As first reported by 9News, the object did not appear on radar in the area, but nearly collided with a private jet at 8,000 feet above Cherry Creek.

In an audio recording from the jet cockpit,provided by LiveATC.net, a pilot can be heard telling air traffic officials, "[I] don't know if it was a remote controlled aircraft or what, but something just went by the other way. About 20-30 seconds ago... And it was like a large remote controlled aircraft.
In March of 2011, residents of nearby Lafayette, Colorado, recorded video of three hovering, seemingly disconnected lights in the sky there.

The three lights remained in a triangular pattern, moving slowly toward the northeast. The Daily Camera reports that when one light extinguished, witnesses say the other two "just turned off and were gone."

In 2010, Denver voters rejected a ballot measure that would've created a commission to track extraterrestrials. The proposal was the brainchild of Jeff Peckman, who gained fame in 2008 after claiming to have video of a live alien peeking through a window in Nebraska.

Updated at 3:30 p.m. ET: The Federal Aviation Administration emailed USA TODAY with the following statement regarding the object: " The FAA is investigating the incident and will try to positively identify the object the Citation pilot reported, where it came from and who was operating it."

Original article link

The article states, 'Alien Abduction Research Suggests Episodes are Actually Lucid Dreams.' It goes on to claim that most psychologists and researchers in-the-know believe that these terrifying events are simply hallucinations and/or lucid dreams. It goes even farther to add that there has been a recent study in which students were given the training needed to induce lucid dream states, and they with relative ease were able to conjure up very realistic (though fictional) ET abduction events.

Well, I think the entire article is absolute baloney.

The 'study' Wolchover confidently cites is in fact based on a workshop by Michael Raduga's Out-Of-Body-Experience school which specializes in TEACHING students how to astrally project (they promise students the ability to travel anywhere in the universe, meet the deceased, travel the world etc, in just 3 classes). The study hasn't been peer reviewed in any journals, nor are they affiliated with any academic institutions, for obvious reasons. My hunch is that the OOBE Research Center had something to do with this story taking shape.

Another Bastard ET Abduction Vehicle Claims a Student!

A major issue right off the bat is that the story names lucid dreaming as the supposed cause, which by definition is when one is keenly aware of the fact that they are dreaming. If they believe that they are abducted by true EBEs, and that the experience is REAL, than it can't be a lucid dream. Quite the opposite actually.

Far more likely the reality behind most nighttime abduction scenarios is 'night terrors' or 'sleep paralysis' (google: MeSH D020188) where the person remains consciously awake while the body shuts down for REM sleep (aka hypnagogic or predormital sleep paralysis). A very common side effect is the appearance of fanciful dream-like objects or entities in the room near them. It's doubly terrifying because the person cannot move due to the deep REM sleep their body is shut down under.

Another condition associated with abduction phenomena is 'false memory syndrome' (see Peter J. Freyd's work), where a person's identity and relationships are affected by memories which are factually incorrect but are strongly believed.

Another strange and vague assertion Mr. Wolchover presents is that 'Paranormal investigators say it all started in the 1940s and 1950s.' This is news to me. In the 1897 edition of the Stockton, California Daily Mail, Colonel H. G. Shaw claimed he and a friend were harassed by three tall, slender humanoids whose bodies were covered with a fine, downy hair who tried to kidnap the pair into a starship.

Also in the fascinating 1923 book, New Lands (Charles Fort) there are accounts of humans being abducted by ET aeronauts. There are a few other accounts, many of which are probably hogwash, but it illustrates the holes in Wolchover's article as I haven't heard of the notion, and I AM a paranormal investigator who's read pretty everything in print on the subject.

For credible information on the topic of alien abductions, which I believe to be a real occurrence every so often, I encourage reading up on the work of John E. Mack, Budd Hopkins and Dr. Ronald Sprinkle. Also I believe the Betty and Barney Hill case stands as the 'Roswell' of abduction cases, meaning it's legit.

While the vast majority of subjectively real alien abduction accounts are most likely chalked up to abnormal brain states and sleep paralysis, to this investigator stories such as the HuffPost article in question only serve to further confuse their readership with casual hypotheses that are not in line with current research.

And with that I'm going to go to bed tonight hoping I'm not next in line for an embarrassing probe.

Prof Stephen Hawking: man faces nuclear armageddon and must colonise space

Mankind faces nuclear armageddon and must build colonies on Mars and beyond, Stephen Hawking has said.

"It is possible that the human race could become extinct but it is not inevitable. I think it is almost certain that a disaster, such as nuclear war or global warming, will befall the earth within a thousands years," Professor Hawking, the Cambridge University cosmologist and theoretical physicist said.

"It is essential that we colonise space. I believe that we will eventually establish self-sustaining colonies on Mars, and other bodies in the solar system, although probably not within the next 100 years.

"I am optimistic that progress within science and technology will eventually allow humans to spread beyond the solar system and out into the far-reaches of the universe," he said.

Professor Hawking was answering questions submitted by listeners to BBC Radio 4's Today programme to mark his seventieth birthday.

But if man should meet alien life on its journey into space, the consequences for humanity could be grave, Prof Hawking warned.

"The discovery of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe would be the greatest scientific discovery ever. But it would be very risky to attempt to communicate with an alien civilisation.

"If aliens decided to visit us, then the outcome might be similar to when Europeans arrived in the Americas. That did not turn out well for the Native Americans."

He said did not believe the results of the CERN experiments which appeared to show particles travelling faster than the speed of light - in defiance of the known laws of physics.

"Einstein's theory of relativity predicts that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Thus if the Opera experiment is correct, and neutrinos do travel faster than light, then relativity theory is wrong.

"However, I don't believe the Opera results, because they disagree with the detection of neutrinos from supernova SN 1987A."

Bursts of neutrinos detected in 1987 from that stellar explosion suggested neutrinos travel at the same speed of light. If CERN's experiment is correct, they would have been detected on earth years before the light from the explosion was seen on earth, physicists believe. Instead, they arrived within hours of one another.

A listener from Lagos asked Hawking, Britain's most celebrated physicist, whether there "was a time when there was nothing".

"The origin of the universe can be explained by the laws of physics, without any need for miracles or divine intervention," replied the professor, who uses a speech synthesizer due to his debilitating Motor Neurone Disease.

"These laws predict that the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing in a rapidly expanding state. It's called inflation, because it's like the way prices go up at an ever increasing rate. Time is defined only with the universe, so it makes no sense to talk about the time before the universe began. It would be like asking for a point south of the south pole."

Government officials in the Russian region of Siberia have announced ‘definitive and indisputable proof’ of the existence of mountain Yetis living in the area.

A professional expedition was organized after Kemerovo's governor invited researchers from the United States, Canada, and several other countries to share their research and stories of encounters with the creature at a conference. By all accounts, it was a success and evidence has been found.

"During the expedition to the Azasskaya caves, conference participants gathered indisputable proof that the Shoria mountains are inhabited by the 'Snow Man'," the Kemerovo region administration said in a press release.

The Kemerovo regional government (south of Siberia) said in a statement on its website that footprints and possibly even hair samples belonging to the elusive Yeti were found on the research trip to its remote mountains.

"They found his footprints, his supposed bed, and various markers with which the yeti marks his territory," the statement said. The collected "artifacts" will be analyzed in a special laboratory, it said.

Yetis, or Abominable Snowmen, are hairy ape-like creatures regularly seen in Eurasia (cousins of the North American Sasquatch), that are generally held to inhabit the Himalayas. But many believe Russia also holds a population of yetis, which it calls Snow Men, in remote areas of Siberia.

Kemerovo region's Shoria is a sparsely populated territory in Western Siberia that has historically been a territory of coal and metal mining.

The region, the administrative centre of Kuznetsk coal basin, has pursued the elusive Yeti for several years. Considering the latest findings, the region may "create a special research centre to study the Yeti" in the regional university and "create a journal" dedicated to the science of the Yeti, the administration's statement said.

I, for one, have just found my next ski trip destination.

A brief breakdown for the uninitiated:

Skylab was the first American space station was launched into orbit May 14, 1973. Skylab 3, the second crew to visit, consisted of Astronauts Alan Bean, Jack Lousma, and Owen Garriott. Tasked with everything from maintenance to experiments both scientific and medical, they also faced a number of crises during their short tenure (July 28, 1973, to September 25, 1973,) all of which were thankfully resolved. The one unresolved occurance was the sighting and photographing of a MASSIVE unidentified object that followedthe space lab while remaining undetected by NASA or NORAD, an event which would become known in military/NASA/UFO circles as the "Skylab 3 UFO Incident."

A few days before returning to Earth and while out of radio contact, Garriott took photos of an anomalous object from Skylab’s wardroom window. The first recorded mention of the incident was between the astronauts and CAPCOM some four and a half hours later:

Lousma: Did you tell him about that satellite we saw?
Bean: Yes, we saw a great satellite. We didn’t know if we told you about it.
Lousma: The closest and brightest one we’ve seen.
Bean: Huge one
Lousma: We’ve seen several. It was a red one
Capsule Communicator: No, you may have told someone but it wasn’t this team. I don’t remember hearing about it.
Lousma: I guess we didn’t report it. It was flashing red lights and oscillating at, oh, counting its period of brightness to dimmest, about 10 seconds. It led us into sunset. That was about three revs ago, I think. Something like that, wasn’t it Owen? (No answer).

Further allusion to the anomaly took place during a debriefing on October 4, 1973:

Garriott: Do you want to talk about that satellite?
Lousma: I saw a couple of satellites that appeared like a satellite would on Earth. I saw one that was not like one you would see on Earth, so why don’t you mention it.
Garriott: OK. About a week or 10 days before recovery and we were still waiting for information to be supplied to us about the identification. Jack first notices this rather large red star out the wardroom window.Upon close examination, it was much brighter than Jupiter or any of the other planets. It had a reddish hue to it, even though it was well above the horizon. The light from the Sun was not passing close to the Earth's limb at the time. We observed it for about 10 minutes prior to sunset. It was slowly rotating because it had a variation in brightness with a 10-seconds period. As I was saying, we observed it for about 10 minutes, until we went into darkness, and it also followed us into darkness about 5-seconds later. From the 5 to 10 second delay in its disappearance we surmised that it was not more than 30 to 50 nautical miles (35 to 58 statute miles or 56 to 93 km) from our location. From its original position in the wardroom window, it did not move more than 10 or 20 degrees over the 10 minutes or so that we watched it. Its orbit was very close to that of our own. We never saw it on any earlier or succeeding orbits and we'd be quite interested in having its identification established. It's all debriefed in terms of time on channel A, so the precise timing and location can be picked up from there.
The Channel A recorder was off, so determining the precise time and location of Skylab using that method was not possible. The information was later determined though using NORAD tracking data. The case is still totally unresolved. Here's the official photos, there are more out there but I can't find them just now.

A video on it... the narrator is awful.

Disregard that idiots mention that this is the only NASA sighting, that's horseshit. Nearly every one of the apollo crews has gone on the record to say that they were monitored by ET vessels. I believe the Skylab case is a real one. Thoughts?

International team of scientists to share secret Cold War evidence

Its legend has long haunted the icy wastes of the Himalayas and Siberia.

Yet for all the mysterious sightings and strange footprints in the snow, the Yeti has proved remarkably elusive to those seeking solid evidence of its existence.

Now, however, the Abominable Snowman has an international team of scientists on its trail in a Russian region which one expert claims is home to around 30 of the creatures.

An expedition and conference – the largest of its kind since 1958 – will this week bring together scientists from Russia and the U.S. who have even agreed to share  secret Cold War evidence in the effort to prove the humanoid beasts exist.

It follows a rise in apparent Yeti sightings in the Kemerovo region 3,000 miles – and four time zones – east of Moscow.

One of the most recent was reported by 82-year-old Raisa Sudochakova, who claims her dogs howled in fear and ran when they saw the Yeti.

She said: ‘It was still a tall creature, but not giant. It was covered with long brown-grey hair, like a bear. It wasn’t a bear – I have lived all my life in Siberia and wouldn’t make that mistake. This creature walked like a human, or almost like a human.’

Experts speculated she may have seen a young Yeti, as other sightings have suggested the creatures are about 7ft.

This week’s expedition will begin with experts from six nations gathering at the International Centre of Hominology in Tashtagol.

Snow joke: Russian and U.S. scientists will join forces in a bid to shed light on the mysterious yeti. This image shows a supposed footprint of one of the beasts

Russian Scientist: Igor Burtsev is the head of the 'Yeti institute' at Kemerovo State University

Igor Burtsev, the centre’s director, believes around 30 Yetis live in the Kuzbass coal mining area of Kemerovo, where villagers say they steal sheep and hens. He claims they are Neanderthals who have survived to this day.

The event comes after the most recent expedition to find the Yeti failed, despite the efforts of Russian heavyweight boxing champion Nikolai Valuyev, known as the ‘Beast from the East’.

‘Valuyev did not manage to meet the Yeti itself but on the way he discovered traces such as broken tree branches,’ said a local government spokesman.

‘By the time they reached the Azass cave, the expedition saw gigantic footprints.’

Not surprisingly, there has been a degree of scepticism over the latest hunt – not least from those who reckon it’s just an attempt to boost tourism in Kemerovo.

A full 33-foot Sei Whale has been found in the middle of a field in Northern England, nearly 1000 feet from the nearest shallow estuary, which was barely 4' deep and not deep enough to support such a large animal.

Andy Gibson, of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, said such strandings were very rare.

This mysterious animal abduction comes amidst a massive UFO wave in the Kingston upon Hull area. In August there were at least six sightings of darting UFO craft in the area, the most publicized being on 8/10 at 2pm, in which a small series of crafts hovered low to the marshland before darting off at extreme speeds defying all known laws of physics.

Due to the extreme amount of UFO sightings in the Hull area, there has been established the official "Hull UFO Society" (link) to sort out the claims. This abduction, examination and depositing of an entire whale is the first on record though, to my knowledge. As the days pass I can predict that we'll get a few saucer reports from the Kingston upon Hull area. I'll update this article as they come in.
