10 fascinating facts about the Middle East you didn't know

In 2007, American scientists discovered a giant "20-foot fungus" in Saudi Arabia.

1. A True History

Roman-Syrians knew what the future had in store long before Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon and Leif Eriksson "found" America.

In what is arguably the first fantasy book, True History tells the stories of the first encounter with aliens, the discovery of a new continent in the West, and explorers flying to the moon.

Lucian of Samosata was a Syrian writer in the second century who knew Greek. He wrote this book as a parody, mocking all adventures and creatures that used to be featured in old tales.

2. Hamsters

The small, cute and lovable gerbils were firstly discovered in Syria in 1797. 

In 1930, Israel Aharoni, a zoologist from the University of Jerusalem, captured Syrian hamsters - originally called golden hamsters - in order to subject them to medical research. 

After scientists bred them, they delivered them to multiple laboratories around the world.

The hamsters you see in pet shops today are most likely the descendants of the same furry animals which were bred in 1930.

3. Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed is an action-adventure video game revolving around a warbetween the "Assassins" - fighting for peace and freedom - and the "Templars" - those convinced that peace will reign only if humanity is controlled.

Little do players of this video game know that the Assassins depicted in it are based on actual assassins who existed between the 11th and 13th century in Syria and Persia (modern day Iran) and were known as "Hashishiyyin".

4. Suing NASA

In 1997, CNN reported that three Yemenis sued NASA for invading Mars after the agency sent out the Pathfinder spacecraft and the Sojourner rover to explore the red planet. 

According to the three Yemeni men, they "inherited the planet" from their ancestors 3,000 years prior to the incident. 

They also had papers to prove it. 

All claims of owning the planet were later dismissed. 

5. Mocha

Mocha is a delicious drink in which coffee and chocolate are mixed. 

The word mocha is actually derived from Mocha, a port in Yemen on the Red Sea. 

Up until 1990, the latter was the primary port to export Arabian coffee (a strong, dark brown coffee) to the world.

6. An "alien-looking" place on Earth

The Socotra Island is a hot, dry island situated in the Indian Ocean. 

It makes up an archipelago of four islands in the Arabian Sea and is part of Yemen. 

Also called "The Socotra Island of strange plants," it is pretty isolated, yet inhabited by some 44,000 people. 

Due to its diminutive population, this island contains 700 extremely rare species of animals and plants. 

In total, 1/3 of its flora and fauna cannot be found anywhere else on earth.

7. Importing sand and camels?!

Even though Saudi Arabia is well-known for its wide deserts and camel-back riding, the country is importing sands and camels from Australia. 

Mainly using camels to carry people and goods, Saudis don't find their "ships of the desert" tasty.  

Apparently, Australian camels are fatter and more delicious. While the sand found in the kingdom is not fit for construction.

8. 20-foot mushrooms

In 2007, American scientists discovered a giant "20-foot fungus" in Saudi Arabia.

It is believed that these mushrooms dominated the Saudi territory; that is until they became extinct 350 million years ago.

9. Springs are drying up

The springs in Saudi Arabia are rapidly drying up because of the country's unbalanced farming techniques.

If this persists, the country may have to import all its food in the near future.

10. The name "Muhammad"

"Muhammad" is the most popular baby name in the world. 

Around 150 million men and boys have the same name as the prophet of Islam.

5 Alien Species Already Walking Amongst Us

While it is often believed that most aliens are an unfriendly bunch, there are a few species that have been on Earth for centuries who serve to disprove this claim. Some of the more friendly alien species are listed below.

1. THE LYRANS

It’s a widely held belief that the Lyrans are our oldest ancestors. In fact, there are those that believe that the Lyrans were actually the first “humans” to form a civilization in the Milky Way galaxy.

The world famous Billy Meier was one of the first people to talk about Lyrans. He claims that they revealed to him their origins and story. He was extremely gracious to share this story with mankind.

Mr. Meier reports that, “They have described their ancient ancestry, and consequently ours, as originating in a far sun-system in a star group near what we now know as the Ring Nebula of Lyra, for which we have called them Lyrans in the same manner as we refer to human beings from what we call the Pleiades.

2. THE ARCTURIANS

After many eons of existence, one of the oldest alien species in our galaxy, the Arcturians, have reached such an ascended state that many classify them as a fifth dimension civilization.

Their home planet orbits the largest star in the Bootes Constellation and is located approximately 200 light years away from Earth.

While seemingly impossible for us to reach, it’s proven to be of little consequence to the Arcturians because while millions of years ago the Arcturians achieved the level of technology we have reached on Earth. They now possess some of the most advanced technology in the Milky Way galaxy.

While few people have directly interacted with the Arcturians, those that have report them as being between 3 and 5 feet tall with large heads and big, black almond shaped eyes. Their skin is normally a greenish color and they have three fingers on each hand.

In addition, they appear to be masters of telepathic communication and can move objects or interact with their environment all through the use of their minds. Furthermore, old age and death have been virtually eliminated from their society.

It’s believed that their fleet of starships crisscrosses the galaxy and one of them, the Starship Athena, is believed to be orbiting the earth to prevent something from threatening our existence.

The Arcturians take their role as protectors extremely seriously. So seriously, in fact, one of their probes, the Black Knight Satellite, is believed to have been orbiting Earth for the last 13,000 years.

3. THE TELOSIANS

Described as being tall, blonde humanoids, the Telosians are believed by many to be the last survivors of long lost human civilizations on Earth.

There are those that say they are the survivors of the cataclysms that sunk Atlantis and Lemuria, while another school of thought believes they are much older than that.

Their name derives from the ancient Greek word “telos” meaning “end’ or “purpose.” It seems a fitting name for their largest city of Telos which many believe is located under Mt. Shasta, California.

Through psychotronic technology and highly developed cerebral abilities, their advanced society has been in constant contact with a number of other extraterrestrial civilizations including the Pleiadians and Arcturians.

The first person to describe the Telosians was Admiral Richard Byrd. In his diaries that were published after his death, he tells of a secret North Pole mission to the home of an advanced subterranean race.

Admiral Byrd wrote that this alien species had been living in a few secret underground cities but it was our nuclear bombs that finally drew them out to the surface. Admiral Byrd wrote,

“Our interests rightly begins just after your race exploded the first atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. It was at that alarming time we sent our flying machines, the “Flugelrads” to your surface world to investigate what your race had done.“

“You see, we have never interfered before in your race’s wars and barbarity, but now we must, for you have learned to tamper with a certain power that is not for man, namely that of atomic energy.”

“Our emissaries have already delivered messages to the powers of your world, and yet they do not heed. Now you have been chosen to be witness here that our world does exist. You see, our culture and science is many thousands of years beyond our race. Admiral.”

Thousands of years of scientific advancement have given the Telosians the ability to circumvent disease and aging. The Telosians are widely known for their longevity and could help us with our own. They are also true protectors of the Earth’s environment and keepers of knowledge about our planet’s past.

4. THE ALPHA CENTAURIANS

The extraterrestrials from Alpha Centauri easily have the power to not only destroy us, but any other aggressive alien species. They are considered to be the most technologically advanced alien species in the Milky Way galaxy.

They got in this position because they are reported to be highly intelligent and possess a natural curiosity which in turn led them to rapid advancements in science and technology. It also appears that the Alpha Centaurians have learned that with immense power comes immense responsibility.

Over time they evolved into an aquatic species with gills and webbed limbs. Some researchers believe they are responsible for most of the underwater and the USO phenomena.

It’s also believed that they have a number of bases that operate on the bottom of our seas, oceans, and lakes around the planet.

In keeping with their nature, the Alpha Centaurians are believed to be very benevolent towards the human race and have a desire to help us overcome some of the many challenges that come with the evolution of a species.

It’s believed that they communicate telepathically and their influence, while subtle, is always there. Many researchers believe that the Alpha Centaurians promote social justice and human rights as they pertain to the responsibility advanced technology we’re developing.

5. THE PLEIADIANS

Believed to be descendants of the early Lyrans, the Pleiadians, in some circles, have come to represent one of humanity’s most active allies.

Their home is located in the Pleiades Star Cluster, which is a group of stars located approximately 400 light years from Earth. Their name is derived from the ancient Greek verb, “plein” meaning “to sail.”

The Pleiadians have always played an important role in human culture. One of their chosen representatives, Billy Meir, imparted the messages of Semjase, a Pleidian female who was deeply concerned for our fate. She told Billy:

“We are neither guardians of Earth nor beings of God-sent angels or similar. Many persons suggest we are watching over Earth and her beings and would control their fates.

This is not true, because we only perform a self-selected mission which has nothing to do with supervising or regulating Earth’s fate. Thus it is wrong to expose us as superterrestrial messengers and guardians.”

Despite the message from Semjase, the Pleiadians were the first to warn Earth about the danger that Grey aliens posed. The Pleiadians accused the Greys of having a lack of wisdom and empathy when using technologically inferior humans to serve their evil, remorseless purposes.

For this reason, the two alien species have fought one another not only here, but in other star systems.

Those that have been in contact with the Pleiadians claim that the Pleiadians have been attempting to free ourselves from oppression for quite some time.

The 150,000-year-old Baigong Pipes—Evidence of a technologically advanced civilization?

8 percent of the material in the pipes could not be identified. Their mysterious pipes are believed to be around 150,000 years old. According to the largest state-run newspapers in China—People’s Daily reported on a 2007 investigation in which a research fellow from the Chinese Earthquake Administration reported they had found some of the pipes to be highly radioactive.

A recently published study titled “Prior Indigenous Technological Species” by Jason T. Wright from the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics and Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds, at Pennsylvania State University, has given us lot to think about.

What if, in the distant past, hundreds of thousands—perhaps millions of years ago—an advanced technological species existed somewhere in our solar system? Maybe even Earth?

The idea that humans are not the first, or only, technological species to arise in the Solar System is very old. In the second century, CE Lucian of Samosata wrote (satirically) of intelligent non-human creatures on the Moon in ᾿Αληθῆ διηγήματα (True History), and Voltaire (also satirically) wrote of intelligent beings on Saturn in Micromegas (1752). Of course, the idea of indigenous Martian civilizations pervades science fiction to the point of cliche, but was once also considered at least somewhat seriously in scientific circles, most famously by Lowell (1895), but also as recently as Shklovski˘ı & Sagan (1998) (who speculated that the moons of Mars might be artificial).

Wright asks some very important questions which many other researchers have not ventured into.

Given that it is known to host complex life, the most obvious origin for a prior species of any sort is Earth. Archeology and paleontology, having not found evidence for such a prior species or its technology, put strong constraints on when it might have existed and the longevity of its technosignatures. But how long would such evidence last?

Regrettably, in today’s world, the sheer amount of ‘fake artifacts and hoaxes’ discovered around the globe make it hard for experts to deduce what is and what is not legit.

While there are many artifacts that are nothing but the figment of the imagination of people looking to make a name for themselves by promoting fake artifacts, there are certain discoveries that make us ask the million dollar question: What if it’s real?

One such discovery was made in China in the vicinity of Mount Baigong, in China’s western province of Qinghai which is an almost completely uninhabitable region.

There, researchers claim to have discovered—in addition to pipes—a pyramidal structure just off the shores of a salt lake. Some of the Baigong pipes are reported to be associated with three caves in Mount Baigong. These caves are reported to occur within the front face of Mount Baigong. The mouths of the two smaller caves have collapsed. Only the largest cave, which is 6 meters (18 feet) high, can be entered. The vague resemblance of the top of Mount Baigong to a pyramid has been the focus of speculation.

Interestingly, two pipe-like structures have been inside the largest cave. One of these is described as being 40 cm (16 in) in diameter. Dozens of upright pipe-like features, about 10 to 40 cm (4 to 16 inches) in diameter, were also found protruding from Mount Baigong above the largest cave.

The enigmatic pipes were said to have been discovered by a group of scientists from the United States who were seeking dinosaur fossils. The scientists are said to have reported the formations to local authorities in Delingha. However, the pipes did not attract attention until a later report, possibly one of six made by Ye Zhou, appeared in the Henan Dahe Bao (河南大河报 ‘Henan Great River News’) in June 2002.

The age of the pipes was determined by the Beijing Institute of Geology using a technique called thermoluminescence dating. The thermoluminescence is a technique that determines how long a crystalline mineral is exposed to sunlight or heat. The date of the pipes: around 150,000 years ago.

Interestingly, one of the largest state-run newspapers in China—People’s Daily reported on a 2007 investigation in which a research fellow from the Chinese Earthquake Administration reported they had found some of the pipes to be highly radioactive.

According to the tests, 8 percent of the material in the pipes could not be identified. The rest of the composition of the pipes include iron oxide, silicon dioxide, and calcium oxide. Silicon dioxide and calcium oxide are products obtained after a long interaction between iron and the surrounding sandstone which has provided researchers with the age of the pipes. To add to the mystery, Zheng Jiandong, member of the China Earthquake Administration (CEA) told a local newspaper that the tubes show evidence of radioactivity. Jiandong believes that the iron-rich magma may have risen from the depths of the earth, solidifying the iron fissures in the tubes.

So what are these enigmatic pipes? What was their purpose? Are their artificial structures or the result of nature? If they are artificial, who built them 150,000 years ago? According to researchers, humans have only inhabited this specific region over the past 30,000 years and within the known history of the area, the only humans who inhabited the region were nomads whose lifestyle isn’t characteristic of leaving any structures or buildings nor did they possess any knowledge about metallurgy. But if the nomads and ancients did not create those pipes, who did?

Conventional archaeologists and scholars have tried explaining these structures suggesting that they are a natural phenomenon, but Yang Ji, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the pyramid and its strange pipes may have been built by intelligent beings.

According to a 2003 article in the Xinmin Weekly, Chinese scientists using atomic emission spectroscopy found the Baigong Pipes to contain organic matter of plant origin. In addition, the news article also stated that tree rings were found in sections of these rock formations and, as a result, they were judged to be fossil trees or tree roots. However, like many other aspects of the “Baigong pipes”, this news report remains unsupported by either any scientific publication or other reliable primary or secondary source that discusses and documents these findings in any detail.

THE EARTH WAS RULED FOR 241,000 YEARS BY 8 KINGS WHO CAME FROM HEAVEN

Discovered over the years by scholars in many regions of ancient Mesopotamia, copies of what is believed to be a single manuscript, referred to as “Sumerian King List” or “List of Sumerian Kings”, details how in The distant past, our planet was ruled by eight mysterious kings for a mysterious period of 241,000 years. He even claims that these rulers “descended from heaven.”(Earth was ruled for 241,000 years by 8 Kings)

The List of Sumerian Kings tells an incredible story that many find hard to believe.

“After the royalty descended from the sky, they went to Eridug. In Eridug, Alulim became king; He ruled for 28,800 years. Alaljar ruled for 36,000 years. 2 kings; They ruled for 64800 years … “(Earth was ruled for 241,000 years by 8 Kings)

“In 5 cities 8 kings ruled for 241,200 years. Then the flood washed away … “ (This is written in the first part of the List of Sumerian Kings).

But how is it possible that eight kings ruled over the Earth for 241,000 years? Experts believe the answer is simple: the list combines prehistoric and “mythological” dynastic rulers, who enjoyed long and unlikely realms with more plausibly historical dynasties.(Earth was ruled for 241,000 years by 8 Kings)

In other words, scholars are telling us that some things written on the list of Sumerian kings are correct, while others – such as implausibly long reigns – can not be.

In addition, the List of Sumerian Kings not only tells us how long these kings ruled on Earth, it also specifically says that these eight kings “descended from heaven”, after which they ruled for a surprisingly long period.

Curiously, the list details how these eight kings met the end during the Great Flood that swept the Earth. The list also details what happened after the flood, as it clearly says that “other royalty descended from heaven,” and these mysterious kings once again ruled the man.(Earth was ruled for 241,000 years by 8 Kings)

NASA's Mars Odyssey Snaps Its First Images of Moon Phobos

How long to travel to Alpha Centauri?

The distances between stars are vast, which is why star travel is so far. Read here about conventional propulsion and warp drives, plus about Breakthrough Starshot’s new idea to send nanostarships to Alpha Centauri.

Artist’s concept via Breakthrough Starshot.

Outer space is big. Really, really, really big. And that’s why NASA has no plans at present to send a spacecraft to any of the several thousand known planets beyond our solar system. Meanwhile, with respect to star travel, NASA isn’t the only game in town anymore. In April 2016, Russian high-tech billionaire Yuri Milner announced a new and ambitious initiative called Breakthrough Starshot, which intends to pour $100 million into proof-of-concept studies for an entirely new technology for star travel, aimed at unmanned space flight at 20% of light speed, with the goal of reaching the Alpha Centauri system – and, presumably, its newly discovered planet Proxima b – within 20 years. Is it possible? No one knows yet, but Alpha Centauri is an obvious target. It’s the nearest star system to our sun at 4.3 light-years away. That’s about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion km) away from Earth – nearly 300,000 times the distance from the Earth to the sun. Follow the links below to learn more about why star travel is so formidable, and about how we might accomplish it.

Why won’t a conventional rocket work?

Warp drive?

Breakthrough Starshot

These 4 conventional spacecraft are headed out of the solar system. A 5th spacecraft, New Horizons, will also eventually leave the solar system. But conventional spacecraft move slowly in contrast to the vast distances between stars. It’ll be tens of thousands of years before one of these craft encounters a star. Image via Wikimedia Commons.

Why won’t a conventional rocket work? 

Consider the Space Shuttles, which traveled only a few hundred kilometers above Earth’s surface, into Earth orbit. If Earth were the size of a sand grain, this distance would be about the width of a hair in contrast to a 6-mile (10-km) distance to Alpha Centauri.

The Space Shuttles weren’t starships, but we have built starships. Five craft from Earth are currently on their way out of the solar system, headed into interstellar space. They are the two Pioneer spacecraft, the two Voyager spacecraft, and the New Horizons spacecraft. All are moving extremely slowly relative to the speed needed to travel among the stars.

So … consider the two Voyagers – Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 – launched in 1977. Neither Voyagers is aimed toward Alpha Centauri, but if one of them were – assuming it maintained its current rate of speed – it would requires take tens of thousands of years to this next-nearest star. Eventually, the Voyagers will pass other stars. In about 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will drift within 1.6 light-years (9.3 trillion miles) of AC+79 3888, a star in the constellation of Camelopardalis. In some 296,000 years, Voyager 2 will pass 4.3 light-years from Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Hmm, 4.3 light-years. That’s the distance between us and Alpha Centauri.

What about the New Horizons spacecraft, the first spacecraft ever to visit Pluto and its moons. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft travels at 36,373 miles per hour (58,536 km/h). Launched from Earth in mid-January, 2006, it reached Pluto in mid-July, 2015 … nine-and-a-half years later. If New Horizons were aimed toward the Alpha Centauri system, which it isn’t, it would take this spacecraft about 78,000 years to get there.

So conventional rockets won’t work because they are too slow.

Warp drive? 

What if we could travel faster than light? Countless sci-fi books and movies are built around the concept, which brings with its challenges to physicists’ understanding of how space and time actually work. Still, a few years ago, Dr. Harold “Sonny” White – who leads NASA’s Advanced Propulsion Team at Johnson Space Center – claimed to have made a discovery which made plausible the idea of faster-than-light travel, via a concept known as the Alcubierre warp drive.

This concept is based on ideas put forward by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994. He suggested that faster-than-light travel might be achieved by distorting spacetime, as shown in the illustration above.

Harold “Sonny” White has been working to investigate these ideas further. They are highly speculative, but possibly valid, and involve a solution of the Einstein field equations, specifically how space, time and energy interact. In June of 2014, White unveiled images of what a faster-than-light ship might look like. Artist Mark Rademaker based these designs on White’s theoretical ideas. He said creating them took more than 1,600 hours, and they are very cool. See the 2014 faster-than-light spacecraft designs on this Flickr page.

The video below presents Harold White’s talk at the SpaceVision 2013 Space Conference in November, 2013 in Phoenix. He talks about the concepts and progress in warp-drive development over recent decades.

Is it faster-than-light travel possible, via the Alcubierre warp drive? As with conventional propulsion systems, the problem is energy. In this case, it’s the type of energy the warp drive would need. Daily Kos reported:

In order to form the warp field/bubble, a region of space-time with negative energy density (i.e. repulsing space-time) is necessary. Scientific models predict exotic matter with a negative energy may exist, but it has never been observed. All forms of matter and light have a positive energy density, and create an attractive gravitational field.

So faster-than-light travel via the Alcubierre warp drive is highly speculative, to say the least.

With current technologies, it’s not possible.

However, if it could be accomplished, it would reduce the travel time to Alpha Centauri from thousands of years to just days.

Want technical details on the Alcubierre warp drive? Read this 2014 article at Daily Kos.

Or try this January 2017 article on the Alcubierre warp drive, at Phys.org

NASA has a whole area on its website about faster-than-light travel, in which it basically says … it’s not currently possible.

The Alpha Centauri system. It’s at least a double system, maybe a triple system, but we see it with the eye as just one star. In this image – via MSX/IPAC/NASA – you can almost make out the double nature of Alpha Centauri. At 4.3 light-years away, this star system is the closest to Earth.

Breakthrough Starshot.

 In April, 2016, Yuri Milner’s organization Breakthrough Initiatives announced a $100 million investment in proof-of concept studies for an all-new way to get to the stars.

Well, not all new., exactly. The Breakthrough Starshot project relies on technologies that are being tested now, and also on some new technologies that have been around only a few years. But it does put these technologies together in a way that’s entirely new, and extremely visionary.

The Breakthrough Starshot team has some heavy hitters, including physicist Stephen Hawking and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. It proposes to use the $100 million to learn whether it’s possible to use a 100-gigawatt light beam and light sails to propel some 1,000 ultra-lightweight nanocraft to 20% of light speed. If it’s shown to be possible, such a mission could (hypothetically) reach Alpha Centauri within about 20 years of its launch.

There are a lot of appealing things about this project. For example, the use of lightsails is currently in the process of being tested by another organization, the Planetary Society, with a publicly funded project called LightSail.

But the most appealing thing is that the Breakthrough Starshot project is truly innovative, yet still grounded in current, cutting-edge science and technology. Just realize that all existing spacecraft are huge and clunky in contrast to the gram-scale nanostarships – dubbed StarChips – being proposed by Breakthrough Starshot. Can tiny, light ships – on sails pushed by a light beam – fly 1,000 times faster than the fastest spacecraft built up to now? That’s what Breakthrough Starshot is exploring with its ongoing proof-of-concept studies.

Starshot envisions launching a mothership carrying the 1,000 tiny spacecraft to a high-altitude orbit. Each craft is a gram-scale wafer, carrying cameras, photon thrusters, power supply, navigation and communication equipment, and “constituting a fully functional space probe,” the Starshot team has said.

Mission controllers would deploy the nanocraft – send them on their way – one by one. A ground-based laser array called a light beamer would be used to focus light on the sails of the ships, to accelerate individual craft to the target speed “within minutes.”

The plan is to stick four cameras (two-megapixels each) on the nanocraft, allowing for some elementary imaging. The data would be transmitted back to Earth using a retractable meter-long antenna, or perhaps even using the lightsail to facilitate laser-based communications that could focus a signal back towards Earth.

The original idea was to send the spacecraft flying through the Alpha Centauri system without slowing down. After all, how can they slow down? It turns out someone has already figured out a possible way. In early 2017 two scientists announced the results of their study of a possible braking method, using the radiation and gravity of the Alpha Centauri stars themselves. We don’t know yet if such a thing can work, but it’s heartening to see scientists getting involved in this idea!

Clearly, the Breakthrough Starshot project is one that’s worth watching.

On April 20 and 21, 2017, Breakthrough Initiatives held the second of what it says will be an annual conference – called Breakthrough Discuss – aimed at bringing together leading astronomers, engineers, astrobiologists and astrophysicists. This year, they held the conference at Stanford University and focused it on discoveries of potentially habitable planets in nearby star systems, including Alpha Centauri. Videos related to discussions at the conference are archived on Breakthrough’s Facebook page, if you’re interested.

Bottom line: At 4.3 light-years away, the Alpha Centauri system is the nearest star system to our Earth and sun, but getting there would be extremely difficult.

MYSTERY OF THE 'BALTIC SEA ANOMALY' FINALLY SOLVED?

One mystery that has been troubling scientists for a while is the so called 'Baltic Sea Anomaly'. According to the a swedish deep sea exploration team called Ocean X, they came across a strange and gigantic structure that didn't appear like a natural formation.

Many conspiracy theories regarding this anomaly range from a giant crashed mothership UFO to a sunken city in the same vein as Atlantis or perhaps the very same.

However, recently a group of divers collected samples from the so called anomaly for further reasearch.  

Scientists determined that the baltic sea anomaly is but a glacial deposit. Much of the Baltic Sea was carved out by moving glaciers during the Ice Age. So these strange rock formations are leftovers from that time.

But OceanX team disagree. They say that this doesn't prove why electronics ceased functioning when at close distance from the object.

So has the anomaly enigma been solved?

Or is this all a cover up? Watch the following video to know more

THE TRUE AGE OF THE GREAT PYRAMIDS IS SERIOUSLY DISTURBING

The evidence at Giza just keeps stacking up. The dynastic Egyptian most likely didn't build the pyramids and they most definitely did not build the sphinx which has suffered severe water erosion.

The water erosion evident is estimated by experienced geologists to have taken several thousands of years of rain, thereby placing the sphinx somewhere in the last tropical age of Egypt, or possibly further back than that. The sphinx is insanely ancient and that can be proven.

Giant Beam of Light appears to shoot from Triangular Shaped Space Object

Photographer in Florida took some pictures of the sky at 10pm using the settings 200 ISO, 2.5 sec exposure, and 1.8F fixed lens on October 6, 2017.The power was out due to Hurricane Irma.

Two days later when the power came on he loaded up the pictures. He noticed a beam of light in the corner of one of the pictures. He zoomed in and then to his surprise he noticed a triangular shaped object in front of the beam.

The photographer states: “I am no UFO hunter or enthusiast, but I am curious of what it is. I would guess advanced military craft. I have showed the picture to people I run into and no-one has a clue what it could be. I did not see this with my naked eye. So, maybe the camera is the witness.” Mufon case file 87164.

Scientists Concluded That the Soul Does NOT Die – It Goes Back to the Universe!

Perhaps the human consciousness is like a program that is run by a quantum computer found in the brain as well as the human brain is similar to a “biological computer.” That’s not all, after a person dies, their soul may come back to the universe, and it may not die.

Dr. Stuart Hameroff, an American physicist, and Sir Roger Penrose, a mathematical physicist, claim that the soul is maintained in brain cells’ micro-tubules. Both researchers refer to this process as “Orch-OR” or “Orchestrated Objective Reduction.” Apparently, when humans are “clinically dead,” the microtubules in their brain start losing their quantum state. However, these microtubules can still retain the information inside of them.

In addition, this theory has recently been outlined on Through the Wormhole, the Science Channel’s ongoing documentary show. In this documentary show, Dr. Hameroff explains that in case the blood stops flowing and the heart stops beating; then the micro-tubules could lose their quantum state. It is important to understand that the quantum information in the micro-tubules cannot be destroyed, and it dissipates and distributes to the universe at large.

In case the patient is resuscitated, revived, then this quantum information could go back into the micro-tubules and they say that they had a near-death experience. However, in case the patient isn’t revived, and they die, then this quantum information may exist indefinitely outside the body, as a soul.

According to Dr. Hameroff, the human soul is much more than mere neuron “interaction” in the brain. What’s more, this theory also suggests that these “souls” may have existed since the beginning of time itself. Plus, with all of the recent findings pertaining to dark matter and dark energy, i.e., substances that human beings are not able to interact with or see, but substances that we know exist, this theory may end up explaining things, which are even more fascinating and mysterious.

Scientists Say: 'Our Souls Do Not Die – They Go Back to the Universe'

Astronomy, Kepler Mission

NOT AN ALIEN MEGASTRUCTURE, A CLOUD OF DUST ON A 700-DAY ORBIT

 

by Matt Williams

The mystery of KIC 8462852 (aka. Boyajian’s Star or Tabby’s Star) continues to excite and intrigue! Ever since it was first seen to be undergoing strange and sudden dips in brightness (back in October of 2015) astronomers have been speculating as to what could be causing this. Since that time, various explanations have been offered, including large asteroids, a large planet, a debris disc or even an alien megastructure.

Many studies have been produced that have sought to assign some other natural explanation to the star’s behavior. The latest comes from an international team of scientists – which included Tabetha Boyajian, the lead author on the original 2016 paper. According to this latest study, which was recently published in The Astrophysical Journal, the star’s long-term dimming patterns are likely the result of an uneven dust cloud moving around the star.

The study, titled “Extinction and the Dimming of KIC 8462852“, was led by Huan Y. A. Meng of the Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona. The team also included members from the Astrolab IRIS in Belgium, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), the University of Cambridge, Iowa State University, Pennsylvania State University, Louisiana State University, and the University of Leuven, Belgium.

For the sake of their study, the team consulted data that was obtained by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst mission between January and December of 2016. Whereas Spitzer conducted observations in the infrared band, Swift gathered data in the ultraviolet band. This was then compared to visible light gathered during the same period by AstroLAB IRIS’s 68-cm (27-inch) reflecting telescope.

What they found was that KIC 8462852 experienced less dimming in the infrared band than in the ultraviolet. This, they concluded, was a strong indication that material transiting in front of the star was likely no larger than a few micrometers (about one ten-thousands of an inch) in diameter, since anything larger would cause the light to dim equally across all wavelengths.

This finding contradicts many theories that have been ventured since the mysterious dimming of Tabby’s Star was first noticed. As Dr. Meng indicated in a recent NASA press statement:

“This pretty much rules out the alien megastructure theory, as that could not explain the wavelength-dependent dimming. We suspect, instead, there is a cloud of dust orbiting the star with a roughly 700-day orbital period.”

Based on the strong dip in the ultraviolet band, the research team also concluded that the particles must be larger than interstellar dust. Otherwise, the pressure caused by KIC 8462852’s solar wind would drive these particles out into space over time. A circumstellar disk of dust particles would not only be able to remain in orbit, it would also explain the uneven changes in the star’s brightness.

So far, this is the best explanation for the mysterious long-term behavior of Tabby’s Star. As with previous observations, much of the credit for this latest study goes to amateur astronomers who assisted in the observations. It was participants in the Planet Hunters project, which provides open to access Kepler mission data, that first noticed that light coming from KIC  8462852 was experiencing strange dips.

In addition, it was the work of amateur astronomers – who provided the necessary technical and software support to AstroLAB – allowed for this study to take place. After the Astrolab group posted the data they had obtained on Tabby’s star in a public astronomy archive, George Rieke (one of the co-authors on this latest study) contacted them and proposed combining their results.

The AstroLAB group consists of Franky Dubois, who operated the telescope during the Tabby’s Star observations, Ludwig Logie, who helps with technical issues on the telescope, and Steve Rau, who processes observations of star brightness, is a trainer at a Belgian railway company. Together, they began monitoring Tabby’s Star after they read Dr. Boyajian 2016 study.

Ever since it was first announced in 2015, there has been speculation as to what could account for the dimming of KIC 8462852.

Naturally, more observations and research is needed to confirm this latest study. While it does fit the long-term observations, there is still the matter of shorter-term dimming events. These include the three-day spurts that were noticed in 2017, as well as the major 20-percent dips that were observed during Kepler’s primary mission. The theory that these could have been the result of a swarm of comets is also still a possible explanation.

This theory, which was based on data collected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission, could explain both the short period dips and the longer-term dips. Whereas the comets passing in front of the star could explain the former, dust produced by the sublimation of material from the comets as they draw nearer the star (or through collisions) could explain the latter. As Vanaverbeke said:

“Tabby’s Star could have something like a solar activity cycle. This is something that needs further investigation and will continue to interest scientists for many years to come.”

So for those hoping that Tabby’s Star was the first indication of an alien megastructure, there’s still hope (albeit a faint one)! As Professor Loeb of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) told Universe Today recently (with regards to a new study he co-authored), there’s always the possibility that dimming patterns are due to massive structures – like a magnetic shield – passing in front of a host star:

“The imprint of a shield built by another civilization could involve the changes it induces in the brightness of the host star due to occultation (similar behavior to Tabby’s star)  if the structure is big enough,” he said. “The situation could be similar to Dyson’s spheres, but instead of harvesting the energy of the star the purpose of the infrastructure is to protect a technological civilization on a planet from the flares of its host star.”

While the Kepler mission is no longer in a position to observe Tabby’s Star (now that it is conducting its K2 mission), next-generation telescopes are expected to pick up where it left off. These include NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), and ground-based observatories like the Extremely Large Telescope (VLT) array.

Steven Spielberg believes "we're not alone in the universe" and used to look for UFOs

The legendary director is hoping for a UFO sighting

BY AODHAN GREGORY

Steven Spielberg believes "we're not alone in the universe" and used to look for UFOs

Steven Spielberg followed his first major box-office success Jaws with this epic science fiction adventure about a disparate group of people who attempt to contact alien intelligence.

And it seems like the director behind E.T. The Extra Terrestrial and War of the Worlds was hoping to contact alien life himself while making the much loved Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

The movie celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, and in a new featurette from the special edition 4K Blu-ray box set, Spielberg reveals he believes we’re not alone in the universe.

The 70-year-old Hollywood veteran says initially he wasn’t trying to make a sci-fi film when he wrote the script and directed the award winning film.

The premise of the movie revolves around a line worker who feels undeniably drawn to an isolated area in the wilderness after he encounters a UFO

Spielberg jokes that he tried to do the same thing.

“If I thought of it as a science fiction film, I wouldn’t have taken so many drives out to Californian deserts hoping to find and actually having a UFO sighting, which I by the way I’ve never had a UFO sighting.

“The one person who deserves to have a UFO sighting, it hasn’t happened yet for me.”

Spielberg’s belief in aliens isn’t all that surprising given his history of space-based movies after Close Encounters of a Third Kind but it is clear it’s what helped him created this highly revered film forty years ago.

He continues: “I really believed that there was something up there. I still believe we’re not alone in the universe.

“So I was kind of in those days, thinking 'well there might be something to this.'”

The Close Encounters of the Third Kind 40th Anniversary 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions are out on October 9th.

The alien craft spotted can be seen passing by across the left of the screen and it appears to be metallic and reflective. Yellowstone National Park, where this volcano is situated, is an area of great interest for UFOlogists, UFO hunters and alien enthusiasts as the region is popular for UFO sightings.

As per media reports, this footage was captured on 9 June but was uploaded on the internet recently and it was titled "Impressive UFO near the Yellowstone Volcano".

In another inci dent that took place in late 2016, an unknown tiny craft was seen flying by the Supervolcano. A video of this occurance was soon uploaded on the internet by a used named Jeanetta Foresta, which she named "Things R flying all over - overnight" which went viral.

Facebook/UFOSFacts

"There were more than four at the beginning and this is overnight so there is no sun to reflect off of a plane," Foresta posted, as quoted by Express

"There were more than four at the beginning and this is overnight so there is no sun to reflect off of a plane," Foresta added.

Popular controversy theorist and UFO blogger Scott C Waring too shared his views regarding this sighting on the website ufosightingsdaily.com and stated that various glowing orbs are found moving over the Yellowstone, which can attract both alien as well as human tourists.

"Why wouldn't aliens be interested in the Earth's natural wonders?

"The movement is proof its not Venus or a hot air balloon. If you knew the truth about the abundance of alien ships, craft and species around us every day, it would blow your mind," Waring stated.

Watch the latest footage of the UFO sighting captured on 9 June:

 More about the Yellowstone Supervolcano:

The Yellowstone Supervolcano is an ancient active volcano which is known for its stunning features like 10,000 hot springs, terraces, mud pots and geysers including the cone geyser named Old Faithful.

The volcano is known to erupt in every 600,000 years and it last erupted 600,000 years back. This became a cause of concern for NASA as it is can wipe out the human civilisation.

NASA researchers even thought of taking steps to save people from this disastrous situation as this supervolcano is considered more threatening than an asteroid collision.

Brian Wilcox of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at the California Institute of Technology said: "The most important thing with this is to do no harm,", was quoted as saying by BBC.

"If you drill into the top of the magma chamber and try and cool it from there, this would be very risky. This could make the cap over the magma chamber more brittle and prone to fracture. And you might trigger the release of harmful volatile gases in the magma at the top of the chamber which would otherwise not be released," Wilcox concluded.

Man Claiming To Be From The Year 2048 Says He’s Back With A Dire Warning

After delivering his message, Bryant Johnson was charged with public intoxication.

By Nina Golgowski

 

A Wyoming man accused of public intoxication allegedly told police he traveled from the year 2048 to warn mankind of an impending invasion by extraterrestrials.

CASPER POLICE DEPARTMENT

Bryant Johnson issued his grave warning to Casper police Monday night after officers were called about the man and his out-of-this-world message, according to an arrest report obtained by HuffPost.

Johnson, who police said smelled of alcohol and spoke with slightly slurred speech, allegedly told officers that “the aliens were coming next year and we needed to make sure to leave as fast as possible.”

According to the report, he didn’t specify an exact date or time for the aliens’ arrival.

He refused to speak with nurses or doctors and instead insisted on meeting with “the president” of the town, police said.

Johnson informed the officers that he was able to travel through time because the aliens filled his body with alcohol. He also claimed he stood on a “giant pad” which then transported him to the year 2017 — though he said he was supposed to be sent to the year 2018.

Johnson, who was allegedly found with a blood alcohol content of .136, was eventually transported to the Natrona County Detention Center without further incident.

Of course, the joke could be on us when all this turns out to be true.

H/T K2 Radio

Correction: A previous version of this story stated that Johnson’s blood alcohol content was allegedly .136 percent. It was allegedly .136.

WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS ‘ALIEN ABDUCTEE’ TRAVIS WALTON SLAMS SCEPTICS – CLAIMING 16 LIE DETECTOR TESTS PROVE HIS STORY IS TRUE

THE man involved in one of the most infamous alien abduction cases of all time has hit out at skeptics and non-believers – saying 16 separate lie detector tests – taken by himself and witnesses to the unexplained 1975 incident – prove his story is TRUE.

Travis Walton, disappeared without a trace after he and the crew of loggers he worked with claimed to have seen a huge UFO in the forest they were working in.

Travis believes he was taken aboard an alien spacecraft for five days
Originally crew members were suspected of murder but Travis reappeared five days later saying he had been taken into a space craft by alien creatures.

The dad-of-four says he has spent the past 40 year defending himself against those trying to discredit him – and has even written a book debunking every alternate theory to what happened to him.

The 64-year-old, who says the incident is still “fresh in his mind’, told the Sun Online it was important to share his story because the public have a right to “know what’s out there”.

Travis, a logger in the mountains of Arizona, was leaving work on November 5, 1975, with five crew members in a truck when the alleged incident took place.

They saw some glimmers of light through the trees – and pulled up, thinking it was a fire.

“When we pulled up into the light where we had straight view – it was unmistakable I yelled stop and one of the guys in the back said it’s a spaceship or a flying saucer it was less than 100 feet away,” Travis said.

An artist’s impression of the UFO Travis and his crew members saw

Travis was a logger in Arizona when the bizarre incident took place
“It was a clearly defined metallic disc outlined against the sky and fantastic in the grandeur of it.

“All the guys in the crew – as frightening as it was – also describe it as being beautiful it was so perfect.

“I got out as soon as Mike who was driving stopped and I left the door open and went towards it.

“It was just an impulse I thought it would be gone by the time I got close. It was immediately alarming to the other guys and the closer I got they were yelling at me to get back in the truck.

“Later they said it looked like I was in a trance but looking at them it seemed like they were in a trance too.”

The incident took place in the Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona

The spaceship began to make loud noises and move so Travis dived for cover behind a log.

He then tried to stand up and run away but was hit by a strong “force” and was thrown into the air.

“When it hit me it was a stunning force. I did not see this blast of energy but the men in the crew gave a statement to the sheriff’s department and said it looked like a long blue flame – others compared it to stepping on a landmine or grenade because it threw me through the air.

“They were immediately certain it killed me.”

Crew members described Travis being knocked to the ground by a blue light or laser beam. Fearing for their lives – and thinking Travis was dead – the rest of the crew fled to get help.

A huge search party involving the sheriff department, helicopters, ATVs and men on horseback – could not find any trace of Travis.

Meanwhile Travis’s account of what he remembers next is even more bizarre.

The ‘aliens’ were described as having big eyes and huge heads.

He says he awoke from consciousness on a spaceship surrounded by small creatures he believes were aliens.

“It was very blurry and I had some double vision but I could see the outline of these forms around me I thought they were doctors but when my vision got clearer and I could see these were not doctors – I just flipped out,” he said.

“The one that was closest to me – I tried to hit it away – but I felt like I could hardly move my arm.

Travis said the aliens’ stares gave him nightmares.

“It was more of a push than a hit because I was so weakened but the creature felt soft and lighter than I expected. It fell back into one that was standing near it.

“I backed away and bumped up against a shelf and looked around and saw an array of tools or instruments and I very quickly just grabbed one and started flailing at them.

“They stopped and stood there staring at me and that stare was in my nightmares for many years after that. I couldn’t tolerate that stare.”

Travis says he managed to escape through a door and into a narrow passageway then into another room with control panel in it.

A human being dressed in what looked like a space helmet then appeared and took him to a separate room where he was put on a table and given a mask which rendered him unconscious.

Crew members all passed lie detector tests confirming what they saw.

The next thing he knew he was waking up on the road about 15 miles from where he disappeared just outside the nearest town of Snowflake, Arizona.

Travis, who had no idea he had been gone for five days, managed to walk into town where everyone who saw him described him as looking “devastated” and “shell shocked”.

But then the battle to get people to believe his story began – and Travis was thrust into the world’s spotlight.

Travis’s wrote a book about his experiences called Fire In The Sky which was later turned into a movie of the same name.

Travis says he’s faced a battle to be believed for the past 40 years.

Travis said: “From the beginning it was a battle against people trying to explain it away – the locals didn’t want to believe it, the sheriff didn’t want to believe it – you know he thought it was a murder then a drug hallucination.

“I had a whole battery of psychiatric tests and there was nothing wrong in that department, drug tests proved there was nothing in my system.”

And over 40 years later Travis stands by his story – and has taken five separate lie detector tests to prove it is true – while witnesses and crew members have taken a total of 11 polygraph tests.

Travis believes he is not the only one who has been taken by aliens.

Experts believe there is a million to one chance of there being any mistakes in this number of passed tests.

Speaking at the Devil’s Tower UFO rendezvous in Hulett, Wyoming, Travis said: “I decided to break my silence. I started refuted these things that people have been saying about me and my story.

“I took each and every theory the sceptics came up with and just blew them out of the water with facts.

“I am certain I’m not the only one who has been taken – this is absolutely real and it’s important that the general public come to a gradual understanding of that.

“I’m not trying to shock or amaze or frighten anyone – on the contrary – in relating how frightened I was I don’t want anyone to share that fear.

Travis shared his story at the Devil’s Tower UFO Rendezvous.

“I think it’s important for them to realize what happened with me 45 years ago – it was not even an abduction.

“I entertained that term for a while because that’s what other people called it but now I’d say it was more of an ambulance call – that I was injured in a way that would have been fatal and the aliens had the technology available to help me.”
