100% Proof That Bob Lazar Did Work in Area S4 on One of Eight Alien Disks (Video)
100% Proof That Bob Lazar Did Work in Area S4 on One of Eight Alien Disks (Video)
Location of event: Area S4, Inside Area 51 Date of event: 1988-1989
Lazar admitted that he worked inside Area S4, a small section of Area 51, and yet he was ridiculed by skeptics. Anyone that doesn’t believe Lazar clearly has no grasp on the subject of UFOs at all. He is legit. I looked into back in 2009 and wrote about him in my book UFO Sightings of 2006-2009. I vouch for him. Scott C. Waring
News states: Robert “Bob” Lazar (born January 26, 1959) is a controversial individual who claims qualifications as a scientist and engineer and alleged that he worked with extraterrestrial technology at a site called S4 near the Area 51 test facility. Lazar claimed to have worked in 1988 and 1989 as a physicist at S4 allegedly located at Papoose Lake southwest of top secret Area 51 near Groom Dry Lake, Nevada. According to Lazar, S4 serves as a hidden military location for the study and research of extraterrestrial spacecraft, or flying saucers using reverse engineering.
Lazar says he saw nine different extraterrestrial vehicles there and has provided detailed information on the mode of propulsion and other technical details of a disc-shaped vehicle he called the sport model. Lazar’s credibility was challenged after it was discovered that “schools he was supposed to have attended had no record of him, while others in the scientific community had no memory of ever meeting him.”[2] Lazar’s supporters counter that Lazar’s credentials and history were sabotaged to create the very questions of credibility his critics have emphasized.
Lazar first appeared in the media in the late 1980s. He appeared on television on a local Las Vegas news program discussing his experience at S4 and Area 51. He was also featured in the Los Alamos Monitor in a story dealing with a jet car he claimed to have built with help from a NASA researcher. The car was built from a jet engine modified and placed on an existing car model.[3] The article stated that Lazar was “a physicist at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility”.
In the race to discover a proposed ninth planet in our Solar System, Carnegie’s Scott Sheppard and Chadwick Trujillo of Northern Arizona University have observed several never-before-seen objects at extreme distances from the Sun in our Solar System.
Sheppard and Trujillo have now submitted their latest discoveries to the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center for official designations. A paper about the discoveries has also been accepted to The Astronomical Journal.
The more objects that are found at extreme distances, the better the chance of constraining the location of the ninth planet that Sheppard and Trujillo first predicted to exist far beyond Pluto (itself no longer classified as a planet) in 2014.
The placement and orbits of small, so-called extreme trans-Neptunian objects can help narrow down the size and distance from the Sun of the predicted ninth planet, because that planet’s gravity influences the movements of the smaller objects that are far beyond Neptune. The objects are called trans-Neptunian because their orbits around the Sun are greater than Neptune’s.
In 2014, Sheppard and Trujillo announced the discovery of 2012 VP113 (nicknamed “Biden”), which has the most-distant known orbit in our Solar System.
At this time, Sheppard and Trujillo also noticed that the handful of known extreme trans-Neptunian objects all cluster with similar orbital angles. This led them to predict that there is a planet at more than 200 times our distance from the Sun. Its mass, ranging in possibility from several Earths to a Neptune equivalent, is shepherding these smaller objects into similar types of orbits.
Some have called this Planet X or Planet 9. Further work since 2014 showed that this massive ninth planet likely exists by further constraining its possible properties.
Analysis of “neighboring” small body orbits suggest that it is several times more massive than the Earth, possibly as much as 15 times more so, and at the closest point of its extremely stretched, oblong orbit it is at least 200 times farther away from the Sun than Earth. (This is over 5 times more distant than Pluto.)
“Objects found far beyond Neptune hold the key to unlocking our Solar System’s origins and evolution,” Sheppard explained. “Though we believe there are thousands of these small objects, we haven’t found very many of them yet, because they are so far away.
The smaller objects can lead us to the much bigger planet we think exists out there. The more we discover, the better we will be able to understand what is going on in the outer Solar System.”
August 2016 - Saturn, 746 million miles from Earth - We just received a new leaked video from one of our contacts in the Russian Space Agency and this new video is very hot ! This short video footage shows Russian cosmonauts reaching orbit of Saturn and exploring with space shuttle fleet the moon Titan. Our contact informed us that they just reached Saturn after a nearly seven-year old space journey.
Watch this amazing VIDEO HERE !there other than ourselves.
The most distant of the planets obviously visible to the naked eye, Saturn is the sixth planet in the solar system. Because it travels in an elliptical path rather than a circular one, it doesn't always lie the same distance from the sun as it wanders through the sky.
The distance to Saturn from our planet is constantly changing as both of the planets travel through space. When the two are closest, they lie approximately 746 million miles (1.2 billion kilometers) apart, or eight times the distance between the Earth and the sun. At their most distant, when they lie on opposite sides of the sun from one another, they are just over a billion miles (1.7 billion km) apart, or 11 times the distance between the Earth and the sun.
Space travel is rarely a matter of moving in a straight line. Spacecraft often take advantage of planets, moons, and even the sun to gain speed with the use of little fuel. As such, older missions may have taken less time to reach outer planets than those with more modern propulsion systems.
Pioneer 11 took the first look at Saturn. Launched in April 1973, the craft passed Saturn over six years later, in September 1979.
The Voyager spacecrafts took advantage of an optimal lineup to explore the outer planets. Launched in September 1977, Voyager 1 used a gravitational assist from Jupiter to swing by Saturn in November 1980, only three years after leaving Earth. Although Voyager 2 launched a month earlier than its twin, it took a longer, more circular route and arrived in August 1981, taking a full four years to reach Saturn.
The Cassini mission, which left Earth in October 1997, twice used Venus for gravitational assists, slingshoting off of the cloudy planet. It also made a flyby of Jupiter, imaging the gas giant as it passed by. After almost seven years, the craft entered orbit around Saturn in July 2004, where it intends to study the planet until at least 2017. Among other things, the mission has studied lightning in Saturn's atmosphere.
The New Horizons mission, headed to the dwarf planet Pluto, launched in January 2006. Traveling at the fastest launch speed to date, it passed by Mars and Jupiter, then skimmed by Saturn in June 2008, taking only a year and a half to reach the ringed giant.
As you can see, the question of how long it takes to reach Saturn depends significantly on the path selected for the mission, as much if not more than the speed of the spacecraft itself.
Recently NASA scientists have identified an unexpected high-altitude methane ice cloud on Saturn's moon Titan that is similar to exotic clouds found far above Earth's poles.
This lofty cloud, imaged by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, was part of the winter cap of condensation over Titan's north pole. Now, eight years after spotting this mysterious bit of atmospheric fluff, researchers have determined that it contains methane ice, which produces a much denser cloud than the ethane ice previously identified there.
"The idea that methane clouds could form this high on Titan is completely new," said Carrie Anderson, a Cassini participating scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and lead author of the study. "Nobody considered that possible before."
Methane clouds were already known to exist in Titan's troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere. Like rain and snow clouds on Earth, those clouds form through a cycle of evaporation and condensation, with vapor rising from the surface, encountering cooler and cooler temperatures and falling back down as precipitation. On Titan, however, the vapor at work is methane instead of water.
The newly identified cloud instead developed in the stratosphere, the layer above the troposphere. Earth has its own polar stratospheric clouds, which typically form above the North Pole and South Pole between 49,000 and 82,000 feet (15 to 25 kilometers) -- well above cruising altitude for airplanes. These rare clouds don't form until the temperature drops to minus 108 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 78 degrees Celsius).
Other stratospheric clouds had been identified on Titan already, including a very thin, diffuse cloud of ethane, a chemical formed after methane breaks down. Delicate clouds made from cyanoacetylene and hydrogen cyanide, which form from reactions of methane byproducts with nitrogen molecules, also have been found there.
But methane clouds were thought unlikely in Titan's stratosphere. Because the troposphere traps most of the moisture, stratospheric clouds require extreme cold. Even the stratosphere temperature of minus 333 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 203 degrees Celsius), observed by Cassini just south of the equator, was not frigid enough to allow the scant methane in this region of the atmosphere to condense into ice.
What Anderson and her Goddard co-author, Robert Samuelson, noted is that temperatures in Titan's lower stratosphere are not the same at all latitudes. Data from Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer and the spacecraft's radio science instrument showed that the high-altitude temperature near the north pole was much colder than that just south of the equator.
It turns out that this temperature difference -- as much as 11 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees Celsius) -- is more than enough to yield methane ice.
Other factors support the methane identification. Initial observations of the cloud system were consistent with small particles composed of ethane ice. Later observations revealed some regions to be clumpier and denser, suggesting that more than one ice could be present. The team confirmed that the larger particles are the right size for methane ice and that the expected amount of methane -- one-and-a-half percent, which is enough to form ice particles -- is present in the lower polar stratosphere.
The mechanism for forming these high-altitude clouds appears to be different from what happens in the troposphere. Titan has a global circulation pattern in which warm air in the summer hemisphere wells up from the surface and enters the stratosphere, slowly making its way to the winter pole. There, the air mass sinks back down, cooling as it descends, which allows the stratospheric methane clouds to form.
"Cassini has been steadily gathering evidence of this global circulation pattern, and the identification of this new methane cloud is another strong indicator that the process works the way we think it does," said Michael Flasar, Goddard scientist and principal investigator for Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS).
Like Earth's stratospheric clouds, this methane cloud was located near the winter pole, above 65 degrees north latitude. Anderson and Samuelson estimate that this type of cloud system -- which they call subsidence-induced methane clouds, or SIMCs for short -- could develop between 98,000 to 164,000 feet (30 to 50 kilometers) in altitude above Titan's surface.
"Titan continues to amaze with natural processes similar to those on the Earth, yet involving materials different from our familiar water," said Scott Edgington, Cassini deputy project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. "As we approach southern winter solstice on Titan, we will further explore how these cloud formation processes might vary with season."
The results of this study are available online in the journal Icarus.
Will We Ever Find Alien Life? NASA and SETI Just Weighed in
Will We Ever Find Alien Life? NASA and SETI Just Weighed in
Futurism / ET
IN BRIEF
NASA and SETI experts discussed the question of life outside our own planet during an event celebrating Star Trek. Is extraterrestrial life possible? If so, what form will it take and how close are we to finding it?
Are we alone?
This question has been the subject of science fiction literature since H. G. Wells, and has popped up in films, video games, and more. But how close are we to truly finding life out there?
A panel of experts spoke on this topic during an event celebrating Star Trek’s 50th anniversaryin NYC. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Bobak Ferdowski, together with Dan Werthimer, University of California Berkeley’s Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) chief, led the discussion.
Let’s dive into their answers to two of the most intriguing questions from the discussion.
IF WE DO FIND LIFE, WILL IT BE PRIMITIVE OR INTELLIGENT?
Intelligent life does not necessarily equate to technological life. For example, dolphins are intelligent, but you don’t see them building VR devices (that we know of, anyway). It will most like be some time before we find intelligent life. Primitive extraterrestrial life, on the other hand, could be discovered in the next 20 to 30 years, according to Ferdowski and Werthimer.
They pointed out the potential for life on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons. “Europa [may be] completely covered in water. That’s great for primitive life, but if you want technology, you’ve got to have some land surfaces as well,” Werthimer explains. We may find primitive life there, “but it won’t necessarily evolve into something more complex than single-celled life” he points out.
If extraterrestrial technological life does exist, the beings may not be interested in contacting us. The panelists contrasted two popular theories — the Drake Equation and the Fermi Paradox. The former posits that intelligent life should be a fairly common occurrence in the universe. The latter questions why alien life, if it was indeed possible, is not observable in a universe teeming with it.
The panelists answered by assuming an extraterrestrial version of Star Trek’s “Prime Directive:” this technological life may be prohibited to mingle with less advance cultures. Or maybe some just aren’t explorers by nature.
WILL EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE RESEMBLE HUMANITY?
“If it’s exactly the same as us, that probably doesn’t mean there were two independent origins of life,” says Ferdowski. If extraterrestrial life does exist, and resembles human beings in basic biology, that could prove there was a common precursor of life in the cosmos, a theory known as panspermia.
Werthimer concluded:
“It’s a profound question either way […] If we find out we’re alone, that means we’d better take incredibly good care of the precious life here on Earth.”
The panelists may not have come to a definitive answer, but they did leave us a lot to consider when we look at our own galactic existence.
NASA geeft maandag aanstaande een telefonische persconferentie over nieuwe bevindingen die voortspruiten uit beelden van Europa, geschoten door ruimtetelescoop Hubble. Europa is in dit geval niet het werelddeel waarin wij leven, maar een van de manen van de planeet Jupiter.
De ruimtevaartorganisatie heeft het over "bewijs van verrassende activiteit die mogelijk verband houdt met de aanwezigheid van een oceaan onder de oppervlakte van Europa". De oppervlakte van de maan Europa bestaat uit een dikke laag ijs, waaronder al langer een vloeibare oceaan werd vermoed, maar nu zou de NASA daar dus bewijzen van hebben. Meteen wordt dan ook gedacht aan de mogelijkheid van buitenaards leven.

Rabbi: “Nibiru zorgt voor extreme weersverschijnselen op aarde”
Rabbi: “Nibiru zorgt voor extreme weersverschijnselen op aarde”
Doemvoorspellingen blijven populair op internet. Er is op dit moment veel te doen rond de potentiële dreiging van Nibiru. Rabbi Alon Anava zei afgelopen week dat de dwergster verantwoordelijk is voor extreme weersverschijnselen op aarde.
Blogger Menachem Robinson wist bovendien aan Breaking Israel News te vertellen dat Nibiru de komende weken zijn dichtste punt tot de aarde zal bereiken.
Na een recente lezing over de komst van de Messias, linkte rabbi Anava het toenemende aantal tsunami’s, aardbevingen, vulkaanuitbarstingen en andere extreme gebeurtenissen aan de komst van Nibiru.
Verschillende hemellichamen
Hij zei dat de Amerikaanse overheid al voorzorgsmaatregelen heeft getroffen door het hoofdkwartier van de Federal Reserve en de CIA te verplaatsen.
“Decennialang geloofden astronomen dat er een tiende planeet in ons zonnestelsel moest zijn,” zei Robinson, die al veel over Nibiru heeft geschreven. “De tiende planeet werd Planeet X genoemd. X is het Romeinse cijfer 10. Nibiru en Planeet X zijn echter twee compleet verschillende hemellichamen en bevinden zich niet eens in hetzelfde zonnestelsel.”
Volgens rabbi Anava is het ook mogelijk dat er niets gaat gebeuren. “Er zijn profetieën die spreken van brandende rotsen, maar elke profetie kan ongedaan gemaakt worden.”
Vaticaan
Het zijn niet alleen joodse denkers die speuren naar Nibiru. Volgens Robinson is ook het Vaticaan geïnteresseerd in de dwergster. “Het Vaticaan is geïnteresseerd in Nibiru als de ster die de Messias brengt, en de ster van Jakob in Numeri,” legde hij uit.
“Ik zal hem zien, maar nu niet; ik zal hem aanschouwen, maar niet nabij. Er zal een ster voortkomen uit Jakob, en er zal een scepter uit Israël opkomen; die zal de palen der Moabieten verslaan, en zal al de kinderen van Seth verstoren.” – Numeri 24:17
Rabbi Anava zei dat het Vaticaan 500 jaar geleden is begonnen met de zoektocht naar Nibiru. Volgens hem baseerden astronomen van de Heilige Stoel zich op joodse bronnen, waaronder de boeken van Ezechiël, Jeremia en de Zohar, die verhalen over een planeet van vuur die voor de komst van de Messias verschijnt.
Volgens Robinson kan Nibiru binnen nu en enkele weken zijn dichtste punt tot de aarde naderen. Rabbi Anava noemt geen specifiek tijdstip.
Wetenschapper: “Kernexplosies op Mars waren bedoeld om al het leven uit te roeien”
Wetenschapper: “Kernexplosies op Mars waren bedoeld om al het leven uit te roeien”
Er zijn in een ver verleden tot twee keer toe nucleaire ontploffingen geweest op Mars. Dat heeft dr. John E. Brandenburg gezegd tijdens de conferentieAIAA Space 2016van het American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
“We hebben bewijs voor twee grote nucleaire explosies op Mars,” zei Brandenburg. “De plekken bevinden zich ten noorden van Cydonia Mensa en Galaxias Chaos.”
Het gezicht op Mars
Hij voegde toe dat op beide plekken mogelijk archeologische artefacten kunnen worden gevonden. Nieuwe foto’s van het gezicht op Mars (Cydonia Mensa) tonen namelijk ogen, een neus, mond en een helm, aldus de fysicus.
Doelbewuste pogingen
In 2014 werd er voor het eerst aandacht besteed aan de bevindingen van de plasmafysicus. Hij liet weten dat hij zijn werk heeft laten analyseren door het Amerikaanse ministerie van Defensie. Na een half jaar gaf het Pentagon hem toestemming om zijn onderzoek te presenteren tijdens AIAA Space 2016 in Californië.
Tijdens het congres vertelde hij dat de twee nucleaire ontploffingen in de Marsatmosfeer hebben plaatsgevonden en dat het lijkt te gaan om doelbewuste pogingen om al het leven op de rode planeet uit te roeien.
Enorme schokgolven
De ontploffingen waren volgens hem zwaar genoeg om een enorme catastrofe te veroorzaken en het klimaat op Mars drastisch te veranderen. Omdat er geen kraters zijn gevonden, moeten ze in de atmosfeer hebben plaatsgevonden, aldus Brandenburg.
Aangezien zijn werk zorgvuldig is bestudeerd door het Pentagon, lijkt dr. Brandenburg over bewijs te beschikken dat er kernwapens zijn gebruikt op Mars. Isotopen wijzen op twee enorme schokgolven in de noordelijke regio’s op Mars, veroorzaakt door nucleaire wapens.
A New York witness between Florida and Goshe reported watching and videotaping a cylinder-shaped UFO where the entire object was lit, according to testimony in Case 79187 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his girlfriend were driving home between 9 and 10 p.m. on August 4, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“We saw a light to our left,” the witness stated.“This thing was a complete lit-surfaced craft. It wasn’t blinking lights. The entire surface of craft was lit up and glowing.”

Een man gaat wandelen met zijn hond en filmt een aantal vreemde objecten, waarna opeens de batterij van zijn camera leeg is.
En twee politieagenten slagen erin om opnamen te maken van een vreemde cilindervormige UFO.
We schreven gisteren over het voortdurende mysterie van de oranje bollen en ook vanuit Engeland komt daarover nu een interessant verhaal.
De waarneming werd enkele dagen geleden gedaan door een man die zijn hond uitliet in de plaats Great Shefford in Berkshire.
Terwijl ze daar samen liepen, zag hij drie glinsterende objecten boven de bomen hangen. Helaas had hij geen camera bij zich en kon hij dus ook niets opnemen. Een dag later ging hij terug naar hetzelfde gebied, dit keer wel gewapend met een camera, in de hoop dat hij dit keer wat interessante opnames zou kunnen maken.
Hij had geluk, want dezelfde objecten die hij de dag ervoor had gezien, waren nu wederom zichtbaar. Hij begon met filmen, maar het plezier duurde niet al te lang, want na twee minuten stopte de camera omdat de batterij dood was,ondanks dat deze volledig was opgeladen.
Buurtbewoners in het dorpje vertelden aan de plaatselijke krant dat ook zij volledig in het duister tasten omtrent de identiteit van de objecten. De afgelopen drie maanden zijn deze vreemde oranje fenomenen door diverse bewoners van het dorp in West Yorkshire waargenomen.
De man met de hond vertelde dat hij ze tot nu toe vier keer had gezien, maar dat ze niet op bepaalde vaste tijden verschenen.
Het hoogste aantal objecten dat hij heeft waargenomen, bedraagt zes en de maximale tijd dat ze zichtbaar waren, is ongeveer een kwartier.
Ook hier echter weer geen antwoorden.
We blijven nog even in Engeland waar enkele politiemensen ook een vreemd object op film wisten vast te leggen.
Deze waarneming vond plaats in een heel ander deel van Engeland en dat was in het plaatsje Consett in County Durham.
Het betrof een sigaarvormige UFO die ongeveer 30 minuten zichtbaar was. Het voorval vond plaats op klaarlichte dag en men zag dat de UFO verticaal om zijn eigen as draaide.
Volgens UFO experts bevindt het object zich op een hoogte van ergens tussen de 350 en 1750 meter en men schat de lengte ervan op ergens tussen de 70 en 150 meter.
Er worden natuurlijk wel vaker cilindervormige UFO’s waargenomen, maar je ziet ze niet zo dikwijls in een verticale positie.
This is interesting. Streetcap1 found an armada passing by our sun this week. There is a main mothership, three medium ships (yellow circle), and 10 tiny craft (red circles) following it. Look how the long thin nose of the medium craft (above) is the same as the nose on the mothership below it. It looks like they are traveling together, because there is safety in numbers...especially for the smaller craft. Also the medium craft flying behind them has a triangle shape. Scott C. Waring
Streetcap1 states: This is a quite complicated looking piece with possibly two or more items meeting in space. As we say here, you couldn't make it up and guess what, I don't. PS. Notice the circle next to the main craft has a small craft at the center. Standard alien greetings approach formation with the boss in the center. How do I know this, I just do.Streetcap1.
Huge Jellyfish UFO Over Caribbean Caught By NASA, Sept 18, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Huge Jellyfish UFO Over Caribbean Caught By NASA, Sept 18, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Above is original, below is negative.
Date of sighting: Sept 18, 2016 Location of sighting:Caribbean Its plain to see there is a giant jellyfish UFO hiding inside this could, and its soaking in the power of the electricity causing lightning all around it. Some ships deliberately create these storms just so they can feed off of them, regardless of the damage they may cause the public. NASA is trying to call these sprites, but its a new field especially created to deliberately misinform the public about these UFOs so they can keep them secret. NASA was created not to find alien life, but to appease the publics curiosity, but giving them crumbs of information. Thus they can say they are doing their job, when in all reality, they are holding the public back. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states: This is a copy and paste from the Nasa website spaceweather.com: 'A-BOMB' SPRITE OVER THE CARIBBEAN: On Sept. 18th, Frankie Lucena of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, photographed an enormous sprite over the Caribbean Sea. For a split-second, the sky was illuminated by a mushroom-shaped flash:Oscar van der Velde, a member of the Lightning Research Group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, explains what Lucena photographed: "This type of sprite is often called 'jellyfish' or 'A-bomb,' and ranks as the largest type of sprite in both horizontal and vertical dimensions," he says. "It consists of a bright halo approximately 85 km above Earth's surface surrounding sprite elements with long tendrils reaching down as low as ~30 km above ground level." "This kind of sprite tends to be triggered by a very impulsive positive cloud-to-ground flash," van der Velde adds. The curious thing is, Lucena did not observe an instigating lightning bolt. Instead, just before the sprite appeared, he recorded a bright point-like flash of light. "Was it a cosmic ray hitting the camera?" wonders Lucena. Play the entire video to see the flash. Another possibility: The point-like flash could have been a cloud-to-ground strike mostly eclipsed by intervening clouds. If Lucena did photograph something new triggering a sprite, perhaps it shouldn't come as a big surprise. The field is relatively new. Although sprites have been seen for at least a century, most scientists did not believe they existed until after 1989 when sprites were photographed by cameras onboard the space shuttle. There is still much to learn.
Gigantic UFO With Multiple Arms Spotted Near The Sun In SOHO Images Captured In Three Different Years
Gigantic UFO With Multiple Arms Spotted Near The Sun In SOHO Images Captured In Three Different Years
An image of the Sun showing an apparent giant alien UFO flying through the inner solar system raises speculations about NASA hiding evidence of alien presence. Cameras on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) captured the image on September 11, 2016.
UFO researchers have been spotting this UFO flying close to the Sun-Earth L1 gravitational balance point in the solar system. SOHO cameras also captured similar flybys in 2011, 2012, and 2016. NASA and the European Space Agency jointly managed the SOHO satellite, which is stationed in a halo orbit around point L1. Its primary purpose is to transmit almost real-time data of solar activity to Earth, which helps in predicting space weather.
The UFO discovered in the image from SOHO LASCO C2 camera has multiple long arms, which according to UFO hunters, could be communication antennae.
Some UFO hunters say that the UFO has three long appendages and a fourth arm that is two times longer than the higher arms. All four arms are believed to be solid objects and not just trails. Other UFO researchers say that the UFO actually has 5-7 arms. They also point out that the arms were not smoke trails or vapor from the engine exhaust, but solid appendages.
The UFO has repeatedly been spotted stationing near the Sun in SOHO images. Alien and UFO hunters suggest that the unidentified flying object follows a fixed route that regularly passes the Sun to refuel by sucking energy from the hot atmosphere of the star.
Alien hunters are now challenging NASA to explain why the mysterious object is present in two images taken on the same day by different SOHO cameras, making it impossible to be just an accidental flaw in the digital image.

Louisville, Kentucky: UFO followed by a smaller UFO fleet 19-Sep-2016
Here’s one interesting footage of some kind of a UFO fleet flying across the sky above Louisville, Kentucky. This was filmed on 19th September 2016.
Witness report:
watching the night sky with a NV-IR device, i captured a UFO traveling N to NE, when it disappeared above garage i noticed there was a ufo fleet behind it, they flew too fast to be birds and moving very quick in formation at night following a ufo?i don’t think it was birds because they were at the same altitude as the first UFO (main object).
Tennessee Man Witnesses A UFO That He Describes As Orange Line
Tennessee Man Witnesses A UFO That He Describes As Orange Line
A bright orange line in the sky was spotted by a man in Nashville in Tennessee. The orange line seemed to be two separate lights after zooming in the video recording.
The witness was on a work break when the incident took place. It was at three early in the morning on August 15, 2016, when he noticed a brilliant orange light in the sky, unlike anything he had ever seen in his usual spot for smoking. The brightness of the light caught his attention, as well as the color that appeared like a street light, but way too big.
His first thought was the moon behind cloud cover, but he noticed the moon was directly above him. Furthermore, there wasn’t cloud cover that time. Because it was very dark and the object was far away, the witness could not make out any features on it.
Even after a thorough look, the witness could still not find any details as the lights on the object appeared to cover it. The witness used his phone to record a video of it and after zooming in, he realized the lights were actually two separate lights with a small gap in between. After around a minute, the object started to shrink and turned pure white in a gradual manner. Two minutes later, the object faded away, and the witness lost sight of it.
The unnamed witness reported his sighting to MUFON, and it is filed under case 78626.
Astronomers may have found the first binary planets ever observed beyond our solar system.
The two objects straddle the dividing line between gas giants and odd "failed stars" known as brown dwarfs in terms of mass, researchers said. The newfound bodies are also similar to each other in size and age.
"They're probably brother and sister," Daniella Gagliuffi told Space.com. Gagliuffi, a graduate student at the University of California, San Diego, found the objects amid a cloud of stars about 65 light-years from Earth. [Gallery: The Strangest Alien Planets]
"It's a little incestuous," said Gagliuffi, who presented her research at the American Astronomical Society's summer meeting in San Diego in June.
The pair lie within a dense cluster of stars that would normally be expected to strip objects away from one another. However, observations suggest that the two objects are so close that interactions with other stars would instead push them closer together, Gagliuffi said.
Planets or failed stars?
Galaxies are filled with stars, but they also include faint drifting objects with characteristics that make their status debatable. Such objects can be classified either as planets or as failed stars, given a blurry dividing line between the two.
That's the case for the two objects Gagliuffi identified in a search for failed stars known as brown dwarfs. Gagliuffi sought brown dwarfs that could help her probe the lower boundary of what makes a star.
Unlike stars, brown dwarfs fail to fuse "normal" hydrogen in their interior. But these odd objects are apparently capable of fusing deuterium, or "heavy" hydrogen, a feat that kicks in when a body is around 13 times as massive as Jupiter.
The newfound pair weigh in at roughly 15 and 14 times the mass of Jupiter. But the error bars associated with those estimates are wide enough that they may actually be in the planetary range.
"Their mass is straddling the deuterium-burning limit," Gagliuffi said.
So, the twins could be a pair of planets dancing around a central point of mass (in which case they would be the history-making exoplanet binary), but they could also be a pair of brown dwarfs, or a brown dwarf hosting a massive gas giant planet.
To complicate the matter, both brown dwarfs and young gas giants produce light so weak that it is difficult to study their composition or differentiate them from one another.
And massive young planets produce heat from within, slowly cooling over their lifetimes. Gagliuffi's studies show the pair are between 200 million and 300 million years old — young enough to confuse the issue.
A rare find
Pairs of brown dwarfs are abundant throughout the Milky Way galaxy, but young binaries are not so common, Gagliuffi said. If the siblings turn out to be failed stars, they could provide intriguing insights into their family's formation history.
Binary worlds also are thought to be rare. Our solar system is considered by some to host one pair of planets. The dwarf planet Pluto and its largest moon Charon orbit a point of mass outside the boundaries of each, making Pluto-Charon a binary system. No other binary planets are known outside of the sun's orbit.
The newfound twin worlds drift through what Gagliuffi calls "a whole zoo of different stars," only about 926 million miles (1.49 trillion kilometers) apart. While that sounds like an enormous distance — it is 10 times the distance between the Earth and the sun, after all— it's actually extremely close for worlds from two different systems. She and her colleagues think it's unlikely that the pair are just drifting close to one another by chance.
Pluto
Pluto, the most famous dwarf planet in our solar system, underwent a well-publicized (and somewhat controversial) reclassification that took away its title as the ninth and most distant planet from the sun. So, how well do you know this fascinating world?
"Given that they're so close, it's extremely likely that they're bound," Gagliuffi said.
It's possible that the pair is connected to a third, more distant star that they orbit together. No such star has been identified, but many binary systems are actually triples, and Gagliuffi will look for a parent star as she continues this work.
Of course, the pair may also be drifting alone without adult supervision.
Does an Earth-Like Alien Planet Orbit the Sun's Closest Neighbor?
Does an Earth-Like Alien Planet Orbit the Sun's Closest Neighbor?
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
Astronomers have found a rocky and possibly Earth-like planet circling the star closest to the sun, according to the German magazine Der Spiegel.
On Friday (Aug. 12), Der Spiegel reported that the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) La Silla Observatory in Chile had spotted evidence of a rocky, potentially habitable world orbiting Proxima Centauri, a small, dim star that lies just 4.25 light-years from the sun.
Scientists with the ESO will announce the find later this month, according to Der Spiegel, which cited an unnamed astrophysicist on the discovery team as its source. [In Images: The 1st Earth-Size Alien Planets Ever Found]
ESO officials neither confirmed nor denied the report.
"We were surprised to see the article in Der Spiegel and do not know the source," ESO spokesman Richard Hook told Space.com via email. "ESO has no further comment to make at present."
Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf, a star much smaller and cooler than the sun. About three-quarters of all stars in the Milky Way galaxy are red dwarfs.
Proxima Centauri lies just 0.24 light-years from the two stars of Alpha Centauri, and many astronomers regard the red dwarf as part of the latter system.
In 2012, astronomers announced that La Silla's High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher instrument, or HARPS, had spotted a rocky, roughly Earth-size planet around Alpha Centauri B. This world, known as Alpha Centauri Bb, circles its host star once every 3.2 days, and is therefore much too hot to support life, discovery team members said at the time.
However, a 2015 study found that the detected signal of Alpha Centauri Bb was merely an artifact and that the planet almost certainly does not exist.
To date, astronomers have discovered more than 3,200 confirmed alien planets, with NASA's Kepler space telescope responsible for about two-thirds of the finds. Kepler's work suggests that, on average, every star in the Milky Way hosts at least one planet.
We think we understand how stars form, live, and die, but sometimes looking out in the universe we discover things that don’t like to behave as they should. This is the case of SAO 244567, a star 2,700 light-years away that has undergone a sudden rebirth.
This object has been visibly evolving for the last 45 years, changing its temperature by almost 40,000°C (72,000°F). And new Hubble observations performed by an international team suggest that the star is now cooling again, going back to the original evolutionary sequence.
In a paper, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the team looked for confirmation of the rare helium-shell flash scenario they proposed in 2014. This is when the pressure in the star is suddenly enough to fuse helium around the core, expanding and brightening the star.
“SAO 244567 is one of the rare examples of a star that allows us to witness stellar evolution in real time,” said lead author Nicole Reindl from the University of Leicester, UK, in a statement. “Over only twenty years the star has doubled its temperature and it was possible to watch the star ionizing its previously ejected envelope, which is now known as the Stingray Nebula.”
A helium flash occurs in about one-quarter of low-to-medium-mass stars. When a star becomes old, its core runs out of hydrogen and the star turns into a red giant. The star then burns the helium at its core until it becomes depleted too, and hydrogen in the other shells start fusing. When all this material is spent, the helium around the core is suddenly and rapidly ignited, creating the helium flash.
Shown is how the star's rebirth is predicted to play out.

“The release of nuclear energy by the flash forces the already very compact star to expand back to giant dimensions – the born-again scenario,” Reindl said. Although there have been a couple of observations of similar objects, this is the first time the heating and cooling phase of a star have both been observed.
“We need refined calculations to explain some still mysterious details in the behavior of SAO 244567,” added Reindl. “These could not only help us to better understand the star itself but could also provide a deeper insight in the evolution of central stars of planetary nebulae.”
Cosmic 'Echoes' Reveal Stars Devoured by Black Holes
Cosmic 'Echoes' Reveal Stars Devoured by Black Holes
By Samantha Mathewson, Space.com Contributor
A doomed star falling into a black hole may produce a flare of light that "echoes" through nearby dust clouds, according to two new studies.
Monster black holes can be millions of times more massive than the sun. If a star happens to wander too close, the black hole's extreme gravitational forces can tear the star into shreds, in an event called "stellar tidal disruption."
This kind of stellar destruction may also spit out a bright flare of energy in the form of ultraviolet and X-ray light. The two new studies examine how surrounding dust absorbs and re-emits the light from those flares, like a cosmic echo, according to a statement from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). [Millions of Black Holes Seen by WISE Telescope (Photos)
"This is the first time we have clearly seen the infrared-light echoes from multiple tidal disruption events," Sjoert van Velzen, a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University and lead author of one study, said in the statement.
The new studies use data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The NASA study led by van Velzen used these "echoes" to identify three black holes in the act of devouring stars. The second study, led by Ning Jiang, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Science and Technology of China, identified a potential fourth light echo.
Flares emitted from stellar tidal disruptions are extremely energetic and "destroy any dust" that is within the immediate neighborhood, according to NASA. However, a patchy, spherical web of dust that resides a few trillion miles (half a light-year) from the black hole can survive the flare and absorb light released from the star being gobbled up.
"The black hole has destroyed everything between itself and this dust shell," van Velzen said in the statement. "It's as though the black hole has cleaned its room by throwing flames."
The absorbed light heats the more distant dust, which in turn gives off infrared radiation that the WISE instrument can measure. These emissions can be detected for up to a year after the flare is at its brightest, the statement said. Scientists are able to characterize and locate the dust by measuring the delay between the original light flare and the subsequent echoes, according to the NASA study, which will be published in the Astrophysical Journal.
"Our study confirms that the dust is there, and that we can use it to determine how much energy was generated in the destruction of the star," Varoujan Gorjian, an astronomer at JPL and co-author of the paper led by van Velzen, said in the statement.
Hubble Telescope Snaps Best-Ever Views of a Comet's Disintegration
Hubble Telescope Snaps Best-Ever Views of a Comet's Disintegration
By Calla Cofield, Space.com Staff Writer
Building-size chunks of rock were photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope in January as they broke free from a disintegrating comet zooming around the sun. The relatively rare images are providing insight into how these icy space rocks die.
The new images show a large, bright speck of light — the solid core of Comet 332P (short for 332P/Ikeya-Murakami) — trailed by a parade of smaller bluish-white dots. Over the course of three days, those small dots can be seen falling farther behind the comet's main body.
Comet 332P is currently about the length of five football fields, but observations going back to 2010 show that its size has been deteriorating for some time. The comet and its debris trail are visible because they are made partly of ices that reflect sunlight. As comets approach the sun and temperatures start to rise, those frozen materials can vaporize, and the comet itself essentially becomes unglued. Currently, Comet 332P has a debris trail stretching about 3,000 miles (4,800 km) behind it, scientists said. [5 Amazing Facts about the Comet-Chasing Rosetta Spacecraft]
The new images of 332P are fascinating for scientists because there aren't many clear, direct observations of this type of cometary death; the photos make up "one of the sharpest, most detailed observations of a comet breaking apart," according to a statement from the Space Telescope Science institute (STScI) in Baltimore, which manages Hubble's science operations.
The images of the comet breaking apart were taken when the space rock was just outside the orbit of Mars, about 150 million miles (240 million km) from the sun, and only 67 million miles (108 million km) from Earth, researchers said.
Comet 332P is estimated to be about 4.5 billion years old, or about the age of Earth and the other bodies in the solar system. Comets originate in the Kuiper Belt, the sphere of rocky, icy objects beyond the orbit of Neptune. At some point, gravitational disturbances pushed Comet 322P much closer to the sun, where the additional heat began to write its destruction. (The comet currently circles the sun once every six years.)
"We know that comets sometimes disintegrate, but we don't know much about why or how they come apart," David Jewitt, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California at Los Angeles, said in the statement. "The trouble is that it happens quickly and without warning, and so we don't have much chance to get useful data. With Hubble's fantastic resolution, not only do we see really tiny, faint bits of the comet, but we can watch them change from day to day. And that has allowed us to make the best measurements ever obtained on such an object."
Jewitt is lead author on a paper analyzing the Hubble observations that appeared today (Sept. 15) in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. He and his colleagues applied to have Hubble turn its eye on the comet after other observations showed that it might be breaking apart.
In the new images, the larger bright spot of Comet 332P's nucleus (the rocky core of a comet) is estimated to be about 1,600 feet long (490 meters), with a debris trail. But observations in 2015 by the Pan-STARRS (Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System) telescope in Hawaii showed that there might be another chunk of rock very close to the comet's nucleus and almost the same size, suggesting 332P may have split nearly in half at some point in the past.
With the new observations, scientists are observing this rocky destruction as it happens. The chunks of rock visible in the Hubble images range in size from about 65 to 200 feet wide (20 to 60 meters), and are moving away from each other at "a few miles per hour," according to the statement, or "about the walking speed of an adult."
Observations of comets like Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko show that when icy comet materials heat up and turn into vapor, they can spray out of cracks and crevices in the comet's surface, creating jets. In Comet 332P, the jets of material act like engines that get the comet spinning faster and faster. The uptick then loosens chunks of material that fall off the comet.
"In the past, astronomers thought that comets die when they are warmed by sunlight, causing their ices to simply vaporize away," Jewitt said in the statement. "Either nothing would be left over or there would be a dead hulk of material where an active comet used to be. But it's starting to look like fragmentation may be more important. In Comet 332P we may be seeing a comet fragmenting itself into oblivion."
Scientists have previously captured images of debris breaking free of a comet, but the new Hubble observations are notable because they followed the comet long enough to show the "evolution of the fragments over time," Harold Weaver, a research professor of physics and astronomy at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, and an author on the new paper, said in the statement.
Comet 332P may not be long for this world (at least on the scale of a typical comet lifetime). The authors of the new paper estimate that another 25 outbursts will break the comet's nucleus apart completely.
"If the comet has an episode every six years, the equivalent of one orbit around the sun, then it will be gone in 150 years," Jewitt said. "It's the blink of an eye, astronomically speaking. The trip to the inner solar system has doomed it."
Now that the smoke has died down surrounding the incident, Elon Musk’s company has announced a new timeframe for launching another rocket.
“We’re anticipating getting back to flight, being down for about three months, and then back to flight in November, the November timeframe,” said Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president at a meeting for World Satellite Business Week in Paris yesterday. “We’ll launch on the east coast from pad 39A in that timeframe, and then Vandenberg will be available for our customers.”
While it is unclear which SpaceX rocket will be launched in two months, we do know it won’t be taking place at Cape Canaveral where the explosion occurred.
Instead, the launch site will be pad 39A, which is located at the Kennedy Space Center.
