According to the site In Other Newz, Nippon Television reported December 5th that “an Unidentified Flying Object, a UFO, went down off the coast of Okinawa, an island at the southern tip of Japan. Several news crews, along with police and emergency vehicles, rushed to the scene just in time to see the UFO sink into the water, according to multiple sources.”
UFO photo purportedly released by Japanese Navy
Japanese Navy officials have released the first ever photo of the UFO that crashed off the coast of Okinawa yesterday. The photo appears grainy and somewhat unclear since the vessel is submerged underwater but clearly shows a power source still glowing brightly atop the aircraft’s dome.
“We wanted to release this photo to the world and confirm the reports issued yesterday,” said Japanese Navy spokesman Yoshido Hari. “This picture will give credence to what some of our citizens living on Okinawa witnessed yesterday. We clearly still have many days of salvaging ahead of us but we will take our time and bring the aircraft up in one piece. We must preserve the object as much as possible.”
Numerous reports began to circulate around the globe yesterday about a possible UFO crash off the coast of Okinawa. Many people, including the mainstream media, believed the reports to be false or an elaborate prank. The picture snapped by Japanese Navy divers will put those thoughts of falsity to rest.
“This is not a joke,” said Hari, speaking candidly to reporters. “We have clear evidence at the bottom of the ocean that indicates UFO presence. What the world once thought virtually impossible is now a reality. It is up to us to preserve that reality in order to study the structure of the vessel and perhaps even the alien lifeforms inhabiting it.”
Several scientists from the United States have already been dispatched by the U.S. government and will arrive in Tokyo sometime today. It is unclear, however, if the vessel will be moved to the capital city for further study and research or if it will remain housed in a hangar on Okinawa.
“At this early junction, we can’t say for sure where we will be conducting our studies,” said Hari. “Our main objective at the moment is salvaging the giant aircraft in one piece. We must get it out of the water before saltwater eats away critical pieces. Obviously, keeping the structure intact would be optimal.”
Asked if the Japanese Navy had any intentions of releasing future photos of the downed UFO, Hari commented, “At this time we have no other photos to release. The water is somewhat murky and the picture released to the world this morning is the best quality available at this time. We will try to produce other photos of the vessel as conditions improve.”
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda is expected to arrive on the small island sometime tomorrow to speak with Navy representatives regarding the salvaging of the UFO. Needless to say, the Japanese government has a huge interest in preserving the aircraft as it will be used for future research endeavors.
It was a good story and well written but unfortunately is not true. No Japanese news sources are reporting the event. the originating site InOtherNewz.com admits it is completely made up, but that hasen’t stopped the story from going viral.
What appears to be a pink-colored UFO hovering in the sky in these Google street view images of Jacksonville, Texas is suspiciously similar to the UFO photo allegedly released by the Japanese Navy. Do the images below offer confirmation of the story or confirmation of a hoax?
Another view of the pink UFO seen on the Google street cam.
The story of the sunken UFO is appearing at many UFO sites from only from In Other Newz, but not in Japanese print media. A search of YouTube while turning up videos of recent UFO sightings in Japan, shows no evidence of a UFO crash in Okinawa.

At Least 4 Known Alien Species Have Been Visiting Earth For Thousands Of Years” Ex Canadian Defense Minister Continues To Blow The Whistle (Video)
At Least 4 Known Alien Species Have Been Visiting Earth For Thousands Of Years” Ex Canadian Defense Minister Continues To Blow The Whistle (Video)
I am well aware that just because somebody (no matter what their ‘position’) says something to be true, does not mean it’s true. Exceptions, however can be made if there is evidence that goes beyond their words and correlates with what they say. At the end of the day, you have to listen to what your heart tells you.
Paul Hellyer was the Canadian Minister of National Defense in the 1960′s during the cold war. He was responsible for combining the Canadian Air Force, Navy and Army into what is known today as the Canadian Forces. He was the highest ranking person (on paper) inside of the Department of Defense for Canada. The Honorable Paul Hellyer is the highest ranking person among all g8 countries to openly speak about UFOs and extraterrestrials.
He has been speaking about UFOs and extraterrestrials for quite some time now, and he recently made an appearance on RT news stating that there are at least 4 known alien species that have been visiting Earth for thousands of years.
Upon retirement, Hellyer began to blow the whistle on UFOs and extraterrestrials. His testimony is backed up by hundreds of other high ranking military and political personnel all over the world, including official documents released by dozens of governments worldwide that have officially acknowledged the presence of UFOs.
I think it’s also important to point out that the Canadian government recently acknowledged the fact that various federal agencies, including Transport Canada, the RCMP and the Department of National Defence used to track and investigate UFO sightings. (1) They claim to have stopped those programs, but that contradicts the defence minister’s (Hellyer) claims. There is good reason to believe, and a lot of evidence to suggest that some of these UFOs are indeed extraterrestrial space craft (not all military), and the activities of the agencies responsible for these programs goes far beyond just tracking of UFOs, but into contact with various extraterrestrial races, other classified technological developments and more.
Here is some of what Paul Hellyer has to say, for more you can watch the video clip below:
“In one of the cases during the cold war, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying South from Russia across Europe. The supreme allied commander was very concerned and was about ready to press the panic button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole. They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for three years and they decided that with absolute certainty that four different species, at least, have been visiting this planet for thousands of years. There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially since we invented the atomic bomb. They are very concerned about that and if we will use it again, because the whole cosmos is a unity and it affects not just us but other people in the cosmos. They’re very much afraid that we might start using atomic weapons again and this would be very bad for us, and them also.” – Paul Hellyer
“Many are benign and benevolent, and a few are not. They come from various places, for a long while I only knew about ones that came from different star systems, the Pleadies. There are extraterrestrials that come from Andromeda, and ones that live on one of Saturn’s moon’s. There is a federation of these people, and they have rules, one of them is that they don’t interfere with our affairs unless they are invited. They have accepted the fact that this is our planet, and we have the right to run it but they are very concerned, they don’t think that we are good stewards of our planet. We are ruining our planet, we’re doing all sorts of things that we shouldn’t be doing, and they don’t like that. They’ve made it clear, and they have given us a warning.” – Paul Hellyer
“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. It is ironic that the US should be fighting monstrously expensive wars, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.” – Paul Hellyer
Stan Deyo Antigravity Stan Deyo has held Above Top Secret Security Clearance and worked undercover for the FBI. He was part of an exclusive "black project", headed by Dr. Edward Teller specializing in the development of "flying saucer technology".
Free Energy - Unlimited Power Stan trained in computer programming at IBM. Stan's main love is still advanced propulsion and "free" energy research which took him to Australia in '71 to work on these systems.
Magnetic Propulsion - Government UFO Cover Up Currently Stan is working on a Tesla-based energy system, several propulsion projects and is a public lecturer on world events.
Topics covered include: The coming global economic collapse / Developing solar-related crises in the Earth's climate
The "UFO Deception and its real intent / Suppression of badly needed technologies
The coming destruction of America by civil war followed by foreign invasion
High voltage physics of cheaper energy / The New World Order from the perspective of a former FBI 'spy."
In this Stan Deyo lecture is the history of alternative energy breakthroughs, Edward Teller's covert technological development program, the mathematical equations used in the advanced physics as well as in-depth information and slides demonstrating 'anti-gravity', the effort used in the 50s to try to get scientists to think outside the box, as well as the multinationalist's "N.W.O." agenda utilizing "U.F.O." technology and their reasons for doing so.
Magnetism - Antigravity Technology Stan Deyo describes spin and antigravity effects in detail, and provides a thorough construction plan for how to build a coil apparatus to generate antigravity effects based on his past experience with secret government black projects.
"Space/time can be altered by putting mass inside a dynamic EM field created by two pulsed, DC, toroidal coils which act as a "flux capacitor" (Faraday's dream). A charge capacitor by definition can be static (qq'/s); however as flux is a function of current which is moving or dynamic charge, the flux capacitor has to be a dynamic circuit which stores the energy (qq's/t). To do this, the current must be added into a chase-tail circuit whereby the layers of the field stack one upon the other to form a field in motion.
Inside this field in a small craft of about 30-feet diameter, one will experience a peculiar distortion of space/time. This occurs when the field inside the craft is "pumped up" so that the energy density of the space inside the field is much greater than that of normal space here on the Earth's surface. The higher the energy density the more time is dilated so that time in the field occurs at a slower rate to that outside the field. If the energy density is lowered then the converse is true." - Stan Deyo
UFO mania: Nepal: Frozen Caveman Discovered in Himalaya
UFO mania: Nepal: Frozen Caveman Discovered in Himalaya
Pokhara| A group of climbers on an expedition in the Himalaya Mountains, have stumbled upon a complexe of caverns that seem to have recently surfaced after a series of violent avalanches in the region. Inside one of the caves, the team of Norwegian and Swedish mountaineers, found the remains of a humanoid male from the paleolithic era.
According to the primary analysis of the skeleton, it seems the bones belong to an adult male Homo habilis, which is believed to have lived from approximately 2.33 to 1.44 million years ago, during the Gelasian Pleistocene period. Further tests and analysis will be done to determine the exact nature of the remains, their age, and the individual’s cause of death. A crude stone spear and a few badly damaged leather objects were also recovered on the site and are currently being studied.
According to some experts, this could be by far the oldest sign of human life ever found in the region, dating possibly millions of years. Others seem to believe that the man was part of a small group that long-outlived the extinction of the majority of his species. Whatever the results of the carbon dating test, this opens a whole new interpretation of generally accepted views of the colonization of the planet by the human species. According to most widely accepted theories on the subject, Homo habilis isn’t normally believed to have travelled this far from Africa and lived in such hostile climates.
The remains of the man seem extremely well preserved considering their age, a miracle due to to the very constant and extremely cold temperature of the area, that would have kept his body constantly covered in ice for milleniums. They were discovered in a large cave, part of of a complexe of at least 65 separates cavities of varying sizes, that could have been a prehistoric settlement. A thorough search of the site could reveal many more artefacts and possibly other human and animal remains, but unfortunately the hostility of the climatic conditions and the remoteness of its location will certainly pose a lot of logistic and organizational problems for the preparation of a scientific expedition.

Veelkleurige UFO's vliegen in formatie boven Oostenrijk
Veelkleurige UFO’s vliegen in formatie boven Oostenrijk
Tientallen Oostenrijkers hebben zo’n 50 tot 100 ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten gezien die in formatie door de lucht vlogen. De autoriteiten hebben geen verklaring voor de waarneming.
Het incident gebeurde boven Aichfeld in de omgeving van de stad Knittelfeld in de Zuid-Oostenrijkse deelstaat Stiermarken. Jürgen Trieb (41) en zijn vriendin Waltraud Kaliba (40) wisten bovenstaande foto te maken voordat de objecten wegschoten.
“Eerst dachten we dat het misschien een natuurlijk fenomeen was, maar toen we beseften dat ze in formatie vlogen en snelheden van meer dan 600 kilometer per uur bereikten, was het duidelijk dat het niet kon worden afgedaan als iets natuurlijks,” zei Waltraud. “Het vreemde was dat de objecten ondanks de felle lichten geen enkel geluid voortbrachten.”
Lokale media berichtten dat de objecten op de foto door meerdere mensen zijn gezien. Er waren tussen de 50 en 100 objecten die in formatie door de lucht vlogen.
Oostenrijkse luchtverkeerstorens zeiden op de hoogte te zijn gebracht van het incident. Ze verdiepen zich in de kwestie, maar willen op dit moment verder geen uitspraken doen. Wel bevestigden ze dat er geen aanwijzingen zijn dat de foto of de waarnemingen nep zijn.
In Aichfeld worden vaker UFO’s en mysterieuze atmosferische fenomenen waargenomen. Wetenschappers en ufologen hebben hier vooralsnog geen verklaring voor.
Austrian officials say they are baffled to explain a UFO sighting in which dozens of people reported seeing between 50 and 100 objects flying in formation.
The incident happened over the Aichfeld basin near the city of Knittelfeld in the southern Austrian state of Styria where eyewitness Juergen Trieb, 41, and his girlfriend Waltraud Kaliba, 40, managed to take this snap before the high speed objects vanished.
Waltraud said: "At first we thought it might be some kind of natural phenomenon, but when we realise they were flying in formation and travelling around 400 mph it was clear that it could not be dismissed as something natural. The strange thing was that despite the bright lights there was no noise at all from the objects."
Local media reported that the images as taken in this snap were seen by several people, and that there were between 50 and 100 of them all flying silently and in formation.
Austrian air traffic controllers said that they had been made aware of the incident and were looking into it, but declined to comment at this stage. But they confirmed there was no indication that the photo or the reported sightings were a fake.
The area over the Aichfeld basin however has been a hot spot for UFO sightings and mysterious atmospheric phenomena, although neither scientists nor UFO watchers have offered an explanation as to why.

The witness was alone at home meditating when she suddenly found herself transported to her backyard. A silvery disc-shaped craft then approached from the mountains and began hovering nearby. From under the object a tall human-like figure emerged, the being floated towards the witness. The figure was described as having fair white skin and blond shoulder lengthhair. He wore a white uniform with a bright red belt and red gloves and boots. He approached the witness and extended his hand. The witness attempted to run but the being grabbed her by the arm and held her. Four needles now emerged from the man’s glove and were inserted into her arm. She then felt powerless and “controlled.” She was taken to where the object hovered and was told telepathically that “they” would return to contact her again. She was then taken back to the house and released.

Time: 23:20
A chemical worker, Leonardo, who lives in Codroipo, was returning from Palmanova to Codroipo late at night when he arrived at the new roundabout at Mortegliano. There were several cars parked there. The young man exited his vehicle and saw a strange creature walking along the road. The creature was very tall, perhaps close to four meters in height (11 feet). The witness grabbed a flashlight and shone it on… the creature he saw the back of the creature and noticed on the back of its legs what resembled ‘a tangle of tendons’. His head had a rounded shape and cone-shaped on top. He tried to use his cell phone to call and take pictures but it was useless. The creature walked down the street oblivious of the cars. The witness saw a car with a family in which the mother was trying to conceal her two children from the creature. The creature eventually disappeared into the darkness.

Location: Near Marcia-Cansiglio, Belluno, Italy Date: April 7 2012
Time: 23:00
A resident from nearby Alpago while on his travelling along the SP 61 road near an old closed military installation called site G, had to stop his vehicle in the middle of the road when he noticed a huge humanoid figure, at least 3 meters in height walking on the side of the road in his direction. The figure had “gnarled legs”, long arms, a round head and round luminous bluish eyes. He drove on and reported the incident to the local Carabinieri.
In 1961, some rock hounds went out poking around for geodes and such in the Olancha, California. While opening up a geode, one of the rock collectors was amazed. There was a man-made object within and the geode was aged at about 500,000 years.
The find was under much criticism because it was reportedly examined by a geologist (unnamed) who proclaimed the geode was 500,000 years old (no report filed). Ron Calais, a creationist, was allowed to photograph and x-ray the item. It appeared to have a corroded piece of metal in a coil shape with a porcelain shape. Oddly, the whereabouts of the item are unknown. One of the finders has deceased, one is missing and one is still alive, but will not speak about it. Of all the talk going back and forth about this find and conjecture, an ancient spark plug seems to be the one most often bantered about. The porcelain is seen as an insulator. Porcelain Insulators
Power lines and other electrified wires transmit high-voltage electrical energy along suspended wires. While the wires themselves typically contain no insulation, certain spots along the electrified wires require insulation. For example, insulators are required in places where the live electrical wires come into contact with the poles that support them, and where they come into contact with buildings. Since insulators do not respond to electrical fields, they can go a long way in preventing fires and electrical failure.
Porcelain insulators typically contain large concentrations of some other mineral like alumina or clay. The combination of porcelain and other minerals allows electricity to pass without reacting with nearby electrical conductors. This not only ensures greater safety, but enables the electricity to pass without losing any of its charge. Since porcelain does not conduct electricity, especially when combined with other non-conductive materials, it makes the ideal material for insulators.
The coil brings to mind these numerous metal tiny spirals found in Russia.
As we have been told that man did not have knowledge of technology because he seemed to have “forgotten” the knowledge of building megaliths or making batteries, we are stuck in that rut that is, unfortunately, common beliefs in archaeology and anthropology.
Yes, man did not have that knowledge, at least not homo sapiens, but what of an earlier evolved intelligent race of humankind? They had the knowledge. They went away. Homo sapiens aped it or tried to retro-engineer or simply didn't understand its uses and did not evolve to such knowledge until thousands of years later.
Baghdad battery: The components were found in Mesopotamia dating back to about 250 BCE (before common era, or in other words, BC). Ironically, archaeologists generally dismiss this concept that these components were for a battery and many point to “Chariots of the Gods” and “pseudoarchaeology” as being incorrect. It would seem that OPART (out of place/out of time) objects are still the bane of archaeologists' existence.
These items included a terra cotta pot (remember above the underlined and bolded necessary ingredient for insulation – clay?), a copper cylinder with an iron rod inside. The jar would bulge outward toward the middle and the cylinder/rod iron would fit tightly into the opening. It would be allowed to be exposed to the elements and corrode and then an acidic component would be added to create current, such as lemon juice or vinegar.
To support this theory, gold-plated objects found in the Middle East shows signs of electroplating. This has also been disputed as being fire-plated using mercury. Around and around the concept of ancient electricity goes, always stopped at the foot of archaeologists and anthropologists who do not want to cause any disruption in commonly accepted concepts in their field.
It seems this could be cleared up neatly if one made a homemade battery as was found in the Baghdad area and try electroplating something with gold. Then, try doing it utilizing mercury and fire plating. Compare to the artifact. Hmmm
Was this (below) and Egyptian light bulb? Were the pyramids piezoelectric-creating powerhouses?
It is believed the pyramids are giant capacitors, constructed to make use of piezoelectricity in these stone buildings that come to a singular point. With a solid gold tip (conductor) at the top of the pyramid and the subsequent amplification of current through the stone to the top, a discharge would occur. Basically, the building was made to hold a charge.
I'm coming to think that Tesla's theory was put to use in HAARP experiment. HAARP was an array of antennae placed in Alaska to work on making changes in the ionosphere to see the results. Many blamed bad weather, earthquakes and bad mojo on it, but here's something telling Tesla said that might shed light onto it - After reading something Tesla said, I am looking at government actions in a new light. Tesla likened the Earth to one capacitor plate and the ionosphere as another. The volt gradient between them is measured at 400,000 volts. By using this principle, he said that he could give free easy energy to the world… I'm still of the impression that homo sapiens having and losing this knowledge is a quirky concept, as we have never been able to put the genie back in the bottle (the wheel, fire, the atomic bomb….) That would mean that we never had the knowledge, yet there is proof someone was using such knowledge long ago in fairly crude methods, but knowledge just the same, which to me points at the concept, not of aliens, but of another branch of man who had earlier evolution, the first world migration, the originators….
The next couple of years will be make or break for the next big theory in physics called supersymmetry - SUSY for short. It might make way for a rival idea which predicts the existence of a 'fifth force' of nature.
But other forms of the theory are still very much in play.
Next year will be an important year for SUSY. The LHC will be smashing atoms together at almost twice the energy it did in its first run. Even those who are still strong advocates of SUSY, such as Cern's revered professor of theoretical physics, John Ellis, agree that if LHC scientists do not find super particles in the LHC's second run, it might be time for the hospital patient to be moved to the mortuary.
"If it is not found in LHC run two then there will be relatively few corners it could hide," he told BBC News.
"I know that at that point the community may decide that the guys who predicted supersymmetry are dying off like flies and that young guys will be interested in different types of theories and supersymmetry may be forgotten. But I don't think we are at that point yet."
Engineers have spent more than a year upgrading the LHC's systems. The hope is that this will allow a new realm of physics to be opened up
One of those young guys is Thibaut Mueller, a 24-year-old PhD student at Cambridge University. He is already checking out alternatives to SUSY.
"A few years ago we thought it was a case of who will be first to find supersymmetry," he said.
"Now there is less and less focus on it and more people are starting to branch out into other models."
Mr Mueller's PhD looks at an alternative to supersymmetry called the composite Higgs model. This idea has been around for decades but is undergoing a resurgence as some researchers raise questions over supersymmetry. Physicists will be looking for evidence for it in the next run of the LHC in 2015.
Thibault's colleague Dr Ben Gripaios believes that the Composite Higgs theory is now a serious alternative to supersymmetry.
SUSY is the perfect theory. We have been looking really hard for it and we have not found it. For me the most compelling alternative is the composite Higgs”
End QuoteDr Ben GripaiosCambridge University
"SUSY was regarded by many people as the perfect theory. We have been looking really hard for it for a long time and we have not found it and so possibly there is a different explanation. For me the most compelling alternative is the Composite Higgs. It is just as plausible as supersymmetry," he told BBC News.
The current theory to explain the forces of nature was developed in the 1960s and is called the Standard Model. It elegantly explains how 13 particles, including the Higgs, interact to create three of the four forces of nature: electromagnetism, and the nuclear strong and weak forces.
But the Standard Model does not explain how gravity works, nor can it account for the matter and energy that makes up 95% of the Universe - referred to by physicists as the "Dark Universe".
Supersymmetry is an extension of the Standard Model and is an attempt toexplain some of the things the current theory can't.
The stage has been set for some years for the detection of super particles. But so far they have been a no show.
It predicts the existence of so-called superparticles which account for much of the missing mass and energy of the Universe.
Supersymmetry also neatly solves what physicists describe as the "fine tuning problem". In very crude terms, all subatomic particles can be thought to have two values for their mass: Their mass in isolation which is called their "bare" mass, and their experimental mass, which includes interactions with other sub-atomic particles.
For all particles the two masses are about the same, except for the Higgs, whose bare mass must be many times larger than its experimental mass.
Going from such a relatively big number to a small number is an unlikely occurrence, rather like a skydiver landing on the head of a pin each time they jump out of a plane. It can only happen if there is an overarching force guiding the skydiver on to the pin head - something that physicists call "fine tuning".
The existence of superparticles interacting with their normal counterparts fine tunes the Higgs's two masses perfectly. The drawback though is that there is no evidence of SUSY, at least not yet.
The composite Higgs theory also solves the fine tuning problem, albeit less elegantly and, just as with SUSY, there is no experimental evidence for it. It supposes that the Higgs is not a fundamental particle, but is instead made up of other fundamental particles bound together by a hitherto unseen fifth force of nature. This is similar to what is already known to happen with the strong nuclear force, which binds quarks together to produce nuclear particles like protons and neutrons.
Scientists at the LHC hope to detect evidence for one or other theory when they resume their experiments in April. In effect, the starting gun goes off in an invisible two-horse race where the winner emerges only at the finish line. Supersymmetry is still the favourite in the minds of most particle physicists, but Thibaut Mueller thinks that the likelihood of finding evidence for composite Higgs theory is not far behind.
Why then is this promising youngster gambling his still early career on the outsider?
High risk
"This is a high risk, high gain game," he explained. "If we find either (SUSY or the composite Higgs) this would be the biggest revolution in particle physics and possibly the whole of physics since quantum mechanics in the the 1940s.
"Even if we do not find evidence for SUSY or composite Higgs, we will still have learned important facts about the Standard Model, which will guide us to new theories".
Of course, the researchers may see neither, which raises the possibility that no fine tuning is needed to turn the big Higgs into the little Higgs.
That would mean that we live in a Universe where the dice are loaded to ensure that the Higgs experimental mass will always improbably land neatly on its bare mass each and every time.
As researchers smash particles at ever higher energies will they find a fifth force of nature that holds the Higgs together
In the absence of evidence for either theory, this anthropic principle might seem like a tempting option. But it's one that those on the front line of research vehemently resist.
According to Thibault Mueller that view is a "conversation stopper".
"It says that 'we are special because we as humans are here to observe it and so we exist'. If we accept that then we might as well give up science altogether.
"We (have established) that we as a species are not special, the Earth is not special, our Solar System is not special. Now we are saying: 'Ah! Our Universe is not that special either'."
Prof Rolf Dieter Heuer, the director-general of the European Centre for Nuclear Research (Cern) recently told researchers at the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) in Valencia, that there was "a lot at stake" for the LHC's second run starting next year.
Indeed there is: careers, reputations and deeply cherished ideas.
But whatever the outcome, physicists are preparing themselves for the ride of their lives. As Prof Heuer told the physics community: "There's much more to be discovered in the Dark Universe".
But other forms of the theory are still very much in play.
Next year will be an important year for SUSY. The LHC will be smashing atoms together at almost twice the energy it did in its first run. Even those who are still strong advocates of SUSY, such as Cern’s revered professor of theoretical physics, John Ellis, agree that if LHC scientists do not find super particles in the LHC’s second run, it might be time for the hospital patient to be moved to the mortuary.
“If it is not found in LHC run two then there will be relatively few corners it could hide,” he told BBC News.
“I know that at that point the community may decide that the guys who predicted supersymmetry are dying off like flies and that young guys will be interested in different types of theories and supersymmetry may be forgotten. But I don’t think we are at that point yet.” Read more

UFO sightings over South Padre Island, Texas on 14th July 2014
New interesting video footage of a bright UFO light recorded in the night sky above South Padre Island, Texas on 14th July 2014.
Witness said: Spotted 2 UFO’s out over the Gulf Of Mexico last night. The sightings lasted for over 20 minutes. The lights just vanished. I have a video of this but can’t seem to upload it here.
A witness at Puducherry, India, reported watching a “white colored, self-revolving cone” UFO that hovered under the cloud cover less than one mile away, according to July 11, 2014, testimony in Case 896 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The object was seen for about two minutes on June 15, 2014, while the witness was waiting for a traffic signal.
“My kid wanted me to see an arrow in the sky,” the witness stated. “When I looked I found a long cockpit-type, conical flying object just self revolving and passing over a big cloud to another small cloud.”
But the object soon disappeared from sight.
“But when it crossed the second small cloud, it just disappeared. It never returned.”

THE WAY David M. Jacobs sees it, aliens from outer space have been kidnapping humans for aeons and sexually molesting them to create human-alien hybrids that walk among us today undetected and will soon take over Earth.
He knows that sounds crazy.
But he long ago quit caring what people think of him. As director of the International Center for Abduction Research, Jacobs, 71, has made it his life's mission to investigate claims of extraterrestrial abduction.
"What I'm doing will either be an interesting but nonessential footnote to popular culture or the most important thing that's ever happened to humankind. I see it as the latter," said Jacobs, who's now working on his fifth book, tentatively titled The New People.
Do you believe aliens exist?
While most people might write off UFO believers as deluded, conspiracy-theorist kooks, Jacobs isn't your typical believer.
He was a tenured professor at Temple University, where he taught American history for 36 years before retiring in 2011. He's a married father of two who lives in a picturesque, 134-year-old Victorian just over the Philadelphia line, in Wyndmoor. He makes his case with well-reasoned, articulate explanations and applies a scholarly approach to his research, which he has shared in four books - printed by well-known and academic publishers.
Jacobs has interviewed about 150 people who say they've been abducted by aliens, the forgotten details of their cosmic kidnappings resurfacing in relaxation sessions the self-taught hypnotist does in his home.
Citing public polls, he estimates that aliens have abducted more than a million Americans.
He readily admits that the evidence of extraterrestrial life and body-snatching is "weak," muddied by an abundance of blurry photos and confabulation (phony or misinterpreted "memories").
Yet he insists evidence exists:
* Abductees independently report similar experiences and recall common details, such as the humanlike or insectlike appearance of aliens and their mission to breed.
Many abductees told Jacobs that aliens stared deeply into their eyes, sometimes touching foreheads, in a neurological scan that enabled them to harvest human sperm and eggs. Women frequently claimed that aliens impregnated them, removed the alien-human hybrid fetuses from their wombs and forced the women to nurse the hybrid babies.
* People are physically absent during the time they say they were abducted, Jacobs said. Some families even have reported loved ones missing or seen them vanish, he added.
* Abductees sometimes are taken in groups; strangers who never met on Earth recall each other from their deep-space experiences, Jacobs said.
* People return with unusual marks, injuries or scars - including scar tissue that formed overnight, "a biological impossibility that I have seen myself," he saidis iconvenient truth
For years, Jacobs shunned speaking locally about alien abductions.
"I knew that it was embarrassing to the university," he said, remembering one Temple donor who threatened to end his charity unless Jacobs quit teaching his UFO class, the only one like it in the country.
But he didn't quit. Still, his beliefs carried a cost: Tenured in 1981, he said he was twice rejected for promotion and never became a full professor at Temple.
"I was not rewarded for my views," Jacobs said. "But you do not often find yourself in the middle of a phenomenon that allows you to make a contribution to something that could be of unsurpassing importance in human history."
Jacobs is among a small but surprising array of well-known folks who reportedly believe in extraterrestrial life, including former U.S. presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, former astronauts Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking and celebrities Mick Jagger, Dan Aykroyd, Muhammad Ali and William Shatner.
On the skeptical side
Critics aren't swayed by the big names.
Even smart people can believe weird things, said Michael Shermer, founde rand editor of Skeptic magazine and a Scientific Americancolumnist.
Shermer interviewed Jacobs for his weekly NPR show, shortly after Jacobs' 1999 book, The Threat, was published. Shermer said Jacobs "spoke like an academic" but that his beliefs are rooted in his "circular, impenetrable argument" that sneaky aliens have lulled skeptics into disbelief and complacency.
William Hartmann, a senior scientist at the Arizona-based Planetary Science Institute, described Jacobs' methods as concerning: "Dr. Jacobs' website describes 'alien abduction' reports extracted under hypnosis, but my sense is that most of the scientific community gives little credence to reports coming from hypnosis," Hartmann said.
Hartmann said he and other scientists examined "photo evidence" of UFOs as members of the U.S. Air Force's "Condon Committee" in the late 1960s.
"I went in hoping to find real evidence of some extraordinary phenomena, but I came out feeling we had no convincing evidence we could take back to Congress or the USAF or public, and that the sociology of the UFO phenomenon was much more interesting than any actual physical evidence like the alleged photos," he said.
The SETI Institute is a private, nonprofit science group based in California that searches for signs of extraterrestrial life. But a spokesman declined to comment on Jacobs or the possibility of aliens on Earth, saying that SETI hunts for signs of alien life in deep space, not here.
No 'gee-whiz thing'
Jacobs himself says he has never seen a UFO nor been abducted by aliens. "I've never been to Japan either, but that doesn't mean Japan doesn't exist,"he said.
He remains undaunted by skeptics. He has been a believer since he first began researching extraterrestrial life in 1970.
As a college student, he read about aliens and UFOs "for R&R" - but became entranced when he thought: "This could be real," he said.
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he switched his doctoral dissertation from the portrayal of women in pre-1915 films to the UFO controversy in America.
He began focusing on alien abductions in the 1980s and vows to continue that research even as it terrifies him more each day.
"I used to think it was the most amazing, wowee, gee-whiz thing," Jacobs said. "But the more I learn about it, the more I fear it, the more I don't want to have anything to do with it."-
That's because he suspects that aliens are intent upon planetary domination, as humans remain mired in ignorance and denial.
"This is a clandestine phenomenon," Jacobs said. "There is one thing that I can say for sure: They don't want us to know what they're doing - because what they're doing benefits them and not us."
The case of Eduard “Billy” Meier is one of the most famous among the UFO enthusiasts. For over 30 years, Meier has claimed to have had direct and continuous contact with extra-terrestrial beings. The case gained substantial credibility among supporters after the work done by Marcel Vogel, an IBM scientist at the time, who analyzed metal samples of alleged extra-terrestrial origin supplied by Meier. While most of the investigations in the Billy Meier case have concentrated on photographic material, not so much has been done on reviewing the scientific part of the famed metal samples.
This article concentrates on the scientific data collected by Vogel from the Meier samples. The results are presented best in the video Beamship: The Metal Analysis, which is part of a 1985 documentary with Jun-Ichi Yaoi from Japan’s Nippon Television. This video is so far the only source to my knowledge that properly displays the data obtained directly from the instruments used by Vogel. Other references, such as “UFO contact from the Pleiades: A preliminary investigation report” by Wendelle C. Stevens, do not show plots of the spectra or scanning electron micrographs and are limited to verbal descriptions of the results and conclusions reached by Vogel [1,2].
The main claims on Meier’s metal samples are the following:
1. Samples contain almost all of the elements of the periodic table.
2. Samples contain the hard to obtain element Thulium with its secondary bands missing in the EDS spectrum.
3. Inclusions in the metal sample exhibit birefringence, which is found in non-metallic or dielectric crystals.
4. Sample examined at a magnification of 500 diameters show signs of micro-manipulation or micro machining.
The claims above have direct data associated to them. Notice that many of the claims that Vogel made are secondary and derive from conclusions he reached from the propositions listed above. The intention of this article is to show that Vogel’s main claims can be scientifically verified based on his own data and that his results can be reproduced out of ordinary materials. The logical argument is that very similar results can be obtained from samples that do not possess the properties that Vogel claims. It is also the intention of this article to propose that, in light of the analysis herein presented, it is no longer necessary to analyze more samples that Meier may supply in the future.
The data from which Vogel claims to have found many elements is a spectrum obtained using Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS). This spectrum is shown in Fig.1.
Figure 1: Screen-shot of the EDS Spectrum collected by Vogel where he claims that all the elements of the periodic table are present. Spectrum collected at 20KeV acceleration voltage.
As a counter-example, Fig. 2 shows an EDS spectrum taken at 20KeV of ultra-pure nickel.
Figure 2: EDS Spectrum at 20KV of ultra-pure nickel. Spectrum captured by I. Alvarado.
Given the similarities of the two spectra above, it can be deduced that the evidence for all the elements present in the sample can be reproduced by a sample consisting of virtually a single element which, in this case, was a pellet of ultra-pure nickel.
The scientific explanation is that the bell-shaped spectrum shown in both spectra is the so-called Bremsstrahlung continuum x-ray radiation, which is produced when electrons decelerate as they pass close to the atomic nuclei of the material. This phenomenon is very well known in EDS analysis and has no bearing on the element composition of the sample [3].
Fig. 3 shows a screen-shot of Vogel’s EDS spectrum where he identifies Thulium and other elements. Here, it is pointed out that the secondary bands of Thulium are not present, which is further used to speculate that the material was put together by unknown methods (e.g. cold fusion).
Figure 3: Screen-shot of the EDS Spectrum collected by Vogel where the claim is made that the element Thulium is present in the sample. Spectrum collected at 20KeV acceleration voltage.
The spectrum shown in Fig. 4 below was produced with a sample made by manually placing a small flake of Silver on top of Aluminum.
Figure 4: EDS Spectrum at 20KV of a sample consisting of Aluminum and a flake of Silver manually placed on top. The band at 0 KeV is background noise. Spectrum captured by I. Alvarado.
The striking similarity between the two spectra in Figs. 3 and 4 is evident and, thus, what Vogel observed was not the hard-to-obtain Thulium, but rather the very-common element Aluminum with some traces of Silver [4]. The Aluminum and Silver of the sample in Fig. 4 are obviously not bonded or alloyed and yet the sample still produces an EDS spectrum identical to Vogel’s. It then follows that EDS alone cannot determine neither chemical bonding nor alloying between the elements detected. Thus, the claim that the elements found in Meier’s sample are bonded or alloyed cannot be supported by EDS analysis alone. The proposition of the missing bands is then nullified as Aluminum does not possess them.
The scientific explanation of this is that Aluminum has one strong EDS band at 1.486 KeV, which is very close to the lowest energy band produced by Thulium at 1.462 KeV. It is common for a computer analyzing EDS spectra to mistake between elements whose energy bands lie close to each other. This explains why the computer also identified Bromine and Argon in Vogel’s spectrum as they too possess energy bands close to Aluminum and Silver. The presence or absence of secondary bands then becomes important to distinguish between elements. Thus, the spectrum obtained by Vogel is best explained as that produced by a piece of Aluminum with traces of Silver that are not alloyed or chemically bonded.
Vogel claims to have detected dielectric birefringence in inclusions around the edges of the sample by means of optical microscopy with cross-polarized illumination. The sequence of his observation is shown in Fig. 5. Here, Vogel goes on to speculate that the sample exhibits a duality between being a metal and a non-metallic crystal.
Figure 5: Two optical micrographs of the same region of the sample taken by Vogel. Left shows normal illumination and Right cross-polarized illumination. The bright portions on the right are claimed to be produced by crystal birefringence.
Now, it is true that a birefringent crystal will appear bright under cross-polarized illumination, when the crystal is aligned properly in the optical setup [5]. However, such observation can also be produced by samples that have rugged topography. Fig. 6 below shows an optical micrograph of a poorly deposited metal film on silicon as it is imaged under normal illumination conditions and under cross-polarized illumination.
Figure 6: Optical micrograph of a metal film poorly deposited onto the surface of a silicon wafer. Left shows normal illumination and Right cross-polarized illumination. The bright streaks on the right are produced by the topography of the surface. Micrographs captured by I. Alvarado with a 50x optical objective.
Just like in Vogel’s micrograph sequence, bright regions are also clearly observed in Fig. 6 under cross polarized light. The difference is now that they are produced merely by the topography of the metal itself and not by non-metallic crystal birefringence. This shows that the cross-polarization method is insufficient to establish whether dielectric birefringence exists in any given sample. Since the sample analyzed by Vogel has a very clear rough surface, the bright regions he observes under cross-polarized light are best explained by the surface topography and not by the presence of non-metallic crystal inclusions in the sample. Since there is no reason to believe that there are insulating portions embedded in Vogel’s metal sample, then severe charge accumulation during SEM imaging is not expected.
Vogel claims to have found evidence of mechanical manipulation at the micro-scale level, presumably done with lasers. This is based on the SEM picture shown in Fig. 7, where the magnification is specified at 500 diameters.
Figure 7: SEM micrograph taken by Vogel showing indentations at the micro scale. The image was taken at 500 diameters magnification.
Fig. 8 shows a SEM micrograph of the surface of an aluminum plate taken at a magnification of 500 diameters as well. This plate was made by conventional metal machining and its surface shows a very clear periodic pattern with a 50 micron pitch that the cutting edge produced during the process. The structure produced was not intentional and has no functionality. Other portions of the same surface did not show this structure.
Figure 8: SEM micrograph of the surface of an Aluminum plate machined by conventional means at 500 diameters magnification, as indicated in the lower caption bar. SEM captured by I. Alvarado.
Given that patterns like this can be obtained unintentionally by ordinary metal cutting tools, it is not necessary to speculate on possible exotic micro-machining processes to produce them. Indeed, a structure imaged at 500 diameters cannot be considered micro-machined even by 1985 technology, let alone by today’s state-of-art nanofabrication techniques, which routinely produce structures that are imaged at magnifications of 100,000 diameters [6].
To summarize, all the results obtained by Marcel Vogel have been properly reproduced from common samples using equivalent equipment and techniques. The spectrum showing all the elements of the periodic table was produced by a sample that virtually contains only one element, the spectrum showing Thulium and Silver was obtained out of a sample of non-alloyed Aluminum and Silver, the cross-polarization optical micrographs that are used to show non-metallic birefringence in the sample were reproduced by a purely metallic sample. A similar micro-machined structure was found in an ordinary machined metal. In all the cases, the instruments and techniques used were equivalent to those used by Vogel.
Many of the speculations adduced by Vogel become invalid in light of the counter-examples presented in this article. For instance, the missing bands of Thulium led Vogel to speculate on cold fusion, which becomes unsustainable after showing that the spectrum obtained is that of Aluminum. Speculation of duality metal-dielectric in the sample also is not required as no valid evidence of birefringence was presented. And so on with the rest of the claims.
Furthermore, some of the claims did not have data to support them and even other claims are pure anecdotes. For example, Vogel claimed that Rhenium was found in the sample with missing EDS bands also; the spectrum was not shown in either references [1] or [2] and it could have been Zinc, as this element has some EDS bands close to that of Rhenium. I am certainly willing to analyze more EDS spectra or SEM micrographs that Vogel or the lab in Switzerland might have produced on these samples, if they are brought to my attention. What should not be done is to take Vogel’s or any other scientist’s word alone to validate any conclusions.
