Ok you need to stop fear mongering. Let the powers that be do that just dont buy into it. Your right this is happening and the frequency is growing but putting a fear spin is completly missing the point of what is going down. we are being given an oportunity to go from a terrestrial species to a galactic species, if we can handle it. Also the thing with art bell was a hoax google it if you dont believe me.
From the webmaster:
In response to the reader who suggested a taint of “fear spin” was added by me, in regards to certain UFO posts made here… no, I am NOT suggesting we all cower in fear at an impending “alien invasion” etc., I am simply pointing out the rising frequency of sightings worldwide leading to a possible landing/contact event.
You (reader) however are very correct in pointing out that we need to be prepared to become “galactic citizens” if need be!
So yes, I apologize for ANY misconceptions and DO advocate a willingness to accept a place amongst the stars, so to speak, with other sentient races out there.

Actual alien tech or new black Op's tech of our own?
Two Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) investigators report observing two triangle-shaped objects in the sky and experiencing missing time as they traveled south along Highway 67 in Missouri’s Saint Francious County enroute to the Piedmont UFO Festival, according to June 20, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network witness reporting database.
The reporting witness is Assistant State Director for Missouri and the second witness is a STAR Team Investigator for Kansas MUFON.
While driving along Missouri’s Highway 67, they noticed a bright object to their east.
“As I was driving south on 67 Highway past Farmington at the very south edge of Francious County, I noticed a bright object in the sky to the east,” the reporting witness stated. “The object appeared to be three very bright lights in a triangular pattern. It was approximately the size of a large pea held at arm’s length. The object was much brighter than any planet (5 x brighter than Venus) and was bluish/white in color. It was at approximately 50 degrees off the horizon and ENE of our position. It appeared to get larger and clearer as I watched it. I also had an uneasy feeling, which started before I saw the object.”
The reporting witness then asked the second witness to have a look – but the first object disappeared while a second object appeared.
“He said the object moved to the North, and when I looked it was gone. He watched several shooting objects without tails moving from west to northeast, but behaving like shooting stars. Then three long, white lights appeared, moving very fast from a NE to SW direction. The first triangular object appeared and disappeared three times. These objects moved around the sky for approximately 15 minutes. The skies clouded over and we lost sight of the objects. We were both very uneasy about the entire sighting, and thought it was coincidental that this occurred while we were on our way to the Piedmont UFO Festival where I was speaking.”
Upon arriving at the event, they realized that there was more than one hour of missing time.
“The duration of the trip should have been six hours according to my GPS. With stops taken into consideration, we should have arrived at 9:30 p.m., but we arrived at our destination at 10:37 p.m., so we had over an hour of missing time. We cannot account for the missing time.”
But the strange events did not stop upon arriving at the UFO event – odd things happened to a computer that the reporting witness had brought with her to the festival.
“While at the event, my computer, which contained the Power Point presentation on UFO sightings in Missouri, was stolen from my locked vehicle. It has since reappeared in my house on my dining room table, minus the Power Point presentation I was going to use and another one on a different UFO case. The laptop was not there last night, but was this morning. I am absolutely positive it was in my vehicle, since we discussed taking it inside on the first day of the event (Friday), but I said no since I didn’t need it until Saturday, and moved it to a different spot in the back seat.”
And during their stay at the event, some paranormal events occurred.
“We had some paranormal events happen at the house we were staying at in Piedmont, which consisted of scratching and banging noises on the outside of the house and a glass breaking sound inside the house, which two of us heard, as well as some objects moved to different locations.”
Saint Francious County is located in Missouri’s Lead Belt, population 65,359. No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on June 20, 2011. The events occurred on June 16, 2011.
Missouri is a current UFO ALERT 5 rating, with a low number of UFO sightings nationally. Missouri had 12 reports in May 2011 – while California had 55 UFO reports – the highest reporting state in the nation. Missouri remains on our Watch List.

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON.
I am the Assistant State Director for Missouri MUFON, and a Start Team Investigator. The person with me was a Star Team investigator for Kansas MUFON. We had a spectacular UFO sighting while on the last leg of our trip from Kansas City to Piedmont, MO, located in the SE corner of Missouri in Wayne County.
The duration of the trip should have been six hours according to my GPS. With stops taken into consideration, we should have arrived at 9:30 p.m., but we arrived at our destination at 10:37 p.m., so we had over an hour of missing time. We cannot account for the missing time.
As I was driving South on 67 Highway past Farmington at the very South edge of Francious County, I noticed a bright object in the sky to the East. The object appeared to be three very bright lights in a triangular pattern. It was approximately the size of a large pea held at arm’s length. The object was much brighter than any planet (5 x brighter than Venus) and was bluish/white in color. It was at approximately 50 degrees off the horizon and ENE of our position. It appeared to get larger and clearer as I watched it. I also had an uneasy feeling, which started before I saw the object.
I asked my passenger (the other MUFON investigator) to take a look at the object, so he opened the sunroom of my SUV and watched it. He said the object moved to the North, and when I looked it was gone. He watched several shooting objects without tails moving from West to Northeast, but behaving like shooting stars. Then three long white lights appeared, moving very fast from a NE to SW direction. The first triangular object appeared and disappeared three times. These objects moved around the sky for approximately fifteen minutes. The skies clouded over and we lost sight of the objects. We were both very uneasy about the entire sighting, and thought it was coincidental that this occurred while we were on our way to the Piedmont UFO Festival where I was speaking.
While at the event, my computer, which contained the power point presentation on UFO sightings in Missouri, was stolen from my locked vehicle. It has since reappeared in my house on my dining room table, minus the power point presentation I was going to use and another one on a different UFO case. The laptop was not there last night, but was this morning. I am absolutely positive it was in my vehicle, since we discussed taking it inside on the first day of the event (Friday), but I said no since I didn’t need it until Saturday, and moved it to a different spot in the back seat.
Also notable: We had some paranormal events happen at the house we were staying at in Piedmont, which consisted of scratching and banging noises on the outside of the house and a glass breaking sound inside the house, which two of us heard, as well as some objects moved to different locations. I had a strange dream about being abducted and restrained on a UFO, but that may be just a dream given the circumstances.

It’s hard to imagine the industrial town of Bonnybridge near Falkirk as a portal to another dimension but the everyday hustle and bustle of the area hides a more mysterious and sinister background.
Nicknamed the ‘UFO capital of Scotland’, Bonnybridge is a hotspot for extra-terrestrial activity and people from around the world have come to the town to gaze at the skies above. Some reports state there are over 300 UFO sightings a year in the town alone.
UFO expert and author of Beyond the Falkirk Triangle Ronald Halliday believes that Scotland’s twilight zone isn’t just restricted to the Falkirk area and there are strange lights to be seen all over the country. Is there something strange going on in Scotland’s skies?
Speaking to The Hour Ronald said: “People do have close up encounters and people do claim to have seen things that are very hard to explain right away.
“There have been thousands of reported sightings in Scotland and in fact the country has been labelled the UFO capital of the world. There has even been some suggestion that Scotland acts as a window into another dimension.
“Again, there have been thousands of reported sightings of UFOs in Bonnybridge over the years and all sort of strange things have been happening. People from all over the world have gone there to see if they can spot something. If you want to see a UFO come to Scotland.”
The release of previously confidential MOD files by the National Archive in 2008 unravelled further suspicions of potential unidentified objects in Scotland’s skies. From 1940 onwards various eyewitness accounts have included everything from mysterious beams of light in Lennoxtown to an alleged abduction in Livingston.
Despite its reputation as a hotspot for alien activity, Ronald insists that it has never been more important to validate potential sightings and check for signs of false or natural explanations.
“I think we have got to be critical about the whole thing. You can’t accept every claim that someone has seen something strange unless there is real evidence; you have to evaluate it and take a look to see if we can explain it through science or natural phenomenon.
“People think they have seen something strange but when you take a look and investigate it you find out that really there is nothing behind it.”
However one would be advised to keep your eyes on the Scottish skies for now. As the use of camera-phones and handheld recording equipment grows, so too does the chance of spotting a UFO – just make sure to wear a warm jacket.
“I’d advise [UFO hunters] to take a very warm coat and be prepared to spend some time in an isolated spot. You don’t want to be near a city.”
An Independence, MO, witness is looking for an explanation after watching “a bright, white object that looked like a fat missile” moving overhead under 1,000 feet, according to June 22, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness had just gotten into a car after getting off of work and compared the object to a missile “like from World War II aiming down at a 45 degree angle.”
The witness described the object.
“It had a skinny tail on top of it at a 120 degree angle,” the witness stated. “It moved across the sky kind of like a plane would, but it was moving in a very straight, smooth path and flying very low. I was surprised to see a plane that low in this area. I’d guess that it was at about 500 – 1,000 feet, but don’t know for sure.”
The object then moved behind trees and the witness was unable to see it again.
No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on June 22, 2011. The event occurred on June 21, 2011. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Independence is the fourth largest city in Missouri, lying within Jackson and Clay counties, population 116,830.
Missouri is a current UFO ALERT 5 rating, with a low number of UFO sightings nationally. Missouri had 12 reports in May 2011 – and remains on our Watch List – while California had 55 UFO reports – the highest reporting state in the nation.

MO, June 21, 2011 – Missle-shaped object over Independence. MUFON Case # 29679.
I was getting in my car after work and something caught my eye in the sky slightly to my East. I saw a bright white object that looked like a fat missle (like from WWII) aiming down at a 45 degree angle.
It had a skinny tail on top of it at a 120 degree angle. It moved across the sky kind of like a plane would, but it was moving in a very straigt, smooth path and flying very low. I was surprised to see a plane that low in this area. I’d guess that it was at about 500- 1,000 feet but don’t know for sure.
It was cloudy out with dark clouds in the Eastern sky where I was looking so the object really stood out. It moved behind trees and I couldn’t see it after that.
I’d like to know what it was. After that, I headed home (West) on 23rd Street. I was at 291 Highway and 23rd street and noticed a very strange cloud hanging low over an area around Noland Road. It was low and black with sharp edges and a few puffy black clouds around it that were all the same size. It looked very odd – I’ve never seen anything like it. It stayed there the entire time I was driving.

Several Missouri witnesses traveling southbound on I-435 stopped to observe as many as 125 low-flying, orange objects that moved up from the tree line and traveled away at about the speed of a helicopter, according to May 16, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
All of the objects moved in from the north low on the horizon and then moved south – each object splitting into five smaller objects – before moving into cloud cover.
“As they spread and slowly began to disappear into the clouds above (low ceiling), a larger and brighter orange object at a faster speed, about 1-2 degrees above the horizon, behind the tree line, and then as it started to ascend, split into five smaller orange objects, again radical in flight, without formation, and slowly ascended into the cloud cover,” the reporting witness stated. “This occurred about 20 times over a 25 minute span. They all came from the North (low on horizon) to South and then turning toward the East and then into cloud cover.”
The event occurred over a 25-minute period and stopped after the largest object was seen – also splitting into five smaller objects.
“At one time, I observed over 15 in the sky at one time. At approx 9:58 p.m., the largest ball at a faster speed flew, split into 5 smaller objects, they followed the same path as the previous objects, and then the event seemed to stop. There were other vehicles on the shoulder of the highway observing this event. I got one person’s name and phone, and the next day he related that he talked to another individual who also saw this phenomenon.”
The witness also observed a “jerky motion” to the objects
“Once they all rose above the treeline, I would approximate their speed at approximately that of a helicopter. But the jerky motion didn’t make sense, and the coloration from a side view made no sense, as the sun had been down for over an hour and the low altitude above the eastern horizon would pretty much rule out solar reflection. I would guess that over the period that I observed these objects, there were approximately 125 of them.”
No town name was mentioned in the MUFON report, which was filed on May 16, 2011. The event occurred on April 13, 2011.
Missouri MUFON reports that Chinese Lanterns have been ruled out in this case due to the observed speed of the objects. “A second witness is sending me photos from their cell phone,” Assistant State Director Margie Kay stated. “A third witness cannot be reached but was at the scene. I am obtaining a photograph of the orange orbs from one witness.” In addition to the above report, the following two cases occurred over the weekend in Missouri.
10:30 p.m., Saturday, May 14, 2011: Anonymous witness called me today: She saw a lighted craft just above the clouds on Saturday night at approximately 10:32 p.m. over Independence, MO, South of 39th Street and Lee’s Summit Road headed in a NW-SE direction. It was not defined and difficult to see – only the large bright circluar white light was clearly visible.
4 a.m. Sunday, May 15, 2011: A very large Grey metallic saucer-shaped craft with a dome and one large horizontal long light and two smaller lights on the side was sighted in Lee’s Summit, MO, on Sunday morning at 4 a.m. Five witnesses saw this. One was a designated driver (he failed to put that in the report) and was not drinking. The others had been drinking at a bar earlier but he assures me that they were not drunk at the time of the sighting. He and his wife also report seeing Apache helicopters, fully armed, circling Lee’s Summit and Blue Springs for 7 days before this sighting. None were seen at the time of the sighting. Note: my secretary lives in Blue Springs and said she has heard the helicopters as well. Lee’s Summit Regional Airport is a small airport and not normally a place where military helicopters are sighted.

MO, April 13, 2011 – Multiple waves of 5 orange/low to high trajectory. MUFON Case # 29106.
Travelling S.B. on I-435 when five orange objects in Eastern sky caught my eye. I stopped to observe this phenomena, as they flew slowly, albeit radical, at about 20 degrees above horizon.
As they spread and slowly began to disappear into the clouds above (low celing), a larger and brighter orange object at a faster speed, about 1-2 degrees above the horizon, behind the treeline, and then as it started to ascend, split into five smaller orange objects, again radical in flight, without formation, and slowly ascended into the clould cover.
This occurred about 20 times over a 25 minute span. They all came from the North (low on horizon) to South and then turning toward the East and then into cloud cover.
At one time, I observed over 15 in the sky at one time. At approx 9:58 PM, the largest ball at a faster speed flew, split into 5 smaller objects, they followed the same path as the previous objects, and then the event seemed to stop. There were other vehicles on the shoulder of the highway observing this event. I got one persons name and phone, and the next day he related that he talked to another individual who also saw this phenomenon.
Once they all rose above the treeline, I would approximate their speed at approx. that of a helicopter. but the jerky motion didn’t make sense, and the coloration from a side view made no sense, as the sun had been down for over an hour and the low altitude above the eastern horizon would pretty much rule out solar reflection.
I would guess that over the period that I observed these objects, there were approximately 125 of them. I do not do drugs/drink/or subject to illusions. I am observant, logical, and well educated. This happened, it was unexplainable, and a bit spooky.
AS this event lasted so long, with so many objects, I would presume that radar somewhere would have picked this up. If possible, I would like an explanation from some tower or authority trying to explain this to me. The initial speed of these objects at low altitude seemd to be about 100-120 KPH, but during ascent appeared to slow to around 60-80KPH. The wind was about 15 knots, which Might contribute to some of the uneveness of flight, but probably not.
Two Maryland witnesses driving along rural Dairy Road near the small town of Rising Sun stopped their vehicle as a slow-moving UFO – 50 feet across and 20 feet high – moved silently just three feet above the ground, according to May 4, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The UFO emerged from a valley area to the left of the roadway across a field.
“I turned my head to the left and seen the front of the UFO moving about three feet off the ground and going about 1 mph (just moving really slow),” the reporting witness stated.
The witness stopped the vehicle as the UFO completely emerged in front of them.
“As we were setting there watching it move, all of a sudden it stopped and was about three feet off the ground. I guess the size of it about 50 feet across and about 20 feet high. It was really big. It made no sound and the color was a dirty silver.”
As the object stopped, the witness reports getting a feeling that the object did not want to be seen.
“When it stopped, it set there about three seconds, and then moved straight up about 20 feet, and stopped again. That’s when I thought we may be in big trouble, but at that moment when it stopped, it was like a rocked blasting off – fire came from beneath it about 5-foot circle and still made no sound.”
The object moved up, and then was gone.
“After it took off we only seen it for about 300 feet and it disappeared and was gone. The distance from us was within 200 yards so we got a really good view of it. There were no windows that I could see or any markings. I would say the whole thing from start to finish took about 90 seconds.”
No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on May 4, 2011. Rising Sun is in Cecil County, Maryland, population 1,702. The incident took place on July 15, 1969. Both witnesses told no one at the time about the sighting.
Maryland is a current UFO ALERT 5 rating, with a low number of UFO sightings nationally. Maryland had 4 UFO reports in April 2011 – while California had 46 sightings, the highest reporting state in the nation.

MD, July 15, 1969 – I seen a UFO up close. MUFON Case # 28939
I used to live in Maryland from 1964 to 1977. I guess it was about 1969 to maybe 1972–I don’t remember the exact year when we seen a UFO. It was in the summer, I had been fishing with my brother-in-law “Bo” (who is now deceased) It was in the evening as we were on our way home on Dairy Road near the town of Rising Sun. I lived on Dairy Road and was only a couple of minutes from home when I spotted the UFO.
As we were going down the road there was a field on my left and across the field there were two hills seperated by a valley, as we were moving something caught my eye coming from the vally between the hills. I turned my head to the left and seen the front of the UFO moving about 3 feet of the ground and going about 1 mile per hour (just moving really slow)
I told Bo ‘LOOK AT THAT”. I stopped in the road and we watched it move real slow compelety out into full view.
As we were setting there watching it move, all of a sudden it stopped and was about 3 feet off the ground. I guess the size of it about 50 feet across and about 20 ft. high. It was really big. It made NO sound and the color was a dirty silver.
When it stopped I got the feeling that it didn’t want to be seen. When it stopped it set there about 3 seconds and than moved straight up about 20 feet and stopped again. Thats when I thought we may be in big trouble but at that moment when it stopped it was like a rocked blasting off, fire came from beneath it about 5 foot circle and still made NO sound.
After it took off we only seen it for about 300 feet and it disappeared and was gone. The distance from us was within 200 yards so we got a really good view of it. There were no windows that I could see or any markings. I would say the whole thing from start to finish took about 90 seconds. The thing that we were not able to figure out was it was evening when we seen the UFO and only lived a couple of minutes down the road but didn’t get home till after dark. Plus we never thought to tell anyone about it. We just forgot about it.
It was a strange experience. I Have seen many other UFO’s but that one was up close.
You’ve read the stories, seen the tv shows and heard the rumors, though it never seems to be enough. Are aliens invading, have they already or is our historical understanding all an elaborate cover up that the powers don’t want us knowing? Yunno, I cant help but think that as fantastical and fictitious as X-files presented itself, it may have been based on truth rather than the inner workings of creative minds. Well, as the Steigers bring us another tasty entry into the alien hall of fame, there is plenty here for everybody to pick from.
In fact, what I liked best about the book is that it’s not your usual lethargic drawn out page turner but rather short reports and quips from a variety of places and sources that give us alot in little bits. My first impression was how easy I found it to just flip forward or back to the desired sections of interest. Whether it’s the grays, the lizard folk, the greens, the hybrids or just strange places both on and off earth….your sure to find some satisfaction in your exploration here.
I tend to gravitate to the cover-ups and the “what’s-been-going-on” reports that focus on government involvement and the “come-forward-witnesses” needing to get things off their chests. As we move past these strange and wild tales of presumed non-fiction, we learn about a race or “races” who by careful collaboration have kept the secrets of the worlds from us. If this is true and very well could be, what are we being protected from?…and why?
Are we to believe in TV-like stories that sound much like the stuff we watch for relaxation………maybe so. The Steigers and friends don’t mess around. They have spent the time it needs to bring forward these isolated incidents large or small. While some of the chapters focus more on the beings themselves other tackle the bigger picture announcements. The kind that are looming overhead!
“Real Aliens” tackles a number of short reports on secret lairs, sightings and abduction stories that all point to some level of interaction or proof of alien life forms. What is more disturbing is the government level involvement hinted at revealed as going on for quite some time. We’ll read about ties to the lost Atlantis, about underground bases, about levels deep, about sectors dedicated to experimentation and several more unexplained reportings that span back into the 40′s and 60′s.
Is 2012 the year that we make contact? Has the aliens been guiding our hands in the evolution chain or are we all just some form of an elaborate experiment that has come almost full circle? The facts are too intriguing not to raise a few eyebrows and wonder if the time has come for full revelation. The Steigers do a bang up job on not only presenting the short tidbits, but doing so in a way that seem to draw reader interest from page to page. I think this fact alone keeps me coming back to these books and flipping thru.. It sure is alot to consume but don’t say they never told us so….. killer stuff for UFO fans and unexplained materials alike.
Aliens are coming to a city near you. Or, at least they’re surveying Boulder County as a future landing zone, according to several Lafayette residents.
Three red lights in a triangle were spotted hovering in the sky by several Lafayette residents Monday around 8:30 p.m. The sky was clear, but witnesses could not see anything connecting the lights.
Leroy Vandervegt, 50, has lived in Lafayette for the past 16 years. His 17-year-old son, Nick, spotted the lights on his way home from work and called his father. Leroy Vandervegt grabbed his camera, ran outside and looked up. He began filming. Sure enough, he too saw three red lights. Aliens? Maybe.
“I don’t know what they are,” Leroy Vandervegt said. “All I know is that I had no idea what it is. It wasn’t a satellite, it wasn’t an airplane and it wasn’t a helicopter.”
The lights made no noise, Vandervegt said, and seemed to hover in the sky while moving slowly from southwest to southeast. They didn’t blink. The lights remained in a triangular shape, but the type of triangle changed from equilateral to isosceles to scalene.
Then, the triangle began moving toward the northeast sky when one light extinguished, or zoomed away. The remaining two lights “just turned off and were gone,” he said.
Denver International Airport officials declined to comment on the sighting. But Allen Kenitzer, the Federal Aviation Administration’s spokesman for the Rocky Mountain region, said his staff didn’t see anything out of the ordinary Monday

night.
“To the best of our knowledge, radar returns showed no abnormal unidentified activity within our airspace in references to the three triangular formation red lights as being reported,” Kenitzer said in an e-mail.
Leroy Vandervegt posted his video to YouTube and his since gotten more than 6,000 views and nearly 50 comments.
His brother, Alex Lankhorst, was visiting Lafayette from Salina, Kan. The video he posted of the lights has received more than 8,000 views. Lankhorst said the description of “unidentified flying object” made sense in this situation — no one could identify the object in the sky.
Doug Wilson is the Colorado director for the Greeley-based Mutual UFO Network, an organization that strives to

learn the origin of UFO phenomena through the collection and analysis of UFO data. Wilson received four reports of the UFO sighting and is sending investigators to the scene.
“It’s unusual for us to have a single event with multiple reports,” Wilson said. “It’s not just somebody pulling our leg.”
Wilson said three red lights in a triangle is a common pattern for UFOs.
Joe Valadez, 47, also posted a video to YouTube of the lights in the sky. Some of the commenters on Valadez’s video were skeptical. One user, Lonnie Sexton, 33, wrote: “I want proof as bad as the next guy, but these are just hot air candle balloons folks.”
Sexton, of Broomfield, said he would like to believe that there are other life forms in the universe, but nothing he has seen online has convinced him.
“It’s always kind of iffy,” he said in an interview. “With graphics these days, you can’t believe everything you see on the Internet.”
Sexton slowed down the video and enhanced it to get a better look. A more plausible explanation, he said, are Japanese lanterns “like in the Karate Kid” — floating flags or plastic bags with small candles underneath.
“There’s always a better explanation,” Sexton said. “If alien species were to descend somewhere, why would they just hover? They would let us know they were here.”
Valadez said he too wanted a logical explanation for the sighting, but he couldn’t come up with one. For now, he and other witnesses will have to settle on the unknown.
“It’s just weird,” he said. “I’m skeptical, but it’s unexplainable. I believe in certain stuff, but I’m not a UFO nerd or whatever. I’m not really sure it was aliens; I just wonder what it was.”
