Alien Life May Munch on Galactic Cosmic Rays
Alien Life May Munch on Galactic Cosmic Rays
By Charles Q. Choi, Live Science Contributor
Cosmic rays may feed alien life found on Earth and potentially on other planets, researchers suggest.

Extreme microbes that live in hostile places on Earth may feed off of cosmic rays that zip through space, according to a study of a bizarre bacterium thriving deep in a dark gold mine.
If life exists on other planets such as Mars, it too could be gobbling upcosmic rays in order to survive, the new study suggests.
"When you have radiation penetrating deep below the surface, where there might be water on Mars or [Jupiter's moon] Europa, then it could start chemical reactions that life could use," said study author Dimitra Atri, a research scientist at the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science in Seattle. Organisms that live off of galactic cosmic rays could even dwell on rogue planets that are not bound to any star and instead drift throughout interstellar space, Atri added. [Extreme Life on Earth: 8 Bizarre Creatures]
Where there's no light
Life on Earth relies largely on energy from the sun. Light drivesphotosynthesis, which, in turn, supplies the nutrients that most organisms use, either directly or indirectly, in order to survive. Still, if light is not available, life can find other sources of energy, such as heat, or chemical energy, previous research has found.

Prior work has even found that life-forms can live off the ionizing radiation — which has enough energy to ionize or charge atoms — from radioactive materials. For instance, the bacteriumCandidatus Desulforudis audaxviator, found about 1.75 miles (2.8 kilometers) deep in a South African gold mine, lives off the energy from radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium and potassium in the rocks there. Specifically, ionizing radiation from these isotopes breaks down water in the area into hydrogen gas, which the bacterium can use as fuel, and helps to generate other biologically useful molecules.
"Most research on ionizing radiation concerns its potentially harmful effects, such as damage to DNA," Atri told Live Science. "But a bacterium that is cut off completely from sunlight and the rest of the biosphere can survive completely off of ionizing radiation."
Atri investigates galactic cosmic rays, which are high-energy particles, mostly protons, that careen across space from beyond the solar system. After he read about radiation-loving Ca. D. audaxviator, he began to wonder if other microbes could live off of energy from galactic cosmic rays as well.
Cosmic rays and extreme life
Galactic cosmic rays possess much higher energy than other sources of radiation on Earth. When they hit the atmosphere or surface of a planet, they generate a cascade of particles — such as electrons, positrons and neutrons — as well as dangerous gamma-rays. "Galactic cosmic rays are everywhere, and they have so much energy, they can penetrate even below the surfaces of planets," Atri said.
Using computer simulations, Atri found that galactic cosmic rays, though rare, could provide a steady flow of energy for life underground; this energy was comparable to that emitted by radioactive substances on Earth.
The energy flow could extend to potential life on other planets as well, he said.
Atri suggested that one way to see if this concept might actually help sustain life would be to conduct a lab experiment that exposed the bacterium Ca. D. audaxviator to the kind of particles that galactic cosmic rays generate when they hit the atmospheres or surfaces of planets.
Atri detailed his findings online Oct. 5 in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.
Much of the universe is made of of matter that we can't see.

Most of the universe is made up of "stuff" that is invisible, possibly intangible and interacts with other things only via the force of gravity. Oh, yes, and physicists don't know what the stuff is or why it makes up so much of the universe — some four-fifths of its mass.
So where is this mysterious stuff that makes up such a huge chunk of our universe, and when will scientists find it?
First, though, how do we know it's even out there?
Dark matter was first hypothesized in the 1930s when Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky realized that his measurements of the masses of galaxy clusters showed some of the mass in the universe was "missing." Whatever was making galaxies heavier, it didn't give off any light, nor did it interact with anything else except via gravity.
Vera Rubin, in the 1970s, found that the rotation of galaxies was not following the predictions of Newton's laws of motion; the stars in galaxies (notably Andromeda) all seemed to be orbiting the center at the same speed, rather than those farther out moving more slowly as theories of gravity said they should. Clearly, something was adding mass to the outer parts of galaxies, something nobody could see. [Does the Universe Have an Edge?]
Other pieces of evidence came from gravitational lensing, which happens when the gravity of a large object bends the light waves around that object. Per Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity bends space (like a sumo wrestler might deform the mat he is standing on), so light rays bend around massive objects even though light itself is massless. Observations indicated that there wasn't enough visible mass to bend the light by as much as it was bending around certain galaxy clusters — in other words, the galaxies were more massive than they should be.
Then there is the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the "echo" of the Big Bang, and supernovas. "What the CMB tells you is that the universe is spatially flat," said Jason Kumar, a professor of physics at the University of Hawaii. "Spatially flat" means that if you were to draw two lines across the universe, they would never meet, even if those lines were a billion light-years across. In a steeply curved universe, those lines would meet at some point in space.
Researchers then calculated how much matter the universe must have in order to be flat and produce the amount of normal matter (also calledbaryons) observed in the universe.
"I ask myself, 'Is the amount of matter I have equal to baryonic matter, and it's not," Kumar said.
There's now little dispute among cosmologists and astronomers that dark matter exists. Yet it seems unaffected by light, and it isn't charged like electrons or protons are. So far it has eluded direct detection.
"That's kind of the mystery," Kumar said. There are may ways scientists have tried to "see" dark matter – either via its interactions with normal matter or looking for particles that dark matter might become. "Those experiments are going to keep getting better, and don't seem to have any hiccups so far as they go to better detectors."
What we know it isn't
A number of theories have come and gone as to what dark matter is. One of the first was logical enough: The matter was hidden within massive astrophysical compact halo objects, or MACHOs, such as neutron stars, black holes, brown dwarfs and rogue planets. They don't emit light (or they emit only very little), so they are effectively invisible to telescopes. [The 9 Biggest Unsolved Mysteries in Physics]
Yet surveys of galaxies looking for small distortions in the light of background stars produced by a MACHO passing by — called microlensing events — couldn't account for the amount of dark matter around galaxies, or even a significant portion of it. "MACHOs seem as ruled out as ever," said Dan Hooper, an associate scientist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois.
Dark matter doesn't appear to be clouds of gas that telescopes wouldn't see, either. Diffuse gas would absorb light from the galaxies that are farther away, and on top of that, ordinary gas would re-emit radiation at longer wavelengths – there'd be a massive radiation of infrared light in the sky. Since that doesn't occur we can rule that out as well, Kumar said.
What it might be
Weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, are some of the strongest contenders to explain dark matter. WIMPs are heavy particles — about 10 to 100 times heavier than a proton — that were produced during the Big Bang, though just small quantities are left today. These particles interact with normal matter via gravity or the weak nuclear force. More massive WIMPs would move more slowly through space, and therefore be "cold" dark-matter candidates, while lighter ones would move faster, and be "warm" dark matter. [Wacky Physics: The Coolest Little Particles in Nature]
One way to find them is in "direct detection" experiments, such as the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment, which is a container of liquid xenon in a South Dakota mine. If a xenon nucleus seems to "bounce" with no explanation, that would be a candidate for getting hit with a dark-matter particle. The magnitude of the bounce would give an idea of the new particle's mass. But Hooper said that LUX hasn't seen anything yet.
Another way to see the WIMPs might be particle accelerators. Inside accelerators, atomic nuclei smash into each at near the speed of light, and in the process that energy of the collision gets turned into other particles, some new to science. So far, though, particle accelerators haven't detected anything that looks like a dark matter candidate, either.
Results from both direct detection and particle accelerators, however, have placed limits on the size and mass of this hypothetical dark-matter particle, Kumar said. The sensitivity of LUX is down to 200 MeV, or about a fifth of a proton's mass, and it could theoretically see particles as heavy as 1 TeV, which is comparable to some types of quarks. Since LUX saw nothing so far, that could well mean that dark matter isn't in that range.
Kumar said that it's possible that WIMPs are really heavy, and because they are so massive there just aren't that many of them, meaning the chance they'll hit a xenon atom is small.
Another possibility: axions. These subatomic particles could be detected indirectly by the kinds of radiation they emit as they annihilate or as they decay into other kinds of particles, or appear in particle accelerators. Yet there hasn't been any direct evidence of axions, either.
Since detecting heavy, slow-moving "cold" particles, like WIMPs or axions, hasn't yielded results yet, some scientists are looking at the possibility of lighter, faster-moving particles, which they call "warm" dark matter. There has been a renewed interest in such a dark-matter model after scientists found evidence of an unknown particle, using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, in the Perseus cluster, a group of galaxies about 250 million light-years from Earth. The known ions in that cluster produce certain X-ray emission lines, and in 2014, scientists saw a new "line" that may correspond to an unknown lightweight particle, Nicola Menci, an astrophysicist at Italy's National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), told Live Science in an email.
If dark-matter particles are light, scientists are going to have a difficult time detecting them directly, said Tracy Slatyer, a physicist at MIT. Slatyer has proposed new kinds of particles that might make up dark matter.
"Dark matter with [a] mass below about 1 GeV is really hard to detect with conventional direct detection experiments, because they work by looking for the unexplained recoils of atomic nuclei… but when the dark matter is much lighter than the atomic nucleus, the recoil energy is very small," Slatyer said. Protons — a hydrogen nucleus — can't be any lighter than about 938 MeV, so a particle that weighs in the keV range would be 1,000 times lighter. "Think bouncing a ping-pong ball off a bowling ball; the bowling ball doesn't move very much," she said.
Slatyer said there is a lot of research being done on how to find dark-matter particles if current methods fail. Using "superfluid" liquid helium, semiconductors and even breaking of chemical bonds in crystals, are among the ideas being floated.
Kumar said one reason dark matter is so mysterious is precisely that physicists feel that they understand, to a point, how the Big Bang nucleosynthesis ― the origins of matter ― worked. The Standard Model, which predicted the Higgs boson, has been very successful so far, so unless they've all been really wrong about something fundamental it's odd that nobody has managed to detect a dark-matter particle yet.
If, for example, dark-matter particles are very different from what many current models predict, it's possible that particle accelerators wouldn't have seen it. Accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider are better at seeing things that interact with the strong nuclear force, which decay into other particles.
"If that's the way your dark matter works it's a great machine to find it," he said. "But if there isn't a heavier particle like that it's harder."
Russia’s secret UFO files: Soviet Union waged Cold War conflict with aliens
Russia’s secret UFO files: Soviet Union waged Cold War conflict with aliens
It is believed that the Soviet Union was engaged in a conflict with aliens. Russian contact with aliens happened during 1940s and 1950s.
During the 1940s and 1950s UFO-mania gripped the US as reports of flying saucers, men in black and alien abductions filled newspaper pages.
Around the same time the Soviets also began to have increasing contact with apparent aliens and growing reports of spacecraft entering airspace over Russia.
Soviet-born UFO researcher and author Paul Stonehill told Daily Star Online: “The Soviets were shocked so many UFOs could penetrate their borders and basically just do what they wanted without any control from the Kremlin.
“There were many more cases of direct encounters than in the United States, and anything which was flying over the Soviet Union was very interested in secret military installations.”
Throughout the Cold War and the space race Soviet forces frequently clashed with UFOs.
Mr Stonehill said: “The Kremlin was paranoid but they could not do anything about it.
“They tried on several occasions where orders were given out from on high to shoot down UFOs, or local commanders would take it upon themselves.
“However, it always ended badly for them.”
The researcher, whose articles have been published in 11 languages, unearthed a culture of total secrecy over the phenomena in the Soviet Union.
Kremlin bigwigs would pass off any public reports of the phenomena as a “hoax perpetrated by the Western powers”.
A secret research programme called SETKA was established in 1977 after the Petrozavodsk incident in which 48 UFOs appeared in the atmosphere across the Soviet Union.
The incident came to a head in the industrial city of Petrozavodsk when a huge glowing object appeared overhead – seemingly beaming shafts of light towards the Earth.
The aim of the programme was to work out what the UFOs were – with Soviet higher-ups acknowledging the craft could not be of Earth-bound origin.
Stonehill said much of the archives of the programme remain under lock and key, but he added it was passed down between the communist state’s top military minds and scientists.
Forms were also then handed to any soviet soldier, sailor or airmen who reported a UFO encounter for them to file fully detailed reports.
He said: “It was prolific enough to really make you wonder just how much the Soviets knew”.
A bloody encounter between an alien craft and Soviet forces occurred in 1953 shortly after the death of Joseph Stalin.
The large UFO, initially thought by witnesses to be a “blimp of dirigible”, appeared above the Taiga in Siberia.
Soviet military chiefs dispatched a military special detachment to the area.
When they attempted to engage the craft with aircraft the three Soviet planes just “burned away”, says Mr Stonehill.
A secret order was issued to Soviet forces during the mid-1960s giving Russian commanders strict instructions to “not shoot at UFOs, leave them alone”.
Mr Stonehill said: “The aliens would fight back and destroy whatever unit would shoot at them.
“They would disintegrate planes, and in some cases the UFOs also acted first.”
He added: “No government wants to be powerless in the face of a threat, and it got to the case of the Soviets being very scared.”
But despite these violent clashes, he says most Soviet encounters were characterised by alien craft simply “observing” activity.
He said: “It was as if they were under a microscope. There were reports of UFOs present at most, if not all, of the Soviet space launches.
“The craft seemed to know about the space ports and the secret facilities.”
However, he added the motivations of whoever is piloting the UFOs remains a mystery.
Mr Stonehill has spoken to former military intelligence personnel, government officials and Soviet scientists to reveal the depths of the Soviet UFO encounters.
He has had numerous books published on the subject such as Mysterious Sky: Soviet UFO Phenomenon, Soviet UFO Files and UFO Case Files of Russia.
His most recent publication deals with the related “USO encounters” in Soviet seas as the Russian navy encountered unexplained objects beneath the seas.
RUIMTEVAART Marslander Schiaparelli is waarschijnlijk gevonden. Gisteravond publiceerde ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA beelden die de Amerikaanse Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter heeft gemaakt. Op de weinig gedetailleerde zwartwitopnamen is een zwarte stip te zien en een kleinere wittevlek met nog enkele verstoringen.
Uit de beelden zou blijken dat de Europese Marslander Schiaparelli woensdag op de Rode Planeet is neergestort en mogelijk ontploft, zo maakt het Europese Ruimtevaartbureau ESA bekend.
De zwarte stip op de foto is waarschijnlijk de gecrashte marslander Schiaparelli en de kleinere witte vlek de parachute waaraan hij naar beneden is gekomen. Hoewel de beelden weinig details bevatten, weet ESA zo goed als zeker dat het de marslander betreft, omdat de opnamen zijn gemaakt in het landingsgebied van de sonde, en doordat de stip in het marslandschap er eerder niet was.
"Jammer, maar we moeten vaststellen dat de sonde niet succesrijk is geland", zei directeur-generaal Jan Wörner aan het Duitse persbureau DPA.
In het kader van de eerste Europees-Russische Marsmissie ExoMars moest de Schiaparelli (of EDM in het ESA-ees) woensdag landen op het oppervlak van onze buurplaneet, met name in het gebied Meridiani Planum. Maar kort voor het neerstrijken viel het contact met de sonde uit.
Op een persbriefing zei ESA donderdagochtend niet te weten wat er met de lander was gebeurd. Maar zoals de gezaghebbende website russianspaceweb.com gisteren al had gemeld, heeft de MRO foto's genomen van het landingsgebied en daar iets gevonden dat er bij een eerdere opname, in mei, niet lag.
De vrije val zou op 4 tot 2 kilometer hoogte zijn begonnen, waardoor de robot met meer dan 300 kilometer per uur op het Marsoppervlak is neergekomen. Mogelijk is het tuig dan ontploft omdat de tanks van de remraketten wellicht nog vol staken.
ESA beklemtoont dat er meer analyse nodig is en heeft er vertrouwen in dat de teams "met grote accuraatheid" de keten van gebeurtenissen zullen kunnen reconstrueren.
Volgende week zal de HiRISE-camera op de MRO met zijn hogere resolutie het impactgebied opnieuw bekijken. Mogelijk zal de sonde dan ook het voorste hitteschild vinden dat op grotere hoogte is afgeworpen.
ESA beklemtoonde gisteren toch tevreden te zijn omdat de Schiaparelli een demonstrator was voor de twee robots die in het kader van het tweede luik van ExoMars moeten landen. Het tuig heeft een massa data over de afdaling in de Martiaanse atmosfeer doorgestuurd, in het bijzonder het AMELIA-instrument waarbij ook wetenschappers van de Koninklijke Belgische Sterrenwacht (KSB) betrokken zijn, en via de "orbiter" TGO die woensdag ongeveer tegelijkertijd succesvol in een baan op de Rode Planeet is gekomen. Ook waren er metingen met een radiotelescoop en de Europese Mars Express die sinds 2003 succesrijk rond Mars wentelt.
Op die "Trace Gas Obiter" staat het Belgische NOMAD-instrument dat het sporengas methaan in de Martiaanse atmosfeer meet vanuit de existentiële vraag of het een geologische dan wel biologische oorsprong heeft. De TGO functioneert ondertussen "zeer goed" en zal volgende maand twee keer ijkdata vergaren, zegt ESA.
Eerder op de dag meldde het doorgaans betrouwbare russianspaceweb.com dat software ervoor verantwoordelijk zou zijn dat de remraketten van de Schiaparelli onvoldoende lang werkten. Het communiqué van ESA zegt daarover enkel dat "de exacte aard van de anomalie aan boord van de Schiaparelli nog voorwerp van onderzoek is".
In 2003 mislukte ook de landing van de dochtersonde van de Mars Express, de in wezen Britse Beagle-2.
Amerikaanse wetenschappers hebben nieuw licht geworpen op een Marsmissie van 40 jaar geleden en dat zou verstrekkende gevolgen kunnen hebben. In een bodemstaal werden toen sporen gevonden die op leven konden duiden, maar het resultaat werd alom in twijfel getrokken omdat controletests geen duidelijk uitsluitsel gaven. Nieuw onderzoek toont nu aan dat de oorspronkelijke onderzoekers het tóch bij het juiste eind gehad zouden kunnen hebben.
De nieuwe studie werd uitgevoerd door Gilbert Levin van de universiteit van Arizona en Patricia Ann Straat van het Nationaal Gezondheidsinstituut in Bethesda, Maryland. Allebei waren ze ook betrokken bij de oorspronkelijke missie van de Vikingsatellieten en hun landers in 1976. Het was toen de meest ambitieuze poging van de wetenschap om de rode planeet te verkennen.
Vikings In maart 1976 kwamen de twee Vikings in een baan rond Mars, iets minder dan een jaar nadat ze op aarde waren vertrokken. Ze brachten als eerste de volledige oppervlakte van de planeet in kaart en ontdekten aanwijzingen dat er water op de planeet was. Of toch ooit was geweest.
Op 20 juli zette de eerste Vikinglander een poot aan de grond op Mars, zes weken later ook de tweede, zo'n 4.000 kilometer verderop. Ze zouden drie tests uitvoeren en als er ook maar één positief zou zijn, zou geconcludeerd kunnen worden dat de rode planeet bewoond was.
Geluk De eerste test - waarbij de bodem werd verhit en de moleculen werden gemeten die in gas veranderden - was negatief. En ook de tweede - waarbij aan een bodemstaal helium, water en voedingsstoffen werden toegevoegd om te zien of er een teken van leven was - kwam negatief terug. Maar bij de derde test hadden de wetenschappers meer geluk.
Bij die test werden voedingsstoffen toegevoegd aan een bodemstaal en vervolgens gelabeld met het radioactieve C14. Als er leven was, zou dat laatste element veranderen in radioactief kooldioxide, zoals op aarde. En dat gebeurde, bij de stalen van allebei de landers.
Controletest Een controletest - die moest uitmaken of het resultaat biologisch was of misschien eerder een chemisch proces - was echter niet duidelijk en dat bracht alom twijfel of er nu echt leven was gevonden of niet. De experimenten werden nooit verder gezet, dus het resultaat bleef onbeslist.
Maar volgens de nieuwe studie zouden resultaten van ándere wetenschappelijke experimenten die sindsdien op Mars werden uitgevoerd - op zoek naar water, methaan en andere organische elementen - wel degelijk wijzen in de richting van leven. "Leven is waarschijnlijk op Mars", schrijven de auteurs. "We zullen het evenwel nooit met zekerheid weten, want de stalen van de Vikings - die als eerste op Mars landden - zijn de enige waarvan we zeker weten dat ze niet besmet waren met aardse microben. Als we nu teruggaan, kunnen al sporen van leven gevonden worden die de afgelopen jaren werden achtergelaten bij allerhande missies naar de rode planeet."

Landing Marssonde Schiaparelli ging op laatste moment mis - HLN.be
Landing Marssonde Schiaparelli ging op laatste moment mis - HLN.be
VIDEOToch nog goed nieuws voor Europa: de marslander Schiaparelli is geland op de rode planeet. De vraag is alleen: hoe? Gisteren moest Schiaparelli aankomen op de rode planeet, maar tijdens de afdaling raakte het contact met de robot verloren. Er is iets misgelopen bij het afwerpen van het valscherm. Of en hoe het tuig de landing heeft overleefd is nog onduidelijk.
De vluchtleiding in het Duitse Darmstadt kreeg nu pas na lang wachten het verlossende signaal dat de lander op Mars staat.
De data van Schiaparelli die verzameld werd tijdens de landing, een 600 kilogram zware robot, is ontvangen door het moederschip. Dit betekent dat alle hardware geactiveerd is. Volgens de European Space Agency (ESA) is dat het meest belangrijke deel van Schiaparelli. Alle fases van de landing zijn volgens de planning verlopen, behalve de landing zelf. Daar reageerde de lander anders dan verwacht, aldus ESA.
Tot nu toe is niet bevestigd of Schiaparelli zacht geland is, of dat het om een crash-landing gaat. Daarmee is dus niet duidelijk of de marslander nog intact is. "Je hebt een beetje geluk nodig om te slagen", aldus Andrea Accomazzo, het hoofd van de ExoMars-missie. De werking van het hitteschild was voorbeeldig, maar die van de remmende parachute niet. De vluchtleiding bestudeert de signalen daarvan nog, zo deelde de ESA vandaag mee.
TGO ESA plaatste gisteren een satelliet genaamd Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) in een baan rond Mars en liet de zogenaamde ExoMars landen. Schiaparelli moest rond 16.48 uur Belgische tijd op het oppervlak aankomen.
De robot en de satelliet zijn de afgelopen maanden samen naar Mars gevlogen, met als doel om onder meer de dampkring van onze buurplaneet te onderzoeken. Zo speurt de Trace Gas Orbiter vooral naar methaan, een gas dat kan wijzen op minieme vormen van leven. De missie wordt samen met Rusland uitgevoerd.
2020 De landing van de Schiaparelli is in de eerste plaats bedoeld om de technologie te testen voor deel twee van de missie. Europa en Rusland willen namelijk rond 2020 weer naar Mars. In dat jaar moet een onbemande verkenner naar de rode planeet worden gebracht. Die kan over het oppervlak rijden en metersdiepe gaten boren, op zoek naar meer sporen van leven.

Expert: Ruimtesonde Voyager 2 van de NASA ‘gekaapt’ door aliens
Expert: Ruimtesonde Voyager 2 van de NASA ‘gekaapt’ door aliens
Er gaan verhalen rond dat de onbemande ruimtesonde Voyager 2 is gekaapt door aliens. Op 22 april 2010 ontstond er een probleem met de communicatie tussen de aarde en de sonde.
De Voyager, die al sinds 1977 in de ruimte is, stuurde signalen naar de aarde die niet te ontcijferen waren. Een bitje was spontaan van 0 naar 1 gesprongen. NASA resette de computer van de ruimtesonde, die sindsdien weer naar behoren lijkt te werken.
De Duitse academicus Hartwig Hausdorf stelde dat Voyager 2 vreemde signalen stuurde omdat de sonde was overgenomen door buitenaards leven.
Niet de hele waarheid
Sinds de lancering stuurde Voyager 2 continu gegevens naar de aarde, maar op 22 april 2010 kwam daar plotseling verandering in. NASA claimde dat er problemen waren met de software aan boord van de sonde, maar Hausdorf zei dat het mogelijk ging om het werk van aliens.
Hij merkte op dat alle andere delen van het ruimteschip normaal functioneerden. “Het lijkt erop dat iemand de sonde heeft gekaapt of opnieuw heeft geprogrammeerd,” vertelde de expert aan de Duitse krant Bild. “We kennen dus misschien nog niet de hele waarheid.”
Gouden plaat
Aan de Voyager 2 is een gouden plaat bevestigd, die begroetingen van aardbewoners in 55 talen en geluiden van de natuur op aarde bevat.
Deze plaat is een soort tijdcapsule, bedoeld als boodschap aan buitenaardse levensvormen, aldus dr. Edward Stone, die meewerkte aan het project.
British Cop Witnesses TALL WHITE Aliens Inspecting Fresh Crop Circl
British Cop Witnesses TALL WHITE Aliens Inspecting Fresh Crop Circle
Not many people know this, but back in 2009 a British police officer witnessed ‘Alien Beings’ inspecting a fresh crop circle in a middle of a field!
The Police Sergeant who has not been named, witnessed the event back in 2009. The Policeman was off duty at the time when he noticed the unusual ‘Beings’ in the field.
The Police Officer pulled his car over and walked over to the field to see what was going on as he apparently had a ‘strange’ feeling about what he was seeing. However, as he approached the ‘men’ – who were all way over 6ft tall with long blond hair – he suddenly heard “the sound of static electricity” and the trio ran away ”faster than any man he had ever seen” so fast that it apparently almost seemed ‘unreal’.
Many crop circles, including this one in May 2009, have appeared near Silbury Hill, Wiltshire
Leaving the scene of the strange event the Police Officer jumped quickly back into his car and travelled back home to Marlborough, Wiltshire, and then contacted paranormal experts and told them he had spotted a UFO.
Not surprisingly the Police force that the Officer works for, refused to comment at the time and stated “That it was a personal matter!”
The unnamed Police Officer asked for support off a Gentleman called Andrew Russell who is a Crop Circle Investigator.
Andrew described in detail what the Police officer saw on that unusual day:
”At first he thought they were forensic officers as they were dressed in white coveralls. He stopped his car and approached the field. ‘The figures were all over 6ft and had blond hair. They seemed to be inspecting the crop. When he got to the edge of the field he heard what he believed to be a sound not dissimilar to static electricity.
”This crackling noise seemed to be running through the field and the crop was moving gently, close to where the noise was.
”He shouted to the figures who, at first, ignored him, not glancing at him. When he tried to enter the field they looked up and began running.
”He said; ‘They ran faster than any man I have ever seen. I’m no slouch but they were moving so fast. I looked away for a second and when I looked back they were gone.
”I then got scared. The noise was still around but I got an uneasy feeling and headed for the car. For the rest of the day I had a pounding headache I couldn’t shift.”
This strange incident happened on July 6th as the Police Officer was driving down the road. Apparently the three very tall figures were inspecting the odd-shaped Crop Circle in the field. They all appeared deeply interested and analysing the Crop Circle – was it them who made it, or possibly was it their fellow colleagues from a far!?
The crop circle had been there in the field for a few days before this incident.
2009 was a very popular year for Crop Circles in the Wiltshire area, UK.
When the Police Officer walked over the unusual beings, they suddenly become ‘disturbed’ looking and ran off at speeds beyond the Officers belief! As soon as he looked away for a split second they were ‘gone’
A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said:
”The police officer was apparently off duty when this happened so we have no comment to make because it is a personal not a police matter.”
Another Crop Circle Expert, Colin Andrews, who investigated the incident alongside Andrew Russell, said he is ”convinced” by the police officer’s story and does not see any reason at all why the Officer would of made this story up!
”I am quite convinced the officer had an experience that day and one that we have not fully explored.”I think with the unusual movement of the being and the poltergeist experiences there is too much additional information to say that is something in nothing.” He said
Some have suspected that this was the Tall White Aliens that the Officer had witnessed. The Tall whites have even been acknowledged by Edward Snowden, who believes that they are very much in contact with Planet Earth and watching our every move.
The Tall Whites
U.I.P SUMMARY –
It is very interesting that this sighting was in Wiltshire, as this is one of the key UFO/Crop Circle areas around the world (please click HERE for more information on this). Could it possibly be that what this Police Officer saw were the Beings who are responsible for these crop circles being formed around the UK, or perhaps they are just as curious as to ‘what else’ is out there trying to communicate with Earth.
Yes Crop Circles have been deemed by many to be elaborate fakes by students or Drunk Famers at night, but when you actually look at the sheer amount of detail involved to these incredible designs, I personally feel it is impossible for any humans to create such a spectacle over night, in the pitch black of night!
Some people believe that Crop Circles were made by Orbs – please see a video below of an ‘apparent’ Orb caught on camera making a crop circle:
As far as what or WHO these Beings are, is a completely different matter altogether! The way that they have been described sounds just like the Tall White Aliens, and the way they move would kind of confirm that there were no odd-ball humans, but something else, something very unique and different!?
Is it a coincidence that one of the most unknown areas of the world, Stonehenge, is in Wiltshire, and that we have so many unusual sightings in this part of the UK……I don’t think so, and this is why this part of the world is one of THE top UFO Hotspots.
Hope to see you all at the end of August at one of the UK’s main UFO event – Warminster 2015

Alien Species Working With Our Governments
Alien Species Working With Our Governments
Hundreds of sightings, abductions and first-hand accounts have made it possible to distinguish several distinct alien species that have been in cahoots with military forces, deciding our future without ever consulting us. Below are some of the least obscure ones we could find.
1. The Sirians
Hailing from the Sirius B star system, the Sirians are as advanced as they are ancient. Throughout history, they have imparted their knowledge to human civilizations of their choosing. They gifted the ancient Egyptians with medical and astronomical information and the great pyramids and temples are said to have been built with their help.
The Mayans also had a special relationship with the Sirians, who shared information with this enigmatic South American civilization. The extraterrestrials originating from Sirius B are believed to have played a part in the disappearance of the Maya. They are accredited with leaving behind amazing artefacts such as thecrystal skulls.
Another earthly civilization that benefited from the Sirian presence were the Atlanteans; it is believed that during the cataclysmic event that sunk Atlantis, the Sirians were instrumental in leading the rescue operations. Other civilizations have been influenced by the Sirians, the most notable case being that of the Dogon tribe of West Africa.
Although they were more involved during our planet’s past, nowadays the Sirian’s supposedly play a more subtle role through technology exchange programs. They are often mentioned in connection with covert or exotic weapons research as well as time travel experimentation.
2. The Short Grays
Also known as the Zeta Reticulums, the Grays are some of the most well-known aliens. They are commonly depicted throughout alien pop culture and are the culprits of most alien abductions.
According to most descriptions, they stand 3 to 5 feet tall, have bulbous heads and over-sized black eyes. Although they possess a mouth, they seldom speak, as most communication is carried out telepathically. The short Grays are said to be a genetically-engineered worker race that are controlled by their superiors, the Tall Grays. Their telepathic abilities allow them to constitute a type of hive mind consciousness.
Being genetically-designed to carry out scientific missions, the short Grays are emotionless and cruel. They are also responsible for creating a human-gray hybrid race.
3. The Tall Grays
Standing 7 to 8 feet tall, hairless, and pale, the Gray Masters are the ambassadors of most meetings between human and alien forces. They represent both human and gray biological material combined, and therefore play a lead role in assisting the Short Grays with interacting with humanity. This species is involved in many genetic experiments, and there has now been a hybrid human-Gray race created, containing mind control and diplomatic agreements with the ‘shadow government,’ to which they represent. Sources claim they originate from a star system in the Orion constellation.
The Tall Grays supervise all abductions and human experiments but are seldom present during these events. They prefer to employ the services of their minions, the Short Grays. As it would seem, they are keen on developing a stable human-gray hybrid race, one worthy of inheriting Earth.
An advanced, self-centred race, they place little value on human life. They consider us their property.
4. The Alpha-Draconians
Corrupt and vicious, the Alpha-Draconians infiltrated human society thousands of years ago, and are the oldest known reptilian race in our galaxy. Although they came to Earth from their colonies on Alpha Draconis, their original home world is unknown.
They lay eggs and use a “battle hormone” to accelerate the birthing process. They are a duality. This is why ancestral females do not participate in war, because if they did, there wouldn’t be anybody there to help with the eggs. They also have to be there to secrete their hormone. I am only sharing with you what I know about them through years of research.
A decidedly giant reptilian species, they measure anywhere from 14 to 22 feet tall and weigh an estimated 1,800 pounds of mostly muscle. They can be compared to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. These Alpha-Draconians have black leathery brown scale bellies; whiskers along their chin and jaw line and have multiple abdomens. They are an intelligent race with large heads and reptilian eyes. Some accounts describe them as having tails or even wings and they are, in fact, the only genetic line of their ancestry that is not extinct.
Contactee Alex Collier says he was allowed to share some details about these extraterrestrials:
The Draconians are the force behind the repression of human populations everywhere in this galaxy, instilling fear-based belief systems and restrictive hierarchies.
[…] they’re extremely clairvoyant and extremely clever, and they can also be extremely sinister.”
The Draconians view themselves as the first intelligent species to evolve in the Milky Way galaxy. Competitive and expansive, they have populated many worlds. Their immense egos allow them to see themselves as the rightful rulers of lesser evolved worlds such as Earth.
Their continuous exploitation of the human race proves they consider us an inferior species.
Reports say there are actually two types of Alpha-Draconians divided into two castes: the giant ones are part of a royal caste called the Ciakar while the smaller ones (8 feet tall) form a well-trained warrior class.
5. The Native Reptilians
Often confused with the warrior caste of the Alpha Draconians, these reptilians are said to be native to Earth. Typically, Reptilians are described as being 6 to 8 feet tall, bipedal, with green scaly skin, body odor and large eyes with a vertical pupil. The little information available for this species states that they were originally left behind by the Alpha-Draconians to colonize Earth.
Their interaction with mankind goes back thousands of years, sometimes offering assistance but more often than not using us as a commodity. They have infiltrated almost all aspects of human life and hold positions of power. Several ancient peoples all over the world have described reptilian beings, acting hostile towards human beings. Common Reptilians manipulate our elites and rule our institutions and organizations. They built our current financial system and influence all religions.
The underground reptilian race is also said to control the media and all corporations. They are behind most crimes against humanity.
6. The Anunnaki
According to scientists, there is a 12th planet in our solar system (known as the possible ‘Planet X’). They refer to this planet as Nibiru, which is located somewhere beyond Pluto. This planet, unlike any other planet in our solar system, has an elliptical orbit and moves clockwise rather than counter clockwise. It is said that the collision of Nibiru and another planet in our solar system (Maldek) was what created Earth.
This planet is inhabited by the Anunnaki, who landed on Earth, and originally colonized it. They first came with the intention of mining Earth for gold and other minerals, and live a kind of idealistic society in a small colony. Before heading to Earth, the Anunnaki colonized the planets in the Orion star system.
In need of a workforce, they are said to have created mankind. Through genetic manipulation and in vitro fertilization, they upgraded the genus Homo to sapiens quality. Present on Earth since our inception, the Anunnaki have influenced every aspect of human life. We’ve inherited their patriarchal culture of violence and vengeance; it’s in our engineered DNA.
The Anunnaki are in direct competition with the Draconians for control over mankind.
U.I.P Summary:
It is rather revolting that the governments, controlled by the Bilderberg Group and the Illuminati, have given the green light to different alien species to take control over humanity, experimenting on us, kidnapping us, even starting some wars! But what the greedy elite don’t realise is that some species will enslave us to work for them and maybe become food, it might even have started already…

600 meter UFO Seen Over Colima Volcano, Mexico Caught By Streetcap1 On Live Cam, UFO Sightings Daily.
600 meter UFO Seen Over Colima Volcano, Mexico Caught By Streetcap1 On Live Cam, UFO Sightings Daily.
Date of sighting: Oct 23, 2016 Location of sighting: Colima, Mexico The mouth of this volcano is approximately 600 meters, and the UFOs distance directly matches that, thus the UFO is 600+ meters across. Colima is a volcano in Mexico that frequently has UFOs near it and even recorded coming out of it. Its known to UFO researchers as one of the main alien base in the country of Mexico, that and the one 4-5km below Popocatepetl volcano not far away. Excellent find by Streetcap1 of Youtube. Scott C. Waring Streetcap1 states: Really Fast had to slow this down to one-eighth speed. It was like a rocket.
Would Hillary Or Trump Actually Disclose The Truth About The Existence Of Aliens Among Us, Give Us Your Opinion, UFO Sighting News.
Would Hillary Or Trump Actually Disclose The Truth About The Existence Of Aliens Among Us, Give Us Your Opinion, UFO Sighting News.
Hey everyone, I've heard a lot of people talking politics for the last few months, and with the US presidential election in just 11 days, I was wandering what your opinion is about Hillary or Trump winning and the possibility of either of them disclosing the existence of ETI extra terrestrial intelligence. Sound off on the comments below, I'm anxious to hear your opinions about both of them. Oh, and be kind to each other please, we all have a right to our own opinion. Thanks, Scott C. Waring
Check out this amazing discovery of a UFO in a painting over the house of Dracula. This UFO does explain a lot. What if the stories of Dracula drinking blood to stay alive are true? Then him being an alien would make sense. I have heard that there are a few alien species that feed off of humans. Every story has a grain of truth...especially if it stands the test of time. Scott C. Waring Inquisitor states: A UFO appears to hover over a building that may be connected to the real-life Dracula in a recently uncovered painting from the town of Sighisoara, Romania. A photo of the mysterious painting that appears on the wall of a 700-year-old monastery was snapped this summer by tourist Catalina Borta, who sent it to a prominent UFO research group for evaluation.
The bizarre painting shows what appears to be a church — perhaps the same one where the painting was found — seemingly engulfed in flames. Over the church, a large, floating disc hovers, sending a column of smoke billowing toward the sky above. (More at source).

Each week we uncover the most interesting and informative articles around, here are 10 of the coolest stories in Science this week.
Roman battlefield uncovered:
Sling stones and other projectiles were found outside an ancient wall in Jerusalem, which are likely evidence of the Roman emperor Titus' siege of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
The ancestors of today's slithery snakes once sported full-fledged arms and legs, but genetic mutations caused the reptiles to lose all four of their limbs about 150 million years ago, according to two new studies.
Europe's ExoMars lander apparently crashed on the Red Planet, and an orbiting NASA spacecraft has spotted its grave, European Space Agency (ESA) officials said.
Clever detective work involving research on both ancient DNA and cave paintings from the last ice age has revealed a previously unknown species of hybrid bison, according to a new study.
Imagine having the level of detail in Google Maps but for the inner workings of the human body. A new international initiative is creating an atlas that will chart every single cell in the human body, encompassing all of the tissues within Homo sapiens.
A group of scientists has just claimed to have discovered two unknown voids or cavities within the Great Pyramid of Giza. But outside researchers are not so sure about the results.
Wealthy people appear to spend less time looking at other human beings, according to a new study that used Google Glass headsets to track people's gazes.
Elon Musk is a dreamer, and that’s a good thing, because it takes people with big dreams to do crazy things like travel to Mars. However, a famous science fiction author, who has written about the Red Planet extensively, says that theSpaceX CEO’s plans are, themselves, the stuff of outlandish fiction.
Kim Stanley Robinson, a Hugo Award-winning novelist, who wrote about colonizing Mars in his Mars trilogy — Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars — spoke to Bloomberg about Musk’s big plans. He was unimpressed.
“Musk’s plan is sort of the 1920s science-fiction cliché of the boy who builds a rocket to the moon in his backyard, combined with the Wernher von Braun plan, as described in the Disney TV programs of the 1950s. A fun, new story,” he said.
The 64-year-old thought that Musk’s plans, which could involve manned, one-way missions to Mars within a decade that cost $100,000 to $200,000 per ticket, were “not believable, which makes it a hard exercise to think about further.”
“Mars will never be a single-person or single-company effort,” he continued. “It will be multi-national, and take lots of money and lots of years.”
Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy.
Robinson also thought that sending people to live the rest of their lives on Mars, before we have any idea what prolonged exposure to Martian gravity and the elements does to a person, was a bad idea. He was further incensed by the idea of colonizing Mars to be a “lifeboat” for Earth, since we’re screwing up our home planet real bad.
“It’s important to say that the idea of Mars as a lifeboat is wrong, in both a practical and a moral sense,” he said. “There is no Planet B.”
Musk, who is a big sci-fi nerd, must be crushed. On the other hand, though, Musk mostly seems to know what he’s doing, and might just be crazy enough to pull it off.
The enigma has haunted humanity since the first giant bone was found poking from the ground: How the hell did the dinosaurs just die? Scientists are hoping the answer lies within the moon’s Schrödinger Basin, which has a lot to tell us about what happens when gigantic asteroids hit heavenly spheres.
Sixty-five million years ago, Chicxulub — we’re not sure whether to call it an asteroid or comet — struck our planet, setting off a catastrophic series of events that ultimately killed off nearly all the dinosaurs. It left a crater 110 miles across, but it’s hard to see, buried under a kilometer of sediment deposited since then by geological and hydrological processes.
Not so on the moon, where the lack of flowing water means asteroid impacts stay intact over time. “If one wants to imagine how the Chicxulub crater looked soon after impact, one only needs to peer at the Schrödinger basin on the Moon,” says David Kring of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in a release.
The moon's Schrödinger basin. According to lunar convention, craters more than 186 miles across are called basins.
New research led by Kring and published inNature Communications sheds new insight on the Schrödinger event on the moon and its implications for Earth’s own deep history.
About 3.8 billion years ago, when the Schrödinger impactor struck the moon, it excavated a hole maybe 20 miles deep, ejecting rock and magma in a sheet that rose 12 miles above the lunar surface before collapsing, leaving a crater 200 miles across, with an internal ring of jagged mountain peaks 1.5 miles high. This would have all gone down in less than an hour.
Earth’s own impact event would have looked similar, the research suggests, although it would have occurred even more quickly because of the stronger gravity. Imagine watching the event from a safe distance — the deep hole in the planet, the rising tide of red-hot molten rock, the sudden formation of a ring of towering mountains. That is some straight up Mordor shit.
The dinosaurs would not have all died right away, although those within several hundred miles of the impact site certainly would have been toast. The immediate aftermath was earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis. Molten rock would have rained down on the planet, at great distances from the impact sites, causing enormous forest fires.
The dust from the event would have plunged the planet into darkness that might have lasted six months, and disrupted photosynthesis for a year, dramatically decreasing global temperatures, perhaps freezing some parts of the planet solid. Those who survived all of this would still contend with new toxic chemicals in the air and rain. And when the freeze lifted, there was probably a period of global warming that continued for centuries, ultimately rising temperatures well above what they were before the impact.
When all was said and done, maybe three quarters of all species on Earth were gone forever. And among the dinosaurs, only birds survived. (Perhaps, according to one recent theory, because they ate seeds when all the plants had died.)
It was the end for the enormous and awe-inspiring creatures that come to mind when we think of dinosaurs, but it was also a beginning for those survivors that would go on to adapt to the new conditions and inherit the Earth, including our very own distant ancestors.
The Universe is Far Bigger Than We Thought, and It Has 10x More Galaxies
The Universe is Far Bigger Than We Thought, and It Has 10x More Galaxies
NASA/ESA
IN BRIEF
It turns out the observable universe has at least 10 times more galaxies than the mid 1990s Hubble Deep Field images count of about 100 to 200 billion.
The development of more advanced space telescopes in the future could unveil even more of the observable universe.
THE EXPANDED UNIVERSE
It turns out, what we call the observable universe — the part visible within our cosmological horizon, A.K.A. the final frontier — has at least 10 times more galaxies than the mid 1990s Hubble Deep Field images count of about 100 to 200 billion.
Using collected data from various deep space images from the Hubble Space Telescope and other sources, an international team of scientists led by Christopher Conselice from the University of Nottingham, UK, created a 3D map of the known universe. Mathematical models were used to calculate for galaxies current telescopes cannot yet observe. These showed that, to make sense of the numbers and the maps, about 90% of galaxies are far, far away and too faint to be seen clearly.
The map recreates, as accurately as possible, different times in the universe’s history as far back as 13 billion years in its past. Accordingly, when the universe was several billion years younger than today, it contained 10 more galaxies per unit volume. Galaxies decrease in number (and increase in size) as the billion years go by. “This gives us a verification of the so-called top-down formation of structure in the universe,” Conselice explains.
This helps answer Olbers’ Paradox (why the night sky remains dark, despite the many stars). The myriad of stars within the billions of galaxies invisible to the human eye because ofredshifting of light, the universe’s dynamic nature, and intergalactic dust and gas absorbing light. This keeps the night sky mostly dark — keeping the night sky mostly dark.
BIGGER SPACE FOR LIFE
“It boggles the mind that over 90% of the galaxies in the universe have yet to be studied. Who knows what interesting properties we will find when we observe these galaxies with the next generation of telescopes,” explains Conselice about the far-reaching implications of the new results.
The development of more advanced space telescopes in the future, beginning with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2018, would certainly help us see the observable universe clearly. Who knows what remains lurking just by that expanded frontier of space.
In any case, a larger known universe means an even wider space to accommodate the search for possible extraterrestrial life. Why not? Every time we think that we understand more of it, the universe seems to always surprise us with more.
Evidence from the Viking landers from the 1970s shows that we could have overlooked some evidence for life on the planet.
Finding any confirmation of life on Mars is very unlikely, but the ability to rake another look at promising evidence is an important backbone of science.
REVIEWING THE DATA
With all the attention Mars has been getting lately, scientists have been revisiting data from past mission to the red planet. Data from the Viking landings show evidence of of water,organic molecules, and methane. This increase in the potential signs of ancient life on Mars prompted researchers Gilbert V. Levin from Arizona State University and Patricia Ann Straat from the US National Institutes of Health to reexamine data from NASA’s 1976 Mars Viking landings.
Viking One. : NASA JPL
The researchers found traces of ambiguous chemical signals (radioactive 14CO2 isotope) in Martian soil collected in 1976 by the Viking landers. They don’t claim that the landers (whose locations were 6,500 km (4,000 miles) apart) definitively found life on Mars.
“[I]n the absence of a non-biological agent that satisfies all Viking findings, and in view of environmental evidence that Mars may well be able to support extant life, it seems prudent that the scientific community maintain biology as a viable explanation of the LR experimental results,” the researchers say, going against the widely-accepted opinion that Viking labeled release (LR) experiment on soil collected by the landers didn’t show signs biological processes.
AN UNLIKELY SCENARIO
“Even if one is not convinced that the Viking results give strong evidence for life on Mars, this paper clearly shows that the possibility must be considered. We cannot rule out the biological explanation,” said Chris McKay, NASA astrobiologist senior editor of Astrobiology that published the study.
Still, the researchers remain hopeful: “Life may therefore still exist, if only in a cryptobiotic state, subject to resuscitation whenever water becomes available.”
(video) JOURNEY TO AGARTHA, AN UNDERGROUND KINGDOM
(video) JOURNEY TO AGARTHA, AN UNDERGROUND KINGDOM
The explorer Ferdynand Ossendowski wrote a book in 1922 titled Beasts, Men and Gods. In the book, Ossendowski tells of a story which was imparted to him concerning a subterranean kingdom which exists inside the earth. This kingdom was known to the Buddhists as Agharti.
While once a popular concept, in the last century little serious attention has been paid to these conjectures (with the possibly apocryphal exception of Adolf Hitler), and the theory is not supported by modern science.
The myth of "Agartha" is also known as "Shambhala", as it was known in India, the underworld realm peopled by initiates and lead by 'the Masters", Masters who are the Spiritual leaders of humanity.
An underground kingdom, or rather another complete world beneath the Earth, over which reigns the King of the World.
An anti-hell where an anti-Satan makes his subjects perfectly happy and enjoying a long lasting due to Vril energy. Let’s see the matter a little closer…
'PLANET 9' - TEN TIMES THE SIZE OF EARTH - IS ‘TWISTING’ OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, SCIENTISTS SAY
'PLANET 9' - TEN TIMES THE SIZE OF EARTH - IS ‘TWISTING’ OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, SCIENTISTS SAY
Can one mysterious planet be shaping our solar system? Scientists are currently trying to answer that question. Most people are aware that the planets included in our solar system travel in orbits that are angled in comparison to the Sun. Does anyone know what causes this?
CAN ONE MYSTERIOUS PLANET BE SHAPING OUR SOLAR SYSTEM?
One culprit may be what scientists are referring to as "Planet 9." Planet 9 is an additional planet that is believed to be a part of our solar system. It is a unique planet, presumed to be traveling 20 times farther from our Sun than Neptune, at an angle that differs 30 degrees from the other planets in our solar system. (See image below)
Another important factor to take into consideration is the actual size of Planet 9 itself. Scientists speculate that the enigmatic planet is massive, about ten times the size of Earth. A planet that large would undoubtedly have an impact on our solar system if it did exist.
WHY SO MYSTERIOUS?
If Planet 9 is real, then why hasn't it officially been confirmed? How can a planet so large remain so elusive? The answer is in the length of its orbit. Scientists estimate that the average length of time that it takes Planet 9 to orbit the Sun is about 15,000 years, making it very difficult to study. That means the research will have to be ongoing for quite some time, while scientists keep an eye out in space for any signs of the mysterious giant.
A study was recently concluded which focused primarily on making more discoveries about Planet 9 in our solar system. The findings from the study will be available to the public once it is published in this month's edition of the Astrophysical Journal. Planet 9 may be incredibly cryptic, but scientist is getting closer to uncovering the truth about our solar system and planets every day.
Well, let's get started with this simple line of text, everything from this point on is a theory. Nothing in this article is fact. Do not take this as fact, do not claim me as a source of proof.
THE IDEA
So with the election coming up and the conflict with Russia seeming to be more and more in the media than ever before I have been thinking about a guy I read about John Titor.
John Titor claimed to be a "time traveler", but from my understanding, he was more of a "dimension jumper". For this to be true, the multi-universe theory would have to be true. He claims he came from an alternate timeline from the year 3036 (I believe that's the date). In his time his United States became a power house who didn't have the best interest of freedom and its people.
SO A REBELLION BROKE OUT, A CIVIL WAR STARTS
From this civil war the rebels where born, they were fighting for the "people" against a corrupt government. Isn't this the age-old tale of every nation everywhere at one point and time? Well here's where it gets interesting, in 2005 the war started the fighting broke out all over the nation. Obviously, this didn't happen in our timeline. But that's what is considered a variant, something that isn't the same.
So on with the tale, the United States was part of a thing called United Federation Empire. Could this be the "UN" of our timeline? I've noticed our military bases fly the UN flag now.
HERE COMES THE END
So as the story goes in 2015 Russia steps in. It uses tactical nukes and strikes key points destroying the "evil" empire. America has to rebuild, and the rebels look at this as a helpful attack from Russia. Other things that were destroyed where the European Union, can anyone say the Brexit of our time?
China was also destroyed; Russia became the biggest trade partner of the New America.
COULD THIS BE HAPPENING NOW?
With how Putin see's Hillary could this war be in our future? No citizen is truly happy with the choices we have for our commander and chief. With Wikileaks coming into the light of mainstream media and under attack because the truth must be silenced. Could this be it? Could the people start to rebel?
With Trump's stance could we become close to Russia, just to turn on them? Could Putin get sick of Trump's arrogance and come to the people's aid?
