This amazing picture of the Martian landscape has got alien hunters excited about the possibility that it shows a silverback gorilla striking a pose on the Martian surface.

The image was taken by the Mars Spirit Rover in the Gusev crater, a crater over 100 miles in diameter that is thought to have once been a lake filled with liquid water.

It’s one of several images taken by Spirit that appear to show a gorilla knuckle-walking across the surface of the Red Planet.

Online sites devoted to searching through pictures of Mars for signs of life have long pointed to the picture as an example of an ‘anomaly’ that suggests Martian life.

Some exobiology enthusiasts have gone as far as speculating that the dark object to the left of the gorilla could be another ape-like creature, the two facing off against each other in an extraterrestrial ape fight. There’s even a YouTube video.

A Californian woman witnesses a bright beam of light and the image of a reptilian alien outside her window.

The following is the report from MUFON submitted on February 27, 2010. MUFON Case 22061.

I was reading a book and got a little tired, so I turned off the light and was just relaxing in the dark looking out into our yard. Last night the moon was overhead and lit up my backyard like a spotlight.

But suddenly I noticed, there was a definite separate beam of light about 3 feet across coming straight down in one part of my yard. The light beam ended up moving towards one of my windows then held there about 3 feet away from it. Our fruit tree in the backyard is covered in bright white flowers right now.

First on the tree I saw what looked like a wave, that caught my eye, like when the heat is coming off the blacktop on a hot summer day. It obscured part of the flowers, but the other flowers and trees in yard were clearly seen. I have high end energy efficient silvered windows that block 99% of the UV so that was really weird.

Then I saw 2 lights in the fruit tree. Little tiny like LED’s bright white, reminded me of when you take a flashlight and see the cat eyes looking back in reflection only much brighter. The lights were about the distance apart that eyes would be. I noticed because I wear glasses and they projected some light and they reflected off my lenses.

Then I saw what looked to be a projection on the white flowers on the fruit tree of a head and shoulders of a mottled brown and black reptile humanoid figure. It seemed to be mouthing words or something, no nose, reptile like folds where the nose would be, dark yellow eyes, it had a hand with 3 claws one was bigger than the other 2, it motioned while speaking. Teeth too, little points, they were white so they stood out against the color of the mouth.

I couldn’t hear anything, words or sounds for that matter. We have a marsh nearby and right now the frogs are mating so it is loud. I didn’t even hear that when this happened. After a few minutes the beam, image and eyes disappeared. I looked outside and saw an out of place blue, white star scintillating and then it disappeared.

If that star was projecting something and it hit my window from that angle then it would have hit the spot right there on my fruit tree. Never saw that before!

Defence officials’ insulting remarks about the public had to be blanked out of government UFO files before they were made public, a memo has revealed.

The Ministry of Defence had agreed to publish its full archive of reported sightings in response to a deluge of Freedom of Information Act requests.

But the once-secret memo, published on its website, reveals “uncomplimentary comments” were edited out.

Comments on international relations and defence technology were also deleted.

Thousands of pages from the department’s UFO files have been released through the National Archives since 2008, revealing details of reported flying objects and encounters with aliens.

The newly released memo to ministers and defence chiefs, dated September 2007, discusses how to make the largely “low security classification” information public.

It notes they “include references to air defence matters, defence technology, relations with foreign powers and occasional uncomplimentary comments by staff or police officers about members of the public, which will need to be withheld in accordance with FoI principles.”

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) recorded UFO sightings from the end of the Second World War until it shut its special investigation unit on 1 December last year.

Officials feared publishing only part of the information would “fuel accusations of a ‘cover-up’,” the document reveals.

“Contrary to what many members of the public may believe, MoD has no interest in the subject of extraterrestrial life forms visiting the UK, only in ensuring the integrity and security of UK airspace,” it says.

“The MoD is aware of no clear evidence to prove or disprove the existence of aliens, and consequently the files are considerably less exciting than the ‘industry’ surrounding the UFO phenomena would like to believe.”

The fifth instalment of MoD UFO files was released last week, revealing reports of a large triangular UFO hovering in the skies above former home secretary Michael Howard’s home near Folkestone, Kent, in March 1997.

A group of anthropologists working with hill tribes in a remote area of India have made a startling discovery: Intricate prehistoric cave paintings depicting aliens and UFO type craft.

The images were found in the Hoshangabad district of the state of Madhya Pradesh only 70 kilometers from the local administrative centre of Raisen. The caves are hidden deep within dense jungle.

A clear image of what might be an alien or ET in a space suit can be seen in one cave painting along with a classical flying saucer shaped UFO that appears to be either beaming something down or beaming something up, in what might be an ancient UFO abduction scenario. A force-field or trail of some sort is seen at the rear of the UFO.

Also visible is another object that might depict a wormhole, explaining how aliens were able to reach Earth. This image may lead UFO enthusiasts to conclude that the images might have been drawn with the involvement of aliens themselves.

Local Archaeologist, Mr Wassim Khan, has personally seen the images. He claims that the objects and creatures seen in them are totally anomalous and out of character when compared to other, already discovered, examples of prehistoric cave art depicting ancient life in the area. As such he believes that they might suggest beings from other planets have been interacting with humans since prehistoric times: Adding weight to the ‘ancient astronaut theory’ which postulates that human civilization was established with the assistance of benevolent space-faring aliens.

With the release of the fifth set of secret Ministry of Defense files now released to the public, we found Nick Pope’s (former MoD employee, now Guardian columnist) comment piece about the release very interesting.

Providing a unique insight into the UFO debate, we would like to share his article with you, in case you missed it. You can view the article at – UFOs: The (Boring) Truth is out There on guardian.co.uk.

There appears to be more of them out there… but we’ll never know for sure. Scotland saw a massive increase in UFO sightings last year – just as the Ministry of Defence cut off its UFO hotline.

Figures released under the Freedom of Information Act show there were 28 reported sightings of UFOs in Scotland last year. In the previous year, there were only ten, with nine in 2007.

Although some have an obvious ambiguity – the flying object seen near Edinburgh airport (it was white) or the one in Aberdeenshire reported as travelling “at the speed of an airliner” – there is a hard core that defy explanation.

But we can no longer rely on the MoD for early warning of a build-up in alien activity, as the only official hotline was closed last year to save money, and these will be the last figures published.

Malcolm Robinson, a UFO expert who founded Scottish research group Strange Paranormal Investigations, believes the hotline was crucial in finding a small number of sightings that may suggest truly bizarre objects flying in the sky.

He said: “I’m sad they’ve closed the desk. It’s up to people like myself and my colleagues in Scotland to continue to investigate what is going on.”

Among the callers in 2009 was a panicked man who reported a “bright orange bulb” in the sky in East Kilbride, which “came towards him like a tornado, then disappeared”. Another told how a “bright orange light approached at low level… then it turned red”.

The MoD says there is no defence benefit in investigating UFOs, so the hotline is an “inappropriate” use of resources.

A UFO sceptic was left terrified and running away so quickly he twisted his ankle, after seeing a mysterious craft and an otherworldly figure in Exmouth’s aptly-named Phear Park.

Retired engineer Roy Shaw was taking a night-time stroll with his dog, Sydney, when the close encounter happened.

He said: ‘The object was round, about 30ft in diameter and 100ft long, with blue and red flashing lights on its perimeter.

‘It appeared to land at the top end of the park by the bowling green. My dog started to growl when what I can only describe as a white shape came towards us.

‘It was about 4ft high and seemed to be translucent and moved very slowly towards us. I was transfixed because it made a droning noise, which sounded like “my, my”.’

Devon UFO expert Nigel Wright said: ‘This is a close encounter of the third kind – encountering an occupant of a UFO in close proximity to the craft. This is a really important sighting.’

However, Mr Shaw said he remained a sceptic and was at a loss to explain Saturday’s incident.

Astronomers have developed a technique to probe the atmospheres of distant planets which could help to identify signs of extraterrestrial life.

Using a small telescope in Hawaii, the international team were able to detect the presence of methane in the atmosphere of a hot planet the size of Jupiter which is 63 light years away.

Dr Giovanna Tinetti, an astrophysicist at University College London, said: “The final goal is to observe the atmosphere of a planet with the capability to support life. We are not there yet, but the possibility to use ground-based telescopes in combination with space-based observatories will speed up the work of studying exoplanet atmospheres.”

On Earth, excluding anthropogenic emissions, the dominant source of methane is from anaerobic bacteria, which inhabit wetlands and oceanic sediments. The planet being studied, named HD 189733b, is too hot to be considered a candidate for life and the methane is likely to arise from radiation fields in the atmosphere. A goal will be to find ways to distinguish between the two sources of methane.

The first exta-solar planet was observed 15 years ago and since then about 400 others have been detected.

New evidence from astrobiology “overwhelmingly” supports the view that life was seeded from outside Earth, a scientist has claimed.

Prof Chandra Wickramasinghe of Cardiff University says the first microbes were deposited on Earth 3,800m years ago.

The astrobiologist has helped developed the panspermia theory which suggests an extra-terrestrial origin for life.

He argues for a cycle of life as microbes find their way into comets and “multiply and seed other planets”.

In the article, published in the International Journal of Astrobiology, Monday, he argues humans and indeed all life on Earth is of alien origin, brought onto the planet by comets hitting the planet.

Prof Wickramasinghe, of Cardiff University’s centre for astrobiology, says there is a cyclical transfer process of life from planet to planet.

He believes comets hit planets and push living organic matter out into space, some of which survives and in turn gets transferred to developing planetary systems over a timescale of millions and millions of years, seeding life on the newly formed planets.

He accepts this model still does not explain how life actually began in the first place, but says there is no hard evidence to support the theory that life only began in a “primordial soup” on Earth, or other places.

Over the past three decades research has shown that large swathes of the Milky Way are strewn with gigantic dust clouds full of organic molecules, which some people have argued shows life emerging independently from new in these clouds.

In his paper, he says recent interpretation of spectra readings from the organic molecules found in interstellar clouds has indicated that they are in fact the remains of bacteria which has been broken down, rather than being built up.

“Interstellar clouds appear to be the graveyard of life not its cradle,” he said.

“Each time a new planetary system forms a few surviving microbes find their way into comets. These then multiply and seed other planets,” he said.

He adds: “We are thus part of a connected chain of being that extends over a large volume of the cosmos. Evidence is pointing inexorably in this direction.”

The professor and his late colleague Sir Fred Hoyle championed the panspermia theory from the 1960s.

When Andrew Kerr woke up yesterday morning, he felt a bit alienated from the rest of Albury in south Canterbury.

Not because he’s an Englishman in a country full of Kiwis, but because a large crop circle had appeared on his farm.

The unusual pattern had him wondering whether his insurance cover had an “alien policy”.

But Mr Kerr’s friends were the creative culprits.

“I was annoyed this morning but now I have to just have a laugh about it.”

His friends, who did not want to be named, told The Timaru Herald they donned balaclavas and dark hats to flatten the crop on Sunday night.

“It was more exciting because we thought that he might come out and catch us,” one said.

“He’s always the life of the party and always been the joker.”

So what would Mr Kerr do to his friends? That could not be revealed, but he made it clear that “revenge will be sweet”.
