Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    Mystery messages engraved into Scotland’s rocks up to 5,000 years ago might soon be unveiled using 3D scans

    Although their meaning has been lost to history, distinctive marks on Scottish rocks from ancient peoples provide a link to our past.

    Recently, a new project has launched an attempt to finally solve the mysteries of prehistoric stone carvings. Using 3D scanning to record and examine more than 2,000 carvings around the country, specialists are creating a new digital database of the mysterious etchings.

    Ring and cup marks are a form of ancient art that found widely around the world. The symbols date back to the early Neolithic, through the Bronze Age, and into the Iron Age.

    Many of these carvings have been discovered on outcrops and boulders that overlook ancient travel and trade routes. Their association with water holes and hunting grounds suggests the possibility that they were used to mark these places. They may also have been marks of territorial ownership.

    Later examples have been discovered in association with ceremonial or burial locations, implying that the markings might have held sacred significance.

    Amateur archaeologist George Currie assists with the database project. He has tracked 670 examples of the ancient engravings which they think could be up to 5,000 years old.For the past 13 years, archaeologists have photographed, searched, and logged the locations of cup-and-ring markings. Ancient artworks as well include forms that resemble human footprints that are etched into the solid rock.

    There are an estimated 6,000 rings and cup engravings known across Britain, a third of which are located in Scotland. However, their significance is still not well understood.

    The Art and Humanities Research Council has awarded £807,000 to the Historic Environment Scotland to run the project that is called Scotland’s Rock Art.

    Cup and ring marks survive in large numbers from Scotland and have been suggested to have a variety of meanings

    This five-year project is set to be launched in January of 2017. Archaeologists say that some carvings have been discovered on stones embedded in the ground, while others were found buried in ancient grave sites.

    One of the oldest of the carved rocks was found in association with a burial ground that dates back to 3,400 BC. It was already well worn, which proposes that the carvings were much older than the actual burial.

    It might have been that these carvings held some importance long after they were created, Mail Online reported.

    This project that is set to be launched will help unveil some of the mysteries of the ring and cup symbols.

    Here is another story from us: Mystery surrounding a massive woolly mammoth graveyard

    Perhaps it can also help to explain some of the links between ancient communities across the countries of Europe.

    The team is looking forward to getting out into the field, creating new findings, getting new knowledge, and sharing this on an international stage.

    In the being that is above we can see in his hands, what seem eyes, or holes, also around his head we could say that the sun rises.
    The object under the Alien-type Being, resembles a ship or galaxy.

    The side cylinders that leave the circle look like glass containers with something inside.
    Inside the central circle there is a sun making a spiral and the representation of two Pharaohs.

    At the bottom, on the right and left are two winged angels, who remember by their form the Ark of the covenant. Alongside the winged angels are Isis and Horus.

    The archaeologist Professor Winwood. He allegedly stole several objects from the tomb and years later would publish them in a magazine, this English archeologist was arrested and the recovered objects were placed in custody of the museum, objects were called in the so-called forbidden area of ​​archeology.

    This area is where objects that are not attached to the protocol hierarchy and to the beliefs of official science, hiding them from the public. In January 2011 after the Egyptian riots, many treasures were removed from the Cairo museum among them allegedly this medallion, which was put up for sale on the Internet black market in 2012.

    A group of people who worked on the renovation of a house in southern Egypt found a number of very rare coins.

    VIDEO: Is deze enorme verzonken piramide voor de kust van Yonaguni gebouwd door aliens?

    In 1987 deed de Japanse duiker Kihachiro Aratake een schokkende ontdekking in de buurt van het eiland Yonaguni.

    Op enkele tientallen meters onder het wateroppervlak stuitte hij op een enorm complex van rotsformaties.

    Experts spraken van één van de grootste ontdekkingen in de geschiedenis van onderwaterarcheologie.

    Meerdere redenen

    “Het intrigerende aan het complex bij Yonaguni is dat er veel verschillende monumenten zijn te vinden die vlak bij elkaar liggen,” zegt schrijver Graham Hancock.

    “In mijn ogen is dit het werk van mensen en zijn ze niet ontstaan als gevolg van de invloed van de oceaan op het gesteente,” vervolgt hij.

    Er zijn volgens emeritus hoogleraar Masaaki Kimura van de Ryukyus-universiteit in Japan meerdere redenen om aan te nemen dat we hier niet te maken hebben met een natuurlijke formatie.

    Twee voetbalvelden

    Zo werden er op de plek meerdere stukken gereedschap en gegraveerde stenen aangetroffen.

    “Er is geen twijfel over mogelijk dat dit [complex] is gemaakt door mensenhanden,” zegt professor Kimura.

    Het complex, dat zich op een diepte van zo’n 30 meter bevindt, bestaat onder meer uit een trappiramide die even groot is als twee voetbalvelden.

    Drakendriehoek

    Volgens Hancock waren de beschavingen die in de steentijd leefden niet in staat om zo’n enorm complex te realiseren.

    “Er wordt gespeculeerd dat het Yonaguni-monument het werk is van buitenaardse wezens,” zegt schrijver en publicist Bill Birnes.

    Het monument bevindt zich in een deel van de Grote Oceaan dat al geruime tijd wordt geassocieerd met buitenaardse activiteit, namelijk de Drakendriehoek.

    Extraterrestrial Sighting: Woman Claims To Have Seen UFOs Twice In The Last Week

    ufo-nevada

    Las Vegas is a UFO hotspot and known for a lot of strange activities. Some conspiracy theorists suggest that the Nellis Air Force Base, located just on the outskirts of Las Vegas, is where the Tall Whites are basing, particularly near the old firing range area. Nellis is said to be taking up to 1,350 square miles, and its size is believed to be enough for aliens to build underground bases.

    Tall White aliens allegedly go for the outside walk sometimes, so the USAF apparently provides them space for them not to accidentally encounter a person. Tall Whites are known to be killing hungry and even aggressive to U.S. soldiers. Some UFO researchers believe that the woman saw Tall White UFOs near the Nellis AFB.

    A woman claimed that she had seen similar mysterious light two times over her home near Martin Luther King Boulevard and Carey Avenue, North Las Vegas. Gwendolyn Mathews believed it was a UFO.  She stated her sighting started on Sunday at around 7:30 pm when she noticed a light not moving while recording a video on Facebook Live for over an hour.

    The woman further claimed that she observed it having legs coming out of it when she zoomed in with her binoculars. She said that similar light appeared again on Tuesday night. Mathews is convinced that she witnessed a UFO activity.

    Mathews reportedly contacted the North Las Vegas Airport and McCarran Airport to ask about the UFO. However, they referred her to the FAA, who told her that they had no any strange aircraft activity in the area.

    Daytime video: UFO fleet over South Gate, California

    Location: South Gate, CA
    Date: 1/30/17
    Submitted by Jay

    Witness report:

    Daniel captures the spectacular fleet of UFOs in South Gate, California, on January 30, 2017. This batch of UFOs compliments an actual flying saucer he filmed last week. The fleet was captured in his backyard at 9:59am with his Nikon P900. Daniel just looked up in the sky and saw a 2 inch cluster array of white orbs. He immediately ran into his house, grabbed his camera and tripod and began to fill this incredible sight. This one is for the history books. Notice how the orbs maintained an equidistance from each other except for one, possibly the commander that moved among them. This one is a sight to behold. Don’t deny or dismiss what is obvious to see.

    The Future Belongs to Flying Robots

    Adam Vilimek/Shutterstock
    IN BRIEF
    The University of California system’s Center of Excellence on Unmanned Aircraft System Safety is hard at work looking into the future of unmanned aircraft. The director sees a lot of potential in the technology for agriculture, environmental, and even social opportunities.

    The once-small community of drone hobbyists has transformed into a worldwide phenomenon. In 2016 especially, significant technology improvements and regulatory clarity have paved the way for even more dramatic changes in the coming years.

    Among the biggest adopters of drones, and experimenters with them, have been universities. As the director of the University of California system’s Center of Excellence on Unmanned Aircraft System Safety – effectively the drone headquarters of our whole 10-campus system – I have an excellent view of the drone industry’s past, present and future.

    The truly surprising details are about how wide and diverse a range of purposes drones are serving on our campuses – and what’s coming next. As we begin exploring what drones can do, and identifying what social and commercial uses they might serve, the work provides a glimpse into the future of drone flight across the country, and throughout our economy.

    ENGINEERING RESEARCH

    Drones have only recently reached the commercial mainstream. However, university engineering departments have been designing and building them for decades. For years, engineering students, for instance, have studied the advanced control algorithms that keep drones flying level and straight. Their work has helped bring us to the point where drones are even available for sale in toy stores.

    It is no surprise that our engineers are still working on drones and related technology such as sensors, automation and innovative platforms. Some introductory engineering classes involve students building and flying drones; more advanced students learn about flight dynamics and algorithms that help drones stay aloft.

    In recent years, though, our engineering departments are focusing less on building the aircraft and more on improving safety, navigation and ability to carry equipment that allows drones to help with different tasks.

    For example, researchers are developing navigation systems that don’t rely on GPS satellites. This could help allow drones to navigate autonomously inside buildings, in deep canyons, underground or other places where GPS signals are unavailable or unreliable. Whether delivering packages to remote locations or handling emergency tasks in hazardous conditions, this type of capability could significantly expand drones’ usefulness.

    Another research group is working on ways for drones to help detect gas leaks from oil pipelines. With millions of miles of pipelines across the country, that is a monumental task. Attaching methane-sniffing sensors to drones could make it much easier: Autonomous drones could fly the routes of every pipeline nearly constantly, registering the location and volume of leaks, and alerting repair and cleanup crews.

    GROWTH IN AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL WORK

    Our largest use of drones has been out in the fields. Two-thirds of the UC system’s drone flights, which encompass thousands of flights and hundreds of flight hours, have been for agricultural and environmental research. This suggests that those areas could provide breakout opportunities for drone uses.

    Some scholars have found many ways drones can replace existing manned aircraft, like with a pesticide-spraying helicopter that could reduce time and costs and provide safer operations. But the biggest factor has been how easy drones make it to collect data that were extremely difficult, or even impossible, to collect before.

    For example, drones with special thermal cameras are allowing researchers to investigate water consumption rates of several varieties of crops in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The drones’ data collection is so detailed that the scholars can count individual melons, allowing much better estimates of crop yield. When farmers know much more precisely how big the harvest will be, they can better estimate how much money they’ll make – and can make better budget decisions with the information.

    Drones are also proving themselves useful in high-resolution aerial coastal survey mapping. In the past, researchers walked along the coast and took pictures to survey areas. This was difficult to do without disturbing wildlife. In addition, surveyors would take pictures from small planes to model and predict coastal erosion and flooding. With drones, they’re able to collect data more frequently with greater detail, and do a better job mapping and analyzing environmental data. That helps improve our understanding of coastal ecology, and prepares local residents and communities for possible disasters because the drones are able to get closer to certain environments which scientists will be able extract more information from.

    For instance, when monitoring giant sequoias, a team of five to seven people would have to map the area, which would take about a week. A drone flight has been able to replace that work with a two-minute flight. That makes it easier to track how the trees are growing and responding to changes in their environment.

    BEYOND THE ACADEMIC REALM

    To meet the demand from people with no experience in drone technology, we have developed special workshops for students, staff, faculty and UC research partners to learn about drone technology, regulations and flight instruction.

    Campus film and media departments regularly use drones to make sweeping images of our scenic campus locations for promotional videos and reports. Beyond that, though, university facilities workers have been using drones to monitor construction sites, inspect building areas that are hard to get to (like roofs) and keep an eye on the university’s sizable landholdings. All of these uses can significantly improve worker safety, productivity and cost savings.

    Students are also using drones recreationally, which has raised safety and privacy concerns on our campuses, just as it has off-campus. With plenty of green spaces, many students want to fly their drones and other model aircraft on campus, even near dorms or other housing. We’ve addressed this need with respectful solutions like helping students form clubs and organizing flying events, either on campus fields reserved for the day, or at off-campus parks. We are also seeing what may be the beginnings of a collegiate Drone Racing League.

    This sort of just-for-fun experimentation can make it challenging to regulate drone flights based on what the drone is doing. But universities are often test locations for new technologies. Our work – both formal and recreational – encourages creativity and can foster an entrepreneurial spirit. We can expect that at least some of these early uses for drones will eventually spill into the commercial and consumer markets.

    Japan Has Created Black Mirror-Inspired Bee Drones
     
    DRAPER
    IN BRIEF
    • Researchers in Japan have created insect-sized drones capable of artificial pollination, thanks to the help of horse hair and an ionic sticky gel.
    • As bees enter the endangered species list in the United States, these natural pollinators will need all the help they can get.

    ACCIDENTALLY REDISCOVERED

    Be careful what you tweet. Credit: Netflix

    In the final episode of Netflix’s Black Mirror, the government claims to be using Autonomous Drone Insects to counteract the collapse of the bee population. Spoiler alert: they’re lying.

    It’s soon discovered that these bee drones are actually being used for mass public surveillance. Worse, the drones are programmed to kill. The deaths are linked to a website promoting a ‘Game of Consequence’ where Twitter users can vote to kill one hated public figure using the hashtag ‘#DeathTo.’

    Now, similar drones are coming to Japan, without all the government secrets and Twitter deaths (we assume). Japan’s insect-sized drones were turned into artificial pollinators with the help of a coating of horse hair and an ionic sticky gel. The drones work like bees and use their hairs to pick up pollen from one flower and deposit it into another.

    Researchers from Japan actually discovered this ionic gel accidentally, and then published their work in the journal Chem. Back in 2007, one of the researchers, chemist Eijiro Miyako, was working on possible liquid electrical conductors. One attempt to do so produced a wax-like sticky gel. The gel was shelved after Miyako considered it a failure. It was rediscovered after a decade during a lab cleanup and, to Miyako’s surprise, the gel remained unchanged.

    “This project is the result of serendipity,” Miyako said. “We were surprised that after 8 years, the ionic gel didn’t degrade and was still so viscous. Conventional gels are mainly made of water and can’t be used for a long time, so we decided to use this material for research.”

    Miyako tested the pollen-grasping abilities of the gel by coating ants with it, which he then left to roam free in a box of tulips. Researchers observed that ants coated with the gel were able to collect more pollen than those that weren’t. In addition, a separate test applying the gel to houseflies revealed that it changes color when exposed to different sources of light — potentially giving it a camouflage effect that can help artificial pollinators avoid predators.

    DRONES HELPING NATURE

    With the gel tested and proven to be sticky enough, the next thing to do was to look for the artificial pollinator. Miyako found a $100-four propeller drone and gave it a fuzzy, bee-like exterior. It was the team’s AIST colleagues Masayoshi Tange and Yue Yu who decided to use horse hair on the drone’s surface. These bristles gave more surface area for pollen to attach to, and at the same time, provided electric charge that kept the pollens in place.

    The drones were tested on Japanese lilies, with the team flying them by remote control. The drones would pick up pollen from one flower, and then flew to another flower to deposit the pollen.

    “The findings, which will have applications for agriculture and robotics, among others, could lead to the development of artificial pollinators and help counter the problems caused by declining honeybee populations,” Miyako said. “We believe that robotic pollinators could be trained to learn pollination paths using global positioning systems and artificial intelligence.”

    As bees enter the endangered species list in the United States, these natural pollinators will need all the help they can get. Artificial pollinators can lessen the burden of modern agricultural demand, giving the bees breathing space to recover their numbers. Hopefully, these drones won’t turn out to the way their Black Mirror counterparts did, but we can worry about that later. For now, getting these drones out there to see just how much they could help will keep the world pollinated.

    Lunar Eclipse as Art

    How to Watch Tonight's Penumbral Lunar Eclipse and Comet 45P

    If you haven’t heard of a penumbral lunar eclipse, now’s the time to learn. Because on Friday night, February 10, North Americans will have a front-row seat for the penumbral lunar eclipse is different than a total lunar eclipse. Instead of the sun, Earth, and moon aligning perfectly, a penumbral eclipse involves the moon passing through the outer part of Earth’s shadow, so only a small sliver of sunlight bounces off.

    The eclipse lasts for about four and a half hours and will occur in the early evening hours if you’re on the East Coast. The best time to watch will be between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Eastern. The peak of the effect will be around 7:45 p.m., when the moon is almost fully immersed in the penumbra shadow.

    The moon will be blocked by Earth's outer shadow, the penumbra.
    The moon will be blocked by Earth's outer shadow, the penumbra. 

    Earth’s shadow has two dimensions: the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the stronger, denser shadow, which blocks the moon entirely during a total eclipse, offering up a few moments of complete darkness. But, the penumbra shadow is very faint, so the moon will simply just look dimmer.

    No special equipment is needed to see the show, just look toward the eastern sky and watch as the moon becomes duskier. It should be easy to see as Friday night is also a full moon, known as the “Snow Moon.”

    Penumbrals occur two to four times a year, making them fairly common for our celestial calendar. Total lunar eclipses are much more rare and the next one won’t be until January 2018.

    Comet 45P
    Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova will make a close pass traveling at 22.91 km/second, to the Earth-Moon system, at 3:23 a.m. Eastern time.

    If you stay up late enough on Friday, you can look to the Western sky for Comet 45P/Honda–Mrkos–Pajdušáková — but you won’t see it, which streaks by by around 3 a.m. Eastern, but if you’re up, know that it will be a pale green color (from its fluorescent carbon gas).

    “You will need an extremely dark sky and optical aid (at least binoculars, probably a telescope) to see this comet,” advises Deborah Byrd of EarthSky, about Comet 45P.

    So, if you’re looking for a change of pace this Friday night, ditch the TV and watch the night sky. If you can’t make it outside, watch the “Full Snow Moon Eclipse” broadcast.

    This Star Is So Bright, Scientists Can't Even See It

    Alittle thing in outer space known as AG Carinae is one of the brightest objects ever observed. That’s saying a lot for a universe that has about one billion trillion stars and counting. But this particular star is so bright, scientists can’t even visualize it. The extreme glare coming from this Hubble Space Telescope image completely shrouds the star itself — a small pinpoint compared to the monstrous light it gives off. The criss-cross pattern is also just a glare-like effect caused by the telescope.

    AG Carinae is one of the brightest objects in the universe.
    AG Carinae is one of the brightest objects in the universe.

    The star is classified as a luminous blue variable star — the equivalent of being on the varsity team for star brightness competitions. There are about twenty known LBVs in the universe, one of which is also located in the constellation Carina along with AG. Though scientists are still unraveling the mysteries of variable stars, they do know that the powerful light signifies the beginning of the end for this blue supergiant.

    In a process of decay, AG Carinae has already shed 15 times the mass of the sun in a massive outburst of stellar material about 10,000 years ago, which has formed a beautiful celestial ring around the star. The cavity between the gaseous ring and the star itself is void. Scientists think this is because strong pressurized winds moving at almost five million miles an hour are keeping the dust at bay.

    For AG Carinae, the end is nigh. In a few million years it will reach supernova stage and burst into one of the brightest explosions the Milky Way has ever seen.

    Here’s Our Plan If We Meet Aliens

     
    IN BRIEF
    • The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) League has an abundant list of protocols concerning contact with life on other planets.
    • We can’t know for sure what to expect if, and when, aliens make contact, but our attempts to prepare give us fascinating insight into our own hopes and fears.

    DO ALIENS EXIST?

    For most of human history we’ve looked at the stars and wondered if there’s life beyond our galaxy. As technology has rapidly advanced, it feels possible that even our more esoteric questions about aliens could be one day be answered. The real question is: are we ready for the implications of those answers?.

    While science fiction narratives often rely on the “government denies knowledge” trope, several groups around the world have invested time, effort, and resources into developing scientific protocols for assessing the probability of alien life. Of course, no nation in the world has formally adopted them…but they do exist.

    The Drake Equation, proposed by an astronomer for which it was named in 1961, essentially provides a template that mathematicians could use to determine the likelihood that life exists elsewhere in the universe. Drake chose seven variables to include, such as “the formation rate of stars suitable for developing intelligent life.” The problem is science currently has no firm data for any of those variables. Therefore, attempting to actually calculate a probability from the equation (which is: N = R* • fp • ne • fl • fi • fc • L) provides only a hypothetical estimate.

    IF ALIENS DO EXIST, ARE WE READY TO MEET THEM?

    Let’s say that technological advances give us the ability to fill in the variables in The Drake Equation. Scientists then not only figure out the probability of extraterrestrial life is high, but that an alien visitation is imminent. What would happen next?

    The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) League has an abundant list of protocols concerning contact with life on other planets, including something called The Rio Scale. The scale is concerned with three variables: the phenomenon itself, how it was discovered, and how far away it is, to provide an objective indicator of the events’ credence. In other words, the Rio Scale is a decent metric for sussing out alien hoaxes. This isn’t an insignificant application, either: as the video below points out, if the media reported that aliens had communicated with us before scientists had all the facts, something akin to mass panic would probably ensue.

    The Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies — otherwise known as simply The Outer Space Treaty — actually states that the Secretary-General of the United Nations be the one to formally communicate such a finding, having presumably received the information through proper channels.

    Of course, this is all still largely hypothetical. Much of what we think we know about aliens comes not from hard evidence, but our fictional renderings of them and their interactions with us. We can’t know for sure what to expect if, and when, aliens make contact, but our attempts to prepare give us fascinating insight into our own hopes and fears. When we look to the sky we may not get the answers we’ve been looking for about aliens, but we’re likely to find answers about ourselves we didn’t even know we were looking for.

    EVIDENCE: Extraterrestrial civilizations visited the Earth in the distant past. Ancient civilization – UFO and Extraterrestrial civilization.

    Extraterrestrial civilization visited the Earth in the distant past and there is evidence all around us. It isn’t a question anymore, whether or no ancient man was visited by intelligent extraterrestrial beings in the distant past.


    A great amount of evidence has been gathered that proves that in the distant past, human beings were visited by beings from another planet. These visitors were misinterpreted by our ancestor as “Gods,” because our ancestor did not understand technology as we do today.


    Almost all ancient civilizations that have been studied by researchers and archaeologists point to “myths” and texts of “divine” beings that came from the stars and got involved, in one way or another, with ancient humans on Earth. Ancient Aztecs, Mayas, Incas, and many other ancient civilization make reference to “otherworldly” beings that descended from the sky, considered as divine, since ancient man, did not have the knowledge to explain in another way, these mysterious visitations.


    Ancient texts from the Bible are perhaps the best evidence that point to the existence of “otherworldly” beings in the remote past of human history. The myths of creation, the mysterious light that guided the Israelites on the long journey through the desert, the description of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the union of children of the Gods with daughters of men, the power of the Ark of the Covenant and the trip to “heaven” of Elijah and Enoch are just some of the many biblical stories that involve divine beings who come from the skies, incredible technology of the past that was considered by ancient man as being “heavenly” or “divine”.

    DONALD KEYHOE, THE US MAJOR THAT WARNED US OF INTERPLANETARY WAR - UFO'S ARE REAL!

    This video shows us the moment Major Donald Keyhoe exposes the truth on the UFO subject and states that UFO's are real. He is a true patriot and was one of the pioneers in exposing the cover-up by government agencies.

    In 1956, Major Donald Keyhoe co-founded NICAP whose goal it was to stop the secrecy surrounding the UFO phenomenon. It became the largest and most prominent UFO research group in the US. Former CIA director Hillen Koetter and other military officers and prominent scientists like James McDonald were in ts board of directors.

    Major Keyhoe sought congressional hearings, and in 1958 he made efforts to use Senator John McCiellan's committee to start public congressional hearings regarding the UFO mystery. All his attempts were blocked by high-ranking Air Force officials.

    In 1958 Keyhoe was invited to join a live broadcast on CBS-TV. The Air Force officials tried to use this broadcast to manipulate the minds and hearts of the American public, which there was no truth in the UFO phenomenon. But they never anticipated to the fact that Keyhoe would use this opportunity to speak out on the UFO subject and publicly state that UFO's are real. Keyhoe tried his best to take the truth to the American public.

    Keyhoe releases some interesting details on the United States military and how they handle reports of UFO sightings. He sums up the different theories explaining UFOs, how the government is covering up certain sightings and how this could lead to interplanetary war.

    Major Keyhoe put his job on the line to speak out on the subject. This was the reason he was ousted out of NICAP in 1969.

    Stunned motorist captures mysterious 'flying disc' being transported by police convoy near secretive US air base

    UFO was spotted on the back of a lorry near near the top-secret US Airforce base Wright Patterson USAF where conspiracy theorists claim alien bodies have been hidden away

    BY 

    Video thumbnail, Mysterious object transported need secretive US air base

    A shocked witness stared in disbelief as they watched a UFO apparently being transported by a police convoy on the back of truck.

    The anonymous witness said the lorry was driving near top-secret US Airforce Wright Patterson USAF (WPUSAF) base, which is believed to be one of several military bases where the authorities store alien UFOs.

    The alleged sighting came to light after the man reported it to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).

    Footage shows several police cars driving past before a lorry comes into shot - carrying what looks like a "flying saucer" - in the Fort Leonard Wood area of Missouri on February 1 at 10.15pm local time.

    The location is around 240 miles from WPUSAF which is where conspiracy theorists claim crashed UFOs and even alien bodies, have been hidden away by the military.

    Writing to NUFORC, the man said: "I was driving north 15 miles north of Fort Leonard Wood on I-44 north last night at exactly 10.15pm and saw a line of police cars spaced out about a mile with no traffic coming southbound.

    "I noticed more police cars with lights keeping traffic held back in the distance about another mile and a semi with flatbed was in the centre.

    "As the semi (articulated truck) approached, I couldn't believe that the semi was carrying what appeared to be a saucer shaped object.

    "I passed within a hundred or so feet of the semi going in the opposite direction.

    "The semi was moving at a moderate speed and the area was somewhat illuminated and my 16-foot Penske truck was elevated so I had a clear view.

    "It was dull metallic grey, with thick short legs coming from the center bottom like fence posts, and a thick central body tapering to very thin edges.

    Mysterious object transported need secretive US air base
    Peter Davenport, NUFORC director, responded to the post, highlighting about other sightings of UFOs on the back of trucks 

    ”It encompassed the whole trailer and was hanging over the edges with no cockpit or windows or markings."

    Peter Davenport, NUFORC director, responded to the post, highlighting about other sightings of UFOs on the back of trucks.

    He said: "We have heard about that object before, and we believe that it is some kind of space vehicle, used by the US Air Force."

    The previous sighting allegedly happened on January 15, 2015, in the Lordsburg area of New Mexico when a "triangle-shaped UFO" was seen being driven in convoy.

    Le plan de la Nasa pour explorer Europe, la lune de Jupiter, à la recherche de vie extraterrestre

    L'agence spatiale américaine a demandé à une équipe de scientifiques d'imaginer un atterrisseur dont le but serait d'étudier la surface gelée de la lune de Jupiter.

    Gregory Rozieres Journaliste sciences et technologies, responsable de la rubrique C'est Demain

    ESPACE - Et si la prochaine mission de la Nasa visait à explorer Europe? Non pas le continent terrestre, mais la lune de Jupiter. L'agence spatiale américaine a dévoilé ce mercredi 8 février un rapport rédigé par une équipe de 21 scientifiques qui ont planché sur un possible envoi d'une sonde et d'un atterrisseur sur Europe.

    Pourquoi cet astre en particulier? Car la lune jupitérienne intéresse grandement les chercheurs. On la suspecte de cacher, sous une épaisse couche de glace, un gigantesque océan d'eau liquide, en contact avec de la roche. Celui-ci pourrait potentiellement abriter une vie extraterrestre.

    En effet, pour que celle-ci se développe, il faut trois éléments: de l'eau liquide, une source d'énergie et de la matière organique, carbonée. Ces trois éléments sont potentiellement présents dans le sous-sol d'Europe.

    Le rapport, qui n'engage en rien la Nasa pour le moment, évoque trois objectifs principaux: trouver des preuves de vie (microscopique, évidemment) sur Europe, analyser la surface pour savoir si celle-ci est habitable et enfin mieux comprendre la lune (dont on ne sait pas grand chose) pour de futures missions robotiques.

    NASA/JPL-CALTECH

    Rechercher la vie avec un robot, une première pour la Nasa depuis 40 ans

    La Nasa précise que l'atterrisseur pourrait embarquer un système permettant de tester des échantillons afin de vérifier si une vie extraterrestre existe sur Europe. Ce serait une première pour l'agence depuis le déploiement sur Mars de la sonde Viking, dans les années 70. Celle-ci n'avait pas trouvé de preuve de vie (à moins que nous ne soyons passés à côté?).

    Surtout que pour accéder à ces échantillons, la sonde n'aurait même pas besoin de creuser la glace pour atteindre l'océan. Comme le rappelle le rapport, la Nasa a découvert en septembre des gerbes d'eau sur Europe, propulsées par des sortes de geyser. Il suffirait donc d'analyser cette vapeur pour espérer y détecter de la vie.

    Pour se poser à la surface, l'atterrisseur devra être innovant, car Europe ne dispose pas d'une atmosphère permettant de freiner la descente, par exemple avec un parachute. Les chercheurs ont donc imaginé un procédé technique complexe, où l'atterrisseur sera notamment déposé via des filins par une sonde volante, qui ira ensuite s'écraser en lieu sûr.

    NASA/JPL-CALTECH

    Pour l'instant, tout cela reste un simple projet. La Nasa prévoit d'ailleurs en parallèle d'envoyer une sonde uniquement en orbite autour d'Europe d'ici le début des années 2020.

    Plusieurs réunions vont avoir lieu pour interroger la communauté scientifique sur la pertinence du rapport. Dans celui-ci, les auteurs précisent qu'en imaginant un lancement en 2024, l'atterrisseur pourrait toucher le sol européen en 2031.

    2017 is het jaar van een totale zonsverduistering, die in augustus ongetwijfeld veel toeristen naar de Verenigde Staten zal trekken.

    In Nederland en België kunnen we dit fenomeen niet zien, maar er zijn alternatieven. Zo kun je vanavond de sneeuwmaan, een maansverduistering én een komeet waarnemen.

    Komeet

    Als de omstandigheden goed zijn kun je vanavond een glimp opvangen van de komeet 45P/Honda.

    De komeet nadert de aarde dan het dichtst, tot een afstand van 12 miljoen kilometer, dus kosmisch gesproken zeer dicht bij de aarde.

    De komeet is onder meer te zien in de sterrenbeelden Adelaar en Hercules. Het object heeft nu een magnitude van 6,3.

    Als er geen wolken zijn zou je de komeet met het blote oog moeten kunnen zien, maar neem voor de zekerheid een verrekijker mee. Pas in 2022 komt komeet 45P weer terug.

    Lees hier meer over de passage van de komeet.

    Maansverduistering

    Vannacht vindt daarnaast een maansverduistering plaats. De maan beweegt door de bijschaduw van de aarde zonder dat er minder zonlicht op het maanoppervlak valt.

    De eclips, die in zijn geheel zichtbaar is vanuit Nederland en België, begint om 23.33 uur en eindigt om 03.56 uur.

    De verduistering is bijzonder omdat de maan zich volledig in de bijschaduw bevindt, maar de kernschaduw niet raakt. Dit komt minder dan eens in de 10 jaar voor.

    Tijdens het maximum is duidelijk te zien hoe de ene maanrand veel donkerder is dan de tegenoverliggende rand.

    Lees hier meer over de maansverduistering.

    Sneeuwmaan

    Het is bovendien volle maan. De maan staat vrijwel precies tegenover de zon aan de hemel, waardoor zij vrijwel de hele nacht zichtbaar is.

    De volle maan in februari wordt ook wel sneeuwmaan genoemd, omdat er in de maand februari historisch gezien de meeste sneeuw valt in de Verenigde Staten.

    Inheemse stammen spraken ook wel van de hongermaan omdat jagen in de maand februari vanwege de sneeuw erg lastig was.

    De sneeuwmaan komt om 17.44 uur op en gaat op zaterdagochtend om 08.30 uur weer onder.

    UFO in Antarctica: The Final Proof that Aliens Have Landed on Earth? | Conspiracy Theories.VIDEO.

    Mysterious object discovered in Antarctica, immediately provoked a stir among experts on UFOs.

    Russian “expert” Valetin Degterev published on social media what he found in Antarctica while using Google Earth. This is a shot of the black spot, which it claims that it was a UFO, who are stuck in ice after an accident three years ago.


    “In the endless ice desert is the most original UFO in the most classic form,” said the Russian.

    Seemingly ignoring many other rock formations and shadows in this area, Degterev said that “UFO” measuring 20 to 70 meters and is adamant that the object can not be explained by anything other naturally on Earth

    “I think this is a very large disc-shaped flying machine frozen in ice,” he said. According to him, there can be no image of any polar station or aircraft or ships lost in the area. “It seems that this is a man-made object from the distant universe,” he insisted.

    Nigel Watson, author of a manual on investigating UFO, told MailOnline that it is difficult to say exactly what the image shows, but this place has a “long tradition” when landing alien spacecraft. Experts in Antarctica, however, argue that the black dot is a common tear.

    Reports of an alien abduction and UFO sightings made to police

     Jon Robinson, Deputy News Editor

    POLICE received eight reports of UFOs and aliens by people who believe ‘the truth is out there’ in recent years, it has been revealed.

    According to data obtained through a Freedom of Information request, officers responded to two of the reports after a sighting of two ‘crafts’ over Pendle Hill in 2015 and another in Lytham St Annes the year before.

    The service said on both occasions no evidence of UFOs was found by officers.

    In March last year the police were contacted over a suspected alien abduction in Accrington and another report was received the next month over a UFO ‘landing’ in Marsden Park, Nelson.

    A report of a ‘beam of light from a UFO was sent to officers from a person in Burnley in 2015 with another sighting submitted the previous year in Buckshaw Village.

    Two UFOs were said to be seen in the sky over Fleetwood in 2015 and a reported red craft and another white one was said to have been spotted over Bottle last year.

    The latest set of information comes after three close encounters were made public for the first time in 2009 after 4,000 pages of declassified Ministry of Defence documents were released.

    A copper gold triangle moving at right angles caught the eye of a Colne resident on October 18, 1994, and the police were also alerted to a stationary bright flashing red light hovering above a garden in the town on February 23, 1996.

    In Burnley, authorities were informed of 250 sightings of an object in the sky which was travelling at high speed towards Hebden Bridge on 22 November, 1995. Andy Sierolawski, from Todmorden Observatory, said: “We get asked if we have ever seen anything all the time.

    “Around 40 per cent of the people who visit the centre ask us.

    “Saturn and Venus as well as aircraft can very easily be mistaken for something else.

    A police spokesman said: “With any call received into the police force control room the operator assesses each and identifies any risk/threat/harm and the operator provides the appropriate response to this, which may include deploying an officer.

    “Sometimes these calls are not what they may seem so a potential UFO call could be a suspicious light or suspicious movement that could mean any number of things and we would assess and deploy officers if required, or there could be a concern for the caller’s welfare.”

    De Hebreeuwse Universiteit van Jeruzalem heeft de ontdekking bekendgemaakt van een nieuwe grot waarin Dode Zeerollen werden gevonden, een "van de belangrijkste vondsten" met betrekking tot deze bekende geschriften sinds hun ontdekking een zestigtal jaar geleden.

    De teksten, die dateren van de 3de eeuw voor Christus tot de 1ste eeuw na Christus, zijn een geheel van bijna duizend perkamenten, voornamelijk in het Hebreeuws, maar ook in het Aramees en Grieks, waaronder talrijke boeken van het Oude Testament. Het zijn de oudste bekende manuscripten van de Hebreeuwse Bijbel.

    Tot dusver wisten de archeologen dat de geschriften die tussen 1947 en 1956 door een bedoeïenenherder ten noordoosten van de Dode Zee ontdekt werden, bij de archeologische site van Qumran, in elf grotten lagen.

    "Deze ontdekking van een twaalfde grot zou de informatie die we over de Dode Zeerollen hebben, kunnen omgooien", zei Oren Gutfeld van het archeologisch instituut van de universiteit, dat verantwoordelijk is voor het archeologisch onderzoek.

    De grot ten westen van Qumran, op de bezette Westelijke Jordaanoever, bevatte geen geschriften maar talrijke bewijzen van hun aanwezigheid, waaronder fragmenten van aardewerk waarin ze bewaard werden en leren banden die rondom de geschriften gebonden waren, preciseerde de archeoloog.
