Look! Up In The Sky! It’s 2013′s Most Bizarre UFOs And Paranormal Stories.

Whether you believe that UFOs are alien spaceships or travelers from another dimension or hoaxes or simply very easily explained objects, they were plentiful in 2013. Over the past 12 months, we had it all, from a Scientology-created message to aliens; UFOs allegedly photographed near the moon; former members of Congress listening to UFO testimony of international eyewitnesses, military experts and scientists; deliberate hoaxes; and the Ata mummified humanoid who caused an international sensation…. VIDEO and SLIDESHOW

Viewers ask CBS affiliate to explain UFO in video.

CBS 6 in Virginia says they were asked to “explain the UFO that streaked across the sky during your landfill piece on the 11:00 newscast tonight.” The news item the viewer referred to was on the East End Henrico landfill on December 9, 2013. They say others spotted the strange object in the video as well. In the video a streak of light can be seen in the background. A similar streak was found later in the video. CBS 6 say they checked on whether there were any meteorites reported that might, but it was before the Geminid meteor show began (December 12-16)

They also say they attempted to reach NORAD, but could not get a hold of anyone. In typical tongue-in-cheek fashion, they also did a lot of joking about trying to find out it Superman had been hired by any local business or was promoting his new movie, or if Santa had been test driving his sleigh.

Finally, CBS 6 says they got the answer they were looking for from their own head of photography. They say, “Turns out we can identify our flying object as a plane captured while using a show shutter speed.”

They did also note, that accord to the National UFO Reporting Center, there were two UFOs reported last week, one in Northern Virginia and another in Yorktown.

UFO causes flights to be diverted in Beijing.

A UFO scare near Beijing International Airport caused two civilian flights to be diverted. The UFO turned out to be a drone used by a local Beijing company for surveying. The four men operating the drone were arrested for not adhering to proper unmanned aerial vehicle regulations.

According to the South China Morning Post, China’s Civil Aviation Administration picked up a UFO on radar at 11 am on Sunday. It was flying at an altitude of around 2000 feet, and traveling at more than 60 miles per hour.

Two civilian airplanes were diverted in order to steer clear of the UFO, resulting in dozens of flight delays. Police scrambled a helicopter, which discovered the drone and forced it to land.

The drone that caused all of the commotion is a modified remote controlled airplane used for survey work. However, the proper permission was not obtained before the flight near the airport was conducted. Four men who were operating the drone were arrested for “endangering public security” which caused “seriously interrupted flight orders.”

UFO video shows light hovering over home in England

A man and his wife saw a UFO hovering over their home in the West Yorkshire town of Ossett during the evening of Sunday, December 29 at approximately 5:30 p.m.

The husband, Ian Rimmington, observed the object with his wife, and he recorded video of the UFO as it hovered in the sky. He described the object to the Wakefield Express as “a rectangular object that was green at the top and red at the bottom.”

Rimmington further explained, “It came across our house and then vanished in front of us. I can’t envisage what it was so I for the first time in my life I may have witnessed a unidentified flying object.”

Alien life could be more widespread than previously thought.

According to a new study, researchers believe that Earth-sized planets can support life at least ten times farther away from their host stars than previously thought.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen and the University of St Andrews recently published a paper asserting that cold rocky planets previously considered inhospitable to life as we know it may actually be habitable beneath the surface. Phys.org explains that the team of researchers “created a computer model that estimates the temperature below the surface of a planet of a given size, at a given distance from its star.”

PhD student Sean McMahon, one of the team’s members, explains that “The deepest known life on Earth is 5.3 km below the surface, but there may well be life even 10 km deep in places on Earth that haven’t yet been drilled.” He continues, “Using our computer model we discovered that the habitable zone for an Earth-like planet orbiting a sun-like star is about three times bigger if we include the top five kilometres below the planet surface . . . If we go deeper, and consider the top 10 km below the Earth’s surface, then the habitable zone for an Earth-like planet is 14 times wider.”

According to Phys.org, our solar system’s current habitable zone extends out as far as Mars, but taking subsurface habitability into account, “this re-drawn habitable zone would see the zone extend out further than Jupiter and Saturn.”

Hoping to encourage other researchers to expand their views on where life may exist, McMahon states, “The results suggest life may occur much more commonly deep within planets and moons than on their surfaces. This means it might be worth looking for signs of life outside conventional habitable zones. I hope people will study the ways in which life below the surface might reveal itself. Because it’s not unimaginable that there might be signs at the surface that life exists deep below.”

This is not the first time McMahon and his colleagues have proposed an expanded habitable zone. The team presented a new habitability model back in 2012, which took into account a planet’s potential for underground water, and, therefore life.

Four UFOs filmed above US town.

A worker in the small US town of Andover in Massachusetts captured four mysterious lights in the night sky on December 19.

‘The lights were odd compared to aircraft that I am aware of as they were constantly on, and flickered just a bit but did not blink,’ they explained.

‘The lights were the same intensity from the time they came out of the horizon through to the time they went past and outwards, and gradually weakened in size and intensity as they went out of view.’

UFO: Seattle Tunnel Drill Uncovers Possible Alien Activities.

December 2013 marked a very unforgettable day for the people of Seattle. As reported by UFO Sightings Daily on December 24, 2013, Bertha, a huge tunnel boring machine was already digging down in the native glacial soil when it suddenly stopped in its tracks.

Project manager Chris Dixon, did not expect that this colossal machine would hit anything with the depth of the digging they were already at.

"Well theoretically, we're down in the native soils, we're below the zones that they fill. We're not expecting to find artifacts or railroad locomotives or ships or something like that down there".

Many speculated that Big Bertha could have hit the side walls of one of the many alien bases on Earth.

Feliks Banel, Seattle's historian elaborated on the history of the place 100 years ago. As a working waterfront, the object could be a part of a locomotive or a part of an old ship. However, he also did not discount the possibility of the presence of UFOs and extra-terrestrial activities.

"Maybe it's some ancient artifact, maybe there is an ancient civilization here that goes way back that nobody's even considered."

Feliks Banel is hoping that whatever it is that is stopping Bertha, it would be something cool. UFO Sightings Daily is coordinated by Scott C. Waring who had been affiliated with the United States Air Force at SAC base and is currently an ESL teacher and UFOlogist who lives in Taiwan.
