Moon Mission's Living Monuments: Apollo 14's 'Moon Trees' 45 Years Later
Moon Mission's Living Monuments: Apollo 14's 'Moon Trees' 45 Years Later
Moon Trees, like this one at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, stand as living monuments to the 1971 Apollo 14 mission.

They are spread across the United States, standing as living monuments to a moon mission 45 years ago this week.
The "Moon Trees" — redwoods, loblolly pines, sycamores, Douglas firs and sweetgums sprouted from seeds carried to the moon and back between Jan. 31 and Feb. 9, 1971 — are reminders of the Apollo 14 mission, even if some, if not many, of the trees' locations have now been lost to the passage of time.
Apollo 14 was the third mission to land astronauts on the moon. Commander Alan Shepard and lunar module pilot Edgar Mitchell explored the moon's Fra Mauro highlands, while command module pilot Stuart Roosa orbited above. Shepard and Mitchell conducted two moonwalks, almost making it to the rim of Cone crater while using a pull cart to carry their equipment and collect moon rocks. [NASA's 17 Apollo Moon Missions in Pictures]
Shepard, who 10 years prior had become the first United States astronaut to fly to space, was the first commander to wear red stripes on his spacesuit, an identifier still used by NASA today. Shepard was also the first to hit a golf ball off the moon, a record that is perhaps better remembered today, four and a half decades later, than Apollo 14's other, more official achievements.
While Shepard was packing the "little white pellets" for his "miles and miles" moon shot, Roosa chose to fly with him 500 tree seeds as a nod to his previous history as a smoke jumper for the U.S. Forest Service.
The five species of seeds, which were provided to Roosa by the Forest Service's genetics research staff, were more than just a memento of the flight.
"It was part science, part publicity stunt," Stan Krugman, a former Forest Service geneticist, told NASA in 2002. "The scientists wanted to find out what would happen to these seeds if they took a ride to the moon. Would they sprout? Would the trees look normal?"
Unfortunately, a mishap with the seeds after they returned to Earth made their fate even less certain: the canister that held the seeds for their flight to the moon was burst open during its decontamination, scattering its contents.
But the trees did grow, and by 1975, saplings were ready to leave Forest Service nurseries to be planted across the nation.
"We wanted to give them away as part of the bicentennial celebration in 1976," Krugman recalled.
The first of the Moon Trees, a sycamore, was planted with Roosa's help in Philadelphia's Washington Square Park on May 6, 1975. (The tree that grows there today is a clone of the original, which died in 2011.) [Apollo Landing Sites Spotted in Sharp New Detail (Video)]
Another of the arboreal monuments, a loblolly pine, went to the White House in Washington. At the time, President Gerald Ford described it as "a living symbol of our spectacular human and scientific achievements."
"May this young tree renew our deep-rooted faith in the ideals of our Founding Fathers," stated Ford, as relayed by telegram to the sites holding Moon Tree ceremonies. "May it inspire us to strive for the kind of growth that benefits our own citizens and all mankind."
Unfortunately, detailed records were not kept as to where the Moon Trees were planted. In 1996, 25 years after the Apollo 14 mission, David Williams, a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, began a website to track where the Moon Trees had gone.
"They look like ordinary trees — but they're special because they've been to the moon," said Williams in a 2002 NASA article. "I found one Moon Tree right here at Goddard near my office. I had no idea it was there."
Twenty years after beginning the search, Williams has now recorded the locations of more than 75 Moon Trees in 25 states. Trees were also planted in Brazil, Switzerland and presented to the Emperor of Japan.
Though clones and second-generation trees continue to be planted, finding the originals has taken on a new sense of urgency in recent years.
Some of the trees are long-lived species, but others have fallen victim to the effects of old age, severe weather and disease, according to NASA. Some two dozen of the trees have died, including the loblolly pine planted at the White House and a pine in New Orleans that was damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and later removed.
"I think when people are aware of the heritage of the trees, they usually take steps to preserve them," Williams said. "That's why we want to locate as many as we can soon. We want to have a record that these trees are — or were — a part of these communities, before they're gone."

Roosa died in 1994, but his children continue to make sure the legacy of his Moon Trees lives on.
"The trees are the only living thing to commemorate man's most impressive achievement," said Roosa's son, Jack, in 2015.
This is the moment a mysterious UFO is spotted 'hovering' in the skies above Greater Manchester.
Video footage shows what appears to be a black object in the air with dark grey trails streaming out behind it above Ashton-under-Lyne.
As the recording plays through, the UFO continues to fly through the air, but doesn't appear to move in any direction.
Aliens? This is the moment a mysterious UFO is spotted 'hovering' . Video footage shows what appears to be a black object in the air with dark grey trails streaming behind it above Ashton-under-Lyne
Sophie Birch says she and her partner were so shocked by what they saw while driving in Ashton-under-Lyne, they had to pull the car over.
Sophie, a 23-year-old PA from Ashton, said: 'We were driving along and suddenly we spotted it. We just couldn't believe it - at first I thought it was a plane or something but it just wasn't moving, it was hovering.
My boyfriend was driving and he slammed on his brakes, then we pulled over so we could both see it better.'
On the video the couple have a conversation trying to work out what it is they are seeing, but Sophie says it remains unexplained.
She said: 'It was so unusual, we kept watching it for quite a while and there's no simple explanation as to what it is, I think it could be aliens - my sister said it was.

'You can see on the video it's like a black ship, with something coming out of the back.
'At one point we saw a flock of birds flying suddenly away from it like they were scared.'
The first well-known UFO sighting occurred in 1947, when businessman Kenneth Arnold claimed to see a group of nine high-speed objects near Mount Rainier in Washington while flying his small plane.
Arnold estimated the speed of the crescent-shaped objects as several thousand miles per hour and said they moved 'like saucers skipping on water.'
This is how the term flying saucer was coined as, in the newspaper report that followed, it was mistakenly stated that the objects were saucer-shaped.

Giants With Double-Rowed Teeth, Flattened Heads and Six Fingers
Giants With Double-Rowed Teeth, Flattened Heads and Six Fingers
The Cherokee called them the Moon People. The Utes and Paiutes spoke of a hideous race of cannibals ten feet tall living in caves. And the Choctaw also have an account of the race of giants that first colonized the Ohio Valley.
From Old World Roots of the Cherokee, chapter 5, "America's Middle Ages," pp. 78-79, we read:
What kind of Indians lived in the territory the Choctaw and Chickasaw carved out for their new home? According to their traditions, reports Cushman, as confirmed by excavations of bones in Tennessee, it was a “race of white giants”:
[T]he tradition of the Choctaws... told of a race of giants that once inhabited the now State of Tennessee, and with whom their ancestors fought when they arrived in Mississippi in their migration from the west, doubtless Old Mexico.
Their tradition states the Nahullo (race of giants [literally, wizards]) was of wonderful stature; but, as their tradition of the mastodon [which used to be found on the Great Plains], so this was also considered to be but a foolish fable, the creature of a wild imagination, when lo! Their exhumed bones again prove the truth of the Choctaws’ tradition (151).
These giants could have been Rafinesque’s Atlans.
Cushman then recounts the discovery in 1880 at a burial mound site near Plano, Texas, of human bones “of enormous size... the femoral bones being five inches longer than the ordinary length, and the jaw bones... so large as to slip over the face of a man with ease.”
Cushman goes on to identify them with the older occupants of North America called Allegewi or Taligewi (Talegans). Many historians, moreover, speculate they were the builders of the Adena mounds.
As for the Chickasaw, Cushman notes that they have no record of their history before the colonial period, although it is assuredly "the same as the Choctaws, being one tribe and people until the division made by their two chiefs Chikasah and Chahtah many years after their arrival and location east of the Mississippi River" (p 358).
Of the Natchez, Cushman records that they, "if tradition may be believed, also came from Mexico where they had lived for centuries" (p 440).
A story was told by the Comanches in 1857:
Innumerable moons ago, a race of white men, ten feet high, and far more rich and powerful than any white people now living, here inhabited a large range of country, extending from the rising to the setting sun.
Their fortifications crowned the summits of the mountains, protecting their populous cities situated in the intervening valleys.
They excelled every other nation which was flourished, either before or since, in all manner of cunning handicraft — were brave and warlike — ruling over the land they had wrested from its ancient possessors with a high and haughty hand. Compared with them the palefaces of the present day were pygmies, in both art and arms.
They drove the Indians from their homes, putting them to the sword, and occupying the valleys in which their fathers had dwelt before them since the world began.
At length, in the height of their power and glory, when they remembered justice and mercy no more and became proud and lifted up, the Great Spirit descended from above, sweeping them with fire and deluge from the face of the earth.
The mounds we [i.e. the speaker Chief Rolling Thunder and his Spanish listener] had seen on the tablelands were the remnants of their fortresses, and the crumbling ruins that surrounded us all that remained of a mighty city.[i]
The word Nahoolo or Nahullo “is now emphatically applied to the white race and no other... The Nahullo were of white complexion, according to Choctaw tradition, and were still an existing people at the time of the advent of the Choctaws to Mississippi,” concludes Cushman (p 153).
In agreement, the Indian trader Adair often refers to the Nani Ishtahoolo as departed white ghosts vested with spiritual powers whose descendants were priests and magicians.
Their cries and magic spells could still be heard in the mounds like those at Ocmulgee.[ii] These references contribute to the suspicion that the “Indians” who preceded Asiatic tribes from Mexico were, as we would say today, Caucasian.
About exactly a year ago on this blog, we published a post about "Neanderthals in America," mentioning also the peculiar archaic skeleton that is now a roadside attraction in Arizona, called The Thing. In the meantime, we acquired a copy of Fritz Zimmerman's book, The Nephilim Chronicles, which reproduces over 300 historical accounts of Giant skeletons.
Many are associated with the earliest mound sites in America, but Zimmerman's survey of this worldwide phenomenon ranges from the Hunter-Fisher People of northeast Europe and Red Paint People whose movements were circumpolar to the giants of the Bible, noted by the Babylonian Talmud as having double rows of teeth, and "Giants' Remains in the British Isles" (pp. 157-65).
Navajo legends speak of the Starnake People, a regal race of white giants endowed with mining technology who dominated the West, enslaved lesser tribes and had strongholds all through the Americas. They were either extinguished or "went back to the heavens."
The name may be a corruption of the Biblical race known as Anakim (Num. 13:33, Deut. 1:28). The name Og (Hebrew "chief") appears to be characteristic (see Zimmerman, pp. 188-91). The ogham alphabet is attributed to this cultural founder.
Certainly, many of the mound sites uncovered in the nineteenth century tell a story of constant warfare by incoming Asiatic tribes against the giants occupying the land. One grisly scene showed thousands of skeletons, male, female and young heaped in a mass grave, with warriors' skulls pierced by arrows.
It would appear that as these aboriginal inhabitants of the Ohio Valley were gradually displaced, some members of their society went over into the ranks of the new conquerors, bequeathing a strain of great stature still noticeable, for instance, in the Mobilian chief Tuscaloosa and DeSoto's Indian queen Cofitachiqui, both of whom were said to be seven feet tall.
We are struck by the following traits of this giant race or ethnic group from human prehistory:
-Mother Goddess religion
-Copper (not bronze) axes
-Polished slate tools including fishing plummets, which were apparently regarded as sacred
-Belief that the Grandmother Moon was the repository of souls
-Diet emphasizing shellfish (for which the double row of teeth probably was selected as an evolutionary advantage in their beachcomber origin out of Africa?)
-Building of fish weirs in North American rivers to trap migrating eels
-Certain vegetarian habits (wild rice, for instance)
-Inscriptions on artifacts, especially pipes, often buried with the dead
-Use of coal and petroleum
-Weaving and looms
-Knowledge of seafaring, mathematics and engineering, including canals and irrigation
-Burying of a dog with a child to guard the latter in the afterlife
-A language apparently Afro-Asiatic and close to Semitic tongues
-Kingcraft: nobles were buried in seated positions on thrones surrounded by a coterie of their retainers
When Denisovan Man was first discovered, we had just a fingerbone to go on. We can only extrapolate the look of the skull. Geneticists conjecture, however, that it was an Austronesian type.
We suggest that a modern prize of science will belong to the geneticist who can derive ancient DNA to study and classify from the bones of giant hominids that are unavoidably plentiful in the archeological and mythological records of humankind.
Maybe the owner of The Thing will allow researchers to borrow one of the femurs for laboratory analysis and measurement.
If that's not possible, the Smithsonian, Carnegie Institute and dozens of local historical societies throughout the Midwest have basements and storage facilities brimming with these relics of American history.

How acidic is the ocean on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus? It's a fundamental question to understanding if this geyser-spouting moon could support life.
Enceladus is part of a family of icy worlds, including Europa (at Jupiter) and Titan (also at Saturn), populating our outer solar system. These bodies are some of the most promising places for life because they receive tidal energy from the gas giants they orbit and some contain liquid water.
The Cassini spacecraft has been taking regular measurements of Enceladus for more than a decade to evaluate its environment. One of the key factors influencing the habitability of an environment is its chemical composition, in particular its pH. On Earth, it's possible for life to exist near the extremes of the pH scale that ranges from 0 (battery acid) to 14 (drain cleaner). Knowing the pH can help us to identify geochemical reactions that affect the habitability of an environment, because many reactions cause predictable changes in pH.
Oceanography of another world
While we cannot stick a strip of pH paper into the ocean water on Enceladus to measure the pH directly, it can be estimated by looking at molecules in its plumes that change form in response to pH changes.
Serpentinization, which is believed to occur on Enceladus, may also happen on other moons such as Europa (pictured). Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SETI Institute
Recently, geochemist Christopher Glein led a team that developed a new approach to estimating the pH of Enceladus' ocean using observational data of the carbonate geochemistry of plume material. This is a classic problem in geochemical studies of Earth (such as rainwater), but scientists can now solve the carbonate problem on an extraterrestrial body thanks to measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon by the Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA), and carbon dioxide gas by the Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) onboard Cassini.
Glein's team tried to create the most comprehensive chemical model to date of the ocean by accounting for compositional constraints from both INMS and CDA, such as the salinity of the plume. Their model suggests that Enceladus has a sodium, chloride and carbonate ocean with an alkaline pH of 11 or 12, close to the equivalent of ammonia or soapy water. The estimated pH is slightly higher by 1 to 2 units than an earlier estimate based on CDA data alone, but the different modeling approaches are consistent in terms of the overall chemistry of an alkaline ocean.
"It's encouraging that there is general agreement, considering that these approaches are based on spacecraft data from a plume. This is much more difficult than getting the pH of a swimming pool, so it would not be surprising if the models are missing some of the details. Of course, we are trying to reconcile the data as much as possible because the details may provide clues to understanding the eruptive processes that turn an ocean's chemistry into a plume," said Glein.
A paper based on Glein's research, "The pH of Enceladus' ocean," was published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta in August. Glein is a research scientist at Southwest Research Institute, but completed the research while at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The work was funded by the NASA Astrobiology Institute element of the Astrobiology Program at NASA.
Hydrothermal activity for life

It is believed that Enceladus' alkaline chemistry comes from a geochemical process called serpentinization. This happens when a rock that is rich in magnesium and iron is converted to clay-type minerals. On Earth, we see this process in very limited locations, such as the low-temperature hydrothermal vent field named Lost City in the Atlantic Ocean.
"It's exactly what we would expect if there is a liquid water ocean in contact with rocks on and below the ocean floor on Enceladus," Glein said.
In addition to a high pH, this process produces hydrogen gas, a potent fuel that can drive the formation of organic molecules that in some cases can be building blocks of life.
An unresolved question, however, is whether serpentinization is taking place now. If the activity is ongoing, this would provide habitable conditions, which could support an ecosystem similar to Lost City. If it occurred long ago, the high pH may be a relict and life may be less likely, although still not impossible if there are other sources of chemical energy.
Cassini did a final flyby of Enceladus in late October that targeted the chemistry of the plumes directly. The INMS team, which includes Glein, is searching for molecular hydrogen in that plume, which would be chemical evidence of active serpentinization. An absence of molecular hydrogen would be a sign that the serpentinization is extinct.
The data analysis from this flyby may be completed in time for the American Geophysical Union's fall meeting in December. Glein added that the planned NASA mission to Europa includes advanced descendants of both the CDA and INMS instruments, meaning that in a decade or two, scientists can start to make these same measurements at Europa. This will allow us to better understand the importance of serpentinization across the Solar System.
"On other icy worlds, if they have liquid water oceans, [serpentinization] should be inevitable because these bodies are massive mixtures of water and rock," he said. "Maybe the methane we see in Titan's atmosphere formed when hydrogen from serpentinization combined with deep carbon in a hydrothermal environment. There may also be liquid water on [dwarf planet] Pluto, through cryovolcanoes and a youthful surface. We expect there to be some degree of water-rock interaction on suchocean worlds, setting the stage for serpentinization and the generation of hydrogen that could be utilized if there is anyone out there."
You can now send a 'message in a bottle' that'll reach the North Star in 434 years
by FIONA MACDONALD
If you've ever wanted to reach out to potential life outside of our Solar System, this is your chance. A new project will beam people's text-based messages into space at light speed later this year, with the communications predicted to reachPolaris - or the North Star - in 434 years.
The messages will be transmitted as radio signals, and the researchers hope they'll form something of a 'time capsule' that will reveal insights into how we feel about the environment at this crucial point in our history. "This project will create a culturally inspired message in a bottle capturing global perspectives that will travel into space for aeons," explains one of the project coordinators, Paul Quast, from the University of Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland.
The 3-minute binary transmission was put together by Frank Drake, creator of the famous Drake equation, and astronomer Carl Sagan, and contained a whole lot of encoded information about our DNA, a graphic image of a human, a map of the Solar System, and other information that aliens might find handy if they wanted to know more about us.
Since then, a range of other projects have beamed radio-wave transmissions towards distant planets and stars, mostly with the aim of providing any intercepting extraterrestrial intelligence with crucial insights into humanity. Or, if nothing else, asking them to hit us back with a message of their own.
This new project, titled A Simple Response, is a little different, because its aim isn't to speak to life outside our planet (although there's always the possibility of the transmission being intercepted). Instead, the researchers involved hope the messages will help them understand more about how people around the world think about climate change, regardless of geography or background.
To that end, the project is asking people to answer a simple question: "How will our present environmental interactions shape the future?" The results will be compiled and beamed into interstellar space as radio waves in August this year. That next step is something they're now working on with physicists and astronomers at the University of Edinburgh.
Thanks to the fact that radio waves travel at the speed of light, within 21 hours of transmission, the signal will have travelled deeper into space than one of our most famous message-carriers - Voyager 1, which was launched in 1977 and is now venturing through interstellar space.
Polaris was chosen as the target for the new message because of its significance as a reference point for navigators and stargazers throughout the ages, the project website explains.
It also allows us the emotional benefits of being able to track our tiny human time capsule as it makes it way out into the depths of space. And if that doesn't help to remind people that we're all just one species, living on lonely rock with the common goal of survival, I don't know what will.
CubeSats offer the chance for unprecedented access to space at a low cost. Low enough, indeed, that a group of UFO researchers were able to crowdsource the funds on IndieGoGo to launch their own UFO-hunting satellite into low-Earth orbit.
It all started on IndieGoGo with the CubeSat 4 Disclosure project, led by Vancouver-based UFO researcher David Cote. While the project fell short of its $50,000 goal, they were able to get $16,641, enough to nearly buy them the $19,000 CubeSat kit. They've turned to Kickstarter, where they hope to raise an additional $10,000 to cover the cost of the science instruments.
Once they raise those funds, the group of six behind the CubeSat 4 Disclosure project will be able to launch their small sat into space from the Mojave Desert-based Interorbital Systems, which also provided the CubeSat system. The cost of the kit includes the cost of the launch. It will spend three months in low-Earth orbit, armed with a radiation detector and a camera. If an anomalous amount of energy is picked up, it'll sprout into action and take pictures of whatever is going on.
While the group hopes to find the smoking gun of UFO research (a close-up picture of an alien craft), it also may be able to help more mainstream scientists by detecting solar flares and other upper atmosphere phenomena in its short time. After three months, the craft will likely have been deorbited by gravity and solar radiation. The group promises to make their findings open source ... whatever findings they may have.
"Maybe we'll get data readings and pictures of solar-flare caused auroras. Maybe we'll capture images of some very interesting meteors," Cote said on the IndieGoGo page. "And maybe we'll actually capture a verifiable craft."
While plenty of UFO researchers keep an eye on the International Space Station's live feeds and there's always a headline in British tabloids about something Curiosity saw in the distance on Mars, this may be the first dedicated UFO hunting satellite. And with launch kits as low as $20,000, it probably won't be the last.

Earth scores an unimpressive 82% chance of sustaining life in 'habitability' calculation
Earth scores an unimpressive 82% chance of sustaining life in 'habitability' calculation
Aliens watching might think we're too close to the Sun.
With so much human hope and endeavour focused on the task of identifying extraterrestrial life on worlds outside our Solar System, it can be pretty disheartening when scientists point out how slim the prospects could really be.
Which is why a recent finding that Earth itself would only rate an 82 percent chance of being habitable – per a new calculation designed to rate exoplanet habitability – could actually be considered rather positive news. Wait… what?
Yes, strange as it sounds, researchers say that their 'habitability index', developed to help scientists prioritise the search for alien life on exoplanets, doesn't actually award Earth a 100 percent score in terms of the likelihood of being able to sustain life.
Which is more than a little ironic, when you think about it, given it's the only planet we 100 percent know for sure does sustain life. So why the less-than-perfect rating?
"Basically, where we lose some of the probability, or chance for life, is that we could be too close to the [Sun]," said astronomer Rory Barnes from the University of Washington. "We actually are kind of close to the inner edge of the habitable zone. If we spotted Earth with our current techniques, we would reasonably conclude that it could be too hot for life."
Barnes and his fellow researchers developed their index last year, which ranks exoplanets based on habitability-influencing factors such as whether their atmospheric pressure would be sufficient for liquid water to exist on the surface, how rocky they are, and how much energy they absorb or reflect from their host star.
When these details are considered, the researchers say Earth would look good but not great to alien astronomers observing our home from afar. Chiefly, this is because our proximity to the Sun might lead them to conclude that we're simply too close to the superheated inner edge of our star's habitable zone.
"Remember, we have to think about Earth as if we don't know anything about it,"said Barnes. "We don't know that it's got oceans, and whales and things like that – imagine it's just this thing that dims some of the light around a nearby star when it passes."
According to the researchers, this could mean astronomers on other planets – if they were to arrive at the same conclusions – might focus their efforts on other planets offering better habitability scores than Earth and overlook us entirely, having taken our home as being a little on the crispy side.
"The point of the paper is that the [higher-ranking planet] is the best to spend our time on. Because it's less in danger," said Barnes. "But, it's obviously based on this very limited information."

UFOs shut down the missle systems while he was on duty.. talk about interesting..
The flyby of asteroid 2013 TX68 is the closest ever predicted Earth approach for an object this large. The 150 feet (45 meters) rock could pass 11,000 miles (17,000km) from Earth on March 5th which is 21 times closer to our planet than the moon, although NASA admits it might also pass nine million miles away as the asteroid’s orbit is highly uncertain (condition code 7) and the distance of its pass is not precisely known at this time experts say.
However, if the asteroid passes at its closest possible distance of just 11,000 miles (17,000 km), the flyby will be an exceedingly close one and If that were the case, the asteroid would come even closer than orbiting communications satellites.
Asteroid 2013 TX68 has an estimated mass of about 130,000 metric tons. The space rock is traveling at about 32,211 miles per hour (51,839 kilometers per hour), relative to Earth.
According to NASA, if an asteroid of a size similar to that of 2013 TX68 were to impact Earth, it would release approximately 2.5 megatons of energy in the atmosphere and would be expected to cause regional devastation.
A comparison to the impact potential of an asteroid the size of 2013 TX68 could be made to the impact of a near-Earth object that occurred in 1908 in Tuguska, Siberia.
Known in the asteroid community as the “Tunguska Event,” this impact of an asteroid just slightly smaller than 2013 TX68 (approximately 100 – 130 feet/30-40 meters across) is believed to have flattened about 825 square miles (2200 square kilometers) of forest in and around the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.
The asteroid was discovered by the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey on Oct. 6, 2013, as it approached Earth on the nighttime side. After three days of tracking, the asteroid passed into the daytime sky and could no longer be observed. Because it was not tracked for very long,
Although scientists cannot predict its precise orbit around the sun, they say that it cannot impact Earth during its flyby next month.
Furthermore, it seems cosmic rays are rising rapidly and the Earth is tilting North, which is a physical Pole Shift combined with a magnetic polar shift. In the second video BPEarthWatch explains these developments as well as an analysis of Asteroid 2013 TX68 based on the information given by ESA instead of NASA.
Australische moeder filmt ‘geest’ bij haar slapende baby
Australische moeder filmt ‘geest’ bij haar slapende baby
Op Facebook gaat een filmpje van een slapende baby viraal omdat er een geest naast het bed lijkt te zitten. De video is inmiddels al meer dan twee miljoen keer bekeken en ruim 23.000 keer gedeeld.
Moeder Jade Yates uit het Australische Victoria geloofde tot voor kort nooit in geesten, maar daar is door dit filmpje verandering in gekomen. In de video lijken één of meerdere geesten bij de slapende Ruby aanwezig te zijn.
De moeder meent dat er een baby en een volwassene bij Ruby te zien zijn. Volgens haar hebben de geesten geen kwade bedoelingen. “Ik denk niet dat ze slecht zijn, de volwassene is erg oplettend,” zegt ze.
Over de geest wordt inmiddels druk gespeculeerd. Sommigen denken dat de geest een overleden baby is. Yates laat weten dat er bij haar in de buurt pas geleden een oude man is overleden. Ze zegt verder dat er niets voor het raam hangt, dat de deur van Ruby’s kamer dicht is en dat het verder helemaal donker in de kamer is.
Topoverleg in Witte Huis, Washington, USA vanwege dreiging aardbevingen.
Topoverleg in Witte Huis, Washington, USA vanwege dreiging aardbevingen.
Met de komst van het mini-zonnestelsel Nibiru worden er in het geheim talloze voorbereidingen getroffen.
Daarnaast gebeuren er ook dingen open en bloot zoals nu opeens een overleg in het Witte Huis en het in alle haast opzetten van waarschuwingssystemen voor aardbevingen.
Na een jarenlange stilte is er nu weer volop belangstelling voor onbekende planeten in ons zonnestelsel, maar men gaat niet zover door de wereldbevolking het volledige verhaal te vertellen.
Die hernieuwde formele belangstelling is nodig om enerzijds de massa langzaam te laten wennen aan het idee dat er misschien toch wel iets meer is in onze zonnestelsel dan ze altijd hebben gedacht mede omdat steeds meer mensen ook met het blote oog dingen waarnemen en anderzijds om de steeds verdergaande voorbereidingen van de elite enigszins te maskeren.
In plaats van een soort Nibiru of Planet X disclosure kiest men ervoor om kleine beetjes waarheid naar buiten te laten lekken zoals de bekendmaking van “het ontdekken” van een tot nu toe onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel.
De gevolgen van de nadering van dit mini-zonnestelsel beginnen natuurlijk steeds duidelijker te worden. Niet alleen worden er fysiek planeten waargenomen rondom de zon, ook de invloeden van deze enorme planeet op onze aarde begint steeds merkbaarder te worden.
Eén van die dingen is dat er steeds meer asteroïden onze kant op komen en waarvoor nu in alle haast door NASA een nieuwe speciale afdeling in het leven is geroepen zoals we eerder deze week schreven.
Net zoals vele mensen zich afvragen of NASA misschien iets weet dat zij niet weten, geldt dat een beetje hetzelfde voor een aankondiging die enkele dagen geleden door het Witte Huis werd gedaan.
Onder het mom dat The Big One (mega aardbeving) misschien toch vroeg of laat zal toeslaan, werd afgelopen dinsdag door het Witte Huis ineens een soort live topoverleg gevoerd met allerlei wetenschappers en dergelijke over wat men kan doen om beter voorbereid te zijn op aardbevingen.
Het doel was ondanks dat niemand precies kan voorspellen waar aardbevingen zullen plaatsvinden toch een systeem te ontwikkelen waarbij mensen wellicht tijdig gewaarschuwd kunnen worden voor een ophanden zijnde aardbeving.
Met dit overleg werd een nieuw programma gelanceerd dat Earthquake Resilience Summit heet en waar aan seismologen en wetenschappers wordt gevraagd om mee te denken aan een zogenaamd “early warning system”.
Op zich zou dit misschien allemaal niet zo’n opvallend bericht, behalve wanneer je weer kijkt naar de timing.
Waarom wordt er nu ineens topoverleg gevoerd op het Witte Huis in verband met dreigingen van aardbevingen? Waarom wordt nu ineens een nieuwe afdeling van NASA in het leven geroepen om onbekende objecten in de ruimte op te sporen?
Dit alles wordt gedaan zodat de elite voldoende gelegenheid krijgt om zich te barricaderen in de grote ondergrondse schuilplaatsen die wereldwijd zijn gemaakt.
Wat dit alles ook laat zien, is dat het nu echt dichterbij komt, maar ook dat het niet volgende maand ineens op de stoep staat. Gezien de manier waarop de elite het nu speelt en de voorbereidingen die nu in gang worden gezet, lijkt het meer iets van ergens tussen de vijf en tien jaar van nu.
De wereld wordt voorbereid op allerlei oefeningen en observaties in de ruimte. Als schuldige voor de steeds verder toenemende aardbevingen en vulkaanuitbarstingen zal ongetwijfeld de opwarming van de aarde aangewezen worden.
En misschien is het toeval, maar enige weken geleden verscheen het bericht dat de Amerikaanse warenhuisgigant Wal-Mart honderden winkels in Amerika gaat sluiten, maar dat er ook weer talloze nieuwe winkels geopend zullen worden.
Op het volgende plaatje is te zien waar die winkelsluitingen in Amerika zullen plaatsvinden. Dan zie je dat ze behoorlijk geconcentreerd zijn op bepaalde locaties zoals midden Amerika en delen van de oostkust.
Bij de Zeta’s van Nancy Lieder wordt al langere tijd gesproken over de komende aardbevingen bij de zogenaamde New Madrid breuklijn in het midden van Amerika.
Niet alleen zullen zich daar zware aardbevingen voor doen, ook zal na de passage van Nibiru de kustlijn en het midden van Amerika behoorlijk zijn veranderd.
Op de volgende afbeelding is te zien waar dan volgens de Zeta’s straks de nieuwe kustlijn zal liggen.
Dan zie je dat dit precies de plaatsen zijn waar Wal-Mart nu ineens talloze winkels sluit om elders in Amerika nieuwe winkels neer te zetten. Met andere woorden, zij weten wat er gaat komen en anticiperen daar nu op door winkels in grote risicogebieden te sluiten.
Zoals we eerder schreven is eigenlijk de enige manier om erachter te komen hoelang het nog gaat duren voordat er echt heftige dingen gaan gebeuren dankzij de nadering van het mini-zonnestelsel Nibiru om goed je ogen open te houden en het signaleren van afwijkende dingen.
Misschien heeft Wal-Mart hele andere redenen om al die winkels daar te sluiten en nieuwe te openen op andere locaties. Misschien heeft het Witte Huis de beste bedoelingen om een topoverleg te beleggen voor komende aardbevingen en misschien is NASA nu echt wakker geschrokken en gaan ze beter uitkijken naar asteroïden die onze kant op komen.
Gezien de historie echter waar zo goed als alles verborgen wordt gehouden voor de mensheid en een wereld waar “toeval” alleen in Israël bestaat, kan het absoluut geen kwaad om iets verder te denken en niet alles maar op face value aan te nemen als waar.
Het schijnt dat de Tweede Kamer gisteren nogal verbijsterd was over het feit dat Nederland heeft verzuimd om essentiële radarbeelden op te vragen bij Oekraïne.
Het Openbaar Ministerie zegt echter vol vertrouwen die radarbeelden níet nodig te hebben om de schuldigen aan te kunnen wijzen.
De oppositie is verbijsterd over hoe het kabinet omgaat met de opsporing van MH17-daders. Kamerleden snappen niet waarom er niet nu al al het mogelijke gedaan wordt om bewijs te verzamelen.
De uitleg van minister Van der Steur (Veiligheid en Justitie), minister Koenders (Buitenlandse Zaken) en staatssecretaris Dijksma (Infrastructuur) kan daar vanavond tijdens een debat over de MH17-ramp, niets aan veranderen. Ook de coalitie is kritisch over de opstelling van de bewindslieden.
De volgende zin in het verslag van de Telegraaf zegt eigenlijk alles:
Het kabinet blijft beweren dat het OM zelf vindt dat het geen extra radargegevens nodig heeft om de daders te vervolgen.
Dat kan dan heel leuk worden straks als het OM komt met de daders. Ze hebben de radarbeelden klaarblijkelijk niet nodig om vast te kunnen stellen wie dat vliegtuig uit de lucht heeft geschoten.
We kunnen niet wachten op de eindrapport van het OM want daarin zal ook ongetwijfeld worden verteld welk militair toestel zich ophield nabij het ten dode opgeschreven Malaysia Airlines toestel.
Dat vliegtuig dat door talloze getuigen op de grond is gezien en te bekijken en beluisteren waren in een heel snel geschrapt BBC programma.
Het vliegtuig dat ook verscheen tijdens de Russische persconferentie direct na de ramp. Een militaire jet die klom op een onderscheppingskoers naar vlucht MH17 en zich slechts op een paar kilometer afstand bevond.
Ongeacht welk eindrapport het OM later zal presenteren, ze moeten daarin hoe dan ook met een verklaring komen over dat onbekende toestel.
Oekraïne beweert die dag geen militaire toestellen in de lucht te hebben gehad. Van welk land was die jet dan wel als het niet van Oekraïne was?
Het Russisch Onderzoekscomité dat onderzoek doet naar de ramp met MH17 heeft het verhaal van de Oekraïense getuige bevestigd die vertelde dat hij een SU-25 vliegtuig zag vertrekken op 17 juli, uitgerust met twee air-to-air raketten en dat deze zonder deze wapens terugkeerde op de basis.
Uitzonderlijk intelligent van het OM dat ze kunnen bepalen of en welke jet er daar ter plaatse was zonder dat ze daarvoor radarbeelden nodig hebben. Er zijn maar weinig landen op de wereld die zo’n knap OM hebben als wij.
Daarnaast zullen ze ongetwijfeld die getuigen ook zelf hebben gehoord (niet dus) want dat is natuurlijk standaard onderdeel van een uitgebreid onderzoek.
Alles komt goed want onze grote leider heeft beloofd dat de onderste steen boven komt en dan zal het gelukkig niet lang meer duren voordat we na al die tijd weten welk vliegtuig zich die dag in de buurt van MH17 op hield.
Anonymous Leaks NASA Files Proving Something Astonishing
Anonymous Leaks NASA Files Proving Something Astonishing
Anonymous have leaked information that they claim originate from NASA servers, showing evidence of an extensive drone weather modification program that prove that Chemtrails exist.
Anonsec released a paper that contained a detailed account of their hack, as well as analysis of the NASA data they recovered. The data reveals information about NASA’s connection to weather modification research in a log of a DC-8 jetliner, which was conducting a flight in accordance with their “Alternative-Fuel Effects on Contrails and Cruise EmiSSions” project.
Trunews.com reports: Anonsec Admin Dêfãult Vírüsa leaked the information early last week to Mikael Thalen of I-n-f-o-w-a-r-s, before making a public release Sunday. Also released Sunday was a 276 Gigabyte (GB) data package of 631 aircraft and radar videos, 2,143 flight logs and the personal data of 2,414 NASA employees.
In Anonsec’s zine, they claim that they were discovered and lost access to the NASA servers after altering the flight path of a $222.7 million US Drone flying across the Pacific. In the hijacking, the group planned to crash the GlowbalHawk drone into the ocean.
NASA officials have not yet commented on the information leak, nor confirmed its validity, but the released NASA employee information has been verified as real and a drone flight log has been discovered which coincides with Anonsec’s story.
In an official statement released by headquarters spokesman Allard Beutel, NASA is denying the claims made by the hacking group AnonSec ( via anonews.co ). Beutel also inferred that the information leaked was already public by saying:
NASA strives to make our scientific data publicly available, including large data sets, which seems to be how the information in question was retrieved.
The statement ended with an attempt to calm nerves by reiterating their bottom line that:
NASA takes cybersecurity very seriously and will continue to fully investigate all of these allegations.

UFO is Detonated Over San Diego — Chembomb or Secret Military Project?
UFO is Detonated Over San Diego — Chembomb or Secret Military Project?
Many strange events occur all around us on a daily basis without us knowing about them, and it wouldn’t pose a problem unless the general population would be at risk.
Some of us have probably wondered why the conspiracy theorists, the former NASA astronauts, employees, or other people from all around the globe are struggling to divulge all these weird stuff about the reality we live in. I bet we all asked ourselves: Is this legit? Do you think this guy is crazy or in need of funding? Does he have any proof?
These burdening questions have probably made one consider and then reconsider the facts presented, so what key element could unlock a crazy theory and turn it into an actual belief? What could convince me that you are not talking nonsense? Well, it’s quite easy – EVIDENCE.
For a better understanding of this topic, the following video will show how a UFO is detonated over a large populated area of San Diego, spraying it with unknown substances.
The bright orb was deliberately launched from a high altitude and over a densely populated area, full of houses and people. Even if we don’t exactly know its composition, an assumption can be made regarding its content, and because it was secretly launched from afar, the assumption tends to be more negative rather than positive. Could this be part of a mass human experiment?
Considering the aspects discussed in the first part of the article, a lot of stuff is going on while we sit comfortable in our homes, in our cities, with this being only a small part of it. Away from our concrete environment, the sky is much clearer and unaltered by all the chemtrails. Surrounded by darkness and with the right equipment or even with the naked eye, the most bizarre things can be observed over the night sky: from bright orbs hovering over random areas to orbs detonating far from sight. Some people even reported scary encounters with the bright orbs, as Alexander Opanasenko from Russia describes:
I found refuge at my cabin in the mountains after I got tired of all the city fuss. Out here, at about 2,000 meters altitude, I see the world like never before. Many strange UFOs appear during the night, sometimes even in daylight, they manifest in different ways that’s why I think not all of them are related to aliens, but a part of them have to be. Even if I stay here on my own, I have friends who visit me once in a while so they can also confirm about what happened one night when they dropped by.
While we were having a nice chat and a beer over a fire, a luminous orb approached us from the forest. It stood only 100-200 meters away from me and my buddies. We were petrified for the first few seconds, couldn’t move a muscle until Dimitrov whispered to us to run. We took separate ways as we scattered in fear. When I looked back, the bright object the size of a car was gone. That’s when we all understood that we are being watched, surveilled.
Even if this particular event offered no proof in terms of video footage or pictures, we took it into account as an authentic story because Alexander described this with such intensity and with so many relevant details that he led us into believing his story. Apart from this, he had three other friends to back up his claims, friends who paid no attention to the UFO phenomenon until then.
If relevant evidence is shared on the internet, it will be deleted sooner or later if it reaches a large number of people, so how can we rely on the proof if some entities do not allow it to be uncovered? We strongly believe that going outside, doing some research on our own will undoubtedly lead us to the truth.
There is no need for HD video evidence in order to see the obvious, only to open our eyes and to start searching for ourselves. Many strange things are going on literally above our heads, but there is some sort of distortion created using the chem-bombs presented in the video above that doesn’t allow people to have a clear view of what is actually happening up there.

UFO Moves Over Las Vegas Hills In Daytime, Jan 9, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Moves Over Las Vegas Hills In Daytime, Jan 9, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: January 9, 2016 Location of sighting: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Source: MUFON #74266 This UFO flew over Las Vegas this week and seems to have been ignored by most of the city. Its moving slowly and as a lower front section which could be a military blimp that got lose again, but it is riding the ridges of the mountains, staying a distance from the town on purpose. Hard call to make, but it does appear 100% authentic. We do however need more eyewitnesses to come forward on this one, to confirm or disprove it being an alien craft. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: While at a sales conference at the Red Rocks Resort I had just gotten ready for my walk to the conference center somewhere between 7:15-7:40am. Remembering I told my family I would take a photo from my hotel of the beautiful landscape and the Vegas city skyline. I opened my curtain on this sunny morning. I got my phone ready and began to scan the view for the best picture. After a quick glance I noticed a hot air balloon to the right it was a typical looking hot air balloon. I looked to the left side of my window and noticed a dark shape that seemed contrast in color and shape against the mountain chain. I looked a few moments longer and thought wow that large shape is actually moving. I starred for a few moments and came to the firm conclusion that the object was indeed moving slowly left to right from my viewpoint. After a few minutes of personal viewing I thought I might take a video cause no one will believe me. So I began to take video and a short time into it the video stopped and a message of lack of storage came up. I thought to myself- I should have bought the 32GB phone. Any way, I took a few moments to clear up some storage glancing up to make sure the craft was still there, and it was still moving almost hovering as it had been doing. I cleared the necessary memory and began to take a picture and video again. I wondered what it could be moving so slow it didn't look like any blimps I have seen at sporting events. It was moving too slow for conventional aircraft, it seemed large for a drone. At one point I quickly pan to the right to see the hot air balloon I had seen earlier to give some perspective. In addition, you can see cars driving underneath. while the first video is a bit shaky I made sure to lean on the window support to try to steady the video. After about four minutes I stopped recording because I had get my rear downstairs to work my booth at our convention. Honestly I do not know what it is which is why I have submitted it to you. I would be interested to hear what the locals or experts have to say about its identity. Summary, seemingly large craft dark in color, moving left to right somewhat steady buy very slow almost hovering. Traveling toward Las Vegas.
Russian Expert Confirms UFO Video Sighting As Authentic
Russian Expert Confirms UFO Video Sighting As Authentic
Experts declared a video footage showing a cluster of UFOs authentic. Taken in the sky of Moscow, the video shows four unidentified lights that seem to hover and swoop in apparently synchronised flying.
The video has gotten thousands of views, mostly from people in Russia that are intrigued by the great speed of the objects before they hover together.
The videographer, who only known as Timur, said in the local media that there was one ball to the left, two balls in the middle, and less bright one to the right. He revealed that the one on the right would disappear and come back at times. All four balls formed a geometric shape of a rhombus, Timur described.
Some viewers of the video suggest that the lights can be light reflections on the ground. However, Timur dismissed this theory and explained that he never seen anything like those objects since living in the district for two years.
Now, the sighting has gotten more interesting as Russian UFO expert Vadim Chernobrov believes the footage is genuine. He confirms that the lights can’t be explained as either a cosmic or an atmospheric image. He also dismisses the possibility of them to be some mirage because of the precise geometric form of the strange objects.
Some have speculated they could be Chinese lanterns, but Chernobrov also dismissed the possibility because of the speed and movements of the objects.
Planet-Building 'Flying Saucer' Disk Is Surprisingly Cool (Video)
Planet-Building 'Flying Saucer' Disk Is Surprisingly Cool (Video)
By Nola Taylor Redd, Space.com Contributor
Everyone knows that UFOs are cool, but the surprisingly low temperatures of one cosmic flying saucer may force astronomers to rethink their ideas about how planets form.
Scientists have made the first direct measurements of large dust grains in the planet-forming region of a disk dubbed the Flying Saucer, which surrounds a young star in the star-formation region Rho Ophiuchi, about 400 light-years from Earth. The researchers created a video to zoom in on the cosmic Flying Saucer to highlight their study.
"The disk is not observed against a black and empty night sky. Instead, it's seen in silhouette in front of the glow of the Rho Ophiuchi Nebula," study lead author Stéphane Guilloteau, of France's Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux, said in a statement. "The resulting negative signal means that parts of the disk are colder than the background." [Planet Being Assembled As Astronomers Watch (Video)]
uto study The Flying Saucer scientists theAtacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile (which is called 2MASS J16281370-2431391), and then compared these measurements to observations of the background glow obtained by the IRAM 100-foot (30 meters) telescope in Spain.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured this infrared view of the young star 2MASS J16281370-2431391, which is surrounded by a disk of gas and dust that has been nicknamed the Flying Saucer.

The team found that temperatures in the disk were as low as minus 447 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 266 degrees Celsius), only a few degrees above absolute zero. Models of planet formation suggest that the disk should be between minus 432 and minus 423 F (minus 258 to minus 253 C).
The surprisingly low temperatures suggest that scientists might need to take another look at how planets form within the disks surrounding newborn stars, researchers said.
"To work out the impact of this discovery on disk structure, we have to find out what plausible dust properties can result in such low temperatures," co-author Emmanuel di Folco, also of Laboratoire d’Astrophysique, said in the same statement.
The young star 2MASS J16281370-2431391 lies in the Rho Ophiuchi star formation region, about 400 light-years from Earth. It is surrounded by a protoplanetary disk of gas and dust that is seen nearly edge-on from Earth; the disk's appearance in visible-light images has led to its being nicknamed the Flying Saucer. The main image shows part of the Rho Ophiuchi region; an enlarged close-up infrared view of the Flying Saucer from the Hubble Space Telescope is shown as an insert.

"We have a few ideas — for example, the temperature may depend on grain size, with the bigger grains cooler than the smaller ones," di Folco added. "But it is too early to be sure."
If such low temperatures are commonly found within other proto planetary disks, there could be intriguing implications for how worlds form around stars. Different dust properties could affect how particles come together to build planets, and could even result in giant planets forming closer to their parent stars than current models allow, study team members said.
Planetary disks form at various angles with respect to the sun. However, the disk studied by the astronomers appears edge-on from Earth, resulting in its nickname, the Flying Saucer.
"The Earth is quite literally in the shadow of the Flying Saucer!" Guilloteau said.
Even the dumbest person knows that the world is controlled by certain individuals. Some say they are the richest families, some say secret organizations with members posing as a president’s right hand, some even say aliens in disguise.
The truth is, no matter who, the 99% is controlled by the 1% and there are things that the 1% would be happy if the 99% never find out of. But, be that as it may, the Murphy ’s Law still stands even for those individuals who steer the wheel and as the law says “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong”.
People with humanity still in their hearts leaked some information, people who see things as they really are revealed conspiracies, and some with a little logic still in the head discovered the truth hidden from the 99%. Here are some of the greatest secrets “They” don’t want you to know of:
6. They Control the Earth’s Environment
You have probably heard about the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). It is a project funded by The US Navy and The US Air Force and its cover is technology that can allow US military to communicate with its fleet of submarines through very long distances. How this works? There is an instrument in HAARP called “Ionospheric Research Instrument” which is a facility that transmits high-power radio frequency directly into a limited area of the Ionosphere.
This instrument manipulates the Ionosphere, the place where free electrons exist, and has a potential to create radio waves that will manipulate the earth’s magnetic field. You get yourself a control of the earth’s magnetic field and you control the earth.
Even more frightening is the fact that HAARP has a potential to control emotions through wave frequencies and manipulate human minds. Who knows, maybe they are responsible for our sudden mood swings. Project HAARP was shut down in May 2013, or was it?
5. Tap Water Makes You Poor
(Fluoride monitor (at left) in a community water tower pumphouse, Minnesota, 1987)
There is absolutely no need for fluoride in tap water, well for us, but for the ones who want to control the world and make sure no one rises above them, fluoride in tap water is essential element. Why? Let me explain a little bit.
Fluoridation was recommended by Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud. Mind manipulation is written all over their foreheads. Fluoride is a chemical that has an effect on the Pineal Gland of our brain, some call it “The Third Eye”. This gland is responsible for majority of our emotions, as well as our serotonin and melatonin level.
Fluoride damages this gland and promotes apathy, depression, and low vibrations. This results in lack of motivation, bad health and boredom. To survive in the world today we must earn money to buy the necessary things like food, water, shelter, medicine.
Instead of following our dream and escaping the system, we are depressed and unmotivated which forces us to work for someone just so we can survive. These 2 forces, The survival instinct and apathy, limit us to follow the system and never rise above it. We are scared for our survival but unmotivated to go our own way, so we let others lead our whiny ass to safety. Their safety. Just like sheep in the herd.
4. Chemtrails Spray Us With Fluoride
trail
When you look up in the sky and say look a con you may be wrong, it may be a chemtrail. Don’t worry, it’s nothing, it’s just some guys spraying you with Aluminum, Arsenic, Barium, Boron, and yes Fluoride. Why? Because you ask too much. Now shut up and keep doing what “They” tell you.
Fluoride is now also being added to almost every food product made with water. Fluoride is also in insecticides and other poison products, toothpaste, mouthwash, and many psychotropic medicines, and if we are good we may even get houses made of fluoride, yay!
3. GMO is Destroying All Humanity
Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs are plants or animals created through the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology. This experimental technology merges DNA from different species, creating unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding.
In other words GMO is taking God’s dice in our own hands. It is the greatest disbalance nature has ever seen. The Universe has one divine rule and that is that whatever happens it must always keep balance, every action has its own opposite reaction. We make disbalance to nature, but as we know The Universe will always find balance, so our action will result in conflict between us and nature.
The dumbest man knows that we come from Nature and the conflict will be between ourselves resulting in us becoming something else that is not Nature or our extinction, because let’s face it, we cannot go on the opposite side of the scale with such force and expect balance.
2. Sacred Geometry is The Language of The Universe and Beauty
What is Beauty? Victoria’s Secret Angels, I know, but what is the definition of beauty? The combination of elements like shape, color, size that pleases the sense of sight. But, we know that music has a beauty too, smell also, so if you ask me I would say that beauty is a harmony between elements and forces.
Sacred geometry is found where elements meet The Golden Ratio (1.618033989...) and it exists through all The Universe between gravity of planets, Nature, design of flowers, shape of animals, proportions of land, crop circles, it also exists in many manmade objects or famous arts like the works of Leonardo DaVinci, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Greek and Roman architecture... Almost everything we find harmonious, beautiful, and with that x-factor we cannot explain has The Golden Ratio shinning through it.
Why is this kept a secret? Well, it’s like a magic show. We find magic in things with The Golden Ratio but we don’t know why or how. The magician knows the trick and in order to manipulate the audience nobody else is allowed to know how it’s done.
Do you know that in 1955 the International Standardization Organization made 440 Hz a general tuning standard for musical pitch? Before that was 432 Hz.
As you may know sounds have the biggest impact in our thinking. 432 Hz makes the sound of music more harmonious, calm, promotes happiness and deep understanding, passion. 440 Hz is more energetic, faster, it is almost like racing.
It is more competitive and focusing on the details, the understanding of the things we can see. So why would someone and most importantly how, decides that 440 Hz is better than 432 Hz?
Because music touches us where nothing else can, where the essence of our Emotional Being is, and if you control what emotions/thoughts the music promotes, than your work of controlling the world is 99% done.
“They” don’t want people to understand Our True Nature and Our Higher Self. They want us to be in a hurry, to believe only what we see and be competitive about material things.
This way the 99% will live in the reality the 1% will create for them. This whole article is about that, the purpose of the 1% is to shape the reality of the 99% and through various of things “They” have accomplished that, and “They” are damn good in keeping the control.

Red Dwarfs: Meet the Last Stars That Will Burn in the Cosmos

IN BRIEF
When our Sun dies, we need to find a new home planet. And red dwarfs may hold the key (and the planets) to keep the human race living.
There will come a time that the universe will turn dark. A time after all the stars die out. We know that our beloved Sun will soon lose its energy. When this happens, humans must find another habitable planet to call home. Fortunately, there will be other stars….for a time anyways.
The hero of this tale are the red dwarfs. They are tiny stars that may be our best bet to find a habitable new home planet.
In our universe, 70% of all stars are red dwarfs. They are very dim stars and cannot be seen by the naked eye. Even with our high-level equipment, we can only see red dwarfs that are relatively close to our planet.
Ultimately, 20 to 30 of the stars near Earth are classified as red dwarfs. They would be he easiest for us to get to, obviously. And they are such good candidates for life after Earth because these stars fuse hydrogen into helium. However, they mix helium and hydrogen continuously, so they use up their fuel very slowly before extinguishing. Because they burn so very slowly, they have a life span average of 1 to 10 trillion years.
Our Sun can survive another 5 billion.

As an interesting aside, since the universe is estimated to be around 13.75 billion years old, all red dwarfs are therefore just “babies.” To date, there are no “old” red dwarfs in existence.
Ultimately, scientists assert that it is these red dwarfs that are our best chances of finding another habitable Earth-like planet. It is estimated that 5% of red dwarfs may host habitable planets like ours. This means we have around 50 billion potential planets to choose from.
These stars are known to be hosts to planets half (or up to four times) the mass of our planet. However, these planets need be close to the red dwarfs in order to be habitable, as they are somewhat cooler stars than our own. This posts several problems for the planets.
If a planet is too close to the star, only one side of it would face the sun; as a result, the other side of the planet would be somewhat less than habitable. Too close, and gravitational forces could also squeeze the planet, causing it to lose water and become too hot as well.
Red dwarfs also vary in energy input, so this means that some of them are way too dim. This affects the planet’s temperature and lowers it down to freezing levels. Some may also have sudden outbursts of flares.
Still, since these stars have such a long lifespan, they could be the only way to guarantee our future in the long term (the very long term, that is).
Our planet is estimated to be 4 billion years old. Our Sun will continue to provide us with energy for another 1 billion years. So we still have plenty of time to go planet-hunting.
But in reality, all stars will lose their energy and die out some day.
These micro-drones are expected to change the face of counter terrorism and warfare, as well as law enforcement and surveillance, in a big way.
CICADA
The Close-In Covert Autonomous Disposable Aircraft, or CICADA, is playfully described as a “paper airplane with a circuit board” in a recent AFP article. The micro-drone is intended to be deployed in, what the U.S. military has taken to calling, “swarms.”
The CICADA swarm is dropped from an airplane to glide down to the Earth’s surface, directed by an on-board GPS which can guide the drones to within 4.5 meters (approx. 15 ft) of its target destination from a 17 km (approx. 11 mile) descent.
The CICADA is designed to operate as miniature, remote listening posts that, when scattered across a large area, can be used to monitor enemy activity. The Naval Research Laboratory’s Aaron Kahn spoke to the AFP, saying that the military can “equip these with a microphone or a seismic detector, drop them on that road, and it will tell you ‘I heard a truck or a car travel along that road.’ You know how fast and which direction they’re traveling.”
At a Department of Defense Lab Day event in Washington, D.C. back in May, aerospace engineer Daniel Edwardsstates that the tiny drones were amazingly durable, and could keep going in spite of most encounters.
He told The Washington Post, “they’ve flown through trees. They’ve hit asphalt runways. They have tumbled in gravel. They’ve had sand in them. They only thing that we found that killed them was desert shrubbery.”
Aside from surveillance, another notable application of the CICADA involves the delivery of “payloads at precise waypoints,” according to an official description by the Naval Research Lab.
This indicates the CICADA can possibly be used to deliver explosives.
BLACK HORNET
The Black Hornet
However, these aren’t the first little drones to be employed in combat situations. Another surveillance micro-drone has already been used by the British military. This was in Afghanistan back in 2012.
Dubbed as the first “commercially available personal Reconnaissance System,” the Black Hornet is a small helicopter that weighs less than 250 grams (0.5 pound) that can either be remotely controlled or programmed for automated flight.
It is also has an on-board lightweight camera and capable of transmitting live video. Although this may raise concerns about spying and surveillance, the rise of robotic eyes and ears in the military could ultimately help save lives.
The tiny drones are coming: Here a stand host holds a QH micro quadcopter drone by Chinese manufacturer Lian Sheng at the 2015 CeBIT technology trade fair on March 16, 2015 in Hanover, Germany.
