Duiker vond dan toch geen kernbom op zeebodem - HLN.be
Duiker vond dan toch geen kernbom op zeebodem - HLN.be
Duiker Sean Smyrichinsky trof vorige maand een vreemd voorwerp aan op de zeebodem in de buurt van Haida Gwaii, een eilandengroep voor de Canadese westkust. De man bracht de Canadese marine op de hoogte en experts vermoedden dat het wel eens om een verloren gewaande kernbom uit 1950 zou kunnen zijn. Dat blijkt na verder onderzoek toch niet het geval te zijn.
"Ik heb iets heel raars gevonden, ik denk dat het een ufo is," grapte Smyrichinsky vorige maand over zijn bizarre vondst, die hij omschreef als een groot metalen voorwerp in de vorm van een bagel.
Een collega-duiker suggereerde dat het om een kernbom kon gaan die vermist is sinds een Amerikaanse bommenwerper in 1950 crashte. Experts bij de marine hechtten geloof aan die hypothese.
Op 22 november ging de HCMS Yellowknife, een Canadees marineschip ter plaatse, in het gezelschap van de duiker. Na nader onderzoek van het wrak bleek het niet om een bom te gaan, maar om een stalen machineonderdeel.
"We zijn verheugd mee te delen dat HMCS Yellowknife in staat was om het voorwerp te lokaliseren en vast te stellen dat het voorwerp geen niet-ontplofte militaire munitie was," aldus commandant Michele Tessier in een verklaring.

“Ze weten niet wat het is”: Mysterieus object op de zeebodem blijkt geen vermiste kernbom
Duiker Sean Smyrichinsky stuitte afgelopen maand op een vreemd object op de zeebodem in de buurt van een eilandengroep voor de kust van Canada.
Hij lichtte de Canadese marine in, waarna experts zeiden dat het zou kunnen gaan om een verloren gewaande kernbom uit 1950.
Na verder onderzoek blijkt dat toch niet het geval te zijn, meldt de BBC.

“Ik heb iets heel raars gevonden. Ik denk dat het een UFO is,” zei Smyrichinsky vorige maand over zijn vreemde vondst.
Hij liet weten een groot metalen voorwerp in de vorm van een bagel te hebben gevonden.
Andere duikers en experts bij de marine dachten dat het ging om een kernbom die zich aan boord bevond van een gecrashte Amerikaanse bommenwerper.
Raadsel
De B-36 crashte in 1950 tijdens een trainingsmissie voor de kust van Brits-Columbia. De kernbom aan boord van het toestel is nooit teruggevonden.
Het mysterie van de vermiste kernbom in Canada stelt historici al meer dan een halve eeuw voor een raadsel.
Machineonderdeel
Afgelopen week heeft een Canadees marineschip het object nader onderzocht. Het bleek niet om een bom te gaan, maar om een machineonderdeel.
Smyrichinsky schreef op Facebook: “Uit metingen blijkt dat het een doorsnee heeft van 4,5 meter en de enige bommen van zulke omvang zijn in dit deel van de wereld nooit gebruikt. Maar ze weten niet wat het is…”
This Day In UFO History: Police Officer Alan Godfrey's abduction in West Yorkshire, England Dec 1980, Video, UFO Sighting News.
This Day In UFO History: Police Officer Alan Godfrey's abduction in West Yorkshire, England Dec 1980, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: December 1980 Location of sighting: West Yorkshire, England If you have ever wondered if you were abducted, this video can help you. He describes the events that took place and the amazing things that he witnessed. This is an alien abduction that most people are not aware of. This is a great first hand account of what he went through and what you could expect if you were abducted. Scott C. Waring Report states:
In November and December 1980, the eastern side of Britain was experiencing a major UFO sighting wave. There were chases of UFOs by police cars near the coast, a UFO that overflew an oil rig in the North Sea, and the wave culminated in the famous events on the East Anglian coast at Rendlesham Forest. Just a month before these landings beside those NATO air bases, one of the most impressive alien abduction cases took place in the small Penninemill town of Todmorden, West Yorkshire, right in the centre of Britain's most active window area known locally as "UFO Alley". Police Constable Alan Godfrey was on patrol on the night of 28 November 1980. Just before dawn he drove along Burnley Road on the edge of Todmorden looking for some cows that had been reported missing. They were only found after sun-up, mysteriously relocated in a rain-soaked field without hoofmarks to indicate their passage. Giving up his nocturnal hunt, Godfrey was about to go back to base to sign off duty when he saw a large mass a few hundred yards ahead. At first, he thought it was a bus coming towards him that took workers to their jobs in town and that he knew passed about 5:00 a.m. But as he approached, he realized that it was something very strange. It was a fuzzy oval that rotated at such speed and hovered so low over the otherwise deserted highway that it was causing the bushes by the side to shake. The police officer stopped, propped onto his windscreen a pad that was in the patrol car to make sketches of any road accidents, and drew the UFO. Then there was a burst of light, and the next thing he knew he was driving his car again, further along Burnley Road, with no sign of the UFO.
Godfrey turned around and examined the spot where the UFO had hovered. The road was very wet as it had rained heavily earlier in the night. But just at this one location was a circular patch where the roadway had been dried in a swirled pattern. Only when back at the police station did he realise that it was a little later than he had expected - although any missing time was probably no greater than 15 minutes from estimates later taken on site. Concerned as to possible ridicule, Godfrey at first chose not to make an official report, but changed his mind later that day when he discovered he was not alone. After breakfast that morning, a driver who had been on Burnley Road three miles further out at Cliviger reported seeing a brilliant white object and contacted Todmorden police. The time matched that of Alan Godfrey's. Furthermore, a police patrol from an adjacent force (Halifax) had been engaged in a stakeout for stolen motorcycles on the moors of the Calder Valley and had witnessed a brilliant blue-white glow descending into the valley towards Todmorden shortly before Godfrey experienced his close encounter. Their story, when it reached Todmorden police station, formed a second match.
Encouraged by this news Godfrey filed an official report, but was surprised when police chose to release the story to the local newspaper the following week. From here, UFOlogists discovered the case and a lengthy investigation was mounted by a Manchester-based UFO group. Although Alan Godfrey had no further conscious recall of the missing time, he did have increasingly confused memory of the sequence of events surrounding the sighting (with an unexplained image of seeing himself outside the car during the sighting). There was also puzzling physical evidence. His police-issue boots were split on the sole, as if he had been dragged along the floor and they had caught on something. He also reported a previous history of seeing other strange things and having experienced at least one earlier time lapse as a youth—factors that UFOlogists have come to recognise as common with abduction cases. When sure that all conscious testimony had been recorded, Godfrey agreed to be hypnotically regressed by a Manchester psychiatrist eight months after the incident. He eventually had several other sessions with different therapists, and his recall in later sessions was video-taped. The doctor refused permission to the UFO group for the first session to be recorded. The hypnotic testimony is very odd, and Godfrey was never to be sure what really happened. Under regression he told of the bright light stopping the car engine, causing his radio and police handset both to be filled with static and then to be swamped by blinding light as he lost consciousness. His next recall was of being inside a strange room, more like a house than a spaceship, complete with a most unexpected large black dog. He was studied by a heavily bearded man who telepathically conveyed that his name was "Yosef" and whose clothing was very Biblical in nature. Assisting Yosef were several small robot-like creatures "the size of a five-year-old lad" and with "a head shaped like a lamp". They are reminiscent of the "Grays" of UFO lore; although with major differences. Godfrey was supposedly asked questions, told that he "knew" Josef, and was promised a later encounter. But apparently he was not subjected to the more familiar indignities of abduction stories (especially from the US), such as bodily fluid samples and rectal probes. Although there were periods of missing memory, the hypnotic recall that did emerge was a curious hybrid of mythic images, UFO case elements and dream like sequences. When asked his opinion as to the reality status of this hypnotic testimony, Alan Godfrey was refreshingly honest. He told me he was certain that the UFO encounter was real, but he could not determine whether the story offered by hypnosis was a dream, a fantasy, reality, or a mixture of all three. Unhappily, Alan Godfrey suffered terribly after this encounter. When I first wrote up the investigation (just before the regression hypnosis began) for Flying Saucer Review magazine in 1981, I deliberately changed his identity to help protect him; although this was probably futile because the story had already been featured in the local press under Godfrey's real name. However, despite my refusal to assist them, a tabloid reporter traced the witness and devoted a front-page banner headline article to the story — read by millions over the Sunday lunch—which led to the officer being called to explain himself before his superiors. He was forced to undergo medical investigation to determine his "status", but was pronounced psychologically fit and healthy. Yet after some years feeling that he would never be allowed to forget his sighting, he took advice to honorably resign over an unrelated physical injury incurred during an incident in which he bravely intervened to avert a crime. Todmorden, both before 1980 and in the years since, has been a hotbed of alien contact activity with several other major encounters having been investigated, including another abduction of a truck driver from Burnley Road only a little further out of Todmorden and on the same highway.
This is a jellyfish UFO. They are less common than the flying disks that are often seen, but still many have argued that they are not ships, but living, intelligent beings. If thats true, then they probably can travel though space without the need of a spacecraft. Similar Jellyfish UFOs have been seen during spacewalks on the space station live cam.

No More Dark Matter? A New Theory of Gravity Could Explain Away Dark Matter and Energy
No More Dark Matter? A New Theory of Gravity Could Explain Away Dark Matter and Energy
Tim De Chant/NASA/DOE/Fermi LAT Collaboration
IN BRIEF
By treating gravity as an emergent phenomenon instead of a fundamental force, emergent gravity theory negates the need for dark matter and dark energy to explain the universe.
Any theories that could help us reconcile the conflicts between the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics will bring us a huge step closer to understanding our physical universe.
Modern physicists haven’t been able to explain why outer regions of galaxies rotate much faster than they should based on the mass and energy of the stars, planets, interstellar gasses, and other matter within them. The best explanation thus far for this strange gravitational behavior has been dark matter, a type of matter that we can’t see and that we haven’t really discovered yet.
Verlinde has a different explanation for these deviations in motion, and he calls his new theory emergent gravity. In his theory, gravity is an emergent phenomenon and not a fundamental force. As such, it’s a product of fundamental bits of information that are stored with the structure of spacetime itself. When those fundamental bits change, gravity emerges.
“We have evidence that this new view of gravity actually agrees with the observations,”says Verlinde in a Delta ITP press release. Indeed, using his theory, he has produced accurate predictions of the velocities of stars rotating around the core of the Milky Way and stars in other galaxies without any need for dark matter. By including an adaptation of the holographic principle within his theory, Verlinde is also able to account for dark energy, the unseen force causing the universe to expand.
A NEW PARADIGM
Our current understanding of gravity is largely based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity. While that theory can explain a lot of the behavior of our universe, it doesn’t hold up when applied to quantum physics, which becomes evident in extreme situations like near a black hole or during the Big Bang. Therefore, Verlinde and many other physicists think that our theory of gravity needs to be updated.
“Many theoretical physicists like me are working on a revision of the theory, and some major advancements have been made,” says Verlinde. “We might be standing on the brink of a new scientific revolution that will radically change our views on the very nature of space, time and gravity.”
Of course, Verlinde’s theory is still just that — theoretical — and it does have its limitations, including an inability to explain large-scale effects like galaxies clustering together. However, it is a plausible path toward reconciling the two pillars of modern physics, Einstein’s theory of general relativity and quantum mechanics, and therefore worth thinking about…even if it might make your brain hurt.
Plan to Colonize Mars? A One-Second Sensor Failure Doomed The ESA’s Mars Lander
Plan to Colonize Mars? A One-Second Sensor Failure Doomed The ESA’s Mars Lander
ESA/ATG medialab
IN BRIEF
The ESA states that the IMU sensor ran one second longer than expected, which caused the lander to break too early and crash into Mars.
This event underscores the dangers of space travel and the remarkable level of precision that is needed in order for humans to successfully colonize Mars
MEASUREMENT ERROR
It was NASA’s MRO images that broke the news just a few short weeks back: the Schiaparelli lander was dead.
NASA gave the first evidence that the ESA’s Schiaparelli lander seemed to have crashed on its descent to the Red Planet, which occurred on October 19, 2016. The ESA later released a statement saying that contact was lost with the lander and that the photos reveal a new feature in the Martian surface consistent with a crash…a crater from the impact site.
Now, new findings from the investigation reveal what may be the real cause of the crash. The ESA believes that a one-second failure in one of its sensors caused its systems to deploy prematurely.
Yes, just a one-second failure doomed the entire mission.
An ESA statement said that much of the mission went along smoothly. The lander was actually able to deploy a parachute 12 km off the Martian ground and release its heat shield 7.8km off the ground, just as planned.
As the lander was falling under the parachute, the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which measures the rotation of the lander, ran one-second longer than expected. When its erroneous measurement combined with the navigation data, the lander started thinking that it was below ground.
An artist's impression of Beagle 2 on the surface of Mars. ESA/Denman productions
That made it release the parachute, remove its backshell, fire its braking thrusters, and deploy its sensors. All from an altitude of 3.7 km—and if you are breaking 3.7 km before you land, then you aren’t breaking when you are actually landing.
The final report of the findings is expected by early 2017.
EVERYTHING PERFECT
This is not the ESA’s first stroke of disaster when it comes to Mars. Back in 2003, Britain piggybacked its Beagle-2 Mars probe on the ESA’s Mars Express Orbiter. But after parting with the orbiter to get to the Martian surface, it was never heard from again.
These events show just how much preparation we still need to do to get humanity to Mars. Even just tiny, one-second events can send manned space crews hurtling towards their deaths in the barren wastelands of Mars.
Schiaparelli, Beagle-2, and even the Challenger disaster show how amazingly difficult space travel and rocket science can be. With aggressive launch windows and timetables being publicized by NASA, SpaceX, the ESA, and other space agencies, one must wonder if slow and steady wouldn’t lead to a better race (and finish line).
Synthetic Future: Revolutionary Center Will 3D-Print Human Tissues and Organs
Synthetic Future: Revolutionary Center Will 3D-Print Human Tissues and Organs
Stevens Health Institute
IN BRIEF
A new 'biofabrication institute' is being made that will scan, model, and 3d-print patient-specific tissues in one building.
The ultimate goal is to 3D-print entire organs, which could save the lives of thousands of people on organ transplant lists.
A PLACE OF COLLABORATION
Most developments happening right now in the field of bioprinting come from individual laboratories that publish results that come from a controlled lab setting. At the present moment, rarely do the research institutes themselves specialize in 3D bioprinting. Instead, there is a separation between those doing the work and those using the fruits of this labor.
Driven by this emerging technology, the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), in partnership with the Metro North Hospital and Health Service, has announced that they will establish a ‘biofabrication institute’ that will scan, model, and 3d-print patient-specific tissues in one building.
The institute will occupy two floors at the Herston Health Precinct and will be capable of performing the major processes in the bioprinting process, namely: clinical scanning, 3d modeling, and tissue engineering. It will also contain learning spaces and an innovation hub.
The Minister for Health, Cameron Dick, has expressed optimism on the endeavor, saying in the Brisbane Times that it will bring together various experts in the field of medicine, science, and engineering to “deliver the best outcome for patients.”
He adds, “This institute, opening in 2017, will catapult Queensland onto the global stage as a leader in medical innovation and technology that will change the face of healthcare.”
THE ULTIMATE GOAL
The ‘end goal’ for this institute, according to QUT Biofabrication and Tissue Morphology Group Associate Professor Mia Woodruff, is the 3D-printing of an organ. The institute could speed up developments in bioprinting, which may ultimately mean the difference between life and death for people waiting for an organ donor.
Woodruff says that the 3D-printed organs are taken from a patient’s tissue and, to that end, are not rejected by the body, eliminating the need for metallic implants or extensive antibiotics.
She concludes, “Organ transplant lists are endless at the moment and we want to be able to help these people.” Other advantages that 3d-printed organs have are much more customized prosthetics, drugs tailored to a patient, and 3D-printed bones.
In 1954, the race of aliens, known as the Tall Greys, who had been orbiting the equator, landed at Holloman Air Force Base. They stated that their DNA is unraveling at an accelerated rate to which they will meet their ultimate demise very soon if they don’t find a solution.
The Tall Greys wanted access to the human genome for genetic research and planned to create a new organism that was both human and Grey, which is now referred to as “hybrid”. These organisms would be vessels used as genetic templates for the continuance of their race. The Tall Greys stated that for purposes of genetic research, they wanted authorization to abduct humans. They promised that the humans would be returned to their place of abduction unharmed and with no memory of what occurred.
The Tall Greys stated that they wanted their presence on Earth to remain a secret and that needed the government to stay out of their affairs. In order to keep their presence a secret, underground bases would built. One underground base would be a joint government/military and ET base. This base is referred to as Dulce Base. In exchange for assisting the Tall Greys, the US government would receive their technology as well as further assistance with technological advancement. The Tall Grey’s would also stay out of human affairs. To make the deal official, a treaty was signed by President Dwight Eisenhower. The Greada Treaty was signed by then President Elect Dwight Eisenhower .
According to the testimonies examined so far, the February 20-21, 1954 meeting was not successful, and the extraterrestrials were spurned due to their refusal to enter into technology exchanges and insistence on nuclear disarmament by the US and presumably other major world powers.
Cooper describes the circumstances of a subsequent agreement that was reached after the failure of the first meeting. While Cooper has a different version of dates and times for the 1954 meetings, he agrees that there were two sets of meetings involving different extraterrestrials meeting with President Eisenhower and/or Eisenhower administration officials back in 1954, under the Eisenhower administration, the federal government decided to circumvent the Constitution of the United States and form a treaty with alien entities.
MARSDe Marslander Spirit heeft mogelijk al jaren geleden het bewijs gevonden dat er ooit leven was op Mars. Wetenschappers keken daar toen echter over, suggereert een nieuw onderzoek.
De kwestie draait rond foto's uit 2007 van een vingerachtige rotsformatie op Mars, op het Home Plate-plateau in de Gusevkrater. Wetenschappers van de Universiteit van Arizona hebben die structuur nu bekeken en vergeleken met gelijkaardige formaties op Aarde. Ze vonden bijna identieke structuren in het Chileense El Tatio die ontstonden door een combinatie van warmwaterbronnen en... micro-organismen.
Het team koos El Tatio omdat de omstandigheden daar erg lijken op die op Mars. Het geiserveld ligt meer dan 4.300 meter boven zeeniveau en zelfs in de zomer zakt het kwik 's nachts vaak onder het vriespunt, terwijl overdag veel ultraviolet licht door de dunne, droge lucht priemt.
De formaties op Mars lijken op stromatolieten die we kennen op Aarde. Dat zijn structuren die worden gevormd wanneer microben kolonies vormen in vochtige omgevingen en sediment vasthouden op hun kleverige deklagen. Die afzettingen reageren uiteindelijk op het calciumcarbonaat in het water en vormt zo hobbelige lagen kalksteen.
Het onderzoek wees uit dat de omstandigheden in El Tatio afzettingen van silica(siliciumdioxide) produceren met kenmerken die van alle silica-afzettingen op Aarde het meeste op die van Mars lijken. Het feit dat microben een rol spelen bij de productie van de uitgesproken silicastructuren in El Tatio doet de mogelijkheid rijzen dat de silicastructuren op Mars werden gevormd op een vergelijkbare manier - met andere woorden, met de hulp van organismen die destijds leefden.
Echte zekerheid daarover is echter pas mogelijk wanneer stenen van Mars naar labo's op Aarde worden gebracht, schrijven de onderzoekers in Nature Communications. Astrofysicus Dan Brown van de Nottingham Trent University vraagt zich verder af of we niet botsen op de limieten van de Marslanders en -rovers, en of het niet nodig is om mensen naar Mars te sturen. "Aan de andere kant toont dit aan dat gegevens die werden verzameld tijdens missies 9 jaar geleden, nog altijd waardevolle resultaten kunnen opleveren."
Methaan
Onderzoekers hopen op Mars bewijzen voor buitenaards leven te vinden omdat de rode planeet ooit stromend water en een atmosfeer had. In december 2014 nam de Marslander Curiosity ook methaan waar, een gas dat op Aarde voor 90 procent wordt geproduceerd door levende organismen.
Vergelijking: links zie je de bodem van Mars, rechts die van Chili
Een wiskundige van de universiteit van Barcelona heeft berekend dat het wel eens vroeger met de mensheid gedaan zou kunnen zijn dan gehoopt. Volgens dokter Fergus Simpson van het Institute of Cosmos Sciences is er een kans van 1 op 500 dat de mens het komende jaar uitsterft en een kans van 13 procent dat dit voor het einde van de eeuw gebeurt.
De berekening is gebaseerd op het zogenaamde Doomsday Argument, dat het toekomstige aantal mensen kan voorspellen op basis van het aantal dat tot nu toe werd geboren. Volgens Simpson is er elk jaar van de 21ste eeuw een kans van ruim 0,2 procent dat er een wereldwijde catastrofe gebeurt. Hij schreef zijn bevindingen in een paper 'Apocalypse Now? Reviving the Doomsday Argument'.
"In een tijd dat op zijn minst acht soevereine staten nucleaire wapens ter beschikking hebben, mogen we onze kop niet in het zand steken", aldus Simpson. "Misschien zullen we het onvermijdelijke niet kunnen afwenden, maar misschien kunnen we het wel uitstellen."
Klimaatopwarming Ook de klimaatopwarming kan een rol spelen. Nieuw onderzoek in het tijdschrift Science Advances waarschuwde er al voor dat als de mens fossiele brandstoffen blijft gebruiken, de temperatuur op aarde in één levensspanne tot zeven graden kan stijgen, met rampzalige gevolgen voor de mensheid.
Volgens een rapport van Living Planet zou tussen 1970 en 2020 de populatie aan gewervelde dieren overigens al ingekrompen zijn tot een derde van de soorten. Dat zou gelijk staan aan een graad van uitsterven die honderd keer sneller gaat dan normaal.
Positief En dat zijn nog positieve inschattingen. Volgens een boek dat de Britse astronoom Sir Martin Rees schreef in 2003 is er een kans van 50 procent dat de mensheid 2100 niet haalt.

Medellín the new Roswell? Colombian city becomes new UFO hotspot of sorts
Medellín the new Roswell? Colombian city becomes new UFO hotspot of sorts
Some residents of the Colombian city of Medellín are reporting a close encounter with the third kind after video footage emerged online of unidentified flying objects – aka UFOs – hovering around the city and surrounding area.
While Medellín is unlikely to become the next Roswell, a recent string of spacey sightings have given credence to the “UFO hotspot” tag.
On video – shot on Nov. 16 and posted on YouTube on Dec. 5 – shows an almond-shaped object hovering over a forested area near Medellín. The silvery saucer looks very familiar to one spotted in South Wales in the United Kingdom on November 30, 2014.
Skeptics, however, don’t believe that the object filmed in Colombian – or South Wales for that matter – is an actual alien spacecraft but instead something with a much more commercial purpose.
"I think I know immediately what we are looking at," said Marc Dantonio of remote-control model company FX Models. "In my opinion, this is a public relations unmanned helium balloon that is tethered and is 18 feet in diameter. I know the dimensions because I know the balloon itself."
"Various companies sell and rent them for publicity. In one video, you are told it is flying near Atanasio Girardot Stadium right before a big final matchup soccer game. It stands to reason that flying it for a publicity stunt before a major match makes sense. It is a UFO shape and these have been sold and rented for several years now."
Both Dantonio and Ben Hansen, lead investigator on the Syfy Channel's former "Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files" series, say that all of Medellín’s paranormal sighting can be explained pretty easily – and don’t entail aliens checking out the up-and-coming Colombian city.
"It is Colombia and everyone probably lives near a soccer stadium, but if a match was going on, it might further support the idea that a balloon or blimp of some sort was involved in filming aerial shots or taking part in a promotion," Hansen said.

NASA Cut Off Video Again To Hide The Truth on UFOs, Conspiracy Theorists Claim
NASA Cut Off Video Again To Hide The Truth on UFOs, Conspiracy Theorists Claim
A UFO was observed hurtling across the International Space Station before the live feed was cut off. The video was captured by the High Definition Earth Viewing Experiment (HDEV) from the ISS. It shows an amazing shot of the earth from space.
It wasn’t the first time NASA cut off a live feed after an appearance of a mystery UFO as similar action was done multiple times.
The video, which was uploaded online by ColdPyro, shows an apparent faint, silver object flying across the screen. On an initial look, the UFO was an interesting dot that looked like it was accelerating. When the UFO moved out of the frame, the live feed went off suddenly that followed by the familiar message “Please stand by.” The message also informed the HDEV is either switching cameras, or a temporary loss of signal is being experienced with the International Space Station.
Conspiracy theorists say that it is NASA’s common practice every time a UFO appears on the screen. Because of the space agency’s repetitive action, speculations of a cover-up are on the rise against ISS and NASA.
The video was taken from the official ISS channel, according to ColdPyro, who posted it online.
The UFO can be seen for about 5 seconds to the left of center in the frame. Then the video suddenly went into a blank blue screen.
Ex-Chinese Government Official Confirms Aliens and UFOs Are Real
Ex-Chinese Government Official Confirms Aliens and UFOs Are Real
UFOs and aliens have been discussed in all walks of life for many decades. This year alone, there are hundreds of UFO sightings reported from different parts of the world, and some of them were from former government officials.
Now, a new claim has surfaced, this time from a former Chinese official who said some of UFO sightings could be real.
Shi-Li Sun, an ex-government diplomat in China, has created exciting news among alien UFO enthusiasts and researchers. The official shared some information during a disclosure hearing. He said that ET life and intelligent aliens are true.
He went on to say that government has substantial proof or evidence that aliens and UFOs have been here on Earth for many years. Shi-Li Sun’s disclosure took place at a recent Paradigm Research Group (PRG)’s UFO disclosure summit organized by Stephen Bassett.
The head of the World Chinese UFO Federation, Shi-Li Sun, claimed he, along with Chinese UFO scholars and researchers, has been studying all pieces of evidence for years. They concluded that UFOs and aliens are authentic.
According to reports, Shi-Li Sun has written various articles on the subject of UFOs and aliens, which have appeared in China’s Encyclopedia, edited by Shen Shituan, a prestigious Chinese scientist.
Shi-Li Sun once claimed that aliens have been here on Earth since many years ago and they are now living among humans. These aliens are difficult to recognize because they are disguised as humans, added Shi-Li.
According to an expert in the field, the two dark-coloured ships are shown in stark contrast against a bright white moon, seemingly flying side by side.
He wrote on his UFO Sightings Daily blog : “His editing software allows us to see its actual shape…a perfect saucer…two of them.
“There is no way these disks are satellites,” he adds, claiming that such manmade technology would not fly so close.
He added: “These are actual UFOs, flying in military style, because they are flying with a wingman to keep each other out of possible trouble."

Life began on Earth when it 'collided with a planet similar to Mercury and ABSORBED it'
Life began on Earth when it 'collided with a planet similar to Mercury and ABSORBED it'
Scientists believe the core of that planet may have gone directly to the core of our planet, and the carbon-rich mantle mixed with Earth's mantle, providing the key to life

A massive collision between Earth and a planet similar to Mercury 4.4 billion years ago may have provided the key to life, researchers believe.
Scientists have long been stumped about how carbon-based life developed on Earth when much of the element should have either boiled away or become stored in its core.
But researchers at Rice University, in Texas, USA, found the element's presence outside of Earth's core may have been influenced by an interplanetary collision.
Dr Yuan Li, the study's lead author, said: "One popular idea has been that volatile elements like carbon, sulphur, nitrogen and hydrogen were added after Earth's core finished forming.
"Any of those elements that fell to Earth in meteorites and comets more than about 100 million years after the solar system formed could have avoided the intense heat of the magma ocean that covered Earth up to that point.
"The problem with that idea is that while it can account for the abundance of many of these elements, there are no known meteorites that would produce the ratio of volatile elements in the silicate portion of our planet."
The study - published in Nature Geoscience - began in late 2013 when Dr Rajdeep Dasgupta and his team asked whether carbon, the basis of all life on earth, came from a neighbouring planet.
They mapped out relative concentrations of carbon that would arise under various levels of sulphur and silicon enrichment.
The experiments revealed carbon could be excluded from the planet's core, and relegated to a layer closer to the surface, if the iron alloys in the core were rich in either silicon or sulphur.
Dr Dasgupta said: "One scenario that explains the carbon-to-sulphur ratio and carbon abundance is that an embryonic planet like Mercury, which had already formed a silicon-rich core, collided with and was absorbed by Earth.
"Because it's a massive body, the dynamics could work in a way that the core of that planet would go directly to the core of our planet, and the carbon-rich mantle would mix with Earth's mantle.
"In this paper, we focused on carbon and sulphur.
"Much more work will need to be done to reconcile all of the volatile elements, but at least in terms of the carbon-sulphur abundances and the carbon-sulphur ratio, we find this scenario could explain Earth's present carbon and sulphur budgets."
This is the startling moment ahuge fireballripped across the sky in Florida.
Stunned residents caught the giant bright light on camera as it streaked through the night sky across the US state on Monday night.
The footage shows the moment the unidentified fireball approaches Earth and finally explodes in a flash.
The celestial spectacle spooked some local residents into calling the police amid fears ALIENS were invading.
Dashcam footage from Venice police officer Seth Kenny caught the first video of the meteor at 11.17pm.
The second video was recorded on the security camera of Largo residents Christopher and Laura Scruby.
Police cruisers in North Port, on the southwestern coast of Florida, also caught the fireball on video.
The flash was so bright the evening sky lit up as though it was daylight.
Poking fun at theories of alien invasion, the police department posted the clip with the closing caption: "At least we know that we come in peace."
The American Meteor Society (AMS) has received over 150 reports about the fireball that was mainly seen from Florida, but was also witnessed in Georgia and Alabama.
According to AMS, a fireball is an extremely bright meteor.

STRANGE APOCALYPTIC SOUNDS IN THE SKIES ARE BACK!
STRANGE APOCALYPTIC SOUNDS IN THE SKIES ARE BACK!
Many people around the world call it ‘The Hum,’ a phrase coined by the geoscientist David Deming of the University of Oklahoma to describe the ‘mysterious and untraceable sound that is heard in certain locations around the world by two to ten percent of the population.’ The noises might vary from roaring sounds in the middle of the night, to prolonged periods of noise which sound like intense industrial activity taking place in the sky (something which I have personally heard myself back in 2012 – MWV). Most unusually of all, ordinary people in cities such as York in England have claimed to hear trumpet horns coming from the sky playing chilling bars of ‘music’.
STRANGE NOISES HEARD OVER THE SKY IN SLOVAKIA!?
Now Slovakia has become the very latest location to hear these incredibly bizarre and completely inexplicable noises, which have been recorded on video.
Please check out the video below:
Check out the video below of the strange industrial type metallic which I witnessed myself back in 2012 – over a period of a month and over a distance of up to a 100 miles:
As of yet, not one person has been able to offer a completely coherent explanation for these mysterious sounds. Some have suggested that the chilling noises might be caused by changes in the Earth’s core which could eventually lead to a complete polar shift. However, aside from speculation, there is little evidence to suggest that this particular theory is true. According to Deming, they may well be caused by enormous amounts of collated feedback from telephone transmissions and aircraft which are operated by the United States Navy to communicate with submarines. However, this explanation is deemed to fall short as these noises became particularly apparent in 2011 and 2012 and if Deming is correct, there should have been previous indications of this feedback reaction before this period. It has also been suggested that these sounds are caused by solar flares hitting the earths atmosphere, also known as ‘sky quakes’?!
MANY people from around the world have even suggested that the noise could be being caused by projects such as the HAARP weapons program, which is believed to be dedicated to working on high-tech weather modification technology. If this particular explanation is correct, it could not explain not only the unusual noises but also why they are so often accompanied by a bizarre phenomenon in the sky, such as those which have been detected in Slovakia in recent months.
Please check out below some of the strange sights being witnessed in the sky around the world:
Please check out some more startlingly videos recorded from Slovakia of these yet UNKNOWN strange sounds in the sky!
U.I.P SUMMARY
The strange sounds in the sky, no matter what, are a VERY real/true story and something that I have witnessed myself back in 2012 (apparently when the world was supposed to end!?). There has NEVER been a straight answer to what is causing these unknown creepy sounds and it was causing that much tension throughout the planet that people were beginning to demand answers from their governments – who probably know the TRUTH but are not permitted or want to confirm exactly what they are!
It has even been suggested that these strange sounds in the sky are caused by Aliens and possibly cloaked crafts travelling above earth! No matter what these strange sounds are, they are very real and very much BACK!
Have you ever heard these strange sounds in the sky before?
