UFO hunters plan bizarre event to summon alien spaceships to Scotland
OUT OF THIS WORLD OUT OF THIS WORLD UFO hunters plan bizarre event to summon alien spaceships to Scotland ALIEN hunters are planning to summon spaceships to Scotland - but not how you might expect. The bonkers plan will see a team of paranormal investigators descend on the site of Scotland's most famous UFO incident later this month. Advertisement 4 UFO fans are going to use a special meditation technique to summon spaceships 4 Paranormal investigator Malcolm Robinson is trialling the method for the first time 4 The session will be held at Dechmont Woods where Bob Taylor encountered a "spaceship" 4 An artist impression of the spaceship Bob saw They will try to make 'peaceful contact' with extraterrestrials by using a specialist technique developed by a famed US ufologist. And the approach involves by meditating in a field and playing sci-fi sound effects. Malcolm Robinson, of Strange Phenomena Investigations, has high hopes the plan could work after participants saw 'flashing lights' during a trial run. He said: 'We are trying to bring any off-world craft into our airspace. Advertisement "There is a desire to bring forward these objects which people claim to be UFOs or UAPs. The meditation will send out a desire for open contact. 'In the background we play these special sound effects which help to enhance the mood but also the meditative process. 'It all sounds very airy-fairy, I get that, but this has been tried successfully all over the world.' The CE5 method - known as the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind protocol - was developed by Dr Steven Greer, founder of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Advertisement The alien enthusiasts will attempt to communicate using telepathy and guided meditations which followers believe will help guide UFOs to the spot at at Dechmont Woods, near Livingston, later this month. The site is famous for a 1979 incident during which forestry worker Bob Taylor reportedly had an encounter with a spacecraft. UFO Encounters: Earth's Most Active Extraterrestrial Hotspots He reputedly saw mysterious dome-shaped objects land in a clearing. According to the teetotal churchgoer, metal spikes then dropped down and attached themselves to his trousers. Advertisement He later woke in dishevelled state before going to cops. Baffled investigators were unable to establish what caused unusual marks seen on the ground. But detectives bagged up Bob's torn trousers as they probed whether he had been assaulted. The respected war hero continued to maintain he had been attacked by a 'spaceship thing' until his death aged 88 in 2007. Advertisement Mr Robinson hopes investigators will be able to attract aliens back to the site with their meditation later this month. A trial run has already taken place on the outskirts of Bonnybridge, near Falkirk, which is considered one of the world's UFO capitals. Mr Robinson said: 'Some people did see some bright flashes in the sky. They came from various parts of the sky. We don't know what that was. It could have been anything. 'But the only reason I'm not singing and dancing about it is it there may have been a natural explanation.' Advertisement We previously told how investigators have demanded a public inquiry in Scotland into the existence of UFOs. The alien enthusiasts believe any evidence of sightings should be made public and heard in front of a parliamentary committee. Bonnybridge, within the Falkirk Triangle, is said to have up to 300 UFO sightings each year. Police Scotland has also documented hundreds of reports of unidentified flying objects, aliens or extraterrestrial activity across the country.

Eerie hidden world discovered by alien-hunting space telescope is first of its kind – and scientists nearly missed it
While thousands of exoplanets - planets outside of our solar system - have been discovered, getting pictures of them still proves tricky ON THE ROCKS Eerie hidden world discovered by alien-hunting space telescope is first of its kind – and scientists nearly missed it THE James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first-ever exoplanet - a distant world hidden by the glare of its nearest star. The landmark discovery marks a new era for alien-hunters, according to a new study from the Paris Observatory and the University Grenoble Alpes, published in Nature today. 2 The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been floating in space since 2021, and is now just over 1million miles away from Earth Credit: NASA The newly discovered exoplanet, named TWA 7 b, is in the debris disk of a young star. These disks are made up of dust and small rocks that are left over after a planet has formed. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been floating in space since 2021, and is now just over 1million miles away from Earth. For scale, that's more than 4.5 times the distance between our planet and the Moon. While it has detected other planets - these have all be previously known to astronomers on the ground. TWA 7 b is pretty big and is a similar size to Saturn, the second largest planet in our solar system. However, it still could have been easily missed, as researchers say it is one of the lightest planets ever detected. JWST's keen eye is set to enable scientists to capture images of less massive planets that are more comparable to Earth in size. While thousands of exoplanets - planets outside of our solar system - have been discovered, getting pictures of them still proves tricky. Many exoplanets lurk in the shadows of their nearest star, and therefore don't stand out enough to be visible, according to researchers. Best-ever sign of ALIEN life found on distant planet as scientists '99.7% sure of astounding biological activity signal' However, a French-produced coronagraph onboard the JWST - a tool used to block the light of a star to see nearby planets - made the new discovery possible. While it doesn't provide a direct picture of the planet, you can see its effects in the circles labelled CC #1 in the image. By masking the star, scientists have better hope of observing the objects surrounding it. The James Webb Space Telescope: an overview The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space-based observatory that is designed to complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope. It is named after James E. Webb, who was the administrator of Nasa from 1961 to 1968 and played a pivotal role in the Apollo program. JWST is equipped with a 6.5-meter primary mirror, which is significantly larger than Hubble's 2.4-meter mirror, allowing it to observe much fainter objects at greater distances. It operates in the infrared spectrum, which enables it to peer through dust clouds that obscure visible light and to observe the earliest galaxies that formed after the Big Bang. The telescope was launched on 25th December 2021 and is positioned at the second Lagrange point (L2), approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. This location provides a stable environment with minimal interference from Earth's heat and light. JWST's scientific goals include studying the formation of stars and planets, understanding the evolution of galaxies, and investigating the potential for life in other parts of the universe. It is a collaborative project involving Nasa, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The debris disk surrounding TWA 7's star is very clear, coming up a bright whiteish yellow in the image. It forms a near perfect disk, except for the top right corner along the R2 dotted line. It's here where the exoplanet is hiding, nearly completely obscured by the brightness of its star and nearby debris.

Eerie Roswell crash memo holds key to cracking UFO mystery after ‘FOUR alien bodies found,' expert insists
A BIZARRE memo about the Roswell UFO crash could unlock secrets and expose the truth about the 'flying saucer' mystery. A prominent ufologist made the startling claim after aliens were rumored as being spotted dead among the wreckage. 6 The mystery material was recovered from the Roswell site after a 'flying disk' apparently crashed in the New Mexico desert in 1947 Credit: Getty 6 A Ufologist believes this photo of a memo may be key to cracking the case Credit: Kevin Randle and Philip Mantle The so-called Roswell Incident happened on July 2, 1947, in a remote desert area in New Mexico. Conspiracy theories and mystery swirling the alleged crash have fascinated UFO watchers for nearly 80 years. Back in 1947, the 509th Bomb Group - based in Roswell - released a However, confusion ensued after that release was later retracted, and replaced with a statement saying the object was in fact a high altitude weather balloon. READ MORE US NEWS The news alert had initially been issued by 1st Lt. Walter Haut, the public information officer at the base. Decades later, his daughter, Julie Shuster, was adamant that his original 'flying disk' statement had been accurate. But he had to keep everything "secret." A similar view has been expressed by veteran researcher Kevin Randle, a prominent ufologist who is regarded as one of the top experts on the reported crash. Most read in The US Sun Former army officer admits he saw ' beat up ALIEN the size of a 10-year-old child' after world famous Roswell UFO crash Randle has written multiple books about UFOs and the He's adamant that he has 'eliminated all possible terrestrial explanations." 'What we can say with authority is that something fell at Roswell,' he said. 'We have eliminated all the terrestrial explanations." The expert, who served in the Air Force and National Guard, said the UFO case could be solved by delving into a historic memo. 6 The site of the Roswell crash Credit: Reuters 6 Expert Kevin Randle has spent years investigating the reported UFO crash Credit: Kevin Randle The eerie memo can be seen in a black and white photograph sent out on the news wires at the time. The grainy note appears to say the words 'victims of the crash.' The memo itself can be seen in the old pic being held by Brigadier General Roger Ramey, who at the time of the crash was commanding officer of the 8th Air Force in Roswell. Ramey is holding the piece of paper slightly turned away from the camera. But, fortunately, some words can now be read using technology. KEY MEMO 'The Ramey memo could be the key to this whole thing," Randle said. 'Ramey was holding the memo in his hand when he was photographed with the debris in his office. 'And what's interesting is we know when the picture was transmitted over the wire, we know who took it and we can see Ramey is holding the document in his hand. 'So we pretty much have the provenance nailed down. 'There are words in the document when you blow it up, that you can read. 'Some people interpret the critical line as saying 'victims of the wreck.' 'Well, 'victims of the wreck' takes it out of the realm of a weather balloon - but it's kind of an interpretation of what you see." Randle has interviewed some 600 people over the past few decades in his search to establish the truth around the mysterious case. POLITICAL HOAX He has concluded that the weather balloon story is nothing but a "government hoax" to fob off those intrigued by UFO sightings. Randle said, 'What they've said officially is that the Roswell crash was a weather balloon and [radar-type] target from this experiment being conducted in New Mexico. "What I discovered is that while [the radar-type] targets were a part of the experiments conducted on the east coast, when they got to New Mexico, they didn't use those targets. "That kind of points the finger at this being a government hoax to explain away the Roswell case.' KEPT SECRET Julie Shuster, Walter Haut's daughter, told She said before her death in 2015, 'People began to talk about Roswell in the late '70s after several decades of keeping quiet. "I would ask dad to tell me the whole story, and he told me the same thing he told everybody: 'I put out the press release', and nothing else." It was not from this Earth, it was something manufactured off this Earth. Walter Haut, ex-public information officer, Roswell It later emerged that Haut had been sworn to secrecy by base commander and close personal friend, Colonel William Blanchard. But, Haut was unhappy about keeping such a big secret, and prepared a signed affidavit to be opened after his death. Originally from Chicago, Illinois, he died in Roswell in 2005. 'Basically dad said yes, he did see the bodies, yes he did see the craft and much more than that,' said Shuster. 'At one point I asked him about the size, and he said the craft was about 25 feet in diameter." EGG-SHAPED Thomas Carey, who co-authored a book with Shuster, Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the Government's Biggest Cover-Up, published in 2007, said his big secret "all came out in his sealed statement after he died." Carey added, 'The ship which he described was about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, more of an egg-shaped object, and he did see a number of bodies. 'He described them as being the size of children. "And when asked point blank if what he believed it was that he had seen, without hesitation he'd say, 'It was not from this Earth, it was something manufactured off this Earth.'' A retired cop claimed that he saw the remains of dead aliens being lifted with a crane and hauled away. Former Deputy Sheriff Charles H Forgus of Howard County, Texas , recalled traveling to Roswell to pick up a prisoner with Sheriff Jess Slaughter. Forgus claimed he saw four alien bodies with big eyes and brownish-colored skin being taken away by military personnel. 6 Kevin Randall has been researching Roswell since the 1980s 6 Sheriff Jess Slaughter was with Deputy Sheriff Charles Forgus at the time of the discovery Credit: Philip Mantle
