The Upside In Transmitting Messages To Extraterrestrials
The Upside In Transmitting Messages To Extraterrestrials
Officially, humanity has not found any proof of space alien existence despite many years of searching in the cosmos. However, if Earthlings succeed in encountering alien species, will the aliens be hostile, indifferent, or a little nice?
Dough Vakoch of METI International, a group of scientists that has been sending radio signals out into the void in an attempt to communicate with alien life, says that it is challenging to second-guess alien motivations. SETI scientists have often assumed ETs that will make contact have survived long enough and overcome any warlike traits during the process of their evolution.
akoch explains that if space aliens have not learned to behave nicely with others, they will not have survived at least thousands of years necessary to be a stable interstellar civilization.
Stephen Hawking has warned about transmitting messages to aliens. He said that intelligent aliens might come to Earth to strip mine. However, Vakoch does not think Hawking’s theory is realistic as it makes no economic sense the idea of aliens traveling across the galaxy to look for something that can be found in their backyard. Second, according to Vakoch, a civilization that can traverse the distances between the stars may already know about our presence, so scientists do not expose our lives to any additional threats in transmitting intentional signals. Vakoch further explains that there is, in fact, an upside to sending such messages and that is to intrigue the aliens about humanity and make a reply.
The small town of Varginha, in the state of Minas Gerais, is not particularly pretty. It has no touristic attractions. Actually, Varginha could very well cross history without ever being noticed by the rest of Brazil – let alone the world. That changed on January 20, 1996, when the town became the stage of the most famous Brazil UFO incident.
Three adolescents claimed that they saw a weird being. The creature was short and had V-shaped feet, horns and red eyes. “It wasn’t a man or an animal. It was something different,” they said at the time. Overnight, the three young women put Varginha on the map.
Reports about creatures and UFOs, military operations, strange coincidences, and mysterious deaths followed January 20. In fact, many questions remain unanswered to this day.
Something weird did happen in 1996
Brazil UFO incident in Varginha began when two sisters and a friend saw a strange creature. That encounter unchained a series of events upon which the Brazilian media feasted, and hysteria spread throughout the residents of Varginha. It didn’t help that the Brazilian Army made a spectacular and costly operation to investigate the case.
Within 24 hours, more reports about UFO appeared. A couple of farmers said they saw something resembling a gray spaceship overflying their cattle. “The cows are running from it. The object was surrounded by fog, but had no lights on it and didn’t make any noise,” said one of the farmers.
Also, another strange creature was seen next to the city’s zoo. Then, animals started dying for no apparent reason.
All incidents, of course, remain unproven. According to Marco Petit, a Brazilian ufologist, that’s because of a government cover-up operation. In a book called “Varginha, toda a verdade revelada” (literally “Varginha, the entire truth revealed”), he says that the case is bigger and more important than people think.
“The military’s high command took part of the case. I present their names so people won’t say I’m kidding about ufology,” he told G1 in 2015. Petit points out that some reports stated that the military found a spaceship and captured part of its crew.
Rumor has it that the bodies of the extraterrestrials were examined by Doctor Badan Palhares, who was Brazil’s leading forensic expert at the time. Palhares, however, has always denied the claims, calling it “utter nonsense.”
The military’s official version
In October 2015, weekly magazine IstoÉ publish an article containing official documents of the Brazilian Army. According to the official reports of the time, the “creature” that the three young women saw was not an ET. It was, in fact, a man who suffered from mental illnesses and lived next to the vacant lot in which they had their “close encounter of the third kind.”
A Brazilian Roswell?
Although every single one of those claims remains unproven, the incident catapulted Varginha into a touristic spot for UFO believers. The Wall Street Journal said about the town: “a hot spot in the intergalactic search for intelligent life.”
Whether the Brazil UFO incident was true or false never mattered for the city. The city was smart in trying to capitalize on it. Until this day, local vendors sell dolls of the “Varginha ET,” as Brazilians call it. Restaurants and stores have alien-themed decorations.
In 2001, the Mayor’s Office inaugurated a 12-meter high glowing tower in the city’s central square (you can see it on the main photo of this article). Its shape? You guessed right, a spaceship.

Golvende lava ontdekt in Io's grootste vulkaankrater
Golvende lava ontdekt in Io's grootste vulkaankrater
Tim Kraaijvanger
Astronomen hebben een gedetailleerde kaart gemaakt van het grootste lavameer op Io, een maan van Jupiter. De temperatuur van het gesmolten meer nam langzaam toe van het westen naar het oosten. Zij vermoeden dat golven hiervoor verantwoordelijk zijn.
PIZZAMAAN IO
Io wordt ook wel de ‘pizzamaan’ genoemd. Dit maantje van Jupiter heeft namelijk een pokdalig landschap. Io is het meest vulkanisch actieve hemellichaam in het zonnestelsel en is – na Venus en zon – de heetste plek in ons zonnestelsel. De maan Io is vulkanisch actief, omdat de maan intern wordt gekneed door Jupiter en de twee grote manen van Jupiter: Ganymedes en Europa. Regelmatig spuwen de vulkanen op Io zwavel de ruimte in. Dit levert hele mooie beelden op. Io zelf zien? Richt een beginnerstelescoop op Jupiter en de vier manen van Jupiter zijn duidelijk te zien: mits ze zich naast de gasplaneet bevinden (en niet erachter).
De bovenste laag van het 200 kilometer grote lavameer is gestold. De golven zorgen ervoor dat de gestolde bovenlaag wordt afgebroken en naar de bodem zakt. “Hierdoor komt de gloeiende magma daaronder bloot te liggen, waardoor het lavameer in infrarood licht helderder wordt,” legt onderzoeker Katherine de Kleer van UC Berkeley uit. Het paper van De Kleer en collega’s is online te lezen op de site van het wetenschappelijke vakblad Nature.
De temperatuurkaart laat een toename zien in temperatuur van 270 Kelvin (waar lava gestold is) tot 330 Kelvin (nieuwe magma). Overigens is dit niet extreem warm. 270 Kelvin komt overeen met een temperatuur van -3 graden Celsius, terwijl 330 Kelvin ongeveer 57 graden Celsius is. Op basis van modellen concluderen de onderzoekers dat twee trage golven iedere dag een afstand van ongeveer één kilometer afleggen. De vernieuwing van de toplaag van het lavameer gaat dus extreem langzaam. Ben je benieuwd welke routes deze golven afleggen? Bekijk de video hieronder.
Simulatie van hoe de golven door het lavameer bewegen.
Europa-overgang Fascinerender is de manier waarop wetenschappers tot deze conclusie zijn gekomen. Ze maakten daarbij slim gebruik van een andere maan van Jupiter: Europa. Op 8 maart vloog Europa voor Io langs. Hierdoor werd het licht van de vulkanische maan tijdelijk geblokkeerd. Omdat het oppervlak van Europa uit waterijs bestaat, wordt er weinig zonlicht gereflecteerd op infrarode golflengten. Hierdoor slaagden onderzoekers er in om de hitte van de vulkanen op het oppervlak van Io te meten.
Temperatuur en leeftijd van het oppervlak van het lavameer.
Tachtig metingen Het Large Binocular Telescope-observatorium werd ingezet om het lavameer Loki Patera in de gaten te houden. In ongeveer tien seconden bedekte Europa dit meer op Io. Toch was dit lang genoeg om circa tachtig temperatuurmetingen te verrichten, waardoor er nu een kaart is van de temperatuurverdeling in het meer.
Adam Savage famously loves space suits. In March, he told The Verge that he owns a number of different types that he’s commissioned or built over the years: “They all kind of satisfy the same thing in me, and it is to create an environment around your body where you are protected. The space suit is the most amazing, because you’re bringing your own mini-Earth with you.” Recently, Savage visited the set of Ridley Scott’s new Alien series movie Alien: Covenant, and nerded out when he got to try on one of the suits used in the film.
In a video posted to Savage’s YouTube Channel, Tested, Savage donned parts of the bright yellow EVA suit, marveling at how well he could move: “When NASA does this, it costs millions of dollars.” The suit’s designer, Michael Mooney, points out that the bearings and parts of the suit were 3D printed, not only for convenience, but because Scott liked the texture.
In the video, Savage also sits down with the film’s costume designer, Janty Yates, who explains that the production didn’t want to reuse the same types of space suits used in Scott’s film Prometheus, but also didn’t want to replicate those seen in Alien. They went back to the drawing board to create two new types of suits: the IVA, used inside the film’s spacecraft, and the EVA suit worn by Danny McBride, which was inspired by underwater suits.
While the IVA suits were reasonably simple to put together. Yates says they’ve gotten extremely good at designing helmets in recent years. The EVA suit was a “technological nightmare,” though, requiring the 3D-printed bearings at every point of articulation. “It’s a thing of extraordinary genius.”
Q: How much pressure does it take to burst someone's chest open?
A: Lots
Around the time ofStar Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson decided to spoil everyone’s fun by imposing actual physics on its far-away universe. Would BB-8 actually be able to roll on sand? Would TIE fighters actually make any sound in space? Are Roman Numerals actually a viable counting method in the 21st century? Stuff like that.
Now two Australian scientists have done the same thing with Alien: Covenant, out tomorrow, on Aussie-founded academic site The Conversation. Michael Milford (Associate professor, Queensland University of Technology) and Juxi Leitner (Research Fellow, Robotics & AI, QUT) ask questions like: Can glass withstand insane pressure? Would 20 crewmates want to kill each other after years on a ship? How much force would an alien need to break out of someone’s chest? Here’s what they reckoned.
1. Wouldn’t this glass panel break?
Maybe, maybe not.
Over at The Conversationthe science-men did some complex maths that they’re modestly downplaying as ‘back of the envelope calculations’. Ultimately they decided that the pressure exerted on the glass by the alien’s head in the above clip was 18,130 Pascals per square inch, which may or not make the glass break. They explain: “tough tempered glass is known to break at somewhere in the 10,000 to 24,000 PSI range, so it looks like it could be touch and go”.
2. Wouldn’t the crew hate each other?
Yes – unless they were hand-picked first
This question presupposes that the company that sent the Covenant spaceship didn’t handpick its crew – which they probably did – but the maths is still interesting, so let’s take a look.
If you’ve got a group of 20 randomly selected people, chances are there are going to be some major personality clashes, especially over a long trip through space. This is simply because of how probability works: imagine there’s a 5% chance that you really don’t get on with someone – if it’s just you and someone else, the scientists at The Conversation say the probability you get on with them is something like this: ‘chance you like them x chance they like you’. This would be (1 – 0.05) × (1 – 0.05), which is equal to 0.9025, or 90.25%. So 9 times out of 10, you and a random other person will get on great.
That chance rapidly decreases the more people you add to the equation. “Grab any random group of 20 people with those individual characteristics, and there’s only a tiny chance there won’t be some significant conflict potential there”. The figure they come up with is about 0.00000034%. “That’s why there’s so much psychological profiling for missions to Mars,” they say.
3. How does an alien break out of someone’s chest?
Method A: cutting
The ‘elegant’ method
If a newly ‘hatched’ alien only weighs 5kg, it’d have to be very strong to break through the chest of something with 16 times its own body mass. But imagine an alien’s incisors working like a saw to cut open a human chest, like sternum saws might do for open heart surgery. Leitner and Milford imagine that, in relation to its body mass, an alien is four times as strong as a human – so, they say, “if the ‘chestburster’ could apply its incredible power as efficiently to cutting its way out as a cardiac surgeon does with a saw, this approach is feasible.”
Method B: brute force
If at first you don’t succeed…
The human ribcage is very strong – a well-placed blow with a force of 3,300 Newtons will break a rib only one in four times. And that’s the force an Olympic boxer might have – not, perhaps, a newly born alien. So can an alien break out of a chest purely by bashing its way out? Leitner and Milford estimate the alien could only produce about 1,175 Newtons of force, so it would probably take a long time, and a lot of bashing to burst from someone’s chest like it does in the original Alien. Cutting > bashing, says science.
The files were released under the US Freedom of Information Act.
Government officials claimed they stopped investigating UFOs in the 1960s after it was said there was no threat to civilisation or evidence of intelligent aliens visiting the planet.
But, the new file released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), shows it was still actively monitoring the matter in 2002, conspiracy theorists have claimed.
The new document even explains to investigators how to photograph a UFO and record a sighting.
The US Department of Defense file, from 2002, contains a manual on how to snap suspected spaceships.
The document, entitled ‘DoD Instruction 5040.6, Life-Cycle Management of DoD Visual Information (VI)’, is 27 pages long.
Section 21 of Chapter five of the document says: "The following table concerns imagery that records UFOs and other aerial phenomena not obviously identifiable as conventional aircraft or missiles.
"The table also lists the priority assigned to each category of imagery and provides relevant handling instructions."
It advises military personnel to make digital copies and send all pictures or footage to the Defence Visual Information Center.

Former Pres. George W. Bush discusses alleged secret UFO files with Jimmy Kimmel on March 2, 2017.
How can they keep a straight face about the UFO issue when they shove it in plain English for the Armed Forces to digest.
Paul Dean
The document was uncovered by Paul Dean, a UFO researcher and blogger, who used a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain them from the department.
He was gobsmacked by what he received.
He told Mysterious Universe: "What's particularly odd about that the table of what to photograph and what not to, is that it doesn’t vaguely say ‘UFOs’.
"It lays out fully both ‘Unidentified Flying Objects’ with descriptors, and then ‘Aerial Phenomena’ with descriptors."
He said it "blows out of the water" the widely held belief and claim that the US stopped documenting and researching UFOs after the 1960s.
He added: "How can they keep a straight face about the UFO issue when they shove it in plain English for the Armed Forces to digest.
Conspiracy theorists claim the US Government is aware aliens have visited Earth, but have put in place a "truth embargo" to prevent it getting out to the public.
Disclosure activists, like Steve Bassett, head of Paradigm Research Group, campaign for the embargo to be lifted.
Earlier this month Express.co.uk revealed how Mr Bassett believes that disclosure could be imminent after the CIA put thousands of formerly classified files, including stuff on UFOs, on its website.

This Morning viewers in hysterics as Peter Andre 'hunts' aliens and speaks to 'mysterious girl' who encountered the supernatural
This Morning viewers in hysterics as Peter Andre 'hunts' aliens and speaks to 'mysterious girl' who encountered the supernatural
The singer believes alien spacecraft have visited this planet after a personal encounter with UFOs in the Nevada desert
BY KYLE O'SULLIVAN
This Morning viewers were let in hysterics after Peter Andre spoke to a woman who encountered the supernatural in his "hunt" for aliens.
The singer admitted he believes alien spacecraft have visited this planet after personal witnessing UFOs flying in the sky above him on a trip to the Nevada desert.
Today marked the launch of a new three-part series called 'Peter Andre's World of Weird' that will see him investigating the paranormal and supernatural.
He spoke to a "mysterious girl" who described how she saw a "massive thing" which shone lights from above the sea before zooming off into the air.

Jo Wood encountered a flying spacecraft in Brazil(Photo: ITV)
Speaking on This Morning about his reasons for believing in the paranormal, he said: "Witness testimonies and video footage of UFOs are often dismissed as hoaxes or the product of over reactive imagination.
"But you see I do believe alien spacecraft have visited this planet. Why? Because I’ve seen one."
Describing his supernatural experience, Peter said: "A few years ago I was driving through the Nevada dessert with my family close to the famous area 51 military base.
"Now you’re only allowed within a certain distance of the base but believe me I got as close as I could. And what I saw was unbelievable.
The UFO shone bright lights over the sea(Photo: ITV)
"I've never seen anything like it, there were crafts, they were erratic - objects going from one point in the sky to the other in split seconds and disappearing and reappearing - it blew my mind.
"Even since then I've seen loads of things, that in itself made me believe."
The series, which will see Peter tackling the topics of alien visitors, ghosts, and reincarnation, started with an interview with Jo Wood.
Peter will interview abductees and spend a night in a haunted house(Photo: ITV)
Explaining her encounter with the supernatural, Jo said: "I was in Recife in Brazil with my ex Ronnie and our kids. He [Ronnie] was out wandering around and he started shouting 'Jo, Jo, come here, come here, there's something weird over by the sea'..."
Jo added: "Above the sea was this massive thing and the lights came down on the sea from underneath it, and as I'm watching it, it just suddenly went [swift movement action] and stopped and then went... it was gone, just like that."
As the series progresses, Peter will also speak to abductees and witnesses, spend an evening in a haunted castle, and even undergo a past-life regression.

This Morning viewers were left in hysterics as they joked about Peter and his supernatural beliefs.
One viewer said: "Peter Andre believes in aliens on the basis that he once saw a Mysterious Girl
Another added: "Out of all the people @ThisMorning could've got to do an alien report - @MrPeterAndre is who they've chosen."
A third said: "I'm still aghast that Peter Andre exists.....never mind f***ing aliens."
* 'Peter Andre's World of Weird' will be on ITV's This Morning on Thursdays at 10.30am
In 1959, Eileen Moreland was walking across a paddock to collect some cows for milking before she was confronted by a green glow.
Illustrations: Ben Thomson
You know those flashing lights you saw that one time in the sky? Maybe they weren't comets after all.
This article was originally published on VICE New Zealand, it is supported by Alien: Covenant, out in cinemas on May 11. To celebrate the film's release, we spoke to a bunch of New Zealanders who have witnessed what they believe to be UFOs or signs of alien life.
On 22 December 2010 at 1.30pm, the New Zealand Defence Force released their classified sightings between 1952 and 2009 on the grounds of huge public interest. The process took 14 months.
The files contained information relating to the infamous Kaikoura lights sightings of 1978, where hundreds of people saw lights of varying sizes appearing, and reappearing, in the region. The lights were even spotted playing a game of duck, duck, goose, of sorts, with a cargo aircraft.
The reports also documented the 1959 Moreland sightings, where a Mrs Eileen Moreland was walking across a paddock to collect some cows for milking—as you do—before she was confronted by a green glow. She'd stumbled across a UFO trying to land in her paddock. They were harmless, sure, and they were also wearing metallic suits. The controversy fuelled Cold War fears of Russian involvement.
Even though it's been almost 60 years since the Moreland case—and people still often report extraterrestrial sightings—explanation around what's out there still remains unclear. To unshroud the mystery around the phenomenon, we spoke to some New Zealanders who have been spooked by what they claim to be signs of alien activity.
Sarah* was sixteen when she and two friends spotted a UFO in Christchurch in 2006. It was a completely clear, hot, and dry summer night. She was leaning up against her car when her mates noticed something out of the ordinary. All three of them witnessed three bright white lights move together at a steady pace across the sky in what seemed like a perfect lateral triangle.
"We were like, 'Whoa, that's kind of cool', not really thinking too much of it. I thought it must have been a meteorite, plane, or comet, but then they just stopped and froze for about five to ten seconds. We were caught a bit off guard."
"Then, out of nowhere, they each burst away from one another and shot out in different directions really bloody quickly and disappeared."
Before the encounter, Sarah was a sceptical, non-believer type of person. And while she's not going to jump up and down and join forums anytime soon, she says the whole thing was extremely odd. "All of us were a little shocked afterwards, we just looked at each saying, 'No... really, that didn't... But you saw that too, right?'"
She'd had a few drinks earlier, but insists it made no impact as to what she saw. But based on this, friends immediately dismissed the credibility of the story.
"If I'm thinking about representations of alcoholics in film, they are always seen as the village idiot until some knight-in-shining-sober-armour comes along to confirm what this guy has been saying the whole time."
Finn Erikson's UFO encounter also happened last year in Christchurch, between Taylors Mistake beach and Godley Head east of Christchurch. He was parked in a car park up in the valley, chatting to his friend, when they noticed darting small lights above the hillside. While they were akin to light laser points, they were huge and moved erratically. The lights disappeared and were replaced by big red lights on the hillside below, which was particularly strange as there was no road access, and the lights were too big to be from a car.
"The lights were too big to be from a car."
"We were majorly spooked and both agreed it was an authentic brush with UFOs. A major X-Files vibe set in and we gapped it toot sweet to avoid more shocking encounters."
Erikson has always been, and still is, an emphatic believer in life beyond earth. "I love the possibility that we could, as a planet, make alien contact within our lifetime. I think aliens would be peaceful and would have a lot to offer, such as wisdom to solve world crises or advanced alien technologies to help the planet and humanity. Hey, a guy can dream right?"
Where people may try to rationalise the unexplainable as earthly phenomena, Erikson's belief comes down to statistics and odds.
"Given that we know there are billions of stars and planets within our own galaxy, and there are billions of galaxies within the universe, there are overwhelming odds that there are millions of planets with the conditions to promote life."
The cultural fascination with space and UFOs has been a great platform from which to have explored his own musings on the subject too, he says. "I think agent Mulder made believers out of a lot of '90s kids, despite agent Scully's attempts to always find a rational explanation."
Wellington's Jim Chipp also thinks he had an extraterrestrial encounter, but he's still not so sure. He was driving south between Eketahuna and Masterton mid-evening in January over ten years ago. A light appeared over the eastern horizon, 10-12 kilometres away and came toward the car very fast. It veered south above the car then flared brightly before vanishing.
A few seconds after, there was another one, and then another, with six in total. Chipp began counting as they approached, and based on them covering the distance from the horizon to the car in six seconds, he thinks they were travelling at about 7000 kilometres per hour, far too fast for anything man-made.
Chipp read up on it, and found there were similar sightings in the area, but he also found scientific reports suggesting that methane gathers high in the atmosphere and is ignited by lightening, creating a fireball effect.
He has an open mind when it comes to the existence of extraterrestrial life, but seeing their aircraft is a different matter.
"If they were capable of travelling here they are more advanced than us, probably by millions of years. We would only see them if they wanted us to and if they wanted us to see them, they wouldn't leave room for doubt. I don't believe people have seen alien craft."
In all of these circumstances one thing's certain. Whether you're open to the idea of UFOs or not, you still might find yourself being scared silly by erratic flashing lights trying to dominate New Zealand's beautiful vistas.

X-37B : après 700 jours dans l'espace, le mystérieux vaisseau de l’US Air Force est de retour sur Terre
X-37B : après 700 jours dans l'espace, le mystérieux vaisseau de l’US Air Force est de retour sur Terre
Après un séjour de presque deux ans en orbite, le drone militaire américain X-37B est revenu sur Terre le dimanche 7 mai 2017. -
USAF/Cover Images/SIPA
Parti en mai 2015, le vaisseau X-37B de l'US Air Force est revenu sur Terre samedi dernier en Floride, bouclant une mission historique de 718 jours dans l'espace dont l'objectif est toujours classé secret défense.
Après deux ans passés dans l'espace, le X-37B a fait son grand retour sur Terre. Samedi 7 mai, à 7H47 heure locale, le vaisseau de l'US Air Force a atterri sur le tarmac du Kennedy Space Center en Floride. Un atterrissage très remarqué alors que l'engin de 9 mètres de long et 4,5 m d'envergure a émis juste avant un puissant bang supersonique qui a surpris les habitants aux alentours.
Le retour du vaisseau aux allures de navette spatiale était aussi très attendu. Parti en mai 2015, le X-37B dépourvu d'équipage a bouclé là une mission inédite qui aura duré 718 jours. "Aujourd'hui marque un jour incroyablement excitant pour l'unité 45th Space Wing alors que nous continuons à briser les barrières", a commenté dans un communiqué, Wayne Monteith, brigadier général de l'US Air Force et commandant de l'unité.
"Notre équipe prépare cet évènement depuis plusieurs années et je suis extrêmement fier de voir que notre dur travail et notre dévouement ont abouti à l'atterrissage réussi du X-37B", a-t-il ajouté. Mais si le vaisseau fait beaucoup parler de lui, ce n'est pas pour ses prouesses techniques, c'est plutôt pour l'objectif de sa mission classée secret défense.
Le X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle revenu ce week-end est le quatrième du nom à s'envoler sous l'égide de l'US Air Force, l'armée de l'air américaine. Le premier vol a eu lieu en 2010 et duré 224 jours. Le dernier s'était achevé en 2014 après une durée record de 674 jours dans l'espace. Or si la plupart des détails techniques du projet ont été rendus publics, les missions restent très mystérieuses.
Interrogé par Space.com en 2014, le général William Shelton avait déclaré : "X-37 fait un excellent travail. Je ne peux pas vous dire ce qu'il fait, mais il le fait très bien". Selon les communiqués de l'US Air force et de Boeing, le X-37B servirait "des objectifs spatiaux à long terme". Plus précisément, il servirait à tester de nouveaux matériaux et technologies dans l'environnement spatial.
Alimenté par l'énergie solaire, l'OTV est un véhicule capable de décoller, rester en orbite basse et revenir sur Terre de façon autonome. Il permettrait ainsi à l'armée américaine d'envoyer des équipements dans l'espace et de voir à leur retour comment ils ont résisté. Pour ce 4e vol, un propulseur de la société Aerojet Rocketdyne aurait notamment été transporté. Néanmoins, ces affirmations sont loin de convaincre tout le monde.
Depuis sa première mission, le X-37B suscite de nombreuses théories plus ou moins étayées. Et les débats se sont intensifiés quand des observateurs ont révélé avoir constaté que le X-37B survolait à plusieurs reprises certaines régions telles que l'Iraq, l'Iran, le Pakistan, l'Afghanistan et la Corée du Nord. Largement de quoi attiser les rumeurs.
Pour certains, ces observations renforcent la théorie selon laquelle le vaisseau serait utilisé pour espionner des régions géopolitiques sensibles. D'autres suggèrent qu'il servirait à mettre hors d'état de nuire des satellites redoutés par le gouvernement américain ou à l'inverse, à déployer lui-même des satellites de reconnaissance.
Plus insolite, des conspirationnistes ont évoqué la possibilité que le X-37B serve en quelque sorte de bombardier permettant de larguer une arme sur Terre depuis l'espace. Une théorie rapidement écartée par les experts au vu des caractéristiques techniques du vaisseau.
Petit et difficile à manœuvrer
"Le X-37 fait la taille d'un pick-up, ce serait difficile de mettre des armes efficaces à bord", a expliqué à l'AFP Victoria Samson, spécialiste de la fondation américaine Secure World Militant pour le développement durable dans l'espace. Par ailleurs, le X-37B étant alimenté via des panneaux solaires, il serait difficile de beaucoup le manœuvrer.
"D'une manière générale, manœuvrer en orbite nécessite une énorme quantité de carburant, donc je ne le vois pas faire beaucoup" de déplacements, a-t-elle détaillé. Or, larguer une arme sur Terre nécessiterait de cibler une zone particulière et donc de changer le plan orbital du vaisseau. De même, ses caractéristiques ne paraitraient pas idéales pour lui confier des missions d'espionnage selon les experts.
Si c'était le cas, "je ne vois pas l'intérêt de l'alourdir avec des ailes et un train d'atterrissage, et de le rendre si visible de la Terre que même des amateurs peuvent le suivre", a relevé Mark Gubrud, physicien spécialiste des technologies militaires spatiales de l'Université de Caroline de Nord. Durant son 4e vol, le X-37B a en effet été repéré à plusieurs reprises par une communauté d'observateurs amateurs.
Pour les spécialistes, le X-37B serait donc davantage un banc d'essai volant qu'une arme potentielle. De son côté, l'US Air Force s'est contentée d'affirmer que le projet ne visait "aucune capacité offensive". "Si les militaires américains voulaient calmer les spéculations, ils pourraient le faire", a jugé Victoria Samson. "Mais peut-être que c'est dans leur intérêt de laisser les gens dans l'incertitude !" Pour l'heure, on ignore si d'autres vols sont prévus.
Hallo Atlantis? Wetenschappers ontdekken bijzondere gangen onder Antarctica
Hallo Atlantis? Wetenschappers ontdekken bijzondere gangen onder Antarctica
FOTO: RR
Het idee dat Antarctica meer herbergt dan alleen maar ijs is een populaire theorie onder complotdenkers. De theorieën variëren van UFO’s naar de verborgen resten van een oude beschaving, en deze recente ontdekking zal alleen nog maar olie op het vuur gooien.
Onder de ijskappen van Antarctica vonden wetenschappers een heel stelsel van gangen en structuren die doen denken aan gewelven. Sommige van die gewelven zouden zo hoog zijn als de Eiffeltoren. De mysterieuze gangen bevinden zich onderaan een de meer dan 800 meter dikke ijskap.
Wetenschappers van de VUB hebben het over stromingen en verzamelingen van sediment onder de Antarctische ijsplaat. In essentie betekent dat dat er groot netwerk van tunnels en richels loopt onder het ijs. Deze natuurlijk gevormde structuren zouden bijdragen aan de stabiliteit van de ijskap.
Op deze beelden zie je de locatie van de gangen (boven) en hoe diep ze zich in het ijs bevinden (onder)FOTO: RR
Hoe de gangen ontstaan zijn, is nog niet geheel duidelijk, maar zou te maken hebben met het feit dat rotsen krassen maken in de onderkant van de ijsplaat. Die krassen zouden door het water verder uitgehold worden en gevoeliger zijn voor smelten wanneer de ijsplaat in contact komt met warmer water.
Eenmaal de wetenschappers voldoende kunnen begrijpen hoe die gangen juist gevormd worden, geloven ze dat ze ook de gevolgen van de klimaatopwarming op het smelten van de ijskappen beter zullen kunnen inschatten.
Mysterieuze gangen ontdekt onder Antarctica. Wie heeft ze gemaakt?
Mysterieuze gangen ontdekt onder Antarctica. Wie heeft ze gemaakt?
Onder de ijskap van Antarctica hebben wetenschappers mysterieuze gangen en structuren gevonden die doen denken aan gewelven.
Sommige daarvan zijn net zo hoog als de Eiffeltoren. De vreemde gangen zijn ontdekt onder de bijna één kilometer dikke ijskap.
Onderzoekers van de Vrije Universiteit Brussel stuitten op een groot netwerk van tunnels en richels onder het ijs.
Littekens
Ze kunnen nog niet met zekerheid zeggen hoe de gangen zijn ontstaan. Mogelijk maken rotsen openingen in de onderkant van de ijslaag, die verder uitgehold worden door warmer water.
Gedacht wordt dat deze formaties bijdragen aan de stabiliteit van de ijskap. De gigantische landmassa’s maken scheuren in het ijs, waardoor ‘littekens’ ontstaan.
De ontdekking zal ongetwijfeld leiden tot speculatie onder mensen die geloven dat Antarctica UFO-bases en resten van een verloren beschaving herbergt, schrijft The Sun.
Verloren stad
Sommige onderzoekers claimen op basis van een 500 jaar oude kaart die gemaakt is door een Ottomaanse generaal dat er mogelijk een verloren stad ligt onder Antarctica.
Anderen zijn er heilig van overtuigd dat Atlantis verborgen ligt onder het ijs van Antarctica.
Volgens de wetenschappers is hier slechts sprake van natuurlijke formaties. Zij spreken in het tijdschrift Nature Communications van stromingen en verzamelingen van sediment onder de ijskap.
A FLYING HUMANOID ENTITY ATTACKED A POLICE OFFICER IN MEXICO
A FLYING HUMANOID ENTITY ATTACKED A POLICE OFFICER IN MEXICO
The city of Monterrey in Mexico has been thrown into a panic after a bizarre story has emerged regarding a police officer being attacked by what has been described as a ‘flying humanoid entity’.
The police officer, Leonardo Samaniego from Guadalupe in Mexico was on patrol in his car around the Colonia Valles de la Silla in the city at around 3.15 in the morning. When Samaniego turned into Alamo Street, he noticed that something was amiss. He says that he saw a huge, black object fall from a tree but that it seemed to stop itself from hitting the ground by levitating. It then slowly touched down to the ground and slowly turned around to face him. A shocked Officer Samaniego turned on the high beams of his patrol car to investigate.
The lights appeared to anger the creature which covered its face. Officer Samaniego said that he could see the being quite clearly. He described it as a woman with two big black eyes without eyelids and very dark skin. He said that the female figure was dressed all in black with a cloak like a witch. After observing him for a few seconds, the creature suddenly burst into a violent rage and leaped upon the hood of the patrol car in an attempt to attack the police officer. Officer Samaniego attempted to reverse the car and called for back-up.
He managed to get away from his attacker and reached the end of the street where he lost consciousness. He was found, unhurt but still unconscious, by officers in two patrol cars and first responders from an ambulance unit.
When other officers heard Samaniego’s story, many of them were incredulous. The officer was asked to undergo several drug tests in order to ensure that he was not under the influence of narcotics or alcohol. All of the tests were negative. He also submitted himself to a psychiatric evaluation at the Hospital Universitario where he was found to be psychologically healthy.
In addition to his clean bill of health, the police officer’s story has gained credibility as others have come forward claiming to have seen the bizarre creature around the city. Two more policemen from the Regia Police have claimed that they saw a flying creature in the sky a few days previously, as have many members of the public.

THERE ARE NOW 22 ALIEN SIGNALS THAT NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN
THERE ARE NOW 22 ALIEN SIGNALS THAT NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN
Ever heard of fast radio bursts (FRBs)? These bursts of energy last but merely a split of a second at most, but the energy generated by each burst are billions of times more than whatever we know of currently in our world. To put it into a simple perspective, think 500 million of our Suns put together. That is the amount of energy generated by an FRB within a split second.
Till date, scientists are still confounded by FRBs. We have not even a vague idea of where it comes from, what it does or even what they are exactly. Theories about FRBs span from powering alien spaceships to our regular microwaves on Earth. To think that such an occurrence is rare isn't surprising, however, scientists predict that daily, about 2000 occurrences happen.
However, that is still a highly debatable subject as only 22 signals in the world are confirmed as to date. FRBs are notoriously hard to capture as signals only last for milliseconds before they've entirely vanished without a trace.
The most recent discovery has scientists left in a trail of shock. The FBR 150215, the first of its kind to be clearly recorded, was heard in Australia on 15th February 2015.
The FBR 150215, recorded as clear as day
We have been detecting FBR for years, but what makes this one so special? Firstly, Petroff, from the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, has claimed that this FBR is detectable through many telescopes but however leaves no trace or signals. More than that, it is even weirder as it is scientifically impossible for us to hear to capture this signal, as the direction it was coming from makes it impossible as it had to travel through a very dense milky way before it can reach Earth. However, miracles happen every day, or maybe it is just another alien spacecraft being powered up some light years away, as some have suggested.
There is still a lot more of the world, much less the galaxy that we are missing out on.
UFOS AND DEAD ALIEN BODIES ARE BEING STORED BUT NOT IN AREA 51
UFOS AND DEAD ALIEN BODIES ARE BEING STORED BUT NOT IN AREA 51
Everyone has an opinion about Area 51 and what may or may not be contained there. Even those who would not consider themselves a conspiracy theorist has their suspicions of what top-secret government actions are taking place at the Nevada desert location. However, many are now coming forward to say that while Area 51 does have its secrets, the real action is in an underground bunker in the Papoose Mountain Range a few miles away.
Area 51 rose to fame when in 1947, it is believed an alien spacecraft crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. For days government officials scoured the site of what they alleged to be an Air Force balloon crash making sure to erase any traces of what had occurred. People involved with the recovery of the craft stated that the remains of any ship or passengers thereof were hurriedly carried away to what they believed the destination to be Area 51.
Recently, some in the watchdog community have theorized that while Area 51 does house secret government military technologies, any alien tech is stored approximately 15 miles away from the famous site. It could be that the government allows speculation to run rampant about Area 51 to draw attention away from the true site of the government alien archives.
This mountain site would be the perfect place to hideaway and experiment with found alien technology and perhaps study beings from other worlds who found themselves stranded on our planet. Away from public eyes and with Area 51 shouldering the majority of suspicion, those officials and scientists at the Papoose Mountain facility would be more free to develop the government's own devices and weaponry.
If the government were in possession of alien spacecraft, it is certain that its top priority would be to re-create the technology contained within for its own advancement. This is what Jan Harzan, Executive Director of The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) believes makes up close to ten percent of the reported UFO sightings his organization receives. MUFON dedicates itself to documenting any sightings of strange aircraft so concerned individuals can look for correlation and validation between their own personal experience of extraterrestrial beings or crafts and those of similarly minded people around the globe.
The difference in obviously earth-made vessels and vessels made using the technology of alien races is obvious in construction and appearance. While man-made ships have hard lines, visible riveting, and external plumbing systems, ships made with the construction knowledge of advanced beings are smooth and rounded without visible signs of the construction process. It could be that with the information learned from collecting alien tech recovered on Earth, scientists have been successful in recreating the engineering feats of our extraterrestrial neighbors.
It is certain that there are things not easily explained navigating the skies around the world. Perhaps mankind is further along in their development of airspace travel than those in power would like us to believe. Whether the base for alien technology research is at the popular Area 51 or nestled within a secluded mountain range in rural Nevada, those with inquiring minds are keeping their watchful eyes open for signs of the truth.

THE LATEST DISCOVERY IN QUANTUM PHYSICS SHOWS REALITY IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
THE LATEST DISCOVERY IN QUANTUM PHYSICS SHOWS REALITY IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
All of the major theories of science are predicated on the idea that everything in this world is formed from building blocks of material particles. However, new advances in the fascinating and ever-expanding field of quantum physics suggest that this long-held assumption might be completely wrong.
THE WORLD IS COMPOSED OF ENERGY, NOT OF MATTER
New experiments and studies conducted in laboratories such as CERN seem to suggest that everything is actually composed of energy rather than material particles, including human beings.
Researchers examining the behavior of particles on the quantum level have found through various experiments with particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN that the building blocks of matter appear to be composed of pure energy.
These experiments have also yielded some incredibly interesting results about the way sub-atomic particles behave when exposed to different interactions and observations. It has been found that when these particles are being observed, they begin to act as physical units. However, when they are left unobserved for any period of time, they act as energy waves. This has suggested to many theoretical physicists that the material world is held together by consciousness rather than material reality.
Perhaps even more interestingly, researchers have also discovered that everything in the universe appears to be connected. This concept, which is referred to as quantum entanglement demonstrates that once particles have interacted with each other on one occasion, then they are irrevocably connected to one another and will respond to each other’s energetic cues. This response occurs no matter how physically distant the two particles are from one another. Given that all of the particles currently in existence have been present in the universe since the Big Bang, it seems logical to assume that every single particle in the universe is connected in this manner.
The scientific theories that explain the bizarre behavior of particles on the quantum level are still in progress, and a great deal more research will need to be conducted before researchers truly understand what these observations mean. However, it is certain that the discoveries relating to quantum physics over the past few years have the capacity to forever change the way that human beings understand and interact with the universe.
Another chapter in the “Aliens” saga is about to be released, and that gives director and “Alien” franchise founder Ridley Scott a chance to talk to the media about aliens again. This time he is warning people not to mess with any visitors from advanced civilizations or else you might be “taken out.”

First, I have to brag a bit. Sorry. But as I write this I am excitedly awaiting a sneak peek of “Alien: Covenant,” the second prequel to the legendary franchise. While writing is not always lucrative, it can get you some perks, like early press movie screenings. The movie is set to officially release in the U.S. on May 19.
I am not as used to thrillers as I was when the first “Alien” movies came out, or even the first prequel, “Prometheus,” so I hope I do not squeal in the theater, or worse, wet myself in terror. This one is supposed to be pretty scary.
Even scarier than watching aliens wreak havoc on innocent human colonists seeking to find a new life on an extraterrestrial planet is the real-life prospect of getting annihilated by visitors from outer space.
“I believe in superior beings. I think it is certainly likely,” Scott recently told Agence France-presse (AFP). “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.”
However, if you “see a big thing in the sky,” Scott says you better run for it. Because, according to Scott, “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.”
In his movies, Scott’s aliens dispatch humans even faster than that.
This, of course, is not the first time Scott has shared his ideas about extraterrestrial life. In the first of the “Alien” prequels, “Prometheus,” suggested that life on earth was seeded by an intelligent alien species. This idea is the focus of the television series Ancient Aliens, and was referred to as the “ancient astronaut theory” in the 70s. It was popularized by a series of books written by Eric van Daniken. Books that Scott has apparently read.
NASA and the Vatican agree that is almost mathematically impossible that we can be where we are today without there being a little help along the way . . . That’s what we’re looking at (in the film), at some of Eric van Daniken’s ideas of how did we humans come about.
One of my favorite scenes from “Prometheus” is when the protagonists are landing their spaceship in a valley surrounded by mountains. It is a beautiful shot. At the far end of the valley is a mountain that looks like an ancient extraterrestrial ruin, and, of course, it turned out it was.

Scott’s reference to the growing belief that life must exist elsewhere in the universe, coupled with the burgeoning private space industry, makes his version of the future more and more likely. The idea that humans may discover ancient alien relics one day, like in the landing scene, fuels my deep interest in these topics. I just hope that when, or if, we do discovery intelligent alien life, it has more regard for us earthlings than the aliens in Scott’s movies.
Fortunately, I would argue, most scientists do not share Scott’s pessimistic outlook on our galactic neighbors. Sure, Stephen Hawking is often talking about how aliens might treat us like the Europeans treated Native-Americans, but others, such as Carl Sagan and Michio Kaku disagree. In fact, Time Magazine recently posted an article on why scientist do not think aliens will eat us.
So sleep tight tonight, and do not fear being mauled by aliens (fingers crossed). However, I will not blame you if you take Scott’s advice and run the opposite direction if you see a UFO. Better safe than sorry, right?

Location of sighting: Between UK & Belgium, ocean

This UFO was seen over the ocean during a cruise to Belgium from the UK. Strangely enough, the UFO also has to small craft that came out of it and are flying away. Since the ocean covers 75% of the Earths surface and since UFOs are air tight and fly in space, it just stands to reason that UFOs can also travel under water (slower of course). It also stands to reason that 75% of all aliens and UFOs come from the ocean too. Its just logical.

Eyewitness states:
I was on a cruise from Southampton (UK)to Zeebrugge (Belgium). On the Saturday 6th May 2017 at 13.45 I took a picture of the cruise ship from inside the coach (through the window). At the time I did not notice anything in the sky. When we got back on the ship I was going through the pictures and saw the object. The picture was taken on a Samsung S7 Ed

These awesome UFOs were caught by Youtube user UFOnearSun. For those who are new to all this, UFO researchers look for the UFOs that are near the sun, because two Russian scientists about 10 years ago came out and told the world about many large moon and Earth size UFOs that orbit the sun and make erratic path changes like making 90 degree hard turns, suddenly speeding up, or even reversing course. This announcement all happened before Youtube, so no records exit today, however there are many of us that remember the Russian announcement from that day.
Scientists Dug 12 km Into Our Planet—What They Found Left Me Speechless [VIDEO]
Scientists Dug 12 km Into Our Planet—What They Found Left Me Speechless [VIDEO]
Some call it the ‘Door to Hell’. At 12,262 meters the Kola Superdeep Borehole is the deepest artificial point on our planet. No one expected these discoveries.
There are some who firmly believe the human race knows more about distant galaxies and alien planets located light years away from Earth than what lies beneath the surface of our planet.
Curiously, it took the Voyager 1 spacecraft nearly 26 years to exit our solar system, which is about the same amount of time scientists on Earth needed to penetrate 12 kilometers into our planet’s surface.
After more than two decades, scientists created the Kola Superdeep Borehole and a drill depth of more than 7.5 miles (12 kilometers).
The Kola Superdeep Borehole reached 12,262 meters (40,230 ft) in 1989 becoming the deepest artificial point on our planet.
To put that into perspective, the Kola Superdeep Borehole descends further than the deepest point of the ocean, which lies at nearly 6.8 miles (11 kilometers).
Well, after 26 years of intensive drilling efforts, experts found that there’s a LOT of water down there. Scientists discovered hot mineralized water almost everywhere down the drilling path.
But not only is there water down there, scientists discovered the Earth has Gas. Not that type of gas. Scientists found, helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, and even carbon dioxide (from microbes) all along the borehole.
One of the greatest surprises was that experts found there is no basalt under the continent’s granite. Scientists believed that at 9,000 meters the granite would give way to basalt. However, to their surprise, it doesn’t.
Furthermore, scientists discovered there are FOSSILS in granite located around 6,700 meters below the surface.
In addition to the above, scientists found that the temperature at the bottom of the hole reached a staggering 180 degrees celsius, officially too hot to continue, and rightfully earning the nickname ‘Door to Hell’.
“By far the most riveting discovery from the project, however, was the detection of microscopic plankton fossils in rocks over 2 billion years old, found four miles beneath the surface,”reports Bryan Nelson from Mother Nature Network.
“These ‘microfossils’ represented about 24 ancient species, and were encased in organic compounds which somehow survived the extreme pressures and temperatures that exist so far beneath the Earth.”
The project was officially terminated in 2005, leaving only a rusted metal cap as a marker of its existence.
De wolken zijn iets anders dan op aarde. Zo bestaan ze niet uit water, maar uit methaan.
Naast de wolkenbanden vallen ook de donkere vlekken op het noordelijk halfrond van Saturnus’ maan op. Het zijn de meren en zeeën die Titan rijk is. Ook deze zijn gevuld met methaan en ethaan in plaats van water.
Cassini maakte de foto afgelopen weekend. De ruimtesonde passeerde de maan toen op een afstand van zo’n 488.000 kilometer.

De laatste keer dat Cassini met opzet rakelings langs Titan scheerde, was eind april. Cassini scheerde toen op een afstand van zo’n 979 kilometer over de maan heen. Zo dicht zal Cassini – wiens missie in september tot een einde komt – niet meer bij Titan in de buurt komen. Maar als zich – vanaf een veel grotere afstand – een kans voordoet om de maan te bestuderen, zal Cassini die grijpen. En dat deed Cassini dus ook afgelopen weekend.
De sonde houdt Titan onder meer in de gaten, omdat de zomer zich aandient op het noordelijk halfrond van de maan. En onderzoekers willen natuurlijk graag weten of dat veranderingen op de maan teweegbrengt. Naarmate de zomer dichterbij komt, hadden de onderzoekers wel verwacht dat het aantal wolken zou toenemen. Maar enigszins verrassend is dat we die wolken ook op lagere breedtes op het noordelijk halfrond zien ontstaan.
Op deze foto zien we ook donkere vlekken nabij de evenaar. Het zijn duinlandschappen. Wat verder opvalt is de donkere vlek ten noorden van die duinlandschappen die richting het noordoosten lijkt te zijn uitgesmeerd. Het is waarschijnlijk een gebied dat bedekt is met donker stof dat zich op sommige plekken in duintjes verzameld heeft.
