In the modern lexicon used by most non-fringe writers today, the subject of UFOs would generally be referred to as a “conspiracy theory”. The general attitude behind this presumption holds that UFOs, if they exist, are something most “believers” presume to be extraterrestrial visitors; an unlikely possibility that, in order to remain unsubstantiated, would almost have to rely on world governments maintaining a degree of secrecy on the matter.
Thus, to believe in UFOs almost requires one to find acceptance with other fringe areas of thought just as well; such things as a “shadow government”, and equally-shadowy scenarios where the “real truth” about our universe is kept from the general public by those in authority. In other words, there would seem to be hardly any way the subject of UFOs can be discussed in a modern context, without an air of conspiracy eventually entering the discussion.
Interestingly, most writers and researchers within the UFO field have been accepting of the idea of a conspiratorial angle relating to UFO studies. Arguably though, these individuals would dismiss the notion (and perhaps rightly so) that the insinuation of a “conspiracy” is necessarily something that reduces the credibility of a pro-UFO argument. As historian Richard Dolan has noted, the usage of the term conspiracy theory actually has a history in the intelligence community; more specifically, the term began to see popular use in the years following the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, which became useful in marginalizing theories about the incident that fell outside the findings of the Warren Commission and its official report.
Decades ago, for the subject of UFOs to be referred to as a “conspiracy theory” might have seemed strange. However, in modern usage it is all too common to find articles in which terms like “UFO conspiracy theorists” are thrown about (in fact, I can think of one notable instance where Mysterious Universe was actually referred to as a “conspiracy theory website”, as stated by a writer for Snopes.com. Although some conspiracy theories are discussed here, I would also argue that a broad range of non-conspiratorial subjects are addressed here too).
In Michael Barkun’s book, A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America (University of California Press),the author makes many examples of conspiratorial thought within UFO studies and belief. In the excerpt below, one of the most convoluted and polarizing situations in UFO history, which involved the controversial MJ-12 papers, are discussed, in relation to how the debate over their legitimacy has helped foment further advocacy for a conspiratorial nature to the broader UFO phenomenon:
In the years since the MJ-12 papers became widely known, they have taken on a life of their own. Additional, related documents periodically appear, some as recently as 1998. Just as with the Kennedy assassination, MJ-12 has generated a cottage industry of commentators, authenticators, and critics. More broadly, MJ-12 laid the foundation for elaborate conspiracy theories by suggesting that UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin, that the federal government was aware of them as early as the late 1940s, and that a secret bureaucracy had been created to study and control the situation. These claims allowed some ufologists to shift from observation of flying saucers to attempts to unravel alleged government machinations. The proliferation of MJ-12 documents and theories not only identified the enemy as a segment of the government, but— inasmuch as this “secret government” was supposed to have hidden all relevant information— allowed great latitude in what might be “revealed.” It mattered little whether publicly available evidence confirmed a claim; its author could always respond, “The government knows it, but won’t tell you.”
Perhaps it could be argued, without sensationalism, or even the insinuation of “fringe” ideas, that publicly available evidence does exist which seems to confirm — if not that UFOs as an extraterrestrial or other exotic technology do exist — that government agencies have at very least maintained an interest in the subject.
In many cases, this interest likely has had more to do with how belief in the subject might be controlled or influenced. For instance, if we accept the most widely-agreed upon explanation for the aforementioned MJ-12 affair — one in which the papers were determined to be forgeries aimed at misleading elements within the UFO community — it would certainly seem that we do not, therefore, acknowledge that the majority of the ideas expressed within the documents were legitimate. Nonetheless, if we recognize the broader context in which the alleged “leak” of those papers occurred, involving numerous similar UFO misinformation campaigns directed at notable researchers within the community, we do begin to see that government agencies played a clear role in the affair. More specifically, Richard Doty, who had been an AFOSI Special Agent at the time, had worked to assist with the careful presentation of information pertaining to UFOs to researchers that included Paul Bennewitz and a number of others, aimed at misleading and, thus, discrediting them.
Former AFOSI Special Agent Richard Doty
What I’ve presented here might be viewed as a justification, by some, for belief in conspiracies among the UFO community. To the contrary, this argument merely illustrates the way the “conspiracy theory” terminology and its related stereotypes have helped marginalize the UFO advocacy groups over time, despite the fact that historical precedent exists for actual “UFO conspiracies”, and even some degree of government involvement in them. However, it could be further argued that in a broader assessment of UFOs, a general belief in conspiracies among its proponents does not render any significant benefits.
Because of this, I have long argued the necessity for a more scientific and, when warranted, skeptical outlook on the phenomenon, applied by independent researchers and investigative organizations alike. In my recent essay, “Toward a Better UFOlogy: Applying Science to the Study of UAP“, I presented a number of reasons why the research community might benefit from less focus or adherence to the idea (or politcal movement, essentially) of UFO disclosure; in equal measure, I present a newly updated system of classifications for various UFO types, and finally, a set of “filters” for helping identify various unidentified flying objects, with the aim of being able to help observers make reasonable identifications of various conventional aircraft, objects, and natural phenomena that often lead to UFO reports. In my view, the proper ability to assess information in the truly “unidentified” UFO reports would help reduce our data set to a much smaller number of reports; the very best of these may then begin to represent a much clearer picture of what some UFO technologies (if they are indeed technological) actually are.
In the end, if we are to ask whether UFOs are a matter of science, or one of pure conspiracy, there may not be any pure distinction. The UFO subject is inevitably linked to conspiracies, both of the real kind, and of the variety implied through popular terminology. However, despite the persistence of conspiracies in relation to all this, in order to reliably move forward in our understanding of this subject is to attempt to apply science to it; while UFOs may never fully escape the stigmas of fringe belief, they nonetheless represent a subject that could benefit from, and perhaps even be beneficial to, science.
Right now, I have a new book out titled Women in Black: The Creepy Companions of the Mysterious M.I.B. It’s a book which, as the title suggests, tells a very strange and at times even disturbing story. It is a story that has pretty much consistently stayed under the radar of the UFO research community. This is hardly surprising, however, taking into consideration the fact that reports of the WIB are so often overlooked, or deliberately ignored, by saucer-sleuths. There is a very good reason why such a situation has occurred. For many people within Ufology, if it’s not good old “nuts and bolts” Ufology – of the kind that got Donald Keyhoe so excited decades ago – they don’t want to know about it. Much like those many dedicated Bigfoot-seekers who have no time for the weirder side of Sasquatch.
The Women in Black are clearly not a part of that aforementioned “nuts and bolts” domain. They’re much weirder – even though there is an undeniable connection to the UFO puzzle. Which, of course, raises big questions about the true nature of the UFO phenomenon. Just like their male, black-clad counterparts, the WIB are not the employees – or the “secret agents” – of any arm of government, of the military, or of the intelligence community. Indeed, just about all of the presently available data suggests they aren’t even human.
As I note in my book, none other than the recently departed Albert Bender – who, in near single-handed fashion brought the Men in Black mystery to life in the early 1950s – was exposed to the Women in Black enigma roughly a decade and a half before he had his own chilling encounters with the MIB. As I also note in the book, there’s no doubt that the Woman in Black and the MIB of the Bender family were connected. The link practically jumps out. The WIB connection to the so-called “Contactee” movement of the 1950s also comes to light – providing that one knows where to look for it.
In the 1960s, John Keel – of The Mothman Prophecies fame – came to realize that the Men in Black had their female equivalents, and he even incurred their ominous wrath. And their unsettling manipulation, too. By the 1970s, things got decidedly weird. Black-wig-wearing, pale-faced women were knocking on doors and terrifying those they visited, silencing UFO witnesses, and asking crazy questions.
And, as with the MIB, the Women in Black are always looking to spread their wings. We’re talking about WIBs silencing seekers of cryptozoological creatures, threatening those that delve into the world of the occult, and monitoring those investigating so-called “animal mutilations.” Then, there’s what is quite possibly the most alarming part of all. We’re talking about people quickly falling sick after encountering the Women in Black. No, I don’t mean the likes of panic-attacks or sleepless nights.
Rather, I mean serious physical illnesses – as if the WIB have the ability to somehow supernaturally “infect” us. Controversial? Of course! But, everything about the Women in Black is controversial – such as their sometimes-reported plastic-like skin, their uncanny knack of seemingly controlling the minds of the poor souls they target, and their “here one second and gone the next second” abilities.
Should you ever receive a late-night, slow knock on the front-door, be careful. Verycareful. Inviting one of the Women in Black into your home may not be a wise move. In fact, it may be just about the biggest mistake possible.

Schok: Topwetenschapper zegt definitief bewijs te hebben dat God bestaat
Schok: Topwetenschapper zegt definitief bewijs te hebben dat God bestaat
De wereldberoemde futurist en theoretisch natuurkundige Michio Kaku heeft voor een schok gezorgd in de wetenschappelijke wereld. In een recent opgedoken video zegt Kaku, die meer dan 70 artikelen publiceerde in wetenschappelijke tijdschriften, bewijs te hebben voor het bestaan van God. Dat meldt nieuwssite WND.
In het filmpje dat hij enige tijd geleden maakte voor Big Think zegt de wetenschapper dat hij gelooft dat God achter het universum zit. “Ik heb geconcludeerd dat we in een wereld leven met regels die geschapen zijn door een universele intelligentie,” zegt Kaku in de video.
11-dimensionale hyperruimte
“Voor mij is het duidelijk dat we leven in een wereld die wordt gestuurd door bepaalde natuurwetten die zijn opgesteld en geschapen door een universele intelligentie, en niet door toeval,” zegt hij verder.
“De eindconclusie kan luiden dat God een wiskundige is,” aldus Kaku. “Het brein van God, zo geloven we, is als kosmische muziek. Als muziek van violen die resoneren naar een 11-dimensionale hyperruimte.”
Matrix
De wetenschapper zegt onlangs bewijs te hebben gevonden dat er een hoger wezen is, dat hij omschrijft als een kracht ‘die alles aanstuurt’. Kaku, één van de ontwikkelaars van de revolutionaire snaartheorie, zegt dat een theoretisch deeltje genaamd tachyon kan worden gebruikt om het bestaan van God te bewijzen.
Een tachyon is een exotisch hypothetisch deeltje dat sneller gaat dan het licht. Na een aantal tests stelde de professor van het City College of New York vast dat we in een soort ‘Matrix’ leven.
A British witness at Maidstone reported watching and photographing a triangle UFO during a multi-UFO sighting, according to testimony in Case 76186 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The reporting witness and her 17-year-old daughter were sitting inside with the blinds open at 9:30 a.m. on May 4, 2016, when the daughter asked about an object in the sky she was seeing.
“There was a black triangle hovering in the sky,” the witness stated.“We didn’t take our eyes off it. Very slowly it moved to the north. After approximately 10 minutes and to the left of it a black orb appeared. There was another object just below and to the right of the orb that looked like a line and seemed to follow the orb.”
Cropped and enlarged version of witness Image 2.
But then the orb changed shape.
“Very slowly the orb changed shape and became another black triangle. We could no longer see the ‘line ‘ and by now the first triangle had moved out of sight as our view was obstructed by a building. The second triangle was stationary to begin with then very slowly moved north as the first one had. Eventually we couldn’t see it.”
Cropped and enlarged version of witness Image 3.
The witness described the orb.
“When it was an orb it seemed to come closer and get bigger before it turned into a triangle. There were no lights. I couldn’t hear any noise, but my hearing is not as sharp as it used to be and my daughter is adamant there was a humming noise. From the position of the objects it looked as if they were over a nearby motorway. A plane went past at one point, much higher than the triangle and with lights, where what we saw had none. When the object was stationary it was moving very slightly from side-to-side. It all lasted approximately one hour.”

The witness ruled out known objects.

“As we watched we spoke to each other about what it could be. It certainly wasn’t a plane, helicopter or balloon. We’re certain what we saw was nothing manmade or natural. We felt like we didn’t want it to leave.”

UFO Appears To Fly 50 to 100 Times Faster Than Any Terrestrial Flying Objects
UFO Appears To Fly 50 to 100 Times Faster Than Any Terrestrial Flying Objects
A flight tracker app spotted a bizarre object and showed it (object) hurtling across the ocean. The mysterious aerial thing, according to conspiracy theorists, flew 50 to 100 times faster than a typical aircraft over Australia.
The so-called evidence shows dozens of different aeroplanes in the area.
It shows several airplanes operating in New South Wales, Australia.
However, the object in question seems to travel much faster than the other aircraft.
Additionally, a New Zealand news website also claimed traffic cameras in Australia captured the UFO speeding from the ocean across the skyline of the city.
The images were apparently captured on May 6, 2016. The video, which was uploaded to YouTube, has now been viewed over 200,000 times.
However, a lot of viewers appear less convinced about the authenticity of the footage.
One YouTube user wrote that a tracker app like it uses Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B). The user explained that the transponder was on the aircraft for it to show up, making the unknown object a terrestrial one.
While many doubt the clip, others are convinced it shows something strange, saying that UFOs are becoming the worst kept secret in the world.
Telescopes May Ride Giant Balloons to Better See the Stars
Telescopes May Ride Giant Balloons to Better See the Stars
By Kasandra Brabaw, Space.com Contributor |
A space-based version of the Large Balloon Reflector could be used to float a 20- to 30-meter (66 to 98 feet) telescope, the Terahertz Space Telescope, into space to investigate the evolution of the universe.

A giant balloon could forever change the way astronomers look at the stars.
Technology under development by a 2014 NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts award winner aims to raise a telescope directly into space, nestled inside a balloon the size of a football field.
Christopher Walker, an astronomy professor and professor of optical sciences and electrical engineering at the University of Arizona, won Phase 2 funding from the program two years ago and is now seeing his concept come to life.
He calls it LBR, for large balloon reflector. The balloon would consist of an inflatable, half-aluminized spherical reflector inside a much larger stratospheric balloon. The outer balloon would also act as protection for the telescope once in position outside Earth's atmosphere.
Walker said he hopes to launch the balloon to about 120,000 feet (37,000 meters) above Earth. When looking up, it would act as a particularly powerful telescope, free from almost 99 percent of the atmospheric absorption that keeps telescopes on Earth from seeing certain wavelengths of light, Walker said. That would allow the telescope to scan the universe in far infrared. Measuring those wavelengths could help scientists not only see stars that already exist, but also pinpoint where new stars are likely to form, NASA officials said in a statement.
This version of the Large Balloon Reflector would fly high in the stratosphere.

LBR could serve as more than a telescope as well. When the balloon is looking down, it could sense changes in the Earth's atmosphere and greenhouse gases and eventually become a hub for telecommunication, Walker said.
Now, Walker and his team are working on a space-based version of LBR, which he's calling the Terahertz Space Telescope (TST). TST would monitor space for the formation and evolution of galaxies. Once in space, the instrument would shed the large outer balloon and leave the balloon's spherical reflector.
"You're not fighting gravity to make it spherical," Walker said in the statement. "It makes it structurally easier to achieve very high tolerance of 'sphere-isity.' In space, the sphere can be radiatively cooled to very low temperatures, allowing a better view of the distant universe."
As of now, though, TST is still just a concept and needs more development to determine whether it's feasible both technologically and economically.
"It's a tough road ahead, but we'll keep pushing forward," Walker said. "I'm hopeful I can get people motivated and excited about the concept … to think outside the box."
Black holes and wormholes are the ultimate fodder for science fiction. Need to travel through time? No problem! Build a wormhole. Want to see a different universe? Dive into a black hole!
Though these imaginings are often far-fetched and, let's face it, likely impossible, most are based on real theoretical physics ideas and, in new research focused on the nature of space-time inside a black hole, theorists have come up with a possible means of zipping around time and space... though it certainly wouldn't be comfortable.
A black hole is as gravitationally extreme as it can get. Throw together enough matter in the same place and its mutual gravity will crush everything down to a single point until space-time itself collapses in on itself. Everything we know and love occupies space-time, so as it becomes warped around a black hole nothing, not even light, can escape its gravitational clutches. The point of no escape (where the gradient of space-time is so steep it traps light) is known as the event horizon.
For the most part, we have no experience of what goes on beyond the event horizon, it is off-limits to external observers. But theory says that for the black hole to exist, there needs to be a singularity in the center. A singularity is basically where math (and, by extension, nature) breaks down; it's where the cosmic calculator divided by zero and got infinity. This cosmic computing mistake is hidden in the depths of the event horizon -- if we can't experience it, does it really matter what it is?
WATCH VIDEO: The Race To See The Black Hole At The Center Of Our Galaxy
According to a team of physicists led by Diego Rubiera-Garcia of the University of Lisbon, Portugal, actually the weird physics of a black hole's singularity could turn our "classical" idea about black holes on its head. What if general relativity breaks down and the singularity isn't a singularity at all? What if we replace the singularity with a wormhole? Suddenly, instead of being the ultimate trash compactors of the universe, black holes become the ultimate sci-fi dream: they could be space-time transportation hubs.
But, as is the case with most black hole stories, there's a catch.
In previous calculations, Rubiera-Garcia's team created a theoretical model of a black hole without a singularity. To their surprise, in the singularity's place, a finite-sized and spherical wormhole structure appeared. This is very important; it seems that instead of spitting out a confounding singularity, the math naturally creates a wormhole.
Before we can understand why this is important, we first have to consider why singularities are a thorn in the side of theorists and sci-fi writers alike. It is predicted that as an object (or unfortunate astronaut) falls into a black hole, tidal forces will be so extreme that "spaghettification" becomes a thing. The tidal forces at the astronaut's toes would be much larger than what they'd feel at their head. They'd experience crushing forces from the sides, but extreme stretching between their toes and head. The best way to imagine it is to think about making spaghetti, only with the human body instead of pasta.
Should our stretched astronaut reach the singularity, they'd be infinitely long and infinitely thin -- a situation that doesn't make much sense.
But swap an infinitely tiny singularity with a finite-sized wormhole and things get a lot more interesting. Wormholes are a mathematical consequence of Einstein's general relativity, but we have yet to find any evidence they actually exist. If they do exist, they would be made of a tube of spacetime, opening a passageway to another location or time (as space and time are intimately linked) in the universe. As the "neck" of the wormhole's opening is finite, there's none of this mathematical singularity nonsense messing with our astronaut. Sure, he or she would still be spaghettified, but they'd be more of a linguine than a spaghetti. So, hypothetically, their extremely tidally deformed body could pass through the neck of the wormhole.
"Each particle of the observer follows a geodesic line determined by the gravitational field," said Rubiera-Garcia in a statement. "Each geodesic feels a slightly different gravitational force, but the interactions among the constituents of the body could nonetheless sustain the body."
In the paper published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, the researchers do point out that this wormhole isn't a "traditionally traversable" wormhole, so it's not the kind of wormhole that you could fit a stonking great spaceship through and expect it to resemble a spaceship on the other side. It would be microscopic and not traversable by macroscopic objects, but it would be a wormhole nonetheless.
Needless to say, this work is steeped in theoretical number-crunching and it's hard to see how we could prove there's a wormhole sitting in the centers of black holes except, perhaps, to do a Matthew McConaughey and find out for ourselves.
'Star Trek' Dating Service Lets You Look for Love in the Final Frontier
'Star Trek' Dating Service Lets You Look for Love in the Final Frontier
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
The USS Enterprise adorns the wedding cake of TrekDating.com founder Jonathan Bird, who met his wife (also a "Star Trek" fan) on his own website.

If you're looking for the perfect redshirt to snuggle with under a USS Enterprise blanket while watching "Star Trek" reruns, you're in luck.
Single Trekkies of all sexual orientations can beam up their profiles on TrekDating.com, a site established in 2013 when founder Jonathan Bird was looking for love himself. It worked, by the way. He and wife Dawn met on the website just two days after she joined. (Jonathan Bird said the marriage is still going well, even though Dawn doesn't speak Klingon.)
"A few years ago, I wanted to teach myself code," Bird told Space.com via email. "I'd already opened a few dating sites but never built them from scratch myself. I knew I'd have to build something that kept me interested; after all, it's the only way to learn. So, being a Trekkie myself, I figured, Why not TrekDating.com?"
Millions of users have already signed up, Bird said. But he's anticipating an even bigger surge in traffic now that the "Star Trek" franchise has hit its 50th anniversary. (The original TV series debuted in 1966.) In the last year alone, TrekDating.com has added nearly 100,000 members, most of whom hail from the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, Bird said.
The U.K.-based website is part of a growing group of dating sites and services that cater specifically to fans of comics, science fiction and fantasy. Many comic conventions offer a speed dating service to attendees, for example. Other options are also available online, such as StarTrekDating.com, Trek Passions and Trekkie Dating.
"TrekDating.com shows no signs of slowing down," Bird said. "Our plan is simple: Continue to support the fans and give them a safe place to meet. Because without them, the site won't boldly go anywhere."
A weird UFO that produced a really loud sound scared a mother and daughter when they saw the mysterious object in the sky over a busy road on a windy day in Australia. They managed to capture the enigmatic unidentified flying object on video.
The footage, which was taken in the city of Melbourne, was posted online and has gone viral, with many UFO seekers and alien enthusiasts insisting this is final proof that intelligent beings not from our planet have visited us.
However, we hear about ‘final proof’ at least once a week, then the claims are heard no more, and the public’s gaze is directed to the next mysterious object, which nine times out of ten is another example of ‘final proof’.
The UFO was seen while a mother and daughter were driving along a motorway in Melbourne, Australia. SecureTeam10 has asked other potential witnesses to contact them.
(Image: YouTube)
A mother was driving with her daughter as passenger last Tuesday when they saw the diamond-shaped UFO up in the sky.
UFO did not look man-made
According to SecureTeam10, an organisation that claims to receive hundreds and hundreds of UFO sightings, sifts through them and posts the most interesting or seemingly authentic ones online, the mother and daughter said the mysterious objects ‘did not look like anything man-made’.
he video narrator, SecureTeam10’s Tyler Glockner, started off with the following comment:
“The next piece of video is going to blow your mind, and I’m at a loss for words as to what it is.”
The footage begins with the camera looking through the front windscreen of a car in what looks like a busy motorway.
Tyler explained:
“They saw this strange, triangular UFO – it also looks more like a rectangle, I don’t know, but it has a very odd shape. They said it did not look like anything man-made, it wasn’t a plane, obviously, it wasn’t a drone, kite or anything like that because they said it was extremely windy out.”
Tyler explains that the witnesses said ‘it was windy out’. However, in the video, the trees do not move at all – not even a tiny little bit. That does not make sense.

According to Tyler, a drone or kite would not hover motionless up in the air on a very windy day. However, I saw absolutely no sign of any wind at all when I looked at the tall trees next to the motorway – the trees did not sway, not even a little bit.
The UFO was described as moving at its own pace before disappearing behind some trees and a wall next to the motorway.
A diamond-shaped object is clearly visible on the video, up in the sky beyond the trees. Tyler is sure, after carefully examining to film, that it was not a smudge on the glass.
The mother said the UFO was making a ‘really loud sound – a very odd loud sound’.
At Market Business News, we suspect that SecureTeam10 consists of just one person – Tyler. I have seen many of their videos, and have only ever heard his voice on it.
Viewer responses
Comments ranged from expressions of ridicule, amazement to jokes and humour.
One person, who uses the name The LEGO Work Shop, wrote:
“Aliens are such attention whores…always flying around in hopes of getting on YouYube.”
Some people suggested that if the aliens really wanted fame on Earth, they should consider landing their craft, coming out and talking to us. Kat Holiday did not think this would be a good idea, and wrote:
“Hey! We all wanna keep away from ending up like the Kardashians!”
Like me, a viewer – Steven Mactavish – also wondered how the trees could be completely still on a very windy day. He wrote:
“Extremely windy -> trees standing still :D. The trees don’t even sway.”
Some viewers noticed that Tyler initially said he was ‘at a loss for words’, and then talked non-stop for 11 minutes.
Several people though it might be Uranus, twin weather balloons caught in an updraft, or a large cardboard box caught in the wind.

Made in Space
Voyager plus loin, plus longtemps, en brisant les dernières frontières qui nous séparent de l’inconnu : telle est la vision de la société Made In Space, basée en Californie, qui a récemment obtenu un financement de la NASA pour étudier la manière de transformer des astéroïdes géants en vaisseaux spatiaux mécaniques et autonomes.
L’idée semble romanesque, elle fait pourtant son chemin. Pour preuve, le projet baptisé RAMA (Reconstituting Asteroids into Mechanical Automata) vient de jouir d’une jolie subvention (100 000 dollars) du programme de la NASA Innovative Concepts avancés (NIAC), qui vise à encourager le développement de technologies visant à l’exploration spatiale. Leur idée : étudier la manière de transformer des astéroïdes géants en vaisseaux spatiaux mécaniques et autonomes, dans le but de transporter des fournitures et autres matériaux pour les avant-postes qui pourraient être placés dans les limites du système solaire, voire même au-delà.
« Aujourd’hui, nous avons la capacité d’apporter des ressources de la Terre dans l’espace » concède volontiersJason Dunn, co-fondateur et directeur de la technologie chez Made In Space. « Mais quand nous arrivons à un point de basculement où nous avons besoin de nouvelles ressources dans l’ espace, tout devient alors beaucoup plus compliqué » explique-t-il.
À cette problématique se greffe une idée : s’atteler aux astéroïdes, prélever des roches, puis utiliser cette matière première pour construire des systèmes de propulsion, de navigation, de stockage d’énergie et autres systèmes clés directement sur place grâce à l’impression 3D. L’homme sait de quoi il parle ; Made In Space possède une expertise d’impression 3D considérable. C’est d’ailleurs sa société qui a construit les deux dernières imprimantes installées à bord de la Station spatiale internationale.

Transformés en vaisseaux spatiaux autonomes, les astéroïdes pourraient alors être programmés pour se rendre à une station minière située dans l’espace Terre-lune, ou partout ailleurs où ils seraient nécessaires. Une approche beaucoup plus efficace que les lancements onéreux et systématiques de nouvelles sondes. Les astéroïdes ainsi convertis ne ressembleraient en rien à l’idée du traditionnel vaisseau spatial, équipé de moteurs de fusée et de circuits électroniques complexes. Au contraire, tout serait ici mécanique et relativement primitif.
« L’ordinateur serait analogique, semblable, peut-être, au mécanisme d’Anticythère inventé par les Grecs anciens pour tracer le mouvement des corps célestes« , explique Dunn. « Le système de propulsion pourrait être une sorte de catapulte contrôlée, propulsant ainsi la roche de l’espace dans la direction opposée (comme décrit par la troisième loi du mouvement de Newton), a-t-il ajouté.
Concernant les échéances d’un tel programme, toute discussion est pour le moment spéculative. Le chercheur estime néanmoins que l’effort pourrait nécessiter 20 ans ou plus. Si tel est le cas, la première embarcation de semences pourrait décoller à la fin des années 2030.
Residents claim UFO sighting in touristic Turkish district
Residents claim UFO sighting in touristic Turkish district
Several people in the touristic district of Bodrum in the southern province of Muğla claim to have seen an illuminated object moving erratically in the sky, stirring speculation about a possible “UFO” sighting. A number of residents of the district’s Çiftlik neighborhood said the object they saw was both moving and staying still.
The alleged object was spotted during sahur, the meal before dawn during Ramadan, creating excitement in the district, as the residents claimed the object remained in the sky for 20 minutes.
“When we got up for sahur, we went to the terrace of the house. I always look at the sky and watch the stars. I was shocked to see an object that I’ve never seen before shining in sudden movements and changing its color, while it stayed still sometimes,” said Necla Karaca, 39, who witnessed and took photos of the “UFO,” while adding that the “weirdly moving” object didn’t look like a plane.
“Our neighbors and relatives also witnessed this. We got excited and became suspicious of the object being an UFO,” she added.

Yes, There Have Been Aliens
Yes, There Have Been Aliens

LAST month astronomers from theKepler spacecraft team announced the discovery of 1,284 new planets, all orbiting stars outside our solar system. The total number of such “exoplanets” confirmed via Kepler and other methods now stands at more than 3,000.
This represents a revolution in planetary knowledge. A decade or so ago the discovery of even a single new exoplanet was big news. Not anymore. Improvements in astronomical observation technology have moved us from retail to wholesale planet discovery. We now know, for example, that every star in the sky likely hosts at least one planet.
But planets are only the beginning of the story. What everyone wants to know is whether any of these worlds has aliens living on it. Does our newfound knowledge of planets bring us any closer to answering that question?
A little bit, actually, yes. In a paper published in the May issue of the journal Astrobiology, the astronomer Woodruff Sullivan and I show that while we do not know if any advanced extraterrestrial civilizations currently exist in our galaxy, we now have enough information to conclude that they almost certainly existed at some point in cosmic history.
Among scientists, the probability of the existence of an alien society with which we might make contact is discussed in terms of something called the Drake equation. In 1961, the National Academy of Sciences asked the astronomer Frank Drake to host a scientific meeting on the possibilities of “interstellar communication.” Since the odds of contact with alien life depended on how many advanced extraterrestrial civilizations existed in the galaxy, Drake identified seven factors on which that number would depend, and incorporated them into an equation.
The first factor was the number of stars born each year. The second was the fraction of stars that had planets. After that came the number of planets per star that traveled in orbits in the right locations for life to form (assuming life requires liquid water). The next factor was the fraction of such planets where life actually got started. Then came factors for the fraction of life-bearing planets on which intelligence and advanced civilizations (meaning radio signal-emitting) evolved. The final factor was the average lifetime of a technological civilization.
Drake’s equation was not like Einstein’s E=mc2. It was not a statement of a universal law. It was a mechanism for fostering organized discussion, a way of understanding what we needed to know to answer the question about alien civilizations. In 1961, only the first factor — the number of stars born each year — was understood. And that level of ignorance remained until very recently.
That’s why discussions of extraterrestrial civilizations, no matter how learned, have historically boiled down to mere expressions of hope or pessimism. What, for example, is the fraction of planets that form life? Optimists might marshal sophisticated molecular biological models to argue for a large fraction. Pessimists then cite their own scientific data to argue for a fraction closer to 0. But with only one example of a life-bearing planet (ours), it’s hard to know who is right.
Or consider the average lifetime of a civilization. Humans have been using radio technology for only about 100 years. How much longer will our civilization last? A thousand more years? A hundred thousand more? Ten million more? If the average lifetime for a civilization is short, the galaxy is likely to be unpopulated most of the time. Once again, however, with only one example to draw from, it’s back to a battle between pessimists and optimists.
But our new planetary knowledge has removed some of the uncertainty from this debate. Three of the seven terms in Drake’s equation are now known. We know the number of stars born each year. We know that the percentage of stars hosting planets is about 100. And we also know that about 20 to 25 percent of those planets are in the right place for life to form. This puts us in a position, for the first time, to say something definitive about extraterrestrial civilizations — if we ask the right question.
In our recent paper, Professor Sullivan and I did this by shifting the focus of Drake’s equation. Instead of asking how many civilizations currently exist, we asked what the probability is that ours is the only technological civilization that has ever appeared. By asking this question, we could bypass the factor about the average lifetime of a civilization. This left us with only three unknown factors, which we combined into one “biotechnical” probability: the likelihood of the creation of life, intelligent life and technological capacity.
You might assume this probability is low, and thus the chances remain small that another technological civilization arose. But what our calculation revealed is that even if this probability is assumed to be extremely low, the odds that we are not the first technological civilization are actually high. Specifically, unless the probability for evolving a civilization on a habitable-zone planet is less than one in 10 billion trillion, then we are not the first.
To give some context for that figure: In previous discussions of the Drake equation, a probability for civilizations to form of one in 10 billion per planet was considered highly pessimistic. According to our finding, even if you grant that level of pessimism, a trillion civilizations still would have appeared over the course of cosmic history.
In other words, given what we now know about the number and orbital positions of the galaxy’s planets, the degree of pessimism required to doubt the existence, at some point in time, of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization borders on the irrational.
In science an important step forward can be finding a question that can be answered with the data at hand. Our paper did just this. As for the big question — whether any other civilizations currently exist — we may have to wait a long while for relevant data. But we should not underestimate how far we have come in a short time.
The topic of Unidentified Flying Objects is one that’s currently gripping the attention of many, so much so that it looks like the United States will be releasing some of its UFO files in the near future, according to longtime White House insider John Podesta, Hillary Clinton, and several other sources from where the ‘official’ announcement will most likely come. Although it’s hard to expect any sort of full truth about this topic to be fully disclosed in the mainstream, ‘official’ files from several different governments and intelligence agencies from around the world already confirm the existence of UFOs (links below), so don’t get your hopes up for any type of new information that another country hasn’t already disclosed, but who knows?
You can read more about ‘official government disclosure’ and what we have to be cautious of i it does ever happen in an article published earlier this month, here.
It’s interesting that this topic is getting so much attention right now in the mainstream, especially with Hillary Clinton making her comments about it as of late (article on that linked above). That being said, as mentioned above, it’s important to recognize that we’ve been ‘bamboozled’ by the government and corporate media for so long, with so many different examples ranging from the war on terror to the war on drugs, that it’s hard to expect any type of honest revelation about what’s really going on. For anybody who has researched the topic of UFOs in depth, it’s quite clear that this issue goes well beyond government parameters. It appears, to me at least, that politicians are simply told what to say on most topics; they too have ‘bosses’ and those they take instruction from. So, keep that in mind when the government decides to disclose the ‘truth.’
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)(source)
Although the files (of which there are thousands) that have been made available for public viewing d0 contain some eye-opening details, most notably objects of unknown origin performing maneuvers and travelling at speeds no known aircraft can, they contain no hard evidence that states the objects are extraterrestrial in origin, but, there is, as former NASA astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor Brian O’leary puts it, “abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time.” (source)
If you’d like to see some of these files, you can read THIS article—it’s heavily sourced and includes a number of examples of what happens when the military tracks a UFO on radar. Yes, the military tracks UFOs on radar, and the objects are also confirmed by the pilots who are sent to take a closer look. Official pictures have also been released; here’s one of many examples in Canada. Not only are they tracked on radar, but they disrupt critical instrumentation and communications within our military jets.
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, also published a paper in the Journal of Scientific Explorationtitled “Estimates of Optical Power Output in Six Cases Of Unexplained Ariel Objects With Defined Luminosity Characteristics.” (source)(source) This also details other phenomenon associated with this craft.
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. — Former head of the CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source, NY Times)
What’s the point? The point is that UFOs have been confirmed as real by these previously classified files, as well as by hundreds of military personnel of every rank over the past few years. Some of the cases described in these files are truly amazing, and now that thousands of them have been officially declassified, the people involved in these incidents have no more fear of coming forward and sharing their stories.
For a quick 10 minute summary video to get you up to speed on the topic, you can watch THIS clip taken from a Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, given in front of several former U.S. congresspeople, by people from within the military realms, political realms, and the world of academia.
Before going into the story below, it’s important for readers to recognize the ‘seriousness’ of this issue and the concerns that people are having, and have had for years.
One of these people is a now retired Navy commander pilot Graham Bethune who held a top-secret clearance. He was a VIP Plane Commander who flew most of the high-ranking officers and civilians from Washington, DC. In his testimony below, he explains how he was flying a group of VIPs and other pilots into Argentia, Newfoundland, when every single person on the plane witnessed a 300 foot object that traveled 10,000 feet straight up in a fraction of a second toward their plane. As you can see from the video below, he has documented the event extensively.
Below are some very interesting quotes taken from the interview. The interview was conducted by Dr. Steven Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project, which has interviewed hundreds of military personnel of all ranks.
To access the official files pertaining to this particular case, you can visit the government’s ‘Project Bluebook’ files to read them. You can find those links and the files for this case at the National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomenon.
And I was flying at that time, Admiral McCormick who had relieved Eisenhower. Admiral McCormick was the NATO commander…(15:44) There was quite a few that knew about this so this is where I learned a lot that really was not official.
I do know that we did bring some of the craft back from Germany after World War II.
Then we knew that it was a friendly encounter, we knew it knew we were there, we knew it came out to see us. We watched it for a while.
Since then I’ve learned from the boys upstairs why we saw different colours as it was coming toward us. The colours were around the perimeter. And it turned from a yellow to an orange to almost a fiery red and then almost a purplish-red. And they said that that had to do with the amount of energy being used or dissipated. It had to do with the UFO power settings. When it slowed down, close to us, in a fraction of a second, it was back to the yellow range. And it was foggy around it or a plasma mist.
On the flight line where we parked our plane, most of the time, we weren’t too far from what looked like a hangar. Every time my boss and I went by there, he could not understand why I was not interested in going and looking at what was behind the metal wall…And he told basically that they had a craft back there and he told me basically that they did have bodies there…
The last quote you see above the video is one example of why the extraterrestrial hypothesis as an explanation for some of these UFOs existing. Sure, we have files that basically confirm the existence of UFOs, but the extraterrestrial part comes from stories like this one. Another example is former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer, who told the world that visitors from other planets have been coming here for years, and that global militaries are aware of this (source). The 6th man to walk on the Moon, the late Dr. Edgar Mitchell, told us that “yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered” and that he happens to be “privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.” (source)(source)(source)
The list literally goes on and on of why the extraterrestrial hypothesis exists, another great example comes from a school in Zimbabwe, where more than 60 school children witnessed a large craft landing and intelligent humanoids around it. You can read more details about that case here.
The evidence to examine the UFO topic, and the extraterrestrial hypothesis, is huge, and would take thousands of pages to present.
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. – Theodor C. Loder III, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire (source)
Again, to access the official files pertaining to this particular case, you can visit the government’s ‘Project Bluebook’ files to read them. You can find those links and the files for this case at theNational Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomenon.
This is a topic that will leave no aspect of humanity untouched. From science, history to technology and consciousness. This is a major paradigm shift moment for our species, and it’s only a matter of time.

New Study Achieves Breakthrough in Antimatter Research
New Study Achieves Breakthrough in Antimatter Research
Researchers from the international ALPHA Collaboration just published a paper that has been heralded as a “breakthrough in antimatter research.” Published in the journal, Nature, the outcome of research focus on the properties of antihydrogen. Through their work, the team has enhanced our measurements of the charge of this material by a factor of around 20. This lets us to better comprehend the nature of anitmatter, and the more precise measurements could eventually help us answer some of the most important questions plaguing modern physics. Case in point, one of the most longstanding questions in the study of antimatter (and physics in general) is based on the supposition that the Big Bang generated matter and antimatter in equal amounts. If this is certainly the case, and it appears that it is, then why is there presently so much more matter than antimatter in the cosmos? Where did all the antimatter go?”
Understanding Charges
According to our understanding of the rules of physics, every particle of matter should have an oppositely charged antiparticle with equal mass. But it appears that the “rules” may be slightly different than we expected. According to Dr. Andrea Capra, “we take the charge of matter and antimatter for granted, though, you cannot analyze data or make an experiment assuming it’s true.” To that end, if we want to understand what caused the loss of antimatter in our cosmos, then we need to have a firm understanding of the charge of antimatter. So, what do the new findings reveal? They don’t explain why there is so much missing antimatter, but they do help us better comprehend what didn’t cause the scales to tip in favor of matter.. “That means the electrical charge of antihydrogen – the antimatter analogue of hydrogen – can be ruled out as the answer to the antimatter question,” clarifies York University Professor Scott Menary, an ALPHA member.

Piece of the puzzle
However, we don’t have a final answer, the results do add a piece to the overall puzzle. Furthermore, this was just the first experiment that was performed using the upgraded “ALPHA-2” system, whose biggest component (the cooling cryostat) lent itself to the creation of the stable cryogenic environment that permitted for the higher trapping rate of the technology—and this first experiment was extraordinarily successful, giving us exactly the information that we hoped to gain. The success of this experiment now prompts the ALPHA Collaboration team to begin working on answer other antimatter questions. “We will now look at the other pieces of the puzzle, such as the color of the light discharged by antihydrogen, and test whether hydrogen and antihydrogen produce light in the same way,” says Capra. “We are also working on measuring the gravitational acceleration of antihydrogen and finding whether matter and antimatter have the same gravitational behavior. The next several years are going to be very exciting.” And hopefully, they will give us ideas regarding the final solution to the missing antimatter.
Mysterious Object is 570 Billion Times Brighter than the Sun
Mysterious Object is 570 Billion Times Brighter than the Sun
Billions of light years away, there is a huge ball of hot gas that is brighter than hundreds of billions of suns. It is hard to visualize something so bright. So what is it? Astrophysicists are not really sure, but they have a couple theories. They think it may be a very infrequent type of supernova — called a magnetar — but one so powerful that it pushes the energy limits of physics, or in other words, the most powerful supernova ever seen as of today. This object is so luminous that astrophysicists are having a really hard time finding a way to describe it. “If it truly is a magnetar, it's as if nature took everything we know about magnetars and turned it up to 11,” said Krzysztof Stanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State University and the team's co-principal investigator, comedically suggesting it is off the charts on a scale of 1 to 10.
The object was first detected by the All Sky Automated Survey of Supernovae (ASAS-SN or “assassin”), which is a small network of telescopes used to find bright objects in the cosmos. Although this object is extremely bright, it still can’t be observed by the naked eye as it is 3.8 billion light years away. ASAS-SN, since it started in 2014, has found nearly 250 supernovae, though this finding, ASASSN-15lh, stands out because of its sheer magnitude. It is 200 times more powerful than the average supernova, 570 billion times brighter than the sun, and 20 times brighter than all the stars in the Milky Way Galaxy combined. “We have to ask, how is that even possible?” said Stanek. “It takes a lot of energy to shine that bright, and that energy has to come from somewhere.”
Todd Thompson, professor of astronomy at Ohio State, has one probable explanation. The supernova could have produced a very rare type of star called a millisecond magnetar — a swiftly spinning and very dense star with a crazy strong magnetic field. This is how crazy magnetars are: to shine as bright as it does, this magnetar would have to spin at least 1,000 times a second, and change all of that rotational energy to light with almost much 100% efficiency — making it the most thrilling example of a magnetar that is physically possible.
“Given those constraints,” Thompson said, “will we ever see anything more luminous than this? If it truly is a magnetar, then the answer is basically no.” Over the coming months, the Hubble Space Telescope will try to solve this enigma by giving astrophysicists time to see the host galaxy surrounding this object. The team may find that this bright object lies in the very center of a large galaxy — meaning the object is not a magnetar at all — and the gas around it is actually evidence of a supermassive black hole. If that is the case, then the bright light could be explained by a new kind of event, said study co-author Christopher Kochanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State. It would be something that has never, ever been seen before at the center of a galaxy.
Whether it is a magnetar, a supermassive black hole, or something else entirely, the results are probably going to lead to new thinking about how objects form in the universe.
GROTE VLOOT RUIMTESCHEPEN PASSEERT DE AARDE ( VIDEO )
GROTE VLOOT RUIMTESCHEPEN PASSEERT DE AARDE ( VIDEO )
We leven in vreemde tijden, waarbij veel mensen voelen dat er dingen staan te gebeuren en waar de aarde zich op alle fronten roert.
Niet alleen gebeuren er op aarde opzienbarende dingen, het is ook heel druk in de ruimte.
Afgelopen weken schreven we regelmatig over vreemde voorgevoelens en/of dromen die mensen hebben over de toekomst en in één van die artikelen kwam het volgende voor:
Afgelopen maandag klonk er in de middag een keiharde knal. Ik schrok me echt een hoedje en mijn dieren eveneens. Ik liep naar buiten en meteen klonken er 2 korte harde knallen achter elkaar.
Het leek vanuit de lucht te komen. 's Avonds kreeg ik mijn overbuurman op visite en die vertelde over de knallen. Hij stond op dat moment met meerdere mensen op de parkeerplaats van een supermarkt en iedereen keek omhoog. Ik ben woonachtig te Friesland, nabij Heerenveen. Weten jullie of er meerderen zijn die deze knallen hebben gehoord die misschien weten wat het geweest zou kunnen zijn?
Dit werd uiteraard in de media afgedaan als vliegtuigen die door de geluidsbarrière gaan, maar daarop schrijft een lezer (dank!) het volgende:
Ik was ook maandag buiten met mn vrouw en kinderen, we waren net allemaal terug van de kinderen van school halen, en opeens, rond 15:45 in die buurt was het, misschien 5 minuten eerder, was er een doffe klap te horen, vervolgens begon er wat te trillen, toen was t even stil, met meteen erachteraan nog een GIGANTISCHE klap, met enorme trillingen tot gevolg.
De paniek sloeg wel toe bij ons allen, en wij vroegen ons onmiddellijk af: Aardbeving??? Aangezien wij in het aardbevingsgebied wonen, Siddeburen, Gemeente Slochteren, is dat geen rare gedachte.
Ik dacht meteen: Ik zal eens kijken of er meer mensen zijn die dit gehoord hebben, dus ik plaatste snel even wat op Facebook(dan is zo'n medium wel handig).
Toen ik kort erop in huis ging om eens te kijken op Facebook naar meerdere meldingen, zag ik dat er een reactie was die op twitter allerlei meldingen had binnengekregen in de omtrek van waar de knallen op dat moment gehoord waren.
Roden, Groningen, Westerbroek, Slochteren, Siddeburen, Noordbroek, dat was op dat moment al een groot gebied.
Al snel keek ik ook eens op twitter, en toen bleek dat de vliegbasis Volkel oefeningen zou hebben die dag. toen werd bekend dat er een vliegtuig (boeing 737-800) boven de Nederlandse/Duitse grens geen radioverbinding had, en dus moest er een QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) uitgevoerd worden door 2 F16's. Die zouden door de geluidsbarrière zijn gevlogen, en ze zouden het contact via gebaren met de piloot hersteld hebben.
ECHTER!!! ik heb mn sterke twijfels bij dit verhaal.
Wanneer er 2 F16's naar dezelfde plek moeten, en die gaan door de geluidsbarrière, hoe komt het dan dat de ene knal harder klinkt dan de andere?
De geluidssnelheidsgrens zal dan doorbroken worden, maar de knal blijft toch hetzelfde? De tweede knal was echt gigantisch.
Hoe kan je nou via gebaren(er was geen radiocontact), in een vliegtuig zorgen dat de ander weer verbinding krijgt? Dit is praktisch onmogelijk, want je vliegt met enkele honderden kilometers per uur, en je kan niet dicht op elkaar vliegen, want de gevolgen zouden catastrofaal zijn.
Wanneer je Vliegbasis Volkel vraagt om iets simpels als het vluchtnummer van het radioloze vliegtuig word er gewoon niet geantwoord, dat vind ik ook nogal raar.
Een oude vriendin van mij woont niet ver van de basis af, en die hoort altijd alle vliegtuigen die er overkomen, dus zeker een F16, en die heeft die middag geen F16 gezien, of gehoord.
Mijn conclusie is dus: Er waren geen F16's, er was geen Boeing 737-800 zonder radiocontact.
De mensen worden wederom met een simpel verhaal als bovenstaand afgescheept, en men gelooft het gewoon, want het klinkt geloofwaardig, en dan zie je het weer....Vergelijkingen met 9/11(vliegtuigen) je moet geen 2e 11 september willen....en al dat soort opmerkingen.
Er is iets gebeurd met die knallen wat niemand mag weten, en ik weet zeker dat een F16 die door een geluidsbarrière gaat, never nooit zo'n gigantische oppervlakte zal halen waar de knallen te horen waren. Ga uit van ongeveer heel Prov. Groningen, en een deel van Drenthe, en aangezien de lezer uit Friesland het gehoord heeft, dan weet je wel genoeg.
Mijn gevoel zegt dat er iets gevaarlijks aan de hand is, misschien wel iets met de pole-shift.
Leuk weetje nog: het was maandag 6 juni 2016, zet dat om in getallen: 06-06-16, en neem van alle 3 de laatste: 666, UITGEREKEND op die dag 2 knallen...Toeval??? Nee, geloof ik niks van.
Bovenstaand verhaal past ook weer bij een andere gebeurtenis die is vastgelegd door de inmiddels bekende Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1.
De man ziet via de SOHO ruimtetelescoop een enorme vloot UFO’s voorbij komen waarvan hij zegt:
“Ze vliegen in formaties van kleine groepen, wat er misschien op wijst dat het militaire schepen zijn. Ik heb teveel UFO-vloten gezien om niet te weten dat deze echt is”.
Ook een andere ufoloog, Scott Waring, is onder de indruk van de beelden en hij zegt ook duizenden beelden van de zon gezien te hebben via SOHO, maar nog nooit iets dergelijks.
Hij zegt dat het feit dat het hier een vloot betreft geen goed teken. Een vloot van dergelijke omvang die de aarde passeert is een teken dat er iets bijzonders aan de hand is.
Naar schatting bestaat de vloot uit zo’n 80 tot 100 schepen en de grote vraag is natuurlijk wat ze hier te zoeken hebben op dit moment.
Wordt er misschien dan inderdaad in de achtergrond een massale evacuatie van de aarde voorbereid?
VIDEO: Toont foto van Mars een schedel van een alien?
VIDEO: Toont foto van Mars een schedel van een alien?
Op een NASA-foto is een voorwerp op het Marsoppervlak te zien dat doet denken aan een schedel. De foto heeft de aandacht getrokken van het Amerikaanse nieuwsmagazine Inside Edition.
De afbeelding, die door Marsrover Curiosity naar de aarde is gestuurd, is het onderwerp van een video van een onderzoeksgroep waarin close-up beelden van het curieuze voorwerp op de planeet worden getoond.
Is het een schedel? En zo ja, van wie is de schedel? Of van wat? Paranormal Crucible schreef: “Vreemd artefact gevonden door de rover, lijkt op een grote schedel van een alien, kan het gaan om resten van een Sasquatch of een bizar Marswezen?”
Sinds augustus 2012, toen Curiosity landde op de rode planeet, komen er geregeld foto’s voorbij van vreemde dingen op Mars. Ze variëren van primitieve voorwerpen – zoals stukken metaal en vreemd gevormde stenen – tot kleine dieren en vrouwelijke figuren.
NASA was niet gelijk bereikbaar voor commentaar, aldus het magazine.
UFO Recorded By Google Car Mapping Argentina, June 12, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Recorded By Google Car Mapping Argentina, June 12, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: June 12, 2016 Location of discovery: El Cholar, Argentina Google coordinates:37°26'35.60"S 70°39'13.09"W
This was sent into me yesterday by a reader of UFO Sightings Daily. He said he found a an object on Google Earth in Argentina that he wanted me to take a look at, because it had a disk shape. When I checked out the coordinates he gave me, I found that the UFO was visible 4 times. The first three times its seen far away, but still a disk shape...tilted. The fourth and final time its extremely close and tilted again. Its also tilted, which is what Bob Lazar (Area S4 scientist) says that disks need to do to move from place to place. It also has an antenna sticking out of it, this shows us the direction its moving, the antenna seems to be bent the opposite way. Purpose may be for magnetic energy waves it harness to hover. This is a very old and secluded area. I see brick buildings that were made in the 1800s nearby, with very few farms ever few miles. This is the perfect location of UFOs to do research on humans or other creatures and not be noticed. Absolute proof of UFOs existing and aliens observing humans from a distance. Scott C.

Scary black ring UFO above Disneyland, Families Panic, April 27, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 27, 2016 Location of sighting: Disney Land, California, USA Ring UFOs are super rare, but they have been seen a lot. This UFO is over Disney Land and causes the family to worry about an alien invasion. However since this is over a theme park, its possible that one of the rides may have caused it. For Instance, there is a World of Color Celebrate show in Disney California Adventure. During the Star Wars and Finale unit there a flamethrower that shoots up to 150 feet which caused a huge smoke fire ring effect in the air. It also could have been a transformer blowing out. However, such UFOs have been recorded by the US Army back in 1957 during the Ft Belvoir case. Click to view. No way to be certain either way, but awesome the object was caught on video, which shows its moment. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: No idea what this could be... Walking up main Street at Disneyland, following the parade. Everyone around me starts looking up and pointing at this daunting black ring floating methodically above us. It was a windy night, couldn't have been a smoke ring. Everyone watched it in fear/confusion. I half expected an alien portal to open up through this ring as we were gazing up in disbelief... The strangest thing I've ever seen. I yanked my phone out to record as soon as I saw this thing, then immediately uploaded to YouTube. This is raw footage, apologize for shakiness.
