‘Area 66’ brings ‘out of this world’ new slot machines
Route 66 Casino Hotel has unveiled its new Area 66, which features a 20-foot tall flying saucer.

An unidentified flying object has made its way into Route 66 Casino Hotel’s gambling floor.
The area, now known as Area 66, features a number of brand-spankin’-new slot games. The area was inspired by Area 51, the top-secret military base that has spawned stories of UFO landings and alien folklore. Area 66 was created to “increase awareness and anticipation” for some of the newest slot machines in the country, according to a Route 66 news release.
A giant flying saucer stands more than 20 feet tall. The bottom of the UFO contains an “extraterrestrial” language. The “out of this world” experience has lights that are beamed up into the ceiling dome that features images of aliens. The rotating flying saucer display was created by Electrick Gizmos and Display Systems, which worked closely with Route 66 casino management to have the idea come to fruition.
Route 66 aims to keep its gambling floor fresh with new slot machines. Area 66 slot machines will be replaced regularly with new, exclusive machines to make Route 66 the first to market with 18 new games every 90 days. The evolution of the gambling floor will continue throughout 2017, according to the news release.
For Route 66 promotions and other information, call 352-7866 or visit rt66casino.com.

125 Years of Progress takes you inside The Daily Progress' archives every day in celebration of our 125 years serving Charlottesville and the rest of Central Virginia.
Could this brief article that ran in the April 28, 1899 edition of The Daily Progress be the first record of a UFO sighting?
“On Wednesday evening, the residents on West Main Street were very much exercised over a mysterious light which appeared in the northeast. It seemed, according to the best information we could get, to be located just over that notable clump of trees on the Dunlora farm. It was in size apparently as large as a hogshead, round in form, with a slight elongation at the lower edge. It did not flash like a flame, and remained of the same size, neither moving from its position not increasing nor diminishing.
One gentleman said he watched it for more than an hour, and it did not change in any manner. Many persons assembled on the bridge to see the mysterious luminary but none could furnish anything approaching an explanation of it. It was sufficiently elevated to preclude the idea that it was a house afire, even if the other characteristics of such an event had been present. Every theory as to the strange visitor has fallen through, and yet it remains a mystery apparently unsolved.”
In that same edition, another unusual brief appeared.
“In excavating for a foundation in the city, the workman came across the tooth of an animal, at a depth of 14 feet from the surface. The tooth was 12 inches long and 2 ½ inches in diameter. It was broken by a pick, but was fixed together again, and will serve as a basis for investigation. It evidently belonged to some antedeluvian animal.”
PORTAL TO ANOTHER DIMENSION? Stunned onlookers fear 'wormhole' opened up above them
PORTAL TO ANOTHER DIMENSION? Stunned onlookers fear 'wormhole' opened up above them
STUNNED onlookers were left in awe after this "scientifically impossible" rainbow appeared in the skies - leading to theories of it being a portal to another dimension.
It was filmed by Anne Elle Salikala, over Pagadian City, Zamboanga, in the Philippines, who uploaded it to Facebo.
The stunning sight led to claims it was anything from a wormhole - a theoretical portal to another dimension, to aliens, or other paranormal phenomenon.
The footage has been uploaded to UFO and conspiracy theory websites and YouTube channels.
Scott C Waring, editor of ufosightingsdaily.com, blogged: "The colours are scientifically impossible for them to occur in clouds, however for a cloaked UFO its very possible.
"The easiest and most relaxing way a UFO can come close to a human community is by making itself appear as a cloud.
YouTube
The stunning colours were filmed and uploaded to social media.
"At this time there is a small chance that the odd position of the sun and the eyewitness will allow them this rare look at a UFO observing them back. "This is a magnificent alien craft we are looking at here."
Mr Waring provided no evidence to back up his outlandish claims, but there is a long-running conspiracy theory that some UFOS can conceal themselves by producing a cloud-like substance around them.
One viewer posted: "What is that? It looks like some sort of wormhole opening up."
Robots and new technology take the stage in battle against invasive species
Robots and new technology take the stage in battle against invasive species
Asian carp, wild goats and lionfish among those targeted
In this artist rendering provided by Robots in Service of the Environment, a new robot that hunts the dangerous and invasive lionfish made its debut in Bermuda in April. It stuns lionfish with an electric current and then the fish is vacuumed into a container alive and it can later be sold for food. The robot caught 15 lionfish in 48 hours of initial testing.

A robot zaps and vacuums up venomous lionfish in Bermuda. A helicopter pelts Guam's trees with poison-baited dead mice to fight the voracious brown tree snake. A special boat with giant winglike nets stuns and catches Asian carp in the U.S. Midwest.
In the fight against alien animals that invade and overrun native species, the weird and wired wins.
"Critters are smart — they survive," said biologist Rob "Goose" Gosnell, head of U.S. Department of Agriculture's wildlife services in Guam, where brown tree snakes have gobbled up nearly all the native birds. "Trying to outsmart them is hard to do."
Invasive species are plants and animals that thrive in areas where they don't naturally live, usually brought there by humans, either accidentally or intentionally. Sometimes, with no natural predators, they multiply and take over, crowding out and at times killing native species.
'We have totally new tools that were just unthinkable a few years ago.'
- PieroGenovesi, scientist
Now, new technology is being combined with the old methods — weed pulling, trapping and pesticides. Finding new weapons is crucial because invasive species are costly — $314 billion per year in damages in just the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, India and Brazil. It's also one of the leading causes of extinction on islands, such as Guam, according to Piero Genovesi, an Italian scientist who chairs the invasive species task force for an international organization.
"We have totally new tools that were just unthinkable a few years ago," Genovesi said.
Case in point: There are companies that now market traps for wild pigs that are triggered by cellphones.
"There's enough activity that there's starting to be an industry," said University of California, Santa Cruz research biologist Bernie Tershy.
Lionfish
A new underwater robot is targeting the stunning but dangerous lionfish, which has spread over the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and up the U.S. East Coast as far north as New York's Long Island, with its venomous spines that are dangerous to touch. With no natural predator in the Atlantic, the voracious aquarium fish devour large amounts of other fish including key commercial fish species such as snapper and grouper. The robot is the creation of Colin Angle, chief executive officer of iRobot, which makes the Roomba vacuum cleaner. Along with his wife, Erika, and colleagues, he created a new nonprofit to turn automation into environmental tools.
In this artist photo provided by Robots in Service of the Environment shows the first day a new robot was used to hunt dangerous and invasive lionfish in Bermuda. It stuns lionfish with an electric current and then the fish is vacuumed into a container alive and it can later be sold for food.
(Dr. Philippe Rouja/Robots in Service of the Environment via Associated Press)
The robot, called Guardian LF1, uses what Angle says is a gentle shock to immobilize the lionfish before they are sucked alive into a tube. In its first public outing this month, the robot caught 15 lionfish during two days of testing in Bermuda. Top chefs competed in a cook-off of the captured lionfish. Lionfish go for nearly $10 a pound and Angle is hoping to get the price of the robot down from tens of thousands of dollars to about $500.
"What's next?" Angle said. "Our ambition is much larger than lionfish."
Brown tree snakes
A few decades ago, native birds started disappearing from the Pacific island of Guam, baffling scientists until they found that non-native brown tree snakes were eating all the birds and their eggs. The snakes, which live in the trees, had no natural enemies and just trapping them wasn't working, Gosnell said. The snakes did prove to have one enemy: the painkiller acetaminophen, a generic form of Tylenol.
Newly designed aerial bait cartridges containing dead mice are seen here with 80-mg acetaminophen tablets and a biodegradable streamer-like cartridge.
(USDA/APHIS Wildlife Services via Associated Press)
So biologists came up with a plan: Use a painkiller pill glued to dead fetal mice as bait. The mice are put in tubes, and dropped by helicopter in batches of 3,000. The mice pop out, and the whole contraption dangles in the trees. It's still experimental, but it will soon go to more regular use. There is one problem, however. Using dead fetal mice as bait is expensive and they have to be kept cold. But biologists are working on a solution: mouse butter. A new bait mixture smells like mice to snakes, but minus the expense and logistical problems.
Asian carp
U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials are using souped-up old technology to catch Asian carp, a fish that's taken over rivers and lakes in the Midwest and are making their way towards the Great Lakes. They use a specialized boat — the Magna Carpa — with giant wing-like nets that essentially uses electric current as an underwater Taser to stun the fish, said biologist Emily Pherigo. At higher doses, the fish are killed and float to the surface. In just five minutes, they can collect 500 fish, and later turn them into fertilizer. Using electro-fishing was written about as a possible conservation technique back in 1933, said biologist Wyatt Doyle.

Wild goats
On the Galapagos islands, wild goats were a major problem. In less than five years, scientists wiped out tens of thousands with sterile "Mata Hari" females. Biologist Karl Campbell of the nonprofit Island Conservation introduced specialized female goats that researchers sterilized and chemically altered into a permanent state of heat, to lure the male goats into fruitless goat sex. Santiago Island, once home to 80,000 goats, is now goat free and larger Isabella Island is getting close, he said.
And now, Campbell and others are going one step further: Tinkering with the genes of mosquitoes and mice to make them sterile or only have male offspring. That would eventually cause a species to die off on an island because of lack of females to mate with. There are worries about regulating and controlling this technology, along with actually being able to get it done, so it is years away, Campbell said.
SETI Scientists Could Survey a Million Star Systems by 2037, Lawmakers Are Told
SETI Scientists Could Survey a Million Star Systems by 2037, Lawmakers Are Told

The search for intelligent life in the universe will see rapid advancements over the next two decades, thanks largely to improvements in computing power that could make it possible to survey at least a million star systems, according to Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute.
Shostak discussed the state of SETI efforts (SETI stands for search for extraterrestrial intelligence) during a hearing Wednesday (April 26) before the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. He was on Capitol Hill with three other scientists to testify on the subject of advances in the search for alien life.

"This experiment will only succeed if we can look at about a million or so star systems," Shostak told the committee. "That would have taken thousands of years with the current technology. Thanks to improvements, mostly in computers, that is speeding up by orders of magnitude. Over next 20 years we will be able to look at about a million other star systems."
How likely is it that scientists will find signs of life in those million star systems? Shostak's response reflected both an optimistic and a realistic outlook: "I bet everyone a cup of coffee that we will find something," he said, before quickly adding, "I may have to buy a lot of coffee."
Shostak has said previously he thinks signs of intelligent life will be found by 2040.
The improvements that will so greatly advance scientists' ability to search for signs of intelligent beings in the universe are largely twofold, Shostak said. First, as computer processors continue to follow Moore's law, computer processors will steadily get smaller, cheaper and faster. Thus, SETI scientists will be able to write computer software that simultaneously sifts through data collected by radio antennas as the antennas capture signals from multiple star systems.
"Instead of looking at one star at a time, which is what we've done … you could look at tens, hundreds, even thousands of stars at a time with enough computer-processing capability," he said. "And of course that capability is coming down the pipe."
The second improvement Shostak noted is that SETI scientists are working on using machine learning in their search for extraterrestrial communication signals. Now, scientists program computers to search for "one kind of pattern" in the radio data that could indicate an artificially created radio signal, he said. But that approach is extremely limiting — like a person who can hear only one note while listening to a symphony. Machine learning could "broaden the kind of thing [we] can recognize" in the radio signals, which would "speed up the search," he said.
Shostak also discussed the SETI Institute's efforts to search for artificial radio signals among the seven planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system, the discovery of which was announced in February. The seven planets orbit a single red dwarf star, and all of them orbit closer to the star than Mercury orbits the sun. As many as three of the seven planets could be habitable, according to Adam Burgasser, a professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego, and a member of the team that discovered the seven planets. Burgasser also appeared before the committee with Shostak.
The short distance between the worlds in the TRAPPIST-1 system means that if life emerged on one planet, it could have been spread to the other planets via meteoroids. What's more, if intelligent life formed there, it would have likely colonized the other planets, so the SETI scientists are looking for communications sent between planets.
"This could be a mini federation of planets, if you will," he said. "We are using our Allen Telescope Array to look at the Trappist-1 system and we … wait for planets to line up and then see if there's any difference in the amount of radio radiation coming our way. Because at that point, you're looking down a communication pipeline between these planets."
The other three panelists focused mainly on efforts to search for "simple life" in the universe, meaning life-forms that aren't identified based on their technology. Scientists are now eager to study the planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system using telescopes set to come online in the next five to 10 years. Those telescopes could find chemical signatures of life in the atmospheres of those planets. The TRAPPIST-1 planets, Burgasser said, are just a few examples of recently discovered, potentially habitable planets located relatively close to Earth, that will provide excellent subjects for those studies.
"This and other recent discoveries represent the beginning of an era of exoplanet exploration that, in the next five to 10 years, will allow us to identify truly habitable worlds and possibly life beyond Earth," Burgasser said. "These transformative advances, addressing one of humanity's most persistent questions — 'Are we alone?'— are fully achievable through a diverse portfolio of research programs led by U.S. scientists and supported by federal funding to NASA, [the National Science Foundation] and other science agencies."
The four members of the panel as well as the committee members also discussed the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The telescope, set to launch in 2018, could analyze the atmospheres of some alien planets in greater detail than any current telescopes. Beyond JWST, the panelists mentioned the upcoming Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which is expected to identify hundreds to thousands of new planets around other stars, Burgasser said. The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) and large ground-based telescopes set to come online in the 2020s, will also improve the study of exoplanet atmospheres, the panelists said.
"Our generation is the first in human history to know that there are worlds beyond our solar system. Will the next generation know whether life exists on those worlds?" Burgasser said. "We have the opportunity and the responsibility to continue our nation's legacy of discovery so that our children and grandchildren can search for life in new ways."
Californians have reported more close encounters with the third kind than any other state in the US, new research has shown.
A recently published book found that of the more than 120,000 reports of unidentified objects seen from 2001 to 2015, 16,000 of the sightings originated in the The Golden State.
The authors of the book 'UFO Sightings Desk Reference', have suggested that the warm weather could have something to do with it – people spend more time outside, which provides them with more chances to spot a UFO.

10. Ohio
'Since 1969 the government has claimed no interest in the subject, and the press and media either ignore or ridicule any mention of UFOs,' reads the book's synopsis.
'Yet citizen scientists and non-governmental organizations have continued to this day the research into this important subject: this book seeks to make the hardest data available accessible to the general public, as well as other UFO researchers.'
Although California reigns supreme in sightings, the book highlights that people have claimed to have spotted 'alien spacecraft' all over the US.
'We found that UFOs were sighted in every county in the United States,' explained 'UFO Sightings Desk Reference' co-author Cheryl Costa, who is a former military technician and aerospace analyst, told CBS in an interview.
'Every county had at least one sighting sometime in the past 15 years.'
'We think a great deal of it has to do with California's weather,' said Costa.
Costa explained that people spend a lot of time outdoors because of the mild climate, which gives them more opportunities to see 'UFOs'.
From 2001 to 2015, Californians reported 15,836 sightings and a majority of them were in the Bay Area: 159 in Marin County, 327 in San Francisco County, 188 in San Mateoo County, 518 in Alameda County and 569 in Santa Clara County
CALIFORNIANS MISTAKE NAVY MISSILE TEST FOR UFO
The Navy conducted missile tests off the coast on February 14, 2017, leading Californians who spotted the mysterious white light in the sky to believe they had seen a UFO.
Several people from the Bay Area down to Los Angeles spotted the light and captured the incident in photographs and videos that were later circulated online.
But the Navy issued a statement revealing they had conducted two missile tests off the coast of California early that Tuesday morning, ABC reported.
Videos of the missile test, many of which were filmed on the road, show a bright point in the sky with a beam of light radiating below it.
In one video, a woman could be heard exclaiming 'It's E.T!' while others took to social media to declare they had seen an alien spaceship.
But the Navy issued a statement saying two Trident II D-5 missile test flights were launched at sea at 3.30am PST and 6.20am, CBS reported.
All missile test flights were conducted from sea, flew over the sea, and landed in the sea. At no time did the missiles fly over land,' the statement said.
'All missiles are tracked from multiple sources from launch until final impact in the ocean. The missiles were not armed.'
Costa and her wife Linda Miller Costa, who is a librarian at Le Moyne College and a former librarian at the National Academy of Sciences, NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency, and she also co-wrote UFO Sightings Desk Reference, gathered data from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the National UFO Reporting Center for the book – both sites let users share their alleged extraterrestrial sightings.
The book is a collection of incidents from real witnesses who claimed the truth is out there and the duo has added research to back up their beliefs.
The authors of the book 'UFO Sightings Desk Reference', have suggested that the warm weather could have something to do with it – people spend more time outside, which provides them with more chances to spot a UFO.
From 2001 to 2015, Californians reported 15,836 sightings and a majority of them were in the Bay Area: 159 in Marin County, 327 in San Francisco County, 188 in San Mateoo County, 518 in Alameda County and 569 in Santa Clara County.
In New York County, the authors reported 426 sightings from 2001 to 2015, which came second to Suffolk County with 554, The NY Times reported.
Interestingly enough, The District of Columbia was found to have 154 incidents and Wyoming, which only has 5.8 people per square mile, had 337.
And some of the sightings were not UFOs but fireballs falling from the sky, which made up nearly 8 percent of Indiana's 230 sightings and less than 5 percent of Colorado's 157.
But the duo found that Los Angeles County in California had more sightings than 40 other US states combined.
Altogether, the Costas collected '121,036 eyewitness reports from the two combined national data bases,' they wrote in the book.

Crop Circle Found At Hill Top In Wiltshire This Week, UFO Landing Mark, April 24, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Crop Circle Found At Hill Top In Wiltshire This Week, UFO Landing Mark, April 24, 2017, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: April 24, 2017
Location of discovery: Wiltshire, England
This crop formation was found on a hill top in Wiltshire this week. Such formations in fields are believers to be the landing prints of an alien space craft, but some say its a message sent to us by future humans. Either way, they are extraordinary and very exciting to contemplate how they were made.
A new crop circle is found in Whiltshire every month, you would think that some farmer would have $50 to buy a live cam and set it up to watch their fields...since a farmer usually has a crop of $75,000-500,000 depending on the land size. Video of the making would change how science sees these formations forever.
'Giant Hurricane' on Saturn: 1st Images Back from Cassini's Epic Ring Dive
'Giant Hurricane' on Saturn: 1st Images Back from Cassini's Epic Ring Dive
By Sarah Lewin, Staff Writer
NASA's Cassini spacecraft dove between Saturn and its rings yesterday (April 26), snapping the closest-ever views of Saturn's atmosphere. The raw images, which began to stream back early this morning, indicating the probe had survived its journey, show intricate structures and a dark, swirling storm-like feature (which NASA called a "giant hurricane").

The spacecraft came within about 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometers) of Saturn's cloud tops and within 200 miles (300 km) of the rings' innermost visible edge during the plunge, NASA officials said in a statement. Because Cassini scientists and engineers didn't know what to expect of the gap — although it looked clear, unknown dust and debris could have proved harmful — the spacecraft was turned so its 13-foot-wide (4 meter) antenna acted as a shield as it dove, collecting data all the while. Only 20 hours after the pass was it scheduled to turn back toward Earth. "Our closest look ever at #Saturn’s atmosphere and giant hurricane," NASA officials wrote in a Twitter post. During a Facebook Live event, researchers later confirmed that the dark storm was the center of the vortex at its pole, stretching 2,000 km across, or almost 1,500 miles.
The spacecraft flew through the ring plane at 77,000 mph (124,000 kph) relative to the planet, and at that speed tiny particles could have posed a large threat to its sensitive instruments without the shielding. The rest of Cassini's unprocessed photos from the crossing are available online, along with more than 380,000 images documenting the spacecraft's journey, starting months before it arrived at Saturn in 2004.

"No spacecraft has ever been this close to Saturn before," Earl Maize, Cassini project manager and a researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, said in the statement. "We could only rely on predictions, based on our experience with Saturn's other rings, of what we thought this gap between the rings and Saturn would be like."
"I am delighted to report that Cassini shot through the gap just as we planned and has come out the other side in excellent shape," he added.

Saturn's atmosphere is relatively cool and mostly made of hydrogen, and the pressure at Saturn's cloud tops is about the same as Earth's pressure at sea level, NASA said. It hosts layers of clouds and that huge, spinning hexagon-shaped storm on its north pole, as well as more temporary storms that streak across the planet's surface. (One was nearly as wide as Earth.) It also hosts winds among the fastest in the solar system — NASA's Voyager missions, which passed Saturn in 1980 and 1981, measured winds at more than 1,100 mph (1,800 kph).
Many mysteries of Saturn remain to be determined: the exact length of its day and internal structure, as well as the exact composition and age of its rings, could become clear over the course of Cassini's explorations.

Cassini will complete 21 more dives before its Grand Finale plunge and burn-up in Saturn's atmosphere Sept. 15 — its next dive is May 2. Because each of the dives takes a slightly different path, engineers will be ready to shield the spacecraft again if needed. But ideally, it will be smooth sailing for the spacecraft until its ultimate atmosphere dive, collecting photos of the unexplored regions all the while.

IJzige planeet ontdekt die ongeveer net zo zwaar is als onze aarde
IJzige planeet ontdekt die ongeveer net zo zwaar is als onze aarde
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De planeet bevindt zich op zo’n 13 lichtjaar van de aarde en is ontdekt met behulp van een micro-zwaartekrachtlens.
De exoplaneet heeft de lastig te onthouden naam OGLE-2016-BLG-1195Lb gekregen en heeft een massa die vergelijkbaar is met de massa van de aarde. Ook de afstand tussen de exoplaneet en de moederster is vergelijkbaar met de afstand tussen de aarde en de zon.
Te koud Ondanks de overeenkomsten die deze exoplaneet met onze aarde heeft, hoeven we er hoogstwaarschijnlijk geen leven te verwachten. De planeet is veel te koud. OGLE-2016-BLG-1195Lb draait namelijk om een heel kleine moederster. Die ster is zo klein dat wetenschappers niet eens zeker weten of het wel een ster is. Het kan ook wel eens een bruine dwerg zijn: een sterachtig object dat niet in staat is tot kernfusie. Het zou ook een ultrakoele dwergster kunnen zijn (zoals TRAPPIST-1). Het lijkt er hoe dan ook op dat de exoplaneet hartstikke koud is (mogelijk zelfs kouder dan Pluto) en dat eventueel oppervlaktewater op de planeet bevroren is.

Microlensing Onderzoekers ontdekten OGLE-2016-BLG-1195Lb met behulp van een techniek die gravitationele microlensing wordt genoemd. Hierbij maken onderzoekers handig gebruik van het licht van heldere sterren die op grote afstand van de aarde staan. Wanneer een ster voor zo’n heldere ster op grote afstand langsbeweegt, zorgt de zwaartekracht van de ster op de voorgrond ervoor dat de ster op de achtergrond helderder lijkt. Een planeet die rond de ster op de voorgrond cirkelt veroorzaakt een beter waarneembare afname in de schijnbaar toegenomen helderheid van de ster op de achtergrond, wat detectie van die planeet gemakkelijker maakt. Op deze manier hebben onderzoekers al verscheidene exoplaneten op grote afstand van de aarde ontdekt.
OGLE-2016-BLG-1195Lb is de lichtste planeet die tot op heden middels gravitationele microlensing ontdekt is. Het is op dit moment niet mogelijk om planeten die veel kleiner zijn dan OGLE-2016-BLG-1195Lb middels gravitationele microlensing te detecteren. Maar dat gaat veranderen. En wel over een jaartje of tien, wanneer NASA de gevoelige ruimtetelescoop Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) lanceert.
Nog nooit zagen we Saturnus' atmosfeer van zo dichtbij!
Nog nooit zagen we Saturnus' atmosfeer van zo dichtbij!

Cassini heeft de eerste foto’s die de sonde maakte terwijl hij in het gat tussen Saturnus en zijn ringen dook, naar de aarde gestuurd.
Cassini maakte de foto gisteren. Toen dook de ruimtesonde voor het eerst in het 2400 kilometer brede gat tussen Saturnus en zijn ringen. De snoekduik bracht de sonde – die al 13 jaar rond Saturnus cirkelt – dichter bij de gasreus in de buurt dan ooit. Het resulteert dan ook in fantastische close-up foto’s van de atmosfeer van de gasreus.
Eerste foto Na een radiostilte van bijna 24 uur heeft Cassini die foto’s vanmorgen (Nederlandse tijd) naar de aarde gestuurd. En NASA heeft direct één – onbewerkt – kiekje online gezet. Op de foto zien we de atmosfeer van Saturnus van wel heel dichtbij.

Er komt nog meer! De komende dagen zullen ongetwijfeld nog veel meer indrukwekkende foto’s worden vrijgegeven. En dat is nog maar het begin. De komende maanden zal Cassini namelijk nog 21 keer in het gat tussen Saturnus en de ringen duiken. Behalve fraaie foto’s van Saturnus’ wolkentoppen mogen we ook spectaculaire close-up beelden verwachten van de binnenste ringen van de gasreus.
Een van de vele onbewerkte foto’s die gisteren is gemaakt. De atmosfeer van Saturnus ziet er in ieder geval spannend uit.
Nog een foto van de atmosfeer van Saturnus.
Wetenschap Natuurlijk maakt Cassini niet alleen foto’s. De sonde doet ook onderzoek naar de zwaartekracht en magnetische velden van Saturnus. En gehoopt wordt dat Cassini eindelijk meer inzicht kan geven in de rotatiesnelheid van Saturnus en de oorsprong van het indrukwekkende ringenstelsel dat we rond de gasreus vinden.
Met de 21 snoekduiken in de ruimte tussen Saturnus en zijn ringen is het laatste en misschien wel spannendste deel van Cassini’s werkzame leven aangebroken. In september zal de sonde opdracht krijgen om zich in Saturnus’ atmosfeer te boren.
Deze rups verorbert plastic tasjes (en nog snel ook!)
Deze rups verorbert plastic tasjes (en nog snel ook!)
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De rupsen breken het plastic echt op en kunnen ons weleens helpen om af te rekenen met een hardnekkig probleem: plastic afval.
Het draait allemaal om de larven van Galleria mellonella, oftewel de grote wasmot. Grote wasmotten leggen hun eitjes in de bijenwas die in bijenkorven te vinden is. Wanneer de larven uit hun eitjes komen zetten, doen ze zich tegoed aan die bijenwas (vandaar ook de naam: grote wasmot). Maar deze larven zijn niet alleen heel goed in het opbreken van bijenwas. Ze weten ook wel raad met plastic. Tot die verrassende conclusie komen onderzoekers in het blad Current Biology. “Wij hebben ontdekt dat de larven van een heel gewoon insect – Galleria mellonella, in staat zijn om één van de meest hardnekkige en meest gebruikte plastics – polyethyleen – af te breken,” vertelt onderzoeker Federica Bertocchini.
Toevalstreffer Bertocchini kwam de bijzondere kwaliteit van de rupsen bij toeval op het spoor. Ze verwijderde de parasitaire larven die in haar bijenkorven huisden en stopte ze tijdelijk in plastic zakken. Toen ze na enige tijd weer een blik op die plastic tasjes wierp, zaten ze vol met gaten.
ANDERE PLASTIC-ETERS
Er zijn ons wel meer organismen bekend die plastic eten. Zo werden vorig jaar bacteriën ontdekt die sommige soorten plastic afbreken. Maar ze zijn lang niet zo snel als de grote wasmotten. De bacteriën kunnen hooguit 0,13 milligram plastic per dag verorberen.
Experiment Om meer te weten te komen over de plastic etende rupsen, zette Bertocchini samen met enkele collega’s een experiment op. Ze verzamelde zo’n 100 larven en schotelde ze een plastic tasje uit de supermarkt voor. Amper veertig minuten later begonnen er al gaten in het tasje te vallen. En na 12 uur hadden de larven al zo’n 92 milligram plastic verorberd. Het is indrukwekkend dat de larven zo snel korte metten kunnen maken met plastic. Zeker als je bedenkt dat het normaliter tientallen jaren duurt voor dit plastic op natuurlijke wijze is afgebroken.
Van bijenwas naar plastic Hoe doen de grote wasmotten dat toch? De onderzoekers weten het nog niet precies. Maar ze hebben er wel ideeën over. Ze wijzen erop dat de bijenwas die deze larven normaliter eten bestaat uit een mix van lipiden (vetachtige bouwblokken van levende cellen). Waarschijnlijk moeten de larven om die bijenwas te kunnen verteren chemische bindingen verbreken die vergelijkbaar zijn met de bindingen in polyethyleen. “Was is een polymeer, een soort ‘natuurlijk plastic’,” legt Bertocchini uit. “En het heeft een chemische structuur die niet heel veel verschilt van die van polyethyleen.”
De larven van de grote wasmot eten normaal gesproken geen plastic. Dat ze er wel raad mee weten als ze ermee geconfronteerd worden, zou komen doordat ze normaal gesproken bijenwas – een soort ‘natuurlijk plastic’ – verorberen.

In de speekselklieren? Nader onderzoek wijst overigens uit dat de larven het plastic niet alleen opeten, maar ook echt afbreken. “We tonen aan dat de polymeerketens in het polyethyleen echt gebroken worden door de wasmotten,” vertelt onderzoeker Paolo Bombelli. “De rupsen produceren iets wat de chemische bindingen verbreekt.” Waar dat stofje precies wordt gemaakt, weten de onderzoekers niet. “Misschien wel in de speekselklieren.” Een andere optie is dat het gemaakt wordt door een bacterie die zich in het verteringskanaal van de rups ophoudt. Vervolgonderzoek zal gericht zijn op het identificeren en lokaliseren van het verantwoordelijke stofje.
Als we weten hoe de rupsen plastic afbreken, kunnen we het kunstje wellicht op grote schaal nabootsen en zo afrekenen met plastic afval. “En onze oceanen, rivieren en het milieu redden van de onvermijdelijke consequenties die plastic heeft,” stelt Bertocchini.
Several years after the surgical removal of their alleged alien implants, five individuals courageously accepted to take part in an interview to discuss their “before and after effects”. All persons, one male and four females, shared one thing in common: UFO encounters and contact with non-human alien beings.
Dr. Roger Leir, a podiatrist from Thousand Oaks, California, founder of FIRST (Fund for Interactive Research and Space Technology) and Derrel Sims, C.Ht., R.H.A., a certified hypnotherapist , co-founder of FIRST and experienced UFO Investigator of over 27 year, orchestrated the successful surgeries with a team of competent medical professionals and volunteers. The first set of “implant” surgeries took place on August 19, 1995 at Dr. Roger Leir’s podiatry clinic in Thousand Oaks, California.
Pat Parrinellio, a 47 year old male from Houston, Texas, and Mary Jones (a pseudonym) 52, also from Texas, had the anomalous objects appear in X- rays, although both UFO experiencers had no record of previous surgeries. Both individuals were investigated by Derrel Sims of HUFON (Chief Investigator for Houston UFO Network) and referred to Dr. Roger Leir for surgery, based on their past UFO encounters and X-rays which confirmed the anomalous objects. Pat’s object was removed from the back of his left hand, and Mary’s objects excised from her left big toe. All services were performed free of charge.
The alleged implants removed from the first set of surgeries were studied by two different pathologists, and then sent to various independent laboratories for extensive scientific analysis. The tests performed on these alleged alien implants were: a pathology/tissue evaluation, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), extensive metallurgical testing involving a density immersion test, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction pattern analysis and electron/magnetic and fluorescence property analysis. Isotopic range tests are also in progress. Tests were conducted by the National Institute of Discovery of Science (NIDS), New Mexico Tech, and other independent sources.
But that is not all. While these unusual objects were being evaluated for scientific study, another set of implant surgeries took place on May 18, 1996. Two women from this second set of surgeries came forward for this interview and follow up study. Dorothy O’Hara, a 61 year old female from Palm Springs, California, and Alice Leavy , 40, from Newberry Park, California, each had similar objects removed from their left lower leg. Another woman, Licia Davidson, 37, who has had numerous UFO and alien encounters, had a rare, crystalline-like object removed from her foot in January of 1997.
FINDINGS
“The findings of these implant surgeries are highly unusual,” reported Dr. Leir. “In all these cases, there was virtually no inflammatory response.” This is not the usual finding in foreign tissue reactions. Normally, foreign bodies embedded in tissues result in some type of acute or chronic inflammatory response, and may include fibrosis and cyst formation. Such was not the case here. The pathology reports of the first two surgeries revealed that the metallic objects were encased in a very dense, tough, grey membrane consisting of proteinaceous coagulum, hemoseridin and pure keratin. More simply, blood protein and skin cells that are usually found in the superficial layer of the skin. The tough, biological “cocoons” encasing the implants were also found to contain nerve proprioceptors – nerve and pressure cells of the wrong tissue type for that part of the body. These implant cocoons also fluoresced a bright green color in the presence of an ultraviolet light source.
The implants from the two women from the second set of surgeries did not exhibit metallic properties like the implants from the first set of surgeries. In fact, the spheroid, whitish objects did not contain the tough, biological outer jackets, or fluoresce from a UV light source. These types of implants (possibly biological) also lacked the expected inflammatory response, according to the pathology reports. The crystalline-like object excised from the foot in the most recent surgery, also lacked the tough, grey, outer membrane and had virtually no inflammatory response, as in the other implant surgeries. Test results from the first set of implants revealed that the lammelar, needle shaped metallic objects in question are basically meteoric in origin, containing at least eleven different elements.
In an interview with Alien Encounters Magazine, (July 1997 issue, United Kingdom) Derrel Sims commented on the uncommon, non-rejecting human response to the implants: “It seems that the dense fibrous membrane may have been the person’s own surface skin. If this is the case, it appears that the metallic objects are wrapped in a sheath of keratinaceous material (surface skin). Nerve fibers then surround the tissue and appear to be attached to larger nerves. The fact that both persons (from the first set of surgeries) objected verbally and physically could be an indication of this (nervous system) connection.” Mr. Sims believes the indications are very strong that these implants are extraterrestrial in origin. “But”, Mr. Sims concedes, “Whatever the scientists say who have examined the objects say, is what we will say.” Derrel Sims has stated that a scientific peer review of all tests must be done before more specifics can be released. This is the standard course of action taken in any scientific endeavor.
Scientific evaluation is our best ally, but the experiences and opinions of the courageous individuals involved in these implant surgeries are equally important. A series of simple questions were posed to each of the participants. When asked as to how and when their implants might have been inserted, Pat Parrinellio from Houston, Texas believed his implant could have been inserted during a UFO encounter he had in 1954, at six years of age . Mary Jones recalls two UFO encounters when her metallic objects could have been implanted, in 1969. “In the first frightening UFO encounter”, Mary commented, “I was on a camping trip with my family while pregnant with my third child.” Oddly enough, one month after Mary’s child was born, she had another alien encounter while at home during the night. Conversely, Dorothy O’Hara from Palm Springs, California and Licia Davidson also from California both replied, “I have no idea when the object was inserted.” Alice Leavy commented that she first noticed the lump on her leg following a UFO encounter involving other witnesses in San Diego, in 1993. “I actually noticed the lump” Alice clarified, “when I discovered the scoop mark also on my left leg, after the UFO encounter.”
If the alien “abductors” are responsible for implanting objects in the bodies of their abductees, then are the aliens cognizant of the fact that the implants have been removed? So the next question was posed, “Did you experience any UFO sightings, alien abductions, odd dreams, missing time or paranormal events just prior to, or after the implant surgery? (within a month)” Pat Parinellio revealed, “Yes, an unusual set of events took place with another witness involving an orange glowing UFO one evening about a week before the surgery. After the surgery, I noticed that my psychic abilities seemed to decrease.”
Dorothy replied, “About a week before the surgery I had a dream-like, abduction experience involving many other people in a large locker room type facility, waiting in line for what seemed to be a shot in the backs of our necks. Also, right before an appointment to meet one of Derrel Sims’ associates for an interview (regarding the implant surgery), I and another women had a strange experience. It was like getting stuck in a time warp. I ended up being very late for the appointment. And then, late one evening after I returned from the surgery, I had an alien encounter, that I couldn’t clearly recall.”
Both Licia and Alice did not recall any unusual events soon before or after the implant surgery. Mary experienced a rare, pain and swelling in her toe and foot about a week before the surgery. “At that time”, Mary revealed, “I knew exactly where the objects were in my foot, I could feel them.” Prior to that, Mary had no pain or sensations of that kind in her toe. “What was really strange,” Mary admitted, “was that the moment I stepped out of the car to meet Derrel Sims just prior to the surgery, my pain stopped.”
The real question one may wonder about is: Now that the implants have been removed, will the aliens continue to come back and abduct the abductees? All individuals except Mary Jones were able to answer with a resounding, “Yes”. Alice elaborated on an abduction she had two months after the implant surgery, “I retired to bed early due to a headache. My husband awoke at 1:00 am because the whole bedroom lit up like daylight. He looked at the clock, reached over to touch me and found that I was gone. Paradoxically, my husband quickly went back to sleep. The next day I felt very ill. I don’t recall anything during the night, but I noticed the next day that my dog had nervously clawed several areas in the house, as if he were trying to escape something frightening.”
As to changes in health, mood, dreams or psychic phenomena after the surgery, all five agreed as to some type of change. Mary Jones simply stated that she felt a sense of peace after her objects were removed. Dorothy commented, “I felt a tremendous sense of relief after the surgery.” Licia remarked, “Yes, I had a dramatic and immediate mood lift after the object was removed from my foot. I also stopped having the pain and the weird, watery sensation surrounding my foot.”
The most striking changes were noted by Dorothy. ” I had a severe diuretic effect and lost much water weight a week following the surgery. Then my health progressively worsened and I developed angina and edema. This heart problem was a recurring complication from a previous illness I had in my late twenties. I also experienced extreme fatigue, and could not concentrate. The illness lasted about a month, after which my energy and health returned with more vigor. My creativity and mental clarity improved remarkably. ( I am a writer) I had a startling improvement in my memory where I was able to recall a previous alien abduction experience from 1991. In other words, it was the first time I was able to pierce through a screen memory from an abduction, although it took me three days to process the memory. It was difficult mentally and emotionally. In hindsight, after the implant surgery and recovery from illness, I felt detoxified.” Pat, on the other hand, noticed a more subjective change and simply stated, “Yes, a part of me which remains hidden has undergone quite a few changes of paradigms.”
Alice and Dorothy shared a common symptom several months after their surgeries. Alice remarked, “About eight months afterwards, I had shooting pains in my left leg and noticed the implant scar turned bright red and hurt, and lasted for about a week. Also, around that same time period I had a strong, precognitive vision that later came true in exact detail.” Dorothy added, “Yes, I also noticed a strange reaction in my leg and implant scar about six months after the surgery. I felt shooting pains in my left leg, especially at the implant site. The incision scar turned bright red for about a month.”
Could these changes in each of the individuals interviewed alter their views of the UFO phenomena after the fact? Pat admitted he was basically in denial about the UFO abduction phenomena previous to the surgery. “And yet,” Pat stated, “it seems like the more one becomes aware of the fact, the more I realize that I don’t know anything. But I do sense that something is accelerating.” Dorothy concurred with Pat in that she formerly believed the UFO phenomena was all nonsense. Afterwards Dorothy realized, “I have been able to work through many issues in my life, now that I am no longer in denial. Now I have a more practical and spiritual approach to life, and am more concerned with helping others in a practical sense, not promoting some New Age or metaphysical philosophy.” Mary also admitted she had no interest or knowledge of the UFO abduction phenomena previously.
“Even now,” Mary added, ” I have no real interest in the UFO topic, yet cannot deny there is something to it.” Both Licia and Alice had a good knowledge and belief in the UFO abduction field. Licia stated that her views have not really changed. “The best way I can describe it,” Licia explained, “is that I have had a real powerful, extreme source of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.” Alice admitted, “Previously, I felt the aliens were possibly evil. Now, after the surgery and as life and my abductions continue, I think the aliens just have a job to do. It’s not a good job. I think they are just following orders.”
So, is the UFO community at large telling the whole truth about what really happens to abductees? Pat says, “Truth is subjective. I know there are a few researchers who are holding to the narrow line of finding out what is going on.” Alice agreed that for the most part, the abduction researchers are reporting things as they are experienced, but for one small exception. Some top researchers are not mentioning the apparent military involvement. Licia concurred with Alice, “Top researchers are touching on the major issues, but in my opinion, do not want to get involved in the government end of it.” Dorothy forthrightly stated, “Many people in the UFO community have their head in the clouds and believe in an overly benevolent, fanciful spiritual philosophy. There is not enough critical analysis. I have learned more from one on one conversations with other abductees than from the public lecture circuit.” As to the US government covering up UFO facts from the general public, all individuals agreed. Alice concluded, “Yes, especially the Roswell, New Mexico UFO incident of 1947.
Most of the implantees described noteworthy mental, psychic or health related changes following their implant surgeries. Four of them reported a continuation of some type of alien abduction activity. The two women who had the “biological” type implants removed, experienced strikingly similar post surgical changes, involving shooting pains and reddening of the incision scar for a short period of time.
The important thing to consider here, is the whole clinical picture. Over reliance on the physical test results of the implants alone are not substantial enough to solve the implant mystery – let alone the question of the alien presence. If not, then what is? The lives and experiences of the abductees themselves, tell us that we need to stop and listen. The answer lies somewhere in between science and the hearts of the people.

Evidence of advanced ancient civilizations on Earth—over 100,000 years ago?
Evidence of advanced ancient civilizations on Earth—over 100,000 years ago?
The idea that advanced ancient civilizations existed on Earth in the distant past has captured the interest of authors, historians, and archaeologists across the globe. Every once in a while, experts make discoveries that completely change everything we know about history. What if, in the distant past—as far as 100,000 years ago—Earth was inhabited by civilizations that were completely different from what we are today?
Do you believe that Intelligent civilizations lived on Earth over 100,000 years ago? Many controversial discoveries point to the possibility that hundreds of thousands of years ago, advanced civilizations roamed our planet. What do we really know about history and the past of the human race? Has mankind been on planet Earth only a couple of thousands of years as mainstream researchers suggest?
Or is it possible that advanced ancient civilizations inhabited our planet hundreds of thousands of years ago? Recently, several discoveries seem to point to that possibility.
Why mainstream researchers opted to ‘ignore’ details and clues which point towards the existence of civilizations that are much older than we previously believed is still an enigma for a lot of people. Evidence of civilizations that inhabited our planet ‘before recorded history’ can be found in all corners of the world. In Ancient Egypt, Mesoamerica and Sumeria we find written texts that speak of great civilizations, great rulers, and a ‘golden age’ that lasted for thousands of years.
Evidence of civilizations that inhabited our planet ‘before recorded history’ can be found in all corners of the world. In Ancient Egypt, Mesoamerica and Sumeria we find written texts that speak of great civilizations, great rulers, and a ‘golden age’ that lasted for thousands of years.
Let’s take a trip to Africa, there, we will find evidence of a major ancient settlement that predates our entire history.
Intelligent civilizations inhabited Africa over 100,000 years ago
Around 150 km west of port Maputo, we find the remains of a huge metropolis that measures, according to initial studies, around 1500 square kilometers. This ancient city is according to researchers, part of an even larger community with about 10,000 square kilometers, believed to have been constructed between 160,000 to 200,000 years before Christ.
The surrounding geology is interesting due to numerous gold mines located in the vicinity. Researchers have proposed that a missing civilization from the distant past, could have lived and proposed in that part of the world while mining gold.
Researchers point to the Ancient Anunnaki.
Lost civilizations in the Amazon?
Is this another civilization that predates the Inca and their ancestors? No one could have imagined that somewhere, in the remote areas of the Amazon, a lost civilizations would be found.
Rapid deforestation in combination with Google Earth has allowed the detection of 210 geoglyphs in 200 different site sites, in a strip of 250 kilometers by 10 kilometers in the Amazon. Just like the Nazca lines, the incredible geometric, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic designs of the Amazon can only be truly appreciated from the air. The question remains, why?
The question remains, why?
Numerous remains of what is obviously part of an ancient and hitherto unknown civilization have appeared under the trees of the Amazonian rainforest. According to researchers, 260 huge avenues, long irrigation canals, and fences for livestock have been spotted from the air. The discovery was made in the vicinity of the border between Bolivia and Brazil.
The lost pyramids of the Amazon: Traces of a prehistoric civilization!
In the tangled and dense jungles of the Amazon, there are numerous mysteries that could probably help us understand how ancient civilizations lived in the distant past.
Even thought that several researchers believe that the Pyramids of Paratoari are truncated ridge spurs, which can take the form of natural pyramids, there are many other researchers who firmly believe that these structures were built in the distant past by a civilization that completely been ignored by mainstream history
Excursions to the region found plenty of evidence of Incan inhabitance in the area, such as petroglyphs, paved roads, and platforms.
The mysterious pyramidal structures were first identified via NASA satellite photograph number C-S11-32W071-03, released in 1976. The images caused numerous researchers to venture to the Manu area of dense tropical rain forest in southeast Peru in hopes to find out whether these structures were actually built by an ancient civilization, lost in time.
The Sphinx, an 800,000-year-old monument?
One of the most mysterious and enigmatic monuments on the surface of the planet is without a doubt the Great Sphinx at the Giza plateau in Egypt. It is an ancient construction that has baffled researchers ever since its discovery and until today, no one has been able to accurately date the Sphinx, since there are no written records or mentions in the past about it. Now, two Ukrainian researchers have proposed a new provocative theory where the two scientists propose that the Great Sphinx of Egypt is around 800,000 years old. A Revolutionary theory that is backed up by science.
The authors of this paper are scientists Manichev Vjacheslav I. (Institute of Environmental Geochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) and Alexander G. Parkhomenko (Institute of Geography of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine).
The starting point of these two experts is the paradigm shift initiated by West and Schoch, a ‘debate’ intended to overcome the orthodox view of Egyptology referring to the possible remote origins of the Egyptian civilization and, on the other, physical evidence of water erosion present at the monuments of the Giza Plateau.
The truth is that we have very little knowledge when it comes to the origins of live and modern civilization.
In a recently published study, experts concluded that DIFFERENT ‘Complex’ life forms may have once existed on Earth before our species came into existence.
“This research shows that there was enough oxygen in the environment to have allowed complex cells to have evolved…”
According to scientists, we are not the FIRST complex life forms on planet Earth. In fact, another complex life form existed once but disappeared at some point during Earth’s long history. Then, after a while, complex life forms reappeared.
Mainstream scholars agree that given our ‘current’ knowledge of Earth’s history, complex life appeared on our planet at least some 1.75 BILLION years ago.
So, if complex life could have existed on Earth in the distant past, why is it so improbable and unlikely that advanced civilizations flourished on Earth?
Curiously, according to Jason Wright, assistant professor of astrophysics and astronomy of the Pennsylvania State University ‘technological’ alien civilizations may have once lived on one of the planets in our solar system, and eventually disappeared without a trace.
In a study titled ‘Prior Indigenous Technological Species’, Professor Wright proposes that ancient aliens may have even lived on either Mars, Venus or Earth.
The scientific paper—which has been published in arXiv—states: A prior indigenous technological species might have arisen on ancient Earth or another body, such as a pre-greenhouse Venus or a wet Mars.
However, if these advanced alien civilizations existed in our solar system—perhaps even Earth—most evidence of their existence is probably gone by now.
Trump Orders Complete Disclosure of UFO Data Kept by CIA In Area 51
Trump Orders Complete Disclosure of UFO Data Kept by CIA In Area 51
The Baltic Sea anomaly is a 60-metre diameter circular rock-like formation on the floor of the northern Baltic Sea that emerged in June 2011. The CIA knows that it is really a crashed alien UFO Submersible.
As he spoke to astronauts on the International Space Station on Monday, President Donald Trump has ordered the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency to review and release all files concerning space aliens and Unidentified Flying Objects or UFOs.
Trump promised to take this step in his inaugural speech. He said: "We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.
"A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions."
It comes as a surprising development to some, as Trump hasn't commented on the issue of extraterrestrial life and has never before specifically said that confidential UFO sighting papers should be released. Talking to Astronaut Peggy Whitson on the ISS, however, Trump recommitted NASA to a Mars mission during his second term, i.e. the early 2020's.
During her campaign Hillary Clinton made it clear she would do all she could to release secret files on UFO's. Of course, her husband Bill Clinton made the same promise and never did. The truth is still out there.
A comparison of the Baltic Sea Anomaly and the Millenium Falcon spaceship.
The Baltic Sea anomaly is a 60-metre diameter circular rock-like formation on the floor of the northern Baltic Sea that emerged in June 2011. The CIA has proof that it is really a crashed alien UFO Submersible.
Russian intelligence performed a study in 2008 theorizing that the Baltic Anomaly is in fact, an alien spacecraft that accidentally emerged from subspace or "hyperspace," on the ocean floor within the Earth's basaltic crust. They shared these extraordinary findings with the CIA. Soon the world will know--unless the deep state gets to Trump first.
HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. In the film, Curtis argues that since the 1970s, governments, financiers, and technological utopians have given up on the complex "real world" and built a simple "fake world" that is run by corporations and kept stable by politicians. The film was released on 16 October 2016 on the BBC iPlayer.
The term "hypernormalisation" is taken from Alexei Yurchak's 2006 book Everything was Forever, Until it was No More: The Last Soviet Generation, about the paradoxes of life in the Soviet Union during the 20 years before it collapsed.
A professor of anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, he argues that everyone knew the system was failing, but as no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo, politicians and citizens were resigned to maintaining a pretence of a functioning society. Over time, this delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy and the "fakeness" was accepted by everyone as real, an effect that Yurchak termed "hypernormalisation".
One chapter begins with a montage of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings recorded by members of the public in the United States. It argues that the phenomenon surrounding UFOs in the 1990s was born out of a counter-intelligence operation designed to make the public believe that secret airborne high-technology weapons systems the US military tested during and after the Cold War were alien visitations. Top secret memos forged by the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations were allegedly leaked to ufologists who spread the manufactured conspiracy theory of a government cover-up to the wider public. The method, called perception management, aimed to distract people from the complexities of the real world.
American politics are described as having become increasingly detached from reality. Curtis uses the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s as an example of an event that took the West by surprise because reality had become less and less important. A Jane Fonda workout video is shown to illustrate that socialists had given up trying to change the real world and were instead focusing on the self and encouraging others to do the same. The video is intercut with footage of Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife, Elena, being executed by firing squad and buried following the Romanian Revolution in 1989.
Nieuwe foto van mysterieus lichtfenomeen in Hessdalen. Is dit bewijs dat Noorwegen wordt bezocht door UFO’s?
Nieuwe foto van mysterieus lichtfenomeen in Hessdalen. Is dit bewijs dat Noorwegen wordt bezocht door UFO’s?
Wetenschappers, UFO-jagers en andere enthousiastelingen zijn al jaren gefascineerd door het mysterieuze Licht van Hessdalen in Noorwegen.
Op een conferentie in Wenen is nu een foto onthuld die in september 2015 door wetenschappers van het Østfold University College in Hessdalen is gemaakt.
Ze wachtten twee jaar met het naar buiten brengen van de foto en kozen er bewust voor om het beeld te presenteren tijdens een wetenschappelijke bijeenkomst.
Echt bestaat
Ze willen op deze manier laten zien dat het fenomeen echt bestaat en onderzoekswaardig is.
Op de foto is een lichtbol met een doorsnee van ongeveer 1,5 meter te zien op 30 meter hoogte. Het object bevindt zich op ongeveer 100 meter van de camera. De bol verlicht bovendien het aardoppervlak.
Onderzoekers spreken in het geval van Hessdalen overigens niet van een UFO, maar HP (Hessdalen Phenomenon) of UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon).
Dezelfde plaats
Het object is diverse keren op dezelfde plaats vastgelegd. Dat kan ons helpen begrijpen hoe deze lichtbollen ontstaan, aldus Bjorn Gitle Hauge en Anna-Lena Kjoriksen van het Østfold University College.
Ze hopen dat meer wetenschappers geïnteresseerd zullen raken in het fenomeen zodat ze het mysterie achter deze bollen verder kunnen ontrafelen.
Toen de wetenschappers, die de camera’s vanuit een tent in de gaten hielden, naar buiten renden was de lichtbol alweer verdwenen.
95 procent zeker
De bol verscheen niet op de volgende foto, die vijf seconden later was genomen.
De onderzoekers zijn er 95 procent zeker van dat het hier gaat om een foto van het Licht van Hessdalen. Ze hebben uitgesloten dat het gaat om een parhelium of een reflectie.
Ze proberen nu te achterhalen wat het dan wel is.
Het spookachtige lichtverschijnsel wordt al sinds 1941 gezien in Hessdalen. Een piek in het aantal meldingen lag tussen 1981 en 1984.
Witness describes disappearing object at tree top level
Witness describes disappearing object at tree top level
A California witness driving in an “extremely rural” area of Imperial County reported a late-night encounter with an object moving along at the tree top level, according to testimony in Case 82810 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was driving in rural Imperial County, CA, when the object was seen.

The witness was searching for a specific area at 2:30 a.m. when the incident occurred.
“I pulled to the side of a two-lane, paved road to check my GPS mapping,” the witness stated.“I observed two white lights traveling in a slow and seemingly aimless manor to my west between 10 and 30 degrees above the ground. The distance was hard to judge due to the darkness and terrain, however, my best estimate would be less than a mile.”
The witness got out of his vehicle and leaned against the front fender to smoke a cigarette.
“I watched curiously as the lights drifted and floated silently in the sky. I got back into my car and drove up the road approximately 100 yards in order to see if I might get a better perspective. Upon exiting my vehicle, the lights appeared a little closer, however, I still heard no sound coming from the direction of the lights.”
The object was observed at the tree top level. Pictured: Imperial County, CA.

Then the lights disappeared.
“Approximately 30 seconds later the lights simply disappeared. No bright flashes. No speeding off into the distance. They just vanished from my view. Puzzled, but not concerned, I stamped out my cigarette and got back into my car.”
But the witness was quickly startled again.
“Before I had a chance to start the engine, a man seemingly appeared out of nowhere behind the driver’s left rear of my car. I was quite startled by his sudden appearance, but for some reason I wasn’t frightened. He was dressed in dark clothing and I remember his shoes were noisy, like hard soles on gravel. Being startled as I was, I quickly said to him, ‘holy (deleted) dude, you just scared the crap out of me.’ He didn’t bend down to my window. He just stood there. Then he asked in a very casual manor if I needed directions. I told him that I was good and that I was just watching the lights. He didn’t say anything else. He just turned around and walked away as if he was returning his car.”
The object eventually vanished from view and the witness had an odd encounter with a man walking along the isolated roadway. Pictured: Imperial County, CA.

The witness tried to see where the man would go.
“I tried to watch in my mirror to see where he had pulled off the road, but there wasn’t anything like a vehicle that I could see, and he was no longer in sight. I started my car and drove off very confused about what had just happened. I have purposely omitted some details that I feel may seem like the ramblings of a crazy UFO nut or may put me in peril.”
The witness reports that the object’s lowest altitude was at the tree top level and that it appeared to be more than 500 feet away, but less than one mile away.
Imperial County, Texas, has a population of 174,528. California MUFON Field Investigator Linda Fletchtner is investigating. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

IN BRIEF
Another Google founder apparently has plans of building an aircraft. According to sources, the vehicle closely resembles a zeppelin and is currently housed at NASA's Ames Research Center.
While Larry Page was busy bringing his “flying car” to reality, another Google co-founder, Sergey Brin, was apparently on a similar path, trying to create a vehicle that will take to the skies as well.
However, unlike Page’s land/air hybrid vehicle, the Kitty Hawk Flyer, which could be introduced into the market as early as this year, Brin’s project is a giant airship resembling a zeppelin that’s currently housed at the NASA Ames Research Center. According to a report by Bloomberg, the project was spurred after Brin saw old photos of the USS Macon, an old airship built by the US Navy.
This particular prototype could have been created as part of a potential business venture — which would be timely, given that we’re at the cusp of airborne vehicles and flying taxi fleets becoming a reality. Or, it could be simply a passion project for Brin, who apparently has a long-standing fascination with airships. We just don’t know yet.
News of this project has piqued the curiosity of many. New airship technology could potentially help cut delivery and transport costs, given that it can accommodate massive amounts of cargo and be more fuel efficient. But whatever his intentions are for this project, Brin certainly has a few experienced friends he can tap for advice.
