Future Mars Residents May Live in a Home Made of Ice
Future Mars Residents May Live in a Home Made of Ice
Want to Live on Mars? We have the ice house for you. NASA is crowd-sourcing ideas for future Martian habitats and the leading design is essentially a modified igloo. That’s right, the first humans to inhabit Mars, may reside inhomes made of ice.
Last month, a research team from the University of Texas announced that Mars is hiding a secret supply of water just below its surface. They reported that a region on Mars known as Utopia Planitia is harboring as much water as Lake Superior here on Earth — only difference is the Martian reserves are frozen solid.
The ice reservoir is located a mid-northern latitudes — which means it’s about halfway between the equator and the poles — and is reportedly the size of New Mexico. Even though the supply may be buried under a layer of regolith ranging from 3 to 33 feet deep, this finding is still excellent news for a group at NASA’s Langley Engineering Design Studio in Hampton, Virginia.
Mars has reserves of water-ice that rival Lake Superior.
In 2015 NASA put out a call in the form of a centennial challenge, asking for teams to submit potential habitat designs as part of a national competition. Team Space Exploration Architecture and Clouds Architecture Office won first place for their idea of building a Mars Ice House.
The design team won a $25,000 prize and has been working with NASA Langley to further develop their habitat. The modified igloo is a deployable habitat that makes good use of resources currently on the red planet — namely water-ice. This means that less materials will need to be launched from Earth, keeping the construction costs down.
Artist conception of the Mars Ice House.
One of the biggest concerns with future human missions to mars is how will we shield our astronauts from harmful radiation? While previous habitat designs have focused on building shelter underground or developing some sort of shielding, the Mars Ice House could protect its residents without any additional features. Water-ice is a great barrier against galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), which are one of the main threats to human health on long-duration Mars missions.
Pure water-ice, which is readily available on the red planet, will serve as the main material for the Ice Home’s shielding and structure. Carbon dioxide gas would be extracted from the Martian atmosphere and used as insulation between blocks of water and blocks of ice that make up the habitat. As such, the structure would be transparent, which could make future inhabitants feel more like they are living in a home, rather than a dark cave.
A view of the interior.
The current design features a cozy habitat built for four with room for sleeping quarters, a kitchen, work areas and recreation areas. The design team says that the materials used to build the house would allow for the temperature to remain a cool, comfy 72 degrees Fahrenheit inside, no matter what the weather was like on Mars.

Full Report
On the night of January 22/23, 1950, near the Bering Sea at Kodiak, Alaska, Navy patrol pilot Lt. Smith made a routine security flight. At 2:40 a.m., he obtained a radar reading of an object 20 miles north, which quickly vanished. Eight minutes later, he picked up either the same or a different object. He radioed Kodiak to learn that no known aircraft were in the area. The Kodiak radar officer then reported that he was receiving interference, the likes of which he had never experienced.
At about 3 a.m., the USS Tillamock was south of Kodiak when one of the men on deck saw “a very fast moving red glow light, which appeared to be of exhaust nature.” The object came from the southeast, moved clockwise in a large circle around Kodiak, and returned to the southeast. Another officer came out to look, saw it in view for 30 seconds, and described it as like “a large ball of orange fire.” No sound came from the source of the light.
At 4:40 a.m. Lt. Smith, still on airborne patrol and experiencing no radar problems, now picked up another blip on his radar – so fast that it left a trail on his screen. Smith called his crew, who immediately saw the object close a five mile gap in ten seconds, an apparent speed of 1,800 mph. He tried to pursue the object, but it was too maneuverable. Witnesses described two orange lights that rotated around a common center. At some point the object made a sharp turn and headed directly toward Smith’s plane. He “considered this to be a highly threatening gesture” and turned off his lights. The UFO flew by and disappeared.
At least 36 copies of the Navy’s detailed report were sent to various security agencies, including the CIA, FBI, Air Force Intelligence, and the Department of State. None of these copies were ever released or published, although a truncated FBI copy surfaced in the 1970s as the result of a Freedom of Information Act request. The document’s explanation: “the objects must be regarded as phenomena . . . the exact nature of which could not be determined.”1
And yet publicly, the Air Force had stopped investigating UFOs. Air Force Captain Edward Ruppelt, who later headed Project Blue Book – the Air Force’s official UFO investigative body – claimed that UFO investigations at this time rated “minimum effort.” The old Project Grudge files, he said, had been “chucked into an old storage case,” and many reports were missing when he sifted through them a few years later. What, then, of the Kodiak case? We do not know the military’s response to this, but Ruppelt noted that early in 1950, the Director of Air Force Intelligence (one of the recipients of the Kodiak report) sent a letter to Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) indicating that he had never issued any order to end Project Grudge. ATIC replied weakly that it had not actually disbanded Grudge, but merely transferred its project functions and no longer considered it a special project. It is possible that the Kodiak incident sparked this exchange.
A couple of scientists have considered how the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is conducted and, working off the idea that sufficiently advanced alien beings would at least attempt to build defensive structures around their world to defend against potentially catastrophic extraplanetary threats, suggest that one way such beings might be found would be through their defense systems. In fact, the scientists contend, the aliens would not necessarily have to be much more advanced than humans.
Inverse reported recently that Milan Cirkovic and Branislav Vukotic of the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade have suggested in a study that searching for defensive structures that guard against something as devastating as a nearby (exploding) dying star could potentially lead to the discovery of intelligent alien beings. The duo posits that intelligent beings not much more advanced than humanity could erect artificial barriers or perhaps some type of megastructure to thwart an incoming threat like a gamma-ray blast or the expended electromagnetic energy of an exploding supernova.
Cirkovic and Vukotic write in the paper (per Business Insider), “For the present purposes, we note that no part of any spiral galaxy [like our Milky Way] can be considered safe from cosmic explosions in the long run. And as the timeframe considered by an intelligent species grows longer, more relevant becomes the issue of mitigation.”
Such mitigation would include planetary defense systems, something that our own planet has yet to develop but, Cirkovic and Vukotic believe, is well within humanity’s technological reach within the next century. An alien civilization just a few decades or more technologically advanced might have thought of and created such forms of mitigation already.
Such defense systems could be found much the same way as exoplanets are detected, by studying and recording the dimming of stars, a method known as transiting. The scientists suggest that there are observables to look for that could distinguish what they refer to as “shielding swarms” (like asteroids) from exoplanets: The mass of the shield construct would be the size of a planet with a great deal less mass than it should have; the structure will not obey the natural laws of motion; unusual optical properties (like infra-red absorption); and anomalous planetary reactions within a system affected by a supernova (derived from historical data).
As Inverse pointed out, the discovery of the mysterious dimming star, KIC 8462852, had scientists speculating that the effect could be caused by mitigating phenomena like planets, swarms of comets, and even a Dyson sphere (a theoretical artificial construct that would surround a star and harness its energy). And the Inquisitr reported in September that the latest theory behind the dimming was that the star was being occluded by an interstellar band of space rock and debris.
An alien civilization not far removed from constructing a Dyson sphere would be capable of building massive defense systems to protect the home world, making them detectable to interstellar observers. [Image by vrx/Shutterstock]
The Cirkovic and Vukotic paper appears to be an extension of the alien megastructure idea, that where one might find something resembling an artificial formation — whether it be a manufactured sphere or a shield of unnaturally aligned asteroids — that could be used as a defense, one might just find a nearby intelligent alien civilization.
From artificial worlds to behemoth city megastructures, it is truly unknown what constructs alien civilizations might build, and that is if intelligent aliens exist at all. [Image by diversepixel/Shutterstock]
If nothing else, the paper, which was published in Acta Astronautica, provides yet another method, along with the current searches for extraterrestrial transmissions and tell-tale atmospheric biosignatures, for detecting extraterrestrial intelligence.
Of course, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence has been going on for centuries, but the formalized and collective push to find intelligence came about when Dr. Frank Drake, the scientist that formulated the now famous Drake Equation for calculating the number of extant alien civilizations capable to extraplanetary communication within the Milky Way, pointed a radio telescope from the Greenbank Observatory in West Virginia at the distant stars stars Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani. His efforts, along with contributions from thousands of others, morphed into what would become SETI and the SETI Institute, the mission of which is to continue the search for alien extra-solar intelligence.

A NASA scientist has warned that comets arcing through our Solar System could pose more of a threat (or at least as much of one) than asteroids that are constantly in the headlines as being a potential danger to life on Earth as we know it. And there are several reasons why a comet headed on a collision course with our planet could be far more devastating, perhaps even producing an extinction level event not seen in tens of millions of years.
Live Science reported recently that the warning has gone out that not only is Earth totally unprepared for defending itself against an imminent asteroid strike but that comets on a collision trajectory would also likely pose greater risks to the planet. Such a collision might even result in the extinction of a majority, if not all, of the major living organisms on Earth.
NASA scientist Dr. Joseph Nuth of the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, during a news conference at the annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) held in San Francisco where he made a presentation on the asteroid deflection capabilities and possibilities currently available, suggested that scientists and policymakers should broaden the scope of the potential dangers to Earth hurtling through the Solar System. He said that comets, though often dismissed, are an ever-present threat and it was time that they, too, be considered when taking measures to protect against extra-planetary-generated impacts.
“Comets have largely been ignored by people that are interested in defending the planet.”
The primary reason comets aren’t given their due, Nuth said, was the perception that little can be done to stop comets. This is in part due to the difficulty astronomers have in spotting and tracking them.
“A comet comes out of nowhere, pretty much,” Nuth said during his presentation a few hours prior to the press conference.
In fact, the last near-miss comet, Siding Spring, buzzed Mars, coming to within 87,000 miles (140,000 kilometers) of our neighboring planet. And earlier this year, an asteroid or comet slammed into Jupiter, an event caught on camera by an amateur astronomer, according to CBS News.

But Earth has to worry about comets the size of Shoemaker-Levy 9, the comet that disintegrated in the atmosphere of Jupiter in 1994 after it was caught by the gas giant’s gravitational field. Scientists estimated, according to a Shoemaker-Levy 9 question and answer webpage set up by Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas, the size of the original comet from the fragments that fell to Jupiter as being approximately 3 miles (5 kilometers) to 6 miles (10 kilometers) across. (In his presentation, when Nuth spoke of giant asteroids that Earth needed to defend against, he referenced, as was reported by the Inquisitr, the “dinosaur killer” asteroid — or comet — that impacted some 65 million years ago, a space rock estimated to have been at least 6 miles (10 kilometers) wide.)
And scientists and agencies need to worry not only about them being spotted late in their orbits and limiting the response time to mount a defense, but also about size and trajectory and velocity. As Nuth explained, comets generally are larger than the average asteroid. The orbital paths of comets have also been found to be elliptical (as opposed to asteroids, where the orbits of most are roughly like Earth’s), with the comet making its journey from the outer reaches of the Solar System, moving in for direct hits (whereas asteroids usually strike the Earth at various angles). Whereas the asteroids travel at an average speed of 44,700 miles per hour (71,940 kilometers per hour), the long elliptical trips of comets see them pick up speed as they approach the sun. For instance, comet Siding Spring was traveling at 125,000 mph (200,000 kilometers per hour) as it passed Mars.
Greater mass. Greater velocity. Greater potential for a direct collision. According to Nuth, these factors provide for “potentially cataclysmic” consequences. He also pointed out that given that extinction-event-level asteroids and meteors collide with the Earth about every 50-60 million years on average and the last impactor, the “dinosaur killer,” hit roughly 65 million years ago, the planet was due for a catastrophic asteroid or comet strike.
The problem with comets: Dr. Joseph Nuth of NASA says they’re bigger, faster, impact more directly, and could appear virtually out of nowhere. [Image by solarseven/Shutterstock]
The problem, as Nuth pointed out at the presentation, was that there was nothing at present the Earth could do about a hazardous object headed for the Earth unless there was at least five years to prepare or launch some type of interception or deflection mission. This was why along with suggesting that measures be taken to defend the planet more effectively, he also had suggested a possible solution at the presentation.
Nuth suggested a two-part defensive strategy which would employ an “observer” and an “interceptor” spacecraft. The former would study potentially hazardous objects to deem the seriousness of the threat. The latter, which could be outfitted with a nuclear weapon, would be used for destroying or deflecting the object.
“It’s really imperative that we reduce that reaction time,” he said at the news conference.
Other methods of deflection presented at the AGU included the suggestion of the use of lasers to target an incoming object, possibly producing gaseous jet eruptions from said object and knocking it from its collision-course trajectory, and the use of a “kinetic impactor,” described as “basically a giant cannonball,” that would act to batter an asteroid — or comet — off its trajectory.
Scientists using numerous computer simulation models of giant asteroid impacts on the ocean have found that the farther out into the deepest areas of the ocean, the more distance the object is when it strikes the water’s surface, has a profound impact on the potential for damage. In fact, given all the Hollywood-driven scenarios of massive tsunamis, virtual mountains of water crashing into coastal cities after an asteroid impact, it should be noted that such an event will likely never occur.
As Seeker reported this week, scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico have found that tsunamis rolling in and over coastal cities due to the impact of a massive asteroid are likely never to occur, because 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. The researchers studied different sized asteroids making impacts at different distances — and different incoming trajectories and different water depths — from the shoreline. They also studied the effects of asteroids that exploded as airbursts. As one might expect, asteroids that hit close to shore were devastating to coastal areas. However, as the distance from shore — and the water’s depth — grew, the less likely the monstrous waves created by the impact would reach the shore as a danger.
“Movies like ‘Deep Impact’ and ‘Armageddon’ suggested that an ocean impact would produce a devastating tsunami that would affect everything along the shorelines surrounding an ocean basin… but I was skeptical,” Galen Gisler, the scientist who led the project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, told Seeker.
Researchers found that Gisler was correct with his original hypothesis. The three-dimensional modeling showed that the tsunamis portrayed in the movies were fiction.
According to 3-dimensional simulations, scientists found that asteroid impacts on water, unless they occur close to the shoreline, likely will produce no tsunamis. [Image by shirophoto/Thinkstock/Getty Images]
“An asteroid impact is a point source and it only affects the immediate region around the impact point and moreover, to create a tsunami, you need something that disturbs the entire water column,” Gisler explained.
A point source-generated wave loses its ability to propagate fairly quickly, the scientists found. As the Daily Mail noted, using the factors of a basalt asteroid, static air, and static water, “kinetic energy would be transferred to the water, and in the largest scenario, the visualization shows how a 250-meter-wide asteroid could create a transient crater, giving rise to a massive plume of water and water vapor.”
As ScienceAlert reported, such a jet of water from the initial asteroid impact could reach from hundred of meters in height to a few kilometers. Still, even with so much water falling back into the ocean, the resulting colliding shockwaves in both the atmosphere and the water, plus wind resistance at the water’s surface would work against the creation of a propagating wave.
Regardless, as Gizmodo pointed out, giant asteroids colliding with the ocean (or even exploding over it) are still incredibly dangerous, especially at point of impact — just not in the area of creating a tsunami.
“The most significant effect of an impact into the ocean is the injection of water vapor into the stratosphere, with possible climate effects,” Gisler said.
The release of water vapor into the upper atmosphere would only add to the greenhouse effect and contribute to the already runaway global warming problem facing the planet.
Scientists found that the most dangerous asteroid was one that detonated in an airburst near the coastline, an event that could produce a devastating shockwave and a tsunami as well. [Image by solarseven/Thinkstock/Getty Images]
But the worst possible scenario, other than a direct asteroid impact on land? An airburst just off the coast. As Gisler noted, such a detonation near a “populated shore will be very dangerous” and could very well produce a tsunami like those seen in the movies.
The asteroid simulation study comes as a NASA scientist, Joseph Nuth, made remarks at a presentation in San Francisco on Monday that the Earth was unprepared to defend itself against a “dinosaur killer” asteroid strike. As the Inquisitr reported, Nuth warned that the Earth was somewhat due an extinction event-sized asteroid (considering the average time between such events is roughly 50-60 million years, and the last event occurred approximately 65 million years ago, contributing to the extinction of the dinosaurs) and “there’s not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment.”

Footage showing a mysterious glowing orb hovering in the sky over Fairbanks, Alaska, and releasing multiple smaller orbs mid-air before disappearing has sparked excitement among members of the online UFO community. UFO enthusiasts are touting the latest footage as the best example of a series of nearly identical clips released recently showing orb UFOs dropping smaller “pods” at several locations across the country.
The recent slew of clips allegedly showing orb UFOs dropping “landing pods” across the country sparked rumorsamong members of the UFO community that a secret alien invasion of Earth by possibly hostile alien races could be underway, the Inquisitr reported in February.
The latest footage was uploaded online on May 13, 2016, by YouTube user Jared A, a security officer in Fairbanks, Alaska. Jared began filming after he noticed a bright light in the sky at about 3 a.m. during a routine patrol in Fairbanks.
For about five minutes, he filmed the mysterious glowing orb floating in the air and releasing smaller orbs.
The clip shows the extraordinary moment that the UFO appears to release multiple orbs over Fairbanks. The first orb was released at the 1:30 mark in the footage and two other orbs were released at 2:30.
Jared exclaims in awe as the UFO releases two smaller orbs in succession.
The glowing orb appears to split into three. The three orbs assume a triangle formation. One of the orbs drops earthward rapidly, but all three fade gradually and disappear.
The awestruck witness appears to suggest that the orb looks like a craft dropping smaller surveillance crafts or drones.
“Wow! They are putting out drones man. Scouting the area I guess.”
“The phone does not do it justice, but it was brighter and just simply amazing to see,” he commented on Reddit.
The footage is going viral online having received nearly 10,000 views on the witnesses’ channel alone. A few UFO interest channels, including UFO News, have also uploaded copies.
The footage has sparked speculation among UFO enthusiasts, with many touting it as the best in recent times showing an alien UFO hovering in the sky and dropping “pods” to the ground.
This is a good example of how to record a UFO Sighting.
“Wow just wow! I wish I could see alien already it’s my biggest dream.”
Skeptics have been unable to explain away the latest footage as a hoax.
“This one is truly confusing,” one said.
But some skeptics suggested it actually shows space debris entering the Earth’s atmosphere and breaking up.
However, UFO hunters pointed out the remarkable similarity between the footage and several other clips uploaded online recently showing glowing orbs dropping what appear to be “landing pods” over multiple locations across the U.S.
The Inquisitrreported in February that multiple identical footage showing UFOs dropping or jettisoning smaller orbs over several locations in the U.S. caused researchers to raise alarm that a stealth invasion of Earth could be underway.
The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) has received several remarkably similar clips recently showing glowing or flashing orbs hovering in the sky and breaking into smaller pieces that drop or fall to the ground in a manner that suggests a large UFO releasing a landing pod.
The Inquisitr reported that UFO hunters suggested that the slew of sightings documented on video by unrelated witnesses from different parts of the country suggest alien invaders are secretly establishing sleeper cells in different parts of the county.
For instance, the footage below, uploaded to YouTube by MUFON on February 12, 2016 (Case 52934), was captured over Boise, Idaho, by a witness driving home with his wife on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2013.
The clip, which appears to show a stealth orb UFO dropping a “landing pod,” was corroborated independently by two other witnesses who observed the same incident from separate locations.
The first witness (Case 52934) described the orb as glowing in the sky with a red light. He called his wife’s attention to it. She suggested that they pull over and watch. After observing for several minutes, the witness rushed home to fetch his video camera and managed to capture the final moments when the orb dropped a smaller flashing orb to the ground.
The witness filmed as the “landing pod” dropped slowly from the larger glowing orb, after which the light of the larger orb faded gradually and disappeared.
A second resident of Boise also reported seeing the glowing UFO hovering in the sky. In his testimony, filed as Case 52930, the orb hovered for more than three minutes before it dropped a smaller orb to the ground.
“This really freaked me out. I watch the sky all of the time and have never seen anything like this before.”
A third witness (Case 52942) also reported seeing a UFO releasing an orb that fell to the ground.
The Inquisitrreported earlier on February 12, 2016, a nearly identical case (Case 53762) involving a witness from Spokane Valley in Washington, who saw a UFO with an orange-red glow at about 7 p.m. on January 26, 2016. He watched as the UFO dropped a smaller orb to the ground.
According to the witness, the larger orb flew eastward and disappeared after it had dropped the smaller orb.
“The object stopped, flashed very brightly several times and then discarded something,” the witness said. “There was glowing discharge from the bottom of the object. The object lost brightness intensity and then slowly went away.”
UFO hunters analyzing the footage at the time suggested that the mysterious orb may have been an alien craft releasing a “landing pod” or an escape capsule.
A nearly identical sighting was also reported over California in January 2015. A witness sighted and filmed a mysterious glowing orb dropping another orb as it streaked across the sky.
Members of the UFO community claim that aliens live secretly among us. They cite testimonies by former high-ranking government military officials and scientists (see below) to back claims that aliens disguised as humans live on Earth.
According to Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian defense minister, the world’s leaders know that extraterrestrial beings, such as the Greys, Pleiadians, and evil Reptilian aliens, live among us and influence global politics.

Operation Highjump: UFO’s, ondergrondse nazi-bases en admiraal Richard. E Byrd
Operation Highjump: UFO’s, ondergrondse nazi-bases en admiraal Richard. E Byrd
Op 9 mei 1926 vlogen de Amerikanen Richard Byrd en Floyd Bennett als eerste met een vliegtuig over de Noordpool.
Na de 15 uur durende reis over de Noordpool werden de twee mariniers als helden ontvangen in Amerika. Ze kregen beide een eremedaille van de marine.
Richard Evelyn Byrd werd op 25 oktober 1888 geboren in Winchester. Hij groeide op in een rijk en machtig gezin.
Rockefeller
In 1928 kondigde hij aan dat hij ook over de Zuidpool wilde vliegen. Rijke Amerikanen als Edsel Ford en John D. Rockefeller junior sponsorden hem.
Op Antarctica bouwden ze een vliegbasis, genaamd Little America. Van daaruit konden ze reizen maken over de Zuidpool. Er werd een berggebied ontdekt en vernoemd naar Rockefeller.
In 1939 maakte admiraal Byrd op verzoek van president Franklin D. Roosevelt nog een reis naar het gebied.
Operation Highjump
Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog organiseerde Byrd een mega-expeditie naar de Zuidpool. Het reisgezelschap bestond uit ruim 4000 mensen, 13 schepen en 25 vliegtuigen.
Deze reis, die bekend staat als Operation Highjump, zou acht maanden duren, maar werd al na acht weken afgebroken.
In onderstaande video neemt onderzoeker Jim Nichols verhalen over ondergrondse nazi-bases, UFO’s, een occult ras en Atlantis onder de loep. Zijn conclusies zullen je ongetwijfeld verbazen.

White UFO Over Australia Is Living Entity Living Off Static Electricity. Dec 23, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Dec 23, 2016
Location of sighting: Sydney, Australia
Captured by UFO Sydney of Youtube, these white UFOs are turbo fast, if you have never caught one, then its only because you have never filmed the sky for an hour and then watched it on your computer in .25X speed (slow motion). These UFOs do exist, and they exhibit intelligence. They are also seem to feed off of the static electricity in the air.
Long ago, ago when my site got on CNN for a story about a lightening storm over Norte Dame stadium during a game (video has since been deleted for unknown reasons), these tiny white UFOs shot everywhere. There were thousands of them and even the score board was hit by lightening...evacuating the stadium. But these little white UFOs seemed so excited, so super charged. The did loops in groups right on live TV. It was amazing, no one noticed but me until I reported it, and it got on CNN. These little white UFOs...are alive. If you want to catch more of them, record on a tripod during a lighting storm. Or during the day with you have blue cloud background...since they are white, it makes it easier.

UFO Disk Seen Over Melbourne, Australia On Dec 25, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: December 25, 2016 Location of sighting: Melbourne, Australia This UFO was caught by Australian UFO researcher Peter Maxwell Slattery of Youtube. The UFO has a disk shape and is reflecting light from its surface, probably reflected from the moon or city lights. The UFO does have a metallic tint to it. Many UFOs have been seen over Australia since a large portion of the country is mostly uninhabited desert. Many aliens are said to like this hot and dry climate, which also explains the mass sightings at Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and such. Scott C. Waring

Now this must have shown up on Radar since the airport is really close to this location, but as we all know, many UFOs don't show up on radar. This is an excellent catch by Orlando Bosca of Youtube. Live cams are the modern day tool of UFO researchers worldwide. If you have an iPad, download some free cam apps. Then jump from cam to cam till you come to something. If you are confident its a UFO...take a screenshot (hold the power button and screen button at same time). The screenshot will go into your photos folder. Then post it to Facebook, your blog, or other social media sites. Its as easy as that. Oh...and post a link on our site so we can have a look please. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan
UFO Caught Over Island Nation Of Cyprus, Great Photo, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Caught Over Island Nation Of Cyprus, Great Photo, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 19, 2009, but reported today Location of sighting: Cyprus, Europe Source: MUFON #81145 This UFO was seen over the island nation of Cyprus back in 2009, but was reported today. The island has a total population of about 1.3 million people and is totally surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. UFOs are often seen over the ocean and its been long believed that if aliens wanted to hide a base on Earth, under the ocean was the logical decision. At the moment, the only alien base I know of in the Mediterranean is below Rocca Pia, Italy...and belongs to the W56. So it sounds like there are several bases in the Mediterranean. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
Picture was taken for the purpose of mountain and moon combination scenery. The object could only be realised right after shooted in LCD display. Several shootings made before this photo but no other objects were found in previous shootings.
The sounds last only milliseconds but generate as much energy as the Sun in an entire day.
However no one knows what is causing them.
Since March scientists have now heard 16 powerful radio signals – known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) – from space, Sciencealert reports.
Experts only discovered FRBs for the first time in 2007.
But despite discovering nine years ago very little is known about them – even though an estimated 2,000 FRBs fly across the Universe everyday.

MYSTERY: An estimated 2,000 FRBs fly across the Universe everyday
NASA
EXOTIC: It is now believed the outer-galactic FRBs are coming from 'an exotic object'
It is now believed the outer-galactic FRBs are coming from “an exotic object” such as a neutron star that rotates with such power it emits extremely bright pulses.
Last year UFO expert Nigel Watson said the FRBs could indicate “a vast alien communication network”.
He said: “This extraordinary finding either indicates an as yet unknown or unusual astronomical phenomenon, or it could indicate that this is a vast alien communication network, and the universe is teeming with intelligent life forms.
"Every unusual signal from outer space encourages us to wonder if it is from an alien civilisation.
"Since this signal seems so elusive and hard to interpret then this should be a candidate for further analysis.
"It would be fantastic if this was an alien signal as the knowledge that we are not alone in this vast universe would have a dramatic impact on our perception of our place in the scheme of things."
UFO Disclosure May Take Place Before Trump Takes Office
UFO Disclosure May Take Place Before Trump Takes Office
The election of Donald Trump was a wake-up call from many people and movements. One of those movements was the call to open the secret government files on UFO visits and alien encounters. The champion of this disclosure was John Podesta, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager – the man who famously said he regretted not doing more to disclose the files when he was chief of staff for President Bill Clinton. Has the movement and disclosure gone down in defeat with Clinton and Podesta? Maybe not.
Stephen Basset, the executive director of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG) and the so-called “only registered UFO and alien disclosure lobbyist” in Washington, claims that President Obama may open the files as one of his last acts before leaving office.
Persons who are directly involved in the management of the extraterrestrial issues want disclosure to take place under President Obama and are ready to work with the SecDef (Secretary of Defence) if approached.
Those “persons” include an anonymous whistle-blower “within the military/intelligence community” who allegedly contacted PRG by email two days after the election to reveal the new openness to declassification of the files by the Obama administration.
Basset says disclosure must be driven by Hillary Clinton and her husband to convince President Obama
Basset says in a press release that this declassification must be driven by both of the Clintons to occur before President-elect Trump’s inauguration – preferably by January 6th.
The Clintons now have a choice to make of historic proportions. Should they immediately take interviews with top journalists and discuss in greater detail what they know about the ET issue and what transpired during the Rockefeller Initiative from 1993-1996, the resulting media storm will force the Pentagon and the White House to reach the necessary understanding allowing Barack Obama to be the Disclosure president. Or should they remain silent and allow the truth embargo to continue on into the next administration.
By opening the files two weeks before Trump’s inauguration, PRG asserts that the nation will have time to absorb the predicted shocking revelations before the transition to a new president – a plan that would allow him to speak about it in his Inaugural Address.
Speak about what? Basset won’t say, but he echoes the style of the incoming president by hinting that it will be huge.
This [UFO Disclosure] will be a reality this year and across the front pages of newspapers across the world. The most significant news story that has ever been broken.
Would this news be big enough to affect the transition of power? Psychic Baba Vanya – who allegedly predicted the election of Barack Obama – also predicted that Obama would be the last president. Would the disclosure cause such chaos that the only solution would be to keep him in office to maintain order? Will it allow Hillary Clinton to deny Donald Trump the presidency in a way not involving an election or the Electoral College?

Aliens Encounters - Real bodys are found around the world (Most Rare Collection)
Aliens Encounters - Real bodys are found around the world (Most Rare Collection)
Published on Dec 17, 2016
PARANORMAL investigators are calling for DNA tests to be carried out on a bizarre corpse that some believe could be the world's first alien dead body on Earth.With its tiny winged frame and reptilian face, the "dead alien" has all the hallmarks of an elaborate hoax, but some alien investigators believe it could be the real deal.
Author Brian Foerster claims to have found the unusual winged small humanoid corpse in a specimin jar in an office in Mexico earlier this year.
Claims are now being made in a video clip online that X-rays carried out on the "dead body" have shown a skeletal structure inside, leading to calls for further analysis, including DNA tests.
But there have been claims the clip entitled "What is this weird creature with wings in this jar

What Quetzalcoatl taught 2,000 years ago the people of Earth?
What Quetzalcoatl taught 2,000 years ago the people of Earth?
We already know that the person who has created a pictogram in the corn field in Crabwoode in 2002 was none other than himself Winged Serpent Quetzalcoatl, apparently extraterrestrial visitors to Earth. It comes from the obscure star in the constellation Hercules, which is about 160 light years from Earth. Long distance in time or space for him seem to be a problem. Before we return to a more detailed analysis Crabwoodu, it might be useful to look to what is known about Quetzalcoatl in Mayan archeology and legends
“The people of Central America believed that Quetzalcoatl once lived on earth as an ordinary man, learners religion, ethics, art and science. He taught that beauty can be applied through art everywhere and on everything. He helped build a new city. He taught astronomy and Olmec and Mayom given calendar. He taught them how to work with metals. He taught them to write. Engravings on the stone on which it was mentioned, date back 300 years before Christ. Legends of it date back 2000 years back. “
It became so popular that in his name was established in Chichen Itza pyramid huge. “Ixtlilxochitl, Aztec historian later said that Quetzalcoatl possesses deep humility to the” crisis “, which later became a symbol of Christianity. We can therefore wonder that when in the 16th century (precisely in 1519) entered the Aztec conqueror Cortez, were not at all surprised? This year was the year of the potential return of Quetzalcoatl, as once promised. Cortés was about as tall, bearded and pale skin. With it came the Spanish priests carrying thecross. “
Quetzalcoatl lived and taught in Central and South America at the same time as Jesus, who then taught in Israel. Moreover taught very similar principles of early Christianity. It is possible that Quetzalcoatl and Jesus were members of the same group? Jesus used the plural when speaking about his mission: John 3, 11:
Amen, amen I say to you: “What we know, and what we saw, testifying, but do not accept our testimony.”
Later in Revelation 22, 16, says:
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star.
Verse of Revelation carries the reference to the planet Venus, which was also a symbol of Quetzalcoatl in Central America in the middle of the world. Quetzalcoatl never claimed to be more than a teacher and prophet, while Jesus was the Messiah. But it is possible that belonged to the same group?
SOTT 'Earth Changes' video summary for November 2016: extreme weather events, environmental indicators of 'planetary upheaval' (seismic, volcanic, etc) and Near-Earth Objects in the form of meteor fireballs.
With liberal elites going into meltdown last month over 'Trumpocalypse', the stewards of empire are rapidly losing whatever grip they once had on reality. At the same time, with extreme weather event after extreme weather event impacting every region on Earth, it's as if this descent into madness is being marked every step of the way by Mother Nature. Disastrous climatic events in November 2016 included: Snow, hail and flooding in the deserts of Saudi Arabia (again) New Zealand's second strongest tremor in the modern era Johannesburg's worst flash-flood in living memory Another powerful quake (and another tsunami) off Fukushima, Japan Outbreak of 'thunder asthma' in Melbourne, Australia, which killed 8 people and sent another 8,500 to hospital The latest Atlantic Hurricane in the modern era (and the most southerly, and the first to ever make landfall in Costa Rica) Unprecedented 'superfires' torching swathes of the US Southeast
Those are just some of the more 'unusual' events in our latest Earth Changes Summary video, which also includes the other more 'normal' stuff: monster sinkholes swallowing multiple cars, people and homes - deluges washing away more homes, cars and people - massive meteor fireballs panicking people into thinking aliens have invaded - destructive tornadoes touching down in the capitals of Rome and South Africa - record November snowfalls in parts of northern US, northern China, and northern Europe...
We are, of course, being facetious. There's nothing normal about any of this. We've entered a new global climate. Forecasting models are largely redundant at this point. The costs from all this destruction pile up ever higher with each passing month. Until now, elites have either ignored the climate/planetary upheaval, or blamed ordinary people for causing one or another symptom, then carried on milking taxpayers and spreading wars. No doubt, given recent patterns, they're soon going to start blaming it all on Putin.
These were (some of) 'the signs' in November 2016...

BODIES OF STRANGE CREATURES WERE FOUND IN THE BASEMENT OF AN OLD HOUSE IN LONDON
BODIES OF STRANGE CREATURES WERE FOUND IN THE BASEMENT OF AN OLD HOUSE IN LONDON
In 1960 in London at the time of clearing the site for construction of a new residential neighborhood, the old long-abandoned mansion belonged to Thomas Theodore Merlin was sent for demolition. `
In the basement of the home builders have discovered several thousand small wooden boxes tightly sealed.
In 2006, a trust was set up to analyze and collate a huge number of wooden crates found sealed in the basement of a London townhouse that was due for demolition. Seemingly untouched since the 1940′s, the crates contained over 5000 specimens of flora and fauna, collected, dissected, and preserved by many forgotten scientists, professors and explorers of obscure cultures and species.
Thomas Theodore Merrylin was born in 1782 in Hellingshire, Northern England. He was the son of a rich aristocrat and biologist, Edward Merrylin, and would eventually follow in his fathers footsteps of fringe naturalism. Thomas spend the majority of his life in seclusion, traveling extensively to collect bizarre specimens of species that were yet to be cataloged by reputable zoologists and naturalists .
Vandaag herdenken christenen wereldwijd de geboorte van Jezus. Maar heeft Jezus echt bestaan?
Wereldwijd komen christenen vandaag bij elkaar om de geboorte van Jezus te herdenken. De Bijbel vertelt dat Jezus – de Zoon van God – in een stal in Betlehem ter wereld kwam om de flink gehavende relatie tussen God en de mensen te herstellen. Een prachtig verhaal dat een interessante vraag oproept: heeft Jezus echt bestaan?
Consensus De relevantie van deze vraag overschrijdt de kerkmuren. De afgelopen eeuwen hebben historici wereldwijd zich over dit vraagstuk gebogen en er bibliotheken over vol geschreven. Het leidde gaandeweg tot een zekere consensus omtrent de historische Jezus, zo vertelt professor Robert Van Voorst, auteur van het in 2000 verschenen boek ‘Jesus Outside the New Testament: An Introduction to the Ancient Evidence‘, aan Scientias.nl. “De meeste moderne wetenschappers zijn zo overtuigd van de historiciteit van Jezus dat ze het bespreken ervan onnodig of zelfs een verspilling van tijd vinden.”
De herders buigen zich, samen met Maria, over het pasgeboren kindje Jezus. Een schilderij uit de zeventiende eeuw van Gerard van Honthorst.
De bronnen Die consensus is gebaseerd op jarenlang onderzoek. Maar hoe doe je eigenlijk onderzoek naar het leven van een persoon die – naar verluidt – rond het begin van de jaartelling leefde? “Op dezelfde manier als een historicus onderzoek doet naar elke andere historische persoon,” vertelt professor Bert Jan Lietaert Peerbolte, hoogleraar Nieuwe Testament aan de Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, aan Scientias.nl. “Je gaat op zoek naar sporen die iemand heeft achtergelaten.” In het geval van Jezus gaat het dan om sporen in de literatuur. Het bekendst zijn natuurlijk de vier evangeliën – Mattheüs, Marcus, Lucas en Johannes – die in de eerste eeuw zijn geschreven en verslag doen van het leven van Jezus. Daarnaast zijn er echter ook verschillende niet-christelijke teksten uit de Oudheid die naar Jezus verwijzen. “Belangrijke Romeinse historici die aan het eind van de eerste eeuw werkten, zoals Tacitus en Suetonius, beschrijven Jezus als de oprichter van het christendom,” vertelt Van Voorst. “Ze stellen dat hij een beweging begon, gekruisigd werd en dat die beweging enigszins een bedreiging bleef vormen voor de Romeinse overheid.” Daarnaast zijn er verschillende Joodse bronnen die Jezus noemen.
“HET IS HOOGST ONWAARSCHIJNLIJK DAT AL HET MATERIAAL DAT JEZUS NOEMT TOT STAND IS GEKOMEN OP BASIS VAN EEN VERZINSEL”
Kritisch Er zijn al met al dus heel wat oude bronnen die melding maken van Jezus. Maar hoe betrouwbaar zijn ze? “Die teksten moeten we inderdaad heel kritisch bekijken,” vindt Lietaert Peerbolte. Als voorbeeld haalt hij het Testimonium Flavianum van de Joodse geschiedschrijver Josephus aan. In deze passage wordt Jezus meerdere malen genoemd. Maar er zijn sterke aanwijzingen dat er met de tekst geknoeid is: christelijke overschrijvers zouden het werk van Josephus hier en daar wat hebben aangepast. “Zo beschrijft Josephus Jezus als ‘een wijs mens, als we hem tenminste mens mogen noemen’. Dat laatste is er ongetwijfeld door christenen aan toegevoegd.” Net zo kritisch moeten we kijken naar Romeinse teksten en de evangeliën. “Je moet je continu afvragen: wat is historisch betrouwbaar?” En als we al die historisch betrouwbare materialen dan inventariseren, lijkt er geen twijfel mogelijk te zijn. “Het is hoogst onwaarschijnlijk dat al het materiaal dat Jezus noemt tot stand is gekomen op basis van een verzinsel,” concludeert Lietaert Peerbolte.
Origenes
Ontkennen Er zijn dus tal van teksten uit de eerste eeuwen die Jezus noemen. Maar zijn er uit diezelfde periode ook teksten die het bestaan van Jezus in twijfel trekken? Het antwoord is verrassend. “Nee, er zijn geen documenten uit de Oudheid bekend die het bestaan van Jezus ontkennen.” Dat is frappant. Zeker als je bedenkt dat er in de Oudheid wél mensen zijn die fel tegen Jezus tekeergaan. De Griekse filosoof Celsus (hij leefde in de tweede eeuw) is er één van, zo weten we uit teksten van zijn collega-filosoof Origenes. In zijn Contra Celsum vat Origenes de anti-christelijke standpunten van Celsus samen om die vervolgens te weerleggen. Zo lezen we dat Celsus de maagdelijke ontvangenis onzin vond en de goddelijke krachten van Jezus degradeerde tot magie. Maar zelfs Celsus trekt het bestaan van Jezus geen moment in twijfel. Het suggereert dat het idee dat Jezus niet echt had bestaan op dat moment ook helemaal niet in omloop was, aldus Lietaert Peerbolte. Anders had Celsus het ongetwijfeld in de strijd gegooid.
Net als van Jezus zijn van Alexander de Grote geen rechtstreekse portretten bekend. Pas veel later zijn mensen over Alexander de Grote gaan schrijven. Sterker nog: de periode tussen het leven van Alexander en het moment waarop er voor het eerst over hem geschreven wordt is veel langer dan de periode tussen het leven van Jezus en het moment waarop er (buiten de Bijbel om) voor het eerst over Jezus wordt geschreven. “En toch is het voor niemand een vraag of Alexander de Grote heeft bestaan, maar ondertussen is het bestaan van Jezus wel een vraag. Dat is frappant,” vindt Lietaert Peerbolte.
De discussie Hoewel de meeste moderne wetenschappers er op basis van al die bronnen dus van overtuigd zijn dat Jezus echt heeft bestaan, zijn er nog altijd onderzoekers die de Jezusmythe aanhangen. En zo af en toe vlamt de discussie over de historiciteit van Jezus dan ook weer op. Dat gebeurde bijvoorbeeld vorig jaar nog toen predikant Edward van der Kaaij zijn boek ‘De ongemakkelijke waarheid van het christendom‘ presenteerde. Hij stelt in het boek dat de historische Jezus nooit heeft bestaan en het leven van Jezus zoals dat in de Bijbel beschreven wordt, gebaseerd is op elementen uit de Oud-Egyptische religie. Lietaert Peerbolte ziet het als een opleving van een discussie die in de negentiende eeuw ontstond. Die discussie begint met het in twijfel trekken van de wonderverhalen: de passages in het evangelie die melding maken van een wonder dat Jezus verricht. Men stelde dat die wonderverhalen niet echt gebeurd zijn, maar symbolisch bedoeld zijn. In dat scenario vallen de wonderen weg, maar blijven de ethische lessen van Jezus overeind. Tot Allard Pierson in 1878 zijn boek ‘De bergrede‘ publiceert. Hierin stelt hij dat de bergrede – een ethische onderwijzing – van Jezus een compositie is van de evangelist en dus niet door Jezus zelf is uitgesproken. Na de wonderen wordt nu dus ook de historische betrouwbaarheid van de prediking van Jezus onderuit geschoffeld. “Voortgaand op deze lijn komt hij (Pierson, red.) tot het inzicht dat niet alleen alle bewijsmateriaal over de historische Jezus twijfelachtig van aard is, maar dat het uiteindelijk het beste geïnterpreteerd kan worden vanuit het perspectief dat Jezus geen historische figuur was, maar een gehistoriseerde verdichting,” zo schrijft Lietaert Peerbolte hierover in het Nederlands Theologisch Tijdschrift. “Pierson stelt dus eigenlijk: we hebben geen betrouwbare informatie over Jezus en dus heeft hij niet geleefd,” legt Lietaert Peerbolte aan Scientias.nl uit. “Als we diezelfde methode loslaten op Alexander de Grote (zie kader), moeten we ook concluderen dat hij niet geleefd heeft. Het is een hyperkritische benadering van complotdenkers die totaal niet wetenschappelijk verantwoord is. Ik spreek hierbij over complotdenkers omdat veel mensen met een hyperkritische houding het idee hebben dat een groepje losgeslagen Joden een mythe bedacht heeft over een godmens en die mythe vervolgens gepersonaliseerd heeft in Jezus. In dat scenario gaat de mythe dus vooraf aan het verhaal en het verhaal gaat weer vooraf aan de persoon. Dat is zo vergezocht. Dat kan ik onmogelijk serieus nemen.”
De Bijbel vertelt dat Jezus gekruisigd werd. Romeinse geschiedschrijvers bevestigen dat. “De kruisiging is een argument om te zeggen dat het bestaan van Jezus onmogelijk een verzinsel kan zijn. Het is namelijk zo’n ongelofelijk ongelukkig verhaal,” vindt Lietaert Peerbolte. “Het is de afgezant van God die aan het kruis hangt. Dat staat in schril contrast met de koninklijke gestalte die de Joden verwachtten en de machtige gestalte die volgens de Grieken de vloer aan zou vegen met zijn tegenstanders. De kruisiging kunnen de eerste christenen niet verzonnen hebben, want daar hadden ze geen baat bij en hebben ze eigenlijk alleen maar last van gehad.”
Relevant Dat de discussie over het bestaan van Jezus van tijd tot tijd oplaait, is geen wonder, vindt Van Voorst. “Het christendom is de grootste en meest wijdverspreide religie, dus de status van de belangrijkste figuur in deze religie – Jezus Christus – is belangrijk. Daarnaast is het christendom een op de geschiedenis gebaseerde religie waarin men – net als in het Jodendom – aanneemt dat God zich tijdens belangrijke historische gebeurtenissen liet zien. Dus of bepaalde mensen echt bestaan hebben en of bepaalde gebeurtenissen zich daadwerkelijk hebben afgespeeld, is belangrijk. Dit staat in schril contrast met andere religies zoals het boeddhisme of het taoïsme die gebaseerd zijn op onderwijzingen die hun oorsprong vinden in ongebruikelijke menselijke inzichten en niet gebaseerd zijn op personen of de geschiedenis. Als zou blijken dat Gautama Boeddha niet echt heeft bestaan, zou er in het Boeddhisme weinig veranderen. Als zou blijken dat Jezus niet echt heeft bestaan, zou het christendom zoals wij dat kennen ernstig beschadigd raken en misschien zelfs tot een einde komen.” Maar ook buiten de kerkmuren om is de vraag of Jezus echt bestaan heeft, relevant, vindt Lietaert Peerbolte. “Het maakt niet uit of je nu gelovig bent of niet: Jezus heeft een enorme invloed gehad op de wereld, zowel religieus als cultuur-historisch.”
Zullen we dan ooit nog met zekerheid vast kunnen stellen of Jezus echt heeft bestaan? “Dat is lastig,” denkt Lietaert Peerbolte. “Wat zou je daarvoor moeten vinden? Het graf van Jezus? Of zijn botten? Maar hoe kom je er dan achter dat het echt om resten van Jezus gaat? Je hebt geen DNA dat je kunt vergelijken. Misschien dat het ontdekken van een tekst van Jezus zou helpen? Maar weer geldt: hoe weet je dat die tekst echt van Jezus is?” Het is een probleem dat inherent is aan elk historisch onderzoek. “We kunnen niet verifiëren, alleen maar reconstrueren.” Van Voorst onderschrijft dat. “Zullen we ooit 100 procent zeker kunnen zijn van iets of iemand in het verre verleden? Ik betwijfel het. Maar we hebben meer zekerheid over het bestaan van Jezus dan over het bestaan van mensen zoals Laozi (de vermeende oprichter van het taoïsme), Zarathoestra of zelfs Gautama Boeddha of Mozes. En we hebben minstens net zoveel bewijs voor het bestaan van Jezus als voor het bestaan van andere oude figuren zoals Alexander de Grote of Julius Caesar.”

Des apparitions d’ovnis triangulaires rendent actuellement perplexes de nombreux témoins et enquêteurs américains. Depuis le mardi 20 décembre on note un nombre croissant d’observations d'ovnis triangulaires, dont 21 signalés sur la période de Décembre.
Mercredi, il été rapporté comment deux personnes avaient observé quatre ovnis triangulaires volant à basse altitude au-dessus de maisons situées à Bucks County en Pennsylvanie. Les rapports reçus par le MUFON mettent en évidence des objets se déplaçant lentement et à des altitudes relativement basses, de grande taille et avec des lumières situées aux extrémités. Le rapport le plus récent date du mercredi 21 décembre à Chebba dans le Tennessee. Le témoin anonyme a déclaré dans un rapport au MUFON : « Nous étions debout dans la rue moi, mon père et mon voisin lorsque l’objet est apparu dans le ciel. »
« Il volait assez rapidement en ligne droite et mon cousin et moi étions les seuls à l’avoir observé. » Un autre témoin affirme avoir aussi vu un triangle volant à basse altitude à Elk Grove, en Californie.
As a special treat this holiday season, the very first trailer for Alien: Covenantwas released at midnight. So sit back and be filled with best feelings of the season: fear.
Also, sex in the shower looks terrifying.
Here’s the official synopsis from Fox:
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN: COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.
