Man in Black to play legendary UFO insider in new movie… but no UFOs on the radar
by UFO updates on Jan.19, 2012, under Breaking News
Men in Black star Tommy Lee Jones has secured the part of General Douglas MacArthur in the upcoming historical drama, Emperor, which ComingSoon.net describes as “an epic story of love and understanding set amidst the tensions and uncertainties of the days immediately following the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II.” MacArthur – as the de facto ruler of post-War Japan in his role as Supreme Commander of the occupying forces – will be a major character in the story.
Emperor is based on a screenplay by David Klass (Walking Tall, Desperate Measures) and Vera Blasi (Woman on Top). It stars Matthew Fox as General Bonner Fellers, “one of MacArthur’s leading Japanese experts, who, at the end of World War II, is charged with reaching a decision of historical importance: should Emperor Hirohito be tried and hanged as a war criminal?”

What’s that sound? The "Hum" Heard ‘Round The World
by UFO updates on Nov.13, 2011, under Breaking News
Here is that email (edited to remove personal information).
"I live in the [removed] subdivision of Round Rock Texas. I've been awakened in recent weeks by strange humming noises, like at 3am this morning. I was first awakened by my one year old talking in his sleep through the baby monitor. Then around 2:55am I awakened to a humming which changed frequency several times. Usually it's just one frequency. The A/C was off and an inspection of the sky showed no aircraft or high wind. I was unable to sleep all night and felt sick, stomach ache and generally restless and uneasy. At about 10am this morning (11/12/2011) there were 7 military copters in formation flying low over our home. Two times in the last 4 months there have been large military formations flying over our house at around 3-4am. Once I slept through it but my husband was awakened and disturbed. The other time I was awakened and it was so close to our house that the windows were shaking and I ran to get the baby because I thought they were crashing on us. What the heck is going on around here?!"

MUFON Case # 29788
Date: 2011-06-25
Location: Somewhere over New Jersey
Shape: Oval,Sphere,Other
Vallee Index: AN1
Report:
My encounter takes place on June 25, 2011 on Delta flight 2363 leaving out of JFK (New York) heading to LAX (Los Angeles), departure time 7:00pm.
The first strange thing about the flight was that they rushed us onboard. I had specifically asked at the service desk previously whether the flight was going to arrive and take off on time, and I was told that it was. So I was surprised that an announcement came on the overhead telling people to take their seats as quickly as possible because we were the first cleared for immediate take off. People were still boarding the plane, and rushing up the aisle to their seats because of this sense of urgency. I was sitting on the right hand side of plane by the window, at the emergency exit. There was a young woman next to me and a young man on the other side of her. A flight attendant came by and asked us if we had any problem with helping out during an emergency since we were sitting by the emergency exits. I said no and so did the guy, but the girl next to me had headphones on and was sleeping apparently. The attendant made her wake up because he needed a verbal response. She made some kind of response but the words couldn't be understood, and sounded unusual. I'm pretty good with accents, and couldn't place it at all. It sounded like more than an accent issue. The attendant repeated himself a couple times because he couldn't understand either, and finally the guy sitting with us said she understood and agreed. The attendant left, and I didn't see him again. A new attendant came and strapped himself into the seatbelts on the wall infront of our three seats. He was tall, extremely thin, bald with tan skin. He never smiled or made eye contact like normal attendants do. After take off, he left. The lavatories/restrooms were on the other side of the wall infront of us. One was in my line of sight because it was diagonal to where we were sitting. A female attendant with a strange, wobbly walk kept going back and forth checking into the bathrooms. I noticed the bald, male attendant started to do it too. About an hour or so into the flight I went to the restroom. There was something in the air in there that was making me cough badly. I returned to my seat having a coughing fit. A few other passengers who went to the restroom started coughing too I noticed.
When the food cart came around I got an apple juice and some cookies. Again I started coughing violently due to a tingly feeling in my throat. I don't have any known food allergies. Usually when people start coughing, other people move away, but the girl next to me took off her sweater jacket and actually moved closer. I noticed a very sweet perfume smell wafting from her and the guy's direction. When random people started going past for the restrooms, some of them would smell unusually foul, others would smell sweet. It was very strange. Two men, one of them with no shoes or socks on, started doing stretching exercises by the restroom doors.
Then I started to have a pulse go through my body at different intervals (like a mild electric pulse that contracted some muscles and spread upwards). I couldn't control it and didn't know what was causing it. It would literally make me jump in my seat at times, and I noticed whenever this happened, I would hear the people in rows behind me react with laughter, whistles, chirping bird-like sounds, and something that sounded like a purr. It did not sound human at all, except for the laughs/giggles. The guy sitting one seat from me was on some kind of computer device that looked like an ipad.
When I looked out the window about three or more hours into flight, I noticed unusual cloud cover. It was dark, roiling clouds. At this altitude, clouds are usually flat and non distinct beneath you. But these were like foamy rain clouds, and near the plane. A amber yellow light started to streak the clouds and illuminate them. Then they started to fade into wisps. Outside the plane, beyond the right wing and slightly behind, a yellow oval light was following plane. And as I looked below, a bunch of lights started to appear. They were clustered together in spherical formation at the center of a web-like arangement. A few lights in linear formation would branch off from some of the center clusters (like spokes on a wheel). They were white, amber, yellow lights. I would have to describe it as a fleet. They kept pace with the plane for awhile, 10-15 minutes. I was having trouble staring out window because the pulses through my body had increased in frequency and intensity. When I looked away from window it would stop. When I looked back it would start again. I was being trained not to look out the window.
The girl next to me started stretching alot. At one point she leaned all the way forwards for awhile and I could see that her torso looked alot longer than before, and something was going on with her shoulder blades. When she sat back up her head, which had been lower than mine's before was now on level with mine's at minimum. She turned to look at me and out the corner of my eye I could tell her face had significantly lengthened. Her eyes seemed more prominent. I did not turn my head to look. I wish that I had, but at the time I was in shock. She looked away, and in a few minutes deliberately touched her foot to my lower leg. I got a tingle sensation that was different from the pulses. She went back to sleeping position when I didn't move or look. The guy one seat over from me was tapping away at the computer device, and every time he gave a big tap I would get a pulse. Then sometimes he would lean forward and hold his head, or lean his head back in the seat, and then I would get a series of intense pulses. He looked over at me a couple of times, and left me with no doubt it was him doing it.
At the end of the flight when we got off, I noticed the girl went off with a large group of people from the plane in the baggage claim area. She also had an unusual gait. I'd like to note that there was absolutely no turbulence on the plane ride. Smoothest ride I've ever taken, and I fly quite a bit. Also, at no point did I feel threatened...in shock yes, but not threatened or fearful for my life. And my asthma symptoms were much improved for days afterward. I'd just like answeres to what happened. I think about it every minute, every second.

I'm from Los Angeles and I saw something just like that a few days ago (maybe Monday?). It was headed West to East around 6:50am. It was north and slightly west of downtown because I was in traffic on the 110 N heading into downtown.
This was around sunrise and I'd never seen a shooting star when it's not strictly night. It's also one of the brightest shooting stars I've ever seen, and it was a greenish tint. I saw IO9 report on this and hoped they had an answer as to what I saw!
I responded and asked:
First, did the object appear to be in our atmosphere and if so, how close to Earth?
Second, did IO9 have an answer?
JJ's response:
Hey!
I would say yes, it appeared to be in the atmosphere. It was pretty low and was visible for a good three - 3.5 seconds. Maybe a fist, fist and a half above the horizon? I'm not sure how far north of me it was, but it was directly aligned with the freeway. Sitting in traffic, I was staring STRAIGHT at it as it ran west to east. I was somewhere between the A and the B points on this map, although I think I was much closer to A than B:
Link to Google map
If you click on "A" it should take you to the street view, which is very close to the view I was seeing.
Io9 unfortunately had no answer. The headline was "Did you see this bright green light zooming overhead earlier this week" and I clicked because I did and wanted to know what it was! They only quoted your site, though. I'd love to know what it was!

MUFON Case # 28396
Date: 2011-03-23
Time: 21:15 GMT
City: Fort Worth
State: Texas
Shape: Bullet/Missile,Circle,Fireball,Sphere,Star-like
Vallee Index: AN1
Summary: GLOWING GREEN LIGHT SHOOTING FROM SKY
Report:
SITTING OUTSIDE ON FRONT PORCH WITH MY HUSBAND. HUSBAND NOTICED TO THE SOUTH A FORMATION OF AIRCRAFT WHICH APPEARED LIKE A VERY LOW-FLYING AIRPLANE. AT THE SAME TIME TO THE WEST NORTHWEST I SAW A BRIGHT GREEN LIGHT FALLING IN A SOUTH TO NORTH STRAIGHT PATTERN IN A SLOW DESCENT TOWARD THE GROUND. ITS APPEARANCE WAS SIMILAR TO A SHOOTING STAR, BUT MUCH LARGER, BRIGHT GLOWING GREEN, AND FOLLOWED BY WHAT LOOKED LIKE A TRAIL OF FIRE. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS WAS A SHOOTING STAR. IMMEDIATELY AFTER ITS DISAPPEARANCE INTO THE TREELINE, THE AIRCRAFT TO THE SOUTH GOT CLOSER TO OUR HOME AND TURNED OUT TO BE 3 HELICOPTERS FLYING IN A TIGHT TRIANGULAR FORMATION. THE LEAD HELICOPTER SEEMED TO HAVE A SEARCH LIGHT ON. THE REAR TWO HELICOPTERS HAD NO SPOTLIGHT, ONLY A RED INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE FRONT OF THE CRAFT. THEY CONTINUED IN A NORTHBOUND FLIGHT AND DISAPPEARED.

MUFON Case # 28401
Date: 2011-03-23
City: Ft Worth
State: Texas
Vallee Index: AN1
Summary: (clarification of event) strange comet in sky
Report:
Just to clarify the details of my sighting of the green sphere or (fireball) in the sky the night of the 23rd: this comes after reading a couple of other Tx reports of the same type of sightings on the same night. Before the actual 5 second occurence, I also saw three craft, and in my perspective, these were small civilian aircraft often seen coming to and from our local small airports, nothing of extrateresstrial origin. These three craft flew from east to west and seemed to be an equal distance apart, going at the same speed across the sky and the green ball event happened within a few minutes after they flew by. This may help to exact my time of sighting. The ball also went from the south to north direction, but from my vantage point did not go as far as I30...Could be more than one ball that night?

Update - Additional Report:
MUFON Case # 28411
Date: 2011-03-23
Time: 21:15
City: Frisco
State: Texas
Shape: Circle,Fireball
Distance: 20 feet or less
Vallee Index: MA1
Summary: Bright Green Fireball with a little white glow
Report:
While driving on Ohio drive in Frisco the sky was very clear. I saw what appeared to be a green fireball. It reminded me of 4th of July fireworks however it was just one fireball and very large. My 13 year old was in the car and I yelled "look" and we both were like wow. We determined it couldn't be a meteor as we saw a meteor shower two summers ago and it looked nothing like that. We also said why would someone just shoot one firework in the sky and it didn't drop pieces of fire. It just very slowly shot across the sky and went down and just dissappeared. There was also what appeared to be an airplane traveling in the same direction and I was wondering if they saw what we saw.
