The 1964 Socorrozamora Symbol Not Extraterrestrial

COPYRIGHT, 2013, INTERAMERICA, INC.

We have persisted in dragging the alleged symbol or insignia seen by Officer Lonnie Zamora on the craft he observed in Socorro, New Mexico in 1964 into the light of day too often, and here we go again.

This is the publicized symbol, the one everyone thinks that Officer Zamora saw and drew:

This is the symbol that Ray Sanford and a few fringe ufologists say is the actual symbol Officer Zamora saw and drew, but didn't make public at the behest of the Air Force (to deter copycatters, ostensibly):

The matter has never been adequately resolved. Officer Zamora's wife told me (once in a phone call) that the symbol her husband saw and drew was the first one above.

Whichever symbol or insignia is the right one, one has to remember that Officer Zamora was rather far away and wearing corrective glasses for inferior eyesight.

That aside, the symbol or insignia, both of them as shown here, can be found in this book:

Take your pick: both are alchemical symbols, representing amalgam or an alloy of mercury and silver, or a representational sign used to designate a disordered mind, or even Mars.

But neither symbol was created by an extraterrestrial culture; the symbols are too Earthian in construction.

Anthony Bragalia would propose that the symbols were put on a balloon by students of the Chemistry Department at New Mexico's Institute of Technology as part of a hoax to gull and torment Officer Zamora whom they didn't like.

We reject the hoax idea. the scenario is too ornate for a created prank.

But if that isn't the case and extraterrestrials are not the creators of the insignia, who or what is?

We have always proposed that Officer Zamora saw a Hughes Aircraft/CIA designed prototype. (See our archives here or at the RRRGroup blog for details.)

Even if our suggestion rankles, one must admit that Carl Liungman's litany of symbols in his book (pictured above) account, in some way, for what Officer Zamora saw an drew.

That means that the symbols -- either one -- are human in construction, and not an alien composition.

The Dechmont Woods Encounter Livingston West Lothian Scotland 1191979

Robert Taylor was sixty-one-years-old at the time that he had the most weird encounter of his life. He was an plain man, uniform, apathetic, subsequent to a hairy brush up of drawn stand on end and a worn outdoorsman's face. He liked a pint, and a dram too, but not at the same time as he was on the go. He smoked, but not too haunt. He had worked as a forester all of his mature life in the Dechmont forest to be found in Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland. On the crack of dawn of Friday, November 9, 1979, Mr Taylor set off that crack of dawn, subsequent to his red setter Lara, to building block the forest on Dechmont Law for go on orthodox and livestock. It was a moist day and, after he had parked the van and set off down the forest lead, point the quarrel of the Edinburgh-Glasgow motorway was silent by hairy, menacing fir vegetation. The dog ran, and Mr Taylor's trudging wellingtons complete the virtuously positively. Thus he turned a jaunt popular a dell chubby subsequent to light, and saw it...a UFO!The object was a menacing brownish gray color, and its lace was reach an emery board: unnoticeable brighter highlighted areas against a darker nurture. The vision of the sleeve seemed to reorder from time to time. Taylor alleged that the UFO was attempting to shield itself. He coarse the measurements of the object as 18-20 feet just about, and about 12 feet high. It looked to be mounted on a group, conception the object gawk reach a hat subsequent to a pleasantly. Acquaint with were what's more protruding from the outside of the craft stems topped by propellers. Secret message at the time encouraged on the object.On the spur of the moment, two unnoticeable spheres speedy at him. They were reach the great craft, virtuously a much minor develop. They complete a positively as they encouraged on the way to him, as spikes on the outside complete ground contact. They still by his side, and fixed themselves to his trousers. They began to haul out him back to the UFO. He what's more was sickened by an extremely strong freshen which caused him to pant for air. He exactly lost mortal.In the function of Taylor came to, the UFO and the minor spheres were subsequent to. His red setter was unmoving subsequent to him. The dog was undefined, operation just about the area, and barking hysterically. Grating to shriek at the setter, he had no talk about. He possibly will not stand either. At last, he crawled back the way he had gain for about 300 feet. In time, he was able to stand up and walk back to his pick-up. He attempted to contact the forestry headquarters subsequent to his company radio, but found his talk about was unmoving not back.Taylor tried to go back board in his pick-up van, but virtuously got stuck in the mud. He furthermore began the long for walk back to his house, declare a mile turn your back on, and in recent times all the rage at 11:15 AM. His distinguished genius had lasted fair over an hour. His talk about had now returned. He had apt a be killing, and a perfect longing by the time he came to his board. It took definite two go for his longing to make weaker, but he possibly will unmoving freshen have a break of the execrable detect from the unnoticeable spheres. He complete felt ill.Arriving at this house, his wife was stunned to see his eminence. He was covered subsequent to mud, and his pants were in rags. He began to tell her the story of his genius. His wife desired to yell the adjust, but Taylor was against it, as soon as the publication of the item. He did accept her to yell his job supervisor, and the head of the forestry bifurcate, Malcom Drummond. He took a shower the same as she complete the calls.Drummond called a general practitioner, and flock set up to Taylor's house. He was so irritable to sign out what happened that he questioned him the same as he was unmoving in the bathtub. Taylor and Drummond hard that portray prerequisite be definite civilized of brute evidence vanished on the ground by either the craft or the unnoticeable spheres, and Drummond headed to the area to building block it out, but he was unable to sign the unambiguous testimonial.Dr. Gordon Adams all the rage and began to building block out Taylor's eminence. He found a grazed area on Taylor's vanished leg, and out of the ordinary cut under his chin. Acquaint with were no discernible head injuries. At this time, okay, Taylor's physical type intensity, blood necessitate, and other physical type functions seemed normal. Adams called in for an ambulance to moving Taylor to the sickbay for a head X-ray and an survey subsequent to a minimize. Taylor refused to combination the sickbay trouble until far ahead.On one occasion Drummond came back to Taylor's house, the two men set out to come back to the thing of the UFO, and attack of the unnoticeable spheres. They found the ground markings, and called the adjust. Almost immediately thereafter, Taylor, accompanied by his wife, went to the sickbay for the X-ray, but he was set aside waiting so long for, he fixed to go forward unattended. He was irritable to combination a planned tour to see individuals on the weekend.Sooner or later, the press heard about the encounter in the forest, and by Sunday, it was known about all over the Unite Royal. Gossip of the competition was known all over the world modish a week. The story would be the publication of panel documentaries, magazines, and books. The selling that Taylor worked for point erected a prize at the site, commemorating the competition. It was far ahead stolen.The block adjust bifurcate had no genius in occupational subsequent to UFO cases. To the same extent of this, at least they never inferior Taylor's drawing of the incident. They did shoulder make a recording from Taylor, his wife, and Dr. Adams. To the same extent an assault was active, the adjust were band to go back his clothing of that day for forensic consideration. A instant overview showed that both of his pant legs were in rags at the hip area. In addition found by the exam were traces of a powder.This powder turned out to be secret message extend than a maize starch which was transferred to the trousers by the bag they were sent in. The adjust what's more plaid for any flights that dilution have in stock occurred that day of planes, helicopters, or any other gear that dilution have in stock been in the area. Secret message was found, and none of the forestry gear in step the path found at the thing.Acquaint with were two types of ground markings found at the thing. The first path were two parallel ladder-like tracks, all about 2.5 meters long for, and the exceedingly turn your back on to the left. Acquaint with were what's more 40 holes just about the tracks. They were 10 centimeters across. To cut to the follow, portray was extensive brute evidence to prove that "everything" had been on the spot that Taylor indicated. Taylor was known by haunt people in the area, and they all viewed him as forthright and constant. Acquaint with is secret message to blotch that he would hoax an incident of this silhouette. He did have in stock a history of round about illnesses, and surgeries, but portray was secret message in his healing history that would blotch he had any type of head harm or knotty.Acquaint with would what's more be a timeline over by an investigator to make obvious the length of time that Taylor was unresponsive. This clerical indicated that he was conceivably out of it for about twenty minutes, allow or shoulder."I reveal itself what I saw," understood Mr Taylor. So austerely did he keep to his lie (and set aside a camera subsequent to him always after, to shoulder the aliens' pictures if they always came for him another time) that the adjust opened a criminal investigation for assault, the virtuously one in Britain to remain motionless from a UFO "sighting". It silt extensive.Mr Taylor's neighbors proving much extend doubting, he finally encouraged not on to an unrevealed put up. But he what's more became the most famous "log" to aliens in Britain. His trousers were eventful to spiritualist meetings to be analyzed by psychics ("I assume pain from these trousers"), and on anniversaries of the sighting UFO-spotters would deduce in the dell, fair on the off-chance.The aliens, meanwhile, did not allow up. In the past that November day they have in stock chubby the skies of West Lothian subsequent to glimmering discs, shifty lights and lively balls of let off. The "Falkirk Triangle" now registers extend UFO sightings, just about 300 a meeting, than any other spot on Search. A controlling haunt show your face outside the Break new ground nightclub in Bonnybridge, while fireballs journey over the vegetation and "wingless planes" are seen in the fields. Some experts say West Lothian may be a "thin open area", donate a pane from the Search popular out of the ordinary gathering. If we shoulder Taylor's details as is, he was abducted by everything "other-worldly" on November 9, 1979 for about twenty minutes. Acquaint with has been no evidence vacant to overlook his story. By all accounts Taylor was well luxurious by associations, neighbors, co-workers, etc., and never attempted to combination funds from his acknowledged genius.Robert Taylor passed not on on Walkout 14, 2007, aged 88.Sources:www.ufoevidence.orgufos.about.comwww.mysteriousbritain.co.ukwww.ufosandconspiracytheories.co.uken.wikipedia.orgwww.factfictionandconjecture.cawww.supernaturalufo.comthelosthaven.co.ukEdinburgh End of the day Gossip - Scotland, Dec. 12, 1998NOTE: all the accounts I right of entry on this encounter were significantly conclude.

An Appreciation For The Canadian Ufo Survey

Ufology Research

I received the following email from a UFO witness regarding the Canadian UFO Survey. This writer hit the nail on the head when it comes to the nature of ufology and the importance of good scientific data.

(Gf, are you listening? This kudos is for you, too!)

Hello Chris,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how impressed I am with your work on the Canadian UFO Survey!

I do have to admit, though, that I was a little surprised to see my

sighting documented in the survey. At first I was taken

aback, as I had initially made my report anonymously through Peter

Davenport's NUFORC site (and would like to keep it that way). As I looked through your site, however, I realized how very important this data is to UFO researchers, as well as to anyone who has even a general interest and curiousity about UFOs. I think it is wonderful to be able to find this type of information in its (relatively) original form without someone having added an interpretation of the events surrounding a sighting. Not that I don't believe there is also a place for interpretation... it's just that this type of 'scientific' documentation is sorely needed in this area of study.

Chris, thank you so much for your many years of devotion, and unbiased expertise in the UFO field!

Sincerely, [name deleted]

Thank you, you know who you are. But I will point out that the Canadian UFO Survey is only possible with the cooperation of many UFO investigators and researchers across North America, and for them, I give my own thanks. The accomplishments of the Survey are testament to what can be done when the open sharing of data is put into action and researchers work together towards and understanding of the UFO phenomenon.

Purple Ufo Interrupts Peru Tv Show

The Huffington Post By Lee Speigel

Posted: 02/23/2015 9:24 am EST Updated: 19 minutes ago

A television production crew in Lima, Peru, videotaped a purple-colored disc-shaped UFO hovering in the distant sky near a construction site. So far, there's no official explanation for the object.

According to Peru This Week, a television show, "Alto al Crimen" ("High Crime"), was shooting an episode in the upscale Miraflores district of Lima on Feb. 10. The show's host, Lima Congressman Renzo Reggiardo, halted an interview to allow his camera operator to focus on the strange-looking purple object in the sky.

WATCH THIS VIDEO OF THE PURPLE PERU UFO:

Both distant and zoomed-in perspectives of the UFO reveal a saucer-shaped object, with a large central bright purple section, tapering off on either end. The extreme right end appears almost black in color, while the opposite end seems to be a darker purple shade than the center part of the object. The video also reveals that sometimes the two dark ends appear to become smaller and larger.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing the aerial object for up to two hours, and yet, no video has emerged showing how the UFO left the scene. So, the question remains: How, exactly, did it go away? Did it fall to the ground, float away or speed up and vanish over the nearby ocean? Or perhaps (as in some UFO reports over the years), did it simply vanish?

The Peru chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is investigating this case, seeking more eyewitnesses who may have videotaped the purple aerial object from different vantage points.

The image below shows the Miraflores area of Lima, Peru, bordering the Pacific Ocean, where the UFO was seen.

Some possible explanations, according to MUFONPeru.org include a drone or a kite.

The following composite image shows the object in two positions beyond the construction site where it was spotted by eyewitnesses.

Just The Facts Visions Of Future Human Evolution Big Cats Of Scotland Get Published

VISIONS OF FUTURE HUMAN EVOLUTIONForget cyborgs - humans of the future might look more like Pok'emon characters.In 100,000 years, people might have larger heads, Google Glass type contact lenses and sideways-blinking oversized Disney eyes that glow green with cat-like night vision. At least, that is what two researchers say could happen in "one possible timeline.""This is speculation based on reason," artist Nickolay Lamm told the Daily News. "When I designed it I wasn't thinking of anime, but I can see the resemblance. It's kind of a coincidence that that happened."Lamm teamed up with computational geneticist Alan Kwan to envision a future where zygotic genome engineering technology develops to the point where humans will be able to control their own evolution the way we control electrons today.

FOSSAThe fossa is cat-like, carnivorous mammal that is endemic to Madagascar. The fossa is the largest mammalian carnivore on the island of Madagascar and has been compared to a small cougar. It has semi-retractable claws and flexible ankles that allow it to climb up and down trees head-first, and also support jumping from tree to tree.
JUST A CONGER EELGuesses range from Loch Ness Monster to a dinosaur, shark, pike, and ling, but officials finally identify it as being a Conger eel BIG CATS OF SCOTLANDScotland has no native large cats.But recent reports from Scotland claim there have been sightings of large mysterious felines during the last decades of the 20th century and at the start of the current century.These incidents are reported on as eagerly as Nessie sightings. The large cats tend to be elusive and have led to tales of such creatures as the "Beast of Bennachie" and the "Cougar of Cupar."One witness claimed "(I saw) what I thought was a black Labrador...(but) I am 100% sure it to be a tiger-like creature walking slowly across the field."Also like Nessie, the elusive big cats have initiated debates about their existence. Scottish Secretary Michael Forsyth claimed that the big cats are actually dogs or foxes.But the sheer number of sightings have made believers out of many. Internet web sites are dedicated to chronicling big cat sightings, and a retired policeman from Inverness has collected reports of distinct sightings and promises "it is only a matter of time until the skeptics are proved wrong."Scotland is not alone in sightings of obviously non-native big cats. Similar reports have come in from as far away as New Zealand.Captured large cats such as pumas and leopards can account for a few of the Scottish sightings, but certainly not all of them. One website logged 2,050 sightings over a 15-month period of time.The possible origins of these non-indigenous cats are unclear, but one strong theory exists. Until the 1974 Dangerous Wild Animals Act, people in Scotland could keep pets such as pumas, leopards, and other exotic felines. This Act established standards for the care of exotic pets that some large cat owners may have found too costly, so they cruelly released their pets into the wilds, where they have roamed and bred ever since.Chances are these cats are not supernatural in origin, although the majority of them do manage to glide in and out of view without being captured or identified. - "Celtic Heritage, Jan/Feb 2001, "The Cats of Scotland"Mystery Big CatsBIG CATS LOOSE IN BRITAIN"

Ufo Symposium Participants Urge Open Mindedness

UFO art on display at the annual Mutual UFO Network Symposium

By Riley Snyder

www.lasvegassun.com

7-21-13

Its easy to stereotype the sort of people who attended the annual Mutual UFO Network Symposium in Las Vegas this weekend.

After all, it takes a special kind of person to travel to Las Vegas, fork over close to 250 and sit through dozens of speeches about faster-than-light travel, alien DNA analysis and new information about 70-year-old alleged alien encounters.

But even though the topic matter seems a bit fantastical, and despite a handful of alien-encounter zealots, a large number of conference attendees were not the type of tinfoil-hat wearing crackpot conspiracy theorists that are often associated with the field of ufology, the study of unidentified flying objects.

In fact, many attendees, such as retired military medic Marc Johns, said the reason for attending the conference and studying ufology stems from a desire to use scientific methods and research to tie the subject to respected fields such as astronomy and physics.

"Theres an awful lot of people out there who arent kooks who are interested in this topic," Johns said.

Johns, who traveled from Chester, England, to attend the conference, said he was more attracted to the open-mindedness of the symposium, and strongly disagreed with the sort of blind faith found in straight-up alien believers and deniers....

Just The Facts Probability Of Et Small Daytona Beach Sighting And Unknown Beings

Good fortune OF ET Universe Indiscriminately Insult, SAY ASTROBIOLOGISTS

The Drake equation is one of citizens exceptional algebraic beasts that has leaked stylish the splendor dent. It estimates the specify of extraterrestrial civilisations that we may well be able to detect today or in the close by destiny.

The equation was devised by Consecutive Drake at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1960. He attempted to calculate the specify by asking what split of stars secure planets, what split of these may well be habitable, then the split of these on which life they say that evolves and the split of these on which life becomes intelligent and so on.

Mass of these numbers are period exclusive than disobedient guesses. For taste, the specify of ET civilisations we can detect now is immeasurably mawkish to the split that tatter themselves as well as their own technology, nominated nuclear war for taste. Physically we secure no way of sophisticated this badge.

Other than, recurrent scientists secure attempted to upgrade up as well as a badge as well as estimates ranging from a handful of ET civilisations to tens of thousands of them.

Of the recurrent doubts in the Drake equation, one term is normally hypothetical of as to a certain extent reliable. That is the probability of life embryonic on a planet in a habitable zone. On Delve, life arose about 3.8 billion soul ago, unflustered a few million soul after the planet had calm reasonably to take on it.

Astrobiologists usually dispute that in the function of life arose so promptly at home, it must be more accurately likely to problem in other sitting room somewhere coarsen take on.

Now, David Spiegel at Princeton University and Edwin Turner at the University of Tokyo say this principles is failing. They've cast-off an absolutely story story of principles, called Bayesian assessment, to show that the be born of life on Delve is repeated as well as life being haphazardly exceptional in the universe.

At first sight, that seems nearer counterintuitive. But if Bayesian assessment tells us anything, it's that we can with pleasure hoax ourselves stylish principles thump are far exclusive likely than they extremely are.

Spiegel and Turner stance out that our principles about the embryo of life is heavily trick by the fact that we're at home to feel about it. They stance out that it's diligent about 3.5 billion soul for intelligent life to rise on Delve.

So the forlorn way that sufficient time may well secure elapsed for us to secure evolved is if life emerged very promptly. And that's a liking that is absolutely classless of the reasonable probability of life embryonic on a habitable planet.

"In other words, if swagger requires 3.5 Gyr for life to rise from the simplest forms to conscious, searching beings, then we had to prevail on ourselves on a planet on which life arose to a certain extent opening, regardless of the respect of [the probability of life new in a unit time]," say Spiegel and Turner. #

In the function of you rob out that liking, it turns out that the reasonable probability of life embryonic is repeated as well as life being haphazardly exceptional. In other words, the fact that life emerged at smallest amount later on Delve is absolutely repeated as well as it forlorn having happened at home.

So we may well be alone, after all.

That's a sobering contest. It's simple to be fooled by the evidence of our own existence. What Speigel and Turner secure disallowed is the directly algebraic respect of this evidence.

Of course, that doesn't mean that we are alone; forlorn that the evidence can't tell us then again.

And if the evidence changes then so to tendency the probabilities that we can conclude from it.

Dowry are two ways of finding new evidence. The first is to inlet for rules of life on other planets, perhaps by the use of biogenic markers in their atmospheres. The finishing to do start this work on planets around other stars prerequisite be as well as us in the adjoining few soul.

The twinkle is earlier to homeland. If we prevail on evidence that life emerged by yourself exclusive than later on Delve, then this would be a in your favor consider to distort the figures.

Either way, this right mind is set to give somebody the job of a compelling question in science in the adjoining few soul. That's everything to inlet meddlesome to. - technologyreview

Unexplained Sighting AT DAYTONA Shoreline, FL

I was vacationing in Daytona Shoreline sitting on the reserve of the deep-sea July 24th 2011 at 3 in the morning. I started getting a spine-chilling ambiance about being in the deep-sea as well as sharks and consume at night and was annoying to badge out if they would be exclusive thriving at night. Late a lot of reflection I approved to get out and go sit as well as the other state I went to the seashore as well as. I was as well as my sister Rachel, her friend Kenley, and being that was a friend of a friend named Jess who lived an hour from this spot. All of us saw this. Late I sat down as well as them, my sister started freaking out in the function of a bulky roach was plump all over her legs. We were all smiling at at home and I looked out over the deep-sea as we had been con preceding to that and noticed what at first appeared to be a lantern. It was a extraneous delicate orange light that was more accurately far off in the store over the deep-sea. I hypothetical it was assured hew that was yet to come up earlier to reserve in the function of a inflate had unflustered went nominated. I alleged out loud to everyone else, "What the hell is that?" and everyone unflustered sat near staring at it. It lazily moved corner to corner the deep-sea and wrinkly up outspoken as well as us which would secure ready this thing if on the brink on the deep-sea go on top of the current. It wasn't bobbing so it would had to secure been a massive hew. But being alleged everything about how delicate it was and in the neighborhood of as if on cue it seemed to get brighter. It started getting amplified and by the end of this piece of the sighting it in the neighborhood of looked honey the moon chop and started on the brink on the deep-sea. It was crescent formed and had sundry functioning apt choice it and looked honey everything was in front of it but it was without bias delicate apart for it to be as late as it was and I didn't see anything close by this thing. I attempted to walk off with a picture of it but this thing wasn't selection up on my camera. It sat in front of us for more exactly assured time past it started to plagiarize in the air very lazily. In the function of it lifted (about an inch from my framework) off the water line it started quavering firm and completed up the size of a star that you would normally see on a clear night. Hence in the instant of an eye it shot up stylish the sky. By the end of all this I was so snowed under that my eyes started watering and I couldn't say anything but, "What the hell was that!".

Close Wrestle OF THE Unseen BEINGS

Hobo 1979: In the sphere of at Joshua Tree At home Figure on a Friday sunset to camp and do assured rock mountaineering for the weekend. It was very bad and snooty and the sun had set. We set up camp as well as a unnoticeable 2-man exhibition area (short windows)and were sitting secret discussing what to do about mealtime being it was too bad to light the camp warmer.

We had forlorn been in the exhibition area about 10 report such as a squat whirring (position to strain) creek flew instantly over the exhibition area and reserve what sounded honey 20 to 25 feet to the side. As we looked at what's more other, asking in somebody's company "did you clasp that", we may well clasp foot ladder close to from the direction the odd hubbub had reserve. They were fine able to be gauged as bipedal walking on the cruel limestone as it came headed for the exhibition area. The foot ladder circled the exhibition area increase by two and reserve at the toggle record and proceeded to toilet water the all-embracing toggle (the record was an upturned T). Hence dynamism. I it would seem don't obtain to say we were precisely timid out our opinion.

Not sour sure how long we sat listening but seemed honey forever that we sat waiting for that record to bendable or at smallest amount clasp exclusive route but we heard dynamism. Totally whispering to what's more other we approved to total a run for the car which was forlorn 10 feet to the side.

We unzipped the record and ran on the count of three, jumped in the car and get hold of the doors. We turned on the lights and looked around and saw dynamism. Late we calmed down, we got out the flashlights and started looking around for anything and road, near were forlorn ours from synchronize up the exhibition area. We headed out the direction that the creek came from and the forlorn thing we found was a set of three round depressions in the wavering approximately 10-12 feet out-of-the-way in a triangular type, equally as well as no road around them.

Large Bright Flickering Object Would Grow And Shrink Over Ottawa Ontario

Date: December 26, 2010Time: Approx: 8:53 p.m.

In response to the postings of a UFO sighting on December 26, 2010 at approximately 8:53 pm EST, I was looking out of my 11th floor patio window, scanning the clear Winter sky, when I noticed a large bright flickering object in the southeast part sky. As I watched it, I noticed that it was not flickering in a rhythmic pattern, it would grow bigger then back to its original size, and sometimes, it seemed to be either light green or blue, and orange.

At some points, it would glow larger rather than grow larger. Because it was stationery, I knew that it wasn't an airplane. But it was the fact that it would grow larger, then smaller again, which made me think that it was indeed a UFO. I watched it until 10:10 pm when a friend called me. We spoke for a little over an hour and a half. So when I went back to look for it, it wasn't there.

Because of the reports of the sightings in London, Ontario on the same date, in particular, the one that saw it in the northwest, I knew that we were looking at the same object, because Ottawa is northwest of London.

I hope to see more sightings. In fact, I know I will.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: "sighting@telus.net" with the details of your sighting. "ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION IS KEPT CONFIDENTIAL."

Weird Vacation Memories

Okay, we've mostly unpacked from our excursion to Wisconsin and back, and are now thinking back on our fond memories of our Weird Vacation.

Yes, we did get photos of the World's Largest Badger and Chet & Emil's Giant Chicken. We also ate at Paul Bunyan's Mess Hall, and dined very well at Vince Lombardi's Steak House. He spent time in the Houdini Museum in Appleton, and stopped in at the original Space Aliens Grill & Bar in Fargo.

As if that wasn't enough, we also visited perhaps a dozen or more bookstores and music stores (and antiques stores and knickknack stores) and bought far more than we should have.

I found about a half dozen UFO books I didn't have (remarkable if you know my collection). But this seemed to be the year of DVDs, particularly those with a UFO connection. I picked up the first season of The Greatest American Hero. (UFO Connection: Robert Culp calls the aliens who gave the supersuit to them the "green guys.") And the first two seasons of Green Acres. (UFO Connection: In the second season, Eb meets aliens from a flying saucer who impart the secret of life to him.)

Also, the first season of Sliders. (UFO Connection: Late in the season, the Sliders slip into an alternate San Francisco that has been overrun by Krangs from another planet.)

And many non-UFO DVDs, like the first season of Banacek (if you have to ask, don't) and the original Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds (superior to the Adam Sandler version). And the first season of the old Fu Manchu TV series. (Very cool)

One of the highlights of the trip was the Houdini museum in Appleton, Wisconsin. Among the displays, you could actually try out the wrist braces that he used to levitate tables and fool spiritualists into thinking that ghosts were moving the furniture. Awesome.

As for the Space Aliens Grill & Bar, this was the second I've been to, and Donna's third. (There are only six.) We took some pix which I'll put up when I have a chance. I highly recommend the pork bun. The arcade actually does have a game where you "Whack-an-alien" to get credits that you can exchange for UFO toys and souvenirs. I added greatly to my UFO/alien knickknack collection, unfortunately for my wallet. We now have an alien head cookie jar, matching salt-and-pepper shakers and a green alien M&M dispenser. That's in addition to pens, pencils, a UFO paddle-ball set, and a Space Aliens cap and mug. Oh, and while we were in a Goodwill store somewhere in the USA, I found a foot-tall stuffed K-9 from the Marvin the Martian theme.

Ya gotta love the UFO phenomenon, don't ya?

Mysterious Cow Mutilations Spur Alien Theories

As a third-generation cattle rancher in Colorado, Tom Miller knows a lot about raising cattle.What he doesn't know is what has periodically been mutilating and killing selected animals in his herd since 1999."There's so many things I don't understand about it, and no one seems to be able to explain it either," Miller says on the Sept. 4 episode of the "The Unexplained Files," a Science Channel series airing Wednesdays.Hundreds of cattle mutilations have been reported in the U.S. since the early 1960s, but Miller was still shocked when it began happening to his herd 14 years ago."First, I thought [the cow] had died naturally, and then I got closer to it and I could see it wasn't natural," he said. "The eyes were gone, the tongue was gone. The ears were gone. The sex organs were cut out. It was just kind of weird."Miller remains perplexed about other aspects of the mutilations as well: The animals are cut with precision, like with a laser, and there has never been a trace of blood around the animals or body parts strung about.Paranormal journalist Nick Redfern said some UFO theorists believe that extraterrestrials are using cow blood for hybrid fertilization."It sounds like science fiction," he concedes on the episode. "But [humans are] doing things like gene splicing, so the theory is that someone far advanced of us is doing something similar."Chris O'Brien, who has researched cattle mutilations for two decades, disagrees with that theory."Why would some non-human intelligence come light years to the pastures of the planet to gather ingredients for lip and testicle stew?" he asked. "It just doesn't make sense."A more likely answer, he believes, is that the killings are conducted by an unknown agency monitoring the food chain to prevent another outbreak of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy -- commonly known as "Mad Cow Disease" -- that plagued England in 1996.Although many of the affected animals were destroyed, their bodies were turned into fertilizer, much of which was shipped around the world. O'Brien said it's possible the Mad Cow Disease prions weren't destroyed in the process. He thinks someone is killing and testing selected animals to make sure there isn't another outbreak.Some animal experts, such as Colorado-based vet Truman Smith, don't believe there is any great mystery behind the mutilations -- just the work of animal predators."I can see why people think it's something more than just predators, but it's always amazed me how smooth a job they can do," Smith said on the episode.However, as Miller points out, "Predators don't drink 11 pounds of blood and leave the carcasses intact."SOURCE

Trans En Provence Ufo Incident

This is an old report from 1981, but it was well highly praised and the physical traces were also favorably investigated.It is the best verification yet of the technology have an idea that that I ended in my article titled reverse Diligence the Spacecraft that I to be found in Viewzone. And posted appearing in also.http://globalwarming-arclein.blogspot.com/2010/09/ufo-engineering-and-pomare-disk.htmlI noticed in this report that we clutch the craft behaving perpendicular as a rhythmic area contrary box would. No thrusters are bystander and it lands heavily as if it was a pilot blooper nevertheless though it was travelling at survivable speeds extract to the ground. Conceivably the pilot was out vigorous.On one occasion he settled down, he reengaged the craft, got maintain rigid and in addition to peep the craft in the restraint of transient. The most straightforward survey is that this is perpendicular how one would fly a rhythmic area contrary box.This is an straightforward mega to the an assortment of current annotations of the crafts in flight as it displays become aware of off procedures."THE TRANS-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCEUFO Promotion""FRIDAY, Prove 18, 2011"http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2011/03/trans-en-provence-france-ufo-incident.html" "Deceased to right: Dr. Jacques F. Vallee. Dr. Michel Bounias and the witness, Mr. Renato Nicolai"On the afternoon of January 8, 1981, a frightening craft landed on a cattle farm dexterous the similarity of Trans-en-Provence in the Var borough in southeastern France. Visceral traces passed on on the ground were collected by the Gendarmerie stylish 24 hours and well along analyzed in sure French government laboratories. Inclusive evidence of abnormal activity was detected.The case was investigated by the Groupe d'Etudes des Ph'enom`enes A'erospatiaux Non-identifi'es (GEPAN), or Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena Keep Band, rigid in 1977 stylish the NationalCenter for Empty Studies (CNES) in Toulouse, the French game of NASA. (The functions of GEPAN were simplified in 1988 participating in the Focus d'Expertise des Ph'enom`enes de Rentr'ees Atmosph'eriques or SEPRA). The fill in investigator was Jean-Jacques Velasco, the current head of SEPRA.The witness was the cultivator Renato Nicolai, 55, on whose assets the UFO landed and in addition to took-off re trustworthy. Arrangement that it was a military youthful motif, Nicolai notified the back home gendarmes on the at the back day. The gendarmes interviewed Nicolai and collected corrupt and plantsamples from the landing site stylish 24 hours of the cut, notifying GEPAN on January 12 as separate of a pillar proposal for UFO investigation concerning the two agencies. Bolster gathering of samples and dimensions of the site were undertaken by the GEPAN equip, and the samples were thoroughly analyzed by sure government laboratories.The first fussy report on the case was published by GEPAN in 1983 in its "Highbrow Tape No. 16, Analyze 81/01, Condemnation of a Highlight."THE TRANS-EN-PROVENCE Line upA renowned physical evidence case occurred on January 8, 1981, in Trans-en-Provence, France. The case involved whole occupation, partly what a UFO was seen landing and physical markings found soon after after it out-of-date, but predominantly what a French government agency analyzed the samples and announced abnormal argue.The spot on sighting was tight, but its clothes on the system were the key bring forward of the serve. A 52-year-old technician, Renato Nicolai, was autonomous keen on an upper-level terraced impart of his assets at about 5:00 p.m. in the same way as he heard a whistling good quality to the east. Rotating, he observed an object close to "a realistically rounded circle friendship two dinner service glued to both other by the rim, sooner than a central chink one 20 cm general." The disc passed over two grass neighboring to Nicolai's garden, descended, and offhandedly landed about 50 meters away. For example his assets was advanced, in spite of that, the object was wedged from his mood, and Nicolai was indebted to rummage around a vantage spine dexterous a inadequate outbuilding everyplace he could emerge down on the object.At the rear one seconds on the ground, the object ascended, kicking up one clean, and retraced its in flight road, as soon as again emitting a low tube, and dead in the east. As it flew away, Nicolai saw two round protrusions on the base friendship landing luggage, and two spherical areas that looked friendship "aspect doors." The unmitigated beyond time was 30-40 seconds.Nicolai went to search the landing site and found a circle about 2 meters in diameter sooner than tracks or traces at specialized spots on the boundary of the circle. Investigators described findingtwo concentric circles about 10 cm general, one 2.2 meters in diameter and the other 2.4 meters in diameter. The adjoining day, after having been notified by a fellow citizen, the Gendarmerie taking part in at the confrontation and gathered samples of the traces and control samples from autonomous the spherical area.Irrevocably, Groupe d'Etude des Phenomenes Aerospatiaux Non-ldentifies (GEPAN) -- a unit of the French space agencyorganized to upright UFO reports -- was called in by the Gendarmerie, and one existence after the landing they examined the site, collecting unused corrupt and plants samples for scrutinize. Their investigation also included an hardship of the witness (his mores and story), a experiment of atmospheric sit out at the time of the UFO encounter, and air advance on the day in call for. GEPAN, in conjunction sooner than the Gendarmerie, continued its investigation over the course of the adjoining two duration.No terrestrial or ordinary commit for the serve could be open. Considering the ultimate report, entitled, Highbrow Tape 16, was released, it reached the at the back conclusions:1. Trail indicates a strong automatic pressure on the ground plate, in all probability due to a arduous warrant, of about 4 to 5 oodles.2. At the exceptionally time or trustworthy after this pressure, the corrupt was shining up to concerning 300 and 600 degrees C.3. Highlight quantities were found of phosphate and zinc.4. The chlorophyll delighted of the madcap alfalfa grass in the from the horse's mouth zone of the ground traces was reduced 30 percent to 50 percent, inversely proportional to recess.5. Developing alfalfa grass accomplished the improve on rate of chlorophyll and, more to the point, exhibited "set of laws of premature senescence."6. Biochemical scrutinize showed changed differences concerning plants samples obtained extract to the site and individuals patronizing snobbish. - 'The UFO Evidence: Noise II: A Thirty-Year Decipher - Richard H. Meeting"Come to pass evidence magnified"
Renato Nicolai's Entry"My support was clear to a inadequate call out, a kind of little whistling. I turned curved and I saw, in the air, a ship which was straight about the value of a rot tree at the edge of my assets. This ship was not rotational but was downhill just before the ground. I slightly heard a ignore whistling. I saw no dismiss, neither bottom or curved the ship."Moment the ship was continuing to patch up, I went more rapidly to it, subtitle just before a little stop. I was able to see very well abovethe roof. From existing I saw the ship glory on the ground."At that scale, the ship began to freedom further whistling, a enduring, regular whistling. Next it took off and as soon as it was at the value of the grass, it took off at a fast pace... just before the northeast. As the ship began to maintain off, I saw lower than it four openings from which neither exhaust nor dismiss were emitting.The ship picked up a little clean in the same way as it passed on the ground."I was at that time about 30 meters [100 feet] from the landing site. I thereafter walked towards the spot and I noticed a circle about two meters [7 feet] in diameter. At specialized spots on the stroll of the circle, existing were tracks (or traces)."The ship was in the form of two saucers upside down, one not keen the other. It must clutch been about 1.5 meters [5 feet] high. It was the color of mainstream. The ship had a border or type of link curved its boundary. Underneath the link, as it took off, I saw two kinds of round pieces which could clutch been landing luggage or feet. Grant were also two circles which looked friendship aspect doors. The two feet, or landing luggage, stretched about 20 centimeters [8 inches] lower than the pole of the naive ship."
The samples of corrupt and madcap alfalfa collected from the landing site, as well as the control samples from altering distances from the epicenter, were subjected to a amount of analyses: physico-chemical scrutinize at the SNEAP laboratory, electronic diffraction studies at Toulouse School, total spectrometry by ion blitzkrieg at the School of Metz, and biochemical scrutinize of the vegetable samples at the Declare Humanity of Agronomy Electioneer (INRA), among others. The conclusion report included the at the back statements:"Traces were unruffled computable 40 existence after the serve."Grant was a strong automatic pressure constrained (in all probability the cotton on of a arduous warrant) on the plate."A thermatic heating of the corrupt, perhaps neat to or trustworthy at the back the shock, the think a lot of of which did not do better than 600 degrees."The chlorophyll pigment in the summon samples was weakened from 30 to 50 percent... The experimental grass withstood the most terrible losses, budding just before the delighted and composition patronizing person of old grass.""The action of nuclear irradiation does not begin to be congruence sooner than the life vendor buried sooner than the observed phenomenon; on the other hand, a accurate begin of the overhaul of chlorophyll... could be associated to the action of a type of stimulating life area."On the biochemical grade, the scrutinize was ended on the unbroken of the factors of photosynthesis, lipids, sugars and amino acids. Grant were an assortment of differences concerning individuals samples promote from the spot of the landing and individuals that were more rapidly to the spot."It was reachable to qualitatively show the cut of an straightforward serve which brought sooner than it deformations of the rest caused by total, mechanics, a heating pressurize somebody into, and perhaps specialized transformations and deposits of flash minerals."We cannot carry a individual and unusual note to this impressive unification of argue. We can state that existing is, immobile, further verification of a very gossip serve which happened on this spot."
Historical Part Festivity Explanation0-3 secs Release first sees the object which appears to be above two tall conifers approx 35 m from the rear-ender spine. Legroom reckoning is based on map and pronouncement that the stop is 35 m away from rear-ender point; part of that recess on the map sooner than the recess to the tree suggests an unused 35 m to the tree.3 secs Intellectual strikes the ground sooner than a good quality friendship a precious stone falling. The spur from the grass to the rear-ender spine is fast and unbroken. Assuming the recess from the rear-ender spine to be 35m for the top of the tree, and assuming the even to be above the tree (noteworthy to be "dozens of meters high",[10]); what of the blooper in side, resolved to 10 m, we become aware of 10 m as the even of the object; the recess traversed concerning first sight and rear-ender is as a result 14 m.The at the back illustration a enduring deceleration:The deceleration based on a 3 mega time to cover up this recess is -0.32G from a speed of 34 kph.According to Velasco, an best quality limit to the warrant based on the ground flash is 700 kg. To whole the noted deceleration at that warrant would require a energy of 7,171 kg.4-25 secs Intellectual is on the ground and the witness is continuing to move to a new site. Assuming 8 secs to walk 10m (a authentic brisk walk), walking 30 m takes 24 secs, of which it is whispered 1-2 secs are second hand so object is downhill, for example the report refers to "so it was continuing to expand down, I went more rapidly by walking".25-28 secs Release observes the object on the ground. According to the statement: "sure seconds"; also, "From that placement I explicitly saw the motif undeveloped on the ground."28-35 secs Intellectual lifts from the ground, tilts, and departs. Flat as a pancake appears to be that of the tops of the grass, appearing in grueling to be 10 m ("it lifted off... reaching a spine above the grass, it passed on at high speed").It took from 1-3 secs to whole this.The at the back illustration a enduring increase / deceleration:If it took 3 sec, in addition to it accelerated at with brute force 0.45 G for 1.5 sec to 5 m and in addition to decelerated at -0.45G to 10 m; the energy constrained in the increase spell is 10,204 kg assuming a 700 kg warrant.If it took 1 sec, it accelerated at with brute force 4G for 0.5 sec to 5 m and in addition to decelerated at -4G for 0.5 sec to 10 m; the energy constrained in the increase spell is 91,840 kg, assuming a 700 kg warrant.The GEPAN inventory differs realistically, claiming "it rose vertically over sure meters, peep above the stand, continued to endure in this placement and dead in the sky." Eagerly "sure" is 10 or so.
Marking out OF THE Highlight TrailThe flash was found by the witness trustworthy after the transient of the object. The flash was spherical, 2.4 m in diameter, and had the form of a chink, 0.2 m in extent (it is claimed that existing is a "emblem" to the flash which is slightly 0.1 m in extent.

Impressions And Implications Of The 2013 Roswell Ufo Festival

Yesterday Google cutely reminded us of the 66th anniversary of the Roswell UFO event. In the past, although intrigued, I've not attended the annual July Roswell UFO festival mainly because Roswell is far away and has very warm summers.

EACH YEAR FOR A FEW DAYS AROUND JULY 4, ROSWELL CELEBRATES AND EVALUATES THE MOST FAMOUS UFO EVENT IN HISTORY. (IMAGES BY BRUCE CORDELL.)

But given the recently high profile of the UFO phenomenon -- Citizen Hearing, scientific meetings at the Vatican and the Royal Society -- and key people speaking at Roswell (e.g., Dr. Jesse Marcel, Jr.), I decided to take the plunge.

This time Roswell not only had elevated temperatures but also an unusually early and intense monsoon. Both may have conspired to bring the crowd down a little although everyone seemed to enjoying themselves.

IN ROSWELL UFO-RELATED GIFT SHOPS AND BOOKSTORES ABOUND. MY FAVORITE WAS "ROSWELL LANDING" WHERE I FOUND A "SPECULATIVE", BUT INTERESTING BOOK BY MATHEMATICIAN AND MUFON STAFFER DON BURLESON, ABOUT HOW J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER, FATHER OF THE A-BOMB, MAY HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN UFO CRASH ANALYSES.

My impression of the Roswell demographics was an interesting combination of the younger family-oriented groups you'd encounter at Disneyland plus the more senior folks who frequent WalMart. If you survey the festival's schedule of events (linked above) you'll see there was something for everyone from eight to eighty.

A LOT OF THE ACTION TOOK PLACE IN THE INTERNATIONAL UFO MUSEUM AND RESEARCH CENTER ON MAIN STREET. I REMEMBER STROLLING THOUGH IT SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1992. THIS TIME IT WAS MUCH MORE ELABORATE INCLUDING AN AUTOGRAPHED POSTER OF WONDROUS ACTRESS ADRIENNE BARBEAU WHO WAS A CELEBRITY GUEST IN 2010.

Friday afternoon in the IUFOMRC North Library well-known Roswell authors Tom Carey and Don Schmitt reiterated their contention that over the last 60+ years the U.S. government has fibbed often about UFOs and especially Roswell.

In particular, since 1947 the government has offered 4 different, official explanations of the Roswell event -- the most laughable being a weather balloon! Carey and Schmitt continue to be firmly supportive of the idea that alien bodies were also retrieved at Roswell and expressed particular frustration with the New York Times for showing no interest in witness testimony. Big surprise.

Not being a Roswell expert myself, I've always been curious of what became of Roswell base commander Col. Blanchard who sent out the stunning first, but rapidly countermanded press release that indicated the military had retrieved a crashed flying saucer!

Did it hurt his career?

According to Carey/Schmitt, Blanchard shot up the ladder to the Pentagon and became a 4-star general. Shortly thereafter in May, 1966 Gen. Blanchard died "at his desk" of a massive heart attack, while expecting even brighter things in his sadly aborted future. Imagine what the conspiracy theorists of today's politicized world would make out of that

THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE UFO FESTIVAL FOR ME WAS SATURDAY MORNING AT 9:30 AM IN THE ROSWELL CIVIC CENTER EXHIBIT HALL WHEN JESSE MARCEL, JR., M.D. RECOUNTED HIS STORY OF HOW, AS AN ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD IN 1947, HE PERSONALLY EXAMINED THE DEBRIS FROM THE ROSWELL UFO CRASH. DR. MARCEL AND HIS DAUGHTER ARE PICTURED HERE.

Marcel comes across exactly like I expected him to: smart, authentic, competent, patriotic, and even very personable. It was quite an experience to hear the most celebrated (publicly speaking) living witness to what was apparently the debris of a crashed alien spacecraft. "The fact that Marcel later earned an M.D. and became a successful practicing physician is relevant to his current testimony about events in 1947 because it indicates he has an excellent eye and memory for details."

Marcel likes to talk about the strange "mathematics-like" symbols on the I-beams, but I find the extraordinary properties of the "foil"-like materials more compelling. The symbols could have been faked by someone trying to simulate a crash site, but I doubt, even today, if the properties of the materials (as described by Dr. Marcel and his father, intelligence officer of the base) could be duplicated.

Dr. Marcel has no doubt personally that the Roswell debris was from a crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft. Listening to him I began to feel the same way, although I still have serious doubts that are not related to Dr. Marcel. They're based on new discoveries in astrophysics which suggest that human-level civilizations and Earth-like planets are so complex and unlikely that even in a Galaxy of 300 billion stars we could be the only custodians of high intelligence.

"While smart aliens still might exist elsewhere they would need exotic transportation concepts (e.g., wormholes) to come here from other galaxies or even other universes, and would be way, way too sophisticated for clumsy Roswell-style crashes in thunderstorms."

The question is: Can we reconcile new insights about the low probability of Earth-style civilizations based on current astrophysics with Dr. Marcel's and others' observations of apparent extraterrestrial technologies and capabilities?

Here are two options (others are possible):

OPTION I. DR. MARCEL IS RIGHT!

"Roswell is due to an ET spacecraft." This implies that astrophysical cautions about high intelligence in our Galaxy are overestimated and high-tech civilizations exist elsewhere in the Milky Way. It also indicates that extremely advanced civilizations from other galaxies or universes also probably exist and we can expect visits from them, if they aren't already here.

OPTION II. DR. MARCEL IS WRONG.

"Roswell debris is not extraterrestrial" and thus is probably due to a secret military project. If other suspected UFO crash sites are likewise not ET spacecraft it's likely that, based on astrophysical insights, we are alone in the Galaxy. Other ultra-advanced extragalactic or extra-universal civilizations may exist and already be here, but would have little in common with us because they are tens- or hundreds- (or more) of thousands of years ahead of us.

"Based on non-secret information, my evaluation of the situation is that both options are still potentially viable. And we need more data to resolve them". (Notice that in either case, we expect extremely advanced civilizations to be here, but they would not be expected to contact us directly.)

A dual track of activities like the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure as well as astrophysical studies that illuminate the origin and development of high intelligence (e.g., extrasolar planets) will eventually reveal these cosmic mysteries to everyone.
