“This is the most compelling documentary I have ever seen on the subject of UFOs. It has a laser beam focus and presents an undeniable body of evidence which will turn the biggest skeptics into believers. James Fox has provided us with a unique public service by busting through the veils of secrecy and giving us the startling facts!” — FIFE SYMINGTON, FORMER ARIZONA GOVERNOR
“As someone with almost 30 years experience in the entertainment industry, I have to say that I KNOW WHAT I SAW is truly one of the most credible films on UFOs I've ever seen. The juxtaposition of all the new first-hand evidence, alongside the filmmaker's personal journey to uncover the truth, is totally compelling. James Fox's tenacity and unshakeable faith really comes through loud and clear.”
— LARRY LANDSMAN, NETWORK PRODUCTION EXECUTIVE, "The Roswell Crash: Startling New Evidence"
“The most compelling film on the subject to date.” — EDGAR MITCHELL, APOLLO 14 ASTRONAUT

An incredible document was released by the Mexican television where they announced the discovery of an alien baby in May 2007 on a farm.It was found in a trap for animals alive. Fue encontrado en una trampa para animales con vida.
El sitio spanish.peopledaily.com.cn hace referencia a este descubrimiento hecho hace 2 años atrás y que recientemente la televisión mexicana ha sacado a la luz en donde se pueden ver imagenes del bebé alienígena aún con vida. The site spanish.peopledaily.com.cn refers to this discovery made 2 years ago and recently the Mexican television has brought to light where you can see pictures of the alien baby alive.
Según dice la fuente, los granjeros al encontrar al bebé extraterrestre, se asustaron e intentaron matarlo inmediatamente ahogándolo en agua. Says the source, farmers to find the baby alien, panicked and tried to kill him by drowning him in water immediately.
La críatura hizo forcejeos, moviendo su cuerpo y gritando en pedido de auxilio. The creature was struggling, moving his body and screaming cry for help.Los campecinos hicieron3 intentos más hasta que acabaron con la vida del bebé alienígena luego de varias horas de que este permaneciera sumergido bajo el agua. The more attempts to campecinos hicieron3 that ended the life of the alien baby after several hours that remained submerged under water.
Recien a fines del año pasado el granjero que lo encontró, envió el cuerpo del bebé alienígena a una univeridad para que se le realice una investigación cientifica al cuerpe del bebé extraterrestre ya sin vida. Latest late last year, the farmer who found it, sent the body of a baby alien is Univeridad to conduct a scientific investigation alien baby's body lifeless.
Como resultado de dichos estudios se pudo saber que: As a result of these studies was informed that:
El espécimen del extraterreste no es artificial The specimen is not artificial extraterrestrial
La estructura de su cuerpo es muy similar a los de los lagartos. The body structure is very similar to those of lizards.

Mexican TV announced in 2007 that an alien baby was found alive by a farmer in Mexico. Now, it has been two years since it was found, and scientists finally announced the results of their tests on the alien baby: the creature indeed resembles nothing like humans.
According to the scientists' report, the alien baby can stay underwater for a long time, has the skeleton of a lizard, and has rootless teeth which are totally unlike humans' teeth. However, it does have some similar joints to human. The brain of the alien baby is huge, particularly the rear section, which makes the scientists believe that the creature had very high intelligence.
Mexican UFO expert Jaime Maussan (56) was the first to break the story. He claimed it was not a hoax. Farmers also told him that there was a second creature but it ran away when they approached.
Mexican farmer Marao Lopez first spotted the sinister-looking carcass two years ago, and he said that it took him three attemps to drown the creature before ditching it out of fear. Adding to the suspense, Lopez has mysteriously died upon the discovery.
According to American UFO expert Joshua P. Warren (32), the farmer burned to death in a parked car at the side of a road. The flames apparently had a far higher temperature than in a normal fire! Now there are rumours that the parents of the creature Lopez drowned were the ones who in turn killed him out of revenge.
Greetings UFO enthusiasts, This video clip was taken from the inside of an aircraft which has become more common lately. As sightings increase so does the attentive awareness of UFO enthusiasts and seekers who aim to capture these events on camera. We carry our camera with us everywhere we go and do capture wild phenomena ourselves. Not all of what we catch on camera or video is post worthy but never the less we find strange objects in our images often.
Check out this very cool video.
Send your images and encounters to the Sacramento UFO Examiner and share them with the world.
Until next time, Thanks for viewing. The Sacramento UFO Examiner brewerg27@hotmail.com
This beautiful formation has appeared at Wayland Smithy on this day August 12th, The number 12 is significant within this design.
The revelation came when we counted the outer sections of the pattern, and realised the full significance. There is a clear and concise message here, as I’m sure it was no coincidence to turn up on the 12th August. This important formation with regard to its numerology, not only signified that this date was part of the message, but also of the overall design. On closer inspection of the design, there is a remarkable resemblance to Gothic Architecture, especially Rose Windows, seen in many cathedrals from the 13th Century throughout many parts of Europe.
Rose windows utilise geometry on three levels: manifest, hidden, and symbolic. The 12 divisions throughout this Crop Circle design that are also typically found on Rose Windows all point to the finite and infinite, Earth and Heaven, or matter and spirit, and of course the 12 Disciples.
Numbers had a metaphysical significance in the 13th Century, which is why they incorporated them into the Architecture at the time. The same can also be said for the Crop Circle phenomenon today as this latest Wayland Smithy design demonstrates.
Are we just like the Pilgrims from centuries ago, gazing in wonder and raising subconsciously our awareness of the Divine?

New Crop Circle discovery exemplifies the number 12
On August 12, 2009, a new crop circle discovery at Wayland Smithy displays multiple meanings of the number 12. Fascination mounts as the newest crop circle appearance date and message corresponds to the number 12. In 13th century European cathedrals, the Gothic architecture of rose windows remarkably mirrors the pattern of this crop circle. The reverence of numbers and sacred geometry during this century are representative of the designs found in rose windows. Studies of these geometrical designs reveal three types of meanings: clear or the obvious, unknown or concealed and symbolic or representational.
Throughout history, the number 12 holds significance in many realms. In the Bible, there were 12 Tribes of Israel, 12 Apostles, 12 Pearly Gates, 12 Angels, 12 crops of fruit along the River of Life and 12 Precious Stones in the Foundations of the Holy City, Jerusalem. 12 is the product of 3 representing The Divinity and of 4 representing The Earth Elements of Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Seasons of Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. Our calendar contains 12 months relating to the 12 signs of the Zodiac.
Buddhists acknowledge the 4 truths; the fourth truth is also known as the 8-fold path. Within the heart chakra, 12 deep red lotus petals surround the 6-pointed star. Greek mythology contains 12 principal divinities. The Chinese associate 12 animals with a primary energy that rule a 12-year cycle, one at a time.
As you can see, the list of relations to the number 12 is endless. Since 12 is considered the number of wholeness, perfection and government, one might wonder if the message relates to mankind’s search for meaning in this aspect.

Campaigners are to hold a protest outside the US Embassy in London against the extradition of computer hacker Gary McKinnon to America.
His supporters argue that when a crime occurs in the UK a British court should be able to refuse extradition.
The US wants to try Mr McKinnon, 43, for what it calls the biggest military computer hack ever in 2001/02. He maintains he was seeking UFO evidence.
The Asperger's Syndrome sufferer lost a court bid to avoid extradition.
Liberty say that British courts should be allowed to veto extradition "if it's in the interests of justice to do so".
The group added: "Liberty also holds that the requesting country should have to make out the case for extradition in a British court before the request is granted."
Glasgow-born Mr McKinnon admits hacking by accessing 97 government computers belonging to organisations such as the US Navy and Nasa, but denies it was malicious.
He also denies the allegation he caused damage costing $800,000 (£487,000).
He has always insisted he was looking for classified documents on UFOs, which he believed the US authorities had suppressed.
At about 10 pm on the evening of August 23, a UFO appeared in the sky above Beibei Binjiang Road in Chongqing. The UFO was “V” shaped and its color changed in the order of red, blue, green, yellow and white at short intervals. Hundreds of people watched but no one heard any sound produced by engines or propulsion equipment.
During the half hour that the UFO appeared, a civil airplane passed by. Witnesses compared the civil airplane to the UFO and discovered that the UFO was obviously flying at a higher attitude.
After hovering for about half an hour, the periphery of the UFO began to twinkle and then it disappeared in the night sky.

Several witnesses in Lake Havasu, Arizona, watched a disc-shaped object hovering and slowly moving in the sky, according to witness testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
They first noticed a "tiny black dot" in the sky, but using binoculars, realized it was disc-shaped.
The sighting was captured on video.
The following is the unedited witness testimony from the MUFON database. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Arizona MUFON State Director George C. Parks investigates and reports back on this case, I will update this page.
AZ, July 3, 2009 - It was hovering over lake havasu. MUFON Case # 18830.
At the time I was looking out my back window when i noticed that there was this tiny black dot in the sky. So i went and got my binochlears and i swear it was a flying saucer!
At first i just couldnt believe it.
It just hovered and kept on slowly moving. I felt like the cartoon where its eyes pop out of the other end of the binochlears. It was amazing.
Eventually it was so far away I couldn't see the black dot anymore so i went inside. it was pretty cool i got it on film.
Six Kansas witnesses near a neighborhood pond first joked about lights in the sky circling around them, but were shocked by the craft's second appearance at close range as they made out "the distinct outline of a very thin triangular shaped black object," according to witness testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
One of the friends called out to the others to point out a lit object in the distant darkness. They joked about it being a UFO, one snapped a cell phone image of it, and when it disappeared from view they wrote it off as a blimp.
But the object came back about two minutes later - this time brighter and at close range.
The object was hanging just above the tree line behind them and was described as "the size of a small house." The object hovered, they said, and slowly moved directly overhead.
"At this point we could see the distinct outline of a very thin triangular shaped black object. Numerous lights lit up the underneath and a slight hum could be heard, but nothing like an airplane or a jet engine. My friends and I just watched it pass and as we were all in shock, nobody could get out their phone for a closer picture."
After slowly passing overhead, the object increased speed and moved away - disappearing in "the blink of an eye."

If Kansas MUFON investigates and reports back on any of these cases, I will update this page. KS, August 21, 2009 - Triangular shaped thin black object (about the size of a small house) with numerous lights underneath passed directly over my friends and I just above treetop height. MUFON Case # 18813.
My friends and I (6 of us total) were visiting the neighborhood pond when one of us called out to point out a lighted object far off in the dark sky.
We watched the object circle around and one of my friends and i had jokingly called out, "Haha look it's a UFO!" Two of the guys with us decided it looked like a blimp judging on the lights positioning.
I snapped a pic of the aircraft on my cell phone while it was still visable.
The object had flown just out of sight behind some trees. We all were stunned at the thought of what that could have been. Finally everyone agreed that it had to have been a blimp.
Approx. 2 min later the lights from before were much brighter now and behind us. We all turned around to see the object from before up close and right in front of us but just above the tree line. The aircraft, about the size of a small house, hovered while continuing to move right above our heads.
At this point we could see the distinct outline of a very thin triangular shaped black object. Numerous lights lit up the underneath and a slight hum could be heard, but nothing like an airplane or a jet engine. My friends and I just watched it pass and as we were all in shock, nobody could get out their phone for a closer picture.
Just after passing us and the small pond, the triangular aircraft increased speed and took off. The object disappeared within the blink of an eye. I was in complete shock as I had never seen anything like this before in my life.
Anthony Woods would like it to be known that regrettably he has decided to distance himself and his family from the UFO subject... http://www.rense.com/genera...
After writing article after article, day after day, night and night, week after week, something comes along that is fun and exciting! Here is that something! Maybe you can be part of history and have fun at the same time!. Three organizations, Australia's Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, the CSIRO and NASA, have combined efforts to collect and send text messages from the "Hello from Earth" website to transmit to the closest Earth-like planet , that may well contain life, outside of our solar system,
The planet: : Gliese 581d.
Now honestly, how many of you have heard of Gliese 581d? Here are some interesting facts about Gliese 581d and why it is the "chosen" planet!
1. It is a super-Earth - about eight times heavier than Earth. 2. It has three known sister planets which orbit the low-mass red dwarf star Gliese 581 (no "d" here). 3. It is about 20.3 light-years (194 trillion km) away from us, in the constellation Libra.
The habitable zone is indicated as the blue area, showing that Gliese 581d is located inside the habitable zone around its low-mass red dwarf star. ESO/Franck Selsis , University of Bordeaux Courtesy of Hello from Earth
4. It was discovered by Stephane Udry and his team in April 2007 in Switzerland and is considered the "first serious waterworld candidate", 5. According to the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal, in April 2009, Gliese 581d orbits its sun every 66.8 days . This is about one fifth of the distance from the Earth to the Sun which is within the star's habitable zone. (see photo to right) 6. Gliese 581d obits its sun which is one third the size of our Sun and 50 times fainter. It is suggested that from the surface of the planet, its sun would be a dull, red glow in the sky.
Now you have to think to yourself : "Self, how would anything so far away be discovered?" The answer: using something called, High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) spectrograph, (try saying that three times rapidly) which is part of the European Southern Observatory's 3.6-metre telescope at La Silla, Chile. This instrument is so sensitive it picks up minuscule wobbles of starlight caused by the gravitational pull of planets.
So now we know there may be some kind of life out there. What kind of message can you send? Post your message to the "Hello from Earth" website, but remember all comments are moderated, i.e., screened. Any inappropriate messages will de rejected. For proper evaluation, messages must be in English.
CALGARY - From fireballs to flying saucers, Alberta is a hot spot for extraterrestrial tourists.
A study of Canadian UFO sightings suggests a record number of people in the province spotted mysterious objects zooming through the sky last year.
From unusual lights to unexplained aircraft manoeuvring in mid-air, "Albertans are definitely seeing some unusual things," said Chris Rutkowski, a Winnipeg-based "ufologist" who has spent the past two decades studying reports filed by more than 15,000 witnesses coast to coast.
The number of UFO sightings in Alberta last year was the highest ever, with 157 residents spotting unusual celestial activities.
That doesn't surprise Rutkowski, who believes a combination of factors, including the ease with which people can report their observations to UFO-themed websites, has contributed to the uptick.
Flying saucers -- once the standard mode of transport for alien life forms--have apparently fallen out of vogue, with more people characterizing their observations as a fireball or mysterious blob.
"It's not egg-shaped, spherical or triangular in shape, but something with protrusions and the lights seem to change shape as you're watching," said Rutkowski. "The Hollywoodstyle flying saucer is really passe, in some ways."
Numerous sightings occurred in Calgary, including one in December, in which two people reportedly saw a yellow object moving over the city at 11 a. m. It was small and witnesses said it didn't behave like an aircraft.
A week earlier, another person allegedly saw a UFO-like object following a helicopter at 8:12 p. m.
Calgarian Jim Moroney spends much of his spare time meticulously logging these sorts of extraterrestrial encounters for his Alberta UFO Study Group, an organization that keeps track of sightings it deems credible.
People were once shy to come forward for fear of being ridiculed but they're increasingly comfortable sharing their stories, said Moroney.
That could explain the recent spike in the number of reported sightings --not just in Alberta, but across the country, he noted.
There were 1,004 UFOs recorded in Canada last year, compared with 141 in 1989.
"The public is demanding more open discussion and debate around the issue," said Moroney.
"It's one of the reasons why I maintain a website to allow for a venue for people to report sightings."
Of the 8,600 unusual observations logged in Canada during the past two decades, about 14 per cent were deemed "unexplained," meaning they don't seem to be aircraft or fireballs.
Skeptics say weather is often a factor in many mysterious sightings -- and lenticular clouds are a frequent culprit in Alberta.
"They are saucer-shaped and usually occur along the foothills," said Global TV weather expert Paul Dunphy.
"People that really want to believe in UFOs have in the past reported seeing a bunch of them hovering near the horizon for hours."
But if more people are catching a glimpse of visiting aliens, they aren't reporting it to the UFO Sightings Hotline in St. Paul.
The northern Alberta town--famous for its 12-metre-high landing pad for flying saucers -- has recorded a steady drop in calls over the years.
"This area used to be quite active. Maybe it's getting old," said tourist information officer Duane Zaraska.
The majority of UFO sightings are actually stars and planets, admits Rutkowski -- but some are less clear.
"There are always a residual number each year that we simply can't explain," he said.
He estimates that one in 10 Canadians have spotted a UFO-like object in their lifetime and many cases go unreported.
One of the most fantastic crop formations that has ever appeared was immediately destroyed by an outraged farmer even after he was paid to allow time for scientific research. He accepted the payment, then, moments later, wrecked the formation with his tractor.
Fortunately, famed Mexican UFO researcher Jaime Maussan was in the formation and managed to take the fine close-up photos reproduced here of the delicate, three-dimensional swirls that had appeared, two of which appear in this story.
Crop circle researchers were surprised to find the formation, which was not in the field the night before.
The anger of the farmer illustrates a situation that is building in England's fields. The National Farmer's Union takes the position that all of the formations are created by vandals. They represent a costly problem for farmers, especially as they are getting larger and larger and appearing in more fields every year. While the financial loss involved for the economy is negligible, for a farmer who has one or two large formations in his crop, they can be significant.
Because the British government, and therefore the Farmer's Union and the media continue to claim that the formations are man-made, the farmers are left with the false impression that this could be controlled if only the vandals could be found.
Unfortunately for them, until there is official recognition of the reality of the mystery, the formations are likely continue to increase every year in number and complexity.
On Wednesday, July 14 a guest on William Henry's Revelations offered the opinion that most of the crop formations of the astonishing 2009 season were probably manmade. After the program, Whitley Strieber commented privately that what was needed was a formation so extraordinary that it ended the debate, and enabled us all to begin to address the much larger question of what they REALLY are. Between 4:00AM and 5:18AM English Summer Time on the 14th, in the famous east field near Alton Barnes, just such a formation had appeared.
At about the time that Revelations was being recorded, the formation was being photographed by Lucy Pringle. This formation is a 170 foot diameter woven structure in wheat, with bundles of wheat gently laid aside and woven under other bundles, so that the effect is that of a woven rug or piece of cloth.
It would not be possible to do this over hours or even days, and there is doubt among researchers that it could be done at all. Compared to the inept hoax circle commissioned by the National Geographic channel for an upcoming crop circle documentary, it is a true work of art.
This week, Revelations, Dreamland and this website are devoted to the crop formation phenomenon. Be sure to listen to Dreamland and Revelations and, for Unknowncountry.com subscribers, to the amazing talk given by Whitley Strieber on the inner meaning of the phenomenon.
Why are we still in denial and, for the most part, unable to face the strangeness of this reality? Read Whitley's latest Journal, In the Clutches of the Fallen.
A mysterious object was sighted and taken with a camera on the south-east crater of the volcano Etna. In this period of intense UFO activity, there are testimonies about sightings of OVNI on Vesuvius, which raises the hypothesis of a link between UFOs and volcanic eruptions as happened in Mexico. Annalisa Director Web Magazine "Noiegliextraterrestri" has published a report of UFO sightings on Etna:"I get the alert of a reader" Noiegliextraterrestri "which has been achieved an impressive sighting, with Video cameras, a non-terrestrial flying object fly over the southeast crater of Etna.
This has been an active celestial 60 days! We had the Summer Solstice on June 21st, a Lunar Eclipse on July 7th, a total Eclipse of the Sun on July 22nd and, in a few days, another Penumbra Lunar Eclipse on August 6th. This will be visible here in the United States, but it will difficult to see. The Full Moon will dim only slightly, as the Eclipse peaks at 8:40PM EDT. The Earth will only block out a very small portion of the sunlight that illuminates the Full Moon.
Why am I talking about this stuff in a Metaphysical column? Well, because according to many "in the know", each one of those specific celestial events was a downloading of some sort of energy into the Earth grid. It is all part of the raising of the vibration of the planet we talked about as we move towards 2012. Can I prove any of this scientifically to you? No. All I can do is pass along the information. So, the next logical question is: What does the Eclipse this week mean?
To answer that, here's a quick excerpt from Ron Baker's website:
"As you enter the final month of this stage, you will bring COMMITMENT TO FORM.
How you have used your choices and inner process to develop a commitment will determine what you will manifest at this time. How able to move with the flow are you at this point? How able are you to deal with things that are unexpected coming into your life as clues?
It is all there to serve you. However, it all depends on the use of your will and your ability to respond.
Remember that all individuals and groups represent aspects of the divine. So practice moving beyond right and wrong...and move into valuing instead. Transcend your age old fighting against someone else in the name of God...which is one of your biggest myths that keep you in fear and separation and duality and un-fulfillment.
So use this time to become wiser and more informed about who you are, what is important to you, as well as what power you hold in looking to the new and responding with clear choices. "
NORTH PORT -- It's Mutual UFO Network's case No. 17015.
North Porter Michael Rowley's bizarre story is fit for a lost episode of television's "X-Files."
After several alien sightings, Rowley has had his claims investigated by MUFON of Florida.
MUFON is composed of people "seriously interested in studying and researching the phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects," according to the MUFON Web site. Information collected is used to "educate the public" about UFO sightings and "plausible contact with intelligent life outside" of the Earthly atmosphere.
A resident since April, Rowley, 58, and his 15-year-old son, Shane, say they have encountered two, 9-foot-tall, pale aliens in their yard on at least three occasions.
The first time Michael saw the creature, he was outside at night fixing a water pump.
As he approached the water pump, Michael claims he heard a "swoosh" sound and saw branches being pushed into the woods near his home on the eastern end of town.
"What the heck was that?" Michael said he asked Shane. "There was something tall and thin that rushed out of the woods. But there where no breaking sounds (of branches being walked on). It was like the thing didn't even step on the ground. Then it disappeared."
However, Shane says he already knew what it was because he witnessed the alien a day earlier.
Shane said on April 10, he was at home in bed. The room didn't have curtains.
Shane said he looked out the window and saw a figure outside.
"It was pale, gray and very tall, in the 9-foot range," he said. "The face was larger than average, round and hairless. The eyes were large and more oval-shaped, and dark to the point where you could not see the pupils."
He said he could not see the alleged creature's hands as if they "nearly touched the ground."
Shane was shocked to see another one behind the first one in a tree.
"It was crouching sideways and was halfway up a palm tree," he said. "It was a medium-sized creature, green in coloration (and) textured skin, much like sandpaper or scales. Its face was the shape of a heart or spade, with elf-like, pointed ears."
He said it was on the tree "bobbing its head back and forth" as though it were looking at the other creature and then at him, Shane explained.
After about five minutes of staring at the creatures around 1 a.m., he said he lost time.
"It was 8:30 (a.m.)," he said. "I don't know what happened in-between."
As crazy as it sounds -- and Michael will admit it sounds crazy -- he worries his son was abducted for a short time.
The father and son said they believe they have both previously seen "plate-shaped" UFOs when they lived in Cosmopolis, Wash.
"(They were) flying on their sides, with an unearthly blue color ... flying downward for momentum, then up and out," Michael said. "I think they might have followed us to North Port."
After two more alleged experiences seeing the creatures, Michael wrote to the Mutual UFO Network of Florida. He explained that he captured on tape a "blinking red (eyeball-like) light in the woods, that made a 'Chewbacca'-like sound."
Shane was angry at it for following him.
"I went into woods with a scythe to defend my home," Shane said. "My father would not let me."
Michael told his son, "if you go into those woods, who is going to have to go in there and get you?"
After Michael's second encounter with the creature, where he said he startled it in his yard, he says he finally has proof it exists.
"It left a footprint in the sand and I made a plaster cast of it," he said. "I took pictures and invited the MUFON UFO Network to come investigate."
Michael says the footprint is not from a human.
"It's hoofed and clawed and is about 18 inches long. It came from a dragon-like creature."
Michael described the creature as cryptid -- a term used in cryptozoology to describe a creature that lacks scientific support, such as a Big Foot or Yeti, as well as extinct species some claim to still be living today.
MUFON field investigator Morgan A. Beall visited the Rowleys.
On May 21, he started case No. 17015, which includes a half-hour documentary he made of the Rowleys' encounters, photographs of the footprint, the negatives and the plaster cast.
According to his findings, Beall wrote "based on case studies, the nature of the witness testimony and other surrounding occurrences points toward the possibility of the abduction phenomenon. More evidence is needed to determine this opinion."
Beall recommended a lie detector test, having the footprint cast examined by independent experts, having the video evidence examined by a professional and having a Florida MUFON abduction specialist examine the case.
Michael said he would like to have Mary Margaret Zimmer, assistant state director of MUFON, examine Shane.
"I think she will be able to help him find where he was taken when he lost time when he was possibly abducted," Michael said.
According to Zimmer, neither of the Rowleys have contacted her yet.
"Shane is a minor, so I would need his father's permission to examine him," she said.
The Rowleys say they are convinced they are
being followed by the creatures.
"I want to sell my home," said Michael, who is on disability benefits. "We are considering moving to England. Maybe they will not find us there."

Over at Earthfiles, Linda Moulton reports that investigators Paul Jones and Andrew Pyrka were checking out a bird-shaped crop circle in June. When an angry farmer kicked them out of his fields, they started to drive away. But then they saw this shiny, orb-like thing floating in a nearby field. Could it have been the author of the crop circle they'd just been investigating? Jones wanted to find out, so he started filming it.
Moulton writes:
Andrew Pyrka was very confused. He was looking all around him, but could not see anything in the sky in any direction! So, Paul began trying to guide Andrew by phone closer and closer to the silver craft above him. At one point, Paul yells in the phone, "Andrew, you're so close, put your arm up and see if you can feel anything."
Andrew Pyrka lifted his left arm straight up toward the sky. "Instantly, when I put my arm up, there was a huge jolt of electrical current that went down my raised arm. I don't think I touched anything solid," he told me, "but I definitely interacted with some kind of strong field the UFO must have been giving off. But why couldn't I see it where I was, while Paul could not only see it, he videotaped it for another fifteen minutes?"
It all began on the evening of August 25, 1951, in Lubbock, Texas. A scientist, Joe Bryant, from the Atomic Energy Commission and his wife were in the yard of their home. A total of 20-30 lights, as bright as stars but larger in size, flew over the yard in a matter of seconds. According to Bryant, he and his wife had seen a group of lights fly overhead, and then two other flights, but when the third group of lights passed overhead they began to circle the Bryant's home. Mr. Bryant and his wife then noticed that the lights were actually plovers, and could hear them as well. The craft was covered with colored lights and strange markings. Unknown to the couple, other witnesses in the area were also seeing strange objects. The next report came from another group of scientists including a geologist, two engineers, and a physicist, each of who observed a formation of nearly three-dozen unidentified turquoise lights moving quickly overhead from north to south. The three professors - Dr. A.G. Oberg, chemical engineer, Dr. W.L. Ducker, a department head and petroleum engineer, and Dr. W.I. Robinson, a geologist - reported their sighting to the local newspaper, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. Following the newspaper's article, three women in Lubbock reported that they had observed "peculiar flashing lights" in the sky on the same night of the professor's sightings. Dr. Carl Hemminger, a professor of German at Texas Tech, also reported seeing the objects, as did the head of the college's journalism department. A few hours later, another fleet of UFOs flew over the group of scientists in an unorganized cluster. The “Lubbock Lights” case had begun!
The Lubbock Lights incident received national publicity and is regarded as one of the first great UFO cases in the United States. The couple and the group of scientists reported their sighting to the Air Force, which began an investigation. According to Dr. Grayson Mead the lights "appeared to be about the size of a dinner plate and they were greenish-blue, slightly fluorescent in color. They were smaller than the full moon at the horizon. There were about a dozen to fifteen of these lights...they were absolutely circular...it gave all of us...an extremely eerie feeling." Mead claimed that the lights could not have been birds, but he also admitted that "they (the lights) went over so fast...that we wished we could have had a better look." The professors observed one formation of lights flying above a thin cloud at about 2,000 feet; this allowed them to calculate that the lights were traveling at over 600 MPH.
The Air Force found further confirmation for the sighting when the nearby radar station of the Air Defense Command Network reported that they observed the unknown objects on their radarscopes and clocked them at a speed of 900 miles per hour. The group of scientists was amazed by their two sightings, and they conjectured that the UFOs might return. They decided to conduct a UFO stakeout. To their amazement, the UFOs did return, again and again! Over the next month, the group of scientists (which had added two more members) experienced a series of 12 different sightings. In each of these cases, the objects were totally silent, moved at supersonic speeds, and sometimes turned at right angles. Meanwhile, in the town of Lubbock itself, more than 200 concerned citizens also viewed the unusual aerial display.
On August 31, 1951, resident and amateur photographer Carl Hart Jr. saw the objects. Hart took a 35-mm Kodak camera and walked to the backyard of his parent's home to see if the lights would return. Two more flights passed overhead, and Hart was able to take a total of five photos before they disappeared. After having the photos developed Hart took them to the offices of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. After examining the photos the newspaper's editor, Jay Harris, told Hart that he would print them in the paper, but that he would "run him (Hart) out of town" if the photos were fake. When Hart assured him that the photos were genuine, Harris paid Hart $10 for the pictures. The photographs were eventually sent to newspapers around the nation, and were printed in LIFE magazine.
On August 31, resident Carl Hart Jr. snapped this famous photograph of a formation of objects as they passed over the town. The photograph has never been satisfactorily explained
The physics laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio analyzed the Hart photographs. After an extensive analysis and investigation of the photos, Lieutenant Edward J. Ruppelt, the supervisor of the Air Force's Project Blue Book, released a written statement to the press that "the Hart photos were never proven to be hoax, but neither were they proven to be genuine". Hart has consistently maintained to this day that the photos are genuine. Curiously, the Texas Tech professors claimed that the photos did not represent what they had seen, since their objects had flown in a "u" formation instead of the "v" formation depicted in Hart's photos.
In late September 1951, Lieutenant Ruppelt read about the Lubbock Lights and decided to investigate them. Ruppelt traveled to Lubbock and interviewed the professors, Carl Hart, and others who claimed to have witnessed the lights. Ruppelt's conclusion at the time was that the professors had seen a type of bird called a plover. The city of Lubbock had installed new vapor street lights in 1951, and Ruppelt believed that the plovers, flying over Lubbock in their annual migration, were reflecting the new street lights at night. Witnesses who supported this assertion were T.E. Snider, a local farmer who on August 31, 1951 had observed some birds flying over a drive-in movie theater; the bird's undersides were reflected in the light. In addition, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a professor of astronomy and one of Project Blue Book's scientific consultants, contacted one of the Texas Tech professors in 1959 and learned that the professor, after careful research, had concluded that he had actually been observing the plovers. However, not everyone agreed with this explanation.
William Hams, the chief photographer for the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, took several nighttime photos of birds flying over Lubbock's vapor street lights and found that he could not duplicate Hart's photos - the images were too dim to be developed. Dr. J.C. Cross, the head of Texas Tech's biology department, ruled out the possibility that birds could have caused the sightings. A game warden Ruppelt interviewed felt that the sightings could not have been caused by plovers, due to their slow speed (50 MPH) and tendency to fly in groups much smaller than the number of objects reported by eyewitnesses. The warden did admit that an unusually large number of plovers had been seen in the fall of 1951. Dr. Mead, who had observed the lights, strongly disputed the plover explanation: "these objects were too large for any bird...I have had enough experience hunting and I don't know of any bird that could go this fast we would not be able to hear...to have gone as fast as this, to be birds, they would have to have been exceedingly low to disappear quite so quickly".
Curiously, in his bestselling 1956 book The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, Ruppelt himself would come to reject the plover hypothesis, but frustratingly refrained from explaining what the lights in fact were: "They weren't birds, they weren't refracted light, but they weren't spaceships. The lights ... have been positively identified as a very commonplace and easily explainable natural phenomenon. It is very unfortunate that I can't divulge ... the way the answer was found.... Telling the story would lead to [the identity of the scientist who "finally hit upon the answer"] and ... I promised the man complete anonymity".
While investigating the Lubbock Lights, Ruppelt also learned that several people in and around Lubbock claimed to have seen a "flying wing" moving over the city. Among the witnesses was the wife of Dr. Ducker, who reported that in August 1951 she had observed a "huge, soundless flying wing" pass over her house. Ruppelt knew that the US Air Force did possess a "flying wing" jet bomber, and he felt that at least some of the sightings had been caused by the bomber, although he could not explain why, according to the witnesses, the wing made no sound as it flew overhead. Still there was little that could be done. By the end of August 1952, the UFOs had stopped appearing and the weird wave of sightings came to a sudden end.

Lake Havasu is a large reservoir behind Parker Dam on the Colorado River, on the border between California and Arizona. Lake Havasu City sits on the lake's eastern shore.
After the Inquisitr covered an incident earlier this week where an Unidentified Flying Object crashed into the Ottawa River near Ottawa, Ontario Canada, we received a mysterious email from someone in possession of thousands of previously classified Canadian government documents revealing how the government would deal with the UFO phenomenon should one land on Canadian soil.
The sender of this email attached several samples of said documents and if you’ve wondered why the governments of the United States and Canada never publicly acknowledge the existence of UFOs, it’s because Canada has followed in the footsteps of the US and opted to cover up or downplay such incidents.
Below is a screenshot of one of the documents. Note the second picture where section 5 is highlighted.
On April 19, 1950, recommendations were drawn up by Canada’s Director of Scientific Intelligence at the time, A. J. G. Langly, for debriefing questionaires to be handed out by the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) in the event someone reported a UFO sighting to them.
Section 5. of that document above states:
“5. You might also consider it advisable to add that should the Flying Saucer actually make a landing on Canadian territory, the nearest RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) Command should be advised immediately by telegram or something of the sort.”
The reply to that first letter is below. Read it carefully and also the notes following.
“The present USAF policy is to play down the subject, investigating only when considered necessary by the area commander without any special arrangements for reporting or investigation.
2. It seems that a similar policy on our part would be wise and that it would be undesirable to produce a special questionnaire or make any arrangements for investigation since this would give publicity to the matter. It is suggested therefore that sighting reports should not be solicited and such as pro-volunteered should be passed to DSI for retention and further notion only if further notion seems necessary.
3. It may perhaps be advisable to have this matter brought up in committee so that an official decision can be taken.”
The recommendations state that USAF (United States Air Force) policy at the time was to play down UFO sightings, and that the Canadian RCMP should not have a questionaire for people who report such sightings because collecting information would draw publicity to the matter. However, if someone submitted their own written statement of a sighting to police, it should be accepted but passed on to another organization to decide whether or not to investigate.
This is just the first sample of these declassified documents. The Inquisitr will have more in this series as we obtain more information from our source. Stay tuned and remember to look up now and then. You never know what you’ll see.
A new breed of UFOlogist has emerged as critics of the burgeoning exopolitics movement. It’s no surprise that in the lead up and success of the world’s first Exopolitics Summit in Barcelona, Spain, that UFOlogists would increasingly perceive exopolitics as an existential threat. The existential threat, according to UFOlogists acting as gatekeepers for “legitimate UFO research,” is that exopoliticians mix reliable with unreliable UFO sources in their analyses. Indeed, this mixing of reliable and unreliable sources leads to a special form of hysteria among gatekeepers of legitimate UFO research. Existential hysteria leads to UFOlogical gatekeepers claiming in all seriousness that exopolitics has become the main obstacle to genuine UFO disclosure. The reality is that after six decades of earnest activity, UFOlogy has failed to take humanity to the promised land of genuine government disclosure of UFOs, and a new set of pioneers have stepped in to light the way. These exopolitical pioneers believe that a nuanced consideration of ALL evidentiary sources and related political processes will expose the truth behind the extraterrestrial hypothesis – that some UFOs are interplanetary in origin.
UFOlogy is broadly defined as a field dominated by those believing in the scientific study of the UFO phenomenon. Using methods and techniques borrowed from disciplines such as physics, meteorology, astronomy and biology, UFOlogists believe that they can amass sufficient evidence to convince hard core skeptics that UFOs are real, and have genuine national security implications. In such an endeavor, any evidence deemed to be unreliable, tainted, not consistent with facts, is jettisoned in order not to corrupt the raw pool of reliable data needed to convince UFO skeptics. The end result of this rigid filtering process is a pool of data that UFOs are indeed real and have important national security implications. For example, UFOs outperform modern aircraft, have crashed and been retrieved in mysterious circumstances, and are often sighted near nuclear installations.
