UFOs May Be Mining Volcanoes For Liquid Gold
UFOs May Be Mining Volcanoes For Liquid Gold
Why are so many UFO sightings above or around active and inactive volcanoes? Theories abound. Are volcanoes portals to an underground alien world? Do UFOs refuel using geothermal power? Are aliens protecting humans from volcanic harm? A new discovery in New Zealand has spawned a new theory – UFOs may be mining volcanoes for liquid gold and other precious metals.
Is this UFO over Popocatépetl Volcano in Mexico mining for liquid gold?
According to a recent report in the journal Geothermics, geologists digging in the Taupo Volcanic Zone in New Zealand have discovered at least 18 huge underground reservoirs of what may amount to millions of dollars of molten gold, silver and other precious metals. Stuart Simmons, a geologist at the University of Utah, gave this estimate:
The total amounts of aqueous gold and silver in reservoirs could be on the order of tens of thousands of ounces of gold and hundreds of thousands of ounces of silver, or more.
The Taupo Volcanic Zone is a highly-active V-shaped chain of volcanoes, volcanic vents and geothermal fields. That activity creates intense heat and boiling acidic water which eat away at the surrounding rocks, releasing their gold and other metals into reservoirs of water. In some places, like the Champagne Pool near Lake Taupo, the deposits accumulate around the edges of the pools.
Gold accumulation around the edge of Champagne Pool
These reservoirs filled with gold are beneath Rotokawa, Molkai and other geothermal power stations, which are designed to tap geothermal energy, not liquid gold and silver. To remove these metals, new technologies must be developed to bring them out without disturbing the magma and boiling reservoirs. Why? Think fracking with earthquakes AND volcanoes.
All that’s missing from this explanation is the UFO
Who might have this technology already? Aliens!
It’s long been theorized that aliens used ancient Earth civilizations to mine for gold. Perhaps they’ve automated the process. Why use humans and run the risk that they keep the gold for themselves when you could just suck liquid gold and silver right out of volcanoes? The metals could then be used for parts, alien jewelry or some other unknown reasons. Those UFOs seen around active volcanoes may be scouting for hot metals or possible even mining them via teleportation.
What do you think? Are UFOs removing liquid gold, silver and other precious metals from our volcanoes? If they are, what should we do about it?
MAGNIFICENT PHOTO OF AN ALIEN CRAFT FROM NASAAUGUST 2015
UFO Sightings Daily reported an apparent UFO that flew close to the Gemini 5 mission apparently seen over NASA archives. The website is own by Scott C. Waring, a businessman in Taiwan and a man formerly affiliated with the U.S. Air Force at SAC base.
In this particular report, Waring included the original image of the alleged alien UFO together with a video from YouTube. The website claims that the image was taken from the official NASA archives.
The report mentions the shape of the UFO and talks about how it flew close to the Gemini module. According to Waring, the ring UFO appears to be very near to the Gemini, which is located in Earth’s orbit.
Waring says that it’s clear enough to determine that the mysterious UFO was flying close to the Gemini Mission because of the detailed image. However, it’s a challenge to determine the edges of the object because the UFO appeared to be surrounded by an aura. Scott Waring believes that the unusual object is made of white ceramic, which is one of three things consistent with alien structures.
AMAZING ALIEN UFO DISC SPOTTED IN THE WILDERNESS OF CANADAJULY 1965
…… 70 MILES NOTTH OF HAZELTON BRITICH COLUMBIA CANADA
On the sunny July morning in 1965 that John Hembling, geologist and exploration manager for a mining company, and a companion geologist stepped from a helicopter atop a mountain ridge in north-central British Columbia they expected it would be another routine day of reconnaissance and survey.
For several weeks they had been studying this mineral-rich terrain about 70 miles north of-Hazelton. Working above the timberline they had a sweeping view of the country’s rocky peaks, some of which already bore the mark of mining development. Soon they would submit their report on the feasibility of further development.
But on this particular day they were to have the unexpected opportunity of making a study of a much different sort. “It was about 10 o’clock and we had just set up our equipment after the helicopter left,” Hembllng told us, “when we saw a silvery object, shining in the sun, appear over a small ridge below us. It had a flattened-out look and our first reaction was that it was some kind of delta-wing aircraft. We soon realized it was not.”
Facing west away from the sun, with the object below them about half a mile away, they had a clear view of what was happening. “The object was about 50 ft. in diameter,” he said. “On top of its dome there was a little knob, and around the base of the dome there were circular markings. They might have been some kind of riveting, or even windows.
They were a bit too small to tell. “Below these, on the face of the disc itself, there were larger rectangular markings which could have been glass or metallic. Our impression was that they were windows. As far as we could see, there were three of them.” As the two men watched in astonishment, the object moved slowly across the ridge until it was above a small glacial lake, barely more than a pond. Hovering there an instant, it then descended to less than 50ft. above the water. Again it hovered and, to the men’s further amazement, lowered a pipe-like instrument from its underside into the water.
“At first we thought it was something like a rope-ladder,” Hembling said, “but it didn’t just drop down. It came out smoothly and steadily as if under mechanical control.” During this procedure the observers were conscious of a humming sound from the object “like a quiet electric motor.” With its appendage in the lake, the disc then rotated slowly like a water-borne top until its “windows” faced the two men. “We had a distinct feeling It knew we were there,” Hembling said. After remaining in that position for about eight minutes—as the men judged it–the object withdrew its “pipe” as carefully as it had lowered it.
“It climbed slowly, then all of a sudden it was off,” Hembling said. “It shot over the ridge, made a sharp turn without skidding and was out of sight in about 20 seconds. We figured it had gone 20 or 25 miles by the time it disappeared.” That would give it a speed of at least 3,600 m.p.h.
Sanskrit Writings Reveal UFOs Visited India More than 6000 Years Ago
Sanskrit Writings Reveal UFOs Visited India More than 6000 Years Ago
Did you know that NASA recently brought together scientists, philosophers and theologians from all over the planet to prepare the world for extraterrestrial contact?? You can read more about that here.
India’s greatest writings, the Vedas, talk about ‘flying ships’ or UFOs that visited the continent likely more than 6000 years ago.
“I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade . . .I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within 20-30 years.”
It isn’t going to take that long. UFOs have already been visiting us for centuries.
Stofan goes on to say:
“We’re on the verge of things that people have wondered about for millennia. Within all of our lifetimes we’re going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system. We’re going to understand the implications of that for life here on Earth.”
The truth is – people haven’t just wondered. They’ve known. Visitations by other-worldly beings have been happening through many cultures around the world, possibly for eons, and this is ‘disclosed’ in numerous ancient documents.
When the military industrial complex, or, NASA, as a small part of the cabal strong arm ‘discloses’ that ‘we’re going to have definitive evidence within decades’ it’s a ruse. Even JFK’s murder, and the silencing of thousands of whistleblowers is less astounding when you consider how long many human beings have been aware of the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial beings. While the efforts to hide this fact from modern humanity have been circumspect in the least, this news has very much been out in the open for those willing to look.
Only in very recent times have human beings questioned whether or not we were joined by other life forms in this universe. There is good reason for this.
The Vedas illustrated two main categories for UFOs. They are described in Sanskrit, using terms that are normally reserved to describe architecture, automata, military siege engines, and other mechanical contrivances, or in more recent works, such as the Mahabharata, the Puranas, and the Ramayana, there are more descriptions. One book called the Vaimanika Shastra (The Science of Aeronautics) is said to have been downloaded while a yogic sage was deep in trance, and it supposedly contains much knowledge from the Akashic records. Some of these texts infer that these crafts were controlled with our minds – essentially utilizing advanced technology which has been withheld from the masses in modern times.
Levitation and anti-gravity could have been utilized for centuries. Boeing, the world’s largest aircraft carrier manufacturer, recently declared that they were ‘working on’ anti-gravity and that it would ‘alter the entire aerospace industry,’ but they aren’t working on anything new.
Many believe that the Vedas speak of not only off-planet “flying ships” but also human-created craft.
Dr. V. Raghavan, a respected Sanskrit scholar of the University of Madras points to the ancient documents of India to prove that off-planet humans, and aliens alike visited the earth.
Raghavan says:
“Fifty years of researching this ancient work convinces me that there are living being s on other planets, and that they were visiting the earth as far back as 4000 B.C..”
He goes on to explain:
“There is a just a mass of fascinating information about flying machines, even fantastic science fiction weapons, that can be found in translations of the Vedas (scriptures), Indian epics, and other ancient Sanskrit text”.
The scholar explains different types of technologies that appear in the Mahabrahata, and the Ramayanas. Everything from ‘divine light’ to ray weapons, and even some kind of ‘hypnotic weapon’ is described.
When Boeing admits that they are working on anti-gravitation propulsion, “that will change the future of aerospace aviation as we know it,” and Eugene Podkletnov’s gravity beam is said to be able to “punch through brick and warp metal like a sledgehammer,” it becomes clear that some very powerful technologies have been suppressed.
Likely, beings that visited our planet over millennia shared at least some of their advanced technologies with humans.
Though some of these technologies can be used to wage war, some can be used to support life, and in our case, clean up a distressed planet. As Collective Evolution previously reported, multiple scientists have already confirmed that free energy exists.
As the Orion Project explains, “the U.S. Patent Office has a nine-member committee that screens patents in order to protect “national security.” This means that possibly tens of thousands of advanced devices and technologies exist right now.
When disclosure occurs – again – we will learn of technologies hidden in over 4000 ‘unnumbered’ patentsthat the US government keeps hidden, and likely even more than this.
For thousands of years, we’ve been kept in the dark, but this is all about to change – possibly as soon as September.

Vedische geschriften onthullen dat India meer dan 6000 jaar geleden werd bezocht door ‘vliegende schepen’
Vedische geschriften onthullen dat India meer dan 6000 jaar geleden werd bezocht door ‘vliegende schepen’
Wist je dat NASA onlangs wetenschappers, filosofen en theologen van over de hele wereld bijeen heeft gebracht om de wereld voor te bereiden op buitenaards contact?
De Veda’s, de oudste en heiligste geschriften van het hindoeïsme, spreken van ‘vliegende schepen’ of UFO’s die India meer dan 6000 geleden bezochten.
Hoofdwetenschapper Ellen Stofan van de NASA zei pas geleden: “Ik denk dat we binnen nu en 10 jaar sterke aanwijzingen vinden voor het bestaan van leven buiten de aarde. Ik denk dat we tussen 20 en 30 jaar definitief bewijs zullen hebben.”
Akashakroniek
Of worden we misschien al decennialang door UFO’s bezocht, zoals blijkt uit de Vedische geschriften? Vele oude documenten bevatten verhalen over buitenaards bezoek. NASA is onderdeel van de Amerikaanse federale overheid, maar vormt wel een onafhankelijk agentschap. Kunnen we er van op aan dat NASA-wetenschappers de waarheid spreken?
In de Veda’s worden twee soorten UFO’s besproken. Ze worden beschreven in het Sanskriet en staan vooral in de meer recente werken zoals de Mahabharata, de Purana’s en de Ramayana. Eén van de stukken, de Vaimanika Shastra (de wetenschap van de luchtvaart) zou zijn geschreven door een wijsgeer die op dat moment in trance was. Er zou ook veel informatie in staan over de Akashakroniek, een allesdoordringend medium dat ook wel ether wordt genoemd.
In sommige geschriften valt te lezen dat deze vaartuigen met behulp van gedachten werden bestuurd. Wat als er al honderden jaren gebruik wordt gemaakt van technologieën die gebaseerd zijn op levitatie en antizwaartekracht? Boeing maakte onlangs bekend dat ze ‘werken’ aan antizwaartekracht, een technologie die de ‘hele luchtvaartindustrie zou kunnen veranderen’.
Velen geloven dat in de Veda’s wordt gesproken van luchtschepen die door mensen zijn gemaakt. Dr. V. Raghavan (1908-1979), een gerespecteerde wetenschapper van de Universiteit van Madras, wees op oude Indiase documenten die volgens hem bewijzen dat zowel mensen van buiten de aarde als aliens de aarde hebben bezocht.
“Na 50 jaar onderzoek naar deze oude werken ben ik ervan overtuigd dat er levende wezens op andere planeten zijn en dat ze al in 4000 voor Christus de aarde bezochten,” zei hij. “Je komt in de vertalingen van de Veda’s en andere teksten die in het Sanskriet zijn geschreven een grote hoeveelheid fascinerende informatie tegen over vliegende machines.”
De onderzoeker legde uit dat in de Mahabharata en Ramayana verschillende technologieën aan bod komen, van ‘goddelijk licht’ tot straalwapens en ‘hypnotische wapens’. Deelden wezens die onze planeet duizenden jaren geleden bezochten hun geavanceerde technologieën met de mensen die toen leefden? Vond je dit interessant?

“Sensationele resultaten”: Dit oudste houten standbeeld ter wereld verandert onze kijk op oude beschavingen
“Sensationele resultaten”: Dit oudste houten standbeeld ter wereld verandert onze kijk op oude beschavingen
Uit een ‘sensationele’ nieuwe analyse is gebleken dat het Russische houten standbeeld Shigir Idol 11.000 jaar oud is. Het standbeeld, dat bedekt is met cryptische boodschappen, is daarmee veruit het oudste houten beeld ter wereld.
Eerder was het beeld gedateerd op 9500 jaar oud. Duitse wetenschappers hebben echter bepaald dat Shigir Idol nog eens 1500 jaar ouder is. Het Russische standbeeld zou twee keer zo oud zijn als de Egyptische piramides.
“We mogen wel zeggen dat de resultaten sensationeel zijn,” vertelde een medewerker van het museum waar het beeld wordt bewaard. Shigir Idol is in 1890 gevonden in het Oeralgebergte.
Om twijfels over de ouderdom van het standbeeld weg te nemen, werd in het Duitse Mannheim een analyse uitgevoerd in één van de meest geavanceerde laboratoria ter wereld. “De resultaten zijn verbluffend, aangezien de monsters dateren uit het begin van het holoceen,” aldus de medewerker. “We zijn ook te weten gekomen dat het beeld is gemaakt van een lariksboom die tenminste 157 jaar oud was.”
Het monument is 2,8 meter hoog, hoewel het oorspronkelijk liefst 5,3 meter hoog was. Een deel van het artefact ging in het Sovjettijdperk verloren, maar er zijn gedetailleerde tekeningen van gemaakt door archeoloog Vladimir Tolmachev.
Professor Mikhail Zhilin zei over het standbeeld: “Dit is een meesterwerk, dat een gigantische emotionele waarde heeft. Het is een uniek beeld. Nergens ter wereld is er ooit iets gevonden wat erop lijkt. Het ornament bevat gecodeerde informatie. Mensen gaven met behulp van Shigir Idol kennis door.”
De makers van het standbeeld, die in harmonie met de wereld leefden, gaven het zeven gezichten, waarvan slechts één driedimensionaal is. Vind je dit een interessante ontdekking? Denk er dan aan dit artikel te delen op Facebook.
UFO Over Yellowstone Park Caught In Photo, June 22, 2015, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Over Yellowstone Park Caught In Photo, June 22, 2015, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: June 22, 2015 Location of sighting: Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, USA Source: MUFON Photo:http://www.mufoncms.com/files_jeud8334j/69541_submitter_file1__IMG8933Yes.JPG This UFO was reported to MUFON on Aug 18, 2015, but took place back in June. The UFO has a disk shape and is wider in the front. UFOs often are caught when people take a photo of a scene and the UFO happened to be traveling through it at high speed. Usually the speed is to fast for the human eye to notice, but the digital eye cannot be fooled. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Eyewitness states: My friends (husband & wife) were on vacation, driving their car near Yellowstone Nat'l Park WY June 22, 2015 about mid-day. He was the passenger and was taking digital photographs of the Grand Teton mountains as they approached them. When they got back home about 6/30/15, he down-loaded photos and reviewed them. A saucer-like object, except with some strange appendage at the "left end," is clearly visible in the blue sky in one of the photos, but not in the one a minute before or in the one a minute after. Just one lucky photo. Neither person actually saw anything visually that day; "it" just was seen upon reviewing his pictures. My friend was able to zoom-in on the object with his computer software at his house, and I was surprised by the amount of detail that he and I were able to see in or of this object.
For many years, Unidentified Flying Objects have been reported across the world, especially in the United States. The sighting was being reported not only by pilots or researchers but also to typical people or residents. If you are a serious about extraterrestrials, then Roswell is probably something you have well and truly researched. In fact, it is one of the most prominent sightings in New Mexico. It occurred in 1947 when the witnesses reported seeing. In fact, it was being covered up by the alien crash site. The military investigators also claimed that such site is just a simple weather balloon.
When it comes to strange sightings, South Dakota is not immune because there are already numerous sightings being reported this year. While some describe the objects as a cylinder shaped, or disk-shaped, some others witnessed the flashing lights in a diamond formation. On the other hand, residents of the city described a pulsing noise. While some other lasted for seconds, there are those that lasted in minutes. It is noteworthy to remember the happenings in Egan, which the witnesses claimed seeing a bright light with a diamond in shape on February 27, 2015.
With all these sightings, are these the indications that aliens exist? During the Roswell incident in 1947, there are strange accounts that could be left unexplainable. Afterward, the sighting in both Lake County, and Moody County had begun to explain these unbelievable and bizarre reports brought by residents. Whether aliens or not actually exists or not, it must be noted that they are the most favorite subject of the people. When one person claimed to see a strange object flying, such sighting will receive different criticisms. Speculations concerning aliens from the outer space are rampant. Again, with all these sightings, it makes sense that extraterrestrial creatures and extraterrestrial creatures are not stranger of South Dakota. In fact, they have already become increasingly popular.
Whatever happened to the Marshall County cop who hit a UFO?
Whatever happened to the Marshall County cop who hit a UFO?
On Sept. 11, 1979, Val Johnson stood where he says he had been engulfed by a flash of light two weeks earlier, indicated how big the beam was as it approached.Stormi Greener | Star Tribune 1979
At 1:40 a.m. 36 years ago, Marshall County Sheriff's Deputy Val Johnson was on night patrol along a rural section of State Highway 220 near Warren, Minn., when he drove into a ball of white light.
"I noticed a very bright, brilliant light, 8 to 12 inches in diameter, 3 to 4 feet off the ground," Johnson said in a taped police interview. "The edges were very defined."
Johnson drove toward the light, and woke up in the ditch a half-hour later with burns around his eyes. The windshield and one headlight of his 1977 Ford LTD were smashed. Both radio antenna were bent sharply back. The watch on his wrist and the clock on the dash both ticked 14 minutes slow.
The incident turned Johnson into a local legend and national media sensation. And years later, people are still talking about it.
Johnson's squad car is preserved in the Marshall County Museum with a plaque that says: "U.F.O. Car." People still come from miles around to see it. It's an annual display at the Marshall County Fair.
Sometimes former Marshall County Sheriff Dennis Brekke gives talks at the museum about the car and the night his deputy drove it into a ball of light. Police investigated and never drew any conclusions.

But the incident's enduring fame has lingered far beyond Marshall County.
What's known as the "Val Johnson Incident" remains one of the top 10 most influential UFO encounters in history, according Jerome Clark, who wrote about it in his 1998 book, "The UFO Encyclopedia."
Paranormal TV shows like "UFO Files" and "Mysteries at the Museum" filmed reenactments. Even now, people debate the legitimacy of the encounter on online forums.
"It was an extraordinarily important case," Clark said.
Plenty of people have strange experiences on back roads late at night, Clark explained, but very few of them yield any tangible evidence. Fewer still are ever investigated.
But one thing is strikingly absent from the small town museum, the TV shows and online discussions: Val Johnson. When you try to track down Val Johnson, people tend to say he's hard to find, that he's still haunted by what happened to him 36 years ago. A 2013 Pioneer Press article said Johnson "quickly grew tired of interviews" after the incident and is "believed to now live somewhere in Wisconsin."
Sheriff Brekke's wife Louise said Johnson hasn't kept in touch with his old colleagues in Marshall County for three decades, aside from a letter he sent a few years back with no return address.
As it turns out, Johnson isn't that hard to find. He lives in Eau Claire, Wis., and he answers his phone.
At the first mention of UFOs, he laughed aloud.
“It's unexplainable, and will remain so. I'm happy with my mental stability,” said Johnson.
"People don't call about that anymore," he said.
It becomes readily apparent that the details of the Val Johnson incident still enthralling UFO enthusiasts, just don't fascinate Johnson.
"I looked up at the sky and said, 'Well shucks, what happened?'" Johnson recalled. "And then I shuffled on with my life."
He had small kids to raise back then. Hitting a ball of light and ending up in a ditch wasn't close to the most important thing going on in his life.
For almost a year after the incident his phone hardly stopped ringing. He's quoted at the time by Associated Press writer Barbara Dewey saying his wife was "run ragged" by the constant calls. He appeared on Good Morning America, and in dozens of newspapers across the country. For a while, he was a very big deal.
Val Johnson sat inside a Marshall County squad car on Nov. 6, 1979.Regene Radniecki | Star Tribune 1979
"And then other stories came along and pushed me off the front page," he said. "Thank goodness."
Johnson stayed on as deputy for a while after the incident. Then he took a job as chief of police in the nearby town of Oslo, Minn. Locals, he said, never questioned his ability to enforce the law.
In 1982 he was hired to set up the Roseau, Minn., Police Department, but lost the job less than a year later over a funding dispute.
"Once you're a chief of police, and then you get fired," he said, "you're un-hireable."
He was working as a security guard in a Twin Cities mall when a friend got him a job answering the customer service line at 3M.
"He asked me how I'd like to take 60 angry phone calls a day," he recalled, "I said, 'Dang, I can do that.'"
A few years later he retired to 20 acres in Wisconsin. Even then, he said, people sometimes showed up on his front porch with theories about his experience in Marshall County.
"We'd sit in the back yard with lemonade and talk," he said. "They'd tell me what they thought happened to me and I'd nod at the appropriate times. Eventually they'd go away."

Johnson is 71 now. He has a short white beard and thinning white hair. He's retired, living in Eau Claire with his wife, Rosanne. No one has stopped by in years. No one calls about UFOs even when his name airs on television.
He has great-grandchildren.
To this day Johnson won't speculate on what happened to him in 1979. He doesn't think the light he saw was an extraterrestrial — but also won't rule out the possibility. For years, he said, it just hasn't crossed his mind.
"I saw a ball of light," he said. "I drove toward it, and suddenly it was in the car with me. It's unexplainable, and will remain so. I'm happy with my mental stability."
If it seems Johnson's ambivalence could cast some doubt on the famous incident, those passionate about UFOs are unfazed. Clark said it's a textbook UFO encounter coping mechanism.
Clark talked to scores of people involved in UFO encounters for his books. Some became obsessed with what happened to them. Some plunged into denial. Others he said, found peace, refusing to allow an encounter to change their lives.
"If anything," Clark said, "It's a story to tell at the bar, and that's it."

Science Now Says We Have Extraterrestrial DNA
Science Now Says We Have Extraterrestrial DNA
Don’t be alarmed, but you have alien DNA in your genetic code. Science says so.
Scientists from Kazakhstan believe that human DNA was encoded with an extraterrestrial signal by an ancient alien civilization, Discovery.com reports.
They call it “biological SETI” and the researchers claim that the mathematical code in human DNA cannot be explained by evolution.
In a nutshell, we’re living, breathing vessels for some kind of alien message which is more easily used to detect extra terrestrial life than via radio transmission.
“Once fixed, the code might stay unchanged over cosmological timescales; in fact, it is the most durable construct known,” the researchers wrote in scientific journal, Icarus. “Therefore it represents an exceptionally reliable storage for an intelligent signature.
“Once the genome is appropriately rewritten the new code with a signature will stay frozen in the cell and its progeny, which might then be delivered throughspace and time.”
The scientists also claim that human DNA is ordered so precisely that it reveals an “ensemble of arithmetical and ideographical patterns of symbolic language”.
Their research has led the scientists to conclude that we were invented “outside the solar system, already several billion years ago”.
The thesis supports the hypothesis that Earth is the result of interstellar life forms distributed by meteors and comets.
So if we are just vessels for alien communication, exactly what kind of secret message are we carrying in our DNA?
Related:Your entire reality is an elaborate manipulation
And if we were the creation of aliens, who created them?
Secret documents hidden in the library of the Rosicrucians reveal humans’ mysterious past and the inevitable future of the human race.
What was the function of the pyramids? How and why was Atlantis destroyed? Who are the guardians of the secretwisdom?
Were did our creators come from?
Let us open these ancient gates and look into the past and future…
As our readers already know from our previous articles, after the destruction of Atlantis the Shining Ones a group of highly advanced extraterrestrial beings who were our creators and later became worshiped as gods, were scattered over all continents.
The Shining Ones continued their mission and assisted and guided humans in their development. They shared theirknowledge and taught man agriculture, medicine, astronomy, mathematics and everything that was needed for our survival as a species.
The Shining Ones were a superior race and much of what they could accomplish seemed like “magic” to our ancestors. However, these alien beings were no magicians. On the contrary, many of them were skilled scientific technicians. The scientific and technological knowledge of the Shining Ones was and still is beyond our comprehension.
This remarkable alien civilization was fully aware of the danger of revealing all of its knowledge to the humans who were considered a less developed species.
Therefore, the Shining Ones’ secret knowledge was passed on but only to a group of carefully chosen individuals, like pagan priests and initiates of the secret wisdom.
It was their duty to guard and preserve the wisdom of the Shining Ones and so they did…
The secret knowledge of the Shining Ones survived until today, but the teachings of the gods are not easily accessible to any ordinary person. This extraordinary and extremely valuable knowledge has been written down and is locked behind closed doors that are very difficult to open.
The Vatican library is not the only place that is full of secrets. There are also some secret societies that possess uniqueknowledge of our planet’s history.
Today, I would like to write a little about the secret knowledge of the Rosicrucians, a society of mystics, formed in late mediaeval Germany.
According to secret documents in the library of the Rosicrucians, the Greek philosopher Plato (427 or 428 – 347 B.C) was a depositary of the Atlantean tradition and his account is genuine.
Part of the teachings of the Rosicrucians have been revealed to the order’s members by the French Grand Master Raymond Bernard (1923-2006).
According to Raymond Bernard “Atlantis was a highly civilized continent with means of transmission and transportation compared with which ours are nothing. In its time, it was the heart of the world.”
“Colonized” people received knowledge in keeping with their capacities.
In particularly “open” countries, a direct relationship was established by the College of Sages, that is, the highest initiates of the time, guardians of the secret wisdom, and this relationship was marked by a pyramidal temple in the image of the supreme pyramid where the College had its seat in Atlantis, and where its knowledge was preserved.
Only one pyramid, however, has reproduced the supreme pyramid , and even then in a different “measure”; what is known as the Pyramid of Cheops. It perpetuates in the face of the world the totality of Atlantean wisdom, whereas others reveal only part of it.
In the rather near future, “discoveries” beneficial to mankind will put an end to many arguments.
The Atlanteans knew the nature and power of certain cosmic forces, particularly telluric currents, and carefully applied them to agriculture and the harmonious maintenance of the overall balance of these currents, to avoid all geological catastrophes that it was within man’s power to avert.
The pyramids also fulfilled this function because of the duly studied locations in which they were built. Elsewhere, points of protection were sufficient. This was the case, for example, with dolmens and menhirs. They precisely marked places of conjoined forces and focalized universal energy, where efficacious ceremonies could be held.
It was the same with megaliths, many of which can still be seen all over the world in estates, fields, and even cities; but their sole function was to amplify cosmic energy and improve harvests.
It can be considered, moreover, that all these secondary elements were attached, from the standpoint of energy, to the supreme pyramid. The entire earth thus constituted a kind of efficient receptacle for the whole of cosmic forces…
When the supreme pyramid had been unfavorably altered as the result of ignorant and ambitious intrigues, the planetary catastrophe that engulfed Atlantis transformed the surface of the earth and became engraved in the folk imagination under the inaccurate name of the Deluge.
In the basis of the teachings of authentic African secret societies, a particle of the Atlantean wisdom has been preserved.
At the time of the catastrophe, the supreme sages took refuge in Egypt. They had safeguarded the scientific and technical knowledge that made Atlantis a continent whose civilization has never been equaled, not even in our time…
The sages did not reconstitute the Empire, because of what happened and because this in accordance with the universal plan. It is the whole world that is called upon to become the New Atlantis… The human will is always free. Once again, and for the last time, mankind will face an ultimate choice from which will result either an era of extraordinary civilization or the end, not of a continent this time, but of the world.
This time of choice is approaching. It will be marked b the reappearance of Atlantis, the resurgence of the vanished continent before the astonished human race.
The Sages have guided our development. The have given men the discoveries that were suggested to him, as soon as he was able to understand, receive, and use each of them without danger; they have delivered, in the strictest sense of the word, the scientific and technical knowledge acquired by the Atlanteans and preserved by them and their successors…
The knowledge of the Atlanteans came from another galaxy and was brought by those who became the first rulers of Atlantis. Some of these extraterrestrials returned to their home, others remained on earth to carry out a mission, all of the world’s civilizations come from this second group.” Bernard Raymond – L’empire Invisible
In other words, the creators of humanity were extraterrestrials and can we all consider ourselves children of the stars…

OVNI : Un ancien pilote militaire révèle sa rencontre
OVNI : Un ancien pilote militaire révèle sa rencontre
ns la nuit du 6 février 1975, le capitaine d’escadron de marine de réserve Larry Jividen pilotait un Sabreliner T-39D (voir image ci-dessus) avion d’entrainement au combat et de service avec cinq pilotes officiers de marine à bord pour un vol d’entraînement spécial. Il ne savait pas que la soirée se transformerait en un jeu du «chat et de la souris» avec un objet volant non identifié.
Jividen n’a jamais parlé de son expérience depuis presque 40 ans — jusqu’à maintenant.
L’officier du Corps des Marines depuis 9 ans - et plus tard pilote de ligne commerciale - avait décollé au crépuscule pour un aller-retour de deux heures qui a commencé et s’est terminé à la Station Aéronavale de Pensacola, en Floride.
“Aux environs de 9 heures, nous descendions d’une haute altitude — environ 33,000 pieds – et j’ai regardé sur le côté droit de l’avion où j’ai vu une lumière rouge fixe à notre position et altitude de 01:00 heure ”, a dit Jividen au Huffington Post.
“Il ne clignotait pas comme les feux anti-collision normaux des avions. J’ai pensé que ça pouvait être quelque autre traffic, mais je n’étais pas sûr alors j’ai appelé la tour de contrôle et dit, « Comprenez que nous avons l’autorisation d’approche, mais nous avons un trafic sur notre droite, qui passe en premier pour l’approche ?”
Le trafic que Jividen et les cinq autres membres de l’équipage ont vu a été mutuellement décrit comme «un objet solide circulaire ayant la taille relative d’une bille de gamin tenue à bout de bras», s’est rappelé Jividen.
Lorsqu’ils furent informés que la tour de contrôle au sol n’avait pas d’autre trafic dans leur proximité, Jividen commença à s’inquiéter que le mystérieux objet ne soit pas apparu sur le radar. Il demanda donc l’autorisation de dévier de leur approche et de se tourner directement vers l’ovni lumineux rouge “juste pour voir ce qu’il allait faire”.
Comme il se tourna vers l’objet, Jividen dit qu’il se tourna vers son avion. “Il a soudainement volé de droite à gauche, sur le nez [de notre avion], et s’est juste arrêté à notre position de 11 heures. À ce moment-là, j’ai commencé à accélérer pour voir si je pouvais me rapprocher de l’objet, et comme je [l'ai fait], il m’a dépassé. en d’autres termes, quand j’accélérais, il accélérait . “Alors, j’ai décidé de descendre pour placer l’objet contre un champ d’étoiles afin de m’assurer qu’il était réellement solide, et puis je suis monté pour que je puisse voir silhouette de l’objet contre le Golfe du Mexique.” Jividen dit la que la rencontre de cinq minutes a pris fin lorsque l’ovni rouge s’est envolé à une vitesse très élevé et a disparu à l’horizon en direction de la Nouvelle-Orléans. Lorsque l’équipage retourna à Pensacola, Jividen remplit un dossier d’incident et ce fut la dernière fois qu’il entendit parler de cet épisode Et personne d’autre n’en entendit parler pendant plus de 3 décennies. L’histoire de Jividen est maintenant racontée dans la nouvelle édition de “”UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies and Realities,” écrit par le Col. John Alexander.
“J’ai fait quelques vérifications sur les antécédents de Jividen et une des premières choses qui revenaient était sa croix de vol de distinction pour avoir fait des choses vraiment héroïques. Il est bien celui qu’il dit être et il est très simple», dit Alexander au HuffPost. “Je ne pense pas qu’il y ait le moindre doute que c’était quelque chose. Je le prends comme un témoin très crédible, bien plus que beaucoup d’autres.”
L’autorisation top-secret d’Alexander qui lui a été accordée par le Gouvernement américain lui a donné accès dans les années 80 à une variété de documents officiels et aux premiers récits personnels d’ovnis. Il a aussi créé un groupe spécial de fonctionnaires et de scientifiques de haut niveau qui ont étudié le phénomène ovni. En fin de compte, Alexander a déterminé que les États-Unis, en effet, avaient des preuves montrant la réalité OVNI, mais il n’a pu trouver aucun signe que le gouvernement a délibérément gardé ces informations du public, ou que le contact avait été pris avec une vie extraterrestre. “Une des choses que nous observons sont des caractéristiques physiques que nous ne comprenons pas, des capacités qui sont au-delà de nos options technologiques en ce moment, une accélération extrêmement rapide et des tours de haute gravité auxquels des organismes vivants, comme nous le savons, ne survivraient pas , “a t-il expliqué.
Regardez ces rencontres rapprochées étonnantes des pilotes avec des ovnis :
Une question plus large subsiste en ce qui concerne les ovnis vus par des militaires, des pilotes professionnels et privés qui peuvent se révéler des dangers potentiels pour la sécurité, dit au moins un scientifique respecté. “ Mes amis qui sont des scientifiques disent, « Eh bien, il n’y a rien concernant les ovnis. Si il y avait quelque chose, nous aurions des données et nous aimerions les compulser. “ C’est en partie une déclaration valable, et ce sont les pilotes qui sans le savoir, nous empêchent d’obtenir les données pour analyser scientifiquement, “ a déclaré Richard Haines, ancien chercheur scientifique du Centre de recherche Ames de la NASA.
Haines – qui préfère utiliser le terme phénomènes aériens non identifiés, ou PAN plutôt que OVNI – est un ancien sceptique qui dirige actuellement le Centre national d’information de l’aviation sur les phénomènes anormaux,(National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena), ou NARCAP. “Nos objectifs sont de rendre les vols plus sûrs pour le public qui voyage, en particulier en ce qui concerne les PANs, et nous sommes convaincus qu’il y a une menace potentielle posée par proximité des PANs et des avions commerciaux et privés», dit Haines au HuffPost. Travaillant avec un effectif de près de 40 personnes, y compris les filiales internationales, Haines est scientifique en chef du NARCAP. Il aborde la question des pilotes qui ont craignent de signaler un OVNI ou un PAN alors qu’ils sont encore actifs.
“ Pour moi, c’est un grave facteur inhibant pour que les scientifiques comme moi collectent les données.” Haines suggère que le facteur peur qui entoure les pilotes n’est pas tant le fait d’avoir peur des objets auxquels ils sont confrontés que la crainte de perdre leur emploi s’ils parlent à ce sujet. “Exactement. Je ne pense pas que ce soit une peur physique. Le NARCAP vient avec l’objectif d’essayer de rendre les vols plus sûrs pour le public, et les compagnies aériennes ne veulent pas entendre cela, car cela implique qu’ils ne sont pas sûrs ! Pour des raisons évidentes, de nombreux rapports que j’ai sont ceux des pilotes à la retraite. “Comme celui de Jividen, qui a déposé un rapport l’an dernier avec Haines — près de 40 ans après les faits, mais c’était toujours impressionnant. “ En premier lieu, il y a plusieurs témoins” déclare Haines. “Il y avait six hommes à bord et ils n’ont pas tous confondu avec une illusion collective. “ Après plusieurs minutes l’objet n’a pas changé de forme ou d’intensité , ce qui signifie qu’il n’a pas seulement accéléré devant lui et arrêté à sa position de 11 heures, mais il a ensuite maintenu sa vitesse en avançant. Nous devons nous demander quel phénomène naturel est capable de faire ça ? ! "
L’ancien scientifique de la NASA Richard Haines décrit une rencontre poignante d'un pilote avec un OVNI :
Dr. Haines has been a NASA research scientist since the mid 1960's. He has worked on the Gemini, Apollo and Skylab programs as well as several others. Over the past 30 years, Dr. Haines has compiled over 3,000 cases of unusual visual and radar sightings of unexplained aerial phenomena -- known as the AIRCAT files.
Dr. Richard F. Haines, NARCAP Science Chief presents at the CAIPAN 2014 Workshop, hosted by CNES-GEIPAN - PARIS 2014 (vous avez des sous-titres en vo traduits par Google en français dans le menu que vous pouvez choisir)
Haines n’est pas encore sûr de ce que sont ces objets insolites dont tant de pilotes au fil des décennies ont fait état. « Honnêtement, je ne sais pas, et en tant que scientifique, je veux garder toutes les portes ouvertes jusqu’à ce que j’aie une preuve suffisante, mais jusqu’à ce moment-là, je ne vais pas spéculer. ”
Les recherches d’ Alexander le conduisent à au moins une conclusion importante à propos des cas réellement inexpliqués d’OVNIs ou de PANs. ” Si vous arrivez à la question fondamentale – si il y a une intelligence derrière tout cela, et cela semble bien être vrai - des choses comme l’énergie doivent être la clé. Certainement, comprendre une forme différente d’énergie serait incroyablement utile.” Quel qu’ait été l’objet circulaire rouge que Jividen et son équipage ont rencontré cette nuit-là en 1975, deux choses ont fait une impression durable sur lui. « Tout d’abord, il n’y avait pas de contact radar avec lui. Il est clair, par la silhouette et les mouvements de mon appareil, que c’était un objet solide, qui se propulsait lui-même. ” Je ne pense pas que notre science physique soit assez avancée pour évaluer ce que sont ces choses. Il y a certains phénomènes physiques en cours que nous ne pouvons pas clairement interpréter ou évaluer – c’est de toute évidence contrôlé par une intelligence, mais il se peut qu’elle ne soit pas extraterrestre ”.
Humankind’s Space Age undoubtedly began in the 60’s. And 1961 can be seen as one of the most interesting years. First of all, Yuri Gagarin from the USSR made the first steps of mankind in cosmos and in the USA, astronomer Frank Drake formulated the famous equation that bears his name.
What is with this equation? Well, for those who have not yet heard of the famous Drake Equation, it tries to estimate the number of intelligent civilizations that could exist in the Milky Way and that could be contacted by us through our current electromagnetic methods.
Here’s how the equation looks like: N = Ns x fp x ne x fl x fi x fc x L
It doesn’t look that simple, so we’ll explain briefly what each value of the equation stands for and what is its meaning.
N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with whom communication may be possible;
Ns = the average annual rate of star formation in our galaxy. Estimate is between 10 and 1;
fp = the number of stars that have planetary systems similar to our Solar System. Estimate is between 1 (each star has a planetary system) and 0.1 (one in ten stars has a system);
ne = the average number of planets that can support the emergence and the existence of life. Estimate is between 5 and 1.
fl = the number of planets on which life could occur at one moment in time. Estimate is 1.
fi = the number of planets on which intelligent life (civilizations) evolved. Estimate is 1.
fc = the number of civilizations that developed a technology which can be detected by other civilizations like our own. Estimate is 0.1 to 0.2.
L = the time in which a civilization reaches the capacity of communication with other stellar civilizations. Estimate is between 1000 and 100 million years.
If we carefully review each value of the equation, it is clear that none could be determined accurately by modern science. Furthermore as we move from left to right into the equation, estimating each factor’s value becomes controversial, so the latter elements are rather speculative and the values that a person would assign them might say more about that person’s beliefs than scientific facts.
There are dozens of scientific papers that deal with this equation and juggle with its parameters. One such paper stands out as it adds the well-established principles of statistical probability to the equation. In 2010, the Italian astronomer Claudio Macconepublished in the Acta Astronautica journal his own version of the equation named the Statistical Drake Equation (SDE). Mathematically it is more complex and more robust that the Classic Drake Equation (CDE).
SDE is based on the Central Limit Theorem which states that having a sufficient number of random independent variables with finite mean value and dispersion, these variables will be distributed in an environment according to the Gaussian bell. So, all the seven parameters of the equation become independent positive variables.In his paper, Maccone tested his SDE using the parameters normally accepted by the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) community, and the results could mean good news for the E.T. hunters.
Although the numerical results were not the primary objective of the astronomer, Maccone estimated that our galaxy could host 4,590 extraterrestrial civilizations. If we assign the same values to the Classical Drake Equation we get only 3,500. So, the SDE adds over 1,000 possible civilizations to the initial estimate. Also, SDE has an advantage over CDE, because it incorporates the concept of standard variation (or margin), a kind of margin of error for the mean values. In this case the standard variation is quite high – 11,195. In other words, the SDE states that in our Milky way galaxy could be between 0 and 15,785 extraterrestrial civilizations.
If these E.T. civilizations are at equal distances from each other, they could be separated, on average by 28,845 light-years.This value is much too high for us to communicate with aliens, even though the electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light (299,792.4 km/s). So, even with so many potential advanced civilizations, interstellar communication would still be a major technological challenge for us. However, according to SDE the average distance that we should expect to find intelligent life might be 2,670 light-years from Earth.
So there would be some slim chances that we can contact an alien civilization. At only 500 light-years the chances of detecting a signal from E.T. are almost 0. This isxactly the radius within which our current technology allows us to search for intelligent life radio signals. So the “Great Silence” that radio telescopes detected so far is not daunting. Our signals must reach a little farther – over at least 900 light years – before they have a real chance to intersect with an advanced alien civilization.
Reports came in to the Utah Highway Patrol Cedar City Dispatch Center Friday describing a fireball streaking across the sky south of SunRiver St. George just before 7:30 a.m.
A fireball occurs when a meteor enters Earth’s atmosphere and burns brightly before being consumed by the fire, and is defined by the American Meteor Society as an object that is brighter than the planet Venus.
It likely burned up in the atmosphere before hitting the ground
The American Meteor Society received reports from three observers in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, Flagstaff, Arizona, and Pahrump, Nevada, of a fireball about the same time as the Southern Utah sighting. San Diego-based Robert Lunsford, the report coordinator for the AMS, said it was probably the same object, but it likely burned up in the atmosphere before hitting the ground.
“Normally, something that would actually make it to the ground would be awfully bright and last a long time,” Lunsford said. “We would probably have a lot more reports if it actually made it to the ground.”
The Lake Havasu City observer’s report said the fireball lasted about 2 seconds, Lunsford said. His report read, in part, “Not sure if it was a ‘fireball.’ Basically it looked like a very thick and very bright shooting star during daylight hours, brighter than Venus and brighter than a full moon.”
Never seen anything like it my whole life
The report went on to say, “Never seen anything like it my whole life. The trail and length of visibility could have been longer but I didn’t see it until it came into view of my windshield. ”
The Pahrump observer wrote, “I was driving east, the sun was just about to crest over Mt. Charleston, when the meteor appeared at the top of the windshield. At first I thought it was a plane that was flaring in the morning light, but as it streaked lower and fizzled, I knew I had just seen something pretty cool!”
Extreme thermal stresses experienced by a comet as it orbits around the Sun could explain the extensive fracturing thought to drive its long-term surface erosion, say Rosetta scientists analysing high-resolution images of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko’s surface.
The study, which is published online in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, is based on images taken between 6 August 2014 – when Rosetta first arrived at the comet – and 1 March 2015, and includes detailed images acquired from between just 8 and 18 km from the comet’s surface.
Ramy’s team identified three distinct settings in which the fractures occur: networks of long narrow fractures, fractures on cliffs and fractured boulders. In addition, several unique features were identified: the parallel fractures running across Hathor’s 900 m-high cliffs, an isolated 500 metre-long crevice in the Anuket region of the comet’s neck, and a 200 m-long complex crack system in Aker on the large lobe.
“The fractures show a variety of morphologies and occur all over the surface and at all scales: they are found in the towering 900 m-high cliffs of Hathor right down to the surfaces of boulders a few metres across,” describes lead author M. Ramy El-Maarry from the University of Bern.
The most prevalent setting appears to be networks of narrow fractures that extend for a few metres to 250 m in length, typically on relatively flat surfaces. Interestingly, in some locations, the fractures appear to cross cut each other in polygonal patterns at angles of 90º – on Earth and Mars this is often an indicator of ice that has contracted below the surface.
The variety of fracture networks found on Comet 67P/C-G, with an indication of physical scales. The top left image shows polygonal fractures on the edge of the Apis region, on the comet large lobe. The zoomed-in insert shows that the patterns are composed of irregular 2–5 meters-wide polygons. The top right image shows a pervasively fractured region at the edge of the Atum region, close to the comet's neck. Fractures vary greatly in length, with the longest visible one measuring about 250 m. Within this irregular pattern, a more regular pattern of 2–6 m-wide polygons is also visible, as shown in the insert. The bottom left image shows a regular patterns of fractures at the edge of the Nut region, a narrow, elongated depression on the small comet lobe. Patterns of 15 m-wide polygons with orthogonal fracture intersections are also visible. The bottom right image shows polygonal patterns on the edge the ridge separating the Anubis/Atum regions from Ash and Seth, on the large comet lobe The image has been overexposed to highlight the shadowed features, and smaller polygons with sizes of 2–5 m are also visible. A non-annotated version of the image is provided below.

Another family of cross-cutting fractures is observed on cliff faces, such as in the Seth region on the comet’s large lobe, with debris deposits littering their bases. Fractured cliff faces were also observed at Abydos, the final landing site of Philae on the small lobe, as recorded in images from the lander. The fact that the fractures cut across each other in different directions suggests that the stress direction changes over time.
Fractures found on cliffs on Comet 67P/C-G. The large image on the left shows the Ash region (located on the large comet lobe) in the foreground and the regions of Hathor and Anuket (both on the comet's neck), in the background. The two boxes highlight two small portions of the comet surface, which are shown in greater detail in the two close-ups, with an indication of the physical scale. The top close-up shows a fractured scarp and what appears to be a new fracture (indicated with a yellow arrow) cross-cutting two older fractures (orange arrows). The new fracture is 100–125 cm-wide and is expected to lead to 'mass-wasting' of the fractured scarp. The bottom close-up shows another small fracture (indicated with a yellow arrow) that appears to cut though the scarp edge and the smooth coating on the top, which is a morphologic characteristic of the Ash region. The image on the right shows a portion of the Seth region exhibiting a similarly fractured scarp (indicated with a white arrow) and a debris field in at the foot of the cliff suggesting a progressive process of 'mass-wasting'. Non annotated versions of the individual images are provided below. Credits: ESA/Rosetta/MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/SSO/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA
At the smallest scale, fractures are observed on boulders (in this study, boulders 20-60 m wide were analysed). In some cases it is clear that the fractures run through the boulders, pervasively fracturing them, while other fractures appear confined to the boulder’s surfaces. Taken together, the fracturing points to an erosional sequence leading to the boulders’ eventual fragmentation.
These two images show two fractured boulders found in the Imhotep (left) and Atum (right) regions, respectively. Fracturing in the Imhotep boulder is so pervasive it has led to fragmentation of the 60 m-wide boulder. An indication of the physical scale is provided; a non-annotated version of the image is available below.

Scientists think that the majority of these fracture patterns are most likely linked to the thermal history of the comet and result from stresses that stretch the comet’s surface apart. On Earth and Mars at least, these ‘tensile’ fractures can develop through several common processes: loss of volatile materials, thermal contraction or contraction and expansion cycles, and tectonic processes.
In addition to throwing off volatile materials as they near the Sun, comets are known to undergo high fluctuations in surface and subsurface temperature on daily and seasonal timeframes. This continuous thermal ‘shock’ leads to weakening or “fatigue” of the surface both on the short term due to daily heating cycles, and on the long term as the seasons change along the comet’s 6.5 year orbit around the Sun.

“But the presence of fractures in different settings, in addition to the isolated fractures in Anuket and Aker, suggests that other mechanisms may also be at work,” comments Ramy. “For example, perhaps mechanical forces related to the comet’s rotation or orbit around the Sun are responsible for the crack in Anuket, while the fractured cliffs of Hathor could have resulted from the comet’s formation, perhaps when two smaller cometisimals collided.”
Regardless of the origin of individual fracture systems, it is clear that fracturing plays an important role in the evolution of the comet’s surface.
Fractures observed in cliffs, with debris observed at their bases, imply that this phenomenon represents the first stage in the overall ‘mass-wasting’ of the comet: the cliff top is weakened and a landslide-type event ensues.
But, over long periods this process would act to erode the surface and flatten the landscape. The fact that there are many rough terrains on the comet suggests that it has either not gone through very many erosional cycles or other processes are acting against this to roughen the surface, such as explosive jet activity.
“Monitoring for changes in these fracture systems after the current perihelion phase, and running models to simulate the evolution of the comet over time, will enable us to test our various hypotheses for fracture formation,” adds Ramy.

Late last year the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) announced that Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft has been studying in detail since August 2014, was singing in space. Now, in apaper published in the European Geosciences Union’s open access journal Annales Geophysicae, the RPC team reveals more details about 67P/C-G’s song, including why the comet was singing.
The sounds ‘emitted’ by 67P/C-G are oscillations in the magnetic field around the comet. Its space environment is permeated by the solar wind – a continuous stream of electrically charged gas (called plasma) and magnetic field lines strung along from the Sun – which interacts with the comet’s gas-dust atmosphere. A consequence of this interaction is an induced cometary magnetosphere. In other words, even though the nucleus of 67P/C-G has no magnetic field of its own (as announced at this year’s EGU General Assembly), the comet’s atmosphere or coma is magnetised.
As reported in Annales Geophysicae, the RPC magnetometer on Rosetta started to detect large-amplitude fluctuations in this magnetic field upon arrival of the spacecraft at the comet on 6 August 2014. For four months, until November 2014, the RPC team detected about 3000 cases of wave activity with frequencies of about 40 millihertz.

“This is exciting because it is completely new to us. We did not expect this and we are still working to understand the physics of what is happening,” said RPC principal investigator Karl-Heinz Glassmeier at the time ESA reported the discovery of the ‘singing comet’ waves on the Rosetta blog. Glassmeier is Head of Space Physics and Space Sensorics at the Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany, and the senior author of the Annales Geophysicae paper.
This observation took the team somewhat by surprise because it is the first detection of waves of this nature at a comet. In previous cometary encounters, such as the International Cometary Explorer and Sakigake spacecraft flybys of comets Giacobini-Zinner and Halley, researchers measured wave activity with frequencies some 10 times lower.
The difference in the 67P/C-G case is that, as Rosetta travelled alongside the comet, the instruments could measure the magnetic field for a long time, and while the comet was still relatively far away from the Sun. The RPC instruments collected the data reported in the new study while the comet was between 400 to 540 million kilometres from the Sun. At this point, the comet’s activity was low: it was not expelling a lot of gas and dust into space, and the induced magnetosphere was just beginning to form.
Since the song 67P/C-G sings at this early stage is very different from the ‘classical sounds’ detected at comets closer to the Sun, the team concluded a new mechanism must generate the 40 millihertz waves. (If you are interested in finding out more about the difference between the two types of cometary sounds, and the processes that generate them, read the more detailed explanation provided by K.-H. Glassmeier below.)
When RPC scientists first uncovered 67P/C-G’s mysterious song, they suspected it had something to do with the comet’s activity – even if low – and the neutral particles it releases into space. Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun causes ionisation of these atoms and molecules, including water molecules. In the plasma environment around the comet’s nucleus, the newborn ions move perpendicularly to the magnetic field, forming what is called a cross-field electric current. It turns out that this current is unstable, and ultimately, it is what makes the comet sing.
“The physical process is somewhat difficult to understand without a deeper understanding of plasma physics, but we can use a simple analogy to have a better idea of what’s going on,” says Glassmeier. “Consider your garden hose. If you start the water flow, there is a chance that the hose starts to oscillate, generating waves. This is about what happens in the plasma. Of course, the flow we have in the cometary situation is not like water, but is a flow of charged particles. But somehow the analogy is suitable.”
The questions left to answer are whether 67P/C-G continues to sing the same song as it gets closer to the Sun, and whether it starts emitting more classical cometary sounds.
Glassmeier says RPC instruments detected the 40 millihertz waves at least until February this year, when Rosetta was about 350 million kilometres away from the Sun. “Around this time, the activity is changing, other features show up, the plasma interaction region becomes much more violent. Singing comet waves are still present, but buried under a variety of other features we are currently trying to understand.”
“Whether we also observe the classical type of cometary waves, like those observed at Halley, is very difficult to judge. We are heavily working on further analysing the dynamics of this region to find out more.”

A more detailed explanation of the difference between classical cometary waves and the ‘singing comet’ waves, by Karl-Heinz Glassmeier:
Plasma waves play a most important role in coupling newborn ions of cometary origin with the solar wind plasma. As the particle density of the solar wind is rather small, the interplanetary space is almost a vacuum. There are no collisions between solar wind particles and the cometary ions causing the required coupling. Without such a coupling, the cometary ions would move relative to and undisturbed by the solar wind.
However, if the comet-solar wind interaction region is much larger than a typical gyro-radius of a cometary ion, as in the case of Comet Halley, cometary ions constitute so-called ring-beam distributions in the phase space of the solar wind plasma.
Such distributions are heavily unstable and produce the classical cometary waves as observed at Halley and Giacobini-Zinner. These waves, on the other hand, are able to scatter cometary ions as the electric field fluctuations of the waves impact the ion motion.
In this way, the plasma waves couple the solar wind particles and the cometary ions. The waves act as a kind of mediator between solar wind and cometary ions. A more detailed treatment shows that the frequency of the waves as observed in the spacecraft frame of reference is very close to the local gyrofrequency of the cometary ions. [Editor’s note: Recall that, in the presence of a uniform magnetic field, an electrically charged particle moves in a circular motion; the radius of this circle is the gyro or Larmor radius, and the angular frequency is called gyrofrequency.]
The situation we observed at 67P/C-G in the first months after the arrival at the comet is rather different. The interaction region is rather small because of the weak activity of the nucleus. Actually, the size of the interaction region is much less than the gyro-radius of a cometary ion.
I like to call this region the Larmor sphere of the comet. Within the Larmor sphere the newborn ions have not yet been able to perform a complete gyro motion around the solar wind magnetic field. The newborn ions just constitute an electric current perpendicular to both the solar wind flow and magnetic field. This cross-field current is much different from any ring-beam phase space situation observed in case of the large interaction region of Halley or Giacobini-Zinner. In our model, the cross-field current constitutes the very first effect the newborn ions impose onto the ambient plasma. Only later, the newborn ions develop into ring-beam type particle distributions. But in these later stages the plasma volume with the newborn ions have already passed the nucleus, moving downstream.
This is a fundamental difference between the fully developed ring-beam situation at strongly outgassing comets and the cross-field current situation at weakly active comets. In the former case the unstable phase space distribution is moving with the solar wind plasma, while in the latter case the cross-field current is almost fixed with respect to the nucleus.
Discover the “X-Factor” of NASA’s Webb Telescope in “Behind the Webb” Video
Discover the “X-Factor” of NASA’s Webb Telescope in “Behind the Webb” Video
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray observatory have something in common: a huge test chamber used to simulate the hazards of space and the distant glow of starlight. Viewers can learn about this mysterious chamber and its history in “X-Factor,” a new video in the “Behind the Webb” series. The video takes viewers behind the scenes to understand more about the Webb telescope and how it compares with other NASA observatories.
The “X-Factor” episode is timed to coincide with the Chandra 15 year anniversary, as the satellite was launched on July 23, 1999. Mary Estacion of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Md. hosts the series.
Estacion interviewed Dr. Martin C. Weisskopf, project scientist for NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatory and Chief Scientist for X-ray Astronomy in the Space Sciences Department at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Dr. Weisskopf explains how the Webb, Hubble and Chandra observatories look at different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum (light at various different energies). The Chandra observatory collects x-rays, very energetic particles of light. The Hubble Space Telescope operates in a different part of the spectrum looking at visible light and the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope will operate in near and mid-infrared light.

The vacuum chamber, located at the X-ray and Cryogenic Test Facility or XRCF at NASA Marshall is the “X-factor” that ties the Webb telescope and Chandra together. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory was tested there in the 1990s and the chamber was used to test the Webb telescope’s mirrors from 2008 to 2011.
“Methods of testing Chandra and Webb telescope mirrors are actually quite different, but each has significant technical challenges – and that’s what makes working at XRCF interesting,” said Jeff Kegley, the NASA Marshall test facility’s manager. “We are really proud to have been able to contribute to these two amazing observatories.”
One of the mysteries of the testing chamber is a long tube that is connected to the building that houses it. The tube spans the length of almost six football fields. Weisskopf explained the long tube was used to separate the X-ray source from the Chandra telescope by a long distance, simulating distant sources like stars. Testing the Webb telescope demands a similar beam of light, but uses a more compact optical design to simulate a distant star.

The tube remains connected for any future mission that may look at the X-ray emission from astronomical objects.
Webb is an international project led by NASA with its partners the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.
The 3 minute and 7 second video was produced at STScI. The “Behind the Webb” video series is available in HQ, large and small Quicktime formats, HD, Large and Small WMV formats, and HD, Large and Small Xvid formats.
WETENSCHAPDe volle maan in september wordt tegelijk de lichtste en de donkerste van het jaar. Op 28 september is er immers niet alleen een zogenoemde supermaan te zien, maar ook een totale eclips, gevolgd door een bloedmaan. Het is al de vierde keer dat zoiets gebeurt sinds april vorig jaar, wat volgens sommigen een teken is van de naderende apocalyps.
Op 28 september staat de maan extra dicht bij de aarde, wat leidt tot een zogenoemde supermaan. Omdat ze zo dichtbij is, zal de maan extra fel oplichten. Kort daarna begint ze echter te verdwijnen om uiteindelijk volledig verduisterd te worden door de aarde, die tussen de zon en de maan komt te staan.
Tijdens de eclips zal de maan stilaan een rode kleur krijgen, een gevolg van de kromming van de zonnestralen rond de aarde. Zo'n rode maan wordt ook wel een bloedmaan genoemd.
Het wordt al de vierde bloedmaan sinds april 2014, volgens aanhangers van de zogenoemde 'Bloedmaanprofetie' een voorteken van het einde der tijden. Sommigen zijn er ook van overtuigd dat de bijzondere 'superbloedmaan' zal leiden tot springtij en overstromingen. Ze beweren ook dat de afwijkende getijden voor aardbevingen en vulkaanuitbarstingen zullen zorgen.
Volgens het Britse agentschap voor getijden en zeeniveau zal de vloed misschien iets hoger zijn dan normaal, maar zeker niet een paar centimeter hoger dan de hoogste getijden van de voorbije twintig jaar.
Het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau NASA heeft met klem ontkend dat er tussen 15 en 28 september een asteroïde zou inslaan op onze planeet.
Op het internet circuleren er talrijke berichten over een inslag nabij Puerto Rico die vernietigende gevolgen kan hebben.
Maar volgens manager Paul Chodas van de bevoegde dienst bij de NASA is er geen enkele wetenschappelijke basis en geen enkele aanwijzing dat een asteroïde of een ander kosmisch object op Aarde zou inslaan in de geciteerde periode en ook niet in de afzienbare toekomst. Bij alle bekende potentieel gevaarlijke asteroïden is er minder dan 0,01 procent kans op een impact in de komende tien jaar.
Nog volgens Chodas zou een object, dat de helft van de "voorspelde" schade kan veroorzaken in september, al moeten zijn opgemerkt.

Woman Catches UFO Formation Over Corn Field In Memphis, Mississippi, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: Feb 26, 2015 but reported in Aug. Location of sighting: Lewisburg, Mississippi, USA Source: MUFON
The one thing in this video that is proof that this is 100% real, is a fact that has been verified in hundreds of past UFO sightings. Its the tiny drone orbs that orbit the UFOs. These are guidance and defense orbs. They protect the main ship and act like nerve endings in a finger, as an early warning system. I added light and circled the orbs in the screenshot from the video. Take a screenshot anywhere and add light to it to view these tiny guidance orbs. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Below screenshot has not been altered.
Eyewitness states: I am a 15+ year ufologist in the Memphis Metro area, & although I have seen things I can't explain, this is the first one worthy of reporting. For this particular incident, I've been seeing bright lights in that same location for several nights in the last week, but it was after I went to bed and not compelling enough to warrant running outside. It snowed yesterday, so it made it easier to see last night, and the craft was much closer, much brighter, and very visible. I ran outside at 12:46AM CST and began filming. It was hovering very low over an area with corn fields. I observed it hovering for about 20 minutes, but it was too cold outside and I ran out straight from bed with no shoes on in the snow, therefore, I could only film for a short time. After about 20 minutes it seemed to just vanish...no flight path was observed...just hovering and pulsating lights that appeared to have a red glow at times. It appeared to be one very large triangular aircraft, and it was hovering so low that it had a 3-D effect when viewing. There were times when it appeared to have ejected smaller orb lights, but that is unclear. It was difficult to tell from my vantage point whether it was part of the larger craft, or additional smaller craft.
