NASA Astronauts saw UFOs
This week's files cover: Mars has methane that may be biogenic, Earth
passes through space debris, NASA Astronauts saw UFOs.
In addition, witnesses saw UFOs over Arizona, California, Colorado,
Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and
Virginia. Many witnesses saw UFOs in Argentina, Australia, Canada, the
Caribbean Sea, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.
The purpose of these files is to report weekly the UFO eyewitness and
photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world. These
Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my
hypothesis is that of the over one hundred UFOs reported each week, many
represent alien craft. The United States Air Force Project conducted a
worldwide investigation of UFOs from 1947 until December 1969, when it
disbanded its investigative team. We are continuing the investigation.
Mars Methane May Be Biogenic Life
This Hubble image is the sharpest view of Mars ever taken from Earth - the
Martian north pole is at the top, near the centre of the bright polar cap
(Image: JPL)
New observations of the Martian atmosphere show no trace of sulphurous
fumes and rules out active volcanoes as the source of the Red Planet's
mysterious methane, but fails to resolve the question of where the methane
comes from. Methane breaks down when exposed to sunlight, so its discovery
in the Martian atmosphere two years ago meant that something on the planet
was continually producing more of the gas. Most astronomers suspected its
presence was the result of a geological process, while a few suggested the
methane was the signature of past or present life. To try to narrow the
range of possibilities, Vladimir Krasnopolsky, who studies planetary
atmospheres at the Catholic University of America in Washington, turned a
powerful infrared spectrometer towards Mars. He targeted sulphur dioxide -
the volcanic gas that should be easiest to spot.
Earth's volcanoes release methane, but they generate thousands of times
more sulphur dioxide, which has an even shorter atmospheric lifetime than
methane - just two years. So finding sulphur dioxide would mean volcanic
vents on Mars were actively releasing the gas, and presumably methane as
well. However, high-resolution measurements revealed no trace of Martian
sulphur dioxide.
From that, Krasnopolsky calculated that Mars' atmosphere could contain no
more than one part per billion of the gas. This in turn means that Martian
volcanoes can be releasing no more than one seven-hundredth as much sulphur
dioxide as terrestrial volcanoes - and far too little methane to sustain
the levels recorded in the Martian atmosphere.
I can't rule out a geological source of methane "because there are many
conceivable mechanisms, Krasnopolsky told New Scientist, but 'this makes
biological methane more plausible". "You want to resort to biogenic sources
as the last possible alternative," Lyons told New Scientist, noting that
methane fluxes on Mars are six to seven orders of magnitude smaller than on
the Earth, which possesses an abundance of organic-origin methane. Thanks

Earth passes through space debris
The bright light behind the clouds is a fireball photographed Nov. 2, 2005,
by Mark Vorhusen of Germany. Thanks to NASA.
The Earth is passing through the space debris known as the Taurids meteor
shower.
On November 2nd in the Netherlands, "The sky lit up very bright," reports
Koen Miskotte. "In the corner of my eye I saw a fireball about as bright as
a crescent moon." "People are probably seeing the Taurid meteor shower,"
says meteor expert David Asher of the Armagh Observatory in Northern
Ireland. Every year in late October and early November, he explains, Earth
passes through a river of space dust associated with Comet Encke. Tiny
grains hit our atmosphere at 65,000 mph. At that speed, even a tiny smidgen
of dust makes a vivid streak of light--a meteor--when it disintegrates.
Because these meteors shoot out of the constellation Taurus, they're called
Taurids. Hidden within the dust meteors could be larger ones that cause
damage to Earth and could be mistaken for UFOs.
NASA Astronauts Saw UFOs In 1962
NASA was formed in 1958 and from the start a number of its astronauts and
test pilots testified to sighting UFOs or craft of undetermined origin.
Initially, Joseph Walker was the first to announce a sighting - he told the
National Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Space Research in 1962 that he
had an aerial encounter with two disc-shaped objects the previous month. He
had actually filmed the encounter.
In April 1962, NASA pilot, Joseph Walker, filmed five cylindrical and
disc-shaped objects from his X-15 aircraft. Another test pilot, reported an
incident involving a formation of UFOs while flying at 314,000 feet. NASA
refused to reveal any evidence that might substantiate the pilots' claims -
photographs or films were never released. Many anomalous objects captured
are caught on video during Shuttle Missions: See:

Arizona Sighting of an Unknown
YUMA -- Saturday night October 29, 2005, around 10:45 PM, we were driving
north on Highway 95 headed to Fortuna Road which is 14 miles from Yuma
Proving Grounds. My husband and I saw some lights over the field near the
road. There were four lights on one side, then a gap with four lights on
the other that were connected to a wood post carrying electrical wires. As
we got closer we could see it was just hovering there. Two more lights came
on in the middle of it. Then it rolled off to the right and was flying very
low. It was twenty feet off the ground. Then it rocked from side to side.
Right wing down and then left wing down.
I asked my husband, a USMC aircraft maintenance officer with a Bronze Star
from Afghanistan, 18 years on the job and two conflicts deep, if I should
call the police. He slowed down to 35 mph, it went up and turned around and
shined the two middle lights brightly on us and the other car on the road
which had a flat front tire and would not stop. He was probably also
scared. It flew next to us at 35 mph, and my husband sped off at up to 85
mph and it was still next to us.
The car with the flat started flashing high and low beam lights as if they
did not want us to leave them behind. It followed us to our turn and then
the craft turned around again and went back. My husband has worked on
pretty much all the aircraft in the Corps. We heard no engine noise and it
was not until I realized that planes do not fly next to you at 35 miles per
hour that I got scared. YPG is a hot spot for sightings My husband
enlightened me that there were no flashing lights like a plane or chopper.
I went back the next day and there were two huge military trucks parked on
the other side of the road that drove off as I was coming up. Thanks to

California - A Huge Sphere of Light
ORANGE COUNTY -- Ed Brooks writes, "I have had numerous sightings in the
last four months on a weekly and sometimes daily basis.' I took this photo
in California not Las Vegas as reported last week. For accuracy I believe
this is important. I was awakened again last night, November 3, 2005, at
about 11:40 pm, to a loud explosion and ran out back and sure enough there
was the orange orb.
I have trouble sleeping and about 3:15 AM, on October 29, 2005 I had gotten
out of bed and happened to see a huge glowing orange ball 750 feet high in
my backyard. With my arm extended the object was the size of a tennis ball.
It was extremely bright and staying solid and flying slowly east. I ran
inside and awakened my friend Candice and when she saw it she could not
even speak. It was still moving very slowly at about ten mph. I took about
four pictures with different patterns from one picture to the next. I also
took a close up per your suggestion. When I took the last picture something
ejected from the object and two seconds later a bright flash lit up the sky
followed by an explosion right after. It must have been pretty low because
you could see smoke from the explosion. The explosion awakened my 11 year
old son and he came outside to see. It began to fade out then back in
again. It lasted for about 25 minutes. The flash and explosions are kind of
scary. This time the sky was covered with low clouds and the orange orb
rose upward this time to be engulfed by these clouds. There is no other
sound but this time the neighbor's dogs were whining and scratching at
their owner's door. Thanks to Ed Brooks
OAKLAND -- I had gone over to a friend's house for a light party with
videos on October 29, 2005. The movie just started and I glanced out the
window for a moment at 8 PM, just in time to see a ball of white light, too
large to be a comet, go down in a falling pattern. It seemed fairly
far-off, and I know I wasn't imagining it because I could see that when it
went behind trees and buildings, it wasn't visible. Nobody else saw it, but
when I mentioned that I saw something like a massive comet falling, a few
people brought up a series of light sightings from just days before.
I wonder if they have a connection. Has anyone else noticed, out of mere
curiosity, that radio stations and speakers lately have been getting weird
beeping noises? Not high pitched or low down, but an alto-tone? Almost like
a Morse code. I'm not the only one who's heard it; whenever I'm in a car or
listening to a music program and it comes on, I wait until someone else
brings it up to see if I'm the only one hearing it, and I'm not. Probably
no correlation, but I still would like to know what it is. Thanks to Brian

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE -- The Air Force's second Bell-Boeing CV-22 Osprey,
arrived at Edwards on October 27, 2005, two months earlier than the
contract's due date. The first Air Force Osprey was delivered for
electromagnetic testing to NAS Patuxent River, Md. on September 16, 2005.
The third CV-22 is due in 2006, and the Air Force Operational Test and
Evaluation Center will use these first three aircraft to conduct an
Operational Utility Evaluation next summer.
The CV-22 is the Special Operations Forces (SOF) variant of the tilt-rotor
aircraft that has vertical take-off and landing ability like a helicopter,
and provides operational flexibility from small landing zones then flies at
high-speed (230 knots). The Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command
plan to procure 50 CV-22s to conduct day or night long-range infiltration,
exfiltration and re-supply of special operations forces. Thanks to Air
Force Office of Public Affairs Release #011105
Editor's Note: the ability of the Osprey to hover may confuse people with
UFOs.
Colorado metallic oval or cylinder
STRASBURG - On a clear day two witnesses noticed an object shining in
daylight sky at 6:20 PM, on October 2, 2005. The sun was about 40 degrees
from the object and through binoculars the object was clearly reflecting
the sun and was visible for 15 minutes. It then split into three objects,
or two smaller sections left main object for a short distance, then, all
three appeared to move directly away and disappear in three seconds. The
other witness to this is an engineer at Rocky Mountain Arsenal and a total
skeptic. After seeing this object he is not so sure! Thanks to Peter
Davenport Director www.ufocenter.com
Florida - Slow Flying Black Triangle
GAINESVILLE -- I was getting in my car and movement overhead caught my eye
on October 20, 2005, at 6:14 PM. I spotted a very slow moving and very low
overhead craft that was absolutely enormous. At first when I recognized the
dark triangular shape, I thought perhaps it was a stealth bomber, but
realized it wasn't possible as it was so low, moving so slowly, and did not
make a sound.
It was silent on a perfectly clear night with the stars shining. It was an
hour after sunset and the moon was rising. The object was barely visible
but had very dim lights around its edges- roughly as bright as the dimmest
stars, that distorted the background sky to conceal itself. It flew due
east and I watched as it passed over the roof of the adjacent building. I
followed the best I could but I had no luck and nearly got in an accident.
Incidentally, I have a BS in psychology. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director

Kentucky Bell-Shaped Object
HILLSBORO - The witness reports seeing a bell-shaped object at 7:30 PM, on
October 29, 2005, while typing on the computer. During previous sightings
the light has appeared to change shape and pulse in response to a large
flashlight blinking white or red. It was higher in the sky and a little
farther west than in previous sightings. A similar light was observed on
the evening of October 18, and 26.
This evening the light did not respond to the flashing lights and remained
stationary for about 45 minutes. I thought it might be Mars, but it began
to descend (two 2 thumb widths from the horizon) and "float" westward. It
took about ten minutes for it to move west too far to be seen. The sky was
clear and the temperature was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Thanks to Brian
Vike www.hbccufo.com
Editor's Note: All planets and stars appear to move 15 degrees per hour as
the Earth spins.
Michigan - Intersecting Lights and Oval
WESTLAND -- I saw three lines of lights in a intersecting formation slowly
flying over my house at about the same level as a helicopter would fly on
October 16, 2005, at 9:20 PM, but it wasn't a helicopter. I would know
because I've lived next to Detroit metro for three years and I've seen many
planes and helicopters but nothing like this! It was the size of a football
field but there was nobody I could see, just lights. Also there was no
sound. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.ufocenter.com
WIXOM - The witness spotted an oval-shaped object that was floating above
several farm buildings on October 17, 2005, at 10 PM. It hovered slowly
along the roof line of each shed, and was almost silent, except for a muted
staccato noise, that sounded like clucking? Thanks to Peter Davenport
Director www.ufocenter.com
Missouri -- Strange Orange Light
BRUMLEY - The witness reports, `My son 32 and I (56) both saw a strange
light that would move near us, then move back out on October 27, 2005, at 3
AM. This went on for about six minutes. It was flying at mid sky to the
west. We live in Miller County Missouri, far back in the woods. We have
seen many things up here over the past few years, but this is the first I
have reported to anyone. There was no sound, but it was not an aircraft or
helicopter. Thanks to Brian Vike www.hbccufo.com
