Kan een afbeelding zijn van hond

Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    In België had je vooral BUFON of het Belgisch UFO-Netwerk, dat zich met UFO's bezighoudt. BEZOEK DUS ZEKER VOOR ALLE OBJECTIEVE INFORMATIE , enkel nog beschikbaar via Facebook en deze blog. Verder heb je ook het Belgisch-Ufo-meldpunt en Caelestia, die prachtig, doch ZEER kritisch werk leveren, ja soms zelfs héél sceptisch... Voor Nederland kan je de mooie site www.ufowijzer.nl bezoeken van Paul Harmans. Een mooie site met veel informatie en artikels. MUFON of het Mutual UFO Network Inc is een Amerikaanse UFO-vereniging met afdelingen in alle USA-staten en diverse landen. MUFON's mission is the analytical and scientific investigation of the UFO- Phenomenon for the benefit of humanity... Je kan ook hun site bekijken onder www.mufon.com. Ze geven een maandelijks tijdschrift uit, namelijk The MUFON UFO-Journal. Since 02/01/2020 is Pieter ex-president (=voorzitter) of BUFON, but also ex-National Director MUFON / Flanders and the Netherlands. We work together with the French MUFON Reseau MUFON/EUROP. ER IS EEN NIEUWE GROEPERING DIE ZICH BUFON NOEMT, MAAR DIE HEBBEN NIETS MET ONZE GROEP TE MAKEN. DEZE COLLEGA'S GEBRUIKEN DE NAAM BUFON VOOR HUN SITE... Ik wens hen veel succes met de verdere uitbouw van hun groep. Zij kunnen de naam BUFON wel geregistreerd hebben, maar het rijke verleden van BUFON kunnen ze niet wegnemen...

    SpaceX onthult ruimteschip en raket voor kolonisatie van Mars - HLN.be

    UPDATE Tijdens een livestream deed Elon Musk vanavond uit de doeken hoe hij met zijn ruimtevaartbedrijf SpaceX een missie naar Mars wil realiseren. Hij lichtte toe hoe SpaceX werkt aan een interplanetaire raket en capsule om grote aantallen mensen naar Mars te brengen met het ultieme doel de planeet te koloniseren. De gigantische SpaceX-raket moet per reis 100 passagiers plus vracht kunnen vervoeren.

    Elon Musk © anp.

    De raket en het ruimteschip zijn veel groter dan de huidige Falcon 9 van SpaceX, die in totaal 122 meter hoog zullen zijn. De Falcon 9 is momenteel 70 meter groot. 

    De raket zal het ruimteschip op koers brengen en vervolgens terugkeren naar de aarde, waar ze weer moet landen op het lanceerplatform. Het is de bedoeling dat de raket daar een brandstoftank ophaalt om weer naar het ruimteschip te brengen.

    Kolonisatie

    De SpaceX-CEO ziet een toekomst waarin mensen een grote kolonie vestigen op Mars, maar voegde eraan toe dat de grootste moeilijkheid het aantrekken van voldoende vrijwilligers zal zijn. "Je kan geen zelfvoorzienende beschaving creëren als het prijskaartje per persoon 10 miljard dollar per persoon is," voegde hij eraan toe. "Ons doel is om het naar beneden te krijgen tot ongeveer het equivalent van een middelgroot huis in de Verenigde Staten, ongeveer 200.000 dollar". "Het kan 40 tot 100 jaren duren tot er een volledig zelfvoorzienende beschaving is op Mars," aldus Musk.

    SpaceX, dat door Musk specifiek werd opgericht met het doel om Mars te koloniseren, is een van de verschillende initiatieven die door privaat en overheidsgeld gesponsord worden, om mensen en vracht naar de rode planeet en andere bestemmingen buiten de atmosfeer van de aarde te brengen. 

    Mars ligt op ongeveer 225 miljoen kilometer van de aarde. Het is een heel ambitieuze onderneming om mensen, na een reis van zes tot negen maanden, er te laten landen.

    Steun van NASA

    Musk zei niet hoeveel het hele project zou kosten. SpaceX is van plan om elke 26 maanden naar Mars te vliegen, wanneer de aarde en Mars in een gunstige positie tegenover elkaar staan. Musk hoopt om in 2024 de eerste mensen naar Mars te brengen. 

    De eerste Marsmissie van SpaceX moet plaatsvinden in 2018: daarvoor wil het bedrijf de onbemande capsule 'Red Dragon' naar het oppervlak van Mars brengen om de daling en landing van het tuig te testen. 

    De eerste bemande Marsmissie van NASA moet plaatsvinden rond 2034. NASA steunt het project van SpaceX en zal het bedrijf bijstaan met advies en relais-stations die communicatie in de ruimte en Mars mogelijk maken, in ruil voor data.

    NASA: "Mogelijk waterdamppluimen op Jupiters maan Europa" - HLN.be

    Bron: NASA

    Op nieuwe foto's van Jupiters maan Europa, genomen met de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop, zijn mogelijk pluimen van waterdamp te zien. Eerdere waarnemingen deden al vermoeden dat de ijsmaan waterdamp uitbraakt. Dat zou eventuele toekomstige missies behoorlijk kunnen vergemakkelijken.

    Astronomen vermoeden dat onder het ijzige oppervlak van Europa een enorme oceaan schuilgaat, die tweemaal zoveel water bevat als de zeeën op aarde. "De oceaan van Europa wordt gezien als een van de meest veelbelovende plaatsen in ons zonnestelsel die mogelijk leven kunnen bevatten", zegt Geoff Yoder van het Science Mission Directorate van NASA in een persbericht. 

    Maar die oceaan wordt afgedekt door een laag extreem koud en hard ijs. Hoe dik de ijslaag is, is niet geweten. Om het water op de maan te kunnen onderzoeken, zou er dus mogelijk door een kilometers dikke laag geboord moeten worden. "Maar als er inderdaad pluimen van waterdamp zijn, bieden die een andere mogelijkheid om de ondergrond van Europa te onderzoeken", klinkt het. Zo zouden er stalen verzameld kunnen worden zonder te moeten landen op of boren door het ijs.

    Het onderzoeksteam, onder leiding van William Sparks van het Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, zag Europa tien keer voor Jupiter passeren. Driemaal werden er mogelijke waterpluimen waargenomen. Ze stegen naar schatting 200 kilometer boven het oppervlak, alvorens het materiaal weer naar beneden regende. Het onderzoek verschijnt eind deze maand in The Astrophysical Journal. 

    In 2012 waren er ook al vermoedens van waterpluimen op Europa. Een team van het Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio zag toen 160 kilometer hoge pluimen uitbarsten vanaf de zuidpool van de maan. Tot nu toe doen de observaties vermoeden dat de pluimen hoogst variabel zijn. Dat zou betekenen dat ze een tijdlang sporadisch uitbarsten, om dan weer stil te vallen. 

    Indien het nieuws bevestigd wordt, zou Europa de tweede maan in ons zonnestelsel zijn met waterpluimen. In 2005 ontdekte NASA's ruimtetuig Cassini wolken van waterdamp en stof boven het oppervlak van Saturnus' maan Eceladus.

    Inside Australia’s UFO society: Alien abductions, telepathy, encounters and sightings

    SET in an eerily quiet suburb of Sydney, under the glow of a full moon, the scene resembles an ominous opening of a Hollywood sci-fi film.

    But members and guests of the UFO & Paranormal Research Society of Australia (UFO-PRSA) don’t meet in the dark of the night simply for dramatic effect.

    The western Sydney arm of the organisation comes together at this time, from 7-10pm, because most of them are professionals who have work commitments by day.

    Among them are lawyers, scientists, public servants, retirees and students who claim to have had alien, UFO and paranormal encounters.

    They say it’s the only place they can speak freely about the likes of alien abductions, UFO sightings, telepathy and other phenomena — including the ability to see internal human organs — without ridicule.

    Some travel from Wollongong, which doesn’t have its own support group of the same nature, to be there.

    The group is hosted by guest speakers including ufologists, authors and scientists in public meetings at the Campbelltown Arts Centre once a month.

    At the September meeting, UFO-PRSA posters with pictures of aliens, ghosts and UFOs point attendees to the conference room on level one. Inside are rows of chairs, a snack table with biscuits, tea and coffee, and an overhead projector for presentations. About 16 people show up and pay three uniformed staffers the $15 entry fee

    Their experiences and backgrounds vary greatly but they all share one common belief: the truth is out there.

    The members mingle before the presentations start. They’re unimpressed by the way, they feel, the mass media has portrayed abductees and believers.

    For starters, the cliche “little green men” often parodied on television are actually grey, according to several attendees.

    One member tells news.com.au that proof aliens have already come to Earth is publicly available and that “all you have to do is look”.

    “Through the military, the aircraft, the navy,” she says.

    “We ought to know what’s going on instead of having the wool pulled over our eyes by the government.

    “Astronauts and pilots are now coming out of the woodworks.”

    She refers to late US astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who said he had never seen a UFO, but was outspoken in his belief that aliens had probably visited Earth and that the government covered up the evidence.

    “He’s created freedom,” she says.

    While the group condemns doubters, non-believers and detractors who label them “delusional” and “crazy”, they are often the first to poke fun at themselves. Some of them have “X Files” and extraterrestrial theme ringtones which prompt chuckles from the audience when they sporadically ring throughout the meeting.

    ‘IF ONE OF THESE REPORTS IS TRUE IT WILL CHANGE MANKIND FOREVER’

    Nick Karma says he's captured evidence of UFOs in these photos taken at an undisclosed location in the Top End of Australia.

    UFO researcher and author Moira McGhee, one of two guest speakers on the night, tells news.com.au “there is humour in ufology”.

    “If you don’t have humour it’s all going to get too much,” she says.

    But according to her, there’s lots of “serious stuff” to cover too.

    McGhee is there to talk about her latest book Contact Down Under: A century of UFO sightings in Australasia and the Western Pacific. She promises the audience they will be especially interested when she gets to the chapter about “alien sex”.

    “We have reports of men being taken on aircraft and women having their way with them,” McGhee says.

    “Usually they have a smile ear to ear those blokes.

    “But there are a lot of cases of women having their eggs taken. They are suffering trauma. There are encounters and abductions that are made of absolute horror stuff.”

    McGhee says none of it can be explained.

    “I don’t know the answers,” she says.

    “Any ufologist who tells you they know the answers is kidding themselves.”

    McGhee says she’s received countless reports of alien encounters from people all over the world during her career. But that hasn’t made it any easier to determine the validity of each claim, according to her.

    “A UFO is a flying object we cannot identify by conventional means,” she says.

    “There is an interest in ufology right throughout the world so a lot of what reported is technology and not necessarily alien.

    “It can be hoaxes, flares, aircraft, satellites, space junk, foreign spies and optical illusions.

    “You start looking at every other explanation before you start looking at the improbable, the impossible, the mind boggling.

    “You’ve got to wonder, is this person disturbed? Have they been exposed to too much UFO information that could colour what they’re saying? Is that person telling the truth?

    “There are a lot of people who are very, very disturbed by what’s happened to them. And one has to be careful. Different researchers have different methods. You can do a lot of damage if you’re bringing these memories forward.”

    McGhee, who studied law before dedicating the best part of her life to UFO research, says she has found that most alien abductees are “chosen for their psychic abilities”.

    “Poltergeist activity seems to go on around abductees,” she says.

    “They might notice the microwave oven just exploded or the lights go on and off.”

    According to McGhee, “blue beams” are one of several common descriptions in witness reports.

    “We’ve got lots of reports from people about men in black and aliens with an oriental appearance,” she says.

    “We get reports of disappearing people, missing time.

    “I don’t agree with everything people say. There’s a lot of conspiracy stuff. You don’t know what’s true and what’s not. Maybe none of us have the right answer.

    “But the worst thing a researcher can do is to close their mind.

    “They need to believe anything is possible but have a big dose of scepticism too.

    “If even one of these reports is true it will change mankind forever.”

    ‘I’VE BEEN VISITED BY ALIENS SINCE I WAS NINE YEARS OLD’

    Sydney public servant *Jessie, 43, claims to have been visited by aliens since she was nine years old.

    She doesn’t want to be identified publicly because of possible financial repercussions.

    “I have a government job,” she says.

    “I don’t want to lose that.”

    She says she was first visited by an extraterrestrial being when she was a child living in Uzbekistan.

    “I was at home in a room by myself and a grey humanoid about the same height as me appeared from behind the wardrobe,” she says.

    “I wasn’t scared of it, it was my friend. He just wanted to be with me.

    “I told my brother and sister and they went and checked and said there was nothing there. He was there with me all the time and then he left. He told me telepathically that he had to go but that he’d come back soon.”

    Jessie says the alien delivered on its promise and returned to her when she was 14 years old.

    “I woke up from a very loud noise when it was quite dark,” she says.

    “I could see out the window what appeared to me like a huge helicopter with strange lights around it.

    “(The UFO) was about 150m above. I could see every single little stone on the buildings. That light magnified everything. Then it disappeared. After the last surge of light everything just went black. There was no anything. And I went back to sleep.”

    *Jessie described seeing ‘bright lights’ from a UFO, like this mock up illustration, shine down on buildings.

    A few months later she saw an article in the local newspaper that supported her story, she says.

    “It was about a plane flying above Russia and the people in the plane saw exactly the same thing, dropping the lights down,” she says.

    “I read the article and I understood ‘OK that’s what I saw.’”

    But the strange occurrences didn’t end there, according to Jessie.

    “After that things started to happen to me,” she says.

    “I lied down on the couch after studying when I was 26 … The window was (opposite) the lounge. I saw an eye looking object, very big, about the size of the window and it started flying towards me. As it was flying towards me, it was like a red cherry colour hologram. There were some symbols inside. And it just stopped near my face. I was like, ‘OK, great I’ve got hallucinations from the study.’ I started to blink my eyes and it was still there. I put my hand in it and it just moved away from my hand. I looked at it and was like, ‘OK what do you want?’ It just stayed there not doing anything. I was buggered. I said to it: ‘I’m just very tired … I’m going to sleep … and you can stay, I don’t care who you are, what you are.’ I just lied down and switched off. It went back to the window and I just fell asleep.

    “Two weeks after I started to see internal organs in humans.”

    Jessie says it was these experiences that brought her to the UFO-PRSA meetings, which she attends every month.

    “People don’t call me crazy here,” she says. “People don’t look at me like I’m cuckoo. I can get support from others and tell other people, ‘You’re not crazy.’”

    ENCOUNTERS OF THE EXTRAORDINARY KIND

    UFO-PRSA president Larraine Cilia says the group is made up of “like-minded people”.

    “This is an open forum where they can tell their story in an environment that’s free of ridicule,” she tells news.com.au.

    “Most people who come forward haven’t got anyone else to talk to because there’s still that ridicule factor attached.”

    Cilia also offers individual counselling services “for people who have been traumatised not just by abduction scenarios but by poltergeist and paranormal experiences as well”.

    “It’s all linked,” she says.

    She says the organisation’s purpose is “to waken people up to what’s going on”.

    “The media might have someone they’re interviewing on the TV like me, who is serious about the subject, and they’ll have little green men in spaceships on a screen behind them,” she says.

    “They make light of it. We really need it to be looked at as a serious subject.

    “It’s more common for people to have these encounters than most realise.”

    Cilia says she is contacted by at least one new person per week who claims to have spotted UFOs or had alien encounters.

    “People don’t go to the police about sightings anymore,” Cilia says.

    “They go online and find out where they can report and go straight to the civil UFO groups.

    “We get calls from all over Australia.”

    She says she typically works through the process of elimination as a first step when responding to witness reports.

    “First of all we have a look at the star chart and ask them where what they saw was situated to make sure it wasn’t a planet, meteor, plane or helicopter,” she says.

    “Most people realise it’s not because the brain is like a computer. It will compute, ‘Oh my God, that’s not a plane, that’s not a star,’ and that’s when they say, ‘It’s something unusual I’m going to report that.’”

    If no obvious explanation can be found she then encourages witnesses to fill out a sightings report on the organisation’s website.

    Witnesses are asked to include information on the Australian UFO Report form about where they “first observed UFO” and whether or not it had “seams, windows, lights, pulsating lights, antenna or appendages”.

    An entire page is left blank for the witness to draw a UFO comfit, of sorts: “Please sketch the object including shape and colour of features”, the instructions read. Further details are sought as to the appearance of the UFO and how it moved. “Did it separate into two parts? Moved across the sky, hovered in the sky, hovered near the ground, rotated, moved in a straight line, moved erratically, changed direction, landed, and took off?”

    Other things to consider include “possible disturbances of radios, television, engines, lights, animals or witnesses” and whether or not the witness suffered any physical effects like: “Illness, electromagnetic, imprints, residue, vegetation change, smoke, vapour trail, noise, vibrations, heat and other”.

    A pile of the report forms is left on a desk for members and guests to take from the group’s monthly meeting.

    ‘NO LONGER IS LIFE POSSIBLE OUT THERE, IT’S VERY PROBABLE’

    Scientist, author and ufologist Bryan Dickeson is there to give a presentation on the electronic UFO sighting databases he has developed for New Zealand and Australia. He shows diagrams of UFOs and aliens based on witness reports and newspaper articles.

    “I’ve put it into electronic format so we can access it and search large masses of data and do this in a much more readily and accessible way,” he says.

    “The information we’re getting up is very, very interesting. On average in New Zealand one UFO appears every six days. That’s 60 events per year. I’m not talking about lights in the sky. I’m talking about when people actually see something when they come down and it stays for a while then goes away.”

    He’s also working on an Australian database and says he’s got “a lot of material”.

    “There’s an awful lot of commotion there,” he says.

    Dickeson, who has two science degrees, is a second generation ufologist. His parents were naval aerial photographers during WW2 before they founded a UFO group in New Zealand.

    Since taking over their work he has investigated multiple reported UFO landing sites.

    “There’s a difference of soil samples between the control area and the affected area,” Dickeson says.

    “We take a series of controlled samples outside to compare with the altered sample. It’s very hard to actually detect. Sometimes you find different concentrations of irons, magnesium or calcium.”

    But how is that linked to alien life?

    “That’s a good question,” Dickeson says. “The thing is we don’t really know what we’re looking for.”

    While Dickeson concedes he has more questions than answers, there’s one thing he says he knows for sure.

    “No longer is life possible out there, it’s very probable,” he says.

    ‘THE ALIENS HAVE BEEN HERE FOREVER’

    As the meeting draws to an end, the group discussion moves to how to cope with life after being abducted by aliens, and returned to Earth.

    One woman in the audience raises her hand to share her knowledge.

    “Once you start accepting what’s happened, you let go of the fears around you,” she says.

    Another woman mentions that those who have been abducted and returned “get angry” when questioned about their experiences. Others agree.

    “It’s important to find out how they feel in a general way without creating anxiety,” she says.

    *Anna says she’s had extraterrestrial encounters all her life.

    “Since I was a child I’ve been in contact,” she says.

    “But I don’t speak publicly about it because of the ridicule factor that’s attached to it.

    “I’m one of those who knows. I just know.”

    What does she know?

    “I don’t have to believe I know,” she reiterates without further explanation.

    Know what exactly?

    “That aliens have been here forever,” she says.

    “I know where we come from. I just know a lot of things that I’ve never been taught. Some of it I’ve been told and some of it I’ve brought here with me. I’ve chosen to come here in this lifetime. I believe originally we came from Mars.”

    Several other members nod knowingly and agree as Anna explains that the Orion star system and volcanoes on the red planet “line up with the Giza pyramids”.

    “There’s too many coincidences,” she says.

    *David, who doesn’t want to be named publicly for fear of ridicule, interjects:

    “The photograph of the structures on Mars is a copy of Tor Hill in England,” he says.

    “The structures on the mound around Tor Hill, in England are the same as on Mars.”

    His girlfriend, *Kylie, adds: “There’s also buildings on Mars as well.”

    And with that, the meeting is over and its members walk off into the yonder, under a twinkling night sky.

    *Not their real name

    Ambtenaar:

    Ambtenaar: “Ik word al sinds mijn negende bezocht door aliens”

    De Australische UFO-gemeenschap bestaat uit advocaten, wetenschappers, ambtenaren en studenten die één ding gemeen hebben: ze hebben een UFO gezien of claimen in contact te staan met buitenaardse bezoekers.

    De organisatie, de UFO & Paranormal Research Society of Australia (UFO-PRSA), komt eens per maand bijeen. De leden hekelen de manier waarop de massamedia abductees en believers afschilderen. Er wordt vaak gesproken van ‘kleine groene mannetjes’, maar volgens de leden zijn sommige aliens in werkelijkheid grijs.

    “Het bewijs dat aliens al op aarde zijn geweest is publiekelijk beschikbaar,” zei één van de leden. “Via het leger, de luchtmacht en de marine. De overheid moet ons niet langer voor de gek houden. Diverse astronauten en piloten hebben zich al uitgesproken.”

    Ze verwijst naar de Amerikaanse astronaut Edgar Mitchell, die zei dat aliens de aarde al hadden bezocht en dat de overheid bewijs hiervoor onder het tapijt heeft geveegd.

    Enorme helikopter

    Jessie (43), een ambtenaar uit Sydney, claimt al vanaf haar negende te worden bezocht door aliens. Ze zei dat ze voor het eerst werd bezocht door een buitenaards wezen toen ze in Oezbekistan woonde.

    “Ik was alleen thuis toen er plotseling een grijs wezen achter de kast vandaan kwam,” zei ze. “Ik was er niet bang voor, het was mijn vriend. Hij wilde gewoon bij me zijn. Hij liet me door middel van telepathie weten dat hij moest gaan, maar spoedig weer zou terugkeren.”

    Ambtenaar:

    Jessie zei dat de alien zich weer liet zien toen ze 14 jaar oud was. “Ik werd wakker van een hard geluid,” zei ze. “Ik zag vanuit het raam iets wat leek op een enorme helikopter met vreemde lichten.”

    “De UFO hing 150 meter boven het huis,” zei ze. De hele omgeving was verlicht. Plotseling verdween het object en was alles weer donker. Er was niets meer te zien en ik ging weer slapen.”

    Belachelijk

    Voorzitter van de UFO-PRSA Larrain Cilia zegt mensen wakker te willen schudden. “Als de media iemand interviewen over dit onderwerp, laten ze op de achtergrond altijd kleine groene mannetjes in ruimteschepen zien,” zei ze. “Ze maken het onderwerp belachelijk, terwijl we er op een serieuze manier naar moeten kijken.”

    Er zijn volgens haar veel meer mensen die dit soort dingen meemaken dan we denken. “Mensen gaan niet meer naar de politie als ze iets hebben gezien,” zei Cilia. “Ze gaan speuren op internet en sluiten zich aan bij UFO-groepen. We krijgen telefoontjes uit het hele land.”

    Landingsplekken

    “De informatie die we krijgen is zeer, zeer interessant,” zei wetenschapper Bryan Dickeson. Hij zegt al diverse UFO-landingsplekken te hebben onderzocht. Hij stuitte onder meer op verschillen in bodemmateriaal.

    Anna zegt al haar hele leven contact te hebben met buitenaardsen. “Al van kinds af aan heb ik contact,” zei ze. “Maar ik spreek er niet openlijk over omdat ik bang ben voor gek te worden versleten.”

    Gebouwen

    Volgens Anna zijn aliens hier al sinds mensenheugenis. Ze denkt dat we oorspronkelijk van Mars naar de aarde zijn gekomen. “Het sterrenbeeld Orion en vulkanen op de rode planeet staan op één lijn met de piramides van Gizeh,” zei ze.

    David voegde toe: “De structuren rond Tor Hill in Engeland worden ook op Mars gevonden.” Zijn vriendin Kylie reageerde: “Er zijn ook gebouwen op Mars.”

    Uit privacyoverwegingen zijn de namen veranderd.

    ENGELSE STAD OPGESCHRIKT DOOR VREEMD OBJECT IN DE LUCHT ( VIDEO )

    Tientallen mensen waren afgelopen zondagavond getuige van een vreemd vliegend voorwerp boven de Engelse stad Swindon. 

    De stad ligt overigens vlakbij de plek waar een helikopterbemanning enkele dagen eerder een onbekend voorwerp filmde met de infraroodcamera. 



    De plaatselijke krant in Swindon stond er vol mee en iedereen die het object had gezien wilde graag zijn of haar verhaal vertellen. 

    Zoals de voormalige telefoonmonteur Graham Woodward die samen met zijn 18-jarige zoon naar huis reed toen ze drie hele felle witte lichten in de vorm van een driehoek waarnamen. Een driehoek met een rood licht in het midden.


    xxx

    Woodward is ervan overtuigd dat het geen drone of een vliegtuig was omdat er geen navigatielichten te zien waren. 

    Toen ze de auto stopten en de ramen opendeden, was er ook geen enkel geluid van motoren te horen. “Het ziet er in ieder geval totaal anders uit dan ieder ander vliegend object dat ik ooit heb gezien”, zo zei hij. 

    Het vreemde object bleef ongeveer drie minuten lang hangen, voordat het naar links afboog en uit het zicht verdween.


    xxx

    Woodward en zoon waren zo verbaasd dat ze onmiddellijk het alarmnummer van de politie belden. 

    De onderstaande video is gemaakt in Liden, een voorstadje van Swindon, door Richard Newton die het object zag rond dezelfde tijd als Woodward in Swindon. 

    Richard is er eveneens van overtuigd dat het geen drone of een vliegtuig was. 

    Ook andere getuigen zoals een echtpaar zeiden het volgende: 

    “Wij zagen ook die drie lichten rond een uur of half negen. Het waren absoluut drie felle witte lichten en het leek totaal niet op een vliegtuig”. 

    Alhoewel er natuurlijk altijd mensen zijn die de gebeurtenis proberen af te doen als een vliegtuig, zijn er dit keer toch teveel getuigen die allemaal volhouden dat de vreemde lichten die ze hebben gezien, niets met een vliegtuig te maken hebben. 

     

    Het toeval wil dat de Amerikaan Steven Barone over wie wij al vaker schreven en die naast de Nellis Airforce Base woont in Nevada ook iets dergelijks heeft waargenomen. 

    Wat Steven filmde zag er ongeveer zo uit:


    xxx

    Ook de waarneming van Steven vond plaats op zondagavond laat, maar vanwege het tijdsverschil toch zo’n zeven uur later dan die in het Engelse Swindon. 

    Volgens Steven bleef het object ongeveer een uur lang bewegingloos hangen, en bleef hij filmen totdat de batterij van zijn camera leeg was. 

     

    Het voorval lijkt eveneens veel op wat een gezin uit Australië de stuipen op het lijf joeg en waarover wij eerder schreven. 

    Buitenaards of een menselijk experiment zoals de TR-3B? 

    Bijzonder is natuurlijk wel dat er veel verhalen zijn over een buitenaardse basis onder Nellis Airforce Base. Een basis van de zogenaamde Tall White Aliens.

    Interview-with-author-of-UFOs-Over-Romania

    Interview with author of UFOs Over Romania

    A UFO book gathering interest and momentum at the moment is ‘UFOs OVER ROMANIA’. In the west, little is known about its author, Dan D. Farcas PhD. With that in mind, I recently took the opportunity to interview Dan in order to try and learn a little more about his interests and how he became involved in UFO research in his home country of Romania.

    RL: How and when did you first become interested in the UFO phenomenon?

    Dan D.Farcas PhD

    Dan D. Farcas PhD

    DF: I should split the question into two. I’ve always been interested in extraterrestrial issues, but only relatively lately into UFOs. When I was 8 or 9 years old, one of the things I used to play at with my younger brother was to draw our imaginary adventures in a primitive type of comic book. I still have some of them. Most of these adventures took place in outer space, travelling from one planet to another. At the same period of time, I started to write a book on astronomy. In the forties, in Romania, there were no such books available.

    When I was 25-35, I published several science fiction short stories, mainly on space travel and contacts with aliens. In these stories, I felt it was quite normal for an alien to appear suddenly, in human form, in an earthly environment, but I still had doubts about UFOs as extraterrestrial vehicles.

    I published some popular science articles about extraterrestrial civilizations and, around 1980, I was invited to write a book about this topic. On this occasion, I thought it is normal to inform myself on the UFO phenomenon. Only then, I discovered, by reading some good books, how many well documented cases exist and how important they are.

    The book, entitled “De ce tac civilizaţiile extraterestre” (Why cue the extraterrestrial civilizations), published in 1983, was a small bestseller. Then many people asked me about UFOs, so I continued to inform myself more seriously, and published a lot, especially after 1990.

    RL: Have you ever had a personal experience with ‘high strangeness’?

    DF: I have the memory of several “night visits”, before the age of 5 years. I argued then that they were not dreams. The only thing I remember now is a green hand disappearing behind my bed, somehow in to the wall. I even gave a name to this apparition, something like “that with the hand”.

    I had also, in this period, some unexplainable phobias. I felt a terror if I get a glimpse of certain common objects. These reactions have disappeared with time.

    RL: Has being an academic aided you in your research of the UFO phenomenon?

    UFOs-Over-Romania

    DF: I was trained in mathematics, physics and astronomy at a university level. This helped me not only to understand the size and structure of the universe, or what means spaces with more dimensions, but it also gave me a strong sense of sizes, such as differences between thousands, millions and billions of years, or light years. I noticed that, for many, this often means only “very much”, leading to serious confusions.

    On the other hand, academic training in such domains, gives you a higher censorship toward certain facts that you hear reported. Among other things, this made me sceptical for a long time, that UFOs may be spacecraft. Of course, life has forced me, in many fields, to go beyond the dogmas learned in school.

    Finally, the academic education and my life experience helped me to understand the limitations of some instruments considered “taboo” in our culture. I understood the limits of the scientific method, of the mathematics and logic. All these have relevance in investigating the UFO phenomenon.

    RL: Whilst compiling your research for your new book UFO’s OVER ROMANIA you will have read many eye witness reports, did any one account stand out to you and why?

    DF: For this book I used, mostly, investigations made by people that I have known and I had confidence in, but I gave also many pages to the cases that I investigated personally over the last 20 years. There were, on the one hand, strange accounts of military pilots, and on the other hand, unexplained encounters of just ordinary people. I was impressed most by the sincerity of all the witnesses and by their desire to find an explanation for what had happened. With the stories from civilians, I was most impressed by the mixture between the classical UFO lore and some characters or features I knew before only in folkloric or religious realms.

    But to understand all the things that surprised me, I think it’s better to recommend reading the book, with all those stories.

    RL: Has the language barrier been an obstacle in sharing Eastern European UFO reports?

    DF: The language barrier is a very serious one. It was partially overcome in technical fields in which international cooperation is mandatory and where you use a limited vocabulary; but it is still a problem in many other areas, including ufology.

    The ufological literature, in Romanian language, and about Romanian cases, is not very extensive, but even so, there are many interesting cases and developments which are not known abroad. The situation is, I think, similar in other Eastern European countries.

    RL:  You are the chairman of ASFAN. What is this organization?

    DF: In 1998, Ion Hobana, a well known writer and ufologist, Harald Alexandrescu, astronomer, and myself, took the initiative of creating the Romanian Association for the Study of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena (ASFAN), as an organisation of well established specialists in various disciplines relevant for active involvement in UFO research. It was and has remained the only non-governmental and non-profit organisation in Romania, with legal personality, dedicated exclusively to ufology. The legal permission for the establishment of ASFAN was obtained at the Court of the City of Bucharest on September 28, 1998, taking into consideration the approval of the Ministry of Research and Technology and that of the General Mayor of Bucharest. The offices of ASFAN were established in the building of the “Admiral Vasile Urseanu” Astronomical Observatory of the Municipality of Bucharest, Boulevard Lascăr Catargiu 21, Bucharest, property of the City.

    For the 21 founding members (demanded by the law at that point in time), highly skilled individuals were selected: mathematicians, astronomers, engineers, specialists in radar, aeronautics, meteorology, photo-imaging, informatics, medicine, as well as interdisciplinary oriented personalities. The main aim was to have a multidisciplinary and pluralistic approach to the phenomenon. The initial elected board was: chairman Ion Hobana (1931-2011), Vice-chairman myself, and executive director Harald Alexandrescu Ph.D., mathematician and astronomer (1944-2005). Since 2011, I am the chairman.

    At the beginning, ASFAN organised, for three years, public lectures on a monthly basis. A more complex, one day UFO Conference was organised in May 2014. We had also several other public encounters and actions. ASFAN members were invited to appear on virtually all of the main Romanian TV channels and radio stations for debates on current UFO events and related issues. Unfortunately, the funding and the time available for the members was always very limited, so the achievements of ASFAN were much lower than had been hoped, and in time most of members became inactive with no one to take their place.

    ASFAN received and examined written reports, photos, video footage and other UFO data (far from all cases). The most interesting ones are available (in Romanian) on the website of the organization. There are no printed UFO publications in Romania, but some ASFAN members have or had permanent UFO columns or articles published in Romanian popular science magazines.

    Ion Hobana kept in touch with many ufologists worldwide, he participated in international conferences and invited to Romania several ufologists from abroad. Other ASFAN members tried to maintain these contacts, making new ones too, with several UFO research organisations and specialists abroad.

     RL: In UFOs OVER ROMANIA you discuss ‘hypercivilizations’. Could you just expand on what this is?

    DF: In our Galaxy (the Milky Way), there are around 200 billion stars. Around 30 billion planets can host life. More and more specialists admit that the basic components of life are travelling throughout space, “infecting” immediately all appropriate planets upon contact. In ideal conditions, in three-four billion years of undisturbed evolution, the random game of mutations and the subsequent changing of the environment could produce on such a planet a complex life system, as we see on our Earth and, in some cases, even a “technological civilisation”, that means intelligent beings capable of building spaceships to travel to other inhabitable planets.

    As I estimated that, in the history of our Galaxy, could come into being a number of technological civilizations, of which, only a few hundred survived the childhood diseases that we face now on Earth, and still exist. But these civilizations have not arisen simultaneously. The first may have been born a billion years ago, or even earlier. Therefore in our Galaxy, the surviving civilizations have appeared, most likely, one in a several million years. So, they are far apart from us not only in space, but also in time.

    What will become of our civilization (if it will survive) over millions (or billions) of years? How would the inhabitants of a civilization that has outstripped us with millions of years look like? It is impossible for us to imagine. We can accept however that they have been transformed into something else, beyond our understanding; into something we can name as a “hypercivilization”.

    If somebody considers that we were too optimistic and the intelligent beings are much scarcer, we should add that our Milky Way is only one of at least 150 billion, more or less similar, galaxies of the Universe accessible to our instruments. And we have strong reasons to believe that there are other Universes too, maybe “parallel” ones, maybe from other states of matter, or parts of a “Multiverse” etc. Therefore it is almost absolutely sure that in the Cosmos there are hypercivilisations.

    School and science fiction, but not only, set our minds on patterns ignoring completely the possibility of hypercivilizations. There is a primitive extraterrestrial hypothesis, which assumes that all cosmic civilizations are more or less at the same level with us. Therefore it nurtures some false preconceptions as: very long and difficult cosmic voyages, landing on the lawn of White House, equal rights, conversation, invasion, intervention, aid, and so on.

    This primitive view is completely implausible. If hypercivilizations exist (and they exist, with a probability of 99.999999…%) they exploited, in the smallest detail, our Galaxy, millions of years ago, so they have known, for a long time, about our existence. A difference of millions of years, or even hundreds of millions, is as huge as between us and a lizard or even an ant. If an entomologist would propose to study an anthill, he will try to disturb, as little as possible, its life. He could of course make experiments, examining or modifying some ants, or even taking them in remote laboratories, trying to create new “races” and so on, but will not “present credentials” to the queen of the ants. If the entomologist have the technology, he will create some robot ants, sending them in to the hill and watching from a safe place, for example “on the computer screen”, the data transmitted by them. Hypercivilizations might treat us in a similar way. Therefore no settlement, no destruction, on one hand and no official contact, conversation or substantial help, on the other hand, are to be expected from highly advanced cosmic civilisations, even if they are here now.

    The arising of a technological civilization could be a very rare event in our Galaxy, occurring probably once in several millions of years. So it is normal for us to be of interest to the higher intelligences. But they will forbid any aid. This is not, only, because of human aggressiveness and xenophobia, making from all new technology new weapons, nor only to avoid a “cultural shock”, which could virtually destroy all our social, scientific, religious, economical, political, military and cultural structures. I suppose they have also some other reasons for that. Hypercivilisations could wait (and maybe harvest even now) our original ideas, viewpoints, creations (in art, science, philosophy, ethics etc.), or something else, produced as a result of millions of years of our independent evolution. And all that expected crop could be destroyed by a premature contact. Some old, apparently absurd, stories may be an indication of such an attitude: the punishment for the apple of the forbidden tree of knowledge, the chaining of Prometheus, or the fallen angels (from Book of Enoch), thrown into a pit full of fire, because they were taught earthlings different skills.

    The higher intelligences may gather and store our lives in a kind of virtual reality; this could explain: channelling, “xenoglossia”, “walk-ins”, “reincarnation”, ghosts, etc. In such a super-memory it is possible to travel in the past, without changing the real past, or to see scenarios of the future (sometimes apocalyptical), without accepting fatality.

    Of course, all the above is not a proof that the hypercivilisations are the explanation for everything strange and particularly for UFOs. It is only one hypothesis; but one which cannot be easily discarded. And we can speculate even further, supposing for example that the spiritual world was before, or that the material world is only a kind of a great virtual reality and so on. Also, the whole Universe (or rather the “Multiverse”) could be much older and much more complex than the part we can observe with our instruments. Was there something before the “Big Bang”? What is beyond the limits of our closed Universe (maybe in another dimension or another reality, maybe in a spiritual state of matter)?

    RL: In your opinion, how do we keep moving forward with UFO research?

    DF: UFOs exist! To understand them, first of all, we have to collect facts, focusing on the sincerity of the witnesses and on the honesty of the ufologists, avoiding: tricksters, deception, exaggeration, inventions, misinterpretation of natural phenomena, or of man-made vehicles, as well as deceptive mental phenomena.

    In the same time, we have not to forget the great distance from reality to the stories reported about it, interposing (unconsciously!) images seen elsewhere, perhaps in a dream, screen memories, all embellished, filtered, rearranged in a logical and socially convenient order, to match beliefs or prejudices, self delusions, wishful thinking, compulsions or even sexual fantasies, all deeply embedded into the subconscious. These mechanisms are acquired starting with our earliest moments of life and continuing with language, family, religion, environment, social pressure, school, science, media etc. This can change completely what we perceive. Of course, that does not mean the witnesses have not seen anything! Behind their stories, most (if not all) of them went through real and strange experiences.

    The scientific method brings additional issues. Science admits only truths that: persist over time and can be inspected by any interested person, possibly in an experiment. Often science also demands that the observations be quantifiable. But, around us, there are so many phenomena which do not meet these conditions. Sometimes we are “culturally hypnotized” to not see them.

    Science often speaks of “laws of nature”. We do not know any of these laws, but only the laws of Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, etc. which are “falsifiable”, as underlined epistemologist Karl Popper. So statements like: “it was scientifically proven that X can not exist”, or “that Y must exist”, have no logical foundation. An example is that classical: “it is scientifically impossible, therefore please do not bother me with alleged facts”.

    Ufology can not be entirely a science; it can not bring abductions in to the laboratory, nor can it present a UFO, on demand, to any sceptic. But the fact that ufology is not a science does not diminish its importance and also it would be desirable to not diminish its respectability. When people from different countries, cultures and religions, with different backgrounds and occupations, are reporting the same story, with dozens of details that are consistent – despite the fact that these persons have never known each other and have not read any of the dedicated UFO literature – that means we face no more a fantasy or pure coincidences but a real phenomenon. Applying appropriate statistical operations, ufology can try to strip the primary perception of observations by the many cultural veils placed on it, even if this endeavour will never be perfect.

    In conclusion, UFO research should concentrate on: gathering as more testimonies as possible, developing methods of removing cultural filtering, and using good statistical instruments.

    Another issue is that science is not the only way of knowing, even if it claims that. Science, religions, folklore, paranormal studies, ufology etc. touch, each by its own means and in its “light zone”, an extremely complex reality; and often one part denies the truths of the others. To overcome this limitation, we all must learn, in a pluralistic approach, to respect all truths, as long as we cannot refute them, by obvious facts, not only by theories. Therefore we all should accept the truths of others, even if they contradict our own truths. And we should remain always open to dialogue. It is the only way to ascend to the higher truths we are searching for.

    Location of discovery: Prudentopolis, Parana, Brazil

    This crop formation was found in a farmers field in Brazil two days ago. Notice that the reeds are bent 100% flat and in the same direction. Most the time, formations have swirls in the flattened reeds, but not this one. This one is unique. These places could be the location of a ship landing and analysing the soil, seed and the genetic makeup of the seed, which may have been artificially made to grow more and make more profits. This could also be a message sent through subspace aimed to reach us and test our intelligence, to see if we are ready for contact. Sadly we don't have an arial view of the full crop formation...drone footage would be perfect.

    Do Black Holes Die?

    Do Black Holes Die?
    Black holes are galactic monsters with voracious appetites: Once something crosses the monster's event horizon (the black center region in this computer-simulated image of a supermassive black hole), it doesn't come out.

    There are some things in the universe that you simply can't escape. Death. Taxes. Black holes. If you time it right, you can even experience all three at once.

    Black holes are made out to be uncompromising monsters, roaming the galaxies, voraciously consuming anything in their path. And their name is rightly deserved: Once you fall in, once you cross the terminator line of the event horizon, you don't come out. Not even light can escape their clutches.

    But in movies, the scary monster has a weakness, and if black holes are the galactic monsters, then surely they have a vulnerability. Right?

    In the 1970s, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking made a remarkable discovery of a secret buried under the complex mathematical intersection of gravity and quantum mechanics: Black holes glow, ever so slightly, and given enough time, they eventually dissolve. [Hawking Wants to Power Earth With Mini Black Holes: Crazy or Legit?]

    Wow! Fantastic news! The monster can be slain! But how? How does this so-called Hawking radiation work?

    Well, general relativity, which describes how gravity behaves, is a supercomplicated mathematical theory. Quantum mechanics is just as complicated. It's a little unsatisfying to respond to "How?" with "A bunch of math," so here's the standard explanation: The vacuum of space is filled with virtual particles, little effervescent pairs of particles that pop into and out of existence, stealing some energy from the vacuum to exist for the briefest of moments, only to collide with each other and evaporate, returning to nothingness.

    Every once in a while, a pair of these particles pops into existence near an event horizon, with one partner falling in and the other free to escape. Unable to collide and evaporate, the escapee goes on its merry way as a normal nonvirtual particle.

    Voilà! The black hole appears to glow as particles and radiation escape. In doing the work to separate a virtual particle pair and promote one of them into normal status, the black hole gives up some of its own mass. Subtly, slowly, over the eons, black holes dissolve. Not so black anymore, huh?

    Here's the thing: I don't find that answer especially satisfying, either. For one, that explanation does not appear in Hawking's original 1974 paper which unveiled the process, and for another, it's just a bunch of jargon that fills up a couple of paragraphs but doesn't really go a long way in explaining this behavior. It's not necessarily wrong, just … incomplete.

    Let's dig in. It'll be fun.

    First things first: "Virtual particles" are neither virtual nor particles. In quantum field theory — scientists' modern conception of the way particles and forces work — every kind of particle is associated with fieldthat permeates all of space-time. These fields aren't just simple bookkeeping devices; they are active and alive. In fact, they're more important than particles themselves. You can think of particles as simply excitations — or "vibrations" or "pinched-off bits," depending on your mood — of the underlying field.

    Sometimes, the fields start wiggling, and those wiggles travel from one place to another. That's what we call a "particle." When the electron field wiggles, we get an electron. When the electromagnetic field wiggles, we get a photon. You get the idea.

    Sometimes, however, those wiggles don't really go anywhere. They fizzle out before they get to do something interesting. Space-time is full of the constantly fizzling fields.

    What does this have to do with black holes? Well, when one forms, some of the fizzling quantum fields can get trapped — some permanently, appearing within the newfound event horizon. Fields that fizzled near the event horizon end up surviving and escaping. But due to the intense gravitational time dilation — which says that the faster you travel, the more time seems to slow down — near the black hole, they appear to come out much, much later in the future. [8 Ways You Can See Einstein's Theory of Relativity in Real Life]

    In their complex interaction and partial entrapment with the newly forming black hole, the temporarily fizzling fields get "promoted" to become normal, everyday ripples — in other words, particles.

    So Hawking radiation isn't so much about particles popping into existence near a present-day black hole, but rather the result of a complex interaction at the birth of a black hole that persists until today. You can think of that complex interaction as preventing the black hole from ever growing to its maximum possible extent — even at its birth it was doomed to disappear.

    One way or the other, as far as we can tell, black holes do dissolve. I emphasize the "as far as we can tell" bit because, as I said at the beginning, generality is all sorts of hard, and quantum field theory is a beast. Put the two together, and there's bound to be some mathematical misunderstanding.

    But with that caveat, we can still look at the numbers, and those numbers tell us we don't have to worry about black holes dying anytime soon. A black hole with the mass of the sun will last a wizened 10^67 years. Considering that the current age of our universe is a paltry 13.8 * 10^9 years, that's a good amount of time. But if you happened to turn the Eiffel Tower into a black hole, it would evaporate in only about a day. I don't know why you would, but there you go.

    Mysterious Branch of Humanity Possibly Discovered

    Mysterious Branch of Humanity Possibly Discovered
    Researchers have found that Aboriginal Australians are some of the oldest living populations on Earth. Here, Eske Willerslev talks to Aboriginal elders n the Kalgoorlie area in southwestern Australia in 2012.

    A group of humans migrating out of Africa some 40,000 to 70,000 years ago mingled with an as-yet unknown branch of humanity, researchers say.

    Modern humans originated about 150,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa. However, scientists have long debated when and how the modern human lineage spread out of Africa to nearly every corner of the globe. Nearly everyone outside Africa descended from an exodus that occurred between 40,000 and 70,000 years ago, but recent archaeological findings and climate models suggest that migrations of modern humans from Africa began at least 100,000 years ago.

    One way to find out whether, in the past, modern humans dispersed from Africa in one wave or many — and to see if they intermingled with any other human lineages along the way — is to examine the genomes of present-day modern humans. [See Photos of Our Closest Human Ancestor]

    We're interested in understanding how our species has come to be how it is through the lens of ancient DNA," said Swapan Mallick, bioinformatics director at Harvard Medical School in Boston and lead author of one of the three studies appearing in the Sept. 22 issue of the journal Nature.

    Previous human genetic databases often sampled a relatively narrow range of populations, which could skew results or miss key details aboutthe migrations of modern humans out of Africa. Now, three studies have collected new, high-quality data from 787 human genomes from more than 280 geographically diverse populations around the world, including typically understudied and rapidly disappearing groups.

    Among the understudied groups researchers looked at are African populations, which have considerable genetic, linguistic and cultural diversity. They also examined genomes from Australia, where previous research uncovered some of the earliest archaeological and fossil evidence of modern humans outside Africa.

    The genetic analyses revealed the genomes of present-day aboriginal Australians might harbor evidence of ancient interbreeding with an unknown human lineage.

    "Who these people are, we don't know," said Eske Willerslev at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and senior author of one of the three studies.

    Previous research unearthed bones from a mysterious extinct branch of the human family tree from Denisova cave in Siberia's Altai Mountains. Analysis of DNA extracted from the fossils suggested these "Denisovans" shared a common origin with Neanderthals, but were nearly as genetically distinct from Neanderthals as Neanderthals were from living people. [Denisovan Gallery: Tracing the Genetics of Human Ancestors]

    Recent work suggested that Denisovans have contributed about 5 percent of their DNA to the genomes of present-day people of the Pacific islands of Oceania. However, these new findings suggest that what seemed to be evidence of Denisovans in the Pacific were actually signs of an unknown human lineage.

    "These guys were very distantly related to Denisovans, but by no means Denisovan," Willerslev told Live Science. "They were even more distantly related to Neanderthals, and they might have been even more distantly related to modern humans. We believe that they interbred with modern humans shortly before modern humans crossed into the ancient continent of Sahul — what is now Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania — some 50,000 to 60,000 years ago."

    The new findings also shed light on the controversy over whether modern humans dispersed from Africa in a single exodus or in multiple distinct waves at different times. When it came to people from Papua New Guinea, "we could discover, in the genomes of the Papuan individuals analyzed here, small traces of an additional, early expansion out of Africa that was previously hypothesized only from archaeological remains," Mait Metspalu, an evolutionary geneticist at the Estonian Biocenter in Tartu, Estonia, and senior author of one of the three studies, told Live Science.

    The researchers suggest that at least 2 percent of the Papuan genome harbors traces of an early migration that happened about 120,000 years ago. Previous research suggested that non-Africans largely descend from an exodus that happened between 40,000 and 70,000 years ago.

    "Our results, while for the most part confirming the already accepted model of a single expansion out of Africa as the source event of all non-African populations, show that additional expansions were not as unlikely as we thought," Luca Pagani, a molecular anthropologist at the Estonian Biocenter and lead author of one of the three studies, told Live Science.

    The scientists also discovered that aboriginal Australians "are one of the oldest living populations on Earth, and have been in the same area for the past 50,000 to 60,000 years," Willerslev said.

    There was a great deal of controversy "over whether or not aboriginal Australians directly descend from the first humans entering Australia," Willerslev said. "The answer to that question is yes — our data is completely consistent with aboriginal Australians descending from the first humans to enter Australia. It shows a very long connection between those people and the land. [How Did Life Arise on Earth]

    "I can't think of any other place in the world where humans have been so long in the same spot as Australia," Willerslev said. "Yes, there are populations in Africa that are older, but we have no idea if they stayed in the same area in Africa for as long a time."

    This is the first comprehensive population-level whole-genome study of human genetic diversity in Australia. "We found that because aboriginal Australians have spent such a long time in Australia, they are very genetically diverse," Willerslev said. "An aboriginal Australian from eastern Australia and one from southwestern Australia are almost as different genetically as an Asian is from a European."

    The researchers noted that about 90 percent of aboriginal Australians speak languages belonging to a single linguistic family, "but some people in northwest Australia speak other language families," Willerslev said. "It'd be very interesting to see what the story is there when it comes to how they migrated to Australia."

    Archaeologists in Glasgow, Scotland, briefly excavated and then reburied a 5,000-year-old slab of stone that contains incised swirling geometric decorations.

    The Cochno Stone, which measures 43 feet by 26 feet (13 by 8 meters), contains swirling decorations, also called "cup and ring marks." The stone and its decorations have been known to people in the area since at least the 19th century. Decorations similar to these swirls have been found atother prehistoric sites around the world; however, the examples incised in the Cochno Stone are considered to comprise "one of the best examples" of such art in Europe, according to a statement by the University of Glasgow, which led the new study.

    The stone slab was fully unearthed in West Dunbartonshire by Rev. James Harvey in 1887. By 1965, the stone had been vandalized with graffiti and damaged by the elements, so a team of archaeologists buried it beneath the dirt in order to protect the artwork . This summer's two-week re-excavation allowed archaeologists to use modern-day surveying and photography techniques to better record the artwork.  [Gallery: Aerial Photos Reveal Mysterious Stone Structures]

    For instance, digital-scanning and mapping experts from the Factum Foundation used cutting-edge 3D-imaging technology to make a detailed digital record of the site, according to the university statement.

    The re-excavation also revealed 19th- and 20th-century graffiti etched alongside the swirls, as well as painted lines intentionally made by an archaeologist named Ludovic Maclellan Mann, who worked at the site in 1937. Mann painted lines on the Cochno Stone to help measure the prehistoric artwork and see if there was a link to astronomical phenomena, such as eclipses.

    Mann "was trying to prove that the symbols could predict eclipses and were marking movements of the sun and moon in prehistory," said Kenny Brophy, an archaeologist and senior lecturer at the University of Glasgow, in a video released by the university. He said that Mann's own data ended up disproving the archeologist's theory.

    The meaning of the artwork is still unknown, said Brophy, adding that the vast amount of data gathered this summer may, in time, allow archaeologists to better understand the artifact. He said that the graffiti is also of interest and will help archaeologists better understand what people who lived in the local area thought of the artwork during the 19th and 20th centuries and how they incorporated it into their lives.

    While archaeologists had to rebury the swirling prehistoric artwork in order to protect it, Brophy said he hopes that one day it will be possible to create an area where the rock art can be permanently revealed for both tourists and people in the local area to see. Funding will have to be obtained to build a protective area and visitors centre so that people can view the prehistoric artwork without damaging it.   

    "It is emotional when you have worked on a project such as this, touched it, walked on it and closely examined it, to then rebury it. But for now, that is what we have to do to protect it from the elements," Brophy said in the statement. "Perhaps in the future, this site could be turned into a major tourist attraction in Scotland, with a visitor center — who knows?"

    It’s Official: We’re Going to Mars

     
    mars.JPG
    NASA/JPL-Caltech
    IN BRIEF
    A bipartisan bill was passed by the U.S. Senate committee that oversees NASA space projects. The bill would allocate $19.5 billion in funds to NASA in 2017, but it has a critical mission for the space agency: send men to Mars.

    FUNDS ARE ON THE WAY

    It looks like Republican and Democratic senators alike are keen on safeguarding America’s space programs. With the potential chaos of a new president on the horizon, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation passed a bipartisan bill giving NASA $19.5 billion to continue working on a mission to Mars. It also includes support for the continuation of the program to send astronauts on private rockets to the International Space Station (ISS) from American soil no later than 2018.

    “We have seen in the past the importance of stability and predictability in NASA and space exploration – that whenever one has a change in administration, we have seen the chaos that can be caused by the cancellation of major programs,” Republican Senator Ted Cruz, lead sponsor of the bill, commented. “The impact in terms of jobs lost, the impact in terms of money wasted has been significant.”

    The NASA Transition Authorization Act of 2016 includes an overall authorization level of $19.508 billion for fiscal year 2017, but it still needs to be passed by the Senate as a whole, of course. The budget allotted is the same as what was approved by House appropriators and a bit more than the version released by the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Obama administration, likewise, proposed $19 billion in funding for NASA.

    MAKING IT RAIN, NASA-STYLE

    The Senate is not giving NASA money just for the sake of exploration. It is also a challenge, a mandate, actually. The bill requires that NASA make it an official goal to send crewed missions to Mars in the next 25 years.

    The bill allocates funds for different components: $4.5 billion on exploration, nearly $5 billion for space operations, and $5.4 billion for science. It also does not scrap NASA’s controversial plans to send men on asteroids and collect samples by 2021. It does, however, require the space agency to regularly send progress reports to Congress, justifying its $1.4 billion cost. 

    “Fifty-five years after President Kennedy challenged the nation to put a man on the moon, the Senate is challenging NASA to put humans on Mars. The priorities that we’ve laid out for NASA in this bill mark the beginning of a new era of American spaceflight,” said an optimistic Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, senior Democrat on the Commerce panel. 

    The bipartisan support behind the new bill shows that space exploration is an issue that all parties can agree is vital to our growth as a nation and a species. Now we just have to wait to see if it passes the Senate.

    New Wind Turbine Tech Could Use a Single Typhoon to Power a Country For 50 Years

     
    Challenergy
    IN BRIEF
    • Humanity pumps nearly 38.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air each year because of fossil fuels, but one typhoon is equivalent to half the world-wide electrical generating capacity.
    • Now, Japanese engineer Atsushi Shimizu claims to have developed a way for humanity to harness this power.

    TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EARTH

    We are all farmilar with the tragedy of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, which was caused by an enormous tsunami that occurred back in 2011. It brought the nuclear power debate back to life.

    Now, one Japanese engineer wants to harness the power of another potentially destructive force in order to generate energy. Atsushi Shimizu has created a wind turbine that can withstand the terrible force of typhoons, and it can gather their energy to provide clean power.

    “For decades, Japan has brought in European-style wind turbines, not designed for typhoon zones, and installed them with no careful consideration—they’ve broken almost entirely,” Shimizu said to CNN. Now, that could all change.

    There is tremendous potential in typhoon energy—it is estimated that one typhoon is equivalent to half the world-wide electrical generating capacity, and if we could harness all of its energy, Shimizu asserts he could power Japan for 50 years.

    To that end, Shimizu has constructed a special turbine, one that looks like an eggbeater. It utilizes the Magnus effect to prevent the turbine from spinning out of control. The design helps it withstand unpredictable wind directions.

    HARNESSING EVERYTHING

    Taking advantage of typhoon energy may seem like a moonshot, but we already have structures that can withstand hurricane force gales.

    And given our current climate crisis, its not like we can afford not to do it. The green revolution is all about harnessing the power of Mother Nature and moving away from fossil fuels in order to end the current mass extinction event and help protect our biosphere. Countries like Japan are regularly battered by typhoons, and this is one way of taking advantage of the situation.

    But more than that, if we are to advance as a species, we will need this type of technology. Advancing to a Type I civilization in the Kardashev scale means being able to control the elements—sunlight, volcanoes, earthquakes, and yes, even typhoons.

    This could be another step towards getting humanity beyond our Type 0 classification status.

    Science, History, Religion, Knowledge, and the Truth - The Great American Myth


    "Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge." - Carl Sagan
    "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." - Maya Angelou
    "Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life." - Buddha
    "To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge." - Nicolaus Copernicus 

    "It is a sad regret to have searched for the truth and settled for an answer." - Robert Brault
            This piece will begin with an analysis of a debate between Dr. Jared Diamond, and one of his detractors. This will be followed by a broader analysis of the roles of Science, History, Religion, Knowledge, and Truth in human society. Dr. Diamond was born on September 10, 1937. He is an American scientist and author best known for his popular science books, The Third Chimpanzee (1991), Guns, Germs, and Steel (1997, awarded a Pulitzer Prize), Collapse (2005), and The World Until Yesterday (2012). Originally trained in physiology, Diamond is known for drawing from a variety of fields, including anthropology, ecology, geography and evolutionary biology. He is a professor of geography at the University of California, Los Angeles.

            The debate centered around Dr. Diamond's, Guns, Germs, and Steel. This is followed by “History Upside Down,” in The New York Review of Books, by Dr. William H. McNeil, and Dr. Diamonds response to the review, also in The New York Review of Books, along with Dr. McNeil's secondary response to Diamond. Guns, Germs, and Steel, Dr. Diamond argued, was written to show how much environmental conditions have affected the development of human society. He offered many examples from around the world that showed how one society was dominated by another because of the advantages that their given environment offered them over the environment of the people’s that they dominated, i.e., the Maori over the Moriori. These were two peoples in the far southern reaches of Polynesia that were actually of the same line. Dr. Diamond is not a historian. He is a scientist, and so when he wrote his ‘World History,’ he looked for a broad pattern in history to explain how society came to be where it is. He analyzed his sources and developed, he argued, an all encompassing answer to the problem that he was faced with. Dr. McNeil, however, is a historian, and he reviewed Guns, Germs, and Steel from that perspective. Under such constraints, historical studies normally take a much narrower approach in their work. This was Dr. McNeil's chief complaint. He felt that Dr. Diamond's approach ignored critical cultural details that were important in understanding why certain human societies made the decisions that they did.
            Observe how Diamond approached the question that he was trying to answer, one offered to him by a New Guinea native, Yali, who wondered why white people were always the ones with the best ‘cargo.’ One of Dr. Diamonds answers as to why Westerners had this advantage was that their environment was more conducive to the early development of agriculture. The Eurasian continent had the highest concentration of domesticatable wild plant species in the world, whereas; people’s in the Americas, Africa, and Australia, despite having been in their environments for some time did not have the same advantages as the Eurasians because they did not have as many such wild plant species available to them, if they had any at all. The numerous amounts of wild plant species that were available for domestication in Eurasia made it possible for those people to settle into sedentary lifestyles much earlier than the peoples of the other continents.
            Another one of Dr.  Diamonds answers to Yali’s question was that the people of the Eurasian continent had a massive advantage over the peoples of other continents in the availability of big domesticatable wild animals. Of all the major domesticated ‘work’ animals in the world, and there were fourteen that he identified, thirteen of them were in a very localized area, North Africa to the Indus River Valley, centralized in the Mesopotamian River Valley. These domesticated animals offered the peoples of Eurasia several important advantages over other peoples. He discussed this situation by observing the mass extinctions that took place in the Americas, Australia, and the Polynesian Islands upon the arrival of humans. The big animals in Eurasia and Africa had an advantage over those of the Americas and the other continents, in that their evolution took place almost directly parallel to that of humans. They evolved with humans; and thus, they developed a healthy fear of humans, which gave them certain advantages that could help them either avoid human hunters as their hunting skills improved, i.e., the Gazelle that can jump up to thirty feet into the air in one leap, or develop a mutual relationship according to the needs of the humans that were working with them. The big animals in other portions of the world had no such advantage, and so, evolving independently of humans, they were unprepared for the onslaught of highly skilled human hunters, leaving them no possible chance for future domestication.
            Yet another of Dr. Diamond's answers to the question was directed towards geography, specifically, the orientation and location of the earth’s continents. Eurasia is orientated east to west, and combined, is much larger than any of the other contiguous continents. Africa and the Americas are orientated north to south and Australia is not only the world’s smallest continent but is also extremely isolated. Such conditions, as argued by Dr. Diamond, gave the peoples of Eurasia a greater advantage over those of the other continents.
            According to Dr. Diamond, the advantages that all of these conditions offered to the peoples of Eurasia were voluminous. The greater number of easily collected and domesticatable wild plant species allowed people to settle into stationary villages a lot sooner, which also facilitated the development of agriculture a lot sooner, allowed for denser populations, the development of skilled artisans that could be fed while not having to participate in the collection of food, and the earlier development of complex political structures. The wide variety of domesticatable animal species also gave these peoples the advantage in that they were able to get more done in less time, which gave skilled artisans the time to develop more advanced technologies, such as writing and weapons, as well. This also created more surpluses in food, which allowed for even denser human populations and even more complicated political structures that came to include slave labor and organized religion. Another unique advantage that these large domesticated species gave to Eurasians was germs. Coupled with the byproducts of sedentary living, living near or directly handling bodily waste, humans were exposed to multiple deadly germs when living or working around large animals. Those peoples who were not killed by the germs, lived to pass special immunities onto their offspring. Peoples on other continents were not so lucky.
            Another big advantage of these conditions, per Dr. Diamond, was the rapid spread of food production and other technologies along the east to west axis of Eurasia. This meant that not all peoples had to spend the inordinate amount of time required to develop the technologies themselves, and more people could gain the advantages of the technologies more quickly. The Americas were disadvantaged by their isolation from the center of production in Eurasia as were Australia, Polynesia, and Africa. Furthermore, Africa suffered because Eurasian crops could not survive in the jungle and could not cross the deserts. There was also a problem in the Americas with the spread of crops and technology north to south after Mesoamericans, and the peoples of South America, developed their own crops and technologies much later.
            Once again, it seems that Dr. McNeil’s main issue with Guns, Germs, and Steel was that Dr. Diamond excluded what he considered minor cultural details that were important in understanding why certain human societies made the decisions that they did. The first question is, “Is this judgment true?” For the most part, yes, Dr. Diamond did refrain from discussing extremely narrow cultural details, however; on occasion, he did discuss cultural developments, but only in relation to a particular environmental condition that allowed for their existence. The next question is this, “Did Dr. Diamond do this on purpose?” He most assuredly did, and he did so for a very major reason. Very honestly, from the approach that he took in the book, he had very little need to care about those minor cultural details. From the reading, it can be argued that Dr. Diamond was stating that if not for the proper environmental conditions, those narrow minor details would never have had the opportunity to develop, and humans could very possibly still be hunter-gatherers, never having produced the massive and complex world-wide society that exists today.
            It's fairly clear that this is a scientific look at how human civilization came to be where it now is in the Twenty-First Century. However, like Dr. McNeil, I take issue with Dr. Diamond's story. Dr. McNeil focused on criticizing the overlooking of certain cultural developments that were important to the rise of human civilization. I, however, take with issue with the fact that Dr. Diamond's entire premise seems to to carry a heavy bias from the very beginning. When Dr. Diamond refers to human civilization, exactly which human civilization is he referring to? It is pretty clear that he is referring to Western Civilization, or that part of human civilization that sprang from the Mesopotamian River Valley; in fact, he openly notes in his introduction that he is explaining why it was Western Civilization that mastered the globe first. My question would then be, "Where did he get his information?" He has clearly missed the mark on the development of human civilization; for, long before Rome could even be considered a regional power in Europe, Chinese trade fleets were trading with east Africa, all points in Asia, the Middle East, and points in the Pacific. Further, long before Columbus ever set foot on the eastern edge of the Caribbean, Chinese trade fleets had reached the West Coast of the Americas. Further, they have maps to prove their work. He also seems to have missed out on the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Century West African trade fleets that dealt with the tribes in South America and as far west as Mesoamerica. What can be seen here is that DR. Diamond used selectively tuned scientific data to promote the interests of one area of the human family over another. He did so at the expense of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, who in his work, were considered to be lagging behind Europe. Can our reality be so easily manipulated? Yes.
            If you are doubtful, ask yourself a little question. How secure is your understanding of US History? US History is based on a few foundational understandings. First, Europeans were the first to "Discover" the Americas. Second, when Europeans arrived in the Americas, the Natives were "Uncivilized" heathens. Third, the United States inherited the European banner in the Western Hemisphere by "Divine Right," and was tasked with spreading the gift of "Civilization" to the "Savages." The reality, as we have already seen to some extent, is much different. First, history, and the evidence that backs it up, has proven that both the Chines and West Africans made it to the Americas long before Columbus or any other European, for that matter; though, the Vikings did reach what is now Canada by A.D. 1000, almost five hundred years before Columbus. Of course, none of this accounts for the Inuit, who lived in the Arctic regions of the globe, traveling back and forth from Eurasia and North America over the ice sheets, long before any of these sea faring peoples. Second, when Columbus did begin the mass emigration of Europeans to the Americas, the peoples there were far from uncivilized, and they heavily defied Dr. Diamonds East to West paradigm. From the North going South, there was the Mississippian Culture that inhabited the center of the North American continent, the Aztecs, or the "Mexia," in what is now Central Mexico, the Maya in the Yucatan and the Northern reaches of the Central American Isthmus, the Inca, and several empires before them, situated on the Andes Mountains, and what archaeologists are beginning to uncover the remains of, a result of deforestation combined with modern satellite technology, a civilization that likely centered around the outer Amazon River Basis. On this last one, there is much work left to be done, though. So, the basic fundamentals of "American" History are a carefully collected bundle of Euro Facts and Illusionary Falsehoods assembled to ensure that Western Civilization is given credit for "Discovering," "Civilizing," and "Globalizing" an entire hemisphere that was already inhabited by advanced civilizations that had already long had contact with the Eastern world.
            So, it has now been shown that both science and history can be intentionally taken out of context to, essentially, say or support just about whatever the person handling the information wants it to say, even to the point of ignoring or discarding information that offers a glaring contradiction to the story that the person wants to push. Religion can do much the same thing. Take the primary religion of Western Civilization, Christianity, for example. The entire religion is based upon one of the greatest fallacies ever perpetrated by human kind. Jesus the Christ, the central most figure in the Christian religion, has absolutely no basis, whatsoever, in historical fact. There is nothing written of him in contemporary historical sources. His birth and life can be not accounted for in the contemporary records of the Jews, and even more importantly, there is no mention of a Yeshua bin Yosef, Jesus Son of Joseph, or Jesus the Christ, in the contemporary records of the Roman Empire. Neither, is there any ancillary mention of such a man in the records of the Parthian Empire. This means that during the time period in which the Christian bible reports he existed, 5 B.C. to 30 A.D., there is no evidence of the man's existence in one of the most heavily populated and most commercially mobile regions of the world. Two advanced civilizations could not account for a man that healed the sick, as if by miracle, and fed five thousand people with only two fish and three loafs of bread. The first actual mention of the Christ by any historical writer was made by Josephus in 92 A.D., sixty plus years after the Jesus figure would have died and ascended into heaven, another dramatic fact that cannot be corroborated. His work has long since been discredited because he had no sources to back up his references to the Christ. What is more likely, and several historians have offered remarks to this effect, is that the story of the Christ figure is based upon several figures that existed during the period in question. They were reporting to do similar things that are accorded to the Christ, claiming to be the coming Messiah, and promising freedom from Rome. As for the spiritual aspects of the figure, most historians agree that the life of Jesus is based upon the legend of the Egyptian god Horace. Some also believe that aspects of Zoroastrianism made their way into the mix. Many say that that this is what is responsible for the Book of Revelation. Regardless of where the various parts of the story come from, a religion was crafted upon this information that is now used to control the actions of billions of people around the world.
           What has just transpired was a brief display of what people can do when they mishandle or intentionally appropriate for nefarious purposes, two very important items, knowledge and truth. Knowledge can generally be referred to as facts, understanding, and skills acquired through research and experience. Knowledge can be pursued in many ways. The three listed, Science, History, and Religion, are but a view of the methods available. Truth is, quite simply, the most generally accepted interpretation of gathered knowledge. This is a generalized definition, but what it basically means is that truth can be just about anything, as long as it is accepted by the greater majority of a given society. It also means that whatever truth is accepted does not have to be as at all accurate. It can be as biased as a society is willing to push it. As such, there are three general "Truths" accepted by a general majority of the American population, which tend to formulate what can be most assuredly referred to as the "Great American Myth." These truths are that Western Civilization is the ascendant power in the world, supported by evolution, geography, and agriculture, and millions of year of "quality" scientific data; that Western Civilization, historically, has been able to master the needed technology to overcome the most difficult of obstacles in the their pursuit of "Civilization," and are thus, somehow entitled to the spoils of their conquests; and finally, Western Civilization is backed by the power of "Almighty God," so, anything that they do, no matter how gruesome, is justified, especially when their actions are committed against the mindless heathens that were not able to master what "God" gave them. These truths have been used to justify the conquest of the Americas, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Pacific by various European powers and the United States. It has been justified to economically enslave vast areas of globe in the name of profit and civilization.
            While these truths can be applied to the United States internationally, they have most glaringly been applied to the United States on the domestic front. So, the American Myth begins to take shape. A country has been formed on the North American continent that was established by white people, for white people, and is maintained by white people. They have established a scientific reason for their prominence, they have written history, such that it supports their way of life, and they have built a socio-religious culture that sanctifies the rule of the white man. This country was built on the backs of African slaves, whose descendants are still largely relegated to second class citizenship, if that. It has prospered on the backs of immigrants, who have been either forced to abandon their ancient cultural heritage to fit in to white culture, or who have now been deemed "Illegal," and it has been held up and justified by a religion that condemns all non-believers to the depths of hell, and more tragically, to social exclusion. The United States is still the land of the WASP, or the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Do you not think that this is the case? Attempt to challenge the power of the white man. Develop science that counters the pre-eminence of the white man, write history that minimizes the role of the white man, and create a religion that equalizes the soul of the white man with the rest of humanity; and then, watch your work be deemed pseudo science, revisionist history, or heresy. This is the reality in this country, and it is why it is so hard for anyone of color to break any barriers of any kind. This country was not designed to be their home. It was designed to be their prison. When Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address, he was not referring to all of the people in this country. Though, the text of his speech read, "that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the Earth;" what he really meant was, "and that government of white people, by white people, and for white people shall not perish from the Earth."

    RUSSIA ARMY OFFICER EUGENE GAVRILOV REVEALS ANTARCTIC SECRETS

    News site kramola.info.russia interviewed the officer of the Russian army Eugene Gavrikov.
     
    He tells about his experience in Antarctica and confirm that there really is a pyramid hidden in the midst of the icy mountains and there are traces of military infrastructure left by the Third Reich and signs of activity from the past. 
     
    Eugene also states that the U.S. are aware of what happens in Antarctica where satellites showed the Ozon hole which could not be attributed to human activities but by something more mysterious. 
     
    There are many mysteries around the Antarctic, theories which connect Operations Paperclip and High-Jump, to secret hidden bases and ancient technologies, human experimentation and discovered hidden entrances.
     
     While the mainstream recently reported on further explorations in the Antarctica which they claim "holds the key" to mankind's future", what they do not do is connect the many dots which build a picture that appears to blur the lines between conspiracy and reality.

    FLIR expert says UFO video caught by police in Wales is “peculiar”

    The National Police Air Service of St. Athan in Wales tweeted a video of an object caught on their helicopter mounted infrared camera that they could not see with their eyes. Apparently, they are baffled by the object and are asking their twitter followers for help identify the object. We spoke with a FLIR expert, and he agrees, the video is “peculiar.”

    The video was posted on twitter on September 23, 2016. The comment with the tweet read, “Any suggestions?? Nothing seen by local [Air Traffic Control]??” The tweet included an alien face emoji.

    Any suggestion?? Nothing seen by local ATC… 👽?? pic.twitter.com/Hu07DLmn3z

    — NPAS St Athan (@NPAS_StAthan) September 23, 2016

    The video shows a round object that appears to moving through the sky. It is black, meaning that the object is emitting heat. The infrared camera is made to pick up heat and it shows high heat sources as black.

    When asked when the video was captured, NPAS responded, “It was on Saturday night about 21:30 and was spotted over the Bristol channel at approx 1000ft.”

    It was suggested it was a balloon, but NPAS replied, “Only slight problem is the amount of heat and it was travelling into wind?”

    As for the size, when asked, NPAS replied, “Really difficult to judge the size but we filmed it for just over 7 minutes as we were coming back into land.”

    And when asked if it is a Chinese Lantern, NPAS said, “We really don’t know but doubt it was a lantern as it was going into the wind.”

    They also said they did try to capture the object with a daylight camera, but nothing showed up. Not being able to see the object is another indication it was not a Chinese Lantern, as it would have been glowing.

    NPAS says the video they posted, which is a little over a minute long, is only part of the full video. They say the full video is seven minutes. When asked where it is, they say the police have it now. It appears the NPAS filmed a video screen with a cell phone in order to post it online. For a few frames, the person filming the video can be seen.

    A person can be seen filming in this frame.

    The video is a bit reminiscent of another infrared UFO video caught by law enforcement in Puerto Rico in 2013. I reached out to David, an infrared camera expert who works on law enforcement systems. He alsoanalyzed the Puerto Rico UFO video for us. He found the NPAS video to be very “peculiar.”

    A still image form the video captured by Homeland Security in Puerto Rico.

    David wrote: “From what I could gather from the video, the FLIR they’re using is most likely a STAR HD from FLIR Systems Inc., which is a high-definition infrared system. They are flying in the dark, so the only video they got a good look at the object with was in the infrared (IR). It might have also had a Low-Light sensor on it, but it may or may not have been useful. I primarily work on these systems, and know them well.”

    David is not so sure the object is moving, in fact he states, “This object doesn’t deviate in elevation hardly at all. The FLIR azimuth (left-right) travel is definitely moving, to which I can guess is because of the travel of the helicopter. However, the elevation travel only ranges from -8 to +6 degrees. This might also be due to the travel of the helicopter. In other words, it appears as if this object is stationary in the sky.”

    “I see where they switched over to the day cam and got nothing but a black screen,” David continued. “Later, I see that they attempted to focus the object, as seen by the “slider bar” in the top left. They go through all of the Fields of View: wide, medium, narrow, super narrow, and ultra narrow. This system uses a ‘step-zoom’ that flips lenses into place.”

    As for what the object might be, David is not too sure.

    “Things I can immediate dismiss: types of balloons, bird, aircraft. I wouldn’t totally dismiss a drone out yet, but it would be very large, hot, and circular in appearance.”

    Although David disagrees that the object might be moving, he finds that aspect puzzling.

    “The strangest part of this video is what appears to be total lack of travel by the object. The twitchy nature of the video when the object is shown up close is due to the movement of the directional pad that steers the FLIR in azimuth and elevation.”

    In the video, the object does appear to be moving. However, it could be the helicopter’s movement that causes that effect. As the helicopter moves, if the object is stationary, the background will move, making it appear the object is moving when it is not.

    However, if the object is not moving, that would still be odd. A balloon or Chinese Lantern would move with the wind.

    As for the distance, David says, “It seems to me that it is a good distance from the helicopter. Hard to tell, maybe a mile or two.”

    So the mystery continues.

    The story is beginning to get attention from mainstream press. The latest being the UK paper The Telegraph. However, no one has come up with a solid idea of what the object might have been, yet.

    David, who prefers I not use his last name, says he will show his colleagues the video and let us know if they come up with anything. OpenMinds.tv will let you know if they have more to add.
