Extraordinary sight of 'alien UFO disappearing into portal seen across the globe'
Extraordinary sight of 'alien UFO disappearing into portal seen across the globe'
PEOPLE across the globe have reportedly witnessed and filmed what many claim to be a remarkable event.
Reports on social media, which have been picked up by mainstream news outlets across the world, claim a UFO has been filmed seemingly rising into a "portal" that then closes and vanishes.
The startling sights have happened in Russia, north American, and Mexico.
However, despite reports of the visions continuing as recently as yesterday, experts have now dismissed it as a viral hoax which has been viewed well over one million times.
One international news site ran the story yesterday.
YouTube
A still from the viral footage showing the "UFO entering the portal".
It suggested the incident may have been filmed above Yakutia, in Russia, entitled: "Bizarre diamond-shaped 'UFO' swallows another unidentified flying object in the night sky."
The article said: "The strange video, seeming to show a mysterious unidentified flying object full of lights in the night sky, has emerged in media circles in Yakutia, the largest region in Russia.
"There is no information about when and where it happened.
"Yakutia or the Sakha Republic is the largest region in Russia, and appropriately is famous for its diamonds.
The strange video, seeming to show a mysterious unidentified flying object full of lights in the night sky, has emerged in media circles in Yakutia, the largest region in Russia.
International newspaper website
"Police have not reported calls about strange objects in the sky."
The story was then covered in the UK press.
However, the new reports show how easily viral reports can travel online.
Express.co.uk reported back in June how debunking website Snopes.com had reached the conclusion a video showing the same footage, which was viewed by more than one million people, was likely a CGI-made fake.
The website examined a version of the same video doing the rounds on social media, which said the event had been filmed in southern Colorado.
Snopes.com found earlier versions of the video claimed the footage had been recorded in Mexico.
The site said: "However because the video shows something rather outlandish happening, one would expect it to have been covered by the local news media — and there are no reports in Colorado matching the description of such a sighting (although the southern Colorado region known as San Luis Valley is an apparent hotspot for UFO sightings."
Snopes added the video did not even originate from Colorado, and was first reported in March this year as being Sonora, a Mexican state on the US border.
UFOs coming out of cloud formations recorded over Lake Havasu, Arizona and Aylmer QC, Canada
UFOs coming out of cloud formations recorded over Lake Havasu, Arizona and Aylmer QC, Canada
The following two sightings show unknown objects coming out of strange cloud formations recorded over Lake Havasu, Arizona and Aylmer QC, Canada.
Case 1: UFOs caught on video from plane near Havasu City, Arizona.
Havasu City, Arizona - May 5, 2017: I fly weekly, so I've seen a lot in my years of travel. On this particular flight on the 5th, I suddenly caught a shining bright light from my corner vision.
It wasn't a reflective shine; it had a gold shine as video may indicate.
We had just passed Lake Havasu (I was tracking our flight).
The objects were moving in what seemed a northwesterly direction. See video below.
Case 2: Dark square changing into a bell like object hanging from a strange oval cloud over Aylmer QC, Canada.
On May 16, 2017 I was looking out my window at the river and dark clouds. All if a sudden one if the clouds hanging over the river between Ontario and Quebec seemed to have what appeared to be a darker square like cloud under it but seemed attached.
I took out my binoculars and sure enough it looked like a small dark square made of something solid bout cloud was over it.
I put down the camera for a minute and when I picked it back up the sun was shining on one side of the square and it reflected as if metal. It was definitely a cube then.
The sun went in and when I looked again the object seemed to have split and then later once again and wasn't as square ad before.
Actually after I took photos of it and enlarged the last picture, this going to sound odd but the shape reminded me the Nazi Die Glocke, the bell.
It was the same shape of that bell. All the time it hung there it didn't go anywhere, it just stayed over the river and seemed to change shape by absorbing another object or just shape shifting.
I don't know if it went back up into the dark cloud or disintegrate but my guess is the former.
I live in the capital too though so government experimental craft can't be excluded either. You can see the video, which I have submitted to Mufon, registered under case 84990, of the strange cloud/object here:
Thursday’s 5.8-magnitude earthquake in western Montana was the strongest to hit the state in 60 years, and it quickly raised fears that the nearby Yellowstone supervolcano had awoken from its long slumber. But Montana residents can rest easy: While the Yellowstone volcano is active, a common earthquake is unlikely to have an effect on this ancient cauldron of superheated rock.
Still, local fears are understandable: The temblor struck early on the morning of July 6, some 230 miles from Yellowstone National Park, and was accompanied by at least 10 lesser quakes. It was the region’s strongest earthquake in over a decade, but although the shaking startled residents, scientists quickly determined that it didn’t represent the ominous rumblings of an awakening supervolcano. The U.S. Geological Survey’s seismic sensors immediately identified the quake’s culprits, which were slipping faults — fractures in the Earth’s crust — and not a threatening reservoir of pressurized magma, waiting to explode out of the ground.
Scientists, however, certainly believe that the massive Yellowstone volcano, whose rim measures 30 miles long by 45 miles wide, has a catastrophic potential far greater than anything mankind has ever experienced before. It’s just not likely to reveal it anytime soon.
Quakes as intense as the one Montana just experienced are unsettling, but this earthly rousing is geologically commonplace. Yellowstone National Park experiences between 1,000 and 3,000 earthquakes each year, revealing an active volcanic world beneath one of America’s most popular national park destinations. The park’s heat-propelled geysers and dangerous thermal pools also hint at the hot magma brewing below.
But all that activity does not portend an eruption, large or small. Though scientists will never rule out the possibility of an eruption entirely, decades of everyday monitoring have revealed no signs of a looming eruption. According to the Yellowstone National Park’s website:
Another caldera-forming eruption is theoretically possible, but it is very unlikely in the next thousand or even 10,000 years. Scientists have also found no indication of an imminent smaller eruption of lava.
Signs of volcanism at or around Yellowstone, the park notes, should be expected:
As at many caldera systems around the world, small earthquakes, ground uplift and subsidence, and gas releases at Yellowstone are commonplace events and do not reflect impending eruptions.
If an eruption was imminent, scientists expect the buildup to be more extreme, something that would be detectable for weeks or even years. This would include massive deformations of the land around the park (think abruptly formed canyons) and a continued onslaught of earthquake swarms, perhaps jolting the area each day.
Yellowstone's history is a history of caldera-forming volcanism. A caldera is a volcanic basic, caused by a collapse of earth following a magma-emptying eruption.
Lava last gushed out of the Yellowstone supervolcano around 70,000 years ago, and in the last two million years, scientists believe that three “major” volcanic eruptions occurred. One of these, the Island Park super-eruption, left a telltale blanket of volcanic rock in the area about two million years ago, and scientists estimate that this event produced 2,500 times more ash than the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. This geologically puny eruption, it should be noted, leveled a forest, tossed trees around like toothpicks, blew the top off a mountain, caused over a billion dollars in damage, and dumped ash onto 11 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces.
Early Sunday morning, a full moon will take over the night sky, along with a clear glimpse of Saturn nearby. The Thunder Moon with be completely full at 12:07 a.m. Eastern time on Sunday, when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, allowing for its full luminosity. As is typical of a summer full moon, it will be visible above the horizon for a shorter time than in winter months. This summer full moon will grace us for around 10 hours.
Why It’s Called the “Thunder Moon”
The names we use for full moons come from Indigenous titles given to each one hundreds of years ago. The names tend to correspond to natural characteristics of the season and can carry spiritual significance. April’s Pink Moon was named after the pink wildflower known as phlox, which blooms around the same time as the moon phase.
This moon has actually been gifted several names. The Thunder Moon comes from a charmingly obvious point of inspiration — summer is a time of constant thunderstorms around much of the U.S. Algonquins also called it the Full Buck Moon; at this time of year a male deer’s antlers are in full growth mode. The Tlingit, in the Pacific Northwest, referred to it as the Salmon Moon.
Best Spots to See It
The best views of the moon will be where it’s highest in the sky — in this case the southern U.S. will get a prime-time view. In Miami, the Thunder Moon’s altitude will reach 48 degrees above the horizon, making it one of the best places to see it. New Yorkers will get a decent view, with the Thunder Moon reaching a maximum altitude of 29.3 degrees. On the opposite side of the world, Australia will get the least optimal perspective, with the full moon beginning to rise about three hours after its full phase has already occurred, at 2:07 p.m. in Sydney.
If you’re fortunate enough to see the full moon at night, hopefully it won’t be too stormy to get a good view. If the evening lives up to this moon’s namesake, don’t lose hope: a near-full moon will be visible on Monday as well.
The first report of a flying saucer crash landing came in 1947 and was said to have happened near a military base in Roswell. It wasn't long before rumors spread about alien bodies found in the spacecraft.
UFO expert Nick Pope spoke to Inside Edition about the crash in Roswell in the canon of American history and pop culture.
“Roswell is really the ground zero of the UFO phenomenon," he said. "It's the place not just where there was a sighting, here the suggestion was that something crashed, if that's true, the U.S. government has in its hands definitive evidence that we are not alone."
Decades after the unusual sighting, Roswell continues to be invoked in movies like Independence Day, as well as TV shows like The X-Filesand the aptly named Roswell.
Many of the sci-fi films and shows feature Area 51, the Nevada Air Force Base rumored to secretly house the evidence of extra-terrestrial life.
Dave Grohl, who formed the Foo Fighters in 1994, named the group after the military's nickname for UFO. He also named his record label Roswell Records, as an homage to the area.
Through the years there have been all sorts of strange lights in the sky.
Many remain mysterious while others are explained, like a 10-ton meteor that exploded over Russia and caused panic when it hit Earth in 2013.
In 1995, the Roswell incident was back in the headlines when Ailien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction? aired on network television. It showed what was believed to be three military doctors performing an autopsy on an alien corpse recovered from the Roswell crash site in 1947. The footage was later exposed as a hoax.
The fascination with beings from outer space continues with a new series UFOs: Uncovering the Truth, which airs Saturday night on Destination America.
“What's fascinating is it's not just a UFO story, it's now firmly a part of American pop culture,” Pope said.

B1 Bomber accompanied by two UFOs above Glendale, California?
B1 Bomber accompanied by two UFOs above Glendale, California?
A resident from Glendale, California took an image of a B1 bomber while doing a flyby at rose bowl in Pasadena.
Although the event occurred in 2012, when looking the image on his computer again, he noticed two unknown flying objects close to the B1 bomber which he did not saw with the naked eye at the time he took the image.
Wondering what the objects might have been he submitted the image to Mufon registered under case 84936 asking ‘What are these two objects, birds, dirt on the lens or maybe UFOs”?
The object was seen floating into the diamond shaped 'window' (Image: East2West)
A bizarre video which purports to show a UFO disappearing inside another before they both vanish has left viewers scratching their heads.
The strange film has been seen in the diamond-rich region of Yakutia in Russia's Siberia province, but its origin and location is unclear.
A man called Semyon, who posed the weird footage, said: "An unidentified flying object was seen floating above houses. It had many lights, and also a vapour trail."
He added: "At the end of a short video a diamond-shaped brightly illuminated 'window' opens up above the flying object, which disappears into it."
The footage emerged in the diamond rich area of Yakutia in Siberia(Image: East2West)
People have puzzled overwhat the strange sight could be(Image: East2West)
The diamond-shaped object then vanishes.
"There is no information about when and where it happened," said Semyon.
One theory is that the video is a "performance" involving lasers and a drone.
The diamond is seen closing when the object disappears(Image: East2West)
This is not the first UFO which has appeared over this region.
In October last year, a series of bright green flashes were seen in the sky above Lake Baikal near the Mongolian border.
Initially people believed it was the tail of a International Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) test but this was later disproved and a leading astronomer said it was not a meteorite.
Lilia Mironova from the Astronomical Observatory at Buryat State University in Ulan-Ude told the Siberian Times it was "definitely man-made" as it was travelling too slow to be a meteorite, meteor or comet and if it had hit the ground there would have been a "shockwave".
Exactly 70 years ago, on 8 July 1947, one of the most famous UFO sightings was reported by the press and it captivated both common folks and UFO hunters for years.
It was the Roswell incident where witnesses claimed that the US military had captured an alien aircraft. In reality, or what US military maintained, it was the debris of a surveillance device from a classified operation that was spotted by people.
But many still believe that there was some extra-terrestrial activity that day and that there are aliens out there who have visited Earth from time to time! And not just this, conspiracy theorists are firm...
ASTRONOMERS DISCOVERED A SOLAR SYSTEM WITH 7 EARTH-SIZED PLANETS — AND IT’S THE PERFECT PLACE TO SEARCH FOR ALIEN LIFE
ASTRONOMERS DISCOVERED A SOLAR SYSTEM WITH 7 EARTH-SIZED PLANETS — AND IT’S THE PERFECT PLACE TO SEARCH FOR ALIEN LIFE
NASA just announced something fantastic! A solar system 39 light years from Earth with seven exoplanets.
But that’s not the best part: Each planet is similar in size to Earth.
This doesn’t mean they are all similar in composition to Earth, nor are they teeming with life, but the possibility is there.
Three of the seven planets live in the habitable zone, where liquid water can exist on large scales — think vast, deep oceans like on Earth. And where there’s water, there’s the potential for life, as we know it.
This planetary system was first discovered in early 2016, but we now know how rich it is in Earth-sized planets. In fact, it holds the record for the most number of Earth-sized planets in a single planetary system.
Do any of these planets harbor life? That’s a question that we’ll have to wait to see.
On the premiere episode of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, host, Ryan Sprague, introduces the listeners to the show and then speaks with historian and author, Richard Dolan, about the media and UFOs. They also discuss the possibility and forms of disclosure that may occur in a new American political era, and then they wrap things up by confronting the future of UFO studies.
Richard Dolan is the author of two volumes of history, ‘UFOs and the National Security State’, both ground-breaking works which together provide the most factually complete and accessible narrative of the UFO subject available anywhere. He also co-authored a speculative book about the future, ‘A.D. After Disclosure’, the first-ever analysis not only of how UFO secrecy might end, but of the all-important question: what happens next Richard’s latest work, ‘UFOs for the 21st Century Mind’, provides a fresh treatment of the entire subject. In it, he discusses the important sightings, the encounters, the politics, the cover-up, ancient aliens, the bizarre science, disclosure, and offers advice on being both critical and open-minded in today’s world. Like his previous three books, it asks fresh questions and offers new insights to further our understanding of the UFO mystery.
Richard hosts a weekly radio show, The Richard Dolan Show on KGRA Radio, is a frequent guest on Coast-to-Coast AM. He is currently featured on several television series and documentaries, including Ancient Aliens, Hangar One: The UFO Files, Close Encounters, and UFOs: The Lost Evidence.
Prior to his interest in UFOs, Richard completed his graduate work at the University of Rochester, where he studied U.S. Cold War strategy, European history, and international diplomacy. Before that, he had studied at Alfred University and Oxford University, and had been a finalist for a Rhodes scholarship. In addition to his research, Richard’s company, Richard Dolan Press, actively publishes innovative books by authors from around the world. His website is www.richarddolanpress.com
Somewhere in the Skies: A Human Approach to an Alien Phenomenon
by Ryan Sprague
Ordinary people are seeing extraordinary things in our skies. And while reports of UFOs and their possible occupants are littered with dates, times, and descriptions, they rarely focus on those who’ve actually experienced them. How have these dramatic and often traumatic events affected those involved? Could both the positive and negative implications, whether subtle or revelatory, further our knowledge of what exactly these phenomena represent? Through extremely detailed testimony from highly credible witnesses, including pilots and military personnel, and insight from those in the psychological, academic, and scientific fields, Somewhere in the Skies: A Human Approach to an Alien Phenomenon, is a personal journey that also weaves together a story of stories, furiously pumping new blood into the heart of these mysteries, one inextricable experience at a time.
Footage uploaded to YouTube of the "UFO" filmed just outside Dos Palos off Interstate 5 in California, has been viewed more than 10,000 times.
The video shows a motorist pulling over next to a small road before filming a distant white object.
However, when the camera is later zoomed in it appears to have a green tinged trail coming from it.
It has been suggested by alien conspiracy theorist YouTube channel Third Phase of Moon, the object is hurtling into Earth’s outer atmosphere before the clip comes to an end.
The video narrator says: "In the beginning, I thought you may as well dismiss it as a weather balloon sighting.
“But the closer you look at it, the weather balloons don’t act this way.
“It continuously morphs and the colours are quite amazing.”
Viewers had mixed reactions.
YouTube
The 'trailing UFO' but it has emerged it dates back five years.
One YouTube poster said: “Weather balloon? You kidding… it's obvious that that is some thing out of this world.”
A second added: “Wow, I am speechless.”
However, a third added: “This is so clearly fake.”
Third Phase of Moon features on a number of UFO website and YouTube channel black lists created by sceptical ufologists, who claim they have screened hoax and misrepresented footage.
ufoofinterest.org
Ufoofinterest.org has compared the sighting to other balloons and says it is the same.
In the beginning, I thought you may as well dismiss it as a weather balloon sighting. But the closer you look at it, the weather balloons don’t act this way.
ThirdPhaseofMoon
Brothers Brett and Blake Cousins, who run the channel, deny this, claiming to be genuine researchers.
However, Scott Brando, who runs hoax-busting website ufoofinterest.org, says he tracked down the original footage... and it was a confirmed weather balloon filmed over Dos Palos, and videoed FIVE years ago.
Mr Brando provided Express.co.uk a link to the event as it was first published on YouTube in July 2012.
At the time, the uploader also claimed it was a UFO.
However, Mr Brando also provided links to other footage comparing the sighting to a deflating balloon.
He told Express.co.uk: I think we are seeing something like this, similar to a super pressure balloon deflated reflecting sunlight."
Most of us haven’t quite realized there is something extraordinary happening.
A few months ago, I freed myself from standard-procedure society. I broke the chains of fear that kept me locked up into the system. Since then, I see the world from a different perspective: the one that everything is going through change and that most of us are unaware of that.
Why is the world changing? In this post, I’ll point out the eight reasons that lead me to believe it.
1. No one can stand the employment model any longer.
We are reaching our limits. People working with big corporations can’t stand their jobs. The lack of purpose knocks on your door as if it came from inside you like a yell of despair.
People want out. They want to drop everything. Take a look on how many people are willing to risk entrepreneurship, people leaving on sabbaticals, people with work-related depression, people in burnout.
2. The entrepreneurship model is also changing.
Over the past few years, with the explosion of startups, thousands of entrepreneurs turned their garages into offices to bring their billion-dollar ideas to life. The vortex of entrepreneurship was to find an investor and get funded — to be funded was like winning the World Cup or the Super Bowl.
But what happens after you get funded?
“Isn’t it absurd that we, 7 billion of us living in the same planet, have grown further apart from each other?”
You get back to being an employee. You may have brought in people not sharing your dream, not in agreement with your purpose, and soon it’s all about the money. The financial end becomes the main driver of your business.
People are suffering with it. Excellent startups began to tumble because the money-seeking model is endless.
A new way to endeavor is needed. Good people are doing it already.
3. The rise of collaboration.
Many people have figured out that it doesn’t make any sense to go on by yourself. Many people have awakened from the “each man for himself” mad mentality.
Stop, take a step back, and think. Isn’t it absurd that we, 7 billion of us living in the same planet, have grown further apart from each other? What sense does it make to turn your back on the thousands, maybe millions, of people living around you in the same city? Every time it crosses my mind, I feel blue.
Fortunately, things are changing. Sharing, collaborative economy concepts are being implemented, and it points towards a new direction. The direction of collaborating, of sharing, of helping, of togetherness.
This is beautiful to watch. It touches me.
4. We are finally figuring out what the Internet is.
The Internet is an incredibly spectacular thing, and only now — after so many years — we are understanding its power. With the Internet, the world is opened, the barriers fall, the separation ends, the togetherness starts, the collaboration explodes, the help emerges.
Some nations saw true revolutions that used the Internet as the primary catalyst, such as the Arab Spring. Here in Brazil, we are just starting to make a better use out of this amazing tool.
Internet is taking down mass control. The big media groups controlling news by how it suits best what they want the message to be and what they want us to read are no longer the sole owners of information. You go after what you want. You bond to whomever you want. You explore whatever you may want to.
With the advent of the Internet, the small are no longer speechless. There is a voice. The anonymous become acknowledged. The world comes together. And then the system may fall.
5. The fall of exaggerated consumerism.
For too long, we’ve been manipulated to consume as much as we possibly can, to buy every new product launched — the newest car, the latest iPhone, the top brands, lots of clothes, shoes, lots and lots and lots of pretty much anything we could our hands on.
Going against the crowd, many people have understood that this is way off. Lowsumerism, slow life and slow food are a few types of action being taken as we speak, pointing out the contradiction of how absurdly we have come to organize ourselves.
“With the advent of the Internet, the small are no longer speechless. There is a voice. The anonymous become acknowledged. The world comes together. “
Fewer people are using cars. Fewer people are overspending. And more people are swapping clothes, buying used goods, sharing assets, cars, apartments, offices.
We don’t need all of that they told us we needed. And this consciousness of new consumerism can take down any company living on the exaggerated end of it.
6. Healthy and organic eating.
We were so crazy we even accepted eating anything! It only needed to taste good, and everything would be alright.
We were so disconnected that companies started to practically poison our food, and we didn’t say anything!
But then some people started waking up, enabling and strengthening healthy and organic eating.
This is only going to get stronger.
But what has this got to do with economy and work? Just about everything, I’d say.
Food production is one of the basic fundamentals of our society. If we change our mindset, our eating habit and our way of consuming, corporations will have to respond and adapt to a new market.
The small farmer is getting back to being relevant to the whole chain of production. People are even growing plants and seeds inside their homes as well.
And that reshapes the whole economy.
7. The awakening of spirituality.
How many friends do you have who practice yoga? What about meditation? Now think back, 10 years ago. How many people did you know by then who practiced these activities?
Spirituality, for too long, was for esoteric folks — those weird-like and mystic people.
But fortunately, this is also changing. We’ve come to the edge of reason and rationality. We were able to realize that, with only our conscious mind, we can’t figure out everything that goes on here. There is something else going on, and I’m sure you want to get hold of that as well.
You want to understand how these things work — how life operates, what happens after death, what is this energy thing people talk about so much, what is quantum physics, how thoughts can be materialized and create our sense of reality, what is coincidence and synchronicity, why meditation works, how it’s possible to cure some ailments using nothing but bare hands, how those alternative therapies not always approved by regular medicine can actually work sometimes.
Companies are providing meditation to their employees. Even schools are teaching the young how to meditate. Think about it.
8 . Un-schooling trends.
Who created this teaching model? Who chose the classes you have to take? Who chose the lessons we learn in history classes? Why didn’t they teach us the truth about other ancient civilizations? Why should kids follow a certain set of rules? Why should they watch everything in silence? Why should they wear a uniform? What about taking a test to prove what you actually learned?
We developed a model that perpetuates and replicates followers of the system, that breed people into ordinary human beings.
Fortunately, a lot of people are working to rethink that though concepts such as un-schooling, hack-schooling and homeschooling.
Maybe you’ve never thought of that and even may be in shock. But it’s happening.
Silently, people are being woken up and are realizing how crazy it is to live in this society. Look at all these new actions and try to think everything we were taught so far is normal. I don’t think it is.
There is something extraordinary happening.

Patterns in Earth's Magnetic Field Morph Every 1000 Years --"The Reason is a Mystery"
Patterns in Earth's Magnetic Field Morph Every 1000 Years --"The Reason is a Mystery"
Some 800,000 years ago, a magnetic compass' needle would have pointed south because the Earth's magnetic field was reversed. These reversals typically happen every several hundred thousand years. The geomagnetic field is critical to life on Earth. Without it, charged particles from the sun (the "solar wind") would blow away the atmosphere, scientists say. The field also aids in human navigation and animal migrations in ways scientists are only beginning to understand. Centuries of human observation, as well as the geologic record, show our field changes dramatically in its strength and structure over time.
Scientists have identified patterns in the Earth's magnetic field that evolve on the order of 1,000 years, providing new insight into how the field works and adding a measure of predictability to changes in the field not previously known.
The discovery also will allow researchers to study the planet's past with finer resolution by using this geomagnetic "fingerprint" to compare sediment cores taken from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Results of the research, which was supported by the National Science Foundation, were recently published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters.
Yet in spite of its importance, many questions remain unanswered about why and how these changes occur. The simplest form of magnetic field comes from a dipole: a pair of equally and oppositely charged poles, like a bar magnet.
"We've known for some time that the Earth is not a perfect dipole, and we can see these imperfections in the historical record," said Maureen "Mo" Walczak, a post-doctoral researcher at Oregon State University and lead author on the study. "We are finding that non-dipolar structures are not evanescent, unpredictable things. They are very long-lived, recurring over 10,000 years - persistent in their location throughout the Holocene.
"This is something of a Holy Grail discovery," she added, "though it is not perfect. It is an important first step in better understanding the magnetic field, and synchronizing sediment core data at a finer scale."
While scientists are well aware of the pattern of reversals in the Earth's magnetic field, a secondary pattern of geomagnetic "wobble" within periods of stable polarity, known as paleomagnetic secular variation, or PSV, may be a key to understanding why some geomagnetic changes occur.
The Earth's magnetic field does not align perfectly with the axis of rotation, which is why "true north" differs from "magnetic north," the researchers say. In the Northern Hemisphere this disparity in the modern field is apparently driven by regions of high geomagnetic intensity that are centered beneath North America and Asia.
"What we have not known is whether this snapshot has any longer-term meaning - and what we have found out is that it does," said Joseph Stoner, an Oregon State University paleomagnetic specialist and co-author on the study.
When the magnetic field is stronger beneath North America, or in the "North American Mode," it drives steep inclinations and high intensities in the North Pacific, and low intensities in Europe with westward declinations in the North Atlantic. This is more consistent with the historical record.
The alternate "European mode" is in some ways the opposite, with shallow inclination and low intensity in North Pacific, and eastward declinations in the North Atlantic and high intensities in Europe.
"As it turns out, the magnetic field is somewhat less complicated than we thought," Stoner said. "It is a fairly simple oscillation that appears to result from geomagnetic intensity variations at just a few recurrent locations with large spatial impacts. We're not yet sure what drives this variation, though it is likely a combination of factors including convection of the outer core that may be biased in configuration by the lowermost mantle."
The researchers were able to identify the pattern by studying two high-resolution sediment cores from the Gulf of Alaska that allowed them to develop a 17,400-year reconstruction of the PSV in that region. They then compared those records with sediment cores from other sites in the Pacific Ocean to capture a magnetic fingerprint, which is based on the orientation of the magnetite in the sediment, which acts as a magnetic recorder of the past.
The common magnetic signal found in the cores now covers an area spanning from Alaska to Oregon, and over to Hawaii.
"Magnetic alignment of distant environmental reconstructions using reversals in the paleomagnetic record provides insights into the past on a scale of hundreds of thousands of years," Walczak said. "Development of the coherent PSV stratigraphy will let us look at the record on a scale possibly as short as a few centuries, compare events between ocean basins, and really get down to the nitty-gritty of how climate anomalies are propagated around the planet on a scale relevant to human society."
The magnetic field is generated within the Earth by a fluid outer core of iron, nickel and other metals that creates electric currents, which in turn produce magnetic fields. The magnetic field is strong enough to shield the Earth from solar winds and cosmic radiation. The fact that it changes is well known; the reasons why have remained a mystery.
Now this mystery may be a little closer to being solved.
In the new science fiction film Arrival, Amy Adams must convince moviegoers that she is a crack linguist named Dr. Louise Banks, tasked with communicating with a many-tentacled alien species called Heptapods. Unsurprisingly, making us believe Amy Adams is really Louise is much easier than convincing us that Heptapods are what aliens might actually look like. Science fiction can make us believe all sorts of things, but there’s a tricky difference between something seeming realistic and being realistic.
At first glance, the aliens of Arrival are more convincing — or at least more complicated — than the extraterrestrials found in most sci-fi movies. But why? The simple answer to this is that they have both tentacles and a complex language. Plus, their language is real, even if it was made specifically for the movie. This means humans could conceivably use the logograms in Arrival to communicate, giving the alien invasion movie a sheen of plausibility.
Much older science fiction dealing with aliens (TV, film, poetry, or prose) often now feels laughable and outdated, because how can you not laugh at those stupid rubber masks in Outer Limits? But, it’s pretty important to remember that these don’t feel dated because of any contemporary advance of real science. As of now, there is no working biological field of study about what intelligent aliens would look actually look like. This isn’t to say the entire field of astrobiology doesn’t exist, it’s just that it’s primarily focused on the extraterrestrial environments where basic organisms could evolve. Wild speculation about whether intelligent aliens would have tentacles or exist as hive minds made out of gas doesn’t figure into real astrobiology.
And in terms of real science, contact with intelligent alien life is improbable enough to be considered practically impossible. The Fermi Paradox states plainly that the reason we don’t see any evidence intelligent alien life in the Milky Way Galaxy is because there isn’t any.
A many-tentacled alien in the 'Alien' prequel 'Prometheus'
In short: Because intelligent alien bodies have never, ever been seen, there is no real scientific case study on which to base their fictional design. Instead, the presentation of more “realistic” aliens with tentacles in science fiction is probably based on this line of thinking: Life as we know it would have evolved in an ocean. Things that live in the ocean have tentacles and seem “alien” to humans. Ergo, more “realistic” aliens would have space tentacles. And because there’s a legacy of great science fiction — like Octavia Butler’s 1987 novel Dawn — that feature complex aliens with tentacles, the many-tentacled alien motif has become code for more a more “plausible” alien.
Tentacles then, might be somewhat superficial, making the Heptapods really no more “alien” than the pointy-eared Vulcan, Mr. Spock on Star Trek. This isn’t the fault of the Heptapods, or of Mr. Spock. It’s actually just a very real limitation human creativity.
Ted Chiang’s short story “The Story of Your Life” (the basis for Arrival) finds Louise ruminating on the challenges of communicating with the aliens: “The familiar was far away, while the bizarre was close at hand,” she says. And though this is a brilliant line, it belies the opposite tendency of the physical depiction of aliens in most science fiction: We are in fact very “familiar” with the “bizarreness” of aliens who have tentacles.
In his groundbreaking 1997 meta-fictional essay/short story titled “If Lions Could Speak,” noted science fiction writer Paul Park points out that when any writer tries to “describe” an alien, that writer is probably only describing humanity through a lens. As Park writes: “The words we put into an alien mouth, the feeling into an alien heart, the tools into alien hands, what can they be but imitations of our words, feelings, tools?” In both “The Story of Your Life” and Arrival, the Heptapod aliens work in the narrative because there’s something human and relatable about them, despite their exotic appearance. No one loves this movie or short story because of the extreme “alienness” of the Heptapods. Instead, we love it because it has heart.
Cover detail of 'Coelestis.'
As Park writes, stories about aliens invariably show us something other than aliens: “When a writer conceives of an alien species, she will extrapolate what human beings would be like if they shared the alien’s morphology.” In his novel Coelestis (published as Celestis in the U.S.) Paul Park explored this as a literary conceit: The only way to write about aliens would be to imagine an alien who had been forced to be human. The story of Coelestis is all about aliens who have been coerced over the years to essentially change their species over to humanity. The novel focuses on a girl named Katherine who originally wasn’t a “girl,” because she’s not actually human. The plot then, focuses on her discovering her “alien” qualities. In this way, the dishonesty of trying to write from a true “alien” point of view is slyly subverted. “You can’t talk about the subject [of aliens] directly, or in a way that makes sense,” Park told Inverse, “Because of the logical problem in the story.”
Practically speaking, a realistic story about alien intelligence defies logic. In Stanislaw Lem’s famous novel Solaris, the basic question of bridging impossible communication gaps ends in sad failure. An intelligent alien ocean conjures up dead people from the memories of a depressed scientists in an attempt to say hello. Clearly, something is lost in translation.
But the impossibility of it all isn’t why we love stories like this. The communication with the Heptapods in Arrival is warm and touching because were are convinced — for a brief moment — that these aliens are real. The attention to detail and the idea that language is so central to the plot cements their “reality” firmly enough to make us care. But Louise’s journey with her Heptopod friends is ultimately — as all good alien stories are — mostly about her. “The alien intelligence becomes part of the landscape, something to be experienced or overcome,” Paul Park said. “It’s something to show us aspects of ourselves.”
When Louise writes the word “human” on her little dry erase board in Arrival, she’s really holding up a mirror to the Heptapods. And even if the reflection in that mirror is covered in tentacles, make no mistake, these aliens are still totally human.

Asking someone if they believe in aliens might seem like an innocent enough question, but it’s actually really loaded. Believing in the possibility of extraterrestrial life existing somewhere is definitely not the same as believing in abductions, flying saucers and government cover-ups. As many UFO fans celebrate the anniversary of Roswell, consider this: how come there have been fewer reports flying saucers and alien abductions in the age of the camera phone?
Many true-believers of little grey aliens consider July 8, 1947 to be a seminal moment, as it was the official date of the so called-“Roswell Incident”. According to lore, alleged real aliens crashed in Roswell, New Mexico and were quickly hidden by the US government. If you believe that alien visitors did in fact crash land on US soil on that date, that’s okay. But consider this: most of the eye-witness accounts of the Roswell crash are not only contradictory, they also don’t provide any kind of scientific body of information for anyone study. In his 1975 essay “The Rocketing Dutchman,” Isaac Asimov elucidated the problem with considering only eye-witness accounts as “proof” of flying saucers. “Eyewitness evidence by a small number of people uncorroborated by any other sort of evidence is worthless,” Dr. Asimov wrote. “There is not a single mystical belief that is not supported by numerous cases of eyewitness evidence.”
As Asimov explained, real scientific inquiry requires impartial data. Of course, devotees and fans of the X-Files who have mistaken it for a series of non-fiction documentaries will tell you that the lack of evidence supports the existence of a cover-up. Asimov calls this kind of circular argumentation “one of the chief delights of the intellectually feeble.”
In recent years, the phenomena of flying saucer sighting and alien abduction accounts have been viewed more soberly as sociological human quirks rather than fuzzy science fake-news. Writer Jack Womack explained that his collection of UFO ephemera, and cheekily titled 2016 book Flying Saucers are Real! were an attempt to catalog the beliefs of those obsessed with outlandish accounts.
“I can study TB without catching it, preferably,” Womack explained. “And I can be a student of the Bible without being a Christian.” Womack’s work on cataloging writing about flying saucer obsessions in the 20th century is exhaustive. Recently, Inverse got back in touch with the author, to discuss this important Roswell anniversary. This led to an important and relevant insight: “Going by both research and empirical observation the number of UFO reports dropped off significantly in the early 21st century,” Womack said. He attributes this, at least partially, to the rise of camera phones.
Which makes sense. Arguably, the ‘80s and ‘90s were the peak of UFO interest in the United States. Proof? The vast majority of famous books published about UFOs and government cover-ups — most notably The Roswell Incident by Charles Berlitz and William Moore — were published in these two decades. And yet, once every regular citizen had a camera on them at all times in their phones, reports of UFO sightings suddenly dropped off. Did the aliens get camera-shy?
In 2012, Joe Nickell and James McGaha outlined their theory of “Roswellian Syndrome” for the Skeptical Inquirer. Nickell and McGaha echo William Gibson’s observation that flying saucer theories are meme-like, insofar as they will experience a media bandwagon period, as well as a period of not being so interesting to the mainstream. They also predict that a reboot of everyone you know suddenly believing in Roswell is coming, too.
Basically, because it hasn’t been hip to believe in abductions for awhile, this can cause these kinds of beliefs to come back with a vengeance. “During a period of submergence, the mythologizing tendency has been at work followed by a reemergence—rather like a new, more virulent strain of a virus.”
Nickell and McGaha point out that contemporary “UFOlogists are always looking for a Holy Grail case to verify their belief.” And the problem there is that Holy Grail could easily exist. If only those abducted by aliens would remember to get a clear image of saucer men captured on their iPhones.
Research suggests traits could lead to “alien abduction” experiences.
Are you worried about being abducted by aliens? I suspect it will cross the mind of some of you reading this post that alien abduction is a possibility. After all, many people worldwide have claimed to have been abducted by aliens, been taken against their will to an alien spacecraft or enclosed place, questioned or physically examined, and they remember these experiences either consciously or through methods such as hypnosis. Indeed, many of those people who claim to be alien abductees are seemingly sincere, psychologically healthy, nonpsychotic people—so are their experiences real and their claims to have been abducted true?
Professor Rich McNally and his colleagues at Harvard University have spent over 10 years researching the psychology of alien abductees, and in particular why it is that some people embrace the identity of “alien abductee.” His research has isolated a number of traits possessed by ‘alien abductees’ each of which he argues contributes to the experiences they recall when ‘being abducted’ and to the desire to cling on to their belief that aliens were responsible for their abduction experiences. Let’s look at each of these five traits in turn.
1. Regularly experiencing sleep paralysis and hallucinations when awakening:
Many people who have reported alien abduction suffer episodes of early morning sleep paralysis. On awakening from this paralysis, their terror gives rise to hallucinations of flashing lights and buzzing sounds. Some experience feelings of ‘floating’ around the room or seeing figures in the room. While many people interpret these post-sleep paralysis experiences as dreaming, some people interpret these experiences as seeing figures, ghosts, or aliens.
2. Tendency to Recall False Memories:
In an elegant set of experimental studies, McNally and colleagues found that individuals who claimed to have been abducted by aliens were prone to what is known as “false memory syndrome.” That is, alien abductees regularly claimed to recall words, items, sentences, etc. in memory tests that they had never actually seen before. If this “false memory” affect can be generalized to autobiographical memories, then individuals who claim to have been abducted by aliens would be twice as likely to “falsely remember” things that had never happened to them than would non-abductees.
3. High levels of “Absorption”:
Alien abductees also score significantly higher than most people on the mental characteristic known as ‘absorption.’ This is a trait related to fantasy proneness, vivid imagery, and susceptibility to hypnosis and suggestion. Because of this it is probably not surprising that many alien abductees recall their experiences under hypnosis, where memories of abduction can be induced through suggestibility—especially if the person leading the hypnosis session asks particularly leading questions about abduction.
4. New Age beliefs:
Being whisked up into space ships by tractor beams or light sources is not something that happens every day—nor is it something that is easily explainable within our existing knowledge of physics. Similarly, being subjected to imaginative medical procedures requires a tendency to accept unusual and non-mainstream ideas. This is also a trait possessed by ‘alien abductees.’ They score highly on measures of magical ideation and endorse New Age ideas that encompass beliefs about alternative medicines and healing, astrology, and fortune telling. Such beliefs would certainly allow the individual to accept things happening to them that would be dismissed by existing scientific knowledge.
5. A familiarity with the cultural narrative of alien abduction:
As a cultural phenomenon, alien abduction has entered folklore and the images and descriptions of aliens and their spacecraft have become familiar to many people. Alien abductees tend to be very familiar with this cultural narrative which is one possible reason why their descriptions of aliens and their spaceships are so similar—being fuelled as they are by sci-fi films and numerous books about aliens and alien abduction.
As Professor McNally points out in a very readable review of his studies on alien abduction, it is still unclear whether all these characteristics are necessary ingredients in the recipe for ‘alien abduction’ or whether some are more necessary than others. Other researchers have also identified further traits that appear to be characteristic of ‘alien abductees’, such as paranoid thinking and weak sexual identity. There is still much more research to do to fully understand the motivations and thinking patterns of individuals who claim to have been abducted by aliens, but as McNally shrewdly points out, these people are not anxious nor depressed, they are not psychotic and do not appear to have any obvious mental health problems. ‘Alien abduction’ experiences often deepen spiritual awareness and give shape to the identities of abductees and provide a basis for their beliefs about the world and the universe. Whether the experiences of abduction were real or not, the experiences and interpretations adopted by ‘alien abductees’ are often psychologically helpful and can be spiritually comforting.
Finally, a note of caution.
All of these studies of ‘alien abductees’ were carried out after they had their abduction ‘experiences’, so it’s difficult to know whether these five traits are consequences of the experience or were—as McNally suggests—factors that led individuals to interpret rather earthly experiences (such as sleep paralysis and hallucinations) as evidence of abduction. And then— perhaps fantastically—can we genuinely rule out the possibility that such traits are implanted in their victims by aliens in invasive medical procedures carried out on alien space ships! My skeptical, scientific mind says probably not—but who knows?!
Series of gigantic arrangement are discovered buried deep beneath the Polar ice cap.
The mysterious “landmasses” are icy beneath an ice cap that’s some half a mile thick.
Have scientists found Atlantis? Mysterious Antarctic structures are discovered buried beneath half a mile of ice
The frozen wastes of Continent are hiding a big secret
These art show the location of the structures. The merchantman image shows how deeply they are inhumed beneath the ice
Some of them are so large they they are “alike in height with the Eiffel tugboat”.
The discovery is likely to ignite desert speculation among people who citizens who believe Antarctica is home to UFO bases and is concealing the remains of a lost civilisation.
Nevertheless, the scientists who found the structures were extended measured in their assessment of uncovering.
Conspiracy theorists conceive that there could be an elderly city hidden underneath the ice of Continent.
A team from the Université libre de Bruxelle in Belgique said the structures were support of “water conduits and Dregs ridges below the Antarctic ice episode”.
Essentially, this means thither is a large network of tunnels and strip frozen under the ice.
It’s believed these congenital formations contribute to the stability of the ice cap.
The mammoth landmasses “carve deep-seated incisions at the bottom of the ice”, forming “mark”.
These relatively small businessman are are the beginning of wider channels which develop in size “downstream” as the ice go closer to the sea.
In places where the ice is vagrant above the ocean, the thin ice is a “forceless spot when exposed to thaw from the warmer” bathe beneath.
If scientists understand the processes which design these channels, they may be strong to predict the effect climate exchange is having on ice caps.
However, this grave assessment is unlikely to silence the gibber of people who firmly believe Atlantis is skulking beneath the ice.
UFO encounters are often dismissed by skeptics as the product of attention-seekers, hoaxes, or simply overactive imaginations. But what happens when the UFO is seen by some of the most trained and trustworthy professionals around? Compared to encounters by ground-dwelling civilians, cases of UFOs seen by pilots and astronauts are some of the most credible UFO stories around.
These UFO sightings are, perhaps, the most convincing because these witnesses are highly respected professionals whom we trust with our lives. These individuals have nothing to gain by putting their careers and reputations on the line reporting bizarre happenings in the skies.
More shocking is the sheer volume of these reported incidents that happen every year. Here’s a list of some of the more notable sightings of alien spacecraft by pilots and astronauts.
1. Astronaut Leroy Chiao Reported a UFO While on a Space Walk with the ISS
In 2005, astronaut Leroy Chiao, commander of the International Space Station, reported a UFO encounter during a space walk. He and a colleague were installing navigation antennas when something unusual caught Chiao’s eye. Below him in the Earth’s atmosphere he saw a line of lights that looked like “an upside-down question mark.”
One non-UFO explanation for Chiao’s sighting offered by skeptics is that Chiao simply saw the bright lights of a fishing boat hundreds of miles below him. Of course, those would have to be some pretty insanely powerful fishing lights to be seen all the way in outer space – and why Chiao didn’t see the lights of other boats all over the ocean has never been explained.
2. Two Turkish Pilots Saw a Mysterious Object – And So Did Citizens Below
Pilots from Turkish Airlines were flying from the Turkish resort town of Bodrum to the country’s largest city, Istanbul. Suddenly, a mysterious green light appeared over the plane. As the pilot later testified,“An unidentified object with green lights passed 2- to 3,000 feet above us. Then it disappeared all of a sudden. We are guessing that it was a UFO.”
The UFO was also reported to be seen around Istanbul’s Silivri district.
The General Directorate of State Airports Authority denied spotting any image that fitted the description of the pilot. Doubters claim that the pilots saw a green laser pointer that was reflecting off a cloud. However, it seems pretty hard to believe pilots would never have seen a laser pointer before – plus, that would have had to be a pretty huge laser pointer to create an effect such as they described.
For the record, pilots do not generally report fleeting flashes of light as UFOs.
3. Reports Claim UFOs Met Astronauts During the Moon Landing
According to unconfirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that historic landing on the moon in Apollo 11 on July 21, 1969. Viewers listening to the broadcast heard Armstrong refer to lights above a crater before his audio feed went dead for a few minutes.
According to former NASA employee Otto Binder, unnamed radio hams with their own VHF-receiving equipment (that bypassed NASA’s broadcasting) picked up the following exchange:
NASA: What’s there?
Apollo 11: These babies are huge, sir! Enormous! OH MY GOD! You wouldn’t believe it! I’m telling you there are other spacecraft out there, Lined up on the far side of the crater edge! They’re on the moon watching us!
Armstrong and Aldrin have denied the exchange took place, but other have insisted that off the record, the astronauts have admitted to many scientists that they did indeed see something.
4. Mercury Astronaut Slayton Tracked a Flying Saucer
Gordon Cooper wasn’t the only Mercury astronaut to report strange encounters. Deke Slayton revealed in an interview he had seen UFOs in 1951:
I was testing a P-51 fighter in Minneapolis when I spotted this object. I was at about 10,000 feet on a nice, bright, sunny afternoon. I thought the object was a kite, then I realized that no kite is gonna fly that high. As I got closer, it looked like a weather balloon, grey and about three feet in diameter. But as soon as I got behind the darn thing, it didn’t look like a balloon anymore. It looked like a saucer, a disk. About the same time, I realized that it was suddenly going away from me – and there I was, running at about 300 miles per hour. I tracked it for a little way, and then all of a sudden the damn thing just took off. It pulled about a 45-degree climbing turn and accelerated and just flat disappeared.
5. Pilots Reported a Flying Saucer Over Bariloche Airport During a Mysterious Blackout
In 1995, an Aerolineas Argentinas flight landing at Bariloche airport in Argentina reported that it was “buzzed” by a luminous disk moving in a way that defied the laws of physics. According to reports, the pilot was forced to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision. Strangely, at the same time, there was also a mysterious power shortage in Bariloche.
There was also a power outage at the airport. One Argentine newspaper reported the air traffic control personnel as saying, “The control instruments went crazy.”
The UFO was also seen by personnel on the ground, as well as the crew of a police plane flying 600 meters (2,000 ft) above.
Ever since the Roswell UFO crash in 1947, there have been rumors about alien technology that was reverse engineered to develop a manmade spacecraft that uses anti-gravity technology. These projects are funded through dark government agencies who operate below the radar and have access to unlimited resources.
Sounds farfetched? People need to realize that back in the 60’s, the NSA already had access to computers that run at a clock-speed of roughly 650 megahertz. Only after 35 years, this type of technology was accessible to the general public. Imagine the technology that is currently being developed and will enter everyday live in 35 years…
One of these secret projects has been the TR3B, a spacecraft that is capable of entering space. There is no official confirmation of this project, but during the last 2 decades, numerous UFO sightings could be attributed to this craft.
It started in the late 80’s with the Belgium UFO flap. Thousands of witnesses reported seeing a black triangular craft with 3 distinct light. The Belgian General Wilfried de Brouwer stated during a press conference that the movements of this aircraft (radar confirmed) were not feasible for manmade airplanes at the time.
Recently a video from Russia emerged that shows the TR3B spacecraft flying through the sky. The craft is flying at a speed that is impossibly slow for regular airplanes. This might be the best video evidence of the existence of the TRB3 ever recorded.

Astronomers Observe Strange Quantum Distortion in Empty Space for the First Time Ever

IN BRIEF
Vacuum birefringence has been observed by a team of scientists for the first time ever using the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT).
The team observed neutron star RX J1856.5-375, which is about 400 light-years from Earth, with just visible light, pushing the limits of existing telescope technology.
A LITTLE LESS STRANGE
Vacuum birefringence is a weird quantum phenomenon that has only ever been observed on an atomic scale. It occurs when a neutron star is surrounded by a magnetic field so intense, it’s given rise to a region in empty space where matter randomly appears and vanishes.
This polarization of light in a vacuum due to strong magnetic fields was first thought to be possible in the 1930s by physicists Werner Heisenberg and Hans Heinrich Euler as a product of the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED). The theory describes how light and matter interact.
Now, for the first time ever, this strange quantum effect has been observed by a team of scientists from INAF Milan (Italy) and from the University of Zielona Gora (Poland).
Using the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), a research team led by Roberto Mignani observed neutron star RX J1856.5-375, which is about 400 light-years from Earth.
Neutron stars are rather dim, yet they are 10 times more massive than our sun. As such, they have extremely strong magnetic fields permeating their surface and surroundings.
Vacuums are supposedly empty spaces (according to Einstein and Newton, at least) where light can pass through uninhibited or unchanged. But, according to QED, space is full of virtual particles continually popping in and out of existence. Very strong magnetic fields, like those surrounding neutron stars, can modify such spaces as vacuums.
Using the FORS2 instrument on the VLT, the researchers were able to observe the neutron star with just visible light, pushing the limits of existing telescope technology.

BETTER TELESCOPES
Studying VLT data on the star, the researchers saw linear polarization occurring at a significant degree of around 16%. This is very likely due to vacuum birefringence in the area surrounding RX J1856.5-375.
“The high linear [polarization] that we measured with the VLT can’t be easily explained by our models unless the vacuum birefringence effects predicted by QED are included,” said Mignani.
Given the limited technology used, Mignani believes that future telescopes can discover more about similar strange quantum effects by studying other neutron stars. “[Polarization] measurements with the next generation of telescopes, such as ESO’s European Extremely Large Telescope (EELT), could play a crucial role in testing QED predictions of vacuum birefringence effects around many more neutron stars,” he said.
“This measurement, made for the first time now in visible light, also paves the way to similar measurements to be carried out at X-ray wavelengths,” researcher Kinwah Wu said.
