3-8-12 "PART I: THE MESSAGE." Premieres Tuesday, March 13 at 10PM E/P

"PART II: THE ARRIVAL." Premieres Tuesday, March 20 at 10PM E/P In two dramatic hours, "Alien Encounters" lays out a plausible hypothetical scenario for a first contact event. What would really happen if we got a message from space? How will humans react when we learn a spacecraft is on its way to Earth? Will humans learn from aliens, or become colonial subjects?

Some of the world's leading astrophysicists, astrobiologists, sci-fi writers and and futurists help unravel the scientific, cultural and psychological impact of this world-changing global event.

"Alien Encounters" is made in cooperation with SETI Institute (the highly respected organization devoted to the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), which was founded in the early 1960s by renowned astrophysicist Carl Sagan.

"Alien Encounters" highlights interviews with a host of experts including Carl Sagan's son, Nick, who is now following in his father's footsteps wondering, "How will we meet our galactic neighbors?" Also featured are Jill Tarter, Director of SETI Institute; Frank Drake, renowned astronomer; Seth Shostak, senior astronomer for SETI Institute; Neil Degrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium; and many more of the world's leading science minds.

Picking Up On What Lesley Said

Lesley has said something in her introduction for today about the media. In discussing UFO Magazine's current issue (you can dowload it for free as a PDF) Lesley refers to the cover, which shows a female an a male news anchor.

The female news anchor Nichole is captioned as saying: "When you think of people saying: "Oh, Hey, I saw a UFO,' you kinda think of freaks. I'm not gonna lie to you."

(First of all, Nicole dahling, you're a newscaster. Or so we're supposed to believe. Your sloppy speech patterns really need work. I mean honsestly: "kinda," and "gonna"?)

This is what Lesley said:

Some people think ufologists should impress the media by not seeming so kooky, but when will the media impress me by not seeming kooky and sooooooooo damn lazy?

It's time UFOlogy, instead of constantly complaining about the "sorry state" and whining about not being a part of the infrastructure's party, get aggressive and demand that the media and science step up. They should be coming to our party. Both should get back to what they were trained to do: investigate.

Another Witness Claims Ufo Sighting In Ada County

For at least the second time in three weeks, an Ada County resident reported seeing something unusual in the sky, "moving extremely fast about 600 feet overhead."According to the Mutual UFO Network database, the witness logged his sighting soon after spotting what he called a "large, oval-shaped light" about midnight on July 23."It flew extremely fast right over the top of our neighborhood from north to south," the witness wrote. "It was not manmade, the speed it was traveling was outrageously fast, and it made no sound at all."The witness said his background included serving as a Marine crash fire rescue specialist, and the UFO was unlike any "aircraft that we encountered in the military."Another sighting was reported by a separate Ada County witness on July 4, claiming he saw a "car size, orange, glowing object."Posted By George Prentice On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 At 9:25 AMAnother Witness Claims UFO Sighting in Ada County citydesk

Possible UFO sightingThursday, January 10, 2008 11:16 AM CSTFour area residents witness mysterious object, lights in Selden skyBy ANGELIA JOINER Staff Writerhttp://www.empiretribune.com/article...ews/news02.txtSteve Allen, Mike Odom and Lance Jones were out admiring a beautiful Texas sunset Tuesday evening when they saw something none of them can explain.Allen called it an unidentified flying object. And, because he's been a private pilot for more than 30 years, he has a little more experience judging air speeds and distances than most."We all flipped out," Allen said. "I didn't sleep a wink last night."Allen was at the home of Mike Odom in Selden about 6:15 p.m. when they suddenly noticed flashing lights about "3,500 feet above ground level," he said."The ship wasn't really visible and was totally silent, but the lights spanned about a mile long and a half mile wide," Allen said. "The lights went from corner to corner. It was directly above Highway 67 traveling towards Stephenville at a high rate of speed - about 3,000 miles per hour is what I would estimate."Allen said the lights were not those of a normal aircraft. He said they were more like strobe lights, and while they were all watching, the lights reconfigured themselves from a single horizontal line into two sets of vertical lights."The two sets were approximately one-quarter of a mile apart," Allen said. "Then they turned into dirty burning flames. The flames were not blue. They were white in color. About two seconds later it disappeared completely."Allen said they were all scratching their heads and talking about what it could have been, when approximately 10 minutes later, the object flew overhead again."This time it came from the west traveling east towards Glen Rose," Allen said. "And it was about two or three miles south of 67, and two military jets, possibly F16s, were in pursuit.""I was asking, "Are you guys seeing that?" Allen said.Mike Odom said he didn't have trouble sleeping but it was a "wild experience.""It's unexplainable," Odom said. "It was something not natural; it was moving way too fast."Odom said he saw one other unexplainable object in the sky in 1978 when he was in Arizona."Back then something flew over with lights all around," Odom said. "I think this thing bothered all of us, but it probably bothered Steve more because he's a pilot and he flies a lot.""It was neat," Lance Jones said. "It was something. I've never seen anything like it before but it didn't scare me. I just figured it was military."Odom's wife, Claudette, said she was previously employed as a flight attendant."Lights were going up and down the side," she said. "There was no sound, just the lights. It was moving so fast. It wasn't a plane. I know how planes move. Honestly, I think it was a UFO. It was so fast you couldn't have put your finger on it and move it fast enough to follow it."Allen said he has never seen a UFO until now, but he did suspect there was something to UFO stories all along."I was very surprised to finally get my eyes on one," Allen said. "If anybody else saw this and got pictures I hope they will contact me."Allen said he has already reported the sighting to Washington, and is in the process of writing a report on the event.Allen is the owner of L ">Mysterious sightings keep locals guessingBy ANGELIA JOINER Staff WriterFriday, January 11, 2008 11:30 AM CSThttp://www.empiretribune.com/article...ews/news01.txtA number of area residents have come forward saying they also saw the mysterious lights witnessed by Steve Allen and friends Tuesday night in Selden."It was like nothing I've ever seen before," comes up over and over in their descriptions of bright lights in the sky. Accounts have come in from various locations and a few of those brave enough to come forward are listed below with stories of their own.Major Karl Lewis of Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth (Carswell Field) believes he might be able to solve the mystery in a couple of days.Allen said his phone rang all day Wednesday with people reporting to him that they had seen the strange lights in the sky.David Jaquess"I live 4.6 miles out on Hwy. 67. About 6:15 p.m. I saw something as I was turning in my driveway. I won't say it was a UFO but I will say it was UFL, meaning it was unidentified flying lights. They were real bright yellow and I thought I must be seeing the sun reflecting off a plane. I'm guessing they were five miles away from me. But, they were unusually bright like a welding arc being struck - it was that bright. I don't discount UFOs but I don't necessarily believe in them either. I got a call this morning saying there was story about a UFO in today's paper and it was out where I live. I immediately said, 'Yeah, I saw it.' I was looking west/southwest."Dublin Constable Lee Roy Gaitan"I was outside with my eight-year-old son, Ryan, when I saw lights. It was like nothing I've ever seen before. It was dark already. At first it was two red burning glows that went away and then came back on. I went inside to tell my wife. When I came back out I saw something like lights you'd see in a bar. My little boy and I counted and we came up with nine flashes and they were real spread out. But I couldn't see them attached to anything, just the lights. So I went to my pickup and got my binoculars to see if I could see a plane or something. Even with the binoculars there was no outline. It started moving towards Stephenville and moving so fast I had trouble following it with my binoculars. It covered a big area. It sounds crazy but we really saw what we saw. As a matter of fact I mentioned it to an officer in Stephenville and he called me up and said to get the Stephenville paper because I wasn't going to believe what was in it. I also went to the Dublin paper but they had no other reports on it so I just dropped it. But my little boy went to school the next day and told everybody all about what we'd seen."Anne Frazor"I had just left the nursing home from seeing my husband. I was going down 914 towards Alexander. Just as I got to the hill at Alexander where Hwy. 6 crosses I saw them - the lights. It scared me. I thought two planes were about to collide. The lights were as bright as a school bus ahead of you but up in the air. They were certainly much closer to the ground than I would appreciate them to be. I looked in my mirrors and there were no reflections. Just as I got up to the top of the hill they were gone. It was about 6:40 p.m."James Hughes"I was a navigational specialist in the Air Force and I don't know what it was that I saw while I was walking two friends to their car at my home. But as soon as I saw it I jokingly said to them, 'Hey look - a UFO.' I saw two red lights acting unusual. There were two very bright red lights traveling in formation. By formation I mean they kept their positions respective to each other. They were so intensely bright that I realized they must be at a low altitude. But, there was no noise. The lights were not like a helicopter or a plane. I live near the courthouse, actually two blocks from it, towards the river. I was looking north. It was unusual."All eyes on the skiesBy ANGELIA JOINER Staff WriterSunday, January 13, 2008 4:38 PM CSThttp://www.empiretribune.com/article...ews/news01.txtMysterious lights in the sky and what some believe was an increased military air traffic in the past week has prompted the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) to schedule a meeting for 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, at Erath County Dairy Sales the monthly MUFON UFO Journal addresses all aspects of the subject, and The International UFO Symposium Proceedings offers a yearly in-depth analysis of the UFO subject by world-renowned researchers, according to their Web site. Each is available to MUFON members and the public.Allen said he has received a barrage of phone calls from others witnessing the Tuesday night event as well as reports of military air traffic but also received calls from individuals describing similar accounts. The accounts include a woman that said she saw the same thing in 1967 and worked to solve the mystery with former Sheriff David Hale. But, she said no conclusions were ever drawn.Allen said he has been speaking with a Hillsboro resident who wishes to remain anonymous but is offering a substantial reward for authentic local pictures or videos to assist with validation of the claim. Allen is the owner of L ">UFO witnessed in Cleburne by expertBy ANGELIA JOINER Staff WriterMonday, January 14, 2008 9:47 AM CSThttp://www.empiretribune.com/article...ews/news01.txtJason Greywolf Leigh, an expert on UFOs and a resident of Cleburne, will go on the air tonight at 10 p.m. CDT, for the Canadian station http://xzone-radio.com hosted by Rob McConnell to discuss the sighting so many in the area witnessed the evening of Jan. 8.But the best part is Leigh witnessed the same event from Cleburne in the east-northeast sky and had already started documenting his account before he saw the Empire-Tribune article on Jan. 10."I sent him (McConnell) an email Tuesday night after my sighting, or two days before I was contacted by Councilman Murphy about the sightings there," Leigh said. "It adds more credence to not only that of your people's sighting, but to mine as well!"Leigh is well known for having filmed the June 11, 1995, daytime footage of a UFO over Cleburne. He said it is rated as one of the top 5 films of UFOs in the world and is extremely rare because it occurred in the light of day."My broad daylight footage could not be disputed, as I had first gone in person to the small Cleburne airport and 'looked' at the flight log and times: no planes in the area at the time, then I called the FAA in Fort Worth, tape recording the call, as I spoke to the operations manager who admitted they had booked a 'bogey' in the Cleburne area that 'disappeared' off the screen after 'x' minutes," Leigh said. "He even asked me what it was! After we had talked, I told him that not only was I a freelance journalist, but that I saw/videotaped the UFO and recorded our call."Leigh has appeared on several television shows with the dramatic footage and his eyewitness account including "Unsolved Mysteries," and gives lectures on the subject. He has authored a book on UFO sightings and his uncanny ESP ability titled Power Glide.Leigh said before you can prove a UFO - you must first prove what it is not - so after the Jan. 8 sighting of what appeared to be a "large blue star that zipped off as quick as that," he got busy. And busier still, when he glanced at the north-northeast sky and saw a jet aircraft at above 20,000 feet, "zooming in the direction that the blue star took." Then he noticed another jet as he was peering into the west-southwest sky and it, too, was at least 20,000 feet, as it was leaving a trail, he said.He said the first thing skeptics will say is that what you saw was a star, in particular, Venus."The moon is the size of a quarter with your arm fully extended," Leigh said. "This object would be the size of a dime with arm fully extended which is 60 times larger than any star."But to quiet naysayers, he logged on to starpathways.com and researched Venus. Leigh found on Jan. 8 there was a new moon so that would mean a black sky."Venus would be due west and as evening progresses it sinks below the horizon," Leigh said. "Sunset was at 5:38 p.m. It was after six in the evening so it was dark. It was cloudless, although a brisk wind out of the south. You've got to do your homework with this sort of thing."Many area residents have questioned what appeared to be an increase in military air traffic in the skies and Leigh documented that as well.The next day Jan. 9 at 10:30 a.m. he documented four jets, "leaving 'chem trails' and making zigzagging patterns in the cloudless bright blue sky" and took photos."Until you see something as dramatic as a UFO; you will never be the same again - ever," Leigh said. "I always suggest to those who have seen them for the first time to read a few of my articles, which gives some idea of how to prepare a report and how to go about 'proving' what they saw as opposed to what else 'it' or 'them' could have been."Leigh's web site is http://jasonleigh.org.The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) has scheduled a meeting for 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, at Erath County Dairy Sales & Livestock Commission located on U.S. Highway 377/67 South. The public is invited and field representatives will conduct interviews and complete sighting forms. Leigh said he would be in attendance.

Chile Ufo Caught On Tape Over Santiago Air Base

At the 2012 Large-scale UFO League in Phoenix, Arizona, retired Chilean Complete Ricardo Bermudez discussed the have a spat of a skillful multiple-witness UFO case.

London Ontario A Bright Ringdisc Of Lights Stationary Ufo

Posted: May 8, 2008

Date: May 8, 2008

Time: 9:47 p.m.

Location of Sighting: London Ontario sky, facing North. Object was most likely just north of London's Nor-West corner.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Ring/Disc.

Full Description of event/sighting: While standing outside on my front porch, facing north, waving goodbye to my girlfriend, I noticed a bright ring of lights, stationary in the sky. The sky was clear enough to make out the brightest of stars and the moon through the thin layer of clouds/haze that occupied the sky this evening.

It looked to have a circle of white lights around the perimeter of the bottom of the object. I could not tell if the object was a center-less ring or a disc as the lights seemed to be illuminating the surrounding atmosphere or possibly a illuminating the haze of clouds beneath the ring of lights. The light being emitted from the ring of lights was a soft pure white and was constant with no fluctuations in brightness.

As I stared in confusion at the object that was seemingly floating perfectly still in the sky, trying to identify what it could realistically be, it suddenly shot in a northward direction and was no longer visible (I am unable to see to the horizon from my home due to a number of houses eclipsing that direction).

Shocked and confused at what I had just seen, I placed my hand over my mouth and stepped back before running into the street to attempt to debunk what I thought I had seen.

The entire event took place over the period of only 4 seconds. I have yet to come up with any viable 'real-world' conclusion for what I saw this evening.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.
