Mystery glow over the Pacific Ocean: Pilots left baffled by strange orange and red lights spotted in the dead of night

A pilot and his co-pilot have spotted a mysterious orange and red glow over the Pacific Ocean.

The strange lights were spotted south of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka during the flight of a Boeing 747-8 from Hong Kong to Anchorage, Alaska.

And while no explanation has yet been given, it's thought that they may have originated from the explosion of a huge volcano under the surface of the ocean.

Strange lights have been spotted near the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka (image by Dutch pilot JPC van Heijst). The sighting was made by pilots flying from Hong Kong to Alaska. The glow came about 20 minutes after a vertical lightning bolt was seen

Dutch pilot JPC van Heijst explained on PBase how, five hours into the ten-hour flight, they spotted an intense flash of light like a lightning bolt, directed vertically up in the distance.

This was then followed by a deep red and orange glow 20 minutes later.

And the experience left van Heijst somewhat perturbed, owing to the lack of an explanation for what happened.

‘Last night over the Pacific Ocean, somewhere South of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka I experienced the creepiest thing so far in my flying career,’ he said.

There were no thunderstorms on their route or weather-radar, suggesting the lightning did not originate in a storm.

The glow is also a mystery; similar lights have been spotted from squid-fishing-boats, but van Heijst says this ‘would not make sense in this area’.

‘The closer we got, the more intense the glow became, illuminating the clouds and sky below us in a scary orange glow, in a part of the world where there was supposed to be nothing but water,’ he continued.

‘The only cause of this red glow that we could think of, was the explosion of a huge volcano just underneath the surface of the ocean, about 30 minutes before we overflew that exact position.’

He was then nervous of encountering an ash-plume in the middle of the night, but fortunately they did not encounter anything of the sort.

Before the flight they had heard via radio about earthquakes in Iceland, Chile and San Francisco.

But despite their being a few volcanoes on their route, they had had not been alerted to any new activity - although this doesn't necessarily include unseen underwater volcanoes.

Van Heijst ruled out squid-fishing-boats as the origin. He says the cause may have been an underwater volcano. An ongoing investigation is taking place to find out what happened

Together with his co-pilot van Heijst says they felt ‘everything but comfortable’, while no other aircraft were nearby to confirm the sighting.

‘We reported our observations to Air Traffic Control and an investigation into what happened in this remote region of the ocean is now started,’ he added.

‘Now I'm just hoping that if a new island has been formed there [from the eruption], at least it can be named after me as the official discoverer.

‘That would be pretty cool!’

Around the Pacific Ocean is a region known as the Ring of Fire, where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur that may have been the origin of glow. The horseshoe shape is 25,000 miles (40,000 km) and, with 452 volcanoes, is home to more than 75 per cent of the planet's active and dormant volcanoes

Flaming Creature Caught on Tape in The Road. Scary. What is It? Alien? Ghost?

UFO ejects something! - Melbourne Australia

Unknown object in the sky over Melbourne, Australia and it looks like it released something.

Is it a UFO?

Or may be one of the many Perseid fireballs were expecting these days and the ejection is a burst off it as it burns up?

The 5 Most Common Types Of Ghosts On Video (10 Chilling Clips)

There are thousands of ghost video clips on the Net, featuring everything from blurry blips to full body apparitions. However, while the creepy clips may seem wildly different, they typically fall into one of six categories. With than in mind, here are the five most common types of ghosts on video, as well as 10 chilling examples.

The Apparition Ghost Video
The apparition is perhaps the most common type of ghost on video, not to mention the creepiest. The apparitions are usually white and wispy in appearance, though some are dark and shadowy. A video filmed in Gettysburg, PA shows what appears to be a transparent form appearing and reappearing in a field. An Oklahoma impound lot became famous for its alleged video of a woman killed in a car accident. A ghost video clip shot in a Japanese parking garage shows a mysterious figure slinking along the wall. Another video from Japan shows a ghostly figure leaping from a cliff!

The Poltergeist Ghost Video
The poltergeist appears in many ghostly videos, knocking things from shelves and moving objects around. A video from Stocky’s Pizza in Haughton, LA shows silverware flying across the kitchen, while a Blockbuster in Mexico can’t seem to keep movies on its shelves. A store in Texas has a similar problem. Countless videos on YouTube claim to show evidence of poltergeist activity.

The Child Ghost Video
Creepy children also frequently appear in so-called real ghost videos. A video from Mexico shows a ghost girl crying in a cemetery. When the person shooting the clip goes to investigate, he discovers that the girl’s eyes glow like a cat’s. A similar video features a crying child in a dark hallway. Creepy footage from Jamaica reportedly shows an 11-year-old boy being attacked by an invisible entity.

The Mysterious Knocks Ghost Video
Many ghost video clips recorded by paranormal investigation groups feature mysterious knocks and thuds. A video shot at the Lemp Mansion features a few strange sounds, as does this footage from The Sallie House. Popular ghost hunting shows like TAPS and Ghost Adventures also regularly capture so-called ghost knocks.

The Spook Lights Ghost Video
Strange orbs and streaks of light are also common in ghost videos. Many cities and towns claim spook lights plague the area, though critics say the lights are nothing more than reflections from passing cars. One video shows the infamous ghost light of Paulding, Michigan, while another clip features the mysterious spook light of Bragg Road, Texas. Light anomalies in cemeteries and haunted buildings also commonly appear in ghostly videos.

Truth Commission: Lake Monster Does Exist

Lagarfljótsormurinn, the giant serpent rumored to inhabit the lake Lagarfljót near Egilsstaðir in East Iceland truly exists, as announced on Saturday by the majority of a 13-person truth commission established in 2012 by the Fljótsdalshérað municipal council.

The commission was given the task of determining whether a video of the alleged monster shot by Hjörtur E. Kjerúlf, which went viral, was authentic and whether he was entitled to a prize of ISK 500,000 (USD 4,300, EUR 3,300).

“I was told about the commission’s conclusion and I’d like to say that I’m extremely pleased to confirm that the majority of the commission was right,” Hjörtur told austurfrett.is.

While concluding that Hjörtur’s video was authentic, the commission determined that a photo shot by Sigurður Aðalsteinsson, who had also made claim to the prize money, did not show the actual serpent.

Hjörtur shot the footage through his kitchen window at farm Hrafnkelsstaðir in Fljótsdalur early one morning in February 2012.

The video was originally posted on the website of national broadcaster RÚV and, after Iceland Review reported on it, reposted multiple times.

The video has now been watched approximately 8 million times and has prompted film crews from abroad to come to the lake in search of the serpent.

Former mayor of Austur-Hérað promised the prize in 1997 to the person presenting evidence of Lagarfljótsormurinn’s existence.

After Hjörtur and Sigurður made claim to the prize, the truth commission was established.

“I’ve long since lost sight of whether its establishment was serious or a joke but we were given the task of taking a position and finish this project,” the commission’s chair Stefán Bogi Sveinsson commented.

The commission also recommended further studies of Lagarfjótsormurinn.

In addition, Hjörtur received an ISK 50,000 prize from local tourism cooperative Þjónustusamfélagið Fljótsdalshéraði for having marketed the region as a tourist destination with his video (see below).

What Exactly Is Reality? No Metaphor Can Describe It

How many times have you heard teachers use analogies to try to bring home a point? For example the common image of the self being like a wave in the ocean –experienced as separate, but where does the ocean end and the self begin. So “it’s all one.” But in many ways we actually use analogies to separate us from reality –to create the illusion that we “know” something mentally when it really needs to be fathomed much more deeply –with all of the senses.

Take for instance the experience of going outside on a clear night and looking at the stars. We can identify the moon, which is supposedly “close” and then begin to drift out, discovering a planet perhaps and a constellation, and then? Remember the Hubble Deep Field experiment which trained the supertelescope on a supposedly empty part of space, and discovered billions of galaxies –not stars, but galaxies?

Our first impulse is to use a word to “explain” what we’re seeing or experiencing.

Oh, it’s “infinite.”

Words are the first level of metaphor, after all, since they seem to be the brain’s “filter” for comprehending reality. But what does that word really tell us? We’re standing “here,” somewhere in the “universe,” and looking “out there,” but every time we think, what’s beyond that, we come up with… another WORD.

If we consider what truly IS, it goes beyond our cognitive mind.  It clenches us in our gut.  There is NO explanation.

In terms of actually comprehending what could possibly be that vast, or exist out “there,” we have no real clue or idea. Our sense of “scale” simply does not extend that far with respect to our physical existence—our body. It is literally unimaginable. Only a word –a metaphor –can provide a pointer.

But suddenly, for an instant, you “know” this from the neck down — with every cell of your existence.

I had lived with the “infinity” explanation for most of my life, only deeply experiencing the night sky intermittently, when I encountered a deeper experience. It was when I watched the TED video of geneticist Juan Enriquez saying that an apple is a computer application—that it receives energy from the sun and when the input is sufficient it “executes” its DNA code and falls from the tree that it hit me in the gut.

In the video Enriquez shows the “code” for the Ebola virus –its’ DNA –which is a sequence of four letters A, C, T and G which represent chemicals in our bodies, and all of organic life, that the strands of DNA containing this code instruct to animate our bodily -and perhaps even mental -functions. (Bear in mind that what we deem mental or physical is a description we have come up with; in nature there is no distinction—everything simply exists as it is)

As someone who had worked a bit with computer software, or code, this hit me deeply. Why? Because ALL computer code is written by humans—intentionally created for a purpose. And here was something “similar” operating within our own complex organisms in the same way.

Similar as in simile –or metaphor? No!  That is what struck me. IT IS NOT A METAPHOR. Again – I “got” this from the neck down.

This level of intelligence IS actively at work right now, animating my breath, digestion, circulation, immune system and every part of what I metaphorically refer to as “my life.”

Eckhart Tolle says repeatedly that the intelligence that runs your breathing is infinitely more intelligent than your thoughts, or your Ego. Again, I had always simply accepted this metaphorically.

But now, as someone who works every day with coded software like Microsoft Word—software that “runs” on a sequence of worded commands “written” by software engineers—I realized that something INTELLIGENT must be operating in me—and in all of Life. It is not a metaphor. It IS how reality and life “work.” Life IS Intelligent.

Here is a poignant example:

The ducklings are compelled to follow the mother, and “learn” how to negotiate the stairs, through an intelligence that is beyond words, but can be “sequenced” from their genetic code. Oh sure, we can “call” it “instinct.”  We can call it many things – metaphorically. But what it IS is life operating intelligently “through” the ducks. In the same way that life evolved intelligently (and not randomly) in Eckhart Tolle’s famous example at the beginning of A New Earth of the very first lotus that “flowered” instead of remaining a plant.

It seems apparent that when we finally “get” that it’s not a metaphor –that intelligence of a much vaster scale actually exists beyond our limited comprehension, that our minds will literally expand, and we may actually evolve consciously.

Juan Enriquez, in another subsequent video, suggests that man may in fact be the creature that changes its genetic code consciously to morph into another species.

But to me the key is the need to move beyond the asbstractions of reducing what is to, for example, “science” and “philosophy” –or similar “metaphors” –and dealing with it directly as it IS. When it is apparent that it is conscious to address that obvious element.

Another example is the CERN Hadron Collider where scientists are at work creating a massive experimental structure to “prove” there is a particle that is infinitely small –no mass –that permeates everything. When they “discovered” it, and it is called the Higgs Boson, the media called it the “God Particle.”

But really it is the Consciousness Particle –because like all of Quantum Physics it only “exists” when there is a subjective intelligence to notice it.

To scientists at CERN this served to “prove” the Big Bang. And of course, how intelligent they, and we humans are. But what it signifies to me is the incredible scale of Existence itself. As there is in the night sky always something bigger, there is also always something smaller. As there is always something outside, there is always something inside. All of these words, of course, are more metaphors, pointers and abstractions.

The one thing we actually know for sure is that right now, in this moment, existence is happening—but we can’t really account for it.  Certainly not with science, which files these sorts of questions under “philosophy” and ignores them –unless it thinks it has an “answer” like the Higgs Boson and it suddenly says, “Ah, Big Bang” – as though that explains anything.

But now, when we look at one of our metaphors –DNA –we can see that it is NOT a metaphor at all. Life truly is intentional – and life is Intelligent.

Maybe each birth is THE Big Bang. Each time one of “us” pops up, everything begins anew. Because Mind-Consciousness-Intelligence of infinite vastness is not “metaphorically” ALL.

It is All. And all means everything –including infinite Intelligence.  Not intelligence that’s “personal,” as in expressing as “you” or “me” or one of those little ducks –but simply IS infinite Mind.

And it is NOT a metaphor. Take it in.

Giant Apparition Appears In Sky Over Hungary

The city of Veszprem, Hungary was haunted by this mysterious ginat spectre on August 11.

The monstrous form hovered in the mist above municipal buildings near the town center.

A clue to its true identity is offered by the photographer, who reports he took the picture from the top of a twenty story building with the rising Sun directly at his back.

That special geometry suggests this is an example of an atmospheric phenomenon called the “Glory” or sometimes “the Spectre of the Brocken”.

Also seen from mountain tops and airplanes when looking opposite the Sun, the dramatic apparition is the observer’s shadow on clouds or fog, the small droplets of water scattering light back towards the Sun through complex internal reflections.

Careful night sky watchers can also encounter this spectre’s analog in astronomy, a brightening of zodiacal light opposite the Sun known as the gegenschein.
