Conference regarding Dulce Underground Alien Base ends 3.30.09

A very detailed article on a conference held in the tiny northern New Mexican town on the contentious subject of the supposed underground Alien Base in Dulce.

Yesterday a conference was held in the small town of Dulce, New Mexico to discuss evidence of an underground extraterrestrial base at the nearby Archuleta Mesa. Organized by Norio Hayakawa, a retired funeral director now living in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, The Dulce Base: Fact or Fiction Conference brought together local and outside speakers with knowledge of events at Dulce.

The Dulce Underground Base is one of the most controversial subjects in UFOlogy, and typically provokes fierce debate among researchers, especially as this topic links Cattle Mutilations, the Grey Agenda, underground bases, and a US military/Alien consiratorial partnership all together!

Here are some other useful links on the Dulce question:

• some bio material on Wolf and a lot of what he's said, verbatim
• Long but detailed article concerning the Dulce question, with some great evidence
  
• Richard Boylan reports some news regarding Wolf's purported efforts to hasten Disclosure
  
• A giant treatise about the Dulce Base and related events and issues
  
• some competing versions of the Dulce story from other sources
  
• Richard Boylan interviews Mike Wolf
  

 

I've been meaning to make the drive up to Dulce for years, and if I'd heard about this conference before it was over, I would have tried to make it...

Google Street view shows UK UFOs flying in formation 3.30.09

I would have said this is some sort of visual artifact from the Google Street View's automated camera, but perhaps not! Certainly worth investigating further....

Multiple Witness UFO sighting in Ohio 3.29.09

an Ohio woman watched "unusual lights" in the sky March 28 at 3 a.m. She said the lights were rotating on a horizontal axis and were red and green. They were similar to chaser lights, she said, and blinking about 120 times per minute. While the disc-shaped object appeared to be hovering just above I-75, it then slowly descended behind some hills.

The second witness described a similar object on the same date, but between 9 and 10 p.m. - 18 hours after the first sighting. She described the object as rounded, with three lights.

The two witnesses are in different Ohio towns.

An interesting sighting because of the corroboration of an unaffiliated witness

contender for weirdest ever UFO photo

I'm making my way through Coast to Coast AM, which has an untamed wilderness of stuff on there, including quite a bit of decent UFO evidence as I'm discovering. 

This picture is easily one of the most bizarre UFO photos I've ever seen.

As evidence it's useful because of all the photographic detail the photographer, a pro, provides. 

corroborating video for the 1.5.9 NJ triangles

RealUFOs.net has both the Fox News interview with the pilot who videoed the NJ triange(s) in an earlier post, as well as another video taken the same night by what sounds like some teens, in which the (same?) triangle is much redder, clearer, and more apparently triangular...

Having two different videos of the same phenomena is pretty good evidence of something, IMHO. The teens' video doesn't look much like 'flares on a balloon' to me....

more weird stuff flying over NJ 08.28.08

I ran across this video while trying to track down the video from the last post. 

As is mentioned in the comments, the 'Radio Irish' commentary in the background is somewhat surreal, with everything from cat noises to women screaming in the background, but that thankfully fades away after about 3 minutes to some rather decent techno, which I suppose makes perfect sense and went quite well with purported footage of an alien craft. The commentary is only useful for telling us three things, we which have to take on faith (or not): that hundreds of witnesses saw this thing, that people swear up and down it was not a blimp or 'copter, and that it made some bizarre movements that proved it was no known aircraft. 

Regarding the footage itself, this is a fence sitter for me. I watched the footage four times and it sometimes looks like a blimp with writing, and other times like some weirdo object with windows. I say this is definitely worthy of further investigation

Improving the Signal to Noise Ratio

this is exactly why UFOlogy is so difficult. Not only are the phenomena extremely rare and unpredictable, but you have folks like those over at 'weirdnewsfiles.com' mixing in what is almost certainly a hoax with actual, real video footage of something weird.
Over here on their video page, they have two videos.
The first is a news report from New Jersey of a 20 year veteran pilot who took some video of what, to a trained UFOlogist, seem a lot like your classic black triangles. His whole family saw the objects, they got video (and from listening to the news report, perhaps also some stills as well, although those aren't shown), the control room at the airport saw them, as did at least 9 people who called 911.
The (CBS, mind you!) newscaster writes it off as flares tied to a balloon (Again? Where do people get all these flares and balloons? Is there like a club or something?) but the witnesses say the lights 'took off' extremely quickly, which balloon-laden flares have a difficult time doing. So I'm going to say this footage is likely authentic and worthy of investigation. This counts as actual 'signal'. 

The second video is however, complete 'noise'.  It ostensibly shows a Moldovian (WTF?) reporter who is interrupted in her report about maybe geese or whatever (sorry, I don't speak a word of Moldovian) by a mysterious brilliant light that then shoots away.
This is obviously a hoaxed video. Let me count the ways:

1. If it were real, why would they show us the nicely (edited!) preamble of the nature story presumably getting interrupted? Why not just show us the raw footage clip of the UFO? The answer is because they want us to unconsciously feel like our nature show is getting interrupted by a UFO, which is what the reporter is presumably experiencing, and so that draws us into the 'story'.
2. Related to this, there's all sorts of (Moldovian?) news commentary sandwiching the thing, and even (presumably) discussing it and showing it over again. Once again, not being terribly up on my Moldovian language lessons, I have no idea what they are saying -- for all i know they could be discussing the price of rutabegas in Minsk and it's just edited to look like they're discussing the UFO. Whatever they're actually talking about, I think it's more window dressing to make you think the 'footage' is authentic and all over the Moldovian news while we remain benightedly ignorant over here in the USA, 'cause everyone knows the cool stuff is coming from Eastern Europe these days. Barf. The attempts of these former soviet bloc hucksters to hoodwink us gullible yanks for a buck or two is painfully transparent.
   
3. The UFO makes a pretty standard sci-fi-ish sound effect, about what you'd expect a UFO to make. Any student of UFOlogy knows that UFOs either make no sound at all, or weird sounds that bear no resemblance to hollywood UFO sound effects. But for a UFO to make a cool sound is automatically suspect. Though for most ignorant folk maybe it would make it seem more real if it was just like in the movies? Are people really that dumb? That's sad. 
4. The UFO just happens to come down in the corner of the cameraman's frame, so that the reporter has to turn her back to see it. This is awfully convenient; for one, we see the UFO come down along with the cameraman, so we can share his reaction, drawing us further into the 'story'. For another, the reporter turns her back to us so we can't see where she's looking, exactly -- convenient for the purpose of, say, adding postproduction visual effects. 
5. Wouldn't a real news cameraman have automatically zoomed in on the thing to see WTF and get the best footage possible, rather than keeping the reporter nicely in the frame? He knows he can always shoot the reporter later! The only reason she stays in frame is because he wants us to see her 'reaction' to the UFO. 

5 pix of a brilliant object, Springfield Ill. 11.18.2006

Five UFO pix taken in Illinois 11 days after the O'hare cloud hole incident in '06.

I just stumbled accross a series of 5 photos that show something brilliant hovering in the sky over Springfield Illinois. The pix are ripe for analysis as they're pretty clear and there are trees and such for perspective. However the poster doesn't say much about the sighting itself.
Do yourself a favor and leave the sound off if you watch the video, which doesn't add anything other than to give you a slide show of the pix. That is unless you're a fan of cheesy soft rock music. :P
