Globular clusters such as Terzan 1 (shown here) contain some of the oldest known stars.

Astronomers may be looking for alien life in all the wrong places. They should be hunting in the dense, old neighbourhoods of stars known as globular clusters, a new study suggests.

Until now, scientists have largely discounted the idea of finding extraterrestrial civilizations in globular clusters, which each contain thousands to millions of stars. Only one of the thousands of known extrasolar planets occurs in such a cluster, and many astronomers think that gravitational interactions among the tightly packed stars would have long ago hurled any accompanying planets into deep space.

But the proximity of all those stars may actually be an advantage for supporting life, says Rosanne Di Stefano, a theoretical astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lots of closely packed stars could also mean lots of planetary systems not very far from one another. “If there is an advanced society in an environment like that, it could set up outposts relatively easily, because we’re dealing with distances that are so much shorter,” she says.

With such networking, civilizations in a globular cluster might endure for billions of years, and thus be available for humans to communicate with today or in the future.

Di Stefano reported the work — which she did with Alak Ray of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, India — on 6 January at an American Astronomical Society meeting in Kissimmee, Florida.

Fertile ground?

In contrast to the defined architecture of a galaxy, globular clusters contain blobs of stars that hover together like swarms of fireflies. The Milky Way is home to about 150 globular clusters, which contain some of the oldest known stars — dating back 10 billion years or more.

In 1974, scientists beamed one of the most famous SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) messages to the globular cluster M13, using the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico. But in the decades since, globular clusters have fallen out of favour for SETI hunts. The only planet known to reside in a globular cluster orbits an ancient pulsar, an environment unfriendly for life¹. And targeted searches have failed to turn up more exoplanets in these clusters². 

But that does not mean that such planets do not exist, says Luca Pasquini, an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory in Garching, Germany. He and his colleagues found planets in an open cluster, a group of stars that is typically billions of years younger and less densely packed than globular clusters³. Astronomers had been sceptical of finding planets in open clusters until they looked, he notes; for globular clusters, he says, “there is room for very exciting discoveries” if astronomers continue to probe.

Stellar sweet spot

DiStefano and Ray began their work after thinking about the advantages that a globular cluster could offer alien life. If a civilization is close to another star system, “interstellar travel becomes a whole different thing,” DiStefano says. Civilizations could theoretically hop from star to star if threatened by cosmic dangers or extinction.

This ease of travel, combined with the ancient age of globular clusters, suggests that intelligent life could exist in these systems longer than in many other places, DiStefano adds. “The civilization might eventually be destroyed,” she adds, “but it would have a better opportunity at transferring members of itself and its knowledge.”

By analyzing the distances between stars in various globular clusters, DiStefano and Ray identified a “sweet spot” where conditions would be stable enough for a planet to form and survive for billions of years. The sweet spot varies from cluster to cluster, but corresponds to an interstellar distance of roughly to 100 to 1,000 times the Earth-Sun distance. If stars are spaced at roughly this distance within a cluster, then civilizations on planets around those stars would not have all that far to travel — or to communicate — with the next star system.

Finding these hypothetical planets is the next challenge. Di Stefano has a list of globular clusters she would like planet hunters to target, topped by one called Terzan 5 near the center of the Milky Way.

Science-fiction readers would be more than happy for her to find some. Isaac Asimov’s classic short story “Nightfall” involves a civilization that lives in a globular cluster, and then loses its collective mind when all six of its suns set at once.

WATCH: UFO filmed entering ‘swirling portal’ over Large Hadron Collider

IT HAS been the fear of some that the mysterious Large Hadron Collider may one day accidentally create a black hole that would swallow the Earth or open a portal to another dimension through which some evil entity or aliens would emerge.

The Westall ‘UFO’ incident still remains a mystery 50 years after it occurred

The truth is out there.

It’s the mystery that has left an Australian suburb divided with witnesses wanting answers.

This year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Westall Incident and those involved are no closer to finding out what occurred on that fateful autumn morning.

It was 11.00am on April 6, 1966, when Australia’s largest mass UFO sighting took place.

Students and teachers from Westall High School and Westall State School, and members of the public claim to have watched as three metallic objects with no obvious markings manoeuvred silently through the sky.

The objects landed in a paddock adjacent to the schools before quickly flying away, leaving large circles of flattened grass with well-defined, discoloured edges behind.

In the hours following the incident, emergency services, the military and the media were in attendance trying to make sense of the baffling encounter.

Several witnesses claim sharply-dressed men in dark suits warned them from speaking about the incident.

The warnings failed to have an effect with a number of witnesses sharing their accounts.

The Dandenong Journal ran with coverage of the incident on its front page for consecutive issues and Nine News also reported the story on its 6.00pm bulletin.

However, the film canister containing the footage from the incident has since been found empty in the station archives.

Despite the initial coverage and a number of possible explanations, the incident still remains shrouded in mystery.

WITNESS ACCOUNTS

Researcher Shane Ryan has spent the last decade of his life investigating the incident and after speaking with more than 100 primary witnesses, he believes something strange occurred.

“It was so unusual ... it occurred in broad daylight and had been seen by so many people landing on the ground, before taking off again,” he told news.com.au

“The event was obviously sizeable enough to muster a big response. Whatever it was that happened led to government agencies examining the site and taking soil samples.”

Mr Ryan said he believes there has been a concerted effort to keep the incident under wraps.

“[The media] kept meeting an official wall of silence, so it just stopped being a story and only remained as a memory for those involved,” he said.

Joy Clarke was 12 and a half at the time and vividly remembers the events that occurred that day.

“I was in class when students rushed in and told us the story. We rushed down to the oval and I saw three flying saucers on that day,” she told news.com.au

“My personal belief is they weren’t of this world. They were definitely from somewhere else because I have never seen anything like it all.

“The army had arrived and the police were there. We were told we were hysterical and it didn’t happen, while men in black interviewed some of the other kids.”

Terry Peck was playing cricket on the school oval when she saw the saucer and decided to chase it to Grange Reserve.

“I was about six metres away from it. It was bigger than a car and circular. I think I saw some lights underneath it,” she told the Herald Sun.

“Two girls were there before me. One was terribly upset and they were pale, really white, ghostly white. They just said they had passed out, fainted. One was taken to hospital in an ambulance.”

The now-56-year-old said no time was wasted in covering up the incident.

“We all got called to an assembly ... and they told us all to keep quiet,” she said.

“I’d absolutely just like someone to come forward from the services just to say ‘yes, it did happen, and it landed and there was a cover-up’.’’

Jacqueline Argent said she was one of the first three kids over the fence to look for the UFO landing site.

“Originally I thought it must have been an experimental-type aircraft, but nothing has emerged like that after all these years,’’ she said.

The now-58-year-old told how she was called into the headmaster’s office and interrogated by three men immediately following the incident.

“They had good-quality suits and were well-spoken,” she said.

“They said, ‘I suppose you saw little green men’.

“I spoke to my parents about it at the time and they were pretty outraged.’’

Stephen Cairns also claims to have witnessed the strange phenomenon.

The then-seven-year-old was living in Dandenong and walking to school with his mother after a dentist appointment when it occurred.

“In the distance I saw a silvery disc-like object. However, at first, it was so far away I was not quite sure what it was,” he told news.com.au

“The silvery disc-like object moved with amazing speed until it was directly above us ... it hovered for a few moments then, as quickly as it came, it flew away.”

Suesan Crosthwaite, Pauline Kelly, Terry Peck and Kevin Hurley can remember vividly the 6th of April 1966 when mysterious flying objects flew overhead and landed a short distance away.

LOGICAL EXPLANATION

Although federal and state government agencies refused to comment about the incident at the time, government documents unearthed in 2014 offer an explanation for the sighting.

The documents revealed a secret radiation-testing project known as the HIBAL program — a joint US-Australian initiative developed to monitor atmospheric radiation levels using large silver balloons equipped with sensors between 1960 and 1969.

Each balloon was equipped with a 180kg payload and was followed by a light aircraft tasked with tracking it and triggering its 12m parachute via radio signal.

Researcher Keith Basterfield said examinations of the documents held by the National Archives and former Department of Supply indicate the mysterious flying object may have been a test balloon that was blown off course after being launched from Mildura.

“My hypothesis is that the incident involved not a UFO, but a high altitude balloon, its parachute and large payload,” he told News Corp.

“The Westall object was described as being a white/silver colour which could describe the colour of an HIBAL balloon or parachute.”

After performing a close review of all available documentation, including that searched through Freedom of Information laws, Mr Basterfield believes HIBAL flight number 292 to be the real culprit.

They are walking among us International UFO Congress gathers

However, he admits he can’t be certain because the paperwork for the launches scheduled for the day before the Westall incident appears to have been lost or destroyed.

“What is strikingly missing is a memo reporting on the actual four launches for April 1966, one of which was scheduled for April 5, 1966, the day before Westall,” he said.

“So we have no (official) knowledge of where flight 292 went.”

When asked about the balloon theory, fellow researcher Mr Ryan said he had his doubts.

“Nothing was collected or picked up from the site as far as witnesses are aware,” he told news.com.au.

“The flying saucer came down and took off again, flying at high speed leaving behind large circles with a well-defined edge around perimeter.

“When a balloon becomes deflated and the gondola goes down, nothing like that happens.”

Hazel Edwards was an English and maths teacher at Westall High on the day of the incident and believes it has been blown out of proportion.

The self-proclaimed skeptic suggests overly excited kids made up the story and were responsible for the media hype.

“I think there were a lot of kids that were hyped up,” she told news.com.au

“Look at the so-called evidence, most of it is just hearsay.”

Mr Ryan said while he is open to the idea of a down-to-earth explanation, none so far seems to fit the bill.

“What we’re hoping for is someone in an official capacity coming forward and talking about what happened.”

The landing site has since been turned into a memorial park to reflect the 1966 Westall UFO Incident.

Mysterieuze ruimtebollen vallen uit de lucht in Vietnam

Het Vietnamese leger doet momenteel onderzoek naar de herkomst van drie metalen bollen die in het noorden van het land uit de lucht zijn gevallen.

Het grootste object weegt zo’n 45 kilo en is ontdekt in de provincie Tuyên Quang, meldt de websiteThanh Nien News. Een tweede bol kwam neer in een tuin in de provincie Yên Bái. De lichtste van de drie bollen kwam terecht op een dak en rolde vervolgens op de grond.

Ruimtebol van 45 kilo in Vietnam (VietnamNet)

Lokale bewoners hoorden vlak voordat de bollen werden gevonden een hard geluid dat deed denken aan donderslag. Het Vietnamese ministerie van Defensie vermoedt dat de objecten afkomstig zijn van een vliegtuig of raket. Ze zouden ongevaarlijk zijn.

Het ministerie zei dat de bollen gemaakt zijn in Rusland, maar voegde toe dat onduidelijk is of ze later zijn verkocht aan een ander land.

Ruimtevaartexpert professor Nguyen Khoa Son denkt dat de bollen onderdeel vormden van een oude satelliet die niet is opgebrand in de aardatmosfeer. Hij vertelde aan de website Vietnam Bridge dat de objecten niet beschadigd lijken te zijn, wat wijst in de richting van een mislukte satellietlancering.

The Aurora Incident

by James L. Choro

One hundred and seven-odd years ago, a most unusual incident occurred in the tiny North Texas town of Aurora. It was here that one of the earliest documented encounters with an alien life form took place, in the early morning hours of April 19, 1897. 

Aurora, Texas, is literally "the town that almost was" as the town’s tiny history book states, and one of its few, if not its only, claim to fame is the burial site of an alien pilot that crashed there in his “airship”, the most memorable event in a string of UFO sightings which covered a three state area between 1895 and 1898.

Aurora is located just off US 287 west of Rhome, about a mile south, on State Highway 114 to Bridgeport. There is a sign beside the highway that says CEMETERY, and points south toward the graveyard. Interestingly enough, the historical marker at the site actually includes the word "spaceship". Newspapers, along with diaries and letters by local residents, reported that an alien craft hit a windmill and was torn to pieces, along with its occupant in April, 1897. A 1986 movie, "The Aurora Encounter," produced by Charles B. Pierce, tells the tale. The official historical marker was installed by the State of Texas, and although nobody knows exactly where the grave is located, it is certain that the alien was, in fact, buried in the Aurora Cemetery, after the efforts of the local doctor failed to save it’s life following the crash. There is, unfortunately, no sign of the tombstone. It was stolen some years ago and never recovered. There are, however, picture records of its existence. There is currently a renewed movement in town to exhume the body of the alien, replace the headstone and do a complete search for remains of the crash. Also, there have been several interesting pieces of metal found in the area that have been confiscated for analysis by the military and never returned.

The historical marker reads as follows:

“Aurora Cemetery”

“The oldest known graves, here, dating from as early as the 1860s, are those of the Randall and Rowlett families. Finis Dudley Beauchamp (1825-1893), a Confederate veteran from Mississippi, donated the 3-acre site to the newly- formed Aurora Lodge No. 479, A. F. & A.M., in 1877. For many years, this community burial ground was known as Masonic Cemetery. Beauchamp, his wife Caroline (1829-1915), and others in their family are buried here. An epidemic which struck the village in 1891 added hundreds of graves to the plot. Called "Spotted Fever" by the settlers, the disease is now thought to be a form of meningitis. Located in Aurora Cemetery is the gravestone of the infant Nellie Burris (1891-1893) with its often-quoted epitaph: "As I was so soon done, I don't know why I was begun." This site is also well-known because of the legend that a spaceship crashed nearby in 1897 and the pilot, killed in the crash, was buried here. Struck by epidemic and crop failure and bypassed by the railroad, the original town of Aurora almost disappeared, but the cemetery remains in use with over 800 graves. Veterans of the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the Korean and Vietnam conflicts are interred here”.

*********************************************

Aurora brings up images of high-speed space travel. In fact, the newest space shuttle in the NASA fleet is named 'Aurora' after the UFO incident that took place in 1897. In 1997, the 100th anniversary of the crash of the unknown “airship” in Aurora, the TV show "Sightings" brought renewed interest to the topic with a special called “One Hundred Years of UFO Cover-ups”, that featured the crash, the efforts of the local doctor to help the dying alien, and the burial of his body in the town cemetery.

This incident has been covered up and ridiculed by the U.S. Government (a standard operating procedure of the MAJESTIC 12 group) and has been widely reported to be a hoax (a weather balloon?). This, to say the least, sounds a lot like Roswell in 1947? The US government has a long history of cover-ups in regards to such occurrences. It is hoped that the current, renewed interest in the incident will last, and that a new investigation will clear up the Aurora event for good, although much time has passed. It is tragic that most, if not all of the original witnesses are long dead, for, at one time, up until around the early seventies, there were quite a few people still living who had been children at the time and not only remember the crash, but remember a rash of “airship” sightings, all over East and North-Central Texas, as well as the stories which were passed down to them from their “elders”. Almost everyone who grew up in those parts of the state have heard stories from their grandparents, or other “old folks” about such events, many of whom were “substantial” citizens, including doctors, clergymen, judges, army personnel, sheriffs and other professionals.

The Aurora crash was, in fact, the culminating event in a rash of “airship” sightings in East and Northeast Texas, Oklahoma, North and Central Louisiana in the period between 1895 and 1898. Robert Atkinson, of Center, Texas, a veteran of the Spanish American War, often told of seeing, as a teenager, strange, “flashing lights” in the sky, as did Polk Burns of the same city. Similar incidents were recountered by Bud Knight, a prominent resident of San Augustine, Texas, who died in 1981 at the age of 108. Lee Choron, who died in 1976 at the age of 94 recalled seeing “moving lights flashing in the sky” while living in Swift, Texas (near Nacogdoches) while in his “teens”. Nor, were civic records and town newspapers of the time completely silent on the matter. Reports, although not common, do exist. On April 22, 1897 in the small central Texas town of Rockland, John M. Barclay was intrigued when his dog barked furiously and a high-pitched noise was heard. He went out, saw a flying object circling about 20 feet above ground. He described it as having an elongated shape, with protrusions and blinding lights, it went dark when it landed, only a short distance from his home. Barclay was met by a man who informed him that his purpose was peaceful and requested some common hardware items to repair the craft. He paid with a ten-dollar bill and took off "like a bullet out of a gun." 

On that same day, April 22, 1897, some one hundred miles away, in the community of Josserand, Texas, Frank Nichols, who lived some five miles east of Josserand, and was one of its most respected citizens, was awakened by what he called a “machine noise”. Looking outside, he saw a heavy, lighted object land in his wheat field. He walked toward it, but was stopped by two men who asked permission to draw water from his well. He then had a discussion with half a dozen “short, dark men” men, apparently the crew of the strange machine. He was told how it worked but could not follow the explanation. 

Three days later, on April 25, 1897, in Merkel, Texas. People returning from church served a heavy object being dragged along the ground by a rope or cable, attached to a “cigar shaped” lying craft. As the assembled crowd watched, the line managed to get caught in a railroad track. The craft was too high for its structure to be visible but protrusions and a light could be distinguished. After the craft hovered in place for about 10 minutes, a man came down along the rope cut the end free, and went back aboard the craft, which flew away toward the northeast. The man was described by all witnesses, as being small and dressed in a light blue uniform.

The next day, late in the evening of April 26, 1897, near the town of Aquila, in South Texas. A local lawyer, whose name was not reported by the press, was surprised to see a lighted object fly quietly overhead as he was riding from his office to his home, just outside the city limits. His horse was scared and nearly toppled his carriage. The object was large, and “oblong”, and sported a bright light that was observed to be sweeping the ground below the object. When the main light was turned off, a number of smaller lights became visible on the underside of the dark colored, metallic craft, which revealed an elongated, transparent canopy. It continued forward, toward a hill, some seven miles to the south of Aquila. When the witness passed the same way, approximately one hour later, he saw the object rising. It reached the altitude of the cloud ceiling and flew to the northeast at a fantastic speed with periodic flashes of light. 

These accounts, all given by respectable witnesses, separated by several hundred miles, yet all in a direct line with Aurora, describe a very similar object. It must be remembered that in 1897, distances were much greater than they are today, and news traveled at a much slower rate. It is inconceivable that there could have been any collusion between witnesses, and highly unlikely that people living in towns separated by several hundred miles, could have heard news or read accounts of happenings in other towns within the space of two or three days. This was a time, it must be remembered, when most news traveled by wire, or by railroad, and unless there was a critical need for residents of one region to have news of another, the expense of wiring such news was avoided. 

Much may be made, in some quarters of the “quaint” descriptions given of the object… it, indeed, must be a single object, or at least identical objects… such as the presence of “machine noises” and “ropes”. This is perfectly understandable in light of the fact that this was a time before sophisticated machinery, especially sophisticated flying machinery was common, or even, for that matter, known. It would be six years before the Wright Brothers would take their first, halting, leap above the ground, and the dirigible airships of such pioneers as the Count von Zeplein, were in the very early stages of development, a continent and an ocean away. Certainly no native ofEast, Central or South Texas had ever seen such an object. It is highly unlikely that very many of them had even heard of such things. Science Fiction of the day was limited to the works of Jules Verne, and the very early works of Herbert George Wells, and it is unlikely in the extreme that residents of a tiny Texas town, only a few years removed from fighting for it’s survival with the Apaches and Comanches would have access to such current works.

The point, is this. The residents of Aquila, Hillsboro, Merkel, Jossarand, Nacogdoches, Swift and Aurora, would describe what they saw in terms that they understood, and could relate to. Any unusual sound, emanating from an obviously “manmade” object would be described as a “machine sound”. Likewise, any form of line, tie-down or connector would be described as a rope, cable or line. A classic example of such a description would be the existence of the “cargo” cults of the South Pacific… religious sects of islanders who being members of a pre-industrial, stone age culture, worship the airplanes that their ancestors first saw during the Second World War, and revere the crews as Gods who brought gifts… “cargo” from the sky. Far fetched? Not at all. Imagine how anyone living today might describe an object from a thousand years or, or so, in our own future.

It is also worthwhile, at this point, to repeat the fact that people of this time and place, late 19th Century Texas, were extremely conservative in nature, skeptical by necessity, and most unlikely to take off on flights of fancy. There would simply be nothing to be gained from concocting a story concerning such a thing as an “airship." They would not only not be believed, their sanity, sobriety and competence would have come into serious question. Unlike today, when, as one must admit, such accounts are commonly hoaxed as an attempt to gain attention and momentary fame, this simply would not have been the case in 1897. The most likely result of such a story, unless absolutely and verifiably true would have been shunning by the community as the “village idiot” or as the “town drunk”. Worse, in the primarily Protestant Fundamentalist religious atmosphere of the time, which, by the way, has changed but little since that time, one would have been considered “blasphemous”, “sacrilegious” and possibly even “Satanic”, and definitely shunned by most “upright” and “upstanding” citizens of the community.

The old “Judge Proctor” place in Aurora, site of the crash, is still locatable, and the town square is still in its original position, but unfortunately most of the original buildings of the town, those dating to the 1890s, are long gone.

Aurora Encounter Forum:

• Subject: Aurora, Texas alien 
  I am the great-great-great granddaughter of Finis Dudley Beauchamp. Dudley is the person who donated the family cemetery to the town of Aurora. My great grandmother, Robbie Reynolds, was the 91 year old person that so many of the online articles mention as having been interviewed in the 1970's.
  
  As much as I wish the whole story were true, the fact of the matter is, it's not. My great-grandmother and I were very close. She said that the whole story was a hoax, and the original interview included that. I'm not sure how the story went from her saying it was a hoax to the story that her parents went to check out the situation, and wouldn't allow her to go. In your article you mention that most people of the time were illiterate. I know for sure that my great-grandmother and her mother and father could read and write very well. I also know that Robbie Townsend, the woman for whom my great grandmother was named, was a teacher. 
  
  I know the truth isn't nearly as cool as the stories that have been told for the last 100 years. I just wanted to set the story straight. -Sincerely, Robbie Fields, El Paso, Texas, April 09, 2005
  
  
• The Aurora story is a total hoax as far as I'm concerned. I spent eight hours searching at the cemetery where the alien is supposed to be buried and found nary a grave. Even if the headstone had been stolen you would think that some one would put something in it's place so people would at least know where he is buried. Plus it is said that photos exist of the headstone but none are ever posted on the internet. We have an eyewitness account that is completely false. The great granddaughter of the woman who supposedly witnessed it said that her grandmother had said it was a hoax at the time she was interviewed but instead it said she is quoted as saying she remember it happening as though it was real. As for the newspaper article in the Dallas Morning News I have searched their archives and no such article exists or was ever written. The only thing about Aurora in that days paper is the farm report. Also mentioned is the city's town square. Unless it was totally demolished in the last few years it doesn't exist either. I drove every road in and out of town and at some point I would have found the town square but never did. This is a very small town. If traveling on highway 114 you pass through the town in about 2:30 min and that's going 45 mph. I doubt one could miss a town square. The newspaper article in all websites but two I've seen credit it to a E.E. Hayden and on the other two the say it was written by a S.E. Haydon who was an amateur writer who wrote the story as a fictional account to help revitalize a dying community. I never found signs of an old military airfield although there is a road in town that is called old base road which seems to [suggest] there was some sort of base in the area. The town doesn't seem to be laid out in base fashion - it just looks like a very small country town with a population of 376. No town to speak of - just farms and houses no main street or town square. If any one can give me better geographic info I would be glad to go out there again and see what I can find because I could never find the "old Proctor place." If someone knows where these things are send it to me and I'll investigate. - Tomy Dudley, tomylee@rock.com, December 27, 2005

ANTARCTICA: NASA IMAGES REVEAL TRACES OF ANCIENT HUMAN SETTLEMENT UNDERNEATH 2.3 KM OF ICE

ARCHEOLOGY

WASHINGTON | Recently released remote sensing photography of NASA’s Operation IceBridge mission in Antarctica led to a fascinating discovery when images revealed what some experts believe could be the existence of a possible ancient human settlement lying beneath an impressive 2.3 kilometers of ice.

The intriguing discovery was made during aircraft tests trials of NASA’s Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) lidar technology set to be launched on the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) in 2017, that aims to monitor changes in polar ice.

“There’s very little margin for error when it comes to individual photons hitting on individual fiber optics, that is why we were so surprised when we noticed these abnormal features on the lidar imagery,” explains Nathan Borrowitz, IceBridge’s project scientist and sea ice researcher with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

“As of now we can only speculate as to what these features are but the launching of ICESat-2 in 2017 could lead to other major discoveries and a better understanding of Antarctica’s geomorphological features” he adds.

Although NASA scientist Nathan Borrowitz claims the infrared images are definitely intriguing, other experts claim they are clearly the proof of ancient human engineering

A human settlement buried under 2.3 km of ice

Leading archeologist, Ashoka Tripathi, of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Calcutta believes the images show clear evidence of an ancient human settlement beneath the ice sheet.

“These are clearly features of some sort of human-made structure, resembling some sort of pyramidal structure. The patterns clearly show nothing we should expect from natural geomorphological formations found in nature. We clearly have here evidence of human engineering. The only problem is that these photographs were taken in Antarctica under 2 kilometers of ice. That is clearly the puzzling part, we do not have any explanation for this at the moment,” he admits.

“These pictures just reflect a small portion of Antarctica’s total land mass. There are possibly many other additional sites that are covered over with ice. It just shows us how easy it is to underestimate both the size and scale of past human settlements,” says Dr Tripathi.

Remnants of a lost civilization

Historian and cartographer at the University of Cambridge, Christopher Adam, believes there might be a rationnal explanation.

The map of Turkish admiral Piri Reis in 1513 AD shows the “ice less” coastline of Antarctica

“One of histories most puzzling maps is that of the Turkish admiral Piri Reis in 1513 AD which successfully mapped the coastline of Antarctica over 1,000 years ago. What is most fascinating about this map is that it shows the coastline of Antarctica without any ice. How is this possible when images of the subglacial coastline of Antarctica were only seen for the first time after the development of ground-penetrating radar in 1958? Is it possible Antarctica has not always been covered under such an ice sheet? This could be evidence that it is a possibility” he acknowledges.

« A slight pole shift or displacement of the axis of rotation of the Earth in historical times is possibly the only rational explanation that comes to mind but we definitely need more research done before we jump to any conclusion.”

ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2), part of NASA’s Earth Observing System, is a planned satellite mission for measuring ice sheet mass elevation, sea ice freeboard as well as land topography and vegetation characteristics, and is set to launch in may 2017.

Evidence for new state of hydrogen: Discovery gives glimpse of conditions found on other planets

Evidence for new state of hydrogen: Discovery gives glimpse of conditions found on other planets

Scientists have recreated an elusive form of the material that makes up much of the giant planets in our solar system, and the sun.

Experiments have given a glimpse of a previously unseen form of hydrogenthat exists only at extremely high pressures - more than 3 million times that of Earth's atmosphere.

Hydrogen - which is among the most abundant elements in the Universe - is thought to be found in this high-pressure form in the interiors of Jupiter and Saturn.

Researchers around the world have been trying for years to create this form of the element, known as the metallic state, which is considered to be the holy grail of this field of physics. It is believed that this form of hydrogen makes up most of the interiors of Jupiter and Saturn.

The metallic and atomic form of hydrogen, formed at elevated pressures, was first theorised to exist 80 years ago. Scientists have tried to confirm this in lab experiments spanning the past four decades, without success. In this latest study from a team of physicists at the University of Edinburgh, researchers used a pair of diamonds to squeeze hydrogen molecules to record pressures, while analysing their behaviour.

They found that at pressures equivalent to 3.25 million times that of Earth's atmosphere, hydrogen entered a new solid phase - named phase V - and started to show some interesting and unusual properties. Its molecules began to separate into single atoms, while the atoms' electrons began to behave like those of a metal.

The team says that the newly found phase is only the beginning of the molecular separation and that still higher pressures are needed to create the pure atomic and metallic state predicted by theory.

The study, published in Nature, was supported by a Leadership Fellowship from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

Professor Eugene Gregoryanz, of the University of Edinburgh's School of Physics and Astronomy, who led the research, said: "The past 30 years of the high-pressure research saw numerous claims of the creation of metallic hydrogen in the laboratory, but all these claims were later disproved. Our study presents the first experimental evidence that hydrogen could behave as predicted, although at much higher pressures than previously thought. The finding will help to advance the fundamental and planetary sciences."

Chinezen bouwen drone die passagier kan vervoeren - HLN.be

Bron: AP

Het Chinese bedrijf Ehang Inc. stelde gisteren tijdens de CES gadgetbeurs in Las Vegas de eerste drone ter wereld voor die plaats biedt aan een passagier.

© ap.

De aanwezigen konden in een filmpje zien hoe de drone vliegt. Hij ziet eruit als een kleine helikopter, maar met vier dubbele propellers die parallel met de grond draaien, net zoals andere drones. 

De drone, die vliegt op elektriciteit, kan volledig opgeladen worden op twee uur tijd, 100 kilogram vervoeren en 23 minuten lang vliegen op zeeniveau. In de drone is plaats voor één persoon en een kleine rugzak. Het toestel heeft zelfs airco en een leeslamp. Wanneer de propellers naar binnen vouwen, past het voertuig in een standaard parkeerplaats. Nadat ze de vluchtroute hebben ingegeven, moeten passagiers via de tablet slechts twee commando's geven: "stijg op" en "land". 

De drone is ontwikkeld om zo'n 300 à 500 meter boven de grond te vliegen, op een maximale hoogte van 3500 meter en aan een topsnelheid van 100 kilometer per uur. 

Shiang Hsiao, medeoprichter en CFO van Ehang zegt dat het bedrijf de drone voor 185.000 à 275.000 euro nog dit jaar op de markt wil brengen. De man erkent echter dat er op vlak van wetgeving nog veel onduidelijkheid is: "de wereld heeft nooit eerder zoiets als dit gezien," zei hij. 

Passagiers hebben zelf geen controle over het voertuig. Het bedrijf wil een controlecentrum oprichten dat in geval van problemen de drone overneemt en ervoor zorgt dat het toestel veilig landt, aldus Hsiao. 

Volgens marketingdirecteur Derrick Xiong heeft de drone al meer dan honderd proefvluchten uitgevoerd, waarvan meerdere keren met een passagier. De vier propellers maken de drone veiliger dan een helikopter, beweert hij. 

De firma die ook kleinere drones produceert, maakte in augustus bekend dat ze 42 miljoen dollar had ingezameld van verschillende investeerders in aanvulling op de 10 miljoen dollar die werd opgehaald in 2014.

Human Hybrids Are Real! SHOCKING SECRET LEAKED!

Russia’s Mysterious ‘Ark Of Gabriel’ WEAPON – Now On Route To Antarctica

A shocking report which was apparently produced by the Russian Ministry Of Defence (MOD) has been circulating around the Kremlin.  This mind boggling report states that two satellites of the Aerospace Forces, are being used for the protection of the Russian Federation military research vessel, Admiral Vladimisky, which has recently left the Saudi Arabian Port of Jeddah, apparently taking on board with it a mysterious object called the “Ark Of Gabriel”

According to the report President Putin has deemed this object to be that important that he has called in naval warships, including guided missile cruiser Varyag, the Sovremennyy-class destroyer Bystry, Boris Chilikin-class fleet oiler Boris Butoma, and the powerful salvage tug Alatau that upon the ending of their current mission in India, they are to rendezvous with the Admiral Vladimisky in the Southern Ocean providing it protection as it sails to Antarctica – clearly whatever this “Ark” is, it is of a huge significance to the Russian President.

The report apparently confirmed that the mission started after the contacting on 25 September of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow by representatives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, regarding a mysterious ancient “device/weapon” discovered under the Masjid al-Haram Mosque (the Grand Mosque) during what has turned into an extremely controversial and top secret construction project which originally began in 2014 – something has clearer got the Russian Presidents immediate attention.

Please see image below of the apparent construction site:

The report apparently states that the Admiral Vladimisky research vessel began this top secret mission on the 6th November 2015 when it deported from Kronstadt on the Federation’s first Antarctica expedition in 30 years – most bizarrely the MOD described the object on board the ship as “critical military-religious” significance!?  Another very strange aspect of this was that it was also mentioned that the ship’s cargo will also include ‘capsules with Russian soil which will be placed in the areas of military glory and burial sites of Russian sailors at selected ports of call’ – Could this mean that whatever is on board this ship is potentially going to kill a number of Russian military personnel !?

This intense military project all started after the representatives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, contacting His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow about the supposedly ancient “device/weapon” discovered under the Masjid al-Haram Mosque (Grand Mosque) during what has turned into a very controversial construction project begun in 2014 (please see image above).  This almost comes across as if the Saudi’s were far too nervous to try to move this unknown object by themselves, hence the Russian involvement – As you can imagine the construction work under one of the most important areas of the world for the Islamic religion was frowned upon by many!

Worryingly raising the concerns of the Saudi’s and the Grand Mosque emissaries, the report went on to confirm that when this mysterious “device/weapon” was discovered on 12th September by a 15-man tunnel digging crew, who in their attempting to remove this mysterious mystical ‘weapon’ were instantly killed by a huge“plasma emission” In fact it was so powerful that it ejected from the ground toppling a construction crane killing, at least, another 107 people in the surrounding area.

The ‘Ark Of Gabriele’ apparently caused a massive plasma storm killing many whilst attending the Mecca for prayer services.

Coincidence or not, the report goes on to note/warn about the fact that barely a fortnight after the first attempt to remove this mysterious “device/weapon” was made on 12th September, a second attempt was then made on the 24th September which killed over 4,000 due to another huge “plasma emission” which put tens-of-thousands in panic.  The Saudi officials then decided to blame this devastating situation on a stampede.

Just what has Putin got involved with!?

Straight after the catastrophic death toll caused by the Saudi’s second attempt to remove this mysterious “device/weapon”, the report goes on to say that His Holiness Patriarch Kirill was then contacted by the Grand Mosque emissaries in regards to one of the oldest Islamic manuscripts possessed by the Russian Orthodox Church that was saved from the Roman Catholic Crusaders in 1204 when they sacked the Church of Holy Wisdom (which is now known as Hagia Sophia) in Constantinople (present day Istanbul, Turkey)which was titled “Gabriel’s Instructions To Muhammad”.

It is rather important to note, that this apparent report explains something which is pretty much virtually unknown in the West, was the fact that the Roman Catholic Crusades were not only against the growing Islamic faith, it was also against those having Russian Orthodox faith too, and this is why, during the crusades, the Russian Orthodox Church not only protected their own religious libraries from being destroyed, but also those belonging to Muslims – there was a great unity at the time between the Russian Orthodox church and the Muslims

The contents of this ancient Islamic manuscript, which has an intriguing heading of “Gabriel’s Instructions To Muhammad”, this report briefly notes, it centres around a group of instructions given to Muhammad by the Angel Gabriel in a cave called Hira, located on the mountain called Jabal an-Nour, near Mecca, wherein this heavenly being entrusted into Muhammad’s care a “box/ark” of “immense power” he was forbidden to use as it apparently belonged to God and God only, and was, instead, to be buried in a shrine at the “place of worship the Angels used before the creation of man” until its future uncovering in the days of Yawm al-Qīyāmah, or Qiyâmah, which means literally “Day of the Resurrection” – could we be building up to yet another end of the world scenario?!?

What could the mysterious Ark release on to the planet

Interestingly the MOD report hardly mentions about any conversations held between His Holiness Patriarch Kirill and the emissaries of the Grand Mosque in regards to this mysterious “Ark Of Gabriel”, however what it does clearly acknowledge that when President Putin was first made aware of this grave situation, on the 27th September, the leader of Russia immediately contacted his senior military personnel and ordered the mission to Antarctica for the Admiral Vladimisky research vessel – Even more intriguing was the fact that 3 days later, on the 30th September, the Russian Airforce  started bombing Daesh (ISIS) targets within Syria, could this be a DISTRACTION steering the world away from what is going on with the transportation of the strange ‘Ark Of Gable’!?

Russia’s was against ISIS is Syria being used as a distraction?

U.I.P SUMMARY – Now this story is rather creepy isn’t it, something which I did a bit of digging up on and the conclusion is that ‘something’ is definitely being covered up, but the question is WHAT!?!?  This story reminds me very much of the ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark Film’ of which the Nazi’s in the film manage to get hold of an ancient Ark, which when opens  releases a world of hell, devouring every mortal in its path (click HERE for more).  From the destruction and deaths apparently caused when attempting to move the ‘Ark of Gabriel’ in Saudi Arabia, which was discovered next to the Mecca, one does wonder whether this could be a similar scenario to the Harrison Ford Film.

Please check out the video below of the scene from the Raiders Of The Lost Ark:

What is very interesting about this creepy/worrying story is that the mysterious “weapon/device” is being covered up intensely in fact the site which we referred back to confirmed that they would be concerned to have pushed any harder on what else this so-called MOD report mentioned – it appears that the Kremlin are desperate to keep this event under wraps as much as they can.

It does appear a little odd that the Russians are working with the Saudis, especially with something so potentially ‘powerful/dangerous’ at the same time that Russia has accused Saudi Arabia of funding the Islamic state – again could this all be a distraction from what is going on behind the scenes!?

The question we have (we have many questions)is why are the Russian Forces taking this supposedly ‘dangerous’ Ark of Gabriel to the Antarctica? – Strangely the Nazi’s also had secret bases in that part of the world – perhaps it is to keep this strange/deadly weapon as far away from the masses as possible – perhaps this is the main reason our ET friends in the skies above us are doubling in numbers!?

MWV, O.P.S

Aliens may have visited: Shock Hillary Clinton claim as she vows to open 'UFO cover up'

US PRESIDENTIAL hopeful Hillary Clinton has vowed to disclose all the US Government knows about unidentified flying objects and aliens if she makes it into the White House.

07-01-2016 om 11:10 geschreven door peter  

INSIDE HILLARY CLINTON'S STRANGE,BIZARRE UFO LOBBY

"[Rockefeller] will want to talk with you about his interest in extrasensory perception"

Finally there's a nice harmless Clinton scandal that doesn't involve sexual assault, taking money from foreign governments, corruption or cover-ups. Just good old UFOs.

Earlier Hillary Clinton had made headlines with some strange comments about space aliens.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has said that if she is elected, she will 'get to the bottom' of questions over what the government knows about UFOs and aliens.

When asked if she would support UFO disclosure group efforts, she enthusiastically said 'yes'.

'Yes, I'm going to get to the bottom of it,' Hillary Clinton told The Sun reporter last week. 

'I think we may have been (visited already). We don't know for sure,' she said.

She added that she would like to look into Area 51, which she first called Area 54 but quickly corrected herself. 

'He has made me personally pledge we are going to get the information out,' Hillary Clinton said. 'One way or another. Maybe we could have, like, a task force to go to Area 51.'

Okay so that's weird. But it's not really news that the Clintons are into New Age stuff. Hillary Clinton became infamous for her Eleanor Roosevelt seance. But the UFO story gets weirder from here on in.

Hillary's campaign chairman John Podesta is a certifiable UFO fanatic.

In 2002, Podesta told reporters at the National Press Club that the U.S. government should “declassify records that are more than 25 years old.” He was, of course, discussing UFOs. “It’s time to find out what the truth really is that’s out there,” he said. “We ought to do it, really, because it’s right. We ought to do it, quite frankly, because the American people can handle the truth. And we ought to do it because it’s the law.”

Podesta also wrote the foreward for Leslie Kean’s 2010 book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, And Government Officials Go On The Record. In it, Podesta made the same case for disclosure. “It’s time to find out what the truth really is that’s out there. The American people—and people around the world—want to know, and they can handle the truth.” 

Leaving his White House post in February, Podesta again fueled Area 51 and Roswell conspiracy theories by tweeting that his "biggest failure of 2014" was "not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files."

But there's an even bigger base for the bizarre Clinton UFO pandering complete with some influential figures.

Stephen Bassett is ready for Hillary. Bassett, Capitol Hill's only registered UFO lobbyist, anticipates that another Clinton presidency will offer another shot at what's long been the Holy Grail for extraterrestrial enthusiasts: full disclosure of what the US government really knows about aliens. "This is the most important issue in the world," he says.

His enthusiasm is shared by Michael Salla, an academic turned UFO researcher who maintains that aliens have been secretly involved in American politics since the Cold War. He thinks a Clinton presidency would be a good thing for the UFO community. "I think Hillary would play a positive role in getting this information out," he says. "I think that Hillary definitely is much more the pro-disclosure candidate, where as someone like Jeb Bush is basically status quo."

So Jeb Bush is beholden to the aliens? Salla better check if the aliens aren't donating to the Clinton Foundation.

The other reason that UFO enthusiasts are excited about a potential Clinton victory goes back to the X-Files era. In early 1993, Laurance S. Rockefeller began to lobby the Clinton administration to release any government information related to UFOs and extraterrestrials, including the 1947 Roswell incident. The fourth child of John D. Rockefeller Jr., Rockefeller was a successful venture capitalist, philanthropist, and conservationist. One of his lesser-known interests was UFOs. (He died in 2004.)

In August 1995, Rockefeller met with Hillary Clinton, and perhaps Bill, at his Wyoming ranch. In a memo, the then-director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Jack Gibbons, warned the Clintons about Rockefeller's agenda before the visit. "[Rockefeller] will want to talk with you about his interest in extrasensory perception, paranormal phenomena, and UFO's," he wrote. Gibbons said he'd tried to persuade Rockefeller "not to bother you with this issue" and to focus instead on the administration's science and technology policies. Rockefeller, he continued, "knows that we are trying to be helpful in responding to his concerns about UFO's [sic] and human potential—and that we're keeping an open mind about such matters—but I've made no secret about my conviction that we must not be too diverted from more earthly imperatives."

Documents from the Rockefeller Initiative posted on Bassett's website suggest that the first lady was kept in the loop. A November 1995 letter to Gibbons from one of Rockefeller's lawyers included a draft letter to President Clinton "which Laurance has been discussing with Mrs. Clinton and her staff." Three months later, Rockefeller wrote Gibbons about the letter, which the White House was apparently in no hurry to receive: "It well may be that it will be timely to put this before the President late this year in order that it might receive attention in a second term. You indicated that you will keep the First Lady's Office informed, and we shall as well."

How seriously did the Clintons take this stuff? Seriously enough.

President Clinton was intrigued by UFOs and wanted to know if they really existed, says a new book by his golfing pal, disgraced Justice Department official Webb Hubbell.

Hubbell says finding out about UFOs was one of the top priorities Clinton gave him in sending him over to a job as one of Attorney General Janet Reno's top deputies.

Clinton had said, "if I put you over at Justice I want you to find the answers to two questions for me," Hubbell recounts.

"One, who killed JFK. And two, are there UFOs."

"Clinton was dead serious. I had looked into both, but wasn't satisfied with the answers I was getting," Hubbell adds.

So there are two possibilities. Either the Clintons will pander on anything to anyone. Or they're actually nuttier than we thought. Neither is an especially comforting thought.

University Observatory Films A Real UFO: This Is What Some Of Them Actually Look Like

By Arjun Walia

Take a look at the picture above (see the film footage from video below). What you’re looking at is an irrefutably legitimate photo of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). For those of you who are unaware, the existence of UFOs has already been officially verified in the ‘mainstream’ world, as dozens of governments have released thousands upon thousands of UFO related documents over the past few years. In the process, they have revealed a high level of interest from the military and defence intelligence agencies around the world in this topic.

For example, here is the latest batch of UFO files that were released by the United Kingdom. Here is a four page U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency/NSA report detailing one out of hundreds (if not thousands) of UFO encounters with military jets. In fact, these objects are not only visually confirmed by the pilots who scramble to get a closer look, they are also confirmed on both air and ground radar.

If you want to see some more examples and documents of what happens when the military tracks a UFO, you can read this article that we published last year on the subject.

“I’m skeptical about many things, including the notion that government always knows best, and that the people can’t be trusted with the truth. The time to pull the curtain back on this subject is long overdue. We have statements from the most credible sources – those in a position to know – about a fascinating phenomenon, the nature of which is yet to be determined.” John Podesta, former White House Chief of Staff for Bill Clinton, Barack Obama’s right hand man (councillor), and the current head of Hilary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Taken from Leslie Kean’s 2010 New York Times bestseller, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, And Government Officials Go On The Record, in which Podesta wrote the forward.

The picture shown above, again, comes from the video that’s linked below. The shot was taken from the Hessdalen Interactive Observatory in Norway, which is an observatory that’s used by scientists at the University of Ostfold, Hessdalen. It is the only 24 hour UFO observatory in the world. Powered by an automatic high definition camera, it takes multiple pictures every single minute to capture and examine the strange aerial phenomena in the area that people have been reporting for years.

“The light phenomena here in Hessdalen in Norway started in late ’81 with a lot of sightings, at the most it was 20 sightings a week. The local people here started to see the light down in the valley, sometimes close to their houses and they were wondering what could this be. Some was a little bit afraid too, because no one could give them an answer, what could it be?” – Sc.EE Erling Strand, University of Ostfold (source)

The picture above serves as just one explanation for why scientists decided to establish this permanent UFO observatory. Radar and cameras have picked up a number of astonishing pictures of the unexplained light phenomenon since its inception.

“The phenomena behaves very different. Some is moving very slowly and some lights can move very fast. The fastest speed we have ever measured was 30,000 km an hour.” – Erling Strand (source)

Yes, you read that correctly: 30,000 km per hour. This is significantly faster than the highest capability of any known manmade aircraft. Yet this is merely one example, out of thousands, of strange objects being documented performing, as UFO Research Richard Dolan said at the Citizens Hearing that took place in Washington, D.C., “impossible maneuvers at incomprehensible speeds.”

Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former head of CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)

This campaign of official secrecy, alluded to by CIA director Hillenkoetter, seems to have begun after President Truman announced on television that this subject is discussed at every conference that is held with the military. After this, publicity of these incidents went completely ‘black,’ into the realm of unacknowledged and waived SAPs. These programs may not exist publicly, but they do indeed exist. They are better known as ‘deep black programs.’ A 1997 US Senate report described them as “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress.”

“Everything is in a process of investigation, both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data.” – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979), from UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2, written by Richard Dolan

Video Footage Of The Picture

The footage below comes straight from the observatory, as featured in the documentary The Day Before Disclosure:  

We knew that the Earth was flat, we knew that we were the center of the universe, and we knew that a man-made heavier than air piece of machinery could not take flight. Through all stages of human history, intellectual authorities have pronounced their supremacy by ridiculing or suppressing elements of reality that simply didn’t fit within the framework of accepted knowledge. . . . But are we really any different today? Have we really changed our acceptance towards the things that won’t fit the frame? Maybe there are concepts of our reality we have yet to understand, and if we open our eyes maybe we will see that something significant has been overlooked. – (source) Terje Toftene, producer and director of the film (start at 3:99)

The production company behind the film is New Paradigm Films, and they are well aware of the fact that, soon enough, modern civilization is likely to be confronted with the biggest paradigm shift regarding our perception of reality that has been seen in human history. Through their films, they wish to shed light on serious issues that have remained in the dark for too long.

48:35 is the starting time for the video footage of the picture that this article is referring to, the video should already automatically start at that time.

“There are objects in our atmosphere which are technically miles in advance of anything we can deploy, that we have no means of stopping them coming here . . [and]there is a serious possibility that we are being visiting and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations. . . . This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubbishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (source)
