Six commercial aircraft register a UFO sighting in Chile

"Three lights appear, we have no reported traffic and we do not know what it is", one of the pilots is heard to say. The incident was documented by the Committee of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena.

Unidentified flying objects in Chile

 CEFAA The pilots of at least six commercial aircraft - five from Lan Chile and one from Copa - claimed to have witnessed a series of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the skies of northern Chile , a fact that was reported and documented by the Phenomena Committee Aerial anomalous (Cefaa). 

The organism published on YouTube an audio that narrates the impression that some of the pilots who crossed the sky of the city of Antofagasta had on May 7, 1,364 kilometers north of Santiago, and published by the newspaper La Estrella . 

A pilot of the flight COPA 174, begins to narrate with emphasis "that at the height of the post Livor [a control post that is located in the sky, about 380 kilometers from the coast of Antofagasta] appear three lights". "We have not reported traffic and we do not know what it is", he warns, to point out almost immediately: "At the moment a light disappeared". 

Almost at the same time, the voice of a pilot from Lan 639, is contacted with the control tower. "Position, down, apparently over the sea," he says, trying to identify what is there. In turn, the pilot of Lan 2473 responds that there is a light. Another voice that is heard with impetus and that comes from the Lan 79, anticipates that it also observes the bright light. "At sea level, a very small light appears and disappears," he adds.

 "What a strange phenomenon" 

" The Cup driver reappears strongly in the audio to comment that three lights are visible to the left of his position. "The lights are moving and they increase the intensity and decrease it too, in fact we are going to turn to the right because they seem to be getting closer," he warns. 

A pilot from another Lan, the 501, confirms that he observed the light, a fact that immediately tells the audio of the other pilots. The Cup pilot says: "What a strange phenomenon, now we have three lights in the shape of a triangle." The Lan 577 placed the lights about 60 miles from Livor. "It could be about 2,000 feet below and distance about 20 or 30 miles," you hear.


 In total there were six ships that reported the strange movement of lights and, according to a voice that would come from the Oceanic Control Center of Santiago, in communication with the Air Operations Command, one of the aircraft even deviated -apparently for safety- 30 miles. 

Until now, the Cefaa, belonging to the Directorate General of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC), and that 20 years ago was the first official agency to recognize the detection in its radars of a "strange intruder in the airspace", without being able to identify it , you have not delivered a report. Neither has the Ovniological Research Group of Chile (AION) been manifested. 

Chile is considered the fifth country in the world with the highest number of UFO sightings, after the United States, Peru, Brazil and Russia.

 In this country, especially in the northern region, over the last 65 years, more than 600 sightings have been verified , and this area has been the scene of even reports of the so-called "third type" (supposedly visual contact with "extraterrestrials"). . 

Experts say that 60 million people in the world have already witnessed UFO sightings, although out of fear of ridicule, only 10% of these experiences are reported. However, the experts who run the program called Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI, in English), started 18 years ago, and whose main mission is to capture radio signals from our galaxy, have never received any sign of intelligent life.

Search for three teenagers involved in 1978 UFO incident in Devon

Can't say I am too happy that the inference of alcohol was put into the item but that is the press.

Search for three teenagers involved in 1978 UFO incident in Devon
The trio had left a youth club in Buckfastleigh
By Max Channon




A UFO researcher wants to contact a trio of teenagers who reported a close encounter of the third kind in Devon 40 years ago this month.

Terry Hooper-Scharf, a naturalist and historian who runs the Anomalous Observational Phenomena Facebook Page, says the youngsters, who will now all be in their 50s, reported seeing a number of UFOs in the sky after leaving a youth club in Buckfastleigh - the Devon market town famous for producing the notoriously potent Buckfast Tonic Wine.

The three friends also reported seeing 'unidentified figures' on three occasions - and were said to have been left traumatised by the experience.

Terry said: "On the 3 October, 1978, three teenagers left a youth club in Buckfastleigh, Devon. The trio were given pseudonyms at the time of Shirley, Mark and Paul.

"Investigation procedures at the time as well as protocol on dealing with witnesses were not what they are today.

"We know that the trio observed a number of unidentified objects in the sky above the village and some unidentified figures on three occasions.

"We might normally be cautious but a retired gentleman named Harry observed the objects himself after the nervous trio knocked on his door – his cats also behaved oddly.

"The teens were traumatised and the girl identified as Shirley was said to have been most affected.

"1978 seems a very long time ago now but I am trying to locate the teens and gather as much information about observations that evening as I can.

"If they read this, or any family members do, then please get in touch.

"I cannot over-emphasise that I deal with witnesses in the strictest confidence and have done so for over 40 years.

"My interest is purely for research and so I hope that the trio will consider getting in touch with me.

Physical Traces Associated With UFO Sightings -I Know There Must Be Some:WHEN Do WE Get To See It?


Ted Phillips and soil samples from the 1979 documentary UFOs Are Real.
_____________________________________________________________________
It has been some time since I read Ted Phillips' book of UFO Trace Evidence cases.

There are problems such as cases of what might be a form of natural phenomena -perhaps even ball lightning (1490 AD, Ireland).  The 1663 Robozero, Russia case is one that made me sit up when I first read it. Then we have the 1790 Alencon, France hoax -which I have exposed as such yet is still included in ufological works "because Jacques Vallee has quoted it" (Vallee even included at least two other hoaxes that I can prove (and they were widely known as such before he included them).

Here is the biggest problem;

(1) "Date unknown" (but 19th century?)

(2)  including incidents from the 1880s/1890s airship sightings -Dr Geoffrey Doel, before me, showed that these were airships not extraterrestrial craft.

(3)  A 40 feet (12m) wide "circular" patch where nothing grows (US date unknown).

(4)  A loud bang and rocks thrown up into the air -no sighting of any object but the location had a roughly 18 ft circular pattern (July 1880, Canada)

(5)  1909 Caerphilly Mts airship incident

(6)  anecdotal (at best) account from the descendents of people who allegedly saw something in the 1800s.

(7)   notes from UFO publications that were never followed up  -because they could not be.

(8)   the Scandinavian "ghost rockets" was no real mystery and has been dealt with and explained so many times -including by scientists

The first 34 listings should be ignored even if there are a couple that are of interest such as Robozero (not as an extraterrestrial craft, though).  There are good reasons to dismiss those cases:

1.  Most, including 1948, are far too old to investigate.  Even if a witness to a 1948 incident was alive there is:

2.  No physical trace evidence.  If there is then I fully apologise and would like to see this evidence.

_____________________________________________________________________


Looking at 1-34 in the catalogue any scientist with interest in the subject is simply going to shrug and put the book down and only a few might continue. If they did they might give up as the Schirmer CE3K at Ashland, Nebraska is included and that seems to generally be seen as a hoax.  "What looked like fresh oil on the road"/ "A footprint was found".   Basically, these are news snippets from UFO publications and some of those I have found were not too hot on actual facts.  Even if Phillips corresponded with the publications all he might get -if lucky- is a photograph of flattened grass or a hole.

From the year 1950 on is a better date to start -some might even say 1960.  You need to find reports with definite and clear evidence of physical traces.  If there are photographs -cameras could be a rare thing even up until the late 1980s due to cost so if anyone took photos you would be lucky.  Physical evidence in the form of material would be interesting.

Physical Traces Associated With UFO Sightings was published in 1975 so the fact that so many known hoaxes and misinterpretations are included shows just how bad ufology was and is in sharing evidence.  The statistics at the back of the paper are....useless,  You cannot offer a breakdown in percentage, etc., and expect it to have any meaning because of bad data.  As with a computer -you Input bad data the Output is bad data.

If this is the basis of the 4000 reports Phillips claims to have then it is a problem.  I have seen him on TV shows where his files are shown and I have asked UFO groups and individuals if they know of  an update or report concentrating on the best evidence from Phillips.  Nothing.  The online website has not been updated for years.

Again, if I am wrong then I apologise but if someone can give me a publication on PTE (Physical Trace Evidence) from Phillips in the last ten years I would very much appreciate.

Is Phillips hoarding the evidence he has?  We need to see the best cases for which tests, samples and results are available.  That is what science needs to see to get it interested and if PTE from UFO landings is rare then that adds some credibility if the unknown natural phenomenon cases can be sorted from the seemingly constructed objects evidence.

I have tried contacting Phillips but no responses so I have to base things on what I have seen and to be honest the  Physical Traces Associated With UFO Sightings book leaves me very disappointed: we need to see the actual evidence from 1975 on because that is how a case can be proven.

I really hope Ted Phillips publishes the best case evidence soon because tiny lights and Czech UFO crash myths are of no real interest when it comes to proving the case.

Buckfastleigh, Devon: 1977 -witness appeal


It is a long shot but you never know...

On the 3rd October, 1978, three teenagers left a youth club in Buckfastleigh, Devon. The trio were given pseudonyms at the time of Shirley, Mark and Paul.

Investigation procedures at the time as well as protocol on dealing with witnesses were not what they are today. 

We know that the trio observed a number of unidentified objects in the sky above the village and some unidentified figures on three occasions.  We might normally be cautious but a retired gentleman named Harry observed the objects himself after the nervous trio knocked on his door –his cats also behaved oddly.

The teens were traumatised and the girl identified as Shirley was said to have been most affected.

1978 seems a very long time ago now but I am trying to locate the teens and gather as much information about observations that evening as I can.  If they read this, or any family members do, then please get in touch. I cannot over-emphasise that I deal with witnesses in the strictest confidence and have done so for over 40 years.  My interest is purely for research and so I hope that the trio will consider getting in touch with me.

My thanks in advance

New spy plane? You be the judge

Updated: Marley Woods and Ted Phillips -what is going on?

Let me make it very clear that if you are looking -scientifically- into the paranormal or unidentified phenomena of any type you are not a crank. If you are looking at UFOs in a scientific way you are not a crank.

However, there is a point when you can be said to have lost it.

Ted Phillips is a legend for his work on UFO physical trace evidence and I would have taken his word on anything because he had credibility.  I had to think long and hard after watching several long talks as well as hearing podcasts he has been on.

He recites the "classic" UFO trace cases of Delphos ("The Delphos Ring") and Langenburg, Saskatchewan, 1974. He has over 4,000 cases on his trace cases catalogue -photos, analysis, etc- and yet the same couple cases.  He will then go into the Skinwalker Ranch case and if you think George Knapp has given some wild versions of the same stories -Phillips goes one better.

We then come to his most recent ()decade or so?) work: Marley Woods. Odd lights, though absolutely nothing impressive filmed (it seems) just distance lights.  Tales of a very large, canid-like creature that is bullet proof and can walk on its hind legs (no, I am not getting mixed up and I am talking about Marley not Skinwalker) and a paw cast that looks wolf-like.

Cue the use of the term "portal" and the usual claims.

Now Phillips has been claiming that he believes UFOs and the paranormal are linked but also that the "flying saucers" of old have been "replaced" by orbs of various sizes and colours. He also claims that he realised one day that decades on these "little guys" (UFO entities) were described wearing the same type of clothing -their fashion had not developed.  Then it hit him that the reason the clothing may not have changed is because it is the "same day" to "them" -in other words: time travellers(21 minutes in):




Firstly, there have always been two distinct phenomena and one precedes Ufology by centuries. With today's reporting system everything and anything becomes a UFO so we cannot say there are no more "flying saucer" types being seen. I realised that there were two distinct phenomena with two days of cataloguing thousands of UFO reports in the late 1970s.

So what are people like Phillips doing?  If you study rabbits and combine that data with studies on horses you will end up with nonsense.  This is what these people are doing; combining two separate phenomena and adding in the other miscellaneous stuff like fakes and hoaxes and shrugging and saying "I give up.  this is completely beyond the laws of physics and cannot be extraterrestrial -it must be extra-dimensional!"

Now Phillips is concentrating on similar sites to Marley as well as a 'space ship'(?) embadded in a mountain in Czechia (formerly Czech republic)?

The natural thing to do is go through the catalogue and see which cases involve "orb-like" objects and which solidly constructed craft: you then have a data base for analysis on "UFOs" and the natural phenomenon.  You do not throw decades of work away and just say you think it might all be cosmic tricksters!

Phillips Physical Evidence data base has not been up-dated for years and the page for his trace group ...no responses. A few years back I defended Phillips and his work -which really should be available for public and Scientific scrutiny -especially scientists like to see some hard facts from analysis so...who is checking all this data and the last time I saw Phillips with his data files they were crammed.

In the UK Geoff Falla's Vehicle Interference Catalogue contains 900 reports -including from pilots.

That is 4000 Physical Trace cases and 900 Vehicle Interference cases.

I decided to re-appraise Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Alien Entity (CE3K/AE) reports and found large numbers of these were still being promoted as genuine despite being known as fakes/hoaxes and misinterpretations for 30-50 years.  What I did not expect, especially when I put together UFO Contact?, was to find that there are some that cannot be simply dismissed -and that was when I took into account the attempts by debunkers.  It will take a lot of work to get through thec world wide catalogue but there are "solid" cases.

We have people keeping catalogues of physiological effects and Animal Disturbance cases caused by UFOs, however, most do not want to share -it is "their" data.

But there is enough evidence and it needs to be presented and peer reviewed. THIS is what science needs and this type of material needs to be peer reviewed: that is science.

I asked previously why Phillips had not gotten involved with Bigelow, the money behind the Skinwalker ranch investigation.  It seems that Bigelow made the offer but in no way or form would Phillips be allowed to share information or discuss the work.  Bigelow told him "Information only comes in" which raises questions about what Bigelow is up to.

Refusing a good pay cheque and smart office because he believes all information should be made available, is a very big plus point on Phillips' side.

Decades on I think everyone -including Science- needs to see the trace evidence not listen to old stories of Delphos or Langenburg.


Ufology is just very depressing and unscientific
