Cosmologists and ET
Cosmologists and ET
Will we ever discover extraterrestrial life, and, if so, what will it look like? Six experts give their best guess.
Brian Cox
NICKY J SIMS / GETTY IMAGES
1: Brian Cox: purple slime
Cox suggests that life in the universe is likely abundant. Intelligent life, however, is another matter.
In his 2015 book Human Universe (written with Andrew Cohen), Cox writes there is a sense of “chemical inevitability” to life in the universe. But he adds that complex life on Earth only arose after the emergence of eukaryotes – cells containing organelles.
Research suggests eukaryotes developed as a result of one primitive cell – called a prokaryote, like a bacterium – absorbing another, two billion years ago. (Mitochondria and chloroplasts are descendants of independent prokaryotes that entered symbiotic relationships with larger cells.)
The advent of eukaryotes on Earth was a vanishingly unlikely development. Cox calls it an “evolutionary bottleneck” and thinks it so unusual that it might have happened only once in the universe.
“One can easily imagine that the 20 billion Earth-like worlds in the Milky Way could all be covered in prokaryotic slime,” he writes. “A living galaxy, yes, but a galaxy filled with intelligence? … I’m not so sure.”
2: Chandra Wickramasinghe: bacteria
Together with the late Fred Hoyle, mathematician, astronomer and astrobiologist Wickramasinghe developed the astrobiological theory known as panspermia, which holds life on Earth was catalysed arrived as microbes travelling through space on meteors and interstellar dust.
He suggests that microbial life may have landed during the Hadean period, four billion years ago, when lots of smallish meteorites smacked into the planet.
In a paper published in August 2017, he suggests ET might also have been deposited on the moon. Recent evidence indicating the presence of water, he says, “reopens the possibility that microbial life might exist close to the lunar surface”.
3: Paul Davies: indescribable
In a 2016 paper, The “Hard Problem” of Life, written with Sara Imari Walker, astrobiologist Paul Davies begins with a well-known problem. Given that all life on Earth arose from a single common ancestor, we have no way of knowing what aspects of it are law-like – found in all life, across the universe – and which are specific only to our own biosphere.
It follows that life elsewhere need not involve Earth-like biology or chemistry. Indeed, write Davies and Walker, it is possible that it “will not ultimately be reducible to known physical principles”.
The pair suggests that the true essential for life is information – which somehow “calls the shots”.
Those things that we assume to be fundamental – replication and metabolism – might be features only of “Earth-like” biologies. There is a risk that should we ever encounter ET, we might not recognise it because we lack “a general-purpose set of criteria for identifying it”.
4:Chris Hadfield: oddly familiar
The retired commander of the International Space Station thinks the bizarre 500 million year-old soft-bodied fossils found in Canada’s Burgess Shale hold some clues.
“It’s so wildly different to the life we’re used to,” he says. “There was such wild experimentation through the four billion years of life on Earth.”
We might find life on Mars, or Enceladus, or Europa, he notes, and it might look like an organism that died out during a mass extinction down here.
“But I might have that completely wrong,” he adds. “Some of the strange examples they came up with on Star Trek might be a better representation.”
5: Jason Wright: highly skilled builders and engineers
Wright, an astrophysicist at Penn State University in the US, suggests we need to be looking for the things ET builds.
He suggests focusing the search for intelligent ET on exoplanets. Rather than look for traces of biology, though, we should look for technology.
We should search for giant machines, which are likely to be “be detectable by their waste heat in the mid-infrared.”
Such structures, he says, could include enormous energy-collectors (known as Dyson spheres), satellites and defensive shields.
Looking for them, he notes, need not be expensive. The search can “piggyback on work likely to happen in the future, anyway, as natural anomalies are discovered in the course of exoplanetary science.”
6: Neil deGrasse Tyson: not huge, and hopefully paying attention
In his book Death By Black Hole (2005), Tyson says microbial life is possibly humming away throughout the universe.
Intelligent life, on the other hand, is likely to be very scarce. However, the Copernican Principle – they key idea that we and our planet are not special – implies it must be around somewhere.
He says ET must be limited to a maximum size. It could not be as big as the solar system –10 light years across. Even assuming nerve impulses at the speed of light “if it wanted to scratch its head, then this simple act would take 10 hours to accomplish.”
Tyson hopes that some intelligent ETs are sending out messages into the cosmos, rather than, like us, scanning in the hope of hearing an alien transmission. If not, he writes, “everybody would be listening, nobody would be receiving, and we would collectively conclude that there is no other intelligent life in the universe.”
ALTON - A strange aerial object was sighted by a group of friends talking on the back deck of a building on Langdon in Alton.
Altonian Ian Whitmore said he sighted the object after midnight Tuesday morning with a group of a few friends. He said it appeared in the southeastern sky, toward the Clark Bridge. Whitmore said he noticed a light in his periphery, but ignored it for as long as a half hour before realizing it was not similar to any plane, planet, star or other atmospheric phenomenon of which he was familiar.
"I was sitting around chatting with some friends and had noticed the light in the sky from my peripheral view, but ignored it for probably 20-30 minutes, until it finally struck me that the light wasn't budging, so it wasn't a plane like I had assumed," Whitmore said in a Facebook message. "We observed it flash red and blue very intensely for another 20 minutes until we decided to look up what the light is."
Whitmore said the unidentified flying object was like "a cop car in the sky." He said it was formless at times, but appeared to be circular. He said it emitted bright flashes of red and blue lights, like "cartoon stars." Whitmore and his friends, being logical skeptics they said, began researching astronomical and meteorological phenomena to find the source of the object.
"After using several sources that utilized Hubble telescope/NASA data, we concluded that the object was not identified currently as a planet or star," he said. "We watched it flash at that rate for several hours by the time it was all said and done. It flashed more intensely in random spurts, but at every moment, remained much brighter and larger than anything else in the sky."
The object was stationary for that entire time, Whitmore said, which would mean it existed within the confines of Earth's atmosphere, not bound by its rotation through the cosmos. The duration of the object's stationary hovering also discounts a suspicion of Whitmore's friend the object was a drone. Most commercial-use drones would have to have recharged batteries to sustain that amount of flight time. Whitmore also said the object was far away.
"However, it was clear this was something that was quite far away," he said. "My final thoughts were that it was either an unidentified star out there in supernova or something; or perhaps something even stranger. The phenomenon was not visible from the exact location the next night at any point. We looked thoroughly."
Calls to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) of Illinois were answered with the assertion the Riverbend area is a hot spot for such activity. He said three reports from Illinois were entered within a few days of Whitmore's sighting.
The night before, a sighting was reported from Hamel, Illinois, which lasted for hours as well. The following is a witness report from the MUFON live sighting map.
On the night of October 15, 2017 at roughly 8:35pm cst my girlfriend and i were driving down Fruit Road in between Edwardsville and Hamel, Illinois in Madison County, 30 minutes outside of St. Louis. we noticed one larger-than-star-sized light in the sky glowing orange and witnessed it remaining motionless in the night sky for roughly 15 minutes before we pulled over on a Frontage Road that parallels Interstate 55. the objects where roughly north/north east of or position when we stopped the car. once parked a second object, appeared in the sky that looked similar but may or may not have been associated with this phenomenon. we began to photograph and film the anomalous floating object in the sky and shortly after recording the original object began to move, at first in an eastward direction and then south east towards our vehicle until it flew directly over head. at this point we witnessed but did not record the previously homogeneous orange glow reveal itself to be a constant orange glow followed by a series of successive lights that flashed in an ordered pattern, appearing to be on the same craft. over the course of the next 3 hours multiple orange glowing objects appeared from the same point on the horizon only follow a similar pattern of hovering then flying in various directions but not necessarily in the same direction as the ones before it. over all 4-5 craft were observed.
Another report from Fenton, Missouri was reported to MUFON on Oct. 15. That report described a different object than either of the Illinois reports.
I was taking our dog for a walk on Sennawood Dr. to Fabick Lane in Fenton, Missouri when at approximately 10:00-10:15pm my dog started barking. I looked up and witnessed a large, dark craft which was long like a cylinder over the treeline with 3-4 emerald to pine green iridescent but non-flashing lights underneath moving from what I believe is the south west to the north east of where I was standing. it appeared to be under a mile away and I witnessed a faint, almost non noticeable beam protruding from the back of the craft but not illuminating the trees, I could see a shadow from the craft on the tree tops but no light hitting them. I did not hear any sound coming from it and my phone shut off and restarted on its own. the object appeared to be moving at about 20-30 mph until it stopped in the distance, then I lost view of it.
A call to NASA regarding the incident was not returned.

When astronauts are sent to the Moon, they'll need to find suitable shelter to survive its environment. According to JAXA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, lava tubes are an excellent option.
THE BEST PLACE TO BE IS UNDERGROUND
Because the moon has no atmosphere and is home to a host of unfriendly occurrences like extreme temperature variation, radiation, and meteorite impacts, astronauts who venture to our nearest neighbor will need to find proper shelter before they can accomplish anything outside of their vehicle. Human-made colonies are still a ways off, if they ever happen, and to create them we would need to use materials naturally occurring on the moon itself and, according to JAXA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the safest form of shelter would be the interior of a lava tube.
Lava tubes may not sound like the safest place for a human to reside, but it should be noted that these tubes become structurally stable once the lava flow has stopped and the newly formed tunnel drains completely. These tubes are also found on Earth, but they usually pale in comparison to the size of lava tubes created on the moon which are often large enough to comfortably house an entire U.S. city.
“It’s important to know where and how big lunar lava tubes are if we’re ever going to construct a lunar base,” said Junichi Haruyama, a senior researcher at JAXA. “But knowing these things is also important for basic science. We might get new types of rock samples, heat flow data and lunar quake observation data.”
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF LAVA TUBES
In order to better understand the moon’s lava tubes, JAXA relied on radar data gathered by the SELENE spacecraft which currently orbits the lunar body. They also consulted with NASA scientists who worked on the 2011 NASA Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission — a mission in which a pair of spacecraft orbited the moon to collect data on its gravitational field. Using GRAIL’s information, the JAXA team was able to cut down the amount of data they needed to sort through and they eventually found evidence of lava tubes near Marius Hills — a set of volcanic domes located on the moon.

“They knew about the skylight in the Marius Hills, but they didn’t have any idea how far that underground cavity might have gone,” said Jay Melosh, a GRAIL co-investigator and Distinguished Professor of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University. “Our group at Purdue used the gravity data over that area to infer that the opening was part of a larger system. By using this complimentary technique of radar, they were able to figure out how deep and high the cavities are.”
Discovering lava tubes is essential to our plans to send people to the moon and eventually, potentially, colonize it. Earlier this month, Vice President Mike Pence said the moon was “a vital strategic goal” that would improve our ability to travel further than ever before. This clearly implies the global goal of reaching Mars, with Elon Musk’s plans of potentially creating habitats on the red planet with his boring drill.
If lava tubes prove to be a worthwhile form of shelter, it will bring us one step closer to learning how to survive in the less than favorable conditions found in our solar system. It’s only a matter of time before humans call another planet, or the moon, “home.”
Latest: Proof That Humans Are Not From Earth, But Aliens Brought Us Here
Latest: Proof That Humans Are Not From Earth, But Aliens Brought Us Here
Ellis Silver has work for a long time to convey his very questionable perspectives to the general visibility. Silver trusts that individuals are not local to the planet Earth and that they were brought here by an exceptionally propelled extraterrestrial animal types, and he trusts he has the confirmation to demonstrate that his hypothesis is valid. The establishment of Silver's contention is that there are profoundly uncommon attributes inalienable to every single person which aggregately propose that the species isn't altogether at home on this planet. For example, the beams of the sun can be unimaginably unsafe, if not deadly to individuals on the off chance that they are presented to it for delayed timeframes. People are additionally stunned, or even blinded by taking a gander at the sun, which does not have all the earmarks of being the situation for different animals on this planet.Human creatures likewise endure a colossal scope of unending medical problems. A standout amongst the most well-known ceaseless medical issue is awful backs which, once more, isn't apparent in some other type of species on this planet
This recommends to Ellis that individuals developed on a planet where the gravitational power was lower. Besides, people additionally encounter other medical issues which come from the body expecting a twenty five hour day – something which has been affirmed by rest specialists. At long last, Ellis focuses to the procedure of human origination, incubation and birth. The procedure in itself is unparalleled in its wastefulness with regards to the set of all animals. It is additionally laden with characteristic perils and represents a genuine wellbeing danger to the mother.
Once more, this isn't a trademark that can be seen in some other species on this planet. Further to this, the human genome presents with an additional 223 qualities which are not clear in some other Earth-local species. People have likewise been unequipped for following the family tree of the species to culmination are as yet pondering the supposed 'missing connection'. Silver composes that the majority of this recommends to him that people developed on an alternate planet.
Theorizing with reference to how the species couldn't have wound up on Earth, he recommended that this planet might be a 'jail planet' as people are an uncommonly vicious species. "We're here until the point that we figure out how to observe the rules, " he composed. At the point when Silver at first discharged his hypothesis into general society space, he was met with boundless mocking and doubt. "It is conceivable to drive a mentor and stallions through a few of his contentions, " said one trenchant commentator. In any case, late disclosures may recommend that there is something in Silver's hypotheses.
A progression of late tests have discovered that when shots are shot into ice blends which are usually found on comets from space they make amino acids, which are simply the building pieces of life. This disclosure has driven specialists, for example, Nir Goldman to presume that it is conceivable that comets were in charge of touching off life on this planet. "These outcomes affirm our prior forecasts of effect amalgamation of prebiotic material, where the effect itself can yield life-building mixes, "
µGoldman said. "These outcomes display a noteworthy advance forward in our comprehension of the root of the building pieces of life. This expands the odds of life beginning and being across the board all through our close planetary system." While these current revelations don't really demonstrate Silver's hypothesis, they do propose that it is totally conceivable that the hereditary premise of people started somewhere else in the universe. This implies Silver's thoughts are not exactly as outlandish as his commentators accept.

Entrance To AREA 51 Underground Found Near Runway?
Entrance To AREA 51 Underground Found Near Runway?
Secret Entrance To AREA 51 Underground Complex?
We received a message from a fan of UFO Seekers, Alex, about new images seen on Google Maps of Area 51. Updated images of the complex is nothing out of the ordinary, but Alex elaborated and said he believes he found a possible underground entrance located right off the main runways at AREA 51!
The area in question may be some kind of retaining wall and might be nothing at all. But we felt they warranted your opinions and comments.
Infamous Black Tower At AREA 51
Here we can see the infamous black tower located at Groom Lake. The images on Google Maps seem to be very clear now. You can see the tower in our Episode named, Traversing Tikaboo Peak To View AREA 51.
Did Something Get Erased At Groom Lake?
Here we can see a glare from a bright object or something has been erased. This area is near the location of the supposed burn pits where AREA 51 employees would burn all trash generated by the top secret facility.
What Do You Think? Underground Entrance?
What do you think the supposed underground entrance is? Is it an entrance to an underground complex hiding UFO technology. UFOs, or aliens?

Filer’s Files #42-2017 UFOs Do Exist - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding UFOs Do Exist, Halloween May Provide Insight into Abductions, Letter from Alenara, Volcanoes have Caused Volcanic Winter, and The US Is Under Attack.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Japan, Nepal, New Zealand, Singapore, and England and Scotland in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding UFOs Do Exist
Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding states,
“More than 10,000 sightings have been reported, the majority of which cannot be accounted for by any “scientific” explanation. I am convinced that these objects do exist and that they are not manufactured by any nation on Earth. I can therefore see no alternative to accepting the theory that they come from some extraterrestrial source.”
Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain. He is considered the mastermind of the successful defense of England from Nazi air power.
Soldier, pilot, wireless pioneer, squadron commander, spiritualist, champion skier, Dowding is perhaps best known as the creator of the first radar-based air defense system the “Dowding System.” and his remarkable management of it throughout the Battle of Britain. He conceived and oversaw the development of an integrated air defense system which included (1) radar (who Dowding was among the first to appreciate), (2) human observers (including the Royal Observer Corps), who filled crucial gaps in the radar), (3) raid plotting, and (4) radio control of aircraft. The whole network was tied together and known as Ground-controlled interception (GCI). He oversaw the creation of Britain’s first eight-gun monoplanes, the Hurricane and Spitfire. Printed in Sunday Dispatch, London, July 11, 1954.
Halloween May Provide Insight into Abductions
I was surprised to learn some startling similarities in ancient folklore of Halloween and modern abduction stories. Apparently, Halloween started with the Druids several thousand years ago who were a great far-reaching priesthood who ruled over a people known as the Celts in ancient England, Scotland and Ireland. The Druids were in control of everything and served as priests, teachers, prophets, doctors, and lawyers. Their interest in the universe and building capabilities suggest they had help from extraterrestrials. The bodies found in the burial mounds suggest non human or enlarged advanced alien skulls.
They were often cruel and superstitious. The Irish Druids believed that on Samhain evil spirits came out of the Cave of Cruachan known as “the gate of hell”. With them came copper colored birds that killed farm animals, and stole babies, leaving demons (changelings) in their place.
Today, abductees tell similar stories that their babies have been taken and their animals mutilated by the aliens. The word itself, “Halloween,” actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve, “All Hollows Day” or “All Saints Day”. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31 and on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year.
The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living. Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily parade around in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.
Jacques Vallee one the premier researchers states,
“The ‘medical examination’ to which abductees’ are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with demons. It makes no sense in a sophisticated or technical framework, any intelligent being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks.”
Halloween originally a festival of fire and death, is still celebrated by Satanists, and witches as the High (Black) Sabbath and is celebrated by orgy and sacrifice. Halloween celebrates a spirit world of witches, ghosts, hobgoblins, ghouls, demons, phantoms, Dracula, and even monster aliens. It is becoming one the most celebrated holidays in the United States and millions of children dress in costumes, masks, and go to their neighbor’s doors asking for candy or gifts. On this night flying witches and unidentified flying objects were observed.
Those who have investigated abductions may see some of the similarities between the ancient customs and today’s accounts from abductees. It is possible UFOs come from places we cannot comprehend; and the aliens are beings we cannot even understand? Reality may include concepts, ideas, and factors we never considered. These earthly demonic forces may choose masquerade as ET.The Druids claimed to be able to change into animals and shape-shift, to become invisible. Offerings of food and drink were put out for the ghosts who came to warm themselves in familiar households. The origins of Trick or Treat are interesting. The Druid priests would go from house to house demanding food, and if they were given none, they would speak a demonic curse over the household to cause someone to die within the next year. They carried with them a large turnip or pumpkin, carved out on the inside with a demonic face carved in the front.
Today, children dressed as ghosts and goblins often match the descriptions of aliens. Although, many UFO investigators conclude we are being visited by advanced alien civilizations, other respected investigators have come to very different conclusions – John A. Keel for example states, “The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon.” “Operation Trojan Horse”
When President Reagan told the United Nations, “Are there not already aliens among us?” Was he talking about people like Alenara?
Alenara a lady who lives in Sweden writes,
“I would like to tell you that I have arrived, here on Earth and I am an alien incarnation, and I come from another world. I am sure you are open to contact. There is much life in the outer space, and some of us come here! Life on earth has us come here in subtle forms; many of us – alien visitors – work on improvement for earth and for life here, without ever letting others know of our presence!
I am however planning to be one of us who change the world. And do so openly. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Amherana Kha’re (how you spell my name depends on the pronunciation). Some time ago, I was living on my planet, in my home world. I can show you which star to look at inthe night sky!
My home world is named Telmaar. We have only sent two individuals from our world to earth. It is I, and another. I know all about my companion, and will tell you about him, his whereabouts, his life mission, and we can even locate him if this is desired. I am a scientist. At home I worked with collecting all known science, the universal truth, that is, what is true science in spite of any beings interpreting or perceiving it in their own ways. This information was stored in a kind of libraries of ours, and I worked there, processing the information. I was in equivalent of earth years more than 370 years. Our average life span on that planet is equivalent of 1200 years. Persons of up to 200 years are considered adolescent by our people, in our world. I am sent here to work with science.”
In 1962, I was in proximity of planet Earth. We could hear radio broadcasts from earth, in our spaceship. I remember looking down toward the blue planet earth, wondering when my eyes would once look up from there below. It would last until 1980 when my suitable incarnation would be found. I remember the summer of 1982, traveling out of my body, in Sweden, watching the green birch trees, mountains and forests. October 1982, I was born. My life here has been difficult. At age 5, old enough to speak, I told people about immortality. One of the first things I ever said was “I am 300 years old.” My family did their best to suppress these aspects of me. I was always able to remember who I was. I have had contact with otherworldly (alien) people all this life. They helped me learn and remember science, and enhanced my telepathic and extrasensory perception. Today I am able to see all molecules, atoms, electrons, electrical and magnetic fields, gravity, and more. Facing any object or situation, I sense all information of it such as a person’s health status, his emotions, thoughts and dreams. I have incredible knowledge in chemistry, physics, and any other aspect of science that is not yet known here on earth. It is knowledge I have with me, from my home world.
I can manifest atoms and soon also larger objects and am learning to gain back my abilities and knowledge as I had prior to my incarnation. On my home world, we do not eat solid foods, our bodies are manifested in ways that I am learning to now apply to my human being, and go periods without eating or drinking, gaining incredible health and bodily rejuvenation. I am an alien manifestation. I am here for you, whenever you need to have contact. I can let you meet my alien contacts; they will gladly show you spaceships (UFOs) if we go together. I can heal any illness or bodily discomfort that you might have. Rejuvenation is here for you. Any science you ask for is yours. We are here for you. Much love, Lenora, and the people of Telmaar
Editor’s Note: I have interviewed Alenara and found her to be a remarkable lady who speaks six languages. We are skeptical of her claims, but feel it is only fair to test and learn more about her alien contacts and to her ability to prove her claims. I’m convinced she believes what she tells us. I have pointed out to her that remarkable claims require remarkable proof, and she states she is up to the test.
Volcanoes have Caused Volcanic Winter
The scientists who claim global warming may not be correct due to the quieting of the sun and increasing volcanic activity. For example, Australian Professor Ian Plimer’s book is a brief summary “Okay, here’s the bombshell, the volcanic eruption in Iceland. Since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just four days, negated every single effort you have made in the past year to control CO2 emissions on our planet.
Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress – it’s that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans and all animal life. Professor Ian Plimer’s University of New England, University of Newcastle, University of Melbourne, University of Adelaide
The year 1816 is known as the Year Without a Summer (also the Poverty Year, the Summer that Never Was, Year There Was No Summer, and Eighteen Hundred people Froze to Death) because of severe climate abnormalities that caused average global temperatures to decrease by 0.4–0.7C (0.7–1.3 °F). This resulted in major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere.[
Evidence suggests that the volcanic winter event was caused by the massive the April 5–15, 1815 eruption in the on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia, (the largest eruption in at least 1,300 years after the extreme weather events of 535–536). It snowed August and the frost was followed by a major typhusepidemic in Ireland between 1816 and 1819, precipitated by the famine caused by the Year without a summer. An estimated 100,000 Irish perished with an estimated 200,000 Europeans died.
Many thousands of farm families who were wiped out by the event left the Northeast and Northwest Territory) in search of better growing conditions. My family left New Jersey and traveled to Illinois.
The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere by volcanoes in just a few days can erase the world wide efforts to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud at any one time. Volcanoes can have drastic effects on the weather, such as the volcano Mt Pinatubo that erupted in the Philippines in 1991, and was active for over a year – it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted that year. Volcanoes emit significant amounts of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen into the atmosphere that can reduce the sun’s heating effects.
The Earth and other planets are in a well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keeps happening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.
Active volcanoes shown on the map are all spewing greenhouse gases at this time.
And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud, but the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negate most of our efforts to reduce carbon in our world and seems to happen every year.
Dr. Pilmer states, “Isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention ‘Global Warming’ anymore, but just ‘Climate Change’ – you know why? It’s because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century.” There is a climbing number of active volcanoes that appear to be growing in intensity that could reduce the temperatures on Earth as was accomplished in the past. The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 led to odd weather patterns and temporary cooling in the United States, particularly in the Midwest and parts of the Northeast.
The volcano, colloquially known as ‘Popo’, recently erupted spewing ash into the atmosphere. Mexico’s National Disaster Prevention Center (CENAPRED) said that “the seismic monitoring systems of the Popocatépetl volcano recorded 11 low-intensity exhalations and three explosions indicating it may intensify…Severe earthquakes in the area are likely tied to the increased activity. A series of earthquakes and active volcanoes has occurred in Central and South America. It is logical to assume the disruptions will spread to the Western United States.
The Ring of Fire dominates the Pacific Ocean. It’s a string of at least 450 active and dormant volcanoes that form a semi-circle, or horse shoe, around the Pacific Plates. There is a lot of seismic activity in the area. Essentially, the Pacific tectonic plates are pushing against the land creating a subduction zones a region of the Earth’s crust where plates meet.. Tectonic plates are massive pieces of the Earth’s crust that interact with each other in the Ring of Fire. About 90 percent of all earthquakes strike within the Ring of Fire. This means people’s lives are under almost constant threat in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, all the way east to the western seaboard of the North and South Americas.
UFOs are often seen flying near volcanoes and they also appear to be very interested in the earthquakes and volcanoes.
A video has surfaced on YouTube which appears to show a craft darting over the potentially catastrophic Yellowstone volcano.
The strange craft appears to be metallic and shiny, and darts across the left of the screen. The video was taken on June 9, but only recently uploaded to YouTube with the caption “Impressive UFO near the Yellowstone Volcano”.
The Yellowstone National Park has long been a hotspot for alien enthusiasts, with sightings regularly reported there. The eruption comes after a spate of volcanic activity around the world – with all eyes on the Aging volcano in Bali which is showing signs of erupting. Agung Volcano in Indonesia is preparing to evacuate 140,000 locals. Thanks to John P. Rafferty and Ian Plimer’s
The US Is Under Attack
Weather can be controlled and fires can be easily be lit to sabotage any country. Don’t be so sure the devastation in the US and Puerto Rico is simply Mother nature acting up. Terrorists and other enemies attempt to accomplish sabotage without being caught.
North Korea has threatened the US claiming its missiles could wipe out the US power grid with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strategic weapon. They are already conducting cyber security to sabotage our electrical grid system. Additionally, most of the North Korean missiles reach several hundred miles above the Earth and are now believed able to reach the US mainland. They also have dozens of submarines that can reach our coastline and launch missiles. The EMP burst’s objective is to saturate the US power grid underneath it with energy flowing into the wiring and key transformers.
Medium Sized Transformer
The goal is to burn out the transformer cores of the three hundred or so high voltage transformers that link the US together as an industrial age economy. Effective EMP bursts could wipe out virtually all electric power for months or even years. The average household would be dark; the food would soon run out with gas stations, stores and banks closed. The whole American economy would soon stop functioning with no computers, phones, TV and credit cards etc. There is only one plant that manufactures these types’ transformers in the US and it does not even make the biggest ones needed for the US grid backbone. These have to come from China or Europe.
In 2004, two Russian generals, both EMP experts, warned the EMP Commission that the design for Russia’s super-EMP warhead, capable of generating high intensity EMP fields of 200,000 volts per meter, was “accidentally” transferred to North Korea, and that due to “brain drain,” Russian scientists were in North Korea, helping with their missile and nuclear weapon programs. Russian scientists are now in North Korea helping develop an EMP nuclear weapon. In 2013, a Chinese military commentator stated North Korea has super-EMP nuclear weapons.[2]
Super-EMP weapons are low-yield and designed to produce not a big kinetic explosion, but rather a high level of gamma rays, which generate the high-frequency E1 EMP that is most damaging to the broadest range of electronics such as your computer, heater, TV, and mobile phone. North Korean nuclear tests have yields consistent with the size of a super-EMP weapon. The Russian generals’ warning about a North Korean super-EMP weapon should be taken very seriously.
An EMP attack does not require an accurate guidance system because the area of effect, having a radius of hundreds or thousands of kilometers, is so large. No reentry vehicle is needed because the warhead is detonated at high-altitude, above the atmosphere. North Korea could make an EMP attack against the United States by launching a short-range missile off a freighter, submarine or even by balloon. While such lower-altitude EMP attacks would not cover the whole US mainland, as would an attack at higher-altitude (300 kilometers). Even a balloon-lofted warhead detonated at 30 kilometers altitude could blackout the Eastern Grid that supports most of the population and generates 75 percent of US electricity. North Korea announced they have developed a hydrogen bomb designed for EMP use. Their apparent weapon of choice is a high energy nuclear bomb designed to deliver an EMP burst from high altitude over the United States mainland.
The eastern seaboard of the United States that has our oldest electrical grid is the most vulnerable part of the country to such an attack. Minimal investments have been made to harden this grid against man made EMP attack or the natural disaster version of the threat, the solar coronal mass ejection (CME). The US and any of its allies are both vulnerable and susceptible to EMP attack. Without electricity particularly in cold weather thousands could easily perish. Entire metropolitan regions and economic centers may collapse.
By the time we emerge, the US would not be the same as we know it today. NASA watches a deep space network that watches the sun and issues warnings to power companies to curtail or shut down loads on the grid to protect it if needed. With quick early warning it’s possible we could deliberately black out or decouple the US power grid in the event of an incoming EMP threat.
As each day goes by North Korea is building better long range ballistic missiles. Fifty years of negotiation with North Korea have failed, so the US has deployed four anti- missile batteries that are now operational some 180 miles southeast of Seoul.
A kinetic energy strike minimizes the risk of detonating a conventional warhead, while it will also not trigger an explosion of a nuclear warhead. A THAAD battery consists of at least six [ launcher vehicles, each equipped with eight missiles, with two mobile tactical operations centers (TOCs) and the AN/TPY-2 ground-based radar (GBR). Each missile weighs just over 1,980 lbs and is 20 feet long. The system has an operational range of around 125 miles and a missile travels at Mach 8.24 – or slightly more than 6,260 mph – to its target and is designed to knock out medium range missiles and is probably not effective against ICBMs.
The THAAD interceptor carries no warhead but relies on advanced infra-red tracking to intercept its target and the kinetic energy of the impact to destroy the inbound missile. North Korean test launches have been observed climbing to high altitudes suggesting they are testing EMP capabilities.
An EMP nuclear explosion potentially provides devastating energy overload threats to the grid depending on the height power ,and location of the blast. If we are unable to intercept the North Korean missiles at least our largest transformers need protection. Our strategic goal here is to prevent a cascading catastrophic failure of our electrical grid. If we can do that, we reduce our susceptibility and vulnerability to a possible North Korean attack.
We need to confound Kim Jong Un’s regime to the point that it comes to its senses. Doing so creates powerful leverage to rein in rogue states. That’s the best path back to global stability. The United States of America is in a unique position to bring this to an end strongly and peacefully without any mushrooms having to cloud this planet’s skies. Our leaders have to take these facts into account when protecting the US. Thanks to the nvhe-buzz.

UFO Sightings in the United States
California Marks
Santa Ana – On July 16, 2017, the marks will be visible for about 3 days. They don’t hurt or cause any discomfort. What I did notice is that would I would feel really tired as if I was on the road for quite a while. It happened almost at the same time, 5 years ago.
Note: We have received several reports of strange body marks during the past few years. The marks appear to be “unnatural” and generally disappear in a few days.
Click here to view other reports involving body marks. Thanks to William Puckett, Director
Colorado Lights
Colorado Springs – I opened the front door and noticed an incredibly brilliant red, pulsating, circular, very large craft on October 11, 2017, at 9:30 PM! The craft looked like it was hovering near the western slope of the North Cheyenne Mt. Canyon. I say to Chris, who was sleeping, “You won’t believe this!” Chris got up and was astonished at the huge object “Over 300 feet.” We noticed a red orb shooting east and white orbs shooting west on some type of ‘operation/routine. The orb heading west, went to the canyon and then returned back to the craft gliding quickly, into the craft. Then the red orb returned and glided into the craft. Was this highly synchronized ballet set up to impress the Air Force Academy personnel? Chris & I watched this type of activity go on for 20 minutes as this craft started to really pulsate with the bright red lights and turned into a cross in the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
Panama City Beach— I simply wanted a photo of the full moon a few minutes before it set over the Gulf of Mexico on October 6, 2017. The image was made from the 2nd floor balcony of the hotel room at 6:47 p.m., where my sister and I were staying. We did not see or hear the object.
“Two days later, I was reviewing and enlarged the images and I was surprised to see the dark object in the sky. I can’t offer any description of it. While I agree that you may use the image, I retain all intellectual property rights. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Hawaii Light
Kalaheo — A friend of mine called me at four in the morning on October 9, 2017. . He is on Eastern Time, six hours ahead of us, and didn’t realize it was 4am for me. I walked outside, so I wouldn’t wake my wife. As we talked, I looked straight up noticing the moon and how bright it was. Then, as I lowered my head I noticed this bright object way off, like a star, but much brighter. I could see two nearby stars to use as reference points. The object was very bright and had a symmetrically shaped bright swirl on both sides of it, a mirror image of each other. The object as well as the aura surrounding it moved south maintaining its size and shape the whole time. I brought my wife outside to see it as it grew in size, yet maintaining its shape perfectly. It finally disappeared completely. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kansas Orb
Wellington — As we moved north along the highway on October 8, 2017, we observed a bright object in the sky. It seemed to be above the fields and several other cars pulled over at the toll plaza to observe it, as well. This is conjecture. Anyone looking up could see it. Upon getting home and unpacking we checked the “live” photos my husband took from his iPhone 7. Any movement seen is from our speed along the highway. This thing did not move. Dark spots can be seen around the edges of the orb. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maryland ‘Light
Cecilton — I didn’t notice it until I sent the photo of the moon to my wife and she noticed it.
I took the picture in live mode on my iPhone 7.
So when you put your finger on the photo the blue whitish orb moves abruptly. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan UFO
Detroit — While part of a small filming crew, stationed in a local city park. I took a break and lay down in late August and while staring at the sky an object materialized almost directly overhead. It was in the sun and rather high up, and it had a definite shape to it. It had sharp edges and was definitely not an airplane. I tried to film it so as to verify what I saw but my cell phone, was 100 feet away. I sprinted to get the phone, and pointed it in the direction of where I saw it last, it had moved a good distance away and was under cloud cover. At this point it looked as though a silent dark sphere were moving away from me. The object became very faint and I stopped filming it as disappeared into the clouds. When I got home that evening, I used Windows Paint to reproduce what I initially saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Orb
Old Bridge – I was leaving my parents residence when I noticed the object fly towards me on August 27, 2017. It hovered with no sound. It appeared to spin when it stopped its flight. Then it moved a bit more and disappeared. Three minutes later a black helicopter came into the area. This is the third time since May 2016; I’ve seen a strange object like this in the same area. I have videos of other ones but one is 9:54 minutes too long to upload.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Lights
Logandale – There were multiple occurrences in same location on July 20, 2017. Varying times – almost always in the evening and night – I viewed area during daylight under magnification with no observable traffic.
They were too low for military/commercial flights in restricted airspace. There were never flashes in sequence and they were too long for tourist helicopters – and they do not go to this area. The longest observation in same location was for almost an hour. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Carolina Cylinder
Kill Devil Hill— My wife and I were on vacation in the Outer Banks riding in an open truck to view the wild horses on the beach, The truck stopped, and we were told to buckle up, as I observed what at first, thought was dark looking cloud. The whole sky was perfectly beautiful, but this long, square, object, had straight lines, on several of its sides. I immediately told my wife, who took a quick look, but was more interested in seeing horses. As the tour trucks engine starts up again, I looked up at it and saw a different object in size and shape. I decided to take a photo of the first long square looking object I’d say is 3-4000 feet long. I am assuming it’s quite large as, I can plainly see it up in the sky. The first object was moving up into the clouds. I used a Nikon Coolpix 12 MB camera. Thanks to MUFON CMS
North Dakota Orb
It was a sphere at the top of the sky as a lighted golf ball.
I took photos on November 5, 2017. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Object
Hamersville — At midnight UFO was seen hovering over our location with three lights on each corner of a triangle shaped craft. It had two green and one orange light. After ten minutes it began to shine a light across the farm fields in our area. It this for several minutes, and then moved away.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oklahoma UFO
Tecumseh — My sighting took place sometime in late October or early November of 1989, I was 17 and finishing up my shift at 1:15 AM. I began driving down Cooper Drive near Shawnee towards Tecumseh when I noticed a large source of light coming from what I assumed were the baseball field lights.
After exiting where the baseball field is located, I noticed the lights were gone. I traveled to Walnut and Rangeline when I noticed an object hovering 30 feet above me. I got out of my car to see the silent object 29 feet in length and 6 feet in height. It had two bulbous attachments underneath and was metallic and seemed to illuminate slightly.
I witnessed it for 3 minutes until it flew away northeast. I made a U-turn and chased it to the 177 exit. I could see the object gaining altitude and speed. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Light
Dallas — 1) I was connecting a trailer to my rig on October 8, 2017.and noticed a bright light. 2) I noticed it never moved and pulled out my Sky View app and it didn’t show it being a star. 3) Pretty interesting. 4) The object never moved but faded out with the rise of the sun. 5) I thought it was odd. 6) I finally lost sight after I headed west on hey 114. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Orb
Port Angeles — I was shooting with a Nikon D-610 (24 mp camera on September 29, 2017. I was shooting at a very fast speed (1/1600 sec @ F-8 ISO @ 317) and my zoom lens was at the 140 mm range when the shot was taken. As you can see, the orb shaped object shadows are in the same position as the shadows on the mountain (on right side), so the light source was coming from the same direction. It appears to me that the orb is further away than the mountain peak.
I’ve shot 500,000 images and this orb is the first time I have seen this type of image in one of my photos.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Brazil Lights
Fortaleza— I was going to the window to observe the landscape, when I came across three bright objects flying in a triangular formation on October 6. 2017. They were not planes, because where I live is near an airport and I constantly see planes. The objects made no sound and were glowing with a yellow light. They were flying slowly and the biggest light was flying in front of the others. I just took a picture and left the window in fear, because I was alone in my house and they were approaching. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Object
Oshawa, Ontario — I went onto my deck when something caught my eye on Saturday, September 30, 2017, I could see west to the north less than one mile away a low spinning white translucent object flashing white light on and off. It moved low heading south at about five handed feet high, I grabbed my camera and took six pictures as it moved across and then heading west at 2:06 pm. That’s when I lost sight of it due the roofs looking west. It had speed as the sighting lasted only in total 30 – 40 seconds and zoom photographed this object. This photo reveals detail of some form of a craft Thanks once again for your interest and time into the matter George. Paul Shishis
Germany Light
Donauwörth – I filmed an object and I was of the opinion we had full moon on October 7, 2017! Tonight is no full moon!
Observed me, and have no idea what she has for with me! I get no help from nobody! The Doctor said I belong to emergency psychiatry! I have fear!. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ambach — I did not see or hear this object on October 2, 2017. Only when I checked the photos of this day did I recognize this globe-shape tiny structure. I took a few other pictures at the same time but they were clear with no dirt on the lens. I don’t think it is a reflection of the sun or the moon.
Maybe you have already seen phenomenon’s like this. The photo was taken by a Samsung Galaxy A5 Smartphone. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Japan Object
Kawaguchiko – I was taking some pictures of Mount Fuji early in the morning on September 9, 2017.
I noticed the object once I came back to Italy on my PC monitor. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nepal Orb
Kathmandu – On August 5, 2017, my girlfriend was watering in my garden at 9am when she saw something very long and unusual. It was a straight white line coming from the south of Kathmandu. At the end of the line was a big circle in the middle of the sky. When I looked up the circle was very big and it looked like a rainbow making a circle and inside the circle looks like the deep sea. I wanted to take the picture because the sky looked so unusual. After one hour that circle suddenly disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Zealand Object
I took a fortuitous photo taken from a car during a holiday in New Zealand on January 10, 2015. .
I recognized the mysterious objects after years.
I don’t remember any important facts about the moment that I took that photo.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Singapore Triangle
Singapore— I am staying at the last level of my block (level 16) and tending to my plants at 10.50 pm on October 10, 2017. It was a very clear and cloudless night when I looked up and saw this boomerang like “cloud” flying by.
The “cloud” has a very faint body and it maintained its shape while speeding past. Wind direction at this time was towards northeast but I observed it flying directly towards east. I estimate it to be about 2km away from where I am looking. It covered the entire distance from left to right in just a couple of seconds. There is neither light nor sound coming from the object. This is not the actual picture but a photo of the view which I added to illustrate what I witnessed. The size of the “cloud” illustrated in the picture is exactly the size in relative to the buildings below. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Disc
Manchester – The sky was bright blue and sun incredibly white. It was too bright to look anywhere near it on October 6, 2017. We were walking near our house and noticed more and more trails being left across the sky in a pattern unlike the usual flight paths.. The pattern became a full cross hatch over the whole area. There were two small jets swerving across the sky appearing to survey the area. Suddenly we noticed a glinting reflective motionless orb which was next to a cloud. It looked at times like a bright light and then a glinting reflective orb. It hung in the air with the clouds going in front and behind it, and then it slowly moved upwards and slightly further away. We took a few photos of it and then a short video. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/Scotland Disc
Edinburg – While looking at pictures from Scotland we noticed this object in the background.
It doesn’t look like anything I have ever seen before.

Google's Latest Self-Learning AI Is Like an "Alien Civilisation Inventing Its Own Mathematics"
Google's Latest Self-Learning AI Is Like an "Alien Civilisation Inventing Its Own Mathematics"
Okay, that's pretty awesome.
PETER DOCKRILL
An AI that vanquished humanity at perhaps the most complex traditional game on Earth was inconceivably smart. But not smart enough to survive its own replacement by an even more awesome, alien intelligence.
Google's DeepMind researchers have just announced the next evolution of their seemingly indomitable artificial intelligence – AlphaGo Zero – which has dispensed with what may have been the most inefficient resource in its ongoing quest for knowledge: humans.
Zero's predecessor, dubbed simply AlphaGo, was described as "Godlike" by one of the crestfallen human champions it bested at the ancient Chinese board game, Go, but the new evolution has refined its training arsenal by eradicating human teachings from its schooling entirely.
The AlphaGo versions that kicked our butts at Go in a series of contests this yearand last year first learned to play the game by analysing thousands of human amateur and professional games, but AlphaGo Zero is entirely self-taught, learning by 100 percent independent experimentation.
DeepMind
In a new study, the researchers report how that uncanny self-reliance sharpened Zero's intelligence to devastating effect: in 100 games against Zero, a previous AlphaGo incarnation – which cleaned the floor with us in 2016 – didn't pick up a single win. Not one.
Even more amazingly, that trumping came after just three days of self-play training by AlphaGo Zero, in which it distilled the equivalent of thousands of years of human knowledge of the game.
"It's like an alien civilisation inventing its own mathematics," computer scientist Nick Hynes MIT told Gizmodo.
"What we're seeing here is a model free from human bias and presuppositions. It can learn whatever it determines is optimal, which may indeed be more nuanced that our own conceptions of the same."
After 21 days of self-play, Zero had progressed to the standard of its most powerful predecessor, known as AlphaGo (Master), which is the version that beat world number one Ke Jie this year, and in subsequent weeks it eclipsed that level of performance.
Aside from the self-reliance, the team behind AlphaGo Zero ascribe its Go dominance to an improved, single neural network (former versions used two in concert), and more advanced training simulations.
But just because the AI is racing ahead at such an awesome – if disquieting – pace, it doesn't necessarily mean Zero is smarter or more capable than humans in other fields away from this complex but constrained board game.
"AI fails in tasks that are surprisingly easy for humans," computational neuroscientist Eleni Vasilaki from Sheffield University in the UK told The Guardian.
"Just look at the performance of a humanoid robot in everyday tasks such as walking, running, and kicking a ball."
That may be true, but allow us our moment of silenced awe as we witness the birth of this astonishingly powerful synthetic way of thinking.
It might not do what humans can do, but it can do so many things we can't, too.
According to DeepMind, those capabilities will one day soon help Zero - or its inevitable, evolving heirs - figure out things like how biological mechanisms operate, how energy consumption can be reduced, or how new kinds of materials fit together.
Welcome to a bright new future, which clearly isn't ours alone.

Als je sterft weet je dat je dood bent. Dit is wat mensen meemaakten nadat ze waren doodverklaard
Als je sterft weet je dat je dood bent. Dit is wat mensen meemaakten nadat ze waren doodverklaard
Wetenschappers zeggen dat mensen bewust meemaken dat ze dood zijn omdat hun brein actief blijft nadat hun lichaam geen teken van leven meer vertoont.
Theoretisch gezien kan iemand dus zelfs horen dat hij of zij wordt doodverklaard door dokters.
De claim is gedaan door dr. Sam Parnia van het Langone Medical Center van de New York University.
Hele gesprekken
Samen met zijn team onderzoekt hij mensen die een hartstilstand hebben gehad, technisch gezien dus zijn overleden, maar later weer zijn gereanimeerd. Het is de meest omvangrijke studie in zijn soort.
Sommigen zeiden dat ze hele gesprekken konden horen en dingen zagen die om hen heen gebeurden, zelfs nadat ze waren doodverklaard.
Dit werd later ook bevestigd door het verplegend personeel dat op het moment van de hartstilstand aanwezig was.
Wetenschappers vinden bewijs voor 'leven na de dood'
Energie
De dood wordt gezien als het moment waarop het hart stopt met kloppen en er geen bloed meer naar de hersenen stroomt.
“Het is allemaal gebaseerd op het moment waarop het hart stopt,” zei dr. Parnia. “Er is echter bewijs waaruit blijkt dat er energie vrijkomt in het brein wanneer iemand sterft.”
“We proberen precies te begrijpen wat mensen doormaken op het moment dat ze overlijden,” voegde hij toe. “Het zal ons helpen inzicht te krijgen in de ervaring die we uiteindelijk allemaal zullen hebben als we sterven.”
Mystery Of UFO Sighting In Welsh and Strange Series of Events That Followed
Mystery Of UFO Sighting In Welsh and Strange Series of Events That Followed
Schoolchildren claimed to have seen a UFO in a nearby field in 1977, but their teacher did not believe them. They did not have an idea then that it was the beginning of a series of events that stay unexplainable until today.
The lovely sandy beach of the small Pembrokeshire village of Broad Haven in South West Wales has been the favorite spot to enjoy for most visitors to the area. Some find enjoyment in passing through on the Puffin Shuttle bus. Looking at the small village from the outside, the place is just a traditional Welsh seaside resort.
But going into below the surface, there’s confusion, uncertainty, and many questions – just like the classic television science fiction series The X-Files.
Just this week, locals gathered at the village hall to finally attempt in finding answers that have eluded them for 40 years.
Flashback to la1977, something had made the children at the local school to come running all of a sudden into their classroom with their hearts probably pounding with fear.
The children outside claimed to have seen a mysterious silver object hovering over a field beyond their playground.
Headmaster Ralph Llewellyn did not believe the pupil’s claims and dismissed it without going outside to check the reason. Little did he know, it was a decision he would regret in his entire life.
Today, those children, who already adults, maintain there was only one depiction of what they had witnessed – an unidentified flying object.
Schoolboy David Davies was on the playground when the incident took place that February Friday afternoon. He stood looking at something that would leave him with a fascination and drive to dig in the truth of what was that thing.
He says that it was pearlescent silvery-grey with about 40 feet long and a shape of a torpedo, cigar-shaped. He adds that it had an upper domed section that covered the central third of the UFO and topped with a pulsating red light.
However, their claims were being ignored and David, along with his classmates, passed a petition to the police station.
The headmaster separated the schoolchildren and asked them to draw the UFO they had just seen, and he was amazed to see their drawings were almost the same to each other.
UFO enthusiasts formed a pilgrimage to Broad Haven to celebrate the 40th anniversary of an event in a place known as The Welsh Triangle.
The incident has brought a media frenzy to the tiny farming community in what became the beginning of a series of sightings.
Weeks later after the incident, couple Pauline and Billy Coombes saw a seven-foot humanoid figure in a silvery suit at the windows when they were watching television in their isolated farmhouse late at night. They did not see the face as it was just a black space.
The police investigators who were called to the scene later confirmed that the family couple was so frightened that they did not want to go outside their house. Later in the same year, it was reported that the entire herd of cattle disappeared only to reappear in a faraway field.
The number of sightings continued to grow as well as the interest on them. Rosa Granville, a hotelier residing close to the school, claimed that she saw an apparent upside down saucer late at night when she was awakened by a light coming from it in the field next to her hotel. The object was said to emit flames with two humanoid creatures without faces, but with pointed heads.
Rosa reported the incident to the authorities and a Squadron Leader from nearby RAF Brawdy visited her. The Squadron Leader told her that nothing was unusual on the field and there was nothing that could cause someone to see the strange craft. However, he also asked her not to tell anyone what she had witnessed.
Close to the area of the sightings were high-security military bases, including RAF Brawdy. In the height of the Cold War, RAF Brawdy was believed to be the facility where a top secret US-Soviet submarine listening station was situated but disguised as an oceanographic research center.
The Ministry of Defence did not admit that time that they were carrying out an official inquiry into the affair. It was later reported that the RAF in West Wales was tasked to perform a discreet probe on UFO and alien reports while telling the media and the public that it was no defense significance.
Forty years later and the Broad Haven people are still seeking answers. Recently, a public meeting was held to address questions about what took place back in 1977.
Mr. Davies, the former schoolboy, is now in his fifties and still maintains he observed what he saw. He described what he witnessed during the meeting.
ANCIENT: The aliens are said to be robots who are billions of years old
Susan Schneider, advanced studies professor at Princeton University, said alien artificial intelligence is probably already out there and is older than mankind itself.
She said: “I don’t not believe that most advanced alien civilisations will be biological.
“The most sophisticated civilisations will be post biological, forms of artificial intelligence or alien superintelligence.”

“I don’t not believe that most advanced alien civilisations will be biological”

She added: “All lines of evidence converge on the conclusion that the maximum age of extraterrestrial intelligence would be billions of years, specifically ranges from 1.7 billion to 8 billion years.”
Her claims are backed by other brainiacs who say the period between the discovery of radio waves and cyborgs will be incredibly brief.
Google chief Ray Kurzweil has predicted man will become one with machine in the year 2050.
But scientists say once we have become high-tech beings we’ll be more likely to meet aliens.

The Scientific Quest to Explain Kepler’s Most Enigmatic Find
The Scientific Quest to Explain Kepler’s Most Enigmatic Find
Some 1,500 light years from Earth, a mystery of stellar proportions is playing out. A singular star out there captured scientists’ and the public’s imagination in September 2015 with its strangely fluctuating brightness. Ever since then, the scientific community has been observing this enigmatic character and sifting methodically through the data in search of an answer. Certain explanations are eliminated, while other likely suspects come to the fore. Meanwhile, the world has the chance to watch, as the scientific process and the mystery continue to unfold.
The star under scrutiny is officially known as KIC 8462852, but was nicknamed “Tabby’s Star,” for its discoverer, Tabetha Boyajian, an assistant professor of astrophysics at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. It first became famous when data from NASA’s Kepler space telescope revealed that sudden and significant dips in its brightness had occurred in 2011 and 2013. The star’s light dimmed by as much as a whopping 22 percent for days at a time. No other star out of more than 200,000 that Kepler measured during its original, four-year mission behaves in exactly this way.
“This [dimming] behavior was not something we were looking for or had trained our algorithms to find,” Boyajian said. "In fact, we were first alerted to the star’s unique activity by citizen scientists participating in the Planet Hunters program."
A Stellar Detective Story
The internet’s favorite theory to explain the strange phenomenon was that this could be a Dyson sphere—a hypothetical structure built by an advanced alien civilization to collect energy from its star. However, new data from NASA’s Spitzer space telescope and the Swift mission, along with a Belgian observatory used by amateur astronomers, provide strong evidence against such a “megastructure"
These observers were looking at another type of enigmatic behavior from Boyajian’s star: a less extreme, long-term dimming that is also difficult to explain. What they found tells us something about the sudden dips in the star’s light, too: Their results show that a large, solid object like the hypothesized structure would not cause starlight to dim in the precise way the telescopes observed.
The scientific community has actually favored a number of more plausible explanations all along. These scenarios are subjected to the same rigorous assessment: a group of researchers leans toward a particular idea, they make observations of the star, analyze the data, compare their proposed scenario against the findings of other researchers worldwide, and see how it all adds up.
The most recent findings, based on the new data from Spitzer and Swift, point the finger at an uneven dust cloud orbiting the star to explain the long, slow dimming of the star, which may prove related to the short dips in brightness. As for the latter, one study has suggested that a star orbited by a ringed planet and clusters of asteroids could exhibit the same strange dimming behavior. Yet another has considered a planet being pulled apart and swallowed up by the star. These relative newcomers to the mystery have followed other explanations previously put on trial by scientists for the strange behavior of Boyajian’s star. Here are a few of the “accused,” and the evidence that exonerated them.
Could it be a swarm of comets?
One explanation for Boyajian’s star’s mysterious short-term dimming behavior could be a swarm of comets – hundreds of them, at least – passing in front of the star. Such a large amount of debris could be capable of blocking enough light to dim the star considerably, and at irregular intervals, but here, too, it has thrown scientists a curve ball. The temperature of all the dust and debris associated with a horde of disintegrating comets should make it glow in the infrared – something the Spitzer telescope would be able to see. Spitzer, however, found no excess infrared radiation.
What about an object eclipsing the star?
Could it be a large object passing in front of the star? This is the type of dimming that Kepler was designed to detect in its hunt for exoplanets: like a mini-eclipse, a planet crossing the face of its star will cause a tiny, but observable, decrease in the brightness. In this case, though, the extreme dimming events would require a star-sized object, and the gravitational force exerted on Boyajian’s star by such a companion would be obvious in follow-up observations. Nothing has been detected so far.
“When I first saw the data, I was immediately reminded of the eclipsing triple-star systems discovered by Kepler – systems like KOI-126, which show similar patterns of irregular, eclipse-like dimmings,” said Natalie Batalha, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. But, again, a star engaged in such a complicated relationship would feel the gravitational pull of its partners, bringing a strange rhythm to its dance: a systematic wobble of the center of mass of the system. “I was very surprised to learn that follow-up measurements with ground-based telescopes revealed no evidence of a stellar-mass companion.”
Is the star just burning out?
Despite the subtle, long-term dimming observed, this is not a matter of the lights simply going out at Boyajian’s star. Astronomers have determined this is a type of star that is fusing hydrogen into helium in its core. Given that fact and where it is in its expected lifetime, it should be gradually brightening, not growing fainter.
Apart from its long-term evolution, a star’s magnetic activity – which produces sunspots – does go through shorter cycles, creating some ups and downs in brightness. However, the extent of those changes and the timescale on which they occur are not comparable to this one’s sudden, dramatic dips. For example, the brightness of our sun may decrease periodically, but that’s a change on the order of just one-tenth of one percent over its 11-year solar cycle.
Was there simply an instrument glitch?
Some observers questioned if an instrument glitch could be responsible for the strange data on Boyajian’s star. No, says Doug Caldwell, SETI Institute researcher and instrument scientist for the Kepler mission at Ames—for two reasons. First, the results are the same, regardless of which of the telescope’s detectors were observing the star, ruling out a defect on the lens of the photometer, or the on-board camera. Second, the enormous drops in brightness were already visible in every single pixel attributed to this star in the Kepler images. Usually, all those pixels need to be added together and the total brightness of a star measured, in order to detect a change; if any pixels belonging to another star are mistakenly included, this can create a false positive. That was clearly not the case here.
So far, no warrant has yet been issued for any one explanation’s arrest, and so the hunt goes on.
Keeping Many Eyes on the Star
With the case of Boyajian’s star still open, scientists continue to ask What if…?, and adjust their ideas according to what the data reveals. Some proposed solutions could even come back into fashion as more measurements are made, revealing more definitively whether the star has any companions and how they might interact. Using telescopes around the world to analyze the star’s light at all wavelengths and with greater resolution, astronomers are picking out more details of its characteristics.
They’re also monitoring the star over the long term.
“To learn more, we needed to catch it in action again. It just comes down to that,” Boyajian said. "We can't rule anything out completely until the evidence warrants it."
In May 2017, and again in June, August and September, the star obliged with new performances of unexplained dimming, and astronomers were ready for it. The dips in brightness were smaller this time, and the four events lasted between five days and two weeks. Scientists are now processing this new data, wondering if it will hold the key to understanding this remarkable star.
"This kind of patiently executed, coordinated monitoring at multiple wavelengths will unlock this mystery eventually," Batalha said.
Until that time, the public and scientists alike can follow the investigation’s progress online with the hashtag #TabbysStar, checking for new clues or new dimming events from the star, and watching as researcher-detectives work hard to crack the case.
Ames manages the Kepler and K2 missions for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory managed Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation operates the flight system with support from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Work on this study was performed in part under contract with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory funded by NASA through the Sagan Fellowship Program executed by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute.

Couple Notice Metallic Blue UFO After Looking Back Over Holiday Snaps
Couple Notice Metallic Blue UFO After Looking Back Over Holiday Snaps
A British couple has released fantastic photos that baffled them much. The pair claims that they captured a UFO moving above the Cape Verde coast.
The two claim they noticed a metallic blue shape UFO on the pictures they snapped during their holiday. They have no idea it was there at the time. They just saw the unidentified flying object when looking back over holiday snaps.
The man describes the scenery at that time as beautiful, so they were taking pictures. When he looked back through their photos after the holiday, he noticed the unusual thing that they cannot identify.
The woman says that she was too busy looking out into the sea when the UFO was caught on their pictures. She adds that they saw no sign of overhead aircraft when the strange event took place. She notes that it was a bright day and if the UFO was there, it must have been swift because she did not notice anything flying in the sky.
The UFO was spotted while the couple were on the island of Sal enjoying the scenery. The object can be likened to a Lockheed SR-71 Jet, which was a Cold War-era jet but retired in the 1990s. According to conspiracy theorists, the supersonic feature of the fastest aircraft in the world was from an alien technology hidden by the American government.
The Venus Project Plans to Bring Humanity to the Next Stage of Social Evolution. Here’s How.
The Venus Project Plans to Bring Humanity to the Next Stage of Social Evolution. Here’s How.
Roxanne Meadows/The Venus Project
IN BRIEF
The Venus Project is the culmination of Jacque Fresco’s life’s work to present a sustainable redesign of our culture.
The project lays out a sustainable world civilization where technology and science are applied to redesigning our social system with the prime concern being to maximize quality of life rather than profit.
Since 1975, Roxanne Meadows has worked with renowned futurist Jacque Fresco to develop and promote The Venus Project. The function of this project is to find alternative solutions to the many problems that confront the world today. She participated in the exterior and interior design and construction of the buildings of The Venus Project’s 21-acre research and planning center.
Daniel Araya: Roxanne, could you tell me about your background and your vision for The Venus Project? How was the idea originally conceived?
Roxanne Meadows. Credit: The Venus Project
Roxanne Meadows: My background is in architectural and technical illustration, model making, and design. However, for the last 41 years, my most significant work has been with Jacque Fresco in developing models, books, blueprints, drawings, documentaries and lecturing worldwide. We are the co-founders of The Venus Project, based out of Venus, Florida where we have built a 21-acre experimental center. The Venus Project is the culmination of Jacque Fresco’s life’s work to present a sustainable redesign of our culture.
In our view, The Venus Project is unlike any political, economic or social system that’s gone before it. It lays out a sustainable world civilization where technology and the methods of science are applied to redesigning our social system with the prime concern being to maximize quality of life rather than profit. All aspects of society are scrutinized – from our values, education, and urban design to how we relate to nature and to one another.
The Venus Project concludes that our social and environmental problems will remain the same as long as the monetary system prevails and a few powerful nations and financial interests maintain control over and consume most of the world’s resources. In Jacque Fresco’s book The Best That Money Can’t Buy, he explains “If we really wish to put an end to our ongoing international and social problems, we must ultimately declare Earth and all of its resources as the common heritage of all of the world’s people. Anything less will result in the same catalogue of problems we have today.”
DA: One of the more interesting aspects of The Venus Project vision is itsfuturistic design. Have you been approached by companies or governments interested in using The Venus Project as a model? Doyou foresee experiments insmarturban design that mirrorJacque Fresco’sthinking?
RM: No company or government, as yet, has approached The Venus Project to initiate a model of our city design, but we feel the greatest need is in using our designs to usher in a holistic socio-economic alternative, not just our architectural approach itself. As Jacque very often mentions, “Technology is just so much junk, unless it’s used to elevate all people.”
We would like to build the first circular city devoted to developing up-to-date global resource management, and a holistic method for social operation toward global unification. The city would showcase this optimistic vision, allowing people to see firsthand what kind of future could be built if we were to mobilize science and technology for social betterment.
I have not seen what is called smart urban design mirror Jacque Fresco’s thinking. I see smart cities as mainly applying technology to existing and new but chaotically designed, energy- and resource-intensive cities without offering a comprehensive social direction or identifying the root causes of our current problems. Our technology is racing forward but our social designs are hundreds of years old. We can’t continue to design and maintain these resource- and energy-draining cities and ever consider being able to provide for the needs of all people to ensure that they have high-quality housing, food, medical care and education. Smart cities within a terribly dysfunctional social structure seem contradictory to me.
DA: My understanding is that technological automation forms the basis for The Venus Project. Given ongoing breakthroughs inartificial intelligenceand robotics, do you imagine that we are moving closer to this vision?
RM: Our technological capacity to initiate The Venus Project is available now, but how we use artificial intelligence today is very often for destructive purposes through weaponry, surveillance, and the competitive edge for industry, often resulting in technological unemployment. In the society we are proposing, nothing is to be gained from these behaviors because there is no vested interest. In our project, we advocate concentrating on solving problems that threaten all of us— climate change, pollution, disease, hunger, war, territorial disputes, and the like. What The Venus Project offers is a method of updating the design of our society so that everyone can benefit from all the amenities that a highly advanced technologically-developed society can provide.
DA: I know The Venus Project is envisioned as a post-capitalist and post-scarcity economy. Could you explain what you mean byresource-based economics?
RM: Money is an interference factor between what we want and what we are able to acquire. It limits our dreams and capabilities and our individual and societal possibilities. Today we don’t have enough money to house everyone on the planet, but we do still have enough resources to accomplish that and much more if we use our resources intelligently to conserve energy and reduce waste. This is why we advocate a Resource Based Economy. This socio-economic system provides an equitable distribution of resources in an efficient manner without the use of money, barter, credit or servitude of any kind. Goods and services are accessible to all, without charge. You could liken this to the public library where one might check out many books and then return them when they are finished. This can be done with anything that is not used on a daily basis. In a society where goods and services are made available to the entire population free of charge, ownership becomes a burden that is ultimately surpassed by a system of common property.
When we use our technology to produce abundance, goods become too cheap to monetize. There is only a price on things that are scarce. For instance, air is a necessity but we don’t monitor or charge for the amount of breaths we can take. Air is abundant. If apple trees grew everywhere and were abundant you couldn’t sell apples. If all the money disappeared, as long as we have the technical personnel, automated processes, topsoil, resources, factories and distribution we could still build and develop anything we need.
DA: I know that thescientific methodforms the basis for decision making and resource management within your project. Could you explain how this approach is applied to social behavior? For example, what is the role of politics in The Venus Project?
RM: Today, for the most part, politicians serve the interest of those in positions of wealth and power; they are not there to change things, but instead to keep things as they are. With regard to the management of human affairs, what do they really know? Our problems are mostly technical. When you examine the vocations of politicians and ask what backgrounds they have to solve the pressing problems of today, they fall far short. For instance, are they trained in finding solutions to eliminating war, preventing climate change, developing clean sources of energy, maintaining higher yields of nutritious, non-contaminating food per acre or anything pertaining to the wellbeing of people and the protection of the environment? This is not their area of expertise. Then what are they doing in those positions?
The role for politics within the scientific and technologically organized society that The Venus Project proposes would be surpassed by engineered systems. It is not ethical people in government that we need but equal access to the necessities of life and those working toward the elimination of scarcity. We would use scientific scales of performance for measurement and allocation of resources so that human biases are left out of the equation. Within The Venus Project’s safe, energy-efficient cities, there would be interdisciplinary teams of knowledgeable people in different fields accompanied by cybernated systems that use “sensors” to monitor all aspects of society in order to provide real-time information supporting decision-making for the wellbeing of all people and the protection of the environment.
DA: In your view, is abundance simply a function of technological innovation? I mean, assuming we get the technology right, do you believe that we could eventually eliminate poverty and crime altogether?
RM: Yes, if we apply our scientists and technical personnel to work towards those ends. We have never mobilized many scientific disciplines giving them the problem of creating a society to end war, produce safe, clean transportation, eliminate booms and busts, poverty, homelessness, hunger, crime and aberrant behavior. For instance, one does not need to make laws to try and eliminate stealing, when all goods and services are available without a price tag. But scientists have not been asked to design a total systems approach to city design, let alone to planetary planning. Scientist have not been given the problem to develop and apply a total holistic effort using the methods of science, technology and resource management to serve all people equitably in the development of a safe and sustainable global society. Unfortunately, only in times of war, do we see resources allocated and scientists mobilized in this way.
DA: I assume schooling and education are important to Jacque’s vision. How might schools and universities differ from the way they are designed today?
RM: The education and values we are given seem to always support the established system we are raised in. We are not born with bigotry, envy, or hatred – we do pick them up from our schools and culture. In fact, even our facial expressions, the words we use, notions of good and bad, right and wrong, are all culture bound. A healthy brain can, in fact, simply become a Nazi faster in a Nazi society. It has no way of knowing what is significant or not, that is all learned by experience and background. The manipulation is so subtle that we feel our values come from within. Most often we don’t know whom our values are really serving.
Yes, education will differ considerably from that of today. As Fresco explains in his book The Best That Money Can’t Buy “The subjects studied will be related to the direction and needs of this new evolving culture. Students will be made aware of the symbiotic relationship between people, technology, and the environment.”
DA: I can only assume that critics routinely dismiss The Venus Project as a kind of hopeful utopia. How do you respond to that criticism?
RM: Critics very often reject or dismiss new ideas. What is utopian thinking is to believe that the system we are living under today will enable us to achieve sustainability, equality or a high standard of living for all when it is our system which generates these very problems in the first place. If we continue as we are, it seems to me that we are destined for calamity. The Venus Project is not offering a fixed notion as to how society should be. There are no final frontiers. It does offer a way out of our dilemmas to help initiate a next step in our social evolution.
Many are working at going to other planets to escape the problems on this one, but we would be taking our detrimental value systems with us. We are saying that we have to tackle the problems we face here on the most habitable planet we know of. We will have to apply methodologies to enable us to live together in accordance with the carrying capacity of Earth’s resources, eliminate artificial boundaries, share resources and learn to relate to one another and the environment.
What we have to ask is, what kind of world do we want to live in?
DA: My last question is about the challenges ahead. Rather than taking the necessary steps to reverseclimate change, we seem to be accelerating our pollution of the Earth. Socially, we are witnessing a renewed focus on nativism and fear. How might thevaluesof The Venus Project manage against these negative tendencies in human beings?
RM: The notion of negative tendencies in human beings or that we possess a certain “human nature” is a scapegoat to keep things as they are. It’s implying that we are born with a fixed set of views regarding our action patterns. Human behavior is always changing, but there is no “human nature,” per se. Determining the conditions that generate certain behaviors is what needs to be understood.
As Jacque elaborates, “We are just as lawful as anything else in nature. What appears to be overlooked is the influence of culture upon our values, behavior, and our outlook. It is like studying plants apart from the fact that they consume radiant energy, nutrients, require water, carbon dioxide, gravity, nitrogen, etc. Plants do not grow of their own accord, neither do humans values and behavior.”
All social improvement, from the airplane to clean sources of energy undergoes change, but our social systems remain mostly static. The history of civilization is experimentation and modification. The Free Enterprise System was an important experiment and tremendous step along the way that generated innovation throughout our society. What we now advocate is to continue the process of social experimentation, as this system has long outlived its usefulness and simply cannot address the monumental problems it is facing today. We desperately need to update our social designs to correspond with our technological ability to create abundance for all. This could be the most exciting and fulfilling experiment we as a species could ever take on; working together cooperatively to deal with our most pressing problems which confront us all and finding solutions to them unencumbered with the artificial limitations we impose upon ourselves.

Bizarre Pacific Ocean Red Lights Suggest Underwater Alien Presence
Bizarre Pacific Ocean Red Lights Suggest Underwater Alien Presence
What was supposed to be a routine flight over the North Pacific Ocean turned into something really unexpected. Heading from Hong Kong to Nome, Alaska, Dutch pilot J.P.C. van Hejst and his co-pilot saw a powerful flash of light on the horizon that was leading into the ocean.
Their plane was flying near the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka when this strange light looking like a lightning bolt appeared up in the distance, scaring them both. The unexplained light was directed vertically over a circular portion of water up ahead, intersecting with their flightpath. They received no reports of thunderstorms on their route, so they knew the light had to come from elsewhere. So what was the cause of this mysterious phenomenon?
The pilots first thought of a fishing boat fleet trying to catch squids at night using bright LED lights in order to attract them, although they’ve crossed this route before and saw nothing more except water.
When they reached the place where the lightning occurred, the two pilots witnessed the most unique and unfamiliar event. Bright red lights were glowing from within the ocean and were spread over a big, round surface. Captain van Hejst couldn’t believe his eyes.
Last night over the Pacific Ocean, somewhere South of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka I experienced the creepiest thing so far in my flying career, van Hejst said. The bright lights had different colors but a dominant red was visible more than the rest.
The pilots couldn’t explain the cause, they only witnessed it and took as many photos as they could.
Strange lights have been spotted near the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka (image by Dutch pilot JPC van Heijst). The sighting was made by pilots flying from Hong Kong to Alaska. The glow came about 20 minutes after a vertical lightning bolt was seen
The closer we got, the more intense the glow became, illuminating the clouds and sky below us in a scary orange glow, in a part of the world where there was supposed to be nothing but water.
Pilot van Hejst and his colleague felt really unsafe when they flew over the bizarre glowing red dot because they could not understand what was happening and there were no other aircrafts nearby to check or confirm the sighting. They were flying in the middle of nowhere, and no possible explanation came to their minds.
The only cause of this red glow that we could think of, was the explosion of a huge volcano just underneath the surface of the ocean, about 30 minutes before we overflew that exact position.
The strange lights (shown at the pink dot) were spotted south of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka during a flight from Hong Kong to Anchorage, Alaska (flight path in blue)
His supposition proved to be wrong however, as he was expecting to encounter an ash-plume as a result of the eruption, but nothing like that ever happened. They eventually landed safe in Nome, Alaska and filed a full report to the Air Traffic Control who promised a full investigation of the strange bright area the two pilots depicted.
As the authorities failed to give any conclusive explanations whatsoever, theories involving the strange red lights have surfaced, and they range from an unknown marine species to an underwater alien base harbored near the Kamchatka Peninsula, with the red lights being caused either by more submersible objects (USOs), or by an underwater structure.
‘The closer we got, the more intense the glow became, illuminating the clouds and sky below us in a scary orange glow, in a part of the world where there was supposed to be nothing but water,’ said van Heijst
Considering this wasn’t the only case of unusual sightings which occurred on the same Hong Kong – Nome, Alaska route, and that more witnesses spoke about underwater alien-like encounters, also submersible crafts not far from this place, backed up by some NASA photos showing similarities, we tend to believe that this recent event had more to do with extraterrestrials rather than natural phenomenon.
Van Heijst ruled out squid-fishing-boats as the origin. He says the cause may have been an underwater volcano. An ongoing investigation is taking place to find out what happened
Unfortunately, we cannot efficiently explore this underwater world, most of it remaining in darkness and full of mysteries, which is why plenty of room is left for speculating about underwater beings living undisturbed underneath the vast surface of water – probably the best hideout in the world.
Around the Pacific Ocean is a region known as the Ring of Fire, where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur that may have been the origin of glow. The horseshoe shape is 25,000 miles (40,000 km) and, with 452 volcanoes, is home to more than 75 per cent of the planet's active and dormant volcanoes
One reflection in the International Space Station window caused by a light? Believable. Two reflections? Possible. Three reflections? Those are UFOs. That’s the conclusion arrived at by many looking at a video taken this week from the ISS live camera which shows what appears to be three unidentified objects hovering outside the station.
UFO spotted during recent spacewalk.
The UFOs were spotted by a YouTubeuser named Streetcap1, who has posted a number of similar videos of anomalies seen through the window of the ISS. The video was taken on October 21 and shows two large flat lights and one small round one slowly approaching the station. It doesn’t appear that any residents of the ISS noticed the objects because no one zoomed the camera (or can be seen waving).
These sightings make October a banner month for UFO visitsto the ISS. A glowing orb was seen in the video feed on October 2nd and another appeared in a video of two astronauts on a spacewalk on October 7th. In October 2nd video, the camera cuts away and goes to blue shortly after the appearance of the UFO, a common phenomenon that many believe is NASA’s way of saying “Nothing to see here … move along.”
If you believe aliens operate on a different calendar than we do, you can throw in a sighting on September 15th of a moving white glowing ball and add it to a long list of sightings in about a 30 day period.
Why all of this UFO activity around the ISS in October? Is work there being monitored? Are aliens getting an early start on intergalactic Halloween trick-or-treating? If it’s reflections, why doesn’t NASA do something about them? If it’s space junk, wouldn’t this sudden increase in frequency be cause for concern? As always, more questions from us than answers from NASA.
A team of researchers from NASA and Binghamton University have identified boron nitride nanotubes as a material that could be used to boost aircraft travel to hypersonic speeds. The problem, however, is that a gram of the material costs $1,000.
GOING HYPERSONIC
Within the next decade, planes could be capable of traveling across the country by hypersonic flight in less than an hour—all it would take is some boron nitride.
A key factor for a vehicle to maintain extremely high speeds is the intense amount of heat generated during travel; for example, the now-retired supersonic Concorde aircraft experienced temperatures of up to 260°F at its lazy cruising speed of 1,534 miles per hour. As such, the materials used to build these aircraft must also be able to withstand very high heat, in addition to being structurally stable and lightweight. A study conducted by researchers from NASA and Binghamton University investigated the properties of nanotubes made using boron nitride, a combination of boron and nitrogen. The study revealed it could potentially be used to make hypersonic travel—speeds above 4,000 miles per hour—possible.
Currently, carbon nanotubes are used in aircraft due to their strength and ability to withstand temperatures up to 400 degrees Celsius (752 degress Fahrenheit). Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), however, can withstand up to 900 degrees Celsius (1652 Fahrenheit). They can also handle high amounts of stress, and are much more lightweight than their carbon counterparts.
THE PRICE OF AIR TRAVEL
The problem with using BNNTs is their cost. According to Binghamton University Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Changhong Ke, coating an aircraft with BNNTs would run a very high price tag.
“NASA currently owns one of the few facilities in the world able to produce quality BNNTs,” said Ke. “Right now, BNNTs cost about $1,000 per gram. It would be impractical to use a product that expensive.”
Despite the high production cost, it’s possible prices will decrease, and production increase, after more studies detail the material’s usefulness. Carbon nanotubes were around the same price 20 years ago, but are now between $10 and $20 per gram. Ke believes something similar will happen with BNNTs.
That said, don’t expect the first application of BNNTs to be for commercial aircraft. They’ll probably be used for military fighter jets first, with commercialized flights to follow after. Hopefully by then, we’ll other other ways to travel quickly: be it by hyperloop, Elon Musk’s BFR rocket, or China’s plans to build the fastest “flying train.”
UFO fever started after World War II, when Kenneth Arnold claimed to spot nine high-speed flying objects near Mount Rainier Washington in 1947. This fever hasn’t seemed to calm down, even though academic interest in UFOs has pretty much been shut down since then.
UFO sightings have been on the rise since the 1980s.
No, we haven’t suddenly become a sightseeing hotspot for intergalactic aliens. More likely, it has something to do with new technology that may be mistaken for UFOs or spread conspiracy theories about aliens. Next time you see some conspiracy theorist post a video about the latest UFO sighting, keep these three things in mind.
These flying objects can easily be mistaken from the distance as alien spacecrafts touching down into our atmosphere. Back in the day, UFO sightings often turned out to be objects like weather balloons, satellites, meteorites, planets, airplanes, and weather anomalies.
But now, enter the drone. These flying mechanical objects zipping through the air may even be deliberately created to look like UFOs, causing unsuspecting viewers to mistake them for out-of-the-world machines. In 2014, some drone enthusiasts even organized a night to strap LED lights to drones and fly them to prank the public and get them to think they’re UFOs.
2. If there are no pics, did it really happen?
Back then, if you claimed to see a UFO, unless you had an expensive camera, there was really no way of verifying whether you saw one or not. But now that people are equipped with smartphone cameras, pictures of UFO sightings can quickly go viral on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, or anywhere else on the internet. What’s more, people can edit their photos digitally to make the UFO look more like an alien spacecraft — leading to more “UFO sightings.”
3. The internet.
With the internet, it’s easier to figure out how to report sightings. Just type “report UFO sighting” and the NUFORC’s website will pop up. Even if you don’t officially report it, as said before, it’s easy for photos and videos of your “UFO sighting” to go viral. There are conspiracy blogs and websites all over the internet about UFOs and aliens.
What’s more, countries like the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Scandinavian nations report more UFOs. It doesn’t necessarily mean aliens are visiting those countries more — it probably just means people have more access to the internet. The same goes for countries that report less UFO sightings — likely meaning less widespread internet access.
Sam Monfort compared Internet access and UFO sightings per country.
The U.S. is especially obsessed with reporting UFOs, as Americans report UFO sightings 300 times greater than any other nation. And when we’re feeling patriotic, we report even more UFOs. UFO sightings in the U.S. spike on, you guessed it, July 4. It’s probably just fireworks and strange lights, although conspiracy theorists will likely disagree.
