"Triangle UFO described low over Fort Worth" | The 6th Anniversary of My UFO Sighting on December 10, 2010 | Kianu Starr

Triangle UFO described low over Fort Worth 
Originally written & reported by Kianu Starr - all rights reserved.

As of the day of this posting, I'm reminiscing about my own personal UFO sighting experience. The story has been posted online following a report I submitted to the Mutual UFO Network, (MUFON), shortly after the sighting, as I wanted to preserve as many details as possible. For the most part, I shared all, but to this day have kept a few details regarding this experience to myself in order to hold my experience somewhat sacred, even if only for my own gratification. The event has led to interesting journeys and insights, as I began a group on Facebook called, "UFO Connection 2012" which later became "UFO Connection & Paranormal Society" after the excitement of the "world's end" passed the 2012 deadline. It was a great decision, as the group's dedicated and trusted administrators Brian Preece, Toyshika Peterson and yours truly watched the membership rapidly expand to well over 50,000 members,

The group still exists to this day, but has been taken "secret" due to our inability to maintain the quality of the membership. Below, the "story" is mine... regardless of how may persons have shared it via the internet over the years and it is the original report I submitted to MUFON which describes what I saw. In terms of what I felt, there was the usual "cognitive dissonance" that's to be expected when the reality you thought you knew, clashes with the reality that's invading; however, as I was realizing this event was truly happening, I felt a surprising level of calmness take over me... everything felt natural and familiar. What does that really say? ... I don't know, but that is how it went.

I've had hours and hours of radio interviews and others have reported similar experiences of that calmness... not the wigging out, going crazy or feeling fearful that most would expect. I hope you enjoy the article and I hope that if there's anyone out there who has been hesitant to share their personal experience out of concerns of not being taken seriously, I can personally attest that UFOs are real, whether we're making them here, or they're from another planet... or we've somehow reverse-engineered technology from crashed vehicles.

Happy UFO witness anniversary to me! Kianu Starr, December 10, 2016. My report story follows:

A Texas witness in Fort Worth near Benbrook Lake reports a triangle-shaped UFO with “three soft, glowing, well defined lights beneath” moving slowly and silently across the sky at 7:45 a.m. on December 10, 2010, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. 

The shape of the craft looked like a dark silhouette. “The shape of the craft was distinguishable as a dark silhouette against the background of the early morning sky, and the three equally proportioned lights were the dominant feature,” the witness stated. “At a higher altitude, there was a military fighter aircraft too small to identify, but was still audible. I watched for about two minutes, as the craft grew closer and eventually passed directly overhead.” The witness was unable to take a photograph or video of the object, but submitted a photo that “fits the description.” The MUFON report was filed on January 11, 2011. Texas is a current UFO ALERT 3 rating, with a higher number of UFO sightings nationally. Texas had 26 UFO reports in December 2011. California led the nation with 45 sighting reports. You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page. The most up-to-date UFO information can be heard at web radio show UFO Traffic Report every Wednesday, 9 – 10:30 p.m. EST, which includes a UFO Witness Testimony Program segment, and an update of the UFO ALERT national rating system. Past shows are available at the Archive page. The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Texas MUFON State Director Steve Hudgeons investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com. TX, December 10, 2010 – Triangle shaped vehicle, 3 huge lights beneath floating overhead at low altitude…very silent. MUFON Case # 27354. The sighting occurred over my southern facing home in southwest Fort Worth near Benbrook Lake in the early morning hours at 7:45 AM Central Standard Time on December 10, 2010 (I confirmed the date and time by reviewing my text message to a friend with whom I shared the experience). I was rolling out the garbage bins for Friday morning Pick-up and the triangular shaped craft, with 3 soft glowing well defined lights beneath, was moving very slowly at a diagonal from my right to the left with no sound. I am accustomed to seeing aircraft which originate from or travel toward Carswell, AFB; however, this craft was on a trajectory outside of the usual flight paths I’ve witnessed. The shape of the craft was distinguishable as a dark silhouette against the background of the early morning sky, and the 3 equally proportioned lights were the dominant feature. At a higher altitude, there was a military fighter aircraft too small to identify, but was still audible. I watched for about 2 minutes, as the craft grew closer and eventually passed directly overhead. I looked to my left and saw a neighbor in the car about 3 houses down; however, this person was not a co-witness. I remained in place and continued to watch. In the time I looked left again, toward my neighbor’s moving car, the craft disappeared in a blink. My initial thought was that in a clear blue sky, I should be able to reacquire the craft, as there was no way a conventional aircraft could have disappeared so suddenly. The sky was cloudless, my view was unobstructed. I was unable to take a picture at that moment, but have discovered a photo that fits the description, the time of day and similar weather conditions under which I witnessed the UFO.

Dr. John Mack: Anomalous Experiences and Transformation of Consciousness 10.25.2002




Anomalous Experiences and the Transformation of Consciousness is one of the final presentations related to alien encounters given by Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack. 

Recorded October 25, 2002 at the International Conference on Altered States of Consciousness, Albuquerque, NM. 

The original synopsis of the lecture: "UFO encounters, near death experiences, shamanic journeys, and spontaneous religious epiphanies all have the power to bring about a significant transformation of consciousness. By this is meant that the experiencers’ worldview, as internalized in the course of their upbringing and inculcation in this culture, is shattered. This, in turn, results in the potential opening of heart and spirit to a wider appreciation of reality and a (re)connection to realms of the sacred and divine. In this lecture I will discuss how this process occurs in specific cases, and its implications for social and cultural change."

MASS FISH DIE-OFF: "An Unbelievable Mystery" - Tens Of Thousands Of Dead Fish Covering 8 Kilometres Of Shoreline In Yass, Australia?


February 03, 2013 - AUSTRALIA - Thousands of fish have mysteriously washed up on the shores of Burrinjuck Dam, north-west of Canberra. Liz Richardson from Good Hope Tourist Resort told The Yass Tribune the amount of dead fish was "unbelievable".  "Every type of fish," she said. "Lots of baby fish, lots of small cod."

Around eight kilometres of shoreline, downstream of Taemas Bridge and past Good Hope, was littered with fish carcasses. The Department of Primary Industries said the cause of the fish kill was unclear.  Fisheries officers inspected the site on Tuesday and observed hundreds of native golden perch and Murray cod among the thousands of dead fish.  "Sizes of fish affected ranged from five to 80 centimetres.  "The fish were observed floating in the water, along the water's edge and on the shoreline over an area of approximately eight kilometres within the impoundment," a DPI spokesman said.  Ms Richardson said a similar thing happened about 10 years ago when the water levels were low, and heavy rain had fallen.  She believed the deaths were due to the rapidly falling dam levels, which, combined with recent storm run-off, may have created low oxygen supplies in the dam.  "They've taken the water so dangerously low for the fish... they've ravaged the water," she said.  "In three-and-a-half months [the lake's] gone from 100 per cent to 38 per cent [full].  "We've had big rain before," she said. "Like last year with the floods. It's just the fact they've let all the water out."

Dean Brind from Burrinjuck State Park said the falling water level shouldn't have killed the fish.  "The fish normally will keep moving down unless they get stuck in pockets," Mr Brind said.  He was told the first dead fish appeared Saturday morning before the rain. He didn't know the cause but ruled out several factors.  "It's not cold water, it's not run off from the fires," he said, as the fire run-off would have washed into the dam from the Yass River area.  Officers from the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) took water samples from Hume Park on Wednesday.  "Fisheries have let us know there's been a fish kill," head of operations, Sandie Jones, said.  "When there's no clear cause we'll come out to take samples."  Hume Park management was worried about people wanting to use the dam.  "[There's] concern as to why it has occurred and whether or not it is safe for recreational use."  Resort owners will be rolling up their sleeves to clean up the dead fish in their immediate area. It is not known who is responsible for the clean-up of the rest of the affected area.  Fishing takes a hit  Thousands of cod fingerlings released recently may all lay dead on the banks of Burrinjuck Dam.  Mr Brind from Burrinjuck State Park said around 65,000 cod were released before Christmas and just last week there was a trout release.  "Most of them were in that stretch of river," he said. "That's probably wiped those two releases out.  "That's a year we've lost."  - Canberra Times.

DISASTER IMPACT: At Least 10 People Injured As 6.9 Magnitude Earthquake Hit Northern Japan - The Authorities Are Assessing Damage To Nuclear Power Plants!


February 02, 2013 - JAPAN - A POWERFUL 6.9 magnitude earthquake has struck northern Japan, causing strong tremors across Hokkaido island, but no damage to several nuclear facilities in the region, officials say. The quake, which was preceded by an early warning broadcast on television and radio, hit near the town of Obihiro at a depth of 103 kilometres at 11.17pm on Saturday (0117 AEDT Sunday), according to US Geological Survey data.  Ten people suffered minor injuries due to falling objects, broken glass and other incidents, according to national broadcaster NHK, but authorities said no serious damage was reported and the quake did not generate a tsunami.


The shaking lasted about a minute, and video taken in the offices of NHK Hokkaido showed computer screens swaying and shelves threatening to give way.  Bottles smashed to the ground in supermarkets, some areas had power blackouts and a number of highways were closed. Trains were stopped on rural tracks as a precaution.  "Beware of possible landslides and buildings that could have been weakened," an official from Japan's Meteorological Agency warned at a press conference.  The most violent tremors were felt in the eastern part of Hokkaido - the nation's second largest island and a popular skiing destination - but the northern part of the island was also shaken along with parts of the main island of Honshu, where Tokyo is located.  Utility firms said no abnormalities were reported at the Tomari nuclear plant in Hokkaido's west, nor in the nuclear facilities in Aomori, the northernmost prefecture on Honshu.  Aomori is home to the Higashidori nuclear reactors and a nuclear reprocessing plant in Rokkasho which is currently in a testing phase, as well as fuel storage sites. 

At present only two of the country's 50 reactors are operational, after the entire network was shuttered over several months for scheduled safety checks following the quake-tsunami disaster of March 2011.  Both are in Oi, in Honshu's west.  Shortly before Saturday's quake hit, an alert was broadcast on television and radio through an early warning system established by the weather agency, and programs were interrupted on NHK.  "Make yourself safe, turn off the gas, beware of falling objects, and if you are outside do not approach the coast," a broadcaster said.  The devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan's northeast left some 19,000 people dead or missing and crippled the Fukushima nuclear power plant in the world's worst atomic disaster in 25 years.  A powerful 7.3-magnitude undersea quake in the same area in December triggered a one-metre-high tsunami, but there were no reports of fatalities.  Since the Fukushima disaster the country has been fearing another quake catastrophe.  Some of Japan's reactors, including the Higashidori facility, are built near faults suspected to be active.  Since the March disaster, anti-nuclear sentiment has run high in Japan, which used to rely on atomic power for around a third of its electricity needs.  Some four hours after the quake a 5.5-magnitude tremor struck off Japan's Izu islands, around 725 kilometres south of Tokyo, according to the US Geological Survey. - Herald Sun.

World leaders prepare for discovery of extraterrestrial life in 10 years


Written by Dr Michael Salla on . Posted in world politics
World Economic ForumIn Davos Switzerland, a prominent ski resort, the world’s business elite are meeting to discuss what to expect over the next 10 years. This year, the annual World Economic Forum meeting runs from January 23 to 27 and business leaders are joined by prominent politicians and central bankers. For 2013, an 80-page analysis of 50 risks for the next 10 years was distributed to attendees. The Global Risks 2013 report  is lengthy list of prognostications of what world leaders need to plan for to avoid “systemic shocks and catastrophic events”. Among the list are five X factors that according to the report, “no country alone can prevent.” One of the X factors is the discovery of extraterrestrial life.
 

The Global Risks 2013 report begins by outlining the importance of "national resilience" in response to anticipated global risks over the next 10 years:
 
Global risks would meet with global responses in an ideal world, but the reality is that countries and their communities are on the frontline when it comes to systemic shocks and catastrophic events. In an increasingly interdependent and hyperconnected world, one nation’s failure to address a global risk can have a ripple effect on others. Resilience to global risks – incorporating the ability to withstand, adapt and recover from shocks – is, therefore, becoming more critical. This special report is organized around two axioms:
  • Global risks are expressed at the national level. 
  • No country alone can prevent their occurrence.
The report goes on to explain ways in which world leaders can “share insights and ideas that improve national and organizational resilience to global risks.” 
Among the list of global risks are five X factors developed in collaboration with Nature, a leading science journal. The Global Risks 2013 report recommended readers “to consider a set of five X factors and reflect on what countries or companies should be doing to anticipate them.”
The last of the five X factors is the “Discovery of Alien Life”. The World 

Economic Forum report begins this section as follows:
 
Given the pace of space exploration, it is increasingly conceivable that we may discover the existence of alien life or other planets that could support human life. What would be the effects on science funding flows and humanity’s self-image?
 
The report goes on to explain:
 
It was only in 1995 that we first found evidence that other stars also have planets orbiting them. Now thousands of “exoplanets” revolving around distant stars have been detected. NASA’s Kepler mission to identify Earth-sized planets located in the “Goldilocks zone” (not too hot, not too cold) of sun-like stars has been operating for only three years and has already turned up thousands of candidates, including one the size of Earth. The fact that Kepler has found so many planet candidates in such a tiny fraction of the sky suggests that there are countless Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars in our galaxy. In 10 years’ time we may have evidence not only that Earth is not unique but also that life exists elsewhere in the universe.
 
What would be the national and global impact of such a discovery according to the Global Risks 2013 report?
 
The discovery would certainly be one of the biggest news stories of the year and interest would be intense. But it would not change the world immediately…. Over the long term, the psychological and philosophical implications of the discovery could be profound. If life forms (even fossilized life forms) are found in our solar system, for example, the origin of life is “easy” – that any place in the universe life can emerge, it will emerge. It will suggest that life is as natural and as ubiquitous a part of the universe as the stars and galaxies. The discovery of even simple life would fuel speculation about the existence of other intelligent beings and challenge many assumptions that underpin human philosophy and religion.
Through basic education and awareness campaigns, the general public can achieve a higher science and space literacy and cognitive resilience that would prepare them and prevent undesired social consequences of such a profound discovery and paradigm shift concerning humankind’s position in the universe.
 
What would be the “undesired social consequences of such a profound discovery?” For an answer, one can look to the 1961 Brookings Report that was commissioned by NASA and written by the Brookings Institution for eventual presentation to the US Congress. The Brookings Report, titled “Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs,” described an alarming scenario of what might happen to society if humanity was not sufficiently prepared for the discovery of technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilizations:
 
Evidences of its [extraterrestrial] existence might also be found in artifacts left on the moon or other planets. The consequences for attitudes and values are unpredictable, but would vary profoundly in different cultures and between groups within complex societies; a crucial factor would be the nature of the communication between us and the other beings…. Anthropological files contain many examples of societies, sure of their place in the universe, which have disintegrated when they had to associate with previously unfamiliar societies espousing different ideas and different life ways; others that survived such an experience usually did so by paying the price of changes in values and attitudes and behavior.
 
Is social disintegration what the Davos Global Risks 2013 report has in mind if extraterrestrial life is discovered? The simple answer is no, if leaders develop the necessary “national and organizational resilience” to such a discovery, and implement “basic education and awareness campaigns”. The Global Risks 2013 report shows how far humanity has come over the last 50 years since the Brookings Report was written. World Economic Forum organizers are far more optimistic and believe that humanity can be sufficiently prepared for a “paradigm shift concerning humankind’s position in the universe.” World leaders currently meeting at the Davos World Economic Forum are themselves being prepared for the possible discovery of extraterrestrial life within the next 10 years.

Russian Prime Minister claims extraterrestrials live among us


On Friday, December 7, the current Russian Prime Minister and former President, Dmitry Medvedev, made some startling off-air comments to reporters while his microphone was still switched on. He was asked whether the President is given any secret files on extraterrestrials while in office. In his responses, Medvedev not only confided that extraterrestrials are visiting the Earth, but that some are actually living among us. He went even further to say that the Hollywood comedy, Men in Black, depicting a secret government agency monitoring extraterrestrials on Earth, has a factual basis to it. While the comments appear to be playful responses to a reporter’s off-beat question, they raise questions over exactly how much truth was being revealed by Medvedev. Given that Medvedev’s responses were said off-air, without him realizing that his microphone was still recording, they at face value give credence to claims that extraterrestrials are not only visiting our world, but are even living among us.
After completing an on-air interview with five television reporters, Prime Minister Medvedev continued to respond to reporters and made some off-air comments without realizing that the microphone was still on. His off-air comments were more frank about his real feelings on recent political developments in Russia where authorities were reigning in civil liberties. He was then asked by one reporter if “the president is handed secret files on aliens when he receives the briefcase needed to activate Russia's nuclear arsenal,” Medvedev responded:
Along with the briefcase with nuclear codes, the president of the country is given a special 'top secret' folder. This folder in its entirety contains information about aliens who visited our planet… Along with this, you are given a report of the absolutely secret special service that exercises control over aliens on the territory of our country… More detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called Men In Black… I will not tell you how many of them are among us because it may cause panic.
Medvedev’s comments are not the first time a prominent Russian official has spoken out about extraterrestrial life while giving television interviews. In an extraordinary television interview aired in May 2010, the Governor of the Russian Republic of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov who was also President of the World Chess Federation, claimed that in 1997 he was taken from his penthouse apartment on board an extraterrestrial vehicle. Ilyumzhinov claimed that the extraterrestrials he met were humanoid and gave him a tour of their ship, and even took him to another world.
There has long been claims that not only have extraterrestrials been visiting our world, but have actually lived among us. A well documented case in Italy called Amicizia (Friendship) revealed that more than 100 individuals, including senior public officials, had met with a group of extraterrestrials with bases in the Italian peninsula and the Adriatic Sea over a 22 year period from 1956 to 1978. Significantly, these extraterrestrials were secretly monitored by NATO authorities who did not interfere with private citizens meeting with and providing supplies to the extraterrestrials. The Friendship case, if genuine, suggests that something like the official agency created to monitor extraterrestrials on earth depicted in the Men In Black movies, is based in fact. Certainly, Prime Minister Medvedev appears to think that such a “secret special service” exists.
While it can be claimed that Medvedev was giving a playful response to an off-beat reporter question, the full context of his off-air remarks suggest he was being candid on a range of topics, including extraterrestrial life. Plausible deniability certainly comes to mind when trying to analyze Medvedev’s frank off-air comments. This raises the intriguing possibility that Medvedev’s comments were orchestrated with prior approval to reveal facts to the Russian public that authorities are not yet able to officially announce to the world – extraterrestrials live among us.
