Proof of Alien Life: Aliens Hidden on Distant Diamond and Graphite Planets?
Proof of Alien Life: Aliens Hidden on Distant Diamond and Graphite Planets?
Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
Life in the early universe might have formed on carbon planets made of carbides, graphite, and diamond, according to a study accepted for publication and is available online in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The study’s researchers from Harvard University claim this indicates that even planets that contain minute amounts of carbon can still support life.
“This work shows that even stars with a tiny fraction of the carbon in our solar system can host planets,” adds the study’s lead author Natalie Mashian, a graduate student from Harvard University. “We have good reason to believe that alien life will be carbon-based, like life on Earth, so this also bodes well for the possibility of life in the early universe.”
The research team suggests that ancient CEMP stars or carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars, formed before heavy metals crucial for life on Earth, were spread throughout the universe that influenced planet formation by clumping carbon dust grains together to form carbon planets. Although theseplanets would be considered as tar-black worlds with the same size and mass as other Earth-like worlds, these are still capable of sustaining life.

“These stars are fossils from the young universe,” says Mashian’s Ph.D. thesis advisor Avi Loeb from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. “By studying them, we can look at how planets, and possibly life in the universe, got started.”
If this theory turns out to be true, astronomers still need to assess the tar-black planets’ atmosphere to determine other details they do not know about. However, they think that the planets’ atmosphere contain huge amounts of methane and carbon dioxide.
Finding these planets could be possible using the transit technique. This technique is the same method used by scientists to detect other exoplanets, which Loeb asserts is a practical method for analyzing how early planets could have formed during the universe’s infancy.
UFO sighting in the United States is a common phenomenon. This time, there is yet another incident of an unidentified flying object in the skies of Florida, which holds uncanny similarities to the notorious UFO sighting in 1980.
A man identified as Steve, who works as a director of aircraft maintenance for a corporate jet fleet in the USA, managed to take an “amazing footage of the UFO, which he recorded from his plane, as it flew 43,000 feet above Texas in the USA, notes Mirror. There was also anotherreport that hints at proof of aliens spotted on the moon.
The clip taken by the man caused a stir among experts of SecureTeam10 to whom he sent the footage to, so that they could analyze its details and share the findings. While it is still not known whether the recent mysterious sighting in the sky is indeed an alien object, it surely relives the memories of the 1980 Cash-Landrum incident.
Vicky Landrum and Betty Cash were returning home in December 1980 from a dinner party with Vicky’s seven-year-old grandson Colby when they saw a huge diamond-shaped object in the sky.
According to their reports to the media, the object was emitting flames from underneath. What was shocking was that when Betty got out of the car to have a better look at the object, she suffered terrible burns. Finally, the object started to move away when approached by 23 military-style helicopters,.
According to Tyler from SecureTeam, “This [the Cash-landrum] UFO sighting, and I will quote a well-known UFO researcher, is perhaps one of the most baffling and frustrating cases of modern times, in that it is shrouded in a maze of dead ends, denials and even official deviousness by the government and military.”
The video has, however, evoked speculations among UFO aficionados, with some alleging that the lights and the V-shaped frame prove that the US military is experimenting with reverse-engineering alien technology. Another group of enthusiasts opined that lights emitted from the unidentified object clearly indicates that aliens visit earth multiple times, reported Enstarz. In recent times, there were reports of UFO spotted near a US military base in Ohio. Read more here!
A UFO spotted near the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, about ten miles from Dayton, Ohio, is building a lot of traction over the internet. The mysterious object was filmed by a Dayton couple while they were looking at the sunset from their home, according to Daily Mail.
The video footage shows the object having a pointed end downwards; hanging in the sky and moving slowly. It shows some strange markings on its surface.
“What the f*** is that? ” says the woman. “It looks like it’s moving with the clouds.”
After some time, the object disappears into the clouds. “Oh my god, it f****** disappeared,” says another onlooker.
The couple recorded the video last week on Wednesday, May 25. They sent it to different alien investigation websites, including Tyler Glockner of Secure Team 10.
Describing the object, Glockner called it mind-blowing. He said that the object had no sound and was solid. It seems to be the same object spotted two times a month ago near Dayton, Ohio. It is the third sighting by a different source.
While showing other older sightings, he said: ’It’s the same UFO. I am simply amazed, we have someone corroborating this sighting.”
However, he said that the object could be an engineered aircraft on trial by some black project over the military base.
‘There is no doubt in my mind this is either an alien craft or a very very strange drone – which I highly doubt.” he said at the end of the video.
The strange UFO sightings are not new at Airforce Base. Since 1947, the base has been witnessing several bizarre objects near the area. Between 1947 and 1969, the airbase recorded 12,618 sightings. Out of those, 701 were tagged as unidentified. All were recorded in Project Blue Book, a record book for UFO sightings and investigation, according to USA Today.
The base came into the highlight after John Greenewald, an amateur historian, shared 100,000 pages of documents at his website The Black Vault.

The First 3D Photos Reveal What Is Located In One Of The Oldest Pyramids
The First 3D Photos Reveal What Is Located In One Of The Oldest Pyramids
Using cosmic rays, thermal cameras and lasers, a team of experts made 3D maps which show the internal structure of one of the oldest Egyptian pyramids.
An international team of archaeologists discovered the first performance of the Bent Pyramid in Dashur, from which have developed 3D photos. So they approached the public to look at the inner chambers of the buildings old 4,600 years.
Bent Pyramid is one of the earliest built in the time of the Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu, father of Khufu. This pyramid has two entrances that open to two lanes, leading to two burial chambers, placed one above the other.
Tajoubi Mehdi, head of Egypt’s “Heritage Innovation Preservation Institute”, said plates placed 40 days inside the pyramid collected data on the particles that make up the bulk of the cosmic radiation that reaches Earth’s surface. The particles fall through empty space, but also absorb and other surfaces. A study of the deposition of particles on the surface, scientists have concluded much about the construction of the pyramids.
“We analyzed more than 10 million tracks of particles. Based on the number and angle which they are deployed, we could reconstruct a picture. It is the first time in history in this way to be discovered the inside of the pyramid,” explained Tajoubi, adding that the idea the project is to find an answer to the mystery of the pyramids, or how they were built. It is thought that Sneferu was buried inside the hidden chamber in the pyramid, but it has denied so far.
3D scanning technology and lasers will be used to study the hidden chamber in the tomb of Tutankhamun, which is believed to have belonged to Queen Nefertiti, says Daily mail.
They Found A New Earth: NASA Says There Is A Sensational Discovery!
They Found A New Earth: NASA Says There Is A Sensational Discovery!
Telescope “Kepler” discovered something very important, so the experts of the space agency announced that their findings will be publish on May 10.
Having launched in 2009, the telescope “Kepler” discovered more than 1,000 exoplanets, and several thousand await confirmation.
But this latest find is so large that it was announced that there will be press conference. Everything is still kept in secret and there are not any details, but we know that NASA organize such conferences for only major findings, as when it was discovered water on Mars.
Some speculate that the discovery is linked with the planet “Kepler 452B” which is considered to be the twin of our Earth, and that they found atmosphere on her or some form of life. Others say that “new Earth” has been found which could have life conditions.
The scientific possibility of parallel universes first arrived with Hugh Everett III’s Relative State Formulation in 1957. Not long after, Bryce Seligman DeWitt renamed Everett’s theory and introduced it to the masses, bringing us the popular term Many-worlds Interpretation.
But there are others, each attempting to solve the quantum measurement problem and, in this case, Everett’s formulation. These include the Many-minds interpretation and, my personal favorite, Many-histories.
Interpretations of interpretations, yeah. It’s very messy.
But for now, any thoughts of dimension-hopping adventures and interacting with parallel universes are relegated to science fiction. It’s just not possible.
Or is it?
Let’s take a quick look at some of the weirder “clues” that maybe, just maybe, we’re living in one ofmany worlds.
1. Ghosts & Paranormal Activity
So here’s a snapshot of an alleged ghost that popped up at the 16th Century palace of King Henry VIII. It appeared on CCTV footage after security guards were notified of someone repeatedly opening the fire exit. (And I’m not saying this is an actual ghost…just using it as an example).
Beyond ghostly photographs, though, many of these sightings could have an even more exotic explanation: parallel worlds bleeding into one another. A ghost, a specter, the haunting visage of the deceased — perhaps this person is alive and well in another world, and you’ve simply caught a glimpse into their universe.
Or perhaps this particular “parallel universe” is the realm of the dead, itself!
2. Déjà vu & Alter vus
A Déjà vu is one of several strange phenomena of the mind (including Déjà vecu and Déjà Visité, among others). Déjà vu, in particular, is the uncanny sensation that you’ve experienced something before, that an event is repeating itself. With Déjà vecu, you may even feel that you know what’s going to happen next.
An Alter vu, as well, is a term that popped up during the John Titor saga to describe when someone remembers their worldline differently. Conflicting memories, something changed about the world they live in. Think about Marty McFly at the end of Back to the Future; he’d remember the name of the mall as Twin Pines Mall, but due to his time travel, it’s changed to Lone Pine Mall.
He remembers both realities.
Both experiences have neurological and memory-based explanations, but is it possible that Déjà vus are “memories” from other versions of ourselves in other universes, or that Alter vus are truly memories from alteredworldlines?
3. Dreams & Parallel Universes
If sleep is a little slice of death, then what are dreams?
Some dreams we remember, most we don’t. While the mechanism for dreaming is fairly understood (they tend to occur during REM sleep), we still don’t know their true purpose, if there is one. A glimpse into the unconsious mind, a way for our brains to sort out information?
Or could they be windows into another world?
4. Parallel Universe Stories
Believe it or not, there have been a few cases of individuals who claim to belong to another world, or whose origins otherwise could not be traced. True, false, I don’t know.
Consider these two stories:
1.Lerina García, who woke up one day in a world — our world — that did not belong to her.
According to the story, as her day progressed she continued to notice “small incongruities,” little things that were just off. But there were big things, too:
“So I went to work in my car, which was parked where I’d always parked, and it was the same office I’d worked in for the last 20 years. But when I got to my department, it wasn’t my department. It has names on the door and mine wasn’t on it. I thought I was on the wrong floor, but no, it was my own floor. I went over to the office’s wireless section and looked myself up. I still worked there, but in another department, reporting to a superior I didn’t even know.”
2. A strange man who arrived in Tokyo in 1954 with a passport from a country that didn’t exist, called Taured. Japanese customs officials detained the man, but his passport was not a fake: it had the proper stamps, was issued by the country of Taured, and even included Japanese stamps from a previous visit. The man swore that Taured was a European country that had existed for 1,000 years, and he also held other papers, such as bank statements, with the country’s name on them.
After several hours, customs officials eventually placed the man in a hotel, with security nearby to ensure that he did not leave his room, while they checked things out.
The next morning, he was gone. No trace. A manhunt ensued, but there was no point; he had simply vanished.
Obviously, the veracity of these two stories can’t be confirmed, at least to my knowledge. But you work with what you have, you know?
So, do parallel universes exist?
The above “clues” are just some possibilities that I find intriguing, not that I believe any of them. But the universe is a strange place. What do you believe?
Black holes are a fixture in science fiction, but human beings have never laid eyes on one. Researchers from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have now developed an algorithm to help people see these stellar wonders.
The algorithm is called Continuous High-resolution Image Reconstruction, or CHIRP. CHIRP will act as one large telescope, piecing together information collected from radio telescopes on the Earth’s surface. An image of a black hole will be created by filtering data and removing all atmospheric sound and interference.
This collective telescope, called the Event Horizon Telescope array, has six observatories currently participating. They will be attempting to "photograph" Sagittarius A*, a black hole at the center of our galaxy.
Katie Bouman, an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science said, "We would never be able to see into the center of our galaxy in visible wavelengths because there's too much stuff in between." Bouman, who led the development of CHIRP, explained that, "A black hole is very, very far away and very compact. It's equivalent to taking an image of a grapefruit on the moon, but with a radio telescope. To image something this small means that we would need a telescope with a 10,000-kilometer diameter, which is not practical, because the diameter of the Earth is not even 13,000 kilometers."
The researchers stated, "You could think of the model as a rubber sheet covered with regularly spaced cones whose heights vary but whose bases all have the same diameter," and that "Fitting the model to the interferometric data is a matter of adjusting the heights of the cones, which could be zero for long stretches, corresponding to a flat sheet. Translating the model into a visual image is like draping plastic wrap over it: The plastic will be pulled tight between nearby peaks, but it will slope down the sides of the cones adjacent to flat regions."
We’ll take their word for it, but we can’t wait to see that mysterious celestial object and compare it to its cinematic representations.
“Ze hielden me in de gaten”: Bokslegende Muhammad Ali zag meerdere UFO’s, waaronder moederschip
“Ze hielden me in de gaten”: Bokslegende Muhammad Ali zag meerdere UFO’s, waaronder moederschip
Bokslegende Muhammad Ali, die afgelopen vrijdag op 74-jarige leeftijd overleed, was er heilig van overtuigd dat UFO’s bestaan. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Express.
UFO-expert en schrijver Timothy Green Beckley had vanwege zijn fascinatie voor aliens meerdere ontmoetingen met het boksicoon. “Ali claimde zelfs een enorm UFO-moederschip te hebben gezien, dat hij in de gaten werd gehouden door aliens en dat buitenaardse bezoekers ‘van ongelooflijk groot belang zijn voor de wereld’,” zei hij.
In een ontroerend eerbetoon aan de bokser en mensenrechtenactivist haalt Green Beckley passages uit een boek aan dat hij schreef over beroemdheden die geïnteresseerd zijn in buitenaards leven.
Sigaarvormig schip
“Van alle beroemde mensen met wie ik heb gesproken over UFO’s en theorieën over buitenaardse beschavingen en leven in de ruimte, wist de gepensioneerde wereldkampioen in het zwaargewicht Muhammad Ali het meeste over het onderwerp,” schreef hij. Green Beckley had vier ontmoetingen met Ali waarin werd gesproken over aliens.
Ali haalde het nieuws toen hij claimde samen met zijn trainer niet één, maar twee UFO’s boven New York City te hebben gezien. Hij zei dat meerdere mensen melding hadden gemaakt van de UFO’s, waaronder een piloot die op weg was naar Newark Airport. “Dit is geen grap. Al mijn vrienden hier hebben het gezien,” vertelde hij aan Green Beckley.
Ali claimde daarop dat UFO’s hem ‘al enige tijd in de gaten hielden’. Hij zei eens een sigaarvormig schip te hebben gezien boven een auto waar hij in zat. “Wat een prachtig gezicht was dat. We konden de schaduw die de UFO op de zijkant van de weg wierp duidelijk zien.”
UFO-verkenningsschip (Timothy Green Beckley)
Zoveel andere mensen
De bokslegende maakte ook een tekening van wat volgens hem een UFO-verkenningsschip was. De drie bollen stellen het landingsgestel voor. “Deze verkenners zijn hier om hun voorraad zuurstof aan te vullen,” zei Ali. “Wijlen profeet Elijah Muhammad – mijn religieuze leider – zei dat Ezechiël’s wiel uit de Bijbel de eerste verwijzing ooit is naar UFO’s.”
Green Beckley ziet Ali als een geloofwaardige getuige. “Hij sprak eigenlijk alleen over zijn ervaringen als er iemand bij was die het verhaal kon bevestigen.”
“Ik zeg wat ik denk omdat ik heb ontdekt dat er zoveel andere mensen zijn die iets soortgelijks hebben gezien,” citeerde Green Beckley Ali. “De laatste jaren heb ik veel lezingen gegeven op universiteiten en ik merk dat studenten erg openstaan voor dit soort dingen. Ik hoop dat anderen in de toekomst gaan luisteren omdat ik ervan overtuigd ben dat UFO’s van ongelooflijk groot belang zijn voor de wereld.”
Ophefmakende publicatie: Ons DNA heeft mogelijk buitenaardse oorsprong
Ophefmakende publicatie: Ons DNA heeft mogelijk buitenaardse oorsprong
In een ophefmakende publicatie toonden Franse wetenschappers onlangs aan dat ribose, een suikerbouwsteen van genetisch materiaal in levende organismen, zich mogelijk in kometenijs heeft gevormd.
Het genetische materiaal van alle levende organismen op aarde is opgebouwd uit DNA en het meer primitieve RNA. Dat laatste wordt verondersteld één van de eerste moleculen te zijn die leven op aarde kenmerkt.
Ribose, een sleutelcomponent van RNA, was nog nooit in buitenaards materiaal gedetecteerd of in een laboratorium onder ‘astrofysische omstandigheden’ geproduceerd. Tot nu toe. Door het simuleren van kometenijs hebben de Franse onderzoekers aangetoond dat ribose succesvol kan worden verkregen.
Geen aardse oorsprong
“Dit overtreft onze stoutste verwachtingen,” zei Uwe Meierhenrich van de Universiteit van Nice.
Uit nieuw onderzoek van de Universiteit Parijs-Saclay blijkt nu dat ons DNA door een komeet naar de aarde zijn gebracht. Onderzoekers hebben namelijk bewezen dat ribose, een enkelvoudige suiker waar het grootste deel van ons DNA uit bestaat, zich kan vormen op een komeet.
Wetenschappers van het Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale en het Institut de Chimie de Nice hebben ontdekt dat de nucleïnezuren waar het DNA uit bestaat mogelijk geen aardse oorsprong hebben.
Onmogelijk geacht
De jonge zon werd in eerste instantie omringd door een wolk van gas en stof. Kleine, bevroren hemellichamen klonterden samen en vormden planeten, waarbij veel chemische verbindingen ontstonden.
De onderzoekers simuleerden deze omstandigheden. Op het moment dat een komeet dichter bij de zon kwam en opwarmde, werden ribose en andere suikers gedetecteerd. Voorheen werd gedacht dat ribose de voorloper van DNA was, maar het nieuwe onderzoek laat zien dat er tenminste drie andere kandidaten zijn die daarvoor in aanmerking komen en die mogelijk nog ouder zijn.
Tijdens het experiment is bovendien suiker geproduceerd uit formaldehyde, iets wat door scheikundigen altijd onmogelijk werd geacht. Hoewel bekend was dat formaldehyde kan bestaan op kometen, dacht men niet dat het de drijfveer kon zijn achter de vorming van ribose.
This is some terrible news, but I thought you would want to hear about it. This astronaut was charged with murder of two children today and must come as a big blow to NASA. Very sad situation all around. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
CNN States: (CNN) A retired NASA astronaut has been charged with murder following an auto collision in Alabama that resulted in the death of two girls. James Donald Halsell Jr., 59, was arrested and charged Monday with two counts of murder in a possible DUI accident that killed Naiomi Deona James, 11, and Jayla Latrice Parler, 13, in the wreck near Tuscaloosa. The girls were half-sisters, according to the AL.com news website. Halsell's vehicle hit a Ford Fiesta from behind at an extremely high rate of speed, crushing and pushing the Fiesta sideways across the highway and into a median early Monday, according to court documents. The Fiesta flipped at least twice and landed in the lane of opposing traffic, the documents said. James was pronounced dead at the scene, and Parler was taken to DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa, where she was pronounced dead. Halsell served on five space shuttle missions for NASA before retiring in 2006. Halsell served on five space shuttle missions for NASA before retiring in 2006. The girls were not wearing seat belts and were ejected, Alabama Senior Trooper Reginal King said. Pernell Deon James, 37, and another passenger, Shontel Latriva Cutts, 25, were taken to the hospital and treated for injuries that weren't life-threatening, King said. James is the girls' father, AL.com reported. Halsell had been traveling to West Monroe, Louisiana, and stopped before the crash to get a room at a Motel 6 in Tuscaloosa, according to the court documents. While at the motel, he allegedly told police, he drank three glasses of wine. Halsell, whom police detained at the crash scene, said he didn't remember leaving the motel or how the crash happened, according to the court documents.
He allegedly tried to take the vehicle of a motorist who had stopped to assist the victims, police say in the documents. Police did not find any evidence of drugs or alcohol at the crash scene, but while searching Halsell's hotel room they found an empty bottle of wine and 10 empty sleeping pill packages, the court documents said. Halsell was booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail and was released later after posting a $150,000 bond, Sgt. Alex Miles of the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office said. Halsell logged more than 1,250 hours in space throughout five space shuttle missions for NASA, according to biographical data from the space agency. He commanded three of those missions before retiring in 2006. He led the space shuttle's return-to-flight planning team after the Columbia disaster in 2003. CNN's attempts to reach Halsell and his family have been unsuccessful.
NASA declined to comment about the arrest. Under the Alabama criminal code, a person can be charged with murder if he or she, "under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life ... recklessly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to a person other than himself or herself, and thereby causes the death of another person."
An Ohio witness in Shelby County reported watching a low flying, black, triangle-shaped UFO that silently moved overhead, according to testimony in Case 76700 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside assembling a kid’s swimming pool at 8:40 p.m. on May 27, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“I saw a black object coming towards my backyard that was flying close,” the witness stated. “I thought it was a motorized glider.”
As the object moved over the witnesses’ yard, he realized it was not a motorized glider.
“My son asked,‘Dad, what is that?’ I said,‘I have no idea of what it is.’ I said it’s an alien. The object made no noise. It was black.”
The witness first thought the low-flying object was a motorized glider. (Credit: Google)
The witness asked his kids to go inside and get his wife.
“I really have no idea of what it is. I told my parents the next day I saw a weird object in the sky. The object was just floating in the sky and going northwest.”
The witness report indicates the object was moving less than 500 feet overhead. Ohio Field Investigator Joseph Pavlansky is investigating.

Arizona witness videotapes red lights UFO over Mesa
Arizona witness videotapes red lights UFO over Mesa
An Arizona witness at Mesa reported watching and videotaping two red lights in a vertical position moving northwest to east, according to testimony in Case 46492 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The Mesa, AZ, witness watched the two lights positioned vertically from each other for more than 15 minutes. Pictured: Cropped and enlarged photo from the witness video.
(Credit: MUFON)
The witness videotaped more than 15 minutes beginning at 9:50 p.m. on March 16, 2013, from a second floor apartment complex along Lindsey at U.S. Route 60.
“I was going to close the blinds in my daughter’s room when the incident occurred,” the witness stated.“The reason I find this interesting is that there are two red, vertical lights that slowly moved from the northwest to the east. Possibly coming from the Anthem, Cave Creek area headed toward Superstition Mountains.”
The witness was comparing light colors to known objects.
“An aircraft is supposed to have green lights on this side. Red was the only light visible throughout the whole recording and it was steady and never rotated or moved out of position. At about 11 minutes into filming the top light begin to fade and then went out. At 15 minutes, 20 seconds, the second light began to fade and then went out. Near the end of the filming I do show an aircraft landing at Falcon Field.”
The witness has an aviation background and could not identify the object. Pictured: Cropped and enlarged photo from the witness video.

The witness has an aviation background.
“I have 21 years in naval aviation as an Aviation Ordnanceman working on fixed and rotary wing aircraft and their weapons; and six years in the aerospace industry. Three of those were manufacturing military helicopters and three were in Iraq and Afghanistan as a contractor with numerous Army Medivac Units. I have been in combat situations both in the Navy and as a contractor. With all this said, I know for a fact these are not military flares or other ordnance. As far as an air ship, balloon or other type of aircraft, I am 99 percent sure it is not. I do not know of any aircraft like this or that has formation lights like this and/or then extinguishes itself. There were no clouds or haze this night. It was a comfortable cool air. As far as a shape, I could not tell. I did try to look for something that would identify its shape and transparency but did not find any evidence of it. It was too far away to determine if it had a sound. I can only guesstimate the object(s) were 8-10 miles from me.”
Field Investigator Sandra Anthony investigated for Arizona MUFON and closed this case as an Unknown.
“Another sighting of most likely the same object from that evening was filed as Case #46242, which occurred at 9 p.m., Anthony wrote in her report.“The field investigator, Snow, concluded that it was an Unknown. This investigator also determined that there were three additional reports of this object that were not reported to MUFON.”
The Field Investigator stated that the wind direction at the time of the sighting indicates this is not a sky lantern. Pictured: Still frame from the witness video.

Anthony also noted weather information during the time of the sighting: 75 degrees, 3.5 mph winds out of the east-southeast, clear sky.
“Wind direction would not indicate sky lanterns, etc.,” Anthony stated.
News states: Today at noon an object in the skies of Denizli was seen, it brought to mind the possibility of UFOs. It was an issue that the UFO again appeared in Denizli. Earlier it was seen in Pamukkale and thought to be a reflected image onto the TV camera, but this time it was recorded by a private citizen named Ahmed. The pictures were taken in front of the Pamukkale travertine as Özel by 17:40. An unidentified flying object was seen over travertine. After a while the object was seen moving across the sky to settle over the ancient theater before it slowly disappeared. Ahmed stated, "Well, I do not want you to panic, but I took this photo with my own camera and Ido not understand."

SpaceX is outlining how it plans to deliver on CEO Elon Musk's declarations regarding sending a spacecraft to Mars in 2018, which would be a precedent to its succeeding plans of safely transporting people to the planet in 2025.
Reusable rockets are one of the world’s biggest breakthroughs the past years. Instead of being destroyed, discarded, and forgotten after their maiden voyage, rockets can be launched, refueled and reused for another trip.
SpaceX is one of the leading companies building these rockets. That is because CEO Elon Musk plans on not only flying people to Mars and back, but also colonizing the red planet. In this year’s Code Conference, Musk declared that SpaceX will be sending a test ship to Mars in 2018, followed by a spacecraft to transport people on the Red Planet on 2025.
Getting the spacecraft to Mars is far easier than landing it. This stems from the fact that Mars has an atmosphere that is 1000 times thinner than Earth’s. Therefore, if something goes wrong, and the people in the spacecraft are lucky enough to be within Mars’ atmosphere when it happens, parachutes will not be able to save them.
Watch the video with Musk’s plans to overcome the immense challenges of Martian terrain, and safely sending people to Mars…and back.
Meet THOR—a Lightweight Mini-Plane Fresh out of the 3D Printer
Meet THOR—a Lightweight Mini-Plane Fresh out of the 3D Printer
Airbus S.A.S.
IN BRIEF
Airbus introduces the aviation world to a mini-plane called THOR (Test of High-tech Objectives in Reality). It is the first aircraft to be produced using 3D printing technology.
PRINTABLE AIRCRAFT
Airbus, a leading aircraft manufacturer, has just unleashed THOR—Test of High-tech Objectives in Reality—a miniature aircraft constructed from 3D printing technology. The windowless, pilotless, and propeller-driven THOR weighs in at 21 kg, and measures less than 4 m long.
Though it is much smaller than a regular jet, THOR is capable of stable flight and even promises to save on time, fuel and money.

The use of 3D printing technology in the field of aviation presents many benefits. Jens Henzler of the Hofmann Innovation Group, a leading supplier of automotive plastic components, says, “The printed pieces have the advantage of requiring no tools and…they can be made very quickly.”
Aside from the speedy production of parts, the metal components created from 3D printing technology are lighter than traditionally-manufactured parts by 30-50%. 3D-printed components also eliminate manufacturing waste and cut manufacturing costs.

Engineers also have plans to apply this technology to spacecraft. In fact, the European Space Agency (ESA) plans to begin using the Airbus Ariane 6 rocket in 2020, which will feature many printed components and potentially halve the costs incurred by its predecessor, the Ariane 5.
AVIATION INNOVATION
The latest 3D printers are capable of printing longer and more complex designs. Airbus is exploring this by testing methods enabling them to print an injection assembly for an engine, reducing the number of individual pieces from 270 to just three.
And because 3D-printed aircraft are lighter, they require less fuel, reducing carbon emissions and other pollutants from being released into the environment. As air traffic is expected to double in the next 20 years, reducing the carbon footprint in aviation is a priority. Ralf Fuecks—head of the Heinrich Boell foundation think tank of the German Green Party—says, “the decisive issue is radical technical innovation in a relatively short time.”
He may have a point. A survey of air industry insiders reveals that many believe that, by 2030, most spare aircraft parts will be printed on site at the airport, and that even the aircraft themselves will be entirely 3D-printed.
As most credible UFOlogists readily admit, proving that extraterrestrial spacecraft have visited our planet is a maddeningly difficult chore.
“The hassle over the word 'proof' boils down to one question: What constitutes proof?” Edward J. Ruppelt, who headed the U.S Air Force’s secret investigation of UFOs in the early 1950s, once wrote. “Does a UFO have to land at the River Entrance to the Pentagon, near the Joint Chiefs of Staff offices? Or is it proof when a ground radar station detects a UFO, sends a jet to intercept it, the jet pilot sees it, and locks on with his radar, only to have the UFO streak away at a phenomenal speed? Is it proof when a jet pilot fires at a UFO and sticks to his story even under the threat of court-martial? Does this constitute proof?”
More recently, Investigative journalist Leslie Keen, author of the 2011 book “UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record,” has noted that in roughly 90 to 95 percent of UFO sightings, observers turn out actually to have seen weather balloons, ball lightning, flares, aircraft, and other mundane phenomena. But another five to 10 percent of sightings are not so easily explainable, but that’s not the same as demonstrating that they are extraterrestrial in origin. Nevertheless, she argues, the hypothesis that UFOs are visitors from other worlds “is a rational one, and must be taken into account, given the data that we have.”
Here is some of the most compelling reasons that UFOs may be more than simple misidentifications of natural phenomena or terrestrial aircraft:
• The long, documented history of sightings.
UFOs were around, in fact, long before humans themselves took to the air. The first account of a UFO sighting in America was back in 1639, when Massachusetts colony governor John Winthrop noted in his journal that one James Everell, “a sober, discreet man,” and two other witnesses watched a luminous object fly up and down the Muddy River near Charlestown for two to three hours. There are documented sightings of what were then called “airships” during the 1800s as well, such as the July 1884 sighting of a Saturn-shaped UFO (a ball surrounded by a ring) in Norwood, NY, and a fast-moving object that briefly hovered over the startled townspeople of Everest, KS in 1897.
• Numerous modern sightings by credible, well-trained professional observers.
In Ruppelt’s 1955 book , “The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects,” he documented numerous instances of military service members, military and civilian pilots, scientists and other credible professionals who had observed UFOs. In one instance, Ruppelt describes the experience of a pilot of an Air Force F-86 fighter jet, who was scrambled to track a UFO and got to within 1,000 yards of a saucer-shaped object that abruptly flew away from him in a burst of speed after he fired upon it. He also mentions a 1948 UFO encounter in which two airline pilots got to within 700 feet of a UFO and saw two rows of windows with bright lights.
• Consistencies in the descriptions of purported alien ships.
Over the decades, witnesses who’ve seen UFOs have shown remarkable consistency in the shapes and other characteristics of the objects they’ve described. In 1949, the authors of the report for Project Sign, one of the early military investigations of UFOs, identified four main groups of objects—flying disks or saucers, cigar or torpedo-shaped craft without wings or fins, spherical or balloon-shaped objects that were capable of hovering or flying at high speed, and balls of light with no apparent physical form that were similarly maneuverable. Nearly a quarter-century later, a French government investigation headed by Claude Poher of the National Center for Space Research found similar patterns in more than 1,000 reports from France and various countries. One caveat is that in recent years, reports of wedge-shaped UFOs—which bear a similarity to the latest terrestrial military aircraft—have begun to supplant some of the traditional shapes.
• Possible physical evidence of encounters with alien spacecraft.
The 1968 University of Colorado report, compiled by a team headed by James Condon, documented numerous instances of areas where soil, grass, and other vegetation had been claimed by witnesses to have been flattened, burned, broken off, or blown away by a UFO. A report by Stanford University astrophysicist Peter Sturrock, who led a scientific study of physical evidence of UFOs in the late 1990s, describes samples of plants taken from a purported UFO landing site in France in 1981. French researchers found that the leaves had undergone unusual chemical changes of the sort that could have been caused by powerful microwave radiation—which was even more difficult to explain, considering that they found no trace of radioactivity at the site.
• Physiological effects on UFO witnesses.
The Sturrock report describes in detail various symptoms reported by individuals who had encountered UFOS, ranging from burns and temporary deafness to persistent nausea and memory loss. Among the most vivid examples: Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and Landrum’s young grandson Colby, who reportedly happened upon a “large, diamond-shaped object” hovering over a Texas road in December 1980. All three became ill afterward; Cash, for example, developed large water blisters on her face and swelling that closed her eyes, in addition to severe nausea and diarrhea. The effects persisted for years, and she was hospitalized more than two dozen times.
All these UFO sightings throughout history and other compelling pieces of evidence are more than enough to justify an official investigation into this phenomenon. Skeptics say "provide real evidence", but "real evidence" as in like an alien spaceship is hard to come by. What do want MUFON and every other UFOlogist to do? Try to hijack a UFO? If these are actual alien spacecrafts, then even if you have every single plane, nuke, bullet, cannon, anti-aircraft batteries, etc at your side, it would probably be totally useless. UFOs can supposedly go at tremendous speeds that could completely leave our best fighter jets in the dust. Reports say they can accelerate instantaneously. There is also some sort of bias against anyone who claims he or she has seen a UFO. Mainstream news outlets and scientists very rarely mention UFOs at all. Of course I can also look at this from the skeptics' point of view. Good evidence is almost nowhere to be found. There are too many nutcases who only disrupt credible UFOlogists and other people who genuinely want to see if there's something to this phenomenon. Frankly, the only chance I see of there being a real concern about this in mainstream news is if the aliens decide to fly their ships in broad daylight over the White House or any other famous landmark. You may think that all we can do is just wait and see, but the government is almost surely aware of the fact that UFOs are a genuine concern. We can do something about all the questions we have about these objects. Whether you want to disprove or prove that these UFOs are alien crafts or not, an official investigation should be launched.

Scientific panel concludes some UFO evidence worthy of study
Scientific panel concludes some UFO evidence worthy of study
In the first independent review of UFO phenomena since 1970, a panel of scientists has concluded that some sightings are accompanied by physical evidence that deserves scientific study. But the panel was not convinced that any of this evidence points to a violation of known natural laws or the involvement of an extraterrestrial intelligence.
The review was organized and directed by Peter Sturrock, professor of applied physics at Stanford University, and supported administratively by the Society for Scientific Exploration, which provides a forum for research into unexplained phenomena. The international review panel of nine physical scientists responded to presentations by eight investigators of UFO reports, who were asked to present their strongest data. Von R. Eshleman, professor emeritus of electrical engineering at Stanford, co-chaired the panel.
Although UFO reports date back 50 years, the information gathered does not prove that either unknown physical processes or alien technologies are implicated. But it does include a sufficient number of intriguing and inexplicable observations, the panel concluded. "It may be valuable to carefully evaluate UFO reports to extract information about unusual phenomena currently unknown to science." To be credible to the scientific community "such evaluations must take place with a spirit of objectivity and a willingness to evaluate rival hypotheses" that has so far been lacking, it added.
This conclusion differs from that reached by Dr. Edward U. Condon, director of the Colorado Project, in his 1968 UFO report. He concluded that "further extensive study of UFOs probably cannot be justified in the expectation that science will be advanced thereby." It is very similar, however, to the conclusion reached by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics' Kuettner Report issued two years later, which advocated "a continuing, moderate-level [research] effort with emphasis on improved data collection by objective means and on high-quality scientific analysis."
In the current study, the scientific panel focused on incidents involving some form of physical evidence, including photographic evidence, radar evidence, vehicle interference, interference with aircraft equipment, apparent gravitational or inertial effects, ground traces, injuries to vegetation, physiological effects on witnesses, and debris. Of particular concern are reports that UFO encounters may be hazardous to people's health. Some witnesses have reportedly suffered radiation-type injuries. These reports led the panel to draw the attention of the medical community to the possible health risks involved.
The scientists found that some of the reported incidents may have been caused by rare natural phenomena, such as electrical activity high above thunderstorms or radar ducting (the trapping and conducting of radar waves by atmospheric channels). However, the panel found that some of the phenomena related to UFOs are not easy to explain in this fashion.
Further analysis of the evidence presented to the panel is unlikely to shed added light on the causes underlying the reports, the scientists said. Most current UFO investigations lack the level of rigor required by the scientific community, despite the initiative and dedication of the investigators involved. But new data, scientifically acquired and analyzed, could yield useful information and advance our understanding of the UFO problem, the panel said.
The reviewers also made the following observations:
• The UFO problem is not a simple one, and it is unlikely that there is any simple, universal answer.
• Whenever there are unexplained observations, there is the possibility that scientists will learn something new by studying them.
• Studies should concentrate on cases that include as much independent physical evidence as possible.
• Continuing contact between the UFO community and physical scientists could be productive.
• Institutional support for research in this area is desirable.
The review panel consisted of Von Eshleman; Thomas Holzer, High Altitude Observatory in Boulder, Colo.; Randy Jokipii, professor of planetary science, University of Arizona, Tucson; Francois Louange, managing director of Fleximage, Paris, France; H. J. Melosh, professor of planetary science, University of Arizona, Tucson; James J. Papike, professor of earth and planetary sciences, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque; Guenther Reitz, German Aerospace Center, Institute for Aerospace Medicine, Cologne, Germany; Charles Tolbert, professor of astronomy, University of Virginia, Charlottesville; and Bernard Veyret, Bioelectromagnetics Laboratory, University of Bordeaux, France. Eshleman and Holzer served as co-chairs of the panel.
The UFO investigators who presented evidence were Richard Haines, Los Altos, Calif.; Illobrand von Ludwiger, Germany; Mark Rodeghier, Center for UFO Studies, Chicago; John Schuessler, Houston; Erling Strand, Ostfold College, Skjeberg, Norway; Michael Swords, professor of natural science, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo; Jacques Vallee, San Francisco; and Jean-Jacques Velasco, CNES, Toulouse, France.
The study was initiated by Laurance S. Rockefeller and supported financially by the LSR Fund.
Stephen Hawking says black holes may be a portal to another universe
In a newly published paper, the eminent physicist has theorised that black holes, which scientists still know little about, could be a portal to another universe.
It had been thought that black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that even light cannot escape from them and that they are all consuming of everything within their reach.
However, the 74-year old has now said that they might not be as dangerous as previously thought and may just be a door to another universe.
Writing in a paper, alongside Andrew Strominger from Harvard and Malcolm Perry from Cambridge University, Hawking addressed the belief that black holes have “no hair”.
The study, Physical Review Letters, said that anything that went into a black hole was lost forever.
However, the basic laws of the universe state that anything that has ever been in the universe is preserved via its “information”.
This led to a paradox as it was assumed that anything that fell into a black hole was gone.
GETTY
Black holes have baffled scientists
But since last year, Hawking has been stating that all is not lost inside a black hole.
He said last year: “Black holes are not the eternal prisons they were once thought.
“If you feel you are trapped in a black hole, don’t give up. There is a way out.
“The existence of alternative histories with black holes suggests this might be possible.
“The hole would need to be large and if it was rotating it might have a passage to another universe. But you couldn’t come back to our universe.”
His latest paper states that black holes do indeed have “hair” which either stores the information on the boundary or the event horizon.
This would mean, according to the paper, that if you were looking at a black hole in the right way – in the distant future for example – you would be able to see the hairs of a black hole which store the information.
A new report suggests that the emergence of life on the “billions” of habitable planets in the universe is bound to be fairly common.
However, due to the violence and instability of early planetary formation, it is extremely difficult to sustain and will go extinct in its infancy.
The report, published in Astrobiology, states that life on Earth was extremely fortunate that the planet remained habitable and points to our neighbours Venus and Mars for the “default” life cycle that they go through.
Mars and Venus once shared a similar climate to Earth, but the former underwent extreme cooling while the latter experienced extreme heating, which made it impossible to sustain life.
It says that life needs to emerge and evolve quickly, as life breeds life, if the planet is to remain habitable.
The paper reads: “If life emerges on a planet, it only rarely evolves quickly enough to regulate greenhouse gases and albedo, thereby maintaining surface temperatures compatible with liquid water and habitability.”
It continues: “Due to large impacts and unstable abiotic volatile evolution with no tendency to maintain habitability, almost all life goes extinct early—with the rare exceptions of life that has undergone unusually rapid evolution.”
GETTY
Alien life is likely common
In a separate comment piece published on The Conversation, the researchers, Aditya Chopra And Charley Lineweaver, Australian National University, write that life in the universe has likely been and gone.
They said: "Our suggestion that the universe is filled with dead aliens might disappoint some, but the universe is under no obligation to prevent disappointment.
“We should not expect technological or spacefaring civilisations because there is no evidence that biological evolution converges to human-like intelligence.
“And subjective philosophical notions of life in the universe should not inform our estimates of the probability of life beyond Earth.”

'Best piece of UFO evidence in years' filmed by NASA as Tim Peake docked with ISS
'Best piece of UFO evidence in years' filmed by NASA as Tim Peake docked with ISS
THIS footage of the International Space Station apparently surrounded by Unidentifed Flying Objects (UFOs) this week as been branded "the best piece of evidence in years" for the existence of aliens.
Were aliens buzzing the ISS as British astronaut Tim Peake docked?
The footage has caused a storm after being uploaded on a video by YouTube channel Mister Enigma entitled "UFOs seeen everywhere during Soyuz docking on NASA USTREAM."
It shows a portion of the docking between the Russian Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft and International Space Station (ISS) on December 15, when Tim Peake became the first British astronaut to board the space station.
In the video, the narrator, who speaks with a creepy robotic voice, says: "This video, which was taken by the ISS on Tuesday during the docking between the Souyez spacecraft and the ISS is the best piece of UFO evidence captured in years.
"Dozens of UFOs can be seen in the background - some zipping off in the distance, others gently floating by, and even one gigantic doughnut-shaped UFO that seems to inspect the event.
"Once the camera zooms out the sun seems to light them up."

Mister Enigma video narrator
The new footage has been likened to the "Tether UFO incident" of 1996, when a satellite which was tethered to a space shuttle broke off.
When it was later filmed by the astronauts on board, it appeared to be swarmed by hundreds of "UFOs" that appeared like organisms swimming in a sea.
"The footage is like the infamous UFO tether video that took place in the 90s, and it's very strange that it aired live and did not get cut off like most ufo’s that are seen on the NASA screen."
During the tether incident footage the objects are brushed off by the astronauts as being "some of the debris that follows us being caught by sunlight.
Others have said these weird anomalies in NASA space videos are ice particles or just lens flares.
In 39 days this type of engine could get us to Mars. That sounds pretty cool and expensive but some think it is definitely worth it besides satisfying intellectual curiosity. But of course the first challenge is thrust. Current rocket engines that burn solid fuels are super powerful but likely could not get us to the red planet or other parts of the solar system with people in a reasonable time frame. However, this technique which is barely at the prototype phase has yielded some promising results.
Is this insane or what?
Let’s find out more about how this could work in the video on page
Here is a bit more information on how this thruster works. The basic technology has been known for a few decades but they made some improvements:
Known as a Hall thruster, these engines have been operating in space since 1971, and are now routinely flown on communication satellites and space probes to adjust their orbits when needed. These things are awesome, and scientists want to use them to get humans to Mars, except there’s one – rather large – problem: the current lifespan of a Hall thruster is around 10,000 operation hours, and that’s way too short for most space exploration missions, which require upwards of 50,000 hours.
What do you think? Is this a reasonable way to get people to Mars? And if we did that, what would the purpose be and what would be the best things to do first? Feel free to comment with your ideas.
And they are actually discussing future fundings in congress right now for some of these types on engines which should pique the interest of space fans too.
