Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    ‘Signs’ and Wonders: Interpreting Shyamalan’s Alien Blockbuster In the Age of Hyperreality

    Inspired by the crop circle phenomenon, the 2002 movie Signsdraws broadly from the UFO mythos and, in one of its more comical scenes, has three of its characters huddled together in tinfoil hats, wracked by paranoia. Beyond such cliché, however, M. Night Shyamalan’s film exhibits a deeper—perhaps subconscious—awareness of the UFO phenomenon and of the effects of its mass-mediation in the post-modern world.

    In the film, a Pennsylvanian farming family—headed by old-fashioned priest and widower Reverend Graham Hess (Mel Gibson)—is thrown into turmoil when a crop formation appears overnight in their corn field. From TV news coverage we learn that hundreds of similar crop ‘signs’ have appeared suddenly and simultaneously around the world, baffling experts. Graham is quietly concerned and seeks to distance his family from the inexplicable events unfolding around them by refusing them access to the media circus now spoon-feeding the hungry masses. “See, this is why we’re not watching TV,” says Graham, “people get obsessed.” For Graham, despite the undeniable physical reality of the sign in his corn field, and his own gut instinct that something strange is afoot, it is only through their mediation by TV news reports that the bizarre events can assume a sense of the ‘real.’

    Discussing Jean Baudrillard’s notions of hyperreality, John Storey notes that, “Representation does not stand at one remove from reality, to conceal or distort it, it is reality”; implicitly aware of this, Graham opts to sever his own access to media imagery, leaving him free to interpret the outside events as he chooses and to continue to inhabit his own secure, albeit emotionally stagnant, reality. It is only when Graham catches a glimpse of an alien in his corn field one night that he submits to his family’s desire to be mediated (“Okay, let’s turn on the TV”). It is Graham’s submission to television that plants him firmly in the “present age” to which Feuerbach refers in The Essence of Christianity: an age “which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence…” For Graham, the grieving widower and priest faced with an incomprehensible threat to his family, now, more than ever, “Illusion only is sacred, truth profane.”

    The reality of the situation is unpalatable for Graham, so he opts to filter it through the lens of television.

    As the family watch live footage of numerous UFOs over Mexico City, Graham’s brother Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix) quips: “the nerds were right”—a reference to the generic UFO believers he had mocked in an earlier scene. Shyamalan’s decision to have the alien craft arrive over Mexico City was inspired by the real-life mass-sightings of UFOs over this same locale during the solar eclipse of July 11, 1991 when hundreds of people witnessed what appeared to be a number of hovering, metallic, disc-shaped objects. Signs again draws from the UFO mythos during a scene in which Merrill reacts with horror as the TV news runs grainy, daylight footage of an alien prowling the backstreets of Paso Fundo, Brazil. This is an oblique reference the famous “Varginha incident” of 1996 in which three teenage girls claimed to have been traumatized by a daylight encounter with an unearthly entity in the Brazilian city of Varginha.

    M. Night Shyamalan directs Abigail Breslin.

    Several scenes later, the whole family has succumbed entirely to the mystical power of their television as they stare passively at the numerous “lights” now hovering over Washington DC and over hundreds of cities worldwide. Such is the magnetism of their TV screen that, rather than driving to the nearest city in an attempt to see the lights for themselves, or even simply stepping outside to glance up at the sky, the family considers it more natural to watch the events on television and, most importantly, to record them. “We have to tape this,” urges Graham’s son, Morgan, “this is very important… the history of the world’s future is on the TV right now,” telling his younger sister Bo (Abigail Breslin), “We need to record this so you can show your children this tape and say you were there.” Clearly, the Hess family understand, as theorist John Fiske does, that the postmodern media do not simply provide, “secondary representations of reality; they affect and produce the reality that they mediate,” and that, “all events that ‘matter’ are media events.”

    Glued to the screen.

    As the saucer-shaped lights twinkle overhead, the anchorman informs viewers that “This image has not been adjusted or enhanced in anyway. What you’re seeing is real. It’s unbelievable.” Later in the film, Graham asks himself, “Is this really happening?” Such dialogue points to an awareness on Shayamalan’s part that the literal existence of UFOs is difficult to accept, not because of what UFOs might represent (otherworldly intelligences), but because of how the phenomenon has been mediated (i.e. ridiculed) for over sixty years. Shayamalan’s concerns along these lines are expressed subtly in his decision to confine his UFOs and aliens securely to his characters’ TV screen as objects of media scrutiny for all but a few seconds of the film’s total running time.

    “What you’re seeing is real. It’s unbelievable.”

    The extent to which the family’s perception of UFOs has been historically mediated is also effectively illustrated through their inability to envisage what horrors might be unfolding beyond the four corners of their TV screen. When both their television and radio cease to function as a result of the unseen invasion outside, in the total absence of media to guide their perceptions, the Hess family are lost, as demonstrated when a terrified Merrill asks: “What’s going on out there?” A question to which Graham can only respond: “I can’t even imagine.” Indeed, in an earlier scene, when Merrill does attempt to make use of his imagination, he can’t help but fall back on iconographic imagery conjured by classic UFOlogical fiction, describing the scenes on TV as being “like War of the Worlds.”

    During the film’s climax in which an alien intruder holds Morgan hostage in the Hess family’s living room, Shyamalan again chooses to objectify the aliens through television—this time quite literally. When Graham finally sees the alien up close it is in the form of a reflection in his TV screen, and, again, when the creature is defeated and lies dying on the floor, we see only its reflection in the glass of the television. Are aliens real, or do they exist purely as media constructs? In Signs, Shayamalan seems to answer the question with a question: “in today’s hyperreal society, does it even matter?”

    One of several shots in ‘Signs’ in which the image of the alien is distorted quite literally through the televisual medium.

    Signs is an anomaly in the UFO subgenre. Consciously or not, it engages with the UFO subject through the intellectual framework of spectatorship and hyperreality. As a meditation on UFOs as a media abstraction (viewed most comfortably through the filter of television), the film serves as a reflection of popular attitudes towards the phenomenon today, demonstrating that, when it comes to UFOs, even Hollywood in its mass-mediation of the phenomenon is acutely aware that there is no longer a clear distinction between a ‘real’ event and its media representation.

    Scientists Transmit Songs to Planet With Potential Alien Life

    There are serious questions being pondered and actions being taken by our top minds these days and there’s no reason why the thought process shouldn’t be open to all humans, especially since the end result could potentially put all humans in danger of being destroyed by aliens … especially aliens who don’t like techno-pop music. The questions? Would you broadcast radio signals at a planet that may contain alien life? If you say yes, would you send music or words? If you chose music, what songs would you send? Space Oddity? Rocket Man? The 1812 Overture? Space Cowboy?

    GeekWire reports that a group of scientists and artists calling themselves Sónar Calling GJ273b didn’t bother to ask us before transmitting signals on three successive days, Oct. 16-18, from the EISCAT radio antenna in Tromsø, Norway. The transmissions were aimed at GJ273b, a planet twice the mass of Earth, orbiting GJ273 or Luyten’s Star, a red dwarf in the constellation Canis Major. GJ273b is in a habitable zone orbit and could harbor life, so it’s a prime target for messaging extraterrestrial intelligence (METI) according to METI International, a co-sponsor of Sónar Calling GJ273b.

    Can’t they already hear this?

    The other sponsors are the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia, Spain, and the Sónar music festival in Barcelona. So the inhabitants of GJ273b will someday be tapping their toes (or whatever appendages they’ve developed) to flamenco, opera, Spanish jazz and classical guitar songs – right?

    We will turn the EISCAT transmitter into a musical instrument, sending basic melodies by transmitting pulses at a series of different radio frequencies that maintain the same sort of intervals between one another that we see in the intervals between musical notes.

    What is that … polka? (Sorry, polka fans). Do we want them to like us or hate us? Douglas Vakoch, president of METI International, says those “pulses” were composed especially for this project by people like sound artist Holly Herndon, French composer Jean-Michel Jarre and the experimental electronic-music duo Matmos.

    That might not be too bad … except the Sónar Calling pieces are only 10 seconds long and transmitted as binary code at two frequencies, 929.0 MHz and 930.2 MHz. The signal will also contain some sort of ‘cosmic clock’ to help ETs figure out our concept of time … which will help them know when to clap to the music.

    People like Stephen Hawking think METI is a bad idea, but this musical cat is out of the bag, man, so we should have some input into what’s being sent to other life forms. This could be an exercise that brings us all together. Then again, have you ever been involved in picking out music for a DJ to play at a wedding?

    Would aliens request Freebird?

    What could possibly go wrong? It’s worth a shot. My vote is for some New Orleans jazz like When the Saints Go Marching In. Even aliens should like that. And if they don’t, they can play it at our funeral after they destroy Earth.

    What music would you send to an extraterrestrial civilization?

    Fast Moving Meteor-Like Object from Space Captured by ISS Astronaut

    ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli captured a meteor-like object slam into Earth’s atmosphere and burning up over the Atlantic Ocean on November 5, 2017 from the International Space Station.


    The space object, traveling at roughly 24 miles per second (40km/s), was sighted over the Atlantic Ocean, off the west coast of South Africa.

    Several lightning flashes were also recorded by Nespoli as the Space Station flew from the southern Atlantic Ocean over to Kazakhstan.

    Does Astronaut’s Visor Reflection Shows A Mysterious Figure On The Moon?

    Many people believe that the Apollo moon landings were one of the biggest hoaxes in human history. They believe that NASA has created this hoax. They actually never traveled to the moon and that everything was staged and filmed here on earth.


    Personally I believe that the moon landings were real but if you look at a particular moon landing image showing one of the astronauts and you look at a close-up view of the astronaut’s helmet then in the visor reflection you see a mysterious figure that doesn’t really look like an astronaut.

    Now conspiracy theorists suggest that the mysterious figure could be a member of the film crew who has filmed the so-called moon landing here on earth.

    Rather than a member of the film crew maybe the strange figure in the visor reflection is just the second astronaut with his camera strapped to his chest of his astronaut’s space suit aimed towards the first astronaut as seen in the image or the image was taken from a steady, tripod-mounted camera using the camera timer before taking the image?

    Maybe but then again, if you compare the astronaut in his astronaut’s space suit with the strange figure as seen in the visor reflection then indeed the figure doesn’t really look like an astronaut but more like a person sitting on a square-like box.

    Image above: Left - astronaut in space suit, Middle – figure in visor reflection, Right – same figure “sitting on a square-like box” but in negative image.

    Here is the original NASA link and decide for yourself whether the figure in the visor reflection is the second astronaut, a member of the film crew on earth or something else.

    Eyewitness Illustrations of UFOs From Declassified Drawings

    ufo-1975

    The Ministry of Defence (MoD) of the British Government had a UFO desk and telephone hotline that collected around 11,000 cryptic sightings between 1962 and 2009 from across the UK. The formerly classified files have been made accessible to the public. Among reports on UFOs and mysterious lights are drawings that attempt to describe the sightings.

    Book author David Clarke said that sketches of UFOs might appear naïve or worthless if viewed from a purely aesthetic viewpoint. However, they are uniquely valuable historical documents in their own right and give light on how popular culture of the age and events imprinted on the imaginations of the people.

    Among the most exciting drawings on declassified witness reports are the elementary school children’s crude crayon on construction paper drawings. The children claimed to have witnessed a flying saucer in 1977 altogether. Another notable illustration is a beautiful painting of bright white object spotted above a roof in Harborne in 1975.

    The drawings depict the incredible diversity of movement, colours, and shape of the UFOs, ranging from soaring discs to dark triangular ships, and large hovering eggs. Each sketch and painting is with a personal account.

    The MoD desk may be closed for good, but the visual record of these personal experiences will remain the evidence of a widespread, mysterious event.

    Police Receives A Lot of Reports On The Strange Fireball From Anxious Germans

    ufo-germany

    A bizarre fireball in a dramatic appearance was observed speeding through the sky over Germany. Citizens in Italy and Switzerland had also seen the UFO getting brighter and giving out the blue and green light. German police speculated that it was a celestial body.

    The UFO sighting video shows the bright aerial thing speeding over the town of Hoeschen, sparking speculations about aliens. It then faded into the distance.

    The fireball resulted in the number of calls received by the police. A police spokesman said that they could not tell what the bright light was.

    Christian Hoppe, German air traffic control spokesman, said they could not tell anything other than saying that it was not an aircraft.

    Anxious witnesses took to Twitter to share their thoughts about what they had observed.

    Aliens spacecraft, a meteor, or a crashing Chinese space stations are just among the possibilities being put forward on the social media.

    Most witnesses of the UFO came from the German states of Saarland, Baden-Wuerttemberg, as well as the southern part of Hesse. However, the same UFO was also spotted in Switzerland and Italy, particularly on the other side of the Alps at Lake Garda.

    Villagers Worry About Mysterious Lights In The Sky Staying In A Formation

    ukraine-ufo

    Rumours of an alien invasion started to spread after seven lights that stayed in one formation as if linked appeared in the sky above the village of Novogradovka in Odessa Oblast, Ukraine. The bizarre sights raised suspicions of UFO invasion or visitation. One social media user went as far as likening the flying shapes to a variation of the Starfleet insignia utilised in the Star Trek television shows and movies.

    Ivan Rusev, who posted the footage online, claimed that the objects just appeared suddenly in the sky and remained visible for about 12-15 minutes.

    There have been reports that the lights were used as targets for Ukrainian marines for their training, but no details were released, including what they were made of.

    Residents were worried about the incident, but an army spokesman came out to assure them that there was no reason for any concern.

    However, social media users aired out their views. One user posted that those UFOs came to claim what is theirs while another said that it looks like something is bound to happen.

    Another witness added that it appears like massive fireballs making a formation at high altitude and wondered why do those things appear now, what triggers them and why no reports on them before.

    OVNIS : la guerre de la conscience

    EN EXCLUSIVITE pour OVNIS-DIRECT par Philippe SOLAL, Professeur Agrégé de Philosophie
    I. Le matérialisme des neurosciences

    Le titre de cet article reprend celui d’une conférence Tedx (Whitechapel), donnée le 12 janvier 2013 par l’écrivain britannique Graham Hancock, conférence intitulée « La guerre de la conscience » (« The War on Consciousness »), entendue comme une guerre contre la conscience. Le propos qui y est développé est admirable, il touche du doigt la nouvelle interprétation du phénomène OVNI que je développe avec les auteurs de l’ouvrage Ovnis et Conscience, et comme on pouvait s’y attendre, la vidéo de cette intervention  fut ensuite bannie de la chaine des Tedx, car jugée bien trop subversive par rapport à la science officielle matérialiste.

    C’est désormais sur le terrain des neurosciences que va se jouer l’avenir de la recherche ufologique et non plus sur celui de la physique. Les physiciens étaient autrefois au premier plan dans le débat permettant de savoir si les évolutions aériennes des OVNIS pouvaient donner lieu à une explication d’ordre physique, et ce débat incluait la cosmologie et la structure globale de l’univers. Les sceptiques ne peuvent plus trop faire confiance à la physique pour défendre leur position depuis que celle-ci a révélé toute l’étrangeté du monde quantique et sa propension à nous faire dangereusement penché du côté de la conscience. Le radeau n’est pas assez solide. Désormais, c’est le terrain des neurosciences et des sciences cognitives que ceux-ci investissent pour contester l’existence même de la conscience et en stigmatiser les errements par le recours à un réductionnisme massif. Cap, toute voile levée, vers le cerveau. 

    On nous explique désormais que tous les témoignages d’OVNIS reposent sur un mécanisme cérébral qui génère des faux souvenirs dans le présent. Les rencontres rapprochées ? Des hallucinations liées aux paralysies du sommeil, vu que, comme chacun sait, c’est vers 6h du matin que les RR3 se produisent le plus fréquemment et que c’est aussi à cette heure que se produisent en majorité de telles paralysies. Les NDE ? Une molécule dans le cerveau dont l’excitation, selon des conditions spécifiques, produit une vision hallucinatoire, toujours identique, avec tunnel, lumière blanche etc. On pourrait même, parait-il, en provoquer sur commande !

    Mais il y a plus : la conscience n’existe pas.  Les neurosciences nous disent que tout est cérébral, matériel. Grâce aux IRM et autres moyens technologiques dont la science s’est dotée, on a expliqué ce qu’est la conscience : un « espace de travail global », comme l’écrit Stanislas Dehaene dans son ouvrage très remarqué, Le Code de la conscience. Celui-ci a pu distinguer par résonance magnétique fonctionnelle les territoires du cortex cérébral mobilisés par un traitement conscient et non conscient de l’information. Quand, nous dit-il, le sujet traite un stimulus visuel, un mot, de façon non consciente, seules quelques aires, essentiellement postérieures, « s'allument ». Au contraire, quand il y a accès à l'espace conscient, les territoires corticaux mis en activité sont beaucoup plus vastes et incluent en priorité le cortex frontal.

    Les travaux de Stanislas Dahaene sont d’une remarquable précision et il faudrait être sot pour ne pas en saluer la valeur.  Ils se situent dans la cadre de l’approche matérialiste de la conscience comme l’ont fait avant lui Jean-Pierre Changeux (L’homme neuronal) ou plus récemment François Anceau (Vers une étude objective de la conscience) et bien d’autres avec eux.  Là où se situe la contestation, de nature philosophique, concerne les conclusions auxquelles aboutissent leurs travaux respectifs : le réductionnisme de la conscience à des fonctions cérébrales, c’est-à-dire la naturalisation de la conscience.  On confond ici la perception consciente et la conscience, le traitement de l’information par le cerveau (qu’il soit global, séquentiel ou hyper-parallèle) et la saisie conjointe du monde extérieur et de sa propre identité par la conscience. La conscience est une connaissance immédiate irréductible à toute modélisation à partir des concepts issus de l’univers de l’intelligence artificielle, car elle transcende toute description en termes de schéma fonctionnel. 

    Stanislas Dehaene, dans la vidéo suivante, se réfère de manière très pertinente, à Descartes et à sa théorie des animaux-machines :
    Pour Descartes, les animaux n’ont pas de conscience, ce sont des machines, semblables en tous points à des automates, dont les actions et réactions comportementales obéissent à un mécanisme. Mais Descartes rejette ce réductionnisme pour l’homme, qu’il dote d’une conscience non réductible au mécanisme et à la matière. La conscience appartient à une autre « substance » que la matière et qu’il nomme l’âme. Descartes s’appuie sur la « flexibilité » constitutive de la capacité de verbalisation de l’homme, autrement dit sur le langage et la pensée libre qu’il révèle, irréductible au nécessitarisme d’un pur mécanisme. Or Dehaene, ici, nous annonce triomphalement que cette flexibilité dans la verbalisation est enfin « réduite » par les neurosciences, grâce à un repérage précis des mécanismes qui interviennent dans la verbalisation humaine, et aux aires cérébrales sollicitées par elles. Avec un sourire béat, il nous annonce que nous sommes, nous aussi, des animaux-machines, des machines, et qu’enfin le dernier territoire non encore annexé par le matérialisme scientifique, l’est enfin. Quelle victoire !
    Nous ne sommes plus seulement des « machines désirantes » (comme l’écrivait Gilles Deleuze) mais aussi désormais des « machines pensantes », des ordinateurs sur pattes mais faits de chair et de sang. Nous sommes désormais « de la viande » comme le dit Graham Hancock dans la vidéo donnée plus haut.  Exit la spiritualité, fini le Bouddhisme, terminé la transcendance. Les NDE ? Des Hallucinations. Les expériences shamaniques ? Un dérèglement du cerveau. La vie de l’esprit ? Une computation, etc.

    Philippe Guillemant a tout à fait raison d’écrire que cette voie nous conduit tout droit au transhumanisme, forme d’étape ultime de l’asservissement de l’homme par le matérialisme scientifique qui règne en maître et sans partage depuis la fin du XIXe siècle.  Ce matérialisme est à la Connaissance ce que le matérialisme dialectique fut à l’action et à la politique : un totalitarisme et une source d’oppression. Il a « désenchanté » le monde, en le vidant de toute spiritualité, de tout sens, de toute liberté.

    J’ose à peine imaginer la tête d’un Stanislas Dehaene, couvert d’honneurs et de toutes les distinctions officielles qu’on peut imaginer depuis 1999, si on lui signalait que certains essaient de réenchanter le monde à partir de l’étude du phénomène OVNI. Il se gondolerait de rire, avec toute la suffisance qui est celle de la science matérialiste officielle, oublieuse du fait que ses principaux pères fondateurs, Descartes, Leibniz, Newton, étaient tous dualistes et donc spiritualistes.

    II. Les trois axes

    Désormais c’est sur le terrain des neurosciences que la recherche ufologique doit se développer, si tant est qu’il y ait eu jusqu’à présent une recherche ufologique digne de ce nom, je veux dire, une recherche doté d’un cadre théorique cohérent capable de produire des modèles d’explication précis. La physique de l’information et de la conscience n’est qu’une promesse, mais elle pourrait en fournir un, le plus puissant et, à mes yeux, le plus satisfaisant jamais proposé. Si la conscience était « naturalisée » et annexée par le matérialisme scientifique, ce cadre tomberait de lui-même, et le psycho-réductionnisme des sceptiques deviendrait un neuro-réductionnisme. L’enjeu est là, et il nous permet de distinguer désormais trois axes bien différents en ce qui concerne la question des OVNIS :

    1. L’axe exobiologique, qui rejette la réalité du phénomène OVNI et se concentre sur la recherche d’exoplanètes habitées et l’écoute de signaux intelligents (programme SETI). Cette recherche subit le fameux « paradoxe » de Fermi (silence radio sur toute la ligne) et, selon moi, ils vont pouvoir attendre longtemps un signal.

    2. L’axe « ufologie interplanétaire » (aussi appelée « tôle et boulon ») qui repose sur une méconnaissance de l’étrangeté du phénomène et sur la variété de ses manifestations (polymorphisme). Cette méconnaissance est due au phénomène lui-même qui, comme l’écrivait Carl Jung, entretient un « mythe moderne », celui du vaisseau spatial venant nous visiter d’outre-espace. Cette voie est bouchée car elle tombe « dans le panneau » du simulacre, qui sollicite et flatte notre rêve de conquête spatiale par la technologie.

    3. L’axe d’une ufologie spiritualiste, qui est celui que je défends, dans la lignée d’auteurs comme Keel ou Aimé Michel, qui avaient compris, sans être eux-mêmes compris car trop en avance, que le phénomène nous met devant les yeux nos propres fantasmes (monstres, cryptides) et nos propres rêves (merveilleuses soucoupes, êtres angéliques, etc.).  Ces auteurs avaient compris que nous poursuivons nos propres chimères mais que derrière ce théâtre d’ombres, se révèle un univers des consciences, une noosphère, l’univers réel, où toute communication et toute matérialisation utilise le canal de la conscience et le jeu sur l’information. On comprend pourquoi il devient dès lors stratégique pour les sceptiques de couper court aux recherches sur la conscience en affirmant que seule la matière existe et que la conscience n’existe pas.

    III. Conclusion

    Pour terminer je voudrais revenir sur ces deux personnalités : Hancock et Dehaene. L’un parle de notre liberté, l’autre formalise notre asservissement.  Le premier est banni des TedX, le second est couvert d’honneurs. La statue de la connaissance humaine, qui a la tête a l’envers, aura décidément bien du mal à être remise à l’endroit. Et pourtant, quand nous serons des milliers, des millions à dire et à penser comme Graham Hancock, dans la vidéo signalée en ce début de cet article,  nous commencerons à mettre fin à l'imposture du matérialisme scientifique et un palier de conscience aura été franchi.

    Scientists have just sent out a message an Alien world

    Scientists have just sent out a message towards two potentially habitable worlds, and experts hope Aliens will reply.

    Astronomers have just sent out a message to TWO potentially habitable alien worlds located 12 light years away. If those two planets are home to an alien civilization, the aliens could respond and the answer would arrive back to earth by 2042.

    Another effort in contacting aliens has been made by scientists who have just beamed a message to two planets that according to data, may be capable of sustaining life as we know it.

    The message was sent out to GJ273, a red dwarf star located around 12 light years from Earth.

    Scientists chose GJ273 as it is believed to be home to two potentially habitable worlds, and is located relatively close to Earth.

    The message is part of a project called Sónar Calling, led by the Sónar organization, who sought the help of METI International (Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and The Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC), as reported by IFLScience.

    The GJ273 system.

    In an interview with Space.com, Mr. Douglas Vakoch, president of METI, said:

    ‘It is a prototype for what I think we would most likely need to do 100 times, or 1,000 times, or 1 million times. To me, the big success of the project will come if, 25 years from now, there’s someone who remembers to look [for a response]. If we could accomplish that, that would be a radical shift of perspective.’

    The message to ET carried a scientific and mathematical tutorial, and 33 short musical excerpts created by various artists from the Sonar music festival.

    The message was beamed towards the stars in a binary code at two different radio frequencies on October 16, 17 and 18, using the European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association radio antenna in Tromsø, Norway.

    If aliens actually spot our message identify open, and decide to answer, we could receive it by 2042.

    And while this may be a revolutionary era for humans, not everyone agrees this is such a good idea.

    Professor Stephen Hawkins has heavily criticized scientists for sending out messages into space, saying that it was too risky as we don’t know whether or not aliens are friendly.

    Professor Hawking is worried that if aliens see our message, they would be able to trace it back to Earth and may want to conquer and colonize our planet.

    Speaking about the dangers of sending out our location in the universe, Professor Hawking compared the arrival of aliens to Earth to the arrival of Columbus in America:

    “If aliens visit us, the outcome could be much like when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.”

    But despite these warnings, Mr. Vakoch is convinced that sending a message to the stars, specifically the star GJ273, aka Luyten’s star, isn’t a risk for our civilization.

    “It’s really hard to imagine a scenario in which a civilization around Luyten’s star could have the capacity to come to Earth and threaten us, and yet they’re not able to pick up our leakage radiation.”

    Scientists are planning on sending out another message to aliens in April 2018, at different radio frequencies.

    Time travel ‘Technically possible’ says expert—but only if you are going back in time

    ‘…nothing is forbidding it’ in the laws of theoretical physics.” We would basically need to create a wormhole in such a way that one end of it remained almost entirely motionless, while its other end moves at speed almost equal to the speed of light.

    Time travel has only been possible in science fiction books, and conspiracy theories. Both genres are filled with stories and theories on how to travel in time.

    And despite the fact that time travel is a concept familiar to modern society, the truth is that tales of time travel can be traced back thousands of years back to ancient civilizations from Asia, to the Americas.

    Despite the fact that we have made an incredible technological advancement in the last couple of decades, we have still been unable to explain and demonstrate how time travel would be possible.

    Some scientists have argued it’s not.

    However, we might be able to travel in time after all, according to an astrophysicist who says its theoretically possible, and there are no limitations.

    The rules of theoretical physics have certain conditions that would allow for the creation of ‘wormholes’ which would eventually allow ‘humans’ to travel back to different areas.

    Astrophysicist Ethan Siegel of Lewis & Clark College wrote the Forbes blog Starts With A Bang:

    “While we still haven’t discovered the conditions we need to travel back in time and find the necessary means by which we can create a large enough system for humans to do so, ‘nothing is forbidding it’ in the laws of theoretical physics.”

    Is time travel possible?

    Image credit: Wikimedia Commons

    As explained by the expert, traveling backward in time would rely on the baffling equivalent to positive energy / positive or zero mass particles found across the cosmos, the negative mass/energy particles, which have long been theorized by experts but never yet identified.

    “If this negative mass/energy matter is real, then building both a supermassive black hole and the negative mass/energy equivalent to it, while then connecting them, should make it possible for a traversable wormhole to become reality,” Siegel explains.

    “No matter how far apart you took these to connected objects from one another, if they had enough mass/energy – of both the positive and the negative kind – this instantaneous connection would remain.”

    The theory sounds just like science fiction.

    We would need to build a wormhole in such a way that one end of it remained almost entirely motionless, while its other end moves at speed almost equal to the speed of light.

    We would need to create an elaborate system of wormholes in order to travel back in time.

    Image Credit: Shutterstock

    A piece of cake, right?

    If we were to create such a system, theoretically a person may be able to travel backward in time.

    So how would we travel back in time, if we were to build such a complex system?

    Dr. Siegel explains it in a scenario with a destination located 40 light years away.

    After one year has passed, the fast-moving end of the wormhole would have gone through 40 years, while the other end would have only experienced a year go by.

    “If 40 years ago, someone had created such a pair of entangled wormholes and sent them off on this journey, it would be possible to step into one of them today, in 2017, and wind up back in time at the mouth of the other one… back in 1978,” Siegel writes.

    “The only issue is that you yourself couldn’t also have been at that location back in 1978; you needed to be with the other end of the wormhole, or traveling through space to try and catch up with it.”

    Astronomers find the Milky Way has a ‘Twin’ Galaxy that looks just like our own

    Located 180 light years away, astronomers have spotted a supermassive spiral galaxy that seems to be the Milky Way galaxy’s twin. But, not only does this galaxy look like our own, it also has two satellite galaxies, just like the Milky Way. The discovery caught experts by surprise. They say such an arrangement is extremely rare.

    Dubbed NCG 2718, the mystery galaxy not only looks like our galaxy, but it also contains a pair of orbiting galaxies that look just like the two satellite galaxies interacting with the Milky Way.

    An extremely rare discovery

    To understand more about the Milky Way’s twin galaxy, researchers will further study it hoping to learn more about it.

    But as experts note, it’s an extremely rare discovery.

    If we take a look at the Milky Way Galaxy and the two orbiting galaxies—the large and small Magellanic Clouds—we will notice how these two still have enough gas to spawn NEW stars, unlike many other galaxies which have run out of material.

     
    The spiral Galaxy BGC 2718.

    The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are located 160,00 and 200,000 light years away from Earth.

    And this is precisely what caught experts by surprise. The arrangement of a giant spiral galaxy like the Milky Way and two orbiting satellite galaxies like the Large and Small Magellanic cloud is extremely rare.

    This is why researchers from the Yonsei University wanted to see if they could spot the pattern anywhere else in the universe.

    To their surprise, they did after going through images of around 20,000 smaller galaxies in hopes of spotting a similar cosmic layout.

    Their search revealed that the massive spiral galaxy referred to as NGC 2718, located in the constellation Hydra eerily resembles the Milky Way Galaxy, and just as our galaxy, has two orbiting galaxies called UGC 4703 and UGC 4703B.

    We show the SDSS r−band image of an area around NGC 2718 and its satellites with a field of view of Rain 90×50.

    Image Credit: arXiv

    Experts wrote in their study: ‘Based on the comparison of physical and morphological properties with that of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC), we report that the UGC 4703 pair-NGC 2718 system is probably an LMC-SMC-MW analogue.’

    This discovery follows a study from 2011 which found that galaxies with the layout resembling our own are extremely rare in the universe.

    Speaking about the study in 2011, Dr. Philip James, a physicist at Liverpool John Moores University who led the study told New Scientist: ‘They have definitely found a better analogue than any of the cases we presented.’

    A Stable Plasma Ring Has Been Created in Open Air For the First Time Ever

    by Dom Galeon

    Like Magic, Only Better

    When it was first described in the 1920s by physicist Irvin Langmuir, plasma was said to be one of the fundamental states of matter, though not one that exists freely on Earth under normal circumstances. Plasma is made up of charged particles, ions and electrons, and does occur naturally as lightning; an occurrence that can be contained in man-made objects like florescent light bulbs and plasma-cutting torches.

    Now, for the first time, engineers from the California Institute of Technology(Caltech) have been able to create a stable plasma ring without a container According to the Caltech press release, it’s “essentially capturing lightning in a bottle, but without the bottle.”

    This remarkable feat was achieved using only a stream of water and a crystal plate, made from either quartz and lithium niobate. The union of these tools induced a type of contact electrification known as the triboelectric effect.

    The researchers blasted the crystal plate with an 85-micron-diameter jet of water (narrower than a human hair) from a specially designed nozzle. The water hit the crystal plate with a pressure of 632.7 kilograms of force per centimeter (9,000 pounds per square inch), generating an impact velocity of around 305 meters per second (1,000 feet per second) — as fast as a bullet from a handgun.

    Plasma was formed as a result of the creation of an electric charge when the water hit the crystal surface. The flow of electrons from the point of contact ionizes the molecules and atoms in the gas area surrounding the water’s surface, forming a donut-shaped glowing plasma that’s dozens of microns in diameter.

    Energy Storage Potential

    The researchers were able to sustain the ring-shaped plasma as long as the water stream kept firing at the crystal. They also realized that the smoother the surface was, the clearer the plasma ring would be.

    “We were told by some colleagues this wasn’t even possible. But we can create a stable ring and maintain it for as long as we want, no vacuum or magnetic field or anything,” Francisco Pereira, a Caltech visiting fellow originally from the Marine Technology Research Institute in Italy, said in the press release. Pereira is a co-author of the study published in the journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, together with Caltech’s Morteza Gharib.

    The illustration depicts how the ring is created, in profile. At the shear region, the flow of water induces the triboelectric effect in the crystal, building an electrical charge that flows through the water to its surface.

    Gharib’s team also noticed another peculiar phenomenon: the plasma ring emitted distinct radio frequencies, as evidenced by the high levels of static the engineers’ mobile phones picked up during the experiment. “That’s never been seen before. We think it’s because of the piezo properties of the materials that we used in our experiments,” Pereira explained.

    As remarkable as the achievement is, the team’s plasma ring doesn’t yet have any immediate commercial application — though Gharib did suggest one possibility: energy storage.

    He explained that generating plasma without the help of any powerful electromagnetic fields or vacuum hints that it may be possible to use plasma structures to store energy. If that proves to be the case, it would an exciting discovery for those hard at work developing alternative energy methods. It would be yet another option for experts who have been devoting their time and resources to finding (or developing) a better battery for the energy storage needs of today — and the future.

    There’s an abundance of antimatter in our atmosphere, and dark matter decay might be to blame

    In 2008, physicists found that the number of high-energy positrons — the antiparticle or the antimatter counterpart of the electron — hitting Earth was three times greater than the Standard Model predicted. Some scientists have suggested that nearby pulsars, which expel copious amounts of positrons as they spin erratically, could account for the extra positions. One new study, however, proposes that this antimatter may be the result of decaying particles of dark matter. 

    Stranger than fiction

    Dark matter is an elusive and hypothetical substance that is supposed to comprise roughly 5/6 of all matter in the universe. Scientists have never been able to directly observe dark matter, which seems to be invisible to current means of observation, but they do have good reasons to believe dark matter exists judging from the gravitational effects it exerts on ordinary matter.

    Though not as weird as dark matter, antimatter is also another exotic physical quirk. You’ve likely heard a lot about antimatter in the science fiction universe. Star Trek’s starship Enterprise uses matter-antimatter annihilation propulsion for faster-than-light travel and in the famous book Angels and Demons, (spoiler alert) Professor Langdon tries to save Vatican City from an antimatter bomb. Unlike dark matter, though, we know for sure that antimatter is real.

    Every particle of ordinary matter has an antimatter counterpart which is equal in mass but opposite in charge. When the two kinds of particles meet, they annihilate each other while releasing energetic photons called gamma rays.

    There are many unsolved riddles surrounding antimatter. For instance, antimatter should have annihilated all ordinary matter during the Big Bang. Scientists think the reason why galaxies, stars, and eventually we exist in the first place is that there was one extra matter particle for every billion matter-antimatter pairs.

    Antimatter is closer to us than most people think. Small amounts of antimatter — at a rate ranging from less than one per square meter to more than 100 per square meter — constantly rain down on the Earth in the form of cosmic rays, energetic particles from space. Antimatter can be found closer yet.  The average banana (rich in potassium) produces a positron roughly once every 75 minutes. That’s because potassium-40 will occasionally split out a positron in the process of radioactive decay.

    When researchers working with the space-based instrument PAMELA (Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics) detected an overabundance of positrons hitting Earth’s atmosphere, things got weird. For a long time, scientists have thought that all of this extra positrons are sourced from pulsars.

    A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star which emits electromagnetic signals. These objects are also very dense, concentrating the mass of the sun in a diameter comparable to that of a large city. Pulsars radiate two steady, narrow beams of light in opposite directions from their poles. Although the light from the beam is steady, pulsars appear to flicker because they also spin really fast, and so constantly spin these polar rays around. For this reason, pulsars have earned the nickname of ‘cosmic lighthouses’.

    But now, writing in a recently published paper in the journal Science, a team of researchers claims these candidates —  a pair of pulsars less than a thousand light-years away — aren’t the likely culprit.

    When I started this work, I really believed it was pulsars,” lead author Rubén López Coto of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics told National Geographic. “But these two pulsars actually cannot provide enough positrons in order to account for this positron excess.

    A new suspect: dark matter

    Coto and colleagues refer to observations made at the High Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-Ray Observatory (HAWC), a science laboratory nestled at the base of a volcano four hours away from Mexico City. When gamma rays from annihilated positrons interact with the atmosphere, they generate showers of particles that hit the planet’s surface. Inside HAWC, scientists have placed 300 corrugated steel tanks filled with water. When the extremely high-energetic particles strike the tanks, they generate flashes of light which can be used to distinguish the signature and origin of the gamma rays that triggered the particle cascade.

    By back-tracking from the gamma-ray observations, the HAWC team found that the pulsars’ positrons were not moving fast enough to arrive on Earth. This implies that the interstellar medium between the two pulsars and Earth is likely murky, preventing the positrons from reaching Earth.

    HAWC scans about one third of the sky overhead, giving us the first wide-angle view of high-energy light from the sky,” says study co-author Jordan Goodman, a particle astrophysicist at the University of Maryland, College Park. “Before HAWC there were observatories that were highly sensitive to high-energy gamma rays, but they had relatively limited fields of view. With HAWC, we can see how gamma rays are diffusing from these pulsars across wide regions of sky.

    If the two pulsars, called Geminga and Monogem, aren’t the source of positron overabundance in Earth’s atmosphere, then “other pulsars, other types of cosmic accelerators such as microquasars and supernova remnants, or the annihilation or decay of dark matter particles” must be considered.

    Not everyone is convinced that dark matter could be the source, though. Since dark matter is literally everywhere, it follows that the signature generated by dark matter particles annihilating one another should be ubiquitous — but they’re not. It could be that the positrons are sourced from even more unconventional sources such as high-energy particles produced by black holes.

    L’armée de l’air américaine tente d’intercepter un ovni

    Un avion non identifié a été vu en train de voler parmi d’autres avions de ligne dans le ciel de l’Oregon, aux États-Unis. Inquiète, l’armée de l’air a même envoyé des avions de chasse à sa recherche, en vain.

    L’État de l’Oregon, aux États-Unis.
    (Infographie Ouest France)

    Le 25 octobre dernier, un mystérieux ovni a semé la panique dans le ciel de l’Oregon. Un avion sans aucun plan de vol, ni transpondeur d’identification, bref, sans aucun appareil permettant de l’identifier et de reconnaître sa trajectoire. Les stations de contrôle aérien ont déclenché l’alarme après l’échec des tentatives de communication avec l’appareil.

    Tout de suite après, l’Agence fédérale de l’aviation des États-Unis (FAA) a demandé l’aide du Commandement aérospatial de l’Amérique du Nord (NORAD) pour traquer l’ovni. Entre 10 000 et 12 000 mètres, là où volent habituellement les vols commerciaux, aucune trace de l’appareil. L’US Air Force (l’armée de l’air américaine) a même envoyé plusieurs chasseurs intercepteurs F-15C pour tenter de repérer le mystérieux avion, décrit simplement comme un « objet volant de couleur blanche ». Mais toujours rien.

    Soucoupe volante, avion déclassifié du gouvernement… Quel était donc cet objet ? (Photo d’illustration : Wikimédia)

    Quelques témoins et beaucoup de rumeurs

    Les rumeurs ont rapidement fusé sur internet. Certaines évoquent même un possible trafic de drogue. Les rares informations collectées sur cet appareil non identifié concernent sa vitesse : celle d’un avion de ligne classique. « Quelques équipages ont pu le suivre visuellement. Mais personne n’a pu le voir d’assez prêt pour reconnaître de quel type » d’avion il s’agissait, selon un des pilotes.

    Quelques pilotes ont pu le repérer brièvement sur leur radar, mais impossible de le suivre pour autant. « Le dernier avion à le voir devait descendre à l’aéroport de Portland et l’a perdu de vue. » C’était au-dessus de la vallée de Willamette, direction nord.

    « Les chasseurs ont volé un certain temps, mais ne l’ont pas trouvé. Et c’est tout. » Pourtant, ce vol pourrait constituer une violation de l’espace aérien, et constituer une menace pour la sécurité des États-Unis.

    sergio canavero

    The controversial Italian doctor Sergio Canavero claims he’s successfully performed a human head transplant, demonstrating that the technique is ready for prime time. At a press conference on Friday morning, the Italian neurosurgeon reported that, in an 18-hour surgery, he transplanted a head onto a corpse in China, proving that it’s possible to connect blood vessels, nerves, and the spine. Canavero, the director of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, has talked a big game for years about his plans to transplant human heads, and he says this latest achievement proves it can be done.

    In the Telegraph on Friday, Canavero said that an operation on a living human will happen very soon.

    “The first human transplant on human cadavers has been done. A full head swap between brain dead organ donors is the next stage,” he said. “And that is the final step for the formal head transplant for a medical condition which is imminent.”

    sergio canavero
    Sergio Canavero likes to think he's on the margins of the scientific community because he's ahead of his time, like Copernicus, but it's more likely that he is not taken seriously because he's a snake oil salesman.

    There’s plenty of reason not to believe Canavero, who has been making these outrageous claims for years, much to the chagrin of the global medical and scientific community. This latest announcement builds on his previous claim, in January 2016, that he’d transplanted a monkey head. Then as now, however, he never provided enough proof to convince the scientific community. When Inversepreviously reported on Canavero, reporter Ben Guarino called his goal of transplanting a living human head onto the body of a brain-dead person “not fucking likely,” and this latest announcement does little to adjust our assessment.

    The 18-hour surgery took half as long as Canavero previously estimated, which he attributes to time-saving techniques from his team of Chinese colleagues, led by Dr. Xiaoping Ren. Once again, Canavero did not provide evidence of the successful operation, though he did say a paper would be made public in the next few days.

    So far, the papers linked to his research that he has managed to publish in peer-reviewed journals include only a handful in Surgery, which were carefully editedto focus specifically on Canavero’s treatments for traumatic spinal cord injury, and a series published in the controversial journal Surgical Neurology International, in which he lays out his idea of “head anastomosis venture” — or HEAVEN, for short.

    Subsequent procedures will be performed in China, said Canavero, since the “Americans did not understand.” Canavero, whose work continually pushes the boundaries of medical ethics, seems to envision himself as a modern version of Copernicus or Galileo, someone who is so far ahead of his time that he appears heretical. But it’s more likely that he’s simply selling snake oil.

    In 2015, when Canavero first came on the scene, outspoken medical ethicist Arthur Caplan told Forbes that the doctor is out of his mind, and that his goal was unattainable and irresponsible. “It is both rotten scientifically and lousy ethically,” wrote Caplan.

    Inverse reported earlier this year that Canavero said he’d be able to thaw cryonically preserved brains in 2018. Now, just as then, Canavero has done nothing to inspire any confidence in his claims.

    Nonetheless, he’s found a willing subject in a Russian computer scientist named Valery Spiridonov, who suffers from Werdnig-Hoffman disease, a muscle condition that leaves him wheelchair-bound. Spiridonov’s condition is debilitating, and he deserves a chance at life if he can get one, but this procedure is not likely to give him more than an accelerated and gruesome death.

    If Canavero wants to prove himself to the medical community, he should make incremental advances, like connecting nerves in people with severed spinal cords. But instead, he’s setting his goal at the very peak of what could be achievable, and as such, he’s likely to fall flat.

    A Crashed UFO Tale: Inspired By A Novel?

    The following report – titled “Research Findings on the Chihuahua Disk Crash, originally from ‘JS’ to ‘Deneb Team Members'” and dated March 23, 1992 – was mailed anonymously to the late UFO researcher Elaine Douglass in July 1993. She forwarded the report to crashed UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield, who later published it. It tells a fascinating story of a crashed UFO, mysterious deaths, a huge conspiracy, and much more. But, is the story true? As we try and find the answer, let’s begin with the report itself, which I have presented, below, without interruption:

    “On 25 Aug. 74, at 2207 hrs., U.S. Air Defense radar detected an unknown approaching U.S. airspace from the Gulf of Mexico. Originally the object was tracked at 2,200 knots (2530 mph) on a bearing of 325 degrees and at an altitude of 75,000 feet, a course that would intercept U.S. territory about forty miles southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas. After approximately sixty seconds of observation, at a position 155 miles southeast of Corpus Christi, the object simultaneously decelerated to approximately 1700 knots (1955 mph), turned to a heading of 290 degrees, and began a slow descent. It entered Mexican airspace approximately forty miles south of Brownsville, Texas. Radar tracked it approximately 500 miles to a point near the town of Coyame, in the state of Chihuahua, not far from the U.S. border. There the object suddenly disappeared from the radar screens.

    “During the flight over Mexican airspace, the object leveled off at 45,000 feet, then descended to 20,000 feet. The descent was in level steps, not a smooth curve or straight line, and each level was maintained for approximately five minutes. The object was tracked by two different military radar installations. It would have been within range of Brownsville civilian radar, but it is assumed that no civilian radar detected the object due to a lack of any such reports. The point of disappearance from the radar screens was over a barren and sparsely populated area of Northern Mexico. At first it was assumed that the object had descended below the radar’s horizon and a watch was kept for any re-emergence of the object. None occurred.

    “At first it was assumed that the object might be a meteor because of the high speed and descending flight path. But meteors normally travel at higher speeds, and descend in a smooth arc, not in ‘steps.’ And meteors do not normally make a thirty-five degree change in course. Shortly after detection, an air defense alert was called. However, before any form of interception could be scrambled, the object turned to a course that would not immediately take it over U.S. territory. The alert was called off within twenty minutes after the object’s disappearance from the radar screen. Fifty-two minutes after the disappearance, civilian radio traffic indicated that a civilian aircraft had gone down in that area. But it was clear that the missing aircraft had departed El Paso International with a destination of Mexico City, and could not, therefore, have been the object tracked over the Gulf of Mexico. It was noted, however, that they both disappeared in the same area and at the same time.

    “With daylight the next day, Mexican authorities began a search for the missing plane. Approximately 1035 hrs there came a radio report that wreckage from the missing plane had been spotted from the air. Almost immediately came a report of a second plane on the ground a few miles from the first. A few minutes later an additional report stated that the second “plane” was circular shaped and apparently in one piece although damaged. A few minutes after that the Mexican military clamped a radio silence on all search efforts.

    “The radio interceptions were reported through channels to the CIA. Possibly as many as two additional government agencies also received reports, but such has not been confirmed as of this date. The CIA immediately began forming a recovery team. The speed with which this team and its equipment was assembled suggests that this was either a well-rehearsed exercise or one that had been performed prior to the event. In the meantime requests were initiated at the highest levels between the United States and Mexican governments that the U.S. recovery team be allowed onto Mexican territory to “assist.” These requests were met with professed ignorance and a flat refusal of any cooperation. By 2100 hrs, 26 Aug. 74, the recovery team had assembled and been staged at Fort Bliss. Several helicopters were flown in from some unknown source and assembled in a secured area.

    UH1 Huey

    “These helicopters were painted a neutral sand color and bore no markings. Eyewitness indicates that there were three smaller craft, very possibly UH1 Hueys from the description. There was also a larger helicopter, possibly a Sea Stallion. Personnel from this team remained with their craft and had no contact with other Fort Bliss personnel.

    “Satellite and reconnaissance aircraft overflight that day indicated that both the crashed disk and the civilian aircraft had been removed from the crash sites and loaded on flat-bed trucks. Later flights confirmed that the convoy had departed the area heading south. At that point the CIA had to make a choice, either to allow this unknown aircraft to stay in the hands of the Mexican government, or to launch the recovery team, supplemented by any required military support, to take the craft. There occurred, however, an event that took the choice out of their hands. High altitude overflights indicated that the convoy had stopped before reaching any inhabited areas or major roads. Recon showed no activity, and radio contact between the Mexican recovery team and its headquarters ceased. A low altitude, high speed overflight was ordered.

    “The photos returned by that aircraft showed all trucks and jeeps stopped, some with open doors, and two human bodies lying on the ground beside two vehicles. The decision was immediately made to launch the recovery team but the actual launching was held up for the arrival of additional equipment and two additional personnel. It was not until 1438 hrs. that the helicopters departed Fort Bliss. The four helicopters followed the border down towards Presidio then turned and entered Mexican airspace north of Candelaria. They were over the convoy site at 1653 hrs. All convoy personnel were dead, most within the trucks. Some recovery team members, dressed in bio-protection suits, reconfigured the straps holding the object on the flatbed truck, then attached them to a cargo cable from the Sea Stallion. By 1714 hrs the recovered object was on its way to U.S. territory. Before leaving the convoy site, members of the recovery team gathered together the Mexican vehicles and bodies, then destroyed all with high explosives. This included the pieces of the civilian light plane which had been involved in the mid-air collision. At 1746 hrs the Huey’s departed.

    “The Hueys caught up with the Sea Stallion as it re-entered U.S. airspace. The recovery team then proceeded to a point in the Davis Mountains, approximately twenty-five miles north east of Valentine. There they landed and waited until 0225 hrs. the next morning. At that time they resumed the flight and rendezvoused with a small convoy on a road between Van Horn and Kent. The recovered disk was transferred to a truck large enough to handle it and capable of being sealed totally. Some of the personnel from the Hueys transferred to the convoy.

    All helicopters then returned to their original bases for decontamination procedures. The convoy continued non-stop, using back roads and smaller highways, and staying away from cities. The destination of the convoy reportedly was Atlanta, Georgia. Here the hard evidence thins out. One unconfirmed report says the disk was eventually transferred to Wright-Patterson A.F. Base. Another says that the disk was either transferred after that to another unnamed base, or was taken directly to this unknown base directly from Atlanta. The best description of the disk was that it was sixteen feet, five inches in diameter, convex on both upper and lower surfaces to the same degree, possessing no visible doors or windows. The thickness was slightly less than five feet. The color was silver, much like polished steel. There was no visible lights nor any propulsion means. There were no markings.

    “There were two areas of the rim that showed damage, one showing an irregular hole approximately twelve inches in diameter with indented material around it. The other damage was described as a ‘dent’ about two feet wide. The weight of the object was estimated as approximately one thousand five hundred pounds, based on the effect of the weight on the carrying helicopter and those who transferred it to the truck. There was no indication in the documentation available as to whether anything was visible in the ‘hole.’

    “It seems likely that the damage with the hole was caused by the collision with the civilian aircraft. That collision occurred while the object was traveling approximately 1700 knots (1955 mph). Even ignoring the speed of the civilian aircraft, the impact would have been considerable at that speed. This is in agreement with the description of the civilian aircraft as being “almost totally destroyed.” What was being taken from the crash site were pieces of the civilian aircraft. The second damage may have resulted when the object impacted with the ground. The speed in that case should have been considerably less than that of the first impact.

    “No mention is made of the occupants of the civilian aircraft. It is not known if anybody or bodies were recovered. Considering the destruction of the civilian light aircraft in mid-air, bodies may well not have come down near the larger pieces.

    “Unfortunately, what caused the deaths of the Mexican recovery team is not known. Speculation ranges from a chemical released from the disk as a result of the damage, to a microbiological agent. There are no indications of death or illness by any of the [U.S.] recovery team. It would not have been illogical for the recovery team to have taken one of the bodies back with them for analysis. But there is no indication of that having happened. Perhaps they did not have adequate means of transporting what might have been a biologically contaminated body. Inquiries to the FAA reveal no documents concerning the civilian aircraft crash, probably because it did not involve a U.S. aircraft nor did it occur over U.S. airspace. It should be noted that the above facts do not tell the complete story. Nothing is known of the analysis of the craft or its contents. Nothing is known about the deaths associated with the foreign recovery team. Nor is it known if this craft was manned or not.

    “Other questions also remain, such as why would a recovered disk be taken to Atlanta? And where did the disk come from? It was first detected approximately 200 miles from U.S territory, yet U.S. air defenses extend to a much greater distance than that. If the object descended into the atmosphere, perhaps NORAD space tracking has some record of the object. Alternate possibility is that it entered the Gulf of Mexico under radar limits then “jumped” up to 75,000 feet. Considering prior behavior exhibited by disks of this size, it is probable that the entry was from orbital altitude. The facts that are known have been gathered from two eye witness accounts, documentation illegally copied, and a partially destroyed document. This was done in 1978 by a person who is now dead. Only in February of this year did the notes and documents come into the hands of our group.”

    Well, that’s quite a story. It’s also quite familiar. In the world of fiction, a very similar scenario was played out in Michael Crichton’s novel and movie, The Andromeda Strain.

    The book was published in 1969 and the movie was released in 1971. A TV mini-series followed in 2008. In the story a satellite of the U.S. military crashes to Earth in a small, isolated town in Arizona. Unknown to anyone, the satellite has brought back on its shell a deadly virus of unearthly origins. That only becomes clear when people start to die, their blood turned to powder. Suddenly, the race is on to find a cure to prevent the virus from wiping out not just the people of the little town, or even of just Arizona – but the entire world. Crichton’s story is indeed a cautionary one and which shows just how quickly the human race might come to a crashing end when faced with something so unpredictable and poorly understood as an alien virus.

    Read the novel, or watch the movie, and you’ll see undeniable parallels between both of them and the alleged 1974 events described above. In their 2007 book, Mexico’s Roswell: The Chihuahua UFO Crash</em>, authors Noe Torres and Ruben Uriarte suggest across approximately 200-pages that the event was real. Maybe it was. But, consider this: the alleged UFO is said to have vanished off the radar screens near the Mexican village of Coyame. The village just happens to be less than a 2-hour drive from the Texas town of Shafter, where portions of The Andromeda Strain were filmed…

    De mysterieuze lichtflits boven Phoenix.

     Twitter 
    De mysterieuze lichtflits boven Phoenix.
     Het regent weer complottheorieën nadat de hemel boven de Amerikaanse stad Phoenix gisteravond werd verlicht door een felle lichtflits. “Een ufo!” klonk het bij veel believers, maar wellicht gaat het gewoon om een stuk ruimtepuin dat opbrandde in de dampkring.

    Er vloog net een heel helder iets door de lucht boven Phoenix om 8.30 uur deze avond”, postte het officiële Twitter-account van de stad Phoenix gisteravond. “Kijk naar wat ons Phoenix City Cam gefilmd heeft! Kijk naar de rechterkant van het scherm.” Op de beelden is te zien hoe een lichtbol aan het firmament plots een felle lichtflits veroorzaakt en vervolgens uitdooft.

    Getuigen dachten eerst dat het om vuurwerk ging. “Maar het licht was te helder en het ontplofte niet”, zo vertel een ooggetuige.

    “Dat is een ufo!”

    Waar een mysterieus verschijnsel is, zijn ufotheorieën nooit veraf. Op Twitter lieten believers dan ook snel van zich horen: “Dat is een ufo! Arizona staat bekend om buitenaardse activiteiten”, klonk het.  Ook rockster en ex-frontman van Oasis Liam Gallagher mengde zich in de debatten: “Ik kijk ernaar uit om me in de verwarring te begeven”, tweette hij.

    Meer dan waarschijnlijk gaat het gewoon om een kleine meteoriet die is opgebrand in de dampkring. Geen reden tot paniek dus.

    Ancient skull from China may rewrite the origins of our species

    Dali skull
    What can the Dali skull tell us?
    Sheela Athreya

    The origins of our species might need a rethink. An analysis of an ancient skull from China suggests it is eerily similar to the earliest known fossils of our species –found in Morocco, some 10,000 kilometres to the west. The skull hints that modern humans aren’t solely descended from African ancestors, as is generally thought.

    Most anthropologists believe, based on fossil evidence, that our species arose in Africa around 200,000 years ago. What’s more, genetic studies of modern humans indicate that we are all descended from a single population that left Africa within the last 120,000 years and spread around the world. This African group is the source of all modern human genes, barring a few gained by interbreeding with other species like Neanderthals.

    However, the Dali skull may not fit this story. Discovered in China’s Shaanxi

    Oude schedel uit China haalt huidige theorieën over evolutie onderuit. Liggen onze wortels in Azië?

    Een 260.000 jaar oude schedel uit China kan zomaar eens de menselijke geschiedenis herschrijven. Uit een nieuwe analyse blijkt dat de schedel opvallend veel gelijkenissen vertoont met fossielen die in Marokko zijn ontdekt.

    Dit suggereert dat moderne mensen niet enkel en alleen afstammen van Afrikanen, zoals wetenschappers voorheen altijd dachten.

    De meeste experts geloven dat onze soort zo’n 200.000 jaar geleden is ontstaan in Afrika, maar de 260.000 jaar oude schedel die in Dali in de provincie Shaanxi is gevonden kan ervoor zorgen dat ze deze theorie moeten herzien.

    Nieuwe analyse

    De Dali-schedel, die in 1978 is ontdekt, is opvallend intact. Onderzoekers dachten in eerste instantie dat de schedel toebehoorde aan de Homo erectus.

    Maar in 1981 merkte Xinzhi Wu van de Chinese Academie van Wetenschappen al op dat de Dali-schedel erg leek op die van onze soort.

    Uit een nieuwe analyse van de Chinese Academie van Wetenschappen en de Texas A&M University blijkt nu dat de schedel zeer veel overeenkomsten heeft met de schedel van de moderne mens.

    Verrassing

    “Dit kwam als een verrassing omdat we verwachtten dat Dali alleen gelijkenissen vertoonde met andere Chinese soorten,” zei professor Sheela Athreya.

    “Maar de schedel leek vooral op fossielen uit Noord-Afrika en de Levant. “Bij de evolutie van onze soort is een groot deel van Eurazië betrokken geweest,” zei Athreya.

    Het nieuwe onderzoek is verschenen in het American Journal of Physical Anthropology.
