Seven Earth-sized planets orbit nearby supercool star
Seven Earth-sized planets orbit nearby supercool star
Three planets’ paths put them in TRAPPIST-1’s habitable zone
PLANETARY LINEUP Seven Earth-sized planets orbit the star TRAPPIST-1 with short periods, from 1.5 to 20 Earth days. This artist’s illustration shows potential differences in the planets’ surfaces and sizes.

A nearby ultracool star harbors seven Earth-sized planets, three with orbits that potentially put them in a habitable zone. That makes the system, around a star called TRAPPIST-1, a prime target in the search for signs of alien life. Its discovery also hints that many more cousins of Earth may be out there than astronomers thought.
“It’s rather stunning that the system has so many Earth-sized planets,” says Drake Deming, an astronomer at the University of Maryland in College Park. It seems like every stable spot where a planet could be, there is an Earth-sized one. “That bodes well for finding habitable planets,” he says.
Michaël Gillon, an astrophysicist at University of Liège in Belgium, and colleagues announced last year that they had found three Earth-sized planets around TRAPPIST-1, an ultracool dwarf star previously called 2MASS J23062928−0502285 (SN: 05/28/16, p. 6). The star, about the size of Jupiter and much cooler than the sun, is 39 light-years from Earth in the constellation Aquarius. Follow-up observations with ground-based telescopes and the Spitzer Space Telescope now reveal that the third planet is actually four additional Earth-sized ones, three of which could be habitable. If those planets have Earthlike atmospheres, they may even have liquid water oceans on their surfaces, Gillon and colleagues report online February 22 in Nature. Data also revealed signs of a seventh outer planet in the system.
All seven planets were detected by watching how their star dims as the planets pass in front of it from Earth’s vantage point. Calculations of the amount of starlight blocked by each transit indicates that all seven have roughly the same radius as Earth. These dips in starlight can also reveal how fast the planets orbit the star: The innermost one makes a round trip in 1.5 Earth days, while it takes the outermost one about 20 days.

To calculate the planets’ masses, which range from about half to 1.5 times that of Earth, researchers looked at the way the six inner planets tug on each other. The mass and size data together then allowed the team to calculate the planets’ densities, suggesting that the inner six are rocky.
The length of each planet’s day may sync with its stellar orbit, so the innermost planet’s day lasts 1.5 Earth days and the outermost planet’s day lasts about 20 Earth days. That’s like Earth rotating once in 365 days instead of in 24 hours. Such a spin means the same side of a planet faces the star throughout the planet’s orbit, giving it a day side and a night side. Astronomers feared that would make the planets too hot on the day side and too cold on the night side to be habitable. But if they have Earthlike atmospheres, TRAPPIST-1e, TRAPPIST-1f and TRAPPIST-1g would be warm enough all over to have liquid water, making them ripe for life. The seventh planet, TRAPPIST-1h, is probably icy, Gillon says, maybe like Jupiter’s moon Europa.
EARTH’S COUSINS Detecting seven Earth-sized planets orbiting an ultracool dwarf star is exotic. This video describes some of the data collected to make the discovery and what the analyses are revealing about these foreign worlds.
Finding these seven planets suggests that Earth cousins may be more common than expected. “We are on the right angle to see this system and its Earth-sized planets,” says Deming, who was not involved in the study. “For every system we see, there are dozens more that we don’t.” Stars like TRAPPIST-1 with Earth-sized planets are probably not rare, he notes. If they were, it would have taken many more observations to find them. The fact that Gillon and colleagues’ pilot project to study ultracool dwarfs spotted planets so quickly indicates that it may be the norm for these stars to harbor planets similar to Earth.
Studying the atmospheres of such planets could reveal if they have life, especially if gases such as methane and oxygen are detected. It could be possible to study the planets’ atmospheres with the Hubble Space Telescope or its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, slated to launch in 2018. Deming is cautious, however, about how easy these atmospheric studies of the planets will be. Ultracool dwarfs’ starlight can vary, he notes. There are also atmospheric effects from the stars that astronomers don’t yet understand. Both could make it difficult to decipher what gases are in the planets’ atmospheres.
Didier Queloz, a study coauthor and an astronomer at the University of Cambridge, is a bit more optimistic. “We have no idea what these planets look like now. They could be wet or dry. We just don’t know,” he says. “But for the first time since the first exoplanet was discovered 25 years ago, we may be able to answer the question about life beyond our solar system.”
Andre Milne says Area 51 is used for exploring Russian fighter plane technology.
The top-secret US Airforce facility hidden away in the Nevada desert is so classified that it was only in 2013 that the US Government openly admitted it existed.
And, last year Hillary Clinton vowed to send in a task force to find out just what goes on inside it if she made it to the White House as part of her election campaign.
Theories about what Area 51 is used for range from the development of classified aircraft to a storage facility for recovered UFOs and alien body parts after alleged flying saucer crashes.
Armed private security guards are authorised to use "lethal force" on anyone foolish enough to enter the site unannounced.
Last year, Express.co.uk ran a poll asking readers if they believed evidence of alien visitations of Earth was being hidden in Area 51.
There were 7,139 votes, and a remarkable 66 percent thought there was an alien cover up under way inside Area 51.
But, industry insider Andre Milne, founder of defence technology firm Unicorn Aerospace, which describes itself as "the world's leading developer of advanced navigation technology", claims this is not the case.
He says one of Area 51's main purposes is to test Russian warplanes to ensure the US stays one step ahead of its Cold War rival.
Mr Milne claimed the US Airforce (USAF) uses Area 51 to study Russian fighter jets - something that used to be done by The 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron at various locations until it was formally disbanded in July 1990.
He said: "An operational priority of the USAF is to fully understand the maximum endurance combat threshold of any potential adversaries primary front line military fighter aircraft.
"Following the official disbandment of The 4477th Test & Evaluation Squadron that was tasked with actively studying Russian fighter jets, Area 51 is now the unofficially designated base that does the exact same work as The 4477th.
Area 51 is a highly secured aerospace facility tasked with a wide variety of objectives to ensure the United States maintains a cutting edge of tactical air superiority against any potential threats.
Andre Milne
"Hopefully this helps in quashing the nonsensical myth that Area 51 is intertwined with some fictitious alien technology conspiracy.
"Area 51 is a highly secured aerospace facility tasked with a wide variety of objectives to ensure the United States maintains a cutting edge of tactical air superiority against any potential threats."
Last month Expresss.co.uk revealed pictures taken by a photographer of a mock dog fight between a US F-16 and a Russian Sukhoi SU-27 taking place in the skies above Area 51, before the fighters returned to base..
Mr Milne said that was an example of the work at Area 51 he has told of being underway.
He has previously told how so-called "Black Projects" are also underway inside Area 51.
Black Projects is a conspiracy theory name for the top-secret development of new experimental military aircraft.
Mr Milne says this is also ongoing at Area 51.
He said: "Area 51 is a very well secured US Air Force base that is mandated to test and evaluate the performance of experimental and or classified US military aircraft.
"The whole alien question being run out of Area 51 is complete nonsense."
According to its website, Unicorn Aerospace is "committed to development of advanced aerospace technologies in order to maximise revenue stream growth potential into the respective markets of the private commercial and public military sectors.".
Express.co.uk has contacted the United States Department of Defense for comment.

Russian soldiers zapped by aliens after shooting down UFO, declassified CIA report claims
Russian soldiers zapped by aliens after shooting down UFO, declassified CIA report claims
RUSSIAN military shot down a UFO before they were attacked and killed by the surviving aliens, it is sensationally claimed in a declassified CIA report.
The shocking report, which includes claims that 23 soldiers were turned into stone by the aliens in the UFO after they transformed into a ball of light, was buried among thousands of declassified files published online by the US intelligence agency.
The report in question, created on March 27 1993, is a translation by the CIA of a report from the Ukrainian newspaper Ternopil vechirniy.
The newspaper report said that after Mikhail Gorbachev lost power in 1991, many KGB files made their way to the CIA, including an alleged 250-page dossier on the bizarre UFO attack, which included pictures and witness testimonies.
The report suggested that a low flying flying saucer had appeared over a military unit in training in Siberia, before one of the soldiers fired a surface to air missile, bringing it down.
GETTY
The UFO was said to have been shot down by Russian soldiers.
CIA
The now declassified CIA report with the extraordinary claims.
It said: "Five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes got out.”
Two soldiers are said to have survived, who described how, after emerging from the debris, the five beings merged into a brilliant white spherical ball of light that buzzed and hissed.
It then exploded, and as it did 23 soldiers who stood watching were turned into stone, the report claimed.
The two survivors had been in a shaded area, it said.
Five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes got out.
CIA report
The report said: "The KGB report goes on to say that the remains of the 'petrified soldiers' were transferred to a secret research institution near Moscow.
"Specialists assume that a source of energy still unknown to Earthlings instantly changed the structure of the soldiers living organisms, having transformed it into a substance whose molecular structure was no different to limestone.
"A CIA representative stated: 'if the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case.
"The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions'."
It is not explained in the document why the CIA held a translation of the Ukrainian newspaper report on file.
However, the translated newspaper report contained in the declassified CIA file said the source of the information had come from the Canadian Weekly World News, which was known at the time for publishing outlandish and fictional news headlines.
According to UFO website anf YouTube channel Lionsground, "you have to be careful about what the CIA publishes online, as it could be misinformation."

‘Aliens accidentally killed me but took my corpse onto UFO to save my life' - shock claim
‘Aliens accidentally killed me but took my corpse onto UFO to save my life' - shock claim
A MAN was accidentally killed by a laser blast from a UFO… before his corpse was taken aboard and he was miraculously brought to life, it has astonishingly been claimed.
The events which allegedly happened to Travis Walton 41 years ago are one of the world's most infamous so-called alien abduction cases.
But, it now appears he may not actually have been abducted after all - but instead rescued.
The twist in the story has been revealed by UFO researcher JP Robinson, after a meeting with Mr Walton at an alien conference.
The case began in November 1975 in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, near Phoenix, Arizona, when six forestry worker colleagues of Mr Walton's reported him missing after they allegedly saw him get blasted back 20 feet by an energy beam from a UFO that "appeared over the trees”.
Officers thought it was an elaborate cover up and that they had actually killed him and disposed of the body.
But five days later he turned-up, saying he had been abducted by aliens and had been forced to punch his way out.
He relayed what happened in his book Fire In The Sky which was turned into a Hollywood movie of the same name in 1993.
He claims to have seen three grey aliens on the UFO, and later, human-looking beings described as "smooth-skinned and blemish-less".
Now, Mr Robinson has relayed the new details on his website.
He wrote: "I was never convinced of the authenticity of this incident, not to say I didn't believe it, just that you can never be wholly sure.
"All that changed when I met Travis Walton… and got the fantastic opportunity to speak face to face with the man who claims to have met beings from another world, and try to figure out whether he is for real or just a reallygood liar!
YouTube
Travis Walton claims he was killed by a UFO then aliens inside it saved his life.
"After having spent quality time in his presence and talking privately about his experience, I can only conclude that this man really did meet these beings aboard their ship.
"What wasn't clear before was the question of why would they 'zap' him with that beam of light to begin with?
"It's all a bit too sci-fi for me.”
However, he said he now realises it was an accident, which killed Mr Walton.
He said: ”Travis was in the wrong place at the wrong time and should never have been stood so close to such an incredible machine.
"He himself explained that he was just about to turn back to the truck seconds before being struck.
"It now seems that as the craft was preparing to take off into the night sky it inadvertently knocked Travis for six, killing him in the process.
"Yes, you read that right. Travis told me that he believed that he was actually dead.
"So now we get to the real question which so many people ask...why did they take him on board? Well, according to the man himself, they took him in order to save his life - and this they clearly succeeded in doing."
Mr Robinson said the story now had a "more legitimate tone".
TRAVISWALTON
Travis Walton in 1975 around the time of the bizarre incident.
Yes, you read that right. Travis told me that he believed that he was actually dead.
JP Robinsion
He added it was “an accident and an act of humanitarianism.”
He said: "Travis Walton has made me believe again, or should I say know again, that we truly are in the midst of something remarkable and it is only a matter of time before the bigger picture is revealed."
Now, 41 years on, Mr Walton and his former co-workers still maintain their account of what is recognised as the world's most remarkable UFO sighting and alien abduction claim on record.
The team, who were on a tree-thinning project, have all passed lie detector tests over the remarkable incident in November 1975, adding credibility to their account.
The seven of them reported how they were driving in the forest in a truck when they first saw mysterious lights which then appeared to be a flying saucer up in the canopy.
A mesmerised Mr Walton was the only one among them to venture out of the vehicle and approach the craft, despite his colleagues pleading with him not to go near.
Mr Walton said: "My eyes were just riveted on this thing. Then it threw me back through the air 20 feet."
His colleagues reported seeing him fly backwards with his back arched from a beam of light bearing down from the craft.
The terrified men fled in the vehicle, but returned later when there was no trace of the UFO or Mr Walton.
Mr Walton insists he woke up inside an alien craft, lying on a table and surrounded by three aliens with other humanoid looking beings in the background.
He said: "I got this rush of adrenaline and jumped from the table and just lashed out. Then I blacked out and woke up on the side of the road and ran to the nearest call box and collapsed."
What he didn't know at the time was he had been gone for five days.
There are still sceptics however, and those who claim it was an elaborate hoax.
The www.occupytheory.org website, part of the Occupy movement, is not convinced by the story and points out there were no witnesses to Mr Walton being drawn up into the spacecraft, adding that he could have hid for five days before reappearing.
In a report about the case, the website said: "Once Walton returned he wouldn’t just talk to the press.
"He’d only talk with publications that believed in UFOs.
"The story ran in the National Enquirer in 1975."
It also claimed he failed a lie detector carried out by the Enquirer and there was a history of UFO/alien claims among his immediate family before the "abduction".

Adapted from the novella Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang, about a linguist who decodes an alien language, Eric Heisserer’s script was too intricate, too cerebral to interest studio executives. He shopped his screenplay around Hollywood for years before he found producers to champion the project. And only after another few years of re-working the script did it land on director Denis Villeneuve’s desk, who turned it into the Oscar-nominated film Arrival for Paramount Pictures.
The fact that Villeneuve’s Arrival—a heady sci-fi studio film with a female scientist as its main character—was nominated for the Oscar for best picture at all is worth celebrating. (Heisserer was also nominated for his adapted screenplay.) It won’t, however, win the night’s biggest award. Betting sites put the film’s odds of winning at around 100 to 1, far behind the two favorites, La La Land and Moonlight.
But that matters not. Because against the odds, Arrival works. One could name several different reasons for its critical and commercial success: Amy Adams’s sublimely understated performance; Jóhann Jóhannsson’s cryptic, alluring score; Bradford Young’s stunning photography; or editor Joe Walker’s scrupulous puzzle-playing, to name only a few.
Arrival‘s ultimate triumph, though, is how all of these things, together with the conceptual consistency of Villeneuve’s filmmaking, combine to pull off one of the most remarkable plot twists in cinema history.
It’s easy shorthand, but to call what happens toward the end of Arrival a “twist” is a disservice to its genius. Film twists often materialize out of thin air, tricks or random reversals inserted purely for shock value. The ending of Arrival doesn’t shock so much as it re-contextualizes the entire experience of watching the film. It represents a paradigm shift in the story: Villeneuve and company change the game right in front of your eyes, and you don’t realize it until the exact moment that you need to.
In the beginning of the film, we see Louise Banks, the linguist played by Amy Adams, caring for her young daughter, who’s dying. Throughout the film, Louise dreams of her daughters death, the flashbacks of a grieving mother. Of course, it’s not until the climax of the film does Louise (and, thus, the viewer) recognize that these aren’t flashbacks but flashforwards to the tragic story of a life yet lived, that of her future daughter. Studying the extraterrestrial language, she learns, has re-wired her brain to perceive time nonlinearly, just as the aliens do.
This actually isn’t the first time that this magic trick of storytelling has been performed on screen. But it has never been executed so beautifully. And it’s certainly never been bound so closely to the meaning of the film or the experience of watching it.
A masterclass of foreshadowing presages the final reveal. The best twists, as I’ve written before, must have breadcrumbs laid out for the viewer to find—but they should be more apparent the second time around than during the initial viewing, almost as if you get a special pair of glasses to see them, after you watch the film once.
A whole new world. (Paramount Pictures)
Allusions to Arrival‘s nonlinear narrative and the circular nature of its storytelling are present in every aspect of the film. Jóhannsson’s enchanting score contains musical palindromes—vocal patterns that repeat backwards and forwards. (Hannah, the name of Louise’s daughter, is also a palindrome.) The set design of Louise’s home, the university where she teaches, and the interior of the aliens’ ship all look like one another.
“You can see elements of the horizontal ship chamber where Louise communicates with aliens reflected in her house and in the classroom, ” production designer Patrice Vermette told Vanity Fair. “For Louise, the idea of the chamber was pre-conveyed in her world.” Villeneuve also told the set designers to incorporate circularity into their designs whenever they could “without making it obvious,” Vermette said.
One of the most famous principles of drama is “Chekov’s gun,” which states that each element of a narrative, however small, must be important to the story. “One must never place a loaded rifle on the stage if it isn’t going to go off,” the Russian writer Anton Chekov, is believed to have said.
These hints at the interrelation of present, past, and future don’t just factor into the story of Arrival (and thus fulfill Chekov’s principle)—they are the story. In the film, language literally changes the way Louise can perceive the world. That process is mirrored in how the “twist” and the visual language of cinema alter your perception of events as the movie watcher.
In the video above, Evan Puschak of the popular YouTube channel Nerdwriter breaks down some of the brilliance of Arrival‘s storytelling technique. The language that the aliens gift to Louise echoes the “unique perspective a film can gift a filmgoer,” he says. Films, essentially, can guide us through time in ways our own reality can’t.
In a way, the alien language lets Louise see the story of her life as if she were watching a movie of it—capable of moving both backwards and forwards, knowing the ending before it happens but still choosing to see it through.
Arrival is a completely different movie the second time you see it, once you know which scenes take place when. More clues start to present themselves: Early in the film, Louise’s partner, a physicist (played by Jeremy Renner), reads from her book about linguistics. “Language,” he recites, “is the first weapon drawn in a conflict.” Later on, Louise translates a message from the aliens: “Offer weapon.” The humans think they’re being threatened with a literal weapon, but remember—what’s the first “weapon” drawn in a conflict? Why, language, of course. The aliens were merely offering humanity the gift of their all-seeing language.
Louise and Ian, the physicist, nickname their two alien counterparts Abbott and Costello, a clever reference to the duality of meaning for anyone familiar with the “Who’s on First?” comedy routine by the legendary duo. It seems obvious in retrospect, but the first time around, even the most discerning of viewers are not equipped to notice clues like that, without, of course, the gift of knowing the future.
It’s rare, but not unprecedented, for a plot twist to double as a paradigm shift. Christopher Nolan’s Memento did it. M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense did it too. What sets Arrival apart is how the game-changer is also the central theme of the film—that how we perceive the world is defined by how, and with whom, we communicate.
It would all fall apart without Denis Villeneuve’s impeccable eye for detail. Arrival is a film by a filmmaker refreshingly in total command of his craft. Villeneuve knows precisely what he intends to convey to the viewer, and with the help of actors, writers, editors, musicians, cinematographers, and set designers committed to that singular vision, he delivered the most rewarding cinematic experience of 2016.

Nasa announcement: Will it announce the discovery of alien life at the 6pm press conference?
Nasa announcement: Will it announce the discovery of alien life at the 6pm press conference?
Nasa will hold a press conference at 6pm today in which it will present a finding "beyond our solar system", leading to hopes that it may be the discovery of alien life.
Although the content of today’s “major announcement” remains shrouded in mystery, the agency has said it will reveal details of “exoplanets”, planets which orbit stars other than the sun.

These are significant because they are the major hope for discovering life beyond planet Earth, and scientists focus particularly on those a similar distance from their star as Earth is from the sun.
One of the great questions of all time is whether we are alone in the universePaul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division, NASA in Washington
If the announcement is not the discovery of alien life, the most significant detail may be the extent to which the new planet or planets have the conditions favourable for life, which would make them the focus of more intense study by astronomers.
The most significant detail in this respect is whether or not the new planet or planets include liquid water, the principal ingredient for life.
“One of the great questions of all time is whether we are alone in the universe," Paul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division at Nasa's headquarters in Washington, said at the time.

“We live in a time when humanity can answer this question scientifically. And the first sign of answering this question is looking at exoplanets."
Nasa has so far analysed dozens of planets that orbit sun-like stars at similar distances as the Earth to the sun.
At a press conference earlier this year the organisation announced it had discovered 1,284 new planets, nine of which were in the "habitable zone".
The press conference will take place at 6 pm GMT (1 pm EST) on Wednesday.

'Great observatory'
The Spitzer Space Telescope was launched in 2003 and uses infrared technology to examine planets light years away.
After 4,930 days in space the telescope, the fourth and final element of NASA's Great Observatories programme, the craft is now more than 145 million miles from Earth.
It was named, following a public vote, after Lyman Spitzer, a major champion of space telescopes in the 1940s.
In just under 75 minutes we will know what new worlds it has seen.
NASA has given few clues as to its announcement at 6pm GMT, but we do know scientists from its Spitzer telescope will be at the press conference.
They spend their time observing 'exoplanets', and in particular looking for ones similar to Earth that could support life.
Alien breakthrough: NASA makes MASSIVE leap in hunt for extraterrestrial life
Alien breakthrough: NASA makes MASSIVE leap in hunt for extraterrestrial life
SPACE boffins have made a key discovery in the search for extraterrestrial life.
Ocean world Enceladus would appear to be one of the many cold, icy and inhabitable landmarks in the solar system.
But Saturn's moon has been earmarked as a potential home for other life after a salt water ocean was found beneath the moon's crust.
And experts believe there could be hydrothermal activity as well, which would further support alien life.
NASA
BREAKTHROUGH: NASA has made a shock discovery on Enceladus
That has altered the way we think about where life might be found in our own Solar System, and in the worlds beyond”
Linda Spilker
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has now detected geysers under the planet's surface erupting into space.
The plumes emitted from the planet included gases and salts as well as water vapour, proving the existence of the global saltwater ocean.
Cassini project scientist Linda Spilker said extensive study of the moon has suggested it is being heated by tidal forces from Saturn, and could well support organic life.
GETTY
ALRIGHT GEYSER: How the water supply might look
Life has been found in similar conditions in extinct oceans under the surface of the earth.
She added: "That has altered the way we think about where life might be found in our own Solar System, and in the worlds beyond."
Other ocean worlds such as Jupiter's moon Europa, Saturn's moon Titan and Neptune's moon Triton are also being studied for alien life forms.
You know what doesn't make sense? Rampantspeculation that somehow this press conference, scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on a Wednesday — the same time the science journal Nature lifts its embargo every week — is an announcement that NASA has found alien life in the universe.
That hasn't stopped numerous news organizations and people on social media from speculating that the space agency will, in fact, publicly announce that aliens are real and we've found them. This is my favorite headline so far: "Has Nasa found ALIENS? Space agency to announce ‘discovery beyond our solar system"
'World on brink of being told aliens EXIST' after NASA 'hints at announcement'
THE world's population is being primed for an announcement that aliens have visited Earth after NASA hinted at new developments, conspiracy theorists have shockingly claimed.
Has Nasa found ALIENS? Space agency to announce ‘discovery beyond our solar system’ http://shr.gs/wKN2RVX
Has Nasa found ALIENS? Space agency to announce ‘discovery beyond our solar system’
NASA scientists are about to announce “new findings on planets that orbit stars other than our sun”- prompting speculation that it may have found ALIEN life.
If you want to watch the NASA announcement — which is seriously not about aliens but is about something cool — the agency will stream it live in the window below starting at 1 p.m. ET Wednesday.
This isn't the first time NASA has gotten the internet's hopes up by plugging a mysterious sounding announcement before a science journal's embargo lifts, either.
This kind of thing seems to happen every time the agency hints at announcing any science result at all.
There's nothing inherently wrong with NASA's habit of mysteriously announcing that an announcement will be made.
It's actually a great strategy if you want people to watch your mid-day press conferences. But that said, it's also clear that this whole thing just gives news outlets free rein to speculate in an attempt to drive plenty of traffic.
But here's a good rule of thumb for all you consumers of news out there: It's not aliens.
Besides, we all know that if it ever is aliens, that news will be dumped overboard on a Friday evening before a long weekend.

50.000 jaar oude bizarre organismen ontdekt in gigantische ondergrondse kristallen
50.000 jaar oude bizarre organismen ontdekt in gigantische ondergrondse kristallen
Wetenschappers hebben in een Mexicaanse mijn vreemde levensvormen gevonden die in ondergrondse kristallen gevangen zitten, schrijft nieuwssite MNN.
Vermoed wordt dat de microben al minstens 50.000 jaar in de kristallen leven.
Het is NASA-wetenschappers gelukt om enkele van de organismen te verwijderen uit de kristallen en weer tot leven te wekken.
Superleven
Je waant je in de mijn van Naica, die zich 300 meter onder de grond bevindt, op een andere planeet. Er schijnt geen licht naar binnen en de temperatuur loopt er op tot 65 graden Celsius.
De onderzoekers weten nog maar heel weinig over de organismen die in de gigantische kristallen zijn gevonden.
“Het is superleven,” zei Penelope Boston van het NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI). De 40 soorten microben die ontdekt zijn, zijn totaal verschillend van alle andere levensvormen.
Bizar
De organismen, die leven van onder meer ijzer en zwavel, zijn zo bizar dat hun meest naaste verwanten zich op de genetische stamboom zo ver bevinden als mensen van paddenstoelen.
Onder het ijs van Antarctica werden enkele jaren terug levende organismen van een half miljoen jaar oud gevonden.
De ontdekking bewijst volgens de wetenschappers dat leven op aarde onder extremere omstandigheden kan gedijen dan altijd werd gedacht.
UFO-jagers ontdekken iets mysterieus in video van Duitse straaljagers die vliegtuig begeleiden
UFO-jagers ontdekken iets mysterieus in video van Duitse straaljagers die vliegtuig begeleiden
Zondag werden beelden van enkele vliegtuigen boven de Duitse stad Keulen op sociale media geplaatst, waarna oplettende kijkers een geheimzinnige zwarte stip opmerken die zich met grote snelheid voortbewoog.
Al snel werd gespeculeerd dat het om een ongeïdentificeerd vliegend object (UFO) ging. Er wordt inmiddels druk gediscussieerd over de beelden.
De video werd gemaakt toen enkele Duitse straaljagers een vliegtuig dat op weg was naar Londen begeleidden, nadat het toestel geen contact meer kon maken met de Duitse luchtverkeersleiding.
Niet overtuigd
Veel mensen ontdekten dat er iets vreemds aan de hand was met het filmpje. “Geweldige video! Er vliegt trouwens een UFO door de wolken,” schreef iemand.
“Ik heb deze video al enkele keren voorbij zien komen,” schreef een ander. “Er is iets heel vreemds aan de hand.”
Luchtvaartdeskundigen menen dat het gaat om de schaduw van een vliegtuig dat hoger vliegt en niet op de beelden is te zien. Anderen zijn niet overtuigd door deze bewering.
Niet zo snel
Sommigen stellen dat een vliegtuig niet zo snel kan vliegen, terwijl sceptici van mening zijn dat er niets bijzonders op de beelden is te zien.
De beelden zijn gemaakt vanuit een toestel van British Airways dat zich in de buurt van het incident bevond.
VIDEO: “Roswell-UFO was niet alleen en maakte deel uit van een vloot”
VIDEO: “Roswell-UFO was niet alleen en maakte deel uit van een vloot”
De UFO-crash bij Roswell in New Mexico in juli 1947 is één van de meest gedenkwaardige gebeurtenissen in de geschiedenis.
Voor het eerst gaan ‘drie van de meest getalenteerde remote viewers op aarde’ een antwoord proberen te vinden op de vraag wat er precies is gebeurd.
Deze remote viewers, die al eerder hebben deelgenomen aan wetenschappelijke experimenten, gaan onder meer proberen een kijkje te nemen in en buiten het object dat in de woestijn is neergekomen.
Verborgen
Ze reizen terug in de tijd om de herkomst van het vaartuig te bepalen en meer te vertellen over de wezens die het bestuurden en bouwden.
Over de inspanningen van de remote viewers is een documentaire gemaakt. Centraal in de film staat het Farsight Institute, dat zich bezighoudt met grootschalige projecten op het gebied van remote viewing oftewel verzien.
“We richten ons op doelen die onthullen wat lange tijd voor zoveel mensen verborgen is gebleven,” aldus het instituut.
Vloot
De remote viewers kregen van tevoren geen informatie over dit specifieke project. Pas achteraf kregen ze te horen dat het experiment betrekking had op de Roswell-crash in juli 1947.
“Dat ding was niet alleen,” zei Dick Allgire, één van de remote viewers. “Het maakte deel uit van een vloot, een squadron, een cluster.”

Unexpected Birth Has This Lady Thinking That She May Be An Alien Hybrid, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Aliens are all around us. On every moon and planet in our solar system, in Earths orbit and skies, and even on our planet. This woman dives into the subject and explains how her life has been impacted by the visits of aliens. Scott C. Waring Video states:
French talking. 6'3" with blonde-hair and green eyes. Lisa has dependably felt like she is "distinctive." More remarkable than her striking nearness is the way that Lisa trusts she might be what numerous in UFO hovers allude to as a human-cross breed. Half breeds are frequently characterized as the offspring of abductees who have been subjected to contact with outsiders where ladies have been impregnated. The outcome is the introduction of an outsider human cross breed with outsider attributes in these crossover kids that lay lethargic. It is the human qualities that are more dynamic.
However something else is seen and these human half and halves feel like they don't completely have a place on Earth. All things considered, the eyes of these human half and halves are regularly profoundly convincing. When they take a gander at you, it feels as though they achieve profound into your spirit. Deep down, they every now and again report longs for flying and out-of-body encounters that regularly carry them into space where contact with their ET starting points are seen. Cross breeds additionally report that they are exceptionally instinctive. They sense, feel and apparently discuss clairvoyantly, with their patrimonial clairvoyant aptitudes tuning into read the contemplations of people without saying a word to them. These qualities and the sky is the limit from there, characterize Lisa's encounters.
Having a secretive birth and numerous UFO-related encounters for the duration of her life, Lisa shares only a couple of her high abnormality perceptions translated into English through UFO Researcher, Luigi Vendittelli from Montreal, Canada. "I have an explanation behind being here and it is somewhat not quite the same as other individuals however I feel there are many individuals like this. There is something to be finished. We have to change things and it's an overwhelming weight to have." Lisa says as she herself tries to get a handle on the riddle of what she feels inside.
Alien Ship Hovering Over Nellis Air Force Base On Feb 19, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Alien Ship Hovering Over Nellis Air Force Base On Feb 19, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: February 19, 2017
Location of sighting: Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Here is a great sighting that took place just a few days ago in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was over Nellis AFB which has over 1,000 square miles of land...which people never question why they need so much land. Its because the Tall Whites moved in. The USAF let the Tall Whites build their own underground base behind the old firing range. An alien race thats lives up to 800 years and is highly arrogant and aggressive. Excellent video by Steven Barone of Youtube.
Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of February 19, 2017. If you haven't heard of the USA space fleet I highly suggest you look up "Solar Warden" or "Gary McKinnon." He was the Scottish hacker that penetrated the computers at NASA and the Johnson Space Center. He wasn't trying to do any harm but wanted to know more about UFOs and what the USA knew about them. What he found far exceeded anything he was expecting. He found evidence od a secret space fleet that had been in existence since the 1980's. It is said that the USA has at least eight tubular motherships and nearly fifty smaller ones. What really blew him away was a list of non-terrestrial officers and ship to ship transfers. If you believe this then you have to ask where this secret space fleet is based. Where better than Area 51 and Nellis Air Force Base. This is just a theory of mine and I cannot prove it but based on everything I have seen and filmed over a nearly three-year period it is the only thing that makes sense.
United States: Circle-shaped UFO appears after thunderstrike
United States: Circle-shaped UFO appears after thunderstrike
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: The Same Two UFOs Appear In Five Videos Taken By Different People In Different Positions
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.
'Goal to search for evidence of life' on Jupiter moon 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.”
Watch video of Golden Records programmed by NASA in 1977 to explain the story of Earth:
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.
YouTube
A series of UFO sightings over Iran and Kuwait led to specuklation over aliens.
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.
