AP reporting on a string of calf mutilations in southern Colorado....

'65 photo proven authentic

one of the most convincing series of photos ever taken of a UFO was the set of 4 taken by Rex Heflin in Texas in 1965, using a Polaroid camera.

The latest analysis supports the idea that the photos were not faked in any way.

strange russian cloud ring

this could possibly be some sort of bizarre ultra-rare weather phenomenon, but it's unusual enough that I thought I'd post it....

Lonnie Zamora Socorro Sighting A Hoax?

Although extremely old news (40+ years!), the Soccorro sighting, you know, the one where the deputy saw two beings leap into a craft and take off, has always been super controversial.
Here's some evidence that it was hoaxed, supposedly. These old dudes say they did it, as part of this 'culture of pranksterism' at NM Tech. And since they're old, why would they lie?
I don't deny that Socorro was a hoax, nor do I necessarily believe that it wasn't. But whether or not these hoaxers existed, which they apparently did, and whether or not they had a fondness for hoaxing UFO's, which they also apparently did, it doesn't say how they managed to get the UFO that Zamora saw to turn green and shoot off into the sky, which is what he's always said it did.

triangle footage

I've been remiss in posting the last couple months, the recession is kicking my ass and I've been concentrating on staying afloat. But I hope to post more here in the near future, maybe even get the Drupal site up I've been threatening for ages. Drupal will let me organize the site better, so I can put some real value-add to the UFO stuff, and hopefully stand out from amidst the many many UFO blogs out there.
How you ask? By starting to draw the connections and organizing the information in a useful way, with the intent that it all get rated, connected, and contextualized, which is the only way any scientific light will ever be shed using the evidence we have so far. Skeptics will continue to argue each and every individual sighting, no matter if it's on radar or 10,000 people see it, and so trotting out sighting after sighting is pointless. What the UFO community should be going after at this point in time, after 60+ years of sightings, pix, videos, etc. is how to put all this information together in ways that will allow any patterns to emerge, and for connections to be made.
We need to put all the data we have so far in its proper place according to time and date, relevant geospatial data, the type of objects or whatever seen, and the type and number of witnesses and other evidence, so we can make correlations across the data and see if we can prove via scientific statistical means that there is something going on, or once and for all if it all is just mass hysteria, Venus, and swamp gas.

As pompous and arrogant as it may sound, I hope to start to do that with the Drupal version of Dimension22, which I hope to have time to do one of these days. I've got the site installed, I basically just need to build a nifty template for it, do the taxonomy and the rss feeds, and start the laborious process of adding the content, both from this temporary blog as well as all the on- and offline stuff I've been wanting to post.

I've got a huge backlog of stuff to put up, that I hope I can someday get to, but in the meantime, here's some interesting nighttime footage of something with non-standard blinking lights and of considerable apparent size, as far as can be ascertained.
Hard to tell what it is, but it's pretty clear what it isn't -- a helicopter or plane, unless it's one with really illegal lights!

some video evidence of crop circles in the midst of being formed?

I don't usually post stuff on crop circles, as fascinating as they are, because since so many English Tossers think it's amusing to hoax them, the field (no pun intended) is even more fraught with false leads than the rest of UFOlogy.
But this one was pretty interesting. You can see two flashes of light, and then if you look closely, some dark things of some sort moving around in the field.
The setup for filming was pretty sophisticated, using 4 IR cameras for parallax, and then another dude went and filmed the same area during the daytime to make sure that it matched up. An intricate, 'woven' crop circle was discovered in that same spot the next morning, with the wheat apparently interleaved like a basket!
Check out the videos (there are several) at the link in the title...

Mexico yellow orb releases numerous child orbs!

This recent video from Mexico is truly astounding, and I am at a loss how these could be explained away. It's got lots of reference points in continuous video, and shows multiple self-luminous objects zipping about clearly under some sort of control. Furthermore, scores of these luminous objects appear to come from the central object, and even those that don't simply appear from out of nothing! Really neat stuff. How come Mexico gets all the nifty ones? ;)

star-shaped video from Brazil

found this posted on YouTube, posted from Atibaia city in São Paulo, Brazil:

spinning triangle thingy over Amsterdam, Netherlands!

This video, if authentic -- which I doubt -- is pretty nifty. It shows some weirdo object spinning over a city (presumably Amsterdam), that then takes off amazingly quickly, doing a nice STNG flash thing. Pretty good fake though, IMHO, although I'd love to be proved wrong about this one (about the fake part)....

two similar quasi-invisible airborne circles

by themselves, neither one of these reports is all that interesting, but I find it curious that within a couple of days of each other, there are these two reports that are so similar as to be very eerie. Both are very subtle circles hanging motionless in the sky, hardly visible....
The first is the one from Kings Dominion, VA, which actually has some video to go with it.
The second, is a single photo that only showed a strange circle when the photographer was looking over his photos after uploading.
By themselves, either of these could be easily dismissed as whatever, but these are 3 days apart, this particular one from Texas. I just found that curious enough to post both of these as a potentially related phenomenon.
Also if you poke around the YouTube video some, you'll find this one, which shows some other similar rings from previous decades, with some more discussion on the 1957 sighting available at UFOCasebook.

3 crisp daytime flying triangle photos

these 3 photos are really sharp and clear; what isn't clear is whether they are something otherworldly or just really advanced military technology...
They were taken in Greenville, South Carolina

flying mexican humanoid thingy -- WTF?

ok this is totally whack. It's all in spanish so i have little enough idea of what the hell they're saying, but the video is definitely a strange one....

lots more weird stuff here too: http://www.para-tube.com

some amazing alleged NASA footage of crashed ancient spacecraft on the moon?

Part I of the footage; includes an audio overlay of the already famous interview with Apollo Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, already included in a previous post. The first 7 minutes include some of the harder-to-explain-away space shuttle footage of odd things, including my personal favorite, the one where the object makes a 270 degree turn, accelerates away, and is followed by a flash of light as if something on the ground shot at it; how exactly is that space junk or a camera flare, pray tell?

Part II is IMHO much less convincing, but equally interesting, video/audio combinations, dealing primarily with John Lear, and partly (although sadly cut off) with Richard Hoagland of Face-On-Mars fame. Hoagland is somebody who I actually met, having helped a pal videotape one of his presentations a few years back. While Hoagland has some interesting stuff to talk about, particularly regarding the supposed giant structures on the moon, he's kind of a dick as a person - or he was to me and my pal - which may not have any bearing on the validity of what he's talking about, but makes it more difficult for me to believe him. IMHO assholes are more likely to be big fat liars than non-assholes; purely an emotional bias, I freely admit. I shouldn't confuse the messenger with the message. However I always thought the Face On Mars was hokum. I don't know anything about Lear (if I'm even spelling his name correctly) though I'll try to research him some more in a future post.
part III starts out and ends with the famous Mexican Air Force IR video, which to my thinking is as solid a proof as you could possibly ask for -- objects invisible to the naked eye, captured by military-quality infrared gear, and seen by numerous qualified air force personnel. I ask you, skeptics, if that's not acceptable evidence, WTF is? What evidence would it take to convince you, if any? My guess is that most skeptics wouldn't believe it if the aliens landed on their garage.
The rest of part III deals with the supposed immanence of Disclosure by the U.S. government, which in an earlier post I expressed my doubt as to its likelihood. Governments have a singular dislike of admitting that they've been wrong, especially arrogant, conceited governments like ours. So don't hold your breath. But I'd love to be proved wrong....

Participant reports on the Dulce, NM Conference

Some fascinating reading regarding the heavily attended conference in Dulce, NM about the possibility of an underground alien base or black ops military base, or both, beneath Archuleta Mesa.
Details include multiple witness reports of UFO activity, cattle mutilations, physical evidence of military operations, and perhaps most interestingly, surveillance of conference attendees by unmarked helicopters!
Really worth a look....

Stunning Daylight Disk footage from Italy

These are some of the clearest, most detailed daylight disk videos EVER.
They don't offer a great many reference points, but there are sufficient background details in the sky (like in one instance, a far-away passenger airliner) to make some good analysis.


here's a video of some English Bloke who thinks the Urzi guy is faking the video; after watching the demo I'm not convinced the Urzi footage is faked; the whatever-it-is in the Italian videos has a lot more depth of field to it, and in one of the clips starts out from much further away than i think the Italian dude could have faked from that tiny attic window. Just MHO of course...
'hoax' demo video: compare & contrast for yourself!

objects seen in Pakistan, Turkey

the video below seems to be a composite of several different videos taken of what was described as a 'huge' object hovering and doing manoeuvres described as 'not of this planet', over Lahore, Pakistan.


Also a hexagonal orange light was filmed by a Turkish Security Guard (Those Turkish security guards have all the luck! :D ) and his on 2 coworkers on April 23 in the early AM:

At first I couldn’t understand what I was witnessing. I saw this large object rising from the sea. It definitely wasn’t a plane or balloon. It was leaving a trail and it was glowing. My hands were shaking from the excitement. As it descended towards the sea I ran to the beach but then it began to rapidly rise eventually merging with the stars. It was hexagonal, orange and fluorescent. As far as I am concerned it was a definitely UFO

some interesting sightings from southern Asia

This video from Kashgar, China is pretty interesting, though nothing as spectacular as the two videos below. The footage dates from 2/18/9 and

Some other recent Asian sightings:

• UFO 'meters away' in Himalayas


• Thailand UFO hovering over river, multiple witnesses


• UFO Videotaped in Hebei Province, China


• Mystery object videotaped in Japan

Two impressive videos of similar weird objects

Both of these videos are fairly startling, and both seem to show odd-looking objects with protrusions and no definable shape.
Both objects make no sound, and are traveling far too quickly IMHO to be 'balloons', research or otherwise. Anyone who has ever seen a balloon (and as someone 65 miles from the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, I've seen more than my share) knows that balloons don't move very quickly, even in high winds. Nor do they show any sort of lifting surface such as wings or rotors.
The first and shorter vid is from Germany this year, and has the added bonus of some other, smaller spherical objects seeming to buzz the primary whatever-it-is (shown in the slo-mo):

And the second from Canada last year (language warning!): (Oakbay, Victoria, British Columbia)

New revelations reveal Roswell Debris was extraterrestrial!

Startling news, if it can be confirmed!
props to the UFO Iconoclast for bringing my attention to this amazing story! I highly recommend you read his detailed article.

A former high-level scientist employed by the involved laboratory has offered a confession that he was tasked to study the crashed UFO material. Information provided by two U.S. Air Force Generals also offers direct support for this discovery.

The article details several documents and statements (among them those of two generals) concerning some classified metallurgical studies done on the infamous 'memory metal' alleged pieces of the Roswell crash of 1947, made famous by the revelations of Jesse Marcel, Jr, the son of the famous Army Major who made the initial investigation of what has become known as the Roswell crash. Another quote from the article:

Battelle scientist Elroy John Center has stated that he analyzed metal from a crashed UFO when he was employed by the Institute. Center was a Senior Research Chemist who worked for Battelle for nearly two decades, from 1939 to 1957. This has been confirmed by both his University of Michigan alumni files and by the location of scientific papers that he authored during his employment while at Battelle.

These documents and confessions seem to confirm not only the debris themselves, but also the US military's interest in them, and even subsequent 'discoveries' made as a result of the studies of the alien material!
double wow, if these can be confirmed. I'm trolling the web now for more info....

[Update 07/05/09] the 3rd part of the series was released recently, and has some interesting additional info...

several recent reports from UFOcasebook

I'm posting these because two concern photographs of the unusual 'boomerang' type UFO, another resembles the UFO 'fleet' video of Horn Lake MS, and the last is a report of yet another triangle:

Boomerang-shaped UFO photographed in unnamed CO location

four different photos of boomerang-ish UFOs in Tamaulipas, Mexico

several self-luminous object snapped in Sedona, AZ
