The most precise measurement of an alien world's size
The most precise measurement of an alien world's size
Using data from NASA's Kepler and Spitzer Space Telescopes, scientists have made the most precise measurement ever of the size of a world outside our solar system, as illustrated in this artist's conception. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
What does it take to find life in the universe? Dr. Sara Seager of MIT is working hard to find out. Seager was recently interviewed by NPR’s Science Friday at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Sara believes the current search for exoplanets has broader implications for our future. “It’s a special time for us here on Earth. It’s the first time in human history that we actually have the technological capability to find other Earths, to identify them as Earths, and to hope to look for signs of life on the first handful or the first dozens or hundreds of exoplanets, and that’s a special time in history. So I’m trying to do what I can to make sure that happens now.”
Thanks to NASA's Kepler and Spitzer Space Telescopes, scientists have made the most precise measurement ever of the radius of a planet outside our solar system. The size of the exoplanet, dubbed Kepler-93b, is now known to an uncertainty of just 74 miles (119 kilometers) on either side of the planetary body.
The findings confirm Kepler-93b as a "super-Earth" that is about one-and-a-half times the size of our planet. Although super-Earths are common in the galaxy, none exist in our solar system. Exoplanets like Kepler-93b are therefore our only laboratories to study this major class of planet.
With good limits on the sizes and masses of super-Earths, scientists can finally start to theorize about what makes up these weird worlds. Previous measurements, by the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, had put Kepler-93b's mass at about 3.8 times that of Earth. The density of Kepler-93b, derived from its mass and newly obtained radius, indicates the planet is in fact very likely made of iron and rock, like Earth.
"With Kepler and Spitzer, we've captured the most precise measurement to date of an alien planet's size, which is critical for understanding these far-off worlds," said Sarah Ballard, a NASA Carl Sagan Fellow at the University of Washington in Seattle and lead author of a paper on the findings published in the Astrophysical Journal.
"The measurement is so precise that it's literally like being able to measure the height of a six-foot tall person to within three quarters of an inch -- if that person were standing on Jupiter," said Ballard.
Kepler-93b orbits a star located about 300 light-years away, with approximately 90 percent of the sun's mass and radius. The exoplanet's orbital distance -- only about one-sixth that of Mercury's from the sun -- implies a scorching surface temperature around 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit (760 degrees Celsius). Despite its newfound similarities in composition to Earth, Kepler-93b is far too hot for life.
To make the key measurement about this toasty exoplanet's radius, the Kepler and Spitzer telescopes each watched Kepler-93b cross, or transit, the face of its star, eclipsing a tiny portion of starlight. Kepler's unflinching gaze also simultaneously tracked the dimming of the star caused by seismic waves moving within its interior. These readings encode precise information about the star's interior. The team leveraged them to narrowly gauge the star's radius, which is crucial for measuring the planetary radius.
Spitzer, meanwhile, confirmed that the exoplanet's transit looked the same in infrared light as in Kepler's visible-light observations. These corroborating data from Spitzer -- some of which were gathered in a new, precision observing mode -- ruled out the possibility that Kepler's detection of the exoplanet was bogus, or a so-called false positive.
Taken together, the data boast an error bar of just one percent of the radius of Kepler-93b. The measurements mean that the planet, estimated at about 11,700 miles (18,800 kilometers) in diameter, could be bigger or smaller by about 150 miles (240 kilometers), the approximate distance between Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.
Spitzer racked up a total of seven transits of Kepler-93b between 2010 and 2011. Three of the transits were snapped using a "peak-up" observational technique. In 2011, Spitzer engineers repurposed the spacecraft's peak-up camera, originally used to point the telescope precisely, to control where light lands on individual pixels within Spitzer's infrared camera.
The upshot of this rejiggering: Ballard and her colleagues were able to cut in half the range of uncertainty of the Spitzer measurements of the exoplanet radius, improving the agreement between the Spitzer and Kepler measurements.
"Ballard and her team have made a major scientific advance while demonstrating the power of Spitzer's new approach to exoplanet observations," said Michael Werner, project scientist for the Spitzer Space Telescope at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.

New said: The silver-grey object, which looks like a flying saucer, was photographed floating over Portsmouth. Lewis Rogers, 26, saw it when he was visiting a friend in the city. The animation director said: “My initial thought was it was an aeroplane but it was just moving too quickly. “I was the only one who saw it who was quick enough to take the picture. I definitely believe in UFOs. I often look up at the sky in the evening wondering if there is anything or anyone else out there.” Student Johnny Blackwell, 23, of nearby Southsea, said: “It didn’t look like a cloud and it was moving very fast.

New amazing video footage of a bright red colored UFO sighting recorded in the night sky above Chicago on 18th September 2014.
Witness said: Partly cloudy skies blocked the object from view until almost overhead. Note the longer shape of the object and the separation between forward and rear lighting arrays and the distance will decrease during filming.
Under heavy cloud cover on September 17, 2014, the witness saw the triangle-shaped UFO hovering about a half-mile away. Pictured: Gulf Shores, Alabama. (Credit: Google)
An Alabama witness at Gulf Shores reported watching a “massive-sized triangle” that appeared to be a half-mile away over Highway 59 west, according to testimony in Case 59981 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his family were vacating in the area when the object was first seen from a condo balcony about 9:30 p.m. on September 17, 2014.
“There had been a heavy cloud cover most of the day and was still present that night,” the witness stated. “The cloud cover was so thick I could observe no stars or planets. As I turned to my right, which would be a southwest direction, I saw three finger-tipped-sized yellow lights in a triangular pattern with a large expanse between them.”
The object appeared to hover, but slowly pivoted to change to a more southern direction. Pictured: Gulf Shores, Alabama. (Credit: Google)
The witness cleaned the binocular lens thinking it was dust or moisture and then continued to watch.
“As I watched the objects hovering just below the dense dark clouds, it became obvious it had a huge, dark, dense mass and triangular form. It appeared to be hovering perhaps a half-mile from my location with one light over Highway 59 west, one over water but close to the beach shore area and one light probably 300 to 400 feet out into the Gulf, but it was so dark with cloud coverage it was difficult to judge distance.”
The object remained in one spot, but seemed to move in place.
“It appeared to hover, but slowly pivoted to change to a more southern direction.”
The witness went inside momentarily and when he returned to the deck, the object was gone.
“The distance between lights and the dark density of the mass made me think of the Phoenix sighting several years ago. I have observed several UFOs over the years, but nothing this size before. I make an effort to eliminate other possibilities before stating an object is a UFO. I do not react with fear of them but just silently observe them when I have seen them. I will add that the object could not be seen at all with the naked eye but only with my binoculars, yet, no stars at all could be seen. I do not have video or photos of the sighting.”
The witness said the object reminded him of the 1997 Phoenix Lights sighting. Pictured: Gulf Shores, Alabama. (Credit: Google)
Gulf Shores is a coastal city in Baldwin County, Alabama, population 9,741. Alabama MUFON is investigating. Alabama has a current UFO Alert Rating of 5 with a low number of recent reports nationally. Alabama had 11 UFO reports in August 2014 – the 18th highest reporting state – while California had 99 reports as the highest reporting state. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 150 or more reports for the month are rated an Alert 1; states with 100 or more reports are rated an Alert 2; 25 reports or more for the month are rated an Alert 3; 13 or more reports are rated an Alert 4; and those states with less than 13 reports for the month are an Alert 5.
Federal meteorologists calculated that more heat records were set around the globe last month, including Earth's hottest August. May, June and August all set global heat records this year. Meteorologists said Thursday that the average world temperature in August was 61.36 degrees Fahrenheit (16.35 degrees Celsius), breaking a record set in 1998. August was especially hot in the Pacific and Indian oceans and Africa, but cooler in parts of the United States, Europe and Australia. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration records go back to 1880. The first three-quarters of 2014 are the third warmest on record. NOAA climate scientist Jake Crouch said there's a good chance that 2014 will end up as the hottest year. The world's oceans in August effectively tied last June for the seas' all-time heat record. - NBC News
Spiritual healer arrested after killing follower...to prove that he could bring him back to life
A pir was arrested in Pakistan on Wednesday for killing a follower to prove his claim that he could bring him back to life. A Saddar police spokesman said Muhammad Sabir, a pir of village Mubarakabad in Bahawalnagar, gained popularity over the last five years for his ability to perform ‘miracles’. He said on Tuesday, he announced that he could breathe life back into a dead man.
The pir gave the condition that the victim must be married and have children. Sabir said 40-year-old Muhammad Niaz, a daily wage worker and father of six children, volunteered for the miracle. On Wednesday, Niaz was placed on a table in a square and his hands and legs were bound. The police spokesman said Sabir then sliced his throat as people looked on. Meanwhile, an anonymous caller informed the police about ‘the miracle.’
The spokesman said that by the time police arrived, Niaz had died. Witnesses said Sabir uttered some words to bring him back to life. They said when he realized his ‘miracle’ had not worked, he tried to flee. He was detained by the villagers and handed over to the police. Villagers told police that he used ask a local pet store to donate birds and dogs so that could save villagers from black magic. They said he sacrificed animals and sprinkled their blood on his followers.
He also asked them to sprinkle it at the entrance of their houses to be protected from evil. A report against the cleric has been lodged in Saddar police station. The body of the victim was taken to a hospital for an autopsy and later handed over to the family for burial. Samina, sister of the victim, said that her brother had sacrificed himself for the spiritual leader. “Why should I mourn when I know that my brother is in heaven?” she said. “He will be rewarded for his services for the spiritual leader in afterlife.” She said her brother had volunteered for the miracle and that the pir should not have been arrested. - Tribune
Tony Duffy's claim to have met yowies puts him in surprisingly good company.
Former Queensland senator Bill O'Chee was one of more than a dozen people, including fellow high school students and teachers, who claimed to have seen such a creature at a Springbrook camp site in 1977.
It was, Mr O'Chee said "an immensely powerful creature" and he later told a documentary interviewer: "Basically we saw a yowie, but we didn't know what they were at the time.
"We saw a sort of hairy, ape-like thing that probably would have stood about eight feet tall," he said. Read more at Gympie Time
Martín photographed a series of blue lights moving randomly through the sky. “I think it's a UFO,” he said. Read the article and draw your own conclusions.
Martín was strolling down Avenida Independencia, taking in his surroundings. When he reached Rawson, he stopped to look at a sign posted to a wall, because in the background, the steady glow of a set of lights illuminated it. This occurred on Friday (09.19.14) at around 20:00 hours.
“They moved at random,” says the young man, startled at the vision, standing in the middle of the street looking fixedly at what seemed to be an unidentified flying object. Yes, a UFO. He immediately pulled a video camera out of his bag and recorded the unusual sight. He recorded the lights that moved “in a Z formation” for a little over two minutes, until he stopped recording. He also took a few photographs for good measure.
“When I watched the video back home I realized the flying object had blue lights, and from what I was able to find out, there are no commercial airliners with lights of that sort,” Martín Malaspina explained to 0223. He also added: “The lights moved at random, not in a linear manner as aircraft or helicopters tend to travel.”
The Mar del Plata resident told 0223 that this “isn't the first time” that he's come across unidentified flying objects, but in this opportunity he had a camera to capture the moment.
The bizarre images and information provided by Martín appear to be directly connected with the thousands of stories to be found in the most exclusive channels of this widespread popular belief.
“I think it's an unidentified flying object,” Martín said frankly.
Alleged UFO over Portsmouth. (Credit: Lewis Rogers)
Multiple witnesses allegedly observed a UFO over the Hampshire city of Portsmouth in England.
Several people began posting sighting claims on Twitter beginning on Tuesday, September 16. Witnesses described seeing a fast moving, grey, disc-like object. One witness, Lewis Rogers, claimed he saw the strange object on Wednesday, September 17, and he posted a photo of the UFO to Twitter.
Local newspaper, the Portsmouth News, published a story about the UFO sightings. “My initial thought was it was an aeroplane, but it was just moving too quickly,” Rogers explained to the paper. “I was the only one that saw it but was quick enough to take the picture.” He continued, “I definitely believe in UFOs and am very interested in science fiction, and often look up at the sky in the evening wondering if there is anything or anyone else out there.”
The object in Rogers’ photo is just an elongated blur, providing no detail. The object’s appearance led some to speculate that it was simply a bird or even a cloud. The Portsmouth News checked with the Met Office, UK’s national weather service, to get a professional opinion about the unusual object. The Met’s Laura Young stated, “After looking at the images, I can say the object is nothing to do with the weather. It is not meteorological and is not a cloud.”
Media outlets around the world ran with the story about this mysterious UFO over Portsmouth, despite the lack of any real details except for photos showing a blurry object in the sky.
A major red flag with this case emerged right from the start. Although several people were posting on Twitter about having seen the UFO, or about wanting to see the UFO, all of these posts included the hashtag #pompeyufo (Pompey is the nickname for Portsmouth). And the posts generally seemed silly and light-hearted. Even Rogers was having fun with his alleged sighting. He posted, “Just found the #pompeyufo,” and included a photo of himself posing with a miniature figure of E.T.
The use of a hashtag by multiple people is a good indication that a UFO sighting is a hoax carried out with the hopes of creating a buzz to promote some upcoming event.
And that is exactly what happened in this case.
Several of the people posting on Twitter about the #pompeyufo are members of the Hill Valley Preservation Society (a group of Back to the Future fans). This group is participating in the upcoming Sci Fi and Fantasy Weekend, a weekend event in Portsmouth celebrating science fiction and fantasy. On Monday, September 22, organizers posted on the event’s Facebook page that they were responsible for the UFO hoax. It was an attempt at a viral marketing campaign for the upcoming event.
This isn’t the first UFO hoax carried out for promotional purposes. And it surely won’t be the last. The UFO hoax is always a confusing and questionable marketing gimmick. Sure, in this case, the UFO photo made headlines around the world. But all that attention is on the UFO, not the event. Although the truth about its purpose has been revealed, very few media outlets will go back and edit their stories, or choose to publish new stories about the UFO’s true origin.
But beyond the UFO’s effectiveness as a marketing gimmick, its use in instances like this perpetuates the idea that all UFOs are either hoaxes or have some other easy explanation. It’s also like “crying wolf,” which makes media outlets less likely to take UFO sightings seriously. Yes, most UFO sightings can eventually be explained. But there are the truly unexplainable instances out there that deserve widespread attention and inquiry. Hoaxes like the Portsmouth UFO make that increasingly difficult by putting the global media’s spotlight on rubbish.
SterrenkundeHet team van Amerikaanse astronomen dat dit voorjaar spectaculaire eerste waarnemingen vanaf de zuidpool van de versnellende oerknal presenteerde, heeft voor zijn beurt gesproken. Wat ze voor veelzeggende kreukels in de oerknal hielden, is niet te onderscheiden van stof in de Melkweg.
Die vernietigende conclusie komt uit een nieuwe analyse van de waarnemingen van de kosmische achtergrondruis die eerder werden gemaakt met de Planck-satelliet. Stof, zo blijkt, geeft hetzelfde soort verstoringen van die ruis als het effect dat het Bicep2-team voor zogeheten inflatie hield.
Inflatie is de extreem versnelde uitzetting van het piepjonge heelal, vlak na de oerknal zelf, zo'n 15 miljard haar geleden. Dat effect verklaart waarom het heelal op grote schaal zo gelijkmatig is, maar is tot nog toe nooit direct waargenomen. Bicep2 claimde dat nu wel te kunnen.
Inflatie is zo heftig, dat ruimte en tijd zelf rimpelingen vertonen. Die zijn in theorie nog steeds te zien aan de manier waarop de achtergrondstraling verdraaid is, de zogeheten B-modepolarisatie.
"Bewijs voor kosmische inflatie" Dit voorjaar meldde het team van de Bicep2-radiotelescoop op de Zuidpool dat het die verdraaiingen op een stukje hemel had gevonden. Dat zou het rechtstreekse bewijs voor kosmische inflatie zijn. Kosmologen vierden het nieuws met champagne.
Het spectaculaire resultaat werd kort daarna echter al in twijfel getrokken, omdat experts meenden dat de Amerikanen het signaal van stof in hun analyses waren vergeten. Daarna was het wachten op het team van Planck, dat nu concludeert dat de claims van Bicep2 onhoudbaar zijn. Het stofsignaal, stellen ze vast, is niet te verwaarlozen en zelfs even sterk als wat Bicep2 voor oerknalrimpels hield.
De Groningse kosmoloog Diederik Roest noemt de Planck-resultaten overtuigend. "Dit wil niet helemaal zeggen dat Bicep2 niets van vlak na de oerknal ziet, maar wat er na aftrek van stof overblijft, is binnen de foutenmarges niet veel."
De teams van Planck en Bicep2 zeggen nu samen nog beter te gaan uitzoeken wat er eventueel nog wel uit de waarnemingen is af te leiden over kosmische inflatie. Uit de Planck-metingen is bijvoorbeeld af te leiden welke gebieden aan de hemel weinig stof bevatten, zodat nieuwe metingen op die plaatsen misschien wel bewijzen voor inflatie kunnen leveren.

TIMBER!
This Week's Episode: Gene and Chris present one of our most-requested guests, Travis Walton. Walton's 1975 UFO abduction encounter, where he disappeared for five days after encountering a flying saucer, has been the subject of back and forth discussions and controversy. His experiences were recounted in his book, "Fire in the Sky: The Walton Experience," and somewhat fictionalized in a 1993 movie of the same name. In November, 2014, Travis is hosting a conference, Skyfire Summit, in Heber, AZ (near where he was dropped off by the "aliens"). The event will feature Walton, Richard Dolan, Stanton T. Friedman, Peter Robbins, Kathleen Marden, Donald Schmitt, Linda Moulton Howe, Tracy Torme and others including Chris.
Since then, many books and internet sites have been filled with conflicting theories about whether it was an alien visitation, a military aircraft, the beam from Orfordness Lighthouse or natural phenomena.
The Forestry Commission opened a UFO Trail in 2005 and placed three logs in a clearing where witnesses claimed a craft had landed and disappeared.
The new UFO will be placed in the same clearing.
The Forestry Commission's UFO Trail leaflet has a disclaimer about reported UFO sightings
Nigel Turner, recreation manager at Rendlesham Forest, said: "Clearly something happened - there's a party who believe it was something military, there are people who believe it was extraterrestrial activity and we respect all opinions.
"We think it will fit in well, because it offers a goal for people completing the trail and also give an insight into our timber-growing and conservation work."
Olivia English designed the UFO sculpture and said it was based on one of the servicemen's sketches and other descriptions of sightings in the forest.
She said: "The design is really about trying to find a middle ground and remaining impartial and creating an interpretation.
"The symbols on the side of the UFO were originally part of the trail, but we've recycled them to add another dimension. There's no secret code - it's art."

Wetenschapper: "Ik heb bewijs voor Bigfoot gevonden in Rusland"
Wetenschapper: “Ik heb bewijs voor Bigfoot gevonden in Rusland”
In Canada is men op zoek naar Sasquatch, in de Himalaya naar de yeti en in de Verenigde Staten naar Bigfoot. Maar wist je dat ook de Russen een versie van de verschrikkelijke sneeuwman hebben? Een Russische wetenschapper zegt dat hij aan de hand van een stuk bast kan aantonen dat de Almas zich schuilhoudt in de bossen rond Moskou.
“De Almas komt vrijwel over de gehele wereld voor,” vertelde Andrei Stroganov aan de Moscow Times. “Ik ben niet bang: ze zijn goedaardig en hebben onze bescherming nodig.” De biofysicus van de prestigieuze Landbouwacademie in Moskou zegt dat hij een stuk boomschors heeft gevonden in de buurt van Moskou dat sporen bevat van een grote primaat.
Horizontale krassen op de schors zouden afkomstig zijn van een poot met een doorsnee van zo’n 23 centimeter. Volgens Stroganov is het uitgesloten dat de sporen zijn achtergelaten door een beer.
Hij claimt de Almas ook gezien te hebben tijdens een recent bezoek aan Tsjeljabinsk in de Oeral, maar wilde niet ingaan op details. De onderzoeker gaat fragmenten van de schors onderzoeken in een laboratorium in Alabama, waar eventueel DNA-materiaal wordt geanalyseerd en een morfologisch onderzoek wordt gedaan.
Eerder dit jaar werd nieuw DNA-onderzoek gepubliceerd over het bestaan van Bigfoot. De haren die onderzoekers op 57 plaatsen over heel de wereld hadden gevonden kwamen echter overeen met die van koeien, paarden, honden, wasberen en beren.
Het onderzoek werd gestart vanwege het ongeloof van aanhangers van de Bigfoot-theorie dat serieuze wetenschappers zijn bestaan alleen maar zouden ontkennen zonder hier onderzoek naar te hebben gedaan. Een uitdaging die Oxford-onderzoeker Bryan Sykes maar al te graag aannam.
Twee haarmonsters uit Azië vertoonden wel overeenkomsten met een uitgestorven poolbeer uit de steentijd. Dat kan er op wijzen dat in dat gebied een nog onbekende beersoort rondzwerft.
In 1958 riep de Sovjetregering een speciale Almas-commissie in het leven om naar het wezen te speuren. Gedacht wordt dat de Almas zich ophoudt in de oblast Kemerovo in Siberië, de Kaukasus en de Oeral.
Er zijn verhalen bekend van Bijbelse personen die tot wel 900 jaar oud werden. Teksten uit verschillende culturen spreken van een levensverwachting die door moderne mensen onmogelijk wordt geacht. Sommigen wijten dit aan een foute vertaling, terwijl anderen zeggen dat de getallen een symbolische betekenis hebben. Historici vragen zich echter af of de levensverwachting van de mens in de afgelopen paar duizend jaar drastisch is afgenomen.
In het Oude Nabije Oosten werd een jaar gelijkgesteld aan de omlooptijd van de maan om de aarde (een maand) in plaats van de omlooptijd van de aarde om de zon (12 maanden), schreef Carol A. Hill in 2003 in het tijdschrift Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith. Na correctie zou Adam uit de Bijbel niet 930, maar 77 jaar zijn geworden. Maar dat zou ook betekenen dat hij al op 11-jarige leeftijd zijn zoon Henoch heeft verwerkt. En Henoch zou dan slechts 5 jaar oud zijn geweest toen hij zijn zoon Methusalah verwekte. “Getallen in Genesis kunnen zowel een echte (numerieke) als heilige (numerologische of symbolische) betekenis hebben,” aldus Hill.
De Koningslijst, die de namen van koningen geeft van voor de zondvloed, laat zien dat de levensverwachting van de mens door de jaren heen sterk is afgenomen. Voor de zondvloed werden mensen een paar honderd jaar tot wel meer dan 1000 jaar oud, zo blijkt uit de Koningslijst. In de Bijbel wordt eenzelfde beeld zichtbaar: Adam zou 930 jaar oud zijn geworden, Noach 500 jaar en Abraham 175 jaar.
Dwight Young van de Brandeis-universiteit in de Amerikaanse staat Massachusetts trof in de Koningslijst kwadraten aan. Hij stuitte vaak op 900, het kwadraat van 30; 625, het kwadraat van 25; en 400, het kwadraat van 20. Zijn onderzoek werd in 1988 gepubliceerd in het Journal of Near Eastern Studies. Mede-oprichter van de Church of God in Texas Arthur Mendez denkt dat de daling van de levensverwachting is te wijten aan de blootstelling aan straling of gifstoffen.
In het oude China werden mensen veel ouder dan nu. Acupuncturist Joseph P. Hou schreef in zijn boek Healthy Longevity Techniques: “Uit Chinese medische archieven blijkt dat een arts genaamd Cuie Wenz uit de Qin-dynastie 300 jaar oud is geworden. Gee Yule uit de Han-dynastie werd 280 jaar oud. De taoïstische monnik Hui Zhao stierf op 290-jarige leeftijd.”
In de Chinese encyclopedie van medische zaken zijn veel meer van dit soort gevallen te vinden. Er valt bijvoorbeeld te lezen over een taoïstische meester, Li Quingyuan, die 250 jaar oud is geworden. Dr. Hou schreef dat de sleutel tot een lang leven niet alleen moet worden gezocht in fysieke voeding, maar ook in mentale en spirituele voeding.
De Sjahnama (het Boek der Koningen), een Perzisch epos dat rond het jaar 1010 werd opgeschreven door dichter Ferdausi, verhaalt over koningen die 1000 jaar aan de macht waren.
In 1996 maakte India Today melding van Bir Narayan Chaudhary, een 141-jarige inwoner van het dorpje Tharu in Nepal. In de Kaukasus zouden mensen met gemak een leeftijd van 170 jaar bereiken.
“Mensen die zo oud worden leiden over het algemeen een nederig en eenvoudig bestaan en doen tot op zeer late leeftijd fysiek zwaar werk, vaak buiten de deur. Een voorbeeld is Shisali Nislinlow, een 170-jarige tuinier uit Azerbeidzjan die zich nooit haastte,” schreef dr. Hou. “Hij zei: ‘Ik haast me nooit. Ik verricht al 150 jaar fysiek zwaar werk’.”

De wereld zal spoedig getuige zijn van een ‘mini-ijstijd’ in plaats van global warming, doordat de zonneactiviteit de afgelopen jaren is afgenomen. Dat vertelde een Russische wetenschapper aan persbureau RIA Novosti.
“In de afgelopen 17 jaar is de wereldtemperatuur niet gestegen. Sinds 1997 is er geen sprake meer geweest van opwarming. De bestralingssterkte van de zon neemt al sinds 1990 in rap tempo af. Sinds 1990 heeft de zon de aarde niet meer verwarmd zoals in het verleden,” zei astrofysicus Habibullo Abdussamatov van de sterrenwacht Pulkovo in Sint-Petersburg.
Volgens Abdussamatov kunnen we begin volgend jaar al in een mini-ijstijd terechtkomen. Een dergelijke mini-ijstijd duurt ongeveer 200 jaar, zei hij tegenover RIA Novosti. Hij voegde toe dat de temperatuur tijdens mini-ijstijden gewoonlijk met 1-1.5°C daalt.
“De gemiddelde temperatuur op aarde daalt met één tot anderhalve graad als we de afkoelingsfase ingaan. Dit gebeurt naar verwachting rond het jaar 2060,” zei hij. Abdussamatov vermoedt dat de afkoelingsfase ongeveer 45 tot 65 jaar zal duren, waarna de wereld rond het begin van de 22e eeuw weer enigszins zal opwarmen. Dit heeft volgens hem alles te maken met veranderingen in zonneactiviteit.
De wereld moet zich per direct voorbereiden op een ‘global cooldown’, zei hij. Politici en zakenmagnaten moeten de effecten van de volgende Kleine IJstijd op de industrie, landbouw en leefomstandigheden in kaart gaan brengen, stelde Abdussamatov.
“At Least 4 Known Alien Species Have Been Visiting Earth For Thousands Of Years” X Canadian Defence Minister Continues To Blow The Whistle
“At Least 4 Known Alien Species Have Been Visiting Earth For Thousands Of Years” X Canadian Defence Minister Continues To Blow The Whistle
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 Defence 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
