That article struck me interesting because as far as flying machines are concerned, we (humans) have been toying with alternative designs and engineering since post WWII.
And now the government addresses the USO at a time when they are gaining greater public attention. Coincidence?

I'm not having a wealth of luck looking in English language Chinese news sites. EDIT: Found another photo An unidentified flying object disrupted air traffic over Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang province, late Wednesday, the municipal government said Thursday. Xiaoshan Airport was closed after the UFO was detected at around 9 pm and some flights were rerouted to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi cities, said an airport spokesman. The airport had resumed operations and more details would be revealed after an investigation, he said.

www.telegraph.co.uk/science/7872645/Pentagon-plans-flying-submarine.htmlPentagon plans 'flying submarine'Pentagon researchers are attempting to develop a military vehicle which can travel underwater like a submarine before bursting out of the waves and flying like an aeroplane. By Tom Chivers Published: 1:50PM BST 05 Jul 2010 The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the US military science and technology department, has set about creating an aircraft that can fly low over the water until near its target before disappearing under the sea to avoid detection. It would then creep closer in submarine form before attacking its target, probably a ship or coastal installation, and fly home. New Scientist reports that the project, which has been in development since 2008, has reached design proposal stage, and several outside developers have submitted designs. DARPA could start allocating funding to developers in as little as a year. While the principles of hydrodynamic and aerodynamic flight are similar, the technological challenges are profound. Aircraft need to be as light as possible, so that they can use a minimum of power to get airborne, while submarines need to be dense and strong to withstand water pressure. Heavier-than-air aircraft get their lift from airflow over their wings - submarines simply pump water in and out to change their buoyancy. One method of getting around the latter problem is to design a submarine that is lighter than water, but - like an upside-down aeroplane - uses lift generated by its wings to force it away from the surface. Then, after surfacing, the wings' "angle of attack" would be changed to generate upwards lift instead, allowing it to fly. Graham Hawkes, a submarine designer, believes that modern lightweight carbon fibre composites could be used to build a craft that is both strong enough and light enough to fly above and below the water. He has already designed and built a submersible craft called the "Super Falcon" which uses stubby wings to "fly" down to 300 metres. He says that if it were given jet engines and larger wings, it could fly at up to 900kph (560mph) in the air, while still being capable of underwater travel at around 18kph (11mph). At these speeds, the behaviour of water and air over the control surfaces is similar. "Think about it as flying under water," says Mr Hawkes. "It can be done. It just needs a lot of work." One problem could be overcome in a dramatic fashion - in order to get the wings to start generating downward lift, the craft would have to get underwater; but a lighter-than-water vessel would struggle to do so. Mr Hawkes suggests copying birds: "You might have to put the nose down and literally dive, smack, into the water. It would certainly be spectacular." There are a variety of other design problems to overcome. Ordinary batteries capable of giving the craft a 44km (28 mile) range - as specified by DARPA - would weigh more than the rest of the vessel, but running it on ordinary fuel would require a supply of air, meaning a snorkel and a maximum depth of just a few meters. Also, jet engines - which run at several hundred degrees celsius - would most likely explode from the sudden change in temperature if they were rapidly submerged after airborne use, but piston engines would not survive being immersed in water. Jim McKenna, an engineer at the UK Civil Aviation Authority, says: "You can't let cold seawater get at a hot engine because the thermal shock will blow it apart." The Pentagon's dream of a flying submarine is still some way away yet.

I'm glad to hear this progress has been made. He's committed himself to this and won't give up until he has an answer. I recall in a vid he said he's practically had to take a vow of poverty for this project.

This is Shocking! The guy's having to stop his research after Threats on his Life. I wonder what hes really found out To have your life threatend for doing some research seems really Harsh to say the least, he must have come across something he wasnt supposed to have. Whats everyone else think of this ? Agreed. Even making this announcement was quite brave. I don't know if he's willing to give an interview so soon, would be nice, but perhaps in the future when things cool off he might be willing to write a book or give an interview.

Thank you, Mr. Indigo. I have read before the time loss dilemma and fog also though I cannot recall any material at the moment. It is possible you had some sort of ET experience, but there could have been a........I don't know how to say.......you could have unwittingly crossed a temporary electromagentic (EM) event. Fortunately in this time of history such events and the effects they have are being seriously investgated though only by a few. Sometimes these events cause people to 'zone out' and operate on auto pilot for a moment, sometimes they cause people to witness things that transpired in the area a long time ago, and sometimes the event erases a veil allowing them to see things in a different 'dimension'. Do you recall having a headache? Did you have to 'shake it off' to return to normal? Your eyes, they were alright after you returned to awareness? I have a reason for asking those questions, I hope you don't mind. Evidently this has not happened since. Do you know of others experiencing this? Have you had the opportunity to research the history of the area? This is very interesting! I can't thank you enough!

I wonder if that area is on some sort of grid line that makes things go haywire? Just a thought. My thoughts exactly. It could have been Coco entering a small energetic pocket rift. It's well known that the powers that be like to build on sites of energy. How-ever, I believe that only certain folks who have accessed portions of higher consciousness may have the ability to bring out these effects, essentially being catalysts. Hmm. I will say that since moving to Texas my empathic ability has diminished but is not entirely absent. I am no longer near the sea and the air here is dry. While in Florida my ability to 'feel', to 'know' and on rare ocassion 'see' was greater or stronger. I have tried to research this thing. I was of the notion that you either had it or you didn't. Florida is a peninsula, that is land jutting into the water and surrounded by water on three sides. In my case, sea water/salt water. The air is thick with humidity year round. In warm times it hovers in the 80-90 percentile range, in the winter it backs down to the 60-70 percentile range, unless there is a 'hard' cold spell when humidity can dip into the 50's. I don't remember if Florida or the Tampa Bay area is the lightning capital of North America, but I can assure you there is lightning often, even if it doesn't rain because there is such a statically charged atmosphere. It's not uncommoon to see lightning at night though the weather is nice, we call it heat lightning. Many, but not all, TV and radio stations built on or near the water. I have a theory about warm, salt water and humid, electronically charged air, but I can't really find any material to study. Such an environment could be attractive for our ET friends. I know it is attractive for the more terrestrial 'mysteries', which are not so mysterious for me - or perhaps I was simply more sensitive to them there. Florida attracts all types of people, there is high crime there as well as the ordinary and the flamboyant - something like California I guess. I don't know if there are ley lines there but the state is near the Bermuda triangle and the SE military bases where sensitive (secret) activities take place.

Is there any Military activity around there? Do you know of any 'Spiritual' sites around the area? MacDill Air Force Base is in South Tampa on a peninsula. It would take about maybe thirty minutes to drive there from the spot I was - on one heck of a good traffic day. Otherwise geographically speaking, the base is not really far. As I said I was just north of Tampa International Airport. A large airport that probably has more electronics than I will ever imagine and that's why I wonder if somehow, someway my vehilces were affected on some weird fluke - which would not be extraordinary for me. Sacred sites? Not to my knowledge but that does not mean anything. That part of the city was once swampy and damp a very long time ago. Builders expanding the city built canals to drain the soil of water. It was and is still a common practice in Florida. So it's very possible Indians inhabited that specific location, Indian artifacts are still being found in the state, but it would have been a very, very long time ago.

Rumor has it that the vid 'is being researched by experts globally', yet no one can seen to seem to answer who or what agencies. Not one.
I read Mrbeehat's posts on YT yesterday and I just feel this vid is not genuine by reviewing it.

Good heavens this thing has escalated in the blogosphere - ET has red, glowing eyes, he has the ability of invisibility (when he was really wavering in and out of the light in shot at the beginning), they can see the ET in 3-D, IR photography was used, etc.

As far as the person being very skinny: There are some young men who are skinny as a rail. My ex husband being one. When he was a teenager and young man he couldn't put on an ounce. He was a rail. Yes, I can imagine him in the ET suit in the vid - back in his youth.

I'm calling hoax as well. How calm would a person be shooting a man from outer space on your porch? Even if they heard noises prior, snuck around the windows expecting to see an animal or even a prowler but then they spot - a Martian! And they're too cool to grab the camera AND hold it very steady AND silent? Why no mention of such in the description? And besides, I think the hoaxer and Arizona shops at the same costume store. See 4:14 of the this video. The silverly suit, albeit loose fitting, the head, THE HANDS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1evXE9WB4f4Also, the Canadian ET has a curved upper back - been sitting in front of the XBox for a while has he? Those of us who spend a great deal of time in front of a computer or video game tend to get lazy and adopt a C-shaped curvature to the spine as opposed to the healthy and correct S-shape. Just my opinion. Not to mention there is a person on YT asking Mrbeehat questions about this. Is that person a genuine researcher playing 'good cop' trying to milk Mrbeehat for information he can hang him with? Is he a serious hobbyist? Or is he a plant as he mentioned that Mrbeehat and he have conversed via PM and seems genuine. Why mention that publically unless you are trying to sway public opinion? The whole thing stinks on ice.

(I really hope I have posted these in their correct order. Go to the limits of human experience...and beyond. From the fringes of the galaxy to our own backyards, the UFO FILES searches for evidence of life beyond our world. Tracing the long, convoluted history of UFO encounters and research, this unique series opens new windows into the controversial field. In this hour, we'll dive deeper into the ongoing mystery of USOs--Underwater Submerged Objects--UFOs that have reportedly been witnessed going into and out of Earth's oceans. The show features a dive into the Santa Catalina Channel near Los Angeles to search for trace evidence of a 1992 USO event--a detailed account of the USS FDR, a magnet for USO and UFOs from the early 1950s until its decommissioning in the 1970s, with at least eight major sightings. Australia's famous Tully Water-Crop Circle Case is explored, as well as many other astounding and recent USO cases from the US and the world. Interviews include USS FDR veterans Chet Gruisinsky and Harry Jordan, USO researcher Dr. Stephen Greer, and Australian UFO expert Bill Chaulker. www.youtube.com/watch?v=afXCAQQeDck&feature=relatedwww.youtube.com/watch?v=skVRhfxdmME&feature=relatedwww.youtube.com/watch?v=s-ooSNqYXOk&feature=relatedwww.youtube.com/watch?nPbXumz7Y3w&feature=relatedwww.youtube.com/watch?v=shRl1p_ufeo&feature=related

news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/south_east/8491398.stm Professor's alien life 'seed' theory claimedNew evidence from astrobiology "overwhelmingly" supports the view that life was seeded from outside Earth, a scientist has claimed. Prof Chandra Wickramasinghe of Cardiff University says the first microbes were deposited on Earth 3,800m years ago. The astrobiologist has helped developed the panspermia theory which suggests an extra-terrestrial origin for life. He argues for a cycle of life as microbes find their way into comets and "multiply and seed other planets". In the article, published in the International Journal of Astrobiology, Monday, he argues humans and indeed all life on Earth is of alien origin, brought onto the planet by comets hitting the planet. Prof Wickramasinghe, of Cardiff University's centre for astrobiology, says there is a cyclical transfer process of life from planet to planet. He believes comets hit planets and push living organic matter out into space, some of which survives and in turn gets transferred to developing planetary systems over a timescale of millions and millions of years, seeding life on the newly formed planets. He accepts this model still does not explain how life actually began in the first place, but says there is no hard evidence to support the theory that life only began in a "primordial soup" on Earth, or other places. Over the past three decades research has shown that large swathes of the Milky Way are strewn with gigantic dust clouds full of organic molecules, which some people have argued shows life emerging independently from new in these clouds. In his paper, he says recent interpretation of spectra readings from the organic molecules found in interstellar clouds has indicated that they are in fact the remains of bacteria which has been broken down, rather than being built up. "Interstellar clouds appear to be the graveyard of life not its cradle," he said. "Each time a new planetary system forms a few surviving microbes find their way into comets. These then multiply and seed other planets," he said. He adds: "We are thus part of a connected chain of being that extends over a large volume of the cosmos. Evidence is pointing inexorably in this direction." The professor and his late colleague Sir Fred Hoyle championed the panspermia theory from the 1960s.

news.yahoo.com/s/space/20100524/sc_space/secretx37bspaceplanespottedbyamateurskywatchersSecret X-37B Space Plane Spotted by Amateur SkywatchersWhile the U.S. Air Force is mum about the orbital whereabouts of its X-37B mini-space plane, a dedicated band of amateur skywatchers has got its cross-hairs on the spacecraft. The unpiloted X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle 1 was lofted on April 22 atop an Atlas launcher. It is being flown under the auspices of the U.S. Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office. In U.S. military tracking parlance, when the space plane reached orbit it became identified as Catalog Number 36514, 2010-015A, OTV-1 (USA 212). From there it entered a cone of silence regarding any on-orbit duties. But thanks to a worldwide eyes-on-the-sky network of amateurs, the spacecraft is reportedly in a 39.99 degrees inclination, circling the Earth in an orbit 401 kilometers by 422 kilometers. This data may change slightly as the vehicle's orbit is better refined, said Greg Roberts of Cape Town, South Africa, a pioneer in using telescopic video cameras to track spacecraft, chalking up exceptional results over the years. The Air Force has not said what the robotic ship is for, but analysts say the X-37B is likely a spy craft and almost surely not a weapon. Absolute confidenceRoberts said that those sighting the craft have "absolute confidence" in their observations, claiming no chance of it being anything else. "The fact that we have now seen it several times confirms that the orbit we have is very close to the real orbit -- perhaps an error of a few kilometers or so at most," he told SPACE.com. "One of our North American members got a brief view of what was suspected to be the space plane under somewhat difficult circumstances before it was no longer visible in the evening sky from the United States," Roberts said. That single observation was not enough to define the spacecraft's inclination as the skywatcher used binoculars, Roberts added. Video observers of the sky get "traces" when they record the object of interest, he continued, so it's possible to determine the angle of travel and hence an idea of the inclination. Roberts said the space plane has been observed over the last week by several members and its orbit is properly tied down. "We now face a spell of a week to two weeks when there will be no optical visibility until it becomes a morning object in the southern hemisphere and an evening object in the northern hemisphere." The degree of difficulty in finding the X-37B has been a product of not knowing its inclination and having limited optical visibility due to its low orbiting altitude. Amateur astronomers learn how to spot satellites by tracking spacecraft orbits and finding when they may fly over viewing areas on the ground. "This means it spends most of its time in Earth's shadow during a pass," Roberts said. Also the ship's low inclination and altitude has meant that tracking has only been possible from mid-latitude, ruling out observations by some of the members of the team unless they are in position at very low elevations. According to Ted Molczan, a leader in the satellite sleuthing business based in Toronto, the X-37B search was moderately challenging. "It was the first launch of its kind, so we had only a rough idea of its altitude, inclination and plane. Its low altitude and inclination put it out of reach of several of our most skilled observers," he told SPACE.com. Molczan said his role was estimating the range of possible orbits in which the space plane might be found, which was the basis for the searches. "The object is moderately bright. Based on the limited tracking so far, I estimate that it will reach about magnitude 2.5 when observed at high elevation above the horizon, and well illuminated by the sun. That is similar to the brightest stars of the Big Dipper," Molczan said. Nighttime fixationWhat's behind the nighttime fixation on the X-37B? "Well the challenge is finding it without much data to go on," Roberts responded. "If the data were freely available we would probably not have bothered with it. I see little sense in tracking objects for which data is freely available. It's like re-inventing the wheel. So as long as there are missions with little or no information, I personally will be interested in the challenge of finding them." Roberts said that the sky watching group has a pretty good record. "If memory is correct, we have found and are tracking every single object launched in the past five years or more. The only objects we are not able to track are those stationed over areas of the earth where we have no active observers…mainly the central Pacific Ocean area." Next up on the Roberts "to-do" list is attempting to see if the space plane is emitting any radio signals on the frequency bands that he's able to monitor. "That is going to be an even bigger challenge," Roberts concluded, "and I'm not really that keen on it as it's like looking for a needle in a haystack!" Mystery manifestStill, even with the ground observations, exactly what's tucked inside the X-37B's cargo hold -- about the size of a pickup truck bed -- remains a mystery.The X-37B signals a new way for the Air Force to conduct on-orbit experiments, said Gary Payton, Air Force deputy under secretary for space programs, during a pre-launch press briefing teleconference last month. "Actual on-orbit activities we do classify...for the experimental payloads that are on-orbit with the X-37," he noted. Payton did indicate that there's enough payload room on the mini-space shuttle to house a couple of small satellites in the range of a few hundred kilograms each. There is growing speculation that the vehicle is likely toting Earth spying gear for the National Reconnaissance Office. The reusable X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle 1 was built by Boeing Phantom Works. It is about 29 feet (9 meters) long and has a wingspan of just over 14 feet (4 meters) across. It stands just over 9 1/2 feet (3 meters) tall and weighs nearly 11,000 pounds (about 5,000 kg). Big test aheadThe OTV 1 mission is also designed to test new technologies and develop ways to make space access more routine, affordable and responsive. The OTV is the first vehicle since NASA's shuttle orbiter capable of returning experiments to Earth for further inspection and analysis. A second X-37B is now being fabricated for a test mission scheduled for 2011. X-37B is being operated under the direction of Air Force Space Command's 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron, a space control unit located at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado. Capable of orbiting Earth for up to 270 days, a big test for the X-37B is ahead: A "do-it-itself" guided entry and wheels down runway landing at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, with Edwards Air Force Base as an alternate site. If the incoming space plane strays off its auto-pilot trajectory over the Pacific Ocean, the craft is outfitted with a destruct mechanism.

He is past editor-in-chief of the National Space Society's Ad Astra and Space World magazines and has written for SPACE.com since 1999.

Well, yes you're right. If Hawkings, a very respected, high profile figure in the contemporary scientific community speaks of the possibility of alien in a realistic sense then it might open some eyes and ears, but no, I'm not going to hold my breath either.

Hawkings has a point that the new and unknown should be approached with caution, but on the other hand his presentation of the subject fans the flames of hysteria and I cannot agree with that.
