Slovenians See UFO in Ajdovscina, Ozeljan, and Shempas
10-16-08-There was an unusual sighting last night in Slovenia when several people noticed a strange, large object, believed to be a UFO, reports local media.
Several people from Ajdovscina, Ozeljan and Shempas heard an unusual sound and noticed a large flying object that moved chaotically. Around 18:00 hrs, the Vipavskaa valley was left without electricity, while the mobile phones had no signal.
A.Z. of Shempas, Nova Gorica, says he noticed the large object in the sky which flew in chaotic pattern, while the air seemed to be electricized.
"It was very strange. We have never seen anything like it in this area" says A.Z. who adds that the people in this area would have never believed in UFOs, but there they are.
This is the n-th time when UFOs appeared near power stations, and the surrounding villages or small cities lose power. UFO experts believe the alien craft practically steal the energy (from remote power stations) needed for their craft to stay afloat. The last incident when UFOs showed up and drained the electricity from a small city was in British Columbia, Canada, two weeks ago.
In a room, a grandmother sits on her granddaughter's bed to tell her a story. Her granddaughter's name is Martha and her room is decorated with an alien bedspread and posters of aliens from books and the Star Wars movie
“Do you believe in aliens?” asks her grandmother. “Yes," answers Martha in her little voice. "Then you will like this story," says her grandmother. Then she begins:
"A long time ago, when I was on my way to my friend's birthday party, it started raining and I had to turn and go back home. When I reached home I started reading a book. After some time when I looked out the window I saw that it had stopped raining. I went closer to the window and just then there was thunder and I saw something that looked like a flying saucer.
I ran outside and I saw that it was really a flying saucer. I was scared from the beginning but when its door opened and I saw the creatures that were inside it I was even more frightened and tried to runaway. They asked me my name and I told them that my name was Monica. I also asked them their names but they told me that their parents didn't give them names.
I didn't hear every word they said but I got the last word, which was "water." I asked them what they said and they wrote a sentence on the ground. It said, "We have come for water because all the water on our planet is finished".
At that time it started raining again and I was angry because I had spent all that time talking to them instead of going to the party. Then all of a sudden a big machine came out of the flying saucer and collected all the rain water from the sky. I was so happy that I told them to come for rain anytime it rained.
Later that day when I went to the party I told my friends about the aliens but they didn't believe me because l always made up stories and they thought that was one of them.
"Tell me another story, tell me another story," said Martha when her grandmother had finished telling her the story, but her grandmother said no. "You will go to school tomorrow, so go to sleep.
“Goodnight, Martha.”

Knox County Man is Eye in Sky for Strange Sightings
By Garret Mathews
Originally published 09:55 p.m., October 11, 2008
GARRET MATHEWS / Courier & Press Jerry Sievers, 69, is state director of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), an international agency that investigates unexplained aerial sightings.
VINCENNES, Ind. — A strange object appears in the sky and gives off an equally mysterious wave of light that trails off into the darkness.
Who you gonna call?
Jerry Sievers.
The 69-year-old Knox County man is state director of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), an international agency that investigates unexplained aerial sightings. There are about 3,000 members worldwide — including comedian Dan Aykroyd — and approximately four dozen in Indiana.
Sievers says he's seen "hundreds of questionable flying objects." He says he's talked with "a dozen or so credible persons" who claim to have been abducted.
"A lot of people think I'm a kook," the retired security guard admits, "but I get the impression that more and more individuals believe it's arrogant to have the feeling we're the only life form in the galaxy. There could well be other planets like the Earth orbiting other suns."
Sievers points to UFO programs on the History and Discovery channels as proof that believers have a foothold in society.
And he cites a "very strange occurrence" in March of this year in Kokomo, Ind.
"There was a loud explosion, and the police were dispatched to a debris field. There were all sorts of vehicles from ambulances to school buses, but officially it was labeled a nonevent. Later, the field looked like it had been bulldozed and any evidence removed."
Sievers said MUFON investigators talked to 22 witnesses who claimed they saw UFOs over Kokomo.
"One described a black triangle with lights trailing about the time of the explosion. There was background radiation, but nothing was determined."
Sievers hasn't been able to walk unaided since he was a toddler because of a muscular disease that until recently was believed to be polio.
"They're not specifically certain on what I have, but the bottom line is I can't get up off the couch without crutches. Because I don't get around so well, I don't go out in the field too much any more. I find myself coordinating the efforts of others."
He believes there are alien objects whose inhabitants "have harmful intent" but admits MUFON volunteers differ on the subject.
"Some think they are scoping us out with an eventual plan for the mingling of the races. In that sense, we're like lab animals. A few others see a more spiritual end of it. They believe the UFOs are angels coming to save us."
Sievers blames the government for years of denial.
"When I first got interested, the avowed purpose of saying there were no UFOs was to prevent panic. Those in charge were ordered to tell the public that any peculiar sightings were just swamp gas."
Knox County, Sievers points out, has a history of bizarre goings-on in this regard.
"A lot of it occurred in an area known as Lucky Point, not far from Monroe City. From the 1960s to the 1980s, there were almost daily reports of strange lights in the sky and electrical interference. People were sitting in their cars, and all of a sudden their radios went out. It got so bad at one point that the town marshal had to go out there and direct traffic."
He recalls a 1985 incident.
"I was there with a friend for some night watching. I'm in a lawn chair, and she's walking the road. Over the ridge comes a reddish ball of light with two white lights at a 45-degree angle. In 10 seconds, it was gone.
"Twenty minutes later, a bigger orange ball of light raised up above the road and then moved slowly toward the south. Those were the most definitive things I've ever seen."
Not all his visits to Lucky Point were so fruitful.
"I've spent the entire night in that area and seen absolutely nothing."
He says MUFON workers have talked with people who claim aliens have implanted radio wires in their skulls as tracking devices.
"I believe only about 2 percent of people make up stuff to get attention. I mean, why would you want to open yourself up to ridicule? And sometimes people are just wrong. There was a strange beam of light reported not long ago in northern Indiana, but it turned out to be a police helicopter."
Sievers, who has no formal scientific training, notes that it isn't the job of UFO investigators to determine if the person making a claim is telling the truth.
"We just do the legwork and file the reports."
He smiles.
"I've talked to all the police dispatchers around here. They know to contact me if anything comes up."
Sievers recalls one woman who claimed she had been abducted.
"They brought in a hypnotist to talk her through the experience. When she got to the part about the aliens, she became so traumatized he had to bring her out of it before she caused physical damage to herself."
Other people, he says, have said the aliens have the appearance of an image on a projection screen.
"But I'm sworn to secrecy about these matters."
Would it be vindication if a UFO landed in Times Square?
"I want to hope for that," he says, "but, truthfully, in my lifetime I don't think there will be a solution."
Scientists Develops Programme to Understand Alien Languages
By Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent
Last Updated: 6:01pm BST 15/10/2008
A computer programme which could help identify and even translate messages from aliens in outer space has been developed by a British scientist.
Even if there are extra terrestrials are one day discovered, scientists fear their alien tongue may make it impossible to understand them.
But John Elliott of Leeds Metropolitan University believes he has come up with software which at least will decipher the structure of their language - and be the first step in understanding what they are saying.
Dr Elliott's programme would compare an alien language to a database of 60 different languages in the world to search see if it has a similar structure.
He believes that even an alien language far removed from any on Earth is likely to have recognisable patterns that could help reveal how intelligent the life forms are.
"Language has to be structured in a certain way otherwise it will be inefficient and unwieldy," he told New Scientist magazine.
Previous research had shown that it is possible to determine whether a signal carries a language rather than an image or music.
Dr Elliott, from Leeds Metropolitan University, has gone a step further by devising a way to pick out what might be words and sentences.
All human languages have "functional terms" that bracket phrases - words like "if" and "but" in English.
According to Dr Elliott, such terms in any language, are separated by up to nine words or characters.
This limit on phrase length seems to correspond to the level of human cognition - how much information we are able to process at once.
In an alien language, analysing these phrases might make it possible to gauge how clever the authors of the message are.
If they are much smarter than us, there would a lot of words packed into the phrases.
The programme should also be able to break a language up into crucial words such as nouns and verbs, even though their meaning is unknown.
It can, for instance, locate adjectives from the fact that they are almost always next to nouns.
Because languages have different word orders, Dr Elliott is amassing a library of the syntaxes of 60 human tongues.
If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database. Scientists would then be able to see if it resembled anything human, or a mix of Earthly languages.
Dr Elliott admits that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying it may still be necessary to have a "code book" of some sort.
But US linguist Dr Sheri Wells-Jensen, from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, points out that "you have to start somewhere".
She added: "My money is on being able to understand aliens."
After a long lapse of not hearing any new stories about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), I heard one from another reliable source Sunday afternoon.
And of all places, I was told the story at the second Creek Freaks' annual picnic at Lynch Park in Rocky Mount.
It also came from an unsuspecting source. A long-time friend and retired dairy farmer Galen Brubaker and his wife, Ruby, said they had been planning to tell me this story earlier but never got around to it.
Galen and Ruby were special guests. They are the ones who gave the county five acres of land, just upstream of the old steel Coles Creek bridge, for canoe access and a playground beside the Blackwater River.
The Brubakers said their encounter took place in the mid-1960s in Arizona. They were on vacation and that particular day had gone to see the Grand Canyon. They were on their way to Flagstaff.
Their four daughters started talking about the bright moon, while looking toward the west. Galen didn't realize at first what they were talking about because he could see the moon coming up in the east. The girls were looking to the other side of the car.
When everyone in the car got on the same page, they realized there was, indeed, a bright object on the left side of the vehicle, and the moon was on the right side as they traveled north toward Flagstaff.
Brubaker said the object appeared to be about twice the size of the moon. He also estimated it to be about 1,000 feet away from the vehicle.
"At times, it appeared to be following the car," he recalled.
As they watched the object, their youngest daughter, Brenda, became scared and remembered something she'd heard from the Bible about an object coming from the sky and taking the youngest child.
Daughter, Jeanette, the oldest, told her baby sister that no, she was wrong. The object took the oldest, not the youngest child.
Galen said he decided to pull over so he could get a better look at the object. Brubaker and his wife said the object was round in shape and very bright. They estimated they watched the object from the parked car around 10 minutes, although neither was looking at their watches.
They said the girls became nervous and wanted to get away from the object, so they resumed their trip and lost sight of the object behind trees.
The next morning, the Flagstaff and other daily newspapers in the area, had headlines about the UFO sightings from many residents in the area.
They brought the newspapers back home, and Ruby made note of the UFO sighting.
"I've got the newspapers and the notes at home, but I'm not sure where they are now," Ruby said.
They, like others, don't know for sure that it was a UFO, but that's what Galen and Ruby believe, and so do their four daughters.

I live on Long Island in New York. In 1965 we had a huge blackout that covered about six other states and parts of Canada. It was in the fall, November, I believe. I was about 14 or so at the time.
I recall the blackout and all the fuss about it. My parents spent the day running around to provide us with lights, heat, and food. We ate hot dogs cooked over the fireplace in the living room and played games. My Dad had a little transistor radio that provided updates about the blackout and general news.
I clearly recall sitting on the front steps of my house with my good friend Barbara, who lived next door, that night. We were singing and laughing and killing time while the world sat dark and silent. We sat on the front steps singing our hearts out until about 10:30 or so that night. I recall it being a very crisp typical New York fall night.
All of a sudden, we saw a huge, orange-reddish-yellowish ball or orb streak across the sky over the houses. It was enormous. It went across the entire sky and was gone. I never saw anything like it before. Barbara thought it was a meteor or comet that was crashing through our space. We ran inside and told the adults. My Dad came out looked and went back inside. It was nowhere to be seen.
I think we listened to the radio to see if they talked about what it was. I honestly do not recall anything other then seeing this huge red orb object on that day. As I look back at it I realize how odd it was that I took that sighting so lightly-and realize maybe, actually, I didn't!
My life went on and I did not think much about that day. From time to time I would see the image of that huge burning ball in my head, but would just chalk it up to part of the blackout that many others witnessed as well.
One day years later I was out with my mother. I was now an adult in my mid 40’s. I would often take my mom out with me on my day off... We went for a ride on the Long Island coast and I treated my mom to lunch. I was going to drive through the town where I lived during that blackout. I thought it would be fun to ride my mother past our old house before heading to lunch.
As we drove by the house where we once lived, I off handedly remarked to my mother about the night of big blackout.
I said to my mother, “That was some day mom, I can still see that huge red burning ball as if it was yesterday.”
My mother looked at me curiously and said, “What are you talking about? What burning ball?”
I looked at my mom: ”You know that huge burning ball that fired across the sky the night of the blackout.”
My mother looked at me as if I had two heads. “There was no burning ball in the sky, what in the world are you talking about?”
I told my mother my memory of sitting on the steps with my friend, seeing the burning orb streak across the sky, and going into the house to report it. My mother told me I must have had a dream that happened, as she did not remember anything like that. I now was confused and concerned.
When I returned home I called my older sister and reported the entire story to her. I asked her if she remembered a fireball or like that being reported or recalled that my friend and I had seen it. My sister did not remember anything like that either. I felt a bit uneasy and thought maybe it was a dream. I felt uncomfortable thinking I recalled a dream that clearly and always thought it was a real event.
A few years passed and I received an invitation that my high school class was having its 30th year reunion. I thought it would be fun to see all my old classmates and made arrangements to go. I heard my old friend Barbara was going to be there. We lost touch over the years. I was happy I was going to see her again.
The reunion was a big success and we all had a great time catching up and sharing stories. I made plans for my friend to come to my house for dinner before she returned to her home located in upstate New York.
Barbara came over the next day and we had a wonderful time catching up on all the details of our lives. After dinner, Barbara and I took our coffee and pie out to my sunroom that looks over the water and night sky. As we were looking out at the stars Barbara turned to me and said, “Remember that big orange/red ball that raced across the sky during the blackout?”
I nearly fell out of my chair. It was true. Barbara remembered it too. I quickly told Barbara the story of how my family did not recall any of it and how I thought I dreamed it, and now knew it had happened.
She looked at me for a long time and said, “You know, now that you bring it up, I do not recall anyone else ever talking about it.”
We talked about the event for the rest of our visit. Barbara told me she was going to look up that day to see if any others saw anything like we did.
Time went on and again I almost forgot about the blackout and that huge orb. One day Barbara called me. She told me she did research on that day and had found out that many others also saw what we had. She discovered people had UFO sightings and saw strange lights along with many other odd events that day.
I have researched this event over the years since and have found Barbara was right. Many other people did see exactly what Barbara and I saw that day of November 9, 1965. I think it is obvious much more took place that day other than the blackout. It also fits into the area of people NOT wanting to know or understand these things due to fear and lack of knowledge of the unknown. I often wonder how long we will continue to let incredible events go on around us, yet overlook them due to a massive shared fear.
The biggest question Barbara and I have about that day is why all the people around us including our families, did not recall that sighting.
I have placed this on my list of unknown events of my lifetime and just keep moving forward. I hope one day I can move this event over to the known and understood portion of my life experiences.
I do know that if I am in another large blackout I will stay with other people and keep watching the sky above.
Note: The Northeast Blackout of 1965 was a significant disruption in the supply of electricity on November 9, 1965, affecting Ontario, Canada and Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, New York, and New Jersey in the United States.
10-05-08-I am an avid reader of books on the subjects of UFOs and ancient civilizations. And as much as I believe, nothing could prepare me for this encounter at 7 AM, 10-14-08. I was startled when my mother suddenly woke me from my sleep, telling me very nervously to come outside, so I did. She pointed to the dark sky in a southeasterly direction. At first, my sleep still fresh in my eyes, I noticed nothing unusual.
But as my eyes came into focus, I saw what she had pointed out. What looked to be bright stars suddenly were recognized as orange and
had a distinct hazy radiance about them. "Could just be stars," I told myself. And that could have easily been left at that. But as I noticed
there were 3 of them, I looked from one to the next and noticed they where moving very slowly-but yes!, they were moving.
And not only moving, but were holding a distinct triangular/boomerang pattern! I was excited, yet baffled. In all the years I have studied the clues left in the history of Earth's civilization's encounters and books I have read, I had never seen any! As I watched, they slowly faded from view.
Also I looked up reports for the area and found several similar sightings describing the same recently. What is this phenomenon? source: www.mufon.com
Michigan-Orbs, Jets Chasing
10-11-08-The past three nights, orbs have been seen off the port Sheldon pier, north of Holland. Stealth jets were following whatever these things were. The orange orbs were making drastic up and down maneuvers at incredible speeds. This past Friday, 6 jets were seen speeding in the direction of the orbs, one of which was positively identified as a Stealth.
The jets circled around for over two hours as the orbs appeared and disappeared. The orbs were seen by many witnesses on Lake Michigan off Port Sheldon pier. This siting went on for hours, until the point where I couldn't watch anymore. The only way to describe it was they were making W-like patterns in the sky, and the Stealth jets could not even keep up with these objects. source: www.mufon.com
Texas-Star-Like Object
10-13-08-At 10:36 PM, after my son and I watched a movie, I let my dogs out in the backyard. It is very dark and no lights behind my house, so the view of the stars is great. I looked up to the north-northeast, and noticed what looked like a star initially bouncing around. I looked at other stars to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me and looked back at the object.
I then yelled for my son to come down and see if he was seeing the same thing. He was. We got a digital camera and tried to
take pictures of the object, and the camera would not pick it up. We then got out the telescope (a large one), and lined it up as best
as we could, and when viewing through the main eye of the telescope could only see it for a few seconds and it would move drastically.
We would then realign the telescope and try again and got the same results. I'm very interested to see if anyone else saw the same thing. I definitely believe that what we saw was not man-made. source: www.mufon.com
Texas-Lights Form Triangle
2000(?)-The sighting in question was a while back so I can't remember all the details, but my wife and I have finally decided to describe it to someone outside our circle.
If I remember right, it took place in the summer of 2000. We were in a small boat at Lake McClellan, in the Texas panhandle. The lake is very small, so it was a smooth body of water. It's also far away from towns or cities, so the sky is very visible on a clear night, as this was. At around midnight, we were fishing and talking, when we sort of laid back, looking into the sky and talking.
We first noticed a light which was very high, it semed to be a satellite or something. It moved slowly across the sky, until it stopped in the vicinity of 2 other similarly bright lights and formed a triangle. Then about 20 seconds later, the 3 lights started moving away from each other at the same time, and moved progressively faster that the first one did, until they were out of sight.
We were simply amazed by what we saw, and have no explanation for it.
The year could even be wrong, as it was a long time ago, but I would be interested to know if others reported something like this then.
We are believers in UFOs, and the recent expectation of sightings we heard about has our interest peaked. senty by Casey, from Texas.

Great Britain-Elongated, Orange Lights
10-11-08-I was proceeding from the A9 road heading toward the town of Aberfeldy in Perth, and Kinross county at 5 minutes past 10 PM. About a mile before the junction just outside the village of Grandtully, I noticed what I thought was a series of street lights zig-zagging up a steep hill. Having traveled this road many times I could not recall such a feature in landscape or road and thought it very odd.
I then considered maybe it was a bright constellation, but the lights were totally unlike stars being orange in color, slightly elongated as fog
street lights are. Hence my foremost impression. The further I traveled, the more curious I became, finally pulling to a stop on the roadside.
I noticed a car on the opposite side also parked with its occupant staring up at the sky. I then thought it to be a fleet of helicopters, but there was no sound and no tail lights or otherwise common to aircraft to be seen. Once I had stopped my vehicle, I then realized these objects were traveling toward me keeping formation about ten in total not too fast, but not slow. I turned the car around at the oncoming junction about 50 yards distant to follow the lights, but by the short time it took I looked back and they had vanished. source: www.mufon.com
