NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly Fought Off Invading Aliens In Space With A Little Help From Microsoft
NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly Fought Off Invading Aliens In Space With A Little Help From Microsoft
After nearly a year in space, worn-out spacewalker Scott Kelly came home telling tales of blasting aliens in outer space. But the out-of-this-world battle for the future of humanity was all in and on Scott's head. (Photo : Eric Kayne | Getty Images)
Matters of mankind kept him sane during his 340 days orbiting the Earth, but Scott Kelly returned home blabbing out the last thing NASA wants one of its astronauts disclosing to the public. Thankfully for NASA, Kelly's talk of fending off aliens wasn't the delusions of a man who spent so much time in space that his spine sprawled out to add 1.5 inches to his height.
The bug-eyed guys in gray likely haven't forgotten about NASA's lunar strike, which sought to tap into the moon's supply of frozen water. They haven't forgotten about the flag planted there by earthlings or the game of golf the astronauts played there either.
There's probably none of that going on, but conspiracy theorists are people too.
And while Kelly was surprised at how long the mission felt and admitted that "maybe occasionally you do go bananas," he and his shipmates' battle for the future of mankind was a selfless mission for science and his time deconstructing attacking alien craft with laser cannons may have been one of the things that enabled him to return home with his sanity in tow.
Independence Play Watching the astronauts pinch at thin air, maybe mouthing "pew, pew, pew," and without knowing that futuristic masks over their faces are Microsoft's HoloLens, it might be hard to argue that something hadn't gone horribly wrong aboard the space station and in the minds of its occupants.
"I think that virtual reality has a lot of potential," Kelly said on Friday after being granted his request to be taken to our leaders. "[The HoloLens] worked great. I was really surprised. We messed around with it for, like, two hours, and immediately, I sensed, this is a capability we could use right now."
NASA astronaut Scott Kelly performing checkouts for NASA’s Project Sidekick, which makes use of Microsoft’s HoloLens device.
Some of the $3,000 augmented reality headsets were shipped to the space station for testing. But no software-based business machine has ever been used strictly for work, a fact that may be skewed by the innate human ability to look busy on the job.
It wasn't all fun and intergalactic games for the astronauts while testing HoloLens. The astronauts were testing the effectiveness of augmented reality technology for use in everything, from the mission critical to the mundane. Use of the headsets, which mix reality with computer-generated content beamed to the eyeballs, was a part of Project Sidekick, the collaboration between NASA and Microsoft.
Back on Earth, Kelly spoke of how effective the headset was in helping him work through a checklist of tasks. He also seemed to have been impressed by the ability for ground control to draw things directly into his field of view.
"The technology, in general, has got great potential for applications not only in space, but of course, on Earth as well," said Kelly.
Survivor Man A lot of changes happened while Kelly was away. But it wasn't just the Earth that changed during that time, as spending a year in space also has some pronounced effects on the human body.
The astronaut's skin became hypersensitive because it didn't come into contact with other things. His spine alsoexpanded, though it retracted and he returned to his normal height when he returned home.
Kelly, 52, spent 340 days in space and traveled close to 144 million miles during the trip. He returned home delivering a wealth of data that scientists will quietly analyze until they're ready to make their findings public in scientific journals.
Russian space agency also on the hunt for extraterrestrial life
Russian space agency also on the hunt for extraterrestrial life
Russian space agency also on the hunt for extraterrestrial life
– Russia’s space agency recently released a draft of their Federal Space Program for 2016 to 2025, and it includes their plans to join the European Space Agency (ESA) on the ExoMars Program whose mission is to hunt for signs of extraterrestrial life on Mars.
Russian newspaper RIA Novosti summarized the goals of the Russian Federal Space Agency, aka Roscomos, in a recent article on a draft of the new Russian Federal Space Program, which RIA Novosti was allowed to review. The headline for their story reads, “Search for extraterrestrial life is included in the draft of the new space program of the Russian Federation.”
The alien hunting program Roscomos is participating in is one that was created by the ESA and for a period of time was going to be executed in participation with NASA. It was part of the ESA/NASA Mars Exploration Joint Initiative. However, the ExoMars program was defunded on the U.S. side in 2013 purportedly due to cost overruns of the James Webb Space Telescope.

After NASA pulled out, Roscosmos jumped in, and as they put it, “thereby taking the place left by NASA.” It is an ambitious project that includes four spacecraft. There will be an orbiter, two landers and a rover. The first part of the mission will include the orbiter and a lander, and is currently scheduled to be launched by a Roscomos Proton rocket in January, 2016.
The orbiter is called the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), and it serves many purposes. It will be used to survey Mars’ surface for landing sites, serve a sa communications relay for the landers and rover, map the distribution of near-surface water, and analyze the climate, including searching for and analyzing methane gas.

The detection of methane is important because one source of methane is microbes. Previously, NASA reported that their Curiosity rover did not detect methane at a high enough level to support the idea that it stems from a biological source. However, scientists did point out that if life existed in the past, most of this methane could have been depleted.
It is hoped that the TGO will be able to further analyze the methane that has been detected on Mars to discover its origins.
The lander that will accompany the TGO in January is called the Schiaparelli Descent and Landing Demonstrator Module (EDM) Lander, and, like its name indicates, one of its main goals it to test the ability of a lander to safely descend and land on the Martian surface.
Once there, it will also check the atmosphere and Martian weather. It includes a camera, so there will hopefully be some dramatic footage of its landing if it survives the trip. The lander is expected to arrive in October 2016. The second ExoMars launch is planned to for May 2018. This package, which includes a lander and a rover, is expected to touch down on Mars in January 2019. The rover will have a drill which will pull Martian samples into an onboard lab for analysis. It will have the ability to look for biomolecules and biosignatures from life that exists, or existed, on Mars in the present or past.

This is yet another project in the hunt for evidence of extraterrestrial life, which is the crux of the majority of the research on Mars, according to Seth Shostak, senior astronomer for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute.
He says the Mars missions are not just about looking at rocks. “That’s the mythology,” says Shostak. “Mars is about life, not geology, as interesting as that is.”
NASA’s chief scientist Ellen Stofan recently said, “I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within twenty to thirty years.”
Perhaps Mars is the place we will find it. Although, what a rub it would be if the ESA and Roscomos find it without the participation of NASA. Then again, there are scientists who feel we have evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars right here on Earth. The race is on.

It was reported on March 19th, 2012 that nine thousand Nazi war criminals fled to South America after the Second World War.
The information was released after German prosecutors were recently granted access to secret files in Brazil and Chile that confirmed the true number of Third Reich immigrants.
Secret files have revealed that an estimated 9,000 Nazis, including Holocaust mastermind Adolf Eichmannand Auschwitz doctor Josef Mengele fled to South America in the aftermath of the Second World War
Most, perhaps as many as 5,000, went to Argentina; between 1,500 and 2,000 are thought to have made it to Brazil; around 500 to 1,000 to Chile; and the rest to Paraguay and Uruguay.
These numbers do not include several hundred more that fled to the Middle East.Previous estimates as to how many Nazis fled to South America have varied wildly from 5,000 to 300,000.
There are also the other rumors and so called myths about Nazis who fled further South.
One theory is that Martin Bormann (Who was allegedly confirmed dead) and other top Nazis, in some cases Hitler himself escaped to South America and on to a secret base in Antarctica where they had top scientists continue to work on Wonder weapons which include flying saucers.
The technology of course was allegedly given to them through occult means. Some even say that the technology was actually discovered from a spaceship crash in Poland before the war began.
In the 1936 there were reports of a large bright light that came down from the sky and landed or crashed somewhere in the Black Forest near Poland. SS troops from the Jelenia Góra garrison came and brought the disc to Jelenia Góra township, where it was examined and back engineered by Scientists who were members of the Thule Society and answered to the Vril, an occult organization that claimed to be receiving messages from space brethren who lived on the moon.
The Thulist scientists laid claim to the idea that the technology left behind by “aliens” or “moon men” was propelled by something called The Black Sun, avery powerful energy source that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
It was allegedly thought by the Vril and the Thulists to be in the godhead’s inner light in the form of a cross. It was also said to be found in antimatter.
It was the all powerful energy source directly from the hand of God to mankind. In Nazi architecture you will see the symbol of the Black Sun right alongside the Swastika as a mystical symbol of power.
Both symbols represent the round and perfected winged disc or “god” vehicle. These strange symbols were adopted by the Vril as symbols and talisman of power.
Members of the Vril Society are said to have included Adolf Hitler, Alfred Rosenberg, Heinrich Himmler, Hermann Göring, and Hitler’s personal physician, Dr. Theodor Morell.
The NSDAP (National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei) was created by Thule in 1920, one year later.
Dr. Friedrich Krohn, who helped to create the Nazi flag, was also a Thulist.
With Hitler in power in 1933, both Thule and Vril Gesellschafts allegedly received official state backing for continued disc development programs aimed at both the war machine and regular space flights to the moon.
Hitler’s forces flew the first military jet, the German Heinkel 178, in 1939. In 1943 the Germans also deployed the only jet fighter to go into regular service during the war: The Messerschmitt 262. This ME-262 could easily overtake the fastest Allied aircraft and only Hitler’s misguided orders that the planes be outfitted as bombers instead of defensive fighters saved Allied aircraft from devastating casualties.
Cruise missiles, a staple of current advanced arsenals, were also first used by the Third Reich during the war. V-1 flying bombs were launched from German-held territories across the channel into England. The “buzz bombs,” as they were sometimes called because of the sound of their impulse jet engines, could outrun most Allied aircraft, making the V-1’s almost impossible to stop. The V-1’s weakness was its guidance system (a problem solved in modern cruise missiles by the use of computer-controlled radar). Because it couldn’t hit a pinpoint target, the V-1 could only be used to cause random terror and not zero in on truly important military assets.
The German V-2 rocket was the predecessor of the intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that filled the nuclear arsenals of the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War. It traveled up to 225 miles at five times the speed of sound and a single hit could demolish a city block. During the war, the V-2 killed 2724 civilians and injured another 6467. Like the V-1, though, it lacked a guidance system that would have allowed it to effectively strike at important targets.
Hitler’s engineers even developed a rocket-powered fighter, the ME 163. Though it only saw limited service and was never very successful as a fighter, it was the first aircraft to fly faster than 600 miles an hour.
Many of the reports of Nazi flying saucers can be traced back to a book entitled German Secret Weapons of World War II written by Rudolf Lusar in the late 1950’s. Lusar had been a major in a German army technical unit during the war. His book covered many of the acknowledged advances like the V1 and V2, but also included a chapter on “Wonder Weapons.”
According to Lusar, a German aircraft designer named Rudolf Schriever, along with other engineers Habermohl, Mierth and Bellanzo (who was Italian), were working on several disc-shaped aircraft toward the end of the war.
At a facility near Breslau, Poland, a group headed by Miethe constructed a prototype of a circular air vehicle 137 feet in diameter with an elongated hump on top for the cockpit. The aircraft was to be powered with “adjustable jet engines.” In Lusar’s account, the device was destroyed when the plant where it was being constructed was blown up by retreating German troops before it could be overrun by the Soviets in 1945.
There are others who say that the technologies were moved and integrated into other technologies used by the United States and Russia. Furthermore there were other accounts that say that the saucers still exist and that they are in Antarctica at a secret base called 211.
It was proposed that that the Antarctic research vessel the flying Schwabenland transported equipment and other machinery, including rail road equipment, rail cars and huge cutters for drilling tunnels.
Thirty five of of the largest submarines were used to transport supplies. It is alleged that the base had facilities and cargo docs that could hold at least eight submarines at a time.
By the end of the war, the Germans had nine research facilities at the base. Each facility was a science and research facility used to continue work on weapons, and flying discs.
Nazi scientists allegedly conducted studies on the creation of Superman, which would be used to dominate the world.
They would also improve the weapons, which would conquer the Earth. It is believed that the saucer technology still exists today and that German scientists brought over the technology to the United States for use in space travel and war.

8,000-year-old handprints in Stone Age Cave were NOT human
8,000-year-old handprints in Stone Age Cave were NOT human
Researchers have come to the conclusion that the enigmatic set of handprints were not made by human beings.
Located in the vast arid desert near Egypt’s southwestern border with Lybia, amateur explorer stumbled upon the ‘Cave of Beasts’ in 2002. The cave, also known as Wadi Sura II, includes a total of 5000 images painted or engraved into the stone over 8,000 years ago.
The mysterious set of handprints, which amateur explorers discovered in an Egyptian cave in 2002 were not created by humans after all. A new study shows that the hands are too small and fingers too long in order to have belonged to a human species.
A new theory suggests ancient hunters could have created the handprints by holding up lizards. However why ancient hunters would have done this remains a mystery.
The new theory is somewhat conflictive and many do not agree, suggesting the truth behind them is far more mysterious than we are willing to accept.
Researchers first believed that the anomalous ‘prints’ engraved in the stone belonged to the hands and feet of baby children, but a new researcher has shown otherwise, suggesting that the traces left in the cave did not belong to humans but… lizards.
Anthropologist Emmanuelle Honoré of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research stated she was stunned when she saw the shape of the small prints, which at first impression, might resemble small baby hands.
The cave, has around 5,000 images that were painted or engraved into stone around 8,000 years ago
She told the National Geographic: ‘They were much smaller than human baby hands, and the fingers were too long.’
To understand who or what left those prints behind, Honoré compared measurements taken from the hand outlines found in the Cave of the Beasts with those taken from the hand of newborn children, including the measurements from newborn premature babies. The results were clear, the depictions left behind in the Cave did not belong to humans and Honoré concluded that there is an ‘extremely low probability’ that the hands in the Cave of the Beasts were human.
The Anthropologist believes the mysterious marks might have been created by hunters who used the forelegs of desert monitor lizards or even crocodiles to make these marks.
‘[This raises new perspectives for understanding the rock art at Wadi Sūra, and the behavior and symbolic universe of the populations who made it,’ she writes in her study, published in the journal Archaeological Science
But no one can come up with an explanation as to why people 8,000 years ago would use lizards or even crocodiles to leave such marks behind.
This explanation makes no sense according to many other researchers who look for alternative explanations.
The National Geographic writes: Honoré is reluctant to speculate on why such a civilization would imprint the legs of animals on their cave walls.
‘It’s very challenging for us as researchers to interpret these paintings since we have a culture that’s totally different [from the one that created it],’ she said.

RUIMTE Op 8 maart zal een asteroïde voorbij onze planeet suizen. Volgens eerdere berekeningen zou de passage drie dagen eerder moeten gebeuren, maar die datum is nu naar de prullenmand verwezen.
Het gaat om planetoïde 2013 TX68, die ons op een grotere afstand zal passeren dan eerst gedacht. Dat zegt het Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) van de NASA. De scheervlucht zal op ruwweg 5 miljoen kilometer van ons gebeuren, al is er "steeds nog een kans dat de passage dichter kan verlopen, maar niet dichter dan 24.000 kilometer", luidt het. "Er is niets zorgwekkends omtrent deze asteroïde", benadrukt Paul Chodas van het gespecialiseerd centrum in het JPL.
Gevaar voor satellieten?
"Dat een asteroïde een kunstmaan raakt zou zijn als een geblinddoekt iemand een kiezelsteen gooit en daarbij één enkele kleine naald in een hooiberg raakt"
De verwachting impliceert niettemin dat de scheervlucht binnen de ring van geostationaire satellieten kan plaatsvinden, want die draaien op ruwweg 35.000 kilometer boven onze Evenaar. Geciteerd door de Britse krant Daily Mirror, sust de Amerikaanse astronoom Sean Marshall (van de Cornell University in New York) alsnog: "Als deze asteroïde dichter zou komen dan de geostationaire satellieten, zou dit een zeldzame gebeurtenis zijn. Dat gebeurt, wat grote asteroïden betreft, maar één keer in een decennium".
Of nog: "Het is extreem onwaarschijnlijk dat eender welke satelliet zou worden geraakt. Dat een asteroïde een kunstmaan raakt zou zijn als een geblinddoekt iemand een kiezelsteen gooit en daarbij één enkele kleine naald in een hooiberg raakt".

Campagneleider Hillary Clinton: “Amerikaanse volk kan omgaan met de waarheid over UFO’s”
Campagneleider Hillary Clinton: “Amerikaanse volk kan omgaan met de waarheid over UFO’s”
De campagne van Hillary Clinton wordt gedomineerd door gezondheidszorg, ‘e-mailgate’ en… buitenaardse wezens. Volgens John Podesta, de campagneleider van Clinton, zal Hillary er werk van maken om overheidsstukken over UFO’s vrij te geven als ze de volgende president van Amerika wordt. Dat schrijft het New York Magazine.
Podesta zei dit onderwerp ‘uitvoerig met Hillary te hebben besproken’. Hij denkt dat ze inziet dat het belangrijk is om het Amerikaanse volk te vertellen wat de overheid weet over buitenaardsen. “Ik denk dat ik haar ervan heb overtuigd dat we zoveel mogelijk moeten vrijgeven zodat mensen antwoord krijgen op hun vragen,” zei hij. “Er kan meer aandacht komen voor onverklaarbare fenomenen in het luchtruim zonder dat mensen die hier serieus mee bezig zijn belachelijk worden gemaakt.”
Tot op de bodem
Het is niet de eerste keer dat er wordt gesproken over UFO’s tijdens de campagne van Clinton. Tijdens een bezoek aan New Hampshire zei Clinton dat ze het UFO-mysterie ‘tot op de bodem zou uitzoeken’ en in 2007 zei ze dat haar man tijdens zijn ambtstermijn de meeste Wob-verzoeken binnenkreeg over UFO’s.
Ze zei ook dat ze ‘denkt dat we mogelijk al zijn bezocht’. Bill Clinton vroeg zijn staf tijdens zijn presidentschap om te achterhalen of de overheid buitenaards contact probeerde te verdoezelen.
Nieuwe kans
“We moeten dit doen omdat het Amerikaanse volk kan omgaan met de waarheid,” zei Podesta. “Het is tijd dat de regering wetenschappers gegevens verschaft om dit fenomeen te achterhalen. Mensen willen weten wat de overheid weet.”
Op zijn laatste werkdag als beleidsadviseur van president Obama tweette Podesta: “Mijn grootste mislukking van 2014, wederom niet gelukt om de UFO-onderzoeken te openbaren.”
Mocht Hillary Clinton in januari 2017 in het Witte Huis belanden, dan zal de Washington-insider een nieuwe kans krijgen om de waarheid over aliens naar buiten te brengen.
Deze maand aan de hemel: twee verduisteringen en een extra heldere Jupiter
Deze maand aan de hemel: twee verduisteringen en een extra heldere Jupiter
Hemelspeurders hoeven zich deze maand niet te vervelen. Er zijn een totale zonsverduistering en een maansverduistering in aantocht en daarnaast zal Jupiter extra helder schijnen. Het is een goede maand om naar boven te kijken.
8-9 maart: Totale zonsverduistering
Een zonsverduistering vindt plaats wanneer de maan precies tussen de aarde en de zon schuift. Vanaf de aarde gezien staat de maan dan voor de zon en verduistert deze dus. De nieuwe maan schuift vanaf de aarde gezien precies voor de zon langs. De verduistering is bij ons niet zichtbaar.
Inwoners van Indonesië en delen van de Stille Zuidzee kunnen de totale zonsverduistering wel zien op 9 maart. Mensen die in Maleisië, Zuidoost-Azië en het noorden van Australië wonen, krijgen een gedeeltelijke zonsverduistering te zien. Op Hawaï vindt de verduistering plaats op 8 maart.
Als je de totale zonsverduistering vanaf je computer wilt volgen, kun je hier de livestream volgen. Voor de eerstvolgende totale zonsverduistering in Nederland moeten we wachten tot 2135.
8 maart: Jupiter is in oppositie
Voor een waarnemer op aarde staat de planeet tegenover de zon aan de hemel. Als gevolg daarvan komt Jupiter op rond zonsondergang en gaat rond zonsopkomst weer onder. De planeet is hierdoor vrijwel de gehele nacht te zien. Daarnaast staat hij relatief dicht bij de aarde, zodat hij helder en groot lijkt. Dit zijn ideale omstandigheden om Jupiter waar te nemen.
Jupiter is met het blote oog als een opvallende heldere ‘ster’ aan de hemel zichtbaar. Al met een verrekijker zijn de vier grote Galileïsche manen van de planeet te zien.
23 maart: Penumbrale maansverduistering
Bij een maansverduistering staan de zon, de aarde en de maan op een rij, in die volgorde. De aarde staat dus tussen de zon en de maan in, waardoor de schaduw van de aarde op de maan kan vallen. Het maximum van de eclips vindt om 12.48 uur plaats, bij ons onder de horizon en bij daglicht.
Een penumbrale maansverduistering doet zich voor wanneer de maan door de bijschaduw van de aarde trekt. In dat geval is de maan wat minder helder. Een totale maansverduistering doet zich voor wanneer de maan door de kernschaduw van de aarde trekt.
De maansverduistering is zichtbaar in Noord-Amerika, het grootste deel van Zuid-Amerika, Australië, het grootste deel van Azië, de Stille Zuidzee, de Indische Oceaan en de Atlantische Oceaan.
Al jarenlang wordt er druk gesproken en gespeculeerd over de UFO-waarnemingen boven de voormalige vliegbasis Soesterberg.
Er waren natuurlijk de beroemde waarnemingen in 1979, maar nu komt er via Mufon nog een spectaculaire boven tafel.
Vaak houden mensen die iets bijzonders hebben meegemaakt op het gebied van UFO’s en in militaire dienst waren hun kaken stijf op elkaar omdat ze te maken hebben met geheimhoudingsplicht.
Wanneer ze ouder worden en niet meer in actieve dienst zijn, willen ze toch vaak vertellen wat ze hebben meegemaakt. Zo te zien, valt het volgende verhaal in die categorie.
De waarneming speelde in 1991 en wanneer je het verhaal van de getuige leest, wordt duidelijk waarom dat nu pas naar buiten komt.
De getuige is anoniem en vertelt het volgende verhaal:
In de nacht van 17 februari 1991 liep ik de nachtdienstwacht op de militaire basis Soesterberg in Nederland.
Samen met een andere cadet kwam ik om 3.00 uur in de ochtend aan bij de centrale parkeerplaats en zie een grote cirkel in de lucht, recht boven ons. Het had geen bepaalde vorm, maar alleen felle lichten die langzaam tegen de wijzers van de klok indraaiden. De lichtpunten zelf roteerden niet, maar de kleuren (veranderden) op een soort vloeibare manier.
Ik schat dat het object ongeveer 30 tot 50 meter in doorsnee was. Het eerste dat wij beiden dachten, was dat het hier ging om een luchtschip, een Zeppelin, zo eentje als GoodYear heeft met lichtschermen aan de zijkanten.
Dat dit ding heel erg laag hing en heel stil, maakte dit alles echter vreemd, heel erg vreemd.
Na een paar minuten begonnen de lichten sneller rond te draaien en plotseling steeg het object op met een onvoorstelbare snelheid richting westen.
Een paar seconden later voelden we een harde wind die om ons hoofd blies, zoals dat gebeurt met bijvoorbeeld een helikopter.
Als er een manier zou zijn om de snelheid van dit ding te beschrijven dan zou ik dat doen, maar die is er niet. We hadden een onbelemmerd uitzicht van ongeveer 30 kilometer. Dit ding legde die afstand vanuit stilstand af in ongeveer een tiende van een seconde.
Ik ken de luchtvaart en ik heb zelf vliegervaring en daarnaast ben ik erg technisch. Door dit soort acceleraties zou een mens veranderen in een vloeibare stof.
Jarenlang is dit een onbesproken hoofdstuk geweest in mijn leven. Ik wilde niet over dit voorval spreken omdat direct na het incident de andere cadet en ik om onverklaarbare redenen heel erg ziek werden. Dagenlang hadden we hoge koorts en moesten we overgeven. De ziekte was zo erg dat het hele voorval mij getraumatiseerd heeft en ik er jarenlang niet over heb kunnen praten.
Tot zover het verhaal van de getuige.
Het verslag sluit natuurlijk naadloos aan op de eerdere UFO-waarnemingen boven de voormalige vliegbasis Soesterberg. Voor een uitgebreid artikel hierover verwijzen wij naar Ufo wijzer.
Sommigen kunnen zich misschien nog wel de reportage van RTV Utrecht herinneren over de waarnemingen uit 1979.
Een ding lijkt duidelijk en dat is dat er zich heel wat meer afspeelde rondom deze voormalige NAVO basis dan ons ooit verteld zal worden. En wie weet, misschien komen door bovenstaande wel meer getuigen naar voren.
UFO Shoots Past Aircraft While On Runway, Cape Town, South Africa, Feb 27, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Shoots Past Aircraft While On Runway, Cape Town, South Africa, Feb 27, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: Feb 27, 2016 Location of sighting: Cape Town, South Africa A reader (Wesley Saunders) recently said he caught some footage of a UFO at Cape Town, South Africa, just 28 miles from where I reported the MH370 jet, and 15 miles from where I reported finding a UFO on Google map. What I'm saying is there is some mysterious stuff happing at Cape Town, and its boiling down to the fact that its alien central. This jaw dropping footage of a dark UFO drone shooting past a Shackleton aircraft, which was first introduced back in 1951, but this one looks much newer. Its a beautiful aircraft and its easy to see why aliens would be interested in seeing this massive old style plane fly, but I believe this to be a alien drone, which focuses on anything within a few kilometers of it. It especially focuses on aircraft, since its in the air and higher up, but for some unknown reason, this one made a low pass near the ground over this plane. Cocky alien drone! Scott C.

Are UFOs and aliens real? Have we been visited by aliens? Are they here still?
"It seems that all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin - flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence."
Former Chief of NASA Communications Systems Maurice Chatelain, Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space, 1979
Legends and artifacts dating back thousands of years have ignited man's imagination for decades to centuries with theories of ancient astronauts and alien beings from other planets. Sightings of "UFOs" or "unidentified flying objects" of varying sizes, shapes and other characteristics have been recorded around the world for hundreds of years, possibly thousands. In popular TV shows, it is claimed that "sky people" are purportedly recorded as having brought advanced culture to the hominids who have lived on this planet.
According to these legends, supposedly, this "first contact" had occurred previously, following cataclysm. Some stories relate this civilizing event to have happened several times during Earth's history. Geological, paleontological, anthropological and archaeological data reveal that there have indeed been many cataclysms on this earth, several on a global level, with climate change and mass extinction. The tales allegedly recount that after such a catastrophe, many surviving humans were reduced to the Stone Age but that more advanced humanoids descended from spacecraft and reestablished civilization. Are these claims true? Were these "sky people" aliens? Have there been "aliens" among us all along? Or is it all just an illusion?
"Have there been 'aliens' among us? Or is it all just an illusion?"
Skepticism is Warranted
In investigating the traditions, it becomes clear that there are a number of different types now compiled under the heading of legendary "sky people": humans, gods and, possibly, aliens. In our quest to discover the truth about this planet's history we find that "the gods" in general are not people or aliens but planetary bodies, such as the sun, moon, earth, planets, stars, etc., as well as elements in nature.
In this regard, TV shows like "Ancient Aliens" have failed to employ Occam's Razor in investigating what the ancient gods truly represented but have rushed to judgment to call them "aliens." For example, the Greek sun god Apollo is most assuredly just that: A sun god, not an alien flying through the sky in his chariot-spaceship.
"Apollo is a sun god, not an alien flying through the sky in his chariot-spaceship."
In addition, it is obvious from the legends that at least some of the "spacecraft" were of the probable previous earthly civilization, the "vimanas" and "flying machines" of lore. Other legends say that when the chaos descended these manmade "spacecraft" transported a number of inhabitants to elsewhere, which is speculated to be the moon, Mars, Venus or other destination, including inside the earth or under the sea. In inspecting these legends of "sky people," then, it would be prudent to suggest that, if they are true and not mythical, most if not all of these high-fliers were humans who may have developed the capacity to fly, to whatever extent.
There have also allegedly been found the skeletal remains of a number of bizarre humanoid and hominid races now unknown and extinct, indicating unexplained phenomena, although not necessarily "aliens" from another planet. In recent years, it has been asserted that there must have been many more hominid species than previously supposed, with the discovery of Homo floresiensis or "the hobbit," for example, in Indonesia, which thrived some 12,000 years ago, much later than was the supposed demise of such types of species. Obviously, none of these creatures is an "alien," however.
"None of these hominid creatures is an 'alien.'"
In the past, sightings of UFOs have been dismissed as the planet Venus or "swamp gas." Many sightings are explainable by natural or manmade phenomena, but some are not, and millions of people in the past few decades have reported seeing something that is clearly unidentifiable. Abduction by aliens has been ridiculed as hallucination, which, no doubt, it often is. But is it necessarily always?
The Belgium UFO Wave, Mexico City Eclipse and Phoenix Lights
From 1989 to 1990 in Belgium, a large object with lights was witnessed by hundreds of individuals, including police, air force personnel and air traffic controllers, as in the video below.
Skeptics claim that the Belgium UFO flap has been debunked and that the supposed "UFO" was a "polystyrene fake." Such explanations likely will fail to impress those who witnessed this purported hoax, including the policemen, air traffic controllers and pilots.
During an eclipse in Mexico City on July 11, 1991, a UFO was witnessed and filmed by hundreds of people as they gazed up at the sky.
A sighting similar to that in Belgium occurred in 1997, called the "Phoenix Lights," which has garnered a great deal of attention and was seen by a multitude of people, including air traffic personnel and major politicians. This story is so impressive that it is featured in National Geographic's "Secret History of UFOs," which provides a neutral and important chronicle of the various legends and sightings over the past several decades.
In this regard, the former governor of Arizona, Fife Symington, said of the Phoenix lights phenomenon, which he himself witnessed: "I suspect that, unless the Defense Department proves it otherwise, it was some form of an alien spacecraft."
"The former governor of Arizona said he suspects the Phoenix lights phenomenon was 'some form of an alien spacecraft.'"
As concerns possible alien abductions, NatGeoTV has a show called "Chasing UFOs," in which investigators travel around the country to interview witnesses and make observations. For example, "Chasing UFOs" highlights the story of purported UFO abductee Travis Walton, whose bizarre tale involved several witnesses to the UFO activity that preceded his alleged abduction. Although skeptics maintain doubt about it, Walton's story has stayed consistent throughout decades of investigation and exploration, including a sensationalized account in a major film, "Fire in the Sky" and such interviews as this one by NatGeo. I have communicated personally with Travis, and I am certainly in no position to label him a liar.
The "Experts" Speak
Over the past few decades, several excellent researchers have followed the lead of the fringe element and produced insights into the potential reality behind the tales and the sightings. Despite being ignored by mainstream media, these credentialed and credible experts have managed to evince effectively that UFOs are real, extraterrestrials are here and abductions are occurring, among other "alien" behavior. Some of these "experts," however, may be disinfo agents, and this field is rampant with fraud and hoaxes, so, again, caution must be taken.
In 2010, the respected scientist Dr. Michio Kaku put his considerable hat into the ring by stating definitely that some objects in the sky, about 5% of sightings, are clearly unidentified and that they behave oddly or "spookily." At that time, Dr. Kaku was discussing the book by researcher Leslie Kean entitled, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record, which Kaku says is "bound to set the gold standard for UFO research." Relates Kaku:
We're talking about generals, we're talking about airforce pilots, we're talking about governors of states, that claim, "Hey, this is beyond our understanding of the laws of physics."
"We're talking about generals, airforce pilots and governors of states."
Kean's book contains dozens of these sightings by numerous sober individuals with positions of authority.
Astronauts and UFOs
Among the authorities and professionals who have witnessed UFOs are NASA astronauts, including Buzz Aldrin, Gordon Cooper, Donald Slayton, Robert White, Joseph A. Walker, Eugene Cernan, Ed White, James McDivitt, James Lovell, Frank Borman, Neil Armstrong, Maurice Chatelain and Scott Carpenter.
An article in Discovery magazine entitled "Apollo Astronaut Chats About UFO, Alien Belief" recounts that Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell has discussed openly the much debated event at Roswell, New Mexico, and is a firm believer that the crash involved a spacecraft and aliens. Says Mitchell:
My major knowledge comes from what I call the old-timers, people who were at Roswell and subsequent who wanted to clear the things up and tell somebody credible even though they were under severe threats and things - this was back in the Roswell days. Having gone to the moon and being a local citizen out in the Roswell area some of them thought I would be a safe choice to tell their story to, which they did. Even though the government put real clamps on everybody, it got out anyhow.
Subsequent to that, I did take my story to the Pentagon - not NASA, but the Pentagon - and asked for a meeting with the Intelligence Committee of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and got it. And told them my story and what I know and eventually had that confirmed by the admiral that I spoke with, that indeed what I was saying was true....
...There was a UFO crash. There was an alien spacecraft.
"At Roswell, there was a UFO crash. There was an alien spacecraft."
Mitchell also discussed the Phoenix lights, saying "That wasn't our stuff," referring to human technology. The former astronaut further stated:
Three humongous craft flew over Phoenix, very slowly in the middle of the night that clearly were not - I happened to be on the phone with people out there when that happened and have had pictures of it - clearly those were not, to those of us who know aviation and spacecraft, clearly those were not local stuff, home-grown stuff.
In response to Mitchell's implications that the government is hiding these facts, it was reported:
Officials from NASA, however, were quick to play the comments down.
In a statement, a spokesman said: "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe.
In this regard, it is important as well to take into account skeptical arguments against the purported presence of aliens and UFOs manned by intelligent beings in our solar system, as in these articles: "List of UFO-related hoaxes"; the Skeptical Enquirer article (3.1, 1978) by James Oberg entitled, "Astronaut 'UFO' Sightings"; and any number of articles purporting todebunk the Roswell incident.
NASA aside, the stories coming from Russian cosmonauts have been around for decades, as this old "Sightings" program demonstrates.
Pilot Sightings
Space does not permit for all the accounts by pilots, both military and commercial, who have witnessed UFO phenomena of some sort. See, e.g., "Pilot Sightings":
There have been over 3,500 documented sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena by military, civilian and commercial airline pilots. These observations span the entire history of powered flight. Many of these cases come from declassified US government reports and investigations, international reports from official sources and the direct testimony of military and commercial pilots, air traffic controllers, and radar operators.
Governmental Testimony
As concerns high-ranking experts, in September 2005, a former Canadian defense minister under Pierre Trudeau made a stunning request to the parliament to begin public hearings concerning making peaceful relations with aliens, a diplomatic move called "Exopolitics." According to PRWEB:
On September 25, 2005, in a startling speech at the University of Toronto that caught the attention of mainstream newspapers and magazines, Paul Hellyer, Canadas Defence Minister from 1963-67 under Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Prime Minister Lester Pearson, publicly stated: "UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head."
"UFOs are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head."
White House and Rockefeller Initiative
In 1997, White House correspondent Sarah McClendon released an article about a group of government-employed scientists and technicians who state definitively that UFOs and aliens are real and are from other worlds. This group claimed that intimidation is still rampant and people are afraid to come forward with evidence that the phenomenon is genuine.
"A group of government-employed scientists and technicians state definitively that UFOs and aliens are real and are from other worlds."
McClendon stated that the Clinton administration had "many briefings on the subject."Laurance Rockefeller, well known for his comments on visitors from outer space, was the Clinton advisor on the subject. It is claimed that a number of other government officials, including Al Gore, have been privy to these briefings and documents.
To force the issue, McClendon reported, the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence ("CSETI") was collecting a million signatures on a petition for a congressional hearing.
Philip Corso
McClendon also related the experience of Lt. Col. Philip Corso, who claimed to have worked on the back-engineering of alien ship parts from the Roswell crash, stating definitively that this work led to the development of a number of high tech creations of the past 50 years. "Corso and hundreds of others who work or have worked in secret defense and scientific agencies, are willing to swear under oath that alien craft are repeatedly penetrating our airspace," McClendon reported.
"Corso and hundreds of others who work or have worked in secret defense and scientific agencies are willing to swear under oath that alien craft are repeatedly penetrating our airspace."
In another stunning statement, University of New Hampshire professor of chemical oceanography, Ted Loder, PhD, stated definitively that the government is engaged with aliens, that there is "an interstellar war" going on, and that this is all being covered up by the brainwashing of the masses. "And hoaxers who build crop circles and debunk UFO sightings are actually paid off by the covert organization," Loder says.
"Aliens are allegedly making themselves known to wake up the populace because, 'We're polluting ourselves to death.'"
Loder also opines that the aliens are making themselves more known to try to wake up the populace because, "We're polluting ourselves to death." He claims that the U.S. government, using "Star Wars" and, presumably, other methods, has been able to shoot down UFOs. Loder also points out that by the government keeping this information secret, humanity is prevented from using alien technology that is free and clean, such that the environment is also suffering from this cover-up. He further declares that humankind is going to have to evolve in order to join any cosmic community, and that its attitudes towards religion, race, etc., will have to change.
Vatican Spokesman and Effect on Religion
In addition, after centuries of being occupied by "aliens" (sarcasm), the Vatican, represented by insider Monsignor Balducci, has appeared on national television in Italy to state that extraterrestrial contact is real. Balducci has said that extraterrestrials "are NOT demonic, they are NOT due to psychological impairment, they are NOT a case of entity attachment, but these encounters deserve to be studied carefully."
"The Vatican has appeared on national television in Italy to state that extraterrestrial contact is real."
Various researchers over the decades have claimed that the Vatican has been quite aware of "alien" presences for centuries, so this "admission" would not be exactly a surprise. What also is not a surprise is that, despite the probability of extraterrestrial life somewhere in the universe, the Catholic Church will cling to its claim that a Jewish carpenter "always remains the center of the Universe..." No worries at all for those who have been concerned that the revelation of the existence of alien life in the cosmos would somehow affect Earth's religions in a detrimental way! It seems that humans will always find a way to remain entrenched in their conditioning, no matter how strong the evidence against it.
"Until human beings reject their egocentric interpretations of the cosmos as found in myopic religions, they will not be viewed as 'intelligent life' by any possible extraterrestrials."
Yet, until human beings reject their egocentric interpretations of the cosmos as found in myopic religions, they will not be viewed as "intelligent life" by any possible extraterrestrials. As Lloyd Graham says, in Deceptions and Myths of the Bible:
Recently I heard a religious group discussing this, and one of them said if ever space travel became a possibility they would carry the Gospel message to the other planets - some of which may be billions of years in advance of us. What would the beings there think of it? Would they not be surprised to learn the mother of their Creator was a Jewish girl by the name of Mary, and that their world was created by her Son saying Let it be? No, if ever we go visiting cosmically we had better leave our provincialisms at home.
Since this was written, cosmic visiting is underway. Men can now go to the moon, and yet believe in Genesic Creation; they can transplant hearts but only "with the help of God," as one stated. Can we not see that this is but our way of thinking, and that the beings on other worlds never heard of this God, His mother, or His word-of-mouth creation?
"Would not beings on other planets be surprised to learn the mother of their Creator was a Jewish girl by the name of Mary and that their world was created by her Son saying, 'Let it be?'"
The comment about stubbornness applies to hardcore skeptics as well, who may feel very wise in rejecting outright the idea of any sort of UFO phenomenon. The facts are that UFOs - i.e., unidentified flying objects - do exist, and that chances are there is life elsewhere in the universe. The questions are: Are any UFOs "spacecraft" powered by "aliens?" And, has alien life thus found its way here, to this dinky little speck of space dust in the middle of nowhere?
Forget About Worshipping Aliens
It sounds great at first to think that there may be aliens among us, at least in the New Age arena, where the "aliens" always claim to be trying to help but never do much of anything. If such good-guy aliens are around, they certainly should not be worshipped as gods, anymore than cultures with advanced technology should be worshipped by inhabitants of jungles or remote islands.
"If aliens are around, they should not be worshipped as gods, anymore than cultures with advanced technology should be worshipped by inhabitants of jungles or remote islands."
Any "aliens" who may be lurking about on this planet must also be questioned as to why, if they are so advanced and evolved, they have allowed such a destructive scenario as what has been happening on Earth for the past several thousand years. They should not be easily let off the hook, not even if they claim "prime directive of non-interference." Who makes up such rules anyway? Why not interfere? Why not assist? Why allow people to crash into mountaintops and then cannibalize each other to survive?
"If aliens are real, why not interfere in human life? Why not assist? Why allow people to crash into mountaintops and then cannibalize each other to survive?"
If we were visiting another culture upon Earth and happened to stumble into internecine warfare, where children were being killed or some other atrocity being committed, would we stand back and say, "Oh, I can only watch as that young girl is burned by Napalm, because I'm under the order of prime directive?" That lazy and callous attitude of non-interference is one of the major problems on this planet, so why should we consider "aliens" who would behave in the same manner to be "advanced gods" worthy of worship?
While we may never need to castigate any alleged good-guy ETs who may eventually make themselves publicly known, we must also not revere them more highly than ourselves; for, it is we who have suffered as "spiritual soldiers" on this madcap planet, with little if any of their assistance. We will not recognize them as saviors, although we will certainly graciously welcome their assistance. Yet, if it were true that they have been engaged in stellar wars to keep this or any other planet safe from the bad guys, then we would certainly hail them as heroes, just as we would any human who puts her or his life on the line for the greater good. And then we would incorporate them into our lives as guests and members of the cosmic family. We would also express our gratitude that they have finally revealed themselves to be real, such that humankind is freed at last from its "island madness" and now knows that it is not alone and is not responsible for the maintenance of the entire universe.
Caution is Necessary
In addition, it is very wise to keep in mind that, while it is alleged that various national governments are covering up the UFO/alien phenomenon, it is also suggested thatsomeone in "the government" is using the phenomenon to manipulate the masses in some bizarre and ungainly manner. Within this alleged mind-control operation are "UFO cults," such as URANTIA and others that espouse mystical mumbo-jumbo.
In Messengers of Deception, French scientist Dr. Jacques Vallee, who served as the inspiration for the French scientist Francois Truffaut in Steven Spielberg's popular film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," cautions about the problems with the UFO paradigm:
Racist philosophy. The pernicious suggestion that some of us on the Earth are of extraterrestrial descent and therefore constitute a "higher race." The dangers inherent in this belief should be obvious to anybody who hasn't forgotten the genocides of World War II, executed on the premise that some races were somehow 'purer' and better than others. (Let us note in passing that Adamski's Venusian... and many other alleged extreterrestrials were all tall Aryan types with long blond hair.)
Technical impotence. The statement that the birth of civilization on this planet resulted not from the genius and ability of mankind, but from repeated assistance by higher beings. Archaeologists and anthropologists are constantly aware of the marvelous skill with which the "Ancient Engineers" (to use L. Sprague de Camp's phrase) developed the tools of civilization on all continents. No appeal to superior powers is necessary to explain the achievements of early culture. The belief expressed by the contactees reveals a tragic lack of trust on their part in human ability.
Social utopia. Fantastic economic theories, including the belief that a "world economy" can be created overnight, and that democracy should be abolished in favor of utopian systems, usually dictatorial in their overlook.
"The belief that aliens birthed civilization on this planet reveals a tragic lack of trust in human ability."
Vallee's book also asks, "Is there an international UFO conspiracy? Are human programmers manipulating the UFO phenomenon?" To these questions, the late, great Jim Keith answers "yes," in his book Saucers of the Illuminati, which reveals that, indeed, human puppetmasters are behind much of the phenomenon. Keith recounts Vallee's work:
A remarkable UFO group was contacted by Jacques Vallee in Paris, France. The group is called the Order of Melchizedek, and it uses the Star of David for its emblem, and for its program espouses a one world government and the doing away with money and religion - except for the UFO-oriented sort of religion, I would imagine. The Order is cabalistic in its mystical practices, the Qabalah being an ancient form of Jewish mystical cosmology, a philosophy also employed by other occult groups such as the OTO and the Freemasons. Vallee notes the curious number of organizations that the head of the French Order of Melchizedek fronts, including the Front for Christian Liberation, Jesus People Europe, Jesus Revolution, the Charismatic Christian, the Christian Socialist Party, and Jew and Arab movements. Here revelant cross-currents include cabalism, the Order of Melchizedek, and the Star of David.
In this case, it appears that the same old terrestrial powerbrokers are up to their old tricks. The Order of Melchizedek, in fact, is named in the Bible as the highest priesthood, of whichAbraham and Jesus are made priests under Melchizedek. Therefore, "Melchizedek" is the highest figure in the universe under God, immediately conveying in the minds of believers ultimate authority. However, Melchizedek or "Righteous Molech" is demonstrably amythical character, the Molech or Moloch of the Old Testament, the god to whom children were sacrificed in burnt offering or holocaust by Phoenicians, Canaanites and Israelites, remade into the "high priest."
What Does It All Mean?
What all this rumination means is that there is some unexplained phenomenon going on. Despite the theories put forth by a number of individuals, the "evidence" of extraterrestrial contact dating back many thousands of years, including legends and bizarre artifacts, is very slippery and uncertain. The legends, in fact, are highly mythologized and in general cannot serve as "history." In more modern times, such stories become more straightforward and do seem to reflect encounters with actual, third-dimensional entities who could be termed "aliens."
"The 'evidence' of extraterrestrial contact dating back many thousands of years is very slippery and uncertain."
If any such phenomenon was occurring in antiquity, it is unlikely to have been much different than what we are experiencing today, which is very "fringey" and on the periphery of our reality. In other words, aliens were not landing en masse and mating with humans, building our edifices and other behaviors ascribed to them in the "ancient astronaut theory." Any accounts from antiquity of UFO sightings and other interactions likely would be much as the tales we hear today, again very peripheral, sketchy and nearly impossible to verify. In this regard, it would appear that supposed UFO sightings in antiquity indeed were recognized as something quite separate from the myths of gods, as can be seen from this "List of reported UFO sightings." Note that said list does not include any ancient myths, most assuredly not the "Anunnaki" or other familiar figures of religion in antiquity.
In my delving into this subject, the supposed "chariots of the gods" artifacts turn out to be unsustainable as concerns "aliens," because the Occam's Razor analysis reveals them to have mundane explanations. One fact I can reiterate is that the ancient gods were not aliens; these mythical figures are the personified results of thousands of years of observations of the natural world, including celestial bodies and earthly forces, such as the sun, moon, planets, stars, constellations, water, wind and so on.
"The ancient gods were not aliens but the personifications of the sun, moon, planets, stars, constellations, water, wind and so on."
Whether or not this phenomenon is real - and the many thousands of reports every year indicate that at least UFOs are "real," in the sense that a certain percentage of them are indeed unidentified flying objects - it has most definitely been seized upon by terrestrialbeings, i.e., humans, within the government or private sector who have used it to manipulate and play with the masses. Such behavior, no doubt, will continue, and the alleged reality of aliens will not be definite until they make themselves known, concretely, without all the shadowy nonsense. In the meantime, and if such an event ever occurs, these entities do not deserve worship of any sort, or even an amiable nod, until they prove they are friends of humankind.

Ham Radio Operator Hears American Airlines Pilot Report UFO near Nephi, Utah
Ham Radio Operator Hears American Airlines Pilot Report UFO near Nephi, Utah
Ham Radio Operator Hears American Airlines Pilot Report UFO near Nephi, Utah
Case File Information
Date of Event / Case File: 01/14/2016
Case File Details
Location of Sighting: Near Nephi, Utah
Date of Sighting: January 14, 2016 Time of Sighting: Between 12:12 and 12:13 AM MST
DOPPLER RADAR PAINT NEAR LOCATION & TIME OF UFO SIGHTING.
Description:
This case was reported to me by Erica Lukes who is the director of MUFON for the state of Utah. She knows a radio show host who was scanning communications between aircraft and the FAA shortly after midnight on January 14, 2016. He heard a conversation between an airline pilot and Air Route Traffic Control. The pilot reported seeing an extremely long bright object that he estimated a mile wide to his right. The air traffic controller told him that he was looking in the direction of Nephi, Utah. Apparently the air traffic controller told the pilot that the object was not detected on radar. The object appeared to keep pace with the aircraft.
A Freedom of Information (FOIA) request was written to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). About six weeks later we received a response to the FOIA. The response consisted of radar returns, voice tapes and tower logs. The FAA is to be commended for their full and timely response to our request.
Research showed that the aircraft was American Airlines Flight Number 434 which was enroute from San Francisco, CA to Philadelphia, PA. The actual sighting time was between 12:12 and 12:13 AM MST on January 14, 2016. We were able to find segments of the conversation on the Air Traffic Control archives website, but much of conversation was deleted. One could hear the controller telling the pilot that Nephi, Utah was off to his right and the pilot acknowledging the transmission. However, the UFO report was not on the tape. The ham radio operator did not record the conversation so the “UFO report” could not be heard. He heard the conversation on the frequency of 127.95 mhz.
RADAR FLIGHT PATH OF AA FLIGHT 434 OVER UTAH JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT ON JAN 14, 2016.
Update: March 4, 2016. The voice tape obtain from the FAA (see above) does fill in some of the transmission missing from the tape from the Air Traffic Control archives website. The only thing not confirmed from the original transmission was the estimated size of the object. The airline crew described the object as a large orange square.
The aircraft was flying at 31,000 feet and 530 knots at the time of sighting. The aircraft was headed in a ENE direction. The radar shows a “dense” area of returns at approximately the 2 o’clock position. These returns are quite isolated and very numerous. They are likely not birds, angels, ground targets or anomalous propagation.
The time is from 12:08 to 12:15 AM which is the time that the crew saw the object(s). The map shows a large area of returns near and to the East of I-15. The returns are not traffic as the radar is too far away to detect ground targets.
The “zoom out” map shows the concentration of radar returns just to the SW of Nephi. This is in the position and time observed by airline crew. Note that most of the radar map is devoid of returns except in the area immediately to the SW of Nephi.
The Doppler radar map for Salt Lake City was also obtained. The map does show some returns to the Northeast of Nephi at the time of the sighting. The radar was operating in “clear air mode” which means that the gain is turned up making it more sensitive. (See radar map above.)
Figure 5 above shows the location of the 2 radar sites used in the analysis. One radar (Cedar City, UT) is about 155 miles to the SSW of sighting location. The other radar (Francis Peak, UT) is about 90 miles to the north. These returns were likely true objects and probably quite large given the distance from the radar sites.
RADAR SHOWING PATH OF AIRCRAFT & UNKNOWN RADAR RETURNS.
Preliminary Interpretation of Voice Tapes and Radar Data:
More analysis is being conducted for this case. My preliminary impressions follow:
1. Pilot reports a large unusual orange square of lights while flying at 31,000 feet. 2. The radar shows a dense area of returns at the exact position and time reported by the pilot. 3. These dense returns are well removed from radar sites. The closest site was about 90 miles to the north at Francis Peak, Utah. The other radar was located at Cedar City, Utah about 155 miles to the SSW. (See below) 4. These returns are not due to military operations. There are several restricted military operations areas (MOA’s) in Utah, but Nephi is well outside of these areas. 5. These returns are not drones. Regular drones would not be likely detected at the long distances from the radar sites. Military drones would be detected, but they would not be in the area. (See below.) 6. These returns are likely not due to anomalous propagation. Anomalous propagation generally starts closer to the radar antenna. 7. Birds, weather targets would not be detected in an isolated area that far from the radar sites. 8. Radar angels are sometimes observed. These are false targets, but there would not be that many of them that far removed from the radar sites. 9. Of course keep in mind that the pilot crew saw a large square area of orange lights so the radar and observation “corroborate” each other.

All across the world, we can find many amazing monuments, some gigantic, some a bit smaller, but many of them have one thing in common: “They have been carved using cutting edge technology”! A technology which we cannot replicate today.
The Great Sphinx
It has no inscriptions and there are tunnels and passages leading into this ancient monument which according to many researchers predates the ancient Egyptian Civilization.
This extraordinary ancient structure which measures 20 meters in height and 57 meters in length stands as the proud ‘guardian’ of the Great Pyramid and its companions in the Giza Plateau.
The enigmas surrounding the Sphinx are many, researchers have no idea who built the Sphinx, what for, how long it took to complete, and one of the most mysterious characteristics regarding the Sphinx is its original face and the unusual size of the head compared to the body.
According to a study presented at the International Conference of Geoarchaeology and Archaeomineralogy held in Sofia, authors Manichev Vjacheslav I. (Institute of Environmental Geochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) and Alexander G.
Parkhomenko (Institute of Geography of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) propose that the great sphinx is in fact around 800000 years old. Yes, 800000 years old!!!
Puma Punku
Situated 45 miles west of La Paz high in the Andes Mountains, lay the mysterious ancient ruins of Puma Punku. The megalithic stones found here are among the largest on the planet, measuring up to 26 feet long and weighing more than 100 tons each.
Puma Punku is a large temple complex or monument group that is part of the Tiwanaku Site in Bolivia.
The stones of Baalbek
This is one of the most amazing sights in the ancient world – the three 800-ton blocks of the mighty Trilithon, situated in a wall of the great acropolis of Baalbek in Lebanon. Michel Alouf, the former curator of the ruins, once wrote of the Trilithon: “in spite of their immense size, they [the Trilithon stones] are so accurately placed in position and so carefully joined, that it is almost impossible to insert a needle between them. No description will give an exact idea of the bewildering and stupefying effect of these tremendous blocks on the spectator”
So just how does current archaeology explain the existence of such immense artefacts? Officially Baalbek was built by the Romans in 27 BC, but folklore, from the indigenous inhabitants; speak of ancient giants in the area. The giants, called Titans by some, not the Romans, it was said, were responsible for the original construction. After all, the largest weights that the Romans could effectively manage were nowhere near the size of the Baalbek monoliths. To put it in perspective, the relatively light, 323-ton Laterano obelisk caused a decades-long transportation project from Egypt to Rome. The largest stone at Stonehenge weighs around 45 tons. Baalbek stones are over 36 times as heavy…
Archaeologists typically overlook the fact that experiments with stones much lighter than 800 tons have crushed the wooden rollers. And even if such a method was feasible, it would, by one estimate, have required the combined pulling power of 40,000 men to move the Stone of the South. Incredible indeed!!
Easter Island
The world was shocked to discover the famous Easter Island heads actually had bodies attached. Pictures have emerged showing their previously hidden torsos are also covered with intricate “tattoos”. These include crescents carved on the backs of the towering monoliths, which academics say represent the canoes of the Polynesians who made them..
Early European explorers received the impression that the Easter Island statues were idols, but no Moai is known to have borne the name of a divine personality, such as the creator god Makemake. All were known by the general name of aringa ora, the ‘living faces’ of the past. Captain Cook’s party heard the term ariki (chief) applied to some, while others had nicknames such as ‘Twisted Neck’, ‘Tattooed One’, and even ‘Bad Smell’ (due to the upturned nostrils).
The islanders have a legend that the statues were moved to the platforms and raised upright by the use of Mana, or mind power. Either the god Makemake, or priests or chiefs commanded them to walk or to float through the air, and according to one legend, use was made of a finely crafted stone sphere, 75 cm (2.5 ft) in diameter, called Te Pito Kura (‘the golden navel’ or ‘the navel of light’), to focus the Mana.
Legends about the use of levitation in the construction of megalithic monuments are found all over the world.
U.I.P SUMMARY –
We could go on for much longer showing you many evidence of ancient technology, there are so many all around us! The power of levitation using vibration does exist and has been used for centuries; obviously the elite will not share that secret with the people. Our science still can’t cut, move and fit huge rocks as well as the 12-foot ETs who came to Earth for gold 400,000 years ago from the planet Nibiru. The Nibirans cut stones as large as 10 tons with huge cutting tools run on power pulled from the earth. Yet you may ask who built the Sphinx 800000 years ago? My wildest guess would be a different race of aliens. There are very powerful ancient alien secrets hidden in 4 countries on this planet: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Iran…No wonder the powers that be (Controlled by another race of aliens) have used phony excuses to invade and destroy 3 of them, apart from in Afghanistan, they have been unsuccessful to find anything yet.
According to the best estimates by astronomers from around the world, there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe. As for the parts of the universe we can’t see? Who knows. Within these billions (if not trillions) of galaxies are billions (if not trillions) of stars… Quite mind-altering, isn’t it? It is literally beyond our ability to comprehend.
1. New research coming from a team of international scientists led by Professor Heidi Jo Newberg of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute suggests that the Milky Way Galaxy is at least 50 percent larger than what is commonly believed. These estimates are based on new findings that reveal our galaxy is contoured into multiple concentric ripples. This means that the Milky Way Galaxy is not 100,000 light years across, but at least 150,000 light years across.(source)
2. At the center of the galaxy is a giant black hole which is billions of times as massive as the sun. Just imagine that… Here are a few images that will help you put that fact into perspective. Scientists believe that this black hole weighs as much as 4 million of our suns put together. Black holes are some of the strangest and most fascinating objects found in outer space. Scientists don’t know what they are, but theories range from portals to other dimensions and more. The first black hole was discovered in 1971. Our galaxy is hurtling through space, spinning around a giant black hole, while our sun and solar system travel with it. The solar system is travelling at speeds of approximately 515,000 miles per hour. Even at this speed, our solar system would take about 230 million years to travel all the way around the galaxy.
3. As mentioned in point #2, our galaxy is hurtling through the universe, and it’s not the only one. There are billions of galaxies out there, all doing the same thing. This massive collection of stars is constantly crashing into one another.
4. Our galaxy is home to (possibly) a number of Earth-like planets. Quite a few Earth-like planets have already been discovered, but a group of researchers from Australia and Denmark recently calculated that there are hundreds of billions of Earth-like plants in the Milky Way Galaxy:
Using NASA data, astronomers have calculated for the first time that in our galaxy alone, there are at least 8.8 billion stars with Earth-size planets in the habitable temperature zone. (source)
It’s important to note that not all planets have to be Earth-like in order to support extraterrestrial life. Who knows what conditions are required for other lifeforms to exist? Their biological makeup could be completely different from ours, and it seems like pure hubris to assume otherwise.
The general, overwhelming scientific consensus is no, we are not alone (source), but not all agree that intelligent extraterrestrial life is, and has been, visiting our planet. That being said, many prestigious scientists, astronauts, academics, and more believe that the evidence for extraterrestrial visitation is quite solid. You can read more about that here.
5.Apparently, there is a strong possibility that the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will collide in about 2 billion years. That collision will last approximately 5 billion years.(The Milky Way [volume in Explore the Universe encyclopedic set]. 2010. Chicago, IL: World Book.)
6. Many scientists believe that the Milky Way is one of the oldest galaxies in the universe. Estimates place the formation of our galaxy at approximately 13.6 billion years ago, and the ‘Big Bang’ was said to occur 13.7 billion years ago.(Trammel, Howard K. 2010. Galaxies (A True Book). New York, NY: Scholastic Inc.)
7. Approximately 90 percent of the Milky Way is invisible. Stars and dust make up only 10 percent of the total mass of the galaxy, so where is the other 90 percent? Whatever it is, it does have mass, and scientists are calling it Dark Matter.(source)
There was an interesting announcement this weekend (October 30, 2015) about a new project called UFO Detection and TrAcking, aka UFODATA. The project’s team says it wants to make the study of UFO phenomena “a systematic, rigorous science” and to design, build and deploy a global network of automated surveillance stations that will monitor the skies for UFOs full-time.
Although it’s organized as a separate, all-volunteer, nonprofit organization, UFODATA appears to be an offshoot of the Center for UFO Studies. That center was founded in the 1970s by J. Allen Hynek, the professional astronomer who coined the phrase close encounters. Hynek had earlier been drafted to serve as a consultant to a U.S. Air Force study, begun in 1952, to investigate unidentified flying objects. This was the famous Project Blue Book. Hynek’s bio at the Center for UFO studies says he was at first skeptical about the UFO phenomenon, but later, it seems, he became profoundly curious. When he established the Center for UFO Studies in 1973, Hynek wanted to bring together scientists and other highly-trained technical experts, who would work to solve what he saw as the UFO enigma.
Now, 42 years later, UFODATA wants to do exactly the same thing, with the help of a big new idea.

Mark Rodeghier, UFODATA board member and scientific director and president of the Center for UFO Studies, a position he’s held since Hynek’s death in 1986, said in an October 30 statement:
It has become clear that any breakthrough in our understanding of the UFO phenomenon will require a break from the past. Witness testimony, photos and videos, and government documents have taken us only so far; instead, we need to record and study UFOs directly, as other sciences do with their own specific objects.
Of course, this is a daunting task, but it is made conceivable by advances in technology, software, communication capabilities, and power sources.
Another prominent board member is Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record. In October, Leslie Kean made a couple of pre-announcements in print leading up to this weekend’s official announcement from the UFODATA project itself. One – published October 14, 2015 – was huffingtonpost.com on what she called the launch of a new UFO science. Also in October, 2015, Kean wrote at pyschologytomorrowmagazine.com on the UFO taboo, saying:
The subject of UFOs is not a simple issue to address. It is one of the most misunderstood scientific problems we face today – so much so, that many scientists do not even consider it to be in the category of a problem worth studying. There is a great deal of misinformation and prejudice against it, confusion about what a UFO actually is (and isn’t), and attitudes of ridicule have permeated the culture for decades.
In fact, taking UFOs seriously has become taboo.
I felt that taboo, too, before deciding to write this post.
The great majority of UFO reports can be easily identified as misperceived stars and planets, balloons, other atmospheric phenomena, or birds or insects in cell phone photos, among many terrestrial sources. The UFODATA project instead is interested in the small, but potentially significant, remainder of reports that cannot be so easily explained.
Importantly, the project does not assume that these unexplained reports are caused by extraterrestrial intelligence; the project has the goal of simply learning more about the characteristics of truly puzzling sightings and following the science, wherever it leads.
Here’s the big new idea. UFODATA wants to deploy a crowd-funded global network of automated surveillance stations that would monitor the skies continuously for UFOs. They would place them in known UFO hotspots such as those in the western United States and in Hessdalen, Norway. As unidentified objects are spotted, the team then will collect as much physical data about them as possible. They want to know, for example, the type and intensity of radiation being emitted by the UFO and its surroundings, and how that light might change over the time it’s being observed. They speak of the simultaneous use of:
… photometric, spectroscopic, magnetometric and radio-spectrometric (VLF-ELF and UHF) instrumentation.
An interesting aspect of this project is the scale. The UFODATA team is talking about:
… taking advantage of the internet and new surveillance technologies to build an entire network of stations that can take multiple sophisticated measurements simultaneously.
On its website, UFODATA says the cost of developing a prototype station, including not just the equipment, camera, and sensors, but also software, construction and testing, will be “several tens of thousands of dollars.” Subsequent stations will cost less.
The team says its first goal is to raise enough money to design and construct one prototype station, and they hope that prototype phase will last one year. After that, the team wants to deploy the first station and begin construction of as many additional stations as funding permits.
The project, at this time, is not funded. But the team hopes it can use crowd-funding to solve that problem. UFODATA’s FAQ page says:
Regrettably, because of the authoritative taboo on taking UFOs seriously, official funding for the systematic study of UAP is essentially non-existent, in both the USA and Europe. This was true in the past and is still true today. So even if the scientific community was open and willing to examine scientific evidence for UFOs – and we know that some scientists are – it takes resources to do the research to provide that evidence.
Crowd-funding has proven to be an invaluable tool to raise money for projects that, for whatever reason, are not deemed worthy of research grants from the authorities. We know millions of people worldwide are very interested in UFOs, and would like to find out what they are, just as we would.
The team says it plans to launch its first crowd-funding campaign in a few months, but in the meantime you can donate.

Bottom line: UFODATA wants to make UFO studies a science. It wants to design, build and deploy a global network of automated surveillance stations to watch for UFOs full-time.

20 Percent of Universe’s Normal Matter Exists in Dark Cosmic Voids
20 Percent of Universe’s Normal Matter Exists in Dark Cosmic Voids
IN BRIEF
The Illustris simulation recently revealed that galaxies are filaments stretched out over enormous voids, wherein supermassive black holes send vast swaths of matter.

The most recent measurements of what makes up the universe has shown that normal matter come in at just 4.9%. To be clear, this means that planet, stars, and everything that we see around us is less than 5% of the universe.
So, where is the rest of it?
Well, dark matter comes in at 26.8% and there’s 68.3% dark energy. Now, new measurements add to our understanding of the scale of the universe and what it is made of.
A team of scientists from the Institute of Astro- and Particle Physics at the University of Innsbruck, Austria has published a paper in the Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society that finds that enormous voids which galaxies are stretched around comprise about 20% of the mass of the universe, with galaxies making up just 1/500th of its volume.
The team did this with the help of data from the Illustris cosmological simulation project, which simulates the evolution and formation of galaxies. The simulation shows that galaxies are like filaments stretched around large voids, resembling a “cosmic web.” The researchers used this data to measure the mass and volume of these galaxies.
In the simulation, the universe is portrayed as a cube that measures about 350 light-years on all sides, and is roughly 12 million years old. I
The researchers found that, while 50% of the universe’s total mass resides within the galaxies, it is compressed into a volume that’s only 0.2% of the universe. 44% of the mass is found in the enveloping filaments, which means the remaining 6% of universal mass resides in the vast voids that make up 80% of the volume.
Into the Void
The team of researchers also found that about 20% of normal matter may have been transported into the void. They suspect this may have been caused by supermassive black holes. In other words, 20% of the universe may rest in expansive, unpopulated black voids—proverbial dead zones.
When matter that falls into the black holes, it gets converted into energy, that energy is then transferred to surrounding gas, leading to a massive outflow of matter that stretches out for thousands of light-years past the host galaxy.
Research team leader Dr. Markus Haider explains that the “simulation, one of the most sophisticated ever run, suggests that the black holes at the centre of every galaxy are helping to send matter into the loneliest places in the universe. What we want to do now is refine our model, and confirm these initial findings.”
Illustris is continuing to run new simulations as researchers seek to understand black hole output and the matter in the void.
Huge UFO Just Entered Our Solar System — Astronomers Release Images
Huge UFO Just Entered Our Solar System — Astronomers Release Images
There was excitement in the online UFO community earlier this week after UFO hunters announced that images captured by amateur astronomers show a giant alien structure that entered our solar system very recently.
The giant alien structure, which was spotted approaching Jupiter’s moon Europa, resembles an interstellar mothership or an intergalactic UFO armada, according to UFO hunters.
Online UFO hunters claim that the images captured recently by two amateur astronomers working independently suggest that a major expeditionary effort mounted by a technologically advanced spacefaring alien race from a distant planetary system may have arrived in our solar system.
The alien UFO mega structure, believed to be either a giant alien mothership or a fleet of UFOs, was allegedly spotted exploring our section of the galaxy near Jupiter’s moon Europa.
The evidence, according to YouTube UFO hunters Secureteam10, comes from a series of imagescaptured by Louis Read, an experienced amateur sky watcher from the city of Bristol in the UK.
The images, uploaded to YouTube on February 18, 2016, by Secureteam10, allegedly show a massive artificial structure approaching Europa, one of planet Jupiter’s 67 moons and the sixth largest moon in our solar system, which was discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610.
The amateur astronomer captured the incredible images using a Canon 650D camera with a 7D-300mm telescopic lens mounted on a tripod in his private backyard garden in Bristol, UK.
Hours after receiving Louis Read’s images and uploading them to YouTube, Secureteam10 announced to their Twitter followers that they had received new images from a separate source that appear to confirm the authenticity of the first set of images. Secureteam10 uploaded the alleged new images to their Twitter account (see images below).
Same object spotted near Jupiter from different source who just sent in this image, along with the original.
According to Secureteam10, this is the first time that the structure has been observed near planet Jupiter and its system of satellites. It is also the first time it has been observed in our solar system.
Louis Read was so astonished when he spotted the unusual structure that he decided to send the images to Secureteam10 for a second opinion.
After Secureteam10 received the images and conducted investigations, they concluded that the mysterious structure approaching giant planet Jupiter and its moon system was clearly an anomaly.
The UFO researchers consulted Solar System Scope, an online 3D simulation of our solar system in real time, and confirmed that the object was a foreign body, or more precisely, a massive artificial structure that entered our solar system only recently.
UFO researchers also suggested that the artificial structure was either a single massive alien UFO mothership or a UFO fleet exploring our section of the galaxy.
Secureteam10 believes that amateur astronomers may have captured on camera proof of alien visitors to our solar system.
And going solely by the evidence of research conducted in recent years by Secureteam10, alien visitors to our solar system have a fascination with planet Jupiter and its satellites, especially Europa.
Recently, UFO researchers reported spotting a massive blue UFO in the vicinity of Jupiter and its moon (see YouTube below).
And not only alien explorers are fascinated with the icy world of Europa. Europa is also of special interest to NASA scientists.
Scientists believe that Europa’s icy world, with a tenuous atmosphere composed mostly of life-supporting oxygen, has an icy subterranean ocean that could support extraterrestrial life.
Based on suspicions that Europa’s icy oceans may contain alien life forms, the European Space Agency (ESA) has plans for a Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) mission scheduled to launch in 2022. It is hoped that humans would encounter the first examples of known extraterrestrial life on Europa.
UFO hunters claim that the apparent fascination of alien visitors to our solar system with Europa could be due to the presence of life on it. Some UFO hunters believe that alien visitors from other star systems may have established a base in Europa’s icy underwater world.

UFO Researcher Nick Pope Is the British Fox Mulder and His Country Needs Him Now
UFO Researcher Nick Pope Is the British Fox Mulder and His Country Needs Him Now
The former lead UFO researcher for the UK Ministry of Defense knows that his government isn't always forthcoming, but isn't reaching for a tin foil hat.
Back in the early ‘90s, when The X-Files first came to television, Nick Pope could use the show to explain his job. He had become — much to his own surprise — the British Ministry of Defense’s lead investigator on UFO reports and sightings, a title he toted around between archives and active cases for four years. After that, he went private, and emerged as one of the world’s leading experts on UFO research — which is why Pope is going to have a busy month. The British government is in the midst of declassifying a ton of different MoD documentsand Pope has stepped in between his government and the conspiracy minded to talk about what this expansive archive really represents and what “unexplained” occurrences really mean.
“I’m a firm believer we shouldn’t read too much into the ‘unexplained,’” he says. Pope is — if he must be classified — a skeptic.
To understand how Pope came by his informed skepticism and how Britain came by an archive of material on UFOs, it’s important to understand the history of “unexplained” aerial phenomena. Back in the 1950s, after modern aviation finally established a foothold in society, UFO sightings began to seep into the media and the minds of the public. The Roswell incident in 1947 certainly didn’t help to quell suspicions and hysteria. But it wasn’t civilians reporting sightings here and there — it began with air force pilots seeing them and tracking them on radar.
“Clearly there was official interest in anything unidentified in our airspace — though the thinking was that we were more likely to be dealing with Russians than Martians,” Pope tells Inverse.
The U.S. moved forward to investigate the strange lights in the sky (resulting in the start of Project Blue Book in 1952). Not wanting to fall behind, the British began their own UFO investigations as well. Fast forward to the 1991: After six years in other positions at the MoD, Pope was assigned to work on UFO investigations.
“I had no prior interest in the subject and my only exposure to the topic had been watching the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind when I was a kid,” he says.
Once he started following up on reports, Pope found there was actually something to them. Most sightings, of course, had pretty conventional explanations — usually ordinary objects or natural events that were simply misidentified. “But every now and then,” he says, “an interesting case came along that gave us pause for thought.” Pope took advantage of his new position by digging into the archive of past reports. He found that there had been some decidedly odd occurrences over the years. “No proof of anything extraterrestrial, but, it wasn’t all swamp gas either,” he says.
Among the strangest and most interesting cases Pope had the pleasure of working was a series of UFO sightings by over a hundred different witnesses — many of them law enforcement and military personnel. Dubbed the Cosford Incident — patrols at the Royal Air Force base at Cosford reported seeing a UFO comprised of two white lights and a faint red glow — the event triggered an investigation and Pope found that there was “no defense significance” to the UFOs sighted and also no reasonable explanation for what people had seen. In his briefing to the head of his division, Pope wrote:
“It seems that an unidentified object of unknown origin was operating in the UK Air Defence Region without being detected on radar; this would appear to be of considerable defence significance, and I recommend that we investigate further, within MoD or with the U.S. authorities.”
In a rare showing of support, Pope’s superior agreed with his conclusion, writing to his superior:
“In summary, there would seem to be some evidence on this occasion that an unidentified object (or objects) of unknown origin was operating over the UK.”
“This is about as close the MoD will ever get to saying that there’s more to UFOs than misidentifications or hoaxes,” Pope says.
Pope was also pretty involved in follow-up investigations concerning theRendlesham Forest incident — Britain’s most famous UFO story. In December 1980, a series of sightings and a landing by some type of aircraft took place near the twin military bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge. The MoD’s investigations were, in the words of Pope, “inconclusive.” Lord Hill-Norton, a retired 5-star admiral who was a former Chief of the Defense staff and a former chairman of NATO’s Military Committee, said in his assessment that he believed either an unidentified craft landed, or a large number of military witnesses were lying or hallucinating — and either explanation warranted further investigation. To date, the case remains unexplained.
The biggest things Pope says he learned from his time as a UFO investigator: most witnesses are sincere and sane — also, wrong. Pope believe that the key reason “a hell of a lot of people” believe their government is involved with some sort of conspiracy is that the government doesn’t always do a good job being forthright about their actual interest in UFOs, largely for defense reasons.
That’s less true today than it was during the Cold War. The MoD shut down its UFO investigations in 2009 and the mass declassification of 209 files and 52,000 pages of documentation has served as a public confession. Now, there’s a little less than two-dozen files remaining those are expected to be released soon — much to the consternation of UFO truthers, who Pope notes that these groups also believe the intentional release of these files is a ploy to disseminate false information. “We were never going to satisfy these people anyway, so it’s a moot point,” he says.
Together, the documents are a mix of policy information that outlines how the MoD wanted to go about investigating UFO sightings (and some alien abduction claims by individuals), the reports of the sightings themselves, public correspondence files, and details on how the subject was raised and treated in Parliament.
These days, most of the world’s governments have moved out of the UFO business. Pope isn’t sure this is a good idea because governments have access to resources and capabilities private individuals don’t. Radar data is the ultimate example: When Pope needed to find out whether nearby radar installations may have picked up and identified a nearby UFO sighting, all he had to do was pick up the phone and call whomever he needed. Now, pretty much the only civilian move is to make a records request, which Pope says will likely be handled “begrudgingly” by the government.
But perhaps most of all, technology has made it a thousand times easier to actually conduct investigations and reach out to witnesses. People can stay connected even after several years and discuss what they saw.
“Let me put it this way,” says Pope. “If Roswell [occurred] today, what would happen? The answer is, we would have an answer, one way or another.”
Although the paranoia that fueled UFO speculation during the Cold War has waned, interest in aliens and UFOs remains consistently strong. He thinks a healthy skepticism is still the best approach towards dealing with such reports, but he acknowledges that aliens would “of course be more fascinating.” If we do find hard evidence of a UFO with extraterrestrial origins, Pope will be there to participate in the explanation of the unexplainable. He’s not a government agent anymore, but he’s still get his eyes open.

Australia First to Receive Electricity Using Zero-emission Wave Energy Generators
Australia First to Receive Electricity Using Zero-emission Wave Energy Generators
Australia is taking advantage of their naturally abundant energy resource. Using hydroelecticity and a power reverse-osmosis desalination plant, they are riding the wave of eco-friendly energy provided from the ocean.
Our oceans contain a powerful amount of clean, renewable energy. Australia is harnessing that energy on a mass scale along their coastal shores… and setting the stage for wave technology to go global.
credit – Kiora! Tumbler.com
The Perth Wave Energy Project has created the first commercial ocean wave installation. The facility translates and stores energy from the movement of the ocean. Enough energy, in fact, to run a navel base near Garden Island in Western Australia!
Using the CETO 5 wave energy generators, developed by Carnegie Wave Energy Limited, the site has channeled zero-emissions energy from three CETO 5 units into a functioning power grid for 14,000 cumulative hours.
How Wave Technology Works
“Below is a short video that explains the process of how the fully-submerged CETO 5 system, made up of a 240kW bouy tethered to a water pump, converts the movements of the ocean into a stream of high-powered water, which is then is used to create hydroelecticity and power a reverse-osmosis desalination plant.
“Carnegie Wave Energy claims the generator system has minimal impact on marine life, does not produce pollution, can be deployed in a variety of depths and sea floor conditions, and is unaffected by storms. With the commercial viability of the CETO system now established, the idea of a technology that produces both clean energy and clean water has many energy experts excited.”
Wave-powered generation could hold the key to the viability of renewable energy because it was predictable and could run all day, every day. This is one of the great success stories in innovation in renewable energy. ~ Ian Macfarlane, Federal Energy Minister in Australia [1]
The Perth Wave Energy Project is the world’s first grid-connected commercial scale demonstration of Carnegie’s CETO technology. This is an important step towards unlocking the vast potential of wave energy in Australia and internationally. ~ Australian Renewable Energy Agency [2]
The Future Of Wave Technology
“Carnegie has secured an additional $20 million in financing to pursue improvements in the next-generation CETO 6. The company and its supporters now face the challenge of increasing the scale of wave energy projects while decreasing the cost of installations.”
CETO’s modular design allows for customizable scalability, and its being entirely submerged renders the equipment less susceptible to damage from storms and air erosion.
The great thing about it is we know it works. The challenge from here on is really about scale and cost.~ Michael Ottaviano, Carnegie Wave Energy CEO [3]
Q&A: Planetary Scientist Simulates Asteroid Impacts
Q&A: Planetary Scientist Simulates Asteroid Impacts
by Jeremy Hsu
An artist's illustration of a large asteroid headed for Earth.
Pierazzo's latest computer simulations showed how an ocean impact could destroy much of the ozone layer that protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays. Looking at such atmospheric effects of impacts is tough, but has provided a better understanding of past hits such as the one that wiped out the dinosaurs and left the Chicxulub crater.Asteroids may leave impact craters and occasionally wipe out entire species, but planetary scientist Elisabetta "Betty" Pierazzo also wants to know what happens to Earth's seas and skies. Her work at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Ariz., has revealed not only how deep impacts altered Earth's past, but also how they might shape humanity's future.
Q: Do you think the case is now closed about the Chicxulub impact triggering the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) extinction and the end of the dinosaurs?
A: One of the beauties of science is that no scientific conclusion is ever final. Any scientific theory is always valid as long as accumulated evidence – and I should say, not interpretation of data, but good solid data; unfortunately, it is easy to take bad data or interpretations of data, and use them in favor or against a theory; that is not good science – supports it.
I believe that the majority of scientists are pretty much convinced that the connection between the K/T mass extinction and the Chicxulub impact is very strong and compelling. A review of the evidence can be found in a recently published Science paper (Schulte et al., Science 327, p. 1214-1218). However, some scientists still believe that the evidence is not convincing enough and keep fighting this theory.
One of their objections is that besides the Chicxulub impact there is no other case in Earth's history in which a mass extinction has been linked to an impact event, and vice versa. This is a strange assertion, as nobody disputes the point that not all impacts can cause mass extinctions.
The Chicxulub impact was a case of the worst possible scenario: a large impact occurring in the wrong place and very possibly at the wrong time. The wrong place is the location of the impact, on a continental platform with a thick sedimentary layer that caused the release of large quantities of climatically active gases, on top of other catastrophic effects of a large impact. The wrong time is related to the fact that towards the end of the Cretaceous there was a slow but constant decline of the climate. That may have changed optimal living conditions for various species locally.
Q: How often have asteroids or comets triggered such mass extinction events on Earth?
A: The only event that shows a clear link between a mass extinction and an impact event is the K/T boundary. Keep in mind that the Chicxulub crater is the largest crater so far discovered on the Earth's surface in the Phanerozoic (the last 540 million years), when complex life evolved. At the same time, no other mass extinction has the same characteristics of the K/T extinction, especially with respect to the abruptness with which it occurred.
It is dangerous to try to find a unique cause for all known mass extinctions. They were all unique in some ways, and it is possible that every single one was triggered by different causes. Just because the K/T mass extinction is linked to the Chicxulub impact does not mean that all large mass extinctions are linked to an impact event, and vice versa, it takes very large impacts and particular impact conditions to trigger a large mass extinction.
Q: What are the big unknowns that remain about how past impacts affected Earth?
A: There is still so much we don't know very well about the effects of medium to large asteroid impacts. We do have an idea of the possible effects associated with impact events, but our understanding is mostly qualitative.
We know that large impacts can cause strong earthquakes or widespread tsunamis (if the impact is in the ocean). They can also eject large amounts of material around the globe, possibly enhanced by decomposition of sediments (if present) that may inject large amounts of climatically active gases in the upper atmosphere.
Material ejected from the impact way above the bulk of the Earth's atmosphere would re-enter the atmosphere from above, and due to friction with the atmosphere, generate a short-lasting global pulse of increased thermal radiation at the surface. Estimates of the level of radiation suggest strong thermal damage to the biosphere, even if high radiation levels lasted for only a few tens of minutes.
There has been a remarkable improvement in climate models that now allow us to combine models of the atmosphere, ocean, land, ice and biology into sophisticated single Earth-system models. There is hope that in the future we may make progress in applying these new models to the huge disturbances in the normal environment associated with large impact events. A big limiting factor has been the magnitude of the disturbanceassociated with large impacts, which has been too large for these complex models to handle.
Q: How do you think the public and policymakers should think about the ongoing or future risks of asteroid impacts?
A: We all live with various natural risks: the risk of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, tornadoes, etc. Humans have an amazing capability of adapting and accepting risks while continuing with their lives. It is good practice to have plans for dealing with natural disasters, and this is something that should be thought of also in the case of the impact risk.
Overall, the probability of being hit by a medium asteroid is smaller than the probability of various natural disasters. However, the potential for loss of human lives and extent of the damage in the long term is much greater for a medium-size impact than for any natural hazard. This point has been expressed very well by David Morrison (from the NASA Ames Research Center): "The impact hazard represents the extreme case of a calamity of low probability but high consequences – consequences that include the possible end of civilization as we know it." I would say this is threatening enough that we should at least try to think about possible survival or recovery plans.
Q: Given NASA's limited budget, how would you prioritize detecting near Earth objects (NEOs) and figuring out ways to deflect them?
A: I believe that first of all we should try to quantify better what are the actual effects of different size asteroid impacts, especially in the medium range. Our understanding of what size asteroid may generate global effects is still limited; currently, the threshold for a civilization-destroying impact event is generally put somewhere between a 1 and 3 kilometer (0.62 and 1.86 mile) diameter object. In the case of smaller impactors, the intensity and extension of the environmental effects are not well established.
Scientists have leveraged data from explosion tests to get an idea of the intensity of some effects, but such data can assess only a limited number of effects. They also used data from natural events, such as volcanic explosions or wildfires, to try to understand the effect of large amounts of dust and various climatically active gases on the climate. However, the size of the disturbancesassociated with natural events and explosion tests is much smaller than that associated with medium to large impacts, and that makes for a very qualitative understanding of the effects associated with impacts.
The detection of NEOs is crucial to assess the risk of impacts in the near future. It also helps characterize the population of NEOs and validate theoretical models of the expected population, and that allows us to make estimates of potential NEOs which have not been discovered yet.
The Spaceguard program has been in place for over a decade now, and its success is clear. General estimates of NEO populations suggest that about 95 percent of asteroids are larger than 1 kilometer (0.62 miles) in diameter (the civilization destroyers). But more work is still necessary to detect slightly smaller objects. That may require access to more powerful telescopes that can detect smaller objects.
However, it is important to continue the assessment of possible ways to deflect asteroids in case we find one on a collision path with Earth. I believe this becomes quickly a political discussion, as the threat is global and not just for one country. Assessment and action on developing techniques for deflection may require international cooperation.
Q: Despite the destruction related to asteroid or comet impacts, are there any long-term benefits of such impacts for life on Earth?
A: When the Earth was young and life was starting to emerge, very large impacts could have had serious effects on its survival and evolution. At the same time, large impacts may have delivered elements and molecules that are important for the development of life. Today, the Earth's neighborhood is populated by smaller objects that could not destroy life on Earth. At the same time, life has allowed the development and buildup of all the important organic molecules, so life on Earth does not depend anymore on delivery of crucial building blocks for life to the Earth's surface.

There have also allegedly been found the skeletal remains of a number of bizarre humanoid and hominid races now unknown and extinct, indicating unexplained phenomena, although not necessarily "aliens" from another planet. In recent years, it has been asserted that there must have been 
It sounds great at first to think that there may be aliens among us, at least in the New Age arena, where the "aliens" always claim to be trying to help but never do much of anything. If such good-guy aliens are around, they certainly should not be worshipped as gods, anymore than cultures with advanced technology should be worshipped by inhabitants of jungles or remote islands.
