Nieuwe Nascatekening ontdekt in Peruviaanse woestijn - HLN.be

Bron: National Geographic

ARCHEOLOGIE In de Nascawoestijn heeft een Japans onderzoeksteam een nieuwe geoglief ontdekt. De zandtekening van een dier dat zijn tong uitsteekt, is meer dan 2.000 jaar oud, zo meldt de website van National Geographic.

De figuur van ongeveer 30 meter lang werd ontdekt op de hoogvlaktes van Pampa de Majuelos, in het zuidwesten van Peru. De site ligt op 12 kilometer van de site met de bekendere Nascalijnen, die in 1994 door Unesco op de Werelderfgoedlijst werden geplaatst.

De nieuw ontdekte tekening lijkt een dier af te beelden, met aan de linkerkant het hoofd met een uitgestoken tong. Aan de rechterkant zit het lichaam met romp en ledematen.

Het zou niet om een echt bestaan dier gaan, zo vermoedt Masato Sakai van de Universiteit van Yamagata. "De tekening van het dier lijkt niet realistisch te zijn, maar lijkt eerder ingebeeld." De weterschapper schat dat de lijnen tussen 2.000 en 2.500 jaar oud zijn.

EERSTE TEKENEN VAN KOMENDE POLE SHIFT KONDIGEN ZICH AAN...

Eén van de mogelijke gevolgen van de passage van de planeet Nibiru is het fysiek verplaatsen van de noord- en zuidpool van de aarde (pole shift).

Talloze voorspellingen en oude legenden wijzen in die richting, maar ook de waarnemingen van Inuit Eskimo’s en nu ook eindelijk de wetenschap. 

Je kunt je voorstellen dat een mini-zonnestelsel met planeten vele malen groter dan de aarde voor de nodige verstoringen zal zorgen, wanneer deze dichterbij ons in de buurt komt. 

Wat het bijvoorbeeld zou kunnen doen, is met zodanig grote krachten op de aarde inwerken dat deze fysiek van positie verandert. Dat wil zeggen, een beweging maakt over een bepaalde tijdsperiode wat ervoor zorgt dat wat nu de noord- en de zuidpool is, op hele andere plekken op aarde terechtkomen. Dit is dus niet hetzelfde als het bewegen van de magnetische polen.

Zo schreven wij bijvoorbeeld vorig jaar een artikel waarin de mogelijkheid werd geopperd dat na de passage van Nibiru,India zich op de zuidpool zou bevinden. 

We hebben de laatste jaren diverse keren verhalen kunnen lezen over hoe de magnetische polen van positie veranderen. Zodanig zelfs dat sommige vliegvelden hun landingsbanen moesten aanpassen, omdat de landingsbaanpositie ten opzichte van de magnetische pool zoals die op een landingsbaan wordt aangegeven, niet meer klopte. 

Tot nu toe is er eigenlijk formeel nog nooit sprake geweest van een afwijking van de fysieke polen, tot begin deze maand toen National Geographic met een verhaal kwam dat de fysieke polen, dus niet de magnetische polen, aan het bewegen zijn. Dat niet alleen, dit betekent ook dat de aardas van positie veranderd. 

Omdat toch hiervoor een verklaring gevonden moet worden, gooien we dat dan maar weer op de (hoax) door de mens veroorzaakte wereldwijde opwarming. 

Wanneer je dan het artikel echter eens goed doorleest, volgen er zinnen zoals: “Maar, de fysica is zo gecompliceerd, dat natuurkundigen niet veel meer kunnen doen dan maar raden hoe het eigenlijk in de echte wereld werkt”. 

Met andere woorden: We hebben geen flauw idee waarom de polen en de aardas van positie veranderen, dus raden we maar wat. 

Wanneer we er echter vanuit gaan dat er geweldige krachten op de aarde inwerken die voor zorgen voor die toename in heftige aardveranderingen zoals aardbevingen en vulkaanuitbarstingen, massale dierensterfte, sinkholes, enorme toename vuurballen in de lucht enzovoort, dan wordt alles ineens logisch. 

Als de aarde fysiek van positie verandert dan zal bijvoorbeeld de positie van het noordelijk poolijs ook veranderen en in warmere streken terechtkomen, waardoor dit zal gaan smelten. Andere gebieden waar het tot nu toe altijd warm was, zullen in koudere streken terechtkomen. Heeft helemaal niets te maken met door de mens veroorzaakte opwarming van de aarde. 

Het wordt in Alaska steeds warmer en bij ons lijkt het steeds kouder te worden. Dit is dan weer niet zo vreemd wanneer je bedenkt dat de fysieke pool verschuift richting Engeland. 

De Inuit eskimo’s hadden al veel langer in de gaten dat er wat aan de hand is, zoals wij al schreven in een artikel in 2011: 

Na een lange periode van duisternis kwam de Zon begin dit jaar onder meer te vroeg op boven Noorwegen, Groenland en Alaska. 

In deze tijd van aardeveranderingen komen de Inuit aan het woord over hun eigen veranderende leefomgeving. Zowel de positie van de Zon en de andere sterren als de windrichting zijn veranderd, zo zeggen zij. 

Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis van het meest westelijke stadje van Groenland Ilulissat kwam op 13 januari jongstleden de Zon al op, twee dagen eerder dan normaal. Op 20 januari kwam de Zon op boven de noordelijke Noorse stad Tromsø, een dag vroeger dan andere jaren. De Zon kwam boven Barrow in Alaska vier dagen eerder op dan gebruikelijk. 

De Inuit uit de regio Qikiqtaaluk in het territorium Nunavut in Canada merken dat hun gehele leefomgeving aan het veranderen is. Zo hadden ze voorheen exact één uur om op zeehondenjacht te gaan, terwijl het nu tot een uur langer licht blijft in het gebied. 

De Inuit volgen de Zon hun hele leven. Ze merken dat de zonsopgang niet zozeer is veranderd, maar dat de Zon op een andere plaats ondergaat. 

“De Zon ging altijd bij de hoogste bergtop onder, maar op een bepaald moment ging hij voorbij de bergtop pas onder,” zo zegt Elijah Nowdlak uit Pangnirtung. 

Door de mainstream media werd dit uiteraard afgedaan als “ze verbeelden zich maar wat”. 

Het verhaal van de Inuit klopt dus wel degelijk. De fysieke positie van de aarde is veranderd. 

Omdat nu de wetenschap toegeeft dat de fysieke polen aan het veranderen zijn is een deel uit een eerder artikel uit 2013 interessant, over de mogelijke gevolgen van een fysieke poolomkering, de zogenaamde poleshift. 

Eén ding is zeker; mochten ooit de polen op aarde omdraaien dan zullen er geweldige krachten op onze planeet losbarsten. Zó groot dat het genoeg is om land te doen zinken en nieuw te laten herrijzen. 

Vorige week publiceerden wij de voorspellingen van Moeder Shipton, de Engelse heks en profete die sprak over mensen die naar hogergelegen gebieden zouden vluchten met de komst van Nibiru. 

Zij was niet de enige: 

Edgar Cayce, ook wel de slapende profeet genoemd, heeft de wereld verbaasd doen staan met de accuraatheid van zijn voorspellingen. Alhoewel ze (nog) niet allemaal lijken te zijn uitgekomen, is dit bij de meesten ervan wel het geval en bleken ze volkomen correct te zijn. 

Een opmerkelijke voorspelling die hij deed was op 1 januari 1945. Op die dag voorspelde Cayce dat hij over vier dagen begraven zou worden. Op 3 januari 1945 overleed hij aan een hersenbloeding. 

Ook voorspelde hij de dood van twee Amerikaanse presidenten correct, de crash van de aandelenbeurs in 1929, de val van de Sovjet Unie, de opkomst en ondergang van Adolf Hitler en de terugkeer van de Joden naar Israël. 

Wat voor ons nu van belang is, is dat Edgar Cayce ook geweldige aardveranderingen heeft voorspeld. Hij voorspelde dat er een punt zou komen waarop de fysieke polen van de aarde zullen omkeren (pole shift). 

De korst van de aarde zou in beweging komen onafhankelijk van de kern van de aarde, waardoor het aardoppervlak een totaal ander uiterlijk zal krijgen. Hij deed deze voorspellingen in de periode tussen 1920 en 1930. Hij gaf daarbij aan dat dit zou beginnen in de tweede helft van de vorige eeuw. 

Zo zei hij letterlijk: 

“De aarde zal op vele plaatsen worden (open)gebroken. In het eerste deel zal je een verandering zien in het fysieke uiterlijk van de Amerikaanse westkust. Er zullen open wateren verschijnen in de noordelijke delen van Groenland. Het grootste deel van Japan zal in de zee verdwijnen. Het noordelijk deel van Europa zal in een oogwenk veranderen. Er zal nieuw land verschijnen voor de oostkust van Amerika”. 

Alhoewel Edgar Cayce wel een pole shift voorspelt, is uit deze voorspellingen niet op te maken waardoor dit wordt veroorzaakt. Hij geeft verder ook geen uitleg met betrekking tot al de heftige aardveranderingen. 

Iemand die dat wel doet, is Nancy Lieder van Zetatalk. Ook zij voorspelt een pole shift, maar geeft daar ook een hele duidelijke oorzaak voor en wel de komst van de onbekende planeet Nibiru. 

Ook voorspelt zij weinig goeds voor Europa als gevolg van deze poolomkering. Echter, in tegenstelling tot Cayce die zegt dat dit allemaal in een oogwenk zal gebeuren, heeft zij het over een geleidelijk onder water stromen van grote stukken van Europa. De delen die dan volgens haar worden getroffen zijn de roodgekleurde gebieden op onderstaand kaartje.

Het gevolg is enorme volksverhuizingen waarbij mensen met grote spoed op zoek gaan naar hogergelegen gebieden. Zo schijnt het dat Rusland, volgens Nancy Lieder, al heeft aangegeven dat ze hun grenzen zullen sluiten als dit gebeurt, omdat ze dan hun handen meer dan vol zullen hebben aan hun eigen bevolking. 

Een nadere aanwijzing is misschien te vinden in het zogenaamde Derde Geheim van Fatima. Officiëel is de uitleg daarvan als volgt: 

“Het derde geheim was lange tijd alleen bekend bij het Vaticaan. Dit geheim zou in 1960 openbaar gemaakt worden door de paus[1]. Pas in 2000 werd door Vaticaan-woordvoerder Joáquin Navarro-Valls bekendgemaakt. In het visioen figureert een in het wit geklede bisschop die wordt neergeschoten terwijl hij met het kruis tussen talloze gedode martelaren loopt. Dit visioen verklaart achteraf waarom het derde geheim een profetie was van de aanslag die Mehmet Ali Ağca in 1981 pleegde op paus Johannes Paulus II. Die aanslag vond eveneens plaats op 13 mei en de paus gelooft daarom dat het aan Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Fátima te danken was dat de kogel in zijn buik, en niet in zijn hoofd terechtgekomen was. Later werd de operatief verwijderde kogel verwerkt in de kroon van het beeld van Maria van Fátima”. 

Er bestaat echter een gerede kans dat het Derde Geheim van Fatima een hele andere boodschap inhield. Zo zei Paus Paulus de Tweede in een vergadering met een groep Duitse bisschoppen toen hem naar het geheim van Fatima werd gevraagd in 1982: 

“Wat voor zin heeft het om de wereld te alarmeren en te vertellen dat de oceanen hun bassin zullen verlaten en het vasteland zullen overspoelen waarbij ieder uur miljoenen zullen sterven?”. En dit was niet de enige keer dat deze paus een dergelijke boodschap gaf. In een eerder bespreking met Duitse bisschoppen in 1980 gaf hij een boodschap met ongeveer dezelfde strekking. “Het is volkomen zinloos de mensheid hiervoor te waarschuwen”.

Baltic Sea Floor Item Looks Like An Alien UFO

A Swedish team of treasure hunters and deep sea explorers, Ocean X, believe they have discovered a Millennium Falcon alien space ship. They found the strange object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea in 2011 and claimed that the apparent alien craft caused unusual technology malfunctions whenever their boats were positioned over it.

Now, the team is desperate to find more funding to conduct more explorations in the area. The alleged mysterious cellular and radio wave activity has brought more interest to alien enthusiasts.

Back in 2012, Ocean X diver Stefan Hogerborn said that anything electric, including a satellite phone, stopped working when they were above the object. Everything just got back to normal when they were about 200 metres away. They tried to get back over the object, and it did not work again.

Extra-terrestrial believers have suggested the object, which measures 61-metre wide and 8-metre tall, looks similar to the fictional Star Wars Millennium Falcon.

However, the discovery on the Baltic Sea floor in 2011 could also be a Nazi battleship gun turret or perhaps an anti-submarine device.

Another suggestion from an expert is that the deep sea item is a glacial deposit that Ocean X found in a low-resolution sonar scan.

Dan Fornani, a seabed sonar scanning expert, said that the data lacks in resolution, detail, and quantification.

Moreover, the sonar image has many artefacts that make it challenging to interpret. Fornani explained that any interpretation of the image would not place too much confidence until a better processing is provided and details of the type of sonar and particulars are given.

Hubble Just Discovered A New Moon Hiding In Our Solar System

 

NASA

IN BRIEF

With data from the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers discovered MK2, a hidden satellite orbiting the second brightest icy dwarf planet, Makemake.

Makemake, a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, is recognized as the only distant dwarf planet without a satellite…or so astronomers thought.

Recently, astronomer Alex Parker discovered that the tiny planet actually has a companion, thanks to data from the Hubble Space Telescope. The newly discovered moon is temporarily nicknamed MK2, the friendlier version of S/2015 (136472) 1.

MK2’s host planet, Makemake, is the second brightest icy dwarf planet, and experts believe that it’s the reason why the moon has remained invisible, along with the sheer darkness of those parts of the Solar System. The tiny moon is estimated to be 161 km (100 miles) in diameter, orbiting Makemake at around 20,900 km (13,000 miles) away, and is 1,300 times fainter than the planet. In spite of all that, the tiny moon was able to reflect just a bit of light for Hubble to see.

Parker stated that MK2 will give more information about its host planet at greater detail, adding that Pluto’s mass wasn’t even known until astronomers discovered its moon, Charon.

WASHINGTON — NASA is aiming to send astronauts to Mars sometime in the 2030s, but a new technology could help scientists explore the surface of the Red Planet — from its sprawling craters to its enormous volcanoes — from right here on Earth.

Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, partnered with Microsoft to develop software that uses the tech giant's HoloLens headsets to allow scientists to virtually explore and conduct scientific research on Mars.

The HoloLens is an augmented reality platform that "allows us to overlay imagery on top of the world and integrate it into that world as I'm looking at it," Tony Valderrama, a software engineer at JPL, said Sunday (April 24) in a demonstration of the technology here at the Smithsonian magazine's "Future Is Here" festival.

A striking new image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope delivers a deep look into a mysterious cosmic object called the Red Rectangle Nebula.

The Red Rectangle, so named because of its bizarre shape and striking color, is a nebula — a cosmic cloud of gas and particles. In this case, the nebula is formed by the central star, HD 44179, which is reaching the end of its life and shedding most of its mass into space.

The source of the red light emitted by the Red Rectangle baffled scientists for more than 30 years. The same kind of red emission was seen throughout the Milky Way and in other galaxies, but scientists weren't sure what created it. The mystery was finally solved in 2007: The glow comes from strange activity at the molecular level inside clusters of dust.

This new image gives scientists the best understanding yet of the structure of the Red Rectangle, according to a statement from NASA. Instead of a rectangle, it appears that the nebula around the star is shaped like an "X," with ladder-like rungs of glowing gas connecting the four arms.

The star at the center of the Red Rectangle is similar to Earth's sun and is responsible for those evenly spaced lines as it releases gas and other material to create the nebula and its distinctive shape. NASA experts now believe the star is also a close binary (meaning it has a stellar partner), and is surrounded by a dense area of dust, according to the statement.

The star at the center of the Red Rectangle will eventually leave behind a hot white dwarf that will give off brilliant ultraviolet radiation that will cause the surrounding gas to glow.

What Are Cosmic Rays?

Cosmic rays are atom fragments that rain down on the Earth from outside of the solar system. They blaze at the speed of light and have been blamed for electronics problems in satellites and other machinery.

First discovered in 1912, many things about cosmic rays remain a mystery more than a century later. One prime example is exactly where they are coming from. Most scientists suspect their origins are related to supernovas (star explosions), but the challenge is that cosmic ray origins appear uniform when you look across the entire sky.

History

While cosmic rays were only discovered in the 1900s, scientists knew something mysterious was going on as early as the 1780s. That's when French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb — best known for having a unit of electrical charge named after him — observed an electrically charged sphere suddenly and mysteriously not being charged any more.

At the time, air was thought to be an insulator and not an electric conductor. With more work, however, scientists discovered that air can conduct electricity if its molecules are charged or ionized. This would most commonly happen when the molecules interact with charged particles or X-rays.

But where these charged particles came from was a mystery; even attempts to block the charge with large amounts of lead were coming up empty. On Aug. 7, 1912, physicist Victor Hess flew a high-altitude balloon to 17,400 feet (5,300 meters). He discovered three times more ionizing radiation there than on the ground, which meant the radiation had to be coming from outer space.

But tracing cosmic ray "origin stories" took more than a century. In 2013, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope released results from observing two supernova remnants in the Milky Way: IC 433 and W44. 

Among the products of these star explosions are gamma-ray photons, which (unlike cosmic rays) are not affected by magnetic fields. The gamma rays studied had the same energy signature as subatomic particles called neutral pions. Pions are produced when protons get stuck in a magnetic field inside the shockwave of the supernova and crash into each other.

In other words, the matching energy signatures showed that protons could move at fast enough speeds within supernovas to create cosmic rays. 

Current science

We know today that galactic cosmic rays are atom fragments such as protons (positively charged particles), electrons (negatively charged particles) and atomic nuclei. While we know now they can be created in supernovas, there may be other sources available for cosmic ray creation. It also isn't clear exactly how supernovas are able to make these cosmic rays so fast.

Cosmic rays constantly rain down on Earth, and while the high-energy "primary" rays collide with atoms in the Earth's upper atmosphere and rarely make it through to the ground, "secondary" particles are ejected from this collision and do reach us on the ground.

But by the time these cosmic rays get to Earth, it's impossible to trace where they came from. That's because their path has been changed as they travelled through multiple magnetic fields (the galaxy's, the solar system's and Earth's itself.)

According to NASA, cosmic rays therefore come equally from all directions of the sky. So scientists are trying to trace back cosmic ray origins by looking at what the cosmic rays are made of. Scientists can figure this out by looking at the spectroscopic "signature" each nucleus gives off in radiation, and also by weighing the different isotopes (types) of elements that hit cosmic ray detectors.

The result, NASA adds, shows very common elements in the universe. Roughly 90 percent of cosmic ray nuclei are hydrogen (protons) and 9 percent are helium (alpha particles). Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the universe and the origin point for stars, galaxies and other large structures. The remaining 1 percent are all elements, and it's from that 1 percent that scientists can best search for rare elements to make comparisons between different types of cosmic rays.

Scientists can also date the cosmic rays by looking at radioactive nuclei that decrease over time. Measuring the "half life" of each nuclei gives an estimate of how long the cosmic ray has been out there in space.

Space radiation concerns

Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere shields the planet from 99.9 percent of the radiation from space. However, for people outside the protection of Earth's magnetic field, space radiation becomes a serious hazard. An instrument aboard the Curiosity Mars rover during its 253-day cruise to Mars revealed that the radiation dose received by an astronaut on even the shortest Earth-Mars round trip would be about 0.66 sievert. This amount is like receiving a whole-body CT scan every five or six days.

A dose of 1 sievert is associated with a 5.5 percent increase in the risk of fatal cancers. The normal daily radiation dose received by the average person living on Earth is 10 microsieverts (0.00001 sievert).

The moon has no atmosphere and a very weak magnetic field. Astronauts living there would have to provide their own protection, for example by burying their habitat underground.

The planet Mars has no global magnetic field. Particles from the sun have stripped away most of Mars’ atmosphere, resulting in very poor protection against radiation at the surface. The highest air pressure on Mars is equal to that at an altitude of 22 miles (35 kilometers) above the Earth’s surface. At low altitudes, Mars’ atmosphere provides slightly better protection from space radiation.

Mysterious 'Haloes' on Pluto Puzzle Scientists

The discovery of strange halo-like craters on Pluto has raised a new mystery about how the odd scars formed on the icy world.

Pluto's "halo" craters are clearly visible in a new image from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, which made the first-ever flyby of the dwarf planet in July 2015. In the image, a black-and-white view reveals dozens of ringed craters (NASA describes these formations as "haloed") strewn across the dark landscape of Vega Terra, a region in the far western reaches of the hemisphere photographed by New Horizons during its flyby. The craters have bright walls and rims, making them stand out from their darker surroundings.

While the haloed craters are eye-catching, what has really stumped scientists is what these features are made of. [Pluto Quiz! Are You a Plutophile or Not?]

A glimpse at the craters provided by New Horizons' Ralph/Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array revealed a surprising connection between the bright halo features and the distribution of methane ice, NASA officials explained in an image description. This methane ice around the craters shows up as a deep purple in an inset view included in the new image. The crater floors and in-between regions, meanwhile, are colored blue to indicate water ice.

"Exactly why the bright methane ice settles on these crater rims and walls is a mystery; also puzzling is why this same effect doesn't occur broadly across Pluto," NASA officials wrote in the image description.

Pluto : How Well Do You Know the Dwarf Planet?

Pluto, the most famous dwarf planet in our solar system, underwent a well-publicized (and somewhat controversial) reclassification that took away its title as the ninth and most distant planet from the sun. So, how well do you know this fascinating world?

So that's yet another mystery for scientists to ponder as the images and data continue to beam back to Earth from New Horizon's Pluto flyby on July 14, 2015. Mission scientists have said the probe's data download should be complete by October or November.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft launched in 2006 and is currently headed out into the Kuiper Belt, a region of icy bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune. Last week, mission scientists submitted a proposal for an extended mission that, if approved, would send the probe by the Kuiper Belt object 2014 MU69 on Jan. 1, 2019.

Watch: UFO Hovers Near Massive Storm Cloud

In an astonishing new video from Brazil, a glowing ball of light appears next to a massive storm cloud and hovers amidst its lightning bolts before slowing disappearing. 

According to the man who captured the footage, he and his friend saw the storm approaching during the daylight hours and had an eerie feeling about the oncoming weather. 

Thirty minutes later, they spotted the odd ball of light near the storm and decided to film the anomaly. 

The 'UFO' seems to float in one spot on the edge of the storm cloud for about three minutes and then simply vanishes. 

Some have suggested that the phenomenon in the footage is ball lighting, but others argue against that possibility due to the object's stationary position and fairly long duration. 

UFO researchers theorize that the scene is another indication of the phenomenon's interest in our planet's weather, noting similar incidents where object were seemingly caught observing storms. 

That said, we also cannot rule out that these anomalies are natural byproducts of the storms that science has yet to fully understand because the phenomenon is so fleeting. 

Check out the video and decide for yourself whether the object is an ET craft or merely something from here on Earth.

MYSTERIOUS GREEN LIGHT ‘UFO’ SEEN ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SKIES WAS AREA 51 ALIEN CRAFT CRASHING WHILE UNDERGOING USAF FLIGHT-TESTING, ACCORDING TO UFO HUNTER [VIDEO]

JOHNTHOMAS DIDYMUS

Thousands of people sighted a mysterious bright green and orb-shaped light that streaked across the skies of Southern California on Tuesday night, April 26, 2016, between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. The unexpected aerial display was reported by people living hundreds of miles apart in San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties and as far as Bakersfield in Kern County.

Although experts said that the object was most likely a meteor, a UFO blogger claims controversially that based on his experience of similar incidents in the past while living in Needles, San Bernardino County, in California, he was forced to conclude that Tuesday’s “green light UFO” was an alien craft, or a reverse-engineered replica of an alien craft, that crashed while undergoing USAF flight testing as part of reverse-engineering R&D efforts.

Incredible Moment Shows Fireball (Meteor) caught on DashCamera in Southern California (April 26)

https://youtu.be/jZypMtkLoXY

Residents in several cities and communities across Southern California were baffled about the sighting, and questions about the nature of the object sparked debates on social media, including Reddit.

Witnesses snapped pictures and took videos later uploaded online. Several witnesses contacted KTLA-TV, giving reports and submitting images and videos of the green fireball.

Dash cam footage of the mysterious green light was captured in Los Angeles, and it has gone viral online (see above). Many residents expressed astonishment at the size and brightness of the object and described the sight as “spectacular.”

A witness told the San Diego-Union Tribune that the fireball was “[v]ery large, very bright, fast moving vivid green ball followed by a shockingly orange/yellow fire tail.”

“I’ve never seen anything that large, that fast, or that close explode out of the sky,” the witness added. “We almost crashed while driving, we were in such disbelief.”

“Saw it from Point Loma. It was pretty big!”

“I also saw, can confirm, was spectacular.”

“Brightest and most consistent trail I’ve ever seen. ”

“The way the tail sparkled I thought it was really big fireworks.”

The San Diego-Union Tribune reports that the American Meteor Society received more than 60 reports of the fireball as it blazed over the city at about 9:39 p.m.

According to CBS Los Angeles, a spokesperson for the U.S. Strategic Command said the object did not correspond with any of the thousands of man-made space objects being tracked by the command, and thus, it was probably not a man-made object or space junk making re-entry into the atmosphere.

KTLA reports that Dr. Ed Krupp, the director of the Griffith Observatory, said the object was very likely a piece of “interplanetary debris” (that is, a space rock) that entered the Earth’s atmosphere and began glowing brightly after heating up due to friction in contact with the Earth’s dense atmosphere.

Green Light Seen Over Southern California Believed To Be Meteor

A green light that streaked across the night sky that was seen from the Mexican border to Central California was apparently a meteor or some other heavenly body falling to Earth.

losangeles.cbslocal.com

He added that the object burned up completely in the air. He said that meteors burning up in the air after impact with the Earth’s atmosphere were not uncommon. They happen regularly, but most incidents go unnoticed.

Some suggested that the fireball was part of the Lyrid meteor shower that peaked last Friday. Gizmodo, for instance, pointed out that Lyrid meteor fireballs tend to be explosive. The color of light emitted by a meteor depends on the type of metal atoms the meteor is composed of. Meteors consisting mainly of magnesium atoms tend to emit a blue-green light, while those composed of sodium atoms emit orange-yellow light.

However, alien and UFO conspiracy theorists view the incident from a different and unique perspective. UFO Sightings Daily editor Scott C. Waring believes the mysterious green light was an alien craft crashing to Earth.

He claims that his take on Tuesday’s incident was based on past experience. According to Waring, while living in Needles, California, in 2008, residents witnessed a green, glowing, and oval UFO that crashed at a site near the town. Residents later saw government agents in black helicopters and two “Janet planes” rush to the crash site to retrieve the alien craft.

The term “Janet” refers to USAF passenger planes based at the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, which are used to transport government employees and military officials to and from Area 51.

Waring claimed that Tuesday’s green UFO was the same type as the green and oval alien craft that residents of Needles witnessed crashing in May 2008. He claims that alien crafts and reverse-engineered replicas in the hands of the USAF sometimes crash while being tested as part of reverse-reengineering efforts.

According to Waring, “Janet planes” carrying scientists from Area 51 must have been rushed to an airstrip nearest to the crash site to retrieve the UFO before anyone saw it.

He said alien crafts in the hands of government agencies and the USAF often crash during attempts to fly them, probably because USAF scientists, engineers, and technicians are unfamiliar with alien propulsion technology.

Such crafts have to be retrieved hastily by military specialists in black helicopters, backed by teams of government scientists transported to an airstrip nearest to the crash site in “Janet planes,” according to the UFO blogger.

Conspiracy theorists film a huge cloud of smoke billowing from top secret research base Area 51 

• Couple named Jimmy and Jackie driving near Area 51 when they noticed huge plum of dark smoke appearing in shape of mushroom cloud
• Video of incident was filmed in 201, but recently shared to YouTube
• As they are driving, Jimmy says, 'we noticed that there is like weird smoke over here. What's going on?' 

By DAILYMAIL.COM REPORTER

A couple driving through Nevada near the top secret Area 51 were shocked to see a huge plum of dark smoke that appeared to be in the shape of a mushroom cloud rising in the vicinity of the base.

Jimmy and Jackie were driving to the base the US government confirmed existed in 2013, and while approaching from Groom Road, they spotted the smoke. 

In a video filmed of the incident that happened in 2012, but was just recently shared to YouTube, Jimmy can be heard saying: 'We are still driving down groom road here and we noticed that there is like weird smoke over here. What could be going on?'

A couple driving through Nevada near Area 51 were shocked to see a huge plum of dark smoke that appeared to be in the shape of a mushroom cloud rising in the vicinity of the base.

Jimmy and Jackie were driving to the base the US government confirmed existed in 2013 and while approaching from Groom Road they spotted the smoke. They filmed video of their drive that took place in 2012

Jimmy then states that he's not sure 'what's going on,' but says they're not going to stop and will keep driving.

'What the hell is that?' he asks. 'A fire?'

Jackie can be heard replying 'yeah,' as the video shows them traveling towards the mysterious smoke. 

The couple, who is never pictured on camera, finally gets near the main gate, which has warning signs not to cross. 

They noticed what appears to be a white security jeep that was parked on a hill reportedly monitoring them.

'They're watching us up there,' Jimmy says while aiming that camera at the parked white SUV. 

The couple then approaches a group of four people who were also watching the dark smoke billowing.

The video then jumps ahead to the couple back in the car driving away from the base, as the camera is aimed at the 'big cloud' before concluding.  

Earlier in April, Hillary Clinton promised to investigate and declassify government files on UFOs and make them available to the public.  

'I would like to go into those files and, hopefully, make as much of that public as possible,' Clinton said Jimmy Kimmel Live! 

'If there's nothing there, let's tell people there's nothing there. If there something there, unless it's a threat to national security, I think we ought to share it with the public.'

Brainless Slime Mold Found To Be Capable Of Learning

•  Brett Tingley

An international team of scientists announced this week that they have discovered learning behaviors in colonies of single-celled organisms. The study, published in The Proceedings of Royal Society B, outlines how the slime mold Physarum polycephalum has been observed to change behaviors in response to stimuli and repeat those behaviors later.

Physarum polycephalum

For this experiment, researchers placed a small number of Physarum polycephalum cells in a petri dish across from a food source for the slime to move towards. Next, the researchers placed a small amount of a bitter substance such as quinine or caffeine across the middle of the dish. The slime reacted by moving around the bittering agent through a narrow path the researchers left for it. The next time food was placed opposite the slime, the organism took the same route through the narrow path it previously took to avoid the bittering agent.

The same slime mold has been observed in previous studies to solve simple computational problems or even find solutions to classic “minimal length” problems in mazes. A 2008 Japanese study even found that Physarum polycephalum has a very primitive form of memory, and can anticipate future stimuli. One of the researchers in that study, Toshiyuki Nakagaki, argues that the many-headed slime challenges many of our notions about single-celled organisms:

The organism is able to remember periodic changes that it has not experienced before. This indicates that the organism has a generalized capacity for learning

Physarum polycephalum is typically found growing on decaying leaves or tree trunks and has a yellowish, slimy appearance. Its name in Latin literally means “many-headed slime,” and the name might give some clues as to how the organism displays learning-like behaviors. While it is theorized that the individual cells within this slime mold might be able to share information about stimuli, the specific mechanism that enables these behaviors is still unknown.

Physarum polycephalum “navigating” a maze

The study of this slime mold sheds light on how information sharing works at the cellular level and could potentially lead to discoveries about how learning evolved into the forms of intelligence seen in higher order organisms. So, outdoorsmen and women, the next time you see slime growing up the side of a tree, remember to be courteous – it could be learning from you.

Unknown Bright Object Shooting Across the California Sky ‘for Hundreds of Miles’ (Video)

(Before It's News)

A bright green flash has been seen by people hundreds of miles apart shooting across the Californian night sky on April 26, 2016.

U.S. Strategic Command told CBS that the mysterious object does not appear to be man-made, however it was not a tracked satellite in their database, the agency said.

The first video shows the sphere-like object, continued with a footage captured on the dash cam of a car in Los Angeles around that time, shows the object ( space junk fireball/meteor or something else?) falling through the night sky towards the ground.

Another witness on his way home caught the fireball on his dash cam too. Witness: “The camera doesn’t capture it very well but the fireball was sparking a lot and had a green light to it.”

UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT CRASH-LANDS IN LAKE WINNIPEG, MILITARY IMMEDIATELY TAKES OVER

This particular event which occurred in a desolate place from Canada during extreme-weather conditions forced the military to cover-up tracks once again. 

 

This February, in Manitoba, Canada, on the Jackhead Reservation, rumors spread about a possible UFO crash landing into Lake Winnipeg. 

 

Following this report, the Canadian military has quickly made their way to the highlighted area, blocking all access to unauthorized personnel. 

 

During the military operation, nobody was permitted to enter or leave the reservation, while the residents of the area were visited by troops telling them that an emergency training excercise is ongoing and that they shouldn’t leave their homes until this ends. 

 

 

This was a curious action because an extremely cold front was already being felt over Manitoba for a last couple of days, making time spent outdoors a dangerous activity.

 

 A man stranded inside the Jackhead Reservation allegedly reported that: 

 

• Apparently a disc shaped craft was seen crashing through the ice on the lake, at least one person got photographic evidence but has since been detained by the Canadian military. 

 

The military deployed a large number of troops and equipment, effectively suppressing all view of what crashed into the lake or what they were doing there. Fortunately, some brave citizens facing the harsh weather conditions managed to take a few pictures of the gear used by the military, highlighting the importance of this “exercise” in this eventless area of Canada. 

 

 

Owned by the Aboriginal people, the Jackhead Reservation is governed by their own laws which do not allow for operations such as these to take place, making the Canadian military intruders under these circumstances.

 

 A native by the name of Dakotah Traverse stated that no major event took place here until now and that UFOs are not a rare sight around these parts either: 

• My people have been seeing these kind of things for years now. It’s funny that the military has entered my reserve for training – which they have never before, and this sudden and with so much troops. My reserve has never seen this much attention before, especially by the military, but neither from anyplace else. I wouldn’t even call this place a blip on the map, it’s so small. 

While people reported seeing military forces dragging a strange disc-shaped object using snowmobiles, the Canadian army officials stated that this was just one big training exercise teaching soldiers on how to deal with a plane crash in the Arctic and rescue maneuvers. 

• There’s no aliens, just my friends in the air force who are out there helping us on this exercise. I have the commander of that air force contingent sitting right beside me and you know, he assures us that there was not a UFO, but that was him. 

It is rather unlikely that an actual training exercise took place because they refused to give in any data about the supposed event. No evidence has been released in order to assure us this was indeed a plane crash training operation.

 

 Whatever the case may be, we have drawn the line, speculating in favor of a UFO landing in the lake that could either have ET origins or it could be a craft designed using the latest military technology (which we believe to be extremely advanced) that crashed as a result of really bad weather

The Fermi Paradox – Aliens Haven’t Made Contact With Us Yet Because They’re Dead

Many attempts have been done throughout the years to communicate with extraterrestrial beings residing in the universe, but to no avail. A recent study has proposed that they may all be dead, so we should focus on preserving life on Earth rather than trying to reach them.

---

 

There’s no doubt about the vastness of the universe we live in. Considering this colossal expanse, it’s logical to assume that other intelligent lifeforms reside within. Our technological means have evolved, our understanding of space has boomed over the years, but we haven’t yet found any trace of advanced extraterrestrials. When it comes to why we haven’t achieved this yet, there are countless speculations providing an explanation.

 

First of all, let’s see how far the universe stretches. According to data gathered throughout the years, there should be billions of other galaxies beside the Milky Way, each of them containing billions of stars, in turn orbited by billions of planets. This only implies that chances for intelligent life to be found somewhere else other than Earth are extremely high. But why haven’t we managed such a feat yet?

 

According to scientists, other galaxies are out of reach for us. Even if we learn how to travel at the speed of light, time would be an issue whenever considering venturing outside of the Milky Way. So, instead of focusing on finding intelligent life in the entire cosmos, we should only search the galaxy that we find ourselves into. What are the chances of success you might ask?

 

There are around 100 billion planets in the Milky Way alone, and although just a portion of them could sustain life, there are still millions of planets left with extraterrestrial life, and hundreds of thousands that should be inhabited by intelligent and advanced species. So why haven’t we discovered them so far if they reside in the same galaxy as we do?

 

The Fermi’s paradox tries to elucidate this mystery. It represents an apparent contradiction between the estimated possibilities (which clearly give high chances for ET life) and the lack of evidence of alien life.

 

 

A new study conducted by scientists at the Australian National University suggests that we failed to discover aliens because they all may be dead. As extreme as this sounds, the team has based their hypothesis on certain calculations of planetary birth – the first billion years after a planet forms are unlikely to offer the adequate conditions for life to evolve. Therefor the chances for intelligent life to appear in a short span of time after a planet had formed are slim.

• The Universe is probably filled with habitable planets, so many scientists think it should be teeming with aliens,” said lead researcher Aditya Chopra from the Australian National University. “Early life is fragile, so we believe it rarely evolves quickly enough to survive.

Scientists highlighted that 4 billion years ago, Venus and Mars could had supported life, but more than a billion years after they formed, the temperatures changed so drastically that it could had wiped the entire life on the two planets.

 

The study further adds that our planet remains habitable because of its inhabitants stabilizing the environment. “Most early planetary environments are usable,” says Chopra. “To produce a habitable planet, life forms need to regulate greenhouse gases such as water and carbon dioxide to keep surface temperatures stable.”

 

Previous studies revealed that Earth maintained its evolutionary state due to a rapid growth of life that ultimately had a benevolent impact on the planet. During Earth’s early stages, the Sun was heating up with 25 percent less intensity. At this point, the oceans on our planet were frozen, but not entirely. The liquid water on the surface interacted with the frozen areas, impacting the radiation coming from the Sun, and ultimately determining the temperature on the surface.

 

 

•  In extremely rare cases – like on Earth – the relatively rapid evolution from single-to multicellular organisms to complex life forms did not produce enough greenhouse gases to cause runaway negative feedback and heat the planet enough to evaporate all its liquid water,” explains Campbell Simpson at Gizmodo.

If proven to be correct, this hypothesis may solve the dilemma of the Fermi paradox – If the Universe is so vast, encompassing trillions of life-sustaining stars and habitable planets, why haven’t we encountered any aliens so far?

• The mystery of why we haven’t yet found signs of aliens may have less to do with the likelihood of the origin of life or intelligence and have more to do with the rarity of the rapid emergence of biological regulation of feedback cycles on planetary surfaces,” concluded astronomer Charles Lineweaver.

If this theory is right, then chances of meeting other intelligent lifeforms in the galaxy are extremely unlikely. This thought should make us reflect more on the harmful impact we have on the environment, and eventually try to resolve this planetary crisis we find ourselves into before it’s too late.

 

Whatever the case, there is plenty of room left for speculation, and there is one theory claiming that advanced species of aliens (Type 3 on Kardashev scale) could be monitoring us until we reach a certain level of evolution. From that point, they will either reveal themselves to us, or send us into oblivion.
