New study found that the collapse of the universe is IMMINENT

March 25, 2015 - One theory for dark energy suggests the universe may not expand forever, but instead collapse in a “big crunch,” after which time ceases to exist. Now, according to a new study, this could happen much sooner than anyone expected—although still on the order of billions of years away.​

For nearly a century, cosmologists have been obsessed with the question of whether gravity will eventually cause the universe to collapse in on itself in a reversal of the Big Bang, or if it will expand forever until the stars burn out. Or as Robert Frost put it, end in fire or ice.

The discovery of dark energy seemed to have settled the question. If the universe is not only expanding, but accelerating in its expansion because a powerful force is overcoming gravity at large distances, then how could it ever reverse? Instead, the dispersion might be expected to happen faster and faster until the galaxies, and maybe individual stars, lose touch with each other. 

In Physical Review Letters, however, two physicists have attempted to answer the still-unsolved question of what dark energy actually is. Their model suggests dark energy will dominate the universe shortly before a “turnaround,” leading to an eventual collapse. While they cannot set a date on when this turnaround will occur, a natural choice for the strengths of forces suggests it could be quite soon.

“A single, technically natural choice for the slope ensures that the collapse is imminent and is preceded by the current stage of cosmic acceleration,” write physicists Nemanja Kaloper from the University of California, Davis, and Antonio Padilla of the University of Nottingham.

While their solution is elegant, it is not clear whether Kaloper and Padilla are actually describing the universe we live in. "It's way too early to say if it will stand the test of time, but so far it has stood up to scrutiny,” Padilla told Phys.org.

The work relies on a previous paper by the pair, which tackled the question of why observations of the size of the cosmological constant are wildly out of keeping with modeled results. Their solution is vacuum energy sequestering, an idea they describe as a “very simple reformulation of General Relativity” where the energy that exists everywhere (vacuum energy density) in the universe is prevented from contributing to the curvature of the universe, and therefore influencing gravity. The work makes the cosmological constant equal to the average of all the matter energy density in the universe that has, or will, exist. 

Padilla explains aspects of his previous work in this video.

Second mysterious QUASICRYSTAL found in 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite

March 26, 2015 - A team from Princeton University and the University of Florence in Italy has discovered a quasicrystal—so named because of its mystical arrangement of atoms—in a 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite from a remote region of northeastern Russia, bringing to two the number of natural quasicrystals ever discovered. Prior to the team finding the first natural quasicrystal in 2009, researchers thought that the structures were too fragile and energetically unstable to be formed by natural processes.    

"The finding of a second quasicrystal confirms that these materials can form in nature and are stable over cosmic time scales," said Paul Steinhardt, Princeton's Albert Einstein Professor of Science and a professor of physics, who led the study with Luca Bindi of the University of Florence. The team published the finding in the March 13 issue of the journal Scientific Reports.

The discovery raises the possibility that other types of quasicrystals can be formed in nature, according to Steinhardt. Quasicrystals are very hard, have low friction, and don't conduct heat very well—making them good candidates for applications such as protective coatings on items ranging from airplanes to non-stick cookware.

The newly discovered quasicrystal, which is yet to be named, has a structure that resembles flat 10-sided disks stacked in a column. This type of structure is impossible in ordinary crystals, in which atoms are packed closely together in a repeated and orderly fashion. The difference between crystals and quasicrystals can be visualized by imagining a tiled floor: Tiles that are 6-sided hexagons can fit neatly against each other to cover the entire floor. But 5-sided pentagons or 10-sided decagons laid next to each will result in gaps between tiles. "The structure is saying 'I am not a crystal, but on the other hand, I am not random either,'" Steinhardt said.

‘Strings of Lights’ are huge UFOs for transporting smaller UFOs?

Unexplained string of lights over Lake Michigan off of the DC Cook Nuclear Plant
Bridgman in MI, US.

Amateur radio operators are well aware of recent sun spot activity as it affects short wave communications.

Witness report: "On Tuesday, March 17 a CME struck Earth producing the largest
geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle. Aurora was visible all the way down to the central United States. The planetary A index for the day was 117, an incredibly high number." See: http://www.arrl.org/news/the-k7ra-solar-update-366.

"A ham operator decided to have a look at the "northern lights". Weko Beach, Bridgman, Michigan, offered an excellent view of the northern sky. An excellent photographer, this person took a series of relatively high resolution photos of the aurora with his Nikon D7000.”

“As the ham club newsletter editor and friend, the photographer sent me a photo showing a strange unidentified object, like a string of lights, reminded me of the Phoenix Lights from a distance." See the above photo.

The very bright lights at the extreme right in the photo above are flood lights at the DC Cook Nuclear Plant, the orange in the foreground seems to be light (perhaps moonlight) as it reflected off of the sand covered ice mounds at the Weko Beach shoreline.” MUFON case 64164.

It is possible that these ‘strings of lights’ are giant UFOs - "RODs"? Transport spacecraft for transporting smaller UFOs?

The following two videos show strings of lights in the skies as well as next to the sun.

Note: An excellent sample of a fast moving string of light in the sky can be seen in the first video at the 1.42 mark.

Researchers identify 'tipping point' between quantum and classical worlds

If we are ever to fully harness the power of light for use in optical devices, it is necessary to understand photons - the fundamental unit of light. Achieving such understanding, however, is easier said than done. That's because the physical behavior of photons - similar to electrons and other sub-atomic particles - is characterized not by classical physics, but by quantum mechanics.

Now, in a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists from Bar-Ilan University have observed the point at which classical and quantum behavior converge. Using a fiber-based nonlinear process, the researchers were able to observe how, and under what conditions, "classical" physical behavior emerges from the quantum world.

Up and Out of "Entanglement"

In the quantum world, pairs of photons are "entangled" - connected so that measurements performed on one affect the other, even when separated by great distances. This concept - which Albert Einstein called "spooky action at a distance" - leads to another counter-intuitive claim: that, when unobserved, the photons exist in all possible states simultaneously.

Using a well-established technique called broadband four-wave mixing (FWM), the scientists fired a laser through an optical fiber, generating entangled photon pairs, or bi-photons.

"FWM is an important source of single bi-photons for quantum communication schemes, especially for in-fiber applications," says the publication's first author, Rafi Vered. Vered is a PhD student whose work is supervised by both Dr. Avi Pe'er and Prof. Michael Rosenbluh, faculty members in Bar-Ilan University's Department of Physics and at the Bar-Ilan Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials (BINA).

"Rather than generating the bi-photons with high- or low-power laser pulses - which would cause the system to demonstrate either pure classical or quantum behavior - we focused on the intermediate power regime. At this intermediate power level, we were able to observe the transition point where the cross-over between 'spooky' quantum behavior and 'classical' wave physics takes place."

Power, Pulse and Interference Patterns

The researchers' experimental set-up focused on a unique interference phenomenon that affects only photon pairs, but not single photons. Quantifying this interference was made possible through the creation a kind of optic "obstacle course" in which the dual nature of light - encompassing both wave-like and particle-like behavior - could be revealed.

"In our experiment, we examined the way in which photon pairs act as particles, but also present wave-like patterns of interference," Pe'er explains, adding that this effect is strongly related to the quantum entanglement between the two photons of a bi-photon pair. "We were able to manipulate this interference by introducing an attenuator - a beam splitter - that deliberately broke the quantum entanglement between the photons."

According to Pe'er, the passage of light through the attenuator strips many of the photons from their bi-photon partners, and as a result, the probability of an intact photon-pair crossing the attenuator is much lower than the chances that a single photon will cross on its own. This change - which severely reduces bi-photon-specific interference - was mediated directly by the scientists through the application of varying levels of laser power.

"We generated bi-photon pairs by firing laser pulses over a large range of power levels," Vered explains, "and we found that when the number of bi-photon pairs is lower than a certain limit, its properties must be described by quantum mechanics. However, when a larger number of pairs successfully pass through, their behavior can be well predicted by classical physical principles. This allowed us to identify the 'point of transition' at which the quantum nature of light 'collapses' to conform to the rules that govern the classical, non-quantum world."

Ultra-Fast Bi-Photon Detection

Another achievement noted in the PRL publication is the scientists' ability to detect bi-photons at an unprecedentedly high rate.

"Our lab holds the world record for the generation and transmission of single bi-photons (up to 1014 bi-photons per second)," says Pe'er, an expert in quantum optics and laser physics. He adds that, until this recent work, such a record-breaking number of bi-photons was regarded, not as a feature, but as a bug.

"In this study, we introduced a fiber-based nonlinear process to generate bi-photons - pairs of entangled energy quanta," Pe'er says, explaining that the resultant broadband ultra-high flux (up to 1014 bi-photons per second in the actual experiment) means that nearly 100 photons can arrive at their destination every pico-second or so. "While this offers a huge improvement over other methods, until now there has been no corresponding photon-detection method capable of handling such a high flux without 'choking' on all the incoming data. Recently, we solved this problem by using different detection principle. In the detector, we employ a non-linear fiber - the same type used in transmission - which inverses the process and identifies the bi-photons as they arrive."

More Than One Way to See "Schroedinger's Cat"

According to Vered, an interesting aspect of the study is how it provides a concrete, optics-based perspective on quantum superposition - the idea that entangled quanta inhabit all possible states until they are observed.

"Any popular explanation of quantum theory usually begins with Schroedinger's cat - a thought experiment describing a cat inside a closed box, that may be either dead or alive," Vered says. "Rather than looking at the tipping-point between life and death, our experiment examines the point at which quantum behavior gives way to classical physics. Since quantum behavior kicks in at a very small scale, one could liken our results to identifying the transition point at which Schroedinger's cat shrinks to a small enough size to be perceived as being both alive and dead at the same time."

Daily 2 Cents: The Next Chapter of 'The X-Files' -- Nazi Hideout Found in Argentina -- Shape-Shifting Frog Discovered

The X-Files: The next mind-bending chapter

Emmy Award-winning Pop Culture Phenomenon From Chris Carter Is Back as Six-Episode Event Series

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson to Reprise Their Roles as FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully

Thirteen years after the original series run, FOX has ordered the next mind-bending chapter of THE X-FILES, a thrilling, six-episode event series which will be helmed by creator/executive producer Chris Carter with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson re-inhabiting their roles as iconic FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. This marks the momentous return of the Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning pop culture phenomenon, which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network television history.

The announcement was made today by Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen and CEOs of Fox Television Group and Chris Carter, creator and executive producer of THE X-FILES. Production on THE X-FILES event series is set to begin in summer 2015. Further details remain under wraps and will be announced at a later date.

“I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,” said Carter. “The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.”

“We had the privilege of working with Chris on all nine seasons of THE X-FILES – one of the most rewarding creative experiences of our careers – and we couldn’t be more excited to explore that incredible world with him again,” remarked Newman and Walden. “THE X-FILES was not only a seminal show for both the studio and the network, it was a worldwide phenomenon that shaped pop culture – yet remained a true gem for the legions of fans who embraced it from the beginning. Few shows on television have drawn such dedicated fans as THE X-FILES, and we’re ecstatic to give them the next thrilling chapter of Mulder and Scully they’ve been waiting for.”

THE X-FILES originally premiered in September 1993.  Over the course of its nine-season run, the influential series went from breakout sci-fi favorite to massive global hit, and became one of the most successful television dramas of all time. The show, which earned 16 Emmy Awards, five Golden Globes and a Peabody Award, follows FBI special agents Scully (Anderson) and Mulder (Duchovny) as they investigate unexplained cases – “X-Files” – for which the only answers involve paranormal phenomena.

Produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Ten Thirteen Productions, THE X-FILES is created and executive-produced by Chris Carter. - FOX

I have been visited by gray aliens for much of my life...

Ripley, GB - (WARNING: SEXUALLY GRAPHIC)- I stood in my front door and witnessed a craft hovering over the house across the street it was probably 100 feet away. I heard no sound and thought at first it was a satalite or just a star. I was talking to the object and as I watched someone walked down the street on my side of the road. The object descended below the house until the person had passed by and then returned to its original position about a metre above the house and behind it. I immediately ran upstairs and returned with a large knife and I held the knife in my hands with my hands outstretched in front of me. I layed the knife on the ground in a gesture of peace as if I was laying down arms. I have been visited by gray aliens for much of my life and it is always a thrill to see a ufo in the flesh. I have seen about four ufo's and also voices in my head once told me to go outside if I wanted to see something and I walked up the street and saw a shooting star that they had probably been tracking. anyway back to the story... I stood outside my house for about five minutes more and the ufo finally rose up into the sky and disappeared... I really think these type of aliens are here to help us on earth... I think they despise the use of nuclear bombs and they cannot stay on the surface of this planet long because of fungi and bacteria... they are making some of their children into humanoids very much like us however they want their children to lay eggs... I once had an experience of how male grays look after their eggs the female has a vagina where our belly button is and the males suck the eggs out of this hole and clean them in their mouths before returning them to the vagina I am unsure if the eggs are fertilised in this way or if they are merely maintaining the health of the infant grays... Once I was taken to a base where I met some of their human like females and was encouraged to have sex with them.. I had three girls sit on me and they expect you to come immediately so I was unable to come with the first two girls and cried for the third girl to stay on me longer they were really stunning girls in their looks and they had strange vaginas in that they were bigger in girth than our women and the inside of their holes were covered in spikey protuberances as if to give the man grip when he enters them... I was just able to come inside the third girl but I did notice that the girls seemed to lack self esteem despite being absolutely amazing to look at... I felt they thought they were not good enough when I didn't come immediately... I think their vaginas were this size so they can push out eggs with babys inside...I guess you would know their babys because they would not have belly buttons when they break from the eggshell... I have also noticed that they don't like how we eat eggs perhaps because they are scared that they may be used like chickens.. I know this would not happen and I hope you agree with me...
thank-you for listening... Martin - MUFON CMS

Nazi Hideout Found in Argentina

Buenos Aires (AFP) - An Argentine archaeologist who discovered what he thinks was a hideout built for German Nazis to flee to after World War II said more dark secrets may be buried there.

Daniel Schavelzon grabbed headlines and revived uncomfortable memories for Argentina, a notorious refuge for Nazi war criminals, when he went public at the weekend with his discovery of mysterious ruins deep in the jungle that he suspects were planned as a Nazi hideout.

Excavating at the three stone buildings, his team found a swastika etched in the ruins, German coins stamped with the Nazi symbol and a fragment of porcelain plate bearing the inscription "Made in Germany."

But research at the site has only just begun, said Schavelzon, head of the urban archaeology center at the University of Buenos Aires.

"We brought out lots of material to study and there's more to excavate," he told AFP.

"Analyzing the material could take many months. It's even possible there are other buildings we still haven't found. It's a complicated area to work in, with lots of vegetation, impenetrable."

He said he needed to find more funding to continue researching the ruins.

Schavelzon spent two weeks excavating at the site, which is located in the Teyu Cuare provincial park in northern Argentina, near the border with Paraguay.

He suspects it was part of a project to build shelters for top Nazi leaders in rugged, inaccessible locations with easy escape routes.

"These buildings date from the mid-20th century. At that time, nobody could reach this spot. It was all jungle. That shows the secrecy of the place," said Schavelzon.

"In five minutes you can get to another country. You cross the river and you're in Paraguay. It's a strategic, very well thought-out site."

The nearest town, San Ignacio, some 60 kilometers (35 miles) away, did not exist then, he said.

The buildings were made from large stones typical in the area, with high foundations, he said. One, situated higher than the others, appears to have been a lookout post.

Ultimately, however, Nazi leaders did not need a remote Argentine hideout.

"They didn't need to go into hiding deep in the jungle since they ended up living in Argentina with impunity and protection. They had passports and even used their real names," said Schavelzon.

Thousands of Nazis, Italian fascists and Croatian Ustasha fled to Argentina with the blessing of late president Juan Peron, according to the Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Center.

In 1960, Adolf Eichmann, one of the masterminds of the Holocaust, was captured in Buenos Aires by an Israeli commando team and tried in Israel, where he was executed.

Other Nazis who sought refuge in Argentina include Joseph Mengele, the Auschwitz death camp doctor who performed atrocious experiments on prisoners; Josef Schwammberger, a concentration camp commander; and Erich Priebke, an SS officer convicted of massacring civilians whose death in Rome in 2013 sparked an international dispute.

Argentina also has the largest Jewish community in Latin America, at about 300,000. - Yahoo

Shape-Shifting Frog Discovered in Ecuadorian Andes

Found in the Ecuadorian Andes, the unique species is able to perfectly blend in with almost anything.

Chameleons are well known for being able to change their skin coloration as a way to camouflage themselves, but now a frog discovered in Ecuador may be able to give even these masters of disguise a run for their money thanks to its unique ability to change the actual texture of its skin to match the terrain it is sitting on.

Found within the Reserva Las Gralarias, a nature reserve situated in the western Andean cloud forest, the new amphibian is thought to be the first species ever to exhibit this shape-shifting ability.

Researcher Katherine Krynak, who discovered the frog while on an expedition with her husband, described how they had originally believed that they had picked up the wrong creature when it seemed to change from spiky to smooth-skinned when placed on a sheet of plastic.

"I then put the frog back in the cup and added some moss," she said. "The spines came back... we simply couldn't believe our eyes, our frog changed skin texture !"

It is thought that this ability may help the frogs to protect themselves against predators.

"The spines and coloration help them blend into mossy habitats, making it hard for us to see them," said Krynak. "But whether the texture really helps them elude predators still needs to be tested." - EurekaAlert

Vatican Astronomers Ramp Up Their Search For “Brother Extraterrestrial”

(Before It's News)

Vatican Astronomers Ramp Up Their Search For “Brother Extraterrestrial”

BY MICHAEL SNYDER · MARCH 26, 2014

Why in the world is the Vatican searching for extraterrestrial life?  Does the Catholic hierarchy know something about alien life that the rest of us do not?  Why is the largest religious organization on the planet spending so much time and energy looking for “brother extraterrestrial”?  Earlier this month, the Vatican Observatory cosponsored a major conference on extraterrestrial life that brought together 200 of the leading astrobiologists in the world.  One of the organizers stated that one of the goals of the conference was to figure out “how we can find life among the stars within the next two decades“.  Certainly it would not be unusual for a group of astronomers and astrobiologists to get together and discuss such things.  But why is the Vatican seemingly obsessed with this stuff?  As you will see below, there are some high profile Vatican astronomers that seem quite confident that “something” is out there.  In fact, one has stated that once it is revealed, “everything we think we know” may have to “be thrown out”.

Normally, a conference that brings together several hundred scientists is not going to make headline news.  What makes this one different is the involvement of the Vatican.  The following is how this conference was described on NASA’s website…

• Motivated by the rapidly increasing number of known Earth-sized planets, the increasing range of extreme conditions in which life on Earth can persist, and the progress toward a technology that will ultimately enable the search for life on exoplanets, the Vatican Observatory and the Steward Observatory announce a major conference entitled The Search for Life Beyond the Solar System: Exoplanets, Biosignatures & Instruments.
• The goal of the conference is to bring together the interdisciplinary community required to address this multi-faceted challenge: experts on exoplanet observations, early and extreme life on Earth, atmospheric biosignatures, and planet-finding telescopes.

In recent years, the Vatican has really taken a position of leadership in the search for extraterrestrial life.  The current head of the Vatican Observatory, José Gabriel Funes, does not believe that there is any conflict between his faith and his search for life beyond this world…

• José Gabriel Funes, an Argentine Jesuit priest and astronomer, and the current director of the Vatican Observatory says there is no conflict between believing in God and in the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations perhaps more evolved than humans.
• “In my opinion this possibility exists,” said the Reverend José Gabriel Funes, current director of the Vatican Observatory and a scientific adviser to Pope Benedict XVI, referring to life on other planets.

In fact, Funes sounds quite optimistic about the possibility of finding “brother extraterrestrial” someday…

• Asked if he was referring to beings similar to humans or even more evolved than humans, he said: “Certainly, in a universe this big you can’t exclude this hypothesis.”
• “Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures on earth, there can be other beings, even intelligent, created by God. This is not in contrast with our faith because we can’t put limits on God’s creative freedom. Why can’t we speak of a ‘brother extraterrestrial’? It would still be part of creation.”
• Funes, who runs the observatory that is based south of Rome and in Arizona, held out the possibility that the human race might actually be the “lost sheep” of the universe. There could be other beings “who remained in full friendship with their creator,” he said.

Wow.

So Funes is actually suggesting that when we do encounter extraterrestrial beings, they may not have fallen into sin like humanity has.

The implications of this are staggering.  Just check out what researcher Tom Horn recently had to say about this…

• This is an argument that they continue to make and they’re becoming more and more adamant about it, that what we know about ourselves is that we are fallen, right? But we cannot necessarily assume the same thing about our space brethren, and if they’re unfallen, they’re closer to God than we are. Therefore they have a better understanding of the Gospel and of the Godhead and of the nature of God. And when they started out three years ago, Funes was saying “I’d like to baptize an alien into the Catholic faith.” Well that’s not what they’re saying today. What they’re saying now is that they [aliens] are coming here and they’re going to baptize us into their faith and it is going to require us to make changes to our knowledge, to our understanding, of the Gospel. In fact, some of their deepest theologians have said, “Perhaps everything we think we know about the Gospel is going to have to be thrown out.”

Another prominent Vatican astronomer, Guy Consolmagno, has publicly suggested that aliens could actually be the “saviors of humankind“…

• Captivating comments from Jesuit priests like Guy Consolmagno—a leading astronomer who often turns up in media as a spokesman for the Vatican who has worked at NASA and taught at Harvard and MIT and who currently splits his time between the Vatican Observatory and laboratory (Specola Vaticana) headquartered at the summer residence of the Pope in Castel Gandolfo, Italy, and Mt. Graham in Arizona. Over the last few years, he has focused so much of his time and effort in an attempt to reconcile science and religion in public forums specifically as it relates to the subject of extraterrestrial life and its potential impact on the future of faith that we decided to contact him. He agreed to be interviewed from Rome, and over the numerous exchanges that followed he told us some things that seemed beyond the scope. He even sent us a copy of a private pdf, a literal goldmine of what he and the Vatican are considering regarding the ramifications of astrobiology and specifically the discovery of advanced extraterrestrials… in which he admits how contemporary societies will soon “look to The Aliens to be the Saviours of humankind.”

So if aliens showed up and wanted to show us a “new way”, would society be willing to accept it?

Well, the truth is that even hardcore atheist Richard Dawkins is willing to theorize that aliens could have “seeded” life on this planet…

So what would happen someday if “aliens” showed up and claimed that they seeded life on this planet, guided our evolution and are now here to lead us into a new golden age?

And what would happen if the Catholic Church gave those aliens their stamp of approval?

That sounds absolutely bizarre, but there are very important Vatican officials that are apparently thinking very hard about these things.

The X-Files returns

(Before It's News)

openminds.tv

Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) with Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovney).

Fox announced yesterday that Mulder and Scully will return for a six episode run of The X-Files beginning this summer. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will be back as Mulder and Scully, and will not doubt be caught up in an abundance of high strangeness.

The show’s creator, Chris Carter, told the Associated Press the show should do better than ever because, “the good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger.”

This increased “stangeness” might be due to the success of The X-Files in the first place. It premiered in 1993, a time that many UFO researchers consider an all time lull for public interest in UFOs. With the growth in popularity of The X-Files, and their hunt for the ever allusive aliens, it is not too far fetched to credit The X-Files with helping to re-ignite the public’s interest in UFOs.

UFO researchers, and those who like to watch interviews with UFO researchers, are well – perhaps even painfully – aware that 99% of the time a news broadcast broaches the topic of UFOs they feel compelled to play The X-Files theme music. With all of the UFO documentaries on the air now, Carter is probably right that now is as good a time as any to reintroduce The X-Files.

Gillian Anderson and David Duchovney on the cover of Entertainment Weekly in 2013.

The question some are asking is if there is so much enthusiasm about bringing the show back, then why only produce six episodes?

Merrill Barr, a Forbes contributor that covers the television business, has an idea about that. He notes that Fox recently made a lucrative deal with Amazon for the streaming rights to the hit show 24. He posits that Fox‘s real intention is not to give fans more X-Files, but to reinvigorate the X-Files franchise, putting Fox in a good position to be able to broker another lucrative deal for The X-Files streaming rights.

Either way, the public will be in for more UFOs, alien abductions, and a number of other paranormal related topics. Most articles about the return of the show seem to be expressing a craving for the return to the alien themed story lines. Themes such as what happened to Mulder’s sister who was apparently abducted by aliens, and what happened to the cabal who was tasked with keeping the alien secrets, or what is up with the black oil that turned people into aliens, and the faceless aliens that may or may not be related to the alien bounty hunters, and so on and so on.

These six episodes have a lot to cover, and this summer we will find out if the final (?) chapter of The X-Files story will satisfy the needs of a hungry audience clamoring for more – count me among them.

Een asteroïde met een diameter van een kilometer zal volgens NASA vrijdag relatief dicht langs de Aarde passeren. Het object met de naam '2014-YB35' beweegt zich aan 37.000 kilometer per uur door de ruimte. Hoewel het niet ongebruikelijk is dat kleine meteorieten langs de Aarde scheren, vormt de omvang van deze asteroïde een bedreiging. Een impact met de Aarde zou aardbevingen en tsunami's veroorzaken.

UK Ministry of Defence Helicopter Chases UFOs Above English Town

A family witnessed four UFOs during a barbecue activity outdoor. Interestingly, a Ministry of Defence helicopter also became part of the scene when it appeared to chase these mysterious aerial objects in the skies above the English town of Bolton.

Andrea Finney, who was with her husband Nigel and their son, first noticed the UFOs in the sky. She alerted her family about them and asked her husband to grab a camera. Nigel managed to snap a few photos of the unusual aerial activity. But only one photo made available online.

Furthermore, only one UFO in a distance seems to appear in the picture. Nigel explained that the camera he was using doesn’t have a good zoom feature, but no explanation as to why only one UFO was captured in the photograph.

The witnesses assert that after the UFOs had zoomed off, they noticed an MOD helicopter pursuing these strange aerial things.

Nigel said that they could not explain the aerial activity. He ruled out hot air balloons, Chinese lanterns and any known aircraft.

Andrea added that they were the strangest aerial objects she had seen in her entire life. She was just gobsmacked.

It’s not clear on what day and time the sighting happened, but it definitely startled the witnesses.

Grounbreaking Research: Scientist Terminated for Proving Dinosaurs and Humans Walked the Earth Together

Traditional history suggests that dinosaurs and humans never crossed paths because their existence on earth was separated by tens of millions of years.

But a new discovery by scientist Mark Armitage of the California State University may well turn the history of human civilization upside down.

Armitage was recently on a dig in Montana when he came across the largest triceratops horn ever unearthed. Upon further examination of the unique specimen with a high-powered microscope Armitage discovered something that no scientist had ever seen on a dinosaur sample before – soft tissue.

When he published his findings his colleagues were stunned, because the existence of soft tissue, which should degrade and disappear over millions of years, suggests that dinosaurs didn’t go extinct 60 million years ago, but rather, were alive and well in North America just several thousand years ago.

One would think that such a notable discovery would lead to more research into the possibility that humans and dinosaurs may have co-existed at one point in time. But that’s far from what happened.

Armitrage’s funding was pulled, his research was silenced and his job at CSU was terminated.

Apparently, the researcher’s findings were so significant that the board of trustees at the university feared it would too closely mesh science with religion.

One university official even made it a point to let Armitrage know why he was let go. “We are not going to tolerate your religion in this department,” he was quoted as saying.

The official’s statement stems from the notion that the history of the Christian Bible is roughly 6,000 to 10,000 years old, a point that some scientists often use to laugh off any possibility that there is truth to it. Scientists argue that since the bones of dinosaurs are over 60 million years old, the Bible couldn’t possibly hold a shred of truth because the creation story told in the first book of Genesis is, at most, just ten thousand years.

But the new discovery may shed light on the mysterious creatures mentioned in the Bible’s Old Testament. The earlier books of the bible may not have mentioned Triceratops or other dinosaurs by name, but they do make reference to tanniyn and behemoth, interpreted by some scholars as a large serpent, reptile, dragon, or even sea-monster.

These creatures did, indeed, cross paths with humans accordingly to the historical record detailed in the Christian Bible.

Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox. Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly. He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron.

Job 40:15-18

Yet, up until now, no hard scientific research confirmed that such large animals with reptile-like skin existed.

Armitrage’s discovery of soft tissue adds physical evidence to biblical record. And apparently, that threatened an upheaval in the scientific community, subsequently leading to Armitrage’s termination.

A press release from the Pacific Justice Institute argues that Armitrage was terminated on the basis of religion for sharing a controversial theory and providing evidence for such:

“Terminating an employee because of their religious views is completely inappropriate and illegal,” commented Brad Dacus, President of PJI. “But doing so in an attempt to silence scientific speech at a public university is even more alarming. This should be a wakeup call and warning to the entire world of academia,” he continued.

While at a dig at Hell Creek formation in Montana, the scientist, Mark Armitage, came upon the largest triceratops horn ever unearthed at the site. When examining the horn under a high-powered microscope back at CSUN, Armitage was fascinated to see the soft tissue. The discovery stunned members of the scientific community because it indicates that dinosaurs roamed the earth only thousands of years in the past rather than going extinct 60 million years ago.

According to court documents, shortly after the original soft tissue discovery, a university official challenged the motives of Armitage, by shouting at him, “We are not going to tolerate your religion in this department!”

Armitage, a published scientist of over 30 years, was subsequently let go after CSUN abruptly claimed his appointment at the university of 38 months had been temporary, and claimed a lack of funding for his position. This was news to him, and contradicted prior statements and documents from the university.

Michael Peffer, staff attorney with PJI’s southern California office said, “It has become apparent that ‘diversity’ and ‘intellectual curiosity,’ so often touted as hallmarks of a university education, do not apply to those with a religious point of view. This suit was filed, in part, to vindicate those ideals.”

PJI / Daily Paul via Steve Quayle

Scientists often claim that no evidence or data prove the stories in the bible ever actually happened. Now, a veteran researcher with over three decades of experience has confirmed that dinosaurs were likely alive during the age of humans. Yet, because it doesn’t follow the traditional narrative and threatens scores of other theories, the physical evidence is shunned, thrown aside, and dismissed as religious extremism.

Apparently, a scientist can no longer be a scientists if he subscribes to the stories shared in the bible or if he believes in God.

UFO sighting: Family 'gobsmacked' as four mysterious objects zoomed across sky during BBQ - chased by 'MOD helicopter'

Pursuit: The family claim they saw a helicopter chasing the UFOs   

A family claim their barbecue was interrupted by four UFOs 'zooming across the sky' - quickly followed by a Ministry of Defence helicopter.

Andrea Finney, from Bolton, Lancashire, was enjoying a pleasant outdoor family meal with her husband Nigel and their son when the mysterious event left them spooked.

The 48-year-old, who works in property management, told Mirror Online: "There were four of them, and they zoomed across the sky.

"You just had to be there to see it, it was the strangest thing I have ever seen in my life.

"They zoomed off after we spotted them, and the craziest thing was that they were then followed by a Ministry of Defence helicopter.

"I was just gobsmacked."

Upon seeing the UFOs, she alerted her husband Nigel to get a camera.

The 50-year-old delivery driver said: "I took photos as quick as I could.

"We just could not explain it. They were not hot air baloons. They were not Chinese laterns. They were just something else.

Nigel Finney

"Our camera does not have a good zoom on it or anything - it is just a normal camera, so we took what we could but afterwards we just could not explain it.

"It's a mystery."
