Great Stanton Friedman Full Interview Ron James' Bigger Questions
Great Stanton Friedman Full Interview Ron James' Bigger Questions
Published on Sep 21, 2015
Here is an interview I did with Stanton Friedman in its entirety. Stanton talks Bob Lazar and more!
The Great Pyramid of Giza… A Tesla-like powerplant created thousands of years ago
The Great Pyramid of Giza… A Tesla-like powerplant created thousands of years ago
The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the best examples of ancient energy machines. It was a Tesla-like power plant created thousands of years ago. It was a huge ancient structure that was capable of using the Earth’s natural properties in order to create or produce a great amount of energy. This energy is believed to have been used by the ancient Egyptians and other cultures such as the ancient Maya and other cultures around the globe for millennia. This theory, however, has been firmly rejected by mainstream researchers.
If we approach the history of ancient civilizations from another perspective, we will encounter that ancient civilizations around the globe were, in fact, extremely sophisticated and used advanced technologies thousands of years before mainstream science ‘reinvented them’.
The idea that civilizations around the world have evolved from a primitive state, towards a more advanced one is something that mainstream scholars have tried to implement and place as the ultimate truth inside our society, schools and history books. However, this is not the case as numerous researchers around the globe suggest. In fact, ancient civilizations were far more advanced than we believe.
Looking at the historical references that can be found in numerous ancient civilizations around the globe, we will find numerous patterns and details that tell a different story than the one being imposed by mainstream scholars.
These advanced technologies were present in ancient Egypt, Ancient Sumer, and in North, Central and South America. Electricity, electrochemistry, electromagnetictechnology,metallurgy,advanced engineering, including hydrogeology, chemistry, physics and advanced forms ofmathematics and astronomy were all used thousands of years ago to great extents.
Many researchers agree that in the distant past, electricity was widely utilized in the land of the Pharaohs, with the Baghdad battery being one of the best examples of such advanced technology. Mainstream schools, however, do not agree. But by examining the careful history and details left behind by the ancient Egyptians, a different truth is immediately revealed where we can see that sophisticated illumination techniques were used during the construction of Pyramids and other buildings in ancient Egypt.
While mainstream scholars firmly disagree with the notion that ancient Egyptians used electricity to light up ancient buildings, many believe that there is enough evidence to support this notion. Intricate carvings demonstrate that the ancient Egyptians utilized what appear to be handheld torches that were not lit up by fire, and were as many believe, powered by means of wireless electricity, thousands of years ago.
But these mysterious torches were not the only example in ancient Egypt. It is believed that the ancient lighthouse in Alexandria was powered by an ‘Arc lamp’, and is another crucial piece of evidence suggesting that electricity was used in Ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. But, the electricity required to power such incredible structures on a daily basis could only have been provided by a regular ‘huge’ electrical source.
This is why, many people believe that the Great Pyramid of Giza, whose purpose remains a mystery, is believed to have been used in the distant past, as some sort of giant energy machine, used to power numerous devices across Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza is considered an ancient masterpiece of engineering and architecture and one of the best –if not best– examples of ancient construction.
While the idea that the Great Pyramid of Egypt were used as giant power plant generating free, wireless energy, is firmly rejected by mainstream scholars, this theory could explain numerous enigmas about the Pyramid itself and the sophisticated society that settled at the Nile River thousands of years ago.
Interestingly, the outer casing of the Great Pyramid of Giza was covered by ‘white tufa limestone’, put together in such a way that nothing could fit in between the stones. It is noteworthy to mention that the ‘white tufa limestone’ used in the outer casing of the Great Pyramid of Giza does not contain magnesium and has very high insulating properties. It is believed that this sophisticated insulation property allowed the ancient Egyptians to fully control the release of energy from within the Pyramid.
InN addition, to the outer casing, the stone blocks used in the inner parts of the Great Pyramid were made from another form of limestone, which contains small amounts of crystals and metals which are believed to be two important properties that allowed maximum power transmission. Even more interestingly is the fact that the shafts built inside the Great pyramid were made of granite, and is a slightly radioactive substance permitting the ionization of the air inside the air shafts of the Great Pyramid, similar characteristics can be found in a conductive insulating cable.

The only thing missing for the Great Pyramid of Giza to function as a great giant power wireless plant was a source of energy which is why the ancient builders of the Great Pyramid took advantage of the water at the Giza plateau. Interestingly the Giza plateau where the pyramids are located is full of underground water channels. The Pyramids at the Giza plateau rise above the limestone layers located underneath (Aquifers), and the spaces in between them are filled with great amounts of water, and these layers of rock are capable of transmitting energy upwards as they carry the underground water to the surface. This means that the high volume flow of water that passes through these underground cavities is capable of producing an electrical current; known as physio-electricity. Physio-electricity can be defined as ‘Electricity obtained from the natural physical movements with the help of certain harnessing devices can be termed as physio-electricity. For example, energy from walking, energy from flowing stream of a river (Nile river flowing through aquifers.’ (Source)
The chambers built within the Great Pyramid of Giza are considered as granite conductors implemented in the design, charged with ‘physio-electricity’. This means that given the material and specific construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the electromagnetic field that forms at the very bottom of the Pyramid is transmitted towards the upper layers of the pyramid. It is believed that in the distant past, a device of excellent electric conductivity was located on the top of the pyramid, where today an empty space remains the only evidence of a pyramid that in the past, looked very different.
Interestingly, traces of this long-lost ancient technology were rediscovered in the 1900’s by the great Nikola Tesla. Located at the Wardenclyffe tower he built between 1901 and 1917, Tesla applied a nearly identical form of this ancient technology, used in Egypt over 4000 years ago. Tesla’s tower was also believed to have been built upon aquifers, which means that the electric technology used by Tesla is nearly identical to that applied in the construction of the Great Pyramid. Both the Great Pyramid of Giza and Tesla’s magnificent Wardenclyffe tower were systems that generated negative ions and were capable of transmitting them without the need for electric cables, a completely free and wireless energy that powered other electrical components through vast distances.
But it appears that the Ancient Egyptians were not the only ones to have understood the benefits of this ancient technology.
A recent study has shown that a natural sinkhole, also known as ‘cenote’ is located underneath the Pyramid of Chichen Itza. Experts have found it is connected to other caverns and lakes in the area. The water filling the cavern is thought to run from north to south. This means that the Pyramid of Chichen Itza sits upon a subterranean water source just as Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower, and the Great Pyramid of Giza

Filer’s Files 15 -2016 Europe’s UFO Crashes - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Europe’s UFO Crash, German Discs, Hillary and UFOs, Weather Control, North Korea Subs, and Mars Triangle.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana,, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, and Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Netherlands,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.
Forward these files to your friends and neighbors.

Europe’s UFO Crash
William Brophy writes, “I was invited by Dr. Roberto Pinotti to the San Marino Republic UFO Symposium as a speaker to talk about the 1933 UFO crash near Milano, Italy and the 1942 Battle of Los Angeles which involve the tall blond Nordics who meet with President Eisenhower at Edwards Afb in 1954 and at Holloman AFB in 1955.”
On June 13, 1933, a bell shaped UFO crashed near Magenta, Italy just west of Milano.
The occupants were tall blond Nordics with oriental like features on their light blue eyes. The Italians called the UFO la Campania; the Germans called it Die Locked. Benito Mussolini the Prime Minister of Italy informed Pope Pius 11 of the crash and placed G. Marconi in charge of the special rs-33 Study Group, which later served as a model for our Mj-12 group. The Japanese told the Italians and Germans that those tall blonde-haired people were in their legends; this led to the Axis Alliance.
New Documents “Will Revolutionize UFOlogy”!
The discovery of some documents from the fascist era of Italy opens up new horizons for research on UFOs, and compels students of this subject to amend the official history of the flying saucers. Under “Il Duce”, Mussolini, there was a secret government commission of enquiry, known as the RS/33 cabinet, which studied the UFOs. Then a second series of documents, in three different packages, posted in March-April 1996, were sent by “MR. X” to the top Italian ufologist Dr. Roberto Pinotti, Director of the Italian UFO research journal NOTIZIARIO UFO. The sighting of a flying cigar over the Venice and Mestre on the morning of August 17, 1936, was reported showing a “cigar” – described as “torpedo-shaped” – along with two spheres beside it, one of which resembled the planet Saturn, being pursued by a fighter aircraft. It was an *original document* – not a copy – about a UFO sighting LONG BEFORE THE SUBJECT OF UFOS EXISTED! (More than ten years before Kenneth Arnold. G.C.)
Three telegrams from the Milan office of the Stefani Agency (the Fascist A.N.S.A.), which gave instructions, *on the order of Dictator Duce Mussolini, to recuperate a flying saucer which had landed on June 13, 1933. There was also a Senatorial letter describing in detail the strategy to be followed after the craft had been recovered; i.e., censorship of the newspapers; arrest of the eyewitnesses; elaboration of a series of conventional explanations for the UFO (i.e. *sonde* balloons, meteors, perihelia) to be fed to the public via the Brera Astronomical Observatory at Milan.
It was discovered that the RS/33 CABINET had been a top-secret study commission, created in the bosom of La Sapienza University in Rome following upon the recuperation [sic] of the UFO. Headed by the physicist Guglielmo Marconi (known for his belief in Martians, After Italy’s accession to the Berlin-Rome Axis, by arrangement with Hitler this material was all subsequently to be passed to the Nazis (*who did, in actual fact, as a result, attempt a few years later to construct revolutionary discoidal aircraft called the V-7*.
In the first place, it has come to light that ever since the end of the Thirties a German aircraft designer named NORDUNG had been attempting to build a “solar” flying disc to be sent out into Space – subsequently re-baptized as the “flying wheel”, and so it is no wonder if the Italian Fascists, finding themselves confronted with a UFO, should have opted for the explanation that it was a secret weapon! The “Moretti” trail led me to the Varese region. My hypothesis is in fact that the saucer recovered in 1933 had been hidden in one of the nearest and most discrete hangars in that region – namely the hangars of the aeronautical establishments of the Siai Marchetti at Vergiate in the Varese region of Ticino which at that date were under the control of General Italo Balbo who became a member of the RS/33 CABINET). The “Varese trail” had been suggested to me through several clues: namely that the messages about recovery of the UFO came from the nearby Telegraphic Office of Milan: that in those very days Blackshirts were suddenly dispatched to that region, The Varese newspaper, the *Cronaca Prealpina*, of June 20, 1933, gave the first report, emphasizing that forms of life on Mars were in contact with men of
Mussolini and Hitler
Earth – the existence of agreements between Mussolini and Hitler for the study of alien technology, agreements that had been made in 1938; these documents were: an Agency Stefani message from Florence containing an interview with the Fuhrer Hitler when he was visiting Italy. Marconi claimed he could develop a *death ray*, which, so Mussolini said, had for one day, by remote control, halted all automobile and aircraft engines as far away as Ostia – a weapon which, by virtue of 1938 agreements between Mussolini and Hitler, would evidently reappear in the following year at Essen, Germany, causing a *total blackout* of the city according to the account given by the American ufologist Leonard Stringfield in his book UFO SIEGE (1977. It is likely the Fascists and the Nazis managed to achieve “back- engineering” from the UFO of 1933? The Fascist UFO Files nevertheless has a very special importance. For it demonstrates the existence of a governmentalcommission on UFOs *before* the official birth of UFOlogy itself ” If, at the end of the 1930s, the Italians were beginning to hear of German experiments with disc-shaped aircraft (which we do know existed and which certainly *were* test-flown), then is it surprising that many Italian scientists may well have suspected that any weird craft seen flying over Italy in the years from 1933 to 1936 might well also have been *German*? And then later, during WWII, they might logically have suspected that they were seeing “secret weapons of the enemy Allies”?
“Mussolini” himself was a keen flier, and held a pilot’s license. Who else among the leaders in WWII did that? Well, it seems that as Germany tightened her grip on Italy, the Germans were able to *command* the Italians to hand all the alien craft’s evidence over to them! Remember the remarkable German success in building at least two types of “saucer-shaped” multi-jet aircraft Roberto Pinotti, probably the best Italy’s UFO researcher confirms that it is 100% certain that the “Fascist UFO Files” are completely genuine. Thanks to the Flying Saucer Review, Volume 46/3, autumn 2001, pp. 13 – 17 and http://www.ufoevidence.org/documents/doc1885.htm
It is believed the Italians gave the Germans access to the alien craft and they were able to back engineer the craft to develop the so called Foo fighters often reported by allied bombing aircrews. The key was the advanced propulsion system.
Hitler and A UFO is observing this historical event.
MUFON reports that apparently four years after the crash a UFO was filmed over Czechoslovakia. I’m an ardent history buff. I was watching WWII in Color tonight and noticed something strange. Hitler is entering Czechoslovakia in May 1, 1937 and is being filmed. In the archival footage I noticed something strange. I rewind several times and can’t believe no one has noticed this before. Throughout is leadership Hitler often warned of greatly advanced weapons that would bring victory to the Nazi’s? Thanks to MUFON CMS
The Vril Society members were supposedly the first group to attempt the back engineering of an extraterrestrial spacecraft. A German writer, John Von Helsing, describes the discovery of a crashed saucer in the Black Forest, near Freiburg, in 1936 and says that this technology was taken and combined with the information the Vril Society had received through channeling and was made into a further project called theHaunebu. There are various stories of crashed saucers in Europe that are difficult to prove or deny.
The Japanese carried out a symbolic attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, in 1941, the city holiday of Milano, Italy. The tall blonde-haired people’s craft were the UFO’s over Los Angeles on February 25, 1942, and a large disk with a row of windows was shot down in the Santa Catalina Island and San Clement Island area recovered by the ars-1 Viking ship and taken to Moffat Field Navy Base. The Manhattan project at Berkeley next door studied the disk. The Trinity Bomb was named after Pope Pius 11 and the three-inch anti-aircraft guns used in Los Angeles. When the War was over, the U.S. Air Force members were infiltrated precisely into Sesto regarding the presence of terrestrial flying saucers kept at Vergiate, and that the entire region, from time immemorial, was at the centre of a most intense ufological activity – to such a degree that it gained the sobriquet of being “The Ticino Triangle”.
In April of 1945, the 1st Armored Division captured the Machete Aviation Facility where the 1933 Magenta UFO was kept and it was brought to the United States. My father Lt. Col. William J. Brophy was a B-29 bomber pilot with the 231 Air Base Group at Alamogordo, Nm and witnessed the Trinity Bomb. He told me the silver-plate B-29 bomber was named after the Los Angeles 1942 disks.
One month later on August 16, 1945, my father helped his commanding officer Col. Maurice A. Preston recover an oval shaped UFO with three very strange small light grey aliens with praying mantis features on their eyes and face. The UFO had destroyed a communications tower belonging to Stallion Site in the crash near Walnut Creek in San Antonio, Nm. My father told me President Eisenhower met with the tall blonde-haired people involved with the 1933 Italy crash at Edwards AFB on February 20, 1954. Eisenhower invited Cardinal John McIntyre to the meeting since Pope Pius 11 had told Roosevelt about the Nordic 1933 Magenta, Italy crash. Thanks to William Brophy.
German Discs
There are piles of reports of British and US pilots being tracked by fireballs which danced around their aircraft while driving their electronics systems crazy. At the end of WWII, three weeks before the U.S. went to Peenemünde to nab the V-2s and the scientists, including Wernher von Braun, the Brits went into the underground redoubts of the Nazis in Austria, the Black Forest and Thuringia. The results were three top secret trains, one of them 8 miles long (that one train alone was 655 box cars and flat cars). The trains took the stuff, some of which was too large to fit in box cars and had to be covered by tarpaulins on its way to the coast of Brittany (France), there to be loaded on board ships, taken through the Panama Canal up the coast to Vancouver, B.C., and from there by train 100 miles inland to the newly constructed surface facility of the A. V. Roe Company, which took over the research and development of the wingless jet powered saucer craft.
150 pre-fab factory buildings were sent from England to the same site. By 1947 it was dug completely underground for security reasons to protect from prying Russian over flights An underground facility with vertical shaft, still exists cobwebbed and silent about 150 miles East of Vancouver, British Columbia.
When the war ended, many German scientists were engaged by the USA to head their space program. But what of the German discs? Many such as William Tomkins believe that massive German U-boats transported many of them to a secret base in the Antarctic. That is when the US military kicked into action sending Admiral Byrd in his men to the frozen north. The battle that ensued saw heavy losses by the American’s but there are very few reports as to what actually happened there.
Operation Highjump, an operation to locate the Nazi base in the Antarctic was organized by Rear Admiral Richard E Byrd Jr., USN (Ret), Officer in Charge of Task Force 68 that commenced on 26 August 1946 and ended in late February 1947. Task Force 68 included 4,700 men, 13 ships, and 33 aircraft. According to Tomkins several ships were sunk and most of the aircraft destroyed by attacking UFOs from the Antarctic base. Later, Admiral Richard E. Byrd warned that the United States should adopt measures of protection against the possibility of an invasion of the country by high speed hostile planes coming from the Polar Regions.
Byrd also found plenty of magnetic anomalies, all of which were classified top secret when he got back. The interesting thing is this “magnetic anomaly”, it may be an entrance to a large “hollow place” That’s what “magnetic anomaly” means……
The Allies all grabbed the disc engineers; some went to Russia, Canada, Britain and others to the United States. Wernher von Braun and his Nazi cohort scientists were excused for their mistreatment of assembly line slaves and invited to partake in America’s rocket program, saucer scientists like Herr Miethe and his Nazi cohort scientists were invited and taken to work for A.V. Roe in the compound outside Vancouver.Background on Nazi craft and scientists imported to Canada: The addenda in the books by Harbinson, Genesis, Revelation, and Projekt Saucer. The suppressed and out of print book by Renato Vesco “Intercept But Don’t Shoot”, republished as Flying Saucers: From 1944-1994 by Renato Vesco and David Childress.]
The British Space Program was well underway during World War 11 with men such as Arthur C Clarke and H.E Ross launching an in-depth study of the possibility of moon landings. The British undertook intensive rocket testing at a huge range in South Australia, beginning in about 1946. The range was named Woomera and it is possible that the studies launched there led to manned space travel in years much earlier than we have been led to believe.’
Dr Carol Rosin was the first female corporate manager of Fairchild Industries and was spokesperson for Wernher von Braun in his later years. She founded the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space in Washington, DC, and has testified before Congress on many occasions about space-based weapons.
Von Braun revealed to Dr Rosin a plan to justify weapons in space, based on hoaxing first, a Russian threat, then a terrorist threat, an asteroid threat, then finally an extraterrestrial threat. (Rosin was also present at meetings in the 1970’s when the scenario for the Gulf War of the 1990’s was planned.) Undoubtedly some kind of deal was struck between the British secret service and the O.S.S. They brought down a couple of the jet powered saucers from British Columbia, and got to watch us sending V-2 firecrackers into the sky at White Sands.
Was the technology recovered used to develop some of the amazing advances in technology seen at the time? 1947 saw the sound barrier broken for the first time, the jet plane was tested successfully and the transistor invented? Many of the German team that had been responsible for the design of the V2 continued working on the American space program right through to the 1969 landing of men on the Moon. Thanks to Frank Chili.
Weather Control
Dozens of records of freezing temperatures are being broken by an April cold wave. I suggest enemies using weather modification, disease; financial disruption, natural disasters, and terrorism are attacking US and its allies. These attacks are hard to prove and but very effective. For example what is causing the severe drought in California? Russian equipment is diverting the rain clouds to Mexican crop growing operations. This winter devastating snow and cold weather hit much of the Midwest and Northeast with cold coming from Siberia. The weather control also brings larger and more devastating tornadoes and floods to the US and other allied countries.
Several countries such as China, Russia have large scientific teams studying weather alteration and the ability to make catastrophic modifications. The Beijing Weather Modification Office is part of China’s nationwide weather control effort, believed to be the world’s largest; it employs 37,000 people nationwide putting silver iodide or dry ice into clouds. We seem to falling behind in the weather control race, aircraft modern such as the C-17s and C-5s could drop chemicals into Tornado forming clouds and greatly weaken their potential destruction. Dr. James E. Mc Donald’s a famous ufologist’s weather studies showed how weather modification could occur with devices like HAARP.
Russian HAARP
He wrote that the government in the USA has failed to properly support basic scientific research since in weather modification in the mid-1970s. He wrote essays:

Hillary Pledges to Dig into UFO Files
Hillary Clinton and Laurence Rockefeller
Last week these files discussed the Hillary Clinton’s interest in UFOs.
Here is what transpired on Jimmy Kimmel Live on March 24, 2016 as over 2 million viewers looked on. Kimmel said: “When we had your husband, President Clinton, on this show [in 2014], I asked him about UFOs and Area 51,” Kimmel reminded Clinton. “If I was president, that’s the first thing I’d do. I’d go right into those files and see what was going on. And he said that he did do that, and that he didn’t find anything.” Clinton offered this provocative response: “Yes…well, I’m going to do it, again. And you know, there’s a new name,” Clinton added. “It’s unexplained aerial phenomenon — UAP — that’s the latest nomenclature.” (The Weekly Standard)
Correction I erred in stating the statements came from The Weekly Standard’s article about Kimmel’s show rather than from Lee Speigel.
Lee Speigel wrote, “As soon as I read that, I knew it sounded very familiar — and not just because I saw the same TV segment. You link your readers to The Weekly Standard as the source for those quotes in the paragraph above. Here’s the problem — the BIG problem. When I clicked on the link, I could see right away that the Weekly Standard didn’t have any of that stuff that your link took your readers to. In fact, all of that entire section above (beginning with Kimmel saying: “When we had your husband, President Clinton, on this show…” and ending with “…that’s the latest nomenclature.” ALL of that was lifted from MY Huffington Post story — I mean every part of it, including the non-quoted parts, where I wroteKimmel reminded Clinton…and Clinton offered this provocative response…and Clinton added… ALL of that is mine, from ME, MY story. Here is MY article, where you can see what I’m talking about: WebsiteThanks to Lee Speigel
North Korea Launches Ballistic Missiles from Submarine
North Korea is developing missile carrying submarines that would be able to launch nuclear weapons into the US West Coast. Kim Jong Un, oversaw the test-launch from an offshore location as the submarine dived and “a ballistic missile surfaced from the sea and soared into the air, leaving a fiery trail of blaze,” the official KCNA news agency said.
“Through the test, it was confirmed that the underwater ballistic missile launch from a strategic submarine fully achieved the latest military and technical requirements.” North Korea imported and made improvements on the Soviet Union’s R-27 missile (SS-N-6 named by NATO). North Korea had enhanced the missile so it could be used on a submarine and North Korean submarines have been spotted off the coast of the US.
I discovered this craft 2-18-16…looks like a triangle shaped craft to me……because of the surrounding topography, there could be no other explanation……. Ken Pfeifer
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
Arizona Cylinder
Cottonwood — I was out by the swimming pool and took a picture of the moon on July 7, 2015.
I captured something unusual that I did not see with my own eyes.

California Light
Ventura— I was walking to my car this morning on April 3, 2016, and noticed a cool pattern of jet trails in the sky. I snapped two photos but didn’t pay attention to the phone screen.
I returned home a few hours later and posted one of the photos on Instagram and titled it “X Marks The Spot”.
Weird..because I noticed a white circle on the right side of the photo. It was in that photo as well.
I zoomed in and it looks very odd! I asked a photographer friend of mine if it could possibly be a reflection from the camera lens but she doesn’t think so.
My daughter and ultiple people around Taft witnessed similar lights a while ago. The dark object is likely a bird.

Colorado CAMPERS Terrified
GRANT — My two best friends and I went winter camping on April 3, 2016, in our usual spot at Handcart Campground in Pike National Forest two nights ago. I will call my friends and I stayed up until about ten p.m. watching the campfire while B’s six year old son had gone to bed in the giant tent we were all sharing. The sky was absolutely clear as we got in the tent, and went to bed. My phone said it was 11:30 p.m. I was not at ease. And that was when I witnessed what appeared to be camera flashes going off just above our tent. Just as the wind hit its peak velocity, those lights went off. For the next ten minutes I was terrified. Another giant blast of wind caught the tent, the worst of the whole night, and I opened my eyes again to see another round of lights, this time green and situated at the opposite side of the tent’s top, flashing like paparazzi cameras for about five seconds. It was absolutely terrifying and I gripped my pistol inside my sleeping bag and felt my shotgun resting right beside the bag. The next thing I knew I was waking up to early morning light.
.My friends all woke up relatively soon after that and I asked them were if they’d seen the lights. My friend B’s face said everything. And the first thing he said was he thought he was going to have a heart attack. He repeated an experience that was identical to mine above, including the inability to slow his heart and having pain in his left shoulder associated with it until he finally passed out. The exception to his story being he also heard a series of shrill mechanical beeps just before the second round of lights (something I decided I must have missed due to the earplugs). He also said he heard me ask about lightning. We broke camp, packed up, and got the hell out of there.

Indiana Light
Trafalgar — First noticed a much brighter object than the eight airplanes that could be seen in the southwestern sky at sunset on April 3, 2016, while heading west on SR 252. The object appeared to be as the size and brightness of Venus, and it appeared to get brighter. As we drove two miles further west to the Dairy Queen the noticed the object had developed two tails coming off of what we could now identify as the source of light/reflection. The object was oval shaped like a football traveling sideways. It was now not as bright as before, but the two (2) tails were growing in length and diameter. The tails/trails came off the pointed ends and the body of the object would flicker with a silver light. The object was much higher, slower, brighter, and had two very pronounced tails that looked thicker and were not being quickly dispersed by the wind. It disappeared in the southwestern sky 25 minutes after first being seen. There were four witnesses. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Louisiana Light
New Llano — Came home from work exited car on March 28, 2016 and the flashing light caught my attention.
I ran in house got my camera shot images and video.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Minnesota Light
Faribault — On February7, 2016. beginning from 9:15 P.M. to midnight I witnessed 12+ UFO’s from a range of 200 – 3000 feet from my position. I was able to observe the underside of a 8 foot thick at the center boomerang shaped craft 200 to 300 feet from my position, with a wingspan of 50 to 80 feet. It’s underside was comprised of many intricate plates with deep black borders, and smooth corners. This craft had 7 small, rectangular white lights aligned close to the anterior. It moved silently at about 10 mph in a straight path, before taking a sharp right turn. Five minutes later I saw another UFO: 600 to 800 feet was a bright yellow mist in the shape of an arrowhead moving silently at 30 mph. It’s wingspan was 100 to 150 feet across. The corners instantly merged into the center of the craft as if they were non-solid, it then flew into the distance at 200 +mph.
I was shocked. Looking upwards down the street, I see a “Letter T” light formation descending to 400 feet high when it moved just above me down the street at 40 to 60 mph. As it descended I saw four white ovals of 2 distinct sizes: Both on each end were around 80 feet long while the two middle ovals were around 50 feet long.
A yellow arrowhead of mist passed under the “Letter T” formation at 40 to 60 mph. Only this time its corners were not separated, and again: this craft did not seem to be solid as it looked like a triangular yellow cloud of dust moving into the distance above the rest of the neighborhood. I attempted to record the UFO’s with my cellphone, but was unable to capture the lights.
All UFO’s observed were under 800 feet in altitude ith some as low as 100 – 200 feet.
All Were Silent 3. Cloaking Technology Was Observed. 4. No Solid Structures Were Observed Other Than The First UFO Sighting. . 5. Some of these objects were clearly unresponsive to light signals from the ground. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Mexico Disc
Santa Fe — I was taking photos of a double rainbow, just after a thunderstorm on August 15, 1985. I took several photos, across the street from the national cometary. I did not notice the object when photographed. I took the film to be developed at the fox one hour kiosk in Albuquerque new Mexico and saw this object in just one photograph.
I was about 500 feet from the object flying at least 500 mph. The shadows were consistent with all other objects in the photograph. I was using, a Kodak instamaticthat could not have been faked. I went to Kirtland Air Force Base, where a friend of mine was a helicopter mechanic, and I showed the picture to some pilots. They became very angry with me, and told me to get off the base. One pilot told me that he was going to inform base security of my address and have me put in jail. I did not go to jail, and no one ever contacted me about the photograph. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Orb
Fairport — Went out for a smoke and looked up because it is a crystal clear night on March 30, 2016. I saw a wide bright red light, flashing intermittently, tkat I thought was a plane. It had no sound whatsoever and was flying very smooth and low.
Planes pass by apartment complex everyday and I can tell this was no ordinary aircraft. This object hovered at a steady speed in the most smooth way, without the light it must be totally stealth and impossible to see.
I took several pictures with my iphone and upon zooming in, an disc shape with an upper center deck can be seen. It was so silent and smooth it literately freaked me out.
This object’s red light is more like a beam far bigger and wider than any commercial airliner. I lost sight of the object when it went over my roof. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Brooklyn— I noticed a bright star-like object in the sky in daylight that gave off a flashing / pulsating phenomena of bright colors on August 28, 2015.
I was only able to see the object for about 7-10 seconds until it disappeared. For reference, the object was about 30,000-40,000 feet in the air. I tried to take a 3rd picture, but it vanished. I took these photos on a Samsung Galaxy 21x zoom. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Orb
Mount Perry — I was outside looking at the stars a little after 9:00 pm, on March 29, 2016. I noticed a white light with a flashing red light to the east.
I thought it was too far up to be from a tower. I noticed a large diamond shaped object going overhead. It had a white light on each point and a flashing red light.
I snapped a bunch of pictures while it passed over me heading west.I noticed a pinprick of white on one image and zoomed in.
I had to do this to all of the pictures to see the object. The whole time the object appeared to me as a diamond shape.
Three times I’ve seen what at first looked like a star in the east that then began moving south and then made a sharp right turn moving west. The object was large and quite low. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Disc
Jim Thorpe—I had taken pictures of the surroundings while on a train ride. I hadn’t noticed the object until just recently while going through the pictures to put on my Facebook page. It was a nice day, back on September 5, 2010, when I took the picture.
I was on vacation with family at the time and was shocked to see the object. Others who saw the photo thought it was a leaf. I was awestruck that I actually caught a UFO in a photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Lights
Marvel — On April 1, 2016, I pulled into my driveway at 11:20 PM and immediately spotted the vertical orange light. I raced inside to get my 16-year-old son to come out and see it, too. As we watched the light, my son called two friends who live about 10 miles south of us. They went outside and saw the light as well. I called my other son, who lives in Galveston was unable to see the light from his location. My neighbor came out and watched it with us.
After searching further for an explanation, I think it may have been a light pillar, but it was interesting how it tapered at both ends. The bright orange slice in the sky dimmed and brightened, back and forth for 20 or more minutes.
Moab — I took a series of photos, while attending Easter Jeep Safari, on the Fins and Things trail on March 16, 2016.
I was taking pictures of jeeps coming down this rock trail and an image appeared on one of my photos.
These photos were taken at 12:41 PM (time stamped) on my I phone. I took 4 photos during this time period. While looking at these pictures a few minutes after taken, to check the quality of them, this image was on the last photo in the sky. No one heard or saw anything other than this image in the photo.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Object
Faber — All of my pictures are taken with a simple digital camera that is zoomed to the max.
I don’t know what it is that I am taking a picture of. I just point at the sky, shoot and then put the pics on my computer where I enlarge the photos.
It’s like something is guiding where and when I should aim my camera. Thanks to Dan Johnson
Washington Dark Objects
Victoria— I had just closed up my family business at 7 pm, on March 4th, 2016.
When I noticed a jet flying high up, and thought I should test my new Galaxy S7 Edge phone’s camera.
In the second shot, it looked like I could see the shape of the jet, so I zoomed in to see how crisp it actually gets, and almost didn’t notice the black shape/s underneath.
I believe it to be one object moving very fast, out of the bottom right cloud, and leveling off just underneath the jet. It’s just unidentified!? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia ISS Oblong
Watching the ISS camera ISSonlive.com feed on April 5, 2016, as the sky started to lighten in Australia I saw an streak of light. I love the pictures from space.
An oblong shape that seems very large comes on the screen at 1109 GMT.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Orb
Ontario — On March 2016 this has been a record month for me with 8 sightings with 2 at night and-6 day timers. Here is one of those sightings on Tuesday, March 29, 2016, I went outside our workplace on afternoon break I could even feel I was going see a UFO. Near the end of my work break I was shocked to once again see another different one. I blocked the sun with our building facing west. The sky was quite clear to view Up quite high I could see a black diamond shape object flashing a white light every few seconds. It was moving very slowly high above near our building’s roof.
Instantly I grabbed my camera from my pocket and took five pictures on a slight zoom. Then took a quick ten second video clip
Looked back up to see it – now it’s gone! This sighting lasted under one minute at 3:18 pm. Thanks To Paul Shishis]
Czech Republic Cylinders
Havlíčkův Brod— We went on a trip but we saw these objects. I thought it was helicopters.
It was moving like a helicopter but I didn’t have any propeller or tail. I was fascinated. But one week after this observation someone was watching me.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
France Disc
Paris— We are in a small apartment in the middle of Paris (3rd district). It was June 25th, 2013 at 10:00pm. There was a lot of sunshine out since our summer sun lives well into late 11:00’ish. My state of mind is clear and focused. Our studio is extremely small. She lazily looks up and asks what is that? I take a minute to look out. So I perch my chin on my hands on the sill. I see something far off. A pin point..grey…no shadow…no black..round… My brain does not pin it to just a round object yet, and my first thought is: ”
Ah, the nose of an airplane headed right this way” I keep an eye on it as it gets larger…then a second object catches my eye. What is this? A yellow/reddish light..no..lights don’t fly…Flag?? Perhaps..but a flag of what? Oh I know! The colorful object is sort of plane shaped, that is, like a fish? I can sort of make out a triangular tail end, but the direction it’s nose would be pointing is not the direction it is moving, it is moving at me, so that would be like a plane/fish floating sideways at me…and that is illogical. I pick my head up and realize these are not objects I have ever seen before.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Netherlands Triangle
Wamel — First the sky flashed then this starlike figure appeared on April 1, 2016.
We where not afraid because we see them a lot of UFOs in our region. It was bright orange color and it just hoovered. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/Wales England Border Light
Hergest Ridge — I sent you some pictures I had grabbed off my videos of a night UFO some while back, on February 18, 2016. This frequent flyer came back to the location and with a new Canon Legria camcorder The location as before was over Hergest Ridge which is on the England/Wales border. As you will note this object changes color in the Diamond shape and then shifts shape to an extreme flat disc in range. The pictures are taken from two films. The location is a frequent flyer location for these object both day and night.
Second Report From Witness: The object was sighted at 6.39 PM GMT. It has been frequently observed but only small, this time to the eye it looked larger. The new camera has more zoom and through the screen I could see a diamond shaped lighted object in the sky. It looked a pulsating solid diamond shape object which was lit and changed color throughout the video. The object was moved in a low almost static orbit, moving slowly and seemingly under intelligent control. I was trained with the Police and Air Force reserve experience we get frequent sightings of objects in this area.
This is also the area that had the legend of Black Vaughn, the beast that gave the idea to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the idea for his book The Hound of the Baskervilles. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website

Hitler and the ufo: the Gotha 229
Hitler and the ufo: the Gotha 229
That Adolf Hitler and other maximum Nazi exponents confided in esoteric practices is known, that they have adopted symbols and rituality is also known, less clear it is what relationship could exist between Nazi Germany and alien technologies which according to some would have been at the base of the technological acceleration happened,especially in aeronautical and missile field, in the last months of the Second World war.
ALL BEGAN IN SHAMBHALA
Even before the slope to the power of Adolf Hitler the followers of the Nazism tried to find Shambhala, an hidden land to whose center would be found the capital Kalepa, where would reside perfect men and women and the same “king of the world”. A place that according to some ufologis could be the legendary transfiguration of an alien base. The Nazis officially didn’t find ever Shambhalas, but for some they would have found during their expeditions finds of alien technologies.
THE TESTIMONIES OF THE ALLIES PILOTS
A series of testimonies it made from the Allies pilots during the conflict contributed in the following years to the conclusion of the Second World war to strengthen the hypothesis that the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler would have indeed reconstructed some ufos, or at least realized projects of experimental planes that exploited some technologies of it. American pilot Kenneth Arnold, for instance, reported for first of “supersonic flying saucers” and specified that “to shoot to these things doesn’t damage them at all”. Also other American and British pilots reported to have seen “great bright disks” or “strange spheres never sights before”. Were them the ufos of Hitler?
THE HORTEN BROTHERS
Even admitting that there were just errors of identification, the fact that Nazis had developed a series of unusual airplanes for the epoch to say few it is undeniable. One particularly, has always aroused a lot of curiosity,the flying wing Gotha 229, originally known as Horten IX. Initially developed by brothers Walter and Reimar Horten, this airplane, a model of which, the prototype V3, is still exposed at the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility of the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution, would have had to answer to the Luftwaffe’s specification “1,000x1,000x1,000”, i.e. to be an airplane able to transport 1.000 Kg of bombs to 1.000 Km/h to a distance of 1.000 Km from its base.
HITLER AND THE UFO: THE FIRST STEALTH OF HISTORY
The airplane was realized joining to a loom of steel pipes settled to wood surfaces, worked in a way that the most external layer absorbed the radar waves and spread them in different directions from those of origin, succeeding in this way to elude the more possible the hostile radars. If not an ufo, the Gotha 229 would certainly have been the first aerial stealth of the history. Unfortunately for brothers Horten the things didn’t go to the correct verse both for the difficulties of project and for the little time available. The second prototype (the V2) crashed December 18th 1944 (other sources speak of February 26th 1945), pilot died, the production stopped by the Horten to the Gothaero Waggonfabrik never overcame the phase of the prototypes. After some decades, nevertheless, some of the solutions of the Gotha 229 were used for developing the stealth fighter Lockheed F-117A NightHawk.
Planet 9 May Be Causing Periodic Extinction and is Once Again Coming Our Way
Planet 9 May Be Causing Periodic Extinction and is Once Again Coming Our Way
You’ve probably heard of the notorious “Planet 9” by now, also known as Nibiru or Planet X by the UFO community. This celestial body is hiding at the edges of our solar system and is too far out for our telescopes to see. However, every 10 or 15 thousand years it is said that Planet 9 enters our field of view as it’s elliptical orbit will reach its closest point to the Sun.
The rogue planet is expected to come with massive comet showers that would ultimately lead to a mass extinction here on Earth. In a paper by Daniel Whitmire, a retired astrophysicist professor, the possibility of Planet 9 causing periodic extinctions on earth is being discussed. The study is based on analysis performed on fossil remains of extinct species.
Some scientists have claimed for years that Planet 9 could be a reality, but the most significant progress towards identifying it has been made a couple of months back when two scientists claimed to have discovered imposing evidence of its existence, and only a few days ago one of the scientists brought further proof of the rogue planet.
According to the researchers, the fugitive celestial body should be 10 times the mass of Earth and 1,000 times further from the Sun than we are. They now interpret the bizarre extinction events partaking every 27 million years as being linked to Planet 9. They say the possibility of comet showers arriving on a constant and at the same time regular schedule could be more than just a coincidence. However, they do not exclude the idea of a Sun’s companion known as Nemsis, or the Sun’s evil twin.
Focusing on this new hypothesis, scientists suggest that all the periodic extinctions that had happened on Earth lead towards a common cause that’s kicking them off. They now blame the mysterious Planet 9, which from their perspective is passing through the Kuiper Belt – an area of the outer solar system shrouded in icy objects – every 27 million years or so, sending comets towards the Earth and inside the solar system as a result of the impact.
Dr. Michael Brown, the astronomer who proposed the existence of Planet 9, recently announced at a SETI colloquium that a Kuiper Belt Object (KBO), which is something orbiting between 30 and 50 AUs (astronomical units), one AU being Earth’s distance from the Sun, “is exactly where Planet Nine says it should be.”
In other words, Planet 9 might make its presence noticed sooner than some would have expected, and the signs will apparently take the form of disturbed comets entering our solar system. As the Hopi Indians already predicted, the Red Kachina is on its way back, and the events to come are only the beginning of the massive shift the Earth will go through.
According to the Hopi prophecy, “The Blue Kachina would start to be seen at the dances, and would make his appearance known to the children of the plaza during the night dance. This event would tell us that the end times are very near. Then the Blue Star Kachina would physically appear in our heavens which would mean that we were in the end times.”
Could their prophecy be related to the recent comets seen wandering through our solar system? Are we going to witness the arrival of the notorious Planet 9, or will there be some rational scientific explanation for all the havoc that’s apparently slowly taking shape? (source) (source)
We Need Three Planets for the Human Race to Survive, NASA Scientist Determines
We Need Three Planets for the Human Race to Survive, NASA Scientist Determines
Hasty climate change, ever-growing pollution level and overpopulation are some of the main reasons why scientists believe that our planet’s limits will be exceeded within a short span of time, making it a challenge for the human race to benefit from only one planet while moving at the current pace.
The life on our planet is quickly downgrading because of human activities, that’s why a conspicuous NASA scientist believes we may need to terraform more than one planet in order to preserve our species.
“The entire ecosystem is crashing,” said Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist of NASA’s Langley Research Center. “Essentially, there’s too many of us. We’ve been far too successful as the human animal. People allege we’re short 40-50 percent of a planet now. As the Asians and their billions come up to our living systems, we’re going to need three more planets.”
You’ve heard it well – we may need two other Earth-like planets to overcome the crisis we find ourselves into at the moment, and although Mars seems like the winning project, we may need to put more work into finding yet another celestial body to grow life on. More information on global challenges and how to overcome them have been put forward by Bushnell in The Millennium Project’s ‘State of the Future,” an annual report that’s comprising the ideas of more than 5,000 participants around the world.
“If NASA terraforms Mars, that’ll take about 120 years, and that’s only one planet,” he said. “We’d need more shortly.”
According to a 2012 study underwent by World Wildlife Fund, humans are using approximately 50 percent more resources than the Earth can bear, meaning that by 2050 we’ll be in need of other planets to harvest and exploit if we want to survive and maintain the current lifestyle. The study also referred to the need of colonizing two planets other than Earth, with the main threats this time being a cataclysmic event caused by an asteroid or the well-known nuclear war scenario.
Although scientists failed to identify the third planet to move to, since the Solar System looks pretty desolate when it comes to lifeforms and conditions to support them, they consider the initiative of terraforming Mars to be a good start. However, with the current shift in technology, we’ll be able to extract essential resources from celestial bodies such as comets and asteroids which seem to be found in abundance between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. So, is a permanent Martian base going to solve this deep crisis we find ourselves into, or should we look elsewhere if we are to overcome this challenge?
According to Jerome Glenn, CEO of the Millennium Project, we should identify Earth’s issues by looking (obviously) at the Earth itself, meaning that whatever challenges lie ahead of us we should be able to overcome them by transforming the planet we currently live on so that it suits the collective needs of our species.
“The point isn’t to be alarmist or cynical,” said Glenn. “We have to find out what’s intelligent to do to make this species survive. If you think the problems aren’t going to get better, then why try. And if you think there aren’t problems, then why change anything?”
An example of how to use our planet’s resources more efficiently comes from Bushnell who suggests that leaving the planet shouldn’t be the first priority, but instead become better resource managers and find other usages for the resources we have in abundance. His solution is based on salt water farming that would allow for Halophytes, a class of plant that does remarkably well in salty environments, to be ultimately transformed into biofuel. This system would allow for massive crops to be grown in the middle of the oceans. The irrigation will be based exclusively on saltwater and the finite product will be used as a bio-fuel for our many usages. Just picture a lot of underdeveloped countries producing cheap bio-fuel inevitably leading to a better economy and a radical increase in day-to-day living.
“With that, you could solve land, food, water, energy, and climate. All of that comes together,” he said.
If the ruling elite class will allow for a planetary state of well-being we are yet to find out, but if you don’t believe in miracles, maybe it’s time to pack your bags and move to Mars. After all, you’ll never know what the future holds. (source)
Elon Musk Intends to Send 1 Million Earthlings to Mars for $500,000 Each
Elon Musk Intends to Send 1 Million Earthlings to Mars for $500,000 Each
Now that we have the potential and technological means to travel into outer space, more and more organizations are paving the way for interplanetary travel, and I’m not talking about the usual discovery approach, but an entirely new perspective of commercial journeys that would take humans throughout the universe.
Although we still have many tests to surpass before venturing into such an adventurous journey, there are people already predicting that in due course, commercial voyages to Mars will become a reality. Among these figures is the revolutionary Elon Musk, the business magnate, engineer, inventor, and entrepreneur of several innovative businesses such as PayPal, SolarCity, Tesla Motors, and SpaceX.
This visionary man has claimed for many years that humanity’s only chance to survive is by developing interplanetary travel before it is too late, and he doesn’t limit to just one planet, but the entire galaxy if not the universe. He also believes that the human race has the ability to evolve to an almost god-like level, and we’ll have to credit him for the tremendous involvement in trying to achieve that goal.
At our current rate of technological growth, humanity is on a path to be godlike in its capabilities, Musk told Aeon.co. You could bicycle to Alpha Centauri in a few hundred thousand years, and that’s nothing on an evolutionary scale. If an advanced civilization existed at any place in this galaxy, at any point in the past 13.8 billion years, why isn’t it everywhere? Even if it moved slowly, it would only need something like .01 per cent of the Universe’s lifespan to be everywhere. SO why isn’t it?
To answer these uncertainties, Musk went on to expose his point of view about why humanity hasn’t managed to come in contact with alien beings by now. His first hypothesis suggests that our universal loneliness might be due to us living in some sort of simulation. If this however, sounds too insane for you, his other perspective reveals a more plausible approach, suggesting that we could be in fact an experimental race surveilled by a highly advanced alien race interested in the evolutionary process and behavior of our species, similar to the way researchers study the behavior of animals in a safari, where the wrong idea of wilderness is spread among the unaware subjects.
The absence of any noticeable life may be an argument in favor of us being in a simulation. Like when you’re playing an adventure game, and you can see the stars in the background, but you can’t ever get there. If it’s not a simulation, then maybe we’re in a lab and there’s some advanced alien civilization that’s just watching how we develop, out of curiosity, like mold in a petri dish.
Musk considers to establish a Mars colony in the near future, achievement which he believes, will prolong the existence of the human species. However, for such a daring plan to take shape, around 1 million people need to be sent on the voyage to guarantee the mission’s success, and since the aspirational billionaire is not focusing on building a mothership for the moment, his plan will need another way around.
FUTURE MARS COLONISTS PLAYING WITH CHILDREN ON MARS, A PLACE THEY CALL HOME.
As a matter of fact, he intends to send several ships to Mars at once, but for the moment, the costs for such a fleet seem unaffordable, since “rockets are the only form of transportation on Earth where the vehicle is built anew for each journey.” As a problem fixer, Musk is now relying on the development of SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket, a prototype intended to return to Earth after carrying humans and cargo into space. Achieving this will mean a drastic decrease in expenses, thus making a journey to Mars affordable even for the masses.
According to recent studies, there is an increasing desire among earthlings when it comes to a one-way trip to the Red Planet. Over 200,000 people applied for this breakthrough initiative, all of them willing to leave their lives on Earth behind for the chance to colonize another planet. Although Musk plans to charge as much as $500,000 for each individual, it doesn’t seem so much if you think that none of your earthly assets are needed when you are out there. So if you are willing to leave this life behind, selling everything that you own might buy you a one-way ticket to Mars in the future.
There needs to be an intersection of the set of people who wish to go, and the set of people who can afford to go, Musk said. And that intersection of sets has to be enough to establish a self-sustaining civilization. My rough guess is that for a half-million dollars, there are enough people that could afford to go and would want to go. But it’s not going to be a vacation jaunt. It’s going to be saving up all your money and selling all your stuff, like when people moved to the early American colonies.
If life on Mars is your thing, hurry up and raise the money, because as Elon Musk predicts, this is going to happen in the next eleven or twelve years. And don’t worry about the time spent on the way there, because according to NASA, “it takes nine months to get to Mars. It is possible to get to Mars in less time, but this would require you to burn your rocket engines longer, using more fuel. With current rocket technology, this isn’t really feasible, but some high-speed transfer orbits could make the trip in as little as 130 days.”
Now that you know how easy it’s going to be to reach the Red Planet, let’s enjoy life on our own while we still can. After all, Earth might become as desolate and inhospitable as its neighbor one day, or at least that’s what the most intelligent and resourceful people have predicted. So how is that for a free warning?
OFF THE RECORD Geneticist David Suzuki Stands Against The GMO Industry: “Humans Are Part Of A Massive Experiment!”
Geneticist David Suzuki Stands Against The GMO Industry: “Humans Are Part Of A Massive Experiment!”
We are doing our part to try and spread the word about GMOs, (genetically modified organisms) but we’re not the only ones.
Multiple public figures, scientists and researchers have been speaking out about GMOs for a number of years. For example, not long ago a former Canadian Government Scientist at Agriculture Canada, Dr. Thierry Vrain(one of many) spoke out against GMOs.
Another prominent public figure, Geneticist David Suzuki has been a long time advocate against GMOs, and has been speaking out about how they can be hazardous to human health as well as the environment.
Public figures with a wide audience can have a great impact on the consciousness of the masses, they are great ‘tools’ for waking more people up to the reality that GMOs can be harmful to human health as well as the environment.
It’s time to pay attention, do your own research and to question what you’ve been told. We can no longer trust branches of the government that deal with food and health, we must not take their word for it, it’s better if you actually look into it yourself rather than blindly believing what your are told.
In gearing up for the 2010 release of its super-genetically modified corn called ‘SmartStax’, agricultural-biotechnology giant Monsanto is using an advertising slogan that asks, ‘Wouldn’t it be better?’ But can we do better than nature, which has taken millennia to develop the plants we use for food?
We don’t really know. And that in itself is a problem. The corn, developed by Monsanto with Dow AgroSciences, “stacks” eight genetically engineered traits, six that allow it to ward off insects and two to make it resistant to weed-killing chemicals, many of which are also trademarked by Monsanto. It’s the first time a genetically engineered (GE) product has been marketed with more than three traits.
Canada approved the corn without assessing it for human health or environmental risk, claiming that the eight traits have already been cleared in other crop seeds — even though international food-safety guidelines that Canada helped develop state that stacked traits should be subject to a full safety assessment as they can lead to unintended consequences.
One problem is that we don’t know the unintended consequences of genetically engineered or genetically modified (GM) foods. Scientists may share consensus about issues like human-caused global warming, but they don’t have the same level of certainty about the effects of genetically modified organisms on environmental and human health!
A review of the science conducted under the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development in 2008 concluded that “there are a limited number of properly designed and independently peer-reviewed studies on human health” and that this and other observations “create concern about the adequacy of testing methodologies for commercial GM plants.”
Some have argued that we’ve been eating GM foods for years with few observable negative consequences, but as we’ve seen with things like trans fats, if often takes a while for us to recognize the health impacts. With GM foods, concerns have been raised about possible effects on stomach bacteria and resistance to antibiotics, as well as their role in allergic reactions. We also need to understand more about their impact on other plants and animals.
Of course, these aren’t the only issues with GM crops. Allowing agro-chemical companies to create GM seeds with few restrictions means these companies could soon have a monopoly over agricultural production. And by introducing SmartStax, we are giving agro-chemical companies the green light not just to sell and expand the use of their “super crops” but also to sell and expand the use of the pesticides these crops are designed to resist.
A continued reliance on these crops could also reduce the variety of foods available, as well as the nutritive value of the foods themselves.
There’s also a reason nature produces a variety of any kind of plant species. It ensures that if disease or insects attack a plant, other plant varieties will survive and evolve in its place. This is called biodiversity.
Because we aren’t certain about the effects of GMOs, we must consider one of the guiding principles in science, the precautionary principle. Under this principle, if a policy or action could harm human health or the environment, we must not proceed until we know for sure what the impact will be. And it is up to those proposing the action or policy to prove that it is not harmful.
That’s not to say that research into altering the genes in plants that we use for food should be banned or that GM foods might not someday be part of the solution to our food needs. We live in an age when our technologies allow us to “bypass” the many steps taken by nature over millennia to create food crops to now produce “super crops” that are meant to keep up with an ever-changing human-centred environment.
A rapidly growing human population and deteriorating health of our planet because of climate change and a rising number of natural catastrophes, among other threats, are driving the way we target our efforts and funding in plant, agricultural, and food sciences, often resulting in new GM foods.
But we need more thorough scientific study on the impacts of such crops on our environment and our health, through proper peer-reviewing and unbiased processes. We must also demand that our governments become more transparent when it comes to monitoring new GM crops that will eventually find their ways in our bellies through the food chain.

Strange UFO filmed by Norwegian expedition in Antarctica - January 2016 !!!
At the beginning of January 2016, a team of Norwegian scientists had the surprise to film a very special UFO sighting right in the Neumayer Area.
In 2013, proofs of alien base were found in Antarctica thanks to Google Earth. On these famous pictures, we could see two possible entrances to an alien base or at least an entrance to something, with a huge saucer shaped object buried in the ice... Few days later Google Earth mysteriously censored the location. Why ?

Deze rondvliegende bol zuigt objecten op en bezorgt ze elders
Deze rondvliegende bol zuigt objecten op en bezorgt ze elders
Vivian Lammerse
De toekomstige assistent is geen mens, maar een drone! Wetenschappers ontwikkelden een rondvliegende bol die voorwerpen ophaalt en wegbrengt.
Maak kennis met een nieuw soort drone: een grote, rondvliegende bol die zich autonoom in elke richting kan verplaatsen. Vervolgens kan de drone geheel zelfstandig een flesje water, appel, of ander voorwerp oppakken en verplaatsen naar de plek die jij wilt.
Vliegende assistent De drone bestaat uit een lichte ring waar acht propellers aan hangen. In het midden van de ring zit een roteerbare, helium bol met een geïntegreerd grijpelement. Hierdoor kan het systeem voorwerpen opzuigen en verplaatsen. Dit nieuwe staaltje technologie kan hele nieuwe mogelijkheden bieden voor toekomstige werkplekken. Zo zou de drone dienst kunnen gaan doen als rondvliegende assistent in bijvoorbeeld hele hoge gebouwen of in moeilijk toegankelijke ruimtes.
Zonder piloot Er is geen piloot of controleur nodig die het vliegende object bestuurt. De bol is voorzien van een GPS-systeem. Bovendien heeft de drone twee camera’s aan boord die de omgeving scherp in de smiezen houdt. Bij het opzuigen van objecten worden de twee camera’s ook gebruikt voor coördinatie.
CONTACT MET DE BOL IS NIET GEVAARLIJK, ZELFS NIET ALS JE ER PER ONGELUK EEN KEER TEGENAAN BOTST
De drone kan allerlei voorwerpen met verschillende vormen meenemen. Hij is zelfs in staat om meerdere objecten tegelijkertijd mee te nemen. Daarnaast is – in tegenstelling tot andere drones – contact met de bol niet gevaarlijk. Ook niet als je er per ongeluk een keer tegenaan botst.
De drone zou in hoge gebouwen goed dienst kunnen doen als assistent. Credits: Festo

Kijk! Een gigantische spin op Pluto!
Kijk! Een gigantische spin op Pluto!
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De dwergplaneet blijft ons verrassen. Nu hebben onderzoekers weer een breukensysteem ontdekt dat lijkt op een gigantische spin.
“Het patroon dat deze breuken vormen hebben we nog nooit in de buitenste regionen van het zonnestelsel gezien en laat maar weer eens zien: waar we ook op Pluto kijken, elke keer zien we wat anders,” stelt Oliver White, lid van het onderzoeksteam dat zich op de observaties van ruimtesonde New Horizons stort.
Rood We zien zeker zes flinke breuken (op de foto hieronder worden ze met witte pijlen aangewezen) die op een centraal punt samenkomen. De langste breuk is meer dan 580 kilometer lang. Wat verder opvalt, is dat de breuken die van noord naar zuid lopen het langst zijn en de breuken van oost naar west aanzienlijk korter. Als je goed kijkt, zie je bovendien dat de breuken rode afzettingen onder het oppervlak van Pluto blootleggen.
De ‘spin’ op Pluto. Afbeelding: NASA / JHUAPL / SwRI.
Druk Er zijn al meer breuken op het oppervlak van Pluto gespot. De meeste lopen parallel aan elkaar en ontstaan waarschijnlijk door het uitzetten van Pluto’s waterijskorst. De ‘spin’ die nu op beelden van New Horizons is aangetroffen, is mogelijk ontstaan doordat er op een specifieke plek onder het oppervlak – de plek waar de breuken samenkomen – druk is uitgeoefend.
De spin doet een heel klein beetje denken aan novae op Venus (zie de afbeelding hieronder). En een beetje aan de troggen die op Mercurius die vanaf een centraal punt (de krater Apollodorus) naar alle kanten uitwaaieren.
Links zie je de nova op Venus en rechts zie je iets soortgelijks op Mercurius. Afbeeldingen: NASA / JPL / USGS (Venus) en NASA / Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory / Carnegie Institution of Washington (Mercurius).
Wetenschap onthult hoe planeet X er mogelijk uitziet
Wetenschap onthult hoe planeet X er mogelijk uitziet
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De planeet zou een straal hebben die ongeveer 3,7 keer groter is dan de straal van de aarde. Ook is het er koud: -226 graden Celsius.
Wetenschappers van de universiteit van Bern trekken die conclusie nadat ze hun modellen die ze normaal gebruiken om de evolutie van jonge exoplaneten in kaart te brengen, op planeet X loslieten. De onderzoekers gaan ervan uit dat planeet X een kleinere versie van Uranus of Neptunus is. Dat betekent dat we met een kleine ijsreus te maken hebben die omringd wordt door waterstof en helium. Met behulp van hun modellen gingen de onderzoekers na hoe onder meer de straal en helderheid van de planeet door de tijd heen geëvolueerd is.
Straal en temperatuur Volgens de onderzoekers die in januari het bestaan van planeet X suggereerden, heeft de planeet een massa die tien keer groter is dan de massa van de aarde. Een planeet met zo’n massa zou volgens de Zwitserse onderzoekers vandaag de dag een straal moeten hebben die 3,7 keer groter is dan de straal van de aarde. De temperatuur van de planeet is ongeveer -226 graden Celsius.
Infrarood De lage temperatuur is niet heel verrassend; de planeet bevindt zich op grote afstand van de zon. De onderzoekers merken echter op dat de planeet – als we puur kijken naar de hoeveelheid zonlicht en -warmte die deze ontvangt – nog warmer is dan ze hadden verwacht. Het suggereert dat de planeet niet alleen wordt opgewarmd door de zon. Waar komt de overige warmte dan vandaan? Uit de kern van de planeet, zo vermoeden de onderzoekers. Deze kan nog jaren na het ontstaan van een planeet warmte afgeven. En die warmte kunnen we met infrarode telescopen wellicht spotten.
“Door ons onderzoek is kandidaat-planeet 9 nu meer dan een simpele massa, de planeet krijgt vorm nu we er fysieke eigenschappen aan toeschrijven,” stelt onderzoeker Christoph Mordasini. Maar ook na dit onderzoek geldt: het bestaan van planeet X blijft onbewezen. Toch kan dit onderzoek helpen om daar verandering in te brengen. Als we een beeld hebben van hoe de planeet eruitziet, wordt het wellicht gemakkelijker om een telescoop te kiezen die de planeet kan spotten. Zo wijst het onderzoek erop dat toekomstige telescopen zoals de Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (die momenteel in Chili wordt gebouwd) in staat moet zijn om de negende planeet waar te nemen. “Dat is een opwindend perspectief,” vindt Mordasini. Onderzoeker Mike Brown stelde eerder te verwachten dat planeet X – als deze bestaat –binnen vijf jaar wordt gespot.
Luke Skywalker eat your heart out! Wetenschappers hebben een planeet – een hete Jupiter – ontdekt die maar liefst drie zonnen heeft.
Wereldnieuws was het in 2011: astronomen hadden voor het eerst een planeet met twee zonnen ontdekt. Star Wars-fans wisten: science-fiction werd werkelijkheid! Want in Star Wars wordt het bestaan van dergelijke planeten al jarenlang voorspeld: Luke Skywalker himself woont immers op een planeet – Tatooine – met twee sterren. En nu bleken die planeten ook echt te bestaan.
Drie zonnen Inmiddels is het 2016 en weten we dat er ook planeten met drie zonnen bestaan. Tot voor kort waren ons slechts enkele van zulke systemen bekend. Maar nu hebben onderzoekers er weer eentje ontdekt, zo meldt het blad The Astronomical Journal.
Nog eentje! In het blad kondigen astronomen de ontdekking van KELT-4Ab aan: een planeet die deel uitmaakt van een systeem met daarin een dubbelster en een ‘enkele’ ster. De planeet draait om KELT-A en heeft ongeveer drie dagen nodig om een rondje rond die ster te voltooien. Op flinke afstand van KELT A en KELT 4Ab bevindt zich de dubbelster: deze twee sterren hebben 30 jaar nodig om een rondje rond elkaar te voltooien.
Hoe ziet dat eruit? Eerder kwamen wetenschappers al met mooie artistieke impressies op de proppen die lieten zien hoe het leven op een planeet met twee zonnen er ongeveer uit moest zien. Maar stel dat je op KELT 4Ab zou kunnen staan – wat heel lastig wordt, omdat het een gasplaneet is – hoe zou de hemel er dan uit zien? Ook vrij spectaculair. KELT A staat vrij dichtbij en zie je vanaf het oppervlak dus als een enorme ster aan de hemel staan. De andere twee sterren zijn ver weg, maar hebben vanaf het oppervlak van KELT-4Ab toch een helderheid die vergelijkbaar is met die van de maan.
Het is om meerdere redenen een bijzondere ontdekking. Ten eerste natuurlijk, omdat ons nog maar weinig planeten met drie zonnen bekend zijn. Ten tweede omdat de ster waar de planeet omheen cirkelt in vergelijking met de andere twee sterren heel helder is en het geheel vrij dicht bij de aarde staat (en dus ook heel geschikt is voor vervolgonderzoek).
Carbon Nanotube optical rectenna converts green laser light to electricity (Image Courtesy www.phys.org)
When you listen to a radio, sometimes you have to adjust your antenna to improve the signal. An “Optical Rectenna” is an antenna that processes light energy from the sun, converting it to DC current. In a recent article in PHYS.ORG, “Rectenna Converts Light to DC Current,” researchers at Georgia Tech, studying for the past six years, have created nanoscale components that convert light to DC current.
Following is a video from Georgia Tech explaining and illustrating the “Optical Rectenna.”
Other Carbon Nanotube Applications
In a recent article published by MIT News, “Dispersion of carbon nanotubes in aluminum improves radiation resistance,” aluminum used in nuclear reactors and similarly harsh industrial environments, when infused uniformly throughout with carbon nanotubes, are stronger and more durable. Could carbon nanotubes make the nuclear energy industry safer?
Graphene, Fullerenes, nanodiamonds, and carbon nanotubes (CNT) are also being considered to modify certain materials and enhance their conductivity. According to the Materials Research Society (MRS), enhancing the capacity of charge storage devices can be carried out by the use of 2-D graphene or 1-D carbon nanotubes which increase the surface area exposed to electrolytes in these devices. According to researchers at MRS, just 1% graphene or CNTs is enough to significantly improve conductivity.

In the field of biotechnology, carbon nanotubes have been wrapped in more than 20 different polymers such as DNA, RNA, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) to increase the longevity of drugs introduced into the bloodstream. These new nanotube biosensors will be used for such things as gas sensing. In a recent pre-clinical study of mice, carbon nanotubes had a positive effect on behavioral and neurochemical addiction, decreasing cravings and relapses.
In another development, integrated circuit designers are now taking advantage of the exceptional electrical properties, thermal conductivity, high mechanical integrity, and large surface area of graphite and carbon nanotubes to create materials needed to make electromechanical and electrochemical sensors that respond faster, as well as tiny transistors for processors.

The “Gremlins” Are Coming!—Meet DARPA’s New Air-Launched Drones
The “Gremlins” Are Coming!—Meet DARPA’s New Air-Launched Drones
Several companies will attempt to make the "Gremlins" program a reality. They now have the challenge of creating a system of reusable unmanned vehicles that can launch from bigger aircraft such as bombers or jets.
PHASE 1 IS A GO
While drone technology has crept up to the civilian market, with multiple modifications made for the tech-savvy consumer, large scale drone research is still firmly in the hands of the military. DARPA is at the forefront of this, with multiple research programs into the military use of drones.
Now it’s at it again, developing another milestone for the boys in green.
DARPA has awarded Phase 1 contracts to several companies who will attempt to make the “Gremlins” program a reality. They now have the challenge of creating a system of reusable unmanned vehicles that can launch from bigger aircraft like bombers or jets.
In particular, four companies have been selected: Lockheed Martin, Dynetics of Alabama, Composite Engineering, and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems of California. The companies are tasked with using their technical genius to conjure up launch and retrieval techniques, low-cost airframe designs and develop the drones’ navigation system and digital flight controls.
Learn more about DARPA in the video below:
PACKING HEAT
The Gremlins program, revealed last year, seeks to show the feasibility of conducting safe, reliable operations involving multiple air-launched, air-recoverable unmanned systems.
The goal of the program is to have bombers or transport aircraft launch groups or swarms of reusable unmanned vehicles called gremlins for intelligence and reconnaissance purposes. When the gremlins complete their mission, a C-130 transport aircraft would retrieve them in the air, and then return to base where ground crews would prepare them for their next use within 24 hours.
Gremlins are expected to last 20 uses, and may also launch from fighters and other small, fixed-wing platforms when bombers are out of range.
Such air-launched drones are primarily a cost-reducing program, bridging the gap between missiles that are one-use only, and reusable systems that are costly to maintain. The program aims to prove that such systems could provide significant cost advantages over expendable systems, spreading out payload and airframe costs over multiple uses instead of just one.
The Gremlins program is named for the imaginary, mischievous imps whom World War II airmen blamed for the frequent mechanical woes that beset their planes.
No word yet as to what happens if you feed them after midnight.

‘Revolutie aanstaande': Hoogleraar gaat kosmologie overhoop gooien met alternatieve zwaartekrachttheorie
‘Revolutie aanstaande': Hoogleraar gaat kosmologie overhoop gooien met alternatieve zwaartekrachttheorie
In tegenstelling tot de overige fundamentele natuurkrachten, is de zwaartekracht nooit echt verklaard. Er zijn geen elementaire deeltjes gevonden die drager kunnen zijn van deze kracht. Hoogleraar Erik Verlinde van de Universiteit van Amsterdam zorgde enkele jaren geleden voor een doorbraak in het denken over de zwaartekracht.
Verlinde gaat één dezer dagen een alternatieve zwaartekrachttheorie publiceren. Hij werkt al jaren aan een echte verklaring voor zwaartekracht, die volgens hem geen fundamentele kracht is, maar samengesteld uit andere krachten. Astronomen en fysici volgen zijn werk met argusogen.
Zijn theorie beschrijft het heelal als een soort hologram, waarbij alle informatie over massa’s op de denkbeeldige rand van het universum is geschreven. Het veranderen van die informatie geeft een weerstand als twee massa’s uit elkaar worden gehaald.
Mogelijkheden
Volgens Verlinde is de speurtocht naar donkere materie kansloos, omdat donkere materie, die geen licht maar wel zwaartekracht geeft, niet zou bestaan. Donkere materie is geen deeltje, maar extra energie die tevoorschijn komt bij het ontstaan van materie, aldus de fysicus.
Erik Verlinde (Commons)
De algemene relativiteitstheorie van Einstein, de theorie die kosmologen nog altijd gebruiken om het heelal op grote schaal te beschrijven, is volgens hem achterhaald. “De vergelijkingen van Einstein houden niet goed bij hoeveel informatie waar aanwezig is,” zegt hij.
Hij kijkt op een andere manier naar het universum en legt daarbij de nadruk op ‘mogelijkheden’. Elke mogelijkheid is een bepaalde manier om de hoeveelheid informatie in het universum te verdelen. “Al die mogelijkheden moeten in het universum behouden blijven,” zegt hij.
Aanstaande revolutie
“Ruimtetijd bestaat uit kwantummechanische mogelijkheden, uit kwantuminformatie,” stelt Verlinde. En die kwantuminformatie heeft van nature de neiging te verstrengelen, waarna het onmogelijk is om stukjes informatie nog los van elkaar te zien.
De Zuid-Afrikaanse natuurkundige Neil Turok ziet in het idee van Verlinde een voorloper van een aanstaande revolutie in de natuurkunde. Hij meent dat de deeltjesfysica inmiddels zo complex is geworden dat die op het punt staat onder haar eigen gewicht in te storten.
“Ik gooi een hoop dingen omver, dus ik wil dit goed kunnen onderbouwen,” zegt Verlinde, die in 2011 de Spinazopremie, de meest prestigieuze wetenschapsprijs van Nederland, won.
Oerknal verwerpen
Eerder trok hij de oerknaltheorie al in twijfel. “Als mijn theorie klopt, moeten we op een hele andere manier gaan kijken naar het ontstaan van het heelal,” zei Verlinde. “Misschien kunnen we dan wel zo ver gaan dat we de oerknal verwerpen.”
“Er zitten nog veel onzekere elementen in de wetten waarmee wij verklaren hoe sterren en sterrenstelsels bewegen,” ging hij verder. “We gebruiken mysterieuze termen als donkere materie en donkere energie. Dat is eigenlijk een manier om te zeggen dat we het allemaal nog niet zo goed begrijpen.”
Volgens Verlinde begrijpen we nog maar 4 procent van de energie in het heelal. Met zijn theorie hoopt hij meer duidelijkheid te scheppen over die nog onbegrepen energie en zo ook over het ontstaan van het heelal.
Multiple unidentified flying objects over Mesa, Arizona 6-Apr-2016
Multiple unidentified flying objects over Mesa, Arizona 6-Apr-2016
Check out this amazing video of a multiple UFOs hovering in the night sky above Mesa in Arizona. This happened on 6th April 2016.
Witness report:I walked into my bedroom to open my windows and saw a strange group of lights hovering low in the western sky. I’ve never seen anything like it before. I went into the kitchen and got my cellphone and went outside to try and film the event. I could see the lights out in the distance, but I have a block wall and the lights were low and close to the horizon. I climbed onto a chair to get a better view. My security lights were on and disturbed the darkness, but the lights were still clearly visible. I tried to hold my phone over my head to record the event. I watched the lights in a formation of sorts, but not really a rigid formation, there was some drifting. The lights seemed to be slowly headed away from me, towards the west. I observed an object cross the path of the lights and can’t tell if it was one of the lights or an airplane or helicopter. One light seemed to fade then came back to original brightness. I heard no sound, probably because of distance from me and I cannot estimate how far away they were. I called my daughter because the lights seemed to be in the direction of her house. She was driving at the time and did not see anything. The lights slowly faded in the distance and then were gone. I called the local FOX news station and asked if anyone else reported lights and was told no.
Ancient Advanced Technology, Self Activating Machines, Planetary Terraforming, and Anonymously Leaked Top Secret Documents, all this and more set the stage for a UFO mystery that began over 12,000 thousand years ago. Linda Moulton Howe traveled to Turkey to see first hand, dozens of 19 foot tall elegantly carved limestone pillars, erected in a series of circles, covering 30 acres, in a place called “Gobekli Tepe,” a few miles from the northern Syrian border. Carbon dating places the age of these finally crafted pillars at 12,000 years. Beginning in 1994, German Archaeologist Dr. Klaus Schmidt from the University of Heidelberg and the German Archaeological Institute, began slowly and carefully excavating the site which is dated at more than twice the age of Egypt, Sumeria and Stonehenge. Researchers are now speculating that “Gobekli Tepe,” Stonehenge and other erected stone circles, and pyramids, located around the world, could be self-activating machines left behind by non-human intelligence that have terraformed Earth for a millennia. In this program, Emmy Award-winning TV Producer, Investigative Journalist, and Author, Linda Moulton Howe, presents the latest research on “Gabekli Tepe” along with anonymously leaked document from an unknown American Scientist about commercial applications of research from extraterrestrial technology. This is one presentation you don’t want to miss.
This Friday (April 8), SpaceX is scheduled to launch a Dragon cargo spacecraft toward the International Space Station, carrying the first expandable habitat that will be occupied by humans in orbit.
The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) will be folded up into the trunk of the Dragon spacecraft like a parachute that is ready to be unfurled. The station's robotic arm will remove BEAM from the trunk, attach it to the Tranquility Node, and it will expand to more than five times its total compressed size in about 45 minutes.
It doesn't take a spaceflight industry expert to start dreaming about what expandable habitats could mean for future space exploration. Why not put up a dozen space stations orbiting the Earth? Humans could use them to set up colonies on the moon or Mars. What's to stop an eccentric billionaire from starting a space hotel? Robert Bigelow, founder and head of the company that made BEAM, talked to Space.com about the company's goals for the next 20 years, and the issues that stand in the way of the company's efforts to achieve them. [Bigelow's Inflatable Space Station Idea in Photos]
William Gerstenmaier, NASA’s associate administrator for human exploration and operations, and Jason Crusan, director of the agency's advanced exploration systems division, view the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) in its compressed form at Bigelow’s facility in Las Vegas on March 12, 2015. BEAM will expand to just over 13 feet (4.01 meters) long and 10.5 feet (3.23 m) wide once it is attached to the International Space Station.
A central limiting factor to the possible size of space-based habitats or structures is the size of the payload bay on the spacecraft that carries it up to space. Many of the American pieces of the space station were sent up in the space shuttle's bay, which was roughly large enough to fit a school bus. (Russia also took the approach of building a new spacecraft that could withstand the trip to space, and then used the spacecraft itself as a module for the station).
"Bigelow habitats are lighter and take up substantially less rocket fairing space, and are far more affordable than traditional, rigid modules," according to Bigelow press release. And for anyone worried about the safety of something that expands like a balloon in an environment that is fairly hostile to life, the company says its habitats provide "enhanced protection against radiation and physical debris" compared to metallic structures.
BEAM is built out of a proprietary "soft-goods, expandable material." The load-bearing structure is made from something similar to Vectran, a manufactured fiber made from a liquid-crystal polymer that is used in some space suits, company representatives said in last week's telecom. BEAM is covered by a Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris protection layer, which is also proprietary to Bigelow Aerospace. Company representatives speaking during a NASA teleconference in April said their structures are up to the standards set for all ISS structures.
BEAM will only have one-fifth the livable space of the station's Harmony Module — but it also only has one-tenth of Harmony's mass. When packed, BEAM can be reduced to about half of its normal width and about three-quarters of its normal length. Thus, an expandable habitat that, when compressed, was the size of the Harmony module, could expand to be even larger, thus making it possible to get bigger space habitats into orbit without having to build bigger cargo carriers.
That's what Bigelow Aerospace is currently driving at. In March 2015, NASA announced that as part of its Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP) project, the agency has a contract with Bigelow to develop "ambitious human spaceflight missions that leverage its innovative B330 space habitat." The B330 is an expandable habitat with 330 cubic meters of livable space — 20 times more than BEAM and 4.5 times more than Harmony. Bigelow said that by 2021, the company will be prepared to launch up to two of the B330s. Whether or not they launch will depend on whether or not the company has a customer who wants to use the habitat, and whether or not there is an affordable way to send people there.

A ticket to space
If inflatable space habitats are such a good idea, then why is Bigelow Aerospace the only company or agency that has made any significant progress toward making them?
"[Why is Bigelow the only company] that's foolish enough to do it?" Bigelow asked, finishing my question for me. He laughed, but then said, "In all seriousness, it is a leap of faith in a sense, because we have been so far out in front of everything."
Bigelow owns the hotel chain Budget Suites of America, and it was from that enterprise that he made enough money to start a company that would build expandable habitats. It was an idea that NASA had started investigating in the 1950s, according to Bigelow Aerospace's website, and it was work on expandables that led to the invention of Mylar. Ultimately, a lack of sufficiently strong, yet flexible materials stopped that line of research within the agency. Work on expandable habitats was briefly revived in the 1980s and again in the 1990s, but NASA wasn't able to keep the project alive.
Expandable space habitats are being discussed by people in both the public and the private spaceflight industry sectors — animations and artists' renditions like this one show expandable habitats playing a role in future space exploration endeavors. But, perhaps the reason no one has invested as heavily in actually building them is because a space destination is no good without a way to get there.
"Transportation has been our Achilles' heel in terms of getting into a business mode, ever since we started the company," Bigelow said.
The company struggled for years without success to get its first two in-space test habitats, Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, into orbit using U.S.-based launch options, and then spent years working to get past regulations that made it difficult to launch them via a Russian-based space travel provider. There are an increasing number of U.S.-based companies that will fly cargo into space, but Bigelow said his major concern is how humans will reach these space habitats.
Right now, the only way for humans to get to orbital space is on a Russian Soyuz capsule. NASA currently pays nearly $82 million per astronaut for space on the Soyuz.
"We would never attempt a business case based on the kind of pricing per seat that NASA is willing to pay," Bigelow said. "It wouldn't work."
"At this juncture, we are assuming that SpaceX is going to perfect its ability first, before other companies, to affordably move people to and from low-Earth orbit," Bigelow said. Affordability is "a key word," he said.
The commercial spaceflight industry is still at a tentative stage, said Jeff Greason, a co-founder of the spaceflight company XCOR, who spoke with Space.com at the SpaceCom Expo in Houston, in November 2015. He said the success and progress of transportation providers is moving forward, but "we have not yet reached the point where I think it's irreversible."
"The enterprise is much bigger than just the transportation segment. But it's all enabled by the transportation segment," Greason told Space.com. "So, if the transportation's not there, then all of the other great things we can do, which make up much more of the business, can't happen. So transportation is key."
For its habitats to succeed, Bigelow's company needs transportation, but that need is a two-way street: Transportation providers need a place to take people and cargo. The topic of space destinations was also a discussion point among experts at the 2015 SpaceCom Expo. The spaceflight community is understandably concerned about NASA's plans for supporting the International Space Station after 2024, when the agency's current commitment to maintain its side of the station ends. Having an operating laboratory in low Earth orbit provides commercial space companies with a regular customer for sending cargo and (soon) humans. It also provides a platform for space-based science, and will provide a place where explorers can prepare for more trips to other space destinations.
If Bigelow's plans stay on track, and it attracts the right customers, his company could relieve that threat by providing new laboratories in low Earth orbit. Countries without space programs or without a stake in the ISS could send astronauts to space without having to build the infrastructure that NASA and other space agencies currently have.
Bigelow said the company has "had discussions with foreign countries who have their own space agencies … for a number of years," as well as with countries who do not have their own space agencies. Already, he said, there are countries interested in using BEAM to pursue commercial activities.
Bigelow said he envisions that between 2021 and 2031, the Bigelow B330s would be added on and expanded, creating "a large conglomerate of habitats" that could be owned by different customers, or jointly owned by multiple partners. If money can be generated from those LEO destinations, Bigelow said he'd like to see that put toward lunar settlements.
"We would transition some of the client menu that we would have in LEO to folks who would want to be involved in some kind of business activity on the moon. And I think that by 2031, that's practical," Bigelow said. "We would also like to be part of a conglomerate of folks. … I see our role as perfecting our art and being able to provide habitats for deployment in different environments in conjunction with other space or nonspace folks putting companies together to promote these kinds of activities. So I don't look at it as [if] we intend to do this alone." [Inflatable Habitats: From the Space Station to the Moon and Mars?]

Working with NASA
Eric Stallmer is president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation (CSF), the "industry association of leading businesses and organizations working to make commercial human spaceflight a reality," according to the CSF website. Stallmer said he's an optimist about BEAM and Bigelow Aerospace's future plans for its expandable habitats. He's also a realist, and recognizes that there are still significant challenges facing the company.
"There's a lot of elements to this, and just because the BEAM is going up, doesn't mean, you know, we're going to have a lunar base next week," Stallmer said. "I think [Bigelow is] paving the way, I think they're pioneers. … They did something that traditionally only a government could do or only a sovereign nation could do. And they did it at a fraction of the cost. And if it succeeds, it will once again prove that space doesn't have to be prohibitively expensive."
BEAM will be on the space station for a minimum of two years, where Bigelow will monitor it in order to earn NASA's approval for further human use.
"NASA is essentially the Good Housekeeping seal of approval for habitats, at this point in time," Bigelow said. "It is the prime customer that you want to satisfy. … It has a very high standard."
Stallmer said that it may also look, from the outside, as if what Bigelow Aerospace has already accomplished were simple, or that creating the habitat technology was the company's greatest challenge. But Bigelow said the number one challenge facing the company is politics.
"You have to have political permission first. You have to have the money second. If you have those two, you can create whatever technology you need," Bigelow said, perhaps referencing the company's struggles to get its Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 habitats launched.
He said that refers to politics within NASA as well as the U.S. government, and "whether or not NASA is going to be an agent for this kind of change. Or is it going to be managed by an administration whose philosophy is to thwart commercialization?
"If NASA resists, and the philosophy of our politics, of our administration, is to continue to pursue NASA as an owner instead of a consumer, instead of a tenant, if you will, then a lot of delay will occur and it won't proceed like it could have," he said. "But if NASA's philosophy is to expand commercialization, to promote it and really facilitate it — then, oh my gosh, it'll be night and day."
Editor's Note: BEAM is flying to the space station on a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft, not a Cygnus spacecraft as this article previously stated.
