A star is dimming for reasons that astronomers can't explain.
Observations by NASA's Kepler space telescope revealed that the star KIC 8462852, which lies about 1,500 light-years from Earth, dimmed dramatically and strangely several times over the past few years. Researchers aren't sure what's going on, and they have posited that some sort of light-blocking "alien megastructure" is a possible — though unlikely — explanation.
"We are the most skeptical people on the planet," Robert J. Sawyer, a Canadian sci-fi writer who regularly discusses alien life in his novels, toldSpace.com. His 23rd novel, "Quantum Night," will be published in 2016. "It is hard to find a science-fiction writer who believes in UFOs or flying saucers," Sawyer said.
Sawyer added that journalists, by contrast, often pump up the news because they "smell front page." And while Sawyer supports the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) because it is so cheap to listen for radio signals, he said it's meaningful that, in five decades of searching, nothing has come up so far. Aliens, he said, may communicate by other means.
All that being said, what if KIC 8462852 does host an alien megastructure? What might it look like? Sawyer and fellow sci-fi novelist Larry Niven shared some ideas with Space.com.
Patterns in the sky
By surrounding their sta with swarms of energy-collecting satellites, advanced civilizations could create Dyson spheres. [Read the Full Dyson Sphere Infographic Here.] Credit: by Karl Tate, Infographics Artist
One possible use of a megastructure could be a sort of calling card, which was covered in Sawyer's 1994 novel "End of an Era." In that book, a paleontologist travels back to the time of the dinosaurs, some 65 million years ago, and spots a rosette pattern of stars in the sky. Upon analysis, it's clear the structure is far away; there is no parallax, or shifting in position when you view it at different times of the year (and at different points in Earth's orbit).
"You have to conclude that some now-extinct alien civilization was announcing itself to the universe by doing a mega-engineering project, moving the stars in a geodesic sphere so that from any vantage point, you would see it," Sawyer said.
Another use for a megastructure could be to harvest energy from a star, which is famously discussed in Niven's "Ringworld" series. Niven was inspired by the idea of a Dyson sphere — a shell or system of objects that would surround the star and collect its light.
In some cases, a Dyson sphere could be constructed as an artificial world with a water cycle, atmosphere and so on. Niven's twist, first articulated in the 1970 novel "Ringworld," was to have an object only around the star's equator — a ringworld — in part because spinning a Dyson sphere would force the atmosphere and oceans to the equator anyway. [Dyson Spheres: How Advanced Alien Civilizations Would Conquer the Galaxy (Infographic)]
"The Dyson sphere looked wonderful, but I decided to make a cheaper version," Niven toldSpace.com. "[The public] loved it. I was surprised, and before that, I was a little worried. I wasn't sure they'd take it seriously. Once I opened the field, there were enough new problems to make a [book]shelf all based on ring structures."
One problem with the ringworld is that it would eventually break apart due to gravity from the star — an issue that both Sawyer and Niven pointed out. In Niven's next book on that concept, "The Ringworld Engineers" (1979), he stabilized the ringworld using attitude jets on the rim, which were powered by the solar wind (a stream of particles coming from the sun). He also made the ringworld's floor — the side facing the sun — magnetic so that it would interact with the sun's magnetic field and keep the ringworld aligned with the equator.
Glowing fires
Niven said he is also skeptical that the new find is an alien megastructure, but he said it could be suggestive of a Dyson cloud — a huge collection of solar panels to harvest the sun's energy. Stars could also be moved around to gather energy more efficiently — an idea that Gregory Benford and Niven cover in their jointly authored books "The Bowl of Heaven" (2012) and "Shipstar" (2014).
Aliens probably wouldn't use such a megastructure to act as a cosmic calling card, Niven added, as doing so would be very expensive.
However, Sawyer noted that there is historical precedent for making (or at least proposing to make) big structures that do little more than say hello. In the late 1800s, when some people believed there were canals and a dying civilization on Mars, Joseph Johann von Littrow (as the story goes) suggested digging huge canals in the Sahara, filling them with kerosene and setting them on fire.
"We would be signaling [the Martians] with glowing geometric shapes," Sawyer said. "It really has been this natural desire to say, 'Hey, we're here.'"
Researchers build world's first working sonic tractor beam

Nick Wells, CTVNews.ca
It's long been the stuff of sci-fi fantasy, but a team of researchers say they have built the world's first working sonic tractor beam.
Researchers from the Universities of Bristol and Sussex along with Ultrahaptics, a company that was started out of a project from the University of Bristol, claim to have built a sonic tractor beam that can move objects using sound waves.
The researchers published a report on their technique in the science journal "Nature Communications" on Tuesday.
Using a combination of 64 miniature loudspeakers to create a high-pitched and high-intensity sound waves, the device was able to levitate beads up to 4-millimetres in diameter.
"In our device we manipulate objects in mid-air and seemingly defy gravity. We can individually control dozens of loudspeakers to tell us an optimal solution to generate an acoustic hologram that can manipulate multiple objects in real-time without contact," University of Sussex professor of informatics Sriram Subramian said in a statement.
Unlike in previous attempts to create “tractor beams,” the object doesn't need to be completely surrounded by loudspeakers in order to manipulate it.
The group found that, by altering the sound wave output, the high-intensity sound waves create a force field that can keep a bead in place, move it around, and even combine multiple beads.
"We all know that sound waves can have a physical effect. But here we have managed to control the sound to a degree never previously achieved," said Bruce Drinkwater, a professor of ultrasonics with the University of Bristol.
Unlike the tractor beams audiences are accustomed to seeing dragging unsuspecting humans into orbiting UFOs, researchers envision this technology could one day have applications in medicine, for example, moving or manipulating everything from kidney stones to micro-surgical instruments without interfering with magnetic resonance imaging.
The next step is building a larger version that is capable of levitating a soccer ball from 10 metres away, and building a smaller version that can manipulate particles inside the human body.
Dramatic footage of a fake UFO hovering over the Nelson Mandela bridge in Johannesburg is sure to set twitter alight.
A photo of a UFO hovering over the N1 highway in Midrand has set social media alight, with people sharing the picture and commenting on what they saw. UFOs always get people excited – and afraid – and perhaps it has something to do with the excitement of not being alone in the ginormous universe.
Connect picked up the photo on facebook just before it went viral, before it launched like a flying saucer into the stratosphere overnight. The original story, which can be read here, shows a giant saucer-shaped, ominous-looking, creepy-villain dwelling space ship just above the clouds.
Austin Rossouw, a graphic artist and animator from Johannesburg, took up The Citizen’s challenge of producing a photo of a UFO above the skyline of Johannesburg. His brief was simple: check out the original photo and give us something that looks like it was taken with a cell phone inside a moving car and put it in a cool location, such as Braamfontein – and make it confusing: maybe it’s a thunder cloud and maybe it is a Zorkmobile from planet Zork (it’s always Zork). 30 minutes later, we had our very own UFO in Johannesburg.
Fake UFO in Johannesburg.
PICTURE: Austin Rossouw
The point of the exercise is to show two things – just how cool Adobe suite is, but also, how easy it is to go viral. One would have thought that in 2015 people would have moved on from believing everything they see and read, just because they see and read it – but that is not the case. Although some people took the picture as a joke, many others shared the photo believing it just might be true.
If the UFO is in fact real, and here I am making a mockery of graphic design 101 and all the believers of the great alien conspiracy, then the joke will be on me. Think about it, these super advanced, freaky (no doubt slightly prawny) beings are here to impress upon us their superiority and here is a little you-know-what called Devlin Brown posting a picture of a fake cloudy UFO in a cooler location – definitely a hipster time-traveler. What if they get cross with me?
Come to think of it – I have been hearing a low rumble behind the window since I started this experiment. My screen flashes and the cursor moves by itself. I’m feeling a bit dizzy, and… the lights are flashing. What is going on? Who’s there? I am just trying to pu ASDA ASD ASD….

No, a UFO named WTF is not threatening to destroy Earth
No, a UFO named WTF is not threatening to destroy Earth
Let's start with the facts: Yes, there's something hurtling through space in our direction. Yes, it's going to enter the Earth's atmosphere and possibly land in the Indian Ocean next month. No, scientists don't know quite what it is. And, no, that doesn't make it a UFO.
The European Space Agency released information last week about an object spotted streaking through space and heading toward Earth. Headlines are zeroing in on the chance of impact and the unidentified object's comically apropos nickname. Officially named WT1190F, the object's catalog number has been popularly shortened to "WTF."
But ESA scientists have a pretty good idea of what it could be -- probably a remnant from a past mission, like the hollow shell of part of a spent rocket -- and they're confident that it's unlikely to be a threat.
"The expected 13 November reentry of what is likely to be a rocket body poses very little risk to anyone," they wrote on the ESA blog Thursday.
"The object is quite small, at most a couple of meters in diameter, and a significant fraction if not all of it can be expected to completely burn up in the atmosphere," said Tim Flohrer, from ESA's Space Debris Office in Darmstadt, Germany.
Whatever remains of the space junk after the fiery reentry is expected to fall into the Indian Ocean, about 60 miles off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, on Nov. 13.
Space object WT1190F observed on 9 October 2015 with the University of Hawaii 2.2-metre telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.
B. BOLIN, R. JEDICKE, M. MICHELI
"If anything makes it down to the surface...it would be very small, so the odds of anybody getting hurt are very remote," CBS News Space Correspondent Bill Harwood said. "The thing that this always brings to mind is, all satellites and rocket bodies (re)enter on a fairly regular basis so it's not at all unusual."
"The good news is that three-quarters of the world is ocean, so the odds are that it's going to land somewhere in the ocean and the ocean is a big place," he added. "Statistically I think there's no point in worrying about this one."
WT1190F was first discovered in 2013 by the Catalina Sky Survey, which identifiesnear-Earth objects in space. It has been observed several times since then by the same team.
Scientists hope to use observations to better understand how objects -- "man-made or natural" -- behave upon entry into Earth's atmosphere.
Marco Micheli, an astronomer at ESA's Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre, said, "The first goal will be to better understand the reentry of satellites and debris from highly eccentric orbits."
"Second, it provides an ideal opportunity to test our readiness for any possible future atmospheric entry events involving an asteroid, since the components of this scenario, from discovery to impact, are all very similar."
Harwood explained that watching WT1190F could help scientists understand "what exactly happens when something comes into the atmosphere at extremely high speed and breaks apart: Where in the altitude does the break up start? How much debris reaches the surface?"
He also thinks it would be particularly interesting if scientists could identify the object, which could potentially be a piece of equipment left over from the Apollo missions.
The real-life UFO story behind this season of 'Fargo'
The real-life UFO story behind this season of 'Fargo'
Val Johnson sat inside a new Marshall County squad car two months after the incident.Regene Radniecki | Star Tribune 1979
"This is a true story."
Those words kick off every episode of "Fargo" — they were also at the start of the 1996 movie.
Of course the Coen brothers, and now show creator Noah Hawley, are playing fast-and-loose with "truth." But one of the most unbelievable, out-of-this-world parts of season two is, in fact, "a true story."
(Stop reading now if you're not caught up, Fargo watchers.)
We're talking about the aliens.
So far, unexplained lights and UFO-talk have been in all three episodes of "Fargo," which takes place in and around Luverne, Minn., in 1979.
For these supernatural allusions, Hawley may be pulling straight from the local history books.
Minnesota in the 1970s was something of a hotbed of UFO activity — for the people who believe in that kind of thing. "This was a big decade for UFOs in Minnesota," said Dave Kenney, co-author of "Minnesota in the 70s."
The end of the decade, 1979, brought one of the most notorious unexplained encounters in the whole UFO canon: Val Johnson's late-night crash.
A few weeks after the incident, Johnson stood where he says he was engulfed by a flash of light, and indicated how big the beam was as it approached.Stormi Greener | Star Tribune 1979
Johnson was a Marshall County sheriff's deputy on night patrol outside Warren, Minn., near the North Dakota-Minnesota border. In the early hours of Aug. 26, 1979, he was driving a rural stretch of State Highway 20 when, he says, a ball of light appeared in the road.
"I noticed a very bright, brilliant light, 8 to 12 inches in diameter, 3 to 4 feet off the ground," Johnson said in a taped police interview. "The edges were very defined."
The next thing Johnson knew, the light was in the car with him.
It hit him, Johnson said, "like a 200-pound pillow."

He woke up in a ditch a half-hour later with burns around his eyes. The windshield and one headlight of his 1977 Ford LTD were smashed. Both radio antennas were bent sharply back. The watch on his wrist and the clock on the dash both ticked 14 minutes slow.
Police investigated and never drew any conclusions. But the UFO researchers have plenty of their own.
Jerome Clark, the author of "The UFO Encyclopedia," says the "Val Johnson Incident" remains one of the top 10 most influential UFO encounters in history.
MPR News reporter John Enger recently caught up with Johnson, 36 years after the incident. He's retired, with grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He lives in Eau Claire, Wis.
While believers tout the story as one of the strongest pieces of evidence of extraterrestrial life, Johnson won't speculate on what happened to him that night. He says he doesn't even think about it much.
Johnson's story has plenty of parallels to what "Fargo" fans are watching play out on TV: the small-town cop, the rural highways, the strange lights in the sky.
What remains to be seen is how far Hawley and "Fargo" will take their fictionalized version of the "Val Johnson incident."
When asked about the UFOs by "Vanity Fair," Hawley kept things mysterious: "Look, the Coens' universe is very much a place where you have to accept the mystery and figure out ... does it mean something? Does it not mean something?"
We'll have to watch and see.
Hear Val Johnson describe the encounter himself in the most recent episode of "Aw Jeez," a "Fargo" recap podcast.
This May Be the Best Alternative Explanation to That Extraterrestrial Dyson Sphere So Far
This May Be the Best Alternative Explanation to That Extraterrestrial Dyson Sphere So Far
by Janey Tracey
Within the next week, astronomers are expected to have an answer regarding the cause of the bizarre, irregular dips in brightness of star KIC 8462852, which have led many to speculate that we've found long-sought evidence of an alien civilization. Now, space blogger Jim Galasyn has an alternative explanation: the star itself is oblate, or lopsided, leading to the asymmetrical blockages of light.
While many stars experience dips in brightness as a result of the transit of other celestial objects, the dips of this particular star were unusual for being more extreme (up to 22%), asymmetrical, and non-periodic. The best explanation that involved a natural phenomenon was a string of comets circling the star, but this explanation is considered to be inadequate to fully explain the evidence. As a result, the astronomers who discovered the star began to look into the (admittedly remote)possibility of a Dyson sphere, or a megastructure built around the star by an advanced alien civilization.
The investigation is underway, and we're expected to receive answers by the end of this week. But in the meantime, Galasyn of Desdemona Despair has an alternative explanation from a 2013 paper by Barnes et al. called "Measurement of spin-orbit misalignment and nodal precession for the planet around pre-main-sequence star PTFO 8-8695 from gravity darkening." According to this paper, some stars don't have uniformly spinning discs, which causes the radius to be larger at the equator than at the poles. Since the poles have smaller surface area, they have higher surface gravity, which causes the poles to be "gravity brightened" and the equator to be "gravity darkened."
When a star is oblate, it has a larger radius at its equator than it does at its poles. As a result, the poles have a higher surface gravity, and thus higher temperature and brightness. Thus, the poles are "gravity brightened", and the equator "gravity darkened".
The star becomes oblate (and hence gravity darkening occurs) because the centrifugal force resulting from rotation creates additional outward pressure on the star.
Since there is variable brightness in different areas of the star, the irregular curves of light could be explained by planetarybodies moving across these brighter and darker areas. As planets of different sizes passed across different parts of the star, the brightness would change in asymmetrical and irregular ways.
"Did Kepler discover evidence of an extraterrestrial civilization?" Galasyn wrote on his blog. "Before we invoke aliens, we should consider the plausible natural explanation provided by Barnes:
'An oblique transit path across a gravity-darkened, oblate star leads to the long transit duration and asymmetric lightcurve evident in the photometric data.'"
An artist's concept depicts one possible appearance of the planet Kepler-452b, the first near-Earth-size world to be found in the habitable zone of a star that is similar to our sun.

Have you heard the big news? If not, you haven't been paying attention to your Facebook feed.
For the past week or two, the Internet has been lighting up about alien megastructures that might, or might not, be orbiting a star called KIC 8462852.
So what should we make of it? Is it just hype deserving a long, slow roll of the eyes? Or is there something in the story that deserves serious consideration?
The answer to this question is, I think, surprising — especially given the next sentence I'm about to hit you with.
It's probably not aliens. Sorry.
Now, that's what you should expect me — a sober, rational, boring scientist — to say. In fact, many of my sober, rational, boring scientist colleagues had the same reaction I did when I heard the news. It went something like this: "Aliens?" (snicker, snicker) "Yeah, right."
But beyond our quick dismissals and snickers there hides a much more interesting reality. Maybe it's time for all of us sober, rational, boring scientists to stop snickering when these kinds of possibilities pop up.
Before we go any further, though, let's quickly review a few facts.
Last week's news was about the star KIC 8462852. The focus was on changes in the star's light output (its light curve) that had never been seen before. The observations were taken by the Kepler space telescope, whose job is discovering exoplanets by looking for partial eclipses, or transits, that occur as the planet passes in front of its host star. Kepler scientists know exactly what the drop in starlight should look like when they've discovered a planet.
But the light curve of KIC 8462852 looks nothing like a planet — or any other known astronomical phenomena.
"We'd never seen anything like this," Tabetha Boyajian, one of the authors on the discovery paper, told Ross Andersen at The Atlantic (see Andersen's post for details on the whole story). "It was really weird," Boyajain continued. "We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft, but everything checked out."
Boyajian and her co-authors considered a wide range of possibilities to explain the strange dips in the light coming from KIC 8462852. Nothing they dreamed up provided a really, really good explanation. And in the absence of that really, really good explanation, at least a few others have been thinking: "Aliens!" As Andersen reports, Jason Wright of Penn State is already working on a paper suggesting we might be seeing a signature of extraterrestrial construction, a "swarm of mega-structures," on a planetary system scale.
That's because the point today is not what KIC 8462852, in particular, might be telling us. The odds are high that a natural explanation will be found for the star's flickering that has nothing to do with aliens.
Why take that stance? Well, aliens are always the last hypothesis you should consider. Occam's razor tells scientists to always go for the simplest explanation for a new phenomenon. But even as we keep Mr. Occam's razor in mind, there is something fundamentally new happening right now that all of us, including scientists, must begin considering.
Kepler and the many exoplanet-hunting missions coming next (JWST, PLATO, etc.) represent an entirely new way of watching the sky.
Telescope time has always been expensive — and there's a lot of sky. In the past, astronomers didn't have the technical capacity to continuously watch zillions of stars for long periods of time. The suns we astronomers did come back to again and again tended to be remarkable in one way or another (they flared or blew up periodically). But the exoplanet revolution means we're developing capacities to stare deep into the light produced by hundreds of thousands of boring, ordinary stars. And these are exactly the kind of stars where life might form on orbiting planets.
In fact, the express purpose of many of these missions is to find these planets and probe their light signatures so deeply we might "see" their atmospheres. In that way, we might also search for so-called bio-signatures. These are atmospheric molecules like oxygen and methane that will be present only if a biosphere has developed on the planet.
So we are already going to be looking at a lot of stars to hunt for planets. And when we find those planets, we are going to look at them for basic signs that life has formed. But all that effort means we will also be looking in exactly the right places to stumble on evidence of not just life but intelligent, technology-deploying life. It's as if your job was to look through lost-and-found wallets all day gathering dollar bills. Since you're already looking in the wallets, there is some chance you might stumble on a winning lottery ticket in one of them, too.
Of course, the odds of finding a winning lottery ticket are low. In the same way, seeing something unusual around a star is probably not evidence of an alien civilization. But given the large-scale exoplanet observations we are doing anyway, perhaps it's time to start thinking about how to think about the whole alien thing. David Grinspoon, the Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, put it succinctly when he told me:
"Lots of astronomers have been discussing all the possibilities for the light curve pretty responsibly. But some are really up in arms at even the mention of aliens. I think that's a mistake. Clearly, some things are more probable than others. But we have to learn how to handle these things [and] how to not to handle them."
I think Grinspoon is right. If we do lots of exoplanet observations, then we are bound to see new things. For most of them, we will find "natural" explanations. But for some of them we may also need to, at least, consider the possibility of something more than natural.
And that would mean going beyond snickering.

Sciencefiction wordt realiteit: wetenschappers laten objecten zweven met trekstraal uit Star Trek
Sciencefiction wordt realiteit: wetenschappers laten objecten zweven met trekstraal uit Star Trek
De trekstraal bestond lange tijd alleen in de wereld van Star Wars en Star Trek, maar binnenkort kunnen wij er ook gebruik van maken. Op Wikipedia staat nog dat een trekstraal een fictief apparaat uit de sciencefictionwereld is, maar dát is nu achterhaald.
Britse wetenschappers zijn erin geslaagd om de technologie voor ’s werelds allereerste trekstraal te ontwikkelen. Daarmee kunnen ze objecten vastpakken, in de lucht omhoog trekken en laten zweven.
Het systeem werkt op dit moment op een afstand van zo’n 30 centimeter met kleine objecten ter grootte van een erwt. Door een object te omringen met zeer intense geluidsgolven blijft het als het ware op die golven staan.
De technologie doet wellicht denken aan de technologie uit sciencefictionfilms, waarmee een mens bijvoorbeeld aan boord van een UFO wordt gestraald. De wetenschappers speelden hier tijdens een demonstratie op in. Ze plaatsten het systeem in een kartonnen UFO, zodat het object als het ware aan boord van de UFO werd gestraald.
Het systeem heeft iets minder dan 10 watt nodig, dus met redelijk beperkte middelen kun je al een trekstraal bouwen. Tot voor kort lukte het maar niet om in de praktijk een trekstraal te ontwikkelen. Het bleek erg lastig om te bepalen welke vorm de geluidsgolven moeten hebben.
Hoofdonderzoeker Bruce Drinkwater hoopt met de uitvinding een methode te ontwikkelen voor het toedienen van medicijnen, precies op de plek waar dat nodig is. In ieder geval is er nu een werkend model van de trekstraal uit Star Trek.
Het onderzoek is gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Nature.
Zeldzaam fenomeen aan de hemel te zien: Planetentrio in uitzonderlijke driehoeksverhouding
Zeldzaam fenomeen aan de hemel te zien: Planetentrio in uitzonderlijke driehoeksverhouding
Venus, Jupiter en Mars zijn nog zo’n twee weken samen aan de hemel te zien. Wie de uitzonderlijke samenstand wil aanschouwen moet wel vroeg opstaan. Het planetentrio is namelijk het best zichtbaar rond 5 à 6 uur.
Dat de drie planeten samen te zien zijn is uitzonderlijk. De eerstvolgende keer dat we dit zeldzame fenomeen kunnen bewonderen, is pas in januari 2021. Nog zeldzamer is een conjunctie met vijf planeten. De laatste keer dateert van 2000 en de volgende is pas in 2040. Om acht planeten bij elkaar te zien moet je wachten tot het jaar 2854.
Op 26 oktober stonden de drie planeten het dichtst bij elkaar. De samenstand is ’s ochtends vroeg te zien in de zuidoostelijke hemel. Op dit moment staan Jupiter en Venus bovenaan en Mars onderaan de driehoek. Nog tot vrijdag kun je de zeldzame driehoek aanschouwen. Daarna zal Venus zakken.
Donderdag is wellicht het beste ogenblik om te kijken, dan vormen de planeten een mooi driehoekje en staan ze erg dicht bij elkaar. De samenstand van de planeten is al zichtbaar sinds de nacht van 23 oktober.
Rond 6 november komt ook de maan het planetentrio vergezellen. Om de drie planeten te kunnen zien heb je geen speciale apparatuur nodig. Je kunt gewoon de hemel afspeuren met het blote oog. Na de zon en de maan zijn Venus en Jupiter de helderste hemellichamen.

VIDEO: Vrouw uit Florida legt mysterieuze ‘planeet’ vast bij de zon
Het internet is in rep en roer: een vrouw uit Florida wist niet wat ze zag toen ze een mysterieuze ‘planeet’ aan de hemel spotte. Melissa Huffman plaatste een video op YouTube waarin tegen zonsondergang een grote lichtbol is te zien bij de zon.
Volgens Huffman gaat het duidelijk om een planeet. Ze zegt dat het waarschijnlijk niet Mercurius of Venus is. Elders in de lucht is de maan te zien. “Wil iemand me vertellen wat dit is? Alvast bedankt,” zegt Huffman in de video.
Nibiru
Onder het filmpje, dat inmiddels meer dan een half miljoen keer is bekeken, schreef ze dat het mogelijk Nibiru was, een planetair object dat werd beschreven door de Amerikaanse schrijver Zecharia Sitchin. Volgens wetenschappers is er geen bewijs voor het bestaan van Nibiru.
In zijn boek ‘De twaalfde planeet’ beschrijft Sitchin hoe Anunnaki, buitenaardse wezens afkomstig van de planeet Nibiru, de Soemerische beschaving in Mesopotamië hebben opgebouwd. Hij zei dat deze twaalfde planeet zich in een uitgerekte elliptische baan achter Neptunus bevindt.
Complotdenkers speculeerden dat deze mysterieuze planeet is teruggekeerd in ons zonnestelsel. “Het is zeker Nibiru. Onze makers komen eraan,” zei iemand in een reactie op de video.
Bijzon
Verschillende Reddit-gebruikers suggereerden echter dat het object waarschijnlijk een bijzon of parhelium is, een reflectie van de zon in de wolken.
Inwoners van Mongolië maakten in januari foto’s en filmpjes van een soortgelijk fenomeen, toen er aan beide zijden van de zon een bijzon verscheen en er even drie zonnen aan de hemel leken te staan.
Mysterieuze constructie ontdekt in Egyptische woestijn ( Video )
Mysterieuze constructie ontdekt in Egyptische woestijn ( Video )
In een verlaten deel van de Egyptische woestijn is een bijzondere geometrische constructie ontdekt.
Volgens een dame met paranormale gaven hebben we hier te maken met een buitenaards ruimteschip en bevinden de inzittenden zich in een basis onder de grote piramides.
Soms kom je via Google de meest vreemde dingen tegen op onze planeet. Zo was er enkele dagen geleden een Italiaanse onderzoeker, Matteo Ianneo, die via Google Earth een merkwaardige constructie ontdekte zo’n 50 kilometer ten zuidoosten van Cairo.
Iedereen kan het zelf opzoeken via Google Earth of Maps door het intikken van de volgende coördinaten: 30° 1'13.25"N 31°43'14.51"E
Wat je dan te zien krijgt is het volgende:
Nog wat meer afbeeldingen vanuit verschillende invalshoeken:
Wat het ook is, het is niet iets dat afkomstig is uit de oudheid want volgens Ianneo stond er in 2009 nog helemaal niets op die plek.
Misschien is er een heel simpele verklaring voor deze bijzondere geometrische constructie en weet iemand wat het is.
Wereldwijd wordt er uiteraard volop gespeculeerd over wat dit zou kunnen zijn en sommige mensen zijn zelfs te rade gegaan bij een dame die over paranormale gaven schijnt te beschikken.
Zij zegt het volgende:
Wanneer ik mij focus dan zie ik een spiksplinternieuw ruimtevoertuig dat bezig is met de landing. Het is van buitenaardse oorsprong en heeft nog een soort nieuwe glans alsof het net gebouwd is voor een missie naar deze aarde.
Het lijkt alsof het een bewuste keuze was om hier te landen en dat alles werkt zoals het hoort. Wanneer ik mentaal op onderzoek ga om uit te vinden wat het hier doet dan krijg ik door dat er een ondergronds grottensysteem is dat naar een basis leidt. Dit schip landde precies boven op die basis.
Ook krijg ik door dat dit grottensysteem weer verbonden is met een soortgelijk systeem onder de grote piramides zoals een soort labyrint.
Ik hoor dat deze reis naar onze aarde een enkeltje was. Ze hadden geen plannen om weer te vertrekken nadat ze hier eenmaal waren aangekomen. Ze zijn hier gekomen om een zeer zeldzame basis te versterken en een huis diep onder de grond te creëren. Het was in feite de bedoeling dat dit schip zou gaan fungeren als “een deksel” op de basis.
Heeft deze helderziende het goed en vormt dat wat wij zien onderdeel van een buitenaards schip of is er een meer aardse verklaring voor dit alles. . Kijk en oordeel zelf en eventuele verklaringen zijn natuurlijk altijd welkom

UFO Drone Caught Studying Deer In Berkesville, Kentucky On Oct 15, 2015, Photos, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: October 15, 2015 Location of sighting: Berkesville, Kentucky, USA Source: MUFON #71941 Aliens like to study humans, but not as much as they like to study our wildlife and plants. Drones are sent to record animal behaviors, smells, take samples, and so on so that the info can be brought back to their scientists to study. This looks like one of those drones. These drones travel incredibly fast, which is why it looks like 11 balls of light. Really its just a single ball of light. It looks like the flash from the camera scared it and its instantaneous reactions got it caught moving away. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: 1. Was at home watching TV and getting ready to go to bed. 2. First noticed it when I went to check what I had on game camera. I usually leave camera out for 1 week before I check to see what animals I got on film. 3. When I first saw the photo, I said to myself that's a UFO! 4. Didn't see it in person. Only on film. 5. Sent picture to local MUFON investigators via email, but have received no reply email. I know them both.

Dark Disk Seen Over Phoenix At Luke AFB, Arizona On Oct 26, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Oct 26, 2015 Location of sighting: SE Phoenix, Arizona, USA Guys, Luke AFB is in Phoenix and has had many sightings of UFOs over the base in the last decade, so either aliens are keeping an eye on the base or this is a top secret USAF project. Hard to say, but if this UFO is govt, then it would not be hovering over the city for all to see. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: Driving westbound in SE Phoenix on October 26 at 2pm I noticed in the far away distance a stationary object above the mountains. I could not video at first sighting as it was to far away. As I got closer to my exit I did mange to get this video. It was nothing like anything I have ever seen in the sky before...ever. From this distance it does have the appearance of a disc.
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.

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.
