Once again Georgia became the center of the paranormal activity, ufologist Irakly Shonia said on the sidelines of the UFO Research Association meeting entitled "Man and Environment".
According to him, the bursts of the paranormal activity occur in Georgia every three decades. "30 years ago, there was a boom of unidentified flying objects, all sorts of paranormal phenomena in Georgia. it's interesting that now, after 30 years, this cycle starts again and the anomalous phenomena boom begins,” Sputnik-Georgia quotes him as saying.

THE 'White Tic Tac UFO' caused a stir when it was shown in front of US Government officials
UFO spotters were convinced this image proved the existence of alien life.
The still image of a 'White Tic Tac UFO' caused a stir when it was shown in front of US Government officials and military leaders.
The Tic Tac UFO made news headlines after being shown to US military bosses as 'proof of alien life'
They had been brought together by Blink 182 singer Tom DeLonge for his new To The Stars alien research group - and stared in wonder as the oblong white image flashed up on a giant screen in October last year.
Captured on camera by the US Navy, the 'Nimitz UFO' seemed to "defy the laws of physics" in the way it moved.
To The Stars Academy member Chris Mellon presented it with the words: "Clearly this is not a US experimental aircraft, but whose is it?
"This story may sound like a sci-fi movie, but it is a true story."
The picture was even shown on US news channels.
The picture was shown to Government officials by Blink 182 singer Tom DeLonge for his new To The Stars alien research group
But a Manchester based UFO sleuth, Steve Mara, claims the unusual shape was little more than a helium party balloon in the shape of a number one
But the truth IS out there...in Eccles, Manchester.
A report by amateur UFO hunter called Steve Mara claims the picture is not of an alien craft, which has travelled light years across the universe to make contact with humans on Earth - but a helium party balloon in the shape of the number one.
He posted his bubble bursting theory on his own UFO blog Rense.com.
Mr Mara told the Express: "Truth of the matter is... it was taken in Eccles, Manchester and I investigated the case.
"Likelihood... it was a novelty balloon, a number 'one'.
"Someone manipulated the photo a little by increasing its brightness."
The image had made its way onto a UFO forum referenced in the To The Stars presentation
Mick West, admin for theory busting website Metabunk, said: "I think the use of that image was a mistake.
It would be quite exciting to listen to answers about aliens and UFOs from somebody who had really flown to space and had spent some time in Cosmos. When NASA astronaut Col. Jack Fischer was asked about aliens and UFOs and what other astronauts think about the extraterrestrial life and its existence, Fischer answer was quite simple but interesting. He said that he had not seen any aliens or UFOs yet. He said that he had the wish of encountering aliens or UFOs and if he would have managed to do so, then he would have taken photos. I haven’t! I wish I had. If I had, I would’ve taken pictures; I’d be rich, but I haven’t yet,” said Fischer.
But Fischer believes that there might be other worlds in the universe where there is possibility of the presence of alien life. According to him, as there are innumerable numbers of stars in the Universe, it should not be confirmed that our Earth is the only bearer of life. Fisher stated, “I definitely believe that there are others out there because when you see how many stars there are you can’t possibly think we’re the only ones.”
As Fisher has said that he believes that there is chance of the presence of alien life and UFOs in other stars systems, it can be said that like him many more astronauts might have the same belief about aliens. Astronaut Fisher told all these things at the NASA Glenn Research Centre where he addressed hundreds of people and answered many questions related to space, Mars mission as well as aliens.
When asked about his take on missions to Mars, Fischer said that astronauts will soon travel to Mars and that the path to the Red Planet runs right through Cleveland. He said that he is eagerly waiting to see the summer testing of NASA’s new and most highly advanced Orion spacecraft which will be sent to Mars in the upcoming days. Fisher has spent four and a half months in the International Space Station and came back to earth in the month of September last year.
A FORMER US Navy pilot, whose UFO sighting was investigated by a top-secret Pentagon team, has said the phenomenon should continue to be probed in case it poses a "War of the Worlds" style threat to Earth.
David Fravor from Toledo, Ohio, was flying a F/A-18F super hornet off the coast of San Diego while the US Navy tracked mysterious UFOs for two weeks in November 2004.
It was before a bizarre encounter with one of the objects that was later investigated by a multi-million dollar top secret government program looking at mysterious aerial threats.
Details of the Department of Defense Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification £16.5million secretive programme investigating the threat posed by UFOs, and Mr Fravor's case, were revealed last month.
Cmdr Fravor and Lt Cmdr Jim Slaight were two pilots each in an F/A-18F super hornet on a routine training mission 100 miles out over the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego when it happened.
They were with the USS Princeton guided missile cruiser and SS Nimitz supercarrier at the time.
Mr Fravor said it was at the end of a two-week period when the Princeton had been tracking mysterious "Tic Tac-shaped" aircraft that appeared suddenly at 80,000 feet, before shooting down towards the ocean.
They stopped at 20,000 feet and appeared to hover, before dropping off range or heading back upwards.
Speaking to Bostonglobe.com about the implications of the case, known as the Nimitz UFO, Mr Fravor said:“I think the story needs to be told. We need to stop making jokes and start paying attention to it.
“This is not a US problem. This is a global issue. Why aren’t we investigating these things?
"If it’s like ET, then it’s all good. If it’s like ‘War of the Worlds’ or ‘Independence Day,’ then not so much.”
Mr Fravor warned his experience with the UFO had shown him whatever was controlling it had much more superior technology.
He said: "Our technology is way, way behind. I know what I saw, oh yeah it reacted to us."
According to a report from the New York Times, the US Government-funded programme investigated reports of UFOs between 2007 and 2012, including the mysterious Nimitz case of November 2004.
Mr Fravor previously said he looked down to the water and saw waves breaking over an object below the surface.
Hovering about 50 feet above this was a white UFO, about 40 feet long and oval.
Mr Fravor said: "The craft was jumping around erratically, staying over the wave disturbance but not moving in any specific direction."
The water appeared below as if it were boiling.
He launched a "circular descent" to look more closely, and it started to fly up to meet them.
Mr Fravor said: "It accelerated like nothing I’ve ever seen."
The Government-funded investigation into reports of UFOs ran between 2007 and 2012 under military intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, on the fifth floor of the Pentagon’s C Ring.
He is now part of the To The Stars Academy, set up by former Blink 182 singer Tom DeLong, to research UFOs.
Chris Mellon, who served for almost 20 years in the US federal government in a series of national security positions roles under presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush, is also part of the academy.
He agrees more needs to be done to understand the UFO threat.
Referring to the Nimitz encounter, he said: "The pilot’s capture gun camera footage and infrared imagery of the object.
"They are outmatched by a technology they’ve never seen.
"The chairman of the Armed Services Committee and his counterparts and other congressional oversight committees can easily request a briefing to confirm the veracity of this story and the existence of other events of a similar nature.
"If the oversight committees have not already been briefed on this event and others like it they clearly should be.
"How else can they adequately assess threats to our forces ad our military requirements?
