The Most Interesting Science News Articles of the Week
The Most Interesting Science News Articles of the Week
By Live Science Staff
Each week we uncover the most interesting and informative articles from around the world, here are 10 of the coolest stories in science this week.
Sea pickle invasion

The waters off the Oregon coast are mysteriously awash with strange, jelly-like creatures that look like translucent slugs, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Each pickle-like creature is, in fact, a colony made up of individual zooids that join to create a hollow, tube-like structure that has one closed end and one open end. (A zooid is a small, multicellular organism that makes up part of a colonial animal, and can arise from another zooid by budding or dividing.) [Read more about the alien invaders.]
Strange deaths

Orca whales have claimed the life of another great white shark by eating its liver and leaving it for dead, making it the fourth such gristly death in less than two months.
No one saw the sharks' last moments, but their injuries indicate that orcas, also known as killer whales (Orcinus orca), were the culprits, the researchers said. [Read more about the dead sharks.]
Lab-grown parts

Dr. Frankenstein, eat your heart out: Scientists have grown the pebbly green skin of sea turtles in the lab for the first time ever.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature and the U.S. Endangered Species Act list green sea turtles as threatened or endangered throughout their ranges worldwide. [Read more about turtle skin.]
Dangers of fireworks
The image on the left shows the man's left eye shortly after the explosion. The yellowish spots are fragments from the firecracker embedded in his cornea. The image on the right is a CT scan of the man's head. The arrows point to firecracker fragments, which appear as bright white spots, embedded in both eyes.
With July Fourth just around the corner, it's important to keep an eye out for eye dangers: A man in India suffered severe eye injuries after a firecracker exploded close to his face, according to a new case report.
The doctors were able to remove the firework fragments from the man's left eye, though Dr. Jagat Ram, a professor of ophthalmology at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in India who treated the man, said removing all of the fragments took several sessions. [Read more about firecracker injuries.]
Coffee with a side of what?
How do you take your iced coffee? For some people in the United Kingdom, an investigative report from the BBC has sparked concerns that the drink may come with an unwanted add-in: a dash of fecal bacteria.
The sample size was very small, and all three coffee chains told the BBC that they are looking into the problem. [Read more about the caffeinated scare.]
Carved skulls
Researchers have discovered seven skull fragments from three different skulls, each marked with deep cuts like this one made shortly after death.

Fragments of three carved human skulls have been uncovered at a mysterious ritual site in Turkey.
Now, Göbekli Tepe has become a little bit more fantastic with the discovery of skull fragments carved with long, deliberate lines from the forehead to the back of the head. These discoveries reveal the existence of a "skull cult" in ancient eastern Anatolia, Gresky told Live Science. The ritual markings on these skulls are unlike those seen in any other civilization, though. [Read more about the ritual skulls.]
Weird creature

An odd extinct mammal that lived in South America during the last ice age had a long neck like a llama's, three-toed feet like a rhino's and what may have been a tapir-like trunk. This peculiar combination of traits fueled a mystery lasting nearly two centuries about how to classify the bizarre beast.
Macrauchenia fossils are fairly plentiful, but paleontologists nonetheless struggled to understand the creature because its combination of features was so unusual, said study co-author Ross MacPhee, curator in the mammalogy department at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. [Read more about the ancient mystery.]
Marriage and animals
That "squeee!" you feel when you look at pictures of cute puppies or bunnies might be good for your love life. A new study finds that looking at baby-animal photos may increase couples' levels of satisfaction with their relationships.
In the study, the researchers looked at 144 married couples who had been married for less than five years. The participants' average age was 28. Around 40 percent of the couples had kids, the researchers said. [Read more about animals and matrimony.]
New liquid water
Liquid water exists in two different forms, new research reveals. Here, an illustration of the water molecule in front of an X-ray pattern from high-density amorphous ice, created by creating high pressures and low temperatures.

Liquid water comes in two forms — low density and high density, scientists have found.
Water is essential for life (at least on Earth). And wherever liquid water exists — whether it's in icebound lakes or scalding hydrothermal vents — tiny microbes have been found. That is why scientists have been excited by the possibility of salty water flows and other evidence of ancient water on Mars — it means there may well have been life early on in the Red Planet's history. [Read more about the strange liquid.]
How eclipses work
The Hinode spacecraft captured this stunning image of the maximum solar eclipse on May 20, 2012, which darkened the sky in parts of the Western United States and Southeast Asia, according to NASA.

If the sun were just a little bit bigger or the moon a bit farther away, total solar eclipses may never occur. But they do, and it turns out this celestial phenomenon that has changed human history, and our perspective of the universe, may be a sheer coincidence.
Such a nearly perfect match wasn’t always the case, however. Because the distance between the moon and the Earth is slowly changing, solar eclipses looked very different millions of years ago — and they will again, tens of millions of years in the future. [Read more about solar eclipses.]

It's a Phantom
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has selected Boeing to build the U.S. military's new XS-1 space plane. The plane, called the Phantom Express, is designed to launch to the edge of space to deploy a second stage rocket, which would deposit a satellite in orbit. [Full Story: US Military's XS-1 Space Plane Will Be Built by Boeing (Video)]
In recent weeks, the release of a trove of once-classified British UFO documents has managed to arouse controversy, both for the information contained therein, as well as the fact that the documents have had a somewhat limited readership: following their release by the Ministry of Defense, the files were not disclosed in an easily-searchable digital format, evoking cries of suppression, and even conspiracy from eager potential readers worldwide.
Fortunately, news agencies in the UK have been following up, with featured articles appearing every few days that detail elements contained within the files, often dealing with hair-raising encounters kept quiet by the MOD for decades.
One of the most recent reports to come to light deals with an unusual, Cold-War era incident that occurred in October 1982. It involved an American RC-135 spy plane that, while monitoring Soviet military operations, came under some kind of surveillance by a large, unidentified and brightly-lit aircraft.
The USAF base detailed in the report was located at RAF Troodos on Cyprus, and discussed an incident involving an unidentified aircraft which lasted close to 90 minutes.
According to the report, two US Navy F-14 fighters were involved, as well as an RAF Phantom, which had been diverted to join the F-14s in pursuit of the aircraft over Cyprus. The object was observed by the pilots of the American crew streaking away toward the African coast; the intercepting pilots did not report seeing the object.
According to the Sun, “Radar film, tapes and transcripts of the distress call were also analysed by intelligence officers – but removed from the files.”
Reports of similar encounters between military aircraft and unidentified objects are rife throughout UFO literature, having been disclosed in government documents by a number of countries around the world. The UK has a long history of similar incidents, which include an event that occurred in 1956 at Lakenheath-Bentwaters (not to be confused with the later RAF Bentwaters incident, otherwise known as the “Rendlesham Forest Incident”).
Apart from the reports themselves, we are left with considerations about what, precisely, these kinds of incidents represent. Within the broader UFO narrative, a number of hypotheses emerge, which range from skeptical interpretations of the incidents as being pure misidentification of prosaic phenomena, to secret military operations and, yes, the long-held idea of alien visitors.
Different theories, ranging from the thought-provoking, to the downright absurd, have emerged over the years pertaining to UFO sightings. A listing of these might include the following; note that these are arranged in no particular order, and taking into full account that some are highly improbable, while some are, at very least, far less likely than others:
Extraterrestrial visitors
Unexplained Natural Phenomena
Secret technologies developed by the U.S. or other world superpowers
A so-called “Breakaway Civilization”
Time travelers from the future
“Cryptoterrestrial” hidden denizens of Earth
Interdimensional visitors
Psycho-social phenomenon and misperception/misidentification
Evidence of a hologram-like “Matrix” reality, in which UFOs are the operators
A form of artificial intelligence of unknown origin
An open-minded collection of ideas such as this takes into account a number of very creative concepts, borrowed largely from science fiction. Though in truth, this has been the case since the inception of the modern UFO phenomenon beginning shortly after WWII, where such ideas began to be appended to the subject in an effort to try and account for the seemingly unexplainable.
In other words, the fact that no simple explanation exists for the “how, why and what” associated with these alleged aircraft has inspired a lot of imaginative thinking over the years, which, of course, isn’t to say that something like “extraterrestrial visitors” can be ruled out entirely. Rather, it is to drive home the point that in the absence of a clear explanation for UFOs, a division of thought has seemingly occurred, where one end of the broader spectrum favors the otherworldly, while the other proposes that simple things have been blown out of proportion, and that no such “phenomenon” exists at all.
These two “primary arguments” will inevitably continue to be appended to the UFO situation, especially with the release of new material like the MOD’s current batch of files. However, if there is truly anything we can glean from new data like this (even if it is decades old by the time we see it), perhaps it is that between the two extremes, there is something which might logically account for why government agencies have had such a long history of encounters with phenomena they can’t explain… and which, at times, has warranted military responses, like with the 1982 Cyprus incident.
A multitude of reports like these, often involving what are described as being clearly tangible objects, and seemingly of technological origin, do remain unexplained. Beyond any filtration through overt belief or skepticism (which often requires a certain level of illogic in order to bend the phenomena to fit the parameters of the interpreter), we are left with a plethoraof data that does suggest that something unusual is occurring… whatever that is. Logically, this would appear to stand, even if only a handful of these reports remain viable after cold, hard, skeptical analysis.
So what is our “estimate of the situation”? As with virtually all rational attempts to draw conclusions about the UFO phenomenon, we are left with too many holes in the data to know anything for certain, apart from the fact that something exists, which is seemingly technological, and which cannot be accounted for based solely on knowledge of technologies and aircraft on the civilian level. In our opinion, evoking the paranormal in order to account for these objects requires a logical leap, whereas overconfidence in the skeptical dismissal of every UFO incident, despite the data, represents equally illogical behavior.
Somewhere in between these two “universes of belief”, a more likely, and logical, solution may exist; these aircraft are obviously capable of operating in Earth’s atmosphere, and are seemingly highly-adaptable to earthly circumstances. In equal measure, these objects appear to display an interest in earthly happenings, often interacting with military aircraft; this would seem to suggest that the technologies in question are being operated with an interest in things of a political nature, rather than the pursuit of scientific knowledge, etc. Perhaps this is a significant clue to the ultimate nature of the more tangible UFO incidents that have turned up over the years.
At the end of the day, the same old conundrums keep turning up: we need more physical evidence to back up the claims of tangible objects. Conversely, if these things are “ours”, then whoever is in-the-know isn’t talking… and the likelihood that those with a “need to know” would (or could) keep so quiet, and for so long, seems almost as unlikely as space aliens, dimensional visitors, or time travelers.
If there is something tangible at work here, then there must be some kind of solution too, right? In the long run, solving the UFO mystery may require some creative thinking, paired with a willingness to keep our ideas in check, and not get ahead of ourselves with our theories.
SPECTACULAIRE UFO-SHOW MET MOEDRSCHIP BOVEN OOSTENRIJK? ( VIDEO )
SPECTACULAIRE UFO-SHOW MET MOEDRSCHIP BOVEN OOSTENRIJK? ( VIDEO )
In deze tijd van duizenden nepvideo’s, geproduceerd door mediabedrijven vanwege de reclame-inkomsten, is het een verademing om zo af en toe een echte opname te zien.
En als er dan ook nog door twee verschillende mensen een prachtige UFO-show boven Oostenrijk wordt gefilmd, compleet met vreemde wolk, dan is dat iets bijzonders.
Het probleem is dat niemand meer op kijkt van spectaculaire UFO waarnemingen omdat Youtube volstaat met de meest interessante waarnemingen en objecten.
Helaas is 99,9 procent daarvan totale nep en is het gewoon een media industrie geworden, wat er ook de reden van is dat een UFO specialist Scott Waring met zijn website is gestopt.
Het gros van de bevolking ziet nauwelijks dat het nep is en daardoor slippen de echte opnames vaak door het net omdat ze niet genoeg opvallen.
Maar, er zijn nog plekken waar wel echte dingen voor komen en daar vind je dan ook af en toe juweeltjes zoals de volgende.
In de Oostenrijkse deelstaat Stiermarken ligt de hoofdstad Graz en vanaf die locatie komen twee heel bijzondere opnames.
De eerste zegt dat deze is gemaakt in Stiermarken, maar noemt niet specifiek de stad Graz.
De video is gemaakt door een jongeman die samen met een vriend of kennis door het raam naar buiten kijkt en een paar hele bijzondere lichten ziet.
Het begint met twee keer twee lichten en daar komt vervolgens nog een derde bij. Dan op een gegeven moment verdwijnen de lichten om even later weer terug te komen en je hoort de verbaasde commentaren van de mannen in de achtergrond.
De tweede opname dateert van dezelfde tijd zo te zien en deze zegt specifiek te zijn opgenomen in Graz. Beiden opnames lijken ’s morgens heel vroeg gemaakt te zijn, rond het moment dat de zon op komt.
In die tweede video zien we een prachtig landschap met daarin weer de bekende wolken die er eigenlijk niet in thuis horen.
Rondom die wolken dartelen enkele UFO’s.
Wanneer de camera wat verder inzoomt, dan zien we dezelfde UFO’s als in de eerste video.
Op een gegeven moment verandert de vreemde wolk/moederschip wel wat van vorm, maar de UFO’s blijven in de buurt van die wolk.
Dan plotsklaps, alsof iemand een knop omdraait, verdwijnen ze.
Twee verschillende mensen op ongeveer dezelfde locatie, zo te zien op een hele vroege ochtend, filmen identieke UFO’s.
Beide opnames zijn mooi en helder en uit de commentaren is op te maken dat ze echt zijn en de mensen verrast door wat ze zien.
In het tweede geval zie je zelfs de basis/moederschip/wolk waar ze thuishoren, waardoor deze waarneming in Oostenrijk als heel bijzonder kan worden bestempeld.
Nasa said it was responsible for the even which was labelled “an early Independence Day fireworks display”.
But UFO conspiracy theorists say this was a so-called "false flag"to test people's reactions to paranormal events such as an alien attack.
The Project Blue Beam conspiracy theory claims through Nasa the US Government will one day use hologram technology to create a false paranormal event such as UFO invasion or even a second coming, in order to introduce new controls upon us all.
While the Daily Star reports ufologists believe the space agency may have sent UFOs into the sky in order to prepare people on Earth from an impending invasion of extra-terrestrial life.

The amazing blue light display (left) and NASA's launch (right).
In truth, after multiple failed attempts, NASA's Malemute sounding rocket lit up the sky with blue, green and red artificial clouds on Thursday.
The light show was seen by witnesses across the US from North Carolina to New York.
In tweets with photos of the rocket launch, the space agency called it “an early Independence Day fireworks display”.
The rocket launch – from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, US – reached an altitude of 118 miles and lasted eight minutes.
Four minutes in, it deployed 10 canisters about the size of soft drink cans, each containing a coloured vapour that forms artificial, luminescent clouds.
The Wallops facility, and local police stations, reportedly received 2,000 UFO reports and photographs from stunned onlookers, terrified about what exactly the unidentified lights were.
This looked like an alien invasion and it would appear they’re testing these different technologies that could potentially be used in order to get people frightened and flood the 911 centres with calls about these strange lights moving through the sky.
Tyler Glockner
Tyler Glockner, who runs controversial UFO YouTube channel SecureTeam 10 said in a video: “This looked like an alien invasion and it would appear they’re testing these different technologies that could potentially be used in order to get people frightened and flood the 911 centres with calls about these strange lights moving through the sky.
“They run their test, they got their reaction and they have the perfect cover story.
“Is this a test of Project Blue Beam?
“Do you guys think that a lot of the UFO sightings we see are not from off planet but are in fact from our own government?”
“Are they nothing but holographic simulations in order to condition us for the big alien invasion?”
Project Bluebeam has largely been debunked as a fictitious theory first presented in 1994 by Quebecois journalist and conspiracy theorist Serge Monast, in the book Project Blue Beam.
Many viewers were unconvinced by Secureteam 10's shock claims.
One viewer said: “The fear mongering in your videos is not necessary to gain a following, you being one pioneer of ufology you should be pursuing a change in how the public view aliens,”
Mr Glockner appears on a number of UFO blacklists created by more sceptical investigators, due to claims he uses false footage and misrepresentation in his videos.
Mr Glockner denies misleading people and claims to be a genuine investigator.

NASA TO LAUNCH PLANETARY DEFENSE MISSION
NASA TO LAUNCH PLANETARY DEFENSE MISSION
NASA is going to launch a mission for the first time that uses a deflection technique against asteroids for defending the planet.
NASA LAUNCHING DART MISSION TO DEFLECT ASTEROID
The mission is known as DART, Double Asteroid Redirection Test and it will be able to show how any deadly impact due to an asteroid could be averted if one was to be heading towards Earth. It would be able to strike the asteroid with force enough that it would force it to move trajectory away from the Earth, this is a method that is called kinetic impactor technique.
The mission is at the moment in the preliminary design phase, but the goal of it is to strike Didymos B, which is the smallest of the two binary asteroids that are said to be approaching Earth in 2022 and will make their way around again in 2024. The program scientist, Tom Statler, said that a binary asteroid would be the perfect natural laboratory of a test.
DART WILL HIT DIDYMOS B NINE TIMES THE SPEED OF A BULLET
DART is about the size of a regular fridge, and it has an autonomous targeting system onboard that it will aim at Didymos B and will then proceed to hit it at around nine times faster than a bullet from a gun would hit it. Andy Cheng from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel Maryland in the USA said that the mission is a very critical step in showing how Earth can be protected from a possible impact by an asteroid.
He went on to say that as no one knows very much about the internal composition or internal structure of asteroids, the mission is needed as an experiment on an asteroid that is real. He said that thanks to DART, NASA will be able to show just how Earth can be protected in the event of an asteroid strike with a kinetic impactor as it can knock any objects that are hazardous hard enough to send them onto a different flight path, one that would not be any threat to Earth.
On the website of NASA, it was said that the DART mission is now moving away from the concept development and going into the preliminary design phase after getting approval from NASA on 23 June. NASA said that the target for DART is Didymos B, which is about 530 feet in size; the system has been under the close scrutiny of NASA since 2003.
TWO UFOS FILMED BY TWO DIFFERENT WITNESSES IN GRAZ, AUSTRIA, JUNE 30,2017
TWO UFOS FILMED BY TWO DIFFERENT WITNESSES IN GRAZ, AUSTRIA, JUNE 30,2017
In this truly rare footage you see two objects flying in what appears to be an 2×2 formation before just vanishing into thin air but what is unique about this footage is that two different people from different parts of the city filmed the same objects. This is what makes this sighting all the more interesting and credible.
Alien chasers hope the annual event will pressure world leaders to release top secret flying saucer files, and even admit that a massive cover up over alien life has been going on for years.
UFO-ers have been keeping their eyes firmly on the skies to celebrate the global fascination with the flying saucer.
The event is now in its 17th year.
According to the World UFO Day website, it is dedicated to "raising awareness about the undoubted existence of UFO’s and with that intelligent beings from outer space."
The website is also part of a campaign to get international governments to "declassify" their so-called confidential "X-Files" on UFO sightings throughout their history.
And, it is convinced something might be about to happen.
An article to coincide with this year's event said: "We at World UFO Day feel something is in the air.
"Since December 21st, a lot of interesting turns have been made by the UFO community.
GETTY
World UFO Day campaigners believe Donald Trump may be the key to truth about aliens.
"The image of UFO believers has made a shift. People around us are opening up to a truth that has been there all along.
“Is it time for the truth about UFOs to come out in 2017?"
The website believes President Donald Trump could be the key.
It added: "When Trump first became President there were many hopeful signs that his push for more transparent and accountable government would translate into greater openness where the truth would finally come out about UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
"Whistleblowers were ready to come forward to testify about a host of illegal government activities if they were given protection to reveal their secrets.
"This culminated in the belief that disclosure of extraterrestrial life was imminent early in the Obama administration.
"Four years later, those early hopes look positively naïve.
"Government transparency did not open up national security archives to researchers, and whistleblower protection did not happen after all.
"The Trump administration went on the record to disavow any interest in investigating claims that the Roswell crash really involved otherworldly UFOs.
"There was no disclosure of extraterrestrial life visiting our world.
"But what has changed, four years after Obama’s first Presidential election, is that the world is better prepared for accepting that extraterrestrial life exists?"
The website said a recent survey found 80 million Americans, 36 percent of the US population, believe UFOs are real.
One in 10 respondents even said they had witnessed an alien spaceship.
A separate Express.co.uk survey found that 36 percent of people asked who is most likely to reveal the existence of aliens thought it would now be Donald Trump.
A whopping 37,800 people responded to our online survey, with 13,608 saying they felt Mr Trump could be the disclosure president.
There were 9,450 who thought it would instead be Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the same figure said "no one, because aliens do not exist."
There were 4,536 people who felt a retired Barack Obama would do it and just 378 people thought it would be Theresa May and the same amount felt German chancellor Angela Merkel might come through.

Clear Alien UFO Photo From NASA Mars Rover
Clear Alien UFO Photo From NASA Mars Rover
The internet went into a frenzy with the crystal clear photograph allegedly showing an alien spaceship. The Mars Rover of NASA has photographed what looks like a UFO on the Red Planet’s surface. The rocky landscape of Mars can be seen in the high-definition image along with ripples etched by the wind on the surface.
The interesting part for UFO enthusiasts is the mysterious object in the middle of the picture that looks entirely different. It seems to have a smooth, metallic exterior with visible lights. It looks like a spaceship as people often describe. Moreover, it appears that natural forces have nothing to do with it.
Some UFO enthusiasts have jumped to the conclusion that the image is an undeniable evidence of intelligent alien life. NASA is yet to give a word on the discovery. Extraterrestrial life is possible on Mars as the space agency announced in 2015 that it had found running water on the planet. Hacking group Anonymous made the story more interesting as it said that NASA is about to reveal that it has discovered ETs.
Alien enthusiasts regularly post photos and videos online with claims that they show alien craft. Most of these images are grainy and not very convincing.
The Rover is equipped with powerful lenses, making the images it captured very clear. Conspiracy theorists often accused NASA of covering up extraterrestrial existence. They sometimes post images of so-called alien artefacts from the Moon or Martian surface. Most images involve an oddly shaped rock, but this particular new image is tough to explain.
The exploits of a being named as Valiant Thor has been recently uncovered in top secret documents. Valiant Thor claimed that he was from a portal world in Venus. He further stated that he helped the US Armed Forces throughout the Cold War in procuring advanced extraterrestrial technology in Area 51. Thor appeared to have made frequent appearances in many American military bases and was called as The Stranger at the Pentagon.
According to conspiracy theorists, he seemed to be a Nordic alien in a Caucasian human figure. He reportedly looked like an ordinary person, but both of his hands have six fingers. Thor claimed he scored 1200 when measuring his intelligence using the old Stanford-Binet scale. His internal organs were allegedly different from humans. He was reportedly 500 years old when he left the Earth.
Several reports noted the friendship between Valiant Thor and Former American President Dwight Eisenhower. They apparently discussed matters in technology and geopolitics frequently. He allegedly left the Earth in 1959 and refused to take part in any human activities since then.
Thor’s actions and exploits are featured in a book Stranger at the Pentagon, by Dr Frank E Stranges, published in 1967 (Amazon link).
RAF Pilots Ignore UFO Over Skegness, British X-File Reveals
RAF Pilots Ignore UFO Over Skegness, British X-File Reveals
A set of files called the Britain’s X-Files had been revealed to the public this week. One incident in 1996 has caught the attention among conspiracy theorists where RAF was told to ignore a UFO sighting on radar.
Several civilians spotted bright lights on the morning of October 5, 1996. Radar signal was also detected, but no response from the RAF.
An unnamed government official wrote to the Ministry }Defence about the no response from the RAF, which was supposed to be keeping a watchful eye on such incident. The RAF appeared to have no idea about the UFO sighting on radar.
The government official asked the Ministry of Defence about the standard procedure for these incidents. It is noted that the object was on their radar for around seven hours, so the RAF had supposedly enough time to think about it.
However, the case may not be that exciting, according to the UFO Investigations Manual author Nigel Watson. The information is not new, according to Watson, as the case became opened to the public in a batch of MOD files released back in 2010.
In the RAF report about the event, the radar signals were produced by 273 feet tall St Botolph Church. Aviation circles called the church spire as the Boston Stump, which occasionally appears on some radars.
The report further explains that the lights in The Wash area were observed from three separate locations above the horizon and in the same general direction, but with no corroborating radar data. Civil or military radars did not detect associated air vehicle, thus, suggests a distant celestial source. Royal Greenwich Observatory identified these celestial sources as Venus or could be the stars, Sirius and Vega.
NASA’S STUNNING BREAKTHROUGH: Its First Warp Drive…Is a TRUE Mindblower!
NASA’S STUNNING BREAKTHROUGH: Its First Warp Drive…Is a TRUE Mindblower!
A few months ago, physicist Harold White shocked the aeronautics industry when he announced that his team at NASA was in the process of developing a faster-than-light warp drive. His design could one day transport a spacecraft to the nearest star in a matter of weeks.
The idea originally came to White while he was considering an equation formulated by physicist Miguel Alcubierre in his 1994 paper titled, “The Warp Drive: Hyper-Fast Travel Within General Relativity. Alcubierre suggested a mechanism by which space-time could be “warped” and behind a spacecraft.
Michio Kaku dubbed Alcubierre’s theory a “passport to the universe,” which harnesses a quirk in the “cosmological code” that allows for the expansion and contraction of space-time. If proven true, it could allow for hyper-fast travel between interstellar destinations. In order to accomplish this, the starship would need able to expand the space behind it rapidly to push it forward. For passengers, it would look like a lack of acceleration.
White believes a drive like that could result in “speeds” that could take us to Alpha Centauri in just a matter of weeks, even though the system is only 4.3 light-years away. Essentially, a bubble would be created that moves space-time around the object, repositioning it.
“Remember, nothing locally exceeds the speed of light, but space can expand and contract at any speed,” White told reporters at io9. “However, space-time is really stiff to create the expansion and contraction effect in a useful manner in order for us to reach interstellar destinations in reasonable time periods would require a lot of energy.”
However,” White added, “based on the analysis I did in the last 18 months, there may be hope.” “My early results suggested I had discovered something that was in the math all along,” he recalled. “I suddenly realized that if you made the thickness of the negative vacuum energy ring larger — like shifting from a belt shape to a donut shape — and oscillate the warp bubble, you can greatly reduce the energy required — perhaps making the idea plausible.”
The next step for White will be a proof-of-concept. His team are in the lab and working on actual experiments to make that a reality.
Yesterday, a gentleman named Mauricio Morales posted some remarkable pictures on the internet that ended up going fairly viral across social media. They were snaps of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs, which does not mean they are extraterrestrial in origin).
That being said, don’t be fooled, there is a tremendous amount of evidence pointing toward the fact that some of these UFOs, whose presence were officially acknowledged within the mainstream using declassified documents and hundreds of high ranking military/political whistleblowers, are indeed extraterrestrial in origin.
There is ample evidence suggesting that many are ‘ours’ as well.
We’ve written about this quite extensively, and if you want to learn more about that and sift through all of the evidence we’ve accumulated over the past 8 years, please visit the exopolitics section of our website here. Another great place to start is with UFO researcher Richard Dolan.
Here’s Morales’ statement on what he experienced from his Facebook post:
“As I was driving back to Phoenix this evening, I was a few miles past Parker, AZ when I saw a shooting star with a green hue in the corner of my eye. I kept driving for a few miles and noticed a small orange light far in the distance to my right. At first I thought that maybe a meteor had hit nearby and set a fire in the desert or possibly a distant antenna light.
I didn’t quite think much of it and continued to drive for another three miles. I noticed that the light was gone. I drove another half of a mile and I saw the light appear again. This is when I realized that whatever this was, wasn’t normal.
I was about a quarter of a mile from the crossing between Highway 72 and Highway 95 between Parker and Quartzsite, Arizona.
I immediately pulled over and attached my camera to my tripod. To my SW direction, there were six orange-red lights floating around in the horizon. Some of them would dim out and then brighten back up, others just seemed to float and hover away slowly. They seemed to travel in a parallel pattern with a very bright fiery glisten. I took photos and videos and in less than 15 minutes, the mysterious objects vanished without a trace.
All of the photographs are timestamped and are not edited whatsoever. The video is slightly cropped for better viewing.
Whatever this was, I have never seen anything like this in my life before. Super cool experience.
*UPDATE* 4/11/17 11:22pm I have noticed that my cameras clock is set 8 minutes ahead. Which means that the time stamps are all 8 minutes ahead. I also saw a video of the same exact thing but from the opposite end in El Centro, CA. That means that whatever this was, it was visible for at least 100 miles.
ABC15 is reporting that the photos were part of the meteor. They were not. The meteor struck about 10 minutes before I pulled over on HWY 95 and got footage of these lights. The difference in lighting you see in the photos is because I was using different settings to get a more visible photo of what they were.”
Below are a few pictures, but you can view the video Timelapse on his Facebook page.
SOME RECENT VIDEO FOOTAGE
Below is some footage from Dr. Steven Greer, founder of The Disclosure Project and the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI). Known to some as the “Father of the Disclosure Movement,” he was instrumental in bringing forth hundreds of military whistleblowers of all ranks, with verified backgrounds, to share their experiences and testify on the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon.
He has had high-level meetings within the Pentagon about this issue, and that was confirmed (in his documentary Sirius Disclosure) by Apollo 14 astronaut and the 6th man to walk on the Moon, Dr. Edgar Mitchell.
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. . . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time. . . . I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.”

UFO sightings astride the Atlantic
UFO sightings astride the Atlantic
People recently reported UFO sightings in Arizona and United Kingdom, creating a flurry of excitement online. Have extraterrestrial neighbors decided to make contact? Investigation suggest that the Arizona sightings were of mercury vapor lights and not alien visitors. However, recent sightings above England are not so easily explained away. RT America's Brigida Santos has the story.

DID ALIEN BEINGS GENETICALLY ENGINEER HUMAN MANKIND?
DID ALIEN BEINGS GENETICALLY ENGINEER HUMAN MANKIND?
Could blood types prove that human beings are genetically engineered?
Throughout the years, several scientific studies have searched for this answer.
Many people are unconvinced that evolution alone was capable of taking humanity from its original brute aim form into the only animals on the planet Earth capable of language, writing, and civilization itself. Instead, they look towards the ancient scriptures and the stories from societies from all corners for the world that tell of mysterious visitors, fallen angels, gods or the Anunnaki. While these tales may vary slightly from one another, they all tell the same broad tale. God-like creatures once came from the heavens and brought human beings the tools to create vast and sophisticated civilizations. Versions of these tales can even be found in the Christian Bible in reference to the fallen angels in Genesis, chapter 6.
The mysteries posed by ancient scripture seem to be supported by the architectural evidence which has been believed to give modern humans their greatest clues about the ancient societies that came before them. For years, archaeologists, historians and engineers alike have been baffled by the supremely intelligent technology apparently available to humanity’s ancient ancestors to build the extraordinary megaliths in regions such as Egypt, Peru, and Mexico. But perhaps an even bigger clue lies in the genetic structure of human beings themselves.
The story of the Anunnaki describes how this powerful alien race created the first humans to work as drone workers in the colonized gold mines of planet Earth. The most compelling evidence to support this theory is the existence of the blood type group Rh Negative.
Human beings fall into four blood types; A, B, AB and O. This classification is determined by the make-up of the person’s immune system, specifically, the proteins present on the surface of the cells which amass to fight bacteria, viruses and other foreign bodies in the human body. The vast majority of human beings exhibit these proteins, but some do not. The people who fall into negative blood groups are perfectly healthy individuals who experience no significant difference in medical outcomes to other people. To this day, scientists have failed to adequately explain why this is the case or indeed, why this discrepancy even exists. Could it be that this is evidence of a holdover from our genetically engineered past?
Britain just released its UFO dossier, a total of 15 files that contain details of some of the most mysterious and sometimes terrifying encounters with RAF personnel that remain unsolved to this day. The newly released “Britain X-Files” includes what is dubbed as the most famous UFO sightings in the UK, the Rendlesham Forest incident which involved a triangular craft observed near two Royal Air Force bases. More interestingly for American UFO enthusiasts, some of the incidents covered by the dossier also reveal the involvement of U.S. military personnel.
Fifteen files from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) dubbed as the “Britain X- Files” by the media have just been made available to the public, according to The Sun. The files, which contain details of various UFO incidents, may be accessed at the reading room of the National Archives located in Kew, West London.
Unfortunately, the files are not yet available in a digitized format and, therefore, can’t be downloaded for viewing at home. This means that UFO enthusiasts who wish to view the documents will have to contend with long queues to gain access.
In addition to the 15, three more files are yet to be released. Nick Pope, who headed MOD’s UFO project from 1991 to 1994, reveals that the additional files could be made public later this year. He also heralded the release of the UFO files as a sign of government transparency.

“This is a good day for open government and for freedom of information.”
U.S. Military Involvement
What is interesting is that a number of the UFO incidents described in the British documents involve U.S. military personnel. For instance, a 1982 incident involved a U.S. Air Force spy plane on a Cold War-era mission to observe Soviet military movements.
The crew of the American spy plane, the USAF RC-135, radioed for help when several UFOs appeared. The call was picked up by RAF stationed at the Troodos base in Cyprus. The U.S. responded by sending in two F-14 fighter planes from the Navy while the RAF diverted a Phantom from a training exercise. The UFOs, which were described as “a multitude of flashing lights, 20 at a time,” left for the African coast as the fighter planes approached.
Meanwhile, an American was likewise involved in Britain’s most famous UFO case. The Rendlesham Forest incident, also dubbed as Britain’s Roswell, happened in December 1980. For several nights, RAF personnel noticed strange light coming from the Rendlesham Forest and dispatched some personnel to investigate it.
One person named Jim Penniston even got close enough to touch the triangular craft. Meanwhile, John Burroughs, Penniston’s companion in the investigation, drew some sketches on what they saw. A couple of nights later, a team, which included Deputy Base Commander Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt, also encountered the UFO. He later stated that the first-hand experience is something that he just can’t debunk.
“Here I am, a senior official who routinely denies this sort of thing and diligently works to debunk them, and I’m involved in the middle of something I can’t explain.”
Will the U.S. Follow Britain’s Lead?
Of course, all eyes are now on the U.S. government if they will follow Britain’s example and release their own top-secret investigations. UFO enthusiasts were briefly thrilled when then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton promised to make public the UFO files as much as possible.
Interestingly, John Burroughs, one of the U.S. personnel involved in the Rendlesham Forest case, had successfully claimed compensation for the injuries he sustained in that incident. This prompted his lawyer Pat Frascogna to comment that the U.S. government might have already indirectly acknowledged the existence of UFOs.
“In citing the [MoD radiation documents] and in granting John Burroughs full disability for his injuries in Rendlesham Forest, the U.S. Government has by de facto acknowledged the existence of unidentified aerial phenomena which, in John Burroughs’ case, resulted in physical injury.”

However, it appears that making the UFO files public is not one of the Trump administration’s priorities at the moment. It remains to be seen whether the government will give in to mounting pressure for disclosure. That or the arrival of an alien fleet for the whole world to see, making any government confirmation no longer necessary.

Quand la Nasa est obligée d'assurer qu'elle n'a pas envoyé des colonies d'enfants esclaves sur Mars
Quand la Nasa est obligée d'assurer qu'elle n'a pas envoyé des colonies d'enfants esclaves sur Mars
DESINTOXLa rumeur est partie d'un témoignage lors d'une émission de télévision américaine...
Curiosity semble être seul sur Mars. — NASA/ SIPA
Des colonies d’enfants envoyées sur la planète Mars: ce n’est pas le scénario du dernier film de Ridley Scott mais une rumeur qui s’est rapidement répandue sur Internet. A tel point que la Nasa a préféré la démentir illico.
Tout a commencé jeudi 29 juin à la télévision américaine. Le présentateur Alex Jones, réputé pour aimer les théories du complot, a invité Robert David Steele à s’exprimer dans son émission The Alex Jones Show ( en replay ici). L’homme a affirmé que des enfants étaient kidnappés puis envoyés sur Mars via un voyage de vingt ans. Une fois arrivés, ces « enfants » n’avaient d’autre choix que de devenir des esclaves dans les colonies martiennes.
Et ce n’est pas tout. Robert David Steele ajoute : « Ils les terrorisent pour enrichir leur sang en adrénaline, et les tuent. Ça inclut aussi de les tuer, comme ça, ils peuvent récupérer la moelle récoltée. »
La Nasa a immédiatement réagi dans le Daily Beast, par la voix de son porte-parole Guy Webster. « Il n’y a pas d’humain sur Mars. Il y a des robots actifs sur Mars. Une rumeur était en train de se propager la semaine dernière qu’il n’y en avait pas. Il y en a. Mais il n’y a pas d’humain. »
Sur Twitter, certains ont préféré le prendre avec humour. « Si la NASA a kidnappé des gosses pour les envoyer sur Mars, il est mathématiquement impossible qu’il y ait des "colonies d’enfants" là-bas. Selon votre copain, ils ont voyagé 20 ans pour arriver à destination. DONC CE SONT DES COLONIES D’ADULTES. »
Alex Jones se fait souvent l’écho de ce genre de rumeur : en 2016, lors de la campagne présidentielle, le présentateur-producteur a relayé sur ses chaînes la théorie selon laquelle des proches d’Hillary Clinton géraient un réseau pédophile dans la cave d’une pizzeria à Washington. Convaincu de la véracité de cette information, un homme s’était rendu dans ce restaurant et avait ouvert le feu, sans faire de victime.
Now UFO experts have made wild claims the unidentified light show could actually have been set up by NASA.
Ufologists believe the space agency may have sent UFOs into the sky in order to prepare people on Earth from an impending invasion of extra-terrestrial life.
After multiple failed attempts, NASA's Malemute sounding rocket lit up the sky with blue, green and red artificial clouds on Thursday (June 29).
The light show was seen by witnesses across the US from North Carolina to New York.
Tweeting photos of the rocket launch, the agency called it “an early Independence Day fireworks display”.
The rocket launch – from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, US – reached an altitude of 118 miles and lasted eight minutes.
Four minutes in, it deployed 10 canisters about the size of soft drink cans, each containing a coloured vapour that forms artificial, luminescent clouds.

CLAIMS: Alien experts claim NASA have been testing public reaction to an alien invasion
“This looked like an alien invasion and it would appear they’re testing technologies to get people frightened about these strange lights”
SecureTeam 10
But the Wallops facility, as well as local police stations, reportedly received 2,000 reports and photographs from stunned onlookers, terrified about what exactly the unidentified lights were.
Now conspiracy theorists claim it was all in preparation for an alien war.
“This looked like an alien invasion and it would appear they’re testing these different technologies that could potentially be used in order to get people frightened and flood the 911 centres with calls about these strange lights moving through the sky,” UFO expert SecureTeam 10 claimed in its latest YouTube video.
“They run their test, they got their reaction and they have the perfect cover story.
“Is this a test of Project Blue Beam?”
Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory that claims NASA is attempting to implement a New Age religion with the Antichrist at its head and start a New World Order, via a technologically-simulated “second coming”.
“Do you guys think that a lot of the UFO sightings we see are not from off planet but are in fact from our own government?” SecureTeam 10’s presenter Tyler asks viewers.
“Are they nothing but holographic simulations in order to condition us for the big alien invasion?”
YOUTUBE
INCREDIBLE: NASA posted photos online of the rocket launch
While some viewers were shocked by the claims, others seemed unconvinced.
“The fear mongering in your videos is not necessary to gain a following, you being one pioneer of ufology you should be pursuing a change in how the public view aliens,” one fan commented on the clip – which has been seen more than 140,000 times in less than 24 hours.
These strange lights were spotted on an October night in 2016 in the Phoenix sky. Some people believe them to be a UFO.

PHOENIX — On World UFO Day, we look back on the Phoenix Lights and other notable UFO sightings in the past couple of years in the Valley.
The Phoenix Lights, which celebrated their 20th anniversary earlier this year, is remembered for the bizarre lights described as “otherworldly” that was seen by thousands of people in Nevada, Arizona and even parts of Mexico.
The timeline of the phenomenon tracks over several events, including a sight in the sky described as a V-shaped object the size of a commercial plane soaring through the air and a series of stationary orange and red lights.
Late last year, there was another uproar for a UFO sighting when several Twitter users asked if anyone else had seen what they had.
At least one person caught the lights on video and posted it to Twitter(WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE).
There was also the incident at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport earlier in 2016 when an employee said a massive, chevron-shaped UFO flew over him.
Those sightings weren’t the first in Arizona and they won’t be the last.
Op Wereld Ufo Dag op 2 juli wordt het bestaan van Ongeïdentificeerde Vliegende Objecten of ufo's gevierd. De Wereld Ufo Dag Organisatie wil op deze dag de bewustwording over het bestaan van ufo's verhogen. Volgens haar bestaan ufo's ongetwijfeld. De organisatie moedigt regeringen op deze dag ook aan om hun kennis over ufo-waarnemingen bekend te maken.
Er worden tijdens Wereld Ufo Dag talrijke ufo-activiteiten georganiseerd. Zo kijken mensen op op die samen naar de hemel om ufo's te spotten. Er wordt ook gekeken naar films over ufo's zoals E.T. en Men in Black. Maar hoe zit dat nu eigenlijk met die ufo-meldingen?
Hoewel de meningen over het wel of niet bestaan van UFO’s verdeeld zijn, houdt het ‘unidentified flying object’ – zoals de Engelse benaming luidt – de gemoederen wel bezig. In de periode 1947 tot 1989 is een groot aantal UFO’s waargenomen. Niet zo lang geleden is er nog een UFO gesignaleerd boven het Engelse Bracknell. Een top 10 van de UFO waarnemingen die het meeste indruk hebben gemaakt:
1. Roswellincident - 1947 De bekendste ufo-melding gebeurde in juli 1947 in de Verenigde Staten in Roswell in de staat New Mexico. Op een boerderij dichtbij Roswell zou er een vliegende schotel, een ufo, neergestort zijn. Talrijke getuigen beweerden dat het om een buitenaards ruimtevaartuig met buitenaardse lijken ging. De gebeurtenis werd heel snel wereldnieuws.
Volgens de Amerikaanse luchtmacht ging het echter om een neergestorte weerballon. Later kwamen er evenwel nieuwe verklaringen van de luchtmacht. De nieuwe verklaringen en de gewijzigde uitleg van de overheid heeft de geruchten over een werkelijke neerstorting van een ufo alleen maar gevoed.
Tussen eind 1989 en begin 1991 waren er in België een reeks waarnemingen van driehoekige ufo's. Deze waarnemingen staan bekend als de Belgische ufo-golf. Op een bepaald moment werden onbekende voorwerpen waargenomen door naar schatting 13.500 mensen op de grond.
Mensen namen ook foto's van de vermeende buitenaardse ruimtevaartuigen. De bekendste foto werd genomen in de Luikse gemeente Petit-Rechain. De wereldberoemde foto van een driehoekige ufo met verlichte hoeken bleek in 2011 een vervalsing te zijn. De fotograaf gaf toe aan de Franstalige televisiezender RTL-TVI dat het in werkelijkheid een maquette in piepschuim was.
3. De waarneming in Westall - 1966
In april 1966 zagen ruim 200 studenten – en hun leraren – van twee scholen in het Australische Melbourne een vliegende schotel in de lucht. Tot hun verbazing daalde de UFO neer in een nabijgelegen stuk gras. Even later steeg het object weer op en verdween in het luchtruim. Ondanks het feit dat de UFO zich – volgens hun zeggen – even in hun midden bevond, is geen van de getuigen erin geslaagd om een foto of video van deze waarneming te maken. Het object was ongeveer 20 minuten in beeld. Je kunt je voorstellen dat het ontbreken van enig beeld van deze waarneming door sceptici werd gebruikt om te benadrukken dat UFO’s – als ook buitenaards leven – niet bestaan. Hiermee samenhangend is beweerd dat het zou gaan om een experiment van de Australische luchtmacht. Overigens heeft de luchtmacht zich hierover nooit uitgesproken. Met enige regelmaat komen de studenten en leraren samen om hun UFO waarneming te herdenken.
4. De Kenneth Arnold case - 1947
In 1947 werd voor de eerste keer de aanduiding ‘vliegende schotel’ gebruikt. Deze woorden kwamen overeen met de verklaring van de Amerikaanse piloot Kenneth Arnold. Tijdens een vlucht – op 24 juni 1947 – werd Arnold’s toestel ingehaald door negen UFO’s. Arnold schatte in dat de objecten zich voortbewogen met een snelheid van circa 2.000 kilometer per uur. De UFO’s vlogen over de Mount Rainier. Bijzonder aan zijn UFO waarneming is dat Kenneth Arnold alle mogelijke verklaringen – die hij hoog in de lucht heeft bedacht – tot in detail met het publiek heeft gedeeld. Toen hij de lichten voor de eerste keer zag, dacht hij dat zijn vliegtuig een ander vliegtuig te dicht was genaderd. De radar maakte duidelijk dat zich in de verste verte geen ander toestel bevond. Daarna checkte Arnold of het niet een reflectie betrof van de vleugels van zijn toestel. De volgende gedachte – die bij hem opkwam – was dat het om een zwerm ganzen moest gaan. Deze beesten konden onmogelijk zo snel vliegen! Toen wist Kenneth Arnold het zeker; hij had een aantal UFO’s waargenomen.
5.Ufo's in Bracknell - 2013
Ufo's in Bracknell
Sceptici vonden het een goede grap; hoog in de lucht boven een pub in het Engelse Bracknell zou een UFO hebben gevlogen! Toch is getuige Steve Lambert – die met zijn mobiele telefoon een foto heeft gemaakt – ervan overtuigd dat hij een UFO heeft gezien. Zittende op het terras van de pub viel zijn oog op een vliegtuig – voorzien van twee lichten – dat zich bovengemiddeld snel door het luchtruim bewoog. Jammer genoeg was Lambert de enige, die het verschijnsel heeft opgemerkt. Begin van 2013 heeft zich in deze stad een vergelijkbaar voorval voorgedaan; toen nam een man – die anoniem wenst te blijven – een oranje/rood gekleurd object waar, dat zich pijlsnel verplaatste door de lucht. Vormt Bracknell misschien een soort knooppunt op de UFO routekaart?
6. Ronald Reagan zag UFO’s – 1974
Net als een aantal van zijn voorgangers, heeft ook president Ronald Reagan verklaard UFO’s te hebben gezien. Twee keer zelfs! In die periode (1967-1975) was Reagan aangesteld als gouverneur in de staat California. Tijdens de landing van het toestel – waarin hij zat – merkte de gouverneur een vreemd licht achter het vliegtuig op. Het zou gaan om een helder wit licht. Reagan gaf opdracht om achter het licht aan te gaan. Zo vloog het toestel een aantal minuten achter het lichtverschijnsel aan. Plotseling boog het licht af; het verdween met grote snelheid in de hemel. Alle aanwezigen – waaronder de crew – waren getuige van dit opmerkelijke verschijnsel. Geen van allen heeft zich er formeel over uitgesproken; men wilde niet het risico lopen om te worden uitgemaakt voor een onbenul. In latere interviews is Reagan er nog wel eens om gevraagd. Toen heeft hij het verhaal verteld, zoals hierboven is omschreven.
7. Levelland incident - 1957
Ook het zogenaamde incident bij Levelland (1957) kenmerkte zich door relatief veel getuigen. Zo hebben 15 verschillende mensen melding gemaakt van een eivormig, lichtgevend, vliegend voorwerp in de lucht boven de stad Levelland. Deze waarnemingen zijn gedaan in tijdsbestek van drie uur. De optelsom van deze feiten – het aantal getuigen in combinatie met het korte tijdsbestek waarin de verschijnselen zijn waargenomen – maakte dat UFO-deskundigen op het puntje van hun stoel gingen zitten! De Amerikaanse luchtmacht heeft verklaard dat het zou gaan om een bol bliksem. Dit verschijnsel staat ook wel bekend als ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’. De verklaring is gebaseerd op het onderzoek van een naar Levelland afgevaardigde sergeant. Op de dag na de waarnemingen heeft hij diverse mensen – waaronder drie ooggetuigen – gesproken. Hun kleurwaarnemingen in combinatie met de grillige weersomstandigheden brachten hem ertoe om te concluderen dat het om een uitzonderlijke vorm van bliksem zou gaan.
8. De lichten boven Phoenix - 1997
Op 13 maart 1997 zagen honderden mensen in de Amerikaanse staat Arizona verschillende lichtflitsen. Ook in Sonora (Mexico) zijn deze lichten waargenomen. Meer gedetailleerde verklaringen maken duidelijk dat het zou gaan om een driehoekige formatie van lichten – een UFO – omgeven door een aantal stilstaande lichten. Deze lichtverschijnselen staan ook wel bekend als de ‘Phoenix Lights’. Gezien de omvang van het gebied – en de vele ooggetuigen – kun jij je wel voorstellen dat hier honderden foto’s en video’s van gemaakt zijn! Het kon niet uitblijven of een woordvoerder van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht bracht de volgende verklaring naar buiten: de stilstaande lichten waren afkomstig van de vuurpijlen van een A-10 Thunderbolt II. Deze verklaring komt niet overeen met de bevindingen van de ooggetuigen. Immers, zij hebben geluidloze objecten gezien die geen rookspoor achterlieten. Ook is er beweerd dat het zou gaan om de vlucht van een geheim toestel. Ook deze bewering wordt in twijfel getrokken; de luchtmacht zou nooit een dergelijk toestel boven een stad met de omvang van Arizona laten vliegen.
9. Ufo's in São Paulo - 1986
In 1986 nam men via de radar in de Braziliaanse staat Sao Paulo welgeteld 20 UFO’s waar. Vanaf vliegvelden verspreid over het hele land stuurde de ‘Brazilian Air Force’ er een aantal militaire toestellen – waaronder twee F-5E en drie Mirage jet gevechtstoestellen – op af. Op het moment dat deze toestellen naderden, verdwenen de UFO’s als sneeuw voor de zon! Hoewel er nooit een spoor van de UFO’s is teruggevonden, heeft de woordvoerder van het ministerie van Luchtvaart verklaard dat er wel degelijk objecten in het luchtruim boven Brazilië zijn waargenomen. De radarbeelden maken onmiskenbaar duidelijk dat er sprake geweest moet zijn van bewegende, solide, metalen constructies.
10. Teheran incident - 1976
In 1976 – om precies te zijn in de nacht van 18 op 19 september – vond er een opmerkelijk ‘UFO incident’ plaats hoog boven Teheran. Het gesignaleerde object bewoog zich door het verboden luchtruim. Om die reden is er een bijzonder gedetailleerd rapport opgesteld. Na een aantal telefonische meldingen verplaatste Hossain Perouzi – het hoofd van de nachtdienst – zich naar het terras van de controletoren. Met behulp van een verrekijker nam hij een cilindervormig object van ongeveer twee meter breed en zeven meter lang waar. De uiteinden van het object kleurden witblauw; rondom het middengedeelte van de UFO was een rood licht. Perouzi aarzelde geen moment en gaf zijn waarneming door aan de luchtmacht. De toenmalige bevelhebber stuurde twee F-4 Phantom straaljagers het luchtruim in.
