Newly uncovered video clearly shows unknown objects 'buzzing' Shuttle Atlantis

Orbs move around the shuttle, appearing to be in formation

Ground control dismiss them as 'reflections on the camera lens'

To the ground control commentator on Nasa’s live public feed, they’re merely ‘reflections on the camera lens’ – but the crew of the Space Shuttle Atlantis don’t sound so convinced.

A spooky YouTube video appears to show three ‘orbs’ moving slowly around the Atlantis, as it floats in orbit during the final shuttle mission last July.

The footage, which is a segment of the feed, begins with one of the astronauts describing to ground control what they’re seeing.

Does space junk fly in formation? Three 'orbs' were seen by Shuttle Atlantis crew members and footage of the objects has appeared on YouTube

The YouTube footage begins with the camera looking at the Atlantis cargo bay - some things soon take a turn for the strange

The unnamed crew member says: ‘It’s a structure that’s definitely not rigid. Doesn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen on the outside of the Shuttle, that’s for sure.’

He describes how the object ‘quickly moved to the nose of the orbiter, moving away at least 100 feet’.

For a few minutes nothing of note happens, but then at 4.45 the camera looks beyond the shuttle and focusses on three orbs that appear to be hovering in a triangular formation nearby.

The ground control commentator immediately passes them off as ‘reflections in the camera lens’ – but the shuttle crew members seem far less dismissive, with one confirming that they’re seeing ‘three or four objects’ and asking: ‘Can you confirm it’s just the one that’s moving?’

Mystery: Ground control ask the Atlantis crew members what they're seeing

End of an era: Atlantis touched down at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida just before dawn on July 21, 2011, wrapping up the final mission of the 30-year space shuttle program

However, the footage, despite being mysterious, remains too indistinct for any conclusions to be drawn about whether E.T really was observing the final shuttle mission.

Many YouTube users who’ve studied it firmly believe the crew are looking at space junk.

However, could E.T have been zooming around Seoul, recently?

A mysterious round white object was filmed whizzing around a passenger plane above the capital of South Korea on April 7.

The clip, which has also been uploaded to YouTube (see below), begins with the ‘craft’ at the bottom of the screen, keeping pace with the passenger plane.

But then it speeds up and rises in altitude before zipping off out of shot, just as the startled person filming it tries to zoom in for a closer look.

When the UFO accelerates he can be heard making some sort of exclamation, as if trying to draw someone’s attention to it.

The video was uploaded by YouTube user ‘Crazybreakingnews’, who commented: ‘It looks a little bit strange and not really similar to the other videos. If it's really real and not a fake, it looks like a kind of military drone.’

Several YouTube users are convinced it’s a UFO of some sort, but others remain sceptical.

Psued0Name said: ‘When stabilised, it is easy to see what is going on with the video.

‘The edges of the UFO are not blurred like all of the other background objects, it seems like a separate effect from the background, and in fact you can see edge noise on the shape of the UFO indicating it's a fake.

‘It doesn't even look right if you start to look at it hard, especially slowed down frame by frame.’

User vicariousjojoe agreed, writing: ‘People, you should know by now what is fake and what's not. You can always tell by the way the camera moves and zooms.’

Possible UFO activity has recently been sighted much closer to home, with a star-gazer filming intriguing footage of a glowing UFO, which he says he spotted hovering over the Thames Estuary in February.

The man, identified only as Space999dude, recorded the phenomenon as he drove past the river at night, he said.

The mysterious, oval aircraft can be seen suspended in the air displaying several amber-gold lights of varying sizes.

Wikileaks UFO Analyzed: What Is It? (Video)

By Tom Rose

A UFO video released by Wikileaks has been analyzed and enhanced, revealing never before seen details. It still doesn't really answer the question: What is it?

The video is reviewed by the prolific paranormal researcher AmericanBunker who has many YouTube videos analyzing supposedly supernatural events. While she doesn't draw any definite conclusions about what's on this Wikileaks release, her powerful video analyzing tools open some definite possibilities.

The original, unenhanced video opens the segment showing what looks like a "mothership" type craft blossoming out to release several smaller craft into the night sky over a populous, unidentified city. A towering crane is nearby, shrouded in darkness, but silhouetted by the dimly lit horizon.

As she heightens the contrast between the objects, it seems to show that this film clip is actually two separate videos cleverly pieced together. It certainly explains a lot.

AmericanBunker never actually draws a conclusion, seeming to believe the video enhancements reinforce the opinion this is a real UFO. If not, then what is it? Here's the video:

NASA ISS Desktop Photo Confirms UFO Disclosure NOW

By Unexplainable.Net

Apparently the ISS computer's desktop background is UFO's flying in space. And that image happens to be the logo for a pdf file named: The Importance Of Disclosure. Really- Direct From NASA. Unarguable. Is this the proof we been waiting for?  Look closely at the image.

Here's a link to the full image (in case NASA takes it down). http://www.unexplainable.net/images/NASA-UFO.jpg

Now here is the official NASA link: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-13/hires/iss013e40000.jpg

As you can see- clearly there are UFO's on NASA's ISS Desktop. This is unarguable.

Now here is a cut in of what we believe the desktop image source is.

Now this image comes from a PDF file called :The Importance Of Disclosure.http://cdn.the2012scenario.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/The-Importance-of-Disclosure.pdf

Clearly the astronauts aboard the International Space Station are in support of disclosure. And there is no reason to doubt the existance of space visitors after seeing this with your own eyes.

Elevated exposure for MUFON?

  By Billy Cox

As the new point man for the Mutual UFO Network, David MacDonald likes to tout the numbers: 3,000 members in 39 countries, 947 of whom are field investigators. With those sorts of resources, one would expect the 43-year-old outfit to have an inside track on collecting UFO data in the USA.
But according to the Federal Aviation Administration’s Air Traffic Control manual, updated on Feb. 9, “Persons wanting to report UFO/unexplained phenomena activity should contact a UFO/unexplained reporting data collection center, such as Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) (voice: 1-877-979-7444 or e-mail: Reporting@baass.org), the National UFO Reporting Center, etc.”
MUFON = “etc.”
MacDonald, who succeeded Clifford Clift (of Colbert Report fame) as MUFON’s International Director in February, hopes to turn the visibility thing around in a big way. He recently hauled MUFON’s entire inventory — from 17 filing cabinets of reports, photos and tapes to an old Vanguard rocket engine — from its previous headquarters in Colorado to Ohio’s Lunken Airport, the municipal reliever for Cincinnati International. It took four men five hours to unload the stuff, some of which MacDonald hopes to showcase in the near future.

Ooh-la-LAAH! Sometimes you've just gotta take your eye off the ball/CREDIT: mp3million.com

At 65, MacDonald is a longtime pilot, and president/CEO of Flamingo Air Inc., which its website proclaims as “Cincinnati’s most outrageous airline.” That’s because, among other things, it offers hour-long “Mile High Club” flights in a Cherokee 6 that advertise chocolates, champagne, curtains, and “one very discreet pilot.”
Two months into the MUFON gig and MacDonald says everything’s coming up roses. The HQ staff is small — MacDonald and his wife, plus a third assistant — but they’ve managed to unscramble a slack records-keeping system, and having its logo on display at an airport doesn’t hurt.
“Hundreds of people see us now, and I’m not just talking local people either,” says MacDonald. “I’m amazed at the number of airport people who come up and say ‘Dave? I’ve been a member of MUFON for years.’”
MacDonald wants to promote MUFON’s commitment to professionalism, which covers not only a front-end screening for volunteer field-investigator applicants, but recurring tests for certification renewal. Not to mention continued public-records background checks, a fractious issue among some MUFON investigators a couple of years ago. MacDonald says it paid off:
“We weeded out a number of criminals and scam artists and at least one pedophile. Can you imagine sending a thief or a pedophile into someone’s house? I don’t even want to think about those liability issues.”
MacDonald also talks about more aggressive PR, press releases alerting media to new interesting cases, maybe even a year-in-review roundup. But what about the Bigelow outfit, where the FAA is steering public UFO queries? Robert Bigelow, the deep-pocketed hotel-chain tycoon hoping to cash in on space tourism, briefly financed MUFON’s research efforts a few years back before terminating the contract.
“We have little or no contact with Bigelow,” MacDonald says. “I don’t know what’s going on with that. MUFON and the FAA have not exactly been on the friendliest of terms over the years.”
Meanwhile, in an email reply to De Void, a Bigelow rep stated, “BAASS is still actively seeking reports of unidentified aerial phenomenon. This includes reports from the FAA, pilots, air traffic control personnel, as well as from other sources.” However, “Our policy does not allow us to provide any information on case numbers or investigations.”
De Void would rather think about Flamingo Air’s Mile-High Club …

Argentina Farmer Claims UFO Landed in Corn Field, Left 600 Meter Landing Strip

The website NeuvaRegion.com reported an Argentine farmer filed a complaint with the local cops a UFO (OVNI) landed in his cornfield leaving behind a 600 meter by 6-ft. swath of crushed corn plants. Six hundred meters equals 1968 ft..

Along with the damage witnesses who claimed they saw “a ship with strange lights and colors flying over the area”. The location of the alleged UFO landing, Pujanto, 42 kilometers west of Rosario.

(Google translation)

“Raul, a farmer aged 62, appeared before the Commissioner of the town of Santa Fe to perform the particular complaint, in principle by damage taken. The funny thing is that it is not clear who or what caused this evil. In fact, there was no theft of the crop or vehicle tracks were in place. Only the patch of flattened.
Neighbors said the area also witness a ship with strange lights and colors flying over the area, according to the journalist told Radio 2 Hector Lopez. These are people who were in the area of ??the cemetery (as if the note had no seasoning and color), at the entrance of the town on Route 33.
The incident occurred around 3 am and the mark left by the supposed UFO is about 600 meters by six feet wide.
The commissioner, Walter Freniche confirmed the complaint and told Radio 2 that was found crushed the field area. He noted that there was no theft or planting could be observed vehicle tracks, “but maybe the incident occurred four or five days ago and not seen.”
Freniche noted that “neighbors reported seeing lights” although none of them went to the branch. “The comment is, but have not come to testify,” he said, adding: “It’s a difficult case.”

Extraterrestrial life in Martian lava tubes?

Photos taken by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express spacecraft reveal rows of “pit-chains” lining the sides of volcanoes in the red planet’s Tharsis region. These pit-chains were likely caused by ancient volcanic activity. The ESA explains, “Lava streaming from a volcano solidifies on the surface, leaving a molten tube of lava running below. Once volcanic activity ceases, the tube empties, leaving behind a subterranean cavity.” Similar lava tubes were discovered last year on Earth’s moon by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

These pit-chambers could have also formed due to strains in the planet’s crust, or even as a result of groundwater leading to the collapse of surface rocks.

Scientists believe tubes like these could provide a safe environment for life. Jason Major of Universe Today explains, “Even though the surface of Mars can receive 250 times the radiation levels found on Earth, the layers of soil and rock surrounding the tubes can provide adequate protection for life, whether it be ancient Martian microbes or future explorers from Earth.”

UFOs and Mind Manipulation

By Nick Redfern

One of the most significant aspects of countless Contactee-driven encounters is the fact that the experiences at issue occurred in significantly altered states of mind, and while the Contactees were often situated in distinctly isolated locations. Let us examine the evidence. An early Contactee encounter that was brought to the attention of the FBI occurred in August 1947, and involved a “Mr. Jones of Los Angeles.”
According to Jones’ story, around 10.00 a.m. on the day at issue he had hiked into “the mountains” and was “laying on the ground” when he observed about one-half block away from him a large, silver, metal object that was greenish in color. Thereafter, Jones’ mind became dominated by thoughts relative to extraterrestrial concerns about our burgeoning atomic technology. This was a trend that was only set to continue.
Samuel Eaton Thompson’s tale – of a March 28, 1950 encounter with multiple aliens in the woods of Washington State – occurred after he fell tired, and was forced to rest for a while. And Truman Bethurum’s encounters with curvy Captain Aura Rhanes of the planet Clarion began after Bethurum decided to “take a little snooze” while parked on Mormon Mesa in the early hours of a 1952 morning.

Skeptically-minded souls might offer the opinion that Jones, Eaton and Bethurum merely fell asleep and experienced particularly vivid dreams of a UFO-like nature. Such a scenario is not impossible: hypnagogia is a term that was coined in the 1800s by a French scholar named Alfred Maury. However, it has a history that extends long before Maury came on the scene.
References to this strange condition can be found in the writings of the Greek philosopher, Aristotle; in the works of the English Elizabethan occultist, astrologer and herbalist Simon Forman; and in the written output of the Italian renaissance mathematician and physician, Gerolamo Cardano. So, with that said: precisely what is Hypnagogia?
Basically, it’s a term that describes the stage between wakefulness and sleep – a stage in the sleep process that may be dominated by a wide and infinitely varied body of sensory experiences. For example, those in hypnagogic states have reported hearing voices ranging from barely-audible whispers to wild screams.
Others have heard random snatches of speech – largely nonsensical, but occasionally containing unusual fictional names (not unlike some of those used by the Space-Brothers, it could be argued), and others have seen disembodied heads, or what appear to be fully-formed entities in their bedrooms. Humming, roaring, hissing, rushing and buzzing noises are also frequently reported by people experiencing hypnagogia.
It is not out of the question that some claims of Contactee-type encounters could have been due to Hypnagogia. After all, Truman Bethurum’s initial experience atop Mormon Mesa was initiated after he was groggily awoken by “what I can only describe as mumbling;” which is a classic facet of Hypnagogia. But, as is the case with so many aspects of the Contactee enigma, the matter is not so clear-cut.
It appears to be the case that the phenomenon that is responsible for many encounters of the Contactee kind has the ability to induce radically altered states of mind, perception and awareness, including hypnagogia.

It may do so to ensure that the witness perceives the phenomena in a fashion that accords with a pre-planned agenda based around communication, manipulation of the mind, and control of the audio-visual senses.
In other words, even if hypnagogia does play a role in the Contactee arena, it may be an induced role, rather than one that always occurs at purely at random and as a result of the internal complexities of the brain.
With that all said, however, what, exactly, is the nature of the phenomenon that seems to affect and alter our state of mind and perception with such apparent ease? That is the paramount question for which we still require a definitive answer, unfortunately…

USO's Off Californian Coast

Mufon Case Number: 37146

Date Submitted: 2012-04-05

Date of Event: 2012-03-14

Location of Event:  Pacifica, CA US

This event was observed by a large group of witnesses including a highly credible coworker that wishes to remain anonymous. While driving the coastal highway near the town of Pacifica California, this individual observed two very large, glowing objects in the ocean and roughly ¾ mile from the coastline. The evening sky, at approximately 6:30pm, was 100% overcast with no direct sunlight anywhere in sight. The glowing objects appeared as sharp ovals from this distance. But it was clear that the actual shapes were discs and were submerged in the ocean at an unknown depth. A group of witnessed developed as vehicles stopped to see. The observers shared their thoughts, and agreed that the two objects were in fact submerged and moving with indistinct patterns, but not in a way that resembled a worldly vehicle such as a submarine. The group also concluded that sunlight could not be the cause because there were no breaks in the dense cloud cover. Furthermore, the lights continued to project into the late evening until about 9pm, well past sundown. At some juncture during the event, a passing ship (perhaps a Coast Guard vessel) approached the objects in an attempt to investigate. The ship then quickly veered away from the objects in an apparent evasive maneuver to avoid confrontation. At this juncture, most of the witnesses were in fear of their safety and left the scene.
