Wichita UFO report draws wide attention

BY TIM POTTER
The Wichita Eagle

It flew fast like a jet, made a whirling sound and left an odd glow.

That's how an amateur photographer described a flying machine he spotted in the skies near Rose Hill on Friday. The UFO world is now paying attention to his photograph.

On Monday, the photo appeared under the headline "Weird Object in Wichita," on UFO Digest, a Canadian Web site.

The object looks like some kind of new-technology fighter jet, possibly a prototype, said UFO Digest editor and publisher Dirk Vander Ploeg.

Jarrod Bartlett, spokesman for Boeing Integrated Defense Systems-Wichita, said in an e-mail that he checked with flight operations staff "and they were not able to identify the aircraft. We do not often get calls regarding unidentified aircraft."

McConnell Air Force Base declined to comment.

The man who captured the image said he took the photo at 8:42 a.m. Friday near 210th and Prairie Creek Road, about three miles south of Rose Hill.

"I was facing east when I shot the photo," the man, who asked not to be identified, said in an e-mail.

He described what he saw: "The object came out of the clouds really fast. It sounded kind of like a jet but much, much softer and had a whirling sound with it.

"I only got off one shot because it was really close before I realized it was something different. It went back upward, much like a jet, and was gone.

"There was a odd pinkish glow in the sky behind it."

In a telephone interview, the man said he takes still-life photos as a hobby. He said it was fortunate he had his camera out when the object flew into his view because he saw it for only a few seconds.

"The only problem was I had a real slow lens... . I wasn't planning on taking a picture of anything moving," he said.

He said he used to work at Boeing and has seen a lot of aircraft over the years.

"It didn't sound like one of these jets that I hear all the time.... It was much quieter, much quieter," he said.

He noticed that the flying machine's exterior looked black and shiny.

He estimated the object came no closer than 1,000 feet above the ground. It swooped in as if it was on "a bombing run."

"Then in one smooth motion, it went back up," he said.

After he took the photo, relatives urged him to send it to the UFO publication. He was reluctant.

"I didn't want people to think I'm nuts," he said.

Vander Ploeg, the UFO Digest publisher, said he is a former small-plane pilot who is familiar with various aircraft. He said he was confident that the image is not a hoax.

"But I can't tell you what it is," he said.

"I've never seen a plane that looks like that."

Senate confirmation of Panetta opens door to CIA X-Files

February 14, 8:43 AM

by Michael Salla, Ph.D.

On Friday morning, Leon Panetta was sworn in as the new Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. This was after the U.S. Senate, the night before, confirmed Panetta as the new Director of the Central Intelligence Agency on a voice vote. A day earlier, on Wednesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee approved him without dissent. At 70, Panetta becomes the oldest man ever to take charge of the CIA. In his first message to CIA employees, he said: "Throughout my 40-year career in government, I have made it a point to speak honestly to my colleagues, my coworkers, my constituents, and my president. I hope that we can speak honestly to each other and to those we serve."

Panetta achieved prominence as President Clinton’s Chief of Staff (1994-1997). He is a veteran political insider and his supporters hope he can rebuild morale in the CIA which was badly tarnished by faulty intelligence assessments that led to the Iraq war. Significantly, Panetta is close to John Podesta who served as Panetta’s deputy during the Clinton Administration. Podesta eventually succeeded Panetta as Clinton’s Chief of Staff from 1998-2001. Podesta served as co-chair of Obama’s transition team, and the selection of Panetta reflected Podesta’s influence.

Podesta has been an outspoken advocate of increased declassification of government documents. Both Panetta and Podesta were in key positions to support President Clinton’s Executive Order 12958 passed on April 17 1995. EO 12958 made it easier to declassify national security information that had been unnecessarily classified for decades. Podesta's influence was more recently seen in Obama's January 21 Presidential Memoranda on Open Government and Transparency, and Freedom of Information Act.

During the Clinton administration, Podesta was open about his interest in possible X-Files hidden in different government agencies as depicted in the hit television series. In fact, a video of a Clinton administration X-Files party is soon to be released under the Freedom of Information Act according to a Canadian UFO researcher. The X-Files was a term that could be traced to the FBI’s historic efforts to get to the bottom of the UFO phenomenon. These files were often categorized under "Flying Discs: Security Matter-X".This led to Podesta's support for declassification of many national security files, especially those concerning UFOs. On October 22, 2002, Podesta made a statement at the National Press Club concerning the legality of UFO information that has not been released to the public on national security grounds. He said: "I think it's time to open the books on questions that have remained in the dark on the question of government investigations of UFOs.”

Interest in finding about UFOs in the Clinton administration wasn’t just limited to Podesta. Webster Hubbell was a personal friend of President Clinton who had appointed him as associate attorney general of the Justice Department. In his autobiography, Hubbell wrote: "Clinton had said, 'If I put you over at Justice I want you to find the answers to two questions for me. One, who killed JFK? And two, are there UFOs?'... Clinton was dead serious. I had looked into both, but wasn't satisfied with the answers I was getting."

Bill Clinton’s interest in finding the truth of UFOs very likely influenced his choice of the last Intelligence Community outsider, who like Panetta, was asked to head the CIA. Former CIA Director James Woolsey was very interested in finding out about any UFO information secretly kept at the CIA. In fact, Woolsey was given an informal ‘briefing’ by Dr Stephen Greer in 1993 who told him what civilian researchers had discovered about UFOs. Woolsey then ordered the CIA to prepare a report on all its information about UFOs. Woolsey was part of a hushed up effort by the Clinton administration to find the truth about UFOs. His failure to force the CIA to give the Clinton administration access to its X-Files, is possibly why Woolsey eventually became estranged from President Clinton and rarely got to meet him.

The initial nominations of Panetta as CIA Director and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State first signalled that the Obama administration was also interested in the declassification of X-Files from different government agencies. John Podesta was a key figure in the selection of Panetta and Clinton by Obama, and appears to be playing a similar role to what he played in the Clinton administration in encouraging the declassification of X-Files. The subsequent confirmation of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State meant that a key Clinton era figure involved in an earlier effort to release government X-Files would once again be in a position to seek declassification of UFO information. Panetta's February 12 Senate confirmation now adds a powerful new element in what increasingly appears to be a coordinated effort by former Clinton era figures to steer the Obama administration towards locating and declassifying UFO files. Panetta is now in a position to finally finish what the Clintons had first attempted and pressure the CIA to release its deepest held secrets – X-Files concerning UFOs and extraterestrial life.

The dawning of the Age of Aquarius: A rare astrological concentration

We measure our global sense of both space (longitude) and time (universal time - UT or GMT) from the prime meridian located at Greenwich, England. We can perceive the collective influence of this momentous astrological event by looking at the alignment from this globally 'centered' perspective. When we do, something extraordinary and exquisite emerges.

At dawn on 14th February the day dedicated to St Valentine, the patron saint of Love, the Moon in Libra enters the seventh house of relationships. And Jupiter and Mars are aligned in Aquarius in the twelfth house of spiritual transformation.

Forty years ago, the intuitive words of a song called Aquarius, brought the dawning of the new age into our collective awareness:

When the Moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars.

At dawn on 14th February the Cosmos actually embodies this perfect alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace and the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

The Aquarian chart of 14th February reveals an incredible concentration of cosmic influences blending with the energies of Aquarius in the twelfth house. Expansive Jupiter and energetic Mars are aligned with the higher purpose of the North Node. The presence of Chiron the wounded healer offers us the opportunity to heal the schisms that have separated us for so long. Neptune emphasizes collective humanitarian movements and the co-creation of social justice. And the presence of the radiant Sun enlightens the entire alignment.

Mercury also in the twelfth house but just beyond the cusp in Capricorn, allies with transformational Pluto to communicate and anchor the Shift throughout our global structures and institutions.

The Moon in Libra in the seventh house emphasizes harmonious real –ationships.

Venus in Aries in the first house energizes and empowers dynamic co-creativity.

And whilst Saturn the great task master in opposition to Uranus the unexpected awakener is suggesting an ongoing confrontation as the dregs of the unsustainable old paradigm reluctantly give way to the untested hope of the new, their placements in Virgo and Pisces brings practical altruism and visionary inspiration to the transition.

At 7.25am on 14th February – and for the 18 minutes of the alignment, I invite you, in the universal heart, to add your own intention for love and peace and to co-create the dawning of the Age of Aquarius to that of the Cosmos. In whatever way feels appropriate for you, you may choose to align with7.25am (UT) or 7.25am your own local time energizing a wave of intention that will surge around the Earth.

UFO Hunters - Aliens at the Airport

Running Time : Approx 45 mins
A UFO sighting above Chicago's largest airport leaves authorities scrambling for answers...

There are approximately 30,000 commercial flights in the United States every day...and as the number of flights increase, so does the proximity of UFO encounters. On November 7th, 2006, a strange object hovered for ten minutes over Gate C17 at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago before rapidly ascending into the sky.

And on October 23rd of 2004, in Osaka, Japan a UFO was spotted tailing Japanese Airlines flight 1512 as it came in for a landing. Are UFOs following our own commercial aircraft, and surveying our airports? The team sifts through the evidence of these and other mysterious cases to determine if UFOs have a peaceful or malevolent agenda.

Ufo Video From Turkey Shows Alien Occupants

This extraordinary incident took place in a compound in Kumburgaz/Istanbul was witnessed by many residents and filmed by the same night guard Yalcin Yalman as it was in 2007,

The images captured are expected to have a tremendous impact throughout the world and be listed as "the most important UFO/extraterrestrial images ever filmed in the world"

During the 4months, between May and September 2008, many nationwide UFO sightings were reported from different parts of Turkey, while some of them were filmed and photographed and aired. Within the same period of time, these objects also witnessed by the residents of Kumburgaz/Yeni Kent Compound, caught on video several times by a night guard named Yalcin Yalman and these footages are considered as the closest and the most significant images ever filmed around the world.

In these amazing UFO video footages which would likely have major repercussions around the world and be listed as the most significant UFO videos ever, physical forms of UFOs and their metallic structures are clearly noticeable. Whats more important is that in the close-up of some footages of the objects, entities in them can be distinctly made out.

Hillary Clinton desire for UFO & extraterrestrial diplomacy

February 7, 9:50 AM

by Michael Salla, Ph.D., Honolulu Exopolitics Examiner

When 12 years old, Hillary Clinton wrote a letter to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration on how to apply to be an astronaut. She received a reply from NASA that women were not admitted into the astronaut corps. In the 1990s, during her White House years, Hillary participated in a clandestine effort by the Clinton administration to find out the truth about UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Clinton administration efforts to be officially briefed were unsuccessful. FOIA documents requested by Grant Cameron, a Canadian UFO researcher, show the Clintons instead received an informal briefing by billionaire philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller. After her unsuccessful presidential bid and offer by President-Elect Obama to be Secretary of State, former President Bill Clinton revealed that becoming the nation’s chief diplomat was Hillary’s life long dream. All these background facts suggest Hillary Clinton desires to conduct diplomatic relations with extraterrestrial life.

Hillary Clinton is likely to continue her clandestine efforts to be officially briefed about extraterrestrial life. As the nation’s top diplomat, she has excellent prospects in gaining access to classified X-files within the State Department concerning UFOs and extraterrestrial life. If she succeeds, she will be surprised to learn that diplomatic relations with extraterrestrial life have already occurred during the Eisenhower administration.

In 1954,compelling evidence exists that President Dwight Eisenhower conducted face-to-face nuclear diplomacy with extraterrestrials concerned about U.S. nuclear testing. On February 20, nine days before the detonation of the largest ever Hydrogen bomb test on March 1, Eisenhower was secretly taken to Edwards Air Force base for a highly classified meeting with representatives from another planet. The meeting was so classified that the entire base was shut down for a three day period and a cover story was developed to account for Eisenhower’s absence. Hearing reports of something strange happening at Edwards AFB, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times both tried to fly and drive to the base. Both times he was rebuffed by Edwards AFB security that told him the base was closed. Base closures are very rare for the U.S. Air Force, and an unprecedented event in the history of Edwards AFB (formerly Muroc Army Air Field).

Many witnesses have come forward to reveal aspects of Eisenhower meeting with ambassadors from another world on February 20, 1954. If nuclear diplomacy was indeed the topic of the discussions, the detonation of the Bravo Hydrogen bomb on March 1 signified the failure of the talks. The detonation of the Hydrogen bomb and the talk’s failure must have come as a great disappointment to President Eisenhower. Less three months earlier, on December 8, 1953, he gave his famous Atoms for Peace speech at the United Nations General Assembly. He proposed that the UN take control of the world’s nuclear stockpile and use it for peaceful purposes. At the upcoming International UFO Congress, in Laughlin Nevada (February 22-28), I will show how Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace Speech was very likely influenced by his knowledge of extraterrestrial concern over radiation from nuclear weapons testing.

In just under two weeks, the 55th anniversary of the alleged Eisenhower meeting with extraterrestrials will occur. A conclusive answer to whether the meeting occurred or not will be found in the State Department’s X-Files. Hillary is likely to be surprised at what she finds. While Hillary never became an astronaut, she may soon succeed with her secret desire for UFO and extraterrestrial diplomacy.

British UFO reports from 2008 released

16:09 GMT, February 8, 2009
Nearly 300 reports of possible UFO incidents from 2008 showing the date, time, location and a brief description of each sighting have been published on the UK MOD's website this week.

Among the incidents reported were 30 UFOs seen in February 2008 in West Yorkshire, a triangular craft with lights on each corner hovering at aircraft-height above Slough, and a fast-moving green object seen in May above the M6 motorway in the West Midlands!

The MOD receives a large number of requests every year for information relating to UFOs, and therefore introduced a system to meet this demand, releasing the first files to the public in May 2008.

Since then further dossiers have been released relating to reports of sightings over recent years.

See:
http://ufos.nationalarchives.gov.uk
http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/FreedomOfInformation/PublicationScheme/SearchPublicationScheme/UfoReportsInTheUk.htm

Further incidents in the latest report relating to 2008 include the following description from Tonbridge in Kent: "An object was flying around in circles at aeroplane level and sounded like an industrial train. There was a strange flashing on the object."

From Doncaster, South Yorkshire: "A metallic, capsule-shaped object. There was no sound. The object was moving from South East to North West, and was going quite fast and didn't slow down at any point."

And opposite the Houses of Parliament in London the following incident was reported: "There was a craft that had green, red and white lights. It was still and static in the sky. Was seen for about an hour-and-a-half."

On New Year's Eve at the end of 2008 an Essex Police Officer reported: "A bright orange/yellow light in the sky. Quite large, 1,500-2,000ft [457-609m] up. Moved very slowly in a half-circle then stopped over the water between Brightlingsea & East Mersea. Shot straight up and disappeared very fast."

And in Bristol: "A big alien craft landed on the top of the witness's house. The craft then flew off over Bristol."

Reports of UFOs are examined by the Ministry of Defence solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised military activity.

If required, sighting reports are examined with the assistance of the Department's air defence experts. Unless there is evidence of a potential threat, no further work is undertaken to identify the nature of each sighting reported.

The Ministry of Defence has no other interest or role regarding UFO matters and does not consider questions regarding the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial life-forms.
