WHERE SHOULD WE LOOK FOR ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM?

WHERE SHOULD WE LOOK FOR ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM?
The search for life in the Universe takes many paths. There’s SETI, or the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, which is searching for signals from a distant ancient civilization. There’s the exploration of our own Solar System, on Mars, or underneath the subsurface oceans of Europa and Enceladus, to see if life can be anywhere there’s liquid water and a source of energy. And upcoming space telescopes like James Webb will attempt to directly image the atmospheres of distant extrasolar planets, to see if they contain the distinct chemical signatures of life.
But according to Jason Wright, an astronomer at the Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds at Penn State University, we could consider searching for evidence of ancient civilizations right here on Earth, or across the Solar System. Don’t get excited, though, so far “there is zero evidence for prior indigenous species in the Solar System.”

In a paper, recently submitted to the arXiv electronic preprint archive entitled Prior Indigenous Technological Species, Dr. Wright describes how we might go about searching for the technological artifacts left behind by ancient civilizations that have evolved in the Solar System. Perhaps on an ancient, cooler Venus, or on Mars in a time when it was wetter and had a thicker atmosphere. Those civilizations could have arisen millions or even billions of years ago, destroyed themselves or left the Solar System, and only ancient traces of their culture and technology would still be around.
If a civilization had reached a high level of technology, where did it go? Wright suggests a variety of catastrophes, like a swarm of comets, self destruction, or even a nearby supernova explosion that irradiated the whole Solar System with high energy gamma rays. Even without a specific event, a civilization might have simply just died out, or became permanently non-technological. Of course, these possibilities face our own human civilization. It’s hard to read the paper and not consider the fate of humanity. Will future aliens search for scraps to learn about us?
Where should we look? According to Wright, Earth is the obvious, most habitable place in the Solar System, and it’ll be the easiest to search. Humans have dramatically changed the landscape of Earth. Our open pit mines, for example, are a clear indication that an intelligent species dug out a specific mineral from the ground. These might be obvious for millions of years, but over the course of billions of years, plate tectonics will have recycled those regions, absorbing the evidence back into the ground. Radioactive isotopes from ancient nuclear reactors, or fossils of ancient beings will have about the same lifespan. Beyond a few hundred million years, the Earth itself would have completely obscured any evidence of a technological civilization.

Venus is inhospitable today, but it might not have always been the case. Billions of years in the past, when the Sun was cooler, it might have had a thinner atmosphere and milder temperatures. It’s worth searching. That said, it appears that Venus has gone through major geological resurfacing events, where the entire planet’s surface turned inside out. Venus could easily hide its secrets.
Scientists are accumulating more and more evidence that Mars was warmer and wetter in the past, with eras when liquid water could exist on the surface for long periods of time. And unlike Earth and Venus, it doesn’t have active plate tectonics. Landscapes on the surface have remained there for billions of years. Well, okay, they’ve been pounded by meteorites, but they’re still there.
What should we be looking for? One idea is technological structures: ancient mining facilities, factories, even cities. On Mars, these structures could get covered by dust or worn down by erosion, so it’s entirely possible our space-based observations could have missed them. Even structures on asteroids and the Moon get eroded by micrometeorites wearing them down. Over the course of millions years, an ancient factory would look very similar to a small rocky outcrop. The real evidence could be hidden underground, safely protected from the surface erosion. We need more rovers and orbiters with ground penetrating radar to see below the surface.

There could be free-floating objects in the Solar System, like ancient space stations. Of course, if they’ve been abandoned long ago, they wouldn’t be functional, and that same micrometeorite erosion would have worn them down over the vast timescales. Furthermore, their orbits might not be stable, and could eventually crash into another world, or get kicked out of the Solar System entirely. Space stations out in the Kuiper Belt would be subject to less erosion, and better preserved over vast timescales. We need better telescopes and deeper surveys to answer this question.
The bottom line is that Dr. Wright doesn’t conclude there’s any evidence for ancient civilizations in the Solar System so far. But the reality is that we’ve only just begun to look. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which contains the most powerful telescope to ever travel away from the Earth has only mapped a few percent of the Martian surface at its highest resolution. Astronomers have only mapped a tiny fraction of the asteroids and comets zipping around the Solar System. And we’ve only had single glimpses at places in the outer Solar System, like Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
There’s so much more searching that needs to be done. But while we’re at it, we should keep an eye out for ancient civilizations. If we did find an old factory, space station, or even the dumping ground of a precursor species, it would be a boon to our knowledge.
And might just give us a warning; advanced knowledge of what the future holds for our own civilization.
Did Intelligent Space Aliens Once Live in Our Solar System?
Did Intelligent Space Aliens Once Live in Our Solar System?
by DAVID FREEMAN
A respected scientist says that if the existence of a home-grown intelligent alien species has never been established, it's never been ruled out either.

Was our solar system once home to an advanced civilization other than our own — perhaps one that predated humanity by hundreds of millions of years before being wiped out by an asteroid impact or some other cataclysm?
There's no evidence for such a pre-human indigenous technological species, though people have been speculating about one since ancient times. But a respected space scientist points out in a provocative new paper that if the existence of home-grown intelligent space aliens has never been established, it's never been ruled out either.
And if a race of smart and perhaps spacefaring aliens did make their home in our solar system, traces of their lost civilization might still be out there somewhere in the system just waiting for us to find them.
At least that's what the scientist, Penn State astrophysicist Dr. Jason T. Wright, argues in the paper, "Prior Indigenous Technological Species." The paper was posted on the online research archive ArXiv on April 24, 2017.
What sorts of traces does Wright have in mind? He's not saying we might dig up aliens' fossilized bones. Rather, he's talking about "technosignatures." The term encompasses a range of possible artifacts, including archaeological ruins and old mining operations as well as synthetic chemicals or nuclear isotopes that could have been created only by technological processes.
Wright argues that if a prior indigenous technological species did exist in our solar system, it might have arisen on Earth or a "pre-greenhouse" Venus, or on Mars when it still had flowing water.
NASA Discovers Four New Exoplanets That Could Possibly Sustain Life
But we're unlikely to find any artifacts from this species on Earth, he says, because surface erosion and the shifting tectonic plates on our planet would probably have erased them long ago (or changed them so dramatically that we might not recognize them as products of technology).
Similarly, any artifacts left on Venus would probably have been destroyed long ago by the planet's harsh atmosphere or the violent "resurfacing" the planet underwent hundreds of millions of years ago.
If any technosignatures were left on Mars, however, Wright believes they might still exist. But given the red planet's thick dust, he writes that "it is unlikely that artifacts might be obvious from space imagery, or even from the sort of shallow probing performed by the various Martian rovers."
In other words, just because the orbiters and rovers we've sent to Mars haven't turned up any technosignatures doesn't mean they're not there. They might simply be lying deep under the surface.
Other places to look for technosignatures include our moon (again, probably under the surface) and the rocky moons and asteroids of the outer solar system. And as Wright told NBC News MACH in an email, there might even be "large structures free-floating in space" — some sort of space stations left over from this hypothetical civilization.
What do other experts make of Wright's ideas?
Dr. Paul Horowitz, a research professor of physics and electrical engineering at Harvard University and a noted expert on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), praised the paper as "very nice" but cast doubt on the notion that our solar system might have been home to the kind of species Wright discusses.
"If I had to guess, I'd say it's highly unlikely, but not impossible, that an ancient civilization existed — probably even more unlikely we'll ever find evidence," Horowitz told MACH in an email.
In a separate email to MACH, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson called Wright's ideas "intriguing," but added with a measure of understatement that efforts to confirm the existence of another home-grown technological species would "require substantial upticks in our space exploration budgets."
Wright himself isn't actually calling for a massive new effort to look for evidence of the hypothetical species. But he does hope his paper has an impact on the way scientists think about the possibility of ancient intelligent life in our neck of the cosmic woods.
"I'd like people who think about ancient Earth — archaeologists and paleontologists — to consider how we can rule out a prior indigenous technological species," he said. "Before what [geologic] time are we sure that there was no complex life, no technology, on the surface of the Earth? I feel that planetary scientists can tell us how old the surfaces of Venus and Mars are, and how long artifacts should last."

Why Our Plans to Colonize the Universe Haven't Come to Fruition (Yet)
Experts believe three UFOs spotted in the sky could be a sign of an invisible alien spaceship moving above us.
Footage shows three orbs of light moving in formation, which experts believe could be the three corners of a triangular-shaped spaceship.
The UFOs in the clip, shared by experts at Secure Team 10 in America, start as small dots but soon become brighter.
The footage was filmed in Kentucky in the USA and sent in for analysis.
The three objects were spotted in a triangle formation
Tyler from Secure Team said: "This was captured on a night vision camera of three distinct objects moving in a perfect triangular formation, orbiting the planet it would seem."
He adds: "This is an amazing sighting, we see that these three objects, and I've watched this entire clip, these things stay locked into their position.
Experts believe there are more UFOs hiding in the sky in plain sight
"If you watch closely there are a couple of other UFOs moving in other directions.
"These UFOs are not able to be seen with the naked eye.
"It is only once you use these specialty devices that can actually detect things in this specific light, we start to realise just how many of these unknown objects are sitting above us in plain sight.
"And you would only know were there if you had some of these night vision goggles or tech."
“ The Hammer ” Supercomputer Deep State’s Secret Weapon Exposed
“ The Hammer ” Supercomputer Deep State’s Secret Weapon Exposed
The American Scandal Of The Millennium That Will Not Go Away
WiretapGate’s First Victims:
U.S. Intelligence Community,
the Mainstream Media,
and Democratic Party
The systematic criminal misuse of a heretofore secret supercomputer administered by the “national security state” has revealed several instances of treason in high places and sedition in low ones.
President Trump’s allegation that the Obama Administration was wiretapping him is not only supported by Montgomery’s whistleblower revelations about Brennan’s and Clapper’s computer system THE HAMMER, but also by statements made this week by William Binney, a former NSA Technical Director of the World Geopolitical and Military Analysis Reporting Group, by former CIA and State Department official Larry Johnson, and by Montgomery’s attorney Larry Klayman.
Computer expert Dennis Montgomery developed software programs that could breach secure computer systems and collect massive amounts of data.
That system, THE HAMMER, according to the audio tapes, accessed the phone calls, emails and bank accounts of millions of ordinary Americans.
The tapes also reveal that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court (FISA), Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, 156 other judges, members of Congress, and Donald J. Trump were targeted by the HAMMER.
One of the audio tapes made public by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow revealed that Brennan and Clapper particularly targeted and wiretapped Donald Trump a “zillion times.”
Truly, it doesn’t get any bigger than WiretapGate. This is the BIG one we’ve all been waiting for.
Yes, Pizzagate is much more radioactive, as is the much larger Pedogate. However, it’s clear that those two ongoing scandals will never break out into the MSM (mainstream media) — AS A SERIOUS NEWS STORY — until WiretapGate first explodes the Global Control Matrix.
The Global Control Matrix is both the overarching superstructure and hidden infrastructure by which the countless agents of Deep State execute their myriad schemes to maintain planetary command and control.
You see, such a multi-millennial conspiratorial plot really all comes down to intel. Especially good intel. Because whoever controls the flow of the intelligence worldwide effectively controls the world. Hence, the 17 intelligence agencies, which make up the U.S. Intelligence Community, always determine who the real king is, as well as who the kingmakers are. Actually, it is those who control the intel chiefs who pick the kings and queens, presidents and prime ministers around the world.
3 Pillars of Deep State
With this critical understanding, it ought to be clear that there is an epic war going on between the Trump Administration and Deep State. Deep State‘s three primary pillars are currently under massive assault by the Trump wrecking crew. The Company, as the C.I.A. is widely known in intelligence circles, as well as the NSA, are right in the crosshairs of Trump’s closest advisors. So are the MSM (Mainstream Media) and the FED (Federal Reserve System).
The sides of this war are not totally black and white. There are surely some white hats operating in the intelligence community, although the majority is likely wearing dark hats. That’s because they have all been ponerized over several decades. Likewise, there are undoubtedly an unknown number of dark hats furtively working inside of Team Trump.
Nevertheless, the general conflict which defines this intensifying “War of the Titans” clearly pits the globalist entity known as Deep State against the nationalistic patriot movement many call the “Trump Movement”. This war is quite global because the seeds of nationalist-driven revolutions have been sprouting across the Earth realm throughout this decade. Brexit and Grexit, Frexit and Nexit are just a few examples of this citizen’s liberation impulse manifesting worldwide, as was the election of Donald Trump.
Trump had no choice but to blow up WiretapGate
Because Deep State has refused to allow Donald Trump to govern as POTUS, much less carry out his several mandates, he was forced to expose WiretapGate. Had he chosen not to, his administration would have suffered death by a thousand cuts…as it is currently with the dramatic crash and burn of Ryancare.
Because there was such justifiable mutual suspicion between the spooks and the Trumpsters, the relationship got off to an extremely rocky start, as it was destined to. After all, the C.I.A. did everything in its power to seal a victory for the career arch-criminal and inveterate globalist Hillary Clinton. She was Deep State’s selected heir to the treasonous Barack Hussein Obama, who was just as certain to give the C.I.A. everything it ever wanted like BHO did.
Key Point:The C.I.A., together with the MSM and the FED, form the very backbone of Deep State. This triad has many functions but its essential task, which is assigned by the World Shadow Government (WSG), is the efficient maintenance of the perpetual war economy. To do that effectively the WSG must exercise strict control over all agents of Deep State, especially those who are in key positions of political power. Hence, the 17 intelligence agencies, working in concert with the major MSM news outlets, keep the politicians, key appointees and other government officials in check. The FED is also used to exert financial pressure as needed to produce specific political and economic outcomes.
“The Hammer” Supercomputer: Tool for CIA/NSA Sedition
As far as the primary intelligence tools are concerned, a top-secret supercomputer known as “The Hammer” is as good as it gets. This exceedingly powerful and unusually capable supercomputer is hidden away deep in the bowels of the Military-Industrial Complex. Until fairly recently no one even knew “The Hammer” existed, just as many other similar advanced IT technologies remain hidden. Because of how it’s routinely utilized by intel heads, there is very good reason why the “Masters of Intelligence” have kept “The Hammer” highly classified.
President Obama’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper and his Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Brennan oversaw a secret supercomputer system known as “THE HAMMER,” according to former NSA/CIA contractor-turned whistleblower Dennis Montgomery.
Clapper and Brennan were using the supercomputer system to conduct illegal and unconstitutional government data harvesting and wiretapping. THE HAMMER was installed on federal property in Fort Washington, Maryland at a complex which some speculate is a secret CIA and NSA operation operating at a US Naval facility.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, there’s no putting it back in. Nationalist leaders worldwide are quietly going ballistic at how this “patently unlawful spying and surveillance regime” has been aimed at every perceived enemy of Deep State. They know it’s also being used against their powerful friends and influential collaborators–24/7–and that there’s nothing they can do about it. The whole world now knows that the American Republic has fallen prey to this totalitarian tactic of control of its political class. Hence, the illusion of a constitutional republic in the form of democracy USA has been forever shattered.
There is no question about the existence and illegal use of “The Hammer”, as some in intelligence circles have insinuated otherwise. However, what’s even more curious is how the CIA-controlled MSM has gone out of its way to maintain Washington’s dirty little secret. This conspiratorial behavior by the Fourth Estate is not only highly incriminating, it speaks directly to an organized plot to overthrow the Trump Administration. However, it is the rogue elements within the U.S. Intelligence Community who are most responsible for running this black operation on American soil.
WiretapGate: A soft coup enabled by foreign intelligence services
The only thing that WiretapGate and Watergate have in common is that they both begin with “W”. Outside of that, WiretapGate makes Watergate look like a walk in the park. The fact of the matter is that WiretapGate is so serious because it implicates so many high-level Obama Administration officials and members of the U.S. Intelligence Community in a highly coordinated criminal scheme to sabotage Donald Trump’s candidacy for POTUS.
If that’s not serious enough, this conspiratorial plot also involves the secret services and intelligence agencies of foreign nations. Each entity was specifically chosen in order for the perps to present “plausible deniability” during a potential investigative process–an anticipated eventuality which became a reality. More significantly, foreign assets were employed to basically commit sedition against a sitting POTUS, as they have been enlisted to commit treason in the past.
Hence, it can be said with absolute certainty that the entire US intelligence apparatus made Team Trump the target of unprecedented spying and surveillance. And, that the United Kingdom’s GCHQ was the prime mover and go-to organization for the real sensitive stuff that was done in this regard. The Brits are the absolute best for denying their obvious law-breaking with a perfectly straight face. There is no doubt that much of this black operation was farmed out to GCHQ for the sake of plausible deniability…which is exactly the way it turned out.
In light of these earth-shattering revelations, it’s now incumbent upon President Trump to really begin to drain the Swamp, especially the one inside the Beltway. There simply is no other alternative at this point since the CIA swamp monsters will only retreat from the spotlight “temporarily” to lick their wounds (EXPOSED: CIA – The Swamp Monsters). More dangerous to Team Trump, however, is that the C.I.A. et al. will further consolidate their power, which has been unlawfully arrogated to itself based upon the false pretext of ‘national security’.
This is precisely why the false allegations of a “Russian election hack” with Team Trump collaboration were floated in the first place. The top-tier of leadership within Deep State knew that it would need a very strong justification to ‘wiretap’ Trump. So, they simply fabricated one. That’s why the MSM echo chamber nonsensically makes stuff up about Russia–to keep the fictitious story alive for as long as possible.[1] Only in this way can the intel heads continue to this very day to ‘wiretap’ Trump. And then transmit false data to the MSM which reflexively produces and disseminates the daily fake news about Team Trump.
MAJESTIC-12: A FORBIDDEN STORY ABOUT THE SECRET U.S. UFO COMMITTEE
MAJESTIC-12: A FORBIDDEN STORY ABOUT THE SECRET U.S. UFO COMMITTEE
Majestic 12 (MJ-12) is the nickname given to a secret group (scientists/military/government) of paranormal researchers- widely theorized by popular UFO conspiracy claims. Who was this secret group? Where did this secret group come from? Is this secret group true? What evidence did they find? How much does our government know?
The government must have had an inkling to round a search party. MJ 12 was organized by then President Truman in 1947. Rumors of MJ12 began when the FBI investigated leaked documentation regarding secret alien life capture- and deemed it false. The public did not trust the FBI and displayed their belief that the leaked proof was indeed authentic.
The infamous leaked eight pages are directly linked to the notorious Roswell Incident. At that time there were already whispers of a government cover-up. The eight pages were actually photos of eight pages of documents that were received anonymously by a high ranking UFO Explorer. The first page mentions the three words, Operation Majestic Twelve, hence the formation of the nickname, Majestic 12. The second image was of the names of the twelve members. On page three comes the bombshell, news of the actual possession of a crashed alien Warcraft- and a genuine alien life form.
The papers go on to detail the involvement and ongoing cover-up by government officials. Truman supposedly knew about the alien crash and sent Defense Secretary Forrestal to keep house. The genuine nature of these documents is believed by many because of Truman's orders to keep civil obedience a top priority. Letting fears of civil unrest take precedence over the right of the public to know the truth.
There are several reasons why many people doubt the authenticity of this documentation. Military time is commonly used by the military; these papers were typed with the time in regular/civilian time. Another theory claims misuse of the title admiral when the correct term is "rear admiral." There are also a few words that do not date back to the 40’s- when this document was allegedly written.
On the other hand, the twelve signatures on this classified sworn secret project. Were all verified as authentic. It was an extremely powerful group of people, Majestic 12. CIA, top politicians, and respected scientists. Whoever masterminded the creation of this group knew what they were doing. How much the government knows and does not know will always be up for discussion.
According to information from Russia knows about extraterrestrial civilizations over several decades, so for many it is not surprising that such rumors are circulating for many years. Russia’s first contact with the gray aliens allegedly occurred in 1942. At that time, were planned series of diplomatic visits to discuss issues of mutual interest – by alleged Russian documents and agreements that have been created
According to the document, 072 / E at meeting the 1961 incident occurred that involved three entities for breach of contract officers army base, when they discovered that their arrival was filmed hidden devices without their consent. Based on the agreement were 23/04 confidential meetings and filming or taking pictures was not allowed.
According to the Truth KGB allegedly special unit designed to collect and monitor all kinds of information regarding the mysterious and unexplained phenomena that report back inside, and inside the Soviet Union.
The Siberian taiga is perhaps as unspoiled and unexplored as the Amazon jungle. More than 100,000 square kilometers of western Yakutia are completely uninhabited, devoid of any sort of trails. The human foot treads on this area very rarely. It’s a thick forest growth with uprooted trees and sprawling swamps with swarms of mosquitoes. In short, an ideal birthplace for myths and legends about strange creatures and anomalous zones where bizarre things happen.
The local wild man Chuchuna may not even be anything exceptional; the most attention is given to a peculiar legend about the Valley of Death and its “cauldrons”. Nomadic Evenki, Yakutians and lone hunters who happened to wander into these territories have for long discovered odd houses shaped like red hemispheres protruding from the perpetually frozen ground.
The formations were smooth, with an opening at the top, with a winding stairwell leading to a circular gallery with numerous metal rooms. Despite outdoor temperatures of forty below, it was pleasantly warm inside.
RIDLEY SCOTT : ' ALIENS EXIST AND THEY'RE A LOT SMARTER THAN US. DON'T CHALLENGE THEM! '
RIDLEY SCOTT : ' ALIENS EXIST AND THEY'RE A LOT SMARTER THAN US. DON'T CHALLENGE THEM! '
Ridley Scott is one of the most famous creators of Aliens and he believes that they are really out there and says that one day when they are ready they are going to come. The director spoke up and said that it is ridiculous to think that humans are alone in the universe and he firmly believes that one-day superior beings are going to pay a visit to Earth. The director was talking as he prepares for the release of Alien: Covenant.
"SUPERIOR BEINGS WILL VISIT EARTH, EXPERT AT NASA AGREES"
He made the following comments on extraterrestrial life:
“I believe in superior beings. I think it is certainly likely. An expert I was talking to at NASA said to me, ‘Have you ever looked in the sky at night? You mean to tell me we are it?’ That’s ridiculous.
The experts have now put a number on it having assessed what is out there. They say that there are between 100 and 200 entities that could be having a similar evolution to us right now. So when you see a big thing in the sky, run for it.”
Ridley's “Xenomorph” and “chestburster” alien creatures have terrified his fans for nearly 40 years.
Alien: Covenant is the second in the list of prequel movies and it has a setting during the year of 2104 on a spacecraft that is carrying 2,000 colonists who have been cryogenically frozen while traveling to a distant planet when they come across what they believe is uncharted paradise. However, as you might expect from Ridley Scott, the voyage soon becomes a nightmare full of gore that will have those watching think nothing of the alien bursting out of the chest of the man in the original movie.
"WE SHOULD NOT MESS WITH REAL-LIFE ALIENS"
He explained:
“They are a lot smarter than we are. If you are stupid enough to challenge them, you will be taken out in three seconds.”
Finally, he joked:
“Nothing scares me.I have a 9mm (pistol).
Scott went on to say that he could not believe all the terror that he had managed to create when he saw the reactions of those who had watched the original movies. He said that people were hiding half under their seats by the time the kitchen scene where the alien pushed its way out of the chest of John Hurt. Scott, on the other hand, claims to be un-shockable, he bragged that nothing scared him, he did admit to being nervous though when walking onto the set of a film and there are 600 plus people all looking at you.
Whether the alien life form that Scott believes is going to be making its way to Earth at some point in time will be anything like the aliens Scott created remains to be seen, but it’s hoped they are friendlier.
“ALIEN: COVENANT” WILL OPEN NATIONWIDE IN CINEMAS ON MAY 19.
De ruimte tussen de planeet Saturnus en zijn kenmerkende ringen lijkt "relatief stof-vrij" te zijn, zo heeft het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau NASA gisteren meegedeeld.
De verbazende vondst gaat terug op data die de Amerikaanse Saturnusverkenner Cassini heeft vergaard. Die maakte vorige week de eerste "duik" ooit tussen de planeet en de ringen. Volgens projectmanager Earl Maze is het gebied blijkbaar "de grote leegte".
Dat kan goed nieuws zijn voor de Cassini. Want de onbemande sonde kan dan bij enkele van de 21 volgende duiken zijn schotelvormige antenne gebruiken als schild tegen stofdeeltjes.
De Cassini is in 1997 samen met de Europese sonde Huygens gelanceerd. De aankomst bij Saturnus was in 2004, de Huygens is succesvol geland op de Saturnusmaan Titan, de grootste maan van ons zonnestelsel. De Cassini zal zich in september te pletter gooien op Saturnus.

NA ITALIË IS BEROEMDE GRONINGSE UFO NU BOVEN INDIA GEZIEN...
NA ITALIË IS BEROEMDE GRONINGSE UFO NU BOVEN INDIA GEZIEN...
Het begint er langzamerhand op te lijken dat een bijzonder soort UFO onze planeet bezoekt.
Nadat deze UFO voor het eerst in Groningen werd waargenomen, volgen er nu meer plaatsen, waaronder Italië en India.
Het begon in de zomer van 2015 toen deze UFO voor het eerst werd waargenomen in Groningen waarvan het beeld vervolgens de wereld rondging.
Daarna werd dezelfde UFO onlangs gezien in Italië en nu komt er bij Mufon een melding binnen van een groepje kampeerders die een bijzondere foto hebben gemaakt.
Ze geven er geen details bij, behalve dat de foto is gemaakt in het Dang District in Gujarat, India.
De waarneming staat bij Mufon geregistreerd onder nummer 83441. Wat we niet weten, is of deze waarneming ook met het blote oog te zien was, waardoor het in theorie een soort lensflare zou kunnen zijn.
Het is een bijzondere foto:
Rechts bovenin de foto zie je iets wat in eerste instantie een vallende ster lijkt, maar niets is minder waar.
Want, wanneer het beeld iets wordt uitvergroot, komt er een bekende vorm tevoorschijn.
Een vorm die we eerder tegenkwamen in Groningen en Italië.
Ter vergelijking, hier een deel uit een eerder artikel en dan zie je dat we hier duidelijk te maken hebben met hetzelfde soort object.
Een object dat voor zover ons bekend voor Groningen niet eerder op onze aarde is waargenomen. Mocht er iemand zijn die denkt dat dit niet zo is en dat er eerder dit soort waarnemingen zijn geweest, dan horen we dat graag.
UFO liefhebbers zullen zich het voorval van enkele jaren geleden nog wel kunnen herinneren, maar voor hen die het niet meer weten, hierbij, uit een eerder artikel, wat er in Groningen gebeurde:
Perton is een Groninger die nogal nuchter blijft onder dit soort dingen en denkt dat de vreemde foto te maken heeft met lichtval of iets dergelijks, wat best zou kunnen.
Echter, ook internationaal is deze foto niet onopgemerkt gebleven en zijn er mensen die zich afvragen of we hier de eerste echte afbeelding hebben van een portaal naar een andere dimensie.
Opeens flitste er iets. Ik dacht eerst mijn toestel, maar de flitskap stond niet omhoog. Ook zat er geen druppel op mijn lens. Ik besloot dat het een bliksem moest zijn geweest. Maar thuis zie ik wat vreemds op een van de foto’s die ik aan het eind van het bomenlaantje maakte.
We zijn nu twee jaar later en iemand maakte op 3 april 2017 een vergelijkbare foto, maar nu in het noorden van Italië.
Perton is geen sterrenkundige, dus heeft hij voor de zekerheid Theo Jurriëns (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen) ook nog ingeschakeld. 'Hij belde met het KNMI en die zei dat het een drone was. Maar dat vind ik vreemd. Want wie laat nou zo'n kostbare drone tegen onweer aanvliegen?'
En ongetwijfeld zal het object uit Italië worden geclassificeerd als een nieuw soort drone wolk door onze weerexperts.

ESA’s JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission to the Jovian system could easily confirm the presence of water on Europa, a new studyfinds. According to the research, it is feasible to detect water molecules (H2O) and water ions (H2O+) from the moon’s plumes during a flyby mission.
The suspected water vapor plumes erupting on Jupiter’s moon Europa are still baffling scientists in the search for habitable environments in our solar system.
It is assumed that Europa harbors a vast subsurface liquid ocean and these plumes could be an indicator of water erupting from the moon’s interior. Hence, they offer a great opportunity to gather samples originating from under the thick layer of ice, where many mysteries of extraterrestrial life may await to be unraveled.
These composite images show a suspected plume of material erupting two years apart from the same location on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. The images bolster evidence that the plumes are a real phenomenon, flaring up intermittently in the same region on the satellite.

Recent observations of Europa with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) show a plume rising about 62 miles (100 kilometers) above the surface. Researchers estimate these plumes could rise even 125 miles (200 kilometers) before raining material back down onto the icy surface.
According to a new study conducted by a team of European scientists, these plumes should be thoroughly investigated by a future flyby mission like JUICE in order to confirm the presence of water.
In a recent paper, the researchers studied the feasibility of in-situ measurements of Europa’s plumes, by modeling the trajectories of neutral and ionized plume particles and the respective measurements by neutral and ion mass spectrometers.
“Instead of using ‘photons’ as Hubble does, we will use in-situ particle data,” Yoshifumi Futaana, Co-Investigator of the JUICE/PEP instrument at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics told Astrowatch.net. “This means that we will validate the presence of water independently using the in-situ data. JUICE is the mission that can do this as it will be equipped with the Particle Environment Package (PEP) instrument suitable for this measurement.”
PEP is a plasma package with six sensors to characterize the plasma environment. It will measure density and fluxes of positive and negative ions, exospheric neutral gas, thermal plasma, and energetic neutral atoms.
The package will include the Jovian plasma Dynamics and Composition (JDC) sensor, measuring water ions, and the Neutral gas and Ions Mass spectrometer (NIM) sensor, measuring water molecules.
Futaana and his colleagues are convinced that the particles of the low mass flux plumes (1 kilogram per second) can be detected by PEP with large margins. Furthermore, the results of their study suggest the plume signal is recognizable as a temporal signal enhancement of one order of magnitude in the H2O count rate during six minutes. This means the detection of water plumes during a flyby is indeed feasible.

“Our paper shows that the plumes can be detected from the JUICE flybys with particle instruments that detect [water] particles in the vicinity of the spacecraft,” Hans Huybrighs of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, one of the co-authors of the paper, told SpaceFlight Insider. “This is the case even if the plume is significantly smaller than what has been observed. With this, we mean that the plumes in our work only release one kilogram of water per second, while the very first plume observation indicated 7,000 kilograms of water is released per second.”
The authors of the study underline that even in the case of relatively very small water plumes, the water atoms dissociating from the molecules, as well as their ions, make significant signals. So far, Hubble observations of the plumes detected only atomic oxygen. Given the amount of oxygen and other considerations it was concluded these oxygen atoms must arise from dissociated water molecules.
“This would also explain the observed spatial features, which were interpreted as a plume,” Peter Wurz of the University of Bern in Switzerland told Astrowatch.net. “Even though it is all very plausible, and is not contested in the scientific community, it is an interpretation. PEP on JUICE will be able to confirm this interpretation and provide a lot of additional data to understand the nature of the plume, its composition, and its relation to the subsurface of Europa’s ice shell, which is mostly water ice.”
The researchers have also shown the geometry of the plume source does not influence the density distributions, therefore it will not affect their detectability when using PEP. They said that it makes no difference whether it is a point source or a several-hundred-mile-long crack.
All in all, JUICE, equipped with the PEP instrument, has the potential to take a peek at Europa’s subsurface ocean without drilling into the moon’s icy shell. This ocean could hold many clues to mysteries of life beyond Earth.
“What is so interesting about this ocean is that it has probably been there for a long time,” Huybrighs said, “and that there could be sources of energy for life in it, like geothermal vents on the bottom of the ocean, making Europa’s ocean a very interesting environment that is possibly habitable for some form of life.”
The JUICE mission is planned to be launched in 2022. The spacecraft will perform two flybys of Europa in early 2031. During these flybys, JUICE is expected to approach Europa up to a height of about 250 miles (400 kilometers).
Ridley Scott is at the helm of a nearly 40-year franchise of films about killer aliens who are smarter and deadlier than us. It’s not a coincidence, since Scott thinks that could happen in real life.
In an interview with Sky News, Scott mentioned that he believes in aliens, or what he called “superior beings.” This isn’t exactly surprising. Not only has Scott spent a large portion of his career creating movies about aliens (the latest being Alien: Covenant, which comes out May 10), but a majority of people agree with him. A YouGov poll from 2015 showed that over half of Americans, Britons, and Germans believe in extraterrestrials, and another poll showed four out of five Canadians do too.
“An expert I was talking to at NASA said to me, ‘Have you ever looked in the sky at night? You mean to tell me we are it?’ That’s ridiculous,” Scott said, adding that he thinks there are at least 100 to 200 similar species out there right now.
However, Scott doesn’t think they’d be waving the white flag of peace right away. While many of us would like to believe there are Vulcans circling the galaxy waiting for Zephran Cochrane to invent warp drive, Scott thinks any aliens we encounter would probably try to blow our brains out— at least if we provoked them. So, it’d definitely be more of an Independence Day-type situation. Let’s hope Will Smith’s character can come back from the dead.
“When you see a big thing in the sky, run for it. Because they are a lot smarter than we are, and if you are stupid enough to challenge them you will be taken out in three seconds,” Scott said.
I’d be curious to see whether Scott believed in aliens first, leading to him making the first Alien film, or whether his work on the series led to his faith in extraterrestrial life. It’s really a chicken or the egg scenario— or, if you want to get technical, face-hugger or the egg.
TRIANGLE UFO SENSATION: Craft built by US government using alien technology says expert
TRIANGLE UFO SENSATION: Craft built by US government using alien technology says expert
EXCLUSIVE: A SPATE of bizarre triangle UFO sightings could be top secret craft built by the US government using technology recovered from crashed flying saucers, an expert has claimed.
Triangle UFOs, like this CGI impression, have been seen all over the USA.
Express.co.uk has been reporting on the phenomena of odd-triangular UFOs which have been spotted across the United states.
The reports are often eerily similar, leading to speculation the bizarre sightings could be REAL alien craft.
Many reports tell of a silent triangle shape, defined by a series of lights, that are said to be in some cases as big as a football field, moving slowly across the sky.
Now a top UFO expert has explained how they could be experimental craft built by the US Air Force in top secret locations like Area 51 in the Nevada desert, using technology from allegedly crashed UFOs.
There is a widespread conspiracy theory aliens do exist and visit Earth, and that they have crash landed, like during the alleged flying saucer incident just outside Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947.
The theory claims that the government has secretly tried to recreate the technology so that it can be used to its advantage.
Steve Bassett, of Paradigm Research Group, is the only registered lobbyist in the US on the subject of alien disclosure.
Disclosure activists want to bring about an end to a so-called "truth embargo" and force the government to tell all about alien visitations of Earth.
My theory that there are so many reports of triangular UFOs is that they could be ones that we have developed using reverse engineered alien technology.
Steve Bassett
In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, Mr Bassett gave his theory on the spate of triangle UFOs which has continued.
He said: "My theory that there are so many reports of triangular UFOs is that they could be ones that we have developed using reverse engineered alien technology.
"It may be that the USAF has not been able to get the anti-gravity system used in disc-shaped saucers to work in a craft of the same shape, but they can get it to work in a triangular craft so have adapted it.
"This is what I think a lot of the triangle UFOs could be - something built by humans."
But he believes some triangle UFOs could also be extraterrestrial craft.
Donald Trump's hotline for receiving illegal immigrant tip offs got UFO calls instead.
Mr Trump launched an immigration hotline for people to reported suspected 'illegal aliens' in the US.
But, it appears many people got the wrong end of the stick or have been making deliberate hoax calls.
On its opening day, there were mass calls reporting alien and UFO sightings.
Set up amid much controversy, the VOICE hotline launched last week was a bid to tackle and stem illegal immigration.
The new hotline, under the Department of Homeland Security, aims to help "victims and their families who have been impacted by crimes committed by removable criminal aliens".
If any of you need to report space aliens to our government, please call their hotline: 1-855-48-VOICE. Here are some of their Most Wanted.
Steven Santos
Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly said: “Until today, those victimised at the hands of illegal aliens have had no point of contact in our federal government dedicated to this issue and to them.
"Families would call and would send letters all over Washington hoping that someone in some agency would respond.”
But, instead there has been a mass of UFO-related activity.
Twitter users have been trolling the phone number with reports of extraterrestrials.
Steven Santos tweeted: "If any of you need to report space aliens to our government, please call their hotline: 1-855-48-VOICE. Here are some of their Most Wanted."
Jordan said: "The truth IS out there! If you've been probed by illegal extraterrestrial aliens, call 1-855-48-VOICE & let them know."
Anti-Trump activists rallied on social media under the hashtag #AlienDay to encourage others to flood the hotline with UFO calls.
Alexander McCoy tweeted: "Wouldn't it be a shame if millions of people called this hotline to report their encounters with aliens of the UFO-variety."
The real use of the hotline has been strongly criticised by opponents.
Brent Wilkes, head the of League of United Latin American Citizens, said: “This just continues the campaign strategy Donald Trump employed to vilify immigrants and identify them with a small number of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants.”

UFO Caught Near Space Station, Classic Saucer On NASA camera! April 29, 2017, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Caught Near Space Station, Classic Saucer On NASA camera! April 29, 2017, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 29, 2017 Location of sighting: Space Station Source: MUFON #83465 This is a classic disk style craft that an anonymous person reported this week. Caught on the live NASA space station cam, UFOs are seen every few hours, and even every few minutes during space walks. NASA has become so paranoid about it that they often cut to blue screen or maintenance screen in an attempt to hide these UFOs, but there are just too many. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
On april 29th at around 21:06 g.m.t for around 10-15 seconds during a live stream of the international space station I observed a faint light which got lighter before appearing as two whitish lights before materialising into what I can only descibe as a "flying saucer" the event (which I was hoping would happen) only lasted 10-15 secs which i managed to screenshot the photos on my iphone I know what this wasnt and would hope somebody else has this footage on video.
Jellyfish UFO Over Angeles City, Philippines On May 1, 2017, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Jellyfish UFO Over Angeles City, Philippines On May 1, 2017, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 1, 2017 Location of sighting: Angeles City, Philippines Source: MUFON #83456 This jellyfish style UFO was seen over the Philippines this week. The UFO has long tendrils which are probably landing legs, but may be arms. The Philippines is a diverse and old cultural area where aliens may find it unique compared to the rest of the world. The person reported three photos, but only two were semi focused. Extraordinary evidence that aliens are observing the Philippines. Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
First I will state that being a U.S. Marine, I'm a trained observer. I had already been well awake by 3am and had coffee and was on the computer, when approximately 5:40am I heard my dogs carrying on outside and went to investigate. At first I thought they had barked at nothing, when I suddenly caught sight of the object, I watched it only for 30 seconds or so before realizing that it wasn't a plane, helicopter, or hot air balloon and ran into the house and grabbed my cell phone as it was the closest camera available. The object first appeared to be about 700 ft high, but as the object had moved into the background of my house it appeared to be gaining altitude and I snapped three photos as it passed beyond the peak of the roof over my bedroom, moving in a South or South East direction towards Manila. The object made no sound at all, and it had no visable lights of any kind, it seemed to be moving about the same speed as a small plane at first and was completely out of sight in about 3 minutes or less, apparently gaining speed. When I first looked at the pics, I though I missed it, as it looked like a speck of dust or dirt, I then downloaded them to my desktop computer and cropped the photos, and then I could see better detail. I was a bit stunned when saw it, as I had never seen any craft like this before, and it clearly had a some type of leg structure for landing. Three pics were taken, and numbered in the order taken, the best being the first pic.
Do aliens exist? Are humans the only sentient species in the universe? Is there extra-terrestrial life? Are we alone?
It's one of humanity's most all-consuming questions, fascinating scientists, governments and pop culture alike.
But now, one US space scientist is claiming that advanced life forms may be a reality - but that they disappeared long ago.
Professor Jason Wright, an astronomy and astrophysics professor at Pennsylvania State University, published a paper in arXiv entitled 'Prior Indigenous Technological Species'.
He claims that ancient 'technological species' may have lived on Earth billions of years before the human race.
Well, either Earth, or a "pre-greenhouse Venus," or "a wet Mars". He's not 100 per cent sure.
However, Wright claims:
Given that it is known to host complex life, the most obvious origin for a prior species of any sort is Earth.
He pulls no punches when he explains that:
Present-day Venus would seem to be a terrible candidate for a technological species, with a surface temperature over 700K, although when it comes to alien life we should keep an open mind about even this.
Wright believes that the ancient species has disappeared, but that in the past we could have found found traces of them underground, called "technosignatures".
However, he claims that most of the physical evidence would now be lost.
On Venus, for example, the global greenhouse arrival may have resulted in a resurfacing of the planet, while on Earth the movement of tectonic plates and subsequent erosion could have erased any lingering traces.
Nevertheless, he writes, it might still be possible to recognise these technosignatures even if the physical evidence is all but destroyed.
He explains:
Structures buried beneath surfaces might survive and be discoverable as long as they do not suffer a collision so severe that their artificial nature is obliterated.
Merely destroying them would render them nonfunctional, but they might still be recognisably technological.
We might conjecture that settlements or bases on these objects would have been built beneath the surface for a variety of reasons, and so still be discoverable today.
Wright proposes that we might find traces on more undisturbed surfaces such as the Moon and Mars.
Of course, the idea that humans are not the only sentient species is nothing new.
Indeed, he writes, "the idea of indigenous Martian civilisations pervades science fiction to the point of cliche".
However, the proposal that the alien species is already extinct is comparatively unexplored in the scientific field.
But why does Wright think they disappeared?
Wright says that "the most obvious answer" is a cataclysm, "whether a natural event such as an extinction-level asteroid impact, or self-inflicted, such as a global climate catastrophe".
However, in the case of a species which had settled in the Solar System, Wright explains:
...Such an event would only permanently extinguish the species if there were many cataclysms across the Solar System closely spaced in time (a swarm of comets, or interplanetary warfare perhaps), or if the settlements were not completely self-sufficient.
Alternatively, an unexpected nearby gamma ray burst or supernova might produce a Solar-System-wide cataclysm.
Even without a cataclysm, the species may have simply died out, or become permanently non-technological at some point, or [...] abandoned the Solar System permanently for some reason.
New research suggests that life could jump from one planet to another in the closely-packed TRAPPIST system in as little as 10 years
(Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Back in February, NASA announced the discovery of seven Earth-sized exoplanets orbiting the nearby red dwarf star, TRAPPIST-1. With three of those planets orbiting within the star's Habitable Zone (HZ), the system is one of our best bets for finding life beyond Earth, and new research from the University of Chicago suggests that if it is there, life could jump between the tightly-packed planets in a matter of decades.
At a distance of 40 light-years away, the TRAPPIST-1 system's planets aren't our closest possible homes-away-from-home – that honor goes to Proxima b, a galactic stone's throw away at just four light-years. But what makes TRAPPIST-1 such an attractive prospect for extraterrestrial life is the fact that all seven planets are in extremely close proximity to each other, so if life arises on one planet, it could spread to the others relatively quickly.
"Frequent material exchange between adjacent planets in the tightly packed TRAPPIST-1 system appears likely," says Sebastiaan Krijt, lead author of the study. "If any of those materials contained life, it's possible they could inoculate another planet with life."
While Earth is the only planet we know for sure is home to life, it didn't necessarily start here. The seeds of life, in the form of microscopic organisms, may have been brought to our planet by asteroids or comets – a hypothesis known as panspermia. On the other hand there's lithopanspermia, the idea that chunks of rock carrying tiny organisms could be thrown into space by these cosmic collisions, spreading that life to other planets.
But for this to work, a few factors need to be considered. The pieces of rock ejected into space would need to be large enough to protect the organisms from cosmic radiation, and even then, the journey to their new home would need to be relatively short, to keep the space travellers alive. And the speed at which the rocks are flung into space also needs to be just right: too fast and the lifeforms wouldn't survive the trip, too slow and the rocks would fall back to the planet's surface.
Running a series of simulations on these events, the researchers set out to determine how likely the scenario could be in the TRAPPIST system. The team found that rocks large enough to protect any hitchhiking organisms during space travel and re-entry would also tend to leave their home planet at a speed just above the minimum required to break free. Given how close together the system's planets are, the researchers concluded that this process could take place pretty quickly, seeding life from one world to another in as little as 10 years.
"Given that tightly packed planetary systems are being detected more frequently, this research will make us rethink what we expect to find in terms of habitable planets and the transfer of life — not only in the TRAPPIST-1 system, but elsewhere," says Fred Ciesla, co-author of the study. "We should be thinking in terms of systems of planets as a whole, and how they interact, rather than in terms of individual planets."
Columnist Cheryl Costa looks at how UFO sightings vary during different seasons.
People have been asking if my wife and co-author, Linda Miller Costa, and I had made any discoveries when we were researching our book, UFO Sightings Desk Reference: United States of America 2001-2015. We actually made a number of previously unknown discoveries about the observation of UFOs, including a significant one called the “month pattern.”
Since I started writing the New York Skies blog, I have found that New York experiences a high season for UFO sightings, June through September, peaking in July and August. My assumption, and the conjecture from many readers, suggested that this was a fair weather pattern. Nicer weather gave a better opportunity for more observers to be outside for a chance to see a UFO. We also took for granted that the every place would have a pattern like this.
When my wife was laying out the book, she began to notice that there were different monthly patterns in certain states. She also noted that they seemed to be latitude dependent. In Northern states, the observer pattern followed a strong rise during the summer months.
Linda also noted that in mid-Southern states, the monthly pattern with high numbers of summer season sightings began to level out with the year-round baseline of sightings. This is nicely illustrated in our monthly chart for Maryland.We observed this pattern of the mid-South, flattening on states across the country that are at the same general latitude.
Finally, as we moved into the deep Southern states, we discovered that UFO sighting reports leveled out and became a generally flat baseline, as we see in our Arizona monthly chart.
New hypothesis: If the seasonal weather is generally mild, more people are outside and can be observers. Also take into account the weekend phenomena, that most people have weekends off. Our data observation suggests the concept that moderate weather and regularly scheduled leisure time are conducive to outdoors activity and affects the observation of Unidentified Flying Objects.
There are some subtle variations in the pattern. For instance Florida, while it has the general flattened characteristics of other deep Southern states, we see significant sighting spikes in the winter months. We have attributed this to the migration of people to Florida in the winter months. Again, this is all supposing the postulation that temperate weather and leisure time are conducive for sky watching and possible UFO observation.
