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.

    Humans Would Be Cool with Finding Aliens

    Stephanie Pappas Live Science Contributor

    Alien spaceships

    A new study finds that people may greet the discovery of microbial E.T. in a positive way.

    If extraterrestrial life is ever discovered, humanity would probably be pretty cool with it.

     

    A new study, one of very few of its kind, finds that people typically respond quite positively to the notion of life on other planets. The study investigated the possibility of finding microbial extraterrestrials, not intelligent E.T.s, so people's responses might be a little different if they were told an armada of aliens were headed toward Earth, cautioned study author Michael Varnum, a psychologist at Arizona State University. Nevertheless, he noted, large portions of people believe that intelligent aliens do exist and that they've visited Earth; so even a more dramatic announcement might not ruffle feathers.

    "What this suggests is, there's no reason to be afraid" of sharing news of astrobiology with the public, Varnum told Live Science. "We won't collapse. We're not going to have chaos in the streets." [13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Alien Life]

    Are we alone?

    How people would respond to finding they're not alone in the universe is a perennial question, but one that has been the subject of far more speculation than study, Varnum said. He could find only one study that asked people how they thought they'd react to the announcement of extraterrestrial life, and it was a decade old.

     Varnum wanted to tackle the question a bit more realistically. So he turned to the real-world news, analyzing articles dating back to 1967 that looked at discoveries that could potentially have hinted at alien life (including — full disclosure — articles by Live Science's sister site Space.com on a star with irregular brightness cycles that might have signaled extraterrestrial activity, but the irregular cycles more likely result from orbiting dust).

    Most of the language in these pieces skewed positive, software analyses revealed, and writers tended to emphasize the potential rewards of discovery over potential risks. Armed with that knowledge, Varnum turned to real people. He first recruited 501 subjects on Amazon's Mechanical Turk crowd-sourcing website, paying them a small fee to write responses to two questions. One was how they would feel if scientists announced the discovery of alien microbial life. The other was how they thought the public at large would respond to such an announcement.

    "It's really much more likely that we're going to encounter strange germs rather than E.T.," Varnum said. And no one has previously studied people's attitudes toward the discovery of alien microbes.

     In a second study, Varnum recruited Mechanical Turk participants again. This time, they read a real-life article about the possibility of alien microbes. In 1996, scientists announced that they'd found what might be fossilized microbes in a Martian meteorite, known as Allan Hills 84001. Today, the researchers behind that discovery still think they may have found telltale signs of ancient alien life, though people in the field as a whole are far from convinced. At any rate, contemporary news articles about the discovery were very positive, Varnum said. He lifted one from The New York Times, stripped it of information about the date, and presented it to 256 participants as a new article. As a control group, he asked 249 other participants to read a real article about the creation of synthetic life in the laboratory.

    Earthlings love company

    In both studies, people reacted to the idea of alien life with more positivity than negativity, Varnum found. They tended to focus on the rewards over the risks. Individuals in the first study felt they, personally, would respond to the announcement of microbial E.T.s with a little more positivity than the public at large, but they still thought humanity as a whole would be enthused.

    In the case of the realistic announcement about Martian microbes, people still remained overwhelmingly positive. They were pretty gung-ho about synthetic life, too, Varnum said, but Mars life got people even more jazzed. That finding suggests the enthusiasm isn't just about science or discovery or even just new life, he said, but specifically about alien life. [7 Theories on the Origins of Life]

    "I think there might be something sort of comforting about knowing that life wasn't an accident that happened once here," he said. "Maybe it makes us feel a little less fragile or a little less lonely in the expanse of space."

     A paper describing the findings is available as a preprint and is under review at a peer-reviewed journal. Varnum would like to replicate his findings in other countries to see if culture or other factors influence people's attitudes toward aliens. He'd also like to study people's responses to intelligent life, but it would be harder to fool participants into believing, even briefly, that humanity had made contact with an alien civilization.

    "I've got to think the subject pool might think, 'Why am I hearing about this in a psychology experiment?'" he said.

    Reactions to the discovery of intelligent life-forms outside of planet Earth might be a bit more complex, Varnum said, but it's hard to tell. Already, he noted, polls show that more than half of Americans, British and Germans believe extraterrestrial intelligence exists. Thirty percent believe that intelligent aliens have contacted Earth, but that the government has covered it up.

    "That raises another question," Varnum said. "If I did the kind of study where I did a real-worldish, fake announcement, maybe some good chunk of participants would go, 'Well, I already knew.

    NASA's Plan to Defend Earth and Mars From an Alien Invasion

    Matthew Loffhagen

    NASA's Plan to Defend Earth and Mars From an Alien Invasion
    Image credit: Pixabay
    In HG Wells' classic sci-fi horror novel War of the Worlds, alien invaders who conquer the Earth are ultimately killed by an unexpected weapon: our planet's native bacteria.

    As strange as it may seem for this to be a genuine threat, one of the biggest challenges involved in exploring the cosmos is making sure that humanity doesn't accidentally infect foreign worlds with our own gross germs, or alternatively, unwittingly bring space bugs back to our planet. 

    One mistake here could leave Mars covered in dangerous diseases, or cause a plague that would wipe out life on our own home world.
    Enter Catharine Conley, who, since 2006, has been the stalwart defender of the Earth. She doesn't get to fire a laser gun or pilot a cool spaceship, but her job involves keeping the Earth safe from aliens that could kill us all.


    The problem with microscopic life forms centers around disease resistance—or, more importantly, a lack thereof. 

    We might not notice that our hands are covered in tiny germs because we've developed an immunity to them, but take them elsewhere in the universe, and we could potentially unleash a deadly illness on the landscape that could wipe out any native life forms that could exist there.

    This is essentially the point of the ending of War of the Worlds—Wells' story is a metaphor for colonialism, with alien invaders neglecting to realize the effects that local micro-organisms can have on an unprepared immune system. 

    This happens all the time in real life—if you've ever been on a journey far from home, you might have been advised to avoid drinking the local water, just in case an otherwise harmless local bug messes with your unprepared immune system.

    "We know from experience of moving organisms around on Earth that invasive species can have unexpected and unintended consequences," Conley said. 

    "Assuring Earth's safety from extraterrestrial biohazards is the highest priority for planetary protection."

    Recently, Russian astronauts discovered unexplained bacteria on the outside of the International Space Station. 

    Bringing these to Earth without thorough tests could have seen the planet suffer through an alien plague that nobody would be immune to, which was why they needed to be properly tested before being brought home.

    Perhaps more important than the threat of alien life, is the dangers that are posed by Earth-borne bacteria which mutate in outer space. 

    As it turns out, many diseases grow more potent when able to multiply in a zero-gravity environment, which is why Conley and her team are regularly involved in tests that explore just how quickly bacteria grow in space, and what effects it may have on their ability to overrun the human immune system.

    Conley gained a PhD in plant biology from Cornell University in 1994, before going on to work for NASA, designing experiments into organic matter that could be undertaken in orbit. 

    In 2006, after working on several key projects in this field, she was officially given the title of Planetary Protection Officer, and was assigned the responsibility of organizing all decontamination processes to make sure that astronauts coming home don't bring icky space germs with them.

    Along this time, there have been plenty of interesting experiments and discoveries in this field. At one point, it was found that the Curiosity Mars Rover had managed to sneak some bacteria from Earth aboard, while the recent death of the Cassini space probe was orchestrated so that the probe couldn't accidentally infect one of Saturn's moons with Earth bugs.

    While Conley has been hard at work defending the Earth for decades now, her job is likely to get a lot busier in the near future as commercial space flight increases the number of rockets that are going up and coming down.

    "There are an increasing number of organisations becoming involved in space exploration, so the potential for inadvertent contamination is increasing," said Conley.

    At present, it seems that Conley and her team are up to the challenge of keeping the Earth safe from deadly mutants and aliens. 

    She may not ever get the recognition she deserves, but in spite of this, Catharine Conley toils every day to prevent invasion, and maintain microscopic peace between our planet and our neighbors.

    A Close Encounter In 1937 Fontana

    NEW YORK SKIES 12-11-2017

    Fontana, Calif., was founded in 1913 by Azariel Blanchard Miller. For the next 30 years it remained little more than a small rural village.

    It was the dog days of August 1937, when the Great Depression still ruled America. Harry, his two younger brothers and his parents lived on the outskirts of Fontana in an old tractor barn. It wasn’t fancy, but it was shelter and the family was all together.

    The three brothers were out walking one evening in an area where there were no streetlights and no automobile traffic. It was just after sunset and getting darker fast.

    Suddenly the three boys were startled by the appearance of a very bright light that silently hovered above them.

    Harry remembered, “We just stood and looked up at this brilliant glowing cylinder. It didn’t move, and we didn’t either. Puzzled, we asked each other what it was. Of course we were kids; we weren’t able to even make a guess.”

    The boys quickly became afraid, and they ran into an orange grove to hide. “But the light just moved with us,” Harry said. “It was brighter than daylight under the orange tree that we were under.”

    Frightened out of their wits, the brothers tried to figure out what to do next. “Then just as unexpectedly as the light had started, the light just abruptly went out.”

    The boys stayed under the trees until they got up enough nerve to run for home. “This was a long time before anyone ever said they had seen an UFO or little green men.” Harry explained.

    But sometimes a UFO incident isn’t just a sighting. On occasion these events are of an initiating nature that can go on for years.

    “For a long time after that event, I had what I thought were dreams,” Harry said. “I would awake in a room with subdued light, with four or five of the little people with big heads and dark eyes. These little people were about as tall as I was and would be moving all around and touching me. I was never too afraid of them. I can’t ever recall being hurt in any way.”

    Occasionally in Harry’s dreams, a door would open with a bright light. In the doorway there would be a tall person.

    “I could never tell what he looked like. All I could see was his shadow, he would say something to the little people and they would leave. And soon after I would awake in my bed.”

    Harry has struggled for years with these memories, whether or not these were real events or just fantasy dreams.

    “I’m not too sure if they were real or not anymore. People have a hard time believing what you tell them you have seen. But the older I get, the more I think there is more to my story then I originally thought.”

    The rural village became a major boom town in 1942 when the nation went to war. Henry J. Kaiser built the first West Coast integrated steel mill in Fontana in 1942 to supply plate for his seven shipyards.

    The city of Fontana now has a population in excess of 200,000. It’s the second most populous city in San Bernardino County and the 19th largest in the state.

    Alleged UFO photos over China Lake analyzed

    In October 2017 a curious post appeared on the facebook page of ‘Art Bell’s Midnight In The Desert Feat Heather Wade’. It showed an apparent daylight scent of a ‘UFO’ in the desert with a helicopter hovering overhead. The text to accompany the photo read: “I’ve been holding on to these pictures for 10 years and it’s time I showed someone. I took pictures of this thing in July 2007 on out radar test range in the Mojave Desert. I’ve always been nervous to show anyone but here you go.”

    My curiosity peeked I dropped the post of this message whom I shall call Keith Bradshaw (real name on file) a note in a private message asking for more details. Checking the next day the post had been removed but Keith did reply to my private message. Keith made it clear from the beginning that he was worried about releasing these photos as they had been taken illegally and he regretted posting one of them on facebook. It did however tell me that there were taken at China Lake in California at about 11.30 am.

    Over the next several days Keith and I exchanged numerous private messages on facebook and he eventually told be the back story behind the taking of the photos in question. He also sent me five photographs in total. Here is what Keith had to say:

    KEITH’S STORY

    I grew up in a town called Ridgecrest which is a U.S. Naval base in the Mojave Desert. As a kid it was very easy to get onto the base and everyone in town had passes that would allow you through the gates to get to school, swimming pools, the movie theatre etc. Everyone knew someone who worked on the base so you would get to know where the different parts of the base were. They had the bombing range and the radar range. I grew up with a kid who after High School joined the Navy. After he retired he moved back to town and got a job working in the civil service on the base monitoring radar. He said it was the world’s most boring job but he did tell me about interesting things that went on out there. Things like them having jeeps and tanks scattered all over the desert and then flipping a switch and they all would disappear. Turns out that’s what fiber optic camouflage does. People would talk about unbelievable things that turned out to be true. Planes would come from all over the world to use the radar test range out there. I have pictures of that too. Planes with markings from other countries. While I was in between jobs in 2007 I went back to town to visit some of my old friends.

    While I was in town I stopped by this friend’s house and after a few drinks he started telling me how that week he had been monitoring a flying saucer. When I asked him how he knew that’s what it was he told me- first of all, in all the years he had been doing that job he never had two generals and three other men with top security clearance recording and watching everything he did. He explained how it was very simple. There were two signals on the radar screen. One would appear very low in altitude, go up to a certain higher altitude and then click off. There would be a countdown for a certain amount of time- five; four, three, two, one and then it would click back on. When this happened the first time the people in the room got very excited. The object on his screen would lower in altitude until it was no longer on the radar, move to a different position and repeat the same thing over and over at different altitudes. All the while the other signal on the radar screen would remain constant.

    Curious as to what it was he was monitoring he asked around. People that he knew who physically worked on the radar range and would see what was out there told him that believe it or not it was a flying saucer. They described it as being shiny like a mirror and smooth like glass all over inside and out. It had no doors or windows only a hole cut in the top (I got the idea that the hole had jagged edges like it was cut with something) they described the inside as only having three small seats surrounded by a bird nest of fiber optic cable. The seats were molded out of the floor rather than attached to the floor. This thing was one piece with no seams anywhere.

    Keep in mind that description is just a rumour as to what it was like. He didn’t actually see it himself he was just told that’s what it was. Being in between jobs and having nothing to do the next day I made my way out there. ( I’m not telling you how I was able to get there but I will say I walked a very long distance) as I got closer I could hear a helicopter so I peeked up over a hill and down in the small valley below sure enough I could see this silver disc out there. There were a few tan-colored trailers and other military vehicles on the North End of the valley. This thing would wobble along close to the ground very unstable. I don’t believe anyone could have been riding on the inside but got the idea that helicopter was remotely controlling it.

    It was very wobbly as it moved along close to the ground and then it would freeze in position, go up to a certain height and sit there for a few minutes perfectly still. It made no noise that I could hear over the helicopter. It would go back down and wobble to the next position. It looked like whoever was controlling it was having fun with it sometimes because they would do little tricks with it.

    Like one edge would be pointing towards the sky and then it would do a U-shaped flip to wear the other edge was pointing towards the sky then back down and wobble along the valley floor close to the ground to its next position.

    At first I was too afraid to take any pictures but then it got really close to me so I started snapping some photos figuring that if I was going to be caught I might as well have some pictures. I also took a short video but then to save space on my camera I started deleting the blurry pictures. I spent maybe 10 minutes total watching this thing. I then turned around and got out of there as quickly as I could. I took my shirt off thinking the color of my skin would blend in with my surroundings better than the color of my white shirt. About halfway back I got scared and hid the camera in the desert.

    That night I went back over to my friend’s house and when I told him what I had done he laughed in disbelief until I told him the path this thing followed from the North-West side of the valley to the South-East. When he realized I was telling the truth he got very angry and threw a plastic cup at me. He basically chased me out of the house telling me never to go get those pictures. I let them sit there for two days and then went back and got the camera. When I looked at the pictures there was no video and I realized that what I thought was a blurry picture was actually a blurry video that I deleted. I still kick myself for that one every time I think about it. A few years later I went back to town and ran into him at Walmart and he pretended he didn’t even know me. This is someone that I have known my whole life. We went to school together and played on the same Little League baseball teams.

    I’ve been holding on to these pictures ever since. That is all there is. Sorry it’s not more exciting. I really don’t know how you would write an article about it. “

    KEITH’S ALLEGED UFO PHOTOGRAPHS

    Well, an interesting story and interesting set of alleged UFO photographs. Of course you cannot just take the photographers word for it that the photographs are what he says they are. With this in mind I sought out a number of people who could undertake analysis of these photographs. The first was Jason Gleaves in the UK and this is his full and unedited report with comes complete with five computer photographs highlighting the points in his report.

    ANALYSIS IMAGE REPORT BY JASON GLEAVES

    Metallic Disk Shaped Object Captured Near the U.S. Naval Air Weapons Station, China Lake, California, U.S.

    I was asked by Philip Mantle if I could conduct my own analysis on five interesting UFO images captured of a Disk Shaped Object (metallic in appearance) which appeared to be stationary appropriately 50-60 feet above a desert environment (location unknown at this point). Also in another image a helicopter (HH-1K Iroquois, helicopter (“Huey”) is also captured in flight above the right side of the object and appears to be passing slightly behind (speed unknown).

    First appearance the images looked authentic but with technology of today and software (photoshop etc) you really can’t rely on image authenticity, no matter how good it looks.

    More detailed enlarged and enhanced images of the metallic object appear to show sunlight and consistent reflections on the body of the object, plus in one of the images a dark oval shadow is clearly seen directly below the object again consistent where a shadow would be (without actually seeing where the Sun location/position is in relation to the object, it’s always difficult to give a more accurate Sun-object-Shadow location). I also produced a twin layer image overlay of two separate images (taken from approximately the same position/location) to see if the object had moved from its original position, I aligned the two images, to the best of my ability with similar reference points (background mountain range and cloud formation, horizon). Upon viewing the final enhancement of the overlay the Disk Shaped Object is clearly seen in two different positions, both at slightly different altitudes and one further away in relation to the other regarding their relevant positions within the two separate photographs.

    A few days passed and a more detailed report and witness statement emerged giving the sighting location as (U.S. Marine Corps Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, California, U.S.) this is also consistent as to the type of military helicopters reported and documented being operational in that region, and similar to the Helicopter captured in the images.

    Analysis by Jason Gleaves @Ufonly (Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Ufonly YouTube) I am Ex-Royal Air Force, BAE Airbus division, I contribute on numerous UFO pages and have carried out Photo/image/video footage analysis on UFO’s and anomalies for many ufologists within our community worldwide.

    ANALYSIS BY DR BRUCE MACCABEE

    Another and perhaps more well known expert in the analysis of alleged UFO photographs is Dr Bruce Maccabee in the USA. Bruce is well known for his work on analyzing alleged UFO photographs. Dr Maccabee received a B.S. in physics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Mass., and then at American University, Washington, DC, (M.S. and Ph.D. in physics). In 1972 he began his career at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory, White Oak, Silver Spring, Maryland; which later became the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division. Dr. Maccabee retired from government service in 2008. He has worked on optical data processing, generation of underwater sound with lasers and various aspects of the Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI) and Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) using high power lasers.

    ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION

    My immediate impression was that the orientations of the main rotor and tail rotor blades were very much the same. What would the chance of getting the same orientation in two pictures probably many seconds to minutes apart? See the pictures A and B below. Using the position change of distant land features I estimate that the camera pointing direction has rotated to the right by about 9 degrees (based on an assumed angular picture width of 35 degrees). The UFO has also moved to the right about 7 degrees and the helicopter moved about 11 degrees to the right. The helicopter image in B is nearly the same as in B, but the pictures are not identical.

    PICTURE A

    PICTURE B

    The helicopter is about 10% farther from the camera in B and there is a helicopter body rotation to the left of some (10 or so?) degrees.

    The lack of blur of the main rotor blades plus the nearly identical rotor blade orientation suggests a hoax with a model helicopter. The nearly identical position of the tail rotor blades also suggests a hoax but the blur of the tail rotor blades argues against a hoax unless one used a model with a rotating tail rotor. Note that the blur width of the edges of the tail rotor increases in going from the center (axle) outward to the end. This is exactly what one would expect of a rotating blade and is exactly what appears to be missing from the images of the main rotor blades.

    PICTURE C

    A “fast shutter” (very short exposure time) can “stop” a moving object so that it moves very little during the exposure time. Therefore, if one could establish that the exposure time was short enough to effectively “stop” the motion of the main rotor while not being fast enough to “stop” a much faster tail rotor, one could explain this situation. How fast would the shutter have to be? That depends upon the rotor rate and radius (distance of the end from the axle). Consider, for example, a rotor rate of 360 revolutions per minute or 6/sec, The outer end of the rotor travels at 6 x 2 pi radians per second = 37.7 radians/sec. Assume a radius of 15 ft. The outer end of a blade is traveling at 37.7 x 15 = 565 ft/second = 6,786 inches/sec. Assume the blade is 1 ft wide at the outer end. To avoid noticeable motion blur the blade should move less than 1/10 its width or less than about 1 inch during the shutter time. So, what is this shutter time needed to register the image of the blade without noticeable blur? The answer is (1/6786 sec/inch) x 1 inch = 0.000147 seconds, much faster than any typical video camera shutter.

    This analysis raises questions: (1) the near identically of the image of the helicopter in two separated-in-time frames suggests a “set up” (hoax)’; (2) the lack of blade image smear suggests very fast shutter or hoax; (3) the tail rotor blur suggests real event because difficult to hoax the blur that increases with distance from the center; There appears to be a faint slightly dark shadow under the UFO in Picture A which is not in Picture B (consistent with real) and there is only the barest hint of a shadow under the UFO in Picture B that is not there in Picture A (consistent with real.

    Need to know camera type, settings etc. This might be a real event, but have to explain helicopter imagery

    After spending some time analyzing the available testimonial and pictoral evidence and considering the actions or activities of the object in question I conclude that there is not enough evidence to prove that the object was not simply an unusually shaped drone operating under control of the person(s) flying the helicopter.

    ANALYSIS FROM TOBIAS LINDGREN

    FIRST ANALYSIS

    Tobias Lindgren

    Now I have analyzed the pictures.

    First I want to say that I have doubts if the object is really physical. It can be computer generated. As well as lack of basic data such as picture metadata, observation site, time, date, cardinal direction, and duration. If the unidentified object is physical, the following applies:

    Roughly calculated distances in the picture. The references there are is the helicopter and the shrubs in the foreground. The helicopter is a Bell UH-1Y Venom, which is 17.8 meters long. The shrubs in the desert are about one meter high.

    With these measures I can find out that the helicopter is about 20 times farther away from the photographer than the shrub. If the object is at the same distance as the helicopter, it has a diameter of about 6 meters and 12 meters if it is twice as far as the helicopter, but to me it is not likely. Accordingly I estimate the object was very close to the camera at the time the picture was taken.

    If the object is at the same distance as the first bush, it is about 20 cm, but my assumption is that it is closer than that, less than half the distance from the camera to the shrubs, and then it will be less than 10 cm in diameter. The object’s reflected color on the underside shows only sand and ground colours, which is only to be seen between the bushes and the camera, no green from the vegetation. Same effect in the first picture without the helicopter. The dark spot on the ground, which my brain interprets as a shadow from the object, and the object itself is merely an unfortunate coincidence and has no relation, but creates the illusion of a long distance. The real shadows are aimed at the sun, and hard to spot.

    However, the most crucial fact for the object to be placed close to the camera is the big sunflower / highlight that is on the object. The size of such is proportional to the distance.

    Conclusion: High hoax factor. No obvious connection with the China Lake Naval Base, except for a similar environment. ”Photoshop” or physical object less than 10 cm. Such a small object could be a toy.

    SECOND ANALYSIS

    Hi.

    The reason for the late answer is that we have just had our annual field investigation course in UFO-Sweden. It takes all of our time in October. Strange and interesting story, I have to say. Here we also see the risk of not having all the information.

    It may be easy to believe that the previous analysis was poor and insufficient, but with the information available, the result will of course will come afterwards. What makes a person get so scared that you hide the pictures for ten years? No, I do not think the military is so stupid that they fly in an open space with a “flying saucer” if they want to keep it secret. It may be the total opposite instead which is to draw attention. But it may be to be all very conspiratory. Visually, I still think it does not feel right. The object (UFO) is blurry in a way that the rest of the pictures are not, and that tells me that something is not what it seems. It can still be, as I said before, that the object is so close to the camera that it is out of focus. Had the object been out of focus because of the distance, it should get something like a bit transparent due to atmospheric depth haze in the atmosphere.

    I still have no idea what the object could be. Perhaps it might be a radio-controlled “toy” that the military testing, just as written in the witnesses story. The military obviously knows what it is because it’s no coincidence that it looks like it does, if it is not computer-generated images. I draw parallels with a Swedish hoax that went viral on YouTube a few years ago: http://www.ufo.se/index.php/news/home/1563-avsloejad-ufofilmen-som-skulle-lura-vaerlden

    If this had happened in Sweden, UFO Sweden would have taken us to the location at “Ridgecrest” and knocked on all doors to look for more witnesses. In recent projects where we did this, it was found that 10 percent of all people had a story they did not mention before.

    Regards

    Tobias Lindgren

    UFO-Sweden

    Tobias Lindgren, UFO Sweden and AFU Board Member, born 1972, he lives in Norrköping, Sweden. His interest in UFO study began in the late 1970’s, but only became really active as an ufologist 10 years later. Had been the head of the UFO-Sweden Report Center from 2005 to 2015. In this position, he coordinated Swedish UFO investigations, distributing incoming cases among field investigators. He is now responsible for the UFO-Sweden website. He writes regularly for the “UFO-Aktuellt” Newspaper. He is UFO-Sweden’s image analyst. Tobias is also a skilled computer artist and combines his interests in illustration and computer engineering to illustrate the most recent cases very effectively. He has also studied computer science. mathematics and physics at Linköping University and more recently, visualization and geographic information systems. He is now employed as a GIS engineer at the Swedish Aviation Authority in Norrköping and works with flight information, airplanes and visualization.

    As if that wasn’t enough yet more analysis was conducted in Brazil with the help of my colleague Thiago Luiz Ticchetti. The analysis was brief and to the point…

    ANALYSIS FROM BRAZIL

    We have already analyzed the photos. According to our specialists, unfortunately, they are fakes:

    The reflection of the sun in the object does not correspond with the position of the sun observed in the shade of the vegetation.

    – The shadow of the object itself does not match the position of the sun

    – The helicopter is real.

    – All the images are without EXIF

    Ricardo Varela: Researcher at the National Institute of Space Research (INPE), electronic engineer at the Federal University of Brasília, master and doctor in applied computing

    Inajar Kurowski: Veterinary doctor, university professor, police officer and criminal expert of the Institute of Criminalistics of Paraná, with specialization in vehicular identification and forensic ballistics. He is also a postgraduate in science methodology and a master’s degree in environmental management. Administrator of specific courses in the area, he became a specialist in examining photos and films of flying saucers

    SO WHAT ARE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS?

    In an attempt to get to the bottom on these alleged UFO photographs the have been analysed by five different people from around the world. Jason Gleaves from the UK is of the opinion that they are the genuine article. Dr Bruce Maccabee from the USA is not sure whether they are fake or real and the same goes for Tobias Lingren in Sweden. And last but not least Ricardo Varela and Inajar Kurowski in Brazil left us in no doubt that they believe the photographs in question to be fake.

    It is therefore my hope and intention that by releasing these photographs here that we may learn more about them. Perhaps other specialists will add their comments to those above or maybe someone will come forward who can offer testimony to either support the authenticity of the photographs or the opposite, show us that they are indeed fakes.

    As yet the photographer does not want his identity revealing which is something I have honoured here but I do have his name on file. Perhaps the photographer will offer more information which will allow us to determine one way or the other the authenticity of the photographs. Until then I think it is only fair to say that the jury is still out. Are these photographs fake or genuine? We shall see.

    Artificial Intelligence: When You Can't Believe Your Eyes

    Artificial Intelligence: When You Can't Believe Your Eyes

    Artificial intelligence is coming on in leaps and bounds and while many embrace the technology, others are wary of it. For those who are wary NVidia may cause some concern as they have come up with a way for AI to copy reality. An image translation artificial intelligence could have people guessing whether anything that they see online is real or fake.

    NVidia Can Change Day To Night On Video With Artificial Intelligence

    In October NVidia showed off their ability in technology associated with artificial intelligence that could generate images of fake people that were realistic. Now they have gone on to produce fake videos through artificial intelligence.

    The AI does a great job in changing a video from day to night, winter turned to summer and even changing a video of a house cat into a cheetah. What is even more surprising is the fact that the artificial intelligence system can do it all with far less training than any other form of AI system.

    Just as with the face generation AI software from NVidia, this new AI uses the algorithm with the name of the generative adversarial network, also known as GAN. Two neural networks work alongside each other and one makes the video or image and the other criticizes the work. The GAN needs a great deal of labeled data so that it can learn how to generate data of its own. Generally, the system would have to look at pairs of images that showed what the street looked like when it had snowed and when it was clear, and then it would generate an image of its own, with or without snow.

    AI Can Guess How A Street Would Look Covered With Snow Or Rain

    The new artificial intelligent image translation technology from NVidia is able to use its imagination to show was a street would look like if it was covered in snow without having to see the street that way according to researchers Jan Kautz and Ming-Yu Liu.

    Lui went on to say that the research of the team is shared with the customers and product teams of NVidia. He revealed that he could not make any comment on just how fast or to what extent the artificial intelligence would be adopted, but he did say that there are many potentially interesting applications for it. One example was said to be that it is very rare that they get rain in California and they wanted to be sure that self-driving cars would operate in the rain properly. He said that they could use the artificial intelligence to turn driving in sunny weather to driving in rain to train the self-driving cars.

    While there are many applications that are practical, the technology could also have whimsical ones too. The researchers said to imagine being able to see how your home might look in the future during the middle of winter or snow, or what a wedding location could look like during the fall when the ground is blanketed with leaves.

    In The Future People Will Not Be Able To Distinguish Between Fake And Real

    Of course, those who do not embrace AI technology have said that AI such as this could be used nefariously. If it was adopted widely a person’s ability to be able to trust any image or video just based on what the eyes tell them could be diminished. People would not know whether they were looking at reality or AI videos.

    There is the possibility that video evidence might be inadmissible in court, while fake news could overtake the internet as real video news would become inseparable from that generated by artificial intelligence. For the time being, AI is limited to a few applications and until it does make its way into the hands of consumers there is really no way of telling just how it will make an impact on society.

    Research Suggests Earth’s Mysterious “Hum” May Be Caused By Ocean Waves

    Additionally, their mysterious nature has led to a number of imaginative theories about their origin, which range from ideas about clandestine underground bases to secret drilling operations carried out by world governments. There are, however, more likely explanations for the varieties of strange sounds that are reported, which have more to do with little-understood natural phenomena.

    With the onset of the winter months in North America (and hence, the arrival of “Mystery Boom” season), there has been some discussion of Earth’s mysterious humming as of late. For instance, a recent item in Central Oregon’s The Bulletin reported on the phenomenon, under the headline, “Scientists unlocking mystery of the hum of Earth.”

    According to the Bulletin article: 

    “The Earth is ringing like a bell all the time,” said Spahr Webb, a seismologist at Columbia University.

    The hum is everywhere. Its ultralow frequencies have been recorded in Antarctica and Algeria, and — as announced this week by the American Geophysical Union — on the floor of the Indian Ocean.

    We don’t know what causes it. Some have theorized that it’s the echo of colliding ocean waves, or the movements of the atmosphere, or vibrations born of sea and sky alike.

    In fact, there are probably a variety of factors that contribute to the mysterious “hum” of the Earth. A number of unusual phenomena have been reported over the years, which include sub-audible “hums” like those discussed in the news recently, to fairly audible (and often eerie) sounds which appear to emanate from within the Earth. Among these are noises which have been compared to sounding like “pipe organs” or horns, produced by rock and ice formations. In one well-documented series of reports of such phenomenon, published in the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal in 1819 by M. von Humboldt, organ-like sounds were reported emanating from rock formations appearing along the banks of the Orinoco river.

    Another instance of similar “Earth hums” in nature involved a sound that was recorded in Greenland on a number of instances. Dubbed “Ton der Dove-Bai”, it was first reported in August 1932 by a French Expedition exploring the Scoresby Sound. This sound, according to the French report, resembled a massive foghorn, and while the report was the first official record of the sound, it had been reported eight times by an earlier expedition group, who reported hearing the sound in five different locations in Greenland. These reports occurred both during the day and after the polar nightfall. The likely cause of the noise had been ice sheets shifting with gradual changes in the temperature.

    With regard to the recent discussion of ocean waves contributing to the Earth’s “hum,” it is worth noting that a study featured in Geophysical Research Letters back in the Spring of 2015 discussed this phenomenon, classifying it as a kind of microseismic activity caused by ocean waves. The study suggested that “movement of deep waves across ridges and other geological formations along the ocean floor” might produce the hum-like effect, which is perceptible in certain parts of the world.

    Additionally, as far back as 1998 data from a gravimeter located in East Antarctica indicated that certain unusual vibrations produced by the Earth essentially continue indefinitely. This may also be suggestive of the phenomenon having an origin with deep ocean waves.

    Whatever the true causes of Earth’s hum may be, science is beginning to close in on the phenomenon, and thus, a more clear understanding of our planet’s mechanics takes shape over time. For now, those interested in different varieties of mysterious sounds that occur in nature can visit this link, which provides an overview of the phenomenon, and discusses a number of them in depth.

    First AI with Imagination Could Mean ‘End of Reality As We Know It’

    Examples of the AI "imagination" showing how the system can change the weather in pre-recorded video clips.

    Examples of the AI “imagination” showing how the system can change the weather in pre-recorded video clips without being fed clips of the target weather.

    So far, not that frightened. The technology is still in its infancy, and has only been used in what researchers call “image-to-image translation,” or altering video clips and photos in small ways such as changing the setting from night to day, changing human subjects’ hair color, or switching a dog to one of another breed. Still, that’s pretty impressive if you think about it. Nvidia’s Ming-Yu Liu says that their system is the first to be able to do so simply by ‘imagining’ the new image or scene, as opposed prior similar systems which faced the problem of having to compile massive sets of data based on prior examples and extrapolating from those data:

    We are among the first to tackle the problem, [and] there are many applications. For example, it rarely rains in California, but we’d like our self-driving cars to operate properly when it rains. We can use our method to translate sunny California driving sequences to rainy ones to train our self-driving cars.

    The potential applications of this technology have lead some to wonder if similar AI networks might mean the “end of reality as we know it.” Whatever that means. Unless the whole universe spontaneously blinks out of existence, reality’s not going to end anytime soon. But I see what they mean; if completely real-looking video and audio can be generated by these AI networks, and those could be fed into, say, an advanced augmented reality setup or even some of the more Matrix-like brain-computer interfaces being developed, we could soon see the lines between virtual reality and physical reality start to get more difficult to distinguish. Until you take your headset off, that is. But what about if when these experiences can be transmitted directly into your brain’s sensory centers?

    The system can take a photo of a dog and change it into another dog. I thought reality-killing AI would be much scarier.

    The system can take a photo of a dog and change it into another dog. And here I thought reality-killing AI would be much scarier.

    While it’s unlikely we’ll see the end of any reality, we might see the creation of fully-fledged alternate realities. Without a doubt, this technology will someday be used to distort or obfuscate the truth here in our own reality. What is reality other than what we make of it, anyway? Recent events have shown us that it’s getting more and more difficult to discern truth from fiction in mass media; what will happen once completely real-looking video can be conjured up from the twisted imaginations of rogue AI systems? Of course, the same fears arose over the invention of moving pictures. Is this just the latest advancement in graphic and animation software, or could something more nefarious be brewing?

    NASA komt met grote aankondiging. Heeft deze planeetjager buitenaards leven ontdekt?

    NASA komt donderdag met een grote aankondiging rond planeetjager Kepler, die volgens het ruimteagentschap een doorbraak heeft bereikt.

    De ruimtetelescoop wordt ingezet door de NASA om te speuren naar andere aardes, waarvan op sommige leven kan bestaan.

    Er is verder nog maar heel weinig bekend over de aankondiging, die hoogstwaarschijnlijk betrekking zal hebben op exoplaneten.

    Sneller

    De ruimtevaartorganisatie zei dat de ontdekking is gedaan met behulp van de kunstmatige intelligentie van Google, die wordt gebruikt om de gegevens die de telescoop doorstuurt te analyseren.

    NASA hoopt levensvatbare planeten op die manier sneller te ontdekken.

    De Kepler-telescoop is gelanceerd in 2009, toen er nog maar weinig exoplaneten waren ontdekt. Inmiddels weten we dat ze rond de meeste sterren draaien.

    Helpen

    De missie werd in 2012 afgerond, maar Kepler bleef actief. In 2014 begon de telescoop opnieuw naar exoplaneten te speuren en andere kosmische fenomenen te onderzoeken.

    Omdat de telescoop zo ongelooflijk veel gegevens doorstuurt hebben wetenschappers moeite om de interessante planeten eruit te pikken. Kunstmatige intelligentie moet daarbij gaan helpen.

    Groot nieuws

    Eerder dit jaar kwam NASA met groot nieuws over een zonnestelsel dat veel overeenkomsten vertoont met het onze.

    Rond de ster TRAPPIST-1 bleken zeven exoplaneten te draaien waarvan zeker drie leven kunnen herbergen.

    De persconferentie is hier live te volgen.

    HUGE, MYSTERIOUS OBJECT FLYING PAST EARTH MIGHT BE AN ALIEN SPACECRAFT, SCIENTISTS SAY

    The long, thin body is very strange indeed

    ANDREW GRIFFIN

    A huge object that flew past Earth might be an alien spacecraft, scientists have said.

    Scientists had originally thought that the cigar-shaped object was a very strange passing asteroid. But a number of things have led scientists engaged in the search for alien life to wonder whether it might actually be an "artifact" from an alien civilisation.

    Researchers involved in the Seti – Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence – project are now preparing to point a powerful telescope at the bizarre object and find where it came from.

    The mysterious object, which has been named Oumuamua, is our first visitor from another part of the galaxy to make it into our solar system. It flew past in October when it was spotted by astronomers from the University of Hawaii.

    Scientists initially presumed that it was an asteroid. But a number of strange characteristics have led them to wonder whether it might have been intentionally formed.

    It is long and cigar-shaped, for instance. While it is hundreds of metres long, it's only one tenth as wide – and it is very unusual for asteroids to come in such non-round forms.

    Some researchers have suggested this long needle shape would be useful for a long-distance spacecraft, since it would minimise the chance of being hit by interstellar gas and dust as it travelled through the universe.

    The body is travelling quickly through the universe, at up to 196,000mph, and looks as if it will not get wrapped up in our sun's gravity but fly right through and out of the solar system.

    A statement from the 100 million dollar (£75 million) Seti project Breakthrough Listen, launched by Russian digital tech mogul Yuri Milner in 2015, said: "Researchers working on long-distance space transportation have previously suggested that a cigar or needle shape is the most likely architecture for an interstellar spacecraft, since this would minimise friction and damage from interstellar gas and dust.

    "While a natural origin is more likely, there is currently no consensus on what that origin might have been, and Breakthrough Listen is well positioned to explore the possibility that Oumuamua could be an artifact."

    The Breakthrough Listen team is using the Green Bank radio telescope in West Virginia, US, to study Oumuamua, which is named after the Hawaian term for "scout" or "messenger".

    From 8pm UK time on December 12, the giant dish - the largest fully steerable radio telescope in the world - will "listen" to the object across four radio frequency bands spanning one to 12 gigahertz.

    Lead scientist Dr Andrew Siemion, director of the Berkeley Seti Research Centre in California, said: "Oumuamua's presence within our solar system affords Breakthrough Listen an opportunity to reach unprecedented sensitivities to possible artificial transmitters and demonstrate our ability to track nearby, fast-moving objects.

    "Whether this object turns out to be artificial or natural, it's a great target for Listen."

    The object is currently about two astronomical units (AU) from Earth, or twice the distance between the Earth and sun.

    At this distance it would take less than a minute for the Green Bank telescope to detect an omnidirectional transmitter with the power of a mobile phone.

    Even if no evidence of extraterrestrial technology is found, the search could provide important information about gases surrounding Oumuamua or the presence or absence of water, say the researchers.

    Breakthrough Listen aims to survey a million nearby stars and 100 nearby galaxies looking for alien signals.

    Since the 1960s there have been more than 98 Seti projects around the world, none of which have turned up any convincing evidence of extraterrestrial civilisations.

    Enorm sigaarvormig object in ons zonnestelsel is mogelijk buitenaards ruimteschip. Dit zeggen wetenschappers erover

    Een enorm object dat pas geleden langs de aarde vloog is mogelijk een buitenaards ruimteschip, zo hebben wetenschappers gezegd.

    Ze dachten in eerste instantie dat het sigaarvormige object een zeer vreemde asteroïde was. Maar ze begonnen zich al snel af te vragen of het misschien een ‘artefact’ was van een buitenaardse beschaving.

    Onderzoekers die betrokken zijn bij het SETI-project zijn nu van plan een krachtige telescoop op het bizarre object te richten om te achterhalen waar het vandaan komt.

    Interstellair ruimteschip

    Het mysterieuze object, Oumuamua geheten, is de eerste bezoeker uit een ander deel van de Melkweg.

    Het vloog in oktober langs de aarde en werd gespot door astronomen van de Universiteit van Hawaï.

    Het is honderden meters lang, maar amper 80 meter breed, wat erg ongewoon is voor een asteroïde.

    Dat maakt dat Oumuamua eerder de vorm heeft van een interstellair ruimteschip dan van een asteroïde.

    Erg geschikt

    Sommige onderzoekers hebben gezegd dat deze naaldvorm erg geschikt is voor het maken van interstellaire reizen.

    Het object raast met honderdduizenden kilometers per uur door ons zonnestelsel en is inmiddels al bijna in de buurt van Jupiter.

    Oumuamua heeft op geen enkel moment een komeetachtige staart gehad, wat erop wijst dat het niet gaat om een stuk ruimterots uit een nabijgelegen zonnestelsel.

    Kunstmatig gemaakte verkenner

    Avi Loeb van de Harvard-universiteit zei: “Hoe meer ik dit object bestudeer, hoe ongewoner het lijkt, wat me doet afvragen of dit een kunstmatig gemaakte verkenner is die is gestuurd door een buitenaardse beschaving.”

    Vanavond gaan wetenschappers van het Breakthrough Listen-project, dat speurt naar buitenaards leven, Oumuamua bestuderen met de Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia.

    Living on thin air: microbe mystery solved

    DEBORAH SMITH

    A discovery that microbes in Antarctica can scavenge hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from the air to stay alive in such extreme conditions has implications for the search for life on other planets.

    robinsonridge.jpg

    Robinson Ridge, one of the two sites in Antarctica where microbes were collected.

    UNSW-Sydney led scientists have discovered that microbes in Antarctica have a previously unknown ability to scavenge hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from the air to stay alive in the extreme conditions.

    The find has implications for the search for life on other planets, suggesting extra-terrestrial microbes could also rely on trace atmospheric gases for survival.

    “Antarctica is one of the most extreme environments on Earth. Yet the cold, dark and dry desert regions are home to a surprisingly rich diversity of microbial communities,” says study senior author and UNSW scientist Associate Professor Belinda Ferrari.

    “The big question has been how the microbes can survive when there is little water, the soils are very low in organic carbon and there is very little capacity to produce energy from the sun via photosynthesis during the winter darkness.

    “We found that the Antarctic microbes have evolved mechanisms to live on air instead, and they can get most of the energy and carbon they need by scavenging trace atmospheric gases, including hydrogen and carbon monoxide,” she says.

    The Australasian-based study, by researchers at UNSW, Monash University, the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics at the University of Queensland, GNS Science in New Zealand, and the Australian Antarctic Division, is published in the journal Nature.

    Soil samples were collected from two coastal ice-free sites in different regions of eastern Antarctica. One was Robinson Ridge, 10 kilometres from Casey Station, in Wilkes Land. The other was Adams Flat, 242 kilometres from Davis Station in Princes Elizabeth Land.

    “Both areas are pristine polar deserts devoid of any vascular plants,” says Associate Professor Ferrari, of the UNSW School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences.

    The researchers studied the microbial DNA in the surface soil from both sites and reconstructed the genomes of 23 of the microbes that lived there, including some of the first genomes of two groups of previously unknown bacteria called WPS-2 and AD3.

    They found the dominant species in the soils had genes which gave them a high affinity for hydrogen and carbon monoxide, allowing them to remove the trace gases from the air at a high enough rate to sustain their predicted energy needs and support primary production.

    “This new understanding about how life can still exist in physically extreme and nutrient-starved environments like Antarctica opens up the possibility of atmospheric gases supporting life on other planets,” says Associate Professor Ferrari.

    Most organisms use energy from the sun or the earth to grow. More research is needed to see if this novel use of atmospheric gases as an alternative energy source is more widespread in Antarctica and elsewhere, the scientists say.

    Ontdekking op Antarctica heeft grote implicaties. Zijn deze vreemde bacteriën de sleutel tot het vinden van aliens?

    Op Antarctica zijn micro-organismen ontdekt die kunnen overleven op niet meer dan waterstof, koolmonoxide en koolstofdioxide uit de lucht.

    Er is op de Zuidpool nauwelijks of geen vloeibaar water, maandenlang komt de zon niet op en de temperaturen zijn er extreem laag. Toch wemelt het er van het leven, zo hebben onderzoekers ontdekt.

    Ze verzamelden in het kustgebied van Oost-Antarctica, Robinson Ridge en Adams Flat bodemmonsters en ontdekten 23 verschillende micro-organismen.

    Lucht

    Er zaten onder meer bacteriën tussen die wetenschappers nog niet in het laboratorium hebben kunnen kweken.

    De meeste microben die ontdekt zijn leven van gassen die ze uit de lucht halen. Door waterstof en koolmonoxide te oxideren kunnen ze energie produceren en in combinatie met koolstofdioxide zorgt dat voor organisch materiaal.

    De bacteriën slagen erin te overleven met weinig zonlicht, geen aardwarmte en een extreem beperkte hoeveelheid voedingsstoffen.

    Andere planeten

    De onderzoekers willen nu gaan kijken of deze levenswijze ook op andere plekken op Antarctica en de aarde voorkomt.

    Wat op Antarctica kan, moet ook op andere planeten kunnen, stellen ze.

    Astronomen zeggen dat de aanwezigheid van water een goede indicator is van leven op andere planeten, maar de nieuwe resultaten laten zien dat er ook genoeg andere indicatoren zijn.

    Opnieuw

    “Exoplaneten die niet werden gezien als kandidaten voor buitenaards leven moeten mogelijk opnieuw geanalyseerd worden om bewoonbare regio’s te vinden, aldus hoofdonderzoeker Belinda Ferrari van de University of New South Wales.

    Het is volgens haar mogelijk dat atmosferische gassen ook op andere planeten leven kunnen ondersteunen.

    De studie is gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Nature.

    ZO ZAL DE MENSHEID DE BUITENAARDSEN  BEGROETEN

    Wanneer de machthebbers op aarde de keuze hebben tussen het vriendschappelijk benaderen van ons bezoekende buitenaardsen of het ontketenen van een oorlog, zullen ze altijd voor het laatste kiezen. 

    Wat dat betreft is er helemaal niets veranderd sinds de tijd van het Wilde Westen, waar men eerst schoot en pas later vragen stelde. 



    Er zijn inmiddels talloze films en boeken verschenen over buitenaardse invasies en het is een onderwerp dat de meeste mensen ook niet onbekend zal voor komen. Daarnaast is er natuurlijk de elite en hun plannen om de mensheid te dwingen tot de New World Order door het kunstmatig creëren van een dergelijke invasie, waardoor de mensheid een gemeenschappelijke vijand heeft. Dit is het beruchte Project Blue Beam.

    Naast dat alles zijn er ook nog de echte buitenaardsen en ondanks dat ze hier altijd al hebben rondgelopen, doen we net alsof ze niet bestaan.

    Maar, hoe zouden de mensen op deze aarde werkelijk reageren als er een vloot buitenaardse schepen zou worden waargenomen die linea recta richting aarde koersen? Zouden wij ze met open armen ontvangen of bombarderen met kernwapens?

    Als we de Engelse voormalige leger UFO specialist Nick Pope mogen geloven, het laatste.

    Zo vertelt Nick Pope in een recent interview dat een invasie van buitenaardsen helemaal niet denkbeeldig is en dat wij er goed aan zouden doen om ons daaop voor te bereiden. Dat niet alleen, maar dat we er ook maar beter van uit kunnen gaan dat ze kwade bedoelingen hebben.

    Gebaseerd op zijn ervaringen in het Engelse leger en de manier waarop men daar denkt, heeft hij een scenario gemaakt van wat hij denkt dat er zou gebeuren als er een vloot buitenaardse ruimteschepen waargenomen zou worden.

    Zo denkt Nick dat buitenaardsen hier zouden komen om ons tot slaaf te maken of misschien dat ze ons beschouwen als een soort ongedierte of als interessante objecten in een dierentuin. Dat is de reden dat hij van mening is dat wij ons als aarde moeten voorbereiden op het ergste scenario en dat ze hier dus niet komen voor een vriendelijk bezoek.

    Wat daarnaast een belangrijke rol zal spelen, is dat ze technologisch waarschijnlijk veel verder gevorderd zullen zijn dan wij, wat het nog een stuk lastiger, zo niet onmogelijk, maakt om een dergelijke vijand te bestrijden.

    Hieronder is een nagemaakt officieel document, met daarop alle stappen die in dit geval de Engelse overheid zou ondernemen volgens Nick Pope.


    xxx

    Nick Pope ziet geen positief scenario wanneer buitenaardsen ons zouden bezoeken en gaat bij voorbaat uit van kwade bedoelingen. De vraag is natuurlijk als die buitenaardsen werkelijk kwaadgezind zouden zijn en beschikken over vergevorderde technologie, wat de aarde dan in 's hemelsnaam tegen een dergelijke vloot zou kunnen uitrichten?

    Het is alsof een wilde uit het oerwoud met pijl en boog een Apache gevechtshelikopter tegemoet treedt. 

    Een andere mogelijkheid is natuurlijk dat Nick Pope nooit werkelijk het leger heeft verlaten, maar de opdracht heeft gekregen om de bevolking voor te bereiden op een nep buitenaardse invasie die uiteraard kwaadgezind moet zijn omdat we een vijand nodig hebben.

    De werkelijkheid is dat wij mensen niet eens merken dat er buitenaardsen of half buitenaardsen in ons midden lopen. De werkelijkheid is dat wanneer buitenaardsen echt kwaad in de zin zouden hebben gehad wij dit allang gemerkt zouden hebben.

    De enigen die gegarandeerd kwaad in de zin hebben, zijn de "menselijke" machthebbers op deze wereld.

    HEBBEN WIJ PER ONGELUK DE BINNENKANT VAN DE AARDE KAPOT GRMAAKT...

    Zoals zo vaak staan wetenschappers voor raadsels wanneer er dingen gebeuren die niet in de handboeken staan. 

    Men heeft geen flauw idee waardoor het vreemde gebrom dat diep vanuit de aarde lijkt te komen, wordt veroorzaakt, maar is er misschien een reden waar niemand aan heeft gedacht?



    In recente nieuwsberichten werd melding gemaakt van het feit dat wetenschappers voor een raadsel staan aangaande een vreemd gebrom dat diep vanuit de aarde lijkt te komen. 

    Het gebrom is niet nieuw, want ze zijn al sinds 1959 hiermee bezig en nu zijn ze er eindelijk in geslaagd om het geluid vast te leggen met behulp van seismische instrumenten op de bodem van de zee. Wij mensen kunnen dit geluid niet horen omdat de frequentie te laag is.

    Ondanks dat men geprobeerd heeft een logische verklaring voor die geluiden te vinden, is er tot nu toe niet één die het kan verklaren. Het wordt niet veroorzaakt door atmosferische storingen of door golven, maar door wat dan wel?

    Kenmerkend is dat het over de gehele wereld voor komt, het niet aan een bepaalde locatie gebonden is en het permanent/constant aanwezig is.

    Stel dat dit geluid wordt veroorzaakt door iets wat wij als mens hebben gedaan en waar waarschijnlijk nog nooit iemand over heeft nagedacht? Grote problemen zijn wel vaker opgelost door een totaal andere invalshoek of denkwijze dan gebruikelijk.

    In eerste instantie wordt iemand vaak voor knettergek verklaard, zoals ons ook nogal eens overkomt, en later blijkt het dan toch te kloppen. Een beetje in diezelfde trant zijn de gedachten welke door een lezer aan ons werden gestuurd (dank!), met een bijzonder suggestie.

    Op het eerste gezicht denk je misschien: dat bestaat niet, maar het is wel een verklaring en dat is meer dan waar wetenschappers tot nu toe mee komen. Volgens deze lezer zit het antwoord misschien wel in petroleum.

    Waarbij we petroleum dan moeten lezen in de grotere definitie van het woord:

    In de bredere zin is petroleum een synoniem voor ruwe olie of aardolie.

    Het volgende is wat de lezer schrijft:

    Zoals jullie ondertussen wel weten, denk ik teveel na.

    Petroleum komt zogezegd van planten en dieren die miljoenen jaren geleden gestorven zijn. Als dat zo is, waarom word er nu door de natuur/aarde geen petroleum gemaakt van dode planten en dieren die gestorven zijn?

    Wat ik me dan ook afvraag, als al die planten en dieren na al die miljoenen jaren, kilometers onder de grond zitten als petroleum, hoe kan het dan, dat er zoveel dino skeletten en plantenfossielen aan de oppervlakte gevonden worden? Zouden die ook niet kilometers diep moeten zitten?

    Wetenschappers breken er momenteel hun hoofd over, waar het geluid vandaan komt dat ze opvangen uit de aarde.

    Ik heb jullie dit al eens gezegd, wat als petroleum dient om de binnenmantel soepel te doen draaien, rond de buitenmantel, of omgekeerd?

    Dus dan zou het geluid dat wetenschappers nu horen, het resultaat kunnen zijn van het wegpompen van een beschermlaag,zoals olie uit een motor verwijderen. Of de lucht uit je banden laten lopen, op je velgen rondrijden klinkt ook niet echt goed.

    Vergezocht en onmogelijk? Misschien, maar toch zeker de moeite waard om eens over dit soort dingen na te denken. Want wij hebben werkelijk geen flauw benul wat voor schade wij ondergronds aanrichten door het permanent wegpompen van olie. En ook weten we niet hoe de aarde eruit ziet, hoe deze is gemaakt, hoe deze ronddraait/of deze ronddraait. Wij denken dat te weten omdat ons dat op school wordt geleerd en omdat "experts" ons dat vertellen, maar werkelijk en hard bewijs daarvoor is echt moeilijk te vinden.

    Tot dusver klinkt de verklaring van de lezer een stuk beter dan wat vaag gewauwel over atmosferische storingen. Nadenken kunnen ze wel onze lezers en dat is iets om trots op te zijn.

    Bacteria discovery in Antarctica prompts rethink of humanity’s search for alien life

    PLANETS that were once not even considered candidates to host alien life might be reanalysed to find habitable regions after the discovery of unique bacteria.

    Using maths to find alien life

    BACTERIA discovered in the icy continent of Antarctica is set to change the way humanity looks for alien life on other planets.

    To date, our search for habitable worlds which could host alien life has been guided by what we know about life-conducive conditions on Earth. But in a new breakthrough, researchers have discovered a bacterium in Antarctica that can survive solely off chemicals in the air.

    The microscopic organisms can survive just of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide — opening up new possibilities about the existence of extraterrestrial life forms living in harsh conditions.

    Antarctica is among the most extreme environments on our planet and it was previously thought the stresses of freezing temperatures, limited carbon, nitrogen and water availability along with strong UV radiation restricted life.

    But new research reported in the journal Nature has shown the desert soils of Antarctica harbour surprisingly rich microbial communities.

    “Here we provide evidence that atmospheric trace gases are the primary energy sources of two Antarctic surface soil communities,” researchers wrote.

    “We propose that atmospheric H2, CO2 and CO provide dependable sources of energy and carbon to support these communities, which suggests that atmospheric energy sources can provide an alternative basis for ecosystem function to solar or geological energy sources.”

    Essentially, the bacteria can survive with little sunlight, no geothermal energy and extremely limited nutrients.

    The discovery was the result of DNA sequencing and analysis of soil samples collected from the icy continent.

    “Although more extensive sampling is required to verify whether this process is widespread in terrestrial Antarctica and other oligotrophic habitats, our results provide new understanding of the minimal nutritional requirements for life and open the possibility that atmospheric gases support life on other planets,” researchers said.

    Astronomers have historically sought out the potential presence of water when looking for planets which could support life but the bacteria findings show it’s not the only indicator  }for life.

    Exoplanets that were once not even considered to be candidates to hold life might be reanalysed to find habitable regions, said lead researcher Dr Belinda Ferrari.

    “This new understanding about how life can still exist in physically extreme and nutrient-starved environments like Antarctica opens up the possibility of atmospheric gases supporting life on other planets,” she said.

    Has an alien probe entered our solar system? Mystery object to be scanned for alien tech

    Is it possible that we’ve missed welcoming an alien visitor into our solar system?

    According to experts, it’s possible that an alien probe from a distant solar system may have entered our solar system, disguised as a ‘comet’.

    The mystery comet dubbed as Oumuamua is currently being investigated by astronomers for signs of extraterrestrial technology, as there are doubts among experts that the cigar-shaped comet isn’t just a comet.

    Now, alien-hunting scientists led by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner are set to scan the enigmatic object before it sails beyond Earth’s telescopes. They are looking for signs of advanced, or alien, technology.

    Oumuamua is the first interstellar object to have entered our solar system.

    Alien-hunting scientists say they are looking for ‘radio singles’ claiming that the mystery visitor from another solar system could, in fact, be an alien probe, exploring the cosmos.

    Yuri Milner is the tycoon behind the project Breakthrough Listen—a $100 million (£75m) search for intelligent extraterrestrial life.

    According to reports from the Atlantic, Mr. Milner received last week an email from one of his chief scientists, where he mentioned the enigmatic object sailing through our solar system.

    “The more I study this object, the more unusual it appears, making me wonder whether it might be an artificially made probe which was sent by an alien civilization,” Professor Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard’s astronomy department and one of Milner’s advisers on Breakthrough Listen, wrote in the email.

    According to Professor Loeb, the mysterious elongated shape of the comet is odd for a space rock but perfect for a space probe traveling between solar systems.

    Now, the Breakthrough Listen project has announced it will scan ‘Oumuamua this week for signs of radio signals.

    ‘Researchers working on long-distance space transportation have previously suggested that a cigar or needle shape is the most likely architecture for an interstellar spacecraft since this would minimize friction and damage from interstellar gas and dust,’ the research firm said in a statement.

    ‘While a natural origin is more likely, there is currently no consensus on what that origin might have been, and Breakthrough Listen is well positioned to explore the possibility that ‘Oumuamua could be an artifact.’

    To search Oumuamua for alien technology, scientists will use the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia.

    Despite the fact that the enigmatic object is now located at twice the distance between our planet and the Sun, the Green Bank Telescope can pick up the slightest signal, if of course there is anything to pick up.

    Researchers from the Breakthrough Listen project want to gather as much info as they can about the object before it leaves our solar system. In 2018, the mystery object will fly past Jupiter and will arrive at Pluto by the 2020s.

    “‘Oumuamua’s presence within our solar system affords Breakthrough Listen an opportunity to reach unprecedented sensitivities to possible artificial transmitters and demonstrate our ability to track nearby, fast-moving objects,” said Listen’s Andrew Siemion, Director of Berkeley SETI Research Center. “Whether this object turns out to be artificial or natural, it’s a great target for Listen.”

    Experts at Breakthrough Listen have also made it clear that even if no signal or other evidence of extraterrestrial technology is heard, Listen observations will cover portions of the radio spectrum in which the object has not yet been observed, and could provide important information about the possibility of water/ice, or the chemistry of a coma (gaseous envelope), neither of which have yet been identified.

    Astronomers Focus Search for Aliens on Interstellar Mystery Object

    Earlier this year, our solar system got a visitor the likes of which it has never seen. Astronomers first spotted the object on October 18th using the PanSTARRS 1 telescope in Maui. At first, the visitor appeared to be a the first known comet to originate from outside our solar system, but further observations revealed it to be much stranger. Nevertheless, it was clear that the speeding visitor came from interstellar space, so the object was given the name ‘Oumuamua from the Hawaiian meaning “a messenger from afar arriving first.” Further analysis by the European Southern Observatory found the object to be perhaps not quite a comet, not quite an asteroid, and cigar-shaped. Based on the light bouncing off of it (or lack thereof), astronomers estimate the object to be among the darkest objects ever observed in space, absorbing 96% of the light that touches its surface.

    Telescopic imagery of ‘Oumuamua (dot in center) passing through our solar system.

    Given the strange nature of the object, it wasn’t long before speculation ran wild that we might have just encountered our first extraterrestrial spacecraft. Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard’s astronomy department, writes “the more I study this object, the more unusual it appears, making me wonder whether it might be an artificially made probe which was sent by an alien civilization.” In particular, scientists are struck by the long cylindrical shape of the object; ‘Oumuamua is estimated to be between 100 and 400 meters long with much smaller diameter. Such cylinder shapes are perfect for aerospace applications – just look at our own space shuttles and rockets – but are seldom seen in naturally occurring space objects like comets or asteroids which tend to be more spheroid.

    But who knows how many weird asteroids we've yet to discover? There's no telling what 'Oumuamua could be.

    But who knows how many types of weird asteroids we’ve yet to discover? There’s no telling what ‘Oumuamua could be.

    With so much weirdness surrounding ‘Oumuamua, the Breakthrough Listen initiative has decided the object could be its best bet for discovering proof of an alien intelligence. Breakthrough Listen hails itself as “the largest ever scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of civilizations beyond Earth” and shares facilities and researchers with SETI. In a press release issued this morning, Breakthrough Listen announced that even if the possibility of ‘Oumuamua being an alien ‘artifact’ is low, it’s worth checking out:

    Researchers working on long-distance space transportation have previously suggested that a cigar or needle shape is the most likely architecture for an interstellar spacecraft, since this would minimize friction and damage from interstellar gas and dust. While a natural origin is more likely, there is currently no consensus on what that origin might have been, and Breakthrough Listen is well positioned to explore the possibility that ‘Oumuamua could be an artifact.

    Even if the chances that ‘Oumuamua could be an alien craft are tiny, any possibility greater than 0% is exciting. Could this be it? Are we finally be close to getting a glimpse of a civilization far more advanced than our own? I sure hope so. If this festering dung heap of a civilization is the best the Universe has got, maybe it’s best that we’re all alone out here. Breakthrough Listen’s observations of ‘Oumuamua begin tomorrow at the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. Fingers crossed.

    'Prepare for invasion' Ex-MoD UFO chief drafts WAR PLAN for future ALIEN assault

    A FORMER investigator for the Ministry of Defence has drafted a war plan reflecting how he believes the UK and US should respond to being attacked by aliens.

    Nick Pope has stressed that it is worth preparing for an alien invasion

    Nick Pope, who used to look into claims about UFOs for the Government, has suggested the UK should prepare for an alien invasion despite it being unlikely.

    He predicts that an extraterrestrial attack would likely see the UK ally with NATO and the US to hit aliens with missiles.

    However, Mr Pope also admitted that the UK would almost definitely be defeated by super-advanced alines in the event of a war.

    His plan also stipulates that the UK may have to rely on its nuclear defences as a last resort.

    The Government’s former UFO investigator said: “I based the document as much on declassified plans for the Iraq War as on my knowledge of UFOs and extraterrestrial life.

    “This is exactly the sort of top-level strategic document that politicians and senior officials need in order to take the very rapid and important decisions.”

    NASA does recognise the likelihood that humans will find alien life relatively soon. But it is widely believed that the chances of an alien invasion are very small.

    However, Mr Pope stressed that it is worth preparing for an alien invasion because its consequences would be so devastating.

    Mr Pope said: “There’s no government plan for an alien invasion, or for other scenarios where we find extraterrestrial life.

    “Aliens capable of getting to Earth would clearly have technology way ahead of ours, so getting into any kind of war should be the last resort.

    “We can only guess at what technology they may have, and what weaponry they might possess.

    “I hope that if aliens arrive on Earth they’ll come as explorers or scientists – but that’s wishful thinking.”

    Speaking to the Sun Online, Mr Pope predicted that if super-advanced aliens did arrive on earth, they would arrive as slavers, zoo keepers or pest controllers.

    The UK would almost definitely be defeated by super-advanced alines in a war, claimed Nick Pope

    He said: “The biggest single thing we can do to protect ourselves is to acknowledge that there’s an issue here.

    “With Nasa and others now openly talking about the possibilities of alien life, we can no longer dismiss this as sci-fi.

    “Is it that hard to believe that we might not be alone, and there might be civilisations out there much older than ours, and thus more advanced?”
