When aliens arrive in the movies, they typically come from distant galaxies. Extraterrestrial life, however, could exist right here in our own solar system, nestled in briny oceans under the surface of icy worlds close to home.
Multiple moons orbiting Jupiter and Saturn have proven to hold, or once held, liquid oceans. Of these, Saturn’s moon Enceladus has emerged as the most promising candidate for life in recent years, thanks to the discovery of hydrothermal plumes gushing from beneath its frozen surface. The vents these plumes emanate from could foster an an ideal environment for the emergence of organic life, pumping in crucial compounds and energy. To find out if that might be the case, Laurie Barge travels to other worlds in her lab—here on Earth, of course.
Otherworldly Stalagmites
Barge is an astrobiologist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and she and her team have spent the last few years growing tiny mineral plumes in beakers to model conditions on different moons and planets. Just a few inches tall, the crooked spires serve as miniature simulations of much larger features—some over a hundred feet tall—found deep in the ocean. Fed by hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor and sustained by the heat they emit, whole ecosystems flourish beyond the sun’s reach in these aquatic high-rises. It’s thought that life may have actually originated around these plumes on Earth, and the same process could be playing out in the depths of Enceladus.

Hydrothermal plumes provide a crucial source of chemical energy in vast, dark oceans. Before the evolution of photosynthesis, the sun’s energy was beyond reach, and life needed alternative forms of sustenance. Near the vents, this comes in the form of ions leaching from beneath the ground and reacting in the hot environment with seawater. Each underwater plume represents a chain of reactions that yield nutrient chemicals, some of which can sustain simple lifeforms.
Hence, the mini mineral mountains in Barge’s lab. You can think of each one as a kind of alternate reality, testing out what would have happened had the oceans been more acidic, less oxygenated, hotter, colder, or any of a number of variables. Barge starts with a liquid similar in composition to the seas on Earth billions of years ago—lacking oxygen, rich in iron and carbonate—and experiments with different mixtures. She’s looking for reactions that may have led to early organisms, the crucial moment when chemical reactions became something more. By testing a range of situations, she hopes to narrow down the set of conditions that could have led to life.
“The best we can do is look back at what early Earth would have been like and then try to understand what life today tells us about the first life (the common ancestor) and then use those top-down, bottom-up approaches to figure out what kind of processes could have led to the origin,” Barge says.

Educated Guesses
Scientists are already interested in Enceladus, but there’s a catch: We don’t fully know what the oceans on Enceladus look like, and we also don’t have complete data on what’s going on beneath the surface. The Cassini mission provided some clues when it dove through some of the plumes hanging high in the atmosphere of Enceladus and detected water vapor, carbon dioxide and organic compounds. Subsequent observations confirmed that a large ocean exists beneath the ice. This is where Barge’s planet-in-a-beaker experimentscould be helpful, as they allow researchers to work through many different scenarios to find those that best fit observations. The findings will inform future missions, and the experiments can be updated accordingly once more data comes in.
Enceladus wouldn’t necessarily need to be geothermally active for these vents to exist. Some hydrothermal plumes on Earth form as a result of chemical interactions between sediments and seawater. They can reach temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and give rise to chemical reactions that could also have sparked life. Whether such vents are found on Enceladus — and what kind actually do exist there — will have to await future missions. Finding out what the seafloor on Enceladus looks like would be a big help, Barge says, as it would hint at what kinds of reactions are taking place.
Translating what she finds in the lab to the real world could take even longer still, though.
“Just because you can do something in a lab doesn’t means it’s going to be easy to detect with a planetary mission,” she says.
Huge UFO activity happens all around the globe but seems that it comes to an end because of the latestactivities. All these sightings have one common: the dropping of lights to the ground. What are these lights? Some kind of transport mechansim?
A video interview with the late Charles Forgus, a deputy sheriff of Big Springs in Howard County, Texas, emerged in June, in which he said he and his senior saw the crash site of the alleged Roswell UFO in July 1947.
Mr Forgus described in detail to a private investigator how he saw a crashed flying saucer and dead aliens being removed from it before the pair were told to leave the scene.
The account filmed in 1999 was released in the book UFOs TODAY, 70 Years of Lies, Misinformation and Government Cover-Up by Dr Irena Scott in June.
British UFO investigator Philip Mantle, who published it, says he was criticised by others in the field for releasing the video, amid claims it was a "false testimony".

UFO crash site? Charles Forgus pictured with his wife.
However, Mr Mantle says further inquiries have vindicated the release and suggested Mr Forgus was telling the truth.
Roswell has been at the heart of the UFO scene since July 1947 when the military sensationally announced in a press release it had found the remains of a crashed flying saucer in the desert nearby.
But the following day it retracted the statement, saying it was in fact a damaged US Air Force air balloon.
Witnesses later came forward to say there had been alien bodies within the "crashed craft", which along with the wreckage were then taken to a mysterious top-secret military base.
There have been claims and counter claims, including that the bodies were crash test dummies and it had been a top-secret balloon spying on the Russians.
All the confusion means it is one of the world's biggest conspiracy theories to this day.
Mr Forgus described hearing about the crash site on police radio while he and Sheriff Jess Slaughter were enroute near Roswell to pick up a prisoner.
He said the pair took a detour to view it and saw a flying saucer on the ground and mysterious bodies being removed.
Yet, another investigation by the US-based Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) concluded he may have witnessed a crash six years later involving a US Air Force training flight and nothing to do with aliens.

DEAD ALIENS? A CGI impression of the UFO crash site.
After the book was released MUFON, the world's largest UFO research group, also investigated the testimony.
Due to timescale discrepancies, it was deduced he may have seen a different crash.
It was found that Mr Slaughter, the sheriff named by Mr Forgus, was not the sheriff in 1947. He took on the role in the 1950s.
And Mr Forgus did not become deputy until 1953, records show.
Articles in the Big Springs Weekly Herald were found that had been published about Sheriff Slaughter and Deputy Forgus in 1953.
MUFON investigator Robert Spearing was not convinced Mr Forgus saw the Roswell UFO crash, but may have been at the site of a US Air Force crash in 1953.
He noted that the private investigator in 1999 never even asked Mr Forgus for a date or even year of the incident, or even the precise location, despite saying in her introduction it was the July 1947 Roswell crash.
Mr Spearing found an article in the Reno Evening Gazette dated August 28, 1953, which said 11 airmen had survived a crash in a B-50 bomber which landed wheels up on gently rolling plains 35 miles southwest of Tatum, New Mexico.
Mr Spearing said in a MUFON investigation report: "This would coincide with their westward trip shortly before they turned north to Roswell."
However, he said this crash conflicted with the account of Mr Forgus as it was not disc shaped and there were no dead bodies.
Flying Disk Press
UFO CRASH? A possible crash site near Roswell as described by Charles Forgus.
Mr Spearing speculated that the crash as reported could have been a cover story for an experimental craft crash in which people died, and that was what Mr Forgus actually saw.
He concluded: "It seems highly unlikely that Mr Forgus was forging a story from untruths.
"His time frame is off but it seems likely that he came across something unusual in the desert along with Mr Slaughter.
"It also seems more likely that the event occurred in 1953 when the US military was experimenting with Vertical Take Off Landing (VTOL) disc shaped craft some of which were 100 feet in diameter and probably piloted by one or two airmen.
I can tell you, he is not a person who would have fabricated this story.
Nephew of Charles Forgus
"This makes it unlikely that this was the Roswell crash of July 1947, so 1953 or later is the best time frame for the incident."
However, MUFON was unable to speak to any relatives of Mr Forgus.
But, after the story broke in June, Mr Mantle and Dr Scott were able to track down Mr Forgus' son, Glen Lee Forgus.
Mr Forgus junior revealed that his dad had previously talked about seeing the crash on around four or five occasions.
Mr Mantle said: "He spoke about it to Glen when Glen was young.
Flying Disk Press
UFO TRUTH? The account was revealed in book UFOs Today.
"It was Glen’s opinion that Charles thought it was the Roswell crash."
However, his son said his father didn’t talk about seeing bodies.
Mr Mantle added: "At first, he did not necessarily think it was a UFO, Glen said that at that time he may have had no idea what it was.
"Charles might have not thought about UFOs when he first saw the crash, because he hadn’t been exposed to much or even any information about UFOs.
"Later when he heard in the media about UFOs and Roswell, he thought this might have been what it was."
Mr Mantle added: "Glen also said that he thought that when Charles made the trip to Roswell that he didn’t go with Sheriff Slaughter but with a different person, who might have been another deputy.
"He could not recall the name of the person that Charles had travelled with or who was sheriff at that time.
"Thus, the crash might have happened in 1947, which was the time that Deputy Forgus recalled that it was.
"Glen said that Charles was a very straight arrow and not impressed by false knowledge. He was a no-nonsense type of person, having been in law enforcement. He had been a police officer and in the military.
"Thus the possibility exists that deputy Charles Forgus did see the crash in the time frame that he reported."
Flying Disk Press
Philip Mantle
In July a nephew of Mr Forgus had also come forward.
He said his uncle never mentioned the crash, but added: "I can tell you, he is not a person who would have fabricated this story."
Mr Mantle said: "He was very straight laced and no nonsense type of person... that's why he was in law enforcement.
"One well-known Roswell researcher simply labelled the testimony from Deputy Forgus as a lie. Now, we have information from a nephew and the son of this witness the latter of whom supports his late father’s story."

Studies over buitenzintuiglijke waarneming (Extra Sensory Perception (ESP)) worden vaak gemarginaliseerd. Dat komt niet zozeer door het ontbreken van empirisch bewijs, maar meer door het gebrek aan theoretische ondersteuning.
Buitenzintuiglijke waarneming kan door middel van de traditionele definities van perceptie en cognitie niet gemakkelijk worden begrepen.
De kwantummechanica kan wel deuren openen naar uitgebreidere ESP-modellen. Sinds het midden van de twintigste eeuw zijn experimenten uitgevoerd om de aard van ESP te onderzoeken.
Wetenschappelijk bewezen
Vandaag de dag is ESP met behulp van moderne experimentele methoden en meta-analytische technieken wetenschappelijk bewezen ondanks de conventionele neurowetenschappelijke aannames.
Parapsychologen hebben het bestaan van ESP tussen 1974 en 2008 aangetoond in 108 publicaties. Het onderzoek is gedaan in laboratoria over de hele wereld.
Waarom wordt dit belangrijke empirische bewijs niet benoemd door iedere grote nieuwszender of krant? ESP wordt om twee redenen niet geaccepteerd door de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap.
De reguliere wetenschap meent dat dergelijk empirisch bewijs niet bestaat
Hoewel wordt geaccepteerd dat er mogelijk enig bewijs bestaat, meent de reguliere wetenschap dat de experimenten niet kunnen worden herhaald
In december 2010 onthulden Patrizio E. Tressoldi en zijn collega’s in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift NeuroQuantology dat deze overtuigingen onjuist zijn, dat bewijs voor ESP wel degelijk bestaat en dat de waarnemingen herhaalbaar zijn.
Bron en het gehele paper Extrasensory Perception and Quantum Models of Cognition: Psy.unipd.it
ESP is te leren
Nu aangetoond is dat ESP gewon bestaat is het interessant om te weten dat het gewoon te leren is. Net zoals je kunt leren autorijden kun je leren om buitenzintuiglijk waar te nemen. Omdat de buitenzintuiglijke waarneming via met menselijk onderbewustzijn plaatsvindt, kun je met een hypnosesessie het vermogen om buitenzintuiglijke signalen waar te nemen activeren en verbeteren.
Michel Lejeune van Trancewerk.nl heeft een speciale hypnosesessie om ESP te activeren ontwikkeld. Hiermee zijn vele honderden mensen buitenzintuiglijk gaan waarnemen.
Onlangs maakte Lejeune een korte video over ESP en hoe iedereen het kan leren.
Het mysterie van de tweede Sfinx ontrafeld. Gaat dit boek de geschiedenis herschrijven?
Het mysterie van de tweede Sfinx ontrafeld. Gaat dit boek de geschiedenis herschrijven?
In een nieuw boek wordt geclaimd dat er een tweede Sfinx begraven ligt in Gizeh. Het boek zou weleens de geschiedenis kunnen herschrijven.
De vooraanstaande historici Gerry Cannon en Malcolm Hutton baseren zich op een theorie dat de Sfinx van Gizeh een tegenhanger had, meldt Egypt Today.
Sfinxen staan op oude afbeeldingen namelijk altijd in paren. Ze stonden voor de dualiteit, met name voor het mannelijke en het vrouwelijke.
Vreemd
Ze stonden symbool voor de overgang van de zon naar de maan. De oude Egyptenaren geloofden dat de zon door de aarde reisde en vervolgens tevoorschijn kwam als de maan, aan beide zijden bewaakt door een sfinx.
Dit maakt de Sfinx van Gizeh zo vreemd, omdat hij alleen is. De twee historici denken te weten waar de tweede Sfinx begraven ligt.
Ze vermoeden dat de vrouwelijke tegenhanger begraven ligt onder een heuvel bij één van de Piramiden van Gizeh.
Bewijs
Egyptoloog Bassam El Shammaa gelooft ook in deze theorie. Hij heeft het bouwwerk meer dan 10 jaar bestudeerd en is tot de conclusie gekomen dat een tweede Sfinx heeft bestaan, maar in de loop der jaren is vernietigd.
Hij wees er tegenover Daily News Egypt op dat de droomstele van koning Thoetmosis IV twee sfinxen toont, wat volgens hem bewijs is voor de theorie.
Ouder
Cannon en Hutton stellen ook dat de sfinxen veel ouder zijn dan wordt gedacht en dateren uit een tijd waarin het oude Egypte een tropisch klimaat kende, kort na de IJstijd.
Dit zou betekenen dat de Egyptische piramiden en sfinxen tenminste 12.500 jaar oud zijn.
The 1947 Roswell UFO incident is the godfather of alien spaceship stories and conspiracy theories in more ways than one. It’s generally regarded as the first major, heavily-publicized, alleged UFO crash encounter and, to paraphrase a famous quote from one of the Godfather movies: when you think it’s over, it keeps pulling you back in.
Last week, the infamous “alien autopsy” film supposedly depicting what happened to the dead body taken from the Roswell crash was confirmed by one of the people who released it to the public to be a fraud. The director, Spyros Melaris, said in a new one-man show in London that their story that it was a re-creation of a real film was false – there was no real alien autopsy film. Now Ray Santilli, the man who produced the fraudulent reproduction and has stuck by his claim that he saw the real film, has come forward with a photograph he claims is from the ‘actual’ autopsy. What next’s next in this soap opera? Will the evil twin of the alien return to take vengeance on those who disparage the memory of his brother?
The ‘new’ old photograph (express.uk.co)
If it’s actually from the original film, one thing Santilli has said is true – it’s quality was too poor to show anything convincingly. The grainy, blurry photo he sent to Express.uk.co is one of those “squint and say ‘alien’ three times’ types of photos that wouldn’t hold up in court, but may convince some of the wanna-believe public. The experts who reviewed the photo for the Express generally agree that it looks like a negative from the 1995 reproduction that has been altered to look deteriorated beyond use. Santilli’s story may be deteriorating beyond use as well. When asked for more details on the photograph, Santilli said “1947” and had no further comments.
Not surprisingly in this “As The Alien World Turns” soap opera, Spyros Melaris DID have something more to say to the Express:
“I will also prove that there is no real 1947 footage. There never was. Mr Santilli has called this film a restoration. There was never any real film to restore. It isn’t even a recreation. It is a work of art.”
Squint hard. Can you see it? (express.uk.co)
How will this fight between frauds end? A good soap opera would milk it for years – bringing in relatives, ex-girlfriends, hit men and more evil twins or clones. However, this one has already been going on for 50 years and the ratings are dropping rapidly. Express.uk.co hopes to get a few more episodes out of it by giving Santilli and Melaris lie detector tests, which it says both have agreed to.
Will the tests put an end to the “Alien Autopsy” story? Did Fonzie jumping over the shark on a motorcycle put an end to Happy Days?
If you want the latest news on the controversial three-fingered Peruvian possibly-alien mummies allegedly found in the Nazca desert, the place to go would be … Rome? Good guess. With the disgust that the Peruvian government, public and antiquities experts seem to have towards the Gaia.com “project” which is slowly and pay-as-you-go-ly (it’s a new word coined especially for this project) revealing its “discoveries,” and the lack of mainstream media coverage outside of Express.uk.co, UFO Today has stepped up with on-location coverage of a mummy conference held in Rome on October 1, 2017, featuring one of the “experts” from the three-fingered mummy “project.”
Paulo Paganelli was UFO Today’s reporter at the Evento Mondiale A Roma Le Incredibili Mummie Deserto Di Nazca (World Event In Rome: The Incredible Mummies Desert Of Nazca) in Rome and he sent in detailed coverage of the presentation by Konstantin Korotkov, a professor at St. Petersburg Polytechnic in Russia and the designated scholarly expert on the project.
(UFO Today)
The first portion of Korotkov’s presentation, according to Paganelli, covered details already released in the videos from Gaia.com or in subsequent interviews. He emphasized that analyses of the chemical composition of the bones in the largest of the mummies showed consistency throughout – which he said is an indication that the body was not assembled from other bodies or bones. He also reiterated the recent newsthat the first DNA analysis was done by five independent labs in the U.S., Russia and Mexico and showed that the DNA was very close, but not identical, to human. Finally, he restated his opinion that CT scans show the mummies were once living non-human beings that did not suffer from mutilations (like skull elongation) or genetic defects.
Korotkov also talked about one big non-human discovery – the objects that look like eggs in one of the females. He claimed that he’s negotiating with the “owner” of the mummies to allow him to biopsy one of the eggs. As always with these mummies, it seems strange that the “owners” – whoever they are – are so restrictive with even their own so-called team members.
Konstantin Korotkov
With that our of the way, Paganelli says that Korotkov then addressed the politics and controversies surrounding the three-fingered mummies. He claimed that the project has contacted the Peruvian government numerous times by letter and offered to let its researchers join in, but have received no response. (Maybe they should try tweets?) He seemed to be frustrated that mummy specialists will not participate but nonetheless criticize the project. (Maybe if it were free?) The mummies cannot legally be taken out of the country because the government has not identified their legal status.
That last point may cause a problem. Korotkov revealed that Russian researchers are interested in analyzing the mummies, but American scientists are not. (He’s Russian, remember?) He also says that the mummies are not being properly preserved (pictures show them being carried around using their arms as handles) and moisture is causing rapid deterioration.
The report from the Rome conference is interesting. Konstantin Korotkov is not the most credible of experts, but the bar is pretty low on the three-fingered mummy team. However, it’s good to see someone talking about them outside of Peru and independent of the rest of the Gaia.com group.
Again, kudos to UFO Today and Paulo Paganelli for covering the event.

Ancient Lake On Mars Was Hospitable Enough To Support Life
Ancient Lake On Mars Was Hospitable Enough To Support Life
By Amanda Doyle, Astobiology Magazine

An up-close view of Mars' rocky deposits by NASA's Curiosity rover shows a changing climate in the planet's ancient past that would have left the surface warm and humid enough to support liquid water — and possibly life. Evidence of an ancient lake points to the prospect of two unique habitats within its shores; the lower part of the lake was devoid of oxygen compared to an oxygen-rich upper half.
In a recent paper published in the journal Science, Redox stratification of an ancient lake in Gale crater,” Stony Brook University geoscientist Joel Hurowitz and his colleagues used more than three years of data retrieved from the rover to paint a picture of ancient conditions at Gale Crater, the lowest point in a thousand kilometers. The site, a 150-mile kilometer crater formed during an impact around 3.8 billion years ago, once flowed with rivers ending in a lake. The sedimentary rocks laid down by these rivers and onto the lakebed tell the story of how the environment changed over time.
Curiosity landed on a group of sedimentary rocks known as the Bradbury group. The rover sampled a part of this group called the Sheepbed mudstones, as well as rocks from the Murray formation at the base of the 5-kilometer high peak at the center of the crater known as Mount Sharp. Both types of rocks were deposited in the ancient lake, but the Sheepbed rocks are older and occur lower in the stratigraphic layers of rocks. Comparing the two types of rocks can lead to interesting revelations about the paleoenvironment. [Life on Mars: Exploration & Evidence]
Rocks that form at the same time in the same area can nevertheless display differences in composition and other characteristics. These different groupings are known as "facies” and the Murray formation is split into two facies. One is comprised mainly of hematite and phyllosilicate, and given the name HP, while the other is the magnetite-silicate facies, known as MS.
"The two Murray facies were probably laid down at about the same time within different parts of the lake," explained Hurowitz. "The former laid down in shallow water, and the latter in deeper water."
The near-shore HP facies have thicker layers in the rocks compared to the thin layers of the deeper water MS facies. This difference in layer thickness is because the river flowing into the lake would have slowed down and dumped some of its sedimentary material at the lake shore. The flow would then have spread into the lake and dropped finer material into the deeper parts of the lake.

The different mineralogy of the two facies was caused by the lake becoming separated into two layers. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation along with low levels of atmospheric oxygen penetrated the upper part of the lake and acted as oxidants on molecules in the water. These ions of iron (Fe2+) and manganese (Mn2+) were brought to the lake via seepage of groundwater through the lake floor.
When the UV and oxygen interacted with these, they lost electrons, meaning that they had become "oxidized." The oxidized iron and manganese precipitated into minerals — hematite and manganese oxide — that eventually made up the rocks sampled by Curiosity in the HP facies. However, the UV and oxygen didn't reach all the way to the lake floor, so the iron and manganese wasn't oxidized in the deeper part of the lake, and instead became the mineral known as magnetite, making up the MS facies.
The difference in oxidation of the two facies in the Murray formation due to differences in layers of the lake is known as redox stratification. Identifying redox stratification in the ancient lake shows that there were two completely different types of potential habitat available to any microbial life that might have been present.
The researchers also discovered that the Murray formation has a high concentration of salts, which provide clues relating to evaporation of the lake, and thus the end of the potential habitat. High salinity is a result of water evaporating and leaving salts behind. However, evaporation leaves other tell-tale signs such as desiccation cracks — similar to what you see when mud dries and cracks — and none of these signs appear in the Murray formation. This indicates that the evaporation occurred at a later period of time and that the salts seeped through layers overlying the Murray formation before becoming deposited in the Murray rocks.
"Curiosity will definitely be able to examine the rocks higher up in the stratigraphy to determine if lake evaporation influenced the rocks deposited in it," said Hurowitz. "In fact, that's exactly what the rover is doing as we speak at the area known as Vera Rubin Ridge."
Once Curiosity examines these rocks, it will be able to confirm that the salts found in the Murray formation came from a later period of evaporation, and therefore no significant evaporation occurred during the time that the Murray formation was deposited, meaning the environment would have been stable enough to support possible life forms.
The inflowing river deposits thicker material (clastics) close to the lake shore, and finer material towards the deeper part of the lake. The incoming UV and O2 oxidizes the iron and manganese in the upper part of the lake, but not the lower part of the lake. This creates what is known as redox stratification and is reflected in the different mineralogy of the two different facies of the Murray formation.

Another result of the research is evidence of climate change. The older Sheepbed formation shows very little evidence of chemical weathering compared to the Murray formation. The change to substantial chemical weathering in the younger rocks indicates that the climate likely changed from cold, arid conditions to a warm, wet one.
"The timing of this climate shift is not something we can tell for sure because we haven't seen the Sheepbed member and the Murray formation in contact with each other," said Hurowitz. "If we had, then we might be able to tell if the change in their chemical and mineralogical properties were abrupt (indicating rapid climate change) or gradual. At best, what we can say is that the rocks that we examined were likely deposited over a timespan of tens of thousands of years to as much as around 10 million years."
The cause of the climate change on Mars is still a matter of debate. If the climate changed in a short period of time, it could have been due to short-term variations or an asteroid impact. A slower change in climate could have been the result of changes in the obliquity cycle of the planet.
The climate change indicated in the rocks shows that the ancient Martian environment would have been warm and humid enough to sustain liquid water on the surface. The redox stratification of the lake as revealed by the different mineralogy in the Murray formation shows that there would have been two different environments within the lake itself. If microbial life was present on Mars at this time, the different potentially habitable niches could have encouraged diversity with anaerobic forms possibly living in the lower depths of the lake.
"I'm not sure that this was something we would have predicted if we hadn't had the opportunity to examine Gale's rock record up close and personal," adds Hurowitz.
These crop circles have been created using a technique called center-pivot irrigation.

Seen from space, these discs look more like modern art than like potatoes.
But that — plus wheat and chamomile — is what these "crop circles" likely are, according to the NASA Earth Observatory, which posted this photo of agricultural fields in Sharq El Owainat in southwest Egypt yesterday (Sept. 18). An astronaut aboard the International Space Station took the photo.
The water to grow these plants comes from an ancient body of water beneath the sand called the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System, which stretches over an 850,000-square-mile (2.2 million square kilometers) area beneath Egypt, Chad, Libya and Sudan, according to a 2013 study in the journal Environmental Science and Toxicology. It has been periodically recharged with water during glacial periods and was likely last refilled with water prior to or during the most recent glacial period, which ended about 11,700 years ago, according to a 2014 study in the journal Quaternary Research. [Photos: Mysterious Crop Circles]
To make the circles pictured, water is drawn to the surface and sprinkled onto crops through slowly spinning pipes using a process called center-pivot irrigation.
Of course, rotating, human-made sprinklers don't make all crop circles, the elaborate geometric designs that at times take the shape of spirals, other times keys and even jellyfish. The patterns could also be made using a GPSdevice programmed with a pattern along with a laser used to create a straight line between points, suggested Richard Taylor, director of the Materials Science Institute at the University of Oregon, in 2001 in the magazine Physics World.
He investigated how human artists could use microwaves to make the fanciful designs, responding to the discovery that the crops used in the patterns had been exposed to microwave radiation. Some people took that finding as evidence that aliens or the CIA created the circles. If the joints of plant stalks are exposed to microwaves, they expand, causing the plant to flop over without breaking, which matches the state of stalks found in many crop circles, Taylor told Popular Science.
Whoever made them, one thing's for sure: Crop circles are suffused with an alien beauty.
Voorzichtige aanwijzingen dat ook rond de evenaar van Mars water te vinden is
Voorzichtige aanwijzingen dat ook rond de evenaar van Mars water te vinden is

De rode planeet blijft ons verrassen..
Dat er water te vinden is op het oppervlak van de rode planeet is niets nieuws. Maar tot op heden werd aangenomen dat het zich (in bevroren toestand) louter nabij de polen ophield. Maar is dat wel zo?
Waterstof Een nieuw onderzoek – gebaseerd op data van de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter – werpt een heel nieuw licht op de zaak. Toen onderzoekers de data nog eens uitkamden, stuitten ze nabij de evenaar op onverwacht grote hoeveelheden waterstof.
Kort houdbaar Hoe is dat water daar gekomen? Eén mogelijkheid is dat het afkomstig is van de polen en via de atmosfeer op de evenaar is afgezet toen de as van Mars nog wat schuiner stond. Maar dat is al honderdduizenden jaren geleden en onderzoekers kunnen niet goed verklaren hoe dat afgezette waterijs zo lang stand heeft weten te houden nabij de evenaar. Zelfs als het ijs bedekt zou zijn met een beschermende stoflaag en een harde korst is het ondenkbaar dat het honderdduizenden jaren bewaard zou blijven.
Mysterie Met dat alles in het achterhoofd zijn onderzoekers voorzichtig: ze geven aan nog niet helemaal zeker te weten of nabij de evenaar van Mars water te vinden is. Het zou bijvoorbeeld ook om gehydrateerde zouten kunnen gaan. “Maar hoe die gehydrateerde zouten ontstaan zijn, is ook lastig te verklaren,” benadrukt onderzoeker Jack Wilson. En daarmee blijven de signalen die uit de data van MRO zijn gevist, mysterieus van aard.
Als Wilson en collega’s het bij het juiste eind hebben en er nabij de evenaar van Mars daadwerkelijk water te vinden zijn, dan is dat goed nieuws. Er liggen serieuze plannen voor de kolonisatie van de rode planeet en daarbij is elke druppel water waardevol. Het water kan niet alleen dienst doen als drinkwater, maar ook als brandstof. De aanwezigheid van dergelijke cruciale grondstoffen is van groot belang: want wat op Mars is, hoeven we niet mee te sjouwen en hoe minder we meenemen, hoe goedkoper de lancering en dus de Marsmissie is.
Voor het eerst freon-40 ontdekt op een plek waar zeker geen aliens wonen
Voor het eerst freon-40 ontdekt op een plek waar zeker geen aliens wonen
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De ontdekking suggereert dat het molecuul niet kan helpen in de zoektocht naar buitenaards leven.
Freon-40 is een organohalogeen. Dergelijke stoffen bestaan uit halogenen (‘zoutvormers’) zoals chloor en fluor, die gebonden zijn aan koolstof en soms ook andere elementen. De verbindingen komen op aarde veelvuldig voor en kunnen op twee manieren ontstaan: door biologische processen in tal van organismen – van schimmels tot mensen – en tijdens industriële processen, zoals de productie van medicijnen.
In de interstellaire ruimte Met dat in het achterhoofd is het niet zo gek dat onderzoekers het stofje als een ‘verklikker’ van leven beschouwden: het is zo’n molecuul dat op aarde ontstaat bij de gratie van organismen. En als we het op andere planeten of manen aantreffen, is het een sterke aanwijzing dat daar ook leven is. Een logische redenering. Maar wel eentje die nu de prullenbak in kan. Onderzoekers hebben het molecuul namelijk voor het eerst daadwerkelijk in de interstellaire ruimte aangetroffen. En wel op plekken waar onmogelijk leven kan zijn.
Dubbelster en komeet Met behulp van het Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) en ESA’s kometenjager Rosetta hebben onderzoekers freon-40 ontdekt in het gas rond een jonge dubbelster én een komeet. “De ontdekking van het organohalogeen freon-40 nabij deze jonge, zonachtige sterren kwam als een verrassing,” stelt onderzoeker Edith Fayolle. “We hebben de vorming ervan simpelweg niet voorzien en waren verrast om het in zulke significante concentraties aan te treffen. Het staat nu vast dat deze moleculen zich gemakkelijk kunnen vormen in stellaire kraamkamers, wat nieuwe inzichten oplevert over de chemische evolutie van planetenstelsels, inclusief het onze.”
Op deze afbeelding zie je waar komeet 67P/C-G zich bevond toen Rosetta freon-40 detecteerde. Hetzelfde molecuul is door ALMA dus ook nabij een jonge dubbelster teruggevonden.
Afbeelding: B. Saxton (NRAO / AUI / NSF).
Onderdeel van de oersoep Freon-40 is dus geen goede biomarker (een chemische verbinding die op de aanwezigheid van leven kan wijzen). Maar het molecuul lijkt – afgaand op dit nieuwe onderzoek – wel een belangrijk bestanddeel te zijn van het materiaal waaruit planeten ontstaan. “ALMA’s ontdekking van organohalogenen in het interstellaire medium vertelt ons ook iets over de uitgangssituatie voor organische chemie op planeten,” aldus onderzoeker Karin Öberg. “Uit onze ontdekking blijkt dat organohalogenen waarschijnlijk een bestanddeel zijn van de zogeheten ‘oersoep’, zowel op de jonge aarde als op de pas gevormde rotsachtige exoplaneten.” Volgens onderzoeker Jes Jørgensen toont de ontdekking van freon-40 rond komeet 67P/C-G (de komeet die Rosetta tot oktober vorig jaar bestudeerde) aan “dat er een duidelijk verband bestaat tussen de pre-biologische chemie van verre protosterren en ons eigen zonnestelsel.”
Fayolle ziet in de studie vooral bewijs dat we eigenlijk nog nauwelijks kaas gegeten hebben van de vele elementen die op de aarde en daarbuiten te vinden zijn. “Onze resultaten laten zien dat we nog veel te leren hebben over de vorming van organohalogenen. Verdere zoekacties naar organohalogenen rond andere sterren en kometen zijn nodig om hier het fijne van te weten te komen.”

Scientists have found traces of methyl chloride around an infant star system and a comet, disproving astrobiologists who previously suggested that searching for the chemical in the atmospheres of alien worlds is an indicator of life.
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope in Chile, researchers detected the faint molecular fingerprint of methyl chloride - a chemical commonly produced by industrial and biological processes here on Earth - around an infant star system known as IRAS 16293-2422.
Traces of this organic compound were also discovered in the thin atmosphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/C-G) by the Rosetta space probe.
Methyl chloride (CH3Cl), also known as Freon-40, is one of a class of molecules known as organohalogens. This new ALMA observation is the first detection ever of a stable organohalogen in interstellar space.
The cosmic discovery of this organic compound, however, is disappointing news for astrobiologists, who previously suggested searching for methyl chloride in the atmospheres of alien worlds as a possible indicator of life.
The recent ALMA and Rosetta detections raise doubts about that proposal, however. They indicate that methyl chloride forms naturally in interstellar clouds and endures long enough to become part of a forming solar system.
IRAS 16293-2422 is a collection of several infant stars, or protostars, each about the same mass as our Sun. It is located about 400 light-years from Earth and is still surrounded by its natal cocoon of dust and gas.
Chemical found around star deals blow to search for aliens
"Finding organohalogens near these young, Sun-like stars was surprising," said Edith Fayolle, a researcher at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in the US.
"We simply didn't predict its formation and were surprised to find it in such significant concentrations," said Fayolle.
"It's clear now that these molecules form readily in stellar nurseries, providing insights into the chemical evolution of solar systems, including our own," she said.
"ALMA's discovery of organohalogens in the interstellar medium also tells us something about the starting conditions for organic chemistry on planets," said Karin Oberg, an astrochemist at CfA.
"Such chemistry is an important step toward the origins of life," said Oberg, co-author of the study.
"Based on our discovery, organohalogens are likely to be a constituent of the so-called 'primordial soup', both on the young Earth and on newly formed rocky exoplanets," she said.
Image used for representational purpose only
The researchers also note that abundant organohalogens around a young Sun-like analogue demonstrate that the organic chemicals present in the interstellar medium involves halogens, which was previously not known.
In addition, both ALMA and Rosetta detected this molecule in similar abundance ratios. Since comets are a remnant of the formation of our solar system and retain a chemical fingerprint of that era, the new observations support the idea that a young solar system can inherit the chemical make-up of its parent star-forming cloud.

Canada’s Former Defence Minister Claims UFOs exist
“Paul Hellyer former Defence Minister in Lester Pearson’s government has been a Liberal and a Conservative, has run for the leadership of both parties and founded two more, and he believes UFOs exist.”
“My role is really to say publicly for the first time that I believe that what we call unidentified flying objects are real,” he said, “. . . and that people should know more about them and some of the implications of the fact they exist and that they’ve been observing our planet for more than half a century now.” “I spoke with Paul Shishis and, he said he has never seen a UFO and he had remained unconvinced of their existence until quite recently. In fact, as Defence Minister (he is known for unifying the forces), Mr. Hellyer said, he received reports of UFO sightings but didn’t pay much attention to them. Lately, however, his reading on the subject and talking with high ranking military personnel from Canada and the United States plus other evidence has him convinced UFOs do exist. He says this has policy implications for governments, but will not reveal what he thinks they are. The most important discoveries will provide answers to questions that we do not yet know how to ask and will concern objects we have not yet imagined. Thanks to the Globe
RB-47s Reconnaissance Aircraft Chase UFOs
Investigator Hank Schuren reports that he has obtained four (Reconnaissance Bomber) RB-47 reports from Strategic Air Command reporting UFOs in 1955. On 1 June an eastbound RB-47 experienced radar contact with an with a bright unknown return on their APG-32 set for 20 minutes and the warning light flashed intermittently. The RB-47’s K- system recorded what may have been the sweep of another radar nearby. Contact was lost at 2120 Z. returning over the same route westbound the crew reported the UFO slightly east APG-32 again had a contact for thirty minutes duration at about 8,000 yards. No visual contact was made.
At 0030Z on 4 June, a westbound RB-47 experienced the electronic and visual contact with an unknown. The RB-47 gun warning light was flashing and the 5 radar had a contact at 7000 yards. Visual contact was made with a glistening silver metallic unknown that was seen low and to the rear and slightly to the right. The configuration of the unknown was obscured by contrails. The unknown aircraft broke off contact to the north with an increase in speed. The RB-47 was at 32,000 feet was flying at Mach .735. The radar and visual contact were maintained for 9 minutes.
On 7 June at 0050Z, a westbound RB-47 at 35,000 feet experienced electronic contact with an object 3,500 yards at the same altitude. The scope return was square and rectangular.
On 8 June at 2044 Z, an eastbound RB-47 flying at 30,000 feet at 450 knots experienced electronic and visual contact with an unknown aircraft. The K system radar indicated sweep from another radar. Visual contact indicates aircraft was 5 to 10000 feet higher and 7 miles behind for twenty minutes. The copilot of the RB-47 states the unknown aircraft had a fighter configuration. A contrail was observed and a second RB-47 traveling 80 miles behind the first also saw the contrail. Thanks to Hank Schuren and SAC
Data on Crashed UFOs
Artist Bill McDonald of Roswell UFO
Skywatch International, Inc reports, “.Some very interesting inferences can be drawn from the last metal sample submitted by an anonymous donor. The last sample was allegedly part of the skin or shell of the Roswell craft. There are micron thick layers of magnesium and zinc alternating with layers of bismuth, a diamagnetic element (Atomic No. 83). Eyewitness testimony, especially that of Frank Kaufmann describes the underside of the craft as tiled with an array of hexagons. The craft itself is described as shaped like a manta ray and capable of changing its shape in flight.
In the third letter from the anonymous donor of Art’s Parts, he states, “I now include the enclosed, and can only say that these scrapings came from the exterior underside of the Disc itself. It literally was a “shell-like” shielding of the Disc. Brittle and layered, almost with a prefabricated design and placing.” Bismuth has a hexagonal crystal system, but crystals are rare and imperfect for it often occurs in lamellar masses. Bismuth, atomic element 83, has a density nearly as heavy as lead. It can be located in hydrothermal veins, associated with nickel, cobalt silver, tin and uranium sulfides.
Artist Bill McDonald who made the above Roswell drawing writes, “Now that legendary Lockheed engineer and chief model kit designer for the Testor Corporation John Andrews is dead, I can announce that he personally confirmed the design connection between the Roswell Spacecraft and the Lockheed Martin Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs), spy planes, Joint Strike Fighters, and Space Shuttles. Andrews was a close personal friend of “Skunk Works” CEO Ben Rich and the man famous for the F-117 Nighthawk “Stealth” fighter, (shown here) its “half-pint” prototype the “HAVE BLUE”, and the top Secret F-19 Stealth Interceptor.
In Eugene H. Burt’s book, “UFOs and Diamagnetism”, he discusses the Hall voltage developed across a conductor when the conductor is inserted in a magnetic field. In a few cases, one of them being Bismuth, the current may be considered positive current. It should be beneficial to determine whether there is a correlation between the observed diamagnetism in solid state physics and a positive current as determined by the Hall Effect.
Henry Wallace, a GE Engineer, patented a device for creating secondary gravitational fields. He described using spinning discs composed of bismuth which had developed a strong positive electrostatic charge.
T.T. Brown experimented with disc- shaped capacitors that were suspended and charged with high voltages. These disc- shaped capacitors accelerated toward the capacitor’s positive pole.
The Brown Effect is usually referred to as electrogravity, various objects that are highly polarized and develop high voltages tend to lose their weight and levitate. A complete theory of electrogravity has not yet been worked out. Experiments with spinning objects also show gravitationally anomalous effects. Flying saucers are surrounded by an ionizing field that levitates and propels them as well as acting as a refractive lens to divert light in stealth mode. One of the characteristics of metallic hexagonal crystals is DIAMAGNETIC BEHAVIOR. Hexagonal matrices may act as waveguides in superconductors. Burt felt that saucers developed a time-varying diamagnetic field that interacted with the earth’s magnetic field.
The Roswell flyer was definitely a craft of advanced technology, an organic technology that is able to grow an ordered structure from a crystalline matrix. Such organic technology is our next step in growing homes and vehicles that can change their shape and characteristics on command. The Roswell flyer may have become the model for a prototype US Aerospace Plane. Notice the shape of Lockheed’s X-33, a rocket-based Single Stage to Orbit (SSTO) Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV). The Lockheed Martin Skunk Works X-33 concept uses a lifting body shape coupled with an Aerospike rocket engine concept to propel the vehicle to over Mach 15. The lifting body shape could be fitted with electrogravity propulsion.
Now, compare all of the above with statements made by the late retired Lt. Col Philip Corso.
The craft was able to displace gravity through the propagation of magnetic waves controlled by shifting the magnetic poles around the craft so as to control, or vector, not a propulsion system but the repulsion force of like charges raced among themselves to figure out how the craft could retain its electric capacity. [p100]
The Air Force discovered that the entire vehicle functioned just like a giant capacitor. In other words, the craft itself stored the energy necessary to propagate the magnetic wave that elevated it, allowed it to achieve escape velocity from the earth’s gravity, and enabled it to achieve speeds of over seven thousand miles per hour. It was as if gravity was being folded around the outside of the wave that enveloped the craft. [p101]
Lt. Col Corso speculated that the Roswell crashed UFOs were time machines because they were small and did not carry food, bathroom, or rest facilities. The basic things Phil Corso said ring true.
He wrote, “The ships are empty inside – no huge engine rooms and that the grays are “conscious” robots and use a “mental-matter” or “psychotronic” command control communication system. Telepathy and that time travel is involved” http://www.1stbooks.com Corso’s
The ship is virtually empty inside – no toilets, no kitchens, no beds, and no large equipment. Everything is miniaturized, I suspect at the nanometer scale. The UFO seemed to jump from one planet to Earth, or it may have come from a Mothership, underground or under the sea.
Several extraterrestrials sit in their chairs inside the UFO in the atmosphere of Earth and place their hands on what appears to be a control panel with indentations for their hands. The UFO can interface with their consciousness and take directions from them. They tell the UFO they desire to go to Mars and in a short time, the craft is there. UFOs are frequently reported to suddenly appear in the sky or suddenly disappear. There is advanced technology aboard the craft that can read minds or pick up the instructions communicated to the autopilot.
The craft’s autopilot knows it must open up a wormhole or vortex in front of the craft to a particular planet. It then takes the extraterrestrials to their destination in less time than most airline flights. This technology has apparently been expanded upon and is used in Time Travel Jump Rooms. Many scientists claim time travel is impossible, conversely personnel from several aviation firms claim we are thirty years ahead of where you think we are and we can take ET home. If the technology exists to implant memories, all information is suspect.
There is no better way to introduce distortion than to present it through someone who is a believer. The people I have met believe the information they present and would likely pass a lie detector test. Engineers marveled at the thin amalgam of the most refined copper and purest silver they had ever seen that covered the ship’s underside. The metal was remarkable for its conductivity, as if the entire craft was an electrical circuit offering no resistance to the flow of current. Accelerating from a near stationary hover above a given spot, like a helicopter, to speeds in excess of seven thousand miles per hour in a matter of seconds? The craft itself was an electrical circuit. [p107]
That the flight suits -“flight skins” is a better description – the creatures wore were made of a substance whose atomic structure was elongated, strengthened lengthwise, so as to provide a directional flow to any current applied to it. The engineers who first discovered this were amazed at the pure conductivity of these skins, functionally like the skin of the craft itself and their obvious ability to protect the wearer while at the same time vectoring some kind of electronic field. [p108]
The debris and the spacecraft indicated that an engine didn’t somehow fall out of the craft when it crashed. A conventional engine was never there in the first place. What we found was that the craft seemed to have had the ability to store as well as conduct a vast amount of current. What if the craft itself were the engine, imparted with a steady current from another source that it stored as if it were a giant capacitor? This would be like charging the battery in an electric car [] and running it until the battery was drained. [p109&p110]
The Roswell craft was simply a capacitor that stored current that was controlled or vectored by the pilot and was able to be recharged in some way or could recharge itself with some form of built-in generator.[p110] Scientists who had gone to the Air Materiel Command at Wright Field to see the debris were speculating that the electronic potential of the Roswell craft reminded them of the German and British antigravity experiments of the 1920s and 1930s.[p110]
Tesla and a number of other European scientists had been pioneers in the conversion of circumscribed small-area antigravity fields out of electromagnetic fields.[p110]
But, what if the flying craft already carried enough electric potential and storage capacity to retain its power, just like a very advanced flying battery? Then it might have all the power it needed to propagate and vector a wave directionally by shifting its magnetic poles. If the magnetic field theory experiments carried out by engineers and electrical energy pioneers Paul Biefeld and Townsend Brown in the 1920s at the California Institute for Advanced Studies were accurately [p110] reported – and the U.S. military as well as scientific record keepers at Hoover’s young Bureau of Investigation kept very close tabs on what these engineers were doing – then the technological theory for antigravity flight existed before World War II.[p111]
The Germans did develop and had flown flying disks,[p111] If the EBEs utilized a wave-propagation technology as an antigravity drive and navigation system, then they traveled inside some form of adjustable electromagnetic wave .[p114]
Molecular alignment metallic alloys[p115] about the only possible process that could interfere with the electromagnetic field drive we suspected the aliens were using: a directed-particle energy-beam weapon that could disrupt the electromagnetic wave formation around the spacecraft and penetrate the antigravity field.[p245]
Tesla wrote about the theories behind the distortion or manipulation of a gravitational field through the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and the extraterrestrials seemed to have employed just that kind of technology for a propulsion system.[p249]
There seems to be some consistency in all of these statements that would lead us to believe that we may have some authentic information about the Roswell craft. Some of this was also supported in a document received by Tim Cooper from one of his mysterious sources. The “S” craft from Cantwheel is described here… http://209.132.68.98/documents/pdf/s-aircraft.pdf

Dragons and Reptilians an “Enigma Wrapped in a Mystery”
Tales of China’s ancient days are crammed with stories about the “sky people” and the “god-men” who came from the stars using the Earth as a base for exploration. Along the way these beings taught some of the primitive peoples they met the basics of technology, engineering, farming, and the complex structure of the universe.
In the early years of the Twentieth Century two merchants from Australia crossed central China. Upon the vast plains they found more than 100 pyramids. Locals told the two men that the pyramids were very old – some much older than China. Other younger pyramids dated to the reigns of the oldest emperors.
Those rulers often spoke of extraterrestrials and civilizations on other planets like Earth. Some of the emperors even wrote that they were the offspring, of the sons of the sky, who had landed upon Earth in iron dragons.” The “skymen” are responsible for building the oldest pyramids.
Draco is a constellation in the far northern sky. Its name is Latin for dragon. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations today. The north pole of the ecliptic is in Draco.[1] Draco is circumpolar (that is, never setting), and can be seen all year from northern latitudes.
Many cultures claim aliens came from the Draco Constellation who also happen to be Reptilian in shape and not too different in appearance to a dragon. Cultures from all over the world claim contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations. I suggest there is real evidence in many museums showing alien gods such as these images that reveals secrets for which a small number of us understand.
Although most people think there is life in the universe in some of the newly found planets, the Ancient Anunnaki were nearly always represented in a humanoid form. However, numerous traits indicate clear differences between the Anunnaki and ordinary humans. The facial features of the Ancient Anunnaki gods were often well-hidden thanks to the large beards, and even though their facial features indicate a clear similarity with humans, there are many aspects that have led numerous researchers to suspect there is something off with the depictions of the Anunnaki Gods. Many believe that there is a clear connection between the Ancient Anunnaki and representations of Reptilian beings on Earth.
Anunnaki Gods.
Interestingly, the word used to describe the ancient Anunnaki in ancient Mesopotamia was SIR, which translated means ‘dragon’ or ‘big serpent’. But there are quite a few details which hint towards a Reptilian origin of the Anunnaki, beyond the symbolism of the snake or dragon.
Modern-day Iraq, in the Zagros Mountains at the archeological site of Jarmo, researchers discovered a proto-Neolithic community which vanished. Excavations revealed that Jarmo was an agricultural community dating back to 7090 BC years ago that developed some of the earliest pottery and agriculture. .
Among the thousands of mysterious artifacts and Sumerian statues of the gods found on site, researchers discovered numerous representations of The Mother Goddess of Fertility’ who is holding a baby. Sumerians claim the Anunnaki made humans or mated with early hominids. The only thing off here is the fact that the statues of
‘The Mother Goddess of Fertility’ show an anthropomorphic body, the heads of the statues are not human. Both male and female figurines display lizard-like characteristics: Elongated faces, elongated skulls, large oval-shaped eyes, and broad shoulders. Science claims humans allegedly evolved from the Rhesus Monkey but 15% of humans have RH Negative Blood Types and are not related to monkeys. There is indication some humans may be related to these alien life forms.
University Study: Planets Are Warming In Same Way as Earth
Man-made global warming is a misleading hoax according to a new study by planetary scientists at Penn State University that proves other planets in our solar system experience the same temperature peaks and troughs as Earth.
Climate change is natural and it happens on Mars and other solar system planets, despite the lack of humans on those planets to directly cause the temperature changes. Our planet is far from unique in experiencing temperature changes over time. The university study goes as far as saying that gas-fueled climate activities and greenhouse gasses have scarred Mars in much the same way they have affected Earth. Nature World Newsreports: the new study is looking into the possibility of how gas-fuelled climate changes that resulted in the accumulation of greenhouse gasses could be the cause of some formative changes on the surface of Mars. A mosaic of images taken by Viking 1 centers on

The study led by planetary scientists suggests that carbon dioxide and hydrogen trapped in the atmosphere could have scarred the Martian surface. It has always bewildered experts how the massive canyons on Mars, during a time when the planet was frozen, formed. The canyons bear resemblance to the canyons on Earth formed by flowing liquid water.
Based on the study, Mars could have experience long warm climate cycle. These warm cycles lasted for 10 million years per interval due to Greenhouse gasses from the thick atmosphere with carbon dioxide and hydrogen. This cycle enables the formation of Martian valleys and canyons, according to a report. Thanks to Baxter DmitrySci/Environment1

UFO Sightings in the United States
Arizona Orbs
Phoenix – I was working on an AC unit on the roof of a midrise in downtown my coworker on September 28, 2017, said “What’s that when I looked I saw three orbs coming over Squaw Peak.”They were heading south and at first we thought they were helicopters that we see all the time. As they got closer we saw they were reflecting orbs that stopped and began to move west and assumed a triangle shape gaining altitude without sound. I believe they may have been faceted they way they randomly reflected lights. They began to straighten out to a linear form then precede north northwest back the way they came and disappeared into the distance total time was under 45 minutes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Sherman Oaks — The object entered earth’s atmosphere emitting s trail of fire.
On September 23, 2017, at about 10:45 in the evening in the Sherman Oaks area we saw the flying object/.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Light
Cali— I only had seen the video on my Facebook.
I wasn’t there, but it was cloudy-round like a Twister on 23 September 2017. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Objects
Asbury Park — I was on my patio and looked up to see two objects on September 16, 2017. The objects hovered then move away. Then I saw 5 more objects in the sky. Two were red and the others were white all moving in same direction. No noise was heard and they were very high up compared to jets flying in the area.
I am a pilot and was in the Navy but never have I seen objects behave like this. I am sure other people must have seen this today as well. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Saddle Brook — I saw a white ball at low altitude in the middle of the night, and planes were visible as well as the Moon on/September 28, 2017. The light of this white ball was very intense with a white aura. It moves in varied directions as well as lateral displacements. The UFO flew at very high speed, and seemed to be in a valley observation flying around the countryside. A statement to GEIPAN was made but no follow-up or contact from them. I hope that this declaration will help collective awareness. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Orange Orbs
Albany – On September 26, 2017, Hello my name is Elizabeth I just saw 3 orange orbs in the sky around 10:28 to 10:30 PM really quick.
I was outside on my farm with the horse doing night check and over the wood line I saw 3 large orange orbs in a circle and then triangular formation.
It was crazy and pretty scary being that I was far out in the woods! I didn’t get a picture, but it was bright and big. I am 15 miles south of Albany, NY.
It was kind of like the sketch that I sent. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Object
Cherokee — I just got this phone over the weekend and we went to the mountains in Cherokee on September 24, 2017. I was randomly taking bursts of photos and just now went back and realized this. I’ve been trying to figure it out but can’t, it’s almost unreal but it’s there. It’s too big to be a bird and we were traveling around 40 mph and it’s going way faster than us. If you look at the time on both pics they are both at the same time at 12:26 pm and it’s gone in the second. I just finished watching “Unacknowledged” on Netflix. l liked it but it’s scary. Usually don’t go out my way to do all this but what other explanation is there? Let me know. I only had a picture of it, but I never knew about it till today. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Lights
Cleveland— I looked out my window at 2:00 am on September 24, 2017, witnessing a bright light in the sky between openings through the leaves of a large tree in my backyard. The light was larger than any star in the sky. It was larger than any visible planet. As I watched it I noticed it was moving. With the help of the leaves, I could tell the pace of the movement more easily because it disappeared behind the leaves. It moved faster than stars in the sky, but much slower than airplanes, satellites, etc. So, I grabbed my good camera and tripod and ran to my back porch.
I found openings between leaves and branches by standing, kneeling and in between then adjusted my tripod, zoomed in 30x, and began snapping pictures. It seemed to first be moving upwards in the sky. So I would have to adjust my tripod higher up. Then it started on a slow path downward on what I believe is about 150-160 degree angle. Eventually it seemed to stop and go straight downward at a 90 degree angle for the remainder of the sighting. I ended up having my tripod go from all the way down, then all the way up, then all the way down again. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon String of Lights
Detroit Lake — I was in the mountains above Detroit Lake, taking pictures of the night sky from around 10:45 pm to 11:15 pm on August 23, 2917. After the fact, I found a light anomaly on two of my pictures, taken 10 – 15 seconds apart. Without a clear reference I cannot estimate the distance from me, but the anomaly appears to be at least hundreds of yards across. From the first picture to the second it moved to the West and slightly lower in elevation, and the far left section changed shape. The light color is yellow-white with brighter sections spaced regularly along its length. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Orb
Pittsburgh — Object appeared in the sky as my son and I were sitting outside on September 5, 2017. He seen it 1st and said “Mom, what is that”..?? !!! “It looks like Nebula”!!(Note: he and I discussed this and read about it. My son is 12) I looked up and said. “It’s definitely not the moon”… as having my phone in hand, I snapped 2 photos. I then continued to look at this object standing next to my son. He then said “Mom, it’s moving upwards… I said OMG it is!!! Then it just vanished. I cropped the 2 photos as to see closer. Oddly enough there are eyes, face… as I will add these 2 images.

Tennessee Eclipse
Sweetwater — On August 21, 2017, o observe the Total Solar Eclipse. Latitude 35.60N Longitude 84.47W. The eclipse started around 2:30 PM. I took off my eclipse glasses and started to video tape the eclipse on my cell phone. My video lasted 108 seconds (1:48). I was in a park between Monroe St, S. High St. and S. Price St watching the eclipse with my family. I was shooting through a clearing between trees. I had a clear view of the Eclipse. You can see birds flying over and you can hear me talking to my son during the video.
At about 65 seconds into the video a white dot appeared. It started moving around in different directions. It looked like it was moving toward the Earth. At the end of the video when the Sun and Moon started to separate, there was a starburst on the two sides of the eclipse. The white dot had a glow around it. Maybe the Sun was reflecting off the backside of it. The glow expanded and shows as a pink inside and a blue area around. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Note: The light may be a reflection on the lens but moves around like and object.

Blackstock — I brought a group to where I caught most of my footage it was my friend and his wife ,15 yr old nephew and 3 kids age 9,7,1 his wife hasn’t slept right since that night As I captured one that looked like an large orb on August 6, 2017, with wings the others started shouting there another one I didn’t get full pic but I got enough and it was all captured on Facebook live as I was live because I got a better view saved then if I had of just used camera because I got to record off the bright screen ,so this thing landed about 2 or 3 km to the west of our location in the gravel pits and behind a home then flew over us with no sound , everybody was freaking out . Then the next night I went back and I captured again two more just hovering over same location but I only captured a pic w my phone off of my camera monitor but it looks like the same crafts possibly So many sightings, perhaps because we’re in between two nuclear plants within 10 km; is there a connection? I’ve become my own investigator because there is really no one who cares. I went to the local police they laughed me out of the station Thanks to MUFON CMS
Denmark Pyramids
Island of Situate — On September 12, 2017, 7:20 PM my sighting occurred between Denmark and Sweden. It was still daylight and it was about 30 minutes before sundown. There is a lot of air traffic around here, but the objects were definitely not airplanes. The local bus driver and I witnessed the sighting, and we never have seen similar these before.
There were 3 objects coming from the south, and crossed over the eastern part of the island at high altitude. Number 1 turned to the east-northeast (to Sweden), number 2 continued north (to Norway). Number 3’s direction is unknown
The altitude was probably more than 8 to 10 kilometers, because number 2 was flying above some cumulus clouds. The shapes were double-pyramids. I took no photos. The objects were like silver hot-air-balloons), but balloons don’t change directions, and fly not so fast. The speed would have been 800 to 1,000 kilometers/hour (about 375 MPH). There was no sound and no trails. 50 kilometers east from here – on the Swedish coast, is the biggest Scandinavian nuclear facility. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
France Lights
Pau— I was outside staring at the stars. I saw two luminous balls that had a south-westerly north-easterly direction on September 23, 2017.
These two luminous balls passed over me at least at 2 or 3000 meters of altitude without any noise with a high speed the two balls crossed the sky in less than 30 seconds it passed before successively then they disappeared in the horizon. Ten seconds later 3 or 4 planes went in the same direction to an attitude that was substantially the same on the video that was made with my cell phone we see only one ball but there was indeed one second just a little bit less bright.

Iran Light
Mianeh, East Azerbaijan — My friend and I were watching the sky from the balcony; suddenly we noticed a kind of flying object in the sky on September 26, 2017.
It was lower than the altitude of a plane, and illuminated by white lights. Its surface was grey and. its shape was amazingly like a cone, and its vortex was much brighter.
It was moving straightly to the southeast and was nearing to the ground. We both were frightened then I just picked up my phone and took some photos that I have attached. After 15 minutes the light decreased and finally we lost the whole sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Natura, Tijuana — I was outside talking on the phone looking in the sky for no reason. 2. The ball shape object papered and kept multiplying to make a bigger ufo. Also it made a weird noise when it was multiplying but the noise only lasted for 8 seconds.
I have never seen anything like that in my entire life. 4. The UFO was multiplying from the right to the left and after when it’s completed; it started disappearing one by one. 5. I was little scared but excited, to witness some kind of alien ufo sightings.
It disappeared one by one.

Nottingham — My daughter, who lives in Nottingham, UK was looking at the evening sky late August this year 2017, she just took the photo and didn’t notice the object at the time. Later when looking at it she noticed the object to the right of the photo. It is in the sky in the early evening. I don’t think it is a reflection of any lamp inside of the bedroom on the window pane. It is a large metallic looking ring emitting a lot of light from the top. It is quite bright.

Alan tells his UFO story in his own words on how he was abducted by aliens
Alan tells his UFO story in his own words on how he was abducted by aliens
It's time: Alan Godfrey
If there is a story that has long gripped imagination it is that of the strange events that swept up serving police officer Alan Godfrey one night in November, 1980.
In the decades since then the account given - from sketches made in his pocket book to interviews given under hypnosis - Alan’s story of being abducted, subject to experiments and returned by an alien spacecraft has been one of the most documented in the world.
Alan has always said that consciously he cannot remember what happened in the segment of time he was “missing” during his night-time West vYorkshire Police shift, but what he does know and think about events that had a profound effect on his life you can soon read in his own words when his autobiography is launched with a two-day signing session at Lyall’s bookshop, Rochdale Road, Todmorden town centre, from 10am to 2pm on Saturday and Sunday, October 14 and 15.
Who Or What Were They? (£12.50), has been written with the help of leading UFOlogist and author Jenny Randles. It is also available via ebay books.
It covers Alan’s whole story, from arriving in Todmorden as a boy and including his involvment as a serving officer in the mysterious case of Zygmund Adamaski, the Polish worker from Tingley who was found dead on top of the coal heap at Todmorden Railway Station with unexplained burns to his head just months before Alan’s own experience.
“I go through everything that happened to me. The last chapter is called ‘Back to the Future’, which is me talking today about my own concusions as to what’s happened and why it’s happened,” he said. “I used to be embarrassed about it all but now I have raised thousands and thousands of pounds for charities talking about it.
“The book title has a double meaning, people assume it is aliens - but..? It needed to be told.”
It was 1993 when I was first contacted by London businessman Ray Santilli. It was l995 when Santilli’s controversial ‘Alien Autopsy Film’ was released around the world. I have covered events surrounding this film in many publications around the world and in my new book ‘ROSWELL ALIEN AUTOPSY – The Truth Behind the Film That Shocked the World’ so forgive me if I don’t cover old ground here. All the relevant details of my previous research can be located on my website at: www.beyondroswell.com.
On June 22nd 2007, I travelled by train to London to meet up with Ray Santilli and his business partner Gary Shoefield. We had a pleasant lunch together and Ray Santilli showed me some frames of film encased in a type of perspex material. Santilli claimed these were original vintage 1947 frames of film from the alien autopsy. As they came with no official seal of approval or had been authenticated by anyone they were useless.

Within a couple of days of this meeting my friend and colleague Russel Callaghan, editor of UFO DATA magazine, had a phone call from a man by the name of Spyros Melaris. This man claimed he had lead the team that faked the whole alien autopsy film. He was a magician and filmmaker and he was now ready to spill the beans. He gave Russel a run down of the who, what, why and where of the whole affair. Because of my involvement in this affair Russel was soon on the phone to me with the details. It wasn’t long before I spoke to Spyros Melaris myself and he was telling me things in great detail. During the next few weeks I had several telephone conversations with Spyros Melaris and also put him in contact with US TV producer Robert (Bob) Kiviat at his request. Spyros was considering the best way to go public with his story, he had a book planned and thought that a TV documentary might also be a good idea.
Along with my colleagues Russel Callaghan, Michael Buckley and Steve Johnston, I was one of the co-organisers of the UFO DATA annual conference. It just so happened, that the 2007 conference had a loose Roswell theme to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Roswell Incident. My colleagues and I discussed the possibility of asking Spyros Melaris to make his first public statement on this whole thing at our conference and eventually he agreed. The conference itself was held over the weekend of October 20th& 21st 2007 in Pontefract, West Yorkshire. A packed audience saw Spyros take the stage on Sunday October 21st. I had met him in person for the first time the night before at the hotel and I made loose arrangements to formally interview him at his home later in the year. As promised, Spyros took to the stage and told of his involvement in the making of the alien autopsy film. A small few members of the audience were rather upset to hear this but the vast majority were fascinated by what he had to say.

I made arrangements to visit the home of Spyros Melaris on November 16th 2007 and I drove to his house in Hertfordshire with my partner Christine. Before the formal audio-taped interview began we had lunch with Spyros and his lovely wife Anne. Over lunch Spyros showed us some of the documentary evidence he has to support his claims. This included his diary from l995, hand drawn sketches of the alien, a full list of hand painted story board images of the whole alien autopsy film, original fax messages from Kodak in the USA providing copies of l947 fill canister labels, and a large portfolio of research material. This was mainly of vintage (l940’s) US military vehicles and some vintage US military medical photographs. The interview itself lasted around two hours and we only touched the tip of the iceberg. The full interview can be located online at: http://www.outtahear.com/beyond_updates/index.html (Alien Autopsy Information section). I would like to thank my colleague Steve Johnston for transcribing this interview in full. The following is based on that interview.

Who is Spyros Melaris?
As the name might give it away Spyros was originally born in Cyprus. As a boy he was taught a magic trick by his grandfather and his love of magic was born. The other passion as a boy growing up in the UK was film making. At school he told his careers officer that he wanted to be an actor but this was discouraged. A proper job was what he should have. So a proper job he took and after leaving school became an apprentice trained motor mechanic. However, his love of magic and film making eventually won over and he eventually became a magician and a filmmaker. He now owns his own TV studio in London and makes TV shows for all the major networks in the UK and independent production companies alike. In short, in his owns words, we make programmes for “anyone who books us.”
How He Met Ray Santilli
In January 1995 he was to attend the MIDEM music industry event in Cannes, France. He was taking a film crew there and had some spare time on his hands so he sent fax messages to 4 production companies picked at random from a media directory. He basically asked them if they wanted to hire him and his crew while in Cannes. One of these happened to be the Merlin Group owned by Ray Santilli. Spyros and Ray Santilli had a few telephone conversations but did not meet and arranged to meet in Cannes. By pure chance they bumped into each other at a restaurant in Cannes and it was here that Ray Santilli fist told Spyros Melaris that he had obtained film footage of an alien. Holding back a smirk Spyros asked Santilli if he was serious and he replied he was, not only that, he wanted Spyros to make a documentary from this footage. They eventually agreed to meet at Ray Santilli’s office back in London. A few days later Spyros kept his appointment with Santilli at his office in London. Here he met an almost distraught Ray Santilli who told him he’d bought this film but it had turned out to be very poor quality. Spyros was shown what has become known as the ‘tent footage’ and he immediately recognised it as been shot on video. The tape he was shown was on VHS format. Santilli seemed surprised that he had recognised it as being shot on video so quickly and he realised the game was up. Again in Spyros’s own words “If I can’t get it past this guy, I’m not going to get it past anyone else. He realised it was game up. That’s when the meeting ended. I thought the guy’s mad. He’s trying a fast one. I thought it was over at that point.”
So How Did The Idea of a Fake Film Come About?
Melaris met up with his friend and colleague John Humphreys. Humphreys is a Royal Academy trained sculptor whose work had sometimes overlapped into film and TV special effects. Melaris and Humphreys had known each other for a long time and had worked on a number of things together in the past. Melaris simply put the idea to Humphreys, “John, do you fancy sculpting an alien?” Melaris told Humphreys of his meeting with Santilli and basically came up with the idea of making it. They talked things over from a legal point of view and how it might help them break into other projects, even Hollywood. The idea was to make it, release it to the world, and then make a second programme shortly after showing how they did it. Humphreys agreed and Melaris pitched the idea to Santilli. Santilli looked like a man reborn and agreed. The budget put forward by Melaris was about £30,000 and it was Santilli’s business partner and friend Volker Spielberg who put up the money. The funding was in place, contracts and a confidentiality agreement were signed and the ball was rolling.
The Team Behind The Making of The Film
First off there was Spyros Melaris. He designed and directed the film, instructed and paid the rest of the team, made the autopsy table along with many of the other props, he also made the ‘contamination suits’ as well as obtain the props and cameras. The main researcher behind it all was Spyros’s then girlfriend Geraldine. She was the one who checked the medical books, spoke with surgeons and pathologists and she even played the part of the nurse in the film. Geraldine is not her real name as she wishes to remain anonymous. John Humphreys of course made the alien’s bodies. The mould was actually made from John’s ten year-old son who was quite tall. As a trained sculptor Humphreys had also studied anatomy so he was the man who played the surgeon in the film. Another friend of Spyros’s was Greg Simmons. He was seen occasionally in the film in one of the contamination suits and he also played the part of the soldier in the Debris Footage. Gareth Watson, a colleague of Santilli’s and Shoefield’s was the man in the surgical mask behind the glass, and finally Spyros’s brother Peter helped behind the scenes. The set was built in Geraldine’s house in Camden in London. The property was in the process of being converted into three flats (apartments) at the time and was therefore empty. The props were obtained from someone Spyros knew in the USA. She was not told what they were for and were all ordered separately and delivered to different addresses so as not to arouse suspicion. The camera’s were obtained by Spyros; one bought and one borrowed from a friend.

Why There Are Two Separate Autopsy Films
According to Spyros the first ‘Alien Autopsy’ film went pretty much as planned. However, upon completion Geraldine noticed that a few of the medical procedures were not correct. They therefore had to make another creature and film another one. Apparently Santilli was ready for packing it all in at this point as there was no more money in the budget to film it again. They persevered and made another one at Spyros’s cost the very next day. This too was not without problems. The foam latex used to fill the dummy had not worked right and an air bubble had left a hollow space in the creature’s leg. Humphreys was despatched to the local butchers by Spyros to get a leg joint of a sheep. This was inserted into the hollow part in the alien’s right leg, a few other things were added, the outside of the leg was gently burnt with a blowtorch and hey presto, the leg wound. Some of the inner organs were manufactured by Melaris, and animal organs were also used for the alien’s innards, although altered with a scalpel and coated with latex. The alien’s brain was actually made from three sheep’s brains and part of a pig’s brain cast in gelatine. This is how there came to be two separate autopsy films one of which was shown in its entirety, while the second one made, has only ever been released in part.
The Wreckage and I-beams
These were all designed by Spyros himself. At the October 2007 UFO DATA conference Spyros showed me how he had designed the ‘writing’ on them and what it said. The wreckage was then manufactured by John Humphreys, Spyros and his brother Peter. He told me that he based it on Greek lettering, a bit of ancient Egyptian stylising and some artistic license. On the main large beams, if translated correctly, reads ‘FREEDOM’. Spyros thought this a fitting name for an alien spacecraft. While designing the letters which spell the word ‘FREEDOM’, Spyros noticed that if the word is turned upside down, the word ‘VIDEO’ could be seen. He adjusted some of the letters to better facilitate this, so the piece would throw a little red herring into the mix. The translation of the smaller beam is being held back for Spyros’s book.

The Cameraman’s Home Video Interview
According to Melaris, Ray Santilli was put under a lot of pressure by various parties to arrange an interview with the fictitious cameraman he allegedly bought the film from. Of course, according to Melaris, there was no such person, so he came up with the idea of creating this aspect of the whole affair as well. The basic scenario is that Melaris flew to Los Angeles and met up with Santilli’s partner Gary Shoefield. Melaris wanted to find an eighty year old tramp on the streets of L.A., pay him a few hundred dollars, put him in front of a camera and ask him to read from a script. Santilli and Shoefield were nervous, and not sure this would work but Spyros was confident he could pull this off, and went ahead. He found an old guy living rough on the street, offered him $500 and a night in the hotel and he duly agreed. Again, by pure chance the chap had been an actor many years ago. Melaris took his name and the name of a movie he had appeared in. These details will be released in his book. He cleaned him up, gave him a shave, and added a bit of make up and a false prosthetic nose and chin and the job was done. The man himself did not know what he was reading or where it was going to be used. There was little chance that he would see the broadcast either. No one would recognise him in a thousand years. And they never did. This film was delivered in person in New York to US TV producer Bob Kiviat by Gary Shoefield and a man claiming to be the cameraman’s son. Eventually the film in question was broadcast on TV in Japan only and from there it was copied and distributed to UFO researchers around the world. The trick worked, no one has identified the man in question, and Melaris claims he is the only one who can do this.
The Crash Site
There are a number of people who believe the alien autopsy film is authentic, not because of the film itself but because of the crash site. Ray Santilli released details, supposedly from his cameraman, as to where the incident took place in the desert. How did this come about? Well, according to Spyros this was quite simple. In l995, he flew to Roswell. Here he interviewed many local people including Loretta Proctor. Mrs. Proctor was the neighbour of rancher Mac Brazel and it was she who suggested that Mac take some of the UFO debris into town after he found it. Spyros also met and hired private pilot Rodney Corn. He asked corn to fly him over the UFO crash site, to which he replied “which one.” There are in fact at least three such sites. So, Spyros flew over all three of them, filming as he went. Rodney Corn was able to show Spyros a great deal from the air, far better than would have been possible on foot. This included small dirt roads and long forgotten landmarks. Before the interview took place Spyros also informed me that he obtained both old and new maps of the area. All of this information was handed to Ray Santilli and it was Santilli, not Spyros, who then put it all together to make a location for a nonexistent crash site.

The Grand Plan
I asked Spyros what was the grand plan. The research was done, the film was made, so what next. Apparently it was a rather simple plan. To release the film to a broadcaster, ask them to investigate and see what happens. They were confident that it would not be exposed as a fake. Then, after a few months the plan was to hold their hands up and tell all. The reason this didn’t happen was money. Spyros had signed a confidentiality agreement with Ray Santilli and Santilli was still adamant that he needed to recoup his initial investment allegedly paid for the tent footage. Santilli told Melaris that he had invested a lot of money on this film and he must recoup that before they were to go public. Santilli reminded Spyros that he was bound by the confidentiality agreement and he was not to say or do anything until Santilli said so. Apart from a cheque for about £10,000, which Spyros split with his team, no royalties were ever paid. Santilli told him that due to the fact that he had stated publicly that it was a military film, that it had simply been copied by third parties without permission and used without payment as the people who were using the film believed that the copyright was vested with the US Military and not with Santilli. Eventually time went on and Spyros just got on with life. He was constantly working on other projects with Santilli and earning a living and the alien autopsy film was all but forgotten.
Going Public

The one thing that I first asked Spyros was why was it that he had decided to go public with this information now. It was twelve years since the alien autopsy film hit the headlines. Melaris stuck to his confidentiality agreement. From a legal point of view if he broke it he could have been sued. However, in 2005 he was approached by Santilli and Shoefield to be involved in the movie version of this whole affair. He asked both if they would now tell the true story and reveal that it was all a fake but they said no, they were going to maintain that they really did have original film. Again, Santilli and Shoefield stated that there was no money in it and that they were doing it for “a bit of fun” when pressed they admitted that both Santilli and Shoefield would get paid a percentage of the profits, there was no such offer for Melaris. Melaris declined their offer. He left that meeting under the impression that the movie was not going to be made. However, the movie was made and distributed by Warner Bros and so Melaris felt that he was now able to speak as the story was now in the public domain.
The Doubters
To round off the interview I asked Spyros Melaris what he had to say to the doubters out there, those that believe the alien autopsy film is the genuine article. I’m not going to paraphrase this; instead I will use his words in full:
PM: Time’s against us, Spyros. I’ll ask one last question. There are those out there who believe in this film and Santilli 100% and they think that you’re some kind of pathological liar, playing devil’s advocate here, so please don’t be offended.
SM: No. Go ahead.
PM: What would you say if you could say one thing to the doubters out there? Is there any one thing that you can say that would say to them Spyros Melaris is who he says he is and has made this film?
SM: I don’t think that there’s any doubt that somebody made it today. That’s fair to say that somebody made the film and even Santilli said it’s a fake, but it was made from original film. I think that’s really the question. The question isn’t whether I made it because I can prove I made it. John Humphries will tell you I made it. Ray would probably tell you I made it! He couldn’t deny it. There’s too much evidence. The question is did I make it from original film? And the simple answer to that is no. There was never any original film other than the tent footage. I’ve never seen any other film. Ray maintains that he’s got original film. My question to Ray is how would that film marry with what I made? It can’t. I haven’t actually seen the film. Now you may say, “Maybe you’re lying and you did see the film and you made it.”
The story’s a bigger story if there was a real film. There would be more money in it. There wouldn’t be a reason for me and Ray to be parted. Why would we fall out? The common sense has got to come into the argument. I’m part of something as big as real film of a real alien. Why would I jeopardise being part of that and go off on my own? There’s no reason to. That’s the first thing.
The second thing. I promise you, something happened in Roswell. I’m not an easy person… I’m a sceptic. I’m not an easy person to convince. Thirty people that I talked to out there, clever people, doctors, lecturers, all sorts of people tell me they saw something. And I believe them. Something happened. A lot of ordinary people. Something happened. So, I don’t think there’s dispute about whether or not something happened in Roswell or other sightings or whether or not everything’s fake. No, I don’t think everything’s fake. I do know this is. I also know that if Ray had original film, he’d be jumping through hoops to let you test it. I’m sorry, but that’s what you would do. You would say, “Give me billions of pounds for this.” That’s what you would say. You would say, “I’ve got nothing to worry about. The cameraman doesn’t want to speak, but look at the film.” That’s what you’d do! That’s what you would do.
PM: Say no more.
[END OF INTERVIEW]
Once again I would like to reiterate that this is only part of what Spyros Melaris had to tell me. The full-unedited interview can be found in the alien autopsy section of our web site at: http://www.outtahear.com/beyond_updates/index.html.
Checking The Facts
So how do we check that what Spyros Melaris is telling us is correct? It is no easy task I can assure you. The documentary material shown to me by Spyros is intriguing but not proof positive. My colleague Mark Center in the USA checked the private pilot Rodney Corn for me and he does exist. Mark spoke to him on the phone but he has no recollection of being hired by Spyros Melaris. This could be because he was hired by Geraldine, and we are talking about an event which happened over 12 years ago.
At the UFO DATA conference in October 2007 was German researcher Michael Hesemann. Michael was also one of the speakers that weekend. Michael investigated the alien autopsy film from l995 through to l997 and believes it to be authentic. After the conference when Michael was back home in Germany he sent me an email that quite frankly left me stunned. He admitted for the first time that in l996 someone sent Michael an email telling him that Spyros Melaris was the hoaxer. Hesemann had never shared this information with anyone. I asked him what he did with it and he simply told me that he phoned Ray Santilli and asked him if he knew this man to which Santilli replied he did not. Michael told me he left it at that.
However, Spyros Melaris independently informed me that in l996 he had received a phone call from someone with a German accent asking him if he was the hoaxer and he of course denied it. He did not know who the caller was until he met Hesemann at our conference. I pressed Michael about this and eventually he admitted he did phone Spyros back in l996. Why Michael Hesemann never shared this information with anyone else is beyond me. In his defence, Michael has stated that there were others mentioned at the time and he did not want to spread false rumours, but these others names were circulated and eliminated. I have to be honest and say here and now that I cannot understand why Hesemann sat on this information and never told anyone. I leave it to you to make up your own mind.
A colleague of mine who is a veteran TV and movie special effects artist also took a look at the interview with Spyros. In his considered opinion the techniques and materials used by Melaris and his team to make the fake alien creature are 100% correct. There is no question in his mind that the dummies were made in the way described. He does have a few questions he’d like to ask, but these are purely little points of clarification and there is nothing wrong with what Melaris has had to say.
The other main person involved in all of this is of course US TV producer Bob Kiviat. Several years back my colleague Tim Mathews and I were tipped off about John Humphreys, Humphreys was part of the team and he made the dummies. Bob tried for years to get Humphreys on camera and make a TV documentary but all to no avail. Eventually, Bob did make a TV show for Channel 5 but without Humphreys in it. This was never broadcast. Both Humphreys and Melaris have spoken at length to Bob Kiviat about their involvement in this whole affair so I took the opportunity to ask Bob a few questions on December 4th 2007. This mini question and answer session is reproduced here in full:
Q: How many times did you speak with UK sculptor John Humphreys?
A: Once before the Ant & Dec movie came out. In approximately 2003. Once after that.
Q: Did Humphreys tell you on what he based the design for his alien creatures?
A: Yes, just on his own research, books and such. No other help.
Q: Did Humphreys ever see any original film, stills or otherwise?
A: No, never. He claimed it all came from his creative efforts and book research.
Q: During your conversations with Humphreys did he ever mention the name Spyros Melaris?
A: Yes. He said Spyros was the one who hired him for Santilli, who he met perhaps twice and came to the set once. All the money came through Spyros. Also, Spyros was the cameraman.
Q: Did Humphreys provide the names of anyone else involved. If yes what are those names?
A: No other names.
Q: Why was Humphreys looking to work with you on a documentary?
A: Yes, Humphreys wanted me to get him a network TV show based on his revelations that he made the autopsy footage, with Spyros acting as money man and cameraman, who he believed was working for Santilli.
Q: Was Humphreys going to tell all and sink the stories put out by Ray Santilli?
A: Yes, but until I got a commitment from a TV network and guaranteed money for his exclusive he kept much close to his chest.
Q: Did you speak to Humphreys agent/advisor?
A: Yes, his business manager was my main contact for all of 2003 and 2004, and it was he who informed me John was going to do the Ant & Dec movie, without giving me the details. There would also be a companion documentary “that would be my worst nightmare,” he said.
Q: If you did, what did he tell you about Humphreys involvement and reasons for wanting to spill the beans?
A: Instead of Humphreys spilling the beans to me, his manager clearly implied John had lost patience and saw a payday elsewhere – the movie, etc.
Q: You made a TV documentary for Channel 5 in 2006 in which I appeared, could you tell us why it was never broadcast?
Channel 5 was rushing instructions to my productions offices in L.A. from England telling me how the show needed to be styled, and they also wanted to move the airdate up to an almost impossible deadline. We were working around the clock already to appease the Channel 5 executive in charge when one of the top people at 5 actually listed the show in a TV guide of some sort. That’s when Gary Shoefield contacted 5 and falsely claimed Ray Santilli was involved in the ownership of my original Fox show, which the new 5 show was jumping off from. It was an outright fabrication, for my company has the only US copyright to the show AND THE ALIEN AUTOPSY FOOTAGE ITSELF!
While we were sorting through this false claim, we interviewed you. When the 5 executives saw you naming Humphreys as the guy who made the dummy and who was the key pro behind the footage, they wanted confirmation so they ILLEGALLY contacted Humphreys through a consulting producer. Humphreys freaked out, told them he wanted nothing to do with the 5 show and said he had to contact Warner Bros. Ultimately 5 reneged on their agreement with my distributor, my distributor did not fight for the airing, and this is how things were left. I’m still debating what course of action I can take to recover my substantial losses and damage!
Q: You have spoken on the telephone at length with Spyros Melaris. Are you convinced he is telling the truth?
A: For the most part, I can’t find any outlandish things that make his story unbelievable. But I do wonder how he could have been so naïve about the amount of money Santilli was making around the world. This part seems odd, as if he was playing dumb. On the contrary, he seems very bright. And if Ray gave him just enough work to keep him quiet afterward, I still wonder why he let all the other money go into Ray’s pocket without him demanding his share. This doesn’t add up, literally, pound for pound.
Q: You have been involved with the Alien Autopsy film since 1995, you have interviewed or spoken to most if not all the main players in it all, so what now is your conclusion?
A: I’m going to need more time to answer that question. Spryros’ actions or non actions in court will have a lot to do with this, and I’m looking into another intriguing angle that could impact my conclusions.
Robert Kiviat. End of interview.
It is clear from this brief interview with Bob Kiviat that there are slight differences between what John Humphreys says about his role in the faking of the film and what Melaris says. However, Humphreys does state quite clearly that it was Spyros Melaris who was the money man, it was Melaris who hired him on behalf of Santilli. Humphreys also confirms without any doubt that there never was any original film. It was a complete and utter fabrication.
I could go on but I think I’ve made my point. In l996, Spyros Melaris was outlined as the hoaxer to German researcher Michael Hesemann. In 2003, US TV producer Bob Kiviat spoke with UK sculptor John Humphreys who confirmed that Spyros was the man in charge and that there was no original film. In 2007, Spyros Melaris goes on the record for the first time and tells how it was all made. Well, perhaps not all. Spyros is holding back certain things for his book, which was supposed to be available in early 2008. And as for Ray Santilli, well he’s pretty quiet at the moment but I doubt if he will ever own up as he is quite simply in it too deep.
The long awaited book by Spyros Melaris ‘ALIEN AUTOPSY: The Myth Exposed’ comes with an accompanying DVD. It was originally scheduled to be released in 2008, but for a variety of reason it has been delayed with no firm date yet for its release.

According to data from the National UFO Reporting Center, UFO sightings around the world have reached an all-time high. Statistics show individuals in the US are more likely to witness a UFO
A brother and sister alien hunting team have discovered a “UFO highway” across America along which hundreds of unexplained events have taken place - from cattle mutilations to alien abductions.
Chuck Zukowski and Debbie Ziegelmeyer have spent years travelling across the US investigating hundreds of UFO sightings and other paranormal occurrences.
It was during one cattle mutilation investigation that Chuck realised that many of the unexplained events he had looked into had taken place on the 37th latitude.
He called his sister - who noticed the same with her investigations in Missouri - and the pair began researching the phenomenon, discovering that there are clusters of unexplained events taking place across the same latitude line.
The pair believe that the 37th latitude line is a kind of UFO or paranormal “highway” along which extra terrestrial craft enter and exit the earth.
Their theory is now the subject of a book called the 37th Parallel - and is about to be made into a Hollywood blockbuster in the next few months.
Chuck told Sun Online: “Back in 2006 I was looking at my cattle mutilation investigations - there were huge similarities between them all - most of them were laying on their right side, they’re laying east to west and then I noticed that lots of them were on the 37 degree latitude.
“I called my sister at midnight and I said, ‘Didn’t you have cattle mutilations on the 37 degree latitude in Missouri?'
"And she said, 'Yes' and we started looking more into it. We soon realized it wasn’t just cattle mutilations – there were all kind of events.
"We we're up until 2:30 in the morning going through all these cases and started seeing these amazing patterns.”
The 37th latitude line runs from California through Nevada, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and across to Virginia.
Examples of cases along the line include the Joplin Spook Lights - unexplained balls of light that have been appearing in Hornet, Missouri since the 19th century; The Aztec, Nevada incident of 1948 when a flying saucer allegedly crashed; and Piedmont, Missouri where 500 people reported UFO sightings in 1973.
The infamous Area 51 in Nevada - and the Dulce Base - an alleged underground alien base - are also located on the line.
"For the next month or so I start looking at all these cases and I had all this data," Chuck explained.
"All these GPS co-ordinates, everything from Native American sites to underwater caves.
"I released it all on my website and I mentioned it during an appearance on the Science Channel's Unexplained Files - then for the next season of that show they asked me to expand on the theory so I did a whole episode on it for them.
"The bottom line is the 37th latitude is like a UFO highway or paranormal highway across the continent.
"We seem to think that this highway is a major highway that these crafts use - they seem to exit and enter here."
After his appearance on the Science Channel a Hollywood producer got in touch and told Chuck his theory would be a great idea for a book and movie.
The book 37th Parallel, by New York times best selling author Ben Niezrich, came out last year - and a screen play is currently being written.
"In 2015 I signed a life-rights contract with Flint Pictures - it got picked up by New Line Cinema - Warner Brothers before the book was even written - just on the idea," Chuck said.
"The book came out last year. The screen play is being written by a Hollywood screenwriter who has written movies for Matt Damon, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr and should be ready in the next month.
"We’ll know in October if the movie is going ahead but they already have some big name actors following the project already."
Debbie said she is now investigating what incidents have occurred on the 37th latitude around the world - particularly over water.
Athens, Greece, sits on the line - and it's also the the dividing line between North and South Korea.
Debbie has even witnessed UFOs herself on the 37th latitude after a party at her family's lake house near Farmington, Missouri - which lies on the line - last year.
"I have an app on my phone that you can use to look up and it tells you what planets and constellations are visible," she said.
"And then all of a sudden we saw four stars in a formation. They were small stars which kept getting brighter and brighter - so apparently whatever it was was coming into the atmosphere then the one on the top left hand corner shot fast, straight up, and the top right and bottom left did the same - and the bottom right one went right across the horizon.
"I spoke to other experts to see if we have any military or government projects that could do that and they said no - they had no idea what it could be."
Chuck and Debbie say they have investigated hundreds and hundreds of paranormal cases - and it's not just UFOs - the pair also investigate ghost and Bigfoot sightings.
"I get three or four people a week getting in touch with me through my website - sightings, photos and videos - I always have a backlog," Chuck said.
"We started off as crash retrieval investigators but then you gather all this equipment like geiger counters, Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF) instruments, night vision goggles and then people get in touch.
"Lots of Bigfoot sightings are associated with UFO sightings - and ghost investigations started coming up because I had all this equipment.
"We use EMF instruments to look for trace evidence to look for crafts or entities because they leave electronic signatures - well it turns out ghosts leave electronic signatures too.
"Sometimes where they have had ghost sightings the orbs they see might not be ghosts but UFOs.
UFO-snelweg ontdekt in Amerika. Reizen buitenaardse schepen hier van en naar de aarde?
UFO-snelweg ontdekt in Amerika. Reizen buitenaardse schepen hier van en naar de aarde?
Een broer en zus hebben in Amerika naar eigen zeggen een UFO-snelweg ontdekt waar zich honderden onverklaarbare gebeurtenissen hebben voorgedaan.
Chuck Zukowski en Debbie Ziegelmeyer hebben jarenlang in de VS onderzoek gedaan naar UFO-waarnemingen en paranormale gebeurtenissen.
Tijdens een onderzoek naar gevallen van veeverminking besefte Chuck dat al deze vreemde gebeurtenissen plaatsvonden langs de 37e breedtegraad.
UFO-snelweg
Het tweetal vermoedt dat deze breedtegraad een soort UFO-snelweg is die buitenaardse vaartuigen gebruiken om van en naar de aarde te reizen.
“In 2006 verdiepte ik me in gevallen van veeverminking en kwam ik tot de ontdekking dat ze zich vooral voordeden langs de 37e breedtegraad,” vertelde Chuck aan de Sun Online.
Al snel realiseerden Chuck en Debbie dat ook allerlei andere onverklaarbare gebeurtenissen aan deze denkbeeldige parallel konden worden gelinkt.
Indrukwekkende patronen
“We begonnen opeens allerlei indrukwekkende patronen te ontwaren,” zei Chuck.
De 37e breedtegraad loopt van Californië via Nevada, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois en Kentucky naar Virginia.
Langs de parallel zijn een aantal bekende UFO-waarnemingen gedaan. Sinds de 19e eeuw worden in Missouri onverklaarbare lichtbollen gezien, in 1948 crashte er naar verluidt een vliegende schotel in Aztec in Nevada en in 1973 zagen 500 mensen UFO’s in Piedmont in Missouri.
Area 51
Ook de geheimzinnige basis Area 51 en Dulce Base, een vermeende ondergrondse alienbasis, bevinden zich langs de lijn.
“We denken dat deze snelweg door schepen wordt gebruikt om van en naar de aarde te reizen,” lichtte Chuck toe.
There are some things science shouldn’t mess with because they’re already perfect. One is bacon. Another is crayfish, those luscious little lobster-lites that are so delicious boiled, fried or etouffeed (if that’s not a verb, it should be). As usual, science doesn’t listen. Researchers in Cambodia have developed monstrous muscular pigs that look like Arnold Swine-eneggers, while scientists in the Czech Republic have created cyborg crayfish for inspecting water tanks at breweries. Great, they’re messing with beer too.
(Duroc)
“This is the very real horror that seems to be unfolding on a Cambodian farm, where genetically altered pigs are being bred to develop heaping knots of muscle mass.”
Danny Prater, a PETA spokesperson, reports that Duroc Cambodia, a pig breeding company in the Banteay Meanchey province, has been genetically modifying pigs to produce what it calls “double muscled” animals by editing a single gene. The goal was to create pigs with more and leaner meat. The result was monsters with massive muscles that look eerily human and huge testicles that did not. The company claims that out of the 32 pigs modified, only 13 lived to 18 months and only one reached adulthood healthy. However, their website shows many more muscular mutants than just one. They’re also selling artificial insemination kits, so the hog is already out of the bag. There’s no word on how the bacon, chops, hams or hocks taste. While it looks ominous, PETA should be happy. These scary pigs may keep more people from becoming butchers.
(Duroc)
Moving from hogs to hops, researchers at the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Water at South Bohemia University in Vodnany, Czech Republic, have provided the Provtin brewery with the first of its cyborg crayfish. The freshwater crustaceans (better known as crawfish or crawdads) are fitted with biosensors that monitor their movements and heartbeat while they crawl or swim inside of tanks holding water brought in to be used for beer-making. Crayfish respond rapidly to changes in the water, so deviations from their normal readings are quickly picked up and the water in a questionable tank is used instead for beer that is sold in the United States.
Just kidding. It’s either purified or dumped. Eventually, the cyborg crayfish are expected to be upgraded to carry tiny cameras that will watch for bored brewers trying to snatch a few for a lunch of beer and beer-battered crawfish … and probably inspect the insides of the water tanks at the same time.
While you get ready to dig into your BLT and glass of Czech ale, consider this … those extra-thick slices may be from a mutant hoginator and there was probably a crawfish swimming in your beer.
“Aliens were involved, without a doubt. This has been going for over 20 years and no one has offered any solutions.”
“Without a doubt,” says Julio Zurbirgk, a cattle rancher in General San Martin, a city just northwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Make that a very frustrated cattle rancher who, like others in Argentina, is tired, frustrated and fearful after over 20 years of mysterious cattle mutilations with no explanations or support from the government of one of the world’s leading beef-producing nations.
“They must remove the organs aboard the spacecraft, because there was nothing strange to be found around the animal. One can also see that they must throw the animals from their craft, because they land with their legs backward.”
Zurbirgk is describing to Argentine media the strange and sadly horrific state he recently found one of his black Aberdeen Angus cows in. A pregnant cow. A picture reveals that the cow’s eyes, tongue and jaw were removed with surgical precision, but did not show that the cow’s anus was also gone … but strangely not the health fetus that was near term.
While he saw nothing strange around the cow, Julio hesitated to approach his cow for a very good reason – his dogs were staying at least 50 meters away.:
“These cases are classic. I don’t know how dogs are aware of them and come no closer.”
Cattle mutilations have long been the bane of Argentine ranchers, but they’ve been on the increase since 2015. as a website devoted to tracking them attests. The photo-filled site ends with a mutilation in Tilisarao in central Argentina this past July. It will soon have another listing.
Is the prevalence of mysterious mutilations in Argentina because it has so many cattle, or could there be another, possibly alien, cause? Chuck Zukowski and Debbie Ziegelmeyer have been investigating cattle mutilations in the United States for years and their map of them shows a high concentration along the 37th parallel – a line through California, Nevada, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Virginia with an high number of cattle mutilations and enough UFO sightings to nickname it the UFO Highway. Their data and observations were detailed in a book, The 37th Parallel by Brad Mezrich, which is being made into a movie.
So, the obvious question is … where is the 37th Parallel South? Place your bets now.
Finished?
As you probably guessed, it runs through the middle of Argentina and many of the locations where cattle mutilations are clustered. Does the 37th Parallel South have the same concentration of UFO sightings and other paranormal activities? That sounds like another investigation for Zukowski and Ziegelmeyer.
In the meantime, the mutilations continue and the Argentine ranchers fume and shake their fists — first at the sky and then at the government..
