Brightly-Coloured UFO Spotted on Australia's Gold Coast
A brightly-lit UFO has been spotted on the Gold Coast in Australia.
A brightly-lit UFO has been spotted on the Gold Coast in Australia.
Chevron Island local, Jack Purcell , caught the red and green flashing 'alien-looking spaceship' on camera hovering above the sea.
"We were all just sitting out the front and my mum pointed to the sky and said 'look at that colourful plane flying over'," Purcell said.
"Then it came to a sudden stop and was just hovering there. So I ran inside and grabbed my video camera."
Purcell said when the police tried to 'call it in' with a police helicopter the unidentified object would turn its lights off and disappear.
"It was really strange. I was quite sceptical of these things but it just blew my mind."
He denies it could be a remote control drone helicopter as some people have suggested on YouTube and said: "I've seen drone choppers and they're not that big whereas this thing was huge.
"It was really high in the sky too, I don't think this one was somebody mucking around.
"I have no idea what it was but my guess I think it's a UFO despite how crazy that might sound."
Gold Coast Police said it was notified about the object but believes it was a radio controlled device.
A spokesman added: "If it was anything larger it would have been picked up by the air control radars."
Candidate for US congress stands by her claim she was abducted by aliens
Bettina Rodriguez says she was abducted by extraterrestrials when she was seven
Florida Candidate for Congress Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera previously remarked she was abducted by extraterrestrials.
Independent reports the candidate still stands by her claim:
A candidate for the United States’ Congress has said she stands by her claims she was abducted to an alien spaceship at age seven, but that the incident shouldn’t detract from what she’s done here on Earth since then.
Florida hopeful Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera has claimed in past Spanish TV network appearances, most recently in 2011, that she was taken aboard a ship with three blonde creatures that resembled Rio de Janeiro’s Christ the Redeemer statue.
“I don’t exactly know what happened,” she told The Associated Press on Monday. “I believe it is real. But I was seven years old. It was an experience I had a thousand years ago.”
Her experience is one of many alien encounters she has previously claimed:
Ms Rodriguez Aguilera declined to go into details on what was said in her 2009 appearance on America TeVe, where she claimed the extraterrestrials told her “the centre of the world’s energy is in Africa”.
She then talks about 30,000 non-human skulls discovered in a cave on the Mediterranean island of Malta.
Another video uploaded in 2011 also showed Rodriguez Aguilera in a TV show talking about the discovery.
The Miami Herald reports she claims she has since been contacted by these extraterrestrials:
Three blond, big-bodied beings — two females, one male — visited her when she was 7 years old and have communicated telepathically with her several times in her life, she says.
They reported a number of other out of this world claims:
She described “going up” inside the spaceship — though whether it went into space or just hovered around town was left unclear.
“I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship — not like airplanes,” Rodriguez Aguilera said.
In two separate videos posted to YouTube years ago, one by local Spanish-language station America TeVe and another by a political critic with the user name DoralGirl26, Rodriguez Aguilera spoke on television in detail about her extraterrestrial experiences. She said the alien beings reminded her of the famous statue in Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer, with arms outstretched.
Among the things she said she found out from the aliens:
▪ There are 30,000 skulls — “different from humans” — in a cave in the Mediterranean island of Malta. ▪ The world’s “energy center” is in Africa. ▪ The Coral Castle, a limestone tourist attraction South Miami-Dade, is actually an ancient Egyptian pyramid. ▪ “God is a universal energy.”
She also said that the aliens had mentioned Isis, though she didn’t clarify if they meant the terrorist organization or the ancient Egyptian goddess.
Aguilera is running for a vacancy made by Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen’s retirement.
The campaign for the seat is sure to be hotly contested as five Republicans are currently in the running for the Republican primary.
Some experts are predicting Democrats may take the seat in a competitive race.
For those that don't know, ECETI stands for Enlightened Contact with Intelligent Extraterrestrial.
Nestled within the Mount Adams Wilderness north of the Columbia River Gorge in south-central Washington State, ECETI Ranch is a legendary Cascadian UFO and ET contact hotspot. Reports of contact with intelligent beings from within the region predate Kenneth Arnold's 1947 sighting of flying saucers. A multi-decade study of nearby Yakima Lights phenomena reportedly informed designers of UFO special effects seen in the 1977 film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
This video was shot this morning at 9am by Ryan Wehner on his iPhone at ECETI Ranch in Washington state. He was shooting a panoramic scene at the ranch and after reviewing the footage caught this amazing, saucer-shaped, UFO that flew over the ranch and made a left-hand turn behind the trees at the north side of ECETI. This is the actual raw footage that was sent to FADE to BLACK right from his iPhone.
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. . . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time. . . . I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.”
– Doctor Edgar Mitchell, 6th man to walk
As recent as a decade ago, avid UFO and extraterrestrial researchers were unable to speak openly about their research without being ridiculed. Today, the topic has gained considerable credibility and popularity, so much so that not only are high ranking figures from military, political, and academic spheres speaking out, but also popular global figures as well, and particularly at prestigious conferences around the world. Previously classified documents that have been released from dozens of governments around the world have also allowed this topic to enter the respected public domain.
The 2011 Global Competitiveness Forum, at which a number of prominent scientists attended, featured a lecture by Jacques Vallee, notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA, and for his work at SRI International on the network information centre for ARPANET, on the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon.
Here’s another talk by nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman at the same conference. The main theme of that conference was contact with intelligent extraterrestrials, and learning from outer space.
As far as documents, whistleblowers, and other ‘proofs’ that have emerged, we’ve covered many in great detail in a number of articles that we’ve published. You can access those articles by visiting the exopolitics section of our website here.
The latest major figure to comment on extraterrestrials was Elon Musk, founder, CEO, and CTO of SpaceX and co-founder, CEO, and product architect of Tesla, Inc. Aside from a phenomenal businessman, Musk is an activist who uses his wealth and resources to create a better Earth.
He touched on extraterrestrials at the World Government Summit, a global platform dedicated to shaping the future of government worldwide. Each year, the Summit sets the agenda for the next generation of governments with a focus on how they can harness innovation and technology to solve universal challenges facing humanity.
Here’s an excerpt from that speech, which you can view here:
When I was a kid I was wondering, kind of, what’s the meaning of life, like, why are we here, what’s it all about? I came to the conclusion that what really matters is trying to understand the right questions to ask, and, the more that we can increase the scope and scale of human consciousness, the better we are able to ask these questions. . . .
Some of those things are in the long term, having long term sustainable transport and sustainable energy generation, and to be a space-bearing civilization, and for humanity to be out there among the stars, and be a multi-planetary species. I think being a multi-planet species and being out there among the stars is important for the long term survival of humanity. . . . It creates a sense of adventure, and it makes people excited about the future.
Below is a snippet taken from the full interview. In it, he states that if there are super intelligent extraterrestrials somewhere out there, which is the generally agreed upon scientific hypothesis, “they’re probably already observing us, that would seem quite likely, and we’re just not smart enough to realize it.”
“Not Smart Enough To Realize It”
“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, ETs, etc. . . . They are visiting Earth NOW; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking.”
– Theodor C. Loder III, Phd, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire (source)
I think Musk is right — they are probably already watching us, we just don’t realize it yet. But things are changing. Numerous efforts are being made to educate the public on this subject, from the most credible sources available. Scientific publications, video footage, and photos have already been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals for a number of years. (source)
Below is a powerful statement made by former NASA astronaut and Princeton physics professor Dr. Brian O’Leary, who says that there is “abundant evidence that we are being contacted, and that intelligent civilizations have been visiting for a very long time.”
Again, if you want to sift through some of this evidence, we’ve presented it in hundreds of articles you can view in chronological order in the exopolitics section of our website here.
Why the Masses Haven’t Realized It — Or Have They?
“Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.”
– Former head of CIA Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)
Movies and television shows bombard us constantly with stories of extraterrestrial invasions, and despite all of the evidence available, the fact that we are being and have been visited by extraterrestrials can be a scary thought, particularly given the way extraterrestrials are typically portrayed.
With a massive disinformation campaign that has focused on covering up these facts for decades, along with the mass ridicule of this subject for anyone who took it seriously in the past, it quickly escaped the minds of the masses and many people considered the notion of ongoing intelligent contact with our planet from extraterrestrials completely preposterous.
A great quote from Carl Sagan comes to mind:
One the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re not longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
Patient Seventeen Trailer Expose The Truth Behind Alien Abductions?
Doctor Roger Lier is a polarizing figure in the world of UFO enthusiasts and the new mystery/documentary, Patient Seventeen, seeks to provide more information about Lier and his beliefs. Roger Leir claims to be a leading surgeon that removes nanotechnology from human beings that were placed in them by aliens from another world and Patient Seventeen looks to verify the authenticity of Leir's claims through the thought-provoking documentary. The real-life Patient Seventeen is a man from Southern California in his forties and he claims that he was visited by aliens when he was a child. Leir recently put him under the knife to remove a metallic object from his calf, which he believes was put there by extraterrestrial beings. The official synopsis for the documentary reads.
"Meet a surgeon who claims to remove highly advanced implants, nanotechnology microchips imbedded by aliens, non-humans monitoring our earth. Discover the world of abductions, scalar wave transmissions, and a program to study or manipulate the human race. Armed with a patient, a scalpel, black lights and a stud finder; we seek to verify the authenticity of this alleged Off-World Implant Technology."
Filmmaker Jeremy Kenyon Locker Corbell aims to find the truth in Leir's work and interviews him and Patient Seventeen at length throughout the course of the unsettling movie that is sure to raise a few eyebrows. Patient Seventeen is the latest movie in a series that Corbell calls his "investigative film series" through his Extraordinary Beliefs productions.
A podiatrist by training, from the late 1980s Roger Leir became increasingly involved with his local branch of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Attending one of its conferences in 1995, he was presented with several foot X-rays from a woman who believed that she had been abducted by aliens. Despite Leir's skepticism, the scans did indicate that there was something in her big toe, and to satisfy his curiosity he offered to operate on her, free of charge. On August 19th, 1995 he extracted two very small foreign objects from the patient, each one metallic in appearance. A second patient underwent surgery that same day for an object about the size of a watermelon seed, between his thumb and index finger.
By the late 1990s, Leir's findings had established him as a prominent, though controversial, spokesperson for the alien abduction and UFO communities. The Aliens and the Scalpel, detailing his experiences with "implant" surgery, was published in 1999, followed by Casebook: Alien Implants. He made appearances in various television documentaries, including the History Channel's UFO Hunters, and attended conferences in more than 40 countries. In 2003, he traveled to Varginha, Brazil, to conduct his own research into the alleged crash of an alien craft there seven years previously, an event dubbed "the Brazilian Roswell." The investigation formed the basis of his final book, UFO Crash in Brazil.
Doctor Roger Leir died in 2014 at the age of 79 and Patient Seventeen aims to dive into his studies that many believe to be completely fabricated. Discover the world of alien abductions in the new trailer from The Orchard's Patient Seventeen. Armed with a patient, a scalpel, black lights and a stud finder; director Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell seeks to verify the authenticity of alleged Off-World Implant Technology in this gripping documentary available to own October 10th, and On Demand October 31st.
A group called Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence are about to step up the call to ET
A SMALL group of stargazing researchers want to be more step up the hunt for ET, but others think it’s a risky idea.
OUR quest to contact aliens has reportedly created a rift between scientists responsible for handling humanity’s potential communication with ET.
For the past five decades or so, a network of scientists and astronomers have been scanning the cosmos looking for any radio signals or electronic signs left by an advanced alien species.
This network is largely known as SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Despite all their efforts, the cosmic radio waves have remained quiet when it comes to celestial messages from intelligent life.
The cynics among us would probably be quick to invoke the idea of the Fermi Paradox as to why such exercises by SETI are a fool’s errand — but some of the researchers are highly optimistic. The director of the institute, Seth Shostak, has famously predicted we’ll make some sort of contact with an alien species within the next two decades.
Of course, he is way more bullish on this topic than anybody else, and sadly there has so far been nothing to support his optimism.
So a splinter group of stargazing researchers inside SETI wants to be more proactive in the hunt for ET. Instead of just combing the skies looking for signals, they want to go on the offensive and beam messages into the cosmos on behalf of the human race.
The group calls themselves Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or METI, and they are dedicated to designing and sending messages intended for extraterrestrial recipients.
It won’t be the first time we’ve sent messages into space but some worrywarts think it’s a bad, or potentially even dangerous idea to solicit the attention of an unknown and obviously intelligent alien race. Those opposed to the idea include Stephen Hawking who thinks sophisticated aliens might view us like we view bacteria.
But Douglas Vakoch, president of METI International, is dismissive of such concerns.
“One of the reasons people are so afraid of METI is that it seems riskier to do something than to do nothing,” Mr Vakoch told Motherboard over e-mail.
“When we try to evaluate the risks and benefits of an unknown situation where we have little or no actual data, we fall back on the most vivid images that come to mind. But just because the first images of alien contact that come to mind are horrific, that doesn’t mean they’re realistic.”
METI plans on beaming out its first messages in 2018, the only question is how do you communicate with a species we have absolutely no idea about?
Previous solutions to this conundrum have proposed things like sending some form of a purely mathematical language, music, or pictograms in the direction of potentially habitable exoplanets.
The message will almost certainly need to be rooted in maths and physics, since they’re the fundamental language of the universe as we know it and thus are likely to be the only two types of knowledge we have in common. And that is exactly METI’s plan.
“Some of the most prominent messages of the past have tried to cover everything,” Mr Vakoch said. “We’re taking the opposite approach. Rather than trying to communicate everything (about math, science and life on Earth), we are focusing on saying a few things very clearly.”
But the question remains: will anyone, or anything, hear it?
