Pentagon UFO: Claim 'alien disclosure a false flag to induce MARTIAL LAW’
Pentagon UFO: Claim 'alien disclosure a false flag to induce MARTIAL LAW’
THE world headline-grabbing release of a video of a seemingly inexplicable UFO by the US Pentagon may have been part of a cunning plan to bring in martial law, according to alien conspiracy theorists.
UFO truth seekers celebrated an historic milestone last month after it emerged the Department of Defense had run a top secret unit investigating the threat posed by UFOs until 2012.
Footage filmed by a US Navy pilot of an apparent UFO said to "defy the laws of physics", which was investigated by the department, was also released, leading to claims from some that "we are not alone”.
The footage was from the "Nimitz UFO" incident off the coast of San Diego in November 2004, when a whole naval crew are said to have seen a series of bizarre white tic tac-shaped crafts.
However, some in the UFO community remain suspicious at the motives of the government behind the release of the information.
Alien truth have called for "disclosure" - the release of all alien and UFO-related files to be released.
And many saw last month's revelations as a stepping stone towards this.
Former US military insoder Chris Mellon reveals the Pentagon UFO files.
A frequently voiced suspicion was that the government might be laying the groundwork to present extraterrestrials as the next threat to national security, requiring further increases in military spending and curtailments of civil liberties."

Many believe that aliens, not only exist, but are secretly living in bases on earth and the US government covers it up in return for flying saucer technology.
However, some members of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) remain suspicious.
MUFON is the world's largest organisation dedicated to UFO research and holds a global database of UFO sightings reported to it.
A theory was raised at the latest meeting of the MUFON Washington branch on Saturday.
Ptleader.com reported: "Those who attended were far from feeling credulous or validated by the New York Times’ coverage, and instead expressed concerns that this seeming bombshell of disclosure might merely represent an even deeper conspiracy by the government.
"They freely exchanged theories about the possible nature of UFOs, as well as what might motivate the mainstream press and government to release such a story.
"A frequently voiced suspicion was that the government might be laying the groundwork to present extraterrestrials as the next threat to national security, requiring further increases in military spending and curtailments of civil liberties."
Martial law is the introduction of direct military control of civilian functions of government, especially in response to a temporary emergency such as invasion or major disaster, or in an occupied territory.
It can be used by governments to enforce their rule over the public.
One woman at the talks said the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II was an "example of how such fears of aliens have been used against the populace”.
A retired MUFON military member said: "The powers that be are so far removed from the rest of us that they think the United States would fall apart if we disclosed that these things exist, and that they’ve been here for years.
“The only people who would really have to worry would be the power elites in politics and religion.”
Famous US UFO campaigner Dr Steven Greer tweeted in response to last month's news: "Note that the recent NY Times story is couched from a threat office of the Pentagon.
"This a clear ramp up to False Flag FAKE disclosure designed to prepare people for a threat from outer space- so the War Mongers and War Profiteers have a new , bigger enemy. BEWARE."
However, Al Thompson, a field investigator for the branch called for less focus on unconfirmed conspiracy theories.
He said: “Why do we need conspiracy theories? Because the answers are unknown. We’re operating in a vacuum, because the government isn’t telling us anything, but even if they did, we wouldn’t necessarily believe them.
"That being said, no one came here because we believe that any one of us has the definitive answer.”
Physicists from Brigham Young Univeristy may have just created the best technology for projecting 3D images, but they're not calling these images a hologram. It's still in its earliest stages, but once perfected, its applications could be varied.
NOT A HOLOGRAM
For many sci-fi fans, a truly working hologram is Princess Leia asking Obi Wan Kenobi for help. While that’s clearly science fiction, a projected image that one can observe from all angles may have just become the only hope for authentic 3D projections.
This is the subject of a new study published in the journal Nature, detailing how a team of physicists led by Daniel Smalley from the Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, have managed to project moving 3D images viewable at any angle.
Smalley doesn’t call it a hologram, however. “This is doing something that a hologram can never do — giving you an all-round view, a Princess Leia-style display — because it’s not a hologram,” he told Nature News. An actual hologram, as it exists today, is an image projection coming from a source limited to a particular angle. It can’t be viewed perfectly from all sides.
What Smalley’s team developed is a technique they call volumetric display, where a single particle of a plant fiber called cellulose is trapped and heated evenly using forces from near-invisible laser beams. To illuminate the particle as it moves through space, pushed and pulled by the beams forces, a second set of lasers project visible light onto it.
As the name suggests, the projected image appears to have more volume to it, without the need for headgears or other such devices. “In simple terms, we’re using a laser beam to trap a particle, and then we can steer the laser beam around to move the particle and create the image,” undergrad coauthor Erich Nygaard explained in a BYU press release.
3D PROJECTIONS
The extent of how the technique works is still limited to smaller images. Because of the limited way human eyes can see images, when the particles move faster than a rate of 10 per second, what’s seen is a solid line. This can be made to appear like it’s moving by changing the images even faster. Smalley’s team successfully demonstrated it by projecting the static outline of a butterfly, as well as a moving spiral line drawing. Larger images can also be projected if they are still, or moving slowly.

Admittedly, the technology is still in its very early stages, despite having borrowed from and improved on other similar 3D projections’ systems. For instance, to make more realistic images, Smalley’s team will need to figure out a way to make the particles move faster. “If we make as much progress in the next four years as we made in the last, I think we will be successful making a display of useful size,” Smalley told Nature.
Holography and other 3D-projection technologies are new, and as such their applications are still rather limited. One can imagine how volumetric display — once perfected — could potentially be used to improve entertainment and gaming in the same way virtual and augmented reality devices are trying to do. It could also be used in military training exercises, to simulate battles scenes in 3D.
And perhaps it could be used to send messages across a galaxy far, far away. As Smalley pointed out: “We’re providing a method to make a volumetric image that can create the images we imagine we’ll have in the future.”

NASA's GOLD Instrument, SES-14 Satellite on Track After Launch Anomaly
NASA's GOLD Instrument, SES-14 Satellite on Track After Launch Anomaly
By Sarah Lewin, Space.com Associate Editor
The SES-14 communications satellite, shown here in an artist's illustration, successfully deployed after its launch on an Ariane 5 rocket on Jan. 25, 2018, despite Arianespace losing contact with the rocket's second stage. NASA's atmosphere-watching GOLD mission is flying along with SES-14.

The satellite company SES confirmed that its SES-14 communications satellite, which hosts an upper-atmosphere-observation mission from NASA, will be able to reach its final orbit just four weeks late after a launch anomaly saw the rocket lose contact with Earth last night (Jan. 26).
Although Arianespace was unable to communicate with the Ariane 5 second stage carrying SES-14 and another satellite, Al Yah 3, into orbit, the satellites were still successfully released — and each got in contact with its respective control center, Arianespace representatives said. The Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) instrument was NASA's first-ever science mission to fly as a hosted payload on a commercial satellite, NASA researchers have said.
SES representatives said in a statement today that the company is now setting up a new orbit-raising plan, which will take SES-14 and GOLD to their final orbit four weeks after this was scheduled to happen; the satellite was slated to take four and a half weeks to maneuver into its high orbit using electric propulsion.
Once they reach its final geostationary orbit, SES-14 and GOLD will remain in position above one spot on Earth as they circle and the planet turns. This will let SES-14 support communications for Latin America, the Caribbean, North America and the North Atlantic region, SES said, and it will give GOLD an ideal vantage point to monitor the rapid flux of the upper atmosphere at the border between Earth and space.
"SES confirms that the spacecraft is in good health, all subsystems on board are nominal and the satellite is expected to meet the designed lifetime," SES representatives said.

Strange Mysteries and Unexplained Stuff | Discover the mysteries of the world .
In a place you would hardly expect, just one hour north of New York City, lies the site of one of the most widely observed and yet most unexplainable set of UFO sightings ever seen. The place is the Hudson Valley, and the story of its strange UFO started on New Years Eve, 1982.
The Hudson UFO mystery
A few minutes before midnight, a retired police officer was out in his backyard in Kent, New York when he observed a group of strange lights off to the south. They were colored red, green and white. At first the former officer thought they belonged to a jet aircraft in trouble, but as the object passed over his house at a height he estimated to be about 500 feet, he realized it was moving much too slowly for a jet and made too little noise. Just a distant humming sound. As he watched, he decided the the lights, which appeared as a “V” shape, were connected by a dark, triangular fuselage.
What the former officer had seen would be observed many times in the Hudson Valley area over the next few years by hundreds of different witnesses: A “V” shaped set of multicolored lights moving slowly and silently across the sky. On March 26th, 1983, a front-page story in the Westchester-Rockland Daily Item proclaimed:
HUNDREDS CLAIM TO HAVE SEEN UFO
The article, which told of sightings of a triangular UFO on Marth 24th, got the attention of a group of UFO researchers in the Valley associated with Dr. J Allen Hynek, founder of the Center for UFO Studies. The group started an investigation of the phenomena which was later documented as a book, Night Siege: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings, authored by Dr. Hynek and Philip J. Imbrogno, with the help of Bob Pratt.
The group opened up a UFO hotline and received over 300 calls from people that had seen the UFO on the night of March 24th alone. One witness cited in the book reported that it had moved up the Taconic Parkway in “sort of a Z pattern.” He described the object as being triangular in shape with thirty to forty colored lights along the back edge. The object, he stated, was huge, “If there is such a thing as a flying city, this was a flying city.”
The object apparently cruised over the community of Yorktown that evening too where the police switchboard became so jammed with reports, officials became concerned that they would be unable to take emergency calls.
On the Taconic parkway people pulled over to watch the object as it moved slowly on its path. One observer estimated it was “as large as an aircraft carrier.”
The UFO researchers estimated that over 5,000 people had seen the object over a period of five years from 1982 through 1986. Often the UFO seemed to glide over large areas causing dozens of sightings in one night. It was never spotted during the day.
Most reports came from people who seemed to be reliable witnesses. As the authors put it “ordinary people who have seen something extraordinary.” The UFO was seen not just over the Hudson Valley, but as far east as New Haven, Connecticut and as far north as Brookfield, Connecticut.
While most reports described the UFO moving at a very slow speed, hovering, or turning slowly like a wheel, a few reports described the object as suddenly zooming away at fantastic speeds, or just disappearing. In some accounts the shape varied so that the lights appeared as more of a circle than a “V”. Often the color and arrangement of the lights changed as the viewers watched. In a few cases reports arrived that put the object at two distant locations at the same time suggesting there might be more than one of them.
One of the most striking reports that the group gathered was from guards at the Indian Point Nuclear Plant. The UFO apparently hovered over an active nuclear reactor for some minutes coming as close to the reactor dome as thirty feet. The security supervisor even considered ordering guards to shoot it down. One guard described it as being the length of three football fields.
Strange things
The object also seemed to be interested in bodies of water. One observer watched the UFO over Croton Falls Reservoir where it seemed to use a red beam to probe the surface.
The researchers knew that when investigated most UFO reports turn into reports of IFOs: Identified Flying Objects. Often they turn out to be planes, balloons, satellites, or even the planet Venus. They did find evidence that some of the reports of the “V” shape may have been a group of small planes flying out of the Stormville Airport. The pilots seemed to have been flying their planes in a formation in a deliberate attempt at a UFO hoax.
The plane hoax only cleared up a small number of reports, however. Most observers reported that the lights moved together as a solid object. Others could see the body of the UFO between the lights. None of the observers who had seen both the planes and the object thought they were the same phenomenon.
There are few good explanations for most of the Hudson Valley sightings. The only object that moves slowly through the air and hovers almost silently is a blimp. Researchers contacted all blimp operators in the area and could find no matches between the blimp schedules and the UFO reports. It was widely speculated at the time that object was a formation of ultralight planes. This seems unlikely as the UFO was nearly silent, could hover, and carried tremendously bright lights, all things ultralight aircraft are incapable of doing.
The Hudson Valley UFO remains a mystery even today. If you decide to take a trip to the Hudson Valley to try and see the strange UFO for yourself, you may want to stay at one of the excellent local bed and breakfast Inns. One, the Burlingham Inn, has decided to take advantage of the strange nighttime phenomena by featuring a UFO Bed & Breakfast. They welcome UFO watchers and list UFO sighting as one of the activities for which the Inn is especially well located.
‘Super Blue Blood Moon’ Will Force NASA to Shut Down Lunar Spacecraft Instruments
‘Super Blue Blood Moon’ Will Force NASA to Shut Down Lunar Spacecraft Instruments
The combination of a supermoon, a blue moon, and a full lunar eclipse on January 31 means NASA scientists will temporarily turn off instruments aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Here’s why.
While skywatchers in North America, Asia, and Europe watch a bigger-than-usual lunar eclipse on January 31, NASA engineers will shut down the instruments aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).
Eclipses put a strain on the spacecraft because it uses the sun for power. If the moon is in the Earth's shadow, sunlight can't reach it and LRO switches to batter power, principal investigator Noah Petro told Seeker. The LRO team is a veteran group at keeping the spacecraft safe, as total lunar eclipses have occurred seven times since the orbiter’s launch in 2009.
"We did a small [engine] burn to put us in an as optimal position as possible — to be able to keep the spacecraft in illumination for as long as we could. In other words, we did a small tweak to minimize the time we were in shadow," Petro said. As with past eclipses, the team will also "preheat" the spacecraft before it goes into the eclipse, so it's warmer and there is less strain on the instruments.
While LRO has seen many other eclipses, the eclipse, know as "super blue blood moon eclipse," is a rare combination of several phenomena.
Stages of the January 31, 2018 “super blue blood moon” (weather permitting) are depicted in Pacific Time with “moonset” times for major cities across the US, which affect how much of the event viewers will see. While viewers along the East Coast will see only the initial stages of the eclipse before moonset, those in the West and Hawaii will see most or all of the lunar eclipse phases before dawn. NASA
A "supermoon," occurs when the moon is full and is at its closest approach to Earth in its 29 1/2-day elliptical orbit around the planet. Supermoons are 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than the moon at its furthest distance from Earth, according to NASA.
When two full moons occur in a single month, the second event is called a "blue moon." It has no special astronomical significance, but blue moons are still interesting because they occur only once every 2 1/2 years.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the moon and the sun, and the shadow of Earth falls across the moon's surface. Partial and full eclipses are possible. A full eclipse occurs when the moon is fully covered in shadow — which will happen January 31. The combined light of all of Earth's sunrises and sunsets creates a ruddy glow on the moon's surface. Some people call this the "blood moon."
An illustration of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter NASA
Petro said shut down LRO’s instruments is just an extra precaution to ensure the 8-year-old spacecraft remains safe during the event. During past eclipses, however, LRO continued to collect data.
The spacecraft is designed to take high-resolution pictures of the moon: It's even seen the Apollo landing sites where astronauts undertook moonwalks in the 1960s and 1970s. Other instruments probe lunar ice reserves. LRO data recently helped to identify underground pits of polar ice, which might provide future moon missions with water. And LRO's Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment (DLRE) looks at regolith — aka soil — temperatures.
During a few eclipses, LRO engineers left Diviner on to see what it could find. Normally, the instrument examines temperatures in the top layer of soil — approximately a few tens of centimeters. During an eclipse, however, only the layer just below the surface — about 1 cm to 2 cm — changes temperature rapidly. So eclipses provide a rare opportunity for Diviner to focus its observations on soil just below the surface.
Global map showing areas of the world that will experience (weather permitting) the January 31, 2018 “super blue blood moon.” The eclipse will be visible before sunrise on January 31 for those in North America, Alaska, and Hawaii. For those in the Middle East, Asia, eastern Russia, Australia, and New Zealand, the “super blue blood moon” can be seen during moonrise the morning of the 31st. NASA
Diviner focuses, whenever possible, on the moon’s youngest craters. Investigators are interested in the lumpiness of the regolith: What is the size of grains of soil near the surface, or is the soil rocky or fine-grained soil? Petro said this is important because "it gives us a better understanding of how impacts modify the surface."
That's not only exciting for moon science, but solar system science in general, Petro said. There are all sorts of "airless" bodies around the solar system covered with craters. Examples include the planet Mercury, dwarf planets Ceres and Pluto, and asteroids such as Vesta. Learning about soil grain size on the moon can help scientists better understand how regolith works on these other worlds.
While NASA will shut down Diviner during the eclipse, Petro said the regolith science will continue. He is in talks with two astronomers in Hawaii who will monitor the regolith temperatures from the ground using infrared instruments.
There are seven instruments aboard LRO and they remain in good health, according to Petro. The spacecraft is currently slated to end operations in 2019, but Petro and his team are preparing a proposal to extend LRO's mission by another three years.
Petro said LRO's mission to the moon has already yielded interesting long-term science, such as how often craters appear on the surface. That's why he's an advocate for keeping the mission running as long as possible.
"It's really a new era for studying the moon," Petro said. "With this long baseline of observations, we're able to see how the moon changes."
Jupiter Moon Europa's Possibly Porous Surface Could Doom a Lander
Jupiter Moon Europa's Possibly Porous Surface Could Doom a Lander
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
This enhanced-color view shows a swath of Jupiter’s moon Europa that's 217 miles wide by 466 miles long (350 by 750 kilometers). New research suggests that Europa's surface could be 95 percent porous, meaning a probe might sink if it landed there.

Putting a lander down on Jupiter's potentially life-supporting moon Europacould be even trickier than engineers had thought.
Europa's surface may be extremely porous, so any probe that touches down there might run the risk of sinking into a sort of extraterrestrial quicksand, a new study suggests.
In the lab, study team members measured the reflectance properties of various configurations of aluminum oxide powder — a good analog, they said, for the material on the surface of bright, airless bodies such as Europa, which harbors an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy shell. [Jupiter's Icy Moon Europa in Pictures]
They found that powder composed of very small particles with lots of space between them — material less dense than freshly fallen snow, team members said — shared several key reflectance characteristics with the actual Europan surface.
But the new study is far from the last word on the subject, study team members said.
"Of course, before the landing of the Luna 2 robotic spacecraft in 1959, there was concern that the moon might be covered in low-density dust into which any future astronauts might sink," lead author Robert Nelson, a senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, said in a statement. "However, we must keep in mind that remote visible-wavelength observations of objects like Europa are only probing the outermost microns of the surface."
NASA has Europa in its sights: The agency is developing a flyby mission to the icy moon, which is expected to launch sometime in the 2020s. This probe, known as Europa Clipper, will study the satellite's buried ocean and assess its habitability using a variety of instruments.
Congress has also instructed NASA to get a lander down on Europa. The agency's current thinking calls for launching a surface probe separate from Clipper.
The new study appears in the March 1 issue of the journal Icarus.
Simple math shows how many space aliens may be out there

For those who say you imagine house extraterrestrial beings exist, I doubt your mates will probably be stunned. In a universe aglow with 2 trillion galaxies, you would be supremely conceited to assume that Earth on my own hosts artful creatures. One 2015 ballot confirmed that 54 p.c of American citizens really feel assured that clever extraterrestrial beings are in the market.
Possibly that optimism comes from science fiction. In any case, if there are not any extraterrestrials, there is not a lot of a challenge for the Starship Endeavor or task openings for Vulcans. Fiction apart, many scientists agree that the cosmos is without a doubt sprinkled — in all probability liberally sprinkled — with lifestyles. Even sentient lifestyles.
However are we able to say the rest about that sprinkling? Are we able to danger a bet as to how shut the closest extraterrestrial beings may well be?
That is an unsure trade however no longer a brand new one. In 1961 astronomer Frank Drake devised a easy equation for estimating the collection of “technically energetic” societies in our galaxy. That bit of simple math is referred to as the Drake Equation, and it is frequently stated to be the second one most renowned system in science (the primary being Einstein’s E = mc2).
For those who glance up the system on-line, you’ll be able to see that it takes under consideration the chances that there are liveable planets round different stars, the chance that lifestyles will stand up, and the chance that biology will from time to time evolve to supply artful beings. However even with out wrestling with the Drake Equation, we will use an identical reasoning to gauge the plentitude of alien societies and the way shut the Klingons may well be.
We begin with contemporary analysis appearing that one in six stars hosts a planet hospitable to lifestyles. No, no longer one in 1,000,000. One in six. So let’s take that quantity and run with it. Subsequent we need to make a couple of assumptions. Specifically, if you got 1,000,000 Earth-size worlds, what fraction do you assume would ever beget technically refined population?
Existence on our planet started temporarily: random chemical process in 350 million trillion gallons of ocean water spawned a reproducing molecule inside a couple of hundred million years. So perhaps biology does not want a lot of a goad to get began. I do not believe it is unreasonable to determine that no less than part of all planets appropriate for lifestyles in truth produce it.
Intelligence is much less sure. The dinosaurs have been a excellent design however did not do smartly at school. However let’s assume that one in 100 biology-encrusted planets sooner or later coughs up some considering beings. And, as in step with Frank Drake, let’s additionally think that any Klingons in the market proceed to hang around for 10,000 years sooner than self-destructing (nuclear battle, any person?) or assembly another woeful finish.
Aliens in a mathscape
Similar
Do the mathematics, and you’ll be able to to find that one in 100 million superstar programs has technically adept population. That isn’t a lot other than the fraction of jackpot tickets on this week’s Powerball lottery.
So how shut are the closest signaling extraterrestrials? If we are going to pay excellent cash to fan the flames of the warp power and talk over with some bumpy-headed extraterrestrial beings, how a long way do we need to shuttle? Neatly, the typical distance between stars in our a part of the galaxy is four.2 light-years (the gap to Proxima Centauri). This is, for each and every dice of house that is four.2 light-years on a facet, you’ll be able to to find (on moderate) one superstar. Now consider a larger field, 2,000 light-years on a facet. It’s going to comprise 100 million superstar packing containers, and one refined civilization.
Via this tough and in a position calculation, the closest extraterrestrial beings are most likely between one and two thousand light-years away. In different phrases, no nearer than the 3 vivid stars of Orion’s Belt. Certain, alien neighbors may well be farther — or nearer. However this order-of-magnitude estimate tells us that they are no longer subsequent door. They have not heard our information reviews, and they are probably not to have any incentive to talk over with. They only have no idea we are right here.
Via the way in which, we most likely don’t seem to be going to talk over with them both. Nowadays’s quickest rockets would take no less than 20 million years to get there, during which time you are going to be awfully uninterested in on-board pretzels.
Sure, the extraterrestrial beings are most likely round, and 10,000 societies may just inhabit our galaxy (to not point out the ones different galaxies!) They are no longer shut. However they could also be discoverable. That is why we proceed to go looking the sky for radio alerts introduced into the ether way back through our cosmic brethren.

Triton: Neptune's Odd Moon
Triton: Neptune's Odd Moon
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor

Triton is the largest of Neptune's moons. Discovered in 1846 by British astronomer William Lassell — just weeks after Neptune itself was found — the moon showed some strange characteristics as astronomers learned more about it.
To NASA's knowledge, Triton is the only moon in the solar system that orbits in a direction opposite to the rotation of its planet. Additionally, its surface is a study of contrasts, with smooth plains appearing to be right next to cratered surfaces.
No spacecraft has gone to Neptune since the 1980s, but telescopes are capturing new data on Triton from the ground. A notable recent find was discovering seasons on the moon, using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile.
Renewed interest in Triton began shortly after the New Horizons mission flew past Pluto in 2015. NASA released the best high-resolution map of Triton to date in 2014 in anticipation of the flyby, because it is believed that Triton and Pluto could share a similar history. They are of similar size, have nitrogen in their atmospheres and also icy surfaces.
Discovery and flyby
Triton was found on Oct. 10, 1846, just 17 days after French astronomer Alexis Bouvard discovered Neptune. According to NASA, Triton was known simply as "the satellite of Neptune" until 1949, when a second moon (Nereid) was found. All of Neptune's moons, according to International Astronomical Union guidelines, are named after Roman or Greek mythological characters associated with Neptune, Poseidon or oceans.
Astronomers had to wait well over a century to see Triton as more than a dot, however. In 1977, NASA sent two Voyager probes on a one-way trip through the outer solar system, taking advantage of a rare planetary alignment that allowed them to move from one location to the next without using a lot of fuel. Voyager 2 flew by Neptune and its system on Aug. 25, 1989.
Among the spacecraft's most stunning finds: icy volcanism is likely taking place on Triton's surface. Voyager 2 took pictures of "several geyser-like volcanic vents that were apparently spewing nitrogen gas laced with extremely fine, dark particles," according to NASA. The agency estimates the particles go as high as 5 miles (8 kilometers) before flowing downwind and striking the surface.
It also appears that a large portion of the surface has melted. NASA said the melting was probably due to tidal heating that began when Neptune captured Triton, which could have left the satellite liquid for at least 1 billion years.
Discoveries after Voyager 2
Although no spacecraft will go by Neptune's system in the near future, computer models and higher-resolution telescopes on Earth are providing new information about Triton's history and environment. (NASA has also released new pictures of Triton from Voyager 2 at least as late as 2009.)
In 2010, long-range infrared observations with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope revealed that the thin atmosphere of Triton changes with the seasons. At the time the VLT looked at the planet, it was summer in the southern hemisphere, where the sun's warmth thickened the atmosphere.
This color photo of Neptune's largest moon Triton was obtained by NASA's Voyager 2 probe on Aug. 24, 1989, from 330,000 miles away. The resolution is about 6.2 miles, sufficient to begin to show topographic detail.

New models of Neptune could also provide insights on Triton, such as one released in 2015 that looks at the gas giant's magnetosphere. The magnetic field appears to be particularly pronounced on one side, according to Voyager 2 data and the model, and scientists next want to figure out how this field could interact with Triton.
Other information about Triton's history could come from studying small bodies in the solar system, such as Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The Rosetta spacecraft gathered data that showed molecular nitrogen on the comet's surface in 2015. From that information, scientists are trying to figure out where the nitrogen came from and how it compares to other bodies with nitrogen in the solar system, such as Triton and Pluto.
Astrobiologists are also considering that Triton could have water under its icy surface. "I think it is extremely likely that a subsurface ammonia-rich ocean exists in Triton," said the University of Maryland's Saswata Hier-Majumder in a 2012 Astrobiology Magazine article republished on Space.com. "[But] there are a number of uncertainties in our knowledge of Triton's interior and past, which makes it difficult to predict with absolute certainty."
One example: because no one is quite sure of the size of Triton's rocky core, that creates difficulty with calculating the amount of heating produced by the decay of radioactive isotopes, also known as radiogenic heating. More heating would increase the size of the ocean.
Flinging aside moons
In 2006, a model published in Nature suggested Triton was originally a member of a binary system that orbited the sun. During a close encounter with the planet, Neptune pulled Triton away from its companion. Researchers in 2017 also postulated that Triton was likely a double-object system, similar to dwarf planet Pluto and its large moon, Charon. In the Astronomical Journal, the authors also noted that when Neptune's gravity captured Triton, the secondary body escaped. Triton survived only because Neptune's system was bereft of a large moon. If there had been a moon moving in a normal (forward) orbit around Neptune, its gravitational influence meant Triton instead would have fallen into Neptune.
The authors also said their research showed that Triton played an important role in the formation of Neptune's system. Some models suggest that Neptune used to have other moons orbiting it. Then, when Triton was captured long ago, some of these moons were propelled into the planet and others were thrown out of orbit.
There are some other indications of chaos in Neptune's system, including the outlying moon Nereid. The moon has an extremely stretched-out orbit around Neptune and takes 360 Earth-days to make a single orbit. In addition, some of these smaller moons around Neptune may have been absorbed into Triton itself. "If we want to look for the primordial Neptunian satellites, my best guess would be to look inside Triton," lead author Raluca Rufu, a doctoral student at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, told Space.com by email in December 2017.

UFO MOEDERSCHIP CLOAK GAAT MIS EN WORDT ONTDEKT ( VIDEO )
UFO's en dan vooral de grotere moederschepen weten zich vaak uitstekend te verbergen in grote wolken zodat niemand merkt dat ze aanwezig zijn.
Soms gaat het mis en verliezen ze even tijdelijk hun dekking, zoals dit gebeurde in Jamaica.
Voor het gros van de mensheid klinkt het nog altijd ongelooflijk dat grote (buitenaarde) ruimteschepen zich op aarde bevinden, vaak pal onder onze neus, zonder dat iemand iets ziet.
Normaal zie je ze niet omdat ze eruit zien als wolken en dan ook vaak in een heldere lucht waar op dat moment helemaal geen wolken thuis horen. Maar, soms gaat het mis, zoals enkele dagen geleden in Jamaica, toen de zon achter een wolk ervoor zorgde dat een groot moederschip even heel duidelijk zichtbaar werd. Het schijnt dat bij bepaalde momenten op de dag (zonsopkomst en -ondergang) de condities het beste zijn om zich te verbergen/cloaken en bij afwijkende omstandigheden, zoals waarchijnlijkonverwacht in Jamaica, is dat een stuk lastiger.
Als je wat verder inzoomt op het object dan zie je duidelijk de solide contouren van een een cloaked ruimteschip. Met de beste wil van de wereld is dit niet te verklaren als onderdeel van een wolk.
De volgende korte video-opname van deze gebeurtenis werd op 25 januari 2018 gemaakt boven St. Ann op Jamaica.

Watch: 5000-year-old Artifacts discovered in Mexico cave confirm presence of alien life (Video+)
Alien enthusiasts have spotted spooky artifacts and weird sculptures near a mysterious cave in Mexico. According to reports, the artifacts are nearly 5000 years old. Some sculptures have abnormally large eyes and protruding head that do not represent any species ever lived on Earth.
Alien life and UFO sightings were the buzz words in the year 2017 and the trend isn’t cooling down in the year 2018 as alien hunters have come yet another evidence to prove the existence of extraterrestrial life. Unlike previous claims that suggest aliens live on distant planets, the new theory proves that alien creature visited earth in the past.
Alien enthusiasts have spotted spooky artifacts and weird sculptures near a mysterious cave in Mexico. According to reports, the artifacts are nearly 5000 years old. Some sculptures have abnormally large eyes and protruding head that do not represent any species ever lived on Earth. Conspiracy theorists believe that these strange artifacts belong to aliens that visited Earth several thousand years ago; either alien made these artifacts and sculptures during their stay on our planet or humans made them as a evidence of aliens.
Youtuber UFOmania has also made a video that shows different sculptures and artifacts unearthed in Mexico. The stunning video soon went viral on social media receiving thousands of views and shares. After the release of the video, alien buffs are convinced that extraterrestrial creatures once roamed on earth.
“Incredible evidentiary support of the fact that extraterrestrials have been engaging the human race for a very long time!” posted a user named Jamie Campeau.
Another user named Nelio Anderson lashed out against the authorities for not learning more about these artifacts as they contradict with the established theories.
“It is disgusting how the scientific community refuses to look at any evidence that contradicts the established theory. They claim to be scientists but based on their notorious record of making out of place artifacts vanish it is clear that there is a political agenda present. A knowledge filter. As such it is not surprising to see the establishment attack archeologists/anthropologists/paleontologist and geologists who had the courage and unbiased views to publish these finds,” posted Nelio Anderson.
Wetenschappers ontdekken waarom gletsjers Groenland smelten. De reden is niet wat je zou denken
Wetenschappers ontdekken waarom gletsjers Groenland smelten. De reden is niet wat je zou denken
Onderzoekers hebben voor het eerst aangetoond dat gletsjers op Groenland smelten als gevolg van warmte die uit het binnenste van de aarde ontsnapt.
Door deze warmte uit de aarde beginnen de gletsjers langzaam maar zeker richting de zee te glijden.
“In het noordoosten van Groenland bevinden zich verschillende geisers waar het water temperaturen van 60 graden Celsius bereikt,” zei hoofdonderzoeker Soren Rysgaard van de Universiteit van Aarhus in Denemarken.
Glijden
“Er is veel ondergrondse geothermische activiteit in het gebied,” voegde hij toe.
Op het moment dat warmte vrijkomt onder een fjord, bereikt die warmte ook de onderste delen van de gletsjers.
Dit betekent dat de gletsjers van onderen smelten en dus gemakkelijker over het terrein glijden terwijl ze zich richting de zee verplaatsen.
Geen twijfel
“Er is geen twijfel over mogelijk dat de warmte uit het binnenste van de aarde de verplaatsing van het ijs beïnvloedt,” zei professor Rysgaard.
“We denken dat onder een groot deel van de ijskap in het noordoosten van Groenland warmte uit de aarde ontsnapt,” vervolgde hij.
Het onderzoek is verschenen in het gerenommeerde blad Scientific Reports.
Record
Afgelopen jaar werden in de zomer boven westelijk Groenland temperaturen tot -36 graden Celsius gemeten. Op de Groenlandse ijskap werd in juli een temperatuur van -33 graden gemeten.
“Niet eerder was het in juli in Groenland zo koud!” schreef weerman Jan Visser toen. “Het record stond op -30,7 graden in 1982.”
De hoeveelheden sneeuw waren al sinds het najaar van 2016 ruimschoots boven normaal, voegde hij toe.
NA TERUGTREKKENDE OCEANEN, NU VLOEDGOLVEN ZONDER REDEN ( VIDEO )
NA TERUGTREKKENDE OCEANEN, NU VLOEDGOLVEN ZONDER REDEN ( VIDEO )
Uit de praktijk is bekend dat oceanen zich vlak voor een tsunami ver terugtrekken, maar nu gebeurt dit zonder dat die vloedgolf volgt.
Tsunami's zijn enorme vloedgolven en deze doen zich nu volkomen onverwacht voor zonder dat er een aanleiding voor is zoals bijvoorbeeld een aardbeving.
Het is nog steeds hetzelfde verhaal waar we iedere keer tegenaan lopen. Er gebeurt ergens iets op deze wereld, men bericht erover en dat wat er gebeurt, wordt beschouwd als een op zichzelf staand incident.
Het is pas wanneer je een aantal zaken met elkaar in verband brengt, dat er zorgwekkende patronen ontstaan waaruit blijkt dat er grote onzichtbare krachten werkzaam zijn op deze aarde. Er gebeuren op dit moment verschillende dingen waar niemand een verklaring voor heeft, want de normale logica die in dit soort situaties altijd wordt toegepast, werkt niet langer.
Enkele dagen geleden gebeurde het volgende in Mexico:
Shannon Christensen was met haar partner Dylan op vakantie in Mexico en genoot regelmatig van wandelingen langs het prachtige strand. Op de volgende foto's zie je Christina en het strand waar ze bijna om het leven kwam.
Enkele dagen ging ze rond middernacht met Dylan nog even voor een wandeling langs het verlaten strand, toen ze plotseling werd meegenomen door een enorme golf die volkomen vanuit het niets verscheen. Voor ze besefte wat er was gebeurd, lag ze in het water en dreigde te verdrinken.
Het gebeurde zo snel dat ze geen tijd had om te schreeuwen en Dylan die iets verderop met zijn rug naar haar toe stond, had niet gemerkt dat Shannon was verdwenen.
Het weer was kalm die avond, geen storm en in een tijdsbestek van enkele seconden veranderde de vriendelijk kabbelende zee in een enorme golf die zo sterk was dat hij Shannon meesleurde. Op het moment dat het gebeurde, stond ze tot aan haar enkels in het water.
Ze heeft al met al ongeveer een uur in het water gelegen en deed haar uiterste best om niet in paniek te raken en haar energie zoveel mogelijk te sparen. Hoewel ze een geoefend zwemster is, had ze toch grote moeite om niet in paniek te raken. Ze zag alleen water en enorm hoge golven.
Het lukte haar uiteindelijk om ongeveer een kilometer verderop weer aan land te komen en was dolblij uiteraard dat ze het zand van het strand weer onder haar voeten kon voelen.
Afgelopen zondag gebeurde er iets vergelijkbaars in het Zuid Afrikaanse Durban en dit keer overleefde het slachtoffer, een 7-jarig meisje, de gebeurtenis niet.
De zee was die dag aardig wild, maar ook daar eigenlijk vanuit het niets een soort monstergolf die het meisje van de pier sleurde waar ze met haar moeder aan het wandelen was. Ze werd al snel uit het water gehaald, maar ondanks reanimatiepogingen heeft het kind dit helaas niet overleefd.
Sommigen spreken zelfs van een mini tsunami en er was wederom geen enkele aanleiding voor een golf die wordt omschreven als: The wave which washed the girl into the rough seas was described as a “monster wave” and a freak wave.
Een golf die niet wordt verwacht, waar geen aanleiding voor is en die als uit het niets verschijnt.
Dit soort gebeurtenissen zijn precies het tegenovergestelde van datgene wat recent gebeurde, zoals we schreven in een eerder artikel:
Op 9 januari was er een zeer krachtige 7.6 aardbeving in het Caraïbisch gebied; één van de meest krachtige aardbevingen ooit in die regio en hoewel er een tsunami waarschuwing werd afgegeven, kwam deze gelukkig niet.
Echter, de dagen daarvoor deed zich een vreemd verschijnsel voor met betrekking tot het water van de oceaan op twee verschillende plaatsen. Op beide locaties trok het water van de oceaan zich abnormaal ver terug en op de volgende afbeelding zie je dat de ene locatie op gelijke afstand ten noorden van de aardbeving ligt als de andere ten zuiden ervan.
Vanuit Florida komen berichten dat het water zich heel ver terugtrok op verschillende dagen en ook op variërende plekken, eigenlijk vanaf 3 januari tot net voor de aardbeving.
Ook voor de kust van Ecuador deed zich het merkwaardige verschijnsel voor op 5 januari, waarbij het water van de oceaan zich heel ver terugtrok, op een manier zoals je dat ziet voorafgaand aan een tsunami. Maar, er was absoluut geen sprake van een tsunami.
De volgende video gaat wat dieper in op de gebeurtenissen en de maker ontdekt dat er vóór de aardbeving nog een aantal plekken waren waar vreemde dingen gebeurden met water. Alsof er een grote onzichtbare kracht enorme watermassa's zomaar kan verplaatsen.
Ongetwijfeld zal weerman Gerrit Hiemstra er een verklaring voor kunnen bedenken, maar de rest van de wereld kan dat niet en de maker van onderstaande video komt dan ook tot de conclusie dat er een grote onzichtbare kracht aan het werk is.
Verder wordt er melding gemaakt van boeien in de oceaan die grote op- een neerwaartse bewegingen maken zonder enige aanleiding en ook komen er nu berichten dat er zich een onverwachte vloedgolf voordeed in Ecuador zoals te zien in de video hieronder.
Al deze gebeurtenissen zullen door de mainstream media nooit met elkaar in verband worden gebracht en wanneer je ze allemaal als afzonderlijke en niet gerelateerde zaken bekijkt, dan zie je ook nooit het grotere beeld.

UFO Over Outback In Australia Shows Classic Disk Shape, Nov 2017, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: November 18, 2017
Location of sighting: Faulconbridge, Australia
Source: MUFON #89836
This dark UFO was seen over the Australian outback, which believe it or not, is a hotbed of UFO activity. I get lots of comments from people in Australia saying its common place to see a UFO in the outback. This is a great photo of one of those Australian catches. The tilt of the craft shows that it was in motion when the photo was taken. Often disks need to tilt to change directions, but this doesn't apply to all UFOs.
Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
The UFO came from the bushes hovered for a few seconds before taking off into the sky in a southerly direction. The photo was taken by the observer and her family while taking photos from their back porch that looks onto the sassafras gully in NSW. All witnesses to the event wish to remain anonymous.

White UFO Tracked By Eyewitnesses Over Brisbane, Australia During The Day, Jan 20, 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: January 20, 2018 Location of sighting: Brisbane, Australia Source: MUFON #89833 Here is another report just in from down under. This is a semi-transparent UFO, which means its cloaked, but visible because of the angle of light of the sun and the eyewitness. You can see the bottom of the craft is the brightest, but the sun is above, so this is not a reflection. The UFO is whitish blue. Its shaped almost like the Russian space capsule the brings astronauts back to Earth, except for the short arms around its top. So cool the eyewitness was watching it, yet, the UFO was watching them back. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
Further past the Ibis I noticed an orb/ball hovering still in the sky that then started to move from south to north - it occasionally slowed to a stop before starting to move again in a reasonaably straight line. It was traveling very slowly and nothing like the plane I saw a few minutes earlier. I asked my wife to keep watch while I went indoors and got my binoculars and digital camera. I took some photos on full optical and digital zoom that are not particularly clear due to the distance and reflection off the object. Through the binoculars however I could see that the object was a solid ball but could not ascertain the size as I had nothing to compare it to. I would guess it was maybe 1 meter or so in diameter as it was definitely not as big as an aircraft but larger than the Ibis (they have an average wingspan of 110 - 123cm). Eventually the object moved in a large arc to the west before going behind a cloud. The cloud dissipated and the object was gone - I had been watching the whole time and it did not re-appear from the cloud but just vanished. I initially thought it may have been a satellite as I had observed them before but when it changed direction and came to a stand still I ruled that out (though I am no expert on satellites and their movement).
Nick Pope believes metal from UFOs has been recovered by the US.
In December the New York Times revealed details of a top-secret Department of Defense (DoD) prorgamme to investigate any threat from UFOs that ended in 2012.
The report about the DoD £16 million Advance Aerial Threat Identification Programme (AATIP) also astonishingly claimed that the material, that was said to be “unknown to science” following tests, was stored in buildings modified by a private aerospace company which was paid huge amounts of money by the DoD to research the phenomenon and look after the “metal alloys.”
The AATIP was run by military intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, on the fifth floor of the Pentagon’s C wing.
Mr Elizondo resigned to form UFO research group To The Stars Academy with former Blink 182 singer Tom DeLonge.
The bulk of the money went to Bigelow Aerospace in Las Vegas, run by billionaire US businessman Robert Bigelow, who is also working with NASA to create a new expandable spacecraft.
However, no images have surfaced of the alleged material, nor have any details of where it was found, or any reports of tests carried out on it.
Ralph Blumenthal, one of the reporters who worked on the story, later clarified: "They have, as we reported in the paper, some material from these objects that is being studied so that scientists can find what accounts for their amazing properties, this technology of these objects, whatever they are.
"It's some kind of compound that they don't recognise.
"We printed as much as we were able to verify. Can't go beyond that."
After a number of claims about the accuracy of the report emerged, Nick Pope, who previously investigated the potential threat posed by UFOs for the British MoD, came forward to back the report's claims.
Although his enquiries in the 1990s revealed no such threat existed, and no metals were found in the UK, he is convinced mystery metal is being stored in the US.
There are recovered "materials", the full details of which have yet to be disclosed.
Nick Pope
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, he said: "The recent revelations about the Pentagon's UFO project are all true.
"The project existed and was funded to the tune of $22 million.
"Some of the personnel involved with this project came to believe some of the objects were extraterrestrial.
"There are recovered "materials", the full details of which have yet to be disclosed."
We asked Mr Pope how he could be so certain that the metals existed and were in storage.
He said: "As to how we know these alloys exist, there are two points.
"Firstly, Luis Elizondo has clearly told the New York Times and others about this aspect of the AATIP project.
"Secondly, the original New York Times article on December 16 states that the paper saw contracts relating to the project, maybe as a result of Freedom of Information Act requests, but possibly as a result of material having been passed to them by Luis Elizondo or by someone else associated with the project.
"The implication in the New York Times article is that the alloys were mentioned in one of these contracts, which would have had to have contained some breakdown of how the money was going to be spent.
"A specific expense seems to have been the modification of some Bigelow Aerospace buildings to store these alloys and other UFO-related materials."
He described the New York Times fact-checking process as "meticulous."
He added: "They were obviously very, very sure about this aspect of the story.
"As I've said previously, there are various tests that can be done on alloys, and clearly these tests will have been done.
"The results will be known. It's just a question of whether the fact that these tests were done for AATIP but carried out by Bigelow Aerospace is sufficient to keep the results outside the scope of the US Freedom of Information Act.
"We don't know how these alloys and other materials were obtained.
"We're told they relate to UFOs, and if they come from some sort of military encounter, this is potentially very significant.
"However, we also know that Bigelow Aerospace acquired all sorts of UFO-related materials from civilian UFO research groups such as the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
Mr Pope said: "Imagine a scenario where a farmer sees a UFO over his cow pasture, and later found some bits of metal in the field.
"He assumes - maybe wrongly - that it's connected with the sighting, and gives it to a UFO investigator.
"Subsequently, it's acquired by Bigelow Aerospace and ends up as part of the AATIP project.
"If this is the sort of way in which these materials became part of the AATIP project, then they might not be exotic or significant at all."
Richard Sachleben, a retired chemist and member of the American Chemical Society's panel of experts, is not convinced.
He told Live Science. "My opinion? That's quite impossible.
"There are databases of all known phases [of metal], including alloys.
"There are no alloys that are sitting in some warehouse that we cannot figure out what they are.
"In fact, it's pretty simple, and any reasonably good metallurgical grad student can do it for you."
May Nyman, a professor in the Oregon State University Department of Chemistry, said the databases include straightforward techniques for identifying metal alloys.
He said If an unknown alloy appeared, it would be relatively simple to figure out what it was made of.

Aliens exist, but we simply do not see them?
Aliens exist, but we simply do not see them?
Just over 80 years ago, humanity first began broadcasting radio and television signals with sufficient force to leave the Earth’s atmosphere and move deeper into the interstellar space. If someone living in a distant star system is vigilantly watching these signals, he will not only be able to catch them, but also immediately identifies their sender as a reasonable species. In 1960, Frank Drake was the first to suggest such signals coming from other star systems using large radio trays, which led to SETI’s initiative: the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. But over the past half-century, we have developed far more effective means of communication for the entire globe than radio and television signals. Does this mean that the search for aliens in the electromagnetic spectrum no longer makes sense?
This question is, of course, unusually speculative, but it gives us an opportunity to look at our own technical progress and consider how it could take place elsewhere in the universe. In the end, if someone from a society in which they communicate with the signals of drums and fires, finds himself deep in the forest, he can come to the conclusion that there is no intelligent life around. But give him a phone and he can contact his relatives. Our conclusions can be as biased as the methods that we apply.
The mechanism of electricity began to be understood only in the late 18th century, thanks to the works of Ben Franklin. The power of electricity began to feed our wires and other devices only in the 19th century, and the phenomena of classical electromagnetics began to be understood only in the second half of this century. The first transmissions of electromagnetic signals took place only in 1895, and radio broadcasting brought us to the interstellar medium only by the 1930s. The speed of light is also very limited: if our radio signals travel through interstellar space only 80 years, it means that only civilizations within a radius of 80 light years can catch these signals and only civilizations within a radius of 40 light-years can catch the signal and send back the answer that today would have come. If the Fermi paradox poses the question “where is everyone?”, The answer is “not within a radius of 40 light years from us.” But what can this say about intelligent life in the universe? Never mind. Although there may be hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy and about two trillion galaxies in the observed universe, there are less than 1,000 stars within 40 light-years from Earth. In addition, electromagnetic signals that leave the Earth in interstellar space, decrease, but do not increase. Television and radio signals are increasingly transmitted through cables or transmitted through a satellite, rather than the broadcast towers on Earth. A century will pass, and, most likely, the signals that we sent throughout the 20th century, will cease to leave the Earth at all. Perhaps the alien civilization will conclude that this blue, water planet with life has reached a certain stage of development, and then it was destroyed, and the signals stopped sending. In other words, to draw conclusions about what is and what is not, according to the specific form of the electromagnetic signal, is a completely erroneous strategy. If we looked at the Earth from a close distance in visible light, we would undoubtedly decide that it is inhabited: the glow of cities at night is an unmistakable sign of activity. But such light pollution is a relatively new phenomenon. We constantly learn and invest money, effort and time to get rid of it. There is no reason to believe that by the end of the 21st century the Earth will look the same as it is now, and not as it looked billions of years before: a dark, sometimes shone with light, thunderstorms or volcanoes.
But if you look for no electromagnetic signals, then what? Everything in the universe is limited by the speed of light, and any signal created on another planet must somehow manifest itself so that we can notice it. These signals fall into four categories: Electromagnetic signals including any form of light of any wavelength that could indicate the presence of an intelligent life Gravitational wave signals, which – in case of belonging to a reasonable life – we can detect a sufficiently sensitive equipment from anywhere in the universe Neutrino signals – which, though extremely dispersed at great distances – could become an unmistakable sign under certain conditions Finally, macroscopic space probes, robotic, computerized, autonomous or inhabited, which approach the Earth Surprisingly, our fantastic imagination is focused almost exclusively on the fourth possibility, which is least likely. When you think about the huge distances between stars, about how many stars have potentially inhabited planets (or even satellites), and how much resources you need to physically send a space probe from one planet to another planet, from another star, this method of communication seems completely insane . It is much easier to build a detector that could explore different regions of the sky and find signals that will absolutely indicate the existence of intelligent life.
From the point of view of the electromagnetic spectrum, we know how our living world reacts to the seasons. In winter and summer our planet “shines” differently. Together with the change of times, colors change in different parts of our planet. Having a fairly large telescope (or array of telescopes), one could see the individual signs of our civilization: cities, satellites, airplanes and so on. But perhaps the best thing we could find is changes in the natural environment that correspond to what only intelligent civilization would create. We have not done this yet, but, perhaps, large-scale modifications of the planet – that’s what we should look for. Do not forget that the civilization that we will find is unlikely to be a technological baby, like us. If it survived and survived all catastrophes, it will be tens or hundreds of thousands of years older and more advanced than us. Just remember how we were just 200 years ago. Perhaps, as our technology of gravitational waves becomes sufficiently developed to detect the first signals of the universe, we will begin to reveal more subtle manifestations of activity in space. Perhaps we will be able to identify a planet with tens of thousands of satellites in orbit along its unique gravitational-waveprint. Now this area is very young, so it has a long way to go. But these signals do not disappear as electromagnetic signals do, and there is no way to hide them. Perhaps in a hundred or two years it will be our main tool for exploring outer space.
But there is another option. What source of energy will be used by a sufficiently developed civilization? Maybe nuclear. It is more likely that this will be the synthesis energy, a special type of synthesis that differs from that which occurs in the nuclei of stars, and emits a very, very specific neutrino signature as a by-product. And these neutrinos will directly indicate that energy is born not in the natural, but in the technogenic process. If we can predict what kind of signature it is, understand it, build a detector for it and measure it, we can find a civilization that works on nuclear fusion anywhere, and we do not have to worry whether it transmits radio signals or not. As long as it generates energy, we can find it.

New Fossil Found Places Modern Humans in Western Asia 195,000 years ago
New Fossil Found Places Modern Humans in Western Asia 195,000 years ago
Long before the ancestors of living people today entered Eurasia 60,000 years ago, other Homo sapiens groups had already occupied parts of the continent. Fossil finds have already recently established that early modern humans settled in the Levant and East Asia by 120,000 years ago, but a new discovery is further eroding the pre-existing consensus model.
Scientists have confirmed the presence of an archaic Homo sapiens jaw fragment and a significant number of skilfully worked stone tools present at the Misliya Cave site, one of Mt Carmel’s many caves. The article published on the research project, Israelifossils are the oldest modern humans ever found outside of Africa,appeared in the science journal Nature. This story has initiated a wave of worldwide media attention. The archaeological site is situated just a few kilometres away from the Skhul cave, which has previously produced modern human remains dated at 80,000–120,000-year-old. The new find was so much older than the team spent several years ensuring all possible checks were done to validate the find and assign it to the correct species, in this instance archaic Homo sapiens. After considerable analysis, the jaw fragment was dated at 177,000–194,000 years ago.
“We called it ‘Searching for the Origins of the Earliest Modern Humans’. This was what we were looking for,” says Mina Weinstein-Evron, an archaeologist at the University of Haifa in Israel.

It is usually thought that early modern humans in the Levant and the Middle East were unable to expand beyond this region into Eurasia, dying out by some unknown mechanism, the assumption being that they had flowed out from Africa. There is no solid evidence to say these groups did indeed emerge from Africa of course. With recent confirmation that the Chinese Dali Skull is that of an archaic Homo sapiens individual (from 260,000 years ago), we must keep a degree of scepticism regarding the mainstream scientists’ assumptions on the geographic origins of this population.
Professor Hiscock, an archaeologist from the University of Sydney, has raised the question of whether this individual was an ancestor of living humans and also commented on the claim that these early modern humans were unable to expand beyond the Levant.
“If that’s true, why did they die out and why were our ancestors able to move out when these people didn’t, given that they’re anatomically the same as us?” he said.
Human origins are a rather murky business, there is no definitive narrative to this story beyond a few fixed points between which lines can potentially be drawn in multiple (at times conflicting) directions. The first thing anyone that follows palaeoanthropology should recognise is that the entire subject is dependent not so much on archaeological and genetic evidence as it is on accurate interpretations and sensible assumptions. There is currently no sample of Homo sapiens DNA older than 45,000 years, and the fossil record for archaic Homo sapiens is sparse. This means any favoured human origins hypothesis can change rapidly on the turn of a trowel.
This incredibly ancient human bone further erodes the waning recent out of Africa model, not only were early modern human populations living beyond Africa 120,000 years ago but that they had already colonised western Eurasia almost 200,000 years. This date from Israel is virtually contemporary with those of the oldest early modern human remains found in East Africa, at 160,000 – 195,000 years of age (the Omo and Herto Skulls).
This latest announcement comes hot on the heels of several other ‘problematic’ findings, including a new status for China’s Dali Skull, now identified as being that of a 260,000-year-old archaic Homo sapiens. The other major upset for existing models involved the detection of an interbreeding event between Neanderthals and archaic Homo sapiens which occurred somewhere in Eurasia around 270,000 years ago, emerging from the study of a Neanderthal bone at the Hohlenstein-Stadel archaeological site in Germany. The Hohlenstein-Stadel genetic study was published by Nature in late 2016, under the title Deeply divergent archaic mitochondrial genome provides lower time boundary for African gene flow into Neanderthals.
When we factor in additional discoveries of potential early Homo sapiens populations living at Jebel Irhoud in Morocco around 300,000 years ago and others in China at dates closely matching those of the Dali skull, we begin to recognise Homo sapiens as a highly mobile and widespread species even from their very earliest appearance in the fossil record. It is time to completely abandon any romantic idea of a human genesis in an Eden-like human enclave somewhere in East Africa around 200,000 years ago.
“The fossil could indicate that Israel and the rest of the Arabian Peninsula were part of a larger region in which H. sapiens evolved”, says John Shea, an archaeologist at Stony Brook University in New York.
Perhaps the most intriguing implication of these very early modern human population in the Levant is that we no longer require a migration 120,000 years ago to explain fossils from that later period. It may well be that these more recent human populations were the descendants of the former archaic Homo sapiens present across the continent. Perhaps it is time for us to be more sceptical of claims involving additional migrations out of Africa and consider other interpretations of the available evidence.
Two rocks that crashed to Earth from space in 1998 are the 1st meteorites found to contain both liquid water and a mix of complex organic compounds such as hydrocarbons and amino acids.
Two space rocks, which separately crashed to Earth in 1998 after spending billions of years in our solar system’s asteroid belt, share something in common: the ingredients for life. That’s according to a study published January 10, 2018, in the journal Science Advances.
The study scientists analyzed the chemical makeup within tiny blue and purple salt crystals sampled from these meteorites. They said that the two meteorites are the first ever found to contain a mix of complex organic compounds such as hydrocarbons and amino acids, as well as microscopic traces of liquid water believed to date back to the infancy of our solar system – about 4.5 billion years ago.
The researchers also found evidence for the pair’s past intermingling and likely parents – including Ceres, a dwarf planet that’s the largest object in the asteroid belt, and the asteroid Hebe, a major source of meteorites that fall on Earth.

Queenie Chan is a planetary scientist and postdoctoral research associate at The Open University in the U.K. and the study’s lead author. Chan said in a statement:
This is really the first time we have found abundant organic matter also associated with liquid water that is really crucial to the origin of life and the origin of complex organic compounds in space.
We’re looking at the organic ingredients that can lead to the origin of life including the amino acids needed to form proteins.

Chan said the similarity of the crystals found in the meteorites – one of which smashed into the ground near a children’s basketball game in Texas in March 1998 and the other which hit near Morocco in August 1998 – suggest that their asteroid hosts may have crossed paths and mixed materials.
There are also structural clues of an impact – perhaps by a small asteroid fragment impacting a larger asteroid, Chan said, which opens up many possibilities for how organic matter may be passed from one host to another in space. Chan said:
Things are not as simple as we thought they were.
Ceres, a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt pictured here in this false-color image, may be the source of organic matter found in two meteorites that crashed to Earth in 1998.
There are also clues, Chan said, based on the organic chemistry and space observations, that the crystals may have originally been seeded by ice- or water-spewing volcanic activity on Ceres.
Everything leads to the conclusion that the origin of life is really possible elsewhere. There is a great range of organic compounds within these meteorites, including a very primitive type of organics that likely represent the early solar system’s organic composition.
Bottom line: New study says two meteorites are the first found to contain both liquid water and a mix of complex organic compounds.

Scientists Have Come Up With A New Technique That Could Reveal Hidden Alien Life
Scientists Have Come Up With A New Technique That Could Reveal Hidden Alien Life
A new ‘atmospheric disequilibrium’ could aid researchers in detecting alien life on distant planets in the cosmos.
According to a new study by scientists from the University of Washington, a simple approach to look for life might be more promising than just searching for oxygen.
New technique could reveal hidden alien life. Scientists ...
The recently published study offers a revolutionary new recipe that could help astronomers find evidence whether or not a distant planet may harbor life.
“This idea of looking for atmospheric oxygen as a biosignature has been around for a long time. And it’s a good strategy — it’s very hard to make much oxygen without life,” said corresponding author Joshua Krissansen-Totton, a UW doctoral student in Earth and space sciences. “But we don’t want to put all our eggs in one basket. Even if life is common in the cosmos, we have no idea if it will be life that makes oxygen. The biochemistry of oxygen production is very complex and could be quite rare.”
The new technique has experts looking for a gas mixture that includes abundant methane and carbon dioxide but lacks carbon monoxide.
To come up with the new technique, scientists from the University of Washington looked back at the history of life on Earth and searched for times when Earth’s atmosphere had a mixture of gases that were out of equilibrium, which could only be present if there were living organisms on Earth.
Researchers note in the article that life’s ability to produce vast amounts of oxygen can be traced back relatively recently, to one-eighth of Earth’s history.
This is why scientists decided to look back further and identified a new combination of gasses that may help scientists find traces of life on other planets: methane plus carbon dioxide, minus carbon monoxide.
We need to look for fairly abundant methane and carbon dioxide in a world that has liquid water at its surface and find an absence of carbon monoxide.

“We need to look for fairly abundant methane and carbon dioxide on a world that has liquid water at its surface, and find an absence of carbon monoxide,” said co-author David Catling, a UW professor of Earth and space sciences.
“Our study shows that this combination would be a compelling sign of life. What’s exciting is that our suggestion is doable, and may lead to the historic discovery of an extraterrestrial biosphere in the not-too-distant future.”
The new study offers a revolutionary new way by which scientists can hunt for aliens.
The paper looks at different ways a planet can produce methane, and scientists take into consideration asteroid impacts, outgassing from the planet’s interior, reactions of rocks and water, discovering that it would be extremely difficult to produce methane on rocky, Earth-like planets without the presence of living organisms.
Researchers note that if methane and carbon dioxide are detected together on a planet, and without the presence of carbon monoxide, then that is a chemical imbalance that suggests there is life.
“Carbon monoxide is a gas that would be readily eaten by microbes,” Krissansen-Totton said. “So, if carbon monoxide were abundant, that would be a clue that perhaps you’re looking at a planet that doesn’t have biology.”
Undeniable Proof Of UFOs? Check Out A Footage Of A UFO Taking Off From The Moon
Undeniable Proof Of UFOs? Check Out A Footage Of A UFO Taking Off From The Moon
YouTube has become a video repository for UFO videos, collections of images edited as videos showing inexplicable discoveries on both the Moon, Mars and other places in the solar system.
The video-uploading Social Network has quickly lost control of what is posted on the site as hundreds of thousands of people record and upload videos of strange events they say are proof of aliens and UFOS.
Regrettably, while there may be quite a few videos which are actually the real deal and offer proof of the existence of UFOs, there is a huge amount of fake videos posted on YouTube, most of them being the product of Computer Generated images (CGI).
Now a new video uploaded to YouTube has made headlines around the world after a man from Mexico called Diego Alves uploaded a very peculiar clip on his YouTube channel.
Since then, it has gained much popularity and has been reposted to several other YouTube accounts.
The ‘controversial video’ seems to show what everyone wants to see: A UFO taking off from the Moon, and shooting into space.
It must be the real deal, right?
Users rushed to comment on the video: “That UFO looks like it’s coming from a hole out of the moon. This is a great video.”
And another added: “Something is Coming, I can feel it.”
A third comment claimed: “That is the best UFO footage I have ever seen.
But hold your horses, not all is as it appears.
UFO debunkers quickly spotted that Mr. Aviles’ Facebook page was filled with CGI content (very talented he is) and that he was a graphic artist who has made a host of stunning CGI videos.
While the video may be undoubtedly awesome, and while it appears to clearly show a mystery object shooting off from the surface of the moon at great speed, the truth is that the man who uploaded the Video, Diego Aviles is a graphic artist who has made a host of stunning CGI videos.
The video is a product of two parts: the moon filmed from a telescope and a small object that was added afterward making it appear as if it was taking off from the moon, and shooting into outer space.
Earth’s moon is a mysterious place. Yes, and there are many things on the surface which are hard to explain. Dr. Robert Jastrow, the first president of NASA’s Commission of Lunar Exploration called the moon “the Rosetta Stone of the planets.” And yes, there are several theories that suggest the moon is both a massive alien base or has numerous bases on its surface whose origin remains a mystery. In July of 1970, two Russian scientists, Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov, published an article in the Soviet journal Sputnik called “Is the Moon the Creation of Alien Intelligence?” The theory proposed by the two experts offers arguments that would explain the countless enigmas surrounding the moon and its creation.
The Russian scientific duo proposed the theory that Earth’s Moon is not a natural satellite, but a planetoid that was literally hollowed out eons ago in the far reaches of the universe by super advanced intelligent beings possessing a technology far superior to ours, even today.
Anyhow, while there are numerous interesting theories worth pursuing in terms of Aliens and UFO’s, videos like the one uploaded to Mr. Avila’s YouTube channel damage serious UFO investigations.
