Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    NASA staat voor Never A Straight Answer. Sergeant-majoor is woest dat de overheid dit voor ons achterhoudt

    In 1964 wisten we al dat er tenminste vier verschillende groepen waren die naar de aarde kwamen, ons in de gaten hielden en die ons bestudeerden.

    Men concludeerde dat ze geen bedreiging vormden omdat ze meerdere keren hadden laten zien dat ze over ongelooflijk geavanceerde technologieën beschikten.

    Als ze vijandig of kwaadaardig waren, zouden we weerloos zijn geweest. Als ze kwade bedoelingen hadden, zou het al lang over zijn geweest voor ons.

    Hoogste niveau

    Dit zijn de woorden van de Amerikaan Robert (Bob) Dean, die 28 jaar in het leger diende en zich opwerkte tot sergeant-majoor eerste klas.

    Tijdens een interview met zender RT sprak de Canadese oud-minister van Defensie Paul Hellyer ook over vier buitenaardse soorten die de aarde al duizenden jaren bezoeken.

    In andere landen wordt eveneens op het hoogste niveau onderzoek gedaan naar dit fenomeen.

    Serieus

    Op de website van de CIA staat een document dat laat zien hoe de spionagedienst informatie verzamelde over een samenwerkingsverband tussen de Sovjet-Unie en China.

    Bijna 20 jaar geleden besloten wetenschappers uit beide landen gezamenlijk onderzoek te doen naar UFO’s.

    Het gaat hier opnieuw om een document waaruit blijkt hoe serieus overheden in het verleden onderzoek hebben gedaan naar dit fenomeen.

    Ufologen uit de twee landen kwamen bijeen in de stad Dalnegorsk. De specialisten wisselden videomateriaal en foto’s uit en werkten aan een programma om incidenten te onderzoeken.

    Never A Straight Answer

    “Dames en heren, mijn overheid, de NASA, wat volgens veel Amerikanen staat voor Never A Straight Answer (nooit een eerlijk antwoord), vernietigde 40 filmrolletjes van het Apolloprogramma – de vlucht naar de maan, de vlucht rond de maan, de maanlandingen en de maanwandelingen,” zei Dean.

    “Ze vernietigden 40 filmrolletjes,” benadrukte hij. “Het gaat hier om duizenden frames waarvan de zogenaamde autoriteiten niet willen dat je ze ziet. Ik ben woest.”

    Who carved the symbols and what were they trying to say?

    Martha HenriquesBy 

    Montoro stela
    The stela of Montoro is carved with dozens of peculiar symbols.Leonardo García Sanjuán and Marta Díaz-Guardamino / Antiquity 2017

    At 1.5m high and 85cm wide, the stela of Montoro is an imposing artefact. It is a stone slab covered in engravings thought to date from the Iron Age. The symbols themselves are all more or less recognisable as letters from extinct languages. But no one can read what the symbols say.

    Archaeologist Leonardo García Sanjuán of the University of Seville began studying the stela after reading a short notice on the discovery published in the Montoro Archaeological Museum newsletter. He could see that there was something unusual about it, and went out to see it with his colleague Marta Díaz-Guardamino at Southampton University in the UK.

    The slab had first been unearthed by a farmer ploughing his field in Montoro in southern Spain in 2002. He dumped it in a heap of other stones at the side of the field and thought nothing more about it. Two years later, a couple of rangers from the regional government's environmental department discovered it and noticed a series of strange markings covering one of its sides.

    The rangers took it to the local museum, where it stayed more or less undisturbed for eight years until García Sanjuán and Díaz-Guardamino came to visit in 2012. They were puzzled to find that the letters – or graphemes – just didn't make any sense.

    "It's rare to find something like this – the inscriptions on this stela cannot be read. There isn't a single script that makes sense of them," García Sanjuán told IBTimes UK.

    The majority of the symbols were easily identifiable, as they had been taken from a range of different languages. On top of this, some were arranged in a circular or spiral pattern while others were carved in no discernible order.

    "They seem to be an assorted collection of graphemes taken from different scripts and put together on this stone," García Sanjuán said.

    Deciphering the indecipherable

    So what does this strange collection of graphemes mean? To answer this, one of the key problems was first finding out how old they were. This could give the archaeologists some clue about the cultural context in which they were written.

    Straight away, the team came up against difficulties. The farmer whose field the stone came from wasn't keen to let the archaeologists start digging up parts of his land to find other contemporary artefacts they could use to estimate the stela's age.

    Montoro stela
    The stone slab stands at 1.5 metres high.Leonardo García Sanjuán and Marta Díaz-Guardamino / Antiquity 2017

    "He had only given us permission to excavate one small pit. We were not very lucky, and did not find any dating material there. So now we have to go by indirect evidence," García Sanjuán said.

    The writing includes elements of a north-eastern palaeo-Hispanic script, Graeco-Iberian script, Proto-Sinaitic and Proto-Canaanite inscriptions, epigraphic South Arabian and Phoenician scripts. People from these cultures were all more or less active in the Iberian Peninsula during the Iron Age. The engravings are estimated to have been made between the 9th and the end of the 3rd century BCE.

    The stone is remarkable for these peculiar inscriptions, said John Koch, a Celtic language and literature researcher at the University of Wales who was not involved in the research.

    "There are a lot of stelae but none of them are like this. You've got these Bronze Age ones that don't have writing on them, and that have pictures of warriors and weapons instead. Then centuries later you've got ones with writing on them - strings of signs in order, sometimes with a line below and above them as well," Koch said.

    "But this is completely different. In terms of arrangement it looks like the old warrior stelae. But it has letters and some look like the later ones that have real writing on them."

    This stone could fill an important gap in the cultural shift from the earlier pictoral carvings to the later written inscriptions. But even so, it's still not clear how the stela came to be made. Thinking about what was going on in Spain in this period led García Sanjuán and Díaz-Guardamino to two potential hypotheses about the its origin.

    Montoro stela
    The stela was found in a field by the Torre de Villaverde.Leonardo García Sanjuán and Marta Díaz-Guardamino / Antiquity 2017

    Illiterate locals or armies on the move?

    The first hypothesis was that the stela was engraved in the early Iron Age, between the 9th and 5th centuries BCE.

    "What we have here perhaps would be local people – who were very probably illiterate people – replicating on a stone the signs that they have seen of or been told about, which they probably did not understand," García Sanjuán said. "This would reflect very early contact between local people and people from outside Iberia – most likely Phoenicians coming from the eastern Mediterranean."

    The other option is that the markings were made a few hundred years after this in the late Iron Age, between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE. This was a time when the Roman Empire was expanding. The Romans defeated the Carthaginians in the second Punic war, and imperialism began to spread across Iberia.

    "If you think for a moment – in the 3rd century BCE, southern Spain was a very busy part of Europe. The Carthaginians had a very powerful kingdom," García Sanjuán said.

    The family of the well-known Carthaginian general Hannibal – the Barcas – became established in Iberia around this time with grand expansionist strategies. They wanted to control Iberia and to exploit the iron, gold and silver they expected to find there. But in doing so they upset allies of Rome, and Rome declared war on the Carthaginians in retaliation.

    Montoro stela
    The archaeologists excavated a small part of the field where the stela was found - but discovered no helpful artefacts to date the stela.Leonardo García Sanjuán and Marta Díaz-Guardamino / Antiquity 2017

    "At that time there were very big armies with thousands of people marching across Iberia. The Romans and the Carthaginians had many foreigners in their armies who were paid to fight for them."

    These people had very different ethnic backgrounds. The stone could in some sense be a mark of the diversity of some long-forgotten military unit, or it celebrates the diversity of people fighting together in an army.

    The former hypothesis – that of the illiterate locals who were imitating writing – would be the much more exciting one if it is true, said Koch.

    "These people could be trying to write something, but I don't think they succeeded. It looks more like they're getting the idea that these stelae should have letters on them. That's part of the status that writing brings," Koch said. "So this could be a way of competing culturally with literate people. They haven't quite found the way to adapt the writing to their languages yet, but they seem to be trying."

    But at this stage, with no additional evidence to put the stela in context, these hypotheses remain somewhat speculative. Until more artefacts are found, its true origin can only be imagined. But one thing remains certain – the stela is an exceptional find, and it was made in exceptional circumstances.

    "It's a very special stone. Somebody took the trouble of carving it with all these motifs and placing it somewhere. It must have been very important to the people who made it," García Sanjuán said.

    The research is published in the journal Antiquity.

    Stenen plaat uit ijzertijd stelt experts voor raadsel. Niemand weet wat deze mysterieuze symbolen betekenen

    Een stenen plaat die bedekt is met vreemde symbolen stelt wetenschappers voor een raadsel. De plaat, beter bekend als de ‘stele van Montoro’, is gevonden in een weiland in Spanje.

    Experts kunnen de symbolen maar niet ontcijferen.

    Het voorwerp dateert uit de ijzertijd en bevat onderdelen van de Spaanse, Griekse, Iberische, Kanaänitische en Zuid-Arabische taal.

    Weiland

    De stele van Montoro is 1,5 meter hoog en 85 centimeter breed. De graveringen zijn tussen de negende en derde eeuw voor Christus aangebracht, blijkt uit onderzoek dat deze maand in Antiquity is verschenen.

    De plaat werd in 2002 ontdekt door een boer die zijn weiland aan het omploegen was en langs de kant van de weg gedumpt.

    Twee jaar later werden de vreemde symbolen opgemerkt en kwam het voorwerp uit bij het archeologisch museum van Montoro, waar het acht jaar bleef liggen, schrijft de International Business Times.

    Onleesbaar

    In 2012 analyseerde Garcia Sanjuan van de Universiteit van Sevilla de plaat. Hij kwam tot de ontdekking dat de symbolen zijn afgeleid van verschillende talen.

    “De inscripties op deze stele zijn onleesbaar,” zei hij. “Er is geen enkel schrift waar je dit mee kunt vergelijken.”

    Mysterie

    Hij sprak van een zeldzame vondst. Tot er meer voorwerpen worden gevonden blijft de plaat waarschijnlijk een mysterie.

    “Het [voorwerp] moet erg belangrijk zijn geweest voor de mensen die dit hebben gemaakt,” zei dr. Sanjuan.

    'I ATTRACT UFOs' Man snaps 'perfect flying saucer' and multiple mysterious objects

    A MAN believes he could be a magnet of UFOs after photographing scores of them in remote locations for several decades.

    Pierre Beake has captured several images of mystery objects which appear to look like a classic flying saucer, floating rocks, and a number of orbs or strange lights which appeared in his native France and the south west of England.

    Mr Beake has spent years photographing the rocky Col de Vence area near Nice in the south of France, which is reportedly the scene of many paranormal events, in the hope of obtaining evidence of UFOs.

    The majority of his bizarre photographs have been taken there.

    Mr Beake produced his album of images at the 27th annual Glastonbury Symposium, an annual conference dedicated to the paranormal, conspiracy theories, alternative thought, and new age philosophies.

    The 'mysterious lights' that were snapped in the 1970s.

    He told the symposium: "It is one hour from Nice. It is a rocky place where you get a strange feeling. I go once a week to Col de Vence. Why there are so many paranormal things there I do not know."

    Referring to one image of what appeared to be a number of lights above the rocks, he said: "People saw those lights above the mountain. There was no noise and they moved so slowly."

    He said it happened in the 1970s and had never happened again.

    He said: "It was very rare and can't be army helicopters, because you would have heard them.

    Two separate 'flying rocks' snapped by Pierre Beake in France.

    "There was a big ball of light which moved backwards and disappeared. It is unsolved and there can be no explanation."

    Other pictures he showed appeared to show huge glowing orbs with a tail.

    He has also captured what appeared to be flying rocks.

    Turning to another image, he said: "We took this and did not see anything while making the film.

    "A cloud was just passing in front and there was this thing in the sky which was enormous.

    Pierre Beake claims these are orbs with tails that he snapped.

    "It looked like a stone or rock, they are part of the Col de Vence mystery."

    He has also snapped a number of weird orbs, lights and apparent UFOs while exploring crop circle hotspots in the south west of England.

    He said: "Some people say they have been here for 10 years and got nothing on camera.

    "I can't help them, and do not have the solution, but some people say I just must attract them."

    Make Your Own Space Jams With the Sounds of the TRAPPIST-1 System

    Image: System Sounds

    If you, like me, are an overly sweaty nerd with no musical ability who has always dreamed of being a less sweaty nerd with some musical ability, now’s your chance: a team of astronomers and musicians have created a program that allows you make songs with the sounds of planets orbiting the ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. While their program won’t make you less prone to perspiration, you will definitely have something that can rightfully be called a work of art.

    The player is part of a bigger program, aptly called System Sounds, which is the brainchild of a group of astronomers who’ve been studying the “resonant chain” of the TRAPPIST-1 star’s seven Earth-sized exoplanets, which were announced to the world back in February. A resonant chain describes how the alien planets’ gravitational tugs work together to keep them all in stable and circular orbits around each other and their host star. As astronomer Dan Tamayo explained to Gizmodo back in May, TRAPPIST-1 represents the longest resonant chain “that has ever been discovered in a planetary system.”

    The Creators

    THE CREATORS : Andrew Santaguida , Matt Russo and  Dan Tamayo

    According to the astronomers, the TRAPPIST-1 system’s resonant chain is mathematically quite eloquent, as the planets seem to conduct their own symphony within the system.

    “Seven Earth-sized planets around a nearby star is enough to get anyone excited, especially when several of them have the potential to support liquid water,” System Sounds co-creator Matt Russo, a postdoctoral researcher at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, told Gizmodo. “But what makes TRAPPIST-1 really remarkable is that all seven of its planets are locked in a resonant chain, where the lengths of the planet’s years form simple whole number ratios with each other. This is what’s responsible for both the system’s harmony and its rhythm.”

    The researchers created their own software to “translate” data from NASA’s K2 mission, which measured the orbital periods of the planets, into musical notes (here it is on GitHub, ya nerds). Users can speed up or slow down the tempo and/or volume to their liking using handy toggle tools in the new program.

    “We simply sped up the motion of TRAPPIST-1's seven planets until their orbital frequencies produced musical notes,” Russo explained. “To make them a little more familiar we played these notes on a piano, once per orbit. To showcase more of the rhythmic structure, we then let a drum play for every time two neighboring planets are at their closest. This is when they give each other a gravitational tug and keep themselves locked in this stable pattern.”

    While you can’t add vocals within the program, nothing’s stopping you from throwing your own spin on a sick TRAPPIST-1 beat. Maybe there’s been a space DJ living inside you all along—now’s your chance to let it out.

    Alien breakthrough as scientists make MASSIVE leap in hunt for extraterrestrial life

    SPACE boffins have made a key discovery in the search for extraterrestrial life.

    By Charlotte Ikonen 

    Brit astronomers are probing two new "super-Earth" planets in the hunt for life in our universe.

    They are among four newly discovered planets orbiting Tau Ceti – the nearest Sun-like star to Earth, 12 light years away.

    Scientists believe two of the planets are located in an area that is not too cold or hot to support liquid surface water – vital for sustaining alien life.

    The discovery was made by observing wobbles in the movement of the star, caused by orbiting planets.

    BREAKTHROUGH: Two potentially habitable "super-Earths" have been discovered

    As a planet orbits, it causes its parent star to wobble by a tiny degree.

    Astronomers can see the signature of this effect in the star’s light.

    "We're getting tantalisingly close to observing the correct limits required for detecting Earth-like planets”, said lead researcher Dr Fabo Feng, from the University of Hertfordshire.

    "Our detection of such weak wobbles is a milestone in the search for Earth analogues and the understanding of the Earth's habitability through comparison with these."

    Stars the size of the Sun are the best targets for finding habitable Earth-seized planets.

    Tau Ceti is similar to our Sun in size and brightness, and like our Sun hosts a multi-planet system.

    Scientists hope that direct imaging of the two outer planets could show them to be rocky and habitable.

    But, they did warn that a massive disc of debris around the star could be bombarding them with asteroids and comets, reducing their habitability.

    Co-author Dr Mikko Tuomi, also from the University of Hertfordshire, said improved techniques were making it easier to distinguish between light signals caused by the presence of planets and stellar activity.

    Two Tau Ceti signals previously identified in 2013 are now known not to have a planetary origin.

    "But no matter how we look at the star, there seems to be at least four rocky planets orbiting it," Dr Tuomi said.

    "We're slowly learning to tell the difference between wobbles caused by planets and those caused by stellar active surface.

    "This enabled us to verify the existence of the two outer, potentially habitable, planets in the system."

    The discovery comes as NASA offered an up-close look at the Trappist-1 exoplanets – believed to be key in the hunt for life.

    They are also considering launching the Titan Mare Explorer, which would probe the world in a bid to find aliens.

    It would take seven years to reach the moon of Saturn and spend six months on the surface looking for proof of life.

    And in June, the space agency said it had discovered more than 200 new planets – 10 of which were the right size and temperature to sustain life.

    Physicists Say They’ve Figured out How Spacecraft Could Make It Through a Wormhole

    Science Photo Library
    IN BRIEF
    A new paper asserts that a physical body might be able to pass through a wormhole in spite of the extreme tidal forces that are at play.

    A physical object, such as a person or a spacecraft, could theoretically make it through a wormhole in the centre of a black hole, and maybe even access another universe on the other side, physicists have suggested.

    In what looks like the logical extension of the plot of Interstellar – where astronauts try to hunt down another universe after the catastrophic effects of climate change destroy Earth – physicists have modelled what would happen to a chair, a scientist, and a spacecraft, if each one ended up inside the spherical wormhole of a black hole.

    “What we did was to reconsider a fundamental question on the relation between the gravity and the underlying structure of space-time,” said one of the team, Diego Rubiera-Garcia from the University of Lisbon in Portugal.

    “In practical terms, we dropped one assumption that holds in general relativity, but there is no a priori reason for it to hold in extensions of this theory.”

    So let’s take a step back first, and go through some of the basics. According to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, at the centre of a black hole lies a singularity – the point at which the forces of gravity are at their most intense, and time and space effectively end.

    Watch: What are Wormholes?

    If an object approaches the event horizon, it would be crushed in one direction, and stretched in another, thanks to the extreme tidal forces of gravity at play inside a black hole. If the object stays intact long enough to make it to the centre of a black hole, it will be infinitely long and thin: basically, it’s been spaghettified beyond recognition.

    Physicists have been playing around with the assumption of a singularity in the centre of a black hole for years, because until we can actually prove it exists, there could be any number of possibilities that still work – in theory.

    Earlier this year, physicists from the University of Cambridge in the UK argued that there’s no reason why a singularity necessarily has to be on the inside of a black hole. They suggest that in a universe with five or more dimensions – which isn’t out of the question for us – a ‘naked’ singularly could exist, which is not bound by an event horizon.

    Of course, this would mean big, huge things for our current understanding of how the laws of physics govern our Universe, because it basically needs Einstein’s theory of general relativity to be wrong.

    “If naked singularities exist, general relativity breaks down,” said one of the team, Saran Tunyasuvunakool, back in January. “And if general relativity breaks down, it would throw everything upside down, because it would no longer have any predictive power – it could no longer be considered as a standalone theory to explain the Universe.”

    If you feel you are in a black hole, don’t give up. There’s a way out.

    Einstein being wrong isn’t out of the question, either. Stephen Hawking has been battling for decades with the way general relativity appears to clash with quantum mechanics in black holes – a problem known as the information paradox.

    So assuming that the stipulations of general relativity aren’t set in stone, the new study from Rubiera-Garcia’s team argue that if you remove singularity from a black hole, what you get in the centre instead is a finite-sized wormhole.

    Then, they figured out what could happen if various objects – a chair, a scientist, and a spacecraft – made it beyond the event horizon and into the wormhole. These objects are referred to as ‘observers’.

    They modelled these observers as an aggregation of points connected by physical or chemical interactions that hold everything together as the object travels along a geodesic line. A geodesic line is simply the path in spacetime that a free-falling object follows.

    “Each particle of the observer follows a geodesic line determined by the gravitational field,” says Rubiera-Garcia. “Each geodesic feels a slightly different gravitational force, but the interactions among the constituents of the body could nonetheless sustain the body.”

    Publishing in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, the researchers demonstrate this by showing how the time spent by a light ray in a round trip between two parts of the body is always finite.

    This means that finite forces, no matter how strong, could compensate for the impact of the gravitational field near and inside the wormhole on a physical body travelling through it.

    “Thus, different parts of the body will still establish physical or chemical interactions and, consequently, cause and effect still apply all the way across the throat of the wormhole,” they explain.

    So while the theory of general relativity predicts that an object approaching a black hole will be crushed along one direction and stretched along another infinitely, if we assume that the centre of a black hole is a wormhole with a finite radius, the object can only be crushed just as much as the size of the wormhole.

    This means according to Rubiera-Garcia’s hypothesis, an object could survive a journey through a wormhole and make it out the other side – and potentially to another universe – technically intact, but it would be crushed to the size of the finite wormhole. At least it’s not completely destroyed, right?

    “For a theoretical physicist, the suffering of observers is admissible (one might even consider it part of an experimentalist’s job) but their total destruction is not,” Rubiera-Garcia and his team quip in an opinion piece.

    Until we figure out how to actually see a black hole, all of this is going to remain well and truly in the realm of pure hypotheticals. But we’re beginning to see how black holes might not be the horrible, existence-obliterating death traps we thought they were.

    As Hawking said at a conference back in August 2015 about his solution to the information paradox: “The message of this lecture is that black holes ain’t as black as they are painted. They are not the eternal prisons they were once thought. … If you feel you are in a black hole, don’t give up. There’s a way out.”

    Hey neighbors! Nearest sun-like star hosts 4 Earth-sized planets

    Tau Ceti has been a staple of science fiction for decades. Now we know a little more about the real worlds around the bright star.

    Last year we learned the nearest star beyond our sun has a planet about the size of Earth, but it's very different than our solar system and not an ideal candidate for finding alien life.

    So what about the closest star that would actually remind us of our own beloved sun? We now know that it probably hosts a handful of Earth-like planets, including a pair that might be able to support life.

    Tau Ceti is the center of the nearest solar system that's similar to ours, an assumption made stronger by the discovery of four rocky super-Earths orbiting the star just 12 light years away. 

    tau-ceti-410

    A comparison of the rocky planets around Tau Ceti and our sun.

    Fabo Feng

    Two of the four planets are in the habitable zone around the star where temperatures could be just right for liquid water, and perhaps alien life, to be present. 

    An international team of scientists devised a new, more accurate and sensitive method of detecting planets by looking for "wobbles" in the star's movement caused by the minute gravitational tug of orbiting planets, while also better ruling out false positives coming from activity on the star itself.

    "But no matter how we look at the star, there seem to be at least four rocky planets orbiting it," said Mikko Tuomi of the University of Hertfordshire, in a release. "We are slowly learning to tell the difference between wobbles caused by planets and those caused by stellar active surface. This enabled us to essentially verify the existence of the two outer, potentially habitable planets in the system."  

    Tuomi is one of the co-authors on a paper detailing the discovery, which has been accepted for upcoming publication in the Astrophysical Journal.

    Tau Ceti is particularly prevalent in science fiction that imagines future civilizations visiting the relatively nearby star system. Unfortunately, the odds of life on the potentially habitable rocky planets in the system might not be great after all. A massive disc of debris around the star means that the planets are likely being bombarded by asteroids and comets, making it hard for life to emerge.

    Then again, certain life forms are known to be pretty tough, so perhaps we'll discover one day that a civilization of Tau Cetian tardigrades thrives on the system's planets.

    Exclusive Photo Showing UFOs Fly Over Crop Circles

    crop-circles-ufo
    Pierre Break says these are the orbs filmed over a Wiltshire crop circle.

    UFOs flying over farmland in Wiltshire left crop circle expert in awe. Pierre Beake claims to have captured the strange event on video shooting at speed across a renowned crop circle site. Mr Beake has spent many years researching crop circles in the south west of England and is convinced that they cannot all be the work of hoaxers. Beake’s video shows balls of light speeding across Milk Hill in Wiltshire. Beake said that this is not the first time he witnessed such thing as he also captured several alleged balls of light on still camera around crop circles.

    Crop circles are believed to be made by landing UFOs, but they have been widely considered one of the biggest paranormal hoaxes since 1991. Doug Bower and David Chorley showed how they made many of the reported crop circle patterns found across the UK. The duo demonstrated how the use of wooden planks and rope flatten corn in a circular pattern. The pair admitted that they did crop circles in the 1970s to tease locals who believed in UFOs. Since then, a lot more circle makers have made more complicated designs as if they want to outdo each other.

    However, many others refuse to believe all crop circles are human-made. Mr Beake said that when you go in a crop circle for the first time, you can’t explain the feeling. He explained that it is a great feeling and you feel nice.

    Mr Beake showed two videos. One video features a bright light in the distance flying across the field. Mr Beake said that it is windy, but the bright light stays at the same speed with the same force. Another Mr Beake’s clip shows some people in the fields of Milk Hill, near Alton Priors in Wiltshire. He stated that the shot is incredible as it shows ten individuals who went on the hill to see balls of light. Mr Beake also showed an array of pictures apparently showing balls of light above crop circles.

    This daytime UFO sighting of a cigar-shaped object happened on 15th May 2017 over Atlanta, Georgia.

    Witness report: 

    It came out of a cloud, rotating slowly and went into another cloud. I was leaving work around 6pm and as I was walking to my car on the rooftop deck this large object caught my eye. I looked up and stared in disbelief as this large greyish cylinder shaped object slowly rotated length wise and was moving very slowly from one cloud into the next. It was a bright sunny summer afternoon with lots of big clouds in the sky. The object was that dark grey color like the cloud it came from. It was moving very slowly into the next set of clouds.

    Einstein's Relativity Tested by Giant Star and Monster Black Hole

    Einstein's Relativity Tested by Giant Star and Monster Black Hole

    A giant star near the center of our galaxy hints, once again, that Albert Einstein was correct about gravity.

    A group of astronomers in Germany and the Czech Republic observed three stars in a cluster near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Using data from the Very Large Telescope in Chile, among others, the researchers tracked how the stars moved as they went around the monster black hole.

    One of the stars, called S2, showed slight deviations in its orbit that might indicate relativistic effects, scientists said. If the observations are confirmed, then it shows that Einstein's theory of general relativity holds even under extreme conditions — in gravity fields produced by objects like the galactic center's black hole, which contains the mass of 4 million suns. General relativity says that massive objects bend the space around them, causing other objects to deviate from straight lines they would follow absent any forces on them. [The Strangest Black Holes of the Universe]

    The position of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, as well as the giant star S2, are shown (inset) in this near-infrared image from the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile.The black hole's position is marked with an orange cross.

    "Most relativity tests are done with our sun and the stars, so they are in the 1-solar-mass or few-solar-mass[es] limit," Andreas Eckart, a professor of experimental physics at the University of Cologne in Germany, who led the research team, told Space.com. "Or with the [Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory] recently, that's a few 10s of solar masses." 

    The stars used in the observations are so close to the black hole that they move at 1 or 2 percent the speed of light, Eckart said, and they approach to within only about 100 times the Earth-sun distance of the black hole itself, which is quite close by galactic standards, he said. (Pluto averages about 39 times the Earth's distance from the sun, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers).

    Using orbiting bodies to show relativistic effects is not new; observations of the planet Mercury in the 19th centuryshowed that its movements deviated from what Isaac Newton's theory of gravity predicted. At first, astronomers thought they had evidence of another planet, which they dubbed Vulcan. Einstein was able to show in 1915 that relativity could explain the deviation.

    Mercury's motions proved Einstein correct, but the sun's gravity is weak compared to that of a supermassive black hole. This is why Eckart and his team set out to see if Einstein's theory held up in a more extreme environment. While gravitational lensing, the bending of light by massive objects, shows that massive objects bend space, the recent research is the first time anyone has taken precise measurements of any object orbiting so close to a black hole.

    This artist's illustration shows the orbits of three stars, including the giant star S2, around the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Scientists say the stars' orbits may show effects predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity.

    The measurement itself is not as precise as it might be, Eckart said. Future work will get a better read on the stars' positions and narrow down the result. He said one plan is to get better spectrographic measurements, which would reveal S2's movement more precisely.

    If you want a job protecting Earth from threats from outer space — or even protecting Mars from us — NASA has an opening for you — sort of. The job of planetary protection officer generated quite a bit of buzz last week, when the public learned that a role seemingly out of a science fiction novel was actually a bonafide NASA job. But the position has nothing to do with protecting Earth from little green men, but a whole lot to do with important interplanetary science.

    A primary task of the officer is to make sure that during NASA missions earthly microbes don't contaminate potentially habitable environments. And should a mission bring back samples from outer space, the officer is tasked with making sure that dust, or rocks, or whatever is brought back from outer space doesn't contaminate us.

    John Rummel, a biology professor at East Carolina University, held the position twice, first between 1990 and 1993 and again from 1998 to 2006.

    "The planetary protection job was mostly challenging in that it was not just important for each mission to do the right — required by requirements — thing, but to know why they were doing it, and why it was important to do a good job," Rummel said. "From that aspect, the job was definitely worth it. But as to 'rewards,' those were mostly internal."

    Rummel explained that the planetary protection office reports to the associate administrator for each mission, who oversees the cost of the project. That means recommendations made by the officer are often judged in the context of whether or not they will cost the administrator more money — a vexing problem many of us might easily understand from our own work experiences.

    Rummel's time as planetary protection officer coincided with the restart of NASA's Mars program.

    After the successful twin Viking landings of the 1970s, a few famous searching-for-life experiments came up empty. NASA shifted its attention to other locations in the solar system, and Mars didn't get a launch opportunity until the failed Mars Observer mission in 1992.

    A slew of missions followed, however, including the Mars Pathfinder mission that made it all the way to the surface in 1996 and deployed a mini-rover – Sojourner. Several other landing and orbiting missions followed — some successful, others not.

    Fifteen years ago, Sojourner rolled down a specially engineered ramp to leave the first ever rover tracks on Mars.

    Those missions wouldn't have been possible without the approval of the planetary protection officer, who ensured that Sojourner and other Martian spacecraft were sterile enough to prevent microbes from taking root in potentially life-friendly areas. One of Rummel's first tasks in 1990 was to look at the risk of contamination on Mars and how scientific understanding had changed since the days of the Viking missions.

    "I knew people would like to go back and land on Mars, but I also knew we didn't have current advice," Rummel said.

    So he assisted in the drafting of a 1992 report – Biological Contamination of Mars. The report concluded that a large part of the surface was "extremely inhospitable to terrestrial life" and for that reason, future missions would not need to be sterilized as much as the Viking missions.

    But changes in landing technology meant that NASA had to be extra mindful of different scenarios for its missions. Pathfinder, for example, was supposed to fall to the surface using airbags. If the airbags failed, the mission would need to withstand a fall and possible burial in the soil of up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) without exposing possible Earth microbes to the Martian environment.

    NASA has seen extensive evidence of briny water flow in recurring slope lineae, which are features that develop on the slopes of craters. Rummel, among others, speculated about recurring slope lineae as early as 2002. While researchers have long observed the formations, it was only in 2015 that NASA had strong enough evidence to say the formations are probably due to liquid water on the surface.

    Rummel warned against sending Curiosity to investigate a nearby recurring slope lineae. The materials on the rover's surface could not be thoroughly sterilized with UV radiation due to their properties. And inside the rover is a warm electronics box that could melt any ice with which the box comes into contact.

    Rummel was also part of early-stage planning for a "sample return" mission to bring pieces of Mars back to Earth, in collaboration with the French space agency CNES. While that mission never went forward, NASA has left the door open for future sample return missions. The next Mars rover, called Mars 2020, is expected to leave "caches" of interesting material behind for future missions to potentially pick up and bring back to Earth, when we presumably know a little more about how to protect ourselves.

    Of course, Mars wasn't the only target of note back in the 1990s when Rummel began his work. NASA already had a Jupiter probe — called Galileo — and was about to launch Cassini, which has now been orbiting Saturn since 2004. Those missions confirmed some intriguing Voyager mission results from the 1970s and 1980s, showing that some of the moons are icy and potentially habitable.

    Rummel remembers modifying the planetary protection plan for Galileo as evidence emerged that a liquid ocean might lie underneath Europa's icy surface.

    At the end of Galileo's mission, an option was included to deliberately crash the probe into Io or Jupiter, just in case it happened to fall into Europa, damaging a potentially habitable environment underneath the ice. Because the mission planners were uncomfortable with changing Galileo's orbit to fall into Io, they went for a Jupiter extermination — collecting science all the way down.

    NASA said the job posting has generated "a lot of excitement," including from Jack Davis a fourth grader from New Jersey and self-described "Guardian of the Galaxy." In a letter to the agency, Davis said he was fit for the job because his sister thought he was an alien, among other qualifications.

    Although the planetary protection officer is no intergalactic warrior, it's a position that clearly provokes the imagination of skywatchers young and old.

    Inside abandoned UFO village where families lived in 'spaceships' before flying saucer cabins were left to rot

    The yellow and green pods are elevated above ground, with all the amenities of a regular home designed in a circular pod

    BY 

    These creepy images show an abandoned UFO village where wacky spaceship-style homes have been left to rot and grow mouldy.

    The yellow and green flying-saucer homes are elevated above ground, with all the amenities of a regular home designed in a circular pod.

    Once filled with the hustle and bustle of family life and tourists on holiday , the homes, officially knows as Futuro houses, grew incredibly popular in the 1960s.

    Now, images from the village in the Wanli district of Taiwan show crumbling exteriors, cracked windows and mouldy carpets after decades of decay.

    The Futuro homes elevated above ground were popular with tourists in the 1960s 
    The pods were designed from lightweight material so they could be transported between various locations 
    The homes were designed to be ski cabins for tourists 
    Inside, the pods were fitted with a kitchen, bedroom, living and bathroom
     

    While considered the perfect living space by many, the spaceship homes designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen were thought to be an horrendous eye sore by others.

    The pods were originally designed as ski chalets, made from lightweight material so they could be transported between various locations.

    Resembling something from a sci-fi film, doors and windows of the alternative properties are based on the design of an aircraft and the indoor living spaces are made up of a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

    The interiors have been left to crumble away 
    A living area has become derelict inside one of the homes 
    The homes have been left to crumble away 
    Finish architect Matti Suuronen became well-known for his futuristic designs 

    But as oil prices soared, the once-fashionable homes and holiday cabins became unaffordable and were left to crumble and rot to the ground.

    Along with the Futuro homes, Matti Suuronen also designed a series of Venturo pre-fab houses.

    While Suuronen is best known for his futuristic homes, he has also designed petrol stations, kiosks, detached and terraced homes as well as public buildings.

    Study says Maricopa County home to second-most UFO sightings

    These strange lights were spotted on an October night in 2016 in the Phoenix sky. Some people believe them to be a UFO.

    Phoenix has been a famous spot for UFO sightings, especially since the Phoenix Lights event on March 13, 1997.

    That trend has continued, as people in Maricopa County reported the second-most sightings of all U.S. counties between 2001 and 2015.

    (Costa and Costa Photo)

    (Costa and Costa Photo)

    A recent UFO statistics study done by researchers Cheryl Costa and Linda Miller Costa showed Maricopa County was home to 2,523 reported sightings — the most of any county in Arizona — and more sightings than 36 states.

    Phoenix topped the list for the municipalities with the most UFOs spotted in the sky, followed by Mesa, Scottsdale and Chandler.

    Maricopa County was second to Los Angeles County, which had 3,212 sightings. That number was more than 40 states.

    Arizona came in seventh in a state ranking with 4,276 reported sightings.

    The Costas used information compiled from the databases of the National UFO Reporting Center and the Mutual UFO Network for the study.

    Poetin en Medvedev verwijzen allebei naar Men in Black. Wie zijn deze mysterieuze 'mensen'?

    Poetin en Medvedev verwijzen allebei naar Men in Black. Wie zijn deze mysterieuze ‘mensen’?

    Hij zei niet verrast te zijn dat Donald Trump de banden met Moskou nog niet heeft hersteld, net zoals Obama er niet in slaagde om Guantanamo te sluiten.

    Amerikaanse presidenten komen en gaan terwijl het politieke landschap onveranderd blijft, aldus Poetin.

    Diepe staat

    De bureaucratische machine legt een Amerikaanse president strikte beperkingen op zodra hij aan de macht komt, stelde hij.

    “Als een persoon wordt verkozen tot president komen de mensen met koffers langs,” zei Poetin. “Ze zijn net gekleed en dragen donkere pakken. Deze mensen vertellen wat er gaat gebeuren. Zo gaat het elke keer.”

    Geen enkele regering kan hieraan ontsnappen, legde de president uit. Verwees hij hiermee naar de diepe staat?

    Medvedev

    Eind 2012 deed de Russische premier Dmitri Medvedev enkele opvallende uitspraken over buitenaardse wezens in Rusland.

    Naast de lanceercodes voor de Russische kernwapens krijgt iedere president ook een dossier met de activiteiten van buitenaardsen en de speciale Russische eenheden die zich hiermee bezighouden, aldus Medvedev.

    De Russische oud-president bevestigde niet alleen dat buitenaardsen de aarde bezoeken, maar dat sommigen van hen onder ons leven.

    Men in Black

    Hij voegde toe dat de film ‘Men in Black’ meer details geeft over dit onderwerp.

    De reguliere media verwezen naar de Hollywoodfilm Men in Black en meenden dat Medvedev een grapje maakte.

    Hij verwees echter naar een documentaire die werd uitgezonden door de Russische zender REN-TV:

    UFO-onderzoekers

    Toen vorig jaar in korte tijd twee UFO-onderzoekers dood werden gevonden onder mysterieuze omstandigheden, suggereerden complottheoretici dat ze door mannen in het zwart waren gedood.

    Zij stelden dat UFO-jagers die te dicht bij de waarheid komen, worden opgejaagd door de geheime diensten of zogeheten mannen in het zwart.

    Meldingen

    Door de jaren heen zouden ‘tientallen’ andere UFO-onderzoekers onder mysterieuze omstandigheden zijn overleden.

    Vorig jaar kwamen in de VS meerdere meldingen binnen van mysterieuze mannen in zwarte jassen die in het donker langs de weg stonden en zelfs opdoken in achtertuinen.

    De vraag is nu: wie zijn deze mannen in het zwart en wat willen ze?
