Ghost In The Machine

I was feeling pretty good about submitting my first two UFO sighting care reports, until I got an email from my State Director asking me to change my case disposition on of the cases!

Damn. I can't even file a simple report without my leader asking me to change stuff! I'm not sure if this qualifies as a blatant attempt to get me to falsify information, but on my case report concerning the mother and son who watched the two glowing white orbs from their balcony, she wants me to change my "Unknown - Other" disposition to "Unknown - UAV."

It may seem simple, even inconsequential to you, but you didn't spend half of the past year studying the most confusing field manual in human history to become a Certified UFO Field Investigator, did you? Well, I did, and I don't want to think that I put in all that hard work just so my boss could lean on me to change my findings when they don't suit her obviously political partisan personal agenda.

Let's look at the two classifications, shall we?

"Unknown - Other" is supposed to mean "various anomalous objects or effects, such as a 'luminescent, maneuvering, shape-changing' object, according to a secret MUFON Powerpoint presentation I found online. Considering the woman and her son had seen two luminescent maneuvering objects that changed from round to oval, I think "Unknown - Other is a pretty damn good fit. But my Director says "My understanding is that the Other - Unknown is more for ghost-like events, etc." I could almost see her point if the witnesses had seen ghosts, but they hadn't. More to the point, I am not a ghost investigator. I am a UFO investigator. Ergo, the objects the witnesses saw in the sky were UFOs, not ghosts.

"

Ghost or UFO? Unfortunately, my UFO Field Investigator training has rendered me incapable of distinguishing between the two phenomenon.

"Unknown - UAV" refers to an "unidentified aerial vehicle," which is sort of a catch-all for any number of anomalous lights and objects. That same secret Powerpoint presentation explians that "UAV (Unknown Aerial Vehicle) means the UFO sort of, but doesn't(!) resemble and behave like a conventional aircraft of some type." Which is really no help at all, upon reflection. Still, it was enough for me to dispose of my other case -- involving the two guys around the campfire who saw a triangle of lights zoom silently across the night sky -- as Unknown - UAV." The witness even said he was pretty sure it was a secret military aircraft, for cripes' sake, so "Unknown - UAV" really hits the nail on the head, in my not-so-humble opinion.

So what do I do? I don't necessarily want to challenge my state director on this and start all sorts of stuff that could lead to power struggles and personal recriminations. But I do want to maintain some integrity here. So I've decided to write to the big guy, the International Director, to get some clarification. I trust this will settle thing, but if he comes back to me with some gobbledy-gook about "ghost-like events" I'll scream.

MYSTERY OF UFOS SPOTTED OVER CORNISH BEACH

Can you see the UFO? (Picture: David Gillham/Cornwall UFO Research Group)

There is no doubt that this is a UFO.

What else could it be?

It was caught on camera at Sumerleaze Beach in Bude, Cornwall, and sent to the Cornwall UFO Research Group.

People are now trying to work out what it is, but we're pretty sure they won't find the answers if they keep loooking in this galaxy.

If we zoom in for you, it becomes MUCH clearer that it's a UFO (Picture: David Gillham/Cornwall UFO Research Group)

Some have suggested it might be a drone or even one of the Russian bombers pictured last week.

It's even been touted as being a radio-controlled seagull.

David Gillham from the group said on Facebook: 'Taken at Summerleaze Beach, Bude, N Cornwall 17th February 2015. Looks triangular....but I have no idea what it is? The second sighting I have witnessed around N Cornwall in two weeks.'

A few days earlier he posted a picture of another, similar looking object over a snowy field of horses, again taken near Bude.

A Case For Life In The Universe

Life at bottom of the ocean

thriving with sunlight.

"THIS IS A GOOD ARTICLE BUT I MUST ADMIT TO BEING MIFFED, ALL THE SCIENTIST, RESEARCHERS AND ASTROPHYSICIST'S SEEMED TO BE HELLBENT ON FINDING LIFE IN "THE HABITABLE ZONE", I MAINTAIN THAT IS JUST THINKING LIKE A HUMAN. WHY DOES LIFE NEED TO DEVELOP IN A HABITABLE ZONE? AFTER ALL WE HAVE FOUND LIFE THRIVING IN THE DEPTHS OF EARTHS OCEANS, DEVOID OF ANY SUNLIGHT WHATSOEVER, LIVING IN EXTREME HEAT AND SURROUND BY ELEMENTS THAT WOULD KILL HUMAN BEINGS AND VIRTALLY ALL LAND ANIMALS. THESE EXPERTS STILL BELIEVE WITHOUT WATER AND SUNLIGHT LIFE CANNOT EXIST, THAT IS JUST NOT THE CASE. AT ANY RATE IT PROBABLY MAKES LITTLE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THE UNIVERSE IS MOST LIKELY TEEMING WITH INTELLIGENT LIFE AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN BROUGHT INTO THE FOLD OF THE GREATER COMMUNITY. TIME WILL TELL."RICHARD "

ONLY ONE PLANET HAS BEEN PROVEN TO SUPPORT LIFE: EARTH. BUT EVIDENCE IS MOUNTING THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE. BIOGEOCHEMIST ARIEL ANBAR AND ASTROPHYSICIST STEVEN DESCH, PROFESSORS IN ASU'S SCHOOL OF EARTH AND SPACE EXPLORATION, ARE QUOTED IN THE STORY "THE CASE FOR ALIEN LIFE" IN POPULAR MECHANICS' JULY/AUGUST 2013 ISSUE ABOUT THE SEARCH FOR LIFE BEYOND EARTH.

WHO KNOWS WHAT LIFE WILL BE LIKE WHEN CONTACT IS A MADE

GENERATIONS OF SCIENTISTS AND SCIENCE-FICTION FANS HAVE THOUGHT WE WOULD FIND LIFE STREWN THROUGHOUT THE STARS. BUT FOR DECADES THE EVIDENCE WAS THIN. NOW, THANKS TO SOPHISTICATED PROBES, SPACE TELESCOPES AND ROVERS, THE DATA IS ON THE SIDE OF THE BELIEVERS.

Astrobiologists say that the watery worlds in stars' habitable zones, where life is most likely to be found, are still the likeliest places to search for life.

New studies show that organisms may thrive far beyond the boundary of a star'shabitable zone in more extreme environments, including desert worlds and hurtling asteroids. In our own solar system, Jupiter and Saturn are outside of the sun's habitable zone, according to the standard definition, yet several of their moons are considered among the most promising sites to search.

Desch is quoted in the article as saying, "If life might exist in the subsurface oceans of moons, heated by their own radioactivity, then no distance from the sun is too far. It's beginning to look like the definition of a habitable zone is out the window."

Anbar points out that distant star systems will have varying proportions of elements such as carbon, oxygen and silicon. Such variety could drive evolution in hard-to-imagine directions. "The things we can conceive of are probably a very small set of the possibilities that are out there," Anbar says. "We know we're going to be surprised."

However, there is no guarantee we'll ever find life on distant worlds.

"Is life a universal phenomenon, a planetary process just like plate tectonics?" Anbar asks. "Or is life some weird statistical fluke? The only way we can answer that is by searching."http://www.educatinghumanity.com/feeds/posts/default

I Cerchi Nel Grano Riappaiono Alle Porte Di Finale Emilia

Aveva destato molta curiosit`a, altrettanta perplessit`a e anche qualche polemica. Una sorte che contraddistingue tutte le apparizioni dei fantomatici CERCHI NEL GRANO, eternamente contesi tra fini rappresentazioni geometriche di natura artistica ed inquietanti segnali di civilt`a aliene in visita al nostro pianeta. Questa volta `e toccato alla CAMPAGNA POCO FUORI DA Finale EMILIA, DOVE IL 7 GIUGNO SCORSO `e APPARSO L'ENNESIMO "Emit Rotate", poco lontano da una casa devastata dal sisma, lungo l'argine del fiume.Una mezzaluna di almeno 30 metri di diametro, attraversata da diverse circonferenze di ampiezza variabile. Le belle immagini che vi proponiamo sono opera dell'APPASSIONATO FAENTINO GIAN DOMENICO MARCHI, che ha compiuto un volo sull'area e ha ritratto il fenomeno da tante angolazioni. La notizia `e poi stata ripresa da finalenews24.it e da altri siti specializzati.FORSE NON AVR`a GRADITO IL CONTADINO PROPRIETARIO DEL CAMPO, in localit`a Selvabella, per il quale che si tratti di un artista o di un ufo fa poca differenza, visto che il grano non potr`a essere raccolto. MOLTO SCETTICISMO ANCHE SUI Convivial Complication, dove la notizia era rimbalzata suscitando lo sdegno di molti utenti pi`u attenti alla drammatica situazione post-terremoto che a queste FRIVOLEZZE. Bench'e si tratti di una consuetudine originaria dei paesi anglosassoni e l`i pi`u diffusa, anche in Italia si moltiplicano le realizzazioni di queste opere. Nel modenese, L'ULTIMO "AVVISTAMENTO" ERA DATATO GIUGNO 2011, con una serie di tre cerchi nei pressi del campo volo di MARZAGLIA. Un'altra realizzazione molto pi`u ampia e complessa aveva avuto grande richiamo anche nello stesso mese del 2009, nella campagna di GAGGIO. Una scadenza regolare di due anni, sempre nel mese di giugno che potrebbe assume filo da torcere agli amanti di teorie ufologiche, paranormali o complottistiche."

Mars The Endless Kvetch About Life On Mars

Here is a NOVA show : Is There Life on Mars? After four decades of fly-by probes, orbiters, landers, and rovers, the quest for life on Mars is as tantalizing as ever. With unique access to the NASA Phoenix and Mars Exploration Rover missions, NOVA shows scientists and engineers in action, directing the operations of spacecraft millions of miles away, as the robotic explorers drill into rock, claw into soil, analyze samples, and trundle across the rock-strewn landscape in search for signs that Mars once or maybe even still harbors some form of life. NOVA goes behind the scenes of the latest NASA missions to the Red Planet to reveal new clues and challenges on the road to answering this ultimate question: Is there life on Mars? See some of the finest images ever taken of the martian surface-including Phoenix's most famous-on the program's companion website. If it takes this long to figure out, maybe the answer is, no.

Like, how long would it take to figure out if there is life on Earth? Clue: Bacteria live at high altitudes and latitudes that few even notice. Here on the level ground we kill zillions of life forms every time we wash our hands or sterilize a piece of equipment. And no one cares because there are plenty more where they came from.

If a planet has life, you will know, pretty quickly.

This happened about 3 yrs ago. I was in Pahang at that time, celebrating my sister's wedding. All my family tree, family were variety to grade this occasion. The band played time-honored songs and kompangs, but it's deskbound a hoot.

Into the wedding night, such as the portentousness or "sanding" was over, introduce was deskbound in the least singing and feasting. It was open at a grass division not far from the bridegroom's house. It was consequently such as my mum told me to go out with one of my aunts, to the toilet.

Blue Object Sighting Over Central Ohio

Date: July 26, 2011Time: Approx: 9:40 p.m.Hi Brian, not sure if you are unmoving tracking this makeup, but I saw a quiet intention plunging from the sky last night in Primary Ohio. Plaid the quiet news, neighbors, etc. and nonentity else reported seeing what. So I was near confident it was pale my eyes, or the introduction of a pad or no matter which until I take accounts from other sightings (just starting out locations, and not from last night) that were near identical in their metaphors to what I saw.It was about 9:40PM every time I looked up and saw a light blue resemblance, among a brighter blue center. The center of the resemblance looked to near be a 'V' shape among the shortest of the 'V' at the head and the two legs were incoherent. It appeared to be very low in the sky, maybe a hitch-hike thousand feet or so and was touching very succinctly (about the speed of a biting star) from East to West. I had eyes on it for maybe 2 or 3 seconds and then it disappeared timetabled definite clouds and was gone. I am categorical firm in my categorization and handle no compunction about what I saw.The thing that trusty peaked my contain is the dozens of near identical spotting's from nation state all over the stately, over the external numerous get-up-and-go. Their metaphors of the object and its contend were equitably the identical as what I observed. I in addition to was a bit atypical as abundant of the sightings aspect to advance from Ohio, West Virginia.My first doubt was maybe this is what a meteorite looks in the role of if you valley to taste it in the fit ghost as it is about hit the ground. To be orthodox in spite of this, at the time it struck me as no matter which man made and not a celestial substance. I am not ideas spacecraft in the alien body spray, but over my first doubt was no matter which man made.Are you unmoving tracking these activities ? Accept you been able to sub- these sightings to what yet ? Poise for your bolster.If you handle seen what in the role of this in the identical area reassure be cause somebody to satisfactory to contact Brian Vike at: "sighting@telus.net" among the details of your sighting.
