Corbell: "Unidentified glowing objects near US Navy ship" [Planes or drones?]

Article:
So here's the deal. I did find one, you know, piece interesting, it appears that there is a blinking what appears to be like a plane going overhead. I don't know, if that was a plane, I'm making the assumption It was a plane. But you know, remember when you go back into history with UFOs, I mean, we're talking as far back as they've ever been recorded, there have always been blinking UFOs, I'm not going to count that out. I'm gonna say I don't know. But it appears to me that the VIPR team individual, they're focusing on the UFOs, and then a plane happens to pass above, which was kind of interesting, because it's different looking. It's blinking, it's going. So that was neat. He didn't focus in on it, as far as I can tell. And I was told that if it was an object of extreme interest, the individual would have focused in on it. So as far as the...

What looks fake to me is the grain. It looks like the photoshop "Add Noise" filter, which adds noise at pixel resolution, rather than some actual film grain. So you get lots of random short lines.

UAPs, Bigelow, and the "Invisible College"

Article:
Puthoff was the brains behind what the intelligence community referred to as the "remote viewing program," and he worked with an informal group of colleagues on a range of paranormal issues, a team that Vallée termed the "invisible college." Over the next half-century, Puthoff would help to keep interest in UFOs alive inside the government.

In 1995, Project Stargate ended in failure. Government interest in UFOs and the paranormal might have faded away just as surely if not for the interest of a wealthy hotel magnate, Robert Bigelow, who had spent a lifetime obsessed with the paranormal and became a patron of UFO conspiracy theorists. Bigelow went into business with Area 51 conspiracy nut Bob Lazar, and he funded the research of dubious alien abduction...

In a recent interview with former Navy pilot Alex Dietrich, she encouraged people (specifically civilian pilots) who saw a UFO to report it to the FAA, and referenced a section of the FAA's FAR/AIM set of regulations.

External Quote:

Part of why I agreed to talk to you [...] is to reduce the stigma, so that when folks see something strange, they will come out and report it up the appropriate channels. [...] So FAA, Federal Aviation Administration has a page in their FAR/AIM manual [...] for you know, what to do if you see a UFO [...], and there's a phone number to call. And I would say, you know, if you see something, no prank calls, but if you see something real, call,

The Pentyrch UFO Encounter

  • 56,971
  • 156


Recently a new UFO incident in the UK has come to light. The Pentyrch Incident happened in February 2016 and has a primary witness called Caz Clarke. She suggests that a large interdimensional craft was spotted and hunted by the RAF and Army for 4 days near the sleepy village of Pentyrch in South Wales. The MoD refused to comment upon the incident but did say an exercise was happening in the area (well they would say that, wouldn't they!). Any of the soldiers that were asked about what they were doing were very shady and suspicious. There were loud bangs heard nearby and a local common (a large open field) has its area cleared of rubbish by the soldiers. The witness disputes the claim it was an exercise because the soldiers had "live rounds" in their guns.

Here's a news story about the event: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/strange-night-welsh-field-involving-15290890

Viral videos showing magnets sticking to the skin near a vaccination site are just a new twist on an old carnival trick. Magnets, coins, and other smooth objects will stick to skin if it's just very slightly oily. Remove the oil, and the object will not stick.

1971 Lake Cote / Lago de Cote UFO Aerial Photo

It's a classic, now over 50 years old. I was recently reminded of this by the New Yorker article:
Article:
Leslie Kean is a self-possessed woman with a sensible demeanor and a nimbus of curly graying hair. She lives alone in a light-filled corner apartment near the northern extreme of Manhattan, where, on the wall behind her desk, there is a framed black-and-white image that looks like a sonogram of a Frisbee. The photograph was given to her, along with chain-of-custody documentation, by contacts in the Costa Rican government; in her estimation, it is the finest image of a U.F.O. ever made public.

This official photo makes the Carters look very small, leading some more imaginative people to suggest it's a fake (without explaining WHY the government would fake such a thing,)

But it's just perspective, I replicated the effect myself.

BRIEFING / EVENT SERIES #1

An event series described involves the USS Russell.

This UAP event series took place during July of 2019 - involving Strike Group 9 within the Warning areas off of San Diego.

The USS Russell observed and recorded multiple "pyramid" shaped craft (see below image and video).




I suspect these are camera artifacts of mundane objects - specifically stars and a plane (the "flasher"). In the video there are two "pyramid" shapes on the left. The flasher moves towards them in exactly the same way planes move across...

Sphere, Acorn, Metallic Blimp - Three iPhone Photos From an F-18 via Mystery Wire

2021-04-07_11-56-49.jpg
Article:
Investigators with the Pentagon's UAP Task Force have requested that airmen try to document their encounters.

On March 4th, 2019, one of them did.

An F-18 weapons systems officer (WSO) seated behind the pilot used his iPhone to capture images of three different objects he encountered in the same airspace.

At 3:02 p.m. he photographed an odd shaped object. Another photo, taken close to the same time, was first posted to twitter on May 11, 2020, then again on social media 6 months later.

Other photos taken on the same day; March 4th, 2019 have never been made public until now. Mystery Wire has taken the step of watermarking these photographs in this article. We will, at a later date, release the photographs without watermarks.


On of these photos, the "Acorn" is discussed here...

USS Kidd (and other Ships) "Drones" Encounter, 2019

message-editor_1616535169939-image19.jpg

Article:
In July of 2019, a truly bizarre series of events unfolded around California's Channel Islands. Over a number of days, groups of unidentified aircraft, which the U.S. Navy simply refers to as 'drones' or 'UAVs,' pursued that service's vessels, prompting a high-level investigation.

During the evening encounters, as many as six aircraft were reported swarming around the ships at once. The drones were described as flying for prolonged periods in low-visibility conditions, and performing brazen maneuvers over the Navy warships near a sensitive military training range less than 100 miles off Los Angeles. The ensuing investigation included elements of the Navy, Coast Guard, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The incidents received major attention...

How Do You Stage UFO Photos and Videos? Let us Count the Ways.

2021-03-23_15-06-42.jpg


People keep sending me UFO videos, including old ones from years ago that were also figured out years ago. It struck me it might be useful to have a list of way in which UFO photos and videos can be staged without CGI.

A rough broad overview:
  • Tossed in the air - Something thrown, like a hubcap, and photos taken until you get a good one. Photos only.
  • Thing on a string - something suspended on string, like fishing line, that's too fine to see.
  • Thing on glass - similar, but an object on a sheet of glass or perspex (maybe even a fine mesh?) allowing more detailed photos or videos. Upswinging attic window
  • Reflections - Shot through glass, maybe close to the camera, maybe a window - showing a reflection of a light source.
  • Balloon - Anything lighter than air, maybe on a string.
  • Drone - can carry a light or an exterior shell that looks like anything - but 21st century only.
  • Projection - Laser or...

Hi,

My friend took this video March 14th ~7:20AM on top of Angels Landing in Utah.

I'm guessing it's just a plane/contrails reflecting off morning sun, but who knows!? Seems very similar to this post https://www.metabunk.org/threads/so...plane-near-zion-nation-park-united-541.11097/.

Anyway, video is attached. Not sure where to view flight history, but I'm sure you guys do. Have fun. Also, enjoy my friend's pure stoner confusion throughout the video.

Explained: UFO Filmed With Telescope [Loon Balloon]

"UFO filmed with telescope" sounds ideal, as most UFOs are TFAs - Too Far Away to get a clear look. Unfortunately this one was not much better - it was filmed with a telescope, but seemingly with a phone camera held up to the eyepiece. The UFO itself was many miles away.
At first I thought it was lense flare, as it changed shape in the video with the phone focussing. But it was also claimed to be something visible to the naked eye. It also seemed to have and "antenna" coming from the top.
2021-03-09_08-27-20.jpg

Then I remembered that many telescopes invert the image. So maybe was more like.

Now it looks like a ballon, and the obvious contender is a Loon Balloon, like.
