"Shiprock, New Mexico," by Regan Lee 2004 acrylic on canvas
From Brian Vike's HBCC UFO reporting site: a UFO seen in Shiprock, New Mexico. Interesting comment by the witness of feeling "drained" the next day. The sighting was reported in August of 2005, but posted February 16, 2007.
New Mexico is a beautiful state. I spent a couple of days there about three years ago and ever since, have been wanting to go back. I'm much more of a water/ocean/coastal woods type of person, but I can see myself in New Mexico. I think there is something magical, or mystical, indeed about the place. (Which doesn't seem to do a thing for the blatant bigotry I witnessed there. Not everyone is a New Age happy shiny person.)
As many a UFO writer has wondered; are UFOs "attracted" in particular to places like this? Are they a product of such places, or do they come to these places because of the "energy?" Assuming of course they're something other than man made objects.
Okay, I'm beginning to sound too New Agey for my own good. I'll stop now.

Acapulco, Mexico Fleet
The UFO footage below is believed to have been filmed in Acapulco, Mexico on the 31 January, 2010. It shows what might be a fleet of up to thirty UFOs travelling above the popular resort city.
So far not much information regarding this UFO capture has come to light and the identity of the witnesses has not been made public. Judging by the audio on the clip the UFOs were seen by a large crowd.

Alaska - Two UFO/Plane Encounters
January 30, 1987, a US Air Force KC-135 was flying Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska, to Eielson AFB near Fairbanks.
The crew of the KC-135 reported a large, silent, disc-shaped UFO at about 20,000 feet altitude. At this time, Anchorage radar control showed nothing unusual.
In a moment, radar control asked the pilot of the plane if they still had the unknown object in sight. The frightened pilot replied yes, and added that the UFO was only 40 feet from the plane.

HAYABUSA - THE JAPANESE PROBE LAUNCHED SEVEN YEARS AGO TO TRY TO CAPTURE THE FIRST SAMPLES FROM AN ASTEROID - IS ON ITS WAY HOME AND IS DUE TO LAND SUNDAY IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
TOUCHDOWN FOR THE CRAFT'S CAPSULE IS SET FOR 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY IN A REMOTE PART OF THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK. THE FINAL TRAJECTORY CORRECTION TOOK PLACE TUESDAY. SO IT'S NOT AT ALL CLEAR IF THE RETURNING CAPSULE WILL CONTAIN ANY ASTEROID DUST IN ITS COLLECTION CANISTER. SCIENTISTS SAY THE DUST COULD HELP THEM GAIN NEW UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE SOLAR SYSTEM FORMED.
"THIS IS THE SECOND HIGHEST VELOCITY RE-ENTRY OF A CAPSULE IN HISTORY," SAID PETER JENNISKENS, A SCIENTIST AT NASA'S AMES RESEARCH CENTRE. "SUCH MAN-MADE OBJECTS ENTERING WITH INTERPLANETARY SPEED DO NOT HAPPEN EVERY DAY, AND WE HOPE TO GET A RINGSIDE SEAT TO THIS ONE."
THE 40-CENTIMETRE-WIDE CONTAINMENT CAPSULE WILL SEPARATE FROM THE MAIN SPACECRAFT WELL ABOVE THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE. IT WILL EVENTUALLY DEPLOY A PARACHUTE TO HELP SLOW ITS LANDING. THE CAPSULE ALSO HAS A RADIO BEACON.

BACK IN 1996, I RECEIVED A NUMBER OF STORIES - SOME FROM RETIRED, BRITISH MILITARY PERSONNEL - SUGGESTING THAT IF I WANTED TO FIND OUT WHAT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT "REALLY" KNEW ABOUT UFOS - AND PARTICULARLY SO "CRASHED" UFOS - I WOULD BE WISE TO FOCUS MY ATTENTIONS NOT SO MUCH ON THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY OF DEFENSE, BUT ON THAT OF THE HOME OFFICE. ALTHOUGH THE HOME OFFICE IS CHIEFLY KNOWN FOR ITS WORK IN THE FIELDS OF COUNTER-TERRORISM, IMMIGRATION, AND CRIME POLICY, THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT ITS WORK DELVES INTO FAR DEEPER, AND MUCH MORE MYSTERIOUS, AREAS, TOO.
According to several of the accounts provided to me back in '96, the Home Office oversaw the security surrounding a number of secret, underground bunkers located across the south and southwest of England. They were built as fortified havens for senior military and government personnel, in the event of a nuclear strike on the UK by the Soviets during the Cold War. I was advised, however, that deep within two of the bunkers were stored the remains of a number of alien bodies - all preserved in cryogenic states.
Of course, there is nothing new about such controversial claims. There are numerous accounts - particularly within the United States - of retired military personnel supposedly having seen extraterrestrial corpses in "secret hangars" or in "classified vaults." And, indeed, many people with an interest in Ufology will know of the rumors surrounding the supposed "Hangar 18' and the tales of dead aliens at Area 51.
What makes the stories about the Home Office and UFOs so interesting and different, however, is the noted "lack" of attention they have received over the years. That's not to say there isn't an intriguing body of data available. Quite the contrary: there actually "is" an intriguing body of data on this matter. According to researcher and author Timothy Good, in his 1987 book, "Above Top Secret":
"A close friend of mine whom I have known since 1952 witnessed the landing of an unidentified flying object in Derbyshire in September 1963, and subsequently came into contact with its operators. Four years afterwards two men with Home Office identification cards turned up at my friend's flat and politely asked a number of questions which clearly indicated that they were familiar with aspects of the incident."
Similarly, in 1982 Good interviewed an eye-opening interview with a retired police inspector, in an attempt to determine if the UFO issue was subject to the constraints of the British Government's Official Secrets Act - a piece of legislation utilized to muzzle government employees when deemed necessary by officialdom. According to Good's source: "What I can say to you, is that I know the subject itself was the subject of a Home Office directive."
Further data that suggested a link between the world of the UFO and that of the Home Office came from the late Graham Birdsall of "UFO Magazine", who informed me that he had spoken with one George Wild - a prison officer at Armley Prison in the English city of Leeds - on a highly controversial matter of a UFO nature.
Wild informed Birdsall that a "senior Home Office prison official" had once let it slip to him that on the first night of the famous series of UFO incidents at Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England in December 1980, high-level orders had arrived at the nearby High Point Prison advising staff to prepare for a possible evacuation of the inmates due to a matter of national security.
I also learned in 1996, from a now-retired UK government official, that the Home Office had extensive guidelines in place in the event that a space satellite decayed from its orbit and crashed on British soil. "You could equally apply those guidelines to a crashed UFO," he said, with a smile of the knowing kind. Acting on this information, in December 1996, I telephoned the Home Office and asked to be put through to their Press Office.
I explained the situation: I was interested to know what the Home Office's response would be if a large, metallic object from space - such as a satellite - crashed to earth on the UK. I considered it wise not to mention UFOs, even though that was my primary area of interest.
I was transferred to a helpful man who informed me that the responsibility for monitoring satellite movements over the British Isles was predominantly the domain of the tracking station at RAF Fylingdales, Yorkshire. If it appears there is a possibility, however remote, that a satellite in a decaying orbit might impact on the UK, Fylingdales had standing orders to keep the Ministry of Defense informed, who in turn were obliged to advise the Home Office of the unfolding situation. As the Press Officer explained to me:
"The Home Office has responsibility for emergency planning, which obviously isn't specific, necessarily, to satellites. But the situation is they only really become a matter for the Home Office when they've landed, because that's when the emergency services come into play."
He continued: "For example, there was one recently - a Chinese satellite which came down. That was one we were kept well informed of and were aware of. We were advised of the expected time it was going to land and all that kind of stuff. We don't really take much actual action; our side would be more the policy angle; ensuring that all the right contingency plans are in place."
My next stop: RAF Fylingdales.
"You want the Space Information Officer," I was advised by the switchboard operator at Fylingdales when I detailed my quest to her. A few moments later the SIO was on the line: "We track satellites all the time. When there are predictions for satellite decays - this is maintained by US and UK authorities - and if there is one which is potentially going to cause problems, the Ministry of Defense and the Home Office are the people who get involved.
"We would just track it and keep those people up to date with what was happening with the satellite at the time. The Home Office and the MoD do all the coordination. Accurate predictions as to where something is going to crash are very difficult: it depends exactly on what the satellite's doing - if it's rolling or if it's got high drag in one part or another. It also depends on what angle it enters the upper end of the atmosphere.
"There are experts that are able to calculate to within an hour or so when it's coming down. We can advise the Home Office and the MoD of the position of the satellite, how it's moving, whether it's speeding up, slowing down, or whether it's changing its attitude, or whatever."
In addition, and also in 1996, I received a newly-declassified Home Office directive of 1979 titled "Home Office Circular No. ES 5/1979, Satellite Accidents". It dealt with Home Office guidelines for dealing with the possible recovery of stricken space vehicles on the British mainland. The document stated:
"It is for the Government to decide whether, and if so by what means, a public warning of danger from radioactivity should be given. In reaching that decision, the need to prevent unnecessary alarm would be carefully considered. Chief Officers should therefore ensure that nothing is done locally to anticipate a Government statement.
"When reports of suspected or actual locations have been received the police should take such steps as may be needed locally to prevent people entering areas which may be dangerous because of radioactive material. Some larger pieces of debris might have radiation fields of significance over distances of the order of 100 meters."
The document then went on to illustrate the many and varied divisions within the British Government that had jurisdiction in the area of fallen spacecraft. As well as the Home Office, this included: the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston; the National Radiological Protection Board; the Ministry of Defense; Chief Officers of Police and Chief Fire Officers in the UK; and representatives of the "NAIR Scheme" - the National Arrangements for Incidents Involving Radioactivity.
Clearly the directive - and the testimony of the staff at the Home Office and at RAF Fylingdales - was relative to the Home Office's involvement in the recovery of crashed space vehicles of terrestrial origin. But what of the Home Office's link with objects of possible "non"-terrestrial origin? I have to admit that, although I have a number of stories on-file concerning alleged Home Office involvement in crashed UFO events in the UK, nothing concrete or definitive has ever surfaced. Nevertheless, where there is smoke there is often a degree of fire, too...
Examiner.com-- A California man reports seeing an oval-shaped UFO and a one to two-foot-tall creature on his property September 30, 2009, according to witness testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
The oval-shaped craft was seen about 3 p.m. after the man reported seeing a reflection of the object off of a camper shell window.
At 9:50 p.m., the man said he went outside to feed his cat and saw "something flashing colorful lights" just off his porch steps that was no bigger than a baseball.
The man took two steps toward the object and realized it was being held by "something" that stood no more than one or two feet tall.
Both the man and the "creature" were startled and moved away from each other.
The witness claims he heard the object hit the ground, but when he went back to the area to look for it, nothing was there.

TITAN'S SURFACE FEATURES (QT FORMAT)
New images of unsurpassed clarity have been obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) of formations on the surface of Titan, the largest moon in the Saturnian system. They were made by an international research team during recent commissioning observations with the "Simultaneous Differential Imager (SDI)", a novel optical device, just installed at the NACO Adaptive Optics instrument .With the high-contrast SDI camera, it is possible to obtain extremely sharp images in three colours simultaneously. Although mainly conceived for exoplanet imaging, this device is also very useful for observations of objects with thick atmospheres in the solar system like Titan. Peering at the same time through a narrow, unobscured near-infrared spectral window in the dense methane atmosphere and an adjacent non-transparent waveband, images were obtained that are virtually uncontaminated by atmospheric components. They map the reflectivity of a large number of surface features in unprecedented detail.The images show a number of surface regions with very different reflectivity. Of particular interest are several large "dark" areas of uniformly low reflectivity. One possible interpretation is that they represent huge surface reservoirs of liquid hydrocarbons.Whatever the case, these new observations will be most useful for the planning of the delivery of the Huygens probe - now approaching the Saturn system on the NASA/ESA Cassini spacecraft and scheduled for descent to Titan's surface in early 2005.ESO Press Photo eso0412 shows the clearest view of Titan's surface, available so far. It was obtained through a "transparent", narrow spectral window with the 8.2-m VLT YEPUN telescope and the NACO adaptive optics instrument operated in the Simultaneous Differential Imager (SDI) mode . It covers about three-quarters of the full surface and has an image resolution (sharpness) of 0.06 arcsec, corresponding to 360 km on the surface. One degree of longitude on the equator corresponds to 45 km on Titan's surface. The brightness is proportional to the surface reflectivity. The nature of the various regions is still unknown although it is speculated that the darkest areas may indicate the extent of reservoirs of liquid hydrocarbons.CREDIT:

This month 40 years ago, the AP ran a report (following a rash of UFO sightings) that centered on some of the earliest (and possibly first) laws enacted regarding these phenomena.
Palacios, TX mayor Bill Jackson announced the first ever "Fly-In" for UFOs at his city's local airport. A Fly-In is a social gathering for pilots and this invitation extended as far as outer space.
Ocean Springs, MS rejected an ordinance that would have governed the operation of UFOs within the city limits. The details of this proposed ordinance included a speed limit on UFOs (under twice the speed of sound).
The ordinance was penned by City Attorney Oscar Jordan who also proposed to make extraterrestrials subject to local law. In part this law would have stated: "It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to discriminate against such alien beings as may be transported in UFOs because of their race, creed or color, or their national origin, or international origin, or universal origin, or any other origin." Seems like he could have simply said "regardless or origin."
Such 'profiling' may have taken place earlier that month in Falkville, AL when officer Jeff Greenshaw responded to a call about a spaceship with blinking lights.
Greenshaw found no craft when he arrived on scene but did encounter a metallic being of some sort in the middle of the road. What little movements it made were very robotic, Grreenshaw recalled. And no noises or sounds emanated from its featureless face. The officer also recalled that its head culminated in a point. Could the officer have been describing a helmet instead of a head?
Regardless of what he thought he was seeing, Greenshaw got out of his patrol car and said almost comically, "Howdy, stranger". However, the being made no sound and continued to stand there in the road.
Greenshaw took his camera out of the car and began to take photographs of the entity. Still, it made no sound and it didn't move; but when the officer switched on blue strobes atop his vehicle, the creature fled.
Greenshaw leaped into his car and sped after it. Even in a vehicle, the patrol man was unable to catch up to the strange sprinter.
Next door, in Gulfport, MS, a cab driver reported his encounter with an alien being that stopped his vehicle. However, the driver later recanted his tale.
