Wormhole and Green UFO Mass Sightings Over Cape Town Trend On 

Several people reported witnessing strange bright green UFOs above Cape Town in the night sky. Hashtag #UFO has trended in Twitter as many online citizens posted about the bizarre flying objects went up.

The scene was so strange that made some to wonder if it was a wormhole or portal in the sky from another dimension.

One witness said that the mass sighting was all over Twitter, and many people posted about a green glowing disk above South Africa.

The bright disk was spotted at the Cape of Good Hope, above Cape Town. In the enlargement that this witness has made, a disk shape can be seen with glowing bottom center.

The poster claimed that it was the same UFO he spotted three years ago. He claimed to have discovered it on Google Earth map, but Google deleted it from their map after he made a video and reported it on his site.

He said, “this UFO today, looks like the same craft.”

The green UFO appears the same month when many UFO-shaped clouds were pictured over Cape Town.

Twitter user Sindelo said, “First it was those clouds, and now green orbs are seen floating around Cape Town.“

Twitter users KatlegoMaboe and FoodBlogJHb also posted about a UFO or green lights seen in Cape Town, wondered if it was real, and asked if others also saw it.

New NASA technology straight out of "Star Trek" could help scientists detect life on other worlds.

The device, dubbed the "chemical laptop," is a miniature, portable laboratory that resembles the TV show's famous tricorder scanning device, and is designed to make data collection easier and faster than ever before.

The laptop, currently in development at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, is a chemical analyzer made to detect both amino acids and fatty acids, often called "the building blocks of life," in samples from extraterrestrial terrain.

Amino acids bind together to create proteins, which are vital to almost all processes that occur within a cell, and fatty acids are an important component of cell membranes, so researchers believe finding both could indicate that life is now or was once present.

Though it's roughly the size of a regular laptop, the chemical laptop isn't like any computer on store shelves. It's much thicker, to make room for chemical analysis components inside. But perhaps the biggest difference is that this laptop doesn't shut down when it gets wet — it actually needs liquid to work.

This could be "an especially useful tool for icy-world targets such as [Saturn moon] Enceladus and [Jupiter moon] Europa," Jessica Creamer, a NASA postdoctoral fellow based at JPL, said in a statement. "All you would need to do is melt a little bit of the ice, and you could sample it and analyze it directly."

The device uses technology similar to an espresso machine to analyze a sample. It picks up a liquid or ice sample, puts it in a tube with liquid water and heats it above 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, it mixes the sample with a fluorescent dye that attaches to amino and fatty acids.

Researchers are looking to see how long the fatty acids' carbon chains are, which would indicate what kind of organisms are or were there. But they're also interested in the ratio of "left-handed" amino acids to "right-handed" amino acids.

Living things on Earth are made up almost exclusively of left-handed amino acids, but scientists believe it's possible that life on other worlds could be made of right-handed amino acids. The key is that life would create more of whichever type of amino acid it was made of, leading to a higher prevalence of one than of the other.

"If a test found a 50-50 mixture of left-handed and right-handed amino acids, we could conclude that the sample was probably not of biological origin," Creamer said in the statement. "But if we were to find an excess of either left- or right-[handed amino acids], that would be the golden ticket. That would be the best evidence so far that life exists on other planets."

The Lost Tomb of Nefertiti: Researchers are 90 percent sure that there is something behind the walls

Senior officials of the Department of Antiquities of Egypt are nearly one hundred percent convinced that there is a secret chamber in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen and it could host the final resting place of Queen Nefertiti, in what would be the “greatest discovery in Egyptology of this century”.

This statement was announced at a press conference yesterday in Luxor, after three days of intensive scanning operations in the tomb of the boy-king.

British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves, promoter of the initiative, believes in fact that the remains of Pharaoh, the boy-Pharaoh of Egypt who ruled from 1336-1327 BC, were placed in its current resting place and Nefertiti (his stepmother) was given a tomb in a secret chamber that has been hiding all along in plain sight. The King Tut, as he is popularly known, died around 1323 BC and his tomb remained nearly intact, until it was discovered in 1922 by British Egyptologist Howard Carter.

Nefertiti is one of the most legendary figures of ancient Egypt. She was Ancient Egypt’s Queen thanks to her marriage to Pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV) on which she exerted great influence contributing to political, religious, economic and a cultural revolution that broke out in the distant past once the Pharaoh replaced the traditional Egyptian polytheism with monotheistic worship of the Sun god Aten. He was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt who ruled for 17 years, and was the father of Tutankhamun. It is believed that Queen Nefertiti was the original owner of the tomb which would explain why Pharaoh Tutankhamun was buried in a small chamber that does not correspond to his status in Ancient Egypt.

Reeves postulates that the Pharaoh Tutankhamun was buried at the tomb of Nefertiti later, which would explain why archaeologists have not been able to find the resting place of one of the most prominent Queens in Ancient Egypt.

According to statements by Reeves and the Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Mahmoud to Damaty, the odds of finding Nefertiti have increased significantly.

‘We said earlier there was a 60 percent chance there is something behind the walls. But now after the initial reading of the scans, we are saying now its 90 percent likely there is something behind the walls,’ said Damaty

Japanese radar specialist Hirokatsu Watanabe said: ‘There is, in fact, an empty space behind the wall based on radar, which is very accurate, there is no doubt.’

Researches expect that within three months they will finally reach whatever is located on the other side of the walls in what is expected to be the greatest discovery of Ancient Egypt in the history of mankind.

At this point, experts are planning the best approach, warning that the smallest of incisions could cause great damage to the hidden chamber that has been hermetically sealed so long.

Reeves said: ‘The key is to excavate slowly and carefully and record well. The fact is this isn’t a race. All archaeology is disruption. We can’t go back and re-do it, so we have to do it well in the first place.’

Black Hole Has Major Flare

Supermassive black holes don't give off any light themselves, but they are often encircled by disks of hot, glowing material. The gravity of a black hole pulls swirling gas into it, heating this material and causing it to shine with different types of light. Another source of radiation near a black hole is the corona. Coronas are made up of highly energetic particles that generate X-ray light, but details about their appearance, and how they form, are unclear.

This diagram shows how a shifting feature, called a corona, can create a flare of X-rays around a black hole. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

A supermassive black hole is depicted in this artist's concept, surrounded by a swirling disk of material falling onto it. The purplish ball of light above the black hole, a feature called the corona, contains highly energetic particles that generate X-ray light. If you could view the corona with your eyes, it would appear nearly invisible since we can't see its X-ray light.

Figure 1 shows how a shifting corona can create a flare of X-rays around a black hole. The corona gathers inward (left), becoming brighter, before shooting away from the black hole (middle and right). Astronomers don't know why the coronas shift, but they have learned that this process leads to a brightening of X-ray light that can be observed by telescopes.

Normally, before a black hole's corona shifts, there is already an effect at work called relativistic boosting. As X-ray light from the corona reflects off the black hole's surrounding disk of material -- which is traveling near half the speed of light -- the X-ray light becomes brightened, as seen on the left side of the illustration. This boosting occurs on the side of the disk where the material is traveling toward us. The opposite effect, a dimming of the X-ray light, occurs on the other side of the disk moving away from us.

Another form of relativistic boosting happens when the corona shoots away from the black hole, and later collapses. Its X-ray light is also brightened as the corona travels toward us at very fast speeds, leading to X-ray flares.

In 2014, NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, and Swift space telescopes witnessed an X-flare from the supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy called Markarian 335. The observations allowed astronomers to link a shifting corona to an X-ray flare for the first time.

NuSTAR is a Small Explorer mission led by the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, also in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The spacecraft was built by Orbital Sciences Corporation, Dulles, Virginia. Its instrument was built by a consortium including Caltech; JPL; the University of California, Berkeley; Columbia University, New York; NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland; the Danish Technical University in Denmark; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California; ATK Aerospace Systems, Goleta, California, and with support from the Italian Space Agency (ASI) Science Data Center.

NuSTAR's mission operations center is at UC Berkeley, with the ASI providing its equatorial ground station located at Malindi, Kenya. The mission's outreach program is based at Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, California. NASA's Explorer Program is managed by Goddard. JPL is managed by Caltec

The Greatest Smithsonian cover up: Dozens of Giant skeletons discovered around the world

It seems that the idea that Giants walked on Earth is a possibility being considered by more people in the last couple of years. Due to the number of mysterious findings around the world, a large number of researchers is considering the possibility that these ‘mythological’ beings actually existed on Earth in the distant past.

 

Stories and tales about gigantic beings inhabiting Earth occur in almost all ancient cultures and civilizations. We can find stories in many mythologies of the ancient world: Greek, Norse, Germanic, Indian, Indo-European, and also in the new world as in the traditions of the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas; but most importantly in almost all mayor sacred books of antiquity: the Lebhar Gabhale, the Hindu Ramayana and even in the Bible.

 

 

One of those ‘crucial’ pieces of evidence is a discovery made in Wisconsin, a discovery that was omitted by researchers who remained silent and decided not to speak about the lost race of giants found in burial mounds near Lake Delavan in Wisconsin. The mysterious discovery, which was first reported in the 4 May 1912  issue of the New York Times states that at least 18 anomalous skeletons had been found in Wisconsin exhibiting extremely weird features unlike any known species to date. The excavation side was overseen by the Beloit College and included over 200 mounds. (source)

 

These anomalous skeletons were unlike anything seen before, totally differing from any known human species with alleged heights that ranged between 8 to 10 feet.

 

“…presumably those of men, are much larger than the heads of any race which inhabit America to-day.”

 

Vine Deloria, a Native American author and professor of law said:

 

“Modern day archaeology and anthropology have nearly sealed the door on our imaginations, broadly interpreting the North American past as devoid of anything unusual in the way of great cultures characterized by a people of unusual demeanor.

 

“The great interloper of ancient burial grounds, the nineteenth century Smithsonian Institution, created a one-way portal, through which uncounted bones have been spirited.

 

“This door and the contents of its vault are virtually sealed off to anyone, but government officials. Among these bones may lay answers not even sought by these officials concerning the deep past.”

 

The long lost “Fallen Angels” the Nephilim?

 

 

“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old men of renown.” Genisis 6:4

 

The Smithsonian Institute has been accused by many people of deliberately hiding discoveries that could potentially alter the views society has on history and life on Earth.

 

Discoveries of beings that are unlike any know human species have been made around the world. In 2002, a report by National Geographic state that over a dozen of giant skeletal remains were found in Greece, ranging in height between 10 and 12 feet.

 

On 10 August 1891, the New York Times reported that scientists from the Smithsonian Institution had discovered several large “pyramidal monuments” on Lake Mills, near Madison, Wisconsin.

 

“Madison was in ancient days the center of a teeming population numbering not less than 200,000,” the Times said.

 

“The celebrated mounds of Ohio and Indiana can bear no comparison, either in size, design or the skill displayed in their construction with these gigantic and mysterious monuments of earth — erected we know not by whom, and for what purpose we can only conjecture,” said the Times.

 

The mysterious stories continue throughout the years, and in 1897, the Times wrote another story about large burial mounds discovered in Maple Creek, Wisconsin. 

 

“In it was found the skeleton of a man of gigantic size. The bones measured from head to foot over nine feet and were in a fair state of preservation. The skull was as large as a half bushel measure. Some finely tempered rods of copper and other relics were lying near the bones.”

 

In 1870 the Wisconsin Decatur Republican wrote an article about two well-preserved giant skeletons of an unknown race discovered near Potosi.

 

The list of the anomalous discoveries goes on and on… and giant skeletal remains have been found in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and New York, and other places around the world. Strangely, these discoveries have never been given proper attention by the media, and most researchers consider them as being unimportant to history.

 

We cannot forget to mention the 200 million year old Giant Footprint found in Africa that hasn’t been explained by researchers who have tried very hard to ignore it since it could potentially rewrite history as we know it.

Splendours of Egypt's 'Atlantis': Lost treasures of sunken cities to go on show after more than 1,000 years submerged in the waters of the Nile delta

• Artefacts dredged up from ruins of lost cities in the Nile delta to go on display in major British Museum exhibition
• Treasures were found by divers as recently as 2012, perfectly preserved by a millennium under the sea
• Items come from the lost cities of Heracleion and Canopus, which vanished around 800AD
• Highlights include a 5.4m statue of a Nile god, a huge hieroglyphic tablet and jewellery belonging to pharaohs
• Exhibition, called Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost World, will run from May to November   

By KIERAN CORCORAN FOR MAILONLINE

Lost artefacts from sunken cities dubbed the Atlantis of Egypt are to be together for the first time after laying submerged for more than a thousand years.

Enormous statues, golden jewellery and hieroglyphic tablets which were feared lost forever have been reclaimed from the sea, and are to be put on public display next year in a major exhibition by the British Museum.

The treasures belong to Heracleion and Canopus, cities built on the shifting ground of the Nile delta, which are now buried beneath three metres of silt.

Reclaimed from the deeps: Diver Franck Goddio poses with an inscribed tablet he found in the ruins of Heracleion in Aboukir Bay, Egypt. The slab, which is 1.9m tall, will be one of the treasures on display at an upcoming British Museum exhibition of underwater treasures. It is inscribed with the decree of Saϊs, which levied a tax on imports from Greece

Strapped in: A diver secures a 5.4m statue of Hapy, a divine personification of the Nile floods, to be lifted out of the waters. The colossal red granite carving will one of the exhibition's centrepieces. The six-tonne statue, which dates to the 4th Century BC is the largest known example of a Hapy statue

Preserved: The thick silt which covered most of the reclaimed artefacts helped preserve them from centuries of decay. Pictured left is a diver uncovering the Hapy statue, which stands restored at its full 5.4m height to the right

Ancient texts record the existence of the settlements, which were the gateway to Egypt before Alexandria rose to prominence. But the two trading hubs were lost - literally - to the sands of time until a chance discovery in 1996.

Divers in the mouth of the Nile unearthed the treasures, and have spent almost two decades since painstakingly dredging them out of the deep. Highlights of the collection include a 1.9m heirogylphic tablet inscribed with a royal declaration from Pharaoh Nectanebo I and a 5.4m statue of Hapy, an Egyptian god who personifies the Nile's floods. 

The exhibition, called Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost World, will run from May to November next year. It will combine items from the Museum's own archives with items on special loan from Egyptian authorities, who rarely let the artefacts leave their country.

Around 300 items will be put on display, most of which were pulled from the sunken ruins. The exhibition will focus on the mingling of cultures in the Nile delta cities, particularly the interaction between Egypt and Ancient Greece.

Sunken treasures: A major new exhibition at the British Museum will unveil artefacts from the sunken cities of Heracleion and Canopus in the Nile Delta. A diver is pictured above after he discovered a colossal statue of the Egyptian god Hapy, a personification of the Nile floods

Sunken tablet: Hieroglyphic inscriptions, such as the one pictured above, will feature in the museum display from next May

Reclaimed: The intact Stele of Thonis-Heracleion, is pictured being carefully lifted out of the Nile delta. The inscription makes clear that it was to be placed on the site of Heracleion, a city thought lost to the sands of time, and helped archaeologists be sure that they had found the right place

Other treasures on display will include a statue of Arsinoe II, a queen in the Ptolemaic dynasty which was founded after Alexander the Great conquered the country.

Franck Goddio, the president of the European Institutue of Underwater Archaeology and a co-curator of the exhibition, said: 'My team and I, as well as the Hilti Foundation, are delighted that the exhibition with discoveries from our underwater archaeological expeditions off the coast of Egypt will be on display at the British Museum.

'It enables us to share with the public the results of years of work at the sunken cities and our fascination for ancient worlds and civilisations.

'Placing our discoveries alongside selected masterpieces from the collections of Egyptian museums, complemented by important objects from the British Museum, the exhibition presents unique insights into a fascinating period in history during which Egyptians and Greeks encountered each other on the shores of the Mediterranean.'

Heavy lifting: Divers manoeuvre a pink granite 'garden vat' discovered among the silty ruins of Heracleion

Digging deep: A diver brushes away remains from a cow's jaw bone found at the site of Canopus

Golden: This necklace, a so-called pectoral decorated with lapis lazuli and glass, is another loan item from the Egyptian Museum which will be brought to London. The item dates from as early as 940BC and belonged to Pharaoh Sheshonk II

On display: These two life-size statues will also be on display - left is an Osiris, dating from the seventh century BC, which is being loaned from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. To the right is a statue of Arsinoe II, a Ptolemaic queen, depicted as the goddess Isis

Gift for the gods: Divers also found several model boats, pictured above, which were metal replicas of tiny papyrus vessels which Egyptians would have set sail at the temple of Amun-Gereb as an offering

Sleeping with the fishes: Huge columns lay underwater in the ruins of Canopus, which were found 2km east of the Nile delta

Added in: The exhibition will display items showing the mingling of Greek and Egyptian cultures. Pictured is a statue of the Egyptian bull god Apis dating the the reign of Roman emperor Hadrian. It will be loaned from the Greco-Roman Museum  in Alexandria

Discovery: An Egyptian sailor watches over a Sphinx (left) dredged up from the Delta in 2001. Pictured right is an image of the god Osiris found in the dives

Colorful UFO in Surrey B.C. Canada November 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: November 2015
Location of sighting: Surrey, British Colombia, Canada

This colorful UFO is something to see, but don't let the lights fool you. Often people say that the colors mean its fake. Actually a police officer recorded such a colourful disk landing in front of his squad car on dash cam, so I would say it is possible.

Eyewitness states:
Spotted this from my bedroom window this evening - November 29, 2015. Approx time 11:30PM. At first I thought it was a helicopter, but it wasn't moving in any particular direction. With my camera in hand I went out back, and this is what I captured. The more I zoomed in, the harder it was to stay still and keep the "UFO" centered. It wasn't moving around - that's my lack of tri-pod :P LOL Though near the end I did notice that it started moving away from me. As I write this, it's no where in sight.

Watch Strange Lights In UFO Formation Over Conroe, Texas

It’s something very strange that some suspect it as alien. A strikingly odd, sparkling pattern of lights was photographed above Texas – making online speculations about the extraterrestrial visit.
The two-minute video apparently shows bizarre lights flashing on and off over a building. John Hernandez captured the alien activity on video.

In the video, Hernandez says, “What is that? I don’t know…there’s something falling out of the sky Dad.” The witnesses decide to turn off the lights to see the lights better. The views become more visible and appear to be brighter in the sky after turning off the lights.

Hernandez’ father replies, “looks like fireworks“. He adds, “I don’t know what that is.”

Many viewers have suggested that the pattern of lights could be military flares, but Finding UFO and other similar YouTube channels would typically present the idea of little green men involvement.

Reagan and Gorbachev Agreed to Pause the Cold War in Case of an Alien Invasion

The 40th President of the United States was a big science-fiction fan

image: http://thumbs.media.smithsonianmag.com//filer/07/16/0716f95f-a8f9-4477-acd4-28be148f93dc/ih036561.jpg__800x600_q85_crop.jpg

t one point during the 1985 Geneva Summit, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev took a break from negotiations to take a walk. Only their private interpreters were present and for years, the details of what they talked about were kept secret from both the Russian and American public. But during a 2009 interview with Charlie Rose and Reagan’s Secretary of State George Shultz, Gorbachev revealed that Reagan asked him point-blank if they could set aside their differences in case the world was invaded by aliens.

As Jimmy Orr reported for the Christian Science Monitor at the time:

Shultz was talking about the Lake Geneva summit and mentioned the two leaders ducked out of a meeting to take a walk to a nearby cabin.

"I wasn't there...," Shultz said before Gorbachev cut him off.

"From the fireside house, President Reagan suddenly said to me, 'What would you do if the United States were suddenly attacked by someone from outer space? Would you help us?'

"I said, 'No doubt about it.'"

"He said, 'We too.'"

"So that's interesting," Gorbachev said to much laughter.

As far as we know, aliens never tried to take over the planet during the 1980s, so Reagan and Gorbachev’s informal agreement wasn’t put to the test. But perhaps unsurprisingly for a president whose nuclear deterrent plan was nicknamed “Star Wars,” Reagan was a big science-fiction fan. He had grown up reading Edgar Rice Burroughs’ epic science-fiction novels, whose characters included John Carter of Mars and Tarzan, Lauren Davis reports for io9.

Once in awhile, Davis continues, Reagan's nerdy tastes in books influenced how he governed. During his tenure in the White House, Reagan relied on The Citizens' Advisory Council on National Space Policy, a think tank made up of astronauts, engineers and even science-fiction writers like Robert Heinlein and Jerry Pournelle, for advice on future technology and the emerging importance of space policy. In fact, the Council even helped to draft parts of Reagan’s first speech introducing the “Star Wars” program.

It’s hard to say how serious Reagan was when he asked Gorbachev if the Soviets would help fight off an alien invasion, but he was far from the first government official to mull over out-of-this-world fighting tactics. During the 1950s and ‘60s, a group of U.S. Army engineers was tasked with thinking up theoretical weapons that could be used to defend non-existent lunar bases. And recently, Anatoly Zak reports for Popular Mechanics, the Russian government revealed that in the 1970s, the Soviet Almaz space station was not only armed with a top-secret space cannon, but it was also test-fired.

Is Earth a Prison?

Science has proven that “hominids” have lived on this planet for a very long time. It has also proven that Homo Sapiens Sapiens (Cro-Magnon or Modern man) have not. Our ancestors arrived here as interstellar prisoners approximately fifty thousand years ago. Like our ancestors, we are prone to criminal behavior and mental illness. It is an inescapable part of our basic human nature. It is not our fault, but rather that of deviated genetic code. There is not a single human who is free of violent, lustful, vengeful, thieving and/or murderous thoughts. The horrors that humans experience on this planet are almost always caused by mankind. Humans lie, steal, cheat, rape, murder and pollute. When they can no longer exert more dominion over land and animal, they victimize their own kind. We are a horrible menace to ourselves, to all the creatures of this planet and to interstellar civilization.

Earth was chosen to become a prison planet because of its remote location, and the ability to support hominid life forms. Each “race” of our ancestors were placed on different continents, selected for similarities to their former climatic environments. Even though the races varied in language, size, shape and color, all were Cro-Magnon. Though reduced to a primal state before placement, our ancestors not only survived, they thrived. They immediately began to dominate everything that came into their path. And, the sudden terrestrial appearance of modern man was on a scale so large, that it allowed Cro-Magnoids to drive Neanderthals, who had been at the top of Earth’s food chain for well over 200,000 years, to global extinction within just a few thousand years.
