DMT - Is It Really The Spirit Molecule?

DMT Molecule

     

     For more than one hundred years, science has struggled to understand the effects of certain psychoactive chemicals on the human brain.  The list of chemicals laboratories have tested includes names like Mescaline, LSD, and other proverbial rock stars of recreational drug use.  But, there is one chemical in particular that has changed the way science looks at the psychedelic experience and have discovered it may affect human beings on a deeper molecular level.

Dr. Rick Strassman

Dimethyltryptamine also known as DMT, or the spirit molecule, was the focus of a study by Rick Strassman MD in the early nineties.  According to the study DMT is already present to some degree in all living things, and scientists think that humans have actually evolved with receptors in our brain to synthesize this chemical compound.  Unlike LSD or other known psychoactive substances that must be broken down in the body through ingestion or pulmonary absorption, DMT just docks into its receptor in our brain and goes to work the moment it is introduced into the body. 

Most of the major shamanic and tribal cultures around the world use some type of perception altering chemical for religious ceremony.  Each tribes brew tends to isolate DMT compounds from natural sources. The native peoples realized that by using the chemical inhibitor in one plant they could activate DMT in another, allowing it to be finally absorbed into the bloodstream.  Generally DMT is only active when it is smoked or injected, but the tribesman discovered they could reach the chemical in other ways.  Many tribes in South America use a super potent DMT based drink or "tea" known as Ayahuasca.  It is used to assist the shaman in attaining knowledge from the “spirit world” to help his people, and to commune with the gods.  

Dr. Strassman and his researchers believe that DMT may actually be produced within the pineal gland deep within the brain, and that it is directly related to human neurotransmitters such as serotonin and melatonin.  Many theorists also feel DMT has contributed in some form to all of mankind's major enlightening events throughout history.  Author Cliff Pickover states "DMT in the pineal glands of Biblical prophets gave God to humanity and let ordinary humans perceive parallel universes." This DMT production could play a pivotal role in molding human perception and spirituality throughout our lives, but it may also help doctors to explain certain psychosis or mental illness as well.  If the pineal gland is producing larger amounts of DMT than it should, or is releasing it in unusual ways, this could explain the hallucinations experienced by psychotics and severely disturbed sufferers of mental illness.

"Collective Vision" by Alex Grey 

So the question then is why?  Why would the human brain be hardwired to produce and use such a powerful hallucinogen?  Science has begun to make strides forward in terms of better understanding human perception, how our brain perceives the universe, and what the universe truly is from a perception point of view.  Quantum physics and what is known as string theory has put a whole new spin on the idea of what humans beings truly are.  We are starting to discover that things like subtle energy and radio and micro wave frequencies effect our conscious and sub-conscious perception of reality.

In essence, the universe is constantly giving our brains the information and signals it needs to produce a three dimensional world for us to exist in, with a fourth dimension of "Time" for us to measure it by.  But the truth is, science has already proven there are as many as eleven other dimensions of reality.  These are what natives and spiritualists refer to as “worlds” or “realms” and we are unable to naturally perceive them.  That is where researchers feel DMT and concoctions like Ayahuasca come into play, it allows the consumer to go to these other dimensions and return with knowledge or experience that will in some way help or benefit them.  Artist Alex Grey utilizes these psychedelic journeys into the mind to create his world renown artwork for bands like TOOL, or for galleries and universities all over the globe. He discusses his opinion on DMT and how he uses it to help his artwork in the following video shown below.

As we have progressed technologically it appears we may have regressed spiritually, and we are now completely reliant on complex systems of thought like religions, cults, covens, and other universal dogma to guide our straining spirituality. It is thought by researchers that because of our connection to consciousness, human beings would need a release mechanism in our brain such as DMT, which at the point of our death could be used to allow our "spirit" to move on, or evolve whichever the case may be.   Pretty deep stuff….

Is DMT really a way for human beings to connect to their spirit, a way to consciously enter the subconscious?  It seems to be something we each have to discover for ourselves, no two people will come to the exact same answer.  Although, the evidence is mounting about DMT, and it is clear that it has very unusual paranormal connections to human perception and how we relate to our universe.

X Quest Daily does not condone the illegal use of drugs, and does not suggest anyone try to reproduce the effects described in this article.

Are We Getting Closer to Disclosure?

Since the passing of the Freedom of Information Act many UFO researchers, and conspiracy buffs have dredged deeply into the U.S. Governments once classified files looking for answers.  The fact that governments all over the Earth have programs designed to deal with the UFO phenomena is no longer considered “need to know” information, and many countries have even begun declassifying their UFO programs much to the disappointment of the USA.

Although, disclosure right here at home might be much closer then you may think.   Retired Army Col. John Alexander has gone public with his desire to petition not only the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, but also CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, and National Intelligence Director Gen. James Clapper, to offer amnesty to military personnel that have witnessed UFO activity in the past but were sworn to secrecy.

Retired Army Col. John Alexander

Why is Col. Alexander’s voice any more important than say… mine or yours?  Well, Alexander was a military insider with top secret clearance, who also created Advanced Theoretical Physics – a group of top level government officials and scientists put together to study none other than…UFO reports. 

It is important to note that Col. Alexander also led Special Forces teams in Vietnam and Thailand in the 1960’s, and was a program manager at Los Alamos National Laboratory.  Not a bad resume. But more recently he has been trying to disclose information uncovered by a study group he was in charge of in 1980 which concluded:

•    Some UFOs are real and of unknown origin.
• About 5 percent of all sightings remain unexplained.
• Many sensor systems do have anomalous recordings.
• There are numerous UFO sightings reported by highly credible observers.
• There have been incidents involving interactions between UFOs and military systems.
• There have been interactions between UFOs and airplanes that raise safety issues.
• Over 70 percent of American adults believe the U.S. government is covering up information on the topic.
• Polls indicate that 20 percent of the global population believes aliens are here on Earth and living among us.

Alexander is scheduled to publicly announce his government request for UFO amnesty today at the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, Nev.   The museum is one of the newest in the country and focuses on the history of the countries development of energy and nuclear technology.  Oddly, it also contains an exhibit on the top secret base known as Area 51, which showcases numerous UFO related exhibits, one even claiming to be an "Authentic AlienArtifact."  Below is the video ad for the exhibit. 

Museum CEO and director Allan Palmer told the HuffingtonPost that he is glad that military officials who have seen or have knowledge about UFO’s will be able to come clean.  Palmer, who was also a highly decorated Air Force and Navy pilot, went on to say "The reason is because we all had very high-level security clearances," he said. "Just the mention of seeing something that you didn't know or you thought might be a UFO would be enough for a visit with the flight surgeon, if not the psychiatric staff at the base hospital. And that would be reason to pull your security clearance, at least temporarily, which means that you wouldn't be flying …”  Palmer goes on to say “At least as far as retribution or career penalties, if things could be lifted or suspended, that would probably help the process.”

Alexander does not appear to be attempting to get the government to disclose that UFO’s are extraterrestrial, but rather to promote a feeling of security among military officials where it is ok for them to report and discuss UFO sightings without fear of ridicule or penalty.  Col. Alexander claims in letters to some of the most powerful men in the world that "some level of secrecy has been invoked on U.S. military personnel.” and goes on to cite the Milton Torres story.   The tale of pilot Milton Torres and how he was forced into silence from 1957 – 2008 over orders he was given to fire five missiles at a gigantic UFO over Great Brittan in 1957 is well known to the UFO community.

This is a step towards full disclosure and is an exciting time if you are a UFO researcher.  Not only does this affirm that many in the military have seen UFO’s, but also that a program of threatening and silence has governed how the US government has handled UFO cases for the past eighty years.  I can’t help but be happy to see this environment start to take root, and find myself quoting folk singer Bob Dylan, “Times they are a’ changing…”

The Darkness at Castle Houska

Castle Houska

     Deep within the dark forests and swamps of the Czech Republic stands a mysterious place.  Thought by local inhabitants to be the gateway to hell for hundreds of years, it is known as Castle Houska.  The location chosen for this castle is highly unusual.  It is completely isolated, does not protect any border or resource, and does not reside on a known trade route or vantage point of any kind.  Why would someone use the significant resources required to construct this castle, but choose to build it in a completely useless and inconsequential plot of land in the middle of nowhere?

Castle Houska is a gothic structure that was likely commissioned by Ottokar II of Bohemia in 1253AD.  The castle was built without access to water, a kitchen, or fortification, and was left completely uninhabited for the first portion of its existence.  It appears the castles primary function, especially the chapel, was to close the unfathomable well or “hole” on the property that was reported to lead to the underworld.  Some of the oldest mural paintings and iron work in Eastern Europe adorn the walls of Castle Houska, and are simply ripe with images of knights slaying dragons, demons, and winged monsters galore.   

Ancient legends have people reporting half-man half-beast creatures crawling out of the earth below where the castle's chapel now sits, and dark winged shapes circling the skies above the courtyard.

Chapel over hell hole

Upon examination of the castle's architecture, it is apparent that the design is completely backwards.  All of the defensive positions are located on the inside of the structure, and are designed much like a prison to keep something in rather than out!  It was so unusual that it did not even contain stairs to the first floor in an attempt to prevent unwanted entities from making it to the ground floor, residents at the time would have had to use ladders or ropes.   The present day owner describes the building as being built like “a cube within a cube, within a cube, with all of its defensive positions faced inward.” The torture room in the basement of the castle, also known as Satan’s office, is even complete with a demonic throne.  The castle is said to be home to a faceless black entity that many have reported is a priest that oversaw the tortures and executions which occurred here.

Numerous reports of shadows, demonic voices, unusual feelings of anxiety, and a host of other visual and auditory anomalies have been reported by visitors and locals for centuries.  To add to the overall macabre nature of Castle Houska, throughout WWII Nazi Germany commandeered the structure and used it not only as a headquarters, but also a laboratory, where fringe physics experiments like dimensional portals, time travel, and various other unusual studies were supposed to have been performed.  When the castle underwent modern renovation, the bodies of three Nazi soldiers were found in the courtyard, all of them had been executed.

In 2009, the SyFy channel aired an episode of Ghost Hunters International that featured Castle Houska.  The teams of investigators were thoroughly bombarded by a string of unexplainable events from start to finish. The investigation left no doubt that Castle Houska displays massive amounts of paranormal activity, and was declared by GHI to be one of the most haunted locations in the world.

  

New Planet Discovery Contridicts NASA's Claim

     For the past several years speculation and conspiracy have raged over the possibility of a phantom planet known as Nibiru or Planet X moving into our solar system.  Believers claim the arrival of this mystery planet was predicted in numerous ancient prophecies including the Egyptian “Death Bringer” and the more popular Sumerian “Nibiru” legends, and its arrival is thought to bring about cataclysmic changes to our Earth. 

This idea has blended seamlessly into the fears of the 2012 Mayan calendar craze that has gripped the public’s attention over the past few years.  Although, until this point no scientific evidence has been reported to support either of these theories and scientists are holding fast to the idea that what the Planet X believers are expecting to occur is “impossible”.   

In an interview with NASA officials they were asked “Is there a planet or brown dwarf called Nibiru, Planet X, or Eris that is approaching the Earth and threatening our planet with widespread destruction?"  NASA officials responded with this answer, “Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist…”

While these reports are reassuring, the developments in space since that time have given a very different spin on this question.  In 2010, the comet Elenin was reported by NASA to be scheduled to orbit dangerously close to the earth, and set off a firestorm of doomsday proclamations.  But some strange anomalies were being shown to be connected with this comet, and numerous theories surfaced that Elenin was having very unusual geomagnetic effects on the earth.  Each time the comet came into alignment with the Earth and the Sun, significant earthquakes occurred somewhere on the planet.  It could definitely be coincidence, but the Chilean, Christchurch, and Japan earthquakes between 2010 and 2011 all occurred when comet Elenin was in alignment with the Earth and Sun.

NASA quickly disapproved these coincidences much like Planet X, saying there was no connection between Elinin and these massive earth quakes.  Although, shortly before Elenin's closest scheduled path to Earth in October 2011, MSNBC reported that comet broke apart and was destroyed in a very unusual way.  Is this evidence that NASA removed the threat from this comet without public knowledge?

In a new discovery on May, 11 2012 the National Geographic reported that astronomers had in fact located a large rogue planet orbiting our solar system, and claim that it is currently hidden behind the planet Neptune.  This discovery was made because of visual disruptions in the orbits of various space objects and the suspected planet is purposed to contain significant mass.

Is this new discovery the giant Nibiru?  Does this herald the coming of the Egyptian “Death Bringer?”  No one can say for sure.  But, unless NASA can pull a proverbial rabbit out of their hat such as with Elenin, we may be hearing a lot more about this rogue planet in the coming months.

Weapon of the Gods

     Atomic energy, the most advanced and destructive weapon technology ever created by modern man, or was it? Researchers from around the globe are studying evidence unearthed in India that may point towards an ancient atomic explosion they claim may have occurred thousands of years ago!

Many modern scientists balk at the thought of such a claim, working harder to disprove the theory than looking at the evidence.  But, ancient stories written in the religious text known as the Mahabharata might have more factual relevance than what was once thought.

Scene from the Mahabharata

India’s history is one that is mysterious and significant in terms of the development of mankind on the planet.  One of the oldest documented civilizations on Earth, India boasts as the birthplace of not one, but four of the world’s oldest and largest religions which include Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism.  The ancient Indian people were also highly advanced in engineering, art, literature and to this day hold one of the most significant cultures ever to exist in terms of worldwide contribution.

This idea that our ancient ancestors may have been in contact with atomic weapons or technology is a far stretch, and is understandably hard for many researchers to wrap their minds around.  But, if science has taught mankind anything, it is to not underestimate the evidence.  Several hundred years ago scientists were certain that the Earth was the center of the universe, that the Sun in fact revolved around the Earth and, if you went too far west you might fall off the planet.  Today, scientists are certain ancient civilizations were not in contact with technologies far beyond their abilities, yet the evidence that they were in possession of knowledge we are just starting to understand is everywhere.  Let’s listen to the evidence then and see what it has to say.   

Bodies discovered at Harappa

In Rajasthan, India a layer of radioactive ash was unearthed that covered an area of 3 square miles, and was discovered after a study of abnormal levels of birth defects and cancer were purported among the inhabitants of the area was conducted.  The levels of radiation were so high, that the Indian government supposedly cordoned off the area.  The excavation of the ancient sites Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro nearby also lend evidence to the idea that something of atomic proportions occurred in this area thousands of years ago.

Ancient alien theorists would like us to believe that these sites are a smoking gun, sure evidence of ET interaction with mankind, but that is not exactly the case.  It is reported that 35 or more highly irradiated human skeletons were discovered on the street level of Mohenjo-Daro when it was excavated.  While it is true that remains were uncovered in unusual settings and placements, only one of these bodies was reported to display high levels of radiation.  Is that a blow to the theory of ancient atomic weapons?  No, because the body that was irradiated was highly irradiated, nearly fifty times the amount it should have been from natural radiation levels.  Couple this with other evidence from the site such as vitrified material known as “Black Stones” that could only have been produced by the type of heat and pressure created in a nuclear blast, and what we are left with is an enigma.  What is most intriguing is that all of this irradiated evidence is present on artifacts that were buried in the desert sands and are thousands of years old.  How did it get there?

Let’s look at what the ancient peoples in the area believed.  What were their theories/stories about what happened in the areas around Mohenjo-Daro?  The Mahabharata is a religious text that dates back as far as 400BCE and is a collection of highly detailed accounts that occurred between men and the Gods that ruled over the area.  The most intriguing portion of these texts which pertain directly to the ancient atomic theory is known as the Bhagavad Gita, and includes information on geography, history, religion, and morality, but more so a detailed description of an 18 day war that was waged by the gods and supposedly devastated the Indian subcontinent.   Below is an excerpt from the Bhagavad Gita describing a weapon unleashed by the gods.

Trinity Test Atomic Explosion

... (it was) a single projectile
Charged with all the power of the Universe.
An incandescent column of smoke and flame
As bright as the thousand suns
Rose in all its splendor...

...it was an unknown weapon,
An iron thunderbolt,
A gigantic messenger of death,
Which reduced to ashes
The entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas.

...The corpses were so burned
As to be unrecognizable.
The hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
And the birds turned white.

After a few hours
All foodstuffs were infected...
....to escape from this fire
The soldiers threw themselves in streams
To wash themselves and their equipment.

We can see right away from reading this passage the gross similarities between what we know to be the effects and description of an atomic weapon made after the attacks on Japan.  Does that mean the “Gods” or ET’s nuked the Earth in the past?  Not at all, but it does warrant looking at the evidence in a more constructive way considering the ancient radioactive material that is beginning to be unearthed.

July 16, 1945 the first known atomic weapon was detonated in the deserts of New Mexico.  The man in charge of the development of this technology was named J. Robert Oppenheimer and was fundamental in the Manhattan Project that brought the weapon into a useable state.  After the tests were completed, and the bomb had been detonated, he was interviewed about his feelings on this earth changing technology.  In a stunning connection, Oppenheimer quoted the Bhagavad Gita. 

Even more interesting, seven years after the trinity tests in New Mexico at Rochester University, a college student asked Dr. Oppenheimer if this (Trinity test) was the first detonation of an atomic weapon.  Oppenheimer replied “In modern times, yes.  Ancient cities, whose brick and stone walls have literally been vitrified, that is, fused together, can be found in India, Ireland, Scotland, France, Turkey and other places. There is no logical explanation for the vitrification of stone forts and cities, except from an atomic blast.”  If the godfather of modern nuclear physics entertained these possibilities, is it irresponsible for us not to do the same?

The Story of the Hopkinsville Goblins

     Kelly Kentucky.... the name does not likely conjure up images of fantastic paranormal activity unless you are a UFO researcher.  But, this sleepy little town was the proverbial birthplace of modern ufology.  The events that unfolded at a rural farmhouse one evening in 1955 would eventually set the stage for researchers and become the standard that all other encounters would be based.  While this story has been told many times, I still find it interesting and pertinent being a resident of Kentucky myself.

Hopkinsville Kentucky

On the evening of August 21, 1955 the Sutton family were entertaining friend Billy Ray Taylor at their small farm near Kelly Kentucky.  The number of individuals at the farm that day included a total of eleven people, five children and six adults.  The group had enjoyed a normal evening having dinner and playing cards, but what would happen later that night would change their lives forever.  

The Sutton's were well known in the area for being honest, hardworking, and religious people, not the type who would make up tales, or who would have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  It was even stated by police and researchers who were on the scene following the events that there is little doubt about the fear the family displayed, and that something had scared these people in a serious kind of way. 

Around 7:00PM, house guest Billy Ray Taylor had gone outside to fetch water from a pump in the yard.  He witnessed a strange series of lights streaking across the sky and landing in the family's field some distance from the house.  Taylor described the lights as looking like a "large saucer, glowing with all the colors of the rainbow."  He was startled by the sight and ran quickly back to the farmhouse to tell everyone what he had seen. 

The Sutton family laughed at Taylor's story thinking he was playing a prank; they reassured him saying it was likely a shooting star.  All was quiet until around 8:00PM, when the family dogs began to bark hysterically outside.  The individuals in the house soon began to hear strange noises, much like something walking on the roof and scratching on the windows.  The family patriarch Elmer "Lucky" Sutton and Billy Ray Taylor grabbed firearms and went outside to investigate the disturbance.

Artists rendition of the showdown.

Several minutes passed as Sutton and Taylor scoured the property from the front porch.  The pair soon saw what was reported as a "little man" emerge from the trees that surrounded the farm.  The two men watched as the creature made its way closer to them and described its appearance as slightly glowing, and being silver or metallic in appearance.  They also claimed the creature had large pointy ears, round eyes, long thin arms with "talon" like hands, and oddly that its legs were very spindly; almost atrophied.  This creature also appeared to defy gravity; it reportedly hovered slightly above the ground, and could move rather quickly with a strange swishing motion of its hips.

The creature came to within 20 feet of the men, at which time a 20 gauge shotgun and a .22 rifle were both repeatedly fired at the creature with no apparent damage being inflicted.  Both Taylor and Sutton claimed that when each round was fired, a sound like "shooting into a metal wash tub” could be heard and the bullets appeared to do no damage whatsoever.  The creature then flipped over, and darted off into the shadow of the woods.  Positive they had wounded the invader, Taylor and Sutton decided to go find it.  Upon stepping off the porch, the men spotted the creature perched on the roof just above where they had been standing.  The two men again opened fire and continued to hear the odd metallic sound when the bullets struck the target; still doing no damage, but they did claim the creature was knocked from the roof.

Elmer's brother J.C Sutton had remained inside the house with the terrified women and children who were hiding with the chaos erupting outside.  J.C had also armed himself with a shotgun by the time Billy Ray and Elmer burst through the front door yelling at everyone to get down and be quiet.  While the two men recounted the events that had unfolded outside, J.C. spotted the creature peeping through a window.  He fired his weapon, breaking the glass and sending the creature flipping backwards.

Three witnesses to the event.  Elmer "Lucky" Sutton is in the center.

Over the next few hours, at least two of the entities had been spotted at once and the family claimed there could have been as many as fifteen.  The creatures made several assaults on the house, popping up at windows and doorways and scurrying across the rooftop.  Many of the children and women that were hiding had never actually seen the attackers, but of the eleven people in the house, seven of them had visual contact with the creatures. 

The family matriarch Ms. Lankford then advised everyone to stop the hostilities, claiming "They haven't hurt anyone, or come in the house." and after several minutes of debate, the family gathered the courage to flee to their automobiles and drove madly for thirty minutes to the sheriff’s office in Hopkinsville Kentucky.  The story gets more efficiently documented beyond this point with numerous reports being filed from different agencies and newspapers. 

At 11pm that evening an unidentified Kentucky State Trooper on patrol near Kelly had reported seeing strange lights hovering in the sky, as well as the sound of what he described as "artillery fire" coming directly from it.  Numerous other civilian reports of unidentified lights and noises were also made to officials that night in the same area.  

PFC Hodson's Sketches

Back at the sheriff’s office, upon hearing the Sutton family's wild story and evaluating that they were sober and sane, a group of twenty deputies followed them back to the farm where an investigation was conducted.  Deputies verified that over one hundred rounds of ammunition had been fired on the property and they had no doubts that something unusual had happened to these people.  At this time, the media and military officials at Fort Campbell were contacted.  The deputies documented a glowing patch along a fence where one of the creatures had been shot and also noted an odd unidentifiable green light in the woods behind the house.  They were able to photograph the suspected "bloodstain", but a sample was never able to be recovered.  The stain had mysteriously disappeared by noon the following day.

Project Blue Book File

Officials questioned neighboring farm owners and many of the people described seeing strange lights, hearing noises, and verified the gun battle at the Sutton's farm.  The following morning, M.P.s and investigators including Pfc. Gary F. Hodson arrived from Fort Campbell, the military took statements, and made sketches of the creatures using descriptions from the family.  The U.S. Government's Project Blue Book, which is known to be very critical, and has debunked many UFO cases throughout the years also took an interest in the story and opened a case file a short time later.  But after investigating at the Sutton farm, they were also unable to determine what really happened to the family on that night.  To this day the Kelly Kentucky case is listed as open and unidentified with the United States Air Force and Project Blue Book, and has never been explained.

To further lend believability to their story, the Sutton's moved away from the farm the following year, and never attempted to profit or exploit the popularity that followed the story in any way.  Below is a lengthy video that dramatizes the events that took place that night.

Solar UFO Sightings Point to Possible NASA Cover-up!

     New pictures have emerged from NASA, again showing an unidentified object hovering close to the Sun.  The release of this image was closely preceded by the $700 billion space viewing device (SOHO) that shot the footage being taken off-line.  UFO researchers are touting this as solid proof that NASA is trying to cover up the incident, and are pushing for an explanation. 

 This story originally began on April 24, when reports surfaced on the internet showing photographs of a large UFO hovering near our Sun.  The images were captured by NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) .  The sophisticated (SOHO) device is used according to NASA “- to study the internal structure of the Sun, its extensive outer atmosphere and the origin of the solar wind…)  Although, the project does not fall completely under the NASA umbrella of control. (SOHO) was co-designed, funded, and is partially operated by various European scientists and the European Space Agency.

According to FOX News, officials for the United States Naval Research Laboratory dismissed the object in the first (SOHO) photograph shown below as an anomaly on the camera equipment.  Nathan Rich, the lead engineer for the NRL’s solar physics division, claims this is caused by streaks left from cosmic rays; charged particles that disrupt the cameras sensors.  But more interestingly, he states "these artifacts do not persist from image to image..."

 Rich's last statement is so interesting because more than a week later, images of a similar UFO are again captured by (SOHO) and exposed on YouTube by an amateur follower of the space observatory.  The video's creator alleges that NASA took (SOHO) off-line to prevent anyone else from seeing the UFO just one day after this video began to make its rounds across the internet. He states, “It’s too much of a coincidence I find this on the 3rd of May 2012, and they break their telescope the following day.”  More information can be found at Gather.com. 

NASA released the following statement on the shut down:

"SOHO went into 'Emergency Sun Reacquisition' mode on Friday May 4, 2012, caused by a false trigger of the Coarse Sun Pointing Attitude Anomaly Detector. We are working on the recovery of the spacecraft to normal mode."

Even more curious is the fact the live web cams connected to (SOHO) were down for some of the biggest solar storms of the century according to MSNBC, and then went down again on May 08, for Emergency Sun Reacquisition.  All of this solar activity, combined with possible footage of UFO's hovering around the sun, leads one to believe that even if the UFO's can be explained away that something unusual is still going on with our sun that NASA may not want the public to see. 

Triangle UFO Sightings On the Rise?

Over the years, we have continually heard reports trickling out of the mainstream media about sightings of triangular shaped UFO's plaguing the airspace above cities all over the world.  The US government has struggled to spin these reports away as flares or swamp gas, but high level officials like former Arizona governor Fife Symington are coming clean and admitting publicly that what people are witnessing is truly unidentifiable. 

Large sightings like the "Phoenix Lights"  which occurred in March 1997 and included over 10,000 eyewitness reports, have made their way into pop culture with movies, books, and merchandise promoting the event.  But, sightings of these lights have not been confined to the American southwest. Hundreds of reports have come in over the past thirty years from all over the earth, and so far the spring of 2012 is not letting us down.

On April 26, 2012 the video above was captured by a passenger on an airplane over England.  The individual reported seeing a large triangular shaped formation of lights outside the cabin of their plane.  This video shows actual footage of a craft that has been repeatedly reported by passengers and pilots on commercial aircraft for years.

A few days later on April 28, in the small town of Independence Mo. an eyewitness reported seeing a triangular craft moving slowly across the sky according to Examiner.com.  The witness claimed, “It was very odd -- a triangular-shaped flying object that had two blinking lights in the rear only.  There were no other lights on the craft like you would see on a plane."  Unfortunately, there were no video or photographs available to document the sighting.

The following video was shot recently on May 02, 2012 and shows a triangular craft caught on tape that was also reported at Gather.com.   According to the witness, it occurred in broad daylight over Sydney Australia and lasted over four minutes!

The facts are that the US government and others around the world test and produce top secret aircraft. The possibility of these triangular UFO’s being misidentified is surely a possibility, but the sheer size and silence of the proposed craft, as well as the frequency of the sightings leads one to believe that the public may not be getting the full story either way.

    
Are all of these sightings mere coincidence?  What are the odds that military flares are the cause of these events like the US military has proposed?  Are they extraterrestrial?  No one seems able or willing to identify these sightings with any certainty, and the explanations given by officials is less than underwhelming.  There are no clear answers, and even fewer individuals in the government willing to come forward, so it appears that for the time being, these unusual craft and lights will continue to be a mystery.
