New Daytime UFO Over Jerusalem Video

Uploaded by Youtube.com/user/greenbananaful

This new UFO over Jerusalem video was uploaded to YouTube a few days ago and it is a very impressive daytime sighting of what has been coming out of the region recently.

It looks very similar to the night time UFOs filmed in the area. Here are three recent Jerusalem UFO sightings synced up.

Irish Astronomer Claims He Has Successfully Tracked UFO’s & Predict When They Will Appear

A BOYLE-BASED astronomer and scientist has published controversial findings showing evidence of space craft following defined paths around the earth, and over Boyle, based on years of data and recordings from the local area and further afield.

Eamonn Ansbro is attracting considerable national media attention for a discovery and breakthrough in his research into extraterrestrial existence.

Mr Ansbro, who has been researching the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence for more then 20 years, has given presentations on his work across the globe, including a presentation to the French government, and said that while his work may prove controversial it was carried out “scientifically”.

His work has been published by the European Space Agency. He works as part of a global group of scientists, OSETI (Optical Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence).

Mr Ansbro has set up an “all sky camera” comprised of eleven cameras that monitor the whole sky hemisphere around the clock to record anything that moves around or is unusual. He said that he along with other scientists had collated data to suggest that extraterrestrial spacecraft were a reality and are circumnavigating the earth.

“We haven’t proven our discovery to the scientific community yet and don’t have the resources but we can show that extraterrestrial space craft are on specific orbital tracks around the earth,” Mr Ansbro told the Herald.

He refers to the extraterrestrial probes as ‘Identified Flying Objects’ or IFOs rather than UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) and said that he had tested existing theories that these objects followed defined orbital tracks around the earth at specific times.

“When you take all that data and apply it to this theory we have found that it fits with the computerised time graphs and that we can predict when future sightings will occur and we have found that it has happened in Boyle,” he explained.

Mr Ansbro said that there had been sightings in the Boyle area in 1997 and that he had carried out a further 10 investigations into local sightings since then. In total he has investigated 120 cases over the past 20 years.

Mr Ansbro also said that given the strength of the research in the local area there was huge potential to put Boyle on the world map by establishing a UFO and science centre in the town.

He said that previous proposals to develop such a facility at King House had the potential to see the historic house becoming a major world tourist attraction and that he was open to getting involved with such a venture.

Mr Ansbro said that it needn’t cost Roscommon County Council anything to set up because funding was available from Europe and agencies, such as the European Space Agency.

He said that the proposal could really work at King House because of the volume of local scientific data recorded in the Boyle area over the past decade.

“The tourism potential is huge,” he said, drawing comparisons with the UFO centre in Roswell New Mexico, which attracts huge numbers of visitors every year and also another UFO centre in Japan.

April 28 2011 : UFO Filmed Over Apsheronsk, Russia

April 28 2011 : UFO Filmed Over Apsheronsk, Russia

A UFO was seen over the city of Apsheronsk in the south of Russia by a number of witnesses. At least three individuals managed to filmy the clearly visible craft. The sighting occurred in the evening as is obvious from the footage below.

Apsheronsk lies not far from the Black see where it has been suggested by de-classified military documents that a UFO base might exist. Some observers have suggested that the frequency of UFO sightings in this region of Russia is also connected to natural resources in the area that might be of interest to alien visitors.

Recently a number of inquiries have been made by the public to the Interior Ministry requesting information on the extent of a secret alien presence in Russia, however the ministry denies all knowledge of such matters.

Yuri Litvanov worked for fifteen years as a document handler for the ministry and noted “I can say that this is not the case, for certain. They do know something”.

UFO Spotted Hovering Over Royal Wedding Location, Filmed By Tourist

UFO Spotted Hovering Over Royal Wedding Location, Filmed By Tourist


A tourist in London filmed a UFO hovering over Westminster Abbey – the venue for tomorrow’s Royal Wedding.

The 2½-minute video footage shows a shimmering white object in a cloudless blue sky near Big Ben.

It seems to move and shift shape – but to have three sections, like the starship USS Enterprise from TV’s Star Trek.

The tourist who posted it on the internet wrote: “First we thought it was a parachute but it was way too high up.

“It changed shape but stayed there for at least 30 minutes. Then I lost sight of it.”

The sighting emerged shortly after a retired US Air Force major predicted extra-terrestrials would visit Earth to see Wills and Kate tie the knot.

UFO researcher George Filer said mystery craft were often spotted during major world events.

He claimed he had already been tipped off by RAF pilots about an increasing number of recent sightings over the English Channel.

British UFO expert Nick Pope, who worked for the Ministry of Defence, said: “I think it should be investigated if it’s feared it could be a threat to the Royals.”

Video Description :

19.03.2011 – While visiting London with our family, my daughter spotted a small white ‘thing’ across London sky. We are standing with our back to Tower of ‘Big Ben’. First we thought it was a parachute, but it was way to high up in the sky. As i zoomed in it looked like a cloud that changed shape. It stayed there for at least about 30 minutes. As the rest of the family wanted to proceed with the tour, i was not able to check how long it stayed there during the day. I lost sight of it.
If you look closely you will also initally see a small white spot next to it in the first frames(top-left). What did I see? Is it just a cloud? Why did it stay so long in one place. Is there a sientific explanation? – Sony DV digital Handycam, 120x digital zoom: DCR-TRV24E -

One Hundred Ancient Maya Buildings Detected Under Guatemala Rain Forest

Hidden for centuries, the ancient Maya city of Holtun, or Head of Stone, is finally coming into focus.

 

Three-dimensional mapping has “erased” centuries of jungle growth, revealing the rough contours of nearly a hundred buildings, according to research presented earlier this month.

Though it’s long been known to locals that something—something big—is buried in this patch of Guatemalan rain forest, it’s only now that archaeologists are able to begin teasing out what exactly Head of Stone was.

Using GPS and electronic distance-measurement technology last year, the researchers plotted the locations and elevations of a seven-story-tall pyramid, an astronomical observatory, a ritual ball court, several stone residences, and other structures.

Buried Pyramid

From about 600 B.C. to A.D. 900, Head of Stone—which is about three-quarters of a mile (1 kilometer) long and a third of a mile (0.5 kilometer) wide—was a bustling midsize Maya center, home to about 2,000 permanent residents.

But today its structures are buried under several feet of earth and plant material and are nearly invisible to the untrained eyed.

Even Head of Stone’s three-pointed pyramid—once one of the city’s most impressive buildings—”just looks like a mountain enveloped in forest,” said study leader Kovacevich, who presented the findings at a meeting of the Society for American Archaeology in Sacramento, California.

Jungle Thick as Thieves

Head of Stone is so well hidden, in fact, that archaeologists didn’t learn of it until the early 1990s, and only because they were following the trails of looters who had discovered the site first—perhaps after farmers had attempted to clear the area, according to Kovacevich.

For thieves, the main attractions were massive stucco masks measuring up to ten feet (three meters) tall. Uncovered as looters dug tunnels into the buried city, the heads once adorned some of Head of Stone’s most important buildings.

The temple, Kovacevich said, “would have had these really fabulously, elaborately painted stucco masks flanking the two sides of the stairway that represented human figures, snarling jaguars,” and other forms.

During the Preclassic period, Head of Stone’s important public buildings would have been painted primarily in blood reds, bright whites, and mustard yellows, the University of Calgary’s Reese-Taylor said. Murals of geometric patterns or scenes from myth or daily life would have covered some of the buildings, she added.

During special events at Head of Stone, such as the crowning of a king or the naming of a royal heir, “there would have been a lot of people—not only the 2,000 people living at the site itself but all the people from surrounding areas as well. So, several thousand people,” Reese-Taylor said.

Thick gray smoke and the smell of burning incense would have filled the air. Gazing up at the temple top through this haze, a visitor might have seen “ritual practitioners” performing dances and sacred rituals while adorned with elaborate feathered costumes and jade jewelry.

During the solstices or equinoxes, the crowds would have moved farther south and higher up in the city, surrounding the buildings that made up the astronomical observatory.

The researchers, though, are directing their gaze downward. This summer they hope to begin excavating residential structures and the observatory, as well as to possibly remove the undergrowth from the main temple.

And, by using ground-penetrating radar, they hope to bring Head of Stone into even sharper relief.

By seeing through soil the way the previous mapping project saw through trees and brush, radar should reveal not just the rounded shapes of the city but the hard outlines of the buildings themselves.
