Weird Norfolk: The Norwich UFO documented by the CIA

Stacia Briggs

Just months after Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953, the Eastern Evening News front page carried a story about a visit from an Unidentified Flying Object which might have travelled to Earth through its own corona.

On October 8, the EEN reported that Frank Potter had spotted something unusual in the sky over his home on South Park Avenue in Norwich.

The amateur astronomer told reporters that he’d seen a noiseless object two days earlier at 7.15pm, travelling from south-west to north-east.

Training his telescope on the craft, he followed the saucer-shaped object as it sped across the sky, noting: “rays or beams of light could be seen distinctly from the dome and attached directly beneath it was a much larger and flattened dome with a protruding band running in a circumference around its edge.

“The underneath of the large flattened bottom dome was hollow and appeared to be glowing red, but there were no vapour trails or gases to be seen.”

The article prompted several other star-gazers to come forward to say they too had spotted something to suggest that we are not alone.

Mr Potter also revealed that a further seven members of the Norwich Astronomical Society, to which he belonged, had also seen the saucer.

Leonard G Cramp, vice-president of the British UFO Research Association, included the Norwich sighting in his 1954 book Space, Gravity and The Flying Saucer, a highly technical examination of the technology necessary to build a flying saucer.

Excerpts from Cramp’s book - including Mr Potter’s testimony - can be found online in the Central Intelligence Agency’s declassified documents library.

The truth is out there...somewhere above South Park Avenue.

UFO Flying at Mach 17 Filmed by USAF Veteran, Sends 4K Footage to NASA

If you still believe in green men and giant disks in this age of technology, there’s a good chance you’ll miss the true essence of the UFO phenomenon and extraterrestrial implications on this planet.

What this USAF veteran from Ayden, California had caught on his drone’s camera far surpasses our general understanding of UFOs.

A supersonic device of tiny proportions traveling 17 times faster than the speed of sound zipped nearby his DJI Phantom 3 Professional 4k drone, just above Ayden District Park, and without anyone noticing at first. After later playing the video on his 4k TV, the veteran was immediately amazed by what he saw.

I am 59 years old and retired from the USAF,” the man told MUFON. “In my 20 year military career I thought I had seen it all. This footage took me back!”

The ambiguous object was flying at about 50 feet from ground level at a speed outperforming by far any known craft engineered by human hands. The calculations performed revealed a staggering velocity of about 13,000 mph, that’s 17 times faster than the speed of sound.

For a better ensemble picture, the Lockheed SR-71 barely exceeds Mach 3.2, or about 2,200 miles per hour. The record-keeper for the hastiest manned jet is the SR-71 which is still nearly 6 times slower than the UFO seen above.

If we compare the fastest flying object designed by humans that doesn’t carry a crew, then DARPA’s HTV-s (Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2) is the one to match the elusive UFO after streaking across the sky at the same bewildering velocity of 13,000 mph. However, the HTV-2 had to be launched using a rocket before using its scramjet engine, not to mention the Falcon Project was initiated over a decade ago. Who knows what toys they have in stock by now…

If you play the video at normal speed rate, there’s a good chance you’ll miss the object if you blink due to its extreme velocity and compressed size.

When the video is slowed down, the UFO comes into picture, but it’s neither big nor defined, and is certainly not leaving any trail. It’s not what most people would expect from a UFO sighting, isn’t it?

The description of the video provides additional information – “UFO traveled 6200 feet (about 1.2 miles) in 1/3rd of a second.”

The USAF veteran made an appeal to qualified authorities for further investigations and analysis.

I filed a UFO report with MUFON and they notified NASA and sent them a copy of the video. The video is under investigation and analysis. Work is being performed on it by both agencies.

I wouldn’t put my trust in NASA getting to the bottom of this due to their…busy schedule, but some lines can be drawn by the UFO community on the web.

Let’s have a look first at this similar case surprised by the camera installed on a Q500+ drone. There are many similarities between the two objects in terms of speed, appearance and a healthy appetite to scare drone owners by nearly missing their devices.

Both UFOs seem to belong to the physical realm. Their appearance suggests they’re made of a metallic allow, light-colored and little reflective.

Even more, the veteran’s video was shot in 4k at 30 frames per second, exactly the type of quality one would expect from a modern-day UFO sighting of sorts.

A video analysis by MUFON investigator Sanford Davis sheds more light on this mysterious case, although he was unable to provide a conclusive answer.

This anomaly was neither observed nor experienced first-hand,” the official report reads. “It was observed as the witness was reviewing aerial drone footage. The whole sighting occurs within a third of a second – a streak arising in the background, streaking across the screen before disappearing in the foreground.”

But further comments provided by YouTube users bring more relevance:

It appears as a white dot, flattening out something somewhat into a ‘light disk’ right before it disappears off screen,” one commentator wrote.

Whatever the object was, it sure looks as part of a secret military project, or some otherworldly device with capabilities far beyond ours, but both of these options are not attested by modern-day ‘experts.’

Remember folks, there’s no such thing as super-evolved aliens, interdimensional beings, or black-budget programs. This is just a regular sky phenomenon, possibly a dopey bird, bug, golf ball or camera glitch.

Don’t fall for the alien propaganda, else you might have difficulties like the veteran who had posted this video.

UFO does not mean alien, extraterrestrial, spaceship or anything other than unidentified flying object…there was an object…it was flying…did not recognize what the object was… I don’t want you to think I’m an ass…but I have had death threats because of this video,” wrote the channel owner in the comments section after nearly one year from this staggering catch.

Two UFOs Fired Their Thrusters To Harness Energy From a Storm Cloud During a Live Weather Report

Two UFOs with thrusters exhibited a unique spectacle over the sky in Oklahoma, USA, just below an extreme storm front. The entire scene was streamed live by a local television.

The entire scene was caught on live stream by a local news outlet while reporters were discussing about the ongoing storm.

A trivial explanation has been put forward claiming that the sighting was nothing more than bugs on the windshield, but most viewers remained unconvinced since the UFOs had some kind of thrusters which are clearly visible during the video.

Other explanations see the sighting as a pair of daredevils using jetpacks to either test their capabilities during a storm, or to play a hoax on the unsuspecting public.

This kind of technology is not out of reach anymore, with some startups already selling stable jetpack versions to the military, as well as to civilians who can afford this cutting-edge technology.

Of course, many people inside the UFO community have suggested that what we see in the footage are actual alien vessels harnessing energy from the storm clouds.

Although this phenomenon where UFOs were seen hovering above the clouds, possibly recharging their spaceships, is not something new, it remains an enigma why these two alleged alien vessels are hanging around below the storm front and not above it.

The video below shows numerous other examples surprised across the years of UFOs harnessing energy from atop the storm clouds. It’s still unclear what these flying objects are, and it’s perfectly understandable since they cannot be explained with ease, nor compared to any known earthly device.

Before vanishing into the cloud, at the 0:30 mark, another similar UFO is seen in the top left corner just sitting there motionless.

From a more skeptical perspective, the two flying objects could be the product of advanced CGI effects, but since they appeared on live television makes this hypothesis obsolete.

To this day, the nature of the sighting remains unknown and undisclosed. Authorities and the media didn’t pay much attention to what was caught on video, further fueling our beliefs that they are aware of the UFO/alien reality, but are afraid to let us know about it…yet

Whatever the case, this sighting deserves our utmost attention. What do you think to be the case? Baloons? Jetpacks? Huge storm bugs?

From The CIA Files: Researchers Link UFO And ‘Their Heightened Interest’ To ‘The Variety And Wealth Of Useful Minerals’

Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after.”

– Former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer

You might think that Internet conspiracy theorists are the only people who believe in aliens and their frequent visits to the earth. However, a group of Nasa astronauts like

Edgar Mitchell, Gordon Cooper, Deke Slayton, Brian O’Leary thought extraterrestrials exist and that they have been visiting Earth for some time.

“Yes there has been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. We are not alone in the universe; they have been coming here for a long time. I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.”

– Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon

Besides the astronauts, there are governments of many countries who maintain classified documents or top secret documents about the UFOs and extraterrestrial beings. These documents have been released into the public domain along with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. In the United States, the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), the NSA (National Security Agency) and the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) have followed suit proving that these agencies have put in immense resources to study the extraterrestrial phenomenon.

The efforts of many military whistleblowers including the politicians and academics have led the topic of UFOs into the realm of reality from that of conspiracy theory. In fact, some of the people have known about the phenomenon for a long time now.

Countries spy on each other to extract information by using a spectrum of methods. The American government’s STARGATE project investigates the parapsychology and uses their findings to spy on other countries. Similarly, the Snowden leaks threw light on how the US government spies on their citizens, major corporations, foreign and financial establishments.

Hypothesis on Aliens by Various Countries

Many governments have black budget operations called as Unacknowledged Special Access Programs (SAPs) in the United States, and they have zero oversight from the Congress.

A document found online in the CIA’s electronic reading room shows how the CIA gathers intelligence with a joint effort between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the USSR. Almost two decades ago, the scientists from the USSR and PRC revealed a joint study on the UFOs which indicated how global governments investigated UFOs through history.

The Soviet and the specialists from China have come up with a program to investigate known incidents and have also decided to exchange video and photographs directly with each other at Dalnegorsk, the chosen meeting destination. In the last four years, more than 10 UFOs were recorded. Specialists are of the opinion that the aliens are interested in places with an abundance of wealth and other useful minerals. Many such incidents were reported in the mountainous regions of China.

Frequent Alien Visits

The extraterrestrials have allegedly been visiting earth for a long time now. So the thought about aliens invading our planet for resources is unlikely to happen. If they had any invasion planned, like the ones shown in our famous films, it would have happened by now.

There are many stories regarding UFO spacecraft landing, humanoid bodies coming out of a vehicle and aliens exploring natural resources. Many researchers are of the opinion these ETs in reality concerned  about the well-being of our planet. A large number of people who claim to have alien contact experiences or other type of telepathic experiences have shared a similar sentiment.

An incident in the town of Ruwa, Zimbabwe on September 16th, 1994 confirms that aliens have been visiting us for long. In this incident, over sixty school children claim to have seen many flying objects that seemed like spaceships.

Many such stories talk about aliens visiting earth. For instance, Colonel Ross Dedrickson, who maintained the inventory of the nuclear stockpile for the AEC in the 1950s revealed in an interview about some extraterrestrials who were concerned about the well-being of our planet. He had informed about UFOs and their presence around nuclear missile facilities.

How to Tell if a YouTube Video of a UFO Is Fake

A search for "UFO" on YouTube brings over 500,000 returns.^[1] And, after you've managed to sort through that lot to find your favorite, if you're worried that it's too good to be true, your suspicions may be well founded. Not only do you need to believe in the possibility of UFOs (or, at least, be open-minded enough), but you also have to trust the person filming it (possibly more far-fetched in the age of video tricks). Here are some methods to assist you in spotting a potentially fake UFO video on YouTube, or any other video site.

• 1. Discard the obvious fakes before proceeding.  
  These are the UFO videos that are clearly made in elementary school, use Lego men, or state in bold letters (or shout at you), "This is a joke!". Assuming you've already put your powers of critical assessment to work at this stage, it's time to proceed to the next signs that a UFO video might not be for real.

1. 
   2. Look at the UFO closely. 
   There are a number of obvious elements that can help you spot the fake UFO video. Here are some things to pay extra careful attention to:.
   • Can you see any form of attachments to the object that is being claimed as a UFO? For example, strings, wires, stands, etc.
   • Be aware that invisible thread does wonders and can be very hard to spot unless you are looking for it. Look for glints of light off the invisible thread as the video camera rolls away at different angles, etc.
   • Is the UFO moving awkwardly, or with a jitter? Wobbliness tends to be a sign of strings and nerves rather than futuristic flying technology. Imagine trying to keep down a cup of alien brew in a wobbly craft? It's probably fair enough to say that if a plane couldn't fly wobbling or teetering in the way that the UFO has been presented as flying, then it's very unlikely the UFO could either - after all, our atmosphere remains the same for the UFO, let alone the comfort needs of the crew.^[2]
   • Does the UFO suddenly "disappear" without further ado? Do planes, helicopters or hot air balloons just "disappear"? Not usually. Theoretically, a stealth bomber cloak, 3D cloaking, or meta-material might surround the UFO but if so, why bother to reveal at all and then suddenly disappear? Did it get a whiff of the photographer whose importance was probably considerably less than that of paying attention to either landing properly or keeping the flight path straight? The greater likelihood is that the filming got awkward at that point and just stopped, or the painting tool was put to grand use.
2. 
   3. Listen. 
   If there is sound of a UFO in the video, it pays to listen closely as the UFO goes by. How realistic does it sound to you? Or does it remind you of your best friend's attempt at making an alien tune on Garageband late one night?
   • If the UFO in the video makes noise, it's probably a fake. It is difficult to know but it would be assumed that a UFO in real life would be very careful to keep its noise to a minimum. But more than that supposition, use your hearing senses carefully - a lot of sounds can be synthesized but one person's idea of what a UFO should sound like can easily be very corny (copied from a sci-fi film or show), or just really odd.
   • If a soundtrack is included, the video has a higher chance of being fake because it's aimed at creating the atmosphere and emotion, making it much more likely that it is staged. If someone really has filmed a UFO, the excitement of it would probably have them uploading it on well before they'd thought to add some spooky soundtrack and turn it into a "perfect" video!
3. 
   4. Look at the details surrounding the UFO. 
   As the familiar adage says, the devil is always in the details.
   • If the UFO is zooming by some trees, look to see if they blow because of the wind. If they don't, it's fake.
   • Look for shadows. Are there any shadows of the person taking the video, or other nearby objects? This will indicate to you that the video is shot close by on an object near to the person filming, rather than up in the sky. Moreover, shadows at night are less likely unless a direct source of light is shining on the UFO and it's near enough something to throw a shadow.
   • Look for reflections. What sort of reflections do you see? Remember the famous nude photos in kettles of eBay sellers - can you see the camera person in the reflection? If so, they're way too close to their miniature model! Other reflections can also be dead giveaways - anything that's meant to be on the ground, such as a car, will indicate a fake if reflecting in the object.
   • Look for duplicates in the background. For example, look at the trees or power poles as the filmed UFO zooms by. If the trees or power poles present an exact repeating pattern (looping the film), the video is a fake.
   • Does it appear that the object is tracked by a video camera that just seems to know without a doubt the UFO's next move? Or, does the video operator get tired of this and turn off the camera after only filming a few seconds even though the UFO is still in beautiful view?^[3]
4. 
   5. Consider whether the object reminds you of something.
   If it does, it is a possibly a big giveaway of the "object" used to fake the UFO for the filming. Some common objects to be wary of include:
   • The cloud. A conveniently shaped cloud in suitable weather might fit the bill for a clever photographer.
   • Kid's toys. Some can be convincing, others definitely less so.
   • Lights. These really are just too seductive for the amateur fake UFO photographer. From LEDs to bulbs, anything can go, and does.
   • The saucer. Literally. One kid throws it in the air, while the other one starts filming it.
   • Beer (or other) bottles. If it reminds you of a bottle flying through the air, trust your instincts. Throwing a beer bottle at a party can give people ideas if there's a video camera handy.
   • Software clones. Does the object or surrounding objects look just like stuff you've already seen on photo/movie/gaming software?
5. 
   6. Check online for information. 
   Using the claims made in the video, do some online research to verify the claims. Things to look for include:
   • Dates - do the dates match up with other people's recollections of the siting?
   • Are there news stories covering the alleged appearance of the UFO?
   • Is there an article or website debunking your particular video as a clear hoax? For example, there are well-known hoax UFO videos and it's a good idea to discard these from the start before you even get excited about the possibility that your video is real!^[4]

Experts claim there are 3 HOSTILE Alien species visiting Earth

Misinterpreted throughout the centuries as ‘Gods’, here ar 3 of the foremost hostile Aliens that in keeping with ‘experts’ are visiting Earth since time out of mind. 3 Aliens Species Visting earth

The idea that we have a tendency to aren’t solely|the sole} life forms within the universe has captured the imagination and interest of not only scientists however thinkers, historians and different consultants throughout the centuries. 3 Aliens Species Visting earth

One of the primary to talk out regarding alien life was Associate in Nursing Italian Dominican religious, philosopher, scientist, poet, and cosmological intellectual philosopher. 3 Aliens Species Visting earth

He is remembered for his cosmological theories, that conceptually extended the then novel Copernican model.

Bruno planned that the celebrities were simply distant suns enclosed by their own exoplanets and raised the chance that these planets may even foster lifetime of their own (a philosophical position referred to as cosmic pluralism).

Bruno conjointly insisted that the universe is actually infinite and will haven’t any natural object at its “center”.

Bruno said: “There square measure incalculable suns and incalculable earth’s all rotating around their suns in just a similar manner because the seven planets of our system. we have a tendency to see solely the suns as a result of {they square measure|they’re} the most important bodies and are lucent, however their planets stay invisible to United States as a result of they’re smaller and non-luminous. The incalculable worlds within the universe aren’t any worse and no less populous than our earth. For it’s completely unreasonable to suppose that those swarming worlds that square measure as glorious as our own, maybe additional thus, and that relish the fructifying rays of a sun even as we tend to do, ought to be uninhabited and may not bear similar or maybe additional good inhabitants than our earth.” 3 Aliens Species Visting earth

Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake in Rome’s Campo de’ Fiori in 1600.

However, he wasn’t the sole one to possess spoken out regarding alien life. Throughout the centuries, incalculable students have questioned whether or not or not there square measure others out there.

“There is swarming proof that we have a tendency to square measure being contacted, that civilizations are watching United States for a really durable. That their look is off-the-wall from any sort of ancient materialistic western purpose of read. That these guests use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for his or her propulsion systems, that looks to be a standard divisor of the UFO development.” (source) – Dr. Brian O’Leary, Former independent agency spaceman and Princeton physics academic.

Today, at a time once technology has allowed United States to explore the universe like ne’er before, many folks square measure convinced that we have a tendency to aren’t alone. Not solely that, however immeasurable individuals round the globe square measure convinced that till today, we have a tendency to ar being visited by beings that aren’t from our planet.

Advanced civilizations that is thousands of years before us—technologically—who have compete an especially necessary role within the development of humanity throughout the centuries.

So WHO ar these beings? is they benign? is they Hostile? If thus, wherever are they?

Considering the actual fact that there are a minimum of hundred billion galaxies even as previous because the Milky Way, and every one of them have a mean of a hundred BILLION Suns per galaxy, most of them with planets the same as Earth orbiting them, one will say that intelligent life sure should exist somewhere.

THE UNEXPLAINED specialists claim there are three HOSTILE Alien species visiting Earth
By Ancient Code SHARE TWEET nine COMMENTS

Misinterpreted throughout the centuries as ‘Gods’, here are 3 of the foremost hostile Aliens that in keeping with ‘experts’ are visiting Earth since yesteryear.

The idea that we tend to aren’t solely|the sole} life forms within the universe has captured the imagination and interest of not only scientists however thinkers, historians and alternative consultants throughout the centuries.

One of the primary to talk out concerning alien life was a Italian Dominican religious, philosopher, man of science, poet, and cosmological theoriser Giordano Bruno.

He is remembered for his cosmological theories, that conceptually extended the then novel Copernican model.

Bruno projected that the celebs were simply distant suns encircled by their own exoplanets and raised the likelihood that these planets may even foster lifetime of their own (a philosophical position referred to as cosmic pluralism).

Bruno conjointly insisted that the universe is in reality infinite and will haven’t any natural object at its “center”.

Bruno said: “There are infinite suns and incalculable earth’s all rotating around their suns in barely identical manner because the seven planets of our system. we tend to see solely the suns as a result of {they area unit|they’re} the biggest bodies and are aglow, however their planets stay invisible to us as a result of they’re smaller and non-luminous. The incalculable worlds within the universe are not any worse and no less thickly settled than our earth. For it’s completely unreasonable to suppose that those abundant worlds that area unit as brilliant as our own, maybe additional thus, and that fancy the fructifying rays of a sun even as we tend to do, ought to be depopulated and may not bear similar or perhaps additional good inhabitants than our earth.”

Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake in Rome’s Campo de’ Fiori in 1600.

However, he wasn’t the sole one to possess spoken out concerning alien life. Throughout the centuries, incalculable students have puzzled whether or not or not there area unit others out there.

“There is extensive proof that we tend to area unit being contacted, that civilizations are watching America for a really durable. That their look is unconventional from any style of ancient materialistic western purpose of read. That these guests use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for his or her propulsion systems, that looks to be a standard divisor of the phantasm development.” (source) – Dr. Brian O’Leary, Former NASA traveler and Princeton physics academic.

Today, at a time once technology has allowed America to explore the universe like ne’er before, many folks area unit convinced that we tend to aren’t alone. Not solely that, however voluminous folks round the globe area unit convinced that till nowadays, we tend to area unit being visited by beings that aren’t from our planet.

Advanced civilizations that area unit thousands of years before us—technologically—who have vie a very necessary role within the development of humanity throughout the centuries.

So WHO ar these beings? ar they benign? ar they Hostile? If therefore, wherever ar they?

Considering the very fact that there ar a minimum of hundred billion galaxies even as recent because the Milky Way, and every one of them have a median of a hundred BILLION Suns per galaxy, most of them with planets almost like Earth orbiting them, one will say that intelligent life sure enough should exist somewhere.

Many authors would agree that it’s safe to mention that there’s a minimum of one intelligent civilization per galaxy. There ar a minimum of 100 billion galaxies because the Milky Way. Do the mathematics.

UFOlogists and paranormal researchers agree that throughout the years Earth has been visited, and there’s ample historical proof that supports this claim.

Confused as ‘Gods’, varied ancient cultures round the globe indicate however ‘extremely advanced beings’ visited Earth, returning from the celebrities.

The Annunaki

Are the traditional Enuki the primitive in our amnesic history?

If we tend to take a glance at ancient Mesopotamian history we’ll realize proof of the alleged Enuki.

The Anunnaki ar believed to be the creators of Man. These mighty Gods left Earth within the distant past, oral communication that in the future, they shall come back to Earth. Curiously, if we glance at ancient cultures round the globe, most of their Gods—Creator Gods—left Earth and secure to come back in the future.

According to later Assyrian and Babylonian story, the Enuki were the youngsters of Semitic deity and Ki, brother and sister gods. The Enuki seem within the Babylonian creation story, Enuma Elish. The Enuki ar mentioned within the Epic of Gilgamesh once Semitic deity tells the story of the flood. There ar four primary gods: Semitic deity, Enlil, Enki and Ninhursag.

Many researchers firmly believe that supported varied discoveries, the Enuki (Sumerian: “those WHO decreased from the heavens), a extremely advanced civilization from Associate in Nursing elusive planet in our system, came to Earth, landing within the Persian Gulf some 432,000 years agone. They created man as a slave race to assist them mine gold. Eventually, the Enuki left Earth, effort their creation behind promising to come back in the future.

3. The Reptiles

Throughout history, we’ve got detected tales regarding these strange wanting creatures that apparently live among us on Earth. There square measure such a big amount of stories regarding reptilian entities each within the past and within the gift as if these beings were since the start of your time gift on our planet. History talks regarding them and modern-day sightings have become a lot of and a lot of frequent. There are stories of beings half-human, half-reptile for hundreds of years, however is that this simply the results of human imagination or is there one thing a lot of regarding these strange beings that have conquered our History texts.

Looking back in history, we discover many tales regarding extraterrestrial beings, that were worshiped by our ancestors. In South America, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan square measure a number of the gods that square measure well, reptilian beings worshiped as gods. Quetzalcoatl could be a Mesoamerican immortal whose name comes from the Nahuatl language and suggests that “feathered serpent” The worship of a feathered serpent is 1st best-known documented in Teotihuacan within the 1st century BCE or 1st century Ce.

According to ufologists, they live regarding four meters tall and square measure characterised as glorious warriors and have an especially stratified and competitive political – military system. They even have an excellent psychic power  }prey on negative energies like concern and hate, thus, they’re thought of ” regressive ” and were thought of before as “demons.”

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.
