Many UFO reports seem to focus on objects described by witnesses as either shaped like a diamond, saucer, or disc, or as very bright — almost blinding — lights.

On the evening of April 5, 2012, over the Costa Mesa area of California, a motorist reportedly saw a diamond-shaped object hovering about a mile away from him.

In his report filed with the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, he also claims to have heard a humming sound emanating from the object.

“I saw what appeared to be a diamond-shaped vehicle in the eastern sky approximately one mile from my location,” reported the witness, whose identity is being withheld while the case is under investigation.

“While I was driving, I noticed the vehicle hovering, so I thought it was a helicopter, but it did not have aviation lights, and it was much too big to be a helicopter.”

When the witness pulled off to the side of the road for a better look, he said the object tilted on its side.

“And then I was able to see it was in the shape of actually two diamonds connected in the middle,” he said in the report. “At first I thought it was a hoax, but this vehicle was much too sophisticated to be a toy, and very large. It made a humming noise that I could hear from approximately a mile away.”

The witness added that the UFO had four lights on it that he described as “brighter than the sun lights.”

Writing about this case in The Examiner, newly appointed MUFON director of public relations Roger Marsh noted that there were no images or videos included with the original report filed on April 6.

“The diamond shape is probably in the top six or seven most reported UFOs,” Marsh told The Huffington Post.

“What’s different about this case is the fact that the witness on the ground heard a humming sound — in most good UFO cases, the object is completely silent,” Marsh said.

Marsh, who is also editor of the MUFON UFO Journal, said he knows a little about quiet UFOs from his own personal close encounter experience.

In 1973, Marsh and about a dozen other eyewitnesses near Greensburg, Pa., say they saw an unusual site in the sky.

“There was this disc-shaped object hovering just above a telephone pole. It was perfectly silent, completely lit up on the bottom, the width of a two-lane road, and it went right over the top of us,” Marsh recalled.

After that object performed a variety of up and down and hovering maneuvers in front of Marsh and other onlookers, they say it took off in the sky.

“Within a couple minutes, suddenly there were Air Force jets circling the area and eventually went off in the direction of where the UFO had gone.”

Despite this close experience with an unexplained object under his belt, Marsh said he believes the more recent diamond-shaped California UFO could still turn out to have an earthly origin.

“I would have to say that if something is a mile away, I’m believing the witness is reporting what he saw, but the percentage that it could be something manmade increases with the distance,” he said.

Marsh added that March UFO sightings, filed with MUFON, included many shapes reported by eyewitnesses around the country.

“The sphere remains the most-reported UFO shape with 169 March reports,” he said. “Other shape reports include: star-like, 113; circle, 107; triangle, 96; disc, 84; oval, 68; unknown, 68; other, 67; fireball, 51; square/rectangular, 31; cylinder, 31; flash, 30; cigar, 21; boomerang, 21; diamond, 19; egg, 13; bullet-missile, 12; chevron, 9; Saturn-like, 8; cone, 6; cross, 5; teardrop, 5; and blimp, 2.”

“Area 51: Myth or Reality” presents the historical records of what’s been considered the most secret place in America. Spy planes, like the U2 and A-12, were routinely tested at this abandoned bombing range 80 miles north of Las Vegas during the 1950s and 60s. Models of these and other stealth aircraft are now on display at the museum.

The exhibit also scrutinizes ongoing speculation that the military was testing captured alien spacecraft at Area 51 and examining the remains of extraterrestrials that had reportedly crashed outside of Roswell N.M., in 1947.

The Area 51 presentation isn’t limited to examining American UFO sites. Under a clear display cover — where the “Authentic Alien Artifact” sign is housed — are a variety of objects, including vials containing small pieces of material. These come from an alleged UFO crash in Russia.

The use of the word “authentic” is a pretty bold assertion, considering the exhibit — the first of its kind in a national museum — is in a museum associated with the Smithonian Institution.

These so-called alien artifacts come from an incident known as the Russian Roswell. On Jan. 29, 1986, an unusual-looking reddish sphere streaked across the sky over the Soviet Union mining town of Dalnegorsk and crashed into Mount Izvestkovaya, also referred to as Height 611.

“Valeri Dvuzhilini of the Academy of Sciences was first to arrive on the scene two days later. He collected samples of strange metallic mesh scattered at the site, and samples of rocks and vegetation which had been scorched in the crash,” said Las Vegas KLAS-TV news reporter George Knapp.

Watch KLAS-TV report on the new Area 51 exhibit:

“Samples were later analyzed by several Russian scientific institutes. In the days after the crash, hundreds of witnesses saw other UFO-type craft flying in and around Height 611, as if searching for the crash site,” Knapp told The Huffington Post.

Through his efforts and contacts between the United States and Russia, Knapp — the recipient of more than a dozen Emmy Awards — was the first American journalist to travel to the UFO crash site in the 1990s.

Knapp, pictured below right, was given samples of the debris, including very small perfectly round and glassy spheres, which had also been found at other crash sites. Those materials are being unveiled by the National Atomic Testing Museum.

According to the exhibit’s description, scientific tests on the UFO materials revealed bizarre behavior: “Three Soviet academic centers and 11 research institutes analyzed the objects from this UFO crash. The distance between atoms is different from ordinary iron. Radar cannot be reflected from the material. Elements in the material may disappear and new ones appear after heating. One piece disappeared completely in front of four witnesses. The core of the material is composed of a substance with anti-gravitational properties.”

“I don’t think the Russian scientists ever said it was out-of-this-world, but it had unusual properties. Some of the stuff went to academies and it never came back,” Knapp added.

With the opening of the Area 51 exhibit — which reveals the secret work that went on there in the development of military stealth technology — is there also the implication or suggestion that the government is ready to acknowledge that some UFOs may have a truly out-of-this-world origin?

The overall Smithsonian mission includes “shaping the future by preserving our heritage, discovering new knowledge, and sharing our resources with the world.” Now it appears that statement includes possible debris from a crashed UFO.

Maybe this Area 51 “authentic alien artifact” display is another step forward on the road to ET disclosure.

Within the walls of Tulum, artifacts have been found dating back to the first century AD, a stele exists which dates to the fifth century AD while much of the architecture dates to the 12th century AD.

In addition the surrounding areas clearly show occupation from as early as the 3rd Century BC or what we call the Pre-classic period of the Maya.

Tulum and the Descending God

Descending God over the entrance of the Temple of the Descending God Tulum is the home of the Descending God. The Descending God has been so named by the archaeological community because He is always shown with his feet in the air as if he is descending from the sky.

Many people, including anthropologists, archaeologists and guides have erroneously stated that the Descending God is only found in Tulum. This has been done out of ignorance or in some cases a simple desire to skirt the entire issue of the Descending God and what He potentially represents.

“2012 will be a momentous occasion, not only for Belize’s large Maya population, but for all Belizeans,” said Yanick Dalhouse, the Belize Tourism Board’s Director of Marketing. “Given the amount of interest we’re seeing from around the world, it’s generating global excitement as well.”

Dalhouse is referring to the year 2012′s significance as the end of the Maya Long Count calendar, a 5,125-year period of time which ends exactly on Gregorian calendar date December 21, 2012, the winter solstice. The date was inscribed in stone 1300 years ago near modern-day Tabasco, Mexico and its actual significance is debated among academics and theorists. There are hundreds of books on the subject and probably hundreds of theories, but the implication for Guatemala, southern Mexico, and Belize is clear and immediate: more visitors.

This region — along with parts of Honduras and El Salvador — make up the Mundo Maya, a diverse tropical region which includes the flat lowlands of the Yucatan peninsula and the verdant high country of Guatemala. A vast kingdom of city-states once dominated this region, but by 900 A.D. the Maya had abandoned their grand urban centers to Mother Nature, who hid them for half a millennium. Today, some ten million Maya descendants still live in the region and speak 30 indigenous Mayan languages.

In the southern Mexican states of Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Yucatán, officials are expecting 52 million visitors next year (both domestic and international), and are planning over 500 Maya cultural events throughout the year. President Felipe Calderon announced this at a special summer solstice press conference in 2011 to launch Mexico’s Maya 2012 tourism efforts.

Meanwhile, the city of Tapachula has erected a countdown clock in the town square and resorts along the Riviera Maya are planning special reenactments of the Maya ball game and Sacred Mayan Journey, in which hundreds of paddlers travel in canoes to the island of Cozumel to pay homage to the goddess Ixchel. There are academic Maya studies symposiums being held in Antigua, Uxmal, and Belize

City in 2012 and plenty of still-unannounced concerts and gatherings.

Lucy Fleming, a lodge owner in Belize and co-chair of the National Maya 2012 Committee, which is made up of representatives from the Belize Tourism Board, the National Institute of Culture and History, and industry partners, says, “Living in the heartland of the Maya, we sometimes lose sight of the fact that the rest of the world actually knows very little of this fascinating civilization and their incredible achievements.”

Ms Fleming’s resort property, the Lodge at Chaa Creek, will be hosting a year of activities, special tours, solstice and equinox ceremonies, workshops, and seminars “to introduce the world to the marvels of the ancient Maya civilization.”

The idea, she says, is “to celebrate 2012 with the respect, excitement and significance it deserves.”

Katie Valk, founder and director of Belize-Trips.com, is a Belize travel specialist who is already seeing increased bookings for 2012 over last year. When clients ask about visiting Maya communities, she often steers them to the southern Toledo district, where several programs try to ensure rural Maya communities see some of the trickle-down from tourism.

People in the Maya communities of Toledo, she says, are divided on the issues of oil drilling and hardwood extraction from protected areas, which is not difficult to understand with so many people living below the poverty level.

“We need to include these people in any benefits derived [from tourism],” says Ms  Valk, “and offer attractive employment opportunities working to protect, rather than destroy, the environment.”

Major airlines have already committed approximately 37,000 additional airline seats to Belize in 2012, compared to 2011 according to Anthony Hunt, a representative of the tourism sector on Belize’s Civil Aviation Authority Board who claims there is no evidence that this increase is due to the Mayan calendar.

Hunt says the reason for the new seats is “confidence of the airlines in the strength, stability and growth of the Belize tourism product,” but that product is currently being sold under the 2012 tourism board tagline, “Where will you be when the world begins anew?”

Gaspar Pedro González, a Guatemalan novelist and professor at University Mariano Gálvez, grew up in a Q’anjobal Maya village in the Cuchumatan Mountains and has some concerns about the tourism apocalypse.

“Most Maya are not in the capital,” he said, “they’re out in the villages and communities.” And most traditional tourism infrastructure “is not in Maya hands. It is in white people’s hands, the Ladinos, they benefit more from tourism economically. But if foreigners want to visit the more remote villages, to visit this essence of the culture, this essence of life, they should go to the smallest villages where they have conserved the Mayan languages and form of life. Surely the Maya will benefit from this tourism.”

In 2012, he says, visitors should seek out the opportunity “to meet actual Maya, see their customs, their traditions, their form of life, and learn about their mysticism and philosophy.” Even though, he says, in rural Guatemala, “There aren’t as many comforts, only simple pensiones. But that is where you’ll find the essence of life and the essence of the culture.”

Whether or not the Maya benefit from the interest in their culture generated by a foretold (or not) Armageddon will depend largely on the priorities of travelers. The year will prove a success for native communities only if foreigners desire more than to rubberneck at the end of the world.

Ancient UFOs; scores of videos and photographs; military and government officials offering credible testimony; thousands of pages of previously classified documents; disk and dorito-shaped craft; an official state highway marker erected to commemorate the most widely publicized UFO abduction story in history; petitions sent to the White House asking the Obama administration to release all UFO information; an alleged alien spaceship hiding near the planet Mercury; an ET reportedly photographed standing in a Brazilian rainforest; and a theologian who says religious believers are ready to share a pew with aliens.

These and much more were all there for consideration in 2011. With the proliferation of so many video cameras and phone cams, it’s not surprising that, according to the Mutual UFO Network — the largest privately funded UFO research organization in the world — there were 67 percent more reports of unidentified flying objects in 2011, compared to 2008.

In early April 2011, the FBI created a new website, The Vault, which gives the public an opportunity to view documents in an online “electronic reading room.” Some of the 2,000-plus documents are about UFOs. While the U.S. government has always maintained UFOs don’t warrant any serious investigation, documents from the late 1940s indicate FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s interest in UFOs. Pictured is a 1947 document sent by a Wisconsin agent to Hoover, concerning a small, disc-shaped object found at a fairground that contained a photoelectric cell, electric motor and a propeller. While agents felt it was “made by some juvenile,” it’s noteworthy that they felt it important enough to inform Hoover about it.

The first annual Women’s UFO Symposium is scheduled for May 2012 in Texas.

Some YouTube documentaries about the Apollo 11 mission are given below, and reveal that the moon may be home base for UFOs. Other videos are available for the other Apollo moon missions.

The famous painting titled “The Baptism of Christ” hangs on the wall in the 
Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England.

The painting was done in 1710 by Flemish artist Aert De Gelder. The painting depicts a UFO shining beams of light down on John the Baptist and Jesus.

The white circular UFO depicted here in the famous painting is quite similar to pictures taken on July 7, 2010 of the UFO in China. On the night of July 7, 2010, a UFO flew into the airspace of the Xiaoshan Airport near Hangzhou, the capital of east China’s Zhejiang Province. The airport closed all flights in and out from 9 pm to 10 pm as the UFO was tracked on radar. Around 1am that evening just after the airport had reopened, Hangzhou residents reported seeing large, brightly lit UFO in the sky.

Two pictures of the UFO over China taken on July 7, 2010 are provided below.

This sophisticated facility is on Andros Island in the Bahamas just west of Nassau. As indicated in the five 8-minute History Channel videos below, some scientists and researchers believe the USA monitors UFOs coming and going from near the AUTEC facility.

The videos feature interviews with former AUTEC employees and managers as well as scientists and researchers on-site.

Located on the southeast corner of the Bermuda

Triangle where planes and ships have disappeared, AUTEC

includes three test ranges: the Weapons Range, the Acoustic Range, and the FORACS Range. These ranges are located in the Tongue of the Ocean (TOTO), a deep-ocean basin approximately 100 nautical miles long by 15 nautical miles wide with depths as great as 6,000 feet.

The Weapons Range is capable of tracking up to 63 in-water objects simultaneously and provides AN/WQC-2A Sonar Communications Sets and Bi-Directional Communications Nodes for underwater voice communications with mobile underwater objects at extreme depths.

AUTEC’s in-air tracking is provided by radars and other systems out 500 nautical miles and to a height of 70,000 feet.

The first painting, titled “The Annunciation,” was ?painted by Carlo Crivelli in 1486. The painting is on display in the National Gallery in London. Notice that a UFO is shining a beam of light ?through the house wall and down onto the top of Mary’s head.

The second painting is by the Netherlandish master artist Jan van Eyck and was completed between 1435.  Titled “The Annunciation,” this famous oil painting hangs today in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.  This picture shows the seven rays of light (from the UFO?) coming through the upper window to the left, with a dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit following the same path.  Biblical scholars believe this is the moment god’s plan for salvation is set in motion, with the old era of the Law being transformed into the new era of Grace.

The inscription of this painting show Archangel Gabriel’s words  “AVE GRA PLENA ” or “Hail, full of grace.” Mary modestly draws back and responds, “ECCE ANCILLA  DNI” or “Behold the handmaiden of the Lord.” Her words are painted upside down for God above to see.
