"The UFOlogy Research Institute, which compiles data from sources including Transport Canada and the Department of National Defence, said researchers examined 836 alleged UFO sightings in 2007, an increase of almost 12 per cent over 2006."
Why now, why so many, and what are these objects - real or mass deception?
Let list all the options. It doesn't mean we support all of them.
Options:
I. UFO's are "real objects" - what kind of?
- satanic transports?
- aliens?
- secret experiments by US or other labs?
II. UFO's are a "brainwashing campaign". Why so many
NOW?
- Preparation of public opinion for a real UFO's coming that is secretly detected
- Preparation of public opinion for an event that will be explained with UFOs
III. other phenomena, beyond the explanation of today's science
Whatever the truth, these 800+ UFOs exist at least in somebody's mind. They increase in number and frequency. If we compare them to the number of... apparitions, they also increase in number and frequency...And why not to compare the number of people who believe UFOs to those who still believe apparitions and act upon the messages received? The first increase, while, sadly, the second seems to decrease...

From Wikipedia:
Faster-than-light communication is, by Einstein's theory of relativity, equivalent to time travel. According to Einstein's theory of special relativity, what we measure as the speed of light in a vacuum is actually the fundamental physical constant c. This means that all observers, regardless of their relative velocity, will always measure zero-mass particles such as photons traveling at c in a vacuum. This result means that measurements of time and velocity in different frames are no longer related simply by constant shifts, but are instead related by Poincaré transformations.
Justifications for FTL travel
I. Ways of Distort the space-time fabric
Although the theory of special relativity forbids objects to have a relative velocity greater than light speed, and general relativity reduces to special relativity in a local sense (in small regions of spacetime where curvature is negligible), general relativity does allow the space between distant objects to expand in such a way that they have a "recession velocity" which exceeds the speed of light, and it is thought that galaxies which are at a distance of more than about 14 billion light years from us today have a recession velocity which is faster than light.[13] Prof. Miguel Alcubierre theorized that it would be possible to create what is called an Alcubierre drive, in which a ship would be enclosed in a "warp bubble" where the space at the front of the bubble is rapidly contracting and the space at the back is rapidly expanding, with the result that the bubble can reach a distant destination much faster than a light beam moving outside the bubble, but without objects inside the bubble locally travelling faster than light. However, several objections raised against the Alcubierre drive appear to rule out the possibility of actually using it in any practical fashion.
2. Traversable wormhole
Another possibility predicted by general relativity is the traversable wormhole, which could create a shortcut between arbitrarily distant points in space. As with the Alcubierre drive, travelers moving through the wormhole would not locally move faster than light which travels through the wormhole alongside them, but they would be able to reach their destination (and return to their starting location) faster than light traveling outside the wormhole.
(Prof. Kip Thorne was a long-time advocate of that theory, developing it in many publications, with the most popular one " Black Holes and Time Warps")
3. Make use of the fact that space and time are quantized
As given by the planck length, there is a minimum amount of 'space' that can exist in this universe (1.616x10-35 meters). This limit can be used to determine a minimum time quantisation of 1.078x10-43 seconds, which corresponds to a beam of light with a wavelength approaching the planck length. According to general relativity there is no limit to this shift, and an infinitesimally small space can exist, but according to well accepted quantum theory these limits do exist.
This is precisely what happens towards the center of a black hole; The argument is: if a black hole with finite mass can create such a discontinuity in the fabric of space and time, why would people be unable to do the same thing using a finite amount of energy and acceleration? (According to general relativity, the space-time distortions caused by gravity are fundamentally identical to space-time distortions caused simply by accelerating your reference frame).
=> that is what could be done theoretically in LHC and other accelerators. Mini black holes that will be definitely created, are connected with all of the above. And we actually do not know whether there will be created wormholes, or even "creatures" called "Black Saturns" (central black hole surrounded by a black ring) Atom smasher may give birth to 'Black Saturns'... (other purely scientific publications say wormholes and black holes have already been created in Brookhaven and Fermilab...)
II. The next several effects are more about faster-than-light transmission of signals and not objects.
4.Quantum mechanics phenomena
Certain phenomena in quantum mechanics, such as quantum entanglement, appear to transmit information faster than light. According to the No-communication theorem these phenomena do not allow true communication; they only let two observers in different locations see the same event simultaneously, without any way of controlling what either sees. Wavefunction collapse can be viewed as an epiphenomenon of quantum decoherence, which in turn is nothing more than an effect of the underlying local time evolution of the wavefunction of a system and all of its environment. Since the underlying behaviour doesn't violate local causality or allow FTL it follows that neither does the additional effect of wavefunction collapse, whether real or apparent.
The uncertainty principle implies that individual photons may travel for short distances at speeds somewhat faster (or slower) than c, even in a vacuum;
5. Casimir effect
In physics, the Casimir effect or Casimir-Polder force is a physical force exerted between separate objects due to resonance of vacuum energy in the intervening space between the objects. This is sometimes described in terms of virtual particles interacting with the objects, due to the mathematical form of one possible way of calculating the strength of the effect. Because the strength of the force falls off rapidly with distance, it is only measurable when the distance between the objects is extremely small. Energy appears suddenly as if it came from the vacuum. See Option B above for a discussion of whether or not this effect could actually be used to send signals faster than c or violate causality.
6. EPR Paradox
We can also quote the spectacular case of the thought experiment of Einstein, Podolski and Rosen (EPR paradox) which could be realized in experiments for the first time by Alain Aspect in 1981 and 1982. In this case, the measurement of the state on one of the quantum systems of an entangled pair forces the other system to be measured in the complementary state. Thus functions quantum teleportation.
An experiment performed in 1997 by Nicolas Gisin at the University of Geneva has demonstrated nonlocal quantum correlations between particles separated by over 10 kilometers.[28] But as noted earlier, the nonlocal correlations seen in entanglement cannot actually be used to transmit classical information faster than light, so that relativistic causality is preserved; see no-communication theorem for further information.

Other unknown effects might be the actual ones in use - either by so called UFOs, or by the secret labs...
And...if we, poor human beings, could have a glimpse of God's laws and even could use them at a certain extent, why couldn't we imagine in our human pride that God also could use the laws created by Him, and could command His other creatures (the angels) to use them in our favor? Are we so blind in our human arrogance to deny the angels the right to use much more perfect devices than LHC, or even the fictional Star Treck? Or we are at the same level of thinking as those people who created Titanic?
If the genius of Einstein could determine the space-time construction based ONLY on 4 dimensions, and thus leaded to discovery of Black Holes, Wormholes and all of the above; if today's scientists say there might be as many dimensions as 11 or 12 (according to different theories that could be checked in CERN)...then why should we "reject" to the superior powers from Heaven "the right to use" THESE AND MORE principles beyond our understanding, in order to intervene in Human History?
It has been promised. It will unfold soon. It has too many precedents in the Old Testament. Consider that event recorded in two different books - the shadow of the Sun goes back...the Sun goes back, the Time goes back, or the Earth goes back? Could we just imagine the importance of these simple words, recorded thousands of years ago, describing in humility and simplicity God's marvelous action?
8 Behold, I will bring the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down with the sun on the sundial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.”
So the sun returned ten degrees on the dial by which it had gone down.
9 Isaiah answered, "This is the LORD's sign to you that the LORD will do what he has promised: Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or shall it go back ten steps?"
10 "It is a simple matter for the shadow to go forward ten steps," said Hezekiah. "Rather, have it go back ten steps."
11 Then the prophet Isaiah called upon the LORD, and the LORD made the shadow go back the ten steps it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.
