LOCKHEED READY TO DEPLOY FIELD LASER WEAPONS
LOCKHEED READY TO DEPLOY FIELD LASER WEAPONS
Gepubliceerd op 20 mrt. 2016
Sub for more: http://nnn.is/the_new_media | Modern technologies provide for any tactical platforms to be equipped with laser weaponry, the director for Directed Energy Systems at Lockheed Martin said according to Sputnik who says Paul Shattuck confirmed that the company could produce “a viable weapon for fielding,” able to bore a hole into a two-inch-thick piece of steel, if such a need existed.
Some alien hunters have been sent into a frenzy by a mysterious image of what they believe is a 'fleet of space ships' flying over the capital's tallest building.
Scott C Waring, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, claims alien visitors were "sightseeing" at the famous landmark, when a tourist on the ground inadvertently snapped them.
The unidentified snapper was so convinced they had captured something unearthly on camera they have now forwarded the image for investigation by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
The picture was taken in the capital last December.
MUFON
In close up: Do these look like space ships or blobs of light?
The eyewitness said: "On closer inspection of the photographs, I noticed that a progressive path off unidentified objects were recorded on the several images that were taken. They were clearly visible above the pinnacle of The Shard.
"In extreme close-up, the object to the far right has a clear structure - perhaps metallic. I am almost certain these are not light reflections. I take lots of photographs and have never observed this phenomenon before or since."
However, unfortunately, for anyone hoping for a breakthrough in the search for proof of alien life this one looks to be just a red herring.
Before MUFON, the world's largest organisation dedicated to researching and logging global UFO sightings, has had chance to investigate the picture it appears another ET researcher has cracked the case.
UFOofINTEREST•MUFON
Scott Brando examined the image to see the source of the lens flares
One clue is that lens flare often has an aqua colour. Another clue is the symmetry between the bright light source and the lens flares.
Online poster Skywatcher
Italian Scott Brando, who runs hoax-buisting website ufoofinterest.org, has revealed robust evidence that it was nothing more than a lens flare.
Lens flares appear on pictures when light reflects inside the camera, which places reflected light in an opposite part of the image, and this is why the so-called objects are never seen by the photographer.
The snapper of The Shard picture said they had ruled out a lens flare as the cause - despite admitting they had not seeing any objects in the sky at the time the image was captured.
However, Mr Waring did not appear to consider the possibility of a lens flare.
He said the picture was an example of how the digital eye of the camera is more exact than the human eye, because they photographer never saw them.
He said: "There are only two reasons to stop by such a famous building.
"One to drop off some alines to do some shopping or to observe a marvel of the modern age - the building itself."
Mr Brando, who forensically examines alleged UFO pictures, appears to have has geometrically shown on the picture the lights towards the bottom of the building which were the source of the flares by lining them up in a graphic.
He said: "Yes, this is 100 per cent caused by lens flare."
He was backed up by someone posting under the username Skywatcher on ufostalker.com who said: "This looks like lens flare caused by the bright streetlights at the bottom of the picture.
"One clue is that lens flare often has an aqua colour. Another clue is the symmetry between the bright light source and the lens flares."

INEXPLICABLE: Bizarre UFO captured on camera that NO ONE can explain
INEXPLICABLE: Bizarre UFO captured on camera that NO ONE can explain
Another video has been submitted for analysis which according to the person who took it, is the ultimate proof that the UFO phenomenon is real. The bizarre footage of a mysterious object is currently being reviewed by Ufologists who hope to get to the bottom of yet another enigmatic video which according to many, is proof of alien visitations.
„I have shown the video to a few of my close friends but none of them can explain what flew by my house that day.“
The person who filmed the UFO, who prefers to remain anonymous, initially thought what he had recorded was a bird, but soon after, he realized that the object had no wings, and was unlike anything else in the sky at that time, not even birds which are seen in the video. (Case number: 75187)
The video has been sent to analysis to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) which is the largest organisation in charge of investigation alleged Alien and UFO sightings on the planet.
According to a report from MUFON, the person said he recorded the UFO at 5:30 pm on a cloudy, but brightly lit day in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.
He said: “I looked up and saw a black object.
“My first reaction was I thought I saw a bird, however, something was not right as the object has no wings and was flying quite high in the sky.”
“I realised that I was not witnessing a bird or balloon (it was too big), but an unidentified object.”
After which he began filming the mysterious object in the sky…
He said: “I had a clear view of the object, it is very large – the size of the nose or cockpit section of a passenger plane.
Left: The disk-shaped object in question. Right: A comparative image of a bird seen in the sky.
“The object was flying very fast, the speed of a passenger plane.
“The object is square-like but as it flies and turns, I can see that the top part of the object is rectangular with straight lines running across from the centre to the edge.
“It did not emit any sound at all as it flew by.”
Prior to sending the footage to MUFON, the person who filmed the UFO showed the enigmatic footage to several people, all of who were left perplexed by the object and loss for an explication.
“I have shown the video to a few of my close friends but none of them can explain what flew by my house that day,“ said the witness.
The number of reported UFO sightings in 2016 remains high as people all around the planet are snapping images and videos of the inexplicable phenomenon in the sky.
While some of these ‘encounters’ can be perfectly explained, there are many other images and videos which are up for debate.
What do you think this sighting is? Are we looking at another ‘hoax’ or is it possible that this time, we have genuine, authentic footage of extraterrestrial vehicles, caught on camera?

MEER NEDERLANDSE ERVARINGEN MET BLACK EYES KIDS
MEER NEDERLANDSE ERVARINGEN MET BLACK EYES KIDS
Wezens uit andere dimensies met pikzwarte ogen waar de meeste mensen bij het zien van deze wezens een soort angst ervaren.
“Hoi”, zei ze en ik voelde een lichte vorm van angst. Op dat moment wist ik dat dit geen droom meer was, maar dat ik in een andere dimensie was.
Naar aanleiding van ons artikel eerder deze week over een lezer die een ervaring had met een zogenaamd Black Eyed Kid, ontvingen wij nog enkele interessante ervaringen.
Het beeld dat zich zo langzamerhand begint te vormen, laat zien dat we hier waarschijnlijk toch te maken hebben met wezens uit een andere dimensie. Het gevoel dat mensen overwegend hebben wanneer ze deze wezens ontmoetten is meestal niet positief.
Wat dat betreft was de ervaring van de lezer in het eerdere artikel eigenlijk merkwaardig, omdat dit de eerste keer is waar wij van weten dat er geen sprake was van angst.
Bij de volgende twee lezerservaringen speelt dit wel degelijk weer een rol.
De ervaringen van de eerste lezer (dank!):
Ik las vandaag het verhaal van een Black Eyed Kid uit een ander Dimensie. en dit heeft me er toe doen besluiten om Jullie te berichten dat ik 3 ervaringen heb gehad met deze wezens.
Dat ze uit een ander dimensie komen wil ik zeker geloven want ze zijn voor ons mensen niet echt biologisch te noemen en niet echt natuurlijk.
Mijn Eerste ervaring met zulke mensen met pik zwarte ogen was toen ik een jongen van 14 was. Ik ben opgeroeid op een boerderij in Groningen. waar mijn eerste ervaring met deze wezens was.
Ik fietste elke dag naar school, altijd met een goede dosis optimisme. Ik stond in mijn jeugd heel positief in het leven. Het was, dat weet ik nog wel, 15 maart 1965 toen ik met mijn fiets weer terug van school naar huis fietste en ineens een man zag bij de berm naast het fietspad.
Hij staarde naar de grond. Ik fietste daar dus voorbij toen die man ineens zich begon te bewegen en de achtervolging in zette. Ik was doodsbang, het was duidelijk iemand met verkeerde bedoelingen.
Gelukkig bleef ik hem voor en hij kon mij niet pakken. Toen de vreemde man het opgaf keek ik even achterom en toen zag ik zijn angstige blik. En ik kon zien dat hij pikzwarte ogen had, maar ik had zijn gezicht heel even gezien toen ik mij gezicht omdraaide.
Ik was thuis toen ik het mijn ouders vertelde wat voor naars ik had meegemaakt. Ik was in shock en heel erg bang dus ik kon daardoor ook een hele tijd niet naar school.
Ik heb gepraat met psycholoog, het duurde echter een hele tijd voor ik het kon verwerken.
20 jaar later in 1985 was ik inmiddels al getrouwd en woonde al in Eindhoven. In de zomer van dat jaar gingen we een weekend naar de Veluwe. We hadden toen veel gefietst en hier beleefde ik ook een ervaring met een black eyed. Maar dit keer was het een vrouw met een baby bij haar.
Ik liep toen even alleen in de bossen van de Veluwe toen ik een vrouw tegenkwam en ik kan bij god zweren dat zij ook zwarte ogen had. En toen voelde ik me daarna weer onveilig, maar ik kon het daarna weer mij zelf op de rit krijgen en mij dagelijks leven oppakken.
Mijn 3e ervaring was ook gelukkig de laatste ervaring met deze wezens. Dat was 4 jaar geleden, in januari 2012.
Toen ik weer naar de Ardennen in België ging om er even een weekje te vertoeven kwam ik daar in de bossen een Jongen tegen met een kaal hoofd en ook zwarte ogen met een raar gevleugeld wezen naast hem. Ik fietste in het donker in op weg naar huis toen dit gebeurde. Maar toen ze mij zagen sloegen ze vrij snel op de vlucht en ik heb daar ook niks meer van vernomen.
Waar ik precies mee te maken had dat weet ik niet, wie of wat ze zijn geen idee.
Ik hoop zelf dat ik dit nooit meer mee hoef te maken, maar als ik al die verhalen zo lees over deze figuren is er echt meer tussen hemel en aarde en is er meer aan de hand dan wij mensen nu denken.
De ervaring van de tweede lezer (dank!):
Ik wil graag mijn ervaring met een black eyed kid delen. Dit, omdat deze afwijkt van de verhalen die hier te lezen zijn.
Allereerst wil ik met jullie delen dat ik soms ervan bewust ben als mijn ziel op reis gaat en dat was ook deze ochtend. (18-03-16)
Ik begin met het vertellen dat ik een paar weken geleden in een meditatie door kreeg dat niet aardse wezens voor mij (of voor ons allemaal) dichter bij zullen komen. Ik werk bij de HEMA en zo mocht ik gisteren en 3 dagen geleden ervaren dat er een niet aards wezen in "menskleren" aan mijn kassa verscheen. Dit waren 2 verschillende "personen" Voor mij hadden ze een aparte houding/aparte manier van bewegen, praten in het Nederlands ging hun "moeilijk" tot niet af, maar gaven mij ook niet de indruk dat ze ook geen andere aardse taal spraken en hadden ze ogen die van onze vorm afweken en een soort van lichte moeite hadden, hier doorheen te kijken.
Black eyed kid ervaring:
Ik was vanmorgen rond 7 uur wakker voor mijn dagelijkse ochtendmeditatie en plots voelde ik de behoefte om weer te gaan slapen. Normaal luister ik nog een mantra, maar ditmaal "moest" ik gaan slapen en ging weer naast mijn vriendin liggen.
In eerste instantie dacht ik dat het een droom was:
Ik kwam op een grote oude boerderij terecht en ik was met nog 2 andere vrouwen. Dit leek te zijn in de tijd van zeg maar de serie little house on the prairie.
We kwamen bij een familie en wij zaten aan een ronde tafel toen er een meisje naar mij toe kwam. Blijkbaar vond zij mij leuk en vroeg of ik met haar mee wilde. Haar zus zei: "dat moet je echt afleren, iedere keer als je een jongen leuk vind er ook iets mee doen. Ik vertelde het meisje dat ik al een vriendin had en ze begon te huilen.
We stonden op het punt weg te gaan en een van de vrouwen met wie ik was zei: "Het is hier een traditie dat de man een kopje thee voor de eigenaresse gaat brengen bij vertrek. Omdat we in een soort van haast waren keek ik op tafel en zag een waterkaraf staan en vroeg: "Is water ook goed?" Ja werd er gezegd.
Met een glas water ging ik naar buiten, op zoek naar de eigenaressen en ondertussen was het heel modderig. Ik kon haar niet vinden en liep een andere kant op. Voor mij was er een lang hout gebouw, met een lange balustrade. Boven op de balustrade zat er een meisje, oud kledendracht met pikzwarte ogen.
Hoi zei ze en ik voelde een lichte vorm van angst. Op dat moment wist ik dat dit geen droom meer was, maar dat ik in een ander dimensie was.
Ik had een dubbel gevoel: ik moet weg van hier, zo snel mogelijk, maar aan de andere kant was ik ook nieuwsgierig en wilde ik contact met haar. Ik kreeg van mijn gids te horen dat ik vanuit mijn eigen dimensie hulp moest halen, zodat als ik terug wilde komen en dit niet lukte, ik door iemand met fysieke, aardse dingen teruggehaald kon worden: water en eventueel aarde vanuit de tuin.
Op het moment dat ik mijzelf eruit probeerde te trekken, was het meisje ook aan mij (aan mijn energie) aan het trekken, zodat ik daar zou blijven.
Met heel veel moeite kwam ik wat terug, maar wilde mijn vriendin niet wakker te maken om haar instructies te geven wat te doen als ik langer dan 15 min zou blijven slapen. Wederom werd ik weer teruggetrokken naar de andere dimensie en probeerde ik van daar weg te blijven. Dit gebeurde nog een keer totdat ik volhardend bleef volhouden niet meer "in slaap te vallen"
Date of sighting: November 13, 1966 Location of sighting: Zanesville, Ohio, USA Source: Magazine, Flying Saucers UFO Reports No. 2, 1967 Now guys, I got this article directly from an old UFO magazine from Ebay. There are a lot of UFO sightings in these old UFO magazines that have been going untapped for decades. I implore anyone who has a UFO site out there to please purchase some of these old magazines (the older, the better) and put these lost sightings on the Internet for the world. Click here to see these old UFO magazines on Ebay. For instance, the article below does not exist on the Internet, but 10% of it does and some photos do, but a personal interview and description from that day are missing, here the magazine fills in 900% more detail that we had yesterday. That is important! I have found astronaut UFO sightings that have never hit the net before and I will put up soon. We must learn from the past to understand the present. It will solve a lot of mysteries. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Magazine States: For three months this photograph of something hung on the wall of Ralph Ditter's barbershop in Zanesville, Ohio. The 40-year-old barber had taken the picture with a Polaroid camera on November 13 when the metallic object moving slowly through the sky caught his attention on a summer day, while he was on his way to his cousins home to photograph some furniture. The object which he described as noiseless and about 20 feet in diameter hovered about 47 feet above the ground rotating counterclockwise on a vertical access. He took three photos. After about a minute and a half that object drifted lazily toward the west and disappeared over the brow of the hill. But Ditter thinking it might return, rushed inside for his motion picture equipment and waited for almost 2 hours for a reappearance. There was none. And amateur astronomer, Ditter, convinced he had seen something from a solar system other than his own placed the photo on the wall of his shop along with a photo of the moon he had taken through a telescope and a chart of the solar system. The display attracted much comments and dinner had no intention of exhibiting it for more than a conversation piece among his customers. He was well aware of the unpleasant publicity that frequently attaches to sighters of UFOs, and he also did not want his place over run with the curious. But word of the unusual photo reached Dr. Benjamin Gilliotte Zanesville physician, former Air Corps officer and a member of the NICAP. Dr. Gilliotte reported the sighting and the photo to the NICAP and also inform news media of its existence. The story in the photo were used in newspapers of February 6. Asked why he had not informed the Air Force of the sighting Mr. Ditter explained that he was disgusted by their fool explanations of UFOs. He stated flatly that he knows satellites, meteors, and planets when he sees them, and he didn't want to be told it was something like that, or else marsh gas. Ditter has no doubt about what he saw and mentioned to us when we spoke to him on the phone that a schoolteacher in Roseville had seen a strange light over the Zanesville cemetery 24 hours after he photograph the object near his home. He made no link up between the two unusual occurrences. Four days after the news story appeared in the papers constable Gary Butler of Perkins Township near Sandusky reported that he had seen a UFO hovering near the NASA research center. He watched it for approximately four minutes at 3:42 AM during which time it Hubbard about 40 feet above the ground. He described it as a disc shaped bright blue roughly 20 feet in diameter. When he drew closer the object disappeared behind trees. None of the workers at the Plumbrook research center cited the UFO. From Flying Saucers UFO Reports Magazine #2 1967.

Date of sighting: February 28, 2016, reported March 6 Location of sighting: Puna Catamarquena, Argentina News source:
http://www.elancasti.com.ar/info-gral/2016/3/6/fotografiaron-ovni-puna-catamarquena-290683.html This cool UFO was caught by accident by a kid in Argentina a few weeks ago when he and his friends were filming some desolate scenery. As you already know, UFOs are more commonly seen in low populated areas. The smaller the population of the area, the higher your chances to witness a UFO. If you live in a small town, they you have an advantage. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Elancasti Spanish News States: They photographed a UFO in the Puna catamarqueña. The image was captured by a group of young people who on Sunday toured the mountains catamarqueña by the Paso de San Francisco. The photograph was taken by one of the youngsters whose hobby capture with his camera lens the most inhospitable landscapes of the Puna catamarqueña, as published in The Digital Abaucán. The boy captured the image you can see an unidentified flying object (UFO) around 17.30 on Sunday 28 February, in the hamlet of Chaschuil, Tinogasta department. But he did not realize what hid photography to reach Fiambala, where he hails, when reviewing the images he saw a UFO in the sky. What do you think?
Colour-Changing UFO On Video Doing Fast Movements Up and Down
Colour-Changing UFO On Video Doing Fast Movements Up and Down
Lake Harstad UFO
A footage of a strange UFO that was recorded changing colour as it sped into a lake has caught the attention of paranormal investigators. The bright aerial thing descends quickly towardsLake Harstad in Norway. It appears to be red at the start of the video before it transforms into green as it gets nearer to the water.
The unnamed witness said that he recorded the video half way through the sighting from his balcony. He was looking out over the sea during the strange event.
According to the witness’ account, he first thought of a drone as the object did not make any movement, but moments later, he observed it suddenly did a quick movement up into the sky in a straight line towards the north.
He then ran inside and looked out from a kitchen window while telling his girlfriend to come and see the mystery object. The couple reportedly had never seen anything like it in the past.
The witness added that the UFO moved fast where it came from, so they ran back to the balcony and recorded the odd event this time with an iPhone. Then the object descended very quickly from high up in the sky to the sea. While going down, bright lights changed from red to green.
The object disappeared suddenly behind the building. The sighting stunned the couple, and they didn’t know what to say or feel.
The video was reportedly taken last August, but the reporting witness just sent it recently to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) for further investigation.
In 1980 in a remote section of the Andes mountains, two men encountered a bigfoot-like creature as it boarded a UFO and flew away. This is their story.

I was sitting in my living room watching television about 7:00pm and out my large window which faces northwest over Quebec, I noticed a really strange colored cloud in the otherwise mostly blue with some grey clouds. It appeared like a big swirl of rainbow colors – very bright and not easy to miss. It was like one big whirl of colors of the rainbow but not in the shape of your arc type rainbow. I know these are called rainbow clouds but I have only seen one once before and that one I reported to Mufon too, last year I believe it was. When I had my first sighting of a rainbow cloud last year I noticed two UFOs seemingly to come between two vertical short rainbow clouds when I held up my binoculars – couldn’t see the UFOs until I used the binoculars, so this time when I saw another rainbow cloud (different shape than the first though) I knew to look further with the binoculars again. Prior to remaining solidly rainbow colored the cloud swirl formation had a more whitish color to it and when I looked through the binoculars there was what looked like a tunnel tube like shape that was quite long and on the outside it had ridges. It appeared to be like a tunnel is the only way I can describe it, I almost expected something to come out of the end of it that was well formed and perfectly round and looked like a giant hole. Nothing did come out of it unless when the dark clouds came over later something came out but I couldn’t see at that point. The tunnel sort of faded in form off and on as the colors of the rainbow intensified. When I spotted the UFO, the tunnel had almost totally gone. At first the colors of the cloud were just moving around a little and changing in depth of color and I didn’t see anything else but I persevered and sure enough about half way through the viewing there it was, near the upper middle part of the rainbow cloud. A definite sold disc just sitting behind the cloud. It stayed put for the whole sighting but behind the mist of the cloud.
.
Where it was appeared a peach like color but I’m sure that was the cloud and not the UFO itself but I can’t be sure. It was not dark though like my first two in a rainbow cloud, definitely lighter – possibly white or silver. There were no flashing lights or stationary ones but it seemed a little reflective but not much. There was no sound but it was very high up and far away. It was still quite light outside and earlier in the day, about 4pm there had been a storm including real downpours of rain that didn’t last long but were severe plus we did have thunder and not sure about lighting – not all areas of the city got the same effects from the storm. I believe the first sighting of the UFO in the rainbow cloud happened after a storm as well and about the same time. At one point in the sighting two huge black billowy clouds seemed to appear out of nowhere as there were no other black clouds like that before when I first saw the rainbow cloud and they just seemed to engulf that whole area and blocked out the rainbow cloud and UFO altogether then just as fast the black cloud was gone and I am not sure if the UFO was still there or not. In a few minutes though the rainbow cloud faded and all was gone. Like I said I knew to grab the binoculars to see this type of cloud as it had a UFO, well two actually, in it a year back and so of course I wondered if this one would be the same and sure enough there it was. The first sighting, I believe I reported to Mufon, was sort of scary because the two discs were large, very large, and flat and coming out of the rainbow cloud and looked threatening because of the color and size like motherships but the one yesterday was small and light colored and stationary and pretty actually due to the peachy color of the cloud covering it. Now the thing is that as I have told Mufon many times before (I have had 6 or 7 sightings now – all different over the last 5 or 6 years) that all my sightings take place in the same area over Quebec not far from Gatineau. This seems to be a real hotbed for UFO activity at least from what I have seen. This is near a large river and they seem to stay fairly close but the sightings are over land, over Quebec. Chalk River isn’t too far from Ottawa where the sightings all took place plus I do believe there is a fault line through that area of Quebec but you can check to be sure. I really am starting to wonder if this area has a portal in it, just seems so strange so many sightings are in the same confined area of sky.
ANONYMOUS RELEASE NASA DOCUMENTS PROVING SOMETHING UNBELIEVABLE
ANONYMOUS RELEASE NASA DOCUMENTS PROVING SOMETHING UNBELIEVABLE
Please scroll down for video
Members of the AnonSec hacking group have released more than 276GB of data after allegedly spending months inside NASA’s internal network.
The collection of files, provided to Infowars by AnonSec admin Dêfãult Vírüsa prior to being made public Sunday, include 631 videos from aircraft and weather radars, 2,143 flight logs as well as the names, email addresses and phone numbers of 2,414 NASA employees.
A “zine,” or self-published paper detailing the hack, dubbed “OpNasaDrones,” reveals everything from AnonSec’s motives to the specific technical vulnerabilities that enabled the extensive breach.
“NASA has been breached more times than most people can honestly remember… However, this hack into NASA wasn’t initially focused on drones [sic] data and upper atmosphere chemical samples. In fact the original breach into NASA systems wasn’t even planned, it was caught up in a gozi virus spread,” the hackers write, referring to an infamous Trojan that has infected more than 1 million computers to date.
The data reveals information about NASA’s connection to weather modification (CHEMTAILS) research in a log of a DC-8 jetliner.
The Hack
After purchasing an “initial foothold” from a hacker with knowledge of NASA servers over two years ago, the group says it began testing how many machines it could “break into” and “root” – a term referring to an account with complete control over a computer or network.
Brute forcing an administrator’s SSH password, which reportedly only took “0.32” seconds due to the credentials being left as default, AnonSec gained further access inside – allowing them to grab even more login data with a hidden packet sniffer (tcpdump).
The hackers say while some members mapped the network, others analyzed the “different missions, airbases and aircraft” listed by the agency. Public missions like “OIB – Operation Ice Bridge” and drones such as the “Global Hawk“ were among those mentioned.
Deleting records of their presence as they hacked deeper into the agency’s system, AnonSec, who even hacked security cameras and uncovered the schematics to one base’s camera layout, then infiltrated the networks at “Glenn Research Center, Goddard Space Flight Center and Dryden Flight Research Center.”
Once inside, the group says it began noticing numerous systems and networked devices “popping up in scans that were not previously visible…”
After sniffing a password belonging to the system administrator, the hackers say they were eventually able to gain full root access to three network-attached storage (NAS) devices tasked with compiling backups of aircraft flight logs.
“Now we had all 3 NAS devices automatically making copies of the logs as they are uploaded from the drones and renaming them to look like semi ordinary index files,” the group writes, mocking the system administrator responsible for protecting the data ( via anonews.co ).
Hackers Attempt to Crash Drone into Pacific Ocean
As the information began flowing unsuspectingly to an AnonSec-controlled server outside of the NASA network, analysis of the data yielded what the hackers described as “weird traffic.”
There is a space-time vortex around Earth, and its shape precisely matches the predictions of Einstein’s theory of gravity. Researchers confirmed these points at a press conference at NASA headquarters where they announced the long-awaited results of Gravity Probe B (GP-B). “The space-time around Earth appears to be distorted just as general relativity predicts,” says Stanford University physicist Francis Everitt, principal investigator of the Gravity Probe B mission. ”This is an epic result,” adds Clifford Will of Washington University in St. Louis. An expert in Einstein’s theories, Will chairs an independent panel of the National Research Council set up by NASA in 1998 to monitor and review the results of Gravity Probe B. “One day,” he predicts, “this will be written up in textbooks as one of the classic experiments in the history of physics.” Time and space, according to Einstein’s theories of relativity, are woven together, forming a four-dimensional fabric called “space-time.” The mass of Earth dimples this fabric, much like a heavy person sitting in the middle of a trampoline. Gravity, says Einstein, is simply the motion of objects following the curvaceous lines of the dimple. If Earth were stationary, that would be the end of the story. But Earth is not stationary.
Our planet spins, and the spin should twist the dimple, slightly, pulling it around into a 4-dimensional swirl. This is what GP-B went to space in 2004 to check. The idea behind the experiment is simple: Put a spinning gyroscope into orbit around the Earth, with the spin axis pointed toward some distant star as a fixed reference point. Free from external forces, the gyroscope’s axis should continue pointing at the star–forever. But if space is twisted, the direction of the gyroscope’s axis should drift over time. By noting this change in direction relative to the star, the twists of space-time could be measured.
The results of Gravity Probe B give physicists renewed confidence that the strange predictions of Einstein’s theory are indeed correct, and that these predictions may be applied elsewhere. The type of space-time vortex that exists around Earth is duplicated and magnified elsewhere in the cosmos–around massive neutron stars, black holes, and active galactic nuclei. “If you tried to spin a gyroscope in the severely twisted space-time around a black hole,” says Will, “it wouldn’t just gently precess by a fraction of a degree. It would wobble crazily and possibly even flip over.” For readers who are not experts in relativity: Geodetic precession is the amount of wobble caused by the static mass of the Earth (the dimple in space-time) and the frame dragging effect is the amount of wobble caused by the spin of the Earth (the twist in space-time). Both values are in precise accord with Einstein’s predictions. -NASA http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress. … und-earth/
Note: Our visitors have explored the space-time vortex that exists around Earth that is duplicated and magnified elsewhere in the cosmos. This concept may explain extraterrestrial space travel from distant planets to Earth in a relatively short time.
UFO hunters claim they have discovered a massive alien base on the moon nine miles wide. And while scientists say its just a crater, barmy space fanatics insist it’s in fact a huge glass dome. You Tuber Tony Wilke spotted the shape in a photo of the lunar landscape taken during NASA’s Apollo missions. It comes after satellite photos of the Mars revealed unnatural shapes hailed as entrances to an underground base. “Scientists have mislabeled it as a crater, when obviously it’s a dome.”
According to Tony, who runs the YouTube channel Earth Files Earths History, the dome is approximately 250 million years old. During that time it’s suffered damage, he said, but it still stands because of a supporting beam more than two miles long. The structure is some nine miles across and at least two miles deep, it’s claimed. Quite why the aliens needed to build a giant extra-terrestrial 02 Arena out of glass is not guessed at. Scott C Waring, who edits the website UFO Sightings Daily, hit out at scientists for dismissing the find. “As you can see for yourself this is a dome on Earth’s moon,” he said. “Scientists have mislabeled it as a crater, when obviously it’s a dome. “This is mislabeled in astronomy as Harden Crater. I don’t blame the scientists. It’s just the way education goes in school.” Tony said that when the domes were first built aeons ago, the class would have been completely transparent. “When these domes were constructed and completed they were completely clear,” he said. “You could take a hundred foot by hundred foot block of glass that they make you could see perfectly clear to the other side without any distortion at all. “But this is just the result of deterioration after millions and millions of years.”
NASA Scientists & What They Say About The Moon
Moon Pyramid
Multiple NASA personnel have made some pretty shocking claims about the Moon. George Leonard, a NASA scientist and photo analyst who obtained various official NASA photographs of the Moon, many of which he published in his book titled Somebody Else Is On The Moon, is just one of these personnel. Although the photos are small in size and their resolution is not up to today’s standards, they show details of original prints which were huge. While Leonard published the identifying code numbers of the photos in his works to back up their source, we still can’t say for sure that they were real, and their poor resolution only makes matters worse. Far more compelling than these photos are his statements about what was found on the Moon, along with his verified NASA credentials. Leonard was not the only one with a credible background trying to tell the world the truth regarding the Moon and the photos that were taken from the Apollo missions. “Ladies and gentlemen, my government, NASA, which many of us in the United States say stands for Never A Straight Answer, proceeded to erase 40 rolls of film of the Apollo Program — the flight to the Moon, the flight around the Moon, the landings on the Moon, the walking guys here and there. They erased, 40 rolls of film of those events. Now we’re talking about several thousand individual frames that were taken that the so-called authorities determined that you did not have a right to see. Oh, they were ‘disruptive,’ ‘socially unacceptable,’ ‘politically unacceptable.’ I’ve become furious. I’m a retired Command Sergeant Major. I was never famous for having a lot of patience.
Moon Strutures
The quote above is from Bob Dean, who was speaking at a conference in Europe. Bob is a retired US Army Command Sargent Major, and he also served at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) of NATO as an intelligence analyst. When it comes to the UFO phenomenon, we now have public disclosure of thousands of documents along with hundreds of credible witness testimonies. It’s also important to note here that the Russian government recently called for an international investigation into the U.S. moon landings regarding the disappearance of film footage from the original moon landing in 1969. They are also referring to the (approximately) 400 kilograms of lunar rock that was obtained during multiple missions between 1969 and 1972. Leonard argued that NASA knew about extraterrestrial activity on the Moon and attempted to hide that information. He’s not the only one to make such an assertion. “Read the books, read the lore, start to understand what has really been going on, because there is no doubt that we are being visited. . . . The universe that we live in is much more wondrous, exciting, complex and far reaching than we were ever able to know up to this point in time. . . . [Mankind has long wondered if we’re] alone in the universe. [But] only in our period do we really have evidence. No, we’re not alone.” – Dr. Edgar Mitchell, ScD., NASA astronaut (6th man to walk on the moon) Here is a clip of NASA astronaut Dr. Brian O’Leary saying the same thing.
Leonard is not the only NASA scientist to say some strange things about the Moon. Recently, a plasma scientist by the name of Dr. John Brandenburg said the same thing. He was the Deputy Manager of the Clementine Mission to the Moon, which was part of a joint space project between the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) and NASA. The mission discovered water at the Moon’s poles in 1994.
Moon Glass Tower
It was (the Clementine Mission) a photo reconnaissance mission basically to check out ifsomeone was building bases on the moon that we didn’t know about. Were they expanding them? He then went on to state that: Of all the pictures I’ve seen from the moon that show possible structures, the most impressive is a picture of a miles wide recto-linear structure. This looked unmistakably artificial, and it shouldn’t be there. As somebody in the space defense community, I look on any such structure on the moon with great concern because it isn’t ours, there’s no way we could have built such a thing. It means someone else is up there.If you were to tell the average person that you think another civilization, advanced enough to have mastered space travel, had been to the Moon before we got there and is possibly still going there, you would, without a doubt, receive some very peculiar looks in return. On the other hand, if that other person were to decide to hear you out, you would probably get their attention pretty quickly. For some, this type of information can be overwhelming, even terrifying, and that’s okay. Many people are not ready to open their minds up to these possibilities, but the truth of the matter is, it’s something we are going to have to confront eventually. We are clearly heading towards the inevitable reality of extraterrestrial contact — that is, if we smarten up and start taking care of our planet to the best of our ability. Perhaps we can make it long enough to realize this future, or maybe it’s coming sooner than we think. That being said, there is a good deal of evidence to suggest that extraterrestrial contact is already happening.

Filer’s Files #12 2016 Thousands of Pilots See UFOs - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Chilean General Bermúdez Says UFOs Exist, Argentina Hosts Thousands Who Love Aliens, Thousands of Airline Pilots Witness UFOs, Jetliners Encounter UFOs Over New Jersey, Civilizations Colonizing Space, ISS Spots UFO from Space, and Mass Extinctions Occur Every 62 Million Years.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Vermont.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, France, Iran, Malaysia, Spain, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Chilean General Bermúdez Says UFOs Exist
Chilean General Ricardo Bermúdez states, “The anomalous aerial phenomenon described as unidentified flying object exists, is present here and all over the world.” A former fighter pilot, who later served as an air attaché in London, he was chief commander of the Air Force’s Southern Area. Retired Chilean Air Force General (Ret.) Ricardo Bermúdez is Director of Chile’s Official Committee for the Study of Aerial Anomalous Phenomena (CEFAA). In 1997, the Chilean government formed CEFAA following publicly acknowledged observations of UFOs at a remote Chilean airport. General Bermúdez cane to the USA to speak at the Open Minds Conference open to the general public.
General Ricardo Bermudez (Ret.), explained in statements made to Chile’s Radio Cooperative that, “His team has indeed witnessed UFOs, that they exist and are being investigated in accordance with their mission, but that these objects do not necessarily include “little green extraterrestrials” inside them.”
“A specific case took place in Punta Arenas late last year, where the radar picked up an UFO and the air traffic controller told the pilot that there was a UFO in front of him at a distance of four miles, which is equivalent to three steps away for a person on land, and the pilot indeed saw it,” said Bermudez.
On that occasion, explains the General, after being picked up on radar, by two air traffic controllers a warning was sent to the unknown craft and the pilot also witnessed the UFO along with ground personnel at Porvenir. “This is one of the most solid cases in our files, and it’s an objective one, because one can say that a pilot may be confused by clouds, or that people on the ground could hallucinate at any given moment, but here we have witnesses plus instrumentation,” argues Bermudez. “The anomalous aerial phenomenon described as unidentified flying objects exists, is present here and all over the world, but it must be understood within scientific etymology”
Both the French group and General Ricardo Bermudez, president of the CEFAA, have made overtures to the U.S. government for cooperation on this issue, with no response. [Translation (c) 2012, Scott Corrales, IHU.
Argentina Hosts Thousands Who Love Aliens
Capilla Del Monte — by Kamilia Lahrichi. who wrote about Extraterrestrial ground zero.
Residents of Capilla Del Monte are positive intelligent aliens from another galaxy are living among them. So positive, the town of 16,000 holds an annual Alien Festival that draws tens of thousands of visitors — from Earth, that is. This year’s event kicked off Friday and runs through Valentine’s Day, for those in love with extraterrestrials. There is an alien costume contest, a parade of Star Wars characters, a laser contest and special effects simulating aliens’ arrival on Earth. There are workshops with regional speakers renowned in the UFO community on how aliens contact humankind, among other topics.
“I came all the way from France to see the intraterrestrial city of ERKS, which is buried under this town,” said Monique Rasset, a yoga professor who has traveled to Capilla del Monte for ten years.” According to local lore, ERKS is an underground city built by “intelligent lights” from another dimension who can communicate with humans.
Some tourists who make their way to the town, about 500 miles northwest of the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires, come mainly for the spectacle, with or without real aliens.
“I loved the Star Wars show and costumes last year so we decided to come back to the festival this year,” said Gabriela Amorosi, who traveled 18 hours by bus from her southern Argentine city of Bahia Blanca. To prepare for the festival, tourists and residents get into the mystical mood by meditating in parks, Zen temples and “silence zones” that have energy fields. Tourism agencies organize sky-gazing events to watch for mysterious lights.
Many of the estimated 30,000 visitors — mostly from Latin America, the USA, France, Germany and Japan — will scale the 6,500-foot-high Uritorco hill on the outskirts of town in search of energy fields and doors to other dimensions.
“The historical reason why people are curious about UFOs in Capilla del Monte dates back to 1986, when a giant circular footprint of burned grass was found at the slope of (the Uritorco) hill,” explained Alejandro Barbosa, the town’s tourism secretary.
Local researchers collected testimonies from residents who claimed they had seen a spaceship with fluorescent lights that left a long trail. The town’s resident alien scholar said she believes UFOs are lured here. “UFO existence may be the result of electromagnetic conditions and telluric forces at the epicenter of the (Uritorco) hill,” said Mary López Espitia, a Colombian who is director of the town’s Center on UFO investigation. Espita has studied the topic for 20 years and organizes international conferences. Espitia said she has seen UFOs often: “lights that behave in an intelligent way.” These are “lights of different sizes, shapes and colors, at different times of the day and night, and at different times of the year,” she said.
UFOs are a regular topic of conversation not only here, but throughout Argentina. National and local media often relay information on mysterious disc shaped objects seen flying.
“In Capilla del Monte, the majority of people see UFOs. It’s very common,” said Mario Tizon, a photographer. “I have seen UFOs in the countryside since I was a child.” Tizon showed photos he took on January 31, 2014, of supposed UFOs in the neighboring town of Cuchi Corral.

Thousands of Airline Pilots Witness UFOs
WASHINGTON D.C. —Airline pilots see unidentified flying objects but very few report it because of ridicule and the possibility of losing their jobs. According to the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena, (NARCAP) there have been over 3,500 documented sightings of “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” by military, commercial, and civilian pilots. But Captain Jim Courant, a commercial pilot for over 31 years, says there are many more sightings that are just not reported.
Captain Jim Courant and Major George Filer
“It is almost astounding how many people are in the know on this subject,” said Captain Jim Courant, speaking before the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on May 3, 2013. Courant has been researching and studying the phenomena of UFOs for years. He has collected over 3,000 books on UFOs and extraterrestrials, and hosted a television series on the issue titled “New Perspectives” which ran for three years.
He still flies for a commercial airline and because of his exposure on television has become known as an authority on UFO’s and extraterrestrial encounters. He has been contacted, and still is, by many commercial airline and military pilots who are happy to discuss their UFO’s encounters privately but do not want to talk publicly, fearing ridicule and in some cases retaliation.
“They are afraid,” not so much about their status or their retirement benefits, but “they are more afraid for their families,” he said.
He described the experience of one pilot who was flying a 747 over the Pacific in 1980, when he came across a UFO in front of him.
“You won’t believe what we saw,” the pilot had said, according to Courant. “This thing was bigger than a 747.”
Courant said the pilot told him that when he got to his destination in Japan, he “was debriefed and told never to talk about it again.”
Courant told the hearing about his own encounter with a UFO. In 1995, he was flying near Albuquerque, New Mexico, when he and his co-pilot saw a blue green oval shape approaching from the left. “In a flash of burning white light, the object suddenly shot up at a 45 degree angle,” he told the hearing.
Four other pilots reported to the air traffic control tower that they had also seen the object. “One pilot said it must have been a meteor,” Courant recounted, adding, “I got on and said ‘Since when does a meteor go back up?’” When asked about his co-pilot’s reaction in a telephone conversation following the Disclosure hearing, Courant said, “He refused to discuss it and has never flown with me again.”
Courant said pilots have reported seeing a variety of craft that appear suddenly and move at speeds impossible with present technology. Reports include cigar-shaped craft, triangular craft, and some that are the size of an aircraft carrier or larger.
He says airline pilots are “very serious in their profession” and not likely to make exaggerations. The website NARCAP, co-founded in 1999 by Dr. Richard F. Haines, a recognized specialist in UFOs and a former Chief Scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center, has been effective at documenting sightings, but Courant says more needs to be done.
UFO sightings are only “the tip of the iceberg” in terms of what has been experienced and what is known about extraterrestrials, he said. “There are certain things I have been privy to, but I can’t get into that here,” he told the hearing. Courant said it was time for the United States government to come clean with what its agencies have documented and learned through decades of extraterrestrial encounters.
Airline pilots know what they have seen, he said, and should be able to talk about it without fear of ridicule. Thanks to By Shar Adams the http://www.theepochtimes.com/
Jetliners Encounter UFOs OverNew Jersey
On Monday night, November 17, 1997, ham radio operator John N. Gonzalez, N2IXW, picked up a UFO report while listening to radio traffic on the air. According to a MUFON report, Gonzalez heard the conversation between the tower at Newark, N.J. airport and Flight 262 on 118.300 MHz. Two other unidentified aircrews also joined in the conversation.
Here is a transcript:
JET #2: “Watch out! The two (UFOs) are coming up to you.”
FLIGHT 262: “Well, Captain, the two up here are coming down to meet with you.”
TOWER: “Flight 262, what is your status?”
FLIGHT 262: “We have 236 souls onboard and fifty thousand (pounds) of fuel. I think these damn things are going to hit us. We are over Morristown just in case there is a collision with them. (pause) They have taken off towards the northeast. And, by the way, towards the northeast, it also looks like a meteor or space debris is coming down.”
(Editor’s Note: Monday night, November 17, was the tail end of the annual Leonid meteor shower.)
TOWER: “Do you wish to report a UFO sighting?”
FLIGHT 262: (Pause) No, we have nothing to report.”
JET #2: “We heard you. I am making sure the passengers are all right. And, no, I have nothing to report, either.”
JET#3: “You guys have seen more than your share of UFOs. I know I have.”
TOWER: “Who are you? Please identify yourself.” (There was no response) “Flight 262, go to the emergency frequency. We will meet with the both of you there.”

Civilizations Colonizing Space
The Earth may be rapidly reaching a point where our civilization could expand out into the solar system. A repeat of the Colony structure where mostly European countries took control of vast areas of the world. This time the various space-exploring nations may claim ownership of our Moon, Mars, Venus and other planets and eventually the Galaxy.
S. Jay Olson Cornell University writes, “If a subset of advanced civilizations in the universe choose to rapidly expand into unoccupied space, these civilizations would have the opportunity to grow to a cosmological scale over the course of billions of years. If such life also makes observable changes to the galaxies they inhabit, then it is possible that vast domains of life-saturated galaxies could be visible from the Earth. Here, we describe the shape and angular size of these domains as viewed from the Earth, and calculate median visible sizes for a variety of scenarios. We also calculate the total fraction of the sky that should be covered by at least one domain. In each of the 27 scenarios we examine, the median angular size of the nearest domain is within an order of magnitude of a percent of the whole celestial sphere. Observing such a domain would likely require an analysis of galaxies such as the Gly Galaxy. (shown) from the Earth.
We can assume an alien civilization is attempting to colonize Earth.

Mass Extinctions Occur Every 62 Million Years
With surprising and mysterious regularity, life on Earth has flourished and vanished in cycles of mass extinction every 62 million years, say two University of California Berkeley scientists who discovered the pattern after a painstaking computer study of fossil records going back for more than 500 million years. Their findings are certain to generate a renewed burst of speculation among scientists who study the history and evolution of life. Each period of abundant life and each mass extinction has itself covered at least a few million years — and the trend of biodiversity has been rising steadily ever since the last mass extinction, when dinosaurs and millions of other life forms went extinct about 65 million years ago.
The Berkeley researchers are physicists, but they have analyzed the most exhaustive compendium of fossil records that exists of no fewer than 36,380 separate marine genera, including millions of species that once thrived in the world’s seas. Richard Muller and his graduate student, Robert Rohde, have published a report on their exhaustive study in the journal Nature.
“We’ve tried everything we can think of to find an explanation for these weird cycles of biodiversity and extinction,” Muller said, “and so far, we’ve failed.”
Suns position is two thirds out from center on arm of Milky Way
The evidence of strange extinction cycles that first drew Rohde’s attention emerged from an elaborate computer database he developed from the largest compendium of fossil data ever created.
John Sepkoski Jr. suggested that marine life appeared to have its ups and downs in cycles every 26 million years. However, to Rohde and Muller, the longer cycle is strikingly more evident, although they have also seen the suggestion of even longer cycles that seem to recur every 140 million years. Sepkoski’s fossil record of marine life extends back for 540 million years to the time of the great “Cambrian Explosion,” when almost all the ancestral forms of multicellular life emerged, and Muller and Rohde built on it for their computer version.
Muller has long been known as an unconventional and imaginative physicist on the Berkeley campus. Perhaps, there is an unknown “Planet X” somewhere far out beyond the solar system that’s disturbing the comets in the distant region called the Oort Cloud — where they exist by the millions — to the point that they shower the Earth and cause extinctions in regular cycles. Daniel Whitmire and John Matese of the University of Louisiana proposed that idea as a cause of major comet showers in 1985, but no one except UFO believers has ever discovered a sign of it.
Or perhaps there’s some kind of “natural timetable” deep inside the Earth that triggers cycles of massive volcanism, Rohde has thought. There is even a bit of evidence: A huge slab of volcanic basalt known as the Deccan Traps in India has been dated to 65 million years ago — just when the dinosaurs died, he noted. And the similar basaltic Siberian Traps were formed by volcanism about 250 million years ago, at the end of the Permian period, when the greatest of all mass extinctions drove more than 70 percent of all the world’s marine life to death, Rohde said.
Muller’s favorite explanation, he said informally, is that the solar system passes through an exceptionally massive arm of our own spiral Milky Way galaxy every 62 million years, and that that increase in galactic gravity might set off a hugely destructive comet shower that would drive cycles of mass extinction on Earth.
Periodic Mass Extinctions, Alexander €™s Thesis
Let us now look at Bob Alexander €™s thesis and calculations which I will vary somewhat to determine the actual length of the Cosmic Year. Periodic mass extinctions appear to have happened at least several times throughout the Earth’s history. The K/T boundary, as it is called, marks the end of the reign of the dinosaurs and is about 65 Million years old. It is popularly believed that a large asteroid struck the Earth causing a worldwide change in climate, which interrupted the food chain.
More recently discovered ‘Smoking Gun’ evidence points to another mass extinction, which occurred around 251 Million years ago when another large asteroid presumably struck the earth. And there appears to be even newer evidence that mass extinctions may happen at the rate of every 62 Million years (+/- 3MY).

438 MYA (Ordovician)
50% + some over time
/7 = 62.57 MY
Average 63.796 MY
By virtue of the chart above I believe the average is more like 63.796 MY, but for now let’s say that 62 MY (based on current physical evidence) is the periodic mass extinction average. 251 / 62 = 4.048 (Remember that number)
Something happens every 62 Million (or so) years, which puts us in harm’s way, so to speak. In its orbit around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, our Solar system may also do this little sinusoidal motion from the top to the bottom to the top (and so on) of the Orion arm which we go around in. Now, what if the period of one cycle through the arm is around 124 Million years? Within one cycle, we would pass through the middle of the ring (the most dense part) twice and about every 62 million years.
As we spin around in the arm our forward motion (~150,000 miles/sec) is continuous, but if we go up and down also, that rate would change with position due to angular motion.
Now, it is bad enough that we would traverse this much more dense part of the ring, but we would go through its’ center at maximum velocity, much faster (in the up/down axis) than when we reach the outer edges of the arm where that relative motion (again up/down) stops altogether so that it can reverse. If we didn’t stop (in the up/down axis), we would just fly off into deep space and it would be bye-bye Milky Way. But luckily (or not) all of the mass nearer the center of the arm has gravitational force with acts to pull us back in for yet another cycle. It may well be that these huge killer asteroids do not ‘hit us’ as much as we run into them because of our high speed ‘sweeping’ through a large area of space.
The center of the ring isn’t a hard boundary, it is just more dense than on either side and there is a density gradient as you move away from the center. So, there is some latitude for interval timing due to this ‘kill zone’ principal.
The Earth has had eight centerline passes in 251 Million Years. The error of margin then is about 375,000 years per centerline pass or 187,500 years on either side of it. The dinosaurs were wiped out by a big asteroid 65 Million Years ago and we are due for the next one just about… yesterday… minus ~3 MY. In other words, either we are ~3 Million years overdue or just got lucky on this pass.
Let’s look at a few numbers. The Milky Way Galaxy is about 100,000 Light Years (LY) in diameter. Our Solar system is about 26,000 light years or about 2/3 of the way out from the galactic center and we revolve at 250 kilometers or about 150,000 miles per second. We make one revolution every 226 Million Years, which means that we have made about 20 revolutions since the Earth was formed about 4.5 Billion Years ago. It is estimated that there are between 200 and 400 BILLION other stars in the Milky Way and that at least some of those have planets. It is likely from looking at our own Solar system that at least some of those planets probably have moons. That’s a lot of stuff – not to mention asteroids and comets.
a graphic, which illustrates the theory.
It is believed that we are about 10 Light Years (LY) away from the centerline of the Orion arm, which is believed to be 3000 LY thick in our vicinity. We appear to be right in the middle of the rocks, the densest part of the arm.
If the last mass extinction was 65 Million Years ago and the half cycle period is around 62 MY then we are in a predictable (not to mention scary position) especially if we are moving away from the centerline.
If you think there is anything we could do to stop one of these killer asteroids if one were discovered tomorrow, you have been watching too many Hollywood movies. However, NASA places a high priority on finding Near- Earth Objects (NEOs) and protecting Earth from them.
Established in 1998, NASA’s NEO Observations Program is responsible for the Agency’s efforts at finding, tracking, and characterizing NEOs. The agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena Calif., conducts the daily operations of the program. In 2010, NASA fulfilled a congressional mandate to discover at least 90 percent of 1-kilometer-sized NEOs, and is now working hard to find smaller NEOs. NASA’s NEO Observation Program is also a key member of the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN), organized last year by the United Nations. In response to UN COPUOS recommendations, space agencies are also establishing a Space Missions Planning Advisory Group to consider options for planetary defense against potential NEO impacts with Earth.
This artist’s concept shows the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE spacecraft, in its orbit around Earth. In 2013, the mission was brought out of hibernation to hunt for more asteroids and comets in a project called Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE). The spacecraft st accurate survey to date of the size distributA announced its Asteroid Initiative, which includes a bold mission to identify, capture and relocate an asteroid through the Asteroid Redirect Mission, and the Asteroid Grand Challenge to find all asteroids threats to human population and know what to do about them.

Chosen: Chronicles of an Alien Abductee 5 Stars.
Alien abductions are the kind of thing most people have a healthy skepticism about. After all, when the main proof comes from the people who have claimed to be abducted, and it is difficult to give too much credence to what they might say. Sometimes, however, the proof they give is so compelling that even the heartiest skeptic must sometimes be convinced to believe that it may at least be possible. That is the case with Byron Lacy’s account in Chosen.
Lacy’s book is full of recollections not only of his abductions by various aliens, but also of how those abductions have affected his life.
He tells them in such a straightforward, ordinary way, and with so many details, that it’s hard to be skeptical about his story. The details, too, are convincing enough to make anyone at least consider the possibility. After all, what other explanation could there be for a small child being healed of sarcoma after a doctor told his parents that they might as well have another child already as a replacement? What other explanation could there be for Byron’s numerous accounts of having “lost time,” or of his finding scratches and puncture wounds on his body, or of the memories that suddenly resurface about having been brought aboard an alien ship? These questions kept returning to my mind as I read, and I could think of no other answer except to believe that Lacy was telling the truth.
The one complaint I had about the book is the way Lacy presents his story. It does not go in chronological order, which can make it rather hard to follow, and I sometimes had trouble telling when a particular chapter took place. If you stick with it, though, you will find a compelling story that I would recommend to anyone who has had even the slightest question about whether we really are alone in the universe. SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW.
Scoop marks on Byron’s right leg
Byron W. Lacy has written an excellent book that should be read by everyone, because if you suspect you are an abductee this is the book you should read. Lacy, a civil servant, musician, artist, and poet was born in Texas. The young Byron was not expected to survive a childhood case of sarcoma cancer. Yet he did, miraculously. In 1961, he witnessed a flying submarine like thing at close range over his entire elementary school class as they exercised in the yard. Other uncanny events include repeated narrow escapes from deadly car accidents. Only in 2009, after seeing a couple of “stargates” materialize in the sky was Lacy convinced he had been alien plagued and abducted for a generation. His imaginary playmate “pirates” Byron saw, as a little boy were the enigmatic intruders. Byron believes he and fellow “abductees” endured many strange experiences: missing time, bodily implants and mysterious scarring, and “little gray” humanoids. For Byron, it is obvious; skeptics be damned, and countless folks are being abducted. A far-out, disconcertingly readable memoir that flatly declares everything about aliens you read online or see dramatized on TV is true. _Kirkus Reviews, ORDER HERE

Sightings in the United States
Alaska Disc
Ketchikan— I was at home and watching webcams on March 11, 2016. Ketchikan Public Utilities (KPU) operates six views of the docks, water, and the town. Every few minutes the cameras update. So I captured a few images and went back into the cams. It was then I noticed the dark orb in a south facing cam. Reviewing all five cams only the two facing south had the orb from two separate locales. Each confirmed the orb as real and not camera lens problems. The object drifted slightly. I could tell by lining up distant mountains and close up objects of the cams and capturing the object. After about three hours, one cam lost the orb. What was weird is on the other cam it was still there. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Square
San Ramón — My friend and I were having a sleep over late at night four years ago when I awoke at 3:59 AM in my sleeping bag. I looked out into the dark sky through the space in between my friend’s bedroom blinds on July 7, 2012 and saw a plane. Quickly realized it was flashing too fast and moving way to slow for a plane. I also noticed it was square; I wake up my friend as fast as I can in his bed. He is as fascinated as I am. I snap a quick picture of the object. Then I noticed it was speeding up and the lights seemed like it was on fire and would stay in our vision for 5-6 minutes. We felt puzzled and scared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Orbs
Ocklawaha — What looked like three silver diamond shaped objects hovering March 7, 2016. They moved a little while and then stopped at 9 PM. Then I saw three saucer shaped objects move what looked like the same direction. The objects had blinking red and white lights on and off. Then they disappeared. Then in the day I saw a silent silver object triangle fly across the sky with a little bit of white trail, but it wasn’t a plane It made no noise. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Georgia Lights
Savannah— I was walking on River Street taking many night photos using my LUMIX DSLR camera on March 9. 2016.
When I came back to my girlfriend’s dorm to look at my photos, we noticed the strange lights above the bridge. I have no idea what it can be. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan Orange Object
Detroit— On March 12, 2016, I was taking a photo of the Moon and observed an orange object in the sky. The object was moving very slowly and appeared to be almost hovering. I had my camera and started taking photos (first with a 400mm Lens and then with a 35mm lens exposed over 30 seconds). In trying to ascertain what these light are I Googled “Orange Lights UFO” and came across your website. Note: The witness edited the photo before sending. The original (unedited) photo has been requested. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
New Jersey Alien Craft Near Miss
Williamstown — My brother and I were walking towards our house on March 2, 2016, we saw a bright star moving slightly in a circular motion. It was coming closer with each small circular revolution. I grabbed a pair of binoculars, and focused on the UFO. You could clearly observe five red-orange lights, in a circle on the object, with a light blue aura. We noticed multiple planes come close to the object, and each time one did, you’d notice the UFO pan towards and then, away from the clearly visible plane coming close to it. The planes were always small in scale to the bright, star-like object. It was then, when another plane passed under it, did I realize the out of this world likeness of the object.
The lights from the object reflected off the plane, making the wings visible, clearly meaning it was no starlight reflecting, and was instead artificial light. Another 30 minutes went by, and I could not take my eyes off this elusive UFO. I put my finger in front of it as it moved away, appearing again.
My brother recorded the event, but due to the distance of the object, and the quality of his phone and camera, you can just barely see the light. The encounter ended, as I got tired of watching maneuver. After two hours of gazing upon it, I walked back in my house. A half hour went by and I stood outside to check, and there was nothing. NOTE: The above image is CGI. This case is under investigation by Chief Investigator Ken Pfeifer of MUFON New Jersey. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website
New York Lights
Downsville — I was driving and saw lights in my rear view mirror and side mirror. I grabbed my phone and took picture as fast as possible on August 3, 2012. As they went past me, they started to go up the fastest things I have ever seen. At that point, I do not remember driving home and came into in my driveway two+ hours later. I had no recollection how I got home. I have this picture to prove. Thanks to MUFON CMS’
Texas Lights
My wife, daughter, and I were on our way home on March 3, 2016, when I saw a bright light in the sky. We followed it for a minute or two then I got out and started recording with my iPhone.
When we pulled in the driveway that’s when my little girl ran out of the car and said, “I see it daddy I see it.” That’s when we saw five helicopters rotating around the object. We saw more lights moving changing colors that then took off. The other lights followed. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Vermont Orb
Brattleboro — The day of the event, I had been working on an art history article developing a new interpretation of Poussin’s “The Arcadian Shepherds” on March 4, 2016. During the afternoon, I made a major breakthrough that appears to have “solved” the riddle of the painting’s significance, which is on the same level as the Great Pyramids and Stonehenge. At around 7:30, I decided to take my dog for a walk. She pulled very hard at the leash to head for Brattleboro Retreat where I observed the first vessel hovering above. It was a consistent, integrated structure, similar in appearance to a cluster of red grapes, composed of lights of varying sizes, flickering in a chaotic rhythm. The pattern of lights implied the existence of a larger form disguised as a high-altitude jet liner, as if was intended to convey an aesthetic effect. The vessel hovered silently over the Retreat before vanishing over the West River.
Then another vessel appeared, much higher in altitude and made up of two egg-shaped golden lights and I made out a cigar shape behind these lights. I turned south and the sky was covered in a kind of hyper dimensional manifold of red orb dancing upwards. The craft(s) appeared in some way to be an optical illusion, a demonstration of a cloaking mechanism. I then saw three more vessels: a steady, pulsating red orb, an irregular assemblage similar to the first vessel, and a curved red and green cluster of lights similar in shape to a caterpillar. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide Sightings
Australia Light
Yarra Valley — My husband and I went up in a hot air balloon between 6-7.30 AM, on February 15, 2016. At the time we didn’t notice anything but the scenery but when I was looking at the videos on my iPhone when we came home I found this strange moving object that seemed to have light emanating from the bottom of it. I did not eye witness this and only noticed it on the video after we returned from our trip near Victoria. At first, I thought it may have been the camera light or something but its movements didn’t match the movement of my panning. Anyway thought I might share it with someone like you in case it was something a bit more unusual. Thanks to Shar
Canada Orb
The large UAP have returned from the previous day at Sunset.
Very large and bright, spinning and made different shapes of the craft :).
It was wonderfully delightful sight to see once again and take great photos of this UAP. I have rather expected it to see.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
France Light
It was nice and quite dark cloud attracted my attention on June 21, 2013.
I took pictures and I saw appear a lumièere so I took a second photo where you can see this strange form. You can see it on second photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS’
Iran Orbs
Andisheh, Tehran— Looking out of the window, my partner and I saw a glowing, moving object across the sky on March 15, 2015. Then we saw a stream of objects following one another. Some came nearer to our fourth floor apartment. They all followed the same route and were glowing balls moving at a steady pace although a couple came closer to one another. This was National Fireworks night and many were going off across the sky but these were not fireworks. As the evening progressed and the fireworks died down, so did the number of objects passing to one every 5-10 minutes. They continued to travel to a destination out of our sight. One of the objects flew right over that was a bright, glowing circular object, about the size of a lorry with circles of lights like windows. This is not the first time we have seen UFO’s in Tehran. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Malaysia Rectangle
Kuala Lumpur— It was in around 5.30 pm on February 15, 2016, I had just thrown a bag of rubbish out and looked up and saw a black object. The object had no wings and was flying quite high in the sky. I am staying is where passenger planes flies and I am quite accustomed to the height of these planes. The object was flying at the same height of these passenger planes are flying that was too high for a bird. I had my iPhone to record the object that was the size of the cockpit section of a passenger plane. The object is flying very fast, the speed of a passenger plane. The silent object is square like but as it flies and turns, I can see that the top part of the object is rectangular with straight lines running across from the center to the edge and I lost sight of the object when it flew to the back of my house. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Spain Orb
Tenerife — Six people at dinner take pictures of the sunset, and checking the pictures found the object in two pictures in a different place. I’m the owner of “revelacion OVNI” blog, and there we take reports of ufos from countries of Spanish language “Spain And Sud-America” similar system like “MUFON reports” then we have one report from Argentina with the same “exact” ufo: if you want compare you can check San Nicolas, Argentina > Paula B. Farias revelacionovni. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Light
Malden Surrey, London–- It all started about a year ago when I saw a ball of light in the sky. I took pictures of it. The object did not move like a plane. It was just hovering in one spot. Over the space of a year I have see it every couple of weeks when I am just gazing out my window. It hovers there and sometimes its lights go out when a plane approach’s or it moves up into the sky. Then the bright light comes back on and then all of a sudden it goes to come back again another day. It just hovers around the same place and then moves across the sky very slowly until it flies off without the lights on! My camera is not good. It is a lot bigger when you see it with your eyes!
Note: The witness says that she has had similar sightings over the past year. The lights in the photo could be reflections, but the witness says that she saw the lights. (This is more credible than when witnesses do not see anything unusual and only discover anomalies in photo.) Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter: tien jaar in een baan om de rode planeet
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter: tien jaar in een baan om de rode planeet
Tim Kraaijvanger
Op 10 maart 2006 om 22:24 uur kwam de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter aan bij de rode planeet. Tijd om terug te blikken. Wat zijn de mooiste foto’s die deze ruimtesonde heeft gemaakt?
Hoewel de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter exact tien jaar in een baan om Mars draait, is het ruimtevaartuig pas in november 2006 begonnen met de hoofdmissie. Toen bereikte de MRO de juiste baan om Mars. In tien jaar tijd is er veel gebeurd. Zo viel de ruimtesonde de eerste jaren regelmatig uit door softwareproblemen.
Tijdens de vijfde verjaardag – in 2011 – publiceerden we een artikel met de mooiste foto’s. Bekijk hier beelden van zandduinen op Mars, Martiaanse grotten, ijsbergen en ‘gulles’ (gleuven ontstaan door stromend water).
Ondertussen zijn er weer veel nieuwe foto’s gemaakt en zijn er belangrijke ontdekkingen gedaan. Een paar hoogtepunten op een rij:
Op Mars stroomt hoogstwaarschijnlijk zout water. De Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter ontdekte donkere strepen op Mars (zogenoemde Recurring Slope Lineae), die alleen in warmere seizoenen op Mars te vinden zijn. Het CRISM-instrument aan boord van de MRO identificeerde zoutmineralen. Mogelijk is het zoute water op Mars superzout. “Het is waarschijnlijk tien keer zouter dan het zeewater op aarde, dus een mens zou wanneer het in contact komt met deze zoutoplossingen brandwonden oplopen,” vertelt professor Steve Pointing.
Is dit een foto van een appeltaart? Nee, het is een twee kilometer breed verschijnsel op het oppervlak van Mars. Mogelijk is het appeltaartje door vulkanisme ontstaan. Mogelijk duwde lava de heuvel omhoog boven de ‘zee’ van glad uitziende lavastromen.
De MRO vond vorig jaar glasafzettingen in inslagkraters op Mars. Wanneer een object inslaat op een planeet – zoals Mars – komt daarbij veel hitte vrij. Zoveel hitte, dat er glasdeeltjes kunnen ontstaan. Het is interessant om glasafzettingen te bestuderen, omdat er wellicht organische moleculen ‘gevangen’ zijn in het glas, net zoals fossielen in hars de tand des tijds doorstaan. Wetenschappers hopen ooit glas te gebruiken om te ontdekken hoe Mars er miljarden jaren geleden uitzag.
Heeft Mars een dik pak ijs onder het oppervlak? Waarschijnlijk! Onderzoekers hebben deze vreemde krater op Mars gevonden, met dank aan de MRO. De wand van deze krater is niet glad, maar trapvormig. Mogelijk is de trap ontstaan door het dikke ijs. Hoe het precies zit, lees je hier.
Mars had 500.000 jaar geleden nog oppervlaktewater. Mogelijk kon je een half miljoen jaar geleden zwemmen in de Istockkrater, tijdens één van de recente ijstijden. Het ijs smolt, waardoor er oppervlaktewater overbleef. Het water stroomde overigens maar een hele korte tijd op Mars.
Op Mars is een steen van een heuvel komen zetten en heeft daarbij een spoor achtergelaten dat zelfs vanuit de ruimte zichtbaar is. De Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter vereeuwigde het 500 meter lange spoor. Als je goed kijkt, zie je de steen aan het einde van het spoor liggen. Of beter gezegd: staan. De steen heeft namelijk een asymmetrische vorm en is zo’n zes meter hoog.
Deze jonge krater is 45 meter breed en is eind maart 2012 ontstaan. Het is de grootste krater die ooit aan de hand van foto’s die voor en na de inslag werden gemaakt, is ontdekt. De ruimtesteen was ongeveer drie bij vijf meter lang. In de aardse atmosfeer verbrandt zo’n object, maar omdat de atmosfeer van Mars aanzienlijk dunner is, overleeft een kleine ruimtesteen de reis door de atmosfeer.
Op deze mooie foto is het spoor van NASA’s Curiosity rover te zien. De foto werd gemaakt op 11 december 2013. Op dat moment bevond Curiosity zich ruim een jaar op het oppervlak van Mars. In 16 ‘aardse’ maanden had de Marsrover bijna vijf kilometer afgelegd. Niet slecht!
De Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter zal nog een ruime tijd ingezet worden. Niet alleen voor het schieten van hoge-resolutiebeelden van het Marsoppervlak, maar ook voor het versturen van data. Op naar het volgende jubileum.
Twee geheime kamers ontdekt achter Toetanchamons graf
Twee geheime kamers ontdekt achter Toetanchamons graf
Tim Kraaijvanger
Wetenschappers hebben twee geheime kamers gevonden achter de grafkamer van Toetanchamon. Uit scans blijkt dat er organisch materiaal in de grafkamer aanwezig is. Misschien is het wel de vrouw van de vader van Toetanchamon: Nefertiti?
Op Scientias.nl volgen we de zoektocht van de geheime kamers rondom de grafkamer van Toetanchamon op de voet. Onderzoeker Nicholas Reeves kwam als eerste met het idee. In een paperstelde hij dat er een grafkamer schuilgaat achter het graf van Toetanchamon. Hij trok die conclusie nadat hij beelden van de wanden van Toetanchamons grafkamer tot in detail bestudeerde. In de schilderingen ontdekte de Brit scheuren die suggereren dat onder het pleisterwerk twee doorgangen schuilgaan die al sinds de oudheid niet meer zijn gebruikt. De ene doorgang zou naar een opslagkamer leiden, de andere doorgang zou leiden naar een tweede grafkamer.
Op basis van radarbeelden stelden onderzoekers in november vast dat er inderdaad een geheime kamerachter de noordelijke wand is. Maar er is meer. Een nieuw onderzoek wijst uit dat er een tweede geheime kamer is achter de westelijke wand van de grafkamer van Toetanchamon. Daarnaast zijn er metalen en organische (!) objecten gevonden. De grote vraag is: wie liggen er hier? Gaat het misschien om Nefertiti? Zij was de vrouw van de vader van Toetanchamon en beroemd om haar schoonheid. Sommige onderzoekers denken dat Nefertiti de moeder van de farao was, maar dat is niet zeker. Farao Toetanchamon overleed toen hij pas negentien jaar was, waardoor er waarschijnlijk nog geen graftombe voor hem klaarstond. Mogelijk werd daarom de tombe die oorspronkelijk bedoeld was voor Nefertiti gebruikt.

Op deze plattegrond is te zien waar de objecten zich bevinden.
Aan het eind van deze maand gaan onderzoekers opnieuw radarfoto’s maken. Op 1 april worden de resultaten hiervan gepresenteerd. Langzaam maar zeker leren archeologen steeds meer over de bijzondere farao.
Het graf van Toetanchamon – ook wel bekend als DK 62 – werd in 1922 ontdekt door Howard Carter en wordt nog steeds gezien als een van de grootste archeologische ontdekkingen van de vorige eeuw, zeker omdat het graf vrijwel geheel ongeschonden is.
Egypt's Antiquities Minister confirmed the discovery of two new rooms at King Tut's tomb and hinted that their contents could be of enormous significance.
Mamdouh al-Damaty announced to the media that radar scans for the location showed a pair of previously unknown chambers adjacent to the legendary resting place of the Egyptian pharaoh.
Perhaps even more tantalizing is that al-Damaty revealed that the investigation showed organic material and metal inside the rooms, leading to the possibility they also be lavish tombs.
"It could be the discovery of the century. It's very important for Egyptian history and the history of the world," al-Damaty declared when making the announcement.
The Minister's words echo those of his colleague, Tourism Minister Hisham Zaazou, who made news back in February when he said that the newly-discovered rooms were "full of treasure" and that they were "the discovery of the 21st century."
Additional scans on the rooms are scheduled to be performed later this month, but no timetable was announced for any exploration of the area.
Until researchers can actually get into the rooms and see what they contain, we'll have our fingers crossed in the hopes that they just found the original two ancient aliens.
One creature can survive for millennia in the so-called 'Sea of Death'
By Zaria Gorvett
They fell out of the sky and landed on the pale blue planet with a splash. Many of the crew missed the whole thing. Deep inside the spacecraft, arranged in neat stacks, were rows and rows of sleeping astronauts. Each was curled up inside their own pod, where they could have stayed for 10,000 years.
These were no ordinary space travellers. In the following weeks, they burst from their shells and developed into full-blown aquatic monsters: they are salmon-pink, with three eyes and eleven pairs of thrashing legs.
This really happened. The year was 1972 and the slumbering passengers were brine shrimp, otherwise known as "sea monkeys", returning from the Apollo 16 moon mission. They had been taken into space to test the impacts of cosmic radiation on astronauts.
This treacherous experiment required a near-indestructible guinea pig. Enter the brine shrimp, whose survival skills defy belief.
You can safely dry them out, set them on fire, dissolve them in alcohol, deprive them of oxygen, zap them with ultraviolet light, boil them at 105 °C or chill them to temperatures approaching absolute zero: the point at which atoms stop moving. They can also survive extremes of pH that would dissolve human flesh, water that is 50% salt, or a bath of insecticides. They are happy in the vacuum of space or at the crushing pressures found under 6,000 metres (20,000 feet) of ocean.
We are now starting to understand how they do it.

Space is drenched in high-energy particles called cosmic rays, which easily rip through cells, tissues and the aluminium walls of a spacecraft. The Moon was the perfect place to study their effects.
Brine shrimp look rather fragile, with their wafting legs and long antennae
The "Biostack I" experiment involved stacking brine shrimp embryos, along with plant seeds and bacterial spores, between layers of radiation-sensitive materials. Any rays that passed through the stack would end up on the detection layer, so the NASA scientists knew exactly which passengers had been hit.
Of 110 brine shrimp embryos that took a galactic bullet, many hatched – albeit with deformities – and a few went on to live full shrimp lives.
A follow-up experiment called Biostack II was taken to the Moon by Apollo 17 later the same year. It achieved similar results.
The strange thing is, brine shrimp look rather fragile, with their wafting legs and long antennae. What is their secret?
Great Salt Lake in Utah is home to brine shrimp (Credit: John McLean/Alamy Stock Photo)
Despite their brand name, sea monkeys do not live in the open ocean. They have been splashing around in salty pools and lakes, from the Great Salt Lake in Utah to the Caspian Sea, for over 100 million years.
If you live in a pond, there is always a risk that it will dry out
Brine shrimp are also not shrimp, but they do belong to the same group, the crustaceans. They are tiny, just 15mm long. They eat algae, which they filter out of the water. They swim upside-down and breathe through their legs, and females do not need a male to reproduce.
Crucially, they have a unique affinity for salt. They can tolerate concentrations up to 50%. Such water is far saltier than the ocean, which is only about 3.5% salt, and the salt will be on the verge of precipitating out as a solid. The brine shrimp are fine with this.
But there is a catch: if you live in a pond, there is always a risk that it will dry out. The pools and lakes brine shrimp inhabit frequently disappear for months, years or decades. This should be a gigantic problem, but the brine shrimp simply dry out.

When conditions are favourable, female brine shrimp produce thin-shelled eggs that hatch immediately. But when food is scarce or salt levels are rising, they resort to plan B. They produce hard-shelled "cysts", each of which contains a near-fully-developed larva.
Radiocarbon dating estimated they had been lying there for 10,000 years
These cysts are able to withstand near-total dehydration, losing more than 97% of their water content. All their life processes stop and they enter a state of suspended animation called anhydrobiosis, a bizarre stopover between life and death.
As anyone who has kept sea monkeys as pets will know, to resurrect the embryos you just add water. The cysts take on 1.4 times their weight in less than 24 hours, before hatching into larvae the size of the full stop at the end of this sentence. When they first hatch they have just one primitive eye, though they add two more sophisticated eyes later.
It is an aggressive strategy for an aggressive environment, and it works. In the 1990s, oil exploration crews were drilling near the Great Salt Lake when they dredged up a mat of cysts between two layers of salt. Wondering whether they would hatch, they put some in water and reportedly a few did. Radiocarbon dating estimated they had been lying there for 10,000 years.
Water is the liquid in which the molecules inside our cells move and mix, giving rise to life-sustaining chemical reactions. So taking it away brings those processes to a halt.
But for most animals, losing too much bodily water doesn't just shut things down, it causes lethal damage. Humans can only lose 15% of our bodily water, and few animals can lose more than 50%.
As water is removed, the molecules inside our cells lose the three-dimensional network that buoys them up. Proteins, sugars, and chromosomes become warped and break down.
Ice crystals act like tiny knives, ripping cells apart from the inside out
The challenge is to allow molecules to keep their shape as they dry out. For this, brine shrimp have a sweet solution: they turn their cells into solid sugar.
The cysts are loaded with an unusual sugar called trehalose, which makes up 15% of their dry weight. It forms a solid rather like the glass in windows. This "matrix" props up proteins and membranes, maintaining their structures, and freezes them in place.
Trehalose is the magic ingredient uniting most organisms capable of suspended animation, including the near-invincible tardigrades, certain nematode worms, and the larvae of an African fly called the sleeping chironomid.
On its own, trehalose simply allows the brine shrimp to cope with dehydration. But that may be the key to many of their abilities. As it happens, giving up water has some surprising bonuses.
In the warm temperatures humans tend to favour, water is famous for its life-giving properties. But if you chill it or heat it too much, it becomes deadly. Ice crystals act like tiny knives, ripping cells apart from the inside out. Liquid water also expands as it approaches its freezing or boiling point, with similarly lethal effects.
It seems that their willingness to live in toxic places actually means their lives are safer
If you take away water, you take away all these threats. What's more, radiation does not pack much of a punch either.
Normally, cosmic rays interact with water molecules in the body. This unleashes highly reactive forms of oxygen, including chemicals similar to bleach. These chemicals rampage through cells and tissues, destroying anything in their path. Dried-out brine shrimp embryos side-step this danger.
Still, dehydration is not a cure-all. It does not protect DNA from a direct hit by a cosmic ray, or stop proteins unravelling as they heat up. So brine shrimp cysts have evolved several other tricks, from DNA repair molecules to proteins that lack a fixed structure in the first place.
Why did evolution push brine shrimp to become so resilient? It seems that their willingness to live in toxic places actually means their lives are safer.

Brine shrimp inhabit salt lakes, the conditions in which are so hostile that they are also known as "seas of death". For instance, the Great Salt Lake is between 5 and 27% salt, depending on how much water it holds.
Only a few animals can handle such extremes
The Lake sits at the bottom of a flat basin, which poses an additional challenge. If the water level drops by just a foot, the shoreline could move up to a mile. From 1963 to 1986, the lake swelled by nearly 60%.
If a shrinking shoreline and water saltier than bacon weren't enough, at the Great Salt Lake's high altitude creatures must be able to cope with 15% more ultraviolet light than there is at sea level. The final insult is the risk of suffocation, because salty water holds less dissolved oxygen.
As you might expect, only a few animals can handle such extremes. Apart from the larvae of two species of insectcalled brine flies, brine shrimp have the lake entirely to themselves. That means there are no predators hunting them.
However, brine shrimp's relationship with salt is not entirely positive.

Their cells cannot cope with too much salt, so they pump it out of their bodies and their hard exoskeletons stop it creeping back in. This is an energy-sapping process, so you could be forgiven for wondering why they bother to live in the salt lakes at all.
Their diet seems to be the key. In order to survive on tough, toxic algae, brine shrimp have struck up a relationship with the bacteria in their guts, which help them to digest their meals. Odrade Nougué of the University of Montpellier in France wondered if it might be these microbial companions that like salt, not the brine shrimp themselves.
Every summer when females lay their eggs, thick "slicks" marble the lake's surface
It turned out that the sterile brine shrimp did better in low salt, while the bacteria-riddled batch needed lots of salt. To Nougué, this suggests that the brine shrimp are victims of their own symbiotic partners. They cannot live without their gut bacteria and the bacteria want salt, so the brine shrimp have to put up with salt too.
Despite the challenges, living in super-salty water offers big payoffs: it is rich in algae and low in competition. In the Great Salt Lake, brine shrimp number in the billions. Every summer when females lay their eggs, thick "slicks" marble the lake's surface and the shores are awash with their pink offspring. The next spring, as the salt lake warms, billions of tiny larvae begin to hatch.

All these eggs and brine shrimp mean big business for the region, which collects around 9,000 tonnes of eggs, larvae and adults between October and January. That is equivalent to 45 full-size blue whales.
Freeze-drying could keep vaccines fresh in remote areas where refrigeration is difficult
It is the brine shrimp's very resilience that makes them so appealing. Their cysts are vacuum-packed or canned, and sold around the world. After a 24-hour incubation, the larvae are fed to fish on commercial farms.
They can also be eaten directly, as they have been by Native Americans for thousands of years. They have even been suggested as a source of food for long-term space travel.
Their cysts are also of increasing interest to medicine, thanks to their use of "sugar glass" to survive dehydration. Freeze-drying could keep vaccines fresh in remote areas where refrigeration is difficult, deliver insulin to diabetics without the need for injections, or give blood products like platelets a longer shelf life. Many of these sugar-coated products have already reached clinical trials.
