Air Force colonel reports lights 'not of this world' Snaps images above Arkansas: 'I have no idea what they were'
In the wake of reports of unidentified objects flying over Chicago's O'Hare Airport, a retired Air Force pilot has his own mystery with a rash of bright, colorful lights he photographed hovering in skies over western Arkansas last week.
"I believe these lights were not of this world, and I feel a duty and responsibility to come forward," Col. Brian Fields told WND. "I have no idea what they were."
Fields, 61, was cooking chicken at his Van Buren, Ark., home Jan. 9 when just before 7 p.m., he observed two intensely bright lights as he looked to the southeast close to the horizon.
"At first I thought they were landing lights from an aircraft," he said. "As I continued to observe them they began to slowly disappear, then suddenly one reappeared, followed by two, then three. On at least one occasion four or five appeared. Each time they would slowly fade and eventually disappear. This occurred several times and when they would reappear they might do so in differing numbers and in different positions, sometimes in a triangular shape, sometimes stacked on top of each other, sometimes line abreast, etc. When the objects appeared they might stay illuminated 10 or more minutes."
Fields' wife thought the lights may have been ground-based, but Fields says he's certain they were airborne. The retired colonel spent close to 32 years in the military, flying F-16s as a member of the 188th Fighter Wing of the Arkansas Air National Guard.
"I'm certain it wasn't an aircraft [from Earth]," said Fields, who also ruled out the possibility of flares, saying they didn't descend like flares typically do. "It's not anything I ever had any experience with . ... They were some kind of energy or something."
Fields grabbed his Canon digital camera with 6 megapixel resolution to document what he and his wife were witnessing, and snapped numerous images of the mysterious lights.
He says the phenomenon lasted an hour and 15 minutes, and local news agencies have not published or broadcast any reports of what the couple witnessed. WND surveyed local police and sheriffs agencies, as well as Fort Chaffee, a decommissioned Army base in the region, and no one reported anything out of the ordinary.
"I just can't imagine other people didn't see it," Fields said, noting they appeared at times like a yo-yo at 5 to 10 degrees above the horizon.
Earlier this month, the Chicago Tribune reported workers for United Air Lines said they saw a flying saucerlike object hovering "low over O'Hare International Airport for several minutes before bolting through thick clouds with such intense energy that it left an eerie hole in overcast skies."
That Nov. 7 sighting took place just before sunset about 4:30 p.m.
According to Tribune columnist Jon Hilkevitch, "All the witnesses said the object was dark gray and well defined in the overcast skies. They said the craft, estimated by different accounts to be 6 feet to 24 feet in diameter, did not display any lights.
"Some said it looked like a rotating Frisbee, while others said it did not appear to be spinning. All agreed the object made no noise and it was at a fixed position in the sky, just below the 1,900-foot cloud deck, until shooting off into the clouds."
When interviewed on National Public Radio about the story, Hilkevitch indicated the event was anything but a hoax.
"That's what impressed me about this. All aviation professionals, very credible sources and they are very serious," Hilkevitch said. "They are not saying what they saw was a, you know, a spaceship from another planet, but it was unidentified, it was in restricted airspace, and they were concerned from a safety standpoint. That if this was something man-made, they needed to get it out of there because they were having busy flight operations in the early evening hours."
Back in Arkansas, Col. Fields, who says he's a Christian who has not been a believer in alien life forms from other planets, speculated what he saw could possibly be related to ancient texts from the Bible.
One of them is Luke 21:11, where Jesus discusses signs of the End Times, stating, "And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."
Another is even more ancient, going back to the time of Noah's flood.
"That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. ... There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." (Genesis 6:2-4)
These Old Testament verses have been enigmatic for centuries, but many Christians believe they refer to a time in antiquity when spirit beings, perhaps angels in rebellion against God, visited Earth and had sexual relations with human women, producing "giants," which is translated from the Hebrew word "Nephilim," which some scholars say is better translated as "fallen ones."
"I believe it's prophetic, something do with what's happening in the Middle East today," said Fields. "If this is some kind of event with visitation, it's entirely possible. When the anti-Christ comes into power, it's not going to be something we expect. The deception that is going to be attached to it is going to be so powerful, you're gonna have to go against your reason to reject it."
While Fields cannot be certain of what it was he saw, he wants to tell people not to be deceived.
"Be awake, be mindful you can be deceived," he said. "There are things that can shake our world."
Arkansas, again?
Klintoon comes to mind.
I think "garbage" applies to the photo.
Which proves nothing.
To me, it just reminds me of the dreaded (to the reasonable) "orb" photos in the ghost world.
They are just a bunch of colored orbs with no special shape, and this photo has no other detail at all to it to allow any real connection to something "other-worldly".
His story is more interesting than the photo. Photo proves nothing.
They are all about equally motion-blurred, in the same direction.
Relative to a question on this thread ABOUT fuzzy photos . . . there's this fascinating thread on ABOVETOPSECRET.COM AT:

This is also the "blog" that John Lear mentioned on C2C last night. Below is from just one multipage section. There are more than 14 sections.

Sleeper, why do you think that all pictures of ufo's are blurred and fuzzy?
Why do you think that all ufo sightings are summary described ?
ETs are slowly making themselves known, eventually they will come out and everyone can take pictures of the neatto flying machines and them----but I’m thinking it will not be for sometime yet.
We have stealth aircraft designed to avoid radar and other forms of detection because we wish to remain incognito during reconnaissance.
The ETs have the ability to mask their ships in infinite ways, including making them very difficult to photograph. They are invisible most of the time and uncloak only when they want certain people to see them-----however, they don’t allow clear photos of their ships because they are not ready to make full contact.
That is why most contactees can only give brief statements of their experiences----nine-five percent of what most experience is blocked from memory------regression only reveals what the aliens allow and most of the time info from regression is only stuff the ETs put there for that purpose-----ETs are not as dumb as some people think.
But ETs will dictate information telepathically like questions asked of them-----seeing is believing, they know this and don’t want much of their stuff described on the front pages of newspapers.

I’m still here because obviously I’m no threat, being slightly entertaining is not going to upset the apple cart of the military or the ETs.
Obviously the ETs want some of this out there, a little at a time otherwise no one would be able to tell their stories.
The military can’t “whack” people like me without permission from the ETs.

I agree one hundred percent------without proof I wouldn’t believe either-----and I believe one hundred percent.

5) Do they believe this is ethical?
6) why haven't they bothered to ask us about it?
1. This planet is in the incubation stages----there are more than one race of ETs here because there are many programs involved----humans share identical DNA because that is a requirement of this planet-----but that doesn’t mean all humans originated from one place, but from hundreds of places in the galaxy.
2. They interact with those they use as vehicles to bring things into this planet, like technology, and higher awareness.
3. I was willing to work cheap.
4. The population as a whole would revolt against an entity from other worlds-----not everyone wants ETs down here telling us what to do. The vast majority is not ready.
5. It is ethical to keep this planet from a mental meltdown, because that’s what would happen if all of a sudden humanity became aware that there are thousands of ET ships on earth, on the moon, in orbit around the planet and throughout the solar system.
6. We wouldn’t understand the question.
quote: Originally posted by mbkennelIf they had the ability to colonize the galaxy why it wouldn't be bursting with obvious EM signs that we would have seen with SETI. {Frankly I would have thought that if major ET civilizations with interstellar travel were possible, then SETI would have given a positive result the very first time it was turned on, as thousands of solar systems would be giving artificial emissions.
Humans have yet to hatch out of this planet yet we believe that we can pick up advanced extraterrestrial communications. Humans are a few hundred years from that kind of ability. SETI is the pioneer, but they hardly have any devices to detect exotic ET stuff.
There are thousands of alien ships buzzing all over the place right here on earth and our technology can’t detect them, yet we point our equipment at places light years away and we expect what?
It wasn’t that long ago that we communicated with smoke signals, and cuneiform tablets. The electromagnetic spectrum is a nice communications vehicle for us today, but it’s not what the big boys in galaxies faraway play with.

PING
Strange lights, wish they were more defined so that features could be seen.
Observations of what? Flashing lights? What does it prove one way or another?
True . . . did you read the sleeper blog excerpts?
I didn't observe any flashing lights.
The lights were solidly on and rather large in proportion to the craft, it seemed. The craft was very clearly discernable in the binoculars and looked exactly like a number of photos of such on the web.
The Belgium flurry of sightings were almost all triangular UFOs, which suggests that the triangular ones are *not* "ours".
Get me sugar...and water.

The assumption, inferrence is not necessary at all, imho.
35+ years ago my relative insisted that our craft could go virtually or literally instantly to any spot on the globe either under computer control or piloted.
I personally don't know whether ALL triangle craft are ours, or not. I just heard John Lear say so. He has a lot better connections than I do.
But our craft have been roaming unfettered over the entire globe for decades. Some say to the moon and Mars besides.
That was my first thought too. I usually refuse to read WND, but needed a laugh this morning.
And yet, they decided to converge on Belgium back in the 1980s...
Belgium . . . the budding globalist capital . . .
could have been many reasons.
But I don't really KNOW that ALL triangles are man made and ran. It's just that John Lear believes that's so and said so.
The sleeper thread on ATS.COM is 110 sections long. I'm noly on 31
He's clearly bought into a chunk of disinformation. Doesn't even believe Jesus was a real person.
Great Deception times, for sure.
