UFO sighting spree in the States

by Leave a Comment

This New Year there seems to have been a spike in UFO sightings in the States. It started in Northern California and then more sightings came in from Hollywood Hills and Florida.

What do you think? The TV hosts seem to dismiss the idea of Chinese Lanterns but it’s the right time of year for them to be popular and a gust of wind could easily move a hovering lantern so that it appears to be cruising.

This wasn’t the only news report.

Once again the “ball of fire” description is used.

What’s your theory? Are these sightings that should be followed up more thoroughly or do you think they’re just New Year celebrations?

What was the Phoenix Fox flash?

by Leave a Comment

A video from Phoenix Fox 10 has counted up millions of views after it seems to show a mysterious flash.

Have you ever wondered why so many mysterious lights are never caught on truly credible camera sources? The Phoenix Fox Flash turns that scenario around – it was during a mainstream TV report that the flash was caught on camera. The show then returned to the incident, let the audience watch it in slow motion and then discounted the possiblity of a transformer sparking.

What do you think is responsible for the flash of light? Do you think this could be a clever PR stunt by the TV station or has something strange been caught on very public camera?

Not a UFO in Cowley County? Police say “secret plane”

by Leave a Comment

If this is a UFO being transported then it’s one of the most brazen attempts to move one. The people of Cowley Country in Kansas, USA, got to watch as a super long truck carried a wrapped but very odd shaped “craft” down through the town.

Police say they helped with the operation; helping to direct traffic and even remove road signs which stopped the huge truck from turning corners. However, they deny this was a UFO – instead this was a secret aircraft that had been designed by a private firm. They don’t want to talk much more about it.

Have you watched the video? What do you think? Is this really just a secret design of an aircraft, wrapped in plastic, being moved through a busy American town?

What else could it be?

Death Eater UFOs spotted over Tottenham London

by 1 Comment

This video looks like it was recorded on a smartphone with a camera from a train in London, UK. It’s not clear whether they’re heading into London via Tottenham Hale or leaving the city.

It’s a little hard to spot at first but there are a series of strange lights in the sky. At one point around the 3 second mark there are a series of smokey trails. However, at the time of posting at least one comment suggests this just may be smart after effects.

In Pure Spirit

What do you think? Anything odd about these strange lights over Tottenham? Or is this a just a clever fake?

Russian woman keeps alien in fridge for two years

Could this even possibly be real?

The video below shows a 60cm long creature or object in the fridge of a Russian woman called Marta Yegorovnam. She claims that in 2009 she heard a crash outside, investigated and found the flaming wreckage of an UFO outside. In the crash site she found this “alien”, which was very hot, so she wrapped it in plastic and put in the frdige. As it wasn’t making any sounds she assumed it was dead.

The action took place in city of Petrozavodsk, the capital of the Republic of Karelia. The city has a population of around 250,000 and sits on the western shore of Lake Onega.

What do you think? Can this be real or do you think this is a fake or a mistake?

UFO, plane or fireball?

by Leave a Comment

This footage was taken in Georgia, USA, on the July 7th 2011. The date’s important. It means the footage was captured with modern tech and if it was a plane then it must be a modern plane.

To imagine that this might be an airplane means to assume it’s flying at high altitude with a halo of atmospheric distortion.

What do you think? Could this be a plane… and if not; what is it?

Photograph of UFO at exploding volcano?

by Leave a Comment

The erruption of the Puyehue volcano in Chile was a dramatic one. It caused air chaos and thousands of people found themselves trapped abroad or unable to fly when they wanted too. It also produced some fantastic videos and photograph.

The erruption of Puyehue, although entirely natural, resulted in some alien looking photography. EriGIA007 runs a large UFO, aliens and Paranormal channel on YouTube and has published a video highlights something odd by the volcano.

I say “odd” because the shape looks a number of circles in the sky above the volcano. I don’t think this is an alien at all. The volcano is spewing stuff up and into the air, all sorts of rocks and rubble and I think that’s our answer.

Take a look at the video for yourself;

What do you think? Is this something not of our Earth? Or are those shapes entirely organic and natural?

The Kabansky Alien

by Leave a Comment

Start by assuming this video is a clever hoax – even if it looks very real. As you’ll be able to guess from the audio this footage comes from Russia. In fact, the description with the video suggests it’s from the Kabansky (Kabanskiy) district of Russia which is geographically large but relatively small in population; nearly half of the people there live outside cities.

In Pure Spirit

How good is this hoax or do you think this might actually be real? Is there a natural explination for the humanoid but not human figure?

Doesn’t this “alien” fit the standard description of a Roswell Grey?

The mystery of the alien doughnut clouds

by Leave a Comment

Radar screens used to track weather patterns have been seen to show giant doughnut sized clouds. The clouds are large enough to circle a small country and vanish as quickly as they appear.

The rings are actually created by the weather messing with the radar technology. The doughnuts occur on radars when snow melts in the atmosphere causing the radar signal to bounce back. The ring’s edge is actually the edge of the radar and the size of the circle in the middle determined by the angle at which the radar points at the sky.

The snow melt can also cause straight lines that run behind one another.

As can be expected, UFO watchers know a thing or two behind these odd radar patterns. Speaking to AOL News, Marc Dantonio of the Mutual UFO Network said;

That doughnut or ring is something called a melting circle, where snow melted and radar picks it up – it’s a very thick area that forms an anomalistic ring,’

“The radar only has a certain range out to which it can go — that’s the outer border of the doughnut. And the inner border of the doughnut is based on the angle that the radar is aiming in the sky.”

In Pure Spirit

Isn’t that odd? Do you accept the “melting snow in the atmosphere” explanation or do you suspect modern radar is better than that?

Did the Super Moon reveal three UFOs over St. Osyth in Essex?

by 3 Comments

It’s the night of 19th of March 2011 – the Super Moon – and a paranormal researcher is in his freezing back garden with a video camera. He’s there to capture some footage of the moon. Instead, he captures three strange lights.

It was about 11pm and freezing cold but it was so light outside and really quite beautiful, looking across the fields and listening to the night wildlife. It was a clear night and there was no wind at all. The video shows the moon filmed through trees. I had my back to the fields at this point, then when I turned to look out over the fields right in front of me was three huge red lights moving across the sky in total silence. I was filming in infa-red at the time and this was when the lights were at their brightest. I switched to normal mode and the lights began to vanish one by one in a clear, cloudless sky.

The researcher, known only as MoonShadowCove at this point, goes on to say that the video fails to do justice to the intensity of the lights. An aircraft appears at the end of the video and this is a handy contrast because it helps rule out that these three lights were other planes.

But could they not just be Chinese lanterns? That would explain the way the original glow, the hovering and then the gentle fade to black.

I had a nose around the web and can’t find another “MoonShadowCove” used as an alias. There’s no Twitter account, for example, but he seems to be responding to messages on YouTube. In his own words;

I am a paranormal researcher, ghosts, big cat sightings, ufos, etc, so this for me was just fantastic.

In Pure Spirit

What do you think? Just Chinese lanterns or are these lights something that requires a harder look and more discussion?
