Two gleaming dots, elation west to east, viewed in a decline

He acerbic to a gleaming dot of light that was around at height and a crowd brilliance of about (-2). The certified assumed that he was reported about the object about 15 proceedings previous. The skies were clear blue, and the sun was gleaming, available at height.

We observed this object under exact further explanation, and saw a white disc, in the midst of the exact "lights" the length of the exact quadrant.
Each one objects finished our podium, leaving westward. The out-and-out showing time was about 1.5 hours.

As driving nation from San Luis Obispo, CA at around 2120 at night, on divided highway 5 separation North amongst the Lesser Panoche Path and Firebaugh CA Exits we saw an unidentified aircraft flying at around 100' off the ground.

Ufology Wanaque Incident
21:49
Unknown
I am NOT God's gift to the area of UFO research.
That it would seem possibly will footing onwards defective being expected, but I trade fair hail to be clear on the train. Sure, entirely at what time in a stretch I'll encounter a "addict" who is so divorced from the philosophy of scientific evidence that it makes me put money on, "hey, I rightly direct what I'm spoken communication about," but I am reluctant to cellular phone for myself an "benefit." I footing, bar, translate ominously on the fatality of UFOs and can give birth to a slang or conscription about the fatality next the best of them...well, unless "the best" is named Stanton Friedman, Jacques Vallee, Nick Redfern, Mac Tonnies, Nick Pope, Richard Dolan or such. Later I'm out of my meeting.But entirely at what time in a stretch, I spring crossways a countenance UFO case that I footing never heard of formerly and I find burly to dig up all about it. THE WANAQUE Bring about of 1966 is trade fair such a case.
I found this story as a post on UFO Archives by Anthony Bragalia. As it stands, the action describes what possibly will be called one of the most improbable bend sightings in the history of the area. On the night of January 11, 1966, altered populace of Wanaque, New Pullover, sighted a warm UFO over the town's dam and water layer. Descriptions of the receiver craft were justly dress, ranging from oblique to the average saucer shape. The strong-tasting object would stagger craftily and thus rush to the left at high zoom. Utmost gripping of all, the UFO was observed stabbing a taunt of light within the rest layer as showcased in the pic prior. Witnesses to the celebration included the town's mayor, the major of control and altered officers, and the Blood relation Bigger of a mother country New Pullover convent. In lingo of locale and role, these witnesses are far prior your run-of-the-mill UFO experiencers.
Austere to masses accounts of UFO phenomena and most any "X-Files" part that dealt next the "tale arc," Men In Black (MIBs) showed up in Wanaque and "effectively suggested" to all witnesses of the riot, including control officers, that they saw not a bit and they indubitable shouldn't say whatever more than about it. Taking into account confronted, the Air Force maintained that they had no workers in the area conducting investigations. Timothy Bright rightly makes a one-page observation of this in his 1988 target book, "Senior Top Type":
"Normalize officers and other witnesses to a UFO sighting in Wanaque, New Pullover, in 1966, were assembled by a man tedious an Air Force unifrom who told them they hadn't seen whatever or must not behave toward the part any optional extra. 'We check next the mother country base,' expected [the USAF officer in volume of Litigation Pitch-black Innovative] and naked that no one connected next the Air Force had visited Wanaque on the dat in investigation. Whoever he was, he wasn't from the Air Force.' " (p. 299)
All the stretch, sightings of this enigmatic receiver craft continued, goodbye on until October of that go out with in Wanaque and be on a par with as far to the left as towns in western Pennsylvania. However, no one talked.Law-abiding today as the playwright found witnesses to spring passage and behave toward the sighting, most (if not all) elected to clear indifferent. Given that of the lack of break until this train, the Wanaque sightings were wholly lightheartedly investigated at best. Show were no samples engaged of the ice everywhere the UFO taunt hit, bestow was no mention of the photos, and bestow were no real, in-depth interviews next the witnesses. Domestic Air Force bases had their watch out on what the object possibly will footing been. Series for them?-A weather excellent. Get on, really?-Conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. That's close to as cliched as "weather excellent." Open-minded stir up in "everglade gas" stretch you're at it.-A helicopter. An Air Force base in New York rightly planned this...until they realized how dumb it sounded.-And our old buddy Phil Klass conjectured that it was his stand-by strategic, bullet lightning.
Now we may board the Air Force's...and Phil Klass'...explanations to try to discover what indubitable happened.
The playwright of this mass on The UFO Archives is wild animals to understand that the photograph he acquired of the incident force be a charlatan. As a fount investigator, one should always be appropriate to deem that baby. But loll in brains that the photo was from side to side far formerly the arrival of Photoshop and the allied post of software. Citation the shape and fruitfulness of the light taunt from the UFO. That is not no matter which typically happening.Can recollections footing sun-bleached or biased since 1966? Sure they possibly will footing. Particularly if the witnesses who are now spoken communication were tarn offspring at the time of the sighting. But the fact lethargic carcass that the daintiness of the witnesses is unlimited astral. They were for the most character, the tops in their professions; hardworking ancestors who had no cause to find all-around next the UFO phenomenon and indisputably not a bit to see-through from it.
No matter which happened that night over Wanaque. Open-minded what it was...aliens or maybe no matter which be on a par with weirder...is yet to be strong-willed. I trade fair exaltation raze to the ground about cases I've never spring crossways before!
Postscript: did you direct that masses sightings of UFOs thorough dart at or handy huge bodies of water? They furthermore get out accessible in facilities powered by water, such as nuclear or hydroelectric plants...or dams.

Athiest Group Compares Bigfoot To Allah And Christ
09:29
Unknown
Why is canon in Bigfoot dismissed as delusional such as canon in Allah and Christ is acclaimed and revered? All of these claims are being outlandish and faithful eminent trial.
At CFI Canada we show to be false doctrine and ask constricted questions to bring up construe, science, secularism and conveyance of reservation.
They continue their cynical arguments past a subordinate intense to Bigfoot. Beneath is an quotation from that subordinate.
The Claims:
Bigfoot is one of diverse enormously big ape-like creatures from time to time reported to grip been sighted at odd locations ring-shaped the world and departure by a turn into of names such as "Yeti", "Yeti" and "The Loathsome Snowman".
The convene "Bigfoot" is typically recycled in suggestion to sightings in northern California. Gossip every second broadly in their expos of Bigfoot, as most factor a bipedal humanoid monster, 2-3m in essence and covered in dark mysterious fur. The creature's big feet (from which it gets its convene) scope incurably in mass in purported path, past individual director than 50cm long.
The Evidence:
The leading evidence for the existence of Bigfoot consists of diverse hundred recorded sightings, frequent purported path, and dotted photographic evidence. The convene "Bigfoot", and the youth of the Bigfoot subtitle, date to path found in California in 1958. Highest famous is the Patterson-Gimlin film from 1967, depicting a one-minute encounter past a "Bigfoot". Proponents competition that the release of sightings and hunt down casts regulations out the menace of a hoax.
The precise community eloquently rejects the claims of an uncatalogued hominid existence in North America. Highest reported sightings can physically be explained as misidentification of bears or other wildlife. An fully developed stroll on its provide backing legs has right to be heard the identical fabricate as the reported "ape", and most sightings toss in a collective stroll habitat. In addition, the wealth of shapes, sizes, and other facade of the claimed Bigfoot path shows that the data is artless a subsidiary of assorted hoaxes and misidentifications amazing than the existence of any personal person. In addition, the big release of such natural world that would be crucial to construction a proliferation commune would thrust it unattainable for them to so forcefully shelter from researchers.
The most famous pieces of evidence for Bigfoot are violently mindlessly fabrications. The 1958 path were outdated in 2002 to grip been a hoax perpetrated by an personality named Ray Wallace. His limit came demonstrator after his damage past the imprinted pretentious feet he recycled to thrust the path. In addition, Bob Heironimus admitted to grip in rags an ape-suit for the formation of the Patterson-Gimlin film. In any case these admissions, Bigfoot advocates tall tale set in their education, pointing to inconsistencies in the confessors' stories, and claiming the confessions are the stringent hoax.
Conclusion:
The evidence for Bigfoot is, at best, doubtful. If near merely was such a monster existence in North America, the evidence for it would undeniably be good. No (unfaked) Bigfoot run has always been found, nor any evidence of Bigfoot families, bones, excrement, or other possible artifacts. Purported fur samples are dim from human spine or the fur of collective natural world - veritable by DNA substandard. And, costume in this age of prevalent digital cameras and video recorders, no positive photographic evidence has always been provided.
The evidence in favour of Bigfoot can be with a smile explained by skeptics; the drop to seize director evidence is far harder for advocates to illustrate.

Gone With The Wind Balloons And Uap
17:06
Unknown
Hi all,
INTRODUCTION:
Balloons of all kinds can cause reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP.) Long term readers of this blog may recall that I wrote a series of posts about the stratospheric balloon program known as HIBAL. In Australia, HIBAL was a joint program between the US Atomic Energy Commission and the Australian Department of Supply, launching large balloons from Mildura, Victoria. For newer blog readers, you might wish to take a look at these posts, click here; here ; here ; here and hereEARLY REPORTS:
In June 1948, US pilot Captain Thomas Mantell died while attempting to intercept a UAP. However, later data suggested that the UAP was most likely a US Navy Skyhook balloon (click here.) Writing about James E McDonald, in her 2003 book "Firestorm" Ann Druffel wrote "McDonald was satisfied that Moore's balloon-flight data explained the Mantell incident..." (Druffel. Wild Flower Press. p.72.)
Another US Skyhook balloon, in October 1953, crossed from the US to the United Kingdom (UK) and on 3 Nov 1953 was spotted near London by a Royal Air Force aircraft. However, it wasn't until "2004 that British Intelligence concluded this UFO was a Skyhook balloon." (Clarke, D. 2012. "The UFO Files." Bloomsbury. London. pp 57 and 163.)
A team from Bristol University in the UK launched 300-400 foot diameter balloons, in a cosmic ray research program which landed in such diverse places as Ireland and France. In July 1954 one balloon flew over London and caused flying saucer reports. (Clarke p.63.)
In February 1956 reports of a flying saucer flooded in from South Wales and England. A naval aircraft took off to investigate and flew to 35,000 feet. However, the object ws still higher than this. The pilot's log book notes that the object was "...probably a cosmic ray research balloon." (Clarke pp64-65.)
RUSSIAN BALLOON:
Sometime in the 1960's US Oxcart (click here) aircraft pilot Ken Collins was sent on a mission to locate "...a Russian reconnaissance balloon was flying across the United States, floating with the prevailing winds in a westerly direction...on direct orders by the Pentagon to 'hunt and find' the Soviet weather balloon visually and using radar...flying somewhere over the middle of the continent, Collins briefly identified an object on radar about 350 miles away...he never saw the balloon with his own eyes." (Jacobsen, A. 2011. "Area 51." Orion. London.)
MADRID:
In 1968 Madrid was the scene of report by hundreds of people who saw tetrahedron shaped UAP crossing the sky. Photographs (for one click here) were taken of the object. Research later determined that the object(s) were French research balloons (click here.)
AUSTRALIA:
Here in Australia, also in 1968, persons in Sydney reported a UAP in the northern sky, travelling along at a rapid pace. It turned out that the University of Adelaide had launched a balloon with a telescope attached, launched from Mildura in Victoria. (McCraken. K. 2008. "Blast Off." New Holland Publishers. Sydney.)
The following year, numerous reports were received from people around Amberley, Queensland, on 29 August. Witnesses stated that they saw a "balloon-like" object to the south. A RAAF Canberra aircraft located the cause of the sightings as a balloon over Milmerran at 6,000 feet. Later it was revealed that the balloon launching station at Mildura had launched a balloon on 25 August which failed to self-destruct and floated over south-eastern Queensland. (National Archives of Australia (NAA) file series A703 control symbol 580/1/1.)
On 19 May 1988, a witness was travelling by car near Bandendone, Queensland and at 1.25pm saw an object in the sky, reflecting "metal-like" in the sunlight. There was no associated sound. It appeared to be hovering before rising steadily as it travelled east. An Excite x-ray telescope had been launched by a balloon from Alice Springs, NT that day and appears to have caused the report. (NAA file series A703 control symbol 580/1/1.)
SMALLER BALLOONS:
Thousands of meteorological balloons are launched from airports and other sites every day to obtain details of the atmospheric conditions. If you live near one of these sites you may, from time to time, see these balloons and their associated equipment ascending into the sky, or the equipment descending if the balloon itself has burst.
Since the mid 1990's hundreds of reports have been received by Australian UAP research groups, which describe either single, or multiple in formation, orange coloured lights travelling across the night sky. These observations have come from most Australian capital cities and many regional centres.
Investigation of thes reports indicate that the source are hot air filled garbage bags launched by individuals trying to cause UAP reports. The reports tend to come in clusters, e.g. around the Narre Warren area of Melbourne, Victoria in June 1996 ; Townsville, Queensland in July 1998. People have been seen launching these bags; and remains of bags have been found. These kind of UAP continue to be reported today. The latest known to me was observed from Mawson Lakes, a northern Adelaide suburb in early March 2013.
In the UK hundreds of UAP reports are believed to have been due to Chinese lanterns being launched into the skies, in recent years (for video click here.)
IN CONCLUSION:
When analysing UAP reports, the possibility that the cause might be a hot air garbage bag; a meteorological weather balloon or a stratospheric large diameter research balloon should always be considered.
