Red-Orange Orb UFOs



We hear a lot about saucer-shaped UFOs, cigar-shaped ones, even triangular and pentagonal, but we don't talk publicly about another oddity in the sky, the red-orange lights. 

May 22, 2012, I was out in the desert between Maricopa and Mobile, Arizona with a friend. My friend builds telescopes and he brought one with him to show me what it's like to look through one.

We set up his telescope and studied the stars. My friend brought out a laser pointer and was showing me constellations. When we were done, he began disassembling the device and I watched the skies still. There were only random planes in the distance, nothing else happening in the dark sky. 

Then, around 9:30, I was looking in the direction of some distant small mountains and across the empty country roadway that had a train track running parallel with it. I saw a red-orange light shaped like a ball in the distance, then it went out and another one showed up, but much closer. Then, it went out, and other one showed up even closer. It looked to me like two lights leap-frogging each other up along the roadway, above the train track power lines that ran along them. My first thought was "are the lines sparking?" But, the lights silently came closer and closer until I moved my body a bit, poised, ready to duck if I had to. Each light orb was the same red-orange color, perfectly round, the light contained within and not glowing out and around them. 

I called to my friend, when the lights stopped. He wondered if I had misread some lights, but knowing the area, what was there (or not there, it was a lonely desert location), I knew I saw something very odd. There was no sound, the lights did not glow on anything around them, and the light seemed so organic, that I had to wonder if it was some kind of odd natural phenomena.

Then, as my friend was opened up his car to put the parts of the telescope in, I looked up and saw the lights again, further in the distance. I called out to him and he lifted his head and saw them. One light was on, then another light came on not too far from it, but then the first one went out and the second one. They seemed to be doing some kind of chase of each. To me, it felt like two separate objects lighting up, but in retrospect, it could have been the same one turning off as the main object moved and then its light came back on. 

At this point, I was excited. Now, it seemed like not a quirky set of conditions, but an actual purposeful happening. I clapped and got excited, asking it to show itself again. My friend, however, was very unsettled. He rushed to put the telescope parts into the car when it happened again. I pointed into the distance. They were there again, a bit higher in the sky, one light that seemed to split into two lights, at least it gave that impression from our viewpoint. They were there only a few seconds before they went out again, one after the other. I studied the sky and saw nothing else, no plane lights, not a thing. The sky was very dark. 

My friend went to the car, opened the driver's door and said he wanted to go. I told him we weren't going to leave his telescope and nothing had hurt us, let's just see what it does. Then, it started again. I got very excited to witness it yet again in a different location once again. They continued to be across the road and further down, below the distant outline of the mountains, but each time, they were either much more left or right or higher or lower on the horizon. After it doing this every few minutes, lasting a few seconds, it seemed to stop. All in all, it ran about a half hour.

As we drove off into the night, my friend asked. "What time is it?" I looked. "10:30." I told him. "We didn't miss any time, did we?" I felt certain we could account for our entire encounter, but I realized the episode unsettled him. I looked into the sky as we drove off, wondering if we we would see these orbs again, but we didn't. 

I can only describe them as a basketball with a florescent red-orange liquid inside that made them glow from within, not like taillights on cars that have a spray of light around them and seem rather flat. These seem globe-shaped and organically lit. They did not stay on long but when they went out, they didn't flicker in the least. They were very consistently lit.

I've seen a lot of UFOs in the Arizona desert, but this particular event was so unusual. It didn't involve a craft per se, but something that seemed rather biologic or organic. I have no way of explaining why it felt that way, but the actions of the lights and the quality of them were not like anything I had a point of reference for.


Someone else's encounter

I started researching other's encounters to look for commonalities.

Description: 6 moving lights that appeared to be glowing, as if it was a lit candle, went across the sky. They one by one disappeared as the traveled. I have never see anything like this nor can I explain what it was - it didn't seem to be a plane or helicopter, nor can I understand why they would be all together traveling. There were no motor sounds, it was completely silent.

Description: "Noticed a single redish-orange fireball rising from eastern horizon from San Diego city center," the witness stated. "At first it looked like an asteroid, but it was going up instead of down. Shortly after a second appeared from horizon following same path as the first. Then there was a third. I ran to get my wife so I wasn't the only one who saw."

Description:"First thing I noticed, it was a cloudless star-lit night," the witness stated. "This orange light was moving slowly across the sky, slowing down, then moving again. Also while we watched the light, would turn a little red. We watched for about three or four minutes, then it almost stopped and then started going straight up. We looked at each other in disbelief as it then vanished into the sky."

Description:  “I was walking back to our bungalow on the beach in Bang Saphan, Thailand with my girlfriend, after dinner, and looked up into the sky to see if it might begin to rain. As I looked up, an orange-red orb (maybe 3X the size of a night-time star – not very large), “zig-zagged” above VERY quickly and disappeared in the clouds/horizon.”

Description: “3 red-orange glowing orbs moving in sky, hovered then moved again, from Wimberly Texas area toward Seguin Texas Area, Disappeared in sky directly above where I and others stood watching!”

Description:  “We were sitting outside our beach house looking over the ocean. Initially, we saw one orange/red light that began as a glow and got brighter until fading to dim, and then disappearing completely. It was a circular/sphere shape.”
“I saw the same thing in Athens, Texas at approximately 11:40 pm on 12/31/2011. There was a very large red/orange orb that traveled from approximately North/Northwest to South/Southeast. It had no flashing lights on it and no tail. It addition, another light followed it and then seemed to be traveling straight up.”

Being a bit of a dork on these matters, I thought I'd try to retroengineer this phenomena by looking at what chemicals recreate red-orange lights. The longer wavelengths for that color light appear to be 600-700 nanometers and the chemicals utilized by fireworks for that color are strontium salts or lithium carbonate for red and calcium chloride for orange. 

If you mix lithium and calcium you get calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is found in limestone, marble, chalk and travertine. Seashells are major source of calcium carbonate. Curious what happens if your burn calcium carbonate, I found out this - Burning is usually understood to mean an oxidation reaction that releases energy. Calcium carbonate is already fully oxidized, so it will never burn. When heated to 840 degrees Celsius, calcium carbonate dissociates to form calcium oxide (quicklime) and carbon dioxide. This reaction absorbs energy.

Now it gets more interesting - if you mix strontium and calcium you get phosphorescence!  This is used for luminescent paints. You can mix sulphur and oyster shells at high heat in a container and get this glowing light reaction.

That intrigued me because of the high incidence of reports of USOs or UFOs that appear and disappear into the ocean. Sulphur is found near hot springs and volcanic areas/volcanic vents. The incidence of UFOs reported near volcanic areas is high not to mention the amount of volcanic vents in the ocean! Are they utilizing our simple earth elements in ways that create energy or reactions that they need to traverse the seas and skies?

Should we be holding up UFO witness report maps up against maps of oceans/volcanic areas/limestone areas?

UFO's and volcanoes -







I recently wrote about UFOs and severe storms. Now, it's entirely possible that people are seeing debris caught in storms or spewed from volcanoes as UFOs, but that doesn't answer all these incidents. A large volcano in California, Mt. Shasta, has long been associated with UFOs, aliens, and hidden worlds. Where there are legends that are repeated, there is some historic validity within. 

If we look at where UFOs are seen, we might begin to understand what they need, what they want. If you were driving on a long road trip in your car, where you stop off might say a lot about your priorities. If we photograph and see you at gas stations off the main freeway, we can guess you might be looking for fuel. If gas stations are only found along roadways, we can assume you must traverse the roadways to get what you want.



UFO's beneath the water's surface - could easily utilize volcanic vents for sulphur and calcium carbonate seashell debris from the floor of the ocean if those were necessary fuels for travel, giving the very chemical reaction away every time you see the glowing balls of red-orange lights.

Adding to the mystery, the encounters I have had with alien greys, as much as I'm uncomfortable talking about it, included them leaving in a red-orange light that seemed to be somehow biological and not from the outside. They were not beamed up onto a ship as we would imagine, but it did seem to take some of their concentration and focus to make this sort of "fusion" happen. The light was dense and then sort of speckled as if the very atoms that make them up were moving at a low frequency. It was hard to describe but the core of the light came from the chest area and spread up and down and out. It was clearly this same red-orange color. If much of what they do has to do with this process, then perhaps we can assume that within their own bodies they possess sulphur and calcium? Just a thought, but yet another part of the puzzle to work on. 

Source:  Bioluminescence is not a rare phenomenon in marine life. Nature has its own way of putting up a magnificent show of light where sunlight cannot penetrate. The depths of the oceans are home to a variety of bioluminescent species of fish, bacteria, fungi and plants. Bioluminescent creatures on land such as fireflies, glow worms and fungi, in comparison, are a rare occurrence.

As vague as bioluminescence in humans may sound, recent scientific research has successfully proven that the human body emits very low intensity light which is invisible to the naked eye. Japanese scientists Daisuke Kikuchi and Masaki Kobayashi from the Tohoku Institute of Technology are the minds behind the proof of bioluminescence in humans.

With the aid of a highly sensitive imaging CCD (charge-coupled device) camera, these researchers were able to capture the very first images of human bioluminescence. It is no secret to science that living organisms are capable of producing negligible amounts of light resulting from cellular chemical reactions; however, capturing this low intensity bioluminescent light from humans was considered as an impossible feat. Nevertheless, this recent achievement comes as a breakthrough in the field of biology.

Dr. Gary Schwartz has also conducted experiments where he detected and recorded biophotons from plants and humands.

Experimenting Bioluminescence In Humans

Researchers Daisuke Kikuchi and Masaki Kobayashi used a very sensitive CCD camera to observed the upper bodies of the volunteers over a period of days.

The startling observations made during the process of this experiment include:

1. The human body emits light which is invisible to the naked eye; this light is precisely a 1000 times weaker than the human eye can perceive.
2. The human body emits light rhythmically and directly.
3. The light emitted by the human body is at its highest intensity late in the afternoon and it is at its lowest intensity late at night.
4. The forehead, cheeks and neck are the areas of the human body from which light of the brightest intensity is emitted as compared to other body parts.
5. It was also noted that the brightest areas noticed upon thermal imaging of the human body did not correspond with the brightest areas on these images of human bioluminescence.

Just as bioluminescence occurs due to chemical metabolic reactions in other known bioluminescent creatures, bioluminescence occurs in humans due to metabolic reactions as well. When cells of the human body respire, they produce highly reactive free radicals. These free radicals interact with free floating protein and lipids. This reaction can, at times, lead to further interaction with fluorophores in the human body, which leads to the emission of light.

Since human bioluminescence occurs at such a low intensity, it is very unlikely that this feature will serve any evolutionary purpose. Probably upon further research and study of this phenomenon, the practical applications of human bioluminescence may develop.


We emit light like other bio-luminescent life forms on earth, but we simply haven't the eyesight range to be able to view it. 




We might call this "auras" but if living organisms can utilize chemicals within to create a light from within, how might that be applied in the process of metabolic change to shift frequencies and thus shift universes? It's a thought and also a sign of potential science behind the utilization of natural earth elements to do many things that ancient man seemed to understand forgotten and that aliens might utilize today - here on our own planet. 

I can take this even further and state that perhaps the use of a charge-coupled device camera might be ideal for looking for "other worldly" types from ghosts to Bigfoot, UFOs and more. In fact, Bigfoot might even possess eyes capable of seeing our light and evaluating our worth.

Doppler Effect proves that light changes color as it comes towards us and as it moves away from us near the speed of light. Coming towards us, it can be greenish, but going away from us, it turns a reddish color. This might be yet another clue into what we are seeing and if it is coming or going.


Conclusion

I say it often and it's true: There is no magic, only science yet unexplained. So, in the case of these lights, I say we look at what could create such a light, where those goods might be, like the man in the car being noted at gas stations might need gasoline which can be used as a fuel to propel his vehicle. We certainly don't see great mining underway by any "alien" influences, so what might they use of natural earth sciences that are making their job easy and cheap? In other words, the mechanisms our governments, oil companies, and electric companies do not want us to learn and develop?

Don Monroe Case Files: Unusual Carving Unearthed!

Life-long explorer, adventurer and researcher, Don Monroe, has a million stories to tell, only he's been on the road nonstop, busy hiking the back country in dozens of countries, climbing the highest peaks and crawling in the deepest caves to understand this natural world we live in. He has hunted, tracked, trapped, cast footprints, talked to Native people, continued several-decade long ongoing research projects, devoured tons of research books, and ultimately sought answers about every aspect of nature and all the mysteries within. During those travels, he came across many unusual things. What I am presenting now is one of them -  Don Monroe and a researcher friend named Massey, were up at about 7000 feet on Anaconda Range in Montana. They were tracking a bear when Don noted something sticking out of the ground, just a bit of something, but didn't look like a regular rock.  In this remote area at that elevation, the idea of running across something man-made was unlikely. He s...

Monsters in the Deepest Ocean!

The ocean takes up the majority of the surface on our world and yet so little of what is in it is known to us. Upon occasion, we come across some real mysteries, tantalizing glimpses that make us wonder. For a long time, the giant squid (above) was a legend until it was finally filmed underwater. What other legends might tell us what is in the sea? One creative thinker in 1570 drew up the sea monsters that lay in the waters outside of Iceland. Scientist and artist, Abraham Ortelius had some very fanciful ideas of what awaited the seafarer. He also pondered what might live in the Pacific Ocean. In 1644, another artist/scientist drew up what he thought might lurk in the waters off of Africa. Willem Blaeu had quite an interesting vision. In 1727, Peter Kolb envisioned a sea lion of interesting characteristics - In present day, we still run across things in the sea that puzzle us. Here is one such thing photographed at Hook Island. It was estimated to be 75-80 feet long and to this day the...

Obscure Horror Movies of the 70s and 80s

The 1970s and 1980s were horror movie lovers' heaven! There were movies about nature turning on man because of pollution, witches, devil worshippers, killers, insanity, revenge, demons, families moving into haunted houses, beasts attacking, and teens being slashed.  You might have missed some of the more obscure ones in the offering -  *Descriptions thanks to my favorite movie site IMDB (The Food of the Gods - 1976) The Food of the Gods:  A group of friends travel to a remote Canadian island to hunt, only to be attacked by giant killer animals which have populated the place.

Terror of Doll Island!

Photo source Isla de las Munecas or "Island of the Dolls" (popularly coined "Doll Island") is a thing of horror for many. Why would an island filled with dolls for decades, laid to waste by the elements and neglect, be terrifying? Well, let me introduce you to its most unsettling beginnings. Don Julian Santana was unhappy with city life and moved to an island on a canalway south of Mexico City for peace and quiet. It was there that the legend begins and takes on a life that is animated enough to bring the dead to life. Don reported that a little girl had drowned in the canal 50 years ago and he believed her spirit to be troubled and haunting his little island.  He said that he was out one day when he saw a doll floating in the canal and scooped it out, hanging it up on a tree near the drowning spot to make the girl eternally happy so she would not haunt and scare him.  He then became consumed with finding more and more dolls, fishing them out of the canal, sorting t...

Ghost Ships and Fata Morgana Mirages

Fata Morgana   Fata Morgana is a complex superior mirage. In this instance, in the horizon a narrow band seen can separate an image, casting what looks like another image superior to the original object. In the image above it appears as if the ship is in the air. Below, the image shows a repeat of it up in the air. Sometimes, the image can be inverted. This occurs when rays of light are bent when they pass through layers that are different temperatures.  Flying Dutchman This legend is talked about among sailors since the late 1700s. The tale says that there was a ship's captain sailing around the most dangerous ocean strait, the Cape of Good Hope. He cursed the elements and swore he would make it no matter what. The ship went down and all perished, but they are said to continue as a ghost ship for eternity in the region of the Southern tip of Africa because of the arrogance. In fact, the legend was picked up and modified for many countries and many sea locations. Perhaps it wa...

The Most Bizarre Photographic Finds On Mars!

Mars explorers have sent back photos of some rather unusual, sometimes vague, and often times puzzling items on the surface of the "dead" planet.  This has us wondering, if our own planet no longer supported life, would all the evidence of our having been here be covered up by a millennia of earth, leaving only the occasional hint someone might have been here? Here's a look at a large gallery of photos from the red planet. You come to your own conclusions.... Th e one above, I will chalk up to optical illusion. The stone is actually on the ground in the distance. In the foreground is a rock casting a shadow.  Are we looking at a planet that seems to be dead and yet it has a history of life? What if a civilization that was quite advanced had the opportunity to leave a sick planet for a healthy one not so far away in terms of space travel? Is Mars a planet that never supported life or is it a planet that sustained life long enough to build an entire civilization now buried ...

Present Day Russian Neanderthal?

Regions with Bigfoot-type bipedal creatures have their own local names for these types. In Russia and Siberia, they are referred to as the Almas by the Mongolian people and Almasty by the Russians. These beings are described as between 5 feet tall and 6-1/2 feet tall; much shorter than the typical American Bigfoot. They are said to have reddish brown hair, flat noses, a pronounced brow ridge, and weak chin. This is a classic Neanderthal face. One thing we don't know about Neanderthal is if they were hair covered. With hundreds of thousands of years to adapt to the climate of the Altai mountains and cold northern regions, they likely were.  A boy in Russia ( LINK ) found some prints that were attributed to a possible yeti.  When you look at it, however, it resembles a Neanderthal print quite a bit with the pronounced inner curve and the angle from big to little. Could Neanderthal still exist in Russia and Mongolia? It would be as likely as my theory that the Bigfoot are d...
