A star watcher claims to have solved the mystery of the Tyneside UFO. Since it was spotted over Tynemouth on Monday night, social media has been rife with people trying to explain what the object was. Alex O’Neil is originally from Newcastle but is now studying for a Masters in Astrophysics at Sheffield University. After viewing the UFO video on the Chronicle’s website, he got in touch. He said: “The brightest star in the night sky is called Sirius and it is often mistaken for a UFO because of how bright it is and how low in the sky it is. “It appears to be twinkling or pulsating because when light passes through the atmosphere, it becomes distorted. “Viewing Sirius through a telescope can be very confusing because it appears to move and change colour. It is all just a trick of the eye.”SEE VIDEO AND READ MORE LINK-http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/mystery-tynemouth-ufo-been-solved-8456267

Not one UFO but two glowing objects were spotted by UFO researchers this week in a NASA photo dating from 1966 — almost 50 years ago — showing the final mission of the Gemini space project. But were these UFOs actually alien spacecraft keeping a watchful eye of the progress of human history as mankind took its first baby steps into space? Or is this latest UFO “discovery” just a flaw in a NASA photo from five decades ago? The find comes courtesy of the prolific YouTube UFO enthusiast Streetcap1, who spotted two multicolored dots on a NASA photo taken by Gemini XII, the final mission in the four-year Gemini program — an early phase of the U.S. space program that saw a number of significant “firsts” in the history of human space flight and exploration. The Gemini missions featured the first human spacewalk, the first docking of two space ships, and what was then the highest altitude at which a manned spacecraft had ever orbited the Earth — 850 miles. But UFO researchers now believe that this latest photographic find shows that all of those developments may have been closely witnessed by some kind of alien race far more advanced than our own — a race already capable not only of sending a man almost 1,000 miles into orbit, but of interstellar space travel.READ MORE LINK-http://www.inquisitr.com/1745459/ufo-nasa-gemini/-

The weird thing was it looked like a wingless plane flying sideways, a wide tube. Like a rolling pin. We all watched open-mouthed. “This wasn’t a lantern. It went from Ayrshire to Campsies (about 40 miles) in 60 secs. Passed right over us & we ran to other side of house. “Note: I’m not saying this was a UFO. I think a test plane only explanation. Mach 9 is now possible after all. But odd to see. “This was bigger than a jumbo jet. Vast as it passed our place and then shot off as orange flare again. “It also covered 40 miles in a minute, meaning a speed of approx Mach 3 or 4.” Despite Millar's sighting over Glasgow, it is a small town in the centre of Scotland which has earned its place as the UFO capital of the world. There are more than 300 sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects reported above Bonnybridge every year, with calls for an investigation into the paranormal town. Councillor Billy Buchanan says so many residents come to him with concerns about what is happening in the town’s skies that he has appealed to three prime ministers – David Cameron, Tony Blair and John Major – to order an urgent investigation. As yet no official investigation is underway. The Ministry of Defence say they are “satisfied that there is no evidence that the United Kingdom’s airspace might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised foreign military activity.” But mysterious sightings in the area known as the Falkirk Triangle, which branches from Bonnybridge to Stirling and Fife, continue. Everything from space ships landing to mysterious balls of light have been reported. Some unexplained sightings have even been caught on film.DESPITE being such a small nation, Scotland has been home to a remarkable number of UFO sightings over the years. There are hundreds of reports on mysterious objects over the nation's skies each year. Kick Ass creator Mark Millar is one of the latest Scots to have reported a strange sight in Glasgow over New Year. The comic book writer took to social media last week to reveal what he saw. He wrote: “I know this sounds mental, but did anybody else see that huge glowing object over Glasgow last night around 1am? Only 1 mention online. “We thought it was a firework at first but it never exploded & and just moved from South to North of city over 60 seconds.READ MORE AND SEE PHOTOS LINK-http://www.scotlandnow.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/scotland-ufo-capital-world-4922685
UFOs are by very definition impossible to define, we have no idea what they are. Just because something is called a 'UFO' does not make it an alien, it could be a drone, a break in the clouds or a duck with a flashlight on its head.
This footage was caught from BBC London and shows what appears to be a strange light appearing in the distance as a man is talking to the camera.
We'll be honest: we have no idea what it is. There's every possibility that it's an error on the camera, or a problem with the transmission.
If it isn't either of those, then the answers start to get a little stranger. Best guesses on a piece of paper by the end of the day.

It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane, so it must be…a UFO?
A YouTube video titled “UFO Crashing Releases Orb Over Southern California. Anyone Else See It?” has the Internet buzzing this week.
While at first it appears to be just another meteor crash misidentified as a UFO, the glowing orb-like object that shoots off in another direction at 0:17 adds a twist to the video that has people wondering: Could this be an actual UFO sighting?READ MORE LINK-https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-buzz/ufo-sighting-over-southern-california-real-183217873.html

The US government's Central Intelligence Agency has 'fessed up about reports of UFO sightings in the 1950s by playfully tweeting "it was us". It linked to a document entitled The CIA and the U-2 Program 1954-1974 (PDF), which was first published in 1998. The CIA decided to flag it up via its Twitter account because it had apparently proved to be a deeply popular read for conspiracy theorists hunting aliens in 2014.The 272-page document provided an interesting insight into what exactly went on in our skies during the '50s and '60s, when the CIA famously went dark (to use the spy lingo) when UFO sightings were reported. All of which spawned spurious tales of men in black (MiB) and extra-terrestrial beings. Since then, the CIA has claimed responsibility for more than half of all unexplained foreign objects spotted in the skies during those decades. Its secret U-2 spy plane flew at very high altitudes, which baffled ordinary folk on the ground, unaware at the time that such heights were possible for contemporary aircraft. The document explained how the secretive project started life in 1954: President Dwight D Eisenhower - determined to avoid another Pearl Harbor - authorised the construction of a new aircraft designed solely to fly over the Soviet Union and gather strategic intelligence. Peacetime reconnaissance flights over the territory of a potential enemy power thus became national policy. Moreover, to reduce the danger of conflict, the President entrusted this mission not to the armed forces, but to a civilian agency - namely the CIA. From that time forward, overhead reconnaissance has been one of the CIA's most important missions. Two question remains, of course: do you trust the US government's stats on its U-2 spyplane? And, anyway, if the CIA can only account for around half of all UFO sightings, then what the hell else was up there peering down on citizens of Planet Earth? ®
Was this a case of close encounters of the first of January kind during London’s spectacular fireworks display to mark the end of 2014? Eagle-eyed UFO spotters noticed the eerie green light hovering above the London Eye during BBC New Year's Eve coverage. Presumed sightings of the strange and unusual are not uncommon at this time READ MORE AND SEE VIDEO LINK-http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/hovering-ufo-spotted-london-new-4909723
