Harry Potter UFO mularky.

So the Sun are at it again. Spreading their stupidity with tales of Harry Potteresque flying Ford Anglia’s.

AMAZING footage appears to show a FLYING CAR zooming through the night sky.
The amateur clip, posted on YouTube, shows a full moon looming over the skyline of Wichita, Kansas, USA. But look in the top-right corner and you will see what appears to be a set of HEADLIGHTS zipping into the frame.

Ah Wichita, a state made up of numerous aviation facilitys, from Boeing – Raytheon and much more.

Members of online UFO groups have speculated whether it could be the enchanted Ford Anglia featured in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

The boy wizard and his pal Ron Weasley use the classic vehicle to get to Hogwarts — before they crash it into a giant magical tree.

Members of which online UFO groups exactly? Or are you talking out of your arse, cos I cant find any significant mention of this case anywhere, and i’m struggling on Youtube. Allegedly the original story appears on CNBC, I cant find that either.

And may I add, JK Rowlings tales of Harry Potter are English and set in England, before you put Hogwarts somewhere in Nebraska. American drivel!

Others say it might be time-travelling scientist Doc Brown reaching 88mph in his famous flying DeLorean. That iconic car featured in all three Back to the Future movies, with the flight capability added during a trip to 2015 in the second flick.

Your lying again aren’t you, nobody said that did they..

One UFO spotter, Jason Simms, wrote online: “This could be the prototype flying car we have all been waiting for, undergoing secret tests. Here’s hoping.”

Oddly if you view the footage completely and dont concentrate on the ‘car’ you may notice that the moon moves too. It looks like the footage has been sped up. I’d suggest its only an aircraft, nothing more, with a bit of computer basic wizardry thrown in.

(Author edit. Thanks to Bob Dezon for his analysis of the clip – ) I would say it looks like a small commercial type plane, like a cessna. The lights appear to be landing lights used on approach or takeoff. What is misleading here, is the footage is timelapse, so it looks like its moving really fast. You can see the moon rise like 5 degrees over the duration of this clip.

Jason Simms.. You sir are a twat.

As its only the Sun that seems to have this story available, and you cant acquire images or footage from the site. Here’s the linky with the footage.

I’m running out of people to be sorry for!

Royal wedding UFO Claptrappery.

Ya know I cant help but use some newspapers on the floor for puppies to poo on. Day after day they publish nonsense regarding the world of the profound. Normally I get to slate the Shun or the Star. Today however my overtones reach to a media source I’d expect better from. The Daily Mail….

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1371617/Prince-William-Kate-Middletons-Royal-wedding-UFO-sightings-forecast.html

It seems the worlds current spate of catastrophies and events of magnitude are being monitored by little green men in their shiney silver saucers.

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal wedding is expected to be viewed by over a billion people around the world – but also by a few UFOs according to a retired Air Force major.

Former military officer George Filer runs the National UFO Centre and says it’s common to see the extraterrestrials around important events, and is highly possible they may be watching the royal wedding too.

Mr Filer told AOL News: ‘The craft seem to have an interest in anything important. They’ve been sighted recently over Libya and near the Japanese tsunami.’

OOOOOO and they get an invite and I dont? And they dont pay TV licences? No Mr Filer, I enjoy your collation of worldwide sightings, but I think you’ve been touching the LSD a tad much here.

He says his UFO Centre tracks over 1,000 sightings each month and has been getting reports from British Royal Air Force pilots over the past few weeks, who reported seeing UFOs over the English Channel.

Mr Filer is also expecting sightings around Westminster Abbey on April 29 because he says the royal family have shown interest in UFOs.

Funny how he gets all the RAF reports, normally nobody else can, being ministry of defence and all, i’d suspect they have protocols in place for UFO reports.

Speaking about a conversation he once had with Prince Philip, he said: ‘It was around 1961 or ’62, when I was a navigator in a tanker.

He met with a group of us after a dinner because he wanted to talk about UFOs. He told us that the RAF had stopped sending fighters after UFOs because some of them didn’t come back.

‘They decided to send tankers, which were nearly as fast as the fighters but could hold 15 hours of fuel, compared to two for the fighters.’

Mr Filer also claimed that Prince William’s grandfather told him that his uncle, the Earl Mountbattan, had seen some UFOs up close.

Hmmm. I once had a chat with a bloke in a pub, who said aliens live in the North Pole where the earth goes in on itself ( I didnt really )

And although the UFO expert admitted that the Soviets did try to penetrate the UK’s airspace regularly during the Cold War when he met Prince Philip, he discounted the possibility that the objects might have actually been their crafts.

A renowned investigator of crop circles in Britain during the 1980s also backs Mr Filer’s claims of the royal family’s interest in UFOs.

Colin Andrews says the Queen once read one of his books about crop circles, titled Circular Evidence’.

He said: ‘Prince Philip and the Queen are particularly interested in the subject. And their interest seems to be based on personal experiences.’

Mr Andrews claims the Queen even sent him a letter confirming her reading the book, but says the British government and royal family officials have denied their interest in UFOs.

‘I have numerous documents attesting to that, even though Nick Pope, the head of the UFO project of the Ministry of Defense, publicly stated the queen and the government had no official interest in UFOs.

‘I believe he was under instruction to make that statement and he later confirmed that during a live interview with the BBC’, Mr Andrews said.

And he says after posting the alleged letter from the Queen on his website, he was later asked to remove it because it was ‘personal’ correspondence not met for public consumption.

Come on, wheres the evidence that Crop Circles are anything other than Man Made, good lord the folk who believe that they are anything else really do need the Sadler Seal Club. And with no repect, how the hell has Nick Pope gone from being an MOD tea lady to the head of a UFO project. If he was, I think he’d be in prison now, There is an official secrets act in the UK…

One good things coming from the royal wedding, for the workers of our fair isle, a free day off. Nobody will watch the skies, until the point they are on their backs from over indulgance in street party hooch, so will anybody actually see Mr Filers Royal UFO’s. I won’t, the UK road system will be quiet. I may go somewhere.

Daily Fail, please try harder, you REALLY do not want to be the Shun….

Its the readers I feel sorry for.

Menace of the skies

As pretty as they are, the craze for Chinese paper lanterns has  overlooked one thing – what happens when they finally drift back to earth? Farmers have complained that they can be deadly for livestock after a prize cow died after eating the wire and paper remnants from one.

Lanterns – engineered from a wire or bamboo frame over which paper is stretched. A wick or fuel pod is attached inside and ignited. The flame causes the air inside the lantern to heat up, and subsequently rise like a hot air balloon. They can reach up to 1,000 metres in height and fly for several minutes before the fuel runs out.

Such is their popularity – and spooky appearance – that UFO investigators say they account for 99% of flying saucer sightings, and thousands are expected to be lit at gatherings over festive periods.

But for farmer Huw Rowlands’s herd of traditional Red Poll cattle, the effect of the fad has been devastating. For months he has been finding the wreckage of burnt-out lanterns lying around his fields, then one of his most cherished cows, Sprite, keeled over in evident distress.

‘Her neck swelled up and she couldn’t eat or drink,’

said the 70-year-old, whose family have owned Grange Farm, in the Cheshire village of Mickle Trafford, since the 1940s. The vet did what he could, but she died two days later.

‘We didn’t know what was wrong with her at first, but then we found one of these lanterns in her field, half-eaten’. ‘She had swallowed some of the wire from it and it had pierced her oesophagus, leading to a very unpleasant death’

Farmers’ leaders say they are stepping up their campaign against the menace of Chinese lanterns despite indications from the coalition that they are unlikely to be totally banned. The National Farmers Union says reports of damage caused by the lanterns are continuing to come in from many parts of the UK, and farmers are now becoming seriously concerned about the potential for severe damage to standing or stored crops and thatched properties.

Since coming on to the market some three or four years ago the paper lanterns have become hugely popular at wedding receptions and other celebrations. They are carried aloft by tiny burning fuel cells, but once the fuel runs out after a few minutes they become a real threat to farmland. There have been reports of burning embers starting crop fires. But there is also a more worrying chance that their wire frames can fall into silage crops to lie undetected before being harvested, chopped – and ultimately eaten by cattle.

In August 2010 alone, there were numerous reports of crop fires caused by lanterns, including the loss of six acres of barley at a farm in Oxfordshire, which needed 25 firefighters to tackle the blaze.

The growing use of Chinese Lanterns at celebrations and parties in the UK is causing an increase in calls to the Emergency Services by worried members of the public. Sky lanterns have been ignited in China and other Asian countries for centuries.

The credit for their invention is given to Zhuge Liang, also known as Kong Ming, who was a brilliant military strategist and statesman in the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. They were originally used as signalling devices in military campaigns. The Kong Ming lantern eventually became popular with the Chinese as a device for sending their wishes up to heaven. This gave rise to the alternative name of wish lantern. On the 15th day after Chinese New Year, the annual Lantern Festival (or Yuan Xiao) takes place where people go out with them in the light of the full moon to mark the end of the New Year celebrations.

International airports warn about the dangers of fire lanterns being sucked into aircraft engines.

The Unknown Phenomena Investigation Association, Manchester’s Association of Paranormal Investigation and Training and Phenomena Magazine are leading a campaign to bring restrictions into the public domain, regarding the usage and buying of the Chinese lantern. Currently there is no control, No age restriction for buying and in some places, the lanterns are available to buy for as little as fifty pence.

A matter of months ago, a three year old child – Cael Jones was with his family and friends on Bonfire Night at a party in Penycae, near Wrexham UK, when he received severe facial burns due to the fuel from a lantern. As Cael, his mother Emma and his father Terry watched the lanterns climbing through the sky, a melted section fell out of one of the lanterns and landed on the little boy’s face.

“It’s shocking what happened, it was the worst night of my life,” his 23-year-old mother said. “A lantern got to about the height of the roof when the burner bit – about the size of the palm of your hand – fell on to Cael’s face.” “The oil got stuck on his face and his face was black. Everyone was screaming. He couldn’t open his eyes.”

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents are aware of the increasing popularity of Chinese lanterns and the associated concerns. A man has also been killed whilst walking and viewing the lanterns and being hit by a car.

With all this in mind, and additional unreported incidents, we believe that the government should now begin to regulate the Chinese lantern industry. On New Year’s Eve alone the UPIA received 9 reports from throughout the UK, which can be attributed to Chinese Lanterns.

This is a health and safety concern which should be taken seriously and monitored correctly before incidents escalate and more harm is done to the environment, livestock and others are injured.

That sounded quite professional didnt it?
