Towards the end of last year, up in the skies above Scotland, an unusual unidentified flying object was witnessed by multiple people in Angus. A barrage of people witnessed what was described as a white light on December 29 at about 2 PM before mysteriously disappearing minutes later. It had many folks asking are ufos real.

It was described as being white in color and either a disk or wedge shaped in appearance. A barrel full of possible explanations had been hypothesized, everything from UFOs, lens flare, defective camera equipment, weird cloud formations to top-secret military fighter planes.

Well, the verdict is in. After considerable investigation, the British UFO research Association has identified the object as a moon dog. A moon dog is actually a type of ice cloud which is hardly ever seen.

Chairman Matt Lyons said: ”The sun setting and position of the moon at the time helped cause more illumination of ice crystals which are generally around in the higher part of the atmosphere, about the same height as air planes cruise at, around the 25-30,000 foot level.

”The official name for a moon dog is a paraselene if seen at 22 degrees. If the image is at 90, 120 or 140 degrees then it’s known as a parantiselene.”

Matt also mentioned that this was undoubtedly one of nature’s most rarest and beautiful sights and shapes in the sky.

Are UFOs Real

The sometimes vitriolic debate surrounding the topic of Are UFOs real will probably never end until definite evidence is presented to support or refute the question. The term Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) is self-explanatory, and strictly from the point of view of the meaning of the term, of course UFOs are real.

It would definitely stretch the imagination that none of us has ever encountered this phenomenon, where we cannot simply identify the flying object. That does not necessarily mean that UFOs come from extraterrestrial sources. It has been estimated that 90% to 95% of UFO sightings can be scientifically explained. However, there is the remaining 5% to 10% that triggers our vivid imagination.

Periodically, radars have managed to track UFOs and have found them to have the capability of performing maneuvers that can defy scientific knowledge (90 degree turns & instant elevation or deceleration), with such extreme disturbance and speed that the occupants of the UFO should have been killed instantly. At other times, visual sightings cannot be tracked by radar, leading to the possibility that some UFOs may possess far greater stealth technology than is presently possible.

In just the past few years, government officials and generally considered reliable individuals have stepped forward and emphatically gave an answer to the question of: Are UFOs real?

* Retired Colonel John Alexander spent twenty five years of his career assessing top government levels to ascertain the people responsible for UFO information and to see if there has ever been a government cover-up. His conclusion: There is no cover up since UFO information had already been disseminated throughout the years, starting initially with President Truman. Russian President Gorbachev himself declared that he had several of his generals attempt to convince him that UFOs are real. Colonel Alexander’s own assessment: UFOS are real, without any doubt or qualifications.

* The British government released 8,000 pages of formerly classified documents from its UFO Project and revealed that they cannot rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial existence.

* Former Canadian Defense Secretary Paul Hellyer publicly announced in 2005 that UFOs are as real as planes flying overhead.

* Lt. Colonel Phillip Corso claimed that his work on back engineering alien spacecraft parts recovered from the Roswell crash led to the creation of various high tech developments in the last 50 years.

Are UFOs real? The remarkably accurate Long Count calendar of the ancient Mayan civilization marks December 21 of 2012 as the end of a 5,126 year era. Apocalypse or will this be the day that aliens will formally introduce themselves and forever change the world as we know it?

Phoenix Lights

Phoenix Lights

On a clear spring evening on the 13th of March 1997 an incident in the sky over the American states of Arizona and Nevada, and the Mexican state of Sonora, gave rise to the phenomenon known as the ‘Phoenix Lights’ or ‘Lights over Phoenix’.  There was a lot of interest in the night sky that evening because Comet Hale-Bopp was expected to be visible to the naked eye.

However, star gazers witnessed a much more unusual event, a series of strange lights and unexplained shapes appeared in the clear evening sky.  From between 19:30 and 22:30 MST hundreds of reports were made to Police and Luke Air Force Base, describing unusual night illuminations across a 300 mile stretch between the Nevada state line, through to Phoenix and to the edge of Tucson.

The incident had two distinct events; a series of stationary lights were reported in the Phoenix area, as well as a large triangular light formation that moved across the sky.  The moving lights were described in various colors from bright red-orange, to amber, yellow and white.  They were arranged in a boomerang or V formation.  These lights were reported to move in unison, as if they were connected, and there appeared to be a solid structure encasing the lights because the immediate sky surrounding the object was blacked out.  Stationary lights were also reported to ‘hover’ for several hours before vanishing.  However, air-traffic controllers didn’t register any of the strange objects on their radar.  On February 6th 2007, a second incident of these strange lights was reported and on April 21, 2008 a third similar event was reported, all within the same geographical location.

Unfortunately documented photographic evidence of the first appearance of the Phoenix Lights is limited to a few images.  However, during the second incident in 2007, numerous still photographs and video images were collected.  These images clear show some form of craft moving across the night sky.

The Phoenix Lights have generated a range of conflicting explanations.  The V shaped formation has been explained as airplane lights.  Proponents argue that the lights observed on video tapes do not move as a single object, but are instead separate entities, often viewed as one due to illusory contours that force the human eye to view unconnected lines or dots as a single shape.  However, there were no known military or civilian aircraft formations flying in that location during the times the crafts were viewed.  The hovering stationary lights have been explained by American Air Force officials as slow-falling, long burning flares dropped during a series of training exercises at the Luke Air Force Base.  However, this explanation is also flawed as the timing of the fly-overs and subsequent flare drops doesn’t explain the earlier sightings, some of which occurred during daylight.

What also makes the Phoenix Lights incident bizarre was the lack of response from government officials.  Many citizens were alarmed by the events and demanded some type of immediate explanation.  However, it was only three months later following significant public pressure that a full investigation was announced.  Despite this investigation, there still lacks an adequate explanation that can fully account for the all the events associated with the Phoenix Lights.  Whether it was a result of some type of secret military training exercise or extraterrestrial visitors remains a mystery. Are ufos real, you decide.

Area 51 Aliens

Area 51 Aliens

Area 51, also known as Dreamland, was finally and superficially acknowledged by the U.S. government on July 14, 2003 with the vague concession that the USAF has an “operating location” in the near vicinity of Groom Lake. But to Area 51 Aliens aficionados, it is a secret airbase that is located within the Nevada Test and Training Range and situated 83 miles north-northwest of Las Vegas.

But purely from a location standpoint, how secret is this base? Even most school kids recognize the name, not to mention UFO researchers, and every military power in the world can legally demand to fly over the base upon request under the international “Open Skies Treaty”.

 

It is what transpires inside Area 51 that is the subject of much debate.

The extreme secrecy surrounding Area 51 is further compounded by exceedingly tight but mostly unseen security, rumored to be armed guards provided by the Wackenhut Corporation, under strict orders of shoot to kill. The Board of Directors of the Wackenhut Corporation includes well known intelligence officials, such as Frank Carlucci (former deputy CIA Director), Admiral Bobby Ray Inman (Former deputy CIA Director among other titles) and William Casey (former CIA Director). However, reconnaissance satellites have captured images of the base and can easily be viewed online.

Nevertheless, Area 51 Aliens have remained the key point of discussion as the 1947 Roswell alien incident has been repeatedly recounted and analyzed. To this date, there is still no absolute proof that the Roswell incident actually involved the presence of “aliens”, who were rumored to have been deceased upon the “UFO” crash. But incidental anecdotes prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that something, possibly sinister, is occurring inside the well defended walls of Area 51.

With the CIA recently starting to declassify some top secret programs undergone within the base, some former Area 51 workers have stepped forward with their stories about their time spent at the base, giving a glimpse into the top secret operations to Area 51 Aliens/UFO researchers and the general public.

* Thornton “T.D.” Barnes: Former special projects engineer at Area 51 As a NASA electronics engineer, he worked on the first rocket plane, the X-15, and also participated in the development of the A-12 Oxcart, which can go up to speeds of 2,200 MPH at 90,000 feet and only flashing lights can be seen due to the high speed. Barnes contended that this contributed to the notion that Area 51 was an extraterrestrial safe haven. He personally did not witness any aliens, alien spacecraft or underground facilities.

* Harry A. Martin: Former fueling supervisor for the spy planes He did not observe anything out of the ordinary

* James Noce: No report of aliens either, but he recounted an event that could have compared to the Roswell incident. After the crash of an A-12s, he flew to the crash scene and encountered a local sheriff’s deputy and a vacationing family that had taken pictures. The witnesses were told not to discuss the incident to anyone or suffer dire consequences. Large sums of money were also offered to the deputy and the family.

Although no evidence was presented to either confirm or deny the existence of Area 51 Aliens, Stanton T. Friedman, a nuclear physicist who had previously worked on highly classified projects noted that highly classified also meant highly compartmentalized and that only individuals directly involved with “aliens” would have any knowledge in that respect.

The only person to have made a claim of working directly with alien spacecraft is Bob Lazar, a former physicist at a facility designated as “S-4″ at Area 51. After his 1989 declaration, all of his employment and school records mysteriously disappeared.

 

Latest development in the Area 51 Aliens saga:

In 2010, the Labor Department declared that former Department of Energy employees who worked at Area 51 between January 1, 1958 and December 31, 1999 will be eligible for compensation due to exposure to toxic materials at the facility. The DOE controlled Area 51 until 1999 and lawsuits have been filed.

Will this finally provide the proper answer to Alien 51 observers about the existence or non-existence of aliens on earth and are ufos real?
