THIS astonishing video footage is claimed to be the "most important images of a UFO ever filmed" and is said to even depict ALIENS.
The shots were captured by night guard Yalcin Yalman in a compound in Turkey earlier this year.
The 42-year-old and a number of residents claim the UFOs were spotted over a four month period between May and September near the compound in Istanbul.
He said: I dont know what these things are. We filmed them several times and they are totally unknown to us. I was very excited when I saw them and I want the world to know that UFOs do exist.
Almost two-and-a-half hours of footage was filmed featuring a variety of objects ranging from incredible flying saucer-type 'craft' to clustering orb-like lights hovering in the night sky.
Genuine
The clips were handed to the Sirius UFO Space Science Research Centre in Turkey who interviewed witnesses and painstakingly combed through the footage frame by frame.
International UFO researcher Haktan Akdogan said: "In this amazing video footage, physical forms of UFOs and their metallic structures are clearly noticeable.
"What is more important is that in the close-up of some footages of the objects, entities in them can be distinctly made out."
He continues: "We have spoken with all of the witnesses and had detailed analysis conducted on all two-and-a-half hours of footage.
"After conducting all of the analysis we came to the conclusion that this video footage is 100 per cent genuine.
"The objects filmed are structured objects and are not the result of misidentification or natural phenomena, aircraft or astronomical objects.
Sensational ... flying saucer hovers
Alien ... too close for comfort
Visit ... UFO moves through sky

I’m more like once a month or once in 3 months, average.
HIs personality comes through in his writing.
But I really enjoy speaking to him face to face.
It’s a challenge to ask him a question that will garner more than a sentence or 3 answer.
I've thought that many, if not most, of those claiming abductions were either mentally disturbed in some way or outright camera whores, adults with the minds of children dying for attention, any kind of attention, even if it's only ridicule.

In Retrospect: Words Of Wisdom
On June 24, 1977, the 30th anniversary of Kenneth Arnold's historic UFO sighting, prominent pro-UFOlogists met in Chicago to participate in the First International UFO Conference, sponsored by Fate magazine. A few of their 1977 comments from the published proceedings provide a basis for assessing what has changed in the last 21 years, and what has not:
I used to eat it all the time. I miss McDonalds breakfast. I don’t miss being heavy, though.
congrats. BIG CONGRATS on such super impressive progress with an extremely difficult challenge.
Any advice I could give my students wrestling with the same challenge?
....Professor McNally has found that many of them share personality traits and sleep disorders.
"Most of them had pre-existing new-age beliefs - they were into bio-energetic therapies, past lives, astral projection, tarot cards, and so on," he said.
"Second, they have episodes of apparent sleep paralysis accompanied by hallucinations."....
That’s the sort of thing the text and I have told the students.
Thanks.
Relationship breakups can sure leave one without an appetite!
That is based on the assumption that we know everything about physics. I don't think that is the case.
It wasn't that long ago that the "sound barrier" was just that: a barrier.
You need to leave some "wiggle room" for things that are presently unknown to us. Perhaps those from out there have made a few discoveries we haven't. Thousands of credible people have seen these things. It is far more prudent to suppose that there is something we don't know rather than assume all of those people are in error.
“It wasn’t that long ago that the “sound barrier” was just that: a barrier.”
The sound barrier had nothing to do with physics, it was just a barrier some people thought, without any evidence, was unbreakable.
Physics is what governs our universe. Clearly, there are things about physics we don’t yet understand, but the fact is that mass increases as we approach the speed of light. This law was discovered by Einstein and has already been proven to be correct. No one yet has defied the laws of physics in any form.
They are backed into a corner where they must openly insult the personal honor and integrity of a lot of very good people to defend their own prejudices and lack of experience. I might just as well insult the person who's seen a thousand-dollar bill because I myself have never seen one. Ah well. They're still on our side with regard to Obama (I wish they'd remember that), so that's worth remembering for me.
God bless you, Quix! I know we're praying together for our nation close to non-stop for the next 24 to 38 hours.
INDEED, INDEED.
I just received the following by email. I haven’t read the book but I suspect it has a lot of truth, facts in it.
God be with you and hubby.
Reality is all cocked and ready to get twisted every which way but loose.
Buckle seat belts and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY.
Ahem. The sound barrier was very real given the aerodynamics of aircraft at that time. A high pressure standing wave positions itself on the control surfaces of any aircraft not designed to fly above the speed of sound. This is physics as related to fluid mechanics. The engineers had to expand their knowledge before craft could be constructed to fly past that barrier.
Just because Einstien's theories have yet to be broken doesn't mean they eventually won't be broken. One really does have to factor in the observations of thousands of credible witnesses, and assume those craft came from somewhere. If they came from "way out there", then it is a certainty that there is physics we do not know.
When something is observed that transends conventional wisdom, it is best to assume that there are holes in that wisdom. If that were never done, there would never be any new theories. Theories are made to match observations. It is silly and unscientific to discount observations just because they don't fit the theory.
Let me give you a real example. When I was in college many years ago, I wrote software for a digitally-controlled ultraviolet spectrometer that was capable of counting individual photons. Spectra were made of the ultraviolet emissions from a carbon film struck by sulfer-hexafloride molecules accelerated by a 2 MEV linear accelerator. The resultant spectrums contained many small peaks that did not have origin in the current theories at that time. The research team, consisting of several PHDs, abandon the project. Three years later another team built the same instrument, and then managed to explain the peculiar peaks with a modified theory. They won the Nobel Prize. They guys that invented the apparatus wept and knashed their teeth for many years.
It is better to suspect the theory when the observations from reliable sources don't fit the mould.
UFO PING LIST PING.
Please let Las Vegas Dave and I know if you want on or off the list.

This doc is also very, very interesting . . .
Could be considerably discomorting, as well.
I doubt it. You'll consider it a Photoshop job. Photos prove nothing. In fact, I doubt that evidence of any sort could convince you to change your mind.
I prefer to leave the question open. I don't know what UFOs are. I suspect (and circumstantial evidence suggests) that most of the UFOs people see are advanced aircraft of human manufacture, deployed and operated by organizations so far "above top secret" that they no longer have any real connection to any legitimate government. But I can't prove anything. I have simply looked at the evidence available, applied my reason to same, and formed an opinion. Right now, that opinion is "real, but probably of human origin", but I am willing to consider other conclusions as well. I hope that you will do the same.
I may be wrong. UFOs might indeed be spaceships operated by ETs, or perhaps they are demonic in origin, or even some sort of hitherto unknown air-dwelling organism. One thing is certain, however: people continue to see them, and the evidence keeps piling up. I intend to keep looking at the evidence as it appears, and perhaps someday the truth will at last be made plain.
More histrionics.
I'll be quite satified to see a flying saucer light on the side of the road somewhere, where someone can happily take all the sharp and clear pictures they want, and better yet, where there will be time for all the news trucks to get there and feed their signals to the world.
Until then, all the blurry fakes in the world and your whining won't change the fact that it's all a hoax and mass hysteria.

BTW, is ANYONE having a peculiar problem with FR . . .
not all of a post will show up on the screen. REFRESHING
MAY RESULT IN
1. LESS of the post showing up—truncated in mid-sentence like thi
2. MORE of the post but not all of it showing up.
3. ALL of the post showing up.
Sometimes I can refresh 5 times and still not get all of the post.
. . . Very strange.
Will reboot after the spyware scan finishes.
But I think the problem has persisted through a reboot or two.
