Maybe the aliens took a wrong turn or maybe they just love a bit of history. But this UFO curious green light was seen hovering over a 19th century windmill in Norfolk.

The curious green light was spotted by photographer Peter Rye who wanted to take night-time images of Denver mill in Downham Market.

The landmark, which was built in 1835, is lit up at night and so Mr Rye set up his camera on a tripod to take long exposure pictures of the mill.

While he was there he didn’t hear or see anything unusual and it is only when he got home to King’s Lynn that he realised there was something odd about the images he’d taken.

The green light was on some images but not others indicating it was not a smudge on his lens and it appeared to have moved from right to left.

Plane? Helicopter? Gyrocopter? The theories abound in and around the villages close to the windmill, which is 30 miles from an RAF base, about what went on that February night.

Lindsay Abel, manager of the windmill, told Mail Online: ‘It is very strange it has to be said.’

She said the building was an aerial landmark for pilots and had even been used as a navigational tool during World War II.

‘The Germans used it in the war when they headed up to the Midlands to bomb,’ she said.

‘Maybe the UFO looking down saw these strange sails and wondered what the hell it was!’

Malcolm Robinson, founder of Strange Phenomena Investigations, said he thought the photograph showed a Chinese lantern.

He said: ‘[Chinese lanterns] can be from 2 to 6 feet across and a candle can be lit inside them whereupon the individual then releases them into the sky.

‘Chinese lanterns have given rise to many a false UFO report here in the UK.

‘What I think has happened here is that the paper which makes up the Chinese Lantern could have been made of green paper and the candle would shine through the green paper turning the image/light to green.

‘When photographed, the cold night air would intensify around the light making it blur for the camera.’

The 19th century windmill stopped working in 1941 when its sails were struck by lightning but has since been restored and is the last working windmill in Norfolk.

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.

A large triangular UFO was seen hovering in the skies above former home secretary Michael Howard’s home, according to Ministry of Defence files.

Government correspondence, local newspaper reports and details of an RAF investigation into the sighting near the MP’s home near Folkestone, Kent, all feature in UFO files released by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

Eyewitnesses in Burmarsh and New Romney saw the ”humming” object, the size of two passenger planes, near Mr Howard’s home on March 8 1997, when he was serving as home secretary for the Conservative government.

Sophie Wadleigh, 25, from Hythe, reported the sighting to the Folkestone Herald.

She told the newspaper: ”It was so peculiar, it all felt really odd and I heard this humming noise.

”As I looked across the field I saw a large triangular shaped flying craft hovering about 300 metres off the ground.”

Ji Lane, 23 and Christopher Lee, 27, also witnessed the incident.

Mr Lane said: ”It was crazy – I was getting a drink in the kitchen when I saw these strange lights in the sky just over the field across the road from our house.”

Mr Lee added: ”It was a lot longer than a plane and moved incredibly quickly – I have no idea what it was and we were both left speechless.”

Further newspaper cuttings reveal Chris Rolfe, co-ordinator of group UFO Monitoring East Kent (UFOMEK), warned at the time the UFO could have been looking for Mr Howard.

Mr Rolfe said: ”It would seem the UFO was disinterested in Sophie, the girl who reported it and watched it for quite a long time.

”This certainly makes it seem like it had a purpose and has left me wondering if its purpose had something to do with Mr Howard.”

UFOMEK compiled its own report on the sighting and sent it to the Prime Minister, Home Office and Ministry of Defence.

An eyewitness account in the UFOMEK report said: ”It was just a huge triangle thing, which was a lot bigger than an aeroplane or anything like that.

”It had lights all around the outside, and this disc attached to the back, and a big light on the front. I pulled up to a stop and as I did it shot off.”

It went on: ”I was really frightened by it and I’m not stupid. I don’t believe in anything like that (UFOs). This is not something I’ve ever seen before or like something we would have built.”

An RAF investigation into the sighting was undertaken, but the findings found nothing unusual The Air Defence inquiry said there was ”no such security incident” involving Mr Howard or and ”no such military activity reported anywhere, and, specifically, in the Kent/Folkestone area”.

The report added: ”Additional inquiries have confirmed that no unusual or unauthorised air activity, civil or military, was reported or observed in that area on that date.”

MoD responses to queries related to the alleged sighting said there was ”no evidence” to suggest a security breach.

One letter addressed to an un-named individual said: ”Your letters mention a UFO sighting over the home of the former home secretary Michael Howard, near Folkestone.

”Although the MoD has received reports of an alleged ‘UFO’ sighting near Michael Howard’s home on March 8 1997, MoD Air Defence staff have confirmed that there is no evidence to suggest any unauthorised incursion of the UK Air Defence Region on that date.”

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.

INCREDIBLE pictures of ‘UFO clouds’ have reignited space-lovers hopes that there is extra-terrestrial life after they hit the internet showing eerie illuminated discs in the sky which look like alien spaceships.

Most of the pictures are from Indonesia but there have been similar sighting in Moscow, Romania, Florida and elsewhere in 2009.

Possible theories circulating include aliens, secret military experiments or natural consequences of climate change.

In the film ‘Independence Day’, extraterrestrial spaceships hid behind odd round clouds. UFO expert and author Hartwig Hausdorf said: “This film idea is based on reports that we have from an uncountable number of eyewitnesses.”

Weather forecaster Karsten Brandt looked at the photos. Her opinion is that they are “not fakes but explainable natural phenomenon”.

In Indonesia a very high thundercloud could have been filmed in the sunlight, almost at the edge of the atmosphere.

The Moscow photos looked to him like two layers of clouds lying on top of one another, where the upper cloud was illuminated.

And in Romania he said that the air could have fallen into a circular shape around a middle layer of cloud, like a slow twirl.

And experts warn that competing radio transmissions could be confusing to aliens and are little more than space spam, AFP reported.

The messages – which include images of genitals and appeals for money – may even be deemed as a threat by aliens.

European Space Agency (ESA) astrophysicist Malcolm Fridlund advised caution about drawing attention to ourselves.

“I’m not lying awake at night worrying about the overlords of the galaxy or anything like that,” he told AFP, “but when you don’t know of anything that’s out there, you should maybe be a little careful, you should know something about the (star) system first.”

His comments echo those made at a conference on alien life at the Royal Society in London this week.

“A lot of the stuff is very responsible, but I do wonder about some of the other stuff that’s being transmitted,” Albert Harrison, a professor of social psychology at the University of California at Davis, said at the meeting.

“There’s pictures of celebrities, of two political candidates – one identified as good, the other identified as evil – snack-food commercials, love letters to rock stars and so on.”

He added: “When you start broadcasting and drawing attention to yourself, you have to be very cautious about the image you give. We might appear as a threat to them.

The thirst for contact with alien civilizations has a long history.

The US probes Pioneer 10 and 11, launched in 1972 and 1973, bear plaques of a naked man and woman and symbols seeking to convey the positions of the Earth and the Sun.

Voyager 1 and 2, launched in 1977 and now on the outer fringes of the Solar System, each carry a gold-plated copper phonogram disk with recordings of sounds and images on Earth.

But it will take around 40,000 years for Voyager 1, the most distant man-made object in space, to get anywhere close to a star.

Space enthusiasts have since discovered active SETI, which uses active powerful radio astronomy transmitters to beam out messages to interesting stars or extrasolar planets. The transmitters are operated by space agencies or institutions, which in some cases are paid for the service.

Messages range from the earnest and the philosophical to the cerebral, such as an “Interstellar Rosetta Stone” of symbols that give information about Earth and Homo sapiens.

The missives include the jokey: “Please send money. Any kind of money. Universal money is OK. Alien currency OK. Meteorites are good. Gold, Moon rocks, space junk also good. Send to: Maura, Planet Earth.”

And there is the political: an image of George W. Bush as the personification of evil, juxtaposed against Barack Obama as the embodiment of good, sent out by X-Files actress Gillian Anderson.

Any life forms at Epsilon Eridani and Tau Ceti, meanwhile, will receive recordings of the vaginal contractions of ballerinas with the Boston Ballet, a renegade 1980s art project aimed at giving the galaxy an idea of human conception.

Fridlund said that in the absence of any evidence so far that extraterrestrial life exists of any kind, active SETI may well be a waste of time – but still recommends a cautious approach to dealing with the unknown.

Those who share his concern include the British cosmologist Stephen Hawking, who suggests “we should keep our heads low,” given any possibility of encountering a hostile, technologically superior civilization.”

Residents in Harbour Mille, a tiny community on Newfoundland’s south coast, want to know what they saw in the sky Monday night.

Darlene Stewart said she was outside taking pictures of the sunset when she saw something fly overhead.

She snapped a picture of the object in an attempt to zoom in on it to see what it was.

“Even with the camera, I couldn’t make it out until I put it on the computer,” she told CBC News. “I knew then it wasn’t an airplane. It was something different.”

Stewart’s picture shows a blurry image of what appears to be some kind of missile-like object emitting either flames or heavy smoke.

Emmy Pardy also saw the object.

“It appeared to come out of the ocean,” she told CBC News. “It was like it was in the middle of the bay.”

An RCMP officer was in the community Tuesday to investigate the reports.

Pardy said she’d like to know what the object was.

“It’s kind of scary because you don’t know if something is being set off out in the bay, [or] if someone is doing experiments,” she said.

The residents plan to be outdoors again Tuesday evening to see if there is a similar sight in the sky.
