Hovering sphere UFO splits into three objects
Hovering sphere UFO splits into three objects
A Wisconsin witness at Medford reported watching a hovering sphere in the night sky that split into three spheres before “turning off,” according to testimony in Case 79892 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness and a friend were camping at Spearhead Point Campground in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest at 7 p.m. on October 13, 2016, when the incident occurred.
The witness first noticed a hovering sphere in the distance at Spearhead Point Campground, pictured. (Credit: U.S. Forest Service)
“This was our fourth night at the campground, and the first night since we had been there that the sky was clear,” the witness stated. “I had noticed a bright, white sphere in the eastern sky, and I had been trying to figure out what it was. It was too big for a star, and I thought that it might be a planet.”
The witness continued to keep an eye on the object.
“All of the sudden it started to move, slowly at first, and then faster. I told my friend what I was seeing as my friend is blind. It was moving south-southeast, and had become obscured by some evergreen trees.”
The witness then ran from the picnic table, down the steps to the dock at the campground, to gain a better view of the object that was moving south-southeast. But the object could not be seen. Then back at the picnic table area, the witness again saw the sphere.
“While I was describing the sphere, and scrambling to find a camera or our video recorder, the sphere split forming two spheres. When it split, it appeared as though the new sphere dripped off the original sphere. These spheres were originally aligned vertically, and then the lower sphere moved upward to be aligned horizontally. Once the spheres were aligned horizontally, one of the spheres split again. There were now three spheres aligned horizontally.”
The object split into two objects, and then into three. Pictured: Spearhead Point Campground. (Credit: U.S. Forest Service)
The witness noticed a change in size when the spheres split.
“Each time there was a split, the spheres became smaller, and they were all bright white. The two spheres on either side just seemed to turn off, leaving the sphere in the middle. That sphere began to change colors, cycling through white to red to red-orange. This continued for about a minute, and then that sphere just turned off. The original sphere was slightly bigger than a BB held at arm’s length, and it was oriented approximately 45-degrees above the horizon.”
The witness could not estimate how far away the objects were.
“Since I’m not familiar with the area, I don’t have an estimate of how far away the object might have been from the campground. The object(s) did not make any noise, and I didn’t see anything like an exhaust trail. The overall sighting lasted around 40-50 minutes. About 20 minutes after all of the objects had disappeared, a plane flew over our campground. It was easy to hear the plane’s engine. You could see the outline of the plane in the sky, as well as see the aviation lights blinking on and off. Unfortunately, we did not get a photo of the object(s). My camera had fallen out of my backpack onto the ground under the picnic table, and I didn’t see it there until the next morning. We did get the video camera out, but were unable to record the object(s) due to a camera malfunction.”
Wisconsin MUFON State Director Susan Birttnen investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.
All three objects eventually blinked out. Pictured: Spearhead Point Campground. (Credit: U.S. Forest Service)
“The shape of the objects was in a sphere with a glowing surface,” Birttnen wrote in her report.“The size was unknown. The color was white for two of the spheres and the third sphere was red/orange. The objects flashed sequentially. There was no sound. The elevation was at 45-degrees.The lowest altitude and distance was unknown.The objects were hovering over the Mondeaux Flowage water-way.The campground was pretty rustic. There were no street lights. The only light was from their fire pit and the nearly full moon. About 20 minutes after the objects disappeared, a plane flew over the area.”

An Iowa witness at Iowa City reported having a brief encounter with a chevron-shaped UFO that banked hard and quickly moved away, according to testimony in Case 79752 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving to a nearby gas station when the object was first noticed at 9:20 p.m. on October 11, 2016.
“Saw stationary lights in a ‘W’ or chevron wedge above my head with some unusual light patterns,” the witness stated.“Was silent. I am in the flight path of a municipal airfield and planes go directly over my home to land approximately 200 yards away – small craft, but slow and low — usually very loud but not enough to be alarmed.”

The witness assumed the object was a plane.
“But no accompanying sound before during or after. Nice weather – had window down driver’s side and sunroof was open. Also, it wasn’t moving. Most planes move.”
The witness described the object.
“Light pattern changed when it glided onward ahead of me, banked sharply as a lazy course correction of sort. Couldn’t recall if lights were in a pattern of changing. It was soon far ahead of me and I can’t tell if I lost sight from clouds or just distance or some other intervention. I first felt odd for a plane holding still in the air. Then it wasn’t like most planes I have seen.”

The object then quickly moved away.
“Then it accelerated away faster than a car could, even a fun car. Also, it was above me and quickly rolled to the right to be going more south-southwest and southwest. It was loosely following the road.”
Iowa MUFON Field Investigator David Kreiter investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.
“The object itself was barely discernable behind the array of equidistant-spaced lights that outlined its chevron shape,” Kreiter wrote in his report. “The object made no noise as it hovered overhead for about 10 seconds, and then it took off due south at a very high rate of speed, banked to the right, and then continued in a south-southwest direction. It disappeared only about two to three seconds after it moved from its initial stationary position.”

The investigator interviewed the witness at the sighting location.
“He said that the general color was pink, but the lights might have had multiple colors. He said that he often saw planes coming low into the airport, so it took him a second or two to figure out exactly what he was seeing. He was shocked to see that the object was silently hovering just about one-quarter mile above his car. He didn’t stop his car, but continued on at a very slow pace. After about 10 seconds, the object took off at a very high rate of speed. After about a second, it banked slightly to the right and headed off toward the south-southwest in the same direction as highway 1.
“During the interview the witness said that the object was about the distance of ‘metal horns’ at arm’s length, which is a reference to a salute fans perform at a rock concert when they raise their arms and extend the index finger and the little finger of their hand. This distance is about two inches or about five centimeters. When the object was at its furthest point from the witness, about three seconds after the object took off at a high rate of speed and before he lost sight of it, the apparent size was about one-half the initial apparent size that the witness reported when the object was stationary above his car.
“Because of the flight characteristics of the object, the shape of the object, and the color of its lights, it is unlikely that the object was natural or human-made.The temperature was 61 degrees, with calm conditions and a clear sky at the time and date of the sighting. No similar cases were reported during the time, date, and location of this sighting to my knowledge.Taking into account the credibility of the witness and the results of the ensuing investigation, I have assigned this case a disposition of Unknown–UAV.”

The witness had just stepped out of a vehicle at a work site at 3:15 p.m. on November 23, 2016, when the object was first seen.
“I noticed the reflection of light in the sky,” the witness stated.“It was stationary, and appeared to changeshape.”

A short time later, the object appeared to move.
“After about 30 to 45 seconds, the object began moving very slowly, to the east-southeast. It made no sound, or was too far away to distinguish sound. Elevation did not appear to change. Stopped recording video, when visual contact was obstructed by a building. Began recording again, when visual was regained. Feeling confident that it was moving slow enough to re-acquire.”

The witness then went inside for about a minute.
“When I came back outside, the object was nowhere to be found. I was able to record the object for just over four minutes.”

A California witness at Angles Camp reported watching a distant light that illuminated his campground before making an abrupt turn and moving away at high speed, according to testimony in Case 79773 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness and a friend were camping at New Melones Lake and watching the stars about 10:30 p.m. on July 26, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“We both noticed a craft that had an exceptionally bright light on the exterior slowing moving towards us from the north,” the witness stated.“About 10 seconds later, we observed the exterior light on the craft becoming significantly brighter to the point that it fully illuminated our campsite, similar to a police helicopter spotlight, but this craft was over a mile away and made no noise.”

The two watched the object as it appeared to divide.
“The object then appeared to split into two separate craft flying side-by-side and five seconds later followed by an abrupt 90-degree turn and sped off at a very high rate of acceleration covering a distance of at least five miles in under half a second – all while making no noise.”
The witness states that they were not using drugs or alcohol.
“We were both in awe at what we had witnessed and somewhat afraid. I am not sure if the craft(s) we observed were in the shape of a sphere or if that was just the external lights.”

New Melones Lake is a reservoir on the Stanislaus River in the central Sierra Nevada foothills, within Calaveras County and Tuolumne County, California.California MUFON Field Investigator Jerry Clinton Gerow investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.
“At this point I believe we have an Unknown,” Gerow wrote in his report.“Another possibility would be air traffic. There is a helicopter port north of the lake where the lights were apparently coming from, an airport to the northeast, southeast and southwest. A possibility would be that one or two helicopters lifted off from the helio port to the north with spot/search lights and then made an abrupt turn to their left and when they did it appeared the lights were flashing off to the left. No large planets or stars are of sufficient size to match the size of the objects which the witness says were almost moon size.”
The craft appeared to be about one miles away, but the light lit up the campsite at New Melones Lake, pictured. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

Classic Disk UFO Over Bay Village, Ohio On Dec 5, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Classic Disk UFO Over Bay Village, Ohio On Dec 5, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Dec 5, 2016 Location of sighting: Bay Village, Ohio, USA Source: MUFON #80870 This UFO is the classic disk we have all heard about over the last few decades. The classic disk has been found in NASA photos on the moon, ESA photos of Comet P67 and even UFO cases that lasted decades like the Rocca Pia, Italy friendship case that included aliens and humans working together. Nice catch, Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
I was in my kitchen, getting a cup of coffee. Looked out to see what at first I thought was a very very large plane moving extremely slow across the southwest sky. It had blinking lights, yellow, golden in color, looked to be the shape of a triangle. The lights were 3-4 spaced on either side. I ran to get my binoculars as my son was a pilot. I am very familiar with planes. At first I thought it might have been a larger plane. This object was moving so slow, a normal plane could not stay up in the sky given the speed of this object. No sounds.
By the time I got my binoculars, it was moving past trees, headed towards Avon Lake. I saw another report made earlier from someone that also saw a light over the Lake the same day. I am not sure what time this person saw the object they reported but my sighting was between 8-8:30 PM. Yesterday, December 7th, I was looking out my kitchen window and noticed how pretty the clouds were. I grabbed my camera and took a few pictures to show my husband. Attached is one of the regular pictures I took with nothing in it but the clouds. I took several more and then noticed an "object" appeared on one of the frames. I did not see this object when I was snapping the photos but it is there. Looks like a round classic UFO...I tried to blow it up to see it better but the camera I had in my hands was a small Cool Pix. I have seen numerous sightings here. I also have another video of one we saw a few years ago. When you view the picture, look at the top left hand corner. You may have to blow it up to view but the picture prior to that, you just see the clouds, nothing else. I didn't want to upload all the other pictures to make a point. I have them on file though. You can see the object in DSCN 3078.

White Orb Over Florida Same As Over Denver Colorado, Dec 7, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Dec 7, 2016 Location of sighting: Williston, Florida, USA Source: MUFON #80861 This at first looks like a planet, but as you see, its 100% in focus, so that rules out planet. This is however a white light UFO which we have also reported dozens of times over the hills of Colorado this year and in the past over the holy location called Dome of Rock. In both instances this same UFO was seen in this same detail, but by thousands of eyewitnesses. It the night sky, its easy to mistake it for a star, but with this perfectly focused camera...it was caught. Technology as it advances will reveal the truth to us...without the governments help. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
At about 6:56 pm I was outside and noticed a large redish ball of light that appeared to be motionless in the sky at about 95 degrees magnetic from my location. It was very bright, and at first I thought it was a parachute flare like those used by the army. I am a retired army veteran, and one of my specialies was as a Redeye missile gunner, so I am expert in visual aircraft recognition and have never seen an aircraft emit a light of this color or intensity. It appeared much brighter than the planet Venus, which was clearly visible to the west of my location at that time. I observed it for about 3 minutes, then it abruptly disappeared.
UFO Hunters Claim USAF Acquires Alien Technology Through Making Alliance With Extraterrestrials
UFO Hunters Claim USAF Acquires Alien Technology Through Making Alliance With Extraterrestrials
The USAF and UFOs are trusted allies as the former is testing the acquired alien UFO technology at the Nellis Air Force base, according to renowned UFO hunter Steve Barone. In a YouTube video uploaded by Steve, a UFO is seen above the restricted test and training area of the Nellis Air Force facility.
UFO hunter Steve Barone has been keeping a close monitoring of suspected alien activities around the Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. He claimed that there had been substantial alien activities in the area. He used night vision technology camera to capture the video.
Steve said that it had not been processed and completely original. He explained that he did not do anything to enhance or alter it, so the video shows exactly what the night vision camera had captured.
The United States Air Force (USAF) and UFOs have combined their forces, and that the USAF has acquired new technologies for military purposes, Steve Barone said. It has also been reported in different technology news site that USAF received UFO alien technology, which then tested in the controversial Area 51 and the Nellis Air Force.
Veteran UFO hunters further confirmed reports of a possible alliance between USAF and extraterrestrials. They said that the video shows three UFOs over the USAF Nellis Air Force base. They further claimed that it shows the USAF performing a test of alien UFO technology.
Some UFO researchers believe the test was conducted in that area so no one can travel over to witness the activity. They also speculated that the high-security area is designed for alien UFO technology tests.
Het dikke pak ijs dat Groenland nu bedekt, is niet zo heel lang geleden voor het grootste deel tot op het onderliggende gesteente gesmolten.
Tot die conclusie komen Amerikaanse onderzoekers in het blad Nature. Het zou betekenen dat de Groenlandse ijskap veel kwetsbaarder is dan nu wordt aangenomen.
Bedrock Onder de dikke Groenlandse ijskap bevindt zich gesteente (bedrock). Twee decennia geleden zijn onderzoekers erin geslaagd om een stukje van dit gesteente boven te halen voor onderzoek. Ze moesten daarvoor dwars door iets meer dan 3 kilometer ijs en sediment boren. In het verleden zijn de ijskernen die het onderzoek opleverde al uitgebreid geanalyseerd. Maar naar het bovengehaalde gesteente is nog vrij weinig onderzoek gedaan: pas de laatste jaren zijn de technologieën ontwikkeld die wetenschappers nodig hebben om de samenstelling van het gesteente in detail vast te kunnen stellen. Gewapend met die nieuwe technieken hebben onderzoekers het gesteente nu grondig geanalyseerd. En ze komen tot een schokkende conclusie.
Isotopen In het gesteente vonden de onderzoekers sporen van beryllium-10 en aluminium-26. Deze isotopen worden geproduceerd door kleine deeltjes die afkomstig zijn uit de ruimte en de aarde continu bombarderen. De snelheid waarmee deze isotopen vervallen, is bekend. Daarnaast weten we dat deze isotopen niet kunnen ontstaan als het gesteente met ijs bedekt is. De mate waarin deze isotopen in het gesteente aanwezig zijn, kan dan ook verraden hoelang deze gesteenten ‘naakt’, oftewel niet met ijs bedekt waren.
Links zie je Groenland dat voor 100 procent bedekt is met ijs. De witte stip geeft de plek aan waar gesteente van onder het ijs is gehaald. Dit gesteente suggereert dat het langdurig onbedekt is geweest. Modellen laten zien dat de plek waar het gesteente vandaan komt, één van plekken is waar het ijs – wanneer de Groenlandse ijskap volledig zou smelten – als laatste zou verdwijnen. Rechts zie je dan ook hoe Groenland er in het geologisch gezien recente verleden zeker 280.000 jaar bij heeft gelegen: vrijwel volledig ‘naakt’. Afbeelding: Schaefer et al., Nature, 2016).
Naakt Volgens de onderzoekers wijzen de isotopen erop dat het oppervlak in de afgelopen 1,4 miljoen jaar zeker 280.000 jaar niet bedekt was met ijs. Mogelijk lag het gesteente 280.000 jaar op rij bloot. Aan die periode zou zo’n 1,1 miljoen jaar een einde zijn gekomen. Een andere – meer waarschijnlijke – mogelijkheid is dat het ijs niet 280.000 jaar op rij weg was, maar meerdere keren gedurende kortere periodes verdween. En dat zou dan ook recenter dan 1,1 miljoen jaar geleden nog zijn voorgekomen. Het smelten van de Groenlandse ijskap zou in beide scenario’s het resultaat zijn geweest van natuurlijke klimaatverandering. “Helaas suggereert het dat de Groenlandse ijskap heel onstabiel is,” stelt onderzoeker Joerg Schaefer. “Als we deze in perioden van natuurlijke klimaatverandering zijn kwijtgeraakt, kunnen we deze zomaar weer kwijtraken.”
De Groenlandse ijskap bestaat uit meer dan 2,8 miljoen kubieke kilometer ijs. Als de ijskap volledig smelt, zou dat kunnen resulteren in een zeespiegelstijging van zo’n zeven meter. Onderzoek wijst uit dat de Groenlandse ijskap te lijden heeft onder de antropogene (door mensen veroorzaakte) klimaatverandering: sinds de jaren negentig van de vorige eeuw smelt de Groenlandse ijskap twee keer zo hard. Hoe de toekomst van de ijskap eruit ziet, is onduidelijk en lijkt sterk afhankelijk van de hoeveelheid CO2 die we de komende jaren de atmosfeer in pompen. Dit nieuwe onderzoek beweert zeker niet dat de ijskap gedoemd is om volledig te smelten, “De boodschap is: als we de aarde blijven opwarmen zoals we nu doen, dan staat ons een enorme zeespiegelstijging te wachten,” aldus onderzoeker Richard Alley. Paleoklimatoloog Jeff Severinghaus – hij was niet bij het onderzoek betrokken – onderschrijft dat. “We kunnen de laagste schattingen van de toekomstige zeespiegelstijging nu verwerpen, omdat de modellen die hieraan ten grondslag liggen aannemen dat Groenland de laatste 1 miljoen jaar continu met ijs bedekt is geweest.”
'Misschien hebben aliens geen vaste grond onder de voeten'
'Misschien hebben aliens geen vaste grond onder de voeten'

Misschien leven ze wel hoog in de wolken die bijvoorbeeld bruine dwergen – ook wel mislukte sterren genoemd – omringen.
Wanneer we zoeken naar buitenaards leven dan richten we vaak onze pijlen op planeten die vloeibaar water op hun oppervlak kunnen herbergen en dus een fijne temperatuur hebben. Maar wie zegt dat aliens op het oppervlak van een planeet wonen? Misschien zweven ze wel gewoon rond, in de atmosfeer van een bruine dwerg bijvoorbeeld.
Atmosfeer van de aarde Het lijkt misschien wat vergezocht, maar dat is het eigenlijk helemaal niet. Kijk maar eens naar de atmosfeer van de aarde. Uit eerder onderzoek is gebleken dat deze heel wat microben bevat en er zijn zelfs aanwijzingen dat de stofwisseling van sommige van deze organismen zelfs hoog in de lucht gewoon doorgaat. Misschien moeten we onze blik dan ook verruimen en niet langer enkel op het oppervlak van planeten op zoek gaan naar buitenaards leven.
Bruine dwerg Dat stellen onderzoekers in een nieuw paper. En ze werken dat idee direct even uit. En wel aan de hand van een superkoude bruine dwerg die eenzaam en alleen door de ruimte zweeft: WISE J085510.83 − 071442.5 (kortweg W0855-0714). Waarom deze bruine dwerg en niet een planeet die rond een ster draait? Omdat de atmosfeer van W0855-0714 – en dus ook eventuele microben in die atmosfeer – niet beïnvloed worden door de complicerende effecten die een ster (met zijn straling en deeltjes) op een atmosfeer kan hebben.
Temperatuur en druk Op het oppervlak van de bruine dwerg is het bijzonder koud. Maar hoger in de atmosfeer vinden we waarschijnlijk een temperatuur en druk die vergelijkbaar is met de temperatuur en druk op het oppervlak van de aarde, zo schrijven de onderzoekers. En recent onderzoek suggereert bovendien dat er hoog in de atmosfeer van deze bruine dwerg water te vinden is. Het kan er dan ook best fijn zijn voor microben.
VERANDERING
Mocht er leven zijn in de atmosfeer van bruine dwergen dan evolueert het waarschijnlijk ook. Bruine dwergen worden namelijk koeler wanneer ze ouder worden en daardoor daalt de atmosferische leefbare zone van een bruine dwerg naarmate deze ouder wordt. En naarmate die leefbare zone daalt, neemt ook de luchtdruk toe. “Waardoor de aarde van de organismen zoals wij die beschrijven ongetwijfeld zal veranderen.”
Ontstaan van leven Maar hoe komen die microben dan in die atmosfeer terecht? Wellicht kan er in die atmosfeer leven ontstaan, zo stellen de onderzoekers. Voor zover we weten, herbergt de atmosfeer van bruine dwergen de meeste elementen die nodig zijn voor leven (denk bijvoorbeeld aan koolstof, waterstof, stikstof en zuurstof). En eerder onderzoek naar W0855-0714 suggereert dat hoog in de atmosfeer stofdeeltjes te vinden zijn. Mogelijk vinden op die stofdeeltjes chemische reacties plaats waaruit prebiotische moleculen ontstaan. Of wellicht worden die moleculen – de voorlopers van leven – in de atmosfeer van de bruine dwerg afgeleverd door stofdeeltjes die vanuit het interstellaire medium in de atmosfeer van de bruine dwerg worden afgezet.
Venus Als we er rekening mee houden dat ook in de atmosfeer van hemellichamen wellicht leven mogelijk is, neemt het aantal potentieel leefbare plaatsen in het universum enorm toe. En die potentieel leefbare plaatsen vinden we dan heus niet alleen rond bruine dwergen. Maar wellicht ook rond planeten die momenteel als onleefbaar worden bestempeld. Een mooi voorbeeld daarvan is Venus. Op het oppervlak is het gloeiend heet en kan vloeibaar water niet standhouden. Daarom wordt de planeet als onleefbaar beschouwd. Maar op zo’n 55 kilometer hoogte in de atmosfeer is de temperatuur vergelijkbaar met de temperatuur op het oppervlak van de aarde en is ook vloeibaar water beschikbaar. De onderzoekers erkennen dat de atmosfeer van Venus niet helemaal vergelijkbaar is met die van een bruine dwerg, omdat Venus wel beïnvloed wordt door de zon. Maar ondanks dat de atmosfeer van Venus een heel andere dynamiek heeft dan die van W0544-0714 behoort leven hoog in de atmosfeer van Venus wellicht tot de mogelijkheden.
Of de onderzoekers het bij het juiste eind hebben, is op dit moment eigenlijk niet te achterhalen. Daarvoor zullen we in de toekomst een beroep moeten doen op krachtige telescopen die in staat zijn om bijvoorbeeld de gassen die organismen hoog in de atmosfeer van andere hemellichamen produceren, te detecteren.
The phrase “quasicrystal from outer space” sounds like the title to a science fiction thriller with a New Age twist. Buta study published Thursdayin Scientific Reportsannounced that a bonafide quasicrystal has indeed been discovered within the grainy remains of a meteorite found in the Khatyrka region of the Russian far east, five years ago. The paper marks the first time that a type of quasicrystal has been identified in nature before it was created artificially in a lab.
You might be asking: That’s neat, but what the heck is a quasicrystal? An understandable question. First identified by material scientist Dan Shechtman in 1982—who won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery—quasicrystals are crystal-like arrangements of atoms that defy expectations of crystalline behavior with their “forbidden” rotational symmetries.
Regular crystal structures are periodically arranged in neatly fitted shapes like cubes (four-fold symmetry) or triangles (three-fold symmetry), but quasicrystals are arranged in non-periodic patterns such as pentagonal, five-fold symmetries.

Patricia Thiel, a chemistry and materials science expert based at Iowa State University, used this helpful analogy of tiling a floor to explain the unique properties of quasicrystals in this NPR article: “If you want to cover your bathroom floor, your tiles can be rectangles or triangles or squares or hexagons,” she said. “Any other simple shape won’t work, because it will leave a gap. In a quasicrystal, imagine atoms are at the points of the objects you’re using. What Danny [Shechtman] discovered is that pentagonal symmetry works.”
It should be impossible, but material science is full of surprises. While quasicrystals are most often studied via artificial synthesis in labs, the Khatyrka meteorite demonstrates that they can form naturally. Two previous quasicrystal forms have already been identified in the fragments of this outer space visitor, but both of those arrangements had been synthesized prior to their discovery in nature. However, the latest version features icosahedral symmetry, an exotic pattern featuring 60 points of rotational symmetry, somewhat like that of a soccer ball.

Paul Steinhardt, who serves as the Albert Einstein professor in science at Princeton University, was one of the authors of the new research. When I asked him why this one meteorite, which only survives as a few stray grains, seems to have such an abundance of quasicrystals, he told me there’s no simple answer.
“There are perhaps one or two other groups [of researchers] at most searching,” Steinhardt said. “Since we found an example, we have been focusing on understanding how this particular one formed since that will tell us something about the likelihood of finding others. But it is very very early times for these kinds of studies.”
“What is encouraging is that we have already found three different types of quasicrystals in the same meteorite, and this new one has a chemical composition that has never been seen for a quasicrystal,” he added. “That suggests there is more to be found, perhaps more quasicrystals that we did not know were possible before.”
Scientists have come a long way towards a better understanding of quasicrystals since their discovery some three decades ago, and they have found many practical applications for them in everything from frying pans to LED lights. But as Steinhardt emphasized, much of the field is still in its infancy, and there is much left to discover. Stay tuned.
This graphic shows the closest approaches of Cassini's final two orbital phases. Ring-grazing orbits are shown in gray (at left); Grand Finale orbits are shown in blue. The orange line shows the spacecraft's Sept. 2017 final plunge into Saturn.
Cassini zoomed within 57,000 miles (91,000 kilometers) of Saturn's cloud tops on Sunday morning, diving through the planet's ring plane at about the spot where a faint ring generated by the small moons Janus and Epimetheus lies, NASA officials said.
Cassini will perform 19 more such close passes, each one about a week apart, through April 22, 2017.
"It's taken years of planning, but now that we're finally here, the whole Cassini team is excited to begin studying the data that come from these ring-grazing orbits," Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in a statement. "This is a remarkable time in what's already been a thrilling journey."
The $3.2 billion Cassini-Huygens mission, a joint effort involving NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency, launched in October 1997 and arrived in orbit around Saturn in July 2004. In January 2005, the piggyback Huygens lander descended to the surface of Titan; the Cassini mothership, meanwhile, kept studying Saturn and the planet's rings and moons.
That work won't last much longer, however. On April 22, Cassini will fly close to Titan, whose gravity will reshape the probe's orbit such that it zooms between Saturn and its innermost ring, which lies just 1,500 miles (2,400 km) from the planet.
Cassini will then make 22 plunges through this gap during the "Grand Finale" phase of its mission, which will conclude with an intentional death dive into Saturn's thick atmosphere on Sept. 15, 2017.
This suicide maneuver will ensure that Cassini doesn't contaminate Titan or its fellow Saturn moon Enceladus with microbes from Earth, NASA officials have said. (Both satellites may be capable of supporting life; scientists think that both Titan and Enceladus harbor subsurface oceans of liquid water, and Titan has seas of hydrocarbons on its surface.)
The Hubble Space Telescope accumulated approximately 555 hours of exposure time to capture this Hubble eXtreme Deep Field image. The area shown represents a seemingly empty patch of sky about the width of a toothpick when held at arm's length. The picture contains only two foreground stars (indicated by surrounding spikes). Every other object is a galaxy. The most distant galaxies' light is reddened by the expansion of the universe. We're seeing light that left them 13.2 billion years ago.
Spoiler alert: The universe is flat. But there's a lot of subtlety packed into that innocent-looking statement. What does it mean for a 3D object to be "flat"? How do we measure the shape of the universe anyway? Since the universe is flat, is that…it? Is there anything else interesting to say?
Oh yes, there is.
Walk the line
First, we need to define what we mean by flat. The screen you're reading this on is obviously flat (I hope), and you know that the Earth is curved (I hope). But how can we quantify that mathematically? Such an exercise might be useful if we want to go around measuring the shape of the whole entire universe. [The History & Structure of the Universe (Infographic)]
One answer lies in parallel lines. If you start drawing two parallel lines on your paper and let them continue on, they'll stay perfectly parallel forever (or at least until you run out of paper). That was essentially the definition of a parallel line for a couple thousand years, so we should be good.
Let's repeat the exercise on the surface of the Earth. Start at the equator and draw a couple parallel lines, each pointing directly north. As the lines continue, they never turn left or right but still end up intersecting at the North Pole. The curvature of the Earth itself caused these initially parallel lines to end up not-so-parallel. Ergo, the Earth is curved.
The opposite of the Earth's curved shape is a saddle: on that surface, lines that start out parallel end up spreading apart from each other (in swanky mathematical circles this is known as "ultraparallel"). [I explore the possible shapes of the universe in this video.]
The shape of the universe depends on its density. If the density is more than the critical density, the universe is closed and curves like a sphere; if less, it will curve like a saddle. But if the actual density of the universe is equal to the critical density, as scientists think it is, then it will extend forever like a flat piece of paper.

So there you have it: You can measure the "flatness" of a structure just by watching how parallel lines behave. In our 3D universe, we could watch beams of light: If, say, two lasers started out perfectly parallel, then their long-term behavior would tell us important things.
Flat as a (big) pancake
Remember that measuring the shape of the universe is a question for cosmology, the study of the entire universe. And in cosmology, nobody cares about you. Or me. Or solar systems. Or black holes. Or galaxies. In cosmology we care about the universe only at the very largest scales; small-scale bumps and wiggles are not important for this question.
The universe has all sorts of deformations in space-time where it varies from the perfectly flat. Any place where there's mass or energy, there's a corresponding bending of space-time — that's General Relativity 101. So a couple light beams would naturally collide inside a wandering black hole, or bend along weird angles after encountering a galaxy or two.
But average all those small-scale effects out and look at the big picture. When we examine very old light — say, the cosmic microwave background — that has been traveling the universe for more than 13.8 billion years, we get a true sense of the universe's shape. And the answer, as far as we can tell, to within an incredibly small margin of uncertainty, is that the universe is flat.
There is no spoon
Well, that settles that. But this article isn't over yet, which means there's more to the story.
Have you ever asked yourself if there's a difference between a cylinder and a sphere? More than likely not, but it's never too late to try new things.
Take out your piece of paper with two parallel lines on it. Go ahead, dig it out of the trash. Wrap one end around to meet the other, making a cylinder. Carefully observe the parallel lines — they remain parallel, don't they? That's because cylinders are flat.
You heard it here first: Cylinders are flat.
There's an important distinction between geometry, the behavior of parallel lines, and topology, the way a space can get all twisted up. While the geometry of the universe is very well measured (again, it's flat), the topology is not. And here's a bonus fact: not only can we not determine the topology of the universe from observations, but there are also no laws of physics that predict or restrict the topology.
With your 2D piece of paper, you can connect the ends a few different ways. Connect one of the dimensions normally and you have a cylinder. Flip one edge over before connecting and you've made a Mobius strip. Connect two dimensions, the top to the bottom and one side to the other, and you have a torus (aka a donut).
In our 3D universe, there are lots of options — 18 known ones, to be precise. Mobius strips, Klein bottles and Hantzsche-Wendt space manifolds are all non-trivial topologies that share something in common: if you travel far enough in one direction, you come back to where you started. In the case of flipped dimensions, when you come back to your starting point, you'll find yourself upside down without having tried to do so at all. [Watch: Explaining the Shape of the Universe.]
Of course we've looked to see if our universe is connected like this; we don't see any copies of galaxies, and we don't see the cosmic microwave background intersecting itself. If the universe is pretzeled-up, it's on scales far, far larger than what we can observe.
So don't get too excited by possibility of living in a real-life version of the "Asteroids" game — which, as you now know, is played on the surface of a donut.
Drill Glitch Brings Mars Rover Curiosity to a Halt
Drill Glitch Brings Mars Rover Curiosity to a Halt
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has stopped driving and using its 7-foot-long (2.1 meters) arm while mission controllers investigate a problem with the robot’s sample-collecting drill.
Curiosity was supposed to begin its seventh drilling operation of 2016 last week. But team members learned on Thursday (Dec. 1) that the car-size rover detected a problem with its "drill feed mechanism" — which pushes the drill outward from a turret at the end of Curiosity's arm — and failed to complete the command.
"We are in the process of defining a set of diagnostic tests to carefully assess the drill feed mechanism. We are using our test rover here on Earth to try out these tests before we run them on Mars," Curiosity deputy project manager Steven Lee, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, said in a statement Monday (Dec. 5). [Amazing Mars Photos by NASA's Curiosity Rover (Latest Images)]
"To be cautious, until we run the tests on Curiosity, we want to restrict any dynamic changes that could affect the diagnosis," Lee added. "That means not moving the arm and not driving, which could shake it."
Curiosity is not in a precautionary "safe mode," however. The rover continues to study its surroundings on the lower slopes of the 3.4-mile-high (5.5 kilometers) Mount Sharp using the cameras and spectrometer on its head-like "mast," as well as its weather-station gear, which is attached to the mast and Curiosity's body, NASA officials said.
Meanwhile, the rover team is trying to figure out what caused the drill issue.
"Two among the set of possible causes being assessed are that a brake on the drill feed mechanism did not disengage fully, or that an electronic encoder for the mechanism's motor did not function as expected," NASA officials wrote in the same statement.
It may be possible to work around either of these issues, Lee said.
Curiosity's drill bores into rock using both rotating and percussive (hammering) action. Last week's attempt would have been the first time the rover used just the rotary aspect, NASA officials said. (Short circuits in the percussive component have occurred several times over the past two years or so, temporarily sidelining Curiosity.)
"We still have percussion available, but we would like to be cautious and use it for targets where we really need it, and otherwise use rotary-only where that can give us a sample," said Curiosity project scientist Ashwin Vasavada, also of JPL.
The $2.5 billion Curiosity mission touched down inside Mars' Gale Crater in August 2012, tasked with determining whether or not the area could ever have supported microbial life. The rover quickly found plenty of evidence in the affirmative, determining from drilled samples that Gale hosted a long-lasting lake-and-stream system in the ancient past.
Curiosity is now climbing up through the foothills of Mount Sharp, which lies in Gale's center. The six-wheeled robot is searching for clues about how, why and when Mars transitioned from a relatively warm and wet world long ago to the cold, dry planet it is today.
To date, Curiosity has driven 9.33 miles (15.01 km) on Mars, gained 541 feet (165 m) in elevation and drilled into 15 rocks, NASA officials said.
While the largest tech platforms continue to assure us that eliminating misinformation is both a) very important to them, and b) impossible, Google’s search results were hijacked today by fake news about space aliens caught on camera “sucking energy from the sun.” A search for “aliens” turns up a breathless report from UK tabloid Metro about the alleged energy-sucking, which is sourced to a grainy video of unknown origin posted by an anonymous “UFO fan channel.” (We are not linking to this report on purpose!)
The bogus story is newly prominent on Google’s search results page, following a recent redesign that gives added weight to “top stories” in an effort to give Google more of a real-time feel. The new design also serves to highlight articles that use Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages format, a competitor to Facebook’s Instant Articles format that makes stories load faster on mobile devices. As Kyle Chayka reported yesterday in these pages, publishers are using AMP and Instant Articles to camouflage themselves as legitimate — and platforms aren’t saying anything about what they plan to do about it.
Aliens aren’t the only fake news you’ll find in “top stories.” A quick search for the Loch Ness Monster turns up a credulous piece in the Scottish newspaper Press and Journal reporting that sightings of the (fake) monster were at their highest levels since 2016, according a local crackpot who keeps a list of these things. (The Press and Journal wrote a nearly identical story the year before, bylined by the famous journalist “REPORTER.” The story quoted the same crackpot, and presumably enjoyed a similar surge in search traffic at the time.)
The publishers of these articles deserve their share of blame, of course. Every media company is locked in a death match for readers’ attention, and headlines have become much more sensationalist as a result. (The other two links in “aliens” results today are deeply misleading, but contain a germ of truth. Research cited in the second result refers to the possibility of microbial life — not the “alien” depicted in the accompanying image.)
But by making every story look the same and advertising them as “top stories,” Google has conferred upon them a legitimacy they do not deserve. Most Americans who see fake news believe it. It beggars belief that a company that became a behemoth for the quality of its search results now presents nonsense as fact.

North Wales X Files: MoD contacted by MP over UFO 'buzzing' near RAF Valley Anglesey
North Wales X Files: MoD contacted by MP over UFO 'buzzing' near RAF Valley Anglesey
Incident appeared in documents released by the National Archives on UFO reports across the UK
Reports an unidentified flying object was spotted “buzzing” near the tower on the RAF Valley base on Anglesey emerged in 1990
In 1990 an unidentified flying object was spotted “buzzing” the tower at the RAF Valley base onAnglesey.
The claimed sighting on October 16 that year was taken seriously by the local MP at the time, Ieuan Wyn Jones.
He wrote to the Ministry of Defence (MoD) asking for reassurances over the incident.
However, the MoD replied to Mr Jones, who later became the Welsh Government’s Deputy First Minister, stating staff could not remember the incident and it hadn’t been recorded in the air traffic log books.
The ministry suggested it could be explained by another aircraft flying over the base.
“Certainly such an incident would have been notified to the senior air traffic control officer had it occurred,” the MoD said.
“Military aircraft from a variety of RAF establishments regularly undertake low-flying training sorties over the North Wales area and it’s likely that a routine military low-flying training sortie could account for the observation.”
RAF Sea King helicopter
The incident appeared in documents released by the National Archives on UFO reports across the UK.
It is not the first time unidentified objects has been seen in the skies over Anglesey.
On February 7 2001, strange lights were spotted in the North Wales sky over two towns just minutes apart.
The first sighting took place above Caernarfon at 7.40pm of a “green” and “red” object that on first sight “looked like a star”.
Then five minutes later and 25 miles away, another sighting occurred over Amlwch on Anglesey at 7.45pm.
The sightings appeared in an official Government UFO report which had recorded hundreds of strange objects spotted in the sky across the UK that year.
On December 8, 1980 the British musician was shot dead by Mark David Chapman outside his residence in New York City, US.
Conspiracists have long claimed Chapman was in fact working for the US government – FBI documents released in 2010 suggested they tried to deport Lennon on a number of occasions for his music and influence.
But one element of his life continues to confuse the most scientific of supporters.
Six years before his death – on August 23, 1974 – Lennon claimed to have come face-to-face with a UFO.
Describing it from the rooftop of his New York apartment just after the incident, the 34-year-old said: “I saw a UFO and it went down the river, turned right at the United Nations, turned left and then down the river.

“It wasn’t a helicopter and it wasn’t a balloon. It was silent, it looked dark and had white lights.”
His secretary and lover at the time May Pang corroborated his story in her book Loving John, where she went on to explain it as a “large, circular object coming towards us.”
And – according to Pang – it wasn’t the first time the singer encountered extra-terrestrial beings.
In an interview with Larry Warren – from the Merseyside Anomalies Research Association – she said: “He [Lennon] told me that more than once he suspected he had been abducted as a child back in Liverpool.
“And he felt that experience was responsible for making him feel different from other people for the rest of his life.”

STRANGE: Lennon's Walls and Bridges album depicts a UFO
The star’s obsession with UFOs continued after his experience and in his design for the Walls and Bridges album cover, an alien spacecraft is the focal point.
Soon after his completion of the album, Lennon reunited with former lover Yoko Ono and retired from the music business for more than five years.
And it is this that has captivated the minds of so many.
Almost as soon as Lennon returned from his hiatus – with new ideas and an album – he was killed.

Did a UFO just leave earth through a wormhole? Shocking verdict on exploding fireball
Did a UFO just leave earth through a wormhole? Shocking verdict on exploding fireball
A MONSTER fireball that exploded over the Earth, turning night into day, was a "wormhole opening so an alien spacecraft could depart for another dimension"
Well, that is if you are inclined to believe an alien conspiracy theorist's verdict on the event seen over Norway and Siberia.
Amazing images of the huge fireball - said to have been a meteorite burning up in Earth's atmosphere - were taken in Norway and Siberia and posted online as pictures and videos.
But, Scott C Waring, editor of ufosightingsdaily.com, has come up with another explanation.
In a blog entitled "UFO Forms Giant Worm Hole Over Norway Turning Night Into Day", he wrote: "The UFO is forming a black hole around it...do you see?
"It's not exploding, it's creating the hole first...then it will enter with a flash of light and the hole is gone.
"What you see here is a UFO opening up a wormhole to just disappear."
Ronny Tertnes
The fireball was said to turn night into day over Norway.
Mr Waring admitted he had digitally manipulated the images that accompanied his blog.
He added: "I added light and all around the UFO, you see blackness.
"It's not natural...it's a black hole being formed by the UFO to shoot through time and space.
"Some alien was too lazy to leave Earths orbit and just took off in one hell of a hurry."
Mr Waring is known for taking great leaps to reach conclusions when speculating about mysterious images, using his imagination, rather than science to fill in the blanks.
RonnyTertnes*UFOSD
SCott C Waring captioned the fireball as being an alien wormhole.
"I've seen something similar while I was driving down I-10 in 1987 at about 3am in the Florida panhandle.
"There were 4 other cars on the highway. We all pulled over. Everyone agreed it was not a meteor.
"It lit up the woods around us like daylight.
"Then a large object flew across the sky. It was glowing bright blue. It got halfway across the sky, then disappeared in another bright blue flash almost as bright as the first.
"I personally believe these wormholes with objects flying out of them are alien spacecraft exiting, then entering warp speed."

Golden Cigar UFO Seen Flashing Red and Blue While Flying Past The International Space Station
Golden Cigar UFO Seen Flashing Red and Blue While Flying Past The International Space Station
News about UFOs observed in space that were described as brightly colored orbs is not something new, but recent sighting could change the trend of alien craft in space if some UFO hunters are to be believed.
A golden cigar-shaped UFO was spotted moving alongside the International Space Station in a NASA live web feed. Some conspiracy theorists are entertaining the thoughts of alien astronauts on the ship.
The short video shows the strange object in the distance flashing bright red and blue lights before vanishing without a trace.
The sighting reportedly took place on December 5 as what the video publisher indicated on YouTube.
The nearly 4-minute video shows the outside of the station, but something unusual appears to the right of the screen. It shows an apparent object moving at the same speed.
The video publisher said that it is an unidentified flying object close to the ISS. Some very fast red flashes can be seen in the video.
At around 2:06 of the video, a small red light makes an appearance. The light eventually gets bigger, but also slowly starts to disappear. Seconds before it disappears, at 3:22, a bright blue light suddenly flashes on the screen.
Another Former Air Force Officer Shares Their UFO Encounter In A British Forest
Another Former Air Force Officer Shares Their UFO Encounter In A British Forest
Nearly forty years ago, a U.S. Air Force officer had a close encounter in a British forest. Steve Longero revealed recently that he witnessed the infamous Rendlesham Forest incident in Suffolk, England in 1980, which eventually dubbed as Britain’s Roswell. Many military officers have come forward claiming they saw a UFO during a stretch of mysterious December nights.
Longero thinks it was something out of this world.
On the first night, extraterrestrials were reported on December 26, 1980, the former Air Force officer was on duty.
He recalled that they had a very sophisticated alarm system, but it just went off.
He claimed that it was kind of quite when a UFO hovered over the trees, and they just could not identify it. The unidentified flying object appeared to follow or watch them, according to Longero. The alleged UFO reportedly had fluorescent lights flickering red and green.
One of Longero’s fellow officers, Col. Charles Halt, recently published the book “The Halt Perspective,” detailing their close encounter in the British forest.
Longero said that Col. Halt came afterward, gathered everyone and gave instructions on what they were going to do.
