This case which is commonly referred to as the Antonoi Urzi case is one of the most researched and popular cases of UFO sightings. Antonio lives in Milano, Italy. He along with his girlfriend Simona has documented and recorded a large number of UFO sightings and other anomalous phenomenon. The videos and photographs filmed by them are very clear and are of very high quality. These have been carefully analyzed by Mexico’s expert journalist and photographer Jaime Maussan and his expert studio crew. The fact threat Antonoi Urzi is in constant contact with these UFO’s and knows when exactly to film them is one of the most astounding parts of this famous case.

Some of the pictures of the UFO hovering in the sky were clicked by the couple on 5th April 2009. But it is very strange that the very next day Italy had one of its major natural disasters, an earthquake measuring 6.3 on Richter scale. With some 260 people dead and around 18000 rendered homeless due to the earthquake. The authority as well as the people wondered if this earthquake has something to do with the UFO sightings that occurred a day before the earthquake came.

Here is another UFO sighting event that occurred in Rathdrum, Idaho, United States. An anonymous person was sitting in the lawn near his house and looking towards the sky, he then saw a bright cigar shaped object in the sky do some extremely right and left movements in the air and slowly descending towards the ground. The object was changing color form glittering silver to gold. The UFO started getting brighter and brighter. The object then reached the ground and kept still for 2-3 minutes. The object then grew dimmer. Then it again ascended in sky and flew at a very high speed towards the north-west direction.

The witnessed was amazed and speechless after what he saw. He just went home and sat alone recalling the event that he had just experienced. He noted what he had experienced and then mailed it to a UFO research society, which carried out further analysis of the report.

According to him “I live in a small town where there are absolutely no planes, not even small ones. My father served navy for a good 30 years time period. I have seen a lot of different crafts, but nothing like this ever before. I can say with surety that, that flying object was indeed an UFO.”

Recently the Virgin boss, Sir Richard Branson has entered into an agreement with Mojave Aerospace Ventures, for around 14 million pounds which will see his company take passengers to the space, a Virgin space travel. Mojave Aerospace Ventures was setup by the Microsoft’s co –founder Paul Allen and aviation pioneer Burt Rutan. For this purpose, this British entrepreneur is having five space liners built by the expert team which made spaceship one. The California based space liner became the first privately developed carrier to go beyond 100 kilometers.

According to Richard Virgin space travel, it will cost you around one lakh pounds to go on a “Virgin Galactic” space liner and the first flight will began operating soon. He also says that if this project becomes a success, then he will soon also start orbital flights and even get a hotel up there.

This agreement allows Virgin to use Spaceship One technology. The space liner which is being built by Virgin will accommodate five passengers compared with the two passengers’ capacity offered by Spaceship One.

The vehicle will be well tested before beginning a scheduled space service. The space liner will take off from Mojave Desert which is near Los Angeles. Also the passengers will have to undergo a week’s training before they take off.

The virgin group is well known for its wide range of businesses like music, soft drinks, mobiles, holidays, cars, finance etc. However this business is completely different from the other normal ones. Thus it is more important for them to keep their reputation alive.

Virgin group also claims that its space technology, which releases a spaceship into the sun-orbit using a jet carrier aircraft, is much safer and is much environment friendly than conventional ground-launched rocket technology. Another difference is that, the parts of the space liner mainly consists of non metallic member and are light and hence require less power.

Virgin is not only the first private party which is trying to develop the concept of space travels in private sphere but also it will be the first to take passengers into space.

This space trip, which is being offered by Virgin, will be the most intense and wonderful experiences that people have ever had. Astronauts over the last many years have all returned to earth, struggling very hard to convey that enormity of what they had experienced and discovered. To be able to extend the privilege to ordinary people has been a long held ambition for Virgin, and is slowly becoming true. You won’t believe it, but till date around 200 tickets for “Virgin Galactic” are already sold.

One of the most fascinating avenues for letting loose our imagination has been the topic of aliens. The look and feel of the aliens, their character etc has been the subject of endless discussions and movies.

In most of these discussions and movies there is one very noticeable thread that runs along, and that is, one way or the other the Aliens are depicted as a bad lot. Ugly looking, very vicious and hell bent on destroying humans!

Of course in the end, against all odds, using all the resources at hand, the humans manage to outwit the aliens.

The paradox here which is simply amazing is that if all along we humans believe that God created us and the Earth, then it is obvious, that since we also believe there is only one God, that same God must have created the Aliens or the green Martian or whoever. In that case why do we humans presume that the Aliens are bad? Why should God create bad beings?

We go all out trying to create creatures that look scarier, sillier, dumb, bad etc. We equip them with some amazing gadgets. Flying saucers that can appear, disappear, and make travel at the speed of light look like slow motion. We make them carry sophisticated weapons that can decimate groups into ash, laser beams that can set fire to a whole city, oh boy, you name it and they have it. How did God ever create such a creature huh? We Humans have to destroy these creatures!

Two eyes, four legs, chomping on worms or humans make no difference to them. They may walk or slide or float or whatever, but at the end of the day they are bad, they have come to destroy us and so we must somehow destroy them!

So why is it that we humans like to think and portray all aliens as bad? Is it a reflection of our insecurity? Humans have all along history been fighting for one reason or another. Frankly I do not think there has been any point on the time scale when humans have really lived in peace with no weapons on hand. Has there ever been a time when humans have laughed and lived a happy life without worrying about the enemy- Real or imaginary?

Today apart from the external enemies, humans now have to worry about the internal enemies. The mind of the humans is taking over control. The mind is now creating all kinds of imaginary scenarios, which are sufficient cause to unleash violence- at home, in the city, the state, the country and maybe finally in the universe.

So in a way it is possible that this over dose of violence and insecurity in our society is driving us to think and behave in a manner which makes anything other than us bad? In fact even amongst us we are either this side or that side. Who cares which side is good or bad!

So what could be the impact if a good Alien lands up on earth? Technologically sophisticated, able to disarm us quickly in case we try to fight, but a good Alien!

I would for one love to see a movie on a good alien. But then will this movie be a success?

A UFO crash in a remote place where the human population is still in the early stages of civilization. The crew are unable to withstand the impact of the crash and are all killed.

Some years later, a group of explorers happen to come across the object and recognize it as a UFO. Circular in shape, with seemingly retractable ports the object would have easily weighed about a ton.

They quietly take photographs and have them examined by a group of scientists who declare the object is an UFO. In other words it is a space craft. Detailed observations and explorations reveal a lot of advanced scientific and military capabilities and some unknown capabilities.

This “Group” now knows they have a treasure on hand and they plan to sell it to the highest bidder.

They tie up with some powerful people.

They discreetly spread the news that they have a UFO for sale!

Obviously the primary interested buyers would be the Governments of the US, Russia, China, Israel and next possibly countries like Iran, North Korea and so on.

The stakes are high and so are the costs. Whoever gets control of this space craft and are able to understand and use its capabilities can become superpowers and can very easily control the world.

The CIA, the KGB, The Mossad all swing secretly into action, each trying to outwit the other in a no holds barred game and try to capture the space craft before the bidding takes place.

Time is of essence and speed is crucial!

The “Group” is well aware that they could loose their lives and have safely moved out the UFO into a top secret hiding place with a lot of sophisticated security and surveillance in place.

The modalities of the auction have been worked out. The top representatives of each country wanting to participate in the bidding are invited under cover of heavy security to a secret briefing and a film show of the space ship.

Security is high. In addition to each country providing its own security the “Group” has also arranged its own security. The risk of abductions and disappearances are high. Tensions are running high and mounting!
The bidding is arranged in a posh hotel in a major city in the US. Each Government willing to participate nominates a representative, who alone is authorized to receive information about the bidding process.

The identity is kept a top secret and all communication is encrypted and sent via secure mail.

All intelligence agencies have their tech teams working overtime to intercept and decode the messages.

The deadline is approaching. The first secret bids are in place. All the representatives are arriving at the bidding location. Each coming in a inconspicuous way. They are escorted into the main room where the final bidding is expected to take place.

All the representatives are seated and wait with bated breath for the bidding process to begin.

A video screen comes alive......an image slowly starts to form...........

“Welcome ladies and gentlemen”.......there is a flicker, then sudden static ....silence and then all hell breaks loose.

Newspaper reports the next day.....There were reports of a sighting of an UFO in the treacherous mountain ranges of kolibostan. Unconfirmed reports also stated that there were some explosions in the vicinity.

The “Group” met for the evening. The leader stood up “Gentlemen, the UFO was destroyed. I am not sure if we can find out who or how it happened?

At a far away place, jingoba raised a toast along with his friends “To another successful mission”...

Many people in this world are interested in paranormal things, but most of them don’t consider the UFO’s as they simply can’t believe the existence of such objects. Following is another report of an alleged UFO sighting, this time by a Russian scientist living in Russia. Because of nature of his work, he was asked to remain anonymous.

The incident happened on 13th June 1980. He was returing home after seeing of his relatives. He took the last bus from the train station located at the Dolgoprudny which is situated near the northern border of Mexico. Dolgoprudny is a well known town in Russia and also houses Moscow Physics Technical Institute.

Just after he came out of the bus, he looked at his apartment. What he saw then was really amazing. At first he thought that his apartment was on fire as very bright lights and flashes were coming out from it. The next moment he saw a fling saucer moving very silently, almost parallel to the surface. According to him, the UFO moved for a while in the same direction. After several minutes, it suddenly changed its directions and speed of movement in the new direction which was about 90 degree angle to the precious one was incredible.

He made certain observation. First, the UFO was not transparent, because when it covered the stars, he was not able to see them. Second, there was some sort of gas stream which was coming out of the UFO. The gas stream was coming out from entire surface of the UFO.

He estimated that the UFO was around 30-45 meters in diameter and was emitting heavy or brilliant flash lights.

The event was also seen by a pilot and he reported the matter to ATC at Sheremetyevo International Airport that he was seeing “a space ship from another planet.”

To the scientist’s surprise none of the government agencies or helicopters came to take the samples of the colored gas clouds that existed for a good period of time, even after the UFO disappeared. More than that, after many days one of the central newspapers published an article on the event. The newspaper published an article report on the pilot experience that day saying how deceptive “natural phenomena” or “military landing missiles” can be even for experienced pilots. The official reports that followed said that it was not an UFO but a Russian satellite.

Now many questions arise like, would a satellite make a 90 degree turn in the sky and still move? Why did the Russian newspaper labeled this pilot's report of a UFO as "natural phenomena" or "military landing missiles"?

A 125 million USD NASA aircraft that had traveled to around 420 million to Mars has vanished under mysterious circumstances. This happened for the second time in the short span of six years that NASA has lost its spaceship on its mission to Mars. The “Mars Climate Orbiter” which was sent to mars to study the planet’s weather and to look for any form of life and water apparently flew too close to the planet and broke apart and burned up, the space agency said. NASA top management ruled out any mechanical problem or technical failure.

Previously in 1993 NASA’s 1 billion USD “Mars Observer Probe” disappeared in the same fashion as this one has. NASA’s goal is to launch such expeditions at least once in every 26 months. However the failure of such missions discourages the funding which it gets from the U.S Congress. NASA boasts that its mission to mars, i.e. “Mars Pathfinder” which was sent in 1997, was a huge success. This pathfinder was a tiny land rover, which even took photos of Mars’s surface. However there has always been a debate on the authenticity of these photos.

The Climate Orbiter was last heard on 2.06 AM just after five minutes after its main engine had fired in order to slow the speed of the aircraft so that it would be captured in the orbit of the planet.

The Orbiter carried instruments which were designed to study the weather pattern on mars. The information was the key to understanding whether some form of life existed or can exist in mars.

In the year 1993 the Mars Observer vanished when its fuel line was pressurized before it reached the orbit of the planet. A panel investigating the matter concluded that the fuel line probably broke because of the large distance traveled by the space craft.

According to Carl Pilcher of NASA's Office of Space Exploration "When you're launching missions at such a vast and rapid rate, there is simply statistically a greater trend that you're going to have a loss".

The failure of such space crafts which are highly sophisticated raises a finger of suspicion. Do they really met with an accident or some external force devastated the orbiters? Even the NASA’s team is trying to figure out what the truth really is. Perhaps the time will tell what the truth exactly is and what the fate of these orbiters was.

UFO’s are one of the most mysterious things that our earth has ever encountered. People still are divided over whether UFO’s really exists or they are just human created. All around the world there are millions and millions of people who have witnessed strange events in sky, many have even filmed or photographed such events, however until today there is no solid evidence or proof which can make us believe that the UFO’s do exists.

One of the biggest projects relating to UFO, which was undertaken to determine that whether UFO’s really existed or not was Project Blue Book, which was undertaken by the U.S Air Force in the year 1952. This project was assigned few tasks, one was to determine whether UFO’s exist or not, second was to see whether these posses any threat to the national security and third was to analyze the data related to UFO’s and UFO’ sightings. The project scanned around 12,618 reports received form various parts of the world. Of these 12,618 reports around 6% was defined as unknown and thus defied detailed analysis.

The U.S government since the beginning has declined its involvement in any such kind of project related to UFO’s but always there has been a speculation of the involvement of various government agencies taking particular interest in the UFO or Alien theory. Due to a large number of applications under the Freedom of Information Act or FOIA, their have been a pressure built up on U.S government to leak all the reports and finding related to UFO or Alien theory. However this appeal has always been discarded by the government stating that such measure will be a threat to the national security of the country and would be against safety measures.

The Saucer Watch and Citizens against UFO’s Secrecy or CAUS has always been actively involved in the release of government official UFO documents. many researchers and Ufologist’s are devoted to extract more information about UFO’s and their existence with the UFO reports being uncovered that prove the existence of these unidentified flying objects.

The UFO’s secret reports contain many evidences and proofs of UFO sightings seen by the U.S Air Force in the 1950’s. The report contains many stories of sightings of “green fireballs” by the fighter pilots who were on their routine flights. However the government has always been reluctant in sharing information related to UFO’s for no logical reason.

While the vast majority of the reports of strange objects in our skies have been explained as some natural occurrence or object, there are still some that have defied all attempts to debunk or refute the event. One such sighting occurred May 11, 1950 at a farm near McMinnville, Oregon.

Mrs. Evelyn Trent was walking back to her house after feeding some of the livestock when she noticed what appeared to be a metal, disk shaped object moving slowly in her direction from the northeast. She called for her husband Paul, to come see the object as well. After witnessing the strange object, Mr. Trent went back into the house and got his camera. He was able to take two photographs of the object before it picked up speed and disappeared into the west. The speed of its departure was enough to cause Mrs. Trent's dress to rustle in its wake.

The Trent's, along with Mrs. Trent's father who lived next door, all saw the object. They described the flying object as being about thirty-foot across and silvery-bright mixed with bronze. The object had a flat bottom surface and was completely soundless.

The Trents believed what they had seen was most likely some unknown Army vehicle and did not get overly excited at the time. It was in fact some time before Mr. Trent even had the film developed. When he mentioned it to his banker friend, Frank Wortmann, the banker got him to allow the photos to be displayed in the bank's front window. There they drew the curiosity of a local reporter, Bill Powell, who convinced Mr. Trent to loan the negatives to him.

Thus began an odyssey in which the negatives were extensively examined and repeatedly published. It was during their publication in "Life" magazine in July of 1950 that the negatives were misplaced and remained lost for seventeen years in their photo archives. Once rediscovered, the negatives were again studied for indications of forgery. The astronomer and investigator for the Condon Committee UFO Research Project, William Hartmann, determined the photos genuine and one of the best examples of an unknown object being witnessed and photographed.

While the skeptics, Philip Klass and Robert Sheaffer, tried to debunk the photographs in the 1980's, their own analysis was subsequently shown to be flawed and biased. The McMinnville UFO photographs have continued for sixty years to be beyond anyone's ability to explain just what it was that passed over the Trent's farm that fateful day in 1950.

Today most of the UFO sightings in actual are the case of mistaken identity or misinterpretation of some natural phenomenon maybe planet, stars or meteors or man made object such as weather balloons, hot air balloons, satellites or airplanes. All these flying objects are referred to as identified flying objects, better known as IFO’s and not UFO’s. Many individual reports on such sightings cannot be studied properly due to lack of evidence or detail .In any given set of reports related to UFO’s there remains a small residue which is truly puzzling, not only to witnesses but also to the expert people who study these reports.

While the reports on such sightings differ in detail, there are many such similarities in shapes, maneuverability, color and sound.

The number of UFO sightings till date must be in millions, but it is not possible to study all of them. The UFOCAT or the unidentified flying object catalog which is specially created for this purpose has around 105000 entries.

The encounters with the UFO’s or aliens are classified into four categories namely, CE-1, CE-2, CE-3 and CE-4.

In close encounters of the first kind or CE-1, the person observes an UFO nearby but does not make any physical contact with the UFO.

In close encounter of second kind or CE-2, there is reported interaction between the environment and the UFO which may vary from interference to burns on the ground or any physical effect on any living being.

In close encounters of third kind or CE-3, the entities which look more or less humanlike appearance are reported in along with the UFO. There is no direct contact with the UFO or alien. These are however very rare occurrences.

In close encounters of fourth kind or CE-4, the witnesses have a very close contact physical contact with the UFO’s or aliens. Sometimes the alien takes place.

Scientists actually believe that if all these reporting and so called alien abductions are carefully studied and analyzed then one would conclude that of all the UFO sightings reported till date, only 10% were UFO’s and rest 90 IFO’s. Regarding the video and photo evidences , scientist confirm that these are the work of some highly skilled person who are masters in their field, according to them it is difficult to fake the videos and photos but it is not impossible to fake them or to manipulate them.
