UFO Technology Available To All

No, not anti-gravity flight from Roswell but TransModal Synthesis from France…

Audeon have announced the launching of UFO Light, the light version of their flagship product UFO (Unique Filters and Oscillators). As it shares the same synthesis technology and innovative user interface concept as its big brother, Audeon believe that UFO Light is a unique opportunity to get started with TransModal Synthesis for a fraction of the price of UFO.
TransModal Synthesis relies on various synthesis modules including K-Osc, an oscillator model capable of smoothly transitioning between different oscillation modes like harmonic, noisy or chaotic, and Morphilter, a filter allowing continuous transitions between modes (low-pass, high-pass,...). UFO Light offers a subset of the modules available in UFO.
Price and AvailabilityUFO Light is shareware. The registration cost is 19€ ($22 USD).It is currently available as a VST plugin for PC (Windows). A Mac version is planned.
To celebrate the launching of UFO Light, Audeon is offering a temporary discount on its flagship product UFO. Until April 15th, UFO can be purchased for $125 / 109€ instead of the $199 / 175€ regular price.

Russian Researchers Open UFO School for Lovers of Paranormal

Russian ufologists have opened a school where they teach people what to do if they encounter a UFO and where to look for extraterrestrials.
The commotion over UFO sightings in Central Russia’s Togliatti began this summer when crop circles appeared in a field just outside the city. The enormous pictogram in the grass attracted dozens of journalists and hundreds of curious onlookers.
In response to the evident demand, local UFO researchers decided to establish a school where people would learn about the paranormal. Togliatti’s popularity with extraterrestrials makes it an ideal spot for such an institution, a local daily said Thursday.
“We know of several places in Togliatti where UFO sightings are frequent,” chairwoman for the Togliatti Ufology Commission, Tatiana Markova, told the Ploshchad Svobody daily.
“We have studied several of the most popular flying saucer routes. We have often visited the places where UFO’s were sighted and filmed the phenomena we saw, for instance we have lots of video footage featuring the so-called Belgium triangles, they are frequent visitors to our city.”
At the UFO school, experts give students lectures on various types of anomalies, the correct behavior in case of encounter with a UFO, and basic guidelines on UFO-watching. After all the theory is done, the students will go out to practise their skills.
“In late April we will take our students out to see UFOs,” Markova said.
“However we are not going to take crowds of amateurs to UFO sighting spots just to satisfy their curiosity. We expect newcomers to extend our UFO-sightings map,” she added.

New UFO Investigator Extends Realm of Expertise

This month, Lisa A. Shiel completed an in-depth MUFON course to attain certification as an official UFO field investigator. Last week, she launched a formal MUFON investigation by interviewing a Michigan couple about their unexplained aerial sighting over the state's Upper Peninsula. UFO investigation extends Shiel's acknowledged expertise into a new arena.
Lake Linden, Mich. (PRWEB) January 23, 2006 -– Bigfoot expert Lisa A. Shiel has devoted years to researching anomalous creatures, UFOs, and the scientific evidence concerning human origins from the fields of archeology, anthropology, and ancient history. Now, she has completed the Mutual UFO Network, Inc. (MUFON) course of study to earn her certificate as an official MUFON field investigator.

To kick-off a formal MUFON investigation, Shiel recently interviewed an Upper Peninsula couple who observed an unusual, as-yet-unexplained blazing light in the nighttime sky on December 29, 2005.Following years of detailed research into Bigfoot, UFOs, and human origins, Shiel completed the first two volumes in her Human Origins Series of novels – “The Hunt for Bigfoot” (2004) and “Lord of the Dead” (2005) – both published by Slipdown Mountain Publications LLC of Lake Linden, Michigan. She is currently in the final editing stages of a nonfiction book – “Backyard Bigfoot: The True Story of Stick Signs, UFOs, and Sasquatch” – scheduled for publication in March 2006.Shiel’s research and recognition as a Bigfoot expert led to interviews by major metropolitan newspapers and drive-time talk radio shows. Last year, she founded the Michigan Upper Peninsula Bigfoot Organization (MUPBO), the only group dedicated to Bigfoot research in Michigan’s extreme northern peninsula. Surrounded by thousands of acres of dense, sparsely inhabited forests in a remote area of the state, MUPBO’s headquarters is located in quintessential Bigfoot territory.This year, Ms. Shiel extended her expertise into the UFO arena by attaining certification as a MUFON field investigator. The MUFON course included investigation ethics, interview techniques, classification of sightings, common phenomena frequently reported as UFOs, photographic and video analysis, reliability assessments, and investigation tools and techniques.Find out more about Shiel’s MUPBO organization at http://www.upbigfoot.com/ (or email her at e-mail protected from spam bots) and read her entertaining and educational updates on all aspects of Bigfoot, UFOs, human origins, and ancient history on her Strange Origins Blog at Origins.SlipdownMountain.com.

Based in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Slipdown Mountain Publications LLC publishes fine art prints and books on fiction, aviation history and cryptozoology. The company plans to publish two or three new books per year. Books may be purchased via the company’s website (SlipdownMountain.com) or by phoning 906-523-6105 (or 866-686-6706 toll-free).

Was it a UFO or not?

It was 40 years ago this month when Kecksburg became the center of national attention. Forty years ago, some people say a UFO landed in the small Westmoreland County community.
Saturday, hundreds gathered at the Kecksburg Fire Hall to hear of the events which allegedly occurred there and of any new news which was available after years of study.
From a group of local researchers to UFO enthusiasts, people came from as far away as Boston. They heard historical accounts and the current status of information of the event.

Bill Weaver, of Norvelt, was not only at the 40th anniversary event, he was also an eyewitness to the event when it happened Dec. 9, 1965, at the tender age of 19.
"I was driving down the road and heard on the radio that something had happened," Weaver said. "I was in the area and saw people standing along the road, so I stopped and asked what was going on."
That's when Weaver was told that something landed in the patch of woods jut beyond the road.
After traveling down a farm lane, Weaver pulled his car behind a line of cars that formed there.
"From that vantage point I could look down in and see something partially buried that had come in at an angle," Weaver said. It was beginning to get dark, Weaver said. He said the object was emitting a blue light -- almost like the light from a welder's torch.
"In the meantime, a big white furniture moving truck (arrived) and people got out in what we would call moon suits," Weaver said. "They were carrying a box on a stretcher down to the object."
State police and military personnel showed up and sent the observers away.
"They told me they would confiscate my car if I didn't move it," Weaver said. Those few minutes have led to a lifetime of interest for Weaver into the event that causes disagreement between locals and public officials alike as to what really happened. Some are sure that the acorn-shaped object that appeared to have some type of Egyptian hyroglyphics written on it was in fact a UFO, while others take the more explainable path of the object being a Russian satellite that got off course.
Bill Steiner, a Mt. Pleasant resident, has done considerable research on the event. He attended Saturday's anniversary. He believes the object was a Russian satellite.
"At the time, we were in a big space race with the Russians and I think the best explanation is that it was a Russian satellite that went off course," Steiner said. "People saw it change directions when it came down, and if it were a meteor, it would have come on a straight path with much more force."
He said the acorn shape described is consistent with the heat shield which would have been on the bottom of a satellite at the time, although the one modeled in the Kecksburg incident is much smaller. In addition, Steiner said the writing that a lot of people have mistook for Egyptian hyroglyphics or some alien writing, could in fact have been a type of alphabet known as Russian Cyrilic, which looks much like Egyptian hyroglyphics. He said there also is several explanations as to the secrecy of government officials and the precautions taken at the time.
"It's very possible that they might have been concerned about a plutonium leak, which is one of the deadliest substances known to man," Steiner said. Steiner said if it were a Russian satellite, the military would want the chance to look inside without the Russians finding out that they were in possession of the object.
But Weaver is still open to all possibilities.
"I don't know for certain that it wasn't a UFO," Weaver said. "All I can surmise is that it could have been a Russian rocket or satellite."
Saturday was filled with a variety of other speakers who have researched the event or were a part of the event 40 years ago. Stan Gordon, a local researcher, has conducted an investigation on the incident for the past 40 years. Robert Gatty, a reporter for the Tribune-Review in 1965, described his assignment that night and how he was prevented from approaching the object by numerous Army personnel on the scene. Larry Landsman, director of special projects for the Sci-Fi Channel, discussed the channel's UFO Advocacy Initiative that supported a recent investigation of the Kecksburg case by the Coalition for Freedom of Information. The cable channel also produced two TV documentaries on Kecksburg that aired in 2003.
Leslie Kean, a journalist, spoke on the forensic evidence recently discovered at the crash site and on her interviews with Air Force personnel involved in the search of the alleged UFO. Lee E. Helfrich, an attorney, spoke about the current status of the lawsuit filed against NASA in 2003 to gain access information about the Kecksburg incident.
Former Mt. Pleasant Township supervisor Duane Hutter said he is hoping that one day, everyone will really know what happened.

Did ET stay home, then?

While the low red lights that illuminated the pathway between the lecture hall and the observatory may have seemed like an impromptu landing strip for a UFO, there was no sign of an imminent arrival of little green men at Seething over the weekend.The debate over whether there are other life forms in the solar system and the greater universe was the subject of lectures at Seething Observatory.Organised by Norwich Astronomical Society, more than 50 people turned up on both Friday and Saturday nights to hear a lecture by society chairman Mark Lawrik-Thompson called "Life on Earth and beyond" and posing the question: "UFOs and aliens - real or not?"Mr Lawrik-Thompson explained there was every probability that other life forms exist in the universe, given the size and scale of space and the fact there may be other planets similar to Earth circling stars in distant galaxies.He explored the possibility of there being life on Mars and on moons that orbit the great planets of Saturn and Jupiter."Given the scale of the universe, the chances are that there is life out there.

Whether it is intelligent or not is a different matter," he said.The universe is 13 billion years old and infinite in size, so is it really too much to imagine that we are not the only civilisation that has evolved? he asked.He said that for the past few years Norfolk had been at the centre of a number of UFO sightings. After investigation however, it turned out that 95pc of these sightings could be explained quite rationally, often as common phenomena in the sky.And he added: "I do not know many astronomers who have seen UFOs, because they know what they are looking at in the sky."As evidence that primitive life may exist elsewhere, Mr Lawrik-Thompson pointed to examples on Earth of life forms existing in difficult conditions, such as thousands of feet below the surface of the oceans.He said the lecture, attended by regular club supporters and visitors, was meant to be a look at the science and the search for life in the solar system and the universe.It also looked at probes being sent into space and a new generation of space telescopes.Visitors to the event also had the chance to look through the society's telescopes for views of Mars, the Moon and Saturn.Mr Lawrik-Thompson concluded: "If there is life out there, it is going to be very, very primitive."So, it seems, the UFO landing strip at Seething Observatory is not likely to be called into operation in the near future.

UFO sighting claim - watch the video!

A CROSLAND Moor woman has captured images of a strange object in the skies above Huddersfield. Now she is hoping someone can identify the object, which she saw on Monday afternoon. Teresa Millward, 28, of Crosland Moor, said: "It was very strange and slow-moving. It was shaped a bit like a triangle.
"I watched it travelling into the distance over the town, then it returned and seemed to move sideways."
She added: "I thought it was a hang glider or a balloon, but when it came closer I could see it was neither of those things." Teresa photographed the UFO using a digital camera and recorded its movements on video. Teresa, who is in a wheelchair while recovering from an accident on holiday in New Zealand, described the sighting as "very unnerving".
She said: "I am not a believer in UFOs, but I have no idea what this was.
"I thought I must be hallucinating, until I saw some people outside stopping and pointing at it."
Several Examiner readers reported UFO sightings over Christmas last year.

Mystery of UFO research puzzles scientists

Authorities in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou Province, announced yesterday that they had received 160 million yuan (US$20 million) from a Taiwan-based company to construct a UFO research base. Some people in the city's Baiyun District believe they were visited by aliens in 1994, and with this new research base, they hope to reproduce the mysterious moment, through photos and historical documentation.
On November 30, 1994, more than 27 hectares of masson pines in a forest farm in the district mysteriously fell down. However, nearby plastic shelters stood intact.
An adjacent truck factory reported similar enigmas: steel pipes were strangely broken; a huge truck was found more than 20 metres away from its original place; an employee on the night shift said he had been pulled up in the air by an "unknown" force.
While some thought it was UFOs that did all these strange things, scientists said after a field trip that thunder, lightning and tornados were the probable causes. Wang Fangchen, a biologist who visited the site right after the event, said the city's plan to build a UFO research base is "ridiculous."
"Where do they recruit scientists for the research?" he asked, before adding: "I won't oppose it if they just want to promote local tourism through the programme."
Li Jing, a senior astronomer with the National Astronomical Observatories, echoed the view.
Li said China does not have an official UFO research institute because "it needs scientists of various disciplines."
"It can be an atmospheric phenomenon, or a biological issue, or a physical reaction," Li said.
"People often mistake planes, clouds and insects, as well as strange shadows on photographs, as being UFOs," said Zhou Xiaoqiang, secretary-general with the Beijing UFO Research Association.
"If aliens really came, they would more likely appear before our eyes politely than hide themselves."
