Triangle Object Photographed over Wesley Chapel, Florida

Wesley Chapel, Florida - 07-17-09

At 11:42 PM, 7/17/2009, my neighbor knocked on my door. It was unusual because it was really late so I thought it was an emergency.

She said "Sorry to bother you so late, but my husband is in the backyard looking at some weird lights in the sky and thought you might want to see them too."

I then said "Ok, I'm out back right now."

I then opened up my sliding glass door to go to the lanai, and I looked up in the eastern sky at about 45 degrees, or the 1 o'clock position, and saw a triangular object in the sky moving from left to right, and back left, and up and down and it surely didn't look like anything I've ever seen in my life.

I then ran back into the house to wake up my wife, who is the biggest UFO skeptic that I know, and said, "Wake up! Wake up! You've got to come outside and see this thing!"

She said "No, I have to go to sleep, I have to work in the morning!"

I preceded to say "You have to see this thing in the sky, just trust me, you have to come out and see this!"

I then looked for our camera, a Casio Exilim 10.1 mega pixel camera, and went back outside with my dog and started recording footage of this thing in the sky. I walked over to my neighbor's house and the three of us watched this thing for 2 and a half hours.

My neighbor had binoculars and a telescope, but it was easier to use the binoculars to see the silhouette of this object. It was moving in different patterns, but generally stayed in the eastern sky moving from left to right in a pendulum type pattern, but it would also moved westward a little bit, but remained at the 1 o'clock to 1:30 position in the sky.

If you held a dime towards the sky, the size was a little smaller than the dime. It seemed to be about 1000-3000 feet in the sky hovering over I-75 near SR 54. The feeling I felt was "what the heck is that?"

We sat on some chairs and watched this thing for a couple hours. I started to feel really sleepy so I went back inside the house to go to sleep, but I kept checking out my window because I wanted to see where this thing will go once it's done hovering over Wesley Chapel, FL.

I found my other battery that was fully charged, so I went back outside for a few more minutes and filmed one more video. I don't know what we saw, but it wasn't a plane.

Matter of fact, we saw 2 planes fly by that night, one was flying from East to Southwest. We heard the sounds of the engines as it came closer to us, and as it flew past us. The sounds were evident even when the plane seemed to be further to us than the triangular object in the sky.

The next plane flew past us from South to North, and you could also hear it as it flew past us. But this object made no sounds at all. The night sky was very clear, and there was no or very little wind that night.

Unknown Objects Videotaped over Scotland

RESIDENTS in a Highland village were left terrified by a UFO sighting which lasted TWO hours. The bizarre sightings began at 11pm on Saturday and the spectacular show in the sky above Muir of Ord, Ross-shire ended at 1 am.

Residents watched in awe as three bright orange dome-shaped objects hovered then flew at high speed in random spirals closer and closer to the village.

Last night leading expert Nick Pope said: "This could be one of the most significant UFO events in recent history. "Sightings like this are hugely significant because they are very rare."

"Most UFOs are seen by single witnesses so it's very difficult to get any proof. For whole streets of people to see something is almost without precedent and this sounds like one of the most significant UFO events in recent history.

"It's also very unusual for a UFO to be seen for such a long time. Most are very brief.

Care worker Sandra Robertson, 45, said: "It was weird and scary. But at the same time if they came back I'd like to watch them again.

"The whole street was out with cameras and binoculars. "Folk were coming out the pub and telephoning home about what they were seeing in the sky. "It's been the talk of the place ever since it happened. "It's the sort of thing we'll remember all our lives. It's so difficult to describe because it was like nothing anyone had ever seen before. "The objects were sort of dome shaped and bright, bright orange."

"They were hovering for up to five minutes at a time then they would move really, really fast across the sky. "At first they seemed very far away but they got closer and closer."

Her husband, Henry, 47, who along with daughter Jolene, 23, filmed the UFOs, said: "You'd have had to see it to believe it. "I'm 47 and I've seen a lot of things and come through a lot but this was scary."

"It was no Loch Ness monster-type sighting. People all over the village are talking about it. "There must be some explanation and I'd love to hear what it is.

An RAF spokesman at Lossiemouth said there had been no reports that required a response on Saturday night.

He added: "Usually there are innocent explanations for these things."

Wish Fulfillment? No. But Dreams Do Have Meaning

Dreams may not be the secret window into the frustrated desires of the unconscious that Sigmund Freud first posited in 1899, but growing evidence suggests that dreams — and, more so, sleep — are powerfully connected to the processing of human emotions.
According to new research presented last week at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Seattle, adequate sleep may underpin our ability to understand complex emotions properly in waking life. "Sleep essentially is resetting the magnetic north of your emotional compass," says Matthew Walker, director of the Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab at the University of California, Berkeley. (See the top 10 scientific discoveries of 2008.)

A recent study by Walker and his colleagues examined how rest — specifically, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep — influences our ability to read emotions in other people's faces. In the small analysis of 36 adults, volunteers were asked to interpret the facial expressions of people in photographs, following either a 60- or 90-minute nap during the day or with no nap. Participants who had reached REM sleep (when dreaming most frequently occurs) during their nap were better able to identify expressions of positive emotions like happiness in other people, compared with participants who did not achieve REM sleep or did not nap at all. Those volunteers were more sensitive to negative expressions, including anger and fear.

Past research by Walker and colleagues at Harvard Medical School, which was published in the journal Current Biology, found that in people who were sleep deprived, activity in the prefrontal lobe — a region of the brain involved in controlling emotion — was significantly diminished. He suggests that a similar response may be occurring in the nap-deprived volunteers, albeit to a lesser extent, and that it may have its roots in evolution. "If you're walking through the jungle and you're tired, it might benefit you more to be hypersensitive to negative things," he says. The idea is that with little mental energy to spare, you're emotionally more attuned to things that are likely to be the most threatening in the immediate moment. Inversely, when you're well rested, you may be more sensitive to positive emotions, which could benefit long-term survival, he suggests: "If it's getting food, if it's getting some kind of reward, finding a wife — those things are pretty good to pick up on." (See more about sleep.)

Our daily existence is largely influenced by our ability "to understand our societal interactions, to understand someone else's emotional state of mind, to understand the expression on their face," says Ninad Gujar, a senior research scientist at Walker's lab and lead author of the study, which was recently submitted for publication. "These are the most fundamental processes guiding our personal and professional lives."

REM sleep appears to not only improve our ability to identify positive emotions in others; it may also round out the sharp angles of our own emotional experiences. Walker suggests that one function of REM sleep — dreaming, in particular — is to allow the brain to sift through that day's events, process any negative emotion attached to them, then strip it away from the memories. He likens the process to applying a "nocturnal soothing balm." REM sleep, he says, "tries to ameliorate the sharp emotional chips and dents that life gives you along the way." (See the top 10 medical breakthroughs of 2008.)

"It's not that you've forgotten. You haven't," he says. "It's a memory of an emotional episode, but it's no longer emotional itself."

That palliative safety-valve quality of sleep may be hampered when we fail to reach REM sleep or when REM sleep is disrupted, Walker says. "If you don't let go of the emotion, what results is a constant state of anxiety," he says.

The theory is consistent with new research conducted by Rebecca Bernert, a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology at Florida State University who specializes in the relationship between sleep and suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and who also presented her work at the sleep conference this week.

In her study of 82 men and women between the ages of 18 and 66 who were admitted into a mental-health hospital for emergency psychiatric evaluation, Bernert discovered that the presence of severe and frequent nightmares or insomnia was a strong predictor of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. More than half of the study participants had attempted suicide at least once in the past, and the 17% of the study group who had made an attempt within the previous month had dramatically higher scores in nightmare frequency and intensity than the rest. Bernert found that the relationship between nightmares or insomnia and suicide persisted, even when researchers controlled for other factors like depression. See TIME's special report on how not to get sick.)

Past studies have also established a link between chronic sleep disruption and suicide. Sleep complaints, which include nightmares, insomnia and other sleep disturbances, are listed in the current Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's inventory of suicide-prevention warning signs. Yet what distinguishes Bernert's research is that when nightmares and insomnia were evaluated separately, nightmares were independently predictive of suicidal behavior. "It may be that nightmares present a unique risk for suicidal symptoms, which may have to do with the way we process emotion within dreams," Bernert says.

If that's the case, it may help explain the recurring nightmares that characterize psychiatric conditions like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Walker says. "The brain has not stripped away the emotional rind from that experience memory," he says, so "the next night, the brain offers this up, and it fails again, and it starts to sound like a broken record ... What you hear [PTSD] patients describing is, 'I can't get over the event.' "

At the biological level, Walker explains, the "emotional rind" translates to sympathetic nervous-system activity during sleep: faster heart rate and the release of stress chemicals. Understanding why nightmares recur and how REM sleep facilitates emotional processing — or hinders it, when nightmares take place and perpetuate the physical stress symptoms — may eventually provide clues to effective treatments of painful mental disorders. Perhaps, even, by simply addressing sleeping habits, doctors could potentially interrupt the emotional cycle that can lead to suicide. "There is an opportunity for prevention," Bernert says.

The new findings highlight what researchers are increasingly recognizing as a two-way relationship between psychiatric disorders and disrupted sleep. "Modern medicine and psychiatry have consistently thought that psychological disorders seem to have co-occuring sleep problems and that it's the disorder perpetuating the sleep problems," says Walker. "Is it possible that, in fact, it's the sleep disruption contributing to the psychiatric disorder?"

Be Careful What You Wish For

Be Careful What You Wish for and Who You Invite Into Your Home in the Dead of Night!


Written by Chris Holly


If you consider the billions of stars that have billions of planets in the vast galaxies of the universe you can sort of figure out there are a few good chances not only that we have visitors from other places, but most likely multiple kinds of different life species visiting this planet.


In this universe there seems to be a positive and negative to all things. Dark and light, matter and antimatter, good and evil - you get the idea. I am sure this average of things follows along with other beings in this cosmos. I am sure just as on this planet with earthlings that there are good and bad aliens having both good and bad intentions towards others sharing the same universe.


Look at earth and the humans. We cannot get along on our own planet. I am sure for many others who may have evolved to a point of growth where they do not kill each other - our planet is extremely primitive. I am sure there are areas of the universe where solar systems exist that work and live in harmony.


I also think there are areas that contain creatures as violent and ruthless as humans. I think we all exist, all are part of the big picture and we humans are simply not smart enough yet to understand it all.


With the warm weather coming in my part of the world I have been hearing whispers of plans of those who are interested in the subject of UFO’s and aliens making plans to gather together and go UFO hunting.

I think that keeping a watchful eye on the sky is a good thing to do. In fact, I think if you watch long enough you will without question see something unknown and unexplained.

I also have heard about those who want to alone or in a group try to attract aliens so they can have a visit with them.

This is where I become concerned, and this is where I have to drop my two cents down on the idea of calling out to the unknown with open arms.

I have been told about groups planning to meet on beaches, along open fields, in mountain ranges - all with the intention of drawing aliens to them. I have been told of groups planning to use group telepathic methods, all the way to using codes or flashes of light.

I understand the overwhelming desire to want to know the unknown, but I also know that these practices are not safe, and in fact could be very dangerous.

Going back to my understanding of how this universe seems to be set up, I will remind you that as sure as you are that there are aliens visiting us with good intentions, there are also those who simply do not care one way or the other about our needs or desires, and even others who would scoop you up to never be seen again.

I wonder if those who are inviting the unknown into their lives also open up all the windows in their house, throw all the doors open – unlocked before going to bed?

I wonder how many of the people reaching to alien contact simply open up their homes, cars, kid's rooms, older parents' houses, and leave it to fate to see who walks into their lives? Chances are a neighbor you know may wander by, or a nice guy who likes to collect ant farms.

Maybe a number of nice lovely people will end up sitting in your living room, however, chances also may be you find a deranged, deadly, dangerous, wild man or a distraught woman who enjoys hanging kittens sitting on the end of your bed!

It would be a dangerous ,crazy thing to keep a open home offered to anyone who passes and it is a dangerous thing to invite other species from the unknown into your life without proper precautions.

I am curious on how you can tell what kind of alien you are hailing? What makes humans think that only the good ones will answer their call? How do you know what will respond to such invitations? What is your plan to deal with something from the unknown that you may find standing in front of you on a lonely beach, road, or hilltop that may not be friendly or kind?

I know that many types of intelligent life forms had to develop throughout the universe. I also am aware we are on the lower level of the intelligent being ladder. As I always tell my fellow earthlings, before you feel all knowing and powerful remember who is visiting whom!

I am sure among the many forms of intelligent life in our universe many are kind benevolent beings curious to what we are doing on our planet. I read once that during an alien encounter a woman asked the alien standing before her what they thought of what we humans were doing to our planet. She claims the alien answered “It isn't what your doing to your planet that concerns us as much as what your doing to each other!”

I think that aliens are not humans. I think humans need to stop giving aliens human qualities and characteristics that belong to the human species. I encounter time after time groups of humans who try to mold aliens and alien intentions into human behavior or emotions.

Humans can no more expect an alien to think, act, or feel about life as a human does as we can figure out what they think or feel or accept as normal.

Simply understand an Alien is NOT a human – so stop thinking and wanting to treat them that way.

Aliens may not grasp pain, or love, or intrusion of personal space, or the idea that being taken against one's will is wrong. Aliens may not understand humans need to eat and have water requirements daily, or that giving birth is painful.

Aliens may not relate to mothers loving and wanting their own babies or families living together. Aliens may have no idea of personal choice or will – aliens are not humans, so do not anticipate your meeting one will fit in with any human-like agenda you have concluded in your wish to visit with one.

Encounters with aliens are encounters with those we know nothing about, who are not human. You must understand that. Be it good or bad, you are not going to meet a perfected human, you are going to meet something non-human.

I am aware I have said these things many times before, however, I am also aware that many simply refuse to use logic and common sense in this area, and continue to spin fantasy and want before reason, and safety when it comes to other life forms.

Wanting something is one thing - being logical and based in reality when dealing with the unknown is another. Do not confuse your love for a fantasy world presented via Hollywood and many fanciful media outlets as fact. Fact is staring dead into black eyes of a unknown creature and having no idea what to do.

Knowing our cosmic neighbors can, will, and for many already have been a wonderful adventure. It is a step on the way to belonging to our universal community for the human species.

I think this part of the growth in galactic belonging for humans' needs to be handled with care, and slowly as we are so vulnerable to those able to visit us while we sit stuck on our own planet.

It is only recently we earthlings have even thought about reaching past our own globe. We are being watched as we struggle, but we are far from equal to those who visit and watch our progress.

The main thing we need to remember is that just because our visitors are technically advanced and older than our species, does not mean they are kind god-like creatures with only our best intentions in mind. We have no idea what they think of, or what they intend to do with, or about us!

It is obvious as it stands we are at the will and mercy of those visiting us. It is also obvious that there is more than one type of being visiting us. It is fair to say we are completely ignorant to whom these visitors are and who are ones we should cozy up to and which ones we should be careful in dealing with. As it stands,we are clueless to these things.

Just as it is unlikely you are going to throw open your doors and windows in the dark of night while sending out inviting messages to whomever may wish to enter your home, it is unwise to call out to other beings inviting them into your world, lives and homes.

Just as it would be dangerous to do among your fellow humans, it is dangerous to do among your fellow cosmic neighbors. Can you be sure the nice guy down the street will show up with his wife and kids or the crazed, serial, ax murderer who has been hiding in the forest for the last 15 years? How would you know?

It also needs to be mentioned that it would be far easier once you did find yourself in a difficult position to defend against the ax murderer, as I am positive you would have no defense against our technically advanced universal visitors.

I realize everyone wants to know the truth. I understand the world is now starting to look past its own borders of this planet and wants to expand into this huge universe we belong to. I get it that we are anxious and really curious but people - you need to do this with intelligence and care.

I look at it this way. When we are ready as a species of beings we will be introduced openly to those who visit us. As we stand, well, we need a bit more work before we are cleaned up enough to meet the neighbors.

With the new cycles of the galaxy, solar system, and our alignment in them comes the road to the end of times for many things on this earth. We will see changes and hard days ahead, as well as the end of a dark period of hate and violence as we enter a new more balanced lighter time.

As we go down this road of the end of one cycle and the start of another, we will all have choices to make about how we will live, think, behave, and evolve. I think once we find our roads and begin anew, we will then be on our way to joining others who also are living and experiencing this universe along with us.

Until then, be careful whom you invite home to meet the family, and please be careful out there. There are many beings out there in this universe, and we are just one small part of it. Walk softly and slowly down your unknown roads. It is better to see the path clearly then to jump without care off the cliff.

Lake on Mars......

Could this be a lake on Mars? Please give your feedback!

Just to clear something up......

Some people has not quite realized this yet, but this blog IS part of The UFO Files. There seemed to be some confusion about that amongst some, so I just wanted to clear it up.
