Study probes Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Plus, a new mission?
Study probes Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Plus, a new mission?
A new study shed light on what powers Enceladus’ extraordinary geologic activity, while – at a conference in Seattle last week – space visionaries discussed a return to Saturn’s geyser moon.
Mosaic image of Saturn’s moon Enceladus – a moon with active geysers – via the Cassini spacecraft in 2009. Enceladus is only about 300 miles (500 km) across. It has an icy crust. Cassini data has suggest a saltwater lake or ocean beneath Enceladus’ ice. Could there be organisms living in that water?
There was exciting news last week about Saturn’s fascinating moon Enceladus, a geologically active world that sprays water-ice particles, water vapor and organic compounds from fissures on its surface. On November 6, 2017, European and U.S. researchers announced results from a new modeling study, which might solve a decade-old puzzle about what keeps this little outer solar system moon active, as opposed to just freezing solid. The study showed that – if this moon has a highly porous core – heat from friction could power its hydrothermal activity for billions of years. Then on November 9 – during the New Space Age conference at Seattle’s Museum of Flight – Russian billionaire Yuri Milner described a vision to send the first privately funded interplanetary space mission to look for life at Enceladus.
Enceladus. For decades prior to the Cassini mission, scientists wondered why this was the brightest world in our solar system. Cassini found that the fresh coating on this moon’s surface originates from its geysers, which are connected to subsurface saltwater liquid.

Russian billionaire Yuri Milner asked at the New Space Age conference on November 9: “Can we design a low-cost, privately funded mission to Enceladus which can be launched relatively soon?”
New mission? Yuri Milner is known for his financial support of the search for life beyond Earth, via Breakthrough Listen (a search using radio telescopes) and Breakthrough Starshot (a plan to send swarms of nano-spacecraft through the star system next door, Alpha Centauri).
…is a plan to bring the search for life beyond Earth closer to home. In the past, astrobiologists have speculated that microbial life could lurk far below the surface of Mars, or beneath a miles-thick layer of ice on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons.
But, Milner said at the conference:
…the most promising recent candidate is Enceladus, one of the moons of Saturn.
As reported by Boyle, Milner said at the conference that he and others – including Carolyn Porco (on Twitter @CarolynPorco), who headed NASA’s imaging team for Cassini mission – formed “a little workshop” around the idea of a private space mission to Enceladus. Milner asked:
Can we design a low-cost, privately funded mission to Enceladus which can be launched relatively soon, and that can look more thoroughly at [the plumes of water-ice particles, water vapor and organic compounds spewing from Enceladus], to try to see what’s going on there?
Milner told GeekWire that he’s unsure of a timeframe for a private mission, but hopefully it could happen sooner than missions being considered by NASA or ESA, including ELF, ELSAH and E2T.
He indicated to Geekwire he is considering funding a feasibility study for a private mission to Enceladus.

This graphic illustrates how water might be heated via friction inside Saturn’s moon Enceladus, to sustain the moon’s geologic activity.
Read a description of what’s happening in this image, via ESA.
New insights. The new study about Enceladus’ interior uses data from the Cassini spacecraft – whose mission to Saturn lasted from 2004 to September, 2017 – and is based on computer modeling. The study was published a couple of days before the New Space Age conference, on November 6, in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Astronomy. The researchers said in a statement that their study helps resolve a question they’ve grappled with for a decade, since Cassini discovered active geysers on Enceladus.
That is, where does the energy to power the extraordinary geologic activity on Enceladus come from?
Researchers believe that the temperature inside Enceladus – a tiny world, only 300 miles (500 km) across, in the cold outer solar system – must be at least 194 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Celsius). But what keeps the interior of the moon so warm?
The amount of energy required to produce these temperatures is more than scientists think could be provided by decay of radioactive elements in the interior. Gaël Choblet of the University of Nantes in France, who led the new study, said:
Where Enceladus gets the sustained power to remain active has always been a bit of a mystery, but we’ve now considered in greater detail how the structure and composition of the moon’s rocky core could play a key role in generating the necessary energy.
Choblet and co-authors found that a loose, rocky core with 20 to 30 percent empty space would do the trick. Their simulations show that as Enceladus orbits Saturn, rocks in the porous core flex and rub together, generating heat. The loose interior also allows water from the ocean to percolate deep down, where it heats up, then rises, interacting chemically with the rocks. The models show this activity should be at a maximum at the moon’s poles. Plumes of the warm, mineral-laden water gush from the seafloor and travel upward, thinning the moon’s ice shell from beneath to only half a mile to 3 miles (1 to 5 km) at the south pole. (The average global thickness of the ice is thought to be about 12 to 16 miles, or 20 to 25 km.) And this same water is then expelled into space through fractures in the ice.
NASA’s Cassini Project Scientist Linda Spilker at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California commented:
This powerful research makes use of newer details — namely that the ocean is global and has hydrothermal activity — that we just didn’t have until the past couple of years. It’s an insight that the mission needed time to build, one discovery upon another.
Cassini ended its journey with a dramatic plunge into Saturn’s atmosphere this past September 15. Although space researchers will be analyzing its data for years to come, it’s clear they’re already itching to go back to Saturn!
The video below provides a brief overview of Enceladus and includes information from Cassini’s final flyby of the moon:
Bottom line: A study suggests Enceladus’ geologic activity can be maintained over billions of years if the moon’s interior is porous. In Seattle, space visionaries including Yuri Milner discussed a return to Saturn and its moon Enceladus via a private space mission.
Who are the most powerful people in the world and what do they really want?
Elected politicians are quite rightfully subjected to a huge amount of scrutiny by the mass media and the institutions of the state.
This means that their corruption, illicit activities and poor performances in their roles are consistently highlighted to the public. However, there is an argument that this level of scrutiny and criticism should be applied to other individuals who are arguably more influential and powerful in society who seem to manage to evade the same level of examination and accountability.
SECRET SOCIETEIS AND SUPER-RICH FAMILIES RULE THE WORLD
There are some wealthy families and individuals operating in the United States who exert disproportionate influence over the workings of society and yet are not held accountable for the ways that they wield that power. In fact, most people in American society do not even know the names of these individuals or how acutely they have affected their lives.
The first of these individuals is David Rockefeller, a direct descendant of the first American billionaire J.D. Rockefeller who made his fortune monopolizing the American Medical Establishment. Over the years, the Rockefeller family have been pivotal in the campaign to discredit natural remedies and the growth of the notoriously corrupt pharmaceutical industry. David Rockefeller has also been linked to highly controversial political ideas, claiming that he would like to play a role in the establishment of a one world government which is completely controlled by the elite. He once wrote, “Some even believe [the Rockefellers] are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’, conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I’m proud of it.”
2. HENRY KISSINGER
Another person who is believed to share his views is Henry Kissinger, who Rockefeller has been close friends with since 1954. When he served as Secretary of State, Kissinger created a bloody and disgraceful legacy with the war in Vietnam, the instigation of coups in South America and assisting corrupt and brutal regimes all over the world to suit his economic agenda. Now he has fallen out of the spotlight to some extent, but he still serves a crucial role in defining the US and international politics and is regularly called upon by serving presidents and Secretaries of State for advice in the perpetuation of the War on Terror.
3. GEORGE SOROS
George Soros has also played his role in advising politicians as to how to set their agendas despite the fact that he has a notorious reputation as a financial parasite who has made his fortune on economic collapse. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, he was accused of bringing down the entire Malaysian government through illegal insider trading, and it is believed that he was acting in a similar fashion in England. Despite this shameful professional reputation, Soros is best known today for his so-called philanthropic causes. Soros claims that he wants to use his money to make the world a better place, however, his political views have led him towards some disreputable allegations such as rigging elections.
4. LAWRENCE SUMMERS
Soros’s relationships with the Clintons is well known. Another person believed to have had a huge influence on the political power couple is Lawrence Summers. Under Bill Clinton, Summers served in various positions within the US Treasury eventually rising to the head of the Department in 1999. While he was in office, Summers removed the Glass-Steagall Act which is believed to have played a central role in the global economic crisis of 2008. Following his stint in government, Summers has been aggressively pursuing his financial deregulation agenda all over the world, and his actions have contributed to a rise in the level of inequality and the transferring of huge amounts of wealth from the population to the elite.
5. ROTHSCHILD FAMILY
Perhaps the most influential and shadowy figures in the world are the Rothschild family who owns a majority of the world’s central banks which operate as private institutions as well as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The family is quite open about how much influence they exert over the affairs of the world with the patriarch of the family Mayer Amschel Rothschild once saying, “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws.” The family has also been open about their ability to destroy any nation which does not follow their agenda to the letter which means that even powerful political figures such as Hillary Clinton have been reported to grovel to them for forgiveness when she incurred their displeasure.
The third director of the post-World War II United States Central Intelligence Group (CIG), the third director of Central Intelligence (DCI), and the very first director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, once told the world, via the New York Times in 1960, that, “behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs,” and that, “through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.”
The key words are here are “official secrecy and ridicule,” which is why, for so many years, you were perceived as a crazy person at the slightest mention of UFOs, let alone intelligent extraterrestrial life.
Today, however, it’s a much different story. Hundreds of thousands of pages of de-classified documents show, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that intelligence agencies and global militaries have an extremely high interest in the UFO phenomenon, and have had this interest for a very long time.
For example, just go to the CIA’s Freedom of Information Act electronic reading room, and type in the word “UFO,” and you’ll see for yourself. There is no shortage of interesting documents that span not only the CIA’s website, but on a global scale.
“Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data.” – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979).
On top of documents, their release has sparked a number of high-ranking officials from various fields, from top military brass, politicians, and credible figures from within academia, astronauts and more. Here’s one of hundreds of statements.
“There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations. That it behooves us, in case of these people in the future or now should turn hostile, to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee
The Document Referencing Red, Green & Yellow “Flying Saucers”
This document, straight from the CIA , relays several pieces of information, with the part about these UFOs highlighted in brackets, which suggests special attention paid to it. It goes to show just how interested, and how important this topic is within the intelligence community. They’ve been studying it for years under the guise of “national security,” a term now used to classify everything, and protect the interests of the global elite as well as allow them to basically do whatever they please, with justification.
It states as follows:
“ANTARCTIC FLYING SAUCERS” – A group of red, green, and yellow flying saucers has been seen flying over Deception Island for two hours by Argentine, Chilean and British bases (military) in Antarctica. The flying saucers were also seen flying in formation over the South Orkney islands in quick circles.”
It’s strange how other unrelated factors are inserted into the document, and interesting how this part is highlighted.
Quite telling isn’t it? What’s even more interesting is that this document is more than five decades old, dating back to 1965.
It highlights one of the main questions that the release of these documents have raised: we now know that groups like the CIA have been putting a tremendous amount of resources into studying this topic, and it makes you wonder, what type of information do they have now, more than five decades later? What have they found out with regard to who/what are operating these things, how they work, where they come from, and what their intentions are?
This information is most likely locked up in Special Access Programs (SAPs), within the Black-Budget.com (containing unacknowledged and waived SAPs). These programs do not exist publicly, but they do indeed exist. They are better known as ‘deep black programs.’ A 1997 US Senate report described them as “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress.” You can read more about that here.
Judging by the fact that there is substantial evidence that the Germans were making flying saucers as far back as 1941, as well as other countries, could these particular “flying saucers” be crafted by another country? Perhaps manufactured by the Germans, soviets, China, or whoever, to conduct reconnaissance missions over other countries’ military installations?
UFOs over military installations are nothing new. For example, the picture below is a real picturetaken in August of 1952. It’s a photograph of multiple UFOs taken by the Coast Guard photographer at the time above a US military installation, a common place for UFO sightings. The photo was classified by the US government, and then later approved for release. It was witnessed by multiple ‘professional’ people.
So, where does the extraterrestrial hypothesis come in? Well, a large part of it is due to the fact that multiple high ranking people from various fields, including those from within the intelligence/military community, have flat out said, on multiple occasions, that these agencies are aware of multiple races that have made contact with the human race, or certain individuals of the human race.
For example, whether it be an Apollo 14 astronaut (6th man to walk on the moon) Dr. Edgar Mitchell stating that “there have been crashed craft and bodies recovered” or that he has been “privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visiting on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real,” or academicians likes Harvard University psychologist and Pulitzer prize winner Dr. John E. Mack saying “Yes, it’s both literally and physically happening,” there is no shortage of information to suspect that the extraterrestrial hypothesis is highly plausible.
“There is another way, whether it’s wormholes or warping space, there’s got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that they’re here shows us that they found a way.”
–Dr. Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Nebraska.
I’ll leave you with this quote below, which was also given many decades ago by British Scientist, and Emeritus Professor of Applied Physics at Stanford University Peter A. Sturrock. Sturrock and a number of other notable scientists around the world came together during the 1990s in order to examine the physical evidence that is commonly associated with the UFO phenomenon. One example used by Sturrock in his analysis was a photo taken by two Royal Canadian Air Force pilots on August 27th, 1956, in Macleod, Alberta, Canada. (“Physical Evidence Related To UFO Reports” – The Sturrock Panel Report – Electromagnetic Effects) (source) (source)
“If it does indeed turn out that there is relevant physical evidence, if this evidence is carefully collected and analyzed, and if this analysis leads to the identification of several facts concerning the UFO phenomenon, then will be the time for scientists to step back and ask, what are these facts trying to tell us? If those facts are strong enough to lead to a firm conclusion, then will be the time to confront the more bizarre questions. If, for instance, it turns out that all physical evidence is consistent with a mundane interpretation of the causes of UFO reports, there will be little reason to continue to speculate about the role of extraterrestrial beings. If, on the other hand, the analysis of physical evidence turns up very strong evidence that objects related with UFO reports were manufactured outside the solar system, then one must obviously consider very seriously that the phenomenon involves not only extraterrestrial vehicles but probably also extraterrestrial beings.” (source)
This is a re-published article shedding light on the wonderful work that Dr. Roger Leir did while he was still with us. For our most recent to latest articles on the topic, you can visit the exopoliticssection of our website.
Everything from the release of government documents, to high level testimonies from high ranking military and political figures has ignited a massive surge of interest in the UFO phenomenon from people all over the world. Unidentified Flying Objects (performing maneuvers that defy our understanding of physics) are now a confirmed reality. Official government documents prove that defence and government agencies have been examining this topic for a while. For example, you can view the UK’s latest release of files from June 2013 here. To find out what happens when the military tracks a UFO on radar, you can click here. You can find out more information about that from CE by clicking here. Ask yourself, why is there such a high level of interest from government and military agencies?
The question people are asking has changed from “do UFOs exist?” to “are UFOs extraterrestrial spacecraft?” Attributing today’s unknown aerial phenomenon to extraterrestrial craft might be a big mental leap to some, but the size of that mental leap continues to decrease. There are a lot of factors that are attributing to that decrease, and one of them comes in the form of body marks and extracted implants from people who’ve claimed to have extraterrestrial contact. I’m not saying all UFOs are extraterrestrial craft, I believe many of them are also made by humans from classified projects that come from the black budget world. I also believe that many of these implants could have been done by military agencies; but again, I’d like to reiterate that the extraterrestrial hypothesis is not one to take likely, you can read more about the extraterrestrial hypothesis HERE, or later on in this article.
“There are a great many photographs of such body marks, many of which are in an equilateral triangle pattern of red dots on the wrist or near the ankle. Also common are scoop marks,” in which it appears as if a small amount of tissue was removed from beneath the skin, leaving an indentation.” -Richard Dolan (UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2)
The case of extracted implants is very fascinating, they are largely reported by abductees, and those who have had experience with UFOs.
Below is a clip of Dr. Roger Leir. a Doctor of Podiatric medicine, and arguably the best known individual with regards to extracting alleged alien implants. He has performed more than fifteen surgeries that removed sixteen separate distinct objects. These objects have been investigated by several prestigious laboratories, including Los Alamos National Laboratories, New Mexico Tech, and many others. Unfortunately, he passed away in March 2014, but his legacy lives on. The clip was taken from the citizens hearing on disclosure, just like the one below, where you can find out more information about that.
He also spoke at the National Press Club in 2009, you can view that video here.
Throughout the years he described what he found in his work. Perhaps one of the most fascinating facts was that these objects were magnetic in nature, some gave off a radio frequencies of 14.7 MHz. According to doctor Leir, they were “fixed, or mobile deep space frequencies.” This is a very large amount for a very small object only millimetres in length, roughly the size of a pencil lead.
Lear also worked with Dr. Alex Mosier, a Ph.D. in physical chemistry. Some of the objects they examined had commonalities with meteorite fragments, metals such as Gallium, Germanium, Platinum, Ruthenium, Rhodium, and Iridium. They also noted a “deviation of nickel from terrestrial ratios that the analysis lab couldn’t explain.” Some of these implants contained nickel with an isotopic ratio not found on planet Earth.
They also found nano fibres very similar to carbon nano-tubes, which suggest that the fragments were engineered or manufactured. According to Dr Mosier, “you don’t find these things in nature. they have to be processed, engineered, and they’re not easy to make.”
All the individuals he studied had “no noted portal of entry” for any of the objects he removed. There was also no notable visible scar formation, and no disruption in the integrity of the skin. All the individuals tested positive to X-rays and CT scans showing metallic or lesser dense foreign objects, and there were no signs of inflammation at all which, according to Dr. Lier, would be impossible.
All of these surgeries and tests were done with an extremely limited budget, and to understand it further, more money would had to have been allocated to these findings.
One thing remains clear, there are many that believe the UFO topic to be directly correlates with the extraterrestrial phenomenon. There are reports all over the world from a large amount of people whose stories all seem to correlate. Whether it be through friendly contact or forced abduction, something is definitely going on, and there appears to possibly be multiple races of extraterrestrials interacting with humanity, and a very high level of interest from military agencies all over the world.
More On The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis
Just to clarify, ‘contactees’ are usually those who have reported ‘friendly’ contact experiences with extraterrestrials, ‘abductees’ are those who have had what they perceive to be fearful experiences, and experiencers are those who neither view the experience as ‘good’ or ‘bad,” but simply just an experience. It’s important to note this, because various people have reported different types of experiences with different types of beings.
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered… We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time.” – Dr. Edgar Mitchell, ScD, 6th man to walk on the Moon (source) (source)
The reality is that some people who claim to have had contact with intelligent extraterrestrial beings actually have.
John Mack, A Harvard professor, psychiatrist and Pulitzer Price recipient stresses that:
“Yes, it’s both. It’s both literally, physically happening to a degree; and it’s also some kind of psychological, spiritual experience occurring and originating perhaps in another dimension. And so the phenomenon stretches us, or it asks us to stretch to open to realities that are not simply the literal physical world, but to extend to the possibility that there are other unseen realities from which our consciousness, our, if you will, learning processes over the past several hundred years have closed us off.” (source)
We published an article earlier this year regarding John Mack, and more than 60 school children witnessing non-human beings and a large craft landing. The children were interviewed by him, and it was quite a remarkable story with all of the children providing very similiar stories. Until this day these children have been speaking of it, an event occurred more than 20 years ago….
“They describe these events like a person talks about something that has happened to them. I can tell that these are people of sound mind telling me something…” (quote continued and taken from the video linked below) -Dr. John Mack, professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
You can watch THIS video of Mack Interview the children, and you can read THIS article that goes more into detail on that case.
According to retired McGill University professor in the Department of Psychology (research areas beings cognition and cognitive Neuroscience), Dr. Don Donderi:
“Some of what people report as UFOs are extraterrestrial (ET) vehicles. Some of those extraterrestrial vehicles actually have ET crews, and some of those ET crews catch and release humans.” (source)
Academicians like these, and others like Richard Dolan, David M. Jacobs and more have been studying this phenomena for decades, and the reports of beings and examining why they are here, what they are doing, what they look like and more has been documented by their (and others) research.
What I find most fascinating about these stories is how many of them seem to compliment each other instead of contradicting each other, which just adds to the mystery.
Other Examples Of Physical Evidence Associated With This Topic (UFO & Extraterrestrial – Despite That In Some Cases Both Are Not Related To Each Other)
“If it does indeed turn out that there is relevant physical evidence, if this evidence is carefully collected and analyzed, and if this analysis leads to the identification of several facts concerning the UFO phenomenon, then will be the time for scientists to step back and ask, what are these facts trying to tell us? If those facts are strong enough to lead to a firm conclusion, then will be the time to confront the more bizarre questions. If, for instance, it turns out that all physical evidence is consistent with a mundane interpretation of the causes of UFO reports, there will be little reason to continue to speculate about the role of extraterrestrial beings. If, on the other hand, the analysis of physical evidence turns up very strong evidence that objects related with UFO reports were manufactured outside the solar system, then one must obviously consider very seriously that the phenomenon involves not only extraterrestrial vehicles but probably also extraterrestrial beings.” (source)
The quote above comes from Peter Andrew Sturrock, a British Scientist, and an Emeritus Professor of Applied Physics at Stanford University. Sturrock and a number of other notable scientists around the world came together during the 1990’s in order to examine the physical evidence that is commonly associated with the UFO phenomenon. One example used by Sturrock in his analysis, was a photo taken by two Royal Canadian Air Force pilots on August 27th, 1956, in McCleod, Alberta, Canada. (“Physical Evidence Related To UFO Reports” – The Sturrock Panel Report – Electromagnetic Effects) (source) (source)
The pilots were flying in a formation of four F86 Sabre jet aircraft. One of the pilots described the phenomenon as a “bright light which was sharply defined as disk-shaped,” that looked like “a shiny silver dollar sitting horizontal.” Another pilot managed to photograph the object, as you can see above.
The sighting lasted for a couple of minutes, and this specific case was analyzed by Dr. Bruce Maccabee, who estimated (from available data) that the luminosity of the object (the power output within the spectral range of the film) to be many megawatts. The Sturrock Panel also found it to be the case that a strong magnetic field surrounding the phenomenon or object was a common occurrence.
Maccabee published his analysis in the Journal of Scientific Exploration (“Optical Power Output of an Unidentified High Altitude Light Source,” published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, vol. 13, #2, 1999). He also published one in 1994 titled “Strong Magnetic Field Detected Following a Sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object,” in the same journal (8, #3, 347)
Dr. Jacques Vallee, notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA, and for his work at SRI International on the network information center for ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet, also published a paper in the Journal of Scientific Explorationtitled “Estimates of Optical Power Output in Six Cases Of Unexplained Ariel Objects With Defined Luminosity Characteristics.” (source)(source)
This particular case is also referenced in this paper.
One thing is for certain, it’s one of multiple strange phenomena that has and continues to interest a large portion of the scientific community.
Here is a video of former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer speaking about the fields around these objects, and what some of them were doing to military planes.
Let’s just be clear, these objects are commonly seen, tracked on air radar, and tracked on ground radar simultaneously. This is something that has happened hundreds, if not thousands of times. This is information that’s been made public over the past few years.
For example, a declassified Defence Intelligence Agency document shows one (out of thousands) great example. It details how two F-4 interceptor pilots reported seeing an object visually, it was also tracked on their airborne radar. Both planes experienced critical instrumentation and electronics going offline at a distance of twenty-five miles from the object. Here is an excerpt from the report:
“As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications. When the F-4 turned away from the object and apparently was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications. Another brightly lighted object came out of the original object. The second object headed straight toward the F4. ” (source)
The report also described how a smaller object detached from the bigger object, turned inside the arc of the F-4 itself, and then rejoined the original object. This incident lasted for several hours. I decided to use this example because it has a number of declassified supporting national security documents, which goes to show how seriously this event was taken.
“Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former head of the CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source, NY Times)
It’s only now that more people are starting to become aware of this information. Here is a quote from Senator Barry Goldwater before the de-classification of all of these files:
“This thing has gotten so highly-classified… it is just impossible to get anything on it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.” – Senator Barry Goldwater, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (source)
Interesting Quotes About The UFO Phenomenon (A Few Out Of Many)
***Please keep in mind, the documentation regarding this phenomenon can be found from links that were mentioned in the very first paragraph of this article
” Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data.” – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979). From “UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2,″ written by Richard Dolan.
“There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations. Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” (source) – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee
“There is another way whether it’s wormholes or warping space, there’s got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that they’re here shows us that they found a way.” (source) – Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of physics, University of Nebraska.
“This thing has gotten so highly-classified… it is just impossible to get anything on it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.” – Senator Barry Goldwater, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (source)
“Yes, it’s both. It’s both literally, physically happening to a degree; and it’s also some kind of psychological, spiritual experience occurring and originating perhaps in another dimension. And so the phenomenon stretches us, or it asks us to stretch to open to realities that are not simply the literal physical world, but to extend to the possibility that there are other unseen realities from which our consciousness, our, if you will, learning processes over the past several hundred years have closed us off.” – John Mack,Dr. John E.

“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth.

“Decades ago, visitors from other plants warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after.” – Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defense Minister (source)
My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago. The Star people brought spiritual teachings and stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely.

I’m skeptical about many things, including the notion that government always knows best, and that the people can’t be trusted with the truth. The time to pull the curtain back on this subject is long overdue. We have statements from the most credible sources – those in a position to know – about a fascinating phenomenon, the nature of which is yet to be determined. John Podesta, for example — former White House Chief of Staff for Bill Clinton, Barack Obama’s right hand man (councillor), and the current head of Hilary Clinton’s presidential campaign,Taken from Leslie Kean’s 2010 New York Times bestseller, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, And Government Officials Go On The Record, in which Podesta wrote the forward

Wormholes are fascinating (but theoretical) cosmological objects that can connect two distant regions of the universe. They would allow one to create “shortcuts” through space in order to travel vast distances in a shorter period of time. They are predicted by the general Theory of Relativity, and are what Einstein referred to as “bridges” through space-time. Wormholes are mathematically predicted, if not proven, and a new study illustrates how scientists have taken these theoretical anomalies – which many physicists believe to be real – and created one for themselves.
Researchers in Spain, from the physics department at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2015, actually created a magnetic wormhole in a lab that tunnels a magnetic field through space.
Using matematerials and metasurfaces, our wormhole transfers the magnetic field from one point in space to another through a path that is magnetically undetectable. We experimentally show that the magnetic field from a source at one end of the wormhole appears at the other end as an isolated magnetic monopolar field, creating the illusion of a magnetic field propagating through a tunnel outside the 3D space.(source)
Just to be clear, the manufactured wormhole is not able to transport matter, it’s able to transport a magnetic field from a physical object by having it disappear at one point, and then reappear at another, which is still very significant in the world of science.
The wormhole is invisible to the human eye, but it’s a sphere made up of of an outer ferromagnetic surface, an inner superconducting layer, and then a ferromagnetic sheet rolled into a cylinder internally. Here is a picture of what it would look like to us:
Prior to this accomplishment, the researchers were able to create a tunnel to transport magnetic fields. What makes this finding so much more interesting is the fact that again, because of materials used to build the wormhole, they’ve managed to keep the magnetic field completely invisible.
This result is strange enough in itself, as magnetic monopoles do not exist in nature. The overall effect is that of a magnetic field that appears to travel from one point to another through a dimension that lies outside the conventional three dimensions.(source)
Alvar Sanchez, the lead researcher, said that the magnetic wormhole is an analogy of the bigger, theoretical gravitational ones that are commonly used in science fiction. Despite this, there is still, according to modern day science, no way to know if similiar magnetic wormholes exist throughout space.
A paper that was recently published in the Annals of Physics offers mathematical evidence that a massive black hole in our galaxy is actually a wormhole. If this is true, it should be possible for humans to navigate it
Our result is very important because it confirms the possible existence of wormholes in most of the spiral galaxies. (source)
What’s the significance here? Well, if a device can take a magnetic field from one spot to another, it could have a number of medical applications. For example, it would be possible to take pictures of the body with a strong magnet placed far away, releasing people from having to endure the small, tight environment of an MRI machine, not to mention the radiation that goes along with it. (source)
It’s always fun to think about wormholes, anything that’s dominated the realm of science-fiction that has a practical chance of actually being real is exciting. The search for extraterrestrial life right now is at an all time high and Earth has never seen such an interest in ET life like this before, which is why this area of theoretical physics is so well known to the general public.
I’m going to leave you with this quote to give you something to think about. I’ve used it before so I apologize if you’ve already come across it.

Wetenschappers creëren wormgat in laboratorium. Ontdek wat dit te maken heeft met onzichtbare dimensies
Wetenschappers creëren wormgat in laboratorium. Ontdek wat dit te maken heeft met onzichtbare dimensies
Wetenschappers hebben in een laboratorium een wormgat gecreëerd dat twee gebieden in de ruimte met elkaar verbindt.
“Met dit apparaat kan een magnetisch veld van het ene punt in de ruimte naar het andere worden verplaatst via een pad dat onzichtbaar is,” zei coauteur Jordi Prat-Camps van de Autonome Universiteit van Barcelona.
“Het apparaat gedraagt zich als een wormgat, alsof het magnetische veld wordt verplaatst door een extra ruimtelijke dimensie,” voegde hij toe.
Korte weg
Albert Einstein en zijn collega Nathan Rosen stelden dat het in theorie mogelijk moet zijn om via een wormgat of een ‘korte weg’ in het universum sneller naar een ander punt in de ruimte te reizen.
Tot dusver heeft nog nooit iemand bewijs gevonden voor het bestaan van wormgaten.
Het nieuwe wormgat is eigenlijk niet echt een wormgat, maar meer een onzichtbaarheidsmantel, een concept dat in 2007 voor het eerst werd geïntroduceerd door wetenschappers.
Verbergt
Dit type wormgat verbergt elektromagnetische golven.
Het wormgat is gecreëerd met behulp van een supergeleider. Het team ontwierp een object met drie lagen, bestaande uit twee concentrische bollen en een cilinder in het midden.
De binnenste laag verplaatste een magnetisch veld van de ene naar de andere kant, terwijl de andere twee lagen het magnetische veld verborgen hielden.
Onzichtbaar
Het wormgat verplaatste het magnetische veld op een dusdanige manier dat het gedurende het proces ‘onzichtbaar’ was, schrijven de wetenschappers in Scientific Reports.
“Het magnetische veld van de magneet verdwijnt aan de ene kant van het wormgat en duikt aan de anderekant van het wormgat weer op,” aldus Prat-Camps.

Het vermoeden bestaat dat onder de mysterieuze Mayapiramides in Mexico een ondergronds netwerk van rivieren en gangen verscholen ligt.
Volgens legendes kan dit netwerk toegang verschaffen tot verborgen kamers in de raadselachtige bouwwerken.
Na ruim 50 jaar gaat een team archeologen nu het ondergrondse netwerk verkennen.
Heilig
“Er werd nog nooit een onderzoek op deze schaal uitgevoerd,” zei Guillermo de Anda van het Mexicaanse Nationaal Instituut voor Antropologie en Geschiedenis.
“Maar we zijn er zeker van dat we deze vindplaats nu beter zullen begrijpen, op een manier die vroeger niet mogelijk was,” vervolgde hij.
Voor de oorspronkelijke bewoners van deze heilige grond, de Maya’s, waren de ondergrondse rivieren, waterputten en tunnels heilig, aldus De Anda.
Goden
“Ze vormden drempels die hen toegang tot de goden konden verschaffen,” zei hij. Ze deden alles om de bewoners van de geestenwereld tevreden te stellen.
Duikers gaan onder meer afdalen in de mysterieuze waterputten in een poging geheime toegangspoorten tot het hart van de Piramide van Kukulcan of El Castillo te ontdekken.
Het team heeft al enkele grotten ontdekt, waarin onder andere een gebeeldhouwde figuur van een vrouw lag.
3D-model
We hopen dat de tunnels en gangen onder de Mayapiramides zullen leiden naar de waterput onder El Castillo, aldus James Brady van de California State University, Los Angeles.
De onderzoekers hopen genoeg informatie te verzamelen om een volledig 3D-model te maken van alleMaya-bouwwerken in Chichen Itza, zowel boven als onder de grond.

Is this the Original footage of the Battle of LA UFO incident?
The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as The Great Los Angeles Air Raid, is the name given by contemporary sources to the rumored enemy attack and subsequent anti-aircraft artillery barrage which took place from late 24 February to early 25 February 1942 over Los Angeles, California.
The incident occurred less than three months after the United States entered World War II as a result of the Japanese Imperial Navy's attack on Pearl Harbor, and one day after the bombardment of Ellwood on 23 February.
Initially, the target of the aerial barrage was thought to be an attacking force from Japan, but speaking at a press conference shortly afterward, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox called the incident a "false alarm." Newspapers of the time published a number of reports and speculations of a cover-up.
The Ancient Padmanabhaswamy Mysterious Sealed Temple Door That No One Can Open
The Ancient Padmanabhaswamy Mysterious Sealed Temple Door That No One Can Open
The mysterious Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple in India is known to be the richest temple in the world as it is covered in gold and billions of dollars in treasure have been found in several vaults but there is one mystery that makes it stand out from the rest and that is a mysterious sealed temple door that no one can open.
This mysterious door of the ancient Padmanabhaswamy temple is protected by two massive cobras painted on it and has no bolts, latches or any other means of entry.
It is said to house unimaginable wealth, and can only be entered by a high level ‘Sadhus’ familiar with the knowledge of chanting a ‘Garuda Mantra’.
It is believed that the door was sealed shut by sound waves from a secret chant lost in time. Hindu priests say that at present, there is no human capable of opening this door by executing these chants.

Richard Browning, the chief test pilot and founder of Gravity Industries, has made his way into the Guinness World Record books for the fastest speed in a jet suit and he has become the real-life Iron Man.
Browning took the title in Reading in the UK to celebrate the Guinness World Records Day 2017. Pravin Patel was the adjudicator, and he verified the achievement to make sure that the speed had been measured accurately and Browning flew over the minimum distance, which was 100 meters.
GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR JET SUIT SPEED SET BY REAL LIFE IRON MAN
Browning managed to achieve a speed of 32.02 mph when he made his third attempt, which was the final attempt and then he plummeted into the lake. At that point, it didn’t matter as Richard had made it into the history books with his company’s invention, which has been described as game-changing.
The real-life Iron Man suit is made of six micro gas turbines that are kerosene-fueled and which offer 22kg of thrust. The jet suit is said to depend on the movement of the human body to control the flight path, which means there is no remote control device to steer the suit.
The record was not all about the jet suit; Browning had practiced core strength exercises before he attempted to ensure that he could balance along with being able to hold a position in the air when he was flying. Richard got back on the ground after plummeting into the lake and said that he was delighted to have set a new world record. He said that he had been proud to have been a part of the celebrations of Guinness World Records Day and that it was a pleasure to have the unique creation of Gravity Industries recognized along with being celebrated around the globe.
The Guinness World Records Day brings people together from around the globe and from all walks of life, people who all have one common goal and that is to be amazing, said Craig Glenday, the Guinness World Records Editor In Chief. He went on to say that whether people choose to spin the biggest hula hoop or build along with fly an Iron Man suit, the achievements are from people who are dedicated to being the best.
The Guinness World Records was first launched in 2004 and it went on to become the bestselling book. This year more than 600,000 people around the globe are trying to secure a place in the history books alongside Browning.
Do you believe that maybe we are the aliens we are looking for all this time? Some experts say that people were most likely crossbred with other species. Perhaps from the star system Alpha Centauri — which is one of the closest solar systems to Earth — in the distant past, giving birth to modern humans.
Do you believe that maybe we are the aliens we are looking for all this time? Some experts say that people were most likely crossbred with other species.
Tell Al-Uhaymirit was a modern day in Iraq, in the area of the ancient Sumerian city of Kish. Archaeologists found one of the oldest ancient documents on the planet — the tablet of Kish which is believed to date back to the year 3500 BC.
They discovered that Kish was the first city to have kings following the deluge, beginning with Yushu’s. Yushu’s successor is called Kullassina-bel. This is actually a sentence in Akkadian meaning “All of them were lord”.
This ancient document is the writing of the Sumerians and the Egyptian hieroglyphs for almost one hundred years.
The ability to write this language is one of the first ways in which man differed from the animal kingdom.
We know that humans developed electricity, divided the atom, developed computers, and led man to the moon. We have achieved things that other species still haven’s.
No other species on earth can show this good and unique achievement in such a short period of time. Interestingly, compared to other species on earth, our ‘evolution’ is relatively short.
Can you imagine, if, for some reason, mankind had to return to the jungle, and survive there? Experts say that most of them would not survive for a very long period of time.
Scientists say that people are not very capable to have a big range of environments. Humans are very limited when it comes to our planet.
People, unlike animals, have fascinating intelligence. Biologists have found the contrast between human physiology and that of other animals on earth. Experts say that compared to other species on earth, humans are rather strange. For example, a baby giraffe when is born is able to walk and function almost independently. A human baby can not, which makes us quite helpless. We are born before being neurologically ready for life.
Human beings did not evolve alongside other lifeforms on Earth.
The book called ‘Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence’ is basically a resume of theories mostly against man’s evolution on Earth. In the book written by Dr. Ellis Silver, you can see him going through an evaluation of thirteen leading hypothesis and seventeen factors which suggest HUMANS ARE NOT FROM EARTH.
According to Dr. Ellis, humans might suffer from back pain because our species initially evolved on another planet with a lower gravity. It is strange that newborns have large heads and make it difficult for mothers to give birth, which can result in fatalities for both mother and child.
So what do you think, where do we come from?
There are millions of people around the globe who ‘feel’ that they do not belong on Earth.
Dr. Ellis says that “mankind may have evolved on a different planet, and we may have been brought here as a highly developed species. Maybe the Earth is a prison planet since we seem to be naturally violent species and we’re here until we learn to behave ourselves.”
Dr. Ellis thinks that mankind did not evolve from that particular strain of life, but was transported to Earth (as fully evolved Homo sapiens) between 60,000 and 200,000 years ago.
Where did Rh negative blood come from?
Is it possible to explain this by a rather controversial theory? A theory which suggests that humanity isn’t, in fact, one race, but a hybridized species.
Sepehr thinks that when one race dies, another has taken its place. With a few holding on to the memories and knowledge of the past race.
People think that we have discovered some of the great truths of science and technology. We are in fact only just beginning to rediscover the profound wisdom of past civilizations. Sepher thinks that we are like an awakening Species with Amnesia, learning to reclaim our forgotten past.

Scientists want to clone 50,000-year-old Cave lion cub in Jurassic Park-style experiment
Scientists want to clone 50,000-year-old Cave lion cub in Jurassic Park-style experiment
After a 50,000-year-old cave lion was found perfectly preserved in Siberia, scientists are now thinking about cloning the ancient lion in hopes to bring the species back to life.
The cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea) is a subspecies of feline that inhabited the European and Asian continent 50,000 years ago.
Today it is completely extinct, but a discovery in Russia has just opened the door to the possibility of resurrecting the species through cloning.
The body has been frozen for 50,000 years in the permafrost of the tundra that surrounds the Tirekhtykh River, in the Russian province of Yakutia.
The extreme cold of that region has served to keep the body in an impressive state.
Not only does it preserve all its bones, but also the skin and a large part of the soft tissues.
Scientists argue that the cub was between six and eight weeks old when it died due to unknown reasons. Experts hope that the cub’s teeth will reveal more about its age.
Dr. Albert Protopopov, head of the department of paleontology at the Yakutia Academy of Sciences believes that the specimen could give enough DNA samples to clone the species and resuscitate it, as scientists have been wanting to resurrect other species.
Cave lions were once considered the largest ‘big’ cats on the surface of the planet, living in extremely cold regions in the northern hemisphere before they were wiped out.
Speaking to the Siberian times, Dr. Protopopov said: “That means that the cubs were not younger than 25,000 years old. Previously the youngest date for the cubs was 12,000, the time when the cave lions become extinct.”
‘We made a CT scan and saw that their teeth had not appeared yet. Based on a comparison with African lions, we concluded that they were younger than one month, most likely between 1 and 2 weeks old.’
This discovery was made two years after the same experts found two newborn cave lion cubs called Uyan and Dina. At the time of the discovery, Dr. Protopopov said that compared to modern lion cubs, Uyan and Dina were very small, maybe a week or two old.
“The eyes were not quite open, they have baby teeth and not all had appeared,’ said Dr. Protopopov.
Experts are still unsure as to why the species became extinct. However, one theory suggests that the population of cave bears and deer – one source of prey – caused them to die out.
If you discovered your very own planet while scanning the night's sky of a Friday evening because you're not cool enough to hang out with the other kids down Kenton Wreck park, what would you call it?
Would you name it SusieQ1989 after your childhood sweetheart? What about Planet McPlanetyFace, the obvious option? Or there's Planet Zorg, simply because it sounds all Sci-Fi-esque and after all, the only reason to find new planets is to hopefully discover cool, sexy alien species and breed with, war with, or break bread with them. Possibly all three if you really fancy it.
However, a team of astronomers in the US has discovered a new planet, and they've called it OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb. Presumably the Ogle is in reference to the amount of time they spent ogling the night's sky. 2016 is probably the year and 1190lb the weight, but with BLG we can only presume or make stuff up.

What also might be made up is the notion that OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb is even a planet, the reason being that it's so big astronomers aren't sure it even falls under the category of planetary orbital object, otherwise known as a planet. In a report published through Cornell University Library, the scientists said:
"We report the discovery of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, which is likely to be the first Spitzer microlensing planet in the Galactic bulge/bar, an assignation that can be confirmed by two epochs of high-resolution imaging of the combined source-lens baseline object.
"The planet's mass M_p= 13.4+-0.9 M_J places it right at the deuterium burning limit, i.e., the conventional boundary between 'planets' and 'brown dwarfs'."

Earth: probably a planet

Confusing as that undoubtedly is, the report went on to say: "Its existence raises the question of whether such objects are really 'planets' (formed within the disks of their hosts) or 'failed stars' (low mass objects formed by gas fragmentation).
"This question may ultimately be addressed by comparing disk and bulge/bar planets, which is a goal of the Spitzer microlens programme."
Essentially, therefore, the question as to whether a massive object in the universe is a planet or a brown dwarf boils down to whether the object was formed through gas fragmentation or within a host, a bit like in Alien.
Deep space probe, interstellar explorer, and envoy to alien civilisations, Voyager 1 has already racked up an impressive resume to which songwriter can now be added. Using data from the unmanned spacecraft, Dr Domenico Vicinanza, of Anglia Ruskin University and GEANT, and Dr Genevieve Williams, of the University of Exeter, have created a musical composition to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the pathfinding mission.
In 1619, Johannes Kepler published his treatise Harmonices Mundi, in which he combined his astronomical data about the orbit of the planets with his ideas about the geometric harmony of the universe to create what is commonly known as the Music of the Spheres. On November 13 at the NASA Booth at the SC17 Supercomputing Conference in Denver, Colorado, a 21st century equivalent will make its world premiere.
The three-minute number was created using a process known as data sonification, where the data about protons, alpha particles, and heavier nuclei in space from Voyager's Low-Energy Charged Particle (LECP) telescope and spacecraft trajectory were used to create melody, harmony and orchestration. The information was collected by the probe from 1977 until this month with each 26-day period converted into one note. The composition includes the moment when Voyager entered interstellar spacein 2012.
The solemn main melody played by the second violins is based on the cosmic ray count, which changes over to flute, piccolo and glockenspiel at the 2012 mark. Meanwhile, piano and French horns double the violins to mark the flybys of Jupiter and Saturn, where the cosmic ray count fluctuated as they passed close by the gas giants. The passage through the heliopause is a key change from C major to E flat major with an alternation of orchestration and harmony.
"Our orchestra score is more than just inspired by one of the most successful space missions of all time, it is shaped entirely by Voyager 1's incredible journey," says Vicinanza. "Data sonification can play an important role in helping to share scientific discoveries and we hope that by converting 40 years of data into music, listeners will be able to hear aspects of Voyager 1's journey that are perhaps not so obvious when looking at graphs of data."

Voyager 1 is one of the two deep space probes sent by NASA to study the outer planets and the frontiers of the Solar System. The 722 -kg (1,590-lb) spacecraft was launched on September 5, 1977 and is powered by three radiothermal generators. In 1979, it flew by Jupiter and in 1980 it visited Saturn. As it did so, the giant planets sent Voyager on a one-way slingshot trajectory toward interstellar space at a speed of 17.043 km/s (38,120 mph) relative to the Sun.

The 11 times UFOs were reported in the West Midlands
The 11 times UFOs were reported in the West Midlands
Websites have been set up for people to log extraterrestrial spots, and there are several every year across Birmingham and the Black Country
By Isolde Walters
The X-Files might be off the television now, but it would appear UFO sightings remain very much a thing in the West Midlands.
Websites have been set up for people to log extraterrestrial spots, and there are several every year across Birmingham, the Black Country and the wider area.
Some may scoff but hundreds of people are convinced they have had such encounters.
Here are the 11 out-of-this-world UFO sightings taken from these sites which might just have you believing there really is something out there…
1) "We thought it was a burning plane”
UFO witness Lisa was in the front garden of her Solihull house when she saw an orange flickering ball in the sky.
“My immediate thought was that it looked like a plane on fire, but it clearly wasn’t.
“It moved far too fast to be a plane - we live near the flight path so we are used to seeing planes. I watched it for probably only a few seconds and saw as it travelled across the sky, not down, reduced in size and then disappeared.”
She was convinced that the mysterious aircraft was proof of life on other planets.
(This isn't an actual UFO photo)
2) The stargazer who saw something he couldn’t explain
Amateur astronomer Adam trained his telescope on Jupiter to watch a satellite trail across the sky and saw something he had never seen in 18 years of skygazing.
“Suddenly a white light flew across the sky at a speed I have never seen before in any man-made tech. I didn’t hear a boom as expected with such speed, just a faint hum. It was no meteor - it was also very low and the light was very bright. I saw it for three seconds before it had travelled across the entire sky and out of sight.”
Adam knew he had witnessed extraterrestrial life, but never told anyone, for fear that he would not be believed.
3) A cigarette and an alien
Late one night, Errol was smoking a cigarette in the garden with his partner Danni. They looked up to see an object hurtling through the sky towards them.
“It was not a plane or a helicopter or a Chinese lantern. There was no sound and it was hard to focus on it because it was so bright.”
Errol and Danni rushed inside, locked the door and watched as the mysterious object floated off.
4) The little girl and the black shadows
This encounter sounds like the beginning of a sci fi blockbuster. Mr Hulin tucked his granddaughter into bed but two hours later he heard her crying for her mother.
“She said that nine or ten black shadows were over her bed. There was one white ghost with no mouth but this one was friendly. The black shadows were trying to hold her hand so she went under the quilt. She said this made them angry. She says they left in a pink car with no lights on it and went into the sky. She said, ‘I don’t know what planet they went to’.
“This was very unusual for a four-year-old to say. My granddaughter is very intelligent and we all agreed she did not make it up.”
Too much sugar or a terrifying encounter with the paranormal? We’ll never know.
5) The yellow full moon UFO
Waiting for the lift down from his 16th floor flat, Scott looked out of the window and saw a UFO.
“There was a huge light in the sky. It was the size of a full moon moving slowly towards Wolverhampton. It was bright yellow in colour and almost perfectly round.”
UFO over a city
6) Is that a firework… or a spaceship?
The day after bonfire night you may expect to see some fireworks but Julian Lewis was adamant that what he saw driving home on 6 November 2010 was no firework.
“I saw this bright fireball in the sky. It was so bright up there it was scary. I stopped the car in excitement and shock. It just stopped and stayed right above me very high up.
“It got brighter and brighter and was giving off rays, very much like the sun does. May I add that at no time did this thing make any sound.”
Julian jumped into his car and drove home, before writing up his encounter on a UFO sightings website.
7) The spaceship with football stadium spot lights
In this instance, a man called Phill had just passed his driving test and had treated himself to a new car. He and a friend parked outside his house and saw what he assumed was a helicopter in the sky. He turned his lights on to their brightest setting and watched the aircraft.
“It was triangular in shape with a bar of white lights that looked like football ground spot lights across the front. The bottom of the craft had a pattern of colours that kept changing from red, green and blue.”
Phill and his friend watched in horror as the aircraft slowly twisted and sped off across the night’s sky, leaving him convinced that it was not-of-this-world.
“To this day I can’t think what earthly thing it could have been,” he said.
8) The fighter jet spaceships that ruined Emmerdale
A poster called Mike was settling down to watch Emmerdale when a rumbling sound like a jet shook his house.
“The sound blasted over the TV and the whole house felt like it trembled. I looked at my wife and said, ‘these are no jets’. I took my camera out to the front of the house and there were four red UFOs going over the street.”
Mike snapped as the strange planes zoomed over his head. Are these grainy pictures evidence that the aliens are among us?
9) The mysterious sphere that floats above Sandwell hospital
It seems like aliens visit hospitals too.
In this instance, a spherical metallic blue object was seen hovering over Sandwell hospital.
A spotter called Darren explained: “At first I thought it was a helicopter but there wasn’t any sound. So then I thought it was a balloon, but it wasn’t moving in this light wind.”
The real question is: why are aliens visiting Sandwell hospital?
Sitting at his desk in a Redditch office, Neil heard a colleague shouting, “UFO!” He followed him outside to see a large, long tube darting across the sky.
“It was as high as a normal passenger jet. But it had no wings or tail, just a long metal tube, rounded at both ends.”
He took a picture on his phone but the object was mysteriously invisible in the photograph.
“I can’t explain what I saw, even though I want to dismiss it. Then I heard local reports over the weekend that there were several sightings in Bromsgrove on the same day.”
11) Graveyard sighting
Walking through a graveyard in Kidderminster, Katherine noticed two street lights suspended across the churchyard.
“When I got closer, I realised that the lights were separate and were moving away. It was quite misty but the lights were clearly visible for about a minute.
“They were completely round with a triangle of light coming out of the back. There was no noise.”
Katherine fled from the ghostly vision and knew she had become one of the few people to witness a UFO.
If “the truth” is truly out there, then History is banking on viewers wanting to get to the bottom of where that search for the truth really began with new UFO drama series Blue Book. Executive produced by Oscar winner Robert Zemeckis, the ten-episode series has found its female lead in Laura Mennell (The Man in the High Castle) who will star opposite Aidan Gillen in the scripted drama series. Robert Stromberg (Maleficent) will direct the first two episodes of the series; created and written on by David O’Leary, with Sean Jablonski serving as showrunner.
Here’s a brief overview of what Blue Book is all about:
“Blue Book chronicles the true top secret U.S. Air Force-sponsored investigations into UFO-related phenomena in the 1950s and ’60s, known as “Project Blue Book.” Gillen plays Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a brilliant astrophysicist, family man, and UFO skeptic who is recruited as the Chief Scientific Advisor to “Project Blue Book.” Mennell will play Allen’s wife, Mimi Hynek, who is seemingly a content stay-at-home housewife but has plans to become much more.”
O’Leary and Jablonski will co-executive produce the series alongside Zemeckis; and Jack Rapke and Jackie Levine from Compari Entertainment. A+E Studios and Compari Entertainment (a division of Zemeckis’ ImageMovers) will handle overall production.
Mennell’s series responsibilities could be keeping her pretty busy very soon: she also co-stars opposite Ron Livingston in Peter Farrelly‘s comedy series Loudermilkfor the Audience Network. Though Blue Book is her first priority, if Loudermilk is renewed for a second season then she could be available for more episodes if shooting schedules permit. Mennellis is also set to recur in Amazon’s The Man In the High Castle.
Along with Blue Book, History has begun casting its second scripted series: The Breach: Inside the Impeachment of Bill Clinton, from producer R.J. Cutler.
As someone trained in mystical thought, I believe there is a case for the consciousness model when considering brief UFO sightings.
When the idea of consciousness began entering the research conversation in Ufology, it caused a bit of an uproar and there has been mixed feelings to the topic. Many people in the UFO research were put off by the squishy notion of telepathy and psychic phenomena being a significant component in the UFO research dialogue.
If you talk to folks familiar with the Close Encounter Five philosophy, the notion of communication with off-worlders and UFO crafts that are “alive in an artificial intelligence context” is a very real consideration.
Close Encounter Five (CE-5) is classified as “Human to Alien” initiated communication. The concept behind CE-5 is that aliens have highly refined telepathic abilities. Likewise their craft seem to be highly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capable of telepathic communication. The CE-5 folks have protocols for reaching out with their meditative minds and telepathically touching the aliens or their AI crafts. This has been going on for some time, in the form of individual efforts and CE-5 group gatherings.
I’ve been reading UFO sighting reports on a weekly basis for nearly five years. One thing I read repeatedly is descriptions like, “There it was for a few seconds and it winked out or it suddenly disappeared.”
Think of this scenario: Someone is outside for a smoke or out walking the dog. They are relaxed and peaceful, letting go of the day’s stresses and challenges. The sky is clear, and the stars are shining in a majestic display. A situation like this has a deeply calming effect on most people.
Then bam! This individual has an amazing UFO sighting experience for a few seconds or perhaps for as long as a minute, then the phenomenon just disappears. The event is astonishing enough to prompt the individual to report it to NUFORC (National UFO Reporting Center) or MUFON (Mutual UFO Network).
As a shaman, I see a familiar metaphysical occurrence. It’s something I like to call “a flash perception.” Think of it as a few moments of incredibly intuitive clarity.
Our day-to-day mindset is what’s called our ordinary mind. When we have one of these flash perceptions, our consciousness shifts from the ordinary mind to an altered state of consciousness. In effect, the boundaries of our reality perception stretches a bit.
In this altered state, we might perhaps have a sense of déjà vu, or have a flash of a loved one in peril, or a precognitive burst of some future event. It might even be the creative twinkle of what many in the creative arts call the muse’s “Divine Kiss.”
The bottom line: Ordinary people can and do experience an altered view of reality from time to time. In this unique view, they may perceive things that the ordinary mind can’t comprehend. For example, in a dream state we all experience many things that really made real sense while we were dreaming– but after waking up these things lack conceptualization and words to explain it.
I hypothesize that people in a relaxed state of mind might be occasionally treated to an “intuitive, waking dreamlike event” of an out-of-this-world craft. Is the craft really there? Yes!
But the craft might be just out of our ordinary reality view to see it. Some might be quick to say this sort of event might be just a hallucination, but it’s not.
All human beings have the capacity for having such transcendent experiences. The average person rarely has these events. For the person born with more attuned psychic gifts, these events happen much more often. For those trained as mystical adepts, these altered states can be induced with deeper states of meditation. Some tribal practices use ceremonial medicinal
herbs to induce such states, but you don’t have to be under the influence of a psychotropic substance to have this sort of experience.
My point boils down to this: Some UFO sighting experiences are not seen with the naked eye but rather with the intuitive mind’s eye during brief periods of intuitive clarity.

Taurid Meteor Shower 2017: When, Where & How to See It This Weekend
Taurid Meteor Shower 2017: When, Where & How to See It This Weekend
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
While the Taurid meteor shower doesn't have a lot of shooting stars to offer, the few that will streak across the sky in the coming days will be bright, spectacular fireballs. The North Taurid meteor shower is at its peak now!
Skywatchers in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres will have two different peak viewing times. But the estimated dates have some wiggle room, because meteor rates will be consistently low throughout the meteor shower. Typically, the Taurids produce only a handful of visible meteors per hour.
In 2017, the North Taurid meteor shower will peak overnight on Nov. 11-12 for viewers in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, the South Taurid meteor shower peaked overnight on Oct. 10, according to the American Meteor Society. However, viewers in both hemispheres can still see meteors through late November.
The Taurids are associated with Comet Encke. As this object orbits the sun, it leaves a trail of comet crumbs in its wake. In some years, when Jupiter's orbit brings it close to the comet's trail, the gas giant's gravity nudges the comet particle stream toward Earth, so more meteors are visible to observers here. Astronomers call this an "outburst." That isn't expected to happen this year, but the latest predictions suggest that an outburst will happen in 2019, NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke told Space.com.
Most meteor showers come from tiny fragments that burn up in Earth's atmosphere, but calculations indicate that Comet Encke's debris could produce meteors big enough to survive the trip to the ground. These meteorites have not been discovered yet, Cooke said, adding that such a discovery would be a "holy grail of meteorites." No one knows how big a Taurid meteorite might be, but Cooke said the comet chunks are estimated to weigh a few ounces.
When to see them
Cooke said that it can be hard to pick the best day to look for the Taurids, because the meteor shower is visible for several weeks. The best results will happen in the early morning (just before dawn) from any dark location. On peak viewing days, there may be only a few more meteors per hour than on other days, so the difference is hardly noticeable, he said.
"The rates are low, so be prepared to look for a while," Cooke said.
Observers may also spot some stray shooting stars that are unrelated to the Taurids. These will appear to originate somewhere other than the constellation Taurus and will travel in random directions through the night sky. Moonlight won't overly interfere with the peak of the northern Taurids, but watch for it at other times around the peak (and try to time your observations for when the moon is not in the sky).
The Northern Taurids run from October 19th to December 10th annually. The weak shower, with only 5 meteors per hour at the peak, is derived from material left by the passage of periodic Comet 2P/Encke. The debris' larger than average grains often produce colorful fireballs. Watch on Saturday evening, before the last quarter moon rises.
The Taurids are visible practically anywhere on Earth, except for the South Pole. They appear to originate in the constellation Taurus the bull. To find Taurus, look for the constellation Orion and then peer to the northeast to find the red star Aldebaran, the star in the bull's eye.
Don't look directly at Taurus to find meteors; the shooting stars will be visible all over the night sky. Make sure to move your gaze around the nearby constellations. Meteors closer to the radiant have shorter trails and are more difficult to spot. If you look only at Taurus, you might miss the shooting stars with the most spectacular trails.
What causes the Taurids?
The Taurids come from Comet Encke, a short-term periodic comet that orbits the sun about once every 3.3 years. It was first spotted by Pierre Mechain in 1786 and was first recognized as a periodic comet in the 1800s by Johann Franz Encke.

As the comet moves around the solar system, it leaves behind bits of material that are called meteoroids. If those comet chunks enter the Earth's atmosphere, they are called meteors. The friction they encounter while speeding through the Earth's atmosphere heats them up, sometimes making them visible from the ground. Those chunks that reach the ground, if ever discovered, would be called meteorites.
How to get the best view
Meteor showers require no special equipment to view. Just travel to an area that has few lights, away from major cities. Get comfortable on your back, staring straight up at the sky. This will let you view more meteors than by staring in one direction.
Spot the Millennium Falcon with the Force of Google Maps!
Spot the Millennium Falcon with the Force of Google Maps!

The Millennium Falcon may have made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, but apparently its stealth mode leaves something to be desired. Han Solo's famous "Star Wars" spaceship is hidden in plain sight — at least for viewers browsing the satellite views provided by Google Maps.
The Falcon's landing zone is surrounded by shipping containers on the edge of Longcross Film Studios in Chertsey, Surrey, according to The Sun. The English studio has been involved in films including "World War Z," "Thor 2," "Skyfall" and "Fast & Furious 6," its website reads. The Falcon seems to have first been spotted back in June by eagle-eyed Pete Hibbert, according to Jedi News.
Check out the Falcon in the map below (you'll notice it has been helpfully labeled, and even has a collection of reviews from some online jokesters):
At the time of publication, the Millennium Falcon is rated 4.6 stars.
Han Solo's famous flier is partially covered by a tarp, but is clearly recognizable, and looks ready to fly right into "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," which comes out in theaters Dec. 15. A recent trailer for the film shows a reunion between Luke Skywalker and the Falcon — both much older than their last encounter in the first "Star Wars" trilogy. An upcoming moviespotlighting Han Solo's origins is scheduled for May 25, 2018.
Supernova's Expanding 'Echo' of Light Captured by Hubble Telescope
Supernova's Expanding 'Echo' of Light Captured by Hubble Telescope
By Calla Cofield, Space.com Senior Writer
It did not go quietly into the night: An exploding star left behind an echo of light, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
In a sequence of images captured over the course of two years, Hubble scientists tracked a ring of light as it appeared to expand outward into space. This light came from an initial stellar explosion — which was first identified three years ago — reflecting off a nearby gas cloud, according to a statement from the Space Telescope Science Institute's Hubble site.

"Voices reverberating off mountains and the sound of footsteps bouncing off walls are examples of an echo," the statement said. "Space has its own version of an echo. It's not made with sound, but with light and occurs when light bounces off dust clouds." [The Hubble Telescope's 10 Most Amazing Discoveries]

The initial explosion was a supernova called SN 2014J, discovered on Jan. 21, 2014, in the nearby galaxy M82, located 11.4 million light-years away from Earth. Stars larger than the sun turn into supernovas when they run out of fuel, leading to a chain reaction of energetic events including the explosion of material.
"So far, astronomers have spotted only 15 light echoes around supernovae outside our Milky Way galaxy," according to the statement. "Light-echo detections from supernovae are rarely seen, because they must be nearby for a telescope to resolve them."
