Steelers vs. Cowboys: The Uncovered Mystery
Steelers vs. Cowboys: The Uncovered Mystery
The Cowboys–Steelers is the NFL rivalry. The Dallas Cowboys are an American football team in the Dallas–Fort Worth. The team is a member of the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference in the National Football League. Headquartered in Valley Ranch in Texas, they will move to Frisco in 2016. The Pittsburgh Steelers are another American professional football team in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Currently, the team belongs to the North Division of the American Football Conference in the National Football League. The Steelers, founded in 1933, are the oldest AFC franchise. The Steelers have stayed competitive ever since and won two more Super Bowls but lose one. Since Super Bowl XXX, the Cowboys were not back to the Super Bowl and had won three playoff games from 1996 onwards.
While the Cowboys and Steelers provided a lot of memorable plays on the field throughout their matchups that took place in 1970, something that happened in the sky took up all the headlines in 1979. On October 28, 1979, the Steelers has defeated the Cowboys in the 9th week of the regular season, which is 14-3. In Super Bowl XIII, another rematch took place. Franco Harris rumbled 102 yards, at the same time, two touchdowns included a 48-yard run that put the game on the ice. However, late in the game, there is an odd object that grabbed the attention away from the field. While no one has ever figured what they were, Thomas White, the Duquesne University archivist, said that the extraterrestrials were kites that bear a resemblance of UFOs. Back in 2011, the odd object appears similarly like two kites that were connected and was moving in the breeze of the wind. He added that he saw the same footage of the kites before. Though the case has not been concluded, it was still one of the strangest moments in the NFL history, which is another interesting experience of Steelers-Cowboys rivalry.
Regardless of whether we have been visited or merely detected, the approach of UFOs was seen as illogical. They were always the subject to the controversy because their existence is debatable. When a person claimed to spot a flying object that is not readily identifiable, they usually connect it to extraterrestrial beings, but at the end of the day, no explicit photos were captured, or videos of the encounter that took place. However, a genuine encounter with a person that doesn’t believe in aliens at all is worth to listen. In the case of Jose Alves, who lives in Brazil, he was fishing near Pontal on November 4, 1954. The night is quiet; the area was deserted, and there’s only a very slight breeze from the east blowing continuously.
Suddenly, he spotted a bizarre vessel hovering in the sky heading towards him. As it moved, he transfixed and watched it carefully. When it landed on a wobbling motion, it was so near to him that he could touch it. The object he saw bears a resemblance of two washbowls that is being placed together that is about ten to fifteen feet in diameter. Because he was frightened, he could not run. Inside the craft, the three little men with close-fitting skull caps in white clothing appeared from a window-like hole. He does not know who these creatures are, but he is confident that they look like a humanoid with dark skin. Alves watched the small creatures collecting samples of herbs, grass, and leaves of trees. They also included filling the shiny metal tube with water from the river. Once they went back to the vessel, they disappeared swiftly and silently.
Alves is a man of few words. He is dedicated to his family. He does not know anything about extraterrestrial beings. As soon as he arrived in his hometown, he shared the story with the residents of Pontal. He had never heard of flying vessels, but he was confident that what he saw bears a resemblance of the little devils.

IN BRIEF
Astronomers from the University of Texas have pinpointed the location of a possible Earth-like planet not far from here. It has two identified exoplanets, and a possible third one may be a little like our own.
“WE FOUND ANOTHER ONE”
There are many reasons to explore the cosmos; however, one of the most intriguing reasons is to find another planet with life. We send out probes and we look towards the sky with our telescopes and radar dishes, all in the hope of finding another Earth. We have discovered many planets to date that seem to be rather Earth-like, and we are finding more.
Case in point, astronomers from the University of Texas have pinpointed the location of a possible Earth-like planet not far from here. Of course, it could also be rather unEarth-like. Hopefully, additional research will give us a definitive answer soon.
Gliese 832 is a red dwarf sun half the mass and radius of our own star. It is 16 light-years away from our solar system, and it has two identified exoplanets…and a possible third just cropped up.
The paper discussing the finding, published in arXiv, says that the potential Earth-like planet may exist between the two exoplanets, Gliese 832B and Gliese 832C.
Gliese 832B is a gas giant that is 0.64 the mass of Jupiter, and it orbits its star at 3.5 AU. The other planet, Gliese 832C, is a rocky world about 5 times as massive as Earth, and it orbits the star at a very close 0.16 AU. Both cannot harbor life as we know it, as 832B is a gas giant and 832C is too close to the star.
BASED ON A HUNCH
The already discovered planets were seen because of the radial velocity technique, which measures the gravitational effect of the planets on the star. The astronomers had a hunch that another planet may exist between the vast distance of 832B and 832C. They reexamined the data, and concluded that another planet may exist between them.
The newly discovered planet is still hypothetical at this point, and the researchers put its mass at between 1 and 15 Earth masses (yeah kind of a big margin there), and its orbit is between 0.25 to 2.0 AU from Gliese 382 (1 AU is roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun).
Conclusions such as these are not made definitively, but only so that planet hunters and telescopes such as Kepler know specifically where to look.

Cosmic rays reaching Earth are created and accelerated by similar explosions. (Photo: Gemini South Telescope in Chile; composite by Travis Rector of the University of Alaska Anchorage)
Most of the cosmic rays arriving at Earth from our galaxy come from nearby clusters of massive stars, according to new observations from the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS), an instrument aboard NASA’s Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft.

The distance between the galactic cosmic rays’ point of origin and Earth is limited by the survival of a very rare type of cosmic ray that acts like a tiny clock. The cosmic ray is a radioactive isotope of iron, 60Fe, which has a half life of 2.6 million years. In that time, half of these iron nuclei decay into other elements.
In the 17 years CRIS has been in space, it detected about 300,000 galactic cosmic-ray nuclei of ordinary iron, but just 15 of the radioactive 60Fe .
“Our detection of radioactive cosmic-ray iron nuclei is a smoking gun indicating that there has been a supernova in the last few million years in our neighborhood of the galaxy,” said Robert Binns, research professor of physics in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, and lead author on the paper published online in Science April 21.
“The new data also show the source of galactic cosmic rays is nearby clusters of massive stars, where supernova explosions occur every few million years,” said Martin Israel, professor of physics at Washington University and a co-author on the paper.
The radioactive iron is believed to be produced in core-collapse supernovae, violent explosions that mark the death of massive stars, which occur primarily in clusters of massive stars called OB associations.
There are more than 20 such associations close enough to Earth to be the source of the cosmic rays, including subgroups of the nearby Scorpius and Centaurus constellations, such as Upper Scorpius (83 stars), Upper Centaurus Lupus (134 stars) and Lower Centaurus Crux (97 stars). Because of their size and proximity, these are the likely sources of the radioactive iron nuclei CRIS detected, the scientists said.
An incriminating timeline
The 60Fe results add to a growing body of evidence that galactic cosmic rays are created and accelerated in OB associations.
This time lag also means that the nuclei synthesized in a supernova are not accelerated by that supernova, but by the shock wave from a second nearby supernova, Israel said, one that occurs quickly enough that a substantial fraction of the 60Fe from the first supernova has not yet decayed.
Together, these time constraints mean the second supernova must occur between 100,000 and a few million years after the first supernova. Clusters of massive stars are one of the few places in the universe where supernovae occur often enough, and close enough together, to bring this off.
“So our observation of 60Fe lends support to the emerging model of cosmic-ray origin in OB associations,” Israel said.
Corroborating evidence?
Although the supernovae in a nearby OB association that created the 60Fe CRIS observed happened long before people were around to observe suddenly brightening stars (novae), they also may have left traces in Earth’s oceans and on the moon.
Several impressive photos of alleged UFOs over the arctic captured on camera by the Navy in 1971 have been leaked to UFO researchers, and their discovery has been getting worldwide media attention.
UFO researcher Alex Mistretta claims that the images were originally given to him by an anonymous source in Europe. Later, he discovered that they were also published in a French paranormal magazine called Top Secret.
Two of the images from the French magazine Top Secret. The caption reads: “(Top) On this photo, we identify without a doubt a triangular-shaped UFO. It seems to be in trouble. (Bottom) If the order that we have chosen for these pictures is correct, the UFO here seems to now go sideways before plunging into the ocean…” (Credit: Top Secret/TheBlackVault.com)
To further investigate, Mistretta enlisted the help of John Greenewald, who runs the websiteTheBlackVault.com. He asked Greenewald to post the pictures in hopes that Greenewald and others may be able to find out more about the images.
After posting the story last week, it began getting international headlines. A Reddit user that goes by the name SqizCat was also able to find higher resolution copies of the images.
The images are fantastic. They seem to be of large objects aloft over the ocean, some, if not all, taken from the periscope of a submarine. The big question is are they real, and if so, what are they?

In his email to The Black Vault, Mistretta listed what his anonymous source told him.
The photos were taken from a United State Navy submarine.
The location was between Iceland and Jan Mayen island in the Atlantic Ocean. (Jan Mayen belongs to Norway, and is only inhabited by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the Norwegian military.)
They were taken in March of 1971.
The Submarine was the Navy’s USS Trepang (SSN 674) and the Admiral on board was Dean Reynolds Sackett. Obviously, the next step is to try and locate this Admiral Dean Reynolds, if he exists.
The Submarine came upon the object by “accident,” as they were in the region on a routine joint military and scientific expedition. Officer John Klika was the one who initially spotted the object with the periscope.
Greenewald looked into these claims and he says that he found that Admiral Sackett was onboard the USS Trepang at the time listed. He also found that Officer Kilka was also aboard. Further, he found that the USS Trepang was in the area the source claimed at the time the pictures were allegedly taken.

Mistretta wrote: “[Kilka] found the investigation interesting reading, and doesn’t know what the pictures represent. I believe them. I feel confident in saying the Trepang was not involved in the taking of the photographs.”
Although Mistretta now believes his source’s information to be inaccurate, Greenewald found clues that indicate the images may still be real, albeit not extraterrestrial.
Greenewald says, “When I first saw these, I noted there was something very Zeppelin-like about some of the photos, but, unlike the actual Zeppelin’s, it did not have a carrier for the occupants.”
By researching the USS Trepang’s whereabouts, he also found this on the site Hullnumber.com: “From 22 February to 22 March [1971], the nuclear attack submarine operated beneath the northern ice cap, conducting extensive tests to provide data for her weapons systems, as well as carrying out scientific experiments concerning the movement, composition, and geological history of the cap itself.”
This lead him to research test balloons. He searched the Library of Congress and found images of test balloons that look very similar to what is in some of the images.

Greenewald’s discovery makes it possible, if not likely, that the images are from test balloons being fired upon by Navy submarines. The images he found were from the early 1900s, so the question remains as to whether similar balloons were still being used in the 70s, or are the images colorized version of much older pictures. Given the misinformation that accompanied the images in the first place, it is also possible they are Photoshopped hoaxes.
Although the media has picked up on the story, few, if any, have mentioned the investigation work done by Mistretta, Greenewald, and Murillo. By leaving out this part of the story, they leave out the fact that many UFO researchers are more than just wild-eyed believers, as the media often portrays. Some are actually doing all they can to look for the truth.
Murillo’s UPARS organization will be hosting Mistretta to discuss this case on July 21, 2015 in Los Angeles. You can find more information on the UPARS Meetup site.
Nasa beefs up its team of ‘alien hunters’ – and says we may be on the verge of finding extraterrestrial life.
The Nexss team, includes those who study Earth as a life-bearing planet (lower right), those researching the diversity of solar system planets (left), and those on the new frontier, discovering worlds orbiting other stars in the galaxy (upper right)
Nasa beefs up its team of ‘alien hunters’ – and says we may be on the verge of finding extraterrestrial life.
Nasa claims we’ll find aliens in the next 10 to 20 years – and now the agency is revving up its efforts to track them down.
The group has put together a team of ‘extraterrestrial experts’ to see if any of the planets discovered outside our solar system are habitable.
And it says that the amateur astronomers could help with its ‘unprecedented’ search for ET by access research data online.
The initiative, dubbed Nexus for Exoplanet System Science (Nexss), will include scientists from 10 universities including Stanford, the University of California and Yale.
The study of exoplanets is a relatively new field with discovery of the first exoplanet around a star like our sun was made in 1995.
Since the launch of the Kepler space telescope six years ago, more than 1,000 exoplanets have been found, with thousands of additional candidates waiting to be confirmed.
Nasa has set up a website for the public called Planet Hunters which allows anyone to search the data gathered by Kepler, since launching six years ago.
Scientists are also developing new ways to confirm the habitability of these worlds and search for biosignatures, or signs of life.
By applying a ‘system science’ approach, the team hopes to understand on an alien planet’s biology interacts with the atmosphere, geology, oceans, and interior of a planet.
The announcement comes just weeks after Nasa’s top scientist predicted we could be on the verge of finding life on one of them.
During a talk in Washington last month, the space agency announced that humanity is likely to encounter extra-terrestrials within a decade.
THE NEXSS TEAM OF ‘ALIEN HUNTERS’: WHAT WILL THEY DO?
Alien hunters from the University of Berkeley, California and Stanford are tasked with answering the question: ‘What are the properties of exoplanetary systems, as they relate to their formation, evolution, and potential to harbour life?’ They will combine astronomical observations of exoplanets and forming planetary systems with powerful computer simulations and cutting-edge microscopic studies of meteorites. The team from Arizona State University in Phoenix will take a similar approach. This research group will place planetary habitability in a chemical context, with the goal of producing a ‘periodic table of planets.’ Researchers from Hampton University, Virginia, will be exploring the sources and sinks for volatiles on habitable worlds. This research will help determine the past and present habitability of Mars and even Venus. The team centered at Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies will investigate habitability on a more local scale. It will examine the habitability of solar system rocky planets through time. The team from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, will design new spectrometers – optical instruments that measure the spectrum of light – with the stability to reach Earth-detecting precision for nearby stars. A group led the University of Nebraska-Kearney will explore the existence and evolution of exospheres around exoplanets, the outer, ‘unbound’ portion of a planet’s atmosphere. From the University of California, Santa Cruz, a group will investigate how novel maths equations can be used to extract information from light that is emitted and reflected by planetary atmospheres.
‘I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years,’ Ellen Stofan, chief scientist for Nasa, said.
‘We know where to look, we know how to look, and in most cases we have the technology.’
Jeffery Newmark, interim director of heliophysics at the agency, added: ‘It’s definitely not an if, it’s a when.’
‘We are not talking about little green men,’ Stofan said. ‘We are talking about little microbes.’
The announcement was prompted by the recent discovery of water by Nasa in surprising places.
Jim Green, director of planetary science at Nasa, noted that a recent study of the Martian atmosphere found 50 per cent of the planet’s northern hemisphere once had oceans a mile deep.
Signs of Alien Life Will Be Found by 2025, Chief Scientist Predicts
The same study found that water had been present on the red planet for up to 1.2 billion year.
‘We think that long period of time is necessary for life to get more complex,’ Stofan said.
Nasa associate administrator John Grunsfeld said he is excited about seeing what form life beyond Earth may take.
‘Once we get beyond Mars, which formed from the same stuff as Earth, the likelihood that life is similar to what we find on this planet is very low,’ he said.
‘I think we’re one generation away in our solar system, whether it’s on an icy moon or on Mars, and one generation [away] on a planet around a nearby star.
At the same conference last year, Nasa Administrator Charles Bolden made a more conservative estimate.
He claimed that we will find life within the next 20 years – with a high chance it will be outside our solar system.
Nasa next Mars rover, scheduled to launch in 2020, will search for signs of past life and bring samples for a possible return to Earth for analysis.
Nasa also hopes to land astronauts on Mars in the 2030s, which Stofan says is crucial key to the search for Mars life.
‘I’m a field geologist; I go out and break open rocks and look for fossils,’ Stofan said. ‘Those are hard to find.
‘So I have a bias that it’s eventually going to take humans on the surface of Mars — field geologists, astrobiologists, chemists — actually out there looking for that good evidence of life that we can bring back to Earth for all the scientists to argue about.’
The space agency is also planning a mission to Europa, which may launch as early as 2022. It hopes to find out whether the icy moon is habitable.
Meanwhile, the agency’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), will launch in 2018 to scope out the atmospheres of nearby ‘super-Earth’ alien planets.
The Ministry of Defence had agreed to publish its full archive of reported sightings in respo
Details were blanked out for a number of reasons
nse to a deluge of Freedom of Information Act requests.
But the once-secret memo, published on its website, reveals “uncomplimentary comments” were edited out.
Comments on international relations and defence technology were also deleted.
Thousands of pages from the department’s UFO files have been released through the National Archives since 2008, revealing details of reported flying objects and encounters with aliens.
The newly released memo to ministers and defence chiefs, dated September 2007, discusses how to make the largely “low security classification” information public.
The files are considerably less exciting than the ‘industry’ surrounding the UFO phenomena would like to believe
MoD memo
It notes they “include references to air defence matters, defence technology, relations with foreign powers and occasional uncomplimentary comments by staff or police officers about members of the public, which will need to be withheld in accordance with FoI principles.”
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) recorded UFO sightings from the end of the Second World War until it shut its special investigation unit on 1 December last year.
Officials feared publishing only part of the information would “fuel accusations of a ‘cover-up’,” the document reveals.
“Contrary to what many members of the public may believe, MoD has no interest in the subject of extraterrestrial life forms visiting the UK, only in ensuring the integrity and security of UK airspace,” it says.
“The MoD is aware of no clear evidence to prove or disprove the existence of aliens, and consequently the files are considerably less exciting than the ‘industry’ surrounding the UFO phenomena would like to believe.”
The fifth instalment of MoD UFO files was released last week, revealing reports of a large triangular UFO hovering in the skies above former home secretary Michael Howard’s home near Folkestone, Kent, in March 1997.
Mars Tourists Will Be Just as Annoying as Regular Tourists
Mars Tourists Will Be Just as Annoying as Regular Tourists
Visiting Mars might sound like science fiction, but plenty of dreamers think it might soon be possible. SpaceX and Mars One have promised to colonize Earth’s nearest neighbor within decades, and the cold, red planet eventually could become an epic tourist destination.
Julien Mauve envisions what this might look like in his playful series Greetings from Mars. Such a future is all too predictable: seemingly self-absorbed people in space suits roam the awe-inspiring terrain armed with smartphones, cameras and selfie-sticks. Like dogs marking their territory, the earthlings seem more interested in documenting their presence than contemplating the jaw-dropping vistas. “These are all tourist habits that have developed with photography,” Mauve says. “I assume we’ll act the same on another planet.”
Mauve shot the images in April during an eight-day, 4,000-mile road trip during which he meandered from California to Utah. The otherworldly scenery provided a close approximation of the Martian terrain revealed by theCuriosity rover (which explains why movies like John Carterhave been filmed there). He rented replicas of the ESP-A7L space suits worn on the Apollo missions from an LA production company. “They wouldn’t be the suits you’d use for a Mars mission, but my goal was more to get close to the cliché we have in mind when we think of an astronaut,” he says.
Do we travel to discover new places and cultures, or do we travel to take pictures of ourselves and prove that we exist?
He and a friend donned the suits to cavort in the desert like any selfie-sticking oblivious tourists would. Sometimes Mauve triggered the shutter with his phone; other times he set a 10-second timer and ran into the frame. He used Photoshop to remove plants, trees, and other signs of life, then tweaked their colors to conjure the Red Planet’s famously rusty, sulphuric hue.
His photographs are eerily cinematic, and, like the movies, weirdly convincing. Even when the landscapes are recognizably terrestrial—the Grand Canyon or Death Valley, for example—they serve as a reminder that the West once seemed as alien as Mars does today. National parks and photo-op hotspots still draw hordes of shutterbugs eager to prove “I was here.” Mauve doesn’t see any reason why the same thing wouldn’t happen in space, should tourists ever get there.
“The fact that we may witness it in our lifetime, just as our parents and grandparents [witnessed the moon landing] in the ’60s, makes it even more exciting,” he says. “The Internet nearly broke when Felix Baumgartner jumped from the stratosphere, so just imagine what will happen the day we step foot on Mars.”
Despite his optimism about space travel, Mauve’s images ultimately are a parody of how snapping and sharing a photo has become the culmination of every exploratory experience. Travelers don’t even have to wait to get home and have their film developed at the local Walgreens; they can shoot and post a photo within seconds. “There is no being far away anymore,” he says. “So we might ask ourselves: Do we travel to discover new places and cultures, or do we travel to take pictures of ourselves and prove that we exist?”
A WOMAN who claims to have been abducted by aliens more than 20 years ago has visited Torquay to speak to resident UFO expert and author Roy Dutton about her experiences.
Roy, who lives in Torquay and is a retired aerospace engineer, has spent over 50 years studying UFO sightings all over the world.
He is now highly regarded as a UFO expert with a published book and DVD series already under his belt.
'Abductee' Valerie Walters first met Roy in 1990 and the pair have recently met up again to discuss Valerie's experiences for a new book Roy is working on.
The pair first met at a hypnosis session organised to unlock memories about Valerie's extraterrestrial experience.
It was around 1.45am on July 16, 1981, when 26-year-old Valerie and her two friends, Rosemary and Vivienn, were driving home from a night out in Sheffield.
The three friends all saw a strange light in the sky which led to a terrifying experience they will never forget.
Valerie said: "We saw a craft in the sky, it was about 30ft in diameter and hovered directly above the car.
"I was in the back, I didn't remember much at the time — none of us did, things started to come back after the hypnosis.
"I remembered hearing a beeping noise and I started to feel quite drowsy.
"Me and Rosemary saw the craft hovering over the field next to us. I can remember seeing windows and a dome, it had a rim on it. But Rosemary couldn't remember what it looked like."
The three women didn't remember anything else at the time, but 'had lost over half-an-hour' by the time they got home and rushed to their local police station to tell them about their sighting.
"Initially we didn't know anything, we thought it was just a sighting," said Valerie.
"We went to the police to tell them and we heard them laughing in the back."
Valerie added: "I was out of the car looking for the others, then the car was gone.
"I felt something behind me, like I was being picked up by my \\\voice said, 'don't be afraid'.
"Then I felt like I was in a vacuum everything went red in my head — I will never forget that feeling.
"I was in a white wedge shaped room with two humanoid beings, a male and a female both with shoulder length dark hair and hypnotic blue eyes," said Valerie.
"I remembe\\\\\r the beings trying to communicate with me telepathically. They were especially interested in my clothes.
"You'll laugh but the female gestured to try on my shoes, I laughed. I remember laughing at the time. But afterwards, philosophically I wondered whether it was trying to communicate that it wanted to see what it felt like to walk in my shoes."
The women's encounters are detailed in Roy's first book, including a copy of a 'star map' drawn by Valerie.
Roy is now working on a second book, and has met up with Valerie again 20 years later to further discuss her experience.
He said: "I believe they are possibly from a parallel universe, to me that seems to be the most reasonable explanation.
"There have been so many sightings which detail the use of technology which is way beyond our understanding.
"Given my background as an aerospace engineer, I know what is possible in human technology, that is why I got involved."

The TR-3B is Code named Astra. The tactical reconnaissance TR-3B first operational flight was in the early 90s. The triangular shaped nuclear powered aerospace platform was developed under the Top Secret, Aurora Program with SDI and black budget monies. At least 3 of the billion dollar plus TR-3Bs were flying by 1994. The Aurora is the most classified aerospace development program in existence. The TR-3B is the most exotic vehicle created by the Aurora Program. It is funded and operationally tasked by the National Reconnaissance Office, the NSA, and the CIA. The TR-3B flying triangle is not fiction and was built with technology available in the mid 80s. Not every UFO spotted is one of theirs.
The TR-3B vehicles outer coating is reactive to electrical Radar stimulation and can change reflectiveness, radar absorptiveness, and color. This polymer skin, when used in conjunction with the TR-3Bs Electronic Counter Measures and, ECCM, can make the vehicle look like a small aircraft, or a flying cylinder–or even trick radar receivers into falsely detecting a variety of aircraft, no aircraft, or several aircraft at various locations. A circular, plasma filled accelerator ring called the Magnetic Field Disrupter, surrounds the rotatable crew compartment and is far ahead of any imaginable technology.
Sandia and Livermore laboratories developed the reverse engineered MFD technology. The government will go to any lengths to protect this technology. The plasma, mercury based, is pressurized at 250,000 atmospheres at a temperature of 150 degrees Kelvin and accelerated to 50,000 rpm to create a super-conductive plasma with the resulting gravity disruption. The MFD generates a magnetic vortex field, which disrupts or neutralizes the effects of gravity on mass within proximity, by 89 percent. Do not misunderstand. This is not antigravity. Anti-gravity provides a repulsive force that can be used for propulsion. The MFD creates a disruption of the Earth’s gravitational field upon the mass within the circular accelerator. The mass of the circular accelerator and all mass within the accelerator, such as the crew capsule, avionics, MFD systems, fuels, crew environmental systems, and the nuclear reactor, are reduced by 89%. This causes the effect of making the vehicle extremely light and able to outperform and outmaneuver any craft yet constructed–except, of course, those UFOs we did not build.
The TR-3B is a high altitude, stealth, reconnaissance platform with an indefinite loiter time. Once you get it up there at speed, it doesnt take much propulsion to maintain altitude. At Groom Lake their have been whispered rumours of a new element that acts as a catalyst to the plasma. With the vehicle mass reduced by 89%, the craft can travel at Mach 9, vertically or horizontally. My sources say the performance is limited only the stresses that the human pilots can endure. Which is a lot, really, considering along with the 89% reduction in mass, the G forces are also reduced by 89%.
The TR-3Bs propulsion is provided by 3 multimode thrusters mounted at each bottom corner of the triangular platform. The TR-3 is a sub-Mach 9 vehicle until it reaches altitudes above l20,000 feet–then God knows how fast it can go! The 3 multimode rocket engines mounted under each corner of the craft use hydrogen or methane and oxygen as a propellent. In a liquid oxygen/hydrogen rocket system, 85% of the propellent mass is oxygen. The nuclear thermal rocket engine uses a hydrogen propellent, augmented with oxygen for additional thrust. The reactor heats the liquid hydrogen and injects liquid oxygen in the supersonic nozzle, so that the hydrogen burns concurrently in the liquid oxygen afterburner. The multimode propulsion system can; operate in the atmosphere, with thrust provided by the nuclear reactor, in the upper atmosphere, with hydrogen propulsion, and in orbit, with the combined hydrogen oxygen propulsion.
What you have to remember is, that the 3 rocket engines only have to propel 11 percent of the mass of the Top Secret TR-3B. The engines are reportedly built by Rockwell. Many sightings of triangular UFOs are not alien vehicles but the top secret TR-3B. The NSA, NRO, CIA, and USAF have been playing a shell game with aircraft nomenclature – creating the TR-3, modified to the TR-3A, the TR-3B, and the Teir 2, 3, and 4, with suffixes like Plus or Minus added on to confuse further the fact that each of these designators is a different aircraft and not the same aerospace vehicle. A TR-3B is as different from a TR-3A as a banana is from a grape. Some of these vehicles are manned and others are unmanned.
It all become apparent in Belgium where, after frequent sightings of flying lights and a mid-air near-miss by UFO, at one point Belgian Air Force, anxious to identify the origin of the phenomena, authorized F16 scrambles under condition that the visual observations on the ground were confirmed by the local police and detection on the radar.
One of the consequences of such decision was that, on 31 March 1990 at 00:05 hr, two F16 were scrambled from Beauvechain airbase and guided towards the radar contacts.
A total of 9 interception attempts have been made that night. At six occasions the pilots established a lock-on with their air interception radar. Lock-on distances varied between 5 and 8 NM. On all occasions targets varied speed and altitude very quickly and break-locks occurred after 10 to 60 seconds. Speeds varied between 150 and 1010 knots. At three occasions both F16 registered simultaneous lock-ons with the same parameters. The two F16 were flying approximately 2 NM apart. Owing to the night conditions, no visual contact could be established by either of the F16 pilots.
An Ancient Egyptian necklace of Extraterrestrial origin
An Ancient Egyptian necklace of Extraterrestrial origin
The study obtained incredible results not only because of the origin of the mysterious minerals but because the ancient necklace was manufactured in 3200 B.C.
In 1911, during the excavation of the graves of Naqada, north of Egypt, archaeologists came across what appeared to be a necklace made of iron inlaid with gold and precious stones, but they couldn’t be more wrong.
More than a century later, a study conducted by Egyptologist Thilo Rehren of the University of Hamad bin Khalifa showed that the precious ancient treasure, currently in possession of the Petrie Museum in London, is actually made of meteoric iron. X-ray analysis determined that the necklace was made from thin sheets of iron from a meteorite, molded with a hammer and rolled in the form of beads.
Researchers discovered that the nickel content of this original metal was extremely high, indicating that it originated from a meteorite, and not from Earth minerals as first believed. During the study, scientists identified a distinctive crystalline structure called a Widmanstätten pattern. Scientists say that this structure can only be found in iron meteorites that cooled extremely slow inside their asteroids during the formation of our solar system.
Professor Thilo Rehren, lead author of the Journal of Archaeological Science study said: „The beads were created by ‘multiple cycles of hammering’ and not by the traditional carving or drilling stone techniques that were used on other beads found in the same tomb.“
The study obtained incredible results not only because of the origin of the mysterious minerals but because the ancient necklace was manufactured in 3200 B.C., almost two thousand years before the iron casting technique was developed, proving one more time that the Ancient Egyptian civilization was extremely advanced having developed techniques that were reinvented by ‘modern’ society thousands of years later.
Scientists from the University College London’s Petrie Museum conducted several tests of beads and necklaces, pictured in the image. They used gamma ray scans to demonstrate that the beads, which were originally believed to be made from simple iron, were in fact created using fragments of meteorites thousands of years ago
In an interview with Culture24, Professor Rehren said: ‘The really exciting outcome of this research is that we were for the first time able to demonstrate conclusively that there are typical trace elements such as cobalt and germanium present in these beads, at levels that only occur in meteoritic iron.’
The study allowed researchers to understand for the first time ever, the internal structure of the beads revealing how they were created, showing an extremely advanced knowledge and skill of metal work.
A gift from the ‘Gods’
‘The sky was very important to the ancient Egyptians,’ said Joyce Tyldesley, an Egyptologist at the University of Manchester, UK, and a co-author of the paper on the discovery.
‘Something that falls from the sky is going to be considered as a gift from the gods.’
Dr. Tyldesley added: ‘Today, we see iron first and foremost as a practical, rather dull metal. To the ancient Egyptians, however, it was a rare and beautiful material which, as it fell from the sky, surely had some magical/religious properties.
The Colares Incident: Hostile UFOs Kill Two People, Victimize Dozens
The Colares Incident: Hostile UFOs Kill Two People, Victimize Dozens
One of the most intriguing UFO investigation to date happened in northeast Brazil. In November 1977, a military squad commanded by Captain Uyrange Hollanda came to support the Island of Colares, and the residents of a small fishing village from the Amazon delta, in the vicinity of the Atlantic coast. Reports of unidentified flying object as well as submersible devices have caught the attention of the military who wanted to see if the stories had indeed an extraterrestrial origin.
The mission was entitled Operacao Prato, or Operation Plate, and its first objective was to study the bizarre luminous sightings, as well as helping the villagers who reported being attacked by mysterious beams of light on several occasions.
It all seemed to have a rational explanation until Captain Hollanda and his crew encountered a UFO that lit up right above them. The object had the shape of a disk and made bizarre noise similar to “an air conditioner, or like a bicycle sprocket when you pedal backwards.” During the time the object was hovering, it emitted a yellow glow five times before turning blue and dashing towards the sea.
The report was quickly forwarded to the base commander in Belem, and soon after, Hollande was made leader of one of the biggest UFO investigations in written history. He returned with a team of specialists and photographers who then interviewed more than 300 people, including the fishermen who reported seeing strange blue lights below the watery surface and UFOs that had the ability to submerge, but also fly.
The location proved to be a hotbed for UFOs after all, as more than a hundred photos in full spectrum of various UFOs were shot. The mysterious objects appeared in different shapes and sizes: pyramids, discs, cylinders, and even a 100-meter-long (330 ft) “mother ship” that strongly resembled an oil barrel.
Because most of the victims ended up paralyzed after encountering these otherworldly devices, the locals dubbed them “chupa-chupas,” because it drained the energy of the body, similar to how mosquitos sucked the blood of their victims. However, these UFOs used a ray of green light to stun their victims before burning them with a flash of red light that left visible marks on the skin.
Hollanda concluded that the UFOs were taking blood samples, but the action wasn’t harmful as you would expect, since two people were found dead after the encounter, and thirty-five of them were badly hurt. Because of this, entire villages were evacuated by the locals who were afraid for their lives.
A full report of the investigation reached Brasilia, and Operation Plate was classified. The people involved were ordered to keep their mouth shut and to forget what they have seen in the Amazonian village.
In 1997, Colonel Hollanda decided to break the silence in an interview for a UFO magazine that found out about the operation:
UFO Magazine – If you have created a file, then it tells us that there has already been some progresses in the investigation?
Hollanda – Yes, when I arrived from Brasilia I already had agents who had being sent to investigate occurrences of UFOS, because this thing was already happening so often in the area of Colares, which is a belonging to the city of Vigia, on the coast of Pará.
The mayor of the city sent an officer to the commander of COMAR to inform him that the UFOs were bothering the fishing very much. Some of them could not exert the fishing activity anymore, because the objects navigated under their boats. At times, some objects even dived near them, in the rivers and in the sea. The local population spent the night outside. The people set up fires and used firecrackers to try to drive the invaders away. It was the panic that made the mayor contact the command of COMAR, asking for instructions, and the Brigadier General ordered that I was to investigate the sightings.
UFO Magazine – Was there at some point a participation or instruction from Brasilia (Ed.: the capital, i.e. the government) so that the situation is inquired?
Hollanda – At the time, it did not participate in the discussions. There was only one captain and he received only orders. I was no part of this proceeding and I do not know with certainty as of the decisions that had been taken. But, for the little that I know, the decision was in the hands of the command of COMAR. If it had involvement of Brasilia, I do not know about it.
UFO Magazine – How did you organize Operation Plate? How many sections, how many people, how many missions etc? And did you organize all the tasks?
Hollanda – Well, we were a team. I was at the head of it. We had five agents, all sergeants, that worked in the second division of COMAR. Moreover, we had informers on location, people in the places where the lights appeared, on the field,that helped them. At the time I divided the team in two or three different positions in the country. Clearly, we were constantly in contact with one another, through radio.
UFO Magazine – What was the immediate objective of Operation Plate? To observe flying disks, to photograph them and to contact them?
Hollanda – As a matter of fact I wanted to test this thing off exactly and completely. It wanted to explain it and clear it out. Because everybody spoke in the lights and objects and had even nicknamed them with popular names, such as “Chupa-chupa” (Ed.: “suck-suck” or “absorb-absorb”). And, the Brazilian Air Forces needed to know what was really happening, since this occurred in the Brazilian airspace. The responsibility to inquire was ours. But in the beginning of Operation Plate, what I exactly I wanted was a confirmation the events that were happening.
UFO Magazine – What motivated the local population to call the lights “Cupa-chupa?”
Hollanda – There were a series of stories of people who had been touched by a light ray. All judged that the effect of the ray was to suck blood out of them. And actually we verified some cases and we discovered that several of them, mainly women, had strangest marks on their left breast, and there were two punctures of needle around a brown spot. It looked like iodine burning. And those people had their blood sucked out, in small amount, by those lights.
Therefore they had started to nickname them “Chupa-chupa.” It was always the same thing: a light came out of nothing and followed somebody, generally a woman, who was hit on the left breast. At some times they were men who were hit, with marks in the arms and (pemas.) To tell you the truth, in ten cases, there were more or less eight women and two men.
UFO Magazine – And you have recorded and checked the marks on the people?
Hollanda – Yes, it was all checked and analyzed by doctors, who went with us to the locations at the time. Sincerely, I entered in this as the devil’s advocate. What I exactly wanted was to demystify this story and to say to my commander that this thing did not exist, that it was a collective hallucination. I found that some things were being seen, but that it was not extraterrestrial.
UFO Magazine – What did you think it was, then, that was being seen and attacked the people?
Hollanda – I do not know. Perhaps the plumage of an owl reflecting the light of the moon or some other thing of this sort. It was thought it might be extraterrestrial, but I did not think so. I went there for verifying that this thing was really happening. I spent at least two months to get an answer for my commander, when I came back from the mission, I had discovered nothing.
The first the two months of Operation Plate, I saw nothing that could change my opinion. At one point we spent one week in the weeds and came back only on the Sunday, we lived a little bit like a family. At each report, my commander asked:
“Did you see something?” And my response was always: “We saw strange lights, at least, but nothing extraterrestrial”. In fact, we saw lights that never blinked, that passed at a low altitude, but nothing very strange.
UFO Magazine – This was during the night. What happened during the day? Were there other activities during Operation Plate?
Hollanda – Yes, we had other things to do, that were part of the objectives of the operation. We made interviews with people who had had experiences, we prepared the places to spend the night and searched “hot” spots for night watches. When we discovered that something appeared in such a place, we (…). We made a survey of the situation, and we always registered the names of the involved people in a proper form.
UFO Magazine – What procedure or methodology was used to collect information?
Hollanda – We always recorded the name of the person who had the experience, the place where it occurred, the date and time etc. We made a description of each fact that occurred in the same locality. Thus, if three cases in a night happened, people heard three witnesses. Some of the descriptions were common, the other had most strangeness. At times we received stories from things that we could not prove to be authentic, as dematerialization of entire walls or roofs, for example.
UFO Magazine – What do you mean? Do you have some example to illustrate this type of events?
Hollanda – Yes. The first lady that I interviewed in Colares, for example, told me absurd things. We came by the helicopter from Belém just to hear a woman who had been attacked by the Chupa-Chupa. We really did see that she had a mark in the left breast. It was brown, as if it was a burning, and had series of holes in a line. When we talked, told to me that a child was seated in a net trying to put a child to sleep when, suddenly, the environment started to change of temperature. She found it rather pleasant, but she could not imagine what happened next. Then, lying in the net, she saw that the roofing tiles had started to be colored, in live coal color. After that, they changed to be transparent and she could see the sky through the roof. It was as if the roofing tiles had turned into glass. She saw the sky and even the stars.
UFO Magazine – Were strange stories such as this very common during Operation Plate?
Hollanda – Very common, and it scared me a lot, because I had never heard anyone speak about such things. When I heard of such cases, I was both worried and even more curious. These people seemed to be sincere. For example, through the hole that the woman described she saw a green light shining in the sky. The lady was half asleep, until, after that, a red ray that left the UFO reached her left breast. It was strange that in the majority of the cases the people were hit at their left side. There was more: exactly at the time where we were speaking of this, a girl came to us and said:
“Look at the thing that is passing above.” When I left the house, I saw the light that the young girl was pointing, flying at a reasonable speed, although the sky was sufficiently covered. It was not very quick and it blinked as it was going to the North. It looked like a satellite, except that this light turned back on its route – and satellites do not do this!
Soon after that, there was something even stranger. But I could not exactly say if it was an extraterrestrial ship. By the way, I was not there to cover up anything that appeared as being a flying disk.
UFO Magazine – Did you use some type of radar equipment that could confirm or follow these phenomena?
Hollanda – No. All the airports have fixed radars. We did not carry anything of this type.
UFO Magazine – Were the attacks that were happening with certain frequency communicated to the Government, to the state or municipal authorities?
Hollanda – Yes, clearly. Some doctors of the Ministry of Public Health of Pará had been sent by the government to examine the people. They analyzed the burnt skins and took the patients statements, but they did not do anything more than that – never. Some victims recovered easily. Others were very terrified. Some have been nauseates, or fell asleep for days. A citizen once came to look for me and said that next to his house a light had appeared, that focuses a shining ray towards him. He told me that he has been so terrified that he ran inside his house, caught a weapon and pointed it to the light. Then stronger rays came and caused him to fall. The poor men spent two weeks with locomotion problems (Ed.: Because he fell), but did not have anything more serious.
He has not been hit by anything solid, as a shot, for example. It seems that the nature of this light was that of a very strong energy that left people paralyzed. I believe that the federal authorities were informed of this type of attack on human beings that were happening in the region, but I am unaware of any tests. I only received orders from my commander, nothing more.
UFO Magazine – If these depositions had been collected since the beginning of the Operation Plate, when were the first close encounters with UFOS in that region begin?
Hollanda – It was sufficiently significant. Certain night, our team was searching the Island of Mosqueiro, in a place called Bahia do Sol (Ed.: Sun Bay) (Publisher: a known health-resort of Belém, near Colares), therefore we had information that these things were happening there. And as we were investigating all and any indication of ufological occurrences, we settled ourselves in the place. In this period, the agents who had more time than I to devote to this operation – since “I caught the train when it was already started” -, they questioned me all the time, after they saw some lights, as if I was already convinced of the existence of the phenomenon. As I was still undecided, they said to me: “But captain, do you still not believe?” I answered that I wasn’t, that we needed more tests to believe that those things were flying disks. I had not seen any ship at that time. Only light, many and varied. I was still not satisfied.
Less than two months after the interview, Hollanda was found hanged inside his home. While the official investigation speaks of a suicide, there are some who suspect the incident would have been much more than that.
Documents from the infamous Operation Plate were released by the Brazilian military in late 2009, and four years later, officials from the Brazilian Air Force, Navy, and Army joined forces with civilian UFO researchers to further investigate the UFO phenomenon.
The Government’s ABC of UFO Activity: Projects Sign, Grudge and Blue Book
The Government’s ABC of UFO Activity: Projects Sign, Grudge and Blue Book
On June 24, 1947, Kenneth Arnold, a reputed American aviator and businessman, witnessed a formation of vivid colored, crescent-shaped crafts hasting at speeds of over 1,200 knots in the vicinity of Mount Rainier, Washington. After comparing their flight with “a saucer when you skip it over the water,” the term “flying saucer” came into existence.
After this event, the public’s interest for the phenomenon quickly boosted, and soon after, the Air Force saw an increase in calls from people asking them to investigate what Arnold reported. The government began looking into this matter of UFOs or “flying disks” – as UFOs were usually referred to back then. However, early concerns of unidentified flying objects consisted in a possible Soviet invasion using advanced technology stolen from Nazi scientists captured during the war rather than an extraterrestrial invasion.
Being on the brink of a dangerous Cold War with Stalinist Russia,the government was afraid of a possible intrusion of the American airspace by technologically-advanced flying devices owned by the Russians, so they decided to reach into the matter for further clearance.
In late 1947, Project Sign was initiated by the Air Technical Intelligence Center at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Believe it or not, Sign represented a genuine attempt to document “flying disks” in an exhaustive scientific manner, using some of the finest minds from the military and scientific community alike.
After analyzing the situation, the rumors of a possible Soviet invasion in their so-called “Horten disks” was quickly dismissed, along with the possibility of experimental American aircrafts. The report concluded that UFOs are likely to be real, and also extraterrestrial in nature. The Air Force seemed satisfied with Sign’s twelve months of intense investigation, so a final report was forwarded to the Pentagon where a heated debate about national security started.
On one side were the Air Force officers who supported the novel idea of otherworldly visitors, while on the other were those who considered that such information should remain classified because it could stain the confidence that people have in the military. Because of the war threat, the Americans couldn’t risk to make this information public, so USAF Chief of Staff, General Hoyt Vandenberg had the documents erased and Sign dismissed.
Project Grudge took over Sign in 1949, its mission being deliberately debunking the UFO phenomenon in every possible way. Fearing an unprecedented public panic prior to the Roswell incident, USAF started dismissing all UFO sightings. Project Grudge presented them as regular aircrafts, weather balloons, meteors, optical illusions and other rational explanations.
Various civil academics supported the above mentioned, together with USAF Air Weather Service and United States Weather Bureau, and soon enough, Grudge started to ridicule the UFO phenomenon. It concluded that UFOs were nothing more than hoaxes set up by psychopaths to create mass hysteria, and even suggested that all sightings to be forwarded to the psychological warfare division. Sadly enough, after several solid UFO reports, the government aimed at debunking the entire phenomenon, all in the name of national security (or their wellbeing).
Project Grudge came to an end in 1952 when high-rank Air Force officials pressured the government to enhance the project because of an increasing number of unusual radar signals reported all over America. Captain Edward J. Ruppelt was assigned to this task, and Project Blue Book was then operational.
It continued to investigate the UFO phenomenon until 1969. By then, a total number of 12, 618 sightings were store in the Air Force archives, 701 of them remaining unexplained, including a sighting over New Mexico related by a police officer who claimed to had seen a flying disk marked with a red insignia and piloted by “child-like beings” that left scorch marks and lots of physical evidence behind.

SHOCKING:This Selfie From Hell Is Making People Faint All Over The World!
This innocent selfie is guaranteed to leave a shocking impression on you – you will NEVER take selfies alone in your house again after watching this video.
Initially you see a woman innocently taking a selfie with her house as the background. She was quite horrified when she took a selfie and a figure of a man was captured behind her! She took another selfie and the man appeared to be getting closer to her… What the?? I don’t want to give too much away, but the ending of this video is quite unexpected and absolutely terrifying.
NASA experts claim to have intercepted an intergalactic distress call from an alien civilization that had already peaked and was actually dying when saber-tooth tigers still roamed the earth.
The 80,000-year-old SOS was received and digitally recorded in late January 1998.
But only in recent weeks have radio astronomers and language experts found the key to the complex mathematics-based language that enabled them to translate the 'frantic plea for help'.
The world press has been suspiciously silent about the startling message, though lengthy scientific reports are scheduled for publication in two professional journals, Radio Astronomy and Universe.
According to a highly placed NASA source in Houston, Texas, noted Russian space scientist Dr. Viktor Kulakov is leading a United Nations research team from a state-operated observatory 50 miles northwest of Moscow.
Dr. Kulakov told Universe that the signal emanated from a point beyond the galaxy nearest to our own, Andromeda, and was sent by beings that had apparently achieved a civilization no more advanced than our own here on Earth.
“The simple fact that we received and decoded the message proves beyond any doubt that their knowledge and technology were, at the very best, within our reach.” Dr. Kulakov explained.
“And while there are years of study ahead of us, I can say with certainty that the death of their civilization was not the result of some cosmic catastrophe. It was the result of the civilization turning on itself, possibly with devastating nuclear weaponry.”
Dr Kulakov flatly refused to provide either of the magazines with a transcript of the message, but he did say it began with the plea, “Help us,” and went on to give data pinpointing the exact position of the doomed planet.
"There was a quite lucid account of apocalyptic devastation, hellish explosions, widespread death and terminal illnesses,” he said.
“A Shower of meteors? Perhaps. But what stikes me, and this is just a feeling, is an underlying acceptance of guilt. It’s as if the senders of the message are acknowledging blame for what happened.”
"Whatever it was, they apparently had no means to evacuate the remaining population. Interplanetary space travel was available to them, but only on a very limited level. The message makes it very clear that they were trapped on their world,” said Dr. Kulakov.
A Kansas witness at Clearwater recalled a UFO incident from the 60s when she and two family members had an encounter with a disc-shaped UFO that shot a beam of light inside their vehicle, according to testimony in Case 75494 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness encountered a disc UFO hovering over power lines. Pictured: Facing east in Clearwater, Kansas. (Credit: Google Maps)
The witness was driving eastbound through Clearwater about 8 p.m. in March 1966 or 1967.
“We noticed a very black object hovering above the power lines alongside a train track,” the witness stated. “It had small windows and was lit up on the inside.”
All three family members reacted at about the same time, asking, “What is that?”
The object then started to travel in the direction of their car, flew over the car and then hovered in front of the car closest to the passenger side.
The UFO moved over the vehicle and shown a light into their car. Pictured: Facing east in Clearwater, Kansas. (Credit: Google Maps)
“My brother had either stopped the car or it has stopped on its own. There was a very bright, yellow beam of light that was directed at the car and lit up the inside. We all sat very still and didn’t move until I looked at my brother and said, ‘Don’t stare, just go!’”
The witness studied the object.
“About that time the yellow beam of light went out and a door in the bottom of the object closed, then the object took off at a 45-degree angle and dissipated into the air in about three seconds. The car started and we started traveling east on the rural road. We were all silent and I remember feeling angry, nauseated and upset at the incident. I didn’t want to even think about it because it was so unpleasant.”
The object eventually turned off the light and moved away, leaving the passengers feeling nauseated. Pictured: Facing east in Clearwater, Kansas. (Credit: Google Maps)
Another family member attempted to find out what happened.
“When we got home my mother called the Air Force base close to our home and they denied having any knowledge of anything. I am an elderly woman who has always wanted an explanation as to what this was but doubt that I will ever know. There were no cell phones to take pictures in those days.”

Antartica Expedition Find Meteorites To Help Answer Questions About Solar System Evolution, UFO Sighting News
Date of discovery: April 2016 Location of discovery: Antartica Who hasn't dreamed about this? Walking along, and finding a hand size meter right there on top of the snow. Traveling from across the universe, over the course of billions of years. Some of these meteorites may actually be ancient alien tech, and some even contain the rare element 115, which Bob Lazar said was so powerful, a coin size piece would power a alien disk for 30+ years. Such a meteor has been found twice, both in Africa and both disappeared from the Internet within weeks. Also many rocky meteorites have been found to contain ancient signs of early life fossils.

Meteorite Hunters In Florida Find Four Meteorites, Photos, UFO Sighting News. News states: A team of eight scientists spent two-months in the frozen landscape of Antarctica as part of the Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET), a 40-year program that has helped reveal information about asteroids, other bodies of our solar system and the red planet which will assist NASA on its Journey to Mars. The team recovered nearly 570 new meteorite samples from the Miller Range of the Trans-Antarctic Mountains during the expedition. Samples recovered from recent seasons include rare and scientifically valuable pieces of Mars and Moon, as well as rocks formed very early during the formation and evolution of the solar system that hold clues to the origin of volatiles, planets and the organic compounds essential to life. The meteorites collected give us important clues about the early solar system, but even the thousands of meteorites recovered over the years represent a tiny part of the larger puzzle, including a find in the 1990s that produced evidence that sparked a vigorous debate about whether life could have existed on Mars more than 3.6 billion years ago. Meteorites are currently the only way to acquire samples from Mars as well as new samples of the moon that are different from – and originated far from – the Apollo landing sites, as well as a variety of asteroid bodies.
