One of the James Webb Space Telescope's science goals is to look back through time to when galaxies were young. Webb will do this by observing galaxies that are very distant, at over 13 billion light years away from us. To see such far-off and faint objects, Webb needs a large mirror. A telescope’s sensitivity, or how much detail it can see, is directly related to the size of the mirror area that collects light from the objects being observed. A larger area collects more light, just like a larger bucket collects more water in a rain shower than a small one.
Webb Telescope's scientists and engineers determined that a primary mirror 6.5 meters (21 feet 4 inches) across is what was needed to measure the light from these distant galaxies. Building a mirror this large is challenging, even for use on the ground. A mirror this large has never before been launched into space!
If the Hubble Space Telescope's 2.4 meter mirror were scaled to be large enough for Webb, it would be too heavy to launch into orbit. The Webb team had to find new ways to build the mirror so that it would be light enough - only one-tenth of the mass of Hubble's mirror per unit area - yet very strong.
The Webb Telescope team decided to make the mirror segments from beryllium, which is both strong and light. Each segment weighs approximately 20 kilograms (46 pounds).
The Webb Telescope team also decided to build the mirror in segments on a structure which will fold up, like the leaves of a drop-leaf table, so that it can fit into a rocket. The mirror would then unfold after launch. Each of the 18 hexagonal-shaped mirror segments is 1.32 meters (4.3 feet) in diameter, flat to flat. (Webb's secondary mirror is 0.74 meters in diameter.)
The diagram above shows the three different mirror prescriptions that the segments have.
The hexagonal shape allows a segmented mirror with high filling factor and six-fold symmetry. High filling factor means the segments fit together without gaps. If the segments were circular, there would be gaps between them. Symmetry is good because there need only be 3 different optical prescriptions for 18 segments, 6 of each (see above right diagram). Finally, a roughly circular overall mirror shape is desired because that focuses the light into the most compact region on the detectors. A oval mirror, for example, would give images that are elongated in one direction. A square mirror would send a lot of the light out of the central region.
Once in space, getting these mirrors to focus correctly on faraway galaxies is another challenge. Actuators, or tiny mechanical motors, provide the answer to achieving a single perfect focus. The primary mirror segments and secondary mirror are moved by six actuators that are attached to the back of each mirror piece. The primary mirror segments also have an additional actuator at its center that adjusts its curvature. The telescope's tertiary mirror remains stationary.
Lee Feinberg, Webb Optical Telescope Element Manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. explained, "Aligning the primary mirror segments as though they are a single large mirror means each mirror is aligned to 1/10,000th the thickness of a human hair. What's even more amazing is that the engineers and scientists working on the Webb telescope literally had to invent how to do this."
Watch the the actuators being attached to the back of a telescope mirror in this "Behind the Webb" video:
These diagrams show the back of the mirrors and the actuators.
One further challenge is to keep Webb's mirror cold. To see the first stars and galaxies in the early Universe, astronomers have to observe the infrared light given off by them, and use a telescope and instruments optimized for this light. Because warm objects give off infrared light, or heat, if Webb's mirror was the same temperature as the Hubble Space Telescope's, the faint infrared light from distant galaxies would be lost in the infrared glow of the mirror. Thus, Webb needs to be very cold ("cryogenic"), with its mirrors at around -220 degrees C (-364 degree F). The mirror as a whole must be able to withstand very cold temperatures as well as hold its shape.
To keep Webb cold, it will be sent into deep space, far from the Earth. Sunshields will shade the mirrors and instruments from the Sun's heat, as well as keep them separated from the warm spacecraft bus.
Here is an animation of how light travels through the telescope. JWST is what is known as a three mirror anastigmat. In this configuration, the primary mirror is concave, the secondary is convex, and it works slightly off-axis. The tertiary removes the resulting astigmatism and also flattens the focal plane. This also allows for a wider field of view.
How Did NASA Come Up With These Ideas?
NASA set out to research new ways to build mirrors for telescopes. The Advanced Mirror System Demonstrator (AMSD) program was a four-year partnership between NASA, the National Reconnaissance Office and the US Air Force to study ways to build lightweight mirrors. Based on the ASMD studies, two test mirrors were built and fully tested. One was made from beryllium by Ball Aerospace; the other was built by Kodak (formerly ITT, now the Harris Corporation) and was made from a special type of glass.
A team of experts was chosen to test both of these mirrors, to determine how well they work, how much they cost and how easy (or difficult) it would be to build a full-size, 6.5-meter mirror. The experts recommended that beryllium mirror be selected for the James Webb Space Telescope, for several reasons, one being that beryllium holds its shape at cryogenic temperatures. Based on the expert team's recommendation, Northrop Grumman (the company that is leading the effort to build Webb) selected a beryllium mirror, and the project management at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center approved this decision.
Why Beryllium?
Beryllium is a light metal (atomic symbol: Be) that has many features that make it desirable for Webb's primary mirror. In particular, beryllium is very strong for its weight and is good at holding its shape across a range of temperatures. Beryllium is a good conductor of electricity and heat, and is not magnetic. (At left is a picture of a marble-sized piece of Beryllium)
Because it is light and strong, beryllium is often used to build parts for supersonic (faster-than-the-speed-of-sound) airplanes and the Space Shuttle. It is also used in more down-to-Earth applications like springs and tools. Special care has to be taken when working with beryllium, because it is unhealthy to breathe in or swallow beryllium dust.
How and Where the Beryllium Mirrors Were Made
The James Webb Space Telescope's 18 special lightweight beryllium mirrors have to make 14 stops to 11 different places around the U.S. to complete their manufacturing. They come to life at beryllium mines in Utah, and then move across the country for processing and polishing. In fact, the mirrors make stops in eight states along the way, visiting some states more than once, before journeying to South America for lift-off and the beginning of their final journey to space. Explore an interactive map showing the journey of the mirrors.
The beryllium to make Webb's mirror was mined in Utah and purified at Brush Wellman in Ohio. The particular type of beryllium used in the Webb mirrors is called O-30 and is a fine powder. The powder was placed into a stainless steel canister and pressed into a flat shape. Once the steel canister was removed, the resulting chunk of beryllium was cut in half to make two mirror blanks about 1.3 meters (4 feet) across. Each mirror blank was used to make one mirror segment; the full mirror is made from 18 hexagonal segments.
Once the mirror blanks passed inspection, they were sent to Axsys Technologies in Cullman, Alabama. The first two mirror blanks were completed in March 2004.
Axsys Technologies shaped the mirror blanks into their final shape. The process of shaping the mirror starts with cutting away most of the back side of the beryllium mirror blank, leaving just a thin "rib" structure. The ribs are only about 1 millimeter (about 1/25 of an inch) thick. Although most of the metal is gone, the ribs are enough to keep the segment's shape steady. This makes each segment very light. A beryllium mirror segment is 20 kilograms in mass. (A full primary mirror segment assembly including its actuator is about 40 kg.)
The front surface of each blank was smoothed out and shaped properly so that it will be ready for its final position in the large mirror.
This movie shows the mirror blanks being made at Brush Wellman and shaped at Axsys.
Mirror Polishing
Once the mirror segments were shaped by Axsys, they were sent to Richmond, CA, where SSG/Tinsley polished them.
SSG/Tinsley started by grinding down the surface of each mirror close to its final shape. After this was done, the mirrors were carefully smoothed out and polished. The process of smoothing and polishing is repeated until each mirror segment is nearly perfect. At that point, the segments travel to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville (MSFC), Alabama for cryogenic testing.
Since many materials change shape when they change temperature, a test team from Ball Aerospace worked together with NASA engineers of Marshall Space Flight Center’s X-ray and Cryogenic Facility (XRCF) to cool the mirror segments down to the temperature Webb will expericence in deep space, -400 degrees Farenheit (-240 degrees Celsius).
Cryogenic testing of the primary mirror segments began in at Marshall's XRCF by Ball Aerospace in 2009.
The change in mirror segment shape due to the exposure to these cryogenic temperatures was recorded by Ball Aerospace Engineers using a laser interferometer. This information, together with the mirrors, traveled back to California for final surface polishing at Tinsley.
This short video shows part of the mirror polishing process. The mirrors' final polish was completed in June of 2011.
You can learn more about how the mirror segments are polished in this "Behind the Webb" video podcast:
Gold Coating
Once a mirror segment's final shape is corrected for any imaging effects due to cold temperatures, and polishing is complete, a thin coating of gold is applied. Gold improves the mirror's reflection of infrared light.
Some Technical Details: How is the gold applied to the mirrors? The answer is vacuum vapor deposition. Quantum Coating Incorporated did the coatings on our telescope mirrors. Essentially, the mirrors are put inside a vacuum chamber and a small quantity of gold is vaporized and it deposits on the mirror. Areas that we don't want coated (like the backside and all the mechanisms and such) are masked-off. Typical thickness of the gold is 1000 Angstroms (100 nanometers). A thin layer of amorphous SiO2 (glass) is deposited on top of the gold to protect it from scratches in case of handling or if particles get on the surface and move around (the gold is pure and very soft).
This Behind the Webb video is about mirror coating:

After the gold coating was applied, the mirrors once again traveled back to Marshall Space Flight Center for a final verification of mirror surface shape at cryogenic temperatures. The mirror segments are now complete - they will soon travel to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
The secondary mirror, now completed, went through a similar process - here it is after being gold-coated by Quantum Coating Incorporated.
In this video, you can follow the mirror's journey from rough ore to precisely reflective, gold-coated segments:
Past research has found that some planets create oxygen without the presence of biological organism , which has caused experts to believe this other worlds can sustain life.
But new findings will help determine the difference between life and the illusion of life, by identifying 'biosignatures' in the atmosphere of exoplanets.
Researchers believe this can be determined by studying the spectra features of light that is seen in the planet's atmosphere as it transits.
New findings will help determine the difference between life and the illusion of life, by identifying 'biosignatures' in the atmosphere of exoplanets. Researchers believe this can be determined by studying the spectra features of light that is seen in the planet's atmosphere as it transits
'Recently proposed mechanisms for developing abiotic O2/O3 in terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres would produce spectral discriminators that are potentially identifiable with future telescope observations, including James Webb Space Telescope,' reads the study published by the University of Washington in the journal arXiv.
HOW TO SPOT BIOSIGNATURES AND IMPOSTORS?
The first scenario suggests the star's ultraviolet light causes carbon dioxide to break down, which releases oxygen atoms to create O2 and will also produce an enormous amount of carbon monoxide as well.
'So if we saw carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide together in the atmosphere of a rocky planet, we would know to be very suspicious that future oxygen detections would mean life,'Edward Schwieterman, from the University of Washington, said.
The second is starlight breaks down atmospheric water vapor and splits it into hydrogen and oxygen, which then go in different directions.
The hydrogen floats out into space and the oxygen lingers in the atmosphere, which produces numerous O4 and O2 molecules.
'Certain O4 features are potentially detectable in transit spectroscopy, and many more could be seen in reflected light,' Schwieterman said.
'Seeing a large O4 signature could tip you off that this atmosphere has far too much oxygen to be biologically produced.'
'These discriminants are more detectable than O2 or O3 in transmission observations.'
The James Webb Space Telescope is set to be released sometime in 2018 and the University of Washington believes this new model will help 'rule out false positives in the search for life beyond Earth.'
Experts have hope that this device will be able to detect 'biosignatures' on planets far beyond our own solar system and rule out the false positives.
For example, oxygen on Earth is a 'biosignature', but even though it can be found on other planets it does not mean there is life.
Venus has both oxygen and carbon dioxide, but its atmosphere is too hot and acidic to sustain life - showing oxygen is a false positive.
'We wanted to determine if there was something we could observe that gave away these 'false positive' cases among exoplanets,' said lead author Edward Schwieterman, a doctoral student in astronomy.
'We call them 'biosignature impostors' in the paper.
'The potential discovery of life beyond our solar system is of such a huge magnitude and consequence, we really need to be sure we've got it right — that when we interpret the light from these exoplanets we know exactly what we're looking for, and what could fool us.'
Previous studies have shown that other planets create oxygen 'aboitically' or not from a living organism.
This has been found in planets that orbit low-mass stars, which are much smaller and dimmer than Earth's sun.
WE COULD FIND ALIEN LIFE IN THE NEXT 10-20 YEARS, CLAIMS NASA
There at least 200 billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy – and now Nasa officials claim we could be on the verge of finding life on one of them.
During a talk in Washington earlier this month, the space agency announced that humanity is likely to encounter extra-terrestrials within a decade.
'I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years,' Ellen Stofan, chief scientist for Nasa, said.
'We know where to look, we know how to look, and in most cases we have the technology.'
Jeffery Newmark, interim director of heliophysics at the agency, added: 'It's definitely not an if, it's a when.'
'We are not talking about little green men,' said Stofan. 'We are talking about little microbes.'
The announcement has been prompted by the recent discovery of water by Nasa in surprising places.
Jim Green, director of planetary science at Nasa, noted that a recent study of the Martian atmosphere found 50 per cent of the planet's northern hemisphere once had oceans a mile deep.
The first scenario suggests the star's ultraviolet light causes carbon dioxide to break down, which releases oxygen atoms to create O2 and will also produce an enormous amount of carbon monoxide as well.
'So if we saw carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide together in the atmosphere of a rocky planet, we would know to be very suspicious that future oxygen detections would mean life,' Schwieterman said.
The second is starlight breaks down atmospheric water vapor and splits it into hydrogen and oxygen, which then go in different directions.
For example, oxygen on Earth is a 'biosignature', but even though it can be found on other planets it does not mean there is life. Venus (pictured) has both oxygen and carbon dioxide, but its atmosphere is too hot and acidic to sustain life -- showing oxygen is a false positive.
The hydrogen floats out into space and the oxygen lingers in the atmosphere, which produces numerous O4 and O2 molecules.
'Certain O4 features are potentially detectable in transit spectroscopy, and many more could be seen in reflected light,' Schwieterman said.
'Seeing a large O4 signature could tip you off that this atmosphere has far too much oxygen to be biologically produced.'
'It's one thing to detect a biosignature gas, but another thing to be able to interpret what you are looking at, said Victoria Meadows, UW professor of astronomy and principal investigator of the Virtual Planetary Laboratory.
'This research is important because biosignature impostors may be more common for planets orbiting low-mass stars, which will be the first places we look for life outside our solar system in the coming decade.'

A partnership between the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and NASA is in place "to develop guidance to prepare for any potential impact of our planet by a large natural object."
The Charter notes that "the risks are inherently unique and there are currently no national policy covering this particular threat."
Spelled out in the Charter is the framework for the structure and processes of an interagency team focused on preparation for a predicted or actual impact of an asteroid or comet that could affect the United States or its territories.
The Charter details the roles, responsibilities, and membership of the PIERWG.
Coordinating agencies
The objective of the PIERWG provides a forum for affected U.S. Departments and Agencies to develop the essential information and recommendations needed by senior leadership to make informed decisions to respond to the “unique challenges” of an impending NEO impact.
PIERWG coordinating agencies include the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Department of Homeland Security-Science and Technology, as well as Department of Defense, and the Department of State’s Office of Space and Advanced Technology.
Approving the document is Damon Penn, Assistant Administrator of the Response Directorate of FEMA and NASA’s James Green, Director of the Planetary Science Division.
In early January, NASA announced the establishment of a Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) created to coordinate U.S. agencies and intergovernmental efforts to respond to future near-Earth objects that threaten Earth.

Past Present And Future Exist All At Once – Unravelling Secrets Of Quantum Physics
Past Present And Future Exist All At Once – Unravelling Secrets Of Quantum Physics
First version of this article was originally published on January 22, 2015
A. Sutherland – MessageToEagle.com – With the discovery of the crucial, though, unexpected link between space and time, Einstein realized that these two things could no longer be thought of as separate things.
They are fused together and form the continuum (manifold) of space-time, viewed as a four-dimensional vector space.
Suddenly, he realized something unbelievable, namely that our understanding of past, present and future and the sharp difference we see between them – may only be an illusion.
“The distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion,” he said.
At first, he wasn’t particularly thrilled with the unified spacetime idea and dismissed new four-dimensional geometry propose
d by Hermann Minkowski, as “superfluous” pedantry but he eventually accepted the idea and so must we.
As Arthur Schopenhauer expressed, “the most insignificant present has over the most significant past the advantage of reality” and such a belief cannot be so easily dismissed.
Naturally, this illusion – our understanding of past, present and future – is very convincing for us, but it’s still an illusion, we live with every day, every moment, continuously.
Centuries ago, St. Augustine of Hippo, one of the world’s most influential thinkers was also occupied with the phenomenon of time and space.
“How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet?” he asked.
“As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.”
Essentially the same question we are pondering today.
Most of us are convinced that reality means the events of the present moment.
It’s our fundamental belief since we were children because the only we understand is the reality of the moment.
We divide time into past, present and future and it seems essential to our experience of reality – our reality – as anything, says Paul Davies, a Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Adelaide, Australia.
But what if our perception of time and space has simply deceived us?
Much of what we thought we knew about our universe-that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that exists-just might be wrong, says famous physicist Brian Greene.
In our day-to-day lives, we experience time as a continuous flow. But it can also be useful to think of time as a series of snapshots, or moments, and every event can be thought of as the unfolding of moment, after moment, after moment.
And “if we picture all these moments, or snapshots, line them up, every moment here on Earth, every moment of Earth orbiting the Sun, and every moment throughout the entire universe, we would see every event that has ever happened or will ever happen, from the birth of our universe at the Big Bang, some 14-billion years ago; to the formation of stars in the Milky Way galaxy; to the creation of Earth, four and a half billion years ago; to the time of the dinosaurs; to events happening on Earth today, like me working in my office,” Greene explains.
Don’t you have a strange feeling that someone out there is so incredibly advanced technologically that he can observe all those movements (snapshots) in the entire universe when they take place simultaneously?
And when we seriously consider the simple but essential concept of “now we begin to understand that both past and future must be real because they could be your now, which means past, present and future – are all equally real and all exist.
Moreover, they exist all at once.

Striking Ancient “Stone Idols”: The Forgotten Polovtsian Statues Of Eastern Europe
Striking Ancient “Stone Idols”: The Forgotten Polovtsian Statues Of Eastern Europe
MessageToEagle.com – These enigmatic ancient stone statues, or “stone idols”, as they are often called by locals are almost unknown to the outside world.
The statues, known as the “Polovtsian statues” are found in large numbers spread across Russia, southern Siberia, in eastern Ukraine, Germany, Central Asia and Mongolia.
Many of the Polovtsian statues represent male warriors wearing helmets, armor, and weapons, like swords, bows, quivers. Hats and purses can be seen on the female statues.
In 2008, a team of archaeologists and conservators from Poland and Czech Republic undertook maintenance work on the Polovtsian anthropomorphic late medieval steles from the collection of the Veliklanadolskyi Forest Museum, at Komsomolsky Podsiolok in East Ukraine.
Their goal was to prevent the degradation of the sculptures caused by environmental factors and human activities, as well as to restore the aesthetics of the statues.
Aneta Golebiowska-Tobiasz, a member of the team became strongly aware of the cultural value of the monumental sculptures – barely known in the rest of Europe, and decided to channel her efforts into research and the restoration of the stelae, which represent so majestically the cultural heritage of the Turkic people of the steppe zone of Eastern Europe.
De Gruyter Open has now published the “Monumental Polovtsian Statues in Eastern Europe. The Archaeology, Conservation and Protection” in its Open Access Book program, presenting the author’s well-documented and illustrated history of the research on Cuman stone stelae.
” Stone statues, indigenous to the early Turks, appeared in the vast territory of the Asian steppes, from Southern Siberia to Central Asia and across the foothills of the Ural Mountains. The custom originated among Cumans in Eastern Europe.
The art of creating stelae had been known in many cultural circles before it had appeared among the Turkic peoples. The tradition of constructing monumental stone sculptures originated in the in the Bronze Age cultures of Central and Middle Asia around the 4th millennium B.C. Anthropomorphic stelae were later created by the Kimmers and the Scythians. Stone statues associated with the early Turks appeared in a vast territory of the Asian steppes that stretches from the Southern foothills of the Ural Mountains, through Kazakhstan, to Mongolia.
Their origins and the cultural significance are interpreted in a variety of ways, and still many issues associated with their construction remain unclear.
The book delves into the phenomenon of the anthropomorphic sculptures in relation to the migration of the Turkic nomads, from the perspective of an archaeologist and conservator.
With a visibly palpable passion, Gołębiowska-Tobiasz explores the diffusion of the stalae, the evolution of their canon, addressing alongside the latest hypothesis of the sculptures being related not only to religious beliefs but also of their possible political significance.
The art of erecting stale disappeared rather abruptly with the fall of the Polovtsians and the rapid spread of Islam. This book will mark a new perspective for the archeologists and historians on most versatile aspects of these imposing and yet neglected monuments.
“The book is not only innovative”, says Igor Leonidovich Kyzlasov, Head of Medieval Archaeology at the Russian Academy of Sciences, and arguably, one of the finest scientists in this subject area, “but it also accurately documents the complex process, and the results of restoration and conservation of monuments.”
According to Past Horizons “The Polovtsians conquered the area of the Azov steppes relatively early in the 11th century AD. The rich pastures and abundance of water in the new sprawling land under their control ensured the groups moved from nomadism towards seasonal horse pastoralism within a closed cycle of encampments.
In addition to favorable environmental conditions, a crucial role was played by the density of old kurgan cemeteries located in the watersheds of rivers.
The Polovtsians used these previously erected mounds as burial or cult places, often putting athropomorphic statues on their summits. In this way, they used the already sacred spaces during both funeral ceremonies.”
Hopefully the forgotten and neglected Polovtsian statues will now be better preserved for future generations. It would be a great pity if bit of valuable history was lost once again.
Humanity’s interest in the topic of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) continues to increase. The subject has received some well deserved attention as of late, and continues to pick up momentum in a time where the truth about UFOs and possible extraterrestrials (already visiting our planet) is hitting the mainstream world.
This “truth” includes the fact that dozens of foreign governments have released thousands of pages of UFO related documents –here is an example of the latest batch released from the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense in June 2013. Other country’s governments who have done the same include Mexico, France, Argentina, Russia and Belgium, just to name a few. The fact that governments have released and documented information that detail UFO encounters with the military, as well as supposed extraterrestrial encounters with people, tells us that they’ve had and do have a high level of interest when it comes to the topic of UFOs and extraterrestrials. Had this information remained classified, nobody would officially be able to say that governments have allocated resources to investigate this phenomenon, and it would have remained in the “conspiracy” realm. At the same time, it’s important to remember that this issue goes far beyond and well above government control.
“It is ironic that the U.S. should be fighting monstrously expensive wars allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on projects which both congress and the commander in chief know nothing about.” – Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defense Minister(source)
“Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data.” – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979). From “UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2″, Written by Richard Dolan
“Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former head of CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)
Just last year at the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure, a United States congresswoman voiced her opinion that the US government should disclose this existence, pointing to the fact that a number of foreign governments have already done so -you can read more about that story here.
Apart from government documents, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has allowed researchers to petition and receive thousands of pages of UFO related documents from various agencies. Here is a defense intelligence agency document outlining an encounter that took place in Iran in 1976. It details a military encounter with a UFO. You can read more about what happens when the military encounters a UFO and tracks it on radar here, it’s quite common.
“There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations. Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” (source) – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee
Documents also indicate various incursions at nuclear missile sites.
The UFO issue is one that has a tremendous amount of evidence behind it. As of today, nobody can really tell you that UFOs aren’t real. Objects have been tracked on radar and visually confirmed, performing maneuvers that defy our understanding of physics and travelling at unattainable speeds. For more detailed information (documents, statements from high ranking individuals) on the subject of UFOs, and why some of them (UFOs) might be extraterrestrial you can check out the article below and/or visit our exopolitics section of the website by clicking HERE.
Many people who are aware, or who are becoming aware of the UFO phenomenon are not aware of the fact that UFOs have been visiting and interacting with nuclear missile sites across the globe for decades. This is a well documented fact that dates back all the way to December of 1948.
“Significantly, the UFO activity occasionally transcends mere surveillance and involves direct and unambiguous interference with our strategic weapons systems. Numerous cases include reports of mysterious malfunctionsof large numbers of nuclear missiles just as one or more UFOs hovered nearby.” (Declassified Soviet Ministry of Defense documents confirm that such incidents also occurred in the former USSR.)
The above quote is from UFO researcher Robert Hastings, who has been researching the UFO phenomenon and its relation to nuclear missile sites for a a long time. Here is a clip of Robert speaking at the National Press Club in 2010.
The Encounter At Minot Air Force Base
Minot Air Force base is located in North Dakota. In the 1960’s it was a major Strategic Air Command base, responsible for housing ICBMs (nuclear missiles). On August 25th, 1966 a team at the base was ordered to investigate a very high multi-colored light that was positioned well above the base. The team confirmed the object, as well as a second object, the object was also tracked on radar. It rose and descended several times, and eventually descended to ground level about 15 miles away from the base. According to the official report:
“When the team was about ten miles from the landing site, static disrupted radio contact with them. Five to eight mintues later, the glow diminished, and the UFO took off.” (1)
This incident lasted approximately four hours, and was confirmed by three different nuclear missile sites.
The Encounter At Malmstrom Air Force Base
The UFO incursion at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana is one of the most remarkable events in this history of UFO encounters with the military. This occurred in March of 1967 at a base that was responsible for a large amount of nuclear weapons. Here’s what happened:
“An airman with the Oscar Flight Launch Control Center (LCC) saw a star-like object zigzagging high above him. Soon, a larger and closer light also appeared and acted in a similar way. The airman called his non-commissioned officer, and the two men watched the lights streak through the sky, maneuvering in impossible ways. The NCO phoned his commander, Lieutenant Robert Salas, who was not impressed. He ordered the NCO to keep watching the display and report back if the objects got any closer. Minutes later that is precisely what happened. Shouting into the phone, the NCO told Salas that a red, glowing UFO was hovering outside the front gate.
Salas woke his commander, Lieutenant Fred Meiwald. As he briefed Meiwald, an alarm went off in the small capsule, and both men saw a “No-Go” light turn on for one of the missiles. Within seconds, about ten of the missiles went down in succession. Twenty miles away, at the Echo Launch Control Center, the same scenario took place.
Strike teams were sent to the two launch facilities, where maintenance crews were at work and had been watching UFOs hover over each of their sites. The missiles were down for most of the day. Neither the Air Force invesigation, nor Boeing’s tests found any cause for the shutdown.”
Over the past few years, several Air Force personnel have come forward to confirm that something did happen, and in 2010 Salas was part of a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., that included these personnel. You can watch that full conference below:
Here is another video of Professor Robert Jacobs describing UFOs shutting down and disabling nuclear weapons that have already been launched.
Above are two of several instances that have occurred throughout the years and have been officially documented.
Why Are UFOs Deactivating Our Nuclear Missiles?
In my opinion, atomic weapons are something Earth and those who reside upon it don’t need. Perhaps the deactivations are a message to us that we are playing with something we don’t need to play with? Many UFOs started appearing when we were testing atomic weapons. Is it possible that some extraterrestrial beings might be concerned for the planet and the well being of the human race? Perhaps they are telling us we are playing with fire? Something we don’t need or shouldn’t have?
At the same time, we don’t need beings from another world to come tell us that harboring nuclear weapons that are capable of destroying the planet aren’t needed.
Perhaps the damage caused by the detonation of nuclear weapons reaches and affects worlds beyond our own?
Perhaps this is advanced technology from another country? Spying on our weaponry. Perhaps (if extraterrestrials) they are showing their superiority?
Based on my research into the topic of UFOs and extraterrestrials, I personally believe this is being done by benevolent extraterrestrials, and that it is a clear message to stop playing around with nuclear weapons and to take care of our planet.
What are your thoughts? Why do you think these incursions happened? Why do you think they are happening? Feel free to share in the comment section below.
I’d like to leave you with a video I’ve used several times before. But the statement is powerful, and true. The evidence supporting this phenomenon is overwhelming, and it’s one of the (if not the) most important story in human history that branches into so many different topics, and has so many implications. Again, browse through our exopolitics section for more articles on this subject, we have many.

Astronaut Scott Kelly landt woensdagochtend om vijf uur na een jaar in de ruimte weer op aarde. Tijdens zijn verblijf in het International Space Station kletste de Amerikaan niet alleen met president Obama, maar was het vooral belangrijk om veel data te verzamelen. Kelly (48) en zijn identieke tweelingbroer Mark (die heeft een snorretje) vormen namelijk samen de prestigieuze NASA Twin Study.
Ergens in de woestijn van Kazachtsan landt de Amerikaanse astronaut Scott Kelly samen met zijn Russische collega Mikhail Korniyenko. Na een ruimtereis van 340 dagen - de langste ooit voor een Amerikaan - worden de beide astronauten als helden ontvangen. De Nederlander Piet Smolders, oud-directeur van Artis Planetarium in Amsterdam, kijkt uit naar de landing. "Dankzij Kelly en zijn identieke tweelingbroer kan er nu goed vergelijkend onderzoek worden gedaan naar het effect van gewichtloosheid op de lange termijn op een lichaam.''
Het is niet zo gek dat NASA graag wil weten wat gewichtloosheid met mensen doet. De reis naar Mars gloort aan de horizon, maar welk effect heeft een reis van acht maanden in de ruimte nou eigenlijk op het menselijk lichaam? Niemand die het precies weet. Voor, tijdens en na de vlucht ondergaan de broers fysieke en psychische onderzoeken. Mark, een gepensioneerd astronaut, ondergaat er zes en Scott elf. Eentje is bijvoorbeeld om te kijken hoe lichaamssappen zoals bloed en urine door het lichaam stromen tijdens een lange periode van gewichtloosheid. Daarnaast wordt er ook gekeken naar veranderingen in bloedcellen en de aanpassingen in het immuunsysteem.
Smolders: "Als je een tijd in de ruimte bent, verslappen je spieren fors.'' Je botten worden ook steeds dunner. Elke maand in de ruimte verlies je 1,5 procent aan botmassa. "Door veel te trainen, kan je dat wel een beetje tegengaan, maar de eerste uren op aarde ben je nog niet in staat om op je eigen benen te staan. Dat zie je ook altijd bij een astronaut die landt: die wordt in Kazachstan opgevangen door een groep mensen, op een soort strandbed gelegd en weggedragen.''
Maar op Mars staat er niemand om astronauten op te vangen. Daar moeten ze op eigen kracht aan de slag gaan. "De zwaartekracht op Mars is ongeveer de helft van die op aarde. Met kunstmatige zwaartekracht kunnen de astronauten er lichamelijk wel op worden voorbereid, maar het blijft een ingewikkelde kwestie'', vertelt Smolders.
Toch zijn er ook sceptici. Ruimtevaartdeskundige Luc van den Abeelen bijvoorbeeld, denkt dat NASA de reis van de tweeling vooral gebruikt als propaganda. "Als je puur wetenschappelijk kijkt, is een onderzoek met slechts twee proefpersonen natuurlijk niet zo best.'' En er zijn wel wat meer wetenschappelijke wenkbrauwen gefronst: Zo eet aardbewoner Mark bijvoorbeeld geen astronautenvoer, zoals zijn zwevende broer.
Van den Abeelen vermoedt dat het NASA hoogstwaarschijnlijk meer om geld te doen is. "Ze zijn de Amerikanen en de toekomstige president aan het opwarmen om meer budget vrij te maken voor hun onderzoeken. Dat vind ik prima hoor, maar om nou te zeggen dat dit een grote stap in de richting van Mars is...''
Maar toch... zo'n ruimtereis en alle tweets, foto's en filmpjes die Scott Kelly naar aarde stuurt, blijft iets magisch om te volgen, vinden beide mannen. Van den Abeelen: "Ondanks mijn scepsis blijf ik groot fan. Het is bovendien toch fantastisch als je bedenkt dat de eerste man of vrouw die straks in 2030 op Mars nu al op aarde loopt, of kruipt.''
VIDEODrie astronauten, onder wie de Amerikaan Scott Kelly en de Rus Michail Kornienko, zijn weer geland op de aarde na hun verblijf in het internationaal ruimtestation ISS. Kelly en Kornienko verbleven 340 dagen in de ruimte, om er experimenten uit te voeren met het oog op een eerste bemande trip naar Mars.
Scott Kelly en Michail Kornienko zijn de eersten die dubbel zo lang als gewoonlijk in het ISS hebben gewoond en gewerkt. Ze kwamen samen met hun collega Sergej Volkov om 05.27 uur Belgische tijd, zoals verwacht, aan in Kazachstan met hun Sojoez.
Het was al de vierde missie voor Kelly, die bovendien een interessant studieobject is, aangezien hij een tweelingbroer heeft. Wetenschappers van NASA hebben zijn gezondheidstoestand vergeleken met die van zijn broer Mark, een voormalige astronaut, om de veranderingen te analyseren in het lichaam te onderzoeken die worden veroorzaakt door ruimtereizen. Volgens NASA ging het om het eerste onderzoek bij twee mensen met dezelfde genen in verschillende ruimtelijke omstandigheden.
In Kazachstan zal Kelly nu tests ondergaan om te bekijken welk effect de lange ruimtereis op zijn lichaam heeft gehad.
De absolute recordhouder in de ruimte is de Russische arts Valeri Poljakov. Hij heeft 438 dagen onafgebroken in het Russische ruimtestation Mir gewerkt.

Meteor Or UFO Seen Over Scotland On Feb 29, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Meteor Or UFO Seen Over Scotland On Feb 29, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: February 29, 2016 Location of sighting: Scotland A glowing object shot across the night sky in Scotland a few nights ago, which might or might not be a meteor. It was caught on security cams and car cams and shined more powerfully than the sun itself. If an alien were to enter Earths atmosphere, appearing like a meteor is what a higher intelligence being would do. Meteors have tails, this has none. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com RT News states: A suspected meteor lit up the sky over Scotland on Monday. Local residents took to social media to discuss possible causes of a flash of light seen in the early evening.
Australian Weathercam captured strange spherical object in the sky over Brisbane
Australian Weathercam captured strange spherical object in the sky over Brisbane
A guest camera in the Australian Weathercam Network, owned and operated by North Brisbane Data Recovery captured a rare phenomenon, what looks like a spherical object surrounded by clouds, in the sky over Brisbane, Australia on February 29, 2016.
At first glance it looks like it just cloud forming or a reflection of the sun or camera, but as the phenomenon appears out of nowhere and turns slowly into a circular shape we may wonder whether it is cloud forming/reflection or it is something like a second sun, an ‘invisible’ planet or a decloaking object?
Many people have reported a major bolide sighting over Northern Scotland during the evening of Mon 29-Feb-2016.
The fireball appears to be an unknown/undetected meteor/meteorite, turned night in to day for a few seconds and produced one or more sonic booms in the atmosphere.
Jenni Morrison was driving home from work on the A944 from Westhill to Alford at 6.45pm when she spotted the fireball light up the sky.
She told Sky News: "I thought what the hell was that! My son said it was a meteorite. It was like a light switch going on and off.”
"I knew it wasn't lightning and it was kind-of scary and amazing at the same time."
There are several dashcam and security camera recordings of the event.
Scientists discover 8000-year-old hand prints in ancient cave were NOT made by humans
ientists discover 8000-year-old hand prints in ancient cave were NOT made by humans
Anthropologists probing the discovery of tiny 8000-year-old hand prints in the eerie Egyptian Cave of Beasts say they were not made by human hands.
Explorers stumbled across the tiny hand imprints after unearthing more than 5000 images carved into the stone in Egypt's southwest border with Libya 14 years ago.
A study of the hand prints show that not only are they not human - but that they are believed to belong to tiny lizards.
The cave, which is also known as Wadi Sura II, has been the focus of study for Emmanuelle Honoré of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research for years.
She said she was stunned when she saw the shape of the small prints. "They were much smaller than human baby hands, and the fingers were too long," she told National Geographic.
The scientists took measurements of the stencils and compared them to those of newborn human infants under a year, including newborn premature babies that were 26 to 36 weeks old. But came to the startling conclusion that the prints were not human and instead were created by lizards.
But while Honoré is sure the prints were made by tiny crocodiles or lizards - she is unsure of the reason why they are there. Or why any civilization would want to draw or use the legs of animals on their cave walls.
Even though the fingerprints are interesting, the figures depicted are much more interesting.
A closer look at the several images show besides many different human-like species also human looking lizard creatures.
I have highlighted three figures: Two human-like species and a human-like lizard creature or reptilian humanoid.
Reptilian or Reptoid is a word mixed from reptilians and humanoids and are human looking lizard creatures. It is said that these reptilians are living inside the earth.
The dessert is the world's largest and is the size of Western Europe and goes from Egypt into Libya, Sudan and Chad. It is one of the driest places on earth - but wouldn't have necessarily been so when the images were made - since there would have been water to sustain life.
Two unknown objects flying in formation over Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
Witness states: I was driving on the A19 and it was a sunny clear day and blue skies on January 11, 2016 when I noticed which I thought was a military aircraft very high altitude making big swooping turns it had a contrail so I took a picture of it on my Iphone.
I then took a second picture of it and then carried on driving and just watched it until I could no longer see it I then continued to my destination and thought nothing of it.
Second Picture.
It was then I got home and was scrolling through my pictures and on the second picture I took I noticed on the far right of the picture there was something which looks like a twin diamond shape or triangle with a sort of faint contrail coming from it which I did not see on the day I took the pictures.
I have added the two original pictures for you to take a look at to see if anybody can figure them out.
I am a very open minded person however this could be something completely rational but it seems very strange that I did not notice it at the time of taking the pictures of the military craft?
Hopefully somebody can explain what this was. Mufon case 74879.
Note: Could it be the infamous TR3B, a craft as shown in the image below or is it a type of craft of unknown origin?
Image craft bottom right is the new secret B-21 Stealth bomber. The US Air Force has unveiled the first image of its next-generation bomber. The all-black plane has a distinctive, zigzagging shape and a low profile designed to make it hard to spot on radar.
According to Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James the new stealth bomber has yet to be built, but she provided the world with the first glimpse of the project using an artist’s rendering.
Date of Sighting:June 20, 1987 Time of Sighting:12:15 PM Local Time Date Reported: April 3, 2006 Duration of Sighting: Unknown Location of Sighting: Cedar Point, Ontario, Canada (Southern Ontario) Latitude: 44.8 Degrees North Longitude: 80.18 Degrees West Number of Witnesses: One Weather: Clear Skies.
Description (In Witness’s Own Words): The sighting occurred near Cedar Point, Ontario, Canada. I was flying my Citabria airplane at 3500 ft. ASL. The dull silver saucer shaped UFO was first sited over Christian Island as I was banking my aircraft to the right on a level turn. I opened my left side window to watch as the UFO passed approximately 500 ft. underneath my plane. I then banked the plane to the left so that I would not lose sight of it. The UFO continued on a straight and level path, and although I was going 110 m.p,h. the UFO’s speed was such that there was no way I could catch up to it. If I had to approximate it’s speed, I would guess at 400-600 m.p.h. As for the size of the UFO, I can’t really say, since there was nothing that I could compare it to. If I had to guess, I would say about 30 to 50 feet in diameter. It happened so quickly, but I did get a very good look at it. There were no windows or any markings on the UFO. The color was a dull silver, almost a grey color. I usually always carry a camera in my side pouch, but this time, it was in a bag behind the rear passenger seat. If I had a passenger with me at that time, I would have been able to get a very good picture with my 35mm camera! Now when I go flying, I always make sure that I have at least two cameras with me at all times.
Addition Information About Airplane Pilot Was Flying: The aircraft was manufactured by Champion Aircraft CO. in the USA. The model is a Citabria 7ECA.
Investigator’s Notes:This is an example of a credible witness reporting an incredible sighting. The witness did not report this sighting previously because he was afraid of ridicule. He got a good look at the craft as it approached close to his aircraft. The sighting occurred near the middle of a bright sunny day. Not much more to say: Unidentified!
MYSTERIOUS NAZI SUBMARINE FROM WWII DISCOVERED IN GREAT LAKES PUBLISHED 11:39, 29 FEBRUARY 2016
MYSTERIOUS NAZI SUBMARINE FROM WWII DISCOVERED IN GREAT LAKES
Niagara Falls| Divers from the U.S coast guard took part this morning, in a delicate wreck recovery operation to bring to the surface a Nazi submarine discovered two weeks ago at the bottom of Lake Ontario.
The U-boat was spotted for the first time by amateur scuba divers in late January and they had contacted the authorities. Archaeologists associated with Niagara University of and master divers from the U.S Coast Guard were mobilized on site to determine what it was, and they soon realized that they were dealing with a German submarine that sank during World War II.
A wreck recovery vessel of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society was mandated to refloat the ship and bring it back to Niagara Falls, where it must be restored before becoming a museum ship. The delicate recovery operation took nearly 30 hours to complete, but the submarine was finally brought down on the bank with relative ease.
The submarine was identified as the UX-791, a unique experimental German submarine, based on the U-1200 model, and known to have participated in the “Battle of the St. Lawrence”. It was reported missing in 1943 and was believed to have been sunk near the Canadian coast.
Professor Mark Carpenter, who leads the team of archaeologists, believes that the U-boat could have traveled up the St-Lawrence River, all the way to the Great Lakes, where it intended to disturb the American economy.
A report from the dated from February 1943 suggests, that the ship could have attacked and destroyed three cargo ships and two fishing vessels, even damaging the USS Sable (IX-81), an aircraft carrier of the U.S. navy that was used for training in the Great Lakes, before finally being sunk by anti-sub grenades launched by a Canadian frigate.
“We have known for a long time that the Nazis had sent some of their U-boats in the St-Lawrence River, but this is the first proof that they actually reached the Great Lakes,” Professor Carpenter told reporters. “This could explain the mysterious ship disappearances that took place in the region in 1943, and the reported “Battle of Niagara Falls” which had always been dismissed as a collective hallucination caused by fear.”
The restoration of the submarine could take more than two years, but oncecompleted, the museum ship is expected to become one of the major touristattractions of the region.

Biggest ‘ Flock ’ of UFOs Filmed While ‘ Playing ’ Over Kazakhstan
Biggest ‘ Flock ’ of UFOs Filmed While ‘ Playing ’ Over Kazakhstan
Many bizarre things happen on a daily basis, but only a few of them make it into the western kitchen. Such is the case of this MASSIVE UFO appearance over the city of Astana, capital of Kazakhstan, that hasn’t yet reached our screens, not to mention the extremely low media coverage. So how come an entire town films a fleet of playful UFOs and the western media remains silent?
A couple of years ago, an entire UFO fleet of UFOs appeared over Astana. The locals were puzzled by this unusual sighting so they started to film so that the rest of the world would believe them. The peculiar objects hovered above the city and they were so many that you could confuse them with a flock of birds. But since there’s no such species of flying vertebrates that can glow and even pulsate on the night sky, we consider this to be a veritable UFO sighting – a very spectacular one.
According to the eyewitnesses, local authorities stood all over the place watching the aerial spectacle without knowing what to believe. People received no arguments regarding this event, concluding that everyone was taken by surprise. A resident by the name of Alexander Fofonov gave more details in a statement for the local Kazak news:
I’ve never seen such a thing in my life. The sky was full of lights dancing around and people gathered to watch them in amazement. I even saw a bunch of policemen putting their hats down to have a clear view of what was happening. I cannot describe in words what I saw, it was like the entire night sky was alive and it lasted for a few minutes before they took off for higher altitude, it was miraculous.
Although the residents of Astana had their blood boiling while waiting for an official explanation, the elucidating moment never arrived. Local authorities behaved like nothing happened that night, and there was only a brief media coverage of the event. After a few days, there were only the eyewitnesses that recalled what happened. So what was this all about, and how come it passed so unnoticed considering the huge scale of the sighting?
Opinions are split among UFO analysts, as some consider the UFOs to be artificially intelligent devices, others see them as organic entities that flew to the surface from within the earth. Another hypothesis compares them to the mysterious orb-UFOs seen in so many places across the world, but although some similarities exist between them such as the brightness and pulsating ability, there are other indicators which are missing. So if they don’t fit this category of UFOs, what could these be?
If we consider the vast amount of unexplored places on Earth, a UFO cannot easily run out of spots to hide or set up a base. The existence of subterranean alien settlements could prove to be true after all considering the increasing number of sighting from the last couple of years. However, determining their origins remains a matter of guessing for now, as these mysterious UFOs could be anything from mystical beings to intelligent drones that are self-controlled or guided by someone or something.
The event in itself and the fact that it had been recorded is a major achievement because the UFO community is now able to analyze how UFOs act in a big ‘flock,’ and the results are like nothing that I’ve seen so far. There are many types of UFOs, and it appears that new species are starting to show off their face. Are they trying to send humanity a message, or were they surprised by pure coincidence?

Russia Army Officer Eugene Gavrilov Reveals Antarctic Secrets
Russia Army Officer Eugene Gavrilov Reveals Antarctic Secrets
Recently news site kramola.info.russia interviewed the officer of the Russian army Eugene Gavrikov.
He tells about his personal experience in Antarctica and argues that there really is a pyramid hidden in the midst of cold icy mountains and there are traces of military infrastructure left by the Third Reich and there are signs of activity from the past. Furthermore, Gavrikov states that the United States is aware of what actually happens in Antarctica where satellites showed the Ozon hole which could not be attributed to human activities but is generated by something more mysterious.
Below the complete raw version of the interview with Eugene Gavrikov.
