Here's Our Best Look Yet at Saturn's 'UFO' Moon
Here's Our Best Look Yet at Saturn's 'UFO' Moon
Adorned with a thin band of icy ring particles, the small moon Pan inspires comparisons to alien spacecraft, walnuts, and even ravioli.

There’s a tiny “flying saucer” orbiting deep within Saturn’s rings, and a NASA probe has just gotten its most impressive look yet at the strange object.
Named for the flute-playing Greek god of wild places, 21-mile-wide Pan is what’s called a shepherd moon. It lives within a gap in Saturn’s A ring, which is the farthest loop of icy particles from the planet. As it zips around Saturn, Pan continually clears debris from the gap by vacuuming up some ring particles and punting others away, like a little Roomba with a force field.
Another raw image from Cassini showcases Pan's equatorial band.

In fact, it’s this absence of ring junk that led scientists to predict Pan’s existence as early as the mid-1980s. But the small moon wasn’t officially discovered until 1990, when Mark Showalter and his colleagues took a good look at images returned by the Voyager 2 spacecraft and found the moon that is responsible for the gap’s existence.
These more recent images show in detail that the moon is swaddled in what’s called an equatorial accretion disk, or a smooth, thin layer of ring particles that have been glued on to Pan’s waistline by the moon’s meager gravity.
"This is such a far cry from the nondescript 'dots' that I was tracking way back in 1990 in the Voyager images! It's very gratifying finally to see Pan's closeup,"says Showalter, now at the SETI Institute in California.
In a 2007 study published in Science, Porco suggested the thin disk formed long ago, before the moon had completely vacuumed out material from the gap.
"The shape, as others have also pointed out, is probably because it is always sweeping up fine dust from the rings," Showalter explains. "The rings are very thin compared to the size of Pan, so the dust accumulates around its equator."
Pan isn’t alone in its bizarre appearance: Another small moon, Atlas, bears a similar shape for similar reasons.
This undated image shows shows an artist's rendering of NASA's Juno spacecraft making a close pass over Jupiter. On Thursday, Feb. 23, 2017, NASA said its the spacecraft is stuck making long laps around the gas giant because of sticky valves.

Late last month, the discovery of seven earth-sized planets that could potentially have life rocked the scientific community. The planets are relatively close on the cosmic scale: only 40 light-years from Earth. The dwarf star these planets orbit is called Trappist-1, and is much smaller than our sun. Out of the seven planets, scientists say that the fourth, fifth and sixth from the star are at the right distance at which there could be flowing water on the surface. In the coming months and years, scientists will be able to monitor the atmospheres of these planets for molecules associated with life, and some are hoping that they might discover radio signals from an extraterrestrial civilization.
Finding life of any form would be possibly the greatest scientific achievement in all of human history. It would redefine our place in the universe, answer some of our biggest questions and probably raise many more. Plus it would be mind-blowingly cool. There are, however, many uncertainties regarding the discovery of extraterrestrial life.
The discovery of alien life would be reality-altering for many, but these changes could be for the better. Knowledge that there is extraterrestrial life could help teach some people that the differences among the human race are pretty meaningless. We would be less willing to view different countries and nationalities as competitors or even enemies if we were one intelligent race among many. Hopefully such a discovery would change our perspective in such a way that humanity could unite together and see each other as one human race.
The most concerning issue is how we would interact with alien life that we discover, whether intelligent or not. Directly interacting with life from a star 40 light-years away would be impossible for thousands of years at a minimum, but it is still a question we should reflect on. If we discovered a planet with primordial life, would it be right to help facilitate evolution and artificially speed up the development of advanced lifeforms? Or is it wrong for humanity to meddle with nature in this way? Serious moral questions could be raised, especially in cases where it seems that only our “divine” intervention could stave off some sort of disaster.
We must also determine what course of action to take if we encounter life that is advanced in a similar fashion to humanity. There are many among us who would see an advanced alien civilization as a potential threat and some might even advocate a preemptive attack. Such a course of action, if taken before trying to establish contact with a civilization, would be barbaric. We must not let science fiction movies such as “Independence Day” dictate how we approach extraterrestrials.
We should certainly be cautious when approaching advanced aliens. However, like we are with spiders, we must understand that they are likely to be just as scared of us as we are of them. A successful interaction will depend on both sides utilizing all of their resources to achieve effective communication. The scary part, of course, is that neither side can initially know what the other is planning. It only takes one side that does not trust the other to lead to disaster.
This is a very arbitrary issue and many of the decisions humanity makes will be based on the parameters of the situation. The key thing we should strive for is communication and eventual cooperation with extraterrestrial life. It will be extraordinarily difficult for us to reach the point where we can do this, as we still have trouble accepting people of the same species who look slightly different than we do or have slightly different belief systems. Hopefully, we are still millennia from coming face-to-face with aliens, because I do not believe we as a race are mature enough to successfully interact with them. It would be a shame if we became the alien monstersfor another civilization.

Saturn’s moon Enceladus has been the talk of the astronomy community for quite some time. The cratered surface indicates a pummeling of asteroids and other space dust over time, which tells scientists there definitely isn’t an atmosphere protecting it. But, the wrinkles and large wisps that seem to paint brushstrokes on the surface — as viewed in this new photo taken by NASA’s Cassini probe — are illustrative of something much more compelling.
According to NASA, these wrinkles were most likely formed by geyser-like eruptions in the moon’s south pole. When the plumes spew, they smooth over and erase any craters. This feeds the notion that Enceladus does indeed have ice, but also the idea that just below the surface there may be a warmer, wetter world that we only get a glimpse of when the geysers explode.
If this is true, the moon may be harboring extraterrestrial life species just under its crust. Of course, there is no telling how cold the underworld may be, especially because the surface is around negative 300 degrees Fahrenheit, but the hot geysers may make it a little more habitable down there.
Does this icy moon really contain life beneath its surface?
Other data suggests that the geysers are spitting out more than just water, including propane and methane. All of these clues have gotten scientists particularly excited about getting a closer look at Enceladus.
“We just need to fly there and collect samples,” Carolyn Porco, a leader of the imaging science team for the Cassini mission, told Inverse back in April 2016. “All we have to do is build something that will go there and pick some stuff up.”
Unfortunately, though, there is currently no mission in place to send a spacecraft to Enceladus to collect samples. But, scientists are remaining hopeful that in the near future, we will finally prove that we are not the only living creatures in the universe.

A Washington witness at Sequim reported a possible UFO incident from 1994 when a “large, green orb” paced the vehicle he was riding in, according to testimony in Case 81184 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness and two friends were leaving Sequim and were headed toward the Strait of Juan de Fuca on January 15, 1994, when the incident occurred.
The witness was a passenger in a vehicle who first noticed the sphere.

“I was in the passenger seat of an early 80s white Ford pickup that had a canopy,” the witness stated.“We were driving alongside GraysmarshBerry Farms when I realized that I was gazing out the window at a green ball of light. It was pacing us perfectly, and was about 30 -40 feet from us at about 25-30 feet off the ground. It was about 4 feet in diameter in my opinion. I am a carpenter by trade.”
The witness said it was like staring at a green moon, and gave out its own light, but was not hard to look at.
“At some point I turned around and started looking around the vehicle for a green light that might be reflecting off the inside of the window. As if prompted by me looking away, the object moved out in front of us into the other witnesses’ view. They apparently couldn’t see it at the height it was at outside my window.”
The object was about 30 to 40 feet away and 25 to 30 feet off the ground. Pictured: Sequim, WA.

The other passengers reacted.
“My buddy who was driving yelled, ‘What the Hell is that?’ As I turned around to look, the object had advanced out in front of the truck, but still over the farm property. The large orb was on the other side of some wind break trees that bordered the road, but our view was unobstructed due to no leaves on the trees.”
The driver sped up to catch up with the object, but as he increased his speed, the object did as well.
“We were rapidly approaching the end of the road, where it turned at a 90 and paralleled the Strait. In the next moment, the object took off at a speed – so great it left a line in the sky that was still visible even after we had screeched to a stop at the water. We got out of the truck and just stared as the line slowly disappeared.”
The incident changed how the witness thought.
“We never talked about it after that night. It’s funny now, because when I hear people talk about there being life ‘out there,’ I now have no doubts. One thing I left out is at some point I had rolled down the window to see better once the object had moved out in front of us, and I remember hearing nothing but the truck. Whatever the object was doing, it had to have an ‘intelligence’ behind it. To pace us so perfectly for so long, I will never forget it. I have never written about this experience until now, but remember it as if it were yesterday.”
The object eventually took off at great speed. Pictured: Sequim, WA.

Sequim is a city in Clallam County, Washington, population 6,606. Washington MUFON Assistant State Director Aleta DeBee investigated this case and closed it as Information Only. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
We recently covered a California witness at Rancho Santa Margarita who recalled a UFO encounter from 1999 when a ball of light about the size of a beach ball appeared in front of his vehicle, according to testimony in Case 82195.
The witness says it was a clear and sunny day, in broad daylight, on a very familiar road, while driving his car with friends about 2:30 p.m. on July 10, 1999, when the incident began.
“What I can only describe as some kind of a ‘ball’ of light about the size of a large beach ball appeared, very suddenly, out of nowhere, directly in front of my car,” the witness stated. “In a bit of a panic, I asked my friends if they saw it too and they all definitely did.”
MUFON has several historical cases in their witness database with accounts of objects moving along with vehicles. In particular, three Arizona accounts include fascinating testimony in cases closed as Unknowns. These are Case 27685, May 19, 2010, Congress, AZ; Case 29547, June 10, 2011, near Kingman, AZ; and Case 29703, June 24, 2011, Flagstaff, AZ.
Former Police Officer Says Triangle UFO Cannot Be Explained
Former Police Officer Says Triangle UFO Cannot Be Explained
Symbolic picture
A strange triangle craft left a police officer turned UFO investigator baffled. Fletcher Gray, who is now busy spearheading the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) – Houston branch, could not discount the idea that the UFO was alien in origin.
There has been an increase in sightings of triangle UFOs across the states.
MUFON-Houston receives around 80 alleged UFO sightings in a year, but according to Mr. Gray, most can be explained.
However, in 2015, he investigated a triangle UFO sighting in Dayton Hill that he could not talk away. He additionally felt it could have been extraterrestrial.
He explained that the Universe is so vast, making the idea of life to exist somewhere other than Earth possible.
Mr. Gray said that the witness had told him the triangular UFO in question was spotted over the Highway 1960 near Dayton, Houston.
The witness reportedly said the UFO, which defied gravity, hovered before it disappeared.
Mr. Gray stated that based on his 27 years of experience, he knew right then that the witness was not lying.
Mr. Gray explained that the UFO could have been seeking out and learning planet Earth.
The U.S.-based MUFON receives hundreds of similar reports each year around the globe, with numbers appearing on the rise.
The most famous UFO sighting of the same triangular shape happened on March 13, 1997, over Arizona.
Triangle UFO filmed over Clinton, Oklahoma – March 2017
Triangle UFO filmed over Clinton, Oklahoma – March 2017
Here’s one interesting footage of a triangular-shaped craft that was flying in the sky above US state Oklahoma. This was filmed earlier in March 2017.
Witness report:
I was going home from OKC with my family, when I spotted this. It had been hovering for about a few seconds (from when I seen it), til I started recording. There’s an airbase near by, but it wasn’t for a few miles, and there’s no landing strip in that area.
The images of Saturn's moon, Pan, were taken on March 7.
(CNN)NASA on Thursday released pictures of Pan, one of Saturn's many moons, and its distinctive shape is drawing comparisons to flying saucers and stuffed pasta.
The images of the moon come courtesy of NASA's Cassini spacecraft, and reveal the UFO-like form of the tiny satellite, which has an average radius of just 8.8 miles.
Cassini's Twitter account tweeted a gif showing the raw images.
Twitter users quickly chimed in. "Should or could be called Wonton or Ravioli but that's amazing!!!" one wrote. "Sign me up! Ravioli is one of my favorite foods," said another.
One artist even took the time to make a little comic.
According to NASA's website, Pan's strange shape comes from what is called an equatorial ridge, a characteristic it shares with one of its sister moons, Atlas.
The ridge has formed over the course of Pan's history because it orbits Saturn inside the planet's rings, collecting stray particles as it goes, said Preston Dyches, a spokesman for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Pan is Saturn's closest moon, and orbits the planet in just 13.8 hours.
Earlier this year, Cassini sent back images of Tethys, another Saturn moon that has a striking resemblance to the Death Star from "Star Wars."
Cassini is a joint effort between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian space agency, Agenzia Spaziale Italiana. It was originally launched in June 2008 on a mission to explore the Saturn System.

In September, Cassini's mission will come to an end when it hurtles towards Saturn's surface for what NASA is calling the "Grand Finale." On its way down, the spacecraft will collect information and data such as the strength of Saturn's gravity as well as more pictures of the planet's rings.
But for now, it will continue to beam back stunning images of Saturn and space ravioli.
Zo nu en dan spotten astronomen snelle radioflitsen (zogenoemde Fast Radio Bursts, FRB’s), waarvan de oorsprong tot op heden onbekend is. Deze pulsen hebben een lengte van een paar milliseconden en worden niet herhaald. Onderzoekers beweren in een nieuw paper dat deze flitsen een aanwijzing kunnen zijn waar aliens zich bevinden.
Deze snelle radioflitsen zouden wel eens gegenereerd kunnen worden door radiozenders, die interstellaire ruimteschepen van geavanceerde buitenaardse beschavingen voortstuwen.
“Deze snelle radioflitsen zijn – gezien hun korte duur – opvallend helder”, zegt wetenschapper Avi Loeb van het Harvard-Smithsonian Centrum voor Astrofysica. “We weten nog niet met zekerheid wat de bron is van deze flitsen. Daarom moeten we rekening houden met alternatieve scenario’s.” Loeb sluit aliens dus niet uit.
ANDERE THEORIEËN
Hoe de radioflitsen precies ontstaan, blijft giswerk. Er zijn verschillende theorieën. Wellicht zijn ze afkomstig van het ineengestorte overblijfsel van een zware ster. Een andere optie is dat ze gegenereerd worden in de nabijheid van een zwart gat dat gas uit zijn omgeving opslokt. Meer onderzoek zal uit moeten wijzen hoe de FRB’s precies ontstaan.
Epidemie van leven Loeb verdiept zich al een tijd in de verspreiding van leven in het heelal. “Leven kan zich verspreiden van de ene ster naar de andere, zoals een epidemie zich verspreidt,” vertelde Loeb in 2015 naar aanleiding van een onderzoek. “De Melkweg zou in dat geval geïnfecteerd worden met leven.”
Gigantisch apparaat In een paper dat binnenkort in het wetenschappelijke vakblad Astrophysical Journal Letters verschijnt filosoferen Loeb en zijn collega Manasvi Lingam (Harvard universiteit) over het apparaat dat een FRB kan produceren. Ze beweren dat als een grote radiozender wordt aangedreven door zonlicht – en dit zonlicht op een oppervlak dat twee keer zo groot is als de aarde valt – dat er dan voldoende energie gegenereerd wordt om een FRB te produceren. Wel moet de radiozender dan wel gekoeld worden door een apparaat dat ook twee keer zo groot is als de aarde.
De mensheid is technisch gezien nog niet ver genoeg ontwikkeld om zo’n radiozender te bouwen, maar geavanceerde buitenaardse beschavingen mogelijk wel.
“HET IS DE MOEITE WAARD OM THEORIEËN TE BEDENKEN EN VERVOLGENS OP BASIS VAN DATA TE ONDERZOEKEN WELKE THEORIE HET MEEST PLAUSIBEL IS”
Voortstuwende straal Het nut hiervan? Wanneer een radiozender zo’n straal produceert, kan deze straal gebruikt worden om interstellaire ruimteschepen vooruit de duwen. De straal moet dan wel continu gericht zijn op zo’n ruimteschip, maar dan is het mogelijk om in dit ruimtevaartuig naar andere sterren of andere sterrenstelsels te reizen. Zo’n ruimteschip kan twintig keer zo zwaar zijn als het grootste cruiseschip op aarde.
Korte flits De straal is waarschijnlijk 24/7 actief, maar op aarde zien we maar een korte tijd een flits. Dit komt omdat het ruimtezeil, de planeet, de ster en het sterrenstelsel in beweging zijn ten opzichte van onze planeet. De straal is dus maar heel kort op ons gericht en schijnt dan weer in een andere richting, waardoor wij niks meer zien. Het kan zijn dat de straal op een later tijdstip weer te zien is, wat een sterke aanwijzing is dat deze theorie klopt.
Speculatief Loeb geeft toe dat het een beetje speculatief is, maar beweert dat het goed is om nieuwe ideeën te opperen. “Wetenschap draait om bewijzen. Het is de moeite waard om theorieën te bedenken en vervolgens op basis van data te onderzoeken welke theorie het meest plausibel is.”

Is er een vliegende schotel bij Saturnus gespot?
Is er een vliegende schotel bij Saturnus gespot?
Tim Kraaijvanger
Het kleine maantje Pan heeft wel iets weg van een vliegende schotel uit oude sciencefictionfilms. Pan is slechts 28 kilometer groot, maar slaagt er toch mooi in om een gat in de ringen van Saturnus te maken.
De foto bovenaan dit artikel is op een afstand van 24.572 kilometer van Pan gemaakt door de Cassini-ruimtesonde. Niet eerder is het maantje zo goed in beeld gebracht. Links en rechts zijn de ringen van Saturnus te zien.
De meeste herdermanen hebben een flinke richel. Manen als Pan en Atlas houden de randen van de ringen ‘scherp’ door deeltjes op te vegen of terug in de ring te dwingen.
Pan wordt gezien als een van de meest bijzondere manen in ons zonnestelsel. In deze lijst zien we ook andere exotische objecten, zoals de maan Miranda van Uranus. Deze maan is slechts 500 kilometer breed, maar heeft gigantische valleien die twaalf keer dieper zijn dan de Grand Canyon. Mimas van Saturnus lijkt op de Death Star uit Star Wars, terwijl Io (Jupiter) iets weg heeft van pizza.
De Cassini-ruimtesonde nadert zijn einde en plonst in september in de atmosfeer van Saturnus. Volgende maand begint de laatste fase. Dankzij een scheervlucht langs de grote maan Titan wordt de baan van de ruimtesonde afgebogen, waarna het ruimtevaartuig door het gat tussen Saturnus en de ringen vliegt. Deze ruimte is slechts 2.400 kilometer breed. In totaal voert Cassini deze manoeuvre 22 keer uit. Spannend! Ongetwijfeld levert dit schitterende foto’s op.
Private space exploration company Blue Origin has revealed the first of six engines that will power its forthcoming New Glenn rocket.
Between the efforts of private companies and those of government organizations, humanity is in the midst of an exciting new era in space flight.
AN ENGINE 6 YEARS IN THE MAKING
SpaceX’s well-known competitor in the private space industry, Blue Origin, is making strides in its effort to have private citizens breach the final frontier. While SpaceX prepares for its 2018 lunar mission, Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos is confident his company will be able to send two astronauts to space by the end of 2017, with commercial flights following in 2018. He certainly does have a few good reasons for this confidence. In fact, soon, he’ll have six.
After six long years of development, Blue Origin has finally unveiled one of its BE-4 rocket engines. The engine is expected to be used with five others just like it in structure and function to power the upcoming New Glenn rocket. Blue Origin has plans for two versions of these rockets, a 2-stage version and a 3-stage version. The New Glenn is expected to be 7 meters (23 feet) in diameter and range in length from 82 meters (270 feet) to 95 meters (313 feet).
A NEW FLIGHT PLAN
So where do the BE-4 engines come in? The first and second stages of the rocket will have boosters made up of the BE-4 engines, while the third stage will incorporate an older BE-3 engine.
The New Glenn is similar to its predecessor, the New Shepard, in that it will be a reusable space vehicle with a first stage that can return to the launch site standing upright after each flight. This style of rocket will save companies a huge sum of money on flights. A distinction between the New Glenn and the New Shepard is that the former will be equipped with enough power to carry heavy cargo payloads and astronauts into orbit around the Earth.
While the New Glenn has yet to be made, Blue Origin expects that it will be used to transport goods and people in space by the end of the decade. In the meantime, the BE-4 engine will undergo certification at Blue Origin’s West Texas-based site.
Between the initiatives of private companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX and the missions of governments like the U.S. and China, humanity is launching into a new era of space flight. The BE-4 engines are one more step forward on that epic journey.
Blue Origin’s future New Glenn rocket, compared to other industry vehicles.
The origin of fast radio bursts sweeping across outer space have puzzled scientists for years, but some scientists are examining the possibility that these millisecond-long radio emission flashes come from advanced alien technology in extragalactic civilizations. FRBs have traits that match up with artificial radio waves, and that might not be a coincidence.
In the paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Harvard researchers describe what a transmission device that emits FRBs may look like. Since 2007, fewer than two dozen FRB’s have been detected by large radio telescopes like the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.
Theorist Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics is working on the Breakthrough Starshot project, which would send a lightweight spacecraft powered by light. This inspired him to study whether an alien civilization may use similar technologies that transmit FRBs by launching a light sail at the speed of light.
“We are trying to push a very lightweight spacecraft that weighs a gram or so,” Loeb tells Inverse. “A much more advanced civilization might very well develop a technology that can launch much heavier payloads. It’s the same principle. You attach the payload to the sail and you push the sail with light.”
The FRB parameters were consistent with this idea, lending credence to the possibility that FRBs may be artificial in origin.
“Naturally, we were very surprised and excited to discover that an artificial origin for FRBs was compatible with the known data,” coauthor Manasvi Lingam of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics tells Inverse.
Researchers speculate that FRBs might be leakage from planet-sized transmitters that power interstellar probes. This beamer must be of a size comparable to Earth, and the required power is the amount of sunlight a planet twice the size of Earth receives. This can generate enough power to push 20 large cruise ships.
From an engineering perspective, it’s possible for this device to withstand the heat with a water-cooled device twice the size of Earth. The speculated transmission device would need to focus a beam on a light sail continuously to power it.
“We found that the amount of power that you need is similar to the amount of sunlight intercepted by Earth,” Loeb says. “If you can imagine harvesting the starlight and using it for the purpose of propelling a light sail, it could work.”
Scientists suspect FRBs are artificial partly because of their brightness. The signals exhibit a brightness temperature of 10^37 degrees. To achieve such a high brightness at room temperature, electrons must move coherently, which is what happens in a radio antenna when an alternating electric field is applied to a wire.
No known object in space generates radio bursts at such high brightness. In addition, FRBs repeat in an irregular fashion and are concentrated around a particular radio frequency that’s different from natural sources in space. For example, pulsars operate based on coherent emission, but their emission is much weaker than FRBs.
“It cannot be associated with a cataclysmic event like the collapse of a star,” Loeb says. “Therefore it’s worth entertaining the possibility that it’s artificial.”
This research may lead to a more in-depth SETI-based study of the sources of FRBs through the Breakthrough Listen project. Right now there’s no good explanation for the origin of FRBs, but scientists can continue finding more clues. Previously, Loeb proposed a way for citizen scientists to detect FRBs using cell phones, which can give scientists clues for where they come from.
“We plan to look at other ways by which the signatures of advanced civilizations may be detectable by humans,” Lingam says. “Most of them are connected to how civilizations can tap energy sources for undertaking large-scale engineering projects.”
Although this hypothesis for the origin of FRBs is speculative, Loeb says he would have no problem accepting an alternative explanation if evidence shows otherwise.
“The exciting aspect of doing science is that one rules out possibilities with better data,” Loeb says. “The history of science shows that it would be unwise to rule out possibilities just based on prejudice. This often leads to stagnation rather than progress.”
Abstract: We examine the possibility that Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) originate from the activity of extragalactic civilizations. Our analysis shows that beams used for powering large light sails could yield parameters that are consistent with FRBs. The characteristic diameter of the beam emitter is estimated through a combination of energetic and engineering constraints, and both approaches intriguingly yield a similar result which is on the scale of a large rocky planet. Moreover, the optimal frequency for powering the light sail is shown to be similar to the detected FRB frequencies. These `coincidences’ lend some credence to the possibility that FRBs might be artificial in origin. Other relevant quantities, such as the characteristic mass of the light sail, and the angular velocity of the beam, are also derived. By using the FRB occurrence rate, we infer upper bounds on the rate of FRBs from extragalactic civilizations in a typical galaxy. The possibility of detecting fainter signals is briefly discussed, and the wait time for an exceptionally bright FRB event in the Milky Way is estimated.
Strange occurrences in Roswell, NM, June 1947 may have set into motion events which would shape the future of humanity, in ways unbeknownst to many. Reports of crashed alien vessels were quickly swept aside, which spurred the imaginations of seekers everywhere vying to know what really happened. But it was the insiders, who eventually came forward, who gave us a glimpse into the shadowy side of the U.S. Government and collaborating corporations. In this special introductory overview episode of Truth Hunter, Linda Moulton Howe exposes deeper details of UFO crashes in the 1940s, the technologies which were recovered and the resultant government policies which instituted programs of secrecy and denial.
UFOs were reported flying near the McGuire Air Force Base and nearby Fort Dix Base in Trenton, New Jersey, before state Police requested entry to investigate.
But the events which allegedly then unfolded go way beyond the traditional UFO sighting.
It is claimed a military police officer based at Fort Dix reported seeing "a low-flying object pass over his car" as he drove.
After braking, he claimed to see in front of his car "a small being with a large head, black eyes, and a very slender body".
He claims he panicked, got out of the car and pulled out a .45 automatic gun, before demanding the being lay on the floor.
But, after his request was ignored, he fired a number of shots.
The wounded creature is alleged to have jumped a fence into the McGuire base before heading down a runway.
But, according to the case, it then collapsed dead.
Sgt Jeff Morse is listed as a witness who allowed police access to the scene.
But it is alleged that this was a pseudonym he was given to avoid his true identity getting out.
According to omni.media, police found: "The body, crouched in a fetal position, not breathing.
"It was indeed dead. Shocked, but keeping with protocol, they began to rope off the area.
GETTY
The case of the alleged alien shooting has never been fully explained or debunked.
While on patrol, Morse watched the Blue Beret specialists spray the corpse from a portable tank and cover it with a white sheet.
Leonard Springfield
He said he was told that after this, a C-141 cargo aircraft landed on site, the being was loaded on board, and it has been suspected that it took off towards Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
Conspiracy theorists claim this is the same base where alien bodies from the alleged 1947 Roswell UFO crash were secretly taken.
The claim is that Mr Morse and the police officer were separated and warned never to speak of the incident again or risk losing their jobs.
According to UFO researchers Mr Morse and other witnesses had to later go to Wright Patterson where they were interrogated.
Mr Morse said years later: “They told me about my duty to keep my mouth shut... I signed a form and it is supposed to bind me for life.”
He is said to have claimed he has been "reminded" never to speak of the event.
UFO site omni.media has revisited the case.
In an article it asked: "So did a panicked, trigger-happy MP actually shoot and kill an alien that night?
"The truth may never be known. The lid on this and so many other apparent incidents of this ilk have been so tightly wound shut, that those involved fear the worst for their jobs, and perhaps even their lives.
"But if this case of an alien termination is true, then we have more to fear than just military threats.
"We have an alien race expecting one of their own to eventually come home. They just probably weren't expecting it to be in a body bag."
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual has his doubts about the case.
He told Express.co.uk: "There are numerous stories of alien spaceship and alien entity retrievals, like this one it is hard to pin down the facts.
"In this instance, Jeff Morse is the prime source of this story and there is not much evidence to back-up his claims except a few rumours.
"When Roger Pibson, a special investigator for the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS), looked into the case in 2002 he contacted numerous McGuire AFB officials who denied any event of this nature occurring at the base.
"Believers would say 'they would say that' as part of the cover-up. More damning is the original report by Morse, which is claimed to contain many errors suggesting it was a hoax, nonetheless Morse stuck to his story and seemed convincing to those who met him.
"We might also wonder why the base did not go into full alert, in fear that the ETs would mount an attack in response to the shooting of their comrade.
"Instead, the story just sounds like a fantasy that piggy backed on the renewed interest in the 1947 Roswell case."

Could Fast Radio Bursts Be Powering Alien Probes?
Could Fast Radio Bursts Be Powering Alien Probes?

Cambridge, MA-
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence has looked for many different signs of alien life, from radio broadcasts to laser flashes, without success. However, newly published research suggests that mysterious phenomena called fast radio bursts could be evidence of advanced alien technology. Specifically, these bursts might be leakage from planet-sized transmitters powering interstellar probes in distant galaxies.
"Fast radio bursts are exceedingly bright given their short duration and origin at great distances, and we haven't identified a possible natural source with any confidence," said theorist Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "An artificial origin is worth contemplating and checking."
As the name implies, fast radio bursts are millisecond-long flashes of radio emission. First discovered in 2007, fewer than two dozen have been detected by gigantic radio telescopes like the Parkes Observatory in Australia or the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. They are inferred to originate from distant galaxies, billions of light-years away.
Loeb and his co-author Manasvi Lingam (Harvard University) examined the feasibility of creating a radio transmitter strong enough for it to be detectable across such immense distances. They found that, if the transmitter were solar powered, the sunlight falling on an area of a planet twice the size of the Earth would be enough to generate the needed energy. Such a vast construction project is well beyond our technology, but within the realm of possibility according to the laws of physics.
Lingam and Loeb also considered whether such a transmitter would be viable from an engineering perspective, or whether the tremendous energies involved would melt any underlying structure. Again, they found that a water-cooled device twice the size of Earth could withstand the heat.
They then asked, why build such an instrument in the first place? They argue that the most plausible use of such power is driving interstellar light sails. The amount of power involved would be sufficient to push a payload of a million tons, or about 20 times the largest cruise ships on Earth.
"That's big enough to carry living passengers across interstellar or even intergalactic distances," added Lingam.
To power a light sail, the transmitter would need to focus a beam on it continuously. Observers on Earth would see a brief flash because the sail and its host planet, star and galaxy are all moving relative to us. As a result, the beam sweeps across the sky and only points in our direction for a moment. Repeated appearances of the beam, which were observed but cannot be explained by cataclysmic astrophysical events, might provide important clues about its artificial origin.
Loeb admits that this work is speculative. When asked whether he really believes that any fast radio bursts are due to aliens, he replied, "Science isn't a matter of belief, it's a matter of evidence. Deciding what’s likely ahead of time limits the possibilities. It's worth putting ideas out there and letting the data be the judge.”
The paper reporting this work has been accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters and is available online.

Harvard-studie: “Snelle radioflitsen drijven mogelijk buitenaardse ruimteschepen aan”
Harvard-studie: “Snelle radioflitsen drijven mogelijk buitenaardse ruimteschepen aan”
Snelle radioflitsen stellen astronomen al lange tijd voor een raadsel. Afgelopen jaar werden 16 van deze flitsen waargenomen, maar niemand weet waar ze precies vandaan komen.
Een wetenschapper van het Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics denkt dat de radioflitsen worden voortgebracht door een buitenaardse intelligentie.
Theoretisch natuurkundige Avi Loeb bestudeerde de radioflitsen en kwam tot de conclusie dat ze mogelijk motoren van buitenaardse ruimteschepen aandrijven.
Geen overtuigende verklaring
“We hebben nog geen overtuigende natuurlijke verklaring voor dit fenomeen,” aldus Loeb. “Het is de moeite waard te onderzoeken of ze een kunstmatige oorsprong hebben.”
De radiosignalen worden mogelijk door aliens gebruikt voor zonnezeilen, ruimtevaartuigen die worden aangedreven door zonne-energie.
“De uitbarstingen die we tot nu toe hebben waargenomen, zouden van een dergelijk systeem afkomstig kunnen zijn,” stelt Loeb in Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Hele planeet
Zo’n systeem zou net zo groot als een hele planeet moeten zijn, schatten Loeb en zijn collega Manasvi Lingam van de Harvard-universiteit.
Het systeem kan volgens hen een massa van een miljoen ton voortstuwen, ongeveer 20 keer de grootste cruiseschepen op aarde.
“Dat is genoeg om levende passagiers te verplaatsen over interstellaire of zelfs intergalactische afstanden,” voegde Lingam toe.
Verre sterrenstelsels
Snelle radioflitsen bestaan uit radiostraling en duren slechts enkele milliseconden. Ze werden in 2007 voor het eerst ontdekt.
Ze lijken uit verre sterrenstelsels te komen die zich op miljarden lichtjaren afstand bevinden.
Wetenschappers zeggen dat deze kristallen op een dag kunnen worden gebruikt voor veilige kwantumcomputers.
Tijd
Hoewel atomen in kristallen zoals een ijskristal of diamant in een steeds terugkerend patroon in de ruimte geordend zijn, herhaalt het patroon achter tijdkristallen zich in de tijd.
Het gedrag van de kristallen druist in tegen de verwachtingen, aldus onderzoekers van de Universiteit van Maryland en de Universiteit van Californië – Berkeley.
De onderzoekersresultaten zijn gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Nature.
Voortdurend
De vreemde tijdkristallen bestaan uit atomen die voortdurend in beweging zijn zonder daarbij energie te verliezen.
Natuurkundige Frank Wilczek speculeerde in 2012 als eerste over het bestaan van tijdkristallen. Hij dacht dat het mogelijk moest zijn om een kristalstructuur te creëren in de tijddimensie.
Niets
Veel wetenschappers waren hier sceptisch over. Een tijdkristal waarvan de atomen eeuwig in beweging zijn, zonder extra benodigde energie, staat gelijk aan een perpetuum mobile, stelden ze.
Een perpetuum mobile is een denkbeeldig apparaat dat in staat wordt geacht energie uit het niets op te wekken.
Nu blijken tijdkristallen dan toch te kunnen bestaan.
Dark Knight Satellite Found On Space Station Live Camera, March 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Dark Knight Satellite Found On Space Station Live Camera, March 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: March 2017
Location of sighting: Space Station live cam
This UFO was caught by Streetcap1 of Youtube yesterday. Its very dark and has a lot of detail to it. Its darkness and shape makes it a possibility that this may be a Dark Knight satellite. Dark Knight is an ancient astronaut satellite system placed in Earths orbit thousands of years ago to safeguard their (aliens) planet claim. Claim by whom? Probably the alien species on Planet X, also known as Nibiru. A mysterious planet that NASA says does exist, but has a 10k-15k year orbit around Earth.
This Day In UFO History, March 10, 1993, The Maslin Beach Incident, Australia, UFO Sighting News.
This Day In UFO History, March 10, 1993, The Maslin Beach Incident, Australia, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: March 10, 1993 Location of sighting: Maslin Beach, Australia Here is a historic sighting from 1993, and in it something unusual happens, he doesn't talk about it until after the photos were made. This is not unusual because UFOs have mind manipulation devices that cause the eyewitness to feel calm during the event and also to not be concerned enough after the event to talk about it for at least several days. Scott C. Waring
The 1993 Maslin Beach photograph case At the point when Eric Thomason in Maslin Beach, Australia, watched out over the sea, he saw - to his extraordinary amazement - a UFO ascended from the waves and began flying towards him. At the point when the object came closer, Eric took out his camera and began taking photos. - "I could feel water dribbling from the craft", he tells UFO-Aktuellt. By Clas Svahn Interpretation by Stefan Isaksson The photos are very hair-raising, and there are truly only two options: either Eric Thomason's photos are the most amazing up until now, or it's only a basic trick. Eric Thomason, 69, is a senior national living in Maslin Beach in southern Australia. Not a long way from his home is an old deserted mine, Maslin Old Quarry, where he now and again takes his puppy for a walk. In March 1993, Eric chose to attempt to report the old mine utilizing his child's camera, a Kodak S50 with a Fuji 100 ASA-film. Regardless of having never claimed his very own camera and having for all intents and purposes no encountering shooting, Eric set off with a specific end goal to attempt to catch the excellent shades of the open-give mine from a role as many edges as could be expected under the circumstances. Furthermore, s photograph challenge in the magazine "Southern Times-Messenger" about the best picture of a dawn over land additionally helped him in his choice. He thought he would have the capacity to catch the dawn on film from Ochre Point, a precipice 60 meters high from where hang-lightweight flyers used to take off - yet the sun was taken cover behind a thick layer of mists. The Sun was Hidden Wednesday, March 10, didn't give off an impression of being vastly improved. It was a cool morning, just 14 degrees Celsius, and a resolved twist originated from the west. From the highest point of the green precipice, Eric was compelled to acknowledge that there would not have been a dawn that morning either. An industrious layer of mists shut out the sun, and the time was 06:00 AM when Eric rather swung to confront the sea toward the west. - "It was then that I saw a development at first glance on the water, and something resembling the tower on a nuclear submarine rose, Eric tells UFO-Sweden. At the point when the question ascended from the water I could perceive how three legs were calling attention to from the body. I was likewise ready to perceive how it was turning, and how the three legs were pulled in." Prior to the legs being pulled in, Eric figured out how to take his first photo of the UFO, and he assesses the separated section to be around 400 meters away. It then occurred to him how uncovered his position was. Remaining on top of the Ochre Point with the sun directly behind him made him an easy target to spot for a the UFOs. - "I had known about individuals being taken by UFOs, so I moved down a slant adjacent area. From that point I could perceive how the light-dark question came flying to some degree south of me, and stopped over the mine. At that exact second I spotted yet another object, north of the first. That is the point at which I snapped my second picture, yet since the light from the dawn was straight into my view- I moved a little to one side." While taking photos from his spot five meters underneath the highest point of the bluff, the smaller UFO moved towards the bigger one, stopped, and afterward proceeded upwards, into the bigger craft. - "I could see three lights on the outside of the bigger question and how it shone around the opening. Not long after I'd taken the fourth and last photo the bigger question climbed straight up and vanished over me. At the point when that happened, I could feel dilute dribbling from the specialty on me." In a report frame to the Australian UFO-bunch Australian Flying Saucer Research Society, Eric gauges the span of the question be 40 meters, and the separation (when he first observed it ascend from the sea) to be 2 kilometers. While conversing with him on the telephone, Eric discloses to me how it never got nearer to him than 400 meters. At the point when the occurrence was over, Eric returned home. Nonetheless, regardless of his astounding experience he chose to stay close-lipped regarding it, even to his better half. He initially needed to have the film created keeping in mind the end goal to see whether there in fact were any photos of it. Be that as it may, he was not in a rush. Before he turned in the film for improvement he made a point to go through the whole film. Also, not until May, 1994, when he had viewed a UFO appear on TV, did he present the photos. - "At first he didn't disclose to me anything since I wasn't feeling great at the time, and later he trusted that the photos wouldn't indicate anything", Mrs. Thomason says when UFO-Sweden converses with her. "In any case, after he had the film created he revealed them to me. I'm sure it's a spaceship. Eric is not the lying sort, and I trust him." Snappy Stroll Still, there are a few subtle elements in his story that merit contemplating. Eric Thomason set his wake up timer to 05:45 keeping in mind the end goal to get the dawn, which occurred around 06:00. Amid these 15 minutes, Mr. Thomason had sufficient energy to get up, put on a few layers of warm dress, bring his camera, get the puppy at the back of the house, stroll to Ochre Point (which as indicated by Mrs. Thomason takes 5 minutes), climb the 60 meters tall bluff, sit tight for the fizzled dawn, and after that stroll on to another site close by with a specific end goal to watch out over the sea. At 06:00 sharp he took his first photo of the protest. The brilliant blue sky on the main photo proposes the pictures were taken later in the day. In a letter, Eric portrays what happened when the photos came back from the photograph lab: "When the film had been created I saw yet another object on the main photo, which I hadn't seen amid the episode itself. A dark spot out there, somewhere between the question and the edge of the photo, which may have been a plane a few kilometers away, or a littler UFO on its approach to meet with the bigger one." Shoddy Camera As indicated by Eric, the negatives were broke down by Kodak in Adelaide, however he doesn't know anything about the outcomes. - The negatives were sent in by Mark Tarrot, a UFOlogist. He realizes what the outcomes were. The camera Eric utilized was a modest Kodak S50, obtained in a retail chain for 40 USD. The S50 utilizes ordinary 35 mm film, and has never been accessible on the Swedish market. Its concentration is set, and can't be changed. There are, all in all, no catches to push aside from the shade discharge. Cameras of this sort are constantly determined to boundlessness, and have an expansive profundity of field. What's more, here's the place a vulnerability gets to be distinctly clear. On the off chance that you take a gander at the primary photo the protest, which as far as anyone knows is 400 meters away, is in center while the skyline is fluffy. Indeed, both the protest and the skyline ought to be in core interest. That aside, the pictures concur with Eric's story, and amid our whole discussion he answers every one of my inquiries right, notwithstanding when I attempt to trap him. Mr. Thomason's photos have brought on a great deal of consideration around the world, and have even wound up in an American UFO chronological registry. - "There have been such a large number of individuals calling, that I'm presently beginning to become ill of it", Eric says while specifying how he is extremely basic to other UFO photos. "In any case, I've started searching for them in the nighttimes while out strolling the canine. I know there are UFOs from various planets in the universe. Yet, so far I've just observed shooting stars." At long last I ask Erik Thomason the most vital question of them all: Are the photos truly certified? Do they truly delineate the protest you said rose up out of the sea? - "Yes, completely, he says quickly and includes, OK?"
Over the last couple of centuries, many individuals have claimed to visit other planets through astral projection or through secret, possibly alien, technology. Since the 1970s, most alien stories have been about small gray men abducting humans but usually staying on Earth, which seems a pity. Here are 10 examples of people who claimed to explore other worlds.
10. The Denton Family
Hand Holding Gold Nugget
Nineteenth-century Englishman William Denton claimed that the power of psychometry (divining facts about an object or its owner through physical contact) allowed members of his family to visit the various planets of the solar system. His first psychometric experiments involved the use of geological samples to view images of the Earth’s distant past. His wife, Elizabeth, reportedly saw a vision of a giant prehistoric insect after touching a piece of quartz. His sister, Anne Cridge, envisioned an eruption into the sea after touching a fragment of volcanic lava. The family would later turn their psychometric powers to the heavens. Denton’s son, Sherman, reportedly visited Venus and described giant trees shaped like mushrooms filled with sweet jelly and a creature resembling a cross between a fish and a muskrat.
He visited Mars, peopled by a race with four fingers, yellow hair, and wide, blue eyes who flitted around in aluminum flying machines. Mrs. Cridge and Mrs. Denton also visited Mars and described their art, culture, and religion in detail. Jupiter, meanwhile, was also peopled by blue-eyed blondes, but these people could float in the air, and their women wore braids down to their waists.
9. Emanuel Swedenborg
The Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg believed the universe was filled with other planets inhabited by humans (though spiritual beings). He claimed to have been guided by God and an angel through spiritual tours of Heaven, Hell, and the cosmos. Through the Lord, he was able to commune with spirits, not just of this world but also of others. Swedenborg’s voyage through the solar system was a spiritual journey, but he came back armed with knowledge of our neighbors. Men of the Moon were described as dwarfs about the size of a seven-year-old boy, though stouter in stature and with thunderous voices. Mercurians resembled Earthlings and wore tight clothing. They were also hungry for knowledge, able to read memories from approaching individuals, and counted Aristotle as one of their population. The inhabitants of Venus were divided into two groups, one peaceful and gentle, the other fierce thieves.
Martians resembled humans of various hues without facial hair, lived in perfect communes (wrong thinkers being exiled), wore clothes made from tree bark, and were apparently the best people in the universe. The inhabitants of Jupiter were upright, soft-spoken, happy, and family-oriented people with an obsession with washing their faces and a tendency to walk on their hands. Finally, Saturnians were restrained, humble people with low self-esteem. They had little interest in food and clothing. Rather than burying their dead, they would cover them with leaves. Swedenborg never got around to visiting the other planets of the solar system through the angels, perhaps because they hadn’t been discovered yet by other Earthlings.
8. Howard Menger
UFO contactee and alleged reincarnated Saturnian Howard Menger claimed to have been taken on joyrides through the solar system on a flying saucer. His interaction with aliens began at the age of 10 when a mysterious woman in the forest told him he was chosen and destined for great things. He had intermittent contact during his service in the Pacific War, but after leaving the army he spent a lot of time helping visitors from Venus and Mars blend in with Earth clothing—the women apparently had trouble with high heels and rejected bras entirely. Later he would remember he was actually the reincarnated spirit of a Saturnian man named Sol du Naro, who occupied the body of a dead one-year-old named Howard Menger at the end of a wonderful relationship with a Venusian woman. He claims the beings and civilizations on Venus and Saturn vibrate at a higher frequency than those on Earth, rendering their bodies more tenuous and often invisible to us.
He described beautiful suburbs with redwood trees on Venus, unfamiliar animals, and people walking around in pastel clothing. He would also take a trip to the Moon after receiving a lunar potato containing over 15 percent protein from a contact in Philadelphia. The lunar trip would require a week and a half of atomic processing in order to exist on the Moon’s “expression of reality.” On arrival, Menger reported beautiful pearl-shaped aerodromes, women in gowns offering refreshments, floating trains, and a number of Russian, German, and Japanese tour groups. He even reported a huge, crashed, bullet-shaped vehicle, said to be the remains of an exploratory vessel from another world.
Back on Earth, later in life he recanted his story, blaming it all on aCIA mind experiment, only to re-recant back to his original story in the 1980s.
In 2014, an alleged whistleblower named Captain Kaye claimed he had spent 17 of his 20 years in the military on Mars, protecting five civilian colonies. He claims he was recruited into the Mars Defense Force (MDF) from a covert branch of the US Marine Corps called “Special Section,” although the MDF apparently recruits from a number of different military branches.
The main human colony on Mars is Aries Prime, built in the middle of a crater. Captain Kaye reports Mars has a breathable atmosphere and occasionally balmy climate. His mission was to defend the human colonies from the two indigenous races, a reptilian race and an insectoid race, aggressive in defense but not expansionist, usually content to leave the MDF and Mars Colony Corporation alone. Things took a turn toward the end of his service as all human military personnel were ordered to retrieve a sacred reptilian artifact from a cave. The ensuing battle killed almost 1,000 personnel and left only 27 survivors.
Captain Kaye said he hopes his testimony will bring to light thebreakaway human civilization on Mars, and he has been backed up by Michael Relfe, who also claims his 20 years of service included covert operations on the red planet. Laura Magdalene Eisenhower, who claims to be the great granddaughter of the President, also claimed attempts were made to recruit her for the Mars colony.
In 2015, Captain Kaye’s real name was revealed to be Randy Cramer, who gave further details such as the Moon landing being a cover for extensive operations on the Moon in the 1950s and Mars in the 1960s, and the US Marines “Special Section” being set up by President Eisenhower as a counterweight to Majestic-12.
In 1906, Utah’s Emery County Progress published an article about a recent trip to Mars by Sackville G. Leyson, president of Society for Psychical Research, via psychic projection. He described Mars as a big globe of molten fire surrounded by bloodred clouds mixed with others of greenish hue. He described two tribes of native Martians, both naked, covered in fur. The difference between them was that “one [was] so large I only came up to their knees and the other [was] so small that they only came up to my knees.” The larger species was described as possessing huge ears, a lion’s nose, a large eye in the middle of the forehead, and lungs that expanded crosswise rather than up and down. They lived in rock houses.
The smaller species was described as web-footed creatures able to slide across moss and scale walls, with eyes in their temples and two holes in their cheeks to make up for their lack of a nose. They lived in holes under the ground. He also reported rubber trees, a substance resembling snow that wasn’t cold and was soft to walk on, and “men working with some sort of machine which was guiding lights across transparent rocks. The rays seemed to be reflected clear to the atmosphere on earth.” Given the fact there isn’t much evidence Sackville G. Leyson actually existed, it’s most likely the entire account was fabricated by the Emery County Progress as a satire of astral projection and contemporary theories of life on other planets.
5. Ingo Swann And Harold Sherman
Remote viewers Ingo Swann and Harold Sherman allegedly undertook psychic journeys to Mercury and Jupiter, just ahead of the Pioneer 10 space probe. Mercury was allegedly filled with rainbows and had a thin atmosphere and a water-dwelling form of lichen-like lifeforms living on rocks. Jupiter was said to have a bitter cold atmosphere of swirling colors and tornados, as well as a 9,000-meter-high (30,000 ft) mountain range. Evaluations of the accuracy of the remote viewing were decidedly mixed. Doctors Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff thought Swann and Sherman’s reports compared favorably with data received from the Mariner 10 and Pioneer 10 research spacecraft.
Isaac Asimov, on the other hand, determined some 46 percent of the remote viewers’ observations were wrong, and only one out of every 65 observations made weren’t either immediately obvious or available in standard scientific textbooks. Swann would later theorize the astral viewing was simply so fast they actually ended up observing a gas giant in a different solar systemaltogether. Carl Sagan was even more damning, sarcastically calling the pair “two courageous American mystics” and their results “dreadful—sort of vague remembrances of sixth-grade general science.”
4. Dana Howard
Contactee Dana Howard wrote a number of books describing her experiences on Venus, including My Flight to Venus (1954), Diane: She Came From Venus (1956),Over the Threshold (1957), andVesta, the Earthborn Venusian (1959). She allegedly made first contact with a 250-centimeter-tall (8′) Venusian woman named Diane in 1936.
“Her head was radiant with a crown of fire, strands of golden hair cascading gently over her beautiful, slightly olive-tinted shoulders. The strange mystic light flooding her dark, prophetic eyes, added a wistful something to all her other charms . . . ‘Have no fears, Child of Earth,’ she intoned. ‘Let the doors of your mind be opened and we of the faraway planets will speak to you in poetry and song.’ “
Howard then entered a space ship made of translucent materials with gold trimming and gem studs. Then the mysterious woman disappeared, and Dana Howard was swept off on a trip to Venus.
She would later encounter the Venusian Diane again when she materialized at a seance in Los Angeles in 1955, telling Howard she would help her write about her experiences on Venus then dancing a kind of undulating waltz. In her works, written with Diane as muse no doubt, Howard detailed Venusian medicine as the manipulation of life essence, which resembled a spider’s web in white with a slight blue tint. She also wrote of their technology, teleportation achieved through vibration of matter through thought. Later, she would describe having married and raised children on the Second Planet.
3. George Adamski
In 1952, Polish immigrant George Adamski and some friends went into the Mojave Desert to look for UFOs. There they saw a gigantic, cigar-shaped craft and chased after it. The cigar craft rocketed into space, and Adamski was left alone when another, smaller craft appeared and a man appeared about 40 meters (130 ft) away, beckoning Adamski. He was a beautiful 160-centimeter-tall (5’3”) man with long, blonde hair and tanned skin, wearing a brown one-piece suit with a broad belt and red shoes. After shaking hands with Adamski, he opened telepathic contact and said his name was Orthon, he was from Venus, and he came to warn the Earth about the dangers of nuclear energy.
This was only Adamski’s first encounter. He would later claim to visit the Moon (where he reported “billions and billions of fireflies . . . flickering everywhere,” as well as cities, forests and snow-capped mountains) and Mars and Venus, where he enjoyed banquets with local inhabitants. He went there aboard bell-shaped flying saucers piloted by Nordic space brothers and took a number of photographs of the craft. His claims made him famous as the first well-known contactee, but some say his successful books about journeys through the solar system were merely a re-hash ofPioneers of Space, a science fiction book Adamski wrote through a ghost writer, and that much of his other evidence was faked.
2. Orfeo Angelucci
Believing mold to be a negative form of life leeching off living matter through a subtle process of mutation, Lockheed Corporation aviation employee Orfeo Angelucci decided to attempt an experiment in 1952, sending 18 samples ofAspergillus clavatusmold into the upper atmosphere to test structural changes in their growth. As fate would have it, the balloons broke away prematurely and the mold samples were lost, but by happy coincidence his mishap was noticed by a passing Neptunian spacecraft. His father-in-law first noticed the circular craft, which followed the balloons as they floated away.
Angelucci had a second encounter six weeks later when an oval object glowing red appeared in front of his car as he returned from work. It issued two balls of green fire which told him they were friends and to get out of his car. When he did, a man and woman of “ultimate perfection” appeared and told him he was of very special interest to the aliens surveying Earth. He would later encounter a dashing flying saucer pilot named Neptune who told him secrets of the universe and warned him of the dangers of Communism, and another handsome humanoid named Adam, who over steak dinner turned Angelucci’s glass of water into delicious space nectar by means of an effervescent white pellet.
After being brought to an alien world via flying saucer, Angelucci remembered having lived there before in a previous life on the world and that his original name was also Neptune. The world was apparently a remnant of the shattered planet Lucifer, once the most radiant planets in the universe, which had turned against the etheric beings of the “Father” or “Source.” He would also meet Jesus Christ, whom he revealed to be an infinite entity from the Sun, and witnessed the end of the world, which would happen in 1986 if humanity didn’t mend its ways. Good thing we got on that.
1. Rael
In 1973, French racing car journalist Claude Vorilhon reported a dramatic encounter with a humanoid alien named Yahweh at the Puy de Lassolas volcano park, who told him the secrets of the Elohim, the alien creators of the human race. Yahweh told him he was his real father, and bestowed him with the name Rael. In 1975, Rael claimed to have been taken to the planet of the Elohim (and the nearby planet of the Eternals, where humans live for 700 years before being cloned from a single cell taken prior to death) via flying saucer, stopping along the way for a massage and aromatherapy treatment at the outskirts of our solar system. Suitably refreshed, he arrived on the planet and met his half-brothers Jesus, Muhammad, and Buddha. While there, he was tempted by an Eloah named Satan, who told him Yahweh’s plan for enlightening the human race was doomed to failure and made a counter-offer of billions of dollars in a Swiss bank account if Rael would help carry out a plan of final cataclysm through worldwide racial war.
Rael demurred, saying that saving humanity was more important than riches and power, which was smart because it turned out the whole thing was a test by Yahweh to see if Rael was truly worthy. Rael was then shown the facilities making immortal biological robots, where they made a copy of Rael’s mother and a host of attractive young females before returning to Rael’s apartment for a party. Before returning him to Earth, Yahweh used a helmet-like machine to maximize Rael’s intellectual faculties—which probably had nothing to do with the fact he brought a clone robot of his mother to a sex party.
+ Truman Bethurum
Truman Bethurum almost doesn’t fit this list because he never did get to visit another planet, but he really could’ve been a contender. In 1952, the night shift maintenance mechanic finished work at 3:30 AM and drove out to a hillside called Mormon Mesa to look for seashells from the ancient sea that once covered the area. After a search, he fell asleep in his truck only to be awoken by “a mumbling, low talking in an unintelligible tongue.” His truck was surrounded by 8 to 10 short men, all olive-skinned, clean-shaven with black hair, appearing to be of Latin extraction. They were wearing leather jackets and what appeared to be Greyhound bus drivers’ uniforms.
Bethurum got out of his truck to greet them and immediately noticed the flying saucer hovering nearby. After shaking hands with the saucer crew and realizing they spoke English, Bethurum was taken aboard and introduced to their captain, the bewitching Aura Rhanes, who had a complexion of “a beautiful olive and roses,” wore a black beret over her short hair, and spoke to Bethurum in rhyming couplets. When he returned to his hotel, Bethurum wrote a note: “If I am found dead in my bed, it will be because my heart has stopped from the terrible excitement induced by seeing and going aboard a flying saucer!”
As it happened, Bethurum would be taken aboard the flying saucer another 11 times. He discovered that the visiters hailed from the planet Clarion, hidden on the far side of the Moon, and their saucer was made from the finest Martian steel. On their planet, there was no disease, divorce, war, or social unrest, and everyone lived to the age of 1,000. There was also no liquor or tobacco. He was told that mankind would never get into space until they ended strife and war.
Back on Earth, Bethurum would become popular on the UFO enthusiast circuit with speaking engagements and television interviews like NBC’s Betty White Show, eventually forming a religious group known as the Sanctuary of Thought. His wife divorced him out of jealousy of Aura Rhanes, although Bethurum was never able to take it further with her, nor did he ever get to planet Clarion. His last signals to the flying saucer went unanswered, and the last time he saw Aura Rhanes was in a restaurant in Los Angeles, were she was drinking a glass of orange juice and ignoring him. He never saw his space friends again. Maybe the fame had gone to his head, and they abandoned him. We may never know.

UFO sightings increasing in Queensland, Australia, say researchers (Photos)
UFO sightings increasing in Queensland, Australia, say researchers (Photos)
UFO researchers say UFO sightings are increasing in the state of Queensland in Australia. Recent sightings have included photos and video.
UFO Research Queensland President Sheryl Gottschall told the Brisbane Times there has been a spike in reports over the last few months. She says, “We get about 100 calls a year and across Australia all up the UFO research groups get up to 800. That’s just the reported sightings – a lot go unreported.”
Another representative from the Queensland UFO group agrees. In a radio interview with 4BC, Tino Pezzimenti says, “Only about 5% of reports or sightings actually get reported, so you can imagine. We get a couple hundred a year. That’s only probably 5% of people that actually find their way to reporting something to us.”

Pezzimenti says many of these are not just reports of lights in the sky. Some of the sightings come with photos or video.
The hosts of 4BC said they had heard many sightings are due to a large local event called the Royal Queensland Show, aka Ekka (referred to as “the exhibition” in the radio show). The event is Queensland’s largest annual event, attracting hundreds of thousands of guest from around the world. It includes farm animal, food, and strength competitions, among other events, and takes place in early August.
Pezzimenti admitted that many UFO reports are misidentifications. He cited a recent sighting in mid-July in which the police suggested the mysterious lights were actually due to the testing of the fairground lights in preparation for Ekka.
However, Pezzimenti says their organization is not quick to call everything a UFO. He explains, “To be a UFO it’s got to have to do something unusual or look unusual like this photograph, or it does a 90 degree turn, or it flies off faster than any jet we have ever heard and there’s not even a sonic boom.”
The photograph Pezzimenti refers to is a sighting he is particularly excited about. The photo was allegedly taken on Friday, May 23, 2014 in the Wooloowin area at 5:35 pm. It shows what appears to be a strange disk-shaped object in the sky.
Pezzimenti says the object does not appear to have engines or propellers. He says this kind of photographic evidence needs to be taken “pretty seriously.”
The image was posted on a Facebook page called Brisbane UFO Sightings, which was created recently for the founder of the page to post pictures of UFOs. Apparently, he or she captures them often. Other than the date, time, and location of the sighting, no other information is provided.
Other videos can be seen in the interview with 4BC and Pezzimenti, embedded in the Brisbane Times article.

The increase in sightings has lead to a local resident to begin holding skywatches. Kristy Buist, founder of the Paranormal Awareness Community, had her first skywatch scheduled for earlier this week.
Buist told the Brisbane Times she has had four sightings of her own. She described the first as, “platinum and sort of shaped like diamonds just casually floating across the sky”.
Now she says, “I do look for UFOs often. I look for them wherever I go.”
Brisbane Times says participants at the skywatch look for “‘unusual movement’ in the night sky, including ‘classic’ UFO moves such as bright lights travelling from one horizon to another in seconds or lights making sudden turns.”
Photos from the skywatch were posted on UFO Research Queensland’s Facebook page, but none of them include UFOs. However, as their Facebook page says, “Skywatching calls for a lot of patience and persistence.”
Both of which I am sure local researchers will continue to practice as they continue their quest for UFO evidence, which, incidentally, remains elusive despite the increased reports.
