Insider reveals Airforce response to Phoenix Lights in 1997

An insider has come forward exposing the response of the 56 Fighter Wing at Luke Air Force Base to the 1997 Phoenix lights, saying that the United States Air Force was in a "state of anxiety" following the phoenix lights. The insider is likely an officer from the air traffic control center at Luke airforce base.
Below is an extract from his revealing tell all posts on the ATS forum:

Source Examiner and ATS forum: 
"USAF personnel stationed at both Luke AFB in Glendale and Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson were a bit scared, as something was occurring over the skies of central and southern Arizona that night, and the on-duty personnel at both bases had no idea what it was."

Luke AFB scrambled two F-16C's from the 56th Fighter Wing, however, these aircraft were not vectored southwest of Phoenix toward the source of the [publicly reported flare] lights, but directly south toward Tucson. What is known further, is that less than 10 minutes later, a second set of F-16C's from the 56th were also scrambled and sent southeast.

Radio reports from the first flight of aircraft indicated something "odd" was occurring, however the pilots never gave any indication or specifics (in the open at any rate), as to what that was. Both flights were kept away intentionally from the lights being seen near the Estrella range. It was obvious to all with access that there were other aircraft in the area, with orders to drop flares (whether this was the Maryland ANG is unknown). It was felt that this was indeed a "deception" measure to keep curiosity focused on one space in the sky, as flares were never used that far north of the Goldwater training range (as any Luke personnel can tell you, if they were, there would be weekly "Phoenix Lights" incidents).


On the night of March 13th, 1997, an alert klaxon sounded at Luke, orders for two armed aircraft to perform an immediate take-off to 10,000 feet, and head south-east towards a radar sighting north of Casa Grande, Arizona. The first two aircraft, from the 56th Fighter Wing (310th Fighter Squadron), were armed only with 2x AIM-9M Sidewinder missiles and 20mm Vulcan cannons each. Once the flight was airborne, the flight leader called in that something “odd” was occurring after he picked up a radar contact a few thousand feet below, and several miles ahead of his position. His radar was showing “clutter” common to stand-off jamming.

This led to two further F-16C’s from the 56th, that were being fueled and armed since the first flight was launched, being sent up. This pair, in addition to the armament as above, also carried 2x AIM-7M Sparrow medium range missiles as well. They were also vectored south-east towards Flight 1 (now over Marana, AZ and approaching Tucson) on full afterburner. Flight 1 leader was able to regain radar contact on something large and low that was beginning to accelerate rapidly. Flight 1 lost the contact approximately 7 miles south of Tucson, and was ordered to proceed close to the border and try to regain contact.

Once Flight 1 lost radar contact, Flight 2 was ordered back to Luke (Flight 2 had just approached the Tucson area). Once Flight 1 was on station, attempts were made to re-establish radar contact to no avail. After 10 minutes or so, Flight 1 was ordered back to Luke. ALL of this occurred as the “flares” were being taped and photographed south-west of Phoenix. No aircraft were vectored to that area to investigate.

Further scramble of aircraft was initiated from Nellis AFB, Nevada (prior to the Phoenix sighting) and Holloman AFB, New Mexico (around 10 minutes after the Flight 1 scramble from Luke). F-16’s from Nellis, no word on aircraft type from Holloman (at the time it was the only F-117A “Stealth Fighter” base, with the Luftwaffe having a training squadron of Tornado aircraft, neither would have been used on an intercept mission).

Towers at several locations had tapes of the “event”. Radar at Luke and Davis-Monthan were picking up low level “noise” on several frequencies, similar to what had happened to Flight 1. This “noise” was consistent with active wide-spectrum jamming. It was highly unusual for this to occur in an area that did not have that type of (jamming) training environment (nearest place this was done was at the Nellis AFB range). According to many in the know, something physical was in the sky that night, with radar data providing the primary source of evidence. That “something” entered Mexican airspace and promptly disappeared. Maximum recorded speed was at Mach 1.8 past Tucson nearing Fort Huachuca.

Its not uncommon for high profile people and those in the know to come forward on what they know about the Phoenix lights  onyl just now ... as i only just recently posted - back in 2007 The former governor of Arizona, Fife Symington then confessed that the Mayors office had to coverup the situation back in 1997 because it would cause widespread panic in Phoenix. He then goes on to describe the Phoenix Lights as he saw on CNN. "It was enormous, it just felt 'other worldly', in your gut you could just tell it was 'other worldly'", said Symington

Canada's releases UFO files in a easy to search virtual archive

Hi all,

From the UK, to Denmark and now Canada ... governments all over the world (but not yet USA!) are actively disclosing Ufo information contained within archives in the renewed global attempt for Ufo disclosure. Whether this is a united effort remains unsure but the timing of the release of the reports from country to country is very close and is a great step forward to full Ufo disclosure. The new Canadian Ufo database is the most easy to use and innovative Ufo archive so far..  

(By the way .. I would like to know your comments on why so many governments are disclosing Ufo information right now - co-incidental or a united campaign? - reply to this post)

The below extract from this article explains the Canadian events further:

The Canadian Government has authorized open public access to thousands of federal government documents concerning UFOs. A total of 9500 digitized documents spanning the years 1947 to the early 1980s have been made available through the Library and Archives Canada website. Titled “Canada's UFOs: The Search for the Unknown” the files include correspondence, reports, memos and procedures, some of which specifically deal with UFOs. The files come from Canada’s National Defense Department, the Department of Transport, the National Research Council, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Canada’s release of its UFO X-Files follows closely upon the release at the end of January of Denmark's UFO files. Britain continues to release thousands of UFO files through a program of gradual releases it began in May 2007 through its national archives with the most recent in Jan 2009. The French Space Agency had earlier announced on March 22, 2007, that it was making public its secret UFO files through a government website.

The important difference between the released Canadian UFO files with other country releases is the inclusion of departmental analyses rather than simply reports of UFO sightings.

Red " Alien Rain " in Kerala India 2001 - did life originate from aliens?

From July 25 to September 23, 2001, red rain sporadically fell on the southern Indian state of Kerala. Heavy downpours occurred in which the rain was coloured red, staining clothes with an appearance similar to that of blood.Coloured rain had been reported in Kerala in as early as 1896 and several times since then.

Most astonishingly scientists reported that "The red rain phenomenon of Kerala has a possible extraterrestrial origin" because the red rain is actually organisms which do not have DNA or RNA and thus are unlike any organisms found on earth. 

One of their conclusions was:
If the red rain particles are biological cells and are of cometary origin, then this supports the hypotheis that "seeds" of life exist already all over the universe, and life on earth originated from those "seeds".

This red rain event was discussed further in this excellent documentary which aired on the BBC called alien life on earth (its goes off on other topics but these parts focus on the red rain):

Also Remember back in 2007 The former governor of Arizona, Fife Symington then confessed that the Mayors office had to coverup the situation back in 1997 because it would cause widespread panic in Phoenix.He then goes on to describe the Phoenix Lights as he saw them from a park, on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360°. "It was enormous, it just felt 'other worldly', in your gut you could just tell it was 'other worldly'", said Symington.

Translation
Occasionally a cross in the sky seems, although fits to clarify that a servidora does not relate this sight with religious questions. I am conscious that the peculiar form can be an optical aberration. The erratic movements that are perceived in the recording they are product of the maladjustment of the tripié, since the object had a uniform path. Sadly I did not obtain a takes stable, but of all ways I wanted to share the images. The video is dated February 5, 2009, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, in the Federal District.. Can be a globe? Perhaps, in Mexico there are many, amen that is very difficult to determine with precision the nature of some flying objects, above all when they are to great distance. Atte. Ana Luisa Cid

A closer look at the 1996 Olivers castle 'hoaxed' Crop circle Orb formation

The famous 'orbs forming a crop circle video' is one of the most watched crop circle videos on youtube, after much investigation it was meant to be an elaborate hoax but yet the video remains a contraversy to this day -  whats your opinion?  - you can discuss this further here in this topic forum.


Oliver’s Castle (northwest of Devizes, England) when a formation appeared in the fields just below this famous landmark at approximately 5:00 am on August 11, 1996.  A camper and amateur photographer was allegedly able to videotape a 17 to 18 second segment during which four balls of light (some 3-4 feet in diameter) appeared, apparently initiating and completing the entire formation virtually instantaneously!   

After this videotape was carefully and exhaustively studied by experts in the field  it appears that, according to Colin Andrews, Joyce Murphy, and Stuart Conway , the film sequence “shows either a very elaborate attempt to fraud or we have secured the most incredibly important UFO and crop circle film footage ever.”



With further analysis this footage is discussed further in the Geographic channels obviously skeptic documentary on crop circles - is it real? , which originally aired in 2005 :

New UFO Hunters - Aliens at the Airport

New Ufo Hunters episode looks at the worrying trend of Ufos following passanger aircraft and attempts of Ufos to land at airports around the world.I have talked about this trend many times before
Also the video exposes the FAA's coverup of the Ohare incident with unrefutable evidence from the airtraffic controllers tapes showing they were aware of the Ufo. Discuss further in the forum here

A UFO sighting above Chicago's largest airport leaves authorities scrambling for answers. On November 7th, 2006 (link), a strange object hovered for ten minutes over Gate C17 at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago before rapidly ascending into the sky. And on October 23rd of 2004, in Osaka, Japan a UFO was spotted tailing Japanese Airlines flight 1512 (link)as it came in for a landing. Are UFOs following our own commercial aircraft, and surveying our airports?

Crashed Ufo filmed within Wright Patterson AFB Hanger 18 ?

Could this be real footage of a Ufo filmed from within the famous Wright Patterson airforce base? - comments guys..
(famously known as the base where the crashed craft from Roswell was meant to be flown to 1947)


Right-Patterson AFB has become very well-known among UFO researchers and theorists due to its connection with the Roswell incident of July 1947. This is one of the locations, alongside the Groom Lake/Area51 installation in Nevada, where wreckage of a crashed UFO as well as alien bodies were shipped. Wreckage of the craft was shipped directly to Ohio aboard a B-29 after the mysterious crash and placed in the infamous Hangar 18.

The crash of a 100ft in diameter saucer with 16 dead aliens aboard near Aztec, New Mexico in 1948, had its remains sent to Wright-Patterson AFB shortly thereafter.

From 1947 to 1969, the Air Force investigated Unidentified Flying Objects under Project Blue Book. The project, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, was terminated 17 December 1969. Of a total of 12,618 sightings reported to Project Blue Book, 701 remained "unidentified."

Some believe Wright-Patterson to be a top-secret UFO monitoring and research station, which considering its past programs, doesn't seem unreasonable at all.

 I have now added to the calendar when all the new Ufo Hunters episodes are to air on the history channel so you can keep track:


area 51

October 26th, 1994, the U.S. government made their first official acknowledgement of Area 51. Six months later, nearly 4,000 acres of previously public land surrounding the base were closed. Now, over a decade later, satellite photos reveal new buildings, towers, and runways finishing construction. Secret flights with blacked-out windows bring passengers from Las Vegas. And security surrounding the perimeter of the base is tighter than ever. The team heads to the epicenter of UFO and military conspiracy theories to visit new vantage points, speak with former base employees, and search the skies above America's most top-secret facility

UFO Over South Hampton UK.

Great orb filmed by this person by Infra Red camera Over South Hampton in the UK.

Posters comments;
I've examined loads of frames from this footage and have tried to find a still to show a plane which I normally have no problem zooming in on, especially at this hight. I can't so I've posted it as a UFO.

Sorry about the shakyness, I had one hand on IR lens in two minds to whip it off to see if it was still there plus walking around the garden trying to get a better view.

UFOs Videotaped over Lancashire UK 7th Feb 2009

New reported sighting from Leyland, Preston near Lancashire (near where that windmill incident happened the other month):

Source:
Location of Sighting: Leyland, Preston
Date of Sighting: 7th February 2009
Time: 19.30
Witness: Martin Heald

Witness Statement: I went out into the back garden for a cigarette and saw 4 x extremely bright UFOs approaching and going over the houses in my street. They were at what I would estimate to be an extremely low altitude and flying in a staggered formation under definate intelligent control. These were definately not Chinese lanterns. There was absolutely no wind at all. I would stake my house on the fact that there will be plenty of witnesses in the general Leyland, Preston area to these objects. I managed to get them on film as well. The time was 19:30 and the sighting lasted around 4 minutes.

Cylinder UFO filmed above Somerset coastline 11 Feb 2009

New Cylinder Ufo Somerset UK:

Below extract from this article
Caravaners were left baffled when the mysterious cylinder hovered over a busy campsite in Brean, Somerset.
They claimed the unidentified black metal object stands out clearly against the blue sky, where it can be seen darting up and down for more than 10 minutes.
Local police reported no unusual activity, but witnesses were left convinced they had seen an extra-terrestrial spectacle.
It took place on a sunny afternoon last July when tourists staying at an unidentified holiday park spotted the object.
One grabbed his video camera and managed to capture its strange, erratic movements in the sky.
The video was shot at the height of the tourist season and stopped hundreds of holidaymakers in their tracks.

Ufo over wichitakansas 9th feb

News report of a new Ufo sighting over wichitakansas 9th feb :

Below extract from this article:

It flew fast like a jet, made a whirling sound and left an odd glow.

That's how an amateur photographer described a flying machine he spotted in the skies near Rose Hill on Friday. The UFO world is now paying attention to his photograph.

On Monday, the photo appeared under the headline "Weird Object in Wichita," on UFO Digest, a Canadian Web site.

The object looks like some kind of new-technology fighter jet, possibly a prototype, said UFO Digest editor and publisher Dirk Vander Ploeg.

Jarrod Bartlett, spokesman for Boeing Integrated Defense Systems-Wichita, said in an e-mail that he checked with flight operations staff "and they were not able to identify the aircraft. We do not often get calls regarding unidentified aircraft."

McConnell Air Force Base declined to comment.
