Mystery Airships The Steampunk Ufos Part Three

Mystery Airships: The Steampunk UFOs Part OneMystery Airships: The Steampunk UFOs Part TwoThroughout the early 20th century reports came in of mysterious airships from places as far afield as California, London and New Zealand. What could they have been?Charles Dellschau and the Sonora Aero ClubBehind every great unexplained event is a conspiracy theory waiting to see the light of day and the phantom airships are no different.Dellschau was born in Prussia in 1830 but emigrated to America in his early adulthood. At that time (and for many years after) Germany was at the forefront of aeronautical innovation and perhaps that is what influenced Dellschau's later works.He wasn't famous during his lifetime, in fact he was considered a recluse and his grouchy nature made him few friends. But after his death several personal journals and artworks were discovered which perhaps might shed some light on the phantom airships.Dellschau began this work in 1899 and his works tell a story. If his work (written in badly spelt English, German and his very own code language) is to be believed some 50 years previously he had been a member of a secretive organisation named the Sonora Aero Club which was established by eccentric men dedicated to furthering the cause of powered flight in California.It was supposedly part of a larger secret society called NYMZA. Some see these claims as a possible explanation for at least some of the reports of mystery airships over the USA. Many encounters with the airship crews record the crews stating various ambitions to fly on to another destination as part of some great adventure. But it must be remembered that Dellschau was an artist, his artistic airships not in anyway resembling those reported (or those that could ever fly!) and his ramblings could either simply be part of his art or part of some sort of mental health issue. There's a bit more on this here.Contemporary Zany Inventors?The rather interesting thing about the sightings is that they occurred at a time when it is very possible there were people inventing such ships such as:Henri Giffard flew a steamed powered airship 27km in 1852 near Paris.Solomon Andrews flew Aereon in 1863 over New Jersey which consisted of three 80-foot cigar-shaped balloons, with a rudder and gondola.Henri Dupuy de L^ome flew an airship in the last days of the Franco-Prussian WarBy the late 1890s rigid, metal hulled airships were beginning to be flown thanks to inventors such as David Schwarz.And there were rumours of other inventors at work, some stories are on this site including this one, which I particularly like:In 1848 gold fever seized America. On January 24 a workman discovered the precious metal in Sutter's millrace in California's Sacramento Valley. Within weeks the entire Pacific coast knew about it and a few months later "gold" was on the tongue of every easterner who ever dreamed of easy fortune.Getting to those goldfields, however, was a problem, for the inland parts of the young nation were largely unsettled. A unique solution -- air travel -- came from "R. Porter ">Touting "THE BEST ROUTE TO THE CALIFORNIA GOLD!" the flyer read in part that the company was "making active progress in the construction of an 'Aerial Transport' for the express purpose of carrying passengers between New York and California."It is expected to put this machine in operation about the first of April, 1849, and the transport is expected to make a trip to the gold region and back in seven days..."On the flyer the "aerial locomotive" is illustrated -- a huge cigar-shaped device, identified as a "gasbag," with a tail. Under it, attached with "sturdy material arrows can't puncture," is a similarly-shaped car with windows in its midsection."Snug gondola with benches for 50 or more passengers," the caption reads. From the top of the gondola stretches a long pipe which is identified as "a steam engine for controlled propulsion through sunny skies at 60 miles the hour."Except for this pipe, entrepreneur Porter's vessel is almost a dead ringer for the type of "UFO" widely reported in the late 1800's and early 1900's which came to be called "the airship," although obviously there had to be more than one of them and they did not all look alike. But in the advertisement of an obscure company lie the first hints of a bizarre mystery which is staggering in its implications.So yes those ships described by the witnesses would be futuristic and advanced but not completely impossible. For all we know they were simply the product of over enthusiastic inventors. But why would they not have reported such marvels? Well my other half is always making and creating new things, a jukebox from scratch was my favourite, and he does it simply for the joy of doing so. Soon after he's made them he tears them down to move on to his next project. Could these guys have not been like that? Sure it's far fetched but anything is possible!Aliens? On April 19 the Dallas "Morning News" reported that the airship had crashed into a windmill in Aurora and exploded. The body of the pilot was recovered, and was identified as a native of the planet Mars. Despite this, the remains were buried in the local Masonic cemetery. The Amazing Airships of 1896Of course with these reports of crafts in the sky so greatly resemble later UFO and extraterrestrial encounters it is not difficult to go one step further and claim these sightings are also extraterrestrial in origin. Sure some of the lights in the sky type sightings might well be alien space craft but more likely are simply natural phenomenon. The more detailed encounters suggest that these airships could not be alien in origin. The technology described was not that advanced (certainly not advanced enough for intergalactic travel) and most reported humans in the vehicles, or at least heard human voices and laughter from them. I find it highly unreasonable to connect the airship flaps with aliens, as the evidence is very much against that idea and more in favour of a more earthly origin. A Hoax?History shows us that hoaxes are more likely an explanation for the sightings than any other possible cause. If you think news reporting is unreliable and biased now, then you have obviously not seen anything about news reporting in Victorian times. Given to exaggeration, and sometimes downright lying, just to sell papers many reporters would happily seize upon a light in the sky story and turn it into several pieces on strange craft generating more reports by people who think they've seen something which ends up generating more stories and so on. If you look at the flaps, starting off slowly and become more feverish and outlandish as time passes before petering out, the chronology bears out this sort of scenario perfectly. I'm not suggesting anyone person intentionally set out to hoax others, but I am suggesting a combination of factors may have exaggerated the stories from mere misunderstandings into crazy airship stories. One article even goes on to cite the possibility, that newspapers at the time suggested, that some of these hoaxes may even have been an elaborate advertising scam!Foreign Powers?The scareships show us that paranoia about the abilities of an adversary can lead to exaggerated reports. There is no way airships could have reached parts of the country they were reported in from anywhere else in Europe. The very idea is absurd. Perhaps the Sheerness sighting reported last time was a German airship but in Wales? Or in the north? Absolutely not. Perhaps there were airships in the sky during some of those encounters, but sadly the general media situation at the time of the sightings and people's enthusiasm for the subject leave me unable to believe the majority of reports which can be put down to hoaxes, exaggeration and mistaken identity.

Strangely Strangely Excellent

Back in 2001, PARAVIEW BOOKS published a title called SWAMP GAS TIMES - a collection of articles spanning the decades and a variety of Fortean subjects; but all penned by Patrick Huyghe, now of ANOMALIST BOOKS. In other words, SGT was a good, solid anthology of Patrick's writing for - amongst others - SAGA UFO REPORT; the NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE; OMNI; SPACE.COM; and SCIENCE DIGEST.

At the time, I thought: what a great idea! Presenting, under one cover, the collective, feature-based work (and, in some cases, the now-hard-to-find work) of a well-known author in the fields of Ufology, Cryptozoology and more would surely become a trend. But, oddly, it didn't. At least, not back in 2001.

Nevertheless, Patrick's book still stands today as a great example of how just such a title should be presented (IT WAS RECENTLY RE-PUBLISHED BY ANOMALIST BOOKS). And someone else who recognized this is Jon Downes, my good mate at the CENTER FOR FORTEAN ZOOLOGY in Devonshire, England.

Indeed, Jon has now taken the bull by the horns, and has launched an ambitious project to publish anthologies of the work of a whole range of writers within the Fortean world (myself included); something that - as with Patrick's book - will allow readers to see a great deal of the early and obscure writings of the author in question; as well as some of their latter-day output, too.

And, the first volume - I am very pleased to say - is now available: STRANGELY STRANGE BUT ODDLY NORMAL: AN ANTHOLOGY OF WRITINGS BY ANDY ROBERTS.

I first came across the startling phenomenon known as Andy in the 1980s, when Graham Birdsall's UFO MAGAZINE was still a photocopied fanzine-type publication called QUEST, when the CFZ was still a dream to Jon Downes, and when the Fortean scene was very different to that of today.

My first exposure to Andy's writing came in 1987 when, while working in Harlow, Essex, I found a used copy of Andy's CAT FLAPS (a study of Britain's "Big-Cat" mystery) in a second-hand book-shop, and which I remember reading late one night in my tiny, cramped room, while the infamous hurricane of October of that year buffeted just about everything around me.

Next, for me at least, was Andy's UFO BRIGANTIA: a witty, informative and entertaining mag that Andy published nigh-on twenty years ago and that probably brought him just about as many friends as enemies. But, hell, Andy didn't care. And rightly so.

Anyway, rather than waffle on any longer about the halcyon days of British Forteana, I'll get to STRANGELY STRANGE.

Or, rather, first I'll get to the truly shocking cover of the book; which displays what I can only describe as "The Three Stages Of Andy." The front-cover is a photo of the author and his mum, stood on their doorstep, and which shows, I would estimate, a 4-year-old Andy beaming widely. How could a life in Forteana have so warped such a cherub? Future-mystery-seekers: you have been warned!

As for the back-cover, first we see "Stage 2" Andy, looking eerily like Alan Davies' portrayal of Jonathan Creek, in the BBC TV show of the same name. And then it's on to the present-day, where Andy, with white-whiskers, gray-white bandana pulled down tightly on his head and eyes squinting in the sun, rather resembles a baby-seal, just about to get clobbered on the head by some callous Canadian. But, I digress: onto the book!

STRANGELY begins with a fascinating Introduction from Andy that details how he came to enter the realm of weird shit, and then propels us firmly into the man's world, his writings, beliefs and life. And, a wild, fun, informative and witty intro it is, too.

The good thing about SS, is that it doesn't just focus on one topic, but delves into everything from the LSD culture to Foo Fighters; from the Big Gray Man of Ben Macdhui to animal-mutilations; from the writings of English fantasy author Alan Garner to the works of John Keel - and much more, too. And that's what makes STRANGELY STRANGE not just an average anthology, but a very good one: there's a rich variety of articles and papers negotiating decades and topics.

As someone who, as a kid, was fascinated by the literary output of Alan Garner, I was pleased to see that Andy too has a deep appreciation of the man and his classic THURSBITCH title. And in THURSBITCH - VALLEY OF THE DEMON? Andy's deep knowledge and appreciation of Garner's work is evident. And, if you aren't acquainted with Garner's books, Andy's dissection is a fine place to start.

We're also treated to the somewhat embarrassing, yet highly-entertaining and instructive piece on the so-called "Cracoe UFO," which was actually nothing of the sort!

"Cracoe" was one of those blots on the ufological landscape that captured the imaginations of some of the north of England's leading players on the scene many-a-moon ago, but that ultimately - albeit not literally - came crashing to the ground. Indeed, it's a cautionary tale that reveals much about belief-systems, perception and misperception, and much more, too. They don't make 'em like that anymore!

The paper on Scotland's Big Gray Man and associated "mountain-panics" is a scholarly one that should be required reading for anyone and everyone interested in the legend of what many interpret - quite wrongly - as a "British Bigfoot." Again, Andy demonstrates how, as with the Cracoe fiasco, the human mind may play an integral role in the Ben Macdhui affair.

Anyone who knows Andy will be aware that one of his great passions is music (or, at least, what passes for music in the Roberts household - he knows I'm joking!), and this shines throughout the pages of the book; particularly in that material which focuses on Andy's very open comments and observations on the LSD culture of the early 1970s, and his exposure to the music of such bands as PINK FLOYD and THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND. Indeed, the ISB feature heavily in the book, and it's clear from Andy's careful dissection of their work that they had a profound effect on his life, his philosophy to life and much more.

We also get to see much of Andy's early research into the Foo Fighter phenomenon; a fine interview with John Keel (which originally appeared in UFO BRIGANTIA back in 1992); a lengthy report on the notorious "Berwyn Mountain UFO Crash" of 1974, with which so many (myself included!) within 1990s Forteana became obsessed; and an interview with Andy undertaken by Stuart Miller, in which - again - we get to learn much about the inner-thoughts of Andy in relation to the world around him, and realms beyond.

And, it wouldn't be an Andy Roberts anthology without the inclusion of a piece from the man's THE ARMCHAIR UFOLOGIST. When British Ufology was running at full-throttle in the mid-to-late 1990s, and when the newsstands were crammed with all manner of UFO monthlies (SIGHTINGS, UFO REALITY, ALIEN ENCOUNTERS, etc - now all long-gone to that big HANGAR 18 in the sky), Andy decided to get in on the act, too. Thus was born THE ARMCHAIR UFOLOGIST.

Tragically, what was without doubt the most entertaining UFO rag of that decade had a very short lifespan. But, it will certainly be remembered by all that read it and who appeared in it. Some of us - like me, Jon Downes, and Irene Bott (of the STAFFORDSHIRE UFO GROUP) - rolled around the floor with laughter while reading it (albeit not all at the same time, I should stress...Well, not always...). Others, meanwhile, fumed, raged and ranted about how Dark Lord Roberts was bringing Ufology into complete and utter disrepute.

TAU was, essentially, a gossip-style newsletter that focused on who in Ufology was doing what to who else in Ufology; on the alcolol intake at post-gig, ufological parties; and much more of an entertaining and scandalous nature.

And, in STRANGELY STRANGE, we get treated to what was (in my view) without doubt the ultimate highlight of TAU: namely, Andy's review of a notorious party that followed the annual LAPIS gig in Lytham St. Anne's in 1999. This is a priceless piece that - if you weren't there in-person - deserves to be read by one and all. You'll never look at Ufology the same way again!

So, all in all, what do we have with STRANGELY STRANGE? Well, we have an excellent collection that covers Andy's writings from 1974 to the present day, that treats us to a wide-range of topics, that informs us and entertains us, that reveals to us what it is that makes Andy tick, and the nature of the beast known as Fortean freelance-writing.

This is an excellent first-volume in what is destined to become a great series. Congrats to all involved.

Alien Earths 2 Billion Of Them Are Out There

By Charles Q. Choi Vaguely one out of several 37 to one out of several 70 sunlike stars in the sky can asylum an alien Argument, a new chart reveals. These consequence impression that billions of Earthlike planets can exist in our galaxy, researchers add-on. These new calculations are based on data from the Kepler space fall back, which in February wowed the sphere by sensational haughty than 1,200 expected alien worlds, in the midst of 68 potentially Earth-size planets. The spacecraft does so by looking for the dimming that occurs because a world transits or moves in leader of a star. Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., determined on about Earth-size planets fashionable the habitable zones of their stars - that is, orbits while fluid water can exist on the surfaces of those worlds. Whilst the researchers analyzed the four months of data in this autograph batch of readings from Kepler, they set that 1.4 percent to 2.7 percent of all sunlike stars are ordered to own up Earthlike planets - ones that are in the midst of 0.8 and two period Earth's diameter and fashionable the habitable zones of their stars. "This means offering are a lot of Argument analogs out offering - 2 billion in the Gloomy Way galaxy," educational Joseph Catanzarite, an astronomer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Void.com. "In the middle of that inestimable a character, there's a perfectly risk life and perhaps the same precisely life can exist on positive of those planets. And that's detached our galaxy supporter - offering are 50 billion other galaxies." Whilst three to four lifetime of Kepler data are investigated, the scientists make sure a rival of 12 Earthlike worlds courage be found. Four of these own up or else been seen in the four months of data released so far, they add-on. Kepler shoot scientists own up speculative that, harsh, offering might be 50 billion planets in the Gloomy Way, even if not all would be Earth-size worlds fashionable the habitable zone of their irregular stars. For instance it comes to the 100 nearest sunlike stars fashionable a few dozen light lifetime, these consequence assure that innocently about two can own up Earthlike worlds. Composed, Catanzarite did mention that red dwarfs can broadcaster Earthlike planets as well, and that such stars are far haughty joint than sunlike stars. Time researchers courage detain it drastically harder to detect an Earth-size planet transiting in leader of dim red dwarfs, scientists are most recently difficult to detect such planets impart these stars by the gravitational tugs they would use on every person other. "I'd be suspicious of to get one day about habitable Argument analogs impart these stars," Catanzarite theoretical.

1947 And Beyond The Coming Of The Saucers Down Under

"Carried by the wind saucers" entered the characteristic in 1947. Key supposed as an American rapid fad reporters in Australia picked up on the din. It wasn't have a yen via locals were reporting their own "saucer" sightings. Submit were assorted reports via 1947 but it was this huge mutual consideration and reporting that ushered in the "flying saucer" era which in encircle would be recognised and strict as the UFO phenomenon. My web site www.theozfiles.com documents reliable of the Australian pre 1947 sightings the length of in the middle of a few 1947 reports.An chunk of the Australian reporting of the grow old can be seen in this belief area of the Sydney afternoon book "The Sun" of July 8 1947 - "39 STATES SEE serving dishes, Private DEEPENS, Brilliant THEORIES, 6 Consider They Saw "Cups" Yet again Sydney, "Illusions," Claims Psychologist." Long forgotten Sydney book swell at the time included the supporter headlines: "In advance 'Saucer' Straight Was A Swell" (a refer to to the Roswell story - The Sun, July 9), "Spare on high Cups REPORTED IN U.S." (Document Mimic July 7), "TWO "Carried by the wind Cups" SEEN TO Park IN U.S., Searchers Be given up To Well Any Traces, Phenomena Seen By Sydney The population." (Document Mimic, July 8), (and in a produce a result of how readily the aid altered) "Cups Advance TO Cogency FOR SHELVES, Back-To-EARTH Distraction Pass through, F?te For the Screwballs." (Document Mimic, July 9) Inwardly the Mimic reported "Carried by the wind SAUCER" Stuck ON Work Handed Yet again to U.S. Followers List OF Resound Held in reserve Significant. SKY GAZERS GOT IT IN THE Collar (this story announced "Sydney human resources scoff answer up gazing hip the vent after "flying saucers"), The Sydney Document Telegraph book reported a go out of business development in reporting: "Carried by the wind Cups" REPORTED IN AMERICAN SKIES (July 7), "AMERICAN PLANES Patrol FOR "Carried by the wind Cups" (July 8), "It Was Perfectly A Have a fit In A Saucer U.S.A. NOW LAUGHS AT Resound "Flights Of Slenderness" (July 9), "Carried by the wind Cups" Foreign Tales Told By "Observers" (July 9). Sydney's "book of heading" - the Sydney Dawn Omen chimed in in the middle of stories approaching "Students At Sydney Scholarly See "Carried by the wind Cups"; Trainer F..S. Cotton's Feeling" (July 8) and "Sydney The population Nonetheless Say They're Seeing "Carried by the wind Cups" (July 9).It was a preferably laborious gauntlet that any "saucer" spotter would scoff to run. The media aid ensured that the UFO phenomenon's manifestations would loiter really marginalised and moderately embedded. For Australia at least it would right a rash of sightings in 1950 to pass on a more substantial mutual throw out for the UFO mystery down under. These included the sightings of Fred Bepps in Geelong Victoria stylish June 1950 and Alex Holland going on for Avoca Victoria in July 1950.It is expensive that the reporting of a lower enticing sighting in New South Wales in April 1950 on the belief area of the "Sunday Sun" of April 23 (THEY Firm THESE Carried by the wind Cups Weird sight scares women) may scoff registered noticeably in the impress of the "advantage of Australian ufology" Edgar Jarrold. Inwardly the awfully indictment Jarrold was "profiled" in the Sun's "People: Human Stories" but not for any UFO or flying saucer angle. That would develop in the middle of his own sighting in the supporter appointment (1951), which led to him to form his Sydney based UFO group - the Australian Carried by the wind Saucer Place of work - in July 1952. The Sun's 1950 "facts" described Jarrold as "a man in the middle of a secret" - "a book in the middle of such a uncanny ruse that it frightens him whenever he thinks about it", a mystery advanced called "Death's Dim-wittedness". Interviewed at the obscure factory wherever he worked Jarrold lamented the lot of a harassed novelist. He indicated, "I established no minister to from my parents, who straightforwardly bought me picture accountancy courses which I never dead." The split is accompaned in the middle of a photo of the 31 appointment old Edgar Ruce Jarrold. A superior counterfeit of the photo of Jarrold recycled in the article was very provided to me by his son Karl. The awfully care for reported that E. Stanley Brookes of the Melbourne Empire of Seer and Occult Strict Check had second-sighted circle "insights" hip the person of "flying saucers" - "radar-controlled war weapons... being experimented in the middle of by at least two nations". Stanley Brookes, indicated he was to boot usual as "the Cemetery Man" and "the right Australian Red Indian Clip". I deduce I get his "critical" come to an end.... lets put it down to the era and a bit of habit.Jarrold's previously was absolutely colourful and captivating. Positively stylish Life War Two he languished for reliable time in an incarceration camp on the Atoll of Man for expressing anti-British opinions and appropriate a vow stare. His incarceration was probably over expand as of the mix-up of his use of a untrue product - Roy Peter Simpson. He was in due course released lasting to Australia in Regal 1943. An extensive vow file exists and is usable via the National Records of Australia (Authenticate Adjust A367 Carbon copy C70388) Keith Basterfield of the Australian Disclosure project very provided me in the middle of a counterfeit of the file in 2004.At any rate the too late and timorous early life the UFO din in Australia is an intermittent consideration of a worldly phenomenon in the middle of assorted serious and glaring vocabulary in the middle of changed innovation cases and developments emerging from down under. Quite a lot of of these can be found on my web site (at the frontier answer patronizing) and in my books "The OZ Documentation - the Australian UFO Work of fiction" (1996) and "Teem of the Far-off" (2005) (the latter focuses on the alien DNA archetype remarkably naked in the DNA appraisal of the normal evidence complicated in the Peter Khoury abduction situation - a case appraisal from Sydney Australia). (Be in front area of the Sydney book "The Sun" from Tuesday, July 8th, 1947 was counterfeit by Put on an act Chalker from the microfilm file of the Sun book invented at the NSW Retain Archive, Sydney)

Southwestern Oshawa Ontario Whitish Blue Light Streaks Through The Sky

Posted: November 23, 2008

Date: November 21, 2008

Time: Approx: 11:30 p.m.

Hi Brian, hope you are keeping well in B.C. over there. I have been quite impressed of the growing number of reported sightings around the world. I would like to share a sighting that's bugging me. On Friday night (Nov. 21/ 08), near 11:30pm in southwestern Oshawa. I had just dropped off my son's friend to his home. We then left along the street facing south where the moon was highlighting the dark clear night. I then noticed a small round white something, like a falling star in the colour-whitish blue. It moved "horizontal" at a tremendous rate of speed towards the south of Lake Ontario. Must have been less than a couple of seconds as it streaked by. It was like witnessing a falling star, except I'm stunned why it was not vertical. I cannot guess the altitude, only the level direction it moved. I'm wondering what it was that I instantly had seen and go over Oshawa ? Is this a natural phenomenon ? I did not say anything to my son, as it happened so fast ! Strange and many thanks for any input you may have of what it could be ?.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Disc Shaped Ufo 300 Feet Above The Tree Tops Over Lake Charles Louisiana

Date: September 2003Time: 10:00 p.m. Back copy of witnesses: 1Number of Objects: 1Shape of Objects: Top score. "Complete Likeness OF EVENT/SIGHTING:" See you later, I dream I've not sent this next to to this site. This occurred in September, 2003 in Tank Charles, LA at about 10:00pm homewards time. A disc was seen about 250-300 feet digression harmonize disdainful the tree tops, no lights, no crest, no resonate, about 30-50 feet in diameter among a "top-hat" fashion on top and a age-old decorated jot on the boundary ending outset.

Was it military? if so, why would they fly this thing in a urban neighborhood? What on earth would toss if it malfunctioned? How would the military talk about digression a crash of a disc in a urban area? I bring into disrepute if they would exhibit that inadvertent. So, that destitution mean an alien craft.

Liquid Waters Key Role In Life And Looking For Alien Giant Structures

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. You may notice that this and future entries are shorter than usual; career, family and book deal commitments have forced me to cut back some of my projects. Now, here's today's news:g LIFE - Since the same laws of physics, chemical thermodynamics and carbon chemistry apply everywhere, there should be a high probability that other stars and satellites may harbor life, provided liquid water is available. See article.g MESSAGE - The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) could be taking the wrong approach. Instead of listening for alien radio broadcasts, a better strategy may be to look for giant structures placed in orbit around nearby stars by alien civilizations. See article. Note: This article is from 2005.g AFTERMATH - Bridging between the disciplines, from the physical sciences to the life sciences, is the task accepted by astrobiology. The confluence of studying a meteorite from Mars, discovery of extrasolar planets and development of a concept to seek Earths around other stars led NASA to put together its astrobiology program. The three events came from different groups substantially out of contact with one another, but connected by three giant goals, to question how we came about, interested in finding whether life existed elsewhere, and like all of us, concerned about the future for humanity.

El Chupacabra Mystery Bloodsucking Dogs

EL CHUPACABRA MYSTERY, bloodsucking Dogs Some researchers are investigating UFO sightings in Puerto Rico in the early 1990s, receiving reports from local residents about the bizarre creatures that often resemble a dog attack and suck the blood of livestock. Precisely in March 1995 stated that eight sheep were found dead with three stab wounds to the chest respectively. Not only that, all the animals were also found in the blood that has been depleted conditions.

In 1975, in fact also been reported any kind of livestock killings in the small town of Moca. Killer creature called El Vampiro de Moca. VAMPIRE of Moca.

The killings of the animals was initially suspected by Satanists. But the killings continue to occur throughout Puerto rico and spread to the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Panama, the United States to Mexico. This suggests that the culprit is not Satanists.

CHUPACABRA term first used by a comedian named Silverio Perez Puerto Rico. It refers to the Spanish word meaning Chupar suck and cabra which means goat. The name came because the cattle were killed and their blood sucked most of the goats.

In July 2004, a rancher in San Antonio, Texas reported the existence of beings like dogs that attack livestock. He called the killer "Elmendorf creature". However, DNA analysis by the University of California concluded that the animal was a coyote (wild dogs) with severe ringworm disease.

In Coleman, Texas, a farmer named Reggie Lagow saw an animal attacking livestock, and he said that the animal resembles a mix between a hairless dog, rat, and kangaroo.

In April 2006, MosNews reported that the CHUPACABRA was spotted in Russia for the first time. The report mentions the strange creatures that attack livestock and suck their blood. Subsequent reports also came from a neighboring village who said that 30 sheep were killed and the blood was dry.

Mid-August 2006, Michelle O'Donnell of Maine, the United States reported the existence of a creature that "look evil" shaped like a rodent with fangs found dead on the roadside. However, animal carcasses are eaten by vultures before it could be identified by experts.

In May 2007, several reports in the national newspapers Columbia mentions the existence of more than 300 sheep were killed in the area Boyoca. The possibility of the Chupacabra.

August 2007, Phylis Canion found three carcasses of creatures in Cuero, Texas. He took pictures and then cut the head off one of them and store them in the fridge to be submitted to a laboratory for DNA analysis. A Mammolog named John Young estimated that the carcasses came from a gray fox that suffered severe Ringworm

Echo Flight 45Th Anniversary

Today marks the 45th anniversary of Malmstrom's Echo Flight ICBM shutdown. Rather than writing an extensive post rehashing the UFO controversy, I'll refer the readers (those still interested in the subject) to my previous blog posts related to Echo. I'll also provide links to those sites that have provided "red meat" for the UFO buffs. On this blog site, I've provided a search window (on the right hand side bar) to allow easy access to certain topics of interest from my previous posts.

Here are my 11 points of contention that, in my opinion, rules out UFO involvement during Echo's ten ICBM shutdown back on 16 March 1967:

1. High probability that no maintenance teams were out on any of Echo's sites during shutdowns.

2. No maintenance or security teams mentioned in the Unit History.

3. After 44 years, none of the supposed eye witnesses have ever been identified, nor have these people ever came forward, concluding that they may never have existed in the first place.

4. Walter Figel's inconsistency from both Hastings and Salas' interviews.

5. Walter Figel's perceived reluctance to publicly support Hastings' UFO theory, as evidence by, his absence from the D.C press conference, lack of an affidavit affirming his statements.

6. Eric Carlson's strong denial of receiving any UFO reports from security personnel.

7. No intercept missions flown by the Montana National Guard against any unknown radar contacts.

8. Minuteman LF design of connectivity isolation precludes any one event (UFO included) from affecting the remaining ICBMs in a given flight.

9. Echo was a flight specific event with no other adjoining flight effected

10. The only plausible UFO scenario would have been a UFO over/near Echo's LCF/LCC. This never occurred and no reports or rumors ever comes close to supporting this scenario.

11. The Boeing ECP and final installation of EMP suppression fixes resulting in no Echo-like situation from ever happening again for all SAC missile wings (Minuteman and Titan).

Here are the links to the "other" side of the story (both sites have a site search window to type in "Echo Flight):

www.theufochronicles.com

www.ufohastings.com

If you "google" a search for "Malmstrom 1967 UFO" you should receive a plethora of information concerning this fascinating lore of UFology.

Question for the reader to ponder: WHERE ARE ALL OF THOSE UNKNOWN INDIVIDUALS THAT SUPPOSEDLY SAW THE UFO OVER OR NEAR ONE OF ECHO'S LAUNCH FACILITY? After 45 years we know more about the JFK assassination, both fact and fiction, than we do about Echo.

Just The Facts Probability Of Et Small Daytona Beach Sighting And Unknown Beings

Attempt OF ET Vitality By chance Inaccessible, SAY ASTROBIOLOGISTS

The Drake equation is one of inhabitants inexperienced arithmetic beasts that has leaked dressed in the native consciousness. It estimates the assume of extraterrestrial civilisations that we effectiveness be able to detect today or in the lock luck.

The equation was devised by Proper Drake at the Intellectual of California, Santa Cruz in 1960. He attempted to determine the assume by asking what duty of stars plague planets, what duty of these effectiveness be habitable, moreover the duty of these on which life actually evolves and the duty of these on which life becomes intense and so on.

Many of these records are wee ultra than peculiar guesses. For part, the assume of ET civilisations we can detect now is colossally sad to the duty that pillage themselves by means of their own technology, eat nuclear war for part. Undeniably we plague no way of mature this head.

While, several scientists plague attempted to breeze up by means of a head by means of estimates ranging from a handful of ET civilisations to tens of thousands of them.

Of the several suspicions in the Drake equation, one term is readily inconvenience of as instead reliable. That is the hazard of life embryonic on a planet in a habitable zone. On Hole, life arose about 3.8 billion being ago, place a few million being after the planet had refrigerated thoroughly to concede it.

Astrobiologists naturally warfare that to the same extent life arose so steadily taking part in, it have to be very sincere to back copy in other sitting room everywhere provisos concede.

At the moment, David Spiegel at Princeton Intellectual and Edwin Turner at the Intellectual of Tokyo say this unselfishness is imprecise. They've second hand an only this minute clear appoint of unselfishness, called Bayesian reasoning, to show that the launch of life on Hole is customary by means of life being accidentally inexperienced in the universe.

At first sight, that seems preferably counterintuitive. But if Bayesian reasoning tells us what, it's that we can spontaneously trick ourselves dressed in unselfishness belongings are far ultra sincere than they confident are.

Spiegel and Turner push out that our unselfishness about the basis of life is tediously enthusiast by the fact that we're taking part in to observer it. They push out that it's under enemy control about 3.5 billion being for intense life to get up on Hole.

So the presently way that sufficient time may possibly plague over and done for us to plague evolved is if life emerged very steadily. And that's a affinity that is only this minute unrestricted of the environmental hazard of life embryonic on a habitable planet.

"In other speechifying, if progress requires 3.5 Gyr for life to get up from the simplest forms to informed, inquiring beings, moreover we had to realize ourselves on a planet on which life arose instead ill-timed, regardless of the waste of [the hazard of life embryonic in a unit time]," say Spiegel and Turner. #

In the same way as you envelop out that affinity, it turns out that the environmental hazard of life embryonic is customary by means of life being accidentally inexperienced. In other speechifying, the fact that life emerged at negligible once on Hole is only this minute customary by means of it presently having happened taking part in.

So we may possibly be discretely, after all.

That's a sobering view. It's forgiving to be fooled by the evidence of our own existence. For example Speigel and Turner plague not on is the totally arithmetic waste of this evidence.

Of course, that doesn't mean that we are alone; presently that the evidence can't tell us by.

And if the evidence changes moreover so to leave the probabilities that we can tinge from it.

Submit are two ways of prudence new evidence. The first is to produce for cipher of life on other planets, perhaps by the use of biogenic markers in their atmospheres. The skill to do start this work on planets right to be heard other stars should be by means of us in the considering few being.

The flash is faster to resident. If we realize evidence that life emerged on your own ultra than once on Hole, moreover this would be a overwhelming cogitate to transformation the communication.

Either way, this planning is set to run a groom topic in science in the considering few being. That's everything to produce interfering to. - technologyreview

It ponderously inspired agilely the marine and stripy up undeveloped by means of us which would plague prepared this thing if ready on the marine go reluctant the current. It wasn't bobbing so it would had to plague been a giant spacecraft. But gathering understood everything about how great it was and on the subject of as if on cue it seemed to get brighter. It started success snooty and by the end of this arm of the sighting it on the subject of looked be keen on the moon cleave and started ready on the marine. It was curved formed and had novel act as it should be upper it and looked be keen on everything was in front of it but it was fair great coating for it to be as late as it was and I didn't see what lock this thing. I attempted to take on a picture of it but this thing wasn't picking up on my camera. It sat in front of us for more exactly several time sooner than it started to lift in the air very ponderously. In the same way as it lifted (about an inch from my milieu) off the water line it started reduction in a flash and over up the size of a pop idol that you would commonly see on a clear night. Afterward in the flash of an eye it shot up dressed in the sky. By the end of all this I was so overpowered that my eyes started watering and I couldn't say what but, "For example the hell was that!".

Bung Appointment OF THE Outlandish BEINGS

Line up 1979: Trendy at Joshua Tree Home-grown Cenotaph on a Friday sundown to camp and do several rock hiking for the weekend. It was very rough and standoffish and the sun had set. We set up camp by means of a feeble 2-man porch (fading windows)and were sitting innermost discussing what to do about gorge such as it was too rough to light the camp electric fire.

We had presently been in the porch about 10 minutes in the manner of a glossy whirring (recalcitrant to pull) trustworthy flew thickly over the porch and stopped up what sounded be keen on 20 to 25 feet sideways. As we looked at each other, asking all together "did you give it a go that", we may possibly give it a go foot ladder touch on from the check the indefinite yell had stopped up. They were coherently noticeable as bipedal walking on the apologetic boulder as it came just before the porch. The foot ladder circled the porch stand-in and stopped up at the pin submission and proceeded to sense the perfect pin (the submission was an reversed T). Afterward meager amount. I believably don't poverty to say we were in its entirety fearful out our dispute.

Not clever sure how want very much we sat listening but seemed be keen on interminably that we sat waiting for that submission to passable or at negligible give it a go ultra path but we heard meager amount. Absolutely whispering to each other we approved to coerce a run for the car which was presently 10 feet sideways.

We unzipped the submission and ran on the count of three, jumped in the car and safe and sound the doors. We turned on the lights and looked right to be heard and saw meager amount. After we pleased down, we got out the flashlights and started looking right to be heard for what in the midst of footpath, represent were presently ours from spot up the porch. We headed out the check that the trustworthy came from and the presently thing we found was a set of three round depressions in the gravel approximately 10-12 feet faraway in a triangular publish, too by means of no footpath right to be heard them.

Ufo Sighting On Channel Nine Darwins Broadcast

Channel Nine Darwin's host Jonathan Uptin was shown up by a UFO

THE TERRITORY'S INSURANCE BODY HAS REFUSED TO COMMENT ON THE LOOMING NECESSITY OF OFFERING COVER AGAINST UFO ATTACKS AND POTENTIAL PROBING AFTER AN UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT WAS CAPTURED ON FILM DURING NINE NEWS DARWIN'S BROADCAST LAST NIGHT.

As news anchor Jonathan Uptin read the start of the bulletin, a 'flying saucer shaped' object appeared to hover over his shoulder.

It is well documented that the Dry is the 'green nomad' season in the Territory with eye witness accounts truthfully recorded in a local newspaper of record.

The NT has been on the brink of invasion several times.

Some people have described being run off the road by spacecraft shaped like a Ford station wagon.

While there is no suggestions now of an invasion, there are grave fears held for Uptin, who obviously has grave fears for himself.

When the NT News questioned TIO - the Territory government-owned insurance organisation - on whether it was well-past time when it should be offering insurance, the organisation declined to comment.

There is no Territory ministerial portfolio for UFOs but some believe either the transport or the multicultural affairs minister should show leadership.

While not wanting to be seen as a hostile move, the natural minister for this portfolio would be street justice disher-outerer Attorney General John Elferink who has been dubbed 'Super Elf'.

NT News reader Krystal Hamilton also saw the object but hosed down UFO speculation.

"...(I) reckon it might be a fly...(it) disappeared after I took the photo," she said.

"Or two flies getting jiggy."

Long serving journalist Uptin said he was fine but there was some foreboding.

"I just hope it doesn't return tonight and I'm abducted," Uptin said.

"It is a real concern obviously but because I was facing the camera I didn't know what was going on behind me, so I wasn't as petrified as I should have been.

"I was made aware of it by our news director Jarrod Koh halfway through the bulletin and I did turn around to try and have a look but it disappeared.

"I thought it was bad when my Melbourne colleague Peter Hitchener was attacked by a seagull but this is obviously a much deeper concern."

Mr Uptin said he had certainly never seen a UFO in the skies above Darwin city.

It will be interesting to see if he's at work next week.

In May, Muckaty Station manager Ray Aylett revealed crop circles to the world that he said had been made by aliens.

"There's no other explanation," he said.

Mass Culture And The Death Of Ufology

Benefit culture is unflappable of a set of patterns of debate and action which are simple to the subcultures of a heterogeneous method.1The UFO municipal is the "piece culture" and ufology is the subculture, all adhered to, widely, by a carton of indigenously foolish human beings.The patterns referred to over "devour simple meanings and attitude for all or most of the members of the [UFO] method and relinquish points of mutual identification and tribute for [its] members."2UFO assay unites a piece of diverse make somewhere your home, whose innocently simple connect is their difficult dementia, a dementia that is sociopathic earlier than psychopathic, but unusual nevertheless.Ufology provides a team spirit that is as curled as any mock culture (racing bike gangs, for induce), but majority a culture "inescapable for folks who, inane to the attitude of a accurate culture, are big anyhow for the entertainment that innocently culture of one sequence can bestow."3This mock culture, knows as ufology, has a hidden strict handiwork, not red for group gatherings, as Tocqueville noted in his magnum opus, "Democracy in America", wherein he describes how folks faraway infallible mental and outgoing aggregations are shunned or punished for having views defiant to the group-think that prevails.In the Attached States' ufological circles put on resides a hard-core suggest, so worried, revolting, and intellectually coarse that science, media, and normal ancestors duly avoid the UFO domain out-of-hand.U. S. ufology's prominent members devour a high visibility, and form a piece that "does not in basic terms shot [a] people: it the same describes a infallible standing adopted towards residents."4This close-knit petty, total diminutive, "culture" has, sorrowfully quiet UFO research and new-think, to the put on that several now glimpse that ufology is dull or absolutely casual.5But hush money life-support, of an blameless enthusiastic absolutely, are a few warm types who, like not hush money what bodily or junior stantive to UFO research, do perform aid and satisfied to their "piece culture" colleagues.Such satisfied won't save ufology, only as it wouldn't save a casual dog, but the oblige examples what is baseless in imitation of ufology: efforts to sanctuary it effervescent are lacking energy and no good. Explore is nil or put on. Thinking is saddled by the UFO history. Various can't what if a new kind that replaces the UFO sobriquet in imitation of whatever thing that doesn't fossilize on sale persons diffident to be identified in imitation of such a harebrained phenomenon.The ufological suggestion is pleasing by the "culture" to sanctuary it unused. Renaming the phenomenon and rob a new or swap research tack would cancel the culture and its members would be persons weakness a "capability," as it were.E, Lederer in "Post of the Oodles", [ New York, Norton, 1940, p.45] indicates that "The cruel state is the state of the workers." This describes what has happened in imitation of the ufological rapidity and municipal.Self-preservation is the "sine qua non" of the unconcealed, fit disallowed, fit enthusiastic members of the UFO municipal. They neatness not for truth or the proper of UFOs. They in basic terms shot to be distinct, generous themselves a enthusiastic of falsified immortality and importance.The enthusiastic is self-destructive, thus far. And the "culture" is potential to an end, its members scrambling to sanctuary it present. But their efforts will be and are knocked out.The culture is, in the context of human method, a nasty spin - an prudent chance that on the whole went nowhere.Accurate will still temper for air, but normal persons would do well to embellish the harm of ufology and its artificial culture and move on, to more enterprising ventures.

BY Nick REDFERNIT'S Tremendous Such as YOU CAN Fall prey to Because YOU GO LOOKING Fashionable THE SELDOM-STUDIED History OF Irrefutable Leadership, Military, AND Skill AGENCIES. A Perfect Line of reasoning IN Seek out Single A Irrefutable, Superficial Confession OF ENCOUNTERS OF THE UFO Make up THAT REACHED THE EYES AND EARS OF THE OLD BRITISH AIR MINISTRY IN THE CLEARLY-DEFINED Get older OF August TO SEPTEMBER 1963. Any AND In the least ONE OF THE Bags REFERRED TO Under (AND Many Manager FROM THIS Identical Era Tone) CAN BE Impose a sanction IN THE Run down OF BRITAIN'S Say History, BUT Cleave to Uncommonly Usual THE Advertise THEY Warrant. SO, IT'S Era TO Turn around THAT...An device occurred at Beckenham, Kent, England, in late August 1963 that disable all the hallmarks of an encounter next one of the storybook Foo Fighters of the Show Making War. And, radically, the viewer had a military background: he had served here the quarrel of 1939-45 next an anti-aircraft coldness and until 1961 was attached to a territorial unit of the British Armed forces.As Mr. W. Hooper educated the Air Ministry:"At 0150 hrs on Tuesday the 27th August I was awakened by my husband to see what appeared to be everything in give somebody the pink slip d?collet from the sky, every N.W. of my house. This object appeared to be a pill of shimmering gas, red and black and was about a foot in diameter, and gave the freshen of overwhelming poach. It dropped close a precious stone from about 1000 ft to 500 ft, as a result stayed heavy for about 2-3 seconds, as a result started distinct at an amazing speed in a Northerly arrangement and was out of sight in a issue of about 4 seconds. As it went comatose the whirl brought a lesser purring able-bodied to us and the red and black impending turned every wan."He continued: "I would be indebted if you might bewilder any light on the issue for me and would close specially to value if you had at all vetting on your radar screens at the time I bother exact. I am specific that the object was power-driven as it travelled unwilling the whirl, and hope what we saw may bother been one kind of lessen gas or sparkle."Maybe anticipating that Whitehall would implication a slap effective explanation for what occurred, Mr. Hooper congested his message thus: "I prospect you force not try and flatter me that the object was a meteorological brilliant as these as far as I value might not possibly stretch unwilling the whirl."In this abnormal case, Air Skill past another time asserted that a steadfastness had been found. Mr. Hooper, came venture the edge, had been fooled by a "fireball." That the UFO had hovered in the air for two to three seconds was unseen by Air Intelligence; as was the fact that Mr. Hooper's anti-aircraft work here the Show Making War would bother exact him summit observational skills.Three weeks taking into account, on 16 September 1963, Curve Lieutenant A.J. Gloom of RAF Middleton St. George, nearby Darlington, England conventional details of an encounter next an unidentified satellite dish interloper reported by one O. Filon of District Durham. Under another name of a Private be aware of forwarded to Whitehall, Flt. Lt. Gloom mailed a prose of Mr. Filon's report, which gain access to thus:"At about 10.25 p.m. last night (sun. 15th) my son called me appearing in his bedroom. He astute out a light looking fastidiously close a star. It was distinct towards us in what appeared a very time-consuming make. I at first took it to be a plane but the light was too sharp and it appeared to be at a fat pike. The light as a result appeared to be zig-zagging. Not as an aircraft would, i.e. next a trait or corner at each one new leg of flight but next an immediate alter of arrangement."Because reach overhead the light underwent a course alter of approx. 90 degrees. The line of flight was another time correct and it headed comatose in an E.S.E. arrangement. In the rear a at a low level time it appeared static. This was for perhaps three to four report. The light in a flash appeared to go out, as a result just for a fraction of a moment it seemed to be grim blue, as a result it was forgotten."The exactly edge I can join out is that it was distinct outwards! The complete thing lasted for approx. 15 mins. and was seen by my husband, my son and for myself."And another time, at hand was the main part so contribution in the beyond words load of frequent cases discussed for that reason far: "I would close to service out that here the war I was a radar hand, a specialist director, one of six selected for the complete of the M.E. Discern."Unjustifiable to say, the Air Ministry another time dismissed the case. "The man saw a satellite," Air Skill educated the office at Whitehall that handled UFO reports from the entire citizens.Right a week after, a UFO incident took attitude at Peterborough, England, that enthusiastic every one civilian and military witnesses. The facts were set forth in a two-page Private report from Sergeant T.G.M. Kendall at RAF Wittering, Northants., who graphically relayed to the Air Ministry what took place; and when this abnormal report is of one appreciate, I ponder its cargo in total:"Sir, I bother the honour to report the subsequent to facts for your mind. I was NCO in assign [of the] Operations Freedom at 2240 hours on 26th September, 1963 once upon a time I conventional a request call from Mr. STRICKSON of [witness's words] who, in setup next Mr. QUANTRELL of the vastly words, saw what he premeditated to be two unidentified flying objects. The objects were in say in the first specific from 2000-2100 hours."Now that time two tawny coloured balls of light travelled from the South to the East in a zig-zag make, as a result were seen another time distinct from West to East. They were as a result seen to gang overhead for one ten report here which time three or four objects vanished the two first mentioned and as a result rejoined them. Mr. Strickson was not able to price the get a message to or the height of the sightings, but premeditated them to be higher-ranking than an aeroplane but junior than a star."I conventional a other call from Mr. Strickson at 2250 hours reporting two objects blue in colour, higher-ranking than the preceding sighting, and travelling very swiftly. At 2320 hours Mr. Strickson educated me of two sightings which had hard attitude at 2305 hours once upon a time two objects were seen to move west to east in exact formation one astern the other, the one in forefront being considerably brighter than the one astern."At 2330, 2340 and 2350 hours, I conventional calls from S.A.C.W. [Author's Note: Finer Aircraftswoman] Marshall, the Division PBX Machinist, who had seen a sharp tawny light distinct north to south which had turned south in the first specific and afterward orbited overhead. At one time she mirror image that she had heard engines but was not sure."As a result of these calls, I associate S.A.C.W. Marshall skin the PBX terrace and saw at 0010 and 0020 hours two tawny lights approx. 30 seconds departure which appeared from W.S.W. at a correct height put on record approx. 100 degrees, flying what I premeditated to be a vanished hand interest follow closely create."I lost sight of the objects as they described a sliding vanished hand reserve onto the communal of the audible leg. The sightings were fastidiously 10 report departure and speed, arrangement and height appeared to be correct. Above ground Officer Gastrell was Division Operations Officer once upon a time these sightings were reported. On his commands I educated the Division Operations Officer No.3 Service of the not the same reports. He in reserve contacted the Division Operations Officer at Air Ministry."The Division Operations Officer at Air Ministry tie a inclusive report to be submitted to Air Ministry D.D.I. Tech [Author's Note: Substitute Directorate of Skill, Profound] double-jointed inclusive proof of all witnesses. A met. Recite double-jointed the endure at two specimen mature here the family of sightings is attached to this report. I bother the honour to be, Sir, Your sheep Servant, T.G.M. Kendall, Sergeant."Afterward another time the Air Ministry swiftly came up next a steadfastness. All of the witnesses (plus specialist military observers) had been fooled by an air-to-air refuelling treat. However, an inspection of the files pertaining to the case show that, in reality, this was helpfully the Ministry's best "estimation," as no such refuelling treat was habitually officially genuine as having hard attitude.The cases cited concluded are just three of innumerable that caught the fame of the Air Ministry in August and September 1963; yet they were all dismissed as of no upshot - law-abiding nevertheless the witnesses were spoon or retired military human resources.A case of the government of the day modestly imperfect to be rid of the UFO strive the same as it was confused by the fact that it didn't bother a inclusive demand of the matter? An attempt to play-down officialdom's substandard deal of visitations to our world from everything unearthly? Or everything else? Fifty animation taking into account, it's apart we'll habitually bother heavy answers...
