Locations of flying saucers in Oregon: Map created to spot UFO activity in the U.S.A.
Locations of flying saucers in Oregon: Map created to spot UFO activity in the U.S.A.
UFO hotspots are locations where numerous UFO sightings occurred. Many people have actually witnessed UFO sightings and similar paranormal events throughout the world. From flashing lights to odd objects, footage of UFO sightings is flooding increasingly in Oregon. These facts are now well known and some authorities have confirmed in releasing some of their UFO files. Recently, new map details were released per capita across U.S. Like any other Western states, Oregon was believed to be the hot spot for any UFO activities.
The Mutual UFO Network is a non-profit organization in America designed to investigate cases of UFO sightings allegedly reported. Basically, the team will gather data without proving or disproving individual sightings. The organization has 3,000 members worldwide, with the majority of its members is situated in the United States.
The Figures
According to the map’s findings, Lake County in Oregon has garnered as the most eventful spot for any UFO activities, reaching 116.9 sightings for every 100,000 individuals, the lowest is the Polk County having 9.2 sightings. Some spots include Multnomah County who has 39.9 sightings, and Clackamas County at 25 sightings. In every 100,000 people in Yamhill County, approximately 25.1 UFO sightings were seen, which is fairly low in Oregon, but higher than the national average.
Oregon was attracting visitors of a different kind. Not only the term “flying saucer” was coined in 1947, but also the 1950’s two UFO photographs taken at the Trent farm nearby McMinnville.
Thousands of curious diehards, experts, and onlookers will join on McMinnville for the 13th annual UFO Festival on May 14 to 17. After Roswell, New Mexico’s event, the annual UFO Festival was the second-most popular celebration in the world. The purpose is to commemorate the controversial and most famous flying saucer event. Experts and enthusiasts will visit the town for lectures, and entertainment wearing the big UFO Costume Parade.
HOW THE MILKY WAY GOT ITS NAME AND WHAT IT’S CALLED IN OTHER LANGUAGES
HOW THE MILKY WAY GOT ITS NAME AND WHAT IT’S CALLED IN OTHER LANGUAGES
Today I found out why our galaxy is called the Milky Way and what it’s called in other languages.
No, it has nothing to do with the candy bar. Like many words we use today, the English name of our galaxy is derived from its Latin name: Via Lactea. Translated, that means “the road of milk.” The Romans actually got the name from the Greeks, who called our galaxy “galaxias kyklos” or “milky circle.” Incidentally, the Greek name is also where we get the term “galaxy.”
No one knows exactly who came up with the name, but it isn’t difficult to see how the name came about. From Earth, at least if you’re well outside the boundaries of city lights, our galaxy looks something like a band of milky light over a black background, as we are viewing it on it’s side and the billions of distant stars in our galaxy create a nice visible band of light.
As for why the ancient Greeks called it the “milky circle,” the myth goes that Zeus brought Heracles to Hera to suckle when she was sleeping. Hera was in conflict with the little infant, as you would be if your husband brought home a half-mortal child that wasn’t yours. As baby Heracles was having his meal, Hera woke up suddenly and pushed him away, resulting in a few drops of spilt milk. The drops created the galaxy that is now known as the Milky Way.
Various other languages have translations of “Milky Way” as the name of the galaxy, such as the German “Milchstrasse” and the Norwegian “Melkeveien.” There are, however, many other mythological origin stories that explain the various alternate names of the Milky Way in other languages.
In Finland, the Milky Way is called “Linnunrata,” or “path of the birds.” In Finnish Mythology, the world was formed from a waterfowl’s egg bursting. The sky was the shell of the egg, and the Earth as we know it was flat. At the edges of the Earth was “Lintukoto,” or the home of the birds. Lintukoto was a warm region where birds migrated during the winter. The band of light that the Greeks thought of as milk was, according to the Finns, the path that the birds took on their way to Lintukoto. Thus, it’s Linnunrata, “path of the birds.”
Armenia has a different idea about the Milky Way. There, it’s called hard goghi chanaparh, or “Straw Thief’s Way.” The story goes that the god Vahagn stole cartloads of straw Barsham, the Assyrian King, and took it to Armenia during a particularly cold winter. To get there, he fled across the Heavens and dropped some straw on the way, making the Milky Way.
Likewise, the Milky Way is called various forms of “straw way” in several other languages across Central Asia and Africa. It’s Ça Taxina Taça in Chechen, or “the route of scattered straw;” traditionally “kumova slama” or “Godfather’s Straw” in Croatian, though Milky Way is also used now in Croatia; and samanyolu or “road of straw” in Turkish. It’s likely that Arabs heard the story in Armenia first and spread the name to various other lands.
In many northern countries, the Milky Way is called the “Winter Way,” such as the Icelandic “vetrarbrautin,” the alternative Norwegian “vinterbrauta,” and the Swedish “vintergatan.” The reason for this is thought to be because, in the Northern Hemisphere, the Milky Way is more visible during the winter.
In much of East Asia, the galaxy is referred to as the “Silver River.” A Chinese legend says that once upon a time, there was a beautiful young maiden named the Goddess Weaver, the daughter of the Celestial Queen Mother. One day, a Buffalo Boy was tending his herd when he spied the Goddess Weaver bathing in a nearby lake. The two instantly fell in love, and were soon married and produced two children. But the Celestial Queen Mother grew jealous of their love and stole the Goddess Weaver away. When the Buffalo Boy pursued them, the Queen took out a pin and drew a silver river between them so that they would be separated forever. That silver river was the Milky Way. In Japan and Korea “silver river” means galaxies in general, not just the Milky Way.
In Spanish, the Milky Way is called a few different things. First, via lactea, or the Milky Way.Camino de Santiago means the “Road of Santiago” or “Road to Santiago,” and was used for the Milky Way because pilgrims used it to guide them to Santiago de Compostela, a holy site.Compostela is the third way to say the name of the galaxy, and this one is perhaps the most accurate of all the different names. It literally means “the field of stars.”
Explanation: Have you ever seen the band of our Milky Way Galaxy? Chances are you have never seen it like this — nor could you. In a clear sky from a dark location at the right time, a faint band of light is visible across the sky. This band is the disk of our spiral galaxy. Since we are inside this disk, the band appears to encircle the Earth. The above spectacular picture of the Milky Way arch, however, goes where the unaided eye cannot. The image is actually a deep digital fusion of nine photos that create a panorama fully 360 across. Taken recently in Teide National Park inTenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, the image includes the Teide volcano, visible near the image center, behind a volcanic landscape that includes many large rocks. Far behind these Earthly structures are many sky wonders that are visible to the unaided eye, such as the band of the Milky Way, the bright waxing Moon inside the arch, and the Pleiades open star cluster (can you find it?). The deep exposure also brings out many sky wonders normally beyond human perception, many of which are labelled on the annotated image version, including Barnard’s Loop, visible above as the half red ring below the Milky Way band.
Bonus Facts:
A popular festival in Japan is Tanabata, a star festival. The festival has its origins in the “Silver River” myth. On the seventh day of the seventh month each year, the Goddess Weaver and the Buffalo Boy are allowed to meet for just one day. The people celebrate with a day off work or school, and they write wishes on pieces of paper which are then hung from trees. In some cities, people light lanterns to float in nearby rivers. It’s likely that the celebration got its start in China some 2000 years ago before it migrated to Japan, where it really kicked off.
The Milky Way is thought to contain over 100 billion stars, and could contain up to 400 billion. It’s about 100,000 light years across.
Along with orbiting around the Sun at 66,600 mph, the Earth is also rotating at its axis at about 1,070 miles per hour. So you are simultaneously hurtling around the sun at 66,600 mph while sitting on a rock that is spinning at 1,070 mph. On top of that, our whole solar system is rocketing through space around the center of the Milky Way at around 559,234 mph. On top of that, our galaxy is hurtling through space at around 671,080 mph, with respect to our local group of galaxies. On top of that, for all we know, our entire Universe is hurtling through some unknown medium at some other ridiculous speed.
The most common star in our galaxy is the red dwarf, which is about 1/10 the mass of the sun. Around half the stars are older than the sun, which needs some 4.5 billion candles on its next birthday cake.
New Revolutionary Theory Claims Dark Energy Will Eventually ‘Swallow’ the Universe
New Revolutionary Theory Claims Dark Energy Will Eventually ‘Swallow’ the Universe
An international research team came up with a new shocking theory about the possible future of the universe suggesting that the mysterious dark energy “swallows” the not less mysterious dark matter. According to the study authors, in case their theory is right, we will “end up with a big, empty and boring Universe with almost nothing in it.”
There are two popular theories about the possible end of the universe and both are based on the hypothesis that our universe is expanding. The first theory states that the accelerating expansion of the universe will result in galaxies getting further from each other and steadily cooling down until the universe becomes a totally dark and cold world. The second theory called “Big Crunch” claims that this expansion will eventually cause a collapse of the Universe, which will end as a black hole singularity. Now, it seems that there is another, third theory. To better understand it, let’s first take a closer look at dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter, which owes its name to the fact that it does not emit or reflect radiation, was discovered in the 1930s, when it was found that the mass of the visible matter was not enough to explain the gravitational effects of galaxies. In fact, the matter that forms planets, galaxies and all the celestial bodies in the universe corresponds only to 16% of the total matter in the Universe, while the remaining 84% corresponds to the dark matter. For several decades, the prevailing cosmological theory claimed that the expansion of the universe is slowing down. It has to do with the fact that the attracting force of gravity, which is the dominant physical interaction, has been slowing down the expansion of the universe since the Big Bang.
However, two research teams, the Supernova Cosmology Project and the High Z Supernova Team, shocked the scientific community when they presented the results of their calculations in 1998. Having made more precise measurements of the rate of the expansion of the Universe, the researchers found that, in fact, it is accelerating! Then it was concluded that, in order to explain this accelerating expansion, the total mass and energy of the Universe must be dominated by an unknown gravitationally repulsive energy. This is what is called “dark energy” and what still remains unknown to science. According to the new theory, which was published in the journal «Physical Review Letters», dark energy interacts with dark matter, as a result of which dark matter is evaporating slowly but steadily. Thus, if the theory is valid, it will take many billions of years for galaxies and the rest of the universe to disappear. “This study is about the fundamental properties of space-time. On a cosmic scale, this is about our Universe and its fate. If the dark energy is growing and dark matter is evaporating we will end up with a big, empty, boring Universe with almost nothing in it,” says David Wands, director of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth and a member of the research team.

Finding an intelligent alien civilization would easily rank among the most profound discoveries in human history.
So far, though, there are no signs of communicating extraterrestrial life, no messages from the stars suggesting that humans are not alone in the universe. Maybe, some scientists argue, it’s time for us to take a more active role in the interstellar conversation. Instead of simply eavesdropping on the cosmos as we’ve done for the past half-century, perhaps Earth should begin transmitting messages to the stars – big, blazing telegrams meant to prompt an extraterrestrial reply.
But actively sending signals into the cosmos is more than a slightly controversial idea. Recently, a statement posted online asserted that messaging extraterrestrial intelligence (METI) carries “unknown and potentially enormous implications and consequences.” Signed by a number of well-known scientists – and people such as Elon Musk – the missive asks that a vigorous international debate take place before any new messages are sent.
“We should launch active SETI as an ongoing complement to our traditional passive SETI projects,” said Doug Vakoch, director of interstellar message composition at the SETI Institute. “It’s a matter of diversifying our search strategies.”
But undertaking a targeted interstellar messaging campaign without considering the potential consequences is foolish, argued astrophysicist and science fiction author David Brin. The seeming lone voice of dissent among the convened panelists, Brin noted that attracting the attention of an unknown advanced civilization could bring potentially disastrous results. And, he said, it’s impossible to predict whether aliens are going to play nice or be real jerks.
“This is the only really important scientific field without any subject matter,” Brin said. “It’s an area in which opinion rules, and everyone has a very fierce opinion.”
Right now, there are no official messages waiting in Earth’s interstellar outbox. But Vakoch and others are floating the suggestion of using the Arecibo Observatory’s mega-powerful transmitter to send a series of messages in the down time between the observatory’s other studies. It wouldn’t cost much at all, and it would join the ongoing campaigns to listen for alien transmissions. While the question of what to include in those messages is obviously important, it’s taking a backseat to the issue of whether those messages should be sent at all.
“Active SETI, I gotta admit, is a controversial topic,” Vakoch remarked.
Despite the ongoing controversy, it wouldn’t be the first time interstellar messages have been beamed into space. A handful of transmissions have already left Earth’s shores and set sail across the cosmos. Perhaps the best known of these messages was sent from Arecibo in 1974, as part of a ceremony marking the completion of an upgrade to the giant radio telescope. Composed by astronomer Frank Drake, the message has been hurtling through space at the speed of light, destined to intersect in 25,000 years with a globular star cluster in the constellation Hercules.
And then there’s all the stuff that’s wafting into space without any such effort from Earthlings. These murmurs from Earth include the high frequency chirping of military radars, TV and radio transmissions, and the interplanetary radar used to study numerous asteroids in the solar system. Recently, technologies like cell phones and cable TV have turned Earth into a slightly quieter pale blue dot, but for many decades, our intra-planetary communications were easily leaking into space.
True, those signals are much harder to detect than a blast of directed radio waves from Arecibo, but SETI Institute senior astronomer Seth Shostak argued that any civilization advanced enough to show up and annihilate the planet is also advanced enough to detect those murmurs. In fact, he notes, our technology isn’t too far from being able to do the same. “We are within one or two centuries of being able to find the equivalent of ourselves,” he said.
In other words, it’s too late to shut up and hide.
But Brin isn’t buying it. And he bristles at the suggestion that he and his colleagues are simply worried about “slathering Cardassian invaders.” Instead, he implores, wouldn’t it make more sense to have a conversation about the potential ramifications of METI before we begin shouting into the void?
It does seem like a conversation is beginning to take place.
At the meeting, several panelists attempted to cut through the supposition and opinion by drawing analogies between METI and other controversies. Astrobiologist David Grinspoon noted the obvious link between METI and NASA’s Planetary Protection Office, created to prevent biological contaminants from being passed between Earth and other solar system bodies. “That’s a discussion that’s been had internationally, and I think that’s quite relevant here,” Grinspoon said. He also noted that fears of extraterrestrial intelligences with nefarious intent are not dissimilar to concerns about the motivations of artificial intelligence.
“That certainly presents an existential threat. It may be tiny — people have different opinions on it – but how are we dealing with that?” Grinspoon asked, noting that no one has shut down artificial intelligence research.
Later, federal judge David Tatel offered the rather salient observation that this debate is not unlike the controversy swirling around dual-use research on harmful pathogens, where learning more about nasty viruses could be used to engineer an especially potent bioweapon. And noted similarities with the current debate over geoengineering and how to combat climate change.
“Both of these have similarities with active SETI,” he said. “Both could produce great benefits or have catastrophic consequences.”
Cet article fait suite à celui présentant la mini-planète nommée Cérès, actuellement visitée par la sonde Dawn, qui se mettra en orbite autour le 06 mars 2015. Vous trouverez ici des images transmises par la sonde, via la NASA et le site de JPL et découvrirez les paysages étranges de cet astre pas si froid et plein d'eau si l'on en croit la NASA. Nous aurons aussi des éclaircissements sur ces surprenants points très brillants au fur et à mesure de l'affinement des images. Déjà, celles prises le 04 février 2015 nous apportent des images étranges de cet astre qui semble très raviné, avec un relief assez chaotique. Il semble y avoir des montagnes très élevées, bordant des cavités non moins profondes et il est possible que ce soit de la glace ou de la neige (carbonique ?) qui reflète ainsi le lointain soleil (ou un reflet de la grande Jupiter ?) suivant les orbites assez rapides de la petite planète. Il y aurait également une atmosphère peu dense mais qui pourrait gêner l’appréciation réelle du relief avec la distance. Des configurations apparemment rectangulaires ou carrées semblent faire parties de bugs de l'imagerie dus à la distance (145.000 kilomètres au 04-02-2015) de la sonde mais on devine néanmoins un relief très tourmenté, de nombreux cratères d'impacts et des pics ou montagnes assez élevées, couronnés ou non de matières blanches. Nous pouvons aussi voir, autour de Cérès, quelques autres astéroïdes de la ceinture dans laquelle elle se trouve. A cette distance, on ne voit que les plus gros et l'impression est que la ceinture n'est pas si "resserrée" que ça, les collisions doivent être rares maintenant à priori. Le gros point lumineux ayant intrigué les astronomes depuis des générations semble être au sommet d'une grande montagne ayant une forme un peu rectangulaire et comportant une grosse couche de matière blanche. Il pourrait s'agir de reliquats de la couche de glace originelle de Cérès, comme décrit dans le précédent article, encore en train de se sublimer, ou d'un gros volcan de glace... Il semble y avoir plusieurs pointes ou élévations sur ce sommet. On peut aussi deviner de profonds trous aux endroits les plus sombres, provoqués par d'anciennes collisions et donnant peut-être sur un océan gelé en profondeur.
Sur cette capture, j'ai indiqué un probable astéroïde voisin de Cérès en bas à gauche et aussi ce qui ressemble à un grand pic bordant un cratère en bas à gauche. On peut voir en haut le principal point lumineux de la mini planète, qui semble perché en haut d'un gros monticule crevassé. Il pourrait s'agir d'un volcan de glace ou d'une montagne créée par un impact (juste à ses pieds), avec donc un mélange de matières à son sommet. Il existe d'autres élévations brillantes de ce type mais il semble que celle-ci soit la plus haute... Il semble aussi qu'il y ait plusieurs sources de lumières car on a dans ces images une sorte d'éclipse d'ombre, à priori lorsque la planète passe devant le soleil, mais les points lumineux semblent éclairés par une autre source que le Soleil à cet instant... il serait intéressant de voir la taille de Jupiter vu de cet endroit et voir si le reflet du soleil sur Jupiter ne se reflète pas sur cette planète par moment, par effet de miroir (cela pourrait d'ailleurs aussi réchauffer un peu le petit astre).
MAJ du 13-03-2015 :Tout s'est bien passé pour la phase de capture gravitationnelle de la sonde par la mini-planète mais, également comme prévu, ce n'est pas avant un mois que la sonde sera en bonne position pour se satelliser de façon stable et reprendre des photos de qualité. En effet, une panne causée par un rayon cosmique d'un des trois moteurs ioniques de la sonde (qui est tout de même toujours à la point du progrès depuis 8 ans et son départ) a retardé et obligé la sonde a s'éloigner plus que prévu à l'origine, sans toutefois compromettre la mission : la satellisation n'aura lieu que le 10 avril 2015 et en attendant, la sonde fait un grand détour arrondi, tout en accompagnant la mini-planète derrière le Soleil par rapport à la Terre, interrompant les communications provisoirement. La sonde s'est tout de même approchée à moins de 49.000 kilomètres de la mini-planète avant de s'en éloigner à nouveau, pour pouvoir mieux revenir et se satelliser ensuite. Une nouvelle série de photographies a été prise à l'occasion de cette approche permettant sa capture gravitationnelle (et son demi-tour prochain par une orbite arrondie) et la clarté des images n'a pas pour autant révélé ce qu'était cette lumière puissante vue depuis des années par les télescopes. Mieux, ce n'est pas une lumière qui a été photographiée, comme précédemment, mais deux maintenant, côte à côte avec l'une un peu moins puissante que l'autre. Mais le mystère demeure quant à sa nature, il faudra donc attendre encore plusieurs semaines et une meilleure définition encore des photos, voir des résultats d'analyses scientifiques grâces aux données transmises, pour comprendre ce que font ces tâches très lumineuses à l'intérieur d'un cratère apparemment (mais peut-être au sommet de quelque monticule au centre du cratère ?). Les prochaines séries de photos devraient être émises entre le 10 et le 14 avril 2015. La NASA et le directeur scientifique de la mission, Chris Russell (Ucla) sont en tout vas satisfaits du déroulement de la mission : « Nous nous sentons euphoriques, nous avons beaucoup à faire au cours de l’année et demie qui vient, mais nous sommes maintenant sur place avec d’importantes réserves et un plan solide pour obtenir des objectifs scientifiques. ». Je rappelle que la principale mission de Dawn (et avec l'étude de Vesta de juillet 2011 à septembre 2012) est de déterminer les conditions qui régnaient à l'aube de notre Système solaire, par le biais de l'analyse de deux des plus larges protoplanètes restées intactes depuis cette époque...
On note tout de même des structures géologiques étranges en haut à droite. Peut-être la perspective, il semble y avoir pas mal d'angles droits aussi avec des cratères carrés ou rectangulaires. Les luminosités les plus fortes semblent se situer sur des hauteurs par rapports aux cratères pas très réguliers. Les zones ombrées donnent une idée d'un relief assez chaotique et même de coulées assez longues (de laves ?) par endroits, mais la distance est peut-être encore trompeuse et les images encore déformées. Certaines zones semblent être plus floues que d'autres : peut-être de l'atmosphère ténue par endroits et des gaz ?
MAJ du 15-04-2015 : Comme précisé plus haut dans cet article "feuilletonnant", la sonde sera stabilisée sur une orbite à 13.500 kilomètres d'altitude vers le 23 avril 2015, date où ses études scientifiques démarreront réellement. Mais en attendant, la sonde recommence tout de même à transmettre des suites d'images, dont certaines ont été traitées avec de la couleur. L'attention s'est bien sûr surtout portée sur les étranges lueurs vives qui sont visibles de très loin dans l'espace et leur observation sous plusieurs spectres de longueur d'ondes de l'infrarouge a accentué encore un peu plus le mystére les entourant !
Tout d'abord, l'étude de la surface de la mini planète montre des différences de coloris suivant les différents matériaux qui s'y trouvent et qui s'avèrent beaucoup plus complexes et diversifiés que ce qui était attendu. On se doutait que Cérès, vu l'endroit et sa présence dans la ceinture d'astéroïdes entre Mars et Jupiter, serait criblée de cratères et donc de différents matériaux apportés par ces astéroïdes mais aussi créés par ces impacts qui métamorphoses les roches et matériaux divers. Mais les premières surprises proviennent du fait qu'il y a très peu de gros impacts et de grands cratères, mais beaucoup de diversités matérielles, comme le montre cette photo colorisée selon les matériaux ci-dessous :
Ce manque de grands cratères (ou bien marqués et assez profonds) pourrait dénoter un sol très "plastique" ou "souple", voir semi-liquide dans le passé. On pense savoir que la mini planète contiendrait beaucoup d'eau sous sa surface (sous forme d'océans liquides ou de glaciers (comme Mars ?) selon la profondeur...), ceci pourrait le confirmer déjà.
Mais les plus grosses surprises proviennent toujours des gros points lumineux ou sombres, appelés spot 1 à spot 11. Car on a surtout parlé des points lumineux mais assez peu des points "noirs", dont l'un avait d'ailleurs été appelé "Piazzi" (du nom du découvreur de Cérès) en 1995 lors de sa découverte par Hubble. Ces 11 surfaces ou points "différents" ont tous été confirmés apparemment, mais la première surprise, en attendant mieux, est leur étude sous des longueurs d'ondes infrarouges révélatrices de la température. Alors que l'on s'attendait que celle de ces points soit assez homogène et toutes semblables (en ce qui concerne les points lumineux), c'est exactement l'inverse qui a été constaté ! Par exemple, le spot 1 et le spot 5 ne se voient absolument pas pareils sous le même spectre infrarouge ! Autant le spot 1 est bien visible et plus froid que tout ce qui l'entoure, autant le spot 5 devient invisible et possède la même température que tout ce qui l'entoure ! Et pourtant ils brillent tous les deux, sous deux latitudes différentes il est vrai... :
Alors que le double point visible depuis la dernière approche de la sonde est supposé être des geysers de vapeur d'eau remontant des profondeurs de la planète (une certaine atmosphère de vapeur d'eau a été détectée près du pôle nord), la seule certitude qu'on les scientifiques à l'heure actuelle est qu'il ne peut y avoir de la glace stable sur la mini planète à cause du rayonnement solaire encore fort à cette orbite. Ces dernières nouvelles proviennent de la conférence de l'union européenne des Géosciences qui s'est tenue dans la capitale autrichienne Vienne le 13 avril, mais d'autres séries de photos sont prévues sous peu...
MAJ 16-05-2015 : Des passages rapprochés autour de la mini planète et de nouvelles photos n'ont pas éclairci le mystère de ces luminosités sur certains points de l'astre, au contraire.
Les taches lumineuses mystérieuses sur la planète naine Ceres ont une meilleure résolution sur une nouvelle série d'images prises par le vaisseau spatial Dawn les 3 et 4 mai 2015. Les images ont été prises à une distance de 8.400 milles (13.600 kilomètres).
Sur ces vues plus proches, les taches les plus lumineuses dans un cratère de l'hémisphère nord paraissent se composer de beaucoup de plus petites taches, un peu comme une mosaïque lumineuse dont on distingue de plus en plus les détails en se rapprochant. Cependant, leur nature précise demeure inconnue.
Sur cette photo, on peut voir l'un des principaux endroits où apparaissent ces points lumineux étranges (qui apparaissent même sans un éclairage direct à gauche de la planète naine, demeurent constants jusqu'à leur disparition à droite...). On peut également voir sur cette photo une très grande faille qui semble barrer une grande partie de la planète, partant du sud-est de la planète et remontant jusqu'au nord de ces taches lumineuses.
Les « scientifiques suivant Dawn peuvent maintenant conclure que l'éclat intense de ces taches est dû à la réflexion de la lumière du soleil sur un matériau fortement réfléchissant sur la surface,probablement de la glace, » a dit Christopher Russell, investigateur principal pour la mission Dawn de l'Université de Californie, Los Angeles.
On voit mieux ici les différents points lumineux et aussi la faille en question.
Ces images offrent aux scientifiques de nouvelles analyses sur les formes et les tailles des cratères, et sur une foule d'autres caractéristiques géologiques intrigantes sur la surface. La résolution de l'image est de 0,8 milles (1,3 kilomètres) par pixel.
Très étonnant non ? Ces tâches semblent presque géométriques, droites par endroits.
Ce qui peut surprendre les chercheurs, c'est que ces points lumineux semblent assez constants pour certains, quel que soit la rotation de la planète et donc leur exposition par rapport au Soleil. On peut aussi s'interroger sur les raisons pour lesquelles certains endroits semblent privilégiés dans certains cratères par rapport à d'autres. Est-ce dû au sous-sol local ou a de la matière ejectée lors des impacts ayant créé ces cratères, ou encore à des conditions atmosphériques et altitudes locales ?-

Dawn a maintenant terminé sa première orbite de cartographie, sur laquelle elle a accompli un cercle complet autour de Cérès en 15 jours, tout en faisant une foule de nouvelles observations avec ses instruments scientifiques. Le 9 mai, le vaisseau spatial a actionné son moteur à ions pour commencer une descente longue d'un mois vers sa deuxième orbite de cartographie, qu'elle commencera le 6 juin. Dans cette phase prochaine, Dawn fera le tour de Ceres environ tous les trois jours à une altitude de 2.700 milles (4.400 kilomètres) : trois fois plus étroite que l'orbite précédente. Pendant cette phase, désignée sous le nom de "l'orbite de l'enquête de Dawn", le vaisseau spatial étudiera largement la surface pour commencer à démêler l'histoire géologique de Ceres et pour évaluer si la planète naine est en activité (géologique). Le vaisseau spatial fera deux pauses au cours de sa descente en spirales pour prendre des images de Ceres dans cette nouvelle orbite.
La mission de Dawn est contrôlée par JPL pour la direction de la mission de la Science de la NASA à Washington. Dawn est un projet du programme de la découverte de la direction, contrôlé par Marshall Space Flight Center de la NASA à Huntsville, Alabama. L'UCLA est responsable de la science globale de la mission de Dawn. Orbital ATK Inc., à Dulles, Virginie, a conçu et a construit le vaisseau spatial. Le centre aérospatial allemand, Max Planck Institute pour la recherche du système solaire, l'agence spatiale italienne et l'institut astrophysique national italien sont des partenaires internationaux dans l'équipe de la mission.
Bon, les américains se moquent largement des "nouvelles belles images de la NASA" qui ressemblent aux anciennes... mais il y a aussi quelques zoom intéressants dans le montage...

Black Country crop circles prove phenomenon is no hoax, claims Australian expert
Black Country crop circles prove phenomenon is no hoax, claims Australian expert
May 14, 2015- AN Aussie historian believes he has buried forever the ‘cereal’ lie that crop circles are the work of hoaxers – by unearthing Black Country images of them dating back to 1945 and beyond.
It’s ‘barley’ believable, but Greg Jefferys has also uncovered evidence of the phenomenon in scientific documents dating back to 1880.
The boffin, from Hobart, Tasmania, says his findings prove there’s more to the mysterious circles than hoaxers playing silly tricks.
“This discovery proves that claims by various artists to be the sole creators of crop circles are themselves a hoax,” he says.
“It just goes to show that the circles remain unexplained.
“I hope this discovery will stimulate renewed interest in crop circles by serious scientific researchers who have been fooled by the hoax claims.”
Greg, aged 59, who cut his teeth locating shipwrecks, used Google Earth’s new 1945 overlay – images of places taken 68 years ago – to make the breakthrough.
He spent more than 300 hours scouring the English countryside using the technology – and found a large number of crop circles.
Two of the most significant were on the outskirts of Stourbridge.
“Searching the old images presented many challenges,” Greg told the Sunday Mercury. “Some of the original photographs had physical and chemical damage that produced circular flaws on the Google images.
“I had to develop a methodology to distinguish between flaws on the film and genuine crop circles.”
Greg began his quest after reading an article in an 1800 edition of science journal Nature.
It suggested that crop circles had, in fact, been around since the 1700s.
And Stourbridge, believed to be a paranormal hotbed, was an obvious area to search.
In 2010 the town, once famed for glass-making, made headlines when a BBC journalist filmed a strange, orange orb in the skies over Wollaston.
But crop circles were not the only thing Greg uncovered while scrutinising the old aerial photographs.
“I also found a number of circular prehistoric structures similar to ‘Woodhenge’ – a timber, Neolithic monument close to Stonehenge,” he says. “But these were outside the Midlands.
“The aerial photographs from 1945 are particularly useful for finding prehistoric remains because they were taken at a time before farmers began the extensive use of heavy machinery in their fields, which disturbs the soil to a deeper level than previous farming methods.”
But there is one question Greg’s laborious research has failed to answer: if crop circles are not a hoax, what are they?
He has an idea of how to unravel this mystery.
“Firstly, I believe that the claims of various ‘artists’ to have created them all is patently false,” he says.
“That is itself probably one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the scientific community, and I think that my 1945 Google Earth work does this.
“Secondly, there is a significant body of evidence that indicates high frequency electromagnetic energy is involved in the creation of crop circles.
“What is not clear is what generates that energy and organises it into circular patterns. This is one of the questions I hope to answer, at least partially.”
Those who have previously made a study of the strange symmetrical shapes – Reg Presley, former lead singer of 60s band The Troggs among them – already have their own theories as to how they are created.
They say that they are a warning about the perils of plundering our planet’s resources, not just two blokes with a plank and piece of rope.
In a blog, expert Freddy Silva explains: “Crop circles are organised harmonic forms that manifest around the world, the result of an energy interacting with the physical world – in this case plants. This energy is comprised of light, sound and magnetism.”
That’s one in the eye for the Ministry of Defence who, up to 1990, blamed all crop circles on two pensioners named Doug and Dave.
The theory was debunked when the structures, which some claim have healing qualities, appeared as far afield as California and Western Australia.
In fact, they have been spotted in 29 countries, created out of wheat, barley, linseed, rice paddies and even ice.
Doug and Dave only had bus passes.
And cynics still cannot explain what happened at Stonehenge on July 7, 1996.
At 4.15pm an RAF pilot reported nothing unusual below. Just 15 minutes later, a second airman reported a 900ft formation, comprising 149 circles aligned along a spiral curve.
The media may have lost interest in them, but crop circles are still out there. Last year provided a bumper harvest, with 18 recorded in August alone.
Reg, the country’s best known circle investigator, believes the striking agricultural artworks are messages from space.
Twenty years ago, he shocked the world by revealing: “A 200 foot long penis turned up in a crop formation just by Chequers.
“Everybody laughed – so did I.
“But one week after that appeared near the Prime Minister’s home, we discovered that the American male had lost half of his sperm count.
“Two months after that it came out that we’re losing it over here, too.
“I don’t believe that crop formation was a hoax. I think somebody was trying to tell us something.

Astronomers baffled by discovery of rare quasar quartet
Astronomers baffled by discovery of rare quasar quartet
May 15, 2015 - Using the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, a group of astronomers led by Joseph Hennawi of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy have discovered the first quadruple quasar: four rare active black holes situated in close proximity to one another. The quartet resides in one of the most massive structures ever discovered in the distant universe, and is surrounded by a giant nebula of cool dense gas. Because the discovery comes with one-in-ten-million odds, perhaps cosmologists need to rethink their models of quasar evolution and the formation of the most massive cosmic structures. The results are being published in the May 15, 2015 edition of the journal Science.
Hitting the jackpot is one thing, but if you hit the jackpot four times in a row you might wonder if the odds were somehow stacked in your favor.
Quasars constitute a brief phase of galaxy evolution, powered by the in-fall of matter onto a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy. During this phase, they are the most luminous objects in the Universe, shining hundreds of times brighter than their host galaxies, which themselves contain hundreds of billions of stars. But these hyper-luminous episodes last only a tiny fraction of a galaxy's lifetime, which is why astronomers need to be very lucky to catch any given galaxy in the act. As a result, quasars are exceedingly rare on the sky, and are typically separated by hundreds of millions of light years from one another. The researchers estimate that the odds of discovering a quadruple quasar by chance is one in ten million. How on Earth did they get so lucky?
Clues come from peculiar properties of the quartet's environment. The four quasars are surrounded by a giant nebula of cool dense hydrogen gas, which emits light because it is irradiated by the intense glare of the quasars. In addition, both the quartet and the surrounding nebula reside in a rare corner of the universe with a surprisingly large amount of matter. "There are several hundred times more galaxies in this region than you would expect to see at these distances," said J. Xavier Prochaska, professor at the University of California Santa Cruz and the principal investigator of the Keck Observatory observations.
Given the exceptionally large number of galaxies, this system resembles the massive agglomerations of galaxies, known as galaxy clusters, that astronomers observe in the present-day universe. But because the light from this cosmic metropolis has been travelling for 10 billion years before reaching Earth, the images show the region as it was 10 billion years ago, less than 4 billion years after the big bang. It is thus an example of a progenitor or ancestor of a present-day galaxy cluster, or proto-cluster for short.
Piecing all of these anomalies together, the researchers tried to understand what appears to be their incredible stroke of luck. "If you discover something which, according to current scientific wisdom should be extremely improbable, you can come to one of two conclusions: either you just got very lucky, or you need to modify your theory," Hennawi said.
The researchers speculate that some physical process might make quasar activity much more likely in specific environments. One possibility is that quasar episodes are triggered when galaxies collide or merge, because these violent interactions efficiently funnel gas onto the central black hole. Such encounters are much more likely to occur in a dense proto-cluster filled with galaxies, just as one is more likely to encounter traffic when driving through a big city.
"The giant emission nebula is an important piece of the puzzle since it signifies a tremendous amount of dense cool gas," said Fabrizio Arrigoni-Battaia, a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy who was involved in the discovery.
Supermassive black holes can only shine as quasars if there is gas for them to swallow, and an environment that is gas rich could provide favorable conditions for fueling quasars.
On the other hand, given the current understanding of how massive structures in the universe form, the presence of the giant nebula in the proto-cluster is totally unexpected. "Our current models of cosmic structure formation based on supercomputer simulations predict that massive objects in the early universe should be filled with rarefied gas that is about ten million degrees, whereas this giant nebula requires gas thousands of times denser and colder," said Sebastiano Cantalupo, currently at ETH Zurich, that led the imaging observations a the Keck Observatory during his previous research appointment at UCSC. "It is really amazing that this discovery was made the same night of the Slug Nebula while we were hunting for giant Lyman alpha nebulae illuminated by quasars – my first night at Keck Observatory and definitely the most exciting observing night I have ever had!"
"Extremely rare events have the power to overturn long-standing theories" Hennawi said.
As such, the discovery of the first quadruple quasar may force cosmologists to rethink their models of quasar evolution and the formation of the most massive structures in the universe.
The authors wish to recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that the summit of Mauna Kea has always had within the indigenous Hawaiian community. We are most fortunate to have the opportunity to conduct observations from this mountain.
The W. M. Keck Observatory operates the largest, most scientifically productive telescopes on Earth. The two, 10-meter optical/infrared telescopes near the summit of Mauna Kea on the Island of Hawaii feature a suite of advanced instruments including imagers, multi-object spectrographs, high-resolution spectrographs, integral-field spectrographs and world-leading laser guide star adaptive optics systems.
The Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (LRIS) is a very versatile visible-wavelength imaging and spectroscopy instrument commissioned in 1993 and operating at the Cassegrain focus of Keck I. Since it has been commissioned it has seen two major upgrades to further enhance its capabilities: addition of a second, blue arm optimized for shorter wavelengths of light; and the installation of detectors that are much more sensitive at the longest (red) wavelengths. Each arm is optimized for the wavelengths it covers. This large range of wavelength coverage, combined with the instrument's high sensitivity, allows the study of everything from comets (which have interesting features in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum), to the blue light from star formation, to the red light of very distant objects. LRIS also records the spectra of up to 50 objects simultaneously, especially useful for studies of clusters of galaxies in the most distant reaches, and earliest times, of the universe.

Found: Giant 'spirals in space' that could explain our existence
May 15, 2015 - Giant magnetic spirals in the sky could explain why there is something rather than nothing in the universe, according to an analysis of data from NASA's Fermi space telescope.
Our best theories of physics imply we shouldn't be here. The Big Bang ought to have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter particles, which would almost immediately annihilate each other, leaving nothing but light.
So the reality that we are here – and there seems to be very little antimatter around – is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in physics.
In 2001, Tanmay Vachaspati from Arizona State University offered a purely theoretical solution. Even if matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts, he suggested that as they annihilated each other, they would have briefly created monopoles and antimonopoles – hypothetical particles with just one magnetic pole, north or south.
As the monopoles and antimonopoles in turn annihilated each other, they would produce matter and antimatter. But because of a quirk in nature called CP violation, that process would be biased towards matter, leaving the matter-filled world we see today.
If that happened, Vachaspati showed that there should be a sign of it today: twisted magnetic fields permeating the universe – a fossil of the magnetic monopoles that briefly dominated. And he showed they should look like left-handed screws rather than right-handed screws.
So Vachaspati and his colleagues went looking for them in data from NASA's Fermi Gamma ray Space Telescope. As gamma rays shoot through the cosmos, they should be bent by any magnetic field they pass through, so if there are helical magnetic fields permeating the universe, that should leave a visible mark on those gamma rays.
Lo and behold, that's just what they found – well, maybe. "What we found is consistent with them all being left-handed," says Vachaspati. "But we can't be sure." He says there's less than a one per cent chance that what they see in the Fermi data happened by chance. "That's being conservative," he says.
They also found that the twists in the field are a bit bigger than they predicted. "So there is some mystery there," says Vachaspati. He says more data from Fermi, which is expected this year, will help narrow down the odds.
Nicole Bell from the University of Melbourne in Australia warns that magnetic fields could have been caused in other ways, including from inflation. What's more, for CP-violation to provide enough matter in the universe you usually need "new physics" – stuff beyond the standard model of particle physics – which hasn't been confirmed experimentally yet. "But it is a very interesting idea," she says.

500,000-Year-Old Stone Tools, Butchered Elephant Bones Found in Israel
500,000-Year-Old Stone Tools, Butchered Elephant Bones Found in Israel
Evidence that human ancestors living 500,000 years ago in what is now the Revadim archaeological site used their stone tools on bones of elephants and other mammals, perhaps to butcher them for food, is being reported in the journal PLoS ONE.

The Acheulian site Revadim is located on the southern coastal plain of Israel. It is at least 500,000 years old, as indicated by minimum ages retrieved by paleomagnetism analysis and uranium series dates.
During recent excavation seasons, conducted on the site under the permission of the Israel Antiquities Authority, Tel Aviv University archaeologists have found thousands of animal bones, including the remains of the straight-tusked elephant (Palaeoloxodon antiquus), the aurochs (Bos primigenius), the mountain gazelle (Gazella gazella), horses (Equus sp.), the red deer (Cervus elaphus), among others.
The straight-tusk elephant – an extinct species of elephant closely related to the living Asian elephant – is the most dominant species in the faunal assemblages of Revadim, with 155 bones identified.
In the new PLoS ONE paper, the archaeologists report the surprising discovery of the butchered straight-tusk elephant remains in association with two stone tools 500,000 years old: a biface (56 mm in length, 48 mm wide and 16 mm thick) and a scraper (44 mm in length, 36 mm wide and 20 mm thick).
“At the Revadim quarry, a wonderfully preserved site a half-million years old, we found butchered animal remains, including an elephant rib bone which had been neatly cut by a stone tool, alongside flint hand axes and scrapers still retaining animal fat,” said Prof Ran Barkai of the Tel Aviv University’s Jacob M. Alkow Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Cultures, who is the senior author on the paper.
“It became clear from further analyses that butchering and carcass processing indeed took place at this site.”
By replicating the flint tools for a modern butchering experiment, and then comparing the replicas with their prehistoric counterparts, Prof Barkai and his colleagues determined that the biface was “prehistoric man’s sturdy ‘Swiss army knife,’ capable of cutting and breaking down bone, tough sinew.”
“The slimmer, more delicate scraper was used to separate fur and animal fat from muscle tissue,” Prof Barkai said.
“In the case of the massive elephant, for example, they would have needed to use both tools to manage such a challenging task. The knowledge of how to make these tools was precious, and must have been passed along from generation to generation, because these tools were reproduced the same way across great territorial expanses and over hundreds of thousands of years.”

« Le lieu d'origine des peuples finno-ougriens est généralement déduit comme étant à l'ouest de l'Oural, dans la région d'Oudmourtie, Perm, Mordva et Mari-El. Vers 3000 Avant j.-c., les groupes de Balto-Finnois avaient migré vers l'ouest jusqu'aux rives de la mer Baltique. Et vers la même époque, les Saami ont migré plus au nord et plus à l'Ouest, atteignant les côtes de l'océan Atlantique. Les Magyars (appelés hongrois en anglais) ont fait le trajet le plus long et le plus récent de la région de l'Oural vers leur site actuel en Europe centrale uniquement vers 896 après j.-c.. » http://www.elupuu.org/index.php?id=52
« Certains chercheurs croient que l'Hyperborée était probablement le berceau des civilisations humaines et que la colonisation de la terre a commencé à partir de là. En 1922, l'expédition de Barchenko et Kondiain a cherché les ancêtres des Indo-Aryens, qui ont migré de cette région vers le cinquième millénaire avant notre ère, près de l'un des endroits les plus mystérieux sur la péninsule de Kola - Seidozero, ou le « lac des montagnes fantômes ». De nos jours plusieurs légendes et effets anormaux sont rattachés à Seidozero (Seydozero), soutenues par les dessins cyclopéens mystiques sur le fond du lac et sur les falaises, et des pierres sacrées runiques (seids), par les vestiges d'un observatoire préhistorique et par la perte de plusieurs expéditions dans cette région."
The submitted radar image was acquired from the RADARSAT off-nadir SAR imaging instrument with nominal spatial resolution of 25 meters and horizontal polarization of signal. Imagery was performed in “Standard1” mode with side scanning at angles from 19.4 to 26.8 degrees, which brings to serious image geometric distortions across the satellite track and to stretching of scanned objects. Besides, brightness interpretation of the image will be difficult, as backscatter prevails in the return signal and its strength does not differ much for coarse or flat surface. This radar image shows two U-shape main mountain ranges: the Khibiny and Lovozero Tundras with the deepest Kola Peninsula Umbozero lake located in between. The famous town of the miners, Kirovsk, is situated to the south of the Khibiny Mountains on the bank of the Lake Bolshoy Vudyavr. Most inhabitants of this town are working in mining industry. These mountains are part of the most ancient Earth’s rock structures – the Baltic fundamental crystalline formations, which have lived through several glaciations
" Récemment, les archéologues ont fait plusieurs découvertes qui semblent prouver l'exactitude des documents anciens. Y compris en ce qui concerne l'une des plus énigmatiques grandes civilisations anciennes, celle de l'Hyperborée ("hiperboreytsite"). Le mot signifie littéralement « ceux qui vivent au-delà des Borées (Vents du Nord) » ou simplement « les gens du Nord ». De nombreux auteurs antiques, avec persistance, donnent à penser que les habitants de ce légendaire pays, entre autres choses, pouvaient peut-être... voler. Est-il possible que d'anciens habitants de l'Arctique aient maîtrisé les secrets de l'aviation ?

Expéditions sur la Péninsule Kolskiya
" Dirigé par le Dr Valery Mikhail Dyomin, un groupe de scientifiques russes a découvert les restes d'une ancienne route, recouverte de pierres érodées, qui mène dans la toundra impraticable de Carélie à des centaines de lacs de la région qui racontent aujourd'hui des histoires étranges. Sur sa rive, sur une immense falaise, le groupe de chercheurs étonnés a découvert l'image de 70 mètres d'une étrange créature humanoïde avec les bras tendus. Son accès n'est possible qu'avec un équipement d'escalade moderne. Selon une antique légende Saami, est dépeinte la période Kuyva - le chef des étrangers perfides qui sont venus à travers Polyarniy, ont tourné autour brièvement avant de détruire complètement les tribus locales de Laponie. Seule l'intervention des esprits convoqués par les chamans lapons a sauvé ces derniers, transformant Kuyva en ombre sur le cadran...
Un peu plus tard, l'expédition va sur la montagne Ninchurt et tombe sur des ruines de l'État Kuyva - la mystérieuse Hiperboreya des légendes européennes. Les scientifiques découvrent un centre culturel majeur, bien que pulvérisé de fragments de roches et érodé par les nombreux glaciers et avalanches. Voir les Pierres Géantes bien travaillées avec des formes géométriques régulières, les escaliers qui ne mènent nulle part maintenant. En vérité nous ne pouvons même pas juste dire où ils sont partis il y a 20.000 ans. Des murs construits avec compétence dans ces lointains temps et des écritures mystérieuses demeurent...
- Les restes d'un très ancien Observatoire astronomique (dans cet endroit situé dans les montagnes désolées au-delà du cercle polaire Arctique !) Avec une goulotte de 15 pieds, s'élevant en haut vers les étoiles et la roche recouvre les deux extrémités.
Dans son apparence et sa finalité fonctionnelle, il rappelle le grand observatoire, ou le sextant enfoui de l'Observatoire médiéval célèbre près de Samarkand Ulugbek. Dans l'ensemble, ressemble à des ruines abandonnées élevées dans les villes en pierres des Andes construites par les civilisations pré-colombiennes. Malgré tout, la comparaison est peu appropriée, parce que les monuments de l'ère précolombienne du nouveau monde sont non seulement connus mais aussi suffisamment bien étudiés, alors que Nasko s'ouvre au-delà du cercle polaire Arctique, les ruines de Aryan Hiperboreya appartiennent à une culture beaucoup plus ancienne et dont les pratiques restent encore inconnues pour la majorité des scientifiques européens.
Une autre expédition en 2001 découvre une énorme grotte cachée au bord du lac et en 2004, il y a eu plus de surprises avec la découverte de panneaux en pierres fabriqués avec des outils métalliques datés de plus de 8000 ans avant j.-c..
Peu surprenant, un article de Igor Gusev dans la revue Anomaliya (Issue 1, 2005) révèle que des agents secrets Nazis ont aussi largement visités Seidozero, et que des vêtements portants des insignes SS avaient été découverts dans la grotte près du lac par des touristes.

On peut aussi noter les labyrinthes découverts dans la région :
MAJ 05/2015 : " Les Tundras de Khibiny et Lovozero ont de riches gisements de minéraux rares mentionnés essentiellement dans l'ensemble du tableau de Mendeleïev. Par exemple, dans les formations postmagmatiques de Eveslogchorrsky, la zone tectonique du massif de Khibiny, 27 minéraux rares ont été trouvés, deux d'entre eux - la perlialite et la denisovite - y ont été détectés dans la roche pour la première fois. L'Eudialite, ou "sang du lapon", peut être appelé comme une «carte de visite» des Montagnes Khibiny et de la Lovozero Tundra. Il y a une vieille légende disant que, lors d'une bataille cruelle entre les Lapons et les Chuds, la chute du sang lapon sur le terrain l'a transformé en pierres (rouges). Actuellement, la roche d'apatite-néphéline, découverte tôt dans les années 1920 par l'académicien A. Fersman, est devenue très célèbre dans le monde entier. Les Syénites Nepheliniques sont des matières premières et des sodium alumineux précieux, tandis que l'apatite est la source pour les engrais chimiques phosphatés. En raison des riches ressources minérales, les massifs montagneux sont devenus l'arène des activités économiques dans la région de Mourmansk, causant ainsi des dommages irréparables à la nature. Par exemple les développements de champs de production dans Oleny Creek et Partomchorr sont préjudiciables pour le parc national de Khibiny. - http://www.mindat.org/photo-203065.html
Le massif de Khibiny, qui est âgé de 250.000.000 d'années, est référencé comme le système unique des "Montagnes de Fennoskandia" et est un intérêt pour des voyageurs provenant de partout dans le monde pour des raisons différentes. L'une de ces raisons est bien sûr la recherche de l'antique civilisation de l'Hyperborée...
Légendes Saami
Le mystérieux lac sacré Seidozero est situé dans le centre de la toundra Lovozero, dans la péninsule de Kola, en Russie. Il est relié au lac Lovozero par une courte mais féroce rivière, la Seidyavryoka, et est entouré par des montagnes basses, au sommet plat. La beauté du lac est à couper le souffle, et la région environnante est le centre de beaucoup d'anomalies. La péninsule de Kola est située sur la bordure nord-ouest de la Russie, la plupart du temps au-dessus du cercle polaire arctique. Elle se situe entre la mer Blanche au sud et la mer de Barents au nord. Ici, un certain nombre d'énigmes anthropologiques, naturelles et mystiques coexistent côte à côte. Les tribus natives Saamis ont vécu dans cette région pendant des milliers d'années. Selon leurs légendes, un grand choom (une tente faite de peaux ou d'écorce) a été placé près du Seidozero Lake, et des présents de tous les camps des nomades saamis ont été apportés là pendant des générations.
L'hommage était très précieux, et comprenait des pépites d'or. Lors de l'invasion du roi norvégien Hakon, l'ancien choom a été détruit et brûlé. Les chamansont été en mesure de cacher les trésors collectés à travers les âges dans les eaux profondes du lac sacré. Il y a des rumeurs, même de nos jours, sur des rituels étranges réalisés par les chamans dans les environs du lac...
Spirit Stones Seid, la pierre sacrée des Saami, est dit contenir les esprits et les âmes des défunts noaidi (chamans). Les Seids sont censées posséder des pouvoirs magiques, ont été adorées et des sacrifices ont été réalisés en face d'elles. Elles ont également été utilisées pour la divination. Si une seid n'a pas été suffisamment adorée, l'esprit à l'intérieur la quitte, et la roche devient une coquille vide. Certains chercheurs russes estiment qu'il y a 30 seids dans la région. Quand les marins Saami ont passé la Kuiva seid sur la rive du Seidozero, ils ont eut peur de faire des bruits forts, parce que le vieil homme, comme ils appellent Kuiva, pourrait les entendre... Ils font attention à ne pas salir les eaux du lac sacré, de peur que le vieil homme mène le poisson ailleurs. Sur la plaine Nepeslogchorr, près du lac Seidozero, selon la mythologie Saami, il se dressait autrefois trois sorcières, une mère et ses filles, qui ont été transformées en pierres. L'isthme entre les deux lacs est appelé Motka. Après il y a une clareté constante de ciel bleu. Les vents soufflent comme des ouragans du creux de Seidozero. Les montagnes environnantes ne protègent pas des vents du lac. La pluie et les nuages sont fréquents, et d'énormes vagues font que parfois la voile est pratiquement impossible. C'est une tâche très difficile de venir à Seidozero, soit par l'eau ou par terre...
Le lac est entouré par une épaisse forêt à feuilles persistantes, presque impénétrable, qui le sépare de la montagne. Les arbres sont ici les plus hauts de la péninsule de Kola, et on peut trouver du cassis dans la forêt et des raisins sauvages dans la montée au pied des collines. Grimper au sommet de la montagne à proximité de la Montagne Ninchurg est à la fois difficile et passionnant. Plus on monte, plus belle devient la vue du mystérieux lac en-dessous. Des signes étranges se trouvent sculptés dans les côtés verticaux des étapes. Les inscriptions sont complexes, incompréhensibles, et inquiétantes, comme le sont les monuments de pierres empilées trouvés à intervalles réguliers sur le chemin vers les sommets. C'est un lieu de nombreuses énigmes, y compris des plaques gigantesques, géométriquement correctes, d'énormes rochers percés en travers par certains forages de tunnels inconnus et de considérables souterrains, des puits étranges et sept piliers mystérieusement debouts se soutiennent mutuellement comme un mur. Ou des tunnels construits par des esclaves staliniens recherchant de l'uranium ? Ce serait une explication offerte par des scientifiques soviétiques qui sont arrivés dans la zone pour élucider ses nombreuses énigmes, y compris les disparitions inexpliquées de touristes. Mais ils ne pouvaient pas expliquer pleinement les nombreux mystères de la région. Selon la légende, le lac Seidozero a un faux fond. Les expéditions soviétiques sponsorisées par la police secrète dans les années 1920, ont apparemment visité une grotte sous le lac. Celle de 1998 dirigée par Mikhail Dyomin a découvert un puits rituel, des signes et écritures mystérieuses, et les ruines d'un ancien observatoire, une longue tranchée de 15 mètres pointant vers le ciel. En 2001, une nouvelle expédition dirigée par Dyomin a découvert une immense grotte sur le bord du lac. Là, ils ont trouvé plus de surprises, y compris des panneaux de pierre faits avec des outils métalliques qui remontaient à 8000 ans avant JC. Un récent article, par Igor Gusev dans le journal Russe Anomaliya (Numéro 1, 2005) a révélé que des agents du renseignement nazis ont également visité Seidozero. Gusev affirme que certains touristes ont trouvé des vêtements avec des insignes nazis dans une grotte au bord du lac. La Ahnenerbe Forschungs Lehrgemeinschaft (La Société d'Enseignement et de Recherche sur le patrimoine ancestral), l'université nazie, fondée en 1935 avec la bénédiction de Hitler et qui a fusionné avec la SS deux ans plus tard, a peut-être joué un rôle actif dans la région. La mission de l'Ahnenerbe était de fournir la preuve anthropologique et archéologique pouvant déterminer les origines de la «race aryenne». Certains idéologues nazis croyaient que la réponse à ce mystère résidait dans la cité perdue de l'Atlantide. Leur Atlantide était la terre mythique de Thulé, située entre le Groenland et l'Islande ou, selon certains, à la Kola Peninsula. De 1940 à 1944, les nazis ont occupé le nord de la Russie, à l'exception de la péninsule de Kola. Les Allemands connaissaient l'importance stratégique du port libre de glace de Mourmansk et la grande richesse naturelle de la région. Peut-être qu'ils savaient aussi au sujet de ses phénomènes paranormaux. Mais les Soviétiques connaissaient également l'importance de leur péninsule du nord et l'ont défendu à tout prix. Le lac des esprits de la montagne est mystérieux, vierge, et à distance. Souhaitons qu'il le reste jusqu'à ce que le temps de déverrouiller ses secrets vienne. Jusque-là, Seidozero doit reposer, non perturbé par les touristes bruyants et indiscrets.

Filer’s Files #20 -2015 UFO crash at St Augustin - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Directive to General Twining by Eisenhower, General Twining’s Air Material Command UFO Report, UFO Crash at St Augustin, Do pilots believe in UFOs? Obama’s Pilot Does, Archaeology Discovery of Pharaoh’s Army in Sea, Letter from a Space Traveler, Bird Flu Warning, North Korea Leader Executes Defense Chief
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: California, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, Virginia Washington D.C., and Wisconsin.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Argentina, Canada, Cambodia, India, and in England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

The next exciting “Hangar 1” TV”showHunted By UFOs, will be on History Channel, Friday night, May 15, 2015, at 10 PM EST and PST.
Special Reports
Directive to General Twining by Eisenhower
On the 8th of July, Eisenhower ordered General Nathan Twining, the commander of the Air Materiel Command, to go to White Sands to “…make an appraisal of the reported unidentified objects being kept there.” With a team of experts, technicians, scientists and assistants, Twining was directed to not only appraise the unidentified object, but also to deal with the military, political, and psychological situation surrounding its existence in New Mexico. Documents Pre 1948
Note: Dr. Bob Woods reports in his book “Alien Viruses,” that the captured alien bodies when examined caused the death of three and possibly four human technicians. The aliens may have been infected with viruses from their planet fatal to humans. This is one of the strongest reasons for keeping the crashes top secret.
General Twining flight logs of 1947 have been released as have his pilot’s flight logs, so his whereabouts between July 7th and July 9th 1947 have been confirmed and authenticate part of this document. This trip to New Mexico was Twining’s one and only trip during summer of 1947. IPU Summary Page 4 states the following:
7th July 1947 – Twinning went to Alamogordo Army Air Field for a secret meeting with Army Air Force Chief of Staff General Spaatz and to view recovered remains of craft from crash landing site 20 miles northwest of Socorro in the Plains of St Augustin.
8th July 1947 – Twining went to Kirtland Army Air Field to inspect parts recovered from power plant.
9th July 1947 – Twining and staff went to White Sands Proving Ground to inspect pieces of craft being stored there.
10th July 1947 – Twining made inspection of R&D facilities at Alamogordo and then returned to Wright Field, Ohio. Thanks to Skywatch’s Mark Hall
General Twining’s Air Material Command UFO Report
Air Accident Report by General Twining to Headquarters,
16 July1947
This three page bureaucratic report provides the first glimpses of Lt. General Nathan F. Twining’s Air Accident Report originally published in Leonard Stringfield’s (now deceased) Status Report VII, in 1994. Twining apparently describes in detail the inside of a “flying disc”, everything from typewriter-like keys that control the propulsion system to a thirty-five foot doughnut shaped one-inch tube inside the craft filled with a clear substance and a coil of copper-like material. Twining’s engineers from Engineering Division T-3 scientific personnel from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and other educated experts report that the object was not manufactured by the US, Germany or the USSR for a variety of reasons including; lack of any known design resemblance, lack of external propulsion system and power plant, and the lack of identifying markings.
The general configuration of the craft is shown. There may have been differences in the Roswell UFO and the crash at the Plains of St Augustin UFO.
The experts theorized about how the craft is powered, how it moves, and how and where it is controlled from, but there is no real knowledge beyond the theories. The inability f or the experts to prove the object to be made in any of the advanced technological societies on Earth is intriguing and thought provoking. The significance and consistency of the technical content has not been evaluated, although it is clear that the writing is consistent with 1947 state of the art, not modern. Documents Pre 1948
Len Stringfield’s autopsy materials speculated that the two aliens in the forward-most portion of the crew compartment, in the actually two seater cockpit section were of the four-fingered variety as they only had to type instructions on the icon displays and jockey the single “Joy stick” flight control device. The others clearly had opposable thumbs like the rest of us Homo sapiens and other hominid primates of Earth. Status Report VII, in 1994.
UFO Crash at St Augustin
Stanton Friedman, Timothy Good and I say Art Campbell has done an incredible job of researching the July 2, 1947 crash of a small, extraterrestrial craft in the Plains of St Augustin not far from the Roswell crash. There is speculation that the two UFOs collided or were affected by radars.
In May of 2012 a group of 15 people found a great deal of important material near the crash site. By far the most important was this I-beam. It is 2 inches across at the flanges and 13 1/4 inch long. Rather crude flanged holes at each end indicate it may have been a repair. Bottom skin, honeycomb, and I-beam might have been scraped off a craft on the first skip down. Below the I-beam is another piece of honeycomb. This one had some skin attached, believed to be just inside the interior. Some excitement occurred when a faint triangle, circle and other markings were found near the right end of beam. The beam is probably the most significant find at the crash site and Art Campbell wants to make sure everybody knows about it. The beam looks more like an H-beam used to distribute horizontal loads. Crude flanged holes are a mystery. It is possible it was used more than once in a repair of some sort.
Alien beam found at crash site
The beam has a metallurgical composition primarily aluminum with high silicon, manganese, copper, and iron. It is my guess that a grid of beams covered the entire bottom of the UFO (probably crisscrossing the bottom of the craft in 10-12″‘ squares) supporting the honeycomb sandwich. Our craft when it skipped down lost allot of its bottom and this beam was probably ripped out. The honey comb material has been found at two crash sites.
All of the samples were tested with a volt-ohmmeter, and were found to conduct electricity. Fifty-six (56) elements were detected in at least one sample. The aluminum contained alloys not available in aluminum in 1947. The coatings on all metals were blended with metal and rich in silica, titania, magnesia, sulfate, phosphate, and chloride, were almost certainly not available in 1947. The coatings are similar to those removed from people claiming alien contact. The samples still emit magnetic and electrical energy indicating these samples include nanotechnological smart metals and of probable alien origin. Analysis of some of the metal indicated it was not from Earth. Campbell found many items which are as follows:
An artificial 3-layered container about the size of a human fist, believed to be some kind of an artificial body organ.* Seven kinds of unusual foil containing high levels of silicon, iron and manganese (unknown to the foil industry.)* Some strange wax material which may have been some kind of an insulation coating inside the UFO* Also found of a similar material was the remains of a small structural member (possibly a tiny I-beam)/* Possible alien sole shoes were found of different sizes of an extremely narrow width. Art’s book goes into great detail with photographs and analyses of these shoe soles. Go to UFO Crash Book for more details.
Do pilots believe in UFOs? Obama’s Pilot Does
Andrew Danziger flew President Obama during 2008 election campaign, Claims to have seen a UFO on flight between Kansas and Iowa in 1989. Saw a ‘giant red ball’ flying parallel to his jet in the sky for 30 seconds. The aircraft captain revealed that nearly all pilots believe in UFOs.
A pilot, who contributes articles to New York Daily News, recently wrote an article about UFOs and commercial pilots, and he included his own incredible UFO sighting. The title of the article is “Do pilots believe in UFOs? Many of them do and here is my close encounter story,” and it is written by Andrew Danziger. According to New York Daily News, Danziger is a 28 year airline veteran. He has served as a captain on international flights for the last 14 years. He has also been an instructor, and was even one of President Obama’s pilots during the 2008 campaign. Here is an excerpt of his UFO encounter: (Read the full story here )
It was April 10, 1989 and early in my career. After a short taxi and take-off, Air Traffic Control (ATC) cleared us to our cruise altitude of 15,000 feet. We established a Northeasterly heading, pointed strait at Waterloo, about 200 miles ahead. Despite the presence of these clearly visible wispy clouds everywhere, we weren’t flying through any of them.
There was also a white disc dimly but clearly visible through those clouds just off to our right. We flew on and I commented to Bruce, the captain, about this dimly visible disc. He said that he’d been watching the same thing since we had leveled off. We spent 20 to 30 minutes at our cruise altitude, all the while staring at this white disc dimly visible through some clouds that we somehow never seemed to fly through. We got busy with our flying duties and for a short while, maybe for a minute, both of us had looked away from the disc, but when I looked up at it again I saw something that has been burned into my memory. Above the clouds, where the white disc had been, was a now giant red ball it was flying parallel to our course. We slowly lost altitude and at around 13,000 feet, the brightly glowing ball began a gradual descent, too. As it did, it slowly started disappearing behind those wispy clouds. In about 30 seconds, like a setting sun but not nearly as bright, it vanished behind the clouds. The instant it fully disappeared, hundreds of lights began flashing from within the clouds. The flashing lights were brighter than ever and I could see that the section of the cloud that the glowing red ball had descended behind was starting to stretch apart like a piece of “Silly Putty,” two halves being pulled slowly apart with the middle getting thinner and thinner. This continued until the halves grew so thin that it tore apart and, pop! Everything was gone. Andrew Dandier “This very same thing has been reported by pilots countless times and while neither of us had any idea what we had saw one thing we were certain of, it wasn’t from here.” NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

Archaeology Discovery of Pharaoh’s Army in the Sea
Jonathan Gray reports, “I had recently come back from the Red Sea and was able to report a startling discovery to audiences in Britain. The report was that we had found chariot parts and wheels, mixed with skeletal remains of horses and men, scattered across the floor of the Gulf of Aqaba”. The report suggested that evidence for the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt had been found, together with remains of the Pharaoh’s pursuing army. You may be familiar with that story in the book of Exodus. It relates that when the Hebrew slaves escaped with Moses from Egypt, that Pharaoh’s army pursued them.
The sea opened up and the Hebrews fled across the dry sea bed to the other side. But when Pharaoh’s army pursued them onto the sea bed, the waters on both sides collapsed upon them and the Egyptian army was destroyed. After this, the Hebrews made their way to Mount Sinai, (which was beyond that sea crossing). Here they were organized into a nation, prior to their march into the Promised Land of Canaan. Well, there are some good folk who deny this event ever happened. Others say it did happen – but in the Gulf of Suez. But if the Pharaoh’s lost army had now been discovered in the Gulf of Aqaba, then both groups are wrong!!!
Chariot wheel found in Gulf of Aqaba
You understand, if this discovery is confirmed, then there are two vital implications:
The traditionally theorized “Gulf of Suez” site is wrong.
The traditional Mount Sinai in Egypt is also wrong. On that second point, the biblical accounts (as well as historians like Josephus) say that first the Hebrews crossed eastwards through the sea, then only after that they came to Mount Sinai. So if it was NOT the Gulf of Suez that they crossed, it means that Mount Sinai cannot be in Egypt. It HAS to be in SAUDI ARABIA! And that means that tourists are being taken not only to the wrong mountain, but also to the wrong country. Email Archaeology Answers. (info@ – not info1@) BeforeUs
Letter from a Space Traveler
Susan J writes, “My experiences started back in 1966-67, when I was 6-7 years old and I dreamed of flying a ship which entered the Earths’ solar system faster than the speed of light.”
We were in the third phase of reconversion from pure energy to solid form. As we entered the solar system, we bounced off of the planets gravitational fields of Neptune, Pluto and two other planets. As we flew pass the sun it looked like a solid rock due to our light speed. I was the navigator on far left hand side of the ship. As such, I was hyper sensitive to any subtle energy changes in the universe-even before they would occur. This was one of the mandatory requirements for navigation (svar-ari-erum) in our language. As we entered the Earths’ atmosphere, I was already awake and the rest of my “Nyindan-human” crew were still asleep. As we entered the atmosphere, a rift or black hole opened up.
Later in 1995 at a meeting of a local MUFON chapter, a Dr. Lee Sharguil of NASA gave a speech and spoke of a rift that opens up periodically over the 24-25 parallels and can engulf anything. This would explain our “black hole”. When this occurred, I yelled, ”Ectna, Ectna, shift the mass to the black hole-not away from it! Shift the mass to the black hole!
Ectna, Ectna wake up! Shift the mass to the black hole!” As he woke, he didn’t hear me and shifted the mass away from the black hole. Before I could say, “No you have to cancel the field vectors with the mass field ,we’re still transient and can do this safely” the black hole obliterated our ship.” I woke up with a profuse sweat and my heart pounding my chest as I sat there actually cross legged staring at the closet. I knew what this meant-that I was an alien incarnate that actual flew those UFOs’.
Due to the very nature of my dream and its implications, I knew I couldn’t tell my mom like any other child tells their mom because of her not believing in ‘spaceships’. So, I was alone on this one and had to sort it out on my own. This was only the beginning of self re-discovery and a long bonding relationship with them. An odyssey that would enlighten me amidst the persecution I was to endure on a mental level from society for various other reasons, this being one of them.
The process of svari-erum causes one to knock (blank) out. The reason for specifying the word svari-erum for navigation is because it’s not the 3 point triangulation or reference point flight like on Earth.
A few days later in 1967, after the recall-reoccurring dream, I had a dream where I was in the mother ship being shown a series of cylinders with embryos in them. There was a couple standing in front of me as 3 aliens (ovoids-not greys) told me what they were. They also made it clear that I’m one of them and those were my real parents. They explained in great detail just how they did the in vitro method and that this method ruled out my Earth Dad as my real father, but not my Earth mom as my real mother. I somehow knew they were my real parents from my past life and felt a very strong maternal bond to both of them. I was in tears and didn’t want to leave the ship. They told me ”Don’t worry you will be with us while you are here on Earth, we will always be with each other up in ships, your DNA from your past-life body is you now, we put the past-life body DNA in the Earth mother’s egg and these two parents are really your parents from the past-life.” When I heard that I felt real sad like someone stole my life and parents from me.
I was also shown the three beings who did this. There was also a show of the ethers I was floating around in, in the Earths’ atmosphere when they located my soul. I knew right then that there is a such thing as reincarnation, but again, couldn’t tell my mom because of her beliefs. I would wake up sitting cross legged staring at the closet. As the visits progressed, I was shown the mother ship, my former real people and felt quite at home there. This ship is the main mother ship of our people.
As a result of these experiences, I started reading all kinds of books on physics, reincarnation, quantum mechanics, dreams and psychology. I accelerated my intelligence from average reading level to above average in grade school and 3rd college year reading comprehension level when I graduated high school. Yet because of my eye problem and ‘Aspergers’ of which no one knew about, until about 10 years ago. I was deliberately held back 3 times in 3rd grade and placed in remedial classes in grade school. This didn’t stop me from trying to pursue a career in technology and acquiring several degrees in science and certifications in OSHA-10,30;HAZWOPER 40 hr, 8-hr refresher and others. I’ve always been driven. All the while, still deeply involved with them. Thanks to Susan J
Bird Flu Warning
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A new strain of bird flu suspected of being spread by migrating waterfowl is decimating commercial poultry operations in Iowa, Minnesota Wisconsin and ten other states. Many countries such as Canada also report a new strain from Asia that apparently is spread by migrating waterfowl. Iowa agriculture officials say bird flu will claim the lives 25 million chickens, more than 40 percent of the state’s egg-laying flock. The virus has spread to well over 30 million birds in 13 states.
The USDA reported last week a Wisconsin turkey farm with more than 1 million birds had tested positive for the H5N2 virus. Outbreaks have been reported in the province of Ontario, Canada and the states that are in the Mississippi flyway used by migrating waterfowl each fall and spring.
“There are some strains (of bird flu) that can cause human illness, such an earlier strain of the avian flu, H5N1, that was active in Asia infected and killed some people there. A new strain of avian flu was not seen in the U.S. until December, beginning on the West Coast. It is believed to be spread in the dropped feces of migratory waterfowl.
130 million died from Spanish Flu in 1918
Employees reporting to work at a poultry barn are required to shower before entering and wear sanitized clothing — “bio-security garments,” according to Vail-Shirey. There is no movement allowed of anyone — including all employees, even management from one poultry facility to another. Ordinary washing of hands with soap and water can kill the virus, and it is also readily killed by sunlight, heating and cooking. In cases where infections do materialize, the meat and eggs of those birds will be destroyed under government supervision.
“ US authorities reported finding wild birds in Washington state infected with two different highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses, H5N2 and H5N8, raising questions about possible connections with recent H5N2 outbreaks across the border in Canada and with an Asian H5N8 strain that is now hitting European poultry farms.
H5N2 is a subtype of the species of Influenza virus that infects a wide variety of birds, including chickens, ducks, turkeys, falcons, and ostriches. Affected birds is often mild as avian influenza viral subtypes go. It appears that people, who work with birds can be infected by the virus, but so far suffer hardly any noticeable health effects.
Italy follows Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom in reporting recent outbreaks of H5N8 in poultry. Germany was the first, with a report of the virus on a turkey farm on Nov 4. Authorities suspect that wild birds carried H5N8 from East Asia to Europe.
My friend Erich Simon asserts that the U.S. is unprepared for an outbreak of bird flu and that many millions of lives could be lost if a bad mutation in the virus occurs. The virus is exceptionally small and normal face masks are not able to filter out the virus
“Officials fear that bird flu could mutate into a deadly form that becomes easily transmissible to humans.” The bird flu virus is relatively safe for humans at this time, but it tends to mutate and could become very dangerous to humans.
Bird flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, and nausea,
A mutated virus could be as dangerous as the Spanish Flu that killed millions. Infectious Diseases
North Korea Leader Executes Defense Chief
SEOUL — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had his defense chief executed with an anti-aircraft gun in front of hundreds of spectators for complaining about the young ruler, and sleeping during a meeting presided over by Kim, South Korea’s spy agency claims
Kim also recently replaced his defense minister with a hard line military commander believed responsible for deadly attacks on South Korea in 2010.
Kim Jong Un, who took power after his father’s 2011 death has allegedly killed 84 high ranking personnel including his ex- girlfriend.
North Korean People’s Armed Forces Minister Hyon Yong Chol was killed in front of hundreds at a shooting range at Pyongyang’s Military Academy, according to lawmaker Shin Kyoung-min. Thanks to CNN

Sightings of UFOs in the United States
California Lights
Mission Viejo — After parking my car and walking to my home, I noticed two or three reddish lights directly east from me, east from Saddleback Peak on February 21, 2015. They were high enough that I could determine they were high above Saddleback. There were no planes in the night sky. I thought maybe they were flares? Looking east they appeared to drift from 2 o’clock towards 5 o’clock, I wondered why they would drift diagonally? Suddenly, there were four and more, and more. I said, “This is not normal.” When I realized I was actually witnessing an event, I got excited and could barely hold the phone/camera steady. Still high over Saddleback peak they just turned off! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Light
Denver– On May 2, 2015, about 8:20 pm, heading south on Kalamath Street to 6th Avenue we observed about 6 to 10 very bright lights. The further south we drove the brighter they became, as they traveled north in no specific formation. They made a formation that resembles the Big Dipper Constellation.
They stayed in formation for about a minute then one by one would start fading and disappear. I felt it was a message saying “look here” that was cool and scary at the same time. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Light
Naples — On May 6, 2015, as I was on my way to work I noticed a beautiful cloud formation as the sun rose. So I took my iPhone 6 and took a photo. When I opened the photo on my phone I noticed green neon object not covered by the clouds. Later it was completely covered by the clouds and disappeared.
I have never believed in UFOs, but I cannot find any logical explanation for this object. My friends said, “Wow you got a UFO“. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Port St. Lucie – A line of lights moved across the sky and blinked out one by one from left to right on August 3, 2014.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kansas Ball
Tonganoxie — On May 3, 2015 a friend and I were out on my porch and noticed how pretty the moon looked so I went to get my camera. I began to take photos that have an unexplainable object in the photos that appears to move around. We could not see this with our naked eye. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nevada Lights
El Eldorado — My husband was driving and I was taking pictures from inside the car on April 26, 2015, when my tablet turned off. I tried to turn on the tablet but it was dead.
A few hours later when I was at home finally my tablet turned on. I can see the pictures and noticed few lights in the pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey UFO at Air Show Practice
Atlantic City — I am the Chief Investigator for MUFON in New Jersey. I decided to take my grandson Dom the see the Thunderbirds practice in August 18, 2009. I took photos of the Thunderbirds and was able to capture a UFO in my Thunderbirds photos.
I was also able to capture a great photo of a UFO in Cheyenne Wyoming on May 20 2012. I know these UFO craft like air shows. After enlarging and enhancing the photo, I caught something very strange. When the Thunderbirds are practicing, there is restricted air space within a 5 mile radius. I also captured a UFO, a few years ago at the McGuire Air Force Base air show. There are many photos out there with UFO’s in the air show photos from all over the world. Google” air shows ufo sightings Next time you attend an air show in your area, make sure you take tons of photos and you may be surprised as to what you will find. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ World UFO Photos
Barnegat –My son called and said he just saw a bright neon green boomerang spinning right in front of him on the Garden State Parkway at mile marker 67, at 9:50 pm, on May 1, 2015.
He said, “The green neon boomerang shaped craft was about 20 feet long and spinning over the opposite traffic lane and then looked like it bounced in mid-air and then disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Lights
New York City — There were several sightings over a few days in two boroughs on May 2, 2015. My wife and I saw a huge glowing light that dropped behind the skyline of Manhattan.
It was over sized, as I am used to seeing regular lights all the time because of the nearby airports.
My mother in law was able to snap this picture as my father in law was driving along the Hudson River the following night. There are two lights in this photo.
New York City — This footage was caught by Orlando Bosca of YouTube on May 6, 2015. He keeps an eye out of UFOs on the live cams and he has some good ones here. A glowing object that changes color from red to blue, white and green hovers over a tall building in New York. Why didn’t people report seeing it? It’s the big city, no one ever looks up. Thanks to UFO Sightings Daily
North Carolina Path
Connelly Springs — I and three friends were camping at South Mountain State Park at the Saw tooth campsite on May 9th 2015, and, I was looking up at 10:30 PM. And saw star blink bright then disappear. I focused my eyes on the spot and 10 seconds later the object blinked bright then off, but in a different spot.
Amazed, I showed my friends and they too witnessed the object blink bright then off in different spots as if it was traveling. After further research I believe it was in the Constellation of Hercules traveling from his left shoulder to the right in a span of 3-4 blinks. It then changed direction toward the “knee” of Hercules in a span of three blinks. Then the object changed direction again, moving right to the “bow” of Hercules for about 3-4 blinks and faded out. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Light
Du Bois — I was on the front porch when I looked up into the southwest sky and saw this bright light on July 10, 2014. So I held my phone up and snapped a couple pictures as it zipped across the sky about 600 feet to the southeast. I tried to get another picture when it took off straight up. I never remembered a thing about it until this March when I was going through my camera photos. I don’t remember seeing much more than what my camera took. There was a bluish haze around the 40 to 50 feet oval shaped object. I have had two other sightings since then. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Light
Houston — At 2:30 am on March 30th, 2015 I was outside and noticed lights in the sky changing color. I grabbed my camcorder and started recording. As I zoomed in, it disappeared from my viewfinder twice. The third time I tried to record I was able to record a metallic gray spherical object for 3 and a half minutes. It morphed its shape, taking on the appearance of the moon at one point. It hovered then moved slowly west until 4:30 am, and disappeared. In the film there are numerous blinking lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Vermont Light
East Burke — I was outside playing with my son on May 9, 2015, and saw a jet fly by leaving a contrail that appeared very close so I snapped a picture. I noticed there was a white dot in the picture. My first thought was that it was a reflection from the sun. The object was moving like a fly would. It came out from the tree line and returned to the same spot. The ball seems to be in front of the trees which are only a few hundred feet away. I took more pictures and captured the object and a jet in the distance. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington DC Orbs
My daughter and I observed three or four orange glowing shapes moving diagonally from behind the apartment buildings in the Rock Creek Park area by the Duke Ellington Bridge on May 9, 2015. We saw the orbs from 11:42 to11:45 PM, along with a cluster of bright white lights in the distance that glided out of sight. I have five more pictures and a spotty video but you can see the objects moving up. I don’t know if these are UFOs.
Note: The three photos show the same object. In the center photo the camera must have been still or the object stopped. In the other photos there is some distortion due to movement of the camera or the object. Thanks to William Puckett, Director UFOS Northwest
Wisconsin Implant Update
De Pere –“Alleged” Implant Case –: The witness followed through on her promise to send me the original CD Rom containing her X-rays. This CD Rom was provided to her by her doctor. I viewed the X-rays and found the device. I copied the CD Rom and returned it to the witness.
The witness also contacted me and said that her “follow-up” X-rays did not show the device. Therefore the object was likely something external like a Life-Alert unit. Thanks to William Puckett, UFOS Northwest

Cordoba and Bahia Blanca — On May 7, 2015, the UFOs were recorded by two men last Sunday and Monday. The videos can be seen on YouTube. With barely 24 hours difference between them, but separated by a distance of over 800 kilometers, residents of the cities of Córdoba and Bahía Blanca claimed to have seen UFOs.
In both cases luminous objects were moving in an atypical manner. A barking dog barks in the by Jorge David Lazarte and his video shows a shining object that appears to split into three spheres, and vanishing in seconds. The other video from Bahía Blanca during the afternoon is a brilliant object that appears over Buenos Aires has the typical movement of a UFO.” Source: Inexplicata-The Journal of Hispanic Ufology

Niagara Falls – On May 9, 2015, my wife and I went to play with a new d5200 camera. I was taking photos away from the falls through the mist, on long exposures, and out of a large number of photos about 10 PM, this one stood out.
I have no idea what it is. I don’t know if it’s a camera shake, I don’t know if it’s a funny glare that happened during an exposure so I was hoping maybe someone there could identify it as well as let me know what it is. I don’t know if this is a lens flare or a funny shake.
Brantford– On May 10, 2015, I was sitting on my front porch at about 9 Pm enjoying the warmth of the day when I noticed two lights drifting upwards from a tree line about 500 feet away. They were fairly bright and I thought they were those Chinese Lanterns that could start a fire. They floated too high to be those candles. The light on the left moved higher and disappeared while the one on the right slowly “drifted” left and then right and disappeared into the clouds.
I realized I should video and grabbed my cell phone and started recording. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Cambodia Lights
Phnom Penh– On May 2, 2015, right beside the balcony was star with bright red color. It was 7 pm, when I realized there were 7 lights. I did not think it was moving, but then they ascended moving southwest.
It has star like brightness but the color is red. I took pictures when I saw it was ascending into a cloud. The GM of our company was also present. Thanks to MUFON CMS PS This is my 4th UFO sighting
New Delhi — In Block 24, I was walking looking up every now and then at 7:32 PM, I saw a star-like white light moving very slowly on April 24,2015. Unlike my 3rd Extraterrestrial Craft sighting (65067), this time I could also see its gray colored, rectangular, horizontal-platform type body, with no apparent external features. Its color was a uniform gray, flying at 500 feet or more.
There were no sounds, nor wings, blades, or trails. It was high up in the sky and quite big – proportions were like 6 cm – x – 3.5 cm – and reminded me of a battle tank (without its barrel). Its size could have been bigger than a basketball court. Its front left side appeared chopped off. It was moving very slowly and flew behind a building.
UK/England Lights
Warrel — What you can see is a photograph I took myself on my I phone 4, on the 7th of October 2011, it was a circular craft and stayed just long enough for me to notice it, then it accelerated, almost at light speed at a slight angle. Then it was gone and it didn’t even leave a trail as you would expect a comet, or meteorite to do. You can make out a distinctive circular shape. the craft was also silent. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worthing — I was indoors at 9:45 pm when I felt the need to get up and go outside on May 7, 2015. I saw flashing lights in the distance and I thought it was a plane and filmed using a Panasonic W-850 camcorder. There was a plane in the area but I ignored the plane and concentrated on the strange flashing object. The UFO appeared head on, then disappeared and reappeared across the sky like it teleported! This went on for some time, and I caught on camera the UFO morphing into a triangle with red, white, blue flashing lights. The triangle UFO morphed in front of my eyes disappearing and reappearing.

If Mars once had life, what happened to it?
If Mars once had life, what happened to it?
After studying the red planet for decades, scientists admit that there is a great possibility that an impact of a asteroid or comet altered the faith of the Red Planet, compared to Earth, Mars is full of impact craters but that isn't that strange since Mars has a very uncomfortable position in our solar System, right next to the Asteroid belt. due to this, Mars is constantly being bombarded by asteroids, unlike Earth Mars does not have a bigger moon to shield it against incoming asteroids.
Looking back in history we know that the Earth has been impacted in the past by large space rock and some of those impacts have possibly changed the history of our planet. One of the best examples we know of, is the Chicxulub impact crater located in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico (see image above) which some scientists believe to have been the number one reason for the extinction of the Dinosaurs.
So if this happened here on Earth, would something similar be possible on Mars? On the red planet we find a very interesting impact crater located in the Lyot region, and it is approx. 125 miles in diameter. The area of this impact crater tells us just how powerful the impact was and it could have been one of the main causes why Mars today is just a “desert”. This comet strike may have caused a profound disruption to Mars’ planetary system. It would have been an absolutely devastating planet climate-changing event. So is it possible that long before losing its atmosphere, Mars sustained life? Even civilizations that once called the red planet “home”? If so, where did the Martian’s go? did they survive? Did they escape before these cataclysmic events? And is Mars connected in any way to Earth? These are just some of the questions that desperately want to be answered.
On July 20, 1976 after a ten-month journey from Earth, Viking I reached its destination, the red planet. The images that Viking I sent back to Earth were amazing, and some of them showed that Mars was not that different from Earth. Some regions on Mars resemble places on Earth, like the Death Valley. Where the story about Viking I gets interesting is after it performed several tests in search for life on the red planet. Viking I returned controversial results. Dr. Gil Levin designed one of the tests that the Viking probe performed, a relatively “simple” test. He explained that Microorganisms breathe just like you or I or anything else, and then they give off carbon dioxide. What NASA did is, they took a small sample of Martian soil, placed it inside a small container and this container was monitored for a week for signs of “bubbles” inside of the tube, and after seven days, the unexpected happened. The test for life on Mars was positive by criteria accepted by NASA as “bubbles” were registered inside the Viking I container. While this test returned positive for life, other tests with different criteria came up negative. NASA were very cautious in this matter and opted to say: “There is no proof of life on Mars“.
Some scientists suggest that Mars may have had an atmosphere similar to Earth’s atmosphere, and it got annihilated about 65 million years ago. Adding to this suggestion, ideas have formed in the past which tell the possibility that the civilization that once inhabited Mars, fled to Earth in search for refugee. So does this make us the “Martians” we have desperately tried to find? Some scientists say they've found powerful evidence of lost civilizations on the red planet and in fact, they believe they may have discovered a nuclear signature in the Martian atmosphere that matches Earth’s after a nuclear test. According to scientists there are very large traces of Xenon-129 on Mars and the only process that we know that produces Xenon-129 is a nuclear explosion. Is this just another coincidence that shows how similar Mars is to Earth? Or does it provide evidence that Mars was very different in the past? Watch:
FORMER NASA SCIENTIST CONFIRMS ALIEN LIFE ON MARS - EVIDENCE DESTROYED!
An NBC 7 news photographer believes the strange blinking lights he captured in a video last week were coming from TV news antennas in Mexico, about 15 miles from the U.S. border.
Reports of the mysterious lights generated attention on a number of national and international news sites, such as Buzzfeed and The Huffington Post.
Mysterious Lights Spotted South of San Diego
This video was taken by our NBC 7 crew in San Ysidro. Several viewers also told us about the lights. Some said they appeared to be red, blue, and green and kept flashing and changing colors. Some who saw them say the lights didn't seem to move,like those on a plane or a drone. We put in calls to the military here to see if they could identify what these were. So far, no response. (Published Thursday, Apr 30, 2015)
The photographer was in San Ysidro last Tuesday night covering an unrelated story when he noticed the mysterious lights. He returned during daylight hours and noticed the TV antennas on the mountaintop at the same place he spotted the lights.
He believes the foggy conditions made the lights coming from the antennas more striking than other nights – and why so many people who saw them were so baffled.
A number of residents called NBC 7 to report the mysterious lights and a NBC 7 viewer also provided photos. Those who saw the lights all said they appeared to be south of downtown San Diego.
Two brightspots in a crater on surface of Ceres are now not the only light spots there
NASA has been baffled by what could cause of two large 'bright spots' in a crater on its 580-mile wide surface since they were first pictured by the US space agency's Dawn probe February from a distance of 29,000 miles.
Theories have renaged from reflective ice patches or signs of ice volcanoes, or cryovolcanos, which form on icy moons or asteroids, erupting contaminated water which solidifies, instead of magma, to more far-fetched ones including it being an alien space station like the Star Wars Death Star.
Now, as the unmanned probe, gets even closer, the latest images, from 13,500 kms above at a resolution of 1.3 kilometers per pixel, just released by NASA show the two large lights in a crater now dubbed the 'great whites' are actually a series of much smaller spots together.
The images have also shown the 'Great Whites" are not the only bright spots on the surface.
There are many different ones dotting the planet, including huge cracks that stretch nearly a quarter of the circumference and others which are linked to bright rays of material, which scientits feel could be after effets of comet or asteroid strikes.
Ever since news of the lights spread, UFO hunters have speculated they could be light sources made by alien inhabitants, with the more bizarre theories including it signalling Ceres is actually a well-hidden alien space station.
News of lights being more widespread has only feulled this with one speculator commenting on an online forum that "It could be that these are like the lights of cities on earth which are visible from space" and that Dawn may be about to discover something "historic".
But scientsist seem more convinced they are going to find ice is the cause.
The relatively high resolution has allowed astronomers to compare the brightness and flatness of some spots to what would be expected of sunlight on ice.
LUCASFILM
Conspiracists think the lights on Ceres mean it must be a space station like the death star
Christopher Russell, principal investigator for the Dawn mission at the University of California, Los Angeles, said: "As our pictures have increased in resolution, the brightest spot broke into two spots, and now we can see a whole field of tiny spots in that crater.
“We are now sure that the light could be sunlight bouncing back from the surface, similar to what we would expect from a reflection from ice on the surface.”
But it still poses questions as ice should not be stable on the small planet’s airless surface, and would be expectoed to evaporate.
Mark Sykes, director of the Planetary Science Institute and a Dawn co-investigator, says the “Great White Spots,” might mostly be salty crusts left behind after mineral-rich water ice vaporizes away.
By June 6 Dawn will be just 2,600 miles above the planet and they hope to learn more then.
Mr Russell added: “We are humbled by our inability to predict what is going on here. So we sit and wait for the higher-resolution data to appear, and we sharpen our pencils to make calculations on the rate of water vapor creation from the possible ice rinks on Ceres.”
Since all the uncertainty began, NASA called for help from the public last month after the conspiracy theorists' wild speculations online.
It launched an online poll for people's views giving six options:
They included a volcano, geyser, rock, ice, salt deposit, or 'other', which presumably included alien space stations and other UFOs
The website says: "Can you guess what's creating those unusual bright spots on Ceres? On March 6, NASA's Dawn spacecraft began orbiting Ceres, the largest body in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
"Even before the spacecraft arrived at the dwarf planet, images revealed mysterious bright spots that captivated scientists and observers alike. Until Dawn gets a closer look over the next few months, it's anyone's guess what those spots could be. So, go ahead! Cast your vote."
The poll came after UFO forums speculated the mystery lights could have been put there by aliens trying to contact other beings.
But the lack of certainty triggered speculation among online UFO hunters that they must have been created by extraterrestrials.
NASA
The bright spots are visible in more recent image of Ceres as are smaller light spots
Many online forums are claiming that the presence of the lights must mean Ceres is an alien-made mega space station, like the Star Wars Death Star, which has been disguised as a planet, or a mining outpost.
One poster wrote on www.ufosightingsdaily.com: "The light is white, like city lights, not orange or red like a volcano. That rules out volcano.
"The light is not one, but two. You will see the two glowing objects have different shapes. The largest is a white glowing square, the smaller is a triangle. Still think its a volcano?
"Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt and is only 950km in diameter. These are massive doors that open to allow ships in and out.
"Yes, I'm saying Ceres was turned into a alien space station...where they live inside...underground where its safe. Its surface covered in dust, dirt, that protects the station below from attacks, meteorites and radiation. Death Star comes to mind."

Do lights on Ceres signify alien occupation?
NASA
Images of Ceres taken by Dawn rotating around planet have allowed colour map to be made
The bright spots continue to fascinate the science team, but we will have to wait until we get closer and are able to resolve them before we can determine their source.
Chris Russell, Principal investigator for the NSAA Dawn probe mission to Ceres
Another posted: "These two spots are surely non-natural occurrences. What are the chances of having double erupting volcano craters within a giant crater basin?
"Bright white light emitting even when Ceres is turning to the dark side rotation clearly indicates that the origin of the light is artificially made.
"Perhaps it is a collection of many smaller lights of a tiny alien mining outpost. We all will know by December unless Dawn (gets) shot down by the aliens before its close encounter."
Other alien fanatics were more cautions, urging to wait until the probe gets nearer.
One added on the forum that it could be light reflecting from liquid mercury on the surface, posting: "During the dark side rotation, the craters may be much less brighter than what we see on the light side images. Nevertheless, some active mantle reaction is occurring inside Ceres for sure. Aliens will be just too dumb to leave their head lights on so
long for us to discover their trail."
The latest pictures of the small planet showing the lights were taken last week.
NASA
The spots were not seen in dawn image of Ceres' north pole
Dawn has been orbiting Ceres since March.
It is hoped as it gets closer it will become clear what the lights are.
Images of the north pole of Ceres taken on April 10 from 21,000km did not show the lights.
However, they were visible in other close-up colour images taken since March which were used to create a map of the surface.
Nasa hopes to get a closer look at the spots when Dawn gets even closer next month.

UFO sighting: Photographer captures '14-strong fleet' of unidentified 'crafts' in bizarre pictures
UFO sighting: Photographer captures '14-strong fleet' of unidentified 'crafts' in bizarre pictures
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Karl Jennings claims the objects cruised around the sky, flipping on their 'backs'
The strange shapes were captured by the photographer towards the end of last year
A photographer has captured a 'fleet' of UFOs on camera in the skies over Spain.
Mirror Online reader Karl Jennings, from Ireland, told us that he took the pictures in broad daylight at around 5pm on October 27, 2014, while in central Madrid.
He insists that the photographs have not been altered in any way and is convinced the bizarre objects are not birds or planes, but rather a '14-strong fleet' of unidentified, 'baton-shaped crafts'.
According to Karl, the strange shapes were in view for about 90 seconds before disappearing behind some tall buildings.
Karl spotted 14 of the objects in total - here they are at varying levels of magnification
He told Mirror Online that the crafts "cruised with the illuminated facet facing down. They sped up, rotated length-wise, flipped on their 'backs' and had lights so bright they bleached out the broadest daylight.
"There were no wings, no audible sound, no propellers, no finned-empennage, no smoke, no contrails."
He continued: "My best guesstimate is that they were at an altitude of 8 kilometres, some 3-4.5 metres in length each."
Karl also consulted other photography and technology experts, who agreed that they were not birds but could not offer any other explanation.
For comparison, he also photographed an Air Berlin plane, with the same camera on the same settings, just 20 minutes after the 'UFO event'.
Karl snapped an Air Berlin liner with the same settings to try to prove they were not planes

Astronomers have long held that water -- two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom -- was a relative latecomer to the universe. They believed that any element heavier than helium had to have been formed in the cores of stars and not by the Big Bang itself.
Since the earliest stars would have taken some time to form, mature, and die, it was presumed that it took billions of years for oxygen atoms to disperse throughout the universe and attach to hydrogen to produce the first interstellar "water."
New research published in Astrophysical Journal Letters by Tel Aviv University and Harvard University researchers reveals that the universe's first reservoirs of water may have formed much earlier than previously thought -- less than a billion years after the Big Bang, when the universe was only 5 percent of its current age. According to the study, led by PhD student Shmuel Bialy and his advisor Prof. Amiel Sternberg of the Department of Astrophysics at TAU's School of Physics and Astronomy, in collaboration with Prof. Avi Loeb of Harvard's Astronomy Department, the timing of the formation of water in the universe bears important implications for the question of when life itself originated.
"Our theoretical model predicts that significant amounts of water vapor could form in molecular clouds in young galaxies, even though these clouds bear thousands of times less oxygen than that in our own galaxy today," said Bialy, the lead author of the study. "This was very surprising and raises important questions about the habitability of the first planets, because water is the key component of life as we know it."
Formation at 80 Degrees F
For the purpose of the study, the researchers examined chemical reactions that led to the formation of water within the oxygen-poor environment of early molecular clouds. They found that at temperatures around 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the formation process became very efficient, and in the gas phase abundant water could form despite the relative lack of raw materials.
"The universe then was warmer than today and gas clouds were unable to cool effectively," said Prof. Sternberg. "Indeed the glow of the cosmic microwave background was hotter, and gas densities were higher," said Prof. Loeb, who also holds a Sackler Senior Professorship by special appointment in the School of Physics and Astronomy at TAU.
Because ultraviolet light from stars breaks down water molecules, an equilibrium between water formation and destruction could only be reached after hundreds of millions of years. The team found that the equilibrium in the early universe was similar to that measured in the universe today.
"We found that it is possible to build up significant quantities of water in the gas phase without much enrichment in heavy elements," said Bialy. "In this current work, we calculated how much water could exist in the gas phase within molecular clouds that would form later generations of stars and planets. In future research we intend to address questions such as how much water could have existed as interstellar ice, as in our own galaxy, and what fraction of all the water might actually be incorporated into newly-forming planetary systems."
Location of sighting: Sawgrass,Tallahassee,Florida, USA
This UFO was caught when someone was watching TV and noticed a UFO shooting past the ball. Cameras always follow the ball, so they panned to the sky and the UFO was noticed. There are some bright lights on the screen of the TV, I believe its from the eyewitness recording the video with his cellphone pointed at the TV and the lights from behind him are reflecting off the TV screen. The UFO does not appear to be a reflection. It solid and seems to move slower than the ball does. They must be interested in why humans like such boring games…I am also wondering the same thing. SCW
