Disc UFO photographed over Hawaiian mountain
Disc UFO photographed over Hawaiian mountain
A Hawaiian witness at Waikane reported photographing a hovering, disc-shaped UFO near Kaneoha Bay, according to testimony in Case 79999 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

“I noticed one of them was not like the others,” the witness stated.“At first I thought a wood chip was on my lens, but I looked closer and I realized I had spotted a UFO. Now, I don’t really believe in stereotypical UFOs, but this creeped me out so much that I’m reporting it just in case it really is one. The unidentified object I saw was a disk, football shape and it was yellow/orange. When I zoom up on my camera, there seems to be a dome on thetop as well.”

Hawaii MUFON State Director David McManus is investigating. Please be cautious of UFO photography and video, especially when the witness did not see the actual object. There are many camera-lens anomalies that must be ruled out during the investigation before a determination is made.
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.
A lot more people are now looking up in the sky after a strange night like Tuesday evening. The online world exploded with claims, pictures, and videos of a UFO sighting in the dark sky above East Valley.
Some suggest it is a comet; others say it is a space junk, or perhaps an airplane.
Dr. Sky, a television personality, and radio talk show host that’s syndicated across the U.S. and Canada, said that they saw a lot of stacked aircraft from Sky Harbor with the air traffic patterns in the Valley.
His show talks about the universe and the outer space.
Though he could not rule out airplanes, he said it did not look quite right.
Another witness, Christinna Herrmann, 41, said she had seen a lot of things in the sky at her age, but the UFO on Tuesday night is nothing she has seen in her life.
So, was the aerial thing a UFO?
According to Dr. Sky, anything people see that is considered as a UFO is simply accurate because they can’t identify it.
So, was the spectacle in the sky on Tuesday night alien?
Dr. Sky said that most people know about alien visitation, pointing out the Roswell incident that took place in the 1940s. He added that people are going to continue to get the bottom of what everyone saw in the Arizona skies.
UFO Crashes In Saudi Arabia After Being Hit With Surface To Air Missile
UFO Crashes In Saudi Arabia After Being Hit With Surface To Air Missile
A tremendous noise was heard in the sky on October 19, Wednesday, after evening prayers in Saudi Arabia. Then the sighting of an intense, large light followed. It was heading from the west over a region located in the east of Riyadh.
Residents did not think it was a meteor because it didn’t look like it. They said that it was a blue, green shooting out green flashes. A 40-year-old witness, who introduced himself as Khalid, stated that they were baffled as no one has ever seen anything like it.
Before going south toward the Yemeni desert, the UFO changed course multiple times. A rebel shot the UFO using a low altitude surface to air missile system with a passive infrared homing guidance and high explosive warhead. In contrast to the general idea of UFOs, which typically so advanced that any sophisticated weapons on Earth would find a hard time to take them down, this particular UFO was taken down with just a single shot.
The location of the crash site was immediately determined. A Saudi helicopter revealed an aerial photograph along with the story and embedded location. The location is a dessert located about 220 miles north and slightly east of Al Mukalla. However, it is not determined on what happen to the alien in the photo.
No report about the incident in the west, but it was witnessed as far as Kuwait. Residents in the region where the object was reportedly heading claimed they heard an explosion and felt a tremor as if something had crashed.
The Saudi government has allegedly sealed the area, which borders Yemen, but has not released information regarding the alleged crash site. Houthi rebels have been in rebellion against the Yemen government that started in 2015. Rebel sources claimed one of their men fired at the UFO using a shoulder type 9K-32 Strelka and brought down the unknown aerial thing.
Triangle UFO Caught On Video At Marysville in Washington
Triangle UFO Caught On Video At Marysville in Washington
A hovering triangle UFO with three lights was sighted at Marysville in Washington. According to the report of the witness, he was sitting in their backyard along with his wife at 3:45 p.m. on September 10, 2016, when the strange sighting happened.
The reporting witness just happened to look up the clear blue sky when a UFO appeared to his view. He first thought of it as a satellite but realized it had lights that were changing in colors and movement.
He then thought it might be an airplane approaching with its lights on. His wife also observed the object, and they managed to get a video of it. For ten minutes, the object stayed in one position in the sky. The pair’s sighting lasted for 15 minutes.
MUFON investigator Timothy Ward talked with the couple about their UFO sighting.
Ward said that the pair told him the same story. They saw a triangle object at about 60-degree angle with three golden lights from the horizon. The husband and wife saw it from the north and hovered for 10 minutes and recorded it on video. The UFO then moved off to the east.
Ward checked for satellites and ISS, but none found at the observation time in the area. Chief Investigator Maryanne Snyder confirmed that the video isn’t manipulated. The witness report is filed under case 79072 in the witness reporting database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
Grootste radiotelescoop ter wereld gericht op ‘buitenaardse megastructuur’
Grootste radiotelescoop ter wereld gericht op ‘buitenaardse megastructuur’
Het Breakthrough Listen-project gaat de komende 10 jaar 100 miljoen dollar investeren in de zoektocht naar signalen van buitenaardse beschavingen.
Tabby’s ster zal als eerste worden bestudeerd met de 100 meter grote Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, zo hebben leden van het team aangekondigd.
De komende twee maanden wordt de grootste radiotelescoop ter wereld drie nachten acht uur lang op de ster gericht. Woensdag zijn de eerste waarnemingen verricht.
Vreemde gedrag
Tabby’s ster, officiële naam KIC 8462852, bevindt zich op zo’n 1500 lichtjaar van de aarde. Uit waarnemingen met NASA’s Kepler-telescoop bleek dat de ster de afgelopen jaren diverse keren een stuk zwakker is geworden, soms tot wel 22 procent.
Deze periodieke helderheidsdipjes kunnen volgens astronomen niet worden verklaard door een planeet die om de ster draait.
Sommigen denken dat een onbekende structuur in de ruimte ergens tussen de aarde en Tabby’s ster verantwoordelijk is voor het vreemde gedrag van de ster.
Bizar ding
Het is ook mogelijk dat de helderheidsdipjes worden veroorzaakt door een buitenaardse megastructuur – bijvoorbeeld een enorme verzameling zonnepanelen.
Dat klinkt misschien vergezocht, maar teamleden van Breakthrough Listen willen het niet bij voorbaat uitsluiten.
“De kans is klein, misschien één op een miljard, maar we gaan de mogelijkheid toch onderzoeken,” zei hoofdwetenschapper van Berkeley SETI Dan Werthimer in een verklaring.
“Als ET wordt ontdekt zal het denk ik zoiets zijn; een bizar ding dat iemand bij toeval ontdekt, dat niemand verwacht,” vervolgde hij. “En als we dan beter kijken zien we dat het om een beschaving gaat.”
Mysterie rond dood UFO-expert Max Spiers groeit: Zwart braaksel en gewiste computer
Mysterie rond dood UFO-expert Max Spiers groeit: Zwart braaksel en gewiste computer
UFO-expert en aanhanger van complottheorieën Max Spiers zei vlak voor zijn dood tegen zijn moeder dat zij de zaak moest laten onderzoeken als er iets met hem zou gebeuren.
Enkele dagen later werd hij door zijn vriendin Monika Duval dood gevonden in Polen, waar hij was voor een lezing over samenzweringstheorieën. Hij spuugde ook een ‘zwarte vloeistof uit’.
Volgens de politie zou hij een natuurlijke dood zijn gestorven, maar zijn moeder zegt dat er meer aan de hand is.
Vanessa Bates laat weten dat de computer van de UFO-expert is gewist waardoor ze niet kan achterhalen waar Max zich in zijn laatste dagen mee bezighield.
David Icke
De Poolse politie staat op het punt de zaak te sluiten en zet het onderzoek alleen voort als Bates een betaling doet van 1000 pond. “Er zijn allerlei puzzelstukken die niet in elkaar passen en die een groot vraagteken vormen,” zei ze.
Toen Vanessa na haar scheiding naar Los Angeles verhuisde, begon Max vraagtekens te zetten bij de overheid.
“Hij werd beïnvloed door David Icke en ontmoette andere intelligente mensen die er soortgelijke gedachten op nahielden,” zei ze.
Max geloofde net als Icke dat sommige politici en beroemdheden deels reptiel zijn en dat een Nieuwe Wereldorde onder leiding van neonazi’s hordes ‘supersoldaten’ creëerde met behulp van mind control.
Experimenten
Hij stond over de hele wereld voor volle zalen. Max claimde in 2008 te zijn ‘ontwaakt’ uit de mind control. Hij begon overal vraagtekens bij te zetten, aldus Vanessa.
Max ontmoette Stewart Swerdlow, een in Amerika geboren spiritist die claimt dat de Amerikaanse overheid experimenten op hem uitvoerde.
Swerdlow nodigde Spiers uit voor zijn conferentie in Polen. “Max belde me op en zei ‘mam, ik zit in de problemen. Er zijn hier mensen die slecht zijn’. Hij zei dat ik de zaak moest onderzoeken als er iets met hem gebeurde,” zei Vanessa.
Twee dagen later kreeg Vanessa een sms’je van één van zijn contacten waarin alleen stond: ‘Max is dood’.
“Monika belde me op en zei dat hij die ochtend twee liter zwarte vloeistof had uitgespuugd,” voegde Bates toe. “Waarom ging ze niet met hem naar het ziekenhuis?”
WIJ ZIJN VOEDSEL EN WERKKRACHTEN VOOR DE BUITENAARDSE MEESTERS
WIJ ZIJN VOEDSEL EN WERKKRACHTEN VOOR DE BUITENAARDSE MEESTERS
Een Canadese wetenschapper die werkt voor een geheime Canadese organisatie stuurt een e-mail naar John Podesta, de campagneleider van Hillary Clinton. Hij werkt aan geheime projecten voor buitenaardsen en wil nu eindelijk wel eens weten voor wie of wat hij nu eigenlijk werkt.
Na de recente lading e-mails die via Wikileaks naar buiten zijn gekomen van John Podesta, zal het moeilijker en moeilijker voor overheden worden om buitenaards leven te ontkennen.
Tussen al die e-mails zit er ook één van een Canadese wetenschapper die zegt te weten dat wij niets anders zijn dan voedsel en werkkrachten voor buitenaardse meesters en dat het hoog tijd wordt dat Amerika nu eindelijk eens volledige openheid van zaken gaat geven.
De e-mail is vorig jaar november geschreven en verstuurd naar John Podesta en is te lezen op de Wikileaks website.
Voor de Nederlandse lezers hebben wij de inhoud van de e-mail vertaald en deze volgt hierna. Interessant daarin is ook dat de man spreekt over bewoners van Mars die hier zouden zijn geland.
Geachte mijnheer Podesta,
Mijn naam is Ken Coffin en ik ben een Canadees staatsburger die woont in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Als goede buur en bondgenoot van Amerika, was ik nieuwsgierig waarom NASA de Canadese spionage instanties verkeerde of misleidende informatie verschaft betreffende bepaalde afwijkende scenario’s die zich nu voor doen.
Onze inlichtingendiensten hebben hun beperkingen. We zijn afhankelijk van Amerikaans Canadese samenwerking om onze doelstellingen te behalen, die voor Amerika prachtige nieuwe werktuigen opleveren.
Waarom worden wij buiten- en afgesloten? Ik neem dat, zowel als Canadees staatsburger als lid van de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap, persoonlijk. We kunnen de ionenmotor niet verbeteren als we worden buitengesloten.
Als Amerika onze langdurige vriendschap niet wil voortzetten en alleen maar wil handelen uit eigenbelang, dan kunnen we charade van een NAFTA nu beëindigen.
We waren vanuit technologisch standpunt superieur aan Amerika. We hebben Amerika niet nodig en ik denk dat u het met mij eens zult zijn dat Amerika zonder onze inspanningen nooit uitgegroeid zou zijn tot wat het nu is.
Canadezen zijn eigenaar van Hollywood, Florida, de Stanley Cup en wij hebben recht op de Pennant (sportvlag) die van ons werd gestolen door een baseball staking.
Omdat we daar alle recht op hebben, eisen wij volledige disclosure van buitenaards contact en alle verdragen die Amerika heeft gesloten met buitenaardsen. We mogen dan geen sterke inlichtingendienst hebben, we hebben wel weten vast te stellen dat wij voedsel, werkkrachten en generatoren voor hulpmiddelen zijn voor buitenaardse Meesters.
Onze informatie is rechtstreeks afkomstig van jullie Ministerie van Defensie, informeel en niet officieel, door betrouwbare bronnen. Wat wij nu willen weten, is of wij mee kunnen spelen of dat we, net zoals de laatste keer, buitenspel gezet zullen worden.
Ik vertegenwoordig een organisatie in Canada die officieel niet bestaat, die eruit ziet als jullie DARPA, maar met de overheid samenwerkt om een positieve zakelijke groei te bewerkstelligen.
Ons belang ligt in een positieve bijdrage voor de groei van de mensheid. Wij denken dat we de wereld een betere plek kunnen maken, gelukkiger en met meer vrede. Maar, we kunnen dat niet doen als we op het punt staan een massale uitroeiing van de mensheid mee te maken.
Onze historische gegevens zijn fout en met alle informatie die wordt achtergehouden of waarover wordt gelogen, krijgen wij het gevoel dat Amerika ons in een val lokt. Als u ons alstublieft zou willen helpen, zou dat heel erg worden gewaardeerd.
We moeten gewoon weten met wie en wat we te maken hebben. Wat zijn hun bedoelingen? Zijn ze vijandig? Kunnen wij hen stoppen als het nodig is. Wat voor overeenkomsten zijn er gesloten? Als blijkt dat Amerika het vertrouwen van Canada heeft beschaamd of zichzelf naar voren heeft geschoven ten koste van Canada, dan kan ik u vertellen dat wij niet nog een Afghanistan zullen tolereren. Dat was tien jaar werk verspild.
We hoeven Amerika niet de cup te laten winnen of hen de Pennant laten veroveren en we hoeven zeker niet onze valuta kunstmatig laag te houden om het Amerikaanse ego te bevredigen.
Wij kunnen ook zelf overeenkomsten sluiten met deze buitenaardse bezoekers/Marsbewoners die zijn geland. Maar, wij zullen hen niet benaderen, tenzij Amerika ons geen toegang tot hen geeft en ons niet volledig informeert.
Mijn advies is om te zorgen dat wij ook aan tafel komen. Wij hebben meer informatie nodig, want onze gegevens zijn op dit moment niet up to date. Onze mislukte pogingen om te proberen UFO’s te vangen, laat zien hoe zwak wij waren. Dat is omdat wij geen idee hebben met wie we te maken hebben. We hebben meer gegevens nodig.
Daarnaast hebben we hulp nodig omdat de magnetische pool zich beweegt in de richting van de evenaar. We hebben hulp nodig. Als we bondgenoten vinden die ons kunnen helpen, dan zijn ze van harte welkom. Of anders zullen we in ieder geval over 20+ jaar allemaal dood zijn.
Het magnetisch noorden bevindt zich nu boven Siberië. In tien jaar tijd zal het zich boven de Zwarte Zee bevinden en over 20 jaar boven Indonesië. Als Amerika een overeenkomst kan bewerkstelligen, dan zou nu een goede tijd zijn om te beginnen met de “calling in of favors”. (Aankloppen bij mensen of buitenaardsen die bij jou in het krijt staan om iets terug te doen).
VLIEGTUIG AMERIKAANSE KUSTWACHT FILMT UFO ( VIDEO )
VLIEGTUIG AMERIKAANSE KUSTWACHT FILMT UFO ( VIDEO )
Een vliegtuig van de Amerikaanse kustwacht ziet tijdens een routinevlucht vanaf Puerto Rico een vreemd roze/rood licht boven de oceaan.
Ze geven het door aan de verkeersleiding die bevestigt ook een object te zien op de radar, maar ook dat ze niet weten wat het is.
Zeer interessante videobeelden die al enkele jaren geleden zijn gemaakt, doen nu de ronde op internet.
Het betreft opnames gemaakt met een camera aan boord van een DHC-8 vliegtuig van de Amerikaanse kustwacht.
De video is blijkbaar in handen gekomen, via een klokkenluider, bij een groep die zich Scientific Coalition for Ufology(SCU) noemt. Volgens SCU heeft het lang geduurd voordat ze de video hebben gepubliceerd omdat ze er honderd procent zeker van wilden zijn dat de deze echt was.
Dat schijnt nu het geval te zijn en het verhaal gaat als volgt:
De video is opgenomen aan boord van het vliegtuig van de kustwacht dat onder de verantwoording valt van de DHS (Department of Health and Security) als onderdeel van wat men noemt Customs and Border Protection.
Het vliegtuig was gestationeerd op het Aguadilla vliegveld van Puerto Rico en vertrekt op 25 april 2013 voor een patrouillevlucht ’s avonds om twintig over negen.
De bemanning zag tijdens die routinevlucht op een bepaald moment een rose/roodachtig licht boven de oceaan. Aangezien hen niet was verteld dat er zich daar ander verkeer zou ophouden, namen ze contact op met de verkeersleiding.
Deze kwamen terug met de mededeling dat ook zij een object zagen, maar het niet konden identificeren.
Op de video die met de camera aan boord is gemaakt, zie je een vreemd vliegend voorwerp dat duidelijk geen vliegtuig of drone is. Het object lijkt op een soort metalen bol en vliegt vreemde patronen.
Het onbekende object vloog met een snelheid van enkele honderden kilometers per uur net boven de grond. Het meest vreemde deel van de opname is wanneer het op een gegeven moment weer boven het water van de oceaan komt en in tweeën breekt.
Misschien is dit soort berichten aanleiding voor meer klokkenluiders om ook met hun verhalen naar buiten te komen. Van officiële zijde hoeven wij wat dat betreft helemaal niets te verwachten, maar als er een stroom klokkenluiders met informatie komt, worden ze misschien gedwongen om eindelijk openheid van zaken te geven.

UFO Competes With Blue Angels At Air show In Florida, Photos, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: 3-22-2016, reported today Location of sighting: Pensacola, Florida, USA Source: MUFON #80068 This UFO was caught shooting past the Blue Angeles a few months ago. Alien craft are often attracted to planes and jets because aliens want to learn about the most advanced and fastest methods of travel we have on Earth. Jets offer them a lot of fun for several reasons. First they see the technology. Second they get to see them doing acrobatic manoeuvres. Third, they get to test their UFO to see if the UFO is capable of doing the same manoeuvres or not, which is what the UFO is doing in the photo above.
The close up of the UFO shows that it has many windows in it, which means its not a drone, and it has many people. The size of the UFO looks to be the same of the plane, however the thickness would indicate that the aliens are only about 1 foot or less tall. Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
Went to watch the Blue Angels practice in Pensacola. UFO showed up in one of my photos and appears to be traveling very fast. Never saw it with my naked eye.
How The Universe Would Look If You Could See Radio Waves
How The Universe Would Look If You Could See Radio Waves
The word “spectacular” comes to mind.
David FreemanManaging Editor of Impact & Innovation, The Huffington Post
NATASHA HURLEY-WALKER/ICRAR/CURTIN AND THE GLEAM TEAM
The GLEAM view of the center of the Milky Way in radio color. Red indicates the lowest frequencies, green the middle frequencies and blue the highest frequencies. Each dot is a galaxy with around 300,000 radio galaxies observed as part of the GLEAM survey.
Maybe you’ve always wondered what the universe would look like if you could see radio waves ― or maybe not. Either way, you’ll be wowed by this extraordinary new view of the cosmos as seen by the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope in the Australian outback.
Even astronomers are awed by the view, a product of the Galactic and Extragalactic All-Sky MWA (GLEAM) survey of 300,000 galaxies in frequencies from 70 to 230 megahertz.
Those frequencies are invisible to the naked eye.
“The human eye sees by comparing brightness in three different primary colors ― red, green and blue,” Dr. Natasha Hurley-Walker, an early career research fellow at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) in Bentley, Western Australia, and the lead author of a new paper describing the the survey, said in a press statement. “GLEAM does rather better than that, viewing the sky in 20 primary colors.”
For an even more spectacular viewing experience, the “Gleamoscope” tool (below) lets you see the universe as it appears across the electromagnetic spectrum ― from radio waves and microwaves, to far-infrared and visible light, to X-rays and gamma rays.
Hurley-Walker and her collaborators are interested in more than just pretty pictures, as you might imagine.
“Large sky surveys like this are extremely valuable to scientists and they’re used across many areas of astrophysics, often in ways the original researchers could never have imagined,” ICRAR astronomer Dr. Randall Wayth, a co-author of the paper, said in the statement.
Dr. Jay Pasachoff, an astronomer at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, called the GLEAM survey “important research” in an email to The Huffington Post. He added, “It’s great that there are new radio telescopes ... that are mapping the radio waves that come from celestial objects at finer resolutions than we had before.”
Yale astrophysicist Dr. Meg Urry gave a similar assessment of the GLEAM research. In an email to HuffPost, she called it “a gold mine for scientists interested in many different areas.”
The GLEAM astronomers are using the survey to find out what happens when clusters of galaxies collide, Hurley-Walker said, adding that they’re also able to see remnants of explosions from the oldest stars and supermassive black holes’ “last gasp.”
Of course, the real gasps will be the ones from the people who see the image.
SHOCKING! SCIENTISTS REVEAL THE UNIVERSE COULD DELETE ITSELF AT ANY MOMENT
SHOCKING! SCIENTISTS REVEAL THE UNIVERSE COULD DELETE ITSELF AT ANY MOMENT!
The end of everything is nearing us all! Or perhaps not, but we won't know when it's here.
It's a mysterious universe we are living in, so magnificent and complex that researchers and experts have come up with hundreds of theories on how it originated, how it works and when it ends.
The infinite questions that we hold about the universe will keep us thrilled for the rest of our lives, and the universe will probably end before we can even figure it out.
We fear the universe will trigger either a Big Crunch or a Big Rip during it's course, colliding into a singularity state or ripping itself apart.
Scientists have revealed that the universe could delete itself, without anyone even noticing it. Experts believe that our universe has reached it's lowest state with every particle in existence except for the "Higs Field".
The Sun’s Mysterious Tilt Gets A Surprising Explanation
The Sun’s Mysterious Tilt Gets A Surprising Explanation
Astronomers point to Planet Nine.
David FreemanManaging Editor of Impact & Innovation, The Huffington Post
DETLEV VAN RAVENSWAAY VIA GETTY IMAGES
The solar system.
For more than a century and a half, astronomers have known that the sun is tilted.
That is, the sun rotates on an axis that isn’t quite perpendicular to the orbits of Earth and the other major planets ― all of which lie in the same plane because all formed out of a disk-shaped cloud of gas and dust that was spinning around the sun early in the solar system’s 4.6-billion-year history.
But no one has ever come up with a convincing explanation for this peculiar tilt ― until now.
Planet Nine is thought to be about 10 times bigger than Earth and about 500 times farther from the sun, according to Space.com. Its orbit is believed to be inclined at an angle of about 30 degrees from the other planets’ orbital plane.
This cockeyed orbit means that Planet Nine’s gravitational forces have been tugging on the other planets in a way that has gradually caused their orbital plane to shift.
“Because Planet Nine is so massive and has an orbit tilted compared to the other planets, the solar system has no choice but to slowly twist out of alignment,” Elizabeth Bailey, a graduate student at Caltech and the study’s lead author, said in a press statement.
The sun’s spin axis has a tilt of about 6 degrees off the orbital plane of the major planets. And when the scientists calculated how much of a tilt Planet Nine would have caused, they came up with the same number. Mystery solved!
Of course, technically speaking, the sun only appears tilted from our perspective.
“What’s actually going on is that the sun is staying put in its fixed reference frame and it’s the planetary orbits that are being tilted by Planet Nine,” study co-author Konstantin Batygin, an assistant professor of planetary science at Caltech, told Astronomy magazine. “So Planet Nine has tilted the entire disk of the solar system by 6 degrees and because we live on that disk...to us it looks like the sun is tilted, but it’s actually the other way around.”
But if that’s the explanation for the sun’s apparent tilt, what explains Planet Nine’s bizarre orbit?
There are several possible explanations, Batygin told The Huffington Post. The likeliest, he said, is that early in the solar system’s history, gravitational forces from a star not far from the sun pulled Planet Nine from the orbital plane that until then it had shared with the other planets.
Of course, that’s not proven. Nor has it been proven that Planet Nine actually exists.
“It’s not firmly established that Planet Nine is there, because we’ve never seen it,” Batygin said. “Am I certain that it’s there? Absolutely.”
And proof could be on the way. Batygin said several groups of astronomers are searching for Planet Nine using some of the world’s biggest telescopes.
How ny drones does it take to screw in a light bulb? Apparently two, and about nine smashed bulbs (hey, progress requires risks), according to the description of a fascinating video uploaded to YouTube Sunday.
The video shows a quadcopter attempting to replacing a ceiling’s light bulb, while putting a new spin on the worn-out joke, and highlighting how we could one day keep the lights on.
During the drone’s first attempt, the remote-controlled flyer struggles to connect with the bulb and crashes to the ground. (It wiped out pretty good, which we think could be when the second drone came into play.) After multiple tries the drone successfully grasps the bulb with its three prongs. Just a few spins later, it unscrews the bulb.
The drone then carries a replacement bulb up to the outlet before taking another spin to secure it in place. This last step proves to be the easiest and soon the bulb is glowing.
What other hard-to-reach light fixtures could drones one day maintain for us? The future is clearly bright.ma
Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle, Roswell. Why are the most famous UFO mysteries so United States-centric? Movies probably have a lot to do with it.
In fact, it was the Independence Day Resurgence home release last week that got us thinking — what about Australia?
Our overseas mates might be surprised to learn that Australia can really hold its own when it comes to spooky UFO reports and abduction testimonies. With mass sightings, "alien hot spots” and even a mysterious oceanic triangle of its own; Down Under has its fair share of alien stories to tell around the camp fire.
Want to hear some? It's almost Halloween, after all. Granted, it's not a holiday directly associated with aliens but you get it. *insert spooky synth sounds*
Mary Rodwell is the founder and principal of the Australian Close Encounter Resource Network, and she's the person you call when you spot a potential UFO, FYI. Especially since the Royal Australian Airforce (RAAF) officially stopped looking into reported sightings in the '90s. She says that it's due to Australia's large size and small population that you don't hear about UFO sightings more.
She told Mashable: "A lot of the time so we don't get it [UFO sightings] recorded or people don't want to talk about it, particularly in more isolated places where farmers see stuff, as they do, and have that experience.
"I have people contacting me every week ... So this isn't just dear old America here, this is everywhere," she said.
While it may be happening everywhere and on the regular, there are some definite Aussie stand outs when it comes to UFO tales. And thanks to Rodwell, we have some leads on the best ones. You're welcome!
1. Mass sighting at Westall High School
The Westall incident is often referred to on the dark corners of the web (where Angel Fire websites dwell), as Australia's most significant mass UFO sightings. It occurred in 1966 at Westall High School in Melbourne. Over 100 students, teachers and members of the public claimed to have seen three metallic objects in the sky, hovering closely.
Afterwards, witnessed claimed they were paid a visit by "men in black" and teachers said they were told to dismiss the incident by police and military authorities. A case of mass hysteria, or something more? *X Files theme tune plays softly in the background*
2. Frederick Valentich, the pilot that vanished
Okay, this is a doozy. in 1978, a 20-year-old pilot and UFO enthusiast named Frederich Valentich was flying over the Bass Strait (separating Tasmania and mainland Australia) when he radioed air traffic control in Melbourne.
In the transmission, the young man describes an object hovering 300 metres (1,000 feet) above him and said it was "not an aircraft." He made statements like "it has a green light and a sort of metallic light on the outside," and "It’s coming for me right now," before his signal was lost. His plane disappeared without a trace. *mystery intensifies*
These nice YouTubers have recorded a reenactment of the transmission.
3. Kelly Cahill, X Files inspiration
Australian woman with the pseudonym "Kelly Cahill" was referenced in the first rebooted episode of the X Files, because that's how cool her case is. In 1993, she and her husband were driving though the Dandenong Ranges when they saw a big ol' "blimp" thing and went to get a closer look.
Next minute, Cahill wakes up in her own car feeling oddly relaxed. The couple returned home only to realise they'd lost an hour and creepily, that Cahill had a painful triangular mark near her bellybutton. Over the next few weeks, she experienced flashbacks, eventually appearing on TV programme Today Tonight (of course) to tell the story of her abduction.
4. The case of the Knowles family
Believers like Mary Rodwell say the 1988 experience of Faye Knowles and her three sons (and their two dogs) is one of the most significant "close encounter" testimonies ever.
Also reportedly involving several witnesses, the story goes involves the family witnessing an egg-like, bright structure. They then went on a high-speed car chase against the object, climaxing with the family's car being lifted from the road as weird black dust, high-pitched sound and a horrible smell overwhelmed the car. "I felt like my brain was being sucked out," said eldest son Patrick at the time. *dun dun DUN*
5. Wycliffe Well, self-described UFO capital
UFO hobbyists rejoice! Australia's got its own tiny town chock full of cute alien signposts. It's a great place for a road-side Instagram. Wycliffe Well is found in the Northern Territory and it calls itself the UFO capital of Australia.
While the idea that it actually experiences "nightly UFO sightings" is up for debate, there's no doubt that it's got the quirkiest caravan park for miles around.
While it's cool to think about road tripping to Australia's UFO hotspots, according to Rodwell, if extra terrestrial beings want to contact you, they'll damn well find a way.
"There does seem to be certain places where craft are seen that little bit more often," she says, "but to be quite honest with you if you're someone they're interested in they can pick you up ... It can be a huge craft above Sydney that you would never see but it would be there if it needs to be…"
Better keep those eyes peeled, earthlings. The truth is out (back) there.

French town upholds UFO ban, flying saucers will be impounded
French town upholds UFO ban, flying saucers will be impounded
It may be among the most popular destinations for human tourists but aliens will have to holiday elsewhere, as the mayor of idyllic French town Châteauneuf-du-Pape refuses to lift a ban against UFOs in the area.
"Any aircraft, known as flying saucer or flying cigar, which should land on the territory of the community will be immediately held in custody," the upheld law reads, introduced in 1954 after a man in the area claimed to see two beings dressed like “deep sea divers” emerging from a “cigar-shaped” space-ship, according to France Bleu.
"I'm not going to touch the ban," mayor Claude Avril told France Bleu, attributing the bizarre law to “making a buzz” for the town
The ban, introduced by then-mayor Lucien Young, was praised as brilliant marketing by his son Elie Jeune who said "At that time, people were talking a lot about extra-terrestrials and the unknown, it was in fashion, and there were loads of stories circulating."
"He wanted to make a bit of an advertisement for Châteauneuf,” he added. “It was an excellent publicity stunt... and free."
A Californian vineyard “Cigare Volante,” whose name was inspired by the ban, is proof of his father's plan paying off, along with the fact that no pesky aliens or UFOs have been spotted in the area since.
The town has maintained its quintessential French look, refusing to cave in to tacky tourism. No alien gift shops or UFO tours are visible in the area, with the French deciding to leave that task to Roswell, New Mexico.

Mysterious 'Dark Energy' May Not Exist, Study Claims
Mysterious 'Dark Energy' May Not Exist, Study Claims
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
This image of the Type Ia supernova remnant 0509-67.5 was made using data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory. Analyses of Type Ia supernovas’ motion through space has led most cosmologists to conclude that the universe’s expansion is accelerating, driven by a mysterious force called dark energy.

The universe may not be expanding at an accelerating rate after all, meaning that mysterious "dark energy" might not actually exist, according to a new study.
This is quite the claim. In 2011, three cosmologists from two research teams won the Nobel Prize in physics for independently showing that distant Type Ia supernovas, which are a kind of exploding star, are moving away from Earth faster than nearby ones are.
These surprising results, which were published in the late 1990s, strongly suggested that some strange force must be spreading space-time apart. If no such force exists, the reasoning goes, then the expansion of the universe that began with the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago should not be accelerating. Instead, it should be decreasing, slowed by the collective gravitational pull of all the galaxies, black holes and other matter in the cosmos. [Dark Energy: The Mystery Explained (Infographic)]
This hypothetical dispersive force came to be known as dark energy, because astronomers didn't really know what it was (and still don't, as a matter of fact).
But the new study, which was published online Friday (Oct. 21) in the journal Scientific Reports, questions this Nobel Prize-winning conclusion. Lead author J.T. Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and his colleagues analyzed 740 Type Ia supernovas using a different theoretical framework than the one that the two research teams employed in the 1990s. (The previous work also looked at just 70 or so Type Ia supernovas, Nielsen's team pointed out.)
The new analysis found just "marginal evidence" for the concept of dark energy and accelerating expansion.
"The evidence for accelerated expansion is, at most, what physicists call '3 sigma.' This is far short of the 5-sigma standard required to claim a discovery of fundamental significance," co-author Subir Sarkar, of Oxford University in England, said in a statement.
"So it is quite possible that we are being misled, and that the apparent manifestation of dark energy is a consequence of analyzing the data in an oversimplified theoretical model — one that was in fact constructed in the 1930s, long before there was any real data," Sarkar added.
Sarkar acknowledged that "a lot of work will be necessary to convince the physics community" that this latter possibility could actually reflect reality. This appraisal seems to be accurate; there has indeed been pushback from other astronomers.
One skeptic is Paul Sutter, an astrophysicist at The Ohio State University (and a contributor to Space.com's "Expert Voices" section). For starters, Sutter thinks that Nielsen et al. shouldn't be so dismissive of the statistical link that they found.
"I don't know, 3 sigma is pretty great to me," he told Space.com. "Their paper very clearly points to a universe with dark energy."
While Sutter agreed with Sarkar that a 3-sigma detection is not entirely convincing by itself, he stressed that the motion of Type Ia supernovas is far from the only evidence supporting the existence of dark energy. Sutter cited, among other things, oscillations in the cosmic microwave background (the ancient light left over from the Big Bang); observations of large-scale structure in the universe; and "baryon acoustic oscillations," which are odd fluctuations in the density of matter.
"If we had a universe with no dark energy, those features would have disappeared long ago," Sutter said. "We have scads of evidence — multiple and independent probes — that all point to a universe with dark energy. And the authors [of the new study] try to just kind of hand wave this stuff away."
Sutter said that the new paper should help scientists better understand how to use supernova data to get a better handle on dark energy. But he thinks the authors made an unwarranted leap in suggesting that, as Sarkar put it, "a key pillar of the standard cosmological model is rather shaky."
"If you took out the strong claims that the authors are trying to make, it's an interesting nuts-and-bolts methodology paper," Sutter said. "But it doesn't really even begin to rock the foundations of modern cosmology."
On Sunday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk took to Reddit to answer further questions about the forecasted mission to Mars. The first manned mission to Mars will have just “about a dozen people.” Musk has previously said that the likelihood of death on the first mission will be “very high,” which means that these twelve souls, if they make it to the Red Planet, will become legitimate heroes.
Musk’s Ask Me Anything took place within the SpaceX subreddit, so many of the responses were fairly technical. He spent about an hour answering questions; there were 5,371 comments, 15 of which came from Musk himself. With a few of his responses, however, we can glean details about the early missions, the first settlers’ roles, and the habitations.
A rendering of the Interplanetary Transport System as it approaches Mars.
To start, Musk said that the first missions “will be heavily weighted towards cargo.” It’s part of his four-step program to colonize: The first two steps are unmanned, logistical missions to perfect landing, test water extraction, and drop off equipment. But the first manned mission, he said, would have “about a dozen people.” (In 2012, Musk said that the first manned mission would have fewer than 10 people; it would seem that he’s changed his mind.) They will travel “with equipment to build rudimentary base, and complete the propellant plant.” These audacious experts will be the first-ever interplanetary humans, and they’ll make the voyage knowing that odds of death are high. Their priority will be to “build out and troubleshoot the propellant plant and Mars Base Alpha power system.”
And these dozen people will need to be ready to die. “I think the first trips to Mars are going to be really, very dangerous,” he said at the International Astronautical Conference (IAC) in September. “The risk of fatality will be high. There is just no way around it. It would basically be, ‘Are you prepared to die?’ Then, if that’s OK, then you’re a candidate for going.” It’ll be like The Right Stuff, except even more daring. And, no matter what happens, it’s safe to assume that this baker’s dozen will be deified back on Earth.
Later missions, after the proto-colony is established, will be crewed with about a hundred legitimate settlers. Moving forward, SpaceX will seek to “double the number of flights with each Earth-Mars orbital rendezvous, which is every 26 months, until the city can grow by itself,” Musk wrote. At the IAC, when he outlined the journey’s specifics, Musk said that passengers onboard would be treated to luxurious living, such that make the approximately 80-day trip more pleasant.
“It has to be fun or exciting. It can’t be cramped or boring,” he said. The colonists’ living space, then, will include zero-gravity games, a restaurant, and movies. “Will aim to release details of the habitation section when we have actual live mockups. Maybe in a year or two,” he wrote.
SpaceX has a lot of ground to cover before it begins populating the red soil: It hopes to begin colonization within a decade, but, on Reddit, Musk admitted that SpaceX has yet to master most phases of the project — excluding, perhaps, the “starting engines.” Let’s hope that fewer than 10 years is enough time for SpaceX engineers to master the rest of the process. It’s just rocket science, after all.
Surprise! Cold Gas 'Halos' Found Around Brightest Objects in Universe
Surprise! Cold Gas 'Halos' Found Around Brightest Objects in Universe
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
Gas halos around distant galaxies are colder and more common than previously believed, a new study suggests. The finding could force astronomers to rethink some of their theories about galaxy formation.
Researchers examined 19 quasars, or galaxies with very active supermassive black holes at their centers, using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile. You can see a video of the quasar halos here. Quasar black holes eat huge amounts of nearby material, such as gas and stars, very quickly, causing the galaxy centers to blast out large amounts of radiation. This makes quasars the most luminous objects in the universe.
Previous studies had found that about 10 percent of all quasars have halos, which are made of gas from the intergalactic medium and extend up to 300,000 light-years from the quasars' cores. So the astronomers were surprised to find halos around all 19 of their study objects. [Distant Quasar Lights Up Galactic Halo (Video)]
"It is still too early to say if this is due to our new observational technique or if there is something peculiar about the quasars in our sample," study lead author Elena Borisova, an astrophysics professor at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, said in a statement, referring to the group's use of a relatively new instrument on the VLT called MUSE (Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer).

"So there is still a lot to learn; we are just at the beginning of a new era of discoveries," Borisova added.
The survey held another surprise as well: The newly studied halos have temperatures of around 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit (10,000 degrees Celsius).
"This revelation is in strong disagreement with currently accepted models of the structure and formation of galaxies, which suggest that gas in such close proximity to galaxies should have temperatures upwards of a million degrees [Celsius; 1.8 million degrees F]," European Southern Observatory representatives said in the same statement.
A paper based on the research will appear in the Astrophysical Journal.
UFO Crashes In Saudi Arabia After Being Hit With Surface To Air Missile
UFO Crashes In Saudi Arabia After Being Hit With Surface To Air Missile
A tremendous noise was heard in the sky on October 19, Wednesday, after evening prayers in Saudi Arabia. Then the sighting of an intense, large light followed. It was heading from the west over a region located in the east of Riyadh.
Residents did not think it was a meteor because it didn’t look like it. They said that it was a blue, green shooting out green flashes. A 40-year-old witness, who introduced himself as Khalid, stated that they were baffled as no one has ever seen anything like it.
Before going south toward the Yemeni desert, the UFO changed course multiple times. A rebel shot the UFO using a low altitude surface to air missile system with a passive infrared homing guidance and high explosive warhead. In contrast to the general idea of UFOs, which typically so advanced that any sophisticated weapons on Earth would find a hard time to take them down, this particular UFO was taken down with just a single shot.
The location of the crash site was immediately determined. A Saudi helicopter revealed an aerial photograph along with the story and embedded location. The location is a dessert located about 220 miles north and slightly east of Al Mukalla. However, it is not determined on what happen to the alien in the photo.
No report about the incident in the west, but it was witnessed as far as Kuwait. Residents in the region where the object was reportedly heading claimed they heard an explosion and felt a tremor as if something had crashed.
The Saudi government has allegedly sealed the area, which borders Yemen, but has not released information regarding the alleged crash site. Houthi rebels have been in rebellion against the Yemen government that started in 2015. Rebel sources claimed one of their men fired at the UFO using a shoulder type 9K-32 Strelka and brought down the unknown aerial thing.
