US: Engineer spots disc-shaped UFO over Warwick, Rhode Island skies

A Warwick, RI, civil engineer reported seeing a disc-shaped UFO on April 24, 2010, at 3 p.m. that was observed from a local parking lot, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

The witness describes the object as "a intensely bright, white, circular object in a northeasterly direction and approximately 70 degrees above the horizon."

"I thought it funny that it just hung in that position for many minutes," the witness stated, "but it was lazily moving extremely slowly generally in a figure-eight pattern, which I verified by lining the object up with the edge of my car door jamb. As far as I could tell, the object did not vary in brightness, color or shape during my total observation. It was brighter than a daytime observation of the planet Venus and it definitely exhibited a diameter (disclike). I did have the distinct impression that it was spherical but without the aide of optics I was unsure."

Warwick is a city in Kent County, Rhode Island, the second largest city in the state, population 85,808.

Arizona witness reports night of possible alien visitation

An Arizona witness reports being awakened in the early morning hours of April 16, 2010, to a beeping sound that ignited a search of the home and feelings of aliens attempting an abduction, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

"I could feel that someone was in my house," the witness stated. "Then I thought it was little grey aliens, for some reason it really scared me. I wanted to get up to investigate, but was frozen from fear."

The witness reports that the sky outside looked darker than normal, as though something was blocking the sky.

"I remember looking outside my window at one point at the sky and it was a lot darker than normal as if there was a craft blocking the city lights. I do not recall seeing a space ship. I do recall that there was no other noise and it was eerily quite outside except for the noises coming from inside from my treadmill, about 3-4 minutes passed with my treadmill beeping. I had a bad feeling and my adrenaline was pumping hard."

US: Michigan teen watches small triangle UFO hover over backyard

A 15-year-old Michigan girl watched a small triangle-shaped UFO briefly hover over her backyard and then move quickly away on April 22, 2010, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

The girl's parent reported the incident on April 24, 2010.

"She describes it as being dark, triangular shaped and thick like a rock with a metallic look to it," the parent stated. "She said it remained for a few seconds then basically disappeared to the north."

The parent questioned the child after learning about the encounter.

"I asked her if it had windows- no. I asked her if it was large enough to hold people- she didn't think so. I asked her exactly where the orange lights were located on the craft- she claimed that the corners were glowing dim and that she didn't see any direct bright lights. I wanted to know just how close this thing was and so I asked her if she thought a rock could possibly hit it if she threw one and she replied yes (omg). I also asked her if there was any type of noise coming from the object and unfortunately she had earphones on listening to music from her mp3 but she did turn off the music at some point during the encounter and with her earplugs still in, she still didn't hear any noise."

Ufologists throughout the country have a lot of work on their hands, and the reason for this is Tarapacá, where there has been an exponential increase in the number of sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

The phenomenon has startled residents of Iquique. On many occasions, citizens have been stunned to see lights or objects that shouldn't be there every time they look up to the skies.

The phenomenon's very existence is a mystery, considering that the reason for its presence has never been explained, and much less forecasted. But there are historic periods of time in which the appearance of numerous UFO cases have drawn the attentions of ufologists.

Why Intelligent Life in the Universe is Likely to be Hostile

Famed physicist Stephen Hawking recently made headlines by explaining that even though extraterrestrial intelligence very likely exists in the universe, we probably don't want to meet aliens any time soon. "If aliens ever visit us," Hawking said, "I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans."

I agree completely. In fact, I've been considering writing an article on this subject for quite some time, but thought it would be construed as "too pessimistic" by many readers. But now that Hawking has opened the door on this topic, here's my take on it.

The most successful societies are the conquerors

Sad as it may seem, peaceful societies never accomplish much in the way of spreading their culture, expanding their reach or populating new lands (or planets). All the really peaceful cultures on planet Earth -- Tibetan Buddhists, Amazonian tribes, Native American Indians, Indigenous Australians -- were unilaterally wiped out by far more aggressive and violent cultures.

The Earth today is dominated by those religions and cultures that were expansionary and aggressive in their ways. Aggressive populations always tend to destroy peaceful populations, taking over their lands and resources, eventually ruling their people.

Stephen Hawking Warns Over Making Contact with Aliens

Aliens almost certainly exist but humans should make every attempt to avoid them, Stephen Hawking has warned.

In a series for the Discovery Channel the renowned astrophysicist said it was "perfectly rational" to assume intelligent life exists elsewhere.

But he warned that aliens might simply raid Earth for resources, then move on.

"If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans," he said.

Mr Hawking thinks that, rather than actively trying to communicate with extra-terrestrials, humans should do everything possible to avoid contact.

He explained: "We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet."

US: Woman Sees Craft Like Military Cargo Plane Hovering Low in Sky

Date of Sighting: April 13, 2010
Date of Sighting: April 13, 2010
Time of Sighting: 4:15 PM EDT
Location of Sighting: On Highway 35 Between Pt. Pleasant & Southside, West Virginia (See Map)

Description: I was driving South on Highway 35, somewhere between Pt. Pleasant and Southside, West Virginia. I saw what looked like a huge plane flying way too low. I thought it was going to crash with it being so low, so I started to slow down. The closer I got to it, I saw that it was a military cargo plane. Then, it seemed like it was not moving so I stopped almost completely when I got right beside it. It was not moving. I turned down my radio and there was no noise from the plane. It looked like a big military cargo plane, it couldn't have been any higher in the air than the top of a telephone pole. I could read the stickers on it it was so low. All I remember of the stickers is that there was an American flag and numbers and letters, no words. The plane was not tipping in any direction. It was completely still. Just sitting in the air. After about a minute of being right beside it, traffic started coming from the other direction so I had to move. Once the traffic moved, I could not see it anywhere behind me. There was no plane and no smoke from a crash. It was just gone.

Australia: UFO visit terrifies Top End family

A Territory family has told how they held their breath when a UFO hovered over their home.

It was around 8pm on Friday when Susan Clarke, of Howard Springs, heard her partner yell out to her "to come out quick".

"Myself and the lad were sober, and we saw a huge spherical object that was moving horizontally across the night sky very slowly," Ms Clarke told the Sunday Territorian.

"It was amazing and unnerving at the same time.

"It was glowing red, orange and gold - none of us had ever seen anything like it before."

Ms Clarke said she grabbed her camera, but didn't manage to capture the mysterious flying object in a photo.

"I was shaking just looking at it, it was very eerie and made my knees weak."

The Howard Springs resident said she watched the UFO for about three or four minutes, together with her partner and his 16-year-old son, before the object took off into the night.

"It veered off at a right angle, then in another direction, then just shot off at a great speed (and) disappeared.

"We rang friends and asked if they had seen anything and we were totally shaken up by the experience."

The UFO is far from being the first to be seen in the Territory.

Only three weeks ago, UFOs had been spotted stalking the site of the proposed NT nuclear waste dump at Muckaty Station.

In March, a Queensland businessman had an eerie encounter with "bright lights zipping around the trees" when he visited the NT's alien hot spot Wycliffe Well.

In June 2008 the community of Marlinja came to a standstill when UFOs descended on the town.
