Orb UFOs photographed hovering over Georgia
Orb UFOs photographed hovering over Georgia
A Georgia witness at Newnan reported watching and photographing two hovering orb UFOs that eventually moved away in two different directions, according to testimony in Case 79837 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside on a walk about 7:30 p.m. on October 16, 2016, about 15 miles south of Hartsfield Jackson Airport when the incident occurred.
“There were two very bright lights in the sky, not airplane lights,” the witness stated.“Living so close to the airport I see airplane lights all the time and know the landing patterns of the planes. They were out of the landing path from the west and east of the directions of the planes in the area. The orb lights stood out like a sore thumb. The orbs were also closer together than any planes would be on approach to the airport.”
The witness first thought the lights were airplanes.

“I saw two very round, circular, glowing orbs. Like perfect glowing circles. Almost star-like in color.”
After taking pictures with an iPhone 6s+ the witness zoomed in to see if he can get a better look.
“In the middle of the orbs there seemed to be something in the middle of each of them, but not sure if it is just distortion or not. I always look for UFOs, so I was excited that this could be my first potential sighting. I had no other feelings other than excitement. I texted my buddy the picture and he check flightradar24 and nothing on the app showing aircraft in the area matching the two orbs in that area. I am always skeptical of ever seeing anything like this, but this was different than anything I have ever seen before.”
The total sighting time was about 10 minutes.

“I wasn’t 100 percent sure, so I started walking down the hill to my house. I as started walking, each orb went in separate directions in a slow, controlled line. It was odd to me that they were going the opposite direction of the landing patterns of the planes. They went below the tree line (in the pictures) and I didn’t see them again.”
Georgia MUFON State Director Ralph Howard is investigating. Newnan is a city in Metro Atlanta and the county seat of Coweta County, Georgia, population 41,109. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
The Lock, not far from the coast of Scotland where the u-boat was found, is very shrouded in mystery. The Loch Ness has always intrigued me since reading a book about it as a child. I even watch the live cam every now and then. I have tied in several historical alien and UFO sightings in that area from over 60 years ago, but is this monster technologically built by aliens, or an actually ETI (Exterestrial Intelligence)? The Loch is deep so it could be hiding an alien base at its bottom. What they need in a robotic drone sub with infrared imaging to cut though all that murky water. Hopefully one day, will will catch this creature. Scott C. Waring
News states: The wreck of a German U-boat that sank almost 100 years ago has been discovered by engineers laying subsea power cables. Remarkable sonar images show the missing World War One submarine is largely intact and lying off the Galloway coast. Experts believe the vessel could be the UB-85, a sub that sank in 1918, according to official records. However, naval folklore suggests it may have been attacked by a "sea monster". Mysterious sinking: The entire crew of the U-boat is reported to have abandoned ship due to the "monster attack". Once aboard the British ship HM Drifter Coreopsis, their commander, Captain Krech described their encounter. He is said to have spoken of a beast with "large eyes, set in a horny sort of skull…with teeth that could be seen glistening in the moonlight". He apparently claimed that the sub was so damaged in its battle with the "monster", it could no longer submerge. However, Dr Innes McCartney, a historian and nautical archaeologist who helped identify the wreckage, does not believe the tale. (More at source.)
I found this at Wikileaks today. This is an email from an guy who works in a
secret area of the Canadian government that is similar to DARPA.
Email writer states:
"I represent a Canadian organization that doesn't exist that looks like DARPA, but works with the government to pursue positive growth business."
He states that he was given information that aliens want certain technology to be built by him, but he and his team are upset that they know little about the aliens that are going to use it. He wants more info so they can succeed at their mission and cooperate better with the US gov. He is also working on the ion drive for NASA! He says he knows inside info about "our alien overlords." He also says a mass extinction level event is very close. Scott C. Waring Email states:
Dear Mr. Podesta, My name is (I removed name since he is in a secret gov area, SCW), I am a Canadian citizen residing in Edmonton Alberta Canada. As a good neighbor and ally to the US, I was curious as to why NASA is feeding the Canadian Space Agency with wrong or misinformation regarding certain anomaly scenarios that are occurring. Our intelligence is limited. We rely on US-Canadian joint ventures to accomplish our goals which feed the US new wonderful tools. Why are we being shut out and shut down? I take this personally both as a Citizen of Canada and as a member of the scientific community. We cannot improve the ion drive systems if we are left out. If the US does not want to continue our long standing friendship, and solely act in its own best interests, then we can end the charade of NAFTA now. We were technologically superior to the US. We don't need the US. I think, and you will agree, that without our contributions, the US would not have grown the way it has. Canadians own Hollywood, New York, Florida, the Stanley Cup and by right, the Pennant that was stolen from us due to the baseball strike. (Here he says he knows of the treaties with aliens) By all rights and reason, we require full disclosure of all alien contact and all treaties the US has agreed to with the aliens. We might have weak intelligence, but we have ascertained that we are food, labor, and resource generators for the alien over lords. Our information came from your own DoD, casually and off the record by credible sources. Now we want to know if we are going to be dealt a hand at the table or will we be left out like last time? I represent a Canadian organization that doesn't exist that looks like DARPA, but works with the government to pursue positive growth business. Our interests lie in the contribution to the positive growth of humanity. We think that we can make the world better, happier and more peaceful. But we can't do that if we are about to see a mass extinction event occur. Our historical data is wrong, our timelines are wrong, and with all the information being withheld or lied about, we have a very bad feeling that the US is leading us into a trap. If you can please help us help you it would be greatly appreciated! (right here he begins talking about the aliens the US and Canada are working for...the alien overlords that ask them to create these futuristic technology items to advance humanity. SCW) We just need to know who and what we are dealing with. What are their intentions? Are they hostile? Can we stop them if necessary? What deals were cut? If the US betrayed Canada's trust, or put itself forward at Canada's expense, we will not tolerate another Afghanistan situation. That was ten years of work wasted. We don't have to let the US win the cup or the pennant and we certainly don't have to keep our currency artificially deflated to satisfy US ego. (Here he threatens the US by saying Canada can make political deals for trade agreements with aliens, if the US doenst cooperate with his secret DARPA-like Organization.) We can also cut our own deals with these alien visitors/landed martians. But we won't engage them unless the US denies us access privileges and full debriefing. My advice is bring us to the table. We need more information because our data is currently not up to date. Our failed attempts at catching UFOs showed how weak we were. This is because we do not know what we are up against. We need more data. Plus, with the magnetic north pole moving towards the equator, we need help. If we can find allies that can help we would welcome it. Or in 20+ years we will all be dead anyway. Magnetic North now over Siberia. In ten years it will be over the black sea. In 20 years it will be over Indonesia. If the US cut a deal, now would be a good time to start calling in favors!
This is an interesting and eye opening video by Secureteam10 of Youtube. It talks about a pdf and wikileak, but most importantly, it talks about Project Firesign...formerly known as Project Blue beam, which was built on the foundation of HAARP program. Now back in the early 1980s, three reporters discovered and leaked info to the news agencies about Project Blue Beam...all were murdered by US agents within a few months. This is a dangerous topic for UFO researchers, so if Secureteam10 wants to tackle it, hats off to them. This is some important and useful info the public needs to know about.
This PDF is from the Benson Strategy Group, which says in the pdf that they have the option (but not recommended) to use an "improved strains of ZIKV have been delivered and we have disseminated them to operatives." Which is meant to make voters hide indoors and is lethal. This Benson group sounds like a dark budget spy group for the US government. Cool stuff, but freaky scary to know the gov is considering such options to sway an election either way.
UFO Fragment Dating Back 250,000 Years Found In Romania, (Tested Positive), Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Fragment Dating Back 250,000 Years Found In Romania, (Tested Positive), Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date discovered: 1973 Location discovered: Romania This object is very similar in appearance to the old Bob White alien artifact found back in 1985, when it fell from a huge ball of light in the sky. Bob White states;
"It was huge, the size of a very big barn. I got out of the car for a better look. "For some unknown reason, Jan turned on the headlights, and this light went up in the sky as fast as my eyes could follow it. "Then I saw another small light, bright orange with a tinge of yellow, white, and blue falling from it."
Bob White aluminum object seen falling from a UFO ball of light.
Mr White said he climbed an incline and headed for where he thought it would have landed. He said:
"I found a groove in the ground about 18 inches deep and nine inches wide. "I followed the groove and there it lay. "It was still glowing."
After 13 laboratory tests it was confirmed the discovery was a solid centred aluminum alloy, just like this new UFO fragment found in Romania. Also the color appears the same.
Scott C. Waring
Video states: A piece aluminium that looks as if it was handmade is being hailed as 250,000-year-old proof that aliens once visited Earth. The discovery of the mysterious chunk of metal in communist Romania in 1973 was not made public at the time, according to CEN. Testing has since revealed that the object is made of 12 metals and is 90 per cent aluminium with Romanian officials dating it as being 250,000 years old. The initial results were later confirmed by a lab in Lausanne, Switzerland, CEN reports. Metallic aluminium was not really produced by mankind until around 200 years ago, so the discovery of the large chunk that it claimed to be up to 250,000 years old is being held up as a sensational find. In 1973, builders working on the shores of the Mures River not far from the central Romanian town of Aiud found three objects 10 metres (33 feet) under the ground. They appeared to be unusual and very old, and archaeologists were bought in who immediately identified two of them as being fossils. The third looked like a piece of man-made metal, although very light, and it was suspected that it might be the end of an axe. All three were sent together with the others for further analysis to Cluj, the main city of the Romanian region of Transylvania. It was quickly determined that the two large bones belonged to a large extinct mammal that died 10,000-80,000 years ago, but experts were stunned to find out that the third object was a piece of very lightweight metal, and appeared to have been manufactured. The object is 20 centimetres (7.8 inches) long, 12.5 centimetres (4.9 inches) wide and 7 centimetres (2.8 inches) thick. What puzzled experts is that the piece of metal has concavities that make it look as if it was manufactured as part of a more complex mechanical system. Now a heated debate is going on that the object is actually part of a UFO and proof of visitation by an alien civilisation in the past. Gheorghe Cohal, the Deputy Director of the Romanian Ufologists Association, told local media: 'Lab tests concluded it is an old UFO fragment given that the substances it comprises cannot be combined with technology available on Earth.' However, local historian Mihai Wittenberger claims that the object is actually a metal piece from a World War II German aircraft. He believes that it is a piece of the landing gear from a Messerschnmitt ME 262. The UFO hunters say that this explanation does not explain the age of the artifact. The metal object has now gone on display in the History Museum of Cluj-Napoca, with a sign that reads 'origin still unknown'.

Hot Earths — scorched, Earth-size worlds that are closer to their stars than Mercury is to the sun — may often be lonely planets, either far removed from any other worlds or the only planets in their systems, a new study finds.
These isolated hot Earths may be the charred remnants of much-larger worlds, or they may be exoplanets whose interactions with massive disks of gas and dust dragged them perilously close to their stars, researchers said.
In the past two decades, astronomers have confirmed the existence of nearly 3,400 worlds outside Earth's solar system, many of which NASA's Kepler space telescope found. These discoveries have revealed that some distant exoplanets such as "super-Earths" — large rocky planets up to 10 times Earth's mass — are very different from those seen in Earth's own solar system. [Gallery: The Strangest Alien Planets]
Exoplanetary systems also often differ from Earth's solar system in their so-called architecture, or how close alien worlds' orbits are to each other and their stars. For example, a number of exoplanetary systems either consist of a single planet or have a planet that is extremely isolated from its siblings.
"In the solar system, and among most of the planetary systems discovered by Kepler, planets tend to be pretty close together," said study lead authorJason Steffen, an astronomer at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. In comparison, if Earth were as solitary as some of these isolated exoplanets, "our nearest neighbor would be beyond the orbit of Saturn," Steffen said. "It takes something unusual to produce such a wide separation between neighboring planets."
To uncover clues about why single-planet and multiplanet systems evolved in different ways, scientists analyzed Kepler data on 3,063 candidate exoplanetsin 2,373 systems. This included 1,890 candidates in single-planet systems and 1,173 candidates in 483 multiplanet systems.
"It's important to understand all of the pathways that planetary systems can take, and to know how frequently those paths are taken," Steffen told Space.com. "This information helps us improve our models for how planets form and how systems evolve. Ultimately, we want to do more than just measure how many planets there are in different orbits — we want to know how they got there." [Gallery: A World of Kepler Planets]
The researchers focused on 144 exoplanet candidates that are hot Earths, worlds whose orbits are so close to their stars that these planets take only about one Earth day to circle their stars. In comparison, Mercury's orbital period, or year, is about 88 days long, while Earth's is the familiar year, or about 365 days long.
The researchers estimated that more than one-sixth of these hot Earths are isolated; they are either the only planets around their stars, or they're so distant from their planetary siblings that they're effectively single planets. These isolated hot Earths seem about as common as hot Jupiters, gas giants that orbit their stars closer than Mercury does the sun.
"In this way, this kind of result is like finding a new species of plant or animal. It marks a distinct evolutionary path that branched off from our own at some point in the past," Steffen said. "Just as how we can learn a lot about civilization by studying the histories of different nations, we can learn a lot about our solar system by studying the histories of different exoplanetary systems."
Alien Exoplanet Expert
Astronomers have confirmed more than 800 planets beyond our own solar system, and the discoveries keep rolling in. How much do you know about these exotic worlds?
These isolated hot Earths might come from the leftover cores of hot Jupiters, after these giant worlds have their atmospheres burned off due to their searing proximity to their stars, the researchers said. Hot Jupiters are typically isolated planets, likely because their gravitational pulls disrupted the formation of any nascent planets near them, researchers said.
Hot Earths might instead have formed in massive disks of gas and dust, having been originally located farther away from their stars, the researchers said. These disks interact with the planets, making the worlds spiral toward their stars. Eventually, the disks dissipate, and hot Earths are left very near their stars, the researchers said. Previous research suggested that this is why the Kepler-10 system may have a hot Earth and a more distant planet with an orbital period more than 50 times longer.
Future research can pinpoint how commonly isolated hot Earths occur and yield more insights as to how these planets might have formed, Steffen said. For instance, NASA's planned Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will study stars that are brighter and much closer to Earth than Kepler's target stars; the TESS stars can literally shed more light on any isolated hot Earths around them.
"We want to know the answers to questions like, 'How many systems are like these? What other planets, if any, are in these systems, and where do those planets live? Are there any distinguishing properties of the stars that we couldn't see in the Kepler data?'" Steffen said.
Steffen and his colleague Jeffrey Coughlin at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, detailed their findings online Oct. 10 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Volcanoes on Venus Erupted Recently, New Study Suggests
Volcanoes on Venus Erupted Recently, New Study Suggests

PASADENA, Calif. –Volcanic activity on Venus took place in the recent past, geologically speaking, and may still be happening on the planet today. New research takes a deeper look at one recent eruption on Venus' surface.
The Idunn Mons volcano in the southwestern hemisphere of Venus rises 1.6 miles (2.5 kilometers) above the surrounding plains. In 2010, observations by the European Space Agency's Venus Express probe revealed that Idunn Mons is a "hotspot," meaning it radiates high levels of infrared light compared to the surrounding area. That suggests that lava flowed at the spot recently, and that the area is still warm.
Now, a more nuanced look at Idunn Mons suggests that the hotspot observations are consistent with multiple (cooled) lava flows along the volcano's eastern flank, the new research shows. The researchers behind the new work said the finding suggests that Venus' volcanos were active in therelatively recent past, and may still be active today. [Photos of Venus, the Mysterious Planet Next Door]
"Venus is a planet which has always been considered Earth's twin sister," said Piero D'Incecco of the German Aerospace Center and one of the researchers behind the new analysis. "But its cloud cover still hides a lot of secrets."
D'Incecco spoke at a media briefing at the American Astronomical SocietyDivision for Planetary Sciences meeting in Pasadena, California.
Venus Express initially identified the hotspot on Idunn Mons in 2010 using the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS) instrument. Most of Venus' surface appears cool when viewed with VIRTIS, and this is a sign that those regions haven't changed (geologically speaking) in millions of years. By contrast, the researchers who initially studied the hotspot estimated that the region could be less than 2.5 million years old. Unfortunately, the thick clouds that cover Venus prevented the Venus Express probe from getting a more detailed look at the volcano and the lava flows.
A geologic map of the eastern flank of Idunn Mons, displaying five lava flow units (lfu), identified using numerical simulations and radar data from the Magellan probe. The lfu are labeled "a" to "e." Lfu-a lies on the volcano's summit, while lfu-b through lfu-e are located on the volcano's flanks.

The new analysis of lava flows on Idunn Mons uses radar data collected in the early 1990s by NASA's Magellan probe. D'Incecco and colleagues built a new numerical model to simulate lava flows on the top of the mountain and the eastern flanks, and compared that model with the Magellan data.
"According to our modeling, the flank lava flows are the ones responsible for this [hot]spot," D'Incecco said. "This is particularly important because this is the first time we can map, with such a high resolution, lava flows from avolcanic structure which is believed to be recently or still active on a terrestrialbody other than Earth."

Close Encounter in New Jersey
Earle Naval Weapons Station
Monmouth County, New Jersey — Joseph Foster former Coast Guard and FBI agent reports I have been privy to a number of “interesting” UFO related events. The original event I reported took place in the summer of 1958, around August when as a child of ten years old, I lived on Dorbrook Farm with my family. This farm was located in the town of Colts Neck, and later became Dorbrook Park. This town is also adjacent to a military base designated Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Earle. The base, then as now, is a major ammunition storage facility of the U. S. Navy. It consists of the storage facilities (rumored for years to have “non-conventional” munitions stored there) and its pier and handling facilities that are on Raritan bay, about 13 miles to the north in Leonardo, NJ (on of 13 villages comprising Middletown Township).
Sometime around August of that year my family (mother, father and sister) along with several neighbors were enjoying a pleasant summer evening sitting in our respective front yards located on Route 537 (across the street and a couple of hundred yards beyond a pasture that ran up to the Navy’s Normandy Road, otherwise known as the Navy or government road and rail line). It was around 7:00 pm that evening when we witnessed a unique daylight UFO sighting. This event was never reported in the press, nor was it ever satisfactorily explained to this day.
The object observed was a bright, silver, metallic sphere with reflective properties, similar to that of silver or perhaps polished aluminum (I sighted a similar object years later while at sea and in the Coast Guard returning from a Westpac deployment). The object’s approximate size was that of a pencil eraser held at arms length. The sphere-like object also displayed approximately twenty or so randomly blinking red and white points of light. These blinking lights seemed to flash all around the object however did not appear to be directly attached to it (a similar object was reported to have landed close to the pier facilities years later in July of 1970).
What makes this sighting interesting is that the location of the farm from which the object was first viewed was/is adjacent to the U.S. Navy road and railroad linking the main secure munitions storage facilities to its two mile long finger pier (the largest of its kind in the world) and its adjacent handling functions located 13 miles away in the town of Leonardo, NJ. The road itself is restricted to “authorized use only”, therefore being military traffic and to those officially tasked with moving naval munitions to and from the storage facilities located in Colts Neck. The base services various Navy and Coast Guard ships that tie up at its pier location to on-load and off-load munitions. Note: You could always tell when “interesting” munitions were being transported because the vehicles (be they train or truck) were accompanied by a squad of armed Marines who would block each intersection until the train or truck had passed on it way to and from the pier.
Our modest farmhouse was located facing east on a road then known as RD#1 Eatontown, Rte 537 or just the Old Scobyville road. Looking eastward from my front porch directly across that road and beyond a large pasture, I could easily view the Navy road and railroad winding its way between the main base and its loading facility in Leonardo. It should be noted that the farm’s location is especially significant because it is also close to Earle and Fort Monmouth, two critical military facilities and a world famous AT&T/Western Electric Research and Development laboratory known as Bell Labs. All three of these facilities until recently were considered significant to the military and from a purely, advanced scientific research and development standpoint. Note: This is the Bell Laboratories at which the transistor was invented by Shockly and his team, advanced radar was refined and the first satellite communications capability then known as Telstar was born.
The object itself I observed was moving in what appeared to be on a slightly southwesterly direction at a speed of 40 to 120 mph. Its altitude was between 500 to 1000 feet.
The location from which the object was viewed was essentially from the front yard and porch of my house.
In the diagram with a red arrow indicating the direction of flight of the UFO in relation to the farm and the Navy road (“S” shaped green roadway alongside the red arrow). All of the witnesses were facing the direction of the blue arrow. The map shows the layout of the farm as it was at the time. The house can still be seen on the map indicated by the small red circle and the origin of the blue arrow indicating direction facing the sighting. The red circle encompasses the buildings located on the farm.
The picture is an aerial photograph of the crop circle and the photograph below indicates the current configuration of the Farm as it is today. Just as a sidebar, several years ago a crop circle also appeared on the farm that is now a county park (see red circle on map).

It should be noted that many years later (around 1995) I came across another witness who observed the same object several miles to the north of my location. This other witness told me that the object actually landed behind his house overlooking a swampy area on the Swimming River. This person lives in the River Plaza section of Middletown Township and is located close to Exit 109 on the GS Parkway.
The object according to the witness actually landed in a marshy area near where Newman Springs Road crosses the Swimming River, between the towns of Red Bank and River Plaza. The location also falls directly along a course and direct line of flight from the Navy’s Leonardo pier facilities to the Ammunition Depot proper located in Colts Neck.
It was also years later I came across the last witness who worked at Fort Monmouth. He is the one who related the story of the object’s actual landing. This is where a UFO crash and explosion at a Nike (anti-aircraft radar guided missile system) site would be linked years later.
Missile Sites Destroyed
Nike Ajax Missile
This now gets me to that linkage between Nike and this event. There were actually two events that took place in May of 1958 involving separate Nike Ajax missile batteries. NY-53 (part of the New York Air Defense system) was a Nike Ajax battery co-located next to the Navy Road in the Leonardo section of Middletown Township about 1 ½ miles from the pier facilities and about 10 miles from Dorbrook farm. On May 22, 1958 the worst accident involving the Nike Ajax missile system took place at this site. Ten men were killed when an entire launch section consisting of eight Ajax missiles, all above ground on their launchers, fully fueled and armed blew up in what was a chain reaction.
Destroyed Nike Ajax
The formal report was that it was a “maintenance upgrade” accident. However, in light of another Nike Ajax incident in the same month and same year involving a UFO, this Leonardo incident may have to be looked at again. Note: Heavy UFO sightings were common at this time and UFOs are known to return fire when fired on.
The other Nike Ajax event involving a reported UFO sighting (and crash) took place, also in May of 1958 at a site designated W-93 (W for Washington Nike defense system). This site was located partially in Olney and in Gaithersburg Maryland. Harlan Bentley who was an Army radar operator at the time reported that there were sightings and radar contact with a number of UFOs over a period of time. One morning around 6:00 AM, Mr. Bentley while inside his fenced in compound observed an object careening into the field outside of the fence then again gaining altitude. It dropped a refrigerator sized object back into the field. According to Mr. Bentley, there was also a farmer who was working in the field that stopped and both watched the events as they unfolded. Middletown Nike explosion occurred 22 May.
Mr. Bentley reported this event on a recently released “UFO Disclosure” video. He also stated that he was a radar operator at the time and was associated with this site. As mentioned, the object that left behind radioactive debris that was reportedly recovered by the US Air Force at the time shortly after the event. He and the rest of the battery were told that the Air Force had an experimental aircraft and that is what crashed. They were also told that they were not to discuss this event.
Some time between 1960 and 1966 after the site was decommissioned and acquired by FEMA region two to be used as an underground, classified, regional command center. There is a strong indication that there may in fact be a linkage between these two Nike batteries and the UFO events that transpired in both geographic locations. For the Navy road add a significant event that took place in 1970 again, about 1 ½ miles away from the Navy pier and you end up with strong circumstantial evidence. For the 1970 incident, there may be another tie to the Nike system, this time perhaps involving a nuclear-armed Nike.
Note: Hercules missile as opposed to the conventionally armed Ajax. No “smoking gun” but definitely food for thought and investigation.
Editor’s Note:Coast Guard personnel report a likely base off the coast as UFOs are often seen entering and leaving the Atlantic Ocean.
McGuire AFB N.J. Bomarc Missile Site
On 7 June 1960, an explosion occurred causing a fire in a liquid-fueled, nuclear-tipped BOMARC missile site in the Northeast corner of McGuire Air Force Base. To my knowledge no other air to air missiles were destroyed nationwide except those in New Jersey where heavy UFO presence was reported.
Were the UFOs giving us a warning against using nuclear tipped missiles to destroy Soviet bombers. All sites were eventually decommissioned.
Underground Facilities
Raven Rock Underground
Bill Hamilton writes, One of the earliest American underground facilities was built at Raven Rock in Pennsylvania. The military refer to it as “Site R.” Sounds like “Section D.” Raven Rock was picked because it is made of greenstone, a type of granite that is the fourth hardest rock on earth. Construction started in 1950, and engineers had completed a series of tunnels and a three-story building by 1953. Two more three-story buildings were completed by 1963. The complex lies 650 feet beneath the 1,529-foot-high summit of Raven Rock and can be entered through four portals. The mountain has everything needed to survive a catastrophe: some of the best dining in the Army, chemical suits, a fitness center, a medical facility, a barbershop, legal services, a chapel, designated smoking areas and a convenience store. It has six 1,000 kilowatt generators and 35 miles of cable on 180 telephone poles. Remember, this is one of the early underground sites, and probably does not compare with some of the new underground cities that have been constructed in more recent years.
Mount Weather
One of the first of nearly 100 Federal Relocation Centers was built in rural Virginia’s Mount Weather. It took years to complete, but when complete resembled a city more than an emergency installation. Mount Weather was equipped with such amenities as private apartments and dormitories, streets and sidewalks, cafeterias and hospitals, a water purification system, power plant, and general office buildings. The site includes a small lake fed by fresh water from underground springs. It even has its own mass transit system–small electric cars that run on rechargeable batteries and make regular shuttle runs throughout the city.
As recently as 1992, the papers reported the existence of a Cold War secret, the government had built a $14 million underground bunker in West Virginia and maintained it for more than three decades for Congress to use in the event of a nuclear attack.
White Sulphur Springs
The hideaway Capitol was built under the fashionable Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, about 250 miles from Washington. Its location was known only to a relative handful of the nation’s highest- ranking officials. From 1958 on, the very existence of this facility was a closely guarded secret. Very few in Congress or the executive branch knew of the program. The rumors that an underground city exists under the Enchantment Resort in Boynton Canyon in Sedona, Arizona may not be so far fetched after all. Eggs cannot be put in one basket. The Greenbrier bunker has living quarters and work space for 800 people as well as separate meeting halls for the House and Senate.
Ramenke, Russia
We are always willing to release more about the other side’s secrets than our own. We find that the Kremlin and other buildings in Moscow are still linked by underground rail tunnels to an area about six miles outside the city center called Ramenki, site of a vast subterranean bunker designed for the country’s leaders and their families. It was described as an underground city about 500 acres in size, built at several levels from 230 feet to 395 feet. This bunker could shelter as many as 120,000 people!
Oakville-GradeNapa California
According to the Napa Sentinel, a secret underground installation is under construction near the Oakville Grade in Napa County, California, and is being used by the Government for direct satellite communication, the Continuity of Government (COG) program in case of nuclear attack or other disasters, and secure communication links with the outside world in case of disaster.
YUCCA MOUNTAIN
Not all underground sites are shelters. The Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project took a first step in November, 1993 when it started construction on the entrance pad for its Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF). This pad is the launching point for 14 miles of tunnels that will be drilled directly under Yucca Mountain. The tunnels will measure 24-30 feet in diameter for some and 16-18 feet in diameter for others. This project will eventually cover some 70 acres of surface and underground facilities. This DOE project will contain alcoves for experiments located along the tunnels.
Skeptics have expressed doubts about the existence of extensive underground tunneling and cavitation. They always ask, “Where is all the dirt?” This method of asking a question to disprove an allegation is misleading and faulty logic at best. Skeptics favorite question about the alien presence is “Why don’t they land on the White House Lawn?” Of course, the rejoinder should be “Keep off the Grass signs prevent them.”
One of the new methods of tunneling that have been under study is “nuclear tunnel boring.” U.S. Patent No. 3,693,731 dated Sept. 26, 1972 describes a method and apparatus for tunneling by melting. It says, “a machine and method for drilling bore holes and tunnels by melting in which a housing is provided for supporting a heat source and a heated end portion and in which the necessary melting heat is delivered to the walls of the end portion at a rate sufficient to melt rock and during operation of which the molten material may be disposed adjacent the boring zone in cracks in the rock and as a vitreous wall lining of the tunnel so formed. The heat source can be electrical or nuclear. The melted rock is forced into cracks wherein heat is given up to the crack surfaces and freezes as a glass at some distance from the penetrator. This amazing boring device is capable of drilling at depths totally inaccessible with previous drilling techniques, even, according to the patent claims, down to 30,000 meters. The nuclear tunnel boring machines were invented by scientists and engineers at Los Alamos, called their new machine, the “Subterrene.” In 1975, an A. A. Mathews, Inc. report reveals that the initial experiments were done in the 1960s and the Subterrene performs its job rapidly and economically by “the formation of a glass lining. The use of a nuclear reactor and heat pipes to provide power for kerf penetration within the tunneling machine itself contributes to the overall economy of the system. A Los Alamos symposium held in Atlantic City in 1986 proposed the construction of a Subselene for tunnel melting for high-speed lunar subsurface transportation tunnels on the moon.
US Air Force Drilling Machine
There is rumors of a subterranean highway through America just like our own Interstate highway system, except its underground. There are shuttle tubes that “shoot” the trains at incredible speed using a mag-lev and vacuum method. They travel in excess of the speed of sound. Skeptics have scoffed at claims that 100-mile long tunnels run from one military base to another. Yet, engineers have planned for tunnels to span the nation. Skeptics do not believe in alien visitations. It is even more difficult for them to accept the idea that aliens have inhabited the earth for a long time and like to live underground and out of sight.
Chinese satellite photo far side of Moon
Huge structures discovered in close-up photos of lunar features indicate that ancient alien artifacts have graced the surface of our satellite. It is only a small step for aliens to have come to earth and built habitats. Chinese photo of Moon Base Captured By Chang’e-2 Orbiter? 2012 We cannot prove that aliens or alien technology exists in secret underground facilities. There are an increasing number of abductees who report being taken to underground bases. Perhaps ancient underground facilities will eventually reveal the truth.
Robert Salter, of the RAND Corporation, has suggested building a subway from New York to Los Angeles magnetically levitated above the tracks. The trains would zip through the evacuated tunnels crossing the country in less than one hour. Building such a train presents no special technological problems, but the cost of tunneling from coast to coast would. The beauty of the Subterrene is that, as it burrows through the rock hundreds of feet below the surface, it heats whatever stone it encounters into molten rock, or magma, which cools after the Subterrene has moved on. The result is a tunnel with a smooth, glazed lining. For power, the Subterrene can use a built-in minature nuclear engine or even a conventional power plant. Thanks to Bill Hamilton,
Ancient Egyptian Tunnel
Editor’s Note: Whether or not nuclear subterrene tunneling machines have been used, or are being used, for subterranean tunneling is a question I cannot presently answer. However, a friend who won the Best New Jersey Teacher Award was given a tour of Egypt’s ancient archelogical sites that included tunnels that were guarded by soldiers with machine guns. She stated the tunnels were perfect with unbelievable accuracy and amazingly smooth that went on as far as you could see. She felt they must have been built by ET or an advanced race.
EMP Could Destroy our Civilization
An executive order by President Obama was issued Thursday, October 14, that outlined the country’s contingency plan in the event such weather events lead to significant disruption to systems like the electrical power grid, satellite operations or aviation. Allegedly the Russians have a EMP weapon that also could wipe out the electrical power grid in the United States.
“Space weather and the EMP weapon has the potential to simultaneously affect and disrupt health and safety across entire continents,”the order states.
An active region on the sun emitting a mid-level solar flare is seen in an image captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) November 5, 2014. President Barack Obama is calling for preparations to be made to mitigate the effects of extreme weather events.REUTERS/NASA/SDO.
“It is the policy of the United States to prepare for space weather events to minimize the extent of economic loss and human hardship.”
Obama’s order warns that if large portions of the nation’s electrical power grid is knocked out by a large solar flare or EMP, it would result in cascading failures that would affect your home’s electrical system, water supply, healthcare and transportation.
Preparing a response for an event of this kind is described in the order as an “all-of-nation endeavor” that requires cooperation between government agencies like NASA, the media, academia, the insurance industry, and the private sector. The space weather referred to in the order also includes temporary disturbances to the Earth’s magnetic field caused by solar activity, as well as something known as solar energetic particles, which are ions and electrons ejected from the sun.
Solar flares are common occurrences and rarely cause any knock-on effects on Earth. They refer to brief eruptions of intense energy on or near the Sun’s surface that are typically associated with sunspots.
Large power transformers (LPT) that maintain the power grid are suseptible to distruction by EMP weapons or the sun. Replacement LPTs have long been a major concern for the U.S. electric power sector, because failure of a single unit can cause service interruption and lead to collateral damages, and it could be difficult to quickly replace. LPT can cost millions of dollars and weigh between 100 and 400 tons. Manufacturing of LPTs is a complex process that requires prequalification of manufacturers, the purchase of special copper and electrical steel, and special modes of transportation due to its size and weight. The result is the possibility of extended lead times that could stretch beyond 20 months.
Perhaps the most famous incident of space weather having dramatic consequences on Earth was a solar storm in 1859 known as the Carrington Event. Auroras were seen as far south as the Caribbean and telegraph systems across Europe and North America failed.
Following the publication of Obama’s order, the secretary of energy is now set to consult with the secretary of homeland security to test and evaluate devices that could mitigate the effects of severe storm weather.http://www.newsweek.com/
Note: Prudent people should consider stock piling food, water, and preparing for posible survival techniques without electricty. The politicians of many nations have prepared underground facilities to protect themselves. Unless you have written orders to let you into these facilities you’re on your own.
The winged rocket will have space for 20 passengers. Trips on the space craft would cost between $200,000 and $250,000, according to Han Pengxin, a team leader at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. This puts it at around the same price as flights offered by Virgin Galactic.This price would be achieved by adding a payload to the craft, such as a satellite, which would offset the competitive pricing for space tourists.

Filer’s Files #43 – 2016 Missile Sites Destroyed - PART II
Filer’s Files #43 – 2016 Missile Sites Destroyed - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
California Object
Sudbury — I looked up while having a smoke outside on October 12, 2016, and a craft from the west appeared and was heading east.
Clearly a disc shaped object with two pulsating lights at front with windows in the middle.
Object was very low and no sound. Flew by and went behind houses. It was only viable for 5 seconds but it was not a plane.
Yosemite National Park — This is information and footage/screenshots from a friend that was sent to me. He was filming the landscape on October 10, 2916. He actually did not notice that he captured a video of a UFO until later. The object appears flying through the sky and slightly banking to its right extremely fast and completely silent, we were both in the military together and agreed that was mot a military craft. As you can see from the footage it appears in upper left corner and disappears behind the mountains to the right. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Triangles
Aurora — Around 11 o’clock at Babi Yar Park in Denver four of my friends and I were filming a video project for school on October 15, 2016.
. I looked up to see an object that looks like a B-52 bomber, but it was matte black dark and made no noise. The object had a leading edge of 10 lights with one in the center and four on the sides of the leading edge of the wings. The object was flying Southwest about 2000 feet moving at around 300 miles an hour. I asked my friends to look up and immediately 3 of the 4 saw the object but one only saw a flying blob. After 15 seconds the object made a shallow bank South and disappeared into the night sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
Winter Park — I was driving home after picking up my daughter on September 29, 2016, and my ex then I saw on the horizon six red objects.
I stopped the car and got out using my cell phone I started to take pictures by that time they started to change color and disappear my ex was scared at first and me and my daughter were excited to be able to see them right in front of us this is not the first time I’ve seen UFOs in this neighborhood. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Georgia Lights
Newnan — I was taking a walk about dusk around 7:30 pm on October 16, 2016, about 15 miles south of Hartsfield Jackson Airport. There two very bright lights in the sky, that were not airplane lights. The orb lights stood out and were also closer together than any planes would be on approach to the airport. They were very round, glowing circle , glowing orbs. After taking the pictures with an iPhone 6s , I zoomed in and in the middle of the orbs there seems to be something in the middle of each of them. I was excited that this could be my first l sighting. I texted my buddy the picture and he checked flightradar 24 but nothing on the app showed aircraft in the area. I started walking down the hill as each orb went in a separate direction Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Light
Elgin — About 11:30pm Friday October 14, 2016, I went outside on my patio and saw there was a nice full moon. I was focused my camera toward the moon and at the bottom of the screen I saw a light that I thought was a star. I snapped the picture and I aimed my camera again. This time the light that I thought was a star kept abruptly moving in various directions. Suddenly it would disappear and a second later reappeared several times then shot straight up behind the moon. It came over the top of the moon as a larger red oval with a whitish green glowing center and disappeared. I called my boyfriend who also was able to see it moving. It again came over the top of the moon as a larger red oval with a whitish green glowing center. None of this was visible to the naked eye. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Three Shapes
Canton — She saw the three shapes moving across a blue sky.
She took the pictures with her cell phone on October 9, 2016.
She said they moved very fast in formation. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon Rectangle
Canby— On September 25, 2016, I’m not sure what this is, but it was in a video my mom took of a bird and it goes across the screen in just three frames. (her iPhone captures video at 16 FPS). I would like to have it analyzed by a paranormal specialist, but I cannot attach the video because it is too high of a resolution for my phone to be able to send or hers by text or email. If anyone can identify this for me, please do so. I am attaching a still from the video of the object. The timestamp is at 12 PM Pacific time. I just want answers. I can’t send the video because it is on my mom’s phone. It was moving way faster than anything biological at an estimated 170 MPH+?.
Note: It is difficult to analyze the frames without seeing the video. However, I don’t believe that the rectangle is a real object and is probably a reflection. A copy of the video has been requested. Updates will be posted. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Texas Orb
Greenville– I was looking at the full moon on October 15, 2016, and looked up and zoomed my iPhone and saw this object in the sky. It was a blue green sphere with pulsating lights. It was hovering, and then changed directions. The video could not capture it very well except for a few seconds. I had to go inside so had to stop recording. Thanks to MUFON CMS Note: A similar object was seen over San Antonio on October 5, 2016.
Washington Triangular Object
Vashon Island – On October 11, 2016, I saw the black triangular object descending in the eastern sky. It was surrounded in flames that were flickering as coming through our atmosphere flaming. I watched it for about 10 minutes as it slowly went down behind the treeline from my view on Vashon Island. The point of the black object in middle of flames was up and the wider end was going down.
Note: The photo does not show the dark triangular object described by the witness. Looking at the photo the object could be a meteor. However, cameras don’t always capture all relevant detail and the witness said that she saw a dark triangular object. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
West Virginia Triangle
Tornado — While in the yard with my son I saw the object fly slowly overhead and out of sight on October 16, 2016.
Then a few minutes later it returned going the opposite direction until disappearing behind the tree line. This is the second time in a month I have seen the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Alien Sighting
New South Wales — In the early hours of Saturday, October 1, 2016, I woke during the early hours of the morning, I noticed it was still dark outside, when I woke turned my body around in the direction of our bedroom door, where I saw a “grey” standing there. The height of the alien would have been over 6 feet, grey in color with black eye’s and a slender figure. He look directly at me, tilted his head to the side and made a movement with his arm, I felt so at peace that I dropped off again. Thankfully there was enough ambient light within the house to view him clearly. Later that week I attended the doctor’s, as I do every week for a scan and treatment, however on this scan, it showed that I’d been exposed to nuclear radiation. I told my story of my early morning encounter. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Object
Aberfoyle, Ontario — I left work at 8:56 p.m. on October 13, 2016, heading NE, I noticed two bright lights peaking in and out of the tree tops slightly to the south of me, but glimpses were fleeting. About 5 minutes later, I turned NW onto a hilly, windy road, and again, the two orbs stayed in the same spot. At 9:03, I reached the top of the hill and was able to pull over safely and film it. At that point they’d been hovering in place for 7 minutes. I took four thirty-to-sixty-second videos before my battery started to run low.Once I started descending the hill again in my car, I lost sight of them. The video is jumpy and all you can see are two glowing lights, so I took a print screen and adjusted the brightness and contrast to show the tree line for perspective. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Dominican Republic Disc
Azua de Compostela — I sent you some photos i took a few days ago.
i was taking photos to sunrise on September 29, 2016.
I didnt know there was something rare in one taken in Azua at 6:00 am. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Greece Triangle
Thessaloniki— My friends and I were standing in front of Hagia Sophia sightseeing on September 30, 2016, when we caught a glimpse of the described object in question. I immediately considered it to be some sort of UFO. The object was in shape of a triangle, translucent / transparent in color, with obscured outlines and unwavering lights at three apexes. It seemed to be hovering / floating over buildings, ascending, descending, leaning to sides. We were surprised, making no action; just taking two photos of object (unfortunately with a digital camera with almost discharged batteries which is the reason for the images to be of very low quality. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Guatemala Rectangle
Mixco — I was getting out of the house walking to my car on October 15, 2015. I am on a 2nd floor and have a clear view towards the hills where I saw a white flash emitted by the object. I thought it was a blimp or maybe a drone. After the flash I noticed the object which was moving slowly towards south that either flipped or changed shape. Now it was looking more like a rectangle. But then it disappeared behind a cloud. This made me change my mind about the size. No drone flies that high. The color was gray non reflective and there was no sun at the time of the sighting. The event lasted less than a minute. My guess is it was about 2-3 miles away which makes me guess that the size was about 70 feet. At first I was confused, no plane flies that slow. I couldn’t tell the exact shape. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Switzerland Disc
Geneva — About seven guys saw the ufo, near the Geneva Stadium from different angles on October 12, 2016. They all say the same thing, that it was a disc shape ufo that was literraly hovering in the air for about 30 seconds and then disappears in a flash. It had four lights on the side. You can view it quite properly in the images and videos. People were stunned and can’t believe what they just saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Turkey Sightings
Bodrum/Muðla — I was sitting in my house and was taking a video of the sky from my balcony on May 7, 2016.. I saved the video and when I reviewed it later I found the object changed to black. I’m unable to understand much of the description. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ankara — I was sitting in my apartment balcony and viewed in the sky unidentified bodies. This flying object went straight for a while. I was not afraid. I was just excited.
Some of us know of their frankly terrifying presenc. I wish to contribute to the MUFON website and I offer this report. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Orbs
Huntingdon —Driving from March to Benwick saw in the sky bright light going up and down with a trail behind it. Trail consisted of individual tiny lights – sparkly. This is the second consecutive year I’ve seen this phenomena over Huntingdon. On both occasions there was a lead light followed by a sparkly trail. The lead light simply moved up and down in a smooth, controlled motion with the sparkly trail following it. The movement was almost hypnotic and regular.. on the video you can see that it disappeared up into the clouds and did not reappear. The same happened last time. Both times the movement was regular; on the video you can see that it disappeared up into the clouds. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Andover — On October4, 2016, I was at work and went outside for tea break and several of us noticed a plane. I noticed a small shiny object ahead of the plane and pointed it out to the other people there and said it didn’t look like a plane. There were no wings and no vapour trail. I thought it was strange so I took some photos. The object seemed to increase the distance between it and the plane very slightly. I wondered if it was a UFO.Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mars dumpt met horten en stoten waterstof in de ruimte
Mars dumpt met horten en stoten waterstof in de ruimte
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Lang werd gedacht dat de atmosfeer van Mars continu dezelfde hoeveelheid water verloor. Maar ruimtesonde MAVEN schetst een heel ander beeld.
De hoeveelheid waterstof die Mars verliest, varieert van tijd tot tijd sterk. De hoeveelheid waterstof die weet te ontsnappen, piekt wanneer de planeet het dichtst bij de zon staat en bereikt een dieptepunt wanneer de planeet het verst van de zon verwijderd is. En wanneer de planeet het dichtst bij de zon staat, kan er tot wel tien keer meer water ontsnappen, dan wanneer de afstand tot de zon het kleinst is. Die conclusie trekken onderzoekers op basis van metingen van ruimtesonde MAVEN.
Langdurig Onderzoekers hebben al wel eerder gepoogd om een beeld te krijgen van de hoeveelheid waterstof die aan Mars ontsnapt, maar vaak waren dat maar momentopnamen. MAVEN heeft de atmosfeer van de rode planeet gedurende een heel Martiaans jaar (bijna twee aardse jaren) bestudeerd en kan dus een veel completer beeld geven.
Waterstofatomen Waterstof in het bovenste deel van de Martiaanse atmosfeer is afkomstig van waterdamp in de lagere delen van de atmosfeer. Een watermolecuul in de atmosfeer kan door zonlicht worden opgebroken, waardoor twee waterstofatomen vrijkomen. En die waterstofatomen kunnen door toedoen van verschillende processen in de atmosfeer aan die atmosfeer ontsnappen.
Seizoenen Uit de resultaten blijkt dat de afstand tot de zon een rol speelt bij het ontsnappen van waterstof. Hoe dichter Mars bij de zon staat, hoe intenser het zonlicht dat Mars bereikt. “Daarnaast is de atmosfeer wanneer Mars dichter bij de zon staat, turbulenter,” legt onderzoeker John Clarke uit. “Dit kan ervoor zorgen dat water in de lagere delen van de atmosfeer naar hogere delen van de atmosfeer reist, waardoor er daar periodiek meer waterstof te vinden is dat kan ontsnappen.” Maar waarschijnlijk zijn er nog meer factoren die belangrijk zijn. Zo is de hoeveelheid waterstof die in de atmosfeer aanwezig is (en dus kan ontsnappen) afhankelijk van de seizoenen. “We zien het ontsnappende waterstof niet meer als een trage, stabiele stroom, maar meer als een episodische stroom die afhankelijk is van de seizoenen en misschien zo af en toe krachtige uitbarstingen kent,” stelt onderzoeker Michael Chaffin.
Van nat naar droog Het onderzoek geeft niet alleen een beter beeld van de processen die vandaag de dag in de atmosfeer van Mars spelen. Het onderzoek helpt ons ook om een beter beeld te krijgen van de totale hoeveelheid water die Mars door de jaren heen is verloren en geeft dus meer inzicht in hoe Mars van een natte planeet veranderde in een droge planeet.
De missie van MAVEN is onlangs verlengd. De ruimtesonde blijft nog zeker tot september 2018 actief. Dat betekent dat deze de atmosfeer van de rode planeet nog een Martiaans jaar in de gaten kan houden.

De hoeveelheid waterstof die Mars verliest, varieert van tijd tot tijd sterk. De hoeveelheid waterstof die weet te ontsnappen, piekt wanneer de planeet het dichtst bij de zon staat en bereikt een dieptepunt wanneer de planeet het verst van de zon verwijderd is. En wanneer de planeet het dichtst bij de zon staat, kan er tot wel tien keer meer water ontsnappen, dan wanneer de afstand tot de zon het kleinst is. Die conclusie trekken onderzoekers op basis van metingen van ruimtesonde MAVEN.
Langdurig Onderzoekers hebben al wel eerder gepoogd om een beeld te krijgen van de hoeveelheid waterstof die aan Mars ontsnapt, maar vaak waren dat maar momentopnamen. MAVEN heeft de atmosfeer van de rode planeet gedurende een heel Martiaans jaar (bijna twee aardse jaren) bestudeerd en kan dus een veel completer beeld geven.
Waterstofatomen Waterstof in het bovenste deel van de Martiaanse atmosfeer is afkomstig van waterdamp in de lagere delen van de atmosfeer. Een watermolecuul in de atmosfeer kan door zonlicht worden opgebroken, waardoor twee waterstofatomen vrijkomen. En die waterstofatomen kunnen door toedoen van verschillende processen in de atmosfeer aan die atmosfeer ontsnappen.
Seizoenen Uit de resultaten blijkt dat de afstand tot de zon een rol speelt bij het ontsnappen van waterstof. Hoe dichter Mars bij de zon staat, hoe intenser het zonlicht dat Mars bereikt. “Daarnaast is de atmosfeer wanneer Mars dichter bij de zon staat, turbulenter,” legt onderzoeker John Clarke uit. “Dit kan ervoor zorgen dat water in de lagere delen van de atmosfeer naar hogere delen van de atmosfeer reist, waardoor er daar periodiek meer waterstof te vinden is dat kan ontsnappen.” Maar waarschijnlijk zijn er nog meer factoren die belangrijk zijn. Zo is de hoeveelheid waterstof die in de atmosfeer aanwezig is (en dus kan ontsnappen) afhankelijk van de seizoenen. “We zien het ontsnappende waterstof niet meer als een trage, stabiele stroom, maar meer als een episodische stroom die afhankelijk is van de seizoenen en misschien zo af en toe krachtige uitbarstingen kent,” stelt onderzoeker Michael Chaffin.
Van nat naar droog Het onderzoek geeft niet alleen een beter beeld van de processen die vandaag de dag in de atmosfeer van Mars spelen. Het onderzoek helpt ons ook om een beter beeld te krijgen van de totale hoeveelheid water die Mars door de jaren heen is verloren en geeft dus meer inzicht in hoe Mars van een natte planeet veranderde in een droge planeet.
De missie van MAVEN is onlangs verlengd. De ruimtesonde blijft nog zeker tot september 2018 actief. Dat betekent dat deze de atmosfeer van de rode planeet nog een Martiaans jaar in de gaten kan houden.
Kijk je naar Jupiter, dan zie je de verschillende bruine en witte wolkenbanden. Stel, je pelt de atmosfeer van Jupiter als een ui, dan blijf je de strepen nog lang zien.
Dankzij de Juno-ruimtesonde weten we nu dat de wolkenbanden niet alleen in de bovenste atmosfeer zichtbaar zijn, maar ver doorlopen in de atmosfeer van Jupiter. Juno heeft instrumenten aan boord die met behulp van microgolven diep in de atmosfeer van de grootste planeet van het zonnestelsel kunnen kijken.
“De structuur van zones en banden blijft herkenbaar wanneer je dieper in de atmosfeer van Jupiter duikt”, zegt hoofdonderzoeker Scott Bolton. Dit betekent dat de kleuren van de wolkenbanden op een andere plek ontstaan. “Dit is absoluut een verrassing voor veel wetenschappers.”
De foto hierboven laat zien hoe Jupiter er op een diepte van 350 tot 400 kilometer uitziet. Er zijn nog steeds wolkenbanden te zien, al verschillen ze hier en daar van de wolkenbanden in de buitenste schil.
“Het is voor het eerst dat we dieper in de atmosfeer van een gasplaneet duiken”, zegt Bolton. “We zien nu eindelijk de dynamische processen in de atmosfeer van Jupiter. Dit is pas het begin.”
Overigens gaat het niet goed met Juno. Het ruimtevaartuig schakelde eergisteren over naar de veiligheidsmodus, waardoor er tijdens de scheervlucht gisteren geen nieuwe close-upbeelden zijn gemaakt van de gasreus. De intense straling rond Jupiter vormt een uitdaging, maar wetenschappers beweren dat dit niet de boosdoener is van de problemen. Inmiddels is de veiligheidsmodus uitgeschakeld, maar de instrumenten staan nog niet aan.
Schiaparelli uit elkaar gespat op het oppervlak van Mars
Schiaparelli uit elkaar gespat op het oppervlak van Mars
Tim Kraaijvanger
De Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie bevestigt dat Marslander Schiaparelli is neergestort op Mars. De lander viel op een hoogte van twee tot vier kilometer naar beneden, waardoor Schiaparelli met een snelheid van meer dan 300 kilometer per uur op de rode planeet klapte.
Het nieuws komt niet als een grote verrassing. Woensdag slaagde de ESA er niet in om contact te krijgen met de lander. De Mars Express en NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter luisterden aandachtig, maarpikten het signaal van de lander niet op. ESA-wetenschappers gaven de moed niet op en kondigden gisteren aan te blijven luisteren. Nu blijkt dat dit niet langer hoeft, want van Schiaparelli is niet veel meer over.
De foto in het midden laat de situatie voor de tijd zien. Op de foto rechts zie je de gecrashte lander.
Grote donkere vlek De Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter heeft Schiaparelli gespot op Mars. Het ruimtevaartuig maakte foto’s van Meridiani Planum: de landingsplaats van de lander. De korrelige foto is naast een kiekje gelegd dat eerder dit jaar is geschoten. Er is veel veranderd. Zo is er een helder vlekje zichtbaar met daarboven een grotere zwarte veeg.
Het lichte vlekje is de twaalf meter brede parachute. Deze ligt redelijk ongeschonden op de buurplaneet van de aarde. Dit geldt niet voor Schiaparelli. Een kilometer ten noorden van de parachute is een donkere veeg te zien met een oppervlak van vijftien bij veertig meter. Een enorm oppervlak. Zo groot is de lander niet. Wetenschappers denken daarom dat Schiaparelli is geëxplodeerd op Mars.
Betere foto’s Komende week wordt de HiRISE-camera van de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter op de landingsplaats gericht. Waar de bovenstaande foto een resolutie van zes meter per pixel heeft, maakt HiRISE foto’s met een resolutie van 0,3 meter per pixel. Grote kans dat we dan veel meer te zien krijgen.
Zo had de landing van Schiaparelli er eigenlijk uit moeten zien. De lander dringt met een snelheid van 23000 km/h de atmosfeer binnen, op elf kilometer afstand van het oppervlak klappen de parachutes uit. Deze remmen de lander af. Stuwraketten helpen Schiaparelli vervolgens om controle te krijgen over de snelheid. Zodra de afstand tussen de lander en het oppervlak ongeveer twee meter is, worden de stuwraketten uitgeschakeld en ploft de lander op het oppervlak. Afbeelding: ESA / ATG Medialab.
Stuwraketten hebben gefaald Wat is er precies misgegaan? Dat is op dit moment nog onduidelijk. Sowieso ging het tot de laatste vijftig seconden voor de landing nog goed. Na het loslaten van de parachutes veranderde dit. De negen stuwraketten moesten het werk overnemen en Schiaparelli veilig op het oppervlak zetten. Waarschijnlijk hebben deze stuwraketten geen controle gekregen over de snelheid en zijn ze eerder dan verwacht uitgeschakeld. Eigenlijk zouden de stuwraketten pas twee meter boven het oppervlak moeten stoppen.
ExoMars-rover Het is belangrijk dat we de oorzaak weten waarom Schiaparelli is neergestort. De landingsmodule was namelijk een proefkonijn om te testen of het landingsmechanisme werkt. Na 2020 gaat de ExoMars-rover naar de rode planeet. Dit beestje zal op dezelfde manier landen als Schiaparelli. Kortom, dat is op dit moment geen goed nieuws. Schiaparelli zou slechts enkele dagen actief blijven, maar de ExoMars-rover is een dure en ambitieuze missie. Daarbij mag niets misgaan. Gelukkig hebben wetenschappers nog een paar jaar de tijd om het landingsmechanisme te verbeteren. Na de mislukte landingen van Beagle 2 en Schiaparelli kunnen we over een paar jaar hopelijk zeggen: driemaal is scheepsrecht.
Leven op Mars behoort tot de mogelijkheden (en is misschien zelfs al gespot)
Leven op Mars behoort tot de mogelijkheden (en is misschien zelfs al gespot)

We hebben de metingen van de Viking-landers die suggereerden dat er leven was op Mars wellicht te snel van tafel geveegd. Dat stellen onderzoekers.
Marsrover Curiosity heeft sterke aanwijzingen gevonden dat Mars – een planeet die nu koud en droog is – ooit warm en vochtig was. Het wijst erop dat de planeet miljarden jaren geleden geschikt was voor het ontstaan en in standhouden van leven. Maar is het mogelijk dat de planeet ook vandaag de dag nog levende wezens herbergt? Absoluut, zo schrijven onderzoekers in het blad Astrobiology. In het paper – dat tot 15 november gratis online in te zien is – halen de onderzoekers experimenten van oude en recente Marsmissies aan.
Viking 1 (de lander zit bovenop).
Afbeelding: NASA.
LR-experimenten Zo komen met name de Viking Labeled Release (LR)-experimenten aan bod. Marslanders Viking 1 en Viking 2 voerden dit experiment op verschillende plekken op Mars uit. Het doel? Nagaan of er microben verstopt zaten in de Marsgrond. De landers voorzagen de Marsgrond van voedingsstoffen en wachtten vervolgens rustig af of er stoffen vrijkwamen – radioactieve koolstofdioxide of methaangas – die erop wezen dat microben de voedingsstoffen tot zich hadden genomen. En jawel, de experimenten wezen erop dat microben in de Marsgrond aan het werk waren. “Hoewel de onderzoekers uiteindelijk concludeerden dat de experimenten Martiaans leven gedetecteerd hadden, was en blijft dit een zeer controversiële conclusie,” zo schrijven de onderzoekers. “Velen geloven dat het Martiaanse milieu schadelijk is voor leven en de LR-metingen niet-biologisch waren en toegeschreven moeten worden aan een nog niet geïdentificeerde oxidant (of oxidanten) in de Marsgrond.”
“HET IS TIJD OM EEN BIOLOGISCHE VERKLARING VOOR DE LR-RESULTATEN TE HEROVERWEGEN”
Niet-biologische verklaring? Maar we moeten de LR-metingen niet te snel van tafel vegen, zo vinden de onderzoekers. “In de jaren na Viking zijn er veel pogingen gedaan om de LR-resultaten niet-biologisch te verklaren, maar tot op heden is er geen enkele niet-biologische verklaring die aan alle eisen voldoet (…) De algemene consensus ten tijde van Viking was dat de positieve LR-metingen een niet-biologische oorzaak hadden. Maar informatie van latere missies naar Mars trekt hetgeen waarop die consensus gebaseerd is in twijfel en het is tijd om een biologische verklaring voor de LR-resultaten te heroverwegen.”
Marsrover Curiosity.

Water Zo werd er ten tijde van de Viking-resultaten vaak gezegd dat de aanwezigheid van microben in de Marsgrond onmogelijk was, omdat de planeet geen vloeibaar water bezit. “Maar resultaten van recente missies voorzien ons van sterk bewijs dat vloeibaar water, weliswaar in kleine hoeveelheden, beschikbaar is.” De onderzoekers wijzen er bovendien op dat op aarde verschillende ‘extremofielen’ leven: bacteriën die onder zeer extreme omstandigheden weten te overleven. En als dat hier kan, waarom dan niet op Mars? “Als er ooit leven op Mars aanwezig is geweest, kan het zich hebben aangepast en geëvolueerd zijn terwijl Mars transformeerde en veranderde in een koude planeet waarop weinig water beschikbaar was.” De onderzoekers concluderen dan ook dat levensvormen op Mars wellicht gebruikmaken van cryptobiose: een overlevingsstrategie die organismen onder extreme omstandigheden (zoals kou en een gebrek aan water) inzetten. Hun stofwisseling komt dan op een laag pitje te staan en als de extreme omstandigheden minder worden, voeren ze de stofwisseling weer op. De Martiaanse bacteriën zouden dat laatste bijvoorbeeld doen wanneer er water voorhanden is. “Al met al sluiten de studies naar water op Mars leven niet uit, ongeacht of LR het nu gedetecteerd heeft of niet. Hoewel de beschikbaarheid van water op de landingsplekken van de Viking-landers op het moment dat de LR-experimenten werden uitgevoerd onbekend was, lijkt de aanwezigheid van water op Mars over het algemeen een biologische interpretatie van de LR-experimenten te onderschrijven.”
Organische moleculen Een andere reden om de aanwezigheid van microben op Mars in twijfel te trekken, was de afwezigheid van organische moleculen: de bouwstenen voor leven zoals dat op aarde voorkomt. Inmiddels weten we dankzij Curiosity echter dat deze moleculen wel degelijk op Mars te vinden zijn.
Methaan En ook het periodiek vrijkomen van flinke hoeveelheden methaan lijkt voor de aanwezigheid van leven te pleiten, zo stellen de onderzoekers. Het methaan zou door microben geproduceerd worden, zich ondergronds verzamelen en periodiek vrijkomen door toedoen van geologische activiteit.
Verstandig De onderzoekers willen zeker niet beweren dat de Viking-landers leven hebben gedetecteerd, maar we hebben de mogelijkheid dat er nog leven is op Mars na de LR-experimenten wel te snel van tafel geveegd. Afgaande op de meest recente ontdekkingen op Mars lijkt het “verstandig als de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap biologie als een geldige verklaring voor de resultaten van de LR-experimenten ziet”.
Rekening houden met de mogelijkheid dat er nog steeds leven is op of net onder het oppervlak van Mars heeft verstrekkende gevolgen voor toekomstige Marsmissies. Denk dan ruimtemissies die erop gericht zijn om Marsgrond naar de aarde te brengen. Die Marsgrond zou dan immers zomaar buitenaardse levensvormen kunnen bevatten. Ook zouden we tijdens bezoekjes aan Mars nog meer moeite moeten doen om te voorkomen dat aardse microben de rode planeet koloniseren. Dat kan op twee manieren: gebieden die leefbaar lijken, mijden en ruimteschepen goed desinfecteren voor ze vertrekken. “We moeten opmerken dat Mars wellicht al geïnfecteerd is door de vele ruimtevaartuigen die er geland zijn.” De onderzoekers wijzen er vervolgens op dat Viking op unieke wijze gesteriliseerd werd: NASA bakte de sondes 40 uur lang op 110 graden Celsius. Geen enkele ruimtesonde na Viking is op soortgelijke wijze gesteriliseerd. “De LR-experimenten van de Vikinglanders kunnen wel eens de enige zuivere leven detecterende experimenten zijn die we ooit hebben gehad.” Grote vraag blijft: hoe moeten we ze interpreteren? De onderzoekers pleiten voor vervolgonderzoek dat eigenlijk alleen doorgang kan vinden als we op het oppervlak van Mars actief op zoek gaan naar (sporen van) leven.
Spoiler Alert: Hundreds of Stars Have “Strange, Alien Signals”
Spoiler Alert: Hundreds of Stars Have “Strange, Alien Signals”
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey telescope stands out against the breaktaking backdrop of the Sacramento Mountains. 234 stars out of the Sloan's catalogue of over 2.5 million stars are producing an unexplained pulsed signal.
Image: SDSS, Fermilab Visual Media Services
IN BRIEF
When analyzing a spectra of 2.5 million stars, researchers came across 234 that produced the same strange signal — pulses of light at constant time intervals.
The conclusion? Either these are effects of the Sloan instrument itself and data reduction, or they are ETI signals.
A portion of the 234 stars that are sources of the pulsed ETI-like signal. Note that all the stars are in the narrow spectral range F2 to K1, very similar to our own Sun.

STRANGER THINGS IN SPACE
Too often, when we encounter a seemingly unexplainable occurrence in space, we automatically think Aha! Aliens! It’s not exactly best practice to jump into declaring extraterrestrial life with a snap of a finger. But neither should we be too skeptical. A bit of both, certainly.
That’s why, when Laval University astronomers E.F. Borra and E. Trottier submitted a study about stars producing what appears to be ETI signals, we shouldn’t ignore it, nor swallow it entirely. In any case, the strange phenomena comes from their study of data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Analyzing the spectra of 2.5 million stars, they came across 234 that produced the same strange signal — pulses of light at constant time intervals.
The stars were all “overwhelmingly in the F2 to K1 spectral range,” the authors claimed, very similar to our own Sun. Is it possible that, like our Sun, these stars host a system with intelligent life, and are sending signals to contact other intelligent species?
WITH GREAT CLAIMS COME GREATER BURDEN OF PROOF
To Borra, it seems very likely, especially since the findings match a 2012 study he’d writtenabout ETI signals. The authors easily dismissed three of the five possible explanations to the phenomena and settled on two: either these are effects of the Sloan instrument itself and data reduction, or they are ETI signals.
But are they really? It remains difficult to say, especially since the authors acknowledged that “the signals are due to highly peculiar chemical compositions in a small fraction of galactic halo stars.” And it is very possible to have a subset of stars that behave this way.
This graph shows the number of detected signals by Spectral Type of star.

Not to mention the paper’s still up for peer review.
As the saying goes, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence,” which theBreakthrough Listen Initiative team quotes in a response to Borra’s findings. The Breakthrough team isn’t too eager about the whole study, giving it a 0 to 1 score on the Rio Scale. That says a lot coming from a group dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial intelligent life.
In this case, we’ll have to stick to the likeliest possibility: the 234 blinking stars are what they are — blinking stars.
Journey to Mars: Beginning of Intergalactic Travel?
The most recent discussion of a 660 million mile Mars mission has centered around Elon Musk and SpaceX’s plans to fly an unmanned mission to the red planet as early as 2018. But NASA is in the thick of helping SpaceX’s Red Dragon reach Mars. The hope is that NASA’s mission to put boots on Mars itself sometime in the 2030s will be helped significantly by what SpaceX learns from its Mars Mission.
The U.S. Congress recently authorized spending for the “Journey to Mars” project although continuing budget problems could delay the project. In the meantime, NASA continues its rover missions with a new Mars rover mission scheduled to land on the planet in 2020.
Journey to Mars

The NASA “Journey to Mars” is expected to include the construction and deployment of a space station, like the ISS, in Mars orbit. The Mars Space Station will serve as a base camp for subsequent missions. Additionally, a number of companies are working on full-size deep space habitats with the bells and whistles needed to take care of astronauts on missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond.
NASA reportedly will not go it alone on missions to Mars. Just as it has done with the International Space Station (ISS), scores of countries will play a role including the European Union, Russia, Japan, China, India, and others.
NASA had planned to launch the InSight Lander for Mars in 2016 but suspended the program due to its inability to repair a leak in the science payload. According to NASA:
“Learning about the interior structure of Mars has been a high priority objective for planetary scientists since the Viking era,” said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. “We push the boundaries of space technology with our missions to enable science, but space exploration is unforgiving, and the bottom line is that we’re not ready to launch in the 2016 window. A decision on a path forward will be made in the coming months, but one thing is clear: NASA remains fully committed to the scientific discovery and exploration of Mars.”
The following video explains NASA’s plans for its Journey to Mars.

David enjoys research and writing about cutting edge technologies that hold the promise of improving conditions for all life on planet earth.
In many parts of the world, the lack of an adequate supply of clean water is a serious problem. As per UNICEF estimates, worldwide, about 2,000 children under the age of five die every day from diarrhoeal diseases and of these some 1,800 deaths are linked to water, sanitation, and hygiene.
In a big breakthrough, VICI-Labs in collaboration with UC Berkeley and the National Peace Corps Association have developed a device with a goal to provide a sustainable source of clean, safe water.
This device is known as “Water Seer.” It relies on simple condensation processes to collect clean water from the atmosphere. It works without using any power source, without generating any sort of pollution or environmental impact, without the need for costly chemicals or maintenance.
Image courtesy Water Seer
How the Water Seer Works:
The Water Seer device has a vertical wind turbine on its top, and it functions by utilizing wind power. It is planted six or more feet into the ground, and then the soil is packed around its metal neck. When the wind spins its internal fan blades, it draws air into the subterranean chamber. Since it is cooler underground, the air condenses into water in the reservoir to create a sort of an artificial well.
This clean drinking water can be delivered to the surface by using a simple pump and hose.
It works well even in areas with a very harsh climate. It can yield up to 37 liters of pure water a day, and the best part is it is priced at just $134.

Denver International Airport conspiracy exhibit features OpenMinds.tv
Denver International Airport conspiracy exhibit features OpenMinds.tv
Conspiracy theories abound when it comes to Denver International Airport, a fact that the airport has embraced in recent years. So much so that they have recently installed a temporary exhibit that covers some of these theories and their prosaic explanations. It even features a story found right here onOpenMinds.tv.
The exhibit can be seen here in the middle of the room on level 5 west of the Jeppesen Terminal near the north security checkpoint.
(Credit: FlyDenver.com)
The exhibit is titled “Conspiracy Theories Uncovered.” If you are visiting the airport anytime soon, you can see the exhibit on the west end of level 5 of the main terminal.
The airport’s website describes the exhibit:
The exhibit features video, artwork, props and more, explaining some of the most pervasive airport conspiracy theories and the ‘real’ explanations behind them. Visitors will enjoy a compilation of all things mysterious, sinister and strange having to do with DEN. This free exhibit is open 24-hours a day.
They also include several picture of it on the website. In the first picture, a screenshot of a story on OpenMinds.tv is featured.
The display including the OpenMinds.tv story.

The OpenMinds.tv story featured in the exhibit was about a large event held to celebrate the midway point of the construction of a large build-out that included a new public plaza and commuter trains from downtown Denver. The event was held in October, 2013, and the theme was alien conspiracies. They tweeted about a secret alien bunker and strange findings to generate mystery around the event.

They even showed a video at the event of former mayors discussing aliens secrets. After we posted the story, airport PR personnel contacted us to make us aware of a video they posted on YouTube about the event. The video can be seen below.
Among the pictures of the exhibit are pictures of the strange findings they tweeted about in 2013.
The strange findings tweeted in 2013 can be seen in the background of this mysterious skull. Scary.

Soldier considers UFO may have been military drone
A Georgia military witness recalls an event from 2005 where a chrome sphere UFO “the size of a basketball” followed his platoon training exercise for two days, according to testimony in Case 79847 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness heard about the UFO from fellow soldiers who were out on a training exercise the previous day. Pictured: Fort Benning, GA.

The witness was serving in the infantry at Fort Benning, GA, when the incident occurred on July 10, 2005.
“The first day half of our platoon went out and then the second day the rest of the platoon would be taken out for the training,” the witness stated.“At the end of the first day, the first half came back going on and on about a UFO. I wasn’t there so I thought they were mistaken or outright making up stories.”
Then on the second day, the second half of the platoon went out to the training grounds.
“Two or three people from the first day also came out with us. Within a half-hour we started hearing a loud buzzing sound. The men who were there the first day start yelling, ‘It’s coming. It’s coming. That’s the noise we heard it make the whole time.”
The witness heard the sound of the object just before seeing it. Pictured: Fort Benning, GA.
(Credit: Google)
The witness looked up to see the object that had been described the day before.
“Sure enough about 50 feet over the tree tops comes this chrome metallic sphere. The buzzing was loud. Like it had a motor going inside it. Though the sphere looked complete. I couldn’t see any openings or ports. It would follow us hovering, and then changed direction and heading. Though it always kept us in line of sight. Sometimes it would go so far out and up that we couldn’t hear the buzzing and could barely see the glint of the chrome in the sun. At least a quarter mile out.”
The witness thinks the object may have been early drone technology.
“I always thought it was a drone. This was 2005 so drone designs were coming out every day. I thought for sure someday I would get an explanation. I always was sure it was our own military using my platoon as training for this object. The funny part is the closest thing to someone else seeing something like that and matching my story was a UFO encounter. But I’m still sure you’re going to read this and go, ‘Yeah, yeah. It’s some never-made-it U.S. drone design.’ If that is the case, sorry for wasting your time. If it wasn’t for my buddy hearing my story and making me fill out reports, I never would have said anything. I mean it was like 11 years ago.”
The witness believes the object may have been some type of military drone that was being tested. Pictured: Fort Benning, GA.

Toch iets buitenaards? Onverklaarbaar object vastgelegd boven Pijnacker
Toch iets buitenaards? Onverklaarbaar object vastgelegd boven Pijnacker
Donderdag is rond 18.30 uur een onverklaarbaar object vastgelegd in de lucht boven Pijnacker. Dat meldt Telstar Online.
De UFO, die door een verslaggever van de krant is gefilmd, was bolvormig van kleur, gaf een witte schittering af en vloog op grote hoogte voorbij.
Bij UFO Meldpunt Nederland zouden donderdagavond veel meer meldingen zijn gedaan over een soortgelijk vliegend object.
Intelligentie
“Een vliegtuig was het zeker niet, misschien een weerballon of toch iets buitenaards,” zei Martijn Mastenbroek, die iedere week een radioprogramma presenteert waarin het gaat over onder andere graancirkels en UFO’s.
“Er wordt altijd lacherig gedaan als het over dit soort zaken gaat,” zegt Mastenbroek. “Maar wat is waarschijnlijker? Een man die drie dagen in de buik van een walvis zit, iets wat miljoenen mensen geloven, of een soort van intelligentie in een stelsel dat is ontstaan onder dezelfde omstandigheden als op aarde?”
