Fort Collins, CO, July 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Radar data obtained by MUFON confirms that there were Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) flying above Stephenville, Texas, January 8th, 2008, just as many eyewitnesses had reported and which made headlines worldwide. MUFON's analysis of the radar data obtained through freedom of information act (FOIA) requests to the National Weather Service and the FAA show that unknown flying objects were on a direct course to President Bush's Crawford ranch and were separate from the known F-16 jets the same radar data confirmed were flying in the area that night. The unknown radar targets, which...

A Royal Navy aircraft engineer claims to have seen a "glowing" UFO hover over the M5 motorway. Michael Madden, 25, said he watched in disbelief as the disc-shaped object floated above his head before it "zoomed off at incredible speed". He said the unidentified flying object flew for up to three minutes above junction 21 of the M5, near Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. Mr Madden was on his way back from Manchester with colleague Michael Casson, 22, at 9.50pm on Sunday June 29 when he saw the suspected 'extra-terrestrial' craft....

*The question was sure to come up during press interviews for the upcoming "X-Files" movie. Rapper Xzibit, who plays an FBI agent in the film, was asked if he believes in the existence of other life forms in the universe. "I don't believe in aliens," the 33-year-old tells People magazine. "I don't think aliens or ghosts like black people. We never get abducted; our houses never get haunted. It always happens in rural areas, where no ethnic people live. The day I see somebody from South Central Los Angeles say, 'Man, I got abducted yesterday,' then I'll believe it." "The...

A police helicopter crew has spotted what is described as an unusual aircraft in the Vale of Glamorgan. The helicopter was above St Athan - home to a RAF base and close to Cardiff International Airport - but could not capture any images before the object vanished over the Bristol Channel. South Wales Police says the helicopter did not give chase and describes the three man crew as very experienced. The sighting on 7 June has now been reported for investigation. A South Wales Police spokesperson said: "The crew are very experienced and responded in a professional manner in relation...

Nine experienced cross-country skiers hurriedly left their tent on a Urals slope in the middle of the night, casting aside skis, food and their warm coats. Clad in their sleepwear, the young people dashed headlong down a snowy slope toward a thick forest, where they stood no chance of surviving bitter temperatures of around minus 30 degrees Celsius. Baffled investigators said the group died as a result of “a compelling unknown force” — and then abruptly closed the case and filed it as top secret. The deaths, which occurred 49 years ago on Saturday, remain one of the deepest mysteries...

Three people - including a 60-year-old woman accused of indecent exposure - have been charged after an anti-war demonstration. Scotland Yard made 25 arrests after 10 officers suffered minor injuries during a demonstration in Parliament Square as George Bush visited Downing Street on Sunday. Up to 2,500 demonstrators gathered in the square to mark President Bush's farewell tour of London, with around 1,200 police officers working on each day of his visit. Members of the Stop the War Coalition, CND and the British Muslim Initiative organised the rally. A 60-year-old woman will appear before Tower Bridge magistrates on June 25...

Tom Cruise and Dr. Drew are feuding over Drew's views on Scientology. Drew Pinsky asked in a Playboy interview why Cruise would be drawn to "a cultish kind of environment like Scientology." He said it's a symptom of "a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood" and "maybe some abuse." Cruise's lawyer shot back a response to what he called "this unqualified television performer." Bert Fields tells the New York Post that Pinsky is "so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them." He said: "The last time we heard garbage like...

UFO had a mid-air collision with a fighter jet over central Europe, a leaked report has revealed. Defence chiefs are investigating claims that the Romanian MIG 21 fighter plane was struck by 'strange objects'. The official report says the cockpit of the jet was shattered. Romanian defence ministry officials have ruled out all normal types of collision such as birdstrikes, ice or small meteorites. Chief investigator Commander Nicolae Grigorie said in the report: 'We can definitely say what this thing was not, but we cannot say what it was.' The impact on a training flight above Transylvania took only 67...

Jeff Peckman is a 54-year-old who lives with his parents, promotes technology that supposedly creates harmony by manipulating electromagnetic fields and is behind an initiative to form a commission on extraterrestrials in Denver. "He's less ahead of his time if you put him in Boulder," ... "He's more ahead of his time in downtown Denver." Peckman is derided, dismissed and deemed a doofus ... His projects - everything from technology called brain fingerprinting to an Oregon ballot initiative to label genetically engineered food ... In 2003, Peckman championed Initiative 101, which would have required the city to promote peacefulness. The...

DUANESBURG, N.Y. - A 29-year-old man leaped out of a plane at 10,000 feet with a camera but no parachute Saturday. His body was found next to a house with a damaged roof, police said. Sloan Carafello of Schenectady, who was observing on the flight, followed an instructor, student and videographer out the door, wearing no skydiving gear, officials said. Police said they did not suspect foul play but would not elaborate. Robert Rawlins, pilot and owner of the Duanesburg Skydiving Club, said he was flying the single-engine plane and had begun to close the door when Carafello jumped. His...

Nuclear war will begin next Thursday, June 12, or sooner, according to the latest prediction of self-proclaimed prophet Yisrayl "Buffalo Bill" Hawkins, the founder of a religious sect in Abilene, Texas. "It could be turned loose before then," Hawkins told 20/20 for a report to be broadcast tonight. "You're going to see this very soon, really soon," he said.

A Denver man named Jeff Peckman wants to spend $75,000 in taxpayer money to deal with aliens, and not the illegal kind. He wants the City of Denver to create an "Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission" that would handle the problem of alien encounters. It's unclear what, exactly, that is, but perhaps those who have been anally probed by aliens would receive counseling or victims' assistance funds. But here's where the story gets strange. To publicize his efforts, Peckman held a press conference on May 30 announcing that he had definitive proof of alien visitation. This came in the form of a...

I found this from Youtube on it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QG0q0EpRpA The eyes of the world are on Denver today for the showing of a video that purports to show a space alien. Live transmissions and recordings of the video were not allowed. The Rocky's Bill Scanlon is blogging live. 12:33 p.m. Shannon Mundell, of Arvada, said she wanted to see the video because she's known people who have had contact with aliens and "when you look in their eyes you know that what they saw was real." She said that other countries are more accepting of ET's, but that "in America, we...

Jeff Peckman, who is pushing a ballot initiative to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver to prepare the city for close encounters of the alien kind, said the video is authentic and convinced him that aliens exist. “As impressive as it is, it’s still one tiny portion in the context of a vast amount of peripheral evidence,” he said Wednesday. “It’s really the final visual confirmation of what you already know to be true having seen all the other evidence.”

DENVER — A man wants Denver city voters to set up a commission to prepare for visits from space aliens, and he plans to release a videotape Friday that convinced him there is life on other planets.< >Seven high school students from Littleton watched the hearing, wearing tin foil hats they had seen in "Signs," the M. Night Shyamalan movie about aliens.< >

I'm currently of the opinion the disaster that has been president Bush for the last few years (yes, I was a supporter of George till he quit being a conservative) should cause Obamanation to win. I'm all for fighting the war over there. What I'm not for is letting the current congressional majority pass whatever they want and the President not showing any leadership skills with Republicans currently in congress. RINO's like McCain have ruined the party with their descent to moderation from Regan style Republican values. Obama should win this election so the nation can see the real differences...

Egyptologist and pre-historian Stephen Mehler will share research into the crystal skulls and how they relate to UFOs, ETs, and portals into other dimensions. I guess this in celebration of the new Indiana Jones movie.

This Explains A Lot!! Many of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, almost exactly 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with Five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico . This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations. However, what you may NOT know is that nine months after that historic day, in the month of March 1948, the following people were born: Albert A. Gore, Jr. Hillary Rodham...

REGINA -- A macabre mystery that pops up around the world has surfaced once again on a secluded Saskatchewan farm. The most recent case of cattle mutilation occurred in the Stockholm area, just yards away from where Heather Harris and her husband slept. Harris was out tending the cattle the next day when she made the grisly discovery. "It's hard to describe what she looked like ...," Harris said, recalling finding the cow's corpse. "I told my husband, 'You don't even want to see this.' " The pregnant cow was missing its rectum, female organs, udder, navel, top and bottom...

At the bottom of the webpage of the Swedish branch of the Citizen's Commission for Human Rights, located at http://www.kmr.nu/ , there is featured quote and photo from everyone's favorite lying weasel filmmaker, Michael Moore. "... I'll tell you, they would had me so doped up, you guys.. never even would have heard of me." The Citizen's Commission for Human Rights is a well-known front group for the Church of Scientology, which aims to replace the practice of psychiatry worldwide with it's own wacky form of mind control.

A student at the University of Mississippi will leap into the final frontier of the legal system Saturday when he receives the first-ever space law certificate in the United States. Michael Dodge of Long Beach, Calif., earned the special distinction along with his law degree through the National Center for Remote Sensing, Air and Space Law at the university's law school. "The professors and personnel here are the highest quality that can be found anywhere in the world, and I have learned from them the necessary skills I will need to effectively practice space law," Dodge said in a statement....

Never-before-seen video of "space aliens" - footage that will be revealed to the public in a few weeks - convinced Jeff Peckman that extraterrestrials exist. "These happen to be the little gray ones, about four feet tall," said Peckman, who is proposing the creation of an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in Denver, believed to be the first of its kind. "You could see them blink as they looked in a window and panned a room," Peckman, 54, said. Peckman is sponsoring an initiative that would require the city to create an ET Commission... Among the curious who attended the hearing were...

Madisonville (WVLT) - Man-made or alien-aligned? For the second time in two years, a crop circle's appeared in Monroe County. Volunteer TV's Mike McCarthy's walked the crop circle. Does anyone know what made this? Not just yet, but everyone has their own theory. This new designs just down the road from the first crop circle. That appeared last May also in a wheat field. Neighbors say whoever, or whatever did it worked quickly and quietly. Beyond still-standing blades, there are others pushed in a perfect pattern. "I don't know whether it's man-made or not," resident Johnnie Helm said. It's the...

SENSATIONAL sightings of a flying HUMAN above the skies of Mexico could be genuine, says a paranormal expert. The mysterious woman-like figure was caught on camera as it hovered above mountains in Nuevo Leon city. UFO watchers said the figure appeared to be wearing a cape leading to claims that it was a witch or wizard when it was first seen in 2006. Now Mexico’s leading Ufologist Anna Luisa Cid says the sightings were true after carrying out her own investigations. She said: "I think that the possibility is there. An imaginary object is not recorded on film, nor it...

The truth is finally out there about the new "X-Files" movie title. The second big-screen spinoff of the paranormal TV adventure will be called "The X-Files: I Want to Believe," Chris Carter, the series' creator and the movie's director and co-writer, told The Associated Press. Distributor 20th Century Fox signed off on the title Wednesday. The title is a familiar phrase for fans of the series that starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents chasing after aliens and supernatural happenings. "I Want to Believe" was the slogan on a poster Duchovny's UFO-obsessed agent Fox Mulder had hanging in...

*In an interview with Blender magazine, Alicia Keys says she believes that "gangster rap" and the bicoastal feud that resulted in the deaths of Tupac and Biggie were created by The Man. "'Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. 'Gangsta rap' didn't exist," said Keys, 27, in the magazine's May issue, on newsstands tomorrow. The singer also says that the rivalry between slain artists Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing." The Grammy-winner, who wears a gold AK-47 pendant...

YOWIE hunter Paul Compton has long believed a giant animal lives in the Glen Innes district - and he claims he finally has photos to prove it. Two days before Christmas, Mr Compton set up a wild view trail camera in an area north west of Glen Innes he has been watching for some time. A week later he returned, finding the camera - triggered by movement - had shot 921 images, including two showing a blurred black figure he claims to be the elusive animal. “There had been a lot of activity there - rocks moved, broken tree limbs...

With oil prices skyrocketing, and everybody agreeing in saying that the US should be out of OPEC's grip, there are divergent opinions on how to do it. Me, I want to see a Manhattan/Moon shot type of project, where the US focuses right now on getting out of the grips of OPEC and a petroleum based economy. I know, I know, some elite Rush conservatives on FR will say that I am a heretic, for not waiting for pure economic theory to come through, but hey you Rush elitists, the pure economic theory is not working and people are hurting....

Last weekend I went to visit my Dad in Idaho, and one of our conversations got around to Bigfoot, and he related an interesting story to me. It’s quite long, but I think you’ll find it’s worthwhile to read. I enjoyed hearing it from my Dad, and I enjoyed writing it down here. Got a few goose bumps looking over my notes and writing it all out with my back to set of windows facing a thick Northwest forest at three in the morning. But they were the good kind of goose bumps that accompany that anticipatory thrill one gets...

This is one in a series of stories that goes behind the scenes to explore the unusual, memorable, quirky things people do -- and go through -- in the courses of their lives. Frederick County native Keith Chester is among the 14 percent of Americans, along with former President Jimmy Carter, who told The Associated Press last year that they've seen an Unidentified Flying Object. Now, after four years of research at the military National Archives in College Park, Chester has published a print-on-demand, 320-page book on the subject titled, "Strange Company: Military Encounters with UFOs in WWII."

It is not yet known at what point the citizens of Key West opted to repeal the laws of gravity that govern the rest of us. But it appears the decision was made on or before Aug. 6, 1974. It was on that day that America's southernmost community apparently opted to spit in Sir Isaac Newton's face. On that serene and surreal evening, the forces of nature (and perhaps some other forces, depending on whom you ask) converged with our national pastime on the corner of the Bermuda Triangle, crafting a moment that, in terms of sheer oddity, may have...

It's not as though Nasa is beaming out the Cheeky Girls back catalogue or the collected works of Florence Foster Jenkins. Nevertheless, scientists warn that transmitting songs into deep space could put the Earth at risk of an alien attack. They voiced fears that advertising humanity's place in the universe - as happened last week when Nasa broadcast a Beatles track towards the North Star - could attract the attention of aliens who are less friendly than ET. Dr Douglas Vakoch of the SETI Institute, which has been leading the search for extraterrestrials, told New Scientist magazine: "Before sending out...

Free-market economist and commentator Dom Armentano never considered his occasional reflections on America’s UFO conundrum to be particularly gutsy. After all, this stuff’s on "Larry King" now. But his Jan. 8 op-ed piece in the Vero Beach Press-Journal advocating government declassification was evidently too much for his bosses at the libertarian Cato Institute. A few days after his column appeared, the Vero Beach resident got a letter informing him Cato was in the “process of overhauling” its adjunct scholars program. More to the point, it was canning Armentano as an adjunct scholar. Incredulous, the man whose recent ruminations on UFOs...

There were strange goings on at the farm today when a flock of sheep made their own version of a crop circle. About 100 of the woolly creatures formed an orderly ring - baffling the farmer and passers-by. But after hearing the roar of the boss's tractor the animals scattered like a group of naughty schoolboys. Photographer Russell Bird, who captured the amazing scene, said:"I was quite taken aback. I couldn't believe what I was seeing," he said. "I did see a dog worrying sheep nearby beforehand and the dog ran off round the hedge in a different field, so...
