Shapeshifting UFO Appears In London
Shapeshifting UFO Appears In London
A British witness reported seeing and recording a dark object crossing the sky above London that changed directions, slowed down, hovered at times, and seemed to change in shape. The event took place at 2:55 p.m. on July 5, 2015, in London while the witness was sitting outside in the garden enjoying a cup of tea.
The witness said that he was watching three birds and then noticed another flying one in dark shape. The fourth one was not moving in a similar manner as the other three birds.
The witness started recording the object using a mobile phone for around two minutes. Then decided to get into a room to get a DSLR camera. He put the lens on a 50-300mm telephoto lens and went back to the garden.
He took several photos at full zoom, but the first 5 or 6 were over exposed. He failed to check the first set of images, perhaps because of excitement. He adjusted the setting and snapped another two photos at full zoom.
After shooting the last picture, the object disappeared into the witness line of sight. In his MUFON report, the witness described the object as a black dot travelling at regular speed on an erratic course. He also noticed in the video that the object changed direction many times, seemed to slow down, and hovered at other occasions.
The witness reviewed the photos and zoomed in to get a better look. In one image, the object seems stereotypical flying saucer with a lighter circle marking on it. In other photos, the object appears in an entirely different shape.
The case was reported on July 9, 2015, to MUFON and field investigator Jack Turnbull closed it as unknown after investigating it.
A witness from Yuba City in California reported seeing a triangle-shaped UFO and catching it in two photos while feeling uneasy to be in that location.
The witness went to Boyd’s pump to photograph a thunderstorm and lightning. When he ran out of space on an SD card, he went back to his home and transferred the photos to a laptop. After clearing the SD card, he went back to the same location to take more photos.
But, he felt uneasy this time. He got a weird feeling like he wanted to leave. It was quite intense for him, and he felt scared, but he was not sure the reason. When he got home, he transferred the second set of photos to the computer and noticed two different photos that captured a strange and mysterious object.
He saw a yellowish colored light with an odd shape that seemed to be shooting out of a cloud. When he zoomed in on the object, he noticed a triangle shape with a circle and marking that looked like a face on the bottom of it. He found it weird so he reported to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). His testimony is filed in the witness reporting database, Case 71166.
California MUFON investigator John Fegel investigated the case and closed it as Unknown.

A group of scientists and academics from around the world has launched a new effort called UFODATA, which stands for UFO Detection and Tracking, to apply some rigorous scientific research to the study of UFOs. This all-volunteer, nonprofit project that includes scientists from the United States, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Chile intends to use scientific data and research methods to advance an issue that has largely been confined to the margins (at best) of the traditional scientific community.
"It's abundantly clear that we're not going to make progress in understanding whatever is causing the unknown UFO reports and sightings without getting the type of data we want to collect," says Mark Rodeghier, scientific director and president of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies in Chicago, and now a UFODATA board member. "More witness testimony, where they fill out a form and tell you what they saw, is not going to help us solve the problem," he says. The problem that Rodeghier is referring to is the frequent, inexplicable sightings of aerial phenomena.
The group of about 15 scientists, engineers, astronomers, professors, and a journalist intend to install a series of automated surveillance stations loaded with scientific research tools at various locations in known UFO hotspots such as those in the western United States and in Hessdalen, Norway. The stations will be used to photograph unidentified objects and analyze the light coming from them in order to learn more about the sources of energy powering them. People have done this sort of thing in the past, but never before in such a coordinated and scientifically rigorous way.
The sensors that the group hopes to build will include several high-resolution cameras fitted with spectrographic grating, which is a method for analyzing thetype of light the camera is seeing, and the ways that energy might be affecting the atmosphere around the light source. Here is a video explaining the process. Other equipment includes a magnetometer, used to measure electromagnetic radiation, as well as a Geiger counter and a weather station.
"In this area of science (physics, astronomy, etc.) the best way to learn about something is to get its spectra," Rodeghier says. He compares it to a rainbow, which is a "spectra" of the sun's light. "You can see the elements it's composed of, you can also tell things about its temperature and pressure. There are many, many things that you can learn from a spectra and associated data."
These sensors aren't cheap. Each one will cost between $10,000 and $20,000, the group says, which they're hoping to raise through crowdfunding and other donations.
"UFODATA will rely on crowd funding to finance the stations, allowing the millions of people who take UFOs seriously to be involved in the effort, independent of the scientific establishment," wrote Leslie Kean, an American journalist and the author of UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record. After covering the issue for years, she's also now a board member for UFODATA. Kean announced the project on her Huffington Post blog earlier this week.
The all-volunteer group hopes to raise enough money to build one prototype station, test it, and prove the concept. Next year they plan to raise additional funds, Rodeghier says, after the project is better known and a more robust volunteer staff is in place.
Rodeghier says more reliable and scientific data will not only advance understanding of UFOs, but might also serve to persuade the public at large that this issue merits more serious examination.Nonetheless, the organizers appreciate that "the UFO community and the UFO problem is something that is pretty much looked down upon by what I call the establishment," Rodeghier says. "That includes scientists, big media, and politicians, Washington. All those people—and I'm speaking broadly because there's always exceptions—think the UFO problem, they laugh at it, it's to be ridiculed, and certainly shouldn't be supported and funded. And so yes, this is part of an effort, is to say, 'This problem is serious. It's like any other scientific problem.'"
But even the new organization has had to grapple internally with the taboo of scientific discussion of UFOs. The initial UFODATA team includes four "silent advisors"—two full professors, an attorney, and an astronomer—who "are prepared to lend a hand, but because of the cultural stigma attached to UFOs—or because of a personal preference for anonymity—have chosen to keep their involvement private" according to the group's website.
Are we the aliens who others will discover one day?
Scientist Researchers Peter Behroozi and Molly Peeples, both of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, have suggested Earth-like planets are let to develop.
But when they do, humans will be seen as the aliens in the galaxy that a new extra-terrestrial species from another world will seek out.
The scientists looked at data from the Kepler and Hubble space telescopes to estimate Earth’s position on the timeline of habitable world evolution.
Although star formation has slowed down across the universe, and the amount of gas needed to form new stars in our galaxy the Milky Way is depleted, there is ample left out there.
The two calculated only 8% of potentially life-bearing worlds had formed at the same time or before Earth, meaning there is scope for the other 92% to develop.
GETTY
Earth may be one of the most advanced planets
GETTY
Are we alone? Scientists think it is possible at moment
Our main motivation was understanding the Earth’s place in the context of the rest of the universe. Compared to all the planets that will ever form in the universe, the Earth is actually quite early.
Scientist Researchers Peter Behroozi
The theoretical study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has concluded it is quite possible after all that "we ARE alone", at the moment.
The duo discovered that outside the Milky Way most other galaxy systems have enough star making material for new solar systems to keep forming for an extremely long time even in cosmic terms.

‘WTF': Mysterieus ruimteobject stevent af op de aarde
‘WTF': Mysterieus ruimteobject stevent af op de aarde
Een mysterieus stuk ruimtepuin zal op 13 november inslaan op aarde. Wetenschappers weten niet precies wat het is, maar vermoeden dat het door mensen is gemaakt. Het object heeft de naam WT1190F (kortweg WTF) gekregen.
Het object zal volgens NASA neerkomen in de Indische Oceaan, ongeveer 65 kilometer van het zuidelijkste puntje van Sri Lanka.
Het stuk ruimtepuin is ontdekt door de Universiteit van Tucson. Onderzoekers stonden in eerste instantie voor een raadsel. Pas toen astronomen het archief doorzochten, bleek dat het object ook in 2012 is waargenomen.
WTF? A newly discovered piece of space junk aptly named WT1190F will plunge to earth in Nov http://ow.ly/TPIpN
Ze berekenden vervolgens de omloopbaan van het stuk ruimtepuin en kwamen tot de conclusie dat het waarschijnlijk gaat om een door mensen gemaakt object. “Dit museumstuk komt terug om ons schrik aan te jagen,” vertelde Jonathan McDowell van het Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics aan Nature.
Astrofysici menen dat het object zelfs afkomstig zou kunnen zijn van één van de Apollomissies. Misschien gaan we er nooit achter komen wat het was, aangezien WT1190F grotendeels in de atmosfeer zal verbranden en vervolgens zal neerplonzen in zee.
Verschillende laboratoria gaan het stuk ruimteschroot de komende dagen volgen. Er draaien nog 86 andere onbekende objecten rond de aarde. Voor het grootste deel gaat het om maansondes of onderdelen van raketten. Er zwerven ook tientallen kunstmatige objecten door de ruimte, waarvan er ongeveer 20 vanaf de aarde worden gevolgd.
Steeds meer aanwijzingen buitenaardse basis Baikalmeer, Rusland ( VIDEO )
Steeds meer aanwijzingen buitenaardse basis Baikalmeer, Rusland ( VIDEO )
De omgeving van het Baikalmeer gelegen in het verre Russische Siberië is een plek die met recht een UFO “hotspot” genoemd kan worden.
Er zijn talloze getuigen die een bemanning in gele pakken zagen verschijnen uit een geland ruimtevaartuig en zelfs filmmaker Steven Spielberg (ET) schijnt geïnteresseerd te zijn.
Als je als buitenaardsen actief bent op aarde met diverse zaken en je wilt zo min mogelijk opvallen dan doe je dit op locaties waar je niet zo gek veel mensen tegenkomt.
Een dergelijke locatie, naast bijvoorbeeld de Zuidpool, is de omgeving van de stad Oelan-Oede, gelegen in de uitgestrekte Siberische velden.
Oelan-Oede is een stad in Rusland, gelegen op 150 kilometer ten oosten van het Baikalmeer in Oost-Siberië. De stad ligt aan de rivier de Oeda, nabij de monding in de Selenga. Het is de hoofdstad van de autonome republiek Boerjatië en de op twee na grootste stad in Oost-Siberië. Oelan-Oede is een verkeersknooppunt aan de Trans-Siberische en Trans-Mongolische spoorlijn. Het huisvest een vliegtuig- en helikopterfabrikant. Tot 1934 heette de stad Verchneoedinsk.
Inwoners van deze stad zagen kortgeleden een wel heel vreemde verschijning boven hun stad zoals te zien op de volgende foto.
Als het vreemd uitziende object iets wordt uitvergroot dan wordt zichtbaar dat erboven twee kleinere UFO’s of orbs vliegen.
De schrik zit er goed in bij de inwoners van Oelan-Oede. Naast bovengenoemde waarneming gonst het op de sociale media van de berichten van mensen die ook vreemde dingen hebben gezien.
Zo was er een vrouw die met haar kind op straat liep en opeens een gloeiend object ontwaarde in de lucht boven haar. “Iets” met veel groene lichten en enkele rode en blauwe.
Ze stond samen met haar zoon en nog enkele mannen die toevallig langskwamen te kijken naar het mysterieuze object dat ineens verdween en toen weer zichtbaar werd, vlakbij. Volgens de vrouw maakte het een geluid zoals de motor van een auto.
"Eerst zeiden de mannen dat het een drone of iets dergelijks was. Toen bleef het vlak boven onze hoofden hangen en zagen wij een hele grote schotel met in het midden groene lichten. De mannen die eerst zeiden dat het een drone was waren inmiddels weggevlucht en hadden zich in een gebouw verborgen. Mijn zoon werd bang, greep mijn hand en wij renden weg. Ik had nooit gedacht dat zoiets echt kon bestaan”.
De omgeving rond het Baikalmeer is altijd al een zogenaamde UFO hotspot geweest. Een van de meest opvallende gebeurtenissen in die buurt vond plaats op 17 april 1987 in het plaatsje Kurma.
Een inwoner van het dorp Valery Rudentsov vertelt wat er gebeurde:
“We waren met 13 man. Rond ongeveer half één ’s nachts ging een van de jongens naar buiten de tuin in. Enkele seconden later roept hij ons om naar buiten te komen. Hij stond middenin de tuin en wees met zijn vinger naar de lucht”.
“Ongeveer 150 meter boven ons hing een geweldig grote vliegende schotel. Vanuit het centrum van de schotel kwam een soort paarsachtige lichtgevende straal. Aan de rand ervan kon je kleine patrijspoorten zien. De doorsnee van de schotel was ongeveer 70 meter”.
“We zagen het daar een hele tijd hangen en het leek zo dichtbij dat iemand voorstelde om het met stenen te gaan bekogelen”.
“Het weer was uitzonderlijk kalm, er kwam geen geluid van de schotel. Het was een raar soort stilte, terwijl we achter ons een hond in het dorp konden horen blaffen. We stonden als aan de grond genageld”.
“Het was volle maan en het zicht was zo goed dat niemand twijfelde aan wat wij daar zagen. Toen gleed de schotel als het ware weg van ons en verdween verderop in de heuvels. Nog nooit heb ik zoiets in mijn hele leven gezien”.
Het werd enkele jaren later op 16 mei 1990 nog vreemder in het dorp Kudara-Somon. Een inwoner van het dorp, Olga Federova, kan zich heel goed herinneren wat er gebeurde die dag.
“Op een gegeven moment werd alles geel. Mijn dochter kwam net thuis uit school en toen ik naar haar keek zag ik dat ook haar gezicht geel was”.
Volgens de dorpelingen was het mysterie vervolgens snel opgelost want klaarblijkelijk was er een UFO geland. De bewoners omschrijven het als iets dat een diameter had van ongeveer 30 meter en fel glansde alhoewel ze geen metaal als zodanig konden ontdekken.
Volgens een andere bewoner Margarita Tsybikova: “Er kwamen mensachtige figuren uit de schotel in glimmende pakken. Ze zagen eruit als mensen voor zover ik mij kan herinneren. Drie mensen in glimmende gele pakken. Ze leken echt op gewone mensen”.
Een andere dame uit het dorp Marina Zimireva is het daar grotendeels mee eens: “Voor mij was duidelijk dat we hier met mensen te maken hadden. Ze zagen er in ieder geval uit als mensen. Ze waren slank en ze hadden armen en benen. En ze liepen net zoals wij doen. Ze lieten ook voetsporen achter want die kon je later zien.”
Toen de vreemde wezens in de gaten kregen dat de mensen naar hen keken, gingen ze snel terug naar het ruimteschip en vertrokken.
Zo kun je in die regio het ene na het andere interessante verhaal horen. Iemand die dat ook heeft gehoord is Steven Spielberg. Naar verluid zou hij overwegen om een documentaire te maken over vreemde dingen die gebeuren rondom het Baikalmeer.
Een meer overigens waar op beelden gemaakt door satellieten soms vreemde cirkels vertonen in de sneeuw en het ijs van het meer.
Wanneer je daar rondrijdt, kan het dat je zomaar vreemde dingen in de lucht ziet vliegen zoals dat een aantal Russische mensen een aantal jaren geleden overkwam die onderstaande video maakten.
This unusual UFO was found by Streetcap1 of Youtube. It shows not one ship, but a large ship with a fleet of smaller ones near it. This photo comes when NASA announces that there is an unknown object near us about to hit Earth this week. They say its hollow and colder shaped and not natural. I do see a tube shaped UFO that NASA describes near it. This may be the UFO NASA is talking about. Strangely enough, NASA calls the UFO WT1190F or in other words...WTF. It hits us on Nov 14, 2015 at 2:20 PM. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: Object appears to be quite close to the camera. I turned this to see what it looked like from different angles - this seemed to be the right way up, but it could be upside down for all I know.

First Hand Dulce, New Mexico’s UFO Testimonials Makes An Amazing Story
First Hand Dulce, New Mexico’s UFO Testimonials Makes An Amazing Story
If you have been looking at documentaries on space aliens lately, UFO occurrence, space aliens, and film-making technology are interesting. It is an interesting topic when you are a believer or not that extraterrestrial life visited this planet. However, it will be possible these extraterrestrials are not severely hostile, but they are just overly interested in learning us human beings, and the life we know, in general, so we perceive them to be intruders, especially when you think of alien abductions and unusual implants and cattle mutilations. Dulce, New Mexico may be a place, but lately, it seems, the description is not conclusive. This was being reported by a person who is interested in knowing the realities taking place in human life. The person was fortunate to meet the Arden Tafoya family, and on the second day, he learned that New Mexico is a place where residents became a witness to different strange sightings. Arden is the son of Raleigh Tafoya, who happens to be a highly respected Police Chief of Dulce.
The persons reiterated the report from his wife’s friend whereby a silent and massive delta-shaped object that is capable of emitting bright lights is seen passing in a group of 50 to 75 people when they celebrate Jicarilla Apache. This celebration is for young boys and girls. After sundown, the massive object appeared an hour or so after their traditional meals had ended and after the shamans had finished their dances and chantings. Another event recounted was during the daytime when a saucer-shaped hat possesses a silver object was being seen at around 11 a.m. However, the biggest and most impressive sighting occur in May of 2004 when families were celebrating the feast on a Jicarilla Apache campground, situated in a place near J-33 and J-40.
With regards to the witness’s conclusion to all sightings in Dulce, they are implausible because they were from first-hand eyewitnesses to the events.
Researchers Expect A UFO To Crash On Earth In November
Researchers Expect A UFO To Crash On Earth In November
Researchers expect a piece of space junk to plummet towards Earth in November, but they don’t have any idea of what is that exactly.
The space object called WTF1190F, is expected to land in the Indian Ocean, approximately 40 miles off the southern tip of Sri Lanka on November 13 at 6:20 UTC.
It could measure up to 7ft long. It comes from either a recent lunar mission or an Apollo program craft that has remained in space for over 40 years.
The object is expected to provide relatively small impact throughout its course until landing. Rather than threatening life on Earth, the object will offer scientists a once in a lifetime opportunity to observe the unknown object.
The trajectory of WTF1190F was first calculated in 2012. University of Arizona-based Catalina Sky Survey astronomers rediscovered the unknown object earlier this month.
Near Earth Object astronomers at the European Space Agency (ESA) are carefully monitoring the space junk’s path.
According to ESA, the object poses very little risk to people, but could greatly help scientists improve their understanding of how any object, be it natural or man-made, interacts with the atmosphere of Earth.
Independent astronomy software developer, Bill Gray, said that the space junk was moving in an elliptical orbit. Based on its movement, the object is likely hollow inside. The number of space junk that orbit the Earth and moon is unknown, but WT1190F is uncommon.
Gareth Williams, a Minor Planet Centre’s astronomer in Cambridge, said that the strange object was thought to be one of only around 20 man-made objects tracked in distant orbit. And the reason the object propelled on a collision course with Earth is still a mystery.
Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell of Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics based in Cambridge, Massachusetts said that WTF1190F is likely a piece of space history. While the junk is probably coming from recent missions, it can also be a piece from an Apollo Mission more than four decades ago.
If WTF1190F is a piece of man-made rocket, it will be first man-made junk to return Earth independently.

5 Things That Would Happen If We Ever Found Intelligent Alien Life
5 Things That Would Happen If We Ever Found Intelligent Alien Life
The search for extraterrestrial life has been in the public consciousness for decades, but what would happen if we actually succeeded? Later this month, a NASA-funded initiative called the 100-Year Starship Project (100YSS), which is dedicated to achieving interstellar travel within the next century, will hold its annual symposium, which will specifically discuss the aim of finding "Earth 2.0," including what would happen to society if we ever actually found an Earth-like planet with an alien civilization.
"What would happen if we could identify it [as Earth 2.0]? How does that change us?" asked Mae Jemison, a former NASA astronaut and the principal for 100YSS, in a piece for The Atlantic.
Strict protocols would come into play
In 1997, SETI infamously had a false alarm that they found intelligent alien life, which was immediately picked up by the New York Times and blown completely out of proportion. After that incident, SETI created specific protocols for astronomers who believe that they have discovered alien life, in order to ensure that the information is properly verified and disseminated to the public through controlled channels.
First, the astronomers are supposed to verify to the best of their ability that the signals are not coming from any natural phenomenon, and then have it verified independently by someone outside of SETI. They should then inform astronomers in other nations, as well as the Secretary General of the UN, so the information can be dispersed through scientific and accredited public media outlets.
Someone would ruin the surprise on Twitter
But this is the 21st century, so the astronomers admit that none of these protocols would ultimately be followed. They would try, of course, but in the age of information, it would inevitably leak before it had been verified and released in a controlled manner. Blogs, Twitter, Reddit, and every other unofficial news authority would pick up on the story way earlier than intended. SETI director Seth Shostak said of the premature 1997 NYT leak, "There is no secrecy in SETI," and there is even less privacy now.
"The protocols are as much fiction, in some sense, as the movie portrayals. The story will break in a very messy way," said Shostak. "I don't think there's any way to control the media."
It would break the Internet
And once the news broke, it would spread like wildfire. We would probably all have trouble getting on social media that day, but no one would experience more technical issues than the SETI Institute. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as once the information is verified, SETI very much wants it to be widely known:
"You want that information to be as widespread as possible," said former SETI director Jill Tarter. "If we were to make a discovery at the SETI institute, I don't think there's any way we could keep our website up or our phones working from the onslaught of people trying to get information."
The public reaction would closely mimic the movie Contact
Would the public be open to the discovery of alien life, or would they be fearful of an alien invasion? Paul Ziolo, a professor of psychology at the University of Liverpool and a regular presenter at the 100YSS symposiums, specifically cited the film Contact, which was partially inspired by Tartar's life and career, as a realistic portrayal of the disparate public reactions to such a discovery.
"It's a massive range from paranoia to jubilation to despair," Ziolo said. "For some people, anything from outside is going to threaten power structures. For others, it's the gods they've been waiting for."
We would have a reason to believe in the longevity of human civilization
While the public reactions would vary, scientists would likely be optimistic about confirmed signals from an advanced civilizations, as it would give them more hope for the future of humanity:
"If we succeed at detecting another technological civilization, that success helps tell us that on average, technological civilizations can survive for a long time," said Tartar. "The very act of success [in hearing from another planet] tells us that we can have a long future. I think that's the most amazing impact that contact would have, even if we never figure out how to interpret whatever information we receive."
Halloween Asteroïde rakelings langs aarde ( VIDEO )
Halloween Asteroïde rakelings langs aarde ( VIDEO )
Volgens een professor van de New York University bevinden wij ons toch niet in zo’n veilige periode voor wat betreft asteroïden als dat eerst werd gedacht.
Een vreemde verstoring in de Oort Wolk is ervoor verantwoordelijk dat er juist in deze periode een regen van asteroïden en kometen onze kant op komt.
Iets waar wij al jaren over schrijven, blijkt nu ineens een hot topic onder wetenschappers en dat is dat er meer en meer asteroïden onze kant op komen en ze steeds dichterbij de aarde langs scheren.
Zo ook aankomende week een asteroïde die met Halloween (31 oktober) vlak langs de aarde scheert.
Een volgens de NASA 'spookachtige' meteoriet scheert naar verwachting tijdens Halloween rakelings langs de aarde. De enorme asteroïde werd onlangs ontdekt door astronomen.
Volgens de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie is er sinds 2006 geen asteroïde zo dicht bij onze planeet in de buurt geweest. Het gevaarte zal echter nog steeds 499.000 kilometer van ons verwijderd zijn. De asteroïde, die volgens NASA tussen 280 en 620 meter groot is, zal op 31 oktober met een snelheid van 125.528 kilometer per uur aan ons voorbij razen en zal niet met het blote oog zichtbaar zijn. Wie een telescoop heeft zal de meteoroïde wel kunnen zien.
Volgens recente onderzoeken door wetenschappers verkeert onze planeet in veel groter gevaar dan oorspronkelijk werd gedacht.
In deze onderzoeken hebben ze vastgesteld dat wij cycli meemaken van 26 miljoen jaar waarbij de aarde wordt gebombardeerd door asteroïden en dat deze gebeurtenissen overeenkomen met massauitroeïngen gedurende de afgelopen 260 miljoen jaar.
Deze catastrofale gebeurtenissen worden gelinkt aan de bewegingen van de zon met bijbehorende planeten door een bepaald gebied van de Melkweg.
In de onderstaande grafiek is te zien dat de inslagen van meteorieten de afgelopen 260 miljoen jaar overeenkomen met de massauitroeiïngsmomenten die de aarde heeft gekend. De pijlen geven die aan op tijdlijn.
Volgens wetenschappers is een verstoring in de Oort Wolk verantwoordelijk voor een periodieke regen van kometen en asteroïden in het gebied waarin wij als aarde bivakkeren.
Waar wetenschappers echter toch wel verbaasd over zijn is dat de laatste keer dat wij een catastrofale regen van asteroïden meemaakten ongeveer 11 miljoen jaar geleden was. Waaruit dan zou moeten volgen dat wij ons nu in een veilige periode zouden moeten bevinden.
Dt schijnt nu toch niet het geval te zijn volgens de geoloog professor Michael Rampino. Er is, zo zegt hij, bewijs dat er de laatste paar miljoen jaar een ongewoon hoge activiteit van kometen is geweest en dat de omloopbaan van sommigen wordt verstoord.
De professor van de New York University wijt deze verstoringen aan zwarte materie; waarschijnlijk omdat hij niets anders kan bedenken.
Dus, we hebben bewijs door onderzoek dat massauitroeiïngen meestal hebben plaatsgevonden door inslagen van meteorieten zoals dat gebeurde aan de Mexicaanse kust bij Yucatan zo’n 65 miljoen jaar geleden. Een inslag waarvan men zegt dat deze onder andere verantwoordelijk is voor het uitsterven van de dinosaurus.
Daarnaast hebben we het bewezen feit, dat ondanks dat we in een veilige periode zouden moeten zitten gezien het verleden, dit toch niet het geval is vanwege “een verstoring”. In de buurt van de Oortwolk, toevallig dezelfde plek waar eenaantal Spaanse astronomen enkele jaren geleden claimden een zogenaamde bruine dwergplaneet te hebben ontdekt.
Uiteraard wordt dat niet genoemd door professor Rampino als mogelijke oorzaak van de verstoringen rond de Oort Wolk.
Ondertussen is het enige dat wij zelf kunnen doen het NASA advies opvolgen en bidden dat de Halloween asteroïde niet op het laatste moment van gedachten verandert en besluit de aarde met een bezoek te vereren.

The International Space Station (ISS) is the most complex international scientific and engineering project in history and the largest structure humans have ever put into space. This high-flying satellite is a laboratory for new technologies and an observation platform for astronomical, environmental and geological research. As a permanently occupied outpost in outer space, it serves as a stepping-stone for further space exploration.
The station flies at an average altitude of 248 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth. It circles the globe every 90 minutes at a speed of about 17,500 mph (28,000 kph). In one day, the station travels about the distance it would take to go from Earth to the moon and back. The space station can rival the brilliant planet Venus in brightness and appears as a bright moving light across the night sky. It can be seen from Earth without the use of a telescope by night sky observers who know when and where to look. The ISS AstroViewer website tracks the orbit of the space station in real time.
Starting in 2015, changes to the ISS were performed to prepare the complex for commercial spacecraft, which will begin arriving as early as 2017. Two international docking adapters will be added to the station. Additionally, an inflatable module from Bigelow Aerospace is scheduled to arrive in 2015.
Current plans call for the space station to be operated through at least 2020. NASA has requested an extension until 2024, but that proposal was complicated by a deterioration of U.S. relations with Russia in 2014 concerning Russia's military activities in Ukraine. Discussions to extend the space station's lifetime are ongoing among all international partners.
During the space station's major construction phase, some Russian modules and docking ports were launched directly to the orbiting lab, while other NASA and international components (including Russian hardware) were delivered on U.S. space shuttles. [Rare Photos: Space Shuttle at Space Station]
The space station, including its large solar arrays, spans the area of a U.S. football field, including the end zones, and weighs 861,804 lbs. (391,000 kilograms), not including visiting vehicles. The complex now has more livable room than a conventional five-bedroom house, and has two bathrooms, a gymnasium and a 360-degree bay window. Astronauts have also compared the space station's living space to the cabin of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet.
Crew size
A six-person expedition crew typically stays four to six months aboard the ISS. The first space station crews were three-person teams, though after the tragic Columbia shuttle disaster the crew size temporarily dropped to two-person teams. The space station reached its full six-person crew size in 2009 as new modules, laboratories and facilities were brought online.
With a full complement of six crewmembers, the station operates as a full research facility. In recent years, technology such as 3-D printing, autonomous Earth imaging, laser communications and mini-satellite launchers have been added to the station; some are controlled by crewmembers, and some controlled by the ground. Additionally, there are dozens of ongoing investigations looking at the health of astronauts staying on the station for several months. [Related: Weightlessness and Its Effect on Astronauts]
Crews are not only responsible for science, but also for maintaining the station. Sometimes, this requires that they venture on spacewalks to perform repairs. From time to time, these repairs can be urgent — such as when a part of the ammonia system fails, which has happened a couple of times.
Spacewalk safety procedures were changed after a potentially deadly 2013 incident when astronaut Luca Parmitano's helmet filled with water while he was working outside the station. NASA is also testing technology that could supplement or replace astronaut spacewalks. One example is Robonaut. A prototype currently on board the station is able to flip switches and do other routine tasks under supervision, and may be modified at some point to work “outside” as well. [Infographic: Meet Robonaut 2, NASA's Space Droid]
If the crew needs to evacuate the station, they can return to Earth aboard two Russian Soyuz vehicles docked to the ISS. Additional crewmembers are transported to the ISS by Soyuz. Prior to the retirement of NASA's space shuttle fleet in 2011, new space station crewmembers were also ferried to and from the station during shuttle missions. In 2017, NASA expects to replace most Soyuz flights with SpaceX's crewed Dragon spacecraft and Boeing's CST-100.
Crews aboard the ISS are assisted by mission control centers in Houston and Moscow and a payload control center in Huntsville, Ala. Other international mission control centers support the space station from Japan, Canada and Europe. The ISS can also be controlled from mission control centers in Houston or Moscow.

The ISS is slated to host its first one-year crew in 2015-16, with NASA's Scott Kelly and Roscosmos' Mikhail Kornienko. The agencies have expressed interest in running more one-year missions in the future, but have not made a commitment to date.
Facts about the International Space Station
The ISS solar array surface area could cover the U.S. Senate Chamber three times over.
ISS has an internal pressurized volume of 33,023 cubic feet, or equal that of a Boeing 747.
The solar array wingspan (240 feet / 73 meters) is longer than that of a Boeing 777 200/300 model, which is 212 feet (64.6 m).
Fifty-two computers control the systems on the ISS.
More than 115 space flights were conducted on five different types of launch vehicles over the course of the station’s construction.
The ISS is almost four times as large as the Russian space station Mir, and about five times as large as the U.S. Skylab.
Some 3.3 million lines of software code on the ground supports 1.8 million lines of flight software code.
About 8 miles (12.8 km) of wire connects the electrical power system.
In the International Space Station’s U.S. segment alone, 1.5 million lines of flight software code run on 44 computers communicating via 100 data networks transferring 400,000 signals (e.g. pressure or temperature measurements, valve positions, etc.).
Main U.S. control computers have 1.5 gigabytes of total main hard drive storage in the U.S. segment. Modern PCs have about 500-gigabyte hard drives.
The entire 55-foot robot arm assembly is capable of lifting 220,000 lbs., which is the weight of a space shuttle orbiter.
The 75 to 90 kilowatts of power for the ISS is supplied by an acre of solar panels.

SETI’s Telescopes Now Listening In On ‘Star With Alien Megastructure’
SETI’s Telescopes Now Listening In On ‘Star With Alien Megastructure’
The search for signs of life in a mysterious star system has now officially begun, brought on by what appears to be a huge “Alien Megastructure” next to a star!
This has to be one of the most intriguing stories about space for a very long time, in fact its a tad surprising that NASA hasn’t tried stopping this story from getting out into the public domain, unless this is part of the ‘Drip feeding of Disclosure”.
The Astronomers leading with this area of research have already asked SETI for help with their powerful Radio Telescopes, of which they are now already pointing towards the direction of the unusual star. SETI’s Text Allen Telescope Array (ATA), a system of radio dishes about 300 miles (483 kilometres) northeast of San Francisco are now being used to hunt for signals coming from the vicinity of KIC 8462852, a star that lies 1,500 light-years from Earth.
It’s important to remember that When a planet orbits a star, the star’s brightness will usually only dip by about approximately 1 percent, but whatever is passing erratically by KIC 8462852 is causing it to dim by up to 22 percent. Something very, very big is out there, and scientists have offered up everything from a huge mass of comets (NASA like to highlight this idea!) to aliens, as very possible explanations as to what this could be.
All eyes to the sky!
There is clearly no way of confirming at this very moment in time WHAT this huge ‘megastructure’ is but one thing is for sure leading Scientists and Astronomers are taking this VERY seriously! The leading researchers are already on the case, with the announcement that the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) which is an array of 42 radio telescopes which are based in California, US, has already started focussing in on the mysterious star, which is located about 1,500 light-years from Planet Earth. The BIG question is will ‘they’ tell us the truth if they do ever have it confirmed that this could be Alien Technology!? Doubt it.

This all started with NASA’s Kepler space telescope found that the star KIC 8462852 dimmed oddly and dramatically several times over a few years. These ‘dimming events’ were far too significant to be just caused by a lone planet going across the star’s face. Leading researchers say, and other possible explanations, such as an enormous dust cloud, just don’t add up at all.
NASA and other leading agencies have confirmed that they believe that all this is, is a potential swarm of Comets which have possibly been sent careening toward KIC 8462852, possibly after a gravitational jostle by a passing star. But Astronomers have also confirmed that the strange signal Kepler saw had been caused by huge structures built by an Advanced Alien civilization — using their resources to drain/use the stars immense amount of energy.
KIC 8462852 has got SETI very excited and if anything it has brought them back into the ring of discovery. The Alien hunters confirmed:
“We are looking at it with the Allen Telescope Array,” said Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute in Mountain View, California.”
“No problem with that; I think we ought to, for sure,” Shostak told Space.com. But, he added, people “should perhaps moderate their enthusiasm with the lessons of history”
Back in the 1960s, when the first pulsar signals (fast-spinning, superdense stellar corpses that emit beams of high-energy radiation) were discovered, some leading scientists at the time interpreted them as possible alien transmissions being sent across space!
“So history suggests we’re going to find an explanation for this that doesn’t involve Klingons, if you will,” Shostak said of the KIC 8462852 mystery”
“But until such an explanation is found, the intelligent-aliens hypothesis will still be on the table, even if the ATA and other instruments like it come up empty. The lack of a detectable signal, after all, does not establish that KIC 8462852 is a lifeless system” said Seth Shostak.
Shostak then went on to say:
“It almost doesn’t matter where you point your telescope, because there are planets everywhere,” Shostak said. “If there’s somebody out there, there are going to be so many of them out there that I do think there’s a chance”
Could this huge megastructure by a Dyson Sphere left by an advanced Alien Civilisation?
U.I.P SUMMARY– Whilst writing this post it has been confirmed that Scientists are VERY close to confirming whether this is some kind of massive Alien Structure which is being used by Alien Beings, or perhaps beings that have once been and gone – lets not forget that this star may support lifeforms that do not emit signals we can pick up. Or it could be that this may once have hosted a civilization that has since gone extinct, leaving the strange megastructure as a sort of eerie HUGE monument.
But the big question is if they do discover that this is an Alien structure of some sort will they actually confirm this with us straight away? Of course they wont, that is the simple answer to this question. It is clear though that this is a rather exciting find. Something us guys have noticed is NASA’s ‘silence’ throughout this, as if they are non-committal as to what this could be, if anything SETI appear to be the ones in control with this – which speaks volumes about what they believe this could very well be!
Who knows perhaps this structure is used to fire out the ET’s into deep space, possibly even reaching us!?
A stunning Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) report on Prime Minister Medvedev’s agenda at the World Economic Forum (WEF) this week states that Russia will warn President Obama that the “time has come” for the world to know the truth about aliens, and if the United States won’t participate in the announcement, the Kremlin will do so on its own.
The WEF (The Forum) is a Swiss non-profit foundation, based in Cologny, Geneva and describes itself as an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.
The Forum is best known for its annual meeting in Davos, a mountain resort in Graubünden, in the eastern Alps region of Switzerland. The meeting brings together some 2,500 top business leaders, international political leaders, selected intellectuals and journalists to discuss the most pressing issues facing the world, including health and the environment.
Medvedev is scheduled to open this years Forum where as many as 50 heads of government, including Germany’s Angela Merkel and Britain’s David Cameron, will attend the five-day meeting that begins on 23 January.
Critical to note about this years Forum is that the WEF, in their 2013 Executive Summary, scheduled for debate and discussion a number of items under their X Factors from Nature category, and which includes the “discovery of alien life” of which they state: “Proof of life elsewhere in the universe could have profound psychological implications for human belief systems.”
Equally critical to note is that Medvedev, after completing a 7 December 2012 on-camera interview with reporters in Moscow, continued to respond to reporters and made some off-air comments without realizing that his microphone was still on. He was then asked by one reporter if “the president is handed secret files on aliens when he receives the briefcase needed to activate Russia’s nuclear arsenal,” Medvedev responded:
“Along with the briefcase with nuclear codes, the president of the country is given a special ‘top secret’ folder. This folder in its entirety contains information about aliens who visited our planet… Along with this, you are given a report of the absolutely secret special service that exercises control over aliens on the territory of our country… More detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called Men In Black… I will not tell you how many of them are among us because it may cause panic.”
Western news sources reporting on Medvedev’s shocking reply about aliens stated that he was “joking” as he mentioned the movie Men In Black, which they wrongly assumed was a reference to the 1997 American sci-fi adventure comedy about two top secret agents battling aliens in the US.
Medvedev, however, wasn’t referring to the American movie but was, instead, talking about the famous Russian movie documentary Men In Black which details many UFO and alien anomalies.
Where Western news sources quoted Medvedev as saying “More detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called ‘Men In Black,’” his actual answer was, “You can receive more detailed information having watched the documentary film of the same name.”
The reason(s) for Western propaganda news outlets deliberately distorting Medvedev’s words become apparent after his shocking statement, and as evidenced in just one example of their so called reporting on this disclosure of alien life already being on our planet where the title of one such article was “Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev makes a crack about aliens, and conspiracists promptly lose their minds.”
If anyone is “losing their minds” about aliens, it must be pointed out, it is certainly not Russia, but the Vatican, which in November 2009 announced it was “preparing for extraterrestrial disclosure”.
Equally, and apparently, “losing their minds” are US government officials themselves, such as former Pentagon consultant Timothy Good, and author of Above Top Secret: The Worldwide U.F.O. Cover-Up, who in February 2012 stated that former President Dwight Eisenhower had three secret meetings with aliens who were ‘Nordic’ in appearance and wherein a ‘Pact’ was signed to keep their agenda on Earth secret.
With the recent discovery in the Russian city of Vladivostok of a 300-million-year-old UFO tooth-wheel, and scientists, astronauts and YouTube users reporting increasingly strange happenings on the moon, the European Space agency reporting their discovery of a 1,000 ancient river on Mars, and UK and Sri Lanka scientists saying they now have “rock solid proof of alien life” after finding fossilized algae inside meteorite, the only ones who seem to be truly “losing their minds” are the Western, especially American, propagandists who for decades have covered up one of the most important stories in all of human history that “we are not alone.”
A retired police officer is appealing for fresh witnesses to come forward to help with a new book attempting to unravel the mysterious Rendlesham UFO incident.
Rendlesham Forest where the 1980 UFO sightings took place.
John Hanson is working with retired American air force officer, Colonel Charles Halt – who was deputy base commander of the twin USAF bases at Woodbridge and Bentwaters at the time of the incident in December, 1980 – on the project.
Mr Hanson, who lives in the West Midlands, believes there are still people yet to come forward who may have vital evidence – or who saw strange phenomena which may or may not be connected to the events in Rendlesham Forest.
He said a recent appeal had indeed elicited new memories from people in Suffolk.
He said: “One man from Bury St Edmunds, near the British Corporation Sugar works, told me he and his wife had seen a cone-shaped object, hovering above his front garden in December 1980, which is of interest, as we have other sightings from the Bury St Edmunds locality, not too far away from the same factory.”
Col. Charles Halt (Retired) with John Hanson (left) and David Bryant (centre) in Rendlesham Forest to explain the 1980 UFO sitings.
Mr Hanson, co-author of a series of UFO books entitled Haunted Skies, also wants to contact local former DJ Gary Collins, ex-Pc David King and Pc Brian Creswell, one of the original officers that attended the scene.
He said: “I hope people will get in touch if they saw anything around the time of the incident – or can put me in touch with any of these people – as this forms part of our social history, whatever you may think about such matters, and should be recorded.”
After the 1980 incident, Col Halt prepared a memo to the Ministry of Defence describing “unexplained lights”, and recorded what became known as the Halt Tape – a documented investigation in the forest, during which he saw mysterious lights like those witnessed by airmen Jim Penniston and John Burroughs two nights earlier.
In 2010, Col Halt signed an affidavit claiming the encounter was extraterrestrial and that it had been covered up by the Government.
Anyone who can help should call John Hanson on 0121 445 0340, email johndawn1@sky.com or skype john.hanson108.
The space agency has revealed a reworked color scheme for the Space Launch System heavy-lift booster, removing the paint from one major component, while adding "racing stripes" to another.
The new appearance was rolled out on Thursday (Oct. 22) with the announcement that a critical design review (CDR) had been completed. The review is a milestone toward the Space Launch System's (SLS) first test flight, targeted for 2018. [Photos: NASA's Space Launch System for Deep Space Flights]
"We've nailed down the design of SLS," said Bill Hill, the deputy associate administrator for NASA's development of exploration systems. "We've successfully completed the first round of testing of the rocket's engines and boosters, and all the major components for the first flight are now in production."
Billed as the most powerful launch vehicle ever built, the SLS is NASA's first rocket to be specifically designed to support astronaut-crewed missions beyond low Earth orbit since the Saturn V that launched astronauts to the moon 45 years ago.
And it was with that iconic booster in mind that NASA first represented the SLS with a similar black-and-white motif when it announced the rocket in 2011. Now, the design is exposing its more colorful core.
"The program concluded the core stage of the rocket and launch vehicle stage adapter will remain orange," a NASA statement described, noting orange is "the natural color of the insulation that will cover those elements."
The burnt orange-color foam is the same that was used to insulate the space shuttle's large external fuel tank. Back in 1981, NASA painted the first two of those tanks white to protect against ultraviolet radiation, but chose to forego the coating on subsequent missions to save on the weight of the paint.
The new SLS art also includes stylized orange and gray markings on the vehicle's two side-mounted boosters.
The solid rocket motors are built from the same casings that flew with thespace shuttle, but are now one segment longer (for a total of five) to provide the additional thrust needed to launch the more massive SLS.
The look of the rocket's exterior was just one of the details confirmed by the critical design review (CDR).
The CDR examined the first of three configurations NASA plans for the rocket, referred to as "Block 1." The Block 1 will have a 77-ton (70 metric tons) lift capability powered by the twin boosters and four RS-25 engines, the latter also reused from the space shuttle. The next planned upgrade of SLS, the 1B, uses a more powerful upper stage with a 115-ton (105 metric tons) lift capacity.
The Block 2 SLS will add a pair of advanced solid or liquid propellant boosters to offer a 143-ton (130 metric tons) lift capacity. In each configuration, the SLS will use the same core stage and four RS-25 engines.
"This review gives us confidence that we are on the right track for the first flight of SLS and using it to extend [the] permanent human presence into deep space," said Hill.
Thirteen teams of engineers and aerospace experts took 11 weeks to review more than 1,000 documents and more than 150 gigabytes of data as part of the process.

The CDR was the last of four reviews that examined SLS concepts. The next step is design certification, which will occur in 2017 after manufacturing, integration and testing is complete. The certification will compare the actual final product to the rocket's design.
The final assessment, the flight readiness review, will take place just prior to the rocket being ready to launch.
"This is a major step in the design and readiness of SLS," stated John Honeycutt, SLS program manager. "Our team has worked extremely hard, and we're moving forward with building this rocket. We are qualifying hardware, building structural test articles and making real progress."
A separate CDR, now underway, is reviewing the design of the Orion spacecraft, the astronaut-carrying capsule that will launch atop the SLS. NASA has said it will be ready to launch its first crewed Orion and SLS mission by 2023.
