Top Russian Admirals: UFOs Patrol Bermuda Triangle
Wed Jul 18 2012 05:25



Former Russian Navy Chief Fleet Admiral Vladimir Chernavin described declassified encounters Russian sailors had with three types of UFOs: saucers, cylinders, and cigar-shaped craft. The admiral stressed the former Soviet Navy observed and gathered a large number of UFO sightings over the decades from various regions around the world.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Fleet Admiral Nikolai Smirnov concurred with Chernavin's assessment of the cases.

Weekly meetings about the encounters with otherworldly craft were documented by the former deputy section chief of exploration for the Oceanographic Commission of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Captain First Rank Vladimir Azhazha who launched a new career as a UFO investigator after his stint in the navy.
All the high-ranking, former naval officers stressed that roughly half of UFO encounters happen at sea. Statistically 60 percent occur in the Atlantic and Pacific, 10 percent in the Mediterranean, and the rest in other waters. Yet of all the encounters across the globe, some of the most amazing—and unsettling—incidents happened in the Bermuda Triangle…



Many men have seen them [UFOs] and have not been mistaken. Who are we to doubt their word? …Only a few weeks ago a Palermo policeman photographed one, and four Italian Navy officers saw a 300-foot long fiery craft rising from the sea and disappearing into the sky…Why should these men of law enforcement and defense lie?

Six Russian submersibles encounter huge UFO

While on naval manuevers in the Pacific, six Russian submarines encountered mysterious echoes on their sonar. None of the sonar technicians in any of the boats could identify the signature of the echoes, nor could they determine just what the object was their instruments were reading.



All agreed, however, that the object was enormous and traveling beneath their submarines.
Despite the fact that the subs were under orders not to break formation or surface during the naval exercise, all six Russian submarines surfaced when the sonar operators confirmed the gigantic unknown had turned and was swiftly closing in on them.
The unidentified submerged object (USO) ascended rapidly and shot from the ocean. After surfacing it switched to atmospheric flight. According to the seamen's reports, the object quickly disappeared.

Navy Intelligence Captain First Rank, Igor Barclay, testifies
According to Captain Barclay, a seasoned intelligence officer, UFOs and USOs frequently appear during naval exercises undertaken by Russian, American and NATO fleets.
Many sightings and encounters occur in the region known as the Bermuda Triangle. Encounters with alien craft take place in the waters around the Bahamian islands, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Sometimes encounters also happen near the Eastern seaboard of the U.S.
Some of the Russian experts have told Barclay that they believe strong evidence exists the region contains one or more submerged UFO bases. Evidence of this, they say, can be seen by the numerous reports of USOs seen entering and leaving some of the Atlantic's deepwater areas in the southern part of Bermuda Triangle and greater Caribbean region.
The craft sometimes act hostile and make threatening manuevers. This has led some of the naval officers to speculate that whatever the intelligence is guiding the vessels, they do not like visitors.

The captain is also impressed by lake sightings of USOs. Like the oceans, some of the deeper lakes have frequent UFO activity with craft—usually saucer or cylinderical in shape—diving into, and later ascending from, the water.
Underwater the craft glow brightly and can be spotted even during daylight hours. Their light is "reminiscent of the spotlight and flash like the glitter of electric welding."


Hovering UFO encountered at Lake Baikal, Siberia

Chasing underwater aliens
Barclay shared a tragic incident that ocurred in the summer of 1982.
During a diving training exercise held at the Siberian Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world, several of the divers encountered strange beings at depth. Described as being only three-feet tall and wearing form-fitting sliver jumpsuits, the diving team were amazed to discover the humanoids wore no diving gear or scuba equipment. The strange beings, however, all wore odd-looking spherical helmets.



Attempting to confront the unidentified divers that were swimming in the restricted military training zone, the group of Russian divers swam after the helmeted beings.
Unfortunately, the attempt ended in disaster. Not only did the Russians fail to catch any of the fleeing humanoids, but four of the Russians were hurt in the attempt and three later perished.
Despite a massive search by the military, the strange beings were not seen again.


Fantastic sky cylinders soar over the Pacific
Captain Azhazha confirmed another of the declassified reports.



Translated from Russian, he said:
"There is evidence from the Pacific Fleet sailors how in the remote waters of the Pacific, they observed 'hanging' in the sky cylinders, of which the flying saucer UFO smaller, plunged into the water, and then again back to the main cylinder, and he flew away."



The report is similar to many reports that have come from all over the world during the past 60 years.
Cylinders acting as "mother ships" operate as airborne carriers, the atmospheric version of naval aircraft carriers. Small craft—normally disc-shaped or spherical—use the skyborne carriers as their base of operations. What their missions are no one knows.

Azhazha believes the cylinders are linked to undersea bases that may populate the greater ocean depths at particular spots around the globe



Famous researcher Ivan T. Sanderson explored this idea at length and had an exhaustive list of USO incidents featured in his classic book, Invisible Residents.

That UFO's could have landed on this planet is quite possible, but that there were Aliens on board would be hard to imagine, unless they are completely different to our species, because the distances and time to overcome is almost impossible.
But I,am just a mere mortal.

LOL

yes its real

does this comfort you?

i suggest research into this phenomena

that factually exists

so what happens when some future bobby finds the remains of the elephant man? a medical abnormality and all the conspiracy theorists will think its proof of aliens visiting us? ... if aliens could travel here, they certainly wouldn't hide from us .... it would be like a company of US marines hiding from a amazon tribesman .... it doesn't make sense

One part I remember is that there are not really good odds
of meeting an alien civilisation because of how we exist in such a brief moment in time of the age of the universe.

2 civilisations are are likely to be far apart in light years -
assuming say a travelling speed of 10% of the speed
of light then our nearest star is 4 light years away -
it would take 40 years to get there & another
4 years to radio back a message.
Both civilisations would need to reach a point of high technology at the same time
to be able to communicate.
In other words - only radio communication between 2 alien civilisations would ever have the result of allowing them to meet.

A natural result of any advanced civilisation is that they have the power
to destroy themselves - the cold war was a good example for us.
That means that once a race of people develop radio communications
it's not longer after that they can also wipe themselves out.
This limits the time that they can send out signals .
For us it could have been as little as  1960 - 1895 = 65 years.

Anyway - Cosmos is a fascinating book & Carl Sagan was a man
100's of years ahead of us in his way of thinking.

10.7 Billion Year-Old Spiral Galaxy Stuns Astronomers



BX442 is so old that it shouldn't really be a spiral galaxy at all.

Over the past 22 years, the venerable Hubble space telescope has shown humanity a great many wonders from the distant past of our galaxy and universe. Now, continuing its mission to find the oldest and weirdest bodies in the universe, Hubble has pointed astronomers towards an odd spiral galaxy that looks to be around 10.7 billion years old. While spiral galaxies are by no means uncommon in the modern universe, this ancient spiral, named BX442, is the first of its kind to be seen so far back in spacetime.

Spotted by Hubble and refined by the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the elegantly-named BX442 perplexed astronomers when Hubble first picked it up. Being as old as it is, the galaxy shouldn't have such a refined spiral shape; if we're right about the Big Bang, the universe should've been too much of a hot mess back then to allow anything so pretty and defined to form. So what's up with BX442?

A team of researchers, writing in Nature, think they may have found the answer. According to David Law of the University of Toronto's Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, a lead author in the study, the explanation for BX442's weird shape lies in some quiet assistance from a small friend. In this case, that friend is a small dwarf galaxy floating around the outskirts of the spiral.

"You can get a little extra help if you've got a satellite galaxy orbiting around," said Law. "It gives that extra little gravitational kick to help accentuate the strength of the arm and make it into one of those eye-popping examples like the Whirlpool galaxy that you see all the pictures of."

"What we've learned when we look at galaxies at that epoch is that they're very dynamically hot," continued Law. "Even though we see some discs existing at that time, they're very thick and puffy, whereas the Milky Way has an... amount of random motion only about a tenth or so the amount of ordered rotation, giving rise to a very thin disc."

As the authors point out, BX442's spiral arms may have been a transient feature, a cosmological accident of sorts; further investigation into ancient galaxies should yield further clues. Armed with proof that spiral galaxies of this kind did indeed exist during the universe's relative infancy, Law and his colleagues are off to point Hubble at some more regions they suspect of harboring ancient galaxies. Is BX442 the only super-ancient spiral galaxy out there, or is its formation not as unique as it first appears?
