Tesla’s legendary “tower” built and tested in Russia
Tesla’s legendary “tower” built and tested in Russia
This “Tesla baby” can produce enough power matching all power generation facilities in Russia when lightning is discharged onto a platform.
A team of Russian scientists are already working on the restoration of the “Tesla tower” for wireless power transmission, developed by Tesla in 1901-1902. The Wardenclyffe Tower, also known as the Tesla Tower, was built near the island of Manhattan (USA) at the beginning of the 1900’s but was not completed for reasons unknown so far. Some speculate that the original Tesla tower was closed due to the lack of funding. Tesla believed that this project was, if completed, one of the most effective electric systems in the world allowing him to produce and transmit electrical energy across great distances.
Nikola Tesla was a genius, a brilliant inventor and the pioneer of wireless power transmission who in 1891, developed the principles of an antenna which is capable of supplying electricity to ANY device without the use of cables or connectors.
Tesla’s project was based on variations in the magnetic flux and, despite the incredible potential of the project, he apparently never managed to thrive beyond mere trials.
The Russian version of Tesla’s tower is located about 40 kilometers from Moscow. Currently, the research complex dubbed as the “High Voltage Marx and Tesla Generators Research Facility” is truly one of a kind and its generators can meet the energy demand for the entire country, although only for a period of around 100 microseconds.
In Russia, experiments or practices related to energy are anything but new. In the 1980’s the Soviets built a tower which “channeled” the energy created from lightning storms and use it for numerous purposes.
this incredible Russia project is unique, and it is something that you probably won’t find anywhere else in the world. Why? Because of its incredible design and even greater charging capacity.
As we described above, this “Tesla baby” can produce enough power matching all power generation facilities in Russia when lightning is discharged onto a platform. Given the high maintenance cost, this “secret” Russian Tesla facility is not operational 24/7 but is only turned on on special occasions.
According to Rossiya-1 TV; When the facility is operating, the static charge in the “hot zone” is so large that the hair of anyone present bristles.

The shimmering atmospheric lighting displays known as auroras have never looked sharper than in a new ultra-high-definition video that was shot in space.
The stunning time-lapse footage was captured from the International Space Station in 4K ultra high definition (UHD), a video format with a resolution of 3,840 pixels horizontal by 2,160 pixels vertical. (For comparison, full-HD resolution is 1,920 pixels by 1,080 pixels.) The eye-catching video was uploaded by NASA TV to YouTube on April 17.
Auroras are produced when solar particles that are ejected from the sun and carried to Earth by solar winds collide with electrically charged particles in Earth's magnetic field, triggering reactions in the upper atmosphere that release light.
They are most commonly glimpsed on Earth at high latitudes, in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. While auroras are typically green, they can also appear violet, red, blue, while or pink, according to NASA.
To produce the auroras video, NASA partnered with media infrastructure experts at Harmonic, with whom they also launched a new UHD channel featuring 4K content — the first noncommercial UHD channel in North America — the agency said in a statement.
And the auroras are just part of the dynamic activity captured in NASA's videos. The agency has also released 4K UHD footage of lightning flashes, the setting moon, expanses of clouds spread over the oceans, and the sprawl of city lights at night.
This is one video you're going to want to watch as large as possible — trust us, it'll be worth it.

VIDEO: Hoefvormige UFO verschijnt bij ruimtestation ISS, waarna de NASA het beeld op zwart zet
Op beelden die zijn gemaakt vanuit het internationale ruimtestation ISS, is een vreemd hoefvormig object te zien. Het verscheen op de livestream, waarna de NASA het beeld op zwart zette.
Volgens de UFO-jagers van YouTube-kanaal Secureteam10 heeft de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie iets te verbergen. Zij zeggen veel van dit soort objecten rond het ruimtestation te hebben gespot.
NASA zegt dat er geregeld reflecties op beelden van het ISS verschijnen en dat die geen bewijs zijn voor buitenaards leven. “Als je de beelden versneld afspeelt lijkt het object op een UFO die van plaats veranderd,” aldus Tyler van Secureteam10. “Het lijkt in eerste instantie op zijn zij te liggen, maar vervolgens voorover te manoeuvreren.”
“Het is zeker een interessante vondst,” voegde hij toe. “En weer lijkt de NASA de livebeelden uit te schakelen. Dat is de reden dat het scherm blauw wordt. Ze hebben dit vaker gedaan en blijven dit doen.”
De NASA liet in een reactie aan de Britse Daily Mail weten: “Reflecties van ramen van het ruimtestation, het station zelf of lichten van de aarde verschijnen geregeld als artefacten op foto’s en in video’s van het ISS.”

Date of discovery: Feb 2014 Location of discovery: Fangliao, Taiwan base Google coordinates: 22°20'09.40”N 120°37'28.33”E Google has done it again. I have reported UFOs on Google Earth, about 6 and all have them have been deleted. This one I reported 2 years ago and no, its photo wasn't updated. This UFO is on Google street view and its just gone. (Click here to see my old 2014 post of it.) The location is the same, the trees, leaves, lighting, even the reflection in the mirror on the corner of the road, but the UFO has beed photoshoped out by US government controlled Google. Yes, Google does work with secret organizations in the US govt and they do delete all UFOs found. Thats why every UFO must be recorded on Video. If you see any of the 6 videos I made with UFOs on Google you know they are real, but also that Google has deleted them. Now...using a Google browser? Using a google phone? Trust them that much?

Faster Than Light! Incredible Illusion Makes Images 'Time Travel'
Faster Than Light! Incredible Illusion Makes Images 'Time Travel'
by Tia Ghose, Senior Writer
Scientists have observed a bizarre phenomenon called time reversal in which light waves seem to travel backward in time. Credit: bunnavit pangsuk /Shutterstock.com
Using a weird phenomenon in which particles of light seem to travel at faster-than-light speeds, scientists have shown that waves of light can seem to travel backward in time.
The new experiment also shows other bizarre effects of light, such as pairs of images forming and annihilating each other.
Taken together, the results finally prove a century-old prediction made by British scientist and polymath Lord Rayleigh. The phenomenon, called time reversal, could allow researchers to develop ultra-high-speed cameras that can peer around corners and see through walls. [In Images: The World's 11 Most Beautiful Equations]
Backtracking sound waves
Lord Rayleigh — the brilliant British physicist who discovered the noble gas argon and explained why the sky is blue — also made a bizarre prediction about sound waves nearly a century ago. Rayleigh reasoned that, because the speed of sound is fixed, an object traveling faster than that while spewing out sound would result in sound waves that would seem to travel in the opposite direction of the object and thus seem to be reversed in time orientation. For instance, a phonograph on a plane traveling at Mach 2, or twice the speed of sound, would seem to play the music backward.
No scientists really doubted this notion, but there was no easy way to test it.
"Using sound, it's something that's really hard to verify and actually hear," said study co-author Daniele Faccio, a physicist at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland.
Sound travels at 761.2 mph (1,225 km/h), but that means that, to hear a 3-second clip of music going backward, a supersonic jet traveling at Mach 2 (or twice the speed of sound) would start replaying the music more than a mile from the listener's location. The scattering and absorption of the sound waves in the air would make the music completely inaudible by that time, Faccio said.
Light reversal
But Faccio and his colleagues realized that if Rayleigh's predictions held true, the same effect would occur in other types of waves, such as light waves. Light travels much, much faster than sound, at 670 million mph (1.1 billion km/h). And the wavelengths themselves are tiny, meaning the time reversal can be demonstrated in a normal-size room.
The researchers were also interested in studying this idea because they were developing ultra-high-speed cameras that could peer around corners, and the phenomenon could affect their algorithms.
There was just one problem with testing Rayleigh's prediction with light: Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
To create a faster-than-light source, the team used a strange phenomenon called illumination fronts, which had previously been described in a series of fascinating thought experiments.
The trick behind illumination fronts is that, while an image may be traveling faster than light, the photons themselves never exceed light speed.
Here's how Illumination fronts work. Imagine taking a laser pointer and flicking the point across a vast and distant wall. While the photons traveling from the laser pointer to the wall are moving at their ordinary speed, because the light hits the wall at an angle, the dot on the wall (the illumination front) always moves faster than that. [Science Fiction or Fact? The Plausibility of 10 Sci-Fi Concepts]
Freezing photons in midair
Next, however, the team had to find some way to capture the speedy paths of images as they zoomed across a wall.
"The key piece of equipment was the camera that allows us to essentially freeze light in motion," Faccio told Live Science. [Video: How to Freeze Light]
To catch time reversal in the act, the team created an illumination front by projecting a single line of light on a screen and moving that line across the screen faster than the speed of light. At the same time, they captured the reflected light in motion using a super-high-speed camera. The camera snapped photos in a few picoseconds, or trillionths of a second, during which time photons travel just a few feet.
Sure enough, the camera captured the line on the wall moving in the opposite direction from the way they moved the line, as if it had traveled backward in time.
Self-annihilating twins
In a second experiment, the team verified an even more bizarre effect, called pair creation and annihilation. (Robert Nemiroff, a physicist at Michigan Technological University, predicted this effect for astronomical objects in a study posted online in May 2015 in the preprint journal arXiv.)
Faccio and his colleagues had an illumination front travel across a curved screen. As the speed of the projected lines exceeded light speed, a pair of lines was created, and the two lines moved away from each other. Using a different curvature, the pair of lines moved toward each other, merged and then annihilated each other, the researchers reported Friday (April 15) in the journal Science Advances.
The findings may have implications for the researchers' corner-peering cameras. This kind of "supersight" requires scientists to analyze the paths that light particles take as they bounce and scatter off various objects. Normally, light travels so fast that, to the human eye, the light coming from many different locations seems to appear instantaneously, making it impossible for the eye to resolve these different light paths and "see" behind corners.
But because high-speed cameras can capture the light in motion, researchers can reconstruct the shape of objects that might not be in the immediate line of sight. However, the mathematical calculation of these paths would need to account for the possibility that some of the light rays they see are time-reversed, because they are coming from an illumination front, Faccio said.
The new findings apply to any type of wave, Faccio said. For instance, there may be certain instances when a seismic wave bounces off a slanted piece of rock deep below Earth's surface, pointing to earthquake activity in one direction, when, in fact, the temblor occurred in the opposite direction, Faccio said.
The new paper also has some other interesting implications, said Nemiroff, who was not involved in the current study.
"I am not sure that either Lord Rayleigh nor [the paper's authors] were aware that sonic booms are the sound equivalent of illumination-front pair-creation events," Nemiroff told Live Science in an email. "With light, you first see a flash when a pair event is created, but with sound, you hear a boom."

A new generation of muon telescopes has been built to detect the presence of secret structures and cavities in Egypt's pyramids, a team of researchers announced on Friday.
Built by CEA (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission) the devices add to an armory of innovative, non-destructive technologies employed to investigate four pyramids which are more than 4,500 years old. They include the Great Pyramid, Khafre or Chephren at Giza, the Bent pyramid and the Red pyramid at Dahshur.
The project, called ScanPyramids, is scheduled to last one year and is being carried out by a team from Cairo University's Faculty of Engineering and the Paris-based non-profit organization Heritage, Innovation and Preservation (HIP Institute) under the authority of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities.
Launched by Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities, a project called Scan Pyramid aims at scanning the largest pyramids of Egypt in order to detect the presence of any unknown internal structures and cavities.
The technique could lead to a better understanding of the pyramids' structure and how they were built.
The project uses a mix of technologies such as infrared thermography, muon radiography, and 3D reconstruction to look at the inside of four pyramids, which are more than 4,500 years old. They include Khufu, or Cheops, Khafre or Chephren at Giza, the Bent pyramid and the Red pyramid at Dahshur.
Several thermal anomalies were observed on all monuments, but one, particularly remarkable, was detected on the eastern side of the Great Pyramid, also known as Khufu or Cheops, at the ground level.
International researchers from Nagoya University and KEK (High Energy Accelerator Research Organization) in Japan and Laval University, Quebec, Canada, have also joined the project, which is separate from the search for the secret room in King Tut's tomb.
"Now we welcome new researchers from the Irfu, a CEA fundamental research team," Mehdi Tayoubi, co-director of the ScanPyramids mission with Hany Helal, professor at Cairo University's Faculty of Engineering and former minister of research and higher education, said.
Irfu, which stands for Institute of Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe, gathers almost 800 researchers on astrophysics, nuclear physics and particle physics.
"These scientists have built dedicated muon telescopes for our mission. They are actually under construction and being tested in the CEA laboratories at Saclay, France," Tayoubi told Discovery News.
"It is really exciting to see how a technology that just came out from a fundamental research laboratory can help us understand 4,500-year-old massive monuments with non visible physics particles," he added.
The new muon devices rely on micro-pattern gas detectors called Micromegas. Extremely precise, they are used to reconstruct particles tracks in high energy physics. For example, CEA's Micromegas have been installed in the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.
Such muon telescopes will be used in addition to the infrared thermography, muon radiography, and 3-D reconstruction technologies that have already been employed to investigate the pyramids.
So far the researchers have detected striking thermal anomalies on the eastern and northern side of the Great Pyramid at Giza, which could possibly indicate an unknown cavity or internal structure.
A team led by specialist Kunihiro Morishima, from the Institute for Advanced Research of Nagoya University, Japan, installed 40 muon detector plates inside the lower chamber of the Bent pyramid at Dahshur in an attempt to capture cosmic particles.
The technology relies on the muons that continually shower the Earth's surface. They emanate from the upper layers of Earth’s atmosphere, where they are created from collisions between cosmic rays of our galactic environment and the nuclei of atoms in the atmosphere.
"Just like X-rays pass through our bodies allowing us to visualize our skeleton, these elementary particles, weighing around 200 times more than electrons, can very easily pass through any structure, even large and thick rocks, such as mountains," Tayoubi said.
Plate detectors placed inside the pyramid allow researchers to discern void areas — these are places where muons cross without problem — from denser areas where some muons are absorbed or deflected.
While the Japanese muon detectors are used inside the pyramids, the new moun telescopes, using gas detectors, will be used outside the pyramids.
"In this way, we can for example better understand some thermal anomalies that have been spotted," Tayoubi said.
"We are not in a hurry to make discoveries as we rather want to build this project step by step. Our goal is to inform about all the actions we take. We hope that other labs with very innovative technologies will join us," Tayoubi said.
The researchers have detailed their findings so far in this video.
The next step will be to announce the first results from the moun detectors placed inside the Bent pyramid at Dahshur.
De dagen van het beroemde 'Wow!-signaal' lijken geteld
De dagen van het beroemde 'Wow!-signaal' lijken geteld
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Wetenschappers zijn een crowdfundingsactie gestart om voor eens en altijd te bewijzen dat het signaal niet veroorzaakt werd door aliens, maar door kometen.
Begin dit jaar schreven we er al over op Scientias.nl: een nieuwe hypothese omtrent het Wow!-signaal. En nu zijn onderzoekers vastbesloten om die hypothese – met een beetje financiële hulp van het publiek – te bewijzen. Zijn de dagen van het mysterieuze Wow!-signaal geteld?
Het wow-signaal: hoe zit het ook alweer? In 1977 waren wetenschappers druk op zoek naar radiosignalen afkomstig van buitenaardse wezens, toen ze opeens een heel opmerkelijk signaal detecteerden. Astronoom Jerry Ehman zette er direct een kanttekening bij: ‘Wow!’. Dit zou wel eens een signaal kunnen zijn dat afkomstig is van aliens. Maar de opwinding was van korte duur. Want één opgevangen signaal is geen signaal: het signaal zou pas van betekenis worden als het de onderzoekers zou lukken om het herhaaldelijk te detecteren. Maar inmiddels is het 2016 en is het ‘Wow!-signaal’ nooit meer gedetecteerd.
EEN VRAAG DIE ONDERZOEKERS ALTIJD BLEEF BEZIGHOUDEN, IS: WAARDOOR WERD DIT SIGNAAL – DAT ZEKER TE WETEN AFKOMSTIG WAS UIT DE RUIMTE – VEROORZAAKT?
De oorzaak Een vraag die onderzoekers altijd bleef bezighouden, is: waardoor werd dit signaal – dat zeker te weten afkomstig was uit de ruimte – veroorzaakt? En begin dit jaar kwamen onderzoekers met een nieuwe hypothese. Het signaal zou afkomstig zijn van..kometen. In hun paper tonen de onderzoekers aan dat zich in het gebied waar in 1977 het Wow!-signaal werd opgepikt op dat moment twee actieve kometen te vinden waren. Die kometen – of de waterstofwolk die rond actieve kometen hangt – zouden het Wow!-signaal hebben veroorzaakt. Dat men als het gaat om de bron van het Wow!-signaal nooit eerder aan deze kometen heeft gedacht, is goed te verklaren. Beide kometen zijn pas recent ontdekt.
Toetsen Het mooie van deze hypothese is, dat we deze kunnen toetsen. De ene komeet – 266P/Christensen – zal op 25 januari 2017 weer in de omgeving van het Wow!-signaal opduiken. En op 7 januari 2018 geeft de andere komeet – P/2008 Y2 – daar acte de présence. Door op die momenten een radiotelescoop op dat gebied te richten, kunnen we het signaal van deze kometen vergelijken met het Wow!-signaal en achterhalen of de kometen de bron van alle opwinding in 1977 waren.
Maar voor het toetsen van die hypothese is geld nodig. Zo’n 20.000 dollar om precies te zijn. En dus zijn de onderzoekers een crowdfundingsactie gestart. Blijkbaar zijn heel veel mensen gefascineerd door hun hypothese, want inmiddels is er al meer dan 18.000 dollar ingezameld. Het lijkt er dan ook sterk op dat de onderzoekers hun doelstelling gaan halen en in 2017 en 2018 daadwerkelijk op jacht kunnen naar deze kometen en wellicht een einde maken aan alle opwinding die het Wow!-signaal al bijna veertig jaar omringt.

Ruimtesonde Dawn maakt prachtige foto's van gevlekte kraters op Ceres
Ruimtesonde Dawn maakt prachtige foto's van gevlekte kraters op Ceres
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De verrassend heldere kraters van Ceres schitteren op nieuwe beelden die ruimtesonde Dawn van zeer kleine afstand van het oppervlak van de dwergplaneet heeft gemaakt.
Op de beelden zien we onder meer de krater Haulani. Met name de valse-kleuren-foto van deze krater (zie hieronder) geeft meer inzicht in de verschillende materialen in en nabij deze krater. Zo zie je blauwachtig materiaal dat uit de krater lijkt te zijn weggeslingerd. Eerder onderzoek naar Ceres suggereert dat de kleur blauw op valse-kleuren-foto’s geassocieerd moet worden met recent ontstane kenmerken op het oppervlak van de dwergplaneet.
Jonge krater Wetenschappers gaan er dan ook vanuit dat Haulani nog niet zo lang geleden ontstaan is. “Haulani heeft alle eigenschappen die we van een nog niet zo oude inslagkrater zouden verwachten,” stelt onderzoeker Martin Hoffmann. De kraterbodem is grotendeels vrij van inslagen en onderscheidt zich duidelijk van oudere delen van het oppervlak.”

Oxo Een andere krater die Dawn op de gevoelige plaat heeft vastgelegd is Oxo: de op één na helderste krater die Ceres rijk is. De krater is zo’n 10 kilometer breed en een deel van de kraterrand is naar beneden gestort. Onderzoekers zijn heel geïnteresseerd in deze krater, omdat de minderalen op de kraterbodem heel anders lijken te zijn dan op andere plekken op Ceres.

Dawn arriveerde in maart vorig jaar bij Ceres en heeft de afstand tot de dwergplaneet geleidelijk aan verkleind. De meest recente beelden van de dwergplaneet zijn gemaakt van een afstand van zo’n 385 kilometer. Van zo’n kleine afstand kan Dawn heel gedetailleerde foto’s maken die ons weer meer kunnen vertellen over hoe Ceres in elkaar steekt en aan welke processen – onder meer inslagen – de dwergplaneet werd en wordt blootgesteld.
“Stratoscrapers” and Underwater Villages: Meet the City of the Future
“Stratoscrapers” and Underwater Villages: Meet the City of the Future
Taylor Herring/Samsung
IN BRIEF
“Earth-scrapers” will tunnel 25 stories or more underground, further extending the vertical dimensions of our reach, and floating cities will drift on the waves while towers stretch kilometers into the atmosphere. These are the cities of the future.
Samsung has released its “SmartThings Future Living Report.” It’s a serious look at the topography of the future, at least in terms of its technological promise, and what that will mean for our lives and how we live them. It’s an extrapolation of current technological trends, as all such predictions inevitably are; but it’s less extravagant than most, more restrained and rooted in scientific realities, and it has a convincing ring of truth to it.
Which is exciting, because if the folks at Samsung are right, it means that over the next century or so we’re going to be in for a very interesting ride.
URBAN EVOLUTION
What will the cities of 2116 look like? Spectacular, beautiful, terrifying, and big…really, reallybig.
A future mega-city. Credit: Taylor Herring/Samsung
The metropolis of the future won’t be a far cry from Fritz Lang’s vision: it will culminate that urban trend that began thousands of years ago—the ultimate descendant of Ur and Memphis, Alexandria and Rome.
Advances in lightweight, super strong building materials, such as carbon nanotubesand diamond nanothread, will allow future cities to flout the laws of gravity—enormous “stratoscrapers,” kilometers high, will dwarf the likes of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa and Saudi Arabia’s projected Kingdom Tower.
Throw in the fact that these colossal edifices may be 3D-printedin situ by swarms of drones, rather than laboriously and dangerously built up through human toil, and there is a great likelihood that the shapes and architectural aesthetic of these huge buildings may conform to nothing we would recognize.
In reality, due to the pressures of population and the constraints of space, these buildings will be “arcologies” (“architectural ecologies”), whole vertical cities unto themselves—complete with residential, business, shopping, agricultural, entertainment, and other districts. A cloud of drone-cars will flit around them like bees about a hive, carrying us to different levels; forget sidewalks and dangerous streets.
What about powering these monstrous urban environments? We’ll likely see the arrival of newer, cleaner, and more exotic forms of energy—nuclear fusion, for instance, that long-awaited dream of harnessing the power of the sun, or geothermal or tidal energy stations, or even immense solar panel farms on the moon, beaming power wirelessly to a hungry earth through microwave transmissions.
And it’s not only the heavens that our urban architecture will seek to colonize.
“Earth-scrapers” will tunnel 25 stories or more underground, further extending the vertical dimensions of these future arcologies. The oceans, however, will form the most coveted frontier for urbanization. Think of giant, self-contained, undersea cities floating in the water column; not rooted to the sea floor like the sessile corals or sea lilies, they’ll drift in the oceans like jellyfish, avoiding storms and seeking more congenial climates.
An undersea city. Credit: Taylor Herring/Samsung
They’ll generate fuel and breathable atmospheres through electrolysis—“cracking” seawater to produce hydrogen (for fuel cells and nuclear fusion power) and oxygen for air.
Mechanical energy, from wave action, and solar power will further augment these cities’ reserves, and desalination will distill drinkable water. They’ll be fully independent, beholden to no one, and that raises its own problems—problems of jurisdiction and sovereignty.
Is it possible to have nations and city-states that don’t possess an inch of surface territory?
Predicting the Future: Here’s What Our Homes May Be Like in 100 Years
Predicting the Future: Here’s What Our Homes May Be Like in 100 Years
Taylor Herring/Samsung
IN BRIEF
Samsung SmartThings has released its “Future Living Report,” a forecast of the next 100 years. Among its many predictions are “smart homes,” undersea cities, “synthetic telepathy,” and 3D-printed gourmet meals.
TIME AND AGAIN
Forecasting the future has been one of humankind’s favorite pastimes. We’re usually pretty bad at it, but there’s always been a Cassandra or a Delphic oracle, a Sibyl or a Nostradamus willing to make the attempt.
Images of a futuristic city from Metropolis(1927).
But in more recent times, the art of predicting the future has almost become a kind of mathematics—very disciplined and scientific.
In the early decades of the last century, a number of scientific prophecies were made about what the future—our present—would be like; some of these were naively optimistic, a few were dead-on accurate, others hopelessly wide of the mark.
It’s always been fun to see how these old dreamers envisioned their future. For example, in Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent masterpiece Metropolis, the future was an immense urban jumble of Art Deco architecture, complete with multi-tiered highways and giant machines run by an oppressed working class. The famous science fiction pioneer H. G. Wells, in his 1933 novel The Shape of Things to Come, imagined that we would be living under something called the “Air Dictatorship”—a kind of technocratic world state ruled by air power.
Others focused more on the technological aspects of the future, and the many scientific wonders and gadgets to come. The old comic strip Buck Rogers in the 25th Century had some interesting things to say about this—predicting, among other things, text messaging, cell phones, surveillance drones, and even the Hyperloop, the pneumatic transport system proposed by Elon Musk.
And it is along these lines—though with a more official and academic imprimatur—that Samsung has released its “SmartThings Future Living Report.” It’s a serious look at the topography of the future, at least in terms of its technological promise, and what that will mean for our lives and how we live them. It’s an extrapolation of current technological trends, as all such predictions inevitably are; but it’s less extravagant than most, more restrained and rooted in scientific realities, and it has a convincing ring of truth to it.
Which is exciting, because if the folks at Samsung are right, it means that over the next century or so we’re going to be in for a very interesting ride.

SMART LIVING
According to the report, we can expect some pretty remarkable changes to our homes and our personal spaces, to say nothing of those ordinary, overlooked things that make up so much of our daily routine. As human populations soar, our cities and homes will have to adapt; interior living spaces will change as a cloud changes, easily reconfigured and rearranged to suit our fickle tastes, or accommodate different purposes.
Imagine walls and floors made of a malleable “skin,” and embedded with tiny sensors and actuators so that the shape and size of living spaces can quickly change, or even be divided into smaller rooms; imagine fully programmable “smart homes” that can be controlled remotely, and provide feedback to their owners—yes, there’ll even be an app for that.
Virtual decorations will alter with changing tastes, moods and whims; and the entire interior surface of the home will be implanted with LED technology—television screens and computer displays will form and unform in any room, as needed. Even our furniture will be adaptable, molding to custom fit our bodies, responding to changes in posture, or disappearing altogether when not needed.

It will be the ultimate evolution of the “Internet of Things.” Misplaced something? Can’t find your keys? No problem. Just use an online search function to find it. Hate the color of that accent wall? Delete it. Need more storage space? Watch new shelves appear, as if by magic.
And the amenities are fantastic. Every home will come standard with a 3D printer; they’ll be able to churn out just about anything you could wish, using downloadable patterns, probably including even complex electronic devices. They may even print out your meals, designed and programmed by the world’s master chefs.
Walk-in “medical pods,” meanwhile, will contribute to the decentralization of healthcare—their imaging sensors will diagnose your ills and, for the more easily treatable maladies, dispense drugs, inject antibiotics, and recommend health regimens. It may even be possible to undergo remote, robot-mediated surgery, in the comfort of your own home.
This barely scratches the surface. Imagine homes whose very building material is salted with dormant limestone-producing bacteria, which awaken upon contact with moisture and repair any cracks or structural damage.
There will be “digestion tanks” full of anaerobic bacteria, to dispose of our waste; and our homes will produce, store, and reuse their own energy, using “microbial fuel cell stacks” and more efficient solar panels to generate electricity, and power-banks like the Tesla powerwall to store it against future use. Personal homes will be almost fully independent of a dangerously overtaxed energy grid.
One hundred years in the future, our houses will be, in almost all respects, semi-living, artificial organisms—closed systems with a metabolism, sensory apparatus, immune response, and an approximation to a nervous system.
We’ll be living in homes that are practically alive. An uncanny thought.

An Antimatter Drive In Less Than a Decade? It’s Not as Far-Fetched as You Might Think
An Antimatter Drive In Less Than a Decade? It’s Not as Far-Fetched as You Might Think

IN BRIEF
Physicist Gerald Jackson thinks he can build an antimatter drive capable of taking us to the stars in less than a decade; all that’s needed is a little ready cash. To that end, his company, Hbar Technologies, is crowdfunding this lofty ambition with a Kickstarter campaign.
HAVE ANTIMATTER, WILL TRAVEL
Gerald Jackson, a former physicist at Fermilab, has a big dream. He thinks that, given unlimited funds, we could have a fully demonstrable, antimatter-propelled spacecraft prototype ready in less than a decade.
But since he doesn’t possess unlimited economic resources, and since the likelihood of any government underwriting a prohibitively expensive program in antimatter propulsion technology is pretty remote, he’s decided to turn to the guerrilla funding tactics of the 21st century: He’s starting a Kickstarter campaign.
The idea is to raise $200,000 to crowdfund initial antimatter propulsion research for Jackson’s company, Hbar Technologies.
It’s an ambitious goal, but the potential rewards are staggering. The creation of a functional antimatter engine would mean drastically reduced travel times for space probes, both within the solar system and in the interstellar spaces beyond. With potential velocities of 40% of the speed of light, it would mean that the stars would suddenly come within our reach; a journey lasting as long as the voyage of the New Horizons probe to Pluto would take us, not merely to the outermost bodies in our solar system, but to whole systems of planets circling nearby stars.
Some experts assert that a more realistic estimate of such a spacecraft’s speed would be about 0.10c (10% of the speed of light), but even this would represent a fantastic speed that is utterly beyond anything we have today, and it would still put a probe in the Alpha Centauri system (the closest alien system to our own) in just 40 years.
The problem is twofold: devising a lightweight propulsion system that doesn’t outweigh the payload by orders of magnitude; and actually getting one’s hands on significant enough quantities of antimatter, a notoriously difficult substance to come across (which, incidentally, is fortunate for those of us made of normal matter).
Jackson thinks he has a solution to the first problem. “[M]y Hbar partner, physicist Steven Howe, and I came up with a very light propulsion system whose mass was comparative to the payload—an antimatter sail,” he explains.

MAKING ANTIMATTER
As far as the antimatter production problem—that may be a bit more difficult. Antimatter on Earth can only be found where humans have created it, deep in the hearts of the world’s most powerful particle accelerators—one antiproton at a time.
Jackson and Howe estimated that only 17 grams of antihydrogen would be required to power their antimatter drive, which doesn’t sound like much; however, less than one gram of the stuff has been produced, and none of it has been contained for much more than a day. So to sum: It’s very difficult to store, and its production would require a multi-billion dollar particle collider solely dedicated to churning out antimatter day after day—a fantastically expensive project.
Still, Jackson continues to dream, and it is of such stuff that the future is built. He thinks he’s solved the containment issue, and he wants cash to build a proof-of-concept. The rest, he hopes, will follow in due time.

MEET THE CRAFT
Briefly, the spacecraft design outlined by Jackson and Howe is as follows—the probe will consist of four parts: A carbon “sail” coated with depleted uranium, a storage unit containing the requisite antihydrogen in solid form, an antiproton-powered electrical energy system, and a robotic imaging and instrument package (the science payload).
The actual motive principle behind the antimatter drive is a curious one. The antihydrogen is used to induce fission, and will produce 2 GeV (2 billion electron volts) of power—far in excess of anything standard chemical rockets generate. Upon striking a depleted uranium foil within the spacecraft, the antiprotons cause the uranium to fission, producing two “daughter” byproducts which are emitted in opposite directions.
One of these byproducts slams into the uranium-coated sail, imparting its momentum to it like wind bellying the cloth sails of a terrestrial clipper ship. The other byproduct is exhausted like a conventional rocket propellant—that process of “leaving something behind” quoted in the film Interstellar as the only way mankind has ever found of getting from one place to another in space. So there are really two propulsive engines at work simultaneously, which (theoretically) cause the spacecraft to accelerate rapidly to appreciable fractions of the speed of light.
It’s an interesting proposal, and well worth investigation. Perhaps, with Kickstarter funding, Jackson and Howe can start the serious business of making this science fictional technology a reality. That said, they estimate a further $100 million is needed to develop an Earth-based test to prove that the technology actually works…so that may only be something our progeny get to see.
“Crowdfunding may be a good way to show interest in the project when it comes time to find bigger investors or governmental support,” says Jackson.
After that, with sufficient will, and a couple of billion dollars burning a hole in one’s pocket, dispatching antimatter probes capable of 0.40c to the near stars shouldn’t be a problem at all.
Evidence for the existence of a “new” Ninth Planet, 10 times the Earth’s mass and lurking on the outer rim of the Solar System, just got a little bit firmer with the announcement of a new KBO.
But this distant world would be no pipsqueak, like the other icy, planetary embryos that we’ve discovered in the Kuiper Belt.
In fact, Brown and his team calculated a mass for the object of approximately 10 times the Earth’s, suggesting that it was the incipient core of a giant planet (like Jupiter or Saturn) that was jostled in the early phases of the Solar System’s formation, and rudely ejected into an astonishing 149 billion-kilometer (92 billion-mile) orbit, or nearly 75 times more distant than Pluto.
That means the hypothetical planet’s “year” can last anywhere from 10,000-20,000 terrestrial years.
Now, the evidence for the existence of such an object is indirect—specifically, the effect it seems to be having on neighboring outer Solar System bodies, called Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs). Six of these objects had been detected with wildly eccentric orbits, including the large planetoid Sedna, with an orbital period of 11,000 years.

“Hey Planet Nine fans, a new eccentric KBO was discovered. And it is exactly where Planet Nine says it should be,” Mike Brown tweeted. Furthermore, he says, the new object “takes the probability of this being a statistical fluke down to ~.001% or so.”
Whether this hypothetical, 10 Earth-mass planet is the famed “Nemesis” object, said to be responsible for cometary influxes that cause mass extinctions on Earth, remains to be seen (though astronomers are, understandably, skeptical); but with the detection of uo3L91, the case for something massive lurking in the outer Solar System, and affecting the orbits of distant planetoids, just got a little bit stronger.
But we’ll have to wait and see. Perhaps more such detections will let us nail down the giant planet’s orbital path; maybe then we’ll be able to snap a picture of it with some next-gen Earth-based telescope.
Till then, keep your eyes peeled for more eccentric KBOs.
Scientists Discover Quasar That Emits Jets Reaching 18 Trillion Degrees
Scientists Discover Quasar That Emits Jets Reaching 18 Trillion Degrees
NASA
IN BRIEF
New observations show temperatures in the jet of quasar 3C 273 in a distant galaxy were able to reach 18 trillion degrees Fahrenheit.
18 TRILLION°
Despite their name, black holes can actually light up the sky with huge bursts of radiation that shine brighter than all the surrounding stars. Astronomers believe these jets come from a ring of hot material around the black hole, called a quasar.
Artist’s concept of RadioAstronm the telescope that measured the black hole jets.
We’ve always thought there was a limit to how bright these jets could shine, and consequently how much heat they could produce. As the electrons inside the jet would heat up to over 170 billion degrees Fahrenheit, the jet would produce X-rays and gamma rays, which would interact with each other and then cool down the emissions.
Now though, new observations show temperatures in the jet of quasar 3C 273 in a distant galaxy were able to reach 18 trillion degrees Fahrenheit.
“This result is very challenging to explain with our current understanding of how relativistic jets of quasars radiate,” astronomer Yuri Kovalev said in a statement.
Scientists are still pretty shocked, and the team will need to do more research to figure out just how the quasar got so hot without cooling down. Luckily, they have some impressive technology on their side.
The team credits these results to interferometry, which occurs when multiple telescopes are linked together to get fine resolution of a distant object. Specifically, the team used a radio space telescope linked to several ground telescopes. They’re collectively called RadioAstron, and when they’re linked together, it’s equivalent to using a telescope the size of eight Earth diameters. Their resolution is about 1,000 times finer than the Hubble Space Telescope.
Thanks to this highly-detailed view, researchers actually discovered something else about 3C 272. It had previously unknown visible distortions to its substructure, as seem from Earth, caused by peering through the interstellar medium in our own Milky Way.
As our telescopic technology continues to improves, who knows what we might find next.
Vendors at a conference in Aurora sold a range of UFO-related books and paraphernalia. Makayla Smith, 17, was selling alien-faced cupcakes.
CHRISTOPHER CONNELLY / KERA
According to legend -- and a Texas historical marker -- early in the morning on April 17, 1897, something strange happened in the small town of Aurora, about 30 miles northwest of Fort Worth.
A cigar-shaped airship was seen falling from the sky when it crashed through a windmill and exploded. The airship, it is said, was not of this world. The pilot – from Mars, people thought at the time – was allegedly buried with Christian rites at the nearby Aurora Cemetery.
The Wise County town recently hosted a conference to commemorate the UFO crash. Folks have different opinions about what happened nearly 120 years ago.
Toni Wheeler first heard the story of the crash when she was a kid growing up in Aurora. An older neighbor would sit on his porch and tell stories.
“Then I started asking my grandfather about it and he would snicker about it,” Wheeler said. “And my grandmother said 'it’s hogwash.' But my uncles would discuss it. Especially my uncle Marvin. He loved to tell tall tales anyway, and he really got on telling all kinds of stories, and Ned’s story was one of them.”
They call him Ned
Many folks in Aurora call the alien Ned. He's the extra-terrestrial pilot that is said to have been buried in in the town. Wheeler came up with the name -- and it stuck.
Wheeler’s family has been in Aurora for several generations. She’s been Aurora’s city administrator for more than a decade.
On Saturday, Wheeler spent the day leading bus trips to the crash site and the old town cemetery. It was part of the Aurora Alien Encounter conference she helped organize.
Researchers have looked into the story for years, testing water in the well where the wreckage was said to be stored, digging metal out of trees at the crash site as proof something exploded, and using radar to see if there really is a Ned in Ned’s grave. In the 1970s, Wheeler says people even tried to exhume the remains.
“You cannot exhume a grave unless you notify the next of kin,” Wheeler says with a smile. “And that’s how the cemetery association got the court injunction in 1972 to keep them from exhuming the remains.”

Texas a UFO hotbed
This wasn’t the only UFO sighting in Texas in the spring of 1897. New telescope technology had allowed people to see the face of Mars more clearly than ever, though maybe not quite clearly enough.
An Italian astronomer in 1888 announced he’d seen evidence of canals on the red planet.
“People kind of freaked out,” says E.R. Bills, an author who wrote about the Aurora incident in his book Texas Obscurities. “It was the first serious discussion of maybe there being life. So when this crash happened here, you know, people had heard of that, and that’s why they assumed the pilot was from Mars.”
The Dallas Morning News, taking at face value that it was indeed an extra-terrestrial event, linked Ned's ship to a series of UFO sightings around the country and quoted a U.S. signal service officer who“gives it as his opinion that he was a native of the planet Mars.”
“Papers found on his on his person – evidently a record of his travels – are written in some unknown hieroglyphics, and cannot be deciphered," the newspaper reported.
“The ship was too badly wrecked to form any conclusion as to its construction or motive power. It was built of an unknown metal, resembling somewhat a mixture of aluminum and silver.”
This article appeared in the Dallas Morning News on April 19, 1897,
Embracing the alien story?
There were lots of theories about what happened back in 1897. There still are. Some thought it was a man-made dirigible that crashed, others called it a hoax. Some at the time saw it as a sign of Judgment Day approaching.
These days, in Aurora, there’s more tension over whether the city should embrace the alien story.
"There’ve been people that are a part of our city council, that are a part of other committees throughout the city who have threatened resignation for us being involved in this,” says Amanda Smith, Aurora Historical and Preservation Commission secretary. “It is that serious.”
The conference is just one way the town is cashing in on its lore. There are plans for an alien-themed haunted house this fall. A statue is in the works -- featuring a broken windmill and the flying saucer Ned crashed.
“I live not far from here, and every day – every day – there are people lined up at the cemetery looking around,” Smith says. “And from a business standpoint, and a marketing standpoint, that is an asset we’re not capitalizing on.”
More than just a business opportunity, though, she says embracing the town’s quirky history is a way to preserve its unique identity as it is enveloped into the outer suburbs of Fort Worth. Without that history, she says, “our heritage goes away, and [Aurora] becomes just another part of the conglomerate.”
Smith says she was pleased with the conference’s turnout. The venue, she said, was at capacity. Conference organizers say they want this to be a yearly tradition.
'We're not the only ones out here'
Like a lot of attendees, Richard Wall says he’s had his own UFO encounter. Several years back, he says he saw glowing spheres in the night sky that flew off with a sonic boom. As for the 1897 crash, though, Wall is skeptical.
“I’m sure somebody saw something, and they’re trying to make something plausible of the story behind what they saw,” he says.
His wife, Dolly Moravitz- Wall, shook her head at her husband’s disbelief.
“I believe it,” she says. “I really do. Because there are other beings out there. We’re not the only ones out here.”
The two together share the views that so many people who turned out to learn more about the event: That even if Ned didn’t crash land in Aurora in 1897, it doesn’t mean Ned’s cousins aren’t out there.
The mysterious UFO was first spotted by Scott Waring of UFO Sightings Daily as he watched the live stream.
He then passed the footage on to alien hunter Tyler Glockner who uploaded the video to is YouTube channel secureteam10 .
Narrating the video, Tyler said: “When you play this footage quickly, it looks like the UFO changes its position.
“When we first see it it’s more on its side, but when you cycle through the footage it seems to be maneuvering more on its face.
“it’s definitely another interesting find and once again directly after it appears NASA cuts the feed.
“That’s why you see the screen go blue. they’ve done this, they have been doing this, they have their hand on the chicken switch as they call it.
“I know they monitor these feeds but sometimes they’re not quick enough and UFOs appear.
“We have documented that on this channel for years now.
“The only time when the feed tends to get cut is oddly when these UFOs appear.”
Tyler says the ISS live feed went down in 2014 after a massive yellow disk was spotted hovering over the space station.
And the latest sighting comes after Jadon Beeson, 20, spotted a cigar-shaped object with a blueish hue hovering close to the ISS.
“It was a metallic object, it looks like a Millennium Falcon from Star Wars or something from Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” he told the Mail Online .
“I thought it was all very strange.”
Jadon sent to images to NASA to see what they made of the sighting.
In response a spokesperson said: “Reflections from station windows, the spacecraft structure itself or lights from Earth commonly appear as artefacts in photos and videos from the orbiting laboratory.”
The UFO floating home concept from mini yacht-maker Jet Capsule offers a completely off-grid existence.View gallery (12 images)
While you can always head for the hills to wait out the apocalypse, a more stylish option could be a fully sustainable floating home from Italian mini yacht-maker Jet Capsule. The company has drawn up a concept for a saucer-shaped UFO, or Unidentified Floating Object, which offers a completely off-grid existence floating on the ocean.
According to the company's co-founders, Pierpaolo Lazzarini and Luca Solla, the UFO is intended for "living in a floating house and moving slowly around the world." "Slowly" in this case means a leisurely maximum speed of 3.5 knots (6.5 km/h, 4 mph), using a waterjet-propelled Torqeedo Deep Blue 1800 electric motor.
This motor is connected to a battery that draws energy generated from 40 sq. m (430 sq. ft.) of solar panels in a closable lid atop the structure. Additional energy sources can be provided through optional wind and water turbines located on the top and below the main disc of the UFO, respectively, creating enough power to operate the home and motor.
The company says an onboard water generator would be used for converting rain or seawater to fresh drinking water, as well as watering a vegetable garden located on a deck that encircles the structure and measures 12.5 m (41 ft) in diameter.
Two half-spherical shells of fiberglass make up the two stories of the interior housing, with flexible floor plans for various configurations. Generally, the orb-shaped home will consist of a transformable kitchen and dining/living area on a 20-sq. m (215-sq. ft.) top level, with stairs leading down to a 10-sq. m (107-sq. ft.) submerged lower level with bathroom and bedroom surrounded by a large window for viewing sea life.
To keep the craft stable, the UFO uses a special elastic anchor system. "The main structure of the floating object can be aligned with the compass, keeping the position angle oriented on the desired cardinal direction, even in rough sea conditions," say the designers.
The company is currently seeking investors to build the first working prototype, at an estimated cost of US$800,000, with homes produced after that estimated at $200,000, which is actually cheaper than the average price of an, albeit larger, houseboat.
During the past few years, I have written about people who have had strange encounters with alien or unknown beings as well as lost time events. The people involved in these events are often referred to as contactees or experiences or abductees. They are people who are taken against their will having their lives and bodies invaded or used until they are returned confused and with no or little memory of what took place . Many of these people started having strange events occur to them as small children as young as age three. Most of the encounters are vague at best in memory while messages or ideas seem to become implanted in the minds of those taken which they, in turn, feel compelled to explain or share after the abduction or lost time experience.
I have interviewed many people who have been through this time of the event and have found many similar threads that run through this community of people. Today I want to discuss one of those similarities. Among the abduction victims, I have talked to the subject of children or being used for the collection of biological material to use fora inter-species reproduction project seems to be the main concern for these people. The subject comes into the conversation usually by the abductee as this seems to be a topic that weighs heavily on their minds. The idea of being used to produce a child or life form that is only half human and that half coming from them is an idea that pushes the abductees to a point of deep concern and fear. I have been told over and over that their worse fear would be for them to come face to face with a being that they thought was theirs by way of their abductions.
I know this fear has been realized in a few cases where those who have experienced these events have an experience where either children or teens are shown to abductees without explanation. Odd looking children or teens will in strange places appear and walk over and either simply look at or speak a few words tot he abductees before quickly walking away or vanish before the abductee can react to them leaving the abductees with a deep implanted feeling that they were shown their alien hybrid children.
The people who have had this happen to seem to be rare however they all were seriously shaken by the event, They are people who carry the images of these children or teens with fear anguish and upset after the experience making their life harder as they struggle why they are the one who has been chosen to endure these horrid abduction experiences .
I have worked with and have become friends with Randy Maugans who is the host of Off Planet Radio. Randy and I have worked together on his shows and as I mentioned become friends due to the fact we share a great deal in common with our thinking and personal experiences with the unknown.
Randy is a life long experiences with strange events happening to him when he was a small child of about three. He has continued with odd events and lost time scenarios during his entire lifetime. Although Randy radio show covers the subjects of the unknown Randy has only recently started to discuss his own experiences recently.
Randy and I were discussing a show we were preparing to work on together when I started to ask him a bit more about his own encounters. Randy floored me when he mentioned that a few years ago he had a truly upsetting experience that has kept him nervous and confused since.
Randy was working late and took a break at dinner time to go get something to eat. He was sitting at an outdoor table during the summer eating all alone when two strange young people approached him. Randy has agreed to tell us in his own words what took place ;
” I was having dinner at a Chinese take out place one night in September 2010. The place had a covered area with tables outside. It was a nice night so I went out and sat down to eat my dinner. I was the only one there at the time eating. I was busy with my dinner when I felt someone was there or looking at me so I looked up to find two young people standing a few feet away from me.
The moment I notice them both of them walked right up to my table inches from where I sat, One was a teenage male in his late teens the other a teen female a bit younger, They were very strange looking. They were both on the tall side but extremely thin. They wore jeans but they did not look like a normal teen as they had on odd shirts and wore their hair unlike most kids, I know I have a house full of teenagers, They had pale skin and extremely large eyes, The eyes were blue but way too big for their faces and skull. They had straight slit-like pupils not round like ours.The boy had shaggy dark blonde hair the girl dark straight hair with large widows peek.
The two of them stood close and over me until the male bent down a bit and I heard in my head his voice saying “Hello how are you ” He did not communicate this orally it was done mentally. With that, the two of them stepped back and quickly took off into the parking lot area.
The Chinese restaurant is in a strip mall the restaurant is the located on the end being the last store in the strip. I was extremely shaken at what had just happened and got up immediately and stepped out into the parking lot which I could clearly see from my area and searched for them. It was only seconded that passed yet I could not see them anywhere, I knew they did not even have enough time to make it to a car much less disappear from the parking area, I walked around and looked but could not find any sign of them. I returned to my table however was so upset by the event that I was physically shaking and needed to calm down before I was able to drive and return to work.
I knew that the two were not fully human and will tell you that one horrid thought went through my mind as I sat there experiencing this while they were in front of me and every day since. The horror that flowed through me then and still does now is one thought – are they mine?
Once I returned to work I immediately took notes and drew a sketch of what I had just experienced. I have to tell you that this event is one that really has and still does shake me to my bone. “
Below are Randy’s notes and sketch from that day.
Eyes: approximately 1/3 size larger than normal (the drawing is a visual representation, but not exact); (creepy) the irises of both subjects were elliptical, not round. I recall both subjects eyes were light-colored: the male had green-blue eyes; the female’s eyes were nearly translucent with a slight blue tint—it was quite stunning.
The ears were not “pointy”, but slightly more elongated than the average human subject; the lobes were either attached or did not exist’
Hard to show in the sketch, but the cranial (foreheads) were more prominent; i.e.- frontal cranium had a very noticeable protrusion.
The female subject had a noticeable “widows peak”; the male, as I recall did not but the hair was also longish likely more of a forward sweep. Male’s hair was light, or blondish, the female’s hair was dark…black? Can’t say for certain now.
The heights of the subjects were, relative to my height (5’11-1/2”)—male around 5’11”, female around 5’8” or so (sketch, right sideline sketch).
When I saw Randy’s sketch I was a bit shocked as many years ago I talked with a man before the world was discussing these strange events of lost time and abduction to a man who had a few UFO sightings in his lifetime. He was in his 80 years old at the time but sharp and clear in his thinking. He told me of his fear that he had alien children and also had sketched three young children about 12 who looked very much like the ones Randy drew. I wish I had kept the drawing but it was over 20 years since I last saw this man and I was not yet gathering information in the fashion I try to do now and can not longer find his sketch, I do recall the three children had large eyes were very thin and also spoke to him as he said in his head. I talked to one of the abductees that I interviewed over the last few years about what happened to Randy to find out if she knew of any others who had this experience. At once she burst into tears and said: ” This man ( Randy) lived my worst nightmare”. She explained that her worst fear since she had started to be taken in her late teens was that one day she too would be shown children that were alien and half her flesh and blood and the thought has terrorized her for years, I did not know how to comfort her as I think all abductees feel the same way. Randy was just chosen for some reason to be shown what may have been his. Maybe the reason Randy feels compelled to dive into the unknown with his radio shows is due to his experiences with the unknown . Maybe his being shown those two beings was so Randy would discuss it and bring the idea of it out to the public to consider as the time for us to learn more truth in these matters starts to come closer and closer. I believe that the reason those like Randy are the ones taken relates to their biology and DNA as well as blood type . Many if not almost most abductees I have come to know all share the odd coincidence of having RH negative blood factor which is rare in the overall population but usual in the abduction population . You find other factors as well including eye color and family background origins, Many have Irish family lines as well as other similar traits, I think those taken are taken not for who they are as an individual but of the body chemistry they were born with, That also explains why many abduction cases can be known to run in families . Whatever it going on and whatever Randy encountered that night I think it all adds up to the fact it is the time we understand this is knowledge we are being shown and given and realize how important it is to share and learn from it. What Randy experienced and all those who have been taken realize is that this is not a TV horror movie or fiction . These are not new movie trailers we are discussing or scary stories to entertain you, We take our time to tell you these things as they happen to real people just like you all the time and we need to stop being so ignorant of things we do not understand and must start to try to grasp on to the fact that it is time to stop being ridiculous and start wanting to know what the hell is going on out there before it may just be too late, With knowledge and in strength we can continue as a species in ignorance and divided we will fail. You can find Randy Maugans show@ http://radio.offplanetmedia.net/RANSMISS
I had an interesting conversation recently concerning my article about two sisters and their difficulties over a lifetime of lost time abduction encounters.
The conversation was based on the fact that not only have I come to the conclusion that writing about real time abductions was a waste of my time and the Real-Time Abductees time too, but I explained that writing about this group of unusual people and their experiences did not seem to interest the public or any other group or researchers at all. The fact the real time abductees could have been a wealth of data on the subject of abduction and lost time did not seem to be of interest to anyone in any form.
I am sure that a great deal of it was due to the fact that my articles about their experiences were told as they related them, which was in a logical truthful fashion. My articles were not filled with movie script type detailed, colorful descriptions of amazing aliens and their crafts. I do not write horror or fantasy. I write what really goes on, which I feel is just too boring and black and white for the average paranormal reader.
Long ago the lines between good entertainment for fun and real research became so distorted in the subjects we consider “unknown” that truth, fiction, fraud and research became so convoluted that all real answers to real questions have been lost, Trying to work in this area, using fact or truth without the color, became impossible or was so confused that it is at the point of being quite impossible.
Real-time abductions are events that occur to people who are fully awake and alert who are going about the business of their normal daily routines and who are suddenly abducted against their will.
These people suffer lost time and then find they are returned often to a different place from where they were taken . They are very often ill, dazed and at times hurt. They can recall when the event starts, but have little memory of what happened to them before they find themselves awakening hours later.
Some of the abductees have flashed memories of what took place during their abductions. Some return with knowledge or skills or thoughts they did not have before they were taken. Many suffer these events more than once during their life. All are somehow changed during the experience.
During my years of writing about these fascinating people, I promised them that I would answer without embellishment any questions, giving the most truthful answers I could to the questions asked.
It took courage for the abductees to allow me to write about them or to answer questions concerning their experiences. The fact that not one person or group or organization ever wanted any information concerning their ordeals with these strange abductions made these people recoil from reaching out, and closed the door at my attempts at finding answers.
Finally, after all of these years, we have had someone ask a few questions about their abduction events. After a conversation with the abductees, it was decided that I could answer the handful of questions before I end my adventure of writing about this group of people to whom I refer to as The Real Time Abductees.
Adding salt to the wound of rejection for the abductees is the fact that the questions were not even asked directly to me or them, but came by way of an email of a third party who was corresponding with the person who finally did ask a few questions about the abductees encounters.
I found the questions to be thoughtful and decided as my last article on the subject of Real-Time Abduction to answer these questions, I know that there is a wealth of data being lost with these people, however, I have tried my best to find an audience or place that could benefit and learn from them and have found only silence and disinterest in what they have to say or warn us about concerning their abduction encounters,
Below are the questions with the answers following each question:
Question: ”What occurred during the abductions?”
Answer: Nothing during this abduction of the two sisters case as it was stopped ,however, during the battle to stop it both women were hurt as the article about the two sisters explains.
Other abductees do have flash memories of what took place including the recall of multiple beings surrounding the abductee or bright lights making it difficult to see what is going on around them.
The abductees I refer to as the Real Time Abductees have no clear memory of being examined or touched. All of the abductees agree that they have had their memory wiped clean of the events before they are returned. Some flashes of what took place do remain in a few of the abductees . Others feel their abductors wiped too much memory taking with it parts of their lifetime memories that they can no longer remember.
Question: ”What are the lingering health problems?”
Answer: This is a very lengthy list that includes many different problems for different people. I will give the overall problems, which they all share.
The spine , neck and skeleton of the abductees all have been altered leaving them with issues from compression to actual breaks. Many have had large spurs grow in odd places that burrow into the surrounding muscles, leaving them in constant pain.
Almost all have had to seek long-term medical help to deal with some form of spinal and bone issues. It has been common for an abductee to be told that they show that bones they never broke now show clear signs upon being x-rayed of having been broken.
There are cases when a shoulder bone (or other large bone) shows that it was, without question, broken and has healed poorly. Spinal fractures also are commonly found.
One of the abductees, when they had X-rays taken for a different health issue, was asked when in the past they had had the accident when it was found that theypresented both a bad shoulder and broken back, which had healed.
Of course, the abductee had never had “an accident” or any broken bones that they knew of until X-rayed
This is a scenario that plays out often with abduction victims. All of the abductees suffer from a flu-like sickness, with a red, raised rashes on their backs or chests that last for about two weeks after an abduction. It can flare up any time during their lifetimea for a few years after an abduction,
All the abductees have problems with light and they cannot tolerate bright sun or bright lights of any kind, including fluorescent lighting. All of the abductees require very dark sunglasses, and sit in shaded areas as the bright sun both blinds them and causes their eyes to hurt.
Many of the abductees suffer from very large red rashes that come and go, which are uncontrollable and painful. One abductee has a growing reptile-like scale rash spreading across her body that does not respond to any treatment.
The abductees have issues that would be presented in those who have had problems with their adrenal , pituitary and thyroid functions.
This is just a partial list of the problems they deal with. On the other side of the coin, the abductees all have had their IQ increase and have been able to increase their skill sets with ease.
The strangest thing they all share in common and cannot explain is that they return with new knowledge about something tha they did not have before the abduction, or with thoughts or visions of what will happen in the future that always prove to be true.
Question: ”What did the abductors look like?”
Answer: Since the abductee's memory is always wiped or cleaned before they are returned, it is very hard to answer this question. The main combined agreed-to description by the abductees that their abductors are built or shown in a human form with one head, two arms and two legs. Some feel they are hairless with light skin while others feel they are covered in some type of skin or suit.
They do not recall their faces or features. However, they do all agree that they have a badodor, similar to mold and sulfur.
Question: “What was inside the green light?”
Answer: Nothing, but a large sweeping ray of green light that runs from a very hot area that can turn extremely cold in a second. It does have a vibration or hum to it. It is part of a tool used to scoop up their victims.
Question: ”Is there a merger between supernatural and extraterrestrial worlds, or is this a terrestrial demonic attack?”
Answer: There seem to be ways that we do not understand that dimensions we have no knowledge of can intermingle when they are needed. It seems clear in the two sisters' case that the energy of this woman's departed family members were able to manifest in order to protect the woman from her abductor.
No one on this planet understands how the interdimensional worlds work or how those who are part of them enter and exit the dimension that we live in.
In this case, we see that all the things that we do not understand come into focus as a crossing of dimensions, such as those that clearly took place in front of the family, as in the two sisters abduction case.
Obviously, it is a simple case of our not being able to understand the way the universe or how the multi-dimensions work or interact. The fact is that “they” do know how to manipulate and transport them (when needed) between dimensions.
The sisters did not feel this was a demonic issue, but one of her family warning the unknown creature or alien that it needs to stop.
The creature has not returned and, for now, all abductions seem to have ended for the two sisters family.
Time will tell the answers to all of these questions as eventually we will learn how all of this works and we will be able to understand and handle our human dimension with intelligence. For now, we as a species seem simply content with remaining in the dark on many things we do not understand and label “paranormal. ” It is, of course, all science that we simply do not yet grasp.
We received a question last year that was left on my voice mail from a man that I will answer now, as well. The caller asked if any of the abductees were told to tell us anything by the aliens , for example:
Question: “Was the abductee asked any questions about being a human?”
I did not answer this question at the time It was left, as I had just finished and published an article on warnings given by the abductees.
All the abductees have returned with the impressions of both natural and man-made disasters and an immanent world war impressed upon them.
They were also given warnings concerning “giving up our humanity” so easily to technology, which provides easy access to our control. I have written about all of those things repeatedly.
The other interesting question the man left on the voice mail was:
Question: ”Have the aliens had ever asked any of their human captives any questions?”
I thought about this and remembered an older man (who had been taken many times during his life) telling me that he did have an encounter once with a very curious alien who did ask him via thought and images questions that he found very unusual.
The interview with this abductee stuck out in my mind and I was able to locate the notes that I took while talking with him. He was not comfortable with me writing his encounters and until now I had nowhere to write about the part of his interview that discussed the alien questions. The man told me the alien communicated by showing him visions or images or placed thoughts in his head.
The first thing the alien asked was by showing him images or visions of large groups of people eating. Eating around tables, at fast food restaurants and just about every scene you could image of people eating lots of food.
The next thing he was shown were images of people starving to death. All kinds of people from all over the world, many of them children. The images the abductee told me were heartbreaking and made him feel terrible when he viewed them.
The alien wanted to know:
“Why since we have so much food, some have it yet waste it and others die from not having it?”
The alien wanted to know why we do this? He even placed images of rows of farming and piles of freshly caught fish in the man's head. Again the alien asked him why do humans feed some too much and starve others? The abductee told me his mind went blank, as the only answer he had was that he did not know why we do this.
The older abductee was also shown an image of what looked like a science lab of some sort with a handful of people working in the lab, also in the manner of thoughts and images or visions presented to him by the alien was asked why we have the technology, but only a few humans are educated or advancing?
He was also shown a huge movie screen with what looked like thousands of people cheering at zombies or monsters on the movie screen. The alien did not understand why only a few are educated while the majority of the population does not advance, which keeps our planet at a slow growth rate when it comes to science or advancement. The old man knew his captor thought of us as very primitive and ignorant.
I know we think we are superior beings as we walk upon the earth with smartphones and techie gadgets hanging from our belts. The fact is that only a few of us invent anything to build and advance the planet. This seems is confusing to a being who obviously comes from a civilization far different and far more advanced than ours,
Obviously, where they come from everyone is educated and advances. Sad for the human race that we do not do the same.
The last questions the man was asked were very interesting to me and ones that really spoke to the fact that we are as strange to them as they are to us.
The alien asked the man why only two or even one human raise the children. He was shown a single mother and a family with four or five children sitting on a couch with their mother and father. The being that had abducted the old man wanted to know why only one or two adults raise the children.?
Obviously, the alien does not come from a male /female type of union like we do on earth, nor did he seem to understand the family unit as we know it. His confusion on this makes me believe his civilization does not form family units and must raise their young in groups with many adults involved in the care of their young,
The last question really gave me an idea of how our visitors view the human species. The alien asked the older man:
“Why we are self-killing?”
At first, the man thought he was asking about war, which we have as an ongoing constant on this planet. The alien stopped this thought in the man's head quickly and was able to communicate that they already knew we were an extremely violent species. The alien kept repeating “self-killing” …”self-killing.”
The abductee was then shown images of very overweight people eating large plates of food and a man smoking who was nearly invisible under a thick layer of smoke, as well as what looked like homeless people laying on a city street. He was also shown images that he did not understand, but he got the message:
“Why did humans not take care of their human bodies?”
The older abductee told me that he tried to answer the questions to the best of his ability, but could tell his captor remained “confused,” and did not seem to understand what he was trying to convey to him.
The abductee mentioned a few times while telling me about this event that the alien completely lacked any signs of emotion or understanding emotion. He recoiled if the man cried or yelled, or if his fear got the better of him and he shook his fist in anger, or begged to be let go. The man told me that emotion seemed to confuse or even frighten and back off his captors.
I believe this lack of emotion on the alien's part is why the two sisters were able to escape, as well as other people, who also displayed outbreaks of emotion that forced their captors to backed off using the element of surprise by displaying something the aliens simply do not understand.
I was happy to answer these questions in this last article about the Real Time Abductees, but realize that the overall interest in the “reality” of the subject of real time abductions does not exist in the public mind, or considered much within the paranormal community. If it did, I am sure we would have had over the years of sharing the real time abductees experiences more then the handful of questions that I have answered in this article.
This will be the last article I write on abduction as I have other areas of the unknown that I want to explore, and I will be giving my time to that.
If I find things I think my readers will be interested in, I will continue to share them on my blog. For now remain aware of your surroundings as one day you may find you are the one, standing alone, in the dead of night and find you are face to face with a cold and emotionless strange being with a great curiosity as to who or what you are.
Footage has surfaced of three UFO ships hovering over Area 51. Where else would UFOs hang out? The federal government and military remain silent. Could it simply be specialized aircraft the military has been secretly testing? “Dreamland,” the special code word for the infamous Area 51 has been a hotbed for innovative air and space technology. It is kind of like the government version of Google or SpaceX. Are the three UFO ships real? And why daylight? Traditionally, aliens prefer night flying, so we think.
Government and Military Foul Up
The footage of three UFO ships hovering over Area 51 could have been a government and military mistake. Section51 posted the UFO video recorded this month on YouTube. They are narrow. Designed like inverted raindrops with lights. In the video, one is clearly visible. While the other two are faded in the background. If this were a secret military flight test, wouldn’t it be under the cover of darkness? That always seems to be the protocol for UFO sightings as well. There have been no official reports by government officials over the video. And you probably shouldn’t expect one.
Why is Area 51 Still UFO Attractive?
Is there some type of alien beacon that draws in extraterrestrial spaceships? Since 1955, Area 51 has been the home to alien inspired cover-ups and conspiracy theories. The top-secret base is six miles wide and ten miles long. With a recently acquired 85,000 acres surrounding it courtesy of government seizure. Like Las Vegas, which is close to the base. What happens at Area 51 stays at Area 51. And if you attempt to get close, you will be most likely shot by private military contractors with a green light to kill. There are also rumors of underground structures, labs and experimental equipment dug deep into the earth. Sounds like an episode of Lost. Some of the military’s most advanced aircrafts have been birthed from Area 51. Making its existence even more confusing. Aliens or war machines?
Alien Tech for Mars Missions
Is Area 51 testing a mission ready spacecraft for an upcoming Mars mission? It would be the logical place for the government and military to design, produce and test such space age stuff. If all the alien rumors are true, than there are plenty of used UFO parts that can be useful at Area 51. Since it is sort of like a junkyard “U Pull It” for UFOs. The three UFO ships on the recently released video may be tests for a future Mars mission. NASA has already said that they will be using real time analytical systems for the 2020 mission to the Red Planet. Where they will focus on finding evidence of an ancient Martian civilization.
AUGUST 22, 1999 ………..PETAWAWA ARMY BASE ONTARIO CANADA
I was training in Petawawa (Army base) Canada. I was a corporal military police. I was laying prone in my shell scrape covering my arcs of fire. It was approx. 1-3 am overcast in the woods. It was so dark I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face. I saw a red light entering my ark coming from my right traveling to my left. At about my 11-12 o’clock position it changed course and floated straight towards me. It was a red floating orb semi transparent that emited little light. I craweled towards it and tried to touch it with my hands. The red floating semi transparent orb that emited little light backed away out of arms reach. It floated up and down slowly as if it was checking me out. I pulled back my arms and rested them under my chest. I stretched my head as forward as it would go.
Still in prone position, I kept my eyes as wide open as I could. I watched this floating red orb semi transparent that emits little light move in closer to my face. It was hovering in front of my nose. Millimetres in front of my nose. I was studying it and I think it was studying me. It was a floating red orb semi transparent that emited little light it was millimetres from my nose. I think it touched me. Next thing I remember it was day light. I wandered into the centre of camp. Two others said they saw a UFO.
The commanding officer said it was a helicopter forget about it. I don’t know what they saw but I know what I saw. A floating red orb semi transparent that barely emited light. This was the first time contact was made. For the record I didn’t fall asleep and imagine or dream this. At the time I thought it was some sort of test or secret weapon. Time was lost.
