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.

    United States: Circle-shaped UFO appears after thunderstrike

    circle-shaped-ufo

    Here’s one video analysis of a ring that appeared after a thunder strike. This happened somewhere in US recently.

    During a recent thunderstorm in the US a UFO appeared. It’s not clear whether the UFO got hit by the lightning strike or whether it was using the lightning for it’s energy. After the lightning strike the UFO becomes visible for a 30 seconds and illuminates the sky and the surrounding area. Then a second lightning strike is heard and the UFO dissappears. When the UFO disappears the area turns dark again.
    I made a short video analysis of the footage to explain what happened.
    Did the UFO open up a portal in order to travel to another dimension?

    Kuwait: The Same Two UFOs Appear In Five Videos Taken By Different People In Different Positions

    kuwait-ufo


    Five different UFO sighting videos made the rounds online after they showed the same UFO over the same city captured in various positions. What makes the videos interesting is the fact that they were taken by three different people in Kuwait. The videos show one round white orb and another UFO in lower altitude, which some enthusiasts believe it was 90% cloaked. It is not happening every day that multiple people record the same UFOs.

    One eyewitness says that he wants to share something he has seen with his very own eyes, which he has never seen before. He says that it looks like a UFO, which, according to him, gives out circular smoke before the UFO itself vanished. The witness admits he used the Viva Video app but insists that this is not edited at all. He says that he only used the app to get a slow motion of the video for the viewers to see the smoke. He assures the viewers that the video is not done with any camera tricks.

    Some UFO observers found the evidence that comes with this sighting overwhelming. They suspect thousands of people witnessed the same thing and expect more UFO videos showing this particular sighting to come over the next few weeks. They speculate that aliens like to visit Kuwait because this is an ancient nation with ancient traditions still in place.

    NASA SENDING SPACESHIP TO ROOT OUT SPACE ALIENS

    'Goal to search for evidence of life' on Jupiter moon Europa

    Europa

    Europa

    NASA thinks aliens might be hiding on the frozen moon of Jupiter, called Europa, and as such, is sending out a search spaceship to root them out, the aeronautics agency reported.

    Just this week, NASA announced three goals for its upcoming exploration mission on Europa. What were they?

    “The primary goal is to search for evidence of life on Europa,” NASA wrote, News.com.au reported.

    In layman’s terms, that’s tantamount to saying, ‘let’s go look for aliens.’

    NASA’s other two goals with its Europa mission, meanwhile, are less eye-widening in nature.

    “The other goals are to assess the habitability of Europa by directly analyzing material from the surface, and to characterize the surface and subsurface to support future robotic exploration of Europa and its ocean,” News.com.au reported.

    The announced missions come on the heels of NASA’s mulled spacecraft exploration of the ocean – once again, to root out possible alien life forms.

    But before starting that operation, NASA said it wants first to go to Europa. Tantamount to its mission is to find proof positive an ocean actually lurks beneath the surface layers of that moon.

    “Scientists agree that the evidence is quite strong that Europa, which is slightly smaller than Earth’s moon, has a global saltwater ocean beneath its icy crust,” NASA said. “This ocean has at least twice as much water as Earth’s oceans.”

    And that means the possibility for alien life is significant.

    “While recent discoveries have shown that many bodies in the solar system either have subsurface oceans now, or may have in the past, Europa is one of only two places where the ocean is understood to be in contact with a rocky sea floor.”

    So what?

    As NASA noted: “This rare circumstance makes Europa one of the highest priority targets in the search for present-day life beyond Earth.”

    The other moon in the solar system that likely has a rocky sea floor is Saturn’s Enceladus.

    NBC News on Tuesday noted NASA’s ongoing pursuit of alien life forms with a short video chronicling the various electronic messages the agency has placed onto Voyager’s Golden Records. The Golden Records were created in 1977 as a means of NASA illustrating and “explaining Earth” via “a series of vinyls” to any alien life forms who happened upon them, the news outlet reported.

    VIDEOSpaceX launch scrubbed


    “The records include sounds of wind, rain, laughter, heartbeats and animal noises,” NBC News reported. “It also offers a music collection, from Beethoven to Chuck Berry. The images feature equations, diagrams and snapshots of nature and human life. It also contains greetings from 55 languages to say hello to the universe.”

    UFOs in the Middle East? Mass sightings send social media into frenzy

    SEVERAL videos of an alleged mass sighting of UFOs over Kuwait and Iran have sparked a social media frenzy.


    Footage was filmed in the Middle East on Sunday of two mysterious objects in the sky, before being uploaded to social media.

    It sparked intense online debate about whether they could be alien in origin. 

    Scott C Waring, editor of ufosightingsdaily.com, blogged: "Three different people in Kuwait just uploaded five different UFO videos of the same UFO, but from different positions within the city. 

    "All the videos do show two UFOs. One round white orb and another lower UFO that is 90 percent cloaked. We are very lucky to have so many people record the UFOs.

    "The evidence that comes with this sighting is overwhelming. Its more than most sightings ever get. 

    Kuwait-UFO

    YouTube

    A series of UFO sightings over Iran and Kuwait led to specuklation over aliens.

    "It must have been seen by thousands of people and I expect more UFO videos will come in over the next few weeks from today."

    Mr Waring is convinced it was an alien space craft.

    He added: "Kuwait is an ancient country with ancient traditions still in place. 

    "There is probably more reason for aliens to want to visit there for its history than to visit America for its new innovations."

    But, other UFO specialists had more convincing explanations.

    All the videos do show two UFOs. One round white orb and another lower UFO that is 90 percent cloaked. We are very lucky to have so many people record the UFOs.

    Scott C Waring

    Scott Brando runs hoax-busting website ufoofinterest.org.

    He forensically examines footage before reaching conclusions over what it could be.

    He initially speculated that it may be a rocket launch, after learning of reports of Iranian rocket missile tests carried out on Monday.

    However, he concluded that it was actually the launch on Sunday from the Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral, Florida, by Space X of its Falcon 9 rocket, which he said would have passed over the Middle East at the time of the sightings.

    Athena: ESA's Big X-ray Telescope

    Athena, or Advanced Telescope for High-ENergy Astrophysics, is a European Space Agency (ESA) large-class mission expected to launch in 2028. 

    The spacecraft is an X-ray observatory expected to answer questions about the hot and energetic universe. The two main questions include "How does ordinary matter assemble into the large-scale structures that we see today" (such as galaxy groups and clusters) and "How do black holes grow and influence the environment around them." A black hole's environment is best seen in X-rays, and hot gases, which are visible in X-rays, can give clues about galactic structure formation and evolution.

    Science objectives of Athena include investigating:

    • how galaxy groups and clusters form and evolve;
    • how hot "baryons," or subatomic particles, evolve;
    • missing baryons in the intergalactic medium, or plasma between galaxies;
    • how black holes and supermassive black holes grow over time;
    • how black holes influence "active" galaxies (those galaxies that produce an extraordinary amount of energy);
    • the effects of active galactic nuclei on galactic clusters and star formation.

    The launch vehicle hasn't been determined yet, but it's possible that Athena will launch on an Ariane 5. After launch, the spacecraft will then be placed in a stable gravitational area in space known as a Lagrange point. In this case, Athena will use L2, which is on the "dark" side of the Earth (meaning that it is exactly opposite of the sun.) L2 has also been used for missions such as WMAP (the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe) and Planck, and will be the location of the future NASA James Webb Space Telescope after launch in 2018.

    Athena will perform about 300 pointed observations of celestial objects each year, ESA stated. Each observation will last an average of 105 seconds. While there will be a planned observation campaign, there will be flexibility to move Athena to a target if a transient event in the sky is noticed, such as a gamma-ray burst. Planning allows this to happen twice per month, ESA said.

    Athena is expected to last five years, although consumables (such as fuel) have been rated for 10 years in the case of a mission extension. 

    Athena is named after an Ancient Greek goddess who favored Odysseus, the hero of the Odyssey. The telescope project was born out of the reformulation of several older missions. At first, ESA and NASA were each pursuing different telescope projects, called XEUS and Constellation-X respectively. This changed in 2008 after officials from NASA, ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) agreed on an International X-Ray Observatory (IXO) to merge the Constellation-X and XEUS projects.

    The United States periodically conducts studies among space scientists to determine the priorities for the coming decade, which is called the decadal survey. ESA has its own priority list that draws from the recommendations of the Cosmic Vision Programme 2015-2025. The 2010 U.S. decadal survey ranked IXO fourth among large-scale missions. In 2011, ESA issued a statement saying the agency would go alone for large-scale missions. It cited the lack of support in the decadal survey for three joint European missions, and added that it had concerns that NASA funding would not let the missions launch in a timely fashion.

    ESA subsequently moved forward with a modified version of IXO under Cosmic Vision, known as Athena. Athena was among the candidates proposed for the first large-class mission launch competition in 2012, but officials ultimately chose JUICE (the JUpiter ICy moons Explorer). Athena was instead chosen in 2014 for the second large-class mission opportunity, for a launch in 2028.

    "The mission has now entered the study phase; once the mission design and costing have been completed, it will eventually be proposed for 'adoption' around 2019, before the start of the construction phase," ESA wrote in a summary page about the mission.

    While Athena's design is still being determined, the telescope will likely have an X-ray telescope with a focal length (distance between the center of its lens, and the focus of the telescope) of about 12 meters, or 39 feet. It will also include two instruments: an X-ray Integral Field Unit for high-spectral resolution imaging, and a Wide Field Imager that will get more moderate resolution spectroscopy over a wide field of view.

    "The telescope will use silicon pore optics (SPO), which will provide a unique combination of a large collecting area and good angular resolution across a large field of view while meeting a stringent mass budget," ESA stated on another page. Arrays of these pores will be placed into modules using commercially available silicon wafers, the agency added. These wafers will be cut, arranged and stacked in a radial pattern to focus the light.

    Supporting the X-ray optics will be a mirror assembly module that will include a sun protector, a straylight baffle and a thermal baffle so that the telescope can perform its sensitive observations with a minimum of interference

    With dozens of X-ray telescopes launched into space, it is difficult to summarize all of the missions quickly. The first of these launched in the 1970s, and observations from X-ray telescopes continue today. Some of the larger and more recent missions are summarized below.

    The Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched on the STS-93 shuttle mission in July 1999, and is still operating. Chandra is considered one of NASA's "Great Observatories," referring to a program in the 1980s and 1990s that birthed the large-class observatories of the Hubble Space Telescope, Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory and Spitzer Space Telescope. Chandra has made numerous discoveries, including imaging a halo of hot gas around the Milky Way, showing that nearly all stars on the main sequence of evolution emit X-rays, and observing X-ray emission from Sagittarius A* (the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's center).

    XMM-Newton (X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission) is an ESA mission launched in December 1999 aboard an Ariane 5 rocket. XMM-Newton is a part of ESA's Horizon 2000 program, a previous long-term plan the agency followed for choosing missions. Its mission has been extended several times, and the observatory remains in good health. Its discoveries include measuring the spin rate of a supermassive black hole (along with another observatory called NuSTAR) and making observations of massive galaxy clusters, which help confirmed the presence of dark energy.

    The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission has instruments on board that can observe these transient phenomena using gamma-ray, X-ray, ultraviolet and optical wavelengths. It flew into orbit in 2004 aboard a Delta II rocket, and remains in operation. It has seen black holes, supernovas (star explosions), active galactic nuclei, comets and many other things. Among its discoveries was finding a new kind of gamma-ray burst that is not associated with a supernova, which was a surprise to astronomers.

    ESA's INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL), which launched in 2002 and is still operational, has a similar mission to Swift. In conjunction with NASA and the Russian Space Agency, INTEGRAL examines gamma-ray bursts. Besides gamma-ray bursts, it has performed observations of X-ray binaries as well as X-ray sources outside of the galaxy. This includes the cosmic X-ray background, the remnant of radiation left over from when the Milky Way was born.

    Abduction on North Canol Road, Northern Canada
    Depiction>
<div align=Kevin's Account

    written, Feb 2001

    posted March 21, 2004)

    In August or September 1987 (later determined to be Wednesday September 2, 1987), I left Ross River (where I lived) and headed up the North Canol Road by myself on my motor bike for moose (hunting).

    I was planning on spending 3 days in the area between Sheldon Lake and Macpass. A guy I worked with and a friend of his were to leave a day later and I was to meet them for some fishing. We were all to stay at a trailer at Dewhurst Creek.

    I left Ross River early in the morning and the temperature started to drop. Then it started to rain very hard and very cold. When I got to Gravel Creek, I stopped at Art John's Cabin and put on extra clothes while standing under the edge of his roof. I knew the rain would not stop, so I got back on my bike and headed off. I arrived at the trailer ½ hour before dark, very cold and very tired. I lit up a fire, cooked supper and went straight to bed looking forward to the morning hunt. Over night the rain had stopped.

    At daybreak (September 3, 1987) I put my gear and my gun on my bike and headed towards Macpass. A couple of miles down the road, I was putting along at about 10 mph looking into the trees and watching the hillsides. I decided to stop for a restroom break.

    I stopped where I could see some mountainsides and some valleys. I parked on the right side of the road. The sun was shining; the air was perfectly still and a bit cool. I was standing just in front of my bike watching the mountains to the south, when I noticed to the left out of the corner of my eye, what I first thought was an airplane. It was 400 to 500 yards away and about the size of a DC-3 plane or a full-size school bus. It was travelling north to south, at about 40 yards above ground and moving maybe 30 km/h. Right away I thought "boy is he low". I blinked my eyes because I couldn't make out any tail fin or wings.

    It had what looked like portholes all along the side of it. It was cigar shaped with a grey strip down the middle and a dark green on top and bottom.

    I thought to myself, "something's wrong with this picture", then I realised there was no sound! If it was an airplane, the roar would have filled the valley.

    As I watched, it seemed to partially dematerialize and then return to solid form, it did this as it was moving, a couple of times. Then it dawned on me, oh, oh, I don't think I should be seeing this; it's a UFO and probably doesn't want to be seen!

    I crouched down on the road, hiding behind the roadside grass.

    I then watched it go behind a cone-shaped hill and not come out. I stood up looking for it and feeling very excited and happy about what I saw and thinking they didn't even know they were being watched.

    I was standing beside my bike when I heard a loud metallic clunk behind me around the corner.

    Right away I thought, somebody must be here and I've got to tell them what I saw. The noise I heard sounded like a heavy trunk lid on a car slamming shut.

    I quickly walked along the edge of the road to the corner to see who was there.

    I came face to face (about 20 yards) with 2 grey creatures in blue jump suits, about 5 ft. tall with big insect looking heads, pointy faces, big eyes, thin arms, body and legs. I immediately thought "they're not little green men*, they're grasshopper people".

    At that same instant, the one on the left raised his left hand to his waist, which held some type of flashlight device and I saw a bright flash of light come from it.

    I instantly felt paralyzed and was convinced time had stopped, everything was black, no sound. I tried to yell "No!" but all that came out was a distorted grunt.

    Next thing I knew I was standing on the side of the road scared, shaking and confused.

    Within seconds I remembered all of this that had just taken place and I thought, "I'm getting out of here before they get me again." I turned around to get my bike and for some reason it was not there, then I noticed it was on the other side of the road. I said to myself, "what the hell is this? I didn't put it there". Still panicking I rushed over and got on it and realized the keys were gone.

    I always left the keys in it, that way I could not lose them while sneaking around in the bush. I immediately started looking down the road and suddenly saw them in my hand. I started my bike and raced back to the trailer.

    I was feeling scared and amazed at the same time and then noticed that all the shadows of the trees were pointing in a different direction than that of the morning sun. About 15 minutes later I was at the trailer. Half an hour later it was dark. I thought "no way, I only left here an hour ago, what's going on?"

    I was really confused then, I said to myself, "I'm not telling anybody about this, I'll just forget the whole thing".

    I put on a pot of coffee and could then hear a soft humming sound above the trailer. I could also feel a soft vibration in everything (trailer, air, etc.). After about 10 minutes it had all stopped. I had a very strong feeling that they were outside. I did not look out the windows.

    Later that night I still couldn't sleep and while having my coffee I began to have flashbacks of the past events. I remember being in a dream-like state watching scenery flash by underneath as if I was flying. I watched mountains and rivers and forests go by at a very high rate of speed.

    I then became aware of other sounds and seemed to wake up. I opened my eyes and could see nothing but black, very deep and inky black. As I was looking at this, the blackness pulled back, revealing a face, I had been looking into the eyes of a grey type creature. I could hear in my mind a voice saying "there is nothing to worry about". I could hear him talking in my mind.

    There were 3 or 4 of these types walking around, but only one talked to me. The two I saw earlier on the road, I never saw again. (Note: the aliens that he saw at this point were of the typical "grey type" while the ones at the edge of the road were more insectoid.)

    I then sat up and had an idea of what might be going on and I asked, "Are you going to do experiments on me?" and the one said, "They've already been done." I felt really good then because, except for a strange sensation in my hands everything felt normal. I kept rubbing my hands together but did not look at them, as there was a totally strange environment to look at instead. I experienced no discomfort.

    The being nearest me asked if I would like to see my home planet and I said sure. I then walked over to the window, where there was a machine that looked like a big copy machine. He asked me not to touch it, I replied "Don't worry, I'm not touching anything in here".

    He then said, that bright white star is your home. I didn't know anything about astronomy at the time, but I always thought earth was blue, so right away I thought he's lying. He also explained to me about space and stars etc. but I can't remember any of it now.

    I was also asked if I would like to go on a trip. I replied "Not yet", I felt very honoured to be asked and I did want to go, but felt that the time was not right.

    Then I was told I would have to forget all of this. I was disappointed at hearing this. The first part of the experience was very scary, but once I was with them, I found them to be friendly, helpful and their looks didn't bother me. They actually seemed like old friends.

    They gave me a clear glass, ¾ full with a yellow liquid and said to drink it up, it would make me forget everything. I told them, I did not want to forget an experience like this. It should be remembered! I was told it was for my own good that I forget. So I took 3 little sips and put the glass down.

    Next thing I know, I'm on the road by my bike, scared to death and wanting to get out of there.

    The next day I met up with the other two guys and never said anything to them.

    Alleged Alien Abductee Details Childhood Encounters at the International UFO Congress: We’d Tell Our Parents, ‘The Bald Men Are Coming’

    Audrey Starborn Hewins

    Congress met in Fountain Hills, Arizona, last week, taking over the posh We-Ko-Pa Resort with their usual displays of space alien paraphernalia, panels about extraterrestrial abductions and occasional close encounters with tourists who dared to mix it up with cowboy boots, flying saucer earrings and “I Don’t Believe in Humans” T-shirts.

    At the International UFO Congress — the world’s largest convention dedicated to unidentified flying objects — it doesn’t matter what political party you’re from, or, for that matter, what species.

    Anyone is welcome at the week-long event, even skeptics, providing that they leave their snarky comments and tin foil hats at home.

    “While the Roswell UFO Festival may be better known to the general public, the UFO Congress occupies a very special place in the hearts of UFO researchers and enthusiasts,” says Noe Torres, author of The Real Cowboys and Aliens: UFO Encounters of the Old West, who was one of this year’s convention speakers.

    “There are no alien parades, alien dog costume contests or other gimmicks,” Torres, of Edinburg, Texas, tells PEOPLE. “It’s about exploring the history of UFO research and examining some of the most outstanding cases of the past and present.

    This month marks the 26th year that hundreds of UFO enthusiasts worldwide descended upon the pretty desert town of Fountain Hills, with a population of 23,235, to celebrate starry skies and strange lights, spaceships, crop circles and alien life forms of all kinds at the conference sponsored by the paranormal research organization, Open Minds.

    News reporters were not allowed to attend sessions featuring “abductees,” but people who claim to have been visited or whisked away by small creatures with large dark eyes were not in short supply.

    Audrey Starborn Hewins, 43, came to the conference to offer support therapy to alien “experiencers” after claiming several close encounters of her own since age 5.

    Hewins, of Oxford, Maine, says that she and her identical twin, Debbie, were visited frequently by grey aliens as girls growing up in Athens, Ohio.

    “We’d tell our parents, ‘We don’t want to go to bed — the bald men are coming,'” she tells PEOPLE. “They started doing all kinds of experiments on us when we were 12.”

    In later years, Hewins says she was saved from drowning in the ocean by an alien being.

    “It was then that I decided to dedicate my life to helping others who have also had encounters,” she says. “I won’t want them to feel alone. It’s hard for people to come forward because they’re afraid that everyone will think they’re crazy. Only another experiencer can fully understand.”

    Although Hewins has spent a lifetime dealing with skeptics, she found a believer in Robert Davis, a neuroscientist from North Port, Florida, who delivered a keynote address about a research project he worked on involving more than 2,300 people who claim they’ve had alien encounters.

    “Despite initial feelings of confusion and anxiety, many UFO ‘contact experiencers’ manage to reach a place of integration and healing,” Davis tells PEOPLE, “but for some, it can be a difficult, long-term struggle. They often find that speaking of their experience can be traumatic to their psychological well-being and have devastating consequences. For many, it’s frightening to accept that this experience is valid.”

    Abductees’ needs are not properly addressed by the psychological community, says Davis, even though their experiences are “shared by many thousands, if not millions, worldwide.”

    “It’s unreasonable to think that they all would be lying or reporting dreams and fantasies,” he tells PEOPLE. “These events are consistently reported and should be taken seriously by everyone, in spite of their uniqueness.”

    Ken Johnston knows the feeling of not being taken seriously, but that’s never stopped him from speaking out about what he calls a government conspiracy to cover up evidence of an alien base on the moon.

    Ken Johnston

    The retired aerospace engineer and astronaut trainer says one of his duties was to take care of photos from five lunar missions and provide them to scientists from around the world who were studying moon samples.

    After the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, Johnston was told to destroy everything in his files, he tells PEOPLE. But he instead kept a set of the photos for himself and released them to the public in 2015, before donating his collection to the Roswell International UFO Research Center and Museum. One of the photos, he says, shows what looks like a base on the moon, with visible lights and structures.

    “The United States, Canada and the U.K. have attempted to debunk any person who tries to provide information that might prove ETs exist and that they may have just messed with our DNA to make us who we are,” says Johnston, who now lives in Belen, New Mexico, and gave a presentation at the International UFO Congress about his findings.

    “But now that the whole world has access to my personal archive, more anomalies are being discovered by people from all over the world, including Mexico, Europe and Africa,” he says. “Researchers worldwide now use my archives to help discover evidence of extraterrestrial life, past and present, on the moon.”

    Closer to home in Arizona, thousands of people will soon be marking the 20th anniversary of the state’s most famous UFO sighting — the “Phoenix Lights” incident of March 13, 1997, when police phone lines were clogged with calls from residents reporting a triangular formation of lights in the night sky.

    Dozens of those witnesses were at the International UFO Congress, including several who took to the stage to share what they saw that night.

    Phoenix physician Lynne Kitei, 69, counts herself among more than 10,000 people who reported seeing bright orange lights in the shape of a boomerang, floating silently over the city 20 years ago.

    “It was such a wondrous sight,” she tells PEOPLE, “that it sent me on a journey to try and find a logical source of meaning behind what I’d seen. Twenty years later, though, I’ve yet to find it.”

    Kitei wrote a book about her experience, The Phoenix Lights, and is now a familiar face every year at the International UFO Congress.

    “What I saw that night is the most documented mass UFO sighting in modern history,” she says. “You can choose to believe or you can choose not to believe. Ever since that night, I’ve been a believer. We are not alone.”

    Nasa's 'holy grail': Entire new solar system that could support alien life discovered

    It is ‘amazing’ how similar the entire solar system is to Earth

    Andrew Griffin 

    Scientists have found a new solar system filled with planets that look like Earth and could support lifeNasa has announced.

    At least three of the seven planets represent the “holy grail for planet-hunting astronomers”, because they sit within the “temperate zone” and are the right temperature to allow alien life to flourish, the researchers have said. And they are capable of having oceans, again suggesting that life could flourish on them.

    No other star system has ever been found to contain so many Earth-sized and rocky planets, of the kind thought to be necessary to contain aliens.

    The researchers might soon be able to find evidence of life on the planets, they have said. British astronomer Dr Chris Copperwheat, from Liverpool John Moores University, who was part of the international team, said: “The discovery of multiple rocky planets with surface temperatures which allow for liquid water make this amazing system an exciting future target in the search for life."

    Any evidence of life is likely to be “strong, very strong or conclusive”, the scientists said. It will be done by looking for what molecules are in the atmosphere – if they were to find things like oxygen, and in the right amounts, then it would probably indicate that there was biological activity.

    Co-researcher Dr Amaury Triaud, of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge, said: “We hope we will know if there's life there within the next decade.”

    Even if life isn’t ever found near TRAPPIST-1, it might eventually develop there. The star is relatively young – even when our own Sun has run out of fuel and our solar system is destroyed, the newly-discovered one will still be in its early infancy.

    TRAPPIST-1 “burns hydrogen so slowly that it will live for another 10 trillion years – more than 700 times longer than the Universe has existed so far, which is arguably enough time for life to evolve”, wrote Ignas AG Snellen from the Leiden Observatory, in an accompanying article about the discovery.

    All of the planets were found using a method called “transit photometry”. That works by watching out for when a planet passes, or transits, in front of its host star – blocking out a small amount of light, allowing us to see the planet and learn about its size.

    Scientists first found the star TRAPPIST-1 in 2010, after monitoring the smallest stars close to the Sun. Since then, they have been watching out for those transits – and after seeing 34 of them clearly, they proposed that they can be attributed to the seven new planets.

    They then worked to understand the size and composition of each of the worlds. That work is still continuing, but the researchers believe that the planets have large oceans, are temperate and other conditions that could make way for alien life.

    The Seven Wonders of Trappist-1

    Dr Michael Gillon, from the STAR Institute at the University of Liege in Belgium, said: “This is an amazing planetary system – not only because we have found so many planets, but because they are all surprisingly similar in size to the Earth.”

    If a person were on one of the planets, everything would look a lot darker than usual, the scientists said. The amount of light heading to your eye would be about 200 times less than you get from the sun, and would be comparable to what you can see at sunset.

    Despite that relative darkness, everything would still feel warm, the researchers said. That’s because roughly the same amount of energy would be coming from the star as warms our Earth – but it does so infrared.

    Because the star is so dim in relative terms, all of the planets are warmed enough to sit in the temperate zone. That’s despite the fact that they are all so close to it – each of them sitting nearer to the star than Mercury, the planet in our solar system that orbits closest to the Sun.

    “The spectacle would be beautiful,” said Amaury Triaud, one of the scientists involved in the research. “Every now and then you’d see another planet, about as big as another moon in the sky.”

    The sun would also look about 10 times bigger than our own does from Earth, Dr Triaud said, despite the fact that it is in fact only 8 per cent as big. And it would be a sort of salmon pink, said Dr Triaud, who noted that the scientists initially thought it would be a deep reddish crimson but most of that red light would be infrared and so invisible.

    It’s unlikely that any possible life that is on the planet would actually see this way, the scientists noted, since they would probably have evolved entirely different eyes – or perhaps none at all.

    The researchers hope that they can do more work to watch the planets and learn more about their character. They want to look in particular at the seventh, outermost planet because at the moment they are not sure how it interacts with the inner ones.

    Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope is already being used to search for atmospheres around the planets. Future telescopes, including the the European Extremely Large Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope, may be powerful enough to detect markers of life such as oxygen in the atmospheres of exoplanets.

    The first exoplanet was found in 1992. Since then, astronomers have detected more than 3,500 of the worlds, distributed across 2,675 star systems.

    About a fifth of the sun-like stars are thought to have Earth-sized planets close enough to them to support life.

    Further details on the 7 newly discovered planets

    In all, there might be 40 billion potentially habitable words sitting just in our galaxy, the Milky Way, astronomers estimate.

    Scientists have long thought that Earth-sized planets were abundant, but the new research shows just how many of them there might be. Many of those planets might never be seen, because they don’t pass in front of their host star and so aren’t visible.

    That might mean that the new system is actually not all that out of the ordinary. Scientists expect that for each planet we find, there are as many as 100 we can’t see – and so the scientists might not actually have been lucky, but rather seen something that wasn’t that unusual.

    UFO Recorded In This Weeks The Walking Dead TV Show, S07E10, Feb 2017, UFO Sighting News.


    Date of sighting: February 21, 2017
    Location of sighting: Walking Dead S07E10

    Here is the last place you would expect to find a UFO...on The Walking Dead set from this weeks episode. The UFO is at 28:27 minutes into the show. It was found byLampicka PSN of Youtube and shows a dark object that moves from the right to the left of the screen. The UFO is a dark disk and showed up on purpose. UFOs have have mind control, especially good for making you temporarily forget what you saw, and even make you remember things. Its even possible this UFO showed up to get caught on the scene on purpose so that it could use its mind control methods on the most popular TV show in America...which may reach a lot of viewers out there. 


    It was Elon Musk that stated last week, "if there are super intelligent aliens out there, they probably already observing us. That would seem quite likely and we are just not smart enough to realise it."


    In other words, aliens are everywhere, but we have to put the effort into uncovering the evidence before us. Scott C. Waring

    Mysterious UFO 'the size of Jupiter crashes into sun' captured in bizarre images from Solar Observatory spacecraft

    Conspiracy theorists believe the images - of huge transparent group of rings - could prove that giant extra-terrestrial spaceships exist in our solar system

    BY 

    Conspiracy theorists believe a UFO the size of Jupiter has crashed into the sun.

    Bizarre images captured by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, which is jointly run by Nasa and the European Space Agency, appear to show and object hovering close to the surface.

    Russian website Pravadu.ru describes the UFO as being made up of a transparent group of rings.

    But while many believe the ship collided 'by accident', other alien hunters believe the object is actually an extra-terrestrial spaceship using the sun to refuel.

    The bizarre object allegedly crashed into the sun
     

    The object is said to be approximately the size of Jupiter, according to the video uploaded by Paranormal Crucible .

    When the huge object crashed into the sun, a bright flash of light was generated, although scientists have not offered any explanation for this phenomenon.

    At the end of the last year, Nasa images circulated online which conspiracy theorists believed showed alien spacecrafts gathering close to the surface of the sun, and are sucking solar power away.

    The pictures seem to show a white spot which is joined towards the sun's surface with a 'connected line'.

    One YouTuber StreetCap1 asked the question last week: "Is this a massive UFO feeding off sun energy?" as he uploaded the video footage.

    UFO blogger Scott C Waring, who runs the website UFO Sightings Daily added his thoughts on the images too.

    He said: "This is definitely a UFO shot out of the sun.

    "It may have been using the sun's energy to fuel itself or to recharge in some way, but it's leaving at high speeds."

    He also pointed out that the UFO is a somewhat glowing white, but the sun's plasma is yellow.

    He added: "This will imply that the craft is made from a different material that is resistant from the sun's surface."

    Couple 'ran home and locked doors' after spotting a UFO in the skies above a popular Cornish beach

    By HannahCL

    Could UFO spotted over Portreath Beach be proof of aliens in Cornwall?

    Could UFO spotted over Portreath Beach be proof of aliens in Cornwall?

    It is the second reported UFO sighting in just a few weeks, as two women claim to have been left 'shocked' and 'in awe' of a huge UFO they saw in Penzance.

    Speaking to UK UFOs about the sighting in Portreath, a woman who gave only her last name, Miss Couzens, said that she was walking along the beach with her partner when events started to take an eerie turn.

    Miss Couzens said that she and her partner were watching the ocean, but soon noticed that they could not hear it.

    She said that she was walking along the beach with her partner, as it was peaceful.

    She continued: "We sat down on the bench by the cafe; as soon we looked at the ocean, we noticed everything went silent - it was an eerie feeling, we felt like we were in a different time zone."

    The couple reportedly looked up and realised that hovering over their heads was a huge UFO.

    Miss Couzens said: "We looked up and saw this black-shaped boomerang object (that) looked so big that we were sat frozen just staring at this thing. We both were so mesmerised by this. All of a sudden we heard a humming sound and we looked at each other and then all of sudden it disappeared."

    According to UK UFOs the sighting took place at Portreath Beach on Monday, February 20.

    The sighting adds to a theory that Cornwall could be a UFO triangle of paranormal activity.

    After seeing the strange UFO the startled couple left the beach, heading home to lock their doors and contemplate what it was that they saw in the skies above Portreath.

    "Me and my partner ran from the beach, ran home and locked our doors," added Miss Couzens.

    "Whatever it was it was so big it covered the stars."

    According to David Gillham, founder of Cornwall UFO Research group, no sightings were reported to them, however he is currently trying to get more information on a sighting in Penzance that left two women 'haunted' and 'in awe' of a strange phenomenon spotted in the skies.

    David said: "We haven't had anything reported to us as yet in the Portreath area.

    "The last sighting we had in Cornwall was in Penzance, but it was a few weeks ago now."

    David is now appealing to members of the public who may be able to give him more information on the reported sighting over Penzance that left two women fearing there 'would be a plane crash'.

    Two women driving in their car claimed to have seen unusual red, green and white lights forming a 'squashed triangle' in the skies on Wednesday, January 18.

    The women said that other unusual paranormal events had occurred earlier in the evening.

    One of the two women, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "Previously that evening the radio in my car was on a local station. It kept 'forgetting' the station and then skipped to another station. It did this a few times from about 5pm. On our way up the hill, my friend shouted that something was going to crash."

    The woman turned to look out of the window and claimed that she and her friend saw a large flying object that they could not identify.

    The woman added: "Seeing her look of surprise at something to the right of us, I instinctively turned to look. I immediately brought the car to an abrupt stop in the middle of road and together in a moment of silence, we braced ourselves for what we thought would be a plane crash very near to us.

    "There was no sound, but our rational minds had told us we had seen an airliner about to plough into the ground.

    "What we had seen were three lights. All different colours, red, green and white and forming a 'squashed triangle' shape. There was no substance or 'walls' to the shape, but the balls of light were moving at the same high speed, in the same direction which is what gave us the impression it was an object.

    "This looked to be just above three buildings on our right, but slightly further away. It was easily the length of the three bungalows.

    The photograph above was taken at the scene by the women, who drew in the lights to show the size and shape of the object they saw.

    The two women then got out of their car to see if they could still see the lights.

    "We waited until it had gone which was very quick and drove to the top of the hill where we got out of the car. We watched an odd light for between five and 10 minutes.

    "This light was much smaller and singular and we thought this may have been a helicopter. However its movements were irregular and rapid and still, there was no noise.

    "We have speculated and attempted to rationalise what we saw that evening, but the intense and immediate fear of something so large crashing stays with me. It has been suggested that the three lights may have been a helicopter. It was too big and too quiet. It was silent and fast.

    "While I am open to exploring the theory of unexplained phenomena, I am a rational person and I find it difficult that I am not able to identify what we saw that evening with any kind of certainty.

    "While it has haunted me immensely, I am still in awe at what I saw and grateful to have experienced this while with my friend. After I had dropped my friend home that evening, I left with silence and shock.

    "My radio in the car no longer skipped or searched and it hasn't since."

    NASA Has Ideas for How to Keep Astronauts Breathing in Deep Space

    If mankind ever wants to explore deep space, we’re going to need to make sure we can breathe. Right now, NASA’s technology recycles about half of the carbon dioxide that astronauts exhale and turn it into oxygen, but that’s just not good enough for a long-duration mission. That’s why the agency is investing in new technology that will help space explorers breathe easy — and they’re got two pretty promising ideas.

    The International Space Station recovers about 50 percent of the oxygen its inhabitants breathe, but NASA’s Next Generation Life Support Spacecraft Oxygen Recovery project element is gunning to devise a new system that recovers at least 75 percent of the oxygen. A system that effective would drastically reduce the amount of oxygen resupply that future missions would require. That’s especially important for long-duration deep space missions, since resupplying oxygen is a logistical nightmare that far away, to say the least.

    NASA plans on investing up to $2 million in the next two years towards this goal. The two proposals it’s selected to pursue are “Phase II Methane Pyrolysis System for High-Yield Soot-Free Recovery of Oxygen from Carbon Dioxide,” which was cooked up by Honeywell Aerospace in Phoenix, and “Continuous Bosch Reactor,” from the UMPQUA Research Co. in Myrtle Creek, Oregon. NASA didn’t go into much further detail in its news release.

    “The development of advanced life support technologies will allow NASA to establish improved capabilities for future deep space, long-duration, human exploration missions,” said Steve Jurczyk, associate administrator of NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate.

    All good, but seems like it’s going to be a while before this technology is perfected and implemented. In other words, astronauts: don’t hold your breath.

    NASA Scientists Have a New Way to Define Planets

    NASA
    IN BRIEF
    • NASA researchers led by by Alan Stern, the principle investigator for NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission, have proposed a geophysical definition of a planet.
    • The new definition would include all known dwarf planets as well as our very own Moon, but would leave out other cosmic objects such as stars and black holes.

    NASA MANIFESTO

    Most people are just getting used to not counting Pluto among the solar system’s nine — oops, eight — main planets. Now though, we may have to change our understanding of what planets are (again), as NASA scientists suggest a new definition.

    Screen Shot 2017-02-21 at 10.41.19 AM
    CLICK TO VIEW FULL INFOGRAPHIC

    Back in 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) redefined what constitutes a planet in our solar system as follows: “a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.” It was the last bit in this definition that effectively kicked Pluto out of the planet roster.

    Now, NASA researchers led by by Alan Stern, the principle investigator for NASA’s New Horizons Pluto mission, have proposed a geophysical definition. Instead of being dependent on whether a cosmic body orbits the Sun or not, the scientists looked to their intrinsic physical properties. According to the manifesto, “a planet is a sub-stellar mass body that has never undergone nuclear fusion and that has sufficient self-gravitation to assume a spheroidal shape adequately described by a triaxial ellipsoid regardless of its orbital parameters.”

    The changing landscape of the Solar System

    A MATTER OF OPINION?

    Stern was particularly adamant about the 2006 decision, as it was proposed by California Institute of Technology (Caltech) astronomer Mike Brown. “Why would you listen to an astronomer about a planet?” Stern told Business Insider’s Kelly Dickerson back in 2015. “You really should listen to planetary scientists that know something about this subject,” added Stern, who is a planetary scientist himself. “When we look at an object like Pluto, we don’t know what else to call it.”

    Defining what a planet is isn’t as arbitrary is it seems. Stern and his team had to come up with a definition that would reinstate Pluto back into full-planetary status, while at the same time leaving out a host of other cosmic objects — like stars and other stellar bodies, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. The new definition, however, would include not just all known dwarf planets but also our very own moon.

    None of this is final, of course. But if there’s one thing we can conclude from this battle of definitions, it’s this: there’s still so much we don’t know about the cosmos. Recent discoveries about Pluto have made it more obvious than ever that it could be defined as a planet, but more research is needed to finally conclude what a planet is.

    Wave to the aliphatic compounds.

    Landmark Discovery Reveals Complex Organic Compounds on Ceres

    For the first time, scientists have identified rich, complex organic molecules on the dwarf planet Ceres — the kind of carbon-based compounds that are the building blocks for primitive life. The discovery could catapult Ceres to near the top of the list of places targeted in the search for extraterrestrial life.

    The molecules are called aliphatic organic compounds, and by all indications they formed on Ceres itself, rather than arriving via an external source like an impacted comet. Fans of the panspermia hypothesis — the theory that life throughout the universe has been “seeded” by traveling asteroids and comets — might look to this new data for support, but they won’t find it here. Ceres features enough water and possible heat-retention of its own to explain the evolution of the newfound molecules. It’s also pretty isolated compared to many other asteroids in our solar system (it’s classified as a small planet, but it’s more like an asteroid in terms of how it’s situated - the largest object in the belt that stretches between Mars and Jupiter). A paper describing the findings was published Thursday in the journal Science.

    “We prefer the hypothesis of formation in Ceres itself,” says first author Maria Cristina De Sanctis. “It would be difficult to deliver material between Ceres and other bodies, not just organic material but [as a] general problem.”

    Ceres

    De Sanctis and her colleagues made the observations using the Visible and InfraRed Mapping Spectrometer — a feature of NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, which studies Ceres alongside the asteroid Vesta and the surrounding objects in the belt. Ceres was the first dwarf planet ever visited by a spacecraft, when Dawn entered its orbit in 2015.

    What they saw was that on Ceres’s surface near the crater Ernutet (in the tradition of naming celestial objects after ancient gods and goddesses, this was the Egyptian goddess of fertility), there were signs of the right groups of methyl and methylene to support the presence of aliphatic compounds. If you’re picturing brackish primordial ooze, you’re not far off — the minerals are described as “tar-like.” Another reason the science indicates these compounds were formed on Ceres and not elsewhere is that these particular molecules likely wouldn’t have survived the extreme heat of an impact event. Nor does their pattern of distribution across Ceres’s surface fit with an impact theory.

    “Overall, I think it’s possible to transfer organic material from one body to another, or to bring by comet,” says Michael Kueppers, the author of a related paper on Ceres’s complex molecules. “But Ceres is the largest object around [that area], and also I associate panspermia more with the movement of microbes through the solar system and universe … this is about organic material.”

    De Sanctis agrees, noting that while it’s possible to get a mix of impacted material and target material, that’s not the main hypothesis in this case. Her research didn’t reveal any evidence for small asteroid, pieces of debris, or other spatial material of any kind around Ceres.

    “For other asteroids, for Vesta, we have a very large family [number of surrounding objects] that could also reach the Earth, but not for Ceres,” De Sanctis says.

    Ceres

    Both scientists believe that Ceres will now gain much greater traction as an object on which to theoretically find microbial life. It could even compete with Mars as the most prominent candidate. It’s already a more attractive target than the two other big names that tend to come up in this discussion — Europa and Enceladus — because a) it’s closer to Earth and therefore easier to potentially investigate and b) the radiation in its environment is more benign. Plus, in addition to having the right chemistry to make an appealing biological study, it’s the proper distance from the sun for sustaining ice — not too close or too far, but just right.

    When we’re differentiating between organic molecules that might indicate life and the ones that are just molecules, the factor most important to bear in mind is temperature, explains NASA planetary protection officer Catharine Conley. Ceres is extremely cold, so it would take something else - discovery of a liquid core, say - to get us really hoping for alien life.

    It’s important to contextualize the discovery not just in relation to Mars and various distant moons, but in relation to everything out there we haven’t had the chance to study yet. Organic compounds are all over the place — pretty much everywhere you have oxygen and carbon and hydrogen, which are the among the most common molecules in the universe. We will find organic compounds in many more places just as soon as we have the means to look there, and only a fraction of those, if any, will actually translate to biological life. The carbon chemistry required to create life the way we think of it on Earth is really, really complex, and the conditions needed to approximate it are narrow.

    But being able to understand what reactions are taking place on Ceres helps us understand exactly what those boundary conditions are. And as we go forward with these studies, it’ll be more vital than ever that we do so in controlled, sanitized settings — we’ll never be able to make any headway on the panspermia hypothesis if there’s a chance that non-indigenous life we find was introduced by our own scientific meddlings.

    “We know there’s life on Mars,” says Conley. “It’s Earth life, and we put it there.”

    We don’t actually know whether life, in the universe as a whole, is easy or hard to form, because we only have our own example — n=1, in science-speak — Earth. At least, for the time being.

    In the meantime, at least we still have this:

    Abstract

    The delivery of extraterrestrial complex organic molecules to Earth may have been important for the origin and early evolution of life (1) and signatures of organic matter on solar system bodies have been sought for decades. Organic compounds, including amino acids, occur in some chondritic meteorites, possibly formed during aqueous alteration on their parent bodies (2,3,4) and/or as the result of interstellar photochemistry (5). However, organics have not been unambiguously identified on the surfaces of asteroids (meteorite parent bodies) or on outer solar system objects, with few exceptions (6-12). Here we report the clear detection on dwarf planet Ceres of an absorption at 3.4 μm that is characteristic of the presence of organic matter. The existence on Ceres of a mixture of ammonia-bearing hydrated minerals, water ice, salts (13-16), and organic material indicates a complex chemical environment that could allow the formation of prebiotic molecules.

    Enormous UFO skidding off the surface of the Sun

    Incredible unknown object caught skidding off the surface of the Sun. This object is immense, around the size of Jupiter.


    Does this older footage, (see video below) from NASA confirm the possible existence of giant extraterrestrials who pilot gigantic spaceships in our solar system? .
    Another interesting anomaly caught near the Sun, which appears to show a large ring shaped UFO, firing a powerful beam of light into the suns corona.


    Two questions remain and need to be answered. Was the object attacking the sun, or was it refueling, drawing plasma from the corona to power its massive engines. See video here.

    The following object, similar to the other “Archon-like” anomalies appears to phase in or materialize next to the Suns corona, and then we see a very violent reaction taking place within the Sun itself.


    I believe this craft is actually drawing electrical power. Because of the Sun's positive charge, it acts as the anode in a plasma discharge, so it makes sense that these enormous extraterrestrial ships require immense power sources for fuel, what's more abundant and powerful than stars? See video here.

    Video below: Truly compelling footage of the Jupiter sized UFO or whatever this bizarre anomaly may actually be.

    Hybrid Air Vehicles

    Everyone’s favorite aircraft will rise again according to its maker, Hybrid Air Vehicles.

    The Airlander 10, which is world’s largest aircraft and doubles as the world’s biggest buttocks, will take to the skies again after “all major structural repairs are complete,” says the company.

    Its last launch took place last August and ended in a soft crash, with everyone on board escaping without injuries.

    HVA notes the cause of the crash is “fully understood” in its press release, which is great news seeing as how we’d all love to see the funny looking aircraft flying again sooner rather than later.

    Ultimately, the Airlander 10 has experienced a sad existence thus far as it was originally built for the military, yet never quite reached its full potential.

    Here’s to a better 2017, Airlander 10!

    The Nazca Lines: Ancient Vimana Runways

    What if, in the distant past, the Nazca lines were used as runways for the Ancient Vimana?

    Ever since the Nazca lines and their intricate figures were discovered, people have wondered what their real purpose was. Were these giant figures meant to be seen from above? Do hey mimic constellations in the sky? What were the ancient’s trying to say to future generations? Were the Nazca lines mere ancient art? If so… why would ancient mankind create art that cannot be fully appreciated from the ground? It seems that whatever way you look at the Nazca lines, trying to explain to them while maintaining a close mind like most researchers is something  impossible. What if the answer to the enigmatic Nazca lines is right in front of us, yet we do not want to accept it?

    Not long ago, Professor Masato Sakai, a specialist in Andean archaeology who has been investigating  the Nazca lines for over ten years; estimates that about one thousand of the straight lines found at Nazca have expressed, reaffirmed and facilitated communication and links between the villages and people. According to the theory proposed by Professor Sakai, the Nazca lines were produced over a period of about 2,000 years from 400 BC.

    While his theory is certainly interesting, it fails to explain the general purpose of the figurines, geometric shapes and giant ‘runways’ on mountains that seem as if their top was literally removed to create a nearly flat surface that strangely mimics modern-day runways.

    View-From-Above

    The question is why are we not interpreting the giant lines as what they seem to be… giant runways? Well, first of all, that would go against everything we have been told by history in the last hundreds of years. The ancient man who inhabited regions of the Americas, Asia and Africa was primitive and not advanced, so the idea that the Nazca lines could have been used as some sort of giant runway sounds ridiculous to those who abide to mainstream historians and archaeologists.

    Regrettably, it has been proven that mainstream scholars are very close minded when it comes to sites like the Nazca lines, Puma Punku, Tiahuanaco, Teotihuacan, etc…

    Just because mainstream scholars state that it is impossible that ancient mankind possessed advanced technology thousands of years ago, doesn’t necessary mean it’s true.

    An important question we need to ask is if the Nazca lines were actually ancient art or a way for ancient man to communicate, then why are there magnetic anomalies present at the Nazca lines? According to reports, scientists from the University of Dresden researched the Nazca lines. They measured the magnetic field and they found changes in the magnetic field under some of the lines at Nazca. Electrical conductivity was also measured at Nazca where tests were performed directly at the Nazca lines and next to them and the results showed that electric conductivity was 8000 higher on the lines than next to them. According to the researchers approx. eight feet beneath some of the lines there are magnetic field anomalies. There is something at Nazca that makes it unique, different from any other place on Earth but we simply do not know what it is.

    Nazca: The Ancient Vimana runway

    Ancient texts, specifically from India speak of the ancient Vimana, which are, according to many interpretations the vehicles of the gods who visited Earth in the distant past. These incredible flying machines, believed to be a myth by mainstream scholars, are said to have been able to travel for short periods of time to different places on the planet, the same Vimanas are also said to have the ability to travel from planet to planet.

    Aachaarya Naaraayana says, “That which can speed on earth, on water, through air, by its own power, like a bird, is a “Vimana.”

    Shankha says, “Experts in the science of aeronautics say, “That which can fly through air from one place to another is aVimana

    And Vishwambhara says, “Experts say that which can fly through air from one country to another country, from one island to another island, and from one world to another world, is a “Vimana“.”

    The Vaimānika Śāstra an early 20th-century Sanskrit text on aerospace technology makes a claim that he vimānas mentioned in ancient Sanskrit epics were advanced aerodynamic flying vehicles, similar to a rocket capable of interplanetary flight as backed up by the ancient alien theory. The texts were revealed in 1952 by G. R. Josye and contain 3000 shlokas in 8 chapters which Shastry claimed was psychically delivered to him by the ancient Hindu sage Bharadvaja. The propulsion of the Vimanas according to Kanjilal (1985) is by a “Mercury Vortex Engines”, a concept similar to electric propulsion.

    The authors argue that the sage Maharishi Bharadwaj would have described more than 7000 years ago “aircraft traveling between countries, continents and planets.” At the same time, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Mumbai, Rajan Welukar, said that “there is no reason to believe in what they say about the Vedas, but it is something that is worth studying.”

    So, what if the giant ‘runways’ that are clearly seen in Peru at the Nazca are in fact ‘navigational markers’ for ancient vehicles such as the Vimana? What if the ‘gods’ used these paths in the distant past to visit the people in Peru? And what if, ancient people created figurines such as the Nazca Astronaut in honor of those “gods” who came from above?

    Interestingly, according to some local legends, the mysterious Incan creator god Viracocha, commissioned the Nazca Lines and glyphs in the past. These lines are said to be created by the Viracocha himself. He was the great teacher God of the Andes.

    Viracocha was one of the most important deities in the Inca pantheon and seen as the creator of all things or the substance from which all things are created, and intimately associated with the sea. According to the myth recorded by Juan de Betanzos, Viracocha rose from Lake Titicaca (or sometimes the cave of Pacaritambo) during the time of darkness to bring forth light.

    Some of the parts of Nazca have amazing designs, highly accurate triangles that are a mystery. Some of the triangles look like they were made by something that literally pressed the ground down at least 30 inches with incredible force. Could the ancient Nazca have done this? With their feet? How would you press down a six-mile “perfect” triangle into the desert? These are some of the theories from mainstream scholars which try to explain the enigmatic lines at Nazca.
