www.examiner.net/lifestyle/storytellers/x1458589353/Offutt-Woman-believes-she-found-Europe-s-Area-51 Woman believes she found Europe’s Area 51By Jason Offutt Special to The Examiner Posted Jan 04, 2011 @ 08:42 PM Maryville, MO — The light sank into the forest near Farnborough, Hampshire, UK, as Hilary Porter and her family drove home. “In 1977 July, whilst traveling through a military wooded area, still open to the public at that time, we were convinced that something had downed at the edge of the woods,” Porter said. As they neared the area where the light would have landed, the military was already there. “We were met with many blacked-windowed Army buses, accompanied by loads of soldiers in combat gear with rifles, all spreading out over the land,” she said. “We had no choice but to turn back and get out of there.” As they turned to retrace their steps away from the armed soldiers, Hilary and her husband noticed a large, round burn mark on the ground. After a short drive they realized their encounter wasn’t over. “After going back down the road for about quarter of a mile suddenly we saw two very thin humanoid beings about six feet or so tall, dressed in all white with helmets, looking on at the soldiers,” she said. “The beings suddenly ran down into a clearing, which both my former husband and I saw, and then they dematerialized right in front of us.” Hilary turned to her husband. “Get the *heck* out of here,” she shouted. As they drove home, shaken, they discussed what they’d seen and were sure they’d been witness to extraterrestrials and a UFO crash retrieval. “The big round burn mark in the ground was the giveaway to what was going on,” she said. “This area alone has had more than its fare share of UFO sightings.” In 1977, Farnborough was the home of the Royal Aircraft Establishment and Hilary is convinced was also the site where the military took the craft she and her husband saw downed in the woods. Hilary also thinks something followed them home. “Within a few weeks, my family and I suffered much poltergeist activity,” Hilary said. Activity such as the sound of buckets full of stones poured down their roof late at night, appliances turning on and off, cups exploding, and the sound of dirt clods thrown against their windows. “And yet next day there was nothing on the ground,” she said. Then they saw the light again. “In early September, a smoky gray/blue craft was hovering in the sky,” Hilary said. “From my house, which is up on a hill overlooking this site, I could see what was happening clearly and watched this with a telescope.” After observing the craft for 45 minutes, she asked her husband to look through the telescope. “Suddenly the craft changed color to blood-red and twice it’s initial size, then it suddenly zoomed over into marshland, which is still part of the ground of the Farnborough Airfield,” she said. “My husband took the telescope and dashed over to the airfield, two hours later the craft was still there, I had been watching it with binoculars.” Her husband returned after those two hours, and had seen the craft close up. “The craft was at least 20 feet across, self-lit and glowing red,” Hilary said. “It was either on the ground or hovering just above it; there seemed to be zero activity on the ground. No one got out or entered the area of the landing.” Hilary is convinced the craft she saw go down in the woods was at the airfield, home of the British government’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch, and the glowing red craft was searching for it. “This place is on a par with your Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in its own way, and possibly Europe’s answer to Area 51,” she said. “All downed craft, be they planes or UFOs, come to this above place for re-assembling, as this is the British crash retrieval site.” Got a scary story?

(credit: Irishcentral.com) An Irish astronomer claims to have successfully tracked UFOs as they fly around the earth. Eamonn Ansbro has researched UFOs for the past 20 years. And not only has he seen UFOs, but through his observations, Ansbro has concluded that they follow defined flight paths around the earth. He has a camera array consisting of eleven different cameras set up in his hometown of Boyle that have enabled him to conduct his research. This array monitors the entire sky all day and all night, recording anything that moves. The compilation of data from these cameras is what led Ansbro to his conclusion that UFOs are circling earth.

The U.K. made public 34 previously-classified files, totaling about 9,000 pages of documents covering the years 1985 to 2007. For three of those years, 1991 to 1994, Nick Pope was in charge of the official MoD office. "What's abundantly clear from these files is that, while in public we were desperately pushing the line that this was of no defense interest," Pope told The Huffington Post. "We couldn't say 'There's something in our air space; pilots see them; they're tracked on radar; sometimes we scramble jets to chase these things, but we can't catch them.' This would be an admission that we'd lost control of our own air space, and such a position would be untenable." Published on Aug 11, 2011 by itnnews The Ministry of Defence was prevented from undertaking a full investigation into UFOs because of a lack of resources. "Every time we got a report from a pilot, we were checking the radar tapes. So it was an interesting sleight of hand. We were telling the public we're not interested, this is all nonsense, but in reality, we were desperately chasing our tails and following this up in great detail," he added. One file reveals how officials were afraid to be embarrassed if the public learned that UFO research was hindered by a lack of funds and higher priorities.

www.ross-shirejournal.co.uk/News/Shock-in-the-sky-for-youngsters-7325023.htmShock in the sky for youngstersPublished: 28/10/2011 11:00 - Updated: 28/10/2011 16:02 A CLOSE encounter over the skies of a Ross-shire town has been captured on paper by a local youngster who was quick on the draw after the strange incident. The UFO was spotted by three youngsters near Bridgend Court, in Dingwall around 7.30pm on Wednesday, October 12. Cody MacKenzie, a P5 pupil at Dingwall Primary School, was so sure about what he saw that night he produced a detailed coloured sketch to show his parents what the UFO looked like. Cody and Keelin . . . stunning sight. Picture: Uisdean Menzies He told the Ross-shire Journal, "We were sitting down on the kerb when we heard this loud humming noise. We looked up and saw the UFO just above the trees. I thought it was a UFO right away. It was shaped like one and had coloured lights turning round and round underneath it. We didn't see anyone in it but the lower part of it was a silver colour - you could tell that because the lights were reflecting on it." Cody, who was with his brother Keelin (7) and another friend, added, "We also saw a black helicopter in the sky at the same time and heard the noise of another UFO nearby but never saw it. We thought we should go home in case the UFO came down and landed beside us. It was pretty frightening. On the way home we saw it move off in the Muir of Ord and Inverness direction. It was quite big in size but it wasn't going very fast." Cody's dad, Ian, a nightshift worker at Nigg, said, "I got a phone call from Cody telling me he has seen strange lights in the sky. I saw the picture Cody drew the next morning when I got home - it's not the sort of thing a young boy would bother drawing unless he had seen something." He added, "I don't know if there was a military exercise happening that night, but there must have been something going on." A Northern Constabulary spokesman in Dingwall said police had received no reports of unexplained activity at that time. lCan you shed any light on the mystery? Contact us editor@rsjournal.co.uk

The UFO Research Association of Ireland revealed that 59 incidents were reported in 2011, compared with 42 the year before and just 35 in 2009. Association founder Adam Tallon suggested people are becoming more open to the possibility of UFOs and therefore feel more comfortable reporting a sighting to its website. Advertisement >> "I would like to believe that there is life out in the universe somewhere, whether it's walking or talking beings or microscopic bacteria I don't know," said Mr Tallon. The association has been able to attribute most sightings to ball lighting and Chinese lanterns but its main interests lie in UFOs that cannot be explained by conventional means. According to its website, these include incidents where the objects seem to be intelligently controlled or have been seen carrying out precise manoeuvres that are impossible for any known air or space crafts. "As a young child I saw something strange in the night sky," said Mr Tallon. "But as I was young it's very possible that the incident was embellished over the years and was nothing more then a meteor or some other natural phenomena." Mr Tallon founded the group in 2005 but it officially became the UFO Research Association of Ireland in 2008 when it adopted its current system to track reported incidents. "There is a slow but gradual increase in incidents being reported which I would attribute to two things," Mr Tallon went on.

I know something about analyzing such photos, much of which was taught to me by an old friend named Marc D' Antonio. Mufon touts him (correctly) as their expert UFO photo analyst. He has appeared even in National Geographic documentaries now. What Mufon will never admit (but Marc freely shares) is Mufon would never even have heard of Marc D' Antonio till I introduced him to Mufon myself in 2007-08! I like to think of Marc as their 'Connecticut Yankee in Mufoon's King Arthur's court.' ;D (I laughed when Stiver in that 'other forum' touts Marc National Geographic video as an example of good UFO investigations - which is true - but this from a forum that has historically consistently is so down and attacks all alleged 'abdcutees', when Marc himself (who has taught Astronomy at local colleges) publicly admits he strongly suspects he is an abductee too! He shared about it over dinner at my home. And has since discussed it publicly elsewhere on radio and in talks. That other forum ....they long ago started to believe their own 'bunk'. ;D )Based on what Marc and my experience has taught .... It could be a Chinese Lantern, but such a wind necessary to move such a lantern (object more mid-ground in depth of field) would need to be a wind velocity of a hurricane. So a Chinese lantern (would have to be more nearby) is eliminated. There would have been news of such a strong wind first. The most important clue is simply the video's time stamp. Half hour after midnight - New Years, being a metropolitan setting (Dublin, Ireland - heavy drinking), it seems obvious the most likely light source is simply a police helicopter patrolling over New Years Eve revelers. Another UFO? Not quite. This keeps up, soon every person who lights a cigar in the dark with a lighter will be on You Tube as a UFO. These are not really UFO's, just ambiguous lights in the sky. By contrast, examples of the only real UFO images worth studying are those of the quality of a McMinnville, Oregon - Trent family- in 1950. There hasn't been very much worth looking at of late since. Yawn! ;D Steve

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/ufo/9468022/Britain-visited-by-one-UFO-a-month-but-MoD-rules-they-pose-no-threat.html Britain visited by one UFO a month but MoD rules they pose no threat[/color] The Ministry of Defence will no longer investigate UFO sightings after ruling there is “no evidence” they pose a threat to the UK despite a senior aviation official admitting the country is visited by one unidentified flying object a month. Jane Randall from Woking, Surrey, captured a strange looking object in the skies above Silbury Hill in Wiltshire in the latest sighting Photo: Jane Randall Richard Gray By Richard Gray 9:00AM BST 19 Aug 2012 It is official at last: Britain is not at risk from unidentified flying objects. Those who have long feared an invasion from Mars or further afield can relax – at least, that is, if they believe the Ministry of Defence. An end has been ordered to all official investigations of Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs, after the ministry ruled they do not pose a threat to the nation’s security. It comes as the head of UK Air Traffic Control admitted the country is visited by around one unidentified flying object a month. Asked on BBC Radio 4's Today programme about the existence of UFOs, Mr Deakin confirmed they were still being seen by his staff. e said: "Occasionally there are objects identified that do not conform to normal traffic patterns. It does not occupy a huge amount of my time. There are approximately one a month." Yet despite this, the MoD insists it will no longer investigate UFO sightings. The ruling came after the careful collation over the years of reports of strange lights in the skies, odd noises and apparent close encounters. The move to end all investigation was disclosed after a dedicated hotline for UFO sightings was discontinued for cost grounds, and the “UFO desk”, which cost £44,000 a year was also removed. Now officials say that any UFO investigation would divert valuable resources and instead a sophisticated network of radar infrastructure and anti-ballistic missile systems to monitor British airspace will spot any genuine threat. An MoD spokesman said: “In over fifty years no UFO report revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom. “The MoD had no specific capability for identifying the nature of such sightings and there would be no benefit in such an investigation. Furthermore, responding to reported UFO sightings diverted MOD resources from tasks that were more relevant to defence.” The abandonment of the UFO hotline and dedicated desk officer in 2009 had already caused concern among those who believe in the phenomena.

Yup, the UK is where tons of crop circles are made. It's also where the Loch Ness Monster hangs out. I guess the folks over there must be used to mysterious stuff happening so they don't give any thought to it any more. Or maybe the government in the UK is just being worthless like our government is. Politicians only care about gaining power and maintaining control over everything so if something doesn't pose a threat to their power of course they are not going to be interested in it, even if it is a UFO. Sounds pretty typical to me.
