A clearer photo of the mysterious unidentified flying object in Texas
This is bizarre. A 16-year-old girl saw a giant black ring in the sky above England and captured it on video. After three minutes of floating around like a cloud, the black ring disappeared completely. So far, experts have no idea what it was.
UK Ministry of Defence’s UFO department was disbanded three years ago, had ‘no defense purpose’
Posted in: Today's ChiliNational Archive documents recently released show that the UK government’s very own UFO department, which had reported on sightings for over 50 years, was shut down three years ago. The department apparently never revealed any “potential threats” to the country, so the Ministry of Defence closed both the hotline and email address that fielded the public’s sightings of UFOs. A civil servant briefed the current defence minister, Bob Ainsworth, saying: “The level of resources diverted to this task is increasing in response to a recent upsurge in reported sightings, diverting staff from more valuable defence-related activities.” The recently released files also covered some of the sightings reported from across the UK in 2009, which included, perhaps unsurprisingly, Stonehenge.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation launched The Vault two years back. It contains scanned documents that have been made avaialble to the public under the Freedom of Information Act. It contains files on a plethora of topics, but the most popular record up till now is a single page memo called the Guy Hottel memo. Yes, it is an X-File.
The memo describes a report of a third hand account of three 50 foot wide flying saucers being discovered in New Mexico. Three bodies were supposedly also discovered, they were of human shape but only three feet tall. Given people’s fascination with extra terrestial life, this particular memo is the most read piece in The Vault. FBI only deemed it fit to reply, effectively saying that the Guy Hottel memo is not proof of another intelligent life form. They do reveal that J.Edgar Hoover had tasked the FBI to investigate UFO sightings after the Roswell incident in 1947. Insofar as the Guy Hottel memo is concerned, the source in the report was deemed so unreliable that the agency did not investigate the matter any further. “The mystery remains”, so says the FBI. Cue conspiracy theories.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Nah, it is neither, but rather, chances are your neighbors and kids in the vicinity would be looking at the $14.95 Spaceman VFO Hand Sensor Electric RC Helicopter UFO. I am not quite sure just how true the claim of this being “the most advanced RC toy ever” is, but basically, it will be able to float around in a stationary manner just like that of a UFO as depicted in popular culture.
Well, the Spaceman VFO Hand Sensor Electric RC Helicopter UFO does not need you to have any kind of piloting credentials, as all you need to control it around would be the up and down movement with the IR transmitter. Of course, as its name suggests, you too, will be able to erly on the palm of your hand to control it, where placing your hand under the hovering helicopter in ‘sense mode’ will see some kind of modern day magic at work.
If you are feeling rather adventurous, then just turn off the lights when dusk falls, and you will be treated to a light show. Those who do not know that you own the Spaceman VFO Hand Sensor Electric RC Helicopter UFO might actually call the cops and say make a report of a UFO being in the neighborhood! It runs not on an alien energy source, but rather, will rely on old school AA batteries to keep it going.

R/C UFO Ball Copter
Posted in: Today's ChiliI am quite sure that folks who live near Roswell or Area 51 would have had their fair share of run ins with UFOs in the past, so much so that these have ended up being “normal” to them that the sight of a UFO no longer piques their interest as life goes on. Well, for there rest of the conspiracy theorists out there, perhaps the $39.99 R/C UFO Ball Copter might be just the thing to revitalize that flagging spirit of yours when it comes to having something that keeps you going on.
The R/C UFO Ball Copter is ideal to scare not only the neighbors but kids as well, where it sports LED lights for that added touch of alien-inspired night flights. Of course, do expect plenty of grainy images starting to appear in the local papers as well as Facebook accounts and Instagram posts when you start taking out this bad boy for a spin – it is a given. Sporting an advanced intelligent balance system and all round 3 channel control, the R/C UFO Ball Copter will be powered by half a dozen AA batteries, and will not carry the threat of an anal probe, either.
