Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.
This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

Those of us writhing in these uncomfortable mortal coils will be sad to know that yet another asteroid will pass by Earth next month, and there’s nothing we can do to convince it otherwise.
The object in question, called 2002 AJ129, will miss Earth by about 2.6 million miles (4.2 million kilometers). In its closest approach to Earth, the asteroid will zoom by at roughly 76,000 miles per hour (34 kilometers per second). Although 2002 AJ129 is indeed thicc — greater in diameter than even the tallest building on Earth — it poses no risk to humanity.
“We have been tracking this asteroid for over 14 years and know its orbit very accurately,” Paul Chodas, manager of NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, California, says in a statement. “Our calculations indicate that asteroid 2002 AJ129 has no chance — zero — of colliding with Earth on Feb. 4 or any time over the next 100 years.”
Though there’s absolutely no chance that 2002 AJ129 will crash into our planet, that hasn’t stopped several media outlets from fanning the flames of fear:
via AJC.comvia Fox News via The Sun
While it’s true that 2002 AJ129 is technically considered a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA), this is a merely a label to describe its distance from Earth. It doesn’t mean the asteroid is capable of carrying out any real damage to our planet.
“Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are currently defined based on parameters that measure the asteroid’s potential to make threatening close approaches to the Earth,” NASA’s JPL writes. “Specifically, all asteroids with an Earth Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID) of 0.05 au or less and an absolute magnitude (H) of 22.0 or less are considered PHAs.”
As much as we’d all like an asteroid to wallop us squarely in the face, the reality is, that’s just not going to happen. It’s easier if you start accepting it now.
Hello! You've made it to the end of the article. Nice. Here's a related video you might like:
A car-sized spacecraft called the Parker Solar Probe is set to make history after it launches for an unprecedented destination: the sun. Touted as humanity’s first visit to a star, the spacecraft will fly through the sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the corona, getting seven times closer to the star’s surface than any spacecraft before it.

The one-of-a-kind spacecraft will employ a combination of in-situ measurements and imaging to probe the corona in unprecedented detail, revealing novel insights about the origin and evolution of the sun and the processes that govern it. In doing so, scientists will be able to improve their ability to forecast potentially hazardous solar storms and flares that can affect life and technology on Earth.
One such threat is represented by outbursts of coronal mass — huge bubbles of gas threaded with magnetic field lines that are ejected from the Sun over the course of several hours. When these strike the Earth, the consequences can be catastrophic. Some even claim a really powerful coronal mass ejection could fry most electronics on Earth or our communication satellite fleet up in orbit. Some of you might remember the 1989 Quebec incident, when the whole city had a blackout after the entire grid got fried, causing an estimated $2 billion Canadian in damage at the time. Besides blackouts, CMEs can also disrupt GPS signals and radio telecommunications.

Parker will come as close as 3.9 million miles (6.3 million km) to our star’s surface, well within Mercury’s orbit, hurtling around the sun at approximately 430,000 mph (700,000 kph).
To achieve their goals, NASA engineers protected the spacecraft with a 4.5-inch-thick (11.4 cm) carbon-composite shield which can withstand temperatures in excess of 2,500°F (1,377 C). The same shield will also protect Parker and its delicate instruments from the frostbite of space. Soon enough, we’ll know if the spacecraft will be ready for its launch scheduled for some time in the July 31 – Aug. 19, 2018 window. That’s because last week one of the probe’s most important tests began.
Engineers placed Parker into a thermal vacuum chamber where, over the course of the seven weeks, it will experience various simulated challenges of the kind it will be subjected to during the mission. Inside the dark, 40-foot-tall chamber, the spacecraft will be chilled to -292°F (-180°C) to simulate the chilling embrace of space, then blasted with the kind of heat the probe will encounter at its closest approach to the sun. Under such extreme conditions, NASA engineers will test the probe’s instruments and equipment such as its solar panels, which flap open and close like a bird’s wings.
Once deemed ready, Parker will be launched from a Delta IV Heavy rocket towards Venus’ orbit, where it will perform seven flybys over nearly seven years to gradually bring its orbit closer to the sun and into its corona.
Scientists hope that the data beamed back by the probe will help answer some very puzzling questions about the sun and its quirky phenomena. For instance, solar scientist Eugene Parker — the man after whom the spacecraft is named — first discovered in the 1950s that the solar wind of charged particles streaming from the corona moves faster than the speed of sound. To this day, we don’t know exactly why. Other mysteries which the probe might answer would be why the corona is hotter than the sun’s surface and how particles are ejected out of the corona and into space.
We’ve learned a lot about the sun in the last half-century but some things can never be settled unless you get close enough. Today’s technology finally makes it possible to send a spacecraft close enough to fly through the sun’s scorching atmosphere. Let’s just hope that, unlike Icarus, Parker’s wings won’t burn before it finishes its mission.
We need to start looking into the possibility that there are viruses living beyond the confines of our planet, argues Portland State University biology professor Ken Stedman.

Humanity has been thinking of life outside of the confines of Earth since times immemorial. It started with gods, angels, spirits, demons. Superstition gave way to cold knowledge and hard technology, morphing their image into aliens that were different, but not completely unlike us — à la those portrayed in H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds. As our scope widened and our reach extended with modern tech, we’re no longer content to just wait for aliens to drop on our doorstep. We’re actively looking, listening, prodding for life outside of the Earth, much farther away and on more channels than anytime before, in a tacit acknowledgment that those we may find could very well be just as planet-locked as we are.
Sill, we don’t have anything to show (as far as alien life goes) for all our efforts. Maybe, then, we should down-grade again and start looking for aliens that have yet to reach our rung on the technological and evolutionary ladder. Maybe its time we started looking for bits of life as seemingly insignificant as viruses living in space and on other planets. At least, that’s what Portland State University biology professor Ken Stedman and his co-authors argue for in a new paper — and they’re willing to kick-start that search.
It’s the little things that count
Stedman and his team say it’s past time that astronomers broaden their search for alien life by combing space for viruses.
“More than a century has passed since the discovery of the first viruses,” said Stedman, “entering the second century of virology, we can finally start focusing beyond our own planet.”
Seeing as there are around 10 to 100 times more viruses on Earth than any other cellular organism, Stedman believes that the same could hold true for other planets or moons out there. Furthermore, he bases his call to action on research which suggests that viruses have played a major role in the creation and evolution of life on Earth — and it’s likely they would play the same role in other places as well.
‘Simple life survives in space,’ granted, is a phrase that sounds far-fetched when you first hear it. Isn’t it, like, super cold out there and all? It is, but life (especially ‘simple’ life) is surprisingly good at finding a way.
Tardigrades, for example, have shown an incredible resilience to the vicissitudes of outer space, shrugging void, cold, and radiation with apparent ease for decades. Bacteria coalescing together in biofilms are surprisingly hardy, being able to brave harsh, Mars-like conditions. In fact, enduring a journey through space (such as on a spaceships’ hull) actually improves their chances of survival by drying this biofilm and making it more resilient. And radiation, even at levels that we’ve assumed deadly to virtually everything and anything alive, doesn’t seem to bother the bacteria too much either.
Tardigrades, also known as water bears, have been shown to survive in space — they even laid eggs on their trip. Image credits Eye of Science / Nature.
So could life survive a trip through space without a spaceship to insulate its squishy going-ons? Overwhelmingly likely, yes. In fact, it’s so likely that NASA has cause for concern that our microbes (and these are the soft-core microbes used to living in comfort on Earth) could contaminate other planets. We’ve seen all sorts of bugs hitching a ride (without official approval, the nerve on them) and gouging a permanent home aboard the ISS right under our noses.
“We have had contamination in parts of the station where fungi was seen growing or biomaterial has been pulled out of a clogged waterline, but we have no idea what it is until the sample gets back down to the lab,” said Sarah Wallace, NASA microbiologist and principal investigator for Genes in Space 3 at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Along with the tardigrades and biofilm-protected colonies of bacteria, it’s a good indication of just how pervasively present life tends to be after it first spawns. The crux of the issue, then, isn’t if life could make it through space — it’s whether or not it appeared there in the first place.
We only have indirect evidence. But this suggests that the chemical background necessary for life as we know it is there — we’ve found water in space, we’ve found organic compounds, we’ve found basic biological building blocks such as amino acids, and we’ve found them all together in the same place.
While the ingredients seem to be there, all ready to boil in a primordial life-generating soup, however, what we haven’t found is actual life. Taking the focal point from away the grandest aspects of life like radio signals or Dyson spheres might help us spot anything really small we’ve missed up to now.
Stedman and his team say they hope to “to inspire integration of virus research into astrobiology” by shining the limelight on pressing, unanswered questions in astrovirology — “particularly regarding the detection of virus biosignatures and whether viruses could be spread extraterrestrially”.
The paper “Astrovirology: Viruses at Large in the Universe” has been published in the journal Astrobiology.

Even a cloaked ship will cast a shadow. So we see that alien technology is not flawless. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
1... I was on my rear deck taking pics of this odd object during sunset. 2...Never saw anything like it in 60 years of outdoorsmanship. 3... military craft? I don't know. That's why I'm giving it over to you. 4... bewildered 6... sunset So looking for your ideas on this??? I NEVER saw anything like this. Taken with my Cannon Digital 70-140 lens if that is of help..

This UFO report came in today, but actually occurred last April. UFOs have been occasionally seen over England and the local news there has found no definite conclusions about what they are. This is a great photo, that shows two UFOs. One is the side view of the UFO, the other is the top view since its turned. Extraordinary catch.

Eyewitness states:
I was going out to the garage to sort out my laundry when I seen one very bright sphere in the sky just above the local milking parlour, so I stood and looked for a while, then maybe a minute later another one appeared to the right of it, at that a ran and got my 19 yr old daughter and partner, when they come a 3rd one appeared again to the right of the first 2, so I got my phone to take pictures and a video, as quickly as it came the 3rd disappeared, I took a video but it didn't puck them up, unfortunately I flippin deleted it but I took a photo, then about 5 minutes later the second dissapeared then the first, just like turning a light off in the house. If it was clouds covering them the first one on the left would have went out first, but it was a clear evening with no clouds that I could see. I was disappointed when I reviewed the picture I thought the camera didn't pick them up but as I zoomed in the 2 white spheres appeared. I am watching nasa's unexplained files and seen a few guests had mufcon after their name, so looked it up and seen report a sighting so that's what I'm doing lol could be nothing but thought I'd let the experts have a look.
Polar stratospheric clouds also known as nacreous clouds or mother of pearl, due to its iridescence, are clouds in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 meters (49,000–82,000 ft.
Due to their high altitude and the curvature of the surface of the Earth, these clouds will receive sunlight from below the horizon and reflect it to the ground, shining brightly well before dawn or after dusk.
Just Amazing!

'I'M NOT A MOLE' - Former MoD man's shock statement amid claims 'he covers up UFO truth'
'I'M NOT A MOLE' - Former MoD man's shock statement amid claims 'he covers up UFO truth'
A FORMER ministry of Defence (MoD) insider has gone on record to deny being a Government mole used to try to "cover up the truth about UFOs and aliens".
Nick Pope has issued a categorical denial to the UFO community that he still works for the MoD.
Nick Pope worked for the British MoD from 1985 to 2006, and between 1991 to 1994 ran extensive enquiries into any potential defence threat posed by the UFO phenomenon.
The project was shut down with the conclusion there was no threat.
Now based in the US, Mr Pope tours the globe speaking at UFO and alien-related conferences, as well as describing on documentaries what he has unearthed.
Mr Pope has recently been open about the fact that, although he believes aliens must exist somewhere in the universe, and that there have been some inexplicable UFO sightings, he does NOT believe any ETs have ever made it to Earth.
His views have left him the target of what he says are unfounded claims that he is still working for the Government, to push out "misinformation" and discredit those who claim there is a huge global cover up to hide the fact aliens are here but the truth is hidden.
He told Express.co.uk: "I accept there are people out there who think I'm still secretly working for the government, helping to cover all this up, I promise I'm not."
Mr Pope has even campaigned for the release of the last batch of MoD files on previous investigations carried out, the last of which were sent to the National Archives on New Year's Day.
It was a ten year slog to get them all out he said.
However, Mr Pope, said many people remained unsatisfied, and says some conspiracy theorists still believe "all the god stuff has been held back" and the releases were more "disinformation."
There is a widely believed conspiracy theory that aliens actually live in secret bases in the US, and the government has agreed to keep them hidden away, in return for the technology to build flying saucers.
Mr Pope says there is no evidence to suggest this is.
The pictures of a "human-like alien" and "control panel inside a flying saucer" are being published in an English language book for the first time, according to publisher Flying Disk Press.
The grainy black and white images appear to show inside a cockpit with seating, control panel and other objects.
There is also what looks like a person wearing sunglasses that is said to be a "real alien visitor".
According to staggering claims in the book UFO Contacts in Italy, which is about so-called alien contact and abductions in the country, a flying saucer landed in Francavillia, Italy on the Adriatic Coast.
Dr Roberto Pinotii, 73, author of the book, due to be published on February 1, spoke about what is claimed happened.
He said: "Two men were allowed to enter the UFO and take photographs. The diameter of the UFO was 24 metres, that of the control cabin was 10 metres.
"These rare and extraordinary photographs, as well as two photographs of the alleged extraterrestrial pilot... have been published here for the first time."
Flying Disk Press
The images (right) are said to have been taken inside a flying saucer.
"A group of local residents seems to have been involved in periodic regular contacts with humanlike extra-terrestrial 'friends' willing to help mankind.
"These beings would have built underground bases on Earth and in Italy the most important one would have been in the central zone of the peninsula along the Adriatic coast not far from Pescara."
It is claimed the "contact" in the area went on for 20 years and even Italian diplomat Consul Alberto Perego witnessed events.
Sceptics say the pictures and the case are just another elaborate hoax.
Publisher Phillip Mantle said: "Roberto Pinotti is an aerospace journalist and author and the main Italian scholar in ufology, with a degree in politics and sociology from the University of Florence.
"He is the only living founder of Italy’s Centro Ufologico Nazionale (CUN), one of the world’s oldest and most authoritative private UFO study organisations formed 50 years ago."
He was formerly an officer of the NATO Italian Army III Missile Brigade.
He claims to have co-operated with the Italian Intelligence community as a consultant for UFOs and been given important official documents by the Italian Department of Defence.

The Afterglow of a Neutron Star Collision Continues to Brighten Months After the Event
The Afterglow of a Neutron Star Collision Continues to Brighten Months After the Event
A collision that occurred between two neutron stars in a galaxy 138 million light years from Earth was observed in August of 2017, generating both gravitational waves that were detected by the LIGO and Virgo gravity-wave observatories, and a gamma-ray burst that was recorded by the Fermi and INTEGRAL satellites. This is the first time that both gravity and electromagnetic waves have been detected from an astronomical event, as all previous detections of gravity waves have come from collisions between black holes. But in the observations made by the Chandra X-Ray observatory since the event, the afterglow from the initially-brilliant gamma ray burst hasn't faded in the way scientists would expect: it has instead continued to brighten.
"Usually when we see a short gamma-ray burst, the jet emission generated gets bright for a short time as it smashes into the surrounding medium -- then fades as the system stops injecting energy into the outflow," explains astrophysicist Daryl Haggard, with Canada's McGill University. "This one is different; it’s definitely not a simple, plain-Jane narrow jet."
In the months after the event, the leftover glow from the neutron star merger, dubbed a "kilonova" due to the energy released being over one thousand times greater than that of a typical stellar nova, continued to brighten in the X-ray and radio wave wavelengths. Astronomers were unable to see the source for three months, as the elliptical galaxy that it originated from, NGC 4993, was obscured behind the Sun. But when it finally reemerged, the signal had gained even more strength.
First Light Detected from Gravitational-Wave Event
"When the source emerged from that blind spot in the sky in early December, our Chandra team jumped at the chance to see what was going on," says lead author John Ruan, a postdoctoral researcher at the McGill Space Institute. "Sure enough, the afterglow turned out to be brighter in the X-ray wavelengths, just as it was in the radio."
The leading theory behind this unexpected brightening is that the merger of the two neutron stars produced an energetic jet that illuminated the gaseous debris surrounding the system, creating a heated "cocoon" that continued to increase in its radiance. Regardless, this mysterious event has provided a tantalizing puzzle for physicists.
"This neutron-star merger is unlike anything we’ve seen before," says Melania Nynka, an X-ray astronomer and postdoctoral researcher at McGill. “For astrophysicists, it’s a gift that seems to keep on giving."

Ovni: la panique comme véritable raison du secret ?
Ovni: la panique comme véritable raison du secret ?
Je tiens à vous faire partager une pensée intéressante sur la question des principes de l’ufologie. Ce texte est tiré du livre de Robert Roussel ; OVNI, la fin du secret dont je vous conseille fortement la lecture si vous parvenez à vous l’obtenir car il n’est plus édité. J’espère qu’il me pardonnera d’avoir emprunté ses paroles mais je n’ai pas réussi à le contacter pour avoir son autorisation. Mr Roussel, si vous lisez mon livre, pardonnez moi.
« Lorsque vous observez le vol d’une mouche, vous vous demandez peut-être ce que peuvent signifier ces figures qui s’entrecroisent et où il est difficile de trouver un embryon de logique.
Imaginons une civilisation ayant trouvé refuge sur un grain de sable. Pour cette civilisation, la découverte du vol de la drosophile serait un véritable casse-tête et les scientifiques de ce monde minuscule auraient bien du mal à construire une théorie cohérente pouvant expliquer et la mouche et son comportement à la seule vue de ces évolutions.
Je crois qu’actuellement, malgré certaines études poussées, fruits de quelques scientifiques isolés, nous en sommes encore, en matière d’ovni, au stade du « vol de la mouche ».
C’est du moins l’impression que l’on retire de la lecture du matériel dont disposent, sous forme de témoignage et les journalistes spécialisés. Ces objets ont des formes très diverses. Les observations les concernant sont généralement très brèves (bien que certaines d’entre-elles durent parfois une heure ou même davantage). Leurs manœuvres sont incompressibles, en contradiction avec les lois les plus élémentaires de la physique. Ils sont, par essence, imperméables à l’étude et déroutent le monde scientifique.
Les lecteurs assidus des livres et publications spécialisées dans l’étude des ovnis, de même que les chercheurs possédant des archives sur les vagues des années 50 et 70, reconnaîtront sans peine qu’il est difficile de constater une franche évolution dans le comportement de ces mystérieux objets célestes qui hantent, depuis trente années très exactement, les couloirs de la science.
Ce sont toujours les mêmes évolutions incompréhensibles, les mêmes couleurs incroyables, les mêmes apparitions éphémères pour des objets aux formes connues qui vont du cigare à la soucoupe en passant par le triangle ou le carré, quand ce n’est pas le croissant ou… la banane ! si l’on fait abstraction du nombre d’observations qui, lui, semble avoir augmenté, le phénomène OVNI reste toujours aussi insaisissable qu’au premier jour. Que sont-ils, D’où viennent-ils ? Nous ne le savons pas… Ce qui n’empêche pas les « soucoupistes » du monde entier d’émettre à ce propos un nombre impressionnant de théories souvent plus abracadabrantes les unes que les autres…
L’une de ces théories veut que le phénomène ait une finalité bien précise. Les preuves de cette finalité résideraient dans des atterrissages ou dans des prétendus « contact » qu’auraient régulièrement les occupants des soucoupes volantes avec des représentants privilégiés. Bien entendu, ces théoriciens sont près à nous prouver, chiffres et récits à l’appui, que le nombre des « contactés » ne cesse d’augmenter. Par conséquent, disent-ils, on finira bien par aboutir à une reconnaissance officielle du phénomène.
Ce type d’argumentation est apparu à toutes les époques de grandes observations et, bien sûr, il n’a encore jamais été vérifié. Si la théorie des « contacts » était exacte, comment expliquer que nos visiteurs extraterrestres se comportent en 1977 comme s’ils se comportaient déjà… disons en 1921 ! Car les témoignages de « contactés » abondent à toutes les époques. Et à chaque fois les occupants des soucoupes se comportent comme s’ils débarquaient pour la première fois sur notre planète, sans tenir compte des expériences qu’on leur attribue, déjà, dans le passé. Le lecteur pourra d’ailleurs s’en apercevoir au cours des pages qui vont suivre : lorsque l’on aborde ce problème que l’on se réfère à témoignage de 1954 ou de 1974, on retrouve les mêmes descriptions chez les témoins que séparent, pourtant vingt années.
Tandis que certains sont persuadés de la réalité du contact avec des entités extraterrestres, pour d’autres, ces objets volants aux ressources fabuleuses et inconnues ne sont que la manifestation moderne d’un inconscient collectif. Il y a un siècle, il s’exprimait par le biais des siècles spirites, au Moyen Age par celui des lutins et des fées et sous l’antiquité par l’intermédiaire des dieux et des déesses, ces époques projetant à leur manière les angoisses et les espoirs de l’âme.
Entre ces deux tendances extrêmes, intéressantes parce qu’elles démontrent bien la première avec la théorie de la présence du contact l’aspect matériel de l’observation, la seconde en s’apparentant aux troubles de l’âme à caractère philosophique, il doit exister une vérité qui justifie ces deux aspects, apparemment contradictoires.
Cette vérité ne saurait percer que par l’étude des faits. C’est pourquoi il me paraît essentiel d’éviter, dans ce domaine, toute interprétation par trop anthropomorphique. Seul l’examen minutieux du témoignage doit guider l’enquêteur. Quand aux grandes théories philosophiques que ce phénomène engendre parfois, il me semble judicieux de s’en tenir écarté.
Les auteurs de la plupart des ouvrages consacrés aux OVNIS ne se plaisent à retenir généralement que ce qui est susceptible de confirmer leurs propres théories. Si jamais un témoignage entre en contradiction avec ces théories, on l’écarte tout simplement.
C’est ainsi que se sont crées une littérature du « pour » et une littérature du « contre » dont la seule caractéristique commune est de s’ignorer mutuellement sans qu’il soit question de chercher chez l’autre un quelconque élément d’information positif (2). Dans ces conditions, il paraît peu probable que l’on aboutira un jour à une théorie unique rassemblant les actuels partisans et adversaires de la soucoupe sous la seule bannière de la vérité.
Car pourquoi en trente années (1) d’enquêtes, on n’est pas parvenu à progresser dans ce domaine ? Entre autres raisons, parce que l’information circule mal. La plupart des livres traitant de ce sujet ont été écrits par des inconditionnels de la soucoupe dont les théories pour le moins discutable font fuir les gens sérieux qui, sans cela, consentiraient sans doute volontiers à se pencher sur le problème. Par conséquent, les livres sérieux qui, déjà, n’existent qu’en tout petit nombre, passent totalement inaperçus et ne connaissent pratiquement aucunes publicités. De plus, ils sont souvent l’œuvre de scientifiques dont le jargon s’avère difficilement accessible au simple mortel. Alors ?
Alors, il devient urgent, aujourd’hui, de présenter toutes les pièces du dossier pour remédier à la situation dans laquelle nous nous trouvons. Il fait entendre le témoins sérieux dont l’histoire parait incroyable, écouter l’observateur consciencieux qui confond satellite et OVNI, suivre avec attention toutes les pistes qui conduisent au canular, analyser, enfin, enquêtes et déclarations officielles des responsables militaires et scientifiques. En un mot, il faut faire l’instruction du dossier en tentant d’y inclure une notion élargie du témoignage. Cette notion élargie nous incite à restituer la totalité des faits se rapportant aux OVNIS dont nous avons connaissance. C’est pourquoi on ne se contentera pas de préciser au lecteur des observations exceptionnelles tant en raison de la nature de l’objet que de celle de l’observateur. Il existe, en effet, une grande quantité d’ouvrages recensant les observations de ce type et cela ne fait pas beaucoup avancer a recherche. »
1 : Dates avancées de l’époque (texte écris en 1970) 2 : Il est évident que ces deux catégories de littérature est la plus abondante, les soucoupes volantes, étant, aujourd’hui encore, une source de profit appréciable.
Je pense qu’une fois qu’on aura répondu a ces questions, on eput envisager un contact… là on aura fait preuve d’intelligence…
Many folks, in some unspecified time in the future, have seemed up on the vastness of a summer time evening’s sky and puzzled, “Is anybody out there?” There are over 200 billion stars within the Milky Way galaxy, which is only one of possibly 100 billion galaxies within the recognized universe. Our understanding of house modifications day by day, and our notion of the cosmos modifications with it. If you’ve ever considered what’s occurring within the evening sky, there are groups of cosmologists, astronomers, and physicists dedicated to discovering out.
This checklist drills down into the phrases scientists and layman alike use in discussing the likelihood of extraterrestrial life. From theories explaining why we have now but to come back throughout alien life to the phrases utilized by scientists who’re actively looking for it, this checklist will be your go-to information for an introductory take a look at our ageless pursuit for extraterrestrial life.
10. Fermi Paradox
Enrico Fermi was an Italian-American scientist, born in Rome on the flip of the 20th century. A famous “architect of the nuclear age,” Fermi’s brilliance can’t be overstated. At 28, he was elected to the Royal Academy of Italy, the youngest inductee in its historical past. He went on to win the 1938 Nobel Prize in physics for his contributions to the invention of induced radioactivity and was a core contributor to the Manhattan Project. Yet, among the many accolades his identify will be related to, it’s his quandary concerning extraterrestrial life that caught.
The Fermi paradox is a comparatively primary idea which asks if it’s simple, and even potential, for clever extraterrestrial life to develop, then why haven’t we are available contact with it? His remark, made at lunch with coworkers, went on to underscore elementary notions about extraterrestrial life. Our galaxy has many stars just like our Sun, and plenty of are billions of years older. At least a few of these stars probably have planets appropriate for all times orbiting them. Further, with the event of life comes the evolution of clever life and interstellar journey.
Fermi believed that any clever civilization with ample propulsion and even a modest thirst for conquest ought to have made itself recognized within the Milky Way by now.[1] So why hasn’t it? Our knowledge in regards to the observable universe suggests the presence of life needs to be seen; that it isn’t has turn out to be one of many nice paradoxes dictating our understanding of house.
9. Drake Equation
Frank Drake is an American astronomer and astrophysicist who developed a method with quantifiable variables figuring out the presence of extraterrestrial life. Drake’s improvement of what got here to be generally known as the Drake equation was largely unintentional. He was spearheading a gathering of like-minded astronomers on the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia, in 1961 and lacked a structured agenda. A day earlier than the convention, Drake shorthanded a method for figuring out the potential of clever life in our galaxy.[2]
This method is N = R x fp x ne x fl x fi x fc x L, the place:
N = the variety of civilizations in our galaxy able to communication R = common price of star formation fp = proportion of these stars with planets ne = common variety of liveable planets per star fl = fraction of liveable planets that go on to develop life fi = proportion of planets with life that develop clever life fc = clever life bearing planets the place life develops detectable communication L = period of time a civilization’s communication is detectable
The Drake equation depends on a number of unknown variables, however it gave astronomers a concrete beginning gate for deducing the presence of clever life all through our galaxy. For greater than 50 years, scientists have used Drake’s equation as their basis for extrapolating the existence of clever extraterrestrial life.
8. Zoo Hypothesis
Star Trek followers acknowledge the Prime Directive as one of many core moral tenets of the cosmos. Simply put, the Prime Directive forbids Starfleet communication with, or interference in, the event of fledgling civilizations throughout the universe. This means civilizations of their early years are left to develop undisturbed by exterior forces.
This conception of alien life, and why we haven’t encountered any, was recommended in 1973 by MIT radio astronomer John Ball because the zoo speculation.[3] Ball’s speculation asserts that alien civilizations could also be observing a pact or treaty during which they actively keep away from underdeveloped civilizations, like ours on Earth, which haven’t but reached a degree of interplanetary communication. There are a number of proposed causes behind this avoidance, mainly that it’s to our profit, or the good thing about different civilizations, that we be allowed to organically develop as a civilization. Simply put, the zoo speculation views humanity as a part of a galactic sanctuary, off-limits to extra superior beings.
7. Great Filter
The idea of the Great Filter involves us from economics professor Robin Hanson. In a nutshell, it responds to the Fermi paradox and all different claims explaining our lack of communication with aliens.[4] Hold onto your seat, as a result of the Great Filter, relying on how its interpreted, is both extremely optimistic or downright dreary.
The concept proposes that at the very least one occasion within the timeline resulting in clever life is very unlikely. For instance, it could be just about unattainable for the suitable star-planet interaction to develop, making subsequent life unattainable. Or, the Great Filter will not be the event of life however quite the emergence of multicellular life. This would imply single-celled prokaryotic organisms are comparatively frequent, however complicated eukaryotic organisms not often develop. There are many recommended Great Filter occasions that humanity has already achieved, placing us on the suitable facet of future. It would imply that people on Earth have finished the near-impossible, popping out the opposite facet of an especially uncommon galactic occasion.
Now for the draw back: We might be on the incorrect facet of the Great Filter. This would imply that it’s frequent for clever life like us to develop within the universe, however civilizations in our stage of improvement, or shortly after, face a crushing occasion that wipes them out. Given the instances we dwell in, with local weather change and nuclear proliferation, amongst different challenges, it’s potential that the Great Filter(ing) occasion is up forward of us and that few to no civilizations make it out the opposite finish.
6. The Kardashev Scale
The Kardashev scale was developed in 1964 by Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev.[5] Kardashev’s scale was designed to measure the power potential of clever civilizations and used this measurement as a marker of their development. Kardashev’s authentic scale, later annotated by different scientists, recommended three sorts of civilizations:
A Type I civilization can make the most of the entire power generated by a father or mother star on their house planet. With a Type I civilization, a planet’s power absorption and manufacturing are captured and put to full use. Type II civilizations are able to harnessing the complete power manufacturing of a star. There are some fairly spectacular renderings on the market of how this could be finished; one suggestion is the event of a Dyson sphere. A Type III civilization controls power output on the scale of its total galaxy, no small feat.
Other scientists added Type IV and Type V civilizations, which might characteristic much more wild applied sciences. Type IV civilizations could be almost able to utilizing the power output of the entire universe. Type V civilizations would have the ability to manipulate the universe at will and would basically be godlike.
You could also be questioning the place humanity falls on this grand scale. Well, we’re at zero or near it. Astronomer Carl Sagan recommended a rating of round zero.7, given our present use of fossil fuels and different nonrenewable sources of power. This means we’ve obtained a while earlier than we even rank on Kardashev’s scale.
5. Multiverse Theory
We’re going to briefly step exterior not solely our galaxy however our entire universe. That’s as a result of any dialogue of extraterrestrial life isn’t full and not using a nod to multiverse concept. Multiverse concept initiatives that there could also be a vast variety of various universes on the market. In some instances, these different universes could be just like the one we inhabit, the place small variations result in variations in space-time, catalyzing an infinite variety of parallel universes.
Secondly, cosmologist Alexander Vilenkin devised the “bubble universes” idea of the multiverse. In this case, our universe inflated exponentially after the Big Bang. Many different universes inflated as effectively, like a balloon, whereas others stopped rising in some unspecified time in the future. This led to “pocket” universes, all minimize off from each other, with novel legal guidelines of physics.[6]
There are varied iterations of multiverse concept, every with their very own bodily and metaphysical guidelines. Needless to say, it’s so much to wrap one’s head round. As it pertains to extraterrestrial life, simply preserve this in thoughts: We don’t know what life exists in our universe, and moreover, we don’t know what life exists in different universes.
4. Aestivation Hypothesis
Aestivation refers to an animal’s interval of inactivity, just like hibernation, when its metabolic price slows in response to excessive exterior temperatures and little water. Food and different sources could also be scarce throughout a interval of aestivation, so it is sensible for animals, just like the crocodile, to put low and never waste power reserves.
Applied at an interstellar degree, the aestivation speculation dictates that earlier clever civilizations developed throughout the universe, however for the reason that universe continues to be comparatively new and sizzling, they’re ready for it to chill off. Cosmic temperatures are at the moment excessive, placing a premium on processing effectivity. Think of it this fashion: Intelligent beings don’t need their supercomputers to overheat, so they’re ready (billions, possibly trillions, of years) for the universe to chill off and be extra hospitable to exploration and exploitation.[7] This speculation gives a solution to the beforehand acknowledged Fermi paradox. Where is everybody? Currently, they’re taking a nap.
3. SETI
The seek for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has been listening, patiently, for alerts from extraterrestrial life for over 50 years.[8] Any 21st-century dialogue of extraterrestrial life could be remiss and not using a nod to SETI. So, what precisely is SETI, and the way does it work? The earliest makes an attempt at SETI happened within the spring of 1960, directing microwave frequencies towards star methods just like our photo voltaic system. The Soviet Union, in the meantime, was growing its personal SETI methods, together with the creation of omnidirectional antennae, used to look at massive swaths of the evening sky for power created by hyper-futuristic civilizations.
The present worldwide normal for SETI analysis employs radio telescopes to look at frequency aberrations that make their manner into our environment. Thus, a lot of SETI exercise is directed at “listening” for indicators of extraterrestrial life. The newest and biggest find aliens? That could be METI (Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence) International, which makes direct makes an attempt to contact distant life-forms which will have an ear to the sky.
2. Gaian Bottleneck
In line with the Great Filter strategy to extraterrestrial life is the Gaian Bottleneck idea. Fourbillion years in the past, Venus, Earth, and Mars might have all had situations appropriate for all times to kind. Yet, subsequently, Venus heated up exponentially, whereas Mars froze over. Many astronomers consider eventualities like this are fairly frequent within the universe, which means there could also be a plethora of planets providing optimum environments for formative years to kind, however that life can’t adapt and stabilize on the planet in time to evolve into complicated organisms. This is the place the Gaian Bottleneck exists, quickly after the event of easy organisms, which can be ample within the universe.
Few of those organisms, presumably solely us, have been capable of clear the bottleneck and evolve previous being prokaryotic. As we discover the far reaches of the universe, it’s fairly potential we’ll come throughout numerous fossilized microbes, proof that life is frequent in our universe.[9] Intelligent life . . . not a lot.
1. Mediocrity Principle
We shut out this checklist with a comparatively easy addition, albeit one on the very coronary heart of how we take into consideration extraterrestrial life. The mediocrity precept means that an merchandise drawn at random from a big set of objects will almost certainly be from one of many extra frequent classes inside the group.[10] Think of it this fashion: A hat has ten items of paper. Nine of them are purple, and one is inexperienced, however you don’t know this forward of time. You draw a purple piece of paper. Applying the mediocrity precept, you assume, primarily based on the legal guidelines of likelihood, your paper is from a comparatively frequent grouping.
Applied to cosmology, the mediocrity precept is used to say that Earth is statistically almost certainly to be among the many majority group of planets, which means planets like Earth are plentiful all through the universe. On the flip facet, the uncommon Earth speculation means that Earth, picked at random among the many planets, simply occurs to be that inexperienced piece of paper. Who’s to say if the mediocrity precept or the uncommon Earth speculation is appropriate. Until we uncover extraterrestrial life (or they uncover us) it’s anyone’s guess.

Ancient nuclear war between earthmen and aliens
Ancient nuclear war between earthmen and aliens
Scientists are increasingly coming to the conclusion that many thousands of years ago there was a nuclear war between ancient Asarians and space aliens, which led to an ecological catastrophe and a change in the living conditions on our planet.
There are many confirmations of this hypothesis. On Earth, there are a lot of traces of the effect of radiation. Animals and humans have mutations that cause cyclopoiesis (in Cyclops the single eye is above the bridge of the nose). From the legends of different peoples, one can learn about the existence of cyclops that are at war with humans.
Secondly, radiation leads to polyploidy – doubling the chromosome set, which causes gigantism and doubling of the organs: two hearts or two rows of teeth. Scientists periodically find on Earth the remains of giant skeletons with a double row of teeth.
The third direction of radioactive mutagenesis is mono-holoidy. Although even now this race on Earth is the most widespread, but earlier there were much more Mongoloids – they met in Europe, and in Sumeria, and in Egypt and even in Central Africa.
Another confirmation of radioactive mutagenesis is the birth of freaks and children with atavisms (return to ancestors). Radiation leads to a six-fingeredness that occurs in Japanese survivors of the American nuclear bombing, as well as in newborns of Chernobyl.
Over a hundred craters with a diameter of 2-3 kilometers are found on Earth, among which there are two huge ones: in South America (diameter – 40 km) and in South Africa (diameter – 120 km). If they were formed in the Paleozoic era (350 million years ago), then nothing would have been left of them long ago, because the thickness of the upper layer of the Earth increases by about a meter in a hundred years. And the funnels are still intact. This suggests that a nuclear strike occurred 25-35 thousand years ago. Taking 100 funnels for 3 km, we get that 5000 Mt of bombs were blown up for the war with the asuras.
These facts confirm that there was a nuclear war. The fire burned “three days and three nights” (as the “Maya Code of the Rio” narrates) and caused a nuclear rain – where bombs did not fall, radiation struck. Another terrible phenomenon caused by radiation is light body burns. They are explained by the fact that the shock wave propagates not only along the earth, but also upwards. Reaching the stratosphere, it destroys the ozone layer that protects the Earth from damaging ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet is known to burn unprotected skin. Nuclear explosions resulted in a significant reduction in pressure and poisoning of the atmosphere’s gas composition, killing survivors.
The Asuras tried to escape from their deaths in their underground cities, but showers and earthquakes destroyed the shelters and drove the inhabitants back to the surface of the earth. Previously, scientists believed that the “pipes” that operate in our time, coming from caves to the surface of the earth, have a natural origin. In fact, they are made with the help of laser weapons for smoking asuras, hiding in dungeons. These “pipes” have a regular rounded shape, which is unusual for funnels of natural origin (there are many of them in the caves of the Perm region, including in the vicinity of the city of Kungur).
Now it is understandable why thousands of kilometers of tunnels found in the Altai, the Urals, the Tien Shan, the Caucasus, the deserts of the Sahara and the Gobi, and the Americas have been dug all over the planet.
Perhaps, lasers were used not only for smoking asuras. As soon as the laser beam reached the molten underground layer, the magma erupted, forming with time volcanoes of artificial origin.
Those who remained in the dungeon gradually lost their sight (everyone knew the epic about Svyatogor, whose father lived in the dungeon and did not come out to the surface, because he was blind). Descendants of the asuras diminished in size to dwarfs, of which there are many legends. The short-grown creatures have survived to this day, and have not only black, but also white skin (Guinea minigets, Dopa and Kham people, a little more than a meter tall, living in Tibet).
Near to Sterlitamak (a city in Bashkiria) there are two barkhans from mineral substances. Probably, these are the two graves of the asuras; There are a lot of similar graves on Earth. But some asuras have survived to the present day. The commission on anomalous phenomena in the 1970s reported of meetings with giants growing from a 40-story building. The steps of these titans were accompanied by a strong roar, and their feet fell deep into the ground.
As for life under the earth, it is possible. According to geologists, there is more water under the earth than in the whole World Ocean, underground seas, lakes and rivers are found there. Scientists have suggested that the waters of the World Ocean are associated with the underground, and not only the water cycle between them, but also the exchange of biological species. To the underground biosphere was self-sufficient, there must be plants that release oxygen and decompose carbon dioxide. But photosynthesis, it turns out, can also occur in total darkness, it is enough just to pass through the earth a weak electric current of a certain frequency. In places where heat was released to the surface of the Earth, forms of thermal life were found that do not need light. Perhaps, they can be both unicellular and multicellular, and even reach a high level of development.
The appearance of dinosaurs on the Earth (for example, the Loch Ness monster) suggests that the creatures living under the Earth sometimes come to the surface “get caught”. Many floating beings of the times of the Asuric biosphere may have found salvation under the earth. Reports of dinosaurs appearing in the oceans, seas and lakes are testimonies of creatures that have penetrated from the dungeon, who have found a refuge there.
According to the Vedas, the asuras were large and strong, but they were killed by credulity and simple-mindedness. The gods, through deception, defeated the asuras and drove them underground and to the bottom of the oceans. The pyramids scattered all over the planet (in Egypt, Mexico, Tibet, India) indicate that the culture was one, and the earthlings had no basis for war between themselves. Those whom the Vedas call gods came from heaven, they are aliens from outer space, and the nuclear conflict was most likely cosmic.
Lost Continent? Scientists Find Parts Of North America In Australia
Lost Continent? Scientists Find Parts Of North America In Australia
Georgetown, in northern Queensland (Australia), was once part of North America say, researchers.
That is what seems to suggest the finding and subsequent study of a series of rocks and fossils in the area.
If so, it would mean that Australia was connected to Canada about 1.7 billion years ago.
The idea that the two continents were once connected is not surprising.
Such Speculations have existed since the late 1970s, when scientists proposed that this connection dated back to the continent of Rodinia, about 1.13 billion years ago.
However, and even under that theory, a date was missing.
The findings in Georgetown, a small town in northeastern Australia, now seem to be a boost to that theory.
The rocks found in Georgetown are different from all other rocks on the Australian continent.
However, they show enormous similarities to ancient rocks found in Canada, in the exposed section of the continental crust called the Canadian Shield.
An unexpected finding, according to researchers at Curtin University, Monash University and the Queensland Geological Survey in Australia, which reveals something about the composition of the ancient supercontinent Nuna.
According to Adam Nordsvan, principal investigator: “Our research shows that about 1,700 million years ago, Georgetown rocks were deposited in shallow water when the region was part of North America. Georgetown separated from North America and collided with the Mount Isa region in northern Australia some 100 million years later. This was a fundamental part of the global, continental reorganization when almost all the continents on Earth came together to form the supercontinent called Nuna.”
The last time the continents were close to each other was the great supercontinent known as Pangea, which split about 175 million years ago.
However, before Pangea, the planet went through several configurations of supercontinents, one of which was Nuna, also called Columbia, which existed about 2,500 million to 1,500 million years ago.
The team of researchers came to this conclusion after examining sedimentological data, and new existing geochronological data from Georgetown and Mount Isa, another remote city in northeastern Australia, and comparing everything to rocks from Canada.
“Ongoing research by our team shows that this mountain belt, in contrast to the Himalayas, would not have been very high, suggesting the final continental assembling process that led to the formation of the supercontinent Nuna was not a hard collision like India’s recent collision with Asia,” said co-author Zheng-Xiang Li.
“This new finding is a key step in understanding how Earth’s first supercontinent Nuna may have formed, a subject still being pursued by our multidisciplinary team here at Curtin University.”
The research has been published in the journalGeology.
RECIPE FOR DISASTER Despite the lab mouse’s much greater weight, chemistry gives this centipede the decisive advantage.
Knocking out an animal 15 times your size — no problem. A newly identified toxin in the venom of a tropical centipede helps the insect overpower giant prey in about 30 seconds.
Insight into how this venom overwhelms lab mice could lead to an antidote for people who suffer excruciatingly painful, reportedly even fatal, centipede bites, an international research team reports the week of January 22 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In Hawaii, centipede bites account for about 400 emergency room visits a year, according to data from 2004 to 2008. The main threat there is Scolopendra subspinipes,an agile species almost as long as a human hand.
The subspecies S.subspinipesmutilans starred in studies at the Kunming Institute of Zoology in China and collaborating labs. Researchers there found a small peptide, now named “spooky toxin,” largely responsible for venom misery.
This toxin blocks a molecular channel that normally lets potassium flow through cell membranes. A huge amount of the biochemistry of staying alive involves potassium, so clogging some of what are called KCNQ channels caused mayhem in mice: slow and gasping breath, high blood pressure, frizzling nerve dysfunctions and so on. Administering the epilepsy drug retigabine opened the potassium channels and counteracted much of the toxin’s effects, raising hopes of a treatment for these bites.
DUSTUP A dust storm (right) captured by the Mars Global Surveyor in 2001 swirls over much of the Red Planet. These storms are helping hydrogen from water vapor escape from the Red Planet, a new study finds.
Storms of powdery Martian soil are contributing to the loss of the planet’s remaining water.
This newly proposed mechanism for water loss, reported January 22 in Nature Astronomy, might also hint at how Mars originally became dehydrated. Researchers used over a decade of imaging data taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to investigate the composition of the Red Planet’s frequent dust storms, some of which are vast enough to circle the planet for months.
During one massive dust storm in 2006 and 2007, signs of water vapor were found at unusually high altitudes in the atmosphere, nearly 80 kilometers up. That water vapor rose within “rocket dust storms” — storms with rapid vertical movement — on convection currents similar to those in some storm clouds on Earth, says study coauthor Nicholas Heavens, an astronomer at Hampton University in Virginia.
At altitudes above 50 kilometers, ultraviolet light from the sun easily penetrates the Red Planet’s thin atmosphere and breaks down water’s chemical bonds between hydrogen and oxygen. Left to its own devices, hydrogen slips free into space, leaving the planet with less of a vital ingredient for water.
“Because it’s so light, hydrogen is lost relatively easily on Mars,” Heavens says. “Hydrogen loss is measurable from Earth, too, but we have so much water that it’s not a big deal.”
Previous studies have indicated that Mars, which was once covered in an ocean about 100 meters deep, lost the bulk of its water through hydrogen escape (SN Online: 10/15/14). But this is the first study to identify dust storms as a mechanism for helping the gas break away. The total effect of all dust storms could account for about 10 percent of Mars’ current hydrogen loss, Heavens says.
Whether that was true in the past is up in the air. Extrapolating back a billion years ago, when Mars was warm and wet, isn’t so easy. Scientists don’t know how dust storms would have worked in a wetter climate or a thicker atmosphere.
“Variations over weeks or months don't really tell you anything about the 1,000-year timescale that governs hydrogen,” notes Kevin Zahnle, an astronomer at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., who was not involved in the study.
But Zahnle, an expert on atmospheric escape of gases, agrees with the main thrust of the study: Right now, dust storms are helping to bleed Mars dry.
How we can transform Mars into a habitable planet.
HIT THE GAS Jets from supermassive black holes, like the one shown in this artist’s illustration, could be ultimately responsible for three different types of enigmatic high-energy particles.
It’s three for the price of one. A trio of mysterious high-energy particles could all have the same source: active black holes embedded in galaxy clusters, researchers suggest January 22 in Nature Physics.
Scientists have been unable to figure out the origins of the three types of particles — gamma rays that give a background glow to the universe, cosmic neutrinos and ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. Each carries a huge amount of energy, from about a billion electron volts for a gamma ray to 100 billion billion electron volts for some cosmic rays.
Strangely, each particle type seems to contribute the same total amount of energy to the universe as the other two. That’s a clue that all three may be powered by the same engine, says physicist Kohta Murase of Penn State.
“We can explain the data of these three messengers with one single picture,” Murase says.
First, a black hole accelerates charged particles to extreme energies in a powerful jet (SN: 9/16/17, p. 16). These jets “are one of the most promising candidate sources of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays,” Murase says. The most energetic cosmic rays escape the jet and immediately plow through a sea of magnetized gas within the galaxy cluster.
Some rays escape the gas as well and zip towards Earth. But less energetic rays are trapped in the cluster for up to a billion years. There, they interact with the gas and create high-energy neutrinos that then escape the cluster.
Meanwhile, the cosmic rays that escaped travel through intergalactic space and interact with photons to produce the glow of gamma rays.
Murase and astrophysicist Ke Fang of the University of Maryland in College Park found that computer simulations of this scenario lined up with observations of how many cosmic rays, neutrinos and gamma rays reached Earth.
“It’s a nice piece of unification of many ideas,” says physicist Francis Halzen of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica, where the highest energy neutrinos have been observed.
There are other possible sources for the particles — for one, IceCube has already traced an especially high-energy neutrino to a single active black hole that may not be in a cluster (SN Online: 4/7/16). The observatory could eventually trace neutrinos back to galaxy clusters. “That’s the ultimate test,” Halzen says. “This could be tomorrow, could be God knows when.”
Star Trek-Style Acoustic Tractor Beam Paves Way For Human Levitation
Star Trek-Style Acoustic Tractor Beam Paves Way For Human Levitation
Engineers from the University of Bristol have shown that it is possible to levitate objects which are larger than the wavelength of sound.
Scientists have managed to levitate objects that were much larger when what we’ve ever achieved before, and the new technology paves the way for human levitation.
In 2015, Nature Communications published an article in which it reported the construction of the first sonic tractor beam in the world, capable of lifting and moving objects through the use of sound waves.
Using these sound waves, an acoustic hologram is generated which in turn allows for the movement of the small objects.
Acoustic tractor beams use sound, or better-said soundwaves, to hold—levitate—particles in mid-air.
The discovery made in 2015 opened the possibility of developing a sonic production line to transport objects and assemble them, without touching them.
Scientists thought beyond transporting objects and went further proposing that this technology could also be used in medicine, allowing doctors and surgeons to transport drug capsules and even surgical instruments inside living tissues.
Now, a recent study extends this discovery considerably: engineers at the University of Bristol have shown that it is possible to levitate objects which are larger than the wavelength of sound.
This discovery not only expands the possibility of manipulating drug capsules or microsurgical instruments within the human body, but it also allows the transportation of larger and more delicate objects without a container.
It could even lead to the levitation of human beings, according to a statement from the scientific team behind the discovery.
It was previously thought that acoustic tractor beams were limited to levitating only small objects; only those approximately the same size as a wavelength of the sound. Scientists believed that it was nearly impossible to levitate objects of a greater size without losing stability, causing the objects to spin uncontrollably.
However, engineers from the University of Bristol describe a new technique, to be published in Physical Review Letters.
Using a tornado-like structure that is extremely loud but has a silent core, scientists found that when changing the direction of the rapidly fluctuating acoustic vortices that make up this structure, they were able to control the rate of rotation and stabilize the tractor beam.
Dr. Asier Marzo, the lead author on the paper from Bristol’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, said that “Acoustic researchers had been frustrated by the size limit for years, so its satisfying to find a way to overcome it.”
In the new study, scientists used waves at a pitch of 40kHz and create the acoustic vortices. As noted by experts, the structure’s silent core managed to hold in position a two-centimeter sphere made out of synthetic polymer. This is revolutionary as the sphere is two times the site of the acoustic wavelengths, which means that it is currently the largest object that has been usefully and stably held in a tractor beam.
Here’s The Radio Transmission of Astronaut John Glenn, after dozens of UFOs surround him in space
Here’s The Radio Transmission of Astronaut John Glenn, after dozens of UFOs surround him in space
“They’re all over the sky…”
This is Friendship Seven. I’ll try to describe what I’m in here. I am in a big mass of some very small particles, that are brilliantly lit up like they’re luminescent. I never saw anything like it. They round a little; they’re coming by the capsule, and they look like little stars. A whole shower of them coming by.
Check out this amazing audio file where we can hear the amazement of Astronaut John Glenn after his capsule is surrounded by countless, strange UFOs.
This audio transmission can easily be described as one of the most amazing pieces of evidence of a mysterious extraterrestrial presence during manned missions to space.
This old audio file lets you listen into a small part of the conversation between the Mercury-Atlas 6 (MA-6) capsule piloted by John Glenn and CAPCOM, on the 20th of February, 1962, the first manned orbital mission of the United States.
Launched from Kennedy Space Center, Fla., he completed a successful three-orbit mission around the earth, reaching a maximum altitude (apogee) of approximately 162 statute miles and an orbital velocity of approximately 17,500 miles per hour. Glenn’s “Friendship 7” Mercury spacecraft landed approximately 800 miles southeast of KSC in the vicinity of Grand Turk Island. Mission duration from launch to impact was 4 hours, 55 minutes, and 23 seconds.
Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr., pilot of the Mercury-Atlas 6 (MA-6) spaceflight, poses for a photo with the Mercury “Friendship 7” spacecraft.

In the audio file, Mr. Glenn referred to his capsule as Friendship 7 and can be heard describing seeing a “brilliant blue horizon” coming up behind him as it approaches sunrise.
Then, he suddenly realizes something peculiar is happening all around him, as he is ‘intercepted’ by countless UFOs which engulfed his capsule.
Here is the transcript of the event:
John Glenn: This is Friendship Seven. It’s blinding through the scope on clear. It’s started up just as I gave you that mark; I’m going to the dark filter to watch it come on up.
CAPCOM: Roger.
John Glenn: This is Friendship Seven. I’ll try to describe what I’m in here. I am in a big mass of some very small particles, that are brilliantly lit up like they’re luminescent. I never saw anything like it. They round a little; they’re coming by the capsule, and they look like little stars. A whole shower of them coming by.
John Glenn: They swirl around the capsule and go in front of the window and they’re all brilliantly lighted. They probably average maybe 7 or 8 feet apart, but I can see them all down below me, also.
Intrigued by the events, CAPCOM asked Glenn to describe the objects, and whether they were impacting his spacecraft.
CAPCOM: Roger, Friendship Seven. Can you hear any impact with the capsule? Over.
John Glenn: Negative, negative. They’re very slow; they’re not going away from me more than maybe 3 or 4 miles per hour. They’re going at the same speed I am approximately. They’re only very slightly under my speed. Over.
John Glenn: They do, they do have a different motion, though, from me because they swirl around the capsule and then depart back the way I am looking.
John Glenn: Are you receiving? Over.
John Glenn:There are literally thousands of them.
After having described the objects Glenn gets no response from CAPCOM and asks if he is in contact with anyone while continuing to discuss the strange objects around his spacecraft.
John Glenn: This is Friendship Seven. Am I in contact with anyone? Over.
Eventually, nearly five minutes after describing the events, CAPCOM responds, saying that Glenn sounded a little “garbled”, and is asked what his oxygen levels were.
Strangely, CAPCOM did not address the strange events with Glenn, who explains that the mystery particles are still around the spacecraft.
After realizing CAPCOM is not answering Glenn decided to photograph the mystery objects.
Then, he is asked by CAPCOM how big the particles were and whether they moved by or floated with him.
CAPCOM suggested that the particles may have come from the spacecraft, but Mr. Glenn said this was not the case.
Curiously, after Friendship seven’s successful orbit, another astronaut on board the Aurora 7 capsule, Scott Carpenter, also saw the mystery objects in space.
NASA scientists eventually looked into the mystery sighing and concluded that the objects seen in space were just ice particles caught by sunlight.
NASA claimed that ice had accumulated on the outside of the capsule and that what the two astronauts saw were free-floating Ice particles.
However, Mr. Glenn wasn’t convinced by the explanation. During his second orbit, he reported seeing the objects again for miles in each direction.
Interdimensional beings, Aliens From “Dimensions” That Coexist Alongside Our Own?
Interdimensional beings, Aliens From “Dimensions” That Coexist Alongside Our Own?
The definition for interdimensional beings or interdimensional intelligence is usually described as a theoretical or ‘real’ entity that exists in a dimension beyond our own.
Despite the fact that such beings are believed to exist only in science fiction, fantasy and the supernatural, there are numerous Ufologists who refer to them as real beings.
The Interdimensional Hypothesis
The interdimensional hypothesis was proposed by a number of Ufologists like Jacques Vallée who suggests that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and related events (such as alien sightings) imply visits from beings from other “realities” or “dimensions” that coexist separately with ours. Some have referred to these beings as visitors from another universe.
In other words, Vallée and other authors suggest that aliens are real but exist not in our dimension, but in another reality, that coexists with our own.
This theory is an alternative to the extraterrestrial hypothesis which suggests that aliens are advanced spacefaring beings that exist in our universe.
The interdimensional hypothesis argues that UFOs are a modern manifestation of a phenomenon that has occurred throughout recorded human history, which in earlier times was attributed to mythological or supernatural creatures—Ancient Astronaut theory.
What if Aliens are travelers from another dimension? Does that mean we are alone in the universe after all?

But despite the fact that modern Ufologists and millions of people around the globe believe we are not alone in this universe, many ufologists and paranormal researchers have embraced the interdimensional Hypothesis, suggesting that it explains the Alien theory in a much smoother way.
Paranormal investigator Brad Steiger wrote that “we are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon that is largely originating from planet Earth.”
Other ufologists, such as John Ankerberg and John Weldon, who also favor the interdimensional hypothesis argue that UFO sightings fit in the spiritualist phenomenon.
Commenting on the disparity between the Extraterrestrial hypothesis and the reports that people have made of UFO encounters, Ankerberg and Weldon wrote that “the UFO phenomenon simply does not behave like extraterrestrial visitors.”
This Interdimensional Hypothesis took a step further in the book UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse published in 1970, where author John Keel linked UFOs to supernatural concepts such as ghosts and demons.
Some advocates of the extraterrestrial theory have embraced some of the ideas set forth by the Interdimensional Hypothesisbecause it does a better job explaining how ‘aliens’ could travel in space across vast distances.
The distance between the stars makes interstellar travel impractical using conventional means and since no one has demonstrated an antigravity engine or any other machine that would allow a traveler to move across the cosmos at speed faster than light, the Interdimensional Hypothesis makes much more sense.
Are aliens, in fact, interdimensional travelers?

According to this theory, is not necessary to use any method of propulsion because it maintains that UFOs are not spacecraft, but devices that travel between different realities. However, they still need to get from one reality to the other, right?
One of the benefits of the Interdimensional Hypothesis according to Hilary Evans—a British pictorial archivist, author, and researcher into UFOs and other paranormal phenomena—is that it can explain the apparent ability of UFOs to appear and disappear, not only from sight but from radar; as the interdimensional UFO’s can enter and leave our dimension at will, meaning they have the ability to materialize and dematerialize.
On the other hand, Evans argues that if the other dimension is slightly more advanced than ours, or is perhaps our own future, this would explain the tendency of UFOs to represent technologies close to the future.
Declassified FBI document—beings from other dimensions exist
While all of the above may sound like something coming from a sci-fi movie, there is a peculiar declassified top-secret document in the FBI archives which speaks of interdimensional beings, and how their ‘spacecraft’ have the ability to materialize and dematerialize in our own dimension.
Here is a transcript of some of the most important details of the report:
Part of the disks carry crews; others are under remote control
Their mission is peaceful. The visitors contemplate settling on this plane
These visitors are human-like but much larger in size
They are not excarnate Earth people but come from their own world
They do NOT come from a planet as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us
The bodies of the visitors, and the craft, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter
The disks possess a type of radiant energy or a ray, which will easily disintegrate any attacking ship. They reenter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without trace
The region from which they come is not the “astral plane,” but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas. Students of osoteric matters will understand these terms.
They probably cannot be reached by radio, but probably can be by radar. if a signal system can be devised for that (apparatus)

Triangle-shaped formation recorded over Morrison, Colorado 17-Jan-2018
Here’s one new footage of a triangular formation hovering in the sky above Morrison in Colorado. Filmed on 17th January 2018.
Witness report:
A triangular set of three lights were observed for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute before vanishing. They were captured on video. They appeared to remain motionless.
