Chinese taikonauten terug op aarde na lange ruimtereis
Chinese taikonauten terug op aarde na lange ruimtereis
Tim Kraaijvanger
De Shenzhou-11 taikonauten Jing Haipeng en Chen Dong zijn terug op aarde. Dit meldt het Chinese staatsmedium Xinhua.
De capsule landde vanochtend om 07:15 uur Nederlandse tijd in het noorden van China in Binnen-Mongolië, een autonome regio grenzend aan Mongolië en Rusland. De landing van de SHenzhou-11 was live te volgen via Periscope. Voor China – een land waar veel achter gesloten deuren plaatsvindt – is dat zeer bijzonder.
Shenzhou-11 was de langste bemande Chinese ruimtevlucht ooit. Haipeng en Dong verbleven dertig dagen buiten de aardse atmosfeer in het ruimtelab Tiangong-2. “Als de plannen voor de Tiangong-2 succesvol zijn, komt China op het niveau dat alleen de VS en Rusland hebben bereikt: een bemand ruimtelaboratorium,” vertelt natuurkundige Merlin Kole aan Scientias.nl. Hij was in september aanwezig bij de lancering van de Tiangong-2. “Het bouwen van een eigen station betekent dat China qua ruimtevaart op hetzelfde niveau zit als de VS en Rusland en dat in een zeer korte tijd heeft weten te bereiken. Van daaruit zullen de Chinezen waarschijnlijk de hoge ambities doorzetten en wellicht de VS inhalen.” China hoopt in 2022 een permanent ruimtestation in een baan om de aarde te hebben, waardoor het land de rol van het ISS kan overnemen.
Hoe gaat het met de taikonauten? Het is nog onduidelijk hoe het met de taikonauten is. Op Twitter gaan geruchten rond dat er mogelijk iets aan de hand is met met taikonaut Chen Dong, maar het Chinese staatsmedium Xinhua meldt dat de astronauten er goed aan toe zijn. Toch is het opmerkelijk dat er nog geen citaat het wereldwijde web op is geslingerd, terwijl de taikonauten tijdens het verschijnen van dit artikel al drie uur op aarde zijn.
Wetenschappers hebben veel microfossielen aangetroffen in drie miljard jaar oude Australische stenen. De vondst van deze microfossielen laat zien dat leven in de bodem ouder is dan we denken.
“Je hebt een microscoop nodig om deze piepkleine fossielen te zien”, zegt paleontoloog Gregory Retallack van de universiteit van Oregon. 4,6 miljard jaar geleden is de aarde ontstaan in stofschijf rondom de zon. “Als we tweederde terug gaan in de geschiedenis van de aarde was er al volop leven aanwezig in de aardse bodem.”
Rijk microbioom De onderzoekers hebben een microbioom ontdekt met minimaal vijf verschillende microfossielen. Deze microfossielen verschillen onderling van elkaar als het gaat om grootte, vorm en isotopische samenstelling.
De grootste microfossielen zijn spindelvormige, holle structuren gevormd door schimmelachtige straalzwammen (Actinobacteria). Deze symbiotische bacteriën leven vandaag de dag bijvoorbeeld in de knolletjes aan de wortels van elzen. Zij zorgen ervoor dat deze loofboom voldoende stikstof krijgt. De karakteristieke aardse geur van tuingrond wordt ook veroorzaakt door deze straalzwam.
Daarnaast zijn er bolvormige fossielen aangetroffen die lijken op paarse zwavelbacteriën.
Geen verdwaalde cellen “Met een dichtheid van meer dan duizend cellen per kubieke millimeter vormden de microfossielen toentertijd al een goed functionerend ecosysteem”, vervolgt Retallack. “Het zijn dus niet een paar verdwaalde cellen.” Volgens de onderzoeker is er bewijs dat leven in de grond een belangrijke rol speelde in de cyclus van koolstof, fosfor, zwavel en stikstof.
Ging leven eerder van zee naar land? De vondst is belangrijk, omdat veel onderzoekers denken dat het leven 3,7 miljard jaar geleden ontstond in de vorm van cyanobacteriën. Zij zijn verantwoordelijk voor de vorming van stromatolieten. Eerder dit jaar werden op Groenland fossiele stromatolieten gevonden met een recordouderdom van 3,7 miljard jaar, waardoor de datum waarop het leven op aarde verscheen 200 miljoen jaar opschoof.
Onderzoekers denken dat het leven vanuit de zee naar het land verspreidde, maar dat dit wel lang duurde. “Oceanen waren broedplaatsen van leven, terwijl het op land nog een droge bedoening was”, schreef geobioloog Hope Jahren eerder dit jaar. “Er is namelijk geen duidelijk bewijs dat leven op het vasteland voorkwam.” Dit bewijs is er nu dan eindelijk, schrijven de onderzoekers van de universiteit van Oregon.
Buitenaards leven Opvallend genoeg lijken de zoutafzettingen en de microfossielen op structuren die Marsrover Curiosity op Mars heeft gevonden. Retallack: “Misschien kunnen we deze fossielen gebruiken om microscopisch leven op andere planeten te identificeren.”

Prachtig bewaard gebleven mummie ontdekt in Egypte
Prachtig bewaard gebleven mummie ontdekt in Egypte
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De tand des tijds lijkt nauwelijks grip te hebben gekregen op deze mummie en de rijkversierde sarcofaag waarin deze ter ruste werd gelegd.
Spaanse archeologen ontdekten de tombe met daarin de mummie nabij een tempel die stamt uit de tijd van farao Toetmosis III. Deze farao regeerde tussen 1479 en 1425 voor Christus over Egypte. De tombe stamt niet uit de tijd van farao Toetmosis, maar is iets jonger. Onderzoekers schatten dat deze uit het begin van de Derde Tussenperiode (ongeveer 1070 tot 712 voor Christus) stamt.
In de tombe stuitten de onderzoekers op een prachtige, rijkversierde sarcofaag. En in die sarcofaag bevindt zich een mummie. Waarschijnlijk gaat het om de resten van een edelman – Amenrenef genaamd – die werkzaam was aan het koninklijk hof.
De sarcofaag.

De mummie is versierd met allerlei symbolen die de edelman waarschijnlijk moesten beschermen. Zo staan de godinnen Isis en Nephthys en de vier zonen van Horus afgebeeld.
De mummie.

Onderzoekers gaan de mummie en sarcofaag nader bestuderen. En uiteindelijk hopen ze zo meer zekerheid te krijgen over de identiteit van de overledene en de rituele gebruiken uit die tijd.
Why Martian Settlers Will Eat Potatoes, Insects, Algae and Mushrooms
Why Martian Settlers Will Eat Potatoes, Insects, Algae and Mushrooms
Written by ANDREW RADER
From the bottom of our gravity well on the Earth’s surface, getting anything into space is difficult and expensive, and that's even more true for travel to Mars.
On the International Space Station, for example, although some air and water is recycled, astronauts are ultimately reliant on Earth for everything. Given the challenges of distance, time, and energy required for the transit, this will have to change for Mars. 3D printing will provide some degree of self-sustenance (especially if we use local building materials where possible), but bulk consumables would have to be transported or generated in situ.
Luckily, Mars has both water in the form of ice, and a thin but useful atmosphere of carbon dioxide that can be processed into oxygen, and methane to power vehicles or rockets.
Being able to produce our own water and oxygen on Mars will be essential to sustaining human life there, but that's only about half the solution (and half the mass). We'd need to send around 2,000 pounds of food per Martian settler per year—and that assumes entirely freeze-dried food, which may not be the healthiest or most palatable option. A Martian settlement of six people would depend on a grocery run of more than fifteen Curiosity Rovers’ worth of dry food every 26-month Earth-to-Mars launch window.
Any food we can grow on Mars is food we don’t have to ship from Earth. Since we can get water there, we want to focus any Martian agricultural ventures on high-density bulk calories, high nutrition, or fresh morale-boosting foods that are easy to grow in a small space, while we continue to ship freeze-dried foods and vitamins from Earth.
Livestock is mostly out of the question, except perhaps if the animals are very small. Crickets are one of the best options. They eat discarded plant matter, are easy to raise in small spaces in a matter of weeks, and use hardly any water. They’re healthier than beef, with more protein, and include omega-3s, vitamins like iron and magnesium, and less fat.
Other small animals like snails could be on the menu. They may have been one of the first animals cultivated by humans for food. Aquaculture of mussels, crustaceans, and spirulina blue-green algae might round out a Martian diet.
What about plants and fungi? Mushrooms are packed with vitamins and grow without the need for light. As featured in The Martian, potatoes are also a good choice, and they’ve even been grown in simulated Martian soil in experiments in a greenhouse on Earth. They’re packed with vitamins, and contain some protein. You could live on them exclusively for a year or more, although you’d eventually suffer from a lack of fats, vitamins A and D, and B-12.
Even so, potatoes could contribute the bulk calories to a diet, as they have in many cultures on Earth throughout history. Sprinkle a few crickets on top of your potato pancakes and pop a vitamin pill and you’ve got a pretty balanced diet.
Or take a page from the 19th century Irish and combine potatoes with milk: in this case, dried milk shipped from Earth, preferably the full fat variety. By a strange quirk, potatoes and milk balance each other remarkably well, each providing the nutrients that the other lacks and forming about the best two-food diet a Martian settler could ask for.
Of course, ideally you’re rounding it out with at least a few other foods, if for nothing else than to avoid the monotony of endless cream of potato soup.
A Mars settlement will be dependent on Earth for the foreseeable future, but anything we can do to reduce the supplies we’d have to send brings it that much closer to reality. Changing the way we eat and learning how to grow our own food is going to be a big part of the solution.
Aerospace engineer Andrew Rader is a competitor in the Mars Generation’s annual Potato Challenge, held Thursday Nov. 17, to raise awareness and scholarship funding for the future of Science and Space Education. His latest kid’s science book, Mars Rover Rescue, is on Kickstarter at www.rover-rescue.com.
If humanity ever wants to truly explore the outer reaches of our solar system or travel to other stars, we’re going to have to build a better engine for our spacecraft. In fact, this engine will have to be so good that it will be capable of generating thrust without consuming propellant. That’s right: If we ever want a four-hour trip to the moon or a two-month trip to Mars, we’re going to need a rocket engine that doesn’t need rocket fuel.
This is the idea behind the radio frequency resonant cavity thruster—otherwise known as EmDrive—a theoretical reactionless engine powered by turning electricity into microwaves and bouncing them around a closed metal funnel.
The EmDrive has been dismissed as “impossible” on more than one occasion because it appears to violate Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. But if a leaked NASA paper posted online last Saturday is to be believed, then not only are NASA scientists pursuing an EmDrive, but they actually made one that works.
As detailed in the paper, a team of NASA physicists led by Harold “Sonny” White and Paul March—both leading figures in exotic propulsion systems—was able to generate thrust in a “tapered RF test article” (read: EmDrive prototype) during a series of tests at NASA’s Eagleworks Labs at Johnson Space Center in the fall of 2015.
In essence, the NASA EmDrive in the paper consists of a closed copper cone, the inside of which is being bombarded with microwaves. To test the EmDrive, the researchers powered it with 40, 60, and 80 watts and found that it generated up to 58, 128, and 119 micronewtons of thrust, respectively. Given that this “anomaly” was still observed by White and his colleagues after accounting for error, this suggests that the results of the experiment show an EmDrive is indeed possible.
Based on these results, the researchers estimated that their contraption would be capable of generating approximately 1.2 millinewtons of thrust per kilowatt were they to scale up the power input. To put this in perspective, the Hall thruster—one of the most powerful in development and powered by ejecting plasma—generates about 60 millinewtons of thrust per kilowatt.

“The issue involved here is whether the experiment is seeing something real or not,” Jim Woodward, a physicist at California State-Fullerton, told Motherboard. “I know Paul [March] does clean work and to be honest, I suspect there may really be something there. But the result they're seeing can't actually be explained in terms of the theory they're proposing. So the question is: what is causing it?”
Per Newton, if you want to propel a rocket through space, you’re going to have to eject some material in the opposite direction of the rocket’s travel. But an EmDrive appears to generate a reaction without any action—so what gives?
A number of theories have been floated attempting to explain this ostensible violation of the bedrock of physics. White has been a proponent of the quantum vacuum explanation, which posits that the EmDrive is able to generate thrust by acting on virtual particle pairs that are generated by fluctuations in the quantum vacuum (in this theory, these vacuum fluctuations are created by the electromagnetic field generated by the EmDrive). In essence, the microwaves would be ‘pushing off’ of these virtual particles within the EmDrive cavity to generate the thrust that has been observed by White and his colleagues in EmDrive experiments.
Another leading explanation is that the EmDrive’s thrust is generated by radiation pressure, a position held by its inventor Roger Shawyer. On this view, when the microwave radiation enters the copper cavity, the radiation pushes against the walls of the EmDrive and generates thrust.
Yet, according to Woodward, both of these theories are unlikely to be correct for a simple reason: Physics doesn’t allow them.
By way of example, Woodward likened explaining the results seen at NASA purely in terms of microwave pressure to arguing that you can accelerate a car by getting in the driver’s seat and pushing on the windshield.
“Can any disposition of microwaves inside the cavity produce thrust?” said Woodward. “There's a simple answer to that question: No, it cannot. Conservation of momentum dictates that any purely electromagnetic system that is enclosed cannot produce thrust. This is for both quantum theory and classical electrodynamics. It's physically impossible.”
This is what led White to his quantum-vacuum theory: If the microwaves can’t push against the inside walls in the copper cone to generate thrust, then they must be pushing off of something else within the cone—like virtual particle/anti-particle pairs that exist in the quantum vacuum. The problem is that while the existence of the quantum vacuum has been experimentally proven to exist, physicists are in pretty strong agreement that it can’t be used as a medium to generate thrust.
Although White’s quantum vacuum theory is referenced as the theoretical explanation of the thrust observed in both the recently leaked NASA paper and the first NASA EmDrive paper from 2014, it has been debunked time and time again by leading physicists within the community.
EmDrive inventor Roger Shawyer demonstrates why he thinks radiation pressure explains the EmDrive thrust
“A theoretical construct related to the quantum vacuum is nonsense,” said Woodward. “There is no experimental evidence that suggests anything remotely like [White’s theory] is a reasonable way to view the vacuum. It's something that no serious quantum field theorist takes seriously as far as I know.”
Instead, Woodward thinks that the results of NASA’s EmDrive experiments can be explained without having to overturn the basic laws of physics.
“The Mach effect is the only possible way to explain this,” said Woodward. “If they are looking at a real anomalous signal, and you want to try to explain it with physics that is not nonsense, then that seems to be the only way to approach this.”
As the first person to theorize about Mach effects in 1990, Woodward should know. According to Woodward’s Mach effect theory, when a body of mass is accelerated, some of the force applied to that body does not result in kinetic energy but is stored as potential energy in the body. While the acceleration is changing the internal energy of the body changes as well, which manifests itself as a change in the resting mass of that body.
The accelerating body is essentially being squished between the force being applied in the direction of its acceleration and the pushback from the rest of the material in the universe via a gravitational field. These two oppositional forces change the internal energy of the accelerating body and no physical laws are being broken: Momentum is conserved, but small amounts of it are being temporarily “stored” in the accelerating body.
According to Woodward, this mass fluctuation effect could account for the thrust observed at the NASA Eagleworks lab. If the microwaves propagating in the EmDrive cone are applying force to the material that the cone is made of, then you might explain the thrust generated this way by the Mach effect outlined by Woodward.
Woodward has spent the last two decades building devices which have successfully demonstrated the Mach effect, although his theory is still far from mainstream within the physics community. Still, it is gaining ground as more successful experiments confirm his theory. March, for one, has worked with Woodward on a number of successful Mach effect experiments over the last decade, and, at September’s Exotic Propulsion conference in Estes Park, Colorado, three physicists besides Woodward claimed to have experimentally reproduced Woodward’s Mach effect results.
“In my view, it’s the only physics that I know and trust to not involve wishful thinking and magical fields,” said Woodward.
For now, all we know is that the paper leaked on Saturday is in fact legitimate—it has been peer reviewed and accepted for publication in the AIAA’s Journal of Propulsion and Power, where it is slated to appear in the December issue. What is unclear is how much the peer-reviewed version will have changed from the early release version leaked online.
According to Woodward, who saw a copy of the paper shortly after it had been accepted for peer review, the main difference between the accepted copy and the leaked early release is that the latter has way more theory trying to explain the results. Supposedly the AIAA would only accept the paper if White and his colleagues ditched the quantum vacuum theory and just published the results of their research without trying to explain it.
What remains to be seen is whether others can use Woodward’s Mach effect theory to reproduce the results seen in the NASA Eagleworks lab and thereby offer a compelling explanation for what White and his colleagues observed.
“Absent a convincing physical explanation that doesn't fly in the face of well-known principles of physics, you should hold in abeyance any judgment as to whether or not [the NASA results are] real,” said Woodward. “This stuff is much harder to do and get right than almost anybody who has not actually been in the trenches doing it really appreciates. The odds against anything being real in this business are very high.”
Expert: Brandstofvrije EmDrive ‘is niet onmogelijk’, stelt voor raadsels
Expert: Brandstofvrije EmDrive ‘is niet onmogelijk’, stelt voor raadsels
Er is de laatste tijd veel te doen rond de EmDrive, een brandstofvrije motor die in strijd lijkt te zijn met de natuurkundige wetten.
Deze ‘onmogelijke’ motor zou mensen in slechts 10 weken tijd naar Mars kunnen brengen.
Hoewel velen twijfelen of de EmDrive echt kan werken, zeggen experts dat de motor niet onmogelijk is, al begrijpen ze niet goed hoe het apparaat precies werkt.
Het zou allemaal draaien om het Mach-effect, schrijft Motherboard. “Waar het hier om gaat is of er tijdens de experimenten echt iets gebeurt of niet,” zei natuurkundige Jim Woodward.
Iets op het spoor
“Ik ken Paul March [één van de mensen die onderzoek doet naar de EmDrive] en hij doet goed werk, dus ik denk dat ze echt iets op het spoor zijn,” vervolgde hij.
“De resultaten kunnen echter niet worden verklaard aan de hand van de theorie die ze hebben opgesteld,” legde hij uit. “De vraag is dus: wat veroorzaakt de aandrijving?”
Volgens Woodward kunnen microgolven in een vacuüm geen stuwkracht genereren. Dat is fysiek onmogelijk, aldus de natuurkundige.
Verklaard
Hij zegt dat de werking van de ogenschijnlijk onmogelijke EmDrive kan worden verklaard door het Mach-effect, zonder daarbij de natuurkundige wetten te overtreden.
Woodward theoretiseert dat een deel van de kracht die wordt uitgeoefend op een accelererende massa wordt opgeslagen als potentiële energie.
Hierdoor ontstaan fluctuaties in de rustende massa van het object en dit effect kan de stuwkracht genereren die tijdens experimenten is waargenomen.
Naar verluidt werken een aantal groepen momenteel met de technologie, waaronder de Eagleworks Laboratories van de NASA.
Omdat we de afgelopen dagen te maken hadden met een zogenaamde supermaan, waren er meer dan ooit telescopen die kant op gericht.
En daarom zijn er diverse mensen die zonder enige twijfel vreemde ruimteschepen boven het maanoppervlak hebben weten vast te leggen.
Dat er ruimteschepen op de maan waren, zoveel is zeker. Wat niet zeker is, is de oorsprong van deze UFO’s. Want dat zijn het tot op dit moment, aangezien niemand er nog in is geslaagd om de objecten te identificeren.
Er zijn verschillende opnames beschikbaar en hier volgt de eerste:
Interessante waarneming, beide ufo's draaien om hun eigen as, dit is iets wat bij andere serieuze waarnemingen ook het geval is.
Een nog mooiere opname:
Dan worden er vervolgens opnames gemaakt van wat waarschijnlijk dezelfde UFO is, maar dan net boven het maanoppervlak.
Je kunt zien dat het object over het oppervlak van de maan vliegt, omdat het ook een schaduw werpt en als je goed kijkt, dan is zelfs te zien dat er een soort driehoek bovenop de UFO zit.
Vergeleken met het maanoppervlak heeft deze UFO een grootte van ergens tussen de twee en vijf kilometer, dus geen kleine jongen.
Hier volgen de bewegende beelden van dit object:
Ongetwijfeld zal niemand in Den Haag het de moeite waard vinden om hier vragen over te stellen. Daar houden ze zich liever bezig met wat DENK nu weer niet allemaal heeft bedacht.
Taiwan School System Puts UFO Sightings Daily Into Their Textbooks, Nov 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Taiwan School System Puts UFO Sightings Daily Into Their Textbooks, Nov 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Now, this is getting a bit strange. I have taught Jerry English since he was 4 years old, and sadly when he hit junior high, his family moved back to south of Taiwan to be closer to other family. Today I received a text message from his mom with a photo (above) from his junior high textbook. The photo just blew my mind. To get into the educational systems textbooks is both odd and amazing. Its nice that the Taiwan Educational system included such important information into the textbooks, so that students can learn a diverse menu of subjects. I do have two degrees in education, BA in elementary education and a Masters in Counselling education, so it personally feels great to be taken seriously by the school system in my own country.

UFO Over Casino At Laughlin, Nevada Nov 13, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Over Casino At Laughlin, Nevada Nov 13, 2016, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: November 13, 2016 Location of sighting: Laughlin, Nevada, USA News source: MUFON #80486 I really like this witness account. It highly detailed and even includes a second witness account with it. This gives us a better perspective of what happened and what they saw. Nevada is a lower populated state, so UFOs will feel more comfortable to explore the area than say New York. With a total population of 7,323 its a perfect location to see a UFO more often than other locations. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
We observed two dark objects pass over Riverside Casino as it was caught in lights shining up illuminating front of building. Following the StarWorks UFO conference, Witness #2 (or W2) and I walked along the Colorado river front from the Aquarius Resort upriver to the Highway 163 bridge, along the river walk in front of the Laughlin casinos. We walked across the bridge and noticed the beautifully lit Riverfront casino and hotel. We were taking pictures of the scenery from the Arizona side of the river when W2 first noticed the object. She first called my attention to the first object as we were looking across river toward casino with a "what's that?" and pointed toward the casino. I had been looking down at my iPhone, changing the settings on my camera app. I quickly looked up and saw a fleeting glimpse of the first object as it moved out of light beam. We watched for a few moments more - about 10 seconds to a minute - when she said, "There's another one". At first I almost couldn't see it. Then I noticed same type of shape as the first one. Again, it was a fleeting glimpse, no more than a second or two. Both objects were shadowy and indistinct, roughly crescent, boomerang or chevron shaped. I could only see the leading edge clearly, which was lighter in color and caught the hotel lights. They traveled smoothly from N to S, over the Riverfront casino building, passing through the light beam. Length of crescent was approximately half fingernail width at arm's length. There was no sound associated with the objects. Second one moved same way as first, illuminated by hotel lights projecting up. It appeared to be passing directly over the building at approximately half-again the bldg height. (Using the Theodolite app on my iPhone, I measured it to be about 10 degrees elevation from horizontal). I estimate the speed to be about twice to four times walking speed. We observed each object for about one to two seconds and lost sight of each when it passed out of hotel light beam. We talked about it for a few moments, trying to decide what it was. We waited about five to ten more minutes for another of the objects to appear. I had my iPhone camera set to video with maximum zoom, but unfortunately we didn't see any more of the objects. We gave up and decided to walk back across the bridge toward the Nevada side of the river. We decided as we were walking back across the bridge, that we would each write down our descriptions of the sighting before we discussed it further. We jotted quick notes on the sighting as we ate dinner in the Mexican restaurant across the street from the Riverfront Casino. This is my description from my notes that night.
Witness 2 Description (copied from her notes) Observed two objects passing over the Riverfront Hotel.
At the time of the sighting, we were about a half mile from the hotels standing on the sidewalk along St. hwy 163 near a stoplight just across the river on the Arizona side. We stopped to take photos of where we were staying. After the StarworksUSA conference ended, around 5pm, W1 and I took a walk along the river walkway. The moon was full and the temperature was in the 50's. I wanted to see the small helicopter that was landed (displayed) along the river walk. The helicopter was not there but we decided to keep walking. The path led to the State Hwy 163 bridge over the Colorado river and we decided to walk across it. On the bridge we passed a man on a bicycle who appeared to be homeless. After we crossed the bridge I turned around and noticed the nice view of the hotels, we stopped walking and took pictures. Then I noticed something moving above the Riverside hotel/casino in the light and pointed it out to W1. He saw it as well. I saw a dark, curved boomerang shaped object. What appeared to be the back underside was clearly defined but I could not make out the far side of the object against the dark sky. The lights from the top of the hotel lit the underside and front edge as it moved down river. The edge was well defined and easy to see. Then as we watched, another one appeared a bit lower and moved in the same manner. There were no lights or sound. We observed a helicopter landing at the airport about 2 miles away, 10 minutes prior, and also saw two shooting stars after seeing the objects. We later observed other air traffic but nothing was as low as what we saw. Venus was also in the sky. Note: There was a man in the riverside park below us walking his large dog, where we stopped to take photos. He may have seen the objects as well.

UFO Over Casino At Laughlin, Nevada Nov 13, 2016, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: November 13, 2016 Location of sighting: Laughlin, Nevada, USA News source: MUFON #80486 I really like this witness account. It highly detailed and even includes a second witness account with it. This gives us a better perspective of what happened and what they saw. Nevada is a lower populated state, so UFOs will feel more comfortable to explore the area than say New York. With a total population of 7,323 its a perfect location to see a UFO more often than other locations. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
We observed two dark objects pass over Riverside Casino as it was caught in lights shining up illuminating front of building. Following the StarWorks UFO conference, Witness #2 (or W2) and I walked along the Colorado river front from the Aquarius Resort upriver to the Highway 163 bridge, along the river walk in front of the Laughlin casinos. We walked across the bridge and noticed the beautifully lit Riverfront casino and hotel. We were taking pictures of the scenery from the Arizona side of the river when W2 first noticed the object. She first called my attention to the first object as we were looking across river toward casino with a "what's that?" and pointed toward the casino. I had been looking down at my iPhone, changing the settings on my camera app. I quickly looked up and saw a fleeting glimpse of the first object as it moved out of light beam. We watched for a few moments more - about 10 seconds to a minute - when she said, "There's another one". At first I almost couldn't see it. Then I noticed same type of shape as the first one. Again, it was a fleeting glimpse, no more than a second or two. Both objects were shadowy and indistinct, roughly crescent, boomerang or chevron shaped. I could only see the leading edge clearly, which was lighter in color and caught the hotel lights. They traveled smoothly from N to S, over the Riverfront casino building, passing through the light beam. Length of crescent was approximately half fingernail width at arm's length. There was no sound associated with the objects. Second one moved same way as first, illuminated by hotel lights projecting up. It appeared to be passing directly over the building at approximately half-again the bldg height. (Using the Theodolite app on my iPhone, I measured it to be about 10 degrees elevation from horizontal). I estimate the speed to be about twice to four times walking speed. We observed each object for about one to two seconds and lost sight of each when it passed out of hotel light beam. We talked about it for a few moments, trying to decide what it was. We waited about five to ten more minutes for another of the objects to appear. I had my iPhone camera set to video with maximum zoom, but unfortunately we didn't see any more of the objects. We gave up and decided to walk back across the bridge toward the Nevada side of the river. We decided as we were walking back across the bridge, that we would each write down our descriptions of the sighting before we discussed it further. We jotted quick notes on the sighting as we ate dinner in the Mexican restaurant across the street from the Riverfront Casino. This is my description from my notes that night.
Witness 2 Description (copied from her notes) Observed two objects passing over the Riverfront Hotel.
At the time of the sighting, we were about a half mile from the hotels standing on the sidewalk along St. hwy 163 near a stoplight just across the river on the Arizona side. We stopped to take photos of where we were staying. After the StarworksUSA conference ended, around 5pm, W1 and I took a walk along the river walkway. The moon was full and the temperature was in the 50's. I wanted to see the small helicopter that was landed (displayed) along the river walk. The helicopter was not there but we decided to keep walking. The path led to the State Hwy 163 bridge over the Colorado river and we decided to walk across it. On the bridge we passed a man on a bicycle who appeared to be homeless. After we crossed the bridge I turned around and noticed the nice view of the hotels, we stopped walking and took pictures. Then I noticed something moving above the Riverside hotel/casino in the light and pointed it out to W1. He saw it as well. I saw a dark, curved boomerang shaped object. What appeared to be the back underside was clearly defined but I could not make out the far side of the object against the dark sky. The lights from the top of the hotel lit the underside and front edge as it moved down river. The edge was well defined and easy to see. Then as we watched, another one appeared a bit lower and moved in the same manner. There were no lights or sound. We observed a helicopter landing at the airport about 2 miles away, 10 minutes prior, and also saw two shooting stars after seeing the objects. We later observed other air traffic but nothing was as low as what we saw. Venus was also in the sky. Note: There was a man in the riverside park below us walking his large dog, where we stopped to take photos. He may have seen the objects as well.
The galaxy Messier 77 is a lot like our Milky Way. Both are what’s known as barred spiral galaxies, meaning massive groups of stars are arranged in huge arms extending like spirals from the center. And at the center of both galaxies is a supermassive black hole a million or even a billion times more massive than the Sun.
The center of Messier 77 is what’s known as an active galactic nucleus. This means that the accretion disk — the accumulation of cold gas and other matter around the black hole — is the source of much higher than expected emissions from across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. These AGN are hugely useful in searching for ever more distant objects in the cosmos. Some of these AGN are hidden inside thick, donut-shaped clumps of gas known as a torus. Actually, it’s very possible that all AGN have a torus around them, but only some are hidden relative to our Earthbound perspective.
“We know from various observations that some AGN are hidden by colder dust clouds from our point of view on earth,” Jack Gallimore, an astrophysicist at Bucknell University, told Inverse. “The unifying model arose that all AGN are surrounded by a donut of cold gas. If the donut is viewed from the side, we see a ‘Type 2,’ or hidden, AGN. If our view looks down the hole, we see a ‘Type 1’ AGN, that is, we see the accretion disk directly.”
These donuts of cold gas provide a natural cloak for supermassive black holes to hide inside, yet it’s unclear how these naturally unstable clumps of gas remain as they do without changing shape or falling into the black hole.
“Nobody knew how the donut of cold, dust gas, or the torus, stayed puffed up,” said Gallimore. “Cold gas donuts are not stable: They should collapse to a flattened disk.”
We’re so used to thinking about black holes as gobbling up any matter that gets too close that it’s more than a little surprising to hear the answer Gallimore and his fellow researchers have found: The black holes themselves fling matter from their accretion disks back out toward the gas donut, like an engine giving off exhaust.
Gallimore and fellow researchers used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in South America to detect clouds of carbon monoxide pulling away from the outer portion of the accretion disk around the Messier 77 black hole. The energies of the superheated inner accretion disk created magnetic fields that were then in turn able to accelerate these clouds to speeds much faster than would normally be expected — say from a normal top speed of 100 kilometers per second to a whopping 400. That’s quite a bit faster than the disk’s normal rotational speed, which lets the gases escape the disk and move further away from the black hole.
“We’re learning more about the accretion disk and how the accretion disk feeds the black hole,” Gallimore told Inverse, saying evidence of this feedback from black hole and its accretion disk to the rest of the galaxy could mean the black hole plays a more active role in the galaxy’s development than we thought. “We will also learn something about how the black hole might feedback to the host galaxy and affect its evolution, although we’re not there yet with this particular project.”
While this latest research has revealed the interactions between black hole, accretion disk, and surrounding gas torus, Gallimore is optimistic that more study from the telescope in Atacama will reveal still more surprises about the complicated lives of black holes.
“Stay tuned to ALMA,” he said. “There are many researchers pursuing this question about NGC 1068 and other AGNs. Looking at the molecular, cooler gas is going to reveal surprises.”
Aclass of mysterious radio waves blasting from space may be more powerful than anyone expected. Calledfast radio bursts, or FRBs,they’ve been a perpetual source of confusion for astronomers, who have no clue from where they originate, or how and why they are created. Nevertheless, they still have some usefulness: scientists just detected another FRB coming from deep space, and it’s the brightest one yet. In another first, astronomers have observed one of these enigmatic blasts occurring together with a pack of gamma rays. This means they could have the same source, and it could be a billion times more energetic than previously predicted.
FRBs are high-intensity radio signals, which race through the universe at incredible speeds. The signals are brief, lasting only a few milliseconds each — which makes them extremely difficult to detect and pinpoint. The first FRB was observed in 2001, and since then astronomers have only detected 17. With limited information, all we seem to know is that they originate from outside the Milky Way.
Even though less than 20 examples have been detected, astronomers believe thousands of these puzzling flashes illuminate the cosmos on a daily basis. Some experts think colliding neutron stars could be the driving force behind these mysterious blasts, and there could be several factors causing the bursts. No one can say for sure yet.
The radio pulse of the recent FRB. The brightness varies due to variations in the cosmic web.
However, the researchers can agree that the recent flash — captured by CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales — one was one of the brightest ever seen. Despite flashing for only a fleeting moment, all FRBs are packed with crucial information. However, the most recent FRB was unique as it contained information about the cosmic web — aka the swirling mass of gasses and magnetic fields located in between galaxies.
“This particular FRB is the first detected to date to contain detailed information about the cosmic web — regarded as the fabric of the Universe,” Dr. Ryan Shannon of ICRAR-Curtin University explained in a news release. “It’s also unique because its travel path can be reconstructed to a precise line of sight and back to an area of space about a billion light years away that contains only a small number of possible home galaxies.”
The location of the FRB 150807.
Since this particular FRB was so bright (thanks to the gamma ray boost), the research team was able to estimate its origins in the sky more precisely than any other FRB. They estimate its origins could be in a galaxy named VHS7, which is roughly a billion light-years away. There are a handful of galaxies in that region, and astronomers cannot say for sure just yet, but VHS7 looks like the best bet.
While the team won’t be able to definitively determine what causes FRBs or pinpoint exactly where they came from, this discovery will be a great tool to help analyze what lies between us and the vicinity of VHS7. Astronomers can use it as a probe to study the vast cosmic web, enabling researchers to better understand how galaxies form, and how the universe itself is structured.
Mysterieus stenen bouwwerk gevonden in Kazachstan dat veel groter is dan Stonehenge
Mysterieus stenen bouwwerk gevonden in Kazachstan dat veel groter is dan Stonehenge
Archeologen hebben aan de oostkust van de Kaspische Zee in Kazachstan een enorm 1500 jaar oud stenen bouwwerk blootgelegd.
Het doet denken aan Stonehenge, maar is vele malen groter, meldt LiveScience.
Verspreid over een gebied van 750 hectare zijn grote blokken steen gevonden. De stenen zijn vier tot 24 meter groot en rijkelijk versierd met graveringen van wapens of wezens.
Metaaldetector
Het is nog een mysterie wie het enorme bouwwerk heeft gemaakt en waar het voor werd gebruikt.
In 2010 werd de vindplaats ontdekt toen een man genaamd F. Akhmadulin er rondliep met een metaaldetector.
Hij vond er delen van een zilveren zadel en andere curieuze voorwerpen die hij aan archeologen liet zien.
Die besloten op onderzoek uit te gaan. Sommige blokken steen staken uit de grond, wat erop wees dat ze grotendeels waren begraven.
Hunnen
Onderzoekers Andrey Astafiev en Evgeniï Bogdanov van de Russische Academie van Wetenschappen hadden in eerste instantie geen idee hoe groot het bouwwerk was.
Uit voorwerpen die zijn gevonden maken ze op dat het steencomplex mogelijk is gebouwd door een nomadenvolk.
In de periode dat het is gemaakt leefden de Hunnen in het gebied. Of ze het bouwwerk daadwerkelijk hebben gemaakt is nog onduidelijk.
Mysterieuze cultuur
“De Hunnen verdreven diverse etnische groepen in de Euraziatische steppe van hun grondgebied,” aldus de onderzoekers.
Het is dus ook mogelijk dat het complex is gebouwd door een andere mysterieuze cultuur.
Het bouwwerk is zo groot dat het waarschijnlijk nog jaren zal duren voordat het helemaal is opgegraven.
Het complex is gevonden in een regio waar niemand had verwacht zo’n enorme structuur aan te zullen treffen.
Strange ‘burning’ UFO spotted in the sky above capital city – The Aliens Are here!
Strange ‘burning’ UFO spotted in the sky above capital city – The Aliens Are here!
A mysterious ‘burning’ UFO has been filmed travelling across the sky above a capital city.
Residents of Lima, Peru, were left stunned as the orange light floated slowly through the air in the slightly darkened sky.
The video, which lasts a full minute and was revealed by Peruvian media last night, has left observers mystified.
To add to the mystery, people in other parts of the South American country, including the highlands to the southeast of Lima and the area near the Amazon rainforest, also spotted strange lights in the sky.
One silly theory that many researchers have now shunned is that the lights could be the high-altitude balloons used by Google’s Project Loon, an initiative that provides Internet access to people in remote and rural areas.
The balloons float in the stratosphere about 18km, 11 miles, above the Earth’s surface and do contain lights.
Is this where aliens from Mars relax? British conspiracy theorist spots a SOFA on Red Planet
However, there are a number of people who believe Peru is a regular stop-off for aliens who are drawn to the country by its many ancient sites, including the world famous Machu Picchu citadel in the Andes Mountains.
A close up of the orb like UFO
U.I.P SUMMARY
Lets get real people this is definitely NO weather balloon or ‘swamp gas’ in fact when you watch the video closely you can clearly see that the ufo/orb appears to be moving an a controlled manner!!
Peru appears to be a bit of a hotspot for ufo’s and even the governments airforce have confirmed engagement with unknown craft in the skies above their country!
UFO sightings are drastically on the rise and its time to wake the masses and get the steeple people of this planet to open their eyes and look up!!

The Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle
Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, the Bermuda Triangle is believed to be the devil’s lair as most of the unusual disappearances in the triangle had no records of human error, equipment failures or natural disasters
The term “Bermuda Triangle” was initially coined by writer Vincent Gaddis in 1964 in the men’s pulp magazine Argosy. Gaddis was also the one who proposed that Atlantis was real and that it was somehow connected to the triangle.
Let’s have a look at some of the most famous incidents:
1. Accounts of weird activity in the area were already being recorded way back during the days of exploration and early travel. In fact, Christopher Columbus wrote about a large fireball dropping from the sky and into the ocean during one of his journeys in the region in 1492. Columbus claimed what he saw caused his compass to malfunction.
2.One of the most famous Bermuda Triangle mystery would have to be the story of the Mary Celeste. Also known as the Ghost Ship, it was found in full sail on December 4, 1872 without a single passenger on board
3.A large French ship sailing from Hamburg to Havana was discovered intactwith all of its cargo, but nobody on board, except for a canary, a cat and some fowl. Whatever happened to the crew remains a mystery…
4.On one of its trips, the large American ship Ellen Austin, came across another vessel sailing in the Bermuda Triangle with no one on board. Some of its crew transferred to the other vessel to try and salvage it, but it never actualized due to a storm. On another trip, the Ellen Austin came across once again with the ship and sent some of its crew to scavenge it. No one was on board and few days later, it disappeared again
5.The Deering was found aground off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina in 1921 with its entire crew missing. The ships log and navigation equipment were gone, the crew’s personal effects and lifeboats had also disappeared, leaving investigators completely baffled.
6.The disappearance of the USS Cyclops and its 306 man crew back in 1910 is one of the Bermuda Triangle’s most mysterious incidents. Its disappearance is the single largest loss of life in U.S Naval history not directly related to combat.
7.Newlyweds Frank and Romina Leone went finishing off the coast of Boynton Beach, Florida in their new boat on June 18, 2003. When the couple failed to turn up for work the next day, family and friends began to worry. U.S coastguards were sent out to search the waters of Miami, but neither their boat or bodies were ever found.
8.On January 30, 1948, the Star Tiger left Santa Maria, Azores with 25 passengers on board. It was meant to arrive in Bermuda at 5 a.m, but at some point just before its arrival, the radio operator lost contact with the pilot. Hours later, the plane has disappeared out of sight. A fleet of 26 aircraft were sent out to search of the Star Tiger, which was never found.
9. During the same year as the Star Tiger’s mysterious disappearance, a Douglas Dakota DC-3 flight took off from Puerto Rico, heading for Miami, Florida. Twenty minutes before landing, the flight disappeared from radars and was never to be seen or heard of again. Two more cases very similar cases have occurred since.
10.On October 30, 1954, Flight 441 took off with 42 passengers making their way to Lajes in the Azores Islands. The plane was about 400 miles off the coast line when contact was lost. Flight 441 never arrived at its destination and disappeared without a trace.
11.Five ill fated avenger bomber planes disappeared without a trace on December 5, 1945 while on a training mission. Frequent communication had taken place between the trainees and their flight leader, Charles Taylor during the mission. To make the situation even weirder, the five rescue craft sent after them also disappeared.
12.While flying over the Bermuda Triangle in 1970, American pilot Bruce Gernon experiencing something that he can’t quite logically explain. As he was flying, he flew through mysterious donut shaped hole that formed into a swirling cloud tunnel. At the end of the tunnel the pilot witnessed what he could only describe as an electronic fog, which caused his aeronautical instruments to malfunction. Had he just gone through some sort of time portal?
13.Cary Gordon Trantham was flying home after spending time with her daughter in Florida when she experienced something very strange. While flying over the open water at night, she suddenly flew through a thick bed of fog, which left her flying in pitch darkness. She claims not to have been able to navigate herself as her plane’s instruments went haywire. Lucky escape!
14.On March 12, 2009, passengers aboard a flight spotted strange lights in the skies over what looked like a vortex in the sea. The unexplained sighting was even photographed by naval cameras who claimed the object floated above water for an hour before disappearing.
15.On November 3, 1978, Irving Rivers’ Eastern Caribbean Airways plane disappeared from radars just moments after controllers at the airport in Saint Thomas cleared it for landing. The plane was less than two miles from the airport when it disappeared.
16.It was on January 30, 1948 when Tudor Star Tiger left Santa Maria, Azores with 25 passengers on board. The plane was supposed to arrive in Bermuda at 5 a.m., but it never came. Hours after its supposed arrival, a fleet of 26 aircraft searched for days for the lost aircraft, but never found a single trace of the Star Tiger.
17. A couple of UFOs were spotted on the horizons of the Bermuda Triangle back in 2014 by passengers aboard a cruise ship. The UFOs were described as being bright orange, with lights that gradually dimmed and disappeared after a few moments
18. The Witchcraft was a luxury cabin boat owned by hotel mogul, Dan Burack. On December 22, 1967, Burack and a friend set out about a mile out of the Miami Coastline to view the Christmas lights when the coast guard received a distress call from him. When the coast guard arrived at the site, no boat was to be found.
19.Joshua Slocum was dubbed as the very first man to sail solo around the world in 1895. Although he was considered as one of the best sailors of his time, Joshua Slocum apparently disappeared from the face of the earth in 1909 after allegedly passing through the Devil’s Triangle. He sailed with his old fishing boat called “The Spray.”
UIP Summary:
This is only a small list of the mysterious disappearances and the governments must know what really is going on in the Bermuda Triangle! Not many people have survived this strange phenomenon, but the few that have tell the same story which makes me believe that there is definitely a portal in that part of the world.
I truly hope this is the case, as it would be wonderful to know that all of these people who disappeared are actually living a happy life in some other dimensions
Death Dive! Comet Plunges into the Sun at Mind-Blowing Speed
ESA and NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO, saw a bright comet plunge toward the sun on Nov. 16-17, 2016, at nearly 1.3 million miles per hour.
Like most sungrazing comets, this comet was torn apart and vaporized by the intense forces near the sun.
The disk of the sun is represented by the dark circle in the video clips.
Greetings, Earthlings! 8 Ways Aliens Could Contact Us
Greetings, Earthlings! 8 Ways Aliens Could Contact Us

INTRO: Beyond Earth
From a few subtle radio signals to alien monsters bombing the White House, science fiction is replete with depictions of aliens making contact with mere mortals.
While some of those depictions are far-fetched, it turns out that scientists have spent countless hours thinking about just how extraterrestrial civilizations could contact humans. Some of their ideas are nearly as fantastical as Hollywood's wildest tales.
Of course, signs of intelligent life don't have to be tiny objects — they could also be really, really big ones. Some scientists have argued that alien megastructures could be like a giant "come here" sign pointing other civilizations to their presence, Grinspoon said. In fact, scientists recently kept their eye on the star KIC 8462852, which dimmed and brightened mysteriously over the past several years. Some have argued that the star is surrounded by an alien megastructure that is occasionally blocking light from the star — though other explanations include a swarm of exoplanets or a planet-forming disc.
In December 2015, scientists reported a complete lack of communication from the region.
"We found no evidence of an advanced civilization beaming intentional laser signals toward Earth," study co-author Douglas Vakoch, president of METI International in San Francisco, said in a statement.

2. Laser pulses
Repetitive laser pulses could also be a sign of an alien race trying to get in contact with us, because, in theory, lasers could send signals or messages across vast distances, Grinspoon said. To find those laser pulses, researchers have zeroed in on extremely bright flashes of light, which are less likely to be caused by natural phenomena.
So far, however, they've found no sign of alien signals.

3. Robot probes
Alien signals may not be traveling in electromagnetic waves at all. Instead, signs of intelligent life may be very small objects that advanced civilizations send out to explore the universe.
"Most of the solar system is still unexplored, so for all we know, there could be alien probes orbiting on the asteroid belt or somewhere on the surface of Mars," Grinspoon said. "They could be quite miniature. Who knows what alien technology is capable of — they could be the size of golf balls."
Finding these objects could rely on the same technology scientists could use to sample those regions, Grinspoon said.

4. Radio waves
In a 1959 paper in the journal Nature, physicists Philip Morrison and Giuseppe Cocconi argued that scientists should scour radio waves for signs of extraterrestrial life. That's because radio waves travel relatively undisturbed through the universe, not being absorbed or re-emitted by celestial objects. Thus, the duo reasoned, any extraterrestrialshoping for their message to be relayed across long distances would logically resort to this medium, said David Grinspoon, an astrobiologist at the Planetary Science Institute.
For decades, that's been the predominant way to search for aliens. For instance, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has scoured telescope data for signal-like radio waves.
Of course, the whole search rests on the assumption that aliens are thinking just like us, which may not be the case.
"Aliens don't necessarily read Nature magazine," Grinspoon told Live Science.

5. Radiating away
Of course, not all aliens will be on a mission to find other creatures in the big, lonely universe. Some may be more like hermits, hoping to hide their existence. If that's the case, they'd make no attempts to broadcast their existence.
However, theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson has argued that even celestial hermit kingdoms might develop technology to siphon energy from a nearby star using an orbiting object known as a Dyson sphere.
"It doesn't have to be a sphere at all," Dyson previously told Live Science, "just any place where aliens happen to be generating a lot of energy."
These Dyson spheres would then throw off waste heat, an inescapable byproduct of harnessing star power, in the form of infrared radiation. Already, researchers at the Allen Telescope Array and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer(WISE) space telescope are scouring the skies for signs of such waste radiation.

6. Star dance
Others have proposed that highly advanced civilizations could be advanced astro-engineers, moving stars into bizarre or highly geometric alignments that are unlikely to occur by chance, Grinspoon said.
"They could construct something that would be visible from a huge distance across the galaxy, or even from another galaxy, that would be obviously artificial," Grinspoon said. "Nobody's seen anything like that."
Others might actually harness star power to create messages. For instance, if aliens could spin small and extremely dense stars called neutron stars in just the right way, they could make these stars emit light as a kind of flashing beacon, Grinspoon said.
In fact, when neutron stars were discovered, scientists thought they might be messages from "little green men." (That discovery earned astronomer Antony Hewish the Nobel Prize in physics; his graduate student Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who first discovered the star, was passed up for the high honor.)

7. Needle in a haystack
Even if aliens are trying to make contact, there's no guarantee we'd receive their messages. The universe is 91 billion light-years across, and messages could come from anywhere.
To narrow the search, some argue that aliens are likelier to send messages our way if they know we're here. A study published in February 2016 in the preprint journal arXivfound that there are 82 stars we know of in Earth's transit zone, or an area of the sky that has a direct line of sight to Earth.
"Along this line, there is a very small band— a strip of less than a degree from where extrasolar observers would see the Earth transiting the sun," said study co-author René Heller, an astrobiologist at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Göttingen, Germany.
Heller and his colleague Ralph Pudritz at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, predicted that there may be up to 100,000 stars within this zone of the sky — some of which could have planets teeming with life orbiting them.
One advantage of this approach is that the tiny slice of the sky is relatively easy to search.
"You could just skim or scan the whole Earth transit zone over the course of maybe a few dozen nights or so, depending on how large the field of view of your radio telescope is," Heller told Live Science.
If these hidden exoplanets harbor life, they'd also be in the same galactic neighborhood — just a few hundred light-years away at most.

8. Part of space exploration
The search for intelligent life-forms may not need dedicated megaprojects, Grinspoon said.
"We're going to send spacecraft out to these places to explore," Grinspoon said, referring to spots like the asteroid belt. "So while we explore the solar system, we should at least be aware of the possibility of finding something really anomalous that would be artificial."
Either way, if there are smart creatures in the universe, odds are, they know exactly what to do to make contact.
"Mathematically, it's pretty easy to show, and logically, it makes sense that they would be much more advanced," Grinspoon said. "We're such babies as a civilization; anybody that is outside trying to contact us probably has a much longer relationship with science and technology."
So, if aliens are trying to contact us, it's probably our fault that we're missing their signals, Grinspoon said.
Il traque les ovnis... mais n'y croit pas beaucoup
Il traque les ovnis... mais n'y croit pas beaucoup
Jean-Paul Aguttes dirige le Groupe d'études et d'informations sur les phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés depuis février. | Ouest-France
Arnaud BÉLIER.
Le Français Thomas Pesquet s'envolera jeudi vers la station spatiale internationale. Y croisera-t-il des petits hommes verts ? Peu probable. Même si depuis quarante ans, la France est l'un des rares pays au monde à assurer une veille depuis le Groupement d'études et d'informations sur les phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés, à Toulouse.
« Alice, viens voir! Qu'est-ce que c'est que ce truc? C'est extraordinaire! Faut appeler, j'sais pas quoi… Maman, passe-moi mon portable! » La scène, enregistrée sur un smartphone, se passe le 13 juillet 2011 à Châteaufort (Yvelines). La femme dont on entend la voix est sous le choc : une dizaine de points lumineux viennent d'apparaître dans le ciel. Et si c'était des ovnis…
Des témoignages comme celui-ci, le Groupe d'études et d'informations sur les phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés (Geipan) en reçoit 500 par an. Dans son bureau, au sein du pavillon de direction du Centre national d'études spatiales (Cnes), à Toulouse, la documentaliste du service, Marie-Pierre Desvignes, a aménagé deux « murs des émotions ». Des photos, des dessins, des schémas. Tous disent l'incompréhensible, l'effroi parfois. Une boule dans le ciel, un éclair. Sur certaines photocopies, des témoins ont dessiné une soucoupe, ou ce qui ressemble à un vaisseau spatial, au-dessus d'une maison.
Allô docteur, est-ce moi qui débloque ou est-ce que les extraterrestres n'auraient pas débarqué ? Après tout, David Vincent, le héros de la série Les Envahisseurs, les a bien vus, lui… Le responsable du Geipan, Jean-Paul Aguttes, ne prend jamais ces témoignages à la légère. À 60 ans, ce spécialiste des radiofréquences, ancien sous-directeur du Cnes, épluche tout : les procès-verbaux de la gendarmerie, les rapports de la Défense, de la direction générale de l'aviation civile. Sans compter les témoignages, de plus en plus nombreux, à arriver directement sur le site du Geipan.
Avec le Chili et l'Argentine, la France est l'un des rares pays au monde à être dotés d'un tel service. « Ne pas traiter correctement ces observations, ces découvertes qu'on ne comprend pas, produit des incompréhensions, des interprétations incontrôlées », justifie Jean-Paul Aguttes. En bon scientifique, il entend apporter aux témoins de phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés (PAN) la réponse « la plus rationnelle, la plus rigoureuse » en travaillant sur ce qui « apparaît inexplicable » au premier abord.
Pas une mince affaire à l'ère d'Internet et du complotisme généralisé. Jean-Paul Aguttes dialogue en permanence, tout en s'en méfiant, avec deux camps : les ufologues convaincus de l'existence des objets volants non identifiés, et les ultra-cartésiens pour qui tout cela n'est qu'une vaste plaisanterie. « Ces derniers arrivent parfois à trouver des réponses originales à des phénomènes étranges »,observe le patron du Geipan.
13 % de cas non identifiés
Les points lumineux orange dans le ciel de Châteaufort ? De simples lanternes thaïlandaises en papier de riz qu'on lâche lors d'un mariage ou d'un événement heureux. Une traînée flamboyante qui se déplace rapidement dans le ciel ? Un « bolide » : une météorite ou un débris de satellite qui se consume dans l'atmosphère. Une sphère lumineuse de couleur jaune tirant vers le rouge ? Une boule de foudre. La moitié des témoignages reçus par Brigitte Vergée, l'adjointe de Jean-Paul Aguttes, trouvent rapidement une explication. Parce que le phénomène est bien connu, parce que les conditions météo, ce jour-là, ne laissent guère de place au doute.
Parfois, c'est plus compliqué. Jean-Paul Aguttes prend alors le relais. À distance, grâce à une foule d'outils (Google Street View, bulletins météo, observations radars), il circonscrit le témoignage, sollicite des experts. Si cela ne suffit pas, il envoie sur le terrain l'un de ses vingt enquêteurs bénévoles dispersés un peu partout en France. Des enseignants, des facteurs, des journalistes, sélectionnés pour leur « rigueur d'analyse et leur capacité à comprendre la méprise »,et formés à la psychologie cognitive. Leur boulot : « Chercher l'événement conventionnel, que l'on peut expliquer par nos connaissances, et l'élément perturbateur qui a créé l'étrangeté du phénomène observé. »
Et ça marche… dans la plupart des cas. Sur les 2 530 signalements répertoriés sur le site du Geipan à la fin octobre, 16 % sont classés A (parfaitement identifiés) ; 34 % B (globalement identifiés) ; 37 % C (non identifiables, par manque de données). Restent 13 % de cas non identifiés, classés D. « Il y a dix ans, quand on a décidé de rendre publics tous les phénomènes aérospatiaux non identifiés, cette proportion était supérieure à 20%. On a progressé dans la connaissance, notamment sur les boules de foudre »,avance Jean-Paul Aguttes.
En rêve-t-il la nuit ? S'attend-il même, un jour, à répondre à l'un de ces interlocuteurs : non, vous n'avez pas rêvé, les petits hommes verts sont parmi nous… Il sourit : « La probabilité me semble très faible, mais je ne peux l'exclure. Qu'il y ait de la vie ailleurs dans l'univers, c'est probable : une étoile sur mille a une exoplanète habitable. Est-elle intelligente, ce n'est pas sûr. Et si oui, aurait-elle l'envie et la capacité de venir nous rendre visite? Je n'ai aucune raison de l'espérer, ça ne fait pas partie de mes attentes, ni de mes craintes. Je n'ai pas besoin de ce mystère. » Scientifique jusqu'au bout des ongles.
Electronic E.T.: Intelligent Aliens Are Likely Machines
Electronic E.T.: Intelligent Aliens Are Likely Machines

We often imagine intelligent aliens to be humanoid, but this is unlikely for a number of reasons.

Any intelligent aliens that humans manage to contact probably won't look much like you or me, or the squid-like creatures in the new film "Arrival."
If an extraterrestrial species becomes advanced enough to send signals Earthlings can pick up, it will likely shed its traditional biological trappings and become a form of machine intelligence in rather short order, said veteran alien hunter Seth Shostak.
To make his case, Shostak pointed to the path that humanity appears to be on. The human species invented the radio around 1900 and the computer in 1945, and it's already manufacturing relatively cheap devices with greater computing power than the human brain.

The development of true, strong artificial intelligence (AI) is therefore not too far off, experts have said. The famous futurist Ray Kurzweil, for example, has pegged 2045 as the year this world-changing "singularity" will hit.
"But maybe it takes to 2100, or 2150, or 2250. It doesn't matter," Shostak said in September during a presentation at the Dent:Space conference in San Francisco. "The point is, any society that invents radio, so we can hear them, within a few centuries, they've invented their successors. And I think that's important, because the successors are machines."
AI will interface with people's bodies for a while, but eventually humans will abandon the wetware and go fully digital, Shostak predicted.
"It'll be like — you build a four-cylinder engine. You put it in a horse to get a faster horse. And pretty soon you say, 'Look, let's get rid of the horse part and just build a Maserati,'" said Shostak, an astronomer at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in Mountain View, California. "So that's probably what's going to happen."
Humans' machine selves will get smarter and more capable incredibly quickly, he added. Humanity's present intelligence is the result of 4 billion years of Darwinian evolution, which uses random variation as its raw material and is not directed toward any particular goal. But the evolution of machine intelligence will be engineered and efficient, Shostak said.
"Once you invent a thinking machine, you say, 'Invent something better than you are,' and you build that. 'Design something better than you are,' and you build that, and so forth," he said.
This idea has serious implications for the search for intelligent alien life. Unlike Earth organisms, super-advanced extraterrestrial machines would not require water or other chemicals to survive, so they would not be tied to their ancestors' home worlds tightly at all, Shostak said. And journeying tremendous distances would not be a big deal to these machines, provided they could access enough energy and raw materials to keep repairing themselves over the millennia, he said.
"We continue to look in the directions of star systems that we think have habitable words, that have planets where biology could cook up and eventually turn into something clever like you guys," he told the Dent:Space audience. "But I don't think it's going to be that way."
Shostak said he isn't counseling his fellow SETI astronomers to stop investigating potentially Earth-like planets such as Proxima b, a recently discovered world that lies just 4.2 light-years away. (And simple life-forms could still inhabit such worlds even if their most intelligent inhabitants went digital and departed long ago, Shostak said.) But it may be a good idea to expand the search to regions of space that would seemingly be attractive to digital life-forms, he said — for example, places with lots of available energy, such as the centers of galaxies.
"That may be where the really clever beings are," Shostak said.
"Maybe what we ought to do is look at places on the sky that connect two places where there is a lot of energy," in an attempt to intercept communications between alien machines, Shostak added.
"This is my message to you: We're looking for analogues of ourselves, but I don't know that that's the majority of the intelligence in the universe," Shostak concluded. "I'm willing to bet it's not."
