Hillary Clinton tells 'alien abductee' national security could block UFO truth bid
Hillary Clinton tells 'alien abductee' national security could block UFO truth bid
US PRESIDENTIAL hopeful Hillary Clinton has conceded she may be blocked from revealing if the truth about alien visitations is "out there" if it is deemed to compromise national security.
Mrs Clinton, and her campaign manager John Podesta, have been claiming for months she will open the so-called top-secret X-Files if she makes it into the White House.
But, taking part in a radio talk show with a man who claims he was abducted by aliens, she accepted she could be blocked.
The Democrat frontrunner was campaigning in East Harlem, New York, when she took part in the Power 105.1 Breakfast Club.
Asked by one of the show's hosts, Lenard McKelvey - also known as Charlamagne the God - who believes he was abducted by aliens several times, if she would really deliver on her quest for truth about UFOs and the top-secret military base Area 51 in the Nevada desert, she said simply, “I am.”
However, she added a caveat that she will not be able to release any files that are closed due to national security.
She said: "I mean, if there’s some huge national security thing and I can’t get agreement to open them, I won’t, but I do want to open them because I’m interested.”
She was also pressed on whether she believes in aliens, adding: "I don’t know. I want to see what the information shows.
"But there are enough stories out there that I don’t think everybody is just sitting in their kitchen, making them up.
"I think that people see things. What they see, I don’t know. But we have got to try to give people information. I believe in that.”
The disclosure movement has long called for the release of all information about UFOs and alleged alien visitations from world governments, and is huge in the USA, where many sightings are reported.
It has led to some speculation Mrs Clinton may be just paying lip service to secure millions of voters across the country.
I mean, if there’s some huge national security thing and I can’t get agreement to open them, I won’t, but I do want to open them because I’m interested.
Hillary Clinton
Alejandro Rojas, editor and contributing writer for Open Minds magazine and OpenMinds.tv, said in an article about the radio show: "There has been a lot of debate as to why Clinton keeps discussing UFOs when asked.
"Typically, politicians gloss over the topic or make a joke of it. However, she has repeatedly answered confidently that she intends to look into the matter.
"The cynical view would be that Clinton has no interest in the topic, she is just pandering for the 'UFO vote'.”
But he said that politicians who previously dabbled in the issue had damaged their campaign, so she may have a genuine interest.
But, UFO expert Lee Speigel believes the “UFO vote” could number in the millions.
A 2012 National Geographic survey found 36 per cent of Americans believe extraterrestrials have visited Earth, while a staggering 80 per cent think the US government is covering this up for fear of the potential impact on society.
It isn’t a normal occurrence to hear someone say that she was abducted by aliens, but Valerie claims that she was, in fact, abducted by aliens some 20 years ago. Valerie recalls the night that she was abducted.
As Valerie visited Roy Dutton, author and UFO expert, in Torquay, she recalls that night she was abducted by aliens,Torquay Herald Express reports.
On the night of July 16, 1981, Valerie, 26, was driving home from Sheffield with her two friends, Rosemary and Vivienn.
It all began when Valerie and her friends saw a very bright light in the sky. Valerie discusses the details with Roy.
“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.”
After that moment, Valerie and the two others could not remember anything else until they were back in the car traveling the remainder of the way home. Valerie, Rosemary and Vivienn did report the alien abduction to the police station, however, they were simply laughed at.
Valerie told Roy that she heard a voice saying, “Don’t be afraid,” then all of a sudden she felt as if she was inside a vacuum.
“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.”
A funny turn to the story, Valerie said the female was very interested in her shoes and 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.”
Roy has his own opinion on the alien abduction.
“I believe they are possibly from a parallel universe, to me that seems to be the most reasonable explanation.”
UFO Case Book has a record of alien abduction cases dated back to the early 1950’s. One case, which took place in 2005, was a couple who was allegedly abducted by aliens and the woman, who was pregnant, lost her baby during the encounter.
The woman, Donna Lee, told Local 6 News that they had been abducted multiple times, one time included her fetus being taken by the aliens.
Donna drew a photo of the aliens and a hypnotist tried to recover memories of her alien abduction. Donna believes that they will eventually be abducted again.
Another case recorded was the 2005 alien abduction in Florida. This man, Thomas, claims that he was watching the news at 1 am when he had a sudden urge to go outside. When he went outside, he saw a very bright orange light above the pond in his back yard. Thomas explained what he saw and mentioned that the beautiful object just vanished.
What felt like a short moment was actually a couple hours. Thomas did not go back inside his home until 3:52 am. After his possible alien abduction, Thomas was very thirsty and couldn’t get enough water. He eventually vomited, had diarrhea and could not urinate.
A couple days later, Thomas discovered a tiny, red triangle on his chest, which had a burning sensation. When Thomas went to the doctor, he was informed of his elevated Triglycerides and his high risk of a stroke or heart attack, as well as his extremely low Electrolytes.
Do you believe in alien abductions? Roy already wrote one book on Valerie’s experience, and is in the process of writing a second book some 20 years after Valerie’s alien abduction experience.

Resultaten van een onderzoek naar een mysterieuze, sterk penetrerende straling uit de ruimt
Jan De Ceuster –BUFON-Publicatie 31.3.2016
Resultaten van een onderzoek naar een mysterieuze, sterk penetrerende straling uit de ruimte
De allereerste resultaten dateren ,naar mijn weten , van in de jaren ’90 .
Deze werden geformuleerd door Gregory Hodowanec van de G.H. Labs in Newark, N.J. , USA.
Het betreft hier experimenten waarbij het volgende werd waargenomen: opstellingen die sommige materialen bevatten met isolatiematerialen met hoge permeabiliteitswaarden waren gevoelig aan invloeden van fenomenen die zich ver weg in de ruimte afspeelden
Opmerkelijk hierbij was dat deze invloed ervan maximaal werd telkens de bron van de ze straling verscheen in zuidelijke richting voor de meridiaan van de waarnemingsplaats.
Na een ganse reeks metingen kwam Hodowanec tot de conclusie dat de ontvangen spanningspieken een maximum aan signaal vertoonden als bepaalde gebieden aan de hemel in het Zuiden verschenen. Verrassend was ook dat deze pieken zich steeds herhaalden om de 12h en 24 h . Dit verschijnsel trad op met steeds 4 minuten vertraging dag na dag wat een duidelijk aanwijzing was dat er een correlatie was met de draaiing van de aarde om zijn as en dat deze impulsen steeds uit dezelfde richtinguit de ruimte moesten toekomen.
Uiteindelijk bleek deze straling telkens samen te vallen met een aantal plaatsen in sterrenbeelden met zeer grote astronomische activiteit onder andere met restanten van explosies van sterren .
Vermits nu deze metingen op een eenvoudige wijze kunnen herhaald worden en door elke persoon met een basiskennis en wat electronica opleiding mogelijk is, was ik als gebeten door nieuwsgierigheid deze ook te herdoen en me te overtuigen van de juistheid van Hodowanec `s beweringen.
Erg skeptisch in den beginne heb ik het bewuste toestel nagebouwd om aan te tonen dat deze mysterieuze kon gedetecteerd wordenmet zo `n eenvoudige middelen .
Tot mijn grote verbazing was het resultaat van de eerste meetreeks een schot in de roos
De ontvangen pulssignalen waren ook op onze breedtegraad van 51°04`17 ´´ terug te brengen naar verschillende constellaties in onze Melkweg en ook zelfs daarbuiten.
In ons Melkwegstelsel was het centrum op een rechte klimming van 17h42 en ook een aantal andere open sterrenhopen met grote activiteit ,zoals de Crabnevel , de Orionnevel die zeer duidelijk terug te vinden waren.
Naast de bronnen in onze eigen Melkweg konden ook nog een aantal extra-galactische systemen gelokaliseerd worden zoals het dubbelstelsel M81/M82 op een rechte klimming van10h13 ; M31/M32 in Andromeda op 0h04 en M52 op 61° NB met een rechte klimming van 23h35.
De meetreeksen werden onlangs uitgevoerd van 19 Maart tot 25 Maart 2016 ,zowel s`nachts als overdag. De registratie gebeurde punt per punt elke minuut gedurende telkens 12h zonder onderbreking. Zie hierbijgevoegdeen meetresultaat van vroeger(2014) en van een aantal dagen onlangs (2016) uitgevoerd.
Conclusie:
De recent uitgevoerde meetreeks bevestigt de beweringen van Greg Hodowanec
Alle door hem te verwachten signaturen voor nova, supernova en zwaarte gaten zijn terug te vinden
Wat de door hem vooropgestelde cosmologie betreft zou de mysterieuze straling van scalaire gravitationele aard zijn, opgewekt door de catastrofale gebeurtenissen in het heelal.
In zijn betoog beweert Hodowanec dat de opgevangen straling van niet- electromagnetische aard zou zijn . Hij berust zich op het feit dat de intensiteit van het gemeten signaal binnen een Faraday kooi even groot is als erbuiten ,gegeven dat ook in mijn onderzoek geconstateerd is.
Deze bevindingen wijzen , volgens hem, in de richting van een scalair fenomeen dat op een volledig andere wijze zich zou laten voelen in de ganse ruimte .
De sterkte van het gemeten signaal is blijkbaar functie van de ligging van de bron ten opzichte van breedte graad van de waarnemingsplaats. Er is ook een verschil geconstateerd van hoe de instraling binnenvalt op de meetplaats .Het verschil in signaalsterkte voor het Melkwegcentrum tussen opnames dag of nacht is te verklaren dat niettegenstaande het centrum zichtbaar is boven de waarnemingshorizon en het signaalbron direct zichtbaar , het signaal toch zwakker is als een onrechtstreekse meting doorheen de aarde . Dit feit is blijkbaar functie van de parallelliteit van de signaal gradiënten van het invallend signaal en het verloop hiervan van de aardgravitatie ;
Dit alles wijst zeer sterk op een scalair karakter waar de sterkten van de signalen op een algebraïsche manier samen stellen wat een reden is het fenomeen als een scalair te beschouwen . Vanuit deze gegevens besluit Hodowanec dan ook dat de invloed aan gravitationele aard is.
Interview two: Inter-dimensional, extra-terrestrial or government projects?
Interview two: Inter-dimensional, extra-terrestrial or government projects?
Interview conducted by Jaime Ortega.
Nick Pope.
He is an author, journalist and broadcaster, who once ran the British Government’s UFO project and is now recognized as a leading authority on the unexplained, conspiracy theories and fringe science.
1) A lot of people have observed lights floating in the sky, some shaped like lines and dots; others proclaim to have observed unknown aircraft flying around visible sight – the government calls them black projects. Are such sightings real?
There’s no doubt that throughout human history people have seen strange things in the sky that they were unable to identify at the time. In this sense, these sightings are undeniably “real”. That said, most sightings turn out to be miss-identifications of ordinary objects and phenomena. On occasion, people have seen secret prototype aircraft or drones, and reported them as “UFOs”, but this doesn’t happen as often as some people might think, because these so-called black projects are normally tested in remote military areas, well away from public scrutiny.
2) In 2012 Kelton Research conducted a survey commissioned by National Geographic that showed that one out of ten Americans had personally witnesses a UFO. Many cases are observed all over the world. Do people that observe these crafts, are they delusional? Do they suffer from any mental condition?
A small proportion of UFO sightings are attributable to hoaxes or some sort of psychological or psychiatric factor, such as a delusion or hallucination. However, as stated previously, most sightings are miss-identifications, and in these cases, while the witnesses may not be identifying something correctly, they’re not delusional.
3) Area 51 in Nevada, nicknamed Dreamland is it really an installation run by government. How many are they?
Governments all around the world run various facilities, some secret and some not secret. There are few facilities quite on the scale of Area 51, but I don’t know how many similar facilities to this exist worldwide, and I probably couldn’t say so even if I knew, as information about such sites is usually highly classified.
4) Is there a difference between UFOs and military aircraft? (floating light vs physical powered object)
Some UFO sightings are generated by people seeing military aircraft, but this is only one of many, many different things that cause people to report UFO sightings. The UFO phenomenon is multi-faceted, and there’s no single, neat explanation that explains all of the sightings. This is a mystery with more than one explanation.
5) We know the universe is not infinite because it continues to expand at a greater speed than light. Astronomers have plotted the dimensions of the universe composed of 4% matter, and the remaining hypothetical dark energy and dark matter. The theory of evolution holds grown in the mainstream scientific community, but mathematically wise, what are the chances of evolution occurring in other galaxies?
Wherever life might arise, elsewhere in the Universe, I strongly suspect that evolution by natural selection will occur. I think this will turn out to be a ‘universal law’, in the same sense as the unalterable laws of mathematics.
6) SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) has never received radio signals from outer-space that support the idea that life exist outside of planet earth. Do we have any hard evidence to back the existence of UFOs or is it based on highly speculative assumptions?
We do not yet have any ‘smoking gun’ in relation to UFOs. In other words, there is no definitive proof that any sightings are attributable to extraterrestrial activity. Having said that, there are many unexplained UFO sightings with intriguing evidence in terms of reliable eyewitness testimony, radar data, and photographic and video imagery. As for SETI, their search is based on sound scientific assumptions, and while they have been unsuccessful to date, there is no reason why they might not be successful in the future. Indeed, this is increasingly likely as the next generation of radio telescopes become operational.
7) There are a few problems with the ETH (extraterrestrial theory). Physics shows it is impossible for any mass composed by atoms to reach the speed of light (186.000 miles per second). Even if they reached SL travel, coming from another galaxy would take them at least two million years to get to planet earth —- the closest star system Alpha Centaury is 4.5 LY from earth and there is no evidence of life there– strangely most UFO’s observed are small and not massive showing different forms and shapes. Some estimates indicate that a space ship carrying ten people travelling five LY’s from a nearby star at almost the speed of light would use up 500.000 times the total amount of energy consumed in the US in one year; also, an equal amount of energy would be consumed just in slowing down the spacecraft from the incredible speed at which it was travelling – for larger craft like the massive spacecraft shown in the movie Independence Day, it would use an staggering amount of energy. But physicist contend that to accelerate to the actual SL it is impossible because it would require infinite energy. Also changing direction in speed at such high speeds could obliterate any spacecraft given the amount of energy required to change direction while moving. Another problem is that reaching great travel speed in space would be very dangerous. It has been estimated that there are 100.000 dust particles per-cubic meter in space. Travelling at SL, an impact with even one of these tiny dust particles would destroy a spaceship – at one-tenth the speed of light, the impact would be equal to an explosion of almost ten tons of TNT. The last problem encountered, is that if these aliens have biological bodies, in space they would be exposed by extreme heat and freezing conditions – not to mention exposure to Gamma Rays, and Cosmic Rays constantly travelling through space which could instantly kill any biological organism. So with all the examples given above, what is the likelihood of UFO’s to be of extraterrestrial origin?
We should always remember that when we talk about the laws of physics, we talk about them as they are currently understood. But our understanding changes all the time as a result of the scientific process of postulating new theories and then validating them through experimentation. We see this happening, for example, at CERN. So we should be wary of saying that things are “impossible” in terms of the laws of physics. However, even if faster-than-light travel is genuinely impossible, it does not rule out the ETH, if we get away from the idea of piloted vehicles. Humans have designed and built craft (e.g. the Voyager and Pioneer probes) that will eventually traverse interstellar distances. So a civilization at only our own technological level, but which started its space program a few hundred thousand or perhaps a few million years before us (hardly inconceivable in a Universe nearly 14 billion years old), could already have seeded large parts of our galaxy with such probes.
8) Some ufologist claim that many objects observed travelling in the sky violate the laws of known physics. Objects that reach speeds of 50,000 MPH. Some objects suddenly make 90 degree turns in mid-air travelling nearly at 25,000 MPH. These object make no physical noise, and unlike aircraft or known space craft, make no sonic booms. Most of the objects cannot be picked up by radar, but some have. Sometimes show up on photographs, but other times do not. Many change colors many times only when accelerating, with virtually every color of the spectrum reported. Many times UFO’s instantly appear and disappear in front of people and they will pass through physical objects; people have also observed multiple UFO’s merged with other UFO’s, and into one UFO, and one UFO turn into many UFOs. What is your take on this?
Again, this shows the multi-faceted nature of the phenomenon. We are almost certainly dealing with a variety of different things here. A few reports are completely fabricated (i.e. they are hoaxes), or the product of some sort of delusion. Others will be attributable to people seeing secret prototype aircraft or drones. But other sightings may be misidentifications of meteors, fireballs, satellites, mirages, weather balloons, or any number of other meteorological, atmospheric or astronomical phenomena. So the variety of speeds, accelerations and other factors reported does not surprise me.
9) Gordon Creighton editor of the Flying Saucer Review, and recognized as the UFO leading publication said in 1996, before he died that. “There seems to be no evidence yet that any of these crafts or beings originate from outer space” – a position later adopted by Dr. Jacques Vallee a computer scientist and astrophysics a leading expert on the subject . Do you agree?
The extraterrestrial hypothesis is only one competing theory among many. Even among those people who support a non-conventional explanation for the UFO phenomenon there are competing theories, e.g. the idea that some UFO sightings may be attributable to inter-dimensional or inter-temporal phenomena of some sort. I think there’s some intriguing evidence pointing towards non-conventional explanations in some cases, but as I said previously, we don’t yet have any definitive proof.
10) There is growing speculation that UFO’s are not extraterrestrial in origin, but more likely inter-dimensional entities. Many have abandoned the ETH for the IDH hypothesis — do you agree?
This is certainly a theory that is gaining popularity at present, though in a sense this theory is no more or no less speculative than the ETH. That said, with scientists at CERN discussing the search for so-called ‘hidden’ dimensions, it is tempting to remind ourselves that today’s science fiction is sometimes tomorrow’s science fact.
11) According to the “Roper poll” nearly 4 million American’s have suffered an alien abduction. Is the number of alien cited abductions growing in America and worldwide?
Though well-intentioned, this Roper poll was based on some erroneous reasoning. Essentially, it was designed to identify people who had experienced a number of things previously reported by people who believe they have been abducted by aliens, e.g. a period of so-called “missing time”. But such reasoning is flawed, because there are numerous prosaic reasons why people may believe they have experienced missing time, including falling asleep, having a poor memory, or simply not being very good at estimating the time. The other factors that the poll was looking for are also ones for which there are various conventional explanations.
12) Is it true that those who been abducted claim to have had sexual experimentation, face to face contact, translucent apparitions, predictions of catastrophic events including performing tasks? Is this true or imaginary?
All of these things have been reported, but we don’t know how much of this is attributable to hoaxes, dreams, hallucinations, or distorted memories caused by regression hypnosis. As with UFO sightings, while most of the claims may be made by people who genuinely believe the events happened as reported, we can’t be sure that this is what actually happened. In other words, people may be essentially truthful, but mistaken about what they have actually experienced.
13) Is it true that alien abductees are given speeches of new age philosophy by their captors? What is there message?
These ‘messages’ are actually quite clichéd. Interestingly, they seem to reflect contemporary concerns popular in the media and in wider society. Currently, environmental issues are mentioned a lot, and previously, concerns seemed to be predominantly about nuclear war. This is an important clue, I think, that these ‘messages’ actually come from within ourselves, and not from extraterrestrials.
14) Many people claim that aliens ask abductees to enter a state of trance to communicate with them?
Again, I think this is a clue that these experiences may come from within ourselves, and are the product of our imaginations. The idea of some form of telepathic communication is something one sees a lot in science fiction, and if abductees are reporting this, it may be that people are incorporating expectations (inspired by sci-fi) of what aliens will do into their narrative.
15) The following quotes brought by experts on the subject explain there is a strong relationship between alien abduction and poltergeist and demonic possessions in the past.
-Gordon Creighton, Official 1992 Flying Saucer Review Policy Statement “A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with mysticism and the metaphysical. It deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities as well as phenomena like poltergeist [ghost] manifestation and ‘possession.’ Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomena.”
– Lynn E. Catoe, UFOs and Related Subjects: USGPO, 1969; prepared under AFOSR Project Order 67-0002 and 68-0003 “UFO behaviour is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it… the modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical.”
-Dr. Pierre Guerin, FSR Vol. 25, No. 1, p. 13-14 “The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon…”
– John A. Keel, UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse, p. 299 “A working knowledge of occult science…is indispensable to UFO investigation.”
-Trevor James, FSR Vol. 8, No. 1, p.10 “Studies of flying saucer cults repeatedly show that they are part of a larger occult social world.”
-Stupple & McNeece, 1979 MUFON UFO Symposium Proceedings, p. 49 “The ‘medical examination’ to which abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with demons. It makes no sense in a sophisticated or technical framework: any intelligent being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks.”
– Dr. Jacques Vallee, Confrontations, p. 13 “The symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of initiation ritual or astral voyage that is embedded in the [occult] traditions of every culture…the structure of abduction stories is identical to that of occult initiation rituals…the UFO beings of today belong to the same class of manifestation as the [occult] entities that were described in centuries past.”
-Dr. Jacques Vallee citing the extensive research of Bertrand Meheust [ Science-Fiction et Soucoupes Volantes (Paris, 1978); Soucoupes Volantes et Folklore (Paris, 1985)], in Confrontations, p. 146, 159-161 “[The occultist] is brought into intelligent communication with the spirits of the air, and can receive any knowledge which they possess, or any false impression they choose to impart…the demons seem permitted to do various wonders at their request.”
– G.H. Pember, Earth’s Earliest Ages and Their Connection with Modern Spiritualism and Theosophy (1876), p. 254 “These entities are clever enough to make Streiber think they care about him. Yet his torment by them never ceases. Whatever his relationship to the entities, and he increasingly concludes that their involvement with him is something ‘good,’ he also remains terrified of them and uncertain as to what they are.”
– John Ankerberg, The Facts on UFOs and Other Supernatural Phenomena, p. 21 “I became entirely given over to extreme dread. The fear was so powerful that it seemed to make my personality completely evaporate… ‘Whitley’ ceased to exist. What was left was a body and a state of raw fear so great that it swept about me like a thick, suffocating curtain, turning paralysis into a condition that seemed close to death…I died and a wild animal appeared in my place.”
– Whitley Streiber, Communion, p. 25-26 “Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that might even be more than life and death. It might be a struggle for my soul, my essence, or whatever part of me might have reference to the eternal. There are worse things than death, I suspected… so far the word demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me…Alone at night I worried about the legendary cunning of demons …At the very least I was going stark, raving mad.”
– Whitley Streiber, Transformation, p. 44-45 “I wondered if I might not be in the grip of demons, if they were not making me suffer for their own purposes, or simply for their enjoyment.”
Others claim a smell of sulfur is present within their abduction also identical with demonic possessions and poltergeist. What is your opinion of such controversy?
I’m certainly aware that some people regard UFOs as demonic, often on the basis of the Biblical description of Satan as being “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). Irrespective of what one believes, I don’t think one should ignore this aspect, because as long as some people think any of this is true, it’s relevant, on the basis that one’s personal background, culture and belief system is likely to play a role in how anomalous events (or events that people believe to be anomalous) are perceived and interpreted. Personally, I’m an atheist, and I believe that it’s better to examine claims of anomalous phenomena using science and reason, not fear and superstition.
16) Any final thoughts?
Some of my answers may sound as if I’m overly skeptical about this phenomenon. While this may be the case, I should point out that I certainly don’t dismiss any of this out of hand. It’s certainly a subject that merits more serious, scientific research and investigation than is currently the case. And finally, as I often like to remind people, the skeptics have to be right every day, but the believers only have to be right once!

Op korte termijn - binnen de vijf jaar - schuilt het gevaar onder meer in gemanipuleerde virussen en superbacteriën, in klimaatverandering en extreme droogte, in inslaande asteroïdes en supervulkaanuitbarstingen. Dat stelt hetGlobal Catastrophice Risks-verslag, waaraan onder meer wetenschappers van de universiteit van Oxford en van het Global Priorities Project meewerkten. Zij sommen de risico's op die de menselijke populatie op onze planeet mogelijk kunnen decimeren. Anders gezegd: wereldrampen waarbij minstens 740 miljoen mensen zouden omkomen.
De pest Elke generatie acht de kans klein dat het háár zal overkomen, maar denkbeeldig zijn de gevaren lang niet. Zo wijzen de wetenschappers erop dat amper een eeuw geleden in 1918 de Spaanse griep het leven kostte aan miljoenen mensen. En ook een ziekte als de pest is vandaag nog altijd niet uitgeroeid; de laatste pandemie dateert van eind negentiende eeuw.
Bovendien kwamen we vorige eeuw een paar keer dicht bij een nucleaire oorlog, stelt het rapport, dat vindt dat overheden te weinig aandacht besteden aan mogelijke wereldwijde catastrofes. Nochtans bedreigen ze niet alleen ieders leven vandaag, maar ook dat van toekomstige generaties, klinkt het. Een krachtige variant van de vogelgriep, bijvoorbeeld, kan op relatief korte tijd miljoenen mensen doden.
Artificiële intelligentie Op langere termijn hangen niet enkel de klimaatverandering, pandemieën en atoomoorlogen als een zwaard van Damocles boven ons hoofd, maar ook de opkomst van artificiële intelligentie baart academici zorgen. "Er is geen specifieke reden om aan te nemen dat de mens het toppunt van de schepping is", zegt Sebastian Farquhar van het Global Priorities Project. "Het lijkt aannemelijk dat bepaalde AI-systemen ergens in de toekomst de mens systematisch zullen wegconcurreren." Het doembeeld van Frankenstein, zeg maar. Farquhar waarschuwt er tevens voor dat terreurgroepen zoals IS via biotechnologie hun eigen virussen zouden kunnen fabriceren om op de mensheid los te laten.
Volgens Farquhar is een coördinatie op internationale schaal nodig om al deze risico's het hoofd te bieden. "We mogen zeker niet vergeten dat die gevaren geen halt houden aan de landsgrenzen en rustig de paspoortcontroles afwachten. Ze hebben van nature uit een globaal karakter. Dit is niet het soort problemen waarvan een land kan zeggen: "Oké, wij zijn voorbereid, dat de rest van de wereld het zelf oplost'. Dat hebben we gezien met de ebolacrisis."
VIDEORuimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft indrukwekkende beelden vrijgegeven van een zonnevlam die zich voordeed op 17 april.
De beelden werden gemaakt door NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, een ruimtesonde die de zon voortdurend observeert om wetenschappers te helpen begrijpen wat uitbarstingen als deze veroorzaakt.
Zonnevlammen zijn krachtige uitbarstingen van straling. De straling die bij zo'n vlam vrijkomt is schadelijk, maar wordt tegengehouden door de atmosfeer van de aarde, zodat het leven op onze planeet er niet door getroffen wordt. Indien de vlam intens genoeg is, kan ze wel de atmosfeer verstoren op het niveau van GPS- en communicatiesignalen.
De zonnevlam op deze beelden was van een matige sterkte en zorgde volgens NASA enkel voor een korte radiostoring.

THIS MYSTERIOUS OBJECT FROM EARTH’S DISTANT PAST HAS JUST RETURNED
THIS MYSTERIOUS OBJECT FROM EARTH’S DISTANT PAST HAS JUST RETURNED
A first-of-its-kind space rock filled with pristine material from the formation of the Earth itself has returned to the inner solar system, after billions of years in the cosmic boondocks. And it could help us piece together our planet’s origin story.
Four and a half billion years ago, chunks of the same material that formed Earth and the other rocky planets are thought to have been flung into the Oort cloud, a ring of icy debris encircling the outermost edge of the solar system. Untouched, they’ve been preserved for eons in the deep freeze of space. Now, astronomers have spotted one of these fossils nearby, marking the very first observation of a rocky object from the Oort cloud.
“This is super exciting, because it could be a piece of what formed the Earth” Olivier Hainaut—an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory and co-author on the new Science Advances study describing the discovery—told Gizmodo.
The object, dubbed PANSTARRS, was spotted in 2014 by Pan-STARRS1, a Hawaiian telescope used to identify rogue comets and asteroids in our planet’s backyard. The telescope routinely surveys the entire sky and turns up thousands of uninteresting hunks of debris. But as soon as PANSTARRS’ orbit had been calculated, Hainaut and his colleagues realized they had found something exceptional.
The shape of the orbit was indicative of a long period comet—an icy body that fell into the inner solar system from the Oort cloud. But as comets from the Oort cloud hurl toward the Sun, they release a long tail of sublimating ice and dust. This one didn’t.
Curious, the astronomers decided to take a closer look using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. And things got even stranger. By studying the faint light reflected off PANSTARRS, Hainaut and his colleagues learned that it is not filled with ice at all, but with rocky material. In terms of composition, it’s a classic S-type asteroid, similar to those found main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
“If you’d shown me the spectrum, I would have just said this is another stupid asteroid,” Hainaut said. “If you showed me the orbit, I’d say yea, it’s a standard long-period comet. But you don’t at all expect to find a rocky asteroid on an Oort cloud orbit. That’s wrong.”
One possible explanation is that an asteroid was flung into the Oort cloud somewhat recently, before falling back toward the inner solar system. But it soon became apparent that this wasn’t the case.
“When we observed it very carefully, its spectrum showed that the rocks hadn’t been baked by the Sun,” Hainaut explained. “They’re primordial.”
Eventually, the astronomers concluded that PANSTARRS was formed in the inner solar system long ago, before being ejected into the Oort cloud as the rocky planets themselves were coalescing. That makes it a potential building block of Earth, Venus, Mercury, or Mars
“This one is the first uncooked asteroid we have found: it has been preserved in the best freezer there is,” lead study author Karen Meech of the University of Hawaii said in a statement.
PANSTARRS HAS CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION READ MORE:
Now that PANSTARRS has caught our attention, astronomers are hoping to find more objects like it. There are several competing theories about how the solar system formed, and they predict different ratios of icy to rocky objects in the Oort cloud. “Depending on how the planets migrated, the number of rocky planetesimals in the Oort cloud will change dramatically,” Hainaut said. “Just by counting these objects up and doing statistics, we can say which theories are completely wrong and which ones survive.”
PANSTARRS has already made its closest approach to the Sun, and it’s now on its way back to the outer solar system. But if we get lucky, one of its cousins may whiz even closer to Earth, allowing astronomers to get a detailed look at its composition. This could lend insight into the exact conditions under which our planet was formed. Our history is flying around out there, and if we’re patient enough, we’ll find it
Een jongeman, woonachtig in midden Nederland, loopt vorige week op een avond met een tas lege flessen naar de glasbak om die daar te deponeren.
Enkele uren later word hij wakker op een verlaten parkeerplaats en kan zich helemaal niets meer herinneren.
In de loop der jaren zijn op deze website talloze verhalen gepubliceerd van mensen die mogelijk slachtoffer zijn geworden van een buitenaardse ontvoering.
Een veel voorkomend kenmerk daarbij is dat mensen tijd “kwijt zijn”. Een bepaalde periode waarover ze geen herinnering hebben. Vaak zijn ze daarna verward en hebben geen flauw idee wat hen is overkomen.
Enkele dagen geleden gebeurde er iets dergelijks in ons land en wellicht hebben we hier te maken met een dergelijke ontvoering.
Hier volgt het verhaal van de moeder van het slachtoffer (dank!):
Vorige week werden we (mijn man en ik) om 12.15 uur 's nachts gebeld door de vriendin van onze zoon.
Hij was niet thuis,en ze had hem om 19.30 uur nog aan de telefoon gehad,(zij moest nog een paar uur werken). Hij zou nog even glas naar de glasbak brengen en verder de avond thuis zijn.
Ze kwam om 21.15 thuis en hij was nergens te bekennen. Het vreemde was: de auto stond voor de deur en zijn sleutels lagen op tafel. Tig keer heeft ze geprobeerd hem te bellen. Niets.
Belt alle vrienden en niemand weet iets.
Die sleutels op tafel vonden we verontrustend. Meteen in de auto gestapt en naar haar toe. Daar aangekomen blijkt hij net thuis gekomen.
Vertelt dat hij zojuist wakker was geworden op een verlaten parkeerplaats, niet ver van huis. Hij zag er verward uit en ik vroeg of hij iets van drugs had gebruikt. Nee dus.
Hij moest steeds huilen, snapte er niets van.
We besluiten een reconstructie te doen.
Met z'n allen naar de glas verzamelplaats. Hij herinnert zich daar geweest te zijn. De zak met glas lag daar ook nog. Weet zich vaag te herinneren dat hij terug naar huis liep. Dan houdt het op.
Dan wil hij ons laten zien waar hij wakker was geworden. Inderdaad erg achteraf. Hij loopt waggelend en blijft wazig.
Zijn vriendin oppert: slaapwandelen. Dat is een keer eerder gebeurd. Maar dan gewoon thuis.
Ik heb overal op internet gezocht maar echt nergens een melding of voorbeeld van slaapwandelen dat vier en een half uur heeft geduurd. De volgende dag realiseerde ik me de mogelijkheid van ontvoering. Ik heb het altijd heel logisch gevonden, en dacht altijd : tuurlijk, kan best. Maar toen ik me realiseerde dat dat met mijn zoon gebeurd zou kunnen zijn, was het van: Tuurlijk niet! Belachelijk!.
Tot op vandaag, weet hij niet wat er gebeurd is. Zouden jullie ons duidelijkheid kunnen en willen verschaffen? We zijn behoorlijk geschrokken en zoals je weet: je kunt bij niemand terecht met dit idee.
Deze gebeurtenis vond plaats op donderdag 21 april 2016 in het Gooi. Wij ontvingen nog de volgende aanvullende informatie:
Hij heeft niet echt zijn lichaam onderzocht, maar had wel en klein wondje aan zijn hand. Maar dat kan echt álles betekenen.
Hij heeft absoluut geen herinneringen en verwacht zelf niet dat dat nog zal komen. Aan zijn kleren was niets opmerkelijks te zien, alleen lag zijn GSM naast hem toen hij wakker werd.
Maar het kan natuurlijk zo zijn dat hij op een gegeven moment de telefoon voelde trillen en uit zijn zak heeft gehaald. Maar geen enkele oproep had hij beantwoord. En het was vorige week donderdag avond/nacht.
Mochten er mensen zijn die op die op 21 april 2016 iets merkwaardigs hebben waargenomen ergens in of rondom het Gooi dan horen wij het graag. Ook mensen die een suggestie hebben wat hier mogelijk aan de hand zou kunnen zijn.
WEER MEER VREEMDE ZAKEN IN YELLOWSTONE PARK, USA ( VIDEO )
WEER MEER VREEMDE ZAKEN IN YELLOWSTONE PARK, USA ( VIDEO )
De laatste weken is dit beroemde park in Amerika wederom regelmatig in het nieuws omdat er vreemde dingen gebeuren.
Daar bovenop nieuwe beelden die erop wijzen dat er rondom Yellowstone Park druk UFO-verkeer aanwezig is.
Ongeveer een week geleden schreven wij het volgende over een onbekend object wat in Yellowstone Park uit de lucht viel:
Als er iets door de lucht vliegt of op de grond neervalt wat we niet kunnen identificeren, spreken wij van een UFO, unidentified flying object.
Volgens die definitie is het zeker een UFO die enkele dagen geleden neerkwam in het beroemde park en niet ver van de supervulkaan.
Of het inderdaad een UFO was in de zin van een buitenaards ruimtevaartuig is nog maar de vraag, alhoewel sommige mensen ervan overtuigd zijn dat dit object bewust in het park is gecrasht.
In hetzelfde artikel ook berichten over een mogelijke False Flag aanval op het park met de bedoeling om bewust een explosie te veroorzaken.
Op 16 april ontdekt zij een vreemde lichtflits, net boven één van de geisers.
In de video hieronder is de lichtflits te zien op 1 minuut en 7 seconden. Het gaat heel snel, maar je ziet toch ook dat het iets nogal merkwaardigs is.
Er wordt nu gespeculeerd dat dit wellicht een UFO is, omdat het aantal waarnemingen in en rondom het park de laatste tijd aanzienlijk is toegenomen. Daarnaast omdat in de praktijk blijkt dat UFO’s worden aangetrokken door vulkanen en onweerswolken. In feite is ook Yellowstone niets anders dan een enorme vulkaan en is dat wat UFO’s klaarblijkelijk nodig hebben. Ze gebruiken de energie voor hun voertuigen en/of voor dimensieportalen zo lijkt het.
Dezelfde dame heeft op 26 april nog iets merkwaardigs ontdekt in het park. Weer zijn het beelden van de webcam, maar nu ’s nachts.
Je ziet dan ook niet veel, alleen op een gegeven moment een heel vreemd licht dat zich langzaam van rechts naar links over het scherm beweegt.
Vooralsnog heeft niemand een logische verklaring voor wat dit zou kunnen zijn en al met al lijkt het raadzaam om voorlopig het Yellowstone Park in de gaten te houden, want er gebeuren toch wel vreemde dingen.

UFO At Space Station Close Up On Camera, April 29, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Below photo is in NEGATIVE format. Shows its a solid object.
Date of sighting: April 29, 2016 Location of sighting: Earths orbit at space station The space station is an awesome place to try to catch a UFO. You got the back drop of space or Earth and the space station,which makes it even more amazing in its beauty. This UFO was caught by Streetcap1 of Youtube yesterday. It moves closer to get a view of the solar panel moving, then it changes its mind and begins to move backwards where it came from. Kinda cool, with amazing colors. Nice one byStreetcap1. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Hi ken: It was a cloudy night and I was looking at the moon through a break in the clouds. I then spotted a white light that was way off in the distance and was to big to be a star. At first I thought it was the international space station but the white light then began to move so I knew it couldn’t be the international space station. Also there were no signs of light beacons so I ruled it out as being a plane or helicopter. Furthermore there was no sound at all. I then zoomed into the white light with my Sony HX300 and could clearly see that it was changing shape. I started taking photographs.
In the first photograph the object looks like an F. In the rest of the photographs the white light takes on some other bizarre shapes. I took eight photographs before the white light shot off into the distance and out of sight. The photographs were taken on 24th of April 2016, at Newton Abbot Devon UK. Have a great week my friend.
KENS NOTE: This area in the United Kingdom is swarming with alien craft. John Mooner, my World UFO Photos researcher has taken hundreds of very strange and clear images of this area. The above alien craft photos were taken from very high altitudes in our atmosphere. I feel these craft are usually flying at higher altitudes so it make it very hard to see them with the naked eye. If you are sky watching for UFO’s, make sure you have a good telescope or pair of binoculars that you can attach a camera too .
Wat leeft er in deze extreme warmtebron in Ethiopië?
Wat leeft er in deze extreme warmtebron in Ethiopië?
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Voor het eerst is er in Ethiopië uitgebreid onderzoek gedaan naar één van meest extreme plekken op aarde: de Danakil Depressie.
Deze bijzondere plek in Ethiopië is zeer kleurrijk. Dat komt door de hoge zoutconcentraties. Daarnaast bubbelt er – van onder de grond – water omhoog dat qua temperatuur tegen het kookpunt zit. Chloor- en zwaveldampen vullen de lucht. “Het is een geweldige, maar onherbergzame plaats,” vertelt onderzoeker Felipe Gómez Gómez. “Overdag is het er 42 graden Celsius en ’s nachts 30 graden en de chloordampen branden in je luchtwegen.”
DE DANAKIL DEPRESSIE
De Danakil Depressie is een vulkanisch gebied in Ethiopië, nabij de grens met Eritrea. Het gebied ligt zo’n 100 meter onder zeeniveau en magma stroomt er heel dicht langs het oppervlak. Regenwater en zeewater van de nabijgelegen kust wordt door het magma opgewarmd en naar het oppervlak gedreven en brengen verschillende zouten met zich mee.
Expeditie Gómez Gómez kan het weten. Hij leidde heel recent een expeditie naar het onherbergzame gebied. “Er zijn maar heel weinig wetenschappelijke publicaties over het gebied en geen biologische beschrijvingen, dus we verkennen wetenschappelijk gezien echt een nieuw gebied.”
Astrobiologen De expeditie – die eerder deze maand plaatsvond – had een aantal doeleinden. Zo wilden de onderzoekers de geologie van het gebied in kaart brengen. Daarnaast wilden ze achterhalen of in dit gebied leven mogelijk is. “Elk micro-organisme dat hier leeft, zal een extreme microbe zijn die van enorm belang is voor astrobiologen (biologen die zich bezighouden met leven op andere hemellichamen, red.),” stelt Gómez Gómez.

Resultaten De resultaten van de expeditie worden op dit moment nog geanalyseerd, maar de onderzoekers hebben in ieder geval ontdekt dat de Danakil Depressie zeker drie extreme ecosystemen telt die ons mogelijk meer kunnen vertellen over hoe het leven op andere planeten en manen ontstaat.
Uit nader onderzoek zal moeten blijken welke materialen er in het gebied te vinden zijn, welke bacteriën er aanwezig zijn en welke plekken het meest interessant zijn voor astrobiologen. “We beginnen nu met het analyseren van onze monsters en plannen een vervolgreis voor over een paar maanden.”

Planet X-Binary System Enters Earth's Orbit, Government Suppresses Evidence
Planet X-Binary System Enters Earth's Orbit, Government Suppresses Evidence
With rampant earth and climate events occurring on a global scale, mankind is facing trying times. The events that are unfolding are the early signs of the tribulation that will occur on this planet, as the Earth enters into the orbit of the Planet X-binary star system.
The mainstream media and scientific institutions are working hard to avoid having the public see the “big picture” all at once, and are therefore consistently suppressing valuable scientific data and the evidence to substantiate the existence of a rogue planet system orbiting our solar system.
Below a detailed report of actual and on-going (natural and man-made) earth and climate events which occur on a global scale.

Zap! This Awesome Laser-Armed Telescope Is Fully Operational (Photos)
Zap! This Awesome Laser-Armed Telescope Is Fully Operational (Photos)
By Tariq Malik, Space.com Managing Editor
Move over Death Star, there's a new laser-toting installation in town, and this one will give astronomers a better view of galaxies far, far away.
These spectacular views of lasers firing up into the cosmos come from the European Southern Observatory in Chile's Atacama Desert, where scientists activated the new Four Laser Guide Star Facility for the first time this week. The laser system, which switched on Tuesday (April 26), is part of an advanced new adaptive optics system on ESO's Very Large Telescope at the Paranal Observatory.
Adaptive optics systems allow telescopes to adjust the shape of their mirrors to filter out the blurring effects of Earth's atmosphere. The new Four Laser Guide Star Facility, which ESO touted as the most powerful of its kind in the world, fires four 22-watt lasers into the upper atmosphere, where they hit sodium atoms and make them glow like artificial guide stars to serve as a reference for the VLT's adaptive optics system.
"The artificial stars allow the adaptive optics systems to compensate for the blurring caused by the Earth's atmosphere, so that the telescope can create sharp images," ESO representatives wrote in an image description. "Using more than one laser allows the turbulence in the atmosphere to be mapped in far greater detail, to significantly improve the image quality over a larger field of view.
ESO representatives said the techniques developed to build the Four Laser Guide Star Facility will inform work on the adaptive optics system for a giant new telescope, the European Extremely Large Telescope, which is slated to begin operations in Chile in 2024. ESO officials billed the new telescope, with its 128-foot (39-meter) main mirror, as "the world's biggest eye on the sky."
Is our universe unique? From science fiction to science fact, there is a proposal out there that suggests that there could be other universes besides our own, where all the choices you made in this life played out in alternate realities. So, instead of turning down that job offer that took you from the United States to China, the alternate universe would show the outcome if you decided to venture to Asia instead.
The idea is pervasive in comic books and movies. For example, in the 2009 "Star Trek" reboot, the premise is that the Kirk and Spock portrayed by Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are in an alternate timeline apart from the William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy versions of the characters.
The concept is known as a "parallel universe," and is a facet of the astronomical theory of the multiverse. There actually is quite a bit of evidence out there for a multiverse. First, it is useful to understand how our universe is believed to have come to be.
Arguing for a multiverse
Around 13.7 billion years ago, simply speaking, everything we know of in the cosmos was an infinitesimal singularity. Then, according to theBig Bang theory, some unknown trigger caused it to expand and inflate in three-dimensional space. As the immense energy of this initial expansion cooled, light began to shine through. Eventually, the small particles began to form into the larger pieces of matter we know today, such as galaxies, stars and planets.
One big question with this theory is: are we the only universe out there. With our current technology, we are limited to observations within this universe because the universe is curved and we are inside the fishbowl, unable to see the outside of it (if there is an outside.)
1. We don't know what the shape of space-time is exactly. One prominent theory is that it is flat and goes on forever. This would present the possibility of many universes being out there. But with that topic in mind, it's possible that universes can start repeating themselves. That's because particles can only be put together in so many ways. More about that in a moment.
2. Another theory for multiple universes comes from "eternal inflation." Based on research from Tufts University cosmologist Alexander Vilenkin, when looking at space-time as a whole, some areas of space stop inflating like the Big Bang inflated our own universe. Others, however, will keep getting larger. So if we picture our own universe as a bubble, it is sitting in a network of bubble universes of space. What's interesting about this theory is the other universes could have very different laws of physics than our own, since they are not linked.
3. Or perhaps multiple universes can follow the theory of quantum mechanics (how subatomic particles behave), as part of the "daughter universe" theory. If you follow the laws of probability, it suggests that for every outcome that could come from one of your decisions, there would be a range of universes — each of which saw one outcome come to be. So in one universe, you took that job to China. In another, perhaps you were on your way and your plane landed somewhere different, and you decided to stay. And so on.
4. Another possible avenue is exploring mathematical universes, which, simply put, explain that the structure of mathematics may change depending in which universe you reside. "A mathematical structure is something that you can describe in a way that's completely independent of human baggage," said theory-proposer Max Tegmark of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as quoted in the 2012 article. "I really believe that there is this universe out there that can exist independently of me that would continue to exist even if there were no humans."
5. And last but not least as the idea of parallel universes. To go back to the idea that space-time is flat, the number of possible particle configurations in multiple universes would be limited to 10^10^122 distinct possibilities, to be exact. So, with an infinite number of cosmic patches, the particle arrangements within them must repeat — infinitely many times over. This means there are infinitely many "parallel universes": cosmic patches exactly the same as ours (containing someone exactly like you), as well as patches that differ by just one particle's position, patches that differ by two particles' positions, and so on down to patches that are totally different from ours.
Arguing against a parallel universe
Not everyone agrees with the parallel universe theory, however. A 2015 article on Medium by astrophysicist Ethan Siegal agreed that space-time could go on forever in theory, but said that there are some limitations with that idea.
The key problem is the universe is just under 14 billion years old. So our universe's age itself is obviously not infinite, but a finite amount. This would (simply put) limit the number of possibilities for particles to rearrange themselves, and sadly make it less possible that your alternate self did get on that plane after all to see China.
Also, the expansion at the beginning of the universe took place exponentially because there was so much "energy inherent to space itself," he said. But over time, that inflation obviously slowed — those particles of matter created at the Big Bang are not continuing to expand, he pointed out. Among his conclusions: that means that multiverses would have different rates of inflation and different times (longer or shorter) for inflation. This decreases the possibilities of universes similar to our own.
"Even setting aside issues that there may be an infinite number of possible values for fundamental constants, particles and interactions, and even setting aside interpretation issues such as whether the many-worlds-interpretation actually describes our physical reality," Siegal said, "the fact of the matter is that the number of possible outcomes rises so quickly — so much faster than merely exponentially — that unless inflation has been occurring for a truly infinite amount of time, there are no parallel universes identical to this one."
But rather than seeing this lack of other universes as a limitation, Siegal instead takes the philosophy that it shows how important it is to celebrate being unique. He advises to make the choices that work for you, which "leave you with no regrets." That's because there are no other realities where the choices of your dream self play out; you, therefore, are the only person that can make those choices happen.
On devine une petite silhouette de 3 à 4 cm de hauteur
Cette silhouette correspond bien à de petits personnages ou statuettes déjà observées auparavant, avec l'hypothèse d'une ancienne race de martien de très petite taille !
On peut deviner en zoomant à 500 une tête allongée, un thorax muni d'un vêtement, un bras et deux jambes avec bottes; les mains semblent être gantées.
A gauche de la silhouette on imagine un pont de pierre qui mène vers une allée sableuse longeant sur la gauche un mur de pierre en strates.
