SpaceX Reveals Footage of Parachutes That Can Safely Bring Astronauts Home
SpaceX Reveals Footage of Parachutes That Can Safely Bring Astronauts Home
Four red-and-white parachutes unfurled high above the desert near Coolidge, Arizona, recently during a test of the system that initially will be used to safely land SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying astronauts back from the International Space Station. The test used a mass simulator as the weight of the spacecraft connected to the parachute system. The mass simulator and parachutes were released thousands of feet above the ground from a C-130 cargo aircraft. This test evaluated the four main parachutes, but did not include the drogue chutes that a full landing system would utilize.
As part of its final development and certification work with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, SpaceX continues to perform tests of flight-like hardware that allows engineers to assess the reliability. Later tests will grow progressively more realistic to simulate as much of the actual conditions and processes the system will see during an operational mission.

IN BRIEF
A new release showcases successful footage of SpaceX testing new methods of bringing astronauts back to Earth after missions.
SPACEX PARACHUTES
New footage shows SpaceX performing tests involving parachutes designed to bring astronauts back down to Earth. The entire process involves four large parachutes used to lower the Dragon spacecraft as it drifts back to Earth post mission.
SpaceX is a company known for making cargo runs for NASA to the International Space Station, and has been doing so since 2012. The longstanding partnership is set to extend, as NASA is (apparently) going to renew the contract long term.
In fact, NASAhas also contracted SpaceX to bring astronauts to the International Space Station, and has built a crew-rated version of the Dragon spacecraft specific to this initiative.
For this project to come to fruition, numerous tests have to be conducted; the most recent one being the parachutes, where the company placed a giant weight in place of the actual spacecraft and dropped the test chutes over Coolidge Arizona using a C-130. The tests proved to be successful and deployed as they were intended to.
SAFE LANDING
Despite the test rig landing in the desert, they intend for the spacecraft to land in the ocean—this will mark the first time that astronauts will land in water since the 70s. These SpaceX missions are set to take place sometime in late 2017 or early 2018.
Simultaneously, as SpaceX is testing water landings, the company is also studying the use of jet propulsion as a way to land on solid ground or on drone ships at sea. The whole point of this focused research is to find the right technology that will allow astronauts to safely come back to Earth.

Sonic booms were reported over southern New Jersey and along the East Coast to Long Island, New York, on Jan. 28, 2016.

At least 10 sonic booms have been reported this afternoon (Jan. 28) from southern New Jersey along the East Coast to Long Island, New York, say scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The first sonic boom was recorded at 1:24 p.m. EST (18:24:05 UTC), about 2 miles (3 kilometers) north-northeast of Hammonton, New Jersey, and 37 miles (60 km) south of Trenton, New Jersey. In the following hour and a half, seismometers picked up at least nine other sonic booms along the Eastern Seaboard all the way to Long Island, according to the USGS.
A spokesperson for the USGS said agency scientists there have no other information except that these were sonic booms and not earthquakes that were detected today.
A sonic boom occurs when an object (or an explosion) travels faster than the speed of sound (761.2 mph, or 1,225 km/h, at sea-level), sending out a shockwave that also travels faster than sound, according to John Bellini, a geophysicist with the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado. [Photos: See Aircraft Breaking the Sound Barrier]
The cause of today's sonic booms remains mysterious. Bellini noted, however, that if an explosion had caused these booms, someone likely would have seen it.
Officials have also ruled out NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island in Virginia, which routinely launches small rockets and jet test flights from its Eastern Shore site. But today, no rocket launches or jet flights occurred at the NASA center, spokesman Keith Kohler said in an email.
Scientists knew these were seismic waves from sonic booms and not earthquakes because of their speed. "An earthquake moves through the ground and it moves 10,000 feet per second [3,048 meters per second]," Bellini told Live Science. In today's instance, the waves were moving away from the seismometers in New Jersey at speeds that would suggest they were moving faster than sound in the air. A seismometer that tracks waves moving through the ground can pick up a sonic boom, whose waves move through the air, Bellini said. But the seismometers usually have to be pretty close to where the boom occurs, because sound doesn't transfer well into the ground.
ABC News reported that the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the North American Aerospace Defense Command had both confirmed they didn't have any planes operating nearby that could have generated the sonic booms.
No aircraft capable of sonic booms were operating at nearby naval air bases either, according to officials.
"We have reports of ground shaking in S. Jersey — currently our training ranges are clear and no MDL aircraft are capable of sonic booms," officials at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Trenton, New Jersey, wrote on Twitter. "We're working with local authorities to determine the cause and will have an update ASAP."

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
What appear to be tiny oases nurturing a variety of trees in a vast pink desert are not, actually. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured this image in April of 2008 near Mars' North Pole. Experts believe the dark spots are wet patches of Martian sand that grew from melting carbon dioxide ice due to the spring Sun. In close up views of the image sand slides are evident from swirling clouds of dust. [See more photos from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. ]
Alien abductee Sue Sill of Outlane, Huddersfield, wants to prove the truth is out there
Alien abductee Sue Sill of Outlane, Huddersfield, wants to prove the truth is out there
Sue Sill, of Outlane, has been filming UFOs over Huddersfield for years
Are we alone in the universe?
Everyone has a theory – but for Sue Sill, there’s only one answer.
Sue, 57, of Outlane, claims she’s had many encounters with UFOS – and believes she was abducted in 2010.
She says Huddersfield is a hotbed of activity and has filmed UFOs in the sky all around the town.
Her latest experience was just last month, when she filmed a light in the sky above her home – watch the video below.
She said: “I was in my kitchen with my sister-in-law Colleen, who has seen quite a lot of things with me. She said, ‘there’s something over the top of your house again – a bright light in the sky.’”

Two big ideas often come up in discussions about the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI. One is the Drake Equation, which estimates the number of civilizations in our Galaxy whose signals we might be able to detect—potentially thousands, according to plausible estimates. The other is the so-called Fermi paradox, which claims that we should see intelligent aliens here if they exist anywhere, because they would inevitably colonize the Galaxy by star travel—and since we don’t see any obvious signs of aliens here, searching for their signals is pointless.
The Drake Equation is perfectly genuine: it was created by astronomer and SETI pioneer Frank Drake. The Fermi paradox, however, is a myth. It is named for the physicist Enrico Fermi—but Fermi never made such a claim.
I’d like to explain why the so-called Fermi paradox is mistaken, based on my deep-dive research on the topic, because this mistake had inhibited the search for E.T., which I think is worthwhile. It was cited by Sen. William Proxmire (D-WI) as a reason for killing NASA’s SETI program in 1981; the program was restarted at the urging of Carl Sagan, but was killed dead in 1993 by Senator Richard Bryan (D-NV). Since then, no searches in the U.S. have received government funds, even though thousands of new planets have been discovered orbiting stars other than our sun.
Enrico Fermi, a Nobel prizewinner who built the first nuclear reactor, never published a word on the subject of extraterrestrials. We know something about his views because physicist Eric Jones collected written accounts from the three surviving people present at a 1950 lunch in Los Alamos where the so-called Fermi paradox had its roots: Emil Konopinski, Edward Teller, and Herbert York (Fermi died in 1954).
According to these eyewitnesses, they were chatting about a cartoon inThe New Yorker showing cheerful aliens emerging from a flying saucer carrying trash cans stolen from the streets of New York City, and Fermi asked “Where is everybody?” Everyone realized he was referring to the fact that we haven’t seen any alien spaceships, and the conversation turned to the feasibility of interstellar travel. York seemed to have had the clearest memory, recalling of Fermi:
“... he went on to conclude that the reason that we hadn’t been visited might be that interstellar flight is impossible, or, if it is possible, always judged to be not worth the effort, or technological civilization doesn’t last long enough for it to happen.”
Both York and Teller seemed to think Fermi was questioning the feasibility of interstellar travel—nobody thought he was questioning the possible existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. So the so-called Fermi paradox—which does question the existence of E.T.—misrepresents Fermi’s views. Fermi’s skepticism about interstellar travel is not surprising, because in 1950 rockets had not yet reached orbit, much less another planet or star.
If Fermi wasn’t the source of this pessimistic idea, where did it come from?
The notion “... they are not here; therefore they do not exist” first appeared in print in 1975, when astronomer Michael Hart claimed that if smart aliens existed, they would inevitably colonize the Milky Way. If they existed anywhere, they would be here. Since they aren’t, Hart concluded that humans are probably the only intelligent life in our galaxy, so that looking for intelligent life elsewhere is “probably a waste of time and money.” His argument has been challenged on many grounds—maybe star travel is not feasible, or maybe nobody chooses to colonize the galaxy, or maybe we were visited long ago and the evidence is buried with the dinosaurs—but the idea has become entrenched in thinking about alien civilizations.
In 1980, the physicist Frank Tipler elaborated on Hart’s arguments by addressing one obvious question: where would anybody get the resources needed to colonize billions of stars? He suggested “a self-replicating universal constructor with intelligence comparable to the human level.” Just send one of these babies out to a neighboring star, tell it to build copies of itself using local materials, and send the copies on to other stars until the Galaxy is crawling with them. Tipler argued that absence of such gizmos on Earth proved that ours is the only intelligence anywhere in the entire Universe—not just the Milky Way galaxy—which seems like an awfully long leap from the absence of aliens on our one planet.
Hart and Tipler clearly deserve credit for the idea at the heart of the so-called Fermi paradox. Over the years, however, their idea has been confused with Fermi’s original question. The confusion evidently started in 1977 when the physicist David G. Stephenson used the phrase ‘Fermi paradox’ in a paper citing Hart’s idea as one possible answer to Fermi’s question. The Fermi paradox might be more accurately called the ‘Hart-Tipler argument against the existence of technological extraterrestrials’, which does not sound quite as authoritative as the old name, but seems fairer to everybody.
As for the paradox, there is none, even in Hart’s and Tipler’s arguments. There is no logical contradiction between the statement “E.T. might exist elsewhere” and the statement “E.T. is not here” because nobody knows that travel between the stars is possible in the first place.
The Hart-Tipler argument, cloaked in the authority of Fermi’s name, has made some people pessimistic about the chances for success in SETI. But the suggestion that we should not look for intelligent life elsewhere because we don’t see aliens here is simply silly. There are some signs that the pessimism is lifting, most notably Yuri Milner’s privately fundedBreakthrough Listen project, which promises to contribute $100 million in funding over ten years. But searching millions of stars for signals at unknown frequencies might take more resources. Our searches typically ’see’ a spot on the sky no bigger than the Moon at any moment, which is only a tiny fraction of the sky. If we want to find something interesting in our era, we might need to look harder.
What if one of Ufology’s most cherished cases turned out to be something very different? Something far more down to earth, but of a distinctly conspiratorial nature. Yep, I can see the daggers being drawn already. Too bad for the belief-driven. There’s nothing worse than a mind made up. And there’s nothing better than shaking things up and addressing alternative theories when it comes to the matter of UFOs. After all, none of us really know what the truth is, when it comes to the UFO phenomenon. So, thinking outside of the box is vital. All of which brings us to a certain, famous UFO event of late 1973.
On the night of October 10, 1973, two men – Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker – were fishing on the banks of Mississippi’s Pascagoula River. All was going fine. That is, until approximately 9:00 p.m. rolled around. That’s when all hell broke loose. Yet, it all began relatively calmly. It didn’t stay that way, however. As they fished, Parker and Hickson suddenly noticed a light in the distance. Not only that, it was following the river and appeared to be coming in their direction. Which was not necessarily a good thing.
As the light got closer, they could see it in its full glory: the light was actually a brightly lit, somewhat egg-shaped craft, from which came a deep, throbbing hum. Such was the intensity of the hum, it provoked intense nausea in both men. Confusion, and a sense of distinct unreality, quickly followed. The pair watched in horror and amazement as what was described as a “hatch” opened and a trio of very strange-looking creatures exited the hovering object. Even stranger, and much more unnerving, the three things floated from the craft, across the waters of the river, and towards Hickson and Parker.
The aliens were not of the famous large-headed, black-eyed, and dwarfish kind, however. They weren’t even of the benevolent-looking, so-called “Space Brothers” variety of the 1950s. Nope, this particular breed of E.T. was described later by the shocked and undeniably traumatized men as being humanoid, and with faces that appeared to be almost masked, and heads from which three carrot-style points protruded. On top of that, they had large crab-like or lobster-like claws.
Then matters got even worse: when the things from another world were practically on top of terrified Parker and Hickson, both men were rendered into a state of paralysis. Whether due to some technology of the aliens, or provoked by overwhelming fear, remains unknown. Maybe it was a combination of both. Suddenly, the entities seized the pair, who were manhandled onto the UFO. Like most abductees, Hickson and Parker were quickly reduced to the equivalents of lab rats. When the trauma-filled encounter was over, the pair was dumped back on the edge of the river.

French visitor photographs 'UFO' over Waikato
French visitor photographs 'UFO' over Waikato

Daniel Ubertini's shot taken in late January at a marae in Rotorua – with the largest of the three unexplained objects circled. Two smaller, similarly-shaped objects were at the far left of the image.
He's An Oracle Of Business Success Read What He's Eying Up To Now
Retired French photojournalist Daniel Ubertini, 67, had a slightly other-worldly experience in the Waikato 10 days ago.
As he uploaded shots taken at a Rotorua marae, he noticed something unusual.
There appeared to be three elongated objects in the sky – a larger one at the right side of the image, and two smaller ones on the left.

Daniel Ubertini with his 2009 UFO shot taken in Tonga (left), and his 1977 shot taken in Reunion Island.
"They are the shape of nothing I know," he said. "They were not aircraft, not birds … what were they?"
Ubertini has asked himself that question around several photographs he has taken over time – six to be exact. Most were taken before the day of the drone, where misidentification might be more plausible.
His first UFO shot was in Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.
A subsequent photograph featuring a questionable image was taken in Tonga in 2009 … then there were two in France during 2014, another in Tonga in 2015, and now the one in Rotorua in January.
The fact-driven photojournalist and aviation enthusiast is quick to deny anything akin to obsession around UFOs. But his tally is an unusual one.
"I took my first photo of a UFO in 1977," said the internationally-published Ubertini. "At that time I was not completely thinking of UFOs."
That incident was in Reunion Island, when he was photographing an Air France B747 taking off. When developing the shots, he noticed an object roughly the size of the engine flying above the wing, with an apparent 'tail' at the back.
In 2009, he discovered "a shape resembling a DVD with a hole in the middle" appearing above and behind a plane on the tarmac in Tonga.
He sent the shots to Arizona and to the French Space Agency investigations unit, Geipan - neither could identify the objects, and filed the images away.
Ubertini stayed with friends in Cambridge in late January en route to his home in the south of France. While here, he visited the Rotorua marae and took his most recent UFO shots.
"I never try to take those kinds of photographs – but I do photograph a lot of aircraft, and I do believe there are things happening that we cannot explain."

Scientists from Australia and the United States have observed a gas-giant planet – a giant planet composed mainly of hydrogen and helium – being formed for the first time.
They also captured photographs of an exoplanet or extrasolar planet – a planet that orbits a star other than the sun – forming around a young star called LkCa 15. LkCa 15 is located 450 light years from Earth and is surrounded by a vast disc of dust and gas, making a perfect environment for planets to grow.
Catching a planet in the making is an exciting first for astronomers. Although nearly 1,900 planets have been discovered and confirmed outside our solar system, none of them are in the process of formation.
Kate Follett, a researcher at Stanford University, said that “no one has successfully and unambiguously detected a forming planet before. There have always been alternative explanations, but in this case, we’ve taken a direct picture, and it’s hard to dispute that.”
This remarkable feat was achieved by scientists with the help of specialized instruments. These instruments include the Large Binocular Telescope or LBT, the world’s largest telescope, located on Arizona’s Mount Graham, and the University of Arizona’s Magellan Telescope and its Adaptive Optics System, MagAO, located in Chile.

The Air Force would like to forget about last year because a lot its drones crashed, most notably its Reaper drone which seemed to continuously drop out of the sky.
In fact, 2015 represents the worst year for drone crashes the USAF has ever experienced.
As a result, The Washington Post recently looked into the drone issues and concluded that Reaper crashes were a result of electrical failures.
Investigators, on the other hand, believe there are problems with the Reaper’s “starter-generator.”
All in all, 10 Reaper drones crashed in 2015, and 20 total, leading to approximately $2 million in damage.
Keep in mind, this all comes in the wake of the Air Force recently announcing plans to hire thousands more people for its drone program.
They're big-eyed and slight of build. They're the grim, greenish beings that every moviegoer recognizes as aliens -- the inscrutable inhabitants of a distant world. Playing supporting roles in countless films and TV shows, these hairless homunculi have become iconic.
But we've never seen a real alien. Indeed, we don't even know if real aliens exist.
However, astronomers have recently discovered several thousand planets in our galactic neighborhood. Consequently, the idea of intelligent life in space has eased from the realm of science fiction to scientific plausibility. Telescopes could receive signals at any time that would tell us they're out there.
What would they be like?
Is it possible that real aliens would resemble the smooth-skinned anthropomorphs of the movies? Simple engineering arguments suggest that having two eyes, an upright stance and a small number of flexible appendages make sense for any active and intelligent animal. Consequently, some biologists have sided with Hollywood, and claimed that the process of convergent evolution, a tendency for design to follow function, will ensure that aliens might vaguely resemble us.
This line of argument, as flattering as it is, misses the boat. More likely is that most advanced alien civilizations will be a special kind of artificial intelligence ("A.I.") called "superintelligence" - synthetic cognition that vastly exceeds the best that humans can manage in every category: social skills, general wisdom, scientific creativity, and so on.
We suspect this could be true based on analogy with our own near future, as we may be near to developing superintelligence ourselves. Making such machines may be the most transformative event of the 21st century, or perhaps of any century in human history. It could be as natural an evolutionary step as the emergence of land-dwelling animals 370 million years ago.
In a similar vein, we suspect that once a society creates the means to communicate across interstellar space, they are likely only a few hundred years away from changing their own paradigm of sentience from biology to A.I.
Given the age of the universe, some of these alien thinking machines could be millions or even billions of years more advanced than we are. Some may have achieved superintelligence by means of biological enhancements to their bodies, but we suspect that the majority would simply transition to silicon, rather than remaining carbon-based life forms.
Indeed, silicon appears to be a better medium for information processing than the brain itself. Neurons reach a peak data rate of about 200 Hz, which is about seven orders of magnitude slower than current microprocessors. While biological brains compensate for the slowness of neurons with efficient algorithms and massive parallelism, speedier silicon systems can borrow these design features from biological brains, and even improve upon them.
Further, focused, deliberative thought is incredibly slow in human brains, having a maximum capacity of only about seven manageable chunks of information. And the quantity of neurons in the brain is limited by cranial volume and metabolism. Computers, in contrast, could occupy entire cities, or even planets. They could survive environmental catastrophes that would wipe out biological life.
Once begun, intelligent devices can engineer their own descendants. These improved sentients can then go on to design yet another generation of machines, a scenario that may have played out many times in the history of the cosmos. This process unfolds so quickly that it seems inevitable that the majority of the intelligence now extant in the universe is built, not born. The real aliens won't be protoplasmic.
Even if we are wrong -- even if the majority of alien civilizations are biological -- silicon-based creatures are more likely to engage in space travel, having durable systems that are practically immortal. They may be the kind of the creatures we first encounter, if we encounter anyone.
What can we say about such thinking devices? Would their thoughts and interests be anything like our own?
We suspect that many alien civilizations will become post-biological either by scanning their brains and transferring the contents to a computer or by slowly replacing parts of their brains with silicon components (both amount to "uploading" the biological brain). If this is right, their thinking could be like that of the biological aliens they are derived from, though much faster, and enhanced in ways that enable them to solve problems and develop technologies that were beyond the reach of their biological ancestors.
Biological intelligences have evolved to survive and reproduce. Silicon descendants could inherit their primary motivations, such as find food, avoid injury, reproduce, cooperate, and so on. If these aliens are indeed still interested in reproduction, we might expect that given the vast computational resources at their disposal, they would create simulated universes stocked with artificial life and even other superintelligences. If the simulated beings were intended to be their "children," they may retain these same basic goals as well.
You may object that it is useless to theorize about superintelligent aliens, for they can alter their basic architecture in numerous, unforeseen ways. There are limits to this, however. If a superintelligence has survival as a primary goal, it may resist fundamental changes to its architecture, sticking to smaller improvements. It may think: when I alter my architecture in radical ways, I am no longer me.
Cognitive science could prove instructive in considering these non-biological beings. For instance, in trying to understand superintelligent minds, cognitive scientists can theorize about characteristics of biological intelligence that superintelligent creatures would want to retain and enhance, such as working memory and attention, and those they may prefer to jettison, such as decision-making biases. Further, connectomics, which seeks to provide a wiring map of the brain, could be informative. While it is likely that a superintelligent A.I. would not have the same kind of connectomes that members of the original species have, some of the functional and structural connections may be retained. And philosophers of mind have already debated whether A.I. is even capable of having inner experiences, such as curiosity or the feeling of awe when seeing a sunset.
Movie aliens, from the pointy-eared Vulcans of Star Trek to the childlike gnomes ofE.T. are merely projections of ourselves. Real aliens could be as different from us as we are from the trilobites.
De aarde bestaat eigenlijk uit twee in elkaar versmolten planeten. Die versmelting gebeurde 4.5 miljard jaar geleden. De aarde is toen frontaal op een andere planeet geknald. Die planeet, Theia, spatte daardoor uit elkaar. Uit de brokstukken ontstond de maan, maar de resten zijn ook opgezogen door de aarde en ermee versmolten.
Een groep wetenschappers concludeert dat in het belangrijke wetenschapsblad Science. Het was al langer bekend dat er een botsing tussen de aarde en Theia moet zijn geweest. Dat zou ongeveer 4,5 miljard jaar geleden moeten zijn gebeurd, toen de aarde 100 miljoen jaar oud was. Maar het was nog niet duidelijk hoe de botsing ging en wat daarvan terug te vinden is.
Chemische vingerafdruk van maanstenen Om het verleden te achterhalen, keken de onderzoekers naar de chemische 'vingerafdruk' van zeven stenen die astronauten hadden meegenomen van de maan. Die vergeleken ze met zes vulkanische stenen uit het binnenste van de aarde. De stenen waren helemaal gelijk aan elkaar, wat betekent dat ze dezelfde afkomst moeten hebben.
Frontale botsing Om dat mogelijk te maken, moet er bij de botsing een enorme kracht zijn vrijgekomen. Daaruit leiden de onderzoekers af dat de knal tussen de aarde en Theia frontaal moet zijn geweest.
"Theia is grondig door de aarde en de maan gemengd en gelijkmatig verdeeld. Dat verklaart waarom we geen verschillende vingerafdruk zien", zeggen de wetenschappers.
Een andere theorie is dat Theia destijds langs de aarde is gescheerd. Daarbij zou de planeet in stukken zijn gescheurd. De resten zouden in een baan rond de aarde zijn gekomen, wat wij nu zien als de maan. Maar in dat geval zouden de stenen op de maan moeten verschillen van de stenen op aarde, omdat ze een andere afkomst hadden.

Kleitablet toont onverwacht knap meetkundig denken: Babyloniërs berekenden snelheid van Jupiter al
Kleitablet toont onverwacht knap meetkundig denken: Babyloniërs berekenden snelheid van Jupiter al
Een pas ontdekt kleitablet toont onverwacht knap meetkundig denken door Babylonische astronomen. Op het kleitablet, dat dateert van ongeveer 350 voor Christus, wordt een grafiek van de schijnbare snelheid van de planeet Jupiter aan de hemel beschreven.
Volgens de Nederlandse astronoom Mathieu Ossendrijver van de Humboldt-Universität in Berlijn, hadden de oude Babyloniërs zich een geometrische manier van denken eigengemaakt. Op het tablet legt een anonieme schrijver in spijkerschrift uit hoe je de planeet Jupiter moet volgen.
Daarbij beschrijft hij een techniek waarvan men dacht dat die pas in het Europa van de 14e eeuw werd ontdekt. De techniek raakte in de vergetelheid, maar werd eeuwen later herontdekt.
Soemeriërs
De Babyloniërs, die leefden in wat nu Irak is, zetten de astronomische traditie voort die de Soemeriërs al rond 3000 voor Christus begonnen. Babylonische astronomen beschreven rond 700 voor Christus al de bewegingen van hemellichamen. Er zijn in de loop der jaren vele honderdduizenden kleitabletten opgegraven.
De Grieken en later ook de Arabische en westerse gemeenschap namen de astronomische kennis en gegevens over. “Die Babylonische cultuur is echt een deel van ons erfgoed, niet één of andere doodlopende cultuur,” vertelt Ossendrijver aan Science. De verdeling van onze klok in zestigtallen en de gradenboog in 360 graden herinneren bijvoorbeeld nog altijd aan de Babyloniërs.
Astrologie
In 2014 kreeg hij een foto onder ogen van een nog niet beschreven kleitablet uit het British Museum. Ossendrijver kwam al snel tot de ontdekking dat het kleitablet betrekking had op de afstand die Jupiter heeft afgelegd aan de hemel.
De Babyloniërs geloofden sterk in astrologie. Van de ontwikkeling van de graanprijs tot het weer, alles was volgens hen gecorreleerd aan de beweging van de hemellichamen.
Hoogleraar sterrenkunde Teije de Jong van de UvA vermoedt dat de Babyloniërs dezelfde technieken ook op andere planeten toepasten. “Wat enorm zou helpen, is als we de schep in de grond konden zetten in Irak, waar naar alle waarschijnlijk nog veel meer kleitabletten liggen.”
Weer een grote UFO die energie tankt bij de zon ( VIDEO )
Weer een grote UFO die energie tankt bij de zon ( VIDEO )
In maart 2012 ging een foto de wereld rond van een grote UFO die energie leek te tanken bij de zon.
Terwijl wetenschappers ruimtedeeltjes hebben ontdekt in een Egyptische piramide, tankt er opnieuw een grote UFO energie bij de zon.
Gisteren schreven wij over de bijzonder gebeurtenis bij de Colima vulkaan in Mexico, waar een grote UFO een vulkaanuitbarsting leek te veroorzaken.
Naar aanleiding van dat artikel, schrijft een lezer het volgende (dank!):
Hierbij wilde ik toch melden of jullie de link ook zien met UFO's die bij de zon gezien zijn en de ufo die bij vulkanen rond vliegen.
Het bewijs is nu geheel daar... als de UFO's energie nodig hebben laden ze op bij de zon. Mogelijk dat de vreemde waarnemingen bij de zon die vele malen groter zijn als op aarde de moeder schepen zijn.
Het lijkt mij duidelijk dat de ufo op jullie filmpje zich oplaadt door vulkanische warmte net als ze bij de zon doen.
Er lijkt mij geen andere reden te zijn waardoor de explosie ontstaat en de ufo er doorheen vliegt.
Heel gaaf dit dank
Bovenstaande is natuurlijk goed opgemerkt want ook bij de zon worden UFO’s gesignaleerd.
Op 11 maart 2012 ging de volgende afbeelding van een grote UFO die energie schijnt te tanken bij de zon de wereld rond.
Top op de dag van vandaag is daar nog nooit een “logische verklaring” voor gevonden.
En omdat toeval niet bestaat, hebben we ook deze week weer een voorval van een grote UFO bij de zon die net als die in 2012 energie schijnt te tanken.
De opname lijkt in eerste instantie op een soort donkere planeet, gedeeltelijk verborgen achter de zon. Maar, even later is net zoals bij de vreemde grote UFO uit 2012 een soort slang te zien.
Iets dat lijkt op de verbinding tussen de UFO en de zon waarmee het mogelijk de nodige energie tankt.
We leven in bijzondere tijden waar zich verschijnselen voor doen die we een aantal jaren geleden niet kenden.
Zo schijnen de piramides weer tot leven te komen en signalen af te geven naar een verre planeet.
In dat kader stond er onlangs een interessant artikel op RT News waarin melding werd gemaakt van het feit dat een aantal wetenschappers deeltjes (muons) uit de ruimte hadden aangetroffen in een piramide en dat daar wel eens het antwoord kon liggen op het ontstaan van deze monumenten.
Veel wijzer dan dat zijn ze op dit moment nog niet, maar ze zijn in ieder geval zoekende in de juiste richting.
Mogelijk zal het antwoord op de vraag hoe de piramides zijn ontstaan wel veel eerder worden beantwoord door de bewoners van een “onbekende planeet” die onderweg is richting aarde.
Iemand die eigenhandig onderzoek heeft gedaan naar de piramides in Egypte is een Duitse toerist die enkele dagen geleden aan de blikken van de bewakers aldaar wist te ontsnappen en helemaal naar de top van de piramide klom.
Hoe dat in zijn werk ging en het uitzicht daarna, is te zien in de volgende video.

Filer’s Files #5 -2016 Secret Space Program - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding UFOs Do Exist, Secret Science and the Secret Space Program, Spain: Military Aviator Recalls UFO Sighting Over Menorca, World-Changing Events Poised Ready To Break, Stonehenge and Menhirs Energy, Many underground entrances found on Mars, New Jersey Lakehurst Naval Base Sighting, and December Sighting Reports.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, Iceland, Italy, Kenya, New Zealand, Qatar, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding UFOs Do Exist
Air Chief Marshall Lord Dowding states, “More than 10,000 sightings have been reported, the majority of which cannot be accounted for by any “scientific” explanation… I am convinced that these objects do exist and that they are not manufactured by any nation on Earth. I can therefore see no alternative to accepting the theory that they come from some extraterrestrial source.”
. Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain. He is considered the mastermind of the successful defense of England from Nazi air power.
Soldier, pilot, wireless pioneer, squadron commander, spiritualist, champion skier, Dowding is perhaps best known as the creator of the first radar-based air defense system the “Dowding System.” and his no less remarkable management of such throughout the Battle of Britain. He conceived and oversaw the development of an integrated air defense system which included (i) radar (who Dowding was among the first to appreciate), (ii) human observers (including the Royal Observer Corps), who filled crucial gaps in the radar such as the altitude of incoming German aircraft), (iii) raid plotting, and (iv) radio control of aircraft. The whole network was tied together and known as Ground-controlled interception (GCI). He oversaw the creation of Britain’s first eight-gun monoplanes, the Hurricane and Spitfire. Printed in Sunday Dispatch, London, July 11, 1954.
Secret Science and the Secret Space Program
There are areas of science that are off limits to the public and are not taught in our universities. Scientists and experimenters like John Worrell Keely, Nicola Tesla, and Thomas Townsend Brown developed the science and technology of anti-gravity and extracting energy from space itself in the late 19th and early 20th century. However, today, this science is purposely overlooked and regulated to the world of “Black Projects.” The publicly acknowledged space program is but a “smoke screen” to hide a secret space program, overseen by NSA, the CIA and a secret branch of the U.N., which is so secret that even some U.S. Presidents and Congressional oversight committees are not even aware of it.
Secret Science and the Secret Space Program will document and provide an in depth look at this secret science and technology and the secret space program that has already colonized Mars, built bases on our Moon and other planet’s moons and given us the ability to travel to the stars. “Black” science is so far ahead of acknowledged science that this book will seem like science fiction to many who read it.
Herbert G. Dorsey III received a degree in Electrical Engineering from University of California at Santa Barbara in 1982. In 1985, he became acquainted with the ideas of Thomas Bearden and John Bedini, which allowed for free energy generation but ran counter to his formal schooling. Herbert Dorsey realized that there were holes in the formal science that he was taught and resolved to become a free energy researcher. Along the way, he also discovered the science of anti-gravity. In the 1990s, he attended many UFO conferences and met many interesting people that worked on secret government projects and was amazed at what he learned from them. Now, he wishes to share that knowledge with you.
Spain: Military Aviator Recalls UFO Sighting over Menorca
A flier says he pursued the object involved in the Manises Incident right to the island. The retired air force officer described in detail his pursuit of unidentified objects while aboard a Mirage fighter – a chase that led him to Menorca.
The unknown flying object incident that occurred on 11 November 1979 and popularly known as the Manises Incident is probably Spain’s most famous UFO case. The mystery even reached the halls of congress, where Deputy Enrique Múgica requested an explanation of what had taken place. There have been ample discussions about the incident, particularly following the declassification of the Ejército del Aire (Spanish Air Force) files in 1994. But, two decades later, the story is once again in the news, and in this case, with a connection that involves Menorca.
All of this arose from an interview on Radio Valencia (Cadena SER) of one of the main witnesses, retired Air Force Captain Fernando Cámara. The military man complied with the order to takeoff from the Los Llanos Air Force Base in Albacete in a Mirage fighter with the goal of intercepting some red lights that were stalking a commercial flight of the now-defunct TAE airline, which had just taken off from Mallorca on its way to Tenerife, and was forced to make an emergency landing in Valencia with 109 passengers aboard. “I saw the light, although my radar didn’t pick up anything. I was flying some 1000 kilometers an hour, and when I caught up to it, the light went from being static to flying in front of me at the same speed. I was aware that the object had detected me, because my fighter’s alarm systems were triggered. But I was only able to see it with my own eyes,” said Cámara on the radio broadcast.
The military jet requested permission to go supersonic, but when the pilot managed to approach the object, it matched his speed. He decided to pursue it to Zaragoza, but he decided to break off pursuit. Returning to Valencia, he was asked to fly over the vicinity of Sagunto, where strange lights had also been seen. “When I got there, I found myself facing a white disk. It was very different from the other light, but the interference it caused on my plane was the same. I chased it to the Menorca area, but faced with the impossibility of reaching it, and given the lack of fuel, I decided to turn back,” he said.

World-Changing Events Poised Ready To Break?
Jonathan Gray writes, “If you didn’t know, events have started to happen in Europe, USA and Australia right now that are set to change the world overnight.Big upheavals are coming to your life and that of your family members. And, I am still in shock after 5 months of checking and re-checking some ancient prophecies that foretell what is happening. In addition, after that, what is going to come. The Invasion of America, Europe, and Australia with terrorists swarming into position among millions of refugees. The most amazing prophecy: how global Islam will come to its end and another prophecy has revealed in startling detail the Vatican’s rise and its sudden coming dramatic end. Dire predictions of war with China, North Korea, and possibly Russia.
Whenever predictions claimed disaster, I found it was helpful to pray:
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” . 2 Chronicles 7:14
Stonehenge and Menhirs Energy
Cosmic Energy Research reports they have been studying ancient stone structures and their related places of power and energy. First, there were separate stones of various sizes, called menhirs, later followed by groupings of stones, then more sophisticated big circle structures like Knowth shown here up to pyramids. Archeologists assume that menhirs were built for cult-related, agricultural, calendar, and astronomic purposes. From our research, it was discovered that most of the menhirs were structures that created energy or were chosen because of their inherent power. Earth bulwarks can also be called menhirs such as Knowth in Ireland (shown).
Menhirs focus or accumulate energy. In order for a menhir to function as an energy accumulator, it must be insulated from the bedrock with suitable natural materials. Expert literature states how the ground under earth bulwarks were adjusted. In his work “Stones of Time,” on Page 91 Martin Brennan describes how the structure in Knowth has been insulated”. Layers of grass and clay are sandwiched with layers of slate and pebble-stone. Hundreds of menhirs are located on the American continent, the United Kingdom, and China. Quartz for example is thought to induce clairvoyance and is ideal for crystal gazing. The association with crystals and spiritual communication is worldwide. Granite often have innate radioactivity, electrical and vibratory characteristics.
When I visited Stonehenge, my family and I could feel the energy from the stones and thought we could hear sound from the stones. This may be a type of healing energy or a method for communication, or even an anti gravity system. The boulders at Stonehenge weigh 25 tons and more and the Blue Stones were brought from a hundred miles away from Wales or Ireland. Firey balls of light and and frequent crop circles are reported in the area.
Maria Wheatley a curator of archeology at a top British Museum may agree with my concept of aliens on Earth. For the first time in the history of Stonehenge, Maria Wheatley reveals that a mysterious people constructed numerous sacred sites that surround Stonehenge. They displayed distinctive facial features, their skulls were elongated, and they ruled the locality.
In Maria’s new book “Stonehenge’s Elongated Skulls”, the people with the long skulls built long structures and later Stonehenge, Avebury and numerous archeological sites. People with elongated skulls were rulers in Egypt, Sumer, and Peru and associated with royalty. The mummified remains of Pharaohs often have elongated skulls. Pharaoh Akhenaton and Queen Nefertiti in Egypt who believed in one God had elongated skulls.
Maria has evaluated the remains of the elongated skulls and determined they were all murdered and their long lost history lost. Apparently, a group of invaders decided to eradicate the people of the elongated skulls after they settled the area for hundreds of years. She has also discovered a Neolithic High Queen that was laid to rest in the largest and longest barrow ever constructed in prehistoric Britain. Her book explains the untold history of the elongated skulls and how it was hidden from the Western world. Website.
It is thought the elongated skulls found in the Stonehenge area may not be human. They could come from an entirely new species that fits outside of the known evolutionary tree with the capability of advanced technology.
Cosmic Energy Research reports the people of the elongated skull apparently were able to utilize the energy in the stones to create heat or to formulate them in some way. In Western Europe, sixty fortresses were built using technology that indicates they could melt or form stone. Arthur C. Clarke has experimentally proved that using the firewood available at that time they could not reach the necessary temperatures to melt the stone. Thus, we can speculate that transforming or accumulating some type of cosmic energy gained the necessary temperature to melt the stone. Cosmic Energy Research also claims it can be derived that by connecting energy sources in a suitable manner, the energy components could also be used for defense purposes. The frequent sightings of UFOs in the area suggest the craft may have also used this energy.
The skull shown with teeth was found at West Kennet Long Barrow not far from Stonehenge. The other picture is from NASA showing the skull or a sculptured rock from Mars that suggests Martians or other aliens had elongated skulls. Some areas of Mars have pyramids and Pharaoh like statues. The entire Stonehenge area has exceptional people with elongated skulls that may have come from Mars or some other planet attempting to reproduce similar structures on Mars. They built Silbury Hill the largest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe called the “Hill of the Shining Beings, We know that Mars atmosphere and water diminished with some type of catastrophe and that gravity there is much less than on Earth. Mars gravity is only one sixth of Earths and to launch a spaceship from Mars would be relatively easy compared to a craft leaving Earth.
Some of the persons with elongated skulls were buried in the West Kennet Long Barrow a Neolithic tomb , situated on a prominent chalk ridge, near Silbury Hill, one-and-a-half miles south of Avebury in Wiltshire, England. The construction of the West Kennet Long Barrow commenced about 3600 BC, which is some 400 years before the first stage Stonehenge, and it was in use until around 2500 BC. Indiscriminate digging has damaged the mound, but archaeological excavations in 1859 and 1955-56 found at least 46 burials, ranging from babies to elderly persons many with elongated skulls. Hundreds of elongated skulls have now been found of unarmed men killed at ages of 3 to 25 years old indicating genocide.
Wiltshire is where many crop circles are located with one above the Long Barrow. UFOs and strange phenomena are frequently reported in the area. Some people claim Wiltshire is a portal where craft from other planets arrive.
Why has the circle always been considered sacred by all peoples throughout time? Whether made of stone, or simply drawn upon a piece of paper, the circular shape continually generates concentric rings of polarized energy, which can be sensed and dowsed.
Maria Wheatley states, “We have studied and understand the archaeology of Avebury; however archaeology alone can never fully answer why such magnificent sites as Avebury, Silbury Hill and Stonehenge, barrows and Cursus were skillfully crafted by our ancient ancestors.
The prehistoric architects of ancient sites were acutely aware of the Earth’s magnetic energies, which they carefully integrated into the foundation plans of their monuments using a long-lost technology. At Stonehenge, for example, certain megaliths, such as the Altar Stone, were positioned above a geometric earth energy pattern, known as geospiral, to harness the earth force, which perpetually charged the stone with magnetic energy. We can locate these enigmatic patterns in the ritual landscape and begin to sense their energetic power.”
“Looking through the viewfinder of digital cameras – vertical columns of rose colored light rising up from the ground. Yet, our eyes alone could not see the Earth’s whispering light. This is a reoccurring phenomenon associated with contained earth energy. To understand the wider picture we need to recognize the intimate relationship between the Earth Force and the stones.
There is quite a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that extraterrestrial civilizations choose to enter our world at specific planetary locations. These are either on ley-lines or on fault lines where the earth’s electromagnetic field is stronger or weaker than in the surrounding area.”
Note: There is strong evidence that ancient humans worshiped disc shaped and cylinder shaped flying objects. American Indians in Ohio were buried in their mounds with small flat flint circular stones. Although, writing has not been found, it is possible to infer that disc objects observed in the sky became objects of worship. In his scholarly book, “Egyptian Ideas of the Afterlife,” British Egyptologist E.A. Wallis Budge said that the ancient Egyptians were preoccupied with life beyond the grave and that over thousands of years ancient Egyptians had a wealth beliefs concerning immortality and the afterlife. Ancient Egyptian records described a fleet of UFOs moving across the clear blue sky over ancient Egypt.
By Mary Joyce, website editor reports, Entrance into Mars interior discovered,” more satellite images of Mars entrances have been revealed in a video posted December 5, 2015. At first glance, they may seem to be the same entrance, but a closer look reveals different dimensions as well as different details around the edges of the entryways.
According to estimates by Stephen Hannard who discovered the first entrance that it is a huge 3700 feet high and 528 feet wide. CLICK HERE to view a nine minute YouTube video about Mars entrances. It shows how the entryways were found and includes commentary. Hidden objects YouTube
Light from Black Hole
Anything falling into black holes cannot escape, not even light, earning black holes their name. However, as disks of gas and dust fall or accrete onto black holes — say, as black holes rip apart nearby stars — friction within these accretion disks can superheat them to 18 million degrees Fahrenheit (10 million degrees Celsius) or more, making them glow extraordinarily brightly. [The Strangest Black Holes in the Universe]Scientists discovered accreting black holes in the Milky Way more than 40 years ago. Previous research suggested that the accretion disks of black holes can have dramatic effects on galaxies. For instance, streams of plasma known as relativistic jets that spew out from accreting black holes at near the speed of light can travel across an entire galaxy, potentially shaping its evolution. However, much remains unknown about how accretion works, since matter can behave in very complex ways as it spirals into black holes, said study lead author Mariko Kimura, an astronomer at Kyoto University in Japan, and her colleagues.
To learn more about the mysterious process of accretion, researchers in the new study analyzed V404 Cygni, a binary system composed of a black hole about nine times the mass of the sun and a companion star slightly less massive than the sun. Located about 7,800 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, the swan, V404 Cygni possesses one of the black holes closest to Earth.
After 26 years during which the system was dormant, astronomers detected an outburst of X-rays from V404 Cygni in 2015 that lasted for about two weeks. This activity from the accretion disk of V404 Cygni’s black hole briefly made it one of the brightest sources of X-rays seen in the universe.
Following this outburst, the researchers detected flickering visible light from V404 Cygni, whose fluctuations varied over timescales of 100 seconds to 150 minutes. Normally, astronomers monitor black holes by looking for X-rays or gamma-rays.
“We find that activity in the vicinity of a black hole can be observed in optical light at low luminosity for the first time,” Kimura told Space.com. “These findings suggest that we can study physical phenomena that occur in thevicinity of the black hole using moderate optical telescopes without high-spec X-ray or gamma-ray telescopes.” Thanks to space.com
New Jersey Lakehurst Naval Base Sighting
Near Lakewood Naval Base –I was about 12 or 13 years old in June 1963, when I heard a loud humming and fluctuating sound from my front yard I looked up but trees obstructed my view until the craft slowly moved into view right above the tree tops. It then stopped over me. I felt paralyzed and knew to pay attention to everything I saw. The craft was shaped like a disc, but it tapered in the back to a point. It was a little more round at the top and flatter (but not flat) underneath, like a disc. It had three elongated lights around the front, but were spaced. It was about 30-40 feet in diameter. After a few moments, it moved slowly over me and that is when I saw the back of it. I was very scared, thinking- “What is going to happen to me?
I felt like those inside knew I was there and they were observing me and had called me outside. The reason I say this is because I can’t understand why no one else in the house came out. It was so loud! After the craft had moved very slowly over me a very short distance, it took off extremely fast. I became completely hysterical, screaming as I ran into the house. I yelled at my parents to call the police the government but nobody believed me. It wasn’t shaped like a plane and didn’t sound like a plane. My dad went out to look around and said he saw a transport plane out there in the distance. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
This case is under investigation by Chief Investigator Ken Pfeifer of MUFON New Jersey.

Filer’s Files #5 -2016 Secret Space Program - PART II
Sightings in the United States
California Lights
Beach — I didn’t really notice the UFO until I looked closer at the picture. I was on the beach taking pictures on September 20. 2015.
An Unidentified Flying Object was captured in the background that moved in the photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Fork — At 4:18 PM, on January 1 2016, I was taking photographs of the sunset. I did not notice anything in the sky but later I enlarged the photographs, and noticed an object. It appeared to be moving from south to north. I used a Samsung Galaxy 5 phone to take the pictures. The lights on it changed from the pictures and it kept the same shape although a turn was a blur in one of the pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Disc
Bogota – I did not witness the event but saw the news on Facebook, an hour after it happened on January 24, 2016. I found a video on YouTube, and Twitter. There are five balls emitting intense blue light between 8 and 9 pm, moving in the sky.
They changed their pattern of flight, sometimes in a V pattern, then in an M pattern. I do not know what happened at the end of the event, if they landed or disappeared behind the trees.
There are many witnesses. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Orb
I saw the airplane and saw something flying beside the plane. I had my camera with me so I shot the photo of the craft.
I saw how the object was six times faster than the plane flying in the direction of the sea (Is Veschunden.)
It was so fast. It was a great experience during my vacation on April 23, 2012 and it looks like a planet. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maine Object
Turner –I did not know about this craft until I got home and reviewed the footage a few days later after I shot it on December 25, 2015.
I also had a night time sighting on January 5, 2016. I was standing by my car on Pearl Street facing Upper Street on cross road. (MUFON Sighting Report 73673). .I would like to thank my two friends in the UK for their help with photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Missouri Orbs
Reisterstown – I was at my house shoveling out my truck with my neighbors on January 21, 2016. I noticed a beautiful cloud formation and started taking photos one after another. Later when admiring the strange looking clouds, I started to see hundreds of orbs and black cone shaped pyramids in the clouds. Please evaluate photos has there is another explanation for these strange clouds and objects. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Triangle
Bound Brook — I looked out my window at our middle school with tee highway parallel to my apartment building and runs east to west. To the east of my apartment is the Newark airport. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see planes flying low to land at airport. When I went to the window, I saw above the tree line and the school flying west to east 60+ unidentifiable objects on November 8, 2015. Some in formation holding altitude and some not but all moving silently east… I went to get my phone, when I returned I saw at least 60 lights. When I put the phone down, I grabbed binoculars and got a look at the last one. I saw a red triangle glowing with an orange under glow to it. The last one then sped up, moved in a diagonal direction, and disappeared. However, I know what planes, drones and lanterns look like and they did not fit any of those disruptions. Also my phone wi fi was going in and out, normally this doesn’t happen. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Light
Delco – On January 19, 2016, I was in the bathroom talking to wife and had this energy come over me and my inner voice said, “Go outside” twice, and then I heard “West”.
I immediately grabbed my wife and went outside, and took pictures of a Bright Star. It then glided up, turned and seemed to wink at me as it floated away!
It was amazing for me, but scared my wife! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Object
Saylor Park – On January 19, 2016, the first two pictures show the object behind the jet by about an inch. I first saw the object because of flashes of light that I thought was the sun’s reflection. I watched it move from left of the plane to almost over it, and to in front of the plane. These movements were instantaneous.
It would disappear and then reappear in the new location. The plane was heading southwest around 8 AM. After a few minutes, I pulled over to take some pictures. In the third picture, it had disappeared from the field of view, but reappeared three more times. I saw two more flashes directly overhead and it bolted to the northern horizon leaving a visible wake in front of it. This object cleared 140 degrees of the sky in less than three seconds.
Note:If I were looking at the photos alone and did not use the sighting information provided by the witness, I would say that the object is a portion of “un-evaporated” contrail. However, the witness saw the object disappear, reappear and move erratically so this explanation is doubtful. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Oregon Light
Portland– On January 16, 2016, the witness was driving southbound on I-205 at 9 PM and noticed a bright slow moving fiery object. He pulled off Highway 14 and took a video.
He said, “Several vehicles had pulled off the road looking at the object that moved slowly and then disappeared into the clouds.”
The object was oval shaped and left no smoke trail. The object was visible for three to five minutes. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Texas Orbs
Colleyville— Two separate craft were both zigzagging then taking off in opposite directions on January 22, 2016.
I observed them up to up to six different times. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Orb
Everett – On January 16, 2016, I saw seven unidentified flying objects travel over Everett, WA, from south to north. They were not planes, helicopters, drones or anything else I could determine. They were glowing orange, in a round bubble shape and were flying erratically. They were more like hovering with no sound, one after another, about ten seconds apart. They seemed too big and moving too fast to be any kind of Chinese candle. One of them flew in front of the moon just as I was taking the picture.
Note: The witness has made a good argument that the orbs were not Chinese Lanterns or other flotation devices. The winds aloft were from the south which means that orbs were moving with the wind. This “suggests” that they could have been flotation devices or lanterns. Thanks to William Puckett, DirectorWebsite
Sightings All Over the World
Australia Blonde Woman
Sydney — When I was young I had sleep paralysis, and would wake up, but could not move, and had to wiggle a finger until I could break free. Often when I was falling asleep, an electronic sound would fill my ears. I was drawn to light; I often would stare at the bulbs. Once I was staring at the bulb and a fly flew into my eyeball on September 9, 2015. It crawled into my eye, and bopped myself on the back of the head to get it out. When I was 10 years, old a buzz sound came and I saw a beautiful irresistible blonde woman like creature before me. She positioned herself so that I couldn’t see her hands or feet. She was irresistible, I felt intense sexual feelings for her, but she disappeared when I approached. The next time she came to me she allowed me to approach, this but the world burst into a blue flame, exploded into light, then I blacked out.
This was my sexual awakening. After my experience, women have always been drawn to me, throwing themselves at me since 1981. When I was in the Navy, I had an unexplained object removed from my foot. The doctors said from the x-rays it looked like a sewing needle pieces deep in my left heel. The doctors were being strange about it, but they did say they couldn’t get the last piece. I had no memory of stepping on a sewing needle and why was it now in pieces? Thanks to MUFON CMS Kings Langley — I am a police officer for a violent station and I’ve seen and dealt with things no ordinary person would wish upon anyone. But, this actually made me freeze. Because it is extra terrestrial and wasn’t human. I wasn’t scared just frozen. When it knew I was following, it zipped up horizontally into the low grey clouds. I told my close friends and they said NASA sighted a UFO in space hanging over earth on 2 July 2015 so who knows. About 6 am on the 12th of July 2015, I was travelling east along Joseph Banks Drive cross of Whitby Rd Kings Langley. Thanks to Natalie.

Winnipeg – I found when getting directions on Red River Boulevard East and while travelling east on Main Street an object in the sky.
The silver SUV is in the left hand lane and an object is above the tree line by a gas station on the right side of the image. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Iceland Light
Reykjavik — We had a diner reservation at The Pearl Restaurant on December 2, 2015, and decided to take a short cut through some woods. We walked a little before coming to a clearing and saw The Pearl all lit up in front of us. We took some pictures on my IPhone then went inside to eat. Afterwards, when looking through the photos, we noticed a rectangular white light to the right of the building. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Italy Object
On January 18, 2016, I was at the back of my house and noticed an object along with another long object next to it. The other long object seemed to be emitting black smoke. I then ran inside for my camera. When I returned there was only one object left that I quickly started recording. I had no clue what the object was and was very shocked and startled. It appeared almost round and dark. I went inside, later went out to see the object was still there for only a minute, and then disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kenya Light
Nairobi –. I was just looking at the sky at school and saw a light flicker quickly in the sky on January 21, 2016.
I thought it was a shooting star or a light moving in a circular path. It was a light patch, like an orbit in the sky. It was obvious I was scared when it suddenly just disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Zealand Light
Auckland — I was outside on the balcony of my two-storey home having a cigarette at exactly 9:35 pm on January 21, 2016, when I saw a large yellowish ball of bright light that was bigger than the moon flying through the sky. At first sight, it was just above the treetops. It flew through the sky at a steady pace much faster than a plane or satellite. I called for my mother who was also witness to it. It was completely silent and began ascending towards the moon. It flew further away and became smaller until it was slightly bigger than a star and completely vanished in a blink. I heard neighbors commenting on it and believe they were witness to it as well. The moment it disappeared, I heard numerous car alarms go off from around the neighborhood. I was in complete shock yet excited about the encounter. I have never seen anything like it before and I am 100% certain on what I saw. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS
Qatar Lights
Doha, Katara — the sky was cloudy, I was going to my car after the festival, and I see these two weird looking spherical or diamond shaped objects on January 26, 2015.
It was around 7 pm, one flying behind and slightly above the other by around 20-40 meters moving in the same speed. The objects had a very dim light on the bottom and then suddenly after they passed us the light increased in intensity like turning a candle on. A very bright white light kept increasing in altitude into cloud cover. I have witnessed this with a friend and a bunch of people who were also surprised. There was an airplane just seconds before seeing the UFOs. My IPhone 4 was around 70% and after hours, I found my phone totally dead black and not response. I sudden battery failure?? I used my charger and it was fine. It was moving quietly smoothly and disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Flying Objects
Halifax — On early evening Friday I was walking my dog in the local park when I noticed that the moon looked good on January 22, 2016,. Using my Samsung Galaxy S4 I took two photos with a gap of about 20 seconds between the pictures of the moon.
Then I put my phone away and forgot about it until I checked my photos today and spotted something strange. There seemed to be a saucer shaped quickly passing silently in front of the moon. I do not know the objects size. I never noticed anything whilst taking the photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS
St.Helens — Robert Newton writes, “One of several alien Starships hovering were over St. Helens, on Saturday January 9, 2016. This about 1.5 miles away, at 15,000 feet altitude at 9:45 pm!
The object was 12 miles East of Liverpool and I stood about 150 yards west of Chalon Way multi-storey car park without my tripod! I was on the way from Wetherspoon’s,Running Horses Pub! View or comment on Robert Newton’s album »

Vancouver, BC – An exclusive new video published to YouTube on January 28, 2016, purports to reveal how sleep talking-like mirror-encrypted messages in NASA’s communications link between ground control and seven crew members of the Space Shuttle Challengeranticipated both death and search and recovery operations prior to what has been described as the disintegration of the vehicle’s launch assembly 30 years ago today. Mission STS-51-L Flight Director Jay Greene along with Data Processing Systems Engineer A. F. Algate, Flight Dynamics Officer Brian Perry and Ground Control Engineer N. R. Talbott are named in the video as sources of the involuntary disclosures.
CBS News reported earlier in their coverage of the anniversary of this historic event how the mother of astronaut Christa McAuliffe wept openly during the launch before any sign of danger in what reporter Lesley Stahl termed a “premonition” of her daughter’s passing. It was CBS Television who would later audit the analytic procedure used to detect what had remained secret Challenger premonitions undiscovered until the publication of today’s new video.
In multiple closed-door on-camera sessions, journalists and investigative reporters from Cleveland, Ohio’s 19 Action News attempted to discern the mechanism by which this reporter was shown to reveal the secrets of on-air staff and local newsmakers prior to running a story that would garner the station a number one position in the Nielsen sweeps for November, 2006. A sober reading by the anchor who introduced that segment on-air spoke volumes to the lasting impression and respect felt throughout the station for what became one of the great moments in local television news for that season.
Premonitions of death and disaster populate literature of ancient cultures including Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” and the “Mahabharata” (Skr. “Great India”) of Veda Vyasa. Such portrayals resound with faculties of mind transcendent of time possessing extensive knowledge of the past, present and future intrinsic to human experience of the everyday and the extraordinary. The “Bhagavad Gita” contained within the Mahabharata offers possibly the world’s oldest Remote Viewing transcript as the entire text is composed of a narrative uttered by the seer Sanjaya concerning events taking place on a distant battlefield.
The presence of previously undiscovered forensic information concerning secret premonitions in NASA’s ground control communications feed was detected while monitoring mirror-filtered renderings of the ground crew statements. The NASA video soundtrack from the space agency’s commemorative resource tape was loaded in the edit bay of a digital audio workstation then subjected to mirror-filtering and time-expansion in preparation for a detailed auditory study. The conduct of this procedure was informed by best practices refined through repeatedly providing military, forensic and medical-grade intelligence that had been successfully vetted through practical real-world feedback over nearly 20 years of unmatched research and reporting.
NewsInsideOut.com has previously reported how the same procedure publicly revealed details of the Iraq War, identified the BTK Killer, named Russian spy Anna Chapman’s accomplice and uncovered the UFOs and ETs in Edward Snowden’s NSA cache weeks, months and years before such information became widely-accepted public knowledge. Below is a partial transcript of NASA ground control’s statements from January 28 1986, preceded by the pre-incident and post-incident secret messages encrypted backwards therein.
A death:Data processing systems (DPS) engineer A.F. Algate, mission control, Houston: “Liftoff confirmed.”
Big mess. A large search for body: Booster systems engineer: “Three at 65.”
Nesbitt: “… Three good fuel cells. Three good APUs (auxiliary power units)…”
Flight Director Jay Greene: Sixty-five, FIDO…”
Flight dynamics officer (FIDO) Brian Perry: “T-del confirms throttles.”
Ground control engineer N.R. Talbott, mission control: “Flight, GC, we’ve had negative contact, loss of downlink (of radio voice or data from Challenger).”
Greene: “OK, all operators, watch your data carefully.”
FIDO: “Flight, FIDO, till we get stuff back he’s on his cue card for abort modes.”
Greene: “Procedures, any help?”
Unknown: “Negative, flight, no data.”
President Reagan in his address to the nation concerning these events affirmed how “The future doesn’t belong to the faint-hearted. It belongs to the brave.” Website Spaceflight Now offers their version of a NASA Challengerincident timeline along with a complete transcript of voice communications conducted that morning’s events.
Meanwhile in the blogosphere, the astronauts never died but instead lived on to resume normal lives.

The meeting in the gardens of Castel Gandolo: The Good Pope, he met an alien before his death in 1961.
Angelo Roncalli, the Good Pope, he met an alien before his death in 1961.
The meeting in the gardens of Castel Gandolo. All witnessed by Loris Francesco Capovilla. The private secretary of Pope John XXIII. The news appeared in a British newspaper and was later taken over by Sun in 1985. But no one paid any attention.
Today that meeting back in the limelight thanks to a video appeared on YouTube.
It goes around the world. That’s the whole story of a “contact” very special. Walked. The lake is a short walk, the silence of one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. Walked. As they had done a thousand times in those beautiful summer afternoon. Side by side. As two friends. How ordinary people. Who want to sit a bit ‘on the sidelines. Out of the daily routine. It was July. One afternoon in July 1961, when it happened. “They had over our heads. Lights. Were colored lights. Blue. Orange. Amber.
A few minutes, and then … “. And then, it happened. The imponderable. The impossible. What is also difficult to tell. So in one breath. The lights are spaceships. The spaceships are discs in the sky blue of an afternoon in Castel any Gandolo. They move silently. Are. For a few minutes on those two figures unmistakable walking side by side. How ordinary people. Then the contact. One of the spacecraft detaches from the flock. Lands. Stops “on the south side of the garden.” The tailgate opens and the cockpit is something out.
... ‘”absolutely human.” Only. Just … has a light around. A light that surrounds him. Fell to their knees. The two. Then he got up and went without hesitation to Man. Towards that being “absolutely human” wrapped in a soft light and delicate. Penetrating. They talked about. “For about twenty minutes.” But they could not hear those voices. “I did not hear anything.” But talking. Gesticulating. For twenty minutes. 1200, infinite seconds. Then the man turned and went back to where he had arrived. He looked at me. And he wept.

Planeet X: bestaat 'ie dan toch?
Planeet X: bestaat 'ie dan toch?
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Lang hoorden theorieën over een negende planeet in ons zonnestelsel thuis op fora voor doem- en complotdenkers. Maar daar kan op korte termijn wel eens verandering in komen!
De ontdekking Wetenschappers hebben de planeet nog niet direct waargenomen. Ze leiden het bestaan van de planeet af uit het zwaartekrachtseffect dat deze op zes Kuipergordelobjecten zou hebben. De Kuipergordelobjecten hebben allemaal elliptische banen, maar volgen dezelfde richting in de fysieke ruimte. De kans dat dat toeval is, is volgens de onderzoekers slechts 0.007 procent. Maar wat veroorzaakt dan de bijzondere koers van deze objecten? Simulaties tonen aan dat er maar één passende verklaring is: een ons nu nog onbekende planeet.
De oranje baan rechts is de baan van de negende planeet: planeet X. Het kleine ringetje om de zon is de baan van Neptunus. De andere banen zijn Kuipergordelobjecten, die worden beïnvloed door planeet X.
De zoektocht naar planeet X Na de ontdekking van Neptunus in 1846 gingen wetenschappers massaal op zoek naar planeet X. De banen van Uranus en Neptunus vertoonden namelijk afwijkingen die alleen verklaard konden worden door de aanwezigheid van een eventuele negende planeet. Volgens voorspellingen van William Pickering en Percival Lowell schuilde er nog een grote planeet achter de baan van Neptunus. Jaren verstreken en er werden in de negentiende eeuw tientallen voorspellingen gedaan van de omlooptijd, positie en massa van planeet X, maar zonder succes. De mysterieuze planeet werd niet gevonden.
In de twintigste eeuw haakten veel wetenschappers af. Lowell overleed in 1916, waardoor de zoektocht naar planeet X tijdelijk stopte. Een vriend zei ooit dat het feit dat Lowell de negende planeet niet kon vinden een strop voor hem was. Astronoom Clyde Tombaugh zette het levenswerk van Percival Lowell voort en begon – als een van de weinigen – te zoeken naar de negende planeet. Op 23 januari 1930 maakte Tombaugh een foto van een klein stukje hemel. Zes dagen later bracht hij dit gebied opnieuw in kaart met zijn 13 inch astrograaf. Toen hij de platen achter elkaar afspeelde, zag Tombaugh een klein wit stipje verplaatsen: Pluto.
Pluto wordt echter niet gezien als planeet X, daar deze dwergplaneet te klein is om de banen van grote planeten te beïnvloeden. In 1931 dachten wetenschappers nog dat Pluto even zwaar was als de aarde, maar na verloop van tijd daalden de schattingen. In 1978 werd de massa van Pluto vastgesteld op 0,2% van de aarde (oftewel 1/500ste van de aarde). Na 1978 is de zoektocht naar Lowells planeet X hervat, maar tot op heden zonder succes. Wel zijn er relatief grote Kuipergordelobjecten gevonden, zoals Sedna, Quaoar, Makemake en Eris.
PLANEET X
Planeet X werd nooit ontdekt en nieuwe metingen van onder meer de baan van Uranus toonden aan dat er ook niks mis was met die baan en dat er dus geen Planeet X nodig was om deze te verklaren. Maar zelfs daarna bleef het idee van Planeet X zo af en toe opduiken. Bijvoorbeeld in 2012 nog, toen velen – ingegeven door de Maya-kalender – dachten dat de aarde zou vergaan en dat Planeet X daar een leidende rol in zou hebben. En nu suggereert nieuw onderzoek dus voorzichtig dat er inderdaad een onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel huist. De baan ervan is al voorzichtig in kaart gebracht en geen reden tot paniek. Wetenschappers zijn dan misschien een negende planeet op het spoor, het is niet de onheil brengende planeet X.
Grote afstand Maar nu is er dan eindelijk bewijs dat er toch echt een grote planeet in de Kuipergordel schuilgaat. Dat we die planeet nog nooit eerder gespot hebben, is goed te verklaren. Vermoed wordt dat de planeet zo’n 90 miljard kilometer van ons verwijderd is. Bovendien moet een telescoop maar net op het juiste moment de ogen richten op het stukje ruimte waar de veronderstelde planeet zich op dat moment bevindt.
Slag om de arm Het is dus zeker niet ondenkbaar dat ons zonnestelsel nog een planeet bevat. Maar tegelijkertijd moeten we een flinke slag om de arm houden. De planeet is immers nog niet gedetecteerd. In feite voorspellen de onderzoekers – op basis van modellen – dat er op grote afstand van de zon nog een planeet te vinden is. En hoe overtuigend dat bewijs ook is; het is pas zeker als we de planeet daadwerkelijk gespot hebben.
Keck en Subaru Dat spotten van die planeet hoeft echter geen tientallen jaren meer te duren, zo vertelde onderzoeker Mike Brown eerder deze week aan Scientias.nl. “De kans is heel, heel groot dat we Planeet X gaan vinden binnen een periode van vijf jaar.” De Keck-telescopen en Subaru-telescoop zijn – op het moment dat de planeet op het verste punt van zijn baan staat, de aangewezen instrumenten om de planeet te spotten.
“DE KANS IS HEEL, HEEL GROOT DAT WE PLANEET X GAAN VINDEN BINNEN EEN PERIODE VAN VIJF JAAR.”
WISE Het enthousiasme van Brown werkt aanstekelijk. Maar hoe verhoudt zijn voorspelling zich tot een onderzoek uit 2014 dat het bestaan van een grote negende planeet uitsloot? Het onderzoek – uitgevoerd met behulp van ruimtetelescoop WISE – gooit het idee van Brown niet direct aan gruzelementen. WISE sloot het bestaan van een planeet groter dan Saturnus uit, maar de planeet die Brown voor zich ziet, is kleiner. En dat is dan ook de reden dat deze in 2014 niet in gegevens van WISE is opgedoken.
Hard bewijs voor het bestaan van de negende planeet mag dan ontbreken; hard bewijs dat de planeet niet bestaat, is er tot op heden ook niet. En dus zijn het spannende tijden. We zien de wetenschap op z’n best: hypotheses ontwikkelen, toetsen en uiteindelijk bevestigen of ontkrachten.
Tot op heden hebben we in de zoektocht naar buitenaards leven vooral geluisterd. Zonder resultaat: we horen niets. Wordt het dan misschien tijd om naast luisteren ook te gaan praten, oftewel: berichtjes naar ET te sturen?
Zijn we helemaal alleen? Onderzoekers kunnen het zich moeilijk voorstellen. Naarmate ze meer onderzoek doen naar het universum en nieuwe planeten ontdekken, komen ze meer en meer tot de conclusie dat de aarde met haar ingrediënten voor leven helemaal niet zo uniek is. En waarom zou het leven op aarde dat dan wel zijn? Theoretisch gezien lijkt het vinden van buitenaards leven dan ook een kwestie van tijd.
SETI Maar tijd..tja…dat hebben we eigenlijk niet. Wij mensen zijn ongeduldig en velen vinden dat buitenaardse leven liever vandaag dan morgen. En dus werd er enkele jaren geleden actie ondernomen. Men startte misschien wel het beroemdste project gericht op het vinden van (intelligent) buitenaards leven: SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). Met enorme radiotelescopen wordt continu ‘geluisterd’: uiteindelijk hoopt men zo een signaal op te vangen dat overduidelijk afkomstig is van een buitenaardse beschaving en dus bewijs te vinden voor het bestaan van buitenaards leven.
Luisteren naar buitenaards leven. Afbeelding: SETI.
METI Maar hoewel aan SETI verbonden onderzoekers dus al een tijdje hun oor te luister hebben liggen, hebben ze nog niets opgevangen dat wijst op het bestaan van intelligent leven buiten de aarde. Het maakt sommige mensen nóg ongeduldiger. En ze pleiten voor een andere – aanzienlijk actievere – aanpak: niet luisteren, maar spreken! Ze willen actief berichten de ruimte insturen en hopen vervolgens dat buitenaards leven door die berichten ons weet te vinden. Deze aanpak wordt ook wel aangeduid als METI (Messaging to Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) of actieve SETI.
De Areciboboodschap bevatte de meest uiteenlopende informatie: onder meer een tekening van de mens en het zonnestelsel, de getallen 1 tot en met 10 en de atoomnummers van de elementen die de bouwstenen van ons DNA vormen.
Areciboboodschap Het idee van METI is zeker niet nieuw. Sterker nog: wij mensen hebben al wel eens doelbewust berichten de ruimte ingestuurd. In 1974 bijvoorbeeld de Arecibo Message. Met behulp van de Arecibo Radio Telescope werd een radioboodschap richting het grote Herculesbolhoopcluster (op zo’n 21.000 lichtjaar van de aarde) gestuurd. En in de jaren die volgden werden nog regelmatig met opzet boodschappen de ruimte ingestuurd. Een antwoord kregen we nooit.
Discussie Ondanks die initiatieven blijft de mensheid toch voornamelijk een luisterende soort. Want terwijl SETI jaarlijks een flink budget heeft om het oor te luisteren te leggen en dat allemaal ook heel gecoördineerd verloopt, zijn de pogingen om berichten naar ET te versturen een stuk minder professioneel. Vaak gaat het om een eenmalige actie, meer bedoeld om aandacht van het publiek te vragen voor de wetenschap of telescoop in kwestie dan de aandacht van aliens te trekken. De boodschappen zijn bovendien weinig substantieel en soms zelfs ludiek van aard. In de meeste gevallen gaan de zenders er niet eens vanuit dat ze de aandacht van aliens gaan trekken. Kortom: er is tot op heden geen serieuze poging ondernomen om actief een bericht naar buitenaardse wezens te sturen. En daar moet verandering in komen, zo vinden een aantal onderzoekers. Vorig weekend werd daar tijdens een bijeenkomst van deAmerican Association for the Advancement of Scienceover gediscussieerd. Want actief berichten sturen naar een buitenaardse beschaving: dat is een plan met voor- en tegenstanders.
Niet doen! Een argument waar tegenstanders vrijwel direct mee op de proppen komen, is dat we niet weten waar we contact mee leggen. We weten niet hoe het buitenaardse leven eruitziet en welke intenties en vaardigheden het heeft. En wat als dat buitenaardse leven veel geavanceerder is dan wij en ook nog eens kwade bedoelingen heeft? Wat roepen we dan over onszelf af? Tevens wijzen tegenstanders er graag op dat we SETI nog een kans moeten geven. Tientallen jaren zoeken naar buitenaards leven lijkt in onze optiek misschien lang, maar het kost nu eenmaal tijd om het universum af te speuren. Waarom zouden we het vertrouwen in die aanpak nu al verliezen? Een ander tegenargument is het feit dat het wel even duren kan voor een buitenaardse beschaving onze boodschap opvangt. De afstanden in het universum zijn groot en een boodschap kan zomaar duizend jaar of langer onderweg zijn alvorens deze onderschept wordt. Tegen die tijd is de boodschap wellicht allang niet meer relevant (de geschiedenis leert dat er in 1000 jaar een hoop veranderen kan). Bovendien is het twijfelachtig of er 1000 jaar nadat we de boodschap verstuurd hebben nog iemand op aarde te vinden is die daadwerkelijk op een antwoord zit te wachten en dat ook op zal vangen.
“BESCHAVINGEN DIE GEDWONGEN WORDEN OM ZICH TE VERSCHUILEN EN TE BEVEN VOOR VERGEZOCHTE GEVAREN, ZIJN GEDOEMD OM TE VERDWIJNEN”
Doen! Voorstanders kunnen zich totaal niet vinden in de angsten van de tegenstanders. Ze vinden het vaak zelfs angstaanjagender om geen contact te zoeken. Zo schrijft astronoom Alexander L. Zaitsev bijvoorbeeld: “Ik weet het niet zeker, maar volgens mij was Sebastian von Hoerner de eerste die in de jaren zestig aangaf dat ‘apathie’ of ‘verlies aan interesse’ de echte oorzaak is van het uitsterven van geavanceerde beschavingen (…) Beschavingen die gedwongen worden om zich te verschuilen en te beven voor vergezochte gevaren, zijn gedoemd om te verdwijnen.” De voorstanders benadrukken bovendien dat we wellicht een hoop van buitenaards leven kunnen leren: wellicht hebben zij problemen waar wij mee worstelen – ziektes, klimaatverandering – al onder de knie. Een ander veelgehoord argument is dat we – onbedoeld – al flink wat radiosignalen de ruimte insturen. Is het niet beter om naast die vaak vermakelijke radiosignalen ook een radiosignaal uit te zenden dat een heldere, substantiële boodschap heeft en een goed beeld geeft van de menselijke beschaving?
Aliens die reageren op onze berichtgeving: zitten we daar eigenlijk wel op te wachten?
Meer discussie In reactie op de discussie hebben een aantal mensen – waaronder een aantal wetenschappers – recentelijk een statement uitgegeven, waarin ze pleiten voor een wereldwijde discussie over dit vraagstuk. “We hebben het gevoel dat de beslissing om wel of niet een bericht uit te zenden gebaseerd moet zijn op een wereldwijde consensus en niet het resultaat moet zijn van de wensen van enkele individuen die toegang hebben tot krachtige communicatiemiddelen (…) Het opzettelijk seinen naar andere beschavingen in de Melkweg geeft aanleiding tot bezorgdheid voor alle mensen op aarde, zowel als het gaat om het bericht als de consequenties van het contact. Daarom moet wereldwijd een wetenschappelijke, politieke en humanitaire discussie plaatsvinden alvorens een bericht wordt verstuurd.”
Dat het een lastige discussie zal worden, is duidelijk. Dat komt vooral omdat de consequenties van het al dan niet versturen van een bericht niet te overzien zijn. We weten immers niet hoe het buitenaards leven dat we met ons bericht proberen te bereiken in elkaar steekt. Sterker nog: we weten niet eens of buitenaards leven bestaat. Hoe kunnen we dan een onderbouwde keuze voor of tegen het versturen van een bericht, maken? Het lijkt erop dat deze discussie – tegen wil en dank – toch vooral draait om het onderbuikgevoel dat mensen erbij hebben. En daarmee is het twijfelachtig of een wereldwijde consensus überhaupt mogelijk is. Maar laten we hier op Scientias.nl eens een poging wagen. Wat vind jij? Moeten we actief op zoek gaan naar buitenaards leven door berichten de ruimte in te slingeren? En zoja, dan zijn we ook wel heel nieuwsgierig wat er volgens jou dan in die berichten zou moeten staan. Laat het ons hieronder weten!

'We kunnen geen aliens vinden, omdat ze al zijn uitgestorven' 22 januari 2016Caroline Kraaijvanger47
'We kunnen geen aliens vinden, omdat ze al zijn uitgestorven.
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Waarom kunnen we geen buitenaards leven vinden? Omdat leven op andere planeten maar kort kan bestaan en snel uitsterft, aldus onderzoekers.
Wetenschappers vermoeden dat er in onze Melkweg alleen al miljarden leefbare planeten te vinden zijn. Je zou dan ook verwachten dat we al snel op een buitenaards wezen moeten stuiten. Maar dat is tot op heden niet gebeurd. Waar zitten die aliens toch?
ET is dood Wetenschappers van de Australian National University komen met een mogelijke verklaring voor het feit dat we nog steeds geen kennis hebben gemaakt met ET. ET is dood. “Het universum is waarschijnlijk gevuld met leefbare planeten, dus veel wetenschappers denken dat het moet wemelen va de aliens,” vertelt onderzoeker Aditya Chopra. “Jong leven is echter zo kwetsbaar, dat we denken dat het zelden snel genoeg evolueert om te kunnen overleven.”
“JONG LEVEN IS ZO KWETSBAAR, DAT WE DENKEN DAT HET ZELDEN SNEL GENOEG EVOLUEERT OM TE KUNNEN OVERLEVEN”
Instabiele systemen “De meeste planetaire systemen zijn niet stabiel. Om een leefbare planeet te produceren, moeten levensvormen broeikasgassen zoals water en koolstofdioxide reguleren om de oppervlaktetemperatuur stabiel te houden.” Dat is wat levensvormen op aarde waarschijnlijk gedaan hebben. “Leven op aarde speelde waarschijnlijk een leidende rol in het stabiliseren van het klimaat van de planeet,” vertelt onderzoeker Charley Lineweaver.
De aarde, Venus en Mars De onderzoekers wijzen erop dat zo’n vier miljard jaar geleden in ons zonnestelsel meerdere leefbare planeten te vinden waren: de aarde, maar ook Venus en Mars waren mogelijk leefbaar. Maar ongeveer een miljard jaar nadat Venus en Mars waren ontstaan, trad er een – fatale – verandering op. Venus werd een broeikas en Mars werd ijskoud. Als er al leven op de twee planeten was ontstaan, dan moet het ergens in die periode – nog voor het in staat was om het klimaat te reguleren – het veld hebben geruimd.
“IN FEITE WORDT KLIMAATVERANDERING ALIENS DUS AL IN EEN VROEG STADIUM FATAAL”
Geen stabiliteit “Dat we nog geen signalen van aliens hebben gevonden, heeft mogelijk weinig te maken met de waarschijnlijkheid dat er leven of intelligent leven ontstaat,” aldus Chopra. In plaats daarvan zou het alles te maken hebben met het feit dat leven er niet snel genoeg in slaagt het klimaat op een planeet te reguleren, zodat het stabiel blijft. In feite wordt klimaatverandering aliens dus al in een vroeg stadium fataal.
Aliens die al in een vroeg stadium van hun evolutie uitsterven en zo aan detectie door mensen weten te ontsnappen. De onderzoekers noemen het de ‘Gaian Bottleneck’. “Een intrigerende voorspelling op basis van het Gaian Bottleneck-model is dat het merendeel van de fossielen in het universum afkomstig zal zijn van uitgestorven microbieel leven en niet van meercellige soorten zoals dinosaurussen of mensachtigen die miljarden jaren nodig hebben om te evolueren,” stelt Lineweaver.
