People Are Seeing U.F.O.s Everywhere, and This Book Proves It
The New York Times ^ | 4/24/2017 | Ralph Blumenthal

Posted on 04/24/2017 12:09:08 PM PDT by sodpoodle

SYRACUSE — Why have sightings of unidentified flying objects around the nation more than tripled since 2001? Why is July the busiest month for U.F.O. sightings? Why did they spike in Texas in 2008, or in New Mexico in September 2015?

And how in the world, or out of it, has Manhattan racked up New York State’s second-highest tally of U.F.O. sightings in this century?

These questions and many others emerge from the first comprehensive statistical summary of so-called close encounters: 121,036 eyewitness accounts, organized county by county in each state and the District of Columbia, from 2001 to 2015.

Yeah don’t worry its all swamp gas, nothing there,all hogwash.
Here’s some new swamp gas makers, here’s how they do it:
.....................
http://www.darkgovernment.com/news/tr-3b/
The TR-3B is Code named Astra. The tactical reconnaissance TR-3B first operational flight was in the early 90s. The triangular shaped nuclear powered aerospace platform was developed under the Top Secret, Aurora Program with SDI and black budget monies. At least 3 of the billion dollar plus TR-3Bs were flying by 1994. The Aurora is the most classified aerospace development program in existence. The TR-3B is the most exotic vehicle created by the Aurora Program. It is funded and operationally tasked by the National Reconnaissance Office, the NSA, and the CIA. The TR-3B flying triangle is not fiction and was built with technology available in the mid 80s. Not every UFO spotted is one of theirs.

This Video goes the operational details accessed from many sources, although the ARV (alien reproduction vehicle) is the main subject of this video it is also most likely highly relative to the TR-3B.

The TR-3B vehicles outer coating is reactive to electrical Radar stimulation and can change reflectiveness, radar absorptiveness, and color. This polymer skin, when used in conjunction with the TR-3Bs Electronic Counter Measures and, ECCM, can make the vehicle look like a small aircraft, or a flying cylinder–or even trick radar receivers into falsely detecting a variety of aircraft, no aircraft, or several aircraft at various locations. A circular, plasma filled accelerator ring called the Magnetic Field Disrupter, surrounds the rotatable crew compartment and is far ahead of any imaginable technology.

Sandia and Livermore laboratories developed the reverse engineered MFD technology. The government will go to any lengths to protect this technology. The plasma, mercury based, is pressurized at 250,000 atmospheres at a temperature of 150 degrees Kelvin and accelerated to 50,000 rpm to create a super-conductive plasma with the resulting gravity disruption. The MFD generates a magnetic vortex field, which disrupts or neutralizes the effects of gravity on mass within proximity, by 89 percent.

Do not misunderstand. This is not antigravity. Anti-gravity provides a repulsive force that can be used for propulsion. The MFD creates a disruption of the Earth’s gravitational field upon the mass within the circular accelerator. The mass of the circular accelerator and all mass within the accelerator, such as the crew capsule, avionics, MFD systems, fuels, crew environmental systems, and the nuclear reactor, are reduced by 89%. This causes the effect of making the vehicle extremely light and able to outperform and outmaneuver any craft yet constructed–except, of course, those UFOs we did not build.

The TR-3B is a high altitude, stealth, reconnaissance platform with an indefinite loiter time. Once you get it up there at speed, it doesnt take much propulsion to maintain altitude. At Groom Lake their have been whispered rumours of a new element that acts as a catalyst to the plasma. With the vehicle mass reduced by 89%, the craft can travel at Mach 9, vertically or horizontally. My sources say the performance is limited only the stresses that the human pilots can endure. Which is a lot, really, considering along with the 89% reduction in mass, the G forces are also reduced by 89%.

The TR-3Bs propulsion is provided by 3 multimode thrusters mounted at each bottom corner of the triangular platform. The TR-3 is a sub-Mach 9 vehicle until it reaches altitudes above l20,000 feet–then God knows how fast it can go! The 3 multimode rocket engines mounted under each corner of the craft use hydrogen or methane and oxygen as a propellent.

In a liquid oxygen/hydrogen rocket system, 85% of the propellent mass is oxygen. The nuclear thermal rocket engine uses a hydrogen propellent, augmented with oxygen for additional thrust. The reactor heats the liquid hydrogen and injects liquid oxygen in the supersonic nozzle, so that the hydrogen burns concurrently in the liquid oxygen afterburner. The multimode propulsion system can; operate in the atmosphere, with thrust provided by the nuclear reactor, in the upper atmosphere, with hydrogen propulsion, and in orbit, with the combined hydrogen\ oxygen propulsion.

What you have to remember is, that the 3 rocket engines only have to propel 11 percent of the mass of the Top Secret TR-3B. The engines are reportedly built by Rockwell. Many sightings of triangular UFOs are not alien vehicles but the top secret TR-3B. The NSA, NRO, CIA, and USAF have been playing a shell game with aircraft nomenclature – creating the TR-3, modified to the TR-3A, the TR-3B, and the Teir 2, 3, and 4, with suffixes like Plus or Minus added on to confuse further the fact that each of these designators is a different aircraft and not the same aerospace vehicle. A TR-3B is as different from a TR-3A as a banana is from a grape. Some of these vehicles are manned and others are unmanned.

the above explains how the swamp gas gets into the area,the rest is all made up,these ghings dont really exist,really,....

classic case of photoshopping....
..........................
http://www.ufocasebook.com/Aurora.html

About 6 o’clock this morning the early risers of Aurora were astonished at the sudden appearance of the airship which has been sailing around the country. It was traveling due north and much nearer the earth than before.

“Evidently some of the machinery was out of order, for it was making a speed of only ten or twelve miles an hour, and gradually settling toward the earth. It sailed over the public square and when it reached the north part of town it collided with the tower of Judge Proctor’s windmill and went into pieces with a terrific explosion, scattering debris over several acres of ground, wrecking the windmill and water tank and destroying the judge’s flower garden.

“The pilot of the ship is supposed to have been the only one aboard and, while his remains were badly disfigured, enough of the original has been picked up to show that he was not an inhabitant of this world.”

Aurora Map The story never gained a lot of exposure at the time, but eventually it was commented on by UPI on May 24, 1973:

“Aurora, Tex. — (UPI) — A grave in a small north Texas cemetery contains the body of an 1897 astronaut who was ‘not an inhabitant of this world,’ according to the International UFO Bureau.

The group, which investigates unidentified flying objects, has already initiated legal proceedings to exhume the body and will go to court if necessary to open the grave, director Hayden Hewes said Wednesday.

“After checking the grave with metal detectors and gathering facts for three months, we are certain as we can be at this point [that] he was the pilot of a UFO which reportedly exploded atop a well on Judge J.S. Proctor’s place, April 19, 1897,” Hewes said.” “He was not an inhabitant of this world.”

The legend was back in the news! Only a couple of days later, UPI followed up the first report with another from Aurora. They had located a living witness to the event.

“A ninety-one-year-old who had been a girl of fifteen in Aurora at the time of the reported incident was quoted. “I had all but forgotten the incident until it appeared in the newspapers recently.”

She said her parents had actually been to the crash sight, but had not allowed her to accompany them for fear of what might be in the debris.

“She recalled that the remains of the pilot, ‘a small man,’ had been buried in the Aurora cemetery, validating the other legends.”

The Associated Press now joined the chase for the sensational story. From the city of Denton, Texas came this account: “A North Texas State University professor had found some metal fragments near the Oates gas station (former Proctor farm). One fragment was said to be ‘most intriguing’ because it consisted primarily of iron which did not seem to exhibit magnetic properties.”

The professor also said he was puzzled because the fragment was “shiny and malleable instead of dull and brittle like iron.”

For reasons unknown, the Aurora Cemetery Association fought the attempts to exhume the alleged alien body. They were successful, and the dead alien’s remains stayed a mystery.

The town of Aurora still shows traces of Military intervention today, and the question must be asked, “Why would the U. S. Military be in the town of Aurora?”

Anyone familiar with the Roswell crash of 1947 will remember that debris from Mac Brazel’s field was flown to Ft. Worth, which is only a short hop’s distance from Aurora. Is this why the Military was in Aurora? Could the Government have the alien body?

Today Aurora, like other cities, is modernized, and yet a few hints of the past still remain. Although the headstone of the alien was stolen, there remain pictures of it today. A copy of this photo now adorns the grave site.

There has been, at times, a lobby to exhume the remains of the little pilot and give it a proper burial, with a new headstone. So far, this has not happened. Should the little grave be dug up, or should we just leave it and the legend of the Aurora UFO alone?

Then of course there is the fraud known as the Phoenix Lights seen by thousands, a mile long UFO documented by tv station after station.
Nothing more that photoshop and swamp gas for sure.
No way these things could exist and be seen night after night. Where would they fill up with gas?

I seem to remember one of the 9-11 videos points out a UFO near the towers...

And then of course there is the orb over the Temple Mount while Megan Kelly was on air. UFO Over Temple Mount - Megyn Kelly

I don’t know what you’re all hyped up about. One piece of an alien craft or being is what we need. But they don’t exist. At least not here.

Though if you find one, please let us all know.

Seems like you in-depth investigatory skills have led you in the right direction,nothing there for sure,just a few million sightings and all kinds of physical evidence but don’t let that get in your way.And don’t ask for links do you own work.

I've talked to guys manning radar posts during the Vietnam war and they experience unexplainable speeds and maneuvers by unidentified objects. All of them got a visit by plainclothes men who took the recordings.

Back in summer of 1978 I stayed up late watching TV and around 2 AM and my dog wanted outside. It was a hot inside the house so I took him out on a leash to cool off a bit.

I then seen a bright looking star above the Minnesota bluffs by the Mississippi river that kept growing larger and larger. It eventually became a huge hovering fireball.

It started moving to the south along the bluff in an unsteady path. I ran inside the house to wake my parents. The light was then growing dimmer until it faded away. As we stood on the front porch a giant black triangle shaped object flew to the east slowly over our heads and it was completely silent. We lived next to an airport yet nothing was ever disclosed to the public by them.

This is a real phenomena that is happening to people, that is not easily accepted or explained.

I saw the same thing on a cold winter night in the late ‘60’s in Andover MA. A point of light moving across the sky like a satellite, but then making a 90 degree turn, continuing on a bit then accelerating off out of sight almost instantaneously!

In the early ‘90’s I was on the Boston to Newark afternoon shuttle in the winter climbing through clouds after take-off and spotted a huge hotair balloon-shaped or lightbulb-shaped UFO between a very brief opening in the clouds at about 10,000 ft. It looked like the Gulf Breeze UFOs, and had radial markings and a flange at the bottom like those UFOs.

Shuttle passengers are almost all tired business people who aren’t looking our the windows of the plane like I was (I wa not a “regular”). I looked up and down the plane to see if anybody else was reacting to what I has seen and no one else was responding at all.

I did report both incidents to MUFON.

I saw one of those 90 degree turn UFOs in the winter of 1967 or 1968 in Andover MA not far from the high activity area of Southern NH where that couple was allegedly abducted not long before then IIRC.

A 90 degree turn is outside physics as we understand it, and certainly there would be no humans on board expected to survive such a turn! I guess these things could just be autonomous robot drones running on cosmic GPS mapping!

As a Christian, you may be interested to check out what these people have to say about UFOs from a Christian perspective.

Check out this youtube video. These people had a similar sighting on the highway like yours. I suggest seeing the whole video, but the interview starts at 4:42.

I wonder how many FReepers have seen what they believe to be a bona fide UFO and are willing to admit it?

I have, as a child, during a supposed UFO “outbreak” locally.

I didn't, as a child, everyone else in the neighborhood did.

The very next day my parents took me in to have my eyes checked. I had glasses as soon as they could be made.

For years afterwards I could truthfully say that I owed my good vision to flying saucers!

In my walk with God through Christ, I can see an infinitely growing number of possibilities..moving star at Christ birth the chariot wheel, carrying prophets to heaven etc.
God has shown me this in my search, be it so to us according to our faith..is exactly that..In that spirit I see many flocks..
To me if we consider the stages which are in the development of man’s consciousness we see in the future a world perfected under Christ...the birds of the field do not sow or reap for food why does not man? In this the reality of a supernatural world is seen easily..no technology needed..But if we consider this world my have”cycled “many times, raising civilizations and and watching it destroy itself..in this lesson of lack of faith to faith we see the world’s reality is now under the fear of death..If we did not fear death we would not need technology..we would not have to kill each other on a world we are dying in anyway..because our faith, our love should be the goal..not life in an unhatched world(a separate discussion).. So today man is already beginning to decide we should go into space in an effort to preserve our species..Let’s say that happened before..it is not far fetched..during the times of Noah the whole world was populated, large cities are described, so the time between Eden and that time is to me much longer than we understand..
so the point is , if the circle of life, the alpha and omega if you will, is a recurring circle..I do not believe in Human reincarnation by force..just to clarify the point, then it is entirely possible a past world of earth developed as we have perhaps millions of years ago and traveled into the universe..this does not make them enlightened beings..they are still in the physical universe and no technology can bridge that gap..That being said, being the Lord is infinite and eternal it is possible they know the Lord will return and perhaps can gain salvation..another flock besides the theories of that being america etc, it could be other worlds..he is King of Heaven..an infinite realm..

others believe they are demonic, i think that depends on their hearts motive..

Others say they are those who have grown from the earthly realm...the meek will inherit the earth and God gave them pollution free energy(not my point of view)and now are guardians of the physical universe to keep man from destroying himself entirely which we are certainly under way..not talking about global warming, but the fact that concrete earth cannot sustain life..so babylon the whore comes in, if we are to have the reality of the Jewish folks in the desert plus infinity, we do not need technology and to me I believe technology is not man’s friend..we do not need a concrete world..we need God in our lives through Christ..the only path home..As God says in revelations, I come to destroy the destroyers of the earth..So that is why I said what I said bout my sighting at my gate at ohare years ago..my first thought was, if you are from Christ, you came here, let’s talk, if you are not from Christ, submit to Him for salvation all worlds all universes..Learn His ways of peace and natural power..Heaven exist in our devotion to Him through humilty, faith, and prayer..

The hopi Indian legends tell of a kachina(space person) landing and gathering the main 5 tribes of mankind in the desert, and laying out many ears of corn, one like today, no blemishes, large kernals, no bugs, engineered food genetically and several in between and an old Indian corn, short, small kernals, no so pretty in today’s standards.The space brother asked them, which corn would you choose for your people in the future, 4 tribes chose the forms of genetically engineered corn, the Hopi chief chose the small not uniform Indian corn, The space brother then told the Hopi Man he was wise as Man cannot improve on what God makes, the genetic manipulation has caused the food to loose nutrients..then he gave the hopi the land, as God gave the Jewish folks land. Interesting stuff..smile..

If they are demonic, LOrd change them, if they are angelic beings using technology God gave, Lord help us understand, and if the path of Christ is dimmmed by civilization, kill it so the light may shine..

Peace in our risen Lord...
