Curiosity Just Found A Whole Bunch of Promising Mars Rocks
Curiosity Just Found A Whole Bunch of Promising Mars Rocks
NASA’s Curiosity rover is currently climbing a mountain. The rover is in the business of climbing lots of things, but according to the data it’s transmitting back to scientists this particular mountain is full of groundwater, making the rock strata chemically active and diverse - a good sign as we search for microbial life. Curiosity also located boron, thefirst time the element has ever been found on Mars. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced the promising news in a press releaseTuesday.
The rover is drilling into Mount Sharp, a site scientists chose hoping it would provide us with exactly this kind of geologic record. The central mound’s sediment is layered, providing a chronological account of early environmental conditions on Mars.
“There is so much variability in the composition at different elevations, we’ve hit a jackpot,” California Institute of Technology professor John Grotzinger told JPL. “A sedimentary basin such as this is a chemical reactor … Elements get rearranged. New minerals form and old ones dissolve. Electrons get redistributed. On Earth, these reactions support life.”
As Curiosity progresses higher up the mountain, it’s also finding various clay minerals and hematite not present at lower altitudes. As for the boron, on Earth we generally find in drier regions where the water has evaporated, so scientists are still floating ideas as to why we just found it deposited by Mars’s groundwater. The two prevailing theories at the moment are that either a lake evaporated under a layer of boron, which later re-dissolved and trickled down through the cracks to the more ancient layers Curiosity is sampling, or that the process by which groundwater transports boron was chemically altered, an idea supported by the fact that we also found hematite.
“Variations in these minerals and elements indicate a dynamic system,” Grotzinger said. “They interact with groundwater as well as surface water. The water influences the chemistry of the clays, but the composition of the water also changes. We are seeing chemical complexity indicating a long, interactive history with the water. The more complicated the chemistry is, the better it is for habitability. The boron, hematite and clay minerals underline the mobility of elements and electrons, and that is good for life.”
The Curiosity rover touched down on Mars in 2012 and has been searching for signs of life ever since. While we’ve seen plenty of promising evidence from various forms of water and minerals that life could exist there, there’s still no proof that it does, which is why discoveries like this one are so crucial. The better we understand how microbial life might survive on Mars, the better-prepared we are to survive on it ourselves.
For nearly 200 years, scientists have seriously pondered the possibility of life on Mars. It’s been a rollercoaster of dreaming: for a long time, the more we studied Mars, the more it looked the like the Red Planet was acold, dry hellhole, lacking any of the essentials we consider a requirement for even the most primitive life.
Then we learned Mars was once teeming in liquid water. With the discovery that liquid water currently exists on the surface of the planet, the prospects that aliens actually still call Mars home now seem better than ever. During a Tuesday workshop called “Searching for Life Across Space and Time”, NASA Goddard Space Center biogeochemist Jennifer Eigenbrode made a pretty strong case for why the newest data were collecting about Mars is dramatically raising the prospects we might find signs of past of present Martian life.
It all comes down to what we’re starting to learn about the presence of organics on the Red Planet. Eigenbrode remembers that during the Curiosity rover’s landing in 2011, most members of the NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory were “very doubtful we would ever detect organics on Mars.”
Nowadays, MSL’s scientists realize “organics are all over Mars.” And where there are organics, there’s the potential for those compounds to come together and lead to the genesis of living organisms.
Does that mean there’s life on Mars? Not necessarily. But organic molecules and compounds are the constituents that lead to life. Organics on Earth were by no means a guarantor that life would evolve, but it was certainly essential to the evolution of organic life.
During her presentation in Irvine, California, Eigenbrode pointed to analyses of Martian rock samples from the Gale Crater floor, Yellowknife Bay, and Parhump Hills — areas that are thought to have once possessed liquid water reserves — and they all had traces of organic macromolecules.
This is important, because 70 to 90 percent of organic matter is macromolecular. The complexity is critical to making life work, since metabolism is a complicated process that requires complicated pathways. Organic matter also fuels metabolism itself, since it’s one potential source of energy or carbon. “We need to be looking for this stuff,” said Eigenbrode.
But as Eigenbrode emphasized, the big question is what are the sources for these organics. They could be biological, but they might also very well be abiotic. They may have formed de novo — that is, on the planet itself — or be the result of deposits brought to Mars through meteorite crashes. “if this stuff is abiological,” she cautions, “…looking for organics is not looking for life.”
Nevertheless, “the presence of organic matter actually supports the habitability of an ancient lake,” said Eigenbrode. She’s specially referring to the Gale Crater, which is thought to have been home to vast body of water 3.6 billion years ago.
So what’s next? NASA’s Mars 2020 rover will be the key to understand the extent to which life may have or perhaps does exist on the Red Planet. The new rover will be fitted with an large suite of different instruments that can do a better job assessing the composition and concentrations of Martian organics and how they might relate to life on Mars. Just a little over four years to wait before two centuries’ worth of speculation can finally be confirmed or debunked.

Three American Space Station projects have failed, but a dedicated U.S. Space Station will facilitate U.S. economic activities, accelerate humanity's colonization of the solar system, and allow us to tap the resources of the cosmos to aid our cause.
THE UNIVERSE BEYOND EARTH
“Mars is the next step of our space program. It’s the challenge that’s been staring us in the face for the past 30 years. At one time in the ancient past, Mars was very similar to the conditions of early Earth. We now have ‘eyes’ and ‘ears’ on the surface of this new world. The Mars rovers have captured our imaginations. They genuinely are explorers in the old-fashioned sense.”
Thirty years ago, Carl Sagan wrote these words, urging the continued funding of NASA’s programs in the U.S. budget. However, there are obstacles that we still face when it comes to exploring, understanding, and conquering the Red Planet.
The U.S. is the world’s leading aerospace manufacturer. We lead the globe in the exploration of the solar system and the development of commercial, military, and communication satellites. We can reach the Moon and Mars, but it seems we can’t (or don’t) stay long. Instead, we spend billions of dollars leaving and returning again.
In order to build on Mars, to stay on Mars, and ultimately expand to other worlds, there are two seemingly insurmountable obstacles. First, the establishment of a permanent presence in space requires the development of space-based infrastructures. We can see Mars with our “eyes” and “ears”—our probes—but we can neither physically reach it nor stay there until we’ve first established significant human enterprise, industry, and presence operating off Earth.
The second obstacle in relation to establishing a permanent human presence in space is the why? In short, to explore, understand, and build on the Red Planet, we need an economic impetus to do so.
So what is the next step? How do we maintain a human presence off Earth? How can we access the resources of the Solar System if we can’t stay in space any longer than it takes for the trip there and back again?
In the past half-century, we’ve had three real answers to this question: the Manned Orbiting Laboratory, the Skylab, and the Freedom. All projects towards permanent habitable space stations. Yet, all three projects were canceled due to financial obstacles.
With one exception.
A LONG VOYAGE INTO THE COSMOS
The Freedom Space Station project launched in 1994, and it was eventually converted into a larger Space Station, one that is still in operation today under a different name.TheFreedom and Russian Federal Space Agency space station project (MIR-2) modules were integrated, ultimately becoming the Russian Orbital Segments and American Orbital Segments of the International Space Station (ISS).
These canceled Russian and American projects formed the first joint international undertaking off Earth.
Can the U.S. maintain its place as a leader of the development of space-based industry? Could the U.S. create its own space station as a stepping stone into the cosmos? Let’s imagine it.

The space station could legally operate the way Tiangong 1 and 2 have. The Tiangong stations, translating to Heavenly Palace, have been the only other manned stations in space besides the ISS. Though small, the Tiangongs are nonetheless an entity of the Chinese government. An easy, if not entirely semantically correct, way to think about it is that the Tiangongs are a city of China in space.
Any developments by the U.S would be the American counterpart, the city in space—a design which was investigated by NASA more than a quarter of a century ago. The U.S space station should not only be intended as a scientific laboratory, but as a central location for U.S. economic activities, such as asteroid mining and space solar power (1). Ultimately, this new space station’s primary purpose would be to generate space-based industry, providing burgeoning enterprises with the resources to initiate economic activity off Earth. The new U.S. Space Station would be the realization of the three failed NASA projects to colonize the solar system
MAKING SPACE AFFORDABLE
With the development of space-based economic activities, such as space solar power and asteroid mining, this can lead to the creation of technology that will facilitate the accessibility of space by allowing companies to generate revenue from their efforts.
Currently, it costs millions of dollars to send a pound of anything into space, whether it’s computers, water, or personnel. Space solar power is an economic impetus that could lead to sustainable and renewable energy that does not emit greenhouse gasses, hazardous waste, and is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Additionally, asteroid mining can bring rare-earth metals and resources within our grasp, materials that are in limited supply on Earth and are used in everything from electric vehicles to computer chips. Resources that could be mined or extracted include iron, nickel, titanium, water, rare-earth metals, oxygen, and hydrogen. These could be used to sustain the lives of astronauts on-site, to create rocket propellants, and to send back to Earth. Notably, in space exploration, using resources gathered while on a journey is referred to as in-situ resource utilization, eliminating the need for billion-dollar-chemically-based rockets to bring such necessities from Earth.
These space-based industries are our frontier, the new frontier. Building a home amongst the stars can not only lead to the construction of the technology for easier ways of getting off the Earth, but also to new ways of thinking about space travel—like non-rocket space launches, a geosynchronous orbital tether to the stars, or even the laser propelled lightcraft (2).
UNDERSTANDING THE NEED
Of course, having a U.S. space station would not be simple. The project will require us to create new space-based industries and catalyze a new frontier of economic activity with a dedicated human presence in space. But imagine drastically reducing the financial burden of maintaining satellites in space. Imagine being able to build ships while in space as opposed to launching them from the Earth and battling the clutches of gravity. Imagine the military advantage of a space station that can send aid to any position on the globe. Imagine 1000 Americans in space on an American Space Station in a new branch of the military.
The early American enterprise of NASA’s three space station projects created unprecedented economic opportunities off Earth that we had never before considered and eventually led up to an even larger space station. The current I.S.S. is a testament to a confluence of nations, a foothold amongst the stars, and a shared dream of exploration. Ultimately, a permanent U.S space station is not only a step for American aerospace industry gaining the foothold to tap resources of the solar system, but another big step for humanity becoming a multi-planetary civilization and one day reaching (and staying) on the Red Planet
Footnotes:
(1) Unlike terrestrial solar and wind power, oil, gas, ethanol, nuclear plants, and coal plants, space solar power does not emit greenhouse gasses or hazardous waste. It is also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in huge quantities. It works regardless of cloud cover, daylight, or wind speed. Further, space solar power can be exported to virtually any place in the world, and its energy can be converted for local needs — such as the manufacturing of methanol for use in places like rural India, where there are no electric power grids. Space solar power can also be used for the desalination of sea water and the agricultural development of previously barren, open lands. Lastly, space solar power can provide a market large enough to develop the low-cost space transportation system that is required for its deployment. This, in turn, will also bring the resources of the solar system within economic reach.
(2) Laser propulsion is in its early stages of development. Lightcraft use an external laser source or maser energy to provide power for producing thrust. The laser/maser energy is focused to a high intensity in order to create a plasma. The plasma expands, producing thrust.
Echoes detected during a black hole merger that confirmed part of Einstein's theory of relativity could mean there is something at an event horizon, contradicting the same theory.
If confirmed, the information would challenge our current assumptions about physics and how black holes are structured, leading to a better understanding of our physical world.
Physicists studying LIGO’s data on the black hole merger claim it reveals “echoes” of gravitational waves that contradict predictions made by Einstein’s general theory, which has been proven by LIGO on more than one occasion now. Previously, physicists believed that Einstein’s theory broke down in extreme conditions, such as those found at a black hole’s core. However, these recently discovered echoes seem to indicate that relativity fails around a black hole’s edges, far from its center.
As part of the standard model based on Einstein’s theory, nothing should be found at the edge of a black hole (its event horizon). This contradicts other theories such as the one that corresponds to quantum physics, which suggests that an event horizon should have a firewall, a ring of high-energy particles, around it.
Cosmologist Niayesh Afshordi at the University of Waterloo in Canada created models of these black hole mergers that assumed they did have something at their event horizons. The timing of the echoes following the release of gravitational waves in the mergers recorded by LIGO matched up perfectly with those expected by Afshordi’s models. This supports the idea that the edges of black holes do have some structure and not a whole lot of nothingness as suggested by Einstein’s theory.
THE PUZZLE THAT IS THE UNIVERSE
“The LIGO detections, and the prospect of many more, offer an exciting opportunity to investigate a new physical regime,” said black-hole researcher Steve Giddings from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).
For now, more research is needed to see if these echoes were a fluke or something that will completely reshape our understanding of a black hole’s event horizon. If proven to be permanent fixtures of a merger, we would need a new theory to explain this and similar phenomenon — at least until the elusive theory of everything comes along.
In any case, observation of future black hole mergers can confirm whether these echoes were just flukes or random noise. “The good thing is that new LIGO data with improved sensitivity will be coming in, so we should be able to confirm this or rule it out within the next two years,” said Ashfordi.
It’s no surprise that the universe continues to confirm theories of physics one minute and break them the next. So much of the universe is still a big unknown as far as we’re concerned. Theories come and go, and although Einstein’s has been relatively successful, the emergency of new technologies will continue to allow us to challenge earlier assumptions.
Huge mysterious UFO disc-shaped object captured crossing moon's surface was alien spaceship, say ET hunters

The full moon is seen in the night sky above Sydney, Australia, November 13, 2016, on the eve of the "supermoon" spectacle.

Alien hunters are convinced this huge apparently disc-shaped UFO crossing the moon is yet more proof of extraterrestrial life.
Mystery surrounds the object which appeared from out of the blue as the Miami Observatory in Florida streamed a feed of the lunar surface on December 3.
The dark circle-shaped shadow is captured above the moon, sparking theories from a well-known UFO enthusiast that it is a craft created by an intelligent species.
Scott C. Waring, from UFOsightingsdaily.com, said: "It's not a man-made object, because there are not solar panel wings on it to gather energy.
"There are no antennas on it for transmitting, also the surface is not completely round, but has a rough edge to it.
"Looks like a bio-mechanically grown UFO."
One poster on YouTube refuted claims that it was an alien spaceship or even an object.
They said: "After studying it is NOT an object.
"I have come to these conclusions after multiple re-plays effected, I have seen that it does not maintain the form.
"For me it is the outskirts of a shadow. If this is so it is very possible that the object crossed between the Moon and the Sun projecting the shadow."
Another user said: "Peekaboo UFO, they know we are watching."
He said: "I am an amateur astronomer and spent 18 years in the army barracks so I know what aircraft look and act like.
"This just made my jaw drop."
Readers of the story on local website Chinchilla News speculated about aliens.
One, with the user name Grolt posted: "So UFOs don't go to Japan, Korea, Russia, China, Germany, USA or any other high tech place... they come to Toowoomba."
The light looks too slow to be a meteor or fireball, and even too slow to be a bit of space junk returning to Earth and burning up in the atmosphere.
Professor Jonti Horner
But, astronomer professor Jonti Horner believes he may know what it was.
He said: "The light looks too slow to be a meteor or fireball, and even too slow to be a bit of space junk returning to Earth and burning up in the atmosphere.
"The International Space Station is really bright, brighter than the brightest stars, and quite slow moving - and can be quite spectacular.
"The video is a bit blurry, but I think that's the most likely explanation - it looks right to me."

What on God’s green earth was that? NSRI on the lookout after 'UFO' spotted off Jeffreys Bay
What on God’s green earth was that? NSRI on the lookout after 'UFO' spotted off Jeffreys Bay
NSRI said the institute’s Port Elizabeth station was asked by Air Traffic Control to investigate the sighting of “an unidentified flying object”. Image by: Chris Harvey / Getty Images/Hemera
A mysterious green unidentified flying object had rescue officials on alert in Jeffreys Bay on Monday night
National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) spokesman Craig Lambinon said the institute’s Port Elizabeth station was asked by Air Traffic Control to investigate the sighting of “an unidentified flying object” at about 9.30pm.
“A Boeing 737 cargo aircraft captain and co-pilot‚ flying from Cape Town International Airport to Port Elizabeth International Airport‚ reported seeing what appeared to be a green object increasing in altitude past the cockpit of their aeroplane reaching to about 1000 feet into clouds above them and then returning towards earth at high speed past the cockpit of the aeroplane‚” he said.
The sighting was reported to Air Traffic Control in Port Elizabeth‚ where officials asked the NSRI to investigate the possibility that an aircraft or craft in difficulty.
The incident occurred about 10 nautical miles off-shore of Jeffreys Bay and about 1 000m in the sky.
Officials soon dismissed initial suggestions that it was a 300m green parachute flare as these flares cannot reach that height.
“NSRI Jeffreys Bay were alerted and although the matter was monitored throughout the night the green object has not been seen since and there are no reports of anyone‚ or craft or aircraft overdue or missing‚” Lambinon said.
“No further reports of sightings have been received and the incident remains a mystery.”
Joe Sheahan is in the fight of his life to save his family’s Nevada mine from being swallowed up by the federal government's mysteriousArea 51.
Technically, Sheahan’s family no longer even holds title to Groom Mine, which it owned for 130 years. The federal government took the deed through eminent domain after first offering the Sheahans $333,300, a price family lawyer James Leavitt called “embarrassingly low.” The family is fighting back in federal court, but if the Sheahans and Uncle Sam can’t agree on a value, it could wind up before a jury.
Possibly more interesting is what the federal government wants with a parched stretch of rural Nevada desert and an old mine that hasn’t been active in decades. The area is known for two of the feds’ most closely guarded secrets: nuclear testing and UFOs.
So far, the family has not been paid for the land. Initially, the family was sued by the federal government in September of 2015 in a complaint case of eminent domain. A few days later the government then filed a motion to take the over the property. Now, Appraisal reports are being exchanged in the discovery phase of the litigation. If the parties cannot reach a sufficient value for the land, the Sheahans are prepared to fight it in a jury trial.
The mine hasn’t been in full operation since 1954, but until fall of 2015 family members went out from time to time to blast for minerals. The 400 acres of land sits almost 6,000 feet above sea level with panoramic views of the surrounding Groom Mountain Range and borders the Nevada Test and Training Range, which includes Area 51. According to Sheahan, his family’s land had always been highly sought after by the U.S. Air Force base looking to expand its flight-testing range, “They told me the land was like a suit hemmed in too tight that needed to breathe, that’s why they want our land“ Sheahan said.
Sheahan told Fox News that Air Force officials started showing up unannounced on the property in the 40’s and 50’s, intimidating his grandparents. He said his family complained to the Air Force, but nothing happened. Then nuclear tests came without warning. According to the Las Vegas Review Journal archives, on Jan. 27, 1951, the Air Force detonated the first above-ground test on land next to the Groom Mine. Sheahan says his family wasn’t told about the test. “This bomb goes off, who do you call, who do you Google, there’s no one … those blasts did significant damage to the property, not only in radiation,” he said. Sheahan claims family members and mine workers suffered long-term radiation effects and says some livestock died from beta burns.
In the winter of 2014, government officials from the Department of Defense and the U.S. Air Force approached the Sheahan family about purchasing the property. At that time, Sheahan and other family members had never had the property appraised but he says the family thought offers of $2.4 million, $5.2 million, and $1.5 million from the Air Force were too low and so they rejected them. “We’re not going to sit down with those numbers at the table.” said Sheahan.
The Air Force confiscated the property on Sept. 16, 2015 through a federal court ruling in US District Court in Nevada. The family had three outside experts appraise the property after the seizure. Due to its proximity to Area 51 and the mineral rights to the land, each appraiser recognized the “unique value” of the property and came to the conclusion that the real value of the land was worth upwards of $44 million to $116 million dollars, Leavitt told Fox News.
In a statement on Nov. 9, 2016 obtained by Fox News, a prior commander at Nellis Air Force Base, Col. Thomas E. Dempsey explained the reason for seizing the land; “Over the years, technology has increased demand for the test and training range assets and the Air Force has developed infrastructure that directly supports range activities that cannot be replicated elsewhere.”
Leavitt is fighting to get the family just compensation, which real estate expert and Fox News Legal Analyst Bob Massi explains as “an objective understanding of the value of that property.”
Fox News reached out for a comment from Justice Department, which is representing the Air Force but was told by deputy press secretary Wyn Hornbuckle the department will not comment on pending litigation.
Freelance local investigative reporter Glen Meek has been researching the Sheahan case since the government seized the land and is making a documentary about the land dispute. He noted government’s unwillingness to provide answers and boiled it down to two major fundamental issues - individual rights and national security, saying “the government’s position is pretty much, the testing that’s going on there now is incompatible with civilians having private land in that area.”
The case is currently in discovery. Sheahan says he is a God-loving American and does not want to be portrayed as unpatriotic but wants his family to receive just compensation. Sheahan and Leavitt expect a late spring or early summer court date where a jury will decide on the matter of just compensation.
Famous footage of a possible cow abduction from 1983. (Not an incident Mr Mooner claims to have filmed or been present at.)
A man claims to have witnessed a UFO "the size of a transit van" trying to abduct cows in Devon. He believes the aliens were motivated by a desire to harvest the animals' genetic material.
John Mooner said: "I was watching a train pass by in the distance, when I spotted a black object slowly moving along the tree line and at first I thought it was an helicopter. I could only hear the passing train and thought to myself that's strange it can't be an helicopter there's no sound of the rotors.
"I estimated that the object must of been the size of a large transit van. I watched as the object began to slowly descend into a field. Once it had landed the black object just sat there as if waiting for something to arrive. To my amazement the black object then went completely invisible.
"I wanted to go over there to investigate but it was to far away and I did not have a boat to get across the water. My guess is that the object was waiting for the farmer to bring his livestock into the field so they could abducted some of the poor animals to kill for genetic material.
"The farmer would not of seen this large object and would of [sic] left the field thinking his animals were safe. But the aliens were there all along waiting for the opportunity to strike and take their pickings. Spooky."
Mooner, a self-described "ufologist", has purportedly seen scores of extra-terrestrial spaceships over the years. He made the most recent claims to an Exeter newspaper.
CHEVRON SHAPED ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTER IN CALIFORNIA
DECEMBER 4, 2016 ………HUNTINGTON BEACH CALIFORNIA
Time: 22:40
Duration:10-15 seconds
Sighting City: Huntington Beach
Sighting State: CA
Sighting Zip: 92648
Sighting Country: USA
Sighting County: Orange
Witnesses: 1
Shape: Chevron
Number of Craft:1
Description: Fast-moving craft with gray lights over suburban Huntington Beach.
Description:
“I’d just stepped out of my friend’s house after a comedic session of Dungeons & Dragons. We’d watched TV, talked about video games, the usual for our age group. A normal Sunday night. I was the last one to leave. I didn’t expect to see something in the sky, but then again, I don’t think anyone does. It was one of those rare cloudless nights where LA’s famous light pollution doesn’t ruin a decent view of the stars over the suburbs. I’m originally from a very small town, so I don’t take celestial beauty for granted. I looked up at the sky to admire the stars, and that’s when I saw it.
My first thought was “airplane”, but this was immediately replaced by “drone?” because it was too fast for a commercial flight, and completely silent. And then I thought that it couldn’t have been a drone, because again, it was completely silent, and the most common drones are quadcopters.
This thing was in the shape of a chevron, and dark gray. It was a little larger than the moon, which was slightly farther away. Another thing that perplexed me besides the speed were the lights. Three of them, one on each wing end and one under the middle corner, unblinking, and a dim gray. I’ve never seen gray lights in my life. The chevron was headed southeast, when suddenly, without slowing down, it made a sharp, tight U-turn, pivoted, and disappeared before my eyes.
I didn’t blink, I didn’t look away for a second, and there were no clouds for it to hide behind. It was there, and then it was gone. I don’t think we have the technology to make planes turn the way this thing did.”
“The meteor began 46 miles above the Gulf of Mexico and 8 miles from Sarasote”, says Bill Cooke.
A meteor lit up the Florida sky for brief moments before exploding into tiny pieces. The giant fireball began its descend above the state’s west coast soon after dark. A number of panicking citizens grabbed the phone and immediately alerted the North Port Police Department. Upon answering the multiple calls, police officers found themselves investigating what at first looked like a UFO threat.
Numerous individuals even considered that a UFO invasion might take place. Fortunately, there was no reason for such concerns. The locals were only seeing a harmless meteorite bursting into flames upon entering the Earth’s atmosphere.
AMERICAN METEOR SOCIETY’S REPORT
According to a group of individuals with the American Meteor Society, approximately 150 Florida residents saw the meteorite dropping to Earth. They were mainly stationed south of Florida Panhandle, in Key West. The mystery of the unidentified object revolved around its unusual brightness, in particular.
The incident was also captured by some dashcams. One recording comes straight from the North Port Police Department (NPPD) itself. NPPD uploaded the footage on the official police station’s Facebook page, only moments after the event. The police officers on duty who captured the images were lightheartedly joking about the likelihood of an alien encounter.
NASA OFFICIAL REPORT
The video featured on the official NPPD Facebook page currently has over 80,000 views. Multiple users are joking about the whole incident. However, many others believe that a transformer blew up in the area, causing the bright flash. Among them was also a police officer with the NPPD. Although, upon closely inspecting the footage several times, he changed his mind.
The Marshall Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama, one of many NASA facilities issued an official report on the matter. The bright object was nothing but a baseball-sized meteorite traveling at speeds exceeding 40,000. The official name of this kind of meteor is bolide, according to NASA. On November 21st, 2016, the bolide entered the Earth atmosphere around 11:18 p.m. It burst into flames shortly after, due to the atmosphere’s effect on fast-traveling objects.
Scientists say that they have also identified the cause of the bright flash. Upon re-entry, the celestial object experienced rapid evaporation of carbon dioxide and ice.
“The meteor began 46 miles above the Gulf of Mexico and 8 miles from Sarasote”, says Bill Cooke. He is the manager of the Meteoroid Environments Office.
SIMILAR EVENTS
Another occurrence much like this one took place several years ago, back in 2013. However, one major difference consists in the larger sizes of the rock which exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia. The celestial object was, in fact, a superbolide with a total mass of approximately 13,000 metric tons.
The explosion which following the re-entry was estimated to have a kinetic energy equal to roughly 30 atomic bombs. Even though nobody was seriously injured in the incident, several buildings in Chelyabinsk suffered substantial damage.
The Florida meteor exploded roughly 15 miles above the Earth. Also, apart from the scare, the incident was harmless. Furthermore, NASA experts also say that this is nothing new. Hence, Florida citizens should get used to these events.
It's not every day that a freedom of information request is this good, butrecently released FBI docshave it all: flying saucers, private meetings with intelligence officers, and a mysterious plane crash. By successfully requesting the file of noted conspiracy man and authorFred Lee Crisman, journalist Michael Best has identified a truly remarkable find: a real life X-file.
Long before the 90s show made us want to believe, the released documents in Fred Crisman’s file, labeled SM-X (Security Matter–X), made it all way to the director of the FBI at the time, J. Edgar Hoover. They contain investigation details belonging to one of the first cases of the American paranormal activity mythos. The FBI became involved in a case that was fueled by a post-war media raring to publish incredible stories in a world getting used to accelerating technological advancement. Much like today’s shifting media landscape, the early days of paranormal investigation were easy to take advantage of.
The events that were documented by the FBI in Crisman’s file are known as the Maury Island UFO hoax of June, 1947. Crisman was involved with “high weirdness,” according to a post by Best, that swirled around an island near Puget Sound, Washington. The reports helped solidify the imagery behind a couple of the UFO tropes we know and love. It was an early example of how folklore can turn very quickly into fake news and get widespread attention.
I asked Best about his thoughts as to why the files—which, the FBI has long claimeddo not exist—were named in such a way that, in complete coincidence, aligned with the paranormal show The X-Files. “I'm not sure, but if I had to guess it would be something like X for unknowns (as in variables),” he said to me in a Twitter message.
Crisman’s story of flying discs first appeared on the pages of the Tacoma Times in August. The reporter at the paper published the claims of Crisman and his business associate, Harold Dahl. Dahl was quoted as saying that, while patrolling the waters by boat near Maury Island, he witnessed multiple donut shaped discs appear in the sky. One of the discs, Dahl claimed, ejected molten material and allegedly crashed into and damaged the boat he was on. Dahl then explained that a person in a dark suit subsequently approached the scene and told them to keep quiet about the events. To many UFO historians, this was the beginning of the “Men in Black” conspiracy.
In an interview found in the FBI file, Crisman said he returned to the damaged boat the next day, where he collected ‘disc fragments' that became central to a hoax that spun widely out of control.
The FBI report included in the released documents explained that Crisman and Dahl sent samples of the ‘disc fragments’ to Chicago paranormal investigator Raymond Palmer for analysis. Palmer, who originally worked for Ziff-Davis’ Amazing Stories, was deeply involved in the earliest days of 20th century flying saucer myths and went on to publish Fate Magazine, which still investigates claims of the supernatural today.
After being notified by Palmer, Kenneth Arnold, a pilot who claimed to have witnessed the first widely publicised UFO sighting, got in touch with Dahl and Crisman. He travelled to Washington and arranged a meeting at the Winthrop Hotel in Tacoma with him, the two witnesses, and two Air Force intelligence officers.
This is where the story gets even weirder.
A day after the meeting with UFO witnesses, the B-25 Bomber carrying the two air force officers crashed and both were killed. Media immediately published the conclusions of anonymous phone calls (which were probably from Crisman, according to FBI findings detailed in the released documents) that the plane was carrying the disc fragments and it was deliberately shot down in a UFO cover up.
Those details were reported widely as fact by outlets like the Tacoma Times and Boise Statesman. The story made it all the way to the Chicago Times, which would become the Sun-Times the next year.
Of course, the FBI concluded the entire thing was a hoax for attention, with agents writing that there were no fragments on the plane. The flight, it said, came down due to an engine failure. Years later, Dahl eventually admitted the deception to a reporterafter being cajoled by his wife.
The FBI theorized that the explanation was much simpler than UFOs and government conspiracies. It was about money. The investigations found that Crisman and Dahl sought payment from the media outlets who wrote about their tall tale. It’s a slightly different refrain of today’s fake news issue, with greed inspiring the manipulation of mass communication.
This wouldn’t be the last America would hear of Fred Crisman. He would be later subpoenaed by Jim Garrison in the investigation of JFK assassination. During the federal investigation, forensic anthropologists had fingered him as being one of the “three tramps” arrested by Dallas PD on the same day as shooting of the president. He was later exonerated by the House Select Committee on Assassination. In the 60s, according to Aaron Gulyas in his book, The Paranormal and the Paranoid: Conspiratorial Science Fiction Television, Harold Dahl wrote to a UFO investigator that the show The Invaders had elements that were very similar to Crisman’s life and stories.
That isn’t to say the eventual rise of paranormal investigation was all bad. The same paranormal media outlets become known for skepticism and science. Fate magazine was not afraid to debunk the hoaxes or scams it covered in its investigations into the supernatural.
You can only hope our media outlets maintain that level of skepticism today.

Eerste 360°-livestream op Facebook toont hoe 'Marsbewoners' na 80 dagen basis verlaten - HLN.be
FACEBOOKFacebook start vandaag met livestreams van 360 gradenvideo's. National Geographic bijt de spits af met beelden van de bewoners die het Mars Desert Research Station verlaten, meldtTweakers.net.
De livestreams werken op dezelfde manier als bestaande 360 gradenvideo's. Op een computer kan je rondkijken via muisbewegingen, op een smartphone beweeg je gewoon het toestel of sleep je met je vinger.
De eerste uitzending start vanavond om 21.00 uur op de Facebookpagina van National Geographic. Dan mogen de bewoners van het Mars Desert Research Station voor het eerst naar buiten, na een tachtig dagen lange simulatie van het leven op Mars.
De functie is daarna niet meteen beschikbaar voor iedereen. Facebook geeft aan dat een onbekend aantal andere pagina's in de komende maanden zal volgen, maar dat in de loop van 2017 alle pagina's en profielen aan de beurt komen.
Het ijs van Groenland zou wel eens heel wat minder stabiel kunnen zijn dan oorspronkelijk gedacht. Dat blijkt uit een studie die werden gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Nature. Ze onderzocht de bodem onder de massieve ijslaag en ontdekte dat het ijs minstens één keer gesmolten moet zijn geweest in de jongste 2,6 miljoen jaar. Over 2.500 jaar zou dat opnieuw het geval kunnen zijn. De zeespiegel zou dan zeven meter stijgen.
De studie gebruikte zogenaamde radioactieve isotopen om te schatten hoe lang de bodem onder het ijs ooit blootgesteld was aan de atmosfeer en kosmische straling. Die straling doet radionucliden ontstaan zoals beryllium-10 en aluminium-26 en die kunnen worden gemeten.
Bodem Het team van paleoklimatoloog Joerg Schaefer van het Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York ontdekte dat de bodem van centraal Groenland op zeker moment effectief ijsvrij moet zijn geweest. Wanneer exact of voor hoe lang konden de wetenschappers (nog) niet bepalen. Het is mogelijk dat de ijsvrije periode 1,1 miljoen jaar geleden begon en 280.000 jaar duurde, aldus Schaefer.
Een ander team onder leiding van geomorfoloog Paul Bierman van de universiteit van Vermont in Burlington kwam tot de conclusie dat het ijs op de bergtoppen in het oosten van Groenland er wel al zeker 7,5 miljoen jaar moet liggen. Dat is volgens experts niet noodzakelijk in tegenspraak met de eerste studie: het ijs kan overal in Groenland gesmolten zijn, behalve op de hoogst gelegen delen. Mocht het ijs op die bergtoppen tot 5 of 10 procent geslonken zijn, zou de rest van Groenland al vrij zijn geweest.
Stalen De volgende stap is nu nieuwe stalen proberen te bemachtigen en dat kan dankzij een nieuwe generatie van ijsboren die momenteel wordt ontwikkeld. Die zouden een snelle toegang moeten geven tot de rotsen onder het ijs van Groenland.

Shock claims massive ancient civilisation lies frozen deep beneath the Antarctic ice — and could even be Atlantis
Shock claims massive ancient civilisation lies frozen deep beneath the Antarctic ice — and could even be Atlantis
Could there be a secret city under Antarctica?

THERE might just be a hidden city frozen underneath Antarctica, according to shock claims.
The huge continent is an icy mass, and is currently only inhabited by scientific researchers and penguins thanks to its freezing temperatures, reports The Sun.
Rumours of a hidden city have been floating about for years, as conspiracy theorists and even some scientists claim the freezing continent is actually the home of the legendary Lost City of Atlantis.
One scientific theory claims that once upon a time Antarctica was ice-free and home to an ancient civilisation.
The theory, called crustal displacement, alleges that movements in the Earth’s crust meant that large parts of Antarctica were ice-free 12,000 years ago and people could have lived there.
Allegedly, a society could have existed “prehistory”, coming to an end with the last Ice Age which froze over the continent.
And this could have been Atlantis, a mythical city founded by people who were half god and half human which was first mentioned by Greek philosopher Plato in 360BC.
It’s a lofty theory, but one with plenty of intrigue.

Speculation over the location of the legendary long-lost city is rife, with others believing it to have been near the Greek island of Santorini.
Antarctica’s secret city was apparently “confirmed” by an ancient map called the Piri Reis map, compiled in 1513 from military intelligence.
It appears to show the Antarctic coast hundreds of years before it was discovered, but was denounced by many scholars at the time.
However, earlier this year photos from NASA appeared to reveal traces of a human settlement underneath the ice.
The pictures, taken using remote sensing photography for NASA’s Operation IceBridge mission to Antarctica, show what online sleuths believe could be a city.
Google Earth images also appeared to show a pyramid poking out of the tundra, with enthusiasts claiming that it is proof humanity once lived in the area and built a man-made structure.
Conspiracy theorists went wild earlier this year when a video claiming to be from the lost city emerged.
It appeared to show extensive ancient ruins hidden in the ice, and was a video supposedly “left behind” by a California TV crew who have been missing since 2002.
Archaeologist Jonathan Gray claimed that the US government is trying to block the video from being seen because it reveals there is a “massive archaeological dig under way two miles beneath the ice”.

But that’s not the wildest claim — with several online websites claiming that there is a city in Antarctica and Hitler knew about it, making it a secret Nazi base.
The wild claims state that the Nazis claimed an area of Antarctica as German territory and sent an expedition there.
They then allegedly mapped the area and discovered a network of rivers and caves, one of which led to a large geothermal lake.
A city-sized base was built there, called “Base 22 or New Berlin”, and supposedly was home to not only Nazis but also the Illuminati.
However, things get even weirder, with suggestions that the Germans discovered abandoned alien technology or contacted aliens, and used it to make super weapons.
And some people think the rumoured base still exists, with the Germans, aliens, and the Illuminati planning to launch a New World Order from it.
Whatever beings may be inhabiting the base, they’ll need to make sure to wrap up warm — with one unlucky Antarctic explorer revealing this week he is suffering from the painful-sounding condition Polar Penis.

The ‘Lost City’ of Antarctica Shock Claims Massive Ancient Civilization Lies Frozen Beneath Mile of Antarctic Ice – and Could Even Be Atlantis
The ‘Lost City’ of Antarctica Shock Claims Massive Ancient Civilization Lies Frozen Beneath Mile of Antarctic Ice – and Could Even Be Atlantis
Stillness in the Storm Editor:It is quite interesting that the day after Corey Goode and David Wilcock release their update saying that the media will begin to feature stories regarding the discovery of ancient ruins found beneath the ice of Antarctica, the following article is published. It talks about many of the same elements as was discussed by Wilcock and Goode, but does not explicitly state that their update was the source for The Sun article.
The Sun is a UK daily tabloid newspaper, which means that wild and fringe stories regularly appear there, and as a result, information is often disregarded by the masses merely by being showcased in the magazine. Therefore, this coverage could be part of a “damage control” effort to smear those treating the story of ancient ruins in the southernmost continent seriously.
Goode said in his update that an active campaign to discredit secret space program whistleblowers has already begun.
I was able to confirm through other sources that these three individuals were not attempting to discredit me. I then contacted them for a full download. (source)
Goode and Wilcock also discussed a partial disclosure agenda that is actively being pushed at the moment. It involves the release of only some of the whole truth that has been intentionally withheld from the public for centuries, such as crimes against humanity, child trafficking, and pedophilia, the existence of extraterrestrial presences and history, free energy and antigravity technology, and much more.
Under the partial disclosure plan, certain aspects of what has been hidden will be revealed to satisfy the growing demand for the truth within the awakening masses. But the full data set will remain hidden for at least 100 years, ensuring that the most damning information that implicates criminal elements within society escape the people’s justice. These same criminal elements are the ones behind the secret space program, the banking system, destruction of the environment, and the exploitation of the Earth and beyond.
WHAT IS PARTIAL DISCLOSURE SHAPING UP TO LOOK LIKE?
The Partial Disclosure plan includes some admission of wrong-doing, an outing and punishing of mid-level people, and a beneficial global financial reset.
The cosmic aspect of the plan appears to involve three key revelations, perhaps in different stages:
A formal, public disclosure of the MIC SSP. They have two large, cloaked orbital platforms, flying black triangle craft, and the ability to travel throughout our solar system.
The unveiling of ancient, high-tech ruins in Antarctica that have been newly excavated. This will prove that “Atlantis” was very real, and far more advanced than we thought.
The revealing of extremely ancient ruins – over 1.8 billion years old – within the Earth and throughout our solar system, often made of a crystalline transparent aluminum alloy.
Although this sounds pretty and would be a great leap forward, this is still only a “Partial Disclosure” that leaves gaping holes in our understanding. (source)
Assuming that the above claims by Goode are true, the following article by The Sun would service two goals. For now, it will act as a way to discredit people talking about ancient ruins and secret bases in Antarctica (Goode and other whistleblowers), even though former astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Secretary of State John Kerry both went there recently.
Later, after Goode and other SSP whistleblowers, like William Tompkins, have been thoroughly discredited, an official disclosure of the Antarctic ruins can begin, likely involving exposé’s of documented evidence, like videos, photographs, and artifacts.
This more official disclosure will come from hand-picked operatives within another secret space program run by the military industrial complex (MIC) that is far less aware of all the activities occurring on Earth and beyond. Goode contends that this MIC SSP is completely unaware of the greater SSP, which has colonies all throughout the solar system, trade agreements with over 900 extraterrestrial groups, and has technology that is similar to what is depicted in the science fiction series Star Trek. Humanity has the ability to travel the stars with great speed and precision.
What ultimately plays out remains unclear, but there are too many correlations between the full disclosure narrative and the below article to dismiss them as coincidence.

Ligt er een verloren stad onder het ijs van Antarctica?
Ligt er een verloren stad onder het ijs van Antarctica?
Sommigen beweren dat onder het ijs van Antarctica mogelijk een verborgen stad kan worden gevonden. Dat schrijft nieuwssite News.com.au.
Er doen al jaren geruchten de ronde over een verborgen stad. Complottheoretici en zelfs sommige wetenschappers claimen dat het weleens zou kunnen gaan om Atlantis.
Volgens een theorie was Antarctica zo’n 12.000 jaar geleden ijsvrij en leefde er een oude beschaving.
Piri Reis-kaart
Die beschaving zou Atlantis hebben gebouwd, een mythische stad waarover de Griekse filosoof Plato al in 360 voor Christus schreef.
Er wordt de laatste jaren druk gespeculeerd over de locatie van de legendarische stad. Sommigen geloven dat de stad zich bij het Griekse eiland Santorini bevindt.
Op de Piri Reis-kaart uit 1513 is de kust van Antarctica al te zien, honderden jaren voordat het continent officieel werd ontdekt.
Piramide
Eerder dit jaar zouden op foto’s van de NASA sporen van een menselijke nederzetting onder het ijs zijn gevonden.
Er wordt gezegd dat op de foto’s van de Operation IceBridge-missie een stad is te zien. Eerder claimden sommigen op Google Earth een piramide te hebben ontdekt op Antarctica.
Begin dit jaar dook er een filmpje op dat volgens complottheoretici was gemaakt in de verloren stad.
Vermist
De beelden zouden zijn gemaakt door een cameraploeg uit Californië die sinds 2002 wordt vermist.
Archeoloog Jonathan Gray claimde dat de Amerikaanse overheid probeert te voorkomen dat het filmpje wordt verspreid.
Hitler
Diverse websites claimen zelfs dat Hitler al op de hoogte was van het bestaan van de stad en er een geheime nazi-basis van maakte.
Deze basis zou ‘Basis 22 of Nieuw-Berlijn’ zijn genoemd en naast nazi’s ook de Illuminati hebben gehuisvest.
In oktober werden nog resten van een nazi-basis gevonden in het Noordpoolgebied.
Op internet circuleren beelden van wat volgens sommigen kilometers hoge gebouwen op Mars zijn, schrijft de Daily Express.
Het YouTube-kanaal Mundodesconocido vestigde als eerste de aandacht op de ontdekking. Volgens het kanaal zouden de structuren gebouwd kunnen zijn door intelligente aliens.
“Tijdens ons onderzoek naar beelden van Mars troffen we onlangs een rij enorme torens aan in het gebied rond Terra Meridiani,” valt te lezen in de beschrijving van de video, die inmiddels ruim een half miljoen keer is bekeken.
Meer dan een kilometer
“De vreemde eigenschappen van de torens doen ons vermoeden dat ze een buitenaardse oorsprong hebben,” klonk het verder.
Scott C. Waring van de website UFO Sightings Daily zei dat de rode planeet vol staat met gebouwen.
“YouTube-gebruiker Mundodesconocido geeft hier een fantastisch voorbeeld,” zei hij. “Hij ontdekte drie torens die meer dan een kilometer hoog lijken te zijn.”
Rotsformaties
Eerder dachten alienjagers al ommuurde steden en nederzettingen te hebben gevonden op Mars.
Wetenschappers van de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA claimen dat het slechts ongewone rotsformaties zijn.
Zij zeggen dat de vermeende ontdekkingen het gevolg zijn van pareidolie, waarbij dingen die gezien worden op een abnormale, met veel fantasie gepaard gaande wijze worden geïnterpreteerd.
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.
