Location: Between Mairiuex and Maubeuge Nord France Date: November 26 1973 Time: 01:00 a.m.
A man and a woman in a parked car on the Canourge road, Mairieux, noticed a white metallic looking hemispherical object some 50 ft wide in the snow covered fields, 100 yards away. Presently a dark opening appeared in this, from which 6 beings, of 3 different kinds, emerged. First were 3 small humanoids with large heads, 4 ft tall. They had protruding eyes with conspicuous whites, holes for a nose, narrow mouths, and bulging cheeks; their arms were long. They were dressed in tight one-piece suits of metallic appearance. Each carried a dark box 6” on a side whose upper surface bore a round white luminous “screen.” They walked slowly, with stiff small steps, and fanned out as if searching for something. Gradually they approached the road, until within 50 ft of the witnesses. Behind them, nearer to the hemisphere, stood 2 human figures about 6.5 ft tall, with light complexions and blond shoulder length hair, likewise dressed in tight fitting one piece metallic suits, closest to the door stood a squat figure, with long dangling arms, apparently covered with dark fur, “resembling a bear of great ape.” When after about 10 minutes the small beings began to approach the car, the young woman became frightened and jump out, slamming the door, and ran back to her own car which stood close by. At this, the man saw all the figures stood still, then the “animal” reentered the object, followed quickly by the 2 humans and then the 3 humanoids, which ran back with such long, swift strides that they looked as if they were “flying over the ground.” The dark opening disappeared, and the UFO took on a brilliant metallic color, and rose vertically for 30 ft, then shot off westwards, becoming successively orange luminous, bluish, and reddish before dwindling to a point. This all happened with such speed that the young woman observed only the recession of the luminous object. The witnesses did not seek for traces in the snow. However, strange tracks in the snow were found later that morning by a Mrs. Michel and her children in the garden of their house in Maubeuge, 1.1 mile away, implying a connection.

Micro humanoid invasion, Malaysia 1970 145. Location: Bukit Mertajam Penang Malaysia Date: August 19 1970 Time: evening
Six schoolchildren reported seeing a very small disc shaped object, blue in color, and land on some bushes near their school. Five little men described as only 3 inches tall emerged from the object. One was dressed in a yellow suit, the other four in blue uniforms. They were seen installing some type of aerial on a tree branch that apparently sent out signals. The witnesses became frightened and ran away.

The witness, C.R.S., along with two other men had gone to inspect a newly acquired property and lot on the north side of a local stream called “Las Prusianas”. After a-while the three men split up and the witness feeling tired decided to rest and wait for the other men. As he sat drinking some water he suddenly noticed at about 25 meters away a human-like figure walking on the stream bed. Curious the witness stood up and advanced several steps in order to obtain a good look at the figure. Suddenly, filled with an unearthly peace and harmony, the witness stops and stares at the totally human-like figure seemingly losing all notion of time, the figure is wearing a metallic white-colored one-piece suit, very tight-fitting, that covered its hands, feet and head, except for the face. And the areas around its shoulders, knees, neck, elbows and waist it had what appeared to be 3 “rings” which apparently facilitated its movements. On its back it had a large square “back-pack” similar to the ones used by modern day “astronauts” and on the right side of the back-pack the witness saw a long hose like protrusion shaped like a golf stick which the entity seemed to introduce into the stream’s waters, presumably to absorb water. As the entity performed this operation it bends over slightly, once this was done, the hose-like implement slides back into the backpack. Moments later in a “mechanical” type movement the entity turns sharply to its right remaining facing the witness, the entity immediately then starts moving towards the witness stopping at about 10meters away. The stunned witness notices that the figure moves in strange fluid movements as if stepping on an “air cushion”, he observes as the grass seems to flatten and part in front of the entity. Despite the fact that the figure is about 10 meters from him, the witness for some reason is unable to distinguish the entity’s facial features and cannot see if is wearing gloves. The entity seems totally indifferent to the presence of the witness. The entity then turns and walks into the nearby thick brush which also seems to part as he advances through it, and it also closes behind him. The witness points out that the thick brush in the area is very rough and spiny but it appears not to affect the entity. At no time did the witness see any anomalous lights, noises or see any unidentified crafts. Later when the two other men return the witness does not tell them what he had seen but does ask them if they had seen anything strange, apparently they had not.
When I was a kid and laid down on the grass at night and studied the stars, I often thought about how vast it is. Too vast for us to understand. Are we seeing the universe as it really is, or just dots and bits of something even bigger? What if our earth and other planets are nothing more than cells that make up something inconceivably larger? Something like if the cells in your body see each other, but would not know they were part of a bigger thing called a human being. They have no perspective to understand that concept. We look at planets and stars and think that's it, a lot of objects floating in a giant space.
Consider this: We have 2-dimensional things in our world, such as images on photographs and TV screens. If you were from another planet and visited us, it would seem quite strange that a human could study a box for hours at a time and find entertainment, but it is the images and added soundtrack that stimulate our mind, so we watch the TV screen. If you were inside the TV screen, all you would see around you are the things in your periphery, width and length, but there is no height, so you have no perspective that there are 3-dimensional beings outside of your TV screen watching you.
Now, imagine if you will that if we in the 3-dimensional world of height, breadth, depth, width, mass, can be entertained by watching 2-dimensional activity, imagine what those in the next dimension might feel about our 3-dimensional world? Whereas we use paper and pen to conceptualize in 2-D form but see it as only representational and not real, might the next dimensionals use the third dimension to conceptualize and use it as representation but not reality? We can co-exist with the second dimension in the same space, and so we might be sharing our space with the next dimension–well, almost certainly!
When we can conceive of other dimensions simultaneously occurring, we can also perhaps explain some things that have baffled us, such as apparitions appearing and disappearing, UFOs arriving and departing in ways that appear to defy known laws of physics. How about poltergeist movement of objects? Something like that Carl Sagan explanation of a 3-dimensional being grasping a 2-dimensional being and lifting him out of his context. It might be that the item was not thrown by unseen forces, but perhaps manipulated by the next dimension and to us it appeared to occur quite magically. I'd compare this to dripping a drop of paint on a photo image and having Mr. Photo Image go “where did that come from? It just appeared in my world.”
What is even more intriguing about these concepts is that if we did catch glimpses of other dimensional “things,” we are very likely only seeing the portion of it we can conceive of in our 3rd dimension:
If you were in a 1-dimensional world, you could see in front and behind you, but not to the sides or up and down.
If you were in a 2-dimensional world, you could see in front and back and to the sides, but not up and down.
If you are in a 3-dimensional world (which we are), you could see front and back, sides and up and down.
I hope I got you thinking a bit more and wondering why I put this on a ghost hunting theories site. It is entirely possible that what we consider the afterlife is really freeing ourselves from the 3-dimensional body to be all-knowing, all-encompassing. We dominate over the 2-D world and we can do so because we can tackle it from all its dimensions, but what can another dimension do to our 3-D world? Could it be that it is a universe that can conceive of everything while having no need for mass as we know it? Does just a physical form of us get shed so we might go onto be unencumbered by such things and be able to conceptualize the next dimension? This is very much like what near-death experiencers describe; that was the real world, this world they came back to is the fake one.
Wouldn't it make it very hard indeed for the next dimension to interact with us in a way we can understand? If we put a drawing on a piece of paper next to another doodle we did earlier, it sees that another of its kind is nearby, but knows nothing of how it got there or why minutes later it was erased from existence. This is sort of like seeing a glimmering apparition for a few brief seconds to have it disappear or even a UFO. We only see part of this next dimensional being because we can only view it in our 3rd dimensional reference, just like that 2-dimensional drawing only saw another dot nearby it and recognized a dot as “his kind” even though it was a human standing there. With no ability to conceptualize height, it was simply another one of his being friends; the part of him he has the concept to recognize.
What part of the next dimension can we not visualize?
So, is Heaven the next dimension?
Using our own world as a comparison, imagine that we draw up a sketch of a machine we want to build. We plot it out on 2-dimensional form and then build it into the 3-dimensional form. Our 2-dimensional concept became a 3-dimensional reality. Now, image that there is a “God” and this God sends one of His out to greet us and we see him only in his 3-dimensional form because that is the only way we can view things (like that poor 2-dimensional fellow would only see us 3-dimensionals as a dot). So, this man has abilities to make things appear and disappear (like that 3-dimensional man moving around the 2-dimensional objects) and we call this man a God and name him Jesus or other visionary. What if when a person passes on, he is actually being represented in the next dimensional plane as that drawing we made became a machine we built. We are nothing more than a concept in the third dimension but we become a reality in the next dimension… afterlife.

Fantastically understandable video example Great written explanation. A great book by Marie Jones “PSIence”
Generally we’ll stay away from UFO stories since most sightings shared on YouTube are so obviously fake. The video below though has gotten us wondering what in the world we are witnessing. Two videographers in separate states took telescopic images of the moon during the eclipse; they captured something amazing. DarkSkyWatcher74 and Crrow777 share what they call a ground breaking and historical first. Are these objects new space weapons? Crafts from distant galaxies? Pay attention, they’re fast… but you can’t miss them if you’re watching closely. What are they?
Alien‘s DNA Polygraph Results Revealed Mystery Blonde Leaves Hair
Behind — But Who Was She? An abduction case from Australia has resulted in what may be the world’s first DNA test of abduction-related biological material.
In July 1992, Peter had the experience that became the focus of this case study. Because the experience had disturbing sexual aspects, Peter was very reticent to talk about it. He first mentioned it to Bill Chalker, one of Australia’s leading researchers, in 1996.
He showed Chalker that he had recovered an unusual strand of hair from the encounter. In 1996, Peter was hypnotically regressed by Pulitzer prize-winning, Harvard psychiatrist John Mack to try to clarify the 1988 experience. Under Mack’s regression Peter described being taken into an illuminated room. He was on a table with one entity above him, speaking to him but with a sound like birds chirping. It was one person – a shadowy tall figure – but the sound seemed like 50 of them. Peter thought at the time, how was he going to remember what the entity told him.

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.

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.”

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
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.
Reptile Captured in Latest Mars Photo. Jason Hunter was looking at the most recent Mars Curiosity Photos and came across this interesting find. Here is what appears to be a lizard on Mars. This lizard clearly has one leg up. Whether this lizard is a fossil or an actual living creature remains to be seen. You can find the original photo by clicking here”
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.”
