UFOs and aliens discussed on 60 Minutes with real estate and space entrepreneur

Posted by: Alejandro Rojas 

Although the space programs of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos garner much of the news regarding the privatization of space, Las Vegas real estate mogul Robert Bigelow is another important eccentric billionaire who has entered the scene. He has gotten a moderate amount of publicity throughout the years, in comparison to his colleagues, but an interesting fact about Bigelow the others do not have is that he is also a UFO enthusiast. Bigelow has never shied away of questions regarding his paranormal interests, and he was not shy about answering 60 Minutes’ Lara Logan’s questions on UFOs in an interview last Sunday.

The 60 Minutes interview was focused on Bigelow’s efforts in the space industry, but UFOs came up, and Bigelow was not fazed. The short UFO segment went like this…

Logan: “Do you believe in aliens?”

Bigelow: “I’m absolutely convinced. That’s all there is to it.”

Logan: “Do you also believe that UFOs have come to Earth?”

Bigelow: “There has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence. And I spent millions and millions and millions ― I probably spent more as an individual than anybody else in the United States has ever spent on this subject.”

Logan: “Is it risky for you to say in public that you believe in UFOs and aliens?”

Bigelow: “I don’t give a damn. I don’t care.”

Logan: “You don’t worry that some people will say, ‘Did you hear that guy, he sounds like he’s crazy’?”

Bigelow: “I don’t care. It’s not gonna make a difference. It’s not gonna change reality of what I know.”

Bigelow’s interests in space travel and UFOs seem to go hand in hand. This is something I can relate to, because I feel my dreams of traveling in space have spurred my interest in UFOs as well. In an interview in Bloomberg in 2013, Bigelow says it was in 1999 that he decided it was time to act on his interests in space.

“I had some money to work with, and I felt that the clock had already ticked along quite a ways, and if I were gonna do something, I’d better fish or cut bait,” Bigelow told Bloomberg.

During his research for the best approach to get involved, Bigelow discovered a NASA program called TransHab that was on the verge of losing funding. TransHab was an inflatable base for Mars that would serve as a habitat for astronauts.

A NASA administrator tried to save the TransHab project by shopping it around to private corporations. Bigelow attended these meetings. “I had no employees at that time. I was just there as me,” he told Bloomberg.

None of the corporations showed interest, but Bigelow loved the concept. That is when he formed Bigelow Aerospace, bought 50 acres of land in an industrial park in Las Vegas and hired some engineers. Now, 18 years later, Bigelow Aerospace has an inflatable habitat attached to the International Space Station.

It is an exciting story, made even more exciting, at least for me, given Bigelow’s history in the study of anomalous phenomenon, including UFOs. By the time he had started Bigelow Aerospace, Bigelow had already had years of UFO and paranormal studies under his belt.

Bigelow says the impetus for his fascination with UFOs was a sighting his grandparents had. Bloomberg wrote…

One night in May 1947, his maternal grandparents were driving down the remote Kyle Canyon highway, returning to Las Vegas after a trip to the mountains, when they saw in the sky ahead something they thought was an airplane on fire. But as it drew closer, they realized it was a huge and unidentifiable oval object, glowing bright red; when the terrified couple pulled over to the side of the road, it bore down on them, finally filling their field of vision, before at the last second executing an abrupt 90-degree turn and disappearing. Bigelow heard about the incident years later, from his grandmother; his grandfather never liked to talk about what he’d seen. “He was still bothered by it,” he says, “because they both thought they were going to die that night.

Although Bigelow had an interest in space and the paranormal, the paranormal is where Bigelow applied his vast resources first. In 1995, he founded the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS). Similar to how he started Bigelow Aerospace, Bigelow first enlisted a group of scientists, including former astronaut Edgar Mitchell, to help him take a serious look into anomalous phenomenon. His board consisted mostly of PhDs.

NIDS wrote articles and reports on more than just UFOs. Crop circles and mysterious animal mutilations were a couple of examples of other phenomenon they looked into. All of their reports were posted on their website.

One of the most famous investigations conducted by NIDS was of a mysterious ranch in Utah dubbed the “Skinwalker Ranch.” NIDS lead scientist Colm Kelleher and Las Vegas investigative reporter George Knapp wrote the book Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah covering the many extraordinary experiences residents and scientists had on the ranch.

Retired Army Intelligence Colonel and defense consultant Dr. John Alexander, a NIDS team member, can be seen in the video below discussing their findings on the ranch.

NIDS closed in 2004. However, that was not the end of Bigelow’s dabbling in UFO research. He quietly moved this work over to Bigelow Aerospace. He established Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS). BAASS made connections with the FAA, who claims to not be interested in taking UFO reports, so pilots could send their reports to BAASS.

BAASS also attempted to partner with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the largest civilian UFO investigation group and other organizations. I say attempted, because the relationship was short lived.

You would think that UFO researchers would be excited for someone with Bigelow’s resources to invest in UFO research. However, UFOs can be a funny business, full of paranoia and jealousy. As much as serious researchers did appreciate his efforts, others accused Bigelow of stealing and hiding information.

Jesse Ventura’s TV show Conspiracy Theory did an episode trying to expose Bigelow’s alleged UFO cover-ups. I got a call from one of their producers who wanted me on the show. She said she wanted to talk about how Bigelow had secret satellites that were watching people and other silly stories. I told her none of it was true, but that I would be more than happy to talk about his real history in UFO research.  Needless to say, I was not included in the show.

One of the conspiracy theories with the most legs is the one about Bigelow trying to steal MUFON data. I have a unique insight into the attempted partnership between MUFON and BAASS, because I was a functional director with MUFON at the time and their official spokesperson.

Put simply, the deal was that BAASS would fund a special investigation group that could be deployed quickly and BAASS would also fund any analysis that would need to be conducted. MUFON was also tasked with supplying sighting information to BAASS. However, and this was clear between all parties, MUFON was in control of the information and investigations.

Although BAASS got information early, they were not given any information that was not also shared with the public. In fact, I had access to that information, and some of those cases and their results are featured on OpenMinds.tv and in Open Minds Magazine. One example is a case in New York in which a vehicle exhibited electromagnetic effects after an incident allegedly involving a UFO.

There were a few areas where things went awry. One issue, which I had expressed concern early on, was due to all of the MUFON directors needing to sign non-disclosure agreements. I advised that we make it public we were signing the disclosure before we did so, but the board did not agree. So I decided not to sign the disclosure. I did not want to be held responsible if some information leaked, and, since I was the spokesperson, I also did not want to have to walk on eggshells when speaking publicly. However, the only information I was not privy to were names.

Scientists and other professionals often do not want to use their names in relation to UFO investigations so as not to risk damaging their reputations. I have to use anonymous sources in stories on OpenMind.tv for that reason at times.

Another issue was MUFON’s slow response times. BAASS often wanted MUFON to deploy investigators more quickly. However, being volunteers, MUFON investigators had to get time off work and deal with other logistics that delayed investigations. In one case, because MUFON investigators were delayed, BAASS was given permission to send people first. This incident started rumors that, like the men in black, BAASS personnel were secretly shaking down UFO witnesses before MUFON could get there. I investigated this thoroughly, and can confidently say this was not the case.

These problems, along with internal disputes, tanked the project.

Either way, having been on the inside, I can say all parties involved attempted to work together in a spirit of furthering UFO research. Personally, I greatly appreciate the work Bigelow has sponsored.

I also appreciate Bigelow’s courage when addressing the UFO issue in his interviews with major media outlets. He does not do UFO interviews often. He has a great relationship with Knapp, whom occasionally hosts the late night radio program Coast to Coast AM. With Knapp as the host, Bigelow has appeared on the program to talk UFOs.

In an interview on Coast to Coast AM in 2013, Knapp asked Bigelow how he felt the topic of UFOs could be taken more seriously. Bigelow replied that he had little faith in the government being the first to speak to the topic. Instead, he identified two other areas where the phenomenon will likely be further exposed.  First, the phenomenon exposes itself, and second is that the media could cover the topic more.

“My hats off to the phenomenon for having had so much interaction with pilots and planes, but we still cannot have definability, or get this into the media as an establish fact,” Bigelow explained. “That is amazing. The phenomena itself can do this.”

Obviously, we do not have control to motivate any possible anomalous phenomenon to present itself more publicly. However, we do have access to the media. Bigelow is optimistic about media coverage of UFOs.

Bigelow told Knapp, “Ever since we announced about our craft that will be attached to the space station, every media person who has interviewed me has also asked about UFOs. They are not just trying to character assassinate me, but they are genuinely interested and want to know. That is a good thing and that is why we are seeing a change here.”

Case in point, in the 60 Minutes interview, Bigelow was not ridiculed for his beliefs. Many UFO researchers have been expressing in social media that they feel Bigelow’s comments on 60 Minutes will go a long way in helping the public take the topic seriously.

Only time will tell if his 60 Minutes appearance will make a difference, but one thing the interview does reinforce is the fact that Bigelow’s interest in UFOs has not diminished over the years.  It seems the media’s interest in Bigelow is also not going anywhere, which means we are sure to hear a lot more about Bigelow and his space and UFO research efforts.

Is ‘Absolutely Convinced’ They Already Live On Earth

KURT RUSSELL BEREIDT MENSHEID VOOR OP DISCLOSURE OF BUITENAARDSE INVASIE ( VIDEO )

Het interview dat acteur Kurt Russel onlangs had met het Britse BBC over zijn UFO waarneming is als een lopend vuurtje de wereld rond gegaan. 

Plots komen Hollywood sterren met dit soort mededelingen naar buiten en nu opeens houdt een zender als de BBC zich met UFO’s bezig. 

Misschien wel één van de meest spectaculaire UFO waarnemingen ooit vond plaats op 13 maart 1997 en staat bekend als de Phoenix Lights waarneming. 

Tienduizenden mensen waren die dag getuige van vreemde lichten in de lucht en nu, 20 jaar na deze gebeurtenis, is er officieel nog steeds geen antwoord over wat er die dag precies te zien was. 

Sommige mensen zagen een aantal lichten op een rij en weer anderen zagen lichten in de vorm van een V. 

Wanneer je een dergelijk iets waar neemt, zul je dit niet snel vergeten. Het was groots en indrukwekkend. 

Natuurlijk zijn alle belachelijke theorieën zoals ballonnen en vuurpijlen de revue gepasseerd en nooit is er ergens een bevredigend antwoord gekomen over wat daar werkelijk vloog. 

Hoe indrukwekkend het was in 1997 is te zien op de volgende beelden. 

 

En dan, opeens, komt er na 20 jaar een getuige in de vorm van acteur Kurt Russell. Dit is wat hij onlangs vertelde in een televisie uitzending van de BBC.

 

Wanneer je het verhaal van Kurt Russell zo hoort, dan zit er een element in van: Ja, maar dat kan niet. 

Hij komt als piloot aan bij het vliegveld in Phoenix en ziet vanuit de cockpit samen met Oliver, zoon samen met zijn vrouw Goldie Hawn, dit spectaculaire schouwspel. 

Ze melden het aan de verkeersleiding die zeggen dat ze niets zien, ze landen en vergeten vervolgens dit hele verhaal. 

Wanneer je iets dergelijks ziet vanuit de cockpit, dan geloof je je ogen niet en ga je vragen aan de bemanning van andere vliegtuigen die aangekomen zijn of vertrokken of ze ook iets hebben gezien. 

Niets van dat alles en het is pas twee jaar later, wanneer zijn vrouw Goldie Hawn toevallig een programma over UFO’s kijkt waar wordt gesproken over de Phoenix Lights, dat hij zich "herinnert" dat hij die piloot was. 

Je zou verwachten dat wanneer iemand na zo’n ervaring is geland, men op zoek gaat naar de ervaringen van andere bemanningen die op dezelfde dag daar zijn aangekomen of vertrokken om te vragen of zij misschien ook iets hadden gezien. 

Je zou verwachten dat ze zouden worden ondervraagd door de autoriteiten na een dergelijke melding. Wanneer een vliegtuigbemanning iets uitzonderlijks meldt, wat dan ook, dan zal een luchtvaartinstantie zoals in Amerika de Federal Avation Authority daar het fijne van willen weten. 

Het was in die dagen dat dit gebeurde overal in het nieuws en ook al was je het “even vergeten”, door alle berichten zou je toch weer snel worden herinnerd aan dit indrukwekkende schouwspel.

Kurt heeft een vrouw die klaarblijkelijk in het fenomeen UFO geïnteresseerd is en twee jaar later een programma erover bekeek. Wanneer je dan terugkomt van een vlucht waarbij je met eigen ogen één van de meest spectaculaire UFO waarnemingen ooit hebt gezien, is het dan aannemelijk dat je je vrouwe helemaal niets verteld hebt omdat je het glad bent vergeten?

En wat te denken van zoon Oliver die klaarblijkelijk ook helemaal niets aan zijn moeder heeft verteld. 

Waar het meer op lijkt, is dat Kurt Russell van stal is gehaald om een rol te spelen in het gewenningsproces met betrekking tot buitenaards leven en UFO’s. De man is piloot, dus het hele verhaal is aannemelijk en er is geen hond meer, buiten de officiële instanties, die nog weet welke anonieme piloot op die dag in 1997 die melding heeft gedaan. 

Ook als hij het wel was, dan hebben ze hem toentertijd op zijn hart gedrukt zijn mond te houden, omdat hij anders nooit meer een rol zou krijgen en hebben ze nu besloten dat hij mag meewerken aan de conditionering van het grote publiek. 

De Engelse kranten brengen nu bijna dagelijks berichten over UFO’s en aanverwante zaken en dit interview was met Kurt Russell in samenwerking met  BBC, een zender die zich altijd verre hield van dit soort dingen. 

Grote sterren praten nu op zenders zoals de BCC open en bloot over dat ze UFO’s hebben gezien en het afgelopen jaar worden talloze nieuwe planeten ontdekt. 

Kortom, we komen aanzienlijk dichterbij datgene wat ze met ons van plan zijn. 

Disclosure of nep buitenaardse invasie? 

Mochten er mensen zijn die aangaande bovenstaande een uitgesproken mening hebben, dan horen we dat graag.

HOE KAN DE ZEESPIEGEL VOOR ONZE NEDERLANDSE KUST ZOMAAR TWEE METER STIJGEN ( VIDEO )

Het was even nieuws in Nederland, maar ook alweer net zo snel vergeten te midden van al het andere belangrijke nieuws zoals het beslag op het huis van Patricia Paay door de belastingdienst. 

Ondertussen hebben we hier te maken met een verontrustend fenomeen dat zich nog nooit eerder op deze manier heeft voorgedaan aan onze Noordzeekust. 

Het begint steeds meer mensen op te vallen dat het weer bij ons ook aan het veranderen is. 

Afgelopen week trok er in de ochtend een buienfront over de westelijke helft van het land en bij die passage viel iets waar te nemen dat je bij ons normaal gesproken nooit ziet. 

Een heuse mini tsunami in de vorm van een vloedgolf aan de Nederlandse kust. 

 

Er wordt nogal luchtig gereageerd op dit soort dingen in Nederland. Alsof het iets is waar we dagelijks mee te maken hebben. De weerman weet er dan een leuk praatje van te maken en laat de kijkers zien hoe er van het ene op het andere moment een enorm luchtdrukverschil ontstaat. 

Op de weer website is het volgende te lezen:

Maar wat die zee betreft. Daar ontstond eigenlijk het meest opmerkelijk verschijnsel. De eerste meldingen van een plotselinge vloedgolf aan de kust van Zuid Holland kwamen om kwart voor 6 binnen. Sterker nog, in Rockanje werd schade gemeld. Allerlei voorwerpen tot en met een soort van houten gebouwtje werden door het snel opkomende water verplaatst. Er zijn zelfs volstrekt unieke beelden van gemaakt met de beveiligingscamera van Beachclub Havana. Daarop is te zien dat het waterpeil met tenminste 2 meter stijgt! Korte tijd later passeert de vloedgolf ondermeer Katwijk en IJmuiden. 

Het schijnt dat dit verschijnsel zich niet eerder heeft voorgedaan aan de Noordzeekust, alleen langs de oever van het IJsselmeer, een aantal jaren geleden. 

En dat is nu het hele punt: We maken keer op keer wereldwijd unieke weersituaties mee die nog niet eerder zijn voorgekomen. 

Wie had er ooit gedacht dat zomaar op een doordeweekse ochtend het waterpeil voor de Nederlandse kust met twee meter zou kunnen stijgen? 

Niet alleen in Nederland zien we natuurlijk vreemde en totaal ongewone weersverschijnselen. 

Hagelbuien met stenen die enorme schade kunnen veroorzaken en die je beter niet op je hoofd kunt krijgen, komen overal voor, zoals ook afgelopen week in Mexico. 

 

Of, laten we gewoon zomaar een dag nemen en even kijken wat er zoal wereldwijd gebeurt, een dag zoals 31 mei 2017. 

 

Steeds meer mensen wereldwijd die opmerken dat de positie van de aarde ten opzichte van de zon is veranderd en de zon niet meer ondergaat waar die dat vroeger deed, maar veel meer noordelijker op het noordelijk halfrond.

En alles en iedereen gaat gewoon door met de dagelijkse dingen en slikt de geruststellende woorden van de pratende hoofden op televisie. 

Ondertussen worden door mensen steeds meer bizarre dingen gefilmd waaruit blijkt dat de grenzen met andere dimensies vervagen, er steeds vreemdere objecten gefilmd en wordt het inmiddels beruchte Nibiru mini zonnestelsel gefilmd vanuit een vliegtuig, zoals te zien in onderstaande video.

Een zonnestelsel dat geen lens flare is omdat de planeten worden gereflecteerd op de vleugels. 

En het is dat mini zonnestelsel dat zorgt voor een twee meter stijging van onze zeespiegel op een doorsnee doordeweekse ochtend en wat ons nog veel meer ellende gaat brengen. 

Wat er ook gebeurt de komende roerige tijden, het is belangrijk dat je je kracht en immuunsysteem op peil houdt en daarom bij deze nog eens de aanbieding van Orjana voor Nibiru lezers die nog geldig is tot en met zondag aanstaande: 

En om daar een handje bij te helpen heeft Orjana deze week voor Niburu lezers een aantrekkelijke korting van 15 procent op haar 30 ml rauwe en hele plant CBD olie. Een aanbieding die geldig is tot en met aanstaande zondag 4 juni. Voer bij het afrekenen de code CBD1530 in.

NASA geeft uitleg over haar spectaculaire nieuwe missie naar de zon - HLN.be

Bron: Eigen berichtgeving

© NASA.

De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft een persconferentie gegeven om een indrukwekkende nieuwe missie voor te stellen. In de zomer van volgend jaar wil ze een sonde naar onze zon sturen. Het doel is om voor de allereerste keer "de zon aan te raken".

Eugene Parker. © rv.

In oktober 1958 werd voor het eerst het idee geopperd om een sonde naar de zon te sturen. En nu is het eindelijk zo ver. De Parker Solar Probe - genoemd naar de ontdekker van zonnestormen - zal in de atmosfeer van de zon binnendringen en de oppervlakte van de zon naderen tot op amper 6,4 miljoen kilometer. Daarbij zal de sonde lange tijd ongeziene straling en temperaturen van 1.400 graden te verduren krijgen, iets wat nog geen enkel ruimtetuig ooit eerder heeft doorstaan.

© NASA.

Het toestel zal de buitenste atmosfeer van de zon bestuderen en antwoorden bieden op enkele eeuwenoude vragen over hoe een ster precies werkt. Met die data hoopt de NASA onder meer betere voorspellingen te kunnen maken over zonnestormen, die een impact hebben op het leven op aarde, het werk van astronauten in de ruimte en satellieten, die door zware zonnestormen ontregeld kunnen raken.

"Het wordt de heetste missie die we ooit deden", volgens wetenschapster Nicola Fox. "Het hitteschild is het pronkstuk van de sonde. We doen 24 omwentelingen rond de zon, dus het moet niet alleen de hittte, maar ook de afwisseling van hitte en koude aankunnen. De instrumenten van de sonde werken op kamertemperatuur, dus het hitteschild moet wel wat aankunnen."

Foto's
De binnenkant van de sonde - die 1.34 miljard euro kost - zal ook een speciaal systeem van watercirculatie gebruiken om de instrumenten te beschermen, die onder meer de elektrische en magnetische velden van de zon moeten bestuderen, foto's van de zon moet nemen en zonnepartikels moet vangen.

Putin May Become the First Leader to Acknowledge ETs and UFOs

 Paul Seaburn

While whatever it is that’s going on between Washington and Moscow is shrouded in secrecy and intrigue, one man is openly proclaiming to the world that he is in talks with Russian officials that may eventually lead to Russian President Vladimir Putin becoming the first head of state to publicly acknowledge the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrials. Wait, what?

The man is Stephen Bassett, the executive director of the Paridigm Research Group International (PRG) and the first ET and UFO disclosure lobbyist in the U.S. In his mission to end alleged governmental suppression of the truth about alien contact, Bassett revealed this week that he spent the week of May 3 to May 10 in Moscow meeting with former Soviet and Russian military and agency officials who are now involved in that country’s own disclosure movement.

Part of the meeting was an interview of Bassett for a documentary. The PRG website details what was discussed:

During the interview, which will be broadcast in Russian in August, Bassett discussed various considerations that might prompt Russian President Vladimir Putin to make the first formal acknowledgment by a head of state regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race. PRG believes this may be the first time anyone has made this argument on Russian media inside or outside Russia.

Bassett and PRG worked during the recent presidential election with candidate Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager, John Podesta, to open U.S. government UFO files — an action which both promised to pursue. With Clinton’s loss, has Bassett given up on the current administration and decided to devote his attention to Vladimir Putin?

While humans have continued to destroy each other and the biosphere in which they live, there is a galaxy full of life waiting to be engaged. The extraterrestrial reality transcends politics, religion, race, and war. The embargo on this truth has accomplished nothing but delay the advancement of human civilization. Any number of heads of state could end this embargo at any time, and it can’t come soon enough.

Stephen Bassett

That’s not the kind of statement that would endear Bassett to the current U.S. administration, especially his reference to humans destroying the biosphere. Does he really think that former KGB agent Vladimir Putin will switch from stealing secrets to revealing them?

What the keepers of the truth embargo either fail or refuse to realize is a post-disclosure world could be the bridge between the US, China and Russia that would permit the necessary geopolitical realignments setting a new course away from the seemingly permanent war economies wasting vital resources and keeping the world always on the brink.

It sounds more like Bassett is slyly starting a competition between the leaders of the U.S., Russia and China in an attempt to goad one to be the first.

Which one seems to be the most responsive to competition and goading? Will we have to wait until August to find out?

NASA is Releasing Colorful Artificial Clouds in the Atmosphere

 Brett Tingley

On June 1st, NASA will conduct tests which will see them creating artificial clouds in the sky off the Eastern U.S. seaboard. To conduct the tests, NASA will launch sounding rockets from the Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia’s eastern shore. Compared to their larger space-faring counterparts, sounding rockets are smaller, lower-powered rockets designed for sub-orbital flights and used most often in scientific experiments.

A NASA scientist inspecting the cloud-creating rocket.

The NASA sounding rocket in this test will deploy ten pressurized gas canisters which will explode in the atmosphere, releasing the luminous blue and red clouds. The bright colors will allow scientists on the ground to better track and analyze the clouds as they form and disperse across the sky.

Residents of some coastal areas will witness red and blue-green clouds in the early morning of June 1st.

NASA’s official explanation for the clouds is that they are merely part of a test of new ionospheric monitoring techniques and technology:

The canisters will deploy between 4 and 5.5 minutes after launch blue-green and red vapor forming artificial clouds. These clouds, or vapor tracers, allow scientists on the ground to visually track particle motions in space. The vapor tracers are formed through the interaction of barium, strontium and cupric-oxide. The tracers will be released at altitudes 96 to 124 miles high and pose absolutely no hazard to residents along the mid-Atlantic coast.

Barium, strontium and cupric-oxide, eh? Sounds delicious, how do I breathe it in? Naturally, some sources have jumped at the chance to declare this as proof of climate manipulation or the ol’ chemtrails and the like. NASA, however, assures that the chemical-laced clouds pose no risk and that they’ve been conducting similar tests for decades. Most likely, it’s just a simple science experiment; after all, it’s pretty out in the open and you can even live-stream the launch on the mission website.

The best viewing areas are close to Delaware and Virginia.

With HAARP reportedly recently resuming experiments, though, you never can tell what’s really going on up above our heads. It’s probably fine, though. Keep watching the new season of House of Cards. Nothing to see here.

NEW ALIEN HUNTING TELESCOPE HAS ALREADY FOUND 3 RARE MYSTERY SIGNALS

The radio telescope array, the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder, was turned on just four days ago and already it has made huge leaps forward as it had found its first fast radio burst.

The radio signals are a space mystery that is unsolved, they last only milliseconds and very rarely do they repeat, which makes them extremely difficult to locate or predict. That is until the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder, or ASKAP for short began to scan the skies. Up to now on, 23 have been located and many of them had been previously identified in data that had been recorded.  

THREE FRBS LOCATED USING JUST 8 OF 36 DISHES

The ASKAP has found not just one fast radio burst, it has located three and only eight out of the thirty-six dishes had been used. Keith Bannister from the CSIRO, leader of the research, said that with the ASKAP it is possible to find an FRB every couple of days. He went on to say that the number would increase fast now that they have got the technology working.

• NASA To Launch 'Alien Hunting' Webb Space Telescope In Late 2018

Bannister went on to say that the key to the discovery was the new radio telescope technology used, which has the name of phased array feed. He said that with many of the telescopes they only look at a single area of sky at any one time. The phased array feed, however, has cameras that are made up of 188 receivers and this means that the researchers are able to look at a region of sky that is 240 square degrees by pointing the dishes in different directions. The researchers hail from the Curtin University along with the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research.

SQUARE KILOMETER ARRAY COMING IN 2020 MADE OF THOUSANDS OF DISHES

Thanks to the wide field of view the ASKAP and the Square Kilometer Array, which is said to be revealed in 2020 and which is made up of thousands of dishes, it has an edge on the detection of FRBs.

HUGE APPLICATIONS FOR NEW TELESCOPE

The new telescope has huge applications from astronomers from all over the globe. The first of which are the statistics of the population of the FRB, the ratio of the signals that are bright to the ones that are faint. It will be able to help to show if the FRBs are close by or whether they have been affected by the universe`s age. Another factor is that the team is going to add in an extra mode to try to help to pinpoint with far more accuracy just where the FRBs come from, which may help to explain why they occur.

NO THEORIES BEHIND WHAT HAS BEEN OBSERVED

Bannister said that at the moment there is no theory that has been able to explain what they have observed. He went to say that in order to make a fast radio burst and make it visible, it has to be extremely bright as it has come from a long way away. With arriving from so far away the biggest question is how something can make something as bright so that it can be seen from such a distance.

Bannister does have some ideas; he said that there are some things that do generate emissions that are similar, pulsars and magnetars, for example. However, these cannot be detected in other galaxies. But they have detected FBRs and he said that they thought they did come from other galaxies. This leads the researchers to think that it was not due to magnetars or pulsars that are normally seen and if it is not these then what could it be.

The first FRB that was found had the name of FRB170107 and it has been published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. The other two have not yet been published, but they along with others are coming said, Bannister. He said that this is just the star for the ASKAP and it should give a lot more during the next 12 months.

ROSWELL DEPUTY SHERIFF: 'I SAW A MASSIVE FLYING SAUCER AND FOUR DEAD ALIENS'!

The incredible rising number of UFO sightings over the years is something to talk about, as it may be the time for humanity to finally meet extraterrestrial visitors. 

But let's go back some decades and look into one of the most notorious events in UFO history, the 'Roswell incident'.

In 1947 a "flying saucer" crashed in Roswell, and the military raided the area to begin it's cover up. It made into newspapers front page, later to be changed into something else as part of this cover up. There have been clues about the incident here and there, but nothing absolutely "tangible".

One testimony about an alleged Roswell UFO crash site has been brought up by a man who claims to have seen a massive Flying Saucer crashed in a canyon. The flying saucer was already circled by the military of an unknown branch. Along with the UFO, there were humanoid corpses being carried away. He even describes the appearance of the extraterrestrial beings.

Researchers Are Investigating A New UFO Sighting As They Prepare For The 70th Anniversary Of Roswell UFO Crashed

Roswell is famously known as the alien mecca not only in the U.S. but the world. In 1947, an alleged crash of a flying saucer took place in this remote U.S. town. To mark the 70th anniversary of the mysterious event, a new UFO sighting is being investigated. The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), regarded as the biggest organisation committed to alien and UFO research, is looking into a report from a mother involving a strange sighting in the New Mexico town.

The unnamed mother said in a report to MUFON that she was driving with her son at around 9 pm when out of the corner of her eye, she saw a stationary, white and red light that was too big to be a star. She did not pay attention to the odd aerial sight right away.

She saw it on the horizon and could see it through her windshield. A few seconds later, she noticed another light on the left to the first. It was the time she looked directly at them.

The first light then disappeared after a few more seconds, but a third light then appeared on the left of the second. Then the lights vanished after about five seconds more, but made an appearance again in a different location and repeated the sequence.

The woman tried to rationalise the lights, but the lights did not appear like any aircraft. She even thought they could be fireworks, but she did not hear any sound and see any trail or explosion.

The mother decided to pull over on the side of the road and remained there for around five minutes, hoping to see those lights again. She wanted to record them and show someone what she had seen, but unfortunately, they did not reappear when they were parked there.

The unusual event took place on April 13.

MUFON researchers are investigating the case.

Roswell has been considered as the capital city of UFO since July 1947. The military announced in one press release that it had recovered the debris of a crashed flying saucer in the desert nearby. However, they retracted the statement the following day, saying the flying saucer was just a damaged Air Force balloon.

Witnesses later surfaced and claimed that there had been extra-terrestrial bodies within the crashed UFO. The claim further stated that the dead alien bodies were taken to the mysterious, top-secret Area 51 military facility in Nevada, along with the wreckage of the flying saucer.

The Roswell UFO Incident has gone on to become the largest UFO conspiracy theory until today.

There are around 50 alleged UFO sightings related to Roswell in the MUFON database.

Bigelow Aerospace, time to put up or shut up about UFOs

Robert Bigelow is obsessed with space. In the ‘90s, the wealthy real estate developer even launched a research institute called the National Institute for Discovery Science to study paranormal phenomenon and fringe sciences like ufology. Bigelow is convinced that aliens exist, and are even here among us.

“You don’t have to go anywhere, it’s right under people’s noses,” he cryptically tells 60 Minutes in a segment that aired Sunday.

These days it seems Bigelow’s final frontier obsession has shifted from discovering aliens here on Earth to getting humans out into space. The Nevada tycoon’s space company, Bigelow Aerospace, has partnered with NASA to develop expandable spacecraft. The lightweight structure is a reboot of an old NASA technology that was abandoned in the early 2000s due to a lack of funding. As opposed to space stations, expandable spacecraft can inflate in orbit, allowing humans new environments in which to live and work in zero gravity.

60 Minutes caught up with Bigelow last year at NASA mission control in Houston to watch the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or BEAM, expand in space for the first time. After investing 300 million dollars and sixteen years of work, this was the moment of truth.

It took two tries over two days, but in the end, the mission was successful and the inflatable room is now being used and studied by astronauts living at the International Space Station.

BEAM is really just the tip of the iceberg for Bigelow Aerospace, who envision inflatable technology as a major player in the future of space activity. At their headquarters in Las Vegas, Bigelow gave 60 Minutes a tour of the Olympus, what he calls a “mansion for the skies.”

Housed in an 80-foot-tall warehouse, the structure is so large that a rocket powerful enough to launch it into space doesn’t even exist yet. But the idea is there, and Bigelow says the technology can be used for anything a client desires — an orbiting hotel, a hospital, or an inflatable research facility, for example.

He also showed 60 Minutes the B330, a smaller structure that Bigelow says could function as a space station. “It can function as a standalone destination because it has all the facilities that it would take to keep people alive,” he says.

Bigelow intends to market the B330 to countries looking to get into space with an affordable model.

Much like Richard Branson or Elon Musk, Bigelow believes that the future of space exploration is in the hands of private industry. “NASA and government still has a role because it is still in a sort of embryonic stage. And there will come a time when it’s not necessary at all. And the commercial world will absolutely be the leader for everything in space,” he says.
