Articles
ETI Music detected by SETI by Roger Anderton
This article by Roger Anderton discusses the discovery of an Earth-like planet, Gliese 581c, and the intriguing possibility of 'ETI Music' being detected from it. Anderton explains that SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) is a diverse community, and while the SETINet webpage previously mentioned music received from this system, the link was later removed. Anderton, along with astronomer Peter Cheasley and nanotechnology expert Dr. James Watson, believes this music is indeed ETI and warrants further investigation. The article touches upon the historical concept of 'Music of the Spheres' by Pythagoras and contrasts the conventional numerical analysis used by SETI with the idea of analyzing radio signals in terms of music. It also draws a parallel to Galileo's struggles in presenting his astronomical findings, suggesting a similar fear or resistance to exploring unconventional ideas within modern astronomy.
The 2004 Mexico UFO Footag e- Fuel Aircrew Full Transcript
This extensive section provides the complete transcript of a surveillance flight by the Mexican Department of Defence on March 5, 2004. The transcript details the radar and FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) operator communications as they track multiple luminous objects. The aircrew discusses the objects' positions, speeds, and headings, expressing confusion and awe at their behavior, including their ability to stop and move at high speeds. The transcript highlights the difficulty in identifying the objects, with speculation ranging from aircraft to clouds. The conversation also includes attempts to contact ground control and discussions about potential landing sites. The segment is divided into several parts, indicating the duration of the encounter, and concludes with the objects disappearing from radar and visual contact.
Editorial Comment
An editorial comment applauds the extensive research by Bruce Maccabee on the Mexico UFO footage, particularly his analysis of the gas platform hypothesis. The commentator acknowledges dismissing this hypothesis too quickly and notes that Maccabee's research makes it feasible. The article mentions that the Mexican Air Force was asked to conduct another flight to verify if the lights were from distant platforms, but this has not yet happened, leaving the conclusion of the sighting open.

Article: The Relative Positions of the FLIR Images of Some of the Gas Burning Flames
This section discusses the use of FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) imaging in relation to UFO sightings, particularly in the context of the Rendlesham Forest incident and explanations involving gas platforms. The author questions whether the FLIR data fully accounts for all observed phenomena, including lights and radar returns, and suggests that conventional explanations like gas platforms may not be sufficient. The text also touches upon the bewilderment of aircrew and the lack of subsequent similar flights, hinting at potential reasons for the explanation's persistence.

UFO Reported in Pasto, Narino, Colombia (June 26, 2007)
Experts at the Observatorio Astronomico of the Universidad de Nariño are analyzing images of an "unidentified flying object" taken at a distance of over 500 kilometers. The object was photographed by a research team and remained visible for an hour. Alberto Quijano Vodniza, director of the observatory, described it as a strange body that was practically motionless for the entire duration. He noted it was neither an airplane nor a helicopter due to its lack of motion and the telescope's limitations. The observatory plans to forward the analysis, along with 400 sequential images compiled into an hour-long video, to an observatory in the United States for further study. Quijano also stated that images of this Pasto UFO would be forwarded to NASA experts.

NEW EVIDENCE PROVIDED BY WILLIAM RUTLEDGE, CDR OF THE APOLLO 20 CREW
This section, authored by Luca Scantamburlo, presents a detailed account of interviews with William Rutledge, who claims to be a former astronaut from the Apollo 20 mission. Rutledge, a 76-year-old man living in Rwanda, asserts he was employed by the USAF in collaboration with NASA during the 1970s for secret space missions.
Apollo 19 and 20 Missions
According to Rutledge, after the Apollo 17 mission (December 1972) and the "Apollo18-Soyuz" mission (July 1975), two other classified missions to the Moon took place: Apollo 19 (which failed) and Apollo 20 (August 1976). These missions, allegedly a collaboration between the US and the Soviet Union, were launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The goal was to explore a huge object discovered during the Apollo 15 mission on the Moon's backside, in the Delporte-Izsak region. Rutledge claims the Apollo 20 crew discovered a "huge and ancient alien spaceship."
Corroborating Evidence
Rutledge has uploaded videos to YouTube since April 2007, which he claims support his story. The article highlights official NASA pictures archived by The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) that show a cigar-shaped object on the far side of the Moon. Links to these images are provided.
"ALIEN SPACESHIP ON THE MOON flyover bef. landing APOLLO 20"
A YouTube video uploaded on May 4, 2007, features a presumed mission patch with a Latin inscription from Virgil's "Bucoliche." The patch also displays the names of the crew, a common NASA practice. The article notes that some footage in this video might be mixed with Apollo 11 recordings, possibly due to friends in Rwanda assisting with the transfer from analog to digital formats.
Historical Evidence Corroborates the Apollo 20 Story
Further evidence presented includes:
1. The Rockwell Corp. Logo on the Overalls: On June 18, 2007, Rutledge uploaded new evidence, including videos of the Apollo 20 launch pad, test EVA, and Snyder Ingress. In the Snyder Ingress test footage, technicians are seen wearing spacesuits, and one of them appears to have the Rockwell Corporation logo on their overalls, along with the NASA logo. The article notes that North American Rockwell (later Rockwell International) designed and built parts of the Saturn V rocket and the Apollo spacecraft.
2. Last Rutledge Footage: The Capsule Inside Looks Like an Apollo Spacecraft: A video uploaded on June 24, 2007, shows CSM 16mm footage through the AGC lens. The article compares the spacecraft controls and instruments in this footage with 35mm photos from the Apollo 17 Image Library, finding significant similarities. The mission patch on the presumed Apollo 20 spacecraft shows the union of the American and Soviet flags, which the author suggests makes sense given the Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975.
Analysis and Editor's Comment
Rutledge's report is described as coherent and plausible, demonstrating detailed knowledge of aerospace history, geology, and chemistry. The author notes a potential contradiction with the audio on a video being from the Apollo 11 mission, which Rutledge confirmed as a probable mixing issue. The article concludes by suggesting that if the Apollo 20 story is a hoax, it is elaborately staged. The editor, GH, admits limited knowledge of the Apollo missions but found the article of significant interest and well-researched, choosing to publish it while awaiting further time to tell.

USA: Unknown Objects (Photos) - Red Mountain Lookout, Cucamonga, California (June 8, 2007)
On June 8, 2007, at 7:15 p.m., two objects were photographed from Red Mountain Lookout in Cucamonga, California.

The objects were enlarged for clarity, and the witness describes them as "absolutely amazing."
Texas: Large Grey Disc Hovering (June 19, 2007)
On June 19, 2007, at 5:45 p.m., a witness driving south on State Highway 249 near Tomball, Texas, observed a large grey disc hovering just above pine trees. The object was described as symmetrical, bi-level, and approximately 20-30 feet above the trees. The witness watched for 10-15 seconds before traffic forced them to look away. No trace of the object was found afterward.
Culver, Oregon: International Space Station and Space Shuttle Sighting (June 20, 2007)

- Devon, UK (May 14, 2007): A recently retired police officer, trained as an air observer, reported seeing a distant silver colored round object that moved at high speed and increased in size before disappearing.
