1 00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:03,379 Thanks October 19th 2017 you are 2 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:05,790 listening to inception Radio Network 3 00:00:13,549 --> 00:00:08,610 voice of the fringe majority this is 4 00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:13,559 Carol Karl with the UFO news let's see 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:15,870 what's up for the sky watching part of 6 00:00:22,130 --> 00:00:18,690 our day at the end of the day the 7 00:00:24,529 --> 00:00:22,140 headline is Uranus at opposition tonight 8 00:00:28,339 --> 00:00:24,539 Bruce McClure writes this for Earth's 9 00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:28,349 sky dorg that planet Uranus the seventh 10 00:00:33,380 --> 00:00:30,510 planet outward from the Sun is at 11 00:00:36,290 --> 00:00:33,390 opposition in other words our planet 12 00:00:38,869 --> 00:00:36,300 Earth in its smaller faster orbit swings 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:38,879 in between the Sun and Uranus today 14 00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:41,730 placing Uranus opposite the Sun in our 15 00:00:47,170 --> 00:00:45,000 sky and because Uranus is opposite the 16 00:00:49,819 --> 00:00:47,180 Sun it rises in the East at sunset 17 00:00:52,130 --> 00:00:49,829 climbs highest up for the night at 18 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:52,140 midnight midway between sunset and 19 00:00:57,889 --> 00:00:54,890 sunrise and sets in the west at sunrise 20 00:01:00,529 --> 00:00:57,899 not only does your ana stay out all 21 00:01:02,689 --> 00:01:00,539 night long but this world is now coming 22 00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:02,699 closest to Earth for the entire year 23 00:01:08,690 --> 00:01:05,760 shining at its brightest best in our sky 24 00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:08,700 but even at its brightest Uranus is 25 00:01:12,859 --> 00:01:09,990 still quite faint 26 00:01:15,469 --> 00:01:12,869 in fact it's barely perceptible as a dim 27 00:01:19,399 --> 00:01:15,479 speck of light to the unaided eye at a 28 00:01:21,380 --> 00:01:19,409 magnitude of 5.68 Uranus shines no more 29 00:01:25,039 --> 00:01:21,390 brilliantly than the skies faintest 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:25,049 stars in fact but given a dark sky free 31 00:01:29,899 --> 00:01:27,450 of light pollution you might see Uranus 32 00:01:32,090 --> 00:01:29,909 with the eye alone but you've got to 33 00:01:34,069 --> 00:01:32,100 know exactly where to look for this 34 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:34,079 distant world in front of the rather 35 00:01:39,410 --> 00:01:37,170 faint constellation Pisces and yes there 36 00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:39,420 will be a constellation chart thanks to 37 00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:41,790 earth sky org you can find it later by 38 00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:44,369 simply heading on over to UFO headline 39 00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:47,430 news calm it's all neat and tidy the 40 00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:49,619 earth sky dot-org people have labeled 41 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:52,110 the star Omicron Pi cesium in the 42 00:01:57,530 --> 00:01:55,200 constellation Pisces just for you this 43 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:57,540 star which is visible to the eye alone 44 00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:00,240 on a dark night is close to the ecliptic 45 00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:03,390 in the sky chart at the far eastern left 46 00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:05,750 portion of that constellation Pisces 47 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:09,599 once you find this star try hopping that 48 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:13,440 star hop dance from there to Uranus as 49 00:02:18,410 --> 00:02:15,690 fortune would have it this year the new 50 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:18,420 moon a mon most nearly between the Earth 51 00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:20,730 and Sun for this month falls October 52 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:23,820 19th at nearly the same hour that Uranus 53 00:02:31,370 --> 00:02:26,690 reaches opposition the time for that 54 00:02:33,650 --> 00:02:31,380 1912 UTC the moon will turn new and that 55 00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:33,660 means there'll be no pesky moonlight to 56 00:02:38,810 --> 00:02:36,840 wash out the 2017 Uranus opposition take 57 00:02:41,330 --> 00:02:38,820 advantage of the moon free night tonight 58 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:41,340 because next year's opposition of Uranus 59 00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:43,530 will fall on the same day as the full 60 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:45,780 moon and good luck with that 61 00:02:51,710 --> 00:02:49,170 that'll be October 24th 2018 and mark 62 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:51,720 your calendar even at its closest point 63 00:02:55,010 --> 00:02:52,290 to earth 64 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:55,020 Uranus does not come particularly close 65 00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:55,770 to Earth 66 00:03:01,040 --> 00:02:58,890 it'll be just shy of 19 astronomical 67 00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:01,050 units away from Earth and 20 68 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:03,870 astronomical units from the Sun oh the 69 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:06,450 astronomical unit by the way it says 70 00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:08,970 here one astronomical unit equals the 71 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:11,550 sun-earth distance if you've got that 72 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:13,770 pair of trusty binoculars Uranus is 73 00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:16,080 quite easy to view although it will only 74 00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:18,959 look like a rather faint star and again 75 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:21,000 you've got to know precisely where to 76 00:03:26,449 --> 00:03:23,250 look to find the seventh planet from the 77 00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:26,459 Sun your best bet is to find a good sky 78 00:03:30,979 --> 00:03:28,260 chart and we told you where to get that 79 00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:30,989 and then do that star hop from the 4th 80 00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:34,080 magnitude star Omicron Pi see'em fairly 81 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:36,000 easy to see with your eye alone on a 82 00:03:41,630 --> 00:03:38,610 dark night follow that star to the 83 00:03:45,229 --> 00:03:41,640 planet Uranus and here's the bottom line 84 00:03:48,110 --> 00:03:45,239 on October 19 2017 the planet Uranus 85 00:03:51,229 --> 00:03:48,120 reaches up position and the moon turns 86 00:03:53,390 --> 00:03:51,239 new good news for providing a dark sky 87 00:03:57,340 --> 00:03:53,400 for viewing Uranus in front of the 88 00:04:01,250 --> 00:03:57,350 constellation Pisces good luck headline 89 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:01,260 gravitational waves neutron stars killer 90 00:04:07,370 --> 00:04:04,650 Nova's what the new physics announcement 91 00:04:10,430 --> 00:04:07,380 means this is from the Washington Post 92 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:10,440 calm with a byline for Benoit Reno and 93 00:04:16,370 --> 00:04:13,650 Sarah Kaplan let's rewind a bit on 94 00:04:18,740 --> 00:04:16,380 Monday scientists announced the first 95 00:04:21,010 --> 00:04:18,750 observation of a cosmic event using 96 00:04:23,719 --> 00:04:21,020 gravitational wave detectors and 97 00:04:26,779 --> 00:04:23,729 conventional telescopes what they 98 00:04:27,370 --> 00:04:26,789 witnessed was a kill ANOVA they spell 99 00:04:32,050 --> 00:04:27,380 that 100 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:32,060 ILO Nov a a violent brilliant explosion 101 00:04:37,570 --> 00:04:33,890 that occurs when two neutron stars 102 00:04:40,090 --> 00:04:37,580 collide the discovery was a massive 103 00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:40,100 undertaking thousands of researchers 104 00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:41,990 from diverse fields in physics and 105 00:04:46,810 --> 00:04:44,240 astronomy played crucial roles and 106 00:04:50,110 --> 00:04:46,820 there's a lot of science to understand 107 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:50,120 so here are some answers to basic 108 00:04:56,290 --> 00:04:52,730 questions about Monday's news 109 00:04:59,860 --> 00:04:56,300 it begins remind me what our 110 00:05:03,400 --> 00:04:59,870 gravitational waves again gravitational 111 00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:03,410 waves are ripples in space-time caused 112 00:05:08,470 --> 00:05:06,110 by cosmic events they travel at the same 113 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:08,480 speed as light their existence was first 114 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:10,970 predicted by Albert Einstein as a 115 00:05:15,970 --> 00:05:12,770 byproduct of his theory of general 116 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:15,980 relativity you see Einstein had figured 117 00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:18,410 out that gravity was a consequence of 118 00:05:24,250 --> 00:05:21,830 the way mass warps space-time heavy 119 00:05:26,850 --> 00:05:24,260 objects it in the fabric of the universe 120 00:05:29,890 --> 00:05:26,860 like bowling balls on a trampoline 121 00:05:32,140 --> 00:05:29,900 curving the space around them that's why 122 00:05:34,420 --> 00:05:32,150 the moon orbits planets and planets 123 00:05:37,090 --> 00:05:34,430 orbit the Sun not because they're 124 00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:37,100 attached by some cosmic leash but 125 00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:39,230 because space-time is curling around 126 00:05:44,380 --> 00:05:42,080 this larger object and they're caught in 127 00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:44,390 the whirlpool sticking with that 128 00:05:49,450 --> 00:05:46,940 trampoline metaphor gravitational waves 129 00:05:51,850 --> 00:05:49,460 are what might happen if you smash two 130 00:05:55,540 --> 00:05:51,860 bowling balls together and cause them to 131 00:05:57,940 --> 00:05:55,550 explode that Cataclysm would vibrate the 132 00:06:01,390 --> 00:05:57,950 fabric of the trampoline sending ripples 133 00:06:04,930 --> 00:06:01,400 out toward the edge when two black holes 134 00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:04,940 collide or when neutron stars merge the 135 00:06:10,210 --> 00:06:06,710 gravitational waves from that event 136 00:06:13,810 --> 00:06:10,220 ripple through the universe so what's a 137 00:06:16,630 --> 00:06:13,820 neutron star neutron stars are formed 138 00:06:19,060 --> 00:06:16,640 when an aging mid-sized star about four 139 00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:19,070 to eight times bigger than our Sun goes 140 00:06:24,580 --> 00:06:22,430 supernova that is as the Stars outer 141 00:06:27,370 --> 00:06:24,590 layers are blown off the remnants 142 00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:27,380 collapse in on themselves forming a 143 00:06:32,770 --> 00:06:30,560 small compacted core so dense that a 144 00:06:36,370 --> 00:06:32,780 single teaspoon of matter would weigh a 145 00:06:38,620 --> 00:06:36,380 billion tons the neutron stars that 146 00:06:41,170 --> 00:06:38,630 collided to create the killer nova 147 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:41,180 observed by astronomers were small 148 00:06:46,450 --> 00:06:44,090 not to fit inside the beltway but each 149 00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:46,460 contained as much matter as the Sun 150 00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:49,460 here's a quote from Andy Howell he's an 151 00:06:53,890 --> 00:06:51,440 astronomer at the california-based Las 152 00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:53,900 Cumbres Observatory and professor at 153 00:06:58,990 --> 00:06:55,840 University of California Santa Barbara 154 00:07:01,930 --> 00:06:59,000 quote it's the most tightly bound 155 00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:01,940 something can be and exist in our 156 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:05,150 universe and quotes the intense gravity 157 00:07:09,969 --> 00:07:07,850 of a neutron star crushes its atoms 158 00:07:12,490 --> 00:07:09,979 compacting protons and electrons 159 00:07:15,580 --> 00:07:12,500 together until they combine to make 160 00:07:19,870 --> 00:07:15,590 neutrons subatomic particles with no 161 00:07:22,810 --> 00:07:19,880 charge at all so what happens during a 162 00:07:25,689 --> 00:07:22,820 kill Innova said Michael Siegel quote 163 00:07:29,140 --> 00:07:25,699 Nova is an ancient word it basically 164 00:07:30,969 --> 00:07:29,150 means new star and quotes Michael Siegel 165 00:07:33,659 --> 00:07:30,979 should know he's a Penn State University 166 00:07:36,129 --> 00:07:33,669 astronomer who leads the ultraviolet 167 00:07:39,219 --> 00:07:36,139 instrumentation team for NASA's Swift 168 00:07:41,529 --> 00:07:39,229 satellite stargazers of long ago 169 00:07:43,659 --> 00:07:41,539 observed new points of light in the 170 00:07:47,050 --> 00:07:43,669 night sky and assumed they'd witnessed 171 00:07:48,610 --> 00:07:47,060 the birth of infant stars but Nova 172 00:07:51,129 --> 00:07:48,620 that's a misnomer 173 00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:51,139 these Nova's weren't completely new 174 00:07:56,649 --> 00:07:53,840 objects rather they were existing Suns 175 00:07:59,920 --> 00:07:56,659 that flared up and spat out bright light 176 00:08:02,290 --> 00:07:59,930 before dying down scientists first 177 00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:02,300 coined that term Killa Nova about a 178 00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:04,639 decade ago when they calculated that 179 00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:06,889 there should be events roughly 1,000 180 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:09,199 times brighter than that garden-variety 181 00:08:15,219 --> 00:08:11,810 cosmic Nova they're also sometimes 182 00:08:17,740 --> 00:08:15,229 called macro nova a term in Howells 183 00:08:20,290 --> 00:08:17,750 estimation that sounds quote stupid end 184 00:08:22,510 --> 00:08:20,300 quotes he says quote we're so early we 185 00:08:26,140 --> 00:08:22,520 don't have the terminology sorted out 186 00:08:28,390 --> 00:08:26,150 and quotes this Killa Nova lived up to 187 00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:28,400 its thousand times stronger namesake 188 00:08:33,219 --> 00:08:31,520 quote that was very satisfying said 189 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:33,229 Columbia University theoretical 190 00:08:37,449 --> 00:08:35,810 astrophysicist Brian D Metzger whose 191 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:37,459 work involves predicting the 192 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:39,770 electromagnetic counterparts to 193 00:08:45,069 --> 00:08:42,770 gravitational waves neutron star 194 00:08:47,410 --> 00:08:45,079 collisions shoot Jets of radioactive 195 00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:47,420 matter into space they're expelled the 196 00:08:52,090 --> 00:08:49,640 guts beam out in a line 197 00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:52,100 Metzger said it was almost like smashing 198 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:54,500 your palm on a full tube 199 00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:56,930 toothpaste a tube with holes at both 200 00:09:03,340 --> 00:09:00,080 ends he said quote a lot of matter will 201 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:03,350 come flying out end quotes these are 202 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:04,850 materials that the universe does not 203 00:09:11,490 --> 00:09:08,090 otherwise generate in bulk the neutron 204 00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:11,500 star merger turned out the equivalent of 205 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:15,440 10,000 earth masses in gold and tens of 206 00:09:21,550 --> 00:09:19,130 thousand masses in uranium the focus is 207 00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:21,560 on the Cataclysm that occurred in galaxy 208 00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:26,240 NGC for 993 it suggests neutron star 209 00:09:30,850 --> 00:09:28,460 mergers are the dominant process by 210 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:30,860 which the universe creates gold platinum 211 00:09:35,410 --> 00:09:33,530 and other elements said Metzker quote 212 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:35,420 that's been a mystery for something like 213 00:09:40,540 --> 00:09:38,330 60 years and quotes these stars were 214 00:09:43,630 --> 00:09:40,550 probably twin stars in a binary system 215 00:09:46,090 --> 00:09:43,640 one after the other they became dead 216 00:09:48,610 --> 00:09:46,100 husks they circled each other 217 00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:48,620 shaking off gravitational waves which in 218 00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:51,500 turn pulled them closer together imagine 219 00:09:56,590 --> 00:09:54,230 two large marbles rolling toward the 220 00:10:00,130 --> 00:09:56,600 bottom of a funnel until they meet with 221 00:10:02,020 --> 00:10:00,140 a catastrophic whack there's lots more 222 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:02,030 to this article gentle listeners it gets 223 00:10:07,210 --> 00:10:04,730 rather involved rather technical you can 224 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:07,220 find a link to it later at UFO headline 225 00:10:13,060 --> 00:10:10,610 news calm but we'll close with this the 226 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:13,070 question why were so many scientists 227 00:10:18,820 --> 00:10:16,370 involved something like 3500 names are 228 00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:18,830 on the author list of the biggest paper 229 00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:20,800 to come out about this observation 230 00:10:25,660 --> 00:10:23,570 according to scientist Dave shoemaker 231 00:10:28,270 --> 00:10:25,670 out of the Massachusetts Institute of 232 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:28,280 Technology a spokesman for the LIGO 233 00:10:32,650 --> 00:10:30,050 scientific collaboration 234 00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:32,660 he said merging these two communities 235 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:34,910 the physicists used two large 236 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:37,610 collaborations with the astronomers some 237 00:10:43,090 --> 00:10:40,730 of whom weren't wasn't always easy in 238 00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:43,100 fact he said if he had done anything 239 00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:45,440 differently two months ago when the 240 00:10:50,380 --> 00:10:47,360 researchers realized they had a neutron 241 00:10:52,770 --> 00:10:50,390 star collision on their hands quote it 242 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:52,780 would have been to read about the 243 00:10:58,450 --> 00:10:55,730 sociology of astronomy before making any 244 00:11:00,220 --> 00:10:58,460 decision to put papers together that 245 00:11:04,810 --> 00:11:00,230 would have saved a lot of stir mooned 246 00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:04,820 drung and quotes trending now one might 247 00:11:08,269 --> 00:11:07,760 say it seems to be drone week here's a 248 00:11:12,530 --> 00:11:08,279 headline 249 00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:12,540 CNN gets first-of-a-kind waiver to fly 250 00:11:18,319 --> 00:11:16,019 drones over crowds this gets a byline 251 00:11:22,249 --> 00:11:18,329 for Daryl Ethington who writes for 252 00:11:24,259 --> 00:11:22,259 TechCrunch CNN has won an interesting 253 00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:24,269 waiver regarding its commercial drone 254 00:11:30,530 --> 00:11:27,990 operating license with the FAA they got 255 00:11:34,189 --> 00:11:30,540 an exemption that allows it to fly its 256 00:11:36,980 --> 00:11:34,199 vantage robotics snap drone over open 257 00:11:41,389 --> 00:11:36,990 air crowds of people at altitudes of up 258 00:11:43,579 --> 00:11:41,399 to 150 feet this is a new precedent of 259 00:11:45,650 --> 00:11:43,589 this kind of waiver previous exemptions 260 00:11:48,139 --> 00:11:45,660 allowed flights of drones over people 261 00:11:50,629 --> 00:11:48,149 enclosed set operations such as 262 00:11:53,269 --> 00:11:50,639 filmmaking purposes and only when 263 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:53,279 tethered with a maximum height of 21 264 00:11:58,819 --> 00:11:56,490 feet the new waiver granted to CNN has 265 00:12:01,790 --> 00:11:58,829 secured through its legal counsel Hogan 266 00:12:04,460 --> 00:12:01,800 Lovells allows for flight of this 267 00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:04,470 vantage UAV which is quite small and 268 00:12:10,579 --> 00:12:07,529 light above crowds regardless of 269 00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:10,589 population density this was a big win 270 00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:13,230 for the firm and the company because it 271 00:12:18,290 --> 00:12:15,360 represents a change in perspective on 272 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:18,300 the issue for the FAA which previously 273 00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:20,370 viewed all requests for exemptions from 274 00:12:27,079 --> 00:12:23,040 a quote worst case scenario and quotes 275 00:12:29,889 --> 00:12:27,089 point of view now however the FAA has 276 00:12:33,049 --> 00:12:29,899 accepted cnn's quote reasonableness 277 00:12:35,090 --> 00:12:33,059 approach end quotes that takes into 278 00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:35,100 account not just the potential results 279 00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:37,680 of a crashed drone but also the safe 280 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:39,870 operating history of the company doing 281 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:41,970 the flying their built-in safety 282 00:12:46,699 --> 00:12:44,490 procedures and the features included on 283 00:12:48,829 --> 00:12:46,709 the drone model itself that are designed 284 00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:48,839 to mitigate the results of any negative 285 00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:52,110 issues this could definitely be a boon 286 00:12:56,869 --> 00:12:54,720 to news gathering since a drones eye 287 00:12:59,329 --> 00:12:56,879 view of protests demonstrations and 288 00:13:02,150 --> 00:12:59,339 other large groups would indeed aid in 289 00:13:03,949 --> 00:13:02,160 telling the story and drone use means 290 00:13:06,980 --> 00:13:03,959 not having to locate and fly a 291 00:13:09,439 --> 00:13:06,990 helicopter whenever that's desired yup 292 00:13:13,069 --> 00:13:09,449 sounds a lot more expedient now pilots 293 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:13,079 to notify no fuelling etc we'll wait and 294 00:13:19,189 --> 00:13:16,170 see how this works out but we don't have 295 00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:19,199 to wait for UFO sightings and here they 296 00:13:25,079 --> 00:13:22,089 come from UFO stalker calm 297 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:25,089 a UFO sighting in an undisclosed City in 298 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:26,170 Florida 299 00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:28,569 MUFON gave this sighting a case number 300 00:13:35,189 --> 00:13:32,110 eight seven three four seven the date of 301 00:13:38,790 --> 00:13:35,199 this sighting is October 13 2017 it was 302 00:13:40,999 --> 00:13:38,800 reported October 15th by summary here's 303 00:13:42,179 --> 00:13:41,009 what we find from our witness 304 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:42,189 donut-shaped 305 00:13:49,249 --> 00:13:45,850 Matt green glowing lights seemed like 306 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:49,259 engines perfect sighting of the hull 307 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:53,170 left awestruck the viewing distance here 308 00:14:00,389 --> 00:13:57,490 is rather close 101 to 500 feet the 309 00:14:03,179 --> 00:14:00,399 altitude was treetop level 500 feet or 310 00:14:05,369 --> 00:14:03,189 less the sighting duration was 15 311 00:14:07,949 --> 00:14:05,379 seconds but in spite of that short 312 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:07,959 bursts of sighting the object features 313 00:14:13,650 --> 00:14:10,410 are described as patterned surface and 314 00:14:16,019 --> 00:14:13,660 louvers the flight path is described as 315 00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:16,029 hovering and then path and then 316 00:14:21,139 --> 00:14:19,209 ultimately other and this object is said 317 00:14:23,790 --> 00:14:21,149 to have been shaped like a diamond 318 00:14:26,340 --> 00:14:23,800 wherever this was in Florida this 319 00:14:28,110 --> 00:14:26,350 undisclosed location the maximum 320 00:14:31,079 --> 00:14:28,120 temperature at the time of this event 321 00:14:34,319 --> 00:14:31,089 was 84 degrees Fahrenheit 29 degrees 322 00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:34,329 Celsius minimum temperature 73 degrees 323 00:14:39,929 --> 00:14:37,360 Fahrenheit 23 degrees Celsius the 324 00:14:42,389 --> 00:14:39,939 maximum visibility was 10 miles 16 325 00:14:44,939 --> 00:14:42,399 kilometers pretty standard are the same 326 00:14:47,429 --> 00:14:44,949 for the mean visibility the minimum 327 00:14:50,369 --> 00:14:47,439 isn't even listed because the conditions 328 00:14:52,499 --> 00:14:50,379 indicate it was raining here's the 329 00:14:57,179 --> 00:14:52,509 account first-person words of our 330 00:14:59,519 --> 00:14:57,189 witness first let me say Wow never been 331 00:15:02,970 --> 00:14:59,529 in such awe in my life at this 332 00:15:06,829 --> 00:15:02,980 engineering marvel I went outside at 333 00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:06,839 3:48 a.m. I saw as clear as day a 334 00:15:12,509 --> 00:15:09,279 diamond-shaped object with a blunted 335 00:15:15,269 --> 00:15:12,519 rear it was a large cylindrical shaped 336 00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:15,279 matte green thing the lights were 337 00:15:20,970 --> 00:15:17,649 similar to doughnut shaped circles 338 00:15:23,519 --> 00:15:20,980 circles that were phosphorescent but did 339 00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:23,529 not emit light pollution outside of the 340 00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:26,110 light itself or within the center of 341 00:15:31,439 --> 00:15:28,809 that light it was not far I would 342 00:15:32,999 --> 00:15:31,449 estimate 500 feet up or whatever the 343 00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:33,009 ceiling height of the cloud cover was 344 00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:35,769 this object was about 200 feet 345 00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:39,910 away it was the size of about six houses 346 00:15:46,220 --> 00:15:43,720 may be as large as 12 in mass I was 347 00:15:49,019 --> 00:15:46,230 awestruck at the magnificence and 348 00:15:51,689 --> 00:15:49,029 engineering that went into this thing I 349 00:15:54,419 --> 00:15:51,699 could see the louver like body on the 350 00:15:58,229 --> 00:15:54,429 craft and the design was similar to 351 00:16:01,049 --> 00:15:58,239 plates set like red clay roof tiles as 352 00:16:04,650 --> 00:16:01,059 if the heat was dispersed by the space 353 00:16:06,569 --> 00:16:04,660 behind each plate there may be sound in 354 00:16:08,369 --> 00:16:06,579 the video I took however my 355 00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:08,379 air-conditioning unit could have caused 356 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:11,920 that I would pass any lie-detector test 357 00:16:18,150 --> 00:16:15,610 on this I am 100% certain of what I saw 358 00:16:21,210 --> 00:16:18,160 I'm going to do my best to have some 359 00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:21,220 image rendered I grew up in Bermuda 360 00:16:26,579 --> 00:16:24,399 I was not open-minded to this I'm now 361 00:16:29,669 --> 00:16:26,589 very interested and I'm setting up 362 00:16:31,710 --> 00:16:29,679 cameras to record any anomalies although 363 00:16:34,650 --> 00:16:31,720 it doesn't accompany this event I do 364 00:16:36,479 --> 00:16:34,660 have video however it may need some 365 00:16:39,479 --> 00:16:36,489 editing to be able to get a clear view 366 00:16:43,530 --> 00:16:39,489 of what I saw I've tried to analyze the 367 00:16:46,049 --> 00:16:43,540 video I found some peculiar issues I was 368 00:16:48,749 --> 00:16:46,059 completely awestruck and after about 10 369 00:16:51,179 --> 00:16:48,759 seconds I was able to look away to open 370 00:16:53,999 --> 00:16:51,189 the camera on my phone the light from 371 00:16:57,359 --> 00:16:54,009 the screen disrupted my focus I took a 372 00:16:59,879 --> 00:16:57,369 video but that video is all black I took 373 00:17:02,910 --> 00:16:59,889 another one to see why the other video 374 00:17:05,519 --> 00:17:02,920 shows the clouds clearly I don't know 375 00:17:08,730 --> 00:17:05,529 what happened but for a good 10 seconds 376 00:17:11,220 --> 00:17:08,740 I was frozen in awe at the engineering 377 00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:11,230 that went into this object but when I 378 00:17:15,870 --> 00:17:13,209 finally allowed myself to look away and 379 00:17:19,169 --> 00:17:15,880 looked at my phone the light on the 380 00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:19,179 phone messed with my focus our witness 381 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:21,760 closes by saying I need a video expert 382 00:17:26,669 --> 00:17:24,610 oh gentle listeners this is the part 383 00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:26,679 where we remind you that at the end of 384 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:29,440 every UFO stalker calm entry there's a 385 00:17:35,490 --> 00:17:31,690 place that asks did you see it have a 386 00:17:37,470 --> 00:17:35,500 comment or question discuss it below if 387 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:37,480 you want to step forward with your video 388 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:40,330 expertise and help this witness out well 389 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:42,970 that would bestow a favor upon us all 390 00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:46,090 perhaps how about a road trip Florida to 391 00:17:51,549 --> 00:17:48,830 Texas we can do that the city of 392 00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:51,559 Lufkin specifically it's MUFON Case 393 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:54,950 number 87 3-3 to the date of this 394 00:18:01,930 --> 00:17:58,010 sighting is October 12th 2017 it was 395 00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:01,940 reported October 14th 2017 here's the 396 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:04,760 summary very different than normal 397 00:18:11,289 --> 00:18:08,090 colored big bright lights that projected 398 00:18:14,350 --> 00:18:11,299 beams it's the image in the left photo 399 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:14,360 that scares me and there are photos 400 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:16,610 submitted with this account yep 401 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:19,490 spooky stuff if you feel like getting 402 00:18:24,730 --> 00:18:22,010 spookified later you can head on over to 403 00:18:27,220 --> 00:18:24,740 UFO headline news comm and see these 404 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:27,230 shots for yourselves the sighting 405 00:18:31,810 --> 00:18:29,090 specifics list an unknown viewing 406 00:18:33,879 --> 00:18:31,820 distance an unknown altitude the 407 00:18:36,519 --> 00:18:33,889 sighting duration was 13 seconds long 408 00:18:39,399 --> 00:18:36,529 and the features of the object are 409 00:18:42,610 --> 00:18:39,409 described as dome pattern surface other 410 00:18:45,159 --> 00:18:42,620 and unknown the object's flight path 411 00:18:47,409 --> 00:18:45,169 apparently was stationary and according 412 00:18:50,259 --> 00:18:47,419 to the witness the object shape just 413 00:18:52,750 --> 00:18:50,269 doesn't apply meteor logically speaking 414 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:52,760 the maximum temperature in Lufkin Texas 415 00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:55,850 was 86 degrees Fahrenheit 30 degrees 416 00:19:02,379 --> 00:18:58,610 Celsius minimum temperature 59 degrees 417 00:19:05,529 --> 00:19:02,389 Fahrenheit 15 degrees Celsius our trio 418 00:19:08,529 --> 00:19:05,539 of visibility factors maximum mean and 419 00:19:10,389 --> 00:19:08,539 minimum were the standard 10 miles 16 420 00:19:14,139 --> 00:19:10,399 kilometers and there was nothing 421 00:19:16,539 --> 00:19:14,149 abnormal weather-wise our witness states 422 00:19:19,659 --> 00:19:16,549 I was wide awake for some strange reason 423 00:19:23,409 --> 00:19:19,669 that night and something just said go 424 00:19:26,830 --> 00:19:23,419 outside as soon as I went outside it 425 00:19:28,889 --> 00:19:26,840 felt like the energy from some big 426 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:28,899 glowing light grabbed my attention 427 00:19:35,049 --> 00:19:32,210 instantly at first I thought this was 428 00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:35,059 the moon until I realized the moon was 429 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:38,510 on the other side of the sky at first 430 00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:41,330 this big light just glowed very very 431 00:19:47,590 --> 00:19:45,289 bright and then beams of light glowed 432 00:19:50,980 --> 00:19:47,600 out of each side of the bigger lights 433 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:50,990 there was something very shiny way 434 00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:53,210 bigger than a star between these two 435 00:19:59,500 --> 00:19:56,240 bright lights it's at still not glowing 436 00:20:02,350 --> 00:19:59,510 not twinkling nothing just a kind of 437 00:20:05,620 --> 00:20:02,360 oblong light it's the in 438 00:20:08,139 --> 00:20:05,630 in the left photograph I submitted this 439 00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:08,149 is the part that really terrified me I 440 00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:11,679 could not see that figure with my eyes I 441 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:14,720 actually accidentally caught it as I was 442 00:20:20,350 --> 00:20:17,690 recording the lights it was very scary I 443 00:20:24,370 --> 00:20:20,360 used different lighting to bring it out 444 00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:24,380 and it definitely looks like a UFO when 445 00:20:29,590 --> 00:20:26,809 the lights left it looked like someone 446 00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:29,600 just turned off a light switch they 447 00:20:38,409 --> 00:20:33,200 didn't fly away drop away they just went 448 00:20:41,470 --> 00:20:38,419 off off like a switch we can't help but 449 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:41,480 wonder if that's a cloaking device so 450 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:44,450 often reported our sighting report 451 00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:46,490 trajectory now takes us to Northern 452 00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:48,769 California the city of Hayward in the 453 00:20:53,470 --> 00:20:51,710 Bay Area this is the setting for MUFON 454 00:20:55,870 --> 00:20:53,480 sighting number eight seven three four 455 00:20:59,549 --> 00:20:55,880 six this sighting took place October 456 00:21:03,129 --> 00:20:59,559 14th 2017 and got a next day report 457 00:21:06,009 --> 00:21:03,139 here's the summary very bright light 458 00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:06,019 traveling slowly from north northeast to 459 00:21:11,350 --> 00:21:08,779 south southeast under the categories 460 00:21:13,779 --> 00:21:11,360 that includes sighting specifics we find 461 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:13,789 a viewing distance listed as unknown by 462 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:16,010 our witness the altitude likewise 463 00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:19,010 unknown the sighting duration was six 464 00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:21,769 minutes the object features well they're 465 00:21:26,830 --> 00:21:24,529 unknown as well the flight path however 466 00:21:29,889 --> 00:21:26,840 was a path that included directional 467 00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:29,899 change and the object shaped you guessed 468 00:21:37,690 --> 00:21:33,049 it unknown our reporting witness writes 469 00:21:39,879 --> 00:21:37,700 this in parts 1 and part 2 part 1 my 470 00:21:42,759 --> 00:21:39,889 wife Kim and I were sitting on our rear 471 00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:42,769 deck the object appeared over the trees 472 00:21:48,490 --> 00:21:45,679 from north-northeast it appeared to be 473 00:21:51,370 --> 00:21:48,500 about the size of an aspirin tablet held 474 00:21:53,620 --> 00:21:51,380 at arm's length it was very bright much 475 00:21:56,860 --> 00:21:53,630 brighter than the background stars and 476 00:21:59,740 --> 00:21:56,870 this object did not display any normal 477 00:22:02,230 --> 00:21:59,750 aircraft marker lights of any kind which 478 00:22:05,740 --> 00:22:02,240 is what really caught our attention also 479 00:22:07,810 --> 00:22:05,750 there was no sound whatsoever the speed 480 00:22:10,450 --> 00:22:07,820 of this object seemed slow we would 481 00:22:12,669 --> 00:22:10,460 guess 100 miles per hour slower than 482 00:22:15,190 --> 00:22:12,679 light aircraft in and out of Hayward 483 00:22:16,029 --> 00:22:15,200 Airport both Kim and I got our 484 00:22:18,789 --> 00:22:16,039 binoculars 485 00:22:20,919 --> 00:22:18,799 and continued to observe the object 486 00:22:23,919 --> 00:22:20,929 appeared to be on a course of 100 487 00:22:26,859 --> 00:22:23,929 degrees shortly after the object passed 488 00:22:29,529 --> 00:22:26,869 overhead it appeared to make a mild turn 489 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:29,539 to a new heading of approximately 80 490 00:22:34,029 --> 00:22:32,330 degrees the object continued on this 491 00:22:37,659 --> 00:22:34,039 heading for another one or two minutes 492 00:22:40,749 --> 00:22:37,669 and then it appeared to turn off its 493 00:22:43,539 --> 00:22:40,759 light the bright search light was 494 00:22:47,349 --> 00:22:43,549 extinguished consequently and a smaller 495 00:22:49,330 --> 00:22:47,359 reddish dot was visible at this time we 496 00:22:52,299 --> 00:22:49,340 guessed the object's distance at three 497 00:22:57,789 --> 00:22:52,309 to five miles the object continued until 498 00:22:59,769 --> 00:22:57,799 out of sight part two at 8:05 an object 499 00:23:01,869 --> 00:22:59,779 appeared to the west of us traveling 500 00:23:03,570 --> 00:23:01,879 south to north at a distance of 501 00:23:08,109 --> 00:23:03,580 approximately five to ten miles 502 00:23:10,869 --> 00:23:08,119 estimated speed approximately 250 to 350 503 00:23:13,239 --> 00:23:10,879 miles per hour and this object appeared 504 00:23:15,639 --> 00:23:13,249 to have the same characteristics as the 505 00:23:18,549 --> 00:23:15,649 previous object without the searchlight 506 00:23:23,139 --> 00:23:18,559 aspect so we wondered if this was the 507 00:23:26,589 --> 00:23:23,149 same object question is there any agency 508 00:23:28,919 --> 00:23:26,599 doing a scanning program for mapping for 509 00:23:32,169 --> 00:23:28,929 a geological study for earthquake study 510 00:23:34,479 --> 00:23:32,179 the reason we ask is we have viewed 511 00:23:37,930 --> 00:23:34,489 objects in the past displaying similar 512 00:23:40,389 --> 00:23:37,940 surveying characteristics so just 513 00:23:42,639 --> 00:23:40,399 thought and we find out a very 514 00:23:44,940 --> 00:23:42,649 interesting thought however it does 515 00:23:48,339 --> 00:23:44,950 occur to us that any sort of government 516 00:23:51,099 --> 00:23:48,349 surveying object in the sky airplane 517 00:23:54,810 --> 00:23:51,109 helicopter etc would still be bound to 518 00:23:57,729 --> 00:23:54,820 have those normal aircraft lights so 519 00:24:01,060 --> 00:23:57,739 heading north now we find ourselves over 520 00:24:04,719 --> 00:24:01,070 Hamel Illinois that spelled H AME L 521 00:24:09,099 --> 00:24:04,729 that's where MUFON case number 8 7 3 8 2 522 00:24:11,349 --> 00:24:09,109 happened October 15

viewing distance unknown altitude 532 00:24:41,390 --> 00:24:38,250 unknown the sighting duration was three 533 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:41,400 hours the object features however are 534 00:24:46,940 --> 00:24:44,010 still vexing Lee described as unknown 535 00:24:49,539 --> 00:24:46,950 the flight path was hovering and then 536 00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:49,549 path and then path that at some point 537 00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:52,559 included directional change the 538 00:24:57,650 --> 00:24:54,720 witnesses report this object was shaped 539 00:24:59,750 --> 00:24:57,660 like a boomerang a quick scan
