Leaked footage from top-secret Area 51 military base shows mysterious ALIEN craft, claim UFO hunters
Leaked footage from top-secret Area 51 military base shows mysterious ALIEN craft, claim UFO hunters
The strange video appears to show a flying object hovering in the sky
The craft emits a strange light as it sporadically moves side to side
The footage was believed to have been filmed in the 1980s or 1990s
Nevada-based military facility has been a focal point of conspiracy theorists
UFOlogists have long claimed the base houses secretive alien technology
Area 51 is one of the most secretive locations in the world.
Now, UFO hunters at SecureTeam 10 have released leaked footage which they claim shows an alien craft is hiding in the Nevada-based military facility.
The strange video appears to show a flying object hovering in the sky and then flying away - emitting a strange light as it sporadically moves side to side.

UFO hunters SecureTeam 10 have now released leaked footage which they claim shows an alien craft is hiding in the Nevada military facility
SECURETEAM 10 CONTROVERSY
SectureTeam10 is one of the most viewed YouTube channels, with over 785,000 people subscribing to its conspiracy videos.
But the channel has come under fire, as Lions Ground, a rival channel, claims that it has been intentionally fooling its viewers.
According to Lions Ground, SecureTeam10 has been raking in an estimated £600 ($745) a day by posting fake videos that 'outsmart UFO believers.'
'It's one of the mysterious pieces in UFOlogy', said Tyler Glockner who runs SecureTeam 10 on the YouTube clip.
He described the footage, which was believed to have been filmed in the 1980s or 1990s, as a 'hidden gem'.
The unexplained object appears to be getting higher and higher and releases a strange light as the footage goes on.
The Nevada-based military testing facility has been a focal point of many conspiracy theorists and UFOlogists since the late 1970s, who claim that the base houses secretive alien technology.
The sprawling military complex sits between a dry lake bed to the North East, and a small mountain to the West.
Area 51 has been a hot spot for extra terrestrial enthusiasts because the government did not acknowledge its existence until 2013.
It has long been fenced off from the prying eyes of the public, with armed guards swarming the surrounding area.
'Area 51 has always been a magnet for those who believe the US Government knows a lot more about UFOs than they are prepared to reveal to the public,' Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, told MailOnline.
'People like the late Boyd Bushman, a senior scientist who worked for Lockheed Martin, have declared that Area 51 is a base where extraterrestrial spacecraft and technology is stored and examined.'

Claims of alien conspiracies around Area 51 have largely been debunked.
But the site has been confirmed as a historic test site for military aircraft.
Famous machines developed there include the U-2 spy plane, SR-71 Blackbird, and the F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter.

Images of the base are extremely rare, with any photographers brave enough to travel there kept far back from the perimeter by the base's many armed guards.

Nearby viewpoints Freedom Ridge and White Sides Peak, which offer vantage points looking down on the base, are off-limits to the public.
After a series of declassifications, official details of Area 51 only came to light in 2011. This image shows a suspended, upside-down titanium A-12 spy-plane prototype as it is 'prepped' for radar testing
The U-2 spy plane is photographed as it is tested at Area 51 in 1955. Early missions involving the plane were used throughout the Cold War for surveillance over Cuba, the Soviet Union and China
The U.S. Air Force's SR-71 (double cockpit training version pictured) was in many ways a product of Area 51 testing and an evolution of the A-12, which was decommissioned in 1968

World's Largest Aircraft Completes Successful Test Flight
World's Largest Aircraft Completes Successful Test Flight
By Kacey Deamer, Staff Writer
At a mammoth 302 feet (92 meters) long, the blimp-like Airlander 10 is the largest aircraft currently flying.

It's a plane, it's a blimp … it's the world's largest aircraft.
A massive airship dubbed the Airlander 10 recently completed a successful test flight, bringing the helium-filled behemoth one step closer to commercial use.
Though it looks like a massive blimp, the Airlander 10 combines technology from airplanes, helicopters and airships. It is designed to stay aloft at altitudes of up to 20,000 feet (6,100 meters) for up to five days when manned, according to Hybrid Air Vehicles, the company that built the aircraft. And at a mammoth 302 feet (92 m) long, it is the largest aircraft currently flying. [In Photos: Building the World’s Largest Airship (Airlander 10)]
On May 10, the Airlander 10 flew for a total of 180 minutes to test the aircraft's handling, improved landing technology and more, according to Hybrid Air Vehicles. This was only the third flight of the Airlander 10. It first debuted as HAV-304, and successfully flew in 2012 as part of the U.S. Army’s Long Endurance Multi-intelligence Vehicle program. The reimagined and modified Airlander 10 made its maiden voyage in August 2016, kicking off a flight test program to assess the aircraft's performance and attempting to fly the airship farther away from its base in Cardington, England.
This latest flight had two main objectives, beyond safely completing a takeoff, flight and landing. The first was to determine how the Airlander handles, including the aircraft's new, additional "landing feet" that make up the Auxiliary Landing System (ALS). The second was to collect data on the flight's performance, such as airspeed, according to Hybrid Air Vehicles.
During the successful test flight, the Airlander 10 "handled superbly," said Dave Burns, the Airlander 10's chief test pilot. A statement from Hybrid Air Vehicles said the flight test team was "very pleased" with its initial analysis of the Airlander 10.
Hybrid Air Vehicles said the Airlander 10 could one day be used for search and rescue missions, by border control agents, for crowd monitoring, security, filming or academic research.
"There will also be passenger variants for the ultimate flying experience and eventually Hybrid Air Vehicles will fulfil a crucial role in point-to-point cargo transportation to remote areas," company officials said in a statement.
An artificial Venus flytrap can open and then close on cue, just like its namesake in nature, according to a new study. Scientists said this flexible gripping device could give soft robots a way to grasp and release objects autonomously, without the need for programming or computer-controlled parts.
"If you want to make something intelligent, oftentimes it's made using computers and some control circuitry that incorporates sensors and detectors. You have a system with many different pieces that have to be integrated to make the device work," said the study’s lead researcher Arri Priimagi, an associate professor of chemistry and bioengineering at Tampere University of Technology in Finland. [Biomimicry: 7 Clever Technologies Inspired by Nature]
The team tried to make this simpler he told Live Science.
Priimagi and his colleagues described their device in a study published online today (May 23) in the journal Nature Communications.
Although the device could serve in a range of applications, from biomedical manipulators to microchip-assembly lines to warehouse robots that stock shelves, Priimagi said he hasn't devoted much time to thinking about how the technology might be used.
"This wasn't application-driven," he said.
The artificial Venus flytrap could be used to help soft robots grasp and release objects autonomously, according to the researchers.

In nature, the carnivorous Venus flytrap waits with its jaw-like leaves open until an insect descends to drink from a nectar gland inside the plant. Last year, a study published in the journal Current Biology by researchers at the University of Würzburg in Germany, showed that the plant doesn't react instantly if a fly lands on it. Instead, hair-like sensors inside the flytraps' leaves need to be triggered twice in 20 seconds for the jaws to close, and five times to trigger the production of digestive enzymes, the scientists found.
Priimagi's gripper doesn't trap or ingest insects, but it does use a stimulus in order to close its trap, he said. What's more, the power source, sensors and devices that convert energy into motion are combined into one simple device.
The device has two main components: an optical fiber stem and a leaf made from a light-responsive liquid crystal elastomer. When open, the leaf and the fiber form a capital letter "T."
When light in the fiber-optic stem shines up through the leaf and out into the air, it creates a cone-shaped beam. If an object passes into the beam, light scatters back to the bendy leaf, triggering molecules inside the material that respond by changing shape. This changing of shape generates heat, causing the molecules to misalign, and this creates a bend in the elastomer. The leaf closes, opening when the light is turned off.
The leaf is tiny: a strip measuring no longer than 0.4 inches (1 centimeter) and thinner than a strand of human hair. But because it's made of soft material that becomes even softer when it heats up a bit, the leaf's gripping strength is high, the researchers said. It's able to grasp objects that have a mass hundreds of times higher than itself, the scientists added.
In lab experiments, the team showed that the device could grab objects of any shape, including round or square objects, as well as random bits of Styrofoam and thin sheets covered with reflective material, such as aluminum foil. The scientists used lasers for the study, but Priimagi said they could do the same with LEDs or even with white light.
"We just need light and optical fibers," he said.
Priimagi said his team has more work to do, such as experimenting with different colors of light, finding ways to move heavier objects and making the device snap shut more quickly, the way a real Venus flytrap does.
Vorig jaar begonnen eigenlijk de eerste meldingen binnen te komen van UFO’s die zich ophielden in de buurt van chemtrails.
Dat schijnen geen incidenten te zijn geweest, want ze worden nu op meerdere plaatsen gesignaleerd in de buurt van vliegtuigen die enorme “vliegtuigstrepen” achter laten.
Wanneer er eens een keer een UFO wordt gesignaleerd in de buurt van een chemtrail, dan zou je nog van toeval kunnen spreken. Komt dit echter op regelmatige basis voor, dan zit er wellicht een bepaalde reden achter waarom ze dit doen.
Na een aantal meldingen vorig jaar zijn er nu weer twee binnen een tijdsbestek van enkele weken. En dat zijn natuurlijk alleen nog maar de UFO’s die zijn opgemerkt in de buurt van chemtrails, want ook dat is niet altijd even gemakkelijk.
Er zijn nu zoveel waarnemingen, dat we vergissingen kunnen uitsluiten en dat roept natuurlijk de bekende vragen op: wie zijn het en wat willen ze?
De eerste melding is afkomstig van Mufon (nummer 83933) en het betreft hier een man uit de Engelse plaats Newton Abbot, die zegt dat hij op 22 mei naar buiten in de tuin ging omdat het een mooie zonnige dag was.
Hij keek naar de lucht waar regelmatig vliegtuigen over kwamen, maar daar zag hij verder geen bijzondere dingen. Newton Abbot ligt niet ver van het vliegveld van Execter, dus het betrof dan waarschijnlijk aankomend of vertrekkend verkeer van dat veld.
Op een gegeven moment werd zijn aandacht getrokken door een vliegtuig dat veel hoger vloog en volgde dit.
Toen zag hij plotseling een vreemd onbekend object dat zich richting het passagierstoestel begaf. Of beter gezegd, het bewoog zich naar de enorme chemtrail achter het vliegtuig en vloog hierlangs en haalde het als het ware in.
Op gelijke hoogte aangekomen, bleef het met dezelfde snelheid vliegen voor een tijdje en verloor toen kennelijk belangstelling, want het boog af en verdween met grote snelheid.
Deze UFO heeft volgens de getuige de grootte van het passagiersvliegtuig, maar hij merkte ook op dat er zich op een gegeven moment kleine zwarte bollen losmaakten van de UFO. Het hoe en waarom daarvan is een raadsel.
Hierna volgen de opnames die deze man wist te maken:
Ook daar zie je op een gegeven van rechtsboven een UFO naar beneden duiken richting chemtrail, alsof het wil onderzoeken welke ellende daar in het luchtruim wordt gesproeid.
Net zoals wat de getuige in Engeland beschrijft, lijkt het alsof degene die deze UFO’s onder controle heeft ronduit nieuwsgierig is.
Anderzijds was er vorig jaar natuurlijk die spectaculaire opname van een UFO die als het ware een chemtrail opeet.
Vooralsnog blijft het een mysterie wie of wat deze UFO’s zijn, waar ze vandaan komen, wie ze controleert en vooral ook waarom ze zoveel belangstelling hebben voor chemtrails.
Duidelijk lijkt dat zij zich meer zorgen maken over wat er in onze atmosfeer terechtkomt, dan dat de meesten hier op aarde dat doen. In dit artikel tref je een lijst van stoffen en hun schadelijke effecten op de gezondheid van flora en fauna.
A new crop circle which appeared this week in Dorset, England, is unusual not so much for its shape but for its close proximity to the mysterious hill figure known as the Cerne Abbas Giant and the earthworks called the Trendle or Frying Pan. Are these new and old (although that’s a subject of debate) formations related?
The website Crop Circle Connector provides an excellent drone video and close-up photographs of the crop circle. Both show details of the swirls left when whoever or whatever knocked down the wheat to create the pattern. The pattern itself is pretty simplistic compared to the more complex crop circles that tend to get them all of the attention. The comments section of the website contains an analysis by well-known crop circle expert Dr. Horace Drew, who claims he can decode crop circles, says many of them contain messages from aliens and human time travelers and professes that he can identify man-made (by today’s humans) crop circles.
Dr. Drew says this one is “paranormally real” (not man-made) and gives comparisons to its shape and various religious symbols. The intersecting circles looks like a Vesica Piscis, a symbol for Christ, and the almond-shaped intersection is a popular framing device for surrounding religious icons in many religions. So in this case, the shape could be a symbol of Christ emitting rays – another popular picture.
Interpretations of the crop circle provided by Dr. Drew
However, the religious aspects don’t necessarily fit with the crop circle’s close proximity to the Cerne Abbas Giant – whose looks and history are as controversial as many crop circles. The most well-known features of the crushed chalk outline of a large naked man are his large erection and his large club – that’s not a redundancy. While some have tried to date the figure back to Roman times because of its resemblance to Hercules, it’s not mentioned in historical documents until the late 17th century. An interesting theory is that it may be a satirical drawing of Oliver Cromwell.
The crop circle (left) and the giant (right) are too close for coincidence
It the crop circle and the hill figure – particularly the giant’s “lower” club – are related, then the circle takes on the resemblance of a female’s sexual organ. That would make sense if the crop circle was man-made, but Dr. Drew says it’s “paranormally real.”
What about the Frying Pan? Located above and to the right of the Giant’s head, the trendle (which means ‘hoop’) or frying pan would predate a 17th century Giant. Most experts believe it’s the remnants of a temple and was later used for maypole dancing – a maypole would be erected in its center and childless couples would circle it in a fertility dance.
The Giant and the Frying Pan
Erect a pole? Giant erection? Fertility dance? Crop circle in the shape of a female sex organ? Despite Dr. Drew’s comment that “For people who think about “sex” all of the time, this might seem to be a good theory!”, it actually seems like this is the most likely connection … even for people who don’t think about sex all of the time.
Whatever the case and whatever the cause, this new crop circle provides a great reason to call attention to one of Britain’s unique features – the Cerne Abbas Giant – and to ponder why an alien or time traveler would choose that shape for a nearby crop circle.
I was interested to see Paul Seaburn’s new article, “New Film Suggests Marilyn Monroe Was About To Reveal Aliens.” It’s a saga that dates back to the mid-1990s and which is clearly not going to go away anytime soon, as this latest development shows. The vast majority of the story is reliant on a controversial document of questionable origins and of equally questionable authenticity. Allegedly, it’s a CIA document dated August 3, 1962 and which deals with Marilyn Monroe’s supposed knowledge of Roswell and UFO-themed conspiracies. You can find the document here.
What particularly interests me about the “Monroe document” is not so much what it says, but what it specifically doesn’t say. Despite what many researchers have said, there is not even a single reference in the document to aliens, extraterrestrials, flying saucers, or UFOs. Not a single one. In fact, the wording could actually push the whole thing down a very different path. I’ll explain what I mean by that. But, first, let’s see how and under what circumstances the controversial one-page document surfaced.
It all began in 1995, at a Los Angeles-based press conference. It was a press conference held by a man named Milo Speriglio. He was a guy with a deep interest in the circumstances surrounding Marilyn’s death. Speriglio was so interested in her final day that he wrote three books on the issues of her life and still-controversial death. They were Crypt 33, The Marilyn Conspiracy, and Marilyn Monroe: Murder Cover-Up. Until 1995, Speriglio had not made any kind of connection between the Hollywood uber-babe and UFOs. So, what was it that prompted Speriglio to head off into new and highly inflammatory territory? It was a revelation from a man named Timothy Cooper.
Today, many people within Ufology might not recognize that name. But, from the early-to-late 1990s, Cooper – of Big Bear Lake, California – was a well-known figure in Ufology. He was also a controversial figure, too. Most of the controversy stemmed from the fact that Cooper claimed to have received a wealth of old, sensational, leaked documents from retired figures in the intelligence community – almost all of them on crashed UFOs, Roswell, dead aliens, and the notorious Majestic 12 group.
There’s no doubt that the documents existed (and still exist). You can find PDF versions of most of them at Ryan Wood’s MajesticDocuments.com website. There are literally hundreds of pages. The big question is: are they the real deal? When the papers were made available, there were those researchers who believed that the documents were 100 percent real. Some considered them to be government disinformation. And others were firmly of the opinion that Cooper had created them himself. The controversy raged for a while, but finally imploded upon itself with barely a sigh. The Marilyn document was one of those which Cooper claimed to have received from one of his various sources, or as I call them “ufological Snowdens.”
I know quite a bit about the Cooper papers (including the Marilyn Monroe document), as the following extract from my new book, The Roswell UFO Conspiracy, makes clear (QUOTE): “It’s a little known fact that in late 2001 Tim Cooper sold all of his voluminous UFO files to Dr. Robert M. Wood. Bob is the author of Alien Viruses and the father of Ryan Wood, who has spent years researching alleged crashed UFO incidents – all detailed in his book, Majic Eyes Only. It is even less well-known that in the early days of 2002, Bob hired me to spend a week in an Orange County, California-based motel-room, surrounded by all of the thousands upon thousands of pages of Cooper’s voluminous collection of the cosmic sort. The plan was for me to catalog all of the material, to compile each and every piece of it into chronological order, and to summarize the content of each document, every letter, and every Freedom of Information request that Cooper had submitted to government agencies – which is precisely what I did. It was a week in which I most definitely earned my loot. It was also a week that paralleled the infamous story told by Hunter S. Thompson in his classic gonzo saga, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Whereas Thompson was hunkered down with his whisky, margaritas and shrimp cocktails, for me it was cases of cold beer and club sandwiches” (END OF QUOTE).
Hunter S. Thompson
Contained within that huge amount of material at my disposal was the Monroe document – the original one that Cooper is said to have received from one of his sources. There were also a number of FOIA requests from Cooper that he had sent to various military and intelligence agencies, in search of any and all files on Marilyn Monroe. Cooper was clearly seeking out as much as he could find on Marilyn and UFOs – regardless of the actual origin of the document. For around eight weeks, Speriglio did absolutely nothing with the document, aside from sitting on it and pondering on what his next move should be. What Speriglio finally did was to hold that aforementioned press-conference. And that’s how the story began and how the document and its contents spilled over into the UFO research community.
One of the lesser known aspects of this story is that Speriglio made a very brief comment to the effect that copies of the document were in the hands of what he described as “two federal agencies.” At the press conference, Speriglio flatly refused to reveal the identities of the two agencies. And he refused to reveal the names when questioned later, too. So far, nothing of any substance has ever surfaced in relation to what, exactly, those two agencies may have done with the document. If anything, at all, of course.
Now, let’s take a look at the contents of the document. Most of those contents are focused on conversations between two people: Dorothy Kilgallen and a friend named Howard Rothberg. The former was a well-known figure in the field of celebrity-journalism in the 1950s and who was deeply interested in the JFK assassination (see this link for more information). As an aside, when the Speriglio-Cooper document surfaced, I fired off FOIA requests to the CIA and FBI and received copies of their files on Kilgallen. The CIA papers were few and brief, to say the least. The FBI, however, mailed me close to 170 pages on Kilgallen, demonstrating that she was someone watched closely by J. Edgar Hoover’s Special-Agents.
J. Edgar Hoover
As for what the purported CIA document states, there is this: “Rothberg discussed the apparent comeback of [Marilyn Monroe] with Kilgallen and the break up with the Kennedys. Rothberg told Kilgallen that she was attending Hollywood parties hosted by the ‘inner circle’ among Hollywood’s elite and was becoming the talk of the town again. Rothberg indicated in so many words, that she had secrets to tell, no doubt arising from her trists [sic] with the President and the Attorney General.”
Now, we get to the crux of the story. The document states: “One such [illegible] mentions the visit by the President at a secret air base for the purpose of inspecting things from outer space. Kilgallen replied that she knew what might be the source of the visit. In the mid-fifties Kilgallen learned of secret effort by US and UK governments to identify the origins of crashed spacecraft and dead bodies, from a British government official. Kilgallen believed the story may have come from the [illegible] in the late forties. Kilgallen said that if the story is true, it could cause terrible embarrassment to Jack and his plans to have NASA put men on the moon.”
It is true that Dorothy Kilgallen wrote – briefly – about UFOs back in 1955. While vacationing in the U.K. in that year, Kilgallen was on the receiving end of a very odd story, as she noted: “I can report today on a story which is positively spooky, not to mention chilling. British scientists and airmen, after examining the wreckage of one mysterious flying ship, are convinced these strange aerial objects are not optical illusions or Soviet inventions, but are flying saucers which originate on another planet. The source of my information is a British official of cabinet rank who prefers to remain unidentified.”
Dorothy Kilgallen (left)
That same “British official of cabinet rank” reportedly advised Kilgallen of the following: “We believe, on the basis of our inquiry thus far, that the saucers were staffed by small men – probably under four feet tall. It’s frightening, but there’s no denying the flying saucers come from another planet.” Kilgallen had more to say: “This official quoted scientists as saying a flying ship of this type could not have possibly been constructed on Earth. The British Government, I learned, is withholding an official report on the ‘flying saucer’ examination at this time, possibly because it does not wish to frighten the public. When my husband and I arrived here from a brief vacation, I had no premonition that I would be catapulting myself into the controversy over whether flying saucers are real or imaginary.”
The references in the document to Marilyn having “secrets to tell” (secrets supposedly shared with her by JFK and RFK) have led a number of UFO investigators to conclude that Marilyn was killed because of what she knew about Roswell. The alleged CIA document goes on to refer to Monroe’s “diary of secrets,” “what the newspapers would do with such disclosures,” and how she had “threatened to hold a press conference and would tell all.” A countdown to death, all in the name of maintaining UFO secrecy? Well, yes, that’s how it seems. But, in Ufology practically nothing is as it seems.
It’s important to note that at the top of the document there is a reference to a Project Moon Dust. In a January 2017 article I wrote for Mysterious Universe on Moon Dust I stated: “Over the years, ufologists have given a great deal of attention to a certain U.S. military program called Project Moon Dust (also referred to as Moondust). Its origins date back to the 1950s. The reason why so much attention has been placed upon Project Moon Dust is because of its potential connection to the issue of alleged crashed and recovered UFOs held by elements of the U.S. military – crash-retrievals or C/Rs as they are generally known. But, was Moon Dust really the key operation in secretly locating and recovering crashed ships from faraway worlds?”
No, it was not. A November 3, 1961 U.S. Air Force document states: ““In addition to their staff duty assignments, intelligence team personnel have peacetime duty functions in support of such Air Force projects as Moondust, Bluefly, and UFO, and other AFCIN directed quick reaction projects which require intelligence team operational capabilities…Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO): Headquarters USAF has established a program for investigation of reliably reported unidentified flying objects within the United States. AFR 200-2 delineates 1127th collection responsibilities…”
That all sounds very interesting…but…if you take a careful look at all of the Moon Dust documents in the public domain (which I have done), it becomes very clear that when the military was referring to “UFOs” in their files they were not talking about alien spacecraft. Rather, they were referencing probable space debris that originated with the former Soviet Union. Which brings me back to the document that got Milo Speriglio fired up.
Keep Moon Dust in mind as you read the following. You’ll recall that earlier in this article I stated the following: “Despite what many researchers have said, there is not even a single reference in the document to dead aliens, extraterrestrials, flying saucers, or UFOs. Not a single one.” That’s absolutely true. What it really says is that JFK allegedly traveled to “…a secret air base for the purpose of inspecting things from outer space.” No references to aliens or to extraterrestrial ships. The document also refers to “crashed spacecraft and dead bodies.” But, again, no specific references to mangled E.T.s or wrecked saucers.
Now, some might say that references to “dead bodies,” to “things from outer space,” and to “crashed spacecraft” are references to Roswell and deceased aliens. On the other hand, however, the very fact that the document references Project Moon Dust suggests another possibility. Namely, that the subject-matter may have been a failed – and still unknown – early Soviet manned-mission into space. One which predated Yuri Gagarin’s flight into outer space on April 12, 1961. There is another bit of data that supports this scenario. Recall that the document states: “Kilgallen said that if the story is true, it could cause terrible embarrassment to Jack and his plans to have NASA put men on the moon.” For ufologists this is – or should be – a problem.
Why on Earth would widespread knowledge of the existence of aliens “cause terrible embarrassment to Jack and his plans to have NASA put me on the moon?” The answer is: it wouldn’t. If such information on aliens reached the public it certainly would have caused widespread fear, wonder and amazement among the public – and within government, too. But, specifically provoking embarrassment in relation to plans to put a man on the Moon? That doesn’t make any sense. If, however, those “dead bodies” were Soviet cosmonauts, if the “crashed spacecraft” was a Russian rocket, and if the Soviets did have a number of unsuccessful manned-missions that predated Gagarin – and that such information threatened to surface during the time Kennedy was in office – then yes that would have caused significant embarrassment for the JFK administration – and, possibly, for NASA.
So, where does all of this leave us? Admittedly, since the Marilyn document first surfaced in 1995, my views and opinions have gone back and forth. I think it’s probably a hoax. Probably. Mainly because it gives Ufology just about all the things it wants and yearns for: the references to “dead bodies” and “crashed spacecraft” inevitably provoke Roswell-like imagery. The mention of a “secret air base” effortlessly points us in the direction of Area 51, thus adding another layer of sensational conspiracy to the story. The JFK-UFO angle reinforces the belief in some quarters that Kennedy was whacked because of what he knew about Roswell. The same with Marilyn, too. It’s The X-Files-meets-Dark Skies-meets-Oliver Stone’s JFK.
But, I have to admit, I do find it intriguing that whoever really wrote the document, they were extremely vague in terms of what they were talking about. I have seen more than a few questionable UFO documents in my time, and the one thing that nearly all of them share is an explicit, collective reference to ETs, aliens, flying saucers, and extraterrestrial craft. In other words, there is no doubt about the subject-matter: creatures from other worlds.
For me, though, the Marilyn document remains interesting because of the undeniable haziness of what it says. Or of what it doesn’t say. It doesn’t tell the reader that aliens crashed anywhere – despite the assumptions of Ufology. So, maybe, with that in mind, there is something to the document, after all. That’s not a case of me fence-sitting. As I said, I think it’s a hoax. But, if it is, then a great deal of thought went into it. As did a great deal of restraint – in terms of the unclear subject-matter. Maybe, there’s another answer: that we’re seeing a document crafted by disinformation experts to confuse Ufology, and for reasons presently unknown.
In light of all the above, it’s not surprising the document is still “alive and kicking,” close to a quarter of a century after it surfaced.
Alien life could exist on Pluto and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, claim scientists
Alien life could exist on Pluto and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, claim scientists
EVERYTHING we believe about the universe could change, with several planets in our very own solar system may host alien life, stargazers have discovered.
Does alien life exist? Scientists are closer than ever to finding out thanks to the Kepler Space Telescope. This revolutionary spacecraft is on a mission to find habitable alien planets.
ALIEN hunters may be one step closer to finding ET.
Several planets in our very own solar system may host alien life, stargazers have discovered.
The Sun reports Saturn’s moon Enceladus, Jupiter’s moon Europa, Pluto and its moon Charon, as well as the dwarf planet Ceres are potential homes for extraterrestrials, scientists at University of Texas at San Antonio and the Southwest Research Institute claim.
It’s all down to a process called radiolysis, which experts believe could breed life across the universe.
All that’s needed is a rocky core and water molecules — something scientists reckon our solar system has plenty of.
The study found that a the rocky cores of some planets and moons emit radiation which break up water molecules and in turn feed microbial life.
Scientists conducted an experiment to predict how the radiation would affect interior oceans on planets like Pluto and Saturn’s moon Europa.
Alexis Bouquet, lead author said: “The physical and chemical processes that follow radiolysis release molecular hydrogen, which is a molecule of astrobiological interest.”
The radiation comes from elements like uranium, potassium and thorium — all of which are found in a group of rocky meteorites called chrondites.
Pluto, as well as Saturn and Jupiter’s moons, is made up of chrondite.
That means any ocean water permeating the porous rock of the core could be affected by radiolysis, producing molecular hydrogen and reactive oxygen compounds — the building blocks for life.

NASA seems pretty convinced that Europa has a big ocean on it, and is planning to send a spaceship there to search for alien life.
Lifeforms which have formed through radiolysis can be found closer to home.
Bouquet said that they have been found in extreme environments on Earth.
These include a groundwater sample found nearly two miles deep in a South African gold mine and at hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor.
Their existence suggests microbes could be found where rock and ocean meet in planets like Enceladus or Europa.
“We know that these radioactive elements exist within icy bodies, but this is the first systematic look at the solar system to estimate radiolysis.
“The results suggest that there are many potential targets for exploration out there, and that’s exciting,” added co-author Dr Danielle Wyrick, a principal scientist in Southwest Research Institute’s Space Science and Engineering Division.
Radiolysis could also help create food for these aliens.
“Radiolysis in an ocean world’s outer core could be fundamental in supporting life. Because mixtures of water and rock are everywhere in the outer solar system, this insight increases the odds of abundant habitable real estate out there,” Bouquet said.
It’s just the latest discovery to delight UFO hunters.
Conspiracy theorists tongues were wagging after a mysterious star which could be home to alien life began flashing again last week.

Canadian witness describes cigar-shaped UFO
Canadian witness describes cigar-shaped UFO
A Canadian witness at Ottawa reported watching a white-gray colored, cigar-shaped object hovering and then moving away at incredible speed and making no sound, according to testimony in Case 83359 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was alone on a home balcony smoking a cigarette at 4:30 a.m. on April 23, 2017, gazing at the “waning crescent moon.”
“As I was observing the moon, thinking about different non-related things in my mind, I all of a sudden noticed a big, cigar-shaped object a couple degrees to the right of the moon,” the witness stated.

The witness described the object.
“The object seemed large. It was of a white-gray color, cylindrical-shaped. What seemed to be the front of the cylinder was a couple degrees upward and the bottom a couple degrees downward. In other words, it was at an angle. It did not move. It was static in the sky at the moment I noticed it.”
Cropped version of the witness illustration.

The witness was confused and did not know what the object was.
“A lapse of three seconds went by until the object seemed to pulsate with a white, circular light at the bottom end of the ship. In a fraction of a second after this pulse was emitted, the object propelled itself at an incredible speed. The movement lasted about a second. At the end of the second, the object pulsated another white circular light. This time at the front of the ship. And it seemed to have entered this light and disappeared. There were absolutely no sounds emitted whatsoever before, during or after the incident.”

The witness noted that Ottawa Airport is about two minutes away from where the sighting happened.
“I am used to seeing airplanes taking off or flying by. I always hear them, and I am more than certain that this was no plane. This object was huge, had no wings. It was static in the air. It made no sounds whatsoever. It flew at a speed of a shooting star upwards and disappeared.”

After the incident, the witness went inside and woke up a friend.
“I told him what had happened, but he was really sleepy, so he went to bed. I have attached a sketch of what I saw and I have enumerated the sequence of how the event happened.”

Witness describes helicopter chasing ball of light
Witness describes helicopter chasing ball of light
A Kansas witness at Lawrence reported watching a military helicopter apparently chasing an orange ball of light moving overhead under 1,000 feet, according to testimony in Case 83535 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness went outside upon hearing a low flying helicopter on May 4, 2017. Pictured: Lawrence, Kansas.

The witness was inside an apartment watching television when the sound of a helicopter was heard at 11:15 p.m. on May 4, 2017.
“It sounded very low and powerful, so I figured it had to be military, and I, being a total nerd, had to run out to the parking lot to get a look,” the witness stated.“By the time I was out my door and in the parking lot, I had just enough time to watch a small, orange ball of light being chased by what I assume to be a Blackhawk helicopter (because of size and sound) disappear behind the rooftops of the buildings east of me.”
This struck the witness as bizarre.
“I saw something similar some months ago in the same general area – the skies south of Lawrence. I live on the south side of town, not far from Baker Wetlands.”
The witness saw a military helicopter apparently chasing an orange ball of light.

The witness described the event.
“The light was small and orange in color and was about 50-100 yards ahead of the helicopter. It made no erratic movements, but was travelling at a fair clip as the helicopter was tracking it at almost the exact speed and it was moving pretty quickly.”
The witness does not believe the orange light could have been a sky lantern.
“I have my doubts that this could’ve been a paper lantern – though the color and intensity of the light were similar to one – and the distance ahead of the helicopter rules out a refueling boom. I’d give the altitude of the two objects to be between 500-1,000 feet AGL and the speed of both to be about 100 knots at the time I saw them.”
The witness noted there was one other object in the sky.
Both objects were flying under 1,000 feet. Pictured: Lawrence, Kansas.

“I saw another object in the sky in the general area at the same time, though it may not have been connected. This object seemed to be an aircraft judging by the red and white lights it had on it, but it hovered in place for a moment until the lights slowly faded out with no apparent change in location. The direction I was looking toward would be about a straight line to KCI, so I wasn’t immediately suspicious, but – having seen plenty of air traffic heading to and from KCI on that flight path – this didn’t look like anything I’d seen before – and no landing lights. I mention this because it was odd and because the previous sighting of a few months earlier of the same kind of event had two helicopters chasing the light instead of just one. Maybe this was the second.”

SHOCK CLAIM: Footage of ‘alien UFO being tested at Area 51 leaked’
SHOCK CLAIM: Footage of ‘alien UFO being tested at Area 51 leaked’
VIDEO footage showing an unidentifiable object flying above the ground was leaked out of the mysterious Area 51 US Air Force (USAF) base, it has been claimed.
Video released on YouTube shows grainy footage of a flying object which appears to rise and hover in the sky.
Conspiracy theorists believe the video to have been recorded in the late Eighties or early Nineties.
The "UFO" appears to emit a light as it seems to move from side to side.
Secureteam10 is behind the release and its producer Tyler Glockner claims in the video it is some of the most compelling UFO evidence out there.
He said in a video about the clip: "It is alleged to have been recorded back in mid to early 1990s or possible even late 1980s.
"It is said to be of an alien vehicle being tested over the very secretive base known as Area 51."
But, sceptical ufologist Scott Brando, who runs hoax busting website ufoofinterest.org said the video was not even recorded at Area 51, but another top-secret USAF base in Nevada.
GETTY*YouTube
The footage was not filmed at Area 51, but at the Nellis base.
Mr Brando provided the same footage which was said to have been recorded at the Nellis Air Force base in Las Vegas on May 30 1995.
He regularly highlights Secureteam10 for misleading its more than 750,000 subscribers.
He, and a number of UFO hoax busters claim to have exposed its use of CGI footage and misrepresentation, and the channel appears on a numb roy UFO website blacklists.
Mr Glockner denies being a deliberate hoaxer, and claims his research is genuine.
He added in his new video: "It's one of the mysterious pieces in UFOlogy - a hidden gem."
The heavily guarded Area 51, deep in the Nevada desert, is at the centre of many alien-related conspiracy theories, but so is the Nellis base.
It is claimed that alien flying saucers have crashed on Earth, such as the alleged 1947 Roswell incident, and that the wreckage and even corpses have been taken to both bases to be analysed away from public view.
It is alleged to have been recorded back in mid to early 1990s or possible even late 1980s.
Tyler Glockner
One theory suggests that USAF scientists have tried to back engineer the alien technology to create their own top-secret spy craft capable of travelling into space.
The conspiracy theories have been fuelled by the fart the US Government did not acknowledge Area 51 existed until 2013.
But, it is accepted that the USAF does secretly test new aircraft there, with the U-2 spy plane, SR-71 Blackbird, and the F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter all developed there.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said: "Area 51 has always been a magnet for those who believe the US Government knows a lot more about UFOs than they are prepared to reveal to the public.
"People like the late Boyd Bushman, a senior scientist who worked for Lockheed Martin, have declared that Area 51 is a base where extraterrestrial spacecraft and technology is stored and examined."
Mr Brando said he believes the 1995 footage from the Nellis base is a standard military craft or other operation taking place, and that there is no evidence to connect it to alien technology.
Mr Brando told Express.co.uk: "It's old footage published in the 1990's by several UFO magazines with VHS.
"We don't know if the audio of the video is original or counterfeit.
"These kinds of movies were deliberately cut and packed for the mentioned magazines."

UFO BOMBSHELL: Could this memo solve Roswell 'flying saucer' crash mystery?
UFO BOMBSHELL: Could this memo solve Roswell 'flying saucer' crash mystery?
DECIPHERING this memo captured in an alleged image of the remains of whatever crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, nearly 70 years ago, could solve the world's biggest ever UFO mystery, it has been claimed.
Mr Ramey holding the memo (circled) in the picture in question.
Roswell has been at the heart of the alien hunter scene since the military sensationally announced in a press release in July 1947 it had found a crashed flying saucer in the desert nearby.
But the following day the statement was retracted and officials said the debris was in fact a damaged US Air Force air balloon.
Witnesses later came forward to say there had been a cover up and alien bodies were found within the "crashed craft", which along with the wreckage were then taken to the mysterious top-secret Area 51 military base in Nevada.
The alleged cover up has become the world's biggest UFO conspiracy theory.
The photograph in question shows General Roger Ramey in his office at Fort Worth Army Air Field, later known as Carswell Air Force Base.
He is holding a memo and crouching over debris that he claimed was from the Roswell crash and was identifiable as coming from a weather balloon.

The Ramey memo in close up.
But, many UFO researchers doubt the debris in the photo is actually from the object which crashed outside Roswell in July, 1947. They say it is was used as part of a cover up.
They believe the text in the memo could proves their claims once and for all.
Just hours before the pictures were taken, the public information officer at Roswell Army Air Field, sent out the infamous press release saying they had discovered the remains of a crashed flying saucer.
This was on the orders of his superior, Colonel William Blanchard.
Then the story gets stranger.
Jesse Marcel was the intelligence officer who was sent to inspect and collect the material a day earlier.
He was ordered to bring the material to Fort Worth.
He later testified that when he got to Fort Worth, he was taken to Mr Ramey’s office where a photographer and chief of staff, Colonel Thomas Dubious, were waiting.
He claimed on the floor was different material that clearly came from a weather balloon and he was made to pose with it as if it was the debris he collected.
These were the pictures that accompanied the subsequent article which claimed a mistake had been made and it was a weather balloon and not a UFO.
Alejandro Rojas, a presenter for Open Minds Radio, said: "Marcel says he was ordered to go along with the story, and like a good soldier, he did what he was told, no questions asked.
"Incidentally, Dubois also later claimed the debris in these photos were part of a cover-up. He said the weather balloon material was set out to trick the public.
"The weather balloon explanation was accepted by the press and the public.
"It was not until the 1980s, when witnesses like Marcel came forward that the incident began to catch the public’s attention."
But the plot thickens.
An inquiry into Roswell by New Mexico Congressman Steven Schiff, led to an admission from the Air Force that the weather balloon explanation was a cover-up.
He says it is clear that there is a reference to a disc, and believes he can also make out a portion of a sentence that reads 'and the victims of the wreck’.
Alejandro Rojas
But this inquiry still concluded there was nothing extraterrestrial.
The conclusion stated a top secret project called Project Mogul - to send balloons with sensitive listening devices used to detect Russian nuclear tests - was underway, and the debris was from one of these devices.
The weather balloon cover-up was to stop Project Mogul being compromised, the inquiry concluded.
But, now UFO researchers think modern technology could solve the case once and for all.
In the photos, the memo is seen in Mr Ramey's hands.
David Rudiak has used modern technology to zoom in on the text and claims to have deciphered some of the words.

David Rudiak claims to have deciphered these words in the memo.
He believes he is now able to read 80 percent of it.
Mr Rojas added: "He says it is clear that there is a reference to a disc, and believes he can also make out a portion of a sentence that reads 'and the victims of the wreck’.
"Rudiak says this proves that a disc-shaped craft was recovered.
"However, perhaps more startling, he says it also corroborates the claims that extraterrestrial bodies were recovered from that wreck."
The inquiry report said it had not been possible to decipher the text, saying: “The photo was sent to a national-level organisation for digitising and subsequent photo interpretation and analysis.
David-Rudiak
David Rudiak claims to have been able to read 80 percent of the memo.
“This organisation reported on July 20, 1994, that even after digitising, the photos were of insufficient quality to visualise either of the details sought for analysis.”
Not all researchers agree with Mr Rudiak’s interpretation, but it is felt more needs to be done to read the memo in full.
An anonymous donor has pledged a huge reward for information, says UFO author Kevin Randle.
In a blog titled “Ramey Memo and the $10,000 Reward”, he wrote: “A trusted colleague who is not a Ufologist but does have an interest in Roswell and UFOs and who has the money, has taken this in a slightly different direction.
"He is offering a $10,000 reward for the first person or group/lab that can provide a definite read of the Ramey memo.
“To claim the reward a number of criteria will need to be met, including full reproducibility of the result (with methodology of the individual/lab completely explained and transparent so that anyone knowledgeable can replicate in much the same way that the placard on the Not Roswell Slides was revealed).
"There must be overwhelming agreement that the result is definitive with most of the text clear enough that there is little or no disagreement on what it says across a broad spectrum of people of all opinions whether true believer or complete sceptic.”
But unlike the dramatic dimming event of two years ago, scientists are now prepared and organized to be able to figure out what the hell is going on with Tabby’s Star, thanks to the leadership of its namesake, Tabetha Boyajian.
Two years ago, Boyajian — now an astrophysicist at Louisiana State University — analyzed month’s-old data from NASA’s Kepler telescope, which has its eye trained on thousands of stars in a specific part of the universe. One star, KIC 8462852, behaved like no other. At one point, the star lost nearly a quarter of its radiance, an inexplicable event that earned it the “alien megastructure” name. Since the discovery, the star continues to flummox scientists. Although a number of decent theories have emerged, scientists have been eagerly waiting for Tabby’s Star to begin dimming again, giving them an opportunity to observe it as the darkening events unfold.
“It’s critical to keep an eye on it, stay on our toes, and see what comes,” Boyajian told Inverse.
The initial dip, announced on Friday, showed a three percent drop in radiance – which is quite a bit. If alien observers 1,300 light-years away from Earth were to watch our sun lose three percent of its radiance, something the size of Jupiter would have to obstruct the sun’s light.
Throughout the weekend, astronomers around the world observed the erratic star and sent their data to Boyajian, the ad-hoc expert for the star-watching operation. “This is the central clearing house for all the observations coming in,” she says.
Two NASA images of Tabby's Star, taken in Infrared (right) and UV. The star is located 1,300 light years from Earth.
The assumption is that something with a lot of mass is blocking out a considerable portion of Tabby’s light – perhaps a group of orbiting comets, a giant mess of planetary leftovers, or (probably unlikely) an alien superstructure that intelligent beings use to harness the star’s energy. To find out, scientists are looking at the spectrums of light coming from Tabby’s Star, because light is manipulated as it travels through different things, like expansive bodies of gas or hot cosmic dust. Boyajian hopes that these observations will reveal important insights about what this obstructing matter is, along with its temperature and density.
Although there are compelling ideas about what might be blocking the light, Boyajian doesn’t yet favor any particular hypothesis. “At this point I’m keeping an open mind,” she says. “We’re trying to stay responsible about not drawing any early conclusions.”
As of Monday, May 22, the three percent dip ended, as shown in the graph below, tweeted by Jason Wright, an astrophysicist at Penn State University. But, explains Boyajian, the previous dimming events came in clusters, so there’s a “good possibility that another event or dip will happen.”
Although the new activity just began, some scientists propose that the dimming events may keep to a schedule. The earlier Kepler data, examined by Boyajian, showed that the dips might occur around every two years. “It’s suggestive of something that is periodically dimming the star – perhaps something bound to the star,” says Brian Metzger, an astrophysicist at Columbia University.
In January, Metzger published a study proposing that an Earth-sized planet or moon got kicked a bit too close to Tabby’s Star, allowing Tabby to shred off its surface and mantle. Now, that big messy pile of planetary debris could be orbiting Tabby’s Star on a pretty consistent basis, periodically blotching out a significant amount of its light.
If so, scientists using infrared telescopes should be able to find some evidence of this hot debris, especially when it passes close to Tabby’s Star and gets sizzled by the star’s heat. “If we see this infrared evidence it will be strong support of our model,” explains Metzger.
As for a massive Dyson sphere – an alien super-structure designed to surround and harness a star’s energy – it’s still in the running, although it’s probably in last place. A distant last.
“Technically we haven’t ruled out anything,” says Metzger. “Let’s talk about the Dyson sphere when we have all the cards on the table.”

The Kardashev Scale – Type I, II, III, IV & V Civilization
The Kardashev Scale – Type I, II, III, IV & V Civilization
We have reached a turning point in society. According to renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, the next 100 years of science will determine whether we perish or thrive. Will we remain a Type 0 civilization, or will we advance and make our way into the stars?
Experts assert that, as a civilization grows larger and becomes more advanced, its energy demands will increase rapidly due to its population growth and the energy requirements of its various machines. With this in mind, the Kardashev scale was developed as a way of measuring a civilization’s technological advancement based upon how much usable energy it has at its disposal (this was originally just tied to energy available for communications, but has since been expanded).
MEET THE KARDASHEV SCALE
Credit: Chris Cold
The scale was originally designed in 1964 by the Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev (who was looking for signs of extraterrestrial life within cosmic signals). It has 3 base classes, each with an energy disposal level: Type I (10¹⁶W), Type II (10²⁶W), and Type III (10³⁶W). Other astronomers have extended the scale to Type IV (10⁴⁶W) and Type V (the energy available to this kind of civilization would equal that of all energy available in not just our universe, but in all universes and in all time-lines). These additions consider both energy access as well as the amount of knowledge the civilizations have access to.
First, it is important to note that the human race is not even on this scale yet. Since we still sustain our energy needs from dead plants and animals, here on Earth, we are a lowly Type 0 civilization (and we have a LONG way to go before being promoted to a type I civilization). Kaku tends to believe that, all things taken into consideration, we will reach Type I in 100 – 200 years time. But what does each of these categories actually stand for in literal terms?
A Type I designation is a given to species who have been able to harness all the energy that is available from a neighboring star, gathering and storing it to meet the energy demands of a growing population. This means that we would need to boost our current energy production over 100,000 times to reach this status. However, being able to harness all Earth’s energy would also mean that we could have control over all natural forces. Human beings could control volcanoes, the weather, and even earthquakes! (At least, that is the idea.) These kinds of feats are hard to believe, but compared to the advances that may still be to come, these are just basic and primitive levels of control (it’s absolutely nothing compared to the capabilities of societies with higher rankings).
The next step up – a Type II civilization– can harness the power of their entire star (not merely transforming starlight into energy, but controlling the star). Several methods for this have been proposed. The most popular of which is the hypothetical ‘Dyson Sphere.’ This device, if you want to call it that, would encompass every single inch of the star, gathering most (if not all) of its energy output and transferring it to a planet for later use. Alternatively, if fusion power (the mechanism that powers stars) had been mastered by the race, a reactor on a truly immense scale could be used to satisfy their needs. Nearby gas giants can be utilized for their hydrogen, slowly drained of life by an orbiting reactor.
What would this much energy mean for a species? Well, nothing known to science could wipe out a Type II civilization. Take, for instance, if humans survived long enough to reach this status, and a moon sized object entered our solar system on a collision course with our little blue planet–we’d have the ability to vaporize it out of existence. Or if we had time, we could move our planet out of the way, completely dodging it. But let’s say we didn’t want to move Earth… are there any other options? Well yes, because we’d have the capability to move Jupiter, or another planet of our choice, into the way – pretty cool, right?
So we’ve gone from having control over a planet, to a star, which has resulted in us harboring enough “disposable” energy to essentially make our civilization immune to extinction. But now, onto Type III, where a species then becomes galactic traversers with knowledge of everything having to do with energy, resulting in them becoming a master race. In terms of humans, hundreds of thousands of years of evolution – both biological and mechanical – may result in the inhabitants of this type III civilization being incredibly different from the human race as we know it. These may be cyborgs (or cybernetic organism, beings both biological and robotic), with the descendants of regular humans being a sub-species among the now-highly advanced society. These wholly biological humans would likely be seen as being disabled, inferior, or unevolved by their cybernetic counterparts.
At this stage, we would have developed colonies of robots that are capable of ‘self replication’; their population may increase into the millions as they spread out across the galaxy, colonizing star after star. And these being might build Dyson Spheres to encapsulate each one, creating a huge network that would carry energy back to the home planet. But stretching over the galaxy in such a manner would face several problems; namely, the species would be constrained by the laws of physics. Particularly, light-speed travel. That is, unless they develop a working warp drive, or use that immaculate energy cache to master wormhole teleportation (two things that remain theoretical for the time being), they can only get so far.

Kardashev believed a Type IV civilizationwas ‘too’ advanced and didn’t go beyond Type III on his scale. He thought that, surely, this would be the extent of any species’ ability. Many think so, but a few believe there is a further level that could be achieved. (I mean, surely there is a limit?) Type IV civilizations would almost be able to harness the energy content of the entire universe and with that, they could traverse the accelerating expansion of space (furthermore, advance races of these species may live inside supermassive black holes). To previous methods of generating energy, these kinds of feats are considered impossible. A Type IV civilization would need to tap into energy sources unknown to us using strange, or currently unknown, laws of physics.
Type V.Yes, Type V might just be the next possible advancement to such a civilization. Here beings would be like gods, having the knowledge to manipulate the universe as they please. Now, as I said, humans are a very, very long way from ever reaching anything like this. But it’s not to say that it cannot be achieved as long as we take care of Earth and each other. To do so, the first step is to preserve our tiny home, extinguish war, and continue to support scientific advances and discoveries.

A video from noted conspiracy theorists SecureTeam 10 describes what it calls "leaked" footage of an alien craft at Area 51 in Nevada.
The video, which has racked up over 200,000 views on YouTube, appears to show a flying object hovering in the sky, then flying in a way that known aircraft can not currently do.
Light emits from the craft as it moves side to side then up and down.
Here is the video in its entirety:
On the video, Tyler Glockner, who runs SecureTeam 10, described the clip as a "hidden gem," noting it was alleged to have been filmed in the 1980's or 1990's.
"It's one of the mysterious pieces in UFOlogy," Glockner said of the footage.
SecureTeam 10, which openly states that it runs conspiracy theory-based videos, has more than 900,000 subscribes to its YouTube channel.
Area 51 has become a hot topic for extraterrestrial enthusiasts, due to the U.S. government never acknowledging its presence until 2013.
The National Security Archive at George Washington University declassified CIA documents in August 2013, thanks to a freedom of information request (FOIA) by Archivist Jeffrey Richelson, which confirmed the existence of the Nevada military base.
The famed U-2 spy plane, as well as the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird are both confirmed to have been tested at Area 51.

In the icy bodies around our solar system, radiation emitted from rocky cores could break up water molecules and support hydrogen-eating microbes. To address this cosmic possibility, a University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) team modeled a natural water-cracking process called radiolysis. They then applied the model to several worlds with known or suspected interior oceans, including Saturn's moon Enceladus, Jupiter's moon Europa, Pluto and its moon Charon, as well as the dwarf planet Ceres
"The physical and chemical processes that follow radiolysis release molecular hydrogen (H2), which is a molecule of astrobiological interest," said Alexis Bouquet, lead author of the study published in the May edition of Astrophysical Journal Letters. Radioactive isotopes of elements such as uranium, potassium, and thorium are found in a class of rocky meteorites known as chondrites. The cores of the worlds studied by Bouquet and his co-authors are thought to have chondrite-like compositions. Ocean water permeating the porous rock of the core could be exposed to ionizing radiation and undergo radiolysis, producing molecular hydrogen and reactive oxygen compounds.
Bouquet, a student in the joint doctoral program between UTSA's Department of Physics and Astronomy and SwRI's Space Science and Engineering Division, explained that microbial communities sustained by H2 have been found in extreme environments on Earth. These include a groundwater sample found nearly 2 miles deep in a South African gold mine and at hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. That raises interesting possibilities for the potential existence of analogous microbes at the water-rock interfaces of ocean worlds such as Enceladus or Europa.
"We know that these radioactive elements exist within icy bodies, but this is the first systematic look across the solar system to estimate radiolysis. The results suggest that there are many potential targets for exploration out there, and that's exciting," says co-author Dr. Danielle Wyrick, a principal scientist in SwRI's Space Science and Engineering Division.
One frequently suggested source of molecular hydrogen on ocean worlds is serpentinization. This chemical reaction between rock and water occurs, for example, in hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor.

The key finding of the study is that radiolysis represents a potentially important additional source of molecular hydrogen. While hydrothermal activity can produce considerable quantities of hydrogen, in porous rocks often found under seafloors, radiolysis could produce copious amounts as well.
Radiolysis may also contribute to the potential habitability of ocean worlds in another way. In addition to molecular hydrogen, it produces oxygen compounds that can react with certain minerals in the core to create sulfates, a food source for some kinds of microorganisms.
"Radiolysis in an ocean world's outer core could be fundamental in supporting life. Because mixtures of water and rock are everywhere in the outer solar system, this insight increases the odds of abundant habitable real estate out there," Bouquet said.
Co-authors of the article, "Alternative Energy: Production of H2 by Radiolysis of Water in the Rocky Cores of Icy Bodies," are SwRI's Dr. Christopher R. Glein, Wyrick, and Dr. J. Hunter Waite, who also serves as a UTSA adjoint professor.
Stunning photos show rare UFO-shaped clouds over Devon -
Stunning photos show rare UFO-shaped clouds over Devon
by Zoe Stevens
The mysterious clouds appeared over Sidmouth on Sunday
These amazing pictures show bizarre flying saucer shaped clouds in the skies over Sidmouth which left residents astonished.
The mysterious clouds appeared to stack on top of each other, and the glowing phenomenon caught the attention of visitors and residents walking along the promenade on Sunday lunchtime.
A spokesman from the Met Office has explained that they are, in fact, ethereal clouds.
The spokesman said: "They are most likely stratocumulus clouds, stratocumulus lenticularis. These are wave clouds, probably generated as the south-easterly wind buffeted over the coastline on Sunday.
"These would have been quite short lived as drier, clearer air spread from the continent during the afternoon. The ragged bases of the clouds, especially in the second picture hint at some precipitation falling from them, but probably not enough to reach the surface. This is called virga."

New evidence emerges that Monroe planned to reveal JFK saw crashed UFOs
New evidence has just been released supporting the authenticity of a leaked CIA document allegedly of wiretaps of Marilyn Monroe and her friends shortly before her suspicious death on August 4, 1962. The wiretap document revealed that Monroe was planning to give a press conference about what President Kennedy had told her of a visit to an undisclosed Air Force facility where he saw the debris of a crashed UFO. The Monroe wiretap document was first leaked in 1992 to a UFO researcher, and was made public in 1994. It has not been confirmed by the CIA to be genuine, and remains open to dispute. The new evidence that was revealed yesterday shows that the leaked document conforms closely to a standard classified Information Report form used by the CIA in 1963. Either someone broke the law by forging or using a standard CIA Information Report form for classified reports at the time of Monroe’s death, or the Monroe wiretap document was indeed a classified report about a wiretap of Monroe and her friends.
This is what the alleged CIA wiretap document, dated August 3, 1962, had to say about Monroe’s knowledge of Kennedy and UFOs:
Rothberg indicated in so many words, that she [Monroe] had secrets to tell, no doubt arising from her trists [sic] with the President and the Attorney General. One such “secret” mentions the visit by the President at a secret air base for the purpose of inspecting things from outer space. 2. Subject repeatedly called the Attorney General and complained about the way she was being ignored by the President and his brother. 3. Subject threatened to hold a press conference and would tell all.
The discoverer of the CIA intelligence report is Lee Nicholson from the Outpost Forum. In his April 14 forum post he described what he found after visiting the CIA’s electronic reading room:
During the process of researching this article I spent several hours at the CIA’s electronic reading room looking at documents from the 1960s, in an attempt to find examples of similar typeface to that seen in our questioned document …. I discovered a CIA Information Report dated 18th March, 1963 with the subject heading: “Projected Soviet Space Launchings” which was declassified on the 16th of July 2011. This authentic CIA information report is an almost perfect match in style and presentation for the leaked ‘Marilyn document’.
Nicholson went on to describe new facts emerging from a comparison between the declassified CIA document and the Monroe wiretap document:
In fact a close comparison gleans some important new facts. Firstly, we can now see that both documents use the exact same form letter or template information report. Presumably the author would have a stack of these ‘blank’ forms which would be placed into a typewriter to add the relevant information before classification and distribution. We can also see that both documents contain the same secondary typeface, which is in fact Courier type commonly used on IBM typewriters in the 1960s.
Nicholson then described a series of parallels between the declassified 1963 Information Report and the leaked Monroe wiretap document. His conclusion was that they closely matched suggesting that the Monroe document is genuine.
The implications of the Monroe wiretap document being genuine are astounding. It reveals that only one day before her death, Monroe was planning a press conference that would reveal what President Kennedy had confidentially told her about UFOs. The fact that the CIA was monitoring her and wiretapping her phone calls, directly implicates the CIA in her suspicious death and the cover-up of information concerning UFOs.

Uit elkaar gevallen planeet of buitenaards megabouwwerk?
Uit elkaar gevallen planeet of buitenaards megabouwwerk?
Een vreemd hemellichaam dat zich op een niet eerder vertoonde manier gedraagt, biedt nieuwe perspectieven voor astronomen.
Op deze illustratie is te zien hoe de ster van Boyajian er mogelijk uitziet. De ster vertoont onverklaarbare wisselingen in helderheid. Een van de hypothesen, die hier wordt geïllustreerd, is dat afgebroken stukken van een planeet het licht van de ster blokkeren.

Zowel amateur- als professionele astronomen breken zich het hoofd over de vraag waarom het hemellichaam dat bekendstaat als KIC 8462852, of de ster van Boyajian, zich zo vreemd gedraagt.
KIC 8462852 wordt ook wel ‘Tabby’s ster’ genoemd, met een verwijzing naar de astronoom Tabetha Boyajian, die de ster ‘ontdekte’ in de gegevens van de Kepler-ruimtetelescoop. Het hemellichaam, dat in 2015 voor het eerst werd gezien, is sinds vrijdagochtend 22 procent in lichtsterkte afgenomen. Dit soort plotseling gedrag is nog nooit eerder bij sterren waargenomen.
Wetenschappers hebben nu de mogelijkheid om het uitdoven van de ster te observeren en fotograferen. Astronomen hopen dat dit ook licht zal werpen op de mysterieuze verschijning van het object.
Op deze illustratie staan kometen afgebeeld die voor de ster van Boyajian langs passeren. Dit is een andere mogelijke theorie voor het flikkerende licht van de ster.

De ster vertoont vreemd gedrag. Hij lijkt te doven en daarna weer net zo helder te gaan schijnen als daarvoor, waardoor hij lijkt te flikkeren.
Er doen allerlei theorieën de ronde over wat er aan de hand kan zijn. Een van de meest gangbare is dat er kometen voor de ster langs passeren, of dat een naburige planeet in stukken is gebroken, waardoor het zicht vanaf de aarde wordt geblokkeerd door brokken planeetmateriaal.
Enkele wetenschappers stellen dat het zwakker wordende licht wordt veroorzaakt door een ‘buitenaards megabouwwerk’ dat rond de ster van Boyajian draait en er energie van opneemt.
Maar wat het object ook is, de huidige observaties van het doven kunnen helpen het bijzondere gedrag te verklaren.
