Ik wens hen veel succes met de verdere uitbouw van hun groep. Zij kunnen de naam BUFON wel geregistreerd hebben, maar het rijke verleden van BUFON kunnen ze niet wegnemen...
Het klonk al te bizar om waar te zijn: een buschauffeur in India zou afgelopen weekend zijn omgekomen nadat hij geraakt werd door een meteoriet. Ruimteorganisatie NASA verklaart nu dat het niet waar is. De man is waarschijnlijk gestorven door een explosief.
Het was maandag bijzonder nieuws: een buschauffeur in het zuidoosten van India nam even pauze en ging zijn gezicht wassen bij een kraantje toen hij ineens werd getroffen door een meteoriet. De chauffeur overleed ter plekke en drie anderen - twee tuinmannen en een student- raakten gewond.
In de grond waar de man stond, was na de explosie een krater ontstaan en er werd een zwarte steen gevonden die een 'pokkenachtige tekening toonde'. De steen werd doorgestuurd voor onderzoek naar het Indian Institute of Astrophysics. Er werden volgens de politie geen resten van explosieven gevonden. Het moest volgens de Indiase autoriteiten dus wel om een meteoriet gaan.
Sceptisch Maar de NASA was direct al sceptisch, want nooit eerder in de geschreven geschiedenis is er iemand dodelijk geraakt door een meteoriet. Bovendien was er die dag geen meteorenregen zichtbaar. Dit wordt door de NASA nauwkeurig in de gaten gehouden. En nu, na het bestuderen van de foto's en de informatie, weten ze het zeker: dit was geen meteoriet.
Lindley Johnson van de NASA schrijft in een e-mail aan de Amerikaanse krant The New York Times dat een dode door een meteorietinslag zo zeldzaam is, dat het nog nooit wetenschappelijk is beschreven. "Er zijn wel beschrijvingen van verwondingen, maar zelfs dat waren extreem zeldzame gebeurtenissen", aldus de NASA-deskundige.
De laatste keer dat er sprake was van grote schade door ruimtepuin was in 2013 na een meteorietinslag in Rusland. Zo'n 1200 mensen werden toen behandeld voor snijwonden doordat veel ramen kapotsprongen na een inslag van het ruimtepuin.
Incidenten Er zijn eerder incidenten geweest met vallende meteorieten. In 2009 werd een Duitse jongen geraakt. Een stukje ruimtepuin zo groot als een erwt schampte zijn hand. Een Amerikaanse vrouw werd in 1954 door een vier kilogram zware meteoriet geraakt terwijl ze lag te slapen. Ergens in 1650 zou een monnik zijn geraakt in Milaan. In Zweden kwamen in 1674 twee zeemannen om toen hun boot getroffen werd door een steen uit de ruimte.
I caught this UFO over a volcano that was named by the ancient Aztecs. This UFO was caught...mind you...during sunset! Sunset is the #1 best time of the day to catch a UFO. Below is an interesting Aztec story about Popocatepetl. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com The Aztec story about the volcano goes like this: Iztaccíhuatl's father sent Popocatepetl to war in Oaxaca, promising him his daughter as his wife if he returned. Iztaccíhuatl's father presumed he would not return and so arranged several suitors for his daughter. When Iztaccíhuatl heard of this she killed herself with a dagger, because she knew that Popocatepetl would never survive in battle, and did not want to marry anyone else. When Popocatépetl returned, and discovered the death of his lover, he took her to the top of the mountain, hoping the cold would wake her but Instead he froze. God covered them with snow and changed them into mountains. Iztac cíhuatl's mountain was called "La Mujer Dormida, (the "Sleeping Woman"), because it bears a resemblance to a woman sleeping on her back. Popocatépetl became the volcano Popocatépetl, raining fire on Earth in blind rage at the loss of his beloved.
I have a slight problem with her description. I have witnessed UFOs before, several times, once with dozens of soldiers in the parking lot. None of us panicked...none of us said...run! We did ask each other in soft voices, "what the hell are those things?" But we never freaked out. We just straight up like turkeys in a rain storm. I just don't think people would do that. Usually people stare as long as possible, trying to understand what they are seeing. This is why I calling bullshit on this sighting. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Inexplicata UFO News States: Argentina: Seeing is Believing - Family Photographs an Alleged UFO at La Rinconada The members of a family from Cutral Co claim having been able to see an unidentified flying object (UFO) for fleeting seconds at La Rinconada, not far from Junín de los Andes. They took photographs of the event, which frightened them. The Cutral Co al Instante web portal conveyed the statements made by Verónica, one of the protagonists of the incredible story, who noted that [the family] was on its way to Junín and stopped at La Rinconada spend some time on the banks of the Collon Cura River. Verónica says that she took a photo of a group of bikers crossing the bridge when she saw the strange object in the sty. "I screamed. Everyone looked and we saw it some 50 meters away, for an instant, just when I took the photo. After that, it was no longer there," she explained. Their initial reaction was to run and get into the car. "We took off immediately. We shut everything because it truly frightened us," said the resident of Cutral Co, who shared the photo that went viral over the weekend through social media.
Daytime UFO sighting filmed from a plane over New Mexico
Daytime UFO sighting filmed from a plane over New Mexico
Here’s one older UFO video that was just recently reported to MUFON. This was taken over New Mexico on 15th October 2014.
Witness report: A friend of mine showed me a video he took over New Mexico when he was onboard a plane from Dallas to Los Angeles. It was in October 2014. I don’t know the exact date. His GPS showed he was over New Mexico, north of Roswell. This can’t be a reflection because numerous passengers inside the plane saw the same light during an approximate 1 minute time frame. After watching the video many times, we still don’t know what is was! The object looks like it was over the horizon line at 35,000 feet, and then it entered the cloud.
Extra-terretrial organism is proof that there is life on other planets
Discovered using super-powerful magnets to capture minute pieces of debris floating in space, the “bull-shaped” particle is a “complete living entity”.
Professor Milton Wainwright the University of Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology claims it proves life exists outside Earth.
Its discovery was the result of an exploratory project in Derbyshire which involved launching powerful magnets into the stratosphere.
Professor Wainwright explained the image shows a crystal of salt with the bizarre horned creature erupting from one surface which was captured during the study.
He said it points further towards the panspermia theory that not only is there life in space but that it is constantly raining down to Earth.
He said: “The picture illustrates what we believe to be alien microbes high up in the stratosphere.
University of Buckingham
The 'organism' is said to be a complete living entity
“Our team has caused quite a stir over the last couple of two years by claiming these microbes are continually arriving to Earth from space.
“Our critics have been vocal in dismissing our work but, as yet, no one has provided a viable alternative explanation for our peer reviewed work.”
He said the structure is an “amorphous form” attached to a grain of salt and was discovered with rare elements including dysprosium, lutetium, neodymium and niobium.
He said: “As far as we can tell the particle has no relation to anything found on Earth.
“This latest launch is also exciting because the team has found particles containing, so-called, rare earth elements at a height close to 30 kilometres in the stratosphere.
“These particle masses are too big to have been carried up from Earth and, like the alien life forms we find, must be incoming to Earth from space.”
The microscopic metallic globe, also found by Professor Wainwright and his team, appeared to spew out a liquid thought to contain genetic material.
The latest find adds further “proof” to Professor Wainwright’s controversial theories that alien life exists within close parameters to Earth.
AP
Professor Wainwright has previously spoken about the existence of extraterrestrial life
His work is supported by Astrobiologist Chandra Wickramasinghe who has long held we are not alone in the universe.
It comes as a separate report penned by professor Wickramasinghe and Gensuke Tokoro of Japan’s Institute for the Study of Panspermia and Astroeconomics claims “extraterrestrial microbial life exists”.
Professor Wickramasinghe said: “From the turn of the millennium an impressive body of evidence has accumulated to indicate that microbial life does indeed exist outside the Earth.
GETTY
Other particles have also been discovered

The great Orion nebula
“It is permitted nowadays to assert that comets and meteorites delivered the chemical building blocks of life to form a primordial soup from which life originated on the Earth some four billion years ago.
“The idea of life originating on the Earth ‘in some primordial soup’ is deeply rooted in the religious and scientific culture of the Western world.
“We note that with the rapidly growing evidence that all points to the existence of extraterrestrial life it would be unwise to ignore the facts.
“Wrong ideas have crippled science in the past. If we are not vigilant it could happen again, and this time round the societal and economic consequences could be more disastrous.”

If this theory was true, our ages of the universe would be wrong, would only apply to the areas around us. It would be a positive because when our planet is no longer livable because of the age of our sun or something else, we can travel toward the origin, and find younger solar systems.
It also means there could be civilizations older than what we even think of the universe as.
In "The Big Bang Theory" Sheldon is bummed out because according to his calculations, he'll miss being able to download his consciousness into a digital format and living forever by "that much!"
Perhaps even that might be far behind what's possible. Looking at what we have achieved, just since WW2, what could we achieve in billions of years? Maybe we won't be tied to our meat suits anymore. Maybe we'll be able to exist without measurable mass at all and be able to find our way past what we think of as laws of nature.
Personally, I think there is, and must be something out there. My thoughts on this were changed considerable about a month ago when I heard first hand, from the actual witness, the most credible "UFO siting" I had ever heard.
This guy is the assistant sales manager at the dealership I work for. We'll call him Joe. Very laid-back, confident, quiet type. In the 2 years I've known him, I've never heard him say anything to draw attention to himself, build up other's opinions of him, shock people, or anything. I don't always like him, but he's like the most even keeled guy I know.
You can tell he actually dislikes attention. He's one of those sales managers that stays behind his desk and doesn't talk to customers, like ever.
Anyway, me (He doesn't seem to like me, didn't care much about the other guy, which adds credibility to me) one other guy and Joe are talking, I brought up some person I knew who was a crackpot, believed in all these conspiracys, and psychics, and Aliens etc.
And Joe starts off with, well I don't know about all the rest, but nothing against the alien part after the things I've seen.
"When you've seen the stuff I've seen, than you know."
And of course we insisted multiple times he tell us what he saw.
He isn't a creative person. This is literally the most complete story I have ever heard from him. He goes on a fishing trip for a week and I ask him how it went, his reply? "Good." Catch anything" "Ya, a couple small ones." Like he doesn't even tell fish stories...
He was on his first elk hunt when he was 14, with one other guy his age, and 8 adults. They are all sitting around the campfire etc, when Joe says "what's that?" He sees some odd lights low in the sky at the base of a mountain about 5-6 miles away. They are kinda hovering and moving around in a random way. So all 10 people are looking at it, see it, when it suddenly seems to recognize their focus, and in about 2 seconds, goes from 5-6 miles away, to directly overhead, like hundreds of feet he said. He could clearly see the disk shape, and the lights around the outside.
(Picture for illustration only)
It hovered there for what seemed like an eternity I'm sure, he said at least several seconds, and then it streaked off into the Horizon and disappeared within a second.
He called the guy who was his age 20 years later and brought it up, and the other guy remembered it clear as day as well.
I had never taken eye witness testimony seriously before, you'd have to know Joe... he is very uncreative, even keeled guy. He wouldn't, probably couldn't make something like that up. And he was clear that he had 9 other witnesses, so it wasn't a dream or anything.
And it couldn't be any technology we have because of how it moved, as if it's breaking the laws of physics. Obviously we couldn't even conceive how to start and stop at speeds like that.
So that's the best evidence I've heard, and really took extraterrestrial life from the realm of crackpot to possible for me.
We also talked about and I've seen some intriguing pictures from ancient civilizations.
I know a good amount of psychology as it's a hobby of mine, I don't really buy any other explanation in this case.
If true, Aliens could easily be the origin of many if not all our religions. If we found another planet with life on it, what we do? I'm assuming we would monitor it, without disturbing it as much as possible, and just observe evolution.
If you are advanced to that kind of level, they wouldn't need our resources, they can strip them from dead planets I'm sure.
So you observe them in the name of science.
It kinda makes you think, what would be the difference between a "god", and an ultra advanced alien life form from billions of years ahead of us?
People talking about the problems with abiogenesis, often don't think there was time for life to arise in the time it did. (Not saying I agree, we've made a lot of progress in this area)
But maybe it did take more time. Maybe it took billions of years on a DIFFERENT planet to come up with DNA, and it was seeded here, hence the relatively new arrival and diversification of life.
It's an interesting thought of course, though still far from verified, and I wouldn't advocate anyone quitting there job and chasing aliens, we should be working to improve our planet, our civilization, and our technology, and if there is an advanced intelligence out there, it'll make contact when and how it chooses.
2. Do you believe in Aliens?
by Dilip Kumar Kushwaha, Geographer,Traveler,Perpetual learner,proud of being Swadeshi Bihari Indian(F...
Do you believe in Aliens??? It’s complicated to answer. Aliens, Extraterrestrials, Space Men whatever you call them, sightings have been around since man first gazed into the skies. No one knows the facts. But we bring to you 9 signs that will give you goose bumps and may prove that they very well exist.
Apollo 11′s Sighting: Starting with NASA’s Apollo 11 Mission. During the three days of mission the crew reported a strange flying object not far from their location. First they assumed it as a piece of the detached SIV-B rocket until they received word that it was over 6,000 miles away. Since that time, the highly-trained crew and team of NASA scientists have no official explanation for what the object could have been.
Ancient Signs of Modern Technology: Egyptian Hieroglyphics show what appear to be images of a helicopter, submarine, boat, and jet airplane before it was invented. So many believe, it is proof that aliens once visited the ancient Egyptians, arriving in their advanced technology and leaving behind quit an interesting story for our ancestors to tell.
Napoleon’s Micro Chip: Scientists found a small, half-inch long foreign object embedded within the skeletal remains of once French ruler, Napoleon Bonaparte. However, that time it wasn’t invented. It created suspicions over Bonaparte’s own story of abduction when he disappeared for several days in July 1794, claiming he had been held prisoner against his will by a strange group of men.
The Battle of Los Angeles: On February 24, 1942, a local Los Angeles air base reported a UFO. Worried about another Japanese airstrike after the attack on Pearl Harbour, the sky was quickly filled with searchlights that swiftly found the aircraft. Now here comes the interesting point — however, the unidentified object was hit multiple times with anti-aircraft fire; it appeared to take no damage and soon disappeared, never to be seen again.
The “Wow Signal”: Ohio State University researches received a signal coming from nearly 220 million light years away that was so powerful, it was named the “Wow Signal”. Scientists were shocked that how a signal so strong could come from so far away without the use of advanced technology.
UFO stories: The number of near-collisions involving UFOs and commercial airlines seem only to grow larger with every passing year. There are countless stories, which claim to witness UFO. Many of these encounters are caught on FAA audio tape too.
Mars’ Methane: Back in 2004, 3 independent groups reported massively high amounts of methane within the atmosphere of Mars. That’s not very exciting. Until, you know that nearly all methane on earth is created by living organisms. So something is there….
“Call back” Radio Signals: Radio waves are frequently sent out to space from earth in an attempt to reach life other than our own. In 2004, scientist examined a series of radio waves from space only to discover that one signal in particular was getting stronger. So maybe they’re finally calling back.
The Alien Harvest: A team of British scientists sent a balloon into the outer reaches the stratosphere; it came back carrying tiny biological organisms. These organisms, which the balloon accidently harvested in space, have the scientist convinced that alien life exists....I have taken it from India.com...........
3. The following well-respected people all affirm the existence of UFOs.
Many have gone on record and have sworn under oath to testify that they have seen evidence of UFO intelligence first hand. With a few exceptions, most UFO reports on record from military pilots have come from the World War II and Korean War eras, or from recently retired officers. Military pilots, naturally are restricted from discussing sightings freely while they are on active duty. Airline pilots however, have contributed some of the best reports on record, although in recent years some have reported pressure not to discuss sightings.

UFO Sightings in Belgium: the situation in 2015
UFO Sightings in Belgium: the situation in 2015
The Belgisch UFO-meldpunt1 for the Flemish part of the country and COBEPS2 for the French part have merged their data to establish the first national survey of UFO sightings.
A UFO sighting is the public statement made by UFO witnesses, from the witnesses point of view. Such declarations are done, mainly, by the way of forms directly filled in and available on the websites of the two organisations. However, a UFO seen by one or more witnesses does not mean that it is not identifiable by experts. The Belgisch UFO-meldpunt and COBEPS make investigations about these sightings and, when possible, propose explanations.
The level of investigation depends on the strangeness of the case, the quality of the information given by the witnesses, and their credibility. There were 319 UFO sightings in 2015 and 237 in 2014. There is an increase in the two regions. This increase is probably the result of a bigger media attention around two videos relevant for the Flemish part, but which is not statistically significant for the French part. The two organisations agreed that there is no increase of the number of unidentified phenomena following investigations.
VIDEOVanuit de huiskamer meekijken hoe het met de rijdende Marsrover Curiosity gaat: het kan nu. De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA plaatste maandag een nieuwe video van Curiosity mét rondkijkmogelijkheid op YouTube.
De 3D-panoramavideo is samengesteld uit honderden beelden die werden genomen op 8 december 2015. Op de beelden zijn de Namib duinen te zien, op zo'n zeven meter afstand van de camera.
Op de achtergrond is het Marsgebergte Mount Sharp te zien. Dit zijn de eerste beelden die gemaakt zijn van zandduinen op een andere planeet dan de aarde, verklaart NASA.
De Curiosity Mars Rover is sinds 2012 op Mars voor onderzoek naar het klimaat en het milieu op mars.
RUIMTEVAARTEr is iets eigenaardigs aan de hand met het sterrenstelsel NGC 1487, dat zich op 30 miljoen lichtjaren van de aarde in de constellatie Eridanus bevindt. Deze foto van de ruimtetelescoop Hubble toont dat het niet bestaat uit één, maar uit meerdere sterrenstelsels die bezig zijn samen te smelten.
'We zijn er getuige van hoe twee of meer sterrenstelsels samensmelten tot één nieuw'
Volgens NASA mogen we het sterrenstelsel niet bekijken als een object, maar eerder als een evenement. "We zijn er getuige van hoe twee of meer sterrenstelsels samensmelten tot één nieuw", legt de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie uit in een blogpost. "Elk van die sterrenstelsels heeft bijna alle sporen van zijn originele uitzicht verloren, omdat sterren en gas overhoop gegooid worden door de zwaartekracht."
Door het enorme geweld waarmee dit gebeurt, is het moeilijk te bepalen hoeveel sterrenstelsels deel uitmaken van het fusieproces en wat hun eigen karakteristieken zijn. Volgens NASA zijn de gele en rode sterren aan de buitenzijde van het sterrenstelsel ouder, en zijn de heldere blauwe sterren in het midden wel licht het resultaat van de fusie.

VIDEO: Marokko in de ban van ‘uit de lucht vallende wolken’
VIDEO: Marokko in de ban van ‘uit de lucht vallende wolken’
Op internet gaat momenteel een filmpje rond waarin te zien is hoe een vreemde schuimachtige substantie zich door de Marokkaanse regio Doukala-Abda verspreidt. De maker van het filmpje reageert vol verbazing.
Op de sociale media is het filmpje inmiddels vele honderdduizenden keren bekeken. In de video is te zien hoe grote vlokken van het raadselachtige goedje over de grond rollen. De cameraman zegt dat hij nog nooit eerder zoiets heeft gezien en gelooft dat het wolken zijn die uit de lucht zijn gevallen. “Ik heb nog nooit wolken gezien die op de grond vallen,” zei hij. “Dit is vreemd.”
Sommigen menen dat ze het gevolg zijn van chemtrails. Anderen denken dat het echte wolken zijn die op de grond zijn gevallen. Dan is er nog een groep die stelt dat het gewoon zeeschuim is dat door de wind aan wal is geblazen, aangezien de regio aan de Atlantische Oceaan grenst.
Eén iemand reageerde op YouTube dat de substantie mogelijk ‘kunstmatig schuim is, dat gemaakt is om in de lucht te zweven en op wolken lijkt’. “Ik denk dat het iets te maken heeft met chemtrails,” zei iemand anders.
Op de sociale netwerken wordt druk gespeculeerd over de rare witte substantie. Experts hebben nog niet kunnen vaststellen wat het precies is. Klimatoloog Said Karrouk vertelde aan de Huffington Post: “Dit is schuim dat ontstaat bij vervuiling en zeker geen wolk.”
Met de enorme toename van vuurbollen (meteorieten) in de lucht was het een kwestie van tijd voordat de eerste mens zou worden getroffen.
Zo zijn alleen al in Amerika het aantal vuurbollen de afgelopen drie jaar vervijfvoudigd en dat alles heeft uiteraard een oorzaak.
Vorig jaar schreven wij een artikel naar aanleiding van een inslag van een meteoriet in Iran die nogal wat schade veroorzaakte, maar waar in de wereldpers nauwelijks aandacht aan werd besteed.
Volgens Iraanse kranten hadden we te maken met een behoorlijk grote meteoriet van enkele meters groot. Deze is misschien verder uit elkaar gevallen en de brokstukken zijn op verschillende plekken terechtgekomen. Er wordt gesproken over gebroken ramen en ontzette ramen en deuren.
Dit is een verhaal dat op iedere voorpagina ter wereld zou horen te staan. Een niet ontdekte asteroïde die op de aarde afstormt en als meteoriet aanzienlijke schade veroorzaakt op deze planeet.
Voor diegenen die de uitdrukkingen asteroïde en meteoriet verwarrend vinden, hier een uitleg van het verschil tussen beiden.
De vraag is dan ook waarom dit nergens in de Westerse mainstream media wordt vermeld.
Het antwoord zal voor veel mensen misschien komen als een schok. Het is simpelweg omdat de mensheid helemaal niets mag weten over dit soort gebeurtenissen. Daarom is men ook heel blij, als het inderdaad toeval is, dat deze meteoriet terechtgekomen is in Iran want dan is het niet zo moeilijk om dit voor de Westerse wereld verborgen te houden.
Het aantal asteroïden dat onze kant op komt zal met de komst van de planeet Nibiru alleen maar verder toenemen. Als er íets is dat men zo lang mogelijk voor de mensheid verborgen wil houden dan is het wel dat we binnen niet al te lange tijd zullen kennismaken met deze planeet.
We hebben afgelopen jaren dan ook de meest vreemde voorvallen meegemaakt waarbij meteorieten insloegen door daken van huizen, maar nog nooit dat een mens werd getroffen door een meteoriet en daarbij het leven liet.
Het lijkt erop dat dit precies is wat er in India is gebeurd en wel in de stad Vellore in de Zuid Indiase deelstaat Tamil Nadu.
Een man met de naam Kamaraj, die als buschauffeur werkte bij een technisch college, kwam zaterdag om het leven toen er vlakbij de watertank een explosie werd gehoord. Kamaraj die onderweg was om wat te gaan drinken en daar liep werd getroffen en overleed aan zijn verwondingen.
Naast de explosie ontstond er ook een krater in de grond.
Naast Kamaraj raakten nog drie mensen gewond en braken de ruiten in gebouwen en de bussen die daar geparkeerd stonden.
In eerste instantie dacht men aan een bomexplosie, maar al snel werd duidelijk dat een meteoriet de schuldige was.
Dit verhaal komt dan wel in de mainstream-pers terecht omdat het bijzonder is dat een mens wordt getroffen door een meteoriet.
Waar dan weer géén aandacht aan wordt besteed is het feit dat het aantal vuurbollen (meteorieten) die de aarde bereiken de laatste jaren schrikbarend is toegenomen.
Hieronder een grafiek voor Amerika, maar die geldt eigenlijk ook voor de rest van de wereld omdat dit fenomeen zich overal voordoet en niet is beperkt tot een bepaalde regio.
Dan zie je een explosieve stijging van vuurbollen gedurende de afgelopen paar jaar.

Unidentified flying object over San Antonio, Texas 26-Jan-2016
Here’s one interesting UFO sighting video of an unknown lights in the night sky above San Antonio in Texas. This paranormal event happened on 26th January 2016.
Witness report:What I recorded was a large, unidentified craft being “escorted” by a jet. The lighting, to me and my son, was unusual. So was it’s speed, it’s flight path, and altitude. I do not claim to be an expert in aeronautics. However, I can tell what is typical for my area.
Mulder and Scully have witnessed far too much nutty space shit to remain incredulous.
An old, recognizable poster is visible on the wall of Fox Mulder's office during the new X-Files miniseries. It shows a blurry image of what appears to be a flying saucer hovering over a forest. Printed in bold type below the shot: i want to believe. It serves as a testament to Mulder's earnest faith in extraterrestrial or paranormal beings and a deep skepticism towards a heavy-handed federal government that suppresses and obfuscates their existence.
That the iconic image still hangs in the same spot since The X-Files pilot aired way back in 1993 is a little wink to longtime fans. But in 2016, it's also a cringe-inducing, laughably outdated relic—both because of events that have occurred over the last 23 years in Chris Carter's beloved sci-fi universe and, more importantly, what's transpired in our own world.
The gap in The X-Files's internal logic is the size of a black hole, and it's the most glaring problem that drags down the six-episode miniseries. (Episode four airs tonight.) The show asks viewers to be smart enough to follow its dense plots and labyrinthine conspiracy theories while also demanding they turn off their brains long enough to swallow the idea that this pair of FBI agents and ex-lovers still question the existence of otherworldly beings and strange phenomena after being exposed to a lifetime's worth of crazy in the original pilot alone.
The show's writers have taken great pains to muddy the supernatural waters with fake-outs and red herrings; it's part of the purpose of Dana Scully's character. By playing the rationalist Clarence Darrow to Mulder's William Jennings Bryan in all things unexplained, she plants seeds of doubt in the viewer's mind. But presumably the duo has witnessed far too many slimy aliens, werebeasts, and shadowy men in black during their tenure to remain incredulous. As a spook-hunting sleuth, Scully's been abducted, impregnated by aliens, and made out with a shapeshifter—just to name a few indignities. (The 401k and health benefits at the FBI's X-Files division must be amazing.) After all that does she really still think all this nutty space shit is a product of psychosis and natural phenomena?
Still, The X-Files has bigger problems than the amnesia of its characters: the show's core premise has aged much worse than its attractive lead actors. The Roswell incident is a fun diversion, but there's something hopelessly quaint about being obsessed with the cover-up of a gaggle of big-eyed aliens that crashed in the New Mexico desert 60 years ago when measured against the insanity of the present.
Consider that we currently live in a world where nation-state superpowers prepare for the possibility of a proxy war in space and our own government openly spies on us by scanning our e-mails and listening to our phone calls ("I've heard of Edward Snowden," Mulder quips during the first episode, but offers no further commentary). It's hard to give a shit about UFOs when our own military employs drone fleets to shoot missiles at foreigners for associating with suspected enemy militants, and is now experimenting with building a robot army for the ground war of the future. The biggest cover-ups in our government are not conducted in some secret government lab—they're out in the open. Lobbyists and super PACs backed by massive corporations cast doubt on the irrefutable truth about climate change and ensure no new federal gun regulations are passed. Who's afraid of a few ghosts when we've got the ghosts in the political machine?
And conspiracy theories? Those things are a dime a dozen these days. It's hard to buy 2016 Mulder as some sort of fringe personality because of his views of American government when a significant number of us have adopted some version of those same views.
ELISE AMENDOLA/AP
Some of the conspiracy theories spread by the 2016 Republican presidential candidates make Fox Mulder look like Walter Cronkite.
In 1958, 73 percent of Americans trusted the government, according to aPew Study. But by April 1980, that number had cratered to 28 percent. In Ronald Reagan, we elected a president who positioned himself as someone who shared that same outlook, who saw overgrown government as "the problem, not the solution." There were plenty of legitimate reasons for the mounting disillusionment towards Washington—Watergate, Vietnam, the Cold War, the excesses of the CIA and FBI, you name it. But some suspected that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg of government overreach and power, and they concocted ideas that the feds covered up JFK's real killer or faked the moon landing or concealed an alien spaceship near Roswell.
By the time that The X-Files debuted in 1993, it tapped into a certain breed of paranoia that didn't just expand but went mainstream, especially on conservative talk radio. As the top syndicated talk show host in country, Rush Limbaugh was unafraid to spout off conspiratorial theories about, say, the death of White House deputy counsel Vince Foster. During The X-Files's peak later in the decade, Rupert Murdoch's Fox News institutionalized and legitimized a more virulent strain of American thought about the nature of the entities that govern us. Today when Republican presidential candidates offer crazy theories about President Obama—that he was born in Kenya or is secretly instituting Sharia law in America or will authorize an obscure, 20-year-old nonbinding United Nations resolution that will abolish private property—that person isn't straitjacketed and given a tinfoil hat to wear. That person wins the Iowa caucus and pushes on against the tyranny of better health care.
Not that conspiracy theories are relegated to the right. The left is increasingly rife with batty ideas: "9/11 was an inside job!" "Vaccines cause autism!" "There are toxins in all my food!" "The Koch Brothers control everything!"
Perhaps that's why midway through the first episode of the new miniseason of The X-Files, the showrunners rip up decades of the franchise's mythology to unveil the "real conspiracy" that drives world events, one that scratches the left's anxieties just as much as those of the right. A faux Fox News commentator Tad O'Malley (Joel McHale) clues in Mulder to an elaborate plot that somehow incorporates climate change, the prison-industrial complex, agribusiness, the NSA, and more. Turns out that extraterrestrials were benevolent do-gooders come to earth in the prime of the nuclear age to save us from ourselves. But the government killed them and have spent the last several decades exploiting and developing their technology and driving world events to a coming moment where this elite top 0.1 percent will take over the world.
It's like a postapocalyptic horror movie coauthored by Occupy Wall Street and Ayn Rand, and it's sure a lot to put on a poster. But I'm sure Fox Mulder will find a way; after all, every man of faith needs an icon.

Dwarf Planet Ceres Still Stuns, 215 Years After Discovery
Dwarf Planet Ceres Still Stuns, 215 Years After Discovery
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
215 years after its discovery, we know so much more about the dwarf planet Ceres. NASA's Dawn spacecraft captured this amazing view of Ceres in the asteroid belt, showing the dwarf planet's Occator Crater in false color, after it arrived in orbit around Ceres in 2015.

The dwarf planet Ceres was first glimpsed through a telescope 215 years ago, and as researchers learn more than ever, they continue to be amazed by the object.
NASA's Dawn mission arrived at the dwarf planet last year and saw odd features that observers are still trying to figure out: more than 130 reflective areas are likely made up of salt, and the small body also hosts a rather large, cone-shaped mountain.
"When [Italian astronomer Giuseppe] Piazzi discovered Ceres, exploring it was beyond imagination," Marc Rayman, mission director and chief engineer for Dawn at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in a statement. "More than two centuries later, NASA dispatched a machine on a cosmic journey of more than 3 billion miles to reach the distant, mysterious world he glimpsed." [Photos: Dwarf Planet Ceres, the Solar System's Largest Asteroid]
But back when Ceres was discovered, Piazzi didn't quite understand what he was looking at. After his first observation on Jan. 1, 1801, he noticed that the object had changed position slightly on his next observing night. His first suspicion was that it was a comet, but he also had evidence that the object might be something else.
"I have presented this star as a comet, but owing to its lack of nebulosity, and to its motion being so slow and rather uniform, I feel in the heart that it could be something better than a comet, perhaps," Piazzi wrote to fellow astronomer Barnaba Oriani.
Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi discovered Ceres on Jan. 1, 1801, using this instrument, called a Ramsden Circle. The telescope is on display at the Palermo Observatory in Sicily.

Piazzi also wrote to astronomer Johann Elert Bode, who devised a mathematical formula that he said would predict the locations of planets in the solar system relative to the sun. There was an undiscovered planet, the formula said, between Mars and Jupiter. For this reason, Ceres caught Bode's attention. Bode had already marshaled a group of astronomers to search for an object in that region, and he was determined to uncover more information. (We now know that the formula merely outlined a coincidence in the planets' positions.)
Piazzi spoke to the press about his finding, but he did not give his data to other astronomers. This made things difficult when he fell ill and was unable to continue his observations. In February of that year, Paris-based astronomer Jérôme de Lalande asked for some data from Piazzi, who provided it in April, after he had recovered. One of Lalande's students, Johann Karl Burckhardt, then calculated that the orbit of Ceres appeared to be circular, unlike a comet's.
But by the spring of 1801, no one had been able to see the new object besides Piazzi, because the skies had been cloudy. Also, by that time, Ceres was so close to the sun, from Earth's perspective, that it couldn't be seen at night. There was a real risk of losing it in the skies forever. After immense pressure from other astronomers to make his observations public, Piazzi published the data in July. Ceres was finally spotted again in December 1801 by astronomer Franz Xaver von Zach, using projections from mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.
Astronomers still debated about the status of Ceres — comet, planet or something else — until other objects like it were discovered between Mars and Jupiter. These findings included Pallas (1802), Juno (1804) and Vesta (1807). Astronomer William Herschel suggested that these smaller objects be called "asteroids," because they appear starlike in telescopes.
Today we have found hundreds of thousands of asteroids in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 along with Pluto, due to its size and circular shape. Researchers have viewed it with the Hubble Space Telescope and up close with NASA's Dawn mission, which is orbiting the dwarf planet.
Dawn is currently in its lowest orbit ever, just 240 miles (385 kilometers) from Ceres' surface, where it will reveal even more about the mysterious dwarf planet.
Mount Kailash, which means “precious jewel of eternal snow” remains a place shrouded in mystery and legend.
According to ancient beliefs, this enigmatic Tibetan mountain represents the axis of the world or the stairway to heaven. In many eastern countries Mount Kailash is considered the holiest place on Earth. Some ancient sources say this is where we can find the mysterious city of the gods.
Located around four long rivers, the Indus River, the Sutlej River, the Brahmaputra River, and the Karnali River, Mount Kailash remains a very sacred place and a great repository of mystical knowledge.
Considered as the holy abode of Lord Shiva, the mountain is currently considered unconquered. It advised not to climb the mountain, since that would be sacrilege and cause misfortune.
A man-made pyramid?
Mount Kailash somewhat unusual shape has led to speculations that perhaps the mountain is not a mountain at all. Russian scientists have suggested that the top of Mount Kailash is actually a giant man-made pyramid from ancient times. Now, if this is true, then human history has to be re-written. It would mean that this is the largest known pyramid known today.
Scientists who have studied the mountain’s topography and structure say that it has a pyramidal shape, and not unlike all known pyramids, is strictly oriented to the cardinal points. “The results of recent Russian studies of Tibet and the Kailash range in particular, if true, could radically alter our knowledge on the growth of humanity and civilizations. One of the theories that the Russians have put forth is that Mt. Kailash could be a vast, human-built pyramid, the heart of an entire complex of a hundred smaller pyramids.
Additionally, this complex might be the center of a world-wide system connecting other monuments or sites where miraculous and paranormal phenomena have been observed.
Numerous travelers, especially in the beginning of the 20th century, have come to proclaim this owing to the fact that Mt. Kailash is too perfect to be a totally natural phenomenon, or at any rate give the appearance of human intervention.
Its shape resembles a vast cathedral and hellip; the sides of the mountain are surprisingly perpendicular and fall sheer for hundreds of feet.
The stratum is horizontal with the layers of stone slightly varying in color. The dividing lines show up clear and distinct, which gives the entire mountain the facade of having been built by giant hands, of huge blocks of reddish stone,” Researchers Club reports.
Ancient aliens at Mount Kailash?
There are also some ancient Buddhist legends about Mount Kailash that indicate the place was used by powerful gods who possessed alien advanced technology.
According to one legend, a Buddhist “sorcerer” named Milarepa challenged the sorcerer of the Bön religion, Naro Bön-chung. There was a fierce superhuman battle, but both sorcerers turned out to be equally powerful.
They then decided to race each other to the top of Mount Kailash.
One of them used some sort of magic drum to reach the top, while the other won by using ‘rays of the sun’. What was the “magic drum” and “rays of sun”? Was it some kind of ancient alien technology? Were the “magicians” actually ancient aliens flying in spaceships?
What is causing the rapid aging?
Another mysterious aspect about the mountain concerns the rapid aging of those who visited the area. After spending 12 hours in the region, the length of nails and hair is equal to two weeks in normal conditions! Is this caused by some energy surrounding this mysterious place?
A secret entrance to Shambala?
Interest in Mount Kailash goes back far in time. Several mystics have said the mountain has a secret entrance leading to the legendary kingdom of Shambala.
Some Indian sects believe that there is a region north of the Himalayas called Kapapa, where “perfect men” reside. Shambhala itself is supposed to be a land in or just north of Tibet, where many travelers have heard of the tradition from holy men:
“In the midst of high mountains there are unsuspected enclosed valleys. Many hot springs nourish the rich vegetation. Many rare plants and medicinal herbs are able to flourish on this unusual volcanic soil.
Milarepa was a yogi, sage, and poet much-beloved by the Tibetan people. He was often depicted as in the illustration shown here, with a hand raised to his ear in a listening gesture, symboling his way of teaching the Buddhist wisdom through songs.
Shambhala, the land safeguarding the Kalachakra teachings is difficult to find. A Himalayan explorer, Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) was one of those who believed in existence of Shambhala. Many others did the same and even tried to reach Shambala.
Some of them disappeared forever and never found this fabulous kingdom whose reality is visionary or spiritual as much as physical or geographic.
“In Tibetan texts it is written that Shambhala is a spiritual country that is located in the north-west of Kailash. It is hard for me to discuss this topic from a scientific point of view. But I can quite positively say that Kailash complex is directly related to life on Earth, and when we did schematic map “City of the Gods”, consisting of pyramids and stone mirrors, we were very surprised – the scheme was similar to the spatial structure of DNA molecules,” Professor Ernst Muldashev said.
According to Tibetan Buddhist Teachings, Shambhala is a “Place of Happiness and Tranquility” and also a place where many religious teachings originated.
It is rumored that when the ice finally melts, it will reveal “THE EYE”. Prof. Ernst Muldashev Ph.D., a doctor and explorer, after exploring Tibet said:
“There are two underground countries, the Shambhala and Agartha, which are each part of the gene pool of humanity and civilization. Information provided by the Thule Society (Eckhart and Haushofer), shows there is a higher civilization, coming from the Gobi, from the Himalaya and divided into two branches, the Shambhala and Agartha. The former being the center of power, protected by unknown forces and energy. It seems that not only are there underground centers in Tibet and the Himalayas but these tunnels are widespread all over the entire globe”
Home of the gods
Mount Kailash is of great religious significance. Hinduism teaches that Lord Shiva, the destroyer of evil and sorrow, resides at the summit of the legendary mountain Kailash, where he sits in a state of perpetual meditation along with his wife Parvati. According to Vishnu Purana the mountain’s four faces are made of crystal, ruby, gold, and lapis lazuli. It is a pillar of the world and is located at the heart of six mountain ranges symbolizing a lotus.
Mount Kailash was home of Lord Shiva.
According to Buddhism, the mountain is home of the Buddha Demchok who represents supreme bliss.
It is also said that it was on this sacred mountain that Buddhism replaced Bon as the primary religion of Tibet. The Bon is an indigenous religion which predates Buddhism in Tibet. In Jainism, Kailash is called Mount Ashtapada and is the site where the first Jain Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, attained liberation from rebirth.
Ancient secrets of Mount Kailash remain embedded in the heart of the Himalayas and this mysterious place will continue to fascinate people for a very long time. Perhaps one day in the future, we will be able to unravel the mysteries of Mount Kailash and find answers to questions that intrigue us. There is no doubt this is a place of great cultural and spiritual significance.

Ondes gravitationnelles : encore une prédiction d'Einstein confirmée !
Ondes gravitationnelles : encore une prédiction d'Einstein confirmée !
Pour la première fois, les "vibrations de l'espace-temps" prédites par Einstein ont été détectées. Une découverte plus importante que celle du boson de Higgs.
Au départ, ce n'était qu'une folle rumeur. Un message posté le 11 janvier sur Twitterpar le cosmologiste Lawrence Krauss, de l'université d'Arizona State : « Mes dernières informations au sujet du Ligo ont été confirmées par des sources indépendantes. Restez branchés ! On a peut-être découvert des ondes gravitationnelles !! Excitant. » Retweeté plus de 1 900 fois, le tweet du cosmologiste a fait le tour de la planète science, s'attirant une volée de réactions sceptiques tant la nouvelle était à peine croyable. Mais, désormais, la découverte est quasi officielle : des physiciens sont parvenus à détecter des ondes gravitationnelles. « Si l'information est confirmée, c'est l'une des plus importantes découvertes scientifiques de notre temps. À mon avis, plus importante encore que celle du boson de Higgs ! explique au Point Catherine Bréchignac, secrétaire perpétuelle de l'Académie des sciences. La preuve que nous disposons maintenant d'un appareil capable de mieux comprendre l'infiniment grand. Nous n'allons plus nous contenter de regarder les étoiles, mais voir à l'intérieur d'elles, car ces ondes pénètrent la matière au seuil de laquelle la lumière s'arrête. »
L'histoire des ondes gravitationnelles commence il y a cent ans avec Albert Einsteinqui se met en tête de comprendre comment se propage le champ gravitationnel dans la toute nouvelle théorie de la gravitation qu'il vient de construire, la théorie de la relativité générale. Mais l'article que le physicien écrit en 1916 contient une importante erreur, et ce n'est qu'en 1918, dans un deuxième papier, qu'il en donne la bonne description. Les ondes gravitationnelles, « OG » de leur petit nom, forment l'un des éléments-clés de la théorie de la relativité générale : la propagation par ondes, à la vitesse de la lumière de la gravitation. La relativité générale prédit en effet que tout corps qui se déplace génère une déformation de la structure de l'espace-temps, autrement dit, modifie les distances et le temps, et cette déformation se propage par ondes successives dans le cosmos à la manière d'une vague à la surface de l'eau. Seuls des événements extrêmement violents génèrent des OG, des cataclysmes cosmiques, tels que la formation d'une étoile dans un trou noir, l'explosion d'une supernova ou encore la collision de deux étoiles à neutrons. Mais, pour autant, personne n'avait encore réussi à détecter ces déformations de l'espace-temps, qui se propagent dans l'Univers à 300 000 km/s, la vitesse de la lumière.
« Courage »
Cela fait trente ans pourtant que les scientifiques les traquent activement. D'un côté, Virgo, une antenne de détection construite à Pise sous l'égide du CNRS et de l'Institut national de physique nucléaire italien (INFN), qui mobilise six équipes françaises (APC, LAL, LAPP, LMA, LKB, OCA). De l'autre, Ligo de la National Science Foundation avec ses deux interféromètres situés aux États-Unis. En 2014, vu l'ampleur du défi, Virgo et Ligo ont signé un accord pour mettre en commun leurs données. En septembre 2015, ce sont les deux interféromètres américains qui ont enfin capté des signaux, éphémères – ils n'ont duré qu'une petite fraction de seconde –, provenant du mouvement orbital, puis de la fusion de deux trous noirs géants, chacun d'une masse équivalant à 30 soleils, situés à environ un milliard d'années-lumière de la Terre. C'est cette observation qui vient donc d'être confirmée après vérification des données.
Pendant longtemps, on a douté de l'existence de ces ondes. « La première preuve mathématique n'a été apportée qu'en 1952 par Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat, spécialiste de la relativité. Puis, à la fin des années 50, un autre pionnier, Joseph Weber, a eu le courage de penser qu'il fallait construire des détecteurs assez sensibles pour détecter les OG », raconte Thibault Damour (1), professeur à l'Institut des hautes études scientifiques, qui a notamment fourni au réseau Ligo/Virgo une méthode inédite pour décrire le signal émis par la fusion de deux trous noirs et faciliter ainsi sa détection.
« Courage », le mot n'est pas trop fort si l'on interroge les chercheurs qui ont consacré tout ou partie de leur carrière à la quête des ondes gravitationnelles. « Dès le début de construction de Virgo, il y a eu plusieurs voix conservatrices qui se sont levées : c'est trop risqué, trop cher, mieux vaudrait investir sur d'autres domaines. Heureusement, le CNRS a tenu bon ; c'est cela, l'avantage principal des organismes nationaux de recherche, leur persévérance sur des cibles scientifiques de longue durée », se souvient Stavros Katsanevas, directeur adjoint scientifique de l'Institut de physique nucléaire et physique des particules (IN2P3) du CNRS et président de l'Observatoire européen des ondes gravitationnelles (EGO/ VIRGO) de 2002 à 2012. « Cela dit, la construction de Virgo a commencé trois ans plus tard que celle de Ligo. Les collègues de Virgo ont fait des efforts remarquables, et le retard s'est réduit à quelques mois seulement. Les deux collaborations travaillent main dans la main et des contributions cruciales dans l'analyse de ces événements ont été apportées par les équipes européennes, telles que le laboratoire Astroparticule et Cosmologie de l'IN2P3/Paris-Diderot/CeA/Obs de Paris. »
Vertigineux
Depuis l'annonce de la détection, c'est comme si le monde de la physique avait subi une onde gravitationnelle, et ceux qui n'avaient pas brillé par leur enthousiasme jouent désormais des coudes pour être sur la photo. Il est vrai que l'exploit de Virgo/Ligo donne ni plus ni moins naissance à une nouvelle astronomie. Quatre cents ans après l'astronomie optique lancée par Galilée lorsqu'il a braqué sa lunette vers le ciel. « Les premiers radiotélescopes ont ensuite ouvert la voie à l'astronomie radio, les satellites ont lancé l'astronomie des rayons X, puis celle des rayons gamma, etc. Des astronomies toutes basées sur les ondes électromagnétiques jusqu'à ce que les premiers détecteurs de neutrinos cosmiques inaugurent l'astronomie neutronique. La détection des ondes gravitationnelles, d'un autre type de signal donc, nous donne de nouvelles lunettes pour voir des choses nouvelles dans l'Univers », précise Thibault Damour.
De fait, les perspectives sont vertigineuses : pouvoir sonder l'énergie noire, cette force étrange qui expliquerait l'expansion de notre Univers, mieux explorer le cosmos et, pourquoi pas, remonter dans le temps jusqu'à 14 milliards d'années. En effet, non seulement les physiciens ont capturé le signal émis par des ondes gravitationnelles, mais ils ont aussi observé, pour la première fois, la fusion de deux trous noirs. La preuve de l'existence de ces ogres dévoreurs de lumière, qui détiennent peut-être le secret de la naissance de notre Univers. Au début des années 2000, Jean-Pierre Luminet, astrophysicien à l'Observatoire de Paris-Meudon et directeur de recherche au CNRS, écrivait : « Les frontières de la science sont toujours un mélange bizarre de vérité nouvelle, d'hypothèse raisonnable et de conjecture extravagante. » La prouesse que viennent d'accomplir les physiciens américains, français et italiens ouvre une fenêtre sur l'Univers en apparence extravagant inventé par Einstein il y a un siècle.

Dutch police are collaborating with a raptor training company named Guard From Above in an attempt to train eagles to take down rogue drones.
Honestly, it’s a pretty genius idea to train birds of prey for such a thing versus having some idiot with a gun going “drone hunting.”
While testing is still ongoing to make it as safe as possible for the eagles, you can clearly see in the footage below how easily an eagle can take out a drone.
In the future, it’s possible we see some type of animal dream team specifically deployed to take out drones, which could include eagles, gorillas, geese, dogs, and kangaroos.
Under the terms of the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, the Defense Intelligence Agency has declassified several hundred pages of documentation on UFOs. Of course, the file does not contain any kind of definitive smoking-gun. It does, however, provide the reader with more than a few intriguing reports on notable incidents. One such incident, described in the DIA’s files, occurred in the summer of 1979.
The DIA documentation notes that late on the afternoon of August 8, 1979, “…the Embassy here received information that a strange object had been found on a farm near Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Source stated that the object was about 70 centimeters in diameter and two meters in circumference with a hole in one side and a metal skin covering of approx one-half inch thickness. Later the object was described as ‘about three times the size of a basketball.'”
Additionally, we have the following information: “A second fireball fell from the sky early in the morning of the same day that the first one was found near Cotoca. This second one was found 200 kilometers north of the city of Santa Cruz on the farm of Juan Saavedra by the Campesino Gonzalo Menacho Viveras. The place is in the area of Buen Retiro near the Yapacane River. According to the information given by the Campesino, around 12:30 a.m. on Friday last week he heard a loud whistling sound and saw a fireball followed by an explosion. He said that the next evening a silent aircraft that had three lights was flying over the explosion area.”
The document continues: “After dawn on Friday morning the Campesino started looking around the area of the impact and found a sphere. As it was not heavy, he took it home where he kept it until his friend, Nataniel Mendez Hurtado, learned of the other sphere in Cotoca and passed on information concerning this second sphere. The mystery of finding these two spheres, exactly alike, is that according to the witnesses they were fireballs. That is to say that these spheres became real balls of fire when they entered the atmosphere because of the friction and after a high speed fall they hit the ground. However, in the area where they’ve been found, there were no signs of the impact and looks as though the spheres landed smoothly.”
The file also reveals that American personnel had secured “a roll of 35mm film for color prints and a roll of Kodachrome 40 movie film. The 35 mm film will be developed and printed here in La Paz. The movie film will be forwarded to DIA.” Back in the late 1980s – using the Freedom of Information Act – I tried to obtain copies of the film and the photos. But, unfortunately, with no luck. I wasn’t denied access to the material, I should stress. It could no longer be found by the time of my request.
It must be said that this particular case almost certainly has a prosaic explanation. Namely, that the spheres were probably debris from a rocket-launch, or from a satellite decaying in the Earth’s atmosphere. Here’s a perfect and near-identical example. On the other hand, that the spheres seemed to have landed in a fashion described as “smoothly,” rather than slamming into the ground after a violent descent through the Earth’s atmosphere, is thought-provoking. As is the fact that there was no noticeable impact point – at either site – which again reinforces the image of a smooth descent. And what are we to make of that “silent aircraft” which flew over the “explosion area” one night after the second event occurred?
As is so often the case in such affairs, we’re left with more questions than answers.

Grasshopper was a reusable vertical-takeoff-and-landing rocket prototype tested by the company Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) in preparation for more ambitious launches. After progressively higher hops and pinpoint landings in two years, SpaceX wrapped up the program in 2013 to move resources into the Falcon 9 rocket.
The first stage of several versions of the Falcon 9 rocket have splashed down successfully, and SpaceX is now aiming to land the rocket on an automated barge. Several barge-landing attempts have been made since 2015, but the rocket has not survived any of them yet. SpaceX, however, says that it is getting close to success and that the technology is possible to make the pinpoint landing happen.
Grasshopper was the first stage of SpaceX's Falcon 9, which the company still uses today for the Dragon cargo spacecraft flights to the station. Test flights ran between 2012 and 2013 and were successful, according to SpaceX.
First announced in September 2011, Grasshopper was one piece of SpaceX's desire to make a fully reusable system that will fly cargo and people to and from space. Traditionally, rockets have been considered "throwaway" items, with few exceptions (such as the space shuttle's external solid rocket boosters.)
SpaceX's vision then included fly-back first and second stages on the rocket as well as a spacecraft that can land on land. The Dragon spacecraft currently lands on the water, similar to how the Apollo spacecraft used to do. The human-rated version of the spacecraft will also initially land on water, but later versions are expected to reach solid ground with the stabilizing help of Dragon's SuperDraco engines.
"We will see if this works," SpaceX CEO and founder Elon Musk said when announcing Grasshopper. "And if it does work, it'll be pretty huge."
SpaceX's reusable Grasshopper rocket prototype rises skyward from its McGregor, Texas launch pad during a June 14, 2013 test flight that reached 1,066 feet (325 meters) before descending back to Earth. This still was taken from a video recorded by a small unmanned hexacopter.

The six-foot flight
The first test flight of the rocket took place Sept. 21, 2012, when Grasshopper made a quick six-foot (1.8-meter) jump up and down at SpaceX's test facility in McGregor, Texas. With each subsequent flight, the company then tried to shoot a bit higher or do something different.
Over several test flights in 2013, Grasshopper demonstrated an ability to fight back against wind gusts, as well as to move sideways in the air to its target. It also flew several hundred feet high on a few occasions. The company filmed the rocket flights from the air using autonomous aircraft, providing high-definition views that it uploaded to the Web for sharing.
Among Grasshopper's notable flights was a jump in April 2013 that saw the 10-story vehicle fly 820 feet (250 m) high. In June 2013, Grasshopper leaped 1,066 feet (325 m) and made a near-perfect landing. A subsequent flight test in August included a 100-foot lateral or sideways maneuver before the rocket touched down safely on the ground.
The program capped off Oct. 7, 2013, when the rocket flew 2,441 feet (744 m) into the air, making a flawless takeoff and landing in a flight that lasted about 79 seconds. SpaceX then decided to retire the prototype in favor of using the personnel and money for other programs, notably the Falcon 9 rocket.
On April 18, 2014, SpaceX made a world-first controlled splashdown of the first stage of a Falcon 9, during a Dragon spacecraft resupply run to the International Space Station.
After several water landings, SpaceX tried to make a world-first attempt for a barge landing in January 2015 during a cargo flight to the International Space Station. The first landing made it on target, but the rocket landed hard enough to damage some of the support equipment on the ship, according to Musk.
Another attempt was called off in February 2015 when on landing day, the barge was facing 3-meter waves (almost 10 feet) and also had a malfunction in one of its four thrusters, making it tough to stabilize the ship. SpaceX instead elected for a water landing, which it pulled off successfully.
SpaceX also made hard landings on the ship in rocket flights in April 2015 and January 2016. The first malfunction was partly traced to a problem with the control system, while the second failed because one of the landing legs did not latch. SpaceX did, however, land the rocket's first stage safely on land (near its launch site at the Kennedy Space Center) in a December 2015 flight.
Musk's ultimate goal is to establish a colony on Mars by bringing the cost of spaceflight down as much as he can. Launch costs are considered one of the toughest things to overcome, since it takes a lot of fuel and velocity for a rocket to fight against Earth's gravity to bring items into space.
