UFO Caught In Early Morning Over India On Sept 25, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Caught In Early Morning Over India On Sept 25, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Sept 25, 2016 Location of sighting: India This UFO sometimes looks like a pentagon, and other times like a hexagon. It was seen over India this week in the early morning. A lot of aliens think that flying between 12 midnight and 5 am lowers the risk of being seen and allows them to do what they got to do. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states: Early morning around 5 am 25 sept 2016 over India.
This UFO is very similar to the UFO seen on top of the World Trade Center Memorial light back on Sept 11, 2016. The shape and and size would match. It looks like a person in a white cloak and a hoodie looking down at the ground. Scott C. Waring
News states: Peter Lee, from Radcliffe, Greater Manchester, was out at 2pm on September 18 with his daughters when he spotted the circular silver shape hovering in the sky. The trio were watching planes fly overhead as they waited to catch a tram when the unidentified object drifted into sight and left them open mouthed. Mr Lee, 57, said: "We always look at planes as they fly over and then there it was - we all saw it. "It was thousands of feet up in the air, higher than some of the planes, and was moving very, very slowly. "It was so unusual looking I made sure I took a couple of pictures. "A lot of people have said it's a helium balloon, but they don't go that far.
"When you look at the pictures it's right above the clouds." It's like everything else, such as ghosts, you don't believe it until you see it. Keen amateur photographer Mr Lee said that his camera goes everywhere with him, much to his daughters' mirth. Mr Lee said: "My daughters take the mickey that I always have my Canon camera with me - it comes with me everywhere. "They laugh because I take pictures of everything - so they weren't surprised I took this." Declassified MOD files released in 2013 revealed that UFO reports had been made in several areas of Greater Manchester over the years, including Radcliffe.
Nan Madol is the only ancient city ever built upon a coral reef. It is comprised of a set of almost 100 stone and coral fill platforms atop artificial islands separated by narrow channels and enclosed by an outer seawall and includes the remains of stone palaces, temples, tombs and residential domains. Yet despite the enormity of the undertaking in building the city, no records exist as to when exactly it was built, where the enormous rocks came from, how they were transported there, and for what reason it was constructed on top of a reef.
UNESCO has finally paid attention to the immense historical significance of Nan Madol, a mysterious ancient coral reef city off the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia, by placing it on the World Heritage List. Describing it as a “globally significant masterpiece of creative genius”, Nan Madol is an engineering marvel, but it has not yet given up all its secrets.
Evidence of the early human activity on the islands dates back to the first or second century BC, but it is not known exactly when the construction of the artificial islets started. Theories range from the 5 th to the 11 th century AD, purportedly built as a ritual and ceremonial centre for the ruling chiefs of the Saudeleur Dynasty. UNESCO dates the site at 1200 to 1500 AD. The Saudeleur dynasty was the first organized government uniting the people of Pohnpei island, ruling from around 1100 to around 1628 AD. However, this era was preceded by the Mwehin Kawa (“period of building”) and Mwehin Aramas (“period of peopling”).
The name Nan Madol means “spaces between” and refers to the canals that criss-cross the ruins. However, its traditional name was Soun Nan-leng (Reef of Heaven), according to Gene Ashby in his book Pohnpei, An Island Argosy .
The total area of the enclosure is 75 hectares. The foundations of the islets were constructed of huge basalt boulders, on which walled enclosures were built using columnar basalt in a header and stretcher pattern in-filled with coral rubble. Walls were as high as 15 metres and up to 5 metres thick. The average weight of each stone is 5 tons, with some weighing as much as 50 tons and it has been estimated that the total weight of the columnar basalt that makes up the city’s construction is up to 750,000 metric tons.
Probable quarry sites around the island have been identified, but the exact origin of the stones used in the construction of Nan Madol is yet to be determined. No quarries exist in the immediate vicinity meaning that the stones must have been transported to their current location. What is even more incredible is that the builders managed to accomplish the task without pulleys, levers or metal to aid in the process.
Most Pohnpeians still believe the legend that Nan Madol began with the arrival of twin sorcerers Olisihpa and Olosohpa from the mythical Western Katau. The twins were said to be much taller than native Pohnpeians. The brothers sought a place to build an altar so that they could worship Nahnisohn Sahpw, the god of agriculture. The two sorcerers successfully built an altar at Nan Madol, where they performed rituals to levitate the huge stones with the aid of a flying dragon. When Olisihpa died of old age, Olosohpa became the first Saudeleur.
Historians and archaeologists have suggested that they huge rocks may have been floated via raft to the islets, however, the exact means of engineering with which the massive stones were moved from their distant quarries, over land and water, and erected on the reef complexes is still unknown.
According to UNESCO, Nan Madol represents a “globally significant masterpiece of creative genius” because it exhibits the most perfectly preserved habitation, leadership and ceremonial plan of an architectural ensemble of the Pacific region. In a statement published on their website, they write: “The huge scale of the edifices, their technical sophistication and the concentration of megalithic structures bear testimony to complex social and religious practices of the island societies of the period.”
Nan Madol housed the ruling elite caste of Saudeleur dynasty and was used as a political and ceremonial seat of power. As a means of control of their subjects, Saudeleur rulers forced local chieftains to leave their home villages and move to the city where their activities could be more closely observed.
The islets to the northeast, particularly Nan Douwas, were used for rituals and ceremonies, while over time all the seawall islets (nearly 60) functioned as burial places. Other islets were administrative and residential, and some served special purpose, such as food preparation, coconut oil production or canoe construction.
Plan of Nan Madol. May by Holger Beher (Wikimedia Commons)
Rule was maintained by one man, the Saudeleur, at Nan Madol. The land, its contents, and its inhabitants were owned by the Saudeleur ruler, who leased the land to landlord classes overseeing commoners harvesting the land. The commoners were required to present the ruler with frequent tributes of fruit and fish. The logistical difficulties of the site, which involved having no fresh water and no place capable of growing crops, were not a problem for the Saudeleur because the people of the islands brought everything that was needed.
The Saudeleur dynasty ruled the islands for more than a millennium, yet there is nothing left of them but legend and the crumbling black basalt ruins. No art, no carvings, no writing. The only knowledge that remains is that which has been passed down through oral history by the Pohnpeians, who describe the Saudeleurs as deeply religious, tyrannial and cruel, and the remains of their civilization are often viewed with fear and superstition by modern-day Pohnpeians.
According to local lore, the ultimate downfall of the Saudeleurs was their increasingly oppressive rule and centralised social system. The dynasty was toppled in 1628 by the semi-mythical warrior Isokelekel, who came from the island of Kosrae 530 km to the east, creating the modern Nahnmwarki system of tribal chiefdom that has existed in one form or another to this day in the island’s five municipalities.
There is great variation among sources for the exact events before, during and after the invasion of Nan Madol by Isokelekel; at least 13 different accounts of the war have been published and told by the the Pohnpeians. In most versions of the legend, the Saudeleur ruler had become oppressive and its lords had offended the Thunder God revered by the Pohnpeians. The Thunder God left Pohnpei for Kosrae, where he impregnated a human by feeding her a lime. This union produced the semi-divine Isokelekel, who in the womb knew his destiny of vengeance.
There are many accounts of Isokelekel’s battle with the Saudeleur ruler. In one version, Isokelekel's warriors are aided by hidden weapons that suddenly appeared. The tide of war reversed several times, but ended against the Saudeleur, who retreated with his army into the main island of Pohnpei. Legend recounts that the battle ended with the Saudeleur lord retreating uphill to a stream, where he transformed into a fish and remains today. Isokelekel took the title of Nahnmwarki and assumed the seat of power in Nan Madol as had the Saudeleur Dynasty before him.
When the period of the Nahnmwarkis began, the new rulers at first resided at Nan Madol but they could not depend on anyone regularly supplying them with food and water and eventually they moved back to their own districts, abandoning Nan Madol forever.
By any measure, the city of Nan Madol is impressive. The work required to build it was on such an enormous scale, yet the current inhabitants of Pohnpei live in humble grass huts. What accounts for this huge contrast? More importantly, how was the city built in the first place? The fact that there are no existing records on Nan Madol means that we may never know the secrets buried within the walls of this unique coral reef city.
China has lost control of its Tiangong-1 space station
China has lost control of its Tiangong-1 space station
China launched its prototype space station called Tiangong-1 back in September 2011. The name Tiangong-1 translates to mean Heavenly Palace 1, but 5 years on from that launch and there’s nothing heavenly about the state of China’s space palace anymore. In fact, they’ve had to admit control of the space station has been lost.
Rather than stating “we’ve lots control,” Chinese officials instead have said that Tiangong-1 will fall back to Earth at some point in late 2017. Some point is the best estimate we will get as China no longer has control of the station so it will come down when it’s good and ready.
The one concern about this situation is how much of Tiangong-1 won’t burn up in Earth’s atmosphere during its uncontrolled descent. Any parts that don’t will fall to Earth, and may fall on populated areas. The chances of that happening are small due to the sheer size of Earth and how much of our planet is covered in water, but the Chinese simply don’t know when re-entry will happen, so there’s no guarantees.
The last crew to visit Tiangong-1 departed in June 2013 and the station has been in sleep mode ever since while China continued to collect data about the health of its components. That data collection ended in March of this year, with the plan to perform a controlled descent and burn up in Earth’s atmosphere. But clearly something went wrong.
Meanwhile, China’s Tiangong-2 (Heavenly Palace 2) space station launched last week on September 15 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center located in the Gobi desert. Several manned missions are planned to visit the new station.
Scientists Simulating March Mission is long Hawaii for end-to-year in isolation
Scientists Simulating March Mission is long Hawaii for end-to-year in isolation
US, French and German volunteers have been living on freeze-dried food and trying to avoid personal conflicts on the red planet-like slopes of Mauna Loa
Six scientists are close to wrapping up a year of near isolation in a Mars simulation on a Hawaii mountain.
They manage limited resources while conducting research and working to avoid personal conflicts. Communication is delayed by 20 minutes, the length it would take to relay messages from Mars.
Kim Binsted, principal investigator for the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (Hi-Seas), said this simulation was the second-longest of its kind after a mission that lasted 520 days in Russia.
“They’re doing OK, as far as we can tell,” Binsted said of the scientists.
Previous simulations in the Mauna Loa dome have lasted four to eight months. Mauna Loa soil is similar to what would be found on Mars. The area’s high elevation means almost no plant growth. Nasa funded the study run through the University of Hawaii.
The scientists will have access to fresh produce and other foods not available to them in the dome when the simulation ends on 28 August.
“They are clamoring to get into the ocean,” Binsted said. “I think they will enjoy having a beer as well.”
The current simulation has been the fourth and longest, with volunteers from France, Germany and the United States, including a soil scientist, an astronomer, a physicist and an astrobiologist, who have survived on freeze-dried foods for months. An eight-month simulation starts in January.
Crewmembers aboard the starship Enterprise on the iconic TV series "Star Trek" could "beam up" from planets to starships, making travel between great distances look easy. While these capabilities are clearly fictional, researchers have now performed "quantum teleportation" of laser pulses over several miles within two city networks of fiber optics.
Although the method described in the research will not replace city subways or buses with transporter booths, it could help lead to hack-proof telecommunications networks, as well as a "quantum internet" to help extraordinarily powerful quantum computers talk to one another.
Teleporting an object from one point in the universe to another without it moving through the space in between may sound like science fiction, but quantum physicists have actually been experimenting with quantum teleportation since 1998. The current distance record for quantum teleportation — a feat announced in 2012 — is about 89 miles (143 kilometers), between the two Canary Islands of La Palma and Tenerife, off the northwest coast of Africa. [10 Futuristic Technologies 'Star Trek' Fans Would Love to See]
Spooky action
Quantum teleportation relies on the bizarre nature of quantum physics, which finds that the fundamental building blocks of the universe, such as subatomic particles, can essentially exist in two or more places at once. Specifically, quantum teleportation depends on a strange phenomenon known as "quantum entanglement," in which objects can become linked and influence each other instantaneously, no matter how far apart they are.
Currently, researchers cannot teleport matter (say, a human) across space, but they can use quantum teleportation to beam information from one place to another. The quantum teleportation of an electron, for example, would first involve entangling a pair of electrons. Next, one of the two electrons — the one to be teleported — would stay in one place while the other electron would be physically transported to whatever destination is desired.
Then, the fundamental details or "quantum state" of the electron to be teleported are analyzed — an act that also destroys its quantum state. Finally, that data is sent to the destination, where it can be used on the other electron to recreate the first one, so that it is indistinguishable from the original. For all intents and purposes, that electron has teleported. (Because the data is sent using regular signals such as light pulses or electrons, quantum teleportation can proceed no faster than the speed of light.)
Now, two research groups independently report quantum teleportation over several miles of fiber-optic networks in the cities of Hefei, China, and Calgary, Alberta. The scientists detailed their findings online Sept. 19 in two independent papers in the journal Nature Photonics.
Futuristic tech
Quantum teleportation is the key to many potential future technologies. For instance, quantum cryptography could use quantum teleportation to transmit data securely between two points in a way that can automatically detect any intrusion. In addition, people could use quantum teleportation in a "quantum internet" to share data with quantum computers, which previous research suggested could run more calculations in an instant than there are atoms in the universe. [8 Ways You Can See Einstein's Theory of Relativity in Real Life]
"In the future, if you have a quantum computer, if users wanted to use it, they could send data to the quantum computer and get results, just like with modern cloud computation," Qiang Zhang, a quantum engineer at the University of Science and Technology of China and co-senior author of the Hefei work, told Live Science.
Each of the two quantum-teleportation experiments involved communication across up to 7.7 miles (12.5 km) between three distinct locations to mimic the structure of future quantum networks. The only previous experiment with such a three-lab setup involved distances of less than 0.6 miles (1 km).
Previous experiments involving a three-lab setup used pulses of visible light, which cannot travel great distances within optical fibers. In contrast, the new studies employed the kind of infrared light often used in everyday telecommunications networks, which can travel farther. They also used pre-existing fiber-optic networks in each city.
Long-distance quantum teleportation involves laser beams that are synchronized until they are indistinguishable from each other down to the level of single photons, even after zipping through several miles of fiber optics laid within changing environments. Both research teams benefited from recent improvements in single-photon detectors made by the telecommunications industry, the researchers said.
"We are proud that the results observed in field tests have not degraded compared with those observed in laboratory tests," Qi-Chao Sun, a quantum engineer at the University of Science and Technology of China and lead author of the Hefei study, told Live Science. "This means that our system is robust against noises arising from complex environments in the real world."
The Calgary experiment had a faster teleportation rate of about 17 photons per minute (or 1,020 per hour), compared to about two photons per hour for the Hefei experiment. However, the procedures the Calgary researchers carried out to accomplish these teleportation speeds limit its immediate practical applications, Frédéric Grosshans, a quantum information researcher at the University of Paris-Sud in France, said in a review of both teams' studies.
Both research teams also used a variety of methods to keep lasers synchronized with one another. Each group used a different technique, which suggests that elements from both strategies could be combined for even better results, Grosshans wrote in his review.
One future direction will be to extend quantum teleportation networks "to 100-kilometer [60 miles] scales, which will allow intercity quantum teleportation," Sun said. This will involve improving detector efficiency and suppressing sources of interference, Sun added.
NASA PICTURE THAT REVEALS POSSIBLE 'ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE' ON MARS (VIDEO)
NASA PICTURE THAT REVEALS POSSIBLE 'ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE' ON MARS (VIDEO)
Possibly a 'Archaeological Site' spotted in NASA "Global Mars Surveyor Mission" photo.
Mars Global Surveyor was the first successful U.S. mission launched to Mars since the Viking mission in 1976.
MGS arrived at Mars on September 11, 1997, and has contributed a multitude of findings, including signs of past, persistent water such as an ancient delta and currently active water features in the gullies of canyon walls.
It completed its primary mission in January 2001 and was in its third extended mission phase when, on 2 November 2006, the spacecraft failed to respond to messages and commands. A faint signal was detected three days later which indicated that it had gone into safe mode. Attempts to recontact the spacecraft and resolve the problem failed, and NASA officially ended the mission in January 2007.
From all the photos i have seen from Mars Global Surveyor this is probably the most intriguing photo I've seen on Mars, looks like a square fort ruins or an ancient city surrounded by huge walls made by a martian ancient civilization.
A ‘Star Child’ Speaks out: I can ‘heal water,’ calls for society to WAKE UP
A ‘Star Child’ Speaks out: I can ‘heal water,’ calls for society to WAKE UP
The young star child receives messages in languages ‘not from Earth’ and understands what they are saying to her. She says that they are important and humanity must wake up.
In recent years, people are starting to think about alien life on a whole other level. Thinking about life, we are coming to accept that it is possible that there are things in the universe that go beyond our current understanding. Life does not have to be physical in order to exist.
While the story might sound fascinating and unbelievable to some, people around the world are convinced that among us live Star Children, and Indigo children.
Previously we wrote about Boriska; a young boy said to have lived on Mars and reincarnated on Earth. According to reports Boris Kipriyanovich, who lives in Russia’s Volgograd region, reincarnated as an Indigo Child.
His knowledge and skills have fascinated not only his parents but researchers who have studied the young boy.
In this article, we take a look at another fascinating story which speaks of another Star Child.
According to an article from higher journeys, a nine-year-old star child claims she can heal water and is asking humanity to wake up finally.
While the story may sound ludicrous to some who do not believe in the existence of such beings, the text is written below (an Excerpt from the forthcoming book The New Human by Mary Rodwell) is certainly worth reading.
While many of us will remain skeptical about such claims, the article delivers a powerful message.
“Poor us. poor kids who come to volunteer; we have such a difficult time ahead of us, a real fight. I am here to help my family ‘wake up,’ EVERYONE is sleeping.”
According to the mother of a nine-year-old child, Cathy speaks ‘star languages’ that can heal WATER.
“My nine-year-old daughter speaks ‘star languages’ to heal water. I live in Northern Europe and have four children. At the time of my first pregnancy, a ‘voice’ told me my children were not mine. They would only come through me. These children belong to no one. It wasn’t until recently that I was aware there were such things as extra-terrestrials.”
“My nine-year-old daughter is a special girl who finds the conventional world and rules difficult. She asks me why isn’t she allowed to do things her own way. Cathy has healing abilities and dictated some healing words in an ET language to purify water. I noticed the water actually tasted different afterward. She says that Star languages are from a place outside of the Universe.”
Healing water? According to a researcher from Europe, there are ways we can energize water.
Dr. Ohlson States:
“As a scientist, the spiral formations I’ve been working with in my water research, such as loading energy back in water, helps healing recharges and strengthens the energy field, the aura. Healing works on a cellular level, whether you believe it or not. The healing from my hands affected the protein binding to a gene P53, which plays a role in turning genes on and off. Rightly used, it could be bliss for humanity in rebuilding our earth.”
Furthermore, Cathy describes how she has information passed on to her through (books, as she calls them) which she says contain valuable information for humanity:
The red book is about creation and our origins.
The brown one is about different planets and the life there.
The light green one is about nature, and how we can make contact with plants and animals and understand nature.
The dark green one is about the body, how it really works and how we get it to evolve.
The blue book is about light and truth.
The red-brown book she can’t open yet, because ‘a dragon took the key’ from her sometime in the 1700s.
The black book explains about darkness and evil and is dangerous.

A TOP-SECRET, black budget Space program built with reverse-engineered ALIEN TECH
A TOP-SECRET, black budget Space program built with reverse-engineered ALIEN TECH
There is ample evidence to support theories that suggest there is a top-secret, black-budget space program built with reverse engineered alien technology. In fact, a 1997 US Senate report accurately describe the nature behind these as: “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress.”
Does the existence of a top-secret, black-budget space program sound ludicrous? Well, to some it may seem so, but the truth is that there are a lot of things that most of us have absolutely no idea about.
Only in the past couple of years have researchers, former astronauts and military officials opened out about Alien life, UFO’s and otherworldly technology, helping us open our eyes to what is really out there.
The easiest things most of us can do is completely dismiss anything related to UFO’s and aliens thinking it’s a complete hoax.
The truth, however, is that there are things out there that deserve to be properly researched.
Even though there is an ample amount of evidence related to UFOs, Alien tech, and life elsewhere in the cosmos, society has continued to ignore the facts, undermining the idea we are not alone in the universe.
But interestingly, even though we have tried very hard to answer in the last couple of decades whether or not we are alone in the universe, the debate about Alien life isn’t something new to modern times.
Since recorded history, people have asked what if somewhere out there is life similar to that on Earth.
“To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow.” – Metrodorus, Greek philosopher of the fourth century B.C.
The evidence is here, and we only have to be willing to read, research and think about it without prejudice.
“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, Et’s, etc…They are visiting Earth now; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking.” – Theodor C. Loder III, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire.
But perhaps one of the best people to say what’s really going on out there is Dr. Farouk El Baz, a NASA scientist who said that: “Not every discovery has been announced.”
But despite all of the above, society has remained cautious and skeptical when it comes to Alien life, Alien technology, and beings visiting us from elsewhere in the universe.
Why? Mostly because of a fake alien propaganda that has been ‘inducted’ into our lives; Little Green Martians, flying saucers, and the absurd amount of ‘hoaxes’ that circulate the internet.
The truth is that behind all of this, BIG things are happening without us even noticing.
Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” –Former head of CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960(source)
Professor Hermann Oberth is a German rocket expert considered as the founding father of the space age, rocketry and space travel.
In 1955, he was invited by Dr. Werner von Braun to the United States where he participated with the Army Ballistic Missile Agency and NASA. A year before that, Oberth showed an active interest in UFOs.
On one occasion he said:
It is my thesis that flying saucers are real and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent ‘observers’ who are members of a race that may have been investigating Earth for centuries.
These so-called top-secret, black budget space programs are real and usually referred to as Special Access Programs (SAP).
While these programs do not exist publicly, they are there behind the scenes. Some call them ‘deep black programs.’
Interestingly, a 1997 US Senate report accurately describe the nature behind them as: “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress.” (source)
Even more fascinating is the fact that in 1993, during a lecture at the UCLA Alumni Center, Ben Rich, former CEO of Lockheed Martin held a very interesting speech about technological advancements in space engineering in a period of forty years. He concluded his speech with the following quote: “
We now have the technology to take ET home.” – Ben Rich, CEO of Lockheed Skunk Works, 1993
Looking more into the subject of Alien technology and reverse-engineered alien technology we find that Jack A. Shulman, president of American Computer said that the invention of the transistor may have been inspired by the study of the remains of a crashed alien spacecraft, basically reverse engineered technology.
Alien Technology and humans reverse engineering it was first mentioned in 1997 when, American Computer Company (ACC) suggested the possibility that the study of the remains of a crashed alien spaceship in Roswell in 1947, or another crashed Alien spaceship might have been definitive for the development of the transistor, made in 1948 by Shockley, Bardeen and Brattain doctors in the Research Center of Electronic Circuits at Bell Laboratories.
Egyptoloog: “Piramides en Sfinx zijn veel ouder dan wetenschappers willen toegeven”
Egyptoloog: “Piramides en Sfinx zijn veel ouder dan wetenschappers willen toegeven”
In deze fascinerende vijf uur durende video lopen we een dag mee met Emmy-winnaar en egyptoloog John Anthony West, die samen met geoloog Robert Schoch de legendarische film ‘The Mystery of the Sphinx’ maakte.
In die film toonde het tweetal aan dat de Sfinx van Gizeh en de piramides veel ouder zijn dan mainstream wetenschappers willen toegeven. Na een korte introductie presenteert West de nieuwste ontdekkingen die zijn achtergehouden voor het volk.
Dr. Schoch zei begin jaren negentig al dat de Sfinx duizenden jaren ouder moet zijn dan algemeen wordt aangenomen. Hij baseerde zich daarbij op de erosiepatronen op de Sfinx en omliggende rotsen. Volgens hem dateert het bouwwerk mogelijk van 6000 tot 12.000 voor Christus.
Bij nadere inspectie ontdekte Schoch bovendien dat farao Khafre de Sfinx op een bepaald moment heeft opgeknapt. Door de tijd heen is het uiterlijk van het bouwwerk meerdere keren veranderd, zo zegt hij. Hij stelt dat de Sfinx oorspronkelijk een leeuw is geweest.
De van oorsprong Belgische ingenieur Robert Bauval en Graham Hancock hebben deze theorie voor een breder publiek toegankelijk gemaakt. In de video gaat West ook in op de zondvloed, de betekenis van magie, geometrie en de vele zaken die verborgen worden gehouden.

VIDEO: Student maakt per ongeluk revolutionaire batterij die een mensenleven meegaat
Nooit meer batterijen kopen! Wetenschappers van de Universiteit van Californië in Irvine hebben een batterij ontwikkeld die een mensenleven mee kan gaan. De meeste batterijen gaan maar 5000 tot 7000 cycli mee, maar de Amerikaanse onderzoekers hebben er één gemaakt die berekend is op 200.000 cycli.
Vijfdejaars student Mya Le Thai ontdekte bij toeval dat batterijen veel langer meegaan als je het medium in batterijen – elektrolyt – in gelvorm gebruikt. Elektrolyt in gelvorm blijkt namelijk uitermate geschikt als beschermlaag voor nanodraden, draden die duizend keer dunner zijn dan een menselijke haar en die heel goed elektriciteit kunnen geleiden.
Nooit vervangen

Le Thai ontdekte dat de nanodraden met gel veel flexibeler worden en niet zo snel kapot gaan. Zo stuitte de student onverwacht op een mogelijke manier om batterijen te maken die nooit hoeven te worden vervangen.
Wetenschappers experimenteren al geruime tijd met het gebruik van nanodraden in batterijen. Normaal gesproken zijn de draadjes extreem breekbaar. De wetenschappers losten dit probleem op door een gouden nanodraad te coaten in mangaanoxide en het geheel onder te brengen in een elektrolyt die is gemaakt van een plexiglas-achtige gel.
Experimenteel stadium
De technologie bevindt zich echter nog in een experimenteel stadium en er zijn dan ook nog geen producten op de markt. Het onderzoek is gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift ACS Energy Letters.

RUIMTEVLOOT NABIJ ZON VERWIKKELD IN STARWARS? ( VIDEO )
RUIMTEVLOOT NABIJ ZON VERWIKKELD IN STARWARS? ( VIDEO )
Eerder deze week was een enorme ruimtevloot zichtbaar die zich in de buurt van onze zon bevond.
Nu duiken er opnames op, waarbij één van de grotere schepen een laserstraal lijkt af te vuren op een ander ruimteschip.
Er gebeuren op dit moment zonder enige twijfel vreemde dingen in ons zonnestelsel. Nadat in eerste instantie een grote vloot is gesignaleerd nabij de zon waarover wij eerder schreven, komt er nu weer een vreemde opname beschikbaar.
Het is dit keer niet de bekende Streetcap1 die de ontdekking heeft gedaan, maar een collega die eveneens dagelijks alle beelden bekijkt en die bekend staat onder de gebruikersnaam van Myunhauzen74.
De beelden zien er als volgt uit:
Zoals te zien op de beelden is er zoveel detail waarneembaar, dat we hiermee flares of ieder ander natuurlijk verschijnsel kunnen uitsluiten.
De video met meer beelden hieronder is getiteld: Star Wars, met andere woorden een oorlog die woedt in de ruimte.
Hij denkt dat het een soort straal is die door het grote moederschip wordt gebruikt om de kleinere ufo bij de zon weg te trekken. Zijn theorie is dat deze kleinere UFO’s naar de zon worden gestuurd om te tanken, waarna ze volgeladen met energie weer terugkeren naar het moederschip.
In een eerder artikel hebben ook wij al dergelijke beelden laten zien, zoals de volgende:
Oorlog of tanken bij de zon?
Misschien zijn er ook nog wel andere mogelijkheden, maar er is zonder twijfel een verhoogde buitenaardse activiteit waar te nemen in de buurt van onze zon.
HEBBEN BUITENAARDSEN AL VOLLLEDIGE CONTROLE OVER PLANEET AARDE?
HEBBEN BUITENAARDSEN AL VOLLLEDIGE CONTROLE OVER PLANEET AARDE?
Een voormalig bankier van Wall Street vraagt zich in alle ernst af of het grootste deel van de schulden op deze wereld in handen is van buitenaardsen.
De bankier die zich dit afvraagt, is niet dom, heeft elf jaar op Wall Street gewerkt en komt tot de conclusie dat er geld van deze planeet verdwijnt.
We weten dat de bewoners van deze planeet hopeloos gevangen zitten in een web van schulden, gecreëerd door de bij ons bekende financiële elite in de achtergrond.
Maar, houdt het daar op of gaat het nog verder, tot zelfs nog buiten onze planeet?
De schuld op deze wereld is zo groot dat het rekenkundig gezien volkomen onmogelijk is om die ooit terug betalen. De CIA is soms nuttig, want ze houden ook cijfers bij, zoals ook die van de totale schuld van de bewoners van deze planeet.
Zij schatten het totale schuldbedrag van de aardbewoners op 90 biljoen dollar oftewel 90.000 miljard dollar oftewel 90.000.000.000.000 dollar.
Die schuld is hoger dan het bedrag dat de gehele planeet in een jaar verdiend. Als we de productiviteit van iedere man, vrouw en kind van deze planeet bij elkaar optellen, komen we aan een bedrag van ongeveer 74.000 miljard euro.
Maar, wat niemand eigenlijk weet is: Aan wie is de wereld het bedrag verschuldigd dat groter is dan de complete aardse jaarproductie?
Wanneer we kijken naar landen zoals Griekenland die door de bankiers worden gedwongen om op een dusdanige manier te bezuinigen dat de complete maatschappij zo goed als instort, dan is het duidelijk dat het systeem van een valuta dat op schuld is gebaseerd, wordt gebruikt om landen te veroveren en van mensen slaaf te maken.
Het systeem van zogenaamd fiatgeld dat wij hebben is zo absurd, zo tegenstrijdig met menselijke vooruitgang, dat ieder zinnig denkend mens zich afvraagt waarom die enorme schuldenberg niet met één pennenstreek kan worden weggepoetst, waardoor de wereldeconomie weer opnieuw kan gaan groeien.
Het kan heel gemakkelijk worden afgeschreven zoals dat al werd geïmpliceerd door de voormalige Voorzitter van de Amerikaanse Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan.
Zo zei hij:
“De Verenigde Staten kan iedere schuld die ze hebben, betalen, want wij kunnen altijd meer geld bijdrukken om dat te doen. Dus, er is nul procent kans dat Amerika ooit in gebreke zal blijven met betalen.”
Met andere woorden, het geld, wat gelijk staat aan schuld, betekent helemaal niets. De enige waarde die het heeft komt van overheden wereldwijd die de wet en geweld der autoriteit gebruiken om hun burgers te dwingen om dit soort frauduleuze verplichtingen te betalen.
John Perkins die bekend staat als Economic Hit Man zegt het volgende:
“Ik dacht na over de basisgereedschappen die EHM (economic hit men) in mijn tijd gebruikten. Frauduleuze economie waaronder verdraaide financiële analyses, opgeschroefde projecties en vervalste boekhoudkundige cijfers: geheimhouding, misleiding, bedreigingen, omkoperijen en afpersing. Valse beloftes die we nooit van plan waren na te komen en het tot slaaf maken door schuld en angst. Deze zelfde gereedschappen worden vandaag de dag gebruikt”.
Voormalig Wall Street bankier en overheidsmedewerker Catherine Austin Fitts is na jaren en jaren onderzoek tot de conclusie gekomen dat het heel goed mogelijk is dat de wereldwijde schuld verschuldigd is aan entiteiten van buiten deze aarde.
Zo zegt ze:
“Is de aarde een open of een gesloten economie? Ik ben naar de business-school geweest, ik heb elf jaar op Wall Street gewerkt en weet je, ik ben mijn leven lang bezig geweest met economie en de hele tijd werd mij voorgehouden dat de aarde een gesloten economisch systeem heeft. Dus, als wij schuld creëren, dan zijn wij dit schuldig aan andere mensen. Als wij aandelen uitgeven, dan zijn andere mensen eigenaar van die aandelen.
Maar, als je kijkt naar al de economische ervaring die ik heb gehad in overheidsdienst, in het zakenleven en bij de bank, dan zal ik je vertellen dat ik, als je mij vraagt om het economische model op aarde te verklaren, het volgende zal zeggen: “De planeet aarde is een onroerend goed investeringsfonds, omdat we ieder jaar een dividend uitkeren en ik weet niet waar het naartoe gaat”.
Catherine weet het antwoord op die vraag ook niet, maar feit is dat er ieder jaar een fiks deel van de wereldproductiviteit in het niets verdwijnt. Het verdwijnt en wordt nergens verantwoord.
Zelfs overheidsinstanties die moeten bijhouden wat er met het geld gebeurt, kunnen deze vraag niet beantwoorden. Het geld verdwijnt eenvoudigweg, de schuld groeit exponentieel en niemand kan verklaren wie de begunstigde is.
Catherine zegt verder: “Ik was in staat om fantastische statistieken boven water te halen over wie de schuld had uitgegeven, maar wat ik ook deed, ik kwam er niet achter wie de eigenaar is van die schuld.
Ik weet dat ze controle hebben. En zij hebben controle door de schuld, want dat is hoe je op onzichtbare wijze controle krijgt over een bedrijf.
Wie is eigenaar van de schuld? Zijn het mensen of is het iets of iemand anders?”
“Sommige mensen zeggen dat goud de valuta is, waardoor wij over de hele planeet kunnen handelen, maar hoe ik ook probeer, ik kom er niet achter hoeveel goud er is op aarde. Jarenlang heb ik geprobeerd om dit uit te zoeken, maar het lukt mij niet.
In 2011 manipuleerde iemand de prijs van goud naar beneden en bracht toen de grootste goudhoeveelheid ooit in de open economie. Er is niemand op onze aarde die een dergelijk astronomisch grote transactie kan verklaren.
Dus, wie is er eigenaar van de schuld van de wereld? Wordt de zogenaamde elite van deze wereld op hun beurt ook bedolven onder schuldenlasten verschuldigd aan.....
Green Alien Walking On Post Office Roof Witnessed By Stephenville Police Officer, UFO Sighting News.
Green Alien Walking On Post Office Roof Witnessed By Stephenville Police Officer, UFO Sighting News
Photo recreation above, actual post office in Stephenville.
Date of sighting: 2000-2001 Location of sighting: Stephenville, Texas, USA Source: MUFON #54733 Here is a police officer report about him seeing a green glowing alien walking on the roof of the Stephenville post office. He held back this info until he was retired, which was probably a good idea, since his lively hood was at stake. Stephenville is also home of one of the move recent and mass sightings in the last 10 years...where a 300 meter rectangle UFO flew slowly over the city toward the US president Bush ranch...Bush was in office at the time, and its my personal belief that this UFO was piloted by Pres Bush himself since he has piloted other Navy jets and is a bit of a wild card...sky diving every year. So, if Bush found out about a secret gov project or alien base with a 300 meter UFO in it, what do you think would be the first think to cross his mind...thats right....I want to fly that thing! And nothing in hell or high would dare say no to that cowboy president. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states: Back in 2000 -2001 I was employed at the Police department as the patrol night shift Sergeant with the Police Department,My shift was from 7pm - 7am. On this particular night,I had been at the police department for a short break.I walked out to my patrol car and left heading east. I drove one block over and noticed something on top of the post office that caught my attention.I stopped my patrol vehicle in the street between two vacant parking lots. The post office was located one block to my north of my position. This was a cloudless night and very clear. My driver side window was down and was in direct line and view of what I was observing.I first saw something light green getting larger as it was heading across the roof of the post office toward my direction. As I watched it, I began to realize it appeared to exactly resemble a person walking. It stopped at the edge of the flat roof of the post office on the side facing me and stopped. The best description I can give of the thing I saw is the following: It appeared to be about 8 foot tall. I base this by the height of the post office wall in porportion to the things height. The body of the thing had a regular build to its height,meaning what a person who have who was in good shape. Not fat or skinny. The most extrodinary item was the thing was transparent. The lines of the thing were flourecent green with gave it somewhat of a mass but was still transparent.The thing had great 3D detail. Every feature except for the height appreared to be human. The clothing appeared to be what I would describe as a jumpsuit. But again, it was all one color and made up by its green outlines.The thing appreared bald to the best of what I remember. The thing stood at the edge and put its hands on its hips and turned its upper body a began looking back off to the west as if it was observing something. It then turned and began looking off to the east for a few seconds. All I could think was that I cant believe what Im seeing and I hope it didnt see me. A few seconds later it looked down directly at me. I didnt feel fear. I dont know if I could actually see a smile or just had that feeling like it was smiling and saying, "Well you saw me." I never felt threatened. The thing turned and began walking back the way it came. I remember saying to myself, like hell your getting away. I drove to the back side of the post office (North side). The walls to the post office are about 25 foot tall on all sides. I knew it couldnt jump down. I called the fire departemnt which is located next to the police station and told them to bring a ladder truck over to the post office because I believed someone was on the roof. Another police unit left the police department and set up watching the opposite sides of the building.About 5 minutes later the fire department arrived. I told the others to stay down and I would check the roof. I climbed up on the roof and there was nothing. I searched the spot on the roof where it was standing and the path it walked and found nothing. I believ the roof was graveled but cant remember for sure. The officer and fire department personell Im sure thought I was nuts thinking someone was up there. I dared not tell them what I saw. So I sat on this for years and only told a few close friends about the experience. Since the internet has come out I have tried to research any other sightings such as this but have found nothing.I can say this with the utmost confidence. I know what I saw. There was too much detail in the thing. This was a very clear night. The thing had the dark sky behind it so it was easy to see, not to mention its size. I have been retired from the PD for 4 years now. I run my own business and do Private Investigations and Security Contracts. If you have had any other reports like this I would GREATLY appreciate a response. This has bothered me for years and I just would like to know what yall think I saw or what it could have been. Thanks in advance! If you need an exact time and date the police department should have made a call report on the incident.The month and day above are just a guess. I cant remember. But the year should be close.
A teardrop-shaped UFO with fins has made an appearance in Auburn, Washington, according to the witness who was driving to a family members’ home. He first noticed the object at 2:18 p.m. on September 4, 2016.
On the first look, he thought it was just a stealth-type plane, but the wings or fins on the side of the flying object were something he had never seen in aircraft. He described them as fins that looked like they had bat-like points on the ends. They looked like a bat symbol almost triangular or teardrop shape, he explained.
Moments later, the witness noticed a second anomaly behind the black object. It was a strange, small form that appeared to be glimmering/glittering, according to the witness. He added that it was super sparkly, but he wasn’t able to identify it at all.
The witness described the sky as clear blue, and the object was completely black while the other shape behind it was shiny and reminded the witness of sparkly mesh netting. He wasn’t sure if the one behind was pulling or following.
Then the object and the one behind it were quickly disappeared. He tried to look everywhere – behind, sides, up, and near the road – but he wasn’t able to see it again.
The witness reported his sighting to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and his testimony could be accessed in MUFON witness reporting database, case 78929.
Beings from other planets have long been suspected perpetrators when it comes to the mysterious appearance of crop circles.
A vintage video that shows apparent UFOs circling a remote field might just prove the theory correct, according to some enthusiasts.
In the video shot in 1989, near Oliver’s Castle in Wiltshire, little white dots can be seen flying in a random manner over a deserted cornfield.
As they fly around the field, circular formations start to appear in the cornfield.
The mystery dots suddenly disappear, leaving only the bizarre circles behind.
Many believe that crop circles are signs that extraterrestrials are trying to communicate with Earthlings.
However, several scientists don’t agree with this theory, and they discredit it by arguing that there is no evidence crop circles are alien made.
Believers claim that these scientists cannot prove the crop circle-alien theory scientifically as what National Institute of Aeronautics and Space research professor has said they come to agree that the thing can’t be scientifically proven.
The mystery, therefore, continues for many years and probably in years to come. Despite controversies, videos, like this one, may resurface again sometimes in the future.
Do aliens or extraterrestrial beings exist? According to alien researchers, more than 200 extraterrestrial species visit Earth on a regular basis.
Devon residents were baffled after seeing a UFO hovering over the area. An amateur video recorded just recently shows a strange light flying in the distance. Tanya Davis, 43, and her daughter, 15, took the footage from their home in Devon. The video appears to show a white light hovering smoothly in the distance.
According to the mother and daughter, the bizarre aerial thing stayed there for about two to three minutes before it slowly disappeared.
Friends told the mother and daughter duo that the light could have originated from a drone. However, the pair was convinced that it wasn’t from a drone because it was too big and the object was silent the entire time.
Struck with fear, the pair called the nearby Exeter Airport to get an explanation for their sighting, but officials were also clueless about the light or UFO in the area.
The news comes few days after an alleged UFO was noticed orbiting the sun.
UFO enthusiasts got thrilled with the discovery of the apparent four-pronged machine orbiting the fiery star.
Conspiracy theorists claim that the large spacecraft is getting energy from the sun to refuel.
Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) cameras reportedly captured the mysterious space object. SOHO is a satellite with cameras on board, jointly ran by the European Space Agency and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Millennium Falcon Look-Alike UFO Spotted In Skies Above New York
Millennium Falcon Look-Alike UFO Spotted In Skies Above New York
A mysterious flying object was spotted in the sky over New York, and witnesses said it was definitely a UFO.
A man and his girlfriend were filming the sky when they accidentally captured a bizarre UFO on camera. The clip shows an alleged craft that has similarities to the Millennium Falcon of the Star Wars franchise.
Based on the description of the footage, the couple was coming home between 9 and 10 in the evening when they noticed a light to their left.
They described the thing as a complete lit surfaced craft. It wasn’t blinking lights, and the entire surface of it was lit up and glowing, they explained.
The video was reportedly recorded on August 4, but only recently it was shared on the Mutual UFO Network.
The man, assumed to be the one who took the footage, can be heard in the video asking his girlfriend of what was the object they just saw. The girl known only by the name Annette replied that she wasn’t sure about it, but confident that no planes fly that low.
They described the object as transparent and were certain it was a UFO watching them. The man said that the shape and the massive size of the object could not be a plane. Annette agreed to his boyfriend.
Incoming! New Warning System Tracks Potentially Dangerous Asteroids
Incoming! New Warning System Tracks Potentially Dangerous Asteroids
By Nola Taylor Redd, Space.com Contributor
On Feb. 15, 2013, a meteor exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia. Scientists created reconstructions of the meteor explosion, like this one by Sandia National Laboratory, to help refine models on the frequency of such asteroid impacts.

A new early warning system may help speed up calculations of when and where incoming asteroids could strike Earth.
By monitoring observations of newly reported space objects, a computer program called Scout can quickly identify potentially dangerous asteroids, then automatically call for follow-ups to calculate a more precise path for these bodies, researchers said.
"These are objects that observers have reported, and they suspect them to be asteroids," Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object (NEO) Studies at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, told Space.com. "They are most likely asteroids, but they need to be confirmed by other observers." [Images: Potentially Dangerous Asteroids]
While midsize asteroids are frequently identified well before they hit Earth, smaller objects can be more difficult to spot and classify ahead of time. Correctly classifying these objects and determining their orbits takes multiple observations, researchers have said. And, especially for potentially hazardous impactors, the sooner the better, the researchers said.
Immediate follow-up
On Oct. 7, 2008, an 80-ton rock plowed through Earth's atmosphere and exploded above a remote area in Sudan. The asteroid, known as 2008 TC3, was spotted just 19 hours before it reached the African desert, making this the first incoming object tracked before crashing into Earth.
But the short notice provided little time for astronomers to follow up. With this in mind, NEO researcher Davide Farnocchia, also at JPL, worked to create a program to automatically monitor new observations and alert fellow astronomers.
"If Scout had been in observation eight years ago, it would have given early warning to observers that the asteroid — eventually named 2008 TC3 — should be followed up immediately because it had the possibility of hitting Earth," Chodas said.
Another object, which crashed into Earth's atmosphere around New Year's Day in 2014, wasn't identified until after it had already collided, burning up in the air over West Africa.
"Those two events made it clear what was needed and how necessary it was to automate [the process]," Chodas said.
When astronomers spotted a 10- to 30-foot (3 to 9 meters) space rock in November 2015, Scout took only 45 minutes to determine that the object would brush past Earth without colliding, Farnocchia said at a conference earlier this year. The asteroid buzzed past Earth a day after being discovered. In contrast, 2008 TC3 wasn't confirmed as an impactor until 12 hours before it hit Sudan.
Thanks to Scout, when astronomers spot a new object, "we will know sooner that it's a hazardous object," Chodas said.
When an astronomer identifies an interesting object, he or she posts observations on a website hosted by the Minor Planet Center (MPC) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Other astronomers can use that information to study the object, learning more about it and its orbit. But all of that takes time; astronomers need to check the DPS website regularly, and if the observations were posted from different time zones, researchers might not see new ones for several hours. For objects about to collide with Earth, those hours can be critical.
Scout automatically reviews the MPC's website. When a new object is posted, it takes Scout about 10 minutes to calculate the object's potential paths. If the newfound rock has the potential to threaten the planet, Scout alerts participating astronomers by email and text of the need for follow-up observations.
Observers around the globe can then head to their telescopes, track the object and post their own updated observations on the MPC's page. Scout continues to review the page, refining its calculations of the object's orbit and continuing to send messages as long as the rock remains potentially harmful.
"In many cases, after a few more observations, we realize it's not high priority, because it's not going to come as close as suspected," Chodas said. "That happens quite often."
The warning time for an impactor varies based on how large it is and how early it is observed, Chodas. Larger objects are brighter and more likely to be picked upearlier by asteroid-search programs, he said.
At 13 feet (4.1 m) wide, 2008 TC3 was small enough to escape notice until just before it exploded over Sudan.
Some larger objects can escape notice if they follow certain paths through space. Scientists think the asteroid that exploded without warning over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk in February 2013, wounding more than 1,200 people, was about 65 feet (20 m) wide. The asteroid managed to avoid detection because it approached Earth from the sunward side and was therefore hidden by the sun's glare. [All You Need to Know About the Chelyabinsk Meteor Explosion (Video)]
Had the Chelyabinsk object been a bit larger, Chodas said, it could have potentially been detected months earlier, when it could have been seen on the nightside of Earth.
Chelyabinsk-size impactorsare rare, hitting Earth about once every 80 years or so, Chodas said. In contrast, smaller, 3-foot (1 m) objects come by fairly frequently, sometimes turning into bright fireballs as they burn up in Earth's atmosphere. Initial estimates of 2008 TC3 suggested that it had burned up completely, though these estimates were proven wrong as the asteroid rained down more than 600 chunks of rockinto the desert.
Scout tracks only objects whose status as asteroids has not yet been confirmed. Once the Minor Planet Center classifies a body as an asteroid, the object is moved to another page where it is monitored instead by a program called Sentry.
Sentry is a long-term impact-monitoring system that continues to track space objects. While Scout looks only about a month in the future, Sentry peers about a decade ahead. The newfound object should be confirmed and passed from Scout to Sentry fairly quickly, and the long-range program will then alert astronomers about future impacts, Chodas said.
"It doesn't get lost — none of the data gets lost," he said.
For pending impacts, NASA has contacts with the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency and other agencies to prepare for upcoming disasters.
"The key thing is to have a system that alerts us and alerts the observers," Chodas said.
Elon Musk Says SpaceX's New Spaceship Could Go 'Well Beyond Mars'
Elon Musk Says SpaceX's New Spaceship Could Go 'Well Beyond Mars'
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

"Mars Colonial Transporter" seems like a pretty cool name for a spaceship, but it wasn't quite ambitious enough for SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk.
"Turns out MCT can go well beyond Mars, so will need a new name," the billionaire entrepreneur said Friday (Sept. 16) via his Twitter account, @elonmusk, referring to the spaceflight system that SpaceX is building tocolonize the Red Planet.
Some of Musk's 5.24 million Twitter followers took up the challenge and offered their own suggestions, including "Indestructible II," "Millenium," "Booster McBoosterface" and "Heart of Gold." [SpaceX's Red DragonMars Mission in Images]
This last offering was also the name of a ship in Douglas Adams' iconic sci-fi novel "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," which is apparently close to Musk's heart.
"That is my favorite fictional spaceship. Powered by improbability!" Musk tweeted Friday.
But, in a series of tweets on Saturday (Sept. 17), Musk announced that he had settled on "Interplanetary Transport System," or ITS. In one of those tweets, Musk reminded his followers that SpaceX will be unveiling details of the colonial transporter next week at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Guadalajara, Mexico.
That same tweet also provided what Musk described as a preview of the IAC talk: a link to a clip from 2014's "The Lego Movie" that showed the film's 1980s astronaut character building, and flying, his Lego spaceship with great enthusiasm. (The tiny yellow fellow yells "Spaceship!" quite a bit.)
Musk has said repeatedly that he founded SpaceX in 2002 primarily to colonize Mars and thereby make humanity a multiplanet species.
The company plans to launch an uncrewed mission to the Red Planet in 2018 using SpaceX's Dragon capsule and Falcon Heavy rocket, then follow that up with additional missions every 26 months for the foreseeable future, Musk has said. (Earth and Mars align to make launches feasible just once every 26 months.)
If all goes according to plan, the Interplanetary Transport System will launch people toward the Red Planet for the first time in 2024. And, based on the new name, SpaceX may also be planning to send astronauts even farther afield in the future. We'll all just have to wait and see what Musk says during his IAC talk, which is scheduled to take place Sept. 27.
