The increasing prevalence of unmanned drone aircraft in our skies could, in the future, potentially increase the numbers of sightings of unidentified aerial objects mistaken for UFOs. Drones have been around since the 1950s, predominantly used for purposes of espionage and war. Clumsy and noisy and often captured by the enemy, now they take on a number of sophisticated shapes and sizes -- some as small as toys -- and are increasingly being used to spy on the average Joe Citizen (by which I mean you and me) in the guise of law enforcement. These days there are even aquatic drones manufactured to look like fish (no doubt for checking on all those citizens with illegal submarines), but most of them are air-borne, meaning they can appear at windows, hover over balconies, and chase you down the street. So what happens when a drone appears outside your window? Would you know what it is? Would you know how to react? Would you hit it with a baseball bat and hope that the 'I thought it was UFO' excuse would be enough to get you out of trouble? Sending drones out to patrol borders is one thing, but the fear is, of course, for the simple law-abiding citizen. It appears that nothing and nowhere is safe from prying eyes anymore, the skies are soon to be filled to brimming with unidentified objects, and the totalitarian gaze of Big Brother will shortly know no bounds.

January 2013 January 9 2013, Robina I would like to report a UFO sighting in Robina last night around 9:39pm. An orange ball was pulsating about 900 metres up and around 1 kilometre away from the Foxtel Building. I was walking to the bus stop and was lighting a ciggie so I stopped and then I saw it. It was just hovering there in the sky with no sound of helicopter blades or aeroplane engines, and it was a pulsating orange light. It went straight up another couple hundred feet, then back down to its original position. When it went up it turned white, and when it came back down it was orange. I looked for flashing lights to see if it was an airplane or helicopter, but even then there is no way they could move as fast as that object did. I was absolutely blown away, I have never seen anything like it. The object slowly started pulsating really dark then bright. I pointed my red laser from my keychain at it, and then there was a bright flash then it was gone. I wouldn’t normally shine my laser in the air but I wanted it to come closer so I could see it better. I got the chance to take two photos on my iPhone — one when it was an orange light and the other when it was going up and white. They are not as clear as I hoped but I’ll never forget it!

and I was facing the sand flats and ocean to the East. It was a totally clear night and we had had dinner so it was quite dark. The breeze dropped and to quote from my diary: ‘While sitting at the fire, saw a bright light drop directly into the sea. Lit up the water like the moon and was as big as a car headlight and very bright. Not drifting down like a flare but plummeting down.’ It was NOT a meteorite — I have seen them many times before and they never ‘plummet’ down, and NEVER as bright as this. It lit up the water with a bright, white light, as does a rising full moon. Some weeks later we read where there was some ‘space junk’ fell to earth and more or less put it down to something like that. Carmila Beach is some six kilometres east of the highway, approximately 100 km south of Mackay Qld. There are no large towns in the vicinity, so no light ‘pollution’. It was the day before the Census, which gives a definite time frame. No one else was in the immediate area and no one else there saw it, to our knowledge.

March 2012, Texas (reported January 2013) I am a German 26yr old woman living in Australia for three years. I am an artist,

doing mostly photography and therefore I love to travel much. I was in Bandera, Texas, in March 2012 where I accidently took some pictures of UFOs [below]. I was actually trying to capture stars but something else appeared on my camera. I have a series of the photos, so a professional UFO person (as far they exist) could tell that they are real and as well how quick they must have moved I would describe the UFOs as coneshaped and beaming or sending something clearly out. They appeared in absolute silence and were green and red in colour.

December 2012 (location unknown) In December 2012 my father took a photo with a digital camera of our family home. In the top left-hand corner appears a rounded object [image bottom right]. We don’t know what it is and my father didn’t see the object before or after the photo was taken, and other photos do not bear the same object. The photo was taken in a north-south direction and the moon is on the opposing side of the home. I have zoomed in on the object and it has a

August 8 2011, Carmila Beach (reported January 2013) I have never before reported any sort of sighting and this one I have only told a few people with the standard “Oh. OK yeah” reaction. When we travel I keep a diary, which is why I can state time and date and location with accuracy. We were camped at Carmila Beach Queensland on the above date. There was a fresh onshore breeze with a low tide coming in. My husband was collecting wood to put on our little fire,

January 18 2013, Ocean Shores/Tweed Heads I read your article in the Tweed Sun on the 10th January and have decided to share my experience with you. I am not sure what it is I saw but I know I have not seen anything like it before -- a long thin object just above the horizon. It looks to be the shape of an aeroplane, but why is it so low and moving so fast. If you check the timing of the photographs [above and right] first to last, you can see it didn’t take long for the object to travel out of sight, therefore it had to be in the sky and not on the water. The photos do show this pretty clearly though. There was no sound so I thought it unlikely that it was an air force plane up from Evans Head. We live at Ocean Shores and the object headed north towards the Gold Coast, it appeared to turn inland when it had passed Pottsville. My husband and I thought we saw a UFO back in the early nineties, and people we mentioned it to said why didn’t we take a photo? I didn’t think of it at the time, so it was the first thing I did this time!

NOT a UFO... but a BEE over Dagestan in 2000…

PAUL STONEHILL

Author of THE SOVIET UFO FILES (1998) Co-author of MYSTERIOUS SKY : SOVIET UFO PHENOMENON (2006)

According to Russian journalist Vyacheslav Fyodorov (http:// www.warlib.ru/), a UFO sighted over Dagestan on November 14, 2000 was actually an advanced Russian weapon, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The sighting was widely reported throughout the world after the initial story carried by Interfax Agency. Philip Mantle’s and my new book about Russian UFOlogy contains a detailed account of this and other fascinating sightings and UFO reports from the Caspian Sea. Dagestan is one of the republics of the former USSR. A part of the Russian Federation, it is located between Caspian Sea on the East and the C a u c a s u s mountains on the West. It borders Chechnya.

Yakovleva) named for A. S. Yakovlev, a famous Soviet aircraft designer.The Yak Aircraft Corporation is now a privatized Russian aviation corporation. Pchela (a drone component of the complex) was built, as far as is known, at the Kishtim Radio Plant, with the help of the Smolensk Aviation Plant (while the Smolensk Aviation Plant joined with the Yakovlev Design Bureau in March, 1992 to form the Yak Aviation Company, the

Combining Mr. Fyodorov ’s information and some thorough independent research, I have found out the following: In March of the year 2000, the Russian Defense Ministry had approved an unmanned reconnaissance system Stroy-P (unmanned reconnaissance complex or PRC). The system was created in the Yakovlev Experimental Design Bureau, a major Russian military aircraft manufacturer, (OKB imeni

two entities seem to be operating separately); the official maker of the Pchela is Kulon Scientific Research Institute (R&D Institute of Aircraft Technology). This system, or complex, includes a launcher on caterpillar-fitted platform, two vehicles and ten (initially, five) Pchela-1T 061 aircraft. The Stroy-P

complex was accepted for service with the Russian Army in 1997. A Pchela (remotely piloted reconnaissance drone that provides television surveillance of ground targets) weighs 130 kilograms (loaded), has an operational range of 110 to 150 kilometers, can fly at altitudes ranging from 100 meters to 3 kilometers, and cruises at speeds from 11- to 150 kilometers an hour. Combat-recorded range: 55 kilometers. Its flight endurance is 2 hours (it needs 20 litres of gasoline for this). Its power plant is a piston plus two solid rocket takeoff boosters (power at 32hp). Onboard the Russian drone are a video camera, a still camera, a mapping camera, and a secure radio. It uses a parachute for landing. Pchela is probably equal in capability to many Western UAVs in the same class. However, it is a slower, tactical unmanned aerial vehicle than, for example, the Russian 800-kilometer-per-hour Reis UAV. The chronology is as follows: in 1982, the Soviet military gave instructions to the A.S. Yakovlev Design Bureau to develop a small, remotely piloted aerial vehicle (distantsionno-pilotiruemiy letatel’niy apparat, or DPLA). The person

ufO encounter


in charge of the project was a talented designer, Yuri Yankevich . Years later, a DPLA-605 Pchela was developed. This was the first Soviet UAV capable of monitoring ground targets with an onboard television camera that had a realtime downlink. Later, Pchela (Russian word for a honey bee), the unmanned tactical reconnaissance drone (bespilotnyi samolet, in Russian), was modified to Pchela-1T (TV observer), Pchela-1IK (new version ), and according to www.aviation.ru/Yak/, to Expert, a fifth generation unmanned tactical reconnaissance drone to replace Pchela from the Stroy-P system. Back in the summer of 2000 the Russians were conducting test flights of their Pchela-1T light u n m a n n e d reconnaissance aircraft, according to Mr. Fyodorov. Apparently, Russian media carried stories about the “airplane-robot” and its onboard TV camera. The Pchela drones tested in November of 2000 are also equipped to fly in the nighttime and have infrared vision capability. The timing of the UFO sighting over Dagestan and the tests of the Pchela drones coincide. A similar “UFO” flew into the Soviet Union back in 1969, and turned out to be an unmanned American espionage aircraft. The Soviets were sufficiently impressed, and their government ordered that a similar aircraft be developed per Soviet standards and equipment. However, the Soviets were designing their own unmanned spy planes back in the late 1950s and 1960s. We can be certain that some UFO sightings through the years of the Cold War were nothing but tests of such aircraft observed by innocent bystanders. Meanwhile, the Pchela was incorporated, as a weapon, by Russian armed forces in 1997. There is a special unit dedicated to the use of unmanned aviation systems in the town of Akhtyubinsk, in the Astrakhan province of southern Russia (a Russian state aviation research center is located there as well). Russian Bees are sold to foreign buyers, too, and have been featured at the Russian pavilions at the international aviation exhibitions. The Russians have used the Pchela in Chechnya, but Mr. Fyodorov doubts that the Russian military has

ufO encounter

utilized the weapon’s potential fully. However, Russian Military Parade magazine (1999) claims something different. Their information came from a source in the Russian Defense Ministry. This source claimed the decision to use PRCs in Chechnya to provide continuous aerial reconnaissance and target designation data for the Federal troops had been taken after analyzing the results of combat operations in Dagestan.The fact is, when suppressing the fire positions of the rebels, the Russian troops were lacking reconnaissance information transmitted in real time mode.

due to financial restraints, the Defense Ministry has not yet purchased a single new Stroy-II complex and currently has only three earlier produced sets (the article was published in early 2000), one of which was tested in Chechnya. Russia’s Defense Ministry is expected to encourage adoption for service of the Pchela-1T RPV (or RPC-P.S.) with night vision equipment. The Pchela-1T RPVs employed in Chechnya (at the time Mr. Novichkov’s article was published) were equipped with only day surveillance TV cameras. The Pchela version, fitted out with infrared night-vision devices, was developed a long time ago, but its tests still had not been completed in early 2000 due to lack of funds. In November of 2000 the tests were performed, as the sightings reported confirm. Another confirmation of the tests can be found here: h t t p : / / w w w . v o r. r u / s c i e n c e / madeinrus15_eng.html

Also, in 1995, the Stroy-P complex was already used in Chechnya (a Pchela weighed 138 kilograms at the time). According to www.rg.ru/english/ Archiv/2000/0114/1.htm, the unmanned air reconnaissance military unit was situated on the mountain Goiten-Kort near Khankala. The “planerobot” proved its unique abilities having received a lot of valuable information that saved hundreds of lives. But the Russian Defense Ministry lacked funds to procure the upgraded weapons (according to the information form 1999; obviously, in the year 2000 the funds to procure upgraded Stroy-P complexes were found). According to the same source, the Pchela-1 RPC made 10 flights in Chechnya, with a total flight time accumulated of 7 hours 25 minutes. Why would the Pchela be operated over Dagestan? To provide round-theclock control over 200 kilometers of the Chechnya border, and to block the attempts of rebels to penetrate the adjacent territories, according to the Military Parade’s source. In 2000, the same magazine had an interesting article written by Nikolai Novichkov, Editing Director of the ITAR-TASS Department of Scientific and Technical Information. The author claimed that

The “UFO” sighted over Dagestan, it appears, was one of the Russian Army’s tactical reconnaissance assets. By the way, in 1989 a Nikolai Novichkov was one of the editors of the EnglishRussian Dictionary of Antimissile & Antisatellite Defense (Moscow Military Publishing House). The dictionary had unidentified flying object as an entry (page 353). I believe he is the author of the article in Military Parade. This is a footnote in the turbulent history of UFOs over the USSR.

extraterrestrials, human consciousness and dimensions of soul the intimate connection

The human connection to extraterrestrial intelligences does it transcend space and time? “I believe we are trying to explore a MULITVERSE through the eye of a needle.” Broadening the mandate of Contact: The majority of the public and most researchers believe that Contact or encounters with extraterrestrials are defined through two, very limited windows of Contact experience. Firstly, the Abduction scenario, when the individual may feel paralyzed, and taken in a trance, a deep sleep-like state onboard craft. Secondly, the contactee, who has full conscious recall of their Encounter. My research however, suggests a third far broader category, which is far more common and less physically intrusive. It encompasses some of the above, but embodies more subtle patterns of experience. If we broaden the mandate to be inclusive of this third category, we stand to gain a far more fascinating picture of Contact and how or why these intelligences are interacting with us. In this article I explore all forms of Encounters and ask why research with Experiencers of Contact with these intelligences offer such diverse and conflicting data. What approach is the best for the Experiencer seeking answers and verification of their encounters? I explore the benefits of the holistic approach to gathering data. The misconceptions regarding data revealed by hypnosis, and question if extraordinary data is confabulation, fantasy, or potentially demonstrating a new reality: a multi-verse. The testimony from Experiencers challenges not only consensus reality, but our dearly held religious and spiritual beliefs, and

demonstrates an intimate and complex association with extraterrestrials, a connection that spans both space and time, including the realms and dimensions of soul. The broader context of encounters and what makes contact with extraterrestrials real? It is my belief that the extraterrestrial encounter, when it occurs consciously or in an altered trance state and involves a communication with non human intelligences, and subsequently changes the perceptions and world view of the individual, is Contact. Although the term abductee and contactee are synonymous with extraterrestrial encounters, in my opinion the third category is far more widespread. It is subtle, part physical, and can be experienced in an out of body or dream state (OBE) where the interaction and encounter is with the spirit or soul body of the individual. This OBE Contact cannot be confused with normal dreams, despite its dream like quality, mainly because it’s easily recalled months or years later. Normal dreams however, are soon forgotten, seconds or minutes after waking. Communication in this dream state, and also when the individual is conscious, is telepathic, and sometimes experienced as downloads of data. These individuals generally do not seek conventional help, despite feeling isolated. They are fully cognizant such experiences, if vocalized, may incite ridicule or at worst a psychiatric label. A big difference between Encounters is that the Abductee can feel angry, traumatized and

victimized, but the third category of Encounters feel the opposite. They feel their own species is alien and the extraterrestrials are family. They experience a huge sense of isolation, and are appalled by the primitive, destructive behavior of the human species, and cannot relate to it. I use the term, ‘Homo Noeticus’, The New Human, or Star Children, for this third category. What all Encounters have in common is that their interaction becomes transformative. The challenge to their consensus reality through these Encounters acts as a catalyst and triggers awareness of a multidimensional reality, which changes their lives and perceptions of reality forever. The open mandate, exploring the unknown. “Just observe, drop all your preconceived categories as best you can, and just collect raw information. Don’t even use words like happened or didn’t happen, exist or doesn’t exist, inside outside, real or unreal, just put that all aside and collect raw data”. Thomas Kuhn, Author, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, (1962) This mandate articulated by Thomas Kuhn may be controversial, but I believe he is correct for this phenomenon, because we are attempting to understand something profoundly complex, through a window of human experience, the subjective human lens, limited by human programming. We do not have the information available to assess some of this data from our

ufO encounter


present consensus reality. If we wish to understand ourselves, these experiences, the complex psyche, methodology and programs of many different life forms visiting this planet, intelligences potentially years, or centuries ahead of us in technologies and spiritual awareness. We have to be totally open to what we don’t know, and collect ‘raw’ data. By raw data, I mean information which may not fit into the consensus reality or scientific models at present. Unedited data collated without personal bias and simply documented from these sessions without prejudice, or leading questions. If we are open to explore this raw data as potentially valid, despite its controversial nature, and from all types of Encounters, we may gain a clearer understanding of what we don’t know. Extraordinary data has been uncovered by many researchers and therapists, but it is often dismissed as confabulation or a product of over active imaginations, because it conflicts with present consensus reality. My difficulty with this approach is simple: it supposes we know what we don’t. In our ignorance, we have to question if we are capable of judging what is valid! The open mandate allows for exploration of unedited data with the potential to offer greater understanding of this human experience, but also new information about who we are, and the nature of reality. The veracity of the data comes in the form of consistent patterns of experience, when sourced by hundreds of psychologically sound individuals. I propose it would be unscientific not to seek similar patterns, and collate and research what it conveys. As a researcher and therapist, working with 1800 cases, I discovered that my client’s accounts have challenged all my dearly held beliefs, just as it challenged theirs. I learnt that if I was to explore uncharted waters, I had to first acknowledge how little I know. Otherwise I may be inclined to accept only data that complied with what I know, and in my ignorance, throw the proverbial ‘baby out’ with the bathwater. The open mandate was an approach which proved to be extremely useful to the client also, because it gave them permission to explore whatever their conscious and subconscious revealed to them, without fear of judgment. It also gave them an opportunity to gain new insights and

ufO encounter

understanding, for their healing and integration. This freedom to explore was facilitated by knowing I was totally open to what they vocalized, and would not interfere or judge either them or the information revealed this way. Conscious and subconscious recall. The validity of hypnosis -- can our subconscious ‘if allowed’ tap into what may be the true nature of reality? The conscious recall of experiences has always been accepted to have more validity. I query this supposition, and ask if this is really accurate in all cases. I believe that conscious recall can be more

Especially if it challenges most of consensus reality? I have found that even though the Experiencer from a conscious level may be conflicted by the data, it seems that at some deeper level it ‘resonates’ and makes sense to them. By resonates, I mean it creates an emotional or bodily response to the data, a gut feeling that feels correct to them. As a researcher I follow the same mandate as Dr Mack, who has stated on numerous occasions that we can seek patterns of experience, and if a significant number of individuals vocalize the same data, independently, then it must have integrity, and needs to be further explored, and collated. Conflicting and diverse research data, why is this?

limited than the subconscious recall, because it is coloured and edited by the analytical left brain and its third dimensional programming. Author of Abducted and Passport to the Cosmos, Dr John Mack, a renowned and respected former Harvard Professor of Psychiatry, studied this phenomenon in depth. Dr Mack believed subconscious data revealed though hypnosis was far more accurate than conscious recall. It was his belief the subconscious reveals data without the conscious edit, so potentially it could be far more accurate. I agree. Conscious recall is extremely helpful, but offers a limited picture, whereas hypnosis allows for unedited data to surface, which could add so much more information to our limited data base. Although, hypnosis, like any tool, can be misused and relies on the understanding, training and integrity of the facilitator. In skilled and professional hands, it is an excellent tool and offers an invaluable window into the human psyche. If we can suspend judgment on the data revealed this way, we have the opportunity to learn about new patterns of human experience. And if we remain open to what we don’t know, we can avoid throwing ‘the baby out’ with the bathwater. But many argue how can we verify the ‘integrity’ of such extraordinary data?

There are so many varied and conflicting hypotheses in regards to our understanding of Contact. I believe this stems primarily from the focus and level of research. For example, researchers who only accept conscious recall as valid, and discount data revealed by hypnosis. The other variables: * Evaluation of what constitutes ‘acceptable’ data. * Inexperience of the researcher or therapist. * The depth of the enquiry or focus. * The type of questions. * Disinformation by covert black ops. * MILAB abductions. (See notes at bottom of this article). * Researchers with a personal bias or agenda. See article (2011) by Carol Rainey. In this honest expose of two previously highly regarded researchers. Rainey exposes their unprofessional approach to collating of data and treatment of individuals and consequently providing damaging and erroneous conclusions. Awakening Chapter 6; Who can I trust to help me? For the Experiencer faced with sourcing help for their encounters it is a very limited resource base. The research field of Ufology has had more than its fair share of incompetence, due to the way it’s perceived as non valid by mainstream. It means that support for

9


the Experiencer is mixed, often amateur and most often inadequate, because of the dearth of non-professional resources. Coupled with this is the difference in focus between the researcher and therapist/researcher. A researcher primarily uses scientific protocols and scientific models of reality to decide what is tangible and acceptable data. This protocol may accept exploration of scenarios such as type of beings etcetera, to prove that the encounter occurred. However, this limited protocol, without further exploration, most often leaves the individual feeling ‘victimized,’ or worse, re-traumatized, with little understanding. I have met numerous individuals who years later cannot speak about their encounters without pain and fear, because of this limited approach. The therapists’ focus is primarily on understanding, integration and healing. It can be open to explore less quantifiable data, and offers understanding and answers, even as it sometimes challenges present beliefs with an alternate perspective on their Encounters which facilitate healing, acceptance and integration.

operate in a multidimensional reality. In Awakening I discuss this as the ‘realization event’ when the person finally accepts that the old paradigm no longer works as they embrace the new one. It can be terrifying to have all your beliefs of reality challenged and to accept an expanded reality. But like the apprentice shaman, they face their ultimate fears to explore and cope with a multidimensional perspective of reality. The shamanistic experience was found to be parallel in outcome to Encounters, bringing transformative, heightened psychic and healing abilities to the individual. ‘Shamanism and Alien Abductions A Comparative Study’, Simon Harvey Wilson (2000) The dimensions of soul As we explore these potential realities, we find some Encounters suggest that these intelligences may work or interact in dimensions of non-physical realities, such as the dimensions of soul. This encompasses Contact or communications with them, prior to our

Exploring the multi-verse. This phenomenon asks us to be courageous and c h a l l e n g e consensus reality, to be ‘wise’ enough to accept what we don’t know, cognizant that our present understanding of reality is being framed by a science in transition. Concepts such as Quantum Reality, the Holographic Universe, Unity Consciousness, theories which suggest that everything is interconnected through consciousness. This is very similar concept to what those with Encounters convey, but experientially. Their experiences demonstrate this alternate multifaceted paradigm which could prove to be the ‘true nature of reality’. I feel that we as a species are being challenged by such Contact to relinquish our old reality programs. Encounters, a modern day ‘shamanic experience’ designed to break down outmoded programs of reality and allow us to become fully conscious and

present physical incarnation, exampled by what Dr Michael Newton describes in his book, Destiny of Souls, the lifebetween-life, soul state. Furthermore, my research suggests this interaction may also continue after we physically die. Testimony recounts that after our present human incarnation, we may remain involved with these Intelligences. Interactions throughout what we would term time and space. I explore some of these extraordinary accounts which are consistent, and seem to surface at the deeper level of hypnosis. They illustrate interactions

which seem to have no limits in the space time continuum. I have no way to personally verify any of this data. Again, my mandate as a recorder of such data and as Dr John Mack suggested I have collated these patterns of experience for consistency and corroborative data. But, if true, indicate interactions/encounters not only in physical form, but when we are separated from our physical body, such as in an astral or out of body (OBE), soul state. But added to this seems to be interactions through many lifetimes, and the in-between-lives and before our present human incarnation, encounters which continue after our present physical life ceases. So to all intents and purposes the interactions are both physical and non-physical through many timelines, as we are educated and assisted in physical realms and the realms and dimensions of soul. This information is profound and answers for one of the most pressing of questions asked by the Experiencer, especially if they have felt victimized by their encounters. To their astonishment, when the question regarding consent is asked, they may be shocked to discover this permission was given, before their present human incarnation. They describe themselves as an intelligence, which appears to them to look like a bright orb of light, their soul essence. They vocalize: “I agreed, but it was before I came here”. Some add, “I have a job to do. To assist in the evolution in human consciousness”. Hundreds have verbalized such statements. I recall sharing this information with one well known author and fellow researcher. He totally dismissed the data, and argued this information is a form of delusion, a program instilled by these Intelligences hoping to trick the individual into accepting their encounters. I find that explanation very difficult to believe, given how my

clients resonate at some deep level, the fact that it makes so much sense to them. I question who is paranoid. Do we trust or negate what resonates to the Experiencer, or what we as observers prefer to believe? I do not have the answers, I do not pretend I have, but I do have concerns when anyone articulates such a mandate without any data to prove such a negative and fear based perspective is unhelpful to this research. “Whoever sets himself up in the field of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods”. Albert Einstein. My research to date demonstrates that the highest percentages of encounters are supportive, loving and consensual. “As far as my own contact experiences I became very compassionate towards the ET beings as there is much humans can learn and benefit by interacting with them. I was fearful of my experiences only when I realized that I seemed to be the only one having them. I didn’t know what was going on or why. But there has always been an ‘equal’ exchange. I helped them achieve their genetic goals and in return my healing and psychic ability, plus my life on earth and so on has been enhanced. They also protect me when I ask them to. Basically at the start I misunderstood the Greys. The knowing “ET” part of me initially made a decision to assist them and understanding of this can be overshadowed by fear which stems from our limited human perceptions and reactions to these experiences”. Tracey Taylor, Experiencer, (24) Western Australia. The soul domain If we are open to what we don’t know, it leads us into some fascinating hypotheses. The OBE encounter, where many individuals perceive themselves as ‘orbs’, or spheres of light. They describe leaving their body as an ‘orb of light’, in metaphysical terms called a ‘merkabah’. This happened to the Experiencer below: “A beautiful space, I love it, it is my home, we are everything, I’m every shape, I was a born soul, just beautiful, with energy, the energy of the soul, we create you create, I’m liquid, I’m fluid, I can go here or there, like a bubble, this is the form of soul”. Peter, Experiencer (60) Sydney, Australia. The ‘orb’ of light is suggestive of the

ufO encounter

‘soul state’ when travelling out of body. In some encounters, people relate that their partner cannot be woken up, no matter how they called out to them, shouted or shook them. In regression hypnosis, I had one explanation. The ‘awake’ person, perceived an orb of light entering the bedroom, a bright, greenish ‘orb’. It moved about the room, and it was so strange and scared the person. Very soon after it appeared, the sleeping person awoke. In regression this orb of light proved to be the astral body or OBE ‘soul state’ of the sleeping person, returning to their physical body.

outcome for his grandmother, encouraged him to proceed. In the regression he spoke about the profound nature of what he termed ‘new souls’. We have to be reminded this was a 15 year old boy speaking about concepts he had no awareness of consciously. In one encounter with the Grey’s, he also recognized his departed relatives, describing them appearing as ‘orbs’ of light. He said they were there to support him, to stop him being frightened. The below is a transcript excerpt of this amazing session.

In another instance, it was demonstrated that we may inhabit other ‘life-forms’ while in this OBE state. An Experiencer, one of what I call a Star seed, felt she had ‘dual consciousness’ articulated as part human, part ET. In regression, she described being on-board a craft, saw herself in the form of a Grey being, working as a scientist. I asked where her human form was located. She answered, it was on the craft but inanimate, while her consciousness inhabited her ‘ET self’. I asked how she returned to her human body. She described a ball of light leaving her extraterrestrial form to reanimate her human body. She said it was like she changed one biological overcoat for another. Many other individuals have experienced this swapping of physical form to an extraterrestrial form when in an OBE state.

John: “I am in a car, left of the front seat, mum’s driving, about 5.30pm. I can see chimneys and stone walls and fields, and a red car, we overtake the red car…………..Weird, there is a ‘Grey’ standing in the road, now there is two. Not tall, about 4 ft, no clothing. They are not like you see them, they are more complex, nice and more friendly than you imagine, more curious. They are smiling, they are more human than you think………….We are now outside the car standing at the door, they are curious we are touching, it’s both ways, they feel like dolphins no more like a snake but smooth we touch each other…………..They are saying hello”.

This research offers an insight that demonstrates an extraordinary perspective of our intimate connections to these intelligences, and invites more questions as to the true nature of reality. It examines concepts such as interspecies genetic links, individuals told they may have DNA from one or more extraterrestrial life forms. Links that transcend space time, and interactions with souls before and after human incarnation. Some extraordinary data came from a 15 year old boy I worked with in the UK in 2008, when on a lecture tour. The data was intriguing, especially given the age of the young man. There were many fascinating aspects to the case, and I did hypnotic regressions with two members of a family of four. They had a joint encounter, and experienced ‘missing time’. I regressed the grandmother, which was extremely successful in dealing with her long held fears, fears she finally released through this process. Her 15 year old grandson I will name John. (Not his real name). John was very uncertain he wanted to have hypnosis, fearful of what he would discover. However, the positive, healing

Mary: “Tell me what you are seeing”.

Note: John also relates the Grey’s speak to him in his mind. He then recalls he has seen them before when he was 3, 5 and 7. The interesting comment as to the ‘feel’ of the Grey’s, gives this extra veracity. A similar comment was articulated by 4 year old boy, who spoke about the ‘aliens’ coming to play with him at night. He commented he didn’t like them touching him because they felt like dolphins. We have to question how both these boys could ‘know’ what dolphins feel like. Information from Dr Michael Wolf author of ‘The Catchers of Heaven’, a highly credentialed man with top security clearance, claims he interacted and worked with several types of extraterrestrials in secret facilities. In a You Tube interview, he also commented the Greys he had met had ‘dolphin like skin’, and share an evolutionary link with dolphins. Mary: “What happens next?” John: “We are above the world, I don’t know, (confused) sitting in the car……” Mary: “Where are you now?” John: “In the craft, it’s like a bubble, there are two Greys, I can’t see through the craft though, it was next to the car and taken off over the chimneys, like the

floors do not have a reflection, it’s a bubble with a yellow tint, people can’t see in, we go over the chimneys and over the hill.” Mary: “What happens next?” John: “Feel content, there are two Greys and there are 4 or 5 little ones, they are younger ones, they are learning. The light is behind me, they are just tipping their heads and looking at us.” Mary: “Where are they taking you?” John: “They say it’s Orion.” John continues this discussion by asking the beings spontaneously, “How long did it take?”. The being replies with, ‘Three days’. At the session John questions the information by saying, “But that’s ridiculous there is no time, it’s like it’s sewn up time, they go into our time.” The journey continues for John, “They take us to a place that’s not nice, they show me its devastation, they say that they are showing us because it’s unpleasant and they don’t want us to end up like that place”.

in my garden.” Then John goes on to exclaim: “I can see orbs, whitey gold and two smaller ones, they are here to make me feel warm, they are family! The big one is great nana, and the other nanna’s dad, (grandfather) and granddad’s brother. They are here to make me feel comfortable..to reassure me.”

they can’t have it. I am not scared now, they are just new souls. They are not going to harm me. They have a dark energy, because they are just starting, just empty, they are not allowed to scare you, just not allowed to come near you, and can’t have your energy, you need the light to do your job.”

I asked him how he knew what the ‘orbs of light’ were. John said, he just knew. I asked him why they are there with him. He replied, they had come with the Grey’s to support him, to make him feel comfortable, so he wouldn’t be frightened. John then said that when the ‘Grey’s left with the ‘orbs of light’, they went onto the space craft too!

After this regression, John shared with me some thoughts on the process of hypnosis:

Later in the regression I ask John why they have been ‘picked up’ this time. John: “To kick start us.” Mary: “Why are they interested in you?” John: “I’ve got a job to do…………………..Change the world.” Mary: “How?” John: “I don’t know, I’ll know when I am ready. I am just being educated. The world’s going to change in Dec..” Mary: “Dec?” John: “Dec 2012.” Mary: “Have you any more questions?” John: “Why me?........Oh, I chose to do it, I volunteered to come back, I chose to do this. The two Grey’s, they are still with me, they say, stay on track, I have been here 27 times before.” One of the issues for John was his fear of his encounters. He wanted to understand the origin of his fear. It began in another encounter. He said: “The ‘Grey beings’ arrived when I was

12

John: “They do not mean to frighten us.” John continued to explain that the Greys returned to reassure him, because some ‘robotic’ looking beings had arrived to investigate him in a triangular craft. He told me they looked like the ET image that he saw in the crop circle, referring to one with an Alien face from the 2002 Crop Circle season. John said, after the Grey’s left him, these beings arrived. He said: “They scared the hell out of me. But, they are ‘starters,’ just starting the cycle, they are ‘new souls.’ They have no emotion, they try to get to you because they want to share your experience. But

“I am not making it up, it feels like it’s coming from somewhere else. Amazing, I remember everything, and it’s comforting to know what frightened me was just new souls, you are just scared because it’s unknown to you, but there is no need to be scared. I felt sorry for them, the reason I was scared was the atmosphere around them, fresh brand new souls, no karma, they have no experience, empty souls. We are more ‘full souls’.” From a 15 year old boy, this information is astounding. It had an impact upon me because it discussed concepts quite unfamiliar to his conscious mind. Such as the number of his human incarnations, his role on this planet with a ‘job to do’. The encounter with his whole family, he said was to ‘kick start’ them. The accounts of souls newly formed, trying to access him, and causing him fear, mainly because he didn’t understand, but realizing that they did not want to cause harm, just curious. This account through hypnosis provided not only answers and understanding and for John, it released his fear, just as it had for his grandmother. But, it also changed how they understood themselves and their encounters forever. At this point I would just like to clarify that there may be some link with the mystery of the ‘orbs’ (not to be confused with dust particles), which have become so prevalent on digital pictures. These orbs, all colors and shapes and sizes, have appeared in photographs in sacred sites and after people meditate. Some individuals are able to see these amazing orbs with normal eyesight, and

ufO encounter


can tell you where to point the camera. Orbs have also been filmed moving, these can be seen in the DVD ‘Orbs the Veil is Lifting” which explores the Orb phenomenon, as does The Orb Project, a scientific study by Miceal Ledworth LLD and Klaus Heinemann PhD. They do seem to interact with the individual and the camera, to show some sentiency. I personally have taken many different colored orbs and have even mentally requested a blue one to appear, it did. But for those that have investigated this phenomenon, a suggestion that some could be ‘interdimensional intelligences, or spirits. It is just possible that the camera with its ability to access a broader spectrum of light could be showing us how we manifest in the soul state. The Aborigines, for example call the ‘min min’ lights, the souls of their ancestors. Maybe the camera is showing us the same thing. Josh, an Experiencer from Western Australia, had this to say of his astral encounter on an extraterrestrial craft from a soul perspective. “I astrally visited the large ship with many other souls, there were a huge variety of beings, they were playful and incredibly wise, and were able to shift their form at will, from a humanoid shape to a ribbon of light..as I saw them they seem to be composed of effervescent bubbles of energy.” Helen Sanderson lives in the UK, and is about to have a book on her experiences published. Recently she wrote to me after reading about Suzanne’s account and told me of her daughter, Fay. “My daughter was 14, when she told me for the first time she was an abductee, and came out with the most shocking discourse on her experiences. She said before she was born, the ETs separated her embryo from my body on several occasions, in order to make adjustments that would allow her to live as easily on the craft as down here. They do this by separating the soul from the body by means of spinning the merkabah layers (rings) around our body in different directions and at different speeds, then separating the Soul from the body. This is what happens in a lot of cases of abduction: the soul is taken and the body left behind, but when they are reintroduced the soul ‘remembers’ its handling/tweaking and displays the memory of this on the body in the shape of bruises etc. At the same time, she also told me the ET’s taught her telepathy when she was 18 months old,

which is why she doesn’t speak much she just finds it easier.” Hayley, who reflects much of what I have heard from those I call, ‘New Humans’. Hayley says, “I kept getting messages that they were close … …….that I was totally safe, because they loved me. ………species shift, were the words……..by altering me and others, the shift would move like a wave through our species……. Some kind of inner connection we all share……..it made me feel like I had found God.” Janet E. Colli Phd. 2004 Sacred Encounters page 68 Why are we so important to the extraterrestrial intelligences? A complex extraterrestrial program, genetic links, multilevel educational programs, coupled with soul interaction, is not congruent with a subversive agenda. Even to my limited human logic, that is nonsensical. Extraterrestrials have technology to take us out in a nanosecond if that was their desire. No, these Encounters suggest a far different hypothesis, something far more profound, and the reward is transformation of consciousness. “Things are only impossible until they’re not! Dr Michael Wolf: Heaven, page 43

If we can release many of the judgments and human fears that color our understanding, it allows us the freedom to explore, and examine possibilities, such as the true nature of human reality. Quantum physicist’s hypothesis that the Universe is holographic in nature and everything is connected within this matrix..

Trauma originated from the Military pseudo abductions (MILAB) Dr Helmet Lammer, author of MILAB and Dr Steven Greer (CSETI) both suggest ‘traumatic’ military orchestrated pseudo abductions could be as high as 80%. Sadly, MILAB abductions are an aspect of the phenomenon, little known to most of the public. Many researchers are unaware or dismiss the possibility of MILAB abductions, although research indicates it is one of the main origins of trauma.

Human orchestrated ‘Abductions,’ are deliberately orchestrated to mislead the individuals into believing they are extraterrestrial in origin. MILABs programs use these abductions to gain information about extraterrestrial programs by interrogating the Experiencers. They mislead Experiencers into believing they are having a real extraterrestrial encounter. The individual is terrorized, occasionally raped; suffer emotional, psychological abuse, drugging and mind control. Some researchers are unaware of MILAB abductions, and interpret these abductions as a ‘real’ extraterrestrial encounter, or for reasons of their own, ignore data suggestive of it. Dr Lammer, states a number of high profile researchers do not acknowledge this aspect of the phenomenon despite having such data on files. As an Australian Researcher I believe that the incidence of MILAB abductions is less prevalent in Australia. I have only come across a small percentage which indicates possible MILAB interference.

SCIENTIST EXPLAINS WEIRD SHINY THING ON MARS http://www.universetoday.com/99890/ scientist-explains-the-weird-shiny-thingon-mars/

As previously reported, images from the Curiosity rover showed what looked like a piece of shiny metal sticking out from a rock. Some of our readers suggested that it might be a handle or knob of some kind.

It's a knob, yes, says Ronald Sletten from the Mars Science Laboratory team, but a completely natural formation. Sletten, from the University of Washington, explained that, not surprisingly, it is actually a part of the rock that is different - harder and more resistant to erosion - than the rest of the rock it's embedded in. On Earth, as on Mars, "often you can see knobs or projections on surfaces eroded by the wind, particularly when a harder, less erodible rock is on top," Sletten said, via an email to Universe Today from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory media relations office. "The rock on top of the projection is likely more resistant to wind erosion and protects the underlying rock from being eroded." As far as why it appears shiny, Sletten said, "The shiny surface suggests that this rock has a fine grain and is relatively hard. Hard, fine grained rocks can be polished by the wind to form very smooth surfaces."

It also may be shiny because it is windblasted and therefore dust-free, Sletten said, "while the surfaces not directly being eroded by wind may have a fine layer of reddish dust or rockweathering rind. The sandblasted surfaces may reveal the inherent rock color and texture." He added that the object is an interesting study in how wind and the natural elements cause erosion and other effects on various types of rocks. In looking at a zoomed-in close-up of the "knob" or protuberance from the rock, Sletten said, "This knob has a different type of rock on the end of the projection. This rock may vary in composition or the rock grain size may be smaller." So, this weird shiny thing on Mars is nothing too out of the ordinary - not a door handle, hood ornament or not even Richard Hoagland's bicycle, as was suggested by readers.

The Federal Aviation Administration is cautious about opening the skies to unmanned vehicles -- so much so that Congress and the Obama administration ordered it to ease up on restrictions by 2015. But not all spy robots fly. DHS is also developing robots that resemble fish, and deploys tunnelbots deep into drug-smuggling tunnels along the border. Unarmed Predator surveillance drones inside the United States have had a rocky history. The Department of Homeland Security's sub-agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), has flown them off-and-on along the U.S.-Mexico border since 2004. Flights were suspended in 2006 after one of them crashed in Arizona, and drone flights were suspended again in 2010 after a Predator lost communications with its operators. At one point, drone boosters in Congress allocated funding for more drones than CBP had people to fly them. How things have changed. In the past two years, DHS expanded Predator

It's been 10 years since the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) started up operations. During that decade, DHS has moved to the forefront of funding and deploying the robots and drones that could be coming soon to a neighborhood near you. DHS funds research and development for surveillance robots. It provides grant money by the hundreds of thousands to police agencies to buy their own. And sometimes it's bought and deployed robots -- for their skies, the ground and the waters -- of its own, usually concentrated along the border. It's not clear how many of those robot police operate, and law enforcement isn't by any means the only domestic market for the 'bots. But the trend lines point toward more robotic spy tools for

flights into the Caribbean to hunt for drug traffickers, and has taken to using the drones in an ad-hoc program to help out local police agencies, such as during a June 2011 standoff between SWAT officers and alleged cattle rustlers in Washington state. The drones have been used more broadly than that, reportedly assisting in police investigations from the Midwest to Texas. DHS has also gotten around to expanding its drone fleet. In November, DHS was revealed to be planning to expand its inventory of 10 Predators to 24, and is constructing a testing ground for small surveillance drones at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. But in the years to come, the Predator is likely to have a numerically more marginal role as more law enforcement agencies join the drone bandwagon -it's exceedingly likely the Predator will remain an exclusive item for the federal government. That is, a federal government putting the machines to work snooping on domestic turf.

"We used it to look for insurgent firing points and check out exposed areas of the ground before crossing, which is a real asset," said Sgt.

The military said Sunday that the toylike Hornet is capable of flying even in windy conditions. It said the Hornet was developed by Norway's Prox Dynamics AS as part of a 20 million-pound ($31 million) contract for 160 units with southern England's Marlborough Communications Ltd.

Drones of all shapes and sizes have rapidly become a mainstay of U.S., British and other nations' military operations around the world.

ROBOT HEDGEHOGS ON PHOBOS http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ article-2265984/Robot-hedgehogs-MarsThe-bizarre-mission-send-spiked-beachball-sized-probes-red-planets-moon.html

Beach ball sized spiked rovers could soon be rolling around the surface of Phobos, if a groundbreaking new design for rolling rovers if given the go-ahead. Stanford researchers, in collaboration with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have designed the 'hedgehog' probes. Dropped from a mothership, each rover would hop, tumble and bound across the cratered, lopsided moon, relaying information about its origins, as well as its soil and other surface materials. The rovers would drop from a mother spaceship, and then be able to 'hop'

across the surface, before tumbling to their final locations and take measurements from the surface. An entire mission would last two to three years, and just flying to Phobos would take the Surveyor about two years. The mothership would release each of the five or six hedgehogs several days apart, allowing scientists enough time to decide where to release the next hedgehog.

Developed by Marco Pavone, an assistant professor in Stanford's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the system consists of a mother spacecraft, known as the Phobos Surveyor, and the rovers it houses, called 'hedgehogs'. 'It's a piece of technology that's needed before any more expensive type of exploration is considered,' Pavone said 'Before sampling we need to know where to land. We need to deploy rovers to acquire info about the surface.' The hedgehogs do not have wheels, as do the current Mars rovers. Instead they rely on three rotating discs enclosed within each hedgehog, with each disc pointing in a different direction. The rover is controlled via three flywheels, and is powered by solar panels on its exterior A prototype of the hedgehog the team has already built. they plan to test future versions on parabolic flights to simulate zero gravity YETI THEME PARK http://twocrowsparanormal.wordpress.com/ 2013/01/22/yeti-theme-park/

Sunny Siberia is adding a new attraction. A Yeti theme park. Yes, you read that right, a theme park devoted to the legendary Yeti. Hoping to cash in on interest in the search for the beast, officials have dedicated a portion of land and launched plans to construct a park centered on the Yeti. Initial plans

15


for the park include a hotel and a themed children's playground, all built at the Sheregesh ski resort resting in the Shoria Mountian area. The region claims to have a high number of Yeti sightings and officials hope the park will draw additional tourists to the area. The Shoria Mountain area is in southern Siberia in the Kemerovo region. The region's governor is behind the plans for the park and has added to the excitement by offering a one million rouble reward to anyone who can capture a Yeti. The governor stated: "I'll pay a million to anyone who will find the Yeti and bring it to see me. I'll sit down with him, chat and have a cup of tea." One million roubles by the way, works out to about $33,000 in US currency. Despite lack of a physical specimen, locals have long believed that the Yeti is a real creature though opinions vary as to its origins. The brainchild behind the park, Sheregesh adminstrator Igor Idimeshev has a unique idea to explain the Yeti. "I've seen this creature several times", he stated. "I think it is most likely of extraterrestrial origin, not from this world. The Yeti might suddenly disappear and re-materialize. Another extraordinary thing is that Yeti's hair is luminous at night, and also that the Yeti can walk on water." In an interview with the Siberian Times, Idimeshev spoke further about the elusive creature. He told the paper: "I've met these creatures several times here in Tashtagol district and also in the area where I was born in the village of Toz close to Zelenaya Mountain. I saw it several times before I moved here to Sheregesh. Each time I was on my own, I was hunting. The only person I ever told everything in detail to was my mother - and she taught me to keep it to myself." Idimeshev says that the people of Shoria refer to the creatures as "Big Men" and that everyone in the region is aware of their existence. Believing it unlucky to speak too much about the encounters, the Big Men are only mentioned in conversation briefly. "Every man around here sees him when he hunts. The feeling is one of fear. It is a fear that you cannot explain rationally. You feel yourself very scared and tense at the same time. One of the closest comparisons is the feeling of looking into a wolf's eyes. If you've ever seen

16

them, I mean a wild wolf, not a caged animal, you remember a feeling of them being something very unusual, alien. Like with a wolf, you can see a Yeti's eyes from a distance of some 100-150 meters. They are quite hypnotizing. And when I saw the Yeti's eyes my only thought was that they are not from Earth, they are clearly of an extraterrestrial nature. To me, the Yeti is an extraterrestrial creature. I believe that it is like a controller to look over things here on Earth."

Pressed about the physical traits of Yeti, Idimeshev offered this: "I would not be able to give an estimate of the Yeti's size. It certainly looked big. Bigger than a human. I didn't go to have a look at his footprints, or check for any other material proof of his existence. Believe me, this is not what you want to do right after seeing it. You feel scared. We are building the Yeti Park now, and of course there will be a chance for people who come here to see the creature. For me having Yetis here means something much more than the simple tourist attraction." Idimeshev believes that the Yeti is important to the region. He said that further plans for the theme park include a museum to display Yeti related materials and a conference space for symposiums dedicated to the search for the creature. There have been numerous expeditions over the years to search for proof of the Yeti. Footprints have been discovered and hair samples collected. So far though, no definitive proof has been offered and results of DNA testing on the hair have not been forthcoming. Sightings of the creature continue, last September, three separate sightings were reported. Perhaps that number will start to rise as the tourists flock to Siberia.

300-MILLIONYEAR300-MILLION-Y OLD UFO TOOTHWHEEL FOUND IN RUSSIA http://english.ruvr.ru/2013_01_19/300million-year-old-UFO-tooth-wheel-foundin-Russian-city-of-Vladivostok/

Lighting a fire during a cold winter evening a resident of Vladivostok found a rail-shaped metal detail which was pressed in one of the pieces of coal that the man used to heat his home. Mesmerized by his discovery, the responsible citizen decided to seek help from the scientists of Primorye region. After the metal object was studied by leading experts the man was shocked to learn about the assumed age of his discovery. The metal detail was supposedly 300 million years old and yet the scientists suggest that it was not created by nature but was rather manufactured by someone.The question of who might have made an aluminum gear in the dawn of time remains unanswered. Nowadays, finding a strange artifact in coal is a relatively frequent occurrence. The first discovery of this sort was made in 1851 when the workers in one of the Massachusetts mines extracted a zinc silver-incrusted vase from a block of unmined coal which dated all the way back to the Cambrian era which was approximately 500 million years ago. Sixty one years later, American scientists from Oklahoma discovered an iron pot which was pressed into a piece of coal aged 312 million years old. Then, in 1974, an aluminum assembly part of unknown origin was found in a sandstone quarry in Romania. Reminiscent of a hammer or a support leg of a spacecraft "Apollo", the piece

dated back to the Jurassic era and could not have been manufactured by a human. All of these discoveries not only puzzled the experts but also undermined the most fundamental doctrines of modern science. The metal detail which was recently found by Vladivostok resident is yet another discovery which perplexed the scientists. The coal in which the metal object was pressed was delivered to Primorye from Chernogorodskiy mines of Khakasia region. Knowing that the coal deposits of this region date 300 million years back, Russian experts inferred that the metal detail found in these deposits must be an age-mate of the coal.

When geologists broke the piece of coal in which the metal object was pressed into and spot-treated in with special chemical agents, it turned out that the metal detail was unusually light and soft. No more than seven centimeters long, the object was found to be composed of 98 percent aluminum and 2 percent magnesium. On the one hand, such an alloy stalled the scientists because nearly pure aluminum is very rarely found in nature. Thus, the detail

was most definitely created artificially. On the other hand, however, when it became clear that the object was made from aluminum-magnesium alloy the experts quickly found an answer to the question of how a metal detail could withstand the ravages of time so well. The scientists explained that pure aluminum is increasingly prone to oxidization which contributes to the creation of a special layer protecting it from further corrosion. As a result, the metal detail made 98 percent from aluminum can endure not only high pressure but also heat and other severe natural conditions. Another question that interests Russian scientists is whether the aluminum alloy is of Earthly origin. It is known from the study of meteorites that there exists extraterrestrial aluminum-26 which subsequently breaks down to magnesium-26. The presence of 2 percent of magnesium in the alloy might well point to the alien origin of the aluminum detail. Nonetheless, further testing is needed to confirm this hypothesis. The last property of the object that puzzled the scientists was its distinctive shape which was reminiscent of a modern tooth-wheel. It is hard to imagine that an object could take regular shape of a tooth-wheel with six identical 'teeth' naturally. Moreover, the intervals between the 'teeth' of the gear are curiously large in relation to the size of the 'teeth' themselves which might mean that the detail was a part of a complicated mechanism. Nowadays, such 'spare parts' are used in construction of microscopes and other mechanical appliances. This poses yet another unanswerable question to the modern scientists: how can the metal tooth-wheel be 300 million years old if the regular-shaped 'wheel' itself was created by man millions of years later. After the discovery came public, conspirators were quick to dub it 'a UFO tooth-wheel'. Russian scientists, however, do not jump to conclusions and will run further tests to learn more about the strange artifact.

Is 2013 the year we finally make contact with our brothers from beyond the stars? One Youtube user certainly seems to think it's a possibility. The user, danchek2013, has uploaded a video he

claims shows footage of at least one mysterious object zipping about over the surface of the moon. One of the 'craft' emerges from the shadowy landscape of the moon's surface and then seemingly accelerates over the craters, before changing direction at breakneck speed and heading towards the bottom of the screen.

So are they faraway birds? Dust motes? Shooting stars? Or an advanced interstellar craft from an advanced civilization that has travelled from another galaxy to observe our planet? Opinion is divided among the comments on the video. Some believe the behaviour of the craft means it cannot be a human plane or flying creature UFO SIGHTINGS AT INTERNATIONAL SP ACE ST ATION SPACE STA ON THE RISE http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/ 01/13/ufos-at-international-spacestation_n_2450625.html

As 2012 ended and 2013 began, numerous UFOs were reported around the country -- nothing earthshattering there -- but what about alleged unidentified objects seen in space near the International Space Station (or ISS), a couple of hundred miles above Earth? Videos have cropped up on YouTube showing images taken by NASA cameras of objects of different shapes, some moving very slowly, others rapidly hurtling through space. What, exactly, are we looking at here? Alien spacecraft dropping by for a visit with the ISS? Reflections from ISS windows? Meteors? Or various types of orbiting or fast moving spacecraftgenerated debris?

On Christmas Day, YouTube poster Streetcap1 recorded video of a silvery object, moving slowly near the curvature of Earth. At :46 into the following video, the object can be seen in faraway perspective. Streetcap1 also recorded the following two objects -one circular, the other disc-shaped -outside the ISS on New Year's Day. Could it be a mere window reflection?

"It's good to keep scanning space video for possible anomalies and reporting them quickly," Oberg said. "The reason is, there is always a real chance that it could be a genuine anomaly, either a spacecraft malfunction or other threat, expected or unexpected. In the past, missions have failed because a clue that should have been seen out the window was overlooked."

Watchful Moscow residents with their eyes to the sky were given an interesting view on Christmas Eve, as a huge "celestial spiral" closely resembling a strand of DNA

Oberg doesn't give much credence to any speculation that unidentified flying objects near the ISS originate from an alien civilization. But he also feels it's important for people to keep looking at camera feeds which may result in visual information that can help prevent potential technical problems for the ISS.

We're not saying it was aliens, but well.. you know. PENT AGON PENTAGON WORKING ON UFOSTYLE AIRSHIP http://www.dvice.com/archives/2013/ 01/pentagon-workin-1.php

The sci-fi TV show Fringe often shows us an alternate, more technologically advanced version of Earth where airships are, for some reason, the norm. Now reality is mirroring fiction as a new project being developed in conjunction with the Pentagon is looking to bring airships back from their spotty past and into the future. Developed by Aeroscraft, the 230-footlong prototype airship called the Pelican is designed to lift up to 10 tons of cargo across long distances, using a fraction of the fuel needed by an airplane. The airship, which, interestingly, looks a lot like a flying saucer, has been in the works for several years under the guidance of the Pentagon's Rapid Reaction Technology Office. In addition to cargo missions, the Pentagon also envisions the airship as a potential tool for surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

"Spacecraft-generated 'dandruff' has been seen since the very first human spaceflights, when the non-intuitive relative motions and impossible-tojudge distances in the earthly environment of outer space tricked observers into misinterpreting visual stimuli," according to James Oberg, a former space engineer who specialized in NASA space shuttle operations and is currently the NBC News Space Consultant. "It shouldn't be surprising that only half a century later, most folks watching YouTube videos are still totally flummoxed by what they understandably and excusably can't comprehend," Oberg told The Huffington Post in an email.

appeared over the city. In a batch of photos posted to the photo sharing session of Russian website Netall.ru, one of the strangest cloud formations ever is detailed in a handful of images snapped around a 20 mile stretch of the city. As you can imagine, this has stirred up some interesting conversation as to what could be the cause of such an event. As of now, sky-savvy internet sleuths believe the strange clouds were caused by contrails, or thin artificial cloud formations caused by the water exhaust

The current prototype is much smaller than the final version of the airship the company plans to build which will be 450-feet long and have the ability to carry up to 66 tons of cargo.
