Aurora Borealis: What Causes the Northern Lights & Where to See Them

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, offer an entrancing, dramatic, magical display that fascinates all who see it — but just what causes this dazzling natural phenomenon?

At the center of our solar system lies the sun, the yellow star that sustains life on our planet. The sun's many magnetic fields distort and twist as our parent star rotates on its axis. When these fields become knotted together, they burst and create so-called sunspots. Usually, these sunspots occur in pairs; the largest can be several times the size of Earth's diameter. 

At the center of the sun, the temperature is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius). As the temperature on its surface rises and falls, the sun boils and bubbles. Particles escape from the star from the sunspot regions on the surface, hurtling particles of plasma, known as solar wind, into space. It takes these winds around 40 hours to reach Earth. When they do, they can cause the dramatic displays known as the aurora borealis. [Infographics: How the Northern Lights Work & Anatomy of Sun Storms & Solar Flares]

Sunspots and cycles

The sunspots and solar storms that cause the most magnificent displays of the northern lights occur roughly every 11 years. The solar cycle peaked in 2013, but it was the weakest solar maximum in a century. [Photos: Amazing Auroras of 2014]

"This solar cycle continues to rank among the weakest on record," Ron Turner of Analytic Services, Inc. who serves as a Senior Science Advisor to NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts program, said in a statement.

Since record-keeping of the ebb and flow of the sun's activity began in 1749, there have been 22 full cycles. Researchers monitor space weather events because they have the potential to affect spacecraft in orbit, knock out power grids and communications infrastructure on Earth, and amp up normal displays of the northern and southern lights. Scientists are also investigating how fluctuations in the sun's activity affect weather on our planet.

Particles and polar attraction

Earth is constantly bombarded with debris, radiation and other magnetic waves from space that could threaten the future of life as we know it. Most of the time, the planet's own magnetic field does an excellent job of deflecting these potentially harmful rays and particles, including those from the sun.

Particles discharged from the sun travel 93 million miles (around 150 million km) toward Earth before they are drawn irresistibly toward the magnetic north and south poles. As the particles pass through the Earth's magnetic shield, they mingle with atoms and molecules of oxygen, nitrogen and other elements that result in the dazzling display of lights in the sky.

The auroras in Earth's Northern Hemisphere are called the aurora borealis. Their southern counterpart, which light up the Antarctic skies in the Southern Hemisphere, are known as the aurora australis.

What causes the colors?

The colors most often associated with the aurora borealis are pink, green, yellow, blue, violet, and occasionally orange and white. Typically, when the particles collide with oxygen, yellow and green are produced. Interactions with nitrogen produce red, violet, and occasionally blue colors. 

The type of collision also makes a difference to the colors that appear in the sky: atomic nitrogen causes blue displays, while molecular nitrogen results in purple. The colors are also affected by altitude. The green lights typically in areas appear up to 150 miles (241 km) high, red above 150 miles; blue usually appears at up to 60 miles (96.5 km); and purple and violet above 60 miles.

These lights may manifest as a static band of light, or, when the solar flares are particularly strong, as a dancing curtain of ever-changing color.

History of the auroral lights

For millennia, the lights have been the source of speculation, superstition and awe. Cave paintings in France thought to date back 30,000 years have illustrations of the natural phenomenon.

In more superstitious times, the northern lights were thought to be a harbinger of war or destruction, before people really understood what causes them. Many classic philosophers, authors and astronomers, including Aristotle, Descartes, Goethe and Halley, refer to the northern lights in their work.

As early as 1616, the astronomer Galileo Galilei used the name aurora borealis to describe them, taking the name of the mythical Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for wind of the north, Boreas.

The aurora australis, or the southern lights, occur around the south polar region. But, since the South Pole is even more inhospitable than the North Pole, it is often trickier to view the southern lights.

Where to see the lights

The best places to see the northern lights are Alaska and northern Canada, but visiting these vast, open expanses is not always easy. Norway, Sweden and Finland also offer excellent vantage points. During periods of particularly active solar flares, the lights can be seen as far south as the top of Scotland and even northern England. [A Guide for Watching Earth's Auroras]

On rare occasions, the lights are seen farther south. They were first observed by European settlers in New England in 1791. In "Historical Storms of New England," published in 1891, Sidney Perley wrote, "May 15, 1719, the more beautiful and brilliant aurora borealis was first observed here as far as any record or tradition of that period inform us, and it is said that in England it was first noticed only three years before this date. In December of the same year the aurora again appeared, and the people became greatly alarmed, not dreading it so much as a means of destruction but as precursor of the fires of the last great day and a sign of coming dangers."

When to see the lights

The northern lights are always present, but winter is usually the best time to see them, due to lower levels of light pollution and the clear, crisp air. September, October, March and April are some of the best months to view the aurora borealis. The lights are known to be brighter and more active for up to two days after sunspot activity is at its highest. Several agencies, such as NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also monitor solar activity and issue aurora alerts when they are expected to put on a particularly impressive show.

Florida witness describes hovering disc UFO

A Florida witness at St. Augustine reported watching a disc-shaped UFO hovering in the night sky before moving out over the ocean, according to testimony in Case 79397 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness is a MUFON Field Investigator who was taking out the trash at 9:39 p.m. on September 25, 2016, when the incident began.

“As I watched my garage door go up, immediately in front of me was a UFO hovering in alignment over the house across the street, but farther behind it,” the witness stated. “See house photo which shows my neighbor’s house, but in daylight.”

The witness immediately recognized the object as something unusual.

“My first thought was ‘OMG a UFO!’ It was way too big for a plane. A second later as the lights strobed and reflected off the body I realized the lights were a wrong color(too much blue) for a plane, and it was far too big and too slow to be a plane, slower than even a slow helicopter. My vision is about 20/35 without my glasses, so I ran inside to get my glasses. It was hovering at about 30 degrees in elevation and 10 degrees north.The sky was mostly clear with only a few clouds (cloud base 3,100-6,500 feet according to the weather report), wind northeast at 8 mph, temperature was 78 degrees and humidity was 78 percent.”

The witness described the object.

“It was disc-shaped, but had sharp points on the top and bottom. There was a larger oval, very bright, white light on the top point that blinked, not strobed. That light was so bright it hurt my eyes. Surrounding the object along its side were strobing multi-colored lights that strobed from white/blue/green/red/ yellow very quickly. They reflected off the body that seemed to be dull gray, but sometimes looked dull amber depending on the color of the lights strobing at the moment. Its speed was quite slow, slower than a slow helicopter.”

The neighbor’s house is used as a reference shot with illustration of UFO above it.

The object also turned off its lights.

“Twice, all of its lights went out at once for about two seconds and then the lights came back on as it hovered in the same place. Initially it hovered for about two minutes over the house, (I counted 110 seconds after I retrieved my glasses) and then it headed east for about 10 seconds, stopped for 2-3 seconds, headed back west for about 10 seconds, stopped for 2-3 seconds, and then headed southeast.It had significant sideways movement as described, but its altitude did not change much other than slight wobbling.”

The object also moved into a cloud at one point.

“Once it went inside a cloud, the cloud lit up with the multi-colored lights and then it came out of the cloud, so its elevation was at least 3,100 feet, meaning it had to be pretty big to appear penny-size at arm’s length and 3,100 feet up.”

The object soon moved away.

“It moved slowly southeast of me and I lost sight of it when it was behind some woods. From its height and distance, it should have been over the Atlantic Ocean at that point. From the direction it moved, it may have been over downtown St. Augustine and/or St. Augustine Beach at some point, so I wonder if MUFON will get more reports. I watched it for a total of approximately six minutes. There were no animal or psychological effects and no missing time.”

St. Augustine is a city in northeastern Florida, the county seat of St. Johns County, population 13,679. MUFON Florida State Section Director Thomas Branham and Field Investigator Julie Taylor are investigating. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge will publish a new non-fiction book about UFOs, Sekret Machines: Gods, March 7th.

DeLonge co-wrote Sekret Machines with Peter Levenda, who has penned numerous books about history and the occult. The new book is based on interviews with scientists, engineers, intelligence officers and military officials. It aims to challenge the way people think about UFO sightings and related phenomena.

Sekret Machines is the opening salvo on the complacency of human institutions where the UFO Phenomenon is concerned," Levenda sid. "It's designed to shake people up, to make them question their assumptions. This book is not only a new take on the Phenomenon – by treating it as a given – but a new approach to religion that takes a hard look at religious texts and ideas from around the world to discern the traces of an event that changed us forever."

DeLonge praised Levenda's input: "It was his ability to frame an esoteric thesis that gave me the ammunition to speak clearly on the subject matter, and that got me in the door."

Sekret Machines will also feature a forward from Jacques Vallée, a computer scientist and one of the most well-known writers and researchers on UFOs (he was the inspiration for Claude Lacombe, the French scientist in Close Encounters With a Third Kind). "The sightings have been ignored by academics, summarily brushed off by politicians, censored by churches, classified by the military and ridiculed by the media," said Vallée. "Yet the reports continue to come. The experience of the unknown has only deepened, raising unsettling questions about the intrusion of the uncanny in our shiny modern world of convenient machines and superficial entertainment."

Sekret Machines: Gods marks DeLonge's first non-fiction book after co-authoring several novels over the past few years. The books are part of a larger multi-media project, To the Stars, which DeLonge has thrown himself into since splitting with Blink-182. To the Stars also includes music and film, and DeLonge told Rolling Stone that he's been gleaning information from officials in the aerospace industry, the Department of Defense and NASA.

"It's very hard to think, 'How did this guy in a band get access like that?'" DeLonge said. "It sounds crazy. But it's because I can speak to a very specific audience. I earned their trust. I knew my material."

Swarm of mysterious 'UFOs' spotted in Bristol after bizarre claims BT Tower is used as spaceship refuelling station

There have been several similar sightings of UFOs in the area already this year as residents remain baffled

BY LEWIS PENNOCKTRISTAN CORKKARA O'NEILL

A swarm of mysterious lights has been spotted and filmed over Bristol as bizarre claims emerge that the BT Tower located there is actually a refuelling station for alien spaceships .

The orange blips were filmed gliding over houses in Hengrove by mum-of-one Kelly Maynard.

The intriguing footage was shared just days after a Bristol Post reader shared their theory that a BT tower in Purdown is a refuelling station for spaceships.

A similar sighting was also recorded in January over Siston Common, near Mangotsfield.

"I looked up and there were several orange lights moving quite fast in the sky," said 36-year-old Kelly, who shared the footage to a Facebook page called 'The Universe'.

"It was about six or seven at night and I ran in and grabbed my phone. On my Facebook somebody said it was lanterns but then they saw the video and said they didn't know what it was.

"I have never seen anything like it. I could not believe it.

"I've got no explanation for it, so it must be something mysterious."

The video shows three orange blips moving through the sky, but Kelly said she actually saw ten to 15 of the unidentified objects before the camera started rolling, reports the Bristol Post .

The footage was recorded on a Saturday night in January, Kelly said, but she decided to share it online this week in the hope of finding answers.

It comes as claims have been made that that Purdown BT Tower, which dominates the skyline over north and east Bristol is a refuelling station for UFOs .

Writing to the Bristol Post from Montpelier, Ernest B Skidmore has spoken of an unusual experience he had near the tower, on the same day as a UFO was spotted and filmed by the police helicopter over the Bristol Channel.

He even claims the shape of a copse of trees nearby spells out the letter B – and is some kind of sign for UFOs that they can refuel there.

The tower, near the Stoke Park estate, has been a Bristol landmark for decades, and contains communications equipment.

By March, the FBI won't let you email in FOIA requests

David Lumb

Formal requests citing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) have been a powerful tool in the public's efforts to legally get info from the government. And not just for yourself: Once a FOIA request runs its lengthy course, an official body often releases that intel publicly -- for example, when the CIA published 12 million declassified documents last month on everything from Nazis to UFOs. While they take time to fulfill, most agencies allow citizens to easily submit FOIA inquiries using email, with some notable exceptions relying on older communication methods. But on March 1st, the FBI is intentionally rolling back the technological clock, and will only allow requests via fax or snail mail, plus a limited amount through their online portal.

This will undoubtedly hinder the public's ability to get information from the agency. On top of eliminating a far less burdensome method of communication, submitting through the FBI's portal requires including personal information, including phone number and address, and agree to the site's terms of service. Nested in the TOS is the requirement that users only make one FOIA request per submission per day.

As The Daily Dot points out, there is no legal limit on how many folks can submit daily, and since one could just send in other requests via fax or snail mail, the FBI isn't preventing people from making more inquiries. But it does put enormous onus on the requester for little apparent reason.

"It's a huge step backwards for the FBI to switch from a proven, ubiquitous, user-friendly technology like email to a portal that has consistently shown problems, ranging from restricting how often citizens can access their right to government oversight to legitimate privacy concerns," Michael Morisy, co-founder of the public records request tracking nonprofit MuckRock, told The Daily Dot. "Given that email has worked well for millions of requests over the years, this seems like a move designed to reduce participation and transparency, and we hope that the FBI will reverse course."

Citizens and groups have sued the FBI on behalf of FOIA requests to facilitate its review and release of documents. Last December, VICE brought a joint lawsuit against the agency alongside 50 inquiries related to its activities and disclosures immediately leading up to the election. But deliberately using outdated technology to slow down the process isn't a new strategy for government agencies, either: In July 2016, the Department of Justice was sued for refusing to upgrade their decades-old machines, thereby deliberately prolonging the process.

Secret UFO police may actually exist, and they were spotted in Florida. This special police unit may be responsible for containing any alien activity. That is before it goes public. YouTube channel secureteam10 posted images of what looks like regular cop cars, but with bold letters saying “UFO Response Team.” The odd labeling was on the back and sides of the cruisers. Are there alien cops patrolling the streets of Florida? Or is this just another government distraction to hide the real truth?

Florida UFO police are different than other cops; will we see alien perpetrators in the back of these cars soon?

The first image sent in from Cape Coral, Florida clearly shows a police cruiser with UFO Response Team boldly placed for all to see. Tyler from secureteam10 says the viewer who sent in the photo said that the cop car was indeed different from the normal Crown Victoria’s seen on the road. The eyewitness also said that the cop was working on his car’s laptop as well. Sounds like a real cop, doesn’t it? Was the cop responding to a possible alien sighting?

Increase in UFO activity has led to more alien police units; Men in Black chase 5 aliens in Florida

Reports of five UFOs in Florida by a son and father have led to more UFO police in the state. There have also been rumors of Men in Black type officials chasing aliens as well. The father and son claimed to see over five UFOs, and they were not the only ones. Supporting reports of the same sighting is evidence that alien activity is on the rise. Men in Black officials were also rumored to be in the state. The believers think that the agents are attempting to keep the truth about aliens secret. Since those heavily guarded secrets could cause society to collapse.

UFO Police may be for a movie, but the Alien cops could be Necessary in the wake of a 2017 invasion

The images of UFO police may also be the result of a new Resident Evil movie one viewer said. Regardless of why the alien cruisers exist, they may become a necessity if the 2017 invasion by aliens is real. The predictions have come from believers, the Bible, and even former President Eisenhower’s great-granddaughter. What will become of Earth within the next year?

Here's what it's like to be a UFO investigator in Florida, USA

Posted By Monivette Cordeiro 

Hundreds of people descended into Lake Buena Vista last weekend to talk aliens at a symposium for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), an organization that scientifically investigates and collects data on UFO sightings and other phenomena. 

While some people scoff at the notion of otherworldly beings, many are interested and they're not all wearing tin foil hats or running weird shows on the History Channel. 

Orlando Weekly talked to Morgan Beall, the Florida state director for MUFON, about the kinds of things he sees when he's investigating the weird parts of the Sunshine State that don't involve the Florida man.

More Red Planet Exploration in the Cards

As one gets older, the years go by like pages flipped in a book. One can barely make out the letters on the current page when the next page flips and then the page after that. So when we look at European Space Agency (ESA) projects that seem stuck in slow motion, we can be sure that they’ll be here before we know it.

ExoMars Mission is a story with many chapters, the first of which was ExoMars blasting off in March 2016 for the Red Planet to search for methane in the Martian atmosphere. The Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) was to search for trace gasses that would help scientists understand if there is life on the surface of the planet. It was also expected to test a number of instruments, perform orbit calibration measurements, and send pictures back to Earth.

A Setback for ESA, But a Setback They Will Learn From

Unfortunately, the Schiaparelli lander unexpectedly crash landed onto the surface of Mars even though the atmospheric entry and flight path went exactly as planned. In subsequent analysis, ESA determined that a computer glitch during descent caused the crash. Fortunately, the lander was able to collect nearly all of the data intended for the mission before crashing.

The following video, ExoMars – A Promising Future, explains why the ESA member states have decided to continue with the project that will deploy a rover on Mars and search for signs of life to a depth of 6.56 feet (2 meters).

New US Missile Hits Target in Space

The US Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency and Raytheon have successfully tested a missile that intercepts enemy missiles in space.

The idea for the mission was conceived and motivated, in part, by Star Wars, according to Scout Warrior’s Kris Osborn. “Now that technology is getting better,” he said, “exoatmospheric” missiles can intercept short- and medium-range ballistic missiles descending from outer space. The anti-missile technology would come in handy if the medium-range DF-16 missile tested by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army gets deployed.

The next-generation missile is being developed by both Washington and Tokyo, Scout reported. Further, the US plans to deploy the missile in Poland by 2018. The successful launch took place in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii.

Raytheon said that the 21-inch airframe allows US and Japanese forces to defend a larger area. “Now we have a higher sensitivity—so that is just a better seeker,” Raytheon SM-3 program director Amy Cohen said.

“The SM-3 Block IIA missile is a larger version of the SM-3 IB in terms of boosters and the kinetic warhead, which allows for increased operating time,” the Missile Defense Agency said in a statement. Other officials asserted that the test was a “critical milestone” and that it was a “vitally important” achievement for preparing against “increasing ballistic missile threats around the world.”

The administration of US President Donald Trump has made state-of-the-art missile defense a top priority.

NEW DOCUMENTARY CLAIMS ATLANTIS WAS REAL AND REVEALS THE LOST CITY’S LOCATION

Atlantis is generally considered to be a mythical story about an advanced and highly successful civilization which thought it would reign supreme over the rest of the world indefinitely until it suddenly sank beneath the waves. The story of Atlantis is usually interpreted as an allegorical legend relating to the inevitable collapse of great civilizations, but could it be that the myth is grounded in fact? According to James Cameron, who has produced and directed a new documentary on the topic, it is likely that Atlantis was a real place.

JAMES CAMERON TRIES TO DISCOVER THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS

The lost civilization of Atlantis has been a subject of fierce debate for more than two thousand years among prominent figures in philosophy, history, and archaeology. The only thing that modern day academics seem to agree on when it comes to the legendary city is that the first written documentation relating to it was relayed by the philosopher, Plato.

Plato wrote that Atlantis stood head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the world because of its association with the god Poseidon and his son Atlas who was anointed its king. The Atlanteans became one of the most powerful nations in the world through their military prowess and their extraordinarily advanced technology. This led to them becoming a dominant imperial power that conquered the entirety of Africa and a significant portion of Europe. However, the region was struck with a series of violent earthquakes and floods in the course of a single day and night. Plato writes that Atlantis was then ‘swallowed up by the Earth and the island of Atlantis…disappeared into the depths of the sea, ’ an act he attributed to divine retribution.

Plato was writing thousands of years after Atlantis apparently stood as a dominant world power. He received his information about the legendary city through the oral tradition. As the story passed to Plato through this method, one might expect it to contain embellishments and fictional elements. However, it does not necessarily follow that this means the entire story is a fabrication. Could it be that Atlantis really existed?

Getting to the truth of the matter is the goal of director James Cameron whose team used Plato’s texts in a bid to reveal where the lost city of Atlantis could have stood. The documentary takes viewers to some locations hoping to uncover significant clues that would indicate that an incredible and sophisticated civilization is lying beneath the waves.

New Images of Mars Show Winter Wonderland

Cassie Kelly

If there is a Martian version of Santa Claus, this is where he would live. The European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter has been delivering a steady stream of images of the planet’s surface since 2004. Scientists recently pieced them all together for a mosaic revealing the stunning snow-capped canyons of the northern polar ice cap on the Red Planet.

The Martian north pole is roughly the size of the Greenland Ice Sheet on Earth and the “snow” is just over a mile deep, filling in the planet’s Chasma Boreale Canyon, which is about the same depth as the Grand Canyon.

But, the white fluffy stuff isn’t the type of snow one might use to build a snowmartian with. It consists primarily of precipitated carbon dioxide from Mars’s atmosphere, and only occurs during the winter season — which is about four months long. As the planet begins to warm up again, most of the cap will evaporate back into the atmosphere.

Mars also has its own Coriolis effect, which causes moving objects on Earth’s surface to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This force likely created gusts of wind that push the snow into the pinwheel formations seen below.

In this mosaic, you can see where the center of Mars' north pole. 

As the Mars Express orbiter continues to deliver data about the climate and atmosphere of the planet back to scientists, they are able to unravel its mysteries and determine if it is hospitable for life — specifically human life.

Other intriguing information from the Mars Express has found that the planet once harbored water and volcanic activity, and clues that the atmosphere may contain methane. They’re all signs that maybe Earthlings weren’t the first living creatures in our solar system.

The witness was outside reading on a deck at 7 p.m. on April 21, 2016, when the incident occurred.

“I am told that military pilots train in the mountains around where I live and I’ve always enjoyed seeing them fly through,” the witness stated.“This happens all the time. Jets and helicopters are a common sighting. So I naturally saw the jet and did a double take, because there was something following it.”

The witness thought that the object looked strange – possibly something the military built, but not a jet.

“I knew it wasn’t a jet because it was actually right behind one. The jet it was chasing left a long contrail behind it, but the UFO did not. The UFO was gaining on the jet. No helicopter could do that. I was blown away and luckily got out my phone in time to take a video. I watched the object gaining on the jet for about 10 seconds when I lost them in the trees.”

The witness felt excited and anxious at the sighting.

“I felt I had witnessed something very hard to dismiss as a weather balloon or some obvious type of aircraft. Shortly after the jet and object left my range of sight I saw three more jets and one helicopter going the same direction (in my opinion chasing the UFO). I also got another video of those other aircraft. I would like to show the video to an aviation expert and maybe get an explanation. I’m uploading to MUFON hoping for answers.”

Glowing Object Falls From Sky Seen Over Several States, Feb 6, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Feb 6, 2017
Location of sighting: Wisconsin, USA
News source: 

http://www.onenewspage.com/video/20170206/6794697/Possible-meteor-seen-in-WI.htm

This object was recorded over several states and news says it was headed straight for Lake Michigan which is a perfect hiding place for an underwater alien base. This could be a meteorite, but it also could be an alien craft trying to camouflage as a meteor so that eyewitnesses and cameras operators will dismiss it.

10 Meter UFO On Legs Hauled In Trailer Across Missouri At Midnight, Feb 2017, Videos, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: February 2017
Location of sighting: Central Missouri, USA
Source 1: http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/132/S132436.html
Source 2: https://www.youtube.com/user/unitedlove77/videos

There are two reports of this craft being hauled on a trailer. One of them also has a video, and says its probably headed to Area 51. As you can see, this is an all new video of a disk being carried by military personal with a police escort. The disk is huge, about 10 meters a gross and stands on three legs. These two reports back up each other and are proof it occurred. 

Some people will ask, if its a UFO, why don't they fly it where they have got to go? Because if it was recently traded from aliens to humans, like in the past, it takes a lot of time to practice flying these things to get the hand of it. Also the USAF don't have UFO pilots just hanging around doing nothing. The last thing the USAF wants is a UFO crash in the middle of some city because a pilot thought he could handle it, but was wrong. 

Also, if it wasn't a UFO, then why are they hiding it by transporting it at midnight?

Thanks
