World First: Nanobot Micromotors Deliver Medical Payload Inside Living Creature

via internetmedicine.com

Researchers working at the University of California, San Diego have claimed a world first in proving that artificial, microscopic machines can travel inside a living creature and deliver their medicinal load without any detrimental effects. Using micro-motor powered nanobots propelled by gas bubbles made from a reaction with the contents of the stomach in which they were deposited, these miniature machines have been successfully deployed in the body of a live mouse.

The picayune robots used in the research were tubular, about 20 micrometers long, 5 micrometers in diameter, and coated in zinc. Once the mouse ingested these tiny tubes and they reached the stomach, the zinc reacted with the hydrochloric acid in the digestive juices to produce bubbles of hydrogen which then propelled the nanobots along like miniature rockets.

Reaching speeds of up to 60 micrometers per second, the nanobots headed outwards toward the stomach lining where they then embedded themselves, dissolved, and delivered a nanoparticle compound directly into the gut tissue.

According to the researchers, of all the nanobots deployed in the stomach of the mouse, those that reached the stomach walls remained attached to the lining for a full 12 hours after ingestion, thereby proving their effectiveness and robust nature.

IN BRIEF

In a world first, researchers from the University of California have reportedly delivered medicine directly to the stomach of a living organism using nanobots.

NANOBOTS

Scientists from the University of California are claiming that they have managed to deliver a medical payload directly into the gut tissue of a live organism using micro-motored nanobots.

Notably, the team behind the work notes that these little, microscopic machines can travel inside of the living creature and deliver the medical treatment without causing any harmful side effects related to the small bots.

Using micro-motor powered nanobots propelled by gas bubbles made from a reaction with the contents of the stomach in which they were deposited, these miniature machines have been successfully deployed in the body of a live mouse.

The tubular nanobots, which are about 20 micrometers long, 5 micrometers in diameter, and coated in zinc, are propelled by gas bubbles that are produced once the zinc reacts with the hydrochloric acid in the digestive system.

The nanobots travel at speeds of up to 60 micrometers per second and embed themselves in the stomach walls…where they remain after a full 12 hours.

MICROMACHINES

These nanobots have been previously used on organic tissue, but this marks the first time that it was tested on a living organism. The success of this test leads researchers behind the study to further explore the technology as a way to deliver targeted drugs in humans.

However, as is always the case with medical breakthroughs, treatments must undergo rigorous testing and get approval from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) before they can be used. possible application and testing on humans will need to be studied carefully before regulatory organizations give the go-ahead.

So there is no guarantee that this will be implemented, but it is exciting research.

The study, published in the journal ACS Nano, has yet to make announcements regarding the possibility of human-based trials or when such trials may begin.

Extensive System of Caves Discovered Under the Pyramids

Something extremely strange is happening in Giza, both under the pyramids and in the office of Dr. Hawass. Even skeptics of the "Hall of Records" from Atlantis are now forced to admit that something big is being hidden.

In August of 2008 a system of caves was discovered under the pyramids. Certainly this is very big news. But look at the reaction of Dr. Hawass on his website:

Surely Hawass is intimately aware of such a discovery. 

So Why deny it? What is he trying to hide? Dies this have anything to do with the wall that is being built to surround the Giza complex? What secrets don't they want us to know?

Inside Giza's cave underworld

In December 2009, after denying that they existed, Egypt's leading Egyptologist, Dr Zahi Hawass, has had to admit that an excavation team under his charge is investigating an ancient tomb at the centre of claims regarding the alleged discovery of a cave underworld beneath the Pyramids of Giza.

This is a surprising announcement for several reasons, not the least being that the "alleged" cave system has already been explored and photographed by British writer and explorer Andrew Collins. In August 2008, Collins announced that he had rediscovered the entrance to a previously unexplored cave system, entered via a mysterious tomb several hundred meters west of the Great Pyramid.

Collins also found clues left in the 200-year-old memoirs of British diplomat and explorer Henry Salt. Salt wrote how, in 1817, he and Italian explorer Giovanni Caviglia had investigated cave "catacombs" at Giza for a distance of "several hundred yards" before coming across a "spacious" chamber. This chamber linked to three others of equal size, from which went various labyrinthine passages, one of which the Italian later explored for a distance of "300 feet further".

Collins decided to look for these caves in the area where the unmarked star of Cygnus would align in relation to the three pyramids. He discovered a series of catacombs, as Henry Salt had described, but no sign of any caves. Then, as he was about to leave the site he noticed a break in the catacomb wall which eventually revealed the entrance to this huge complex network of caves.

Excited by this monumental discovery, Collins immediately went to inform the Egyptian authorities and expected them to be as excited as he was. Wrong!

Egyptian Authorities Try to Hide the Cave's Discovery

According to Collins,

    "Dr Hawass [Secretary General for Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities] actually denied the existence of the caves. He has done this publicly. Why he has done this is a matter of debate.The most easiest explanation is that the preliminary investigations that he did following our visit to inform him of the discovery of this cave, in April 2008, meant that his people went in the tomb overlooked the entrance, as we did initially."

Fifteen months later, bowing to the inquiries made by the press and Egyptian scholars, Dr Hawass confirmed that he has ordered an all-Egyptian team to explore the tomb at the center of the "controversy". Controversy? How could a discovery on such a scale be controversial?

   "We are clearing this system now, and it is a Late Period catacomb, like many others around Egypt," he stated this week. "There is no mystery about it, and there is no connection with esoteric topics. We will publish our results as part of our normal process."

While applauding Dr Hawass's new interest in the site, Collins remains sceptical of his motives. 
   "We knew in August that he had started clearing the tomb," he said. "The excavations began almost immediately after knowledge of the cave discovery hit the internet."

Collins is also unconvinced by Hawass's explanation of what he calls the "catacomb". "Does his use of the term 'system' now suggest that he has found and entered the caves, which he previously denied even existed? he asks.
"My colleagues and I have examined photographic evidence of dynastic catacombs throughout Egypt, and these all appear to be carved by human hands." -Hawass

But photographs don't lie.

Collins says, "Those at Giza are natural, and penetrate the bedrock for many hundreds of metres, perhaps following the course of local geological faulting."
Although Dr Hawass suggests there is no mystery surrounding the "catacomb", Collins suspects that the caves extend beneath the Second Pyramid, where ancient tradition puts the legendary Tomb of Hermes, Egypt's legendary founder. This is significant because Hermes is known as the Great Wisdom Bringer and Collins suspects that the chambers could possibly reveal something left behind by Hermes - something like the legendary Hall of Records.

The Hall of Records - as Prophesied by Edgar Cayce

According to the legendary psychic, Edgar Cayce, the pyramids were constructed by an ancient civilization that had its origins in Atlantis. This great civilization existed somewhere around 10,000 to 11,000 BC and was responsible for building the Great Pyramid, and for burying the lost history of mankind in a chamber called "The Hall of Records."
"The records are one... (contain)... a record of Atlantis from the beginnings of those periods when the spirit took form or began the encasements in that land." - Cayce

The records extend through the first destructions of that ancient civilization, the exodus of Atlanteans to other lands, and the final destruction of Atlantis. 

They contain a description of the building of the Great Pyramid, as well as a prophecy of "who, what, where, would come [to make] the opening of the records."
Collins says,

"This has never been found. So perhaps it is still there, awaiting discovery, somewhere close to where Salt and Caviglia reached nearly 200 years ago.

"I do believe that the caves that we have entered are part of a much larger complex that stretches right beneath the entire Giza plateau."

Collins explains that the network of caves are natural and resemble Swiss Cheese. He believes they were formed long before the pyramids were built and suggests that they could be the reason the pyramids were built on this site. The early civilizations believed that part of the dying process involved traversing the so-called "underworld" and these caves might have been viewed as the entrance to this underworld. There is evidence of human activity in the deepest parts of the caves.

Satellite images help verify the caves

According to Collins, "Satellite images would tend to suggest that the caves... go all the way to the Second Pyramid." A little west of here archaeologists have found a collection of bird mummies. Since the constellation of Cygnus is historically depicted as a bird, specifically a swan, it is theorized that worshippers left mummified birds as an offering associated with this star configuration or perhaps to Socar, the bird-like figure that was the ruler of the underworld.

From the entrance of the caves it appears that you can travel towards the Second Pyramid and directly under the spot where the Cygnus star, Deneb, would be aligned with the three pyramids and the wings of Cygnus. Is this where we will find the famed "Hall of Records"? Will the Egyptian government allow the world to know about what's really there? Why are they being so secretive?

What's in the caves

As of February 2010, Dr Zahi Hawass revealed that the system of caves was being probed by a host of experts.

"We have experts in all fields working with us," he revealed this week. "Archaeologists, geologists, engineers, and architects, to name a few... I will be posting information about our excavation at Giza on my web site and will be publishing the results of our work in due course."
Work at the cave-tomb, designated "NC2" by American Egyptologist George A. Reisner, has discovered two new rock-cut shafts and stairways leading into a maze of underground chambers and galleries never seen before in recorded history. Dr Hawass has suggested that they may date to the Old kingdom period. It appears that the caves were originally used as catacombs but leter were used for a bird necropolis, where mummified birds and other small animals were offered as sacrifices.

A British man named Richard Gabriel and his partner Judith was able to gain access to the tomb and cave system and take a sequence of breathtaking pictures. The top 5 photos are from the actual tomb.

Notice the many electrical cables (above, left) indicating the level of activity currently being undertaken in the caves (Are they taking out anything of interest? Are they covering up the signs of past civilizations? Are they hiding the entrances to the underground tunnels?). 

Do you remember the YouTube videos about the night time excavations from under the Sphinx? They took out from the tunnels massive covered boxes and sent them to Cairo's airport. The boxes had been loaded into C-17's cargo airplanes belonging to the US Air Force. 

The boxes had been transported ONLY during the night time! The officials denied it, of course!

One photo displays rock simulacrum in the form of a snake's head, making sense of local folk stories which claim that the caves are haunted by a giant snake called el-Nahash (Not again! Every time we dig deep enough, there is always a reptilian figure lurking in the underground!). 

Reference: Viewzone.com;
What if the cave system leads somewhere deeper? Maybe to an underground city. The history of Atlantis is filled with stories of underground cities. A huge underground city has been discovered in Romania (it has 200 square kilometers).

Inner-Earth Civilizations May Soon Reveal Themselves!

Author and researcher David Wilcock told C2C that an alliance of ancient civilizations currently residing inside the Earth may be soon reveal themselves to the world.

 

During the formation of all watery planets in the universe, he explained, hollow cavities form below the surface of the crust and have their own biome that features bacteria which gives off natural light.

 

"What this means is that you can actually live inside caverns in the Earth that have visible light," he marveled.

Based on his research, Wilcock said, "it appears that these cavities are used so that more advanced civilizations have a place they can live while they're managing what takes place on the surface."

 

Over the span of the planet's history, he said, various advanced societies, such as the Atlanteans, took refuge underground in order to survive tumultuous times and ultimately settled in their new subterranean location.

 

While the presence of these civilizations has been a part of UFO lore for decades, he contended that the government has direct knowledge of their presence due to accidentally discovering them via clandestine projects aimed at building secret underground bases.

 

 

"They'll have these tunnel boring machines and sometimes they break through into someplace they're not supposed to go," Wilcock claimed, "and there's already people there."

 

Citing the testimony of contactee Corey Goode, Wilcock revealed that the tenuous relationship between the Inner Earth people and those with knowledge of their existence has recently become fractured.

"This military industrial complex had formerly worked with these people and had treaties with them and is now trying to kill them."

 

As such, these Inner Earth societies have come together in response to the emerging threat and have turned to interstellar entities in the hopes of gaining help in the fight against the forces trying to destroy them.

 

According to Wilcock, a long sought after meeting between the two groups was finally held and Goode was allowed to observe the exchange. The strange summit resulted in a stunning request from the interstellar entities.

 

"The Inner Earth people came out of it quite shell-shocked," Wilcock said, "they have been asked to reveal themselves to us as part of disclosure."

 Should the subterranean societies comply with the request, he mused, "I think we are going to find out that underground bases are much more extensive than we thought and much more ancient."

Depuis près de 40 ans, une polémique fait rage concernant les véritables couleurs de la planète Mars. Notre voisine est-elle vraiment rouge, comme l'assurent la tradition et la NASA ? Ou son aspect est-il bien plus proche des paysages terriens ainsi que le laissent supposer certaines photos ?

La NASA s’efforce-t-elle de nous cacher que la planète rouge est en réalité aussi bleue que la terre ? Cette nouvelle polémique aux relents complotistes est partie de photos prises par le Rover Mars Spirit où l’on découvre un ciel d’azur et un sol rocailleux à la teinte bleu pâle.

© NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS La planète rouge est-elle bleue ?

Le site Ufosighting Daily, qui a recensé d’innombrables « anomalies » martiennes, souvent délirantes mais quelquefois troublantes, a ouvert les hostilités :

   « 99 fois sur cent, la NASA publie des photos avec des fausses couleurs ou en noir et blanc. Mais, cette fois, voici une vue non modifiée du paysage martien. La couleur des rochers varie du blanc au bleu et le ciel sans nuage ressemble au ciel terrien. Je voulais juste vous révéler ce petit secret que la NASA ne veut pas que vous connaissiez. »

Comme d’habitude, Ufosighting Daily n’y va pas avec le dos de la petite cuillère quand il s’agit d’accuser la NASA de cachotteries. Il n’en soulève pas moins un véritable problème : quelles sont les vraies couleurs de la planète Mars, sachant que les photos diffusées par l’agence spatiale américaine sont effectivement retouchées.

En août 1976, Paris Match faisait sa Une sur la première photo du paysage martien envoyée par la sonde Viking. © DR

La controverse ne date pas d’hier. Sur Futura Sciences, Olivier de Goursac, responsable de Mars Society France, rappelle qu’une image prise par la sonde Viking en 1976 avait suscité bien des commentaires : les scientifiques ont fourni à la presse une photo retouchée pour compenser les défauts des capteurs de la sonde. Beaucoup trop retouchée : sur le clichés parus dans les journaux et magazines, le ciel apparaît pratiquement bleu… La NASA a voulu rectifier le tir en publiant un second tirage censé présenter les véritables couleurs martiennes, plus conformes à la tradition. Mais le mal était fait : beaucoup de personnes restent convaincues que c’est la première photo qui est authentique.

       "Pourquoi le ciel de Mars serait-il rouge alors que l’atmosphère est beaucoup moins dense ?"

Pour clore le débat, Olivier de Goursac présente « la preuve des vraies couleurs de Mars ! »sous la forme d’un comparatif entre la mire de couleurs avant l’embarquement sur Mars et la même mire visible sur la planète rouge au début de la mission : « le carré bleu vire au violet sur Mars car la caméra n'a pas de réponse spectrale régulière et laisse passer du rouge et de l'infrarouge: bleu + rouge = violet Il faut donc que le carré bleu tire vers le violet pour que les couleurs de Mars soient bonnes ! »

Ce à quoi le conspirationniste aguerri aura beau jeu de rétorquer : « Qu’est-ce qui empêcherait la NASA de truquer après coup les couleurs de la mire ? » 

Car la question fondamentale demeure : pourquoi le ciel de Mars serait-il rouge alors que l’atmosphère est beaucoup moins dense ?

Pour le spécialiste de l’optique et astronome amateur, Serge Bertorello, « le ciel devrait apparaître sur Mars avec des teintes appartenant à une palette de bleus plus ou moins pâles et peut-être avec une teinte rose aux moments du lever et du coucher du Soleil » explique-t-il dans un article très détaillé publié sur son site.

La raison généralement avancée pour expliquer sur la teinte ocre du ciel martien est la présence d'une grande quantité de poussière rouge en suspension dans l’atmosphère. Mais, poursuit Serge Bertorello, « pour que des poussières colorent sensiblement le ciel, il faudrait qu'elles soient constituées avec des grains de grosse taille (au moins une centaine de micromètres). Or l'atmosphère de Mars est si peu dense qu'il est invraisemblable qu'elle transporte des poussières aussi grosses en grande quantité. »

A l’origine, les photos de Mars présentant un ciel bleu étaient accompagnées de la mention « false colors » (fausses couleurs) signifiant que les images n’avaient pas été rectifiées pour mieux correspondre à la réalité martienne. Un peu comme si un magazine prévenait ses lecteurs de ne pas faire confiance à la photo d’une star trop belle pour être honnête et que les seuls clichés dignes de foi sont ceux où des rides et un peu d’embonpoint ont été rajoutés sur Photoshop…

Pourtant, comme le souligne  Serge Bertorello, de nombreuses images envoyées par le prolifique Rover Curiosity depuis 2012, montrent des paysages à l’apparence très terrestre sous un ciel bleu pâle… Sans la mention « false colors ». Alors ? Mars est-elle « bleue comme une orange ? »

The Stars Within Us: Why Everything in You is Stellar

Paul Sutter is a visiting scholar at The Ohio State University's Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP). Sutter is also host of the podcasts "Ask a Spaceman" and "RealSpace," and the YouTube series "Space in Your Face." Sutter contributed this article to Space.com's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.

Take a deep breath. 

That air filling up your lungs, that oxygen pulled into your bloodstream, stoking your metabolic fire, making you possible, is old. Older than you, older than the Earth itself. That oxygen once lived in the heart of a star that is now long dead. That calcium in your bones? That iron in your blood? The same.

Billions of years ago, there was no Earth, no sun, nor even a solar system. There was just a relatively featureless cloud of gas and dust, hundreds of light-years across. Pretty much in stable equilibrium, that cloud could persist for hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years. But given just a little nudge — perhaps by a nearby supernova going off, sending its blast wave echoing through the nascent cloud — it quickly fragmented, folding in on itself in a complicated tangle of knots and streams. 

Pockets of gas pinch off and catastrophically collapse, in some cases reaching such incredible densities and pressures that nuclear fusion begins deep in the heart of a young system: This is the birth of a star . 

The shattered remains of the cloud organize themselves into a disk. The disk spawns planets that cannibalize more material as they grow and compete for space around the new sun. In fits and starts and collisions, and in migrations and bursts of intense radiation, the leftover debris is cleared from the system, leaving a family: a star (maybe two), a few rocky planets, gas giants, asteroids and frozen leftovers in the outskirts. 

A solar system is born.

It's elemental

A few new elements breeze into the solar system over the millennia, but by and large, what the solar system was born with is all it has. 

The elemental mixture of that primordial gas cloud determines the fate of the system. Not enough silicon? No rocky planets. Just a hint of oxygen? No liquid water on those planets. A bare handful of carbon? Nothing to use to build little critters to swim around in that water. 

But how did this solar system's particular mixture of elements get in that gas cloud oh so many billions of years ago in the first place? To tell the truth, I already gave the answer: fusion. 

In that newborn sun, and in its heart today, a nuclear fire rages. The crushing weight of the sun's own gravity — layer after endless layer of gas trying to squeeze itself into the center — encourages atomic nuclei to overcome their natural repulsion for each other and fuse, like every bad rom-com you've ever seen.

The fusion process leaves a little bit of energy left over , and the countless fusion reactions are enough to power the sun's radiation for billions of years — and give Earth the warmth and light needed to make life possible. 

The process just needs to start with hydrogen, a simple proton. And there is plenty of that in the earliest moments of the universe. All else follows. Every star in the sky, including Earth's own sun, is a massive, sleepless factory for creating new elements. Hydrogen to helium. Onward to carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. In more massive stars, the chain pushes even further, to include calcium, magnesium, neon and argon. All the way to iron and nickel.

Getting heavy

But there, the party stops. After iron and nickel, fusion doesn't produce energy anymore — it takes it. Fusion still happens, but there's nothing to stop the relentless gravitational collapse, no energy production to re-flate the star and balance the contraction. The infalling material tries to jam onto the core, is stopped by the solid iron ball at the center, and quickly retreats. In other words: boom!

A supernova is one of the most fantastic displays of reckless energy seen across the universe . Billions of stars' worth of energy, wasted in a single flash lasting a few weeks. In that energetic inferno, anything is possible. Want to waste energy fusing some new heavy elements? Who cares — there's plenty to spare! Have some more! It's party time!

It's in that furious explosion that the rest of the periodic table is filled out. What wasn't fused in the heart of a star is birthed in the star's death throes, in complicated dances of nuclei and stray neutrons. 

This isn't just a cute bedtime story — this is science, after all, and it requires some evidence. The theory was sweated out in a landmark paper led by physicist William Fowler, who went on to receive a Nobel Prize for his efforts. 

Today, scientists can identify what elements stars are made of, as each element leaves a distinct thumbprint in the starlight. Physicists can observe the fusion happening in the core of Earth's sun by capturing stray neutrinos, a byproduct of the fusion reaction, in detectors here on Earth. Researchers can examine supernova remnants to identify trace elements drifting through the broken clouds. Scientists can explain why some elements are more abundant in the universe than are others: If a particular chain reaction is more common in stars, then the element produced by that reaction will make its mark on the cosmos.

And human beings can see how they really are made of stars — the ashes of long-dead stars, but stars nonetheless. 

Those points of light in the night sky are connected to people in a deep and meaningful way. Human blood and bones are a part of the natural cycle of formation, birth, life and death of humanity's heavenly cousins. People come from stars and will return to the stars; every star dies, and in some fashion spreads its material back from where it came. And when the light from Earth's sun finally snuffs out, it will carry humanity's ashes back into the darkness, to be reshaped again into new worlds, and possibly new life.

Daredevil Paraglider Sails with the Northern Lights in Awesome Video

Horacio Llorens is one of the world's top acro paragliders. He has always wanted to fly during an aurora display, but hadn't managed to time his flight correctly. This month he finally managed it, and you can watch Llorens soar with the aurora in this amazing video released by Red Bull.

It was a difficult photo shoot because the aurora borealis, or northern lights, is most visible in winter. (It is hard to see during the summer at high latitudes because the nights are so short.) And that means cold weather, especially in Norway. The photos were taken near Tromsø, a city of 50,000 that is the northernmost of its size in the world.

Temperatures were about 5 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 15 degrees Celsius) and the weather was damp. On top of that, Llorens had to fly over 28-degree water (2 degrees C). He wore a wet suit to help protect against the possibility of hypothermia.

Snow storms and poor visibility didn't make it easy. To capture these images, Llorens waited on standby for hours in minus-15-degree-C weather, ready for takeoff in very cold, windy and damp conditions. And because he flew above the water, he also wore a wet suit under his flying outfit, in case he had to land on the 2-degree-C water.

"I've found out that flying at night is difficult, especially this far north and during the winter," he said in a statement released by Red Bull. "Tromsø was different from everything I'm used to. It was cold and dark, the wind was strong, and I was surrounded by water. So every decision was important."

To get his images, Llorens had to use the latest video technology, which allowed him to capture the lights themselves. Auroral displays are visible to the eye, but difficult for cameras to pick up; usually, videos of them are time-lapse images. Using newer cameras, Llorens was able to make his videos in real time.

"X-Files" sur la Fox : cette série fait parfois écho aux fantasmes des ultra-conservateur

Par Kevin Alleno
Doctorant en science politique

LE PLUS. 14 ans après la fin de la série, "X-Files" revient sur la Fox. Et le retour de Mulder et Scully était visiblement attendu : le premier épisode a réuni 16 millions de téléspectateurs. Pour Kevin Alleno, doctorant en science politique, la reprise de cette série en pleine la campagne électorale américaine a un sens : "X-Files" lui rappelle les fantasmes de certains conservateurs.

Édité par Anaïs Chabalier 

David Duchovny et Gillian Anderson dans "X-Files" (Fox Broadcasting Co.).

"X-Files", série culte des années 90, revient à la télévision après 14 années d'absence. Ce programme diffusé par la Fox, réputée pour être conservatrice, apparaît politiquement quelque peu orienté.

À bien y regarder, la série semble effectivement correspondre au "style paranoïaque" caractérisant la manière de faire de la politique des ultra-conservateurs.

"Style paranoïaque" et ultra-conservatisme

Avec le complot extra-terrestre placé au cœur de la série transparaît l'idée, chère aux ultra-conservateurs, que l’État est le problème. L'idée du complot, si elle est universelle, a toujours eu un grand succès dans l'histoire des États-Unis, surtout dans les franges extrêmes du conservatisme.

Ainsi, la conjuration visant à anéantir les humains et à les remplacer par des extra-terrestres n'est pas sans rappeler le fantasme de certains mouvements conservateurs concernant une extermination programmée des protestants par les catholiques vers la fin du XIXe et le début du XXe siècle.

Richard Hofstadter, historien du XXe siècle, assimila la droite radicale américaine à un "pseudo conservatisme" s'exprimant essentiellement par "le style paranoïaque". "X-Files", notamment à travers son personnage principal, l'illustre parfaitement. Le trait fondamental du "style paranoïaque" est ainsi de supposer :

"L'existence d'un complot organisé autour d'un vaste réseau international, procédant de façon insidieuse, doté d'une efficacité surnaturelle et visant à perpétrer les actes les plus diaboliques qui soient." [1]

Remplacer "communistes" par "extra-terrestres"

L'efficacité surnaturelle est claire dans la série puisque la cabale est menée par des extra-terrestres bénéficiant de surcroît du concours du gouvernement américain. Hofstadter décrit également dans son ouvrage les postulats de base de l'ultra droite américaine :

"D'abord, l'idée d'une conspiration permanente à l'œuvre depuis plus d'une génération […]. Deuxième affirmation : les hautes sphères de la bureaucratie gouvernementale ont été infiltrées par les communistes […]. Troisième et dernière assertion : un réseau d'agents communistes s'est introduit dans le pays [...], si bien que l'ensemble de l'appareil éducatif et religieux, la presse et les médias de masse s'emploient de concert à étouffer toute forme de résistance de la part des bons et loyaux américains" [2].

Remplacez "communistes" par "extra-terrestres" et vous obtenez l'intrigue de '"X-Files".

Mulder, Washington parano

Toute la série est imprégnée de cette méfiance pour ne pas dire hostilité envers l’État, caractéristique de l'ultra-droite américaine.

Autre élément amplifiant l'appartenance au "style paranoïaque" : l'appréhension de ce complot "en termes apocalyptiques" car "il en va de la naissance et de l'extinction de mondes, d'ordres politiques et de systèmes de valeurs tout entiers", en l'occurrence rien de moins que l'existence de l'humanité.

Et Mulder est ce "membre de l'avant-garde […] capable en tant que tel de percevoir l'existence de la conspiration avant qu'elle ne s'impose comme une totale évidence auprès d'un public encore ignorant". "Le paranoïaque est un leader prêt au combat" nous dit Hofstadter [3].

L'affaire se résume ainsi pour Mulder "à un affrontement entre le bien et le mal appréhendés comme deux absolus", interdisant de ce fait tout compromis. Le méchant de la série correspond aussi parfaitement à ce modèle. L'homme à la cigarette incarnant la conspiration est le "parfait modèle de méchanceté", "sorte de surhomme amoral : maléfique, omniprésent, puissant, cruel [...]" [4].

Un autre détail symptomatique du "style paranoïaque" est "l'importance particulière attachée à la figure du renégat" illustrée dans la série par les informateurs de Mulder [5].

Des clins d'œil qui font relativiser

Enfin, le dernier élément rapprochant le personnage principal du "style paranoïaque" est sa "pédanterie", à savoir le "soin minutieux apporté" à sa démonstration.

"Par leur nature même, ces conclusions invraisemblables exigent une quête héroïque de 'preuves' attestant que l'incroyable est la seule chose à laquelle on puisse croire" [6]. Dit autrement par Mulder : 

"La vérité est ailleurs."

Heureusement, certaines répliques ironiques et de nombreux clins d'œil historiques viennent relativiser cette matrice conservatrice. Ce qui nous évite, au passage, d'imaginer Mulder en électeur potentiel du Tea Party !

The truth really IS out there: CIA releases thousands of declassified 'X-files' on aliens, flying saucers and other unexplained phenomena

• The documents coincided with the return of The X-Files after 10 years
• The organization said the top-secret documents would be interesting to both 'believers like Agent Mulder and skeptics like Agent Scully'
• All of the documents are dated from the late 1940s to the 1960s
• Some of the documents do not find an explanation for the UFO sightings
• The CIA has always denied having any proper intelligence about aliens

By DAILYMAIL.COM REPORTER

The CIA has released thousands of declassified documents on flying saucers, aliens and other unexplained phenomena. 

'We've decided to highlight a few documents both skeptics and believers will find interesting,' the agency said on its website.

The post continued: 'Below you will find five documents we think X-Files character Agent Fox Mulder would love to use to try and persuade others of the existence of extraterrestrial activity.'

All of the documents are dated from the late 1940s to the 1960s, but were top-secret until now.

Scroll down for video 

Unexplained happenings: The CIA recently released files from its archives investigating reports of alien and UFO sightings. The organization said the declassified documents will interest both believers and skeptics

Investigations: Some of the documents do not find an explanation for the reported UFO sightings, but also do not have evidence they happened in the first place 

One of the files attached to the post is a document from East Germany in 1952, where agents were called to investigate what witnesses described as a 'huge flying pan'.

The object was said to have a diameter of about 15 meters, according to the document.

Similar flying saucers were also spotted in North Africa and Spain, the report said.

• What IS this bright object flying in the sky? Man claims to...

'The picture [of the object] shows a diagonal stripe of diminishing width and lighter in shade than the sky over the dark bulk of a building cornice,' it was noted.

Included with some of the documents were three pictures of the alleged extraterrestrials.  

One of the photos - taken by British student Alex Birch in 1962 - claimed to show a group of flying saucers flying over the city of Sheffield in the UK.

Flying saucer: This picture of an unexplained flying object was taken over Passoria, New Jersey in July 1952

Some of the pictures taken at the scene of the incident, for which no explanation has been offered 

However the photo was proven to be a hoax. 

The files also detail a case of flying saucers that were spotted over what was formerly Belgian Congo.

The document reveals that two 'fiery discs' were seen over a uranium mine, and that the discs had 'glided curves and changed position many times'.

It then adds: 'Suddenly, both discs hovered in one spot and then took off in a unique zigzag flight to the north east.

'A penetrating hissing and buzzing sound was audible to onlooker below. The whole performance lasted 10 to 12 minutes.'

Subject - Flying Saucers: This is one of the documents released by the organization investing sightings, dated October 5, 1952

The CIA has released thousand of top secret UFO files from its archives. One of the documents is seen here, showing a sketch of a 'flying saucer' 

An aircraft was then set to investigate the object, and got with meters of the saucer and according to the pilot, the inner core of it remained totally still while the a knob opening could be seen from the outside.

The pilot then gave up his pursuit when the 'disc' appeared to disappear.

Also contained in the files is the case in Socorro, New Mexico in 1964, when police officer Lonnie Zamoraspotted a large flame rise from the ground and pierce the sky above a remote patch of desert.

He went to investigate and found a shiny object the size of a sedan perched on the hilltop, which was oval in shape and aluminium in color.

The object then began to rise into the air and then sped away from him over the mountains and disappeared.

One of the files attached to the post is a document from East Germany in 1952 (pictured in part), where agents were called to investigate what witnesses described as a 'huge flying pan'

One of CIA documents even gave a 10-point list on what to do if someone were to spot a purported UFO, which was posted to Twitter.

'Take several pictures of the object; as many as you can. If you can, include some ground in the picture of the UFO,' the agency advised.

However the CIA seemed to side more with Agent Dana Scully, the character played by Gillian Anderson, who for the entire succession of the cult Sci Fi series denounced her belief in the supernatural.

In releasing the documents, the CIA said they were proving that 'there is a scientific explanation for UFO sightings'.    

The CIA even tweeted a list of what to do in the event of sighting a possible UFO. It tagged The X-Files, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny in the post

The CIA has always denied having any proper intelligence about aliens.

But it has often organized scientific panels to discuss the nature of these allegedly alien objects.

The scientists typically concluded that 'the subject UFO is not of direct intelligence interest', the website RT reported.

The release of the documents coincide with the long-awaited return of The X-Files on Sunday.

The beloved show was rebooted by the Fox Network after 10 years, with its two original stars reprising their roles. 

Stephen Bassett, executive director of the Paradigm Research Group, who is campaigning for the US government to admit aliens are visiting Earth, told The Mirror that the CIA appears to have used the return of The X-Files to their benefit. 

'It appears the CIA used the revival of the X-Files franchise as a convenient time to remind the public the agency has, in fact, engaged the extraterrestrial presence issue in the past,' Bassett told the newspaper.

'Post-disclosure the CIA will have substantial public relations issues as it has played a significant role in maintaining the truth embargo over six decades.

'These recent postings could have an inoculative effect in service to the agency's future PR strategy.'

They're back: Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are drawn back into the world of the X-Files in this still from the new season of the show

Agents Scully and Mulder are seen here in a still from season seven of The X-Files, which aired in May 2000

Earth's Aurora Erupts With Powerful X-Ray Display

Although its job is to search for powerful energies emanated by distant cosmic objects, ESA's INTEGRAL space observatory recently turned its eye toward Earth and saw our home planet's aurora glowing brightly with powerful X-rays.

PHOTOS: Epic Auroras Throughout the Solar System

The animation below is made from data acquired by INTEGRAL's IBIS/ISGRI instrument on Nov. 10, 2015. Although Earth isn't itself visible its position and northern rotational pole is noted by the light blue lines as the data were captured across 8-minute intervals. The X-ray emissions from auroras dancing above Russia, Canada, and Greenland are visible as bright red, yellow, and white flashes.

Coincidentally these same auroral displays were also captured from low-Earth orbit by NASA astronaut Scott Kelly. The photo below was shared on Twitter by Kelly to mark one of the 15 sunrises ISS astronauts experience every day, as well as the completion of day 228 of his year-long mission aboard Station.

Auroras are the result of charged particles streaming out from the sun getting caught up in Earth's magnetic field and "funneled" back down toward the poles, from where the magnetic field lines originate. When these particles collide with atoms in the atmosphere radiation is emitted across a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum, including visible light.

ANALYSIS: Getting Intimate with a Black Hole Behemoth

Launched Oct. 17, 2002, ESA's International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is a 4-ton, 16-foot (5-meter) -tall spacecraft designed to observe the universe in high-energy wavelengths, specifically gamma rays from supermassive black holes but also in X-ray and select optical wavelengths. It orbits Earth at distances ranging from 6,200 miles (10,000 km) to 87,000 (140,000 km), outside the most harmful and interfering energy of the radiation belts.

On rare occasions INTEGRAL is aimed toward Earth to block out the background field and allow scientists to calibrate the instruments. It just so happened that this time Earth put on an X-ray performance of its own.

ANALYSIS: Black Hole Wakes Up, Torments and Eats a Planet

"Auroras are transient, and cannot be predicted on the timeframe that satellite observations are planned, so it was certainly an unexpected observation," said INTEGRAL Project Scientist Erik Kuulkers. "Although the original background X-ray measurements didn't go quite to plan this time, it was exciting to capture such intense auroral activity by chance."

INTEGRAL is the result of an international collaboration between ESA and the U.S., Russia, the Czech Republic, and Poland, and includes instruments from research teams in Italy, France, Germany, Denmark, and Spain. Learn more about the INTEGRAL mission here.

CERN dangers revealed – Paperclip Nazi’s and the Cosmology Cartel

Dark Journalist and Dr. Joseph P. Farrell explores the deep political roots and global dangers of the controversial particle physics experiment by CERN called The Hadron Collider, which was set up in Geneva, Switzerland with a massive military style budget of over six billion dollars!

Dr. Farrell's research exposes CERN's official story of the so-called "Atom Smasher" Hadron Collider Project, as being ostensibly created for peaceful scientific experiments in particle physics, and reveals that it is actually a dangerous advanced technology project set up for secret military purposes and is seeking the ability to manipulate matter on a galactic scale and possibly even open dimensional doorways.

Strangelets Danger 

He cites the massive disturbances in the magnetosphere of the earth when the Hadron Collider is turned on and outlines that it may have serious consequences for physical life on earth and a major impact on the rotation of the planet itself.

We also will discover that voices in the scientific community have raised objections that CERN is unsafe due to the potential development of "Strangelets" a distorted potential byproduct of the matter smashing experiments that have been compared to mini black holes that suck in all dense matter and energy.

He also shows the undeniable similarity between the CERN Hadron Collider and a Nazi Physics project called The Bell" that was an underground Torsion Physics project built by slave labor and overseen by the top Nazi Scientists to give them a master weapon to rule the world!

Deep State Nazi Connections 

Dark Journalist and Dr. Farrell investigate the history of CERN and demonstrate clear links of a post-war Nazi International through the figure of John J. McCloy , lawyer for notorious German corporate conglomerate IG Farben. McCloy was also the Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations and became the American High Commissioner for post World War II Germany.

In a controversial action, McCloy helped clear and vet over 70,000 Nazis (yes, 70,000!) helping to utilize their intelligence networks to set up the CIA.

One of the major figures that he cleared was top Nazi legal theorist and prisoner of war Dr. Walter Hallstein who was eventually responsible for helping to set up CERN and who was also a key architect for developing the the Nazi plan for a European Federation that was eventually adopted as the blueprint for the European Union. McCloy, in a strange twist, also served on the Warren Commission to whitewash any Deep State connections to the JFK Assassination.

JFK was famously committed to "Smashing the CIA into a thousand pieces" as a way to root out the Nazi infiltration of the agency and regain control over the government from suspected Nazi collaborators like CIA director Allen Dulles.

Revealing, groundbreaking, shocking, unnerving, and rife with controversial, staggering implications of a massive covert military project hiding in plain sight.

Monsterlijke gaswolk met kracht van twee miljoen zonnen ligt op ramkoers met aarde

Nu ook Amerika in ban van vreemde geluiden ( VIDEO )

Een paar weken geleden werd in Nederland over bijna niets anders gesproken dan de vreemde geluiden in de lucht. 

Nu is het vooral de beurt aan de Amerikaanse oostkust waar vreemde geluiden worden gehoord en “sonic booms” waarbij alles schudt en trilt als bij een aardbeving. 

Enkele dagen geleden ontvingen wij het volgende bericht van iemand die zich aan de oostkust van Amerika bevindt. 

“Just wanted to let you know there are a series of loud sonic booms that are going on all across the east coast of the US, they are shaking the earth and everything”. 

Een combinatie van vreemde geluiden en het gevoel alsof je midden in een aardbeving terecht bent gekomen, terwijl dat niet het geval is. 

Enige weken geleden hoorde je ook in Nederland niets anders dan mensen die vreemde geluiden in de lucht hadden gehoord. Nu is het hier weer wat afgezwakt, maar in andere delen van de wereld duikt het nu dus weer op, zoals in Amerika. 

Er lopen eigenlijk een aantal fenomenen door elkaar heen. We hebben de vreemde geluiden zoals we die in Nederland hoorden, maar wat men in Amerika ook hoorde waren zogenaamde “sonic booms” en het gevoel alsof men in een aardbeving terecht was gekomen omdat alles trilde. 

Het standaard antwoord van de autoriteiten is altijd dat er ergens een vliegtuig door de geluidsbarrière is gebroken. 

Wanneer er ergens een vliegtuig door de geluidsbarrière gaat dan zal dat echt niet langs de gehele Amerikaanse oostkust te horen zijn. 

Een voorbeeld van wat er in Amerika waar te nemen was, is te zien in de volgende video: 

Een paar mensen die in een auto zitten, een heel merkwaardig geluid horen in de lucht en een auto die heen en weer gaat waardoor zij ervan overtuigd zijn dat ze in een aardbeving terecht zijn gekomen. 

Deze video is gemaakt in New Jersey en het bericht dat wij ontvingen is afkomstig uit South Carolina. 

 

Enkele dagen daarvoor werden bewoners van El Salvador opgeschrikt door dezelfde “sonic booms” en vreemde geluiden. 

Al met al duurde dit ongeveer drie uur en een voorbeeld van hoe het daar klonk, is te horen in de volgende video. 

 

Het verschijnsel van “sonic booms” zoals zich dat enkele dagen geleden in Amerika voordeed, hadden we ook in 2013 in ons land en wel in Friesland. 

Ook toen stond overal de telefoon roodgloeiend van mensen die meldingen maakten van aardbevingen terwijl er geen aardbeving was. 

"Daar zat ik dan vanmiddag. Thuis in Friesland, rustig een beetje aan het werk achter mijn laptop. Totdat gerommel aan de tussendeur mij liet schrikken. De honden sloegen direct aan. Het gegrom en geblaf, maakte mij nog angstiger. Het leek net of er iemand aan de andere kant aan de deur aan het schudden was. Er flitste van alles door mijn hoofd.“Staat de achterdeur nog open? Is er iemand via de achterkant bij ons naar binnen gedrongen? Hellup!!” 

Verschrikt bel ik mijn partner om te vragen wat het kon zijn. Ik, angsthaas als ik ben, durfde niet zomaar te gaan kijken. Hij zei dat het misschien tocht zou kunnen zijn die door de brievenbus kwam. Nee dus, want die zit potdicht. Nou ja, het zal wel niks zijn, want als er daadwerkelijk iemand in huis bleek te zijn, dan had hij of zij de tussendeur wel opengedaan, lijkt me. 

Ineens werd alles duidelijk toen dit bericht mij onder ogen kwam. Een soort aardbeving in Friesland. Trillingen van lucht, maar niemand weet waarvan of waardoor het komt. Bizar, maar waar. Het moet niet gekker worden. Ik was niet de enige die zich lam is geschrokken, want ook op Twitter brak de hel los, zo het schijnt. Wel bijzonder om nu te kunnen zeggen dat ik een “aardbeving” heb overleefd. Hallelujah!" 

Wat we toen in Friesland zagen, was klaarblijkelijk een voorproefje voor wat er verder nog ging komen. Datzelfde fenomeen, gekoppeld aan de steeds verder toenemende vreemde zoem- of bromgeluiden, doet zich nu overal ter wereld voor. 

In de volgende video wat voorbeelden van vreemde geluiden zoals die overal ter wereld in de maand januari te horen waren. Voorbeelden uit Amerika, Canada, Engeland, Schotland, Dubai, Singapore, Noorwegen en Polen.



Misschien ook weer niet zo vreemd allemaal als je bedenkt dat er een mini zonnestelsel onze kant op komt.

CIA Releases Some Of The Best UFO Sightings In The World

George Stock of Passaic, New Jersey has apparently snapped a series of pictures of a mysterious disc on July 29, 1952.

With the CIA highlighting the top secret investigations it implemented in the 1940s and 1950s, a series of historical UFO sightings has been released, including one of Mr Stock’s pictures.

For some reason, the US intelligence agency uploaded some of its formerly secret UFO case files to its website. UFO conspiracy theorists have been accused the CIA has been accused of a major cover up involvement to hide the evidence of ET life from the public.

Mr Stock stayed in his yard with a friend when they reportedly noticed the object in the sky at around 4:30 pm. He ran inside to his house to get his camera, before shooting five photos of the strange flying object.

Flying at approximately 200 feet before it flew away at a very high speed, the witnesses described the object as solid and metallic with a transparent domed top.

The two friends said it had a blue to grey color and around 10 meters across. It made no noise, the pair further claimed.

No substantial evidence to give absolute conclusion over the pictures. One of the speculations was that the apparent UFO could have been an elaborate hoax with the help of a saucer and an upturned teacup.

The CIA may not be just interested in UFO sightings above the American sky. The CIA also posted another image online involving a fleet of dark-looking flying saucers taken over Sheffield, in northern England, in 1962. Investigators and the media remained baffled of the saucers’ identity for ten years until the perpetrator of the hoax confessed everything.

Then 24-year-old salesperson, Alex Birch, admitted in October 1972 that he and two friends were responsible for the deception. Birch was a 14-year-old schoolboy then. He revealed that they painted five flying saucers on the  glass and photographed them to give an impression of UFOs in the air.

The CIA also published an image of a massive, bright, strange-looking object that allegedly snapped on October 20, 1960, over Minneapolis in Minnesota. It is difficult to determine the object in the image, but it is believed to show a cloaked UFO – a term that applies to a flying saucer when it hides through the clouds to conceal itself.

Colorado is known for its glowing orbs that come and go above the mountain ranges. Colorado Police have recorded them, mayors have reported seeing them and thousands of eyewitnesses have seen them at the same time, and yet, the US government has continued to deny that they exist. Aliens are real. Don't believe it...know it.

News states:
HOOPER, Colo. -- As part of the new series "Colorado’s Unexplained Stories," we’re taking a trip four hours south of Denver to the San Luis Valley. The area is nicknamed "The UFO Hot Spot of America." Apparently, there are more UFO sightings there than anywhere else in America. Locals refer to Highway 17, which cuts through the valley, as "The Cosmic Highway." If you take the highway into Hooper, you’ll eventually pass by an oddly shaped dome-like structure known as "The UFO Watch Tower." It was created by Judy Messoline 15 years ago. “What I find is we get people here because they need a place to talk about it and especially ones that have had experiences. Especially abductees,” Messoline said. Ask anyone who lives in the Hooper area if they’ve ever seen anything weird in the sky and chances are each one of them will tell you "Yes." Their experiences inspired Messoline to create the tower. It features plenty of things, including a log book where people can write their run-ins with the unknown. “I had an air traffic controller from DIA come in who said they get six to eight UFO reports from pilots every month. Now figure that one out,” Messoline said with a chuckle.

News states:
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. 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.’” Sue has been an avid UFO spotter for most of her life and in 2010 had an experience she describes as an abduction, around the same time crop circles were found at Castle Hill.She said: “I was sorting my things out for the morning and running a bath. I walked back into the bedroom and it was like I had gone into a trance.

 “I sat down on the bed and the next thing, some figures appeared. They were really small and they had black skin or were wearing black suits. “They had long, thin arms and their faces were obscured, like a liquid. I was thinking, ‘oh God, what’s happening here?’ “They came to the side of the bed and something like a veil came over me. The next thing I knew I was in a space on a craft looking at Earth.“The craft was iridescent like a bubble, I could see everything around me. I was thinking, ‘how can I be looking at the Earth?’ “The creatures spoke with telepathy and were showing me the Earth. At once there was a massive explosion on Earth, like a mushroom, and my heart sunk. “When the creature put its hand on my shoulder it was like ET with a long middle finger. It was like it was feeding off my emotions. I remember the creature saying, ‘don’t worry, you will be all right’. “I didn’t feel they wanted to harm me or the people on Earth, I think they were concerned about what’s happening on Earth. We are destroying the planet.” Sue said all of a sudden she woke up fully dressed lying on the bed. Hours had passed since her last memories from her bedroom. She said: “I tried to get up and I couldn’t stand up. I felt sick. I tried to do my normal routine, getting ready for work, but it was like I was jetlagged. “I saw my neighbour and he asked me what was wrong. I said, ‘I think I’ve been abducted’. He just laughed. “I thought I was going crazy so I went to the doctor. He just looked at me and sent me straight to a psychiatrist, who said I was okay. I knew I was fine. More at source.

MUFON’s Conclusion of a UFO Sighting in P.E.I. Disputed

Many theories have emerged to explain the UFO sighting, but national UFO group not rocked. The subject matter is a UFO sighting in June 2014 off P.E.I.’s North Shore.

John Sheppard recorded an eight-minute video that showed bright lights in the sky over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. He was camping in the late spring of that year at Twin Shores campground when he shot the video.

He submitted the footage to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) of Canada, which investigated the sighting and concluded it was an unknown aerial vehicle.

But many people are looking to debunk that conclusion. Canada’s Halifax president of the Royal Astronomical Society, Paul Gray, who has been taking photographs for 27 years, believes the thing in the Sheppard’s video is likely the 11:42 p.m. Air Canada flight approaching the Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport. He explains the main runway of the airport is directly in line with the area of the North Shore where the filming is done.

He further says that the aircraft’s landing lights are turned on ten to fifteen minutes prior arrival and visible up to 160 km away, making it possible for anybody on the P.E.I shore to see them.

As for the light’s erratic behaviour, Gray says that if someone 10 to 20 miles from an airport uses a cell phone and holds it for 5 minutes or more while taking a video of the plane on approach, will also give a result that looks almost the same, which is a bright light bouncing around the screen.

However, assistant director of MUFON Canada, Stu Bundy isn’t convinced with Gray’s explanation. He says that the director of MUFON B.C. is an astronomer and ex-pilot, and he doesn’t think it is an aircraft on approach.

Bundy states their investigator looks into flight schedules out of the Charlottetown and Halifax airports that time of the night.

Bundy also says that they can be wrong, but he stands by MUFON’s conclusion.

A former worker at the P.E.I. National Park, Hugh McCormack, believes the video shows two parachute flares dropped from Canadian military aircraft, which he has witnessed during search-and-rescue training or regular exercises.

Bundy says MUFON is glad to sift through all theories but adds “this is a very polarizing subject with many on both sides who believe they know the truth.”

Ross Thompson, a Thunder Cove cottage owner, offers a third theory. He reveals that he once thought he saw a UFO in the summer of 2014 between his cottage and the water late one evening. But after some investigations, he found out that it was a large drone with multi-coloured lights operated by a cottage renter in the area.

Thompson says he sees red, blue and white lights, plus another one bright light. It flies very similar to the man’s video- moves up and down fast and at approximately the same altitude to the one in the video, says Thompson.

Bundy says they consider the possibility of a drone, but one of MUFON’s field investigator, who owns a drone company, states that it doesn’t have any characteristics or not many of a drone.
