THE INEVITABLE IS ALMOST HERE: WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD FINDS OUT?
THE INEVITABLE IS ALMOST HERE: WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD FINDS OUT?
Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) have been a topic of interest for decades, and with the recent release of thousands of previously classified government documents, we now know without question that government, military, and other defence agencies have had a high level of interest in this topic for a very long time.
These files indicate that objects are commonly tracked on both air and ground radar, as well as visually confirmed by the pilots who are sent out to intercept them.
Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data. – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979). From UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2, written by Richard Dolan.
For instance, here is an excellent example of a defence intelligence agency report detailing what commonly happens when a UFO is tracked on radar, and pilots attempt to intercept it (one of thousands). Apart from traveling at tremendous speeds and performing impossible maneuvers that no known aircraft can perform, when military jets enter the object’s vicinity, they usually experience critical instrumentation failure.
When President Truman made the statement that they discuss this issue at every conference that the government has held with the military, many people took notice. Peter Andrew Sturrock, a British scientist and an Emeritus Professor of Applied Physics at Stanford University, reminded us decades ago that we need to move forward with UFO research; this was in the 1960s. He stated that:
If it does indeed turn out that there is relevant physical evidence, if this evidence is carefully collected and analyzed, and if this analysis leads to the identification of several facts concerning the UFO phenomenon, then will be the time for scientists to step back and ask, What are these facts trying to tell us?(source)
After that, we had scientists like Dr. Jacques Vallee, notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA, and for his work at SRI International on the network information centre for ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet, publishing work in peer-reviewed scientific journals. For example, a study published in Scientific Exploration titled “Estimates of Optical Power Output in Six Cases Of Unexplained Aeriel Objects With Defined Luminosity Characteristics.” Apart from performing impossible maneuvers, the files also indicate some sort of electromagnetic effect when craft enter the vicinity of some of these UFOs. Critical weapons and electronic systems completely shut down. You can read about a classic example of that from two Canadian military pilots here.
To read about more examples, you can read this article we published on the topic a few years back. These are truly astonishing cases.
Above is just a tidbit of information regarding the UFO phenomenon. This field is littered with information ranging from declassified documents, from video footage, to statements from some of the ‘highest-ranking’ military and political people in the world.
So, ask yourself, why has it taken so long to accustom people to the fact that these objects are real, do exist, and have possibly existed well before the existence of modern day humans? Former head of the CIA, Roscoe Hillenoketter told the NY times in 1960 that:
Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.
Here is an excellent video summarizing the UFO problem up in 10 minutes, give by UFO researcherRichard Dolan, given at the citizens hearing on disclosure organized by Steven Basset. It was a conference that gathered academicians, high ranking military and political personnel from around the world. I’ve used it multiple times in my articles so forgive me if you’ve already seen it.
Do UFOs = Extraterrestrial Craft?
Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, ETs, etc. . . . They are visiting Earth NOW; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking. – Theodore C. Loder III, Phd, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire (source)
UFO doesn’t necessarily mean extraterrestrial, but, as with all of the evidence that presented itself prior to the disclosure of their existence, we have similar evidence and a great deal of information to believe that the extraterrestrial hypothesis is a possible explanation for some of these UFOs. A few years ago, you were branded a ‘conspiracy theorist’ for believing that UFOs are real. Today, more than half of the American population believes in their existence, and this was before dozens of governments decided to disclose their existence. A simple google search of the latest polls will show you this statistic.
This thing has gotten so highly-classified… it is just impossible to get anything on it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.– Senator Barry Goldwater, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (source)
Both NASA astronauts and high-ranking military personnel have told us that we are not alone, and that governments are aware of several different extraterrestrial races. It wasn’t long ago when Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Defence Minister stated that the government knows of at least four, or the Edgar Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon told us that he has been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we are not alone, and that ‘they’ have been visiting us for years. (source)
There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations. Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.– Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (source)
Perhaps it’s stories like the one that came out of Zimbabwe decades ago, where Harvard professor John Mack, heavily sponsored by Lawrence Rockefeller, uncovered a case of more than 60 school children witnessing a large craft landing with alien beings emerging from it. You can read more about that here. Perhaps it’s the fact that hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people have reported supposed encounters with extraterrestrial beings, either forced, friendly, or ‘unfriendly,’ or perhaps its the implant phenomenon. The list as to why the extraterrestrial hypothesis is plausible is a very long one, just as with the UFO phenomenon and the validity of it before it became mainstream, the reality of the extraterrestrial hypothesis is also very plausible, and based on my 10 + years of research, 100% definite. As former NASA astronaut and Princeton Physics professor Brian O’leary told the world, “there is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time.” (source)
It is my thesis that flying saucers are real and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our Earth for centuries. -Herman Oberth, one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics(source)
Even in the mainstream, scientists have told the world that we are not alone, that the probability for that possibility is next to zero, and that extraterrestrial life will most likely be discovered within the next couple of years.
Here is another video that I’ve used dozens of times, but I just want to get the point across that there is strong evidence for the extraterrestrial hypothesis, despite the fact that some believe it is weak.
What Will Happen When The World Finds Out We Are Not Alone?
The question is not if, it’s when.
We’ve been bombarded with alien propaganda for decades, and now, the topic is being taken more seriously by the mainstream, and people within the public eye. Hilary Clinton is a great example, as she is getting mainstream coverage regarding her willingness to ‘find out the truth.’ Even the head of her current presidential campaign, Jon Podesta, is a big advocate for UFO disclosure.
But this is confusing, given the fact that a number of government and military officials worldwide have been telling us the truth for decades. Why is truth only truth when mainstream media, or a person of extreme popularity within the public eye brings it up? This is a problem. When a big event happens, like 9/11, or, let’s say, an official announcement about the extraterrestrial presence, the worldwide population will be glued to the TV screen awaiting an explanation, without questioning it. I would be cautious of any information we receive from western governments that comes in the form of a major announcement.
We’ve seen deception on a number of different topics, from the ‘war on drugs’ to the ‘war on terror,’ so don’t expect something like this to be any different. Mainstream media like sot take real events and twist our perception regarding what’s going on behind them.
That being said, when we do find out, en masse, that we are not alone, there are so many questions to ask. The mere existence of these UFOs without the alien hypothesis even being contemplated brings up questions of science. How are they moving the way they do? They perform maneuvers that no known aircraft can. They tend to stop on a dime and hover, what type of propulsion systems are they using?
It’s certainly not the burning of fossil fuels. Who are they? Where do they come from? What else do they know? How do they get here? What about religion? What about panic? What about all of the years of secrecy and the questions that have been asked and answered by those keeping secrets? As you can imagine, there will be multiple questions, and you can bet that the world will come to a standstill in search of answers to their questions. It’s a topic that will touch all aspects of humanity, and humanity would be changed forever.
There is another way, whether it’s wormholes or warping space, there’s got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that they’re here shows us that they found a way. – Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of physics, University of Nebraska. (source)
Perhaps the realization that we are not alone, and eventual open contact with extraterrestrials can help us answer questions about ourselves. Of course, contact is already happening, just not on a massive scale.
Yes, it’s both. It’s both literally, physically happening to a degree; and it’s also some kind of psychological, spiritual experience occurring and originating perhaps in another dimension. And so the phenomenon stretches us, or it asks us to stretch to open to realities that are not simply the literal physical world, but to extend to the possibility that there are other unseen realities from which our consciousness, our, if you will, learning processes over the past several hundred years have closed us off. – John Mack (source)
It seems to me that we are beyond the ‘panic’ point. I personally believe that we’ve been visited for a very long time, and if anything like that was to ever happen, it would have already taken place.
To really learn more about this topic, one has to be interested in it. To find out the why, whats, and the where, one can do the research and come up with educated guesses without ever being sure. It’s a deep topic that has branched into so many other areas of our existence: to faith, to health, and technology, all the way to our socio-economic structure and the way we decide to do things here on our planet.
The main point here is that people are going to have questions, and we are going to need teachers other than those who have been using mainstream media to dish out lies to the masses in order to fulfill some sort of agenda.
It will no doubt be interesting to see, in fact, it’s already taking place on an individual level. Slowly butsurely.
Some of what people report as UFOs are extraterrestrial (ET) vehicles. Some of those extraterrestrial vehicles actually have ET crews, and some of those ET crews catch and release humans. — Dr. Don Donderi, a retired McGill University Professor of 40 years in the Department of Psychology (source)

VIDÉO - La Nasa livre des images à couper le souffle de la surface de Pluton
Des images prises par la sonde New Horizons en juillet 2015 sur la planète naine révèlent un paysage accidenté et somptueux, proche de ce qu'on peut observer à la surface de la Terre.
New Horizons' Extreme Close-Up of Pluto’s Surface (no audio)Crédit Image : capture d'écran YouTube
Plateaux, cratères et glaciers d'azote : ce sont des images incroyables qu'a révélé la Nasa. Dans une vidéo diffusée le 27 mai sur son site internet, l'agence spatiale américaine montre des images de la surface de Pluton, prises par la sonde spatiale New Horizons en juillet 2015, quand celle-ci était avait approché au plus près la planète naine.
Selon la Nasa, il s'agit de "l'aperçu le plus détaillé de la surface de Pluton" que l'on pourra voir avant un long moment. D'une résolution de 80 mètres par pixels, ces images vont permettre aux scientifiques d'examiner en détail les différents types de sols de Pluton et de comprendre comment ils se sont formés.
On peut notamment y discerner un terrain accidenté, des chaînes de montagnes anguleuses et chaotiques, d'immenses plaines, des glaciers et de profondes crevasses. "Ces images sont simplement magnétiques", résume Alan Stern, chercheur au Southern Research Institute de Boulder (Colorado).
In 1950s the idea of creating the nuclear airplane, the long range strategic bomber powered on the power of atom was considered as a necessity by Soviet generals. At that time there was already built first Russian atomic ice breaker with its independent nuclear reactor on board. So the plane seemed to be pretty real. To give you a little spoiler on this post - yes, they finally was to able to build a working plane with a nuclear reactor on board which was powering it during the flight. Interested? Let's see how it all looked like:
There were almost 1,000 long range strategic bombers in the USA able to deliver nuclear bombs right into Russia at that time and Soviet army officials were afraid they had no such long range planes so they decided to get those, but not traditional propeller or jet powered ones but rather a nuclear one.
Why nuclear? Because according to their calculations the supersonic planes of big size needed for the transportation of lots of bombs would need over 10,000 tons of fuel just for one flight. Even storing such amounts of aircraft petrol in one place tend to be a problem.
Here on the pictures you can see a proposed design for the first plane with atomic nuclear reactor on board.
In June 1952 the leading Soviet nuclear engineer Alexandrov was telling the "godfather" of Soviet atomic industry Kurchatov: "Our knowledge of atomic reactors allows us to raise a question of achieving the development of engines powered with atomic force in nearest years".
However during these "few years" - three years to be exact, already the "conventional" heavy bombers appeared - for example the TU-95s "Bears" - which are still being used in Russian air force and are planned to be in service for as long as 2040 minimum.
Meanwhile, the planned nuclear plane has got its model name "M-50" and the nuclear engine initially was planned to be placed in the front part of the plane, but later as you can see on this picture was moved backwards.
This was one of the final looks of M-50 - it was now called M-52, M-56K or even M-60 - depending on the specimen that was developed - in parallel there were a few of similar planes prepared by separate groups of engineers.
Most of such planes had the nuclear engines that used molten metals to transfer heat from the nuclear reactor to the engine itself. Those were molten lithium or sodium. The engines also had an option to work on regular aircraft fuel - just like your regular hybrid car can go on electricity and on gas.
Also those planes were hosting one small plane - drone as we call it now - inside of themselves. You can see it on the previous picture (one which is above this one). It is marked red there and is located in the mid part of the plane. The idea for this drone was to be able to shoot bombs in more precise manner without the main plane going too much down from the supersonic altitidues it was going to fly at. So it just dropped this little plane which did all the job closer to the ground. Sort of a nuclear Soviet sub-orbital mothership.
Sadly, this exact plane was not finished. The main engineer who supervised those groups was moved to more important task at time - building the ballistic missiles - the ones that can reach far far away countries for sure and without the tricks of dropping drones or using molten lithium. So the project was closed.
However, remember I told you the nuclear planes still were built? Yes, there was another group working on those, and here is their story:
On this picture you can see the real and once being highly classified top secret Soviet nuclear plane. It was not a supersonic jet as the one before, was using the power of propellers to move, however it was still a nuclear powered strategic bomber!
It was developed in TU agency and their task was initially more simpler - to build a normal propellered but nuclearly powered plane.
At first in 1956 they built a "Flying Nuclear Lab" based on the normal TU-95 plane. Later the real nuclear TU went into process of building.
This is a real scheme of the nuclear turbo engine of the TU lab.
And this was another type of the engine they developed. The nuclear elements in this one was placed in round fashion around the engine.
This was an unground testing site for those engines.
And this is how the reactor, the engine and the sensors were hosted inside of the plane's body. The plane got its name TU-95LAL.
Behind the pilots cabin there was a very thick layer of radiation protection installed. However the outer walls were not that thick and radiation could go on the sides.
Here is this plane photographed unclose. Once very top secret now possible to see and explore - this photo shows the walls around the nuclear reactor inside this plane.
And this is how they were removing and installing the reactor from/into the plane.
Believe it or not but they were able to get this plane into the skies and just in one year - 1961 the year of the first Russian cosmonaut - this plane has took 34 flights alone.
The main danger they figured out was that such plane could contaminate huge areas of land with radioactive wastes. Remember that think side walls? So this project was dropped too!
The plane was left abandoned on the nuclear test site for over 15 years and then demolished by special order of top party officials.
However, this is still not the end of the nuclear planes history of Russia.
What if I tell you there was also a third plane?!
Yes, there was - please meet AN-22 01-07:
After the first two projects were abandoned most of the knowledge and developed technologies were then used to build the nuclear submarines. They successfully have been proved a good working idea and tested the approaches to the compact reactors for years. So later 1970s they were able to build the most advanced Soviet nuclear plane to date. How about the poisonous wastes? Nothing like that. "The only waste it produced was the heated air stream", remembers the engineer, "it was more ecologically sound than even the regular gas powered planes - no wastes at all".
This was achieved because after 1950s-60s they dropped the idea of nuclear reactors with "open cycle" and developed the "closed cycle" ones.
This is a drawing of this engine. It was called "combined turbo jet nuclear engine.
The engineers were telling that everything was nice with this engine - no waste, almost unlimited flight range (sic!). Just imagine this plane could fly around without landing as long as it wanted or as long as it was technically sound. The only problem says the engineer was the damage of the reactor or engine - if someone shoots down the plane or it falls down due to some technical mischiefs. In this case the casing of the engine/reactor can be damaged and lots of nuclear toxic stuff can be leaked. So they moved on to protect the engines further but...
But then the cold war ended, the Soviet Union collapsed, and we still don't see the ecological, cheap and unlimited air flights.
ALIEN ENCOUNTER: UFOs have been spotted across Hull
While Hull has never experienced a close encounter of the third kind (or so we think), there have been hundreds of sightings of UFO's around the city. And, it seems, even our city's beloved sporting teams have been affected by an out-of-this-world experience.
In 1980, at the start of Hull KR's glory days, there was a report of a strange red and white object hovering over Craven Park before disappearing. In the five years that followed, the club had an unprecedented run of success. Spooky, eh?
The Craven Park sighting and hundreds of other UFO reports in Hull have been filed and released by the National Archives in recent years. Here, local historian Mike Covell looks at ten of the strangest.
1. The Bransholme encounter
A National Archive record of the Bransholme sighting
In October 1986 twenty people on Bransholme saw a moon shaped object with a curved cone on the top and red lights flying towards the direction of East Park. The group consisted of two adults and 18 children playing football. They contacted Humberside Police who in turn contacted RAF Binbrook, but the sighting was never explained and remains unsolved.
2. Patrington 'zig-zag' UFO
A bunker in RAF Holmpton, one of the big UFO recording stations
RAF Patrington, known today as RAF Holmpton, was one of the primary recording stations for the phenomena in the region. Whole files from the National Archives feature cases investigated by the staff at the base from civilians, police, and flight personnel. One such case was the sighting of a spherical object with flashing lights, moving in a zig-zag pattern up the River Humber towards Hull, on December 12, 1987. It was reported to Humberside Police who reported it to the RAF base but the case remains unsolved.
3. Tower Grange gets involved
Days after the sighting at RAF Patrington, on December 27, 1987, an east Hull couple contacted Tower Grange Police Station, who in turn contacted the MOD, with reports of a large, oblong shaped craft, with 50 to 100 bright yellow lights flashing around its edge. The unnamed couple saw the craft for a short period before it zoomed away.
In February 1988, a taxi driver and his passenger were heading along Robson Way, Sutton, towards Leads Road, when they saw a large orange-red orb hovering silently above the road. It was described as looking like a spherical hot air balloon, without anything slung underneath. The report was sent to Humberside Police, who forwarded it on to the MOD.
5. Craft descends on Craven Park
MYSTERY: The old Craven Park in Holderness Road.
Without a doubt the strangest sighting came in September 1980, when an unnamed individual spotted a red and white round craft hovering above the sports ground. The person said it was there for four and a half minutes, and reported to the Humberside Police, who forwarded the sighting to RAF Binbrook.
6. Hessle's flying triangle
On July 13, 1990, an unnamed woman residing in Hessle spotted a UFO that looked like a giant flying triangle. She watched it for 45 minutes, but stopped and hovered for 30 minutes. It was seen to fly off after emitting a bright flash from its rear end. She ran upstairs and woke up her son and using binoculars, they watched it together. She reported the incident to Hessle Police Station and was described as being "a mature woman of sound mind."
On December 26, 1990, a large cigar shaped object was seen over Park Street, Hull, with blue and green lights at the rear. The unexplained craft flew west, then south, but hovered near Hull Royal Infirmary. The eyewitness was described as "sounding sober". It was reported to Humberside Police, who forwarded it to RAF Waddington, but the case remains unsolved.
8. Bransholme school teacher's encounter
In October 1990, a teacher, at Winifred Holtby School, Bransholme, was standing in the car park at 7pm when he saw an object fly towards the east from the west. It remained in view for several minutes before vanishing over the horizon. The observer was described as having worked at the school for nine months, had previously been at another school for seven years, was married for five years, and most importantly, "appears sensible and in complete control of all mental senses."
9. Humber Bridge UFO
Are aliens attracted to the other-worldly Humber Bridge?
Humber Bridge, unsurprisingly, features regularly in the UFO reports. One of the sightings occurred in April 1991, when two UFOs with blue, red and green lights, flew over the bridge. It was investigated by the Humberside Police and the details of their investigation were passed on to RAF Waddington.
Another sighting at the bridge took place in July 1997, when a silver cigar-shaped object flew over the bridge. It was described in the official files as having sharp, pointed wings, with a red light on one and a green light on the other.
It was said to have hovered by the bridge before shooting off at great speed towards Beverley. Interestingly, the official file goes on to state that nine witnesses saw the UFO, "the names of whom are held by the Hull Daily Mail."
One of the files features an encounter from October 17, 2002, and is described as a "credible witness UFO sighting". It was sent to Humberside Police's Incident Handling Unit, Northern Command Centre at Hessle Police Station on what can only be described as an official UFO reporting form.
The incident was recorded under log number 70, of 17/10/02 at 2.39am, when a member of the public in east Hull claimed to have seen two large flying lights near BP Saltend, seemingly communicating with each other through flashes.
Humberside Police despatched officers, one of whom saw it from Hedon, other officers spotted it from BP, and another said they saw it in Thorngumbald.
All described the lights as looking like stars but stopping and moving at great speeds. Despite this, and an investigation using the Humberside Police helicopter, the file claims the sighting was nothing more than a star or satellite, possibly affected by the nearby gasses emitted from the chemical works.

David Cameron's vow to be 'open and honest' about aliens and UFOs sparks hope truth will out
David Cameron's vow to be 'open and honest' about aliens and UFOs sparks hope truth will out
BYJON DILLON
A video of Cameron discussing extra-terrestrial life has raised hopes an official announcement will be made when Barack Obama leaves the White House
Footage showing David Cameron vowing to be "open and frank" about alien life has raised hopes of an official announcement that extra-terrestrials exist.
UFO hunters are keeping their fingers crossed that US President Barack Obama will go public before he leaves office.
Lobbyist Stephen Bassett, who is calling on the US Government to release its secret UFO files and hold Congressional hearings, believes the Prime Minister would follow suit if the Americans made the first move.
And it seems the Tory leader could be in favour of such a move after previously stating no government should hide the truth.
Richplanet.net
David Cameron vows to be open and honest about alien sightings and UFOs
Richard D Hall, who is a chartered electrical engineer, quizzed Cameron during one of his 'Cameron Direct" meetings in 2009, before he became Prime Minister.
While taking questions from the audience, Richard asked him: “In July last year, the respected scientist and astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, who was the sixth man to walk on the moon spoke on a British radio station.
"He said that the American government have had contact with extra-terrestrials on multiple occasions and that these were on going.
"He spoke about the Roswell event of 1947, where wreckage from a downed UFO was recovered and found to contain alien bodies.

It's hoped that Obama will confirm the existence of extra-terrestrials before he leaves the White House
"He said that this event was real and had been covered up by governments for many years.
"Do you agree with me David, that the British people have the right to know if we have been visited.
"And if so, when you become Prime Minister, as I know you will, will you seek to lift the veil of secrecy and tell the public the truth that they deserve, which has been covered up for all of these years.”
Initially the Tory chief poked fun at the question, saying: "I’m convinced we have been visited by alien life forms, and one of them is the trade secretary Peter Mandelson."
Richplanet.net
Richard's letter to David Cameron asks for an interview
But he changed his tone once he realised Richard, who hosts his own TV show called Rich Planet and runs the Rich Planet website, was serious.
Cameron said: "I have no idea whether there is intelligent life out there and no idea whether any sightings that have taken place or incidents that have taken place have any basis in truth.
"All I know is I do believe in freedom of information and openness, and if this question has been asked from time of governments in this country and indeed in the US, I think we should be as open and as clear as possible.
Richplanet.net
David Cameron's polite reply
"What’s tended to happen when people look at the Roswell incident or people look at pictures and other things that have happened is a rational explanation tends to be produced to try and show that its not what those who believe in UFOs suggest.
"But I think we should be as open as possible so I would be quite happy to give you a guarantee that if I was Prime Minister I would always be entirely open and frank about these things.
"I do not think any of us have any clue whether there is any intelligent life out there, and it is certainly not something that any government should seek to hide from anybody."
Following his response, Richard invited Cameron onto his TV show but he declined. He did, however, acknowledge his pledge in a personal letter.
More recently, democratic contender Hillary Clinton and her campaign boss John Podesta have championed the disclosure cause during her bid to become the next president.
Mr Bassett told Mirror.co.uk: "The UK has steadfastly stuck with the US regarding the truth embargo on the extraterrestrial presence for more than six decades.

Natuurkundige: “De zwaartekracht bestaat niet”
Natuurkundige Erik Verlinde zorgde vijf jaar geleden voor ophef met zijn theorie dat de zwaartekracht niet bestaat. Hij zei dat de zwaartekracht de uiting is van een dieper proces.
Verlinde legt momenteel de laatste hand aan een publicatie waarin hij laat zien dat zijn theorie één van de grote vraagstukken uit de kosmologie oplost: donkere materie. Astronomen nemen aan dat deze donkere materie bestaat, omdat ze anders de bewegingen van sterrenstelsels niet kunnen verklaren.
Gedacht wordt dat de totale hoeveelheid massa en energie van het heelal voor slechts vijf procent uit normale materie bestaat. De rest is allemaal onzichtbaar, maar ook onvindbaar. Wetenschappers zoeken al tientallen jaren tevergeefs naar de bouwstenen van donkere materie.
Hologram
Erik Verlinde (Wikicommons)
De leermeester van Verlinde was hoogleraar en Nobelprijswinnaar Gerard ’t Hooft. Die kwam met het idee dat de waarnemingshorizon van een zwart gat een soort hologram is. In dat hologram is alle informatie opgeslagen over zaken die in het gat zijn verdwenen. De materie is weg. Wat rest is informatie op de horizon.
Als materie in een zwart gat verdwijnt, leidt dat tot een herschikking van de materie op de horizon, zo bedacht Verlinde. Je rolt een internetkabel netjes op, maar na verloop van tijd komen er altijd weer knopen in. Hij heeft geconcludeerd dat de zwaartekracht geen fundamentele kracht is, maar een bijproduct van de natuur die streeft naar wanorde.
Raadsel oplossen
“Het heelal dijt uit en hoe verder een sterrenstelsel van ons vandaan staat, hoe sneller het zich verwijdert,” stelt de natuurkundige. “Dan is er een punt waarop de verwijdering sneller gaat dan het licht. Dat is onze horizon. Die horizon heeft fysisch dezelfde eigenschappen als de horizon van een zwart gat.”
Net als bij het zwarte gat zit de meeste informatie over het heelal op die horizon, aldus Verlinde. Nu hij die informatie in zijn afleiding van de wetten van Newton en Einstein heeft gestopt, kan hij het raadsel van donkere materie en donkere energie oplossen.
Farao Toetanchamon is begraven met een dolk die is gemaakt van buitenaards materiaal, zo blijkt uit onderzoek van Italiaanse wetenschappers en het Egyptisch museum in Caïro.
Howard Carter, de ontdekker van het graf van Toetanchamon, trof de dolk in 1925 aan op de dij van de farao. Het ijzeren lemmet heeft onderzoekers sinds de ontdekking door Carter verbaasd. IJzerwerk was zeldzaam in het oude Egypte en de dolk was niet verroest.
Met behulp van röntgenapparatuur hebben de wetenschappers het lemmet geanalyseerd. Het ijzer blijkt 11 procent nikkel te bevatten, veel meer dan in normale ijzeren objecten zit.
Gift van de goden
Zo’n hoge concentratie nikkel is wel te vinden in meteorieten. De dolk bleek bovendien kobalt te bevatten, een metaal dat ook voorkomt in meteorieten. Uit oude teksten blijkt dat de Egyptenaren wisten dat hun zeldzame ijzer uit de lucht kwam vallen.
Volgens de wetenschappers hechtten de oude Egyptenaren grote waarde aan meteorieten, die zij als een gift van de goden zagen. De gebruikelijke term in die tijd voor ijzer was ‘ijzer uit de lucht’.
Niet het enige buitenaardse voorwerp
“De introductie van de term suggereert dat de oude Egyptenaren in de 13e eeuw voor Christus wisten dat er zeldzame stukken ijzer uit de lucht vielen,” schrijven de onderzoekers, die hun bevindingen publiceerden in het tijdschrift Meteoritics & Planetary Science. “Zo’n 2000 jaar eerder dan de westerse cultuur.”
De dolk is niet het enige buitenaardse voorwerp dat in de tombe van Toetanchamon is gevonden. Een sieraad in het graf bevat een scarabee van silica-glas. Dat is hoogstwaarschijnlijk gevormd als gevolg van de inslag van een meteoriet of komeet.
One of the very best photographs ever taken of a triangular UFO was snapped by an anonymous cameraman in Belgium in April of 1990. Recognized by anyone familiar with UFOs, it became the cornerstone of the Belgian UFO wave of 1989. On November 29, 1989, a triangular UFO with lights sparking underneath was seen by multiple witnesses-three groups of policemen included. This began a case which still baffles investigators today.
First Sightings:
The first night of sightings was only the beginning of one of the best documented and witnessed UFO waves ever. On more than one occasion, two F-16 fighter jets chased the unknown flying crafts, but without results. One of the most notable sightings of the wave came on March 30, 1990 from a Belgian National Police captain, who watched a giant, triangle UFO passing overhead. Two separate radar stations corroborated the sighting.
Radar Stations Report:
The triangle was moving very low, and very slowly over the landscapes of Belgium near the city of Glons, which is southeast of Brussels.
A NATO manned radar station was reporting the object, and they soon found that four more stations also were getting a return from the object. The flying object would not answer hails to identify itself, and sent no transponder signal. Jets would be sent to find the object.
F-16s Sent to Intercept:
Two American-made F-16s were scrambled by the military to intercept and identify the object. One of the jet radars did lock on the object, which appeared as a diamond shape on the screen. Seconds after the lock on, the UFO quickly moved out of the plane's radar range. The F-16 went after the UFO, but after a chase that lasted an hour, the UFO escaped unidentified, except for two more radar returns.
Beyond Our Technology:
The F-16 pilot knew that he was chasing something that had speed and maneuverability far beyond the capabilities of his jet. At one point, radar returns showed that the UFO had dropped from 10,000 to 500 feet altitude in 5 seconds, an unbelievable move. The sightings of the giant triangles continued for months, being witnessed over and over again. They often flew low enough to easily be seen with the naked eye.
Getting a Photograph:
The sighting wave became a big story in the Belgian media, and it became apparent that getting a photograph of the UFOs was almost impossible... many witnesses snapped photos of the triangles, only to see blurred imagery. This unusual occurrence was investigated by physics professor Auguste Meesen, who discovered that infrared light was not allowing the objects to be photographed.
Finally Captured on Video Tape:
Finally, one good video film was taken of the object. The image showed the bottom of the triangular shape, with three red spotlights on the corners. The photograph associated with the Belgian wave is actually a frame capture taken from the video. The film was taken over the town of Petit Rechain.
Classic Status:
The Belgium wave has obtained classic status in UFO lore. With over 1,000 witnesses, confirmed radar sightings, plane radar lock-ins, and military confirmations, the fact that an unknown craft moved across the country of Belgium cannot be denied. The case is also important for its unique information sharing. Civilian and military officials were forthcoming with the reports, and set a model for others to follow in their pursuit to uncover the mystery behind the UFO enigma.

Red Shot Above Earth at Space Station In June 1, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: June 1, 2016 Location of sighting: Earths orbit, ISS This red shot as Streetcap1 calls it was seen at the space station. It does seem to appear to be coming from the Earth, however I think its much closer, just a few meters from the space station. This object would be about the size of a motorcycle. It is probably a living entity...an organism that lives in the depths of space and has created this glowing color, much like deep ocean creatures making a glow to help find one another. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Streetcap1 states: This is shown at real-time speed. When I turned the object in Irfanview, it resembled the shape of a craft or entity.
For many years now, UFOs have more than not been identified as "flying saucers," or disc-shaped objects. Of course, there were other unknown flying object reports of odd-shaped vehicles of many different descriptions, but these were the exception and not the rule.
In the last 30 years or so, the triangle shape has become a topic of much discussion. Often reported as flying low and running silent, with several lights on the bottom, these strange objects have become an enigma in UFO circles. Sightings of these objects often come in waves, and they are reported as being able to go from a crawl to a high speed departure in a matter of seconds.
A Government Project?
Many feel that the triangle UFO may be a top-secret government craft, still in the experimental stage, and more than likely designed with military implications. Some researchers feel that they are the next step in the Stealth series of craft, capable of flying low and making their exit without being detected by enemy radar.
This type of craft would be indispensable for enemy surveillance, especially with weapon capabilites.
I will agree that a good portion of triangle UFO sightings may be attributed to a government manufactured craft, but this cannot account for all of them. The man on the street cannot know just how advanced governmental or military technological prowess may be, but reports of the flight characteristics of the triangles seem to surpass even our most liberal estimates of what modern technology is capable of.
Reports Increasing
Although the triangle craft seem to be a dark, mysterious entity, according to researcher and author, Clyde Lewis, triangle sightings in the United Kingdom are almost an everyday occurrence. He states in his article, "Mystery of the Black Triangles," there have been approximately 4,000 reports of the triangles since 1990 in the UK alone.
There have also been waves of triangle sightings in Belgium, France, Holland and Germany, beginning with the most celebrated wave of all, the 1989-1990 triangle wave over Belgium.
In this particular case, in addition to triangle sightings, other anomalous events took place. As some of the triangles were picked up by military radar, jets would be scrambled to get a close look at exactly what was invading Belgian airspace. However, although the jet fighters could briefly lock in on the mysterious UFOs, when their weapons were set to fire, their electrical systems would malfunction, and soon the triangles were out of range.
Anomalous Effects
A second unusual fact during the Belgian wave was the inability of eyewitnesses to capture the objects on film. There are a couple of fairly decent, distant videos of them, and finally one good photograph was taken in April, 1990 in the city of Petit Rechain.
This photograph, clearly shows a triangle-shaped object with red lights on the belly.
There were approximately 1,000 sightings of the Belgian triangle, and many of these were reported by ground observers who could clearly see the craft, and took what they felt would be a good, clear picture. However, when their film was developed, the image was blurry, and had no probative value. This fact came to the attention of August Meessen, physics professor, who was employed by the Catholic University at Louvin.
He developed a theory that the photographic failures were caused by infrared light. He proved his theory through scientific experiments. What this actually means is open to debate, but it appears from witness statements, that the farther away the triangle was from the photographer, the better chance to get a good image.
The sightings over Belgium were investigated, and there was no doubt that unknown, triangular-shaped objects moved over the country for about two years. They were caught on radar, seen by pilots, and witnessed by a general cross section of the public, including policemen.
No explanation could be given, except to say that something very unusual occurred in the Belgian skies. This is one of the best examples of the triangle UFOs, but in future articles, I will detail other special cases of these strange, low-flying craft.

1910-1930 Battleship or submarine found that is 100 meters long on island, June 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: June 1, 2016 Location of discovery: Farquhar island Google Earth Coordinates: 10° 9'12.13"S 51° 3'5.36"E
Yeah, I know, its not a UFO, but it is really cool. I was teaching for more wreckage form the flight MH370 and stumbled upon this old ship or sub. Google ruler says its 95+ meters across, but since one side looks split open, its closer to 100 meters. There is a visible metal railing all around the edge of the craft so that tells me the ship has a metal outside hull. The floor of the craft is hard to make out, so I can't really tell if its metal or wood, which would help narrow down the date of the sinking and the type of craft. I did notice that the ship has a heart shape large fin, like a submarine would have in the back, but it may be just part of the reef its sitting on. If you know what kind of craft this is, what the name of this ship or sub is, or when it sank, please let me know in the comments below. Its driving me nuts not knowing. thanks, Scott C.

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.
Japan Airlines Flight 1628 Encounters a Massive UFO Midflight Over Alaska
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.
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.
“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.’ ”
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:
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
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
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...
Prise de mesures pour l'étude archéo-magnétique de la grotte de Bruniquel.

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 Bruniquel. Là-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 exclurecomplètement 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...
Pour finir, je rappelle également la découverte de structures étranges en forme de cercles et de quadrilatères (un peu comme ces structures faites en stalagmites donc) en Afrique du Sud, donc l'âge estimé par certains chercheurs va jusqu'à 200 000 ans, donc assez proches de ces structures découvertes en France... un possible lien pourra-t-il être établi un jour ? Voici le lien vers un article qui est consacré à ces découvertes étranges en Afrique du sud (vers le bas de l'article) :
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
Where Are All The Stars? They’re Being Destroyed By Black Holes
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’
Planet nine: op zoek naar de ‘best mogelijke verklaring’
DOOR BENEDICTE LEMMELIJN.
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…
