Russian Scientist Claims That Around 200 YETIS are Living in Siberia

Professor claims scientific tests, such as DNA  checks, prove hair samples from remote cave belonged to human-like mammal  unknown to man

 

A row has erupted in Russia over a biological  scientist’s claim that some 200 Yeti live in a large area of southern  Siberia.

Professor Valentin Sapunov has  infuriated  academics with his assertion that scientific tests, including  DNA checks, found  that hair samples from a remote cave belonged to a  human-like mammal unknown to  man.

Now he has gone further by claiming a population of 200 Yeti exist in the forested Kemerovo, Khakassia and  Altai  regions of Siberia.

This number allows them to successfully  reproduce, said the academic from the Russian State HydroMeteorological  University.

‘He claims there have been no  confirmed  sightings of the Yeti because they have an acute sense of  danger,’ reported the  Siberian Times.

But other Russian experts are deeply  unimpressed by Professor Sapunov’s theories, saying he has put his Big Foot in  it  with claims that there is DNA backing for the existence of the  Yeti.

Far from finding the Abonimable  Snowman, his  scientific claims on the subject amount to abominable  lies, Oleg Pugachev,  director of the Zoological Institute of Russian  Academy of Science, told  state-run newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

 

This institute was one of three where  Professor Sapunov claimed the ‘Yeti hair’ – found a year ago – was  tested.

Ook de slimste man aller tijden had niet altijd gelijk

Albert Einstein. © ap.

Albert Einstein staat wel bekend als de slimste mens die ooit op aarde zou hebben rondgelopen. Toch blijkt hij vooral ook een man van vlees en bloed te zijn geweest. Naar nu pas bekend is geworden heeft ooit een 23-jarige student van de meester een rekenfout in zijn werk ontdekt. Een fout die Einstein ook heeft toegegeven, zij het pas in tweede instantie.

Ongedateerde foto van Herbert Salzer. © Onbekend.

De toen 23 jaar oude natuurkundestudent Herbert Salzer schreef het genie in 1938, vanwege zijn afstudeeropdracht, een brief, waarin hij de fout beschreef. Het zou gaan om fout in een vergelijkingsberekening.

Einstein schreef de student een zeer uitgebreide brief terug, waarin hij de fout verwierp. Hij ondertekende de brief met 'Met achting en respect, Albert Einstein.

Toegegeven
Salzer leek zich bij het oordeel van Einstein neer te leggen, maar kreeg twee weken later tot zijn grote verrassing nog een brief van Einstein waarin hij de fout alsnog toegaf. Einstein gaf Salzer alle krediet voor het bemerken van zijn fout. Het is voor zover bekend de enige keer dat een collega een fout in het werk van Einstein aantoonde.

Salzer zou zich later ontwikkelen tot een zeer gewaardeerd natuurkundige en universitair docent met ruim 100 publicaties op zijn naam. Hij stierf in 2006 op 91-jarige leeftijd. De briefwisseling wordt deze week in New York geveild. Naar verwachting levert het wetenschappelijke schrijfwerk zo'n 50.000 dollar op.

The Billy Meier UFO Case: Now You Can Prove It to Yourself

(Before It's News)

WCUFO extended cupola

(See more about the extended cupola here.)

It’s been many years since numerous scientific experts authenticated Billy Meier’s UFO photographs, films, sound recordings and metal samples. Nonetheless, many people have neither understood, nor accepted, the validity and significance of these findings.

Their skeptical cry for access to now long gone negatives, etc., has been used to try to cast doubt on the evidence, as well as the honesty and character of Meier and all concerned. Such accusations and demands were part of the subterfuge employed, usually by the most technically incompetent people, who were essentially claiming that if they themselves hadn’t personally analyzed the evidence it must be hoaxed. Of course this attitude invalidates accepting as true most of…human history, since none of us have personally witnessed, observed, or tested more than 99% of it.

This skeptical tactic has been parroted and echoed by every online armchair expert for whom the reality of the Meier case is simply too threatening to their belief systems.

Quite recently, Rhal Zahi provided new authentication of 63 of Meier’s most controversial photographs and five-minute video of the WCUFO, from 1981, using state-of-the-art technology. He also authenticated Meier’s first 8mm film of the so-called “Pendulum UFO”, from 1975, which reveals two instances of the craft “jumping”, i.e. actually appearing in two separate places within one frame of film!

Many people who’ve taken the time to examine and think through the evidence also realized for themselves that Meier’s 8mm film of the Hasenböl UFO with two lights flashing in broad daylight, from 1976, was certainly no clever, remote controlled model. Similarly, a film interview of Meier, by NTV (Nippon TV), showing Meier and the film director walking up to the tree immortalized in the famous “Sunlight UFO” photographs also taken at Hasenböl, easily settled the authenticity of that photographic evidence. Add to the amazing photographs the one of the cross in the sky, taken in India in 1964 with an old Kodak bellows camera, as well as UFO photos taken by other witnesses, including a Swiss skeptic, and mountains of other information and one may just recognize the genuineness and authenticity of the Meier case.

However, Rhal Zahi authenticated another one of the WCUFO photos that skeptics long accused of being just a model against a black curtain. Remembering that Meier took these 35mm photos in 1981, long before home computers, digital effects, PhotoShop, etc., and that he never drew any attention to them himself, this one simple result is not only amazing in itself but it can easily be duplicated by anyone, by…you, right at your own computer. No longer will the disingenuous cries for negatives of the original photos carry even the slightest weight or concern. After all, even if negatives were presented at this time, only a relatively few people would have the technical ability to authenticate them themselves, so once again we’d have to rely on outside expert analysis and opinion.

Now, in keeping with the theme of self-responsibility at the core of the Meier case, any and all of us who want to see the truth come alive before our very eyes, the truth that was hidden in plain sight for over 32 years, only have to do what Zahi himself did – put the photo (which you can grab off of this page) into PhotoShop and increase the brightness and contrast. You will find yourself looking down from above the WCUFO at a road next to a grassy path, etc.:

(See more about the extended cupola here.)

WCUFO with Halo

Only the most desperate, intellectually dishonest skeptics (am I repeating myself?) would be dwelling so deeply in denial as to not consider and admit that there is absolutely no likelihood that Meier somehow figured out, more than three decades ago, how to “trick” 21^st century technology, that hadn’t been invented yet, into revealing that which wasn’t apparent on a 35mm 35mm film photograph.

While I maintain that the even “higher standard of proof” is in Meier’s voluminous, prophetically accurate, scientific information (of which you’ll find plenty on this blog as well as here) being able to authenticate Meier’s WCUFO photos yourself should be sufficient to end any doubts about their authenticity and Meier’s truthfulness, once and for all.

Of course, now that you know the truth about the most important true story in all of science and human history…what will you do about it?

SCOTLAND’S FALKIRK TRIANGLE IS THE UFO CAPITOL OF THE WORLD

(Before It's News)

2014 BONNYBRIDGE SCOTLAND

Bonnybridge has become the UFO capital of the world with more than 300 sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects reported above the town every year.  It is a small town in the heart of central Scotland. But Bonnybridge has earned its place in the unexplained history books along with Roswell, in New Mexico, and even the Bermuda Triangle.  Councillor Billy Buchanan says so many residents come to him with concerns about what is happening in the town’s skies that he has appealed to three prime ministers – David Cameron, Tony Blair and John Major – to order an urgent investigation.  As yet no official investigation we know of is underway.  The Ministry of Defence say they are “satisfied that there is no evidence that the United Kingdom’s airspace might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised foreign military activity.” 

 But mysterious sightings in the area known as the Falkirk Triangle, which branches from Bonnybridge to Stirling and Fife, continue. Everything from space ships landing to mysterious balls of light have been reported.  Some unexplained sightings have even been caught on film.  Publicity concerning the sightings started in 1992 when businessman James Walker said he noticed some strange lights in the sky while driving home.  At first, he thought they were stars but was startled when he saw them move and assumed a triangle shape. Around the same time, the Sloggett family reported one of the most extraordinary sightings from the UFO hot spot.  They claimed to have been walking towards Bonnybridge at around 7 pm on a clear March evening when they saw a circle of light ahead of them.  They said the light appeared to land in a nearby field. The family continued on their journey, but say they were stopped by a football-sized blue light hovering above the road ahead of them.  Later, Isabella Sloggett said: “My daughter Carole and I saw a UFO land right in front of us. A door opened and there was a howl-like sound.  “I screamed and ran off terrified.”  Since then, further UFO sightings from this alleged portal to another dimension have come thick and fast. Several people who live near Bonnybridge have separately filmed what appears to be strange white objects hovering in the sky.  NOTE: The above image is a rendering

A Few Historical Ufology Anomalies

(Before It's News)

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.

Daily 2 Cents: Dracula’s Tomb Discovered — Abduction / Medical Examination — Decipher Ouija Board Experience

(Before It's News)

Dracula’s Tomb Discovered

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.

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

Abduction / Medical Examination

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

Decipher Ouija Board Experience

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

"A Clear Demonstration Of The Consequences Of Ridiculing Honest UFO Witnesses"

Doctor, What Is Wrong With Me? Mr. Washington Post, You Are Suffering From The David Susskind Syndrome

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

(Before It's News)

(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

(Before It's News)

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.

Milky Way may bear 100 million life-giving planets

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.

55-year old dark side of the moon mystery solved

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.
