Searching for Aliens in Roswell, New Mexico
Searching for Aliens in Roswell, New Mexico
If you don’t discover extraterrestrial life, you’ll still get plenty of photos to make your Facebook friends jealous.
While traveling, I’ve been on a lot of wild goose chases. I’ve searched for Nessie in Scotland, tried to find Bigfoot in Washington, listened for ghosts at The Stanley Hotel and, more recently, visited Roswell, New Mexico to find enlightenment about extra terrestrial visitors on Earth.
I didn’t expect much from Roswell, New Mexico. I was actually surprised there was even a town there, since most of the alien conspiracy TV shows use a lot of footage from farms and empty fields. Roswell is conveniently located between Albuquerque and Carlsbad Caverns, so it’s an easy stop if you enjoy quirky diversions. Most people have heard of the UFO cover-up theory that’s been circulating since the ’70s. In 1947, a mysterious object crashed near Corona, about 75 miles from Roswell. Officials claimed it was a weather balloon. Evidence of the crash seemingly disappeared shortly thereafter. It wasn’t a big deal until 20-something years later, when the story starting getting a lot more scrutiny. Since then, every crop circle, abduction story, UFO sighting, and suspicious government document about the 1947 crash has been collected and put on display in the UFO museum in Roswell.
And what a museum it is! The giant room’s walls are covered with newspaper clippings, photos, eyewitness accounts and bits of evidence that attempt to prove that not only are we not alone in the universe, but that we’ve been getting visitors from parts unknown for thousands of years. Not only does the museum display a few items from the TV show Roswell, there’s also a life-size replica of the “Palenque Astronaut” sarcophagus lid that is connected with alien visitations to the Mayan culture, some life-sized alien figures and—of course—a gift shop that offers every type of otherworldly trinket imaginable. The museum was fine and dandy, but in the end I just wanted some “I’ve been there” alien photos to go with my Route 66 sign. That’s where Area 51 comes in.
Area 51 is an extraterrestrial photographer’s paradise. There’s at least a dozen life-sized sets where you can sit with aliens, drink with them, poke your head out of a flying saucer, or lie on a table like you’re getting a body probe, not to mention plenty of retro-futuristic gadgets and gizmos that look like they came out of a 1960s science fiction movie. The store doesn’t take itself too seriously, and you’re guaranteed to get a few pics that will make your Facebook friends jealous. It only costs a couple of dollars. It was the most fun I had in Roswell.
Surprisingly, no one has cashed in on a science fiction–themed diner in a town that most people would consider to be the nucleus of all things “spacey.” The closest thing to a UFO-themed restaurant is one of the two McDonald’s in town. There’s a flying saucer sticking out of the roof of the playground and murals and 3D figures of the McDonald’s characters dressed in spacesuits orbiting cartoon planets. McDonald’s doesn’t claim that the moon is made of cheese… It’s made of cheeseburgers!
If you drive down the main street at night, you’ll notice an alien glow along the avenue. Years ago, a Roswell artist noticed the street lamps were shaped a little like alien heads and also happened to be green, the accepted color of visitors from space. The city wasn’t interested in modifying the lamps, so one night the artist, his wife, and a few friends spent the evening adding eyes to them. The city decided to leave them as a nod to its history. They’ve been there since 2001. Several enterprising residents have built homemade flying saucers that can be found around town. Type in “alien” in Google maps, and you might find the world’s only alien-themed Coke machine.
The alien hype doesn’t stop there. There’s dozens of T-shirt shops, souvenir marts and murals scattered through the town. You’ll find alien statues at gas stations and in front of stores, plus entire buildings painted with pictures of saucers and colorful planets. The most famous mural is a larger-than-life 3D one just south of town on the east side of the highway. This giant artistic rendering features a flying saucer landing, with Roswell residents interacting with their intergalactic visitors. The most prominent green man looks horrified at the apple pie being offered to him by a woman from the town, while to the right, a man has handed a set of jumper cables to an interstellar guest to help him start his broken truck. John Cerney completed this masterpiece in 2013, and it welcomes guests to the “alien capital of the world” as well as making a great addition to the rest of your alien photos. Hop through the barbed wire fence to get to it. Everyone else does.
Will a stop in Roswell make you believe that there’s life on other planets? Even if it doesn’t, you’ll have a great time searching the skies for answers to questions that you probably never thought about. It’s less than 3 hours southeast of Albuquerque and about an hour north of Carlsbad.

EXCLUSIVE: Scores of Sheffield people call South Yorkshire police to report UFOs and aliens
EXCLUSIVE: Scores of Sheffield people call South Yorkshire police to report UFOs and aliens
Little green men and Unidentified Flying Objects have made contact with Earth - and they have landed in South Yorkshire.
That’s according to some of the scores of callers to South Yorkshire Police’s 999 and 101 numbers in the past two years.
A ghoul at Silica Lodge Garden Centre.
Officers have been called out to deal with extra-terrestrial contact on 30 occasions - even if a few of them turned out to be more large pint glasses than little green men who were ultimately responsible.
As part of The Star’s week-long Halloween coverage of ghosts, ghouls and all things unusual, we’ve compiled a list of the best alien calls, based on a Freedom of Information Act request to South Yorkshire Police.
1. December 2014: Call to public house to deal with an intoxicated individual who is talking about aliens and won’t leave the premises. Officers attended. Individual has been put in a taxi.
2. October 2014: Caller phones to say aliens are killing him/her and clears the line. Recontacted caller, who put the phone down.
3. November 2014: Call from individual who states there are aliens in his/her house. Officers attend and individual now believes this was all in his/her mind.
4. December 2014: Multiple calls from individual for various reasons including stating there are thousands of aliens in the sky. Believe this to be a hoax call.
5. October 2014: Call received from individual who believes aliens are coming. Caller sounds confused. Officers attended the property. Caller stated that he/she could not be bothered to answer the door. Incident completed.
6. September 2014: Call received from individual who believes aliens have been coming through the Wi-Fi with threats to kill. Advice & reassurance offered.
7. September 2014: Caller phones to say UFO has just landed outside his/her property and wondered if anyone else had reported it. Incident closed as no other reports of any sightings.
8. December 2013: Caller reports strange lights in the sky and asks if we have had any other calls. Advised that we have had no other reports.
9. October 2014: Call to report an individual known to caller and who has mental health issues; is at caller’s property refusing to leave. Individual is talking about having alien DNA. Officers attend, consulted with medical professionals and took individual home.
10. June 2015: Call from regular confused caller who rings several times on various subjects including aliens. Regular confused caller - no policing purpose. No action taken.
11. August 2015: Caller wants to report that a UFO has just flown past his/her property. No action taken.
12. September 2015: Regular confused caller who states that aliens are coming... he/she has seen it on TV. Caller advised that TV is not real. Handler asks if there is anyone we can ring for him/her. Caller says not.
13. September 2015: Call to advise an individual is in the middle of the road, saying aliens told him/her to commit suicide. Officers took individual back to home address to await health professionals.
14. May 2015: Regular confused caller rings several times. Garbled messages including mentioning aliens. No action taken.
15. March 2015: Regular confused caller rings several times. Talking in rambling fashion, about various things including meat from aliens. No action taken.
16. September 2014: Caller believes he/she hears the voices of aliens who have threatened to abduct him/her.
Tracy Potter, head of communications at South Yorkshire Police, said: “What the content of these calls illustrate is that people call both 999 and 101 with an incredibly wide variety of concerns.
“What this data in particular also highlights is that many calls of this nature are not really police concerns and increase demand on the service, which can impact on the response we provide to the public.
“There are, however, certain examples where people have reported noises at a property and believe it to be ghostly activity. Our officers must still respond to ensure that a burglary or other form of crime is not being committed.
“Our officers will also respond if there is a suggestion that the welfare of an individual is at risk.
“Some of the calls demonstrate that there are occasions where officers must work closely with health professionals to ensure that the individual concerned is safe and well. This is part of our ongoing commitment alongside partner agencies to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the public in South Yorkshire.
“Unfortunately there are examples given here of individuals making hoax calls, which diverts vital officers and resources to a non-incident when there could be a legitimate incident that requires a response elsewhere in the county. This is simply not acceptable and wherever possible we will address this issue robustly.”

Soviet, and later, Russian cosmonauts have observed interesting , unusual, and often inexplicable phenomena while in space. Some of them have talked about their experiences, although doing so is not encouraged by their space program. A cosmonaut is a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a crew member of a spacecraft; cosmonauts are professional space travelers. Cosmonaut Vladimir Lyakhov once remarked about a very unusual phenomenon he observed from his spaceship looking down on Earth: two gigantic waves ascended from the waters of the Indian Ocean, and crashed onto each other. The mass of water resulting from the crash seemed to be a giant mountain that had vanished in an instant (published in Tekhnika-Molodezhi,Issue 3, 1980). Cosmonaut Vladimir Kovalyonok reported a very similar water pillar of over 100 kilometers in height in the Timor Sea near Australia. Cosmonaut Vladimir Kubasov told a reporter that he and others had numerous facts that prove the existence of UFOs. This was the year of the famous Teheran UFO incident. In 1978, Vladimir Kovalyonok observed a strange object on August 15 from the Salyut-6 space station: it approached and distanced itself repeatedly. Cosmonauts Valery Ryumin and Leonid Popov, while aboard the same station in 1980 (from June 14 to 15) had observed a school of white glowing dots that took-off in the area of Moscow, and flew into space above their station. They reported it to the ground control.
In the year 1982, on July 12, Soviet cosmonauts Georgy Beregovoy and Valentin Lebedev were able to observe an unusual drop-shaped object on the monitor’s screen of the Salyut-7. It flew, ascending, between the orbital space station and Progressor-14 craft. The object, at the distance of 200 meters, could have been the size of a spaceship. In the year 1982, on July 12, Soviet cosmonauts Georgy Beregovoy and Valentin Lebedev were able to observe an unusual drop-shaped object on the monitor’s screen of the Salyut-7. It flew, ascending, between the orbital space station andProgressor-14 craft. The object, at the distance of 200 meters, could have been the size of a spaceship.
On the 155th day of the station’s flight, the crew was busy with planned experiments, tests, and scientific observations. They were about to start medical experiments. All of them were experienced, skilled cosmonauts. Then, something that was out of their experience, knowledge, and understanding occurred. In front of the Salyut- 7 station, out of nowhere, a large, orange, gas cloud suddenly appeared, its origin unknown. The cosmonauts immediately informed the Tsentrupravleniya poletom(Soviet Space Mission Control Center). While the astonished Tsentr analyzed the report, Salyut-7entered the cloud. The crew had a brief impression that the orange cloud entered their station. They were all engulfed by the mysterious orange glow, blinded, out of contact with their comrades. But their sight, however, was restored quickly. The cosmonauts stumbled to the station’s portholes. What they saw left them speechless: seven gigantic shapes could be easily discerned inside the orange cloud. Their political ideals, their faith in Marxist-Leninist postulates were gone in a flash. None doubted their eyes. None questioned the shapes: seven heavenly angels. The angels looked like humans, and yet they were different. Yes, the angels possessed huge wings, and blinding halos. The main difference, however, lay in the angels’ smiles. When they gazed upon the Soviet crew, they smiled. The Soviet cosmonauts recalled what wonderful smiles the angels had. Smiles of joy, of rapture…no human could smile like that. Ten minutes passed quickly. As the clock ticked away the time, the angels disappeared, along with their cloud. The crew of Salyut-7 felt a devastating loss. But Earth was demanding explanation. When the Tsentr received the report, it was immediately classified as “top secret.” A special team of doctors was formed to study cosmonauts’ well-being. Hence, instead of carrying out further experiments in space, the crew was ordered to measure its own physical and mental health. The tests indicated that the cosmonauts were well and of sound mind.

Our journey into this sacred city of plazas, temples and pyramids follows this path devised by the ancient masters – illuminating those places in our minds where fearful beliefs limit our happiness, peace, and joy. Reborn, with expanded awareness, we learn to choose love over fear – awakening to the truth of who we really are – and restoring the innate magnificence of our authentic selves.
We invite you to experience the mysterious essence of transformation. Gini Gentry and friends will share ceremonies and practices from the Toltec wisdom tradition that Teotihuacan was built to preserve. Many thousands of years ago, the Toltecs understood that our lives can be a dream of heaven on earth – a dream filled with peace, happiness, grace and love.
Toerist fotografeert mysterieus zeemonster voor Griekse kust
Toerist fotografeert mysterieus zeemonster voor Griekse kust
Een Schotse toerist heeft op vakantie in Griekenland een zeemonster vastgelegd op de gevoelige plaat. Harvey Robertson probeerde tijdens een boottocht voor de kust van Parga met zijn iPhone de ongewone kleuren in het water vast te leggen.
Wat hij fotografeerde stelt internetgebruikers – inclusief zeewetenschappers – voor een raadsel. Toen Robertson de foto’s bekeek, zag hij dat hij een grijs wezen had vastgelegd dat doet denken aan een zeekoe.
(Harvey Robertson)
Op één van de foto’s komt het vreemde dier boven water, om in de volgende weer onder het wateroppervlak te verdwijnen. “Ik heb het dier zelf niet gezien op het moment dat ik de foto’s maakte,” zei Robertson. “Ik probeerde de kleur van het water (fluorescerend blauw) vast te leggen.”
“Je kunt je voorstellen hoe verbaasd ik was toen ik mijn foto’s bekeek,” ging hij verder.
Sommigen denken dat het een dolfijn van Cuvier is, terwijl anderen speculeren dat het gaat om ‘een kruising tussen een nijlpaard en een krokodil’. Zelfs wetenschappers zijn verbaasd.
“Ik heb geen idee wat het is,” zei Robertson. “Ik heb de foto’s naar zeebiologen van over de hele wereld gestuurd, maar niemand heeft enig idee.”
Deze ‘buitenaardse ruimtesonde’ passeert de aarde in de zomer van 2017
Deze ‘buitenaardse ruimtesonde’ passeert de aarde in de zomer van 2017
Een mysterieus ruimteobject, dat volgens complottheoretici een ‘buitenaardse sonde’ is, vliegt in 2017 langs de aarde. Het object, 1991 VG geheten, werd in november 1991 ontdekt door astronoom James Scotti van de Universiteit van Arizona.
Het object stelt astronomen vanwege zijn vreemde rotatie nog altijd voor een raadsel. Sommige experts suggereren dat het gaat om een onderdeel van het ruimteveer Apollo 12, maar dat is volgens Scotti niet waarschijnlijk.
“We hebben alle mogelijkheden onderzocht,” zei hij. “Er waren een paar ruimteschepen en raketten die in aanmerking kwamen, maar bij nader onderzoek konden we ze allemaal uitsluiten.”
Geheime Sovjetraket
Anderen beargumenteren dat het een geheime Sovjetraket is. “De Sovjets hadden raketten die even krachtig waren als Amerikaanse raketten en probeerden zelf ook de maan te bereiken,” schreef een Reddit-gebruiker. “Het is plausibel dat het object onderdeel is geweest van een vergeten Russische missie.”
Toen Scotti 1991 VG ontdekte, had het object een doorsnee van 10 meter en stond het op een kleine 500.000 kilometer van de aarde. Het object draait snel om zijn as en de helderheid varieert sterk. Er waren in die tijd nog geen asteroïden ontdekt die een soortgelijk gedrag vertoonden. Bovendien leek de omloopbaan van 1991 VG sterk op die van de aarde.
Buitenaardse sonde
De astronoom besefte al snel dat het object de aarde al eerder was gepasseerd: in maart 1975. Asteroïden overleven meestal niet lang in de ruimte en blijven niet vaak in dezelfde baan.
Astronoom Duncan Steel van de Universiteit van Adelaide suggereerde dat het een buitenaardse sonde zou kunnen zijn. Hij stelde dit naar eigen zeggen voor om zijn eigen ongelijk aan te kunnen tonen, maar toch blijven complottheoristen vasthouden aan zijn werk.
Als het object in de zomer van 2017 de aarde passeert, zal het alleen op het zuidelijk halfrond te zien zijn. Astronomen hebben intussen asteroïden ontdekt met opmerkelijk snelle rotaties. Scotti wil asteroïden daarom nog niet uitsluiten.
Brandweerlieden in Paraguay keken vreemd op toen ze het half vergane lichaam van een vreemd wezen vonden waarvan niemand hen kon vertellen wat het was.
Ook na uitgebreid medisch onderzoek blijft het, althans voorlopig, een raadsel wat voor soort wezens is ontdekt door een lokaal brandweerkorps.
Omdat het voorval plaatsvond in Zuid Amerika wordt er als snel chupacabra geroepen. Andere mensen denken dat het lijkt op een buitenaards wezen of een nieuw en nu toe volkomen onbekende cryptid.
Volgens een aantal lokale nieuwsberichten werd het lichaam op 21 oktober ontdekt langs de oever van de Parana rivier in Carmen del Paraná, Itapúa.
Het is niet precies duidelijk wie het lichaam heeft ontdekt, maar een groep leden van een vrijwillig brandweerkorps waren de eersten die het wezen aan een soort onderzoek onderwierpen.
Hun eerste gedachten gingen in de richting van half menselijk en half aap. Later werd het lichaam onderzocht door een medisch deskundige, maar deze slaagde er ook niet in om het wezen te identificeren.
Speculaties van mensen uit de buurt variëerden van chupacabra, een buitenaards wezen, een onbekende cryptid tot een niet eerder ontdekte apensoort.
Op dit moment is de uitslag van een autopsie die zou gaan plaatsvinden nog niet bekend.
Als het geen aap is, een chupacabra of een buitenaardse, wat zou het dan nog kunnen zijn? Zuid Amerika is wel het land waar een aantal cryptids voorkomen die overeenkomen met het gevonden wezen.
Zo is er de Maricoxi, een agressieve op een aap lijkend wezen dat in de jungle leeft en in grootte variëert tussen de 70 centimeter en twee meter. Er zijn echter berichten van getuigen die zeggen dat ze exemplaren hebben gezien van vier meter hoog. De onderzoeker Peter Fawcett claimde dat hij een groep van dergelijke wezens heeft gezien in 1914.
Een andere mogelijkheid is nog de Mono Grande (Spaans voor grote aap). Dit is een aapachtig wezen dat veel groter is dan de apen die wij normaal gesproken kennen. Waarnemingen van deze bijzondere aap gaan terug tot eind zestiende eeuw toen de onderzoekers Pedro Cieza de León en Sir Walter Raleigh hen beschreven.
Er is een foto uit 1920 van een Mono Grande of een ander aapachtige cryptid met de naam De Loys aap. omdat dit wezen werd ontdekt door Francois de Loys. Hieronder de enige bekende foto van de aap:
Voorlopig blijft het een raadsel wat voor soort wezen de brandweerlieden hebben ontdekt.

I have often talked about UFOs being partly cloaked, or about their cloak being vulnerable during sunset due to the angle of the sun. Well, here someone has found a remarkable craft over New Mexico decloaking partly, due to its fast speed reduction. Whats even more unbelievable is it was found on a NASA site, using their cameras. That means the source (NASA) is impeccable. That means, the probability of it being a real UFO is extremely high. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

Since the Earth is 75% covered in water, the possibility exists. How do we know that intelligent aquatic species in the universe don't exist? We don't. Alien species range from the expected to the bazar. Our oceans are an invite to intelligent aquatic aliens everywhere. Here a person captured an image of a sea creature that marine biologists have not been able to identify. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com News states: A Scottish tourist unwittingly captured an unidentifiable sea monster while vacationing in Greece. Harvey Robertson was on a boat cruise off the coast of Parga, sailing through sea caves with his family. He was initially just trying to capture the unusual color of the surrounding water with his iPhone camera. What he shot instead has baffled those across the Internet—and marine scientists. Looking back through his camera, Robertson saw that he had captured a grey creature that resembles an elongated manatee. The strange animal appears to pop out of the water in one photo, then disappears under the greenish water in the next. Related Image harveymonster3434553.jpgExpand / Contract The creature disappears back into the bright green water. (Courtesy Harvey Roberston) “I didn't actually see the animal at the time as was trying to capture the water color (fluorescent blue) at the point before becoming black,” Robertson told FoxNews.com via email. “You can only imagine my surprise when I was looking back through my photos.” (More at source).
Did extraterrestrials visit Earth 10,000 years ago, close to the time when humanity invented writing and the wheel?
Some, of course, believed aliens did and there were paintings to prove it.
In 2014, an Indian archaeologist claimed that 10,000-year-old paintings on a rock in Charama, India were a substantial evidence of an actual UFO.
According to BeforeItsNews, local archaeology department is now looking for NASA’s help.
Archaeologist JR Bhagat said the findings may suggest that prehistoric humans may have imagined or seen beings from other planets, which still create interest among researchers and ordinary people. He said that more comprehensive research is needed for further discoveries.
The bizarre rock paintings include figures holding weapon-like things. These figures don’t have specific features – no nose and mouth. In a few images, these figures are seen wearing spacesuits.
Prehistoric men may also have the imagination of aliens or beings from other planets, but humans often fancy such things.
Others believe that the fact may inspire imaginations. In this case, prehistoric men are thought to have the knowledge about or perhaps seen real ET visitors.
he universe was born with the Big Bang as an unimaginably hot, dense point. When the universe was just 10-34 of a second or so old — that is, a hundredth of a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second in age — it experienced an incredible burst of expansion known as inflation, in which space itself expanded faster than the speed of light. During this period, the universe doubled in size at least 90 times, going from subatomic-sized to golf-ball-sized almost instantaneously.
According to NASA, after inflation the growth of the universe continued, but at a slower rate. As space expanded, the universe cooled and matter formed. One second after the Big Bang, the universe was filled with neutrons, protons, electrons, anti-electrons, photons and neutrinos.
During the first three minutes of the universe, the light elements were born during a process known as Big Bang nucleosynthesis. Temperatures cooled from 100 nonillion (1032) Kelvin to 1 billion (109) Kelvin, and protons and neutrons collided to make deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen. Most of the deuterium combined to make helium, and trace amounts of lithium were also generated.
For the first 380,000 years or so, the universe was essentially too hot for light to shine, according to France's National Center of Space Research (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales,or CNES). The heat of creation smashed atoms together with enough force to break them up into a dense plasma, an opaque soup of protons, neutrons and electrons that scattered light like fog.
Roughly 380,000 years after the Big Bang, matter cooled enough for atoms to form during the era of recombination, resulting in a transparent, electrically neutral gas, according to NASA. This set loose the initial flash of light created during the Big Bang, which is detectable today as cosmic microwave background radiation. However, after this point, the universe was plunged into darkness, since no stars or any other bright objects had formed yet.
About 400 million years after the Big Bang, the universe began to emerge from the cosmic dark ages during the epoch of reionization. During this time, which lasted more than a half-billion years, clumps of gas collapsed enough to form the first stars and galaxies, whose energetic ultraviolet light ionized and destroyed most of the neutral hydrogen.
Although the expansion of the universe gradually slowed down as the matter in the universe pulled on itself via gravity, about 5 or 6 billion years after the Big Bang, according to NASA, a mysterious force now called dark energy began speeding up the expansion of the universe again, a phenomenon that continues today.
The Big Bang did not occur as an explosion in the usual way one think about such things, despite one might gather from its name. The universe did not expand into space, as space did not exist before the universe, according to NASA Instead, it is better to think of the Big Bang as the simultaneous appearance of space everywhere in the universe. The universe has not expanded from any one spot since the Big Bang — rather, space itself has been stretching, and carrying matter with it.
Since the universe by its definition encompasses all of space and time as we know it, NASA says it is beyond the model of the Big Bang to say what the universe is expanding into or what gave rise to the Big Bang. Although there are models that speculate about these questions, none of them have made realistically testable predictions as of yet.
In 2014, scientists from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced that they had found a faint signal in the cosmic microwave background that could be the first direct evidence of gravitational waves, themselves considered a "smoking gun" for the Big Bang. The findings werehotly debated, but the search for these mysterious ripples continues.
The globular cluster NGC 6397 contains around 400,000 stars and is located about 7,200 light years away in the southern constellation Ara. With an estimated age of 13.5 billion years, it is likely among the first objects of the Galaxy to form after the Big Bang. Credit: European Southern Observatory
The universe is currently estimated at roughly 13.8 billion years old, give or take 130 million years. In comparison, the solar system is only about 4.6 billion years old.
This estimate came from measuring the composition of matter and energy density in the universe. This allowed researchers to compute how fast the universe expanded in the past. With that knowledge, they could turn the clock back and extrapolate when the Big Bang happened. The time between then and now is the age of the universe.
Structure
Scientists think that in the earliest moments of the universe, there was no structure to it to speak of, with matter and energy distributed nearly uniformly throughout. According to NASA, the gravitational pull of small fluctuations in the density of matter back then gave rise to the vast web-like structure of stars and emptiness seen today. Dense regions pulled in more and more matter through gravity, and the more massive they became, the more matter they could pull in through gravity, forming stars, galaxiesand larger structures known as clusters, superclusters, filaments and walls, with "great walls" of thousands of galaxies reaching more than a billion light years in length. Less dense regions did not grow, evolving into area of seemingly empty space called voids.
Content
Until about 30 years ago, astronomers thought that the universe was composed almost entirely of ordinary atoms, or "baryonic matter," According to NASA. However, recently there has been ever more evidence that suggests most of the ingredients making up the universe come in forms that we cannot see.
It turns out that atoms only make up 4.6 percent of the universe. Of the remainder, 23 percent is made up of dark matter, which is likely composed of one or more species of subatomic particles that interact very weakly with ordinary matter, and 72 percent is made of dark energy, which apparently is driving the accelerating expansion of the universe.
When it comes to the atoms we are familiar with, hydrogen makes up about 75 percent, while helium makes up about 25 percent, with heavier elements making up only a tiny fraction of the universe's atoms, according to NASA.
Shape
The shape of the universe and whether or not it is finite or infinite in extent depends on the struggle between the rate of its expansion and the pull of gravity. The strength of the pull in question depends in part on the density of the matter in the universe.
If the density of the universe exceeds a specific critical value, then the universe is "closed" and "positive curved" like the surface of a sphere. This means light beams that are initially parallel will converge slowly, eventually cross and return back to their starting point, if the universe lasts long enough. If so, according to NASA, the universe is not infinite but has no end, just as the area on the surface of a sphere is not infinite but has no beginning or end to speak of. The universe will eventually stop expanding and start collapsing in on itself, the so-called "Big Crunch."
If the density of the universe is less than this critical density, then the geometry of space is "open" and "negatively curved" like the surface of a saddle. If so, the universe has no bounds, and will expand forever.
If the density of the universe exactly equals the critical density, then the geometry of the universe is "flat" with zero curvature like a sheet of paper, according to NASA. If so, the universe has no bounds and will expand forever, but the rate of expansion will gradually approach zero after an infinite amount of time. Recent measurements suggest that the universe is flat with only a 2 percent margin of error.
It is possible that the universe has a more complicated shape overall while seeming to possess a different curvature. For instance, the universe could have the shape of a torus, or doughnut.
Expanding universe
In the 1920s, astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered the universe was not static. Rather, it was expanding, a find that revealed the universe was apparently born in a Big Bang.
After that, it was long thought the gravity of matter in the universe was certain to slow the expansion of the universe. Then, in 1998, the Hubble Space Telescope's observations of very distant supernovae revealed that a long time ago, the universe was expanding more slowly than it is today. In other words, the expansion of the universe was not slowing due to gravity, but instead inexplicably was accelerating. The name for the unknown force driving this accelerating expansion is dark energy, and it remains one of the greatest mysteries in science.

The UFO phenomena is real: shocking comments of highly ranked individuals confirm Extraterrestrials exist.
The UFO phenomena is real: shocking comments of highly ranked individuals confirm Extraterrestrials exist.
If you read a bit about the UFO phenomena you will notices that there is a shocking number of comments from highly classified people regarding alien technology and life elsewhere in the cosmos.
Today we have interesting comments from government officials, military personnel, scientists, politicians and astronauts who all seem to agree that life is not limited to Earth. Conspiracy theory or not, the truth is that many people believe that we are not alone in the universe and that the mysterious UFO sightings (which have increased over the years) are not solely the result of secret military technology.
But why are we still surprised when we hear about Alien technology and UFO’s?
“The number of habitable worlds in our galaxy is certainly in the tens of billions, minimum, and we haven’t even talked about the moons. And the number of galaxies we can see, other than our own, is about 100 billion.” – Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at California’s SETI Institute
The possibility that life exists, elsewhere in the universe is greater than ever. Can we handle the truth?
Perhaps the most shocking comments about Alien life and the UFO phenomena were made by the second director of Lockheed Skunkworks, Ben Rich, a man who oversaw the construction of some of the most advanced military aircrafts in the history of mankind: the stealth fighter and the 17A nighthawk.
According to James Godwell, an aerospace journalist who wrote for several publications like Jane’s Defense Weekly, Aviation Week and Space Technology, and Interavia, during some of his interviews with highly ranked individuals in the military and aerospace industry, some of his contacts said “we have things out there that are literally out of this world, better than Star Trek or what you see in the movies.”
Just before his death, Ben Rich talked about the UFO phenomenon and the truth behind the conspiracy.
“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do it.”
“We now have technology to take ET home. No it won’t take someone’s lifetime to do it. There is an error in the equations. We know what it is. We now have the capability to travel to the stars.”
“There are two types of UFOs — the ones we build and the ones ‘they’ build.”
According to statements from James Godwell, he knew Ben Rich very well and he stated that ten days before Ben Rich died, they spoke and Ben Rich opened up about UFO’s.
“About ten days before he died, I was speaking to Ben on the telephone at the USC Medical Center in LA. And he said, ‘Jim, we have things out in the desert that are fifty years beyond what you can comprehend. They have about forty-five hundred people at the Lockheed Skunk works. What have they been doing for the last eighteen or twenty years? They’re building something.’”
According to SETI Institute’s Seth Shostak, with trillions of planets out there, chances are too good to discount the idea that Alien life exists.
“If you extrapolate on the planets they discovered, there are a trillion planets in the galaxy. That’s a lot of places for life,” Shostak said, as quoted by ABC. “We know that the majority of stars have planets,” but what “fraction of stars has planets that are more like the earth? It might be one in five.”
“The chances of finding it I think are good and if that happens it will happen in the next 20 years depending on the financing,” he added in written testimony, according to BuzzFeed.”
According to John Andrews, another Lockheed engineer who had direct communication with Ben Rich, the former director of Lockheed Skunkworks firmly believed in UFO’s, and when asked if he believed in the existence of the mysterious objects Ben Rich responded:
“Yes, I’m a believer in both categories. I feel everything is possible. Many of our man-made UFOs are Un-Funded Opportunities. There are two types of UFOs, the ones we build, and the ones they build.”
“We now know how to travel to the stars. There is an error in the equations, and we have figured it out, and now know how to travel to the stars and it won’t take a lifetime to do it. It is time to end all the secrecy on this, as it no longer poses a national security threat, and make the technology available for use in the private sector. There are many in the intelligence community who would like to see this stay in the black and not see the light of day. We now have the technology to take ET home.”
Bill McDonalds, a forensic illustrator for the aerospace industry, and who was a good friend of John Andrews also talked about Ben Rich and UFO’s:
“It was Ben Rich’s opinion that the public should not be told. He believed they could not handle the truth, ever. Only in the last months of his decline did he begin to feel that the international corporate Board of Directors’ dealing with the ‘Subject’ could represent a bigger problem to citizens’ personal freedoms under the United States Constitution than the presence of off world visitors themselves.”
It seems that after all, it isn’t that hard to believe in the commentaries of astronauts, engineers, government officials and other individuals who have opened up about Alien Life and the UFO phenomena.
The only questions that we need to ask is: Is our society ready for the truth? And how much would life as we know it change, knowing that we have more than one cosmic neighbor?
A piece of space junk will fall back to Earth next month, giving researchers a chance to study how incoming objects behave when they hit the planet’s atmosphere.
The object, which is known as WT1190F, is expected to enter Earth's atmosphere on Nov. 13 above the Indian Ocean, about 62 miles (100 kilometers) south of Sri Lanka. The impending impact poses little risk to people, experts say.
"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," Tim Flohrer, of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Space Debris Office at the European Space Operations Center in Germany, said in a statement. [Space Junk: How It Got There and What To Do About It (Video)]
WT1190F's demise should be dramatic to people near the entry site nonetheless, generating a bright fireball in the daytime sky on Nov. 13, ESA officials said.
WT1190F was detected on Oct. 3 by astronomers with the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona, who subsequently realized that they had imaged the object in 2013 as well. The team's observations revealed that WT1190F orbits Earth every three weeks on a highly elliptical path.
Astronomers have also learned that the object is not dense enough to be a rocky body such as an asteroid and is therefore probably a piece of space junk, researchers said.
"This density is in fact compatible with the object being a hollow shell, such as the spent upper stage of a rocket body or part of a stage," Detlef Koschny, who's responsible for near-Earth object (NEO) activities at ESA’s Space Situational Awareness program office, said in the same statement.

Earth is surrounded by an ever-growing cloud of orbital debris that contains at least 20,000 objects larger than a softball, 500,000 bigger than a marble and millions of shreds and shards too small to track, NASA researchers have said.
Astronomers are keeping a close eye on WT1190F, and they'll study its re-entry avidly to get a better idea of what happens when pieces of space junk come crashing back to Earth.
"The first goal will be to better understand the re-entry of satellites and debris from highly eccentric orbits," said Marco Micheli, an astronomer working at ESA's NEO Coordination Center in Italy.
"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," Micheli added.

It’s late October and the streets will soon be filled with ghosts, goblins and all kinds of paranormal creatures.
But most millennials probably aren’t aware Clarenville is home to its own supernatural experience some 37 years ago.
Though, according to the movies, kindly government officials dressed in black usually wipe our memories of this sort of thing, they didn’t get to Const. Jim Blackwood and a dozen other locals who happened to bear witness to a strange cigar-shaped aircraft hovering over Random Island in October 1978.
When the 25-year-old Blackwood responded to the call from the group on Marine Drive, he assumed it was a simple case of the b’ys getting into the moonshine and letting their imaginations run wild.
But, what Blackwood ended up seeing made him a minor celebrity and the subject of ridicule on the force, so much so that after leaving Clarenville he rarely spoke of the incident.
“I went down and the craft was hovering between Clarenville and Random Island, right on the water. It was only a couple hundred feet off the water. It was there for good two hours before it left,” the now retired Blackwood told The Packet from his home in Nova Scotia.
“I activated the roof lights of my police car and it activated lights at the same time.”
Chester Lethbridge and his wife were among those gathered on the water. They asked him why he would do such a thing. Blackwood explained he was trying to make contact.
“He said he didn’t want to make contact, and he didn’t want to know what was in there and then took off,” Blackwood said.
Using a special telescope for drug surveillance, the once skeptical Blackwood had an up close view to something he can’t explain to this day.
“Chester (Lethbridge) had binoculars. But this thing was a lot better with 60 times’ magnification. I got to see it close up. It didn’t come any closer to us and as it started to leave it went up slow, taking forever to rise — then vroom — gone like a shooting star,” Blackwood said.
Clarenville became Newfoundland’s own Roswell as UFO fever gripped the town for years to come. The old timers hockey team changed their name to the Clarenville UFOs, the local Holiday Inn had a weekend for two UFO special and local auto dealers held extraterrestrial-themed car sales.
“We didn’t see the thing after that. But we did have a lot of calls prior to that. At that particular time there was a flight from Jordan heading to Toronto that happened to see it and it was picked up by radar in Gander. It was a big issue at the time,” Blackwood said.
Blackwood was driven half crazy getting blitzed with media requests. Predicting the ribbing from fellow officers and friends, he refused to talk at first, but eventually the staff sergeant informed him that the powers that be in St. John’s wanted him to grant all interviews. He ended up spending the next couple weeks talking to every major newspaper and media source across the country.
“For two solid weeks all I did was answer the phone and get paid for it. I was on CBC, NTV and BBC. You name it and I was on it,” Blackwood said.
Blackwood is an aircraft enthusiast with a working knowledge of all kinds of planes. He is confidently convinced the hovering object the size of a Boeing 737, was not something from around here.
“I’m familiar with aircrafts of all shapes and sizes. But the metal on it was not like aircraft metal. It was very dull and not shiny at all. It wasn’t even smooth. It was very coarse looking,” he said.
“The technology was way beyond what we had then and still way beyond what we have now.”
Before the incident, Blackwood was not the type to watch the skies. In the years that followed he didn’t develop any kind of interest in little green men.
“Some people would go right hog wild into them, but I never bothered. It was a once in a lifetime thing,” he said.
After leaving the Clarenville detachment, the years of ribbing, ridicule and “Mork and Mindy” jokes deterred him from mentioning the incident to anyone when returning home to Nova Scotia in the mid 1980s.
The National Research Council in Ottawa had an upper atmosphere research facility responsible for UFO reports.
An NRC agent named A.G. MacNamara responded to the reports saying the planet Jupiter is brilliant in mid-October when near the Mediterranean Sea.
“I tore a strip off him. He had this big explanation, but he didn’t talk to me or talk to any of the other 12 witnesses,” Blackwood said. “He just surmised this on his own. There was this guy doing a paper on it. I told him what I thought of him. How the hell can a planet cast a shadow on the water? How can it come down that close that it can block out Random Island?”
Though he hasn’t brought the topic up voluntarily with anyone in decades, he is still contacted by UFO researchers and enthusiasts. He recently recounted his experience with world-renowned professional ufologist Stanton Friedman, an original civilian investigator of the Roswell incident. The TV series “Close Encounters,” which re-enacts alien encounters, has an episode planned on Blackwood’s experience.
Though the experience garnered him some celebrity, on the whole it caused him more grief than it was worth.
So this Halloween season, if you happen to spy a strange looking object over the water near Random Island, maybe just chalk it up to swamp gas and carry on, or else the men in black might show up at your door.

Command Sergeant Major James Norton: I Have Proof Of Alien UFO!
Command Sergeant Major James Norton: I Have Proof Of Alien UFO!
Way back in September 1977, during the Joint Attack Weapons Systems Test (JAWS) at Fort Benning Georgia, the entire base witnessed what appeared to be a UFO invasion. As much as 1300 troops were involved in this incredible event. Most were left with severe psychological trauma and “missing time” gaps.
Command Sergeant Major James Norton, who is now stationed at Fort McClellan, Alabama. He was a buck sergeant (E-5) at the time when he witnessed an eerie encounter with UFOs and the military on September 14, 1977. He was sent to the range a little just before midnight along with around 1200 to 1300 troops to perform live fire with their new weapons systems called JAWS (Joint Attack Weapons System). The Secretary of the Army at the time was actually at the range too!
Command Sergeant Major James Norton remembers clearly when they started the live fire training when all of a sudden there were large orbs way up high in the night sky above them. The next thing he witnessed was what appeared to be lasers crisscrossing through the night sky. The command of ‘cease fire’ was heard shouted out towards the troops, because there was something down range. Military helicopters appeared suddenly out of nowhere. Explosions were then heard, complete madness had broken out around him! Orbs in the night sky were changing a variety of different colours, a lot like the kind of Orbs that are being seen around the world today! Then a Triangle shaped UFO showed up. The soldiers around Norton were in complete shock and awe at this spectacle that was now suddenly in front of them.
After this incredible incident many soldiers became very ill. Every soldier who witnessed this crazy event was briefed that if they were to EVER disclose any information reference the night of these bizarre events, they would be court marshalled immediately and sent to Leavenworth. When Norton eventually obtained his medical records it disclosed that his illness was of unknown origin, his temperature was 104, he was placed in a steel tub of iced water for 2 days, to help bring his temperature down.
Norton had a memory lapse or as we know it in UFO ‘Speak’ it is also called “missing time”. He could not remember how he was on the range and then later found himself alone in the woods. There was an awful lot of time disorientation. During a hypnosis session, he learned that he was actually abducted and taken aboard an unknown craft. Medical experiments were conducted and samples were taken from his body.
After the incident two jets came in that appeared to be white washed, no numbers or identification were on the jets. The jets were there purely to collect UFO crash site debris!
UFO Proof:
Norton picked up a metallic piece from the crash site that had/has strange hieroglyphics on it. This metallic piece cannot be burned. A hacksaw will not cut it either and if you bend it, it will just go back to its original shape. Norton has this metallic piece apparently BURIED AT HIS PROPERTY!?
Norton is now willing and ready to show this evidence to some credible UFologists and to the media! Norton claims he has a 100% proof of UFOs being real, with this solid piece of evidence that he held onto since the incident itself!!
Military helicopters shot down:
The military helicopters that were shot down during the incident, were never actually ever reported to the FAA. He was also burned from a mysterious red substance from this incident!?
Norton is now stationed at Fort McClellan, Alabama and describes how they experiment with biological and chemical substances on this base and that something else is going on there. There is UFO activity at this base, it seems that our military is test flying UFOs all over the base!
One side note: For 62 years, the School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia, has trained some of the worst human rights abusers in the hemisphere.
Other Proof:
Norton even has some incredible night vision footage of all of the UFOs in their different colours taken on the base. He also has footage of a UFO going from one horizon to another horizon in only about a mere 2 seconds. He has video footage of a triangle shaped UFO that hovers over the base, no sound being emitted from it. He has all of this video footage for any credible Ufologist to review, of which he now ready to share with the right people!
John Vasquez, Co-Author of ‘Incident at Fort Benning ’ recounts his experience as a soldier at Fort Benning in down below video

FIRING ON HIGHEST LEVEL: LARGE HADRON COLLIDER 'COULD BE ABOUT TO FIND A PARALLEL UNIVERSE'
FIRING ON HIGHEST LEVEL: LARGE HADRON COLLIDER 'COULD BE ABOUT TO FIND A PARALLEL UNIVERSE'
The Large Hadron Collider is now firing at its highest-ever energy level - and scientists hope we could find a parallel universe.
It won’t be a parallel universe as seen in science fiction - but it could give our understanding of physics is about to take a very big jolt indeed.
One of the many mind-scrambling ideas on the table is that the Big Bang never happened, and the universe has always existed.
Scarily, scientists are combing through results from June in the hope of finding evidence of mini black holes produced inside the collider.
‘Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects (breadth and length) can exist in a third dimension (height), parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions’ Cern employee Mir Faizal from the University of Waterloo said.
‘We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.’
‘Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised ( via uk.news.yahoo.com ).
‘This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science. This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.’

Our place in the universe is a conundrum — life on Earth evolved to create a technologically-savvy race that is now looking for other technologically-savvy intelligences populating our galaxy. But there's a problem; it looks like humanity is the only "intelligent" species in our little corner of the universe — what gives?
This question forms the basis of the Fermi Paradox: given the age of the universe and the apparent high probability of life evolving on other planets orbiting other stars, where are all the smart aliens?
According to a new study based on data collected by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, it might be that Earth (and all life on it) is an early bloomer. By extension, the logical progression from this new study is that we're not hearing from advanced alien civilizations because, in short, the universe hasn't had the time to spawn many more habitable worlds.
The study, which focuses purely on the likelihood of the evolution of habitable worlds (and not speculation of alien intelligence, the Fermi Paradox implication is my own), finds that when our planet was born from our young sun's protoplanetary disk some 4.6 billion years ago, it was born into an era when only "8 percent of the potentially habitable planets that will ever form in the universe existed." This means that the universe has 92 percent to go until it runs out of the necessary material to produce the stars that go on to produce planets, some of which will be small and rocky and orbit in just the right location for life (as we know it) to thrive.
"Our main motivation was understanding the Earth's place in the context of the rest of the universe," said Peter Behroozi of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Md., "Compared to all the planets that will ever form in the universe, the Earth is actually quite early."
Hubble has shown astronomers that young galaxies were churning out stars at a fast rate some 10 billion years ago. However, the quantity of hydrogen and helium involved in stellar production was low compared with the amount of these star-forming gases that exist today.
"There is enough remaining material (after the Big Bang) to produce even more planets in the future, in the Milky Way and beyond," said Molly Peeples, also of STScI.
By combining this knowledge from Hubble with exoplanetary data from Kepler, the researchers were able to form a picture of the habitable planet potential of our galaxy and use it as a model for the number of other habitable worlds existing throughout the cosmos.
Since Kepler started taking data in 2009, we've been introduced to a menagerie of small rocky worlds orbiting sun-like stars. Some of these thousands of worlds orbit their stars within the habitable zone — the region surrounding a star that's not too hot and not too cold to allow liquid water to persist on its surface. By extrapolating from Kepler's comparatively small dataset, astronomers have predicted that there should be around 1 billion Earth-sized worlds orbiting within their stars' habitable zones in the Milky Way. If we consider there are 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe, there's a huge number of habitable, Earth-sized worlds throughout the cosmos.
And the universe, according to this new theoretical study, has only just started in the planetary production business. The last star isn't expected to fizzle out for another 100 trillion years (when the universe will continue toward its perpetual march to "heat death"), so there's lots of time left.
With the help of these observations, the researchers predict that Earth 2.0 (i.e. rocky planets of Earth-like dimensions orbiting within their stars' habitable zones) will most likely pop up inside giant galaxy clusters or dwarf galaxies where reservoirs of star-forming (and therefore planet-forming) gases are known to reside. Alas, the Milky Way's planet-forming days are numbered, as much of these gases have already been consumed during our galaxy's heady "starburst" days.
Noted by the researchers is that the advantage of being an "early" civilization evolving at this time of universal evolution is that we have the awesome opportunity to study the early stages of cosmic evolution, using space telescopes (such as Hubble) to see the early formation of galaxies and witness observable evidence for the Big Bang. For any future civilization in a trillion years time, the universe will look very different than it does now — fewer galaxies will be visible and the earliest evidence for the Big Bang (such as the cosmic microwave background radiation) will have further ebbed away.
It's interesting to ponder how an intelligent alien civilization will interpret a more mature, perpetually expanding universe lacking the cues to its origin that we take for granted today. Would they assume, lacking contradictory evidence, that the universe has always existed? And that just because the universe is expanding, it doesn't mean there had to be a Big Bang?
Of course, this is just a fun thought experiment; predicting the existence of a future alien intelligence, let alone how they may interpret their cosmic environment, is presumptuous at best. But it does pose an existential problem beyond the Fermi Paradox. If the Earth is an early bloomer, and humanity is one of the first intelligent civilizations to pop up in a universe of infinite possibilities, how might our civilization unfold?
Who knows, but it seems the universe has the boundless potential to form new worlds and new life (and new intelligences) that will potentially form long after humanity and life on Earth has come and gone, eventually succumbing to the inevitable death of our sun in about 5 billion years time. This study serves to remind us that our time as an intelligent life form in the universe is fleeting, and it seems many more intelligences will evolve long after we are gone.
Russia Announced They Have Found a Ship in the Ice
Russia Announced They Have Found a Ship in the Ice
The first class of Admiral Vladimir Prikhodko, who is currently the director of the secret organization of the Russian navy, said that powerhouses such as the U.S, China, Germany and even Russia, are investing million dollars in the outer space, to gain the ownership..
However, why we have to spend too much money and waste time to research it, if we could have a great investment in the underground to find out the true stories of our origins.
After the World War II ended, Russia has took many times to research and explore the subsistence of UFOs. Recently, they have found out some strange things like deep holes and caves which have ancient hieroglyphs and ship in the ice.
