Right now, Donald Trump is the United States President, Brexit is (probably) happening and four- yes, four - Kardashians might be pregnant. 

If 2017 has proven anything, it's that the truth is often stranger than fiction.

And now there is a chance for it to give alien movies a run for their money.

One Redditor posted an image from NASA's Opportunity Rover.

Although the snap was taken way back in 2005, they've got a brand new theory:

Uh nasa? UFO Caught on Mars Rover Mission? Is this real? 

Let's just skip over the whole NASA-staff-are-highly-qualified-and-you're-a-randomer-on-the-internet detail for a second and enjoy suspending our disbelief.

We all deserve a break from real life, ok?

Read this vaguely convincing description from user EdisonVonneZula if you need help keeping reality at bay.

It should do the job for a few more seconds, at least: 

Looks like light glimmering off of a genuine spaceship on an alien planet in outer planet iun outserspace. 

Blissful fantasy feels good, right?

Love how skeptival the mods are.

You could have aliens waving hi through the windshield and it would be flagged as likely prosaic. 

Yeah, NASA and their Photoshopping of images to hide the facts. An infamous pairing. 

After all, it does actually look like it was made by some kind of intelligent species.

What else could it be but aliens? 

You could, we suppose, argue it's entry debris. 

Thankfully, redditors have devised clever work-around to help out the non-believers. 

User spatial circumstances wrote:

to be fair, that does literally make a photo of a wrecked alien spacecraft

And redditor KaneinEncanto agreed:

Essentially it is. Alien to Mars. 

See? We have found aliens.

They just happen to be us.  

And because we're still not entirely sure, this means the object is literally a crashed Unidentified Flying Object!

So, we can cling onto that: even if it's not alien, it's still a UFO. Which is just as good. Kind of.

Tom DeLonge Is Still More Interested In Aliens Than He Is In Blink-182

by PETER CLARK

Even when Tom DeLonge was guitarist and co-vocalist for Blink-182, his interest in outer space and aliens was well documented, right down to a song called “Aliens Exist.” But since he split with the band in 2015, his preoccupation with the otherworldly has essentially become a full-time job. He’s gone on record saying he believes his life is in danger because he knows too much about UFOs, won a UFO award complete with a wild acceptance speech, and started work on a feature film about a battle between aliens and skaters. Now, he’s turning an obsession into a legitimate company.

“What if scientists were given resources to investigate the boundaries of traditional theory?” he asks in a video seeking investors for his newest alien endeavor, To The Stars Academy Of Arts And Science. To The Stars aims to unite religious scholars, archeologists, government officials, physicists, and aerospace engineers to a common cause, essentially figuring out what is beyond our own planet and working towards understanding it. In the eyes of DeLonge and his collaborators, this is an area that is neglected by our current government, so private funding is the only way to the truth that he believes is out there.

Of course, To The Stars is a further example that Blink-182 is the last thing on this dude’s mind. And as it turned out with their previous album without DeLonge, the successful 2016 LP California, Blink is also doing just fine without their co-founder.

Watch the To The Stars Academy Of Arts And Science video above and, if you have excess disposable cash or are really buying in to this alien thing, visit their website to donate to the cause.

NASA Press Release Says Our Solar System Has a 9th Planet

 

ESO/Tom Ruen/nagualdesign

IN BRIEF

NASA has stated that it's quite likely that our solar system is home to a massive, distant ninth planet. Its existence could shed light on some burning questions about the cosmos.

PLANET NINE

Earlier this month, NASA issued a press release stating that it’s likely that our solar system has a ninth planet—even if it’s proving difficult to find.

The planet could have a mass ten times that of Earth’s, and be situated twenty times as far from the sun as Neptune. It’s being referred to as “Planet Nine,” and while it’s very difficult to procure clear evidence of its existence, some scientists are absolutely convinced that it’s out there.

“There are now five different lines of observational evidence pointing to the existence of Planet Nine,” said Konstantin Batygin, a planetary astrophysicist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), who is part of a team on the search for the planet.

“If you were to remove this explanation and imagine Planet Nine does not exist, then you generate more problems than you solve. All of a sudden, you have five different puzzles, and you must come up with five different theories to explain them.”

THE EVIDENCE

In a 2016 paper, Batygin and co-author Mike Brown detailed six known objects in the Kuiper Belt that behave rather strangely. All of them have elliptical orbits pointing in the same direction, and all of those orbits are tilted the same way. Both of these traits serve as clues to the presence of Planet Nine.

Computer simulations that took the hypothesized planet into account indicated that there should also be several other bodies with more extreme tilts from the solar plane, on the order of 90 degrees. Brown realized that astronomers are already aware of five such objects, meaning nature did fit with the simulations.

Planet Nine would also explain why the plane in which the other planets orbit is tilted about six degrees away from the sun’s equator: over time, Planet Nine’s distant gravity has made the entire solar system plane wobble away from center.

Finally, there are the objects in the Kuiper belt that orbit in the opposite direction of everything else in our solar system.

“No other model can explain the weirdness of these high-inclination orbits,” explained Batygin. “It turns out that Planet Nine provides a natural avenue for their generation. These things have been twisted out of the solar system plane with help from Planet Nine and then scattered inward by Neptune.”

Based on the behavior of these distant objects, the astronomers believe the planet to be a Super-Earth, a massive rocky planet that is extremely common in the universe—but which our solar system, oddly, lacks. The planet could have coalesced out in the cold reaches of our system over millions of years, formed close to the sun and then been flung outward, or even been captured by the Sun from another system.

Batygin and Brown are using the Subaru Telescope at Hawaii’s Mauna Kea Observatory to continue their search for Planet Nine. According to Batygin, this telescope is the best tool available to hunt down something dim and distant in the vast expanse of sky.

However, Planet Nine isn’t the only explanation for the orbital behaviors observed. A recent survey of the outer solar system found over 800 trans-Neptunian objects. A random distribution of this matter could also potentially have the same effect on the tilt on the traits observed in various orbits—but the jury is still out.

5 Archaeological discoveries NO ONE can explain

The Inga Stone. Image credit Wikipedia

All over the world, experts have found countless puzzling monuments, artifacts, and places that have remained a mystery ever since their discovery. Some of these findings literally rewrite history as we know it.

Countless theories have been proposed throughout the years trying to explain some of them, however, not even the best scholars can agree on the purpose, reason and building process of some of these sites/structures.

In this article, we take a look at FIVE discoveries that still continue to baffle experts

1. Stonehenge

One of the best-known ancient sites—other than the Pyramids of Giza—is without Stonehenge. This prehistoric ancient monument is one of the most famous landmarks on Earth. Curiously, it is also one of the most mysterious.

The intricate set of stones was built around 4,000 years ago and is considered as one of the most impressive feats for primitive man who was able to erect it. Not a single archaeologist has successfully explained how it was built. Interestingly, the how isn’t perhaps as mysterious as the why.

Countless theories have tried explaining the real purpose of Stonehenge, yet experts have still failed to agree on one.

Was Stonehenge an Astronomical observatory? Was it a religious temple? Was it burial site? We still do not know.

2. Gobekli Tepe

Discovered in 1994, Gobekli Tepe has pushed history to the point of where we need to rewrite everything we thought we knew about our ancestors.

The discovery of Gobekli Tepe has raised countless questions about the evolution of civilization and complex societies that may have existed tens of thousands of years ago.

This ancient site is believed to be at least 12,000 years old, meaning that it predates Stonehenge by around 6,500 years and the Pyramids at Giza by around 7,000 years.

The main structures of Göbekli Tepe are a series of three rectilinear structures which are located below the surface, defined by dry-stone walls, and containing multiple decorated T-shaped pillars. The stones were used mainly as support for the roof, although it cannot be excluded that these had a symbolic purpose.

To date, experts have still NO IDEA who built this massive, fascinating site around 12,000 years ago. Göbekli Tepe is considered the world’s first temple. Most of this ancient site still remains buried. Whoever built it, made sure the complex would survive along thousands of years, by backfilling the various sites and burying them deep under. So far, excavations and geomagnetic results revealed that there are at least 20 stone circles –temples— on the site. All of the pillars at Göbekli Tepe are t-shaped and range in height from 3 to 6 meters.

3. The Cochno Stone

The Cochno Stone is a mysterious, 5,000-year-old slab discovered in 1887 by the Rev. James Harvey. It features around 90 carved indentations, considered to be one of the finest sets of petroglyphs in Scotland. There is no consensus among archaeologists on the meaning of the intricate symbols found on its surface. Is it perhaps a map of the sky or the earth? An altar where rituals were held? According to some experts, represent an ancient cosmic map. The incredible markings are reminiscent of enormous crop circles that have so often been attributed to extraterrestrial civilizations. Interestingly, other similar slabs have been found in the north of Spain, Mexico, Greece and even in India.

4. The Inga Stone

Another mind-bending discovery is the so-called Inga Stone discovered in Brazil.

Believed to date back around 6,000 years, stands the Inga Stone, aka Itacoatiara, do Ingá. The Inga stone covers an area of two-hundred and fifty square meters. It is a vertical construction of 46 meters long and up to 3.8 meters high. The Inga stone displays carvings that are even today waiting to be deciphered. Researchers have found several carvings, figures, fruits, animals and other unknown figures, but most importantly carved on the Inga stone are the Milky Way and the constellation of Orion. Archaeologists state that the engravings on the stone have been performed with incredible precision and the details reveal a superb technique used by very skilled artists who certainly were very gifted and capable of creating these amazing engravings.

5. The MASSIVE Stone structure beneath the Sea of Galilee

Underwater Cairn Sonar The conical pile of rubble is approximately 70 meters (230 feet) in diameter. Shmuel Marco

Beneath the Sea of Galilee is a MASSIVE mysterious cone-shaped structure made of “basalt stones and u 10 meters and a diameter of approximately 70 meters, the structure is a massive mystery. Scientists believe that in order to build a structure like this, its creators had to invest a lot of hours of work in an organized community effort. How they managed to transport the megalithic blocks of stone is a question that no one has been able to explain. Archaeologists argue that judging by what they have been able to see, its builders belonged to a “complex and well-organized society” with “skills in economic planning.”

Supervulkaan onder VS kan veel sneller uitbarsten dan eerst gedacht - HLN.be

• Bron: NY Times; Independent

WEERNIEUWS Onder het Yellowstone National Park in de Amerikaanse staat Wyoming ligt een reusachtige vulkaan. Aanvankelijk dachten wetenschappers dat het een kwestie van verschillende eeuwen of zelfs millennia was vooraleer die supervulkaan zou uitbarsten, maar volgens een nieuwe studie zou dat veel vroeger kunnen gebeuren. De gevolgen van een uitbarsting zouden niet te overzien zijn.

De vulkanische activiteit onder Yellowstone maakt van het park een trekpleister. Jaarlijks bezoeken 3 miljoen toeristen het oudste nationale park ter wereld om er de honderden geisers en duizenden warmwaterbronnen te bezichtigen. De supervulkaan onder het park zou de eerste eeuwen niet uitbarsten, maar volgens een nieuwe studie klopt dat niet.

Geen millennia, maar decennia

Gemiddeld barst de supervulkaan onder Yellowstone om de 600.000 jaar uit, de laatste grote uitbarsting dateert van 631.000 jaar geleden. Wetenschappers maakten zich tot voor kort geen zorgen, omdat ze dachten dat de eerste tekenen van een eventuele uitbarsting millennia op voorhand zichtbaar waren. Maar volgens nieuwe bevindingen gaat het om amper enkele decennia.
Lees verder onder de foto.

De factoren die mee bepalen of een supervulkaan uitbarst, kunnen veel sneller veranderen dan gedacht. De meest recente uitbarsting van de vulkaan onder Yellowstone (die van 600.000 jaar geleden) werd in gang gezet toen een nieuwe lading magma naar een van de vulkaankamers werd geduwd. Dat proces duurde slechts enkele tientallen jaren en geen eeuwen zoals eerder werd verondersteld.

“Schokkende ontdekking”

“We hadden verwacht dat dergelijke processen duizenden jaren voor een superuitbarsting in gang werden gezet”, zegt de Amerikaanse geologe Christy Till. “Een uitbarsting van een supervulkaan kan dus eigenlijk ontstaan in slechts één mensenleven. Het is schokkend in hoe een korte tijdspanne een slapende vulkaan kan worden wakker gemaakt.”

Wat als?

Wat als het ooit tot een uitbarsting komt? De vulkanische hotspot onder Yellowstone is veel krachtiger dan de doorsnee vulkaan. De supervulkaan kan meer dan 1.000 kubieke kilometer rotsen en as in één keer uitspuwen. Mocht de vulkaan ooit uitbarsten, dan zou de VS volledig onder as worden gelegd. Het zou ook een vulkanische winter in gang zetten, waardoor de aarde drastisch zou afkoelen. Veel leven op aarde zou daardoor uitsterven.

Wanneer?

Het exemplaar onder Yellowstone is niet de enige begraven supervulkaan op aarde. Wetenschappers hebben berekend dat elke 100.000 jaar een supervulkaan kan uitbarsten. Het is nog een raadsel of en wanneer een dergelijke vulkaan tot uitbarsting komt. Till hoopt met extra onderzoek nieuwe uitbarstingen te kunnen voorspellen.

NASA GEEFT EINDELIJK TOE: ONBEKENDE PLANEET IN ONS ZONNESTELSEL ( VIDEO )

Op permanente basis werden tot op heden "complotdenkers" door NASA voor gek verklaard omdat deze groep beweerde dat er een onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel verkeert. 

En nu, opeens, verrast deze zelfde NASA de wereld met de mededeling dat er zich dus wel degelijk een onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel bevindt. Wij noemen die planeet al jaren Nibiru of Planet x.

Ons leven is niet gemakkelijk. Hard werken en weinig inkomsten. Misschien hadden we een ander beroep moeten kiezen en waarzegger moeten worden, want keer op keer blijkt dat wat wij schrijven en waardoor we vaak voor gek worden verklaard, later toch feilloos klopt.

Hoeveel mensen hebben in de loop der jaren deze website niet proberen te ridiculiseren omdat wij altijd hebben geschreven dat er zich een onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel bevindt?

Zoals het volgende soort proza bij een bekende overheidsdienaar:

Niburu haalt ook weer een 'onderzoeker' aan zonder al teveel overtuigende referenties, die denkt dat de planeet eind dit jaar eindelijk zichtbaar zal zijn. 'Naast alle andere, inmiddels bekende, verschijnselen zoals sterk toenemende vulkanische uitbarstingen, aardbevingen en meteoren, spreekt hij ook van torenhoge vloedgolven die de aarde zullen teisteren.' Het einde der wereld, dus, beter laat dan nooit, drie jaar na 2012.

En dat niet alleen: 'De enorme bedragen die in Amerika zijn verdwenen (...) en waarvan niemand weet waar ze zijn gebleven, zijn gebruikt voor ondergrondse schuilplaatsen.' Niemand weet waar ze zijn gebleven, behalve dan Niburu ('blijvend actueel en altijd op de hoogte').

En nu, plotsklaps, verschijnen het volgende soort berichten in Engelse media:

Het verhaal begon januari vorig jaar met het volgende:

Prong 1 begon begin vorig jaar met de mededeling dat astronomen een onbekende Planet Nine in ons zonnestelsel hadden ontdekt: 

Ons zonnestelsel heeft hoogstwaarschijnlijk toch negen planeten. Astronomen hebben sterk bewijs gevonden voor het bestaan van een nieuwe planeet. De planeet is ongeveer tien keer zo zwaar als de aarde en bevindt zich in een baan ver achter die van Neptunus. 

De Amerikaanse astronomen Konstantin Batygin en Mike Brown van het California Institute of Technology publiceerden het resultaat woensdag in vakblad The Astrophysical Journal. Ze ontdekten de nieuwe planeet door te kijken naar de beweging van zes kleine objecten in de buitenste regionen van het zonnestelsel. Deze objecten beschrijven allemaal een baan rond de zon, terwijl ze te klein zijn om op zo’n enorme afstand een stabiele omloopbaan te hebben

Prong 1 is een uitdrukking afkomstig van Nancy Lieder van Zetatalk, waarmee zij de stappen aangeeft die genomen zullen worden om het bestaan van een onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel te introduceren bij de bevolking. Prong 2 was de volgende stap en die bestond uit het regelmatig bekendmaken van NASA dat er ergens onbekende planeten waren ontdekt.

Prong 3 was het volgende en zou volgens Nancy ergens in de loop van dit jaar gebeuren:

Nancy verwacht ook dat gedurende Prong 3 bekendgemaakt zal worden dat men een zogenaamde exoplaneet heeft ontdekt in een retrograde omloopbaan in de buurt van onze zon.

En nu komt er dus een mededeling van NASA dat er niet alleen een soort superaarde moet zijn met een gewicht tien keer dat van onze aarde, maar ook dat deze zo'n krachtige invloed heeft dat het ons complete zonnestelsel heeft laten kantelen.

In een verklaring zegt NASA het volgende: "Het kan rondhangen aan de verre uiteinden van ons zonnestelsel en zich in het donker verborgen houden, maar toch subtiel in de achtergrond aan de touwtjes trekken: de omloopbanen van de buitenste planeten langer maken en zelfs het laten kantelen van het zonnestelsel naar één kant".

En verder: "De tekenen zijn tot nu indirect, het betreft vooral een zwaartekracht voetafdruk, maar alles met elkaar telt het toch op tot een overtuigende zaak".

Natuurlijk zal het nu nog enige tijd duren voordat het volledige beeld officieel bekendgemaakt zal worden, maar dit is een enorme stap voorwaarts voor hen die het willen zien.

Want ondanks deze schokkende onthulling die sinds het begin van de jaren tachtig altijd door NASA is ontkend, zullen er ook nu weer de nodige geruststellende geluiden volgen.

Trap er niet in, NASA wist natuurlijk al veel langer dat deze onbekende planeet bestond en daarom hierna nogmaals een deel uit een artikel dat wij enkele jaren geleden schreven.

Terwijl de wereld zo langzamerhand letterlijk uit haar voegen barst vanwege onb(g)ekende krachten die op haar inwerken, kunnen de bewoners weer rustig verder slapen. Althans volgens dit soort boodschappen.

Dit moet heel geruststellend nieuws voor de grote massa zijn want het blijkt allemaal een fabeltje en wel omdat NASA zegt dat de planeet definitief niet bestaat: 

“Al tientallen jaren gaan er geruchten dat zich voorbij de omloopbaan van Pluto een onbekend en groot object zou schuilhouden, een wereld die verschillende namen heeft gekregen, zoals Planet X, Nemesis, Tycho en Niburu (redactie: Nibiru). Deze geruchten kunnen nu definitief de prullenbak in: NASA’s Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) heeft uitgewezen dat zich geen gasplaneten bevinden binnen 26.000 AU vanaf de zon (1 AU is de afstand tussen de aarde en de zon).” 

Naarmate de planeet Nibiru dichterbij komt en de verstoringen op aarde heftiger worden, zul je dergelijke berichten wel vaker gaan lezen.

Zoals wij enkele weken geleden schreven: 

“Als jij behoorde bij de elite en je wist wat er zou staan te gebeuren, zou je dan willen dat de rest van de mensheid dit wist? Met het risico dat de wereld die jij zo graag onder controle hebt, in totale anarchie vervalt? Dat is namelijk de reden dat de bevolking wordt gehypnotiseerd en afgeleid, terwijl de tekenen om ons heen steeds duidelijker worden.” 

Het is alsof wij met z'n allen op het hellende dek van de Titanic staan, terwijl de boeg al onderwater ligt. Dan klinkt er door de luidsprekers: “Er is helemaal niets aan de hand want de kapitein zegt dat het schip níet lek is”. 

Het aantal mensen dat zelf nadenkt is helaas relatief gezien nog klein. Zij die dat wel doen, zullen hebben geconstateerd dat de heftigheid waarmee onze aarde op dit moment tekeer gaat niet eerder is voorgekomen in de ons bekende historie. 

Mensen die nadenken zullen zich afvragen hoe het kan dat gerenommeerde astronomen tot ongeveer het midden van de jaren tachtig ervan overtuigd waren dat de planeet Nibiru werkelijkheid was. 

Zij zullen zich eveneens afvragen hoe het kan dat op 30 december 1983 er een artikel wordt gepubliceerd door de Washington Post, waarin letterlijk staat de planeet Nibiru is ontdekt door de IRAS infrarode telescoop van NASA.

Het verhaal gaat nog veel verder terug, want zoals wij schreven in een artikel over de beroemde Chileense astronoom Carlos Munoz Ferrada: 

“Ruim 43 jaar voordat de infrarode Iris telescoop van NASA in 1983 een onbekende planeet had ontdekt volgens een artikel in de Washington Post, sprak Ferrada hier al over. Dat is zefs ruim 36 jaar voordat in 1976 het beroemde boek van Zecharia Sitchin “De Twaalfde Planeet” verscheen”. 

Zelfs nog voordat Ferrada kwam met zijn theorie over de onbekende planeet met een elliptische omloopbaan, verschenen er al verhalen in wetenschappelijke tijdschriften, zoals te zien in de volgende korte video:

Waren al deze bekende en minder bekende astronomen tot aan het midden van de jaren tachtig dan volkomen incompetent en wisten ze niet wat ze deden? 

Nee, dat waren ze niet, want ze waren heel goed op hun vakgebied. Zo goed waarschijnlijk dat ze zelfs zonder al onze moderne apparatuur de spijker op de kop sloegen. Na het midden van de jaren tachtig gaan wat NASA en overheden betreft de luiken naar beneden en komt er geen enkele informatie vanuit die bronnen omtrent Nibiru meer naar buiten. 

Wel beginnen ze vanaf die tijd als gekken te graven voor het creëren van gigantische ondergrondse schuilplaatsen. Ook beginnen vanaf ongeveer het begin van deze eeuw de aardveranderingen serieuze vormen aan te nemen, met natuurgeweld dat ieder jaar heftiger wordt. 

Nu zijn we in een periode aanbeland waarbij de leiders van deze wereld zich in alle opzichten gedragen als losgeslagen psychopaten die het helemaal niets kan schelen dat er nog generaties na ons komen. 

Een periode waarin tektonische platen verschuiven en zelfs breken, waar onder het aardoppervlak enorme krachten werkzaam zijn wat onder andere zichtbaar wordt door de schrikbarend toename van vulkaanuitbarstingen wereldwijd. 

Ondertussen speelt het strijkje op het dek van de Titanic rustig verder.

Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden: We Are Aliens Coming From A Different Planet!

Recently Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden has been interviewed by Good Morning Britain in which he talks about space Travel and Alien Visitation to Earth.

During the interview Al Worden states that we came from somewhere else. Al believes that we are an alien race that traveled to earth from a different planet.

Al: “There is another Earth, there is no question about that and they ‘the aliens’ are out there, maybe 3.2 light years away from Earth.”

With his ‘disclosure’ statement that we actually are descendants from an alien race that previously occupied another planet, he follows other astronauts who already told the world about ‘Alien Visitation’ to Earth.

Oh, Russia, don’t ever change. The “former” evil empire seems to be at its old tricks again, launching mystery rockets, waking up its “killer” satellites, and continuing to broadcast encrypted radio messages around the world. Not to mention the whole “alleged” disinformation program which has injected all sorts of chaos into the political systems of Western governments. Now, Mother Russia continues its doctrine of intentional international intrigue with the launch of a strange new experimental capsule to be installed on the International Space Station. What could go wrong?

In Soviet Russia, capsule launch you.

The launch was conducted at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and included routine supplies for astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the ISS such as food, water, and fuel. However, NASA officials spotted an odd capsule being loaded onto the Progress MS-07 that they can’t identify. When NASA officials asked their Russian counterparts what the device might be, they were told only that it is intended for a scientific use and is designed only for a one-way trip. Russian space officials refused to divulge any more information.

Some NASA officials fear the device could have a military purpose, perhaps to calibrate reconnaissance and early warning sensors.

NASA officials are baffled and a bit worried over how tight-lipped the Russians have been about the device. NASA scientists say this is the first time in the two decades of joint US-Russia operation of the ISS that either nation has sent unidentified cargo up to the space station – at least that we know about. The launch of this mystery capsule continues a year of strange happenings aboard the ISS; earlier this year, a mysterious US reconnaissance satellite buzzed the ISS shortly after its launching following a Russian Space agency announcement that they had found unknown “biomaterial” on the outside of the space station. Could a new space race be afoot?

Satellites rarely pass this close to other objects or craft in orbit – especially so soon after their launch.

Perhaps interestingly, the launch of the rocket containing the unidentified cargo was scrubbed at the last minute and rescheduled for October 14th. Does this have anything to do with the fact that NASA spotted the mysterious capsule, or is it mere coincidence? Launches are scrubbed all the time for weather or mechanical malfunctions, after all. Who knows. One thing’s for sure, though: the Cold War ain’t so cold anymore.

Pascagoula alien abduction incident anniversary

Today ! 12-10) marks 44 years since the alleged Pascagoula alien abduction. The incident had news outlets from all over the world coming to Jackson County.

News 25’s Gina Tomlinson sat down with the former deputy who was working the night of October 11th, 1973 when two men claimed they were picked up by a UFO.

Pascagoula Alien Abduction of 1973: Fact or fiction?

It’s been 44 years and people are still wondering: is the Pascagoula alien abduction all a hoax or were two fishermen really picked up by a UFO in Jackson County on October 11th, 1973? Retired Jackson County Deputy Glenn Ryder was working the night the call came into dispatch. “That boy was so upset, he was crying. He was scared to death and literally begging Charles not to talk to us.”

After 42-year-old Charles Hickson and 19-year-old Calvin Parker frantically told deputies they were just abducted by aliens, the two men were brought in for questioning in a room secretly rigged with a tape recorder. Ryder and other authorities left the two men in the room alone. “That boy was still crying, saying ‘don’t talk to them Charles. Those people are going to come back and get us. I’m scared. I’m scared.’ And I when I played it, I knew something was wrong.”

“In Contact” The Pascagoula UFO Abduction. Directed by Charles Hickson · “

According to their story, the aliens first appeared above the Pascagoula River while the two men were fishing off a pier in the area. “He said, ‘I felt something funny and I heard this sound and I looked behind me and there was a flying saucier, and one of them picked me up and took us into the ship.’ And he said ‘I was suspended. I was floating.’”

Ryder says Hickson claimed three aliens examined him while he was in the space craft with what he described as some kind of eye object. “He said ‘I tried to move. I couldn’t run. I was petrified.’”

Ryder says the two men passed lie detectors about the incident. Deputies searched the area for evidence that a spaceship was there and found nothing. “I know something happened. I don’t know what. They had some kind of experience or that boy wouldn’t have cried. There’s no way anyone could act like he was and not be truthful,” said Ryder.

In the early hours of a cold, misty morning on March 17, 1981, SHPD Sergeant Russell Yokum reported a close encounter of the first kind. At 4:03 a.m., Yokum was patrolling Highway 30 west of the Columbia River when he spotted a bright light moving in an easterly direction toward the Portland Airport upriver. While aircraft were known to regularly pass over the area on the way to the airport, the light was unusually bright, so much so that it lit up the river like the sun was “just coming up.”

“I thought it was an aircraft landing light – but it was brighter than a normal landing light would be,” Yokum told The National Inquirer in ‘81.

Convinced the light was not an aircraft, Yokum radioed headquarters and then headed to the county courthouse to view the unidentified flying object from the banks of the Columbia River. A few local citizens and two Oregon State Police officers, Ricky Cade and Tom McCartney, joined him there and Yokum got in contact with Donald Askins via CB radio. Askins lived in a home across the river in Ridgefield, WA, and went by the handle “Lucky 13.” He could not only see the light, but hear it, too. Askins reported an eerie and extremely loud noise that sounded like “a power plant diesel motor and a screeching noise in between.”

Baffled, the officers set up a portable tape recorder 18 inches from their police radio to record their conversation with Askins, and to catch the sound if it happened again. Askins offered to dangle his CB microphone out the window so he could transmit the sound, and the police drove to a nearby bluff that gave them a better view.

“Hey, Lucky!” One of the officers says in the recording. “We’ve got a tape recorder sitting here by our radio whenever you’re ready. We’ll keep her running. If it starts up again, just key up and we’ll record a little bit of it.”

“Okie doke.”

“I just don’t want you to think we had a screw loose.”

“Sometimes, I wonder.”

“Oh, go to bed!”

“Now all it is is just an orange glow. That’s all I can see.”

“It’s like the sun is just coming up.”

“It better not be. It’s awfully early.”

“Awfully early for the sun. I don’t think the sun would just be in that one spot.”

Then, at approximately 4:29 a.m., the light emitted the strange sound again. You can hear it in on a Youtube video entitled “St. Helens Police Department Recorded UFO Sound.” According to the Inquirer, UFO experts had the sound analyzed by acoustical experts. They were equally puzzled.

At 4:43 a.m., having been surrounded by a thick fog that rolled over the river, the light went out. “Then it sounded as if it went up and away,” McCartney recalled to the Inquirer. “And within 30 seconds the fog separated and there was a blue sky shining through. It was eerie.”

It’s a strange story to be sure, and it begs the question, what would happen if aliens actually visited St. Helens? In the spirit of Halloweentown, and all things unusual, we spoke to SHPD Chief Terry Moss to find out.

The Chronicle: Is there an SHPD response plan for UFO sightings in St. Helens?

Chief Terry Moss: We have a whole policy manual but we don’t have an ‘unidentified flying object policy’, no. I’m sure that there are people in the world that believe we have a Bigfoot policy and a UFO policy …

Maybe we should start to work on that.

Chronicle: Are you aware of any UFO sightings during your tenure as chief?

Moss: The one we’re talking about didn’t happen when I was here, but Russ Yoakum was the officer that saw the UFO. He’s now passed away so that story is lost in history. When I came to work here, he was already gone, he didn’t work here anymore, but that story had lived on and been passed on. I’d heard versions of it. At first I was like, “C’mon.” Ya know? And the other guys are like, “No no, seriously, he says he did.” It went out on the radio and TV news channels came out and did stories on it.

Chronicle: Do you have a contingency plan for contact with alien life forms?

Moss: We have access to a service called the Language Line, so if I come across somebody that doesn’t speak English I can dial up this number and have an interpreter on the other side. I can give them the phone and they can help us have a conversation. I’m going to guess an alien probably doesn’t speak English. I don’t know if Language Line is prepared for alien translation but it would be a good place to start, I guess. Klingon and all that, I don’t know if there’s anyone around that actually speaks it, so we’d have to use that Language Line to get past that “take me to your leader” thing.

Chronicle: If the aliens are hostile is the SHPD prepared to defend the city?

Moss: No, our highest-powered rifle would probably be ineffective against their advanced weaponry. I would guess that it would be difficult. Based on all the stuff I know about them, because I’ve watched a lot of TV, we’re not prepared. Laser beams and … yeah, we’ve got nothing for that.

Chronicle: Who would represent St. Helens during contact? You? The Mayor?

Moss: It would have to be the mayor. If they said, “take me to your leader,” I’d take them right to Rick Scholl.

Chronicle: If they were friendly would we set up a situation to welcome them in?

Moss: Yeah, why not? Give them a key to the city or something. That would be a big deal, wouldn’t it? You wouldn’t want to be known as the city that shunned visitors like that. I think you’d have to open the doors and embrace it and share. You know that whole exchange thing where we go live with them for a while and they come live with us for a while? Like sending kids on an exchange mission? Yeah, we should invite them in.

Chronicle: What if one of them wanted to join the police force?

Moss: We are always hiring and we welcome diversity. I’ve got to believe that that would be a huge asset to the organization if we did that.

Chronicle: Do you personally believe in the possibility of alien life?

Moss: The more I think about how big the universe is, I’ve got to believe that there’s somebody out there. In the billions and billions and billions of miles, you’ve got to think there’s something else going on. Are we really it? I don’t know. TV certainly compels us to believe that there are others out there. Or maybe they’re looking at us and they’re shaking their heads going, “Oh my god, what in the world is going on over there on that little blue planet? Stay away from that place. They have Facebook now.”

I-Team: Public company launched to investigate UFOs

I-Team: Public company launched to investigate UFOs

Today, people’s bodies are more perfectly melded with technology than we could have imagined mere decades ago. Superhuman strength, dexterity, and senses are no longer science-fiction — they’re already here.

Though cutting-edge technology offers us a glimpse into the capabilities of enhanced humans in the future, it’s most useful these days as support for people who have been affected by a disability. Cyborg technology can replace missing limbs, organs, and bodily senses. Sometimes, it can even enhance the body’s typical function.

Here are six of the most striking examples of this cyborg present. They show us how far we have already come, and how far we could go in the future.

1. Hearing Colors With An Antenna

Activist and artist Neil Harbisson was born without the ability to see color. In 2004, he decided to change that. He mounted an electronic antenna to the lower back of his skull that turns frequencies of light into vibrations his brain interprets as sound, allowing him to “hear color.” These frequencies are even able to go beyond the visual spectrum, allowing him to “hear” invisible frequencies such as infrared and ultraviolet.

“There is no difference between the software and my brain, or my antenna and any other body part. Being united to cybernetics makes me feel that I am technology,” he said in a National Geographic interview.

His body modification was not always well-accepted: the British government took issue when the antenna showed up in Harbisson’s passport photo. Harbisson  fought the government to keep it in. He won, becoming the first “legally recognized” cyborg.

2. The LUKE Arm

The LUKE Arm (named after Luke Sywalker) is a highly advanced prosthetic that lends the wearer a sense of touch. A specialized motor can provide feedback to mimic the resistance offered by various physical objects — users can feel that a pillow offers less resistance than a brick. With the help of funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the finished design received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 2014.

Electronic sensors receive signals from the wearer’s muscles that the device then translates into physical movement. The wearer can manipulate multiple joints at once through switches that can be controlled with his or her feet.  The first commercially available LUKE arm became available to a small group of military amputees in late 2016. Amputees can now buy the prosthetic through their physicians, but the device is rumored to cost around $100,000.

3. Artificial Vision

In his 20s, Jens Naumann was involved in two separate accidents that shot metal shards into his eyes, causing him to lose his vision. In 2002, at the age of 37, Naumann participated in a clinical trial performed at the Lisbon-based Dobelle Institute in which a television camera was connected straight to his brain, bypassing his faulty eyes. Dots of light combined to form shapes and outlines of the world around him, giving him “this kind of dot matrix-type vision.” The system enabled him to see Christmas lights outlining his home in Canada that year.

Unfortunately, the system failed only after a couple of weeks. And when William Dobelle, the original inventor of the technology, passed away in 2004, he left behind almost no documentation, leaving technicians no instructions for how to repair Naumann’s system. In 2010, Naumann had the system surgically removed, rendering him completely blind once again.

4. Mind-Controlled Bionic Leg

The mindcontrolled bionic leg was first used in 2012 by Zac Vawter, a software engineer from Seattle whose leg was amputated above the knee in 2009. The technology that translates brain signals into physical movement, called Targeted Muscle Reinnvervation (TMR), was first created in 2003 for upper-limb prosthetics. But Vawter’s prosthetic was revolutionary because it was the first leg prosthetic use it.

In 2012, Zac Vawter climbed the 2,100 steps of the Willis Tower in Chicago, with the help of his prosthetic leg. It took him 53 minutes and nine seconds.

5. The bebionic Hand

Prosthetics company bebionic has created some of the most sophisticated prosthetic hands to date. Individual motors move every joint along every digit independently. To help with everyday use, the bebionic has 14 pre-determined grip patterns. Highly sensitive motors vary the speed and force of the grip in real-time — it’s delicate enough for the user to hold an egg between his or her index finger and thumb, and robust enough to hold up to 45 kilograms (99 pounds).

The bebionic hand has been available commercially since 2010. Models released in the years since have improved its battery life, flexibility, and software.

6. The Eyeborg Project

Toronto-based filmmaker Rob Spence decided to replace his missing right eye with a prosthetic equipped with a wirelessly-transmitting video camera. Thanks to a partnership with RF wireless design company and a group of electrical engineers, Spence created a prosthetic eye shell that could house enough electronics in such a small, confined space.

The camera can record up to 30 minutes of footage before depleting the battery. Spence used footage captured by his eye prosthetic in a documentary called Deus Ex: The Eyeborg Documentary.

What’s going on in the skies above North Carolina? Two seemingly separate news stories out of my home state this week are hinting that there might be more going on above our heads than the proverbial ‘they’ are letting on. The mystery began on Saturday, October 7th when residents of Winston Salem, NC heard what has been described as an “earsplitting boom” in the skies overhead. Residents described the noise as a “muffled explosion” that was strong enough to shake the windows and doors of homes in the area. One area man, Eugene Nieto, told local Fox affiliate WGHP that the noise sounded like a bomb:

It sounded like something hit the side of the house. I thought either a truck crashed or something exploded somewhere. It sounded like a legit concussion. It sounded like a bomb.

After searching the area and interviewing local residents, Winston Salem police haven’t a clue what could have caused the deafening boom overhead and are seeking the public’s help in piecing this mystery together. Interestingly, the Winston Salem boom coincided with a similar noise heard above Cairns, Australia heard on the same day. The strangeness doesn’t stop there though. The day after Winston Salem skies were rocked by a seemingly unexplained explosion, a piece of what appears to be an unidentified rocket or aircraft washed up on NC’s shores.

Not the type of shell you’d expect to find the sand.

The debris washed up on the coast in Hatteras Village on NC’s Outer Banks. The object appears to be constructed from metal and some sort of synthetic insulating material and measures roughly 10 feet by 15 feet. The piece is rounded and includes a serial number, and the lack of barnacles on the debris implies it wasn’t in the ocean long before it washed ashore. The leading theory seems to be that the object could be some sort of rocket fairing or nose cone.

After discovering the debris, baffled Hatteras Village residents called the National Park Service who then notified the Air Force. An investigation into its origin is still underway. Could the debris be related to the mysterious boom heard just a few hundred miles inland the night before?

I’m sure these government stooges would love to tell us all about where it came from. No, wait, the opposite of that.

It seems like too big of a connection to rule out as mere coincidence. Is someone or some group launching rockets and keeping it hush-hush? Could this be a piece of an unreported aircraft which has crashed? For now, this one remains a mystery.

History holds many oddities that we may never fully understand, either through incomplete documentation, disinterest at the time, or simply a big question mark that hangs over all. Among these are mysterious tribes of people that have been encountered and confronted in all corners of the globe, often vanishing before we really understand them and leaving us perplexed at just who they were or where their origins lie. One such tribe was a mysterious group of Native Americans who appeared to explorers as something quite European in nature, although their ways and beginnings have always been cloaked in shadows. Known mostly from historical accounts, their origins remain murky, their lineage uncertain, and they are a historical curiosity we may never fully understand.

During the era of early European contact, the native peoples of North America held many curiosities for explorers and settlers coming to this new, wild land. These tribes were numerous, and displayed rich variety between different cultures, as well as myriad languages, customs, and traditions that inspired awe, wonder, curiosity, bafflement, and even fear in the European adventurers who bravely delved into this uncharted new world and tried to tame it. Yet as fascinating as these new peoples were, perhaps the most interesting was an alleged tribe of natives who were said to look decidedly Caucasian in nature.

The first reports of what would come to be known as the Mandan tribe began to trickle out from French explorers in the region of the Missouri River in present-day North and South Dakota in the early 1700s. These natives were said to have rather fair skin and to have red or blonde hair and blue or grey eyes, and indeed especially the women were purportedly so Nordic in appearance that if it were not for their clothing they were said to be nearly indistinguishable from whites. In 1738, the French Canadian trader Sieur de la Verendrye made the first official outside contact with the Mandan and described them as living in 9 villages at a tributary of the Missouri river called the Heart River, and noted that they also exhibited customs that were decidedly more European than the neighboring tribes.

A Mandan chief’s lodge

By 1784 the word had gotten out on this mysterious tribe of blue-eyed Indians, and they were featured in the media, with the August 24, 1784 edition of the Pennsylvania Packet and Daily Advertiser proclaiming that a new tribe of white people had been discovered and that they were “acquainted with the principles of the Christian religion” and “extremely courteous and civilized.” Perhaps one of the more famous of the explorers to come across the Mandan was none other than Lewis and Clark, who visited the tribe in 1804 and described them as “half-white,” as well as peaceful, civilized, courteous, and polite. They also noted that the tribe’s numbers had dwindled significantly due to the frequent small pox epidemics that terrorized them, as well as attacks against them by neighboring tribes, namely the Assiniboine, Lakota, Arikara and the Sioux.

Of course this all led to intense speculation as to what the origins were of this bizarre tribe, and one of the earliest ideas put forward was that they were the descendants of pre-Columbian explorers to the New World. For instance there were many legends from various regions of the present day United States of Welsh speaking natives, perhaps descended from Welsh settlers coming to these shore in the 12th century, in particular a Prince Madoc, who along with his followers was said to have emigrated to America from Wales in about 1170.

One Welsh explorer by the name of John Evans became so convinced that this was the case with the Mandan that he launched an expedition up the Missouri river in 1796 to search for them and prove that their language was derived from Welsh and contained Welsh vocabulary. Evans would trek up the river in the winter of 1796 and he could find no evidence whatsoever of the Welsh influence he had been so sure he would find, forcing him to concede that this was not where the Mandan origins lay. Indeed, he became extremely skeptical that there were any of these legendary “Welsh Indians” at all, saying in a letter to a Dr. Samuel Jones:

Thus having explored and charted the Missurie for 1,800 miles and by my Communications with the Indians this side of the Pacific Ocean from 35 to 49 degrees of Latitude, I am able to inform you that there is no such People as the Welsh Indians.

Mandan tribespeople

Another explorer who believed that the Mandan had European roots, perhaps even Welsh, was the frontiersman and pictorial historian George Catlin, who spent several months with the tribe in North Dakota, living amongst and drawing and painting them in 1832. One of the things that first struck him about these mysterious people was just how European they looked, describing that many of them were nearly white and had light hair and blue eyes, and he also noticed that they had more advanced techniques for manufacturing goods and dwellings, customs, traditions, town layouts, and language vastly different from neighboring tribes. Caitlin would say of the Mandan:

They are a very interesting and pleasing people in their personal appearance and manners, differing in many respects, both in looks and customs, from all the other tribes I have seen. So forcibly have I been struck with the peculiar ease and elegance of these people, together with their diversity of complexions, the various colours of their hair and eyes; the singularity of their language, and their peculiar and unaccountable customs, that I am fully convinced that they have sprung from some other origin than that of the other North American Tribes, or that they are an amalgam of natives with some civilized race.

Even some of the legends of the Mandan people themselves expressly mentioned that they had been descended from a strange white man who had appeared to them aboard a canoe in ancient times after an enormous flood had wiped out everything in sight. They claimed that this stranger had taught them about medicine and had influenced their religion, which oddly featured many of the same beats as Christianity, such as a great flood, a virgin birth, and a child born who could work magical miracles, among others. This was noticed by other later expeditions as well, such as an 1833-34 expedition led by German naturalist A.P. Maximilian, who felt that the similarities between Christianity and the Mandan religion were too close to be mere coincidence. Caitlin would write of this:

It would seem that these people must have had some proximity to some part of the civilized world; or that missionaries or others have been formerly among them, inculcating the Christian religion and the Mosaic account of the Flood.

Another idea on the Mandan origins is that they came from pre-Columbian visitations by Viking explorers. The first official European to ever officially make contact with the Mandan tribe, Sieur de la Verendrye, claimed that at the time he had found a strange runestone with Nordic inscriptions on a riverside near the village. The stone was allegedly sent to France to be studied but it is unclear what happened to the “Verendrye Runestone” after that, and indeed it is uncertain if it ever really existed at all. Unless the stone ever turns up again it remains just as mysterious as the Mandan.

The idea of Vikings in the New World before the days of Columbus has been talked about for some time, with one prevalent and somewhat controversial theory having to do with Eric Thorwaldsson, also more famously known as “The Red,” who established two colonies on the coast of Greenland in 986. The story goes that Eric The Red then abandoned these outposts when the wild, rugged land proved to be too cold and forbidding, and made his way to North America along with the colonists. The theory then claims that the King of Norway is then said to have sent an expedition to the New World to find out what had happened to them, and that this expedition made their way up the rivers to end up in the Dakotas and other areas, after which they became stranded and then assimilated into the native tribes, giving them their Nordic genes.

However, there is very little evidence to prove that Vikings ever actually reached North America. The Verendrye Runestone vanished without a trace and then there is the hotly debated Kensington Runestone, which was a giant slab covered in runes allegedly found by Swedish immigrant Olof Ohman in Minnesota in 1898. In this case the inscriptions claimed that the runes had been created by 14th century Scandinavian explorers, and although the authenticity of the runestone is still debated it has mostly been classified as a hoax by the scientific community.

Mandan tribeswoman

Regardless of where the Mandan really came from the fact is that we will probably never know for sure. In 1838 the tribe was hit by a devastating smallpox epidemic, and although this was a specter they had been haunted by for centuries, this time it was absolutely catastrophic, wiping them out at such a rate that after only a few months there were only an estimated 30 to 140 of them left. With the Mandan teetering on the edge of extinction, enemy tribes swept in and took them as slaves, after which they were assimilated and absorbed.

Consequent intermarriage and interbreeding meant that any unique genetic heritage they may have had was quickly erased, and the last known full-blooded Mandan was a Mattie Grinnell, who died in 1971. Since there are no more full-blooded Mandan left and only an estimated 8 speakers of its language left today, it is difficult to get a grip on their heritage, even with our advanced DNA testing techniques, and their origins and history will likely forever remain shrouded in mystery, leaving us to merely speculate and debate on it.

It is somewhat sad that this tribe disappeared before we were ever able to really comprehend who they were. All we are left with is the tales and accounts from explorers, but other than that their legacy has evaporated into the tides of history. They are a vanished people who sowed bafflement and wonder, but ultimately left numerous questions swirling about them, doomed to a limbo of superstition, speculation, and rumor. Who were these people? Why did they look and act so differently, and what was the meaning behind their strange ways? To the alien explorers just starting to penetrate this wilderness at the time they may have seemed to be baffling anomalies, and interestingly they still are.

Antarctica is the perfect laboratory for collecting data on how our human activity is (presumably) irrevocably changing the Earth for the worse. Over the last few years, all sorts of unexplained and unprecedented changes have been unleashed upon the icy southernmost continent, including rare phytoplankton blooms that have made huge areas of Antarctic ice turn green and huge cracks and fissures spontaneously opening up, prompting hopes that Atlantis might be foundunder the ice. Now, a more worrisome sight has developed and scientists don’t know what to make of it: a huge hole has been seemingly punched right through the continent, miles from the coastline.

The hole is what’s known as a polynya, an area of open water formed in the middle of sea ice.

Due to the large distance between the hole and the coast, scientists do not believe that the normal forces of tidal erosion and glacial shearing are behind this mysterious void.  These polynyas typically form either when warm water vents erode sea ice from below or when oceans currents create pockets of higher salt density, causing that salty ice to sink.

While polynyas are nothing new, the sudden, unexplained formation of this one has some scientists concerned.

In the case of this new polynya, researchers aren’t sure if either of these forces are at work or if this hole represents some new phenomenon altogether. This particular polynya opened once before in the 1970s but closed up before scientists could study it. University of Toronto physicist Kent Moore told Motherboardthat the hole is “quite remarkable” for its size and seemingly spontaneous reappearance:

It looks like you just punched a hole in the ice. This is now the second year in a row it’s opened after 40 years of not being there. We’re still trying to figure out what’s going on.

With so much weirdness afoot on the continent lately, there’s no telling what might be behind the sudden reappearance of the hole. Secret nuclear testing? Some form of higher strangeness? Or could it just be that we are witnessing another symptom of our planet’s runaway changing climate patterns? Which is more terrifying?
