Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    VIDEO - 1986 UFO Incident Over Alaska with a Japanese freighter aircraft

    In November, 1986, a Japanese crew of a jumbo freighter aircraft witnessed a UFO while flying over the state of Alaska. This sighting gained international attention when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that it was going to officially investigate this sighting because the Air Route Traffic Control Center in Anchorage, Alaska, had reported that the UFO had been detected on radar. Captain Terauchi was featured on numerous radio and TV programs and in People Magazine.

    UFO

    These Classic Cases Appear to Defy UFO “Trends” Over the Decades

    One of the prevailing modern themes among UFO researchers today entails that UFOs have gradually changed in appearance over time. Beginning with amorphous “green fireballs” and “ghost rockets” in the 1940s, by the 1950s and 60s, these “UFOs”, as they were dubbed by head of the USAF Project Blue Book Edward Ruppelt, began to often appear as saucer or disc-shaped. Later, objects resembling eggs, cigars, and a host of other shapes were continually reported up until the later 1980s, when large, silent triangle-shaped aircraft began to become most prevalent amidst popular reports of mystery aircraft in our skies.

    A skeptical friend of mine recently questioned me about this apparent trend, noting that, “it’s amazing to me that no one seems to have ever pointed this out or discussed it.” This, of course, was a misperception on his part — although quite an honest one, I believe — as I am often confronted with similar “why has nobody ever…” by my more skeptical friends (and in truth, rather than these being cases of some trend or question never having been addressed by serious UFO researchers, instead they tend to be evidential that many skeptics haven’t, for better or for worse, take time to familiarize themselves with literature about the UFO subject).

    Perhaps the idea of “trends” in relation to changes among UFO descriptions over the years isn’t entirely without merit. It does seem that the alleged “silent triangle” UFOs began to appear with greater frequency during the 1980s and early 90s. In equal measure, fewer of the classic “Daylight Discs”, to borrow J. Allen Hynek’s terminology, seem to be seen in the modern era. So it does seem that an argument could be made that descriptions actually have changed some over time.

    However, if we look more closely at the reports that have been collected over the decades, and truly attempt to dig deeply enough, at least, that we find credible ones in their midst, we find that many of the so-called “trending” UFOs have actually appeared numerous times over the course of the history of UFOlogy, and are not restricted to specific periods.

    trianglethreelights

    Take, for instance, the triangular UFO craft, the earliest appearances of which are largely attributed to the 80s and 90s. Looking further back, we actually find a number of credible witness reports that seem to suggest otherwise. In his 1965 book Anatomy of a Phenomenon, Jacques Vallee shared the following report that occurred in Poland in 1959:

    “In March of 1959, on the coast of Poland near Kolobrzeg, Polish soldiers saw the sea suddenly become agitated. A triangular object, each side measuring about four meters, came out of the water and started to fly in circles over the barracks, then sped away and vanished.”

    In 1996, my fellow MU blogger Nick Redfern also managed to find a report that occurred six years later in 1965, which had been reported to the MoD at the time it occurred.

    Redfern wrote in 2013:

    While digging through a whole host of formerly classified files on UFOs at the National Archives at Kew, England in 1996, I came across a one-page report dated 28 March 1965 that, I confess, I almost overlooked. On closer inspection, however, I realized that it was potentially one of the most important UFO-related documents that I had ever come across. According to the MoD paperwork, on the night in question a witness saw at approximately 9.30 p.m. over moor-land near Richmond, North Yorkshire, England: ‘Nine or ten objects – in close triangular formation each about 100ft long – orange illumination below – each triangular in shape with rounded corners, making low humming noise.’

    MoD

    Redfern managed to track down the original witness to this 1965 episode, whose name was listed on the report. The man recalled the encounter with amazement once Nick reached out to him, describing that his car’s motor began to handle roughly immediately prior to the appearance of a large triangle, approximately 100 feet across and moving slowly toward him. The object then took off with amazing speed, angling upward and rising altitude to join a fleet of similar aircraft, which left the area together. For some time after the incident, the witness received numerous calls from an unidentified individual that claimed to work with a division of the government, who inquired about whether he had observed the craft again, or if anyone had interviewed him about it.

    Researcher David Marler, author of the book Triangle UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation, also notes early reports of triangle shaped UFOs. Marler and I met in April, 2016, at a conference in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, where I asked him if he had been aware of a report of a triangle-shaped “cloud” with a red light in the center, first related (as far as fringe literature goes, at very least) in Charles Fort’s classic work, The Book of the Damned. Not only had Marler indeed seen this and included it in his own book on the subject, but he had managed to glean a number of similar reports of triangle-shaped objects aircraft that well predated the more popular “modern” reports of silent triangle UFOs.

    With little doubt, the same analysis could be applied to other descriptions or classification groups of UFOs, but using the preceding as a general example, the presumption that the UFO phenomenon appears to follow distinct trends over time may not be completely true. Or, at very least, as with all sets of rules, one will generally find exceptions if they look closely enough.

    VIDEO: Inwoners van Boliviaanse stad zien 'buitenaards wezen uit UFO komen'

    VIDEO: Inwoners van Boliviaanse stad zien ‘buitenaards wezen uit UFO komen’

    Inwoners van de Boliviaanse stad Santa Cruz hebben naar eigen zeggen een ‘alien’ uit een UFO zien komen. Diverse inwoners van de wijk El Dorado zagen eerst een helder licht aan de hemel dat begon te dalen en vervolgens bij een boom neerkwam. Dat meldt de Boliviaanse krant El Deber.

    Het ongeïdentificeerde vliegende object werd gezien op donderdagavond 16 mei rond 22.00 uur. Het is volgens de krant voor het eerst dat zich zoiets in Santa Cruz heeft voorgedaan.

    Drie tieners die op weg naar huis waren zeiden dat ze uit het object een vreemd schepsel met lange armen en korte benen zagen komen, dat uiteindelijk tussen de takken verdween. Het wezen zou ook voetafdrukken hebben achtergelaten, melden lokale media.

    Heel hard geluid

    De getuigen zeiden dat het licht op vuur leek en ook hoorden ze een donderend geluid. “Het wezen had grote ogen,” vertelde één van de getuigen aan de Boliviaanse tv-zender Red Uno.

    “We hoorden een heel hard geluid,” zei een vrouw. “Alles viel uit. Er was geen mogelijkheid om het geluid op te nemen. Plotseling viel het naar beneden en verdween het. Ik weet niet wat het geweest is.”

    Recht naar beneden

    Een andere getuige zei: “Er kwam iets naar beneden, recht naar beneden. Een licht kwam recht naar beneden en kwam neer in die boom. Het probeerde bij dat huis naar binnen te gaan.”

    In Bolivia worden vaker UFO’s gezien. Eind vorig jaar beweerde Maria Prado met zijn mobiele telefoon een vliegende schotel te hebben gefilmd in de lucht boven de stad El Alto in La Paz. Het cirkelvormige object verdween uiteindelijk in de wolken. De Mexicaanse krant Excelsior zette echter vraagtekens bij de echtheid van de beelden.

    In onderstaande video laten getuigen zien hoe het wezen er volgens hun uitzag:

    top secret

    Christopher Mellon, UFODATA and the Release of UFO Documents

    No matter which candidate is elected U.S. president in November, will he or she have full access to classified UFO and ET documents and will they be able to unveil them to the public? That question was addressed recently by Christopher Mellon, a 20-year high-level employee of the federal government in a variety of national security positions and a member of famous wealthy family that has long held the power and finances to gain access to such data. What does he think and why should we listen to him?

    Chris Mellon

    Chris Mellon

    According to its website, UFODATA was founded a few years ago “to design, build and deploy a global network of automated surveillance stations that will monitor the skies full time looking for UFOs. UFODATA has no interest in alleged government conspiracies or adding more witness reports or FOIA documents to the thousands already on file.” Despite that pledged aversion to conspiracies, it recently added Chris Mellon to its board. According to his bio on the website, Mellon was “… a Legislative Assistant for Senator William S. Cohen he drafted the legislation establishing the US Special Operations Command … Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Security and Information Operations during the Clinton Administration … Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence in the Clinton and Bush Administrations.” He also professes a lifelong interest in UFOs. Sounds like someone who might know something about classified UFO documents, doesn’t it?

    Since his appointment to the UFODATA board, Mellon has shared his insights on, among other things, the promises that Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager, John Podesta, have made to open government UFO and Area 51 files to the public. Because Area 51 falls  under the Department of Defense, Mellon claims presidential access to secret or “compartmented” Programs is on a need-to-know basis.

    I recall instances when White House officials sought briefings on highly compartmented Department of Defence (DoD) programs and were flatly refused … In general, nobody outside DoD, including the Secretary of State, is deemed to have a need to know.

    Nobody. Mellon goes further to discuss government involvement with UFOs during his time in Washington and what he expects the response to be..

    During all those years, I never detected the faintest hint of government interest or involvement in UFOs … I think the conspiracy theorists will be angry and unconvinced.

    Not a hint. Why? Mellon says “the UFO mystery is a scientific problem” and, as board member of UFODATA, he offers this advice to Hillary Clinton:

    If Clinton really wants to get to the bottom of the UFO issue, I think she should officially task NORAD with collection and analysis responsibility. Simultaneously, she should assign the Office of Science and Technology Policy the job of reviewing available evidence, coordinating with other countries and providing scientific assessments and recommendations.

    UFODATA's proposed approach to collecting UFO data

    UFODATA’s proposed approach to collecting UFO data

    A scientific approach to UFO research. Would that work? Would the results be accepted by the public? By the skeptics?

    Would Chris Mellon and UFODATA be standing by to offer its “global network of automated surveillance stations that will monitor the skies full time looking for UFOs”? If there’s a budget, that’s one question with an easy answer.

    Cela fait déjà plusieurs années que j'appuie les faits et découvertes sur nos prédécesseurs (je n'affirme pas "ancêtres" comme certains car non prouvé) sur cette Terre, principalement sur le fait qu'ils n'étaient pas autant "arriérés" ou "préhistoriques", "hommes-singes" ou même "hommes des cavernes" que ce que la majorité des scientifiques croyaient sans réelles preuves, mais juste une certaine psychose de la supériorité (non justifiée) du genre "Homo Sapiens ou Homme-moderne"...

    C'est bien sûr le cas pour notre cousin néandertalien avec ces nombreux articles (voir en bas de cet article) et découvertes récentes qui, petit à petit, ont mené à un fort changement de paradigme (et surtout les "a priori" rarement justifiés des scientifiques des 19ème et 20ème siècle) les concernant, la toute dernière découverte en France, absolument extraordinaire, enfonçant encore plus profondément le clou... mais j'en profite aussi pour affirmer qu'encore plus anciens, les "Homo Erectus" ont très probablement aussi leur part d'inventivité et de mystères que nous commençons aussi seulement à entrevoir...

    C'est une récente publication scientifique, effectuée après près de 3 ans d'études, dans le très sérieux Nature qui bouleverse ainsi ce qui n'était après tout surtout que des hypothèses, des dogmes basés sur la fausse pensée que seuls les "hommes modernes" avaient des possibilités en matières d'arts, de constructions et de créativités...

    C'est dans une profonde grotte située sur la commune de Bruniquel, une petite bourgade de 600 habitants qui surplombe l’Aveyron, perchée sur un piton rocheux, dans le Sud du Quercy, dans le Tarn et Garonne français. La grotte a été découverte en 1992 par un très jeune spéléologue (Bruno Kowalsczewski, 15 ans à l'époque, s'était en fait rappelé que son père lui avait parlé d'un courant d'air sortant d'un trou ou terrier à cet endroit, qu'il avait senti dans les années 50-60 !) qui a réussi  a se frayer un chemin sur les 330 mètres en grandes parties obstrués qui séparent la salle principale de l'entrée. Une entrée où il a d'abord découvert des restes de bisons, rennes, cerfs et plusieurs ours bruns... un peu comme un indicateur le menant à se glisser dans des couloirs et passages très étroits et difficiles, obstrués parfois par des coulées d'argiles qu'il déblaie et qui le mènent à une vaste cavité ornée par des draperies de stalactites et possédant un petit lac souterrain ! Et une surprise énorme qui le fera alerter les archéologues : sur 30 mètres carrés environ, des morceaux de stalagmites arrachés et découpés sont disposés en forme de cercle, couchés horizontalement pour la plupart et sur plusieurs couches, alors que d'autres sont disposés comme des étais pour soutenir cette construction étrange ! Puis il tombe sur un os d'ours brûlé, la trace de l'homme, indéniablement...

    Bien sûr dans les années 1990, les scientifiques n'en reviennent pas... des premières analyses et datations ont été effectuées avec les seuls moyens à l'époque, le carbone 14 et ses limites qui sont atteintes avec l'os d'ours brûlé : -47.000 ans... le débat fait rage car on sait déjà à l'époque que seul neanderthal (à priori toujours) était déjà présent en France, la première apparition (à priori) de Cro-Magnon étant estimée à -40.000 ans... La première publication dans le magazine de spéléologie Spelunca (N° 60) raconte en détail la découverte et les premières spéculations et datations. La grotte Chauvet (avec une visite humaine la plus ancienne datée à 37.000 ans récemment) n'a pas encore été découverte, seule Lascaux avec son ancienneté estimée à -22.000 ans sert de référence pratiquement en matière de grotte encore à l'époque...

    Mais dès 1996 et les publications dans la presse (Voir Libération), le débat fait rage entre les tenants de l'hypothèse d'un néandertalien plus intelligent, artiste et constructeur et les tenants de l'hypothèse d'un Cro-Magnon présent en France plus tôt que découvert jusqu'à présent (certains ne veulent pas renoncer à l'idée d'une suprématie de Homo Sapiens et aussi d'une certaine "évolution linéaire")... la description des lieux est un peu plus fournie : " pour y pénétrer, il faut d'abord se glisser dans un boyau étroit. Des éboulis et une pente plus tard, démarre une dégringolade vers l'inconnu: une vaste salle, étrange. Le sol ressemble à un cratère lunaire, creusé de dépressions. On dirait des jacuzzi, ce sont des bauges à ours, par dizaines. Des ossements traînent çà et là. De l'ours des cavernes, du castor, de la chauve-souris, du renne...

    Les parois sont vierges, tout juste balafrées par des griffades d'ours, venus se nettoyer les pattes ou s'étirer comme de gros chats. La troupe s'avance dans un couloir. A plus de 250 mètres, encore une grande salle. Et là, au beau milieu, l'étrange structure apparaît. « Ça ressemble à un haricot avec un petit rond à côté, dit Michel Soulier, président du club de spéléo de Caussade. En tout cas, c'est du jamais vu sous terre : ici, des centaines de concrétions ont été arrachées, brisées, assemblées pour dessiner un quadrilatère de 4 m sur 5. En son centre, deux amas. A côté, une structure circulaire plus petite. Les spéléologues invitent à Bruniquel François Rouzaud, conservateur du patrimoine à la Direction des affaires culturelles de la région Midi-Pyrénées.... "

    L'hypothèse d'une tente et comparaison avec des structures en os de mammouths découvertes en extérieurs sont effectuées à l'époque... car la datation de 47.600 ans est trompeuse et oblige à comparer ce qui est comparable aux mêmes dates (mais on sait maintenant que ces datations sont fausses : les structures sont beaucoup, beaucoup plus vieilles...)  

    " En Russie, en Ukraine et en Moldavie, des structures (de 45 000 ans environ) ­ mais à l'air libre ­ évoquent celle de BruniquelLà-bas, on a retrouvé des assemblages d'os de mammouths, dessinant aussi un quadrilatère, avec, au milieu, deux petits tas : des cale-poteaux. Le tout étant destiné à dresser une toile de tente, une peau de bête« Ce qui est troublant, c'est que la masse de nos concrétions est équivalente à celle des os de mammouths », dit François Rouzaud. Mais quelle idée de se monter une tente dans une grotte ? En ce temps-là, il faisait plus froid (YH : oui il y a -47.600 ans, et oui aussi à -176.000 ans : c'est la glaciation de Riss, bien qu'il y ait eu une période de douceur s'arrêtant vers -190.000 ans !) et peut-être l'homme de Bruniquel a-t-il cherché à se faire un petit chez soi, facile à chauffer. « On peut aussi imaginer qu'ils ont cherché à améliorer l'éclairage, la tente jouant le rôle d'un abat-jour... Plutôt un comportement de Cro-Magnon. » "

    Puis la grotte est restée fermée, sur sa propriété privée à l’emplacement secret, pendant quinze ans...

    C’est en 2011 seulement que Bruniquel a reçu la visite de Sophie Verheyden, chercheuse à l’Institut royal des sciences naturelles en Belgique. Elle est également intriguée par les étranges structures de stalagmites et demande l’autorisation de lancer de nouvelles études, car les techniques de datation ont fait beaucoup de progrès depuis les années 1990  : la méthode radioactive «uranium-thorium» permet désormais de remonter jusqu’à - 600 000 ans, et n’est pas limitée à la matière organique comme le carbone 14 : elle fonctionne également avec les minéraux sédimentaires comme les stalagmites et c'est donc l'idéal ici. Une nouvelle équipe se monte, composée de Sophie Verheyden, Jacques Jaubert et du directeur de recherche au CNRS Dominique Genty, avec comme premiers objectifs de faire un relevé de la grotte en 3D, de mesurer le magnétisme de la cavité pour repérer les matériaux brûlés et de carotter les stalagmites pour établir une bonne datation. Car le bris des stalagmites puis la reprise des concrétions et donc la création de nouvelles stalagmites au-dessus des anciennes va permettre une datation très précise, puisqu'il y a une interaction précise des humains sur les sédiments à un moment donné !

    Six carottes de deux centimètres de diamètres ont été effectuées sur des stalagmites comportant les différentes states, pour comparer les résultats, faire une moyenne et limiter les erreurs. Après une attente raisonnable des résultats de plusieurs laboratoires américain et chinois, la surprise est annoncée. La date de fin de pousse des stalagmites couchées et la date de repousse correspondent parfaitement. Sophie Verheyden appelle Jacques Jaubert pour lui donner la datation officielle. Les résultats sont tous très concordants et fiables, et l'âge donné est vertigineux : 176 500 ans avec une marge de + ou - 2000 ans !

    Autant on sait que l'homme moderne, nommé aussi Homo Sapiens ou encore Homme de Cro-Magnon visitait des grottes pour y laisser des peintures ou y déposer des sépultures, s'y réfugier, on sait aussi qu'on n'a aucune preuve à ce jour de son existence en Europe avant 40 000 ans par rapport à maintenant (les premières traces de l'homme moderne étant en Roumanie pour l'Europe). Le seul qui est identifié pour une période aussi lointaine en Europe est l'Homme de Neanderthal, et encore c'est un néandertalien "archaïque". Un cousin disparu vers 35 000 ans dont on ne sait presque rien question mode de vie, sinon qu'il s'habillait tant de plumes que de peaux et cuirs, se tatouait, qu'il savait fabriquer des outils de pierre, utilisait le feu et pratiquait possiblement certaines formes d'art (découvertes très récentes) et de rites. Certaines reconstitutions le décrivent comme étant pale aux yeux bleus-gris et possiblement roux (néandertalien de Spy en Belgique), il aurait traversé plusieurs âges de glace pour finir par disparaître mystérieusement 10 000 ans après l'arrivée des hommes modernes en Europe...

    La déduction est logique principalement à cause de l'identification de tous les ossements découverts avant 40.000 ans en France comme étant ceux de la race néandertalienne... est-ce vraiment fiable, est-ce que certaines datations ne devraient pas être effectuées avec les moyens modernes plus récents ? Est-ce que des comparaisons avec d'autres races découvertes récemment (Denisovien par exemple) ne devraient pas être tentées avant de tomber à nouveau dans la facilité de déduction ? La possibilité d'une autre race ou même d'une race encore inconnue (l'ADN semble montrer qu'il manque une race pour compléter le génome humain !) est-elle a exclure complètement d'emblée ?

    Les questions fusent : la présence de ces constructions, assemblages intelligents de stalagmites à 335 mètres de l’entrée de la grotte, dans une obscurité complète implique que ceux qui les ont faites, Neanderthal ou autre, maniait les torches en sous-sol bien avant l’homme moderne (rappel : on a trouvé des foyers vieux d'un million d'année en Afrique, donc Erectus avait déjà domestiqué le feu). « C’était probablement un groupe, un collectif avec des personnes qui éclairaient pendant que d’autres transportaient et agençaient les stalagmites », réfléchit Jaubert. Donc il y avait toute une organisation avec des rôles différents et répartis entre les individus. Une coordination, des échanges. Peut-être aussi une hiérarchie, un chef ou un "connaisseur" qui donnait des ordres ou des conseils. Sans oublier la phase préalable de recherche et de choix des matériaux pour monter la drôle de structure. Le travail fut complexe : il y a 400 «speleofacts» dans la cavité – un néologisme créé par les trois chercheurs pour désigner les spéléothèmes (concrétions minérales) transformées par ceux qui ont créé cet assemblage.

    Les visiteurs préhistoriques de la grotte « ont arraché des stalagmites, les ont basculées, sectionnées, fragmentées, tronçonnées voire même calibrées pour les disposer de manière circulaire ou les entasser dans les parties centrales de la structure, selon un plan qui était certainement prédéterminé. Les hommes ont déplacé entre 2,1 tonnes et 2,4 tonnes de matériaux. Ce n’est pas un acte anodin. Les bâtisseurs avaient certainement un objectif en amont, mais il est impossible de le connaître à l’heure actuelle. Par élimination, on peut supposer qu’il n’y a pas trop de raisons de type habitat (la tente ou cabane montée dans une grotte n'est pas une hypothèse retenue par les scientifiques), de raisons techniques ou alimentaires… On est progressivement acculés dans le domaine de l’immatériel, qu’on a du mal à appréhender pour ces périodes très anciennes. » De l’art ? Un rite ou un culte ? « C’est un terrain très dangereux, et il faut vraiment réfléchir à deux fois avant de lâcher un mot de ce genre. »

    Pourtant, les preuves d'une intervention intelligente sont bien là : Dominique Genty détaille les différentes preuves : d’abord, la carte des anomalies magnétiques réalisée dans la grotte montre les différents endroits où de la magnétite a été créée en chauffant des minéraux. Cette carte coïncide avec les foyers relevés par les chercheurs en observant la calcite rougie ou noircie par le feu. Ensuite, il y a ce bout d’os qu’on a retrouvé coincé entre une stalagmite couchée et sa repousse« C’est de l’os carbonisé, conclut Genty. On l’a analysé avec un spectre infrarouge, et on sait qu’il a été chauffé à 300 ou 400 degrés. » Donc des hommes étaient là, avec leurs outils préhistoriques pour faire le feu, au moment où les stalagmites ont été installées. Enfin, ce n’est pas une preuve formelle mais les tronçons de stalagmite ont manifestement tous une taille similaire : il y a un calibre moyen pour les tronçons de la grande structure circulaire, et un autre calibre moyen pour les plus petites structures. Or « la nature ne calibre pas les stalagmites ».

    Un seul problème pour l'instant, mais les fouilles doivent être très prudentes de peur de détériorer cette construction : aucune réelle trace de néandertalien dans la grotte, pas d'outils, d'empreintes laissées... mais ce n'est que le début, il va falloir des années pour tout étudier et répondre aux multiples questions : Les Néandertaliens (ou autres ?) sont-ils venus monter leur structure d’un seul jet, en une fois, ou sont-ils venus sur plusieurs saisons  ? Combien de temps faut-il pour organiser savamment deux tonnes de stalagmites à la lueur de torches, à 50 mètres de profondeur  ? « On s’est promis de se donner les moyens de répondre à cette question », affirment les trois chercheurs, qui devraient étudier Bruniquel de nombreuses années encore. Au programme de 2016, ils espèrent faire un peu d’archéologie expérimentale  : « Il faut trouver une grotte qui soit accessible, avec suffisamment de concrétions que l’on puisse bouger… On aimerait bien manipuler des spéléothèmes. ». Il serait en effet possible de reconstituer le travail accompli à cette lointaine époque.

    Il serait aussi intéressant de dater la fermeture de la grotte, qui est bien moins accessible aujourd’hui qu’au paléolithique moyen, et puis revoir des empreintes et des griffures d’ours au fond de la grotte, dans une zone qui n’a pas encore été très explorée de peur de l’abîmer. Peut-être y a-t-il d’autres traces humaines de ce côté-là  ? C'est donc une découverte à suivre, avec probablement des réponses à certaines questions, qui vont encore plus probablement en amener d'autres...

    Une donnée importante à retenir : il y a une vingtaine de "points de chauffe" (ou "âtres", "foyers", "torchères") et ils sont tous situés au-dessus des structures montrées et non pas sur le sol même...

    X-Ray Laser Vaporizes Water Droplets in Striking New Video

    Brightest laser blows up water in a cinematic first

    https://youtu.be/NItuucIaWfE

    Scientists have captured dramatic video footage of what happens to liquid droplets when they are hit with the beam of an X-ray laser. Spoiler alert: They explode.

    These are the first movies of the microscopic realm showing water being vaporized by the world's brightest X-ray laser, taken at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Data from this research could lead to better understanding and use of X-ray lasers in experiments, according to SLAC.

    The footage shows the X-ray pulse ripping a drop of liquid apart, which creates a cloud of smaller particles and vapor. When the X-ray pulse hits a jet of liquid,it initially creates a hole in the stream. As the gap grows, the ends of the jet become an umbrella-like shape, eventually folding back to merge with the jet. [Gallery: Dreamy Images Reveal Beauty in Physics]

    Scientists use X-ray lasers' extremely bright, fast flashes of light to take atomic-level snapshots of nature's speediest processes.

    "Understanding the dynamics of these explosions will allow us to avoid their unwanted effects on samples," Claudiu Stan of the Stanford PULSE Institute, a joint institute of Stanford University in California and SLAC, said in a statement.

    "It could also help us find new ways of using explosions caused by X-rays to trigger changes in samples and study matter under extreme conditions," he said. "These studies could help us better understand a wide range of phenomena in X-ray science and other applications."

    Liquids are commonly used to bring samples into the X-ray beam's path for analysis. In only a tiny fraction of a second, samples can blow up from the power of an ultrabright X-ray, but researchers can, in most cases, take the data they need before damage sets in.

    The new study, published online May 23, 2016, in the journal Nature Physics, shows, in microscopic detail, how these explosions unfold. The researchers took one image, timed from five-billionths of a second to one ten-thousandth of a second, for each X-ray pulse hitting the liquid. The images were then edited together into movies.

    From the data gathered during these experiments and their resulting movies, the researchers developed mathematical models to describe the liquid explosions. These models could help researchers tune the lasers more precisely, and will eventually be used in experiments employing extremely high-powered X-ray lasers. That could include the European XFEL, a laser currently under construction in Germany that will fire thousands of times faster than those at SLAC.

    "The jets in our study took up to several millionths of a second to recover from each explosion, so if X-ray pulses come in faster than that, we may not be able to make use of every single pulse for an experiment," Stan said. "Fortunately, our data show that we can already tune the most commonly used jets in a way that they recover quickly, and there are ways to make them recover even faster."

    Where Are All The Stars? They’re Being Destroyed By Black Holes

    Artist rendition of galaxies 
    Kavli IPMU
    IN BRIEF

    Scientists finally have the evidence to support the theory that black holes are to blame for preventing some galaxies from forming new stars, a long-standing mystery referred to as "galactic warming."

    BLACK HOLE CAUGHT RED-HANDED

    For years, astronomers have been baffled by a mysterious phenomenon in which galaxies are left dormant, with only red dwarf stars remaining in them. These galaxies have the full resources to form new stars, but for some reason, they are not making any new ones—a process called “galactic warming.”

    Astronomers have long suspected that black holes were the culprit, but could not find enough incriminating evidence.

    However, they were recently caught red-handed—using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey’s (SDSS) new field spectroscopic survey, Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA), a new addition to the Sloan Foundation Telescope’s arsenal.

    Because MaNGA can provide more detailed images of galaxies, particularly “two-dimensional maps of stellar velocity” and “velocity dispersion and ionized gas velocity,” among other elements for observation, it is capable of capturing subtle and quick changes to galaxies.

    According to the SDSS: “Unlike previous SDSS surveys which measured spectra only at the centers of target galaxies, MaNGA bundles sets of optical fibers into tightly-packed arrays, enabling spectral measurements across the face of each of ~10,000 nearby galaxies.”

    HOW IT HAPPENS

    Astronomers observed that a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy, named Akira, was pulling gases from another nearby galaxy, Tetsuo. This fuels the black hole in Akira, keeping it alive, and causing it to detonate winds so hot and energetic that it prevents the formation of new stars.

    Edmond Cheung, astronomer at the University of Tokyo’s Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, lead the study along with an international team of astronomers.

    “You can think of these winds as super-heating the atmospheres of galaxies,” says Cheung. “As soon as any gas starts to cool, it gets blasted by this wind, like water droplets turning to steam.”

    The barren galaxies are named “red geysers,” due to the geyser eruption-like wind outbursts the black hole emits, destroying any new stars before they form and leaving the galaxy with only old red dwarfs.

    Planet nine: op zoek naar de ‘best mogelijke verklaring’

    DOOR BENEDICTE LEMMELIJN. 

    pasfoto_BL[1]

    Wetenschappers ontdekten onlangs een nieuwe planeet. Of daar gaan ze toch van uit. De planeet werd nooit echt geobserveerd en het bestaan ervan wordt afgeleid uit indirecte bewijzen. Het is immers de ‘best mogelijke verklaring’. Als zoiets kan binnen de exacte wetenschappen kan het in de theologie dan ook voor de duiding van de werkelijkheid die ons ‘overstijgt’?

    Of u het ook vernam, weet ik niet, maar ik kwam het te weten via de krant… Intussen kan u het overal googelen en het via een leerrijk filmpje te weten komen: Amerikaanse wetenschappers maakten onlangs de ontdekking bekend van een nieuwe planeet in ons eigenste zonnestelsel, ‘planet nine’, de negende. Op zich is dat al opzienbarend nieuws, maar voor mij nog opzienbarender is de wijze waarop deze kennis tot stand komt. Wat ik u hier vertel heeft natuurlijk ongetwijfeld te lijden onder mijn beperkt positief-wetenschappelijk begripsvermogen, maar de kern ervan komt toch wel min of meer in de buurt. Men ontdekte in ons zonnestelsel, héél héél ver van hier, een reusachtige planeet, die tot tien keer groter is dan de aarde met een diameter van twee tot vier keer deze van de aarde, en die twintig keer verder van de zon verwijderd is dan Neptunus, onze verste buur. De kring van haar baan duurt niet één jaar zoals bij de aarde, of tien jaar zoals bij Jupiter, maar twintigduizend jaar! Op zijn minst indrukwekkend…

    Als u nu, zoals ik, dacht dat men deze planeet ontdekt heeft met reuze-telescopen of andere ingenieuze toestellen, dan hebt u het mis. Men heeft namelijk deze planeet nog op geen enkele wijze gezien. Er is geen enkele directe observatie. Men beschikt alleen over ‘indirect bewijs’. Het aannemen van het bestaan van deze megaplaneet wordt, weliswaar op basis van verworven kennis in gelijkaardige observaties, ‘de best mogelijke verklaring’ genoemd voor een aantal verschijnselen die men wél kan zien. Men heeft met name vastgesteld dat elementen zich in de zogenaamde Kuipergordel bewegen in een vaste baan en in dezelfde richting. Er wordt een soort zwaartekracht waargenomen, en dit in een zone die veel groter is dan die van eender welke andere planeet in ons zonnestelsel. De kans dat zoiets toevallig is, is 0,007%: “onmogelijk… tenzij er iets anders aanwezig is”, concluderen de ontdekkers in de Astronomical Journal. “We hebben getracht eerst sceptisch te zijn”, beweren de onderzoekers, maar het blijft “de meest plausibele verklaring”: er moet een planeet zijn die dit alles veroorzaakt.

    Indirecte aanwijzingen

    Onze nieuwe verre buur wordt dus niet bekend gemaakt omdat hij direct geobserveerd werd. Neen, zijn bestaan wordt ‘gepostuleerd’, en ja, u leest het goed: ‘gepostuleerd’, op basis van deductie tegen de achtergrond van de toepassing van wiskundige modellen en computersimulaties. Voor mij, die geleerd werd dat positieve wetenschappen met ‘bewijzen’ en ‘feiten’ werken, klinkt dit merkwaardig. Als we in de theologie en de filosofie nadenken, observeren, induceren en deduceren en dat ook op een methodische wijze – lees: ‘wetenschappelijke’ wijze –, doen, dan wordt dit niet positief-wetenschappelijk genoemd. Maar wat me nog méér treft, is de volkomen analogie in een andere deductie.

    Al duizenden jaren zien, observeren en beschrijven wij, kleine mensen, wat er is, wat er groeit en bloeit, wat er beweegt en zich ontplooit in de natuur die ongelooflijk mooi en ingenieus in elkaar zit. We bewonderen de kern van de menselijke cellen en de bouw van een regenworm. We onderzoeken de samenstelling van de wolken en beschrijven met verbazing de wijze van ademhalen en drinken van een sprietje duingras. En niet in het minst staren we ons blind op het heelal in al zijn duizelingwekkende grootsheid… Bij het aanschouwen van zoveel ‘indirect bewijs’, zij wij, mensenkinderen, tot de conclusie gekomen dat ‘de best mogelijke verklaring’ zou zijn dat er ‘iets anders en groters moet zijn’ aan de oorsprong van dat alles. In de grondlaag van alle religies articuleerde zich een scheppingsgedachte die ingebed werd en wordt in een ‘geloof’ in iets dat die mooie wereld overstijgt, in het ‘transcendente’. Dat iets werd Iemand, en die Iemand wordt God genoemd.

    Neen, we zien dat ‘andere’, dat ‘grotere’, dat ‘goddelijke’ niet. Inderdaad, we geven het in onze theologie ook grif toe. ‘God is groter’: we kunnen hem niet ‘vatten’ of begrijpen. Maar wat we wél zien, zijn ‘indirecte aanwijzingen’, zou men kunnen zeggen. En alle filosofische en theologische godsbewijzen die al dan niet overtuigen ten spijt, is het zien van wat we wel kunnen zien – net zoals de vliegende elementen in de baan van onze nieuwe mysterieuze planeet – de eerste aanleiding tot het ‘postuleren’ van de ‘best mogelijke en meest plausibele verklaring’ ervan: iets of iemand, hoe we die ook omschrijven of zijn gaan invullen, die ons mensen en onze hele wereld, het heelal en ‘planet nine’ incluis, overstijgt…

    An Alien in Our Solar System: Planet 9 Might Have Once Belonged to Another Star

    Planet 9
     NASA
    IN BRIEF

    Astronomers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered—through detailed computer simulations—that the hypothetical “Planet 9” might actually be an exoplanet that was stolen by the Sun from another star during the chaotic early days of the Solar System.

    THE CHANGELING

    It seems our Solar System’s planets might have a foster sibling. “Planet 9,” which has been much in the news of late, may really be the spawn of another sun.

    At least that’s the word coming out of a computer simulation study run by a team of astronomers at Lund University in Sweden, which examined the orbital dynamics of the Solar System during its early youth, some 4.5 billion years ago.

    If it’s true, it means our Solar System hosts an interstellar interloper—an extrasolar planet that’s not “extrasolar” at all, but is a member of our Sun’s own retinue of planetary bodies.

    Which leads to a very unusual possibility—the first exoplanet we visit may actually belong to our own Solar System.

    “It is almost ironic that while astronomers often find exoplanets hundreds of light years away in other solar systems, there’s probably one hiding in our own backyard,” observes Alexander Mustill of Lund University.

    CRADLE-ROBBING

    Now, this doesn’t mean our Sun was a malignant and mean-spirited parent, robbing sibling stars of their rightful children. But it’s a function of the curious gravitational dynamics that were likely at play in the Solar System’s natal cloud—what was probably a giant star-formation factory, somewhat like the famous Orion or Carina nebulas.

    These immense molecular clouds are dominated by a central cluster of extremely big—and extremely short-lived—O and B type stars; these explode after a few million years, releasing density waves that further contract the star-formation cloud, and spawn the condensation of thousands of smaller stars.

    So our own Sun was merely one of many similar stars that formed in very close proximity to each other. In fact, 4.5 billion years ago, our sun was closer to other stars than it ever will (very likely) be again. This meant a lot of fidgety jostling, as young siblings are wont to do—a lot of gravitational pushing and shoving.

    And the Lund University simulation indicates that the Sun probably captured Planet 9 after a particularly energetic bit of stellar horseplay.

    “Planet 9 may very well have been ‘shoved’ by other planets, and when it ended up in an orbit that was too wide around its own star, our Sun may have taken the opportunity to steal and capture Planet 9 from its original star,” Mustill continues.

    “When the Sun later departed from the stellar cluster in which it was born, Planet 9 was stuck in an orbit around the Sun.”

    It’s even possible than certain outer planets of our own early Solar System were stripped away and captured by the Sun’s nursery-mates; in any case, if Planet 9 really is a captured exoplanet, it probably means our only real chance to study an alien planet up close.

    “This is the only exoplanet that we, realistically, would be able to reach using a space probe,” Mustill concludes.

    America’s New Superweapon? Electromagnetic Projectile Launchers That Fire at 4500 MPH

     
    The railgun projectile gains speed as it travels the length of a 32-foot barrel, exiting the muzzle at 4,500 miles an hour, or more than a mile a second.
    How it works!
    U.S. Department of Defense
    IN BRIEF

    The new focus of military weapons right now is the railgun. It is capable of launching a projectile 125 miles at Mach 6 speeds using electromagnetic fields.

    EXPERIMENTAL WEAPONS

    For several years now, America has been toying with the idea of railguns, weapons that fire not through gunpowder or chemical explosives, but through electromagnetic fields. Yes, these are electromagnetic projectile launchers. Now, they are not only close to reality, but right on the cusp of deployment.

    Essentially, the railguns being developed right now operate on the following concept: There are electrical current charges on either side of the barrel of the gun, creating magnetic fields that push projectiles at amazing speeds.

    What’s more, in contrast to conventional bullets that lose acceleration mere moments after the powder ignites, railgun bullets actually speed up. The railgun projectile gains more speed as it travels the length of the 32-foot (~10 m) barrel, exiting the muzzle at a staggering 4,500 miles an hour (more than 7,000 kph), or more than a mile a second.

    Check out the tech in the video below:

    Amazing speeds make for amazing impacts…and the utter destruction of amazing targets. The military is already envisioning the use of railguns against basically everything—tanks, aircraft, ships, terrorist camps, even other missiles.

    But in truth, railguns are not an entirely new field for the military. Former President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative—the Star Wars missile defense—wanted to use the railgun to shoot down nuclear missiles. Those plans were stalled by 1980s technology. Now they are actually possible.

    BRINGING BACK BATTLESHIPS

    One of the first platforms the railgun will be gracing is, not surprisingly, ships. Particularly, battleships and destroyers. Due to the large power requirements of the gun— a 25 megawatt power plant and large capacitor bank— only ships can carry it, with the most likely candidate being the DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyers and its 78-megawatt integrated power system

    The Navy retired much of its gun battleships after WWII, due to limited range and accuracy of gunpowder weapons. Missiles and jet fighters became the name of the game during the Cold War, extending range of ship operations. Now, battleships may get a resurgence.

    The Navy’s current 6-inch guns have a range of 15 miles (24 km). The 16-inch guns of WWII battleships are at 24 miles (38 km). In contrast, the railgun has a range of 125 miles (201 km).

    When fitted with railgun tech, the range of 6-inch Navy guns was extended to 38 miles (61 km). The Army’s 155mm howitzers also got extended range when fitted with the tech.

    Polar Mesospheric Clouds Illuminated by Orbital Sunrise

    Polar Mesospheric Clouds Illuminated by Orbital Sunrise
    acquired June 16, 2010download large image (302 KB, JPEG, 1440x720)

    Polar mesospheric clouds can be observed from both the Earth’s surface and in orbit by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The clouds are also called noctilucent, or “night-shining,” clouds because they are usually seen at twilight. When the Sun sets below the horizon and the Earth’s surface gets dark, these clouds are still briefly illuminated by sunlight. Occasionally the space station’s high-altitude orbital track becomes nearly parallel to the Earth’s day/night terminator for a time, allowing polar mesospheric clouds to be visible to the crew at times other than the usual twilight.

    This unusual astronaut photograph shows polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by the rising, rather than setting Sun. Low clouds on the horizon appear yellow and orange, while higher clouds and aerosols (particles like dust and pollution) are illuminated a brilliant white. Polar mesospheric clouds appear as light blue ribbons extending across the top of the image. These clouds typically occur at high latitudes of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and high altitudes (76–85 kilometers, near the boundary between the mesosphere and thermosphere atmospheric layers).

    The ISS was located over the Greek island of Kos in the Aegean Sea (near the southwestern coastline of Turkey) when the image was taken at approximately midnight local time. The ISS was tracking northeastward, nearly parallel to the terminator, making it possible to observe an apparent “sunrise” almost due north. Earlier this year, a similarly unusual alignment of the ISS orbit track, the terminator position, and the seasonal position of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun allowed astronauts to capture striking imagery of polar mesospheric clouds over the Southern Hemisphere.

    Astronaut photograph ISS024-E-6136 was acquired on June 16, 2010, with a Nikon D2Xs digital camera using a 180 mm lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by the Expedition 24 crew. The image in this article has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast. Lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by William L. Stefanov and Michael Trenchard, NASA-JSC.

    This mysterious white UFO has got the internet puzzled – what is it?

    https://youtu.be/Tx9QC4QWMvU

    FOOTAGE of a UFO captured by an amateur drone enthusiast has mystified internet users attempting to identify the strange object.

    The four-second clip, filmed from 80 metres above Silicon Valley, California, last year, shows a small white object shoot across the sky past the hovering drone.

    The speed of the object appears to rule out insects or dust from air pollution as possible explanations.

    Confused Reddit users attempted to make sense of the mystery.

    MYSTERIOUS LIFE: Internet users are struggling to explain what the object could be

    “Even though it's quite a bit of motion blur on the object it appears to have some what of a distinct shape to it,” said Wyldcat.

    “Either a disc shape or a wing shape with a cylinder/jet engine on top of it.”

    Other users called for freeze frames to be analysed of the shape in order to ensure that they were not being fooled by CGI hoaxers.

    “I thought it was a bug at first, but after watching the slow motion video it has to be some kind of military drone or something,” said EducatedHippy.

    YOUTUBE

    SKY HIGH: A drone hovering at 80m above Silicon Valley, California, captured the video

    One YouTube user estimated the distance the object travelled as around one mile every one to two seconds.

    That would give it a speed of around 2890 km/h, roughly 2.4 times the speed of sound.

    The airspeed record is held by the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, clocking in a top speed of 3,529.6 km/h.

    “I have no idea what this is, maybe a bug, hummingbird, reflection or alien space craft!” wrote the video’s author, Darmino, on a drone enthusiasts’ forum.

    “The only thing I know for sure is that I did nothing that would cause this.”

    Last month, NASA were accused of covering up the existence of extra-terrestrials after mysteriously cutting the live feed of the International Space Station just as a UFO appeared within frame.

    NASA Claim “Dozens” Of Advanced Civilisations Existed Before Us

    Kiki Kendrick

    Kiki Kendrick

    Zon Staff

    A new NASA study reveals that dozens of ancient advanced civilisations much like ours once existed on Earth, but they all came to an abrupt end.

    NASA claim dozens of ancient civilisations existed before us

    The study suggests that humanity as we know it could come to an end in the next few decades based on the patterns observed with these previous civilisations.

    Fabweb.org reports:

    If we look back in history, 3000 – 5000 years, we will find a historical record that clearly shows us how advanced and complex civilizations were just as susceptible to collapse as we are today. This ongoing pattern has led researchers to question the future existence of society and civilization as we know.

    If we were to look back further back in time, over 10,000 years, we would encounter evidence of advanced civilizations that possibly predate the Pre-Inca, Olmec, and Ancient Egyptian civilization, not to mention other advanced ancient civilizations in ancient Mesopotamia.

    It is difficult to overlook the repeating patterns identified by scholars in most of these civilizations and the NASA funded study is clear evidence of the path ancient civilizations on EArth have taken for thousands of years. This is considered by many people as a sign that clearly states that ancient civilizations have reset a number of times.

    These factors have kept on repeating themselves and have been the culprit for ancient civilizations before us.  In the report, applied mathematician Safa Motesharri and his “Human and Nature Dynamical” model claims that “the process of rise-and-collapse is actually a recurrent cycle found throughout history.”

    "The fall of the Roman Empire, and the equally (if not more) advanced Han, Mauryan, and Gupta Empires, as well as so many advanced Mesopotamian Empires, are all testimony to the fact that advanced, sophisticated, complex, and creative civilizations can be both fragile and impermanent.”

    The study came to the conclusion that there are two key social features that contributed to the collapse of every single advanced civilization from the past: “the stretching of resources due to the strain placed on the ecological carrying capacity”; and “the economic stratification of society into Elites [rich] and Masses (or “Commoners”) [poor]” These social phenomena have played “a central role in the character or in the process of the collapse,” in all such cases over “the last five thousand years.”

    Even though our civilizations is at a very advanced technological stage, this does not necessarily mean that we are saved from imminent chaos. In the study we find that “Technological change can raise the efficiency of resource use, but it also tends to raise both per capita resource consumption and the scale of resource extraction, so that, absent policy effects, the increases in consumption often compensate for the increased efficiency of resource use.”

    One of the best examples of advanced ancient civilizations disappearing can be found in Mesoamerica.

    If we take a look at the ancient Maya who were an extremely advanced ancient civilization we find that several factors played a crucial role for this once great empire to crumble eventually. While most researchers would agree that Deforestation, Famine and Drought where some of the key components in the failure of the ancient Maya, we find a similar pattern in other civilizations, not only I the Americas, but around the globe.

    Motesharrei and his colleagues conclude that under conditions “closely reflecting the reality of the world today… we find that collapse is difficult to avoid.” In the first of these scenarios, civilization:

    “…. appears to be on a sustainable path for quite a long time, but even using an optimal depletion rate and starting with a very small number of Elites, the Elites eventually consume too much, resulting in a famine among Commoners that eventually causes the collapse of society. It is important to note that this Type-L collapse is due to an inequality-induced famine that causes a loss of workers, rather than a collapse of Nature.”

    POSSIBLE ALIEN ABDUCTION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM WITH PHOTOS
    MAY 28, 2016 …………… NEWTON ABBOT DEVON ENGLAND
    Hi ken, I hope all is well. I was sky watching when I spotted a mystery object that was hanging in the sky. I  managed to take one photograph of this object before it moved off into the distance at incredible speed. When I later looked at the photograph I could see what appears to be a small alien being that appears to be sticking it’s head and body out of the side of the UFO. This is very strange as there are no visible signs of a door or window on the UFO. what’s even more strange is the alien being appears to be wearing a hat. WTF. I have taken some really strange photographs and have had many strange experiences in my lifetime. You Just couldn’t make this up it’s truly bizarre. The photograph was taken on the 28th of may ‎2016 at 12:19 PM GMT at Newton Abbot Devon UK. Newton Abbot seems to be a hot bed for strange activity.

    I have seen a similar alien before three years ago in fact. One morning I was on my way to work and had a strange encounter. It was 4.30 am in the morning and it was pitch black. All the street lights were out because the council were trying to save money by switching them all off at night.
    Because there were no street lights, I carried a small LED torch so I could see were I was walking. It was a cold morning and I had just walked past the local church and cemetery when I heard a loud crash that seemed to come from further down the road. I continued walking in that direction and heard another loud crashing sound. I turned my LED torch in the direction of the crashing sound. I could see all the dustbins were knocked over and there was a midget in a parka coat standing there looking towards the bins. The bins had been emptied the day before so there was no rubbish. The midget noticed my presence and turned towards me. I could see that the midget’s parka coat hood was pulled really tight around his head and face. I could barely see his face. He looked strange…
    There was something not quite right about him. We stood there face to face for a second before I plucked up the courage to say something. I said morning. There was no response from the midget. With that the midget turned back around to where he had originally been facing. The midget then started to stand the bins up one by one until the bins were in a row. The midget then started laughing in a very strange squeaky voice and then ran at the bins with all his might knocking the bins flying in different directions. I looked on bemused as the midget started to stand the bins again. The midget then ran at the bins once again. I then shouted what the F**K are you doing! With that there was an intense bright white light that lit up the housing estate like it was a summer’s day. The light was so bright it hurt my eyes.
    After what seemed like a couple of seconds the light went out. It was pitch black again and I shone my LED torch over the area where the midget had been standing but the midget was no longer there. All the bins were stood up neatly in a line and there was no sign of any disturbance. I looked at my watch and I had lost about 15 minutes. I felt very sick and my eyes were extremely sore. I was late for work and I was feeling sick and dizzy so I returned home dazed and confused . I did not go into work that day. I was really ill. I have been puzzled by this bizarre experience for three years now and seeing that alien in the photograph brought back memories of this encounter. The hat wearing alien looks very similar to that midget in a parka coat. Did I really see this or is this a False memory?. I could not account for the 15 minutes I lost.  Was this a case of alien abduction or a strange alien encounter? What do you think ken? Have you ever heard of anything quite like this before.

    The Coso Artifact—Did the Ancients Use Electricity Some 500,000 Years Ago?

    Discoveries of man-made objects confined in pieces of rock or coal offer a very alluring and tangible evidence that in the “impossibly” distant past, humanity was significantly more technologically advanced than we could even comprehend.
     
    At the top of a mountain peak, 4,300 feet above sea level, encased inside a stone lay a genuine example of ancient advanced technology, dating from millennia before the historical advent of the Homo sapiens.
     
    On February 13, 1961, Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey and Mike Mikesell, owners of the Gem and Gift Shop in Olancha, California, went into the Coso Mountains to supply the minerals stock for their shop.
     
    To their surprise, in that day they would find not only minerals, but something that may unravel a major conundrum of the ancient human history. In their search for minerals, they stumbled upon an unusual fossil-encrusted geode. Having caught their interest, Mike Mikesell decided to investigate further over the peculiar rock’s structure.
     
    In the process of cutting it open, Mike Mikesell found to his fascination that the geode proved to contain something strange. In the middle of the stone there was a metal core, about 2 millimeters in diameter.
     
    Casing the core was what seemed to be a ceramic collar that was itself sheathed in a hexagonal sleeve carved out of wood that had become petrified, presumably at a later date.
     
     
    Around the fossilized wooden shell was the exterior layer of the geode consisting of solidified clay, pebbles, scraps of fossilized shells, and two non-magnetic metallic items that seemed identical to a regular nail and washer.
     
    A piece of copper still remaining between the ceramic and the fossilized wood indicates that the two may have been detached by a now decomposed copper sleeve.
     
    X-ray tests of the item brought to light an object that resembles very much to present-days’ spark plugs.
     
    Considering the approximate layering and structure of the outer crust, the object has been dated from 250,000 to 500,000 BC. However, the name of the geologist is either kept a secret or simply not mentioned in any source material.
     
    n an earlier statement from 1961, an INFO member claimed the object had magnetic properties, but a few years later, in 1969, said magnetism was no longer present.
     
    Despite its assumed extraterrestrial origins, the Coso artifact isn’t just a random spark plug encased in a fossil. Its construction clearly reveals that it is very similar to the first superconductors.
     
    After a series of thorough tests and meticulous X-ray analysis of the Coso artifact, it was revealed that the so called geode was actually a form of mechanical device. Its metallic shaft presented rust at one end, but the other end was bound to a metal spring.
     
    The ceramic finish and the copper and metallic inner parts hint at a kind of electrical apparatus. Though it’s very much alike a spark plug, its helix terminal does not relate to any of our days’ spark plugs.
     
     
    To push the mystery around the Coso artifact even further, some geologists claim that the rock where it was found encased was at least 500.000 years old, because it fossilized in sedimentary rock deposited during the Great Flood.
     
    This artifact is of extreme importance to archaeologists and geologists, for it reveals the antediluvians had attained impressive progress beyond our expectations: they had discovered and learned to manipulate electricity many thousands of years before the reintroduction of this knowledge into our age of civilization.
     
    Like all ancient artifacts that may hold clues to our enigmatic ancient history, the artifact disappeared three years after it was displayed for only three months at the Eastern California Museum of Independence.
     
    To spice these intriguing conspiracy-like events, in September 1999, an attempt to track the missing artifact has proven unsuccessful, having no leads to the whereabouts of the first people that discovered the Coso artifact, although the chances were some of the three people involved in the discovery had died before then. The only one known to be still alive is Virginia Maxey, but she refuses to publicly comment about the artifact.

    Is this Strange Desert Mineral Evidence of Ancient Nuclear Warfare?

    Seven years after the nuclear detonations in New Mexico, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the ‘father of the atomic bomb’ was asked during a lecture if he had been the first person to conduct atomic tests. His reply was: Yes, in modern times.
     
    Although at the time his answer was considered cryptic or at least vague, Dr. Oppenheimer was alluding to a series of ancient Hindu texts that described the occurrence of large-scale catastrophes that did not correspond to any recorded natural disasters. More specifically, he was referring to the Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Sanskrit writing that portrayed the detonation and effects of a powerful “unknown weapon”.
     
    This subject is obstinately avoided by the scientific community but there is evidence supporting events such as this one. This evidence routinely comes in the form of fused glass fragments found in many deserts all over the world. These pieces of glass closely resemble those found at the Alamogordo atomic proving grounds, the place where the modern world’s first nuclear device was detonated. Desert glass forms when temperatures in excess of 3,300 degrees Fahrenheit (1,800º Celsius) cause the sand grains to melt and fuse together.
     
    A STRANGE PIECE OF GLASS FROM THE LIBYAN DESERT
     
    They were first described by Patrick Clayton who encountered them while surveying the Sahara in 1932. Clayton discovered huge chunks of yellowish-green glass in the sand and presented them to fellow geologists. A possible explanation came almost 50 years later when one of the engineers that helped create the atomic bomb was revisiting the testing site in New Mexico. He noticed glass fragments that were similar to those he had seen in the desert, albeit much smaller.
     
    NEW MEXICO ATOMIC GLASS, NAMED TRINITITE, AFTER THE TRINITY PROJECT
     
    Being open-minded, he made a connection. Being an engineer, he did the math and was astounded by the results. In order to produce desert glass the size of the pieces found by Clayton, the explosion had to have been 10,000 more powerful than the one in New Mexico. A very plausible explanation was proposed: the glass had formed due to asteroid/comet/giant meteorite impacts. Such impacts would certainly fit the profile as they cold easily produce the tremendous amount of heat required to fuse silicon crystals.
     
    But an impact that great would also leave behind a noticeably large crater and no such craters were found in the desert. Glass was found in the Sahara, the Mojave and the Desert of Libya but neither sonar nor satellite imagery could find any accompanying craters. Furthermore, the Libyan glass had a very high purity and clarity (over 99 percent). In the case of meteorite impact, the silicon is fused together with iron from the meteorite itself as well as other adulterants.
     
    METEORITIC DESERT GLASS
     
    When we piece together all the clues, the picture becomes clearer and we have to ask ourselves: is it truly impossible that ancient civilizations reached a technological level similar to others? Have we truly explored all possibilities? After all, depictions of terrible weapons capable to obliterate entire cities are found in the legends of many cultures, separated by both space and time. Were those depictions nothing more than the work of human imagination envisioning the superlative weapon? What about the physical evidence then? Where does it fit?
     
    In my opinion, considering ourselves the first and only civilization on Earth to have split the atom is nothing short of absolute vanity and we all know where that leads to.

    KGB and CIA reveal secret recording !!!

    There are many UFO photographs and videos circulating on the web , and although we do not doubt the existence of life on other planets , we can not help but question the veracity of each of the images shown . Therefore the question … How accurate and real are the compilation of images that were released by the KGB and CIA?

    Weird Things Keep Happening in Mexico’s Mysterious Zona del Silencio

    The Bolsón de Mapimi basin in Mexico is home to a very strange area called La Zona del Silencio – The Silent Zone. Located between the states of Durango, Chihuahua and Coahuila, this area achieved notoriety thanks to a number of unexplained anomalies.
     
    The Zone of Silence first gained attention in the 1930s, when a Mexican airplane pilot named Francisco Sarabia experienced some difficulties while flying over the mysterious patch of desert. The instruments aboard his plane inexplicably started malfunctioning; he couldn’t receive nor send any radio transmissions and the compass had a hard time pointing north. He chalked it off to some disturbances in the local magnetic fields and, for another 30-something years, the issue would remain in obscurity.
     
     
    Attention was once again drawn to the area in the 1970’s when an Athena test missile was launched from a military base near Green River, Utah. Its destination was the White Sands Proving Grounds in New Mexico. Without warning or explanation, it went 400 miles off course and crashed into the Zona del Silencio. A team of scientists and US Air Force officials were promptly and secretly sent to recover the missile and investigate the region. To their surprise, they ended up discovering several abnormalities.
     
    Careful measurements showed that within the Mapimi basin there is an unspecified, fluctuating area through which radio signals cannot travel. The zone acts like an absorbent barrier for television, radio, short wave, microwave and satellite signals. Despite increasing the intensity of the transmission, these waves simply couldn’t make it through. The name Zone of Silence was quickly adopted and scientific interest brought a number of researchers looking for answers.
     
    With the aid of the U.S., the Mexican government built a research facility whose purpose was to allegedly study the local flora and fauna. It is said that plants and animals in the Zone of Silence suffer strange and unique mutations found nowhere else in the world. But there are rumors claiming that this is just a front for far more secretive and obscure groundwork taking place in the Silent Zone.
     
     
    One of the odd attributes of the region is its unusually high levels of magnetite and uranium deposits that scientists believe are causing electromagnetic pulses able to disrupt radio signals. It is also a hotbed for meteorites, which could account for the magnetic properties that cause metallic objects to end up falling from the skies. But things still don’t add up.
     
    As it turns out, the Zone of Silence is located on the same latitude as the Egyptian Pyramids, the ill-fated Bermuda Triangle and the sacred cities of Tibet. Mere coincidence or further evidence towards the zone’s peculiar characteristics?
     
    THE STRAIGHT LINE DOESN’T LIE
     
    Some say the area could be a magnetic grid point where the Earth’s energy is concentrated and the unusually high energy levels are drawing in extraterrestrial activity. And if there’s one thing the Zone of Silence has plenty of, it’s unusual occurrences linked to the UFO phenomenon.
     
    Strange lights, floating orbs, burning bushes, flying saucers, and alien encounters have all been reported with a degree of abundance in the area. Locals report mysterious lights filling up the night sky and floating aircraft landing in the desert and causing small, localized fires wherever they touch the ground.
     
    Some theorists proposed the continued existence of a portal in the area. Mexican ranchers tell tales of mysterious lights hovering over the Silent Zone and strangers appearing out of thin air. Multiple witnesses report encountering the same three blonde humans that always asked for water, but never for food. When asked where they were from, the strangers invariably responded that they “came from above.”
     
    As always, tangible evidence was not provided or perhaps is being kept secret. Regardless of the official answers, the area is home to several phenomena that defy explanation. We are left wondering whether the unusual magnetic properties of the Silent Zone are a natural occurrence or are caused by something that we do not yet understand.
