The Legendary Thunderbirds Might Inhabit the US Even Today

 

Each year, between 15,000 and 18,000 new animal species are being discovered all around the globe and are classified using the latest DNA tests. As it happens, extinct or even unknown creatures are still being found on Earth. So what happens when the legendary becomes the ordinary, or better said: what happens when creatures believed to be extinct come into the picture?

 

North American indigenous people often sculpted totems, told tales and also sang about the great Thunderbirds. These legendary creatures were depicted as large birds, capable of creating thunderstorms with the beating of their enormous wings that measured no less than 20 feet.

 

 

They were believed to reside on desolate mountain peaks and were the servants of the Great Spirit of the World. While these creatures were usually venerated, the indigenous people feared them because of their wrath and most of the time they were careful not to cross the Thunderbird’s path.

 

In the modern world, the Thunderbirds are associated with Pteranodon, a genus of Pterosaurs that included some of the largest known flying reptiles. Fossilized remains were discovered mostly in North America, more precisely in present day Kansas, Alabama, Nebraska, Wyoming and South Dakota.

 

But what’s the point if these timeworn birds have gone extinct millions of years ago? Well, as a matter of fact, they haven’t. For more than 200 years, inhabitants of the areas mentioned above have reported several incidents involving enormous birds with lizard-like features, very much alike the extinct Pterosaurs.

 

 

A bizarre photograph has surfaced in the 1950s that caused quite a stir in the U.S. It revealed an unknown event from the American Civil War in 1864 – Near the city of Vicksburg, a huge bird distinct from any known species at that time, was standing under the feet of six American soldiers equipped with rifled muskets.

 

It had a remarkable wing span, along with a prolonged beak and an unfamiliar head. Is it possible that this creature was indeed one of the famous Thunderbirds depicted by the American indigenous people?

 

 

Another report from July 25, 1977, highlighted an incident involving three children from Lawndale, Illinois. They told how two giant birds chased them until one of them grabbed their ten-year-old friend Marlon Lowe. The bird had long legs with distinguishable claws, and it managed to get hold of the boy and lift him up about two feet of the ground before he was released as a result of his struggle.

 

The local authorities were informed about this incident but didn’t pay too much attention until four-fingers footprints were discovered about half a mile from the area where the boys were chased.

 

 

Since our planet has a lot of unknown and inaccessible places, we find it likely that these creatures exist even today. We might consider the hypothesis of it going extinct, but because of its predatory features and imposing proportions, it’s hard to believe that it did not manage to survive.

 

Even though no recent reports of such birds have surfaced, the known cases along with a symbolism rooted into the Native American culture might prove that these legendary birds have surpassed the test of time and managed to preserve their species for millions of years.

 

 

If they are to be found remains once again an issue of time, but with all the technological progress this century, it’s likely that someday the magnificent Thunderbirds will be discovered, and hopefully the witnesses will live to tell about it.

L’univers est-il vivant?

Le bulbe de la Voie lactée observé par le télescope Hubble | Nasavia slate.fr

Article source: slate.fr

L’univers est-il d’une toute autre nature que celle purement physique que nous cherchons à comprendre? Sommes-nous des éléments infimes d’un ensemble «vivant» dont les éléments n’ont pas forcément conscience de l’existence.

Le scientifique Ethan Siegel tente de répondre à cette difficile question sur son blog publié par le magazine Forbes. Elle est formulée de la façon suivante: «sommes-nous les cellules du cerveau d’une créature bien plus importante, à une échelle planétaire, qui n’a pas conscience de son existence? Comment le savoir? Comment tester cette hypothèse?»

Il existe d’indéniables et troublantes analogies entre le vivant et le physique, entre l’infiniment petit et l’infiniment grand. Les atomes sont à l’image des systèmes solaires avec leurs électrons comme des planètes tournant autour d’un noyau comparable à une étoile. La structure à très grande échelle de l’univers et de ces galaxies n’est pas sans rappeler non plus les neurones du cerveau humain. Autre coïncidence remarquable, le très grand nombre d’étoiles dans une galaxie, de galaxies dans l’univers, d’atomes dans une cellule et de cellules dans un corps humain est compris entre 10 puissance 11 et 10 puissance 14. Des nombres qui sont comparables.

L’idée philosophique selon laquelle l’ensemble de l’univers est en fait une créature sensiblen’est pas nouvelle. Et il est presque impossible d’y répondre. Tout simplement et pour commencer parce que nous ne savons pas exactement ce qu’est la conscience d’exister. Nos connaissances sont avant tout celles, partielles, de la réalité physique de l’univers. A partir de cela, on peut essayer de construire un raisonnement sur ce que serait un univers vivant et voir si cela correspond à cette réalité physique.

«Nous savons les choses suivantes: quel est l’âge de l’univers, combien de temps il faut pour que les différents éléments qui le compose envoient et reçoivent des signaux les uns des autres et quelle est la taille des structures gravitationnelles les plus importantes… Si nous faisons ces différents calculs et les comparons avec ce qu’il se passe même dans la plus simple des structures cérébrales, nous pouvons apporter une réponse partielle à la question de savoir s’il existe des structures sensibles à une échelle cosmique quelque part dans l’univers», écrit Ethan Siegel.

L’univers existe depuis 13,8 milliards d’années depuis le Big Bang et il est en expansion à un rythme rapide. Cela est cohérent avec l’hypothèse selon laquelle cet univers est composé de 68% d’énergie noire, 27% de matière noire, 4,9% de matière «normale», 0,1% de neutrinos et 0,01% de photons.

Comme la lumière se déplace à une vitesse constante dans cet univers, la plus rapide possible, nous pouvons déterminer combien il existe de différentes «communications» entre deux objets pris dans cette expansion. Le premier grand problème c’est l’expansion. Si nous envoyons aujourd’hui des signaux à la vitesse de la lumière, nous ne serons capables que de toucher 3% des galaxies de l’univers observable, le reste est inatteignable compte tenu de la vitesse à laquelle nous nous éloignons les uns des autres.

Les communications sont évidemment beaucoup plus faciles au sein de notre groupe local de galaxies avec la Voie Lactée, Andromède, la galaxie Triangulum et une cinquantaine d’autres plus petites. Elles vont peut-être, sans doute, fusionner pour former une structure plus massive de centaines de milliers d’années lumières au cours des prochains milliards d’année. De nombreux groupes et clusters de galaxies vont probablement connaître la même évolution.

Mais si nous comparons ces structures «locales» de l'univers avec le seul cerveau humain qui possède environ 100 milliards de neurones et 100 000 milliards de connections activées 200 fois par seconde par chaque neurone, il faudrait des milliers de milliards d’étoiles confinées dans un petit volume de l’espace pour avoir quelque chose de comparable. Ce n’est pas le cas.

Cela signifie que notre compréhension actuelle de la réalité physique de l’univers fait qu’il ne peut s’agir d’une entité vivante comparable à notre forme de vie et de conscience de nous même. Cela ne signifie pas que l’univers n’est pas vivant. Mais que cette forme d’existence, si elle existe, n’a tout simplement rien à voir avec la notre.

Everything Is Awesome About These New Lego Space Sets

Whether you love building model observatories or helping the Avengers save the universe, there's a Lego set that caters to your needs.

Recently, the brick-building giant released three new skywatching and space sets, which include a bunch of awesome features.

You can find the first, an observatory, in Lego's "Lakeside Lodge" ($29.99), a 3-in-1 set. The lodge version includes a campfire, balcony, stove, table, moose, frog and minifigure. It can be rebuilt into an observatory or a small cabin.

Fans of the Lego "Friends" line of products have a new addition as well: "Olivia's Exploration Car" ($14.99). Olivia and her robot, Zobo, plan to take their SUV to an observatory platform that is complete with a turning platform, telescope and sky map. The sky map even includes a magnifying glass for Olivia to get a better look at constellations when aiming the telescope.

Or if superheroes are more your style, you can ride along on the Avengers' "Avenjet Space Mission" ($59.99). An Avenjet is a vertical takeoff and landing shuttle that Iron Man created for the superhero team's field missions, according to the Marvel Avengers Wiki.

The mission includes three Avengers (Captain Marvel, Captain America and Iron Man) pitted against Thanos and Hyperion. Comics Alliance points out that Hyperion is usually a good guy,"but there are a few versions of that guy floating around the multiverse, so you can never be too sure. I guess?"

The products are available from the Lego website as well as stores where Lego is usually sold.

CIA JFK UFO Murder After Demanding The Release Of Top Secret Files (Video)

(Before It's News)

It has been claimed that CIA killed former US President John F Kennedy after requiring the agency to release top-secret UFO files.

Kennedy was shot dead while in an open-topped car travelling on November 22, 1963, through the centre of Dallas, Texas.

The incident brought shockwaves not just in the US but also around the world and has created dozens of conspiracy theories.

However, UFO experts recently shared perhaps the most astonishing claim to date. They said that the president made a letter and sent it to the CIA head ten days before he was assassinated.

They further revealed that the president also made a visit to NASA’s base at Cape Canaveral in Florida just four days after he sent the memo.

In the letter, JFK seemingly asks the CIA to give details about everything it knows about UFO sightings.

The letter specifically asks a review of the high threat cases. It stresses the important to have a clear distinction between the knowns and unknowns. It also proposes an arrangement of the program of data sharing with NASA where unknowns are a factor. The president also apparently sent a letter to NASA requesting the agency to cooperate with the Soviets on UFO issues.

UFO conspiracy theorists believe that JFK was worried that the Soviets could mistakenly identify UFOs over Russia as spy planes. They also think that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who makes a promise to release all UFO files to the public if she wins, does not know it yet, but she doesn’t have the power to release such information. They add that CIA would kill Hillary before she could do it, just like JFK. They believe that Hillary will be too scared to release the truth.

The 6 Alien Species Currently Fighting for Control Over Earth

Hundreds of sightings, abductions and first-hand accounts have made it possible to distinguish several distinct alien species that have been in cahoots with military forces, deciding our future without ever consulting us. Below are some of the least obscure ones we could find.

1. The Sirians

Hailing from the Sirius B star system, the Sirians are as advanced as they are ancient. Throughout history, they have imparted their knowledge to human civilizations of their choosing. They gifted the ancient Egyptians with medical and astronomical information and the great pyramids and temples are said to have been built with their help.

The Mayans also had a special relationship with the Sirians, who shared information with this enigmatic South American civilization. The extraterrestrials originating from Sirius B are believed to have played a part in the disappearance of the Maya. They are accredited with leaving behind amazing artifacts such as the crystal skulls.

Another earthly civilization that benefited from the Sirian presence were the Atlanteans; it is believed that during the cataclysmic event that sunk Atlantis, the Sirians were instrumental in leading the rescue operations. Other civilizations have been influenced by the Sirians, the most notable case being that of the Dogon tribe of West Africa.

Although they were more involved during our planet’s past, nowadays the Sirian’s supposedly play a more subtle role through technology exchange programs. They are often mentioned in connection with covert or exotic weapons research as well as time travel experimentation.

2. The Short Grays

Also known as the Zeta Reticulums, the Grays are some of the most well-known aliens. They are commonly depicted throughout alien pop culture and are the culprits of most alien abductions.

According to most descriptions, they stand 3 to 5 feet tall, have bulbous heads and over-sized black eyes. Although they possess a mouth, they seldom speak, as most communication is carried out telepathically. The short Grays are said to be a genetically-engineered worker race that are controlled by their superiors, the Tall Grays. Their telepathic abilities allow them to constitute a type of hive mind consciousness.

Being genetically-designed to carried out scientific missions, the short Grays are emotionless and cruel. They are alo responsible for creating a human-gray hybrid race.

3. The Tall Grays

Standing 7 to 8 feet tall, hairless, and pale, the Gray Masters are the ambassadors of most meetings between human and alien forces. They represent both human and gray biological material combined, and therefore play a lead role in assisting the Short Grays with interacting with humanity. This species is involved in many genetic experiments, and there has now been a hybrid human-Gray race created, containing mind control and diplomatic agreements with the ‘shadow government,’ to which they represent. Sources claim they originate from a star system in the Orion constellation.

The Tall Grays supervise all abductions and human experiments but are seldom present during these events. They prefer to employ the services of their minions, the Short Grays. As it would seem, they are keen on developing a stable human-gray hybrid race, one worthy of inheriting Earth.

An advanced, self-centered race, they place little value on human life. They consider us their property.

4. The Alpha-Draconians

Corrupt and vicious, the Alpha-Draconians infiltrated human society thousands of years ago, and are the oldest known reptilian race in our galaxy. Although they came to Earth from their colonies on Alpha Draconis, their original home world is unknown.

They lay eggs and use a “battle hormone” to accelerate the birthing process. They are a duality. This is why ancestral females do not participate in war, because if they did, there wouldn’t be anybody there to help with the eggs. They also have to be there to secrete their hormone. I am only sharing with you what I know about them through years of research.

A decidedly giant reptilian species, they measure anywhere from 14 to 22 feet tall and weigh an estimated 1,800 pounds of mostly muscle. They can be compared to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. These Alpha-Draconians have black leathery brown scale bellies, whiskers along their chin and jaw line and have multiple abdomens. They are an intelligent race with large heads and reptilian eyes. Some accounts describe them as having tails or even wings and they are, in fact, the only genetic line of their ancestry that is not extinct.

Contactee Alex Collier says he was allowed to share some details about these extraterrestrials:

The Draconians are the force behind the repression of human populations everywhere in this galaxy, instilling fear-based belief systems and restrictive hierarchies.

[…]they’re extremely clairvoyant and extremely clever, and they can also be extremely sinister.”

The Draconians view themselves as the first intelligent species to evolve in the Milky Way galaxy. Competitive and expansive, they have populated many worlds. Their immense egos allows them to see themselves as the rightful rulers of lesser evolved worlds such as Earth.

Their continuous exploitation of the human race proves they consider us an inferior species.

Reports say there are actually two types of Alpha-Draconians divided into two castes: the giant ones are part of a royal caste called the Ciakar while the smaller ones (8 feet tall) form a well-trained warrior class.

5. The Native Reptilians

Often confused with the warrior caste of the Alpha Draconians, these reptilians are said to be native to Earth. Typically, Reptilians are described as being 6 to 8 feet tall, bipedal, with green scaly skin, body odor and large eyes with a vertical pupil. The little information available for this species states that they were originally left behind by the Alpha-Draconians to colonize Earth.

Their interaction with mankind goes back thousands of years, sometimes offering assistance but more often than not using us as a commodity. They have infiltrated almost all aspects of human life and hold positions of power. Several ancient peoples all over the world have described reptilian beings, acting hostile towards human beings. Common Reptilians manipulate our elites and rule our institutions and organizations. They built our current financial system and influence all religions.

The underground reptilian race is also said to control the media and all corporations. They are behind most crimes against humanity.

6. The Anunnaki

According to scientists, there is a 12th planet in our solar system (known as the possible ‘Planet X’). They refer to this planet as Nibiru, which is located somewhere beyond Pluto. This planet, unlike any other planet in our solar system, has an elliptical orbit and moves clockwise rather than counterclockwise. It is said that the collision of Nibiru and another planet in our solar system (Maldek) was what created Earth.

This planet is inhabited by the Anunnaki, who landed on Earth, and originally colonized it. They first came with the intention of mining Earth for gold and other minerals, and live a kind of idealistic society in a small colony. Before heading to Earth, the Anunnaki colonized the planets in the Orion star system.

In need of a workforce, they are said to have created mankind. Through genetic manipulation and in vitro fertilization, they upgraded the genus Homo to sapiens quality. Present on Earth since our inception, the Anunnaki have influenced every aspect of human life. We’ve inherited their patriarchal culture of violence and vengeance, it’s in our engineered DNA.

The Anunnaki are in direct competition with the Draconians for control over mankind.

How to Get Abducted by Aliens

If you are interested in getting abducted by aliens, there are some things that you need to know. You can be sure that extraterrestrial types are not going to simply travel billions of light-years just to abduct the average person. Certain people are more likely to get abducted than others, and you may or may not fall into the popular categories. Not only do they need a good reason to choose you, but you have to be at the right place at the right time.

• People most likely to be abducted
• Others who may be abducted
• Places to get abducted
• Waiting to be taken up

People most likely to be abducted

There are certain types of people that are seemingly more attractive to aliens than others. For example, young children are more likely to be taken away than elderly people. Why is that? Here are some of the main reasons:

• Children may be more willing to cooperate.
• The developmental stages of the human race are fascinating.
• They have enough time in their expected life span left for tracking and monitoring post-abduction.
• Young tissue is more expendable.

Children are far from the only type of person that is likely to get abducted. Teenagers are also an attractive group. That is because:

• Many teens tend to have a desire to detach themselves from their parents.
• Post-abduction tracking and monitoring is exceptionally entertaining during high school years.
• Teenagers can provide interesting psychiatric variants, as this group tends to be extremely experimental (drugs, sex, alcohol, friendships, dangerous/risky stunt-like activities)

Others who may be abducted

If you are beyond these age groups and are interested in being abducted, fear not. There are certain groups that, regardless of age, aliens would be extremely eager to study. These groups include:

• Poets
• Musicians
• Mathematicians
• Video gamers
• Collectors of rare items
• Smokers (of any kind)
• College professors
• Politicians

This is by no means a definitive list. If you still do not fall into one or more of these categories, there are certain places where you will be most likely to get picked up by aliens. Sometimes, simply by being in the right place at the right time, the average adult is abducted. Please take note of the areas and times of day that extraterrestrials are likely to snatch you.

Places to get abducted

Dark areas. Aliens love to hover over unsuspecting humans flashing their bright scanners. Any area with too much sunlight would ruin the cool effect of their beam. Plus, aliens are rather shy when they are people-picking, and would rather not be caught. For this reason, busy cities are the least likely of places to get abducted.

The most prime locations for human selection are large forests, the open countryside, mountaintops, deep and vast canyons, and deserts. While many of these places can have a significant amount of sunlight during the day, nightfall creates the perfect environment for abduction. A general guideline when seeking out a place to wait for them to come for you is the stars. The more stars you can see in the sky, the more likely you are in an attractive area. Depending on your location, the darkest time of night will vary.

Generally, you shouldn't expect any noticeable activity from a spaceship until between the hours of midnight and 4 am.

Waiting to be taken up

First of all, when you go to a dark location, as described earlier, bring a flashlight. If you injure yourself, it could weaken your appeal. It is more time efficient not to have to repair a human subject before studying it. Bring something to eat as well, because there is no way to be sure when they will show up, if at all.

Another tip is not to go alone. A choice of various humans is preferred over a single human staring at the stars with his or her arms open. You should sit, lie or stand at least one foot apart from each other so that they are not forced to take two or more if they are only looking for one person at the time. (The cruel experiments are always done on the 'extra' one.) Each person in your party should understand that they too could be abducted, and should be prepared.

Don't look too anxious to get taken away. Be yourself, and don't wear an alien costume or bring any glitter-filled signs asking to be taken. Costumes are rather insulting since you have no idea what they really look like, and you should respect their right to choose. 
When you get to your location, just pass the time in any way that you choose. If you are idle, the aliens may assume that you are expecting them, and will not take you or alert you to their presence in any way. All abductees are at least seemingly unsuspecting.

Should you notice a bright light, a beam or some type of glowing coming from above, run. Aliens love the thrill of the chase. Put up a fight, and act like you don't want to go with them. This alone makes you an attractive candidate.

If you consider this advice, you have a good chance of being abducted. There is however, no guarantee. Good luck to you.

NASA: Man in India niet omgekomen door meteoriet

 Door: redactie - Bron: AD.nl

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.

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.

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

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.

Staggering picture of extra-terrestrial organism is PROOF of alien life, scientists claim

THIS is the first image ever seen of a mysterious extra-terrestrial “organism” which scientists claim is latest proof aliens exist.

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.

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 find earlier this summer follows the discovery of the dragon particle and ghost particlelast year and the strange seed-like organism which baffled scientists this spring.

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.

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.

“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.”

Is there any evidence that aliens visited our planet?

1. IS THIS QUESTION HYPOTHETICALLY ?

Steve McKerracher, Skeptic activist in the faith vs reason culture war.

In this question Hypothetically, if there is intelligent alien life, with the knowledge and means to traverse space and travel to Earth, what would be their reasons for not making contact? (Please read details.)
the first answer Javed talks about the age of the universe, and how another civilization could conceivably have BILLIONS of years head start on us.

But it could be even worse.

I unfortunately, am not a physicist, but I was also fascinated by this article 
It's not the Big Bang; it's the Big Ongoing by Mike Cavedon on Posts

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...........

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.
