1 00:00:06,710 --> 00:00:04,070 day july 27 2017 you are listening to 2 00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:06,720 inception radio network voice of the 3 00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:09,519 fringe majority this is carol carl with 4 00:00:16,870 --> 00:00:15,270 how about this for a headline from 5 00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:16,880 earthsky.org 6 00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:19,279 written by bruce mcclure go someplace 7 00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:22,320 dark and watch meteors exclamation mark 8 00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:23,920 well that sounds like something one 9 00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:26,160 might want to consider tonight and in 10 00:00:31,429 --> 00:00:28,560 the coming nights treat yourself to one 11 00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:31,439 of nature's spectacles this time of year 12 00:00:36,389 --> 00:00:33,760 and into august people look forward to 13 00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:36,399 the perseid meteor shower and it's 14 00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:39,360 wonderful with rates of about 60 meteors 15 00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:41,760 per hour at its peak we've been talking 16 00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:43,760 about the perseids a lot lately they're 17 00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:46,879 gearing up even now so if you go outside 18 00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:49,360 between midnight and dawn tonight or 19 00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:51,920 maybe this weekend you might see some 20 00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:54,000 but there's another meteor shower 21 00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:56,160 happening too we've also talked about 22 00:01:01,990 --> 00:00:58,640 that we'll remind you it's the delta 23 00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:02,000 aquarid meteor shower the delta aquarius 24 00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:03,840 don't have as definite a peak as the 25 00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:07,040 perseids instead that shower produces a 26 00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:09,360 steady supply of meteors for some weeks 27 00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:12,720 in late july and early august so tonight 28 00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:15,040 and this weekend those are good times to 29 00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:17,200 watch because the moon is in a waxing 30 00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:19,680 crescent phase this means the moon sets 31 00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:21,920 in the early evening in other words we 32 00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,560 have deliciously dark skies for watching 33 00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:26,880 these delta aquarids which are at their 34 00:01:31,749 --> 00:01:30,320 best in those dark hours before dawn oh 35 00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:31,759 bring the coffee 36 00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:35,200 those meteors are beautiful and tonight 37 00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:37,119 under a dark sky between midnight and 38 00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:40,320 dawn you might see as many as 10 to 15 39 00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,320 meteors per hour 40 00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:44,479 most will be somewhat faint so try to 41 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:46,880 find as dark a sky as you can now let's 42 00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:49,680 talk radiant points shall we the delta 43 00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:52,159 aquarid radiant point is close to the 44 00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:54,640 ecliptic or the sun's path across our 45 00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:55,600 sky 46 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,000 if you trace the path of a delta-aquarid 47 00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:00,240 meteor backwards you're going to find 48 00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:02,640 that radiant point and you'll find that 49 00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:06,000 star delta aquarii also called scat 50 00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:09,200 spelled s-k-a-t that nearly coincides 51 00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:12,160 with the radiant oh delta aquarii that's 52 00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,599 spelled a-q-u-a-r-i-i 53 00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:18,000 two eyes and you're gonna need two eyes 54 00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:19,440 to see this 55 00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:22,319 eyes on perseid now that shower is 56 00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:24,000 supposed to produce the greatest number 57 00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:26,480 of meteors on the night of august 11th 58 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,200 through the 13th however the waning 59 00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:31,440 gibbous moon is going to be bright in 60 00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:33,760 the hours after midnight so look out for 61 00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:36,800 that pesky moonlight but late july and 62 00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:38,800 early august might be a better time to 63 00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:40,720 watch those meteors this year before the 64 00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:43,599 moonlight becomes too overpowering the 65 00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:45,680 perseids are known to rise to a peak 66 00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:47,840 gradually so they'll be increasing in 67 00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:49,599 numbers every night over the coming 68 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:52,480 weeks although at the same time the moon 69 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:54,720 will be increasing in brilliance and 70 00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:57,680 edging into that post-midnight sky 71 00:03:03,270 --> 00:02:59,920 meanwhile those delta aquarids will be 72 00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:03,280 raining down steadily night after night 73 00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:04,959 so you can watch them from the southern 74 00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:07,760 hemisphere too yes the delta aquarids 75 00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:10,319 especially are a good shower for you the 76 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,800 delta aquarids fall more abundantly in 77 00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:14,480 fact in the southern hemisphere 78 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:17,280 featuring perhaps 15 delta aquarid 79 00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:21,040 meteors per hour in an inky dark sky 80 00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:23,440 all around the world the radiance of the 81 00:03:28,790 --> 00:03:25,360 showers climbs highest for the night 82 00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,800 around 2 to 3 a.m local time and if you 83 00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:30,799 are someplace where daylight time is 84 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:33,200 observed that would be three to four am 85 00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:36,159 for you but the radiant soars way higher 86 00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:37,760 in the southern hemisphere than at 87 00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,000 comparable latitudes for the northern 88 00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:42,720 hemisphere and here's another celestial 89 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:44,799 treat tossed our way tonight if you go 90 00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:47,440 outside tonight and you notice a bright 91 00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:49,440 star near the moon 92 00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:52,560 well that's no star it's planet jupiter 93 00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:55,200 king planet jupiter the moon and jupiter 94 00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:57,760 will be even closer tomorrow night and 95 00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:00,319 nearby is that bright star spika in the 96 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,200 constellation virgo the maiden 97 00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:05,519 so get ready for the bottom line 98 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:08,080 given dark skies you won't see as many 99 00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:10,640 meteors in late july and early august as 100 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:13,120 you will at the perseid meteor shower 101 00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:15,519 peak and that's august 11th through the 102 00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:19,120 13th but this year in 2017 you won't 103 00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:22,160 have much moon free time for viewing the 104 00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,120 perseids ah blame the moon 105 00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:27,440 now let's segue from the moon to well 106 00:04:31,310 --> 00:04:29,440 the moon here's a headline written by 107 00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:31,320 mike weiner for 108 00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:32,880 bgrnews.com 109 00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:35,680 there might be a whole bunch of water 110 00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:38,160 hiding inside the moon 111 00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,000 with how much attention humanity is 112 00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:42,160 devoted to studying earth's moon over 113 00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:44,400 the centuries you'd think we'd have a 114 00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:46,400 good handle on just about everything 115 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:48,960 there is to know about our nearest 116 00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:49,840 neighbor 117 00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:52,720 some extremely interesting new research 118 00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:55,440 suggests that's simply not the case and 119 00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:57,600 if the scientific team comprised of 120 00:05:02,710 --> 00:04:59,440 researchers from the university of 121 00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:02,720 hawaii as well as brown holds water the 122 00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,000 moon might be a great deal more wet 123 00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:08,720 inside than previously thought 124 00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:10,639 scientists have known for some time that 125 00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:12,880 there's at least some water on the moon 126 00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:14,800 however the complete lack of an 127 00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:17,199 atmosphere and the ravages of our sun 128 00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:18,800 was blamed for its almost complete 129 00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:19,919 depletion 130 00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:22,800 but now the idea that a greater amount 131 00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:24,800 of water might be hiding underneath the 132 00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:26,880 moon's surface is beginning to look 133 00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:29,600 quite plausible and after detecting tiny 134 00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:32,479 bits of water encased in volcanic glass 135 00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:34,080 within the moon rocks brought back to 136 00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:36,479 earth from the apollo missions this new 137 00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:39,280 research effort is looking deeper 138 00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:41,039 combining the previous discoveries with 139 00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:43,039 extremely accurate temperature readings 140 00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:45,600 of the moon's surface the team suggests 141 00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:48,639 that water-rich deposits are hiding just 142 00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:50,880 below that dusty landscape 143 00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:53,280 the readings point to pockets of water 144 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:55,520 trapped within long dormant volcanic 145 00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:57,759 areas and while the team hasn't ventured 146 00:06:02,150 --> 00:05:59,919 a guess as to how the water originally 147 00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:02,160 got on the moon in the first place 148 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:04,880 they're fairly certain that it is indeed 149 00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:07,120 there with several planned missions 150 00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:09,280 aimed at further manned explorations of 151 00:06:14,629 --> 00:06:11,600 the lunar surface and even the potential 152 00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:14,639 of moon bases the presence of water and 153 00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:17,120 the possibility of utilizing it will 154 00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:20,400 surely be explored before long this 155 00:06:25,029 --> 00:06:22,160 broadcaster is left with that haunting 156 00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:25,039 question how did the water get there in 157 00:06:31,150 --> 00:06:27,600 the first place 158 00:06:33,909 --> 00:06:31,160 from water on the moon to air in space 159 00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:33,919 npr.org brings us this headline with a 160 00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:36,000 byline for joe palka 161 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:39,440 after a year in space the air hasn't 162 00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:42,800 gone out of nasa's inflated module 163 00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:45,280 a prototype of what could be the next 164 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:46,800 generation of space stations is 165 00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:49,520 currently in orbit around the earth the 166 00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:52,080 prototype is unusual 167 00:06:56,870 --> 00:06:54,000 instead of arriving in space fully 168 00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:56,880 assembled it arrived folded up and was 169 00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:59,280 only expanded to its full size once in 170 00:07:02,629 --> 00:07:00,240 orbit 171 00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:02,639 the module yes familiar to you gentle 172 00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:06,880 listeners called beam beam the bigelow 173 00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:10,000 expandable activity module what we 174 00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:12,400 mirthfully refer to as the bounce house 175 00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:14,400 in space it's been attached to the 176 00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:16,639 international space station since april 177 00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:18,080 of last year 178 00:07:23,189 --> 00:07:20,880 expandable modules allow nasa to pack a 179 00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:23,199 large volume into a smaller space for 180 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:25,520 launch they're not made of metal but 181 00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:28,800 instead use tough materials like kevlar 182 00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:31,280 that stuff found in bulletproof vests 183 00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:33,599 the station crew used air pressure to 184 00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:36,160 unfold and expand the beam but it's 185 00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:38,560 wrong to think about beam as expanding 186 00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:40,720 like a balloon that could go pop if 187 00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,400 something punctured it 188 00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:44,639 nasa's jason cruson says there's a 189 00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:46,960 better analogy quote it's much like the 190 00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:50,000 tire of your car end quotes 191 00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:52,400 even with no air in a tire that tire 192 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:54,800 retains its tire-like shape 193 00:08:00,550 --> 00:07:58,319 when beam unfolded in orbit it adopted 194 00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:00,560 its more natural shape something 195 00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:03,360 resembling a stumpy watermelon 196 00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:05,440 even if it was to lose all its internal 197 00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:08,160 air quote it still has structure to it 198 00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:10,080 end quote says croissant 199 00:08:14,629 --> 00:08:12,160 of course nasa would prefer beam not 200 00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:14,639 lose all its air so there are many 201 00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:16,720 layers of shielding to prevent things 202 00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:18,720 like meteorites or other space debris 203 00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:21,440 from poking a hole in beam 204 00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:23,919 said crusade quote we do believe we've 205 00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:26,400 taken at least one hit very small in 206 00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:28,879 nature and actually we can't even see 207 00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:31,599 visually where it's at end quotes 208 00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:33,440 croissant said there was no loss of 209 00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:35,360 pressure from that hit 210 00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:38,080 nasa isn't actually using beam for 211 00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:40,240 anything it's just there to see how it 212 00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:43,120 behaves in space but jason cruson says 213 00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,440 the space station crew does indeed go 214 00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:47,519 inside every once in a while to check 215 00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:50,320 sensors inside that module he says crew 216 00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:53,279 members seem to like visiting beam quote 217 00:08:57,509 --> 00:08:55,200 we've actually had up to six crew 218 00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:57,519 members at a time inside it it's about 219 00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:00,959 15 to 16 cubic meters inside 220 00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:03,200 end quotes that translates to something 221 00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:05,680 like the interior space of a modest 222 00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:08,800 sized school bus the original plan was 223 00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:10,720 to detach beam after two years and let 224 00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:13,120 it burn up as it re-enters earth's 225 00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:16,240 atmosphere but there's been a change 226 00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:19,279 here's how jason crewson of nasa put it 227 00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:21,360 because of its performance and it's 228 00:09:24,949 --> 00:09:22,959 doing extremely well 229 00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:24,959 there's really no reason to throw it 230 00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:26,720 away end quotes 231 00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:29,200 since storage is at a premium aboard the 232 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:31,760 space station nasa now plans to use beam 233 00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:34,800 as a kind of a storage shed and keep it 234 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,160 in space as long as the station 235 00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:38,080 continues to operate 236 00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:40,320 the company that made beam bigelow 237 00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:42,880 aerospace has big plans for expandable 238 00:09:49,190 --> 00:09:46,000 modules including a stand-alone space 239 00:09:53,430 --> 00:09:49,200 station that's called the b330 240 00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:53,440 the b-330 is 20 times larger than beam 241 00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:55,120 but company president robert bigelow 242 00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:57,120 remains cautious despite the good 243 00:10:02,870 --> 00:09:59,360 performance of beam here's a quote from 244 00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:02,880 robert bigelow no i worry too much he 245 00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:07,200 says the b330 is much more complex than 246 00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:08,320 the beam 247 00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:10,240 he says quote it has two propulsion 248 00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:13,200 systems it has a very large solar array 249 00:10:17,829 --> 00:10:15,839 set a full suite of environmental life 250 00:10:19,509 --> 00:10:17,839 support systems and quotes 251 00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:19,519 these are all things that have to work 252 00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:21,839 flawlessly if you want to keep a crew of 253 00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:25,440 humans alive and happy in space 254 00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:27,360 he said quote that's why i walk around 255 00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:30,160 perpetually with a frown 256 00:10:33,829 --> 00:10:31,680 it's just because there's so much to 257 00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:33,839 think about and to be concerned about 258 00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:36,399 and quotes says robert bigelow 259 00:10:40,710 --> 00:10:38,880 despite his concerns bigelow says his 260 00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:40,720 new space stations may be in orbit 261 00:10:45,509 --> 00:10:43,040 before too long his company plans to 262 00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:45,519 have two b330s 263 00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:48,480 ready for launch in 2020 264 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:50,560 and here at ufo headline news on 265 00:10:55,990 --> 00:10:52,880 inception radio network we will keep you 266 00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:56,000 in that space loop all righty then 267 00:11:01,269 --> 00:10:58,480 buckle up we've got a bunch of ufo 268 00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:01,279 sightings stacked up and hovering we'll 269 00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:04,160 start with this over assateague island 270 00:11:10,389 --> 00:11:07,920 maryland three massive orange red balls 271 00:11:12,389 --> 00:11:10,399 hover low in sky 272 00:11:16,069 --> 00:11:12,399 our source for this sighting william 273 00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:16,079 puckett's ufos northwest.com excellent 274 00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:17,760 site check it out 275 00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:20,880 this sighting took place july 10th 2017. 276 00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:23,360 the time of the sighting was 10 30 p.m 277 00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:25,519 eastern daylight time 278 00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:27,680 it's right out on the coast there's a 279 00:11:32,870 --> 00:11:30,240 google map it looks like it's right 280 00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:32,880 beside the ocean well it is an island 281 00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:35,360 here's a description of this sighting 282 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:37,760 on tuesday night my girlfriend and i 283 00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:40,560 were in our tent in the e-loop of the 284 00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:43,440 maryland state park at assateague island 285 00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:45,920 it was about 10 30 p.m 286 00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:48,640 i looked outside the tent there were 287 00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:52,240 three massive orange red balls 288 00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:55,680 canted 20 degrees hovering slowly and 289 00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:57,519 low to the ground 290 00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,279 they were covering all that we could see 291 00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:01,839 from inside the tent 292 00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:03,920 previously i have been an imagery 293 00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:06,240 interpreter in the air force i was 294 00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:08,480 trained to identify every aircraft in 295 00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:09,600 the world 296 00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:11,839 i also lived on hickam air force base 297 00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:13,600 for six years 298 00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:15,920 each of the orbs i saw that night was 299 00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:18,480 larger than any aircraft i have ever 300 00:12:22,629 --> 00:12:21,040 seen no aircraft has anywhere near that 301 00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:22,639 size of diameter 302 00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:25,200 and we heard no sound 303 00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:27,360 it was very close to us it was less than 304 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:30,079 a mile and less than 200 feet above the 305 00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:31,440 ground 306 00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:33,519 eventually these things pulled away from 307 00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:37,040 sight and we sat there dumbfounded in my 308 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:39,600 opinion this was a flying object not 309 00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:42,720 some strange astronomical occurrence 310 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:46,160 we watched this for roughly five minutes 311 00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:48,160 it's extra interesting we always think 312 00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:50,399 when there's a witness who is trained in 313 00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:52,880 aerial vehicle identification it's that 314 00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:55,279 process of elimination thing they may 315 00:13:00,069 --> 00:12:57,519 not know what it is but they certainly 316 00:13:01,910 --> 00:13:00,079 can tally what it isn't 317 00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:01,920 we'll keep our trajectory over the 318 00:13:05,509 --> 00:13:03,839 eastern seaboard of the united states 319 00:13:08,629 --> 00:13:05,519 now and pick up this sighting from 320 00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:08,639 arlington virginia it comes by way of 321 00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:11,120 ufostalker.com 322 00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:14,959 mufon gave it a case number 85359 323 00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:17,040 the date of this sighting is the 25th of 324 00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:20,160 july and it got a same-day report here's 325 00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:22,959 what our witness says in summary 326 00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:26,399 looked like star then it separated part 327 00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:30,240 of it dropping as if it was a balloon 328 00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:32,560 the viewing distance over one mile 329 00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:35,519 altitude unknown citing duration two 330 00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:37,760 minutes the object features are simply 331 00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:40,160 listed as other the flight path was 332 00:13:45,190 --> 00:13:42,399 stationary and other 333 00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:45,200 the object shape star-like sit back and 334 00:13:50,949 --> 00:13:48,399 relax gentle listeners this is a juicy 335 00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:50,959 sighting as they say here we go 336 00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:53,040 it was dusk and i'd been outside for 337 00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:55,600 about an hour or so observing passing 338 00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:57,680 air traffic using my high-powered 339 00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:59,199 binoculars 340 00:14:04,230 --> 00:14:01,440 as it was dusk i started to look for 341 00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:04,240 stars and planets first finding jupiter 342 00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:07,120 to my west southwest in fact jupiter was 343 00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:09,279 the only space object i'd seen so far 344 00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:10,720 that night 345 00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:13,839 continuing to scan the skies i turned 346 00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:17,040 about 360 degrees to see what i could 347 00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:18,000 see 348 00:14:22,870 --> 00:14:20,480 i spotted with my naked eye what 349 00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:22,880 appeared to me to be a brighter than 350 00:14:25,670 --> 00:14:24,399 jupiter object 351 00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:25,680 and so i took a look through my 352 00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:27,920 binoculars focusing on the object as 353 00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:29,279 best i could 354 00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:31,680 i reckoned it to be a planet 355 00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:33,360 and then i was going inside to check my 356 00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:35,519 astronomy software so i could try and 357 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:38,160 determine what i was observing 358 00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:40,959 but before i could do that i watched as 359 00:14:46,069 --> 00:14:43,760 this object separated for lack of a 360 00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:46,079 better word that's the best way i can 361 00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:47,360 describe it 362 00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:49,680 it was a balloon perhaps of some type 363 00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:51,920 and a portion of it perhaps like the 364 00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:55,839 gondola dropped away from the balloon 365 00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:57,600 this object i witnessed falling was 366 00:15:01,350 --> 00:14:59,680 leaving a if you have a lowe's advantage 367 00:15:03,350 --> 00:15:01,360 card you can get an extra five percent 368 00:15:04,949 --> 00:15:03,360 off every day on items big or small so 369 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:04,959 you can save an extra five percent on a 370 00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:06,800 new coat of paint updating appliances 371 00:15:10,389 --> 00:15:08,720 replacing the flooring and even save an 372 00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:10,399 extra five percent on little things like 373 00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:12,160 cleaning supplies laundry detergent and 374 00:15:16,150 --> 00:15:14,320 air filters the big to-do's to the 375 00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:16,160 everyday essentials you get an extra 376 00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:17,920 five percent savings every day when you 377 00:15:21,829 --> 00:15:19,600 use your lowe's advantage card if you 378 00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:21,839 don't have one apply today all projects 379 00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:23,680 have a starting point start with lows 380 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:25,040 subject to credit approval and can't be 381 00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:26,320 combined with any other credit offers 382 00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,000 exclusions apply c store for details us 383 00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:30,720 only trail presumably of smoke and 384 00:15:35,189 --> 00:15:31,920 whatnot 385 00:15:37,189 --> 00:15:35,199 also the falling object was lit up so 386 00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:37,199 much so that it appeared to me to be of 387 00:15:41,590 --> 00:15:39,519 the same brightness as i'd initially 388 00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:41,600 observed it when i first spotted this 389 00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:42,959 object 390 00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:47,600 falling my attention was drawn away to 391 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,560 what appeared to be two aircraft flying 392 00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:52,639 almost within the field of view of my 393 00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:55,199 binoculars that is i could almost see 394 00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:58,000 both the airplanes and the falling 395 00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:00,240 object through my non-zoom type 396 00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:03,199 binoculars the airplanes look to me like 397 00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:06,399 b-52 strato fortresses 398 00:16:11,509 --> 00:16:08,480 perfectly lined up so that it looked 399 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:11,519 like one plane with two sets of wings 400 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:13,360 these airplanes were headed east 401 00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:15,120 northeast 402 00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:17,519 returning my visual focus to the object 403 00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:20,880 i originally observed well i didn't see 404 00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:23,519 it i looked through my binoculars and 405 00:16:26,470 --> 00:16:25,440 with my naked eyes 406 00:16:28,629 --> 00:16:26,480 nothing 407 00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:28,639 and now the airplanes were also out of 408 00:16:32,389 --> 00:16:29,839 view 409 00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:32,399 regarding these airplanes my best guess 410 00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:34,160 on their altitude would be less than ten 411 00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:35,519 thousand feet 412 00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:38,399 and i say this because i think i recall 413 00:16:43,110 --> 00:16:40,720 hearing the airplanes which is why my 414 00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:43,120 attention was diverted to them and given 415 00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:45,440 the airplane gazing i've been doing just 416 00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:48,880 before i know what an airplane say at 30 417 00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:50,720 thousand to forty thousand feet looks 418 00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:51,600 like 419 00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:53,920 and they're nowhere as large as the 420 00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:56,639 object or objects i saw 421 00:17:01,030 --> 00:16:58,880 as far as this other object is concerned 422 00:17:02,470 --> 00:17:01,040 i estimate its altitude to be about that 423 00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:02,480 same range 424 00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:04,959 i say this partly because of how quickly 425 00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:07,360 the one object was falling 426 00:17:11,590 --> 00:17:10,079 my considered opinion is that the object 427 00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:11,600 would not have appeared to me to be 428 00:17:15,669 --> 00:17:14,240 moving so quickly had it been at a much 429 00:17:18,069 --> 00:17:15,679 higher altitude 430 00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:18,079 following my failed effort to visually 431 00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:20,160 reacquire the falling object and the 432 00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:22,799 parent object i looked to see if i could 433 00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:25,760 spot the airplanes but i could not they 434 00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:28,400 had become blocked by a building 435 00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:31,120 thank you says the witness oh witness we 436 00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:34,240 thank you what an interesting report 437 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:36,400 that's pretty unique that description of 438 00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:42,240 two b-52 strato fortress looking planes 439 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:45,039 from strange planes and other objects to 440 00:17:49,270 --> 00:17:48,000 a black triangle sighting in congress 441 00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:49,280 arizona 442 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:51,679 mufon has given this sighting a number 443 00:17:56,510 --> 00:17:53,760 for purposes of tracking and 444 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:56,520 identification that number 445 00:17:59,909 --> 00:17:58,080 85318 446 00:18:03,909 --> 00:17:59,919 this is an older sighting it took place 447 00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:03,919 in 2015 on may 20th but for some reason 448 00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:06,000 the witness did not report it until the 449 00:18:09,990 --> 00:18:08,720 24th of july and that's why we're 450 00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:10,000 hearing it now 451 00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:12,320 here's what the witness offers as a 452 00:18:16,870 --> 00:18:13,360 summary 453 00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:16,880 a giant triangle-shaped craft slowly 454 00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:19,760 flew across the clear night sky 455 00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:22,640 viewing distance over one mile altitude 456 00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:26,160 over 500 feet nope no cloud cover 457 00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:29,120 the siding duration five minutes object 458 00:18:33,909 --> 00:18:31,039 features unknown 459 00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:33,919 object flight path path with directional 460 00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:37,039 change and quite obviously this object 461 00:18:41,029 --> 00:18:39,280 was shaped like a triangle 462 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:41,039 that night in congress arizona the 463 00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:43,679 maximum temperature was 73 degrees 464 00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:46,640 fahrenheit 23 degrees celsius dropping 465 00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:49,600 down to a desert chill of 41 degrees 466 00:18:55,190 --> 00:18:52,559 fahrenheit 5 degrees celsius 467 00:18:58,150 --> 00:18:55,200 all of those visibility factors noted 468 00:19:01,110 --> 00:18:58,160 maximum mean and minimum the same 10 469 00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:01,120 miles 16 kilometers and at the time of 470 00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:03,520 this sighting there was nothing abnormal 471 00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:05,919 about the arizona weather 472 00:19:10,789 --> 00:19:08,480 here's the sighting itself first person 473 00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:10,799 in the words of our witness 474 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:12,799 my friend has a house on the outskirts 475 00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:14,480 of congress arizona 476 00:19:18,789 --> 00:19:15,840 from the front yard you can see the 477 00:19:21,190 --> 00:19:18,799 milky way and a good amount of stars 478 00:19:23,590 --> 00:19:21,200 there are no city lights 479 00:19:27,029 --> 00:19:23,600 looking up as i was smoking a cigarette 480 00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:27,039 i noticed a light slowly moving across 481 00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:28,320 the sky 482 00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:29,679 at first i was thinking it was a 483 00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:32,240 satellite because it seemed too far up 484 00:19:37,029 --> 00:19:33,760 to be a plane 485 00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:37,039 plus the light was just a white light 486 00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:38,400 if it hadn't moved 487 00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:40,320 it would have looked like a star 488 00:19:46,230 --> 00:19:43,520 and then as i was watching it i noticed 489 00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:46,240 another one directly below it moving in 490 00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:48,320 perfect formation 491 00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:50,160 as i looked at the two lights i noticed 492 00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:53,120 a third one in front moving perfectly 493 00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:55,120 with the other two 494 00:19:59,110 --> 00:19:57,520 and then i could see these were moving 495 00:20:01,830 --> 00:19:59,120 across the sky 496 00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:01,840 and as they moved the stars were being 497 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:05,440 blacked out inside a triangle shape 498 00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:07,200 i ran inside and told my friend to come 499 00:20:10,950 --> 00:20:09,840 and look at this ufo moving across the 500 00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:10,960 sky 501 00:20:15,190 --> 00:20:13,360 he came out and when he did i caught 502 00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:15,200 sight of it again 503 00:20:21,669 --> 00:20:18,080 it turned from moving westward and moved 504 00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:21,679 straight up very smoothly and slowly and 505 00:20:27,590 --> 00:20:25,360 then it just faded into the stars 506 00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:27,600 my friend has been on that property and 507 00:20:32,630 --> 00:20:30,320 his family before him he said that stuff 508 00:20:35,350 --> 00:20:32,640 doesn't even faze him anymore 509 00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:35,360 his dad and he have seen countless 510 00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:37,280 unexplained things in the night 511 00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:39,200 regarding this sighting from what i 512 00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:42,480 could tell whatever it was was very very 513 00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:43,440 big 514 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:48,799 cloudless that night my guess on the 515 00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:51,520 size of this object these objects would 516 00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:55,520 be at least the size of a small city 517 00:20:59,909 --> 00:20:58,320 yep that's what it says right here a 518 00:21:02,549 --> 00:20:59,919 small city 519 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:02,559 ponder that gentle listeners let's 520 00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:05,120 change our trajectory zoom all the way 521 00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:07,840 across the continental united states and 522 00:21:12,630 --> 00:21:10,480 hover over dana point california right 523 00:21:15,029 --> 00:21:12,640 on the coast it's mufon case number 524 00:21:17,029 --> 00:21:15,039 85358 525 00:21:19,909 --> 00:21:17,039 the date of this sighting it's also an 526 00:21:23,110 --> 00:21:19,919 older one the year is 2015 the month of 527 00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:23,120 may the day the 26th it didn't get 528 00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:26,400 reported till july 25th this year once 529 00:21:34,149 --> 00:21:30,080 again some delay in reporting the 530 00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:34,159 summary black object came around a cloud 531 00:21:41,750 --> 00:21:38,960 disappeared into cloud did not re-emerge 532 00:21:45,830 --> 00:21:41,760 cloud eventually disappeared as if 533 00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:45,840 absorbed or taken by the object 534 00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:48,640 our witness reports a sighting specific 535 00:21:53,350 --> 00:21:50,720 viewing distance unknown 536 00:21:55,029 --> 00:21:53,360 the altitude was over 500 feet and there 537 00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:55,039 was cloud cover 538 00:22:00,230 --> 00:21:57,120 the sighting duration was 20 minutes 539 00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:00,240 long but the object features are merely 540 00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:02,000 reported as none 541 00:22:05,350 --> 00:22:04,400 the flight path path with directional 542 00:22:08,470 --> 00:22:05,360 change 543 00:22:10,470 --> 00:22:08,480 this object had a shape like a sphere 544 00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:10,480 somebody went back and listed the 545 00:22:13,990 --> 00:22:12,720 weather that night over dana point 546 00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:14,000 california 547 00:22:18,789 --> 00:22:16,000 maximum temperature 70 degrees 548 00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:18,799 fahrenheit 21 degrees celsius 549 00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:21,840 a coastal chill of 61 degrees fahrenheit 550 00:22:27,110 --> 00:22:24,240 16 degrees celsius 551 00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:27,120 the visibility factors maximum mean 552 00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:29,679 minimum they all stood the same that 553 00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:32,880 standard 10 miles 16 kilometers 554 00:22:37,669 --> 00:22:35,600 and at the time of this particular event 555 00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:37,679 in dana point california there wasn't 556 00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:40,640 anything unusual about the weather 557 00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:43,200 here is the sighting once again in the 558 00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:46,400 first person words of our witness 559 00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:48,000 i was working on the dana point 560 00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:49,679 headlands preserve 561 00:22:54,870 --> 00:22:52,480 within the city of dana point california 562 00:22:56,950 --> 00:22:54,880 my boss was also there but did not 563 00:22:58,710 --> 00:22:56,960 witness this event he was speaking to 564 00:23:00,149 --> 00:22:58,720 someone else 565 00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:00,159 i looked up 566 00:23:05,110 --> 00:23:02,720 and noticed a black spot 567 00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:05,120 of what at first i thought was a turkey 568 00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:07,440 vulture circling the sky to the 569 00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:10,559 southeast the southwest it was circling 570 00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:12,480 over the camp pendleton marine corps 571 00:23:16,230 --> 00:23:13,760 base 572 00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:16,240 i noted the black spot which i thought 573 00:23:22,630 --> 00:23:18,720 was a turkey vulture circled to the 574 00:23:24,630 --> 00:23:22,640 north then and it traveled into a cloud 575 00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:24,640 i thought this was odd behavior for a 576 00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:28,799 turkey vulture to fly into a cloud 577 00:23:33,909 --> 00:23:31,679 i waited for the bird to exit the cloud 578 00:23:37,909 --> 00:23:33,919 but it never did 579 00:23:39,750 --> 00:23:37,919 and then the cloud started to shrink 580 00:23:42,470 --> 00:23:39,760 slowly at first 581 00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:42,480 but as it got smaller it shrank faster 582 00:23:47,029 --> 00:23:44,880 and faster until this cloud was 583 00:23:50,149 --> 00:23:47,039 completely gone 584 00:23:53,270 --> 00:23:50,159 it did not move up it did not move down 585 00:23:56,470 --> 00:23:53,280 or sideways it just disappeared 586 00:23:58,310 --> 00:23:56,480 i never saw the black spot again 587 00:24:00,870 --> 00:23:58,320 it was too late now to point out my 588 00:24:02,630 --> 00:24:00,880 observation to my boss as there was 589 00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:02,640 nothing to see 590 00:24:05,909 --> 00:24:04,480 this perturbed me 591 00:24:09,029 --> 00:24:05,919 i started to think 592 00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:09,039 why would an object go into a cloud 593 00:24:14,710 --> 00:24:11,840 and then why would the cloud dissipate 594 00:24:16,870 --> 00:24:14,720 the first thought i had was water 595 00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:16,880 harvesting possibly through an 596 00:24:22,549 --> 00:24:19,120 inter-dimensional portal 597 00:24:23,909 --> 00:24:22,559 but over an active military base very 598 00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:23,919 strange 599 00:24:27,909 --> 00:24:25,840 i tried to submit this information years 600 00:24:31,269 --> 00:24:27,919 ago but because of technical 601 00:24:34,149 --> 00:24:31,279 difficulties i wasn't able to do so but 602 00:24:36,310 --> 00:24:34,159 i am reporting it now 603 00:24:38,070 --> 00:24:36,320 and we're glad to read this report 604 00:24:41,029 --> 00:24:38,080 shrinking clouds 605 00:24:43,909 --> 00:24:41,039 probably safe to say that was no turkey 606 00:24:45,669 --> 00:24:43,919 vulture and don't they usually fly in 607 00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:45,679 flocks hmm 608 00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:48,320 well at any rate we've gotta fly out of 609 00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:49,840 here because 610 00:24:54,470 --> 00:24:52,240 that's a wrap follow today's broadcast 611 00:24:57,350 -->
