BAALBEK MEGALITH: MYTHS ABOUT THE LARGEST 'MAN MADE' STONE ON EARTH
BAALBEK MEGALITH: MYTHS ABOUT THE LARGEST 'MAN MADE' STONE ON EARTH
Two thousand years ago, in the city of Heliopolis, or Baalbek, Lebanon as it is called now, a temple to the deity Jupiter was erected atop three enormous stone blocks each weighing more than one thousand tons. An imperfect stone of similar dimensions was located in a nearby quarry where the blocks are believed to have been excavated and formed. A few years ago yet another was found in the quarry; it is considered to be the largest of its kind ever discovered.
MASSIVE MEGALITH BLOCK REIGNITES ANCIENT MYSTERY
The mystery behind these enormous ancient constructions is twofold. Notable historians and archaeologists have been unable to find any evidence or clues to point them towards who may have ordered the Temple of Jupiter to be built. For more than a century, experts have failed to shed light on the origin of the temple, which is believed to be constructed by Romans and likely for religious reasons, but no specific person or group can be determined.
"There are many local legends about the origin of the temple: Cain built it to hide from the wrath of God; giants built it, at Nimrod’s command, and it came to be called the Tower of Babel; Solomon built it, with djinns’ assistance, as a palace for the Queen of Sheba. (It is said that the reason some blocks were left in the quarry is that the djinns went on strike.) "
This is noteworthy due to the enormity of the project- the labor and expense would be by no means minor. Unfortunately, no concrete information has been discovered on this or on what experts call the Trilithon, the ancient blocks. The blocks themselves are much more interesting a find given the technological deficiencies of the age. In modern times, it would still require some feat to move stones as heavy and large as these, and that is with the benefit of two thousand years of technological advancement. The primitive cranes and rolling devices of the day would not be sufficient to transport these blocks to their destination. It is an engineering accomplishment worthy of investigation.
BIBLICAL, MYTHOLOGICAL OR EXTRATERRESTRIAL?
Unfortunately, as the new stone was discovered during a quiet period in the Syrian war and with hostilities still ongoing, the mystery will have to wait until it is safe to continue excavating. What remains is speculation. There is already mythological and biblical explanations surrounding the stones and even extra-terrestrial ones. The Trilithon may precede the temple as the age of the stones, and the quarry itself is under debate. A landing platform for a spacecraft might require such a structure.
BAALBEK IN LEBANON: THE LARGEST KNOWN MEGALITHIC STONE IN THE WORLD
In April 2011, a group of Swedish cazatesoros called ‘Ocean X’, led by Peter Lindberg, announced with fanfare the discovery of a strange and huge object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.(Baltic Sea Anomaly)
From there, he was baptized as the famous Baltic UFO. But much later it became known that it is nothing more than a glacial deposit, a rocky formation dragged by ice to the sea thousands of years ago. Volker Brüchert, an associate professor of geology at the University of Stockholm, came to that conclusion after studying the samples provided by his discoverer, Peter Lindberg, who declined to comment.(Baltic Sea Anomaly)
The strange and enormous object found at the bottom of the sea was about 60 meters in diameter and its curious oval shape, with two billions and long symmetrical protrusions, coupled with mysterious trawls of several hundred meters, made Lindberg think that said Object had fallen to the sea and had slipped on the bottom until it was completely still in its current position.(Baltic Sea Anomaly)
End of the puzzle
Immediately the speculations began, from an old Nazi experiment to the remains of Atlantis or, better still, an extraterrestrial star ship there who knows when. Be that as it may, the object was called “the anomaly of the Baltic” and since then Lindberg has done everything possible to echo it and to raise funds for new expeditions. At the same time, of course, he was collecting headlines around the world and enormous publicity for his company. Volker Brüchert, after analyzing the data collected by the treasure hunter, who did not want to comment on it, said that it is actually a rock formation dragged by glaciers into the deep waters a few thousand years ago,
Brüchert argued on the show that the treasure hunter gave him: “I came across a black mineral that could be a volcanic rock. My hypothesis is that this object, this great structure, was formed during the Ice Age many thousands of years ago.
It is good that there are critics voices about this supposed mystery of the Baltic Sea, “and adds:” What Ocean X’s team completely ignored is that most of the samples they took from the bottom of the sea were granite, gneiss The same composition as granite) and sandstone. ”
And this, according to the scientist, is exactly what we would expect to see in a glacial basin. The entire Baltic Sea is a large glacial basin, a region excavated by ice thousands and thousands of years ago.
The disk shaped relic has indentations, ridges, straight lines, and curvatures which are carved with incredible precision as if it were forged for an intended purpose. To state that it is an anomaly created in nature by glacial manipulation is to deny the laws of physics. It needs to be brought above the surface and it's resting place excavated and scrutinized. Anything less is pure speculation of idiotic proportions.
all that ridges and lines on the picture are artists imagination! No close up pic was ever taken but only blurry zoomed sonar image was made available.
I agree if they really want to know what it is pulled that thing up and start cutting into the outer Rock because honestly yeah we're UFO conspiracy theorist but that looks like a damn craft that crashed into the water and it is just been there for so long that the rock formation has completely encrusted in around it and the staircase that's built looks like something that mankind built up to the top of it maybe they were trying to memorialize the craft who knows but it does look like a spacecraft there's too much detail in that thing to say it's just some rock formation that occurred
I don't think such a complex and intricate form is likely to be the result of random natural process. What seems more likely to me is that it could be an archeological artifact carved by humans of an ice age civilization thousands of years ago when the sea level was lower and it was exposed on land. It may well have been used for ceremonial purposes until it ws inundated by the rising sea.
I think the 'illustrations' are man made artwork. What we see of the object is deliberately obscure(d). I'd say it's a piece of rock beneath the water. Glacial drag? Probably. If it was a true anomaly, in this day and age, there would be more detailed imagery of the actual rock.
I've seen glacial drag ,,possible yes,,but intricate design and electronic distortion from above sea level,,think again with an open but reasonaed mind..please
The images you are referring to that are carved with precision..might those be artist renditions you dbags? The only real image that exists is one blurry sonar image with zero detail...it looks nothing like a ufo or anything manmade..it looks exactly like a glacial rock formation...mystery solved..
The stones lying on top of the Anomaly have been tested at a Lab in Israel: " This rock has been subjected to very high temperatures 18 to 20 thousand Degrees" says the report, and the sample is not part of the Anomaly its self. Food for thought !!!
it is quite obvious to anyone with half a brain that this anomally is quite simply the remains of a ford thansit van which was dumped overboard to allow more men to be recued from dunkirk and repatriated to jersey guernsey and sark, see innit
10 Astonishing Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Mars
10 Astonishing Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Mars
The second smallest planet in the Solar System is the main topic for space explorers around the world.
We’ve sent dozens of spacecraft and rovers there to study it. Also, within 15 to 20 years agencies are planning to send people to the Red Planet.
So, here are 10 exciting facts to know about Mars:
1. Mars has the largest mountain in the whole solar system
Our red planet’s Olympus Mons is a shield volcano that is three times the height of Mount Everest. It has a height of nearly 22km and a diameter of 600km.
It nearly occupies the same amount of area as mainland France, while scientists believe it may still be active.
2. Mars Has Methane In Its Atmosphere
In 2014, the Curiosity Rover discovered ‘burps’ of methane, which Nasa scientists said at the time could indicate “life or evidence of ancient methane trapped which could show ancient life”. Methane can be interpreted as a sign of biological activity — microbes emit it — or even of geologic activity. And active planets, it is thought, are more likely to have life on them.
3. You’d feel lighter on Mars
The Red Planet is smaller than Earth and has less surface gravity than our home. Thus, when humans will set foot on Mars they will feel much lighter.
On Mars, you’d experience 62.5% less gravity than you’re used to on Earth, so if you weighed 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh only 38lbs on Mars.
4. Mars Had Water In The Ancient Times
There was a long debate going on about whether Mars had life or not. In fact, the astronomer Percival Lowell misinterpreted observations of “canali” (the Italian word for channels) on the planet as evidence of alien-made canals. But, some poor telescope optics of Lowell’s day quashed his observations. Thus, the channels he saw were nothing but optical illusions.
That said, several spacecraft have spotted other signs of ancient water — channels grooved in the terrain and rocks that only could have formed in the presence of water.
5. Mars Has Frozen Water Today
Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS
Simply put, water implies habitability. So, life as we know it is more likely to exist with water there. Mars has a thin atmosphere that does not allow water to flow or remain in large quantities on the surface. In the other side, we know for sure that there is ice at the poles and possibly frosty locations elsewhere on the planet. The question is if the ice is capable of melting enough water in the summer long enough to support any microbes.
6. We Have Pieces Of Mars On Earth
In the past, the planet has been hit by large asteroids, just like Earth. Most of the debris fell back on the planet, but some of it was ejected into space. That sparked an incredible journey where the debris moved around the Solar System and in some cases, landed on Earth.
7. Ice age
This simulated view shows Mars as it might have appeared during the height of a possible ice age in geologically recent time. Credit: NASA
Mars is emerging from an ice age that ended 400,000 years ago, radar images have shown.
8. A year on Mars
Earth makes a faster orbit around the sun because it’s closer to it. Meanwhile, Mars is much farther, thus having a longer revolution around our Star. A Martian year is the equivalent of 687 Earth days –while a day on the Red Planet only lasts 40 minutes more than one on Earth.
9. Mars Used To Have A Thicker Atmosphere
It is thought that the Sun’s energy striking the atmosphere must have “stripped” the lighter forms of hydrogen from the top, scattering the molecules into space. Over long periods of time, this would lessen the amount of atmosphere near Mars.
10. Humans on Mars
Image Credit: NASA
Nasa is planning to create an ‘Earth Independent’ Mars colony by the 2030s.
“Like the Apollo programme, we embark on this journey for all humanity,” said Nasa. “Unlike Apollo, we will be going to stay.
“In the next few decades, Nasa will take steps toward establishing a human presence beyond Earth.
Pierre Beake has spent years investigating crop circles in the south west of England, and is convinced they are a paranormal phenomenon, that cannot all be the work of hoaxers.
Mr Beake, who travels from France to investigate the activity, claims to have captured mysterious balls of light (BOLs) on video camera shooting at speed across Milk Hill in Wiltshire, a reknowned crop circle site.
He has also captured several alleged BOLs on still camera around crop circles.
Crop circles - allegedly made by landing UFOs - have been widely considered one of the world's biggest paranormal hoaxes since 1991, when Doug Bower and David Chorley were filmed showing how they made many of the reported corn field patterns discovered across the UK.
The duo said they simply used wooden planks and rope to flatten corn in a circular fashion.
The pair started the tomfoolery in the 1970s to tease locals who believed in UFOs.
In the latter half of the 1990s more "circle makers", who tried to out do each other with the most complicated designs, emerged.
Pierre Breake*Jon Austin
Pierre Break says these were paranormal orbs filmed over a Wiltshire crop circle.
But despite the hoaxers outing themselves many years ago, there are now others, including Mr Beake, who refuse to believe they could make the "highly geometric" patterns and say there may be something much more paranormal behind them.
BOLs have been long linked to crop circles by people who continue to believe they are a paranormal event and possibly connected to alien visitations of Earth.
According to Palden.co.uk: "Balls of light have been seen a number of times around crop formations.
"They seem to be yellow-orange, floating around circles with signs of pattern or intent."
Mr Beake revealed his footage and photography and the myth Glastonbury Symposium, an annual conference dedicated to the paranormal, conspiracy theories, alternative thought, and new age philosophies.
He said: "When you go for the first time in a crop circle you can't explain the feeling.
This is incredible. There were 10 people on the hill. It is very good footage of people who went to see balls of light.
Pierre Breake
The researcher showed two separate videos showing what he said were BOLs travelling at high speed over crop circle hotspots.
He said: "Look at this video, you see a bright light on camera. You see it in the distance come across the field. It is windy, but it stays at the same speed with the same force. It is a good piece of footage of a ball of light."
Another clip was filmed at known crop circle hot spot Milk Hill, near Alton Priors in Wiltshire, with a number of people in the fields.
He said: "This is incredible. There were 10 people on the hill. It is very good footage of people who went to see balls of light."
Mr Beake showed the audience an array of pictures which he said were balls of light above crop circles, that could not be explained.
Referring to one, he said: "There were two big balls of light that just disappeared. There was no rain, no moisture. It was a hot day, you just can't explain it, it is very weird."
Discussing another, he said: "At Milk Hill you see two lights. You have to be there at the right time. I can't explain it, I didn't see them at the time. It is not a plane coming towards you it is part of the Wiltshire mystery."
However, Scott Brando, who runs debunking website ufoofinterest.org, believes Mr Beake could be mistaken.
Mr Brando looked at the video footage of supposed BOLs flying over the fields and said they were just out of focus birds swooping over.
In terms of balls of lights in still photographs, he said these could be caused by light refracting inside the lens and projecting an image onto the picture, which is why the photographer would not have seen it at the time.
Other causes could be raindrops on the lens, or light bouncing of an insect or other object in the air.

A rare "pink rainbow" was spotted in the west of England on Monday evening.
The phenomenon, seen in Bristol, Taunton and Yate, has been described as an "optical illusion" by experts.
People who photographed it described it as "amazing" and "pretty" on BBC Points West's Facebook page .
BBC Weather presenter Simon King said there was no specific name for the phenomenon, which was caused by a regular rainbow and a pink sunset happening at the same time.
"We've got a regular rainbow, which is caused by water droplets in the atmosphere reflecting the sunlight into the spectrum of different colours," he said.
"The other thing is a pinkish sunset caused by sunlight having to pass through a lot more atmosphere - due to the low sun angle late in the day - hence the shortwave colours - violets, blues, greens - are diminished and we only see the pinks and reds, giving the rainbow a pinkish colour."

Maantje Prometheus schittert tussen de machtige ringen van Saturnus
Maantje Prometheus schittert tussen de machtige ringen van Saturnus
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Adembenemend mooi deze foto, gemaakt door een ruimtesonde die op zijn laatste benen loopt.
De machtige brede A-ring aan de linkerzijde van de foto is natuurlijk niet te missen. Maar toch trekt de aandacht direct naar de ietwat spookachtige, veel dunnere ring aan de andere kant. Het is de F-ring. Veel van de onregelmatigheden in deze ring zijn terug te leiden naar een piepklein maantje dat ook op de foto is vastgelegd: Prometheus. Hoewel het maantje slechts 86 kilometer groot is, is deze met zijn zwaartekracht van invloed op het uiterlijk van de dunne F-ring.

Grande Finale De prachtige foto werd in mei gemaakt, maar is nu pas door NASA vrijgegeven. De foto is natuurlijk het werk van Cassini, de ruimtesonde die al sinds 2004 rond Saturnus cirkelt en sinds eind april bezig is aan zijn Grande Finale. Tijdens dit deel van de missie duikt de sonde herhaaldelijk in het gat tussen Saturnus en zijn ringen.
DE HOOGTEPUNTEN
Benieuwd naar de hoogtepunten van de Cassini-missie? Klik hier! Of bekijk hier de mooiste foto’s die de sonde in bijna twee decennia tijd heeft gemaakt.
Nachtzijde Op het moment dat Cassini de foto maakte, was deze zo’n 1,1 miljoen kilometer van Saturnus verwijderd. Cassini keek op dat moment tegen de nachtzijde van Prometheus aan, maar slaagde er wel in om een klein deel van het zonovergoten noordelijke halfrond van de maan te fotograferen.
Terwijl Cassini onverminderd doorgaat met prachtige foto’s maken en onderzoeksdata verzamelen, is het grote aftellen toch echt begonnen. Nog iets meer dan een maand en dan zal de sonde zich in de atmosfeer van Saturnus boren. Daarmee komt een einde aan een ruimtemissie die – van lancering tot laatste signaal – bijna twintig jaar heeft geduurd.
China's ruimtelab stort mogelijk nog dit jaar naar beneden
China's ruimtelab stort mogelijk nog dit jaar naar beneden

Maar geen paniek: Tiangong-1 zal waarschijnlijk grotendeels in de atmosfeer verbranden.
Op dit moment bevindt het ruimtelab Tiangong-1 zich op zo’n 349 kilometer hoogte. Maar dagelijks zakt het lab zo’n 160 meter. En dus nadert het moment waarop het lab in de aardse atmosfeer belandt, snel. De Chinezen verwachten dat Tiangong-1 ergens tussen oktober 2017 en april 2018 de aardse atmosfeer binnendringt.
Kleine kans op schade Berekeningen wijzen echter uit dat het grootste deel van het lab de val door de atmosfeer niet overleeft. De kans dat onderdelen van het lab voor schade zorgen in de lucht of op de grond, wordt dan ook klein geacht.
Waarschuwing De Chinese ruimtevaartorganisatie houdt Tiangong-1 desalniettemin de komende tijd nauwlettend in de gaten. Wanneer de locatie waar en het moment waarop Tiangong-1 de atmosfeer binnendringt, nauwgezetter voorspeld kunnen worden, zullen de Chinezen dat wereldkundig maken. Indien nodig zal er dan ook een waarschuwing worden afgegeven.
Tiangong-2 Tiangong-1 werd op 29 september gelanceerd. In de jaren die volgden werd er zes keer bij het ruimtelab aangemeerd door de ruimtevaartuigen Shenzhou-8, Shenzhou-9 en Shenzhou-10. Sommige van die vluchten waren bemand. Sinds september 2016 wordt het ruimtelab echter niet meer gebruikt. In diezelfde maand lanceerden de Chinezen Tiangong-2, een ruimtelab waarin astronauten langduriger dan in Tiangong-1 kunnen vertoeven.
Tiangong-1 is heel belangrijk geweest voor de grote ambitie die China heeft: een eigen ruimtestation bezitten. Tot op heden is dat alleen de VS en Rusland weggelegd. Maar alles wijst erop dat dat binnenkort gaat veranderen.
Maak kennis met de North North Temperate Little Red Spot 1 (NN-LRS-1 voor intimi).
De storm wordt sinds 1993 in de gaten gehouden, maar is waarschijnlijk nog veel ouder. Het is een hogedrukgebied: het op twee na grootste dat Jupiter rijk is en doorgaans ongeveer 6000 kilometer lang.
De kleur van dit hogedrukgebied varieert tussen rood en beige. Op dit moment is het hogedrukgebied wit van kleur. Maar deze foto – gemaakt door ruimtesonde Juno – onthult dat het hart van de storm nog steeds roodkleurig is.
Juno maakte de foto op 10 juli toen deze voor de zevende keer langs Jupiter scheerde. Op het moment dat de foto gemaakt werd, was de sonde zo’n 11.444 kilometer van de wolkentoppen van Jupiter verwijderd. De foto is bewerkt door Gerald Eichstädt en Seán Doran. Zo is de foto iets gedraaid: bovenaan zien we de gebieden nabij de evenaar, terwijl onderaan de gebieden nabij de noordpool pronken.
Ruimtesonde Juno cirkelt alweer een jaar rond Jupiter en doet onder meer onderzoek naar het magnetisch veld en de kern van Jupiter. Ook zoekt de sonde uit hoeveel water er in de atmosfeer van Jupiter zit. Daarnaast heeft Juno al heel wat mooie kiekjes van de aarde gestuurd. Zo konden we dankzij de sonde vorig jaar voor het eerst een blik werpen op de noordpool van Jupiter.

'Ontstaan van menselijk geslacht was mogelijk toeval'
'Ontstaan van menselijk geslacht was mogelijk toeval'
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Het geslacht Homo – waartoe wij allemaal behoren – is mogelijk toch niet in reactie op klimaatverandering ontstaan.
Meer dan 2,5 miljoen jaar geleden ontstond een nieuw geslacht: Homo. En het ontstaan van dat geslacht wordt in verband gebracht met een verandering in het klimaat. Maar is dat wel terecht? Onderzoeker W. Andrew Barr trekt dat in een nieuwe studie – verschenen in het blad Paleobiology in twijfel.
Een fossielenverslag is eigenlijk alle informatie die we op basis van fossiele (versteende) resten hebben over het vóórkomen en de evolutie van organismen die door de tijden heen geleefd hebben.
Clusters Wanneer in een bepaald gebied grote veranderingen optreden – bijvoorbeeld doordat het klimaat verandert – heeft dat gevolgen voor de soorten die in dat gebied leven. Sommige soorten zullen uitsterven en anderen zullen het levenslicht zien. Met dat in het achterhoofd zou je verwachten dat nieuwe soorten in clusters ontstaan. En dat zien we ook terug in het fossielenverslag (zie kader). Maar hebben al die clusters nu een aanleiding of ontstaan ze soms ook toevallig? Dat heeft Barr nu uitgezocht.
Simulaties Hij gebruikte computersimulaties om uit te zoeken hoe het fossielenverslag eruit zou zien als er geen klimaatverandering plaats zou vinden. En ook zonder klimaatveranderingen bleken nieuwe soorten in clusters te ontstaan. De omvang van die clusters was vergelijkbaar met de clusters die we in het werkelijke fossielenverslag zien en toegeschreven worden aan klimaatverandering. Wat kunnen we daaruit afleiden? Nou, dat toeval een veel grotere rol speelt in het ontstaan van clusters dan gedacht.
Elke blauwe lijn staat symbool voor een soort: het begin is het ontstaan ervan, het einde is het uitsterven ervan. In het rode kader zie je een cluster van soortvorming.
Afbeelding: W. Andrew Barr.
Kop of munt Je kunt het vergelijken met het opwerpen van een munt, zo stelt Barr. Als je een munt 100 keer opgooit, zou je verwachten dat je vijftig keer munt en vijftig keer kop gooit. Maar als je vervolgens enkel kijkt naar tien van de honderd keer dat je de munt hebt opgegooid, kan het best zijn dat je ziet dat er drie keer munt en zeven keer kop is gegooid. In feite zie je dan in een serie worpen die geheel los van elkaar staan, clusters van munt en kop ontstaan. Op vergelijkbare wijze kunnen in het fossielenverslag flinke clusters ontstaan die puur het resultaat zijn van toeval en dus eigenlijk geen betekenis hebben, oftewel geen specifieke aanleiding hebben.
En dat betekent weer dat we wellicht ook ons eigen ontstaan eens kritisch onder de loep moeten nemen. “Het idee dat ons geslacht meer dan 2,5 miljoen jaar geleden als onderdeel van zo’n cluster in directe reactie op klimaatverandering ontstond, wordt al lang omarmd in de paleoantropologie,” stelt Barr. “Mijn studie laat zien dat de omvang van dat cluster veroorzaakt kan zijn door onwillekeurige fluctuaties in de snelheid van de soortvorming. Eén implicatie is dat we onze zoektocht naar waarom ons geslacht op dat moment en die plek ontstond, moeten uitbreiden.”
Skyfest this past weekend lured several dozens of people, and at least one of them recorded a video of what he believed a UFO. John Whichelow said that he never captured anything like it ever. The air show at Fairchild AFB involved the Thunderbirds and Whichelow thought he was just recording them at first, but when he watched the video again, he noticed two different UFOs in the frame.
Whichelow said that the UFOs were likely moving incredibly fast as they appeared when the announcer said that those jets were going 500 mph. According to the amateur videographer, some suggested that they could be meteors, birds or bugs close to the camera. However, he does not think it is any of those.
The video shows a mysterious white object passes across the frame before the Thunderbirds pass each other. At around 36 seconds later, a smaller black object appears following behind the ascending Thunderbird.
Whichelow believes what Carl Sagan had stated saying that there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the beach. With stars that many, Whichelow believes many are older than ours and humanity will get to the stars someday. Whichelow further explains that the possibility that someone has gotten here already from the older stars makes a lot of sense.
Researchers Document Large UFO in Squamish On Video
Researchers Document Large UFO in Squamish On Video
A giant orb that was captured on video near the Stawamus Chief excites London, Ontario documentary and research crew Rob Freeman and Marcus McNabb. The pair has travelled to 30 cities and 11 countries in the past three years with a determination to document what is out there after being inspired by experiences during their childhood years.
The sighting is the best they got on video to date, according to Freeman, who is a senior field researcher for the scientific study of atmospheric anomalies. Freeman added that the happenings in the world are not known to many people.
The crew used night imaging technology for collecting data to see the visible and invisible. On July 22, the pair arrived in Squamish. An unnamed man at the Britannia Mine gift shop shared them a story on unusual things on the Chief trail.
When the night came, the duo entered the forest and soon after they reportedly saw a large sphere of light moving across the sky and descending into the woods.
The UFO has no sound, and they were certain it was not a plane.
While the sighting was just short, Freeman was able to record the thing. Freeman explained that the orb was in front of the trees because the trees behind the orb were all lit up.
Any scientist who publicly shares information that could challenge the belief systems of many will always come under public scrutiny and ridicule. But when you worked on space plasma technologies, nuclear fusion, and advanced space propulsion, and invented the Microwave Electro-Thermal plasma thruster using water propellant for space propulsion, people are probably going to take you seriously.
This is the case with Dr. John Brandenburg and, apart from what’s listed above, he has also worked for the Government with top-secret security clearances on various projects. He has worked on the Rocket Plume Regolith Interactions on the Moon and Mars, Vortex theory of Rocket engine design and the combined Sakharov-Kaluza-Klein theory of Field Unification for purposes of space propulsion and Mars science.
Brandenburg was also the Deputy Manager of the Clementine Mission to the Moon, which was part of a joint space project between the Ballistic Missile Defence Organization (BMDO) and NASA. The mission discovered water at the Moon’s poles in 1994. (Source: page 16 of 18)(source)(source)
He currently works as a consultant to Morningstar Applied Physics. Here is one of his latest research endeavours. Currently, Brandenburg works as a part time instructor of Astronomy, Physics and Mathematics at Madison College, and other learning institutions in Madison, Wisconsin.
He has quite the extensive background to say the least, and is now one of hundreds of people from the ‘inside’ with verified backgrounds and credentials to ‘blow the whistle’ on our world of secrecy. The fact that so many people are now stepping forward to speak allows one to listen, corroborate, and connect the dots between the testimony, as well as the verified information that’s already available in the mainstream.
It’s up to you to make your own conclusions from the information that’s available.
According To Brandenburg
“Mars presents the human race with a Darwinian intelligence test, and so-far, we are failing it. Scientists cannot connect the dots at Mars because the resulting picture is too terrifying to accept.”
In the presentation below, Brandenburg provides evidence in support of an Earth-like Mars in the past, followed by a presentation of nuclear data revealing ‘weapon-signature’ isotopes showing two massive nuclear “airbursts” in the Northern regions of Mars.
It’s important to note that, at the same time Brandenburg was giving his presentation on evidence in support of an Earth-like Mars in the past, NASA held a press conference announcing that Mars was once a planet very much like Earth, with multiple giant oceans and greenery. In the conference, the scientists also announced that that Mars could still have flowing rivers of water on it, and that there was a good probability that life did indeed exist there in the past.
A quote from the conference:
“The more we observe Mars, the more information we’re getting that it really is a fascinating planet, from the Curiosity Rover we now know that Mars once was like a planet very much like Earth, with long salty seas, with fresh water lakes, probably with snow capped peaks and clouds and a water cycle just like we’re studying here on Earth … Something has happened to Mars, it lost its water.”
– John Grunsfeld, five time space flown astronaut, Associate Administrator Head of NASA Science Mission Directive
So, just to make this clear, this is information that is well embedded into the mainstream scientific community as well. You can view that full conference below if interested.
In the conference they discuss how something happened to the planet, but state that they don’t know what, despite the fact that they probably do, as Brandenburg’s lecture would hint. He shows how “anybody who can read a map” can see that both of the nuclear explosion sites are correlated to dump their strongest shock-waves and fallout downwind on Cydonia mesa and Galaxias Chaos, two sites on Mars that have been surrounded in controversy as possible locations of ancient archeology.
In the lecture he provides evidence for a Bronze Age type of civilization consisting of millions of people, destroyed by a massive nuclear blast.
He paints a dark portrait of an entire planet beyond change and destroyed by a nuclear massacre, and that the US government has been aware of this evidence since 1976. According to Brandenburg, the civilization was not advanced enough to create such a nuclear reaction, and therefore the blast must have been initiated by another civilization.
That being said, civilizations of Earth’s past who have constructed faces and pyramids like that which are seen on Mars (more on that in the lecture), have been labelled as primitive to us, despite the fact that many scholars believe these to be extremely advanced civilizations, which they were, with technologies beyond our own so, who knows, maybe the civilization on Mars was not subjected to annihilation by another race, but rather themselves.
What’s even more fascinating is that the Pentagon gave him permission to publish his data and put it out into the mainstream, which he did so in a book he published about it. He also discusses why he was given permission to do so in his lecture.
This all paints a scenario of a planetary nuclear massacre, according to Brandenburg. He also points out that that the US government has been aware of this evidence since 1976. Brandenburg is quite certain that the government, and his/their research, points to annihilation by another intelligent force.
I’ll leave you with this quote from the end of his lecture, that clearly points to the fact he is not sharing all that he knows.
“Secrecy within government is an evil that’s sometimes necessary, but I think it’s a good thing that this cover-up on Mars is ending, and, hopefully at some point we can sit down and have a frank conversation not about what happened on Mars 250 million years ago but what is happening right now” (56:34)
Why Is This Important?
The biggest possible implication is to look inward at ourselves, and as one human race start taking the necessary steps to ‘repair’ the planet. Perhaps some type of realization like this could bring humanity closer together in some sort of way? Perhaps our species is at a critical point in its development, and ET contact plays some sort of role in that realization? Perhaps there are too many implications to contemplate.
One thing is for certain, and that’s the fact that the idea of intelligent civilizations have been visiting our planet, and have in the past, and that this is known, is really not that far fetched. Something is definitely going on.
I go more in-depth in an article I wrote earlier about the implications of ET contact, with more info about the UFO phenomenon. You can read that here.

Visiting enthusiasts document atmospheric anomaly
MELANIE GREEN / SQUAMISH CHIEF

Alarge orb captured on video near the Stawamus Chief has excited a documentary and research crew from London, Ont.
Rob Freeman and Marcus McNabb have travelled to 11 countries and 30 cities in the past three years determined to record what is out there, after being inspired from a childhood experience.
Freeman, a senior field researcher for the Centre for the Scientific Study of Atmospheric Anomalies, said the sighting is the best footage they’ve recorded to date.
“This is such a fascinating path that we are on,” Freeman said. “Most people have no idea what’s happening in the world.”
The pair initially started out to make a documentary but McNabb now describes it as a movement.
To collect data, the crew used night imaging technology spanning the electromagnetic spectrum to see the visible and invisible, as well as a camera fondly called the “weapon of mass detection.”
When the crew arrived in Squamish on July 22, a stranger at the Britannia Mine gift shop told them special things shine on the Chief trail. “It was breathtakingly majestic,” Freeman said of the rock face.
As night fell, they entered the forest. Soon after, he said, a giant sphere of light moved across the sky and descended into the woods.
“At first we thought it was an airplane,” Freeman said. “There was absolutely no sound… then we absolutely knew it was no airplane.”
The sighting was brief, but Freeman recorded about 10 seconds after rummaging for gear.
“The trees behind the orb were all lit up,” he explained. “That means it was in front of the trees.”
They planned the trip to B.C. specifically to meet Charles Lamoureux, a Vancouver-based online skywatcher featured in local news reports.
Lamoureux documents the inexplicable phenomena, often seeing them move over Cypress and toward Horseshoe Bay. He made his own film, Nocturnal Lights, and is currently working with SFU on a paranormal program.
Orbs can vary in size, known to blink amber or white light when zipping off, he explained. On July 20, the group tracked an orb with thermal gear from Vanier Park toward the mountains.
Lamoureux suggested going to Squamish, though didn’t head out that night due to rain.
“People at the Chief have actually seen lighted orbs or spheres,” he says, citing Internet videos.
Lamoureux was disappointed to miss the sighting. He fact-checked the video the crew immediately sent, confirming it was not a plane, drone, satellite or meteor, after no such YVR documented routes were found.
The Mutual UFO Network, an international organization originating in 1969 that collects and researches data specific to sky watching, said it is incredible footage.
“This is the clearest orb video so far this year,” the spokesperson responded.
“The Chief is a sacred mountain,” Freeman said. “Lights are found in ancient spots like Peru or Norway. Whatever it is, in every single country on every single expedition, we’ve got something.”
Charles Lamoureux is a former UFO skeptic who now says he is a “true believer.” He is an avid skywatcher and amateur astronomer in Vancouver, British Columbia. He has been convinced that UFOs represent a true mystery due to the number of anomalous objects he has seen and/or captured on video. He has collected several video capture devices, including night vision and infrared, and has attached them to one device he calls a Skywatcher’s Mobile Unit (SMU).
In this interview we talk to Charles about a new documentary, Nocturnal Lights, about his skywatching and UFO research. It has just been released online, and Charles says it includes some of his best UFO videos.
Open Minds UFO Radio: Stacey Wright and Jim Mann have been running the Phoenix area chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) for over a decade. Soon after, they took over the entire state as State Director and Assistant Director. Their meetings have grown from 4 people to now over 100, regularly. They also enlisted the help of Dennis Freyermuth as a Chief Investigator, who has done a spectacular job managing UFO investigations. For their efforts, Arizona MUFON was awarded the chapter of the year at the recent MUFON Symposium. It was the first time the award has ever been given.
In this interview, we talk to Jim and Stacey about how they grew the chapter, why they decided to do it in the first place, other ways they keep their group active, and about the Phoenix Lights, the most famous UFO case in Arizona, and one of the most famous in the world.
Dear NASA, My name is Jack Davis and I would like to apply for the for the planetary protection officer job. I may be 9, but I think I would be fit for the job. One of the reasons is my sister says I am an alien. Also I have seen almost all the space and alien movies that I can see. I have also seen the show ‘Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and hope to see the movie ‘Men in Black.’ I am great at video games. I am young, so I can learn to think like an alien.
The NASA post seeks someone to protect Mother Earth when space exploration missions go into the final frontier.
“NASA maintains policies for planetary protection applicable to all space flight missions that may intentionally or unintentionally carry Earth organisms and organic constituents to the planets or other solar system bodies, and any mission employing spacecraft, which are intended to return to Earth and its biosphere with samples from extraterrestrial targets of exploration,” the job post reads.
The position has been around for decades but recently went into orbit, pardon the pun, no doubt thanks to the word “extraterrestrial” in the job description. The ensuing buzz may explain why the precocious youngster from New Jersey decided to set his sights on the gig.
Dr. James L. Green, director of NASA’s planetary science division, took the time to respond:
“We are always looking for bright future scientists and engineers to help us, so I hope you will study hard and do well in school,” it read. “We hope to see you here at NASA one of these days!”
Green also worked in a little clarification about the job: “Our planetary protection officer position is really cool and is very important work. It’s about protecting Earth from tiny microbes when we bring back samples from the Moon, asteroids and Mars. It’s also about protecting other planets and moons from our germs as we responsibly explore the Solar System.”
Here are both letters, which NASA has posted on its official site:

Infamous North Texas author and world renowned JFK conspiracy theorist died in FW home

When I met Jim Marrs for the first time he agreed to talk about one of his favorite subjects.
"Yeah, think it happened," he said on the 120th anniversary of the alien incident of 1897 in the North Texas town of Aurora. It's the infamous tale of an alien spaceship that allegedly crashed in the town north of Fort Worth and whose occupant was given a "good Christian burial" in the town cemetery.
Decades later Marrs and a colleague took a metal detector to the grave and found readings for possible metal fragments. But the next day the readings disappeared.
"He said I think it was the government and I said I think you're right," Marrs said with a laugh.
"The personification of a good Texas man. Honest as the day is long," said former Fort Worth Star Telegram colleague Donna Darovich. “If you looked up character in the dictionary it would say Jim Marrs. He was the personification of a character."
Marrs was a long-time reporter for the Fort Worth Star Telegram. He was also the author of a dozen books including Alien Agenda and the book Crossfire - The Plot that Killed Kennedy. The conspiracy narrative became much of the motivation for the Hollywood movie by Oliver Stone.
"Jim was one of the first people to find his niche and stuck to it and found a great audience," said Fort Worth Star Telegram columnist Bud Kennedy. "What I admire about Jim is that I don't really believe everything he wrote but I believe he knew how to sell books."
Jim Marrs died of a heart attack last week at the age of 73. Tributes poured in over social media over the weekend from across the world.
"I can't think of him as not being vibrant and alive somewhere in the cosmos," said Linda Moulton Howe, an investigative reporter in Albuquerque, New Mexico who became friends with Marrs at multiple conferences across the country. She admired him for his dogged determination to get government officials to answer long-standing questions and conspiracies.
"Jim Marrs' 12 books have helped open up minds to facts that were contradictory to US policies of denial. His work I think will live on and on because that is all that Jim Marrs wanted to do - find out the truth and report it in the face of political agendas, policies of denials and lies."
"I believe in a God," Jim Marrs told me in our conversation about aliens and UFO's. "But, I know there are UFO's," he laughed.
"A wild and wacky guy but a really sweet good ole Texas boy," said Darovich.
A good ole Texas boy, journalist, and author whose influence and who's countless questions live on.
Open Minds UFO Radio: Earl Grey Anderson is a musician who investigates UFOs. In music, he has worked as a guitarists, vocalist, singer and songwriter. When it comes to UFOs, he holds several positions with the Mutual UFO Network. He is Assistant State Director for Southern California, Chief Field Investigator, and a member of MUFON’s STAR Team.
Earl Grey is a also a listener of Open Minds UFO Radio and active member in the Open Minds UFO News Facebook group. HIs name has come up on the show and on OpenMinds.tv several times in relation to UFO sightings in California, so we decided we might as well bring him on as a guest. It is a good thing we did too, because he is even more interesting than we thought. In this episode, among other things, we discuss how Earl Great got into this field, his mother’s incredible relation to the phenomenon, and how Earl Grey got his name.
His name was Sanakhat or Sa-Nakhat and he reigned for about 18 years as an Egyptian pharaoh in the Third Dynasty during the Old Kingdom, starting around 2650 BCE. His remains were found in 1901 in a tomb, not a pyramid, near Beit Khallaf in upper Egypt, the location of a number of Third Dynasty tombs. Not much else was known about Sanakhat until a recent study took another look at his skull and bones and determined that he not only ruled over but also towered over his subjects because he was … a giant!
The report in the August issue of The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology opens with the usual caveat that the term ‘giant’ is relative to the size of everyone else living at the time, but Sanakhat’s size was unusual in a number of ways. Led by Francesco M. Galassi, from the University of Zurich, researchers took a number of new and detailed measurements of Sanakht’s skeletal remains, extrapolated his probable size and compared it to known data on the size of the average Egyptian 4,700 years ago.

What they found was big. Sanakht was at least 187 cm or 6 foot 1 inches tall. That would make him a small NBA player today but a giant among his fellow, albeit non-royal, Egyptians who averaged about 162.5 cm or 5 foot 4 inches. That huge height difference is much more than what could be attributed to the royals eating better than the commoners, so the researchers concluded that Sanakht was a true Egyptian giant. And not just any giant. Based on archeological records, Sanakht was taller than any known Egyptian pharaoh before or after him.
What made Sanakht a giant? Before anyone starts shouting “Alien!”, the researchers anticipated the question. They found that his bones showed “signs of exuberant growth” but his skull did not. Today, those are indicators of gigantism, a hormonal condition that results in abnormal and excessive growth in young children (if the growth occurs in adulthood, it’s known as acromegaly) and is generally caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland. While today it can be treated if identified early, that obviously wasn’t the case in 2650 BCE.

That date — 2650 BCE – is significant because it makes Sanakht the oldest known case of gigantism … if it’s really Sanakht. While the remains were found in an elite tomb in an area known for having tombs from the Third Dynasty, there’s little to identify these as Sanakht. Also, the giant size of the skeleton is unique among other short-statured Third Dynasty rulers he would have been related to. The tomb contained nothing more that would show Sanakht’s actual dates of ruling nor his place in the dynastic line.
Whether the remains are Sanakht or some other elite individual, the discovery is important because it dates the condition of gigantism further back in history – potentially explaining many other stories of giants – and it shows that, in a culture that preferred short people and revered dwarfs, a giant was also considered special.
