Clarenville man spots UFO over Random Island, Montreal, Canada, Dec 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Feb 23, 2016, but reported today
Location of sighting: Clarenville, Canada

Aliens like seclusion, isolation from humanity if at all possible. This UFO sighting took place at an island with a small population. UFOs over the water are very common. This UFO is a beautiful classic disk design. 

Even Christopher Columbus, it appears, saw a UFO. While patrolling the deck of the Santa Maria at about 10:00 PM on October 11, 1492, Columbus thought he saw "a light glimmering at a great distance." He hurriedly summoned Pedro Gutierrez, "a gentleman of the king's bedchamber," who also saw the light. After a short time it vanished, only to reappear several times during the night, each time dancing up and down "in sudden and passig gleams." The light, first seen four hours before land was sighted, was never explained."

News states: 
CLARENVILLE, NL — Chad Haines says he’s the last person who might believe in aliens, extraterrestrials or UFOs.

But after witnessing an unidentified flying craft near his house early in 2016, he can’t explain what else it could’ve been.

While deleting some images off his camera this past week to make space in preparation for Christmas morning, Haines stumbled upon some photos he took the night of Feb. 23, 2016, from his Bayview Road home.

Reviewing the photos once more, he still couldn’t find a rational explanation for what he saw in the sky.

From the street, looking across the water toward Random Island, Haines saw a hovering object near the moon.

“It was out there for two or three hours,” Haines told TC Media today.

He says, after staying in the same spot, the object moved up and down and shot off out of sight quickly.

Haines was able to capture some photos on his camera of the unidentified flying object appearing over the water.

There were no stars in the sky that night, he says.

He says it wasn’t a plane and it was far too big to be a drone.

Like others, Haines has seen videos and reports of strange sounds, beams of light and other phenomena, but says anything could have made those effects.

But now, after witnessing and capturing an image himself, he’s unsure about the existence of the unexplained.

“I couldn’t believe it,” he said of his experience.
This isn’t the first time people have reported UFOs over Random Island.

In October, 1978, RCMP Const. Jim Blackwood was one of dozens of locals who spotted what they believed to be a UFO hovering over Random Island.

Wildest Alien Planet Discoveries of 2016

The hunt for alien worlds has been the source of many exciting discoveries, as the number of confirmed planets outside Earth's solar sytem has more than doubled this past year. 

Here's a look at the top 10 planetary finds of 2016, including the discovery of the closest Earth-like neighbor, Proxima b; alien worlds that have more than one sun; and even one distant planet potentially located in Earth's solar system: 

1. Earth's cosmic neighbor

In August, astronomers announced the discovery of a world called Proxima b, which orbits Proxima Centauri, the closest star to Earth's own sun. 

Proxima b has a minimum mass of about 1.3 times the Earth's, and it's located roughly 4.22 light-years away. What's more, it orbits within the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri, which means this planet could have a surface temperature that would allow for the presence of liquid water. This means that this rocky world has the potential to support life.

2. Planet Nine 

A giant, icy world called Planet Nine is thought to exist in the Kuiper Belt at the outer edge of Earth's solar system, and astronomers could be on the cusp of actually finding the distant world. 

This undiscovered planet is believed to be about 10 times more massive than Earth and have an average temperature of minus 374.8 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 226 degrees Celsius). Astronomers announced the potential for the discovery of Planet Nine in January 2016, and in October, they predicted the planet would be found within 16 months or so. 

Astronomers are using mathematical modeling and computer simulations to pin down the location of this alien world. Observations of the orbits of six other, smaller objects in the Kuiper Belt suggest that a much more massive body (which would, theoretically, be Planet Nine) has a strong gravitational influence in this region.

3. 1,284 new exoplanets

In May, astronomers announced the discovery of 1,284 new exoplanets, the single largest haul of alien worlds made to date. 

Among the exoplanets discovered were nine rocky worlds that could possibly support life as we know it. This discovery was made using NASA's Kepler space telescope, which finds planets that dim their stars as they orbit past. The number of confirmed exoplanets now stands at a staggering grand total of 3,439. 

"This gave scientists hope that somewhere out there, around a star much like ours, we can eventually discover another Earth," NASA officials said in a statement. 

In fact, two of the exoplanets, Kepler-1638b and Kepler-1229b, are among the most Earth-like planets ever found, as they orbit within their host stars' habitable zones.

4. Rogue planet

A giant alien planet called 2MASS J2126 was found orbiting 600 billion miles (1 trillion kilometers) from its host star, making this planet's star system the largest one known. 

In fact, the exoplanet has such a wide orbit that astronomers previously thought it was a "rogue" planet flying freely through space. For comparison, 2MASS J2126 orbits 7,000 times farther from its star than Earth does from the sun. At that distance, the gas-giant exoplanet completes one orbit every 900,000 years or so.

5. 1 star, 3 exoplanets

In May, astronomers found an alien solar system called TRAPPIST-1, which lies 40 light-years from Earth. The system features a tiny, ultracool dwarf star and three small potentially habitable exoplanets. 

As an ultracool dwarf star, TRAPPIST-1 is 2,000 times less bright and less than half as warm as the sun. What's more, this alien world is only about one-twelfth the sun's mass and less than one-eighth the sun's width, making it only slightly larger in diameter than Jupiter.

This strange star was discovered using the TRAPPIST (TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope) telescope in Chile. The three exoplanets found orbiting TRAPPIST-1 are each only about 10 percent larger in diameter than Earth. The discovery of this alien solar system marked the first time that an exoplanet had been found orbiting an ultracool dwarf star, astronomers said.

6. Jewel clouds

Also this year, astronomers detected exotic weather on a large exoplanet known as HAT-P-7b. The upper atmosphere of this alien world boasts powerful winds and clouds composed at least partially of corundum, the mineral that forms sapphires and rubies. This was the first discovery of weather on a gas giant planet outside the solar system.

HAT-P-7b is about 40 percent larger than Jupiter and is located 1,040 light-years from Earth. The planet orbits its host star every 2.2 days, and it is tidally locked, with the same side always facing its parent star — just like the moon always presents the same face to Earth.

7. Characterization of super-Earth atmosphere

Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers characterized the atmosphere of a "super-Earth" exoplanet for the first time, revealing hydrogen and helium, but no water vapor, in the air of an alien world called 55 Cancri e. 

Located 40 light-years from Earth's solar system, 55 Cancri e is an exoplanet that is about two times wider and eight times more massive than Earth. What's more, this alien world lies incredibly close to its host star, completing one orbit every 18 hours, indicating that the planet is far too hot to host life as we know it. In fact, scientists estimate that surface temperatures on 55 Cancri e can reach up to 3,630 degrees F (2,000 degrees C).

8. Star trio

Another exoplanet discovered this year was also spotted orbiting multiple stars. The strange new world, HD 131399Ab, circles three stars at once in a highly exotic celestial arrangement. 

HD 131399Ab is located 340 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Centaurus. For about half of the planet's orbit through the system, which lasts 550 Earth-years, all three stars are visible in the sky.

The system exhibits a strange configuration: Exoplanet HD 131399Ab orbits a large, bright star — call it Star A — and then the exoplanet and Star A are orbited by a pair of stars referred to as Star B and Star C. This multistar system was the first found with such an exotic configuration.

9. New K-2 finds

NASA's Kepler space telescope suffered two gyroscope failures in 2013 that rendered it unable to hold its former focus on one precise patch of the sky. But that didn't stop Kepler: Scientists developed a new mission for the scope, aptly named K-2. Using its two remaining gyroscopes, its thrusters and the pressure of sunlight, the telescope now observes different portions of the sky, each for up to 83 days, and then rotates to prevent sunlight from coming into its field of view.

K-2 has unveiled 58 candidate planets, 127 of which have already been confirmed. This includes two rocky exoplanets called K2-72c and 72e, which orbit within the habitable zone of their host star (located about 181 light-years from Earth). 

K2-72c circles slightly closer to the host star with a 15-day orbit, while sibling K2-72e has a 24-day orbit. Additionally, K2-72c is about 10 percent warmer than Earth, while K2-72e is about 6 percent colder than Earth.

10. Triple suns

Yet another planet with multiple stars was discovered in 2016. A newfound alien planet called KELT-4Ab has three suns in its sky. 

Similar to exoplanet HD 131399Ab and its star trio, KELT-4Ab has a strange celestial configuration. KELT-4Ab orbits the star KELT-A once every three days. In turn, a nearby pair of stars then orbits KELT-A.

What's more, the twin stars, KELT-B and KELT-C, orbit one another once every 30 years, and together they travel around KELT-A and its planet every 4,000 years or so. Astronomers estimate that, to viewers on the planet, KELT-A would appear to be about 40 times as large as the sun appears in the sky on Earth, while the pair of stars would appear about as bright as the full moon in the sky. This strange system is only one of the few known to contain three stars.

Tesla’s Time Travel Experiment: I could see the past, present and future all at the same time’

Apparently, Tesla too was obsessed with time travel. He worked on a time machine and reportedly succeeded, saying: ‘I could see the past, present and future all at the same time.’

The idea that humans are able to travel in time has captured the imagination of millions around the globe. If we look back at history, we will find numerous texts that can be interpreted as evidence of time travel.

When Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity in 1905, it created a buzz in the scientific community, opening the page for many questions such as: “time travel, a possibility?”

There is even evidence of time travel in the Bible according to Erick von Daniken:

“In the Bible, the prophet Jeremiah was sitting together with a few of his friends, and there was a young boy. His name was Abimelech, and Jeremiah said to Abimelech, “Go out of Jerusalem, there is a hill and collect some figs for us.” The boy went out and collected the fresh figs. All of a sudden, Abimelech hears some noise and wind in the air, and he becomes unconscious, he had a blackout. After a time, he wakes up again, and he saw it was nearly the evening. So when he runs back to the society and the city was full of strange soldiers. And he says, “What’s going on here? Where are Jeremiah and all the others?” And an old man said, “That was 62 years ago.” It’s a time travel story written in the Bible.

– Von Däniken. 

If we look at the Mahabharata, written in the eighth century BC, King Raivata is described as traveling to the heavens to meet with the creator god Brahma, only to return to Earth hundreds of years in the future.

In Japan, the legend of Urashima Taro describes the tale of a fisherman’s visit to the protector god of the sea- Ryūjin in an underwater palace for what seemed like only three days. When he returns to his fishing village, he finds that it’s been 300 years that he’s been gone.

Maybe all of these ‘myths’ inspired great thinkers to try and figure out a way to achieving time travel.

Not long ago, a team of scientists from the University of Queensland, Australia, have simulated how time-travelling photons might behave, indicating that at least on a  QUANTUM LEVE, the grandfather paradox –which demonstrates how time travel is not possible— can be resolved. Using photons –single particles of light— researchers simulated quantum particles traveling to the past. After studying their behaviors, researchers revealed possible anomalous aspects of modern-day physics.

However, it seems that Nikola Tesla may have worked on time travel before modern science even thought it was possible.

According to reports, in 1895 Tesla made a shocking discovery suggesting that time and space could be influenced by magnetic fields. Allegedly, this idea –that one could alter time and space by magnetic fields— led to a number of experiments that allegedly gave birth to the infamous Philadelphia project –considered mostly a hoax.

It is believed that Tesla worked on the idea of time travel, discovering amazing results along the way. Using magnetic fields, Tesla found that the space-time barrier could be ‘altered’ and accessed by creating a ‘trojan horse’ which eventually led to a different time.

However, it is still unclear whether or not Tesla actually achieved this as there are no documents whatsoever that prove –or for that case—disproove something like this occurred.

The only thing we do know is that reports state that in 1895, a witness found Tesla at a small coffee shop looking shaken and disturbed. His assistant claimed that Tesla was almost electrocuted by a machine as Tesla was trying to solve the time travel riddle.

After nearly dying, Tesla claimed he had found himself in an entirely different time and space window, where he could see the past, present, and future at the same time while staying within the artificially created ‘magnetic field.’

Regrettably, there are no documents –which we were able to find– to back up these claims. However, if Tesla tried to achieve time travel, he surely wasn’t the only scientist to try.

Alien Abduction of The 4th Kind (Best Evidence Ever)

{ https://www.youtube.com/ }

31-12-2016 om 15:58 geschreven door peter  

The Most Disturbing Case of Alien Abduction Ever

Warning: this article contains graphic images of a human mutilation

This 1994 abduction case involves the most disturbing death of a single human being ever seen.

The human was subject to a brutal mutilation.  Yet the reality is that what happened to him is far more disturbing than brutality. This was systematic mutilation. 

Whoever they were.  Had a level of stunning precision.    They were specific about what body parts and internal organs they wanted.  They removed the left eye, the left ear, the lips, the tongue, and the jaw bone.

In the upper torso, two "drainage holes" were perfectly cut into the chest.

And the entire rectum track had been cored out leaving a large gaping hole, similar to how an apple core remover will slice out the center leaving the outside fully intact.

Further perplexing is the fact that there was no blood. It is clear that this systematic mutilation was executed with speed, precision, and powered by an advanced intelligence.

And that is what makes this case so disturbing.

If we are to assume that this abduction was carried out by an alien intelligence, then it is time to also revise our data regarding the conceivable specific intentions, moral perspectives and general agenda that some of our extraterrestrial visitors may have. 

What we know

In 1998, four years after the body was found, Brazilian researcher Zapata Carcia and Dr. Rubens Goes revealed to the public the first time the information about the case.

The body was found on a in the Guarapiranga reservoir, located in the southern area of the city of São Paulo, Brazil.

Above: the Guarapiranga reservoir, the region the body was found.

Zapata & Dr. Rubens also had a series of photographs leaked to them from an insider within the Brazilian police. Upon inquiring with the police about the case, surprisingly the head of primary investigation offered his files on the case.

Police are responsible for investigating crimes… yet this murder would prove to go beyond even the most sickest criminal minds could ever possibly conceive. The report was rather simple in that, there were no signs of struggle. No typical violence occurred here. No ropes or weapons were involved.

The autopsy report would reveal more about what happened than what the police could produce. The autopsy report states: "We observed the removal of the right and left orbital areas, emptying of the mouth cavity, pharynx, oropharynx, neck, right and left armpit area, abdomen, pelvic cavity, right and left groin area."

With Zapata's & Dr. Rubens determined research the report, in addition to the photographs, were made public. You can download a copy of the actual autopsy report here. A few items have been blacked out to protect the identification of the victim.

The photographs, if you have the stomach, are available for viewing below.

From the Autopsy Report:
"The axillary regions on both sides showed soft spots where organs had been removed. Incisions were made on the face, internal thorax, abdomen, legs, arms, and chest. Shoulders and arms have perforations of 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter where tissue and muscles were extracted. The edges of the perforations were uniform and so was their size. The chest had shrunk due to the removal of internal organs."

The autopsy report continues, "We observed the removal of the right and left orbital areas, emptying of the mouth cavity, pharynx, oropharynx, neck, right and left armpit area, abdomen, pelvic cavity, right and left groin area".

Precise "cookie cutter" holes are discovered in strategical positions throughout the body used for extracting internal organs. This level of precision suggests that the operation was executed with speed, the application of heat or lasers, all occurring as the subject was still alive. 

In this image you can clearly see the body has been hollowed out of it's organs. A cavity in the center of the abdomen reveals an extraction point.

"INTERNAL EXAMINATION: ...after opening the cranial cavity using Griessinger technique we found: 17) unimpaired skullcap; 18) cerebral edema".

In a case like this, the presence of cerebral edema without direct traumatic origin is a strong characteristic of an agonizing death. In confirmation, the autopsy CONCLUSION explicitly states as causa mortis (cause of the death):

"...acute haemorhage in multiple traumatisms. There is a component of causa mortis by vagus stimulation" (implying cardio-respiratory arrest caused by extreme pain). "The victim shows injuries with vital reaction characteristics, i.e., there is the component "torture". The suggested modus operandi is: incisions in soft parts and natural orifices using sucking devices".

In addition to the shocking photographs, the fact that the official autopsy report blatantly states that the victim was subject to incisions & use of "sucking devices" elevates the case to the levels beyond most disturbing monstrosity to ever occur to a human being.

And disturbing in more ways than one. A) the extraction of body parts & use of sucking devices B) the beings responsible are likely not from this planet. 

The Perpetrators of this Crime

Given the brutal, completely immoral nature of this suspected extraterrestrial mutilation and the autopsy conclusion that implies heart-attack due to extreme pain means that, unfortunately, this victim was almost certainly was alive while the systematic mutilation took place.

And consider the psychological profile at work here. It is clear that the beings who did this have no regard for morals or human life. They were precise. This was systematic. This was efficient. Why then, would they kill their subject before extracting bodily material? The intelligence behind this did not care about the pain this victim would suffer. This was an agonizing death to be sure.

 Could Humans Do this?

If you are skeptical about the assumption that this mutilation was the work of extraterrestrials, then we have to ask - who (or what) else could have done this?

Firstly, would agencies within the government abduct us? Given what we know about the intelligence apparatus over the US Government : yes. The better question is, do these agencies have the technology to do so, and do they have the technology to extract body matter in such a systematic & effective way.

Does the military industrial complex, with their multi trillion dollar black budget, have the capability to carry out a technological mutilation?

And if so, why? What the hell do they need living internal organs for? Another confusing question is why wouldn't they properly dispose the evidence. What possible reason would they have for engaging into a complex mutilation extraction process and then put the savaged carcus back in public view?

And then there is another possibility. That this was not caused by any living beings at all. That the responsible ones behind this alien abduction are powered by a computational intelligence. Alien robots. As far fetched as that might be, it is conceivable that there could be organized races of robotic intelligences who have interstellar capability. It's at least a consideration, given the fact that whoever committed this systematic extraction has not even a remote extent of human feeling.

Parallels to Cattle Mutilations

You may have heard the term "cattle mutilation". Cattle mutilation cases are much more common than that of the human variety. Yet this Guarapiranga case and the hundreds of cattle mutilation cases reported in the United States bear a striking similarity.

The above scene is from the scene of a reported cattle mutilation. I guess you could say that it's a little less scary given the fact that this is a cow. Yet the similarities in the precision to the cut and hollowed out organs yield an erie resemblance to what happened to the man in Guarapiranga. Unfortunately, this isn't the only sickening cattle mutilation ever reported. There are literally hundreds of cases just like this - all with a consistent methodology to removing internal organs & body material using advanced technological processes that seem to defy the capabilities of even the most modern medical procedures. 

The Alien Agenda

This case is tentative evidence that at least some alien visitors are not friendly. Given the amount of UFO & extraterrestrial activity evidenced in the thousands of videos & photographs in public archives, including UFOs on NASA's own footage, it is likely that there multiple extraterrestrial races existing in our solar system.

One former geologist & engineer, Phil Schneider,who died in the 1990's due to a suspicious death, former geologist & engineer, claimed that the US Military & the international Militaries of the world have been in quote, "constant conflict with the outer space alien" both underground and above the surface. These aliens he said, included the Small Greys, the Large Greys, and the  .

Could there be a genuine extraterrestrial threat? And if so, is it rogue groups who are violating interstellar agreements by infiltrating our planet with occasional abductions - or is it an entire race of aliens that could potentially exterminate the entire human population?

While I admit this conclusion is digressing into the realm of conspiracy, it seems certain anyway that this case is yet another example of an incident that is by all logic: performed by extraterrestrials. The publicly available data surrounding this case combined with an understanding of the mountains of evidence to suggest that there are indeed extraterrestrial visitors already engaging the planet (which includes several hundred corporate, government, and military witnesses who have offered to testify to congress as part of the Disclosure Project) then it is not a stretch to make this conclusion.

We talked to industry insiders and tracked the trends to identify the tech that will make the biggest impact in 2017. ILLUSTRATION: JASON SCHNEIDER

By GEOFFREY A. FOWLER and  JOANNA STERN

If you’ve seen it in a movie, you might see it in reality in 2017.

Just like in sci-fi flicks, this year’s flagship phones will be (almost) all screen. Some of us will start wearing computers on our faces. And chances are good an artificial intelligence will make decisions on your behalf.

Ok, teleportation is still a ways off. But we’re still in awe of what’s in store for the next 12 months. The list below has become an annual tradition, where we talk to industry insiders, track the trends and otherwise gaze into our crystal ball to identify the tech that’s going to make an impact in the near term—for better and worse.

One thing that struck us this year is the growing importance of software. You won’t necessarily need to buy a new phone, TV, watch or speaker to bring the advances of AI into your home. They’ll come in updates and apps, as well as in shiny new gadgets. This also has its downside: If you haven’t been hacked yet, the chances are even greater in 2017. And a handful of big companies will continue to consolidate their power over what you read and watch.

What tech do you think will change your life in 2017? Hit us up on email or on Facebook and Twitter @geoffreyfowler and @joannastern.

Mobile Video Goes Mainstream

Like it or not, you’ll watch more video on your smartphone this year. Facebook Live. Twitter Live. Instagram Live (and Stories). With new streaming video features, all the major social networks are clamoring to become the television network in your pocket. They’re also clamoring to out-Snapchat Snapchat, the soon-to-go-public picture-chat service, where upward of 10 billion videos are watched each day. Considering video is a data hoover, cellular carriers will offer heftier plans and incentives to increase our data buckets. ( T-Mobile and Sprint have already shifted back to unlimited plans.) Some carriers including Verizon will begin testing 5G networks for an even faster wireless future.

Face Computers Strike Back

Four years after the flop of Google Glass, wearing a computer in your glasses is no longer so far-fetched. This fall, people lined up for hours to buy a pair of Snap Spectacles with a built-in camera. And the success of Pokémon Go taught millions about the potential of mixed or augmented reality (AR) technology, digital info layered over the real world. One big advantage over virtual reality is that AR is much less isolating.

The year ahead will bring glasses that project pictures into your view—likely a new version of Microsoft’s promising HoloLens headgear and potentially even something from Apple and the much-hyped Magic Leap.

Talking Speakers Worth Listening To

Voice control arrived in a big way in 2016 as the Echo and Echo Dot brought the convenience of talking with Amazon’s Alexa assistant to millions of kitchens and home offices.

Expect an even bigger home invasion in 2017. Sonos will integrate with Alexa so you can reap the benefits of the voice assistant without sacrificing great audio quality, and GE and other appliance makers will add Amazon’s bot to washers, dishwashers, you name it. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Cortana virtual assistant will smarten up a speaker from Harman Kardon, and Google plans to improve its Home speaker with third-party services.

Facebook Takes News Seriously

Facebook has long played coy about its responsibilities as a media company. But the 2016 election cycle brought criticism from the left and the right about how the social network handled news—both real and fake. Heading into 2017, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg is at least giving lip service to new efforts to label certain stories as false, build tools to classify misinformation and work with fact-checking groups. Facebook’s war on “fake news” could change the information consumed by hundreds of millions, and reduce the ignorance amplification that Facebook’s design facilitates.

Robots Hit the Road

This is the year the robots start doing more of the driving. It’s hard to find a car maker—be it Honda, Hyundai or BMW—that doesn’t offer 2017 models with driver assist options like automatic braking to avoid collisions, and automatic steering to avoid lane drifting. Those features—along with Wi-Fi, navigation systems and so many sensors—are paving the road for our connected, driverless future.

It isn’t as far off as you think: This year you may even ride in a self-driving car. Uber has begun a pilot in Pittsburgh where robotic Fords pick up passengers. (Arizona is next.) Don’t worry, human “drivers” ensure the vehicles are operating properly.

A Privacy Wake-Up Call

Cybercrime changed the world in 2016, as Yahoo declared it lost a billion logins and the U.S. government blamed hackers for upending the presidential election. In 2017, chances are good you’ll get hacked—if you haven’t been already. Digital rights activists are sounding the alarm about expanded government surveillance. Marketers like Google are getting more aggressive, too, at compiling detailed profiles of your online behavior. What can you do? Become vigilant about passwords, software updates and encrypted messaging. There’s already been a surge in downloads of the secure chat app Signal.

Consoles Up Their Game

The year ahead will bring a new VR-focused Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo’s Switch hybrid hand-held/set-top console. Sony is likely to preview a new PlayStation, too.

The Nintendo Switch hybrid gaming device is expected to be released in 2017.

Gaming systems used to last six to eight years, but entertainment tech is advancing at a faster clip with more aggressive games and new display capabilities such as 4K resolution and high dynamic range (HDR) color. VR gaming is more demanding on computing power, too. Unless console makers want to try to sell new hardware every year, they’re in need of a paradigm shift where their systems can adopt new capabilities more quickly.

Screens Take Over

The iPhone 7 provided a lot of the same (minus a headphone jack). And Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 was unforgettable, but for the wrong reasons. If 2016 was the year the smartphone became boring, 2017 will be the year of its reinvention. Leaps in screen technology and software will pave the biggest rethinking in years. Apple is expected to go all out for its 10th-anniversary iPhone. There is talk of buttonless models (Bye-bye, home button!) with curved OLED screens. Samsung, which has pushed the curved, no-bezel look for a few generations, is likely to continue the trend with the Galaxy S8 while giving its flagship phone new AI functionality.

Net Neutrality’s About-Face?

AT&T allows its mobile subscribers to stream its DirecTV Now pay-TV service without using up any megabytes of their data plans.

Winter is coming for net neutrality. Last year, the Federal Communications Commission prevented internet service providers like Verizon from charging services like Netflix fees to reach homes at faster speeds. But members of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team appear more sympathetic to ISPs, and Trump himself tweeted in 2014 that the FCC’s policies were “a power grab” by President Obama.

For consumers, an about-face could mean more power (and, ultimately, more money) in the hands of pipeline providers who want to lock us in. Case in point: AT&T is testing the rules by allowing its mobile subscribers to stream its DirecTV Now pay-TV service without using up any megabytes of their data plans.

AI Brings the Magic

We’re not talking lifelike “Westworld” robots quite yet, but in 2017 computers will demonstrate the ability to learn and make decisions using brains of their own. Supported by loads of data and investments from major tech companies, a leap in the AI systems that power voice assistants, apps and social networks is likely.

An updated Google Translate app, seen in a 2015 photo, enables smartphones to translate signs, menus and more into English. Google hopes it will be useful for teachers, medical personnel, police and others in multilingual communities. PHOTO: GLENN CHAPMAN/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES

For instance, Google’s Neural Machine Translation system can already translate full sentences better than traditionally programmed language translators. There’s even evidence that it’s learning the fundamentals of language itself. Whether it’s with a smartcar, virtual assistant or photo app, the relationship of human and machine changes in 2017.

MYSTERIOUS 'ALIEN' HAND FOUND IN PERU - DNA TESTS PLANNED FOR EARLY 2017 IN THE US

A local person living in Cusco, a region of Peru happened upon an incredible find when they were exploring the tunnels of the southern desert near their home. The find has generated a great deal of excitement in the local community. It appears to be an elongated humanoid skull and a bizarre hand with incredibly long and thin fingers. 

 

 

The individual who found the bizarre artifacts has submitted them to local physicians for examination. The doctors have found that both of the unusual body parts are comprised of both skin and bone. After x-rays of the skull, they concluded that could not have come from a human being although they were certain that it was a life form of some kind. They came to the same conclusion about the unusual hand. The x-rays clearly show that the fingers inside the hand are comprised of six bones which mean that it cannot have come from a human being as humans only have three bones in each finger. As of yet, the local doctors and scientists are completely stumped about which kind of creature the artifacts came from, but they are almost certain that it was some variety of mammal. 

 

 

Skeptics immediately dismissed the find as a hoax but after the scientific tests have proven that the artifacts are certainly organic rather than synthetic it is hoped that these doubts will soon be put to bed. Now that most people have been assured that the artifacts are genuine there has been a great deal of speculation about where they could have come from. Some people have suggested that the skull and the hand could have been left on Earth by an alien visitor to the planet. Others have suggested that the artifact might come from a form of ancient humanoid. This theory has a certain amount of credibility as the remains of extinct forms of ancient humanoids have been discovered in Peru before.

 

 

 

 

It is hoped that the mystery will be solved in the early part of 2017 when the two body parts will be sent to a specialist laboratory in the United States for radiocarbon and DNA testing. 

 

 

 

 

Above is a video of the hand, and below a video of the skull in question.

UFO Shoots Over Active Costa Rica Volcano To Drop Off And Pick Up Alien Passengers On Live Cam, Dec 30, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Did you notice the burst of energy above and below the UFO as it reached the volcanos summit? Its beaming up and down passengers.

Date of sighting: Dec 30, 2016
Location of sighting: Turrialba Volcano, Costa Rica

This UFO looks to be about 75 to 100 meters. Did you notice the burst of energy above and below the UFO as it reached the volcanos summit? Its beaming up and down passengers. The summit of the mountains has three volcano craters. This UFO displayed quite a show in Costa Rica yesterday when a video camera trained on Turrialba volcano captured an eruption as a meteor fireball flew overhead. The UFO made sure to come low in a hormonal position so that it could beam up supplies and people and drop them off. It only takes a split second for alien tech to accomplish so it should be no surprise to see it happen on video. I have told you that the older bases on Earth were placed in strategic locations tens of thousands of years ago. Strategic in that they were deliberately made below locations where few humans would dare venture like volcanos, north pole, under water, and such. Some of these bases still exist, for instance 5-6km below Turrialba Volcano. These ancient alien bases have many species of aliens in them, not just one. For example, the base below the castle at Rocca Pia, Italy has about 56 different species in it...some even mingled with humans for over 3 decades! (Friendship Case click here). Also the two other bases near Mexico City at Colima volcano and Popocatepetl, where ancient Aztecs and Mayans reported seeing gods entering and exiting the mouths. The evidence in this video below is undeniable truth that only reinforces the fact that aliens have bases on Earth and have been here thousands of years.

UFO Disguised As Plane Over St. Helens, England On Dec 30, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting.

Date of sighting: Dec 30, 2016
Location of sighting: St. Helens, Merseyside, England

This is an odd sighting of a UFO over a small town in England yesterday. A UFO that is disguised as a plane using plane lights is a common technique for UFOs to escape detection at night. Nice catch by Kelly Latham of Youtube. 

Eyewitness states:

UFO Fleet Over Buck County, Pennsylvania On Dec 29, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Dec 29, 2016

Location of sighting: Buck County, Pennsylvania, USA

 

This capture of a UFO fleet over Pennsylvania is amazing. The UFOs move in unison with each other and they have their own glow. They are moving very fast and flashing to each other which is a method of communication. Wow, what I would give to get a close up of one of these UFOs. 

Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states: 

   This happened to me last night. 12-29-16. I was driving home north bound when I spotted multiple lights in the nights sky moving in an eerie pattern. I pulled off he road to watch and tape. I kept no zoom and a steady camera so people could analyze the video and try to debunk it. I could not tell if it was a solid single craft of multiple. Any questions leave in the comments below. This is not a hoax video.

USAF police officer’s UFO claims refuted by deputy base commander

 by: Alejandro Rojas 

The claims of a security police officer, who says he witnessed a famous UFO sighting while in the U.S. Air Force (USAF) in 1980, are being called into question by Charles Halt, the deputy base commander at the time. Halt wrote an official  memo that made it into the public outlining the events of two UFO sightings in late December, 1980. The second sighting Halt witnessed himself. However, he says he has spoken to the supervisor of the USAF police officer, and this new witness was not in the places he claims to have been on the nights of the UFO events.

Charles Halt in 1981.

The sightings took place in the Rendlesham Forest, which is outside of the gates of two Royal Air Force (RAF) bases in the UK that were on lease to the USAF. In his memo, dated January 13, 1981, Halt writes that in the early morning of December 27, 1980, “two USAF security police patrolmen saw unusual lights outside of the gate at RAF Woodbridge.” The on-duty flight chief allowed three men to investigate the lights, and they reported seeing a triangular metallic object that eventually disappeared.

Halts claims, the next day, December 29, 1980, three depressions were observed in the ground in the area the object had been seen. He also reported that radiation levels were higher in the three depressions and on a nearby tree than they were in the rest of the area.

Halt goes on to describe that later that night a “red sun-like light was seen through the trees.” He said the object broke into five white objects and then disappeared. Soon after, “three star-like objects” were seen in the night sky. They changed color and moved erratically. They also beamed a light down periodically. These objects were seen by Halt and others, and were in the area for two or three hours.

Memo written by Col. Halt, related to the Rendlesham Forest incident, that was leaked to the press.

Halt had a tape recorder taken out into the field that night, so the event was also caught on audio tape.

Since the incident took place in the forest outside of the base, it was in the UK’s jurisdiction, so Halt was asked to write the memo outlining the events and send it to the RAF. Halt says, “The decision to call it a British event/problem was made by the Third AF Commander Major General Bazley after hearing my tape at the Weekly Senior Commander briefing the following Wednesday (Williams played my tape for the staff).”

Several witnesses have come forward claiming to have been there, and/or have seen the lights, since. The first was a man named Larry Warren, who has been a controversial figure. His claims have differed from other witnesses.

Steve Longero

Earlier this month, we posted an interview of a man named Steve Longero, who says he was also a USAF security police officer and he had also been there during the UFO sightings. His claims made news recently, and we posted an interview with Longero by UFO researcher and author, and frequent OpenMinds.tv contributor, Philip Mantle.

Mantle says he spoke with other witnesses to verify Longero was stationed at the base at the time. Mantle then sent his interview to a several news outlets, but he says he, nor Longero, expected it to get as much attention as it did.

In the interview, Longero admits he cannot remember everything, but he says he was stationed at nearby RAF Bentwaters, the base on the other side of the forest. He said his job was to patrol the perimeter of the weapons storage area. He claims that on the night of the sighting alarms went off and he could see bright lights over the treetops. He says he then went into the forest and remembers seeing the flight chief, Warren, and a couple of the other witnesses, Jim Penniston and Edward Cabansag, in a field in the forest. Longero says he was in the forest for an hour or two, but only saw the lights for about 15 minutes. He also remembers Halt showing up later.

Longero claims that a couple of days later he was ordered not to talk about the sighting and that agents of the Office of Special investigations (OSI) were also present then.

Halt feels Longero has gotten all the facts wrong, and has communicated with me the details to set the record straight. To begin with, Halt has spoken with the flight chief, and as stated in his memo, only three men were allowed to leave the base to investigate the lights on the first night. He confirmed that Longero was on duty the first night, but he would have gotten in trouble had he left his post.

The three men who did enter the forest were Penniston, Cabansag, and a man named John Burroughs. These three men have come forward, and their accounts are well documented. We have several interviews with Penniston and Burroughs here on OpenMinds.tv, and they have both presented at the International UFO Congress.

Halt also took issue with several other of Longero’s statements.

“Steve claims all the alarms in the WSA [weapons storage area] went off.  That’s nonsense. If that had happened, there would have been a response to behold, it would have even been up channeled,” Halt explained. “No one else mentions alarms and I read the Law Enforcement and Security Blotters every morning and no mention was made of even a single alarm. Steve has commingled the first and third night.”

Halt has recalled many times, and it is in his memo, he was not there the first night. In fact, in several interviews, Halt has said he was skeptical of the UFO claims made the first night and did not expect to see anything out of the ordinary when he went out on the night of the second UFO sighting. So, Longero could not have seen Halt the first night.

Halt says Warren was not there that night either, and has said so himself. According to Halt, others have confirmed that Warren was in the dorm that night.

Halt also points out, “Longero was posted miles way at RAF Bentwaters and could only know what he heard on the police radio.”

As for the night Halt was in the forest, he says Longero was not on duty that night and was not there.

1980 was a long time ago, and it could be that Longero is not remembering the events correctly. He may have seen the light overhead on the second night while on base.

Halt speculates that Longero could be trying to help Warren. Warren was the first person to talk to the press about the events in the Rendlesham Forest. However, Halt has disagreed with many of the claims made by Warren, and in Mantle’s interview, Longero does claim to know and like Warren.

Halt says he never wanted to get involved with this UFO case in the first place, but once the memo and the audio recording were leaked to the press, he felt the need to set the record straight.

When details of the events of those nights comes out that is not accurate, Halt often feels compelled to speak up. He says, “As someone that didn’t want to get involved, was thrust into it and only reluctantly spoke out to get the truth out, it’s frustrating.”

Halt has a new book out titled The Halt Perspective. It is available on Amazon. He says people can read the book to get accurate details on the events of those nights. Halt will also be presenting this February at the International UFO Congress.

Parallel Universes and the Déjà Vu phenomenon: A mysterious mindboggling connection

It is possible that Parallel Universes and the Déjà Vu phenomenon are mysteriously connected

Most of us have had, at least once in our lifetime a ‘déjà vu’ experience, that mysterious feeling where time seems to pass by in slow-motion, where you perceive information in such a way as if you had already experienced the current situation sometime in the distant past.

Ranging from paranormal disturbances and neurological disorders, researchers have been trying to explain the mysterious phenomenon for decades, yet no one has been able to understand fully how we can live the ‘déjà vu’ phenomenon so inanely.

‘Déjà Vu,’ which originates from the French languages and means ‘already seen’ is a rather common occurrence that we know very little of. When you come to experience a ‘déjà vu’ moment you feel mysteriously overtaken by a mysterious force which unconsciously tells you ‘this already happened before.’

The ‘déjà vu’ phenomenon is reported occurring on an occasional basis in 60-80% of people around the world. It is an experience almost always transient and occurs randomly.

Many researchers propose that the phenomenon is an experience based on memory and assume that the memory centers in the brain are responsible for the ‘déjà vu’ phenomenon. However, there are those who associate the ‘déjà vu’ phenomenon with prophecies, past life experiences or memories, clairvoyance, or a mystic signpost which could indicate a sense of fulfillment of a ‘predetermined’ condition in life.

A Déjà vu experience occurs quickly, without warning and has no physical manifestation apart from the announcement: “I just had a déjà vu”.

But if all of the above cannot explain this mysterious feeling that nearly everyone experience once in a lifetime, then what can?

There are some who have connected the ‘déjà vu’ phenomenon with the existence of parallel universes.

Parallel universes? But… do they exist?

Well actually, Scientists might have spotted another universe sitting next to our own. According to astronomers, light spotted in outer space might have ‘spilled through’ from another universe very close to our own. The bright patches could be in fact leftovers from another universe that began in the vicinity of our own according to scientific study. Scientists believe that they can actually get a peek at one if the said universe started out close enough to our universe, so the two were able to ‘touch’ which would then leave a viewable signature in our universe. In order to find these signatures, scientists have compared a map of the cosmic microwave background (which are leftovers from the early universe) with a picture of the entire sky taken by the European Space Agency’s Planck telescope. What they found after left researchers mesmerized. After they had subtracted one from the other, they saw an eerie patch of light in the sky, a patch of light that could be explained as being the remains of collisions with other universes.

But can a Parallel Universe explain a ‘déjà vu’ experience?

According to Dr. Michio Kaku, an American futurist, theoretical physicist and popularizer of science, Parallel universes can explain the mysterious phenomenon and states that quantum physics actually provide the necessary details which suggest déjà vu might be caused by your ability to “flip between different universes.”

The idea that other universes (multiverse theory) exist has been supported by several scientists, among them Professor Steve Weinberg, a theoretical physicist and Nobel Prize winner. According to Professor Weinberg, it is possible that in the same room an infinite number of parallel realities coexist with us.

“Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg likens this multiple universe theory to radio. All around you, there are hundreds of different radio waves being broadcast from distant stations. At any given instant, your office or car or living room is full of these radio waves. However, if you turn on a radio, you can listen to only one frequency at a time; these other frequencies have decohered and are no longer in phase with each other. Each station has a different energy, a different frequency. As a result, your radio can only be turned to one broadcast at a time. Likewise, in our universe, we are “tuned” into the frequency that corresponds to physical reality. But there are an infinite number of parallel realities coexisting with us in the same room, although we cannot “tune into” them. Although these worlds are very much alike, each has a different energy. And because each world consists of trillions upon trillions of atoms, this means that the energy difference can be quite significant. Since the frequency of these waves is proportional to their energy (by Planck’s law), this means that the waves of each world vibrate at different frequencies and cannot interact anymore. For all intents and purposes, the waves of these various worlds do not interact or influence each other.”― Michio Kaku, Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos (source)

All of this means that it is quite possible that, at the exact moment you experienced a ‘déjà vu,’ you are in fact ‘vibrating in unison’ with another parallel universe in the cosmos.
