A blur of drones and UFOs

Evolving technologies are not only overwhelming our legal and ethical systems, they might also endanger aviation safety. At least, that’s a concern raised by MUFON research director Robert Powell. Here’s the deal:

The infant technology of drone surveillance is challenging civilian and military resources alike/CREDIT: defenceaviation.com

Powell recently compared two Texas UFO incidents from the evening of Sept. 19, 2011. The first occurred in the vicinity of the Dallas-Fort airport, and the second emanated from Austin, some 190 miles south. The sightings were 90 minutes apart, and what impressed him were the detailed quality and consistency of the witness reports, “one from an ex-military man familiar with military aircraft and one from a practicing engineer.”

The Austin observer reported 10-12 triangular shaped, tannish UFOs flying in wingtip formation. He initially thought they were birds, but decided against it because they were moving too fast. The objects roughly matched the Dallas-Fort Worth sighting; assuming they were the same things, that clocked their estimated speed at between 207 and 253 mph.

The problem: They were illuminated solely by a diffusion of ground light as they traveled from north to south.

“What bothers me is, if these are drones, they’re flying into civilian air space without navigational lights,” Powell says. “So far as I’ve been able to tell, there aren’t any procedures in place that address this issue.”

At the FAA regional headquarters in Atlanta, Kathleen Bergen in media relations states in an email that “All aircraft are required to have lights when operating at night unless they have applied for and received an exemption from the applicable regulations. We cannot confirm whether any specific operator has an exemption.”

Those exemptions are broadly addressed, somewhat, in a 2010 press release that provides a glimpse into the enormity of the drone issue and its attendant explosion of acronyms. The FAA categorizes drones as Unmanned Aircraft Systems, or UAS, and has created the Unmaned Aircraft Program Office (UAPO) and the Air Traffic Organization (ATO) to deal with them. “As if December 1, 2010,” it stated, “there were 273 active COAs. The agency has issued COAs in 2010 to 95 users on 72 different aircraft types.”

UFO group to probe Ohioan’s report of fireball

LEXINGTON — A baffling fireball report has gained the attention of an international UFO research agency.

This week, representatives of the Mutual UFO Network will come to Richland County to investigate a report registered with their agency. On Nov. 23, Rick Beverly, of 1431 Graham Road, said he saw what seemed to be a fireball shoot from the sky.

“I was headed north on Graham Road and was right about in front of my house when it happened,” he said. “I was looking toward the East and noticed a big ball of fire fall from the sky. It was cruising.”

Beverly said a red glow lit up a large section of woods behind his home. He called 9-1-1.

The next day, Lt. Michael Vinson, of the Mansfield post of the Ohio Highway Patrol, said multiple agencies, including the Air National Guard, spent hours searching the woods, to no avail.

His story hasn’t changed.

“We never found anything,” he said Tuesday. “Initially, it was reported as an airplane crashing. Then that night we sent troopers and other agencies, but couldn’t find anything. We checked with both Cleveland and Columbus, but found no aircrafts missing. The next day we did an aircraft flyover just to double-check, but there was no sign of wreckage.”

Monday, Mutual UFO Network Chief Field Investigator Thomas Wertman, of the Ohio chapter, spoke with Beverly and set up an appointment to travel to Lexington.

Wertman said a man named Robert Kreiling, who called himself a local astronomer, contacted his organization.

“When we get certain classifications of sightings, they have different priorities,” Wertman said. “We like to come and look at the lay of the land and see if we can find any remnants down there. According to the state patrol, they didn’t see anything, but if we go down there in the daytime we may get a better view. I’m not out there to say everything we see in the sky is a flying saucer, but we would like to take a look at the area.”

MUFON investigates UFO sightings and collects data for use by researchers worldwide. The group promotes research on UFOs and educates the public on UFO phenomena.

Vinson said authorities believed the fireball may have been a meteor.

“It burned for about 45 minutes to an hour,” Beverly said. The woods are about a quarter of a mile behind his home.

It’s not the first time MUFON has looked into a Richland County event.

In 1973, a National Guard helicopter headed to Cleveland Hopkins Airport was just outside Mansfield, near Charles Mill Lake, when one of the crewmen spotted a lighted object he believed was a tower.

Wertman has studied the well-documented event extensively.

“This crewman didn’t think much of it until he noticed the same light again, but it wasn’t blinking like a tower. It was just a constant red light,” he said.

The crewman notified the commander, Lawrence Coyne, who instructed him to keep an eye on the object — which he said soon began coming toward their helicopter at “jet speed.”

“Coyne put the helicopter into a dive. The object stopped right in front of them and began keeping pace with them,” Wertman said.

Suddenly a green light swung around from the object, lighting up the interior of the helicopter.

“Coyne tried to contact Mansfield Lahm and did end up getting an acknowledgment from them, but then the transmit went dead,” Wertman said. “But about 30 seconds later, the object just took off in the direction of Lake Erie.”

Later, the crew was baffled to learn that, although they were nose-diving toward the ground, their helicopter had actually traveled up more than 1,000 feet.

Argentina: Marcos Barraza of Nuestro Pasado Extraterrestre shares with us this document from 1972 – the first official report by Argentina’s “Gendarmería Nacional” concerning a UFO incident.

He writes the following in his blog: “It was on January 2, 2010, during the inauguration of the Nuevo Museo del OVNI (the New UFO Museum) in the city of Victoria that the research staff of VISION OVNI startled the authorities and the public with what is the FIRST OFFICIAL UFO DOCUMENT from Argentina’s Gendarmería Nacional. It is important to examine this document with care. It includes the information, names and surnames, places and details of an encounter between a Gendarmería Aircraft and a UFO, but [particular importance must be given] to Page 4, which explains: “This form… and has the purpose of informing the senior ranks of the Institution for the preparation anf an orderly and updated file of phenomena of this nature (!!!).” Today, thanks to the VISION OVNI team, we are sharing with you this first document, corresponding to the Gendarmeria Argentina. Stay tuned for more!”

12 year cold case: Man under arrest for murder..Law enforcement found Monopoly money with the letters “NWO” and “ZOG” written on the bills.

Twelve years ago, the body of a 21-year-old California woman was discovered off Interstate 80 in Churchill County.

On Dec. 24, Pinole, Calif., police arrested the man who they believe killed Alice Sin, who attended Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, in 1999.

Pinole is located about 12 miles north of Berkeley.

Churchill County District Attorney Art Mallory, whose office has been in contact with prosecutors and police in Pinole since the discovery, said Sin’s body was dumped months before a man checking mining claims found her on Jan. 24, 2000.

According to Mallory, Raymond Wong was arrested and appeared before a Contra Costa Superior Court judge on Thursday charged with murder using a firearm and with the special circumstance of killing for financial gain.

The Contra Costa Times reported Wong did not enter a plea and remains held without bail.

In addition, Senior Deputy District Attorney Harold Jewett told the Times that Wong could be considered for capital punishment, but Jewett’s office has not decided whether to pursue it.

Mallory said the evidence suggests the killing took place before Wong allegedly entered Nevada, so authorities and prosecutors from Pinole assumed jurisdiction.

According to previous reports, Pinole police found Sin’s car in a shopping mall parking lot half a mile from Wong’s home on Nov. 24, 1999. A search using a police dog alerted police to a cadaver in the trunk, but no body was located.

A search of Wong’s residence found a 9 mm handgun, and Wong failed a lie-detector test administered on Nov. 30, the Lahontan Valley News previously reported. According to a Jan. 28, 2000, story in the newspaper, Wong was deceptive on two questions regarding Sin. The first, “Do you know what happened to Alice Sin?” and the second, “Are you lying about what happened to Alice Sin?”

The report also states Wong took out a $2 million insurance policy against Sin’s death before she vanished. He never collected on the policy.

Jewett told the Times a love triangle between Sin, Wong and Jessica Tang had developed. Wong fathered one child with each woman.

In January 2000, the Churchill County District Attorney’s Office was notified of a body found near I-80. The individual was identified as Sin, who had been shot four times, and four bullet casings were found nearby. However, little evidence was able to be gathered because of rainfall the previous days.

Law enforcement also found Monopoly money with the letters “NWO” and “ZOG” written on the bills. According to reports, the letters represented white supremacist groups, but Jewett told the Times the money was a “misdirection tactic intended to deflect suspicion from any suspects who may be closer to home.”

In addition, Wong and Tang left the U.S. to Canada shortly after Sin’s body was discovered and were married. The Times and several other media outlets received an email after the pair left for Canada claiming to be from a white supremacist group. The email claimed responsibility for Sin’s murder.

According to the Times, police traced the email to a cyber cafe in Calgary, Canada, where the owners identified Wong being in the cafe and using the same computer.

Upon returning to the U.S., police arrested Wong in March 2000 after another search of his home discovered child pornography on his computer. He was sentenced to 27 months in a federal prison.

Wong’s story, though, doesn’t end there. After his release from prison, Wong assumed an alternate identity, according to the Times. He worked at Kaiser Permanente in an Internet technology position and had a 22-year-old college-student girlfriend.

He was arrested in 2009 while living with the 22-year-old woman for failure to register as a sex offender. A search found more computers loaded with violent pornography depicting rape scenes, many involving Asian women.

Kelvin Barbery of St. Agnes took this photograph of a UFO in Cornwall, UK.

THIS stunning photo of a UFO over Cornwall was last night hailed by experts as one of the best ever taken in Britain reported The Sun

The classic flying saucer shape is seen above two ships.

And UFO watchers believe it could be proof we are NOT alone.

UFO orb spotted breaking into two pieces and flying in different directions

Kelvin Barbery snapped the mystery object from a coastal path between Swanpool and Maenporth, near Falmouth.

In a weird twist, Kelvin, 55, did not even see the UFO at the time.

He thought he was just taking a sea view — but when he loaded the digital camera card on to his computer, the round metallic “craft” was in the centre of the shot, about two miles away
