The skies are coming to life these days and many are craning their necks, pointing their cameras at the heavens while prophesying from their computer keyboards: something is happening, but what? Many are seeing fast moving orbs that appear on camera for only seconds. Many are obsessed with contrails, or as some call them chem-trails, around which and through which they are filming these fast-moving orbs. The following video is an example:
Many of these videographers seem to feel a responsibility, a duty to expose whatever it is that is happening. Take for example this compilation from a set of videos coming out of the New York City area.
You may have heard of the once famous Prophet Yahweh who summoned UFOs in Las Vegas. Now, he has a prodigée in New York who calls himself ProphetEzikel. He too seems to feel he has some special connection with the orbs in the sky, that he is a partner in some sort of revelation.
There are a plethora of these orb videos all over YouTube. Some posters are even claiming to capture these mysterious orbs with infrared and/or night vision technology. The obsession seems to be more than just a few kooks trying to get famous by posting their questionable UFO videos on YouTube. They are filming objects that are very similar. They have a genuine belief that they are part of something important. It is as if they are being called to be a part of an event, part of a revelation. Are these the false prophets warned about in the Bible or are they just part of some giant coincidence?
The skies above the globe seem to be swimming with objects these days and this video is very similar to many we have seen recently.
According to the videographer: "I filmed these 2 unusual objects above Christchurch City in New Zealand, they are very high and the digital zoom distorts them sometimes and shaky hand, but there are some very clear shots of the second object tumbling and eratic movements through clouds, sometimes it seems to dissapear and return in 1 video frame and change shape and white to black."
Interesting, the poster calls himself "signalfuture".
In our daily search for UFO videos, we stumbled upon the sightings of a man in New York City. What stood out to us was not so much the videos themselves but the reactions to them by the witnesses. We contacted the man who uses the moniker ProphetEzikel and here is his response verbatim:
"Peace in the name of the most high. Thank you for your interest , i am about 50 ufo's past the point of 'doubt' ..... what i and my family have been seeing are UFO's and i am a witness appointed to bring video testimony to the world. I am not a fake Prophet either , i am 32 and in my short time here I have done a few supernatrual miricales and i often get visions and dreams of many hidden secrets. I am chosen to be a raw source for ufo sightings to the world and in the next few months I will be relating messages from the beings sent from God. Now i have seen many diffrent kinds of ufo's and i still havent seen them all yet , i will be doing a special on rods too because they are in many of my videos. I usually catch rods on film and dont even realize them till days later so in a little while i will do a special focusing on rods. I need a better camcorder so that i can show more detail of the amazing ufo's that i have been summoning lately , so if you know anyone who can donate a good camcorder to help me film them please ask them for me. I can get them on film anytime and with a good camera i can show a stable clear image which i will upload everyday right here on Youtube for the world to witness.These are dark times for the inhabitants of the Earth and people are praying for many things , but God has sent his signs and I will make sure the people see them . PEACE TO YOU . "
Here are a couple of the videos, if you would like to see more visit his YouTube page to see them all.
As always, keep an open mind...but not TOO open. The Apocalypse Times
Perhaps the Marian apparitions at Medjugorje are simmering to a boiling point as the latest revelation we received via e-mail contained an odd disclaimer:
"I have never [emphasis added]seen Our Lady address us in this manner. She extended her hands towards us and with her hands extended in this way, she said."
The decades long saga of Medjugorje is complicated involving no less than six visionaries who are receiving messages from the Holy Mother at various intervals and have been doing so since the phenomenon started in back in 1981 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The messages themselves are straightforward, simple and, for the most part, positive. One can sign up to receive e-mail alerts containing the revelations at the official Medjugorje site. All has not been revealed to the public, however, as each of the six visionaries have been given a series of ten secrets, some are still receiving their allotment of ten secrets and only one of what will be a total sixty secrets has been revealed to the public. This secret warns:
"Our Lady has promised to leave a supernatural, indestructable [sic], and visible sign on the mountain where she first appeared. Our Lady said: 'This sign will be given for the atheists. You faithful already have signs and you have become the sign for the atheists. You faithful must not wait for the sign before you convert; convert soon. This time is a time of grace for you. You can never thank God enough for His grace. The time is for deepening your faith and for your conversion. When the sign comes, it will be too late for many.'"
The secrets have nearly all been revealed to each of the six visionaries; only three of them await their respective tenth secrets. According to the Medjugorje site:
"The ninth and tenth secrets are grave matters. They are a chastisement for the sins of the world. The punishment is inevitable because we can not expect the conversion of the entire world. The chastisement can be lessened by prayers and penance, but it can not be suppressed entirely."
The revealed messages often speak of the necessity of prayer, conversion and fasting which are universal, religious concepts. Occasionally, however, specific mentions are made of rituals unique to the Catholic Church, i.e. the Rosary, penance and confession. These mentions, in our opinion, put a tinge on the credibility of the entire revelation as it is our opinion that such divine proclamations would never be denomination specific. The 89 pages of messages from God (through Mary) are so contrary to the modern concepts of "thou shalt not" do this and "thou shalt not" do that that we are looking at them as quite possibly an attempt at correction of, or at counterbalance to the tenets of the modern church. According to the Holy Mother, prayer and fasting are vastly powerful tools and can redirect worldly events in a a tangible way, enough to ward off wars and "suspend natural laws". It is even stated that one of the evils of the already given secrets was averted through the use of these simple tools.
Normally the monthly messages from Medjugorje come on their own, without editorial comment from the visionaries. Then, days later, follows an official interpretation filtered through the mind of a priest. Apparently this latest vision, which lasted seven minutes, is part of what once was a daily apparition but is now an annual event occurring on the 18th of March. The unusual fact about this event is the stance that Mary took in her delivery. She had never reached out her hands before. Is this a sign that we are nearing the end of the revelation of secrets and are quickly approaching chastisement of some sort? When you approach your mother she might well reach her hands out to you.
Here is the text of the latest message from Medjugorje:
"Dear children, today I extend my hands towards you. Do not be afraid to accept them. They desire to give you love and peace and to help you in salvation. Therefore, my children, receive them. Fill my heart with joy and I will lead you towards holiness. The way on which I lead you is difficult and full of temptations and falls. I will be with you and my hands will hold you. Be persevering so that, at the end of the way, we can all together, in joy and love, hold the hands of my Son. Come with me; fear not. Thank you."
When young people commit suicide there is something wrong. There is despair. What we aspire to is set by consumerist motives by the profit machine. For most humans on the planet survival is the only hope; but, that's not enough in their minds. Always, there is something more they need for which they must struggle, often in vain, to attain whether it be the second new car, the dream home of television makeover fame or the health insurance with the best perks. When some see that their dreams are unattainable, impossible they lash out at a system which sets most up to fail. The recent spate of suicide massacres in the US isn't over. We will see more of it. The despair is laced with anger and those who might well have snuffed out their own lives are taking others with them in a death-rage. "If I can't have mine, you're not gonna' get yours either!"
The 20 year old man in India who killed himself in front of his girlfriend on a live webcam chat tells us that the sickness is spreading. India is rapidly moving into the same type of modern society we have been growing here in the United States. This is just one of several suicides of young people there in recent months.
Suicide Wave Continues Amongst Young in India 3-10-8 "An 18-year-old Class 11 student allegedly hanged herself in her north Delhi home Monday, the police said. This is the fourth case of a student committing suicide, reportedly due to examination stress, in the capital in the past five days."
Is human civilization on the decline?
Sociologist Melvin H. Tumin and anthropologist John W. Bennett have highlighted "prerequisites for survival," needs that must be met in order for a society to continue:
Every society must be able to answer the basic biological needs of its members: food, drink, shelter, and medical care.
Every society must provide for the production and distribution of goods and services (perhaps through a division of labor, rules concerning property and trade, or ideas about the role of work).
Every society must provide for the reproduction of new members and consider laws and issues related to reproduction (regulation, marriageable age, number of children, and so on).
Every society must provide for the training (education, apprenticeship, passing on of values) of an individual so that he or she can become a functioning adult in the society.
Every society must provide for the maintenance of internal and external order (laws, courts, police, wars, diplomacy).
Every society must provide meaning and motivation to its members.
This last prerequisite is more important than it may seem. No societal activity is possible unless people are motivated to participate. Why do we get up in the morning? How do we see ourselves in relation to other members of society? Why do we follow a society's rules? Without a sense of meaning and motivation, people will become apathetic. If this happens, a society may be threatened with decline.
Someone has posted this re-creation of the famous Stephenville lights video on YouTube. Apparently, by using a digital video setting called "Night Alive", which slows the shutter speed, one can create the same phenomenon as what was "seen" in Stephenville by filming a stationary object, in this case the star Sirius. Sorry folks, contact is not the story here it seems; at least with this particular facet of the whole Stephenville UFO story.?????
In an interview with 19 year resident David Caron of Stephenville, who shot the video, he said: "I didn’t know what to think. You could see it much better through the camera than just with the naked eye. I’m 52 and I’ve been all over the place and I’ve never seen anything that comes even close to what this looked like." Source: StevenvilleLights.com It appears that one may have not been able to see the phenomenon with the naked eye at all!
David Caron may have fooled himself by pushing a button on his camera by mistake, then filming the entire event in amazement and excitement feeling he was a part of a story that was becoming global in scope. Perhaps this was a deliberate attempt to throw a wrench into the whole story, creating a sideshow in order to discredit everyone and everything involved.
There is much more to the Stephenville lights story than just these particular lights and this particular video. Much of the story, which includes daylight sightings, is fully detailed at EarthFiles.com and StephenvilleLights.com.
We suppose the biggest story here was the attempt to keep the video secret in the first place. After it was released, it was watched and scrutinized by the public. It took thousands, maybe millions, of people seeing the film in order for one person to discover that the Stephenville Lights phenomenon may simply be an effect particular to the camera itself and not an attempt to communicate with symbols. Releasing information to the public has often been a good way to get at the truth.
We hope you readers will remain skeptical about anything you see regarding the modern UFO phenomenon; unless, of course, you see it with your own eyes. Deception is inherent in The Apocalypse Times
We contacted the creator of the above video:
How did you get the idea to try to replicate this video in this manner?
"I have participated in an ongoing debate on Open Minds Forum, topic: Texas UFO Sightings 2008, subject: Deconstructing the Projected Symbols. "
"It had been suggested that the so-called 'symbols' in the Caron video might have been the result of misapplied camera low-light features rather than skyward projections or maneuvers of alien or covert military instruments or craft. The progression of experiments can be viewed at the web site. "
"Basically though, the symbol segments of the Caron video appeared to be light trails resulting from the relative motion of a single illuminated object (or the camera) during a long exposure or slow electronic "shutter" speed. The color banding appeared to be similar to the color shifts or atmospheric prism effect of a twinkling star such as is frequently seen when Canis Major (Sirius) is close to the horizon. "
"Clipping frames from the video and layering them atop one another as transparencies indicated that the luminous trails were contiguous (or connected) end-to-end, symbol to symbol, and also suggested a common point of origin. The real puzzle was trying to rationalize why the symbols in the video seemed to pulse or to have the pronounced stroboscopic, stop-motion effect as if they were being projected in different segments of the sky."
"So, using a similar camera as Caron's, a JVC with the Night-Alive feature activated, it was aimed at Sirius in evening hours. This produced the strikingly similar results which only seem to confirm that the symbols themselves, at least, might have a more prosaic explanation. "
"We still have great confidence in Mr. Caron's credibility and admit that what he recorded may not have been a twinkling star at all, and so the illuminated source remains unidentified. Supporting witness testimony is limited and inconclusive."
"It should be noted that there are many facets of the Stephenville Lights phenomena apart from this that haven't been as closely examined, and remain unexplained. In fact there are reports that sightings of UFO's are continuing in the area. We remain frustrated that much evidence exists which has not been made public."
"Thank you for your interest in our efforts in seeking the truth."

To add even more credence to the above video re-creation we have discovered that indeed Sirius was in the SE sky on the night of Jan. 19th over Stephenville, TX. Note that Caron was looking in the SE that night:
"It wasn’t until the next night, Saturday, Jan. 19 that Caron realized exactly why his grandson made the comment and what he meant when he said, 'Papa come look. There’s funny lightening in the sky.'"
"Shortly before 9 p.m., Caron said he saw something that caught his eye when looking in the direction of Selden or towards the southeast horizon."
That object may well have been the very bright, twinkling and color-changing light of the Dog Star Sirius which was smack dab in the middle of the southeastern sky, about nine pm on January 19th.
