Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    Is Stephen Hawking Right About Hostile Aliens?

    E.T. was the perfect extraterrestrial: Cute, smart and — best of all — a perfect pacifist.

    Unfortunately, scientists aren't so sure that an actual intelligent alien would be so benign. In a recent interview with El País, famed physicist Stephen Hawking posited that an alien visitation would put Earthlings in the same position as Native Americans when Columbus landed on their shores.

    "Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach," Hawking speculated. [7 Huge Misconceptions About Aliens]

    The likelihood that intelligent life is out there is up for debate; less discussed are the conditions necessary to evolve a life-form that's both smart and nice. But the lessons from Earth suggest that intelligence and aggression might evolve hand-in-hand.

    No one really knows how humans got to be so clever. What's clear is that hominin brains began expanding wildly about 2 million years ago. (Hominins include those species after the human lineage — the genus Homo — split from the chimpanzee lineage.) By around 100,000 years ago, humans made the never-before-seen leap to inventing language. And by at least 40,000 years ago, our ancestors were making art.

    "We have brains that are three times bigger than those of our closest relatives," said Mark Flinn, an anthropologist at the University of Missouri who has researched the emergence of human intelligence. Humans have unprecedented abilities to think about each other's thoughts and motivations, he said, to play out social scenarios in their brains and to think about the past and future.

    "The general presumption is that this is just sort of a natural outcome of the evolutionary process, but that's really giving short shrift to the very special circumstances of human evolution," Flinn said.

    Huge brains are expensive. They take an enormous number of calories to grow and function (up to 50 percent of intake in infancy and childhood, Flinn said) and make humans basically helpless for years after birth.

    "Our babies are born as larvae, basically," said David Carrier, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Utah.

    Many anthropologists and evolutionary biologists have tried to pinpoint the special circumstances that make these huge brains worth the expense. Charles Darwin suggested that perhaps males developed cleverness to attract females, much as a male peacock developed showy tail feathers to prove to potential mates that he could strut his stuff. But if brains were just for sexual display, scientists would expect to see big differences between male and female intelligence — females, not having to attract mates, shouldn't waste so much effort on their brains, much as peahens don't waste effort on growing shiny feathers (theirs are dull and brown). And female humans are just as smart as males.

    Would smart aliens have energy-intensive brains? Hard to say — perhaps E.T. could evolve a more efficient, yet just as clever, organ. But if aliens were sending signals into space or building rockets, they'd have to have achieved an intelligence that far exceeds what is needed to survive. [13 Ways to Hunt for Intelligent Aliens]

    Humans have done the same, and researchers can't quite figure out why. The brain could have evolved to allow humans to use tools, but chimpanzees use tools without developing complex languages, art and culture. One provocative theory holds that pathogens play a role: The brain is vulnerable to infection, wrote Hungarian researcher Lajos Rózsa in a 2008 article in the journal Medical Hypotheses. Showing off one's cleverness may be a way of showing off how resistant one is to infection. After all, if you're smart enough to invent language and art, you must be pretty good at battling brain parasites.

    So perhaps intelligent aliens might be subject to alien parasites. Flinn and his colleagues favor another theory, though. They argue that humanity underwent a runaway cycle of brain evolution because of hominins' social nature.

    The ecological dominance-social competition hypothesis works like this: Human ancestors reached a point in which their interactions with one another were the most important factor in whether they'd survive and pass on their genes. Finding food and shelter was still important, Flinn said, but it wasn't the main factor determining evolutionary success. The difference between clever humans and, say, caribou, is that intraspecies relationships drove evolution the fastest in humans, Flinn said. A herd of caribou has social interactions, to be sure: Males have to fight for mates, for example. But a more pressing concern would be avoiding predators and finding food. For hominins, these external issues became relatively less important, the theory goes, while their ability to form coalitions, to have empathy and to behave in such a way as to win friendships from others became key to their survival. [10 Things That Make Humans Special]

    In this heavily social context, it became very important to be smarter than the competition. Each generation got a little smarter and a little better at building complex social relationships, which created a feedback loop in which even smarter brains were beneficial.

    "The thing about social competition is it's a dynamic challenge and it's also creative," Flinn said. "You need to have the better mousetrap every time. The competition adjusts to the current winning model, so you need to be one better than the current winning strategy."

    The model seems to work with other clever animals, too, he added. Dolphins, orcas and chimps all form social coalitions with each other and depend on their social groups to survive. It's possible that this social factor would hold for species on other planets, too.

    A key part of this theory is competition. Chimps form coalitions that battle against other chimps. And humans are far from peaceful. So if an alien species were to evolve intelligence, would aggression be an inevitable part of the package?

    Perhaps. The evolution of aggression is a question unto itself. Fights to the death occur only in species where the options are mate or die, Carrier said. [Fight, Fight, Fight: The History of Human Aggression]

    "If you can walk away from a fight and reproduce another day, you do that," he said. "But if circumstances are such that your ability to reproduce is threatened by a competitor, in that situation it makes sense to fight."

    Environmental factors may determine whether a mate-or-die system emerges. For example, chimpanzees are a particularly homicidal (chimpacidal?) species, Carrier said. Work by primatologist Richard Wrangham at Harvard University and colleagues finds that chimp "wars" arise from a chimpanzee's territorialism. Small groups of foraging chimps may come into contact with other chimpanzees; killing these competitors (particularly when the foragers have numbers on their side) can be beneficial by opening up access to more resources.

    Deadly male-male competition is less of a way of life for bonobos, humankind's other closest primate ancestor. Male bonobos stick by their mothers and the species is less territorial than chimpanzees. Bonobo foraging groups are also larger, perhaps because their food sources are more abundant, studies have found. Would aliens act more like bonobos or chimps? Hard to say. Researchers are even split on whether humans are more inherently aggressive or inherently peaceful.

    A controversial theory holds that aggression was a driving force in human evolution. The "Killer Ape" hypothesis argues that the human ancestors who thrived were those better adapted for fighting. For example, Carrier said, modern humans can form fists, which our closest primate relatives cannot. This particular hand configuration may have evolved primarily for better manual dexterity — but it also could have come in handy as a club. Likewise, when human ancestors started walking on two legs, their face bones also evolved to be stronger and less delicate. This could be due to diet, Carrier said, but male face bones are more robust than female face bones, a sign that male-male competition could be at play. In other words, thick facial bones could be a defense against the fist, a weapon that would have become available once human ancestors became bipedal.

    If intelligence evolves in the context of social competition, and aggression is the natural outcome of competition, it's hard to imagine that clever aliens could also be kind. Is this the end for hopes of sweet little E.T.?

    Maybe not. The social competition model doesn't work without cooperation, after all. Humans fight, wage war and sometimes murder each other. But humans also form coalitions, care for each other and even build coalitions of coalitions, such as nation-states.

    "There are two sides to our nature," Carrier said. "It's not that one is any more real than the other. It's just who we are."

    Humans are unique among Earth life in forming long-lasting alliances between groups, not just individuals, Flinn said. Chimpanzees can't pull that off, he said, so it's not clear that aliens could, either.

    "On Planet X, it may not be inevitable that social competition results in a morality and a creativity of the sort that allows these intelligent life-forms to negotiate with us for a mutually beneficial outcome," Flinn said.

    On the other hand, chimpanzees don't explore space. Perhaps a civilization that can band together to reach for the stars has to be cooperative by definition. If that's the case, humanity might be a greater threat to aliens than aliens are to humanity. Luckily, evolution has given humans the tools for peace ( via livescience.com ).

    "We can, in effect, rise above the design, potentially," Flinn said. "If we understand what our are designed to do, we are going to be way more capable of rising above those tendencies that we have."

    The Curiosity Mars rover could tap into the greatest mystery behind liquid water on Mars, but there's a big problem

    When NASA recently announced the discovery of liquid water on Mars, the location of this water is what intrigued some scientists the most.

    These water flows are related to unique features on Mars called recurring slope linae (RSL) — identified in the photo to the right — that pop up in a handful of locations near and along the Martian equator.

    As it turns out, the Curiosity rover is within driving distance of a mountain called Mount Sharp, which might contain these RSLs — though their presence has not yet been confirmed at that spot. Even more exciting is that Curiosity could scoop up samples and analyze them in far greater detail than the satellites that scientists have been using so far.

    "If we decide it's safe to go up and touch one, basically the whole rover is full of equipment that is designed to figure out composition and mineralogy of materials on Mars," Ashwin Vasavada, who is the project scientist for Curiosity, told Business Insider. "We could do a nice job of understanding the chemistry of what's going on."

    There are still many questions about these RSLs that need answers. Perhaps the greatest one of them all is where this water is coming from. Is it groundwater, melting frost, or something else? The answer will shed light on how the water source's abundance and potential as a vital resource for future manned missions and colonies on Mars.

    While Curiosity could help answer some of these questions, there is a big problem that needs solving first.


    An unavoidable risk and a difficult challenge

    As Vasavada says, NASA must first decide if it's safe for the rover to approach these features for scientific analyses. However, it's not the rover's safety NASA is worried about — it's the planet Mars. And right now NASA's planetary protection officer, Cassie Conley, is trying to figure out if Mars and its flowing water is safe from contamination.

    Conley's role as NASA's planetary protection officer is to safeguard Mars — and any other alien surface NASA chooses to visit — from contamination by Earth-based microorganisms. There is so much life on Earth that it is impossible to sterilize any lander completely, and it's Conley's job to figure out just how much contamination is acceptable.

    The problem is that Curiosity has been on the Martian surface for over 3 years, so no one knows if the small amount of bacteria that contaminated it on launch day are still alive. And because no one knows, that means Vasavada and the rest of the rover team can't go near these RSLs for risk of contaminating future searches for the potential for life— at least until the problem is solved.

    And it's going to be a difficult one to tackle because NASA can't simply swab Curiosity's instruments because, well, it's on Mars, and unfortunately no swab stick is that long. So, scientists will have to take the same types and amounts of bacteria that were on Curiosity when it launched and expose them to conditions akin to what's on Mars.

    "Curiosity has been on Mars now for more than 3 years and a lot of the rover has been exposed to ultraviolet light and the dryness of Mars," Vasavada told Business Insider. "It would be a pretty challenging study to work through how Curiosity may have been cleaned just by being in the harsh environment of Mars."


    What Curiosity can contribute right now

    Even if such an analysis proves that Curiosity is too dirty to approach these RSLs, the rover could still contribute to this area of research, Vasavada said, with its camera.

    NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSSA view from the "Kimberley" formation on Mars where scientists found evidence of ancient lakes. Photo was taken by Curiosity rover.

    "One thing that Curiosity can do is to image these potential RSLs," he said. "Even without going up to them super close, we have a telephoto lens camera that once we get a little closer than we are now, it will actually get higher resolution images than what we can do from orbiters."

    That's very important, because the features on Mount Sharp are too small for orbiters to see — which is why scientists haven't managed to confirm or disprove whether the features in question are RSLs or something else. Curiosity's camera could help solve that mystery.

    As for the potential for life and Curiosity's ability to detect it within these features, Vasavada is skeptical.

    "The water would be quite salty and perhaps too salty to offer a good environment for life," he said. Moreover, the instruments on board Curiosity can identify the chemistry of Martian soil but not necessarily the detection of living organisms, Vasavada said. NASA's Mars 2020 rover, however, will have instruments on board that can detect life.

    When it comes to hunting for evidence for life on Mars, Vasavada is more interested in the ancient lakes on Mars than these RSLs. Vasavada and the Curiosity team recently confirmed the existence of these ancient lakes in the region where Curiosity is currently located.

    "We can't forget that 3.5 billion years ago there were giant fresh water lakes that lasted millions of years," he said. "That is even a more fantastic environment to think of the possibility of life."

    Russia declassified secret images from Venus that show extraterrestrial life

    The Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, published a series of photographs, taken by the Venera probe which allegedly show evidence of living organisms on Venus, one of the most inhospitable places for humans in the solar system. Venus, the second planet from the sun is the most similar planet in our solar system in terms of size and structure to Earth. In terms of the surface it is anything but Earth-like.

    It is the hottest planet in the solar system, mainly due to its atmosphere which is 97 percent carbon dioxide, a heat trapping greenhouse gas.

    The constant temperature on Venus is 480 degrees Celsius, a temperature which is hot enough to melt lead and it even hotter than the nearest planet to the Sun, Mercury.

    According to Russian scientist Leonid Ksanfomaliti, this image, taken from a Russian probe that landed on Venus in 1982, we can see a scorpion-shaped life form



    According to an explanation by Leonid Ksanfomaliti, doctor of physical and mathematical science, at the Institute of Space Research, the images taken 30 years ago reveal the movement of extremely strange objects on the surface of Venus.

    NASA quickly went on to debunk the discovery. As explained, the ‘disc’ that is seen moving on the surface is a lens cap, and the ‘scorpion-like-creature’ proposed by Ksanfomaliti is actually ‘noise’ in a second-hand picture which isn’t present in the original image.

    Ksanfomaliti believes that in the images, a scorpion-shaped creature, a disk and a ‘black flap’ are visible moving in front of the onboard camera of the Venera 13.


    According to reports from a Russian news agency Ksanfomaliti explained in an article of the Russian journal Solar System Research magazine: 'They all 'emerge, fluctuate and disappear,



    'What if we forget about the current theories about the non-existence of life on Venus, let's boldly suggest that the objects' morphological features would allow us to say that they are living,' he added.

    But American counterparts seem to firmly disagree with Ksanfomaliti. Ted Stryk who is a photo analyst at NASA says it is more likely that the disc Ksanfomaliti is talking about could have come from the spacecraft.


    'Venera-13 had two cameras, one in front and one in back. The one image shows the front camera lens cap and the other shows the rear camera lens cap, not one lens cap that moved,' he says, in comments on Life's Little Mysteries.

    NASA says there is no way that anything can survive on Venus today. However, scientists have not ruled out that once, in the distant past, Venus might have supported life, in a time when the planet might have had giant oceans and possibly life, before the ‘greenhouse effect’ created the temperatures that rule over the planet today.

    'Current theories suggest that Venus and the Earth may have started out alike. There might have been a lot of water on Venus and there might have been a lot of carbon dioxide on Earth,' Professor Andrew Ingersoll of Caltech said in a paper published in Astrobiology in 2004.


    Images of the surface of Venus taken by the Soviet Venera-13 descent module in 1982


    The problem with science and scholars in search for extraterrestrial life is that mankind believes that for life to exist elsewhere in the solar system or universe, a planet should have a similar climate and conditions to those of Earth.

    What if elsewhere, on Venus perhaps, there are living beings which need scorching temperatures in order to survive, beings that can breathe carbon dioxide and cannot survive with water or oxygen. In order to search more adequately for extraterrestrial life, we need to change the conditions and patterns for extraterrestrial life.

    Boyhood Encounter With UFO Inspired Art That Soared Around The World

    Ionel Talpazan's "Fundamental UFO".
    Courtesy of Henry Boxer Gallery

    Ionel Talpazan thought he saw a UFO when he was a boy, and never stopped seeing them. Of course, he created them.

    Ionel Talpazan was 60 years old when he died this week, of diabetes and stroke. He was a boy in a small village in Romania, given up by his parents and raised by a succession of foster parents. He told interviewers he escaped into the woods one night because he thought he would be beaten.

    He saw a blue, beating light in the sky above, and was sure it was a spacecraft.

    Ionel began to draw spacecraft; I'm not sure you can call them UFOs when an artist gives them such a vivid, colorful identify.

    It is hard not to think that a lost, frightened little boy in the woods would dream and draw pictures of amazing machines to swoop down from the heavens and take him away.

    But Ionel Talpazan had to make his own escape. As a young adult, he swam across the Danube River and into Yugoslavia, where he lived in a refugee camp before he could get to New York in the 1980s.

    He had rough times in his new world, too. But Ionel continued to draw pictures of spacecraft he imagined, often thrown open to reveal innards as elaborate as schematics; but rarely people. He slept in a cardboard box near Columbus Circle and sold drawings, paintings, and small flying saucers that he made out of plaster and scavenged parts.

    I don't know where life would have led Ionel Talpazan if he'd slept in a cardboard box on a corner of, say, Akron or Peoria. But in New York, a famous art figure named Henry Tobler saw an artist in his drawings, and wrote about him in scholarly journals. His pictures were included in Manhattan art galleries, and from the 1990s on, Ionel made his way in the world by his art.

    By the time he died, his works had hung at the American Visionary Art Museum, and museums in San Franciso, London, Berlin, Madrid, and France. Talpazans were sold in fancy galleries from Soho to Chelsea. The man who had slept in a box moved to a New York apartment.

    "My art shows spiritual technology, something beautiful and beyond human imagination, that comes from another galaxy," he once told the Western Folklore journal. "So, in relative way, this is like the God."

    Ionel Talpazan imagined incredible things, and made them alive in the eyes of others. In a way, he did escape on his UFO.

    Hubble-telescoop spot mysterieuze objecten in de ruimte: “Ze lijken in niets op wat ooit is gezien of voorspeld”

    In de protoplanetaire schijf rond de nabije ster AU Microscopii hebben sterrenkundigen nog nooit eerder waargenomen objecten ontdekt. De snel bewegende, golfachtige formaties lijken in niets op wat ooit is gezien of voorspeld.

    AU Microscopii is een relatief jonge ster die op 32 lichtjaar van de aarde staat. Het gaat om een zogeheten rode dwerg. Astronomen wisten al langer dat de ster wordt omgeven door een schijf van materie. Ze denken dat deze schijf is ontstaan doordat planetoïden zo hard op elkaar zijn gebotst dat ze zijn vermalen tot stof.

    Tijdens het analyseren van opnames die zijn gemaakt door de Very Large Telescope en de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop hebben wetenschappers onder leiding van Anthony Boccaletti iets bijzonder vreemds ontdekt. Er zijn golfachtige formaties te zien, die doen denken aan rimpelingen in water.

    Door oudere foto’s van de Hubble-telescoop te bestuderen, kwamen onderzoekers tot de conclusie dat de ongewone objecten zich met extreem hoge snelheden voortbewegen, tot wel 40.000 kilometer per uur. Er zijn vijf van deze golfachtige formaties ontdekt. Drie objecten bewegen zo snel dat ze aan de zwaartekracht van de ster kunnen ontsnappen.

    “Alles aan deze vondst was verrassend!” zei coauteur Carol Grady. “Omdat er nog nooit zoiets is waargenomen of voorspeld, kunnen we alleen maar speculeren.”

    De onderzoekers kunnen niet met zekerheid zeggen waardoor de mysterieuze rimpelingen zijn ontstaan. Ze vermoeden dat de golven zijn veroorzaakt door een grote zonnevlam. Het onderzoek is verschenen in vakblad Nature.

    New interesting photo footage of a UFO sighting recorded above Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas on 7th October 2015.

    Poster said:
    This was only seen in a photo after the fact. There were many planes flying by, all F-16s which are common around here since we have multiple AFB. I was taking photos of my son in the park and turned the camera to the planes flying by. The submitted picture is the end result…

    The first photo is as the plane is directly in front of me with nothing interesting in the picture but the F-16 itself. The second is as it flys away. However in this picture please review the top right hand side of the picture above the plane. This anomaly does not appear in any other photo I took today so I don’t believe it’s a lens or sensor issue…

    How Scientists Search the Cosmos for Encrypted Alien Signals (And Other Ones Too)

    In a recent conversation with National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson asked about communication with alien civilizations, and how such messages might be encoded.

    In any advanced civilization, there is only a “small period in the development of their society when all of their communications will be sent via the most primitive and most unprotected means,” Snowden said. And that if we pick up signals emanating from that civilization’s homeworld, such as television shows, phone calls, or satellite communication, it will most likely be encrypted because “all of their communications [would be] encrypted by default.” Because of how encryption works, those encrypted messages would be “indistinguishable to us from cosmic microwave background radiation.”

    Snowden was right about encrypted content looking like noise, but he was wrong about what scientists can tell by looking for alien metadata. Whether or not aliens use encryption, we can tell the difference between signals sent through space using transmitters and natural sources of radio signals — such as the radiation left over from when the universe first cooled down enough for photons to decouple themselves from the rest of matter, shortly after the Big Bang.

    The media coverage of this conversation has mostly been abysmal nonsense (“Snowden says aliens could be trying to get in touch right now” on CNET, “Edward Snowden Has A Depressing Theory About Aliens” on Huffington Post, “Snowden Re-Emerges from Russian Isolation With Alien Encryption Theories” on Digital Trends) with some sprinkles of evidence-based coverage from Live Science, also carried by Scientific American.

    Today I’m going to dive into the science of searching for extraterrestrial life in our galaxy, communicating across interstellar distances, and the role that encryption and information theory play in all of this.

    Are aliens real?

    “If you want to think the Earth is the only one that has intelligence, there’s no way to prove that that’s wrong,” says Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, a scientific and educational nonprofit devoted to the search for extraterrestrial life. “But that’s a really remarkable statement that suggests that there’s something extraordinarily unusual about this world. And that strikes me as maybe not such a reasonable assumption.”

    We have never found any direct evidence of alien intelligence, but personally, I’m betting on the aliens. Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is a big place, and as far as we know, all it takes for life to evolve is the right environment. Exoplanets that could support life are extremely abundant in our galaxy. “We believe that the number of planets out there that could be habitable, just in the Milky Way, is tens of billions,” says Shostak. “It might be as many as a hundred billion.”

    In 1952, Stanley Miller, under the supervision of Harold Urey, conducted a groundbreaking experiment that proved that you can take a primordial soup of the basic molecules that made up Earth’s pre-life environment (water vapor, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen), add some electricity — the same stuff that comes from lightning — and you get the amino acids that are a main component of the stuff of life.

    Once life exists on a planet, given enough time, it might evolve the kind of intelligence that will let it communicate with radios, like it did on Earth.

    Are aliens trying to communicate with us?

    You might think browsing the web with the privacy-enhancing Tor Browser is slow, but the latency of bouncing your signals around Earth a few times is nothing at all compared to interstellar communication — sending signals between the stars. If aliens send us a signal, or if we’re sending a signal out to aliens, the signal will only be moving at the speed of light, the fastest speed that nature allows.

    If we discover evidence of aliens living in a star system 1,000 light-years away — which is still just in our neighborhood, considering that our galaxy is over 100,000 light-years in diameter — and we send them a message, it will take a millennium before they receive it. If they decide to send a response, we’ll need to wait another millennium after that before we know if they even received it to begin with.

    If aliens in that star system right now are monitoring our star for evidence of intelligence, all of the signals they are receiving from humans left Earth in the year 1015. At that time, the Vikings had recently founded small settlements in North America; the Byzantine Empire was conquering the First Bulgarian Empire; and Iraqi scientist Alhazen, regarded as humanity’s first theoretical physicist, wrote the Book of Optics while under house arrest in Egypt.

    Communication with alien civilizations should be possible as long as we can receive their signals and they can receive ours, however it will be very slow. Proxima Centauri, our nearest stellar neighbor, is over 4 light-years away from us. If we’re lucky enough to find an alien civilization there that’s alive and detectable at the same time as our civilization is looking for life — and that’s an enormous, unlikely if — then it may be possible to communicate with them. Sending a message and receiving a response will take over eight years, though, so it might take many human lifetimes’ worth of communication before coming up with a common language that we both understand.

    So are aliens trying to communicate with us? If they are, we haven’t noticed yet. Discovering the metadata — the fact that aliens exist and are using radios to send messages — is the first barrier that we must tackle before we even attempt to look at the content — what the aliens are saying.


    SETI is monitoring for metadata, not content

    Can we tell the difference between messages sent from extraterrestrial civilizations and natural sources of radiation? “Galaxies make a lot of radio noise. Quasars make a lot of radio noise. Black holes makes some radio noise, and centers of galaxies,” Shostak told me. “All these things make radio noise. But it’s different than a transmitter. A transmitter tends to be on one spot on the radio dial. It’s a narrow-band emission.”

    The Allen Telescope Array

    Photo: SETI

    The goal of SETI’s experiments right now is to find alien transmitters, which, assuming they use technology similar to ours, can be detected regardless of encryption. If scientists find a radio signal that can’t occur naturally (as far as we know), and that’s a narrow-band emission — occupying a small slice of the radio spectrum, like when you tune your radio to 93.6 FM — then that signal could be produced by extraterrestrial intelligence, even if the message is encrypted. Any message sent through space by an alien civilization will look different than natural radiation, and those differences are what SETI is searching for.

    In fact, in the process of looking for evidence of alien metadata, the content itself, whether it’s encrypted or not, gets destroyed. Shostak says that SETI’s radio experiments “average the incoming signals, if there are any, for at least seconds, and usually for minutes,” which will lose any information in the message. We would need much bigger instruments than we’re currently using if we want to record the content of signals from interstellar space.

    “It’s like the ‘on the air’ sign you might see in a radio studio doesn’t tell you what the content is,” Shostak explains. “The content might be Top 40, it might be talk radio, who knows what it is? But you at least know they’re on the air.”


    Indistinguishable from random

    Scientists aren’t going to confuse an encrypted signal from aliens with cosmic microwave background radiation, or other natural sources of radio noise that we understand, because they’re searching for how the signal was transmitted, not what the signals says. But once we start looking at the content of signals from space, Snowden was entirely right when he said, “You can’t distinguish a properly encrypted communication […] from random noise.”

    This property of cryptosystems, that encrypted messages are indistinguishable from random data, is known as ciphertext indistinguishability and is necessary to prevent things like the known-plaintext attack from working. The Nazi Enigma machines were vulnerable to known-plaintext attacks, which is how Alan Turing and his team at Bletchly Park defeated their encryption during World War II.

    Ciphertext indistinguishability only refers to the scrambled message. In practice, you can often easily tell if a piece of information is encrypted because of its protocol. For example, if you see a block of random-looking characters that begins with “—–BEGIN PGP MESSAGE—–” there’s a good chance that’s an encrypted message. But without having the right key, you can’t actually confirm that the scrambled message part of it isn’t just random noise.

    Most everyday encryption loudly proclaims not only that it’s encrypted, but exactly how it’s encrypted. Otherwise, legitimate recipients who hold the decryption keys won’t understand how they’re supposed to decrypt it. This isn’t true of deniable encryption, and it also wouldn’t be true if we recorded a piece of an encrypted message from aliens mid-stream, failing to record any protocol information associated with the message.

    Check out this short video from Khan Academy‘s free online cryptography class explaining one-time pads, which Snowden describes to Tyson. One-time pads are the only type of encryption that have been proven to be perfect and uncrackable so long as they’re used correctly and the attacker cannot steal the key.


    When we do receive an alien signal, how do we know what it says?

    Picture this: You’re at the headquarters of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, USA, Earth, Solar System, the Milky Way. It’s the hopefully-not-too-distant future, and for the first time SETI has just recorded the content of a message from an extraterrestrial civilization. We are not alone.

    Now that you have an alien message, how are you going to know what it says? Is it encrypted, or is it perhaps an alien Golden Record, full of information about their history, culture, and technology? We don’t speak their language, and we have never communicated before. All we have is a stream of data to work from, but we know that it came from extraterrestrial intelligence.

    In order to learn how much information is in the message, you can do “a statistical analysis on the signal and see if it has what’s called low entropy,” Shostak tells me. “If it has patterns in it, if it has repetitions in it at all, even though you don’t understand a single word of what they’re saying, you can determine that there’s information in it.”

    This measurement of entropy is similar to how you might measure the strength of a password. Entropy is random noise. Entropy is essential for encryption — for example, if you’re encrypting something with a one-time pad, you want your key to be made of pure entropy, to have zero patterns, to be entirely random and uncertain. Information resolves uncertainly. A message that contains information will be at least somewhat predictable.

    If you have 10 minutes to spare, watch this intriguing video from Khan Academy‘s free online information theory class. It describes SETI’s early work in measuring the entropy of signals by recording baby humans in their “babbling phase,” when they’re just learning to speak, and comparing that to the entropy present in adult human speech — and also comparing this to baby and adult dolphin communications. Based on how much entropy is in dolphin communication — that is, how much of it is entirely random versus how much of it is predictable — it appears that dolphins, like humans, communicate in a structured language. Without knowing anything about the aliens who sent us this signal, you can tell if their message, too, is structured.

    Of course, if this message is properly encrypted — if it’s an alien television show or phone call from a civilization where everything is encrypted by default — the content will be indistinguishable from random, which means it will appear to be full of entropy. Although we might be confident that the signal was produced by aliens, we wouldn’t be able to glean any information from the content of the message.

    “I don’t doubt that they use encryption technology, at least for their internal communications,” Shostak told me. But if aliens were trying to communicate with us, there’s no way that they would encrypt that message. Instead, they would use “anti-encryption,” encoding their message so that it’s as easy as possible for us to understand. “They would try and make it simple,” Shostak says. “They would send you pictures.”

    Encryption is only useful if the recipient can decrypt the messages. Earth scientists listening to the stars can’t make sense of a random signal from space any more than they can break the encryption of a one-time pad — they simply can’t, because it’s not possible.

    Parallel Worlds Exist & Interact With Our World, Physicists Say

    Do parallel worlds ever cross paths? (Photo: Martin Brigden/flickr)

    Quantum mechanics, though firmly tested, is so weird and anti-intuitive that famed physicist Richard Feynman once remarked, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” Attempts to explain some of the bizarre consequences of quantum theory have led to some mind-bending ideas, such as the Copenhagen interpretation and the many-worlds interpretation.
    Now there’s a new theory on the block, called the “many interacting worlds” hypothesis (MIW), and the idea is just as profound as it sounds. The theory suggests not only that parallel worlds exist, but that they interact with our world on the quantum level and are thus detectable. Though still speculative, the theory may help to finally explain some of the bizarre consequences inherent in quantum mechanics, reports RT.com.
    The theory is a spin-off of the many-worlds interpretation in quantum mechanics — an idea that posits that all possible alternative histories and futures are real, each representing an actual, though parallel, world. One problem with the many-worlds interpretation, however, has been that it is fundamentally untestable, since observations can only be made in our world. Happenings in these proposed “parallel” worlds can thus only be imagined.

     MIW, however, says otherwise. It suggests that parallel worlds can interact on the quantum level, and in fact that they do.

    "The idea of parallel universes in quantum mechanics has been around since 1957," explained Howard Wiseman, a physicist at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, and one of the physicists to come up with MIW. "In the well-known ‘Many-Worlds Interpretation’, each universe branches into a bunch of new universes every time a quantum measurement is made. All possibilities are therefore realised – in some universes the dinosaur-killing asteroid missed Earth. In others, Australia was colonised by the Portuguese."

    "But critics question the reality of these other universes, since they do not influence our universe at all," he added. "On this score, our "Many Interacting Worlds" approach is completely different, as its name implies."

    Wiseman and colleagues have proposed that there exists "a universal force of repulsion between ‘nearby’ (i.e. similar) worlds, which tends to make them more dissimilar." Quantum effects can be explained by factoring in this force, they propose.

    Whether or not the math holds true will be the ultimate test for this theory. Does it or does it not properly predict quantum effects mathematically? But the theory is certain to provide plenty of fodder for the imagination.

    For instance, when asked about whether their theory might entail the possibility that humans could someday interact with other worlds, Wiseman said: "It's not part of our theory. But the idea of [human] interactions with other universes is no longer pure fantasy."

    What might your life look like if you made different choices? Maybe one day you'll be able to look into one of these alternative worlds and find out.

    Are aliens feeding the Milky Way's black hole?

    Milky Way’s Black Hole Shows Signs of Increased Chatter: Three orbiting X-ray space telescopes have detected an increased rate of X-ray flares from the usually quiet giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy after new long-term monitoring.

    A Fresh Perspective on an Extraordinary Cluster of Galaxies: Galaxy clusters are often described by superlatives. After all, they are huge conglomerations of galaxies, hot gas, and dark matter and represent the largest structures in the Universe held together by gravity.

    Like aerosolizing gasoline and blowing it at a lit match, something is circling OUR black hole — ("Sagittarius A*" or "Sgr A*") the one at the center of the Milky Way — and feeding it.

    NASA panics:

    Three orbiting X-ray space telescopes have detected an increased rate of X-ray flares from the usually quiet giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy after new long-term monitoring. Scientists are trying to learn whether this is normal behavior that was unnoticed due to limited monitoring, or these flares are triggered by the recent close passage of a mysterious, dusty object.

    By combining information from long monitoring campaigns by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton, with observations by the Swift satellite, astronomers were able to carefully trace the activity of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole over the last 15 years. The supermassive black hole, a.k.a. Sagittarius A*, weighs in at slightly more than 4 million times the mass of the Sun. X-rays are produced by hot gas flowing toward the black hole.

    The object identified by NASA as the possible culprit is "G2"

    "There isn't universal agreement on what G2 is," said Mark Morris of the University of California at Los Angeles. "However, the fact that Sgr A* became more active not long after G2 passed by suggests that the matter coming off of G2 might have caused an increase in the black hole's feeding rate."

    Uh ... yeah ... because aliens have guided it — whatever it is — into an orbit around Sgr A* that will keep it feeding this monster for 1,000 million years or something.

    But why? The setting in motion of a mega-scale chemical reaction that will bring about the end of our galaxy as a part of some grand plan for the superstructure of the Milky Way?

    Well, that's the beauty of being a species that both imagines on a grand scale through fictional settings what could be and yet pursues from the quantum- to the mega-scale the way things really are ... the way things could ever be.

    While the timing of G2's passage with the surge in X-rays from Sgr A* is intriguing, astronomers see other black holes that seem to behave like Sgr A*. Therefore, it's possible this increased chatter from Sgr A* may be a common trait among black holes and unrelated to G2. For example, the increased X-ray activity could be due to a change in the strength of winds from nearby massive stars that are feeding material to the black hole.

    "It's too soon to say for sure, but we will be keeping X-ray eyes on Sgr A* in the coming months," said co-author Barbara De Marco, also of Max Planck. "Hopefully, new observations will tell us whether G2 is responsible for the changed behavior or if the new flaring is just part of how the black hole behaves."

    Well, the story of aliens sling-shooting a massive, effervescent object at our black hole to feed it over a few hundred million years is more interesting. But why? From gods to aliens, we need something out there that has a plan for us, even if it's our demise. Why, damn it, why?

    Red Sea: Archaeologists Discover Remains of Egyptian Army From the Biblical Exodus

    Suez | Egypt’s Antiquities Ministry announced this morning that a team of underwater archaeologists had discovered that remains of a large Egyptian army from the 14th century BC, at the bottom of the Gulf of Suez, 1.5 kilometers offshore from the modern city of Ras Gharib. The team was searching for the remains of ancient ships and artifacts related to Stone Age and Bronze Age trade in the Red Sea area, when they stumbled upon a gigantic mass of human bones darkened by age.

    The scientists lead by Professor Abdel Muhammad Gader and associated with Cairo University’s Faculty of Archaeology, have already recovered a total of more than 400 different skeletons, as well as hundreds of weapons and pieces of armor, also the remains of two war chariots, scattered over an area of approximately 200 square meters. They estimate that more than 5000 other bodies could be dispersed over a wider area, suggesting that an army of large size who have perished on the site.

    This magnificient blade from an egyptian khopesh, was certainly the weapon of an important character. It was discovered near the remains of a richly decorated war chariot, suggesting it could have belonged to a prince or nobleman.

    Many clues on the site have brought Professor Gader and his team to conclude that the bodies could be linked to the famous episode of the Exodus. First of all, the ancient soldiers seem to have died on dry ground, since no traces of boats or ships have been found in the area. The positions of the bodies and the fact that they were stuck in a vast quantity of clay and rock, implie that they could have died in a mudslide or a tidal wave.

    The shear number of bodies suggests that a large ancient army perished on the site and the dramatic way by which they were killed, both seem to corroborate the biblical version of the Red Sea Crossing, when the army of the Egyptian Pharaoh was destroyed by the returning waters that Moses had parted. This new find certainly proves that there was indeed an Egyptian army of large size that was destroyed by the waters of the Red Sea during the reign of King Akhenaten.

    For centuries, the famous biblical account of the “Red Sea Crossing” was dismissed by most scholars and historians as more symbolic than historical. This astounding discovery brings undeniable scientific proof that one the most famous episodes of the Old Testament was indeed, based on an historical event.

    It brings a brand new perspective on a story that many historians have been considering for years as a work of fiction, and suggesting that other themes like the “Plagues of Egypt” could indeed have an historical base.

    A lot more research and many more recovery operations are to be expected on the site over the next few years, as Professor Gader and his team have already announced their desire to retrieve the rest of the bodies and artifacts from was has turned out to be one of the richest archaeological underwater sites ever discovered

    Astronauts just shot one of their first videos in ultra-high definition, and it's mesmerizingµ

    What do you do when NASA asks you to push the boundaries of human spaceflight by spending more time on board the International Space Station than anyone before you — 377 consecutive days to be exact?

    You make green, exploding space balls:


    .

    Astronauts have played around with floating spheres of water and effervescent tablets on the ISS numerous times, but this video starring astronaut Scott Kelly and his ball of changing colors is exceptional. That's because it is one of the first space videos that NASA has shot in 4K ultra-high definition (UHD).

    Next to the 8K UHD, 4K UHD is the highest-resolution viewing experience you can get — it's four times the definition that your standard 1080p HD television can offer.

    And right now, NASA is testing and evaluating these cameras to learn how they can be used to improve scientific experiments and analysis in space. And it seems that astronaut Kelly — who has five more months left in his one-year stay on the ISS — doesn't mind giving a helping hand:


    "The higher resolution images and higher frame rate videos can reveal more information when used on science investigations, giving researchers a valuable new tool aboard the space station," NASA explained in a description of the video astronaut Scott Kelly recently took on board the ISS.

    Astronaut Kelly's video isn't just beautiful; it highlights different colors, textures, and movements that demonstrate the high-resolution camera's awesome capabilities.

    You can see individual pockets of water explode off the surface after the effervescent tablet has dissolved.


    .That's because as the tablet dissolves, it generates bubbles of carbon-dioxide gas inside the water that would normally rise to the surface of a glass on Earth — but in space they move to the outer edges of the sphere, expanding in size until the bubbles pop and fling bits of water everywhere.

    Check out the full video on YouTube or below — and make sure to change the video's quality settings to "2160p 4K":

    My perspective on the UFO phenomenon, based on the 5 propositions by Dr. Jacques Vallee

    My perspective on the UFO phenomenon

    My perspective on the UFO phenomenon is based on the propositions made by both Dr. Jacques Vallee and the late Tomas Scolarici (a.k.a., James Black):

    1. “The things we call unidentified flying objects are neither objects nor flying.
    They can materialize, as some reliable photographs seem to show, and they violate the laws of motion as we know them”.
    (QUOTE from Dr. Jacques Vallee’s acclaimed book, DIMENSIONS)

    2. “Those unidentified flying objects that remain UNIDENTIFIED and challenge any natural definition, are not a new phenomenon.
    These “Entities” are with us from the beginning of our historical times, and perhaps before.”
    (QUOTE from Tomas Solarici, a.k.a., James Black).

    “UFOs have been seen throughout history and have consistently received (or provided) their own explanation within the framework of each culture.
    In antiquity their occupants were regarded as gods; in medieval times, as magicians; in the nineteenth century, as scientific geniuses; in our own time, as interplanetary travelers.
    (Statements made by occupants of the 1897 airship included such declarations as ‘We are from Kansas’ and even ‘We are from anywhere….but we’ll be in Greece tomorrow’)”
    (QUOTE from Dr. Jacques Vallee’s acclaimed book, DIMENSIONS)

    3. “UFO reports are not necessarily caused by visits from space travelers. The phenomenon could be a manifestation of a much more complex technology. If time and space are not as simple in structure as physicists have assumed until now, then the question ‘Where do they come from?’ may be meaningless; they could come from a place in time. If consciousness can be manifested outside the body, then the range of hypotheses can be even wider.”
    (QUOTE from Dr. Jacques Vallee’s acclaimed book, DIMENSIONS)

    “The extraterrestrial hypothesis is not satisfactory at all. The time travelers hypothesis about UFOs, is better than the extraterrestrial one, but in no way answers all our questions”.
    (QUOTE from the late Tomas Solarici, a.k.a., James Black).

    4) “The key to an understanding of the phenomenon lies in the psychic effects it produces (or the psychic awareness it makes possible) in its observers.
    Their lives are often deeply changed, and they develop unusual talents with which they may find it difficult to cope.
    The proportion of witnesses who do come forward and publish accounts of these experiences is quite low; most of them choose to remain silent”.
    (QUOTE from Dr. Jacques Vallee’s acclaimed book, DIMENSIONS)

    5) “Contact between human percipients and the UFO phenomenon always occurs under conditions controlled by the latter. Its characteristic feature is a factor of absurdity that leads to a rejection of the story by the upper layers of the target society and an absorption at a deep unconscious level of the symbols conveyed by the encounter.
    The mechanism of this resonance between the UFO symbol and the archetypes of the human unconscious has been abundantly demonstrated by Carl Jung, whose book FLYING SAUCERS makes many references to the age-old significance of the signs in the sky”.
    (QUOTE from Dr. Jacques Vallee’s acclaimed book, DIMENSIONS)

    “The UFO phenomenon COEXISTS with us, humans.
    The UFO phenomenon is with us, was with our ancestors and will be in the future without changes.
    These “Entities” have no need, or are not interested, or cannot openly contact us”
    (QUOTE from the late Tomas Solarici, a.k.a., James Black).

    6) “It’s possible that the complexity of the UFO phenomenon makes any understanding impossible.
    Nobody knows what the UFO phenomenon is, and probably we will never know more”
    (QUOTE from the late Tomas Scolarici, a.k.a., James Black).

    7) “The UFO phenomenon is not a threat to our security.
    The same phenomenon neither was a threat for the Sumerians or Romans, or Indians”.
    (QUOTE from the late Tomas Solarici, a.k.a., James Black).

    8) “There is no such thing as a cover-up, and the authorities know as little about the nature of the UFO phenomenon as ourselves.
    They learned however that the UFO phenomenon is not a threat for our Security”.
    (QUOTE from the late Tomas Solarici, a.k.a., James Black).

    I am in total agreement with both Dr. Jacques Vallee and the late Tomas Solarici, a.k.a., James Black.
    Yes, they summarize my personal position on the entire UFO phenomenon.
    This is the reason why, in my opinion, there will be no such thing as DISCLOSURE by the government.
    Sure, the governments of the world could release ALL files on UFO sightings anytime, if they wish to.
    However, just releasing such files will do absolutely nothing, since the public will clamor for the explanations as to what the UFO phenomenon is.
    The government is only responsible for explaining things that deal with physical, tangible, solid, empirical evidence as we know them.
    Anything else, the governmet is not in the business of dealing with.
    If there will be any DISCLOSURE, it will come directly from the “Entities” themselves or from a paradigm-shifted majority of mankind (which has not happened yet).

    This could be controversial, but is the UFO phenomenon equivalent to demonic activity?

    UFOs Declassified looks at hard evidence behind infamous sightings


    Documentary series, debuting Friday on History Canada, takes a military-history approach to such well-known UFO incidents as Roswell and Rendlesham Forest.

    A scene from UFOs Declassified, debuting Jan. 9 on History Canada.

    By: Ben Rayner Pop Music Critic, 

    There is, to be blunt, a lot of nonsense about UFOs out there.

    Airy-fairy, touchy-feely, “Welcome, alien brothers and sisters” New Age ho-hum. Unsubstantiated, conspiratorial conjecture. And pure, unadulterated fiction.

    At the same time, however, no one has ever been able to establish who or what is behind the many documented UFOs that remain truly “unidentified.” There are a lot of those. At least five percent of UFO sightings have eluded explanation in every major study into the matter since the late 1940s. Even the U.S. Air Force’s contentious Project Blue Book, long considered a dismissive whitewash of the true situation by UFO scholars, shut down in 1969 acknowledging that 741 of the 12,618 cases it had investigated over the previous two decades stood as genuine “unknowns.”

    The CIA made a peculiar announcement last week via Twitter, too, suggesting on Dec. 29 that its U2 spy plane program was responsible for “more than half” the UFO sightings in the 1950s, particularly those by commercial pilots who didn’t expect to see any kind of aircraft above them at 60,000 feet.

    “The reports of unusual activity in the skies in the ’50s? It was us,” claimed @CIA, yet the very declassified report it linked to conceded that the CIA could not explain what caused the other half.

    Lots of the most puzzling UFO incidents on record can be found in the annals of international military history, despite long-maintained professions of disinterest on the part of the international military establishment.

    8:11 PM - 29 Dec 2014

    These marked perfect points of entry into the subject for Toronto documentarian Wayne Abbott, director and co-producer of the new series UFOs Declassified, which is set to make its domestic TV debut — ahead of airings in the U.S. and the U.K. — on History Canada at 8 p.m. on Friday.

    Abbott got his start in sports television, working on CBC’s venerable Hockey Night in Canada and covering multiple Olympic Games for CTV and NBC during the 1980s and early 1990s, but has since made his name as a purveyor of such well-regarded, investigative, military-historical documentaries as Unlucky Lady (about the sinking of the HMCS Athabascan off the coast of France in 1944) and Dieppe Uncoveredthrough his Northern Sky Entertainment production house.

    Many of those works were borne of meticulous digging into once-classified Second World War documents, which led Abbott to wonder if he might construct a similar TV project based around the myriad UFO-related documents liberated from official military secrecy since the end of the Cold War.

    “I’ve always been fascinated by the UFO subject and the idea of UFOs. Whether the UFOs are extraterrestrial or something beyond our comprehension that’s happening, I’ve always found it one of the greatest mysteries and jumped at the chance to actually produce television shows based on the subject,” says Abbott.

    His tactic with UFOs Declassified was simple: take that one simple, but crucial step beyond so many other UFO programs that have come before and provide hard evidence to shore up the first-person testimony of witnesses. For him, the new show is simply an extension of his previous investigations into shrouded military history.


    UFO incidents such as Roswell and Rendlesham Forest are examined inUFOs Declassified.

    UFO incidents such as Roswell and Rendlesham Forest are examined in UFOs Declassified.

    “Could we look at the primary sources, the documents and information that were captured at the time?” says Abbott. “Some of it is extraordinary — not just documents that were written within a day or two, but air-traffic controller recordings and police-dispatch tapes that were recorded at the time. And this is what we wanted to base it on.”

    The initial, six-episode run of UFOs Declassified delves into several storied cases of “unidentified aerial phenomena.”

    The infamous “Roswell Incident” of 1947 gets an airing, of course. Along with that obvious target, however, the series gives sober, even-handed consideration to some other unusual aerial happenings not quite so well known outside UFO-enthusiast circles.

    There’s the 1942 “Battle of Los Angeles,” where U.S. troops fired more than 1,400 rounds to no avail at a gigantic flying object seen by hundreds of witnesses (and photographed) before it vanished without a trace. The waves of triangular-UFO sightings over Belgium, England and the U.S. during the late 1980s and early ’90s that eventually, after extensive investigation, prompted the Belgian Air Force to declare the phenomenon completely beyond explanation are given a thorough examination in “Black Triangles.”

    Meriting an episode of their own, too, are the compelling, multi-day visitations by unknown objects — not to mention at least one landing that left a triangular indentation and radiation traces on the forest floor — in Rendlesham Forest near the joint U.S./NATO bases of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England, during the Christmas and Boxing Day holidays in 1980.

    The latter is of particular interest to Nick Pope. A onetime appointee to the U.K. Ministry of Defence’s cryptically titled Air Staff 2A division who converted from skeptic to believer when handed responsibility for overseeing British military’s UFO files, he released his own document of the Bentwaters incident entitled Encounter in Rendlesham Forest last year and served as a consultant and onscreen expert for UFOs Declassified.

    “I hope I have brought to it a degree of gravitas and authority and, hopefully, historical accuracy,” he says. “I think this subject — if I’m being generous — sometimes I’d say it’s one percent signal, 99 percent noise. And hopefully, one of the things that I’ve been able to do is help Wayne and (co-producer) John Moores find the good stuff. We don’t want just stories. We want stories where there’s a verifiable audit trail of government documents that can back up the story — where, for example, we know that there is radar evidence or photographic evidence.”

    Stories are fine, says Pope, “as long as they’re caveated as such.” But for some of the stories UFOs Declassified focuses on he was actually able to source the original documents from the U.K. National Archives. This sort of due diligence is where UFOs Declassified ranks a cut above a lot of its alien-obsessed TV brethren.

    The “hard” cases tackled by UFOs Declassified are those that torment pilots and leave physical evidence such as impressions in the ground, distressed or singed vegetation and radioactive traces — not to mention credible witnesses frequently altered by their experience — in their wake before returning to . . . well, who knows?

    Because the very mention of the subject has become an instant magnet for ridicule for anyone who voices a question about the subject, we’re really no closer to finding out than we were when they first buzzed across the popular consciousness at the dawn of the Cold War.

    “There were people we wanted to come on board who didn’t want to do a UFO show because there’s a stigma attached to it,” acknowledges Abbott, who blames decades of “bad television shows and movies” and irresponsible reporting for turning UFOs into a no-go zone.


    A scene from UFOs Declassified

    “I think our show does show a lot of compelling evidence. There’s nothing definitive to show what has happened over the last, say, 70 years — which is sort of the area that we’re looking at — to say that they are extraterrestrial, but at the same time there’s nothing definitive to say that they’re not.”

    Pope is just pleased to be involved with a program that operates “more from a historian’s perspective as opposed to a wide-eyed believer’s perspective” and stays “focused on the things that really do go above stories and get into the area of verifiability.”

    “This subject, I suppose, is like a religion, in a way. Everyone’s got an opinion on it, and most of those opinions are pretty polarized,” he says, offering a two-pronged opinion of his own on why so many people refuse to look deeper into an obvious “known unknown” that has resisted mainstream scientific inquiry for decades.

    “I think there are two things. The first is the fact that I already mentioned, that there is so much noise and so little signal that there is a tendency for people to throw out the baby with the bathwater.”

    The second thing keeping people from acknowledging the reality of UFOs — and again, you don’t have to believe in extraterrestrials to accept the reality of UFOs — is “a little more psychological.”

    “This is so deeply challenging to some people’s worldview and their paradigm that it maybe takes them to a place where they would not be very comfortable,” says Pope. “The religion analogy I used deliberately. I think if something comes along that so fundamentally challenges your understanding of the universe and your place in it that it is, for some people, deeply uncomfortable, they are resistant from going down a path that might take them to that place. “

    Un atterrissage avec humanoide près de Marrakech

    image: http://sciences-fictions-histoires.com/medias/images/reconstitution1.jpg?fx=r_250_250
    reconstitution1.jpg

    Une enquête de Gérard Lebat, des Repas Ufologiques de Marrakech (2012), publiée avec son aimable autorisation :

    Je recherchais une personne pour s’occuper de l’entretien d’une propriété. Je suis donc en contact avec beaucoup de gens, en règle générale des marocains ne parlant pas le Français, parlant même dans certains cas, que le « berbère » local. La tâche n’est donc pas facile et il me faut en générale une personne pour « traduire ». Ici, ces recherches se font essentiellement via le « téléphone arabe » c'est-à-dire les relations qui en parlent autour d’elles, ces derniers répercutant la nouvelle. On est ainsi amené à rencontrer d’innombrables personnes, habitant parfois très loin.

    Au mois de Mars 2012, j’ai rencontré une personne, qui parlait le français convenablement, nous avons enconséquence longuement discuté. Nous avons évoqués de nombreux sujets et je lui ai à un moment parlé du fait que je m’intéressais à tout ce qui était mystérieux et qui touchait l’espace, le ciel, les étoiles et naturellement tout ce qu’on pouvait y observer, y compris des objets inconnus. Le mot « ovni » a ainsi été prononcé, ce dernier n’était pas inconnu de mon interlocuteur qui parfois regarde les chaînes de télévision en provenance de la France. J’évoquais sans détailler ce qu’était ce phénomène, les observations de points lumineux, les objets à terre et à très basse altitude. Brahim, un peu plus d’une quarantaine d’années, c’est le prénom de cette personne qui se présentait pour le poste recherché, sans toutefois en avoir les compétences, candidature qui ne pouvait donc pas convenir. Mais, il évoqua toutefois dans la conversation, le fait que son père, âgé aujourd’hui de 70 ans, avait été l’objet, dans les années 60 – 70, d’une bien étrange observation.

    Bien, que généralement je n’aborde pas ce sujet ici, les habitants ont autre chose à faire que de s’occuper de ces sujets. Manger, trouver un peu d’argent, étant la principale préoccupation, surtout pour les habitants de la campagne qui ont bien souvent le minimum pour ne pas mourir de faim. Et pour le superflu, s’offrir une télévision par exemple, bien souvent d’occasion, si âgée et en aussi mauvais état apparent qu’on ne la ramasserait même pas en France dans une poubelle, ceci pour quelques dizaines d’euros, il leur faut économiser et faire de bonnes affaires. Mais pas facile à la campagne ou personne n’a d’argent. Il faut souvent monter à la ville, vendre à meilleurs prix ce qu’on a produit. La situation à la campagne est bien différente de la ville, ou ceux qui ont réussi, parviennent à vivre honorablement. Mais ce jour-là, Brahim était relativement bavard, il évoqua donc l’histoire qu’avait vécu son père : une nuit, réveillé par ses chiens, les chiens des voisins, souvent membre de sa famille, il se leva et regarda par la fenêtre. Il observa alors, à 70/100 m de lui environ, un objet qui était à terre et il a pu voir dans la nuit, une silhouette, pas plus grande qu’un enfant, qui se dirigeait vers l’objet, le contourna. Puis au maximum 2 minutes plus tard l’objet s’éleva lentement à la verticale, sans bruit, puis disparu à l’horizontal, tout en s’élevant dans l’espace, à une vitesse relativement élevée. (aussi rapide que les avions à réaction, type F16, à basse altitude, qui étaient présentés par les américains il y a quelques années ici à Marrakech, et dont certains ont survolés la régions.)

    L’affaire me semblait intéressante, peu d’observation d’objets à terre au Maroc, quelques cas avec des entités aux abords, mais ici comme l’information ne circule pas facilement vers les médias, la situation est normale et elle est connue. D’autre part, pour un villageois de la campagne, il ne serait pas question d’aller raconter une telle histoire à la gendarmerie, qui d’autre part ne saurait pas quoi en faire. La peur du « gendarme » est ici très grande, synonyme de problèmes qui peuvent être très graves…

    image: http://sciences-fictions-histoires.com/medias/images/mapknine-1.png
    mapknine-1.png

    En conséquence, son père n’a jamais parlé de cela, sinon à sa famille proche, évoquant plutôt une apparitiond’un « signe » religieux pouvant apporter le malheur. Jamais le cas ne fut donc évoqué en détails, même dans le proche cercle familial et encore moins chez les voisins ou les personnes que peut rencontrer le témoin. Brahim, ne pouvait donc pas m’en dire plus, un objet vu par la fenêtre, une silhouette et l’objet qui a décollé.

    Je tentais alors indirectement de lui demander s’il serait possible de rencontrer son père. Ou il habitait. Pour le lieu où se situait le domicile de cette personne, pas de soucis, un petit groupe de maisons, le père, les enfants proches des voisins, non loin de Tahanaout, une distance de cinquante kilomètres au maximum de mon domicile. L’objectif était évidemment de tenter d’en savoir plus sur ce cas. La rencontre n’est pas facile, le père est âgé, il habite la campagne et il n’évoque pas cette affaire, encore moins à un étranger. Arriver à deux ou trois personnes, étrangères à ce village, dans ce « bled » va faire « jaser » et que vont bien dire les habitants. Ici, on prend soin de sa personnalité au sein du village et on craint le « ce que vont penser les autres » ! Ce n’était donc pas gagné d’avance, mais, avec diplomatie, en rassurant Brahim sur le fait que jamais personne ne serait informé des identités, le fait que nous serions le plus discret possible lors de notre venue, sans matériel, ni même appareil photo et le plus rapide possible, j’ai tenté d’obtenir une entrevue avec son père.

    Il est parti en me promettant de lui parler de mon intérêt pour cette observation et de demander à son père s’il accepterait de me parler. Je n’étais absolument pas convaincu qu’un jour j’aurai une réponse, ni même des nouvelles de Brahim.

    Début Avril 2012, un appel téléphonique, surprise, c’est Brahim qui m’appelle. Il me dit que mes histoires d’ovni l’ont intrigué, qu’il avait parlé à plusieurs amis de ce phénomène et que plusieurs avaient fait des observations de lumières inconnues dans le ciel. Mais tous ces cas sont anciens, sans date précise et nous en avons déjà des dizaines de milliers, ce qui ne nous apporte rien de nouveau. Je n’entreprends donc aucune démarche sur toutes ces histoires imprécises en générale. Mais le plus important, c’est qu’il a eu l’occasion de voir son père et que ce dernier accepte de me rencontrer.

    Nous convenons donc de nous rencontrer le Lundi 7 mai 2012 vers 10 h 00 au carrefour du village de Knine. (Environ 40 kms de Marrakech) Il s’agit du carrefour, sur la carte, entre la P2017 et la P2010. Ce village, n’est pas mentionné sur la carte, mais il est aujourd’hui important et le commerce y est actif. Le Lundi, dans cevillage, en contrebas, (à environ 1 km 500 du croisement) il y a un souk typique qui a encore conservé aujourd’hui son caractère campagnard.

    RENDEZ-VOUS POUR ALLER RENDRE VISITE AU TÉMOIN

    Le jour venu je suis sur les lieux du rendez-vous et je retrouve Brahim. C’est lui qui me traduira en Français, nous n’avons pas jugé indispensable pour raison de discrétion, de nous déplacer à plus de personnes. Nous poursuivons notre route, empruntant la P2010 qui rejoint Tahanaout et après quelques kilomètres, il nous faut emprunter une piste sur la gauche de la route, qui nous mène en direction de la montagne. Un kilomètre de piste, pas de soucis, on peu y aller en voiture, me dit Brahim……. Mais, au fil des minutes, la piste relativement bonne, l’hiver n’a pas été très pluvieux, les kilomètres s’additionnent !...... En bref, comme à l’habitude ici, un petit kilomètre qui en fait bien 5 chez nous….. et sur une piste, la route parait longue……. Mais après un bon quart d’heure de piste, j’aperçois un groupe de maisons en pisé (des habitations rudimentaires faites en terre, comme on en trouve partout dans la campagne marocaine) qui forment un petit ensemble. C’est là qu’habite mon père, me confirme Brahim.

    au-loin-un-groupe-maison-en-pise-c-g-lebat-c.jpg

    Nous nous arrêtons devant un mur déjà bien usé par les années (les murs sont en terre, la pluie l’hiver les abimes essentiellement sur leur partie supérieure, ce qui demande un entretien constant) dans lequel une porte faite de bric et de broc, des planches de différentes origines et qui ont certainement plusieurs décennies, est percée. Dans le champ avoisinant, deux ânes, un mulet, paisiblement tentent de trouver quelques brins de paille pour se nourrir.

    Après avoir arrêtée la voiture, ici pas de soucis pour les emplacements de stationnement, nous sommes seul, nous nous dirigeons vers la porte. Derrière, déjà les chiens aboient, entraînant dans ce « système d’alarme » efficace, les nombreux autres chiens de ce groupe d’habitation. Brahim pousse la porte, une petite cours, quelques moutons dans un coin, des poules, un coq et devant la maison un homme âgé, (il a 70 ans environ) le père de Brahim qui se prénomme Mohamed.

    Raide, malgré les années et un travail difficile dans les champs qui ont usés son corps, sérieux et qui est loin de prendre notre arrivé à la rigolade, Mohammed nous accueil toutefois chaleureusement et est très heureux à la fois de recevoir la visite de son fils et de ma présence. Il nous invite à entrer, la pièce est simple, 3 m de large sur 6 m de long, dans laquelle sont installés au sol et sur le pourtour des tapis et des cousins. Il y a seulement une petite fenêtre, 80 cms par 80 cms pour ouverture ainsi que la porte. C’est suffisant pour éclairer la pièce. Le soleil monte à plus de 60° l’été (52 à l’ombre, il y a deux années), donc pour se protéger, les fenêtres sont rares et souvent petites. Nous prenons place, à terre, comme de coutume. (Pas de table, pas de chaise, pas de fauteuil, ici on n’a pas les moyens de s’offrir tout cela) Et rapidement, arrivant de dehors, (la cuisine est souvent située dansces maisons en terre, dans une pièce attenante, domaine des femmes) une personne âgée, sa femme et deux jeunes filles, deux de ses enfants encore à la maison. Elles nous apportent le thé à la menthe traditionnel, accompagné de pain, d’huile d’olive, de confiture, de gaufres paysannes, de lait et même des œufs cuits dûrs…….. un accueil traditionnel au Maroc, que ce soit à la ville ou à la campagne.

    Les femmes se retirèrent et Brahim parle avec son père, en Arabe et en Berbère, traduisant de temps à autre certains passages de la conversation. Nous en arrivons à ce qui nous intéresse, la description de ce que Mohamed a observé. Replacer dans le temps ce fait n’est pas évident, c’était avant la naissance de Brahim, 1er point. Se référer à des éléments de l’actualité, c’est impossible, ici le temps s’écoulait à cette époque au fils des saisons, sans que la radio ni la télévision ne viennent perturber la vie paisible de cette famille. On peut au mieux replacer l’évènement vers 1967 – 1969 et au printemps, Mohamed se rappelle qu’il s’apprêtait à ramasser le blé (ici la récolte se fait en fin avril et en mai).

    UN OBJET MATÉRIEL AU SOL

    image: http://sciences-fictions-histoires.com/medias/images/reconstitution1.jpg?fx=r_550_550
    reconstitution1.jpg

    Il s’était couché la veille de son observation un peu après la tombée de la nuit ( pas d’électricité à cette époque, on vit ici au rythme du levé et du coucher du soleil) , après sa journée de travail dans les champs, à surveiller les moutons et les animaux qui ici son quasiment en liberté, allant et venant entre un petit enclos attenant à la maison, fait de pierres et de terre et la campagne environnante. Il s’était allongé dans la pièce où nous étions, sur les tapis avec sa femme. Les enfants, quant à eux dorment dans une autre pièce, sur les nattes posées à même la terre. Déjà à cette époque, Mohamed avait des chiens, deux semble t’il se rappeler. Ils dorment dans l’enclos dont les murs sont utilisés sur deux côtés pour les pièces composant l’habitation et la bergerie.

    Vers 2 h 00 du matin, les chiens aboient longuement, ce qui réveille Mohamed. Comme les chiens persistent à aboyer, il se lève et sort dans la cours. Ils tentent de rassurer les chiens car il ne voit rien d’anormal, mais ces derniers continuent à aboyer, tout en courant sans cesse et rapidement dans le patio.

    Devant cette insistance Mohamed se dirige vers la porte qui donne sur la piste. Il sort, fait quelques mètres à droite, puis à gauche, il observe. Rien d’anormal. Les chiens ont-ils vu un chat, un autre animal sauvage, c’est sa conclusion et il rentre dans la cour, tentant de calmer les chiens. Ils se taisent durant quelques minutes, mais une fois que Mohamed est rentré dans la chambre, ils recommencent à aboyer. Mohamed a alors l’idée de regarder par la fenêtre qui donne sur le derrière de la maison, la face opposée à la porte de sortie sur la piste, juste par sécurité, pour vérifier s’il ne voit personne sur ce côté de la maison.

    Là, surprise, la lune éclairant assez bien la campagne (mais ce n’était pas « l’éclairage maximum » de la lune précise-t-il, en conséquence ce n’était pas la pleine lune et on ne voyait donc pas dans les meilleures conditions.) il aperçoit une masse sombre, qui brille légèrement comme si c’était de l’aluminium, mais un aluminium assez sombre, comme s’il avait déjà vieilli. Cette masse était grosse comme « une Fiat familiale », mais toutefois de forme « ronde et allongée ». Je note un maximum d’informations, traduites par Brahim, sur un bloc à l’aide d’un stylo. Je propose à Mohamed de me faire un croquis de l’objet. D’un geste de la main, il me fait comprendre que « non ». Je regarde Brahim qui me dit : « mon père ne sait pas écrire, ni lire et n’a jamais tenu de sa main un stylo. D’ailleurs, dans la maison, il n’y en a pas …. »

    Je dessine alors grossièrement plusieurs formes, entre le rond et l’ovale, y mettant même des « carrés », me souvenant de cas de ce type. Il me désigne alors une forme ovale, relativement allongée, en conséquence plus allongé que l’observation d’un ovni à terre, de forme ovale mais avec une sorte de coupole, un peu comme à Valensole en 1967. Toutefois, tout ceci après plus de 40 années, ne peut être qu’approximatif, Mohamed, n’ayant pas évoqué cette histoire depuis au moins 20 ans, voir plus !

    Et comment s’était-il posé à terre ? Sur des pieds, la masse ovale était-elle directement sur le sol composé ici de terre et de beaucoup de pierre ? Mohamed ne se souvient plus très bien, il réfléchit, il décrit l’objet comme étant à un peu prés 1 m du sol, posé sur une « sorte de tonneau » très sombre. Je traduis cela par un pied central qui ferait la grosseur d’un tonneau de 200 l, ainsi qu’il me confirme, d’un métal (ou autre ?) de couleur sombre, plus sombre que l’objet. Hauteur un mètre environ pour une largeur apparente de 70 cms.

    un-petit-village-maroc-c-g-lebat-c.jpg

    Par comparaison avec un véhicule de type Berline, l’objet ne devait pas avoir une longueur supérieure à 5 m pour une hauteur de 2 m au point central de l’objet. Hauteur estimée et confirmée par le témoin, de la masse ovale, ce qui fait une hauteur maximal de 3 m à partir du sol.)

    En regardant par la fenêtre, je me replace dans les conditions de l’observation, le sol est parsemé de nombreuses pierres, toutefois certains endroits, n’en comporte pas ou peu. La distance : on situe l’objet entre 80 et 120 m de la maison, du champ de vision par la fenêtre. En se replaçant sur les lieux mêmes, le témoin compte tenu de l’ancienneté de l’observation, ne peu situer à 10 ou 20 m près, l’endroit préci ou se trouvait posé l’objet.

    L’objet ne présentait aucune porte, aucun hublot, aucun dôme et était parfaitement ovale, brillant seulement très légèrement. Il se détachait très bien malgré la nuit, car l’horizon est vide, pas ou peu d’arbres ou arbuste, des champs de blé et de légères collines à quelques kilomètre.

    UN PERSONNAGE ÉTRANGE SE DIRIGE VERS L’OBJET

    Ce qui a paru par contre le plus étrange, c’est que se dirigeait vers l’objet, un personnage qu’il assimila à des créatures dont on parle dans le coran, des Djinns qui viennent de l’au-delà, passent, disparaissent comme s’ils devenaient soudainement invisibles. Le personnage avait la grandeur d’un enfant de 15 ans, traduisons, pour ici, un enfant d’un mètre trente environ. Il était « maigre » et se déplaçait sur ses deux jambes. Il avait deux bras qui se balançaient semble-t-il le long du corps et une tête qui lui a parue énorme. Compte tenu de la faible intensité lumineuse, de la nuit, il ne peut détailler plus cet être, pour lui, seulement une silhouette noire qui se déplaçait, venant de notre maison et se dirigeant vers l’objet. Compte tenu de l’apparence de la créature, les vêtements étaient certainement peu épais, voir collants et n’avaient aucun rapport avec un scaphandre, une combinaison de cosmonaute, voir un gros manteau de laine !......

    Il était alors à environ 5 - 6 m de l’objet, lorsqu’il le voit, il avançait en sa direction et une fois arrivé à deux mètres, il l’a alors contourné l’engin par la gauche. Il a alors à ce moment-là disparu derrière l’objet. Sa vitesse de déplacement était d’une allure normale de marche. Il s’attendait à voir apparaître à l’autre extrémité de l’objet, cette créature, mais ce ne fut pas le cas. Il n’avait jamais vu un tel objet, il ne savait pas ce que cela pouvait être, il a pensé à un voleur. Mais l’être ne transportait rien. Les chiens quant à eux continuaient à aboyer.

    Sa femme s’était réveillée, mais ne s’est pas levé dans un premier temps. (La durée de l’observation étant de 2 à 3 minutes, le temps qu’elle émerge, qu’elle comprenne ce que Mohamed voyait, alors qu’il ne s’affolait pas, qu’il ne lui donnait pas de détail sur ce qu’il observait, elle n’a de fait rien vu). Quant aux enfants, pas de bruit, ils devaient dormir d’un profond sommeil. Mohamed, continue à observer, ne comprend pas, mais semble comme paralysé et n’entreprend aucune action. Il est parfaitement conscient, mais reste calme car pour lui aucun danger malgré qu’il n’ait jamais vu un tel engin.

    L’OBJET S’ÉLÈVE EN DOUCEUR

    Il y avait au plus 1,5 à 2 minutes que l’être avait disparu derrière l’appareil, que ce dernier se mit à s’élever lentement. On peut supposer que l’être à pénétré dans l’objet par la face opposée. Je lui demande ce qu’est alors advenu du pied sur lequel il reposait : il ne se rappelle plus, mais en l’air, l’objet avait bien une apparence ovale, sans rien en dessous.

    Il s’est élevé ainsi durant quelques secondes, puis s’est arrêté à environ une dizaine de mètres de hauteur. (Imprécision toutefois sur cette hauteur, vu qu’il estime celle-ci à au moins trois maisons (une maison de terre fait au mieux 4 m de haut, ce qui nous donne une douzaine de mètre). L’objet était bien visible, car il se détachait sur le ciel dégagé. Il est resté ainsi immobile durant deux ou trois secondes et il est parti à l’horizontal, avec une élévation toutefois constante, vers le Nord Est, longeant ainsi l’Atlas en direction de l’Ourika. Sa vitesse était relativement rapide, l’objet ayant démarré instantanément à cette vitesse rapide, sans accélérer par la suite. Il a disparu en moins de trois secondes dans la nuit lointaine.

    Cette scène s’est donc déroulée en environ deux minutes, sans qu’a aucun moment, Mohamed ne perçoive aucun bruit, aucun souffle, aucune modification de la chaleur environnante. Le tout s’est déroulé dans un calme parfait et il ne pouvait pas entendre du fait de l’éloignement, les pas de l’être sur le sol. Seul les aboiements des chiens étaient perceptibles, mais pas au point de couvrir un bruit éventuel de l’engin, du fait que ces derniers s’arrêtaient durant quelques secondes. C’est cette situation de calme qui a fait qu’il n’a pas paniqué, qu’il a observé, s’apprêtant toutefois à sortir pour voir la scène de plus près au moment ou l’objet a commencé à s’élever.

    Il donne en deux mots la description de ce qu’il vient de voir, à sa femme, cette dernière est debout, mais ne comprend pas grand-chose à la situation, et il sort, décidé d’aller voir sur le lieu où l’objet s’était posé s’il ne restait pas quelque chose. Mais, il ne trouve rien, il fait sombre toutefois et on ne verrait pas un petit objet de couleur foncé au sol. Après avoir regardé à l’horizon, tout autour de lui, il rentre. Le lendemain matin, il ira ànouveau sur les lieux de l’atterrissage, mais il ne trouve aucune trace, ni même une emprunte. Toutefois, il admet avoir regardé grossièrement, si une emprunte légère dans le sol, sur la poussière, dans la terre était présente, il ne l’aurait pas vue.

    ON EXAMINE LES FAITS

    On examine les possibilités d’identification de cet objet. L’hypothèse de l’hélicoptère est envisagée, mais le fait qu’il n’y avait aucun bruit, à une aussi faible distance, on l’aurait entendu, on l’écarte rapidement. Il est vrai qu’à cette époque-là, Mohamed ne savait pas ce qu’était un hélicoptère, il n’en avait jamais vu. Un engin militaire secret : oui, lequel, nous sommes fin des années 60 et alors construire un tel engin qui n’émet aucun bruit, ce n’était pas réalisable. Nous ne trouvons aucune solution. La ressemblance avec les objets vus à Soccoro où à Valensole est toutefois frappante, c’est l’un des seuls points qu’on peut évoquer.

    Le lendemain matin, la vie de Mohamed a repris, comme par le passé, il n’évoqua même pas cette affaire aux voisins, aux amis... il n’aurait pas su comment leur expliquer cela et on ne l’aurait pas cru… il a encore rêvé, Mohammed... Il n’en parlera qu’à quelques reprises, sans toutefois approfondir comme il l’a fait aujourd’hui avec nous, à certains de ses enfants. Il n’explique quant à lui, toujours pas son observation, il ne sait pas ce que c’était. Cela ne le perturbe pas, s’il a été témoin de cela, c’est grâce à la volonté d’Allah comme il nous répète… Il n’a ressenti aucun effet sur lui-même, pendant ou après l’observation et cela ne lui a causé aucune maladie... Jamais malade, il a toujours travaillé durement, dans ses quelques lopins de terre, qu’il cultive avec son mulet, ses ânes, tout comme il y a des siècles... Il fait encore à son âge chaque jour, de nombreux kms à travers la campagne, gardant son petit troupeau de montons. Ici pas de retraite, on travaille jusqu’à la mort et heureusement, lorsqu’ils le peuvent, les enfants aident un peu.

    Déjà 14 h 30, je quitte alors Mohamed et je le remercie bien vivement du témoignage qu’il nous a apporté. Le thé à la menthe, le pain fait ici même, à la maison et tout ce que nous avons mangé fait que nous n’avons vraiment pas faim. Brahim décide de rester ici chez son père, quant moi, je reprends la piste en direction de la Route de Knine à Tahanaout, repensant constamment à cette expérience vécue au fin fond de la campagne pratiquement désertique Marocaine... Je me dis que des cas comme celui-ci, même certainement encore plus étranges, doivent exister en nombre ici au Maroc.

    Ainsi qu’il a été promis, l’anonymat sera conservé, aucune photo prises sur les lieux et nous procédons à un photo montage pour les reconstitutions à partir de photos prises dans la région.

    Many Documented Alien Craft Sightings In Cuba

    (Before It's News)

    MANY DOCUMENTED ALIEN CRAFT SIGHTINGS IN CUBA


    1950’S ……. CUBA

    On March 16, 1950, Captain Miguel Murciano of the Compañía de Aviación Cubana reported having timed the progress of an unknown object over Antilla airport on the island’s eastern edge. The strange object, he said, was traveling at extraordinary speeds at an altitude in excess of five thousand feet “covering eight degrees in sixteen minutes” – a measurement aided by a theodolite. According to Captain Murciano, he first saw the object at ten fifteen a.m. during a routine flight from Santiago de Cuba to Antilla. All crewmembers and passengers saw the object due to the excellent visual conditions, agreeing that whatever it was, it wasn’t an airplane.

    Dr. Sergio Cervera of the Comisión Investigadora de Fenómenos Aéreos (CIFA) compiled a list of significant UFO-related cases in Cuba going as far back as the 1930s. Dr. Cervera’s notes for the year 1952 include a sighting by some fifty witnesses in the village of Candonga, Palma Soriano Municipality, in Oriente Province. A very bright light appeared over the community, remained suspended, and then began zigzagging, engaging in a “cosmic ballet” that mesmerized onlookers for nearly an hour.

    In 1953, Mr. Waldo Martinez, a former lieutenant in the Cuban army, was driving a military jeep toward a hospital in the city of Trinidad when his vehicle’s engine shut down after taking a hairpin curve. It was then he noticed a powerful green light flying past his jeep, landing some 200 meters away. According to the Cervera archives, the object’s lights dimmed as the jeep regained its power and Mr. Martinez and his passengers resumed their journey. This CE-2 included the discovery of a burned circle on the ground, measuring some sixty feet across.

    Researcher Orestes Girbau mentions an unusual event that took place on July 5, 1959 in the Bay of Matanzas on the island of Cuba. A group of Boy Scouts and their troop leaders had gone out on a hike along the coast, setting out from the Versalles district of the city. The time was nine thirty in the morning under clear, sunny skies. The thirty or so people involved had no idea that they would soon be going down in history as part of one of the Caribbean’s most intriguing cases of that decade.

    “Unexpectedly,” writes Girbau in Nuestros Foráneos, “shouts were heard from the scoutmasters, saying: look at that! as the entire formation broke ranks and ran toward the beach. Impressed, they watched an object which, according to the first of that number to see it, had emerged from the sea and was balancing gently only a few meters over the surface. The object was oval-shaped, although some insisted it was shaped like a top and yet others described it as a disk. Seconds later, the glowing disk leveled off, parallel with the sea, and rose straight up at an astonishing rate of speed, vanishing into the blue in less than 15 seconds.”

    Once settled down, the witnesses agreed that the object was metallic in appearance and silver in color. Corroboration for the large group’s experience came from a nearby boat with two fishermen who bemusedly watched the phenomenon. The device, writes Girbau, was wingless and between 20 and 26 feet in diameter, noiseless and lacking any manner of exhaust.

    Are Humans Intelligent In The Grand Scheme Of The Universe

    We humans are an arrogant lot. We trundle throughout our days thinking we are intelligent. We (well most of us) value our perceived intelligence. We look around at our fellow Earthicans and can readily see that we humans are the smartest creatures around.

    But really who are we to say that we are intelligent.

    We define ourselves to be intelligent in ways no other Earth creature can rival. What do we credit that intelligence too? You look at the genome, and take the chimpanzee which is a really close relative of ours. We have 98.5% identical indistinguishable DNA which both humans and chimps have in common. The chimp does not build the Hubble telescope, does not compose symphonies, and does not create iPhones for example. So we must then declare that everything we say about us that is intelligent is found in the 1.5% difference in DNA.

    Now lets invert that question, if the genetic difference between human and chimps is that small, maybe the difference in our intelligence is also that small. Maybe the difference between stacking boxes and reaching for a banana, putting up an umbrella when it rains, or whatever else rudimentary things that a chimp does; that the primatologist rolls them forward and boasts about. Which of course our human toddlers can do. Maybe the difference between that and the Hubble telescope is as small as that difference in DNA.

    I pose the question, suppose an alien intelligence that in that same type of vector of 1.5 % difference as we are to chimps, suppose they were 1.5% different from us.

    They would then roll the smartest of us out in front of their humantologists. They roll out Professor Steven Hawking which is our greatest mind at this time. They would say that this one is slightly smarter then the rest of them because he can perform astrophysics calculations in his head,  like little Gorignac over there.

    I wonder if we are just blithering idiots in the presence of even a trivially smarter species then us? So therefore who are we even to assert that we are intelligent. We look for others at least as intelligent as us in the Universe for us to talk to. There is no other species on earth that we can talk to. Can we have a conversation with a chimp? Even though we share nearly identical DNA? We can’t ask them to go see a movie or go grab some Tapas. Yet somehow we believe, we want to believe that an alien on a another planet that is not even based on DNA (and even if it is it is nothing like us) that we could communicate with it.

    We all have walked passed an earthworm that has just come to the surface, have you ever though about what the worm was thinking? Of course not , we are so more advanced that it would be a non-sequitur. Any alien race that can traverse the endless void of space and time and travels here may not have any interest in communicating with us. May not even perceive us as a life form at all. We may not even be able to perceive them as intelligent as well.

    I propose it could be no other way.

    Any life that advanced to get here will see us no more advanced as we think of earthworms, or even less. The human created fantasy that they are infiltrating our politics, ars are truly in the special Olympics category of intergalactic intelligence’s. We are just hairless apes dreaming of superiority. We are no where near the top of the intelligentsia food chain. We have not yet begun to climb the rungs of intelligence.

    I will never ask you dear reader to believe anything, it will only ever be about how compelling the evidence is to you.

    Science is the poetry of reality. Peace.
