1
00:00:05,930 --> 00:00:02,960
my seventh 2017 you are listening to

2
00:00:08,750 --> 00:00:05,940
inception radio network voice of the

3
00:00:13,730 --> 00:00:08,760
fringe majority this is Carol Cardiff

4
00:00:16,099 --> 00:00:13,740
UFO headline news sometimes in life

5
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:16,109
things just go in a straight line don't

6
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:18,510
they they all just angle up even out

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:20,910
well tonight the skies got something

8
00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:23,010
like that for us to look at tonight we

9
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:26,400
can see the moon Saturn and Antares in a

10
00:00:33,319 --> 00:00:29,609
line earth sky dot-org brings us this

11
00:00:36,410 --> 00:00:33,329
tonight look up for a lineup of bright

12
00:00:39,020 --> 00:00:36,420
celestial objects the moon planet Saturn

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:39,030
and bright star Antares come out first

14
00:00:44,299 --> 00:00:41,610
thing after sunset and stay out until

15
00:00:46,819 --> 00:00:44,309
the wee hours after midnight they can be

16
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:46,829
seen from around the world although the

17
00:00:51,740 --> 00:00:48,960
line is more symmetrical with Saturn

18
00:00:54,139 --> 00:00:51,750
more equidistant from July 7th moon and

19
00:00:56,510 --> 00:00:54,149
in Taurus in the western hemisphere of

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Earth and you can look for that in the

21
00:01:01,069 --> 00:00:59,010
south to Southeast sky at nightfall if

22
00:01:02,959 --> 00:01:01,079
you're in those northern to mid northern

23
00:01:05,929 --> 00:01:02,969
latitudes from the southern hemisphere

24
00:01:08,539 --> 00:01:05,939
look for them high overhead around 9:00

25
00:01:10,490 --> 00:01:08,549
to 10:00 p.m. your local time and that's

26
00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:10,500
the time on your clock no matter where

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:14,430
you are on planet Earth golden Saturn is

28
00:01:18,859 --> 00:01:16,650
the sixth planet outward from the Sun

29
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:18,869
the farthest world you can easily see

30
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:21,570
without anything but your eye although

31
00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:23,670
you can't see Saturn's rings without an

32
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:26,100
optical aid even a modest backyard

33
00:01:31,749 --> 00:01:29,310
telescope will do the trick in 2017 the

34
00:01:34,249 --> 00:01:31,759
north side of the rings of Saturn are

35
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:34,259
maximally tilted toward Earth that's

36
00:01:39,499 --> 00:01:36,180
going to offer the best view of Saturn's

37
00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:39,509
rings in years the first magnitude star

38
00:01:44,210 --> 00:01:42,270
Antares it's often called the heart of

39
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:44,220
the Scorpion in that constellation

40
00:01:48,109 --> 00:01:45,329
Scorpius

41
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:48,119
it's a tough start amiss because Antares

42
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:51,210
is very bright distinctly red in color

43
00:01:55,639 --> 00:01:53,340
and also if you're looking from the

44
00:01:58,219 --> 00:01:55,649
northern hemisphere this star appears

45
00:02:00,289 --> 00:01:58,229
low in the sky thus people in this part

46
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:00,299
of the world often noticed that Antares

47
00:02:05,330 --> 00:02:02,850
twinkles a lot the moon passes

48
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:05,340
relatively close to Saturn and Antares

49
00:02:11,180 --> 00:02:07,920
every month some years the moon can

50
00:02:12,950 --> 00:02:11,190
actually occult or cover over this star

51
00:02:15,770 --> 00:02:12,960
or the planet Saturn

52
00:02:18,650 --> 00:02:15,780
but not this year every month in fact

53
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:18,660
for the rest of 2017 the moon will swing

54
00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:21,570
to the north of Antares and Saturn the

55
00:02:27,530 --> 00:02:24,150
last lunar occultation of Saturn

56
00:02:29,530 --> 00:02:27,540
happened October 25th 2014 and there

57
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:29,540
won't be another one till December 9th

58
00:02:34,730 --> 00:02:32,250
2018 we'll keep you posted

59
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:34,740
the last lunar occultation of Antares

60
00:02:39,230 --> 00:02:37,500
happened February 7th 2010 and there

61
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:39,240
won't be another one of those until

62
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:43,680
August 25th 2023 the moon is a chunk of

63
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:46,290
rock shining with sunlight that reflects

64
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:48,720
from its surface it can appear to cover

65
00:02:54,140 --> 00:02:51,330
Saturn or Antares only because the moon

66
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:54,150
is so close to us relative to Saturn and

67
00:02:59,810 --> 00:02:57,090
Antares but if you could see Saturn or

68
00:03:02,510 --> 00:02:59,820
Antares up close you'd find that Saturn

69
00:03:06,050 --> 00:03:02,520
is a large planet and aunt iris is one

70
00:03:10,820 --> 00:03:06,060
of the galaxy's largest stars Saturn has

71
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:10,830
the volume of 764 Earth's and Horus has

72
00:03:16,850 --> 00:03:13,470
the volume of hundreds of millions of

73
00:03:19,660 --> 00:03:16,860
Suns aunt iris lies some 600 light-years

74
00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:19,670
away in contrast to only 8 light minutes

75
00:03:25,940 --> 00:03:23,160
for the Sun so like the moon our Sun

76
00:03:27,950 --> 00:03:25,950
appears larger to us than this gigantic

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:27,960
star so here's the bottom line

78
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:30,570
no matter where you are on planet earth

79
00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:33,360
look outside on the night of July 7th

80
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:36,900
2017 for a golden planet and a reddish

81
00:03:43,130 --> 00:03:40,410
star to line up with the moon how cool

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:43,140
is that we'll go from the cool to the oh

83
00:03:51,260 --> 00:03:46,770
not so very cool here here's a headline

84
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:51,270
from and gadget Mars is even more toxic

85
00:03:56,420 --> 00:03:54,330
to life than we thought this gets a

86
00:03:59,600 --> 00:03:56,430
byline for swapping of Krisha for the

87
00:04:02,270 --> 00:03:59,610
publication and gadget we haven't found

88
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:02,280
life on Mars yet but the discovery of

89
00:04:06,770 --> 00:04:04,530
organic molecules in the soil and

90
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:06,780
atmosphere have left many hoping it's

91
00:04:11,630 --> 00:04:08,810
just a matter of time before we do

92
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:11,640
however recent experiments may have

93
00:04:17,210 --> 00:04:14,480
thrown some cold water on these dreams

94
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:17,220
scientists have studied compounds within

95
00:04:22,090 --> 00:04:19,680
Martian soil they've discovered that

96
00:04:25,460 --> 00:04:22,100
they're toxic when combined with Mars

97
00:04:26,180 --> 00:04:25,470
ultraviolet rays we've suspected Mars

98
00:04:29,590 --> 00:04:26,190
was home to

99
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:29,600
perchlorates let's spell that PE r CH

100
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:34,050
lor a tes perchlorates since the Viking

101
00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:35,970
Lander missions four decades ago and

102
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:38,190
that discovery has been confirmed by

103
00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:41,130
more recent rover finds however

104
00:04:45,290 --> 00:04:43,080
scientists were divided on what it could

105
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:45,300
mean some have argued that the presence

106
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:47,430
of perchlorates on Mars might actually

107
00:04:50,810 --> 00:04:49,680
increase the likelihood of finding life

108
00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:50,820
on the Red Planet

109
00:04:55,340 --> 00:04:53,220
not only do perchlorates lower the

110
00:04:57,470 --> 00:04:55,350
freezing point of liquid water but these

111
00:05:00,680 --> 00:04:57,480
compounds could be used as energy source

112
00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:00,690
for bacterial life after all one type of

113
00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:03,060
perchlorate ammonium perchlorate is

114
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:06,320
currently used as solid rocket fuel

115
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:08,490
according to their published findings in

116
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:10,110
the journal of scientific reports

117
00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:12,690
scientists took common earth bacteria

118
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:15,270
mix them with marsh and perchlorate and

119
00:05:20,780 --> 00:05:17,730
then exposed them to ultraviolet rays

120
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:20,790
similar to those on Mars the results

121
00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:23,730
were pretty definitive bacteria were

122
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:25,830
wiped out twice as quickly when

123
00:05:30,770 --> 00:05:29,010
perchlorates were present upon adding in

124
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:30,780
other components found in the Martian

125
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:34,260
soil of iron oxide hydrogen peroxide the

126
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:37,050
results were even worse bacteria were

127
00:05:40,490 --> 00:05:39,570
killed 11 times faster than with just

128
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:40,500
perchlorates

129
00:05:45,620 --> 00:05:43,890
this paper states quote these data show

130
00:05:47,530 --> 00:05:45,630
that the combined efforts of at least

131
00:05:49,790 --> 00:05:47,540
three components of the Martian surface

132
00:05:52,270 --> 00:05:49,800
activated by surface photochemistry

133
00:05:55,130 --> 00:05:52,280
render the present-day surface more

134
00:05:58,909 --> 00:05:55,140
uninhabitable than previously thought

135
00:06:01,280 --> 00:05:58,919
and quotes there is one upside to this

136
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:01,290
discovery though while it's unlikely at

137
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:03,330
this point that we'll find life on the

138
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:05,910
surface of Mars underground is still a

139
00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:08,250
possibility the results of this study

140
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:10,350
alleviate concerns about earth-based

141
00:06:15,950 --> 00:06:13,410
bacteria contaminating the surface of

142
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Mars while we should continue to take

143
00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:17,730
care when sending anything into outer

144
00:06:22,850 --> 00:06:20,430
space any microscopic earth-based life

145
00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:22,860
that hitches a ride to Mars will likely

146
00:06:29,390 --> 00:06:27,180
be killed by Mars toxic conditions toxic

147
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:29,400
interesting but then again what crosses

148
00:06:36,350 --> 00:06:32,400
this broadcasters mind is life as we

149
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:36,360
know it hmm that old sci-fi movie trope

150
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:37,770
but who knows

151
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:40,170

260
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:20,560
to give SpaceX another launch

261
00:11:25,199 --> 00:11:22,959
opportunity the range will be prepared

Rockets so stay tuned to inception Radio

265
00:11:38,250 --> 00:11:35,769
Network and UFO headline news so we

266
00:11:40,370 --> 00:11:38,260
checked into the NASA official website

267
00:11:43,650 --> 00:11:40,380
that's science.nasa.gov

268
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:43,660
well that's one part and we found this

269
00:11:50,009 --> 00:11:46,690
fascinating article solar minimum is

270
00:11:53,490 --> 00:11:50,019
coming mmm soon to a neighborhood near

271
00:11:56,550 --> 00:11:53,500
you well that's C high up in a clear

272
00:11:59,430 --> 00:11:56,560
blue noontime sky the Sun appears to be

273
00:12:02,009 --> 00:11:59,440
much the same day in day out year after

274
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:02,019
year but astronomers have long known

275
00:12:07,470 --> 00:12:04,450
that this is not true the Sun does

276
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:07,480
change properly filtered telescopes

277
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:10,450
reveal a fiery disc often speckled with

278
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:13,120
dark sun spots sunspots are strongly

279
00:12:18,630 --> 00:12:15,790
magnetized they crackle with solar

280
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:18,640
flares magnetic explosions that

281
00:12:24,269 --> 00:12:20,769
illuminate earth with flashes of x-rays

282
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:24,279
and extreme ultraviolet radiation the

283
00:12:31,769 --> 00:12:27,850
Sun is a seething mass of activity until

284
00:12:34,290 --> 00:12:31,779
it's not every 11 years or so sunspots

285
00:12:37,740 --> 00:12:34,300
fade away bringing a period of relative

286
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:37,750
calm says Dean PES now of NASA's Goddard

287
00:12:41,939 --> 00:12:39,040
Space Flight Center in Greenbelt

288
00:12:44,130 --> 00:12:41,949
Maryland quote this is called a solar

289
00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:44,140
minimum and it's a regular part of the

290
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:47,380
sunspot cycle and quotes the Sun is

291
00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:49,779
heading toward that solar minimum right

292
00:12:55,470 --> 00:12:52,630
now sunspot counts were relatively high

293
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:55,480
in 2014 and now they've begun to slide

294
00:13:01,980 --> 00:12:57,970
toward a low point that's expected in

295
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:01,990
2019 to 2020 while intense activities

296
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:03,760
such as sunspots and solar flares

297
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:06,130
subside during solar minimum that

298
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:08,890
doesn't mean the Sun becomes doe solar

299
00:13:14,490 --> 00:13:11,890
activity simply changes form for

300
00:13:16,620 --> 00:13:14,500
instance says PES nel quote during solar

301
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:16,630
minimum we can see the development of

302
00:13:20,850 --> 00:13:17,170
long

303
00:13:23,460 --> 00:13:20,860
lived coronal holes and quotes a coronal

304
00:13:25,259 --> 00:13:23,470
hole that's a vast region in the sun's

305
00:13:28,350 --> 00:13:25,269
atmosphere where the sun's magnetic

306
00:13:31,530 --> 00:13:28,360
field opens up and allows streams of

307
00:13:35,430 --> 00:13:31,540
solar particles to escape the Sun as the

308
00:13:37,319 --> 00:13:35,440
fast solar wind has nell says quote we

309
00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:37,329
see these holes throughout the solar

310
00:13:43,319 --> 00:13:40,000
cycle but during solar minimum they can

311
00:13:46,379 --> 00:13:43,329
last a long time six months or more and

312
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:46,389
quotes streams of solar wind flowing

313
00:13:51,150 --> 00:13:48,850
from coronal holes can cause space

00:13:53,730 --> 00:13:51,160
weather effects near earth as they hit

315
00:13:56,129 --> 00:13:53,740
Earth's magnetic field these effects can

316
00:13:57,930 --> 00:13:56,139
include temporary disturbances of the

317
00:14:00,689 --> 00:13:57,940
Earth's magnetosphere called

318
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:00,699
geomagnetic storms Aurora's and

319
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:02,610
disruptions to communications and

320
00:14:07,650 --> 00:14:05,889
navigation systems during solar minimum

321
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:07,660
the effects of Earth's upper atmosphere

322
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:10,930
on satellites in low Earth orbit changes

323
00:14:16,079 --> 00:14:13,810
as well normally Earth's upper

324
00:14:18,439 --> 00:14:16,089
atmosphere is heated puffed-up by

325
00:14:21,030 --> 00:14:18,449
ultraviolet radiation from the Sun

326
00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:21,040
satellites in low Earth orbit experience

327
00:14:25,710 --> 00:14:23,230
friction as they skim through the

328
00:14:28,290 --> 00:14:25,720
outskirts of our atmosphere this

329
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:28,300
friction creates drag causing satellites

330
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:30,279
to lose speed over time and eventually

331
00:14:35,970 --> 00:14:33,550
to fall back to earth drag is a good

332
00:14:38,340 --> 00:14:35,980
thing for space junk natural and

333
00:14:41,250 --> 00:14:38,350
man-made particles floating in orbit

334
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:41,260
around Earth drag helps keep low Earth

335
00:14:46,939 --> 00:14:44,529
orbit clear of debris but during solar

336
00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:46,949
minimum this natural heating mechanism

337
00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:49,990
subsides Earth's upper atmosphere cools

338
00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:53,199
and to some degree can collapse without

339
00:14:59,009 --> 00:14:56,529
a normal amount of that drag space junk

340
00:15:01,380 --> 00:14:59,019

341
00:15:03,809 --> 00:15:01,390
advice with leanne caller you're on the

342
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:03,819
air hi Leanne longtime listener

343
00:15:07,710 --> 00:15:06,040
first-time caller why in your

344
00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:07,720
professional opinion do you never take

345
00:15:12,689 --> 00:15:10,870
my calls off the air is this Carl yep

346
00:15:15,449 --> 00:15:12,699
it's Carl I mean we had a few dates

347
00:15:18,509 --> 00:15:15,459
everything was great I thought well you

348
00:15:19,850 --> 00:15:18,519
know when you switch to Geico you could

349
00:15:23,129 --> 00:15:19,860
save a lot of money on car insurance

350
00:15:25,439 --> 00:15:23,139
okay awesome you should call them I will

351
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:25,449
Geico because saving 15% or more on car

352
00:15:30,540 --> 00:15:27,370
insurance is always a great answer

353
00:15:32,130 --> 00:15:30,550

and provides less shielding from these

367
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:05,440

00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:13,089
about many changes to our Sun but less

371
00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:15,610
solar activity doesn't make the Sun and

372
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:18,220
our space environment any less

373
00:16:25,170 --> 00:16:22,810
interesting au contraire or we add let's

374
00:16:28,319 --> 00:16:25,180
pick up some sightings now shall we from

375
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:28,329
UFO stalker comm here comes one from

376
00:16:33,870 --> 00:16:31,209
Tavares Florida it's got a move on

377
00:16:36,420 --> 00:16:33,880
number for purposes of official tracking

378
00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:36,430
and identification here's that number 8

379
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:40,000
for 8 for 7 the date of this event the

380
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:42,370

thin air

384
00:16:55,470 --> 00:16:53,529

sighting specifics we see a viewing

386
00:17:01,620 --> 00:16:58,810
distance reported as 501 feet eventually

387
00:17:04,679 --> 00:17:01,630
becoming one mile the altitude of this

388
00:17:07,409 --> 00:17:04,689
object was 500 feet or less sighting

389
00:17:09,689 --> 00:17:07,419

none the flight path straight line path

392
00:17:18,299 --> 00:17:15,220
and then a path with directional change

393
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:18,309
this object was shaped like a sphere it

394
00:17:23,340 --> 00:17:20,650

conditions report thundering here's what

403
00:17:46,290 --> 00:17:44,290
happened

404
00:17:49,380 --> 00:17:46,300
my boyfriend and I were coming home from

405
00:17:51,570 --> 00:17:49,390
Tavares the fireworks we had the top off

406
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:51,580
the Jeep and as we pulled into our

407
00:17:58,350 --> 00:17:55,200
driveway I saw a strange glowing light I

408
00:18:01,650 --> 00:17:58,360
asked him do you see that light he said

409
00:18:04,260 --> 00:18:01,660
what light I pointed and I said that one

410
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:04,270
over those power lines and then he saw

411
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:05,890
it and he said I don't know

412
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:08,710
we didn't even park the Jeep yet he

413
00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:10,570
stopped immediately left the Jeep

414
00:18:16,530 --> 00:18:13,110
running and we got out to see this it

415
00:18:19,950 --> 00:18:16,540
slowly went over us in a sphere an

416
00:18:22,770 --> 00:18:19,960
orange glow too big to be a star in the

417
00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:22,780
sky and we watched it go past us

418
00:18:28,110 --> 00:18:25,030
overhead it went from northeast to

419
00:18:30,690 --> 00:18:28,120
southwest and then it just disappeared

420
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:30,700
my boyfriend ran inside to grab a

421
00:18:37,010 --> 00:18:33,310
flashlight and he flashed it in the sky

422
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:37,020
all over what we saw was a white glow

423
00:18:43,140 --> 00:18:39,970
moments later in the sky it was as high

424
00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:43,150
as a jet moving slow moving from north

425
00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:46,480
to south he flashed his LED spotlight at

426
00:18:53,070 --> 00:18:49,840
it then we got flashed to quick bursts

427
00:18:54,930 --> 00:18:53,080
of light back I freaked out I was trying

428
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:54,940
to lie down inside he stayed outside

429
00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:57,490
with his flashlight and then a few

430
00:19:00,840 --> 00:18:59,200
minutes later I hear him pounding on the

431
00:19:03,780 --> 00:19:00,850
front living room window yelling for me

432
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:03,790
to hurry outside so I got up and ran

433
00:19:10,110 --> 00:19:06,370
back outside to him he was pointing look

434
00:19:13,470 --> 00:19:10,120
up I saw another orange glowing orb

435
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:13,480
moving east to west and curving toward

436
00:19:18,180 --> 00:19:16,450
and over the lake my boyfriend said it

437
00:19:20,820 --> 00:19:18,190
flashed those two quick beams of light

438
00:19:23,250 --> 00:19:20,830
one more time I didn't witness the

439
00:19:25,170 --> 00:19:23,260
subsequent flashes this time I was so

440
00:19:27,870 --> 00:19:25,180
scared I went back inside the house and

441
00:19:32,430 --> 00:19:27,880
this time I stayed my boyfriend came

442
00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:32,440
back in after 10 minutes very cool that

443
00:19:37,710 --> 00:19:34,630
first boyfriend did not see it and then

444
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:37,720
he got out of the Jeep still running and

445
00:19:43,950 --> 00:19:40,810
definitely saw it and saw more than that

446
00:19:46,710 --> 00:19:43,960
initial thing fascinating not fireworks

447
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:46,720
we think it's safe to say back and forth

448
00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:50,080
communication via light who knows let's

449
00:19:57,310 --> 00:19:53,200
go to Arizona city of needles for this

450
00:19:59,289 --> 00:19:57,320
sighting MUFON Case number 8 for 8 for 2

451
00:20:02,019 --> 00:19:59,299
it's another fourth of July sighting

452
00:20:04,060 --> 00:20:02,029
this happens annually some of the stuff

453
00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:04,070
though just does not fit into the

454
00:20:10,299 --> 00:20:06,799
criteria of fireworks as we know them

455
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:10,309
this event got a next day report the

456
00:20:16,419 --> 00:20:13,610
summary says like glitter meteor shower

457
00:20:18,970 --> 00:20:16,429
of objects well that does sound like

458
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:18,980
fireworks we'll read it and see what you

459
00:20:23,620 --> 00:20:21,440
gentle listeners think for yourselves

460
00:20:26,919 --> 00:20:23,630
citing specifics offer an unknown

461
00:20:29,499 --> 00:20:26,929
viewing distance the altitude over 500

462
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:29,509
feet no cloud cover this sighting

463
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:31,970
duration was eight minutes object

464
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:34,690
features other object flight paths

465
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:37,850
straight-line path path with directional

466
00:20:43,090 --> 00:20:40,850
change a path and then the hovering and

467
00:20:46,090 --> 00:20:43,100
this object is reported to have been

468
00:20:48,879 --> 00:20:46,100
star like in shape there isn't any

469
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:48,889
meteorology report so let's just jump in

470
00:20:53,980 --> 00:20:51,490
it seemed to go something like this

471
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:53,990
traveling back home from a fireworks

472
00:20:59,289 --> 00:20:56,450
show about 10:00 p.m. my mother and I

473
00:21:01,119 --> 00:20:59,299
were driving south towards home all of a

474
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:01,129
sudden I glanced at some fireworks in

475
00:21:05,860 --> 00:21:03,710
the distance to the southeast and I

476
00:21:08,139 --> 00:21:05,870
noticed something that reminded me of a

477
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:08,149
meteor shower it was going in a straight

478
00:21:13,629 --> 00:21:10,730
path towards the eastward direction I

479
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:13,639
was driving I was turning west but I

480
00:21:18,899 --> 00:21:16,610
stopped I turned back east to really get

481
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:18,909
a good look at what I was seeing

482
00:21:24,310 --> 00:21:21,830
curiosity got the best of me I told my

483
00:21:27,970 --> 00:21:24,320
mother and asked her if she saw what I

484
00:21:31,509 --> 00:21:27,980
was seeing she told me yes I see stars

485
00:21:33,610 --> 00:21:31,519
shining in a cluster these objects seem

486
00:21:35,980 --> 00:21:33,620
to stop going in a straight line in the

487
00:21:39,129 --> 00:21:35,990
sky it seemed like they were hovering in

488
00:21:41,259 --> 00:21:39,139
a cluster I pulled off to the side of

489
00:21:42,850 --> 00:21:41,269
the road to call my sister I wanted to

490
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:42,860
know if she could see it from her view

491
00:21:46,990 --> 00:21:44,570
which was a couple of miles away from

492
00:21:49,450 --> 00:21:47,000
where I was she didn't see anything but

493
00:21:52,539 --> 00:21:49,460
fireworks so I told her to call someone

494
00:21:54,940 --> 00:21:52,549
else I knew who was living nearby as I

495
00:21:57,399 --> 00:21:54,950
kept watching these glittery objects

496
00:22:01,119 --> 00:21:57,409
hovering now they seemed to be there a

497
00:22:04,180 --> 00:22:01,129
long time the cluster star like glittery

498
00:22:07,330 --> 00:22:04,190
objects began then to drift still in a

499
00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:07,340
cluster towards the Northeast I couldn't

500
00:22:12,669 --> 00:22:09,830
get anything to show up on my camera

501
00:22:15,159 --> 00:22:12,679
phone I watched as these things slowly

502
00:22:17,139 --> 00:22:15,169
moved into the distance and then my

503
00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:17,149
sister texted me the person she called

504
00:22:22,389 --> 00:22:20,240
had seen them overhead as well but also

505
00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:22,399
wasn't able to take any kind of a good

506
00:22:26,110 --> 00:22:23,200
picture

507
00:22:28,990 --> 00:22:26,120
there were many objects in the sky I

508
00:22:31,539 --> 00:22:29,000
could not figure out what they were I've

509
00:22:35,529 --> 00:22:31,549
seen many things in the sky but these

510
00:22:38,049 --> 00:22:35,539
things left me truly amazed so it

511
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:38,059
doesn't seem that it fits the way we

512
00:22:43,620 --> 00:22:41,630
tend to think fireworks behave and there

513
00:22:45,970 --> 00:22:43,630
are those then who postulate that

514
00:22:46,299 --> 00:22:45,980
extraterrestrial presence on the 4th of

515
00:22:48,310 --> 00:22:46,309
July

516
00:22:52,210 --> 00:22:48,320
they're just here for the fireworks

517
00:22:55,389 --> 00:22:52,220
folks let's shift our trajectory north

518
00:22:57,659 --> 00:22:55,399
just a bit slightly to the west and we

519
00:22:59,919 --> 00:22:57,669
won't stop till we come to Boise Idaho

520
00:23:03,759 --> 00:22:59,929
that's the setting for a move on

521
00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:03,769
sighting number 8 for 8 for 4 this is

522
00:23:09,789 --> 00:23:06,169
another fourth of July sighting reported

523
00:23:12,639 --> 00:23:09,799
the next day in summary glowing orange

524
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:12,649
orb with flame like bright orange

525
00:23:22,419 --> 00:23:18,250
emanations overhead fading still visible

526
00:23:26,169 --> 00:23:22,429
viewing distance here 101 feet to 500

527
00:23:28,659 --> 00:23:26,179
feet the altitude over 500 feet nope no

528
00:23:29,259 --> 00:23:28,669
cloud cover the sighting duration 3

529
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:29,269
minutes

530
00:23:35,259 --> 00:23:33,049
object features none this object flew in

531
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:35,269
a straight line path and it was shaped

532
00:23:41,230 --> 00:23:38,570
like a sphere but once again no mention

533
00:23:44,259 --> 00:23:41,240
of the weather so we'll weather it what

534
00:23:47,409 --> 00:23:44,269
ever here's the account watching

535
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:47,419
fireworks over Northwest Boise large

536
00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:51,049
orange orb it was emanating a brighter

537
00:23:57,460 --> 00:23:54,289
orange light and I spotted it at least

538
00:23:59,320 --> 00:23:57,470
four other people saw this as well at

539
00:24:02,049 --> 00:23:59,330
first we thought this could be a Chinese

540
00:24:04,750 --> 00:24:02,059
lantern but we realized this thing was

541
00:24:07,659 --> 00:24:04,760
moving about 100 miles per hour or the

542
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:07,669
speed of a small plane when it was

543
00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:11,059
almost directly overhead the light faded

544
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:14,000
but the round object was still visible

545
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:16,250
against the sky and moving at the same

546
00:24:21,730 --> 00:24:19,850
speed I lost it against that nearly full

547
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:21,740
moon but others tracked it for another

548
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:23,130
30 seconds

549
00:24:28,850 --> 00:24:26,370
finally we all lost sight of it whatever

550
00:24:32,299 --> 00:24:28,860
this was it was visible for one minute

551
00:24:35,150 --> 00:24:32,309
glowing and then again not illuminated

552
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:35,160
for another approximately one minute

553
00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:37,410

554
00:24:43,130 --> 00:24:40,289

558
00:24:53,299 --> 00:24:51,660

00:24:59,840 --> 00:24:56,909
drones Chinese lanterns flares the usual

561
00:25:01,789 --> 00:24:59,850
suspects but we'll never move along

562
00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:01,799

563
00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:05,280
