Dark Journalist Unravels the Mystery of Offworld Secrecy and UFO Technology
Dark Journalist Unravels the Mystery of Offworld Secrecy and UFO Technology
Daniel Liszt, the dark Journalist and Catherine Austin Fitts, the former assistant Housing Secretary and Financial Expert, both unravel the web of obfuscation and disinformation around the Black Budget investment by a shadowy alliance between greedy corporate interests and Deep State political forces. This is for the UFO development through an advanced technology, which is a total manipulation of public awareness and secret system of finance through complete control of the mainstream media.
According to the whistleblowers, forces deep in the structure were reacting to the UFO threat that reached a high note in 1947. In 70 years of the existence of sightings, The National Security State has used the Exotic Offworld Technology being recovered in highly secretive retrieval programs to build their fleets of manmade extraterrestrials, incorporating Anti-Gravity, as well as the Stealth and Super Drone technology.
With the forces discovering not only the advantages in the production of military weapons but also in creating new industries and attaining large scale earnings from UFO Technology Secrets discoveries, the extreme cover-up around the whole subject of the offworld visitors has turned out to be a major overdrive. Deep Black Op programs planned to defame and discredit those involved in investigations so they can use the concealed advances in science, technology, medicine, and innovative free-energy production for the Breakaway Civilization of the military, political, and corporate interests that dominated planet Earth.
Due to the opposing arguments, there has been a clash between the truth and reality. The modern culture today is more advanced than the leadership than the issue of visitors and the advanced technology they represent. The ruling forces in media, geopolitics, and corporate, however, have no desire to expose their ultimate secret and the whole energy paradigm.
By refusing to enhance the knowledge and discoveries in society within the UFO question, the forces of the Deep State will set up the Clash of Two Worlds. They firmly believe they will prevail, and the cult of secrecy willcontinue forever.

Multiple UFOs flying over Burlington, Kentucky 2-May-2016
Here’s one new footage of a huge number of bright objects flying across the sky above Burlington in Kentucky. This happened on 2nd May 2016.
Witness report:My wife and I were driving in Burlington ky when we noticed about 30 bright orange lights moving very fast in a straight line. Then we pulled over and took a video recording with my cell phone of them. The sighting was unbelievable amd lasted roughly 10 minutes and then just disappeared.
What Would Happen If Yellowstone's Supervolcano Erupted?
What Would Happen If Yellowstone's Supervolcano Erupted?
By Becky Oskin, Contributing Writer
Although fears of a Yellowstone volcanic blast go viral every few years, there are better things to worry about than a catastrophic supereruption exploding from the bowels of Yellowstone National Park.
Scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Yellowstone Volcano Observatory always pooh-pooh these worrisome memes, but that doesn't mean researchers are ignoring the possible consequences of a supereruption. Along with forecasting the damage, scientists constantly monitor the region for signs of molten rock tunneling underground. Scientists scrutinize past supereruptions, as well as smaller volcanic blasts, to predict what would happen if the Yellowstone Volcano did blow.
Here's a deeper look at whether Yellowstone's volcano would fire up a global catastrophe.
Probing Yellowstone's past
Most of Yellowstone National Park sits inside three overlapping calderas. The shallow, bowl-shaped depressions formed when an underground magma chamber erupted at Yellowstone. Each time, so much material spewed out that the ground collapsed downward, creating a caldera. The massive blasts struck 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 640,000 years ago. These past eruptions serve as clues to understanding what would happen if there was another Yellowstone megaexplosion. [Yellowstone and Yosemite: Two of the World's Oldest National Parks (Photos)]
If a future supereruption resembles its predecessors, then flowing lava won't be much of a threat. The older Yellowstone lava flows never traveled much farther than the park boundaries, according to the USGS. For volcanologists, the biggest worry is wind-flung ash. Imagine a circle about 500 miles (800 kilometers) across surrounding Yellowstone; studies suggest the region inside this circle might see more than 4 inches (10 centimeters) of ash on the ground, scientists reported Aug. 27, 2014, in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems.
The ash would be pretty devastating for the United States, scientists predict. The fallout would include short-term destruction of Midwest agriculture, and rivers and streams would be clogged by gray muck.
People living in the Pacific Northwest might also be choking on Yellowstone's fallout.
"People who live upwind from eruptions need to be concerned about the big ones," said Larry Mastin, a USGS volcanologist and lead author of the 2014 ash study. Big eruptions often spawn giant umbrella clouds that push ash upwind across half the continent, Mastin said. These clouds get their name because the broad, flat cloud hovering over the volcano resembles an umbrella. "An umbrella cloud fundamentally changes how ash is distributed," Mastin said.
But California and Florida, which grow most of the country's fruits and vegetables, would see only a dusting of ash.
A smelly climate shift
Yellowstone Volcano's next supereruption is likely to spew vast quantities of gases such as sulfur dioxide, which forms a sulfur aerosol that absorbs sunlight and reflects some of it back to space. The resulting climate cooling could last up to a decade. The temporary climate shift could alter rainfall patterns, and, along with severe frosts, cause widespread crop losses and famine.
"Are we all going to die if Yellowstone erupts? Almost certainly the answer is no," said Jamie Farrell, a Yellowstone expert and assistant research professor at the University of Utah. "There have been quite a few supereruptions in the past couple million years, and we're still around."
However, scientists agree there is still much to learn about the global effects of supereruptions. The problem is that these massive outbursts are rare, striking somewhere on Earth only once or twice every million years, one study found. "We know from the geologic evidence that these were huge eruptions, but most of them occurred long enough in the past that we don't have much detail on what their consequences were," Mastin said. "These events have been so infrequent that our advice has been not to worry about it."
A far more likely damage scenario comes from the less predictable hazards — large earthquakes and hydrothermal blasts in the areas where tourists roam. "These pose a huge hazard and could have a huge impact on people," Farrell said.
Supereruption reports are exaggerated
Human civilization will surely survive a supereruption, so let's bust another myth. There is no pool of molten rock churning beneath Yellowstone's iconic geysers and mud pots. The Earth's crust and mantle beneath Yellowstone are indeed hot, but they are mostly solid, with small pockets of molten rock scattered throughout, like water inside a sponge. About 9 percent of the hot blob is molten, and the rest is solid, scientists reported on May 15, 2015, in the journal Science. This magma chamber rests between 3 to 6 miles (5 to 10 km) beneath the park.
Estimates vary, but a magma chamber may need to reach about 50 percent melt before molten rock collects and forces its way out. "It doesn't look like at this point that the [Yellowstone] magma reservoir is ready for an eruption," said Farrell, co-author of the 2015 study in the journal Science. [Can You Outrun a Supervolcano? Maybe, Study Finds]
How do researchers measure the magma? Seismic waves travel more slowly through hot or partially molten rock than they do through normal rock, so scientists can see where the magma is stored, and how much is there, by mapping out where seismic waves travel more slowly, Farrell said.
The magma storage region is not growing in size, either, at least for as long as scientists have monitored the park's underground. "It's always been this size, it's just we're getting better at seeing it," Farrell said.
Watch out for little eruptions
As with magma mapping, the science of forecasting volcanic eruptions is always improving. Most scientists think that magma buildup would be detectable for weeks, maybe years, preceding a major Yellowstone eruption. Warning signs would include distinctive earthquake swarms, gas emissions and rapid ground deformation.
Someone who knows about these warning signals might look at the park today and think, "Whoa, something weird is going on!" Yellowstone is a living volcano, and there are always small earthquakes causing tremors, and gas seeping from the ground. The volcano even breathes — the ground surface swells and sinks as gases and fluids move around the volcanic "plumbing" system beneath the park.
But the day-to-day shaking in the park does not portend doom. The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory has never seen warning signs of an impending eruption at the park, according to the USGS.
What are scientists looking for? For one, the distinctive earthquakes triggered by moving molten rock. Magma tunneling underground sets off seismic signals that are different from those generated by slipping fault lines. "We would see earthquakes moving in a pattern and getting shallower and shallower," Farrell said. To learn about the earthquake patterns to look for, revisit the 2014 eruption of Bardarbunga Volcano in Iceland. Both amateurs and experts "watched" Bardarbunga's magma rise underground by tracking earthquakes. The eventual surface breakthrough was almost immediately announced on Twitter and other social media. As with Iceland, all of Yellowstone's seismic data is publicly available through the U.S. Geological Survey's Yellowstone Volcano Observatory and the University of Utah.
"We would have a good idea that magma is moving up into the shallow depths," Farrell said. "The bottom line is, we don't know when or if it will erupt again, but we would have adequate warning."
Within the field of Ufology there are longstanding rumors that the May 22, 1949 death of James Forrestal – the first U.S. Secretary of Defense – was linked to the UFO phenomenon. So the story goes, while suffering from severe depression and anxiety, and ultimately spiraling into a complete nervous breakdown (as a result of his exposure to what the U.S. Government knew about UFOs), Forrestal was on the verge of revealing his knowledge of an alien presence on Earth. The theory continues that powerful figures decided such a thing simply could not be allowed to occur. The result was that Forrestal had to go. And “go,” he certainly did: out of a window. In the early hours of May 22, Forrestal plunged to his death from the 16th floor of the Bethesda Naval Hospital. The big question is: was he pushed or did he jump?
Of course, there’s no hard proof in the public domain that Forrestal was briefed on the more sensational and top secret aspects of the UFO phenomenon. Although, logic dictates that he would have been briefed (at least to some degree), since he accepted the position of Secretary of Defense in 1947 – the year in which the flying saucer was “born” and when the military was indeed taking the mysterious matter very seriously. Even outside of Ufology, there are suspicions that Forrestal’s death was no suicide. But, that’s not the focus of this article. Rather, the focus is on something that happenedbefore Forrestal died and prior to his admittance to Bethesda on April 2, 1949.
Just a few days before he ended up in the naval hospital, Forrestal had a curious experience which had distinct Men in Black overtones attached to it. On the day in question, Forrestal received a visit from one of his friends, a man named Ferdinand Eberstadt, someone who was deeply concerned about Forrestal’s fragile and paranoid state of mind. Eberstadt (a lawyer, a banker, and the author of a historic 1945 document, “Task Force Report on National Security Organization”) was floored by what he saw when he arrived at Forrestal’s home. All of the curtains were closed. Forrestal told his friend – in hushed tones – that listening-devices were all over the house. Sinister characters were watching his every move. His life was in danger.
James Forrestal
To demonstrate this to Eberstadt, Forrestal carefully opened one of the blinds and pointed, knowingly, in the direction of a pair of shabbily-dressed men on the street-corner. “They” were a part of it, Forrestal assured Eberstadt. In no time at all, the doorbell to Forrestal’s home was heard ringing. The last thing Forrestal wanted to do was answer the door. Fortunately, one of his staff was on hand to do exactly that. A brief conversation took place, but which neither Forrestal nor Eberstadt were able to hear. The facts, however, quickly came to Forrestal from his houseboy.
According to what the two men were told, the visitor at the door was trying to generate support that would hopefully allow him to become postmaster in his hometown. Could he come in and speak with Forrestal and have him offer some help and advice? Due to Forrestal’s fraught state of mind, the man was sent packing. Eberstadt and Forrestal watched carefully as the man walked directly towards the two badly-dressed men thatalready had Forrestal in a state of turmoil. It was even more evidence of a conspiracy against him, Forrestal grimly concluded, when he saw the three clearly engaging in conversation.
Maybe the whole thing was blown out of proportion by a man descending into a collective state of paranoia, fear, and nervous collapse. Certainly, that’s what happened. But, it’s worth noting that this odd affair, which occurred during Eberstadt’s visit, has several Men in Back-themed parallels to it. First, the Men in Black are typically described as looking not quite right: they are extremely pale-skinned, they often have bulging eyes (hidden behind wraparound shades), and (very bizarrely) are at times described as wearing wigs and make-up. Forrestal’s visitor on the day in question was described by his staff as very odd-looking.
That the man tried to gain access to Forrestal’s home – by claiming to be seeking support for a potential job as a postmaster – mirrors the 1960s-era reports of MIBfinding ways into the homes of UFO witnesses by claiming to be military personnel or police officers. In the same time-frame, Women in Black were posing as census-takers and as gypsies. They were clearly neither. The MIB are often described as wearing clothes that are shabby, dirty, and which occasionally give off an odor like dirt. The two characters that the “odd-looking” man walked towards (and began speaking to) were badly dressed. And, of course, there’s the fact that the men amounted to a trio. Particularly in the 1950s and the 1960s, the MIB turned up in threes. See, for example, Albert Bender’s book, Flying Saucers and the Three Men.
It must be stressed that none of this proves James Forrestal was murdered because of what he knew about the UFO phenomenon (or even because he may have been on the verge of revealing his knowledge to the world). It must be said, however, that the day in question was a very weird one. And not just for Forrestal, but also for Eberstadt. Even he had to admit it was all a bit odd. And, it’s worth noting the words of Dennis Stacy – a long-time and well-respected figure in Ufology, and who runs Anomalist Books with Patrick Huyghe. Of that MIB-like affair, Stacy observed in a 1993 article for Flying Saucer Review magazine titled “Forrestal’s Fall: Did He Jump, or Was He Pushed?” that “…the whole thing has the appearance of a one-act play staged for Forrestal’s ‘benefit.'”
Notably, Stacy added that the affair “begins to smack of orchestration aimed at unsettling an already unstable Forrestal.” Thought-provoking words, indeed.
Are UFOs real, and do they represent any form of tangible phenomenon? Or are UFOs merely an idea, representative of some vestige within our collective memories of a social movement, built around paranoia and international concerns following the Second World War?
To the UFO advocate, the notion that unidentified flying objects could be anything but physical, tangible aircraft would seem laughable. And yet, among the many questions we face in our study of the phenomenon, one is particularly troubling: if the UFO subject represents a single, consistent “alien” phenomenon, then why has it changed so frequently over the decades?
This question was paraphrased to me recently during a correspondence with Jason Bradley, a skeptically-minded colleague of mine. “You have discussed the idea that maybe abduction stories share some similarities between some of the other rash of paranormal claims, like the cult terror in the 70’s and 80’s,” Jason said. “I have always maintained that something glaring about the UFO phenomena is that it’s always followed patterns. Saucers to cigars, cigars to triangles, triangles to lights and so on. I’ve always found this concept interesting, and can’t think of a moment when it’s been addressed. To me this is one of those situations that belies a possible cultural and meme like experience. Ultimately tracking those patterns may help us understand where the psychological component plays into this.”
Mirroring Jason’s ideas presented above, in the past I have similarly discussed the notion that certain trends do appear to emerge, especially within memes presented in UFO literature. However, it is difficult to argue that any definite or distinct lineage emerges from these; in other words, the idea of “saucers to cigars, cigars to triangles,” and the like may not be the most accurate representation of the UFO phenomenon as it has progressed over the years. Nonetheless, there are periods of change that begin appear when looking a bit further back, which thus help to place the “modern” UFO phenomenon of the last few decades into a broader cultural context.
For instance, beginning in the 1890s we can note the prevalence of reports that involve “mystery airships”, which began to appear in many American newspapers (there are, however, similar stories that appeared elsewhere, including parts of South America, as well as Australia, around this same time). Modern UFO historians view the airship craze as a sort of “cultural predecessor” to the modern UFO phenomenon, and it is indeed interesting to note the way that such “UFOs” didn’t appear to resemble saucers, cigars, or triangles of any sort; they represented aircraft that were remarkably similar to those appearing in fiction at that time, namely the work of authors like Jules Verne. Similar to such books and stories, the prevailing theories about the origins of the mystery airships had involved some intrepid inventor who, according to many rumors, was believed to be based somewhere in California, and had managed to construct an impressive new flying machine, which he kept secret from the public.
Not to be entirely dismissive of the purported “airships” of the 1800s, my article “Airships in the 1800s: An Odd History of Aerial Phenomena” discusses a number of crude airships that were, as a matter of historical fact, actually built in California throughout the later 1800s. The most compelling of them all was (or rather, would have been) that built by a Dr. Charles Abbot Smith of San Francisco, an inventor who had garnered a large amount of publicity for his airship operation beginning in early 1896. It remains unclear whether Smith’s airship was ever able to fly, although historians Timothy Parrot and Michael Busby have been among those who have argued for the existence, and successful flight, of such a craft.
Interestingly, if one weighs the actual historical basis of the “airship craze” of the 1890s against the modern UFO era beginning in 1947, there is little similarity to be found. The most credible among the classic airship stories, ranging from inventors who actually did succeed in building crude airships, to the more far-out tales of aircraft actually observed in the sky, still seem to deal with a very earthly technology. Yes, there were some fanciful newspaper accounts that tell of the operators aboard these craft being “visitors from space”, but these were the likely concoctions of area “liars clubs”, or the occasional journalist writing on a day when legitimate news was lacking (such hoaxes were especially common during this period, and among the most famous were two penned by none other than Mark Twain).
These tales of “airships”, however, when compared with the flying saucers that would emerge after the Second World War, indeed seemed to be the stuff of very different worlds. And despite this, the early reports of “saucers” often bore little or no resemblance to any kind of disc-shaped craft at all, as I noted here of Kenneth Arnold’s famous encounter from the summer of 1947. In truth, reports of “cigar-shaped” objects preceded the era of saucers by at least a year, with the numerous reports of cigars and torpedo-like objects referred to as “ghost rockets” which purportedly swarmed the skies above Scandinavia in the summer of 1946. Similar American reports, such as that described by Captain Jack Puckett of Strategic Air Command in the summer of 1946, also predated Arnold’s sighting by several months.
Throughout the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, UFOs would appear to take every shape imaginable: some were discs, while others were rounded spheres or eggs; some were cylinders, some shaped like footballs, and some were literally described as resembling “floating houses”. By the late 80s or early 90s, reports began to emerge of odd triangle-shaped aircraft that behaved, if anything, more like blimps; like their predecessors in the 1890s, these objects first appeared mostly over California, with subsequent reports occurring in numerous other locales. In particular a “wave” of triangle-shaped UFOs were reportedly seen over Belgium during the early 1990s.
Many have opined that these modern “triangles”, rather than being some exotic alien craft, are likely to be a variety of stealth aircraft employed by the U.S. military. The benefit of a large aircraft of this sort might include the large amount of material stock or rations it could transport over a long distance in a single stop; however, the size might also be attributable, more simply, to the amount of lift required to get an object like that off the ground, again presuming that they are something akin to blimps or dirigibles.
Coming back to the notion of “trends” that emerge in UFO literature, while it may be debatable whether there are indeed “patterns” that can be attributed with any conclusiveness, it would indeed be appropriate to note the apparent changes the phenomenon seems to have undergone in decades past. Close encounters with UFO occupants were, throughout the 1950s, largely comprised of credulous-sounding occurrences espoused by individuals who, along with retelling their encounters, were equally interested in promoting their involvement in the burgeoning UFO field, and capitalizing on it if possible. Hence, stories like that of George Adamski and his meetings with “Orthon” described, rather mundanely, encounters with an “alien” that was indistinguishable from any other man… apart from his telepathic powers, and unique mode of transportation through space. However, by the early 1970s, stories of UFO contact experiences were beginning to take on a much darker tone: the abductees now told of encounters with diminutive, emotionless humanoids, replete with bug-like eyes and other insect-like features, who were focused almost solely on brief examinations of their captives.
By the 1990s, the bulk of UFO related books focused on the apparent occupants of these presumed spacecraft, as featured in the written work of authors like Budd Hopkins and others. However, today those operating within the field of UFO studies have seemed to shift focus back toward the objects themselves, rather than having such preoccupation with “beings” seen in relation to UFO encounters. And yet, even the reports of objects seen in the skies have seemingly diminished; this decline in noteworthy UFO reports is, as I have observed elsewhere, interesting for a number of reasons. It has also led a number of commentators (including those found here, here,here, and here) to believe the field of UFO research may “changing” to such an extent that it is literally dying altogether.
Looking back, an interesting trend that does emerge, rather than being related to memes present elsewhere within the field of UFOlogy, is the apparent similarity between UFO abduction cases and other, unrelated phenomena. Namely, the descriptions of hallucinatory environments described by psychedelic “experiencers”, such as those featured in the written work of researchers like Rick Strassman, M.D., come to mind. In equal measure, we find such similarities in the Satanic ritual abuse panics of the 1980s, in which horrific torture and memories of abuse are recovered through hypnosis; again, the similarities emerge in more recent claims of “super-soldiers” who argue that their memories, recovered through hypnosis, seem to indicate their secret work as a government operative, memories of which were suppressed by utilizing advanced mind control technologies.
If we look further back in the last century, hypnotic regressions have similarly facilitated belief that some may have experienced encounters with highly advanced technologies and alien environments in other ways: namely through perceived “past lives”, during which the experiencers claim to remember lives in places like the lost city of Atlantis, asdescribed by Edgar Cayce, among others.
What can be made of all this, and how might our recognition of these apparent changes or “trends” help us to reevaluate some areas of the modern study of UFOs? Perhaps, at the heart of the matter, it is still a question of how the human mind perceives UFOs, and what beliefs — whether or not founded in reality — may be built around valid observations of strange aerial objects that are collected over time.
To conclude with a final anecdote, it was the late Fortean researcher John Keel who had often reminded us that “belief is the enemy”. Much as Keel suggested, perhaps it is our belief in UFOs that informs us the most about the subject… rather than what the phenomenon itself may actually represent.
That’s Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley speaking to young military officers at the recent 100th anniversary of the ROTC program at Norwich University in Vermont. That’s right, he’s warning his future troops they will be facing “little green men.” Aliens? Martians? What does General Milley know that we don’t … yet?
General Milley warning about “little green men”
General Milley has been in the U.S. Army since 1980, served in command positions in eight divisions and Special Forces around the world and was appointed as the 39th Chief of Staff of the Army in 2015, so he should know what he’s talking about. But little green men? Shouldn’t he at least use a more military term like Miniature Jungle-Camouflaged Non-Earth Combatants?
The phrase “little green men” as a descriptor of scary beings dates back to the 12th century legend of the Green Children of Woolpit, a young brother and sister who allegedly had green skin, spoke a strange language and ate only beans (their green color could have been a dietary deficiency, although being around kids who ate only beans probably turned others green too).
As a term for extraterrestrials, folklore researcher Chris Aubeck found an article in an 1899 edition of the Atlanta Constitution referring to a little, green-skinned alien from the planet Hurrah. Edgar Rice Burroughs made what appears to be the first science fiction references to “green men of Mars” and “green Martian women” in his 1912 novel, A Princess of Mars. Aubeck also found mentions of little green men from Mars in the Daily Kennebec (Maine) Journal in 1908 and in an Italian report about a crashed spaceship a few years later. The term has since been popularized by everything from sci-fi to movies to I Love Lucy and The Flintstones.
But the U.S. Army? Maybe we should blame Russia, Ukraine, their respective medias and the conflict in Crimea for General Milley’s usage of the term. According to the BBC, after Russia took over Crimea in 2014, there were reports of armed men in solid green uniforms who were not part of the Russian army or any another known unit. They turned out to be local “self-defense groups” who bought their uniforms at military surplus stores. The Crimean locals and a Russian newspaper called them “little green men.”
Are these the “little green men” General Milley was warning about?
Was General Milley referring to covert soldiers in unidentifiable green uniforms fighting for a cause that may not be readily discernible as being friendly or the enemy?
Perhaps the new soldiers would prefer to deal with little green Martians instead.

The Universe has Trillions of Life-Supporting Planet, why haven’t we met Extraterrestrials?
The Universe has Trillions of Life-Supporting Planet, why haven’t we met Extraterrestrials?
It’s statistically pretty likely that there are plenty of planets which support life.
In fact, there are between 1 and 4 billion planets pretty much like Earth just in the Milky Way alone – and there are 100 billion galaxies out there, each with 100 to 1000 billion stars. Which means trillions and trillions of habitable planets. Right? There’s a thing called the “Fermi Paradox” that basically lays out the possible reasons why. (Yes, the Fermi Paradox came from physicist Enrico Fermi. Part of it — the odds that life exists elsewhere — is closely related to the Drake Equation). The first aspect of the Fermi Paradox is that sheer numbers concept above. The second aspect is that life tends to do well despite adversity, and it tends to colonize new habitats, pretty much all the time. So … why haven’t any E.T. types come and said hello?
Here are a few of many possible reasons:
1) Maybe it’s actually pretty difficult for complex life like that on our planet to develop. We don’t know yet. Maybe we’re unique or one of the first civilizations that’s made it this far. 2) It’s also possible that there’s a hard stop that means that any planet that supports life eventually stops supporting life and everything dies off — or kills itself. In other words, it’s possible that civilizations on all worlds hit a point where they destroy themselves, or are eliminated naturally. Always. Just as an example, 99% of all species that have ever lived on this planet are gone now.
3) This one’s scary but fascinating. Maybe there’s an ancient civilization that monitors the universe and when all worlds hit a certain point where they’re getting too big for their britches, steps in and takes them out. Bam.
4) There might be some extremely intelligent life forms out there that have checked us out, but decided to stay the heck away because we’re entirely too dangerous. I recall a Kurt Vonnegut sub-story called “The Dancing Fool” within the novel “Breakfast Of Champions” that rather hilariously depicts a version of that. Paraphrased, an alien with the knowledge to end wars and cancer but communicates solely by tap-dancing and farting lands in Connecticut, where he discovers a house on fire. He rushes in, dancing and farting away to warn them of the danger. The head of the house grabs his golf club and pummels the alien in the head until he’s quite dead. Smart aliens could take one look at us and wisely decide to stay the heck away.
5) Maybe, just maybe, we are indeed alone in the universe. I mean, it seems unlikely that this is the case based on sheer numbers. But still … it’s possible.
Time is a big factor — compared to the life of most planets and stars, humans have been here and able to communicate beyond ourselves for just a tiny sliver of time. So if someone happened across our Blue Dot and checked in on what kinds of life forms might be here, it could have been before we were even a species.
And there’s the additional consideration of distance — a ship would have to travel at thousands of times the speed of light to even cross the great divide that separates our solar system from the rest and arrive before the occupants are nothing but dust.
Maybe most or all life forms just don’t ever make it long enough to figure out how to reach out to other life-sustaining planets. It’s a daunting prospect — if it’s even possible — to travel that far, that fast. And even then, they’d have to travel specifically to our postal code in the universe in order to even find us. Unless they knew we were here by picking up our telecommunications or TV broadcasts or energy releases (nuclear bombs, NASA launches, etc.) or whatever other signals we might be casting into space, how would they know to travel here? And that’s even assuming that they’d be able to pick up those flags; they could be operating on a totally different level and wavelength. To me, it’s far more likely that we’ll find something hurtling past our planet or solar system that’s a shell of a ship or a remnant of a satellite, long empty of life and maybe much else. Or perhaps, like our Voyager space craft, someone will send something like a message in a bottle and it will long outlive the civilization which sent it off with a kiss and a wave.

Are aliens living just 40 light-years away? Astronomers 'hit the jackpot' by finding THREE Earth-sized habitable worlds bathed in 'eerie red light' around a nearby star
Are aliens living just 40 light-years away? Astronomers 'hit the jackpot' by finding THREE Earth-sized habitable worlds bathed in 'eerie red light' around a nearby star
Astronomers have spotted three Earth-sized planets orbiting a dwarf star
The miniature planetary system is just 40 light-years away from Earth
At least one of these worlds may be not too hot, not too cold, but 'just right'
Scientists said they may have 'hit the jackpot' in the search for life
They're not too hot, not too cold, and may provide just the right conditions for life to form.
Astronomers have found three Earth-sized worlds within the so-called habitable 'Goldilocks' zone of a nearby star.
The scientists believe at least one of these 'three bears' planets may be 'just right' for life to get going, giving the search for life elsewhere in the universe a significant boost.
Astronomers have found three Earth-sized worlds (artist's illustration showing one of the planets and the star) within the so-called habitable 'Goldilocks' zone of a nearby star. The scientists believe at least one of these 'three bears' planets may be 'just right' for life to get going, giving the search for life in the universe a boost
The star is around 40 light-years away. By comparison Mars is, on average and based on its orbit, 12.5 light-minutes away.
The international team of astronomers that found the planets said they are orbiting an ultracool brown dwarf star about one-eighth the size of our sun called 2MASS J23062928-0502285.
Also known as Trappist-1, this dim and cool star fades slightly at regular intervals, indicating several objects are passing between the star and the Earth.

This artist's impression shows how the star looks from the surface of one of the newly-found planets
Trappist-1 is much cooler and redder than the sun and barely larger than Jupiter. Such stars are common in the Milky Way but this is the first time planets have been found around one. The trio of exoplanets is up to 100 times closer to their star than the Earth is to the sun (illustrated) and all three could be habitable
THE SEARCH FOR LIFE
Astronomers have discovered three planets orbiting a small cold brown dwarf star.
The international team believes at least one of these 'three bears' planets may be 'just right' for life to get going.
The two innermost planets orbit in 1.5 and 2.4 days, while the third is less certain and might be anything between four and 73 days.
As the planets are tidally locked they have a half in light and half in darkness.
The team believes that the furthest out of the three, the 'Daddy Bear' planet, is the most likely to be habitable out of the three.
According to Michaël Gillon of the University of Liège, Belgium, the planetary system looks more like moons orbiting Jupiter than our conventional idea of a solar system.
'The planets are 20 to 100 times closer to their star than Earth is to the sun,' he explained.
'This is more similar in scale to the system of Jupiter's moons than the solar system.'
The team used a modest 60cm telescope, based in Chile, to find the planets.
The astronomers believe all three may be habitable, and they are now turning larger instruments on these new worlds to find out more.
While other exoplanet searches have concentrated on bright stars, Gillon and his team set up the Trappist survey specifically to scan the 60 nearest dwarf stars.
'Systems around these tiny stars are the only places where we could detect life on Earth-sized exoplanets with our current technology' he said.
'So this is where we should start to look.'
In September, Trappist-1 was seen to fade slightly at regular intervals, showing that several objects were passing in front of it. The current position of the star (bottom) is shown by a red cross. Its relative position in 1953 (top) and 1998 (middle) is indicated by a red circle to show its orbit compared to its current position
In their report, the astronomers said all three planets are likely tidally locked to their dim star, with hemispheres of permanent night and day. Other exoplanet searches have concentrated on bright stars while the latest study specifically sscans our 60 nearest dwarf stars. Stock image
In September 2015, Trappist-1 - was seen to fade slightly at regular intervals, showing that several objects were passing in front of it.
THE TRAPPIST SURVEY
The Trappist (Transiting planets and planetesimals small telescope) project goes against the flow of other exoplanet surveys, which sample large numbers of bright sun-like stars to search for potential ET homes.
The brightness of those stars means that any planets could be lost in the glare.
Cold dwarf stars are too small and cool to be seen in optical telescopes and 'shine' in the infrared band.
The astronomers at Liege argued this means these tiny red stars would not drown out a planetary signal, and so should be prime targets in the search for habitable worlds.
Further observations confirmed these were Earth-sized planets.
The two innermost planets orbit in 1.5 and 2.4 days, while the third is less certain and might be anything between four and 73 days.
The team believes this third 'Daddy Bear' planet is the most likely to be habitable out of the three.
In their report, published today in the journal Nature, the astronomers said all three planets are likely tidally locked to their dim star, with hemispheres of permanent night and day.
For the inner two, this might restrict any life-friendly sweet spots to the 'twilight zone'.
But on the third, the whole planet may be able to support life.
Because this solar system is relatively close, it should be possible to detect whether the planets have an atmosphere, and even to detect signs of life.
'We can study their atmosphere and composition, and within our generation, assess if they are actually inhabited,' added co-author Julien de Wit, an astronomer at MIT.
He added: 'All of these things are achievable, and within reach now. This is a jackpot for the field.'
In Russia, in the Caucasus mountains, not far from the cities Tzelentzchik, Touapse, Novorossiysk and Sochi, there are hundreds of megalithic monuments. The Russians call them dolmens. Russian and foreign archaeologists have not yet discovered their use. All these megalithic dolmens you see below in the pictures are dated from 10,000 years to 25,000 years ago, according to the website Kykeon. Other archaeologists put the age of these megalithic structures at 4000 to 6,000 years old.

Thousands of prehistoric megalithic monuments are known throughout the world. Some of the least known outside the former Soviet Union, however, are those in the Caucasus. These dolmens cover the Western Caucasus on both sides of the mountain ridge, in an area of approximately 12.000 square kilometers of Russia and Abkhazia.
The Caucasian dolmens represent a unique type of prehistoric architecture, built with precisely dressed cyclopic stone blocks. The stones were, for example, shaped into 90-degree angles, to be used as corners or were curved to make a perfect circle. The monuments date between the end of the 4th millennium and the beginning of the 2nd millennium B.C.

While generally unknown in the rest of Europe, these Russian megaliths are equal to the great megaliths of Europe in terms of age and quality of architecture, but are still of an unknown origin.

In spite of the variety of Caucasian monuments, they show strong similarities with megaliths from different parts of Europe and Asia, like the Iberian Peninsula, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Israel and India. A range of hypotheses has been put forward to explain these similarities and the building of megaliths on the whole, but still it remains unclear.
Approximately 3,000 of these megalithic monuments are known in the Western Caucasus, but more are constantly being found, while more and more are also being destroyed. Today, many are in great disrepair and will be completely lost if they are not protected from vandals and general neglect.
The dolmens are found in the area of Krasnodar. Krasnodar is a city and the administrative center of Krasnodar Krai, Russia, located on the Kuban River about 148 kilometers (92 mi) northeast of the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.
Concentrations of megaliths, dolmens and stone labyrinths have been found (but little studied) throughout the Caucasus Mountains, including the Abkhazia. Most of them are represented by rectangular structures made of stone slabs or cut in rocks with holes in their facade. These dolmens cover the Western Caucasus on both sides of the mountain ridge, in an area of approximately 12.000 square kilometres of Russia and Abkhazia.
The map above shows locations of known Dolmen structures. The original source for the following images came via a Russian Website
Map of dolmen locations
The dolmens have a limited variety in their architecture. The floor plans are square, trapezoidal, rectangular and round. All of the dolmens are punctuated with a portal in the center of the facade. While round portholes are the most common, square ones are also found. In front of the facade is a court that usually splays out, creating an area where rituals possibly took place. The court is usually outlined by large stone walls, sometimes over a meter high, which enclose the court. It is in this area that Bronze and Iron Age pottery has been found – which helped date these tombs -, along with human remains, bronze tools and silver, gold and semi-precious stone ornaments.
The repertoire of decoration for these tombs is not great. Vertical and horizontal zigzags, hanging triangles and concentric circles are the most common motifs. One decorative motif that is quite common is found across the top of the porthole slab. It can best be described as a lintel held up by two columns. Pairs of breasts, done in relief, have also been found on a few tombs. These breasts usually appear above the two columns of the porthole decoration. Perhaps related to these are the stone plugs, which were used to block the porthole, and are found with almost every tomb. They are sometimes phallic-shaped.
Some unusual items associated with dolmens are big round stone balls, double balls and animal sculptures.

One of the most interesting megalithic complexes – group of three dolmens – stands in a row on a hill above Zhane River on the Black Sea coast in the Krasnodar area near Gelendzhik, Russia. In this area there is a great concentration of all types of megalithic sites including settlements and dolmen cemeteries. Large stone mounds surrounded the two monuments.
Stanford’s new OceanOne humanoid robot, powered by artificial intelligence and haptic feedback systems, was specifically created for sea exploration, but not without the help of a human operator for the time being.
Honestly, the human operator thing makes me feel better because something about these humanoid robots just come off a bit creepy since they’re so close to the real thing as far as robotics go.
The OceanOne humanoid robot is outfitted with a multitude of cameras, enabling the operator to see what it sees, and also utilizes haptic feedback so that the operator can feel what the robot is feeling and also precisely control its arms.
Obviously, the dexterity, nimbleness, and compactness of the OceanOne humanoid robot is extremely unique, making it ideal for exploring delicate shipwrecks or coral reefs underwater.
Humanoid robots can do all the deep ocean exploring they want, though. I’m not mad… There’s way scarier stuff down there than the robots themselves.
The extraterrestrial presence and its political implications of are not at the centre of a public interest in the Czech Republic. The same goes for the field of ufology in general. Public awareness and knowledge about UFOs in the Czech Republic are non-existent. The Czech Republic officially has two UFO groups: best-known is Project - Glow (Prague), and there also is KPUFO (Club of Psychotronic and UFO – Plzen, western part of Czech Republic); apart from these, there also are some small regional groups.
But let us start from the beginning: since childhood, I had a strong feeling that some things are completely different than science says. After reading a book, by Erich von Däniken "Chariots of the Gods? Memories of the Future" as a teenager, I knew that my hunch was correct. Intuitively, I did never accept the idea that I come from monkeys. I knew something was wrong in our human´s history development. My views were very different from ordinary people, and I was often viewed as a man with "extravagant opinions." That's why I didn't want to study, I did not want to learn something that is not true. I got a press card and became free-lance journalist.
In 1998 I joined Project Glow, because it was the only one group interested in UFOs in Prague. I began to pursue cases of UFO abduction, because I received many letters of people describing this experience. I put together an investigation team with four colleagues. Based on my experience with this phenomenon, I wrote a book “Close Encounter of Fourth Kind” (UFO abduction in Czech Republic) (Votobia, 2002), where I collected 10 cases I explored with my team. To date we register over 130 similar cases in our database. (One is listed below).
2009 was a milestone year because of a shocking event. The main activity of Project Glow is supposed to be to gather global data and information about UFO sightings and to subsequently evaluate and process the data statistically. However, this project is too static. In my experience, they got nowhere fast and have no connection with foreign colleagues. Their evaluations are superficial and some of them are the real "armchair researchers," who prefer finding "natural explanations." Most of their researchers are debunkers and the group leader picks out carefully sceptical and very critical minded members. Exopolitics was vigorously rejected as baloney without studying it at all. They have begun to demonize Exopolitics and made a mockery of Exopolitics.
What we found out was absolutely stunning. The leader of this project has been an intelligence officer working for the Office for Foreign Relations and Information - Literally speaking it is the Intelligence service of the Czech Republic and partly belongs to Ministry of Internal Affairs. Project Glow has been compiled to obtain from their unsuspecting members information on sightings and witness testimonies for further intelligence processing.
Together with four of my colleagues, I immediately left the project, and established an Exopolitics group (2009). Now, we have about 15-20 exopolitical members or active supporters.
As an example I attach one of the intriguing cases. Interestingly, many participants later experienced "strange dreams", where they saw themselves on board of a spaceship and depicted the weird scenes with “lying on the tables”, watching something like “monitors” with “holograms”. They were shown a variety of “technical devices” or propulsion technology. All “dreamers” agreed that the beings were very tall and human-like in appearance. They described them as neither positive nor negative.
According to an eyewitness living in a small city south east of Prague a very interesting case occurred during a summer camp where the children attending it experienced encounters with strange beings. The case also reports about multiple observations of the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) phenomenon.
A strange incident occurred during a summer camp for children
This incident happened in 1991. My daughter Petra was about to attend a summer camp for children, which she does every year. At the time she was 9-10 years old, and, like all school children, she was eagerly anticipating the upcoming two months of summer vacation. At the time we had recently moved to a new apartment, and while the children were attending the summer camp I used the time to complete some pending work in it.
The summer camp was located within the vicinity of Prague, in a place called Pelhrimov, approximately 120 km south east. After the summer camp was completed the children returned to their homes. During a chat with my daughter we asked her about the summer camp experiences, and she astonished me by asking what I thought about flying saucers. I was of course wondering why she asked about this, especially since the family never discussed such topics as UFOs. We were simply not interested in it.
After Petra had asked me this question, it seemed she could sense my hesitance and uncertainty, so she decided to solve the situation herself. She called on her friend, who was on a visit and who had also attended the summer camp. Both girls began to describe what they experienced while attending the summer camp only some days before.
Where do the lights come from?
It was during the last evening, and all the children were gathered around a large camp fire singing songs, playing guitar, and basically enjoying the last weekend before they were to head home the following day. Later that evening, around 10 or 11pm, the darkness around the camp suddenly changed, and the place was illuminated.
Everybody was wondering what was going on, and the children as well as the camp leaders raised their heads to watch above and see where the lights came from. All the camp participants could then observe a big flying saucer silently crossing the night sky. In a similar way as spotlights the saucer emitted three beams of light that were shining over the whole camp.
According to witnesses around the saucer itself there was a huge glow making it look as blue as a clear day. While it hovered in a still manner above the camp site its beams searched the ground easily, and of course, shortly after chaos ensued among the children and adults as well. Immediately the camp leaders brought the children into their respective tents, and a curfew was immediately implemented allowing no one to leave or look outside their tents.
But some of the most curious children kept peeping out of the tents towards the night sky. The flying saucer had set in motion and moved itself closer to the nearby forest. Again it stopped and hovered silently above some tall spruces. Disconnected from the bottom of the saucer, a large glowing sphere descended slowly towards the ground behind the forest. Shortly after a loud noise and a roar was heard, and after some time had passed the saucer started to hover above the forest again. Paradoxically, while a strict curfew had been implemented, the ban was only adhered to by the adults.
Three strange figures
A small group of girls, among them my daughter Petra, decided to pretend to go to the rest room so that they could escape from the tent to undertake an adventurous expedition. Their curiosity was great, and beside, the rest room facility was placed right next to the forest anyway. While heading back to the camp from the adventurous expedition two of the girls suddenly froze. Inside the forest on the path leading to the camp [three] tall white figures were observed, approximately two meters in height. To the girls these figures resembled tall people dressed in space suits. To see their faces was not possible since they wore something akin to modern-day space helmets. In a rather surprisingly manner the group of girls and the three white figures kept gazing at each other.
What followed appeared to be some kind of mutual examination, and shortly after the white figures began to retreat. In a slow motion they turned around and headed back into the forest. The girls ran all the way to their tents and informed the camp leaders about their experience. Apparently the girls were not the only ones who had observed the white figures. Other children had observed them as well. After the incident when the saucer first started to emerge over the camp the children had observed a sphere ascending over the top of the trees before returning to the flying saucer. Others observed that the sphere had withdrawn into the bottom of the saucer. The UFO then slowly moved away silently, and eventually the camp fell asleep.
Who made such a mess?
The next morning when everybody woke up no one could believe what they saw. A big camp fire leaves very little fine dust and ashes, and in any case, this is often scattered immediately around the camp fire area. But a sorry sight was presented to the camp participants. Everything that was composed of wood, such as benches that the children sat on around the camp fire, had been chopped and demolished into small pieces. Even the axe that had been left outside by the camp fire site had been demolished, and only its metal part was intact. How the camp destruction had happened could not be explained by anybody. Fortunately, the cabins and tents which the camp participants slept in remained absolutely undamaged.
After the morning cleaning routine, a group of the oldest children set off towards the place where the sphere or ball of light appeared the previous night. The site was only located a five-minute walk away. At the site the group could see what appeared to be a landing area. The clearing was small surrounded by high trees. The group also observed a circular pit in the middle of what was understood to be the landing area. They estimated it was six meters in diameter and one meter in depth. The edge of the pit was cut very precisely. The area of the forest ground where flora and fauna existed had disappeared. The examination completed by the group left them both shocked and surprised since they concluded that the unknown nightly visit from the night before had taken pieces of wood with them. Shortly after the examination the group returned to the camp to meet the parents who were waiting for them to take them home.
This case was released by Exopolitics Czech Republic.

EXCLUSIVE: AUSTRALIA'S SECRET UFO FILES RELEASED TODAY
EXCLUSIVE: AUSTRALIA'S SECRET UFO FILES RELEASED TODAY
It is probably the closest Australia has come to scrambling fighter jets to intercept a UFO.
Documents that have just become available under the 30-year rule at the National Archives of Australia reveal how two RAAF Mirage jets were placed on the second highest level of alert to determine the cause of unidentified radar contacts seen on screens at Mascot.
The ''X Files'' viewed in Canberra also give details of other unexplained sightings, some of which are supported by witness statements to police.
In the Sydney alert, the papers stamped ''restricted'' tell how operation ''Close Encounter'' was launched by No.3 Control and Reporting Unit at RAAF Base Williamtown near Newcastle on June 30, 1983, after the phenomenon was first noticed earlier in the month.
AUTRALIA'S X-FILES RELEASED
Senior air controllers at Mascot said the contacts were mostly located between 70 and 150 nautical miles north of Sydney at ''alleged speeds of 1100-6500 km/h that suggested high altitude''.
The papers state that no scramble was to occur in the round-the-clock operation unless confirmation of any reported tracks was made on the radar screens at RAAF Williamtown or any radar other than Sydney.
At the same time, three senior air defence controllers were dispatched to Sydney to investigate and plot every contact and ''control interceptors against these contacts if a reasonable chance of interception presented itself''. But then one of the defence controllers, a squadron leader, asked whether a comparison had been made of the contacts on the screens of Mascot's Area Approach Radar Centre and those in a ''workshop across the corridor''. Soon after, tests showed that the ''unidentified objects reported by Sydney were generated entirely by radar interference known colloquially as 'running rabbits' ''.
Squadron leader K. Keenan, in his six-page report, said operation Close Encounter cost 66½ days of overtime, 1000 kilometres was travelled by a staff car and a C130 Hercules transport aircraft ''may have been diverted to Sydney airport'' to deliver one of the defence controllers.
He wrote: ''The lines of communication, extending as they did across the width of an entire corridor, seem to have been insufficient for the purpose.''
He added rather dryly: ''Fortunately there was no temptation to launch aircraft and add to the fuel bill occasioned by use of the RAAF Datsun.'' A cautiously worded statement was released as a result ''in a manner that would not embarrass departmental personnel'' which blamed ''random atmospheric conditions''. Other reports in the X Files give details of an ''unidentified physical feature'' of circles on Milo Station at Adavale, Queensland, in 1982. The file refers to photographs that apparently were taken, but they were not among the papers.
Constable Geoffrey Russell, from the local police station, visited the site and wrote a report for RAAF Base Amberley near Ipswich. The officer saw depressions in the ground and thought they were caused by a motorcyclist doing donuts but then dismissed the idea.
He wrote: ''I strongly feel this [is] no hoax even though I do not know the cause of this 'feature'.''
He described a large circle of 2330mm in diameter with one inner circle of 2010mm which were 160mm in width and about 15-20 mm deep. The soil around the outer circle appeared to have been ''blown away'', he said.
Elsewhere in Queensland, dairy farmer Robin Priebe phoned Imbil police at 5.30am in July 1983 to report seeing a strange object in the sky to the north of the town. The papers state that a Sergeant Waterson then went to his back verandah and saw ''a large white light with several flashing lights around it'' which did not appear to be a normal aircraft.
A similar sighting was made by Constable R. Keys from a separate position. He was also of the opinion that it wasn't a normal aircraft.
Mr Priebe said both he and his wife saw a bright red glow gradually change to a white light which then started to move slowly east. Through binoculars, ''the light was disc shaped with a very bright light around the perimeter of the disc with two flashing lights in the front and one to the side'', he said.
AUTRALIA UFO FILES
The only photographs in the X Files were of unusual lights over Bendigo, witnessed by hundreds in May 1983. An interim report by the RAAF stated that Mike Evans, a 17-year-old disc jockey with the Bendigo radio station 3BO, received calls from listeners, then saw the lights himself and took photos.
One anonymous caller to the RAAF said the lights were caused by a rock group experimenting with laser lighting. The report said they were probably caused by train headlights or lasers or from planets or stars. There had been unusual weather atmospherics on the night.
Zoe¨ D'Arcy, director of digital and online access at the National Archives, said: ''Where you and I might think UFO - a spaceship - the RAAF and other agencies were probably wondering if there was a security threat.
''Most of the files you read and you think that most probably was a meteorite, but there are ones that you read and you think - well, what could that have been?
''I can't explain that from my knowledge ( via smh.com.au ).
''So what was it that these people have experienced? It has that open-ended question to it that I find really intriguing.''
Britse wetenschappers: “Grotten op Mars wemelen mogelijk van leven
Britse wetenschappers: “Grotten op Mars wemelen mogelijk van leven”
-Wetenschappers zeggen dat grotten op Mars mogelijk wemelen van leven. Op afbeeldingen gemaakt door ruimtesondes zijn ingangen van ondergrondse netwerken te zien die ze graag willen verkennen. Dat meldt de Britse Daily Telegraph.
Er is alleen één probleem: geen van de huidige Marsrovers kan deze mysterieuze werelden binnengaan. Tijdens toekomstige missies is het de bedoeling dat astronauten in een baan om de rode planeet draaien en vanuit een ruimteschip de rovers aan het oppervlak besturen.
“De grot is een ideale plek om sporen van leven te vinden omdat je er beschermd bent tegen externe elementen,” zei dr. Elie Allouis. “Zodra we de grot binnengaan hebben we echter geen toegang meer tot zonne-energie en zijn we afhankelijk van batterijen. Dat betekent dat we vrij snel moeten werken in een donkere en zeer uitdagende omgeving.”
Methaan
Dr. Allouis hoopt sporen van microben te vinden in de grotten of op de stenen die niet worden blootgesteld aan de straling. “In de lavatunnels op Mars is mogelijk een hele nieuwe wereld om te verkennen.”
In december 2014 ontdekte Marsrover Curiosity kortdurende pieken in het methaangehalte van de Marsatmosfeer. De bevindingen duiden op de mogelijkheid van leven op de rode planeet. Op aarde wordt 90 procent van het methaangas namelijk uitgescheiden door levende organismen.
In Zuid-Afrika zijn tot op meer dan 1,5 kilometer diepte micro-organismen aangetroffen, dus wetenschappers zijn er zeker van dat microben ook onder de permafrost op Mars kunnen overleven.
Andere plekken
In 2018 gaat de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA een rover naar Mars sturen die op zoek gaat naar leven. Het wagentje wordt uitgerust met een boor waarmee tot een diepte van twee meter kan worden geboord. De Marsrovers van NASA kunnen maar een paar centimeter diep boren.
“Als we leven vinden op Mars betekent dat dat leven iets heel gewoons is in het zonnestelsel,” zei dr. Allouis. “Misschien gaan we het ook op andere plekken aantreffen.”
“We dachten eerst dat veel droge plekken op aarde zoals woestijnen niet geschikt waren voor leven, maar we hebben ontdekt dat het overal op aarde wemelt van leven,” besloot hij. “Leven vindt altijd een manier om te bestaan.”
De mysterieuze stenen van Ica in Peru: bewijs voor een hoogontwikkelde beschaving in de prehistorie?
De mysterieuze stenen van Ica in Peru: bewijs voor een hoogontwikkelde beschaving in de prehistorie?
In de stad Ica in het zuiden van Peru staat het museum van dr. Javier Cabrera. Hij is enkele jaren geleden overleden en het museum wordt nu gerund door zijn dochter Eugenia. Dat schrijft de Epoch Times.
Er zijn naar verluidt meer dan 50.000 gegraveerde stenen gevonden in de woestijn rond Ica. Zo’n 20.000 daarvan worden in het museum bewaard. Het eerste wat opvalt aan de stenen is dat ze uit twee lagen bestaan: basalt in het midden en andesiet aan de buitenkant.
Op de stenen staan activiteiten van een oud volk afgebeeld. De meest spectaculaire en mysterieuze exemplaren lijken hersenoperaties, harttransplantaties en genetische experimenten te tonen. Op sommige stenen zijn afbeeldingen te zien van telescopen en mensen die naar de sterren kijken.
Geheim
Niemand weet precies wat de graveringen betekenen. Een boer zou ooit zijn begonnen de stenen te verkopen aan toeristen. Het verhaal gaat dat hij onder druk zou hebben toegegeven de stenen zelf te hebben gemaakt.
Het is zelfs voor één iemand een lastige opgave om meer dan 50.000 stenen te graveren. Laten we zeggen dat hij al 50 jaar bezig is. Dat zou betekenen dat hij er meer dan 1000 per jaar heeft gegraveerd, oftewel drie per dag.
Is het mogelijk dat één iemand deze stenen heeft gemaakt? Of een kleine groep? Hoe kan het dat ze zo lang geheim zijn gebleven? Hoe kan een arme boer uit het zuiden van Peru met zulke precisie stenen graveren?
Encyclopedie
Cabrera stelde dat de stenen een encyclopedie vormden. Zijn theorie was dat een superintelligente beschaving in het gebied heeft geleefd. Een beschaving die veel kennis had over astronomie, natuurkunde en geneeskunde.
Dit volk zou een grote ramp hebben zien aankomen en de kennis voor toekomstige generaties hebben overgeleverd door middel van stenen. Cabrera geloofde dat de stenen ooit bewaard werden in een grot die nog ontdekt moet worden.
Op de stenen zijn ook dinosaurussen te zien, wat zou betekenen dat de beschaving heeft samengeleefd met de dinosaurussen.
Wetenschapper: “Ik heb bewezen dat buitenaardse hybrides bestaan en op aarde rondlopen”
Wetenschapper: “Ik heb bewezen dat buitenaardse hybrides bestaan en op aarde rondlopen”
Een expert op het gebied van groene energie zegt overtuigd te zijn dat aliens in het geheim buitenaards DNA hebben ingebracht bij zwangere vrouwen. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Express.
Miguel Mendonça, die nauw betrokken is geweest bij het Britse energiebeleid, beweert dat er op deze manier steeds meer hybride aliens op aarde komen. Volgens hem helpen ze ons om ‘hogere wezens’ te worden.
Hij is er zelfs van overtuigd dat hij door zijn contact met de hybrides is genezen van MS. Mendonça heeft al veel geschreven over groene energie, maar zijn nieuwe boek Meet the hybrids gaat over een heel ander onderwerp.
‘We weten waarom ze hier komen en wie ze zijn’
Samen met Barbara Lamb interviewde hij acht mensen die claimen geïmplanteerd te zijn met buitenaards DNA en deel uitmaken van een missie om de mensheid te verbeteren. Mendonça gelooft dat deze mensen de waarheid spreken.
“Als wetenschapper doe ik onderzoek naar duurzame energie, dus ik moet zeker zijn van mijn feiten,” zei hij. “Deze hybriden verhogen de trilling en ontwaken mensen. Ik ga nu ook door dit proces. Je kunt er niet omheen.”
Mendonça wilde in eerste instantie alleen de verhalen van de mensen delen en had geen idee dat ze ook zijn leven zouden veranderen. Hij denkt nu het mysterie rond UFO’s te hebben opgelost. “We weten waarom ze hier komen en wie ze zijn.”
Ascensie
Iedere ‘hybride’ kreeg dezelfde vragen voorgeschoteld. Al snel werd duidelijk dat de verhalen veel overeenkomsten hadden. Robert Frost-Fullington (36) uit Californië beweert DNA te hebben van vier buitenaardse soorten, te weten de Reptilians, de Siriërs, de Tall Whites en een soort die eruitziet als een bidsprinkhaan.
In het boek zegt hij dat de wezens implantaten hebben ingebracht onder zijn tong toen hij vijf jaar oud was. De mensen die zijn geïnterviewd claimen dat het hun missie is om de ‘frequentie’ of ‘trilling’ op aarde te ‘verhogen’.
Ze zeggen allemaal dat er een zogeheten ascensie plaatsvindt waarbij mensen evolueren van de derde naar een vijfde dimensie, waar zaken als oorlog en geweld niet zouden bestaan.
Supersoldaten
Tatiana Amore (34) uit het zuiden van Engeland zegt dat ze van het ‘Pleiadische’ ras is. “De aarde verandert en gaat naar een nieuwe frequentie die lichter en beter is voor mensen,” zei ze.
Op de vraag waarom hij de ouders van de hybrides niet heeft geïnterviewd antwoordde Mendonça: “Sommige ouders wilden er niets van weten omdat ze christenen van de oude stempel zijn.”
De ondervraagden wilden geen DNA afstaan uit angst dat ‘geheime militaire projecten het dan zouden gebruiken om supersoldaten te creëren’. Mendonça voegde daaraantoe dat Robert wel openstaat voor een DNA-onderzoek.

An Indiana witness at Fort Wayne reported watching two unknown objects hovering while flashing lights in the sky, according to testimony in Case 75794 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The incident occurred beginning at 9:35 p.m. on April 12, 2016, on a clear night when the witness just happened to look out a dining room window.
“I noticed two flashing lights in the lower west,” the witness stated.“They were brighter than airplanes.”
The witness described the lights and their actions.
The witness first noticed two lights hovering in the distant sky. Pictured: Fort Wayne, Indiana. (Credit: Google)
“I kept looking at them. And one would flash/blink off and on – blink, blink, blink – and then the other one on the right would do the same thing back – blink, blink, blink. They did this a few times, and then all of a sudden the one on the left changed its shape, like a long light beam that stretched out. It changed back to the star shape, but then it stretched out again. It reminded me of lightning going horizontally. Weird.”
The witness continued to watch.
Both lights began to blink in sequence at each other. Pictured: Fort Wayne, Indiana. (Credit: Google)
“The light on the right stayed the same, but blinked. Then, I saw a smaller light fly by quickly heading to the southeast. It looked like the light flew between them. It all happened in under three minutes. The two larger lights got smaller and then headed west and disappeared quickly.”
Indiana MUFON Chief Investigator Phil Leech investigated and closed this case as an Unknown. Fort Wayneis in Allen County, IN, population 258,522. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Enkele dagen geleden liep een man die langs het water woont in het Amerikaanse Tampa Bay in Florida naar de achterkant van het huis om de hond uit te laten.
Tot zijn verbazing ziet hij precies hetzelfde soort ruimteschip zoals die ook worden gesignaleerd bij de vulkanen in Mexico, bij het ISS ruimtestation en op Mars.
De getuige in Florida die het bijzondere object in de lucht waarnam vertelt het volgende:
Het was ongeveer kwart voor acht ’s avonds. Ons huis ligt vlakbij het water van Tampa Bay. Ik liep naar de achterkant van ons huis om de hond uit te laten.
Toen zag ik opeens een sigaarvormig object dat van zuidoost richting zuid bewoog. Ik kon het object niet identificeren.
Nadat ik het object ongeveer 45 seconden had geobserveerd, verscheen er plotseling een oranje bol/orb aan de rechterkant van het object. Na twee of drie seconden knipperde het als het ware uit.
Dit was het moment waarop mijn iPhone pakte en een nogal bibberende opname maakte van het object van ongeveer 45 seconden.
Het object voerde niet de normale navigatielichten zoals je die op een vliegtuig ziet en maakte geen geluid.
In de video zie je op een gegeven moment een vogel voorbij vliegen, waardoor je een beetje een indruk krijgt van de grootte van het object. Dit zou je misschien ook kunnen gebruiken om de snelheid van het object vast te stellen.
Toen het object zich wat verder van mij verwijderde, rende ik naar binnen om mijn verrekijker te pakken, maar toen ik terugkwam was het verdwenen.
De laatste jaren worden er regelmatig grote sigaarvormige UFO’s waargenomen op bepaalde plekken, waardoor we misschien een indicatie hebben waarvoor ze worden gebruikt.
Hierna volgt een deel uit een eerder artikel van enkele jaren geleden met typische plaatsen waar dit soort schepen regelmatig wordt aangetroffen.
Enkele dagen geleden zagen we de volgende vreemde sigaar- of cilindervormige UFO verschijnen boven Mars, zoals we schreven in een artikel op 2 mei 2014.
In dat artikel hebben we verder gewezen op de meer dan opvallende overeenkomsten met de sigaarvormige UFO die verdween in de Popocatépetl vulkaan in Mexico.
Nu verschijnen er ook ineens twee sigaarvormige UFO’s bij het Internationale Ruimtestation, ISS.
Zoals te doen gebruikelijk bij NASA; op het moment dat ze merken dat er via de ISS camera UFO’s in beeld komen, wordt het beeld uitgezet.
Zo ook in de volgende video, waar na ongeveer 1 minuut 20, wanneer de sigaarvormige UFO’s in beeld komen, het testbeeld verschijnt.
Sigaarvormige UFO’s bij de vulkaan in Mexico, het ISS en boven Mars. Allemaal zonder dat NASA of de (Amerikaanse) overheid daar iets van af zou weten? De wereld moet wel heel erg goedgelovig zijn om dat allemaal te slikken.
Daarnaast is er ook nog door de Russen een sigaarvormige UFO vastgelegd in de buurt van Mars. Dit incident is door ons eerder beschreven in een publicatie van 4 mei 2013. Hier volgt een deel van dat bewuste artikel:
"In juli 1988 stuurden de Russen twee onbemande ruimteschepen richting Mars, de Phobos 1 en de Phobos 2. Het doel van de missie was om onderzoek te doen naar de geheimzinnige maan van Mars, Phobos. Na twee maanden verloor men alle contact met Phobos 1 en verdween deze voor altijd uit beeld. Ook Phobos 2 ging uiteindelijk verloren, maar niet nadat er een aantal vreemde zaken waren voorgevallen.
In januari 1989 arriveerde Phobos 2 veilig bij Mars en begon haar omloopbaan om de planeet. De volgende stap was om het ruimteschip in een zodanige omloopbaan te brengen waardoor hij in feite in tandem zou vliegen met de maan Phobos. Hierdoor zou men dan de mogelijkheid creëren om deze maan met geavanceerde apparatuur te onderzoeken.
In eerste instantie ging alles goed, totdat men probeerde Phobos 2 uit te lijnen met de maan Phobos. Op 28 maart kwam het Russische controlecentrum met het bericht dat er communicatieproblemen met het ruimteschip waren. verder dat Phobos 2 niet langer communiceerde nadat hij een dag daarvoor een rondje had gemaakt rondom de maan Phobos. Ook werd het contact later niet hersteld waardoor ook de Phobos 2 als verloren werd beschouwd.
Echter, net voordat het contact volledig werd verbroken stuurde de Phobos 2 een aantal vreemde beelden naar de aarde. De volgende foto laat een ongewone schaduw zien op het maanoppervlak.
Wat het ook was dat deze schaduw veroorzaakte, de experts waren het er over eens dat het niet iets natuurlijks was. De grootte van de schaduw op het oppervlak van Mars geeft aan dat het object ergens tussen de 20 en 25 kilometer lang moet zijn.
Dan blijft het een lange tijd stil. Totdat de vroegere Russische kosmonaute Marina Popovich een persconferentie geeft in 1991 waar ze met de volgende geheime foto komt. Het is de allerlaatste infraroodfoto die Phobos 2 naar de aarde heeft gestuurd.
Als je bedenkt dat de totale lengte van de maan Phobos ongeveer 22 kilometer is dan zie je dat dit vreemde object eveneens een lengte heeft van ergens tussen de 20 en 25 kilometer, even groot als de schaduw van het object op het oppervlak van Mars".
