VIDEO: Schoolgirl films ‘UFO sighting’
shropshirestar ^ | Friday, 20th March 2009

Posted on 03/20/2009 9:42:51 AM PDT by JoeProBono

This is the latest in a series of sightings of UFOs in the skies over Shropshire which was captured on camera by Bridgnorth school girl Harriet Rogers.

Thirteen-year-old Harriet filmed about seven minutes-worth of footage with the help of her dad on February 21.

The pair were amazed to see the light and spent about 20 minutes watching the bizarre lights. It was still there when they stopped recording, Harriet said.

“My grandmother telephoned telling us about a light in the sky; we went upstairs and had a look.

“What my dad and I saw was a light much brighter compared to the stars.

“At first, we thought it was a helicopter but then my dad went outside but could not hear any rotor blades.

“That’s when we started getting suspicious, so I got the camcorder out.

“To the human eye, it just looked like a bright light but, on the cam-recorder we could see it pulsing, then suddenly changing colours. It was low in the sky, the bright light on the first part of the recording is a street light,” said Harriet.

Well, THAT was pretty boring.

A picture of the full moon going in and out of focus.

Bright light on the horizon, slowly moving down for most of an hour. My guess is bright star or planet. When I get home, I’ll run date and location against “Stellarium”. It can show the sky at any location or time. There were some sightings in Pennsylvania recently documented on a Discovery channel UFO special. Stellarium showed that they were describing, very accurately I might add, the normal sky and stars, visible that night. There observations were spot on, but their interpretation left something to be desired.

It’s a lens flare.

It looks to me like the girl is shining a flashlight on a window or glass door. I can see the faint outline of a person in the background — very fuzzy, but definitely there.

I believe in UFOs conceptually, but automatically think these “sightings” are bogus. Photos are easy to fake with Photoshop. Videos are never in focus. There are never two different photos or videos that’ll allow triangulation of the object to get an accurate size and location reference. When one lands and interacts, I’ll believe they’ve come to visit. Until then, I’ll believe they’re somewhere out there in the broad universe but not fixated on our planet.

Think of Roswell: A whole field of debris and Jesse Marcel supposedly brought some home to show the family, but no one kept even a small piece as a souvenir???

I’m alright. It’s just that my butt is dragging a few minutes behind me. I probably throw like a girl too. :)

There’s an older couple that I help take care of and drive for (she’s never had a license). He’s been in two hospitals since the 6th, the second one in another county. Got him back in our county now, (yesterday), in a nursing home for “rehab” or stepdown, or whatever it’s called. That’s at least shaved 45 minutes off the drive each way.

What’s with all the conspiracy theorist UFO threads lately? Is FR a conspiracy website?

The article seems to describe several bright lights low in the sky that night. Without any sort of azimuth info, it would be almost impossible to pin it down with certainty. However, Sirius is low in the western sky, and Betelgeuse and Rigel are both setting. 3 very bright stars in fairly close together. There's nothing in the video that suggests anything but a bright, very out of focus, point source of unmoving light.

Just so you don’t go trying to catch a ride for them on a UFO.

I doubt the old boy needs an anal probe . . .

nor you either, for that matter.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

for some of us who’ve studied such things for 45+ years . . .

there’s no

“theory” to it any more . . . as the ref’d quotes in my tagline attest . . . a sampling of which are below:

Given Kissenger, Soros, Z Brezenski’s assertions about the glorious Messiah OThuga’s carrying us vigorously forward into the wonderful global tyrannical satanic government (my paraphrase) . . . how can anyone call it a theory any longer.

And, if you think that FR folks are NOT interested in the globalist oligarchy’s shredding of our Constitution the last many decades, you are mistaken.

Now, how many FREEPERS HAVE AWAKENED ENOUGH TO REALIZE the above? I don’t know. A lot more than before OThuga, I’m sure of THAT!

“One August 1989 morning in Kennebunkport, Maine, Pres Bush (Sr) took his national security adviser, Brent Scowcroft, for a ride on the presidential speed boat, Fidelity. Four hours later, the president came ashore with a ringing slogan that Scowcroft had offered: “The New World Order” Ever since, the goal of a “new world order” has been the theme of Bush’s Foreign policy pronouncements.——LA Times

Feb 24, 1991

But this term has actually been used for generations by individuals seeking one-world socialist rule.

1915

Nov 27, Columbia University president Nicholas Murray Butler (on the executive committee of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace) delivered an address, “A New World Order is Being Born” to the Union League of Philadelphia in which he stated: “The old world order changed when this war storm broke—the old world order died with the setting of the day’s sun and a New World Order is being born while I speak.”

1919

A book entitled The New World Order by Samuel Zane Batten is published by the American Baptist Publication Society. In this book, Batten declares: “The old order passes from view, the new world rises upon our vision....We have vindicated the right of social control.....There must be developed a national spirit of service....Society must break the stranglehold of capitalism....The natural resources of the nation must be socialized....The state must socialize every group....Men must learn to have a world patriotism. World patriotism must be a faith....

1920

A book entitled The New World Order (International Organization, International Law, International Cooperation) by Frederick Charles Hicks Doubleday 1920. He is law librarian of Columbia University, and in this book he suggests that among the most powerful few of the Great Powers, the example must be set to “cooperate, here and there, piece by piece, in limiting the exercise of their sovereign rights.”

1927

The Christian Science Monitor (August 8) quoted from an address to the World Federation of Education Associations (WFEA) by Dr. Augustus Thomas (commissioner of education for Maine) at their Toronto congress: “If there are those who think we are to jump immediately into a new world order, actuated by complete understanding and brotherly love, they are doomed to disappointment.” He says the world must go through a long process of education

1928

A book entitled The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution by socialist H. G. Wells is published.
He declares that “..The political world of the Open Conspiracy must weaken, efface, incorporate and supersede existing governments....The Open Conspiracy is the natural inheritor of socialist and communist enthusiasms, it may be in control of Moscow before it is in control of New York....”

1931

Historian Arnold Toynbee delivers a speech to the Institute for the Study of International Affairs at Copenhagen in which he explains:

“We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands, because to impugn the sovereignty of the local nation states of the world is still a heresy for which a statesman or publicist can perhaps not quite be burned at the stake but certainly be ostracized or discredited.” —International Affairs (journal of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, i.e. the British version of the Council on Foreign Relations) Nov 1931, “The Trend of International Affairs Wince the War”

1940

A book entitled, The New World Order by H.G. Wells, in which Wells claims:
“It is the system of nationalist individualism that has to go....We are living in the end of the sovereign states....In the great struggle to evoke a Westernized World Socialism, contemporary governments may vanish....Countless people...will hate the new world order....and will die protesting against it.”

1948

July: The CFR’s Foreign Affairs publishes “A New World Takes Shape” by Sir Harold Butler in which he asks: “How far can the life of nations, which for centuries have thought of themselves as distinct and unique, be merged with the life of other nations?

1970 - Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era by Zbigniew Brzezinski is published. He is a CFR member who will become the first director of the Trilateral Commission and President Carter’s national security advisor. In this book he states: “Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man’s universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief.....Human beings become increasingly manipulable and malleable...

Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites....whose ties cut across national boundaries....The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty....Further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken.”

1972 - Pres Nixon’s speech giving in Peking from UPI 2-25-72.......”and the hope that each of us has to build a new world order.....”

1973 - August 10: The New York Times publishes “From a China Traveller” by David Rockefeller, who writes about Communist China: “One is impressed immediately by the sense of national harmony....There is a very real and pervasive dedication to chairman Mao and Maoist principles. Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community purpose. General social and economic progress is no less impressive....The enormous social advances of China have benefited greatly from the singleness of ideology and purpose....The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao’s leadership is one of the most important and successful in history.”

1990 - Mikhail Gorbachev quoted in Washington Post Feb 25 1990 “...A new world order is taking shape so fast that governments are well as private citizens find it difficult just to absorb the gallop of events.....”

President Bush (SR) quotes on new world order and United nations:

“Time and again in this century, the political map of the world was transformed. And in each instance, a new world order came about through the advent of a new tyrant or the outbreak of a bloody global war, or its end.” Feb 28, 1990-—this quote is six months before Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in August.

“Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective—a new world order—can emerge...... We are now in sight of a United Nations that performs as envisioned by its founders.” —Sep 11 1990

1992 - July 20 Time magazine published “The Birth of the Global Nation” by Strobe Talbott (Rhodes scholar roommate of Bill Clinton at Oxford University, CFR director, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace board of directors member, and Trilateralist from a wealthy Ohio investment banking family), in which he writes: All countries are basically social arrangements....No matter how permanent or even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary....Perhaps national sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all....But it has taken the events in our own wondrous and terrible century to clinch the case for world government.”

1992 - August 26: The New York Times publishes “The World Needs an Army on Call” by U.S. Senator David Boren (Rhodes Scholar 1963, CFR member, and member of “Skull and Bones”) in which he states: “In the aftermath of World War II, President Truman wanted to empower the United Nations to create a new world order....Richard Gardner proposes that forty to fifty member nations contribute to a rapid-deployment force of one hundred thousand volunteers that could train under common leadership....It is time for us to create such a force....The existence of such a force would go a long way toward making the “new world order” more than just a slogan.”

1993 - April 21: General Colin Powell receives the United Nations Association-USA’s Global Leadership Award, and he remarks: “The United Nations will spearhead our efforts to manage the new conflicts (that afflict our world)....Yes the principles of the United Nations Charter are worth our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”

1993 - July 18: CFR member and Trilateralist Henry Kissinger writes in The Los Angeles Times concerning NAFTA: “What Congress will have before it is not a conventional trade agreement but the architecture of a new international system....a first step toward a new world order.”

1994 - the McAlvany Intelligence Advisor March 19**95 quotes Vladimir Zhirinovsky on Nov 9 at a press conference at the U.N. said, “There has long been a hidden agenda to merge America and Russia under the New World Order.”

So, who’s side are you on, CodeToad?

I thought Art Bell claims to have a piece. I am neutral on subject.

CONTEXT is important to ferreting out truth.

In that era . . . the GOVERNMENT

was viewed as largely righteous and out after our best interests.

They were trusted and typically obeyed by the average citizen.

Given the heavy duty pressures brought quickly to bear . . . and Jesse’s training . . . it’s not surprising that they kept no pieces.

There is that.

However, they stink.

And that’s if one gets past all the anal probing, implant injecting, sperm and ova stealing, lying etc.

Anyway—glad your feet or sitter are still on terra sorta firma.

Be healthy and safe.

Thanks for the msg.

“for some of us who’ve studied”

“studied”? More like read other conspiracy theorists and bogus pictures. Study requires facts. Conspiracy theories are not fact. Stop picking your nose and go read a real book.

You got me to thinking. Do space aliens favor the elites, the self anointed, those who are intellectual because they told you so? You know the ones: the terrorist fellators, Code Pinkos, N.O.W. S.O.W.'s, and various other Unbathed?
