Filer's Files
By George Filer
MUFON Eastern Region Director
June 6, 2012
George Filer: firstname.lastname@example.com
See all the photos at: www.nationalufocenter.com
In special reports, this weeks files cover: Navy Blue Angels and Friends, Vatican Theologian Claims Extraterrestrial Contact Is Real, Underwater Pyramids, Mars Writing, Was Tesla the Father of 'Star Wars'?, American Indians Circular Craft, and Syria Massacre.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in Australia, Canada, India, England in the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe.
The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
Andrews AFB -- I'm on your Facebook group as well as your UFO newsletter email list. I was looking through some of my pictures that I took over the weekend at the Andrews Joint Service Open House and this particular one caught my attention. Perhaps nothing out of the ordinary but I was curious and thought you might be interested in offering an opinion or suggesting another source for me to share this with. My first reaction was that the blurred objects might have been the opposing soloists in the background. That wouldn't account for the third blurred object, however. I wondered, too, if I might have caught an image of birds--there were several that I had noted flying around during the show. Thanks to Matt Lindquist.
Editors Note: Objects are similar to UFOs frequently observed at Air shows
In the movie," the Day the Earth Stood Still," the actor Keanu Reeves states:
"The Earth is dying, humans are killing it. The Earth is one of a few planets that can support advanced life in this area of the universe and it must be saved for other advanced species."
R. M. Collins writes, "You'll find that Earth is a very unique planet (appreciate that fact) and coveted by many alien species just like the US is coveted by many foreign nationals. And remember, the human species is very unique and is why they want human DNA and blood on a regular basis. Seeded humans? From evidence it's just the other way around, we are their salvation. Thanks to R. M. Collins
ROME -- Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a former insider close to the Pope has gone on national Italian television five times to proclaim, Extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomenon The prelate announced that the Vatican is receiving much information about extraterrestrials and their contacts with humans from its Nuncios (embassies) in various countries, such as Mexico, Chile and Venezuela. Monsignor Balducci said that he is on a Vatican commission looking into extraterrestrial encounters, and how to cope with the emerging general realization of extraterrestrial contact. Balducci provided the Catholic Church's analysis of extraterrestrials, emphasizing that extraterrestrial encounters "are NOT demonic, they are NOT due to psychological impairment, they are NOT a case of entity attachment, but these encounters deserve to be studied carefully."
Since is a Vatican expert exorcist, and since the Catholic Church has historically demonized many new phenomena that were poorly understood, his proclaiming the Vatican's non-censure of these encounters is all the more remarkable. Unfortunately, Monsignor Balducci passed away but is work is being continued and the Vatican closely follows this phenomenon.
In his testimony Balducci explained that not only the general populous but also highly credible, cultured, and educated people of high status are recognizing more and more that this is a real phenomenon. He goes on to speak about the extraterrestrial people as part of Gods creation and that they are not angels nor are they devils. However they are probably more spiritually evolved.

The surface of Mars is covered with various structures and writing as provided by the European Space Agency the n like is the symbol for Capricorn and like for Leo.
UFOs are frequently reported entering and leaving our oceans. Recently American and French scientists as well as other countries are the Bermuda Triangle, claim to have found a pyramid standing upright on the seabed that has never been known. The length of the base of this pyramid reached 300 meters, 200 meters height, and distance from the tip of the pyramid is about 100 meters above sea level. Preliminary results show this structure to be made of glass or a glass-like (crystal?) material, as it is entirely smooth and partially translucent.
When talking about size, this newly re-discovered pyramid is larger in scale than the pyramids of ancient Egypt. On top of the pyramid there are two very large holes, sea water at high speed move through the second hole, and therefore the raging waves roll by forming a giant vortex that makes the waters around this cause a massive surge waves and mist on the sea surface. This new discovery makes scientists wonder if this is having an effect on passing boats and planes and could be the reason for all the mystery surrounding the area.
Western scholars argue that the pyramid on the seabed was built on the mainland, but sunk after a devastating earthquake. Other scientists argue that a few thousand years ago these pyramids on the sea floor were some of the structures in a great civilization such as Atlantis that sunk beneath the Bermuda Triangle...
The size of the pyramids is nearly three times the size of the pyramids of Cheops. There is also a picture that the Bermuda triangle and the area where this pyramid was supposedly located may be some sort of "holy grounds" that is being protected by the fabled Atlanteans or some other ancient civilization such as the Olmecs.
"It doesn't sound too real to me," said Calvin Jones of the Florida state Division of Historical Resources. "Im always open minded because we're always learning new things. But the idea of a pyramid structure, let alone one made of glass, under more than 10 feet of water ? the chances are about one in a million."
Jones said if it is a genuine archaeological find, the pyramid would have to have been built between 10,000 B.C. and 6,000 B.C., when the continental shelf was not covered by water, said Chisholm. Florida archaeologists agree with him on the time span, but disagree with many other of his group's claims. Florida State University anthropologist Glen Doran professor said the earliest Near East pyramids are dated to about 4,000 B.C. and New World pyramids are dated after 1 A.D. So any such structure off the coast of Florida would be at least 2,000 years older than all other known pyramids.
In 1977, a mysterious discovery was made on the floor of the Atlantic concerning an unknown technology. A 650-foot pyramid was mysteriously lit up, with sparkling white water surrounding it that turned deep green, a shocking contrast to the dark black waters at that depth. The discovery was photographed by Ari Marshalls expedition off Cay Sal, Bahamas. Another huge pyramid, in 10,000 feet of Atlantic water, was reported to have been found by Tony Beniks expedition. More underwater pyramids were found off Central America, Yucatan, and Louisiana, where domes were found in the Straits of Florida. A marble Greek style building was found between Florida and Cuba. Other pyramids have been explored by a Dr. Ray Brown on the sea floor off the Bahamas in 1970. Brown was accompanied by four divers who also found roads, domes, rectangular buildings, and unidentified metallic instruments. The metal devices and crystals were taken to Florida for analysis at a university there.
During one of his dives, Brown came across a strange pyramid shape silhouetted against the aquamarine light. Upon investigating further, Brown was surprised by how smooth and mirror-like was the stone surface of the whole structure, with the joints between the individual blocks almost indiscernible. Brown discovered an entrance and decided to explore inside. Passing along a narrow hallway, Brown finally came to a small rectangular room with a pyramid-shaped ceiling. This room contained no algae or coral growing on the inner walls. They were completely spotless! In addition, though Brown had brought no torch with him, he could nevertheless see everything in the room with his normal eyesight. The room was well lit, but no direct light source was visible. Many of the worlds cities have been built on the sea shore. When the glaziers melt the ocean rises and covers many of the worlds ancient cities. The ocean is expected to rise if the ice and snow melts in the Arctic. Additionally, some areas tend to settle lower during earthquakes while some increase in height many thousands of feet like the Andes Mountains of South America.
On many sea floors around the world large high buildings with exquisite carvings have been found. These are not modern structures that often include pyramids, so surely they were created before they sank to the bottom of the sea. We are simply seeing the results of a cataclysmic earth changing events which resulted in raised sea levels and many lost coastal civilizations. It is likely to happen again as the Earth warms. http://www.philipcoppens.com/nap_art15.html
We were taught that radio was invented by an Italian named Guglielmo Marconi? And that the legendary Thomas Alva Edison devised today's electrical power system? "We were taught wrong," said Toby Grotz, president of the International Tesla Society. Two years before Marconi demonstrated his wireless radio transmission, [Nikola Tesla] performed an identical feat at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.
On June 21, 1943, in the case of Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. vs. the United States, the Supreme Court ruled that that Tesla's radio patents had predated those of the Italian genius. To be sure, Edison invented the incandescent light bulb. But he powered it and all of his other projects with inefficient direct current (DC) electricity. It was Tesla who discovered how to use the far more powerful phased form of alternating current (AC) electricity that is virtually the universal type of electricity employed by modern civilization.
There are indications that Tesla also discovered many of the devices ... for the Pentagon's controversial Star Wars antimissile defense system. "Tesla dreamed of supplying limitless amounts of power freely and equally available to all persons on Earth," said Grotz. And he was convinced he could do so by broadcasting electrical power across large distances just as radio transmits far smaller amounts of energy. Tesla's tests ... caused lights to burn as much as 26 miles away, according to news reports of the time.
Note: Tesla was written out of history texts likely because he advocated providing methods for extremely cheap electricity available to everyone. He successfully transmitted electricity through the air to lights 26 miles away. Yet the rich energy power brokers of his time could not stand for this. Only the little known Supreme Court ruling mentioned above restored his claim as original inventor of the radio.

Reported by Indians: A circular craft that flies the speed of a thought and came from the Star-king. It had seats. It included a strange shiny ball. A crop circle is involved. The beings are slight of stature.
The following Native American account is not merely suggestive of UFOs; it can without a doubt be termed a UFO sighting. It has a lightning fast UFO, crop circles, and specie collection. Not only is it one of the best examples of possible evidence that Extraterrestrial Biological Entity (EBE) existed before the 20th century, but the best documented. The account I now deal with was printed in a book published in 1871. The book was edited by General James S. Brisbin, U.S.A., and is an account about the real life history of George P. Belden while he spent 12 years among the Sioux Tribe. The story was a Sioux myth that was told to Mr. Belden before the American Civil War. One thing is certain this book was not tainted by any of the modern 20th century ideas about flight or aliens.
The story is found on Page 501 of the above mentioned book, and it forms a chapter called: "The Magic Circle on the Prairie." It is a story about a young hunter who stumbles upon an area on the prairie where the grass was missing because of a "circular path trodden smooth by long use." On the path the young hunter saw that recent prints had been made by what appeared to be small human feet. He then decides to hide in the tall grass and see what would turn up. He knew the being or beings would return because the circular path had been made "by long-continued and frequent use."
"After a short time his vigil was broken by music, very faint at first, but exceedingly sweet, which seemed to descend out of the heavens. Guided by the melody, his keen eye discovered a speck far up in the sky. Soon the speck grew larger, and the music plainer and sweeter still . . ." The object, now the size of a bird, approached nearer. Then the object was on top of the position and came to rest in the very middle of the circle. The story describes the object as a "magic car" (a word that in the 19th century meant chariot) and the story describes the object as "a very large basket, but made of very light ozier."
This account about the basket reminds one of the Southwestern Indians and their 'taweyah' (magic flying shield). The legend that Belden heard was no doubt very old and like most such tales it takes a romantic turn and includes such things as the young hunter turning himself into other forms. But this is to be expected since for a story to survive it had to become a mystic legend and carry teachings about life and religious power.
In the basket he sees what are called twelve fair "maidens" who sat on cushions inside the basket. (Remember that most baskets made by the Indians were round.) Each girl had a drum and as the craft landed the girls sprang out and began to dance around the basket and to "strike a shining ball from one to another."
The young hunter, after listening to their music, finds that he desires one of the maidens. He attempts to grab her but the twelve return quickly to the basket and take off. The basket speeds off "with the quickness of thought, back to the skies and out of sight." He returns several more times and takes the disguise of various animals so that he might sneak up on the maiden.
Finally he grabs the girl he desires and the other eleven leap in the basket and flies off again. The girl is forced to return with him to his village where she has his child. Finally she decides to escape and makes a large basket for herself and child. She then collects many items from the world to take back to her father the "Star-king". She makes her escape. But after some years she returns for her husband, the young hunter, because her father wants him to come to live with them. When the hunter "heard the message from the star "he accepts the invitation and spends many days collecting parts of many animals to take back. When also "he had collected specimens of all that was beautiful or useful in the chase", he took them to his wife and they took off in the basket. He comes to the star land and gives the presents to the Star-king. The story then ends on a note of magic as each of the star people pick from the gifts and are transformed into the animal that was represented by the specimen.
While this story is mixed with typical legendary lore it contains certain aspects that connect to the modern UFO accounts. It has a circular craft that can fly at the speed of a thought. This craft is said to come from the Star-king. It has 12 cushions or seats. The pilots play with some sort of ball that is shiny. The craft is connected to a large ring on the prairie where the grass has been trodden down. The beings are slight of stature and seem interested in collecting body-parts from animals. The young hunter is taken away to live with them. Even the sexual union is not unheard of in modern accounts. This story has all the elements of an Unidentified Flying Object. Those who remained behind attempted to understand the events around the object by attaching to it standard lore about magic and love. By: Kiva Traveler

Last Friday, the Houla massacre in Syria left 108 dead, most of them women and children executed in cold blood. Despite clear evidence of repeated detentions, torture and indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas by Syrian government forces, it has taken the horror of Houla to finally drive home to the world what has been obvious for months. The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said most of the 108 victims including 49 children and 34 women had been shot in their homes. No more than 20 had been killed by the tank and artillery fire which preceded the raid.
The Assad regime backed by Russia and China will continue its fight to stop the revolution and keep the government in power. But the Syrian people will not forget the massacre and the Sunni majority will rise up against the government. Turkey and other nations can be expected to provide weapons and ammunition. A battle cry to "Remember Houla" is now imprinted in their collective minds,
The armed uprising led by Syria's 90% majority Sunni Muslim dissidents is gaining strength and President Bashar al-Assad's minority Alawite sect will eventually lose power. Alawites are an offshoot of Shiite Islam who compromise 10 percent of Syria's population, and rose to political dominance five decades ago by controlling the army and security apparatus in the majority Sunni Muslim country.
The Assad family allowed the shabiha to emerge in the 1970s and gangs operated with few constraints and were generally seen as being above the law and ruling by force. Its members were reportedly armed by the Defense Brigades, paramilitary units commanded by Hafez's brother, Rifaat. Irregular "shabiha" forces unleashed against protesters, are blamed for most of the up close killings and terror.
Throughout the uprising, many Syrians have said they have seen heavily-armed men dressed in black fighting alongside the security forces and called "shabiha"... These men are accused not only of killing and beating some 9,000 people who attend demonstrations, but also of carrying out a campaign of intimidation that has included executions, drive-by shootings and sectarian attacks.
"They're not afraid to use violence, weapons, racketeering and blackmail," It is not clear exactly who they are and to whom they are loyal, but the term "shabiha" has repeatedly been used to describe them. Possibly derived from the Arabic word for "ghost" ("shabh"), it has come to mean "thugs" in modern day Syria. The people are facing a war of annihilation and the international community has done little. The people have nothing but religion for solace.
TOMBSTONE I was watching over my kids playing in a kiddy pool in our back yard on May 20, 2012, about 12:35 PM, and my eyes were drawn to a column of dust left by a dust devil. I noticed a hovering object that then started moving very slowly in an easterly direction. It was too high up, and away from any known objects to get any real perspective. It could have been as far away as over Phoenix and as high up as possibly orbital. It moved slowly south. My wife came out onto our back deck and asked what I was looking at and we noticed there was another smaller object nearby. She grabbed her Canon EOS Rebel with telescopic lens and took 49 pictures. We could see up to 13 of the smaller objects and several moved to the bigger object then moved away at a different direction. At 12:50 PM, I posted that we lost sight of them as they moved north and dissipated.
I have been with the military for 26+ years; much of it as an Intelligence and aviation analyst. I have never seen anything like this before. The only thing I can propose is that it was an unusual effect of the annular solar eclipse. The movement could be attributed to atmospherics and one star becoming visible while one was disappearing from view. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Reseeda -- We were sitting on the porch on June 3, 2912 when someone said, "What are those dots in the sky are those balloons? They were hovering perfectly still and totally unaffected by the wind. They were both white but as they began to move one of them changed to a pinkish red color. The orbs began to move across the sky slowly in a perfect line. They drifted over us at high altitude, as I noticed numerous other planes passing below them.
We followed the orbs across the sky and they disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
FORT COLLINS On June 1, 2012, at 10:30 PM, I was looking up at an incredibly bright streak in the front of a craft the shape of a shoebox but slightly wider. The front sloped down at a 45 degree angle and had a windshield on it. The craft was a dull grey aluminum flying at about 4,000 feet and traveling at 1,000+ miles per hour. My best guess it is probably 50 feet long, 35 feet wide and 20 feet high. The trail of light appeared to be caused by the craft traveling through the air, not by the propulsion unit. After about three seconds the craft dimmed and the mile long trail died out. The craft made no sound even though it was traveling fast and relatively close to me. Thanks to MUFON CMS
DOVER -- I was at work outside on my lunch break on May 28, 2012, when I saw three bright lights hovering over top the sky boxes on the other side of the track. I tried to get a picture but they were gone when I pulled my phone out. I then saw six bright lights appear, and got a picture of them hovering as one started moving very fast. I was kind of scared and my battery was completely drained. As quick as I could snap two pictures they were gone.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Plantation --My fianc was outside smoking cigarettes on January 1, 2012, around 9:30 pm about four minutes air time from the airport when he noticed these flying lights. By the time I got my camera phone ready I had captured about half of the lights before they disappeared into, well, into the air. The entire time these lights were in the sky - not one plane took off or landed.
TINLEY PARK -- I was at home in my driveway when I noticed a glowing orange object come out of a thunderstorm cloud that was south of my position on March 17, 2012. Object kept flying over my head and continued heading north. I took out my phone and snapped off pictures of it as it was coming toward me, and moving away. It made no noise and looked like a fireball. I watched the object fly north till it was no longer visible. When I enlarge the pictures the fireball is a glowing orange line that changes shape. I can make out the outline of the cylinder from the heat source. The glowing line is inside of the cylinder. My opinion is it was a cloaked object that was struck by lightning. Thanks to MUFON CMS
OVERLAND PARK - On June 4, 2012, this light showed up out of nowhere for a few seconds. It got very bright, then flew for a few seconds and disappeared into the night sky! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Cape Girardeau -- About 9:45 PM, on May 28, 2012, driving a mile from Southeast Medical Plaza, I could see a large commercial airliner making a landing approach across Highway I-55. Its lights were about 500 feet high descending over the Plaza. I didn't think Cape Girardeau had a commercial airport. She mentioned she'd seen some strange lights just before acknowledging the lights passing in front of us.
The object was about 300 feet in length and banked slightly right and leveled off! The front light was white and strobbing. Then there were two white lights close together, and three white lights "in-line" on the craft. The last three lights were in a tight triangle a distance from the two "middle" lights, but slightly higher "in-line" on the craft. The front light appeared to be under the nose with two lights under the center, and the last three lights were a small triangle in the middle of the tail. The top lights were green and the two bottom lights were red. This did not appear to be a FAA regulation lighting arrangement and we both thought the lights were strange, possibly approaching Cape Girardeau Regional airport. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Seaside Heights -- We were at the edge of the boardwalk on June 2, 2012, and saw a strange cloud far out into the ocean, at edge of the pier. It was just a large cloud rolling off the ocean coming towards us coming close to the pier and it turned south along the beach, over the water. We could easily make out 6 to 8 turbine type emissions like a propane torch from the rear without sound. We were very close and this vehicle was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed as it hovered 12 feet off the water.
This was a large vehicle with cloud cover surrounding most of the object with its flame type emissions. As it flew away, the fire like exhaust was eventually covered by a cloud. This case is under investigation by Ken Pfeifer of MUFON N.J. WORLD UFO PHOTOS
Lake Wylie -- I was with my wife, two sons (ages 14 and 13) and Daughter (age 9) fishing from my friends pier on May 27, 2012, in Belmont. My daughter pointed up to see a bright orange flood light hovering at 1,000 feet that then climbed out of sight. A couple of minutes later, another object descended from the east at high altitude and was followed by five other identical objects in LOOSE formation. They flew away in various directions as one maneuvered towards us until it was hovering 500 feet away and roughly 500 feet altitude. My son began taking pictures as the light slowly faded and there was a solid, deep black DISC shaped object hovering and spinning counter clockwise and maneuvering south towards the Duke Energy Allen Steam Station.
I am a Navy Veteran, in radar, air intercept operations and aircraft warfare and also saw UFOs in May of 2005, over Lake Wylie. I also saw disc shaped objects over the past few months and took pictures! I am VERY concerned about these objects interfering with the takeoff and landing patterns for Charlotte Airport. I have a video from last April, which clearly shows a commercial airplane taking evasive action away from a UFO while taking off to avoid this object. There HAS to be some pilots/Air Controllers that have knowledge of this. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Eugene -- Photographing interesting cloud formation, noticed in photo later on May 30, 2012.

GREENSBURG -- I was working outside and saw a shadow appear on the street on May 29, 2012, assuming it was a large bird, I looked up and saw a silver vertical swath of an object moving slower than the wind, at steady 4 mph, and traveling in line above the power lines. Wind was blowing in a slightly different direction. The sunlight reflected off it and it had bubble like impressions in the surface, the lower part was dark. A tree obstructed its view and it was gone. No other objects were in the sky. I saw it for ten seconds thirty feet in the air. It looked to me like the magnetic field from the power lines exposing the tangent of a sphere but not more than nine feet high was exposed. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

Greeneville --This photo was shot from my back porch, thats how close I am to Greene Mountain here in, TN. There was a storm coming and I noticed an unusual amount of clouds rolling down over the mountain on October 28, 2011, so I shot at least 20 photos, but did not physically see the objects until I uploaded it to my computer.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Grapevine -- On May 28, 2012, there was a storm with lightning so I went out back to take pictures about 9 PM. I started taking pictures when I saw a weird funnel and a light coming down as it started flying so I started filming. I have it all on my IPhone.
Note: The above video has been enhanced to show the light. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Wollongong My partner and I went to Wollongong Harbor to view the waves from a storm we were having on October 16, 2011. It was windy and dark, as we took photos of people in wet suits braving the waves when we captured the object. We didn't see it at the time only when we returned home to view the pictures on our computer. I believe that we are not alone and excited if its what it looks like.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Lebanon -- This video was taken May 26, 2012, at 4:49 AM using generation 3 pvs-7 night vision goggles recording onto a Sony Cyber shot camera. I noticed it had three lights and then as it got even closer it actually had four lights traveling northwest. It appears to be some sort of craft that may be mimicking an airplane since it has flashing lights. You can clearly see four bright lights or engines that are connected by a structure holding things together. It also connects from the front light to the back light through the middle of the craft. The tail light flashes, then the left light flashes, followed by the front light flashing. I did not see the right light flash.
Note: When I first viewed this infrared (IR) video I thought that the witness had videotaped a conventional aircraft, but still images and enlargements indicate that it was not a conventional aircraft. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com
Kengeri -- My family saw a UFO in the Bangalore sky on May 22, 2012.
After dinner we were on our terrace and my younger son Sanjay was sleeping facing the sky and said I can see a satellite moving. My son aged 18 and I saw a silently moving large triangle in the sky at 9.45 pm. We saw the object for 25 seconds and my wife joined us for a 15 second view. The object was five times bigger than an aircraft. After 20 minutes, the triangle flew north over Kengeriwith a fast small light following. The technology is not from the earth. Why isnt there a military toll free number to report when such incidences occur? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Durham On May 28, 2012, this witness has taken several videos and photos of strange airborne objects and lights. He says that he sees these objects and then takes videos and/or photos.

The sighting occurred in 30 July 1952, when RAF fighter pilot Flight Sergeant Roland Hughes was on a training flight over West Germany in a de Havilland Vampire FB9. As he was returning to base, he reported being intercepted by a "gleaming silver, metallic disc" which flew alongside his aircraft before speeding off. The mystery object was also detected by RAF radars on the ground, which recorded it travelling at speeds far in excess of any known aircraft.
Hughes reported the sighting to his senior officers who sent him to see Duncan Sandys, the then aviation minister, to brief him personally.
Following the meeting, Sandys went on to tell senior civil servants he was convinced by the airman's story.
The existence of the sighting has emerged in papers released by the Sir Winston Churchill Archive, at Cambridge University. The documents are among thousands released by the archive in recent years. In the airman's account, relayed via his son, he was in one of four aircraft from No. 20 Squadron, of the RAF's 2nd Tactical Air Force, returning to RAF Oldenburg, in northern West Germany, flying in formation at high altitude in clear visibility.
He reported seeing a sudden flash of "silver light" in the sky high above him which rapidly descended towards him until he could see that it was a "gleaming silver-metallic disc".
The airman said its surface was shiny, "like tin foil", and "without a single crease or crinkle in it". He could see, with "astonishing clarity", the aircraft's "highly reflective and absolutely seamless metallic-looking surface". He estimated its size at 100 feet across. It flew alongside him for several seconds before flying off at great speed.
After the sighting, Hughes was nicknamed "Saucer Sam" by colleagues, who painted a cartoon of a flying saucer on his jet?

Harare -- On May 2, 2012, at 14:49 pm, I have just seen a UFO, as I was looking at an Ethiopian Airlines plane that had just turned from taking off and the object was behind it! It was really high in the sky and changed shape a few times from being circular to being elongated, when it was circular it was white, pretty easy to see, when it was elongated it was a grayish color. It was about the size of a star, it stayed as a circular shape for about five minutes. It seemed to move and flew a bit lower and grew in size. It just zoomed off fast and disappeared!

On a local Missouri TV station on Sunday, Missouri U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) claimed that "legitimate rape" does not lead to pregnancy. Akin's claims have prompted outcries from both sides of the aisle, and caused increased scrutiny on the Romney-Ryan ticket's stance on abortion access.
"First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare," Akin said to KTVI-TV. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child." [Emphasis added]
This is not the first time Akin has trivialized rape. Last year Akin and current GOP Vice-Presidential candidate Paul Ryan were two of the original co-sponsors of the controversial "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act." Federal law already prohibits the use of Medicaid funds (as well as all other government funds) from paying for abortions, but existing regulations make an exception for women who are raped. The proposed bill would have narrowed this exception further, allowing only women who could prove they had been "forcibly raped" to terminate their pregnancies with government funds. The public outcry against this language eventually caused it to be removed from the bill.
The Romney campaign is attempting to distance their ticket from Akin's comments. Romney said on Monday that "Congressman Akin's comments on rape are insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly, wrong." Although Romney and Ryan may be able to disavow Akin's claim that rape survivors do not usually get pregnant, it will be much more difficult for them to distance themselves from Akin's central point, that abortion should be illegal in all cases, including rape. Both Romney and Ryan are on record supporting personhood amendments, which ban abortion in all cases. Ryan actually co-sponsored a personhood amendment at the national level in the House. In a 2007 Presidential debate, Romney went on record stating that he would be "delighted" to sign a bill banning abortion in all cases.
The race for US Senate in Missouri between incumbent Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill and Congressman Akin is one of the most closely watched in the country, as GOP hopes for reclaiming control of the Senate hinge heavily on Akin defeating McCaskill in November. Monday morning GOP Senator Scott Brown (MA) called on Akin to drop out of the race.
In response to Akin's comments, Senator McCaskill said, "It is beyond comprehension that someone can be so ignorant about the emotional and physical trauma brought on by rape. The ideas that Todd Akin has expressed about the serious crime of rape and the impact on its victims are offensive."

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Doctors may miss some cases of pneumonia if they rely solely on their patient's medical history and symptoms without the help of x-rays, according to a new study from Europe.
Dutch researchers, who published their findings in the European Respiratory Journal, found that of 140 patients who had their pneumonia diagnosed by x-ray, doctors initially thought only 41 of them had the severe lung infection.
"That's worse than flipping a coin," said Dr. Richard R. Watkins, who was not involved with the new research but has studied how doctors diagnose pneumonia.
"I think that's an argument for doing chest x-rays," said Watkins, from Ohio's Akron General Medical Center.
People with pneumonia may have a cough, fever, nausea, vomiting, chills or chest pain. Under some circumstances, the infection can put someone in an intensive care unit and even turn fatal.
In 2009, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says about 1.1 million Americans were hospitalized with pneumonia, and about 50,000 died from it.
According to the researchers, led by Dr. Saskia van Vugt from the University Medical Center in Utrecht, most doctors use their best judgment in deciding who has pneumonia, because it's not possible to give everyone an x-ray to check for signs of the infection.
Little was known, however, about how accurate doctors are with their diagnoses, wrote the researchers.
For the new study, van Vugt and her colleagues used information collected between October 2007 and April 2010 on 2,810 adult patients of doctors in 12 European countries.
All of the patients came to the doctors' offices with a cough, but only 72 were initially diagnosed with pneumonia. All of the patients were then given a chest x-ray to see how accurate the doctors' diagnoses were.
Of those 72 initial diagnoses, the x-rays showed 31 did not have pneumonia. In the rest of the group, the researchers found the doctors missed 99 cases.
Overall, the doctors correctly diagnosed less than a third of pneumonia cases.
DOCTOR'S JUDGMENT v X-RAY
While catching only 29 percent of pneumonia cases seems alarming, Watkins said there may be differences between how doctors in Europe and the U.S. diagnose the infection.
He told Reuters Health that it's common for U.S. doctors to order x-rays if they suspect pneumonia.
In fact, joint guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America and American Thoracic Society call for an x-ray to diagnose pneumonia, he said.
"The risk of radiation (from an x-ray) is very small versus the risks of a potentially life-threatening infection," said Watkins.
Dr. Joseph Rencic, a staff physician at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, told Reuters Health that getting an x-ray for a pneumonia diagnosis depends on the doctor.
"I wouldn't say every patient like this will get an x-ray, because it would be an overwhelming cost to society," Rencic, who was not involved with the new research, told Reuters Health.
In the U.S., a standard chest x-ray costs about $44 per patient.
Still, Rencic said patients shouldn't worry that their doctors may be missing their pneumonia.
"Basically these are probably benign pneumonias that they are missing. Doctors are pretty good at recognizing when pneumonia isn't present," he said.

Syrian authorities have released a total of 61 women detainees, an activist group said Thursday, the latest in a three-way prisoner exchange that was one of the more ambitious negotiated deals in the country's civil war in which rival factions remain largely opposed to any bartered peace.
Meanwhile, electricity returned to parts of Damascus, hours after a power cut plunged the capital and other parts of the country into darkness.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Thursday the government of President Bashar Assad had freed the women over the past two days. There was no immediate comment from Syrian officials, nor details on who the women are or their current location.
The Observatory said the release was part of a complicated hostage swap last week brokered by Qatar and the Palestinian Authority that saw Syrian rebels free nine Lebanese Shia Muslims, while Lebanese gunmen simultaneously released two Turkish pilots.
Lebanese officials have said a third part of the deal called for the Syrian government to free a number of women detainees to meet the rebels' demands.
The involvement of Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Qatar and the Palestinian Authority in the deal showed the extent to which the Syrian crisis, now in its third year, has washed across the wider region.
Syria's crisis began in March 2011 with largely peaceful protests against Assad, and slowly turned into an insurgency and then a full-blown civil war. More than 100,000 people have been killed in the conflict, while another two million have sought refuge from the violence abroad.
In Damascus, power was gradually returning to at least parts of the city by early Thursday, after a blackout swept across the capital and other parts of the country late the previous day.
One Damascus resident said that electricity had been restored to his neighbourhood after a three-hour cut. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of security concerns.
Syria's state news agency quoted Electricity Minister Imad Khamis as saying authorities plan to have power back online to all areas within 48 hours.
The government has blamed the outage on a rebel attack that it says damaged a gas pipeline that supplies fuel to power stations in southern Syria.
Oil Minister Suleiman Abbas said maintenance crews were working to supply the Tishrin power station southeast of Damascus with fuel via a reserve pipeline. Technical teams were also trying to repair the primary pipeline that was damaged Wednesday. It was not clear how extensive the latest blackout was.
Damascus and southern Syria have been struck by several major power outages over the course of the country's civil war. Many rebel-held parts of the country have been without power for months.
Despite international efforts to try to broker a political solution to the conflict, the fighting has shown no signs of abating.
Rebels fired at least 15 mortar rounds on Thursday that slammed into the pro-government Damascus suburb of Jaramana, which is populated predominantly by Christians and Druse.
It is close to another suburb, Mleiha, where fighting between rebels and government forces has been raging for days.
Also Thursday, government warplanes carried out airstrikes on opposition positions around Mleiha and another suburb called Saqba, while the military shelled the rebel-held suburbs of Jobar and Qaboun, the Observatory said.
North of the capital, a car bomb in the central city of Homs killed one person and wounded at least 40, the state news agency said.

glxgears is an OpenGL program that reports FPS (frames per second) numbers. However, it is a very limited 'test'. Unlike most modern 3D games, glxgears:
- has an extremely low vertex/polygon count
- does no texturing at all
- only simple, flat shading is used (except inside the hole in each gear is simple smooth shading)
- all vertex data is stored in a display list, so almost nothing passes between host CPU and video card once rendering is started. This mostly implies video card fill rate is limited. But, see next point.
- the default window size is 300x300, a large part of which is not even rendered into, so it's not even a good fill rate test
- the entire render step consists of only 21 OpenGL functions calls, of which only 6 are unique. This is not a very good OpenGL API stress test. Something like glean would be better.
So to summarize, glxgears only tests a small part of what you typically see in a 3D game. You could have glxgears FPS performance increase, but your 3D game performance decrease. Likewise, you could have glxgears performance decrease and your 3D game performance increase.

Setting another round of anticipation and speculation into gear, auditions have begun to recast the role of Christian Grey in the adaptation of E.L. James' novel "Fifty Shades of Grey," the Hollywood Reporter says.
Following the high-profile departure of actor Charlie Hunnam from the lead role as an S&M aficionado / billionaire, the filmmaking team has been forced to scramble in hopes of making the planned release date of August 2014. Directed by Sam Taylor-Wood, the film's screenplay is said to be in the process of being rewritten by Patrick Marber.
Actors Billy Magnussen and Jamie Dornan are said to have both read for the part opposite actress Dakota Johnson. Johnson was announced for the role at the same time as Hunnam and is apparently sticking by the part. (And the filmmakers are sticking by her.)
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
The new opening for the role has set off quite the round of comedy among actors on Twitter.
Emile Hirsch (@EmileHirsch) posted a photo of himself in a Lone Ranger/bondage mask. Noah Segan declared "I am prepared to accept the role of Christian Slater in 50 Shades of Slater." Seth Rogen (@SethRogen) put himself up for the part (more specifically a certain body part) in a manner unprintable here. Patton Oswalt (@PattonOswalt) accepted the role while asking, "Do they sell Spanx on Amazon?"

CRESTVIEW � Mosaic Church�s military wives can count on others while their husbands serve overseas.
CRESTVIEW � Mosaic Church�s military wives can count on others while their husbands serve overseas.
The church�s Military Wives Network assists busy spouses with yard work, automotive repairs or other everyday tasks.
Regardless of the service needed, the church finds members who can help 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) members, nearly 70 percent of whom comprise the congregation, women's ministry leader Christie Ross said.
"Most are (military wives) at home without their husbands and they were looking for a church," she said. "They come here."
If a military spouse has car trouble, Ross links her with a trusted mechanic; the service particularly helps while husbands are away, Julie Drost, a mother of four, said.
"We wives have a real issue with getting ripped off ... with car maintenance," she said.
The network also offers moral support.
"One of the things the guys are really concerned about is that their wives are going to be lonely or just sitting in their homes by themselves," Julie said. "We try to make it a point to reach out to new members and let them know (for instance) when we are going to the park."
Mom�s Night Out, a free, three-hour childcare service on the first Friday each month, allows mothers to run errands or enjoy free time.
Drost, who moved to Crestview from Fort Bragg, N.C., has called the church and its services a "blessing."
Her husband, Josh, agreed.
"When you�re deployed, you are always worried about your family," he said. "Just knowing that someone can take care of my house ... is a big stress relief."
Josh, a 7th Special Forces engineer sergeant, hascompleted several deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Soon, he will train in Costa Rica and North Carolina.
When that time comes, he and Julie can speak about more important things on the phone.
"We're not talking about what's getting done at the house," Josh said. "We're talking about how much we love each other."

LONDON (AP) -- The English Football Association has fined Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson $18,900 for implying a linesman was biased while officiating a game.
After a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last month, Ferguson was angry that linesman Simon Beck didn't award a penalty kick when United was leading 1-0.
Ferguson said during a television interview ''there was no way we were going to get a decision from'' Beck. He cited Beck's 2010 decision to allow a goal by Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, who the manager said was offside.
An FA independent regulatory commission ruled Friday that Ferguson was guilty of misconduct because he ''implied that the match official was motivated by bias.''

Devon v Soto-Karass is going to be a whitewash IMO. Soto's done, and Devon's either going to shut him out in a borefest or KTFO him early, and then demand that Floyd stop ducking him.
I've never seen the dude that Ghost is fighting. I'm more looking forward to the Ghost's post-fight demand that Pacquiao stop ducking him.
Lomachenko is going to grind up Russell in a great fight. Russell is going to have a ton of speed early and win rounds, but Loma will commit to the body and slow him down and catch him in the middle rounds and either end it, or have Russell wobbling for the last few rounds.

Janice May Gannon Staver, 73, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, died Wednesday August 14, at her home in Rowena surrounded by family and friends.
She was born December 11, 1939 in Rochester, MN, the first of three children to Lloyd and Gladys (Sorenson) Gannon. She grew up on a dairy farm in Rochester and spent as much time outdoors with the animals and farm machinery as her mother would allow. She was a natural horseback rider, practicing tricks on her Shetland ponies and riding her lively black horse Turk An active 4H member, she claimed grand champion at the Minnesota state fair with her
Jersey heifer Rosebud. She adored her Czech grandmother's cooking and would later recreate her Bohemian duck dinners for her family, complete with homemade sauerkraut and potato dumplings.
She attended Lourdes High School in Rochester, graduating in 1957. She then studied math and engineering at Rochester Junior College, before moving to Denver, CO, in 1961 to conduct research in electroencephalography (EEG), becoming one of the first certified EEG technologists in the country. There she met Robert (Bob) Allen Staver, a medical student at the University of Colorado who was assigned to work in her lab. They were married on June 20, 1964, in Rochester, MN. They lived in Denver, St. Paul, Guam, and Omaha before settling in The Dalles, OR, where they raised their three children Jeffrey, Jennifer, and Jonathan. After living in town for a few years, Bob and Janice built a home in Rowena surrounded by
beautiful views of the Columbia
River Gorge.
Janice was an accomplished artist and musician as well as a full-time Mom. She completed a BA in art from Marylhurst College in 1987 after commuting to Portland once weekly for nearly ten years. Her art was inspired by the natural landscape and by the beauty she saw in the ordinary. She worked in many media and often used found objects -- wasp nests, bird feathers, and ash from Mt. St. Helens all found their way into her work.
She loved music of all sorts, but her heart belonged to the old-time fiddle music of Appalachia. She played for many years with the Mill Creek String Band and would jam until dawn at any opportunity. She also played the violin in the Mid-Columbia Sinfonietta and sang soprano with Cascade Singers for many years.
Janice loved the Gorge community, volunteering her talents to engage all in the arts and environment. She was a founding member of Wonderworks, active with the Mid-Columbia Folklore Society, and served on the Columbia River Gorge Commission.
Janice created a home of warmth, laughter, and tradition. She engaged life in a way that continues to inspire all who knew her. Janice drew our attention to the sometimes subtle beauty that surrounds us and is so often overlooked -- the shape of a rock, the brilliant blue of a feather. Her love of life and those with whom she shared it remains a blessing to us all.
She will be so greatly missed by many friends and family members including her husband of 49 years, Bob Staver, her daughter Jennifer Hohenlohe, her husband Paul and their two children Saskia and Soren, her son Jonathan, his wife Rachel Winer, and their daughter Maya, her brother John Gannon, her sister Joanne Gustafson, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and her son Jeffrey.
A celebration of her life will be held on Sunday, September 8th, 2013 at 6pm at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center. A private burial was held on Sunday, August 18th at the Staver family home in Rowena.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Mid-Columbia Folklore Society, Wonderworks, The Dalles Art Center, and Hospice of the Gorge.
Bob, Jennifer, Jonathon so sorry for your loss. Karen (Gannon) Kramer

Thomas A. Saenz, MALDEF President and General Counsel, Introduces Open Letter Written by Dolores Huerta to Senator John. McCain
WASHINGTON, DC - For the past eleven days, student supporters of the DREAM Act have been fasting outside of Republican Senator John McCain's Phoenix, Arizona district office in support of passage of the DREAM Act (the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act).
Dolores Huerta, civil rights icon and co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America, has recently joined the group's water-only fast in support of the DREAM Act. She joined students Dulce Juarez and Celso Mireles, as well as the mother of a DREAM Act student Rosa Marta Soto. Together, the group hand delivered an open letter to Senator McCain, urging the Senator and other legislators to listen to the overwhelming will of the American public and vote Yes on the DREAM Act.
Thomas A. Saenz, President and General Counsel of MALDEF, calls on the public to read an open letter to Senator McCain written by civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, and on the Senate to pass the DREAM Act:
"Following the historic and courageous House vote to pass the urgently needed DREAM Act, the Senate has postponed its vote because there are an insufficient number of senators willing to permit a vote on DREAM. Any senators who lack the courage to do the right thing and allow a vote on this important legislation need look no further than the legendary Dolores Huerta, who together with many students across the country, is engaged in a fast to convince the Senate to pass the DREAM Act. There is ample bravery among these activists to close the courage deficit in Washington and pass the DREAM Act."
Please read Dolores Huerta's open letter to Arizona's Senator John McCain:
Dear Senator McCain:
You stood shoulder to shoulder with me and Cesar Chavez's family at the unveiling of the official commemorative postal stamp in honor of Cesar Chavez. We need you to live up to the legacy of justice you represented in that press conference. Vote to bring the DREAM Act to the Senate floor, and vote to pass DREAM Act into law.
Seventy percent of the people in the United States support the DREAM ACT. Do the will of the American public. As Cesar Chavez often said, "It Can Be Done." . Throughout your distinguished career, Senator, you have continually identified with the legacy of Cesar Chavez, a native son of your own state of Arizona.
As sponsor and chief spokesperson for SB164 the "Cesar Estrada Chavez Study Act" for the past decade. You invoked Cesar Chavez's passions for justice and education as if they were your own. You continuously identified with his legacy.
You said:
"Mr. Chavez's legacy is an inspiration to us all and he will be remembered for helping Americans to transcend distinctions of experience and share equally in the rights and responsibilities of freedom. It is important that we honor his struggle..."
"Cesar Chavez, an Arizonan born in Yuma, was the son of migrant farm workers…. His efforts on behalf of some of the most oppressed individuals in our society are an inspiration, and through his work he made America a bigger and better nation.
And quoted Cesar's words:
"We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own."
The young DREAM Act students with whom I am fasting believe that you can once again stand tall with independence and conviction, and that you will continue Cesar Chavez's legacy by bringing justice to the DREAM students.
The benefits of this bill for our country are great. There will be educated professionals contributing to the American economy. They will bring in billions of revenue from taxes and will help us create jobs. The Congressional Budget Office reports that DREAM Act students would help cut the federal deficit by $1.4 billion over 10 years and would generate $2.4 billion in revenue. A UCLA study estimated this revenue number would be $3.6 trillion over a forty year span.
For children whose only home has been the United States and never committed a crime, you can offer your hand so they can contribute their talents to our society.
They are students—Dream Act students—with a passion for the service of others and this great country. You must not turn your back on them.
Senator McCain, you are aware of this hunger and this passion, because you are a father who cares about providing opportunity for your children. You are a decorated veteran who cares about protecting our country. You are a distinguished leader in the U.S. Senate who cares deeply about the future of our nation.
The fasting DREAM Act students (Dulce Juarez and Celso Mireles, as well as the mother of a DREAM Act student Rosa Marta Soto) outside your office are hungry for knowledge and eager for the opportunities to learn and to serve our great country. But they are not alone. Joining them in this fast and in this fight for justice are students from Illinois, California, Washington, D.C., Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Florida and New York. They are looking to you for leadership, Senator. With your past support of the DREAM Act, you have shown this leadership. They need you now.
You are in a unique position to make the difference and bring justice for these students by exerting your leadership in the Senate. Please continue your commitment to honor Cesar Chavez's legacy by voting YES for the DREAM Act. ¡Sí Se Puede!

TIGERVILLE, S.C. – Equaling its longest winning streak since April 2013, the King University softball team swept Conference Carolinas foe North Greenville University, taking an extra innings affair in the first game before erasing a 3-0 deficit in the second to secure a 10-game winning streak and move into first place in the league standings.
The Tornado (22-19, 7-3 Conference Carolinas) next take the field on Thursday in a nonconference twinbill against Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, N.C. The Bears sport a 27-8 record and are ranked 14th in the latest national poll. A Tornado win in the first game Thursday would give King its longest winning streak in the NCAA era, which began during the 2011 season.
Tori McComas was the hero for King in the first game, driving in both runs of King's 2-1 extra-innings victory. The game was scoreless going into the seventh inning, with both pitchers combining to allow just three total hits through the first six frames. Cassie Ringstaff led off with an infield single and was moved to second base on a Fallon Thomas sacrifice bunt. After a flyout to right field, McComas drove home Ringstaff with an RBI single to break the scoreless tie.
But the Crusaders (19-12, 7-5 Conference Carolinas) would rally in the bottom of the frame to force extra innings. Morgan Roach led off with a double before a pinch runner was advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt. An RBI fielder's choice tied the score at one before the Tornado were able to end the inning.
Neither team was able to break the tie in the eighth, but a two-out RBI double from McComas plated Ringstaff, who had been placed at second base in accordance with international tiebreak rules, to give King the 2-1 advantage. Hannah Light, who pitched a complete game three-hitter, ended the game with two lineouts to strand the tying and winning runs on the basepaths.
After striking out six batters with just one walk in nine innings of work in the first game, Light ran her record to 21-13 on the season with six innings of work in the second game. She allowed seven runs, all of them earned, on 13 hits, but left with the lead by virtue of a five-run explosion by the Tornado in the top of the fifth inning.
The biggest blow in the fifth came with the bases loaded and two outs in the inning. With two runs already in and King leading 5-3, Morgan Lowe hit a tapper in front of the plate. The Crusaders' catcher was unable to make a play on Hannah Smith coming home and sailed the throw to first base, allowing three runs to score and King to stretch its lead to 8-3. King would add an additional run in the sixth on a solo home run by Thomas, who went 3-for-4 with three runs scored and two batted in during the second game. Amber Walker also went 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI.
Morgan Lowe earned the first save of her career with a perfect inning in relief of Light to close out the day's second game. Light totaled eight strikeouts in her 15.0 total innings of work in the doubleheader, giving her 209 strikeouts for the season. Light is ranked third across all three NCAA divisions in total strikeouts, trailing Francis Marion University's Taylor Luff by one strikeout for second place and national leader India Kornegay of USC Aiken by 15 punchouts.
King's doubleheader with Lenoir-Rhyne will begin at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
