Ecosse : un système élaboré de calendrier vieux de 10 000 ans découvert
Ecosse : un système élaboré de calendrier vieux de 10 000 ans découvert
Selon une nouvelle étude, les humains ont inventé un système sophistiqué calendaire des milliers d'années plus tôt qu'on ne le pensait précédemment.
La découverte est basée sur une analyse détaillée des données d'un site archéologique dans le nord de l'Ecosse - une rangée de fosses anciennes que les archéologues croient être le plus ancien calendrier mondial. Il a près de cinq mille années de plus que son plus proche rival - un ancien calendrier créé à partir de l'âge du bronze en Mésopotamie.
Créé par les Britanniques de l'âge de la Pierre, il y a quelques 10.000 années, des archéologues croient que le complexe de puits a été conçu pour représenter les mois de l'année et les phases lunaires du mois. Ils croient qu'il a également permis l'observation du lever du soleil en plein hiver - en effet, la naissance de la nouvelle année - alors que le calendrier lunaire pourrait être re-calibré annuellement pour le ramener en ligne avec l'année solaire.
Représentation artistique d'un artiste de Warren Champ y a environ 10.000 ans, montrant un matériau qui brûle dans une des fosses du calendrier
Remarquablement le monument était en usage pendant quelque 4000 ans - à partir de 8000 avant JC (période au début du mésolithique) à environ 4000 avant JC (début du néolithique).
Les fosses ont été périodiquement retaillées - probablement des dizaines de fois, voire des centaines de fois - par rapport à celles de quatre millénaires. Il est donc impossible de savoir si oui ou non elles contenaient originellement des poteaux en bois ou des pierres dressées après qu'elles aient été creusées il y a 10.000 ans. Cependant les variations dans les profondeurs des fosses suggérent que l'arc avait une conception complexe - avec chaque mois lunaire potentiellement divisé en trois «semaines» d'environ dix jours - ce qui représente la lune croissante, la lune gibbeuse / pleine et la lune décroissante.
Les 50 mètres de longueur de la rangée de 12 fosses principales ont été organisés comme un arc vers un plongeon en forme de V à l'horizon sur lequel le soleil se levait le jour de la mi-hiver. Il y a 12,37 cycles lunaires (mois lunaire) dans une année solaire - et les archéologues croient que chaque fosse représentait un mois en particulier, avec l'ensemble de l'arc représentant une année.
Les 12 puits ont peut-être joué un autre rôle en représentant le mois lunaire. Reflétant les phases de la lune, le noir et l'affaiblissement de ce qui prend 29 jours et demi, la succession de creux, disposés en arc peu profond (peut-être symbolisant le mouvement de la lune dans le ciel), commence petit et peu profond à une extrémité , croît en diamètre et en profondeur vers le centre de l'arc, puis décroît dans sa taille, à l'autre extrémité.
Une illustration sur la façon dont les fosses auraient fonctionné. Les universités de St Andrews, Leicester et Bradford ont également participé.
Dans son rôle d'un calendrier annuel (couvrant 12 mois - une pour chaque fosse), un système d'alternance des profondeurs de la fosse suggère que les mois voisins peuvent être jumelés en quelque sorte, ce qui pourrait refléter une sorte de système de croyance cosmologique dualiste - connu dans les documents ethnographiques et historiques dans de nombreuses parties du monde, mais pas encore détecté archéologiquement à l'âge de pierre.
Garder la trace du temps aurait été d'une immense utilité économique et spirituelle aux communautés de chasseurs-cueilleurs du mésolithique. Leur calendrier aurait aidés à déterminer le moment précis où les troupeaux d'animaux pouvaient s'attendre à migrer ou à la fois plus susceptibles où les saumons pourraient commencer leur voyage.
Mais les leaders des communautés de l'Age de Pierre - y compris potentiellement des Shamans - peuvent aussi avoir utilisé le calendrierpour se donner l'apparence d'être en mesure de prédire ou de contrôler les saisons ou le comportement de la lune et du soleil...
Le site - à Warren Field, Crathes, Aberdeenshire - a été fouillé en 2004 par le National Trust for Scotland, mais les données ne furent analysées en détail qu'au cours des six derniers mois en utilisant le logiciel spécialement écrit, ce qui a permis une exploration interactive de la relation entre le 12 puits, la topographie locale et les mouvements de la lune et du soleil.
L'analyse a été réalisée par une équipe de spécialistes dirigée par le professeur Vincent Gaffney, de l'Université de Birmingham.
« La recherche démontre que la société de l'âge de pierre il y a 10.000 ans était beaucoup plus sophistiquée que ce que nous avions déjà soupçonné. Le site a des implications sur la façon dont nous comprenons comment la société du Mésolithique s'est développée sur le plan économique, social et cosmologique ", a déclaré le professeur Gaffney.
« Les preuves suggèrent que les sociétés des chasseurs-cueilleurs en Ecosse avaient à la fois la nécessité et la technicité de suivre le temps à travers les années, à corriger la dérive des saisons de l'année lunaire et que cela s'est produit près de 5000 ans avant les premiers calendriers officiels connus dans le Proche-Orient . Ce faisant, cela illustre une étape importante vers la construction formelle du temps et donc de l'histoire elle-même ", a-t-il dit.
Dr Richard Bates, de l'Université de St Andrews, a déclaré la découverte fournie " de nouvelles preuves passionnantes " du début du Mésolithique en Ecosse.
Il a ajouté: " C'est le premier exemple d'une telle structure et il n'y a pas de site comparable connu en Grande-Bretagne ou en Europe pendant plusieurs milliers d'années après que le monument à Warren Camp ait été construit. "
Le site de Champ Warren a été découvert parce que des hirondelles inhabituelles avaient été repérées dans l'air par la Commission royale sur les monuments anciens et historiques de l'Ecosse (RCAHMS).
Dave Cowley, enquêteur chargé de projets à RCAHMS, a déclaré: " Nous avons pris des photos du paysage écossais depuis près de 40 ans, en enregistrant des milliers de sites archéologiques qui n'auraient jamais été détectés depuis le sol.
" Le Champ Warren apparaît comme quelque chose de spécial, cependant. Il est remarquable de penser que notre étude aérienne a peut-être aidé à trouver l'endroit où le temps lui-même a été inventé ".
Le site avait déjà révélé de nombreuses traces préhistoriques, dont les restes d'une grande habitation datée d'environ 5800 ans avant maintenant : http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=6134
Les excavations sur les iles Orkney révèlent un temple incroyable sophistiqué âgé de 5000 ans minimum. L'excavation révolutionnaire d'un Temple préhistorique complexe sur l'île écossaise d'Orkney a révélé que les habitants du néolithique de l'île étaient beaucoup plus avancés qu'on ne l'avait d'abord réalisé, selon un communiqué dans The Scotsman. Alors qu'une vaste collection d'objets anciens reflètent une société complexe et culturellement riche, les archéologues ont également découvert que les trois grandes structures monumentales de l'île - l'Anneau de Brodgar, les Pierres de Stennes, et le tombeau de Maes Howe - étaient " inextricablement liés à un unique grand thème ".
Le site archéologique, connu sous le nom Ness de Brodgar, couvre une superficie de plus de 6 hectares et comprend des restes de logements, des restes de toits d'ardoise, des allées pavées, des façades colorées, des dalles de pierre décorées, un mur en pierres massives avec des fondations, et un grand bâtiment décrit comme un «cathedra» néolithique ou «palais», habité depuis au moins 3.500 avant JC jusqu'à la fin de la période néolithique plus d'un millénaire et demi plus tard.
« Leur fabrication était impeccable. Les murs imposants qu'ils ont construits auraient fait honneur aux centurions romains qui, quelques 30 siècles plus tard, ont érigé le mur d'Hadrien dans une autre partie de la Grande-Bretagne. Cloîtrés dans ces murs il y avait des dizaines de bâtiments, dont une des plus grandes structures couvertes construites dans la préhistoire au nord de l'Europe. " Elle avait plus de 80 pieds (25 m) de long et 60 pieds (18 m) de large, avec des murs épais 13 pieds (4 m) ", a déclaré Roff Smith, auteur d'un article sur le Ness de Brogar qui va être publié dans l'édition de Août de National Geographic.
La fouille archéologique, qui a jusquà présent découvert seulement environ 10 pour cent du site original, a déjà donné des milliers d'artefacts incroyables y compris des têtes de massues de cérémonie, des haches en pierre polie, des couteaux de silex, une figurine humaine, des pots miniatures faits au pouce, des spatules en pierre magnifiquement ciselées, de très raffinées poteries colorées, et plus de 650 pièces d'art du néolithique, de loin la plus grande collection jamais trouvée en Grande-Bretagne.
Dirigez-vous assez loin vers le nord en partant de Derbyshire, et vous arrivez à la frontière avec l'Ecosse. Continuez et vous finirez par arriver dans les îles Orcades, une série de 70 îles et îlots situés à 6.2 miles (10 km) de la pointe nord de l'Ecosse. Vous pourriez penser que cela aurait été abandonné tout de suite après le Néolithique, mais il y a des preuves pour suggérer une civilisation florissante ici. Le cercle de l'Anneau de Brodgar en pierre massive en est seulement une partie de la dépouille de cette culture, qui comprennent le site bien conservé de Skara Brae, le site de Barnhouse, la belle tombe en encorbellement de Maes Howe et le Tombeau des Aigles.
En fait, les îles sont jonchées de restes de structures, des bâtiments et des murs, des pierres debout et des établissements, ce qui rend le patrimoine préhistorique vibrant, vivant et dans un état de conservation impressionnant. Les îles Orcades, si vous avez déjà eu la chance de les visiter, sont une série de falaises, de baies peu profondes et des routes sinueuses (où se trouvent tout ce qui existe actuellement), ce qui signifie que le niveau de développement moderne est faible, et n'a pas vraiment un impact sur le paysage autant qu'on pourrait le dire, comme le centre d'une ville moderne. L'endroit de la capitale est à Kirkwall, pas plus de 8500 habitants, et à l'ouest de la capitale, entre les pierres massives de Stenness et le puissant Anneau de Brodgar, il y a une petite bande de terre, qui semble assez modeste sur un carte moderne. Vous pourriez donc réaliser maintenant que quelque chose de tout à fait modeste pour la recherche est peu susceptible d'attirer les archéologues, et il n'y a donc actuellement qu'une excavation en cours sur le site :
Retour au Néolithique, cependant, et que le peu de bande de terre était le centre et le site de certaines activités culturelles et comportementales intenses. Les Pierres de Stenness, dans le bas de l'image ci-dessus, a un foyer central, et est entouré par des preuves de festins et d'une activité de colonisation (notamment au site Barnhouse). L'Anneau de Brodgar, en haut de l'image, est entouré par des tumulus et des cimetières et a un manque d'activités domestiques. Alors que se trouve-t-il sur la bande entre le lieu de la vie et le lieu de la mort ? La première chose qu'il s'est passée en 2002, a été que les archéologues sur le Loch de Stenness, sous le commandement du directeur du site et chef du projet Orkney Archaeological Trust, Nick Cave, a entrepris un relevé géophysique massif du site, qui s'est terminé avec des résultats qui ressemblaient à ceci (cliquez pour agrandir image) :
1) Les marques blanches sont où le levé géophysique a révélé une différence dans les dépôts enterrés. Malheureusement, il ne vous dira pas précisément ce que ces dépôts sont, ni où se trouvent le les plus intéressants sont à creuser. 2) Il y a une zone de forme sombre près du centre des résultats, c'est la taille de la zone d'excavation en cours par rapport à la taille de l'ensemble du site. Les fouilles couvrent environ 10% de l'ensemble de la région à ce jour. 3) Le tout semble être entouré par un mur rectangulaire, qui a une sorte d'entrée courbée vers l'intérieur dans le milieu du bord de la partie droite, et une autre entrée de l'autre côté, qui se recroqueville à nouveau vers l'intérieur vers le haut du bord gauche. Donc tout ce que nous voyons sont des bâtiments, vous pouvez essayer de deviner qu'ils sont bien murés.
Toutes les choses dans le centre sont à peu près un fouillis de restants de lignes et de murs, aussi en 2008, les archéologues ont pu faire ce qu'ils font le mieux et creuser un beau trou ordonné pour voir ce qui ce trouve plus bas.
Pour la partie nord-est de la zone fouillée, vous obtenez quelque chose qui ressemble à ceci :
Vous pourriez commencer à voir les lignes d'un imposant bâtiment rectangulaire étrange avec des alcôves autour des parois intérieures. Ce n'est pas le seul bâtiment qui a été découvert, car, à l'intérieur cette grande enceinte fortifiée du Ness, tout en est couvert, avec plus de 100 en cours d'identification dans les résultats de l'enquête et des fouilles :
Celui que nous avons dégagé en premier était la structure 8 sur la carte ci-dessus, et la recherche à partir du bord du plan ci-dessus vers le milieu.
La théorie la plus courante (maintenant), est que l'ensemble du site est un lieu liminal de transition (un Seuil) entre les mondes des vivants et le monde des morts. C'est une théorie parallèle à l'hypothèse pour les sites à Durrington Walls et de Stonehenge, reliés par l'avenue, d'abord proposée par Mike Parker Pearson lors de la Conférence sur le néolithique à Kirkwall en 1998. Voilà que le Loch Ness est un chemin conducteur entre les pierres du site de Steness / Barnhouse et l'Anneau de Brodgar. Il existe dans l'endroit un liminal (seuil) parfait, la géographie du site permet de créer une étroite bande de terre entre le sel et les lacs d'eau douce, en alignement avec deux énormes monuments de pierre représentant où la population vivait et le foyer spirituel des ancêtres et dominant le paysage. Les bâtiments de forme étranges sur le plan ci-dessus sont tous uniques, et n'existaient pas tous sur le site au même moment. Certains d'entre eux ont des foyers d'incendie dans les portes, et certains ont des fentes étroites dans les murs, peut-être pour des entrées / sorties. Les grands murs qui entourent le site peuvent avoir été faits pour séparer physiquement l'espace, pour la création d'une zone de transition dans laquelle les nouveaux morts partaient à travers la terre des ancêtres de l'autre côté. D'autres, comme la structure 10, qui est celui avec les murs très épais au fond du plan ci-dessus, ont les restes d'environ 600 bovins, tous presque exclusivement des os, datant de 2.300 avant JC. Il y a même des preuves de peintures sur les murs, et une multitude de poteries brisées et de têtes de hache de pierre / masses. Et parmi toute cette multitude céramique il y a ce petit bonhomme, nommé le Brogar Boy :
Vous pourriez être très familier avec les figurines de Vénus, mais celle-ci a été provisoirement décrite comme une représentation rare d'un homme, voici son visage en gros plan :
Les sites monumentaux de l'Anneau de Brodgar, les pierres dressées de Stenness, et la tombe de Maes Howe, tous situés à quelques miles de la Ness, étaient considérés comme étant utilisés comme des monuments isolés, avec des histoires distinctes, jusqu'à présent. Mais depuis que les fouilles sur le Ness se soient étendues et aient progréssé, les archéologues en sont venus à croire que les sites mégalithiques de la région environnante ont tous été reliés en quelque sorte avec le Ness de Brodgar, bien que son objectif reste inconnu.
" Ce que le Ness nous dit, c'est que c'était un paysage beaucoup plus intégré que quiconque ne l'avait jamais soupçonné ", a déclaré l'archéologue Nick Card, directeur des fouilles de l'Institut d'archéologie de l'Université des Highlands et des îles. " Tous ces monuments sont inextricablement liés à un quelconque grand thème que nous ne pouvons que deviner. Les gens qui ont construit tout cela faisaient partie d'une société beaucoup plus complexe et capable que cela n'a été dépeint dans l'Histoire".
" Allez au Ness aujourd'hui et plusieurs structures emblématiques de l'Age de la Pierre sont à portées de vue facilement, formant le noyau d'un site du patrimoine mondial appelé le Coeur néolithique des Orcades," a déclaré Smith. " Le Ness de Brogar semble être la pièce d'ancrage - la pièce maîtresse, si vous voulez - qui relie ces autres grands monuments dans un grand paysage monumental dont une personne d'élite avait rêvé l'existance. Et de l'avoir eu gisant sous nos pieds, insoupçonné, depuis tant de siècles ne fait qu'ajouter à l'émerveillement entourant cette découverte.

THE WINGS OF THE BUTTERFLY - NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE TWIN JET NEBULA [HEIC1518]
THE WINGS OF THE BUTTERFLY - NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE TWIN JET NEBULA [HEIC1518]
The shimmering colours visible in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image show off the remarkable complexity of the Twin Jet Nebula. The new image highlights the nebula's shells and its knots of expanding gas in striking detail. Two iridescent lobes of material stretch outwards from a central star system. Within these lobes two huge jets of gas are streaming from the star system at speeds in excess of one million kilometres per hour.
The cosmic butterfly pictured in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image goes by many names. It is called the Twin Jet Nebula as well as answering to the slightly less poetic name of PN M2-9.
The M in this name refers to Rudolph Minkowski, a German-American astronomer who discovered the nebula in 1947. The PN, meanwhile, refers to the fact that M2-9 is a planetary nebula. The glowing and expanding shells of gas clearly visible in this image represent the final stages of life for an old star of low to intermediate mass. The star has not only ejected its outer layers, but the exposed remnant core is now illuminating these layers – resulting in a spectacular light show like the one seen here. However, the Twin Jet Nebula is not just any planetary nebula, it is a bipolar nebula.
Ordinary planetary nebulae have one star at their centre, bipolar nebulae have two, in a binary star system. Astronomers have found that the two stars in this pair each have around the same mass as the Sun, ranging from 0.6 to 1.0 solar masses for the smaller star, and from 1.0 to 1.4 solar masses for its larger companion. The larger star is approaching the end of its days and has already ejected its outer layers of gas into space, whereas its partner is further evolved, and is a small white dwarf.
The characteristic shape of the wings of the Twin Jet Nebula is most likely caused by the motion of the two central stars around each other. It is believed that a white dwarf orbits its partner star and thus the ejected gas from the dying star is pulled into two lobes rather than expanding as a uniform sphere. However, astronomers are still debating whether all bipolar nebulae are created by binary stars. Meanwhile the nebula's wings are still growing and, by measuring their expansion, astronomers have calculated that the nebula was created only 1200 years ago.
Within the wings, starting from the star system and extending horizontally outwards like veins are two faint blue patches. Although these may seem subtle in comparison to the nebula's rainbow colours, these are actually violent twin jets streaming out into space, at speeds in excess of one million kilometres per hour. This is a phenomenon that is another consequence of the binary system at the heart of the nebula. These jets slowly change their orientation, precessing across the lobes as they are pulled by the wayward gravity of the binary system.
The two stars at the heart of the nebula circle one another roughly every 100 years. This rotation not only creates the wings of the butterfly and the two jets, it also allows the white dwarf to strip gas from its larger companion, which then forms a large disc of material around the stars, extending out as far as 15 times the orbit of Pluto! Even though this disc is of incredible size, it is much too small to be seen on the image taken by Hubble.
Giant plumes of methane on Mars may be the belches of buried microbes

Nasa is keeping an open mind, but says there is an urgent need to analyse the methane clouds for other chemicals that would either confirm or rule out life as the cause.
The search for extraterrestrial life has received a tantalising boost with the announcement that Nasa scientists have detected wafts of methane on Mars that could be the emissions of microbes living deep beneath the surface.
A seven-year survey of the red planet using three powerful ground-based telescopes in Hawaii, Arizona and Chile spotted giant plumes of the noxious gas being released from the ground in the northern hemisphere during the Martian summer.
Over three months in 2003 around 19,000 tonnes of methane belched into the atmosphere from two valleys and a volcano, each about 620 miles apart, Nasa scientists report in the US journal Science.
On Earth more than 90% of methane in the atmosphere is produced by living things as a byproduct of food digestion. But the gas can also be emitted by common geological processes in volcanoes and from fissures in ocean floors.
Nasa scientists calculate that a colony of Martian microbes covering 2,316 sq miles of the planet’s permafrost could account for the volumes of methane detected. Alternatively, the gas could be released by a community of ancient bugs living in aquifers nearly five miles beneath the surface, under the permafrost.
Michael Mumma, director of Nasa’s Goddard Centre for Astrobiology in Maryland, US, said the agency was keeping an open mind about the origins of the plumes but added that there was now an urgent need to analyse the methane clouds for other chemicals that would either confirm or rule out life as the cause.
“We do not claim to have identified life, nor do we think it is possible to draw that conclusion solely on the basis of methane detection,” he said. “But we now know where, and maybe when, to go and look for other chemical signatures that will distinguish whether this is biology or other processes at work. To me it is compelling and imperative that we now map the entire planet repeatedly over two Mars years to identify all of the active regions of methane release and to establish their seasonal variability.” If it can predict when the plumes will appear, he said, Nasa could send probes to fly through them and investigate them further.”
Scientists previously sniffed a haze of methane around Mars in 2004. The European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter recorded levels of methane in the atmosphere at around 10 parts in a billion, suggesting that any releases from the planet were tiny.
The latest study provides evidence that substantial amounts of methane could be released on a seasonal basis, but is quickly broken down in the atmosphere.
The Nasa team used infrared detectors on the telescopes to confirm the presence of methane at three locations on Mars. One region, a valley known as Nili Fossae, is rich in clay minerals and was once covered in standing water. The two other sites are known as Syrtis Major, an enormous volcano nearly 500 miles wide, and the region of Terra Sabae.
On Earth there are two geological processes that produce methane. One, called serpentinisation, requires heat, water and carbon dioxide. “It could be responsible, but if it’s ongoing it means there is hot rock below the surface, so Mars must still be active,” said Mumma.
Methane is also produced in magma underneath volcanoes, but there is no evidence of active volcanoes on Mars.
If the methane is the belchings of Martian microbes, these are either living about three metres below the surface, or deep beneath the permafrost, said Mumma. The gas is thought to build up during the winter and is then released in the summer as the warmth of the sun opens up fissures in the ground.
John Parnell, an expert in astrobiology and professor of geology at Aberdeen University, said: “One of the key things about methane is it degrades in the atmosphere, so if it’s there, something is replenishing it. If it’s not life then something else is active on Mars. Even if it’s not being produced by living organisms the methane could be used as a fuel by other microbes. On Earth some of the most primitive organisms, which are billions of years old, use methane as a fuel.”
Nasa’s next opportunity to analyse samples on the red planet will be provided by theMars Science Laboratory, due for launch in 2011, which will carry more advanced sensors than any other probe to have set down on the planet.
Could Alien Life Spread 'Like a Virus' to the Stars?
Could Alien Life Spread 'Like a Virus' to the Stars?
In this theoretical artist’s conception of the Milky Way galaxy, translucent green “bubbles” mark areas where life has spread beyond its home system to create cosmic oases, a process called panspermia. New research suggests that we could detect the pattern of panspermia, if it occurs.

As astronomical techniques become more advanced, a team of astrophysicists think they will be able to not only detect the signatures of alien life in exoplanetary atmospheres, but also track its relentless spread throughout the galaxy.
The research, headed by Henry Lin of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), assumes that this feat may be possible in a generation or so and that the hypothesis of panspermia may act as the delivery system for alien biology to hop from one star system to another.
Panspermia is a process where life is somehow transplanted from planet to planet. This may happen should a planet, rich with life, be hit by a massive asteroid impact; pieces of that planet’s crust will be propelled into space and any life contained within those samples may be transplanted to another world. If these hardy lifeforms make the trip, then perhaps they can gain a foothold and seed life in this new environment.
There are other hypothetical mechanisms by which life could “hop” from one planet to the next — including the fascinating possibility of “directed panspermia” where an intelligent civilization may deliberately seed other star systems with capsules containing its biological image. Other ideas remove the need for this life to survive the trip, allowing the freeze-dried dead biology attached to space rocks to act as a template for life on a newly seeded world, a process called “necropanspermia.”
These processes are pure hypotheses right now, and this new research does not specify how life may spread, but we do know that chunks of planetary bodies can travel from planet to planet. For example, a type of meteorite found on Earth is known to originate from Mars — its isotopic signature is identical to measurements made by the armada of robots currently orbiting and roving on the Red Planet. These meteorites were bits of Mars crust blasted into space by ancient impacts.
It’s not such a stretch to think that chunks of Earth have also been blasted into space and computer simulations suggest that there’s a statistical chance that Earth rocks have drifted to the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn, potentially impacting some of the gas giants’ moons. Whether or not Earth’s abundant life was contained within these rocks is not known and it’s quite a stretch to think that a secondary genesis of life may have been spawned.
But say if life can hitch a ride on space rocks and this life can seed new biospheres on other worlds… how would astrobiologists recognize that life is being spread from one star system to the next? Well, like a common cold, the spread would appear viral.
“Life could spread from host star to host star in a pattern similar to the outbreak of an epidemic. In a sense, the Milky Way galaxy would become infected with pockets of life,” said co-author Avi Loeb, also of the CfA, in a press release.
Using a computer model, Lin and Loeb assumed that the “seeds” from one planet’s biosphere spreads in all directions over time. Should one of those seeds reach a habitable planet, there’s a chance it may take root. This creates several life-giving oases that could be detected by future space telescopes peering into these exoplanetary atmospheres. And should several of these life-endowed worlds be found, a pattern may emerge.
“In our theory clusters of life form, grow, and overlap like bubbles in a pot of boiling water,” said Lin.
According to the authors, whose paper has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal Letters (and can be viewed on the arXiv preprint service), to see any kind of “viral” pattern, life would need to spread comparatively quickly, otherwise the motion of the stars around the galaxy will blur out the pattern. If a panspermia-like spread of life is occurring in the Milky Way, it would be ideal if Earth is located on the edge of a viral “bubble”; a situation whereby all the inhabited worlds are only found in one half of the sky, whereas the other half is devoid of life despite the presence of habitable exoplanets.
The fact that we may be able to decipher the biosignatures of life in the atmospheres of distant worlds is profound enough, but should we discover clusters of inhabited worlds, it begs the question: is panspermia a viable life-spreading mechanism? But even more than that, it questions the origin of life on Earth — did life originate here? Has it spread throughout the solar system or even to other stars?
Or was Earth just in the right place at the right time to catch the virus of life?
PHOTO OF THE DAY: Heflin UFO case revisited August 28, 2015
Heflin UFO photos. CLICK TO ENLARGE
We ran this back in 2012 or 2013. People came out of the woodwork to read this thing. Overloaded the systems. Blew up one of our servers. Smoke was coming off circuit breakers that were snapping. People were screaming "Incoming!".
It was awful. But then...danger is our business. So here goes again. (We've since beefed everything up.)
The Set up: Aug. 3, 1965. Rex Heflin, at that time an Orange County highway inspector was at work one day in his county rig when at 12:37 p.m. he says he spotted a kind of “hat shaped” thing flying in the air in Santa Anna, California.
He said the object was hovering right above the road right in front of him. He grabbed his Polaroid camera (a Model 101 Polaroid camera) that he used during his normal work day to take photos of highway obstructions etc. and got off three photographs of what was (he says) a “metallic-appearing object” and a fourth photo of a black "smoke ring" he says was left behind by the UFO after it sped away at high speed.
Heflin estimated the size of the UFO at around 20 feet wide and saId that as it flew across the road it seemed to hover a bit. He photographed it through his car's windshield as it crossed his line of vision (he got a second photo through his passenger window) and he said that as the object moved toward the east, it tipped a bit and he could see a dark (darker?) underside.
At that point he says he saw a type of "rotating beam of light" coming from the center of the bottom of the object. He said the beam was colored a greenish-white and it rotated (slowly) clockwise from the center of the object out to the rim of the thing.
Heflin also said the craft appeared to "wobble" a bit, kind of like when you see a kid's gyroscope on a table top begin to wobble as it runs out steam. Then he got off a third shot and by then, he says, the object had turned and continued moving east and slowly gaining altitude, then increased it's speed and altitude and as it kept moving it left a smoke like vapor in its wake.
One of the snapshots was published by the Santa Ana Register newspaper on September 20th of that year and the story got much bigger when the newswire services picked it up and fed it national.
THE PHOTOS AND ANALYSIS
The photos at above right are the ones he took. The second shot down on the page is enlarged quite a bit to get a better idea of what he saw.
There are several interesting aspects to this story.
1. The U.S. Air Force (which investigated the case via operation Blue Book) issued a statement saying the photos are a hoax.
2. A UFO investigating group called NICAP investigated the case (both Heflin and the newspaper cooperated in the investigation) which included, among other things, a detailed background check on Heflin (presumably to insure he had not spent any time in a "rest home") and a computer photo analysis study done by Robert Nathan at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who worked with both first-generation prints and copy negatives made by the newspaper.
The Nathan analysis of the photo prints and negs (reportedly) showed there was some kind of light beam emanating from the underside of the object. The analysis also ruled out that the object was something that was dangling in the air from a string or wire.
Years later some people claimed to have a found a "string like object" in the photos but in 1993 a MUFON photo analyst re-examined all the data and the photos from their initial investigation and rejected the string theory (they said it was an “artifact” generated by the photos being copied and recopied so many times).
TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE?
According to NICAP, persons unknown attempted to tamper with evidence and “manipulate information.” So the story goes, the copy negatives of Heflin's famous photos were at some point obtained from Heflin “under false pretenses” by some men claiming to be from the North American Air Defense Command.
The Air Force said if there ever were such people claiming to be from NORAD who came to get the photos, they were most certainly not from the Air Force or NORAD. Implication being: they were imposters, if they ever existed.
In the end the conclusion of UFO investigators was and is the case is a credible, thoroughly investigated sighting and meets all the criteria for evidence of a legit UFO -- which means it is simply a "legitimate" Unidentified Flying Object which brings us right back to that very day in 1965 when Heflin took the photos.
No more, no less.
Now, there is a fellow (named Marvin) who has done his own rather interesting analysis of the photos and he claims, "The odds are not in favor of a large free flying object remaining the same distance (to the camera) and altitude in both Photo #2 and Photo #3. The evidence supports a small object suspended from the truck near the mirror."
He notes that Heflin never filed any UFO report and we know from other sources that Heflin never sought any publicity (how the photos became public was actually by accident, more or less) so Marvin asks: "Was the whole affair just a practical joke that grew out of control?"
A very good question.
He's put his analysis, with the photos, online. You'll find it here.
P.S. If you ever take a photo of a UFO, send it to us. The merciless, take-no-prisoners, mostly sober (most of the time) crack Investigative Team here at the Chronicle will investigate that bad boy like nobody's business. Make NICAP look they have training wheels on their feet.

WATCH: famous Black Knight UFO myth 'solved' by YouTube novice in just 11 minutes
WATCH: famous Black Knight UFO myth 'solved' by YouTube novice in just 11 minutes
From the nervous, shaky start, you can tell it's his first ever YouTube video.
NASA
The legendary "Black Knight satellite" appears to have been proved as Nasa thermal blanket
The narrator even apologised for his amateur presenting style and asked viewers to bear with him.
But after an 11-minute DIY filming attempt, YouTube user NUA appears to have successfully debunked 1998 photographs of the so-called 'Black Knight satellite'.
Alien researchers have been calling the myth "one of the most convincing pieces of evidence for the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life" for the past 17 years, while some claim it has orbited Earth for at least 13,000 years.
NASA
Nasa footage of Endeavour astronauts working with thermal blanket (ringed) on ISS
"There she goes" - dropped thermal blanket floats from ISS
But NUA's video - titled "Black Knight Satellite UFO Documentary - Truth Exposed 2015 - (Debunked)" - claims to conclusively prove the 'Black Knight', as photographed in 1998 NASA images, was nothing more than a satellite thermal blanket lost by the crew of the Endeavor space shuttle as they worked on the developing the International Space Station (ISS).
In his video, NUA compared NASA video of the Endeavor mission which shows a thermal blanket on the ISS.
The same blanket is then seen being dropped by the crew as it tubules away into space.
He highlights the blanket as being exactly the same shape as the 'Black Knight' in the 1998 pictures seized on by conspiracists and explains that the object only appeared to change shape because it was turning as it fell away.
After releasing the pictures in 1998, NASA said it was a thermal blanket, but it did not stop a wave of conspiracists branding it a huge cover up.
The legend of the alien satellite seems to have then been retrospectively dated back to 1899 when Nicola Tesla announced he was picking up radio waves coming from space, prompting people to suggest something alien was out there.
NASA
...and gets further and further away
NASA•NUA•YouTube
NUA has forensically compared shape of blanket to Black Knight and concluded they are the same
It is not a UFO. It is identified. It is a thermal blanket. It is just an unfortunate case of misidentification.
YouTube UFO researcher NUA
Experiments in 1928 in Oslo, Norway, picked up the same signals.
In 1954, US state newspapers carried quotes from Donald Keyhoe, a retired naval aviation major and UFO researcher, claiming the US Air Force had detected two satellites orbiting Earth, despite none yet being launched from our planet.
Time then ran a 1960 piece, following the launch of satellites from Earth, stating that the US Navy detected a dark object, possibly a Soviet spy satellite, with a highly irregular orbit.
The myth developed in 1963 when NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper was reported as saying he had seen the 'Black Knight Satellite' while in space, but there was a media blackout upon his return and the US space agency allegedly put it down to cosmic hallucinations.
It has been reported that a decade later in 1973, a researcher from Scotland, Duncan Lunan, looked back at the Norwegian scientists' data from 1928, before claiming the "messages" suggested the 'Black Knight' was sent by aliens from Epsilon Boötis, as a welcome message to Earth 12,600 years ago.
Many sceptics claim the legend was retrospectively created after the 1998 pictures emerged, with the preceding odd events weaved into the story to make it more convincing.
NASA•NUA•YouTube
He has looked at it from all angles to spot identical features
NASA•NUA•YouTube
Do you agree NUA has solved the Black Knight mystery?
The noises from 1899 and 1928 remain a mystery, but the possible causes do not so far include an alien satellite, according to scientists.
They insist research shows that in 1954 Mr Keyhoe had been promoting a UFO book and the articles had been written in a tongue-in-cheek fashion by the papers.
A follow-up, but less widely read, article in Time also confirmed that the strange satellite had in fact been the remains of an Air Force Discoverer satellite that had gone astray, they found.
There are reports that Mr Cooper, although maintaining he saw a number of UFOs in space, never claimed to have seen the 'Black Knight satellite' on that mission or at all.
Mr Lunan is also later reported to have denied suggesting any alien satellite had its origins 12,600 years ago and that his conclusion that the noises were a star map were from unscientific methods.
Despite NUA's video, many UFO researchers refuse to believe the fabled 'Black Knight satellite' could be just a thermal blanket, insisting, it is a craft of solid construction.
One 'Black Knight' believer posted online about the thermal blanket explanation: "Classic debunking (rubbish). The things these nutters will come up with just so someone will listen to them."
Groot ruimteschip verlicht ruimtestation ISS ( Video )
Groot ruimteschip verlicht ruimtestation ISS ( Video )
Voor iemand die de gebeurtenissen rondom het ISS ruimtestation op regelmatige basis volgt, is het onvoorstelbaar dat hiervan zo goed als niets terug te vinden is in het mainstream nieuws.
Zelfs een enorm ruimteschip dat ’s nachts het ISS ruimtestation verlicht, haalt de “normale pers” niet eens.
Het lijkt wel alsof mensen volkomen blind zijn voor wat er zich boven hun hoofden afspeelt of misschien is het simpelweg de angst voor het onbekende.
“Als we net doen alsof we het niet zien, dan bestaat het ook niet”.
Mensen zoals ufoloog Scott Waring die zich iedere minuut van hun vrije tijd bezighouden met onbekende objecten in de lucht zien vaak bijzondere dingen.
Zo ontdekte hij via de camerabeelden van NASA een UFO die op gelijke hoogte met het ruimtestation bleef meevliegen, af en toe vertraagde en versnelde om dan vervolgens weer voorbij te komen.
Naast deze UFO ontdekte hij nog een enorm ruimteschip, pal boven het ISS. Op de volgende afbeelding zie je de UFO en helemaal bovenin een deel van het ruimteschip.
Dan, op een zeker moment begint het ruimtestation in de nacht op te lichten door het grote ruimteschip. Een soort gloeiend blauwachtig/paars licht schijnt van bovenaf richting ruimtestation.
Het was volgens Scott ook niet bepaald een klein ruimteschip wat het ruimtestation verlichtte. Al het bovenstaande is vastgelegd op de video hieronder met commentaar van Scott Waring.
One of the credible witnesses in this world full of cruel people is the kids. Though, this is not an absolute principle; their stories are worth hearing. Unidentified Flying Objects are those objects flying in the sky, cannot be identified. It does not necessarily link to aliens, but most people relate it to them because aliens and extraterrestrial beings somehow exist in our stories. Who would make it, if it is not a man-made phenomenon?
Recently, there is a clip about the boy being captured on the mobile phone owned by the parents. Since the parents are concerned, they decide to send it to the “experts” for confirmation and verification. This strange footage was being recorded by a nine-year-old boy admitting that an alien had been following him every single day for two weeks. At first, his parents did not believe. However, the young boy was able to film the object, they considered the explanations. The object is flying around while changing its direction. Afterward, it vanishes in the midair.
According to the experts, the footage is a proof of alien craft following children. In fact, they camouflage themselves from parents to abduct the child. One YouTube comment said that the aircraft is almost invisible to the parents but visible to the child. Because of this, the object is frightening. The report is in connection with those recently claimed that there are strange objects following children, tantamount to a presumption to abduct them. While the story is unbelievable, the fact that the child was able to record the footage, it is a substantial proof that the incident is not fiction or a product of excessive imagination.
When you look closer, you’ll see the shifts of craft shape that changes its direction before dematerialising. It is normal for the viewers to share their opinions online. One audience even believed that the video is of title accusation, is more a reflection of the mindset of the uploader, than proof of anything nefarious on behalf of the craft pilot.
Australia’s Northern Territory is known as the UFO capital of Australia. The Northern Territory records more UFO sightings than any other area of Australia and is known as an hotspot for UFO sightings. Sightings are reported year round from the Top End in Darwin all the way to Alice Springs in the Victoria River Region.
Jason Hampton who lives in Australia’s Top End. The Top End of Australia’s Northern Territory is a geographical region encompassing the northernmost section of the Northern Territory, which is the second northernmost part of the Australian continent. The photos were made in Bynoe Harbour near the Crab Claw Island Resort on May 22nd 2015 at about 11:30 a.m. The photos were taken with a Canon 5D Mark III camera.
One photograph is the original and the other is made using a filter. Hampton took 6 pictures within a minute of some guys coming in from a fishing trip and saw nothing in the sky. Two weeks later when checking the photographs he noticed an object just to the right of the boat that he can’t explain!
“It has a flat area at the front that tapers down as well as a shiny area on the left so its not a bird,” according to the editor of http://www.ufoterritory.com.au/

Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut, Speaks Out on Roswell & the Existence of Aliens
Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut, Speaks Out on Roswell & the Existence of Aliens
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell walks on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission. (NASA)
Recently, U.K. tabloid The Mirror, published a story quoting Apollo 14 Astronaut and sixth man to walk on the Moon, Edgar Mitchell, as saying that “Peace-loving aliens tried to save America from nuclear war.” To follow up on this claim and prior statements made to the Observer, we called Edgar Mitchell for a short follow up interview.
While the existence of extraterrestrials has always been a fascination driven by science fiction and supposed UFO sightings, this is not a claim you regularly hear from people who have actually been to space. Most recently, with the discovery of the potentially life-harboring planet Kepler 452b and NASA’s new mission to look for water and life on Jupiter’s moon Europa, the topic is once again in the mainstream and up for fierce debate.
I’d like to follow up on some of your previous comments regarding extraterrestrial life. Going back to the Roswell incident, many believe the crashing of an alien craft was covered up by the government—which supports your claim made in our previous interview. Is there anything that you know that differs from what the public is aware of?
Well I think it’s out there in the public. Circumstances were of course, that the Roswell incident was a post World War II event. We were doing nuclear testing over in the White Sands proving ground which was right across the mountain from Roswell and the Roswell Air Field was a military base supporting that. So it seems that most likely what the aliens were interested in was the fact we had a weapons testing facility at the White Sands Proving Ground and were also interested in what we were doing or what the U.S. military was doing.
What exactly were these crashed aliens doing there?
They were observing our activities at the White Sands proving ground and were monitoring our development.
A story went viral two weeks ago citing you as saying, “My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.” Can you elaborate?
I don’t remember speaking to them personally. I don’t know where they got that information. I didn’t make those statements. Somebody has added to my words. Those weren’t my exact words but I don’t necessarily disagree with those statements.
But have you been told by individuals who worked at the White Sands nuclear testing facility that there was UFO activity?
Yes I have.
The Roswell Daily Record from July 8, 1947 sparked years of conspiracy theories of government coverup. (Wikimedia)
You grew up near the site of the Roswell incident. Did you ever see any UFOs?
No, I have not personally, but I’ve spoken to individuals who were in the military and worked at the base at the time. You mentioned in a previous interview that the existence of extraterrestrials was being kept from the public because of the technology they can offer and that may affect the ‘moneyed’ interest.
Who are these people that keep the information secret?
Whoever sets the stage for military or government activity. We’ll probably never know the exact reason for why they do what they do but those are the interpretations that seem common. Switching gears now, I recently interviewed a startup that you sit on the advisory board of, SpaceVR.
Do you think their technology will assist consumers in experiencing a similar effect you had during Apollo 14?
They could react to it that way. There’s a long history in human civilization where people have these powerful effects and responses to different perspectives. My experience in space is what people call a samadhi experience. I think that back in time people were having these kinds of experiences and being overwhelmed by them. Seeing the big picture. That seems to go back in history. You’ll find that those kinds of experiences have been around a long time.
Samadhi—is that a term from Hinduism?
I think that came out of the hindu tradition, yes. In the greek tradition it was metanoia—change of mind, change of heart. I believe in the Buddhist tradition Satori was enlightenment. In other words, these various traditions of the past have added the sub verbiage to these types of expressions of people’s reactions to a new experience of some sort. A powerful experience that caused a change of thinking.
Do you subscribe to any one religion?
Let’s put it this way, I think most of our religions are early attempts at cosmology. In other words, explaining ourselves. How did we get here? Where are we going? Where did all this come from? How did it happen? People from all times have asked these sorts of questions and they came up with their own answers throughout history. Thats perfectly natural. All of our religious experiences are the same thing. Attempts to answer these ancient cosmological questions.
You have been cited many times when discussing the future of quantum physics as a science that could link spirituality and consciousness to everyday science. Can you explain this?
Well let’s put it in context. Quantum physics didn’t exist until the 20th century. It was the result of the work of Max Planck, Albert Einstein and the greats at the end of the 19th and into the 20th century. When quantum physics was formalized, we recognized the interactions between particles and that’s when we started to explain it. The awareness of particles and their interactions down at that level of nature have not been studied or understood before. That’s the quantum world as we understand it. We now know that particles interact. That they are aware of each other. We use that term that they are “aware” because they interact to each other. That was only quantified in the early 20th century. In the 1920s, quantum mechanics had a fairly good scientific organization and it’s taken us all the 20th century to be able to explain that these particles can show consciousness and awareness.
I think we can have a science for it.

Astronaut: "Er waren UFO's bij Roswell, maar dat is stilgehouden vanwege de technologie die ze gebruiken" Astronaut: “Er waren UFO’s bij Roswell, maar dat is stilgehouden vanwege de technologie die ze gebruiken”
Astronaut: “Er waren UFO’s bij Roswell, maar dat is stilgehouden vanwege de technologie die ze gebruiken”
Apollo 14-astronaut Edgar Mitchell sprak onlangs in een interview met Observer.com over UFO’s en het beroemde Roswellincident. Volgens velen is er in de jaren veertig een UFO gecrasht bij het Amerikaanse plaatsje.
Mitchell, die in het gebied opgroeide, zei dat hij zelf nog nooit een UFO heeft gezien. Hij zei wel te hebben gesproken met mensen die op de nucleaire basis White Sands hadden gewerkt. Die bevestigden tegenover hem dat er UFO-activiteit was geweest.
Hij zei ook dat het incident geheim is gehouden vanwege de technologie die uit de UFO’s kon worden gehaald door ‘vermogende partijen’. Hij doelde hiermee op de mensen die achter de schermen het overheidsbeleid uitstippelen en het leger aansturen.
De 84-jarige Mitchell maakte deel uit van de Apollo 14-missie in 1971 en was de zesde maanwandelaar ooit. Hij is dus niet zomaar iemand. Volgens Mitchell vlogen aliens met hun UFO’s boven Amerikaanse raketbases en boven White Sands, waar in 1945 de atoombom Trinity werd gedropt, om zich te informeren over de militaire kracht van de Amerikanen.
Uit gesprekken met mensen bleek duidelijk dat de buitenaardse wezens wilden voorkomen dat Amerika oorlog zou voeren, zei hij. Luchtmachtofficieren die de raketbases in de Koude Oorlog bemanden zeiden tegen hem dat er toen geregeld UFO’s werden gespot. Die zouden raketten vaak onklaar hebben gemaakt, met name aan de Pacifische kust. “In die dagen was er hevige activiteit,” zei Mitchell. Vond je dit interessant? Denk er dan aan het artikel te delen op Facebook.
Flitsende UFO-formatie niet opgemerkt door publiek ( Video )
Flitsende UFO-formatie niet opgemerkt door publiek ( Video )
Een man is met zijn gezin aan het wandelen in Chicago wanneer hij plotseling iets in de lucht ziet.
Hij maakt er een prachtige opname van, maar verbaast zich erover dat de rest van de bevolking dit simpelweg niet lijkt te zien.
Vorige week schreven wij een artikel over dat een formatie van drie UFO’s relatief vaak voor komt.
Wij ontvingen enkele interessante foto’s van een lezer die genomen zijn in de buurt van Steenbergen (Noord-Brabant) en die niet alleen enkele bijzondere wolken tonen, maar ook een driehoekige UFO-formatie.
Ik zie geen link waar ik m'n zojuist gemaakte foto kan doorsturen van wolken die redelijk in de buurt komen van wat onlangs passeerde op deze site. Het grappige is (toeval of niet) dat er 2 formaties van 3 witte bollen te zien zijn in driehoeksvorm in de wolk. Ik heb meerdere foto's gemaakt ter hoogte van Steenbergen.
Voor wie beschikt over goede ogen; in de laatste foto zijn er zelfs 3 formaties te zien.
Voor wie ze niet heeft kunnen ontdekken, volgt hier een kort filmpje waarbij de lezer aanwijst waar de UFO-formaties zich bevinden:
Naast de driehoeksformatie of drie UFO’s is er nog een verschijningsvorm van deze objecten die de laatste tijd veelvuldig voorkomt.
Dat is de flitsende UFO die vaak wordt gezien als een soort ronde cirkel. Wat we bedoelen is duidelijk te zien op de volgende foto die is genomen door een vrouw in het plaatsje Bismarck in de Amerikaanse staat North Dakota.
De vrouw heeft geen flauw benul wat voor object het is.
In dezelfde staat, maar in een plaats iets meer dan honderd kilometer verderop, werd in Dickinson ook een dergelijke UFO gezien. Beide waarnemingen vonden niet op dezelfde dag plaats voor zover wij kunnen beoordelen.
Ook bij de waarneming in Dickinson waren er een aantal UFO’s zichtbaar in een soort cirkelformatie, waarbij die in het centrum van de cirkel groter was dan de omringende.
De getuige heeft helaas geen foto kunnen maken, maar wel de volgende tekening:
Op een gegeven moment bewogen al de kleinere UFO’s zich weg van de grote in het midden, maar bleven wel exact in dezelfde formatie. Drie tot vijf seconden later kwamen ze allemaal weer netjes terug in hun oorspronkelijke positie.
De gehele voorstelling nam ongeveer een halve minuut in beslag.
Iets vergelijkbaars gebeurde er ook in Chicago op 12 augustus 2015. Een man is samen met zijn gezin aan het wandelen bij de aldaar bekende Buckingham fontein, wanneer hij een aantal vreemde lichten opmerkt in de lucht.
Ook deze UFO’s schijnen zich in eerste instantie in een cirkel te bewegen, maar dan verandert het geheel naar de volgende formatie:
De getuige zegt dat hij zijn leven lang in Chicago heeft gewoond en nog nooit iets dergelijks heeft gezien. Wat hem misschien nog wel het meest verbaasde was dat bijna niemand op de grond dit soort dingen opmerkte.
Iedereen ging gewoon door met wat ze aan het doen waren en ze zagen het niet of ze deden alsof ze het niet zagen.
Ook boven een Turkse stad werd enkele dagen geleden op 24 augustus iets dergelijks gefilmd. Van deze waarneming zijn geen verdere gegevens bekend, maar ook hier een soort cirkelformatie van UFO’s met daar omheen een flitsend licht.
Kortom, we zijn eigenlijk nog geen stap dichterbij een verklaring voor al die onbekende objecten die in ons luchtruim vertoeven. Dat ze er inderdaad zijn, is een discussie die gepasseerd is.
Extraordinary UFO sightings from the US Air Force's Project Blue Book
Extraordinary UFO sightings from the US Air Force's Project Blue Book
Four remarkable stories from the new online database of 130,000 pages of UFO sightings
A photographic negative allegedly showing a fleet of unidentified craft in the skies above Lubbock, Texas
By Morgan Meaker
Between 1947 and 1969, the US Air Force meticulously recorded over 10,000 incidents involving Unidentified Flying Objects. Inside the Project Blue Book archive, which has recently been put online, witnesses described objects as "concave as a soup bowl", "onion-shaped" and resembling "a frosty silvery football" shooting across the sky.
A seed salesman was driving when he saw a flash of light. When he moved closer to the light, his car stopped working.
The light came from a nearby riverbed where he saw an object, resembling a balloon. When he approached the space ship, another flash of light paralysed him.
He was unable to move as two men appeared and began to search him – they asked if he was armed.
After the search, he was able to move again. He asked the men if he could take a closer look at the UFO. They agreed. Inside, he met four men and two women..
They all spoke in German accents and seemed to move around on magnetic fields. The sides, bottom and floor of the ship were perfectly transparent.
After around thirty minutes, they said goodbye. After leaving the UFO, it rose 150ft into the air and disappeared.
At the same time as the sighting, a farmer’s truck broke down two miles away. During the investigation, a blue stain was found on trees near to the scene and green oil was found covering dry leaves.
However the man was assessed by psychiatrists who said his “mental condition” would enjoy publicity. He was later committed to the state mental hospital in Hastings, Nebraska
An Argentinian truck driver was looking for a hotel to spend the night when he saw small red lights, four miles from Isla Verde.
When he got closer to the lights, his engine cut out. Hoping he might find somewhere to stay, he left the car taking with him a blanket and a gun.
He thought he saw the lights of a vehicle. However these lights disappeared and in their place he saw powerful rays of red light coming towards him.
There was a smell of gas that made his eyes and face sting. Frightened, his knees gave way and he shot at the light with his revolver.
In response “the light gave out a sound, like the rapid braking of a car and went backward a few meters”.
He fled into a field looking for a shelter however from a hill two red lights appeared which “reflected” his steps.
The red light continued to follow him as he walked around, confused. Then a blue lit “vineyard shaped vehicle” appeared.
He said it had two small windows and inside he could see someone “but I didn’t see legs or faces, just a body type form”.
Six hundred feet from the object he saw four human beings “or whatever they were”. He asked them questions but nobody replied.
They just walked beside him. They were 6'5" tall with a sparkling uniform.
One of them came very close with a triangular object in his hand. The truck driver was again afraid and so fired another shot and it was “as if a shadow had fallen backwards”.
They returned to the vehicle and the large object passed him overhead. A blue light however did not leave the man until he reached the city.
The investigation confirmed that the truck was at the place the man had said it was and his footprints were also found.
However the US Air Force received only second hand evidence from the Argentinians and decided it was too expensive and too much time had passed to continue the investigation.
Horace Burns was driving his station wagon when he saw a huge metallic object flying in the sky.
It was crossing the highway about 200ft ahead of him when his engine cut dead.
For approximately 90 seconds, the UFO landed lightly, “like a bubble”, in a small field. Burns said it resembled an “upside down toy top” and was about 90ft high.
There was a blue glow around the base of the machine.
The sighting was investigated by a professor at a college in Virginia who passed on his research to the US Air Force.
He said he picked up “tremendously high reading of radiation” at the scene and a 14 year old boy said he had also seen a large UFO travelling in the same direction. The boy’s parents corroborated his story.
The Project Blue Book report reads that there was a lack of evidence and placed the sighting in the psychological category.
A man was riding his bike on the highway when he saw what looked like a “very powerful flare” and four silhouettes that resembled human beings.
Afraid of an ambush, he ran away and stumbled on a nearby house, where he met a couple and told them what he had seen.
Together, the three watched the light as if blinked from white to dull red. Near to the light they saw three men, about 4'9" tall.
They were immobile, dressed in greyish, beige outfits. The light faded and flew away. When they returned to the scene, with the police, they found the highway had been marked with forms, “black as the casting of costly tar”.
The substance was soft and slightly stuck to the ground.
Although the witnesses were described as “very trustworthy people” in the investigation, the report was classed as “unreliable”.

Britain's Roswell: the truth behind the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident
Britain's Roswell: the truth behind the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident
Did an extra-terrestrial craft land in a Suffolk forest during the winter of 1980? The maker of a new film, The Rendlesham UFO Incident, believes so

Dubbed “Britain’s Roswell”, the Rendlesham Forest incident, which took place over a series of nights in December 1980, continues to fascinate UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists. It is easy to understand why. Consider the following three statements, for example:
1) “This was not some vague ‘lights in the sky’ sighting – the UFO actually landed.” – Nick Pope, a Ministry of Defence employee from 1985 to 2006.
2) “When I arrived [at the scene], it was going in and out through the trees and at one stage it was hovering.” – Sgt. Adrian Bustinza, a security police commander who investigated the incident at the time.
3) “Okay, we’re looking at the thing; we’re probably about two to three hundred yards away. It looks like an eye winking at you... And the flash is so bright to the starscope that it almost burns your eye.” – Taken from the Halt tape, recorded on December 27 1980 by United States Air Force lieutenant colonel Charles Halt.
Only last month, a dog walker uploaded fresh footage of unidentified lights in the sky above Rendlesham Forest, while a new film on the subject, produced by long-time Suffolk resident and Rendlesham Forest incident expert Daniel Simpson, has recently been released. There is even an official UFO trail for walkers to follow through Rendlesham Forest. But what actually happened? And, 35 years after the event, are we any closer to unravelling the mystery?
The start of the Rendlesham Forest UFO trail
As the years have passed, the facts have become increasingly hazy, as statements change and new witnesses come forward. But what we do know for sure is that, in the early hours of December 26 1980, US military personnel (sections of the US Air Force were temporarily stationed at RAF bases in Woodbridge and Bentwaters) spotted strange lights above Rendlesham Forest.
One of these men, John Burroughs, accompanied by his supervisor and one other individual, went to investigate the blue, red, orange and white lights. In his subsequent witness statement, published in 1981, Burroughs explains: “As we went down the east-gate road and the road that leads into the forest, the lights were moving back and they appeared to stop in a bunch of trees... Also, the woods lit up and you could hear the farm animals making a lot of noises, and there was a lot of movement in the woods. All three of us hit the ground and whatever it was started moving back towards the open field… We got up to a fence that separated the trees from the open field. You could see the lights down by a farmer’s house. We climbed over the fence and started walking toward the red and blue lights and they just disappeared.”
Jim Penniston, who accompanied Burroughs into Rendlesham Forest on December 26, claims to have encountered a craft, covered in hieroglyphic-like characters. “I estimated it to be about three metres tall and about three metres wide at the base,” Penniston later explained. “No landing gear was apparent, but it seemed like she was on fixed legs. I moved a little closer. I had already taken all 36 pictures on my roll of film. I walked around the craft, and finally, I walked right up to the craft. I noticed the fabric of the shell was more like a smooth, opaque, black glass.”
Burroughs does not recall this. Indentations on the forest floor, as well as damage to the trees in the area where the lights had been spotted, were found the following morning, however. Radiation levels recorded at the site of the indentations were also unusually high.
In the book Encounter in Rendlesham Forest, which was published last year, Penniston writes: “I left the forest a different man… I was in awe of the technology and yes, a knowing that it was not an aircraft which could have been manufactured in 1980 or even now.” Both Penniston and Burroughs have since suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Two nights later, a different set of military personnel experienced a similar series of events. On this occasion, when the lights were spotted, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt was prepared. A pragmatic character, Halt intended to disprove the wild rumours swirling around RAF bases Woodbridge and Bentwaters. Arming himself with a recording device, he set out to investigate. The subsequent audio tape is now considered one of the most valuable pieces of evidence in the Rendlesham Forest incident.
The transcript of the tape runs to some 18 minutes but includes statements from Halt such as: “I see it too... it’s back again... it’s coming this way... there’s no doubt about it... this is weird... it looks like an eye winking at you... it almost burns your eyes... he’s coming toward us now... now we’re observing what appears to be a beam coming down to the ground... one object still hovering over Woodbridge base... beaming down”. Halt has since given interviews in which he claims that these occurrences were picked up by British radar. “I didn’t know this until recently,” he told AOL News. “Because people have come forward after they’ve retired. There were two radar confirmations.”
The following night, December 28, one final group of men claim to have encountered something out of the ordinary in Rendlesham Forest. Larry Warren, an 18-year-old soldier who was not even at either RAF base on the night of the first incident, was sent out on patrol with Sgt Adrian Bustinza and a number of other military personnel. Sometime after 11pm, the men departed their trucks and headed towards the field where lights had been seen on the previous two nights.
There, Warren claims to have seen “disaster preparedness officers out here with geiger counters, going in an almost half-clockwise motion around this thing on the ground.” A small red light was then seen approaching from the direction of the coast. “It moved in a downward arc, so fast. [It] stopped and hovered about 20 feet off the ground,” said Warren. “It was the size of a basketball, [an] American basketball. [It was] self-illuminated, not quite red, yet that’s the closest I can describe it.”
Things were about to get even stranger, though. This red light suddenly exploded and a craft appeared on the forest floor. According to Warren, it had “no windows, no markings, no flag or country of origin. Nothing. You could hardly look at it head on, and if you looked at it through the side of your peripheral vision you’d get a shape of it… and there it was, clear as a bell.”

At this stage, Warren and Bustinza were asked to retreat by a senior man. From a distance, they then claim to have witnessed Wing Commander Gordon Williams approach the craft and encounter some alien being with “what looked like eyes, facial features, bright clothing and some other device.” Warren is clear that a “silent stand-off”, rather than any communication, took place.
At around 4.30am, Warren returned to his base but Bustinza claims to have seen the craft depart. “When it took off, it was, like, hovering. It went up and, like, took off at about a forty-five-degree angle, and if you would have blinked, you would have missed it… And we got a cold draft of air that lasted about a good ten seconds. You know, like when you get a good blow of dust or wind. No noise though; I do remember that.”
It is understood that almost half of all UFO correspondence directed at the Ministry of Defence relates to the Rendlesham Forest incident. Despite claims of a cover-up, the MoD’s stance has never wavered. It states: “No evidence was found of any threat to the defence of the United Kingdom, and no further investigations were carried out. No further information has come to light which alters our view that the sightings of these lights was of no defence significance.”
Daniel Simpson takes a different view, however. The director of The Rendlesham UFO Incident, a fictionalised account of the story set in the modern day and filmed on location in Rendlesham Forest, is convinced that either there has been a military cover-up or that something extra-terrestrial occurred in December 1980. And moreover, he believes he has uncovered further evidence to prove it. While filming in Rendlesham Forest – “It does have a very strong atmosphere of something strange” – he asked the Forestry Commission to investigate a series of hatches, which Simpson describes as “mysterious”.
“I got the Forestry Commission to tow one of those hatches off with a four wheel drive and there’s a ladder going down,” he explains, as we discuss his film. “Now, they will tell you that those are drainage systems for the airfield but it’s a very elaborate drainage system.”
A drawing from Jim Penniston's original witness statement
Simpson believes that “the twin bases [RAF Woodbridge and Bentwaters] are connected by tunnels underneath, which isn’t that far out a thing to suggest, because a lot of these bases do have an underground facility, especially as it’s a nuclear facility. You don’t keep nuclear weapons on ground level, they have to drop down.”
He continues: “I recently heard a very interesting story of a guy that went up to the Bentwaters air base and, because it’s privately owned, some of those buildings are rented out to people. A company up there wanted to have their internet sorted out and this guy dug down and – he was a telecom guy – he came back and he was sheet white. He couldn’t believe it. He said he’d just come across these cables, two foot down, and they were cables delivering such a powerful internet connection – but they were cables from 1980. I haven’t ever told anyone that story. They [the cables] were from 1980 and yet they were so in advance of what we’ve even got now. I’m told that all the time what we get [technologically] is much behind what they [the military] actually know.”
So what, I wonder, is the truth? Simpson appears conflicted about whether this is a military cover-up at a nuclear facility or something even more alarming. “I honestly believe something very strange went on there and I believe that somewhere is the evidence to prove it but that’s hidden away. I think it’s an extra-terrestrial encounter. I do.”
I put a series of theories to Simpson, which I hope might explain away the idea that extra-terrestrial life landed in a forest in Suffolk 35 years ago. But he bats them all away. Could the lights have come from nearby Orford Ness lighthouse, for example? “The lighthouse theory is rubbish,” he scoffs. “Lighthouses don’t fly down into forests, split up into five different lights and zap off into space at Mach-3. They don’t move through the trees and get mistaken by up to 20 witnesses from the United States Air Force.”
Daniel Simpson's film, The Rendlesham UFO Incident, was shot on location in Rendlesham Forest
The Rendlesham UFO Incident is out now on DVD

City On Mars Inside Alien Skull Found In India Mars Photo, Aug 27, 2015, UFO Sighting News.
City On Mars Inside Alien Skull Found In India Mars Photo, Aug 27, 2015, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: August 27, 2015 Location of discovery: Ophir Chasma, Mars Source photo: http://www.isro.gov.in/pslv-c25-mars-orbiter-mission/3d-portrayals-of-ophir-chasma-terrain Was reading in the news that India Mars orbiter had taken some fantastic photos and they were sharing some with the news. I had to dive in head first on this one. I was looking for structures and faces, but what I found was a combination of both. This structure is actually in the shape of an alien shoulders, neck, cranium and face, but the eerie part is that the head is split wide open, and there are structures inside this head. There is also another face inside the head, but it was to dark with the shadows to bother trying to point it out. I added yellow to outline the outer body, pink being the inside of the skull. A city inside a head shaped structure. This is proof that sometimes aliens can be artistic, bizarre, and eerie. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
One of the oldest theories around has to be the 'Black Knight' satellite, a mysterious black object which has been repeatedly referred to in reference to sightings all over the world and indeed even outside of this world.
After a period of absence from the limelight it appears as though the 'Black Knight' is back again, appearing in the sky above Jacksonville, Florida.
Believed to be a '13,000 year-old alien satellite' (no, really), the 'Black Knight' story originates as far back as 1954, however theorists use a series of images taken in 1998 by the Space Shuttle Endeavour which showed a mysterious black object apparently in orbit around the Earth.
NASA quickly dealt with the 'rumour' calling it nothing more than a thermal heat plate that had fallen off the shuttle.
Of course once a theorist gets hold of a good set of images you're unlikely to keep them quiet and the idea has persisted ever since.
YouTube user "secureteam10" who posted the video has a history of posting UFO videos that could be considered 'dubious' by even the most believing of theorists.
That hasn't stopped the video from getting over 133,000 views though, cementing the one singular truth that comes out of every 'UFO discovery'. Whether you believe them or not, people don't want us to be alone in the universe, and in some ways, that's pretty reassuring.
