Many believe as I do that not only are we not alone, but that we have never been alone. The beings we believe are alien to this Earth are actually from it's ocean's depths. Or possibly they are from other worlds and have been using our oceans as a base. Whichever the case, there have been many witnesses to the phenomena of the UFO and USO. In this site I hope to share these accounts and hopefully draw witnesses here to share their experiences.jscotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10819185320132226177noreply@blogger.comBlogger64125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677386090402523421.post-47328853145624956632009-11-01T13:33:00.000-08:002009-11-01T13:33:17.849-08:00"Oval Spot" Seen in the Sky Over Tianjin, China<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0FDYmq49zNs/Su3-Ta_7hgI/AAAAAAAAAT4/suV-pMDy5Og/s1600-h/mito.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0FDYmq49zNs/Su3-Ta_7hgI/AAAAAAAAAT4/suV-pMDy5Og/s400/mito.jpg" vr="true" /></a><br />
</div>On the night of October 31st, in the last three hours, a dozen people witnessed two white oval spots. Many asked if these were UFOs. Astronomical experts say these spots were light irradiation coming from the ground and hitting low-level clouds. They say it was a refraction phenomenon, not a UFO.<br />
<br />
They were seen in the Wei-Kun bridge area of Tianjin. People called the San Tsuen newspaper said they saw two white spot oval-shaped spots in the northern sky moving from East to West. Many people traveling in the area now stop and watch the sky wondering what will appear next.<br />

Residents of the Leningrad region witnessed an unusual phenomena: on the balcony homes came an unidentified flying object. Eyewitnesses immediately filmed a shining UFO in the sky with their cell phone. The people still tell talk about the "miracle".<br />
<br />
The witnesses confessed that previously they were sceptical about the reality of UFOs. But they are now ready to reconsider their view. If you were in the vicinity of the UFO and managed to film it, send your videos to us. <br />

UFO Wormholes Open Over Moscow, Russia and Romania - Disclosure is Imminent! These remind me of the rings seen in some of UFOLibrary's previous videos. A pattern is forming. Disclosure is imminent whether the government like it or not. <br />

</div>An asteroid has hurled through space unnoticed by scientists and smashed into the earth's atmosphere with three times the energy of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb. <br />
<br />
<br />
The space rock, estimated by NASA to be just 5-10m wide, detonated about 20km above the earth on October 8 over South Sulawesi, a rugged mountain province in western Indonesia, New Scientist magazine reports.<br />
<br />
Locals in the town of Bone in the north of the province said they saw a fireball and heard a huge explosion while amateur video footage shows a trail of smoke typical of an exploding asteroid.<br />
<br />
NASA estimated the force from the explosion was equivalent to 50,000 tons of TNT, making it one of the largest ever recorded asteroid explosions. <br />
<br />
Dr Nick Lomb, curator of astronomy at Sydney Observatory, told ninemsn the asteroid went unnoticed because it was so small but that chunks of the rock may still have made it to the ground. <br />
<br />
"It's very hard to find small asteroids — the main emphasis is to find big one which are 1km or more in diameter because they're the ones that cause global catastrophe," Dr Lomb said. <br />
<br />
"But bits of this rock could have survived and somebody might be able to actually search for it ... it is extremely useful scientifically." <br />
<br />
Dr Lomb said the asteroid exploded at such a high altitude because of the huge amounts of heated air piling in front of it. <br />
<br />
If the asteroid exploded a few kilometres closer to earth, "you would be very unlucky to be in the blast area," he said. <br />
<br />
Dr Lomb said the rock could have easily slipped by even if it was 100m-wide because the southern hemisphere is not closely watched for asteroids. <br />
<br />
"Asteroids 100m-wide asteroids could destroy a city and if it's coming from the southern part of the sky, there's a good chance it would come in undiscovered," he said. <br />
<br />
"There's only one small [asteroid watch] project at Coonabarabran in NSW which receives only a little bit of funding from NASA ... it's a single handed effort." <br />
<br />
The report from NASA on the October 8 explosion said a "fireball event of this magnitude" occurs about once every two to 12 years. <br />

</div>UFOS have been spotted over Fenland again, with several people seeing strange lights in the sky. <br />
<br />
<br />
Andy Dowe, who lives in Tilney St Lawrence, watched four lights over the Wisbech area for more than an hour on Friday night. <br />
<br />
He said his mother, who also lives in the village, saw them as well, as did some friends from Walpole St Andrew. <br />
<br />
Andy, who works in Wisbech, said his son first spotted the lights at 8.15pm. <br />
<br />
"The lights hovered and moved in the sky," Andy recalled, "often looking as though they would collide with each other. They would stop and either go what appeared to be up or down. Then they would return and chase each other around. <br />
<br />
"They were white lights and sometimes appeared cigar shaped but other times resembled the shape of an upturned saucer. Sometimes the lights would appear as just two moving slowly, then zipping across the sky and being joined by more." <br />
<br />
Andy added that later that night, the lights appeared over towards the March area before disappearing.<br />

</div>It was complied based on people's evidences about strange flying objects over Ukraine. The 'secret files' comprise about 500 eyewitnesses' testimonies who saw UFO in Ukraine starting from the 17th century. According to UFODOS chief Yaroslav Sochka, the materials were collected from various sources, basically, Hydrometeorological Center of Ukraine Air Force and public ufological organizations. In August 2009, the UK National Archives released new UFO files containing a wide range of UFO-related documents covering the years 1981-1996 and describing more than 800 UFO cases.<br />

The object was in a v-shape and flashed in five different colors ( red, blue, green, yellow and white).<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0FDYmq49zNs/Su0u7mKSFUI/AAAAAAAAATI/4ngCYaZLiII/s1600-h/chongking2+closeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0FDYmq49zNs/Su0u7mKSFUI/AAAAAAAAATI/4ngCYaZLiII/s400/chongking2+closeup.jpg" vr="true" /></a><br />

</div>The UFO flooded the night sky of Beibei, Chongqing with these lights. It appears to have attracted hundreds of passersby. The UFO hovered for several minutes without changing direction. The people present did not hear any engine or see any means of propulsion. The glowing UFO color was quite bright It had a white V font style arrangement, intersected with red, the color transforming every few minutes, and each time a change is a gradual.<br />
<br />
Because it is in the evening, the witnesses couldn't get an approximate height. The UFO appeared for a full half an hour before an airliner flew over not too far away. The witnesses made a comparison of the height of the civil aircraft and UFO's altitude and said that it was obvious that the civilian aircraft was flying high above the UFO.<br />
<br />
About half an hour later, the UFO perimeter light began to flash, and after a moment, the UFO disappeared.<br />

It's a story like a science fiction movie: A UFO is said to have kidnapped a cow in Argentina. It was beamed upward! These are the claims of TV channel "Channel 3" in a report. <br />
<br />
A witness presented to the camera several (very sharp) photos, proving the incredible assertion, and discusses with the world. The event originated north of the city of Rosario in the vicinity of a river. <br />
<br />
On display is a dark disc (UFO) and a bright spot (cow). The alleged animal is floating in the air, as if it was carried by a beam of energy - as we see often in movies.<br />
<br />
Real or fake? The witness is sure that it is not a helicopter, etc. She says: "It seemed as if the cow was sucked up by the UFO. After a few minutes both vanished. "Her husband who stood by, confirmed the incident. <br />
<br />
But why should aliens do such a thing? UFO experts are divided: for medical experiments - or because they could feed on the animals' blood ...<br />

</div>"I hope that Eglin Air Force Base is testing something." — Fisherman to UFOinfo.com<br />
<br />
<br />
Should we rename ourselves The World’s Spookiest Fishing Village?<br />
<br />
There are many tall tales of ghosts, UFOs and other oddities from every part of the world. Destin is no exception when it comes to these close encounters of the strange kind.<br />
<br />
Ghosts of America, a Web site that chronicles haunted happenings around the nation, maintains that Destin is a haunted hotspot.<br />
<br />
While most of the so-called sightings seem like nonsense, Destin’s Holiday Inn seems to have emerged as a favorite ghost story setting. There have been a couple of accounts from commenters of strange events there.<br />
<br />
Both so-called eye-witnesses awoke in their rooms to see ghosts, including a “tall black shadow of a man standing at the end of the bed,” and a “transparent little boy who smiles sweetly and has long eyelashes.”<br />
<br />
It only gets weirder from there.<br />
<br />
It would appear that even the extra-terrestrials vacation in Destin, because there are multiple accounts of UFOs flying around our skies on the Web site UFOinfo.com. One tale tells of a “triangular shaped object flying around at tremendous speeds in the early hours of the morning.” According to the story, this UFO looks similar to a flock of birds flying in formation, but can “blend into cloud coverage,” has “lights running along each side” and travels at a speed of “half a mile in five seconds.”<br />
<br />
Another account described a UFO that appeared as a “green light” and was seen moving very rapidly and then suddenly stopping all around the Gulf of Mexico.<br />
<br />
And of course there was the 1987 abduction that was reported to have happened near Destin. A 5-year old boy was sleeping on the couch late at night when a short robot-like entity approached and apparently floated him up into a hovering disc-shaped object that was above a nearby clearing in the woods. He remembered being medically examined onboard the craft. He was apparently picked up the next day also and given a post-hypnotic suggestion that made his throat hurt when he talked about the incident.<br />
<br />
And if you are not yet a true believer, consider longtime Rodeo Weighmaster Bruce Cheves’ tale. He’s been telling everyone who will listen on the Rodeo docks about the UFO he saw a week ago at twilight.<br />
<br />
It came from the east and took on three different shapes as it passed by from Holiday Isle to just past the jetties, he says. The first shape was like an X, he said, with bright lights at each of the corners and center. Then it morphed into an egg shape with purple, red, green and gold lights.<br />
<br />
“It was very bright,” Cheves said. “And it never made a sound. It just filled up the sky and was so bright.”<br />
<br />
Bruce was so inspired he created a UFO division for the Destin Fishing Rodeo.<br />
<br />
So far, his entry is the only one on the leaderboard.<br />

</div>At a nuclear missile launch site in North Dakota, a guard spots a mysterious bright light hovering over the location of each rocket silo.<br />
<br />
Below ground, officers on duty notice their missiles start to activate one by one.<br />
<br />
In the launch capsule, an officer orders emergency procedures when he sees every bomb targeted by the intruder prepare to fire.<br />
<br />
UFO researcher Robert Hastings has recorded this and other testimony from retired U.S. military personnel who worked at nuclear facilities over the past four decades. He says there’s a pattern of UFOs targeting nuclear launch sites not just in the United States, but around the world.<br />
<br />
“One might interpret that as these beings attempting to send a warning to us humans that we are playing with fire,” Hastings said. “Alternatively, it could be that these beings are planning to invade Earth and don’t want to inhabit a radioactive wasteland.”<br />
<br />
A retired laboratory analyst and lifelong UFO investigator, Hastings will give a free lecture and slideshow in the Burney Center at the University of North Carolina Wilmington at 7 p.m. today Hastings says his findings confirm beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of UFOs and their concern to top-level military and intelligence officials.<br />
<br />
“I’m trying to get this message out to the public to let people know that this is not science fiction, this is not Hollywood, this is not the funny pages – this is absolutely real,” Hastings said.<br />
<br />
In more than 30 years of research on UFO sightings, Hastings has collected testimony from 120 veterans, and reviewed thousands of de-classified Air Force, FBI and CIA documents. He has appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live, spoken at more than 500 colleges and published a book on his findings last year. His presentation at UNCW is part of the campus’ ACE Voice program, a series of speakers invited to bring fresh perspectives to campus.<br />
<br />
Decades of research was kindled by a mysterious sighting one night during Hastings’ high school job as a janitor at an Air Force base in Montana in 1967. As Hastings cleaned the radar room, an officer on duty told him they were monitoring UFOs in the area, and showed him five hovering objects on the radar screen. Within minutes, the officer grew tense and ordered Hastings out of the room. Later, the officer refused to discuss what had happened. With that, a lifelong quest was born.<br />
<br />
Hastings’ focus is on collecting firsthand accounts from military veterans of UFO sightings and activity during their service time. He conducts careful research to confirm each source’s background, and corroborates each account with other eyewitness descriptions and de-classified government documents.<br />
<br />
Hastings believes the government’s knowledge of UFOs is kept quiet out of fear of public panic if the information was released.<br />
<br />
Over the years, Hastings says he has seen half a dozen UFOs with his own eyes, including a set of bright lights hovering over radio and TV towers in Albequerque that covered eight miles in three seconds. Though Hastings emphasizes that he is only speculating, he believes that at least one race of alien visitors has been monitoring Earth for a long time.<br />
<br />
“I think we’re slowly as a race being acquainted with their reality and presence here, and at some point they’re going to leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that that’s what’s going on,” Hastings said.<br />

</div>FLINT, Michigan — One unidentified motorist claims to have seen an unidentified flying object — but no one else can confirm or deny the sighting.<br />
<br />
<br />
The writer of the Internet posting at www.ufostalker.com/event.html?id=20142 said he (or she) was going to school at 9:20 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26, getting onto Interstate 69 at the Irish exit when the motorist noticed lights in the sky.<br />
<br />
Initially the person thought it was lights, such as those used in a concert, which “criss cross”.<br />
<br />
Looking closer, the motorist described the lights as four opaque lights in a tear-drop shape, with dark circles in the center.<br />
<br />
The lights repeatedly came to the center and bounced back out, covering an estimated 100-foot span — 50 feet in each direction from center.<br />
<br />
The lights as a whole rotated very slow.<br />
<br />
The person said he/she watched the UFO for about 10 minutes, which was 100 to 200 feet in the air, moving parallel to his/her car. The object made no noise and was too large to be any type of known aircraft.<br />
<br />
“I thought it was the coolest thing ever,” the writer noted.<br />
<br />
Genesee County 911 dispatchers said they had no log entry of anyone calling in a UFO sighting, nor would they note one, unless an officer was dispatched to the scene.<br />
<br />
Air traffic controllers at Bishop Airport said they could not comment, saying all questions must go through the Federal Aviation Administration.<br />
<br />
Tony Molinaro, spokesman with the FAA Public Affairs Office for the Great Lakes and Central Regions located in Chicago, contacted the Flint airport to report that there were no sightings by pilots, air traffic controllers or anything unusual on radar.<br />
<br />
“In that area, at night, with the cloud cover, it could be someone seeing the lights of a plane, but not the plane,” Molinaro said.<br />
<br />
“That area (of the sighting) is an area of approach for aircraft.”<br />

</div>KEEP watching the skies – the Observer has received several reports of UFOs during October. All witnesses speak of a strange, glowing light traversing the night sky over Sutton.<br />
<br />
Accounts range from an intangible orb to a clearly defined mass bathed in a 'burnt orange' energy. The latter is said to have a plane's fixed-wing and 'nose' design, but bears no flashing lights while it defies conventional laws of physics.<br />
<br />
Now the members of the public who have had these close encounters want to satisfy their curiosity, asking: "Do you know what they are?"<br />
<br />
They are also wondering whether any more residents have experienced similar phenomena.<br />
<br />
The first unexplained report focuses on Saturday, October 3. The Observer did not publish it to see whether additional calls from the public would independently corroborate the eyewitness account.<br />
<br />
<br />
"We had just come out of a restaurant on Lower Parade and it was about 9.15pm," said a female resident who asked not to be named.<br />
<br />
"There was a party of six of us and we were waiting for a few moments following a family gathering.<br />
<br />
"My niece suddenly said 'what's that'? and I saw an object flying low over The Mall shopping centre.<br />
<br />
"It was like an orb, with a gold light that was almost orange and a reddish glow on top of it.<br />
<br />
"Then a second one appeared following it, flying very silently and low towards Marks and Spencer.<br />
<br />
"Two chaps were also watching them go over the buildings and we said we would go to the other side of the street to see whether we could continue watching.<br />
<br />
"We saw one, but it got so high so quickly."<br />
<br />
She added: "I don't know how big the objects were – they were perhaps a couple of hundred feet in the air.<br />
<br />
"It was hard to tell whether they were solid objects or not with the glow and no sign of solid shape."<br />
<br />
Similar reports filtered through to the newsdesk, matching a spate of national reports during the summer which some UFO enthusiasts put down to special floating lanterns that have become fashionable to release at weddings.<br />
<br />
But then this week, a Four Oaks resident contacted the Observer to share an incident from October 18 that he has been unable to put out of his mind.<br />
<br />
He spotted an aircraft above Mere Green, travelling north towards Lichfield.<br />
<br />
"It was 10.40pm," he said, also asking not to be named.<br />
<br />
"I noticed something and thought 'that's a bright star'.<br />
<br />
"Then I thought 'it has to be a planet', but it soon seemed to be more like a plane.<br />
<br />
"I could see the shape of wings and a 'nose' on it, but it hadn't got lights on and the whole of the shape was surrounded by a burnt orange colour; it was bathed in it. I've never seen anything like it in my life.<br />
<br />
"I heard no noise in all the time I was watching which was about ten minutes.<br />
<br />
"Then it went up through the clouds, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared."<br />
<br />
He said: "It was most unusual. If it was a plane it would have had lights on and, despite the wings, it was going up vertically just as a helicopter would take off.<br />
<br />
"Before that, it had seemed to be just 'holding' in the sky.<br />
<br />
"I couldn't say how low it was, or how big and I'm glad it was no closer – you hear of people disappearing.<br />
<br />
"If it's an experiment, or a new plane, we should be told."<br />

<br />
<br />
However, the prank was exposed after the residents' careful observation and found that the shape of the 'fireball' was similar to a burning 'cup lump (naturally coagulated latex)'.<br />
<br />
Residents started to gather around the oil palm estate since the rumour of spotting an UFO was spread over Kuala Sungai Pinang and Sungai Rusa. They kept on looking at the sky, hoping to see the rumoured flying object.<br />
<br />
A Sin Chew Reporter went to the oil palm estate at Sungai Rusa and waited for more than two hours after setting up the tripod and camera. Suddenly, a floating 'fireball' appeared on the sky.<br />
<br />
However, the 'fireball' was not whizzing across the sky as the rumour said. Instead, it was moving up and down above a coconut tree.<br />
<br />
The flame caught the residents' attention and everyone was shouting when they saw the 'UFO'. A few young men immediately climbed onto the motorcycles and rushed to the location where the 'fireball' was.<br />
<br />
The residents were nervous at first. They then realised that they had been fooled after a careful observation as the 'fireball' was actually moving up and down straightly. The inferred that it was actually a cup lump as it kept dropping blaze.<br />
<br />
When they realised that it was a prank, they tried to get into the jungle to look for the person. However, as the only way to get in was through a deep marsh, they could only observe outside the jungle.<br />
<br />
The "farce" lasted for about 15 minutes when the prankster stopped pulling the 'fireball'.<br />
<br />
However, the 'fireball' continued burning and some residents stayed over as they were worried that it might cause a fire.<br />

For the moment it is only leaks, but it seems that November 27th will be an historic date: one where President Obama will address publicly the case of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), revealing the ins and outs of the alleged "visits" to much of the Earth.<br />
<br />
According to some governmental sources the news isthat the President is going to organise a Conference that will address the "taboo" topic on that date. They also report that there is a possiblity that the existence of aliens will be demonstrated by 31 December 2010.<br />

As a spokesman for the Bremen police said, many of the callers excitedly explained that they had seen this greenish shimmering ball fall to the ground. Police suspected that the phenomenon was a meteorite. <br />
<br />
After consultation with air traffic control, the police ruled out a plane crash as the cause of light publication. Police went to the places described the callers. According to the amateur astronomers and UFO researcher Werner Walter of Centralen studies power, it was a so-called Boliden verglühe in the Earth's atmosphere. Such things are extremely rare, he said. <br />
<br />
Numerous people in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern also were witnesses to the green-white light ball. <br />

</div>People were stunned last week when a university student claimed to have photographed a flying saucer in the skies over Blok M in South Jakarta. <br />
<br />
Maulana Ibrahim Rau said he had intended to take a photograph of an apartment complex, but when inspecting the photograph on his digital camera later, it showed what appeared to be a small flying saucer to the right of the screen. <br />
<br />
Nur Agustinus, 43, one of the founders of Beta-UFO, a community established in October 1997 to investigate UFO sightings in Indonesia, was suspicious of the photograph. <br />
<br />
“I knew the picture was a hoax the first time I saw it,” he said. <br />
<br />
He thought he had seen that UFO before, and when he went back and looked over his records, he noticed a strong resemblance to a photo of a “flying saucer” on the Web site of a UFO community in the United States. Maulana later admitted on his blog that his picture was a fake and had been intended as a joke. <br />
<br />
“Many people make claims that they have seen flying saucers and aliens,” Nur said. “But with today’s technology, pictures and videos can be easily manipulated.” <br />
<br />
Muhammad Irfan, 21, the director of a similar community called Ufonesia, also doubted Maulana’s initial claim and was sad it turned out to be a hoax. “I hope Maulana won’t do something like this again,” he said. <br />
<br />
Both Nur and Irfan say they have been fascinated by UFOs, aliens and associated phenomena for a long time. <br />
<br />
Nur has a degree in psychology, but what he enjoys most is hunting UFOs, although he has never seen one, or an alien for that matter. <br />
<br />
“I believe that we’re not the only ones [in the universe],” he said. <br />
<br />
His interest in extraterrestrials started back in the 1970s when he first came across tales of natural mysteries linked to astronomy and the wider universe. <br />
<br />
“When I was a kid I always liked to look up at the sky and all the stars,” Nur said. <br />
<br />
So, together with friends who shared the same interest, he founded Beta-UFO (Beta stands for Benda Terbang Aneh, or Unusual Flying Objects) to investigate reports and document alleged UFO sightings in Indonesia. <br />
<br />
Beta-UFO claims to be the largest UFO community in Indonesia. <br />
<br />
“Our missions are the documentation, investigation, research, public education and scientific study of UFOs for the benefit of humanity. We collect and investigate claims of alleged UFO sightings in Indonesia,” Nur said. <br />
<br />
The group has a mailing list of 1,000 and 80 to 100 active members, who meet once a year in Jakarta for an annual gathering. At other times they share information and news through the group’s Web site, as well as investigating reported UFO sightings. <br />
<br />
“We have a special group of UFO hunters,” Nur said. The group sets up camp at spots where many reports of UFOs have originated. <br />
<br />
“They’ll stay for several days with their cameras and video recorders ready in case a UFO appears,” Nur said. <br />
<br />
“During the 1950s and 1960s, there were many reports of UFOs from eastern Indonesia. But now the reports come from all over Indonesia, with most coming from Jakarta, Bandung and Cirebon.” <br />
<br />
Irfan established his community, Ufonesia, in January 2008, with the intention of uniting young Indonesians who shared an enthusiasm for UFOs and aliens. His interest began in December 2005 when he himself saw what he believed to be an alien spacecraft. <br />
<br />
“Before, I was a bit skeptical. But after I saw it with my own eyes, I now believe that flying saucers and aliens do exist,” he said. <br />
<br />
Irfan said his sighting occurred at 1 a.m. as he was preparing to go out. He looked up at the sky, which was gloomy and reddish, as if it were going to rain. A few seconds later, he said, a bright light emerged from the clouds. At first he thought it was moonlight, but he then realized it was something more. The light stayed still for a few seconds, then it took off at great speed. <br />
<br />
“I don’t believe that God has created this huge universe only for humans,” he said. <br />
<br />
Nur tells of an alien encounter that allegedly occurred in July 1959 in Alor, East Nusa Tenggara. A police officer named Alwi Alnadad reported seeing six aliens dressed in blue clothes and black boots and carrying gray cylindrical rods. All had wavy white hair and some also wore beards. Alwi reported that a 6-year-old boy was abducted by the aliens and later released in the middle of a farmyard. <br />
<br />
Nur and fellow members of Beta-UFO believe the policeman’s story. <br />
<br />
Nur said he was aware that many people might consider him delusional for his beliefs. He said it was particularly difficult to convince others that extraterrestrials exist because he had never seen proof of aliens himself. <br />
<br />
Irfan said he was also judged negatively for his beliefs. “But I don’t care,” he said. There will be a time when people see UFOs and aliens with their own eyes. When that time comes, they’ll be the ones who are embarrassed.” <br />
<br />
Dr. Dhani Herdiwijaya, a former director of Bosscha Observatory in Bandung and former chairman of the Astronomy Department at the Bandung Institute of Technology, said: “Flying saucers and aliens don’t exist. At least we don’t have any proof to back up people’s claims.” <br />
<br />
He said that one of NASA’s missions was to find another planet that was capable of supporting life. <br />
<br />
“So far, they haven’t been able to do so,” he said. <br />
<br />
But Nur and Irfan believe that we already have enough evidence of sentient life elsewhere. <br />
<br />
“Some foreign governments have declassified their documents relating to UFOs and aliens,” Nur said. <br />
<br />
“I don’t have to see [aliens] to believe.”<br />

</div>In the two years since the French made their top-secret UFO files public, more European nations have declassified documents. But the majority remain tight-lipped with a few refusing to even acknowledge the phenomenon. <br />
<br />
On August 4, 1990, an unidentified flying object was seen hovering in daylight near the town of Pitlochry in Scotland. Eyewitnesses stated that the diamond shaped object hung in the sky for about 10 minutes as two military aircraft made a series of low-level passes near it. <br />
<br />
Almost three weeks later on August 24, hundreds of tourists and local residents observed formations of luminous spheres for over 30 minutes in the sky near the German city of Greifswald, located close to the coast of the Baltic Sea.<br />
<br />
In November of that year, a triangular object was seen by numerous witnesses passing over Saint-Germain in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France. The object moved slowly at low altitude and emitted beams of light towards the ground before eventually speeding away.<br />
<br />
All three events have many common factors, most notably that each one remains unexplained to this day. But one - the Greifswald incident - is the odd one out. This is because official documentation on the Pitlochry and Saint-Germain sightings collected by British and French governmental agencies are now available to the public after France and the UK took decisions to open up their UFO files.<br />
<br />
<strong>Some of the truth is out there</strong><br />
<br />
The British and French governments are among a select few in Europe to have declassified previously top secret files and experts believe that, while they may currently be in the minority in revealing their documents, they are certainly not alone in having recorded sightings.<br />
<br />
"The French released their UFO files through their space agency in 2007, Britain is mid-way through a 3-4 year program of revealing theirs under the Freedom of Information Act, while the Norwegians and the Danes have already released some files as have the Italians," Nick Pope, a former investigator of UFO reports and sightings with the British MoD and an expert on the topic, told Deutsche Welle. "The UFO phenomenon is a global phenomenon; there are unquestionably sightings all around the world so all European countries will certainly have had UFO sightings."<br />
<br />
Germany is one of the many European countries which have not declassified their UFO files. In fact, the German government refuses to even admit that it has any UFO files despite the fact that independent organizations record, on average, between 50 and 100 sightings a year in the skies over Germany. <br />
<br />
<strong>Germany among those remaining silent on UFO phenomena</strong><br />
<br />
"Germany has a high level of UFO sightings," Robert Fleischer, the coordinator for the German Initiative for Exopolitics, told Deutsche Welle. <br />
<br />
He said that, since 1974, over 500 so-called "real" UFO cases - reported sightings that, after careful consideration by specialized experts, cannot be related to any conventional information - have been recorded. <br />
<br />
"However, there has never been any official recognition by the German government relating to UFOs or UFO activity," Fleischer added. "So if the Germans were to open any files relating to UFOs, all we would find out is that they pass all their information to the Americans."<br />
<br />
Most UFO cases reported over Germany were only revealed when US files were made public. Germany's lack of UFO research is possibly due to the fact that "the US assumed that role after the end of World War II, although the Germans have never officially acknowledged this or any interest in UFOs," he said. <br />
<br />
<strong>European governments aware of unexplained sightings</strong><br />
<br />
So what do the files made public by the likes of France and Britain actually tell the public about the UFO phenomenon in Europe?<br />
<br />
"What these files don't say is almost more important than what they do say," said Nick Pope. "What they don't say is that we have proof that any of these things are extra-terrestrial. What they do say is that European governments have consistently had these things reported to them, sometimes by reliable witnesses such as police officers and pilots."<br />
<br />
Most of the sightings turn out to have conventional explanations, like the misidentification of all kinds of aeronautical and astronomical phenomena, but most European governments which have conducted investigations have found that about five percent of the cases cannot be explained, added Pope. <br />
<br />
While neither Nick Pope nor Robert Fleischer could guarantee that the initial European declassifications would eventually pressure all EU governments into opening their files, they both agreed that the revelations made public by those countries willing to divulge information could only improve research into a phenomenon that they believe is an issue for every nation.<br />
<br />
<strong>Partial declassification giving subject more credibility</strong><br />
<br />
"I think this disclosure will lead to a greater understanding of the UFO phenomenon," said Pope. "The release of these files shows that governments do have information and if they liaise with each other, we may get further down the line to explaining this mystery because they all have a little piece of the puzzle. Unfortunately liaison is not common in this field."<br />
<br />
However, the declassification may be discrediting some common UFO myths and lend credibility to sighting claims. <br />
<br />
"When you read about sightings in governmental files from all around Europe with testimonies from military pilots, commercial airline pilots, and radar reports which show these things performing maneuvers and speeds that are way beyond our capabilities, it changes the nature of the debate from an underground anomaly to a mainstream issue," said Pope,"and that has to be a good thing."<br />

</div>The sergeant, who has not been named, was off-duty when he saw the figures standing in a field near Silbury Hill, reports the Daily Telegraph.<br />
<br />
He stopped his car to investigate but says the trio ran away "faster than any man he had ever seen".<br />
<br />
The police officer said he heard the "the sound of static electricity" as he approached the figures who were all over 6ft tall with blond hair.<br />
<br />
The officer returned to his home in Marlborough, Wiltshire, and contacted paranormal experts and told them he had spotted a UFO.<br />
<br />
Crop circle researcher Andrew Russell, who is investigating the sighting on behalf of the officer, revealed how he described the close encounter.<br />
<br />
"He shouted to the figures who, at first, ignored him, not glancing at him. When he tried to enter the field they looked up and began running," he said.<br />
<br />
"He said: "They ran faster than any man I have ever seen. I'm no slouch but they were moving so fast. I looked away for a second and when I looked back they were gone.<br />
<br />
"I then got scared. The noise was still around but I got an uneasy feeling and headed for the car. For the rest of the day I had a pounding headache I couldn't shift"."<br />
<br />
Wiltshire Police has refused to comment on the incident, which happened in July, saying it is a "personal matter" for the officer involved.<br />
