Searching for a Video

Monday October 6, 2008
A recent article titled Politician and Pilot Spot UFO, from a United Kingdom newspaper, has everyone on the hunt for a video that was tauntingly mentioned in the online article.

At the Irish International UFO conference in Carrick-on-Shannon, the video was shown. According to the newspaper, The triangular shaped image, with lights at each point, which appeared to send a red laser-type light towards earth, drew gasps of amazement from the 70 or so delegates who attended the world premiere of the footage.

To take this one step further, Carl Nally, co-founder of UFO and Paranormal Research Ireland, made the following statement:

There is no footage like this in the world. It is the most amazing and spectacular I have ever seen."

Sounds great, right? Well, where is the video? Why can't we see it? When the report was published, within an hour, I wrote an email to the paper requesting the footage, some of the footage, or even a still frame capture. So far, nothing, but if and when I get it, I will put a link here for all of you to check it out. If any of you run across it, let me know.

More on the October 14 UFO

Saturday October 4, 2008
As you all know, there is a lot of discussion around the Net on a prediction made by Blossom Goodchild that on October 14, a UFO will appear. This information, according to Goodchild, was channeled to her from the Federation of Light. Many of you made your views known on my previous blog about this.

Now, there is even more! Some clarifications have been made about the prediction on a recent Youtube video. Check it out. The group that Goodchild represents has received literally thousands of emails from concerned, or worried people. Does this further the study of UFOs? Make a comment if you wish.

UFO Sighting Reports

Thursday October 2, 2008
Welcome all, to another session of UFO sighting reports. Let's take a look at some recent listings.

Indiana-08-30-08-I took my dogs out for a walk and I looked up in the sky and saw twinkling lights from the north, east, west and south. So I decided to get the dogs in and just as I had, my brother calls and asks me if I was seeing the lights. He and some other family members came over. We all had binoculars, so we went down the sidewalk to a empty field by the house and watched these disc-shaped objects.

All of a sudden, this thing appeared from nowhere. It had red lights, and it was so huge you could see a diamond shape on the belly. It had no airplane sound at all and it disappeared as quick as it had come. Since that night, they have appeared a couple of other times. source: www.mufon.com

West Virginia-09-24-08-I was walking in the park this morning near my house, and as I approached the baseball field, a glint of light caught my attention as I was looking at the cloud formations. I thought at first that it was just an airplane, but on further observation, noticed a couple of things. 1) It was way above the clouds, like maybe 60,000 feet, 2) had a brilliant glow when the sun would shine on it, and 3) appeared to be a little round ball with no wings.

Also as I watched it, it didn't seem to be moving along like a jet plane, but seemed to meander along as if it were being pulled or towed. It had no wings, no contrail, and made no noise. It stayed on a northeast to southwest heading, and if I had to guess, I would say air speed to be around 1000 mph. source: www.mufon.com

Tennessee-09-26-08-I live in Knoxville, TN, and I was walking my 2 dogs for their morning constitutional at about 6:20 AM, when I noticed how lovely the sky looked. There were so many stars out. I could see both the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. It was a very clear morning. Then I noticed 2 identical stars close to each other that were extremely bright. I thought to myself that I had never seen those stars before.

As I continued to watch, they both began to fade until they were gone. I thought maybe cloud cover was the problem, but none of the other stars faded. The sky was almost cloudless. It left me feeling extremely curious about what these were. source: www.mufon.com

Texas-09-25-08-Wednesday night, sitting on my staircase outside using the phone, I witnessed what initially looked to be 2 stars moving south in tandem over the course of 10-20 seconds. They were at a 75 degree angle from where I was, moving directly away from me. At first when I looked up, I thought that they were stationary, and I had a split second to think that "those stars are really close together."

The lead 'star' was profoundly brighter than the back 'star,' which remained at a constant dim or dull brightness. Over the next several seconds, the lead light dimmed to the same illumination of the light following. They continued moving south, and eventually were not visible anymore. I have lived next to DFW airport for the last 5 years, and what I saw was not a plane. I'm estimating that these "tandem lights" were 20-40 feet in the air, which would make the distance between each light tremendous in size. source: www.mufon.com

Great Britain-09-25-08-Intensely bright unblinking light, moving at the speed and height of a commercial plane, heading east over Aldermaston, the UK's nuclear weapons research facility fifteen miles away, and on towards London and Heathrow Airport-fifty miles away.

The early night sky is full of planes at this hour, to and from London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports, with five or six planes' winking navigation lights visible in the dark sky at any one time.

This light was an incandescent white light, larger and brighter than the many stars, and traveled at speed cross the sky. Through binoculars, it sometimes had the appearance of a V-shape, and sometimes a crescent. It was high and silent, with no flashes of light, only a strong, steady brilliant white light, silently crossing the evening sky, on a different flight path to the many planes in the sky at this time.

That will do it for this week, and until next time, keep your eyes on the skies.

Multiple UFOs over Breda, Holland

Wednesday October 1, 2008
Recently, I received an email from one of our readers asking me about UFO activity in the country of Holland. Admittedly, there is not a lot, but I did easily find a very interesting video. Here is the report that accompanies the video:

August 28, 2008-Sighting has been reported to MUFON and other Dutch UFO research organizations. Also, there have been seventeen more reported sightings in Holland. Reports also came in to the KNRM (DUTCH SEA RESCUE), and the police. The same objects have been seen in different cities in Holland.

Check it out on Youtube, and make a comment.

Your Religion & Aliens

Monday September 29, 2008
I saw an article the other day on the Net, titled If Ruins Of An Ancient Civilization Are Discovered On Mars, Will You Lose Your Religion?. The article tells us that recent polls show that the majority of people would lose their religion if, in fact, the reality of extraterrestrials was made known to the world at large.

I was told when I was a young boy that if I wanted to avoid problems, don't bring up a discussion on religion or politics. I believe that was sound advice, but we are beginning to see more and more evidence of a possible disclosure that won't allow this advice to be followed anymore.

I would be very interested in your views on this. If you have faith in a higher power, and the US government did in fact officially announce that our planet had been contacted by beings from another world, what changes would you make? Would this admission change your religious beliefs? Speak your mind on this question.

Boomerang UFO over Germany in 2007

Saturday September 27, 2008
On May 14, 2007, two men saw a boomerang-shaped UFO over the city of Kelsterbach, Germany, at about 1:00 AM. The object flew very low over one of the men's yards. He estimated it at about 75 feet high. This UFO seemed to camoflauge itself, as it first appeared as a moving cloud, then was clearly visible as a boomerang. The sky that night was cloudless.

The object was a silver color, with heavy reflection, described by the two men as being ..."like a mirror." As they watched the object, it recloaked briefly, then again was clearly seen as a boomerang. In only a moment or two, the object was seen near the Big Dipper. As it moved along, it soon disappeared from their view.

The two witnesses got such a good view of the object that they were able to make fairly detailed drawings.

Check it out, and see what you think.

UFO Sighting Reports

Thursday September 25, 2008
Welcome to another session of UFO sighting reports. Let's take a look at some of the reports that have come to my attention this past week.

California-09-17-08-When we first spotted the objects, we thought they were planes or helicopters, but noticed the unusual brilliance in color, strange formation, and close proximity of the objects to one another that we almost knew right away it was something unusual... they had the ability to fly in different directions quickly.

There were four which turned into six star-like, round illuminations twinkling in the atmosphere, dancing beside each other, and forming geometric designs in the heavens of what appeared to be triangles, then L shapes, gliding along in slow motion, but moving from one spot to another. We knew we were watching something different than we had ever experienced before. source: www.mufon.com

Massachusetts-09-15-08-I was on a bus on Long Pond Road, sitting in the front. At this point in the road there are almost all trees on both sides and hardly many houses. The bus took a left turn and I went to open a window. After I sat down I looked up into the front window and a sleek, black shape caught the corner of my eye. I thought it might be an F14 or F15 jet from Ottis Air Force Base, which would have been cool, but it stopped and changed its ascending angle much higher, and actually went through the cloud.

I then realized it didn't look like a jet as well, even from as far away as I was. It was shaped like a diamond that has been squished down pretty flat. I think but am not entirely sure it made a small hole in the cloud. I did not hear any sound, and I believe that I would have with a jet, even a few miles away, but I'm no jet expert. All this happened in seconds. During it, I was excited because I thought it was a jet until it changed direction and I became nervous about it. This was the first time I have ever seen an Unidentified Flying Object. source: www.mufon.com Missouri-09-15-08-My son was on a walk last night. There was a full moon clear skies, lots of stars. We live out in the country away from city lights. We saw 2 very bright lights above the trees moving very slow. He tried to get a picture with his cell phone, but it didn't show up. It made no sound.

He could see the lights were not attached to anything. They were not connected to each other. No airplane landing lights. No blinking lights. Over the summer we have seen a lot of round, orange lights moving slowly from the west to the north. No blinking lights. source: www.mufon.com

Ohio-09-15-08-Me and a friend from Ohio has been in contact now for over 3 months whatever he is seeing off of East Lake, Ohio, we are seeing here in Pennsylvania like every time we talk on the phone.

He tells me what the color of the object is, and that it is heading my way well low, and behold, I see the very thing that he is seeing. They come up along the top of our mountain. They are like 3 different colors, red white, bluish white, and greenish white. Plus we also see the real bright star like an object, not once, but so many times that it's getting to also look like a UFO runway.

Every time we see them they all sneak out of nowhere. Every report that I have read on here so far seems to be what we are seeing up here In PA. I will keep everyone informed on what we are seeing here in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. source: www.mufon.com

Washington-09-15-08-I was taking my normal walk for the night as I always do. When I went by the park I decided to sit down for a little bit and rest. So I am sitting there enjoying the nice night, when out of the blue, I looked up and saw this disc flying very low over my head.

It was bright with a lot of lights flashing around the outside of it. It scared me half to death at first, because I have always wanted to see one. It seemed to slow down for a moment, then, in a flash it was gone. source: www.mufon.com

That will do it for this time around, but be sure to be back next week for more UFO sighting reports. Until then, keep your eyes on the skies.

Lens-Shaped Objects Seen in Argentina Skies

Wednesday September 24, 2008
I have received a very interesting UFO report from my good friend Scott Morales, from Mexico. This event occurred on July 27, 2008, in Rosario, Argentina, and was reported by eyewitness Robert Horacio. I think you will find it of interest.

I was driving in my car along Calle 3 de Febrero in a westbound direction, paying attention to the traffic, when something in the sky drew my attention. Upon looking upward, I saw several objects floating some 60 degrees over the horizon. They seemed very distant, and very high in the air.

The most outstanding thing was a "sort of dirigible balloon suspended in the air"-it was shiny, white, did not make any erratic movements and remained static. To its right, and beneath it, was a lens-shaped object. Above this, was another lens-shaped object, and still another one to the right of the "balloon." It was clear that these were parallel to the surface, all of them reflecting the sun's light on their surfaces, as if metallic. To the far right of this cluster of objects, were six objects, keeping distance between each other. No apparent movement was discernible among these either.

I continued to drive, asking one of my daughters to notice what a strange display this was. She was able to see it clearly. After a short period of time, I turned on Calle Constitucion, and the objects were still there. We soon met up with my other daughter on Calle Zeballos, and she too, could clearly see the strange objects. We watched for a time, and eventually the objects began to vanish into a cloudless, blue sky. My best guess is that the entire event lasted from 5-8 minutes. What could the witness have seen?

Escape the Delusion of October 14

Monday September 22, 2008
Here is a must see. At least for the sake of a good laugh. I'm sure some of you may have heard about this, but just in case you haven't, I will fill you in. A number of you have written me about this, and I want to set the record straight.

There is a web site called Escape the Illusion, which claims that on October 14, a giant UFO will visit Earth, Alabama, to be exact. You might ask, "How do they know this?" Well, how else? channeling, of course.

As you may know, channeling is the ability to receive mental telepathy from another person, or in this case, consciousness. The group claims to have received a message from the "Federation of Light." Now, you probably already know what I think about this, but do go over and check out the video on youtube, and tell me that I haven't lost my mind. Here is what the group is saying:

Blossom's most recent book "The Bridge," documents the messages channeled to her by the Cosmic Beings known as The Federation of Light. In her most recent encounters with them, they have announced that one of their craft will appear in our skies on October 14, 2008, for a period of three days in such a way as to prove to us the existence of other life forms in the Universe. The Federation of Light stress that they come in LOVE to help us, and our planet move to a new Higher Vibration of Love. They have asked Blossom to get this message out to as many people as possible.

I have been criticized in the past for my open stance on certain things like this, but I am a realist, and I will go out on a limb here and tell you that I have created a new name for the web site. Instead of "Escape the Illusion," let's call it "Escape the Delusion." Folks, THIS is what gives Ufology a bad name. Weigh in, and post your thoughts on this.

Lights, Lanterns, or UFOs?

Saturday September 20, 2008
As we all know, there is an ongoing wave of sightings over Great Britain. You may also know that many of these sightings have been explained away as Chinese lanterns. It is probably true that at least some of the reports could be resolved this way. However, when you get a report like the following, one must wonder.

On 09-16-08, over the city of Bristol, more orange lights were observed in the sky. No big deal, really, but let's look a little closer. People actually came out into the streets to see the action above them. What they saw was four lights, which were barely moving. Witnesses said that the four lights seemed to be "waiting for the last one" to appear. Finally, there were five, and then, the lights circled the area several times in a group before disappearing.

Chinese lanterns blown in circles by strange winds? What do you think?
