I am fascinated with artwork from the European Renaissance era that depict odd flying objects and other anomalies. There are many examples that were created throughout the continent.
One the most interesting objects, in my opinion, was a tapestry created in 1538 in the city of Bruges, Belgium, known as the Summer’s Triumph. It depicts the victorious ascension of a ruler to power. However, there is something far more interesting depicted in the tapestry, which would be easy to miss unless you were looking closely – multiple objects in the sky, which have the classical UFO shape that is popularized in the media.
The city of Bruges is the capital and the largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium in the northwest of the country.
If you look at the top of the tapestry, especially towards the left-hand side, it is possible to see a number of ‘hat shaped’ flying objects in black – that are not related to any religious depictions that are frequently seen in the sky in other medieval artworks.
Although their presence is baffling, some speculate they may have been added in the tapestry in order to connect the UFOs to the ruler as a symbol of divine intervention. If the people in that era associated flying saucers with divinity, it means they were seeing such objects in the sky and linking them to a ‘godly’ phenomena. Of course on the other hand there are those who have claimed that these unusual hat-shaped objects are simple strangely-shaped dark clouds.
The “Triumph of Summer”, is held at the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum on extended loan from the HypoVereinsbank UniCredit Bank AG. The museum has no other information regarding the tapestry’s history.
Another interesting piece by an Italian painter named Ventura Salimbeni is responsible for one of the most mysterious altar paintings in history. Disputa of the Eucharist a 16th-century painting also known as The Glorification of the Eucharist, is a three-part work. The bottom two parts are relatively benign, depicting a number of religious authorities and an altar. However, the top part shows the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and a dove depicting the Holy Ghost) looking upon them…and holding what seems to be a space satellite or antenna craft. The object is large and spherical, with a metallic finish, telescopic antennas, and strange lights. In fact, it somewhat resembles a Soviet Sputnik satellite.
Although UFO enthusiasts and ancient astronaut theorists have often claimed the Disputa as proof of extraterrestrial life (or perhaps time travel), experts have been quick to debunk such notions. According to them, the orb is a Sphaera Mundi, a globe-like representation of the universe that used to be common in religious art. The strange lights on the “satellite” are merely the sun and the moon, and its antennas are actually scepter wands that act as symbols of authority for the Father and the Son.
Speaking of spherical anomalies, this brings us to a bizarre discovery. A self propelled, seamless metallic orb was found by members of the Betz family on March 27, 1974, and rapidly became the object of fascination & controversy for scientists, military officials, ufologists and the general public as the story of this mystery sphere quickly spread through the international media.
The silvery sphere, about 20 centimeters (eight inches) in diameter, was completely smooth except for a strange, elongated triangle symbol. It was found while the family examined the damage of a strange fire that had decimated 88 acres of their woodland on marshy Fort George Island, which is located just east of Jacksonville, Florida. Initially thinking it might be a NASA or even a Soviet spy satellite, they eventually decided it was most likely just a souvenir. They decided to take it with them.
Two weeks later, one of the Betz’ children was strumming a guitar in the same room as the sphere. Suddenly, the sphere started reacting to his tunes, emitting a strange throbbing sound and a resonance that deeply disturbed the family’s dog. Soon, the Betz family found the orb had other strange properties. It could stop and change directions when pushed across the floor, eventually returning to the initial spot. It seemed to draw power from solar energy, becoming noticeably more active on bright days.
It seemed like something was controlling the sphere. It would occasionally emit low-frequency rattling and vibrations, like there was a motor running inside. It seemed to avoid falling and crashing at all costs, as if to protect something inside it. It even managed to completely defy the laws of gravity and climb up a slanted table to avoid falling.
The New York Times and the London Daily and other media outlets sent reporters to witness the miracle sphere, which repeated its tricks to countless people. Even scientists and representatives of the military were impressed, although the Betz family wouldn’t let them take the sphere for closer examination. However, the sphere soon started to exhibit strange behavior. Poltergeist–like activity started to occur. Doors started slamming shut at night and strange organ music would fill the house out of the blue.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a famed ufologist and astronomer at Northwestern University in Chicago, contacted the Betz family and asked to examine the sphere. Dr. Hynek was going to be in New Orleans, LA the following week for a meeting with the National Enquirer tabloid, which was establishing a $50,000 prize for definitive proof of aliens. Since Hynek and several other scientists on the Enquirer’s panel were all there, Terry Betz and his sister drove out from Florida to show them the ball in person.
Hynek’s 1972 book The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry had made him perhaps the most popularly known ufologist of the day. But on the Betz sphere, his verdict was a disappointing one. According to a report in the St. Petersburg Independent:
Hynek says none of the five scientists now think the ball is anything but manmade. “None will go so far as to say it’s extra-terrestrial,” he said in an interview yesterday. “They would be putting their scientific reputations on the line.”
So what is it?
At this point in time, the best way to answer this question is to actually the examine the ball, using modern techniques. Unfortunately, there is no record of the ball, or of Terry Betz himself, from recent years. But those newspaper reports did ring bells with a few people.
The Palm Beach Post reported on April 18, 2012 that Lottie Robinson recognized the ball from the pictures, then retrieved it from the garage where it had sat for some 15 years. Technicians from the St. Regis Company paper mill identified it as a ball valve from some large pipes used in their factory, and that had been scrapped 15 years before. Somehow that ball had found its way from a scrap dealer to Mrs. Robinson’s son, and from there to her garage. It was very close, but not identical, in size and weight to the Betz sphere.
Robert Edwards, president of a Jacksonville, FL equipment supply company, was next to make an inquiry. He showed a UPI reporter a brand new stainless steel ball, manufactured by Bell & Howell in Bridgeport, CT. Edwards and the reporter uncrated it, weighed and measured it, and found that it was 8 inches across and weighed just over 21 pounds…exactly the same as the Betz sphere.
“I’m not saying that this thing didn’t come from outer space because I’ve never seen it. All I’m saying is that the physical description of it matches exactly the type of ball we have in stock.”
At a later date, a Navy metallurgist had identified the ball as being made of an alloy called stainless steel 431. According to the web site of a supplier of this alloy:
431 has been successfully used in a variety of aircraft and general industrial applications. These include fasteners, bolts, valve components and chemical equipment.
A for the amazing properties…moving by itself, rolling uphill, making organ music, and transmitting radio signals. Could it be, by chance, that this is just an ordinary piece of industrial machinery? Someone suggested to me several years ago that this sphere may actually be a mysterious ‘Foo Fighter’ UFO from WWII. It’s doubtful…but maybe the true identity of the sphere will surface one day.
See the best NASA captured images of UFO’s. See Washington insiders and high level whistle-blowers spill the beans about UFO’s. Hear it from the horses mouth how we all have been lied to for over 60 years.
The question is – how did a Romanian dictator wind up in Italy? It’s generally believed that Tepes died on the battlefield. There are researchers now who suspect that Tepes was taken prisoner, ransomed to his daughter, by then safe in Italy, and buried in a church in Naples.
Born in 1431, Tepes was part of a noble family that was itself part of the Order of the Dragon, which was engaged in fighting the expansion of the Ottoman Empire into Europe. Vlad’s father was nicknamed Dracul, meaning ‘Dragon’ so the young Vlad became Dracula, or ‘son of Dragon’.
Dracula disappeared in 1476 battle. While some sources have claimed that he died, the researchers claim he was in fact imprisoned and hauled away in chains by the Turks.
His daughter Maria was meanwhile brought to the Neapolitan court, whose ruling family was allied with her own family. She was adopted and eventually married to a Neapolitan nobleman.
Documents have proved that Maria in fact paid a ransom to the Turks for her father, who was then brought to Naples, the historians say.
A newly uncovered headstone in Naples’ Piazza Santa Maria La Nova, the same graveyard as Tepes’ daughter and son-in-law, could be Dracula’s final resting place.
Student Erika Stella, investigating the cloister of Santa Maria Nova in Naples for her thesis, discovered the grave – quite unlike the others surrounding it, and returned with historians who undertook months of research.
Medieval history scholar Raffaello Glinni said that the 16th century tomb is covered in images and symbols of the House of the Transylvanian “Carpathians,” not in keeping with the tomb of an Italian nobleman.
“When you look at the bas-relief sculptures the symbolism is obvious,” he told newspaper reporters.
“The dragon means Dracula and the two opposing sphinxes represent the city of Thebes also called Tepes. In these symbols, Dracula Tepes, the very name of the count is written,” he said.
Researchers have now applied for official permission to investigate the grave.
One thinks – will there be a researcher with garlic and a wooden stake at the ready? – Catholic Online
German court rules that dead workers have a right to paid holidays
Dead workers in Germany have a right to any annual leave which they’ve failed to claim at the time of their death, Europe’s top court ruled on Thursday. In a case brought by a widow from North Rhine-Westphalia, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled she was entitled to money from her dead husband’s employer for the holiday he had failed to claim.
The dead man, named only as Mr Bollacke, worked for the retailer K+K from August 1998 to November 2010, when he died. He had been seriously ill since 2009 and was unable to work for a long period of time. When he died he had 140.5 days of annual leave outstanding, worth €16,000. Mr Bollacke’s widow asked supermarket K+K for the money in lieu of the annual leave not taken by her husband.
But they turned her down, saying she couldn’t inherit her dead husband’s unclaimed holidays. In 2011 she took her case to the Higher Labour Court in Hamm, North Rhine-Westphalia, which also rejected her claim. But she then appealed the court’s decision and the Hamm court referred the case to the ECJ in Luxembourg. In a judgment published on Thursday, the ECJ stressed the right to paid holidays was “particularly important”.
“The Court has previously held that where the employment relationship has terminated, the worker is entitled to an allowance in lieu in order to prevent all enjoyment of that right to leave being lost,” it said. Overruling German law, which states you lose your right to holidays when you die, the court said: “Receipt of financial compensation if the employment relationship ends by reason of the worker’s death ensures the effectiveness of the entitlement to leave.” It will now be up to the labour court in Hamm to make a decision on the case. – TheLocal
Manasquan, NJ – 12/1/1964 – unedited: Our family had at least five contacts over a four year period.
First my daughter Martha described her experience. Then Connie told me what happened to her. John described an “owl” who came in the window “But he didn’t get me, I hid between the edge of the mattress and the wall”
Then the most detailed information came from a child who,at that time was a little less than four. Finally, exactly a year later they came for me.
Three Aliens named Xeno, Nem and Omah took me away and removed ovum.
All of these contacts happened at night probably after one AM in our bedrooms. I have kept this to myself for years and told the children not to discuss anything about their experiences because I didn’t want to get the reputation of being mentally ill and I wanted to avoid our being the “crazy McCann Family” At that time NO ONE believed in Aliens or Flying Saucers and if I had spoken of it I would have had personal difficulties with neighbors and others.Times have changed and if anything I can say could be helpful I will cooperate fully. – MUFON CMS
I’ll start off by apologizing to the people that told my friends and I to not use the board again. Last night being Friday the 13th as well as a full moon, we thought we may as well give it another go. My friend ‘J’ and I did it to start with. We got the entity that named itself ‘B’ and found out that ‘B’ is supposedly my ‘guardian’. We asked a lot of questions about this and this is what we found out:
Basically everyone has a single demon or entity that can see into their mind, this is how that specific demon can see into the human world. The ‘Z’ entity that I mentioned in my last post tries to latch itself onto people or boards. ‘Z’ and ‘B’ fought over possession of the board through most of the session. We were told that was ‘Z’ punishing each of our entity demons because ‘Z’ wanted access to us but couldn’t get it because of them. After a while ‘Z’ cut off our contact to any other entities and kept trying to trick us into saying versions of it’s name (Zozo, Zaza, Mnmn, Gaga), so we ended the session after that.
For those skeptical, I did try some things to test this. While talking to ‘B’, who can supposedly see into my mind, I kept my eyes closed and asked it questions that only I knew the answer to and let my friends read out the answers to me afterwards. I asked what my fathers name is and sure enough it spelled out his name. Earlier I asked what my middle name is and instead it spelled out my grandmothers name, which was weird. I’m not the kind of person to believe something blindly, so I tried to eliminate anything that could be messing with it. I did without my friends so that I knew it wasn’t them just messing with me. I mean it could have been a subconscious thing, but the test with my eyes closed kind of cancels that? I don’t know. When my friends ‘L’ and ‘M’ joined back in the entities ‘Z’ and ‘V’ (‘M’s ‘guardian’) were supposedly fighting over possession over the board and ‘M’s mind. ‘M’ claimed to be able to feel them fighting in her mind and got a bad headache from it. It could have been a coincidence, or imagination or anything really, but that’s what she felt. – Reddit.com

Doctor, What Is Wrong With Me? Mr. Washington Post, You Are Suffering From The David Susskind Syndrome.
Doctor, What Is Wrong With Me? Mr. Washington Post, You Are Suffering From The David Susskind Syndrome
Hi all:,
From Stanton Friedman's 2008 "Flying Saucers and Science", Chapter 10: The Press and Flying Saucers - pp. 250-251: "I don't know why the Washington Post and the New York Times have been not only negative, but also guilty of poor journalism. My best suggestion is that both have been suffering (along with others) from the David Susskind Syndrome, a medical condition I derived from my interactions with TV talk show host David Susskind. ... I have come to delineate the Susskind Syndrome this way: Susskind and everyone else would acknowledge that, if aliens were visiting Earth, and the government was covering it up, it would be a big and important story. But because he and other bright but clueless intellectuals such as Dr. Carl Sagan and Dr. Isaac Asimov take great pride in knowing about the important stories, and haven't known anything about flying saucers, then they must not be real. Anyone who thinks they are must not be very bright, and doesn't understand that secrets couldn't possibly be kept from such smart people as Susskind, et al. Right? Absolutely wrong."
From Terry Hansen's 2000 "The Missing Times", Chapter V: Editing History - Discrete contacts - pp. 173-174 (The late Harvard University psychiatrist Dr. John Mack about the differences in coverage he witnessed both in regional and national news media:
"The sense I get from the local news media, and also from many radio stations, is that they're reporting it straight," ... "it's newsworthy, and UFOs are interesting, and they take it on." Whereas the ... elite newspapers like the New York Times or the Washington Post, even the Boston Globe here, it's as if they have some kind of influences looking over their shoulder ... I don't know what those might be, whether those are the senior editors or corporate people [who] don't want to offend commercial interests or scientific interests or feel they have to protect the status quo philosophically, or scientifically - I don't know. I just know that there tends to be more of a snide or ridiculing attitude, or dismissal altogether. And that can go to extreme lengths. "
Book review: ‘Encounter in Rendlesham Forest’ a look at a UFO by Nick Pope
And so, another book on UFOs. Have we not yet reached the saturation point? Rehearsed all the possible pros and cons?
Nick Pope, the primary author of “Encounter in Rendlesham Forest,” insists that this case is different: It’s definitive. He’s wrong. But that doesn’t mean the book is without its charms, offering, perhaps, an answer to the question: Why more flying-saucer books?
The Rendlesham Forest incident — known in UFO circles as Britain’s Roswell — occurred in the days (and nights) after Christmas in 1980 in a wooded area of England between two military bases then occupied by the U.S. Air Force. Pope recounts the events briefly, covering the narrative in the first 90 pages. According to him, his co-authors, John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, both then with the Air Force, investigated mysterious lights in the forest. Burroughs was on patrol and had seen blue and red flashing lights. He and a superior drove out through the gate and saw a white light, too, which seemed to advance on them. They returned to the base.
Just after midnight, Penniston joined the two men, and they drove out again. Initially, they thought a small plane might have crashed. Instead, they and a few others who joined them came across something else altogether. In a small clearing, “there was a silent explosion of light.” In its aftermath, they could see “a small, metallic craft,” about nine feet high and nine feet across. “The craft was roughly triangular in shape” and either hovered or rested on a tripod. It was decorated with blue and white lights as well as heiroglyphic-like markings. Penniston approached the thing and touched it, and then it sped off at an “impossible” speed.
When the lights returned two nights later, deputy base commander Lt. Col. Charles Halt and a team that included Burroughs investigated. They didn’t see a craft, but Halt found what he thought was the original landing site and noted that nearby trees had been abraded. Measurements suggested that the radiation level was higher than that of the surroundings. Subsequently, the witnesses were debriefed by other members of the U.S. government, reports were sent up the chain of command, and British officials investigated but were unimpressed by what they saw.
‘Encounter in Rendlesham Forest: The Inside Story of the World's Best-Documented UFO Incident’ by Nick Pope, John Burroughs, and Jim Penniston. (Thomas Dunne)
The story leaked out over the coming years, becoming more urgent after the principals retired from the military and spoke more freely. Burroughs and Penniston both developed health problems that they traced back to those events in late December 1980 and the radiation to which they were exposed. The Department of Veterans Affairs, though, has seemed to block access to their medical records.
Hard evidence in support of the story is lacking. The gauge used to measure the radiation had settings too coarse to detect the small changes attributed to it — a shortcoming that Pope notes only evasively. There is no record of an unidentified craft being sighted by area radar. Penniston took photographs of the craft, but the film could not be developed. Halt made an audio tape of his investigation, but it is unremarkable. Pope gives no citations, so there is no way to know the provenance of the reports and memos he discusses.
Instead there are unwarranted conclusions and a welter of unrelated anecdotes. Most of one chapter is written by Burroughs and Penniston’s lawyer, who gives a cursory summary of attempts to obtain their medical records. The failure to release them provides all the evidence Pope needs to say that the documents must be classified. There is no conclusion as to what occurred on those winter nights almost 34 years ago. Penniston and Burroughs are of the opinion that a government is behind the event, using talk of UFOs as a cover. Halt thinks the craft came from outer space. Pope is more coy but seems to favor the extraterrestrial hypothesis.
The witnesses, military personnel though they were, turn out to be untrustworthy. The quotations in the book attributed to Halt show him to be something of a crank, insisting that in the debriefings witnesses were “subjected to mind control efforts using drugs and hypnosis by British and American authorities.” Penniston’s story has changed dramatically over the years; he now says that he spent 45 minutes in close communion with the craft and that, when he touched it, a binary code was downloaded directly into his brain. He remembered the transmission only after hypnosis.
Despite all these (very large) holes, the Rendlesham tale remains popular among those interested in UFOs — as Pope’s book shows, with repeated references to television documentaries and magazine stories. Which raises the question: Why?
“Encounter in Rendlesham Forest” is full of paranoia about the government — not all of it, or even most of it, unwarranted. Pope refers to the Iraq war (with its missing WMDs), drone strikes and NSA spying. He also reasonably worries that the U.S. government may be subcontracting the study of UFOs to private enterprise, thus shielding it from Freedom of Information Act requests.
Indeed, much of the story turns on Freedom of Information Act requests and how they made the investigation of the Rendlesham events possible by the Americans (the Brits not so much, at least until they had similar laws). Which points to why these stories fascinate so.
Governments are so large, and the handles we have on them so small, so slippery, that it is impossible to control the leviathan we have created. Pope himself worked for the British government — in a section investigating UFOs — and felt frustrated at his inability to turn others on to the importance of this matter. If even those inside the government cannot control it, what hope those who are only its subjects? Stories about flying saucers allow readers to contemplate these issues on a vast scale. Roswell, after all, occurred in 1947, but it didn’t become a cause celebre until after Watergate.
Carl Jung once famously said that stories about UFOs were a new myth — about lights in the sky. That’s not the whole story, not anymore. Flying saucers are also myths about the mightiness of the expanding states.

Ancient fossils discovered by bachelor party in New Mexico
(CBS) — There are plenty of crazy things that can happen at a bachelor party, but stumbling across ancient fossils may be a first.
A stag group made the surprising discovery at Elephant Butte Lake State Park, about 150 miles south of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
“As we are cruising by we see a large tusk or what seems to be a large tusk coming out of the ground about a good three to four inches out,” Antonio Gradillas told CBS affiliate KRQE News 13.
Gradillas and his friends started digging and found what appeared to be the giant remains of a prehistoric elephant skull.
They thought it was a woolly mammoth and sent pictures of it to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque.
Scientists there say it looked like a Stegomastodon, a 9-foot tall, 13,000 pound, prehistoric pachyderm that roamed New Mexico millions of years ago.
“He advised us that it may not be a woolly mammoth, it’s the wrong era and weren’t conducive to this area. He says it’s more the Ice Age era, 40 to 60 million years old, and chances are good it’s a mastodon,” Gradillas said.
The area has been blocked off so a small team of paleontologists can work on excavating the fossil.
“(The skull) looks virtually 100 percent complete, a very important scientific discovery that we may put on public display,” said Gary Morgan, curator of paleontology at the museum.
He says he has not seen anything like this in his 30-year career and will lead the expedition to the remains, located in a remote area ten miles north of a small city called Truth or Consequences.
Excavation could take up to six hours and requires a front-end loader. The skull may weigh up to 1,000 pound, given the fact it will be filled with sand.
Human Ancestors Caught Herpes From Chimp Ancestors
Chimps. Herpes. Cherpes. And you thought “catching it from a toilet seat” was bad…
A herpes virus that infects humans originated in chimpanzees before it jumped into our early human ancestors, according to a new study.
Researchers found that herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infected hominids before their evolutionary split from chimpanzees 6 million years ago, whereas herpes simplex 2 (HSV-2) was transferred from ancient chimpanzees to human ancestors such as Homo erectus about 1.6 million years ago, long before the rise of early modern humans about 200,000 years ago.
Earth may have underground ‘ocean’ three times that on surface
Scientists say rock layer hundreds of miles down holds vast amount of water, opening up new theories on how planet formed.

After decades of searching scientists have discovered that a vast reservoir of water, enough to fill the Earth’s oceans three times over, may be trapped hundreds of miles beneath the surface, potentially transforming our understanding of how the planet was formed.
The water is locked up in a mineral called ringwoodite about 660km (400 miles) beneath the crust of the Earth, researchers say. Geophysicist Steve Jacobsen from Northwestern University in the US co-authored the study published in the journal Science and said the discovery suggested Earth’s water may have come from within, driven to the surface by geological activity, rather than being deposited by icy comets hitting the forming planet as held by the prevailing theories.
“Geological processes on the Earth’s surface, such as earthquakes or erupting volcanoes, are an expression of what is going on inside the Earth, out of our sight,” Jacobsen said.
“I think we are finally seeing evidence for a whole-Earth water cycle, which may help explain the vast amount of liquid water on the surface of our habitable planet. Scientists have been looking for this missing deep water for decades.”
Jacobsen and his colleagues are the first to provide direct evidence that there may be water in an area of the Earth’s mantle known as the transition zone. They based their findings on a study of a vast underground region extending across most of the interior of the US.
Ringwoodite acts like a sponge due to a crystal structure that makes it attract hydrogen and trap water.
If just 1% of the weight of mantle rock located in the transition zone was water it would be equivalent to nearly three times the amount of water in our oceans, Jacobsen said.
The study used data from the USArray, a network of seismometers across the US that measure the vibrations of earthquakes, combined with Jacobsen’s lab experiments on rocks simulating the high pressures found more than 600km underground.
It produced evidence that melting and movement of rock in the transition zone – hundreds of kilometres down, between the upper and lower mantles – led to a process where water could become fused and trapped in the rock.
The discovery is remarkable because most melting in the mantle was previously thought to occur at a much shallower distance, about 80km below the Earth’s surface.
Jacobsen told the New Scientist that the hidden water might also act as a buffer for the oceans on the surface, explaining why they have stayed the same size for millions of years. “If [the stored water] wasn’t there, it would be on the surface of the Earth, and mountaintops would be the only land poking out,” he said.
Ongekend’ mysterie: Tientallen vluchten verdwijnen van radar
‘Ongekend’ mysterie: Tientallen vluchten verdwijnen van radar
Op 5 en 10 juni zijn de vluchtgegevens van tientallen vliegtuigen op mysterieuze wijze bijna een half uur van de radar verdwenen in Oostenrijk en omringende landen. Europese veiligheidsorganisaties zijn inmiddels een onderzoek gestart.
Marcus Pohanka van luchtverkeersleiding Austro Control beschrijft de incidenten op 5 juni en afgelopen dinsdag als ‘ongekend’. Hij liet weten dat de hoogte, locatie, identiteit en andere informatie van de vliegtuigen plotseling 25 minuten van de radar verdwenen. Een militaire analyse die in handen is van de Oostenrijkse krant Kurier sprak van een ‘rampzalige gebeurtenis’.
Experts zijn ervan overtuigd dat bij de betrokken vliegtuigen ook meerdere passagiersvluchten zaten, gezien de hoogte waarop de toestellen vlogen. Eerste geruchten beweren dat naast Oostenrijk ook vliegtuigen boven München en Karlsruhe in Duitsland en Praag in Tsjechië van de radar zijn verdwenen.
“Er zijn geen gewonden gevallen en niemand was op enig moment in gevaar,” aldus de officiële instanties. Het is de vraag hoe het mogelijk is dat vliegtuigen in de huidige hoogtechnologische wereld zomaar van de radar kunnen verdwijnen. Het voorval doet terugdenken aan de vlucht van Malaysia Airlines die op 8 maart van de radar verdween en nooit is teruggevonden.
Externe bron
De radars werden ‘gestoord door een externe bron’. Door de verstoring kwam belangrijke vluchtinformatie niet binnen. Welke vliegmaatschappijen en vliegtuigen betrokken waren bij het voorval wilde Pohanka niet zeggen. Wel gaf hij aan dat zoiets nog nooit eerder is gebeurd.
De oorzaak van het fenomeen is niet bekend. Er werd aanvankelijk gedacht aan een storing door een NAVO-oefening in Hongarije, maar die werd op de tijdstippen in kwestie niet gehouden.
Op het moment dat de vluchten van de radar verdwenen werden extra luchtverkeersleiders ingezet en trof men noodmaatregelen. De luchtverkeersleiders moesten de piloten te spreken krijgen en ook werden aanvliegroutes verbreed.

There are some 100 million other places in the Milky Way galaxy that could support complex life, report a group of university astronomers in the journal Challenges. They have developed a new computation method to examine data from planets orbiting other stars in the universe.
Their study provides the first quantitative estimate of the number of worlds in our galaxy that could harbor life above the microbial level.
“This study does not indicate that complex life exists on that many planets. We’re saying that there are planetary conditions that could support it. Origin of life questions are not addressed — only the conditions to support life,” according to the paper’s authors Alberto Fairén, Cornell research associate; Louis Irwin, University of Texas at El Paso (lead author); Abel Méndez, University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo; and Dirk Schulze-Makuch, Washington State University.
“Complex life doesn’t mean intelligent life — though it doesn’t rule it out or even animal life — but simply that organisms larger and more complex than microbes could exist in a number of different forms. For example, organisms that form stable food webs like those found in ecosystems on Earth,” the researchers explain in an auxiliary statement.
The scientists surveyed more than 1,000 planets and used a formula that considers planet density, temperature, substrate (liquid, solid or gas), chemistry, distance from its central star and age. From this information, they developed and computed the Biological Complexity Index (BCI).
The BCI calculation revealed that 1 to 2 percent of the planets showed a BCI rating higher than Europa, a moon of Jupiter thought to have a subsurface global ocean that may harbor forms of life. With about 10 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, the BCI yields 100 million plausible planets.
Despite the large number of planets that could harbor complex life, the Milky Way is so vast that planets with high BCI values are very far apart, according to the scientists. One of the closest and most promising extrasolar systems, called Gliese 581, has two planets with the apparent, possible capacity to host complex biospheres. The distance from Earth to Gliese 581 is about 20 light years.
“It seems highly unlikely that we are alone,” say the researchers. “We are likely so far away from life at our level of complexity that a meeting with such alien forms might be improbable for the foreseeable future.”
The research, “Assessing the Possibility of Biological Complexity on Other Worlds, With an Estimate of the Occurrence of Complex Life in the Milky Way Galaxy,” in Challenges, received no external funding.

The Man in the Moon appeared when meteoroids struck Earth-facing side of the moon creating large flat seas of basalt that we see as dark areas called maria. But no “face” exists on farside of the moon and now, Penn State astrophysicists think they know why.
“I remember the first time I saw a globe of the moon as a boy, being struck by how different the farside looks,” said Jason Wright, assistant professor of astrophysics. “It was all mountains and craters. Where were the maria? It turns out it’s been a mystery since the fifties.”
This mystery is called the Lunar Farside Highlands Problem and dates back to 1959, when the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 transmitted the first images of the “dark” side of the moon back to Earth. It was called the dark side because it was unknown, not because sunlight does not reach it. Researchers immediately noticed that fewer “seas” or maria existed on this portion of the moon that always faces away from Earth.
Wright, Steinn Sigurdsson, professor of astrophysics and Arpita Roy, graduate student in astronomy and astrophysics, and lead author of the study, realized that the absence of maria, which is due to a difference in crustal thickness between the side of the moon we see and the hidden side, is a consequence of how the moon originally formed. The researchers report their results in today’s (June 9) Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The general consensus on the moon’s origin is that it probably formed shortly after Earth and was the result of a Mars-sized object hitting Earth with a glancing, but devastating impact. This Giant Impact Hypothesis suggests that the outer layers of Earth and the object were flung into space and eventually formed the moon.
“Shortly after the giant impact, Earth and the moon were very hot,” said Sigurdsson.
Earth and the impact object did not just melt; parts of them vaporized, creating a disk of rock, magma and vapor around Earth.
“The moon and Earth loomed large in each others skies when they formed, ” said Roy.
The geometry was similar to the rocky exoplanets recently discovered very close to their stars, said Wright. The moon was 10 to 20 times closer to Earth than it is now, and the researchers found that it quickly assumed a tidally locked position with the rotation time of the moon equal to the orbital period of the moon around Earth. The same real estate on the moon has probably always faced Earth ever since. Tidal locking is a product of the gravity of both objects.
The moon, being much smaller than Earth cooled more quickly. Because Earth and the moon were tidally locked from the beginning, the still hot Earth — more than 2500 degrees Celsius — radiated towards the near side of the moon. The far side, away from the boiling Earth, slowly cooled, while Earth-facing side was kept molten creating a temperature gradient between the two halves.
This gradient was important for crustal formation on the moon. The moon’s crust has high concentrations of aluminum and calcium, elements that are very hard to vaporize.
“When rock vapor starts to cool, the very first elements that snow out are aluminum and calcium,” said Sigurdsson.
Aluminum and calcium would have preferentially condensed in the atmosphere of the cold side of the moon because the nearside was still too hot. Thousands to millions of years later, these elements combined with silicates in the moon’s mantle to form plagioclase feldspars, which eventually moved to the surface and formed the moon’s crust, said Roy. The farside crust had more of these minerals and is thicker.
The moon has now completely cooled and is not molten below the surface. Earlier in its history, large meteoroids struck the nearside of the moon and punched through the crust, releasing the vast lakes of basaltic lava that formed the nearside maria that make up the man in the moon. When meteoroids struck the farside of the moon, in most cases the crust was too thick and no magmatic basalt welled up, creating the dark side of the moon with valleys, craters and highlands, but almost no maria.

Ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA hoopt eind juni een 'vliegende schotel' te testen die in de toekomst een bemande reis naar Mars mogelijk moet maken. Dat hebben projectleiders gezegd. De test is al meerdere malen vertraagd door slecht weer.
NASA bereidt de test samen met de Amerikaanse marine voor op het Hawaïaanse eiland Kauai. Harde winden hebben de lancering van het voertuig met een diameter van 33,5 meter al meerdere malen uitgesteld. De ruimtevaartorganisatie heeft al 110 miljoen euro in het project geïnvesteerd.
NASA is er in het verleden al meerdere keren in geslaagd machines zoals de Rovers op Mars te laten landen. Het probleem met de huidige techniek is echter dat hij niet werkt boven een bepaald gewicht. Een bemande missie naar de Rode Planeet zou betekenen dat het ruimtevaartuig veel zwaarder wordt dan bijvoorbeeld de Curiosity, de rover die in 2012 op Mars landde. De atmosfeer op Mars is veel ijler dan die van de aarde, waardoor de huidige technieken niet voor genoeg remkracht zorgen.
Kogelvis De experimentele vliegende schotel is geïnspireerd door de kogelvis. Het voertuig is aan de buitenkant feitelijk een grote ballon, die zich opblaast en ervoor moet zorgen dat een uiteindelijk bemand ruimtevaartuig langzaam neerzijgt op Mars, en zich niet met duizelingwekkende snelheid het oppervlak van de planeet in boort.
NASA wil de SIAD, de Supersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator, in de stratosfeer testen. Daar lijken de omstandigheden het meest op die op Mars. Met een gigantische heliumballon wordt de schotel naar een hoogte van ruim 36,5 kilometer gebracht. Eenmaal daar wordt een raket ingeschakeld om de weg terug naar de aarde in te zetten en de snelheid te bereiken die een bemand ruimteschip zou halen bij een landing op Mars. Als de schotel eenmaal een snelheid van Mach 4 (4900 kilometer per uur) heeft bereikt moet de ballon zich opblazen. Als de test slaagt en het schip voldoende wordt afgeremd kan vervolgens de parachute opengaan.
Het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau NASA plant nog voor dit jaar twee nieuwe missies onder water. Speciaal opgeleide astronauten zullen daarvoor éénmaal negen en éénmaal zeven opeenvolgende dagen doorbrengen in een wetenschappelijk lab ongeveer 20 meter onder het wateroppervlak voor de kust van Florida, zo heeft de NASA meegedeeld.
In het lab zullen experimenten en onderzoeken plaatsvinden, die van nut kunnen zijn voor het leven en het werk van de astronauten in het Internationaal Ruimtestation ISS. "De extreme omgeving onder water benadert het leven in de ruimte zo dicht mogelijk", zei NAS-manager Bill Todd. De missies met de namen "Neemo 18" en "Neemo 19" zijn voor juli en september vastgelegd.
In de Vallei van de Koningen in Egypte is een nieuwe begraafplaats ontdekt. Daarin bevinden zich een vijftigtal mummies. Het zou gaan om prinsen en prinsessen van de achttiende dynastie van de farao's van het Oude Egypte, die leefden tussen 1550 en 1292 voor Christus. De ontdekking werd bekendgemaakt door het Egyptische ministerie van Oudheden.
Volgens een persbericht van het ministerie gaat het om een grote dodenakker met resten van mummies die de familieleden zouden kunnen zijn van de toenmalige heersers, meer bepaald de kinderen van de farao's Toetmoses III en Toetmoses IV van de achttiende dynastie. De archeologische activiteit in dit deel van de Vallei der Koningen wordt uitgevoerd door het Egyptische ministerie van oudheden in samenwerking met een groep experts van de universiteit van Basel in Zwitserland.
Er zijn houten sarcofagen aangetroffen, en dodenmaskers, evenals grafvazen die menselijke stoffelijke overblijfselen bevatten, nadat de lichamen gebalsemd waren. De opschriften op de grafvazen laten toe op zijn minst dertig namen van personen te ontcijferen die in deze dodenakker werden begraven. Het gaat om een aantal prinsessen die totnogtoe onbekend waren in de Egyptologie", zegt Mohamed Ibrahim, minister van Oudheden.
In de Vallei der Koningen ligt ook het graf van de beroemde farao Toetanchamon.
Vissers hebben vanaf de bodem van de Noordzee een menselijk voorhoofd van ongeveer 9.500 jaar oud opgevist. Het is een van de oudste menselijke resten die ooit in of bij Nederland zijn gevonden, stelt de Noord-Hollandse gedeputeerde Elvira Sweet.
Aan het voorhoofd zit nog een stuk schedeldak vast en een stukje van de wenkbrauwboog. Het stuk schedel is van een man, zo is door deskundigen vastgesteld. De prehistorische man heeft waarschijnlijk geleefd op de plek waar de schedel is opgevist, want in die tijd bestond de Noordzee nog niet.
Het schedeldeel is al een poos geleden gevonden, maar vanaf vrijdag te zien in Paviljoen Welgelegen in Haarlem. Vanaf volgend jaar maakt de schedel deel uit van de tentoonstelling in het nieuwe archeologiecentrum van Noord-Holland, Huis van Hilde. Daar wordt het verhaal van de geschiedenis van Noord-Holland verteld vanaf de prehistorie tot en met de Tweede Wereldoorlog.
Scott Waring, author of UFO Sightings Daily, says, “I got a report from a guy in Newfoundland and he found a UFO on Google Earth in the Trout Creek, Montana area. I investigated it and took a few screenshots which revealed something that was not first apparent…there is an alien head sticking out from the UFO! Look carefully at the shading and curvature around the head and you will know its real.”
Date of discovery: June 2014
Location of discovery:Trout Creek, Montana
Source: Email report from LZ to UFO Sightings Daily
Coordinates: 47°51’17.60″N , 115°36’42.60″W
Waring adds, ”I am just blown away that we have real proof of alien with this photo. I thought it was just a UFO, but this head sticking out is proof that not all UFOs are ET drones, but some are controlled and flown by actual aliens. Its a very exciting photo and I really hope you think so too. Know that google deletes all UFOs that I report within 3-6 months. I have reported over 50 and I don’t believe any of them are still there. So please record this UFO on google earth and upload the video to Youtube so others can see it or just copy my video and share it…I’m cool with that. This way the UFO even if it gets deleted will have evidence of it existing in many videos”
Kunnen onze gedachten de structuur van water veranderen?
Kunnen onze gedachten de structuur van water veranderen?
Er wordt steeds meer onderzoek gedaan naar het effect van gedachten op water. De gevolgen van deze onderzoeken kunnen vergaand zijn. Het menselijk lichaam bestaat immers voor een groot deel uit water. We kijken naar enkele studies over dit onderwerp en staan stil bij inzichten die hun oorsprong vinden in de traditionele Chinese geneeskunde.
Masaru Emoto
Dr. Masaru Emoto, oprichter van de IHM Corporation, werd vooral bekend door zijn onderzoek naar het vermeende geheugeneffect van water en de energetische eigenschappen ervan. Emoto doet onderzoek naar water en laat door middel van speciale technieken foto’s maken van ijskristallen.
Hij concludeert dat externe effecten – zoals geluiden en beelden – invloed hebben op de energetische structuur van water en zorgen voor het helende effect dat water heeft op de mens. Emoto stelt dat ijskristallen mooiere vormen hebben wanneer het water waaruit ze gevormd worden is blootgesteld aan vriendelijke woorden of zachte muziek, dan wanneer het wordt blootgesteld aan gescheld, natuurgeweld of dissonante muziek.
Dean Radin
Dean Radin publiceerde in 2008 samen met Emoto een artikel getiteld Effects of Distant Intention on Water Crystal Formation: A Triple-Blind Replication in het Journal of Scientific Exploration. Radin is hoofdwetenschapper van het Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) en heeft verschillende posities bekleed aan de Princeton-universiteit.
Tijdens het onderzoek richtten 2000 mensen uit Oostenrijk en Duitsland drie dagen lang hun aandacht op watermonsters die in een stralingsvrije ruimte in Californië waren geplaatst. Andere monsters waren buiten de ruimte geplaatst en werden gebruikt als controlegroep.
Door middel van speciale technieken werden foto’s gemaakt van de ijskristallen. Er werd gebruikgemaakt van water dat uit verschillende bronnen afkomstig was. Elke foto werd geanalyseerd door ruim 2500 onafhankelijke onderzoekers. Uit het onderzoek kwam naar voren dat intenties de structuur van het water kunnen beïnvloeden.
William Tiller
Professor emeritus William A. Tiller van de Stanford-universiteit schrijft op zijn website dat zijn onderzoeksteam ‘herhaaldelijk in staat is geweest om de zuurgraad van water te laten veranderen’. Er werden geen chemicaliën aan het water toegevoegd, enkel de intentie van de onderzoekers speelde een rol, aldus Tiller.
Traditionele Chinese geneeskunde
Natuurkundige dr. Cheng Luojia vertelde Pure Insight: “Om bijvoorbeeld medicijnen te maken moet je water zorgvuldig kiezen. Volgens de Chinese traditie werd theewater ook zorgvuldig gekozen. Sommige theesoorten moeten met een specifieke soort bronwater worden gezet, sommige moeten worden gezet met sneeuw van pruimbloesems en andere met water uit een bepaald deel van een bepaalde rivier.”
“Als we altijd prettige gedachten hebben, zullen we ons lichaam reinigen, en dus mooi en gezond worden,” ging hij verder. “Als we altijd prettige gedachten hebben reinigen we ook de omgeving en de mensen om ons heen. Onze aangename gedachten kunnen alles in deze wereld verbeteren. Als iedereen dat zag, zou dat een immense invloed hebben op de wereld.”
Een Chinees spreekwoord zegt: “Water is een spiegel van het hart.”
Filer’s Files #24 – 2014 – Aliens may live on Space Ships - PART I
Filer’s Files #24 – 2014 – Aliens may live on Space Ships - PART I
June 11, 2014
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Secretary of State Cordell Hull Saw Aliens, Aliens May Live on Space Ships, Texas Humanoid, Angles and Demons Spiritual Natural Selection, and Sun Erupts with 3rd Huge Solar Flare in 2 Days. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, Alabama, California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Romania, South Africa, and England in the United Kingdom. The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.
Washington D.C. -- William E. Jones Ohio MUFON reports, “This information has recently been given to researchers by descendants of Secretary of State Cordell Hull who was the longest serving Secretary of State. He held the position for 11 years (1933–1944) in the administration of President Franklin Roosevelt and during much of World War II. Hull received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945 for his role in establishing the United Nations, and was referred to by President Roosevelt as the "Father of the United Nations". He told his family he saw four large glass-like jars holding four creatures and a wrecked round craft of some kind being kept in a subbasement in the US Capitol building in 1939. He described the creatures as less than four feet tall and the object as being silvery metallic in nature. The object appeared to have been taken apart in pieces. The color of the material was of a color that he had never seen before, but for the lack of a better word he used “silver”. It seems to indicate that the US Government had already recovered crashed “aliens” before 1947. There are other reports from other countries such as Italy indicating that such recoveries had been made in the 1930’s and early 40’s.
Aliens May Live on Space Ships
The late Sam Sherman the president of Independent International Pictures writes, "Where do Aliens come from? When interviewed for my still-unreleased film- "Beyond This Earth".
Astronaut Col. Gordon Cooper spoke about one reported instance where: "Aliens were living on their ships, as they had lost their sun in their own solar system". A possible hypothesis may be that some ET groups live on large ships or space platforms, as has been reported, not on planetary bodies, and these huge craft loop in and around our planet. Further they send out smaller scout craft for missions to Earth to obtain entertainment, food, water, and minerals. They may have traveled great distances here over decades for hundreds of years and their huge ships serve as replacement for planets. Thanks to Sam Sherman. Deputy Head of the Department of Astronomy at the University of Arizona, Chris Impey, states, “Based on recent data, he estimated there could be some 100 million habitable planets in the Milky Way alone.” Editor's Notes: With Earth’s population growing so quickly NASA seriously considered developing a city in space. The concept and artist's drawing is contained in Ernest Jahn's and Margaret Sachs book "Celestial Passengers UFO's and Space Travel." A space colony habitat was designed by NASA Ames Research Center to carry several hundred thousand people. The space habitat would be 16 miles long by four miles wide and have its own atmosphere and clouds. Only 2% of the materials would come from Earth, the remaining 98% would come from the moon. Not only does the moon yield an abundant supply of substances such as aluminum, concrete, soil, oxygen, and water, but lifting the materials off the moon will require twentieth of the energy needed to lift them off Earth, because the Moon has a much weaker gravitational pull. We have to remember that Earth also is a spaceship. On Earth there are dangers in the form of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and tornadoes. If aliens were living not too far from Earth in space they may have a short ride to visit us. The dark eyes often described by abductees may be permanent eyeglasses to protect sensitive eyes from the glare of our powerful sun or the bright light created by their propulsion systems.
It happens there are five places in space (L-1 thru L-5) known as Lagrangian Libration Points where a space ship can stay with little if any energy needed. L-4 and L-5 are particularly well balanced where the gravitational and centrifugal forces of the Earth and Moon cancel each other out. Any object within one of these roughly spherical areas would remain orbiting around the Earth just as our Moon does. This is roughly a 60 degree angle in front and behind the moon essentially along its orbital path. Astronomers may wish to examine that portion of the sky to see if any small moonlets or space ships are orbiting our Earth.
Texas Humanoid
Lucas – Humanoid ResearcherAlbert Rosales writes, 19-year old Dallas Adams was pumping gas into his car at a local convenience store in early July 2010. A man and his son stood at the pump opposite Adams, a woman at her car was behind him. When the gas nozzle clicked, Adams placed it back into the pump and went inside the store. Things were different when he came out. “There was no line in the gas station,” Adams said “I bought cigarettes and walked out but when I came out my car was the only one there. I had only been in the gas station for maybe two and a half minutes. As soon as I noticed everyone was gone I felt scared but couldn’t figure out why.”
Then he saw a strange man standing by his car. As Adams walked by him, he noticed an odor as if the man had not showered in weeks. “He looked like an average guy but when I looked at him I felt scared, like my life was about to end,” Adams said. “I went to my car and looked at him---he was staring at me.” The possible alien who looked like this photo came closer to Adams as he stood at the driver’s side door, walking in long steps. “I need a ride,” the humanoid said, the force in his voice striking Adams like something physical. “It scared me to death,” Adams said, “I said, ‘what?’ And he said, ‘give me a ride.’ Then Adams saw what frightened him. “His eyes were completely black. No whites, no nothing, just black,” Adams said, “When I was talking to this thing I could smell its breath, which was horrible.” Adams worked up the courage to ask where the black-eyed man wanted to go. The man simply replied, “Just give me a ride.” I said, “I am sorry, I can’t, and then he took a few steps toward me,” Adams said, “His walk was kind of odd, but stopped as this conversation was happening.” But what terrified Adams were the man’s eyes. “I couldn’t take my eyes off of his,” Adams said. “It was like they were sucking me in.” As Adams stood, watching the strange man with the black eyes approach him, something broke whatever held Adam’s gaze and he hopped into his car and sped away.

Albert Rosales writes, “I always felt that the study of the "humanoids” was more important than any other study. I am currently engaged in attempting to catalog most reported encounters with humanoids, entities, beings, little men, giants, MIB, creatures, amphibians, reptilians, grays etc. So far I have over 10,000 cases in my files, many known, many not so well known. I have translated many from all corners of the globe. I think this study is vital for future researchers and for UFO historians.”http://www.ufoinfo.com/humanoid/
Angles and Demons Spiritual Natural Selection Chapter Two
Paranormal researcher Joshua P. Warren writes, “If we strip away all the noise, and look at life from the most objective and clinical point of view, all living things consume energy.” Each breath of air you take, or sip of liquid, each gulp of food; every time you push a gas pedal or turn a switch on, you are consuming energy. Therefore, we shall use this as a guideline for how all living things could, or can, exist.
Since angels and demons are living things. We know that natural selection exists. We can watch it happening every day. The reason we must constantly update vaccines is that harmful germs continue to strengthen. The few strong ones that are able to fend off a vaccine survive to pass along their strong genes, eventually creating a stronger generation of germs. The new vaccines must be formed to combat their evolution. This same on-going struggle is seen between insects that devour crops, and the insecticides used to keep them at bay. And the process works even more simply with obvious traits. There are few dark-colored creatures in snowy regions because they stand out more against the background, making themselves easily-targeted prey for predators. Therefore, their genes do not get passed along. In the world of rational thinkers, natural selection is an obvious fact of life. However, it seems logical that this basic system would also function throughout all forms of life, including those that are primarily non-physical to us. And so, spiritual natural selection must exist, as well. Thus, where do humans fall in the lineup? If we look at humans as spiritual beings, in addition to their mere physical shells, we gain a clearer idea of how the spirit has evolved, and will continue to do so. For clues on how this evolution transpired, let us look back at the physical world of organisms.
Animals are desperate to survive, and so they thoughtlessly consume. This is why a lion might eat every gazelle on his plain with delight, only to find there are eventually no more left to reproduce and maintain his food supply. At that point, the lion may starve. Similarly, a dog might wolf down a chunk of meat in an alleyway, only to be poisoned and die. This approach to survival is limited in sight, providing the sense of immediate fulfillment, but at the risk of long-term survival. This is an unenlightened way of consuming. On the other hand, humans have learned to tend to their food supply. We try to protect the populations we eat, ensuring that cattle and fish reproduce to maintain what is needed. We try to limit how much we take from a land to retain its ability to grow more crops. And we work together, through advanced communication and complex societies striving to ensure that food is prepared and served in a safe and healthy fashion. This is why humans have generally and consistently lived longer, healthier lives as the ages have progressed. So let us apply these two models to spiritual evolution. A less-evolved spiritual creature would be one that consumes selfishly and stupidly. A more-evolved spiritual creature would be one that has understood a valuable lesson about how the universe works: the more you give, the more you receive. It can also be broken down into demons and angels, with human’s right in the middle of the ladder. www.joshuapwarren.com
Sun Erupts with 3rd Huge Solar Flare in 2 Days
The sun is hitting its stride. Earth's closest star shot off yet another powerful solar flare today (June 11) after producing a pair of major solar storms Tuesday. The X1-class flare reached its peak at 5:06 a.m. EDT (0906 GMT) and came from Region 2087 near the southeastern limb of the sun's disk, the same region of the star that produced the two powerful solar flares yesterday. NASA captured an amazing video of the X1 solar flare using its space-based Solar Dynamics Observatory. Wednesday’s solar tempest did cause a brief radio blackout on Earth, but officials with the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center based in Boulder, Colorado. These three flares bring the total number of documented X-flares unleashed by the sun in 2014 to eight. Scientists have discovered new evidence that lightning on Earth is triggered by energetic particles from the Sun. Thanks to http://news.yahoo.com
UFO Sightings
May 2014 saw a total of 770 UFO sightings reported to MUFON from around the world. National Reporting Center also had 607 sightings in May.
