Any pilot flying holidaymakers between Manchester and Ibiza must be prepared for outlandish sights. But perhaps nothing so apparently unworldly as this. The captain of a Thomas Cook airliner flying tourists back from the Spanish holiday island to the north of England reported a "near miss" with a "rugby ball"-shaped UFO, which passed within feet of his jet. The encounter, over Reading, Berks, was reported to the aviation authorities, who launched an investigation. But no earthly identity for the object could be established. The encounter was disclosed earlier this month by the Telegraph, following the publication of a report into...

A mystery object spotted on the surface of the moon has sent conspiracy theorists into overdrive. The bizarre wedge-shaped structure with rows of seven light-like dots along its edge appears on the lunar surface. It was discovered on the Google Moon viewer at coordinates 22042'38.46N and 142034'44.52E. Speculation has exploded over the images of the anomaly that UFO websites have likened to an alien lunar base or spaceship. There are also theories that it is an alien spaceship nestled under the dust of the moon or even a secret moon base occupied by humans.

A Saudi newspaper on Friday published a film showing what it described as an unidentified flying object (UFO) passing above the western town of Medina. Sada Arabic language daily said the film was captured by a Saudi man who happened to be near the Prophet’s Mosque around 9.00 pm local time (10.00 pm UAE time). “I was passing just near the mosque when I saw the object…I captured a film of it but I could not trace it as it split into two or three parts,” Fahd Al Harbi told the paper.

'Why didn't he just sit somewhere else?'The Sheriff leading the investigation into the cinema shooting which happened after a row over texting has told MailOnline there is no chance of a Stand Your Ground defence, saying, ‘It was an empty movie theatre. If he was scared why didn’t he move seats?’. Sheriff Chris Nocco has completely dismissed shooter Curtis Reeves’ claims that he gunned down Chad Oulson because he feared for his safety and said there is no way he can use Florida’s controversial self-defence law. He is convinced the retired cop, 71, simply lost his temper after married father-of-one...

Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Here’s a headline for a story that seems just a bit too out-of-this-world to be true:“Snowden Documents Proving ‘US-Alien-Hitler’ Link Stun Russia” appeared on the website of semi-official Iranian news agency Fars News on Sunday. After previously reporting on subjects like the British royal family being Jewish and Israel's plans to annex Iraq, Fars News may have outdone itself by breaking news that the U.S. government has been run by a "shadow government" of Nazi space aliens since 1945.According to the paper, the information about the secret government of Nazi aliens was provided by NSA leaker...

Are you curious about things that have lose ends? I stumble unto this video and found it amusing and entertaining those places of our minds that hardly ever get wonderment juices flowing... I have encounter things like this in the pass but somehow they got away from me only to bump into them now and than on my journey through life... It is more of Coast to Coast stuff... I did go to a lecture by Zackaria Stichen in NYC in the late 1980's very interesting..

It was certainly a close encounter, but with precisely what remains a mystery. An airline pilot has reported a near miss in which a “rugby ball”-shaped UFO passed within a few feet of his passenger jet while flying near Heathrow Airport. The captain told the aviation authorities who have investigated the incident that he was certain the object was going to crash into his aircraft and ducked as it headed towards him. The investigation has been unable to establish any earthly identity for the mysterious craft, which left the aircrew with no time to take evasive action. The incident occurred...

Like most of us, I have measured and evaluated the idea that Obama and his communist backers were taking over (I even spent a goodly amount of money on arms and ammo). The abject failure of Obamacare was a pretty clear indicator that the communists who were planning to take over were either incompetent or completely unprepared for such takeover. I believe that even those who believed Obamacare was meant to fail as a step toward a single payer system were mistaken. The failure of Obamacare is a failure of government. Americans are laughing...and they will soon be angry. I...

While President Barack Obama is departing Hawaii late Saturday, Mrs. Obama is staying behind to spend time with friends ahead of her upcoming 50th birthday party. The White House says the extra time in the islands is part of Mrs. Obama’s birthday gift from the president.

BEND, Ore. Millions greeted the New Year with the usual fireworks. Others say they saw something very unusual.

Is it the work of aliens or practical jokers? An unusual creation has popped up on a farm just south of the Bay Area. A giant crop circle has appeared on Chualar farm in Salinas, Calif. Aerial photographer Julie Belanger spotted the crop circle as she was flying over the valley Monday morning. Belanger took the photo you see here as well as this raw video. "It was beautiful. Quite beautiful," Belanger told NBC affiliate KSBW. "I believe it's possible that aliens exist, but I don't know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message."...

This is just not right.

How many talked up obama care around the Christmas tree / table ?

A research team from the University of Singapore has developed a device that can make objects invisible by bathing them in a beam of darkness. The system takes the conventional approach to optics -- which generally aims to make images as sharp and clear as possible -- and turns it completely on its head. Usually imaging systems focus light into a pattern known as a point spreading function, which consists of a spiked central region of high intensity (the main lobe) surrounded by a concentric region of lower intensity light and a higher intensity lobe after this. In order to...

The global warming crowd is out to prove that “deniers” are anti-science and their arguments aren’t based in reality, and what better way to counter them than by having Santa Claus make the “green” case? At the beginning of the video, it was kind of rude of Greenpeace UK to interrupt “Santa” while he was taking a whiz: Greenpeace UK is soliciting donations to combat global warming with a video entitled “An Urgent Message From Santa.” The video features a deeply depressed, creepy-looking Santa who claims that “melting ice” at the North Pole will force him to “cancel Christmas” unless...

... Moving on to the 1990s, there is the very unsettling saga of Ray Boeche, an Anglican priest and a former state-director for MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network. In 1991, Boeche met (at Lincoln, Nebraska) with two US Department of Defense physicists working on a project to try and contact what were termed “Non-Human Entities,” or NHEs. While the initial assumption on the part of the DoD team-members was that the NHEs were extraterrestrial, that view soon changed. And radically so, too. Eventually, the project personnel concluded that far from being the aliens they purported to be, the NHEs were...

ISON UPDATE/Large Debris Moving Fast. Published on Dec 4, 2013 Ison Update. Solar and Quake Links http://www.BPearthWatch.ComPaul Begley Show Thursday 11 am - 2 pm Central time. LINK http://www.paulbegleyprophecy.com/web... Ison is a V shaped debris field with objects that are miles wide each..at least 21 large ones..They are moving at 2 million miles per day. Ison is moving away from "Secchi A" at that speed which makes it appear smaller from that camera each hour.. THE ROCKS ARE DARK NOW. They will become darker as they move further from the sun over Earth..They will not become smaller.

Got a conspiracy question for y'all tuh consider.

November 22, 2013, is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The true story of JFK's murder has never been officially admitted, although the conclusion that JFK was murdered by a plot involving the Secret Service, the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been well established by years of research, such as that provided by James W. Douglass in his book, JFK And The Unspeakable, published by Simon & Schuster in 2008. Ignore Douglass's interest in the Trappist monk Thomas Merton and Merton's prediction and focus on the heavily documented research that Douglass provides....

An exploded star some 3.8 billion light-years away is forcing scientists to overhaul much of what they thought they knew about gamma-ray bursts – intense blasts of radiation triggered, in this case, by a star tens of times more massive than the sun that exhausted its nuclear fuel, exploded, then collapsed to form a black hole. Last April, gamma rays from the blast struck detectors in gamma-ray observatories orbiting Earth, triggering a frenzy of space- and ground-based observations. Many of them fly in the face of explanations researchers have developed during the past 30 years for the processes driving the...
