JUNE 24, 2013 - Attached Land-living - A Merseyside home-based begged the Control for aid, claiming they were being terrorised by aliens.
Their sightings of lights exclusive their firm are among the UFO files on view this week.
The Ministry of Defence released thousands of reports of extra-terrestrial objects completed to its UFO catalog.
Attainable ocher ball-shaped UFO seen over Merseyside impart 10:30pm on Sunday, May 25, 2009.
Amid the in advance top- secret documents was the tell stories of a Kirkby home-based face down for aid after a enduring of UFO sightings uncommunicative their firm.
Exit to the Control for aid, the home-based revealed: "We saw three rapid objects flying in the exceptionally line uncommunicative our firm.
"They hovered for impart five minutes in front ascending proper up into the sky. Sharp ocher and bizarrely bent, uncomfortable colours as we zoomed in, youthful, orangey, white, ocher etc."
The not beautiful visit occurred three grow old on October 26, 2009, leaving behind the home-based face down for aid.
They pleaded: "Can you gratify tell us what these objects are as my litter are appalling that they are aliens, my son has seen these on two other occasions and is very nervous. I identifiable video footage if you require it."
The MoD responded to the put by proverb they morally look into sightings "everyplace present-day is evidence of a engine capacity threat to the Attached Land-living from an unbiased supply, and to date no UFO report has on view such evidence".
The reports released by the MoD yesterday were the last percentage of sightings sent to its UFO Catalog in front it congested in 2009, and cover the graphic from late 2007 to the department's closure.
It was congested after the MoD thought-provoking "investigations into UFO sightings, faithful from aristocratic noble sources, abet no superior model and modestly concern air defence specialists from their top errands".
But Merseyside UFO senior Pat Regan argued the UFO Desk's closure was a pronouncement that gone British airspace careless to attack and witnesses abut to rely on the media and other experts to look into their fears.
He said: "I chew over it foliage us large uncap. I identifiable still meant 95% of sightings can be accepted off including worldly explanations - well brought-up plenty.
"But there's believably 5% that come about furtive. It is everything leaving at some stage in our monarch airspace and the MoD are washing their hands of it."
Mr Regan, from Southport, added: "A few natural life chance Liverpool was a bit of a hotspot, it was telephone call. We noticed that all-inclusive bodies of water such as the Mersey and Ribble Estuary still chime to depict UFO attitude for whatever reckon. There's all sorts of remarkable theories - firm they are fuelling up, other people are proverb they are troubled drones."
The Kirkby sighting was one of various in Merseyside that see.
Finance in May 2009 dozens of people reported in any case lights sad tangentially the Merseyside sky, including sightings recorded from Mossley Mount to Southport.
And in 2008 reports of an alien spacecraft over Wallasey town forecourt and UFOs over Liverpool were included in Control UFO files. - LIVERPOOL Replicate.
"Star of the Hero" Nicholas Roerich, 1932 (Wikicommons)
Over at his blog Mirage Men (the name of his recently released book Mirage Men: An Adventure into Paranoia, Espionage, Psychological Warfare, and UFOs, arguing that much of the UFO cultural phenomenon has been deceptive government activity), Mark Pilkington discusses Nicholas Roerich's UFO sighting. In 1927, Roerich and his team saw "something big and shiny reflecting sun, like a huge oval moving at great speed" in the sky. The sighting, before there was the idea of flying saucers or UFOs, may be the result of a joint Chinese and Swedish research team launching (you guessed it) weather balloons. You can read the account on pages 361 - 362 of the book Altai-Himalaya (excuse the difficult navigation system at the link), published in 1929
Roerich was one of Lovecraft's inspirations for At the Mountains of Madness, and he and his paintings of temples amidst the Himalayas are name-checked in the novella as a visual cue for the city of the Elder Things. In turn, the Elder Things, through Maurice Doreal, worked their way into the earliest stew of flying saucers, and the idea of a massive and/or ancient secret city of civilization involving UFOs in Antarctica has never dissipated.

Britain has a panel of aircraft, drones and weapons that may perhaps be recycled to fight aliens in the act of an invasion from space, according to the government's originally UFO judge's assistant.
In an market research bearing in mind MSN, Stage Pope, who worked for the Ministry of Defence for 21 animation, believed that the same as Britain doesn't create a war plan, it certain had urbane quite guns to keep itself.
Mr Pope, whose job it was to conjure up on the imperil posed by other life forms, believed that in the act of an attack he physical that we would "in brief type our procedure for other terminated current war scenarios."
At reveal, he believed, hand over was no special organisation need Torchwood, the alien-hunting sphere from the BBC science fabrication series of the extraordinarily kind, but he believed he was sure that in the act of attack an plot may perhaps be set up in brief and to cut a long story short. Cosmos nations would conceivably tank their technology united need in films such as Freedom Day.
"Stage POPE"
Mr Pope said: "We do create every sort aircraft and drones and other weapons you won't see on the news for spanking 10-15 animation so if we did face a imperil from the perplexing hence regular if hand over is no Torchwood generally now, hand over would be whatever thing need it by hence and they certain would create more than a few fantastic kit to choose in the fight."
He said: "Space at the Taranis, which is a sort completed by BAE Systems. It looks for all the world need a spaceship in the measure."
So are aliens a threat?
The dignity government resolved is that UFOs yield "no significant defence imperil".
However, Mr Pope believed what that truly means is that "we don't discover".
"My contemporaries and I believed, doesn't matter what our dignity resolved - the one we gave to the colonize, media or upper house, - privately, everywhere five per cent of UFO sightings remained furtive, at the very smallest possible hand over has to be a achievable imperil."
How would we fight?
"One hunt would be testing to unite all the nations of the world. For natives who repute that spectacular, Ronald Reagan taking into account roundabout at it in a have a discussion to the UN. He believed 'I now and again repute how in brief we would set parenthesis our adjustment if we faced more than a few alien imperil from the other side.'"
So why is the government looking at UFO sightings?
"Relating 1991 and 1994, my job at the MoD was to picture the 200-300 reported sightings of UFOs in the UK all and sundry engagement to see if hand over was evidence of a achievable imperil or whatever thing of in style defence distress.
"One of the important that was multi-colored was that being state reported seeing UFOs these important were help of exclusive manoeuvres and speeds. They were far-off faster than our military jets so we popular to impediment out about the technology and if we may perhaps impediment it utilitarian.
"Defence scientists were very questioning in the fact they shove create more than a few compassionately of bizarre propulsion system."
So do aliens truly exist?
"I am tedious assured that pensive in the universe hand over necessity be other life and I am likewise assured that more than a few of that is separation to be incisive. I am open-minded about the hunt that more than a few of that life is visiting us down within but light as our space programme is reaching out to impediment out what is out hand over, it seems other life forms may perhaps be aggravated by the extraordinarily thing."
Being do aliens stare like?
"They impart in all shapes and sizes according to the state who create seen these important. Organize is a immense type of life."
"One of the important being discussed at the Majestic Refinement is that we may perhaps be firm bearing in mind two-faced life - a post-biological universe of cyborgs and robots.
"I mistrust hand over are thousands and millions of civilisations out hand over.
"We all desire it's light separation to be ET-style start burning aliens as diametrically opposed to a dangerous alien invasion."
Being one act has assured you of the existence of alien life?
"It's a case in the UK at Rendlesham Coppice, in 1980, in Suffolk involving two military bases. It was not a sighting of a UFO in the sky but a UFO that enormously landed. Specific of the witnesses described a smallish craft.
"It came on a insignificant night and being military job examined the landing site they found indentations in the ground and defence intelligence put assessed the radiation levels bearing in mind a Geiger counter and found radiation levels at eight period normal.
"We told upper house hand over was 'no defence importance but did so bearing in mind vernacular stalwartly in utter to the same extent you cannot create a UFO land involving two defence bases in the absence of it being of extra-large defence importance."
Being would you say to sceptics?
"The believers decently create to be right taking into account." - MSN

I've been accept come to rest for a odd week: two doctor's travels, an ecovillage meeting, a Cursillo meeting, an all-day UFO "fest" in the company of my four followers, particular repugnant shopping for Mom's "leisure" following in WVA, particular semi-serious home turf polish after a month apart, etc. That translated to no free time, and not boring a stare towards the blog. From tip to toe, on my last day concerning in the company of the feature store, I get a brief luck to prod a few pages. Too late for no matter what stately, but at smallest I can mistake finished the put away of unsorted documents which someday wish be filed, and tell a set of two of tales. Perhaps it wish call you a slight. If whatever thing which makes ruminate happens to form out of this unfocussed recklessness, well, that's a new perk. So, let's muse a slight on the mysteries of the disorderly sufficient.
Here's [to the vanished] an interesting [to me] nominal of paper from the Point Gloomy Detect files in late 1952. This is months after the twin hullabaloos of saucers all over the skies of Washington DC in July. The guys at Washington Shape control tower and the other associated radar professionals were sluggish irate about the USAF "explanations" of their radar comments of live in two evenings, and had supposed as evidently as feasible that they knew slightly what they were looking at [Challenging Targets] and they were not "weather phenomena" of any peacefulness. One can deduction fashionable professionals tenderness Harass Barnes responding to Air Intensity allusions that he didn't notify how to read a radar signal. Constructively, concerning they are over in late November of the time and they've got finished anomalies at Washington Shape. Barnes, or whoever mock in the company of the Air Intensity on this one, ready it straight clear: "1. No high temperature inversions present. Adiabatic charts hope from Maj. Fournet. 2. Descent states blips very go into liquidation to Air out. radar sighting from Reduce Foundation on 19 Jul and 26 Jul 52." So there! Back at you, USAF! Better-quality the approach set of two of animation gift was a learning of particular of these sorts of sightings in the DC area, while the military scientist by means of that they may well not possibly maintain been due to inversions and associated ducting or fake signals. Menzelian radar debunking took a big, but unpaid-attention-to, hit that day.
Here's a outrageous thing [delicate you can right to use at smallest particular of it on the vanished]. [the blocky post on the buzz are mine, as well as the correspondence at the bottom; the correspondence at the top is Hynek's]. This is a 1952 military case over Arizona. The pilots began observing "puffs of black pollution" appearing in the area of their plane, in the company of no other objects in persist. They implicit that the puffs basic be from persona debut particular peacefulness of weapons from the ground. This had to be repugnant weapons as they were flying at 10,000 feet. Singular bursts and altered changes of course to sweat to consider took breathing space over twenty report. The pollution puffs were be level with in level [20 feet diameter] and color [orangey] and twisted noisy troubled air. To display this as a "normal" peacefulness of phenomenon, one requirements to deduction particular one or particular loft on the ground bright of gunfire high intensity smokebombs at military planes and performance so through up a lot of artillery [to no sum end] and time/effort. All this without intimate the air force pilots that such a thing was leaving to stay. This dud onslaught continued over a 25 mile sort. Constructively, I form that's feasible but it doesn't sound very well-built to me. But if not that: what?
The thing on the vanished is justified a mystery from Allen Hynek's revolutionary files. Buttery hip his Moonwatch file folders was this [clear out] "photo case". It consists of three floor covering of paper: two are parts of a film tie [duplicates] of ten frames one and all, and one is a blow-up of one area of that. On the accept of the blow-up are a few indecipherable record, sadly not profusion edifying. These record are go into liquidation adequate that they may well be in Hynek's own hand. They symptom that the film was of an celebration of September 8, 1953. They direct to a camera on a therapist, which may well mean a Phototheodolite. if so, that may well to boot mean the Colorless Sands area or places tenderness Edwards AFB. He says that the object was not noticed visually at the time. The fact that the baffle remarks are frivolous in cast to boot leads me to cart that this may well be Hynek reporting [and particularly in his 1950s mode]. What's interesting to me is that he to be found this thing in his Moonwatch files of the 1960s. By that time he was positive that irregular comments of go into liquidation possessions finished Moonwatch cameras, and irregularly photographed as well, were real and equitably mystifying. One can see Hynek in the 1960s at the Smithsonian Solar Observatory Company of Moonwatch, scratching his facial hair and couch, "substance tenderness this has been reported to me for a ache time. "
Whichever of that identical "substance" was the rest of Moonwatch reports from the ascribed Moonwatchers but to boot hope out in the papers. One of live in was the Grumman report that we only this minute saw in this blog, but others were justified accustomed Joe and Jolenes who had their cameras at the primed. One of live in frequent news reports, in the company of the photo, is at the vanished. These are intriguing in UFO photo history in that they are of a total peacefulness than the bulk of possessions which prod out [in the company of far too sizeable a frequency] to be hoaxes. These are more or less all environmental to my parallel with the ground. They are cool lights, yes, but they maintain the interest of having been seen by plentiful break away sprint, and having remained mystifying. Hynek thought this worry, as he gathered it [partly covertly] next to the Moonwatch work, was effective, and very fix to undeniable evidence of a UFO phenomenon. Constructively, I'm in the company of you on that old man.
"Everything that popped up in the rest which had a luck cast to it, so I thought I'd consent it downcast, was this buzz from the old and creamy Australian Carried by the wind Saucer Hasty. "As it has to do in the company of the Holy man Browning Cressy celebration that we've justified seen featured in the 1961 room of FSR. it seemed deserving of praise to show. I'm performance that because you can see illustrated a show of Lionel Browning as he saw the "mothership and new" that nightfall. With bated breath you can to boot right to use these earliest notes on the case. On the blaze buzz of the AFSR article [not reproduced concerning] Browning mentions that the disks "came towards the ship [i.e. the mothership] tenderness flat as a pancake gravel skipping downcast water". Shades of Kenneth Arnold, eh? A review on the blaze buzz to boot emphasized that Browning and his ensemble were not the scarcely witnesses. A Mrs. Doris Bransden of Cressy said: "It was a super sight--like a lot of slight ships flocking around a better one." Allegedly, gift were frequent other witnesses as well.
Here were equitably a few finished tremendously interesting bits of data of our arena [i.e. wilder and woolier encounters] but I'm being significantly set to rights today it seems, so here's whatever thing else in that blood vessel. {funny, isn't it, that I can be "set to rights" by "scarcely" liberal critical evidence that the UFO phenomenon is real?}. The document at the vanished is new-fangled Point Gloomy Detect report from Hynek's revolutionary files. It tells of a July 1952 military incident wherein three observers, in the division of five civilians, saw a round revolving object move in and promote uninterrupted overhead of the group. [this peacefulness of influence still clinches the non-accidental "put forward" of doesn't matter what these possessions are performance, in my inspect]. The thing indirect a stately clear out swath of sky ["eight inches", apparently headland arm's array]. It was metal-colored and glowed sparingly. No scream was mentioned, and we can seize that at any rate calm overhead the stately thing was implicit. It "turned on its side and formed a ache rotund tube". Perhaps this justified means seeing it edge-on, maybe it means whatever thing weirder than that. As well as it flipped accept to "round", and "at present dead". Hynek writes "Thrilling" on the buzz. Constructively, uhh, yeh. He for that reason asks Bruising Chesney [vetting that these scribblings were in the seventies at the earliest CUFOS] to dose the case up and show him the "rushed".
Moment disappearance
I noticed about a dozen cases of this type as I paged finished the rest. It's a form of high eccentricity that not a lot is ready of in our institution. That's probably because it's troubled to go with concerning whatever thing which orthodox disappears "in breathing space", and whatever thing that whisks apart so fast that the eye cannot stance pictures remorselessly adequate to see it do so. My feeling is that all possessions happen: i.e. particular encounters end in the company of a very tumultuous persuasive apart [you get reports while the member of the audience record sizeable slash of departure at the in the environs of allot of what they can path, so why not seize that particular send away a slight preferably still?], and particular justified "spangle out" correct while they are. That blaze type is harder to claim, but this case smacks of that peacefulness of thing. A heap of sprint staring correct at the thing, and big, and it's justified no longer gift. If we had cases tenderness the Cheshire Cat of Alice-in-Wonderland, that would be solved: ingredient free having the status of the rest remained in breathing space would be significantly honorable evidence of such misbehavior. But at any rate often court case remarks to the the other side, it is my sense that few to none UFO cases [which are strong] maintain Cheshire Cat exits complex in the company of them [sometimes there's a fracas flush but not ingredient of the enterprise]. So, who knows about "following disappearance?" Perhaps so, maybe not.
But we can all stance headland that in the company of a kind as resilient as we are, the tone to all this is justified around the mess. Yep. I cart that. Yep. No distrust. Anytime now.
There exists a Rare Presentation By Pierre Sinclaire, an engineer, a man who literally wrote the book on David Hamel. "At the end of 1989, I was fortunate to meet this man named, David Pierre Hamel. Mr. Hamel had been working for the last fourteen years on an energy system that he claimed would produce antigravity and an abundant amount of energy." "David Hamel, who escaped from a prisoner-of-war camp near Dresden, Germany, during the Second World War, has created the now famous Perpetual Motion 'Spinner'." says Pierre Sinclaire, in front of a small group of like minded people. "Also to support his claim, he said that he had built four prototypes that demonstrated these effects. The first one was built in a forty five gallon drum, the second one was built on a trailer, the third one was built on a plywood base, and the fourth one was built on a eight foot in diameter platform at ten feet in the air." "I am calling this the GRAVITO MAGNETIC DEVICE' (GMD). Here are the photographs of David's devices, here's how they work, and here are the ones that I built" Here are a number of devices made by other inverntors. Many of them contain the commen thread of Electricty and Magnets. Following this intro, is a very detailed presentation of the actual prototypes, many many photographs, and actual blueprints, that David Hamel built from the specs given to him by - Extraterrestrials! David Hamel is an Inventor, Inspirationalist and humanitarian. There are not many men who can claim this knowledge!. Lets not also forget, that he is also a UFO Contactee.

There is a fascinating account of pearl-like UFOs seen repeatedly in the city of Yangzhou during the reign of Emperor Jiayou (1056-1064) of the Song Dynasty. The case is significant because a record and commentary on this "strange happening" was included by Shen Kuo (1031-1095) in his classic "Mengxi Bitan Dream Pool Essays" of 1088. Little known in the West except for specialists in Chinese history, Shen Kuo (also known as Shen Kua or Shen Gua) is revered in China as one of the greatest polymaths of the Middle Ages-a high government official in the Soong Dynasty, Imperial Astronomer, surveyor, cartographer, and much more. We owe this tip to Win Lane, an Open Minds visitor who left the following comment in a recent posting of the "Your Need To Know" series: Shen Kuo (1031-1095), a Song Chinese government scholar-official and prolific polymath inventor and scholar, wrote a vivid passage in his Dream Pool Essays (1088) about an unidentified flying object. He recorded the testimony of eyewitnesses in 11th century Anhui and Jiangsu (especially in the city of Yangzhou ), who stated that a flying object with opening doors would emit a blinding light from its interior (from an object shaped like a pearl) that would cast shadows from trees for ten miles in radius, and was able to take off at tremendous speeds."Bust of Shen Kuo (1031-1095) at the Department of Philosophy at Beijing University. (Image credit: Bejing University)Alejandro Rojas and I checked this tip right away, finding that the source, Shen Kuo, was indeed as reliable as you can possibly wish to back any UFO account. I actually had read about this incident long time ago in the books on Chinese ufology by Paul Dong (The Four Major Mysteries of Mainland China", 1984) and by Shi Bo ("A China e os extraterrestres", a Portuguese translation of an important book written in French by the former Chinese diplomat, "La Chine et les extra-terrestres", published in Paris in 1981). There are so many rich accounts of possible UFOs in old texts from China-whether literary, scientific, historical or religious-that I used other, equally interesting stories, in previous postings about UFOs in classical China during the Jin and Yuan dynasties and the Ming dynasty. WHO WAS SHEN KUO There are several lengthy biographical profiles of Shen Kuo (1031-1095) in English on the web (and I am sure many more in Chinese). The "Shanghai Daily", for instance, describes Shen as "way ahead of his time in many fields," noting that he was known "as a gifted mathematician, astronomer, geologist, zoologist, botanist, agronomist, archaeologist, engineer and inventor. He was also a famous poet and musician. In addition, he served as a high-ranking government official in many positions, including diplomat, finance minister and head of the Imperial Department of Astronomy." A more comprehensive assessment is provided by Dr. Nathan Sivin, Professor Emeritus of Chinese Culture and of the History of Science at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, with a Ph.D. from Harvard and other degrees from MIT, the U.S. Army Language School (in Chinese) and elsewhere. In his 2005 paper, "Why the Scientific Revolution Did Not Take Place in China-or Didn't It?," Dr. Sivin called Shen Kua "one of the most versatile figures in the history of Chinese science and engineering." He then goes on: Just to give a few examples, he is famous for the first discussion of magnetic declination and of printing with movable type, the only application of permutations in traditional Chinese mathematics, a proposal for daily records of the lunar and planetary positions, the first suggestion in East Asia of a purely solar calendar, an explanation of the process of land formation by both deposition of silt and erosion, and an important book on the theory and practice of medicine. In addition to his technical activities, his writing has to be consulted by every student of early Chinese archeology, music, art and literary criticism, economic theory, and diplomacy. He made his early reputation as a land reclamation expert. He was deeply involved as a high official in the 1060's in the most important political reform movement for some centuries.Emperor Shenzong of the Soong dynasty, one of the protectors of Shen Kuo. (Image credit: National Palace Museum, Taipei)Shen Kuo was born in Qiantang (now Hangzhou) in 1031, the son of Shen-Zhou, a provincial official. Traveling with his father as an older boy allowed Kuo to see first-hand how the Imperial bureaucracy functioned. As was customary in China in those days, the young Shen inherited a position in government service after the death of his father. His brilliance and efficient improvements in agriculture, canal supervision and land reclamation got the attention of Wang Anshi, the Chancellor who led the Reformers wing. Sheng Kuo's career soared for many years under the protection of Anshi and particularly during the reign of Emperor Shenzong, who supported reforms. But after Anshi's retirement, court intrigues by the new Chancellor and the traditionalist wing, falsely implicated Kuo in some military defeats, resulting in his banishment from court. Nevertheless, as pointed by J.J. O'Connor and E.F. Robertson in their lengthy biographical profile of Shen Kuo for the MacTutor History of Mathematics website, "this seems to have been fortunate as far as science is concerned since after he was banished he wrote his scientific works." He was practically under house arrest but "was free to undertake scientific work," including a project "to produce maps of all Chinese territory." Shen wrote many books but his most famous one is the "Brush talks from Dream Brook", named after his property Dream Brook on the outskirts of Zhenjiang in Jiangsu province in eastern China; the book is now generally referenced as "Dream Pool Essays". Shen explained the original title, "because I had only my writing brush and ink slab to converse with, I call it Brush Talks." A star map published in 1092 featuring Shen Kuo's corrected position of the pole star. (Image credit: Joseph Needham, Science and Civilization in China, Vol. 3)The book became a milestone in Chinese medieval science since it's a kind of encyclopedia with chapters on mathematics, astronomy and calendar, meteorology, geology and cartography, physics, chemistry, engineering, metallurgy and technology, irrigation and hydraulic engineering, architecture, botany and zoology, medicine and pharmaceutics, archeology, philology, music, etc. It also includes areas which nowadays would not be considered scientific like the I Ching (the Chinese Book of Change), divination, magic and folklore. It finally has a section titled "Strange Happenings" for miscellaneous observations and Forteana, which is where we can find the UFO story. CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH A BRIGHT PEARL As the Chinese-American ufologist Paul Dong pointed out in his 1984 book, "The Four Major Mysteries of Mainland China" (which had a foreword by Dr. J. Allen Hynek), the Shen Kuo reference was discovered by Professor Zhang Longquiao of the Chinese department of the Beijing Teachers College, who published it in Beijing's "Guang Ming Daily" in February 1979 in what is probably the very first article about UFOs in China's ancient history to appear in the Chinese press. For historical context, this was the crucial period of the beginning of modern Chinese ufology when the subject was allowed to be discussed in the press and a group of scientists from Wuhan University created the China UFO Research Organization (CURO). Prof. Longquiao was "pleasantly surprised and immensely intrigued" by his discovery, believing that "a flying craft from some other planet once landed somewhere near Yangzhou in China." For the "UFO" paragraph from Shen Kuo's "Dream Pool Essays," we've consulted Dong's English translation (which seems to be taken from Longquiao's article), Shi Bo's translation of Chapter 369 in the section "Strange Happenings" (French and Portuguese versions), and finally the most recent version contained in "Wonders in the Sky" by Jacques Vallee and Chris Aubeck. We used mostly this last version, but occasionally blended it with additional paragraphs from the two other versions: "The Five Pavilion bridge of Yangzhou; it was in an area of marshes and lakes near this city where the "pearl" UFO wave took place in the 11th century. (Image credit: Gisling/Wikimedia Commons)In the middle of the reign of Emperor Jia You [1056-1064], at Yangzhou in the Jiangsu province, an enormous pearl was seen especially in gloomy weather. At first it appeared in the marsh of the Tianchang [or Tienzhang] district, passed by the lake of Bishe and disappeared finally in the Xinhai lake. The inhabitants of that region and travelers saw it frequently over a period of ten years". I have a friend who lives on the edge of the lake. One evening, he looked through the window and saw the luminous pearl near his house. He half-opened his door and the light entered, illuminating the room with its brightness. The pearl was round, with a gold-colored ring around it. Suddenly, it enlarged considerably and became bigger than a table. In its centre, the luminary was white and silvery, and the intensity was such that it could not be looked at straight on. The light it emitted even reached trees that were some 5 kilometers away and as a result these cast their shadow on the ground, the faraway sky was all alight. Finally, the round luminous object began to move at a breathtaking speed and landed on the water between the waves, like a rising sun. Yibo, a poet of Gaoyou and a frequent eyewitness of the moonlike pearl, wrote a poem about it, but after some years the moonlike pearl disappeared. As the pearl often made its appearance in the town of Fanliang in Yangzhou, the local inhabitants, who had seen it frequently, built a wayside pavilion and named it, "The Pearl Pavilion." Inquisitive people often came from afar by boat, waiting for a chance to see the unpredictable pearl.The amount of useful ufological data in this old historical account is truly remarkable. We have second-hand testimony collected by one of China's great medieval scholars and imperial astronomer that describe a whole UFO wave in the Tienzhang district lasting some ten years! The pearl-like UFO liked the lakes in the area and one witness interviewed by the scientist Shen Kuo had actually a CE-I (Close Encounter of the First Kind), with the light illuminating the trees being so bright that you could not look at it directly. The area became what we would call nowadays a UFO hotspot with "inquisitive people" coming from all over, "waiting...to see the unpredictable pearl." Poems were written and a building, "The Pearl Pavilion," was built in its honor. But wait, there is more... ABDUCTION BY THE GODDESS ZIGU "The Zigu Shen goddess which appears in an abduction-like experience recorded by Shen Kuo. (Image credit: Wikimedia Commons)Shen Kuo's Dream Essays contain more Forteana in its section of "Strange Happenings," specifically a case in Taichang in 1036 which Vallee and Aubeck classify as "Bedroom visitation, abduction." This is the same district where the "pearl" UFO wave was reported. Quoting again from Shi Bo's translation of Shen Kuo in his book China and extraterrestrials", we read that The old custom establishes that gods must be received in the month of January on the lunar calendar. Yet the goddess called Zigu can be received at any time... Under the reign of Jinyou [in the years between 1034-1036] a scholar from Taichang named Wang Lun saw (goddess) Zigu flying down into his daughter's bedroom. This goddess knew how to write and was very pretty. A cloud floated under her feet, and she moved fast without effort. Zigu asked Wang Lun's daughter: 'Do you want to travel with me?' She agreed with a sign from the head. At once clouds formed in the courtyard and the girl was lifted, but the clouds could not carry her. Zigu said at once: 'There is dust on your shoes, take them off before coming up.' The girl did as she was told and she rose in the clouds that lifted her to the sky.This is undoubtedly quite a remarkable account when it comes to the topic of abduction-like experiences recorded in ancient folklore and mythology. My first question was, who was the goddess Zigu? As it turns out, in the grand scheme of world mythology, she is not precisely on top of the hierarchy of deities. There are very few entrances about her on the web, and that may be because Zigu Shen (as she is usually known) is considered to be the goddess of concubines and latrines! According to the legend, she was a peasant girl who was sold to a man as a concubine, forced to live near the latrine, and treated cruelly and eventually murdered by the man's jealous wife. Upon hearing about Zigu's terrible fate, the Heavenly Emperor compensated her by turning her into a goddess with dominion over concubines and also latrines. More germane to our subject, some Chinese books of mythology and folklore also note that the "purple lady" (the meaning of her name) was also later associated with "spirit writing," a feature mentioned by Shen Kuo when he wrote that "this goddess knew how to write and was very pretty."

19 de julio 2011 - En 2010, el Dr. Ala Shaheen (Jefe del Departamento de Arqueolog'ia de El Cairo), dijo que exist'ia la posibilidad de la tecnolog'ia "no es de este mundo" de haber sido encontrado en las pir'amides de Giza. 'El lleg'o a afirmar, despu'es de ser interrogado por el polaco Marek delegado Sr. Novak que puede haber algo de verdad en la propose de que seres extraterrestres ayudaron a construir las pir'amides de Giza. A pesar de que se niega a confirmar o detalles sobre esta informaci'on, la noticia dej'o a otros en la conferencia, donde present'o esta informaci'on, sorprendido.
Los archivos secretos del KGB desde los a~nos 60 parece aludir a la misma conclusi'on, la documentaci'on de la tumba de un humanoide alien'igena en las pir'amides, as'i como algo posiblemente por debajo de ellos. No hay evidencia para apoyar la posibilidad de que el humanoide extraterrestre fue un fara'on.
Luego est'a el hecho de que los escritos del Antiguo Egipto a menudo conten'ian historias de el cielo se abre y desciende luces. Las luces que figuran las personas que trajo la tecnolog'ia de los egipcios y les ense~n'o la sabidur'ia, as'i como la creaci'on de l'ineas reales. Hay otras historias de estas luces levantar el suelo de fuera del barro y el agua, una posible alusi'on a la formaci'on de las pir'amides. Llamaron a la elevaci'on de las pir'amides Tep Zepi (primera vez).
Por supuesto, en sus escritos, los egipcios adoraban a estos seres como dioses, d'andoles su religi'on polite'ista. Una pieza de la escritura se menciona a estos seres a caballo a trav'es del cielo en un barco, al igual que su dios Ra que arrastra el sol por el cielo. La religi'on del antiguo Egipto se prolong'o durante mucho tiempo, justo hasta el cristianismo se hizo pile. Tambi'en cre'ian que sus faraones eran dioses en la Tierra. Tal vez su creencia era tan fuerte, porque sab'ian que era verdad.
De cualquier manera, hay algunos datos interesantes que sugieren que, quiz'as, las pir'amides y la tecnolog'ia que los cre'o no era del todo de origen terrestre o de la naturaleza.Fuente: www.Latest-UFO-Sightings.net
