The Cincinnati Commercial Newspaper dated October 30, 1865, reports a strange story of a Messenger from the Celestial Regions – A Stone Falls to the Ground with Characters Engraved upon It

Mr. James Lumley, an old Rocky Mountain trapper makes a most remarkable statement, which if authenticated, will produce the greatest excitement in the scientific world. Mr. Lumley states that about the middle of last September, he was engaged in trapping in the mountains, about eighty-five miles above the great falls of the Upper Missouri, and in the neighborhood of what is known as Cadotte Pass. Just after sunset one evening, he beheld a bright, luminous body in the heavens, which was moving with a great rapidity in an easterly direction. It was plainly visible for at least five seconds, when it suddenly separated into particles, resembling, as Mr. Lumley described it, the bursting of a skyrocket in the air. A few minutes later, he heard a heavy explosion, which jarred the earth very perceptibly, and this was shortly after followed by a rumbling sound, like a tornado sweeping through the forest. A strong wind sprang up about the same time, but as suddenly subsided. The air was also filled with a peculiar odor of a sulphurous character.

These incidents would have made but slight impression on the mind of Mr. Lumley, but for the fact that on the ensuing day he discovered, at a distance of about two miles from his camping place, that, as far as he could see in either direction, a path had been cut through the forest, several rods wide – giant trees uprooted or broken off near the ground – the tops of hills shaved off, and the earth plowed up in many places. Great and widespread havoc was every-where visible. Following up this track of desolation, he soon ascertained the cause of it in the shape of an immense stone that had been driven into the side of a mountain. Now comes the most remarkable part of the story. An examination of this stone, or so much of it as was visible, showed that it had been divided into compartments, and that, in various places, it was carved with curious hieroglyphics. More than this, Mr. Lumley also discovered fragments of a substance resembling glass, and here and there dark stains, as though caused by a liquid. He is confident that the hieroglyphics were the work of human hands, and that the stone itself, although but a fragment of an immense body, must have been used for some purpose by animated beings.

Strange as this story appears, Mr. Lumley relates it with so much sincerity that we are forced to accept it as true. It was evident that the stone, which he discovered, was a fragment of the meteor, which was visible in this section in September last. It will be remembered that it was seen in Leavenworth, in Galena, and in this city by Colonel Bonneville. At Leavenworth, it was seen to separate in particles or explode.

LANCASHIRE — The UK Sun News reports the 44th strange sighting since 1977 in an area dubbed “UFO Valley”. And the sleepy pocket of Lancs has now clocked up the highest number of close encounters in the country. The latest sighting in the Bacup and Rossendale area was made by Aron Sacks. The carpenter snapped the mysterious object from his window with a mobile phone. Yesterday he told how it hovered for less than a minute, before silently zooming off at high speed.

Aron, 34, added: “It was amazing – certainly not a normal aircraft. I grabbed my phone, took one photo – then when I looked back it had gone. Aron’s dad Mike, 69, spotting three UFOs near their home in the village of Stackstead.

HONITON — Since there has been a few reports in the Honiton area recently and as I live near by I thought I’d go check out the area. After an hour Ii took some photos up the round ball and caught something unexplainable. There were two discs that I saw briefly with my naked eye zoom across the sky. I’m going to try and get a web cam set up there asap. Thanks to MUFON CMS

MEXICO CITY — That day I was working in the Golf Club de Chapultepec on November 18, 2009. Suddenly I saw in the horizon flying a silver sphere flying over the planes. It came down really close to where I was and looked like liquid metal and it was spinning around and flashing a little bit, and flying right over the Headquarters of the Mexican Military base. I thought it was going to land there. It was pure luck I had my camera that day.

HIDALGO – The local news are presenting the story of a luminous sphere-shape object hitting the ground in the state of Hidalgo in early February 2010.  Apparently there are hundreds of witnesses, some say it was fireball, others say it was an airplane crashing, and some others say it was a meteor. The local authority has no official report on the object but local farmers claim that the army is guarding the impact site. Thanks to MUFON CMS

GULF OF MEXICO — Professor Ana Luisa Cid reports, “According to a report from Alfonso Salazar, a commercial airliner encountered an UFO over the Gulf of Mexico. “The TCAS radar detected it for five  minutes, alerting the airliner’s crew to the presence of unidentified traffic nearby. It followed them and maneuvered above them.”The airliner involved was Magni Flight 774, flying between Mexico City and Cancún, registration number XA-MAI (Boeing 737-300) “There were several reports of encounters between UFOs and airliners in the skies over Mexico during the month of January.”

IDAHO FALLS — He recalls he was flying west with a friend just west of Yellowstone Park in the spring 1959, in his Moonie aircraft.” They were flying at 120 MPH at about 10,000 feet when his friend commented on a formation below them crossing an unidentified lake. After watching the objects for a few moments, they realized the objects were far too big to be birds.

He got his camera out and snapped pictures, one included here. Shortly afterwards, the objects shot upwards and ascended to their altitude in a matter of seconds, circled the plane twice, shot off into the distance and were lost to sight in a few seconds. He said they looked like silvery discs with no insignia or other detail, and estimated their speed at 8-900 MPH. Thanks to MUFON CMS

PUERTO MONTT — Michael Cohen wrote, “A bright cloud over the ocean, captured by a terrified guard with her cell phone, will be among the recent cases of UFO sightings discussed and debated over by Chilean scientists and authorities at Vine del Mar, where there the “UFO Bicentennial: 200 years of sightings” conference will be held. The recording, captured in February 2009 in (1,080 kilometers south of Santiago), shows a possible UFO, and Chilean image analyst, Marcelo Maya, believes it is one of the three most important records in recent times in his country.
UFOs are commonly reported in Chile, and the government has decided to re-establish it’s ‘Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CAFE)’headed by the retired general of the Air Force of Chile Ricardo Bermudez. Thanks to Michael Cohen.

HACIENDA HEIGHTS -- These photos were taken in the San Gabriel mountains. I am not sure what the objects are. Nothing was seen flying around when the photos were taken. In photo 1 the object is near the center top of photo. The enlargement is also displayed. In photo 2. After closer observation it seems the objects are shaped like a triangle.

Note: The photos were taken about one minute apart. The witness edited the photos and created the enlargements. The original unedited photos have been requested. It is interesting that several objects suddenly showed up one minute after the first photo was taken. Perhaps the objects could be balloons or birds, but this cannot be determined from the photo.

CITRUS HEIGHTS — You should contact my husband and my son for all the details of our February 11, 2010 sighting of a cigar shaped UFO. My husband has not reported this sighting because he fears no one would believe him. My son was very excited to see something so unbelievable! I have no idea who you are suppose to call but I feel someone should know what they saw last Friday morning. Thank you, Brandy Legacy

ADDISON — As a relaxing hobby, I enjoy taking pictures of various cloud formations and storms so on January 26, 2010 at 4:54 PM, snapped a few cloud photos. I did not see anything in the sky, all normal. Only later that day, as I reviewed the photos, I found the UFO? object on one of the photos. Editor’s Note: Many newer cameras pick up infrared objects that are not seen with the naked eye. Thanks to MUFON

Infrared UFOs Picked up on Digital Cameras
Kenneth Larson writes, “The recent spate of news in UFO magazines and UFO blogs concerns the various witnesses around the world who aim a regular camera at the clear sky and see nothing but sky.”  But when they use a digital camera that has the infrared spectrum and take a photo of the clear sky and scan the digital camera image they discover or see an unexpected UFO.  Human eyes do not have the infrared spectrum—but many digital cameras do.  In turn, the UFOs seem to operate in the infrared spectrum.  So, UFOs do exist in the sky, but often we cannot see them with our regular eyesight.  Infrared is situated outside the visible spectrum at the red end–or the wavelength between 700 nanometers and 12 millimeter) spectrum.

Editor’s Note: It appears that the heat from the cylinder shaped UFO in Addison, Texas is being captured by the digital camera, while the actual UFO is above it.

Infrared Camera

Thermal imaging cameras capture high definition temperature profiles of objects at distances from a few inches to hundreds of feet. The thermal images rapidly identify defects in electronics and power grids, heat leaks in windows and doors, water leaks and mold problems, and hot spots in machinery. You can make an infrared Filter for most digital cameras. Check to see if your camera is sensitive to infrared light by turning your camera on and pointing it at a TV remote controller. Press the remote controller channel changer and you should see a blinking light in your camera. If you can see a blinking light, all is good. Your camera can pick up infrared signals. Follow the instructions using a dark filter from blackened 35mm film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMpgeFoYbBI

Astronomer’s Carl Sagan and Russian I.S. Shklovskii wrote that it was likely extraterrestrial life came here to spread religion. We are now finding almost every star has a planet system suggesting that within the millions of Galaxies and billions of stars, millions of planets likely have intelligent life. Most of these planets are millions of years older than Earth and likely have ancient beings far in advanced of Earth.
Carl Sagan’s work indicated Mars might have life and the whole universe may be teaming with it. “Sagan discussed the amazing evidence in Sumerian writing claiming that extraterrestrial intelligence came to Earth and provided education to mankind.” The following quotes from “Intelligent Life in the Universe”, page 461 may raise a few eye brows:
“With the numbers we have discussed, it seems possible that the Earth has been visited by various Galactic civilizations many times (possibly 10 10,000 years], during geological time). It is not out of the question that artefacts’ of these visits still exist–although none have been found to date–or even that some kind of base is maintained within the solar system to provide continuity for successive expeditions. Because of weathering and the possibility of detection and interference by the inhabitants of the Earth, it might have appeared preferable not to erect such a base on the Earth’s surface.” If we are in fact being visited, the visitors come for a reason.  Carl Sagan often noted one of the primary reasons to visit and spread life to Earth would be some form of missionary zeal.  Many abductees report a kind of religious awakening after being in contact with the ancient beings.  Others speculate the aliens are here to farm for food, obtain water, refuel, and mine our minerals.
Weekly I receive inquires from many brave people who have come forward to testify that their lives have been changed by visits from extraterrestrials, angels or the ancient ones. Despite this there is an awakening taking place in France, Chile and all over the world, that we are not alone.
DNA Molecules May Be From Space
Francis Crick won the Nobel Prize for helping to discover ‘the structure of DNA,’ the master molecule of life.  He now believes that the ‘origin of life’ was from space.  He and Leslie Orgel of the Salk Institute may have also discovered the ‘origin of all life’ on Earth.’  The two scientists theorize that life came from a distant planet, and was brought here aboard an ancient space ship or meteorite.  Their theory is called “Directed Panspermia” and it may explain how life arose spontaneously on Earth.  The scientist’s point out virtually all-terrestrial life on Earth is based on a single type of genetic code.  If creatures sprang to life in some great “primeval soup,” as many biologists believe, it is surprising that organisms with many different kinds of genetic codes do not exist.  Crick and Orgel feel that a single code seems to be entirely compatible with the theory that all life descended from a single instance of ‘Directed Panspermia.’  It’s likely the building blocks of DNA could have formed in space providing a starter kit of genetic material for life to evolve rapidly on Earth. Ancient beings sometimes called angels appear to have brought life, core values, moral principles to Earth as outlined in the Ten Commandments. If all humans followed these commandments, humanity would create order, live in peace and would be able to join the great civilizations in space.
New DNA Findings Show Human Genetic Mutations Are Recent and Rapid
I spoke with The Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Faye Flam who writes, “Some altered versions of genes are spreading fast, as if they were incurring some advantage to their owners.” The biologists can tell how fast a gene is spreading by how much extra DNA it’s trailing along with it, said Sharon Grossman, a geneticist at Harvard. At first, a new advantageous gene takes a whole stretch of genetic material with it as it passes from parents to children, she said. Over time, the chunks of DNA break apart, and the advantageous genes can pass through the generations less encumbered. The size of the genetic entourage works as a kind of molecular clock. The more recently a change has appeared, the larger the entourage of other genes traveling along with it.
That method has shown that some changes are surprisingly recent, Grossman said. The mutation that gives some people blue eyes appears to have been around only in the last 6,000 years, for example. To help calibrate their clock, she and her colleagues relied on earlier work that had analyzed ancient DNA scraped from bones. The ancient DNA showed that until about 7,000 years ago, nearly everyone was lactose intolerant, and after that several new mutations started spreading through the population that allowed people to better digest the sugars in milk. That enabled the researchers to compare their age estimates based on the amount of tagalong DNA with those derived from dating of the fossils.
In recent years, biologists have found more than 100 other stretches of human genetic code that appear to have changed in the last 30,000 years or so. The bad news is the more recent the genetic change, the more other genes will be attached to it, and the harder it is to distinguish which genes are important for natural selection and which are coming along for the ride. Harvard’s Grossman said she and her colleagues found a statistical method to narrow the search. In a paper published last month in Science, they showed how their method could identify genes that had begun to spread during the last 30,000 years.
For example, they found that in Japanese and Chinese populations, a new version of a gene called protocadherin 15 is on the rise. It appears to All this new evidence from the molecular biology labs could put to test a radical hypothesis proposed by University of Utah anthropologist Henry Harpending. He and physicist Gregory Cochran argue that human evolution has actually accelerated since the widespread advent of farming.
They popularized this idea in their 2009 book, “The 10,000 Year Explosion.”
In an interview, Harpending said one factor driving this explosion is population. From 60,000 years ago to 3,000 years ago, the human population mushroomed from about a quarter of a million to 60 million. More people meant more variety and more new traits, some of which might prove advantageous in some places. Harpending said that soon after our ancestors dispersed from Africa, about 40,000 years ago, they showed a burst of new genetic diversity. There’s no agreed-upon explanation for this, he said, but he offers the radical possibility that our ancestors picked up new genes by mixing with Neanderthals and other archaic people who had already settled in Asia and Europe. The most beneficial genes then spread back into Africa.
If this really happened, he said, the evidence will be embedded in our DNA. One relatively new genetic variant our ancestors acquired about 40,000 years ago involves a gene called FOX2P, Harpending said. It’s a gene thought to be connected to complex speech, since people with a defect in that gene have problems with language, and because chimpanzees and other apes carry a different version. The surprising part of the story, Harpending said, is that DNA sampled from Neanderthal skeletons showed they carried the “modern” version of FOX2P long before our ancestors acquired it. Could our ancestors have picked up such a beneficial gene from these apparent evolutionary losers? Harpending said it’s not as strange as it sounds. Though the popular conception is that Neanderthal man was apelike and primitive, their brains were actually bigger than those of modern humans and there’s still no agreement on why they died out.

In Harpending’s view, the other factor that accelerated evolution was the invention of farming. Suddenly, people had to adapt to different diets, different ways of getting food, and different social structures. Starvation and malnutrition got worse in farming groups, he said, because people could no longer move around and change food sources. Farming groups were dependent on just a few crops that could be wiped out by pests, disease, or drought. Famines would have culled farming populations, favoring those who could survive better on a newly starchy diet, lower in protein and vitamins than the wild foods eaten by hunter-gatherers. Natural selection also might have favored those who could handle wine and beer without becoming alcoholics, he said. Thanks to the Philadelphia Inquirer, February 8, 2010.
The Darwinian theory has shown that there is change within a species, but it has been difficult to find any evidence that the various species slowly evolved from primitive life forms to eventually become Homo sapiens.  There is obviously also the problem of how inanimate objects became alive.  Crick and Orgel who have studied the building blocks of life note that the element molybdenum plays a key role in many enzymatic reactions that are important to life.  Molybdenum is a very rare element on earth and seems unlikely to be part of a system that developed by chance here on Earth.  The human DNA code is amazingly complex, and it appears likely that life developed first on another planet where molybdenum was plentiful.  Molybdenum a lustrous brittle silver white metallic chemical element is used in alloys and points for spark plugs. So even Nobel Prize winners are looking to space for the spark of life. We now know that many of the Nobel Prize winners and men of superior intellect can trace their ancestors back to Abraham.

Ziggurat with US Soldiers in Iraq
Abraham known as the Father of multitudes is believed to be born in Ur in 2161 B.C. (Now modern Iraq) about the time of the erection of the great Ziggurat temple. It was the appearance of the God of Glory to him when he was in Mesopotamia that encouraged him to leave the famous centre of wealth and travel to Canaan now Israel.
Abraham is best known for receiving God’s covenant to make him the father of a great nation, to bless him and to make his name great. He was promised wealth and heirs if he followed by God ‘s instructions. Abraham is again visited by three angels who instruct him in his 99th year to change his name from Abram to Abraham and that he, his son Ismail, and the males in his company are commanded to receive circumcision. He is promised that his wife Sarah who was ninety would become the Mother of Isaac. Later, Isaac’s wife is chosen by God and after Sarah’s death Abraham remarries and has several children when he is 125 years old. The scriptures indicate God’s blessings are carried out to develop a superior nation with God’s blessings. Genesis 12 to 25.
It is interesting to note that Ashkenazi Jews score higher than average on various tests, with estimates ranging from 3 to 12 points above the mean of other whites (non-Jews), whose score is generally normalized to 100. Henry Harpending writes, “We show that humans are changing relatively rapidly on a scale of centuries to millennia, and that these changes are different in different continental groups.”
If we assume Earth has been visited in the distant past by Extraterrestrials, statements in our religious texts that claim messengers reached Earth from Heaven make sense. Genesis states, “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days and also afterward when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old and men of renown.” Ancient texts from many countries claim the ancient visitors or ET came to this planet and created humanity. They instructed man in sciences like astronomy, mathematics, metallurgy, and agriculture. Now the DNA evidence proves many human genetic mutations are recent and rapid. I theorize this is happening as planned and perhaps arranged by our ancient visitors.

SAN BERNARDINO – On January 25, 2010, I arrived at home at 10:45 PM, and noticed a cluster of orange lights at 10:45 PM. The lights were stationary for at least five minutes and then two of the lights that were side by side started moving towards each other as if they were going to collide. As they got to the point of touching they just crossed and dropped down about a half inch in the sky and stayed in place for awhile. I ran inside and told my wife and got my camera and we came out and began to take pictures.

As took the pictures the lights were stationary and slowly faded away. I noticed in the background the white lights and the red flashing tail light lights of an airplane coming south bound towards LA (Los Angeles). It flew underneath the top orange light in the northwest where two lights faded and were east of the airplane. As the plane passed the lights illuminated again; and I took three other pictures and only one object stayed orange as shown. There was one object northwest also the same as the other two.

Note: The photo was taken with a FUJIFILM A850 Digital Camera with a maximum resolution of 8.1 mega-pixels. I am only able to see one orange light in the single photo sent by the witness. Attempts were made to enhance the photo through changing the brightness and contrast to better reveal detail, but only the one orange light shows up. The light has been magnified in the above photo and appears to be the original photo as output from the camera.

RIPON – On January 29, 2010, I was driving north from Modesto through Ripon heading towards Manteca where my Fiancé and I noticed a very bright set of lights hovering over Highway 99, 1/4 of a mile from Ripon High School. We noticed the object spinning slowly as the outside lights glowed off and on. I said “I think it’s a UFO” and as we drove by the object, it was clear that there was nothing holding the lights in the air as it was hovering on its own.

The center light glowed different colors as the outside lights changed from white to orange to red. I then turned around so I could get a photo but by the time we got back, the object was gone. The duration of time of the sighting was around three minutes. I felt very uneasy as I am currently an Air Intelligence Analyst in the United States Air Force. The object was about 600 feet AGL and the size was roughly around 30 yards from point to point. I swear on everything that I have seen the same object in videos as well with the same exact characteristics. I’m baffled! Thanks to Fernando A. Maestas

SAN CARLOS– Saw the weird shape hover overhead on January 13, 2010, that quickly moved over Redwood City and kept the same altitude than quickly disappeared.

Mars Pyramid

Richard Buchli D.V.M. Ph.D. writes, “We have just learned that this pyramid that I found on Mars is the famous DAM pyramid that is a mile and a quarter high. Mr. George J. Haas has dedicated an entire chapter to this pyramid in his new book “Martian Codex”. Any of you that are interested in the things we have been finding on Mars may be very interested in obtaining a copy of this book.”

George J. Haas is founder and premier investigator of The Cydonia Institute, established in 1991. He is a member of the Archaeological Institute of America and the Pre-Columbian Society of the University of Pennsylvania. He became interested in the ‘Face on Mars’ after reading a book on the subject by Randolph Rafael Pezos in 1991.

George Haas and William Saunders investigate Martian archaeological sites and suggest that a technological civilization once lived on Mars and made artistic illustrations of their own great Martians. “The Cydonia Codex” finds renewed proof that we may be a colony of Mars, which is what is needed to further investigate this theory. The book gives insight into human origins and establishes evidence for Martians bringing their technology and art to Earth.

Martian structures show a strong relationship to ancient Mesoamerican and Egyptian cultures and the images from Mars are repeated in the religious and cultural artifacts from those ancient civilizations.

Besides the Olmec-like helmet feature on the right, , the most prominent feature on the left side of the Mars 1998 Face image is the elaborate headdress, which has attracted a lot of attention among concerned researchers.

The evidence of a Mars version of a sphinx and the apparent pyramidal structures in the surrounding area has some researchers, suggesting that this headdress feature may be another Egyptian link. This interpretation is fostered by the “lateral stripes” or “furrows” that run perpendicular to the gradual slope of the base, off the left side of the Face. The combined effect of the headdress and these faint “stripes” that run to the ground in an orderly fashion, have been interpreted by researcher Mike Bara as resembling an Egyptian death mask, much like the one worn by King Tutankhamen. (Left)

The appearance of a second Egyptian motif was also alluded to on the forehead of the Face by Mike Bara on his web site. An outlined object was detected at the center of the headdress that he and other researchers thought looked faintly like a protruding cobra.

Shown are additional images of Mars located at 28 16 S 40 28 E Note straight lines and apparent structures near bottom of crater at left.

Richard Buchli D.V.M. Ph.D. writes, “The blue light source just below the surface is 12 feet long. I was working right down on the surface or I would have missed it.”

The European Space Agency’s orbiting spacecraft has recently detected methane gas in orbit. This gas will float in the air. We know that on Earth organic material generates the majority of methane. Every living person and animals generates methane, too. It is one of the byproducts of life, and keeps products like Beano on the market. What is methane doing in Mars, orbit, a planet without active volcanoes and supposedly no life at all? The logical answer is there is some kind of life on Mars producing the methane. Each year our telescopes reveal that the planet turns green and the poles melt. Yet the images taken from orbit show large areas that appear populated by huge tubes and structures.

Looking at 10,000 images from the Spirit rover for 625 days of exploration has resulted in the discovery of dozens of artificially made objects and life forms. Some are only a few yards from the rover’s camera and show indications of intelligent life of Mars either in the past or today. JPL personnel rumors indicate either we or aliens have bases on Mars. Concerning the subject of intelligent life, the silence is deafening. This image indicates humanoid remains exist on Mars.

This skull like object was filmed by the Mars Spirit Rover.

Gary Prowant writes, “This image looks like at least one tall (square) structure and three smaller structures joined together. Location is at: 28 12 44.14S 40 30 28.73 E Elevation is 560 meters. Thanks Gary Prowant

Australian lakes may hold clues to life on Mars

The research, by microbiologists from Missouri University of Science and Technology are studying organisms found in the salt-water lakes of Western Australia that have an acidic pH because the lakes’ conditions are similar to those found on Mars. Until recently, it was thought that life could not be sustained in acidic lakes. Mormile and her fellow researchers found that prokaryotes, simple organisms that lack a nucleus, were able to handle the unusual conditions. Samples were taken from eleven lakes with a great deal of diversity among bacteria present in each. “As a microbiologist, it seems obvious that wherever there is liquid water, there is usually life present,”
