Art & UFOs

Hey guys! In this week's post, we will be talking about UFO signs in art. I was searching in the Web and found out that ancient art from different cultures has depictions or sculptures of UFOs and aliens on them. I will put some examples here for you to check them out. If you want to see more, I would recommend you to visit this LINK.

First, we have the Lolladoff plate discovered in Nepal in 7000 BC. It appears to show a hovering disk-shaped object in the center and a small being, resembling a gray alien, beside it. The circular pattern is reminescent of the spiraling movement of consciousness - Golden Ratio - Sacred Geometry of creation.

This cave painting dates from 10,000 BC and is from Val Camonica, Italy. It appears to depict two beings in protective suits holding strange implements. Surrounded by spece-suited beings.

This petroglyphs date back thousands of years ago and were made by ancient Indians in the American Southwest. According to Indian folklore, two objects collided high in the sky and one crash-landed in the region of Death Valley. Some men arrived (presumably in another ship) and spent some time repairing the damaged craft and were observed by the local Indians. The two images below may possibly depict the ship (top) used by the men who came to repair the damaged craft. In comparing the two images, the one on the right seems to depict structural damage around the edges and the bottom. Could it be the one that allegedly crashed? 


Well as you can see there are some things in ancient art that we are unable to explain. The questios is, are those things ancient peole represented in their art really UFOs or just something to decorate the painting? I leave it up to you guys ;) Well, that is all for this week's post, I hope you enjoy it and I'll be keeping in touch to see your comments.

UFO Facts

Hey guys!! I have been looking around in the web and found out some UFO facts that I consider are pretty interesting! Hope you find them interesting too! :)

• In most cases UFOs have been explained away to be meteors, clouds, sun dog, birds, military craft or weather balloons.
• The first widely reported UFO sighting in the United States came from pilot Kenneth Arnold in 1947, it was from his report that we get the term, ‘flying saucer’.
• In 1967, British authorities, including a bomb disposal unit investigated six “flying saucers” in a perfect line across southern England. However it was discovered to be a hoax perpetrated by engineering students.
• In 1999, a survey for the Daily Mail found that 49% of the UK population believes that life exists on other planets and 29% believe that aliens had already visited Earth in flying saucers.
• In the late 1930’s Orson Welles’ radio show The War of the Worlds was so realistic that hundreds of people thought America had really been invaded by aliens

Also, I was looking around for UFO information and saw a National Geographic UFO video about a V shaped UFO seen over Pheonix and the whole investigation they made about it. I'll leave a link over here just in case you want to see it. I beleive it lasts about 45 minutes but is quite interesting in order to know what scientists use to be sure about an object being an UFO.

UFOs at Missouri

Hey guys! 


I was searching in the Web to see what UFOs have been up to these days and I found out that there was a sighting in Saint Louis Missouri the 8th of October 2011 O: ! That was just last week! Witnesses say that out of no where, three bright lights appeared and that they formed lines and triangles as if they were interacting with each other.Here is a picture of the three objects: 

Looking a little bit more about it I found out that this is not the first recent sighting there has been at Missouri. There had been another similar sighting the 3rd of October in Kansas City at Missouri too. So, what do you think about this guys? If there have been several sightings in places that are close to each other, the most likely is that UFOs are looking for something there...what could it be? And also, there are pictures and videos about it so we can be a little bit more sure that this is real, but what if it isn't will there be a social impact in this? And what if it is? Does the USA's government should do something about it? Or can they do something about it? 

I hope you liked this week's post and feel free to post your comments and questions about it. Also, if you have any suggestions about topics you would like to see in this blog, you can comment about it. Thank you for reading this blog and talk to you in next week's post! :)

Abduction

Hello there!


Taking Anie's suggestion, what I'll  be talkng about in this post is abduction.
First of all, we must know the meaning of abduction in the UFO context. If you look in the dictionary for a meaning of abduction you'll probably find something like this : "to carry off or lead away a person illegaly and in secret or by force; kidnap" (Dictionay.reference.com). Thus, it could be said that when someone is abducted by an UFO he or she is kidnaped by aliens.
There are several stories of people being abducted by UFOs and they all have the same pattern of not being able to remember anything immediately after it as though they have not lived anything for the last couple of hours during which they were abducted. However, after being later on submitted to regressive hipnosis they can recall that aliens made them analysis in order to understand how our body works.
A case that I found very interesting is the Allagash Waterway abduction. Because the four men that were abducted were artists and therefore were able to make several drawings of how the UFO ship looked like etc. (Oddee.com)

Based on the stories about abduction, I would definitely not like to be abducted. Victims say that aliens have this power over them that calms them down and make them submissive so that there is no conflict during the examinations they perform. However, eventough you are in this trance and are almost like in a dream; I do not like the idea of not being able to decide and manage to get out or avoid the examinations.
Well, that's all for this week's post. I'll leave you a link here where you can read more about abduction cases: http://www.oddee.com/item_97917.aspx
This post remainded me the short film Pixar made about the wanna be abduction and aliens...now we k now why sometimes we wake up with headache. :P I'll leave you a link to the video here:

Aliens

Hey guys! Thanks for visiting this blog again! :) This week's topic will be aliens. 


Well, if we have the ideology that UFOs are real, we begin to wonder who are the ones that that travel in space and control them and the answer would be: aliens. Or at least that is how we call them. When we think about aliens the first thing to come to our minds is that they are beings from outer space, have big egg-shaped heads and will come to conquer our planet. :P However that is only how Hollywood has portrayed them in movies and TV shows. We should stop for a second and think, what if they look like that because they are using advanced space or Earth suits. For example, when austronauts travel to space, they do not use regular clothes but rather astronaut suits that have things they will need in outer space such as oxygen. The same thing could happen with aliens, maybe their appearance is not the same compared with what they look like in their planet. 


Also we should consider that maybe not all aliens are mean and want to conquer our world, there should be some that have curiosity to know how our world works and how humans are. Maybe aliens are just like humans, and there are some that are better people (aliens?) than others. It would be interesting in the future when we have more contact with them to make treaties and import goods that exist only in their world and make an exchange of information and technology. If this ever happens, probably it will be controlled strictly by the government and not everyone will have access to communicate with aliens at first. 


Feel free to leave your comments and opinions about this post, see you next week :)

False sightings

Hi everyone! I was looking for something to talk about on today’s post when I found a quite interesting article from the NASA about a supposedly UFO that was videotaped by the camera on the Apollo 16 which turns out it was not really one. When the Apollo 16 was returning from the moon on April 27, 1972; the astronauts John Young, Thomas Mattingly and Charles Duke captured about four seconds of video footage of an object that seemed to look like a spacecraft from another world (Nasa.gov).

Here is a picture of what the camera captured and was thought could be an UFO:

The object was described as <a saucer-shaped object with a dome on top>. The pictures were captured with a 16mm motion picture camera shooting 12 frames per second from a command/service module window. The object appears momentarily near the moon and as the camera pans, it moves out of the field of view before it reappears as the camera pans back. In total, it appeared in around 50 frames (Nasa.gov).

Some specialists recently studied the footage and they found out that the crew of the Apollo 16 never thought of having seen anything special in the film at the moment when it was recorded and besides this, scientists analyzed a high quality format of the footage and arranged the frames where this object appeared in chronological order for them to make the investigation as accurate as possible (UFOEvidence.org). The combinations they made with the footage showed them more clearly a "linear feature" attached to one side of the object. They also looked at archived images from other Apollo missions and they found out that in the end, there was strong evidence that suggested that the pictures taken by the Apollo 16 were not true since the spacecraft had a structure called EVA a spacewalk floodlight/boom which had a similar structure to the one of the object that appears in the pictures (Nasa.gov).

I think this discovery is quite interesting because, thanks to those studies made to the footage on Apollo 16, it was determined that the supposedly UFO was not a real one besides it is good for us to break with the habit of believing at first sight everything we see and/or everything people tell us. There have been more false sightings of UFOs around the world and most of those false sightings have been identified and removed from the media. However, can we be sure that the sightings we believe are true are for sure real?Or for example, that our own believes on UFOs are real? How can we be sure that what we identify as an UFO is really one and not a sight mistake? I hope you liked the post and feel free to comment on the section below. See you next week.

Zone 51

Hello guys! Sorry for not having posted anything last week but I did not have time to do so. However, I'm back this week and our topic is Zone 51.

Well, Zone 51 is the top-secret military base also known as <Groom Lake Base> located about 90 miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada. The United States Air Force Flight Test Center controls the base. It is said that this base was used in order to test exotic aircrafts and weapons and this base was established in 1954 and the secret U-2 spy plane was tested in order to be used to fly over the USSR. Then, in the 1980s the base increased in size, along with the runway and it was at this time that mysterious lights began to appear and armed guards began patrolling the boarders of the base. In 1989, a "physicist" named Bob Lazar claimed that he worked at a base south of Area 51 and also claimed that Area 51 was testing extremely advanced aircraft and UFO's they got by trading with the aliens. Since then, Area 51 has been thought to be the test center of captured UFOs because of the lights in the night sky (Area51zone.com).

Keeping a secret what goes on in Zone 51 has caused different hypotheses about conspiracy UFO theories arise such as

• The storage, examination, and reverse engineering of crashed alien spacecraft (including material supposedly recovered at Roswell), the study of their occupants (living and dead), and the manufacture of aircraft based on alien technology.
  
• Meetings or joint undertakings with extraterrestrials.
  
• The development of exotic energy weapons for the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) or other weapons programs.
  
• The development of means of weather control.
  
• The development of time travel and teleportation technology.
  
• The development of unusual and exotic propulsion systems related to the Aurora Program.
  
• Activities related to a supposed shadowy one world government or the Majestic 12 organization.
  

(Ufocasebook.com)


But, do you think this may be true? Two weeks ago we talked about censorship, what if the government IS testing UFO material or has found it in or near Area 51? What if they already have contact with UFOs? Do you think the government may give total access to this information sometime if it exists? See you next week! :D



I found this web page that has some videos of different UFOs seen in Area 51. Hope you find them interesting!
