Glowing UFO Over Newcastle, England On July 26, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: July 26, 2016
Location of sighting: Newcastle, England
Maker of video: Thirdphaseofmoon

This is a great video by Third Phase of Moon of Youtube. It shows a glowing triangular UFO with a cloud cloak surrounding it. This was seen at Newcastle during the sunset, which is the most common time to see UFOs. The setting sun hits the UFO at just the right angle, causing the UFO to become visible for between 45 seconds to 15 minutes. I do believe the time is a mistake that was reported as 2:20...it does look later...I'm thinking sunset time. The glowing orange is actually caused not by the UFO itself, but by the setting sun hitting it.

Quote From Cat Roberts "Hey! I caught this video the other day. I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne, around 2:20 pm. Never seen anything like it. It was a lot bigger to see in person, it was very unusual and I haven't seen anything like that before. I had food shopping with me at the time, I stopped recording to put the food in the freezer and went back out. It was still there but it quickly disappeared like it sucked in on itself. "

UFO Over Las Vegas Said To Be Chinese Rocket Reentry, Can We Believe The Gov? July 27, 2016, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: July 27, 2016
Location of sighting:  Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

I noticed that the world news is trying hard to make the public believe that what was seen over Las Vegas was just a Chinese rocket, but I find that extremely hard to believe. Why? Because most rockets and satellites often have devices to help power the long term flight of such craft...these batteries are often nuclear. If the rocket was carrying a Chinese satellite in it as it fell, America would be in panic over the nuclear fall out of all the hazardous material, but America doesn't seem to care. Also if it was a rocket, it could be a nuclear rocket test to see if a Chinese Nuke would make it to America and how to prevent it from being shot down by pretending its just a failed space mission. If this was true, then there is a conspiracy within the conspiracy. 

Also with a tall whites alien base a Nellis AFB, this is very possible a tall white ship coming it to land at its base, which is located at the end of the old rifle range at Nellis AFB. 


America seemed to take no precautions,which means this was not a rocket, but a UFO of unknown origin. This UFO was seen all across Nevada this week, many of the eyewitnesses swearing it was a UFO. So...who are you going to believe?

YouTube Channel Features “Leaked” Video From NASA Showing UFO in Jupiter’s Orbit

A YouTube video entice a lot of viewers with its claim that it shows leaked footage from the NASA Juno probe. The footage, which supposedly a secret, shows a mysterious UFO orbiting Jupiter.
NASA probe apparently recorded the footage that is featured in the viral video, which has been viewed nearly 200,000 times.

In the description of the YouTube clip, it says that the Juno captured a strange UFO floating over the giant red spot for a few minutes before leaving in deep space.

Last February 2016, a man claimed to have spotted a massive structure moving in the direction of Europa, one of the largest moons of Jupiter. Some UFO hunters believe that the enormous structure, which resembles an interstellar mothership or the so-called intergalactic ship, has something to do with space aliens.

There has been a lot of research about the likelihood of alien life existence in the vast oceans under its icy surface. The probability increases speculations that aliens are hiding behind Jupiter.
However, for alien followers/enthusiasts who want to find a real UFO video recorded in deep space, this is probably not the case.

YouTube channel Section 51 2.0 is known to make hoax videos. Many people think that the video sharing channel has done several clips using CGI animation. It also suspiciously blocks comments on most of its videos.

Real UFO investigators hate hoax videos as they can damage the credibility of genuine research. Section 51 2.0 is also being accused of only after the funds on advertising revenue from thousands of viewers in its videos.

Contacting Section 51 2.0 to get their reactions on the allegations towards them has failed.

The Spacecraft Designs of Arthur C. Clarke (Space.com Exclusive)

Science-fiction author Stephen Baxter co-wrote the "A Time Odyssey" series of books with Arthur C. Clarke, author of "2001: A Space Odyssey." More recently, Baxter teamed up with author Alastair Reynolds to write "The Medusa Chronicles" (Saga Press, 2016) which expands on a short story Clarke wrote in 1971.

Baxter was inspired to write this piece for Space.com after he drew heavily from Clarke's spaceship designs for that work; in the pages of fiction and in the real world, Clarke "was a postwar visionary regarding possible spacecraft designs and purposes," Baxter told Space.com. 

It's the year 2099. What do spaceships look like? The great science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke had some pretty visionary — yet surprisingly realistic — ideas.

Credit: Saga Press

"The Medusa Chronicles," a book I co-authored with Alastair Reynolds, is a sequel to Clarke's 1971 novella "A Meeting with Medusa," a saga of the exploration of space (and, specifically, of Jupiter). In the course of drafting the book, we had a lot of fun with speculative spacecraft designs, drawing heavily on Clarke's wider work. 

Thus, in the year 2099, our hero Howard Falcon flies "Discovery"-class, interplanetary, fusion-propelled ships — a nod to Clarke's "2001" series (1968 onward). And by 2284, he uses more advanced "Goliath"-class ships — a reference to "The Hammer of God" (1993), as well as an homage to later entries in the "2001" series. [Gallery: Visions of Interstellar Starship Travel]

Clarke was a real-world spaceflight visionary, but he never forgot his boyhood science-fiction dreams. And that background is reflected in his fiction.

Born in 1917, Clarke had grown up with gaudy and mostly impractical pulp-era visions of spaceflight. But as a young man, working with early space-advocacy bodies such as the British Interplanetary Society (BIS), he contributed to speculative but realistic designs of craft capable of interplanetary travel, as documented in his highly readable nonfiction survey "Interplanetary Flight" (1950) as well as in his fiction. 

Thus, Clarke's 1951 novel "The Sands of Mars" featured what may have been the first reasonably realistic fictional depiction of a spacecraft powered by a fusion rocket. Earlier writers, such as Olaf Stapledon, had vaguely described spaceflight using nuclear energy, but Clarke gave precise numbers for his spaceliner Ares, which he described as flying in the 1990s, capable of a 100-day trip to Mars. 

Ares is a luxurious passenger liner that includes a dining hall measuring about 400 feet (120 meters) across. The design is a dumbbell — similar to the later Discovery of "2001" (1968). There is a main sphere with a radius of about 200 feet (60 m) containing passenger cabins and a lower hemisphere that's "almost entirely fuel." A 330-foot (100 m) strut connects the main sphere to the smaller engine sphere. Ares is an "atomic rocket," and specifically fusion-driven: "The forces that powered the stars themselves were being unleashed," clarke wrote. And the dumbbell design is logical, with the inhabited sections positioned as far as possible from the leaked radiation of the engine.

Where Clarke gives specific numbers, they are sensible. To drive the ship out of high Earth orbit, the engines of Ares burn for 11 hours at 5 percent the acceleration of Earth's gravity, and then Ares coasts for 100 days to Mars and decelerates. You can work out that after such a journey, 1.1 astronomical units (AU) would have been traveled — a reasonable distance for an Earth-Mars flight. (One AU is the average distance from the Earth to the sun — 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.) Clarke doesn't give a specific mass breakdown, but a reasonable estimate is that the engine's exhaust velocity would be several hundred kilometers per second. That's well within the anticipated performance of fusion engines; the uncrewed starship of the BIS'Daedalus design had an exhaust velocity of 9,000 km/s (5,600 miles per second). Clarke's spacecraft always had reasonable and consistent designs — a lesson for any budding hard-sci-fi writer. 

But, with time, those designs evolved.

Aerospace: Designing a Spaceship for Everyone

https://youtu.be/qbzSmX9hzVk

While we worked on "Medusa," I took the chance to re-read the four books of the Odyssey series: "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968); "2010: Odyssey Two" (1982); "2061: Odyssey Three" (1987); and "3001: The Final Odyssey" (1997). And I was very struck by how Clarke's visions of spacecraft developed over the course of those books. 

Although the movie "2001" was first screened the same year Apollo 8 circled the moon, its vision was a sort of summary of older dreams of spaceflight — including Clarke's own. The space clippers and great rotating space wheels were straight out of a blueprint that German aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun had been developing for NASA since the 1950s, while the beautiful, elegant Discovery is a classic Clarke dumbbell shape.

But by the time "2010" was published in 1982, the last Apollo mission was already 10 years in the past, and the space shuttle had just begun flying; we had learned what space is really like. In the story, a new spacecraft, called Leonov, goes to Jupiter to retrieve the lost Discovery. The contrast between the old and new spacecraft is very striking — visually so in the movie. Leonov is an expression of the reality of spaceflight as it had been experienced: It is cramped, uncomfortable, squat and ugly — and there's certainly no gravity-inducing carousel. When the two spacecraft dock, it's a collision of post-Apollo reality with pre-Apollo dreams, as if two universes were overlapping. [Arthur C. Clarke: Luminaries Pay Tribute]

But by "3001," thanks to the advanced-physics "inertial drive," more extravagant spacecraft designs became possible. With a craft that can travel at several thousand kilometers per second, even the very sparse interplanetary dust is a significant hazard, and streamlining and shielding are necessary. And so the old pulp-magazine fantasies of Clarke's boyhood are back, as Clarke says explicitly through a character in the novel. As reincarnated "2001" astronaut Frank Poole puts it, "Do you know what Goliath reminds me of? … When I was a boy, I came across a whole pile of old science-fiction magazines that my Uncle George had abandoned — 'pulps', they were called … They had wonderful garish covers, showing strange planets and monsters — and of course, spaceships! As I grew older, I realised how ridiculous those spaceships were. They were usually rocket-driven — but there was never any sign of propellant tanks! Some of them had rows of windows from stem to stern, just like ocean liners. There was one favourite of mine with a huge glass dome — a space-going conservatory … Well, those old artists had the last laugh … Goliath looks more like their dreams than the flying fuel-tanks we used to launch from the Cape."

Though the "2001" books were obviously written within the span of a single lifetime, they date from different epochs. There is an immense gulf especially between the first two books. As Clarke noted in his foreword to "2010," "2001" was written in an age that now lies beyond one of the Great Divides in human history; we are sundered from it forever by the moment when Neil Armstrongset foot upon the Moon [in 1969]." But Clarke's visionary work — as refined and updated by such studies as the BIS' current fusion-ship study Project Icarus — still stands as a bridge between the fantastic dreams of the past and the practicalities of the future.

Asteroid Defense: Scanning the Sky for Threats From Space

Earth is hit every day by small bits of space dust. Slightly larger chunks burn up colorfully in the atmosphere, causing the shooting stars you see in the sky. Occasionally even bigger rocks hit our atmosphere; they are known as fireballs, because the light from them burning up is particularly bright. These tend to smack the Earth a few times a year and may produce a few fragments for rock-hunters to find.

NASA and other organizations do regular scans of the sky to catalog any small bodies that are at risk of crashing into our planet. No imminently threatening bodies have been found yet, but it's clear that sooner or later Earth will be struck by something big. The organizations are actively researching the best ways to protect Earth from asteroids, meteoroids or comets that may come crashing down 

Asteroids refer principally to small, rocky bodies. Comets contain more ice and can also pose a threat to Earth. Before fragments enter our atmosphere, they are known as meteroids. During their path in the atmosphere, they are called meteors. If any of these pieces reach the ground, those pieces are called meteorites. The best hunting ground on Earth for meteorites is Antarctica because the ice makes it so easy to see the fragments, and the ground is not disturbed as much as a typical urban area or forest.

The difference between a meteroid and an asteroid is a little vague. In 1961, The International Astronomical Union (the official body for naming objects in space) said a meteroid is much smaller than an asteroid, but bigger than an atom. A 2010 Meteoritics and Planetary Science paper led by Alan Rubin, a geophysicist at the University of California, Los Angeles, suggested that the limit for meteoroids be about 1 meter in size.

Characterizing the threat

It is clear that even small bodies can pose a threat; the asteroid that broke up over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in 2013 was roughly 56 feet (17 meters) across, shattering glass and injuring hundreds of people. In 1908, an estimated 130-foot (40-meter) object exploded over Siberia and flattened trees over 825 square miles (2,137 square kilometers). Around 50,000 years ago, before human civilization began, a rock about 150 feet wide (46 meters) smacked into what is now called Arizona. It left behind Meteor Crater, which is roughly 0.7 miles (1.2 kilometers) wide today. 

Even bigger collisions happened far in the past. The dinosaurs were wiped out 66 million years ago by an object about 6 miles (10 km) wide, which left behind a 110-mile (180 km) crater in Mexico known as Chicxulub. But that's nothing compared to evidence of another impactor found in 2014. A rock formation in our planet's crust pointed to a possible impactor 23 to 36 miles (37 to 58 kilometers) across that smacked into Earth 3.26 billion years ago, just a few million years after life evolved.

NASA began tracking near-Earth objects (NEOs) in the 1970s. Its goal is to find objects that are at least tens of meters in size, “which could cause significant harm to populated areas on the Earth if they were to strike without warning,” NASA stated in 2014.

Congress directed NASA in 1994 to find at least 90 percent of potentially hazardous NEOs larger than 0.62 miles (1 kilometer) in diameter, which NASA fulfilled in 2010. Congress also asked NASA in 2005 to find at least 90 percent of potentially hazardous NEOs that are 460 feet (140 meters) in size or larger. That's supposed to be finished by 2020. NASA created a Planetary Defense Coordination Office in 2014 — a year after Chelyabinsk — to better coordinate its efforts, in response to an Office of the Inspector General report. Other space agencies such as the European Space Agency also have their own offices, and the different nations regularly collaborate with each other.

Scanning the sky

NASA works with several sky surveys to maintain a list of potentially hazardous objects. These include the Catalina Sky Survey (University of Arizona), Pan-STARRS (University of Hawaii), Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research or LINEAR (Massachussetts Institute of Technology) and Spacewatch (University of Arizona). These observatories are constantly upgrading their capabilities to try to catch fainter asteroids. 

Asteroids are also observed from space by several telescopes, but the one most regularly used for NEO searches is called NEOWISE. It's the new mission of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope, which launched in 2009 and was revived from hibernation in 2013 to search for asteroids. The telescope is expected to keep operating until 2017, when the angle from the sun in its orbit will be too bright to search for asteroids. A follow-up mission called Near Earth Object Camera (NEOCam) has been proposed for 2021, but is competing against five other missions for funding. Mission selection will be announced in September 2016.

There are other NASA missions that are looking to get up close to asteroids to better characterize their composition. Some recent examples: The Dawn mission visited asteroid Vesta between 2011 and 2012, and has now been at Ceres (a dwarf planet) since 2015. OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer) is expected to depart for asteroid Bennu in 2018 for a sample-return mission, which will come back to Earth in 2023. Additionally, NASA uses data available from other space agency missions that visited asteroids, such as the Japanese Hayabusa (completed) and Hayabusa 2 (in progress).

Some planned missions will take even more daring steps at asteroids. NASA has been working on concepts for an Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) that would have a robot move a small body into the moon's orbit, for astronauts to study. Also: NASA, the European Space Agency and other partners are planning a mission called AIDA, or Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment. The goal is to change the path of a small moon orbiting the asteroid Didymos using a kinetic impactor.

A kinetic impactor (perhaps with a nuclear bomb inside) would deflect the orbit, tugging the asteroid slowly using a spacecraft, redirecting it with solar heat, or blasting it with a laser. That is just one idea. There is ongoing research as to what sort of asteroid deflection technique would be best. The best approach depends on many factors, such as cost, the composition of the asteroid, time to impact and technology maturity. Studies are ongoing in these fields; in 2007, NASA said that non-nuclear kinetic impactors had the most mature technology.

What Is the Biggest Thing in the Universe?

In space, we're used to dealing with large distances and objects. In the cosmic scheme of things, Earth is rather small. Even in our solar system, we are easily dwarfed by the planet Jupiter (more than 1,000 Earths would fit in the planet, according to NASA) and our sun (more than a million Earths would fit in there, according to Cornell University).

Even our sun looks puny when it is compared to the biggest stars we know of. The sun is a G-type star, a yellow dwarf — pretty average-size on the cosmic scale. But some “hypergiant” stars are much, much larger. Perhaps the biggest star known is UY Scuti, which could fit more than 1,700 of our suns. It is only about 30 times more massive, however, so that shows that mass and size don't necessarily correlate in space.

Progressing up the list of big cosmic objects, other things to consider are black holes and in particular, supermassive black holes that typically reside in the center of a galaxy. (Our Milky Way hosts one that is about 4 million times the mass of the sun.) The biggest supermassive black hole is roughly 21 billion times the sun's mass, and lives in the Coma Cluster, which includes more than 1,000 galaxies.

As the last paragraph hints, there are things out there bigger than even supermassive black holes. Galaxies are collections of star systems and all that is inside those systems (such as planets, stars, asteroids, comets, dwarf planets, gas, dust and more). Our own Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across, NASA says; a light-year is the distance light travels in a year. It's difficult to characterize what the largest galaxies are, because they don't really have precise boundaries, but the largest galaxies we know of are millions of light-years across.

Now at last we are starting to approach the biggest structures in the universe. Galaxies are often bound to each other gravitationally in groups that are called galaxy clusters. (The Milky Way, for example, is part of the small Local Group that comprises about two dozen galaxies, including the Andromeda Galaxy.) At first glance, astronomers thought that these structures were the biggest thing out there. In the 1980s, however, astronomers realized that groups of galaxy clusters are also connected by gravity and connected in a supercluster.

What is the biggest supercluster?

The biggest supercluster known in the universe is the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall. It was first reported in 2013 and has been studied several times by teams led by the same person. It's so big that light takes about 10 billion years to move across the structure. For perspective, the universe is only 13.7 billion years old.

The structure first came to light as the research team (led by Istvan Horvath, with the National University of Public Service in Hungary) was looking at brief cosmic phenomena known as gamma-ray bursts. It is thought that they come from supernovas, or massive stars that explode at the end of their lifetimes.

Gamma-ray bursts are thought to be a good indication of where huge masses of stuff lie in the universe, because big stars tend to congregate in dense areas. The first survey showed gamma rays particularly concentrated about 10 billion light-years away in the direction of the Hercules and Corona Borealis constellations.

But it's a puzzle as to just how that big structure actually came to be. A 2013 article from Discovery News (a partner site to Space.com) pointed out that this structure appeared to go against a principle of cosmology, or how the universe formed and evolved. Specifically, this principle says that matter should be uniform when seen at a large enough scale. The cluster, however, is not uniform.

“I would have thought this structure was too big to exist. Even as a coauthor, I still have my doubts,” Jon Hakkila, an astronomy researcher at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, said in a 2014 press release. He said there is a very small chance the researchers saw a random number of gamma-rays in that location, but it is far less than one in 100.

“Thus we believe that the structure exists,” he added. “There are other structures that appear to violate universal homogeneity: the Sloan Great Wall and the Huge Large Quasar Group ... are two. Thus, there may very well be others, and some could indeed be bigger. Only time will tell.”

Physicists Just Observed a Brand-New State of Matter Where We Thought It Was Impossible

 

Robert Couse-Baker/Flickr

IN BRIEF

Physicists assert that they have observed quantum spin liquid state again; however, this time, they have done so in a material where it was thought to be impossible. If verified, it could transform how we understand quantum computing.

Back in April, the physics world freaked out when scientists confirmed that they’d made the first direct observation of a brand-new state of matter – known as quantum spin liquid – for the first time.

But now a team of physicists has just announced that they’ve observed quantum spin liquid state again… and this time in a material where it should be impossible.

The discovery could change our understanding of how to make quantum computing work.

“We have proved empirically that interesting quantum states like spin liquids can also occur in considerably more complex crystals with different constellations of magnetic interactions,”said lead researcher Christian Balz, from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) in Germany.

“This could be important for the advancement of quantum computers in the future because spin liquids are one of the possible building blocks for carrying the smallest unit of quantum information, known as a qubit,” added one of the senior researchers Bella Lake.

Let’s back up a second, because all this isn’t as confusing as it sounds.

WHAT IS QUANTUM SPIN?

Spin in the quantum world doesn’t actually mean an electron is physically spinning. It refers to a type of intrinsic angular momentum that simply describes how an electron is behaving. In quantum computing we often simplify this by saying the spin state is down, up, or in superposition (both at the same time).

Quantum spin liquid is a state of matter that, very simply, occurs when the spin of electrons continue to fluctuate in a fluid manner even at very low temperatures, when they should be frozen in place.

It’s like atoms inside regular materials. When they’re in a fluid state, they’re moving freely. But when temperatures drop, they’ll freeze in place in a solid arrangement. That should happen with spin orientation in magnetic materials, but in quantum spin liquid state, it doesn’t.

Even though it was predicted in 1973, the new state of matter was only observed for the first time this year, in a two-dimensional, graphene-like material.

That discovery made a lot of sense, because the material fit our understanding of how spin liquid state arises.

Basically, the criteria is that a material has to have has anti-ferromagnetic – or antiparallel – interactions, which, as the name suggests, is the opposite to ferromagnetic interactions in materials such as iron and nickel.

It means that if one electron has a ‘down’ spin, the one next to it has to have an ‘up’ spin, and so on.

Anti-ferromagnetic materials on their own don’t necessarily enter quantum spin liquid state, unless they also happen to have a triangular atomic arrangement, which makes this alignment impossible.

So, just imagine three atoms at the corner of a triangle – they’re never all going to be in parallel alignments because as soon as one changes to match the one to its right, the one on its left will have to change, and so on and so on. They’ll keep flipping their alignment even at absolute zero temperature – hence, quantum spin liquid state.

But the new research suggests that our criteria isn’t quite right, because the German team were able to observe the new state of matter occurring in a material that doesn’t fit that profile.

THE IMPOSSIBLE SPIN?

The material in question is a monocrystal of calcium chromium oxide (Ca10Cr7O28).

Calcium-chromium oxide is made up of what are known as Kagomé lattices – named after the pattern of triangles and hexagons woven in Japanese baskets.

Basically that means the material has a complex mix of anti-ferromagnetic interactions, but also much stronger ferromagnetic interactions, which, according to conventional understanding, should prevent quantum spin liquid behaviour.

But through a range of scattering and spectrometry experiments in Germany, France, England, Switzerland, and the US, the team was able to show that this wasn’t the case – quantum spin liquid state was happening even at temperatures as low as 20 millikelvin (around –273 degrees Celsius).

So what’s going on here? Fortunately, the team has already come up with a hypothesis to explain why this material could behave like a quantum spin liquid without breaking our conventional understanding of the state of matter.

Using numerical simulations, they’ve shown that competition is the key to the strange behaviour – different magnetic interactions in the materials are competing with each other, and keeping the spins flip-flopping around.

You can see that happening in the illustration below, which shows the competing interactions on each atom (the grey and black balls). The green and red sticks represent ferromagnetic interactions, while the blue sticks represent anti-ferromagnetic interactions, which are forcing the spins to keep changing.

“The work expands our understanding of magnetic materials, and also shows us that there are potentially far more candidates for spin liquids than expected,”said Lake.

The research has been published in Nature Physics, and now needs to be verified by other teams before we say for sure that quantum spin liquid state can exist in these new types of materials.

But it’s a pretty exciting study that hugely widens the potential pool of materials that we could use in future to build quantum computers.

We can’t wait to find out more.

Lake Champlain boater describes UFO emitting objects to ground level

A Vermont witness at Lake Champlain reported watching a cigar-shaped UFO that appeared to drop “three or four unknown orbs” that fell to the ground level, according to testimony in Case 77749 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness first saw the cigar-shaped object slowly crossing the sky over Shelburne Bay, pictured.

The witness was on his boat in Lake Champlain in the middle of Shelburne Bay at 4 p.m. on July 10, 2016, when the incident occurred.

“I looked up and saw the unknown object slowly flying across the sky,” the witness stated.“I called the attention of my sister and father who joined me in observing the object.”

As the group watched, the object emitted several smaller objects.

“I observed it drop about three or four unknown orbs which fell to the ground out of sight from where we were.”

The hovering object then remained in place for a short time.

“The object then hovered in the same spot for about 20 minutes before it disappeared. I recall the object being white and the orbs it dropped also being white. However, my sister recalls the object and the orbs being black. My father thought it was a blimp and was quick to brush off the thought of a UFO. We saw the unknown craft again hovering over a spot closer to us when we traveled north into Burlington Bay. The craft quickly vanished again after that.”

20 VRAGEN OM VAST TE STELLEN OF JE BUITENAARDS BENT

Er lopen regelmatig mensen rond op deze planeet die hoewel ze misschien geboren zijn in een klein boerengehucht toch zeggen afkomstig te zijn van een andere planeet. 

Deze mensen weten dat en voor al diegenen die dit ook graag zouden willen weten, volgt hier een test om uit te vinden of ook jij misschien buitenaards bent. 

Onderzoeker en auteur Scott Mandelker houdt zich al lang bezig met onderzoek onder mensen die zeggen dat ze van buiten de aarde komen. Zo heeft hij een boek geschreven met de titel From Elsewhere, waarin de levens van 25 verschillende mensen onder de loep worden genomen en wordt beschreven hoe ze tot het besef zijn gekomen dat ze niet van deze aarde zijn. 

Scott is dan ook bij uitstek geschikt om te bepalen of je wel of niet van deze aarde bent. Om dat vast te kunnen stellen, heeft hij een lijst gemaakt met 20 verschillende vragen die hieronder volgen. 

Voor iedere vraag die je met “ja” kunt beantwoorden geef je jezelf vijf punten. Voor iedere vraag die je beantwoord met “ zo ongeveer” of “een beetje” geef je jezelf drie punten. De resultaten zijn onderaan de lijst te zien. 

Je jeugd

1) Dacht je veel na of was je vaak aan het dagdromen of fantaseren over ET’s, UFO’s en andere werelden? 

2) Had je het gevoel dat gewone dingen om je heen enigszins vreemd waren, zoals het menselijk lichaam, de kleur van de hemel, bomen en de natuur, menselijke architectuur en volwassenen? 

3) Had je ooit het gevoel dat je ouders niet je echte ouders waren? Dat er een broertje of zusje was die je miste? Of een huis ergens ver weg? 

4) Had je magische dromen waarin je kon vliegen, onzichtbare vriendjes had of het gevoel dat je werd geleid of bescherming had? 

5) Keek je ’s nachts verlangend op naar de hemel, waarbij je dan zei: “Breng mij naar huis”. “Waarom ben ik hier?” of “Waarom ben ik zo eenzaam?”. 

Je persoonlijkheid 

6) Ben je aardig, zachtaardig, vredelievend en niet agressief? Niet alleen maar soms, maar bijna altijd? 

7) Voel je je gekwetst, verdrietig en verward door al het menselijk kwaad en wreedheid in deze wereld? 

8) Heb je het gevoel dat geld, bezittingen en een succesvolle carrière niet zo erg belangrijk zijn? 

9) Voel je je soms meer op je gemak bij planten en dieren dan bij mensen? 

10) Ben je over het algemeen gevoelig, meelevend, vrijgevig en bezorgd over de mensen in je directe omgeving? 

Je ervaringen 

11) Heb je je ooit anders gevoeld; dat je hier niet thuis hoort of dat je in het dagelijks leven eigenlijk een soort vreemde bent in de maatschappij? 

12) Heb je wel eens dromen gehad, visioenen of beelden gezien van UFO’s, waardoor je een echte spirituele groei hebt doorgemaakt? 

13) Heb je wel eens dramatische dromen gehad over aardveranderingen, zowel geologische alsook grote sociale onrust? Zoals het einde van de wereld of een toekomstige beschaving? 

14) Ben jij een logisch denkend, wetenschappelijk, niet emotioneel iemand en ben je een beetje verward door hete passie en verlangen? 

15) Heb je ooit een duidelijk en inspirerend contact gehad met een goedaardig, vriendelijke en hoog ontwikkelde ET's? 

Je belangstelling

16) Ben je geïnteresseerd in sciencefiction, indrukwekkende fantasieën, engelen, hoogwaardige technologie en profetieën/voorspellingen die gaan over de wereld? 

17) Ben jij geïnteresseerd in Atlantis, Lemurië, channeling, piramiden, New Age theorieën en UFO’s? 

18) Ben jij geïnteresseerd in meditatie, alternatieve geneeswijzen of het brengen van licht en liefde in de wereld? 

19) Denk jij dat de menselijke maatschappij onwetend is voor wat betreft spirituele waarheden waarvan jij weet dat ze waar zijn? 

20) Heb je een sterk gevoel dat je een bepaald doel hebt en dat het je missie is om de aarde en de mensheid te helpen? 

Resultaat

Als het aantal punten dat je hebt gescoord ligt, 

Tussen de 75-100 punten: 

Ik denk dat je absoluut een ET ziel bent, maar misschien verbaast je dat helemaal niet.

Tussen de 25-75 punten: 

Je zou wel of niet iemand kunnen zijn vanuit een andere wereld, maar je hebt meer zelfreflectie nodig om dat te kunnen bepalen. 

Tussen de 0-25 punten: 

Je bent hoogstwaarschijnlijk geen buitenaardse ziel, maar waarom ben je dan toch geïnteresseerd in dit soort zaken?

UFO Armada Passes Over Small Town In Mexico On Live Cam, July 27, 2016, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: July 27, 2016
Location of sighting: Tequisquiapan, Mexico

http://webcamsdemexico.net/tequisquiapan1/2016-07-27/0736.jpg

We have heard about the fleet of UFOs frequently seen passing over the cities of Mexico a few years ago. It seems that it has never stopped. Here I see a fleet of black UFOs moving past a church and continuing to hover slowly away. Each photos is 2 minutes apart and I got 19 photos from the cam. That means this sightings started at 07:16:03 in the morning and it ended at 7:54:03. Thats a UFO fleet taking 38 minutes to pass over the city, but since it happened so early in the morning, few if any people probably saw it. 

I put the photos together and made a gif of it to make it easier to see below. The objects are round, dark and slow. They have no wings at all, and trade exceptionally slow at times, which rules out birds. Even with a bright sunrise on the other side of them, no light travels through them...this is evidence that they are not transparent...they have a hard solid surface that is not thin...which rules out balloons. 

This is one of the legendary UFO fleets over Mexico.

UFO Buzzes Passanger Jet Over Trujillo, Peru On July 22, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: July 22, 2016
Location of sighting: Trujillo, Peru

A person in Trujillo, Peru captured some amazing footage of a UFO close to a passenger jet last week. The glowing object passes near the plane and then moves on a a high rate of speed. This should be an important video for the FAA since this object could have hit the plane and caused it to crash. I don't think that the planes radar even saw it, which goes to show that todays radar technology is basically the same as its been for the last 60 years.

NEW Ancient Aliens: The Prototypes S11E10

Ancient Aliens – The Prototypes
History Channel, Season 11, Episode 10
22nd July 2016

Recent archaeological discoveries reveal a very different picture of what life on Earth looked like in the remote past. It was a real-life version of “Lord of the Rings,” where humans shared the planet with various different types of intelligent human-like species, such as Neanderthals, Denisovans, and even hobbits. But how is it that these various hominid species developed separately in isolated pockets of the globe? And why does no fossil evidence exist suggesting a slow gradual delineation from a common species? Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest these different intelligent species seem to have come straight out of the incubator, and that Earth itself may have served as an extraterrestrial laboratory. A laboratory where different human prototypes once existed–but only one species was chosen to survive. Is mankind the result of an extraterrestrial experiment?

NASA Livestream Reveals Codename For UFOs, Conspiracy Theorists Claim

Rumors are flying around the internet as an alleged nervous astronaut may have revealed NASA’s secret code word for a UFO unintentionally in a recent recording from the International Space Station.

According to the viewers of the video recording, it includes some fishy references to the gospel, a word that many think out of the ordinary for astronaut chatter.

“On a personal level I look forward to this partnership with the gospel, really around the world,” the astronaut can be heard saying, likely from the voice of Commander Jeff Williams.

Some UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists claim that the word ‘gospel’ could be the code word for aliens, and the astronaut was about to meet some space aliens 250 miles above Earth.

A mysterious dot of light can be seen on the video footage. They say that it is the UFO the astronauts were referring and discussing.

However, hoax-buster Scott Brando, who runs a UFO website, says it is nothing more than a lens flare or light reflection.

He exposes the light source reflection using a separate still from the live stream. He says the sunlight hitting a panel on the ISS causes the light reflection. He further explains that the light refracts inside the camera lens, and the anomaly is then exposed to the projected images.

But the mystery remains as to the possible reasons of the astronaut on speaking about the gospel.

2 'Nearby' Exoplanets Confirmed to Be Rocky — and May Be Habitable

NASA Discovers TWO NEW Planetary Systems. Most Earth Like Habitable Planets.

https://youtu.be/O27uMuXaoV4

Two Earth-size planets orbiting a nearby star are now confirmed to be rocky, strengthening the case that they might be habitable, a new study finds.

The atmospheres of these worlds may range from vanishingly thin, like that of Mars, to hellishly dense, like Venus' air — and, possibly, comfortably in between, like Earth's, the researchers said.

In May, astronomers reported the discovery of three Earth-size planetsorbiting a dim, cold, red star named TRAPPIST-1. This "ultracool dwarf" is located in the constellation Aquarius, about 39 light-years from Earth. (For comparison, Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system to our own, is about 4.3 light-years from Earth.) [10 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life]

Previous research found that TRAPPIST-1 is 2,000 times dimmer than the sun, a bit less than half as warm as the sun, about one-twelfth the sun's mass, and less than one-eighth the sun's width, making it only barely larger in diameter than Jupiter. 

Ultracool dwarfs such as TRAPPIST-1 are very common in the Milky Way galaxy, making up about 15 percent of the stars near the sun. TRAPPIST-1's discoverers suggest that these kinds of stars may be the first places to look for life elsewhere in the universe, because they may be the only places where scientists using current technology can detect life on distant Earth-size planets.

Judging from the size and temperatures of the three planets around TRAPPIST-1, researchers previously suggested that regions on each world could be habitable — that is, have surfaces with just the right temperatures to harbor liquid water, a key ingredient of life as it is known on Earth. However, it was uncertain if these three planets were rocky worlds like Earth.

Now, TRAPPIST-1's discoverers have found that the star's two innermost worlds, TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c, are indeed primarily rocky planets.

The scientists made this new discovery by pointing NASA's Hubble Space Telescope at TRAPPIST-1 to catch a rare event on May 4: a double transit, when two planets — in this case, TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c — pass in front of their star at nearly the same time. 

"We actually have the capabilities to study the atmosphere of potentially habitable worlds with a facility, Hubble, designed in the '70s, well before we started to detect exoplanets," said study lead author Julien de Wit, a planetary scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "This is just insanely exciting."

By analyzing the spectrum of light from the planets during the double transit, the researchers gained insight into both worlds simultaneously. This is the first time that scientists have used a double transit to study the atmospheric properties of two exoplanets at the same time, de Wit said.

"On May the 4th, the force was definitely with us," de Wit told Space.com, referencing the date's prominence as "Star Wars" Day.

The dips in TRAPPIST-1's light during the double transit involved a narrow range of wavelengths that did not vary much over that range. If these dips had varied significantly, this would have suggested that TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c have light, large, puffy atmospheres, similar to that of the gas giant Jupiter, the researchers said. Instead, the data suggest that both planets have more compact atmospheres, similar to those of rocky planets.

"Knowing that these planets are not 'mini gas giants' is a good thing, as they would have thus been uninhabitable, by our standards," de Wit said. "This double transit was a rare event that allowed us to kill two birds with one stone — to check if both these planets had large, puffy atmospheres or not."

It remains uncertain what specific kinds of atmospheres these planets do have. They could range from dense ones, like Venus'; to thin ones, like Mars'; to one more like Earth's. 

"The next step is to try to disentangle all these possible scenarios that exist for these terrestrial planets," de Wit said in a statement.

TRAPPIST-1 was discovered using TRAPPIST (Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope) in Chile, a new kind of ground telescope designed to scan the sky for ultracool dwarfs. Now, the researchers have formed a consortium named SPECULOOS (Search for habitable Planets Eclipsing Ultra-cool Stars) and are building four larger versions of TRAPPIST in Chile to analyze the brightest ultracool dwarf stars in the skies over the Southern Hemisphere. They are also trying to raise money to build telescopes to scan the northern sky.

The scientists detailed their findings online today (July 20) in the journal Nature.

Into The Spiritual Depths of Albert Einstein

Matthew Donnelly

Religion

“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.” ― Albert Einstein

In my ‘passionate curiosity’ in the teachings of spirituality, I find that it spirituality does not rely on religion however, there a lot of spiritual teachings to stem from religious beliefs. Imagine for one instant with an open mind a religion and its number one mission is to set you completely free that is spirituality. In my learnings I have found that Buddhism and Zen Buddhism are the closest religions that come to complete freedom.

This has only been in my experience up to this point, and I do not consider myself to want to be a Buddhist or coming remotely close in the future to be a Buddhist but do believe we all are Buddhas.

Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha) became enlightened when he sat under a tree for 7 days and meditated. Enlightenment was directly correlated with nirvana, the ultimate state of peace. Ultimate peace my friends is the ultimate freedom in this life.

The essence of how Siddhartha became enlightened, through meditation is the very basic foundation of most spiritual teachings in today’s day and age.

Mind

Some of the greatest spiritual masters of all time have spoken on the mind, and it a common denominator of just about every spiritual master who has ever lived from Hinduism to Zen, to the Advaita Vedanta speak of one truth and that all absolute reality, absolute truth is found when the thinking-mind has vanished.

To use the mind for practical reasons to make our way through this physical earth, but to allow the inner silence (inner you) to show you the way.

Many of Einstein’s words pointed to this truth.

“I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me.” ― Albert Einstein

Again consider Buddha becoming enlightened from meditation. The very basic reality of meditation is to get rid of the mind. The mind can never be silent. The purpose of the mind is to think; so how could the mind be completely quiet?

In deep meditation there is no mind, and when there is no mind there is pure silence. It is in this pure silence where enlightenment is found, the absolute truth of reality. The absolute truth is inner reality and it is found in silence.

“I want to know God’s thoughts – the rest are mere details.” ― Albert Einstein

The way to know God’s thoughts are through the silence, through no-mind a very deep spiritual truth.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. — Albert Einstein

Intellect can be correlated very closely with the ability and capacity to ‘think’. Einstein is saying that thinking has got the world very far, is a great tool that we have used however it is still none the less extremely limited. Even if the mind can’t comprehend God, so why should it be limited?

“My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.” ― Albert Einstein

Another pointer talking about the limitations of the mind and regardless of the religion you believe in, let the foundation of your limitLESS spirit lead you on the pathless path of the journey towards inner absolute truth.

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein

The intuitive mind in absolute reality is no mind at all. Intuition is the answers that you get without comprehension from the silence. Society as a whole although in the very beginning awakening stages has built itself with belief that the mind is everything and is completely blind to the reality that intuition the silence is the greatest gift that we have been given in this lifetime.

Time

 “Time is an illusion.” ― Albert Einstein

In the mind time does exist as in past, present and future. It is only in the mind however that time is linear. When you consider that in the thoughts of the mind as real as they may seem are merely an illusion. If thoughts are an illusion, then that means time itself can be nothing but an illusion.

In the universe, in absolute reality there is nothing other than presence. You can think about the word presence, but you cannot be fully present with every cell in your body through thought. Absolute presence can only happen when thought does not exist.

 “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.” ― Albert Einstein

When you consider the future in conceptual terms, you can look at it as a mysterious eternity. Nobody has actually ever experienced the future; you can only ever experience the present moment. And because the present moment which where all existence lies, it is the only place where ALL salvation, all enlightenment is found. It is only because of the mysterious that the present moment holds the power of existence itself hence the reason the mysterious is beautiful in the eyes of Einstein.

 “Life is a preparation for the future; and the best preparation for the future is to live as if there were none.” ― Albert Einstein

When you make the present moment the only interest in your life, then life will continue to flow in the conceptualized future like a river of water in which every particle has peace within it’s being.

System

When you consider someone who’s mission in life it was to go as far away from the system as possible you can look to none other than Albert Einstein himself.

“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.” ― Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was not a fan of the education systems that were in place and was expelled from High School at the age of 16. In spirituality learning has far less to do with learning about the system that is in place specifically educations systems and much more to do with learning about who and what you are.

Education is very limited to dogmatic systems, things that don’t have anything do with how successful we will be, or how happy and peaceful in our lives are right now.

The truth of learning is in the deep inner reality of your soul and Einstein realized such.

“Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” ― Albert Einstein

Authority can smash its beliefs into you, and make you fearful that “If you do not listen to what I say, you will regret it.” The key term ‘blind’ closely relates to the absolute lack of awareness and unless someone is there to guide us to a new path of awareness, the truth will continue to be hidden.

In spirituality, the greatest truth is the awakening of your deep inner reality.
