Palermo president Zamparini visited by UFOs
04.07.10 | tribalfootball.com


Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has been visited by aliens!

Zamparini woke up yesterday morning to find a series of crop circles in one of the grain fields he owns in Friuli.

“It's a really strange feeling,” Zamparini explained. “To say there have been UFOs would be an exaggeration.

“The problem is that in this region of Italy these strange phenomena have been repeating themselves for some time.

“It could be the work of a man even if a similar job would take at least 20 people and it's strange that no one realised them doing it.”

Europe's concern over UFOs

* From: The Daily Telegraph
* July 09, 2010

EUROPE is not doing enough to counter the threat of UFOs, an MP warns.

Mario Borghezio, a far-right Italian member of the European Parliament, says the European Union is not sufficiently focused on studying UFOs.

He wants the EU to set up an “observatory” to catalogue incidents of people seeing UFOs in the sky. Serious, thorough research would expose a “systematic cover-up” of UFOs, the Wall Street Journal reports.

In his latest press release, Mr. Borghezio quotes an Italian astrophysicist named Massimo Teodorani: “The phenomenon of UFOs, it is not a kind of tale, but it is a real manifestation which can be estimated through the physics and the astronomy.”

So far, like a lone flying saucer sailing through the night, the Italian MEP doesn’t have much company. He’s gathered only 18 signatures in the 736-seat parliament.

Blazing UFO Causes Chinese Airport Closure
By Brian Barrett on July 10, 2010 at 10:20 AM

I’m not saying there were aliens flying whatever buzzed Hangzhou airspace earlier today. But there’s no question that it was an object, that it was flying, and that it’s as yet unidentified. And yet it looks awfully familiar up close:


After the UFO was detected at 9pm, dozens of inbound flights to nearby Xiaoshan Airport were diverted. Explanations have so far ranged from “sunlight reflected from planes” to military trials, but there’s no official statement yet from the Chinese government.

End the 'truth embargo' on UFOs, says activist Stephen Basset

13 Jul 10 @ 03:16pm by Rob Bates

US “astro-political activist” Stephen Bassett made his case for ending the “truth embargo” on UFOs at Paddington RSL last Saturday, but some of the most interesting revelations came from his audience.

About 100 people paid $30 to attend the seminar, which laid out claims of a worldwide cover-up that began in 1947.

At least two in the crowd said they had seen UFOs.

“I saw a UFO when I was 13 or 14 years old and I’ve never forgotten it,” said one attendee, who asked to be identified as Henry.

“It was this long, silver cigar-shaped thing in the sky. It was broad daylight and it was there for a long time.”

However, Henry said he had no idea whether the object was extraterrestrial and didn’t want to speculate.

Another so-called “contactee”, Ty Bosco, insisted what he saw “wasn’t from this planet” and “wasn’t made by humans”.

“It was just a pure white light that moved very smoothly, right over the top of us,” Mr Bosco said.

“The eerie thing is that the noise of the river, all the crickets and frogs, went dead silent as it passed over.”

Mr Bosco said he’d read thousands of similar accounts since his experience and many more were “afraid to talk because they’ll be ridiculed”.

He said there was probably no reason to fear UFOs because “if they were going to do away with the human race, why didn’t they do it a long time ago?”

Another spectator, Manfred Abraham, was less optimistic.

“I believe aliens exist, they have been here all along and they’re living among us,” Mr Abraham said. “You would never know (if you had met one) and like humankind I think there are good ones and bad ones.”

He said we would have no chance if push came to shove with our intergalactic neighbours, because their technology was “far superior”.

Mr Bosco agreed that UFO pilots were more advanced than humans and conceded there could be something sinister behind their visits.

“They want us around for some reason,” he said.

“We’re part of the master program - what the damn program is we don’t know. It could be terrible news.

“Maybe we’re food stock or something that’s yet to be hatched into food that these guys want to eat or something.

“Who knows?”

UFO spooks Show crowd

ANNIE SANSON
July 17th, 2010

A BRIGHT light travelling slowly across the sky last night spooked a large crowd of people at a Territory Show.

The sun was just going down and spectators started to gather around the rodeo arena at the Katherine showgrounds, when a bright light suddenly appeared in the sky around 6.20pm.

``At first, I thought it was a plane that had caught my eye in the sky,'' Mel Auty, 35, from Camira, Queensland, told the Northern Territory News last night.

``But it was more like a falling star, just not falling. It was slowly making its way across the sky.

``And it wasn't dark enough for stars to be out.

"It was going across the sky for maybe five seconds, before it suddenly disappeared."

The mother-of-three was not the only one to spot the weird light. Rikkasha Barcley, 8, said she was stunned by the "weird thing" in the sky and called out for her mum.

"There was this bright thing and then it was gone," she said.

"It was really strange. I don't know what it was. It was there, then it was gone."

Vicki Mulholland, of Borroloola, said she was watching the last campdraft events at the Show, when something caught her eye.

"I looked up and something went across the sky," she said.

"It kept going and going and suddenly it was gone just as if someone had switched if off."

The 32-year-old said she had seen meteorites and shooting stars before, but nothing like this. "It wasn't a star, that's not what it was," she said.

Thomas Herrod, of Adelaide River, said he had heard of strange phenomena in the Territory sky before, but he didn't believe in paranormal activities or any of "this bulls**t people talk about when they drink too much".

"But whatever it was, it wasn't anything I can explain," the 34-year-old said.

Aliens are Twittering us humans

* From: AAP
* July 24, 2010

SCIENTISTS believe aliens have been sending us Twitter-style messages for decades in a bid to make contact - we just haven't been checking their tweets.

While the messages wouldn't necessarily be restricted to 140 characters, a study suggest, ET is more likely to send out short, directed messages than continuous signals beamed in all directions.

"This approach is more like Twitter and less like War and Peace," Dr James Benford, a physicist and president of Microwave Sciences in the US, said.

His twin brother, Gregory, an astrophysicist at the University of California, said: "Whatever the life form, evolution selects for economy of resources.

"Transmitting signals across light years would require considerable resources."

The brothers claim scientists involved in America's Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, or SETI, have been taking the wrong approach for five decades.

They said alien signals would not be blasted out in all directions but narrowly directed in the one-to-10 gigahertz broadband signal range and SETI's broad sweeping search of the galactic plane could leave many days when brief Twitter-like flashes of "here we are" from alien civilisations go undetected.

Meanwhile, it's been revealed more than 100 planets of a similar size to Earth have been found in just the past few weeks.

The discovery was made by space telescope Kepler, which has been scanning the skies for planets orbiting stars since it was launched in January last year.

Scientists now think there are likely to be around 100 million planets in the Milky Way that harbour the right conditions for life.

They also expect to be able to identify around 60 of these habitable Earth-like planets within the next two years.

Road rage: I was cut off by aliens

From: Northern Territory News September 11, 2010

A WOMAN claims she was cut off by two alien beings in a spaceship shaped like a Ford station wagon - before it took off surrounded by green, blue and red flames.
It was just one of the stories to come out after ABC morning show presenter Leon Compton opened up the airwaves to UFO believers.

Betty from Alice Springs said her close encounter occurred in 1969, she told the NT News today.

She was driving 20km south of Aileron towards Alice Springs at 4am with her six year old daughter when they saw the vehicle "flying alongside us". "We saw these two figures inside this thing. It looked like a Ford station wagon, with the windows. It came in front of us really quickly."

Her daughter then said, "There's nothing to be afraid of."


"I said, 'Why did you say that?' She said, 'I don't know, it just came out of my mouth'.

"And as I was talking, the whole think took off like a shot out of a gun ... And then there was all this green and blue and red flames or lights all around it.

"I'll never forget it."

Other callers gave reasons why they believed in visitors from other planets - with one even quoting the Bible.

Dennis from Batchelor said his sighting was shared by a crowd of people on the Dripstone Cliffs at sunset.

"A mate and I were looking down the beach and saw this orangey-pink light progressing towards us. No sound at all," he said.

"We just watched it in silence as it cruised on past the casino."

And Cameron from Alice Springs said he was visiting a water hole in 1983 when he saw a flying saucer land 700m away.

"It was half the size of a football field," he said.

Aliens have deactivated British and US nuclear missiles, say US military pilots


Aliens have landed, infiltrated British nuclear missile sites and deactivated the weapons, according to US military pilots.


The beings have repeated their efforts in the US and have been active since 1948, the men said, and accused the respective governments of trying to keep the information secret.

The unlikely claims were compiled by six former US airmen and another member of the military who interviewed or researched the evidence of 120 ex-military personnel.

The information they have collected suggests that aliens could have landed on Earth as recently as seven years ago.


The men's aim is to press the two governments to recognise the long-standing extra-terrestrial visits as fact.



They are to be presented on Monday 27 September at a meeting in Washington.
One of the men, Capt Robert Salas, said: "The US Air Force is lying about the national security implications of unidentified aerial objects at nuclear bases and we can prove it."

UFO sparks airport chaos From: news.com.au October 06, 2010

A MAJOR Chinese airport was forced to shut to prevent passenger planes crashing into what appeared to be a UFO.

Witnesses say they saw a bright light shining in the sky close to Baotou airport, Inner Mongolia, on September 11, the UK’s Daily Telegraph reported.

The light zoomed in to circle the airport before suddenly vanishing a short time later, as captured in amateur footage uploaded to YouTube.

..The airport was shut for around an hour for safety reasons, a spokesman said.

Three flights to Baotou from Shanghai and Beijing were forced to circle the airport until the object disappeared.

Two other flights were diverted from Baotou.

It’s the eighth reported UFO sighting in China in the past four months.

In July planes were grounded and flights diverted away from Xiaoshan airport in Hangzhou City, China, after a mysterious glowing object appeared on air traffic controllers’ radar systems.

Conspiracy theorists confident Photoshopped NASA image is a cover-up

By Peter Farquhar, Technology Editor From: news.com.au October 08, 2010

The NASA image of Saturn's moons Dione and Titan, left, and the high-contrast version showing Photoshop marks, right. Source: news.com.au

ALIEN conspiracy theorists are confident they've caught NASA in the act of covering up the fact we are not alone in the universe.

A video posted on YouTube yesterday showed how an image of Saturn's moons Dione and Titan, taken by NASA's Cassini orbiter, had been Photoshopped before being added to a Picture of the Day website.

In the video, "DominatorPS3" turned up the brightness levels on the photo to show that a "huge" object can be seen behind the smaller moon, Dione.

Clearly visible are brush strokes that show how the rainbow aura of the object has been blacked out.

"More solid proof of NASA/ government coverups," DominatorPS3 said.

"... and this is recent. You can do this yourself!!"

Of course, being the internet, it didn't take long for the truth to get out there, so to speak.

The person responsible for the manipulation, Emily Lakdawalla, told a forum of excitable theorists that she made the changes because of the way Cassini takes photos.

"Cassini takes colour pictures by snapping three sequential photos through red, green, and blue filters," she said.

"In the time that separated the three frames, Dione moved, so if I did a simple color composite I would be able to make Titan look right, but not Dione; or Dione look right, but not Titan.

"So I aligned Dione, cut it out, and then aligned Titan, and then had to account for the missing bits of shadow where the bits of Dione had been in two of the three channels."

She explained the process further at Planetary.org but it still wasn't enough for the alien hunters, particularly DominatorPS3.

"Thanks for the feedback and explanation," he said in a comment on the YouTube post.

"However I still remain sceptical because someone still could have ordered her to 'cut it or something out'.

"But thanks for putting that info up so others can read it; I am not trying to convince people what I believe."

Did aliens create mutant Drumstick, the four-legged chick?

Daniel Bourchier From: Northern Territory News October 25, 2010

THE day a four-legged chicken hatched, her owner was travelling through the Northern Territory's top alien hotspot.

Kevin Horner said it may have just been a coincidence the chicken with two extra legs was born as he was passing through Wycliffe Well, 1100km south of Darwin, last Wednesday, the Northern Territory News said.

He has dubbed the chirpy little hy-line brown chicken "Drumstick" on account of her unexplained extra limbs.

"I have never seen or heard of a four-legged chicken," he said.

"I've bred about 100,000 chickens over the years. I've never seen anything like this.

"The first thing I saw was it sitting in there and thought it was sitting on a dead chicken.

"I just saw these other extra little feet.

"I think it formed from a double yolk egg, I don't think it's all that uncommon, but I've never seen it before."

Mr Horner, 59, of Noonamah said not everyone believed him when he first revealed his bizarre new pet.

"I said it to my wife and she said, 'what have you been drinking'," he said.

"I told a few people down at the pub about her and they said I must have done some good drugs."

Drumstick is reportedly not facing any segregation from the other chickens. And the chicken will be spared from becoming a meal and will instead be a prized pet.

Did the aliens do it? - leave your comment and see Drumstick at the Northern Territory News.

'Ghost tourism' a booming industry

By Angela Saurine From: news.com.au November 01, 2010

EXPERIENCING the sensation of a ghost passing through you is not one you forget in a hurry.
Peter Clifford easily pinpoints it as the scariest encounter he has had in eight years hosting ghost tours in the Blue Mountains, NSW.

Mr Clifford - otherwise known as "Paranormal Pete'' - was standing in an old pit where convicts were once kept at Mt York when he felt the spirit go through him.

At the same time he experienced a cold feeling like walking into the freezer section at a supermarket, lost all his energy and heard a voice telling him to "get out of here''.

"I didn't go back to that site for a few months,'' Mr Clifford said.

"I have had other people in there who have had similar experiences but not as intense.

"The Pits is our best or worst spot, depending how you look at it. It's the most active.''

Clifford said it is not uncommon for guests on his tours to have ghosts tap them on the shoulder, whisper in their ear or hear chains dragging or keys rattling.

With a plethora of TV shows dealing with the paranormal, "ghost tourism'' has become a booming industry, especially across NSW.

Many operators and guides say series such as Ghost Whisperer, Most Haunted and Ghost Hunters International have created so much interest their tours are often booked out months in advance, and new tours are popping up all the time.

Fay Dean, who owns The Crystal Shop in Camden, NSW, introduced a Friday night ghost tour of historic Studley Park House last month as an add-on to her business.

They are already booked out until December and she is hoping to add extra tours to cope with the demand.

Martin Brennan, a ghost tour guide at the Q Station in Manly, said its standard ghost tours have doubled in popularity in the past year.

They have also introduced a Spirit Investigator tour led by a clairvoyant or medium.

"This generation just love to get out and experience the spiritual world,'' he says.

Records show 572 people suffering contagious diseases such as smallpox, The Plague and Spanish influenza were buried at the former quarantine station between 1828 and 1984.

Because they were in quarantine they were denied their last rites, leading to perfect conditions for ghosts.

"You have four days after you pass away to go into the light to the other side and if you haven't been given the blessing to go you're going to think twice about it,'' Mr Brennan said.

People on his tours often feel the ghosts of children holding their hands or playing with their hair, hear footsteps on the verandahs or music playing.

Colleen Harrison believes Observatory Hill in The Rocks is one of the most active places for ghosts in NSW.

Before she began running ghost tours in the area with her husband Brian seven years ago, she saw a "smudgy'' figure coming from the trees there who appeared to be wearing a cape and top hat.

She has also seen the figure of a woman in an old fashioned dress with her hair in a tight bun while walking past the historic Hero of Waterloo Hotel.

She thinks it is the ghost of Ann Kirkman, who was killed after being pushed down the hotel's stairs by her publican husband in the 1800s.

As the oldest settlement in Australia, Mrs Harrison believes The Rocks is a great place to see ghosts.

"They say ghosts are felt where they have lost their power, like hospitals and prisons, and this was a convict colony,'' she says.

"Most of the pubs have a ghost.''

But Monte Cristo Homestead, at Junee in the Riverina district, is widely regarded as Australia's most haunted house.

The house has an hoffific history; a pregnant 15-year-old maid was pushed off the balcony to her death, a young boy was burnt to death in his bed by his boss because he was too sick to work and the caretaker was shot.

Reg and Olive Ryan had only been living there three days when they had their first strange experience.

The couple were returning from a trip to town when they saw lights streaming out of the beds and windows - despite the fact the electricity wasn't yet connected.

"My wife would move but I don't want to move,'' Mr Ryan said.

The couple instead began offering ghost tours, in which you can stay overnight, and business is so good they are booked out until next year.

"We haven't had a ghost tour that nothing's happened,'' Mr Ryan said.

Janine Donnellan, from paranormal investigations group Soul Searchers, agrees Monte Cristo Homestead is one of the most active places for ghostly encounters in the state.

"Everyone in our group experienced some sort of paranormal activity there,'' she said.

"During the middle of the night myself and another girl woke up and we were in serious pain in our back.

"I thought it was food poisoning but at breakfast the owner said a maid died giving birth in that bed and sometimes people sleeping in that bed feel like they are going through the experience of childbirth.''

A lot of interesting stuff about the Nazi UFO Conspiracy. More evidence of that then aliens

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

The coincidental timelines of it all are really freaky. Especially with all the airbases that Nazi scientists worked that, UFO sightings and crashes happened around them

I was abducted by blonde, asian aliens

From: Northern Territory News November 10, 2010

A MAN claiming to have been abducted by two female aliens - a blonde and an Asian - will be one of the guest speakers at a UFO conference in Central Australia early next year.
Peter Khoury will be among the speakers invited to the three-day event at well-known UFO hotspot Wycliffe Well.

His abduction is claimed to be the first with DNA-tested biological evidence after a blonde hair was recovered in the aftermath.

Wycliffe Well Holiday Park will host the much-anticipated conference from March 18-20 next year.

It is the second conference to be proposed in the NT following local UFOlogist Alan Ferguson's proposal to hold one in Darwin.

Organiser Arc Van der Zalm said people would not be disappointed with the calibre of speakers.

The list includes Rex Gilroy - who claims to be the father of Australian cryptozoology (the search for animals that are considered to be legendary or otherwise nonexistent by mainstream biology).

Mr Van der Zalm has owned the Park since January and said he had seen half a dozen "amazing things" in the relatively short time he had been there.

He said that just last week "we had two sightings in two nights from two different people".

Mr Van der Zalm said the conference would not just be about listening to speakers - there would breakfasts and barbecues, star gazing, day trips to tourist hot spots and marquees of displays and literature.

The area's history is steeped in UFO sightings.

During WWII, when the area was an Army market garden, servicemen kept records of the "weird un-identified flying objects they would encounter", including daytime sightings.

Wycliffe Well is about an 11-hour drive from Darwin, and Mr Van der Zalm said it was well worth the trip.

Three-day passes to the conference cost $130 and single-day tickets $50.

Not exactly a UFO as it's popularly known, but an Unidentified Flying Object? Sure...

UFO magnet housewife visted by 17 aliens

From: The Daily Telegraph

BRIDGET Grant looks like an ordinary housewife more at home making the school run than giving speeches at public conferences around the world.
But her extraordinary experiences mean she is in big demand both here and in America.

For Bridget is widely recognised in the UFO world as the Briton most visited by aliens.

In her 40 years she claims to have had at least 17 encounters with UFOs, including five up close.

"Why me? I don't know. I can't understand it but I need answers," she said.

"I can't explain what's happening to me. I feel very happy that I've witnessed what I have.

"But I am frustrated that my experiences are ones I haven't been able to tell to most people for fear of ridicule."

Bridget says her alien encounters began when she was a little girl living in a village in Devon, although at the time she did not realise their significance.

"I was seven years old and it was in the school holidays and I know it was winter," she recalled.

"I had to get home for tea and I decided for some reason to walk through the village on a different route from my normal one.

"I met what I thought was a very small Chinese girl. She was about my height and I thought she was Chinese because of her eyes.

"She showed me some money - a Hong Kong note - and she showed me her house.

"She didn't say much but I had to get home for tea so we arranged to meet the next day.

"The next day I went back at about the same time but the house was no longer there.

"It had been at the end of a cul-de-sac but now there was a field where the house had been.

"In the field was a gazebo surrounded by coloured lights. I think I recognised it from watching Elvis Presley films on TV at Christmas!

"The grass shimmered from the lights and I can remember jumping down from something and going home."

Bridget never saw the "Chinese girl" or the "gazebo" again.
