NASA TV UFOs:
Jaime Maussan & Santiago Yturria Garza Lecture

At the International UFO Congress 2009, 22 - 28 February (Laughlin, Nevada), Mexican UFO researchers Jaime Maussan and Santiago Yturria Garza presented UFO footage recorded by NASA TV during several Space Shuttle missions.

Santiago Yturria Garza has recorded hundreds of hours of NASA TV footage.

It’s obvious that these unknown objects, which were filmed by NASA’s own cameras, aren’t Space debris, since Space debris is neither self-luminous nor manoeuvring:

The videos of the approaching (towards the Space Shuttle) and retreating UFOs has to be footage of unknown objects, which fly under some sort of control.

I previously posted a report regarding this lecture on 29 March 2009.

TV Interview:
The Mike Wallace Interview (ABC):
Major Donald E. Keyhoe, 8 March 1958

Major Donald E. Keyhoe was one of the founding members of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) and later he became director of the private UFO organisation. The late Donald E. Keyhoe was a former Marine Air Corps Major. And at one time he had a close working relationship with the great aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh.

In this ABC interview by TV reporter Mike Wallace, Major Keyhoe gives as good as he gets:

http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/multimedia/video/2008/wallace/keyhoe_donald.html

Notice how Mike Wallace avoids any mention of the highly credible U.S. Military UFO witnesses and/or the UFO films (both U.S. Military and private) which had been found to be real (meaning: no hoax and no one could identify the filmed object(s)).

UFO Documentary Film Excerpt:
Dr. J. Allen Hynek Recounts His Meeting
with the “Robertson Panel”, 1974

After a massive UFO sighting wave in 1952 over Washington, D.C. and elsewhere in the U.S., the CIA commissioned a committee (The Robertson Panel, 1953) to study the UFO phenomenon and to discuss what actions the U.S. government should take regarding the situation.

Dr. J. Allen Hynek was an Associate Member of “The Robertson Panel.”

In this segment from the UFO documentary, “UFOs: It has Begun”, we can see two of the UFO films that the “Robertson Panel” studied. The UFO films can be seen 1:45 (the Great Falls, Montana film by Nicholas Mariana) and 1:56 minutes (the Tremonton, Utah film by U.S. Navy photographer Delbert C. Newhouse) into the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHftjb6i62M

As mentioned earlier on this blog, Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Astronomer) was a scientific adviser to UFO studies undertaken by the U.S. Air Force. It’s therefore very interesting to hear what Hynek thought about “Robertson Panel” proceedings.

UFO Documentary Film (1995) Segment:

UFO Sighted by Police Officer, West of Stord, Norway,

25 July 1995, 11:00 p.m.
(TV 2, Bergen, Norway)

Egil Espeland is a Stord (island) police officer. It was during a fishing trip west of Stord that Espeland and his brother-in-law sighted the UFO.

Statement by Egil Espeland: “The elliptical shaped UFO was black-grey in colour. The UFO flew in a descending path – while it flipped two times from side to side. The UFO then levelled off at the same moment it started to accelerate and flew away in a horizontal path. The sighting lasted 3 seconds.”

The UFO was circa 40 metres long; and according to Espeland, he had never seen anything like it before.

The TV 2 report contains a drawing of the UFO made by Egil Espeland.

The Stord UFO report starts at 5:32:

Stord is situated 28 kilometres (17 miles) north east of Espevær. Espevær (island) is famous for its UFO ring.

The Hessdalen (Norway) UFO phenomenon:
A team of physicists determined some time ago that the Hessdalen UFO phenomenon (the report starts 3:08 minutes into the video) is a natural phenomenon. Clouds of dust from the valley floor which contain scandium are the source of the atmospheric light phenomenon.

TV 2 (Norway) UFO Report (1995): The Espevær, Norway, UFO Landing Trace Case,
Early October 1975, Night-time

I posted a report regarding this UFO case on 14 January 2009.

A TV 2 UFO report (“UFO also in Norway?”, 1995) has now surfaced on YouTube.

The Espevaer UFO report starts 7:04 minutes into the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed6Mww-oqmY
(Source: serpentineufo (YouTube channel))

It was early in October 1975 that crews on several ships (all of them logged the UFO sighting in the ship's log) observed a UFO near Espevær (island). The UFO-ring was discovered on 7 October 1975. The UFO landing site is the only flat area on Espevær where an aircraft could have landed.

Alf Opdal (the interviewee) commented: “Those who investigated the UFO landing trace (The Royal Norwegian Air Force) said that the object must have had an enormous weight. They tried to make an imprint with one of the Air Force’s largest helicopters (see the photograph in the newspaper article), but it didn’t leave an imprint at all.”

Bergens Tidende (Bergen) had a front page article regarding this case (8:57 minutes into the video) with the headline, “Espevær’s enigma unsolved”. The sub-headline reads: “The Air Force could not explain the imprint.”

The photograph in the article showed the Air Force investigators who conducted an on-site investigation of the site.

NASA TV UFOs: The Space Shuttle Filmed Manoeuvring UFOs near the Russian Space Station Mir, Late May 1997

Voyager is a TV report series. It’s produced by RAI, the Italian state broadcasting company. This TV series has presented several UFO TV reports.

The below TV report presents UFO footage that was filmed during the NASA STS-84 Space Shuttle Atlantis mission:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfD-X23ue3Y

Space debris doesn’t change its flight course. So the filmed objects are unknown and they manoeuvre in Space.

And it’s easy to see that NASA is very interested in the unknown objects, since they follow them and zoom in with the camera.

2:45 minutes into the video one can see an object (that apparently checks out Mir) which turns left, stops and then flies to the right (and accelerates).

This is the best Space footage of manoeuvring UFOs I’ve seen.

The NASA STS-84 Space Shuttle mission:

Launch date: 15 May 1997 -
Landing date: 24 May 1997.

The U.S. Air Force RB-47 Stratojet UFO Encounter,
Gulf Coast Area, USA, 17 July 1957, Early Morning

A U.S. Air Force Boeing RB-47 reconnaissance Stratojet, equipped with electronic countermeasures (ECM) instruments and manned by six officers, was followed by an unidentified object for a distance of well over 700 miles and for a time period of more than one hour, as it flew from Mississippi, through Louisiana and Texas and into Oklahoma.

The RB-47 crew was one of the top crews in the Wing, according to Lieutenant Colonel Bruce Bailey, U.S. Air Force (Ret.).

Lt. Col. Bruce Bailey also relates his own UFO encounter that was similar to the RB-47 crew’s encounter.

U.S. Civil Defense Agency Performed Radiation Testing
of UFO Witness, Castle Rock, Colorado, January 1968

MUFON’s journal is an excellent source for those who search for UFO evidence unearthed or recorded by world media and government sources.

Skylook article, April 1968, Page 2:

http://www.theblackvault.com/encyclopedia/documents/MUFON/Journals/1968/April_1968.pdf

“FLYING BUBBLE IN COLORADO

Howard Ellis, businessman, 42, first saw the bubble hovering about 50 feet above him. It had a dozen lights ‘the color of car headlights that had mud on them’ shining down on him. The bubble seemed to be transparent and silent.

Others watched the object as it hovered over the Douglas County courthouse and then it shot straight up and disappeared, shooting out a couple balls of flame.

An Air Force and Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said no aircraft were known to be in the area at the time, and Morris Felming, director of the Douglas County Civil Defense Agency, said his agency would test Ellis’ blood to see if any radiation of unknown or foreign matter was in his bloodstream.”

The Douglas County Civil Defense Agency obviously took the UFO report by Howard Ellis seriously. We have also previously seen in numerous instances involving government agencies in the U.S. and other countries, and their response to UFO incidents, that they take the UFO issue seriously.

And, for obvious reasons (or reason), it’s always interesting to note when a businessman reports a UFO sighting.

NASA TV UFOs: Close-up Footage of UFO

I posted a report regarding this Space Shuttle Discovery (unknown mission) landing on 26 February 2009.

At the International UFO Congress 2009 (Laughlin, Nevada), Mexican UFO researchers Jaime Maussan and Santiago Yturria Garza presented a longer video of this Space Shuttle landing at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida.

This remarkable UFO footage shows that the unknown object descends and moves to the left. In addition, they zoomed in on the UFO.

The UK MoD Explained Away ITV UFO Footage,
October 1971

In late October 1971 an ITV TV crew was recording footage for a farming report, and by chance, they managed to record footage of a UFO:

The daytime UFO film was recorded near Enstone, UK.

I posted a report regarding this ITV UFO footage on 17 August 2008.

When I read through the March 1972 issue of Skylook (MUFON), I found a short report that told us that the UK Ministry of Defence was of the opinion that this footage showed Space debris.

Space debris?!!!

The unknown object hovered for a while, before taking off at an unbelievable speed!

Apparently, it was important to the MoD to convince the UK public that the footage didn't show an unknown object.

Several Holland police officers also saw the UFOs.

But what is really interesting about this UFO case, is the evidence recorded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). UFO researcher Michael D. Swords, Ph.D. researched the FAA evidence and 911 calls. He commented: “I think this is brilliant evidence.”

9/11 UFOs:
Fast-flying UFO near the WTC Found in Documentary

The Frederick Valentich UFO Encounter/
Disappearance Case, 21 October 1978, 7:09 p.m.

On the above date Frederick Valentich was flying from Moorabbin Airport, Melbourne to King Island, Tasmania.

According to the conversation Frederick Valentich had with the Melbourne Flight Service Unit air traffic control centre, he had encountered a very large UFO at 7:09 p.m.

At 7:12 p.m. Valentich told the air traffic controller, Steve Robey, that his Cessna 182L airplane experienced engine trouble and that the UFO was flying right above him. A short time later the Melbourne air traffic controller heard a metallic, scraping sound.

And no one has seen Frederick Valentich or his airplane since the above date.

The Royal Australian Air Force and Navy performed an extensive search in the area where Valentich was suspected to have crashed, but they didn’t find anything.

This case involves people from several Australian Government departments. The Melbourne Flight Service Unit (air traffic control centre), the Department of Transport (DoT), the Police, the Royal Australian Air Force and Navy were involved in this UFO case:

Harold Brown, U.S. Secretary of Defense
and Dr. J. Allen Hynek Interviewed afterthe 1966 U.S. Public UFO Hearings

This UFO documentary outtake is very interesting. Harold Brown, U.S. Secretary of the Air Force and Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Astronomer) were interviewed after the public UFO Hearings that were held by the U.S. House Armed Services Committee on 5 April 1966(http://www.project1947.com/shg/symposium/shgintro.html).

Both men denied that the U.S. Air Force was hiding UFO secrets from the U.S. public.

First we see how Dr. J. Allen Hynek responded as the U.S. Air Force's scientific adviser on the subject of UFOs, when he was interviewed after the 1966 UFO hearings. Then, in the second Hynek interview (1985), which was conducted many years after Hynek had left his job at the U.S. Air Force, we are told how the inner machinations within the U.S. Air Force worked regarding the UFO phenomenon:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moi8UlyRkUU

In Dr. J. Allen Hynek’s own words:

“I know the job they (the U.S. Air Force) had. They were told not to excite the public. Don’t rock the boat. I saw it with my own eyes how whenever a (UFO) case happened that they could explain, they made a point of that and let that out to the media. Cases that were very difficult to explain, they would jump handsprings to keep the media away from (them). They had a job to do, whether rightfully or wrongly, to keep the public from getting excited.”

Several independent witnesses saw the 3 UFOs from different locations. Judging by the testimony by Laszlo Novak, who filmed the UFOs, it seems that the UFOs were flying in formation and that it wasn’t a triangular shaped UFO he saw:

UFO Documentary Film Segment:
U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker Airplane 
Encounters Large UFO, Alaska, 30 January 1987

Two and a half months after the JAL Flight 1628’s UFOs encounter (the previous post), a similar incident occurred over Alaska. A U.S. Air Force Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker flew inbound from Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska to Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska. At 20,000 feet the airplane crew sighted a very large disk shaped UFO that was similar to the one encountered by the JAL Flight 1628. The UFO moved to within 13 metres (40 feet) of the KC-135.

And as can be determined by the U.S. Air Force Pilot’s question 5:29 minutes into the video, it's apparent that he has been briefed about the JAL Flight 1628’s UFO encounter.

The answer by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) official was also very interesting. He said, “It’s very rare seeing the lights (UFOs) up there”. He thereby admitted that UFOs were seen from time to time, albeit rarely!

And the silly notion that the U.S. government (here the FAA) is not investigating UFO sightings or is not interested in UFOs, can once and for all be ruled out by listening to the message the U.S. Air Force Captain received from the FAA (8:17 minutes into the video). The FAA message to the U.S. Air Force Captain said, “Call the local FAA office in Anchorage after you have landed at Eielson Air Force Base”. Then the Captain asked, “That’s concerning the object we were looking at?” “Affirmative”, answered the Eielson Air Force Base official.

So anyone who wants to define the UFO phenomenon as being a myth must first find plausible explanations for several thousand cases that involve UFO sightings, films and photographs made by highly credible, top government officials from around the world. And then you have the UFO radar data.

Less than 24 hours later (31 January 1987), the Alaska Airlines Flight 53 encountered several very large disk shaped UFOs that trailed them. The UFOs eventually flew away from the airplane, moving about a mile a second!

Wikipedia article: “Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker”:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_KC-135_Stratotanker

Quote from the Wikipedia article:

“The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker is a military aerial refueling aircraft. Both the KC-135 and the Boeing 707 airliner were developed from the Boeing 367-80 prototype. It is the predominant variant of the C-135 Stratolifter family of transport aircraft. The KC-135 was the US Air Force’s first jet-powered refueling tanker and replaced the KC-97 Stratofreighter. The KC-135 was initially tasked with refueling strategic bombers, but was used extensively in the Vietnam War and later conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm to extend the range and endurance of US tactical fighters and bombers.”

The Japan Airlines (JAL) Cargo Jet UFOs Encounter, North East Alaska, 17 November 1986, 5:11 p.m.

JAL Flight 1628 encountered one very large, disk shaped UFO and two small, rectangular shaped UFOs over Alaska, on this flight from Paris to Tokyo. Captain Kenju (or Kenji) Terauchi described the large UFO as being twice as large as an aircraft carrier.

In this case, we see that a U.S. government official again has brought forth solid, official UFO evidence. The man who must be thanked for that is John Callahan, who was then the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Division Chief of the Office of Accident, Investigation and Prevention.

John Callahan also relates (1:27 minutes into the below interview video) that JAL Captain Kenju Terauchi talked to a U.S. Air Force official on an aircraft that also picked up the UFO on radar during the duration of this JAL UFOs encounter. Later in the same video Callahan tells us that the FAA Administrator Admiral Donald D. Engen had set up a briefing and told Callahan to bring all the evidence he had. There Callahan met with three officials from the CIA, three from the FBI and three from President Ronald Reagan’s Scientific Study Team. And all of them were excited, according to Callahan!

Once again, we see that the U.S. Air Force (Military) and the U.S. Intelligence community are involved in a solid, bona fide UFO case.

The UFO incident occurred on 17 November 1986, at 5:19 p.m. (18 November, at 2:19 UTC), according to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) document (files.afu.se).

The U.S. Book, “The Fire Officer’s Guide to Disaster Control” has UFO Chapter

It’s well known that the U.S. Congress, NASA, United States Armed Forces, CIA, FBI, NSA, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Police Departments (including Sheriff’s Departments) have been involved in the UFO phenomenon in the U.S. throughout the years. But in the 1990s it came as a surprise to most people that the United States Fire Administration (USFA) also takes UFOs seriously.

It was two USFA officials, William M. Kramer and Charles W. Bahme who wrote the guide, which was published in 1992.

U.S. Air Force Academy Text Book:
"... the UFO Phenomenon is 50,000 Years Old"

The above statement was found in an official U.S. Air Force Academy text book from the late 1960s:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkiX4rOxsRs

And here are other statements from the text book:

"... may be four different groups of aliens ..." and

"... the UFO problem ..."

Comment by narrator George Knapp regarding the above statements: "The Air Force's own words!"

Proof of U.S. Air Force UFO Investigation, November 1971

Whenever (after December 1969) anyone has asked the U.S.
Air Force if it investigates UFO cases, the person has been
told that the U.S. Air Force stopped investigating UFO cases
after 17 December 1969 as a result of the Condon Report. This
UFO study determined that UFOs offer no credible threat to
U.S. national security and there is no evidence that UFOs
originate from another planet in another solar system.

So, what do we find two years later, in November 1971?

We find that the U.S. Air Force investigates a UFO case!

In the March 1972 edition of Skylook, which was the Midwest UFO Network’s monthly magazine, we learn that the Air Force investigated the Paul Doss UFO sighting/photographs case.

Paul Doss was a MUFON State-Section Director (Indiana). On 9 May 1971 he had visited the Vermillion River Observatory, south of Union Corner, Illinois. While he was there he saw and photographed a huge, cone-shaped UFO that flew right over him.

On 24 November 1971 Paul Doss was interviewed by U.S. Air Force officials at the Chanute Field in Rantoul, Illinois. The UFO photographs were also delivered to the U.S. Air Force officials.

The end of the article says:
“And, as Mr. Andrus (Walter H. Andrus, Jr. was MUFON’s Director) pointed out, in a letter accompanying this report, very significant is the fact that our Government IS still interested in UFOs – and is quietly investigating – despite the Condon Report which apparently was intended to laugh off the whole subject of “flying saucers” and to convince the public of the Government’s total lack of interest and cessation of all investigation.”

The Skylook, March 1972 article on page 6, “Black, Cone-shaped Object is Photographed over Illinois Observatory”:

Here is more evidence of U.S. Air Force UFO interest:

I guess the U.S. Air Force (U.S. military) is still investigating UFO cases!

And I can guarantee that U.S. Air Force officers have seen this TV (BBC World News) UFO footage video:

NASA TV UFOs: 2 UFOs Filmed during
Space Shuttle Landing, Unknown Date

This UFO video comes from a presentation by Jaime Maussan (Mexico):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9BUA9SoZ4k

The UFOs can be seen 5 (large UFO) and 8 (UFO sphere) seconds into the video. At the start of the video one can also see the large UFO in the upper, central part of the screen. If one watches this UFO, one can see that it moves slowly to the left.

10 seconds into the video one can also see a self-luminous UFO sphere that hovers close to a Spacewalking NASA astronaut.

I don’t know what STS mission the above landing footage comes from, but it’s possible that it’s from the STS-112 mission
(7 October – 18 October 2002).

I posted a report about the UFO (2 seconds into the video) that was filmed during that mission on 6 December 2008:

And as said many times before – the Kennedy Space Center area has a rather large no-fly zone (except the fighter jet that accompanies the Space Shuttle) during the Space Shuttle landings.
