This is a UFOs Collation, i.e., a collation of interesting stuff about UFOs (and Aliens or ETs as well) ...


2.0   UFO Haiti — A Confirmed Hoax!

The first item in our UFOs Collation concerns the famous (to ufologists and UFO investigators) so-called "UFO Haiti". This video clip is probably one of the most famous clips on YouTube, even though the creator of the video — who goes by the handle "barzolff814" — subsequently admitted that it's a hoax!


YouTube summary of the video clip:

As for September 10, 2008, rating and viewership are:

UFO Haiti @ YouTube (August 2007)





This first item in our UFOs Collation is to illustrate the reality of having a relatively realistic-looking UFO video being produced by sophisticated computer graphics software by a talented graphic artist and designer ...

I admit that when I first saw the video clip, I was almost taken in by the realism ... until it became obvious that some aspects of the environment (e.g., the trees) look like multiple instantiations from a 'template' ...

Also, come to think about it ... the UFOs look kinda weird!

Anyway, from my computing days (and late hacking nights as well!) — towards earning the Master's degree in Computing Science at Glasgow University (Scotland) — I had some exposure to graphics software that can render realistic images and animations ... and thus after having viewed the above video clip, my respect for "barzolff814", the creator of the "UFO Haiti" video clip, increased tremendously ... I definitely enjoy watching this first item in our UFO Collation!

I can't see much in the above clip "UFO Sighting in Florida. (High quality video)" ... and it's supposed to be high quality! That's one BIG PROBLEM with photographic 'evidence' of these so-called UFOs — what to make of the fuzzy images ... which can just as easily be simple hoaxes!

Who in the scientific community would want to lay their reputation on the line for these kinds of fuzzy 'evidence'???!!! ... Debunkers, professional or otherwise, would have a field day with clips like the above!!!

3.2   "Florida UFO - Solid Proof Of UFOS On film"

The third item in our UFOs Collation is entitled "Florida UFO - Solid Proof Of UFOS On film" ... According to YouTube, this clip is a video response to the above "UFO Sighting in Florida. (High quality video)" ... i.e., the second item in our UFOs Collation.

Same remarks as for the clip "Florida UFO - Solid Proof Of UFOS On film" ...

So far, the last three video clips — about the Florida UFO — in this UFO Collation, have been a waste of time, and, more importantly, bandwidth!

3.4   "real UFO sighting during CNN broadcast"


The next (and fifth) video clip of a UFO, in our UFOs Collation, is entitled "real UFO sighting during CNN broadcast" ... and in this video, a US state governor is involved.

Hmmm ... this is the first UFO video, in our UFOs Collation, that could be said to be slightly more 'meaty' ... by that, I mean that it's got something a little substantive for us to chew on, eh?

This does not mean that I am endorsing any politician ... Perish that thought! But ... hey! I kinda like the humor in this video clip "real UFO sighting during CNN broadcast" ... so that this particular US state (ex-)governor has still got some soul, unlike some politicians whose names we won't mention out of deep shame!

Anyway, now our UFOs Collation is beginning to be more rewarding ...

3.5   "Thank God for FOXNEWS - UFOS ON VIDEO HIGH QUALITY NASA VID"

The sixth video clip in our UFOs Collation involves at least two, if not three, UFOs — in outer space and near a US Space Shuttle, to boot! The clip is entitled "Thank God for FOXNEWS - UFOS ON VIDEO HIGH QUALITY NASA VID" ... this kind of video evidence is interesting in that it's definitely HIGH QUALITY in several ways ... but it is still subject to interpretation ... unless you dispute the meaning of "UFO" as being an UNIDENTIFIED flying object ... what?

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AT 2:00 and 2:30. "ASK THE QUESTION, ASK THE QUESTION" "NO" and then the woman in the background appears to be laughing! at 2:30 she says "WHAT COULD THESE THINGS POSSIBLY BE, I MEAN, ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE WRITING AND SAYING" then the other guy comes and goes "SATTELITES!" she acts surprised: "SATTELITES? COULD THEY BE SATTELITES?" the chick again is asking questions: "But I dont recall seeing this in recent missions, is this just something that happens frequently and is not reported" the NASA astronaut says "occasionally, on my second mission one of these floated by" and he holds up a little tiny wrench...This is beyond ridiculous

I guess that's why these "flying objects" are called UNIDENTIFIED for a good reason ... meaning they are of an unknown origin, right? Right! So, a UFO is a UFO, right? Right again!

Oh yes ... the reporter is kinda cute-looking ... no, make that VERY GOOD LOOKING! I am referring to that lady with the Scottish name ... KIM MCINTYRE ... wonder if she's related to that famous Thai singer in Thailand? You know? ... Thongchai "Bird" McIntyre ... born Albert Thongchai McIntyre ... who — according to Wikipedia — "is also sometimes known as Bird Thongchai, Thongchai McIntyre ..., Pi Bird (elder brother Bird) or (Daddy Bird) or simply Bird The Superstar No.1 of Thailand. The artist singing the most successful in Thailand .Sales of albums from more than 20 million copies." (sic; direct quotation from Wikipedia) Oh well ... both KIM and Bird Thongchai are equally good-looking and talented! Kudos to them! Let's have more video clips of them! Especially of KIM — with more UFOs videos to include into our UFOs Collation.

3.6   "Astronaut Buzz Aldrin Recounts Apollo 11 UFO Encounter"

The seventh item in our UFOs Collation is entitled "Astronaut Buzz Aldrin Recounts Apollo 11 UFO Encounter" ... Now, this is quality material in our UFOs Collation ... i.e., the UFO sighting was made in outer space by the Apollo space crew, including or involving the US astronaut, the famous Buzz Aldrin.

NASA's fear of public ridicule is understandable, so that any admission by any NASA employee or member, even by an ex-employee or ex-member, takes on a new significance ... Hurrah for Buzz Aldrin, both for his fierce loyalty to NASA ... and an even greater loyalty to The Truth ... which is certainly OUT THERE ... somewhere ... and may have already reached Planet Earth, if we are to believe in these UFO sightings, including the serious ones in our UFOs Collation.

For my money, whenever someone as serious and possessing a certain celebrity status of the serious kind (or RIGHT STUFF) as Buzz Aldrin comes forward with anything about UFOs, it is certainly useful to pay close attention ... so check out Aldrin's revelation, not only in this UFOs Collation but elsewhere as well.

3.7   "Buzz Aldrin Talks w/ Jim Clash about UFO Sighting"

The eighth item in our UFOs Collation is entitled "Buzz Aldrin Talks w/ Jim Clash about UFO Sighting" ... It is a television talk show involving US astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

There you have it ... NASA astronaut (retired) Buzz Aldrin saying that the "flying object" was not only artificial ("manmade" he calls it), but it was definitely UNDIENTIFIED ... As we Chinese say, eighth is the lucky number ... and this particular video, our eighth video in our UFOs Collation, is our lucky video! UFOs did exist back in the Apollo days ... UFOs probably continue to exist today ... I wonder what it all mean?! (You tell me!)

3.8   "Ancient Structure On The Moon Filmed By Armstrong, 1969"

Our ninth item in our UFOs Collation is provocatively entitled "Ancient Structure On The Moon Filmed By Armstrong, 1969" ... This clip was uploaded to YouTube back in March 2007 ... but I still have no real 100% confirmation as to whether the clip is a hoax or not. Do you?

The "Info" provided by "NAlexo" is a little cryptic, to say the least ... Does anyone really understand it fully? This ninth video clip in our UFOs Collation is certainly intriguing ... and mysterious!

All of the (above) video clips in this UFOs Collation were selected to give an idea that, while it is certainly possible to construct realistic-looking video clips of UFOs (as the first item in our UFOs Collation shows), there are certainly intriguing pointers that SOMETHINGS ARE OUT THERE ... and those things are both flying and unidentified!


4.0   Unidentified flying object — Adapted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Wikipedia - Free online encyclopediaKeywords:
"Unidentified flying object, Articles with unsourced statements since August 2008, Articles with unsourced statements since June 2008, Unidentified flying object, Wikinewshas / Unidentified flying object, 1561,1870,1878,1882,1904,1926"

An Unidentified Flying Object, or UFO, is the popular term for any aerial phenomenon that cannot immediately be identified.

Some definitions, such as the one used by the USAF, define a UFO as an object unable to be identified after scrutiny.

Other definitions define an object as being a UFO from the time it is first reported as being unidentified, even though most subsequently become IFOs, Identified Flying Objects.

Reports of unidentified aerial phenomena date back to ancient times, but modern reports and the first official investigations began during World War II with sightings of so-called foo fighters by Allied airplane crews, and in 1946 with widespread sightings of European "ghost rockets".

UFO reports became even more common after the first widely publicized United States UFO sighting, by private pilot Kenneth Arnold in mid 1947.

Hundreds of thousands of UFO reports have since been made worldwide.

Since its introduction the term [UFO] has become heavily associated with flying saucers and alien spacecraft, though an object may be classified as a UFO independently of opinion as to its origins.
The extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) is the hypothesis that some UFOs are best explained as being creatures or space aliens from other planets occupying physical spacecraft visiting Earth. A number of organizations such as NICAP and the Condon Committee have been set up to actively study UFO sightings and abductions reports in relation to ETH.



Extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) - UFOs - CIA Training Manual

Most military and civilian UFO investigations concluded that the majority of objects can be identified either directly, or by applying Occam's Razor.
Occam's razor (sometimes spelled Ockham's razor) is a principle attributed to the 14th-century English logician and Franciscan friar, William of Ockham.

The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory.

Ufology

Ufology is a neologism describing the collective efforts of those who study UFO reports and associated evidence. While not all UFO researchers believe that all UFOs are necessarily extraterrestrial spacecraft, they do believe the area merits research and that the possibility of extraterrestrial spacecraft should be taken seriously.


Conspiracy theories

UFOs are sometimes an element of elaborate conspiracy theories in which governments are said to be intentionally covering up the existence of aliens, or sometimes collaborating with them. There are many versions of this story; some are exclusive, while others overlap with various other conspiracy theories.

In the U.S., opinion polls again indicate that a strong majority of people believe the U.S. government is withholding such information. Various notables have also expressed such views. Some examples are astronauts Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell, Senator Barry Goldwater, Vice Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter (the first CIA director), Lord Hill-Norton (former British Chief of Defense Staff and NATO head), the 1999 high-level French COMETA report by various French generals and aerospace experts, and Yves Sillard (former director of the French space agency CNES, new director of French UFO research organization GEIPAN).

There is also speculation that UFO phenomena are tests of experimental aircraft or advanced weapons.[citation needed] In this case UFOs are viewed as failures to retain secrecy, or deliberate attempts at misinformation: to deride the phenomenon so that it can be pursued unhindered. This explanation may or may not feed back into the previous one, where current advanced military technology is considered to be adapted alien technology (see also: skunk works and Area 51).
Skunk Works is a term first coined in 1943 by Lockheed, currently trademarked by Lockheed Martin and widely used in business, engineering, and technical fields to describe a group within an organization given a high degree of autonomy and unhampered by bureaucracy, tasked with working on advanced or secret projects.

***

Area 51 is a remote tract of land in the southwestern portion of southern Nevada in the western United States. Situated at its center, on the southern shore of Groom Lake, a dry lakebed (salt lake), is a large military airfield and one of the most secretive places in the world. The base's primary purpose is to support development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems.

The base lies within the United States Air Force's vast Nevada Test and Training Range. ...

Other names used for the facility include Dreamland, Paradise Ranch, Home Base, Watertown Strip, Groom Lake and most recently Homey Airport. The area is part of the Nellis Military Operations Area, and military pilots refer to the forbidden airspace around it (R-4808N) as The Box.

The intense secrecy surrounding the base, the very existence of which the U.S. government barely acknowledges, has led it to become the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and UFO folklore.

It has also been suggested by a few paranormal authors that all or most human technology and culture is based on extraterrestrial contact. See also ancient astronauts.
Ancient astronaut theories or paleocontact are various proposals that intelligent extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth and that this contact is linked to the origins or development of human cultures, technologies and/or religions.

Some of these theories suggests that the deities from most — if not all — religions are actually extraterrestrial beings, and their technologies were taken as evidence of their divine status.

Ancient astronaut theories have not received support within the scientific community, and have garnered little or no attention in peer-reviewed studies from scientific journals. These theories have been popularized, particularly in the latter half of the 20th century, by writers Erich von Däniken, Zecharia Sitchin and others.

Ancient astronaut theories have been widely used in science fiction.

UFOs in popular culture

UFOs constitute a widespread international cultural phenomenon of the last half-century.

Gallup polls rank UFOs near the top of lists for subjects of widespread recognition.

In 1973, a survey found that 95 percent of the public reported having heard of UFOs, whereas only 92 percent had heard of US President Gerald Ford in a 1977 poll taken just nine months after he left the White House. (Bullard, 141)

A 1996 Gallup poll reported that 71 percent of the United States population believed that the government was covering up information regarding UFOs.

A 2002 Roper poll for the Sci Fi channel found similar results, but with more people believing UFOs were extraterrestrial craft. In that latest poll, 56 percent thought UFOs were real craft and 48 percent that aliens had visited the Earth. Again, about 70 percent felt the government was not sharing everything it knew about UFOs or extraterrestrial life.

Another effect of the flying saucer type of UFO sightings has been Earth-made flying saucer craft in space fiction, for example the Earth-made craft Starship C-57D in Forbidden Planet, and the saucer part of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek.

Billy's UFOs / Aliens BlogThe Commercialization of Shag Harbor
Wednesday September 10, 2008

In 1967, one of the most intriguing cases of a UFO crash occurred in the small fishing village of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia. This small village has followed suit with other well know UFO locations in making the most of their notoriety. A number of people find this monetization disgusting, feeding off of what they consider a case that is not noteworthy. Yet, the Shag Harbor event has stood the test of time as well as any other, and there are some aspects of it that set it above many of the other "set in stone" UFO events.

After an identified object crashed into the icy Atlantic waters, a number of local fishermen rushed their boats into the ocean, thinking they would find a crashed plane, and possibly survivors. What they found was something entirely different — a trail of foamy, yellow water, and no visible wreckage of a plane, or any other object. The Royal Canadian Air Force soon was on the scene, and conducted a well documented investigation. Their documents actually proclaimed the object as a UFO, a rarity in UFO case files.

Nova Scotia village uses UFO sighting to lure tourists

Allison Hanes, National Post
www.canada.com/topics/travel/story.html?id=a8ebf9b2-ba6f-4ee8-8b77-2b1de28f1612

Canada.com -- Travel -- UFOs /  Aliens -- Shag Harbour

SHAG HARBOUR, N.S. — Like all the picturesque fishing villages strung along Nova Scotia's breathtaking south shore, Shag Harbour is a place of weathered cottages perched atop rocky cliffs offering vistas of the Atlantic.

But what sets it apart from other seaside hamlets (other than its frequent inclusion on lists of funny place names) are the little green men.

There is a little green man standing guard outside the post office named Alvin. And there is a three-foot-tall green man at the side of the highway -- a plywood cut-out that beckons travellers to stop in at the Shag Harbour Incident Museum and Research Centre.

"The Incident" as it is referred to in these parts, is the strange occurrence of Oct. 4, 1967, when locals witnessed strange lights hovering in the sky before a dark object appeared to plunge into the ocean.

Shag Harbour residents were convinced a plane had crashed and they jumped into their fishing boats to search for survivors.

But all the fishermen found was a strange fluorescent foam floating on the water that evaporated when they tried to collect it.

The navy, air force, Coast Guard and RCMP continued the search in the morning and for days to come before calling it off, saying they came up empty-handed.

"At least that was their story," said Cindy Nickerson, chairwoman of Shag Harbour Incident Society, chuckling.

Today the mystery of the Unidentified Flying Object endures -- in both the literal and mythological sense -- as Canada's Roswell.

[...]

Don Ledger, a Nova Scotia writer who co-authored a book about The Incident a number of years ago, said two things set the Shag Harbour event apart from many other UFO reports.

"First, it was the RCAF [Royal Canadian Air Force] documents that had margin notes designating the incident as a UFO sighting -- underlined three times. In other words, it was a reversal of the normal process of the civilian witnesses reporting a UFO and the authorities claiming a prosaic explanation," Mr. Ledger said. "Secondly, unlike all other UFO cases I've come in contact with, this case was heavily government documented."

Among locals -- both those who saw the lights in the sky that night and those who have heard the tale, Ms. Nickerson said opinion about the incident varies. But perhaps all the little green men about town offer a hint.


6.0   "UFO Mysteries" — From Space.com

The description about the website Space.com says "Space.com explains UFO, UFOs, UFO pictures, UFO sightings and UFO video".

A
UFO is a general term used for any “unidentified flying object” in the sky which cannot be discerned by an observer . Most UFOs remain classified as so even after they have been investigated. The UFO phenomenon dates back as far as the beginning of recorded history, but UFO sightings have significantly increased since the mid 1940s.

From UFO videos to UFO pictures, stories and other real life accounts, thousands of people from all walks of life claim to have seen these mysterious aerial phantoms. Many UFO sightings turn out to be nothing at all, mere airplanes, meteors or comets; however, many sightings have gone unsolved for decades or even centuries.

The term “flying saucer” came into popular use after American Kenneth Arnold claimed a UFO sighting on June 24, 1947 near Mount Rainier, Washington. Arnold claimed to have seen as many as nine brightly lit objects soaring across the sky at speeds he estimated as up to 1200 miles per hour. Arnold also reported that the objects appeared to have a disc or “saucer” appearance. No final conclusion has ever been reached in the case.

One of the most famous UFO incidents to date also occurred in 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico. After unidentified debris was recovered from the property of a Roswell ranch, the Roswell Army Airfield issued a statement saying that a “flying disk” had been discovered. The airfield retracted the statement just hours later, claiming it was just a weather balloon. This sparked local and nation-wide rumors of an alleged government cover-up of an alien UFO that had crashed in the New Mexico desert. No definitive proof has been produced to this day to support that theory.

Four Points to Note

  1. Recently, we added a simple blog so that you know the latest changes. To get the updates automatically, CLICK HERE to subscribe to our RSS (you will get a new window or 'tab'). Thanks and cheers!
  2. Please do not assume or conclude that, just because I present many views (in the form of textual notes and video clips) on this website, it means that I am in agreement with or that I believe in the views offered-proferred ... That would be displaying such a parochial and provincial attitude, towards this website and towards me as well!

    As an ex-military officer, I assure you that I am in the habit of reading, viewing and digesting lots of stuff that I don't necessarily believe in ... We call all the stuff we read, view and digest, 'military intelligence' ... The same applies with 'business intelligence' in the business world, of course.

    Our aim, as usual, is to find out what others (including our friends, enemies, competitors, suppliers, strategic partners, business partners, etc.) believe in ... In order to do that effectively, we have to 'get out of the way', so to speak ... we have to remove our humongous ego! ... else we will never ever really have gotten started in our journey of exploration and discovery of the Mysteries of the World .

  3. Here is a sentiment that I am wholeheartedly in agreement with ...
    As I sit down to redo this book for an American audience, what rises before me is last night's dream: I'm in a broad and beautiful land among many trees. It's night. I look up at a huge old tree that's dark against the starry sky in its detail of twig and branch. There is room enough here for all of us, I realize, here in this big, intricately textured park. But I see that some want to cut down the trees and level it out, so huge throngs of people can gather to gaze up at the sun's glare. I watch dark twigs fingering the remote, untouchable stars. A voice speaks: "Don't turn this into a Copernican Garden."

    Waking up, I remember that I went to sleep wondering how to put this book together. And I take "Copernican Garden" to mean a parking lot vista where masses gather to honor the bright sun of traditional science with its old rules as the center of the universe.

    So I will not cut down the trees and level this book out. It is between you and me [or you and I], a conversation as we stroll along in a moonlit fractal garden past webby connections of thought that merge to patterned insight. Here hidden delights nestle in scaling patterns of self-similar but never quite repeating beauty. Here the tree of life hold stars in its branches. No matter how huge, this garden stays human-sized because we have a place in it, you and I.
