Citizen Hearing on Disclosureby Nick Pope. By the time this article is published I will be in Washington DC, where I am one of the participants in the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure. This ambitious event is being organized by lobbyist/activist Steve Bassett, under the slogan If the Congress wont do its job, the people will. There have not been formal Congressional hearings on the UFO phenomenon since 1968 and in the absence of any apparent willingness to hold any new such event, Steve Bassett has decided to do what he regards as the next best thing.

The Phenomenon of UFO Channelers - From Ancient Astronauts to Ashtarby Sean Casteel . The notion of receiving channeled messages from friendly extraterrestrials may be said to have begun in the mid-20th century, but the New Age-y phenomenon is really nothing new. The story of benevolent voices from beyond the vastness of time and space goes back well into ancient times, perhaps even as far back as the Bible itself. More...
Are UFO Occupants Part of the Mass Alien Mind?by Diane Tessman. Is there evidence that at least some UFO occupants are components of a larger mass mind which composes a highly intelligent, single, alien entity? A mass mind is invisible whereas individual minds sit in individual heads. Might this be one of the reasons it is so difficult to pin down UFO occupants? More...
Mayday and the unsurpassable human spiritby Pat Regan. This Mayday summer is clearly behind schedule. Lovely yellow daffodils are late along with other flowers of springtime. By Mayday in the north of Britain we usually have by this time seen attractive cherry tree blossom, hanging in beautiful pink clusters. However, the damp and chilly spring weather appears to be hanging on tightly at all costs. Mother Nature The Greatest Artist of All

Political Priorities and UFOsby Dennis G. Balthaser. I really do not enjoy writing or talking about political concerns I have, but am becoming more concerned that the only objective our leaders in Washington have are interests that benefit themselves.

The Cloverdale, Alabama Spooklight Phenomenonby Wyatt Cox. A Spooklight is a type of rare luminous phenomena frequently reported as a brilliant yellowish-orange ball of pulsating or flickering light about 1-3 feet in diameter and floating across open fields or above the forests in sparsely populated areas. The distance from the observer varies greatly. While some are seen at close proximity, others may be as far as a mile away. Some move about at a slow and steady pace and others jump and dart about very quickly. A few will stop and hover for several minutes. More...

1978 Is A Good Year For A UFO in Düsseldorf, Germany (VIDEO)by Alexandra Holzer. Spring of 1978, Mr. Akiba writes to Professor Dr. Hans Holzer of his unusual sighting experience. I was only seven years old. English was not a language Mr. Akiba was familiar with but he didn't have to speak it to comprehend what he captured on film. An intelligent man who was a manager for Ohji Kakosho Company, a company that was in the printing business located in Tokyo. Living in the Northern parts with his family was a regular 'Joe' so-to-speak playing music and Mahjongg, and never smoking or drinking. His story traveled all the way around the globe from Tokyo to New York to find Dr. Holzer. More...
New Mexico and its place n UFO history Part IIby Doc Vega. The state of New Mexico has obviously played a prominent role in the long and mysterious history of UFOs. In Part II we will explore further the developments that made this Land of Enchantment such an intriguing place. Remember one important factor in all this. Illusion and rumor are only based upon unverified information, but military eye witness accounts and documentation that has been extracted either by FOIA requests or by true intelligence investigation by such people as the late Leonard Stringfield, are an example of truth that has been liberated from archives, testimony, and technical data that simply demonstrates concrete evidence and not the wild assertions of pro-UFO aficionados and the clueless quest for another religion to worship.

EU bans pesticides for two years to save Bee from Extinctionby Carolyn Shield. It is a great concern in the EU and so a vote of 15 countries out of 27 has banned neonicotinoids pesticides which studies have found harm honeybees. Britain was one of the countries which voted against the ban and their own panels had suggested a need to ban the pesticide. Nearly three million signatures were given to the EU supporting the ban on the pesticides and public protest at Westminister took place. The honeybee is an important player as a pollinator for crops and flowers which are food sources for many animals as well as mankind. More...

Negative Thought Formsby Louis Hart . The mind can be a very powerful thing. Especially an out-of-control or twisted mind that is mired in negativity.

To me, it was the urge to see it up close before it got away, Travis Walton said about why he ran toward the light.
Walton now attends and speaks at UFO conferences like one in the Phoenix area this spring.
Hollywood told the UFO abduction story in the 1993 sci-fi flick Fire in the Sky.
Walton wrote a book describing and analyzing the encounter.
PrevNext
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - It's one of the most famous and well-documented UFO stories ever. It thrust a small Arizona town into the international spotlight. Hollywood made a movie about it. Decades later, people are still talking about it, and the man in the middle of it all has a message for you.
For some, what happened in the White Mountains on November 5, 1975 is a matter of belief. For others, its fact.
Twenty-two-year-old Travis Walton was with a logging crew in a national forest outside Snowflake, Ariz. In the darkness, the crew said they saw a glow.
To me, it was the urge to see it up close before it got away, Walton told KGUN9 recently.
The 90s sci-fi flick Fire the Sky shows what Travis said "it" was: some kind of spaceship.
After Walton ran toward the glow, he later described, I was hit by a blast of energy from this craft.
His buddies all said they saw it, too. They drove off without him and later told deputies about Waltons disappearance. A massive search followed.
Days later, Walton finally turned up on a street, half-conscious, and soon describing the inside of a UFO.
Now, nearly four decades later, Walton -- and every single man there that night -- are all still sticking to that story.
It's an ongoing battle, he said, explaining hes spent years fighting what he calls "misinformation."
That I had been hallucinating on drugs, that the hypnotist had planted these memories in my mind, he said, giving examples.
Walton wrote a tell-all book, pointing out, for example, every crew member passed a lie detector test.
Walton said it's only a matter of time till everyone's a believer.
The skeptics are a bit like Flat Earthers, he said.
Chris Impey is a distinguished professor at the University of Arizona's astronomy department. He said personal stories and fuzzy photos don't cut it -- that scientists need hard evidence as proof in cases like Walton's.
Some artifact, some physical object that we can look at -- that anyone can look at -- and say, 'No, this isn't terrestrial,' Impey said.
No such object has ever been delivered into a scientist's hands so they remain skeptics, he added.
Firm belief in what happened near Snowflake forced Steve Pierce to break his silence. He was there that night.
It just scared me so bad that I didn't talk about, Pierce told KGUN9 over the phone.
He didnt talk about it until recently. Pierce said he's speaking up to get the "truth" out there, at the request of his daughter.
My family still doesnt believe us, he said. I've got two brothers that still don't believe it.
Walton also has people close to him that dont believe, he said. Thats one reason he regretted running toward the light that night.
I wished I'd stayed in the truck, he said.
It derailed my life and I wish I could have it back, he also said, adding hes since accepted what happened as fate.
Still, he has never changed his story and neither have any of the witnesses. Nearly 40 years later, the mystery of Snowflake lives on.
The Testimony of Gary Heseltine (UK) For The Citizens Hearings Washington DC
Good morning,
My name is Gary Heseltine and I am a recently retired police detective in England having served almost 24 years with the British Transport Police.
I am here on behalf of police officers worldwide who have witnessed UFOs.
In January 2002 I created the POLICE REPORTING UFO SIGHTINGS website otherwise known as the PRUFOS Database, (www.prufospolicedatabase.co.uk) a facility for recording and collating on and off duty British police officer UFO reports.
When I began my research I did so with a handful of cases involving a dozen officers, 11 years later I can reveal that I now have over 425 cases taking place between 1901-2012 that involve in excess of 940 British police officers.
These sightings have taken place the length and breadth of Britain and have been reported at all times of the day.
Analysis of the cases on the database reveals that over 70% are multiple officer reports thus offering significant corroboration to a sighting event.
Many cases involve corroboration by 6 officers or more with events being witnessed by officers from multiple geographical locations.
In one particular case in excess of 24 police officers were involved in tracking at least one object over six counties of Britain on the night of March 30-31st 1993. This case is referred to as the Cosford Incident.
Many officers have observed structured craft of huge size and proportions in close proximity to their ground position. These craft range in shape and dimensions from tens of feet to many hundreds of feet in size.
Many of the police witness cases on the database are truly extraordinary and I will highlight three of these.
For example in October 1984 near RAF NORTHHOLT in Middlesex, a silent black triangular craft was seen at low altitude by two uniformed police officers on mobile patrol which they described as the being the size of three football fields. When I sought to clarify the estimate of the size the officer told me that the size was accurate because when it was observed it was seen directly over three football fields.
The source of this report is Police Constable ROBIN PERRY (Metropolitan Police).
On another occasion in October 1978 three uniformed police officers in a rural area of Buckinghamshire observed a huge object (described as the size of a football field) which suddenly and silently materialised in front of them in the blink of an eye and at relative close proximity to their position. A number of smaller objects were seen flying around the larger main craft. The larger object then projected a wide beam of light down to the ground as it slowly traversed the landscape for several minutes before suddenly disappearing in the blink of an eye. The manner of its appearance and disappearance was described as like switching a light bulb on and off.
The source of this report is Police Constable (ret) ERIC RAYMENT (Thames Valley Police).
Many officers have seen objects that appear to move in ways that seem to defy the known laws of physics and aerodynamics.
For example in May of 1981 or 82 two firearms officers were involved in the close protection of a then prominent Conservative Minister at a secret location in North Yorkshire. At approximately 0530 hours in the morning as they were walking in the grounds of the residence they suddenly became aware that the early morning sunshine had darkened. When they looked up to establish the cause they saw a huge dark purple cylindrical object, which had a pronounced undercarriage underneath it, that was described as being the length of a football field and hovering silently above the house at an altitude of 200/300 feet. The object remained motionless above the house for 5-10 minutes before it suddenly and silently accelerated toward the horizon at a tremendous speed. There it remained stationary for a short time before quickly accelerating out of sight.
The source of this report is Police Sergeant (ret) John Pawson (North Yorkshire Police).
In my introduction I mentioned that I would refer to police officer sightings worldwide and in the time permitted I would like to draw your attention to two particular countries where numerous police officer UFO sightings have taken place.
Namely I refer to the United States and Belgium.
Many of the US cases are outstanding and I will highlight two of them.
Just after midnight on 14th December 1994, 15 police officers of Trumball County, Ohio, observed multiple circular UFOs from different geographical positions. In one particular sighting the engine of police vehicle driven by Sergeant Toby Meloro suddenly cut out. When he got out of the vehicle he observed a UFO hovering directly above him and the vehicle. As soon as the object moved silently away from the vehicle engine restarted and for a short time tried to pursue it.
On 5th January 2000 in Illinois multiple police officers observed a large triangular craft that was witnessed from many different geographical locations and was sometimes seen at close proximity to their ground positions.
Broadly speaking all the officers involved in both of these incidents describe craft that moved in silence and which were able to make incredible high speed manoeuvres unlike that of any known aircraft.
Finally in the skies above Belgium between 1989-1991 hundreds of police officers observed large triangular objects all over the country. Many of these sightings involved multiple police officer witnesses and were frequently seen at relative close proximity to their ground locations. In addition many of these sightings were confirmed on multiple civilian and multiple military radar facilities.
In the allotted 10 minutes given to brief you I want to say on behalf of all police officers worldwide that what many of them have observed have been actual craft, physical in nature and which moved in ways that the officers involved have never witnessed before or since their encounters.
*At the end of my testimony I shall be submitting summary reports of all the cases I have highlighted here today for your perusal.
In closing I urge this panel to accept their collective testimonies as genuine and that they offer compelling circumstantial evidence that many of these sightings represent extraordinary unknown structured craft flying in the Earths airspace.
In closing and on a personal note I believe the time is now to lift the veil of secrecy that has shrouded this subject for over 60 years and that the subject of UFOs should now be openly accepted in the mainstream media as being real in nature which in turn would allow people from around the world to come forward without fear of ridicule and a risk to their careers.
As a police detective of many years service I believe the collective testimonial, documentary and physical evidence obtained in over sixty years of UFO research overwhelmingly confirms that some UFO sightings do represent an ongoing extraterrestrial engagement with planet Earth.
I am deeply honoured to have given testimony before this panel and I submit it to your on behalf of police officers worldwide.
Thank you.

PUBLISHED: 14:19 GMT, 30 April 2013 | UPDATED: 15:15 GMT, 30 April 2013
A passenger plane came within 300 feet of crashing into a 'UFO' flying over Glasgow, an official investigation has found.
The plane was less than 10 seconds away from hitting the object as it flew over Baillieston on the outskirts of Glasgow at 3,500ft and prepared to land.
Despite an extensive investigation, the UK Airprox Board - which investigates reports of near misses - was unable to identify the 'blue and yellow' object which passed below the Airbus 320.
Near miss: The Airbus A320 was under 10 seconds away from hitting the unidentified flying object as it approached GlasgowAirport = foto 1
The pilot was clearly shocked and reported that there had been a 'high' risk of collision following the incident on December 2 last year.
He told his control tower: 'We just had something pass underneath us quite close. Have you got anything on in our area.'
They replied: 'Negative. Weve got nothing on radar and were not talking to any traffic either'
The unidentified flying object passed directly beneath the plane before either of the crew had a chance to take action to avoid it.
Both pilots described the object as 'blue and yellow (or silver) in colour with a small frontal area but that it was "bigger than a balloon".'
The airline involved has not been identified by the report authors.
Several companies fly in Airbus 320 planes from the airport and they can seat up to 220 people - although the number of seats varies.
Approach: The plane was 13 miles away from GlasgowAirport (pictured) when it came within seconds of colliding with the unidentified object = foto2
The report authors said they had not been able to work out what the object was.
They wrote: 'The controller stated that he was not talking to anyone else in that area and that nothing was seen on radar. Search action was taken with no result and the A320 pilot stated his intention to file an Airprox.
'Additionally, a further detailed review of individual radar sources did not yield any conclusive radar data that matched the A320 pilot's description of the encounter.
Near miss: A diagram in the report which shows the pilot's direction of travel and the unidentified object which is marked as 'CPA 1246' = foto 3
PILOT REPORTS 'UFO' AS HE LANDS AT GLASGOWAIRPORT
This is a transcript of what the A320 pilot told the control tower.
A320: 'Glasgow Approach [A320 C/S]'
Air Traffic Control: '[A320 C/S] pass your message'
A320: 'Er yeah we just had something pass underneath us quite close and nothing on TCAS have you got anything on in our area'
Control: 'Er negative er weve got nothing on er radar and were n-not talking to any traffic either'
A320: 'Er not quite sure what it was but it definitely er quite large and its blue and yellow'
Control: 'OK thats understood er do you have a an estimate for the height'
A320: 'Maybe er yeah we were probably about erm four hundred to five hundred feet above it so its probably about three and a half thousand feet.
' we seemed to only miss it by a couple of hundred feet it went directly beneath us wherever we were when we called it in it was within about ten seconds
' couldnt tell what direction it was going but it went right underneath us'
Control: 'do you suspect it might have been a glider or something like that'
A320: 'well maybe a microlight it just looked too big for a balloon.
'The Air Traffic Control unit's own radar replay also showed no surveillance traces in the immediate vicinity of the A320 at the time.'
Once on the ground the A320 pilot gave a further description of the event to the Glasgow Aerodrome Controller.
The pilot said: 'We seemed to only miss it by a couple of hundred feet it went directly beneath us - wherever we were when we called it in it was within about ten seconds; couldn't tell what direction it was going but it went right underneath us.'
Asked if he thought it was a glider, the pilot replied: 'well maybe a microlight - it just looked too big for a balloon.'
But the board ruled out any such aircraft and were baffled.
'The board initially considered likely candidates for the untraced aircraft. The A320 crew had not been able to assimilate any information regarding the form of the untraced aircraft in the fleeting glimpse they had, reporting only a likely colour,' it said.
'Members were of the opinion that, in the absence of a primary radar return, it was unlikely that the untraced aircraft was a fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft or man-carrying balloon.
'It was considered that a meteorological balloon would be radar significant and unlikely to be released in the area of the Airprox.
'A glider could not be discounted but it was felt unlikely that one would be operating in that area, both due to the constrained airspace and the lack of thermal activity due to the low temperature.
'Similarly, The board considered that a hang-glider or para-motor would be radar significant and that conditions precluded them, as they did para-gliders or parascenders.
'Members were unable to reach a conclusion as to a likely candidate for the conflicting aircraft and it was therefore felt that the Board had insufficient information to determine a cause or risk.'
The mysteries behind many UFO sightings may never be explained, but what happened over Puget Sound on June 21, 1947 is a mystery that's getting new life in a film.
It's a complex story with many facets, but it that can be summarized like this: At 2 p.m., Harold Dahl was on a fishing boat salvaging logs with his young son when he said he saw six flying discs appear above him over the water.
One of the donut-shaped discs appeared to be in trouble and dropped what appeared to be tons of a hot molten substance in the water and the beach. As the story goes, the heat and debris killed his dog and burned his son.
Days later he was visited by a mysterious "man in black," who told him not to talk about what he saw. He was then visited by two Air Force investigators who were on a classified mission to see him and gather evidence. On the investigators' return to a California airbase, the B-25 they were piloting crashed, killing both of them and destroying whatever evidence they were carrying. The FBI closed the case without any resolution.
It's known as the Maury Island Incident.
"They are just many unanswered questions and that makes it an intriguing mystery and maybe a solvable mystery, we don't know," said Philip Lipson, Co-director of the Northwest Museum of Legends and Lore.
Lipson and the museum's other co-director, Charlette LaFevre have been investigating the incident for the last 10 years.
What makes the Maury Island Incident significant in UFO lore is its timing. It happened three days before pilot Ken Arnold's famous sighting of "flying saucers" over Mt. Rainier.
The media called Arnold's account of what appeared to be disc's skipping across sky as flying saucers and that's where the term first originated.
Two weeks after Dahl's sighting came Roswell, which is arguably the most famous claim of an alien crash landing on earth. After that, the floodgates of UFO sightings opened wide as it seem everyone had a story to tell. But to UFO buffs, the Maury Island Incident started it all.
"It's not promoted like Roswell but I always say it's the Roswell of the northwest," LeFevre said.
Seattle's Northwest Museum of Legend and Lore has a collection dedicated to the incident, including a piece said to be from the B-25 that crashed new Kelso Washington on August 1.
That date also has some significance as it was the first day the Air Force separated from the Army and became a branch of the armed services. The crash is considered the first Air Force Crash ever.

Dear colleagues.
After the release of Valentich documents last summer, I was working to compile a complete collection of Australian UFO documents that are so far available in digital form. My good colleague Isaac Koi was also working on the same project with different method, and he just finished the collection. His PDF's are searchable.
More information and how to download the collection you can find in those links below:
Description of the project by Isaac Koi and additional companion pieces:
A letter dated 1st April 1957 from the Director of Air Force Intelligence to the Director of the Joint Intelligence Bureau which states that many UFO reports cover such mundane things as meteorological and astronomical phenomena but went on to say others appear to be inexplicable.
(Gene and Chris present controversial UFO promoter Blake Cousins, who has posted hundreds of alleged UFO photos on a YouTube channel. This is an unforgettable episode where you may even wonder whether the guest will actually show up. We also feature active forum member Goggs Mackay as a guest panelist.)
Youtuber Sheilaaliens debunks UFO hoaxer Blake Cousins the owner of Thirdphaseofmoon Youtube Channel Blake Cousins tells everyone that he receives videos from all around the world... ok... so why those videos have the same sound fx ? This is laughable ! So, is Third Phase Of Moon user a faker and a lyer ? Yes. Do Third Phase Of Moon user make money from your credulity ? Yes So guys,don't subscribe to any of the following channels, which are all from Blake Cousins and thirdpharceofmoon. They get paid for every view and subscription on their channel. 1) Istareatthesun2012 2) thirdphaseofmoon 3) breakingnewsguy

The official UFO Hearing held at the United Nations Special Political Committee on November 28, 1978 was undoubtedly one of the great milestones in the history of ufology, particularly when it comes to its recognition by key international institutions. While photos of this event have been published many times, I am not aware of any footage ever been shown in a UFO documentary or news story. Last week I received a box of old videos that had somehow gotten separates from the rest of my UFO collection, and while looking at the videotapes, I rediscovered one that had been given to me many years ago by the late Colman von Keviczky, the director of ICUFON (Intercontinental UFO Network) and veteran New York ufologist. The tape included raw footage of the UN UFO Hearing and press conference shot by Colman himself, who was a professional cameraman.
The footage you are about to see lasts 1:15 min. and begins with a shot of the hall of the Special Political Committee where the UFO Hearing was held; it then shows Dr. J. Allen Hynek addressing the delegates and you can see Prime Minister Gairy sitting behind the astronomer; the camera then pans over the tables where the delegates sit, showing many empty seats; back to Hynek and the screen where a montage of UFO footage (both films and still photos) prepared by Lee Spiegel for Hynek's Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) was shownbecause the camera was far from the screen and you can barely see the footage, we have edited it out; next you'll see a second panelist addressing the committee, Lt. Col. Lawrence Coyne of the U.S. Army, who talked about his close encounter with a UFO on a Huey Army Reserve helicopter near Mansfield, Ohio, on October 18, 1973, during the peak of the 1973 American UFO wave. Gairy was careful to point out in his introduction that Coyne was speaking on his own behalf and not as a representative of the U.S. military.
Von Kevicky's camera then switches to the press conference, which happened right after the end of the morning session of the UFO Hearing and which, as opposed to the Special Political Committee, was packed. You see here the speakers' panel starting from the right with Grenada's Education Minister, Wellington Friday, who was the number two man for the Grenadian UFO initiative, Prime Minister Gairy, and Dr. Hynek smoking his pipethat itself shows how many decades have passed since the eventand then shows two of the other panelists, Dr. Jacques Vallee and Lt. Col. Coyne; the camera then pans quickly through the audience at the press conference, where I recognized my friend and long-time New York ufologist Mike Luckman wearing a yellow shirt; the film ends with close-up of Gairy and Wellington Friday.

In this next part of our Your Need to Know series, Antonio Huneeus examines RAND Corporations UFO document titled UFOs: What to do? The RAND Corp. was originally an outgrowth project of World War II called Project RAND. In May of 1948 it separated from the Douglas Aircraft Company and became its own independent, nonprofit organization.
George Kocher of the RAND Corporation published this document in November of 1968, a few months after the University of Colorado completed its Condon Report. The RAND Corp. document is broken into five different essays: Historical Aspects, Astronomical Aspects, The Character of Reports, Phenomenological Aspects, and How to Proceed and Why. These essays explore the types of reports and sightings, how they are categorized, and a list of hypotheses that exist surrounding the phenomenon. The document also provides an example of a detailed UFO report form developed by the University of Colorados study group.
Stanton Terry Friedman (born July 29, 1934) is a professional Ufologist who resides in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell incident. He studied physics at the University of Chicago and worked as a nuclear physicist on research and development projects for several large companies. He is a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S. Biography edit Ca... Stanton T. Friedman - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanton_T._Friedman
"Il faut agir rapidement pour réduire le nombre des débris spatiaux tournant autour de la Terre, qui risquent de polluer certaines orbites dans quelques décennies, ont estimé jeudi des experts internationaux à l'issue d'une réunion en Allemagne.
Morceaux de fusées, satellites en fin de vie, outils perdus par des astronautes... Ces objets sont les résidus des quelque 4.900 lancements effectués depuis le début de l'ère spatiale qui, sous l'effet de dislocations et collisions en chaîne, "le syndrome de Kessler", n'ont cessé de se multiplier.
Depuis 1978, "leur nombre a triplé" avec "un risque de collision démultiplié", avertit Heiner Klinkrad, directeur du département des débris spatiaux à l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA), lors d'une retransmission par internet.
"Il suffirait de quelques décennies pour qu'un tel environnement devienne instable", a-t-il souligné durant la 6e Conférence européenne sur les débris spatiaux, qui s'est tenue durant quatre jours à Darmstadt (Allemagne).
Plus de 23.000 débris de plus de 10 cm sont actuellement recensés par la Nasa ou l'ESA, dont la majorité sur les orbites basses (en dessous de 2.000 km) utilisées par les satellites d'observation de la Terre ou la Station spatiale internationale (ISS).
Quant aux objets compris entre 1cm et 10 cm, ils se comptent par centaines de milliers. Des fragments de taille apparemment inoffensive mais qui, lancés à une vitesse moyenne de 25.000 km/h, peuvent sérieusement endommager un satellite, soulignent les spécialistes.
Chaque année en moyenne, l'ISS est contrainte de réaliser une "manoeuvre d'évitement" pour échapper à une collision potentielle. Et selon l'ESA, une dizaine d'objets s'approchent à moins de 2 km d'un satellite toutes les semaines.
Zone la plus touchée: les orbites polaires situées entre 800 km et 1.200 km d'altitude, véritables autoroutes pour de nombreux satellites d'observation.
Pince, harpon, filet ou voile?
Or, si les lancements se poursuivent au rythme actuel et que rien n'est fait pour limiter le nombre de débris, le risque de collision pourrait à terme être multiplié par 25, selon les projections des agences spatiales.
Pire, même si on arrêtait net les lancements aujourd'hui, le nombre de débris continuerait à augmenter par le seul jeu de "l'effet Kessler".
Pour traiter le problème, il est nécessaire d'une part de placer systématiquement les satellites désactivés sur des voies de garage, où ils ne gêneront pas et finiront par se désintégrer dans la haute atmosphère terrestre.
Mais il faut aussi débarrasser l'espace des plus gros débris, au rythme de 5 à 10 objets chaque année si on veut stabiliser la situation.
"Il y a un consensus fort sur la nécessité urgente d'agir dès à présent pour commencer à enlever ces débris", a assuré M. Klinkrad à l'issue de la conférence de Darmstadt, qui a rassemblé quelque 350 acteurs de l'industrie spatiale.
Pour ce faire, l'ESA et d'autres agences spatiales étudient déjà diverses solutions pour dévier la trajectoire des débris vers l'atmosphère: bras robot, pince géante, moteur fixé sur le débris, harpon ou filet de remorquage, voire un canon à ions bombardant l'objet pour infléchir sa course.
Certains envisagent même de doter le débris d'une voile solaire qui ferait office de parachute pour le freiner et le contraindre à perdre de l'altitude.
Mais dans le meilleur des cas, ces "missions de nettoyage" ne rentreront pas en service avant une dizaine d'années.
Tout ceci aura bien sûr un coût, mais un coût bien inférieur à celui des satellites potentiellement détruits par des débris (100 milliards de dollars environ), dont nos sociétés modernes sont extrêmement dépendantes (télévision, télécommunications, etc.).
Les débris spatiaux présentent de nombreuses similitudes avec les déchets à la surface de la Terre ou dans les océans. Les prévisions sont entachées de nombreuses incertitudes, ce qui sert souvent d'excuse à une réaction tardive", relève Heiner Klinkrad.
Mais si nous attendons trop longtemps, les coûts et les risques vont considérablement augmenter", insiste le responsable de l'ESA."
