Orb UFO's

I stumbled across another rather mundane possible explanation for some of the "orb" UFOs at www.rense.com. They've got video footage of a daylight UFO and among other things considered in their arm chair analysis was a special type of weather balloon.

It occurs to me looking at this that the metallic silver color would reflect the sky brightness and color making it relatively invisible. The spiky things, from a distance too far to resolve, might give it a fuzzy appearance.

Still, I don't think it's what's being seen in Surrey because those are bright in the infrared. And here, the degree of blur was too much to be explained even by the spikes. Still this puppy has definite UFO potential.

Abductions

There are skeptics and there are debunkers. The skeptics require evidence to be convinced a phenomena exists, the debunkers won't even look at the evidence. I am comfortable with the former but not the latter.

The abduction phenomena is dismissed as anything from psychosis to sleep paralysis to past abuse by many vocal debunkers in spite of the fact that there is quite a lot of evidence suggesting there is a real phenomena involved. It might be very different than we understand because the abductors are so advanced that we are unfamiliar with the technologies and processes involved.

This isn't to say that all UFO abductions are real. There are improperly trained hypnotists which lead a subject and install false memories in the process. There are people who are psychotic. There are people who suffer from sleep paralysis. There are a host of other phenomena that can lead people to believe they've been abducted. All of these causes of false abduction beliefs and reports have existed for years, and continue to exist. Yet, there has been a substantial decline if not total cessation of alien abductions recently.

Until about July of 2006, it's not difficult to find reports of UFO abductions. Between July and November of 2006, the numbers dwindled. And while I've had people assert in comments that they are still happening, I have not been able to locate a single case since November of 2006, nor has the person who asserted they were ongoing provided me with a single case. If this phenomena were not real in large part, what accounts for the sudden cessation?

If it is real, why has it suddenly stopped? Perhaps the grays, behind the abductions, have completed their mission to create a hybrid race. Or perhaps the grays have failed in their mission of creating a hybrid race and reached the conclusion it is not possible. Perhaps someone or something is interfering with their ability to abduct people. I received e-mail claiming three security ships near a portal visibly near Arcturus were preventing the grays from coming and going. There is this frightening possibility; the grays have stopped returning abductees. People still go missing all the time, maybe a percentage of those are abductees who formerly would have been returned but now are being consigned to an alien zoo or alien cuisine. "To Serve Man is a cook book!"

Most people abducted by the grays are abducted repeatedly throughout their lives and the abductions follow family lines. If they are abducted, it is likely one of their parents were, and one of their grandparents were, and their kids will be. So one area of research would be to find out if those who have had repeat abductions are still with us and not having them, or are missing.

Grays may be extratemporal rather than extraterrestrial. A hybrid could not be produced unless the species involved were genetically close. The cellular machinery of one species which is not genetically related to another would not know how to interpret the genetic instructions of that unrelated species. If they are our very distant descendants, that would explain the reason the abductions occur along familial lines. The families involved are those who successfully propagated into the future and were the specific ancestors of the grays. Those families not being abducted are the ones that didn't cut the mustard and were eliminated from the gene pool.

The grays possess many adaptations that suggest adaptation to a low light red light low food availability environment. They may be our descendants from billions of years in the future, when the sun has entered the red giant phase. Perhaps they've migrated to more distant regions of the solar system. Over billions of years plant pigments and their body pigments have both adapted to life in the infrared. The grays eyes have evolved into a form capable of working with low light peaking in the infrared. Their bodies have become small and efficient to subsist on limited food. Their skin is gray because the pigments in their body are selective in the infrared. They are no longer equipped to deal with significant UV since our Sun no longer has significant output in the UV spectrum during their time. No melanin, blood pigments changed to longer wavelength pigments, skin appears to absorb light equally across the visible spectrum, skin is gray.

Why would they be here? In their time, our Sun can no longer sustain them anywhere in the solar system. Going back in time was easier than going to another star system. In so doing they created another time line and are not truly our descendants. The time lines bifurcated and diverged at the point in time when they came back and arrived here. We are not genetically diverged from their time line descendants yet, and thus viable gene donors. Because a new time line was created, eliminating us will not create a paradox or eliminate them. We are disposable.

They are not adapted for present conditions. UV in sunlight would give them rapid sunburn and cancer. Their eyes would be overwhelmed by the bright light. They are adapting by creating a hybrid race using humans from this time frame that are genetically compatible because we have not diverged genetically significantly from their ancestors in their time line. Abductions appear to have stopped and UFO sightings are up. They may intend to take over this planet in this time line so their now modified race can continue to live and evolve for another billion or two years at which point they'll do it again. The process of taking over this planet may involve our elimination. They can do this because they're not from our time line, we're not truly their ancestors.

If anyone knows of any UFO alien abduction cases after November of 2006, I would appreciate it if you would contact me with details.

F-117 Electro-Cloak

I heard rumors about an electrical device on the F117 where by they charge the exhaust from the engines and as the plane moves away those charges are separated building up a tremendous voltage, basically using the same principal as the Van De Graff generator.

There are claims from some people that this creates an anti-gravity effect via the Biefield-Brown effect. The aircraft becomes the positive charged end and everything else the negative.

I've also heard that yes, it does provide better speed and fuel economy but not through anti-gravity but rather through aerodynamic effects. It is said that the very high positive charge on the nose of the aircraft charges air out in front of it positive and since like charges repel the air molecules rush away from each other thinning the air out before the nose of the plane gets there.

Today I read a military explanation that the charge enhances the airplanes invisibility to radar allowing a closer approach before being detected.

I've seen a number of photos on the Internet showing it transforming to a white orb, not an orb matching the sky but a distinctly white orb. Of coarse I don't know if those may have been altered. Also, when a plane goes hypersonic, there is a condensation cloud that rapidly forms around it because of the shock wave and propagates back.

What I photographed in late March appeared in two images and hadn't moved far between them. If it had been an F-117 it would have moved considerably.

If high voltage is in fact causing this visual effect, I sure would like to understand how.

What They Aren't

While I still don't know what the orb like objects are, I know reasonably sure what they're not. What they're not is the Stratellite communications balloons. Those are equipped with GPS and station keeping propulsion so they stay in one place to provide communications services.

I photographed the same area the orb was last present today when that portion of the sky was clear, no orbs, or much else of interest. If those had been a Stratellite device, it would have still been there.

Tethered To A Rock

Hearing reports of mother ships releasing five or six ships after leaving a portal in space which then come to earth lead me to wonder if mother ships are really ships as we think of them, vehicles for getting from one place to the next.

I wonder if space faring races, once they reach a technological level where space travel becomes trivial and where control over their environment becomes nearly absolute, I wonder then if these advanced races don't actually prefer to no longer be tethered to a rock.

They may consider it far too confining, and the environment may be far less pleasant to them than their artificial ship environment. They may spend generation after generation traveling through space, completely nomadic, bringing agriculture or other food creating technology with them on their travels.

For what purpose do they exist? Do they exist just to reproduce and exist some more? To spread their life form as widely as possible throughout the universe? Do they look for God? Do they attempt to help less advanced species advance? Or enslave them? Or perhaps they have a taste for alien meat?

I try to think of what we would do if we had that technology at our disposal. Man seems to have a difficult time finding meaning in life unless we're struggling to stay alive.

Orb Wars

I stumbled across an excellent site dealing with the phenomena of orb UFO's called Orb Wars.

This site is definitely worth a look and a book mark. They have many photos of orb UFO's very much like those that I photographed, but most strikingly they have photographs of stealth aircraft changing into an orb form. I do not believe this is what I photographed because those moved only very slowly in the sky, but many of the photos do resemble closely what I photographed and at the very least it documents technology that our government isn't telling us about.

This site draws a connection between stealth fighters, orbs, and the 9/11 twin tower event.

The author also has some of the best prismatic effects, rainbows in clouds, that I have ever seen. I have photographed prismatic cloud effects but none as brilliant as these.

Where I have greater difficulties is with the chemtrail material, I see nothing in those photos other than ordinary contrails. The author is apparently unfamiliar with atmospheric conditions that are right on the verge of saturation that causes contrails to dissipate very slowly.

UFO Freeway / Portal

Regarding the existence of a UFO freeway which is being guarded by three red security ships that blow ships belonging to grays up if they try to leave.. Subsequent events since talking to Ted have lead me to believe this is may be a scam designed to get eyes on his products.

He has subsequently sent half a dozen e-mails advertising another domain that brokers mortgages and home security products. The latter supposedly can serve to make it just impossible for the grays to come in and abduct us while we're sleeping. Undoubtedly a civilization that has come here from half-way across the galaxy, and can travel through walls or beam people up through the ceiling, such a civilization couldn't possibly figure out a way around Ted's superior technology.

After doing a bit of Google searching, I've discovered that this has been the pattern all over the Internet, get the word out about the Space Freeway, and oh by the way if you need a mortgage or home security product...

However, I have found many reports worldwide of activity within this region though not limited to the triangle at the end of the Big Dipper handle as he illustrates but also all along the handle. Perhaps this is not particularly surprising since the Big Dipper is one of the most recognized constellations and frequently a reference point for finding other things in the sky, thus it has a lot of eyes on it. So at this point I'll just reserve judgment but did feel the commercial aspects of this UFO freeway promotion worth mentioning.

UFO Flap Over Canada March 2007 - American Chronical

This article in the American Chronicle lists UFO sightings in Canada during March of 2007.

The American Chronicle treats the subject very factually and provides substantial details. It is interesting to note that the March UFO flap (which appears to be continuing into April and perhaps even intensifying) appears to be very widespread with a large number of reports in the US, Canada, France, and UK.

The spherical craft, such as I have photographed, seem to be frequently reported in both the US and Canada presently as well as elsewhere. Black triangles also seem to be commonly sighted but not frequently photographed with clarity which I find strange since they usually are reported to be slow moving and large, and thus easy photographic targets.

Fun With Photoshop

This picture featured in Our Strange World claims to be a flying saucer that was made for the Russian Air Force in the 1950's. I wouldn't doubt that the Russians had at some point pursued something along the lines but I think this particular photo fits under the heading, "Fun with Photoshop".

You will note the left edge of the saucer facing us is reflecting strongly in our direction suggesting a light source behind our left shoulder, however, the jet in front of it is not illuminated in this same region.

Additionally, I doubt the Russians would leave such an item parked out in the open for our spy planes and satellites to photograph, let alone allow their military personal to distribute photographs. It has also weathered remarkably well for a fifty year old aircraft.

News You Can't Use

In the news you can't use department, from the "World of Royalty Blog", otherwise known as the "Ask Me If I Give a Flying er UFO Blog", I learned today that Prince Philip had once planned to meet with Adam Adamski but apparently decided meeting with a UFO abductee was just too dangerous. I mean you just never know when those pesky aliens might return and you'd be in a for a probing yourself.

Apparently, he was also concerned about potential embarrassment of the Royals if it leaked. He should talk to Charles, I'm sure Charles could provide Prince Philip with a few pointers on the subject of Royal Embarrassment.

I'm actually with Monty Python on this one, "Some woman lyin' at the bottom of a lake distributing swords is no basis of government. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart throws a sword at you."

I wonder which the aliens would find more humorous, the insanity that happens in a "democracy", or in British Royalty?

UFO activity

UFO activity seems to be way up, not just here on the west coast, although it seemed to pick up here first, but now all over, Canada, England, China, and these orb like UFOs that I captured on camera seem to be well represented in current UFO reports. There are many videos of these objects, often multiple objects.

A problem with the video is that the resolution is so low that it is hard to know if you're really looking at an orb shaped UFO or just something ordinary at the limit of the cameras resolution.

That's why I am encouraging those of you who want to try to photograph these to use the lowest ISO speed setting on your digital camera (minimum noise) and highest resolution (best detail) with the most lossless compression available to you (raw if you have it).

These orb-like objects sometimes appear white, often match the color and brightness of the sky real closely, so enhancing the contrast on photos and then reviewing them is helpful.

What is the meaning of this recent upsurge? Is it a genuine increase in incidents or i the public just more willing to report it?

Orb UFO filmed in Leyland England

This orb shaped UFO was filmed in Leland England, allegedly associated with chemtrails but they look like totally ordinary contrails to me. You be the judge.

Area 51 Orb

This object uploaded to youtube.com on February 25, 2007 but no date given with respect to when it is filmed, resembles a lot the two objects I caught on still shots.

This was filmed over area 51. Towards the very end they back off the zoom to include the roof of the house so you can get some perspective on the objects size and height and tell that it's not just a light in front of the camera.



This one is very similar, April 7, 2007, but they don't say where they filmed it. It goes behind a contrail at one point in the video.

UFO/ET Trends

This last year has seen some strange developments in the UFO/ET scene.

The abduction phenomena seems to have all but entirely died. I haven't been able to find any reports after November of 2006, and they were very sparse after July of 2006. I am wondering is if they've truly stopped or if there has been a large effort to suppress their reporting, and if the death of Harvard professor John Mack wasn't accidental but rather a part of that suppression effort.

UFO sightings seem to be up substantially, especially on the North American West Coast. The types of UFOs being sighted seem to be shifting from the classic saucer shaped UFOs to a combination of black triangle or "V" shaped craft and orbs or spherical craft such as what I recently photographed, and occasional weird light blob formations for lack of a better description such as those recently by Dawne Berry.

There have also been a number of governments worldwide that have released UFO information. The French government in particular setup a website (linked on the sidebar) that crashed shortly after it was turned up due to an unexpectedly heavy load.

In the US, our government still seems determined to convince us we're not seeing what we're seeing, it's an optical illusion (that punches holes in clouds and fools seasoned pilots and airport tower supervisors) and a lot of what I consider disinformation (your mileage may vary), things like David Adair, claiming to have built a fusion rocket at age 13, and then examined a similar but more advanced alien version, or Bob Lazar claiming to have gained an understanding of how alien craft use element 115 for propulsion, but can't explain any details in any rational sense. I don't know if these people are just individual attention seekers or thrown in the mix to confuse.

I am mostly curious as to the significance of the apparent cessation of abductions and increase in sightings, what is up, what are these stealthy craft I and others have photographed? Something is changing but I don't know what or why.

More UFO's in Surrey, BC, Canada

Today, I received e-mail also from Dawne Berry, the woman in Surrey BC that had been photographing objects similar to what I had (as well as very unsimilar things).

She has some new images taken on April 11 and today (for three more minutes) April 13, 2007.

Click on the link above to see the photos on her site.

Space Portal

I received some interesting e-mail today and after much thought I've decided to link the website related to it, www.we-are-not-alone.us, and just offer it without too much commentary beyond to say that I'll take a look later this year when Arcturus is visible.

Something is happening - Extremely important - Something is happening - Do
our Governments know about this?

I've been watching a special location in the Heavens for 30 years, (UFO
Universe Freeway Entrance/Portal) and have seen several hundred mother ships
and planetary vehicles come and go. Since August, something has changed.

Three (3) small red Alien Ships are controlling the entrance. I've not seen
one Alien mother ship come or go since this started. They move fast, they
chase one another, they hold in place; this has been going for several weeks
now. You don't require anything more than your own eyes. But you have to be
in a dark location, you will not be able to see them if your in a city. If
you can see the Big Dipper, look to the south around Arcturus and watch
between 9 pm and Midnight. They are too dark and move to fast to record with
any normal camera.

I think they're here for a reason. Are they protecting our planet for some
reason?
If so - WHAT? - WHY?

They have to be security ships - very powerful and are controlling what
alien civilizations visit our galaxy - what other reason could there be?

I hope you can see the Big Dipper from your home. Good luck, enjoy, this is
exciting, but scary at the same time!


The 3 Ships spend time parked lined up with Muphrid, then they travel
through this area.

Could This Be What I Photographed?

Could this object, from a Wired Magazine article on Stratellite's be what I photographed? These are spherical lighter than air ship designed to remain stationary at a location 13 miles high in the stratosphere to provide communications.

Seen in the daytime they are white and so would reflect the color of the surrounding sky. They should appear fuzzy though like the objects my photographs (and that is a property of the object because other items in the same photo are clear).

Spherical UFO's

I'd still like to encourage people that haven't seen them yet to take a look at the objects that I photographed back in August and then again this March. You can see them in the March archive.

Given the highly stealthy nature of these things I am concerned they may be far more common in our skies than we realize and if so then I think there is some cause for concern and we should learn more about them.

UFO Humor (Extreme Farm Simulator)

I have a games blog where most of these sort of things go but I felt this one was so perfect for theme here and occasionally a little injection of humor is necessary.

Toyes - Waiting For The Aliens

Listening to various songs, Waiting for the Aliens comes up in which the singer wants to fly the aliens ship. I can identify with that. In my experience I never got off the ground. It was novel to be sure but still it's just sitting there in a clearing four blocks from home with the door open.

The Billy Meier contacts fascinated me when I first heard about them for a variety of reasons. I know a lot of people now think the whole thing was faked, but that's not my opinion. I think they started out with genuine contacts. I was particular impressed with the 8mm footage and the still shots of the beam ship around the tree (proving it wasn't done with a toy model), and also the shoots out of the ships windows of an alien planet.

Personally, I'd like a ride to an alien planet with the ability to take my digital camera and a couple dozen 2 gig memory cards. The ultimate in tourism. No probes though please.

We're arriving at a point where I'm wondering if we have any prayer of surviving our technology. Seeing the home planet of an alien civilization that has mastered interstellar travel might provide some clues. I wonder sometimes though if human beings just don't have the right stuff. Something in our evolutionary history perhaps predisposed us to violence and greed.

It's clear that catastrophic events have punctuated human evolution, some of them nearly driving us to extinction. I wonder if, in the aftermath of those events, it wasn't the violent who survived. Perhaps an alien civilization evolved without such periodic interruptions.

How would our immune systems would cope with native microbial life on other planets? I suspect that our biology is different enough that viruses probably wouldn't be a huge threat because our cellular machinery would not know how to decode their genetic instructions. Alien bacteria possessing it's own cellular machinery and only needing us as a food source might be a larger problem.

I don't really feel like I belong on this planet anyway. I'd rather be somewhere that people do things for some reason other than because everybody else is doing them. Any alien race with the ability to get here from another star system surely has a much more evolved civilization and culture than we.

So alien dudes come give me a ride to your home planet, let me take my digicam and take a bunch of photos and then bring me back so I can put them up on the blog here. That would make it killer!

Former Canadian Defense Minister Urges Alien Technology Use

Former Canadian defense minister, Paul Hellyer suggests the use of alien technology is the best way to save the planet. Read about it in the Ottawa Citizen.

Debunkers Bunk

I am angered by debunkers who write articles like this article in LiveScience.com. I don't mind skeptics, someone who is open to whatever the data suggests but unwilling to believe it suggests something out of the ordinary without actually seeing the data. But debunkers, who dismiss the data outright without ever having seen it are another matter altogether.

Without some independent confirmation or other evidence, it’s hard to know what the United Airlines employees might have seen. But is it more likely that they saw an optical illusion, or that a large, unknown object hovered over one of the country’s busiest airports without being seen by anyone else or appearing on radar?

There were many witnesses that saw this object and were quite clear about what they had seen, including that it had punched a hole through the clouds when it left. Optical illusions don't do that.

The lights over Arkansas and Arizona had something in common: they were both seen near military bases, at a time when Air Force pilots were dropping very bright flares from parachutes during training. The flares, producing in some cases nearly 2 million candlepower, would be visible for miles.

Never mind the fact that many people witnessed a structure, not merely lights, including the former Governor of Arizona and that some got it on video.

I got one comment on the photographs I took that "it's a plane", in spite of the fact that there are photographs with planes and the shape can be resolved down to the point where the fuselage is only one or two pixels thick, and that spherical objects (which clearly show spherical reflective patterns) are about sixteen pixels wide in one picture, six pixels wide in the other, and in that other photo there are other objects in the same photo that do resolve down to one or two pixels.

And then there is the person in Surrey that keeps photographing the same kind of spherical plane which can't be brought into focus even in an optical telescope, the "blur" to them is a property of the object. I can't totally rule out a plane but if it's a plane it's one with the ability to hover for long periods of time with a very stealthy system that almost renders it invisible optically (though it remains highly visible in the infrared).

I do know about a type of plane, one that uses I guess we could coin the term magnetoplasmadynamics, in as much as it uses a nuclear reactor to provide power, a plasma torch to ionize the air, and a system of superconductive magnets to move the air through ports and produce thrust.

I am aware that there have been some primitive attempts at optical cloaking involving meta-materials that move light around an object such that you can see what is behind it but that at present these materials only function at one particular wavelength. Now perhaps black budget projects have developed this capability more than we know and somehow applied it to these nuclear magnetoplasmadynamic planes.

These "planes" normally take the form of a black triangle with three lights (which are the ports where the plasma is pumped through) at each corner. I don't see how the they could apply meta-material cloaking to this technology however since it would have to cover the ports and by doing so render the craft inoperable.

I won't deny the LiveScience.com authors note that both of these sightings appeared near Air Force bases. I think it's worth noting that the whole UFO phenomena seemed to take off right after we exploded the first atomic bomb. I can't help but wonder if we weren't discovered as a result. What was the cause of that gamma ray burst?

I also wonder why the author considers the possibility of extraterrestrial craft unlikely. In the universe there is something on the order of 10²⁶ stars, give or take a few. In this galaxy alone there is somewhere around 10¹². Approximately half of the stars we have surveyed have planetary systems and that is with the limitation of only being able to detect Jupiter sized planets or large in near orbits, with the rare exception of catching a planetary transit event. In this solar system Earth is definitely capable of harboring life. Mars most likely has bacteria and possibly lichens. Several moons of Jupiter and Saturn may have under ice oceans capable of harboring life.

Anybody that follows physics and how rapidly that field has evolved over the last hundred years or so must understand that our understanding of physics is far from complete.

So exactly what is it that makes extraterrestrial craft unlikely? Space is large yes, but so are the possibilities of life within that space. We don't know physics well enough to know there isn't a way of getting here from another star system in a timely manner. So exactly what is it that makes it unlikely? The truth is absolutely nothing.

Responsible science, it seems to me, would hold off making assumptions when inadequate data exists and instead would seek to add to the existing knowledge base.

UFO China

China is not without it's UFO sightings.


I thought I was looking at some kind of advertising blimp until it winked out. After it winked out I'm more inclined to think someone with a computer and video manipulation software had too much time on their hands. However, initially both the building and the object were out of focus and come into focus simultaneously. So I don't know, this one is strange.



The interesting stuff is near the end.
Alien ship or ball lightning?



The object is in focus when distant objects are in focus and goes out of focus when the camera focuses close up on the window frame proving it's not a toy close up. It moves relative to other objects. It's not a street lamp.



This one is somewhat interesting too. Unfortunately, when the camera operator zooms in the camera goes out of focus so you never get to see detail.



This looks like something burning up on re-entry except it seems to move way too slow and never breaks up.

Photos

The photo I captured the UFO in that I took in August of 2006 is here, the photo I captured a similar UFO in this March of 2007 is here.

These are in the March 2006 archives but I've added links here because people keep asking.

UFO / Orbs - Look For Them!

If you have seen or photographed objects like I did last August or at the end of March (see the March archive of this blog for photos), please contact me.

There is one person up on Surrey BC Canada who is seeing and photographing a similar object north of Surrey. There are some interesting aspects of these objects. During the day they come very close to matching the brightness and color of the sky so they are not noticeable to the naked eye or un-processed photograph.

However, contrast enhancement brings them out and makes them visible. They can be seen on unprocessed photographs or with the naked eye if you know where to look and what to look for but they are just barely visible.

They apparently give off heat as they are highly visible using infrared sensitive equipment at night, at least in the case of the object north of Surrey.

The fuzzy appearance, like they aren't entirely in focus, is part of their nature. You can see in both photos that I took objects with smaller pixel counts that are focused, and you can see in the picture I took yesterday, which there wasn't a UFO, there was an airplane in the same general location and it was in focus.

Further, the person in British Columbia trained a telescope on one and it will not come into focus on the telescope either.

So what we know about these objects so far, they're stealthy in the visible spectrum, they give of infared, radiating heat, which makes them highly visible to IR sensitive cameras at night.

They appear defocused, both in visible light and infrared, and this is a property of them, not merely equipment out of focus.

They have been visible from Shoreline and Edmonds Washington to the north, and from Surrey BC to the north. If it were one object that hadn't moved, it would have to be very high and very huge. It does appear to come and go though so it might be more than one object that visits both areas or it might be more than one similar object.

It is the last possibility that concerns me the most. If there is one near here, one a hundred miles to the north, is there only the two or are there thousands or even tens of thousands of these floating around in the sky worldwide, and if so to what end.

For this reason I'd really like to hear from others outside of the immediate area. Try photographing clear skies, use the lowest ASA setting and highest resolution on your camera, manually focus at infinity because with no subject in the field your camera may be out of focus otherwise, take pictures. Then take a program like PaintShop Pro and use the "Clarify" function, or else manually enhance the contrast, then look for "orb" like objects in the sky.

If you see anything let us know!

No UFO Today...

I stopped by Richmond Beach to see if I could photograph the same spherical shaped UFO. Between the fact that I've photographed what appears to be the same 0bject twice in a similar location and a guy up in Surrey BC is photographing another similar object regularly, I thought perhaps this one would be there regularly as well.

It may have been though depending upon it's altitude, clouds may have obscured it as there was a fairly thick low cloud cover.

Addititional Sites

I've added links to the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, The Temporal Doorway's UFO Section, and to Project Blue Book Archives, all sites I ran across while searching for UFO photos in this area.

ECETI

I added a link to ECETI which stands for Enlightened Contact With ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence. You can judge for yourself how enlightened it is, but it does have a good UFO photo section which includes some objects similar to what I and the person with NewBranes up in Surrey have photographed.

I apologize for referring to them as just "The Person" but their profile is hidden so I don't know their name from the comments. Anyway, check it out.

French Government Releases UFO Information

The French government has decided to release information they have on UFO incidents in France. I've added a link to their site, Site du GEIPAN, on the side bar. As one might expect, the site is in French, although they state that they will make an English version available in the future.

Using a translator on the web will not be of much use as the majority of the documents are scanned images in PDF format. Since the translators will not work on images the majority of the text will remain in French even with the aid of a machine translation.

When they initially brought the site up, the traffic was so heavy that it crashed almost immediately. Consequently, there is little in the way of photographs and only a small amount of text documents presently on the site, but they do say they're working on it and will release 100% of the information, excepting that they will maintain the privacy and identities of the individuals reporting the incidents.

They divide the incident up into four categories, A) UFOs which are definitely identified, no longer UFOs, B) UFOs which are probably identified, C) UFOs which are unidentified because there isn't enough information, and D) which are UFOs which remain unidentified in spite of good information. The last category actually comprises about 25% of the incidents.

Object Photographed from Canada

I have added a link to NewBranes.com on the side bar. The photograph on the right is a photograph from their site of an object that is similar in appearance to the one I photographed except that this object is visible in the infrared at night.

Take a look, particularly at the ufo photos section. They appear to be photographing an object that is very similar in appearance to the one that I have photographed.

This object is particularly visible in the infrared at night. I don't know if this is the same object or not. The object I photographed last August from Edmonds was four times larger in apparent diameter than the object I photographed in late March from Richmond Beach. Edmonds is only 4-5 miles north of Richmond Beach so if it was the same object then it couldn't have been too far north of Edmonds unless it moved.

The object to the right was photographed from Surrey, BC, Canada, about 100 miles or so north of Edmonds. If it is the same object then it is quite high in the sky as it appears fairly high up in the sky from Edmonds and Richmond Beach.

This has been photographed repeatedly by the folks up in Surrey, it seems to be there quite frequently but not always.
