Major earthquakes predicted for 2018 due to changes in the Earth’s rotation
Major earthquakes predicted for 2018 due to changes in the Earth’s rotation
According to scientists, the number of severe Earthquakes is likely to rise exponentially in 2018, due to a slowing down of Earth’s rotation. Minimal variations in Earth’s rotation speed could trigger intense seismic activity in 2018, especially in densely populated tropical regions, warn experts.
Although such variations in the rotation of our planet are small, changing the length of the day by one millisecond, these changes could set off a release of large amounts of underground energy.
The connection between Earth’s rotation and seismic activity is displayed in a study by Roger Bilham of the University of Colorado at Boulder and Rebecca Bendick of the University of Montana at Missoula, presented in October during the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America.
“The relationship between Earth’s rotation and earthquake activity is strong and suggests there is going to be an increase in numbers of violent earthquakes next year,” Bilham told the Observer in an interview.
In the study presented by Bilham and, the two argue that by looking at earthquakes of magnitude 7 and greater that had occurred since 1900. “Major earthquakes have been well recorded for more than a century, and that gives us a good record to study,” explains Bilham.
The two researchers discovered five periods in which there were a significantly greater number of large earthquakes compared to other times.
“During these periods, there were between 25 and 30 intense earthquakes a year,” adds Bilham.
“The rest of the time, the average number was about 15 large earthquakes per year.”

The researchers sought to find correlations between these periods of intense seismic activity and other factors and discovered that when the Earth’s rotation decreased slightly, it was followed by periods of increase in the number of intense earthquakes.
“The rotation of the Earth changes slightly – in a millisecond per day sometimes – and that can be measured very accurately by atomic clocks.”
Bilham and Bendick discovered that there were periods of about five years when the rotation of the Earth was reduced by that amount several times over the last century and a half.
Fundamentally, these time lapses were followed by periods in which the number of intense earthquakes increased.
“It’s simple,” says Bilham. “The Earth is offering us a five-year warning about future earthquakes.”
This link is particularly important because the rotation of the Earth began one of its periodic decreases more than four years ago.
“The inference is clear,” concludes the researcher.
“Next year we should see a significant increase in the number of severe earthquakes. We have had it easy this year. So far, we have only had about six severe earthquakes. We could easily have 20 per year starting in 2018.”
It is not clear exactly why the decreases in the length of the day should be related to earthquakes, although scientists suspect that small changes in the behavior of the Earth’s core could be causing both effects.
Regrettably, it is difficult to predict where these additional earthquakes will occur, although Bilham said they discovered that most of the intense earthquakes responding to changes in day length seemed to occur near the equator.
Around one billion people live in the tropical regions of the Earth.
New study published in ‘the Journal Astrobiology’ says life on Earth may have come from ‘elsewhere’
New study published in ‘the Journal Astrobiology’ says life on Earth may have come from ‘elsewhere’
The building blocks of life on Earth may be launching into space, perhaps seeding other worlds, according to a new study published in the journal Astrobiology and available in pre-print on arXiv.
Scientists from the University of Edinburgh (United Kingdom) have published a study in the journal Astrobiology in which they have proposed a hypothesis according to which life on planet Earth could have come from other planets in the cosmos.
According to calculations, the great flow of space dust that falls on the planet, in an amount of 105 kilograms per day and at speeds of 10 to 70 kilometers per second, is enough to boost, in the upper layers of the atmosphere, small living beings towards space.
This implies that life could be transferred from Earth to other places and that the same thing could happen, or have happened, in the opposite direction.
It is observed that hypervelocity space dust, which is continuously bombarding the Earth, creates immense momentum flows in the atmosphere. Some of this fast space dust inevitably will interact with the atmospheric system, transferring energy and moving particles around, with various possible consequences
“The hypervelocity space dust forms an immense and sustained flow in the atmosphere,” wrote the authors of the study, led by Arjun Berera. “For particles that form the thermosphere or above or reach there from the ground, if they collide with this space dust, they can be displaced, altered in form or carried off by incoming space dust.”
Berera believes that our planet’s organic material could have traveled as much as 30,000 light-years over the past few billion years, which is enough time to reach most parts of the galaxy.
Tardigrades may survive the journey through space.
According to Berera, this can have many consequences for the weather and the wind.
But, what is more interesting, in the opinion of the researcher at the University of Edinburgh, “is the possibility that this type of collision can give the particles of the atmosphere the escape velocity needed to escape from Earth’s gravity.”
In this way, the flow of small particles from space, whose masses range from one gram to one trillionth of a gram, would be like a space shuttle for living beings.
This means that resistant and extremely small organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or tardigrades, could cross the space between solar systems or even beyond, thanks to the thrust of space dust, and perhaps survive their journey.
What if life on Earth was ‘seeded’ from elsewhere?

It also means that the impact of asteroids and comets would not be the only mechanism capable of transferring life between planets, as Svante August Arrhenius theory of panspermia indicates.
Experts note how “Hypervelocity space dust is a unique entity in planetary systems like our Solar System, which is able to go past and enter the atmosphere of planets, collect samples of those planets and deposit samples of other planets. The entire system of fast space dust in a planetary system thus contains the atoms, molecules and possibly even microbial life, from all the planets and provides a means to mix them up amongst the different planets.”
“The proposal that space dust collisions could propel organisms at enormous distances between planets opens some interesting perspectives on how life and the atmospheres of planets originated,” Berera said in a statement.
“The currents of space dust present in planetary systems could be a common factor in the proliferation of life.”
The next decades of space exploration through powerful telescopes will perhaps clarify numerous questions and whether or not, hypervelocity space dust may have acted as a transport system for microbial life spreading across space.
According to researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), massive black holes are hiding “like monsters under your bed” in galaxies close to the Milky Way.
Recently, scientists have discovered evidence of supermassive black holes hidden behind clouds of gas and dust at the center of two of our galactic neighbors. Now, scientists feel that the majority of big galaxies have black holes that might be hidden in the clouds of gas and dust.
Sukanya Chakrabarti, a professor of physics at RIT and lead author of the study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, explained that in the outer gas disks of big spiral galaxies, conditions are favorable for the presence of black hole mergers.
“The metal content in the outer disks of spiral galaxies is also quite low and should be rife with black holes in this large area,” Chakrabarti said.
Researchers from the universities of Durham and Southampton used the NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) orbiting observatory to spot these hidden holes.
Astronomer Ady Annuar, from the University of Durham’s Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy, said, “These black holes are relatively close to the Milky Way, but they have remained hidden from us until now. They’re like monsters hiding under your bed. Their recent discoveries certainly call out the question of how many other supermassive black holes we are still missing, even in our nearby universe.”
Daniel Stern, project scientist for NuSTAR, said, “It is exciting to use the power of NuSTAR to get important, unique information on these beasts, even in our cosmic backyard where they can be studied in detail.”
BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND Hurricane Ophelia (its core appears here as a white dot at the lower right) dragged in dust from the Sahara and smoke from wildfires in Portugal as the storm spun northeast toward Ireland in October 2017.
NASA GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER
How do you observe the invisible currents of the atmosphere? By studying the swirling, billowing loads of sand, sea salt and smoke that winds carry. A new simulation created by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., reveals just how far around the globe such aerosol particles can fly on the wind.
The complex new simulation , powered by supercomputers, uses advanced physics and a state-of-the-art climate algorithm known as FV3 to represent in high resolution the physical interactions of aerosols with storms or other weather patterns on a global scale (SN Online: 9/21/17). Using data collected from NASA’s Earth-observing satellites, the simulation tracked how air currents swept aerosols around the planet from August 1, 2017, through November 1, 2017.
In the animation, sea salt (in blue) snagged by winds sweeping across the ocean’s surface becomes entrained in hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria, revealing their deadly paths. Wisps of smoke (in gray) from fires in the U.S. Pacific Northwest drift toward the eastern United States, while Saharan dust (in brown) billows westward across the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. And the visualization shows how Hurricane Ophelia formed off the coast of Africa, pulling in both Saharan dust and smoke from Portugal’s wildfires and transporting the particles to Ireland and the United Kingdom.

It swept nearest the sun in September, then sped away again, back to interstellar space. Astronomers named it `Oumuamua. It’s dark red, very elongated and unlike anything in our solar system.
A few weeks ago, we reported on a small object visiting from beyond our solar system. Now astronomers have scrutinized data from this object, which has been given the name `Oumuamua, and which must have traveled through space for millions of years before its chance encounter with our star system. The conclusion is that it’s a dark, reddish, highly-elongated rocky or high-metal-content object. And, indeed, it is the first known asteroid from interstellar space. These new results were published today (November 20, 2017) in the peer-reviewed journal Nature.
Some astronomers thought the object was a comet when the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawai`i first picked it up on October 19, as a faint point of light moving across the sky. Others thought it looked like a typical fast-moving small asteroid. As they tracked its motion through space, astronomers began to be able to calculate its orbit, showing beyond any doubt that this body did not originate from inside our solar system, like all other asteroids or comets ever observed.
Instead, this object was doubtless from interstellar space.
Observations revealed no signs of cometary activity after it passed closest to the sun in September 2017. It has now been reclassified as an interstellar asteroid – the first ever observed – and named 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua).
A statement from the Institute for Astronomy (IfA) at the University of Hawaii described the intricacies of naming this object:
Originally denoted A/2017 U1 (with the A for asteroid), the body is now the first to receive an I (for interstellar) designation from the International Astronomical Union, which created the new category after the discovery. In addition, it has been officially given the name `Oumuamua. The name, which was chosen in consultation with Hawaiian language experts Ka`iu Kimura and Larry Kimura, reflects the way this object is like a scout or messenger sent from the distant past to reach out to us (`ou means “reach out for”, and mua, with the second mua placing emphasis, means “first, in advance of”).
The object’s full official name is 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua), and can also be correctly referred to as 1I, 1I/2017 U1, and 1I/`Oumuamua.
View larger. | This animation shows the path of `Oumuamua, as it passed through our inner solar system in September and October 2017.
But all of that – name, designations, characterizations of the object – came later. First, astronomers had to observe it and try to understand just what this speedy visitor to our solar system might be. And they had to do it quickly. By the time earthly telescopes first noticed it, `Oumuamua had already passed its closest point to the sun, and was heading back into interstellar space. An international team lead by astronomer Karen Meech of IfA observed the object. They gathered data from telescopes around the world, including the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) and the Keck Telescope on Maunakea, the Gemini South telescope, and the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile. These observations led to detailed measurements of the visitor’s properties. Meech commented:
This thing is very strange.
What we found was a rapidly rotating object, at least the size of a football field, that changed in brightness quite dramatically. This change in brightness hints that `Oumuamua could be more than 10 times longer than it is wide – something which has never been seen in our own solar system.
`Oumuamua does have some similarities to small objects in the outer solar system, especially the distant worlds of the Kuiper Belt – a region of rocky, frigid worlds far beyond Neptune. While study of `Oumuamua’s colors shows that this body shares characteristics with both Kuiper Belt objects and organic-rich comets and trojan asteroids, its hyperbolic orbit says it comes from far beyond.
Meech also said the object has:
… a dark red color, similar to objects in the outer solar system, and [we] confirmed that it is completely inert, without the faintest hint of dust around it.
The astronomers said these properties suggest that `Oumuamua is dense, possibly rocky or with high metal content, lacks significant amounts of water or ice, and that its surface is now dark and reddened due to the effects of irradiation from cosmic rays over millions of years.
It is estimated to be at least 400 meters long.
Many comment on stories like this one that they don’t want to see artist’s concepts; they want to see the real thing. Here you go. This deep combined image shows the interstellar asteroid `Oumuamua at the center of the picture. It is surrounded by the trails of faint stars that are smeared as the telescopes tracked the moving asteroid. This image was created by combining multiple images from ESO’s Very Large Telescope as well as the Gemini South Telescope. The object is marked with a blue circle and appears to be a point source, with no surrounding dust.
At first – by looking backwards along the orbit that had been calculated for `Oumuamua – astronomers might have said the object had come from the approximate direction of the bright star Vega, in the northern constellation Lyra the Harp.
Things aren’t that simple, though, in our Milky Way galaxy, where everything is always moving. Although it’s travelilng about 60,000 miles/hour (95,000 km/hour), `Oumuamua has taken so long to journey to our solar system that Vega was not near that position when the asteroid was there (about 300,000 years ago). According to astronomers:
`Oumuamua may well have been wandering through the Milky Way, unattached to any star system, for hundreds of millions of years before its chance encounter with the solar system.
In fact, astronomers were expecting to find an object like this one. They estimate that an interstellar asteroid similar to `Oumuamua passes through the inner solar system about once per year. We haven’t seen them before because they are so faint and hard to spot. But recent survey telescopes, such as Pan-STARRS, are powerful enough to discover them.
That’s why team member Olivier Hainaut of European Southern Observatory commented:
We are continuing to observe this unique object, and we hope to more accurately pin down where it came from and where it is going next on its tour of the galaxy. And now that we have found the first interstellar rock, we are getting ready for the next ones!
This artist’s impression shows the 1st interstellar asteroid, which has been named `Oumuamua. Data analysis reveals that is is a dark red highly-elongated metallic or rocky object, about 400 meters long, unlike anything normally found in our solar system.
Bottom line: Astronomers report on the first known interstellar asteroid, which swept nearest our sun in September, then sped away again. Astronomers have named this object `Oumuamua and say it is dark red and very elongated.
There were three helicopters, and the object was to the left side as if the helicopters were guiding or trying to ground this object.
Witness report
The report did not say what time the alleged incident happened.
However, the witness sketched a drawing of the UFO, and its "escort", which showed one helicopter in front, one behind, and one to the side.
The drawing resembled an alleged top-secret secret spy craft, which some conspiracy theorists claim the US Air Force (USAF) has developed, known as a TR-3B.
TR-3B is alleged by conspiracy theorists to be a secret "black project" spy craft of the US Government that can be flown into space.
The allegations are that these crafts are created at top-secret military bases like Area 51 in Nevada, by reverse engineering alien technology.
Others claim they are actual UFOs flown by aliens visiting Earth.
MUFON is the world's largest organisation dedicated to UFO and alien research, and maintains a database of sightings.
Yesterday it was sent the footage with the witness report.
There have been hundreds of alleged TR-3B and triangle UFO sightings across the US, and it is not the first time one is said to have been seen accompanied by military helicopters.
There is, however, no conclusive proof the TR-3B exists.
WAS HET WEL EEN METEOOR DIE ITALIAANSE ASTRONAUT FILMDE ( VIDEO )
WAS HET WEL EEN METEOOR DIE ITALIAANSE ASTRONAUT FILMDE ( VIDEO )
Een astronaut in het ruimtestation ISS is erin geslaagd om een meteoriet die richting aarde gaat vast te leggen op beeld.
Was het echter wel een meteoor wat de Italiaanse astronaut Paolo Nespoli zag of was het iets heel anders?
Iets dat zelden of nooit gebeurd, is dat nu wel. Een Italiaanse astronaut in het ISS ruimtevaartstation is erin geslaagd een meteoor die onderweg is naar de aarde vast te leggen op beeld.
Het voorval gebeurde op 5 november jongstleden en de autoriteiten waren heel snel met het vrijgeven van de zogenaamde timelapse opname waarop te zien is hoe een meteoor door de lucht schiet richting aarde.
Hier volgen de beelden:
Was het echter wel een meteoor of misschien iets heel anders.
Tyler van Secureteam heeft de tijd genomen om de beelden uitgebreid te bestuderen en hij komt tot de conclusie dat er hier wel eens sprake kan zijn van heel iets anders.
Wat hij vreemd vindt, is dat ruimteorganisatie ESA zo snel is met het vrijgeven van beelden in de trant van: als wij als eerste dit verhaal brengen en vertellen wat het is, zal niemand verdere vragen stellen.
De enige andere keer dat men erin slaagde een opname te maken van een meteoor vanuit het ISS was in 2011 en toen zag het beeld er zo uit:
Wanneer je beiden naast elkaar zet dan ziet de recente opname er heel anders uit en lijkt het in de verste verte niet op die uit 2011.
Wanneer je het recente object verder uitvergroot, ziet het er zo uit.
Er wordt gezegd dat deze meteoor met een snelheid gevlogen zou hebben van ongeveer 150.000 kilometer per uur, maar volgens Tyler klopt die berekening niet omdat er sprake is van een timelapse opname (aaneengesloten reeks van beelden waar telkens een kleine pauze tussen zit) en zou het object in werkelijkheid veel langzamer hebben gevlogen.
Heeft hij gelijk? Of is het toch gewoon een meteoor. Kijk en oordeel zelf.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETNASA-wetenschapper David Morrison heeft zo stilaan zijn buik vol van de complottheorieën over Nibiru of Planeet X. Voor de derde keer in een paar weken tijd zou die het einde van de wereld inluiden, door een apocalyptische botsing met de Aarde. Maar: de bewuste planeet bestáát gewoon niet, herhaalt Morrison voor de zoveelste keer.
De vraag is ditmaal wél naar Morrison geluisterd zal worden, nu hij nog maar eens in een podcast heeft uitgeschreeuwd dat Planeet X een verzinsel is. “U vraagt mij een logische verklaring voor een compleet onlogisch idee”, zei Morrison als reactie op de derde aankondiging van het einde van de wereld in evenveel maanden. “Er is zo geen planeet, die is er ook nooit geweest, en waarschijnlijk zal die er ook nooit zijn, maar toch blijft die telkens opnieuw opduiken”, verklaarde hij stellig.
De frustratie bij Morrison is hoorbaar. Nibiru zou ons volgens de ‘believers’ al in 2003 moeten verwoest hebben. Daarna in 2012, en vervolgens op 23 september, dan op 15 oktober en... gisteren. Terwijl we dit schrijven, is de aarde er nog.
Al in 2008 schreef Morrison: “Ik ging ervan uit dat Nibiru het soort internetgerucht was dat snel zou passeren”. Mis dus. Ook toen kreeg Morrison dagelijks bezorgde vragen van mensen - vaak kinderen - die in paniek waren. Vandaag is dat nog altijd zo. “Ik kreeg onlangs nog een telefoontje”, zei Morrison in de podcast. “De wereld zou zaterdag vergaan. De man vroeg mij: ‘Zou ik gaan werken of beter bij mijn gezin blijven?’”
Nog één keertje dan. Mocht Planeet X wél bestaan, dan zouden astronomen ze al lang gespot hebben. Een planeet als Nibiru zou de positie van alle planeten verstoren en zelfs de “maan uit de baan van de aarde ejecteren”. Bovendien kwam er tot nu toe nooit iets in huis van de voorspellingen over de komst van Nibiru.
WETENSCHAPOns zonnestelsel heeft voor het eerst bezoek van buiten gekregen. Een asteroïde die afkomstig is uit de eindeloze ruimte tussen de sterren, is in de afgelopen weken opgedoken in onze omgeving.
Het rotsblok heeft de naam ‘Oumuamua’ gekregen. Dat is Hawaïaans voor ‘boodschapper van ver die als eerste aankomt’, omdat een telescoop op Hawaï hem als eerste zag.
De onderzoekers denken dat de asteroïde al honderden miljoenen jaren door de Melkweg zwerft, niet gebonden aan een ster. Waarschijnlijk heeft hij er 300.000 jaar over gedaan om de oversteek te maken van de ster Vega naar ons zonnestelsel. “Tientallen jaren hebben we gedacht dat zulke objecten er zijn en nu hebben we voor het eerst direct bewijs van hun bestaan”, aldus de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA.
Doordat de asteroïde in de buurt is, hebben Europese en Amerikaanse wetenschappers hem goed kunnen bestuderen. De uitkomsten daarvan staan maandag in het wetenschapsblad Nature. ‘Oumuamua’ is roodkleurig en heeft de vorm van een sigaar. Hij is ongeveer veertig meter breed en vierhonderd meter lang. Dat is opvallend, omdat de asteroïdes en kometen in ons zonnestelsel veel minder uitgerekt zijn.
APVia dit observatorium op Hawaii werd 'Oumuamua' ontdekt.
Tientallen jaren hebben we gedacht dat zulke objecten er zijn en nu hebben we voor het eerst direct bewijs van hun bestaan
Het rotsblok draait in iets meer dan zeven uur om zijn as. Er hangt geen stofwolk omheen, wat betekent dat hij waarschijnlijk uit rotsen en metalen bestaat en geen water of ijs heeft.
Oumuamua bevindt zich nu op ongeveer 200 miljoen kilometer van de aarde, tussen de planeten Mars en Jupiter. Hij vliegt met een snelheid van 138.000 kilometer per uur van ons weg en dat maakt het steeds moeilijker om hem te bekijken. Rond de jaarwisseling wordt hij waarschijnlijk te vaag om nog te zien. In mei 2018 vliegt hij langs Jupiter, in januari 2019 passeert hij Saturnus. Daarna zal hij ons zonnestelsel langzaam achter zich laten, op weg naar het sterrenbeeld Pegasus.
Wetenschappers sluiten niet uit dat er meer asteroïdes van buiten ons zonnestelsel langsvliegen, maar tot nu toe waren ze te klein en te vaag om te zien.
Panspermia – the theory that life came to Earth on a comet or asteroid from another world – comes from the Greek words ‘pan’ (all) and ‘sperma’ (seed). That makes sense because the hypothesis suggests that the life form riding bareback on a space rock was microscopic, like the tardigrades which we already know can survive in space and that some panspermians propose may have indeed traveled here from abroad. Now a new theory proposes that not only were the microorganisms tiny, but so were their means of transit — space dust particles. Could it be true that all we are is space dust in the cosmic wind?
In a paper published in a recent edition of Astrobiology, Professor Arjun Berera of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh looks at “hypervelocity space dust” – the sneeze-worthy massive cloud of particles that are constantly blowing into our atmosphere and quite possibly blowing right back out again with some passengers from Earth. The escape velocity is achieved by a sort of billiard ball effect of incoming particles slamming around the atmospheric table and knocking others in all directions – down, up and corner pocket.
This effect is nothing like the cloud you kick up when blowing the dust off of your tables before your parents visit. Berera and his researchers determined that space dust travels at 70 km a second (156,585.5mph). Assuming that tardigrades or other microorganisms could be carried by conventional winds or the cosmic billiard ball effect to a height of 70 km (43 miles) and that they can hang on to dust particles with their tiny feet or whatever appendages they have, they could be knocked out of the Earth ballpark and catch a ride on a cosmic wind shuttle to another planet, solar system or even a galaxy … assuming they can survive the trip. Based on how well bacteria survives on the outside of the International Space Station, don’t put it past them.
If you buy Professor Berera’s idea of hypervelocity space dust bearing gifts of life to Earth billions of years ago, then it’s safe to assume that it’s also happening right now. That big inhalation before blowing out your birthday candles could have started a colony of aliens deep in your lungs. You may not feel older but you may soon feel something worse than any flu congestion you’ve ever coughed up.
“The proposition that space dust collisions could propel organisms over enormous distances between planets raises some exciting prospects of how life and the atmospheres of planets originated. The streaming of fast space dust is found throughout planetary systems and could be a common factor in proliferating life.”
While Professor Berera buys into this dustpan-spermia theory, there are both scientific and religious doubters. There’s only one way to find out. Get our your microscope, kick up some dust and eliminate everything that doesn’t look familiar.

Strange cigar-shaped ‘Asteroid’ is first interstellar visitor to our solar system!
Strange cigar-shaped ‘Asteroid’ is first interstellar visitor to our solar system!
Last month, the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawai'i picked up a very strange object moving across the sky. It was originally believed that the object was a comet but astronomers quickly realized it was something entirely different.
Above image shows an impression of cigar-shaped asteroid Oumuamua - European Southern Observatory / M. Kornmesser and a cigar-shaped UFO on the backside of the Moon.
Observations with ESO's Very Large Telescope and others have shown that the object is a rocky cigar-shaped asteroid and it has been confirmed as the first ever interstellar object to enter our solar system.
The object has been dubbed ‘Oumuamua’ by the International Astronomical Union. The name means “a messenger from a far arriving first” in the language of the Central Pacific Island.
According to a European Southern Observatory (ESO) Oumuamua is like nothing seen before. It is red, made of dense rock or metal, and is shaped roughly like a giant cigar measuring up to 400 meters long and around 40 meters wide.
Oumuamua varies dramatically in brightness by a factor of ten as it spins on its axis every 7.3 hours. This unusually large variation in brightness means that the object with its complex, convolute shape, is highly elongated and may well have been wandering through the Milky Way, unattached to any star system, for hundreds of millions of years before its chance encounter with the Solar System, reports RT.
It seems to come from the direction of the star Vega. However, Vega itself moves and was not in the area when Oumuamua was last there about 300,000 years ago.
As quickly confirmed by the astronomers the object is an asteroid which became the first ever interstellar object to enter our solar system; but given the very strange shape of the object it reminds me another huge cigar-shaped ‘UFO’ object on the backside of the Moon photographed by the crew of Apollo 15 which is very similar to the cigar-shaped ‘Messenger From A Far Arriving First’!
This animation (annotated) shows the path of the interstellar asteroid 1I/2017 (`Oumuamua) through the Solar System. Observations with ESO's Very Large Telescope and others have shown that this unique object is dark, reddish in color and highly elongated.
A strange flashing UFO appears in security cameras in Phoenix, Arizona, reigniting claims the city is a hotspot for visiting beings from another world.
Many people believe it could be an alien spacecraft as it also reportedly observed from New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, and California.
Experts said it was likely an object from outer space burnt up in the atmosphere or a meteor.
Phoenix is one of the most famous US cities when it comes to alien and UFO sighting after the notorious Phoenix Lights incident that became a phenomenon from March 13, 1997. The infamous incident involved massive sightings of huge triangular UFOs drifting above Arizona and the city of Phoenix.
Thousands of people saw five lights in a formation for over three hours from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm.
The military blamed the infamous event to flares set off during an exercise at the time, but UFO enthusiasts were not convinced of the official explanation.
The new footage was recorded with a Nest security camera.
The object in question appears above the city as a small orb of light.
It then blooms into a large flash and lights up clouds in the dark sky.
One witness Debora Lee Soltez said on Twitter that they noticed the sky light up not far from Flagstaff. She added that they were driving north, so they did not see the meteor, just the sky lightens up then the flash bright enough to see the trees along the road.
Another Twitter user said that they first thought someone shot a firework, but it got very bright and never popped.

New scientific theory about life on Earth involves alien bugs hitching a ride on space dust
New scientific theory about life on Earth involves alien bugs hitching a ride on space dust
Previously, scientists have considered the possibility of asteroids and comets bringing life to our planet.
Space dust may have transported alien bugs to Earth – or terrestrial microbes to other planets, research suggests.
The theory comes from British scientists who have studied powerful flows of interplanetary dust that can travel through space at up to 43.75 miles per second.
They calculated that small bio-particles floating high in the atmosphere at an altitude of 93 miles or more could be knocked free of the Earth’s gravity by incoming space dust.
Eventually the tiny organisms could reach other planets in the solar system.
Some bacteria, plants and even hardy micro-animals called tardigrades are known to be capable of surviving in space.

The same process could occur in reverse, bringing extraterrestrial bugs to Earth and possibly helping to seed life on the planet, the scientists believe.
Study leader Professor Arjun Berera, from the University of Edinburgh’s School of Physics and Astronomy, said: “The proposition that space dust collisions could propel organisms over enormous distances between planets raises some exciting prospects of how life and the atmospheres of planets originated.
“The streaming of fast space dust is found throughout planetary systems and could be a common factor in proliferating life.”
Previously scientists have considered the possibility of impacting asteroids and comets importing life, or the raw ingredients of life, to Earth.
The new research, published in the journal Astrobiology, was part-funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
Life forms that evolved on Earth might already be living on alien planets, carried there by clouds of dust traveling through space.
The dust could act as transportation for the smallest organisms because it is moving quickly and “continuously bombarding the Earth,” a new paper in the journalAstrobiology claims. “Some of this fast space dust inevitably will interact with the atmospheric system, transferring energy and moving particles around.” Although that can include non-living atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, there are also microbes up there that could go along for the ride. When space dust particles collide with these elements in Earth’s atmosphere, the crashes could give them “the necessary escape velocity and upward trajectory to escape Earth’s gravity.”
Molecules that are necessary to sustain life and make planets habitable may be carried along as well.
According to the paper, space dust could have brought Earth life to other planets and life from other planets to Earth.
Space dust is constantly colliding with Earth's atmosphere at high speeds. That could throw molecules and microorganisms into space, which means there could be Earth life that has been carried through space to other planets — or life from other planets that was transported to Earth.

It’s not the only space mechanism that has been explored as having potential to transport life across the universe. Previous research looked into whether comets, asteroids and meteoroids crashing down to young Earth brought life, water, atmospheric gases and other crucial pieces with them in a sort of cosmic delivery service. Scientists have also asserted it would be possible for space rocks to collide with planets in such a way that sends material careening into outer space, carrying microorganisms along for the ride before possibly landing on another world.
“The proposition that space dust collisions could propel organisms over enormous distances between planets raises some exciting prospects of how life and the atmospheres of planets originated,” paper author Arjun Berera said in a statement from the University of Edinburgh. “The streaming of fast space dust is found throughout planetary systems and could be a common factor in proliferating life.”
Bacteria and other tiny organisms have shown resilience in the face of harsh conditions, such as frigid temperatures, the vacuum of space and radiation exposure.
“Should some microbial particles manage the perilous journey upward and out of the Earth’s gravity, the question remains how well they will survive in the harsh environment of space,” the paper says.
The life forms that are theoretically floating around out there and touching down on other worlds could hold clues about how life on our planet began: “If biological constituents have been escaping the Earth continuously, even in tiny amounts, over its lifespan, then it would suggest floating out in the solar system there is information about the evolutionary history of microbial life over the time of the Earth’s existence.”
The Milky Way is full of dust that collides with planets and their atmospheres. That might mean it could carry small life forms between worlds.

Mysterious ISS Footage: Are Space Agencies Hiding Proof of Alien Life? (VIDEO)
When one of the crew at the International Space Station (ISS) captured footage of a mysterious object entering the Earth’s atmosphere, conspiracy theorists quickly concluded that it was footage of a UFO, despite claims by the European Space Agency’s that the object is just a meteor.
Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli captured the clip, which shows a ball of light approaching the Earth's atmosphere, November 5.
Tyler Glockner, who runs the alien hunting YouTube Channel SecureTeam10, is convinced that the strange sighting is further proof the government is covering up the existence of aliens.
In a video uploaded to the SecureTeam10 channel, Glockner says, "I don't think it's a meteorite at all."
"You're seeing the Earth spinning at a high rate of speed and we see this flash of light coming from space. It does look to be moving at 85,000 miles per hour. But when you account how fast the Earth would have actually been moving, had this not been sped up, it would have been moving much, much slower."
In a statement released by the European Space Agency on November 16, researchers at the agency describe the object as a fireball.
"A fireball is basically a very bright meteoroid — a small bit of natural ‘space rock' — entering Earth's atmosphere and burning brighter than the background stars. This particular meteoroid was moving much faster than typical, with an estimated speed of about 85,000 miles per hour," the statement states.
SecureTeam10 is also suspicious about how fast the European Space Agency released a statement regarding the sighting.
"They've never jumped on a story so fast," Glockner said.
"Why are they claiming it to be a meteor if they aren't sure? Why aren't they going to the suspected location where this is meant to be falling, and recover it? Why does it look nothing like a meteor? Why are they only giving us the sped-up time lapse version and pretending it's just normal speed?" Glockner asks.
In his video, the YouTuber also compares the photo to one of a meteor taken during the 2011 Perseid meteor shower.
"If you compare this to what they are calling a meteor in this new footage, at no time does this so-called meteor look like anything that was captured back in 2011 — it just doesn't," Glocker explained.
In December 1969, the United States government called for the end of Project Blue Book, its 22-year investigation into unidentified airborne phenomena. Overnight, the authorities’ official position changed from one of indulgent public curiosity to absolute public disinterest. “The Air Force was the head agency during Project Blue Book, where they went out into the field and talked to witnesses, essentially trying to figure out what was going on,” explains John Greenewald, founder of The Black Vault, an Internet-based resource that has compiled more than 1.4 million declassified government documents. “After 1969, it was the United States Air Force that said, ‘no government agency including our own has any interest in this phenomenon.’” But thanks to the dogged effort of Greenewald and other UFO researchers wielding Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, anyone with an Internet connection and an open mind can deduce the government isn’t quite as apathetic toward UFOs as it claims.
One curious item indicative of the cat-and-mouse game Greenewald feels the government plays with UFO researchers was an entry in an Air Force training manual discovered through a FOIA request. “I discovered, about eight to 10 years ago now, an Air Force regulation, Air Force Instruction 10-206,” Greenewald says. “It deals with what to do if pilots see something strange in the sky and how they have to report it. The rule was a short list of things to look for—for example if they saw a missile streak across the sky, that was outlined as something they would need to report. On this very short list was the entry, ‘Unidentified Flying Objects.’ Obviously we’re talking about 30 or more years after their investigation was stopped.”
Lonnie Zamora, an officer with the police department of Socorro, New Mexico, poses next to a depression in the soil he claimed was left by a UFO landing in 1964. The cause of the physical evidence was ruled as unknown by Project Blue Book.

The regulation seems odd enough on its own, but the rest of Greenewald’s story seems to give credence to his and other investigators’ sneaking suspicion that something is amiss with how the government reports its relationship to UFOs. “I’ve worked Air Force Instruction 10-206 into a couple of documentaries I did for History Channel and National Geographic Channel, but there wasn’t a lot of attention paid to it until a few years ago—the Huffington Post did an article about myself and The Black Vault,” he says. “I told the reporter the Air Force doesn’t have an interest in this topic anymore, and yet here’s a very recent manual that references UFOs.”
When the reporter followed up on the story and contacted the Pentagon for a response, officials reacted in a manner UFO researchers have grown accustomed to expect from the government—they stonewalled him. But the Pentagon’s silence didn’t necessarily indicate inaction. Greenewald later received a call from the reporter, who had shocking news. “He went online to download the instruction directly from the Air Force, and it didn’t have mention of UFOs anymore. Chapter Five, in which Instruction 10-206 could be found, had been revised. UFOs were completely omitted. Now the section had to do with hurricanes.”
Incredulous, Greenewald wanted to check for himself. “I thought when the reporter said all this via the telephone that maybe he was mistaken, that he clicked on the wrong instruction because these manuals can get very confusing. I thought, ‘Once I get home I’ll take a look and steer him in the right direction, never thinking that the United States Air Force would completely rewrite this instruction. I was very surprised to see that they changed it 48 to 72 hours after the Huffington Post called the Pentagon, which is all documented.”
In light of the fact that FOIA requests can turn up all kinds of buried treasure for our government’s assassination tactics, questionable wartime practices and everything in between, Greenewald’s original question is still a nuisance even to the skeptical. Why, if the government has no official interest in explaining unexplained phenomena, are they so adamantly hiding the last half-century of documentation to that effect? The answer may be an earth-shattering revelation that changes humanity’s understanding of its place in the universe. Or it may be as mundane as shedding some new light on the bureaucratic systems used to file reports. Either way, Greenewald and his cohorts will keep looking.

Aliens might have been carried to Earth on space dust, according to new research.
Bugs might have flown across the universe and onto our own planet, scientists have said. And bugs from our own planet might have made the same journey, flying off of Earth and onto other planets elsewhere in the galaxy.
The theory could even help explain how life began here, suggesting that it was carried from elsewhere in space then flourished in Earth.
That's according to British scientists who have studied powerful flows of interplanetary dust that can travel through space at up to 70 km (43.75 mph) per second.
They calculated that small bio-particles floating high in the atmosphere at an altitude of 93 miles (150 km) or more could be knocked free of the Earth's gravity by incoming space dust.
Eventually the tiny organisms could reach other planets in the solar system.
Some bacteria, plants and even hardy micro-animals called tardigrades are known to be capable of surviving in space.
The same process could occur in reverse, bringing extraterrestrial bugs to Earth and possibly helping to seed life on the planet, the scientists believe.
