More UFOs. Are they really military exercises?


UFO Over Oregon Caught On Tape [VIDEO]


By Lee SpeigelPosted: 

On the same day that a huge meteor crashed in Russia after breaking up over the Ural Mountains and injuring more than 1,000 people, two residents of Grants Pass, Ore. videotaped something very odd in the sky above their home.
According to the International Business Times, Heather Scherffius and Gregory Soldner watched as a mysterious object hovered above the Southern Oregon sky around 10:30 p.m. on Feb. 15.
"It looked like a metal disc of some sort ... like it was made of metal and the way it moved was pretty weird," Soldner told NBC affiliate KOBI-TV5. "I don't believe in flying saucers, but, you know."
"Both Greg and Heather described the object as metallic, occasional blinking lights and moving at angles they have never seen any aircraft or object move before," KOBI-TV news reporter Kyle Aevermann told The Huffington Post in an email. "They claim it moved at 90-degree angles. It's very hard to tell in the clip because they weren't using a tripod and the clip itself wasn't the best quality since it was filmed on their digital camera."
As the couple watched, the UFO seemed to be stationary in the sky for a few minutes before moving sporadically.
"It would move up and down, back to a spot and zigzag," Soldner said.
"It was there like 20 or 30 minutes, and then it was gone," Scherffius added.
NBC5 added a filter to the original video footage in order to see the UFO a little clearer in this report:
Aevermann said there were "some mixed reactions at the station. Some people just thought it was complete nonsense and that it was all made up, but most of us enjoyed it."
NBC5 made an attempt to contact the Federal Aviation Administration to see if any other UFO sightings had been received, but was told that very few UFOs are actually reported and an investigation was forthcoming.

UPDATED Zombie UFO Crash Disaster Full-Scale Exercise Nevada Governor 2014 David Lory VanDerBeek

A friendly youtuber royan rosche sent me the archive of the ORIGINAL FEMA page captured on March 2nd, 2013 by Web Archive.org. Bravo Royan!


This is not a joke. This is a REAL FEMA DRILL scheduled for “Saturday April 27th 2013 9:00am to 5:00pm” in Moscow, Idaho involving 100 participants. There are two scenarios. The original event on the calendar of the Fema.gov website can be found here

Zombie UFO Crash Disaster Full-Scale Exercise UPDATE 03-03-2013 1:16 PST: After I posted this article this morning, FEMA PULLED THE EVENT DOWN replacing it with a statement that the information is now “only available to coalition members.” Having foreseen this I took screen shots of the event, so that I could preserve the record. You will see the screen shots at the bottom of this article. COPY THOSE SCREEN SHOTS AND SEND THEM VIRAL.

This message from me is not to incite fear or panic. I’ve contacted the person Sandy Rollins ‘srollins@latah.id.us’ listed for the drill in the event with the following message:
Hello Ms. Rollins,

I am the leading candidate for governor of Nevada in 2014. http://nevadagovernor2014.com/
You are the contact for this page on Fema.gov:
Because this drill is supported by federal funds paid by the taxes of the US people including the citizens of Nevada, you are required to provide the public with precise information about your activities in this drill. I expect you to respond within the week with an email with the detailed information regarding the two scenarios mentioned. I also expect the email and phone number of your immediate supervisor. Whether or not you cooperate, I will be reporting your response or lack thereof to the nation on my television show and youtube channel.
Thank you,
David Lory VanDerBeek

Why is this important? Because it raises serious questions about what our government believes about the fundamentals of our human reality. Do the leaders of our nation believe in UFOs and zombies really? If so, what is their proof? They must have proof in order to spend money on drills? If they have proof, they must provide it to the general public? What is the threat? How imminent is it?
NOW THE MUNDANE TRUTH…
Personally, I do not believe in UFOs or zombies and neither does anyone in the federal government. It is quite likely that our government has a created a bio-chemical weapon that can induce zombie-like behaviors in humans and therefore assist in a mass murder event to promote global depopulation without taking the blame. In fact Dr. Steven Schlozman, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School has made public statements stating how a contagion event could result in a zombie apocalypse. But because of government/elitist propaganda in the media and Hollywood, millions of people will accept it as a zombie event from aliens rather than a chemical weapon attack by other humans. The UFO piece of the propaganda is to induce the public to accept the depopulation event as a “culling” of the human herd by a “higher intelligence” life form that has been watching earth. These alleged UFO aliens will be executing judgment as they see fit because they feel that we are destroying our earth and therefore many of us need to die in order “re-balance” nature. This is the emerging earth-worship religion combined with the new UFO-alien/ufology religion. Both are promoted by the elite who have take over our government and feed this propaganda to us through popular culture movies and video games.  Of course, these are silly stories, but through the use of technology, media, science, and even holograms, it will be possible for world governments to convince large sectors of the general public that these events are real. My position is and always has been that these events are HUMAN CONSPIRACIES. The fact that the federal government is actually noting these events on official websites and generating events for drills in response for these events is an indication that they are ready to move. These events will cause global chaos to which the only solution proposed by the elite will of course be global government. In the bigger picture, these events will be used to justify the final surrender of our national sovereignty as the dictators of the earth including Obama claim we must form a global government to combat this alien invasion. Yes, it is insane, but then the elite of this earth are insane people. Surrendering our national sovereignty will conveniently include paying global taxes and forming a global army. One reason they believe this will work is because  they want to convince religious people that these UFOs are the ‘messiah’ event long awaited. I can agree with the elite on one thing, this FEMA event of their is certainly a sign of the times.

Strange triangular object photographed over Yemen - Mar 7, 2013

A Yemeni photographer has captured what he believes to be an unidentified flying object (UFO) over a mountainous area in northern Yemen.

Aseel Badiyan’s picture shows a white triangular, object soaring through the clouds, reported UAE based Emirates 24/7 on Thursday.

The photo has been corroborated by the deputy chairman of the Saudi astronomy association, Sharaf al-Sifyati, who says :”when this Yemeni photographer contacted me and showed me that picture, I felt that he was telling the truth. I checked the picture and found that is authentic and does not involve any tricks or tampering. As for that object, I believe it is strange and unfamiliar but I am not sure it is a space object because these phenomena remain a possibility rather than a reality. I think this incident has to be fully investigated,” according to Saudi Arabic language daily

Ajel. Badiyan was using his camera to take shots of the mountain range, almost 90 kilometer from the capital Sanaa.

The photographer was not surprised at his sighting. “I have surfed the internet for similar sightings worldwide and found that the picture I captured is the clearest so far…

I believe that those who are behind such objects are advanced people who possess a very intelligent civilization,” Badiyan told Saudi and Yemeni newspapers.


“There is no doubt that we are not alone in this spacious universe,” al-Sifyati added.

UFO Sighting in Melbourne, Florida on March 15th 2013 – 7 Red lights following eachother

I was outside on the phone when i seen one red light in the sky Far up, I thought nothing of it until i seen another one following it. Then 6 more slowly followed it in the same path and disappeared one by one as they got far out!. I thought it was just a plane or something until i seen a lot more.

Black Triangle Sighting in Georgetown, Indiana on March 8th 2013 – Seen @least4 objects @ different times, sometimes 2 @ a time in different directions. Had lights but weren't necessarily all the same. Red, white, and green. Didn't look like the usual airplane or copter lights. Didnt make any noise.

Was outside looking up @ the stars March 8,2013 about 10:00.Saw lights that didn’t look like a normal airplane or helicopter. Object would hover then move in ways that airplanes for sure can’t do. Was lower than an airplane would usually fly. Was @ least 4 different objects that came from different directions during a 3 hour period that I noticed. I was in and out a few times looking. Saw @ least 2 each time. Husband saw several also as did daughter. We are thinking they are drones. I would like to know why there are so many, and what are they doing? I have seen these objects on several other occasions. First time @ Patoka lake right after dusk about 4 years back. What really caught my attention was the way they moved. That night there was 3 and seemed to move to gather unlike any aircraft I have seen. I am no expert but no plane I’ve seen has ever moved like that or hover with no sound that I noticed. I would really like to know what these are. I believe like I said before that they are drones. Why so many in a quite area? Creeps me out to think Big Brother is practically looking in our windows. What’s next? Strange too that Rand Paul spent most of his day going on and on about drones this last week.

UFO Sighting in Kentucky on February 6th 2013 – Scary, unlike anything iv every seen. Life changing.

I was sitting on my bed after waking up at around 2am. I herd a humm like noise outside and At first I had the feeling that I was being watched but then noticed a constant humm. I looked outside to try and figure out what it may be. My head started to hurt as I got close to the window. I looked up and there was this fuzzy object just hovering over the trees. It stayed in the same spot for about 5 minutes befor quickly darting across the sky.
It scared me. My heart beat fast, it got harder to breath, my head hurt and my body got heavy.
I felt scared. Like my life was threatened.
My feelings were as if I was lost. Like I didn’t know what was going on. I felt as if I just got out of a horror house. It made me scared to go back to sleep. It has been 34 hours since I last slept.
I lost sight of the object when it started to dart across the sky. Kinda Like a bird does when you get to close. Like I had scared it. But it wasn’t animal. It wasn’t an aircraft. It wasn’t something that was very common. Nothing in the sky stays in one spot then quickly flys away. Nothing.

UFO Sighting in Steilacoom, Washington on March 8th 2013 – driving home and witnessed 8 or more orange lights. i am use to helicopters and aircraft at rhe local base. this was neither.

I was driving when I first saw the orange balls of light. They were moving like no aircraft I have ever seen coming to and from the local air base. What really caught my attention was the number of objects, 8 maybe more. I can always hear the helicopters and planes, for the number of objects, no sound. My question, was this the military? They were not fly towards the bases normal flight pattern. did they show up on radar? Did the FAA receive any notification?

UFO Sighting in Keego Harbor, Michigan on March 8th 2013 – looking ot my window i noticed a bright orange light that hovered.didn't move then disappered

i was in my kitchen on the phone talking to my old friend when i looked out the window…i then seen over by sylvan lake a strange light hovering over the tree tops about amile or so away from my home.i watched it for a while.at first i thought is was a plane seeing as the airport isn’t far from here but it didn’t move.it was bright and orange in color.kinda strange but fascinating…then disappeared

update: 3-5-3013 What is pouring faster? Money or water? Louisiana Water Pressure Reported Across New Orleans.

updated 3-5-3013


Power failure blamed in New Orleans water issues

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -
Officials say a boiler-room power failure at the plant supplying electricity to the city's treatment plant is to blame for a temporary loss of water pressure.
  
The Sunday morning incident may have opened the way for water contamination. Officials are advising residents on the Mississippi River's east bank to boil drinking water while samples from across the city are tested.
  
Most of New Orleans, including the French Quarter and Central Business District, is on the east bank.
  
Tap water was flowing again within an hour of the incident. The problem started about 9 a.m. Central time Sunday.
  
Engineers are investigating what caused the power failure. It takes at least 24 hours to tell whether there are potentially dangerous bacteria in the water.

...................................
This is what is happening with the Louisiana water pressure issue...this is all of the information that is out there, which leads me to believe that one of the past issues (which I will include afterward) is to blame...ASK THE QUESTION...WHAT HAPPENED TO THE "The $34 million project ($390 MILLION RELEASED IN NOVEMBER 2011 FOLLOWING Mayor Mitch Landrieu wrote a letter to Gov.

REPORTED IN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR AND WHAT ABOUT THE  "The federal government released an additional $390 million in November 2011 when the feds acknowledged that the state should get more Hazard Mitigation money (grants to strengthen infrastructure against future storms) under a FEMA formula for Hurricane Katrina and Rita aid."

Loss of water pressure reported across New Orleans

Posted: Mar 3, 2013 10:24 AM by Associated Press 
NEW ORLEANS - Widespread loss of water pressure has been reported in New Orleans, and the city is advising residents in a large swath of the city boil their water.

The city said in a statement Sunday morning that Sewerage & Water Board officials were still working to determine the cause of the loss of water pressure at the S&WB Power Plant.

The statement said the boil water advisory is in effect for all of the East Bank of Orleans Parish until further notice from the city.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu tweeted Sunday morning: "Widespread loss of water pressure reported. We are looking into it the matter."

Water pressure falls across sections of New Orleans, city issues boil-water alert

Water outage hits metro area

New Orleans issued a boil-water alert for the east bank on Sunday after residents across the city woke up to a drop in water pressure caused by a power outage, the second time in less than six months that a mechanical problem has stirred fears of contaminated water. 

Residents took to Twitter immediately with reports from Uptown to St. Roch and elsewhere that the pressured had dipped some time around 9 a.m. and then, in many places, came back. 

Mayor Mitch Landrieu jumped on Twitter as well, saying, "Widespread loss of water pressure reported. We are looking into it the matter." 

The mayor and officials from the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board have scheduled a press conference for 1 p.m. on Sunday to discuss the issue. 

The last time the city's aging pipes experienced trouble was back in October, when the agency issued a boil-water alert that lasted about 25 hours after a drop in pressure raised the possibility of contamination. In that case, the dip in pressure was caused by a glitch at the agency's South Carrollton Avenue power plant, apparently the same issue that came up Sunday. 

In a statement, city officials said "an interruption in the boiler room at the Sewerage & Water Board Power plant" cut the power temporarily at around 9 a.m., causing water pressure to drop below what the federal government considers safe.

The city is recommending that residents boil their water for a minute and let it cool down before "drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, bathing or preparing food." 

Boiled water is not necessary for other household purposes, according to the city, although some important caveats apply: "Bathing or showering should be avoided by people with open wounds or who are immune-compromised," and for anyone who does hop in the bath, "minimize the time spent in the water and be sure to keep your eyes and mouth closed."
The alert will remain in effect for at least 24 hours. 

For businesses across the city, that means another frustrating interval of improvising their way around tap water. At the Ruby Slipper, a popular brunch spot with three different locations around town, employees began using bottled water for coffee and boiled water for the dirty dishes.

"The one thing you should be able to depend on from the municipality is that you have water," said owner Eric Weishaupt. "It's silly, but we're doing what we can." 

Federal regulations say a boil-water alert must be issued whenever pressure in the city's water pipes falls below 15 pounds per square inch from a normal psi of 68, a threshold the city crossed briefly on Sunday. If the pressure falls too low, there's a possibility that bacteria could find its way into the system. 

Of course, officials are already well aware that the city's sewage and water system is in dire need of upgrades. Back in December the New Orleans City Council voted to impose a steep increase in residents' monthly water bills. The hike is expected to bring in $583 million in revenue to pay for infrastructure repairs and a bigger staff tending to the city's pipes.

S&WB power plant has been issue for city, state since 2010 boil water order




wwltv.com

Posted on October 8, 2012 at 2:52 PM

Updated Monday, Oct 8 at 6:45 PM

    


NEW ORLEANS -- After boil water orders were issued in New Orleans in November 2010, Mayor Mitch Landrieu wrote a letter to Gov. Bobby Jindal asking for money for power plant repairs.


In the letter from February 2011, Landrieu called repairs to the water system power plant "an urgent public health issue given the necessity to issue ‘boil water’ notices in November during one of its failures."


“Here in New Orleans, we need $200 million to repair the Sewer & Water Board's power plant, which in nearly 100 years of operation has failed only four times -- all since Hurricane Katrina," Landrieu wrote.


Landrieu got the money he asked for, but it hasn't been used yet. The federal government released an additional $390 million in November 2011 when the feds acknowledged that the state should get more Hazard Mitigation money (grants to strengthen infrastructure against future storms) under a FEMA formula for Hurricane Katrina and Rita aid.


It was a coup for New Orleans, which got $270 million of the $390 million. Mayoral spokesman Ryan Berni said $8.4 million was set aside for making a New Orleans East hospital resistant to a 500-year storm.

And $141 million was set aside for improvements to the Sewerage & Water Board power plant and water intake system.

“Those are in the queue for final approvals and obligation,” Berni said.

He said the city is considering other Sewerage and Water Board related projects and improvements to other city facilities with the remaining $120 million.

S&WB testing backup generator at Carrollton plant, may cause loud noises




wwltv.com

Posted on October 22, 2012 at 11:25 AM Updated Wednesday, Oct 24 at 7:01 AM



A newly installed, very large turbine engine will be tested, and it may or may not be louder than the normal noise level emanating from the plant, the board said.

The engine is in a sound weakening enclosure, which is inside of a building designed to reduce noise levels, the S&WB said.

However, the sounds may be different from what residents are accustomed to hearing, the board said.

The $34 million project is commissioned by the Army Corps of Engineers and will provide the S&WB with 15-mega watt back up power generation.

The hope is that boil water advisories, like the one that occurred in the beginning of October, can be avoided.
The testing is scheduled to begin at or after 9 a.m. Wednesday and continue for 30 days.

Anyone with questions or concerns should call 52WATER (529-2837.)



NOTE: THE FOLLOWING IS FROM 2010, SHOWING THAT THE WATER ISSUE FROM S&WB POWER PLANT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS...AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE.

Water pressure dropped when turbine failed at S&WB power plant


on December 23, 2010 at 12:51 AM, updated December 23, 2010 at 10:25 AM


An electrical problem triggered the failure late Wednesday of one of four massive turbines that fuel the Sewerage & Water Board's in-house power plant, causing water pressure to plummet across the east bank of Orleans Parish, a top agency official said.

s&wb_water_meter_cover.jpgView full size
But unlike last month, when asimilar equipment crash led to a 41-hour boil-water advisory, the latest problem was resolved in a half-hour because a key backup pump that was under repair in November was available and switched on within minutes, S&WB General Superintendent Joe Becker said.

Algiers is served by a separate water purification plant and was not affected.

While the backup pump allowed water pressure to remain at safe levels, averting another boil-water incident, the turbine failure caused the S&WB's in-house power plant to shut down for about two hours.

It was only the fourth failure since the facility - among New Orleans' most critical infrastructure - opened at the turn of the 20th century. All four shutdowns have occurred since Hurricane Katrina.

The S&WB power plant produces an uncommon frequency of electricity known as 25-Hertz, also called 25-cycle, that drives the motors that run about half the city's drinking water system, namely giant pumps that suck raw water from the Mississippi River and smaller pumps that send purified water into the underground pipe network. The water purification plant, meanwhile, runs on power purchased from Entergy New Orleans.

In-house power also supports about half the city's drainage capacity via 115 miles of underground conduit, including lines that run under the river. The buried wires run from the power plant at South Claiborne Avenue near the Jefferson Parish line to many of the city's 23 drainage pump stations.
The power plant generates electricity by running tap water through enormous boilers, which create steam to run four turbines that produce 25-cycle power. Natural gas purchased from Entergy is used to start boilers and turbines, which run singly or in tandem depending on how much power the system needs.

Once the equipment is up and running, it relies on self-generated steam and a series of natural gas feeds to stay online.

Meanwhile, the S&WB has eight pumps located at three outflow stations on the South Claiborne Avenue campus to send purified drinking water out to customers. The pumps maintain water pressure at about 65 pounds per square inch, a level that keeps potentially sickening bacteria from infiltrating pipes; when pressure drops below 15 psi, health officials advise residents to boil water before using it to drink, cook or bathe.

On Wednesday night, one turbine was in operation, as were four outflow pumps: one powered directly by steam from the boilers, two that run on 25-cycle power generated by the turbines and one powered by electricity from Entergy, Becker said.

When the turbine broke at 8:29 p.m., it shut down the two 25-cycle pumps immediately, he said.
The first line of defense against such a failure is a key backup pump that can run using 25-cycle power or electricity provided by Entergy, Becker said. When the power plant failed last month, that pump was out of service, forcing S&WB engineers to rely on other options that took several hours to put into place.
By that time, water pressure had dropped to 10 psi, triggering a boil-water advisory.

By last week, however, the dual-frequency pump had been repaired, Becker said. So when the power plant failed Wednesday night, S&WB officials were able to flip it on within 20 minutes using Entergy power.

During that period, water pressure dropped - but only to 25 psi, safely above the boil-water threshold - Becker said, adding that S&WB officials nevertheless contacted state Department of Health and Hospitals personnel shortly after the power plant failed.

With the backup pump running, along with the steam-driven pump and the one that ordinarily runs on Entergy power, normal water pressure was restored by 9 p.m., he said.

Meanwhile, S&WB crews got two of the remaining three turbines online by 10:30 p.m., restoring in-house power.

As for the fated turbine, it appears that an internal electrical malfunction cause it to fail, Becker said. Though officials plan to meet today at 8:30 a.m. to review the precise reason for the shutdown, it's likely that copper wire necessary to run the machine will have to be "rewound," a two- to three-month process that must be handled off-site by a contractor, he said.

Such work amounts to routine maintenance, "but we just haven't been able to afford to take this turbine for rewinding," Becker said.

Residents across the east bank reported low water pressure starting around 8:30 p.m., and subscribers to City Hall's emergency alert text and e-mail service, NolaReady.info, got a notice at 9:22 p.m., about the problem at the power plant.
                   
Spokesmen for the S&WB and Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration issued news releases about the situation at 10:25 p.m., and a final NolaReady.info notice went out at 10:47 p.m. advising that normal water pressure "has been restored."

The notices arrived at a far faster pace than last month, when it took several hours for officials to confirm why water pressure had plummeted around 10:30 p.m. on a Friday night. It wasn't until after 8 a.m. on Saturday that the first e-mail and text alerts went out.
Becker credited the faster communication in part with a new protocol implemented in recent weeks that calls for S&WB personnel to contact administration officials at their homes - and to dispatch police officers to rouse them, if necessary - when problems occur at night.

"We had a lot more phone numbers," he said. "In the past, we had cell phones and Blackberry. But tonight we had more home phone numbers, and we were able to contact using home phone lines."
The latest problem also occurred earlier than last month's disruption, making it easier to reach Landrieu aides, he said.

Landrieu administration officials who were "in close contact" with S&WB officials throughout Wednesday's incident included Deputy Mayors Cedric Grant, Jerry Sneed and Emily Sneed Arata, as well as Communications Director Devona Dolliole and Press Secretary Ryan Berni, S&WB spokesman Robert Jackson said.
