Ancient Structure In Japan Similar To Structure On Mars, Sept 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Ancient Structure In Japan Similar To Structure On Mars, Sept 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News
Date of discovery: unknown Location of discovery: Mars Google Earth: 36° 7'45.64"N 139°28'52.95"E Google Mars: 6° 3'57.07"N 92° 4'13.22"E These structures were discovered about two years ago, but recently I was wondering if this is proof that aliens came from Mars after the destruction of their planet. The Japanese do a lot of things different than other cultures...in a way that creates unity among its people more than other countries. It may be possible they are direct descendants of the ancients from Mars. Scott C. Waring News states: A massive structure appears isolated on a flat empty plane. The sides of the structure appear to have straight edges that run down to a large circular 'dot' formation at its base. NASA says the straight edges may be the result of fractures, related to fractures or a hill that was lifted up by the faulting and its current shape was the result of the surrounding terrain having been eroded down over billions of years. The same formation as on Mars, has also been found in Kofun in Japan. The Kofun era lasted from AD250 -538.

Fleet of UFO seen over Salt Lake City during sunset on Aug 11, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: August 11, 2016 Location of sighting: Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Source: MUFON #78355 These photos reveal a dark disk over Salt Lake City last month. The disk was seen alone, then with several others, and then alone again. Thats how cloaking devices work. It was seen right after sunset, when the cloaks of the ships are most vulnerable, that is when they saw many. Later, there was just one. Aliens do this for several reasons. One, they want a scout up ahead, that is being watched by humans, so the others wont be seen if their cloak is not working. Two, they want to see, feel the reactions of those who see it, so they know what precautions they must take next to insure they don't frighten humans. Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states: My family and I ( myself 37 years of age, sister 24, brother 27 and my two boys 10 and 8) were driving up interstate 15 in utah just south of salt lake city. I was the first to notice a black object in the sky which seeemed to be about 3 miles away, about 1500 feet off the ground. I made a joke to my boys to look there was a ufo. My sister said its just a cloud to which I responded " I know I'm just trying to trick the boys". I did think it was wierd that there was a single black cloud low in the sky and not all that far away. We watched it for a few minutes still talking about it going back and forth weather it was a cloud because as we got closer so it seemed it seemed more defined edges and solid. I decided to take pictures half thinking I was just taking pictures of a single solid black cloud. The pictures did not turn out well because it was with a cell phone a little past sun set and zoomed to the max. After taking several pics and looking threw what I took I looked up and there were now 3 black classic ufo shape objects. Then two and then one again. I did not see them seperate or come back together if that is infact how there became three and then one. It then seemed to pick up speed continuing north towards ogden. Within seconds it was gone. My brother and I both thought the object was about 500 yards across and about half that tall. We all at first were not excited about what we were watching but slowly realized it was no cloud and then when there were three horizontally and evenly spaced apart about 600yards we became real excited and kids a little scared. I don't know what it was but I know it was unusual. There was never a light on the objects. Just black.
Controversial Black Military Projects – Philadelphia Experiment, The Montauk Project, UFO Technology and the CERN Hardon Collider
Controversial Black Military Projects – Philadelphia Experiment, The Montauk Project, UFO Technology and the CERN Hardon Collider
Insightful author and publisher Alexandra Bruce sits down once again with dark journalist Daniel Liszt for a breaking interview on dimensional doorways, UFOs, MILAB, timeline manipulation. CERN Hadron Collider is believed to be responsible for opening dimensional doorways.
Alexandra shares her discoveries during a comprehensive investigation of the Philadelphia Experiment and the Exotic Invisibility Technology, which the Navy supposedly developed to confuse enemies.
Her probe eventually led to the bizarre revelations of a Black Budget research laboratory called The Montauk Project, located at Montauk Air Force Station on Long Island, New York. The research lab is believed to be the place of the extension or continuation of the so-called Philadelphia Experiment on October 28, 1943.
The original classic book “The Montauk Project,” by Alexandra, has made awareness to the public of the tales of Energy Manipulation, Time Travel, Astral Travel, Psychic Consciousness, Remote Viewing and Alternate Dimensions.
She claimed to have found witnesses who were part of a UFO Crash Retrieval team. These witnesses, according to Alexandra, were being used on black project experiments, particularly merging Human DNA with Alien technology.
She also claimed of interviewing a teenager whom his consciousness had been put in a younger vehicle after living many years as a soldier in Vietnam.
Some say that it was just a military psychological mission or operation. However, many believe that those experiments really took place.
The connection among The Montauk Project, the Philadelphia Experiment, CERN Hardon Collider and UFO Technology could suggest that an exchange system with an alternate dimension is being developed through the technological continuum.
The investigation could be a breakthrough into a dark black military project, which involves human testing and experiments.
Ancient Aliens – Beyond Roswell History Channel, Season 11 Episode 13 19th August 2016
The U.S. military has long denied that the infamous 1947 Roswell crash was anything other than a weather balloon, but FBI files released in 2011 include a memo to J. Edgar Hoover regarding the recovery of not one, but three “flying saucers.” Could the U.S. government really have extraterrestrial crafts in their possession? Ancient Astronaut theorists say yes, and claim that Roswell is just the tip of the iceberg. Over a dozen other UFO crashes were reported all across the world around the same time as Roswell, and it is rumored that the wreckage from these incidents was retrieved and hidden away at secret military bases like Area 51 in Nevada, Kapustin Yar in Russia, Pine Gap in Australia, Rudloe Manor in England, and even in the remote hills of China. But if true, what happened to these alien spaceships?
Blue Origin's Huge New Rocket Heats Up Billionaire Space Rivalry
Blue Origin's Huge New Rocket Heats Up Billionaire Space Rivalry
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
Blue Origin's newly announced New Glenn heavy-lift rockets will feature reusable first stages. The two- and three-stage versions will stand 270 feet (82 meters) and 313 feet (95 m) tall, respectively.

The competition between billionaire space entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos has reached new heights.
On Monday (Sept. 12), Bezos announced that his company Blue Origin is developing a family of heavy-lift rockets known as New Glenn, after John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth. With a maximum height of 313 feet (95 meters), New Glenn will be taller than the 230-foot (70 m) Falcon Heavy, which Musk's SpaceX is building.
The Falcon Heavy will be more powerful, however, generating 5.1 million pounds of thrust, compared to New Glenn's 3.85 million pounds. [Blue Origin's Private Spaceships in Photos]
The first stages of the Falcon Heavy (including the two strap-on boosters, which will be derived from Falcon 9 first stages) and New Glenn will be reusable, in keeping with the priorities of SpaceX and Blue Origin; both companies aim to slash the cost of spaceflight by landing and reflying their rockets multiple times.
The two companies' parallel efforts to develop this technology spawned aminisquabble between Musk and Bezos in November 2015, after Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket landed during a suborbital test flight, becoming the first booster ever to do so.
Musk congratulated Bezos via Twitter at the time, but also stressed that bringing a rocket back during an orbital launch — as SpaceX had been trying to do with its Falcon 9 — was a much more difficult task. (New Shepard is a suborbital rocket designed to take paying customers and science experiments on brief jaunts to space, while the Falcon 9 launches payloads to orbit.)

Bezos then pushed back, saying that SpaceX was trying to recover just the Falcon 9's first stage, which never makes it to orbit.
"The second point that I would make is that the SpaceX first stage does an in-space deceleration burn to make their re-entry environment more benign," Bezos said during a news conference in November. "So if anything, the Blue Origin booster that we just flew and demonstrated may be the one that flies through the harsher re-entry environment. And then finally, the hardest part of vertical landing and reusability is probably the final landing segment, which is the same for both boosters."
SpaceX succeeded in landing a Falcon 9 first stage in December 2015, during the launch of 11 satellites for the company Orbcomm. Since then, SpaceX has landed five more Falcon 9 first stages, some of them on terra firma near the launch pad and some on robotic "drone ships" stationed offshore.
And Blue Origin has successfully launched and landed the same New Shepard first stage four times to date, most recently in June of this year.
In his Monday announcement, Bezos said that the company's goal is to have New Glenn — which will have a two-stage variant and a three-stage version — up and running by 2020. Meanwhile, SpaceX representatives had said that the maiden flight of the Falcon Heavy should take place later this year, but that timeline may be in doubt as the company continues to investigate theexplosion of a Falcon 9 during a routine prelaunch test on Sept. 1.
Bezos and Musk aren't the only billionaires reshaping the spaceflight landscape. For example, Virgin Galactic was founded by British entrepreneur Richard Branson in 2004, and in 2011 Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen formed Stratolaunch Systems, which will launch satellites (and, eventually, crew-carrying vehicles) beneath the biggest airplane that has ever flown.
De afgelopen maanden zijn er diverse kraters ontstaan in Siberië. Wetenschappers hebben mogelijk een verklaring gevonden hoe deze kraters zijn gevormd. De vinger wijst in de richting van klimaatverandering als hoofdverdachte.
Op 19 juli voerden onderzoekers, onder leiding van Andrei Plekhanov van het Scientific Centre for Artic Studies, een onderzoek uit bij de Yamal-krater die eerder die maand is ontstaan. Zij troffen opvallend veel methaan aan. Nabij de bodem van de krater bestond de lucht voor 9,6% uit methaan. En dat terwijl de lucht gemiddeld voor 0,000179% uit methaan bestaat.
Gesmolten permafrost Plekhanov en zijn team denken dat er sprake is van een connectie tussen het ontstaan van de krater en de opvallend hete zomers in de omgeving van de krater in 2012 en 2013. De gemiddelde temperatuur was vijf graden Celsius hoger dan normaal. De wetenschappers suggereren dat de bevroren permafrost is ontdooid en in elkaar is gestort. Hierbij kwamen grote hoeveelheden methaan vrij. Andere wetenschappers denken dat er sprake is van een langduriger effect. Zij wijzen er op dat de permafrost op een diepte van twintig meter de afgelopen twintig jaar met twee graden Celsius is opgewarmd.
Verder onderzoek De wetenschappers gaan graag terug naar de krater om meer onderzoek te doen. Ze willen graag de hoeveelheid methaan in de wanden van de krater meten. Maar, het is zeer gevaarlijk werk. De krater is minstens zeventig meter diep. Daarnaast brokkelen de randen dagelijks verder af door opwarming.
Zorgen Hoewel de krater in onbewoond gebied is gevonden, maken de onderzoekers zich zorgen. Wat als er meer kraters ontstaan in bewoonde gebieden of in gasvelden? Gaan dit soort gaten mensenlevens opeisen?
De grootste maan van Pluto heeft een vuurrode noordpool. Dit wordt veroorzaakt door bevroren methaan, zeggen Amerikaanse wetenschappers.
De baan van Pluto rondom de zon is niet rond, maar ovaalvormig. Aangezien de omlooptijd van deze dwergplaneet 248 jaar is, kennen Pluto en Charon winters die niet enkele maanden, maar vaak meer dan honderd jaar duren.
Tijdens zo’n lange winter vangt Charon methaan dat ontsnapt uit de atmosfeer van Pluto. Dit methaan vriest vast aan het oppervlak van de dwergplaneet. Naarmate de temperatuur stijgt, verkleurt het methaan en krijgt het gebied een rode gloed.
De bovenstaande theorie is niet nieuw, maar tot nu toe bleef het bij speculaties. Will Grundy en zijn collega’s van het Lowell observatorium hebben de gegevens van de New Horizons-ruimtesonde gebruikt om modellen van het oppervlak van Pluto en Charon te bouwen. De modellen bevestigen alle speculaties, waardoor het zeer aannemelijk is dat het rode gebied ook daadwerkelijk op deze manier is ontstaan.
Op weg naar het volgende doel De scheervlucht langs Pluto is alweer een jaar ten einde en dat betekent dat de ogen zijn gericht op het volgende doel: 2014 MU69. New Horizons komt in januari 2019 aan bij dit Kuipergordelobject. Een lange reis nog te gaan!
Nieuwe stof gebruikt zon en wind om apparaten van stroom te voorzien
Nieuwe stof gebruikt zon en wind om apparaten van stroom te voorzien
Tim Kraaijvanger
Wetenschappers van het Georgia Institute of Technology hebben een stof ontwikkeld die zonne-energie en windenergie opvangt. Misschien kan dit textiel in de toekomst gebruikt worden om GPS-systemen of smartphones op te laden.
De onderzoekers gebruikten een weefmachine om zonnecellen van polymeervezels met vezelachtige tribo-elektrische nanogenerators te weven. Deze tribo-elektrische nanogenerators gebruiken een combinatie van het tribo-elektrische effect (materialen wisselen bij contact elektrische lading uit) en elektrostatische inductie om een mechanische beweging (roteren, schuiven of vibreren) om te zetten in stroom.
De nieuwe stof is 320 micrometer dik en bestaat voor een groot deel uit wol. De onderzoekers beweren dat de stof geïntegreerd kan worden in tenten, gordijnen en kleding. “Het materiaal ademt, is flexibel, weegt bijna niets en kan overal voor gebruikt worden”m concludeert professor Zhong Lin Wang. Zijn paper staat deze week in het wetenschappelijke vakblad Nature Energy.
Straks heeft jouw horloge geen batterijtje meer nodig. Misschien kan de stof wel gebruikt worden als horlogebandje?
Daarnaast is het materiaal niet prijzig om te maken. “De polymeervezels zijn niet duur en goed verkrijgbaar”, zegt Wang. “Daarnaast zijn ze milieuvriendelijk. De elektroden zijn ook niet kostbaar om te produceren, waardoor massa-productie een mogelijkheid is.”
Aardige opbrengst De onderzoekers hingen een lapje stof ter grootte van een A4’tje uit een autoraam. Toen de auto bewoog werd energie opgevangen, ook al was het die dag bewolkt. Een stukje stof van vier bij vijf centimeter laadde een condensator binnen een minuut op tot twee volt, met dank aan wind en zonlicht.
Vervolgonderzoek De grote vraag is nu: hoe lang gaat het materiaal mee? Wetenschappers richten zich de komende tijd op deze vraag. Het zou natuurlijk jammer zijn als jouw nieuwe trui van dit materiaal binnen een paar weken uit elkaar valt.

Earth Vulnerable to Major Asteroid Strike, White House Science Chief Says
Earth Vulnerable to Major Asteroid Strike, White House Science Chief Says
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

The world is still vulnerable to a potentially catastrophic asteroid strike, according to President Barack Obama's chief science adviser.
NASA has made substantial progress in finding the asteroids that pose the biggest threat to Earth, but there's still a lot of work to do, said John Holdren, director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy.
"We are not fully prepared, but we are on a trajectory to get much more so," Holdren said today (Sept. 14) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, during a discussion of the agency's planned Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM). [Images: Potentially Dangerous Asteroids]
Holdren cited the February 2013 meteor explosion over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk and the 1908 Tunguska airburst as reasons to take the asteroid threat seriously.
The Chelyabinsk strike, which injured about 1,200 people, was caused by an object that is thought to be about 65 feet (20 meters) wide. The Tunguska event was much more powerful; a space rock perhaps 130 feet wide (40 m) exploded over a mostly unpopulated region of Siberia, flattening 800 square miles (2,070 square kilometers) of forest. Both strikes caught the world completely by surprise.
"We know that this does happen," Holdren said.
Strikes such as the Chelyabinsk impact are thought to happen once every hundred years, he added, while Tunguska is regarded as a once-in-1,000-years event.
But, Holdren said, "if we are going to be as capable a civilization as our technology allows, we need to be prepared for even those rare events, because they could do a lot of damage to the Earth."
"This is a hazard that, 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs succumbed to," he added. "We have to be smarter than the dinosaurs."
ARM can help educate us, Holdren said. In late 2021, NASA aims to launch a robotic probe toward a near-Earth asteroid; the current target is a 1,300-foot-wide (400 m) rock called 2008 EV5, but that’s not set in stone, agency officials said.
After it arrives at the asteroid, the spacecraft will pluck a boulder off its surface and then fly along with the space rock for a while, investigating the potential of a deflection strategy known as the "enhanced gravity tractor." (The standard gravity-tractor method calls for nudging a potentially hazardous asteroid off course over the course of years or decades, using the subtle gravitational tug of a tag-along robotic probe; this effect will be "enhanced" by the addition of the boulder's mass.)
The probe will then head back toward Earth, eventually placing the boulder in orbit around the moon. Astronauts aboard NASA's Orion space capsule will visit the purloined rock in the mid-2020s, agency officials have said.
The $1.25 billion ARM mission should help researchers learn more about asteroids and the resources they possess; demonstrate many of the technologies needed to get astronauts to Mars (which NASA aims to do before the end of the 2030s); help the agency practice human operations in deep space; and hone some of the skills that will be needed to deflect a potentially dangerous asteroid one day, Holdren said.
"The asteroid-retrieval mission makes sense in about five different ways," he said.
While smaller asteroids can do great damage on a local scale, experts think that space rocks must be at least 0.6 miles (1 km) wide or so to threaten human civilization. NASA scientists estimate that they have found at least 90 percent of these mountain-size, near-Earth asteroids, and none of them pose a threat for the foreseeable future.
Gravity tractors aren't the only possible defense against incoming asteroids. For example, dangerous space rocks could also be knocked off course by "kinetic impactors" (a series of spacecraft that slam into them). Some researchers have also proposed destroying asteroids with nuclear bombs; this is usually regarded as a last-resort strategy, to be used with space rocks that are discovered too late to deflect via gravity tractors and/or kinetic impactors.
Unlimited Energy: Physicists Assert We Already Have a Viable Model of a Fusion Device
Unlimited Energy: Physicists Assert We Already Have a Viable Model of a Fusion Device
IN BRIEF
One of the biggest challenges in the fusion energy development is finding the best shape for the device to contain the plasma, but physicists in the United States believe they may have found a new kind of nuclear fusion device that could be the most commercially viable design yet.
HOLY GRAIL
Physicists around the world are on a mad dash to build a nuclear fusion machine that can replicate the Sun’s atom-fusing process and provide everyone with a low-cost, sustainable energy resource—effectively ending our dependence on fossil fuels.
Replicating how the sun and stars create energy through fusion is essentially like putting “a star in a jar,” although there is no “jar” in existence that is not only capable of containing superhot plasma, but also low-cost enough that it can be built around the world—although it’s not for lack of trying.
In fact, physicists are working on a new kind of nuclear fusion device that could be the most commercially viable design yet.
In a new paper published in Nuclear Fusion, physicists working at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) assert that a model for such fusion device “already exists in experimental form – the compact spherical tokamaks at PPPL and Culham, England.”

SPHERICAL TOKAMAKS
Current designs for this so-called “jar” essentially call for doughnut shaped objects that come complete with powerful magnetic fields which suspend the plasma inside it, called tokamaks. It’s incredibly expensive to make and also hard to maintain, which is why physicists continue to develop new designs that will, hopefully, keep the cost down.
So far, there are two advanced spherical tokamaks in various stages of development. The first is the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST), which UK expects to be completed soon; the other is the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) at PPPL, which went online last year.
“We are opening up new options for future plants,” said Jonathan Menard, lead author and program director for the NSTX-U.
But the devices, described in the 43-page paper, still have a long way to go. They must first be able to control the turbulence created after the plasma particles are subjected to electromagnetic fields, and also control how the superhot plasma particles interact with the device’s walls to avoid possible disruptions, which can happen if the plasma becomes too impure.
PPPL Director Stewart Prager said these two reactors, “will push the physics frontier, expand our knowledge of high temperature plasmas, and, if successful, lay the scientific foundation for fusion development paths based on more compact designs.”

World First: New Nanofish Will Change the Way We Deliver Medicine
World First: New Nanofish Will Change the Way We Deliver Medicine
Credit: Small (2016). DOI: 10.1002/smll.201601846
Randy Patton, Ohio State University
IN BRIEF
Researchers have created the world's first nanofish using gold, nickel, and silver. Each Segment is just 800 nm long. The fish could be key to better ways of delivering medicine and manipulating cells.
SWIMMING ROBOTS
Drug delivery technology is currently experiencing a sort of Renaissance. From delivery using ultrasonic vibrations to ingestible electronics, we are currently developing many ways to effectively deliver medicine in a safer, more targeted way.
But who would have thought that included injecting swimming nanomachines into our body?
Researchers at U.C. San Diego have created the world’s first nanofish, small robots that swim like fishes, created with drug and medicine delivery in mind.
While creating nanomachines is no new feat, current models are more akin to submarines, spinning with a corkscrew-like propeller. While this has enabled them forward movement, it is not the most efficient way of propelling these tiny machines.
TARGETING DELIVERIES
Instead, the new study, to be published in Nano Small Micro, proposes a fish-like movement. Essentially, the robot will sway its tail back and forth using electromagnetism. The small nanomachines are made up of 800 nanometer-long gold and nickel segments connected by silver.
An external magnet controls their movement, making the nickel sway back and forth. By altering the strength and orientation of the magnets used, the speed and direction of the machines can be controlled. This allows the researchers to tell the fish when and where to go, opening the possibility of pushing drugs to their intended target. The ultimate goal is targeted delivery, or even the possibility of manipulating single cells.
Currently, the researchers are working on several improvements, according to New Scientist. These include tackling the challenge of how to get the machines out of the body. One solution would be making the robots biodegradable. But that doesn’t solve all the issues. The fish would also be extremely expensive because of the precious metals used in the design. Thus, it may be a while before we have schools of fish solving all of our interior medical issues.
Imagine charging your phone or portable device with your shirt or your jacket. A group of researchers may have made it possible with a technology that has been in the works for two years now. And all it takes is a bit of movement and sunshine.
CUT FROM… WELL, A CLOTH
A lot can be said of mobile batteries, but “long-lasting” isn’t a phrase that comes to mind. Thus, the birth of power banks and power-saving options in mobile OS devices. Well, things may be about to change.
A group of US and Chinese researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta have worked for the past two years to develop an electricity-producing fabric. The super-thin material generates electricity through movement and sunlight.
This smart fabric is made using “solar cells fabricated from lightweight polymer fibers into micro cables are then woven via a shuttle-flying process with fibre-based triboelectric nanogenerators,” according to the article published in Nature Energy.
A CUT ABOVE THE REST
The applications of such a technology are limited only by what you can weave. “A single layer of such fabric is 320 μm thick and can be integrated into various cloths, curtains, tents and so on,” the study claims. And it can be charged as you move wearing the cloth, or as the wind blows it around.
Lead researcher Professor Zhong Lin Wang explains: “If you’re walking [and] your jacket is flicking back and forwards, you can harvest this kind of motion energy to charge your cell phone.” The researches demonstrated this using a 4 cm by 5 cm piece of the cloth and it was enough to power “a 2 mF commercial capacitor up to 2 V in 1 min under ambient sunlight in the presence of mechanical excitation.”
Credits: Professor Zhong Lin Wang
With the rise of wearable tech, this fabric already has market potential — from mobile to medical technology, and infrastructure monitoring to GPS. The researchers have received a number of inquiries from people in these industries.
In two years, the fabric may be available on the market.

First-Ever Discovery: Complex Organic Molecules Found on Rosetta’s Comet
First-Ever Discovery: Complex Organic Molecules Found on Rosetta’s Comet
This false-color four-image mosaic comprises images taken from a distance of 28.7 km from the center of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 3 February 2015. The mosaic measures 4.2 x 4.6 km. Image

IN BRIEF
The ESA's Rosetta comet orbiter has found complex, solid organic molecules in dust particles that came of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, lending credence to the theory that organic compounds, or even life itself came from the stars.
ONE LAST FIND
Over the past few months, the ESA’s Rosetta orbiter has been feeding us valuable data on comets: where they come from, what they’re made of, how they work, and so on. But its time is nearly at an end, with a kamikaze dive towards the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko scheduled for later this month.
But just before it dies, it has one more surprise up its sleeve.
The scientists behind Rosetta report that the probe has found complex, solid organic matter in the dust particles of the comet, the kind we’ve never expected to find. Previous missions could not collect these solid organic molecules, since these missions were merely flybys. Ultimately, they crafts moved too fast, disrupting the particles too much for a proper characterization.
MORE SOLID EVIDENCE
But Rosetta has the ability to lower its speed so that such information can be gathered. By slowing down, it was able to collect 27,000 dust particles, enough for its COSIMA mass spectrometer to get a proper reading.
What it found was nearly 200 particles of note, which are being studied to determine their organic structure. In a paper published in Nature, the scientists present seven representative particles, particularly two named Kenneth and Juliette.
Nature
“Our analysis reveals carbon in a far more complex form than expected,” remarked Hervé Cottin, one of the authors of the paper, in a statement. “It is so complex, we can’t give it a proper formula or a name!”
Comparison of the spectra determined for Kenneth and Juliette with the composition of organic matter in a chondritic meteorite found on Earth. Red lines indicate cometary dust grains while black lines indicate the meteorite.

These results are more extraordinary given that previous results from the Philae Lander and Rosetta itself saw only light, gaseous organic molecules, very different from the ones detected by this study.
“These particles have remained pristine and untouched for billions of years…” says senior author Martin Hilchenbach, in the same statement. “The results add to the growing picture that Comet 67P/C-G contains some of the most primitive material from our Solar System’s early history.”

Vlak voor de landing van Apollo 17 zag astronaut Jack Smith iets vreemds op of boven het maanoppervlak. “Ik zag net een flits op het maanoppervlak,” zei hij. “Het was een felle flits bij die krater.”
Het object werd ook gezien door astronaut Eugene Cernan. De waarneming door het tweetal stelt experts al tientallen jaren voor een raadsel.
Te fel en te blauw
In het programma The Unexplained Files wordt een foto getoond waarop mogelijk het object is te zien dat Smith tijdens zijn ruimtereis zag. Er werd namelijk een mysterieus blauwgekleurd object vastgelegd boven het maanoppervlak, zo laat astronoom Marc D’Antonio zien.
“In de bovenhoek bevindt zich een heel vreemd driehoekig object,” zegt hij, toevoegende dat hij niet weet wat het is. De drie blauwe lichten zijn te fel en te blauw om een planeet of sterrenbeeld te kunnen zijn.
Geen officiële verklaring
Astronaut Alfred Warden heeft een mogelijke verklaring voor het object. Tijdens een eerdere missie had hij een mini-satelliet in een baan om de maan gebracht. Hij zegt dat de twee astronauten wellicht die satelliet hebben gezien.
Het is onmogelijk om met zekerheid te zeggen wat Cernan heeft gezien. Sommigen speculeren dat Smith meteoren zag die insloegen op de maan. NASA heeft geen officiële verklaring voor deze UFO-waarneming.

Breakthrough Starshot : en route vers Proxima du Centaure ?
Breakthrough Starshot : en route vers Proxima du Centaure ?
Financé par l’entrepreneur russe Yuri Milner et avec la bénédiction de Stephen Hawking, le projetBreakthrough Starshot a pour objectif d’envoyer une sonde vers le système stellaire le plus proche, où l'on vient de découvrir une planète, en une génération seulement.
Lee Billings. Traduction de William Rowe-Pirra
Alpha Centauri, le système stellaire le plus proche du Soleil, est la cible du projet Breakthrough Starshot, qui vise à y envoyer des nanosondes propulsées par laser.
Pour Yuri Milner, l’entrepreneur russe et philanthrope milliardaire qui finance les prix scientifiques les plus richement dotés et la recherche de vie extraterrestre, le ciel n’est pas la limite – et le Système solaire non plus. Soutenu par le physicien Stephen Hawking et d’autres appuis de poids, Yuri Milner a annoncé début 2016 son investissement le plus ambitieux à ce jour : 100 millions de dollars pour un programme de recherche visant à envoyer des sondes robotiques vers le système stellaire le plus proche en seulement une génération.
« L’histoire de l’humanité est faite de bonds en avant », avait déclaré le milliardaire russe peu après l’annonce de son investissement. « Il y a 55 ans, Yuri Gagarine est devenu le premier humain à aller dans l’espace. Aujourd’hui, nous nous préparons pour le prochain grand saut – vers les étoiles.»
« Breakthrough Starshot », le programme financé par Yuri Milner, a pour objectif de faire rentrer tous les composants d’une sonde robotique – les cameras, les détecteurs, les propulseurs de manœuvre et l’équipement de communication – dans une « nanosonde » de l’ordre de quelques grammes. Celle-ci serait suffisamment petite pour être accélérée à des vitesses très élevées, à l’aide de technologies également en développement : un réseau de lasers terrestres de taille kilométrique, capable d’émettre des impulsions de 100 gigawatts pendant plusieurs minutes à travers l’atmosphère ; impulsions qui frapperaient des « voiles solaires » de quelques atomes d'épaisseur et plusieurs mètres de large et les propulseraient vers les étoiles. Chaque photon de l'impulsion laser délivrerait une petite quantité de mouvement à la voile et à son chargement, mais dans le vide et l'apesenteur de l'espace, le torrent de photons libéré par un laser de l’ordre du gigawatt amènerait la nanosonde à des vitesses relativistes. « Sans de nouvelles méthodes de propulsion, nous ne pouvons tout simplement pas aller très loin, » a expliqué Stephen Hawking lors de l’annonce. « La lumière est la technologie la plus accessible. »
Lancées par milliers depuis un vaisseau mère mis en orbite autour de la Terre, chaque nanosonde déploierait sa voile et profiterait d’une impulsion laser pour accélérer à 20 % de la vitesse de la lumière – soit quelques 60 000 kilomètres par secondes. En utilisant un système d'optique adaptative sophistiqué (des miroirs qui se déforment en temps réel) pour conserver la cohérence et la précision de chaque impulsion malgré les turbulences de l’atmosphère, chaque impulsion posséderait une énergie équivalente à celle d'une fusée au décollage. Le réseau de lasers pourrait ainsi propulser une nanosonde par jour.
Ce réseau devrait être construit à haute altitude, dans un environnement aride, et dans l’hémisphère Sud – peut-être au sommet d’une montagne du Chili, d’Afrique du Sud ou même d’Antarctique –, quelque part où l'on voit directement la cible du projet Breakthrough Starshot : l'étoile double Alpha Centauri qui, à 4,37 années lumières, forme avec Proxima du Centaure le système stellaire le plus proche du nôtre. La Nasa a déjà envoyé cinq sondes sur des trajectoires qui les conduisent au-delà des limites du Système solaire, mais même la plus rapide d’entre elles mettrait plus de 30 000 ans à atteindre Alpha du Centaure. Les nanosondes du projet Breakthrough Starshot accompliraient ce même voyage interstellaire en seulement 20 ans. Dépourvue de système de freinage, elles récolteraient brièvement des informations sur les éventuelles planètes du système Alpha Centauri, qu’elle nous enverrait avant de s'enfoncer plus profondément dans l'obscurité de l'espace interstellaire, hors de portée de toute communication.
Pour Yuri Milner, « si cette mission se concrétise, elle nous en apprendra autant sur nous mêmes que sur Alpha Centauri ». Breakthrough Starshot est le concept le plus récent des initiatives Breakthrough, un ensemble de projets multidisciplinaires qui mobilisent des fonds privés pour tenter de répondre à des questions sur la vie dans l’univers. En 2015, toujours avec Stephen Hawking, Yuri Milner avait annoncé Breakthrough Listen, un projet à 100 millions de dollars s’étalant sur 10 ans, qui consiste à écouter plus d’un million d’étoiles et une centaine de galaxies pour tenter de déceler les signaux d’une potentielle civilisation extraterrestre. Il avait aussi annoncé le projet à 1 million de dollars Breakthrough Message, dont l’objectif est de composer des communiqués à diffuser vers l’espace à destination de toute éventuelle civilisation extraterrestre attentive. Comme Breakthrough Starshot, qui représente la plus grosse somme d’argent jamais dédiée exclusivement aux recherches sur le voyage interstellaire, ces autres initiatives constituent un tournant dans le financement de ces champs de recherche qui, en raison de leur nature particulièrement spéculative, ont longuement végété dans les tréfonds des financements scientifiques publics.
Grands projets, petites sondes
Les plans sérieux pour ce projet ont débuté il y a environ un an, quand Yuri Milner a consulté des experts qui ont réfléchi concrètement aux options envisageables pour rendre le voyage interstellaire possible. L’un d’entre eux, Avi Loeb, astrophysicien à l’université de Harvard et nouveau président du conseil consultatif de Breakthrough Starshot, a déjà proposé des idées étonnantes pour rechercher la vie extraterrestre.
Avi Loeb et ses collègues consultants ont souligné que nous sommes déjà capables chaque jour d’accélérer des particules subatomiques à une vitesse proche de celle de la lumière et que plus une sonde est petite, plus elle pourra voyager vite. « Si vous retirez la coque et l’interface d’un iPhone, ses composants électronique, y compris la caméra et les dispositifs de communications, ne pèsent que quelques grammes, » explique Avi Loeb. « C’est presque tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour une nanosonde et nous sommes sur le point de l’avoir grâce à la miniaturisation de l’électronique. »
Après avoir considéré, puis rejeté, des options aussi exotiques que des fusées propulsées par l’annihilation d’antimatière ou par la fusion nucléaire, les consultants se sont intéressés aux voiles solaires propulsées par laser, un concept apparu pour la première fois dans les années 1960. Ils se sont concentrés sur les travaux récents de Philip Lubin, un physicien de l’université de Californie à Santa Barbara, qui venait juste de mettre au point la « feuille de route » pour développer de minuscules sondes interstellaires propulsées par laser, dans le cadre d’une étude modestement financée par la Nasa. Après quelques modifications, ces plans ont fourni un modèle pourBreakthrough Starshot et Philip Lubin est désormais l’un des membres clés du projet.
« Le problème du voyage interstellaire peut-être abordé de deux manières, explique Lubin. Les fusées à antimatière ou à fusion nucléaire font partie d’une approche "réelle". Les lois physiques connues indiquent que ce sont des solutions réalistes, même si nous ne savons pas encore bien comment les mettre en pratique. La propulsion par distorsion de l'espace-temps ou par les trous de ver font partie d’une approche plus "imaginaire" – ce que j’appellerais des solutions fictives, parce que personne n'a la moindre idée de comment les réaliser. » Le concept de propulsion laser est, selon lui, une approche tout à fait réelle parce qu’il est à la fois « réaliste et réalisable ».
La feuille de route de Philib Lubin énonce les nombreux obstacles qu’une mission interstellaire à propulsion laser devra surmonter, tel que la synchronisation d'une multitude de petits lasers en un réseau de taille kilométrique et la fabrication d’une voile légère et fine comme une toile d’araignée, mais capable de résister à des impulsions laser de l’ordre de plusieurs gigawatts. Un autre problème sera de convaincre les responsables politiques d’autoriser la construction d’un tel système laser qui pourrait, en principe, être utilisé comme une arme. Les sondes devront transmettre leurs observations à la Terre en utilisant des lasers embarqués d'une énergie de quelques watts seulement – un problème potentiellement soluble en utilisant le réseau laser terrestre comme récepteur. Mais l’obstacle le plus important est simplement une question de prix : à un coût estimé d’environ 10 dollars par watt, la construction du réseau de laser à 100 gigawatt de Breaktrough Starshot coûterait 1000 milliards de dollars.
Mais si élevé cela que puisse paraître, il faut se souvenir que les prix du marché d’il y a 10 ans auraient rendu le projet 100 fois plus cher. Poussé par la forte demande des systèmes de télécommunications et par les projets de défense, le coût des technologies nécessaires à un réseau de lasers géant est divisé par 2 tous les 18 mois, selon Philip Lubin. Cette baisse exponentielle des coûts suggère que d’ici 10 ans, le prix des lasers pourrait passer de 10 dollars par watt à seulement 10 centimes. « Le projetBreakthrough Starshot consiste au fond à améliorer et à développer à une échelle bien plus grande des technologies critiques, en examinant ce qui permet ou empêche ce changement d'échelle », explique le physicien. « Si les prix ne bougent pas dans les 30 prochaines années, nous aurons de gros problèmes pour mener à bien ce projet. »
Selon Avi Loeb, il existe un autre obstacle, plus subtil, de l’ordre du phénomène social : le « facteur dérision », c’est-à-dire la tendance des gens à se moquer de concepts avant-gardistes. « Toute révolution scientifique ou technologique passe par une première phase durant laquelle elle est moquée, » développe Avi Loeb. « Parfois, la moquerie est issue de critiques valides, mais parfois elle n’existe que parce que le projet est différent et peut paraître étrange… Ce qui est sûr, c’est que la majeure partie de la communauté scientifique qui travaille sur des sujets dont on n'est pas censé se moquer – des sujets dont le facteur dérision est de zéro – font eux même une grande erreur en se moquant. » « Nous sommes sérieux, poursuit Avi Loeb. Nous découvrirons si, oui ou non, ce projet est réalisable et s’il ne l’est pas, nous l’admettrons et passerons à autre chose. »
Le rêve Centauri
Suivant la feuille de route modifiée de Philib Lubin, une grande partie des 100 millions de dollars de Yuri Milner serviront à financer le développement de solutions à une vingtaine d’obstacles techniques majeurs identifiés. Ces solutions pourraient ensuite donner naissance à un prototype, qui pourrait peut-être être construit pour quelques centaines de millions de dollars de plus. Du moment que les prix des technologies électroniques et photoniques continuent de baisser et que leurs performances continue d’augmenter, l’assemblage d’un système pleinement fonctionnel nécessiterait un financement de la même échelle que celui du Grand collisionneur de hadrons ou du télescope spatial James Web, c'est-à-dire plusieurs milliards de dollars – que Yuri Milner ne pourrait pas fournir seul. Les gouvernements ou bien des collectifs de philanthropes milliardaires pourraient alors participer. Avec Yuri Milner et Stephen Hawking, le troisième membre du conseil de direction de Breakthrough Starshot est d'ailleurs Mark Zuckerberg, le fondateur et président de Facebook.
« Cela doit être vu comme un effort collectif, parce que c’est seulement de cette façon que nous y arriverons », déclare Yuri Milner. « Il serait très excitant que nous y parvenions au cours de notre vie, comme nous l’espérons, mais si ce n’est pas le cas, nous transmettrons ce projet à la génération suivante – pas simplement comme une idée, mais comme une feuille de route et une technologie développées. Nous ne sommes pas à des centaines d’années d’accomplir cela, seulement à quelques décennies. Ces 100 millions de dollars ont pour objectif de servir pendant les prochaines années, pour permettre de se concentrer sur chaque obstacle que nous avons mis en lumière et de voir jusqu’où nous pouvons repousser la limite. »
En dehors du manque de matériel et de financement, l’une des craintes majeures des auteurs du projet était qu’aucune planète n’avait encore été observée dans le système Alpha Centauri à l’époque. Heureusement, une exoplanète vient d'être découverte en orbite autour de Proxima du Centaure,l’étoile la plus proche parmi les trois astres du système triple Alpha Centauri. Et quand bien même, selon Pete Worden, ancien directeur du centre de recherche Ames de la Nasa et directeur du projet Breakthrough Starshot, les nanosondes propulsées par laser pourraient aussi servir à plus long terme à explorer d'autres systèmes stellaires.
En plus de faire du voyage interstellaire une réalité, Breakthrough Starshot pourrait aussi avoir des applications plus directes pour nous, explique Peter Worden. Le réseau laser pourrait servir à détecter et à caractériser des astéroïdes potentiellement dangereux pour la Terre, et son réseau de miroirs déformables pourrait servir de télescope géant pour capter la lumière stellaire plutôt que de focaliser des lasers. Les lasers pourraient aussi propulser des sondes en direction des planètes de notre propre système solaire et envoyer des messions vers Mars en quelques heures ou vers Pluton en quelques jours pour quelques centaines de milliers de dollars par tir.
« Une fois que nous aurons lancé ces sondes et que nous aurons obtenu des images d'une planète orbitant autour d’une autre étoile, cela nous forcera à définire l'humanité comme un tout et ouvrira la voie à notre avenir commun, » pense Pete Worden. « C’est un projet qui, s'il fonctionne, nous amènera à repenser notre existence en tant qu’espèce mais aussi en tant qu’habitants d’une planète. »
Le lancement de Breakthrough Starshot permet déjà aux fondateurs desBreakthrough Initiatives de revoir leurs autres projets, tel que Breakthrough Listen. Si nous cherchons des planètes potentiellement habitables dans d’autres systèmes stellaires et utilisons des lasers pour y envoyer des flottilles de sondes miniaturisées les explorer, nous n’avons pas de raison de penser que nous sommes les seuls à le faire. Les sondes en elles-mêmes seraient invisibles : un vaisseau interstellaire de quelques grammes pénétrant la haute atmosphère terrestre à une vitesse de 20 % celle de la lumière dégagerait une énergie d’à peine une kilotonne, impossible à distinguer de celle des quelques météorites de l'ordre d’un mètre qui pénètrent notre atmosphère chaque année. L’un des lasers propulsant une telle sonde pourrait être détecté s’il achevait sa course dans l’un de nos télescopes les plus performants. La plus grande partie des efforts du projet Breakthrough Listen consiste à rechercher des signaux radios de communications extraterrestres, mais le projet s’intéresse aussi à tout potentiel signal lumineux en provenance de l’espace interstellaire.
Lors de la conférence annonçant le projet, Stephen Hawking a expliqué qu’il soutenait ce projet moins pour l'avancée scientifique que pour une question de survie. « La Terre est un endroit merveilleux, mais elle pourrait bien ne pas durer éternellement, » explique-t-il. « Tôt ou tard, nous devrons nous tourner vers les étoiles. Breakthrough Starshot est un premier pas prometteur sur cette route. »
Avi Loeb est du même avis : « Un jour, il faudra qu’on trouve une alternative à la vie sur Terre, et comme pour n’importe quel grand voyage, celui-ci doit commencer par un premier petit pas – on ne peut pas juste abandonner. Rappelez-vous ce que disait Oscar Wilde : " Nous sommes tous dans le caniveau, mais certains d’entre nous regardent les étoiles. ". Quand je regarde les étoiles, la nuit, elles ont l’air de petites lumières dans un grand vaisseau qui voyagerait à travers l’espace. Et à chaque fois je me pose la même question : y a-t-il d’autres passagers à bord de ce vaisseau, près de ces petites lumière ? Si ce projet se concrétise, nous pourrons leur rendre visite et découvrir la vérité.
UFO Sightings Have Doubled – The ET’s Creating Their Own Disclosure?
UFO Sightings Have Doubled – The ET’s Creating Their Own Disclosure?
In the month of June 2015 UFO sightings were dramatically on the up by a 100%. Some are saying that this is the summer of “Alien Disclosure”
Dare we mention their name but MUFON had double the amount of sightings in June compared to may, up from 600 to a staggering 1,179 sightings! With this better summer weather and clear sky’s around many parts of the world, all this going hand in hand with many leading events throughout the world, could this be the time for the Aliens to start forcing their very own disclosure!?
But guess what people, MUFON have declared that this means nothing and the only reason for the dramatic increase in sightings is due to the fact that they have shared their footage recently with the History Channel for a TV series called ‘ Hangar 1: The UFO Files’
Roger Marsh, MUFON’s Director of Communications, recently confirmed to another UFO Research site called ‘Openminds‘ that:
“We feel [it] was directly related to the final two episodes of Season 2 of ‘Hangar 1: The UFO Files,'” he told the alternative news site Open Minds.
“A very high percentage of the June UFO report surge were historical cases,” Marsh added.
“People were watching our show and decided they finally discovered a place where they could report their encounter.
“Some of these are very, very interesting and compelling cases currently under investigation.” Roger Marsh said
Like as we stated above one thing that we agree with MUFON is that Roger also stated that due to people being outside a lot more in this good weather and probably appreciating the night sky more, then this will add to the amount of UFO sightings being seen! BUT this does not explain the increase of sightings compared to last years amount of UFO sightings (please see table below).
A graph table showing the dramatic increase in sightings!
It is clear as we have highlighted many times before on our website and on our FB/Twitter page that we are clearly being ‘Drip Fed’ with Disclosure on a weekly basis pretty much, so could this all possibly go hand in hand with the dramatic increase in UFO sightings and could this also mean that the Aliens are possibly growing impatient and want Disclosure Now?
Are the ET’s forcing their very own ‘Disclosure’ ?
It of course is impossible to confirm at this moment in time, but its important to remember some of the exciting stories we have read in the papers recently and the things that leading space agencies and Scientists have confirmed. We have had the European Space agency mentioning about potentially discovering life on a comet one of their space landers have not so long ago landed on. We have also had it confirmed that even in our very own Galaxy, the Milky Way, we could be surrounded by‘Billions of Habitable planets’ (as a child I was taught that we were alone in the Universe). ‘Alien seeds and space Bugs being found above the Earths atmosphere’ by leading scientists etc etc the list goes on with the amount of Alien headlines we have had recently! On top of all this headline news about Aliens we are also now seeing more and more UFO sightings appearing in the media too, ESECIALLY in June 2015!
U.I.P SUMMARY
All of this VERY much goes hand in hand together! We are very much not alone in the Universe and being visited pretty much daily and the world leaders and the media are working together to ‘educate’ the masses…..Whether Official Disclosure happens this year or next….Disclosure is coming people, whether the people of this world like it or not, and THIS is why we are now seeing more sightings as it is all one big build up to what is to come!!
Yes there will always be hoaxes and fakes but sightings are on the up and ‘Extra-terrestrial’ interest is on the up…The world is shifting in to a new level of consciousness, its a new ‘Awakening’ for Planet Earth! But there will always be those that will be against the acceptance of life beyond planet earth, hence the ‘Drip feeding’ of Disclosure by the world leaders! (But the Aliens may be running out of patience!?).
Please see below some of the ‘few’ recent headline sightings from around the world.
MWV – U.I.P
Huge Cigar UFO and Orbs above California – Just one of the MANY UFO images appearing in the media nowadays!
This intriguing shot from Stonehenge:
There appears to have been something in the air in June. According to an international group of alien hunters, the number of UFO sightings doubled last month. High-profile sightings last month included one of a ‘flying saucer’ UFO which visited Stonehenge!
Suspected mass sightings seen in space too recently:

Roswell UFO breakthrough? Investigators claim development after BIZARRE desert discovery
Roswell UFO breakthrough? Investigators claim development after BIZARRE desert discovery
Alien hunter websites have been sent into overdrive after the mysterious discovery was made on Google Maps. The claimed ‘crash site’ is around 70 miles from Roswell in New Mexico, where UFO legend has it that a flying saucer crashed in July 1947, and the US military covered it up.
There are several long-standing conspiracy theories about Hitler and the Nazis experimenting with the occult and making contact with aliens in secret bases, including in the Antarctic, which have fuelled speculation about the new discovery.
Pseudo-science and archaeology website Ancient Origins has picked up on the images.
Its website said: “People have claimed that the enigmatic symbol found near Roswell is the result of Nazi occultism and even alien worship, due to its proximity to Roswell, where one of the most famous UFO sightings in history occurred.”
YouTube•UFOvni
Is this a swastika or sign of Buddha?
But Ancient Origins concluded the patterns were more likely made by the US Air Force as target practice for bombers.It would not be the first time this has happened.
In 2007, the US Navy was forced into an embarrassing apology after satellite imagery exposed how the Coronado Naval Amphibious Base in San Diego had been designed in the swastika shape.
But others believe the Roswell symbols have been there much longer.
Ancient Origins added: “However, this theory isn’t widely accepted by everyone, as there are many people who believe that the enigmatic symbols spread across the land of New Mexico, date back hundreds of years.”
YouTube•UFOvni
Some of the markings appear like ancient runes
Adding to the mystery is the fact the patterns are also close to the top-secret Area 51 US military base in the Nevada desert – where alien conspiracy theorists claim the “Roswell crashed UFO” was hidden away in 1947.Scott C Waring, editor of UFOsightingsdfaily.com, is not one to sit on the fence when it comes to proof of aliens.
In a blog posting he took the leap from speculation to say it was a sign pointing out a hidden underground alien base.
While others wondered why a hidden base would have such an unusual “X marks the spot” highlighting it, he said it was to warn oil drillers to steer clear and avoid the cavernous dwelling.
He blogged: “This is not a symbol of Hitler’s Nazis, but is the ancient buddha symbol that means pure goodness.
“Also in the writing in the rectangle above is alien symbols, very similar to those found at the Roswell UFO crash on small metal beams and parts.

Travis Walton UFO Abduction
Travis Walton UFO Abduction
Travis Walton (born February 10, 1953) is an American logger who was allegedly abducted by a UFO on November 5, 1975, while working with a logging crew in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona. Walton could not be found, but reappeared after a five-day search.
The Walton case received mainstream publicity and remains one of the best-known instances of alleged alien abduction. UFO historian Jerome Clark writes that “Few abduction reports have generated as much controversy” as the Walton case. It is furthermore one of the very few alleged alien abduction cases with some corroborative eyewitnesses, and one of few alleged abduction cases where the time allegedly spent in the custody of aliens plays a rather minor role in the overall account.
UFO researchers Jenny Randles and Peter Houghe write that “Neither before or since has an abduction story begun in the manner related by Walton and his coworkers. Furthermore, the Walton case is singular in that the victim vanished for days on end with police squads out searching … it is an atypical ‘Close Encounter: Fourth Kind’ (CE4) … which bucks the trend so much that it worried some investigators; others defend it staunchly.
Background
The case began on Wednesday, November 5, 1975. Then 22 years old, Walton was employed by Mike Rogers, who had for nine years contracted with the United States Forest Service for various duties. Rogers and Walton were best friends; Walton dated Rogers’ sister Dana, whom he later married. Others on the crew were Ken Peterson, John Goulette, Steve Pierce, Allen Dallis and Dwayne Smith. They all lived in the town of Snowflake, Arizona.
Rogers was hired to thin out scrub brush and undergrowth from a large area (more than 1,200 acres) near Turkey Springs, Arizona. The job was the most lucrative contract Rogers had received from the Forest Service, but the job was behind schedule. As a result, they worked overtime to fulfill the contract, typically from 6 a.m. until sunset.
The Search
About 7:30 p.m., Peterson called police from Heber, Arizona, near Snowflake. Deputy Sheriff Chuck Ellison answered the telephone; Peterson initially reported only that one of a logging crew was missing. Ellison then met the crew at a shopping center. They related the tale to him — all the men distraught, two of them in tears — and though he was somewhat skeptical of the fantastic account, Ellison would later reflect “that if they were acting, they were awfully good at it.”
Ellison notified his superior — Sheriff Marlin Gillespie — who told Ellison to keep the crew in Heber until he could arrive with Officer Ken Coplan to interview the men. In less than an hour, Gillespie and Coplan arrived, and they heard the tale from the crew. Rogers insisted on returning to the scene immediately to search for Walton, with tracking dogs, if possible. No dogs were available, but the police and some of the crew returned to the scene. Crew members Smith, Pierce and Goulette were too upset to be of much help in a search, so they elected to return to Snowflake and relate the bad news to friends and family.
At the scene, the law enforcement officers became suspicious of the story related by the crew, mainly because there was nothing in the way of physical evidence to back up the account. Though more police and volunteers arrived to search the area, they found not a trace of Walton. Winter nights could be bitterly cold in the mountains, and Walton had worn only jeans, a denim jacket and a shirt; police were worried that Walton could fall victim to hypothermia if he were lost.
Rogers and Sheriff Coplan went to tell the news to Walton’s mother, Mary Walton Kellett, who lived on a small ranch at Bear Creek, some 10 miles (16 km) from Snowflake. Rogers told her what had happened, and she asked him to repeat the account. She then asked calmly if anyone other than the police and the eyewitnesses had heard the story. Coplan thought her reserved response was odd; this factor contributed to the growing suspicion among police that something other than a UFO was responsible for Walton’s absence. On the other hand, Clark noted that Kellett was known as being generally guarded, and had furthermore raised six children largely by herself under often trying circumstances, which “had long since taught her to not to fly to pieces in the face of crises and tragedies. Yet in the days ahead, as events overwhelmed her, she would show emotion before friends, acquaintances and strangers alike — a fact that would go unmentioned in debunking treatments of the Walton episode.”
About 3 a.m., Kellett telephoned Duane Walton, her second-oldest child. He left his home in Glendale, Arizona, and drove to Snowflake.
By morning on November 6, officials and volunteers had scoured the area around the scene where Walton went missing. No trace of him was discovered, and police suspicions were growing that the UFO tale was concocted to cover up an accident or homicide. Saturday morning, Rogers and Duane Walton arrived at Sheriff Gillespie’s office “explosively angry” because they had returned to the scene and found no police there. By that afternoon, police were searching for Walton with helicopters, horse-mounted officers, and jeeps.
Publicity
By Saturday, word of Walton’s disappearance had spread internationally. News reporters, ufologists and the curious began travelling to Snowflake. Among the visitors was Fred Sylvanus, a Phoenix UFO investigator, who interviewed Rogers and Duane Walton on Saturday, November 8. While repeatedly expressing worry for Walton’s well-being (and criticizing what they saw as a halfhearted search effort by police), both men would make statements that would return to haunt them, when seized upon by critics.
On the recordings made by Sylvanus, Rogers noted that because of Walton’s disappearance and the subsequent search, he would be unable to complete his contract with the Forest Service, and he hoped the search for his missing friend would mitigate the situation. Duane Walton reported he and Walton were quite interested in UFOs, and that some twelve years earlier, Duane had witnessed a UFO similar to the one witnessed by the logging crew. Duane reported that he and Walton had both decided that if they had a chance, they would get as close as possible to any UFO they might see. Duane also suggested that Walton would not be injured by the aliens, because “they don’t harm people”. Without intending to do so, Rogers and Duane Walton had laid “the foundations for an alternative interpretation of the case” with their statements. Walton would later report that he never had a “keen” interest in UFOs, even after his supposed abduction, but the tape recorded statement of his brother Duane, while Walton was still missing, runs contrary to Walton’s statements.
Shortly after the Sylvanus interview, Snowflake town marshal Sanford Flake announced that the entire affair was a prank engineered by Duane and Travis. They had fooled the logging crew by lighting a balloon and “releasing it at the appropriate time”. Flake’s wife disagreed, suggesting that her husband’s story was “just as farfetched as Duane Walton’s”.
In the meantime, Police officers were making repeated visits to Kellett’s home; Duane once returned there to find her in tears as she was being questioned in her living room. Duane told the police to leave unless they had something new to relate, or to ask. Duane suggested that she speak with police only on the front porch, which would allow her to end the interview anytime she chose by simply going inside. She did exactly that after Marshal Flake arrived to relate a message, which Clark notes, contributed to the feeling among skeptics that Kellett was “hiding something. Or someone”.
Duane also spoke with William H. Spaulding of Ground Saucer Watch. Spaulding suggested that if Walton ever returned, GSW could provide a doctor to examine him in confidence.
Polygraph
On Monday, November 10, all of Rogers’ remaining crew took polygraph examinations administered by Cy Gilson, an Arizona Department of Public Safety employee. His questions asked if any of the men caused harm to Walton (or knew who had caused Walton harm), if they knew where Walton’s body was buried, and if they told the truth about seeing a UFO. The men all denied harming Walton (or knowing who had harmed him), denied knowing where his body was, and insisted they had indeed seen a UFO.
Excepting Dallis (who had not completed his exam, thus rendering it invalid), Gilson concluded that all the men were truthful, and the exam results were conclusive. Clark quotes from Gilson’s official report: “These polygraph examinations prove that these five men did see some object they believed to be a UFO, and that Travis Walton was not injured or murdered by any of these men on that Wednesday”. If the UFO was fake, Gilson thought, “five of these men had no prior knowledge of it”.
Following the polygraph tests, Sheriff Gillespie announced that he accepted the UFO story, saying “There’s no doubt they’re telling the truth.”
In 2009, Walton was a participant on game show The Moment of Truth. When asked if he was abducted by a UFO in 1975, he responded, “Yes”, an answer which the polygraph examiner determined to be deceptive prior to taping. Walton, in response to this outcome, said that polygraphs are 97% accurate, even in the best of cases.
Walton in the news
By Tuesday afternoon, word of Walton’s return had leaked out to the public. Duane took a telephone call from Spaulding, and told Spaulding not to bother the family again. Clark writes that after this telephone call, “Spaulding became a sworn enemy in the case.”[3]:663
Among the other telephone calls after news of Walton’s return was one from Coral Lorenzen of Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO), a civilian UFO research group. She promised Duane that she could arrange an examination for Walton by two medical doctors — general practitioner Joseph Saults and pediatrician Howard Kandell — at Duane’s home. Duane agreed, and the exam began at about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.[3]:636
Clark writes that “between Lorenzen’s call and the physicians’ examination, another party would enter, and hugely complicate, the story”. Lorenzen was telephoned by an employee of the National Enquirer, an American tabloid newspaper known for its sensationalistic tone. The Enquirer employee promised to finance APRO’s investigation, in exchange for APRO’s “cooperation and access to the Waltons”. Since the Enquirer’s financial resources were far greater than APRO’s, Lorenzen agreed to the arrangement.
The medical examination revealed that Walton was essentially in good health, but they did note two unusual features:
A small red spot at the crease of Walton’s right elbow that was consistent with a hypodermic injection, but the doctors also noted that the spot was not near a vein. Analysis of Walton’s urine revealed a lack of ketones. This was unusual, given that if Walton had indeed been gone for five days with little or no food as he insisted (and as his weight loss suggested), his body should have begun breaking down fats in order to survive, and this should have led to very high levels of ketone in his urine. Critics would argue this inconsistency is evidence against Walton’s story. Walton would later speculate that he had gotten the mark on his elbow in the course of his logging work; critics would speculate that the mark showed where Walton (or someone else) had injected drugs into his system. Clark dismisses this possibility of drugging as most unlikely, given that the medical doctors found no sign of it, but he also notes that perhaps “more difficult to explain is the absence of bruises, which one might expect in the wake of Walton’s alleged beam-driven collision with the ground.
Walton in the UFO
In his survey of UFO abduction literature, Terry Matheson writes that “Walton’s experience stands out by virtue of its not being particularly bizarre as far as abduction accounts go.”
Walton reported that after approaching the UFO near the work site, the last thing he remembered was being struck by the beam of light. When he woke, Walton said he was on a reclined bed. A bright light shone above him, and the air was heavy and wet. He was in pain, and had some trouble breathing, but his first thought was that he was in a normal hospital.[citation needed]
As his faculties returned, Walton says he realized he was surrounded by three figures, each wearing a sort of orange jumpsuit. The figures were not human. Walton described the beings as typical of the so-called Greys which feature in some abduction accounts: “shorter than five feet, and they had bald heads, no hair. Their heads were domed, very large. They looked like fetuses […] They had large eyes — enormous eyes — almost all brown, without much white in them. The creepiest thing about them were those eyes … they just stared through me.” Their ears, noses and mouths “seemed real small, maybe just because their eyes were so huge.”
Walton related that he feared for his safety and got to his feet, and shouted at the creatures to stay away. He grabbed a glasslike cylinder from a nearby shelf and tried to break its tip to create a makeshift knife, but found the object unbreakable, so instead waved it at the creatures as a weapon. The trio of creatures left him in the room.[citation needed]
Matheson finds this portion of the narrative troublingly inconsistent, noting that “despite his ‘weakened’ condition, ‘aching body’ and ‘splitting pain in his skull’, maladies [sic] for which no cause is suggested, he has no trouble jumping up from his operating table, seizing a conveniently placed glasslike rod, and, assuming a karate ‘fighting stance’, frightened them with this display of macho aggression, enough at least to cause them to run away.”
Walton then left the “exam room” via a hallway, which led to a spherical room with only a high-backed chair placed in the centre of the room. Though he was afraid there might be someone seated in the chair, Walton says he walked towards it. As he did, lights began to appear in the room. The chair was empty, so Walton says he sat in it. When he did, the room was filled with lights, similar to stars projected on a round planetarium ceiling.[citation needed]
The chair was equipped on the left arm with a single short thick lever with an oddly shaped moulded handle atop some dark brown material. On the right arm, there was an illuminated, lime-green screen about five inches square with black lines intersected at all angles.
Aftermath
In 1978, Walton published The Walton Experience, in which he outlined his own narrative of the event and its aftermath. The same year, Bill Barry published The Ultimate Encounter, in which he argues that the various debunkers, especially Klass, did not make persuasive cases and that Walton and others alleging similar experiences related events more or less as they believed they had happened.
Matheson argues that Walton’s book makes a few fundamental errors that severely harm his case. While Walton “proclaims self-righteously” that he intends only to relate events and not “interpret” them, Matheson writes, “the reader will see almost immediately that large sections of the book are nothing more than highly speculative, purely imaginative recreations on his part”.For example, after he is knocked unconscious by the blue beam, Walton offers precise, novelistic dialogue describing the conversations of his fellow crew workers after they drove away in a panic. Yet Walton never mentions whether he is paraphrasing their words based on what they related to him, if he interviewed the others to determine who said what, or if he simply assumed what they said. Matheson argues that this represents a “lack of concern for literal accuracy that the reader cannot help but suspect is characteristic of the entire work”.
After the initial furor subsided, Walton remained in Snowflake and eventually became the foreman at a lumber mill; he married Dana Rogers and they had several children. Beyond the film based on his encounter, Walton has occasionally appeared at UFO conventions or on television specials.
Fire in the sky
In 1993, Walton’s book was adapted into a film, Fire in the Sky, directed by Robert Lieberman and starring D. B. Sweeney as Travis Walton, Robert Patrick as Mike Rogers and Scott MacDonald as Walton’s brother Dan Walton. Clark writes that the film found “Moderate success, mixed reviews, and ufologists’ complaints about its inaccuracies and exaggerations.”Especially inaccurate was the portion of the film detailing his time on the UFO; it bears almost no resemblance to the original narrative. Screenwriter Tracy Tormé even sent letters to many ufologists, claiming that the changes were requested by studio officials, and apologizing for making such substantial alterations to Walton’s narrative. (Randles and Hough, 188)
Walton and Mike Rogers made a few promotional appearances to support the film; they debated Klass on Larry King Live. At one point, Klass lost his temper and called Rogers a “goddamned liar.”In his book, Clark does not offer any background context to explain Klass’s remark on Larry King Live.
In the renewed publicity generated by the motion picture, Walton, Mike Rogers and Allen Dallis agreed to take polygraph examinations at the behest of “a skeptical ufologist, Jerry Black”.[3]:650 Again, the tests were conducted by Cy Gilson, and the men all asserted that the events as they related them were true. Gilson concluded that all three men were truthful in regard to their responses about the events of November 5, 1975.[citation needed]
At the time of the film’s release, Walton re-issued The Walton Experience under the same title as the film; expanding it to include text rebutting Klass’s commentary.

Washington witness describes UFO with fins
Washington witness describes UFO with fins
A Washington witness at Auburn reported watching a teardrop-shaped UFO with fins, according to testimony in Case 78929 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was driving to a family members home when the object was first noticed at 2:18 p.m. on September 4, 2016.

“I thought it was one of those stealth-type planes, but I noticed the wings/fins on the side of it didn’t normally match the ones that I had previously seen before,” the witness stated.“They looked like they had bat-like points on the ends of them. Think of the bat symbol almost on a triangle/teardrop shape.”
The witness then noticed a second anomaly.
“Behind the black object was a weird, small shape that looked like it was glimmering/glittering. It was super sparkly, but I wasn’t able to identify it at all.”
The witness described a second object behind the first one that may have been pulled by the first object over Auburn.

The witness described the weather conditions and the object itself.
“The sky was a clear blue and the object was completely black/dark and the object it was either pulling or following was shiny and reminded me of sparkly mesh netting. At first when I noticed it I thought it was one of the stealthy/army planes since I’ve seen those around here and there, but the wings on the side of it didn’t match any of the kind I had seen before, plus the weird sparkly spider-web behind it made it seem really out of place.”
The witness was not sure of the relationship between the two objects.
“It was completely black and flying in a straight line while ‘pulling’ (it didn’t look attached to the actual flying object, it looked like it was being pulled though) this incredibly shiny, glittery mesh that reminded me of a spider web when it gets water droplets on it and sparkles. It wasn’t driving in any weird path or anything like that. It was moving completely straight as was the object behind it.”
The witness said the object just disappeared. Pictured: Auburn, WA.

The object then quickly disappeared.
“I don’t like saying ‘it just disappeared’ because it sounds cliché, but that is exactly what it did. It was there one moment and then gone the next. The object being pulled behind it was gone as well. While at a red light I looked everywhere. Everywhere. Behind me, to the sides of me, in the air, near the road, and it was completely gone. When I reached my destination I looked everywhere then too, but I was not able to see it again, which kind of freaked me out.”
Auburn is a city in King County, WA, population 70,180.

Op 8 september hangt er na een warme dag een grote onweersbui boven het Franse eiland Corsica.
Een man staat te filmen en naast de indrukwekkende bliksemflitsen legt hij nog iets anders vast.
Tijdens zijn laatste avond op Corsica aan het einde van zijn vakantie ziet een man dat er zich een onweersbui aan het ontwikkelen is en besluit te gaan filmen om zo te proberen een aantal van de indrukwekkende lichtflitsen vast te leggen.
Het is ongeveer negen uur in de avond wanneer hij begint met filmen, waar later meer op de beelden blijkt te staan dan alleen wat bliksemflitsen.
Het resultaat zijn niet alleen prachtige opnames van onweerswolken, maar ook zijn er diverse UFO’s waar te nemen.
Bij één daarvan zie je dat deze wordt getroffen door de bliksem en waarschijnlijk is dat ook de bedoeling. Het is natuurlijk zo langzamerhand een bekend feit dat er veel UFO’s rondom onweersbuien worden waargenomen.
Afgezien van dat dat in sommige gevallen te maken heeft met zogenaamde dimensieportalen, schijnen UFO’s de energie bij onweersbuien te gebruiken als een soort vorm van brandstof.
Waarschijnlijk vergelijkbaar met de grote UFO’s die soms worden waargenomen bij de zon om daar energie te tanken.
Hoe dan ook, het zijn prachtige opnames van UFO’s en onweersbuien.
