Sting Claims He Once Confronted A Ghost Sting has claimed he once confronted a ghost which wandered into his room at the dead of night. 19 Nov 2009 Sting said he also experienced flying objects and mysterious voices Photo: JANE MINGAY The singer, who famously sang Spirits In The Material World in the 1980s, said wife Trudie Styler also witnessed the figure, standing with a child in the corner of their bedroom. Sting said he also experienced flying objects and mysterious voices in one of his homes in an interview to be played on Radio 2. He said: ''I would...

UFO fever is sweeping through Germany, no doubt about it. The entire year has been pretty much one long UFO flap with around 500 sightings submitted to various UFO reporting agencies. Sightings have occurred throughout the country and a number of these have been the subject of serious government investigations. These two short films were allegedly taken in the last few days. The first of these (below) comes from the quiet town of Scheuditz in the Saxony district. The witness writes that he ‘I looked out my window and saw a UFO!’ and that he filmed it with a hand-held...

In an article in American Vogue magazine in which Mr Miliband was described as "tall and dashing", the interviewer joked about developing a crush on the 44-year-old Foreign Secretary after hearing his British accent on the telephone. "Well, if you saw him it would be a big crush. I mean, he is so vibrant, vital, attractive, smart," said Mrs Clinton, 18 years Mr Miliband's senior. "He's a really good guy. And he's so young!" Mr Miliband is rarely cited as a political heartthrob. Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's former spokesman, reflected the prevailing mood when he nicknamed him Brains after the...

Several airline pilots have reported sighting a shining unidentified flying object (UFO) near the south-eastern Chinese city of Nanjing, a newspaper reported yesterday. The first sighting was reported by a Xiamen Airlines pilot on Monday, who said he saw a light blue object hovering past his plane while 80km north of Nanjing, the Wen Wei Po daily reported. At the same time, pilots of a Shandong Airline aircraft, which was some 120km away from the Xiamen airlines plane, also reported a similar sighting. They described the UFO as being a white-blue skateboard-shaped craft. A pilot from another airplane, about 300km...

Glenn Beck clips purged from YouTube today?

This jaw-dropping UFO footage was sent to us by a reader who didn't have much information on it. The film is believed to have been taken in the city of Ocana in Colombia. The clip shows a very clear UFO hovering over a statue of what appears to be Jesus and before zapping it with some kind of laser beam. We are relying on the reader who sent the UFO video insisting that it is new material and hasn’t already been doing the rounds of various UFO forums and websites. We ourselves have never seen it before. UFO researchers will...

Four hundred years after Renaissance philosopher Giordano Bruno was burnt at the stake for his belief in the "plurality of worlds" (aliens), scientists and religious leaders gathered this week at a seemingly more open-minded Vatican for a conference on astrobiology (aliens). The meeting focussed on current science, rather than the theological quandaries thrown up by the possibilty of other life forms beyond this planet. But that hasn't stopped debate spilling over outside the conference. Yesterday I spoke to Paul Davies, a cosmologist from Arizona State University, just after he addressed the conference. In his view, the possibility of other civilisations...

Anyone reading my articles over the last year or so would know that as far as I am concerned something very strange UFO-wise is going on above Fortaleza in North East Brazil. My evidence suggests some sort of galactic or even inter-Galactic UFO highway exit/entrance exists in the vicinity. The continual incoming emails from people associated with the area, including many academics and scientifically qualified individuals, have only re-enforced this hypothesis for me. UFO activity in the area has seemingly reached such a textured level that a well-known Spanish artist form Barcelona who visited the area has painted images of...

When scientists search the heavens for habitable worlds beyond Earth, they don't necessarily know what to look for. A new study has found that the most probable place to find intelligent life in the galaxy is around stars with roughly the mass of the sun, and surface temperatures between 5,300 and 6,000 Kelvin (9,100 and 10,300 degrees Fahrenheit) - in fact, stars very similar to our own sun.

It's starting in 3 minutes..."V"...the strange remake of "V"...the series that is so evocative of Obama's "hope and change". Just starting a discussion thread as this serial opens.

Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care. The news media swoons in admiration. The public is likewise smitten, except for a few patriots who circulate disturbing rumors on the Internet about the leader's origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: "Embracing change is never easy." So, does that sound like anyone...

Shoppers in Shijiazhuang City in China’s Hebei Province got a surprise on Sunday that was quite literally ‘out of this world’. As some late-night shoppers were leaving a supermarket a UFO was seen hovering above the store’s entrance. The UFO remained above the entrance for around one minute before shooting off into the night sky. One witness who was carrying a mobile phone managed to get a number of shots of the craft (See photos below). The witness, who insists that there were other passersby who also saw the sighting, then posted the UFO photos on a popular science and...

Thea Cox, a burglar caught stealing make-up and women’s clothes has been spared a prison sentence after a judge decided she had endured “a rotten life” as a transsexual. Thea Cox: Outside court the burglar, who was christened Timothy, blamed her life of crime on the public's reaction to her change of sex 26 years ago. Photo: SWNS Cox, 54, was originally given a suspended 12-week prison sentence for having an offensive weapon with her as she carried out four burglaries last year. She returned to the same student flats this summer and carried out two further raids – on...

I was watching Monsters vs. Aliens last night with my sons and a friend's daughter and was struck by the resemblance. I thought I would make a comparison photo but found that someone had already done it.

Love Can Mess You Up: Before Arthur David Horn met his future bride Lynette (a "metaphysical healer") in 1988, he was a tenured professor at Colorado State, with a Ph.D. in anthropology from Yale, teaching a mainstream course in human evolution. With Lynette's guidance (after a revelatory week with her in California's Trinity Mountains, searching for Bigfoot), Horn evolved, himself, resigning from Colorado State and seeking to remedy his inadequate Ivy League education. At a conference in Denver in September, Horn said he now realizes that humans come from an alien race of shape-shifting reptilians that continue to control civilization...

With Halloween only a few days away, discussion of the paranormal is a staple of the creepy holiday each year. Anybody have any interesting anecdotes about their experiences with hauntings, Ouija boards, and ghosts? Even aside from the typical Halloween characters, have you encountered situations that you think were direct interventions from God? Anyone want to share their paranormal stories?

An official announcement by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial life is imminent. For several months, senior administration officials have been quietly deliberating behind closed doors how much to disclose to the world about extraterrestrial life. Dissatisfaction among powerful institutions such as the U.S. Navy over the decades-long secrecy policy has given a boost to efforts to disclose the reality of extraterrestrial life and technology. The impending disclosure announcement follows upon the secret implementation of a year long openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Over the period February 12-14, 2008, the United Nations held closed doors discussions...

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- A Canadian company says its new "balloon-boy" costumes are practically flying off the shelves in the days leading to Halloween. Plantraco Microflight, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is selling the costumes online for $19.99 each, says the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. It didn't take much of a flight of fancy to dream up the idea after watching the helium-filled, flying-saucer look-alike take off from the yard of a house in Fort Collins, Colo., said Bud Kays, Plantraco Microflight's managing director. "It's a scale model of the balloon-boy's balloon," said Kays, speaking of 6-year-old Falcon Heene, who,...

The sergeant, who has not been named, was off-duty when he saw the figures standing in a field near Silbury Hill, and stopped his car to investigate. However, as he approached the 'men' – all over 6ft tall with blond hair – he heard "the sound of static electricity" and the trio ran away ''faster than any man he had ever seen''. The officer returned to his home in Marlborough, Wiltshire, and contacted paranormal experts and told them he had spotted a UFO. Wiltshire Police has refused to comment on the incident, saying it is a ''personal matter'' for the...

The unusual ‘Halo Cloud’ or UFO seen above Moscow has created a real buzz. In a scramble to discount any paranormal or extraterrestrial explanation for the event it has been labelled a freak cloud or weather pattern. I have received over a hundred emails from readers asking questions regarding the event and many of this publication’s readers work in various meteorological departments. Some have insisted that this cannot be a cloud or an optical illusion. The fact is that mankind has been looking to skies for millennia and patterns this unusual and this clear are rarely seen. While I do...

In July of 1996 one of the most complex and spectacular crop circle designs ever seen appeared in a field opposite Stonehenge. The design became known as “The Julia Set” because it resembled the mathematical fractal called by that name. The formation was remarkable not only because of its complexity and beauty but also due to several anomalies associated with its discovery.... The formation was first spotted from an aircraft at 6:15 PM. The pilot crossed over the field with a passenger (a medical doctor taking pictures) at 5:30 PM and both reported that there was no formation in the...

In 2008, over 1,000 reports were made about unidentified flying objects — or UFOs — in Canada alone, according to researchers. Witnesses claimed to see such common things as “star-like lights” in the night sky to “large, V-shaped craft flying slowly and ponderously” over homes in rural and urban areas. One Canadian man, Paul Shishis, claims to have captured in pictures a strange, morphing object over Scarborough…

THIS glowing halo in clouds over Moscow looks like an Independence Day style alien attack. The astonishing ring was spotted over the city and captured on video by stunned locals. It has been described as a "true mystery" by a UFO expert.

A couple traveling along the river in the area north of Rosario claimed having seen an animal being abducted by a flying saucer. "Later, the both vanished," they said. The likelyhood that cows could fly was always relegated to the province of the impossible. But to Sergio and Laura, this changed last Monday afternoon, when they traveled along the coast near Puerto Gaboto, and believed that they saw a cow in the sky, abducted by a UFO. The couple told the story to journalist Guillermo Brasca in a report transmitted by the Telenoche program on Channel 3. They provided photos...

And invoking the name of Obama three times quickly and snapping your heels together is said to cause the appearance of a rainbow which, if followed to its very end, leads to Obama's personal stash of stimulus cash (and his hidden carton of Marlboro Lights).

In a conference call to the Pope, Ray Kurzweil, and Bill Gates, Obama humbly announced that he is the One we have been waiting for...and our long wait is over!He also mentioned that, as an alien/human hybrid, he was pleased to announced that extraterrestrials have been living among humans since the dawn of time and he, as their Supreme Leader, would now offer unimaginable technological advances and space travel to our primitive planet.Obama went on to abolish all religions except the worship of himself.

Barak Hussein Obama has been named as the exclusive human representative by the grey aliens. The grey aliens will conduct all future business with Earthlings through Obama alone and have granted him authority to make any and all decisions necessary in furtherance of their goals.

In February 2008, global dignitaries gathered to inaugurate the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a repository for plant life designed to withstand nuclear war so survivors could restart civilization with healthy seeds. Magnus Bredeli-Tveiten, who oversaw construction of the vault, told the Associated Press that he expected it to last as long as the 4,500-year-old pyramids of Egypt. However, for a certain percentage of the public, ancient civilizations like Egypt are just one key to a nuclear war that already happened-thousands of years ago.

Over the last few months China has experienced something of an unprecedented wave of UFO sightings and events. It began with a series of significant UFO sightings that occurred at and around the time of the July solar eclipse. The rash of UFO sightings culminated with the August mass UFO sighting that occurred in the province of Shandong where countless residents saw and filmed two seemingly huge objects that appeared to be partially covered by cloud in the night sky. In the last month or so UFO sightings in China have died down to a point where almost none are...

UNDERWORLD - Graham Hancock Posted by Greg at 12:09, 30 Apr 2004 Let's get this straight, right from the outset - UNDERWORLD is not FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS. I say this, because I know that fans of Graham Hancock's work like to compare his latest efforts with the monolithic benchmark that is FOTG. And this simply isn't a valid comparison - FOTG smashed its way into our consciousness in the main because it introduced us to (or re-introduced to some) the amazing mysteries that were present in what we thought was a mundane old world. A decade or so on,...

Numerous evidence of Pre-Historic Nuclear War exists: Columns of Smoke Rose as if from a Mighty Furnaceby Brad Steiger Ancient Indian Epics, especially the Mahabharata, document apparent pre-historic nuclear devastation and destruction, that is being verified by diverse scholars.“Then the Lord rained down fire and tar from heaven upon Sodom and Gomorrah, and utterly destroyed them….” Genesis 19:24. My previous article in The Canadian , in which I reflected upon my book Worlds Before Our Own, provoked dozens of inquiries from readers. LINK Some stated that one of the cable channels -- some thought it was the History Channel; others,...

Raymond Meyer spotted the 'alien craft' from the balcony of his hotel in Benalmadena in Spain. A Scots holidaymaker told on Friday how he spotted a UFO hovering above a Spanish tourist town from his hotel balcony. Raymond Meyer, of Guardbridge, near St Andrews, Fife, was in his hotel room at the Hotel Siroco in Benalmadena when he saw the object a few hundred yards away. He has placed the footage - shot in mid-September - on video site YouTube, where hundreds of visitors have already viewed the film. Now he hopes those who watch the two-and-a-half minute video can...

The Brazilian Government has just declassified a new set of significant previously secret UFO documents, now covering the 80s. We already had disclosures covering the 50s, 60s and 70s, all with very important documents and information. So far over 4,000 pages have been disclosed. The recent disclosure is particularly powerful because it contains dozens of reports of UFOs on May 19, 1986, considered the “Official UFO Night in Brazil”, when 21 spherical objects, estimated 100 meters in diameter – according to military sources – were detected by radars and spotted by civilian pilots, and literally jammed air traffic over the...

Are UFO's real? Are we alone in this vast universe? If there is other life out there in the universe have they visited our planet?

UFO’s: The Shattering AssaultOct 18th, 2007 By Father Alexey Young LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU BY ANY MEANS… II THESS. 2:3It is no coincidence that the ancient pagan mystery religions as well as numerous mystical fraternities (such as the Theosophists and Rosicrucians) speak of an "elite" — sometimes called "the Great White Brotherhood" the "Ascended Masters," or the "Mahatmas" of Madame Blavatsky — a group of beings seeking to guide and control the destiny of mortal man. Sometimes this "elite" is seen as non-human, at other times as "highly evolved" or perfected humans. The ancestor of this "elite" is the...

It is quite rare for UFO sightings to be reported on the mainstream media, especially CNN, but this one managed to obtain a few minutes of airtime. Brad Denning's son received a call from his friend to look up into the sky, because there were some strange lights to be seen. Brad Denning rushed into his home to get his camera and started to record the event (he then contacted CNN) Apparently, the four lights were in a line to begin with, but later changed formation. However, they remained in one area. Denning mentioned that a plane flew near the...

An Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, man witnessed and took photographs September 17, 2009, of a low flying UFO overhead in Scarborough, according to a statement released by Paul Shishis. The photographed object does not fit standard UFO descriptions of disc and triangle-shaped objects, but appeared to "morph" in shape, according to Shishis. He said the object was 100 yards away and between 300 and 500 feet in altitude, when it appeared to "open up," and then "looked like a long sheet of some material - that was approximately 10 to 15 feet in length."

Olivia Newton-John, the Grease actress, claims to have seen a UFO when she was a teenager. The 60-year-old performer said that she was "intrigued" by unidentified flying objects and believed that most people in Britain shared her obsession. Newton-John's co-star in the 1978 teenage movie was John Travolta, who is now a member of the Church of Scientology which holds that aliens populated the Earth millions of years ago. But the actress's brush with extraterrestrial life was more mundane. She has described how she saw a silver object flying across the sky at "amazing speeds" when she was 15. "I...

The book gives new insights into an incident known as "Britain's Roswell" as well as the belief in UFOs by high ranking defence officials. Project Condign Documents in the files reveal that there were high level defence officials in the 1990s who believed UFOs could be spacecraft piloted by extraterrestrials who could even be conducting "tourist" visits to earth. In 1993, an RAF Wing Commander lobbied MoD officials about the need for a properly funded study. He told them: "The national security implications (of UFOs) are considerable. We have many reports of strange objects in the skies and have never...

CERRO AZUL, Panama -- It looks a bit like a small, portly alien from the movie "E.T." or Gollum's long-lost cousin, but officials haven't the slightest idea what a creature found just east of Panama City really is. The creature was first found by four teenagers playing near a creek in the community of Cerro Azul. According to a local TV station, Telemetro, the teenagers spotted the creature crawling out from a cave. They said it started moving toward them. Fearing for their safety, they pelted the beast with sticks and rocks. After the barrage killed the creature, the teenagers...

Change may be harder to believe in than extraterrestrial life—at least when it comes to releasing classified records, according to UFOlogists in attendance at Angel Fire’s first Paranormal Symposium. “The only ‘change’ is the change of opinion among UFOlogists who think that we’re going to get something from Obama,” Dee Gragg, who teaches adult education courses on UFOs at New Mexico State University, says. Gragg presented a lecture on crop circles at the symposium, held Sept. 11-13 in the small village 25 miles outside Taos. The event drew more than 150 attendees to listen to 10 lectures covering everything from...

Google has continued to tease fans of its Google doodle with yet another image of a UFO. The latest in the, now series, sees the Google logo spelt out in crop circles with a UFO hovering above. The creation of the doodle also coincided with a tweet - this time what appeared to be long/lat coordinates, however the "51.327629, -0.5616088" reference puts it just outside Woking in the UK. The link of the doodle goes to a search for crop circles. The second UFO reference comes just 10 days after the last teaser which showed one of the "O"s being...

A rash of recent UFO sightings that have caused concern amongst residents of Suriname, South America, has prompted the creation of that nation's first 24-hour UFO hot-line in Paramaribo, the country's capital city. The hot-line will take down details of all sightings of UFOs and then investigate if need be. One recent UFO sighting that gave impetus to the establishment of this hot-line occurred around two months ago and was reported by the 'Netherlands World Radio Service': 'A most remarkable observation was the one which transpired on July 19. That evening three UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) flew over Paramaribo and...
