Strange Flames on the International Space Station - June 21, 2013

Fire, it is often said, is mankind's oldest chemistry experiment.

For thousands of years, people have been mixing the oxygen-rich air of Earth with an almost endless variety of fuels to produce hot luminous flame.

Flames are hard to understand because they are complicated. In an ordinary candle flame, thousands of chemical reactions take place.

The familiar teardrop shape of the flame is an effect caused by gravity. Hot air rises and draws fresh cool air behind it. This is called buoyancy and is what makes the flame shoot up and flicker.

But what happens when you light a candle, say, on the International Space Station (ISS)?

In microgravity, flames burn differently—they form little spheres.

Recently, Williams and colleagues were doing an ISS experiment called "FLEX" to learn how to put out fires in microgravity when they came across something odd. Small droplets of heptane were burning inside the FLEX combustion chamber. As planned, the flames went out, but unexpectedly the droplets of fuel continued burning. They seemed to be burning without flames.

Ordinary, visible fire burns at a high temperature between 1500K and 2000K. Heptane flame balls on the ISS started out in this "hot fire" regime. But as the flame balls cooled and began to go out, a different kind of burning took over.

Cool flames burn at the relatively low temperature of 500K to 800K and their chemistry is completely different. Normal flames produce soot, CO2 and water. Cool flames produce carbon monoxide and formaldehyde.

It is possible that some unidentified flying orbs/spheres are related to ‘cool flame’ processes? sciencenasagov

Amazing UFO over Santee, California - May 23, 2013

SANTEE, San Diego, Calif. - 10News went looking for answers after a local woman snapped photos of an unidentified object flying over Santee.

Ellen Henry told 10News her camera stopped working after snapping photos at a historical barn.

Henry said she is convinced that whatever she saw hovering over Santee's Edgmoore Barn is not from this world. She did not want to show her face on camera because she said she was still spooked by what she captured.

"I was like what was it doing there," said Henry. "Why was it there? What was it doing? And I said, the next time I come here, the barn will be beamed up."

The barn sits under several flight paths. 10News contacted Gillespie Field and MCAS Miramar, but neither could offer an explanation:

Some say what flew overhead is not out of the ordinary because of what has been reported around the barn.

"We think someone's come into the barn and we get up to look, and no one is there," said Elaine Murphy, president of the Santee Historical Society.

The group, which oversees the barn-turned-museum, said the property used to be part of a poor farm and hospital grounds. It also draws paranormal investigators because of reported ghost sightings.

Some residents are weighing in on the idea of a UFO hovering over a haunted barn.

"Oh yeah, I do believe we are not alone out here, that's for sure," said one resident.

10News checked with the National UFO Reporting Center and found that only one UFO sighting has been reported in San Diego during the month of May.

UFO Sightings In Canada On The Rise 2013

UFO sightings in Canada are at an all-time high, according to Canadian sky-gazers.

The annual report from Ufology Research documented 1,981 UFO sightings in Canada in 2012, more than double 2011's record 986.

Chris Rutkowski, a civilian science writer who has produced the Canadian UFO survey since 1989, has just finished compiling all of 2012 reports.

"It's something across the board," said Rutkowski. "People in Canada were actually looking up into the sky more than in previous years."

The objects people witness come in a variety of forms — from triangles and balls of fire, to the more traditionally ovoid-shaped flying saucers, hovering in the sky.X 40% of Canada's UFOs were spotted in Ontario.

Adam Canning, 10, of Lake Charlotte, N.S., is one of the many hundreds of Canadians who are reporting UFOs. He said the UFO he witnessed with a friend earlier this year looked like an orb.

"I could see it in the distance for about a minute and then like boom, it went really fast," said Adam, standing on a hill near his house, pointing at the sky.

 Several Ufology experts say if the number of sightings keeps rising, Ottawa will have to pay attention.

Witnesses Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident: Interview from Citizen Hearing on Disclosure - May 2, 2013

Around 3 a.m. on 26 December 1980 an Unidentified Flying Object was reported by a security patrol near the East Gate of RAF Woodbridge.

Servicemen initially thought it was a downed aircraft but, upon entering the forest to investigate, they saw many strange lights moving through the trees, as well as a bright light from an unidentified object.

After daybreak on the morning of 26 December, servicemen returned to the small clearing where the conical object had been seen, and found three small impressions in a triangular pattern, as well as burn marks and broken branches on nearby trees.

Servicemen from RAF Woodbridge's sister base, RAF Bentwaters, returned to the forest again, following another sighting in the early hours of 28 December 1980.

John Burroughs and Jim Penniston were U.S. Air Force security personnel in late December of 1980 when there was a mass UFO sighting outside of two Royal Air Force bases, RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, that were being used by the U.S. Air Force.

Burroughs and Penniston went out into the Rendlesham forest to investigate unidentified lights. They came across a craft that Penniston actually touched before it lifted up above the trees and took off at a very fast speed.

In the interview below, Penniston and Burroughs explain how they have had problems obtaining their service and medical records during the time of the UFO event. (Interview from citizen Hearing on Disclosure May 2, 2013, (from left) John Burroughs, Jim Penniston, and Nick Pope via Skype. They are currently participating in the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in Washington D.C.)

 

The deputy base commander Lt Col Charles I. Halt recorded the events on a micro-cassette recorder. The site investigated by Halt was near the eastern edge of the forest, at approximately 52° 05 20 N, 1° 26 57 E.

 Video below, Charles Halt full audio tape...

 

Later, lights were seen in the sky to the north and south, the brightest of which beamed down a stream of light.

Airbus almost crashing with UFO over Glasgow UK - Apr 30, 2013

An airbus carrying with about 180 passengers over Scotland came within just 300ft of colliding with a UFO, an official probe has revealed. 

The plane was less than 10 seconds away from hitting the object as it flew over Baillieston on the outskirts of Glasgow at 3,500ft and prepared to land. 

The shocked pilot reported the collision risk as ‘high’.

The A320 was descending into Glasgow in clear conditions with the sun behind, when both the plane’s pilots saw an object described by the crew as blue, yellow and silver and then it flew underneath the jet before the pilot had any time to react.

The controller stated he was not talking to anyone else in that area and nothing was seen on radar.

The pilots suggested the object may have been a glider or microlight, but investigators rejected this.

UFO Attack at Naval Base in Cape Town? - April, 2013

An UFO captured on video for about 40 minutes was sighted over the naval base in Simon’s Town Naval Base, Cape Town when hundreds of rounds were fired into the air at around 9 pm Saturday night ( 6th April 2013). 

It is unclear whether the firing was aimed at the UFO but its certain that the UFO did not respond. 

The video captured by a resident shows an object that could be either cylindrical or “V” shaped directly above the sea, while flairs are shot at it. The UFO made no sound and was about a mile offshore. 

By estimation the UFO or USO is about 4 miles long and possibly the largest unidentified flying object recorded. The UFO(s) seems to have some stealth capability as they were not visible with the naked eye till captured with a Night vision AX Professional IR camcorder. 

The new footage released by World News Tomorrow USA caused havoc in the UFO world, as it seems to prove that there was indeed some aggressive firing, on what seems to appear as a giant UFO. The naval base first dismissed that there was any firing of any sort, however they later changed their statements by saying it was only a navy drill, scheduled months in advance to take place between the hours of 8 pm and 9 pm. The video shown, is clearly different. Read more, including detailed images, here and here 

The Counter Intelligence Agency that investigates paranormal activities in Africa, said that they are looking into this matter.
