READ OFFICIAL STATEMENT BY LAURA MAGDALENE EISENHOWER ON ET INVASION
VANCOUVER, BC – In an ExopoliticsTV interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre, cosmologist Laura Magdalene Eisenhower, affirmed that an Extraterrestrial invasion has already occurred and governments do not want us to know. Reiterating her statement before the World Symposium in San Marino, Ms. Eisenhower stated, “There has been a massive cover up in regards to ET contact with our governments and there has been much secrecy in regards to those who have been either abducted or contacted – this is because an invasion has already taken place and they don’t want us to know this. This invasion has infiltrated every sector of our society, in disguise to most, but blatantly obvious to many. When we look at Whistleblower testimony – it is clear that some sort of deal was made with a group of ET’s and from what I have discovered, this began long before Ike [former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ms. Eisenhower's great-grandfather] ever stepped into office.”

Buitenaardse hypothese is verreweg de meest waarschijnlijke
“Buitenaardse hypothese is verreweg de meest waarschijnlijke”
In het KRO-programma Brandpunt was afgelopen zondag aandacht voor de mogelijkheid van buitenaards bezoek. De regering van Frankrijk liet een speciale commissie onderzoek doen naar honderden meldingen van vliegende schotels. De commissie concludeerde dat de buitenaardse hypothese de meest waarschijnlijke is, zegt dr.ir. Coen Vermeeren van de TU Delft.
De afgelopen jaren zijn er alleen al in Nederland zes officiële meldingen geweest van de luchtverkeersleiding of piloten van een object waarvan men niet weet wat het is geweest.
“De openlijke stellingname van autoriteiten is vaak dat het een weerfenomeen of een luchtballon is en dat we ons verder geen zorgen hoeven te maken,” zegt Vermeeren, auteur van het boek UFO’s bestaan gewoon. Hij zegt dat je er niet in hoeft te geloven, omdat ze gewoon bestaan.
Het UFO-fenomeen serieus onderzoeken is een taboe, het wordt belachelijk gemaakt. Het zit in de volksaard. Al jaren wordt het geassocieerd met gekke ruimtewezens en vliegende schotels. “Het is allemaal fantasie, want het komt allemaal uit Hollywood en er wordt alleen in sciencefiction over geschreven. Als je het dus serieus neemt, neem je iets serieus wat niet serieus is,” legt Vermeeren uit.
Tussen 1989 en 1991 zagen duizenden Belgen driehoekige UFO’s. Onbekende voorwerpen werden gevolgd op de radar, gefotografeerd en waargenomen. Na het incident bracht de Belgische luchtmacht een rapport uit over de gebeurtenissen.
“Het mysterie blijft onopgelost,” schreef generaal Wilfried de Brouwer, hoofd operaties van de luchtmacht, in het verslag over het onderzoek naar de UFO-meldingen. Daarin bevestigde hij dat de piloten ‘iets’ op hun radarscherm zagen, maar niet in staat waren het fenomeen te verklaren.
“Deze objecten waren in staat om stil te hangen en grote afstanden geluidloos af te leggen,” zegt Vermeeren. “De consequenties zijn gigantisch op het moment dat we accepteren dat de wetenschap geen antwoord heeft op dit soort objecten.”
Waarnemingen van onbekende objecten waren voor de Franse overheid reden om het UFO-fenomeen te laten onderzoeken door Geipan, een onderdeel van de Franse ruimtevaartorganisatie dat nauw samenwerkt met de politie en het leger.
De Franse Cometa-groep, die bestond uit hooggeplaatste functionarissen van het Franse ministerie van Defensie, publiceerde in 1999 een rapport over het UFO-fenomeen. De commissie concludeerde dat de buitenaardse hypothese verreweg de meest waarschijnlijke is. “Deze commissie was buitengewoon zwaar,” zegt Vermeeren. “Dan praat je over mensen uit de wetenschap, uit het leger en van de overheid. Mensen met enorme staten van dienst.”
Évidemment, toutes les radios en parlent ce matin. On notera au passage qu'Elisa Quintana, premier auteur du papier dans Science, appartient à l'institut SETI du centre Ames à Moffett Field, CA.
NASA's Kepler Discovers First Earth-Size Planet In The 'Habitable Zone' of Another Star

Kepler-186f, the first Earth-size Planet in the Habitable Zone
Using NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the first Earth-size planet orbiting a star in the "habitable zone" -- the range of distance from a star where liquid water might pool on the surface of an orbiting planet. The discovery of Kepler-186f confirms that planets the size of Earth exist in the habitable zone of stars other than our sun.
While planets have previously been found in the habitable zone, they are all at least 40 percent larger in size than Earth and understanding their makeup is challenging. Kepler-186f is more reminiscent of Earth.
"The discovery of Kepler-186f is a significant step toward finding worlds like our planet Earth," said Paul Hertz, NASA's Astrophysics Division director at the agency's headquarters in Washington. "Future NASA missions, like the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the James Webb Space Telescope, will discover the nearest rocky exoplanets and determine their composition and atmospheric conditions, continuing humankind's quest to find truly Earth-like worlds."
Although the size of Kepler-186f is known, its mass and composition are not. Previous research, however, suggests that a planet the size of Kepler-186f is likely to be rocky.
"We know of just one planet where life exists -- Earth. When we search for life outside our solar system we focus on finding planets with characteristics that mimic that of Earth," said Elisa Quintana, research scientist at the SETI Institute at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., and lead author of the paper published today in the journal Science. "Finding a habitable zone planet comparable to Earth in size is a major step forward."
Kepler-186f resides in the Kepler-186 system, about 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. The system is also home to four companion planets, which orbit a star half the size and mass of our sun. The star is classified as an M dwarf, or red dwarf, a class of stars that makes up 70 percent of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
The diagram compares the planets of our inner solar system to Kepler-186, a five-planet star system about 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. The five planets of Kepler-186 orbit an M dwarf, a star that is is half the size and mass of the sun. [Click link below for more.]

"M dwarfs are the most numerous stars," said Quintana. "The first signs of other life in the galaxy may well come from planets orbiting an M dwarf."
Kepler-186f orbits its star once every 130-days and receives one-third the energy from its star that Earth gets from the sun, placing it nearer the outer edge of the habitable zone. On the surface of Kepler-186f, the brightness of its star at high noon is only as bright as our sun appears to us about an hour before sunset.
"Being in the habitable zone does not mean we know this planet is habitable. The temperature on the planet is strongly dependent on what kind of atmosphere the planet has," said Thomas Barclay, research scientist at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute at Ames, and co-author of the paper. "Kepler-186f can be thought of as an Earth-cousin rather than an Earth-twin. It has many properties that resemble Earth."
The four companion planets, Kepler-186b, Kepler-186c, Kepler-186d, and Kepler-186e, whiz around their sun every four, seven, 13, and 22 days, respectively, making them too hot for life as we know it. These four inner planets all measure less than 1.5 times the size of Earth.
The next steps in the search for distant life include looking for true Earth-twins -- Earth-size planets orbiting within the habitable zone of a sun-like star -- and measuring the their chemical compositions. The Kepler Space Telescope, which simultaneously and continuously measured the brightness of more than 150,000 stars, is NASA's first mission capable of detecting Earth-size planets around stars like our sun.
Ames is responsible for Kepler's ground system development, mission operations, and science data analysis. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., managed Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo., developed the Kepler flight system and supports mission operations with the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore archives, hosts and distributes Kepler science data. Kepler is NASA's 10th Discovery Mission and was funded by the agency's Science Mission Directorate.
The SETI Institute is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to scientific research, education and public outreach. The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe.

National security scholars at George Washington University have some good news and bad news for UFO buffs - the U.S. government has finally confirmed the existence of Area 51 in Nevada, but it makes no mention of little green men or alien spaceships.
CIA acknowledges its mysterious Area 51 test site for first time
By Steve Gorman
(Reuters) - National security scholars at George Washington University have some good news and bad news for UFO buffs - the U.S. government has finally confirmed the existence of Area 51 in Nevada, but it makes no mention of little green men or alien spaceships.
The government acknowledged the existence of the mysterious aviation test site known as Area 51, a remote installation about 80 miles northwest of Las Vegas, in a newly declassified CIA history of its U-2 spy plane program.
After decades of extreme secrecy surrounding the site, stoking conspiracy theories about UFOs and experiments on alien spacecraft, the CIA lifted its veil on Area 51 in response to a public records request from George Washington University scholars in Washington, D.C.
Publicly released online on Thursday by the university's National Security Archive, the 400-page CIA history contains the first deliberate official references to Area 51, also known as Groom Lake, as a site developed by the intelligence agency in the 1950s to test fly the high-altitude U-2 reconnaissance plane.
Other top-secret aircraft were tested there later, including the supersonic reconnaissance A-12 aircraft, code-named OXCART, and the F-117 stealth ground-attack jet, said archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson, who asked for the CIA's U-2 history in 2005.
A newly revised document restoring numerous references to Area 51 that had been redacted in earlier versions was furnished by the CIA a few weeks ago, he said.
"It's the first time that there must have been a senior-level decision to acknowledge the term 'Area 51' and its specific location" he told Reuters on Friday.
Chapter 2 of the CIA history recounts how Richard Bissell, the CIA officer then overseeing development of the U-2 plane by Lockheed, first spotted the site on an aerial scouting mission over Nevada in April 1955, accompanied by an Air Force officer and two others.
The four men landed their plane near an old, abandoned air strip at the edge of a salt flat known as Groom Lake near the northeastern corner of the Nevada Test Site, the nuclear proving ground then controlled by the Atomic Energy Commission.
IDEAL TEST SITE
The group agreed that Groom Lake would "make an ideal site for testing the U-2 and training its pilots" Bissell subsequently asked the Atomic Energy Commission to add the area to its Nevada real estate holdings, the account says.
"AEC Chairman Admiral Lewis Strauss readily agreed, and President Eisenhower also approved the addition of this strip of wasteland, known by its map designation as Area 51, to the Nevada Test Site" the document says.
To make the barren new facility seem more appealing to its workers, managers of the U-2 program dubbed the facility "Paradise Ranch" which was later shortened to "the Ranch"
Photos of the site and a newly declassified map outlining and labeling the location were also included in the document.
Richelson said he could recall at least two previous government documents in which an incidental reference to Area 51 appeared, but he assumed those were inadvertent because they were devoid of any other details or context.
The multiple detailed references to Area 51 in the latest CIA account - the document's index lists at least 12 mentions - show that they were deliberate, he said.
The intelligence agency had little to say about the disclosure.
"What readers of the CIA study will find is that CIA tests its U-2 and A-12 reconnaissance aircraft at the site in Nevada sometimes referred to as 'Area 51,'" CIA spokesman Edward Price said. "What readers won't find are any references to aliens or other conspiracy theories best left to the realm of science fiction"
Among the more sensational pieces of UFO conspiracy lore linked to Area 51 is that the remains of a flying saucer that supposedly crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, were brought to the site for reverse engineering experiments that attempted to replicate the extraterrestrial spacecraft.
Richelson said the CIA document makes no mention of any such theories. But he pointed to one passage that discusses the relationship between U-2s and unidentified flying objects "in the sense that people sighted U-2s in a time that they were very secretive and at very high altitude and didn't know what they were, and in that sense they were UFOs"

Best UFO sightings recorded from January to April 2014
Best UFO sightings recorded from January to April 2014
Poster said: A variety of UFOs which were observed by multiple witnesses. This video shows why there is something in the sky and many believe these objects to be intelligent. UFO’s at night are the most common.Here is our choice so far in 2014 up to April.
Witness said: I live on Cheung Chau Island, Hong Kong. Yesterday evening I was looking on the Hong Kong observatory web cam on the island when I saw this object. (on the right side). It was 6.25 pm. I can’t send you the real time movie because I couldn’t save it as is a real time web cam but I took a picture during the animation.
UFO sighting over New Albany, Ohio on 11th April 2014
UFO sighting over New Albany, Ohio on 11th April 2014
New interesting video footage of a bright UFO light recorded in the night sky above New Albany, Ohio on 11th April 2014.
Witness said: Strange activity over the Boone area of LA. Best Part Second Half! Fast moving lights with a static amount of energy glowing from them. Confused a witness records the incident as he is aware that it isn’t normal. fiery red objects some moving slow, some moving fast and others at over 150mph! The wind sure was not blowing at that speed lol thats for sure, also if they were military flairs they would of had illuminated its smoke trail and descend! So what are they? Military playing with citizens heads or Alien visitation!
The Peruvian government has re-opened it’s UFO research division in response to the large number of UFO sightings reported in the country in recent years.
Why do so many people think there’s an underground base in Dulce, New Mexico? Join Ben and Matt as they look at the three primary sources of these claims, as well as what the skeptics and the supporters have to say.
The Unicorn is a legendary animal that has been described in ancient times as a horse with a large pointed spiraling horn projecting from it’s forehead. The Unicorn is usually white in color, there have also been mention of Unicorns being a white goat with a horn projecting from it’s forehead. Leonard Lake – serial killer owned an altered goat with a horn projecting from its forehead. This goat was a way for Leonard Lake to meet the ladies. Many ladies enjoyed having their photograph taken with Leonard’s altered goat that he made claim was a Unicorn. The Unicorn myth has been around a long time and was depicted on the ancient seals of the Indus Valley Civilization and was also mentioned by the ancient Greeks. Various scribes such as Strabo, Pliny the Younger, Aelian and Ctesias mention the legend of the Unicorn in their works, even the Bible mentions a similar animal referred to as the Re’em that can be translated to Unicorn. So, my question is, did this animal really exist? Ancient Astronaut theorists believe it did. Not only did the gods (extraterrestrials) manipulate the DNA of mankind, the Egyptians were terrorized by the monstrocities they were creating. Ancient accounts show that the gods were creating monsters that were half this and that. Monsters like the Sphinx, Mermaids, the Hydra, Medusa with her snake hair, Pegasus, Minotaur, Centaur. A sarcophagus was found with crushed animal bones in Egypt, could this have been the monsters that were created by extraterrestrials? We have hyroglphyics that show a normal man having his head cut off and replaced with the head of a wolf. Take for example Anubis who had the body of a man and the head of a Jackal. He was known as the God of Funery Rites and Embalmment. There was also Sobek, the Crocodile Headed Co-God. There was also the Falcon Headed Son of Osiris. It goes on and on. Did these half man, half animal gods exist? Perhaps so, look at what is now happening in modern times. If you lose an ear, no problem. Scientists are able to grow a human ear on a rat and later take that human ear and transplant it where your missing ear was. Now back to the Unicorn. What purpose would the Unicorn have? How about in battle. If many soldiers were riding the Unicorn, it’s elongated horn would be perfect in battle against a horse without a protruding horn. If a Centaur existed, then this Centaur would make a perfect super soldier, able to carry a crossbow or a spear, while traveling as fast as a horse. A superb creature for battle. Unicorns in European folklore were depicted as white horselike or goatlike animals with a long horn and cloven hooves. They were described as woodland creatures that were a symbol of purity and grace. Unicorns could only be captured by a virgin. The Unicorn horn was also known to render poison against the enemy or when crushed, being able to heal the sick. For a long time, black marketeers were selling the horns of Narwhale as Unicorn horns. North Korea believes in Unicorns. The North Korean government reconfirmed the location of the burial site of the unicorn ridden by King Kongmyeong, the founding father of the ancient Korean kingdom of Goguryeo (37BC to 668AD). The unicorn’sgrave was rediscovered near a temple in the Capital of Pyongyang, with a rectangular rock engraved with the words Unicorn’s Lair. Even in modern times Unicorns are seen, check out this video clip? Is this real? Real Unicorn Sighting? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAdAfZwdyCU
On HPI’s paranormal hotline – Charles Longtree said he was in the area of the Alps near Lake Constance, Germany and he spotted a white unicorn with elongated horn coming out of its forehead. He said the Unicorn blended in with the white snow, but he was able to observe it, when it tilted it’s head to the side. The Unicorn was in one area of the Alps that gave Charles the perfect observation viewpoint of the Unicorn. The observation lasted for approximately 3 minutes, before the Unicorn dashed off to higher level in this part of the Alps. Charles said this happened in April 1998. Special Note: I have been to Lake Constance and took a boat around the entirety of the lake that borders Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

On Thursday, April 17, NASA announced the discovery of Kepler-186f, an exoplanet with the greatest likelihood of containing life.
A team of researchers published findings related to the discovery of Kepler-186f in the journal Science. The team identified the planet using data collected by NASA’s Kepler space telescope.

Although some previously discovered planets reside in their stars’ habitable zones, those planets are all at least forty percent larger than Earth. This latest discovery marks the first time scientists have found a rocky, Earth-sized planet that potentially has the necessary conditions for liquid water to exist at the surface. And because water is a necessary ingredient for life as we know it, astrobiologists are excited by the potential for life on Kepler-186f. With a size similar to Earth, this exoplanet, which is located approximately five hundred light years away, could have a rocky surface like Earth and maybe even a similar atomsphere.
Thomas Barclay, an astrophysicist who analyzes exoplanet-hunting data for the NASA Ames Research Center, is a co-author of the research paper published in Science. He explains:
Being in the habitable zone does not mean we know this planet is habitable. The temperature on the planet is strongly dependent on what kind of atmosphere the planet has . . . Kepler-186f can be thought of as an Earth-cousin rather than an Earth-twin. It has many properties that resemble Earth.
Four other planets reside in the Kepler-186 system. These planets orbit a red dwarf star half the size and mass of our Sun. Red dwarf stars account for approximately seventy percent of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

As Barclay explains to Popular Science, “The fact that such Earth kin have never appeared in the data before doesn’t mean they’re rare.” He and his colleagues “expect there to be more out there.”
A Massachusetts parent and daughter in Rehoboth reported watching an egg-shaped UFO moving in a straight line at a slow pace on April 12, 2014, according to testimony in Case 55424 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The two were outside taking a break from raking their yard when the object was first noticed.
“It looked like an 'egg' with a straight line of travel, not bobbing or swaying,” the reporting witness stated. “The object moved in a straight line at a slow pace and was hard to focus on because of the bright day.”
The witness described the object.
“It was an egg-shaped object, white in color. Not sure if it was glowing or if reflecting, but it was definitely white. It seemed to slow a little before slightly curving its course and staying straight after doing so, ascending upward and then not visible anymore.”
The witness said the object appeared to be controlled.
“It was not rising like a balloon would. It appeared to be ascending while traveling across the sky, slowly, with no swaying, no bobbing. The object appeared to be controlled.”
Ça y est : Kepler DÉCOUVRE LA PREMIÈRE VÉRITABLE EXOTERRE. Kepler 186f est à 500 AL de la Terre, son diamètre est de 14000 km, soit à peine plus grosse que la Terre. Et elle se trouve dans la ZH de son soleil, Kepler 186, une naine rouge plus froide que Sol. Cependant l'orbite de 186f est plus proche de son étoile parente et son année est de 130 jours. Sa gravité est proche de celle de la Terre. Comme les naines rouges émettent plus dans l'IR, il est possible que 186f soit plus chaude qu'on pourrait le supposer. Ainsi, la température de surface de la planète permet probablement l'existence d'eau liquide. Et qui dit eau liquide... Par ailleurs, les naines rouges sont beaucoup plus vieilles que notre soleil. Si la vie est apparue là-bas dans le passé, qui sait comment elle ura évolué..
Bon, les vacances sur K186f, ses "cocotiers", ses plages de sable bleu et ses belles humanoïdes à la longue chevelure vert émeraude, ce n'est pas vraiment pour demain, mais bravo la mission Kepler !
Une planète de taille terrestre dans la zone habitable d’une étoile naine
L’annonce de la détection d’une exoplanète pratiquement de la même taille que la Terre, située à une distance de son étoile qui pourrait lui permettre d’abriter de l’eau sous forme liquide, constitue un pas de plus vers la découverte d’une jumelle de notre planète.
La perspective de la découverte d’exoplanètes semblables à la Terre capables d’abriter de l’eau sous forme liquide et donc un milieu favorable à l’apparition et au développement de la vie telle que nous la connaissons sur notre planète est sans doute le moteur le plus puissant de la recherche exoplanétaire. Bien que des exoplanètes de dimension comparable à la Terre aient déjà été détectées, certaines sont même plus petites, elles orbitent bien trop près de leur étoile et leur température est trop élevée pour permettre l’existence durable d’eau sous forme liquide à leur surface. Dans un article publié dans Science, Elisa Quintana (SETI Institute/NASA Ames Research Center) et ses collègues annoncent la détection de Kepler-186f, une exoplanète de 1,11 rayon terrestre (+/- 0,14 rayon) en orbite autour d’une étoile naine de 0,47 rayon solaire, distante de près de 500 années-lumière du Soleil (constellation du Cygne). Kepler-186f est la cinquième exoplanète découverte autour de cette étoile. Les quatre autres ont également une dimension proche de celle de la Terre, mais elles se situent bien plus près de l’étoile. L’étude approfondie de Kepler-186, de son intensité lumineuse et de son spectre, montre que l’exoplanète Kepler-186f se trouve à l’intérieur de sa zone habitable, c’est-à-dire que, si elle possède une atmosphère suffisamment dense et de l’eau, alors la température régnant à sa surface doit permettre la présence d’eau liquide.
Pour Emeline Bolmont, qui a participé à ces recherches avec Sean Raymond et Franck Selsis, tous trois co-auteurs de l’article de Science et membres de l’équipe Système solaire et Exoplanètes au Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux (CNRS/Université de Bordeaux) : « la découverte de cette planète est historique car c’est la planète la plus petite, la plus proche de la taille de la Terre dans la zone habitable de son étoile (et probablement rocheuse). Elle marque sans doute le début d’une période : de plus en plus de ces objets vont être découverts dans le futur, avec des caractéristiques de plus en plus semblables à la Terre. »
Kepler-186 est une étoile de type spectral M qui possède le numéro 8120608 dans le Kepler Input Catalogue.Il existe des dizaines de milliards d’étoiles naines de classe M dans notre galaxie, ce qui laisse entrevoir une perspective plutôt stimulante explique Elisa Quintana : « notre galaxie est probablement jonchée de cousines de Kepler-186f. » Le rayon de l’étoile Kepler-186 est près de deux fois plus petit que celui du Soleil (0,47 +/- 0,05 rayon solaire) et elle brille bien moins intensément ; sa température de surface est proche de 3 500 °C. Mais, ce qui pourrait apparaître comme un handicap, n’en est pas obligatoirement un pour la recherche de mondes habitables. Par « monde habitable », on n’entend pas des mondes sur lesquels on pourrait, par un coup de baguette magique digne de la science-fiction, transporter des êtres humains et leur permettre de vivre comme sur la Terre. Non, « monde habitable » signifie plutôt un monde possédant des conditions de pression et de température qui permettraient l’existence d’eau sous forme liquide sur une très longue période de temps. Les étoiles de type spectral M évoluant très lentement, leur luminosité reste stable durant des milliards d’années, ce qui donne beaucoup de temps à un monde habitable pour voir potentiellement se développer des formes de vie plus ou moins complexes.
L’étoile Kepler-186 a été observée par la sonde américaine Kepler qui a scruté près de 150 000 étoiles, entre mars 2009 et mai 2013, à la recherche des moindres variations d’éclat pouvant trahir la présence d’exoplanètes. Près de 3 800 candidates ont ainsi été signalées par Kepler parmi lesquelles plus de 960 exoplanètes ont d’ores et déjà été confirmées, c’est plus de la moitié de toutes les exoplanètes découvertes à ce jour (1 780 au 16 avril 2014). En dépouillant les mesures des deux premières années de la mission, les astronomes ont détecté quatre exoplanètes autour de Kepler-186, grâce aux infimes variations de luminosité de l’étoile provoquée par les passages de ces corps devant elle (méthode des transits). Ces quatre premières exoplanètes sont toutes plus petites que 1,5 rayon terrestre, mais elles ont des périodes de révolution allant de 3,9 jours à 22,4 jours, ce qui implique une très grande proximité avec leur étoile et donc, entre autres, des températures excessives à leur surface. Avec une année d’observation complémentaire, Elisa Quintana et ses collègues sont parvenus à mettre en évidence une cinquième exoplanète, Kepler-186f. Des observations complémentaires faites avec deux des plus grands télescopes terrestres, le Keck-II et le Gemini North, ont confirmé que les observations de Kepler étaient réelles et ne pouvaient pas être imputées à une autre étoile en orbite autour de Kepler-186 ou située en arrière-plan.

Même si certains s’amusent à donner des noms aux exoplanètes, les astronomes les désignent en ajoutant simplement une lettre au nom de l’étoile en commençant par la lettre b ; les planètes du système de Kepler-186 portent donc les lettres b, c, d, e et f. Ce cinquième membre d’un système planétaire déjà bien développé s’est révélé beaucoup plus intéressant que les autres. Sa période de 129,9 jours indique en effet une orbite plus grande : son rayon est estimé à 0,35 unité astronomique, soit près de 52 millions de kilomètres (l’unité astronomique est la distance moyenne de la Terre au Soleil et elle vaut près de 150 millions de kilomètres). Kepler-186f se situe donc sensiblement à la même distance de son étoile que Mercure ne l’est du Soleil, mais elle ne risque pas d’être « grillée » comme la première planète du Système solaire car l’énergie dispensée par Kepler-186 est bien moindre. En analysant le spectre de cette étoile avec le fameux télescope de 5 m du mont Palomar, les astronomes ont considérablement amélioré notre connaissance physique de cet astre, ce qui leur a permis de déterminer que sa zone d’habitabilité doit s’étendre entre 0,2 et 0,4 unité astronomique de lui, soit de 33 à 68 millions de kilomètres de distance ; Kepler-186f orbite donc à l’intérieur de cette zone « habitable. »
Les données observationnelles de la sonde Keplerpermettent de déterminer la dimension des exoplanètes détectées, mais pas leur masse. Les chercheurs ont donc utilisé des modèles d’évolution thermique des planètes pour estimer la composition et évaluer la masse des corps en orbite autour de Kepler-186. Ils concluent que si Kepler-186f était composée exclusivement d’eau sa masse serait de l’ordre de 0,32 masse terrestre, si elle était constituée uniquement de fer, elle aurait une masse 3,8 fois plus grande que la Terre, enfin, une composition de type terrestre, soit un mélange de fer pour un tiers et de silicates pour deux tiers, donnerait une masse de 1,44 fois celle de notre planète. Cette dernière composition étant, bien sûr, la plus compatible avec l’existence d’eau liquide en surface.
Forts de ces informations, les astronomes, notamment Sean Raymonddu laboratoire d’astrophysique de Bordeaux, ont étudié les scénarios de formation permettant d’expliquer et de comprendre l’architecture d’un système planétaire comme celui de Kepler-186. Les cinq planètes connues à ce jour orbitent pratiquement dans le même plan, que l’on pourrait donc comparer au plan de l’écliptique pour le Système solaire, puisque nous pouvons toutes les cinq les voir transiter devant leur étoile. Les dernières évolutions de la théorie de formation des corps d’un système planétaire à partir de la matière d’un disque protoplanétaire en rotation autour d’une jeune étoile indiquent qu’un disque d’une masse initiale de 10 masses terrestres est nécessaire pour former le système de Kepler-186, mais il n’est pas exclu que des phénomènes de migrations planétaires soient intervenus. En réalisant un grand nombre de simulations numériques avec des paramétrages différents, Sean Raymond et ses collègues ont trouvé dans tous les cas qu’une planète stable devait se former entre 0,15 et 0,35 unité astronomique de l’étoile, ce qui correspond pratiquement à la zone située entre les orbites de Kepler-186e et Kepler-186f. Il n’est pas impossible qu’une sixième planète existe entre e et f, mais elle n’a pas été détectée par les observations du satellite Kepler, donc, si elle existe, elle parcourt une orbite inclinée d’au moins quelques degrés qui l’empêche de transiter devant l’étoile vue de la Terre.
Les forces de marées subies par une planète en orbite autour d’une étoile sont d’autant plus puissantes que l’orbite est petite et elles modifient la rotation de la planète sur elle-même jusqu’à ce qu’elle présente toujours la même face à son étoile. Une telle configuration, provoquant une surchauffe d’une face et un froid extrême sur la face opposée, ne serait sans doute guère favorable au maintien de conditions propices à l’émergence de la vie telle que nous l’envisageons sur Terre, même si des études récentes montrent qu’elle pourrait ne pas être aussi handicapante que l’on pourrait le penser, des zones intéressantes pouvant apparaître à la limite entre les deux faces et une atmosphère dense pouvant répartir plus efficacement la chaleur sur toute la planète. Étant donnée leur proximité, il est probable que les quatre premières planètes du système de Kepler-186 présentent effectivement toujours la même face à leur étoile. Comme le flux d’énergie stellaire qu’elles reçoivent est de 34 fois à 3 fois plus important que celui que reçoit la Terre, la température sur la face exposée doit être vraiment très élevée.
L’exoplanète Kepler-186f, en revanche, se situerait suffisamment loin pour ne pas présenter toujours la même face à son étoile et elle recevrait une insolation proche de 0,32 fois celle de la Terre. Les auteurs de l’article de Science précisent qu’une telle insolation est comparable à celle de l’exoplanète Gliese 581d, découverte il y a sept ans par Stéphane Udry et son équipe de l’observatoire de Genève. Or, des études plus complètes de Gliese 581d, qui est en orbite autour d’une étoile relativement proche de nous, une vingtaine d’années-lumière, ont montré que sa surface pourrait abriter de l’eau sous forme liquide. Pour Elisa Quintana et ses collègues, cela ne signifie pas que Kepler-186f abrite obligatoirement de l’eau liquide, mais, si elle possède une atmosphère suffisamment épaisse, alors la température qui doit régner à sa surface est suffisante pour que de l’eau liquide s’y trouve.
« Kepler-186f n’est pas une jumelle de la Terre, c’est plutôt une cousine », dit Elisa Quintana. Elle est trop lointaine pour que les télescopes terrestres parviennent à réaliser aujourd’hui des observations directes et pour que les astronomes trouvent des réponses aux questions qu'ils se posent à son sujet. Mais, par sa simple présence, elle confirme que des exoplanètes de la taille de la Terre peuvent exister dans les zones habitables des petites étoiles. Il ne reste plus qu’à en découvrir une plus proche, une que les télescopes géants en cours de construction pourront étudier directement pour déterminer s’il s’agit réellement d’une nouvelle Terre et si la composition de son atmosphère révèle l’existence de la vie ailleurs que sur notre planète.

60-year old chicken farmer, Joe Simonton, was startled by a strange loud noise outside and above his farmhouse. He stepped to the window and was surprised to see a silvery object coming down vertically in his yard. He approached the object (with no fear), whereupon a hatch in the upper portion opened and he saw three dark-skinned men inside. One of them handed him a silvery jug with two handles, made a motion like drinking, apparently indicating that he wanted water. Simonton took the jug, filled it and handed it back. Looking into the object, he saw a man ‘cooking’ on some kind of flameless cooking appliance. There were several small perforated cookie-like objects beside the griddle, and Simonton motioned that he wanted one, whereupon one of the men handed four of them to him. Then the object took off at a 45-degree angle and was gone in just a few seconds. As it left, pine trees near the take-off path bowed over, apparently as a result of air turbulence as the object went over them. Joe Simonton reportedly ate one of the “cookies” and said they tasted like cardboard. The occupants of the UFO were small, about 5 feet tall, had dark hair and skin and wore dark blue knit outfits with turtle-neck tops and knit helmets similar to those worn under headpieces such as crash helmets. They either had no beard, or were clean shaven. The whole episode lasted about five minutes and Simonton observed a few details of the inside of the craft. It was dull black, instrument panels included, he said, and somewhat like wrought iron. One of the occupants appeared to be cooking and stacked beside the ‘stove’ were some of the ‘cookies’. One man took care of getting water, and the other stayed at the instrument board. The two who were cooking and watching instruments did not look around. Just after Simonton obtained the cookies the man hooked a line or belt into a hook in his clothing near the waist, closed the hatch, and the object raised to 20 feet above the ground, and then took off straight south. The object itself appeared ‘like two washbowls turned face to face’. The sound Simonton heard before coming out of his house was like ‘knobby tires on a wet pavement’. The craft hovered a short distance (probably only a few inches) off the ground all during the episode. The hatch was about 30 inches wide and about 6 feet tall. All this, Simonton admitted was guesswork.

Delfino Garcia Zarate was at his post as security guard at the Technical Secondary school # 98 Mariano Escobedo and was making the rounds in the patio area when he heard a strong sound resembling a bird moving its wings at a very high rate of speed. Curious he looked up in the direction from which the sound originated and was able to see a hairy man-like figure with two huge dark wings. Terrified he ran into the school and hid in one of the schoolrooms until the morning. Around the same time a woman living in the Unidad Puerta Grande suburb was out in her back patio washing some dishes when she also heard a loud thrashing sound overhead, at first she thought it could had been an eagle and looked up but was surprised to see a hairy man-like figure floating overhead on a pair of huge wings, terrified she also ran into the house. Also around the same time in Cocolapam suburb a man and his son were repairing the TV antenna on their roof when they noticed a winged creature, gray and hairy in appearance that was approaching their location from a northerly direction, the winged humanoid glided on a pair of huge wings and quickly disappeared from sight. Another woman reported being awake around 0300A taking a shower when she looked out the bathroom window in the direction of nearby Cerro De Escamela was surprised to see a huge winged dark creature resembling some type of prehistoric being gliding slowly over the area. Others in nearby Cerro del Borrego have seen a similar winged creature.

Anatoly Zubashev suddenly woke up in the middle of the night having been struck on the head by an unknown assailant. Clenching his fists and ready to fight back, looking around he was again slapped across his forehead and sees moving away in the semi-darkness a huge, broad shouldered 2 meter tall h…airy ape-like creature. He could clearly hear footsteps and watched in disbelief as the creature walks through a closed door into the next room, and there the steps cease. Armed with a chair raised over his head he runs into the next room but the room is empty, he searches around the other rooms and the hallway and the creature is nowhere to be seen.
UPDATE De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft op een persconferentie aangekondigd dat ze een planeet heeft ontdekt ongeveer ter grootte van onze aarde, die mogelijk water en dus ook leven bevat. De planeet, Kepler-186f, cirkelt rond de dwergster Kepler-186, en wel op zo een afstand dat er mogelijk vloeibaar water aanwezig is.
"Het is de eerste exoplaneet met de omvang van de Aarde aangetroffen in de leefbare zone van een andere ster", beklemtoonde Elisa Quintana, de astronoom die het onderzoek leidde. De bevindingen verschenen vandaag ook in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Science.
Binnen 'bewoonbare zone' Rondom de dwergster, die ongeveer half zo groot en kouder is dan onze zon, cirkelen in totaal vijf planeten. Kepler-186f is de verste van de vijf en de enige die binnen de juiste afstand tot de ster staat om mogelijk water te bevatten. Die afstand wordt de 'bewoonbare zone' genoemd, de groene zone op de tweet van de NASA hiernaast. Staan planeten dichterbij hun ster, dan kookt het water weg. Staan ze verder weg, dan krijgen ze niet genoeg energie om een atmosfeer zoals op de aarde te creëren.
Dat de planeet in de leefbare zone is, "betekent niet dat we weten dat deze planeet leefbaar is", aldus Thomas Barclay, co-auteur van het onderzoek. "De temperatuur is sterk afhankelijk van wat soort atmosfeer de planeet heeft. Kepler-186f kan beter beschouwd worden als een neef van de Aarde, dan als een Aarde-tweeling. Het heeft heel wat eigenschappen die lijken op de Aarde." De wetenschappers geloven wel dat op de planeet, die ongeveer 10 procent groter is dan de aarde, door de aanwezigheid van water fotosynthese mogelijk is, wat leven mogelijk maakt. Volgens wetenschappers is de ideale omvang voor een leefbare planeet iets kleiner dan 1,5 keer de omvang van de Aarde.
Het hele systeem bevindt zich op ongeveer 500 lichtjaren afstand van de aarde, in het sterrenbeeld Cygnus.
How does the Kepler-186 system compare to our solar system? #Kepler186
Kepler De planeet werd ontdekt door ruimtetelescoop Kepler, die in 2009 de ruimte in werd geschoten op zoek naar planeten zoals de aarde. Tot nu toe zijn al verschillende exoplaneten gevonden binnen de bewoonbare zone, maar de meeste daarvan waren gigantische gasbollen. Dat is nu niet het geval, al is nog niet geweten hoe zwaar Kepler-186f is en uit welk materiaal de planeet bestaat. Het staat wel zo goed als vast dat de bodem "rotsachtig" is.
Volgens Fred Adams, fysica- en astronomieprofessor bij de Universiteit van Michigan, gaat het om een "belangrijke stap in de queeste om een exoplaneet identiek aan de Aarde te vinden". Volgens wetenschappers versterkt de ontdekking de kans op het vinden van zusterplaneten van de Aarde in ons sterrenstelsel.
“A resident of Maassluis last Friday has filmed a UFO. The UFO was over a quarter visible above the Botlek. In the video the UFO observed the object has a blue color, which makes audible sounds and hangs silent a long time. Then disappears into the clouds,” reports Scott Waring, author of UFO Sighting Daily
It’s interesting that they say it disappeared into the clouds. Lots of UFO sightings have recorded UFOs coming and going from clouds. This tiny bit of info helps confirm that UFOs do use clouds to hide. SCW
“This is an email report that came in today to USD and I am blown away by the UFO hovering over Cheung Chau area. This UFO looks a lot like the UFO that was seen over an airport back in July of 2010 over China’s Xiaoshan Airport. Very lucky and amazing catch on the weather cams. These cams have still photos, not video so its movement is not known,” says Waring.
Eyewitness states: I live on Cheung Chau Island, Hong Kong. Yesterday evening I was looking on the Hong Kong observatory web cam on the island when I saw this object. (on the right side). It was 6.25 pm. I can’t send you the real time movie because I couldn’t save it as is a real time web cam but I took a picture during the animation.
