Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

Verder heb je ook het Belgisch-Ufo-meldpunt en Caelestia, die prachtig, doch ZEER kritisch werk leveren, ja soms zelfs héél sceptisch... Voor Nederland kan je de mooie site www.ufowijzer.nl bezoeken van Paul Harmans. Een mooie site met veel informatie en artikels. MUFON of het Mutual UFO Network Inc is een Amerikaanse UFO-vereniging met afdelingen in alle USA-staten en diverse landen. MUFON's mission is the analytical and scientific investigation of the UFO- Phenomenon for the benefit of humanity... Je kan ook hun site bekijken onder www.mufon.com. Ze geven een maandelijks tijdschrift uit, namelijk The MUFON UFO-Journal. Since 02/01/2020 is Pieter ex-president (=voorzitter) of BUFON, but also ex-National Director MUFON / Flanders and the Netherlands. We work together with the French MUFON Reseau MUFON/EUROP. ER IS EEN NIEUWE GROEPERING DIE ZICH BUFON NOEMT, MAAR DIE HEBBEN NIETS MET ONZE GROEP TE MAKEN. DEZE COLLEGA'S GEBRUIKEN DE NAAM BUFON VOOR HUN SITE... 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...

    Are Phantom Helicopters Real?

    Gepubliceerd op 20 feb. 2016

    For decades, U.S. citizens have reported seeing mysterious helicopters near sites of strange crimes and alien encounters. The government denies these stories are true. Are the phantom helicopters real? And if they are, whom do they serve?

    NASA'S NEW WFIRST TELESCOPE TO UNRAVEL DARK ENERGY, ALIEN LIFE

    In a fresh attempt to unlock the secrets of the universe, NASA has announced to build a new, wider telescope that will have a view 100 times bigger than that of Hubble Space Telescope. 
     
    Called the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), it will help researchers unravel the secrets of dark energy and dark matter and explore the evolution of the universe.
     
     Slated to be launched in the mid-2020s, the observatory will also discover new worlds outside our solar system and advance the search for worlds that could be suitable for life. 
     
    WFIRST is the agency's next major astrophysics observatory, following the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope in 2018.
     
     "WFIRST has the potential to open our eyes to the wonders of the universe, much the same way Hubble has," said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington, DC. 
     
    "This mission uniquely combines the ability to discover and characterise planets beyond our own solar system with the sensitivity and optics to look wide and deep into the universe in a quest to unravel the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter," he explained in a statement. 
     
    The observatory will survey large regions of the sky in near-infrared light to answer fundamental questions about the structure and evolution of the universe and expand our knowledge of planets beyond our solar system - known as exoplanets. 
     
    It will carry a Wide Field Instrument for surveys, and a Coronagraph Instrument designed to block the glare of individual stars and reveal the faint light of planets orbiting around them. 
     
    By blocking the light of the host star, the Coronagraph Instrument will enable detailed measurements of the chemical makeup of planetary atmospheres. 
     
    Comparing these data across many worlds will allow scientists to better understand the origin and physics of these atmospheres, and search for chemical signs of environments suitable for life.
     
     "WFIRST is designed to address science areas identified as top priorities by the astronomical community," added Paul Hertz, director of NASA's astrophysics division. 
     
    The telescope's sensitivity and wide view will enable a large-scale search for exoplanets by monitoring the brightness of millions of stars in the crowded central region of our galaxy. 
     
    By measuring the distances of thousands of supernovae, astronomers can map in detail how cosmic expansion has increased with time. 
     
    WFIRST also can precisely measure the shapes, positions and distances of millions of galaxies to track the distribution and growth of cosmic structures, including galaxy clusters and the dark matter accompanying them. 
     
    The observatory will begin operations after travelling to a gravitational balance point known as "Earth-Sun L2" which is located about one million miles from Earth in a direction directly opposite the Sun, NASA said

    Supposedly this is where NASA found the abandoned alien base that was still in working order and then they stationed 1000 US Marines on it, or so the story goes from the info that computer hacker Gary McKinnon has stated in interviews.
     
    If this is true and this dome over the crater is the base, then these photos in this video I am posting today may be the first ever photos of the city of “Luna” as its been called in the past.

    The secrets of the solar system hidden under Antarctica

    According to researchers, the secrets of our solar system could be answered by looking at the Icy continent of Antarctica
     
    Researchers have discovered extremely well-preserved asteroids hiding under just 10 centimeters of ice. Scientists believe that due to the heating of the Sun, space rocks might have melted the ice and sank.
     
    Hundreds of iron-rich meteorites which are believed to hold the ultimate answer to the secret of our solar system have been located beneath the surface of Antarctica’s ice sheet. Scientists state that the enigmatic space rocks are located between 10 and 15 centimeters below the surface, saying that iron-rich meteorites are ‘tantalizingly close’.
     
    The study published by researchers from the University of Manchester in Nature Communications last week, states that the vast majority of space rocks are located between 10 and 50 centimeters from the surface, which would allow researchers to get to them without much hassle.
     
    Meteorites fall all over the planet but most of them are collected in Antarctica due to color contrast, between the white color of the ice and black color of meteorites makes them much easier to spot.
     
    Dr. Geoff Evatt and his team suggest that meteorites are missing because of the Sun’s rays penetrating the clear ice and warming iron-rich space rocks more than those which are not made of metals.
     
    Dr. Evatt states that Such warming melts the ice surrounding them, causing it to sink and offset all annual ice ‘upwelling’ – which permanently traps the meteorites just below the surface.
     
    In the study, scientists state: 
    Under our hypothesis, sinking (relative to the upwelling ice) of englacial meteorites in an Antarctic MSZ will be seasonally dependent. In the winter months, with little-to-no solar radiation, sinking will not be possible, and so all classes of englacial meteorites can be expected to rise with the speed of the ice (whose surface is still ablating due to scouring by the strong winter katabatic winds12). Conversely, in the long daylight hours of the summer months, solar warming will enable susceptible meteorites to have a local rate of melting that offsets the upwelling process, and hence, for certain meteorite classes, sinking relative to the ice surface can (re)commence.
     
    The important characteristics of these meteorites are that they invariably originated from deep inside larger planetary bodies which eventually broke apart in the distant past of the history of our solar system. This is why finding, retrieving and analyzing them, might help scientists understand more about where they come from and when they were formed.
     
    Dr. Evatt said: “With the strong possibility that a hidden reserve of meteorites lies just below the ice surface of localized areas of Antarctica, finding conclusive evidence of its existence is imperative to our understanding of the solar system’s formation.
     
    “The challenge is now set: to be the first team to locate this reserve of meteorites and retrieve samples from it.”
     
    The team of scientists was able to combine laboratory experiments with mathematical bodies to demonstrate that typical hawing and freezing processes will cancel out the upward transportation of meteorites with high thermal conductivity – such as those containing iron, allowing those with lower conductivities to emerge from the ice

    UK TO DISCLOSE THEIR TOP SECRET UFO FILES IN MARCH THIS YEAR

    For years, scientists have refused to reveal the truth behind unexplained UFO mysteries. This has baffled us and speculations about whether the extraterrestrial life really exists or not just gets murkier day by day.
     
     According to reports, the UK government is all set to release shocking evidence of alien contact, when 18 classified files will be released in March 2016. 
     
    However, the British government also stated that they may not make these files public as they contain 'sensitive material'. 
     
    It has been claimed by former government employees that at least two of these files contain clear evidence of UFO landings and alien contact. 
     
    The UK government had in 2005, admitted to conduct a thorough 30-year long scientific study into UFOs, after years of denial. 
     
    It looks like much of their material is related to the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) and the implications of alien contact.
     
     Meanwhile, the US president Barack Obama is assumed to be having a clear idea about the UFO phenomenon, but like his predecesors, he fails to reveal the secret documents pertaining to the alien. 
     
    But now, experts are of the view that this may change before March this year, amidst reports of the UK planning to reveal some shocking revelations about the UFO. 
     
    The US space agency NASA, has been accused of hiding the extraterrestrial life although it is aware of the alien activity. 
     
    Even as scientists suspect extraterrestrial life to exist, there is no unambiguous evidence for its existence so far. 
     
    The point here is - Will they or won't they now reveal the truth? Let's hope for the best as we keep our fingers crossed for the big event

    Dashcam Captured Close Fireball Over Euless, Texas & Upcoming Celestial Events March 2016 (Video)

    (Before It's News)

    Another fireball sighting, this time the witness, while driving at the right moment on 183 Westbound in the Euless area, captured with his dashcam a close meteor flying over Texas on February 18, 2016.

    The increase in fireballs is really disturbing as fireballs sightings are now reported almost daily throughout the world and with this new sighting over Texas, yet the report of the Fireball over southern France yesterday, one has to wonder what is really happening. 

    B4INREMOTE-aHR0cHM6Ly8xLmJwLmJsb2dzcG90LmNvbS8tUWl6Z0VRd3ZhZkUvVnNhZ1BUTFhIMEkvQUFBQUFBQUFQQ0EvS3U1TmMyd2lkRjgvczY0MC9maXJlYmFsbCUyQm1ldGVvciUyQm1ldGVvcml0ZSUyQmNvbWV0JTJCYXN0ZXJvaWQuanBn

    What is causing this phenomenon? Is a debris field moving in our direction?

    Besides the exceptional increase in fireballs, March turns out to be the month of great celestial events in 2016.

    Comets:

    Twin Comets Headed for close approaches to Earth Record-Breaking Comet Flyby March 2016.

    On March 21 the comet 252P/LINEAR 12 will make its closest approach yet, passing just 3.1 million miles (5.3 million km).

    Comet P/2016 BA14 (PANSTARRS) is set to pass by Earth at a distance of 2.1 million miles (3.5 million km).This is a record-breaking approach to Earth for a comet!

    Comet’s P/2016 BA14 (PANSTARRS) passage will be the closest known comet flyby of the last 230 hundred years. Comet P/2016 BA14 (PANSTARRS) was discovered by the Pan-STARRS survey on 2016 Jan 22.

    Supermoon and Total Eclipse of the Sun:

    The moon turns new on March 8 or 9, 2016, depending on your time zone, the so-called Supermoon will line up with the sun to create a larger-than-average effect on Earth’s oceans.

    The first Supermoon of 2016 coincides with the first eclipse of the year, a total eclipse of the sun on March 8-9, 2016.

    The total solar eclipse will be visible from Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi and from locations in the Pacific ocean.

    Supermoon coincides with Total Solar Eclipse and TX68 earth flyby.

    Asteroid:

    On March 8th a space rock is set to pass extremely close to our planet for comfort. Asteroid TX68 may skim past Earth’s surface at just 19000 miles (30000 km).The asteroid is approximately twice as large as the Chelyabinsk meteor.

    March 8th is the 68th day of 2016.
    TX68 Earth flyby.

    NASA confirms Asteroid’s (TX68) Trajectory is ‘Highly Uncertain’.

    Astronomers say the asteroid 2013 TX68 may pass by Earth on March 8 at 00:06 UTC (March 7 at 7:06 pm ET), the time uncertainty is 2 days, which means the space rock may be passing by our planet sometime between the evenings of March 5 and 9.

    Latest estimates say the asteroid will pass no closer than 19,000 miles (30,000 km). Even if it passes in this distance the flyby would still be even closer than orbiting communication satellites.

    Meanwhile NASA has changed its condition from code 7 to Code 8 (highly uncertain).

    Condition code is defined as, “orbit uncertainty estimate 0-9, with 0 being good, and 9 being highly uncertain”.

    This particular UFO footage is perhaps the most solid evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence.

    Australia’s Area 51 Top Secret Facility

    (Before It's News)


    ARTICLE PINE GAP
    AUSTRALIA’S AREA 51 TOP SECRET FACILITY
     
    Researcher Warren Aston has just released details of an amazing UFO cover-up attempted by U.S military personnel based at the top-secret underground Pine Gap base in Australia. 
    Details have now been released of how two Australian policemen unwittingly foiled an attempt by two U.S military personal to cover-up UFO activity over the nearby town of Alice Springs.  Many Alice Springs residents reported fast-moving lights flying over the central Australian town on the evening of 26th November 1996. Police were numbered among those making reports of the strangely maneuvering lights.  At least one video of the object was captured by a policeman and is now undergoing analysis in the U.S. 
    A little over an hour later that same evening, two policemen on patrol (who have requested anonymity) witnessed a number of hot-air balloons slowly bobbing over the town. At the same time a call came in asking them to investigate suspicious activity by a car on an isolated back road in the dessert east of the town. Suspecting a link with the balloons over the town, the two officers sped off and they quickly apprehended a station wagon full of plastic hot air balloons in various stages of construction, including one on the side of the road ready to be sent aloft.  The two men in the vehicle had North American accents and at first refused to answer question, but when threatened with arrest they reluctantly produced ID cards identifying them as personal from the massive super-secret Pine Gap facility located nearby.
    Under agreement between the Australian and US Governments, personal at this American-run base is virtually immune from legal action. Eventually the men, claiming to be merely a geologist and an engineer, were allowed to drive off into the darkness, leaving behind many unanswered questions.  Why would staff from a secret American base in Australia be involved in setting off hot air balloons outside a nearby town? . Clearly, they were attempting to confuse the UFO sightings made earlier that evening. Where they then going to claim that these reports were only hot air balloons? And if so, as seems likely, WHY?  Pine Gap base, hidden in the remote and geologically stable Australian about back, has long been linked to covert U.S military/ Intelligence activity concerning recovered Alien craft and secretly developed military programs.
    Among other things, Pine Gap has been linked with white disc’s seen flying from hidden access points on the base, and with the beams of “energy” fired into space which caused a fast moving UFO to reverse it’s course in full view of the shuttle Discovery’s cameras in 1991. This latest development will do nothing to quell the growing suspicion that PINE GAP is crucial, perhaps even central, to these covert efforts.

    Mother Claims To Have Captured Real Flying Saucer

    bristol-ufo-2016

    Fiona Powell, a 41-year-old mother, claims to have captured a flying saucer. Her photo shows a classic UFO hovering over Bristol’s area. According to her testimony, she was walking along the promenade on Severn Beach, near the city center, when she was amazed by the view of the clouds. She then decided to capture it on camera.

    She noticed nothing strange when she took the photo. However, after several hours, he looked back at the image and spotted the unexpected, but a familiar object. A picture seems to show a dome-shaped aerial object with a thin rim around the middle.

    The witness is still undecided whether to believe in aliens or not, but she finds her photo indeed meets the requirements of a UFO.

    Her friend zoomed in the image, and it looked like a UFO even more. She also showed the picture to some of her wise friends, and they too were amazed of the capture.

    However, the realistic thing of the picture makes some observers think it may have tampered. They say that the mother or someone related to her tempered it with Adobe Photoshop.
    Others are convinced it could have been from a smartphone application, designed to add a realistic UFO in digital photos.

    Some believe it is a good capture, but the image could have been a bird or jet in flight. They say it is a seagull or a fighter plane from an odd angle.

    Meanwhile, believers say that it is real and people just having a hard time to accept the concept that there may be alien life. As they say, concept is more tangible than any religion.

    A UFO was seen flying slowly through the skies in several cities and towns near Lake Baikal in Siberia. People in these areas posted videos and photos online to support their accounts.

    Many witnesses are coming from residents in Irkutsk region. They say the UFO has a resemblance of a meteorite but appears to be much brighter and moves too slowly.

    Senior research scientist at Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Sergei Yazev, gives his take about the video after watching it. He rules out the possibility of it to be a comet because of its extremely slow velocity.

    Yazev adds that it is not also a spent rocket stage as the speed when it falls would still be much greater.

    Several different people reportedly spotted mysterious craft with some witnesses captured the event on their cameras.

    In one of the videos, a cluster of mysterious bright objects appears to float in the sky over Kent.  It has since sparked UFO rumours among sky observers.

    Jake Harvey recorded the video and uploaded it to Twitter. The footage apparently shows the sky over Folkestone.

    The strange aerial things were also spotted in nearby Hythe.

    Many online viewers have suggested they were flares from military ranges nearby at Hythe and Lydd.

    However, MOD confirmed that no activity in there at the time of sightings. Kent Unidentified Flying Objects Research Group spokesman issued a statement saying that the coastlines in East Kent and South Kent are known as UFO hotbeds.

    The spokesman further said that towns in these areas have a big number of UFO sightings on the seemingly constant basis. People are reporting UFO sightings over the Thames Estuary and the English Channel continually. The spokesman added that reported UFO sightings have increased dramatically over the years.

    Thousands of people have come to Capilla del Monte in Argentina to take part of the annual international alien festival. The weekend festival in Cordoba province includes alien costume contests, a parade of neon lights with famous characters from Star Wars movie, and alien-related shops.

    argentina-ufo-festival-2016

    Workshops regarding extraterrestrial stuff are held near a local hill that is believed to be the place where UFO sighting reportedly took place 30 years ago. The strange event, according to general belief, left a huge burning mark on the grass of the hill. It also helps flourish the alien tourism of the town.

    A visitor from Chile, Leonardo Fuentes, thinks people come in this place not just for tourism, but more about the energy and all that can be seen.

    The festival, which is now in its fourth year, has become famous among tourists, especially alien enthusiasts worldwide because of the infamous UFO sighting three decades ago in the area.

    One of the visited sites during the weekend is the Uritorco hill, known as the country’s magic mountain. Many people believe that there’s a presence of energy in the place credited for UFO sightings. Others also believe that it is a door to other dimensions.

    Scientists Find Largest Rocky Planet Ever Discovered, Half as Big as Neptune

    IN BRIEF

    Kepler has discovered a rocky planet bigger than scientists ever thought was possible. Studying BD+20594b will allow scientists to learn more about the way planets form.

    The Kepler Spacecraft, which has the ability to observe distant solar systems, has discovered arocky planet bigger than scientists ever thought was possible. Meet BD+20594b.

    ROCKY COMPETITION

    The former title holder of “biggest rocky planet” went to Kepler-10c, which has a radius more than double that of Earth. We thought this was as big as rocky planets could get.

    Most of our understanding of planetary formation and solar system development has come from direct observation of our own Solar System. We simply couldn’t see any others, and we had no way of knowing how typical—or how strange—our own Solar System might be.

    With the discovery of BD+20594b, though, we’re learning, and Kepler-10c has some intense competition. The new planet is about 16 times as massive as Earth and half the diameter of Neptune. Its density is about 8 grams per cubic centimeter (for comparison, Earth is 5.514 g/cm). This is rather dense, but it makes sense, as it’s composed entirely of rock. 

    The planet, whose existence was reported on January 28 at arXiv.org by astrophysicist Nestor Espinoza and his colleagues at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in Santiago, is over 500 light years away, in the constellation Aries. The planet was discovered last year, as it passed between Kepler and its host star. Luckily, the planet’s host star is exceptionally bright, allowing a more detailed observation than most exoplanets.

    THE IMPORTANCE OF BD+20594B AND KEPLER

    The discovery and further study of BD+20594b is important for a couple of reasons. It shows that there is still so much to learn about planetary formation. Kepler’s mission, which started off just confirming the existence of exoplanets, and showing us how common they are, will play a key role in furthering that research.

    In addition, there’s much more variety in planetary composition than just what we see in our own solar system. Now that we have this new planet to compare to Kepler-10c, astrophysicists can do further research on planetary formation theories.

    The CIA Has a Secret Time Travel Program, but They Won’t Let Us Know About It

    Portals are found in many books, movies and video games. Some of them are links between distant places, others travel back or forward in time, and the most powerful ones lead into different dimensions. Most people presume that these gateways exist only in the realm of science fiction, but there are some who strongly support the idea that portals have been opened in ancient times and quite possibly in the present days as well.
     
     According to two National Security US Informants, the Department of Defense developed time travel technology over 45 years ago. As early as 1967, the US government possessed a fully operational time travel machinery built on the quantum access researched by Tesla. This technology has been used in order to cloak military facilities, as well as provide political and economic advantages by way of knowing what the future holds. Some claim the CIA seized Tesla’s papers on teleportation shortly after his death.
     
     
    One of these two National Informants, Michael Relfe, is a former member of the US armed forces who claimed he was a member of a top-secret US operation. Recruited in 1976, he spent the next 20 years adjusting and expanding one of the two US colonies on Mars. Those bases served as strategic high intelligence research point, and in order to preserve their secrecy, they were built in the future.
     
    Relfe said that after serving 20 years on the Martian colony, he was age-reversed and cast back in time. He claimed that this was the usual procedure and that staff members would usually have some memories blocked or erased before being discharged.
     
    Dr. Andrew D. Basiago was a participant in DARPA’s Project Pegasus (1968-1972) that focused on time travel in the time-space hologram. He knew that the CIA was actively training groups of gifted American schoolchildren to become the first generation of time-and-space explorers.
     
    Children were better suited for this mission for several ominous reasons. First of all, they were considered ideal candidates due to their clear minds and lack of impressions or experience. The US government wanted to know if time travel had any side effects over younger bodies and minds. The adult volunteers usually became insane after several journeys, but fortunately children had a different brain constitution that could shield them during such a trip.
     
     
    Another use for quantum technology was found in political manipulation. According to Dr. Basiago, future persons of interest would be notified early about the roles they were to play in the future. He said that in the early 1970’s in Albuquerque, New Mexico he was present at the table with George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush when they were informed about their future presidencies.
     
    Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were also paid visits from time travelers, and it’s rumored that in 1982, President Obama had been approached while still a student at UCLA. To back-up this claim, there are numerous witness accounts from people who attended college with Obama and can attest that he would often return from parties and then claim that he would be the future President of The United States. Could this be a coincidence, or is the conspiracy theory really getting true?
     
    Basiago claims that in 1971 he saw images from the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. They had been obtained from the future and brought back for analysis. This implies that the US government knew about 9/11 three decades in advance.
     
    If we are to believe the informants and those who support them, this technology is kept secret despite being funded by the general public. They say that people deserve to know what’s really going on, the truth about space exploration and the presence of earthlings on other nearby planets. Teleportation could solve transportation problems worldwide by transferring people and goods instantly.
     
    If their theories prove to be true, we’re missing out on some revolutionary insight and tremendous technological growth that has been denied to us although it exists for so many years. Are we really living in a big, fat lie?

    Secret Underwater Bases: Beyond Area 51

    Area 51 isn’t the only base filled with secrecy. As it turns out, there are countless underwater bases spread across different locations on our planet.
     
    While many of us know about Area 51 and Dulce Base, the truth is there are more secret bases than you could ever imagine. Three years ago the CIA finally admitted the existence of Area 51, but many people around the world already knew about it and the mystery and secrecy behind it. Area 51 is just one of the many out there, but interestingly, most secret bases aren’t constructed on land, but deep under the oceans.
     
    Creating underwater bases is probably much more efficient than creating them on land. For starters, it’s nearly impossible to find an underwater base, unless of course you know its location and have the equipment to get there.
     
    Research into the feasibility of underwater bases began nearly 50 years ago. In 1968, the Stanford Research Institute alone discussed the construction of dozens of undersea bases across the globe.
     
    The study entitled “Feasibility of Manned In-Botton Bases,” proposed a series of locations and plans to construct some of the most incredible underwater bases mankind had ever (not) seen.
     
    According to a study written by T G Warfield and L R Parkinson, from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In 1968:
     
    The construction of thirty manned in-bottom bases within the ocean floors is technically and economically feasible. However, it will be necessary to establish some successive types of experimental facilities before a full construction program can be started. This could take 15 years. The major technology for a land-linked station in bottom is established now; only adaptations are needed.
     
    The remaining experimental phases will require further development of equipment and techniques applicable to remote sea access. There are useful assignments for a succession of three experimental stations other than advancing in-bottom construction techniques. Science and engineering concerned with the oceans and their resources will be furthered and military tests of undersea base functions complimenting deeper operations can be accomplished. The costs of the experimental phase, called here a demonstration program, can be surprisingly modest: approximately one-half billion dollars spent over 15 years. 
     
    A distinction between in-bottom bases and on-bottom facilities is made in the numbers of men enclosed.  and the depth of water, wherein areas of one-atmosphere space can be created in bottom, and on-bottom facilities are made in the numbers of men enclosed and the depth of water, wherein areas of one atmosphere space can be created in bottom at such low costs the ingress system can be amortized if the space required is reasonably large. Economics thus can dictate the choice between the two types; even so, some on bottom facilities will be needed to aid the construction of remote in-bottom facilities.
     
    Presently, establishing an in-bottom facility and building upon this will present fewer technical difficulties that do the submersibles which would support it and use it. Subsequent to the completion of the third phase of a demonstration program, which would be a remote, deepwater station, and the evaluation of it, a multiple base program, could be implemented.  The cost of such a base program would be about $2.7 billion for the construction of a number of bases (assumed at 30).
     
    Reading the above-mentioned study does not only bring up numerous questions that make us wonder how many bases exist in oceans around the world today, but who operates them? Do they belong the governments? Or are they independent ‘research’ facilities?
     
    interest in the creation of underwater bases continued after T G Warfield and L R Parkinson’s study in 1968. 19 years later, in 1987, Lloyd A. Duscha, the Deputy Director of Engineering and Construction for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spoke about the creation of such secret bases during an engineering conference called: “Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons.” Lloyd Duscha made a very important statement:
     
    After World War II, political and economic factors changed the underground construction picture and caused a renewed interest to “think underground.” As a result, of this interest, the Corps of Engineers became involved in the design and construction of some very complex and interesting military projects. Although the conference program indicates the topic to be “Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons,” I must deviate a little because several of the most interesting facilities that have been designed and constructed by the Corps are classified. (Lloyd A. Duscha, “Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons,” inTunneling and Underground Transport: Future Developments in Technology. Economics and Policy, ed. F.P. Davidson (New York: Elsevier Science Publishing Company, Inc., 1987, pp. 109-113.)
     
    The truth is that we will perhaps never now what exactly lies underneath our oceans, but we can almost say with certainty that secret underwater bases exist, and are not something new, they have existed for years, and will continue to operate in the distant future.

    Is The Moon an Alien Space Craft?

    In 1970 two Soviet scientists proposed that the moon is actually an alien spacecraft built by extraterrestrials with superior technology and intelligence to observe the Earth from afar. Much further out in history than this though, the African Zulu people of old believed the Moon to be hollow and the home base of the Python or Chitauri, or as some people call them the Reptilians, a race of intelligent aliens who are controlling the human race.
     
     The Spaceship Moon Theory was put forth by two members of the the Soviet Academy of Sciences, Alexander Shcherbakov and Michael Vasin in a an article entitled “Is the Moon the Creation of Alien Intelligence?” Vasin and Shcherbakov’s came to the conclusion that alien beings with technology far superior to anything known on Earth have been using the moon as a space station.
     
    The authors explain that the surface material of the moon is made up of different elements, which include chromium, titanium and zirconium, which are from the surface of the Earth. Furthermore they note that some rocks on the moon are actually older than the oldest rocks on Earth, which again suggests the moon is an alien space craft. They believe that the moon is made up of a rocky outer layer which is a few miles thick and beneath that there is a void, which is where the aliens can be found.
     
    Further out in history, African Zulu legends tell of the alien race called the Chitauri who brought the moon to Earth as a  vehicle to observe, manipulate and control the human race. The aliens two were known as the “water brothers” and had scaly skin, kind of like a fish. This tale is actually very similar to the ancient Mesopotamia and Sumerian accounts about the two brothers Enlil and Enki.
     
    It is claimed that there weren’t any seasons and the planet was engulfed by a peaceful mist. The Earth was breath taking in its magnificence  But once the Moon was put into place in the Earth’s orbit everything changed. Turmoil in the climate, such as that of the great flood and other major events began to take place.

    NASA dunked a Boeing CST-100 Starliner capsule to test its ability to perform an emergency water landing.

    The test, in a tank at the Langley Research Center, was designed to see how the commercial crew capsule would perform should it have to make a splashdown.

    The capsule is designed to land on solid ground, using airbags to cushion its landing. [NASA]

    Eutelsat says it remains committed to its customer broadband business despite selling a 50 percent stake in Ka-Sat to ViaSat. The company said Wednesday that a joint venture approach allows it to leverage skills in direct-to-consumer sales other companies have, an approach Eutelsat also plans to use in Africa. The satellite operator reported that revenues increased 7.1% for the six months ending Dec. 31 to nearly 775 million euros ($863 million). However, on a "like-for-like" basis, at constant currency and excluding non-recurring revenues, the increase was 1.5%. The increase, outgoing CEO Michel de Rosen said, was "in line" with company expectations, and that it was on track for revenue growth for the full fiscal year of two to three percent. [SpaceNews]

    ISRO plans to double its average launch rate to 12 a year in the next five years, a space agency official said Wednesday. YVN Krishna Murthy, ISRO's scientific secretary, said during the "Make in India" conference Wednesday that ISRO is also planning to launch its second lunar mission, Chandrayan 2, in 2017 or 2018, featuring a lander and a rover. ISRO's budget, Murthy said, should be about $1.1 billion this year, up from $0.9 billion last year. [PTI]

    Technicians have cleaned mold-contaminated cargo bags destined for the International Space Station. Crews disinfected all the cargo bags carrying equipment to be flown to the station next month after black mold was found on two of them. The source of the contamination isn't clear, but apparently is not the fault of Florida's humid climate: the mold was found in tests performed in Houston, before the bags were shipped to Florida, although the results of the tests weren't available until after the cargo was loaded in the Cygnus spacecraft. That decontamination work has delayed the launch of the Cygnus from March 10 to March 22. [Florida Today]

    Georgia legislators are making some modifications to a commercial space bill under consideration. The changes would remove a section that prohibits local officials from enforcing noise regulations against spaceport operators, and gives local residents and businesses a two-year period to file a "nuisance claim" after the first launch from a state spaceport. Other sections of the bill, including liability protections modeled on laws in other states, would remain in place. A hearing about the bill by the Georgia House's judiciary committee is tentatively scheduled for next week. [Camden County (Ga.) Tribune & Georgian]

    Want to get these briefings even earlier? Here's the signup.

    The FAA and the NTSB don't see eye-to-eye on some safety recommendations made after the SpaceShipTwo accident in 2014. The NTSB, in its final report last summer, recommended the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation assigned dedicated safety inspectors to individual operators. The FAA countered that, given its small workforce, its limited number of inspectors should be familiar with a range of launch systems. The NTSB said last month that the FAA's response was "unacceptable" because it describes a system similar to that in place prior to the accident. [Parabolic Arc]

    Astronomers have solved the case of the missing asteroids. In a paper published in the journal Nature, researchers said they believe why there is only about one-tenth as many asteroids orbiting close to the sun as models predict. They argued that thermal forces cause asteroids to break apart, either because of thermal stresses as they heat up or because they spin up due to solar radiation. [Los Angeles Times]

    NASA is looking to the long term with a Star Trek "replicator" competition for students. The competition, open to K-12 students, challenges them to create a digital 3-D model of a "non-edible, food-related item" that could be 3-D printed by an astronaut — in the year 2050. "We want students to 'boldly go where no one has gone before' with 3-D printing, by making designs that help astronauts eat nutritious meals so they can 'live long and prosper' in locations beyond the International Space Station," the contest website states. Submissions are due May 1. [SPACE.com]

    The deadline for submitting applications for the next round of astronaut selections is today. If you're looking for some last-minute advice, the satirical publication The Onion has you covered. It notes that astronaut requirements include "Fifty or more hours logged driving space shuttle around empty NASA parking lot," "Spotless interstellar criminal record," and, perhaps most importantly, "All candidates screened for their ability to procure $18 billion in funding each fiscal year." Good luck!

    Don Lincoln is a senior scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermilab, the United States' biggest Large Hadron Collider research institution. He also writes about science for the public, including his recent "The Large Hadron Collider: The Extraordinary Story of the Higgs Boson and Other Things That Will Blow Your Mind" (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2014). You can follow him on Facebook. The opinions here are his own. Lincoln contributed this article to Live Science's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.

    Cutting-edge science is an exploration of the unknown; an intellectual step into the frontier of human knowledge. Such studies provide great excitement for those of us passionate about understanding the world around us, but some are apprehensive of the unknown and wonder if new and powerful science, and the facilities where it is explored, could be dangerous. Some even go so far as to ask whether one of humanity's most ambitious research projects could even pose an existential threat to the Earth itself. So let's ask that question now and get it out of the way.

    But it's not really a silly question for people who haven't thought carefully about it. After all, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator, is explicitly an instrument of exploration, one that is designed to push back the frontiers of ignorance. It's not so unreasonable to ask how you know something isn't dangerous if you've never done it before. So how is it I can say with such utter confidence that the LHC is completely safe?

    Well, the short answer is that cosmic rays from space constantly pummel the Earth with energies that dwarf those of the LHC. Given that the Earth is still here, there can be no danger, or so the reasoning goes.

    And that could well be the final story, but the tale is much richer than that short (but very accurate) answer would lead you to believe. So let's dig a bit deeper into what makes some suspect a danger, and then explore a fairly detailed description of the point and counterpoint involved in delivering a solid and satisfying answer to the question.

    Skeptics have proposed that the LHC would produce many possible dangers, ranging from the vague fear of the unknown to some that are strangely specific.

    The most commonly mentioned is the idea that the LHC can make a black hole. In popular literature, black holes are ravening monstrosities of the universe, gobbling up everything around them. Given such a depiction, it's not at all unreasonable for people to then wonder if a black hole created by the LHC might reach out and destroy the accelerator, the laboratory, then Switzerland, Europe and finally the Earth. This would be a scary scenario, were it credible — but it's not.

    What immediately follows are the weaker (but still compelling) reasons why this possibility is, well, not possible, and in the next section you will see the cast-iron and gold-plated reasons to dismiss this and all other possible Earth-ending scenarios.

    The first question is whether a black hole can even be created at the LHC. Alas, when looking at all of the scientific evidence and using our most modern understanding of the laws of the universe, there is no way that the LHC can make a black hole. Gravity is simply too weak for this to occur.

    Some skeptics protest that one explanation for the weakness of gravity is that tiny extra dimensions of space exist. According to that theory, gravity is really strong and just appears to be weak because gravity can "leak" into the extra dimensions. Once we start probing those tiny dimensions, the strong gravity could perhaps make a black hole. Sadly for black hole aficionados, no one has found evidence for the existence of extra dimensions, and if they don't exist, the LHC can't make black holes.

    So the entire underlying idea of that particular possible danger is built on a long shot. Yet, even in the unlikely case that extra dimensions are real and a black hole can be created, there is a good reason to not worry about black holes damaging the Earth.

    The shield against that hypothetical danger is Hawking radiation. Proposed in 1974 by Steven Hawking, Hawking radiation is essentially the evaporation of a black hole caused by its interactions with particles created in the vicinity of the hole. While black holes will absorb surrounding material and grow, an isolated black hole will slowly lose mass.

    The mechanism is a quantum mechanical one, involving pairs of particles being made near the surface of the hole. One particle will go into the hole, but the other will escape and carry away energy. Since, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, energy and mass are the same, this process has the effect of very slowly decreasing the mass of the black hole. Even though one particle enters the hole, the loss of the other results in the hole slowly evaporating. This is a tricky point. Most people think of a black hole as the mass at the center, but it's actually both the mass at the center and the energy stored in the gravitational field. The particle zooming down to the center is just moving around in the black hole, while the particle that moves out escapes the black hole entirely. Both the mass of the escaping particle and the energy it carries are lost to the black hole, reducing the energy of the entire black hole system.

    And the rate at which a hole evaporates is a strong function of the hole's size. A large black hole will lose energy very slowly, but a small one will evaporate in the blink of an eye. In fact, any black hole the LHC could possibly make, via any possible theory, will disappear before it can get near any other matter to gobble up.

    Another proposed danger is a thing called a strangelet. A strangelet is a hypothetical subatomic particle composed of roughly an equal number of up, down and strange quarks.

    Mind you, there is zero evidence that strangelets are anything other than an idea born in the fertile imagination of a theoretical physicist. But, if they exist, the claim is that a strangelet is essentially a catalyst. If it impacts ordinary matter, it will make the matter it touches also turn into a strangelet. Following the idea to its logical conclusion, if a strangelet were made on Earth, it would result in the entire planet collapsing down into a ball of matter made of strangelets … kind of like turning the Earth into an exotic version of neutron star. Essentially a strangelet can be thought of as a subatomic zombie; one that turns everything it touches into a fellow strangelet zombie.

    But there is no evidence that strangelets are real, so that might be enough to keep some people from worrying. However, it's still true that the LHC is a machine of discovery and maybe it could actually make a strangelet … well, if they really exist. After all, strangelets haven't been definitively ruled out and some theories favor them. However, an earlier particle accelerator called the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider went looking for them and came up empty.

    Those are but two ideas for how a supercollider could pose a threat, and there are more. We could list all of the possible dangers, but there remains something more unsettling to keep in mind: Since we don't know what happens to matter when we start studying it at energies only possible with the LHC (that is, of course, the point of building the accelerator), maybe something will happen that was never predicted. And, given our ignorance, maybe that unexpected phenomenon might be dangerous.

    And it is that last worry that could have potentially been so troubling to the LHC's creators. When you don't know what you don't know, you … well … you don't know. Such a question requires a powerful and definitive answer. And here it is…

    Given the exploratory nature of the LHC research program, what is needed is an ironclad reason that demonstrates that the facility is safe even if no one knows what the LHC might encounter.

    Luckily, we have the most compelling answer of all: Nature has been running the equivalent of countless LHC experiments since the universe began — and still does, every day, on Earth.

    Space is a violent place, with stars throwing off literally tons of material every second — and that's the tamest of phenomena. Supernovas occur, blasting star stuff across the cosmos. Neutron stars can use intense magnetic fields to accelerate particles from one side of the universe to another. Pairs of orbiting black holes can merge, shaking the very fabric of space itself.

    All of those phenomena, as well as many others, cause subatomic particles to be flung across space. Mostly consisting of protons, those particles travel the lengths of the universe, stopping only when an inconvenient bit of matter gets in their way.

    And, occasionally, that inconvenient bit of matter is the Earth. We call these intergalactic bullets — mostly high-energy protons — "cosmic rays." Cosmic rays carry a range of energies, from the almost negligible, to energies that absolutely dwarf those of the LHC.

    To give a sense of scale, the LHC collides particles together with a total energy of 13 trillion (or tera) electron volts of energy (TeV). The highest-energy cosmic ray ever recorded was an unfathomable 300,000,000 TeV of energy.

    Now, cosmic rays of that prodigious energy are very rare. The energy of more common cosmic rays is much lower. But here's the point: Cosmic rays of the energy of a single LHC beam hit the Earth about half a quadrillion times per second. No collider necessary.

    Remember that cosmic rays are mostly protons. That's because almost all of the matter in the universe is hydrogen, which consists of a single proton and a single electron. When they hit the Earth's atmosphere, they collide with nitrogen or oxygen or other atoms, which are composed of protons and neutrons. Accordingly, cosmic rays hitting the Earth are just two protons slamming together — this is exactly what is happening inside the LHC. Two protons slamming together.

    Thus, the barrage of cosmic rays from space have been doing the equivalent of LHC research since the Earth began — we just haven't had the luxury of being able to watch.

    Now one must be careful. It's easy to throw numbers around a bit glibly. While there are lots of cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere with LHC energies, the situations between what happens inside the LHC and what happens with cosmic rays everywhere on Earth are a bit different.

    Cosmic ray collisions involve fast-moving protons hitting stationary ones, while LHC collisions involve two beams of fast-moving protons hitting head-on. Head-on collisions are intrinsically more violent; so to make a fair comparison, we need to consider cosmic rays that are much higher in energy, specifically about 100,000 times higher than LHC energies.

    Cosmic rays of that energy are rarer than the lower energy ones, but still 500,000,000 of them hit the Earth's atmosphere every year.

    When you remember that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, you realize that the Earth has experienced something like 2 billion billion cosmic ray collisions with LHC-equivalent energies (or higher) in the atmosphere since the Earth formed. In order to make that many collisions, we'd need to run the LHC continuously for 70 years. Given that we're still here, we can conclude that we're safe.

    The cosmic ray argument is fantastic, as it is independent of any possible LHC danger, including ones we haven't imagined yet. However, there is a loophole that potentially reduces the argument's strength. Because cosmic ray collisions are between a fast-moving and a stationary proton, the "dangerous" particle (whatever that might be) gets produced at high velocity and may shoot out of the Earth before it has time to damage it. (It's like in billiards when a cue ball hits another ball. After the impact, at least one, and often both, go flying.) In contrast, the LHC beams hit head-on, making stationary objects. (Think of two identical cars with identical speeds hitting head-on.) Maybe they will stick around and wreak carnage on the globe.

    But there is an answer to that too. I picked the Earth because it is near and dear to us, but the Earth isn't the only thing being hit by cosmic rays. The sun gets hit as well; and when a cosmic ray hits the sun, it might make a high-energy "dangerous" product, but that product then has to travel through a much larger amount of matter. And this doesn't take into account that the sun is much larger than the Earth, so it experiences many more high-energy collisions than our planet does.

    Further, we can expand the number of cosmic targets to include neutron stars, which consist of matter so dense that whatever potentially dangerous thing we might consider will stop dead in the neutron star right after it is made. And yet the sun and the neutron stars we see in the universe all are still there. They haven't disappeared.

    So that argument is the bottom line. When you ask if the LHC is safe, you have to realize that the universe has already done the experiments for us.

    Cosmic rays hit the Earth, the sun, other stars and all the myriad denizens of the universe with energies that far exceed those of the LHC. This happens all the time. If there were any danger, we would see some of these objects disappearing before our eyes. And yet we don't. Thus, we can conclude that whatever happens in the LHC, it poses exactly, precisely, inarguably, zero danger. And you can't forget the crucial point that this argument works for all conceivable dangers, including those that nobody has imagined yet.

    So having established the ironclad safety of the LHC, what then? Well, we absolutely hope that we do make black holes in the LHC — as explained, they would be tiny and not gobble up the planet. If we do see tiny black holes, we'll have figured out why gravity seems so weak. We'll probably have established that extra dimensions of space exist. We'll be that much closer to finding a theory of everything, a theory that is so persuasive, simple and concise that we can write its equation on a T-shirt.

    While we are now assured that the LHC is utterly safe, it is absolutely true that the safety question was important for scientists to investigate. In fact, the whole exercise was a satisfying one, as it used the best scientific principles to come to a definitive conclusion that all can agree is valid. So now we can push back the boundaries of our ignorance, with only our increasing excitement of the prospect of a discovery to distract us.
