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.

    UFO Seen Over Washington Monument In Newly Released Photo, UFO Sighting News.


    Date of sighting: 8-4-2017
    Location of sighting: Washington DC, USA
    Source: MUFON #89860

    This UFO was caught at the Washington monument a four months ago, but reported today. A dark UFO was near the top of the monument when the photo was taken. These UFOs often move so fast that the human eye cannot see them, but the digital camera can capture them. 


    This is not the first UFO near this monument. Another was seen on a very important day, Obamas inauguration, back in Jan of 2009. It was seen by CNN reporters as they were talking about the day, one noticed an object shoot past behind them at high speed. He asked the camera guy if he caught it and could run it back for them. He did, and a UFO similar to the one today was seen shooting over the monument at incredible speed. I will place the video at the bottom of this post to compare, but please make it full screen to see well. 

    Scott C. Waring-Taiwan

    Eyewitness states: 

    Me and my family were in DC for a White House tour. We walked to the Lincoln memorial and I climbed the steps, the view from there is awesome, you can see the whole mall, so I decided to take some pictures. It was areound 11 am and I took about 3 pictures in a row of the Washington monument. At the time I didn't see anything but later that night, when I got home, I was looking through the pictures when I noticed something odd about one of them. The first picture was totally normal, but in the second one, on the right of the Washington memorial, I saw a little black disc shaped object just hovering next to it. I swiped to the 3rd picture to see if it was in that one too but it was gone. It must've disappeared quickly, as these pictures were taken within seconds of each other. I don't know the exact size of it but it must've been big if it showed up on my phone camera.
    At first I assumed it was just a plane or a drone, but if I'm not mistaken, the skies above the mall and the monument are a strict no fly zone, as the capital and the White House are in close proximity. It's been on my mind for a while, I just want an explanation for it. I would've reported it sooner but I wasn't sure how.

    Something crashed near a road way in Mexico last week. Reported by Secureteam10 of Youtube, this video shows us the crater still smouldering from impact of an unknown object. The crater is 26 feet across according to reports, but what sits at the bottom of the crater has not been announced. We are still waiting for reports about what was found at the bottom. When this comes in, I will let you know immediately.

    Silent Triangle UFO in the night sky filmed over Beausset, France

    The following footage of a triangular craft has been recorded by a resident in Le Beausset in France on January 19, 2018.


    The videographer states: I was in my garden, watching the sky as I often do. I saw two lights moving together very close to each other as I used to observe satellites there.

    I thought it's not flashing so it's not a plane or a helicopter. There was no noise I could hear. It was not a satellite because the 2 lights are very low in altitude and my intuition tells me quickly take your phone and film.

    I could not film very long because my gate is a little high and was locked.

    When watching the video I realized the form I was filming and I thought it was strange. I was very excited and intrigued by what I was able to see and video. Source: www.mufon.com

    Flying Saucer becomes visible in the sky over Jamaica

    A strange phenomenon appeared in the sky over St. Ann, Jamaica on January 25, 2018.

    Stoney Vill, who has filmed the phenomenon, wonders what the strange ring of lights in the clouds could be.


    The video shows sun rays shining from behind a cloud formation, but light from the sun seems to be bending around a disk at the top of the cloud


    When zoomed in on the disk, it clearly shows the solid contours of a UFO, a cloaked flying saucer that became temporarily visible. (See video 0.06sec).

    If You Had a Human Head Transplant, Would You Still Be You?

    by Dom Galeon

    Ahead of the Times?

    Sergio Canavero is adamant that human head transplants will work. In fact, he claims that he could complete such a transplant within a year, and he says that he has the science to back it up. But does he?

    Towards the end of 2017, Canavero’s project made headlines when the Italian surgeon claimed that he had actually already performed the procedure, which he calls the “head anastomosis venture” or HEAVEN. Subsequent reports determined that no such procedure took place and that the work was completed on corpses — many neuroscientists question whether even that much was really done.

    Most scientists question whether there has been enough scientific progress to allow Canavero to perform such an operation next fall in China, as he claims he will do. In fact, they question whether research will make head transplants a viable option even in the foreseeable future. Richard L. Harvey, Northwestern University associate professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, sums the current consensus: “At this point, it would not be possible to connect the brainstem to the spinal cord in such a way as to get function. So if this were done, the person would be a [quadriplegic],” he told Futurism. “We can’t even repair spinal cords in patients with spinal cord injury, so we certainly can’t do that [successfully perform a head transplant].”

    But that doesn’t mean that we will never be able to do one.

    Ralph Adolphs, Bren Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Biology from the division of the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), doesn’t rule out the possibility that a head transplant could be successful in the distant future, although the procedure would have to overcome substantial challenges. “I don’t see any impossibility in principle, so it’s conceivable it can be done in the future — but it will happen in small steps first, like curing paralyzed people, and you’ll be sure to hear about it as all the problems required are solved,” he told Futurism.

    While, for the time being, a head transplant remains out of reach, if science does advance enough to perform one successfully, it will raise an array of new, mind-boggling questions.

    A Sound Mind and Body

    For starters, what happens to the transplanted head in the new body? Because of the way that other parts of the body impact our neurology and the way that we think and act, would joining a head with a new body create a new person altogether or would the head retain its former consciousness unaltered?

    Recent studies have shown that mental activity can be influenced by forces outside of the brain. Researchers have been trying to put together a clearer picture of how the body’s microbiome — or bacterial ecosystem — affects how people think and feel. A study has shown how it’s possible for gut bacteria to communicate with microbes in the brain. A healthy gut microbiome, for instance, is said to have an effect on the development of anxiety or anxiety-like behavior.

    With a human head transplant, the head would be introduced to a foreign microbiome through the new body. Would this affect how the person thinks?

    “[D]ifferent gut bacteria may make you feel different, and therefore think a little differently, but they won’t directly make you think differently because all thinking happens in the brain, not the gut,” Adolphs said. “Different gut bacteria might make you more or less groggy or change your mood — just like if you had a cold or not.  So I guess the answer is: slightly, and only indirectly, like how viruses or bacteria do when you have a cold.”

    Assuming that a human head transplant could work, the patient would still need a significant period of recovery for brain activity to normalize. According to Adolphs, this recovery process would be two-fold. It would probably begin with the brain adapting to its new body. “Just like learning to ride a bicycle, you’ll need to learn how to walk and move your arms, and for that matter breathe and regulate your heartbeat,” he explained.

    It would take several months for brain and body to integrate. However, “that means your brain will change,” Adolphs said. This change is comparable, on a smaller scale, to how people learn to play a musical instrument, and get better with practice — only in this case, it would be practicing to control a new body.

    “[Y]ou would change as a person in a number of respects because of a massive reorganization in your brain as it learns to adapt to your new body […] There would be limits to this reorganization that depend, among other things, on age,” Adolphs added.

    Felipe De Brigard, an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience of Duke University’s Institute for Brain Sciences, has a more radical perspective on the issue. He told Futurism that “it is unlikely that all of our psychological traits are uniquely dependent upon the cells confined within our head — it is likely that many of our psychological traits are dependent upon the informational transactions between our brain and our bodies. As such, a change in body would likely alter some of those psychological traits.” De Brigard admitted, however, that it’s not clear as to what extent a “new body” could alter psychological traits.

    Post transplant

    Arthur Caplan, founding head of the medical ethics division at the NYU School of Medicine, told Futurism that what would come after a successful head transplant would be as traumatic as the surgery itself. “Putting a new head in a body is a guarantee of madness at best. The new mind-body integration would never work,” Caplan said.

    He asserts that this will be the likely outcome, as the brain would be flooded with chemicals and signals from the body that are foreign and unfamiliar.

    Harvey explains that, if not to outright madness, the person who’d come out of such a surgery would be the person who owned the head. “So in a real way it would be a body transplant, not a head transplant,” he said to Futurism.

    Kai G. Zinn, Howard and Gwen Laurie Smits Professor of Biology at Caltech BBE, seems to disagree with this assessment. “If it could be done, the brain itself would be the same. But since it would be connected to a different body the person would be very different,” he said.

    Though they may disagree on the specifics, scientists agree that a human head transplant would be a cognitive nightmare and that the person who’d come out of such a procedure would be that person who owned the head, but with very different, and possibly damaged, brain functions.

    This article has been updated. A previous version did not mention Kai G. Zinn’s affiliation.

    Michio Kaku’s Biggest Predictions About the Future

    by Chelsea Gohd 

     

    Take a Look Into the Future

    Dr. Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist, futurist, and popular science communicator. He’s also the author of “Physics of the Impossible,” has hosted radio programs and television specials on the BBC, the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, and the Science Channel, and most notably, is a co-founder of string field theory (a branch of string theory).

    While he also does speaking engagements, many who are familiar with Kaku’s work have the internet to thank. He’s a frequent face on the Big Think YouTube channel and uses social media to bring the complex web of physics to the public in an educational and entertaining way.

    While Kaku does not have a time machine, his understanding of physics and our place in the universe has given him a unique perspective on our past, present, and ultimately, our future. To the latter point, he’s had plenty of interesting things to say. Here are some of Kaku’s predictions about the future.

    In December of 2016, Kaku made several predictions about the future, projecting five, 10, and even as far as 20 years ahead. His predictions and statements are derived both from his knowledge as a physicist and his interest in studying what might, or could, be.

    Dr. Kaku kicked off 2017 by reminding everyone about the importance of science to human prosperity, as well as the integral role simple curiosity plays in scientific advancement. This sentiment echoes the idea that many brilliant ideas begin because our curiosities have been piqued. As a result, we ask a question and in our attempts to answer it, make discoveries along the way.

    As part of the National Geographic series Year Million, Kaku explored what human life might look like one million years from now. The series showcases the expertise and opinions of scientists, science fiction writers, futurists, and scholars. Together with these experts, Dr. Kaku images what might be in Year Million — that is, if humans survive that long.

    As a theoretical physicist, Dr. Kaku used the groundbreaking observation of gravitational waves to explore the future of astronomy.

    Dr. Kaku has, at times, even questioned reality. Last year he wove physics observations and theories into a discussion about not only where we stand as humans in the universe, but what might we define as reality going forward.

    Dr. Kaku’s predictions aren’t always theoretical, though. Last spring he used the instance of a nearby asteroid to discuss the possibility of asteroids greatly impacting life on Earth in the future.

    More recently, Kaku made predictions about when we’ll confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life. His statements were in reference to a New York Times piece about a top-secret UFO program at the Pentagon. Kaku predicted we may not discover extraterrestrial life when or where we expect to, and that in such strange circumstances, it will be essential to keep an open mind. A sentiment that’s surely true for all areas of science.

    From the potential destruction of Earth by an asteroid to the possibility of finally connecting with extraterrestrial life, Kaku’s predictions aren’t as wild as they may seem at first. They’re based on hard science and the most recent observations and understandings we have about our universe.

    Kaku, nor anyone, can predict the future certainly. The best that he, or any of us, can do is take current information about science, the universe, and humanity, and figure out how all of these variables interact. Then, we can imagine a well-informed and comprehensive prediction about the future.

    There is one thing Kaku is sure about, however: that climate change is a real threat to life on Earth, not just in terms of our future, but today. And that we can take action right now to make sure we reach that future, whatever it may hold.

    A laser in Shanghai, China, has set power records yet fits on tabletops.

    Physicists are planning to build lasers so powerful they could rip apart empty space

    Inside a cramped laboratory in Shanghai, China, physicist Ruxin Li and colleagues are breaking records with the most powerful pulses of light the world has ever seen. At the heart of their laser, called the Shanghai Superintense Ultrafast Laser Facility (SULF), is a single cylinder of titanium-doped sapphire about the width of a Frisbee. After kindling light in the crystal and shunting it through a system of lenses and mirrors, the SULF distills it into pulses of mind-boggling power. In 2016, it achieved an unprecedented 5.3 million billion watts, or petawatts (PW). The lights in Shanghai do not dim each time the laser fires, however. Although the pulses are extraordinarily powerful, they are also infinitesimally brief, lasting less than a trillionth of a second. The researchers are now upgrading their laser and hope to beat their own record by the end of this year with a 10-PW shot, which would pack more than 1000 times the power of all the world's electrical grids combined.

    The group's ambitions don't end there. This year, Li and colleagues intend to start building a 100-PW laser known as the Station of Extreme Light (SEL). By 2023, it could be flinging pulses into a chamber 20 meters underground, subjecting targets to extremes of temperature and pressure not normally found on Earth, a boon to astrophysicists and materials scientists alike. The laser could also power demonstrations of a new way to accelerate particles for use in medicine and high-energy physics. But most alluring, Li says, would be showing that light could tear electrons and their antimatter counterparts, positrons, from empty space—a phenomenon known as "breaking the vacuum." It would be a striking illustration that matter and energy are interchangeable, as Albert Einstein's famous E=mc2 equation states. Although nuclear weapons attest to the conversion of matter into immense amounts of heat and light, doing the reverse is not so easy. But Li says the SEL is up to the task. "That would be very exciting," he says. "It would mean you could generate something from nothing."

    The Chinese group is "definitely leading the way" to 100 PW, says Philip Bucksbaum, an atomic physicist at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. But there is plenty of competition. In the next few years, 10-PW devices should switch on in Romania and the Czech Republic as part of Europe's Extreme Light Infrastructure, although the project recently put off its goal of building a 100-PW-scale device. Physicists in Russia have drawn up a design for a 180-PW laser known as the Exawatt Center for Extreme Light Studies (XCELS), while Japanese researchers have put forward proposals for a 30-PW device.

    Largely missing from the fray are U.S. scientists, who have fallen behind in the race to high powers, according to a study published last month by a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine group that was chaired by Bucksbaum. The study calls on the Department of Energy to plan for at least one high-power laser facility, and that gives hope to researchers at the University of Rochester in New York, who are developing plans for a 75-PW laser, the Optical Parametric Amplifier Line (OPAL). It would take advantage of beamlines at OMEGA-EP, one of the country's most powerful lasers. "The [Academies] report is encouraging," says Jonathan Zuegel, who heads the OPAL.

    Invented in 1960, lasers use an external "pump," such as a flash lamp, to excite electrons within the atoms of a lasing material—usually a gas, crystal, or semiconductor. When one of these excited electrons falls back to its original state it emits a photon, which in turn stimulates another electron to emit a photon, and so on. Unlike the spreading beams of a flashlight, the photons in a laser emerge in a tightly packed stream at specific wavelengths.

    Because power equals energy divided by time, there are basically two ways to maximize it: Either boost the energy of your laser, or shorten the duration of its pulses. In the 1970s, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California focused on the former, boosting laser energy by routing beams through additional lasing crystals made of glass doped with neodymium. Beams above a certain intensity, however, can damage the amplifiers. To avoid this, LLNL had to make the amplifiers ever larger, many tens of centimeters in diameter. But in 1983, Gerard Mourou, now at the École Polytechnique near Paris, and his colleagues made a breakthrough. He realized that a short laser pulse could be stretched in time—thereby making it less intense—by a diffraction grating that spreads the pulse into its component colors. After being safely amplified to higher energies, the light could be recompressed with a second grating. The end result: a more powerful pulse and an intact amplifier.

    This "chirped-pulse amplification" has become a staple of high-power lasers. In 1996, it enabled LLNL researchers to generate the world's first petawatt pulse with the Nova laser. Since then, LLNL has pushed to higher energies in pursuit of laser-driven fusion. The lab's National Ignition Facility (NIF) creates pulses with a mammoth 1.8 megajoules of energy in an effort to heat tiny capsules of hydrogen to fusion temperatures. However, those pulses are comparatively long and they still generate only about 1 PW of power.

    To get to higher powers, scientists have turned to the time domain: packing the energy of a pulse into ever-shorter durations. One approach is to amplify the light in titanium-doped sapphire crystals, which produce light with a large spread of frequencies. In a mirrored laser chamber, those pulses bounce back and forth, and the individual frequency components can be made to cancel each other out over most of their pulse length, while reinforcing each other in a fleeting pulse just a few tens of femtoseconds long. Pump those pulses with a few hundred joules of energy and you get 10 PW of peak power. That's how the SULF and other sapphire-based lasers can break power records with equipment that fits in a large room and costs just tens of millions of dollars, whereas NIF costs $3.5 billion and needs a building 10 stories high that covers the area of three U.S. football fields.

    Raising pulse power by another order of magnitude, from 10 PW to 100 PW, will require more wizardry. One approach is to boost the energy of the pulse from hundreds to thousands of joules. But titanium-sapphire lasers struggle to achieve those energies because the big crystals needed for damage-free amplification tend to lase at right angles to the beam—thereby sapping energy from the pulses. So scientists at the SEL, XCELS, and OPAL are pinning their hopes on what are known as optical parametric amplifiers. These take a pulse stretched out by an optical grating and send it into an artificial "nonlinear" crystal, in which the energy of a second, "pump" beam can be channeled into the pulse. Recompressing the resulting high-energy pulse raises its power.

    To approach 100 PW, one option is to combine several such pulses—four 30-PW pulses in the case of the SEL and a dozen 15-PW pulses at the XCELS. But precisely overlapping pulses just tens of femtoseconds long will be "very, very difficult," says LLNL laser physicist Constantin Haefner. They could be thrown off course by even the smallest vibration or change in temperature, he argues. The OPAL, in contrast, will attempt to generate 75 PW using a single beam.

    Mourou envisions a different route to 100 PW: adding a second round of pulse compression. He proposes using thin plastic films to broaden the spectrum of 10-PW laser pulses, then squeezing the pulses to as little as a couple of femtoseconds to boost their power to about 100 PW.

    Once the laser builders summon the power, another challenge will loom: bringing the beams to a singularly tight focus. Many scientists care more about intensity—the power per unit area—than the total number of petawatts. Achieve a sharper focus, and the intensity goes up. If a 100-PW pulse can be focused to a spot measuring just 3 micrometers across, as Li is planning for the SEL, the intensity in that tiny area will be an astonishing 1024 watts per square centimeter (W/cm2)—some 25 orders of magnitude, or 10 trillion trillion times, more intense than the sunlight striking Earth.

    Those intensities will open the possibility of breaking the vacuum. According to the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes how electromagnetic fields interact with matter, the vacuum is not as empty as classical physics would have us believe. Over extremely short time scales, pairs of electrons and positrons, their antimatter counterparts, flicker into existence, born of quantum mechanical uncertainty. Because of their mutual attraction, they annihilate each another almost as soon as they form.

    But a very intense laser could, in principle, separate the particles before they collide. Like any electromagnetic wave, a laser beam contains an electric field that whips back and forth. As the beam's intensity rises, so, too, does the strength of its electric field. At intensities around 1024 W/cm2, the field would be strong enough to start to break the mutual attraction between some of the electron-positron pairs, says Alexander Sergeev, former director of the Russian Academy of Sciences's (RAS's) Institute of Applied Physics (IAP) in Nizhny Novgorod and now president of RAS. The laser field would then shake the particles, causing them to emit electromagnetic waves—in this case, gamma rays. The gamma rays would, in turn, generate new electron-positron pairs, and so on, resulting in an avalanche of particles and radiation that could be detected. "This will be completely new physics," Sergeev says. He adds that the gamma ray photons would be energetic enough to push atomic nuclei into excited states, ushering in a new branch of physics known as "nuclear photonics"—the use of intense light to control nuclear processes.

    Amplifiers for the University of Rochester's OMEGA-EP, lit up by flash lamps, could drive a U.S. high-power laser.

    UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER LABORATORY FOR LASER ENERGETICS/EUGENE KOWALUK

    One way to break the vacuum would be to simply focus a single laser beam onto an empty spot inside a vacuum chamber. But colliding two beams makes it easier, because this jacks up the momentum needed to generate the mass for electrons and positrons. The SEL would collide photons indirectly. First, the pulses would eject electrons from a helium gas target. Other photons from the laser beam would ricochet off the electrons and be boosted into high-energy gamma rays. Some of these in turn would collide with optical photons from the beam.

    Documenting these head-on photon collisions would itself be a major scientific achievement. Whereas classical physics insists that two light beams will pass right through each other untouched, some of the earliest predictions of QED stipulate that converging photons occasionally scatter off one another. "The predictions go back to the early 1930s," says Tom Heinzl, a theoretical physicist at Plymouth University in the United Kingdom. "It would be good if we could confirm them experimentally."

    Besides making lasers more powerful, researchers also want to make them shoot faster. The flash lamps that pump the initial energy into many lasers must be cooled for minutes or hours between shots, making it hard to carry out research that relies on plenty of data, such as investigating whether, very occasionally, photons transform into particles of the mysterious dark matter thought to make up much of the universe's mass. "Chances are you would need a lot of shots to see that," says Manuel Hegelich, a physicist at the University of Texas in Austin.

    A higher repetition rate is also key to using a high-power laser to drive beams of particles. In one scheme, an intense beam would transform a metal target into a plasma, liberating electrons that, in turn, would eject protons from nuclei on the metal's surface. Doctors could use those proton pulses to destroy cancers—and a higher firing rate would make it easier to administer the treatment in small, individual doses.

    Physicists, for their part, dream of particle accelerators powered by rapid-fire laser pulses. When an intense laser pulse strikes a plasma of electrons and positive ions, it shoves the lighter electrons forward, separating the charges and creating a secondary electric field that pulls the ions along behind the light like water in the wake of a speedboat. This "laser wakefield acceleration" can accelerate charged particles to high energies in the space of a millimeter or two, compared with many meters for conventional accelerators. Electrons thus accelerated could be wiggled by magnets to create a so-called free-electron laser (FEL), which generates exceptionally bright and brief flashes of x-rays that can illuminate short-lived chemical and biological phenomena. A laser-powered FEL could be far more compact and cheaper than those powered by conventional accelerators.

    In the long term, electrons accelerated by high-repetition PW pulses could slash the cost of particle physicists' dream machine: a 30-kilometer-long electron-positron collider that would be a successor to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. A device based on a 100-PW laser could be at least 10 times shorter and cheaper than the roughly $10 billion machine now envisaged, says Stuart Mangles, a plasma physicist at Imperial College London.

    Both the linear collider and rapid-fire FELs would need thousands, if not millions, of shots per second, well beyond current technology. One possibility, being investigated by Mourou and colleagues, is to try to combine the output of thousands of quick-firing fiber amplifiers, which don't need to be pumped with flash tubes. Another option is to replace the flash tubes with diode lasers, which are expensive, but could get cheaper with mass production.

    For the moment, however, Li's group in China and its U.S. and Russian counterparts are concentrating on power. Efim Khazanov, a laser physicist at IAP, says the XCELS could be up and running by about 2026—assuming the government agrees to the cost: roughly 12 billion rubles (about $200 million). The OPAL, meanwhile, would be a relative bargain at between $50 million and $100 million, Zuegel says.

    But the first laser to rip open the vacuum is likely to be the SEL, in China. An international committee of scientists last July described the laser's conceptual design as "unambiguous and convincing," and Li hopes to get government approval for funding—about $100 million—early this year. Li says other countries need not feel left in the shadows as the world's most powerful laser turns on, because the SEL will operate as an international user facility. Zuegel says he doesn't "like being second," but acknowledges that the Chinese group is in a strong position. "China has plenty of bucks," he says. "And it has a lot of really smart people. It is still catching up on a lot of the technology, but it's catching up fast."

    President Ford Interest in UFOs

     “I strongly recommend that there be a committee investigation of the UFO phenomena. I think we owe it to the people to establish credibility regarding UFOs and to produce the greatest possible enlightenment on this subject.” Republican House Minority Leader of Congress, 1966

    I wrote President Ford and asked about his interest in UFOs. He stated, “During my public career while in Congress, as Vice President and as President he made various requests about UFOs. The official authorities always denied the UFO allegations. As a result I have no information that may be helpful to you.  President Gerald Ford

    UFO Hits SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket

    Last year after NASA SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket disintegrated on Cape Canaveral, billionaire CEO of Space X Elon Musk Twitted “We have not ruled that a UFO hitting the Space X Falcon 9 rocket“. This never before seen Kryan channel exclusive high definition video is best to watch on big screen TV. Here you can clearly see SpaceX rocket disintegrates shortly after the launch from Cape Canaveral NASA platform after UFO hitting it.

    Rock Star Tom DeLonge UFO Disclosure

     It has been confirmed through Wikileaks that a partial UFO disclosure initiative was being prepared through rock Star

    Tom DeLonge, who is being helped by two retired USAF Generals along with senior corporate officials such as the head of Lockheed Martin’s Skunkworks. The plan is to release information about the USAF/DIA/NSA/NRO space program with Earth orbiting space stations and antigravity TR-3B spacecraft capable of limited interplanetary operations. Partial disclosure would be designed to hide the existence of more advanced craft.

    Among the piles of information exposed by WikiLeaks was the extensive email chain between DeLonge and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta. The Wall Street Journal reported that the rocker wrote to Podesta vaguely about their shared interest of intellectual life and greater government disclosure. Furthermore, DeLonge revealed that he had been working with former Air Force Major General William N. McCasland to help the rocker assemble his UFO advisory team. In an email from 2015, DeLonge told Podesta that he would like to introduce him to two officials who “were in charge of most fragile divisions, as it relates to Classified Science and DOD topics.”

    DeLonge states, “We believe there are transformative discoveries within our reach that will revolutionize the human experience, but they can only be accomplished through the unrestricted support of breakthrough research, discovery and innovation.”

    Tom DeLonge is the co-founder, President and interim CEO of To The Stars Academy of the Arts and Science. As President of the company’s subsidiary, To The Stars Inc., since 2015, he was primarily engaged within the entertainment sector. His career spans over two decades, selling over 25 million records worldwide with the bands he co-founded, Blink182 and Angels & Airwaves.

    The Stars Academy of Arts & Science has mobilized a team of the most experienced, connected and passionately curious minds from the US intelligence community, including the CIA and Department of Defense, that have been operating under the shadows of top-secrecy for decades. The team members all share a common thread of frustration and determination to disrupt the status quo, wanting to use their expertise and credibility to bring transformative science and engineering out of the shadows and collaborate with global citizens to apply that knowledge in a way that benefits humanity.

    Luis Elizondo is Director of Global Security & Special Programs and a career intelligence officer whose experience includes working with the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense, the National Counterintelligence Executive, and the Director of National Intelligence. As a former Special Agent In-Charge, Luis conducted and supervised highly sensitive espionage and terrorism investigations around the world. For nearly the last decade, Luis also ran a sensitive aerospace threat identification program focusing on unidentified aerial technologies. Luis’ academic background includes Microbiology, Immunology and Parasitology.

    Elizondo states, “Our vision is to collect, triage, and partition signature data, utilizing forensic and scientific methodology, into a central database that can be used to shed light on anomalies, trends, and patterns.” We believe these data, when analyzed rigorously, could lead to a better understanding of our reality, including some of the most fascinating and mysterious phenomena in the universe. In turn, our vision is to involve the public with the discovery of revolutionary breakthroughs in science and technology. There is sufficient credible evidence of unidentified aerial phenomena that proves exotic technologies exist that could revolutionize the human experience.

    Footage in the videos was captured by advanced sensor tracking technology in separate U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets. In the 34-second “Gimbal” (the name likely a reference to the UAP’s free-tilting movement), astonished pilots can be heard talking excitedly about an oval-shaped craft spotted at an altitude close to 25,000 feet.  The object has no distinguishable flight surfaces or exhaust plume, and its flight seems to defy the known laws of physics.  In the under-1:30 video “FLIR1” (to footage captured by the F/A-18’s Forward Looking Infrared System), an unknown object is seen at 24,000 feet.  The footage, which has no sound, shows the object hovering with no exhaust plume, displaying extreme maneuverability and sudden acceleration that cannot be achieved by any known aircraft. These are two of several official videos obtained by TTS Academy that serve as credible proof of the physics of advanced flight.

    DO NOT KILL

    Of all commandments in my opinion not killing is the most important. Interestingly extraterrestrials often promise abductees and contactees that when they take over on Earth killing of all kinds will stop and there will be no more wars or crime. The aliens indicate we are barbaric in our killing of innocents that includes animals and various life forms. Let’s assume the promise is correct and that ET technology may be able to change the minds of killers, world leaders who start wars and stop abortions.

    In 2014, 652,639 legal induced abortions were reported to Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Throughout the US which is down from almost a million in previous years.

    In order to justify its half-billion dollars in annual taxpayer funding, Planned Parenthood performed 323,999 abortions in 2014, according to the organization and took in a total revenue was US $1.3 billion. Planned Parenthood performed more abortions in 2015 (328,348) compared to the previous year. Despite the declining number of Planned Parenthood clinics, clients, and services, the abortion giant continues to receive half a billion dollars from U.S. taxpayers each year.

    Based on these calculations, in all likelihood, Planned Parenthood provided prenatal services to barely 1,500 pregnant women. Think about that – 328,000 babies killed, 1,500 babies helped.

    Total legal abortions since 1973 to January 2017 were: 59,115,995. The pro-life marches against 60 Million deaths were barely covered by the news while woman’s marches were covered extensively by virtually every major news media multiple times. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 15 million abortions. Michael Novak had calculated “Since the number of current living Blacks (in the U.S.) is 31 million, the missing 10 million represents an enormous loss, for without abortion, America’s Black community would now number 41 million  Caucasian abortions are estimated at 40 million deaths.

    Hitler had six million Jews, and more than five million non-Jews murdered under the Nazi regime. Among them were Gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, and blacks.

    Auto accidents in 2016 killed 40,200 in figures released by the National Safety Council.

    Spikes in gun violence in major cities like Chicago, newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in 2016, there were more than 38,000 gun-related deaths in the U.S. Much of the killing revolves around drug gang wars.

    The National Drug Threat Assessment provides a yearly assessment of the many challenges local communities face related to drug abuse and drug trafficking. Drug poisoning deaths are the leading cause of injury death in the United States; they are currently at their highest ever recorded level and, every year since 2011, have outnumbered deaths by firearms, motor vehicle crashes, suicide, and homicide.

    2017 DEA Drug Threat Report: has been made public and Mexico is the greatest heroin source with most illegal drugs coming across our border with Mexico from 6 major drug cartels. The 182 page comprehensive report covers twenty sections. Heroin-involved overdose deaths more than quadrupled between 2010 and 2015, with the most recent data indicating that heroin was involved in 12,989 American deaths in 2015 increasing to about 2000 deaths per year to about 17,000 in 2017..Note: .I have yet to see our National TV  fake news mention this

    Mexican cartels remain the greatest criminal drug threat in the United States. The cartels are the principal wholesale drug sources for domestic gangs responsible for street-level distribution in virtually every city in the US. The Sinaloa Cartel maintains the most expansive footprint in the United States while the Jalisco New Generation Cartel has increased its presence across the United States.

    Mexico’s drug wars have claimed more than 80,000 lives between 2006 and 2015, according to analyst estimates in the 2015 Congressional Research Service report. Beheadings, mass executions, public hangings and torture — it’s all part of the massive drug war next door. Fierce rivalries between Mexico’s drug cartels have wreaked havoc on the lives of civilians who have nothing to do with the drug trade. Bystanders, people who refused to join cartels, migrants, journalists and government officials have been killed. Mexican Cartels control the drug trade making an estimated 29 billion dollars profit per year enabling them to buy off politicians and key members of the news. Many US politicians show their opposition to building a wall that would slow the drug trade and help stop the slaughter.

    Mexico is the provider of 70 % of the heroin to the United States, followed by Colombia to a much  lesser degree.

    Mexican-based transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) dominate the supply and wholesale distribution of most illicit drugs in the United States. About 70% of all illicit drugs consumed in the United States are trafficked through Mexico, TCOs, and have expanded their control over the drug-trafficking conducted by criminal street gangs in their respective territories. Zetas: Juan Gerardo Treviño-Chávez is leading the cartel.

    Mexican TCOs maintain the greatest drug trafficking impudence in the United States, with continued signs of growth and expansion. By controlling lucrative smuggling corridors, primarily across the Southwest Border, Mexican TCOs export significant quantities of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, and fentanyl into the U.S. annually. Once these illicit drugs are smuggled into the U.S., they are delivered to user markets through transportation routes and distribution cells that are managed or influenced by Mexican TCOs. Illegal immigrants are often forced to bring drugs into the US by the Mexican Cartels that control the border. Over the past several years, Mexican TCOs have expanded their sphere of influence into numerous regions of the United States.

    The most significant illicit drug threat posed to the US is by Mexican TCOs grown heroin, which dominate the wholesale supply of crystal methamphetamine, cocaine, Mexican-grown marijuana, and heroin.

    A veritable war on drugs has erupted in Mexico with the Calderon government attempting to rid the country of organized crime. Drug violence within Mexico recorded 29,168 murders in 2017. The fighting between the Cartels and the Mexican government continues at a high rate spilling into US cities. The billions of dollars in profits are laundered in American Banks such as Wachovia Bank that laundered 379 Billion Dollars over several years. These profits are used to pay off or threaten politicians and the news to keep the flow of drugs coming.

    Heroin poses a serious public health and safety threat to the United States. Overdose deaths, already at high levels, continue to rise. The increased mixing of heroin with analogues of the highly-potent synthetic opioid fentanyl and other synthetic opioids has exacerbated this situation. Fentanyl is increasingly mixed with diluents and sold as heroin, often with no heroin present in the product. Fentanyl also continues to be made more widely available in the form of counterfeit prescription pills marketed for illicit street sales.

    Most Significant Mexican TCOs Currently Active in the United States

    . As of 2016, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) assesses the following six Mexican TCOs, as controlling the drug trafficking t on the U.S:

    The Mexican Cartels have drug distribution cells in cities across the U S that report directly to TCO leaders in Mexico.

    Heroin poses a serious public health and safety threat to the United States. Overdose deaths, already exceed a thousand+ young Americans per month. The increasing adulteration of heroin with analogues of the highly-potent synthetic opioid fentanyl and other synthetic opioids has exacerbated this situation. Poppy cultivation and heroin production levels in Mexico, the primary source of heroin for the U.S. market, continue to increase. The heroin supply in white powder markets in the eastern U.S, is highly pure, inexpensive, and increasingly adulterated with fentanyl. While the size of the heroin user population is smaller than other major drugs, heroin is highly deadly to its users.

    The Drug poisoning of Americans continues to increase with no help from the news media or city governments. Heroin availability has expanded to unprecedented levels in recent years making heroin available at low cost • Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the US in 2016 , with 52,404 deaths, increasing to 64,000 in 2017+ Additionally, many killings and robberies are tied to the desperate need for money to buy the drugs. By the end of his presidency on January 20, 2017, Barack Obama had exercised his constitutional power to grant executive clemency—that is, “pardon, to 1,927 individuals most of whom were convicted of federal drug crimes.

    Many illegal immigrants are forced to bring in heroin and illegal drugs by the Mexican Cartels to various American cities as payment for being allowed to enter the US.  Mexican cartels remain the greatest criminal drug threat in the United States. The cartels are the principal wholesale drug sources for domestic gangs responsible for street-level distribution. Many politicians are supporting the drug trade by refusing to allow the police who capture drug criminals to report to ICE. The Sinaloa Cartel maintains the most expansive footprint in the United States while the Jalisco New Generation Cartel has increased its presence across the United States.

    In comparison the U.S. first invaded Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. US military deaths over sixteen years of fighting in the War in Afghanistan as of October 2017 have now reached.1,834 about ten deaths per month as the result of hostile action. The Mexican drug war not covered by the news media kills thousands of young people each month. Perhaps we are fighting the wrong war? Thanks to http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2017/11/2017-drug-threat-reportrcq-leads.html

    The United States is at war with numerous advisories who are setting fires and conducting sabotage. Wildfires are costing billions of dollars in damage with thousands of burned homes. Wind speeds were only 30 to 42 MPH as the multiple PS&G lines started to come down allegedly starting the fires. Downed power lines normally do not start fires. An illegal Mexican alien was arrested for starting fires Fabian Gonzalez, who immigration officials said has been returned twice to Mexico, told deputies he set a fire in Maxwell Farms Park in Sonoma where 10,000 homes and structures were burned and 44 killed.  He is charged with one felony count of arson, stated Sgt. Spencer Crum but not the major fire. The 2017 California wildfire season is the most destructive one on record, which saw a total of 9,133 fires that burned 1,381,405 acres (5,590.35 km2), according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

    The news media is not satisfactorily covering various slaughters and sabotage. Multiple witnesses claim firing was coming from multiple windows in hotels in Las Vegas on October 2, 2017. Stephen Paddock is blamed for the massacre of 58 people from his

    Mandalay Bay room shown at far left. Two windows in separate rooms in the hotel had their windows broken out suggesting more shooters. Multiple witnesses and video shows a helicopter landing on the hotel roof immediately after the shooting stopped and armed personnel jumping in above the floors controlled by Saudi Arabia. Do not expect the news to provide the truth about key stories. Watch the news and count how many killings they cover in each city each day essentially honoring the killers. Almost every advertisement pushes some drug or potions that will allegedly heal your problems. Seldom is any news report patriotic or encouraging high moral standards. The six corporations that collectively control U.S. media today are Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., CBS Corporation and NBC Universal. these gigantic media corporations do not exist to objectively tell the truth to the American people.  Rather, the primary purpose of their existence is to make money.

    These gigantic media corporations are not going to do anything to threaten their relationships with their biggest advertisers, the largest pharmaceutical companies that literally spend billions on advertising. One way or another these gigantic media corporations are always going to express the ideological viewpoints of their owners. The percentage of married households with children has plummeted from 44.3 percent to 20.2 percent since 1960, while the actual number – now 23.6 million – has stayed flat,

    Fortunately, an increasing number of Americans are starting to wake up and are realizing that the mainstream media should not be trusted. According to a new poll just released by Gallup, the number of Americans that have little to no trust in the mainstream media (57%) is at an all-time high. All the national news I watch is against building a wall or stopping the drug cartels. Why does the news carry thousands of exciting stories of shootings and killings. Then every policeman who shoots someone in the line of duty is shown repeatedly shooting an alleged unarmed man for years. Much of the news is designed to divide America and incite riots. In cities such as Chicago, roving packs of young people are “mob robbing” local businesses, randomly assaulting tourists and shoppers and are even pulling people out of vehicles. The young watching the news are learning that the news will glorify their acts of violence and blame the police.

    While politicians have spent several trillion dollars on foreign wars, they’ve distracted us from the very real threat that can be found in our own homes, targeting our families. In 1997, the United States became one of only two developed countries on the planet that made it legal for pharmaceutical companies to advertise drugs directly to consumers, including children. Since then prescription drug addiction and prescription drug overdoses have quadrupled.
    We now have a generation of young adults who grew up with a drug dealer living in their homes 24/7 – the television, magazines and internet pushing pills as a solution to every imaginable condition.

    Opioids can include both prescription drugs such as hydrocodone or oxycodone as well as illegal drugs like heroin or street fentanyl which are much cheaper. An estimated 2.1 million people were addicted to heroin or prescription painkillers last year, a number that has remained fairly constant since 2011. The number of people who had fatal overdoses related to heroin has skyrocketed from 2,089 in 2002 to an estimated 13,219 in 2016 — a 533% jump

    According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drug overdoses are the leading cause of accidental death in America, killing more people than guns or car accidents.

    It’s a trend that doesn’t appear to be reversing course. The CDC estimates that there were more than 52,000 overdose deaths for 2016 and projects that number to climb 38% to over 71,000 in 2017.. In fact, the number of overdose deaths related to merely fentanyl is expected to more than double, from an estimated 9,945 in 2016 to 20,145 in 2017, the CDC says.

    The CDC is also seeing a trend in overdose deaths related to cocaine, which have increased steadily from over 4,000 in 2009 to over 6,700 in 2015. The agency expects that number to rise to over 6,900 in 2016 and then to make a 52% jump to almost 11,000 in 2017.The number of heroin users in the United States jumped from 404,000 in 2002 to 948,000 in 2016, a 135% increase. But even more striking: The number of people who had fatal overdoses related to heroin has skyrocketed from 2,089 in 2002 to an estimated 13,219 in 2016 — a 533% jump.

    Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Tom Price said more American lives are lost to drugs than were lost in Vietnam. The US military saw 58,000 casualties during Vietnam; this year, drug overdose deaths are expected to reach an all-time high of 71,600.

    “This is unacceptable,” said Price, who was part of a panel that released the latest findings from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health on Thursday.

    The discrepancy between increased overdoses and steady use levels has public health officials concerned about just how potent the Mexican illegal drugs are becoming.

    What’s in today’s drug supply is really terrifying,” said Richard Baum, acting director of the White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy who is also part of the panel releasing the new report.

    According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drug overdoses are the leading cause of accidental death in America, killing more people than guns or car accidents.

    Opioids continue to be the drivers for these overdoses, including both legally prescribed prescription painkillers as well as illegal drugs. In fact, the number of overdose deaths related to Mexican fentanyl is expected to more than double, from an estimated 9,945 in 2016 to 20,145 in 2017, the CDC says.

     The CDC is also seeing a trend in overdose deaths related to cocaine, which have increased steadily from over 4,000 in 2009 to over 6,700 in 2015. The agency expects that number to rise to over 6,900 in 2016 and then to make a 52% jump to almost 11,000 cocaine-related deaths this year.  Kolodny said. Nov 22, 2017 – Mexican drug cartel super-labs, and an ongoing prescription painkiller boom, are set to drive up overdose death rates in California by 50 percent; the average purity of methamphetamine has climbed from 39 to almost 93 percent; and the average purity of Fentanyl has risen from 5 percent to 90 percent.

    All forms of opioid use caused the death of 64,000 Americans last year.

    Most of the fentanyl is being smuggled from Mexico into the country “through the porous border” by foot, by car, and even by “catapults.” … Many of the people dying of drug overdoses don’t realize they were ingesting powerful painkiller, which may be 50 times more potent than it used to be.

    My Coroner friend tells me almost all the deaths he investigates are youngsters in their twenties with syringes in their arms with an overdose of deadly Mexican  drug. What they could handle two weeks ago kills them.

    There is some good news, the U.S. convicted nearly 500 human traffickers and 1,200 gang members, and helped our international allies arrest about 4,000 MS-13 members. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also arrested and charged hundreds of people suspected with contributing to the ongoing opioid crisis.

    UFO Sightings in the United States

    Alabama Triangle

    Somerville — On January 16, 2018, at 9:05 PM, my girlfriend and I had pulled into her driveway and I noticed a very bright flickering light in the southeastern part of the sky about two miles away. We noticed it stopped flickering in the same spot for another minute or two. It started to move in our direction very quickly. My girlfriend was kind of freaking out as it got closer and flew over the neighbor’s house right in front of us. We could only see the three lights it had giving it a triangular shape. It had a white and red blinking light as well. It moved very quietly making little sound. It was only 200 feet above us. No pilot would fly that low in this mountainous area at night. That is insane . It continued northwest and flew over dodging the mountain itself by making slight turns and may have landed on that mountain. It had red flashing light similar to the ones on real planes. This plane can quietly create an extreme amount of light from miles away, fly very low, maneuver through mountains at night. I have a video showing the object flying by. It was close enough to shoot with a BB gun and it really wasn’t that big. I t can’t really explain what it really was.

    Note: The craft is quite likely an airplane. Give that it was close and silent it could have been a secret military craft. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

    California Object

    Claremont Trails — I went hiking on January 22, 2018 at about 10:30am I was on the west side of the Mountain/Trails (facing Los Angeles) when I noticed a shiny object in the sky. The sun would reflect off it from time to time. At first I thought it could be a drone at a distance or a silver type of weather balloon but upon closer inspection I realized it was big and metallic. It was hovering/floating around in the same area for a little while. I grabbed an Samsung Camera which has 35 X Optimization and snapped a few pictures. Once I snapped a few good pics I realized the object was shaped more like a triangle like the letter A. Eventually, It started to move east in a floating erratic style. I eventually lost sight of it as it went over the mountains. The object definitely felt like it was out of this world. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Colorado Lights

    Morrison –A triangular set of three lights were observed for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute before vanishing on January 17, 2018..

    They were captured on video. They appeared to remain motionless,. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Florida Light

    Lakeland — Me and my husband were walking out of Wal-Mart and I noticed a full moon so that attracted me to look at the moon on October 21, 2018. I then noticed a bright object around the clouds moving in a triangular pattern in and around the clouds under the moon. At first I thought it could be a reflection from lights but then thought it was way to high for a reflection from lights. I then saw the object move and decided to take pictures. It really looked like a space ship. I figured it could be a plane but planes don’t maneuver like this object did. It finally went behind the clouds and we didn’t see it anymore. We then left the parking lot. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Georgia Light

    Warner Robbins — This will be the third UFO I’ve reported since October. My sister who was aware of my previous sightings, was keeping an eye in the sky on January 18, 2018 and saw the same object. She called and told us to look outside and there it was. The same bright light everyone else has seen, only mine was tainted slightly by a street light.

    After the light started to fade I was able to see what looked like the silhouette of a triangle. I couldn’t get video in time so I snapped a quick photo. My husband who is active duty military also saw it just as it took off fast. Never seen anything like it. Soon after fighters were launched and there was an odd military jet I’ve never seen flying low over head.  I noticed what looked like fighters circling the airspace. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Missouri Lights

    St, Peters — Went outside to let my dog have a potty break, and heard a sound. Turned around and saw a triangular shaped craft moving fairly quickly on January 20, 2018.. I pulled out my phone I opened the camera/video app as quickly as possible and then magnified the image capture as much as I could. It sounded sort of like a jet, but I’ve never witnessed a craft with that sort of shape before. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Nevada Lights

    Las Vegas — I was standing on sidewalk of Frank Sinatra Drive facing south when I noticed a plane making  a chemtrail that was thicker and whiter than usual. I followed it until it was just right above me, when I noticed what appeared to look like a bunch of balloons above the planes path. I realized that were very shiny, metallic layer on them and that they were perfect spheres, and that they were the same size of the plane flying by with the chemtrail, but higher up. The objects were in a mass group with the spheres in the front and pill-like objects towards the rear. The plane with the trail, was traveling northeast while the objects were in perfect line.. I was overwhelmed at the time but managed to capture some photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    New Jersey Diamond

    1. Waterford Works — I was on my rear deck taking pics of this odd object during sunset on January 20. 2018.
      ..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..CMS

    Pennsylvania Disc

    Telford — I took many photos with a Sony cyber shot WiFi camera of a beautiful sunset so I took advantage of the scenery with flash on and off on January 20, 2018. . When I got home to post like normal I noticed a spot in almost all pictures during a ten minute period, during that period geese in a v formation flew by and clouds went by but this object was unmoved, no matter my ever changing angles. I looked at these photos closer on a new computer and cannot deny there is definitely a hovering object in the shots. To further check out the photos I over exposed some and the clouds disappear but it shows up even more defined. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Tennessee Orbs

    Springfield — Was taking pictures of the sun because the shape looked different than usual and noticed this object in several of them on December 13, 2017. Plus another shadow of what looks like the sun reflecting off the clouds. Obviously this ufo was moving as the appearance of the smaller outer balls on the larger ufo ball was changing. This same object was seen back in 2014 in Virginia and also somewhere else both day and night photos and videos which were uploaded to Youtube, one on witness101 (mine), another on ufov2012.  Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Texas Light

    Galveston — On Christmas morning around 8:30 am, my husband and I were driving down Seawall Blvd. and stopped facing the pier, I  got out and take pictures of the sunrise with my apple iPhone. Later that evening when I was reviewing the, I noticed the greenish orb on 3 of the pictures. It was moving eastward and upward when compared to the clouds. When I enlarge the object, I am able to see a grid pattern and what is either windows or some type of white orbs docked on it. I do notice in the succeeding pictures the white lights or orbs seems to be moving around the green object and are not stationary.
    Neither of us saw this large object with our eyes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Washington Lights

    Seattle to Las Vegas — About 3:40 pm,–on January 11,-2018, in-flight on Spirit Airlines I was taking scenery pictures on the mostly clear, late afternoon, although there was intermittent cloud cover below. Suddenly I briefly saw an object coming our way much closer than other aircraft. I thought it had to be an airplane coming too close, but I never saw what looked like an aircraft. I quickly got a few pictures without focusing. It went by and I was wondering, what did I just see? It may have come from Area 51… We touched down in Las Vegas 35 minutes after seeing the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    West Virginia Orb

    1. Charleston,.
      2. look outside car window
      3. “it’s weird”, “I am going to take a picture of it”
      4. It’s ring like as it flies across the sky.
      5. I just took the picture. didn’t thought too much about it.
      6. it went behind a cloud.

    Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Worldwide UFO Sightings

    Australia Bright Light

    Mount Mackay National Park –The event happened while I was living in a small converted garage with a friend.. I got into bed to go to sleep about 9:30 pm, but could not fall asleep was because I was afraid! I had the distinct feeling of being watched!
    I immediately sat up in bed and could clearly see Mount Mackay, and silhouetted against the night sky. I saw a lone bright  star above the mountain that was way too bright to be a star. It was illuminating the hillside forest and intensity of the full moon. “That’s not a star, that’s a UFO…” To my astonishment, the object immediately moved to the left and down at a constant speed. I am convinced it had been monitoring me and my thoughts. The object disappeared behind the mountain. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Canada Lights

    Camarillo – At 6:20 pm, on December 22, /2017 an aircraft split into two dragging an unknown device behind it . The device was emitting concentric circle smoke rings and it’s smoke trail looked as if it was multi colored and had its own light source. Thanks to UFOINFO Joe Romano.

    Etobicoke — I was on my balcony with a friend on our 5th floor looking out and saw a bright red bulb moving towards us , on January 20, 2018. It was high up travelling NE. We live close to the airport and overhead planes are frequent however never this shape, brightness, or color. We continued to watch it come closer overhead when we noticed a second orb-sphere travelling behind the first. Then came a third, and fourth. In total more than 10 passed over us silently pulsating red then bright white, then red. moving at a steady pace.
    After the 6th orb I ran in to get the phone to capture a video.. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    France Lights

    Rognac –Seen on December 22, 2017, around 7:30 pm, while I was walking my dog, 4 orange balls rise from behind the hill of the city where I am staying.

    I was immediately struck by their luminosity, their perfect alignment, one behind the other, at a perfectly equal distance also intrigued me a lot!

    Without a sudden movement, they traveled a few meters before melting into the sky and disappearing completely. Attached, one of the pictures taken that day, or 3 balls are still visible, one of them having already disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Russia Orb

    The video was shot using a video surveillance camera, at night through a window. The field of view of the video camera was about 60 degrees, with the video stream of 20 frames per second. The sky was clear and the stars were visible on the video.
    The UFO moved south through the zenith, the video camera facing south. A bright white light in the form of a sphere was captured. The flight speed is too high for a satellite and too slow for the meteor if we assume that the object was in orbit. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    UK/England Orbs

    Tandragee — 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 parlor on April 17, 2017. I stood and looked when another one appeared to the right of it. I ran and got my 19 year old daughter and partner, When they came out a 3rd one appeared again to the right of the first two. I got my phone and took a video but it didn’t pick them up.

    I took a photo about 5 minutes later the second disappeared then the first. I zoomed in the two white spheres appeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

    Mysterious Google Maps of ‘UFO landing is PROOF aliens have landed on Earth’

    A BIZARRE Google Maps sighting is being hailed as proof aliens have landed on Earth.

    By Rachel O'Donoghue 

    The satellite image is of a strange circular piece of land in Argentina, which conspiracists think is a hiding place for a massive UFO.

    And these so-called believers are not the only ones to be baffled by this area of the capital city, Buenos Aires.

    The Ojo de la Tierra also has members of the scientific community confused because it is a small island that is perfectly round.

    The disc of land measuring 118 metres in diameter also rotates by itself – something that has led perplexed experts to describe it as a phenomenon unlike nothing else.

    Ojo de la Tierra

    GETTY

    PROOF: It is claimed the Ojo de la Tierra is proof of aliens

    Ojo de la Tierra

    GOOGLE MAPS

    MYSTERY: Ojo de la Tierra is a mysterious rotating island in Argentina

    “The shape is large and circular, big enough to fit a 100 meter UFO through it”

    Ufologist

    And now so-called “truthers” are saying the reason it cannot be explained is because it’s extraterrestrial.

    The island – located at coordinates 34 ° 15'07.8'S 58 ° 49'47.4 “W – it is claimed is actually a spaceship.

    Scott C. Waring on website UFO Sighting Daily said of the natural phenomenon: “Argentina has an overabundance of UFO sightings compared to the rest of the world and I believe this is how aliens try to hide this particular entrance to their base.

    “The shape is large and circular, big enough to fit a 100 meter UFO through it.

    “The water below this floating island needs to be dove [sic] into and explored.”

    Just days ago, ufologists claimed Google Maps provided further proof of aliens.

    Netizens shared images from the satellite service showing what they claimed is an “alien HQ”.

    The World's 8 Best Places To Hunt For Extraterrestrials And Search For UFO's - PART I

      

    For Forbes by Alex Ries (All rights reserved)
    Future concept of Alien expedition by artist Alex Ries

    It was a clear summer afternoon in Lake Tahoe, California in the late 70's when I saw my first UFO. The rough-hewn cigar-shaped craft hovered for a long period of time at a distance over the lake. It was so obvious that all of my neighbors joined me on the street watching it until it suddenly disappeared. Despite over a dozen witnesses, it was never reported, most people keep UFO experiences to themselves for fear of being labeled crazy.  According to the National UFO Reporting Center, there were over 4,881 reported sightings in the United States in 2017, imagine how many were not reported.

    What was once a subject of clandestine conversation has now become an international fascination with tourists visiting famed sighting areas and governments from around the world organizing extensive exploration. Even the U.S. Pentagon admitted it ran a secret program to investigate sightings by military pilots of countless unidentified flying objects. The Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program officially ended six years ago, but many believe the program is still active.

    My fascination with the unknown compelled me to explore unique areas from around the world where visitors can discover the mysteries of the universe, as well as be entertained by historical sightings. Here are my 8 favorite locations for your own out of this world experience.

    CHILE

    Chile is often mentioned as the country with the highest recorded number of UFO sightings. Due to its low humidity, high altitude ridges, and clear skies with little pollution, Chile has become a favorite among UFO-seekers from around the world.

    The country has even launched the CEFAA (Committee for Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA), a government body which investigates UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) under the control of the Chilean Air Force.

    Paranal Observatory- Northern Chile

    Located in the Atacama Desert of Chile, ESO’s Paranal Observatory is one of the best astronomical observing sites in the world and is the flagship location for Europes ground-based astronomy. It contains several major telescopes including the Very Large Telescope, the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy, and the VLT Survey Telescope.

    The ESO Hotel and La Residencia adjacent to Paranal Observatory provide accommodation for staff and media only. Tourists are not allowed to stay overnight. In order to visit the observatory, it is a two-hour drive from Cerro Moreno airport and opens on weekends only with an advance reservation.

    ALMA Observatory

    ALMA Observatory is the most ambitious radio observatory on Earth. Unlike optic telescopes, radio telescopes are designed to capture radio waves emitted by sources in space. This is a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that allows researchers to take a closer look at the Universe. ALMA has 66 antennas: fifty-four 12-meter diameter antennas and twelve 7-meter diameter antennas.

    It is open every Saturday and Sunday to members of the public who want to visit its facilities located in northern Chile (30 miles from San Pedro de Atacama). Visitors get to see the ALMA Operations Support Facility (OSF), where ALMA personnel work and where you can observe the control room, laboratories, and the antenna transporter. The area of Chajnantor Plateau (where the massive number of antennas are located) are not open to visitors.

    Go Chile
    El Enladrillado UFO landing area

    San Clemente UFO Trail

    San Clemente, Chile is considered to be the unofficial UFO capital of the world. Researchers say that hundreds of UFO sightings have been reported there, as much as one per week. So popular is the area that the Chilean tourism board established an official UFO trail in 2008. The 19-mile trail runs through the Andes mountains covering sights where close encounters have been reported. Included in the experience are Colbún Lake, which has proved popular with UFOs because of its high mineral content, along with various areas highlighting historic sightings. But the trail's must-see location is El Enladrillado, a huge, bizarre flat area formed by 200 perfectly cut volcanic blocks that were reportedly laid by ancient civilizations. It takes four hours to get to the location on horseback and is believed by many to be a landing pad for extraterrestrials.

    Elqui Domos Astronomical Hotel

    Elqui Domos Astronomical Hotel is a small 10-year-old hotel located in the heart of the Elqui Valley, a narrow valley stretched in between the Andes Mountains. The hotel is equipped with a restaurant, an astronomical observatory, an outdoor pool and 11 air-conditioned and centrally-heated rooms. The rooms are divided into 7 geodesic domes and 4 observatory-style cabins.

    The domes have a private bathroom, a living room on the first floor and a bed on a mezzanine floor, from where you can uncover the roof of the domes and search the skies.

    The Elqui Valley is well known for its perfectly clear skies and nice weather, as well as for its great potential for UFO spotting and studying astronomy.

    WILTSHIRE, ENGLAND

    Mysterious patterns have appeared in the fields of Wiltshire, just one mile from the equally bizarre Stonehenge. Many sightings have occurred here including a large disc-shaped object hovering above the site. The prehistoric monument includes a ring of massive stones dating back to around 3100 BC and is listed as a World Heritage site. Supporters of the theory that ancient aliens built the landmark also consider the area a landing pad for spaceships or a location marker for extraterrestrials.

    AREA 51, NEVADA (S4 Papoose Mountain Facility)

    This U.S. military installation is located almost 100 miles north of Las Vegas and is commonly known to UFO conspiracy theorists as a location the U.S. government refused to acknowledge. They believe that the area is a storage facility for the examination of a crashed alien spacecraft including its occupants both living and dead as well as materials recovered at Roswell. They also believe the area is used to manufacture aircraft based on alien technology.

    Some UFOlogists are now claiming a secret underground facility has been discovered in the base of the Papoose Mountains, in Lincoln County, Nevada, where recovered alien space crafts and extraterrestrial beings are kept hidden away and no longer at Area 51.

    PLANETXV UFO Hunting Trip

    This tour takes you to locations near the famed Area 51, departing from Las Vegas for nighttime explorations. Area 51 is a highly classified remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base so visitors are limited on how close they can get.

    Visit Sedona

    SEDONA, ARIZONA

    Sedona, Arizona is one of America's most popular destinations for spotting U.F.O.s. Nightly tours go out with visitors equipped with night vision glasses, binoculars, and telescopes. The amount of activity recorded is staggering including reported sightings of; Orbs, portals, aliens, and even Bigfoots all within the high desert.

    The mysterious Bradshaw Ranch also draws numerous tourists. Located deep within the national forest, it is reported to have been confiscated by the U.S. Government because it housed one of the most powerful inter-dimensional portals on the planet. Visitors are not allowed in the National Forest at night, but several tour operators will take you there and stay until dusk. According to accounts, it’s in the last hour of twilight when many of these phenomena take place. There are even more outrageous reports of a top-secret underground base at the ranch as well as an elaborate tunnel system, possibly used by both extraterrestrials and the U.S. military.

    Sedona UFO Tours

    This tour begins with a two-hour meditation walk starting at the Amitabha Stupa, Sedona’s most spiritual vortex. Guides will take you through a guided meditation and even offer a paranormal video tour.  After sunset, you can visit a well known hot spot of UFO activity where the company guarantees sightings of UFO’s, using special night vision goggles.

    WYCLIFFE WELL, AUSTRALIA

    UFOs are not an uncommon sight in Wycliffe Well. They are known to appear at the beginning of the dry season, from May to October. Wycliffe Well is located in the Northern Territory along the Stuart Highway between Alice Springs and Tennant Creek and considers itself the UFO capital of Australia. Wycliffe Well is said to be one of the top five UFO hotspots in the world and guarantees a sighting every couple of days. Visitors can stay in cabins at the Wycliffe Well Holiday Park located 236 miles from Alice Springs.

    M TRIANGLE, RUSSIA

    This famous Perm Anomalous Zone is located in a remote area near the Ural Mountains in Russia. The M Triangle is one of the most mysterious places in the world and was discovered in the 1980s. Reports of watches that stop, and bright glowing and colored lightning appearing in the sky. Ufologists consider this a sign of underground fractures where strong energy emits. This wave duct for electromagnetic energy usually results in color, sound, and other phenomena.

    The village of Molyobka sits on the border of the Perm and Sverdlovsk regions. Opposite the village, on the left bank of the Sylva River, is the famous Molyobka Triangle. When Perm geologist Emil Bachurin found a circular, 206-foot impression in the snow in the 80's, the location quickly became a location for enthusiasts to explore Yetis, UFOs, shining spheres, and plasmoids.

    The area is currently developing a UFO park, and local businesses are building hotels and observatories for tourists as well as installing gravity meters, infrared cameras, and magnetic-field sensors. UFO tourism is also popular in nearby Tolyatti, where visitors can see some of the world’s largest crop circles.

    Contact in the Desert
    Joshua Tree Sunset

    JOSHUA TREE, CALIFORNIA

    Joshua Tree is on 29 Palms Highway, about a three-hour drive from LAX. The area is known to have many underground waterways all featuring a high mineral content. Joshua Tree National Park was once home to 300 mines and includes a unique white crystal quartz hill behind Giant Rock. Visitors often go searching for the hidden alien base that is rumored to be located somewhere beneath the expansive desert.

    UFOlogists believe that Joshua Tree sits on the 33rd North parallel just like Roswell. The research behind the 33rd North parallel provides the location for the most UFO sightings.

    Joshua Tree expedition with UFOlogist Dr. Steven Greer

    Dr. Steven Greer is a controversial UFOlogist who founded the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) and the Disclosure Project, which seeks the disclosure of allegedly suppressed UFO information. Each week-long expedition is limited to about 25 and includes an intensive training program with Dr. Greer. At night the group meets under the stars for 4-5 hours to make contact using Greer's CE-5 Contact Protocols. During the intensive training program, visitors learn how to make contact with ET civilizations and how to really become an Ambassador to the Universe.

    Contact in the Desert

    For the past five years, UFO researchers ranging from professionals to fans converge on the California High Desert for a long weekend of lectures and workshops on the unexplained. The Woodstock of UFOlogy is a weekend of education into the Science of UFOs & Extraterrestrial Life, Ancient Aliens, Human Origins, Crop Circles, Government Disclosure, UFO Sightings and Interplanetary Living.

    Roswell UFO Festival
    UFO Festival in Roswell

    ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO

    Roswell has been at the heart of the UFO scene since July 1947 when the military announced it had found the remains of a crashed UFO in the desert nearby. Ever since the legendary Roswell UFO crash of July 1947 alien conspiracy theorists have claimed the remains of a flying saucer, and even dead aliens, were secretly taken into storage.

    Visits to the crash sites are difficult to navigate deep in the desert, so many tourists visit the Roswell Spacewalk and the International UFO Museum and Research Center.

    Roswell UFO Festival

    Every Fourth of July weekend the city of Roswell organizes the UFO Festival, a celebration of all things extraterrestrial. Thousands of people meet on Main Street for the Comic-Con of UFO devotees. Costume contests, and a long weekend of lectures and book signings put on by Roswell’s International UFO Museum.

    PROFESSIONAL ALIEN EXPLORATION 

    Aside from the numerous tourist locations around the world, the scientific community is ramping up efforts to discover the unknown and to hopefully make contact with extraterrestrials. The following are the top satellite and research programs that are currently active with a few offering tourists to visit their facilities.

    Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite

    A planned space telescope for NASA's Explorers program, designed to search for exoplanets using the transit method is planned to launch in March 2018. The conclusion is that Europa or Enceladus are both possible life planets as well as the discovery of Kepler-452b. It is the first near-Earth-size world to be found in the habitable zone of a star that is similar to our sun. And, in 2015, NASA announced strong evidence that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars.

    The James Webb Space Telescope is a large infrared telescope with a 6.5-meter primary mirror.  The telescope will be launched on an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana in Spring 2019 and will study the formation of solar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth.

    The Nexus for Exoplanet System Science

    NExSS) is a NASA research coordination network dedicated to the study of planetary habitability.  The goals of NExSS are to investigate the diversity of exoplanets and to learn how their history, geology, and climate interact to create the conditions for life.

    Project Breakthrough Initiatives 

    Billionaire Yuri Milner, physicist Stephen Hawking, and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg have launched the $100 million Breakthrough Listen program.  The program is focused on astronomical observations in search of evidence of intelligent life beyond Earth. It is by far the most comprehensive search ever undertaken for artificial radio and optical signals encompassing a complete survey of the 1,000,000 nearest stars, the plane and center of our galaxy, and the 100 nearest galaxies. 

    UFO taskforce, GEIPAN - France

    The CNES French Space Agency service is funded by the French government. Its mission is to collect reports of UFO or UAP (Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena) sightings that have occurred over the French territory, to provide an explanation when possible, and to answer questions from the public.

    Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)- California

    SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence is located in Mountain View, California and seeks evidence of life in the universe by looking for some signature of its technology. More than 90 scientists work at the Institute looking for life beyond Earth. The Allen Telescope is sometimes available for tours and is located 350 miles North of the Institute.

    UC Observatory
    Great Refractor Telescope in California

    Nickel Telescope- California

    UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley have given the Lick Observatory's 40-inch Nickel Telescope a new pulse-detection system capable of finding laser beacons from civilizations many light-years away. The automated planet finder (APF) is the world's first robotic telescope capable of detecting rocky planets that might support life in other solar systems. Located one hour from San Jose in the Santa Clara Valley, visitors are allowed inside the dome of the36-inch great refractor Thursday-Sunday.

    Pan-STARRS Telescope- Hawaii

    Operated by the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii. A strange oblong asteroid named Oumuamua was recently detected by Pan-STARRS through its collection of telescopes perched high above the Hawaiian island of Maui. The SETI Institute began scanning Oumuamua with its Allen Telescope Array on Nov. 23, 2017. So far, they have spent 60 hours checking for transmissions over a wide range of frequencies. Another SETI project, Breakthrough Listen, will soon devote 10 hours to investigating Oumuamua using a large antenna in West Virginia.

    FAST
    Aperture Spherical Telescope in China

    Aperture Spherical Telescope – China

    Chinas five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), is located in a rural part of China’s Guizhou province and will be used to try to solve some of the universe’s biggest mysteries. One of its primary missions is to detect communication signals or messages from alien civilizations.

    The Pentagon Is Hunting for UFOs. Guess How Much It Costs.

    Another imaginative way to waste tax dollars.
    Camilo Gómez
     by  Camilo Gómez

    Last December, The New York Times broke the story about a secret Pentagon program that searches for UFOs. The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was a pet project of Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat and then-Senate majority leader. The program ran from 2007 to 2012 and cost $22 million.

    It was funded by “black money,” the term used for classified Pentagon programs. This explains why the project wasn’t public until this year because a public debate on the Senate floor wasn’t required in order to fund it. This story sounds less like reality, and more like an episode of The X-Files – the iconic 90s series which is currently airing its 11th and final season.

    The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program gave most of the money to Reid’s billionaire friend Robert Bigelow, who runs an aerospace research company that has worked with NASA. Since Bigelow was already a billionaire, the obvious question is: why can’t he couldn’t fund his own program?

    Government Has a Long-Running Love Affair with UFO Hunting

    The relationship between UFO searching and the US government is not new. It started in 1948 with a program by the United States Air Force called Project Sign, then it changed its name to Project Grudge. Then, in 1953, it became Project Blue Book for the next two decades. The program had two goals: to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security and to scientifically analyze UFO-related data.

    This hopefully will be the end of Martian hunting season at the taxpayers' expense

    In 1968, the Condon Report was published by the University of Colorado UFO Project, a group funded by the United States Air Force from 1966 to 1968 with the objective of studying unidentified flying objects under the direction of physicist Edward Condon. This was the result of researching the UFO files of Project Blue Book and from the civilian UFO groups and investigating sightings reported during the life of the Project.

    The conclusions of the Cordon Report were that UFOs are not a threat to national security, that unidentified sightings didn’t represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of modern science, and that there is no way to determine if UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin.

    In 1970, Project Blue Book came to an end, but that didn’t mean the government stopped funding the search for aliens. The SETI Institute, a non-profit organization founded in 1984, received funding from the government, but it stopped after the criticism as a waste of money without any relevant objective by two Democratic Senators, William Proxmire of Wisconsin and Richard Bryan of Nevada. But this was just the direct funding because it still received money from governmental institutions like NASA in the form of research grants.

    Someone could argue that $22 million for a program is not that much money. That being said, as Bryan put it when shutting down the budget of the SETI Institute: “This hopefully will be the end of Martian hunting season at the taxpayers' expense.” But it wasn’t.

    Do We Really Want Government Doing This?

    Searching for UFOs is just not the government’s business

    The American government has wasted money on silly things like birdwatching, changing sand in beaches, and funding a clown school in Argentina. However, the real clowns are the politicians that love to empty the pockets of the taxpayers. UFO searches sound like a more imaginative way to waste money, but it’s still not a legitimate government function.

    Besides, could we trust that if a government actually solves the UFO mystery, they would reveal it? It seems doubtful, given their love for secrecy. Plus, if UFOs really are of extraterrestrial origin, would we want to have politicians being the first to speak with an alien race?

    Aliens are going to have a bad first impression of us if the first humans they meet are government bureaucrats. Plus, politicians tend to be hawkish, so if they are first to contact an extraterrestrial civilization, the risk of war increases. Searching for UFOs is just not the government’s business. We all would be better off if we leave that task to the private sector.

    It’s never aliens — until it is

    2017 was a banner year for scientists seeking aliens — even though they (apparently) didn’t find any

    What do a strangely fading faraway star, an oddly shaped interstellar interloper in the solar system and a curious spate of UFO sightings by members of the U.S. military all have in common?

    They are all mysterious, for one thing — eye-catchingly weird, yet still just hazy outlines that let the imagination run wild. All have recently generated headlines as possible signs of life and intelligence beyond Earth, of some mind-bogglingly advanced alien culture revealing its existence at last to our relatively primitive and planetbound civilization. Yet their most salient shared trait so far is the certainty they provoke in most scientists, who insist these developments represent nothing so sensational. Ask a savvy astronomer or physicist about any of these oddities, and they will tell you, as they have time and time before: It’s not aliens. In fact, it’s never aliens.

    Far from being close-minded killjoys, most scientists in the “never aliens” camp desperately want to be convinced otherwise. Their default skeptical stance is a prophylactic against the wiles of wishful thinking, a dare to true believers to provide extraordinary evidence in support of extraordinary claims. What is really extraordinary, the skeptics say, is not so much the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence but rather the notion that its existence nearby or visitation of Earth could be something easily unnoticed or overlooked. If aliens are out there — or even right here—in abundance, particularly ones wildly advanced beyond our state, why would incontrovertible proof of that reality be so annoyingly elusive?

    To put it more succinctly, as the nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi did more than a half century ago, “Where are they?” Given a 10-billion-year-old galaxy filled with stars and planets, and an Earth less than half that age, Fermi guessed we are unlikely to be the first technological culture on the galactic stage. If just one spacefaring civilization predated our own in the Milky Way, he calculated, even moving at a very languorous pace it should have had more than enough time to visit, explore and colonize every planetary system in the galaxy.

    Ever since, practitioners of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) have been brainstorming about why we do not encounter glaringly obvious signposts of an interstellar diaspora: Maybe there are nigh-universal bottlenecks in the odds for the emergence of life, intelligence or high technology, and we are indeed alone. Maybe we are not alone at all, but interstellar travel is so hard that everyone just stays home. Maybe we are being quarantined, and UFOs are dronelike documentarians recording an intergalactic Planet Earth miniseries. Maybe our galaxy is bursting at the seams with alien civilizations, and we simply have not looked hard enough—presuming we are capable of properly looking at all. Even the know-it-alls in the “never aliens” crowd would concede the diversity of possible answers to Fermi’s question says more about our ignorance than our knowledge.

    One of Fermi’s SETI-pioneering peers, the physicist Freeman Dyson, once summarized the situation thus: “Our imaginings about the ways that aliens might make themselves detectable are always like stories of black cats in a dark room. If there are any real aliens, they are likely to behave in ways that we never imagined.” Even so, he added, “the failure of one guess does not mean that we should stop looking”—particularly because whatever may keep our skies alien-free would likely keep the rest of the universe free of star-trekking humans as well. Contemplating Fermi’s question is a way of exploring pathways to our possible futures. Finding aliens—or coming up empty in our searches—has profound implications for our own ultimate cosmic fate.

    That is something to keep in mind while considering the latest near-hits (or near-misses), detailed below, in the ongoing search for cosmic company.

    Dust busts "alien megastructures"

    Discovered in archival data from NASA’s Kepler space telescope in 2015 by the Louisiana State University astronomer Tabetha Boyajian, the extreme episodic dimming of “Tabby’s Star,” or “Boyajian’s Star,” inspired speculations it was being engulfed by starlight-absorbing “alien megastructures” (think: a solar power plant the size of a solar system). Those speculations helped Boyajian and colleagues launch a successful Kickstarter project that raised funding for further scrutiny of the star, an effort that jumped into overdrive in May 2017, when the star began another dimming episode. But instead of revealing aliens, those observations—and others from telescopes around the world—found the culprit is probably clouds of submicron-scale dust around the star.

    “If these dips were caused by solid, opaque objects, you’d expect them to block light equally at all colors. But we saw that the dips were deeper in blue [light] than they were in the red, which indicates that something more transparent, like dust, is crossing in front of the star,” Boyajian says. “How do we know it’s not solar panels absorbing blue light more efficiently than red light? Well, we don’t, but we do know dust is all over the universe in many different places, and what we now see is what we’d generally expect from dust.” The result mirrors that of another team led by the University of Arizona astronomer Huan Meng, which also flagged dust as the likely cause of the star’s odd behavior in October 2017.

    Even so, Jason Wright, an astronomer at The Pennsylvania State University who collaborates with Boyajian on studies of the star, cautions that much more work is needed as dust is not the only remaining explanation. Other possibilities—such as intrinsic fluctuations in the star’s luminosity or even a black hole with a cold and dusty debris disk drifting across our interstellar line of sight—could also still fit the data. In theory, Wright says, even the “aliens” hypothesis is still on the table—although only if their megastructures are improbably adept at mimicking “boring old dust.”

    “You don’t want to immediately cry ‘aliens’ like a boy crying wolf every time you see something and don’t understand it,” Wright says. “But with Tabby’s Star that’s not what has happened—she and her team have spent years trying to solve what is a legitimate astrophysical mystery.” The upside of all the public attention, Wright says, is that it has lured many astronomers to work on Tabby’s Star “precisely because all the ‘aliens’ talk annoyed them, and they wanted to find a natural explanation.”

    Eavesdropping on 'Oumuamua

    Astronomers spotted the sizeable object now called ‘Oumuamua (Hawaiian for “first messenger”) streaking by Earth last October. They determined by its speed and trajectory it had dive-bombed past our sun from the depths of interstellar space, perhaps after cruising through the void for billions of years. Theorists had long predicted icy comets cast away from other stars would someday be detected passing through our solar system, yet ‘Oumuamua did not act like a comet at all—despite passing blisteringly close to the sun, it never sprouted a cometlike tail of evaporating ice. It did not look like a comet either, appearing under telescopic scrutiny to be shaped like a half-kilometer-long needle—a form unknown among natural solar system objects but often favored by starships in science fiction. Perhaps, some SETI enthusiasts thought, ‘Oumuamua was an active or derelict probe from another civilization.

    But when SETI-minded astronomers targeted the object with two exquisitely sensitive radio telescopes to eavesdrop for any artificial transmissions, they detected nothing. Other teams using large telescopes discovered ‘Oumuamua’s surface was a very particular shade of red, the same color that common carbon-rich molecules turn after prolonged exposure to harsh radiation.

    The most likely conclusion? Despite its strange shape, trajectory and lack of a tail, ‘Oumuamua is just a comet after all, its ice locked away beneath a tarlike crust hardened and desiccated by eons of bombardment by cosmic rays. Its radio silence adds to a handful of other SETI false alarms in recent years.

    “We accept that these things being artificial is really the lowest-probability possibility for what they are—our past work guides us in that,” says Andrew Siemion, director of the Berkeley SETI Research Center and leader of one team tuning into ‘Oumuamua. “All of these are going to be natural—until one turns out not to be.”

    Clandestine close encounters

    Late last year The New York Times published a story about a small, secretive program run by the Department of Defense to study new reports from the armed services about encounters with UFOs. The project was officially canceled in 2012, leading its former head to resign and join a private, for-profit company — To the Stars Academy of Arts & Science(TTSA) — dedicated to declassifying and studying the Pentagon’s batches of UFO-related material. The Times story included two short videos of separate UFO encounters captured by aircraft-mounted infrared cameras, and hinted at the existence of a third that has yet to be released. In the first video, from an encounter off the coast of San Diego in 2004, a fighter jet tracks a lozenge-shaped something that seems to zoom off at incredible speed, apparently without generating exhaust plumes or a sonic boom. In the second video, captured by a different fighter jet under undisclosed circumstances, an object surrounded by a “glowing aura” seems to fly tilted against heavy headwinds in defiance of known principles of aerodynamics, accompanied by audible exclamations from the fighter jet’s crew.


    Steve Justice, TTSA's aerospace division director and former Lockheed Martin engineer who worked on advanced top secret aircraft for the latter company’s storied “Skunk Works” division, speculates that in both cases such incredible feats of flight could be due to the objects possessing some sort of warp drive. Such an (entirely theoretical) device would somehow allow an object to change mass and inertia at will, and potentially to travel faster than light by “altering the spacetime metric” around itself. Whether aliens are behind the fighter jet encounters is, to him, somewhat immaterial.

    “I’m not really interested in the ‘who’ or the ‘what,’ but I’m really interested in the ‘how,’” Justice says. “How could you make a machine fly like that? To remove the effects of aerodynamics, I’d want to create a volume around myself where I was insulated from them, where I could change my orientation without changing direction, where I could accelerate without generating shock waves. Right now when an airplane pulls its nose up in forward flight, it climbs; when it breaks the sound barrier, it makes a sonic boom. But that’s not what we see here.”

    Keep watching the skies

    Skeptics reviewing the videos obtained by TTSA have postulated more prosaic explanations, while bemoaning both the lack of data due to pernicious state secrecy as well as the organization’s potentially problematic profit-seeking motives. (According to the TTSA Web site, a minimum investment of $200 buys you membership in the organization and finances research into “exotic technologies” associated with UFOs that could lead to “revolutionary breakthroughs in propulsion, energy and communication.”) Perhaps the speeding “lozenge” was a new type of missile, launched from a submarine as part of some earthly power’s clandestine technology test. And maybe the tilting, aura-sheathed object was actually a distant conventional aircraft distorted by image-processing firmware and autotracking sensors within the fighter jet’s gun camera.

    This latter possibility Justice acknowledges as “entirely plausible”—save for the obvious urgency in the voices of experienced military pilots as they speak of associated radar tracking, which is not shown on the gun camera’s feed. “Maybe it could have been some set of physical and optical aberrations,” Justice says. “But when I put it in context of all the information in the video, that’s less likely to me.”

    Of course, military pilots aren’t the only ones with extensive experience looking at objects in the sky—and the equipment to record what they see. Astronomers have that, too—yet they never seem to ever catch UFOs in the viewfinders of their telescopes. Similarly, the increasingly global ubiquity of smartphones should presumably boost the numbers and quality of UFO encounters captured on video (as they have done for rocket launches), but the flood of eerie footage has yet to materialize.

    That raises a red flag for Bruce Macintosh, an astronomer at Stanford University. “In general, interesting physical phenomena are only barely significant when first detected. Then, as technology progresses, those detections become more significant,” he says. “But UFO detections have remained marginal for decades; they’ve just gone from being blurry shapes on film cameras to blurry shapes on the digital infrared sensors of fighter jet gun cameras. This, in spite of the fact that the world’s total imaging capacity has expanded by several orders of magnitude in the past 20 years.” To remain so vexingly residual, he says, UFOs would have to become more elusive in lockstep with our increasing ability to detect them—something no natural process would be expected to do.

    Hypothetical aliens with advanced technology could do that, of course. “But then you have to ask why they would choose to remain marginally undetectable rather than just being undetectable,” Macintosh says. “Unless they’re taunting us, it’s hard to come up with a coherent explanation.”

    Except, of course, for the obvious one: It’s never aliens. Until, perhaps, it is.

    The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls

    By Chris Morton & Ceri Louise Thomas

    crystal-skull-close-up1

    An old native American legend describes the existence of thirteen ancient crystal skulls, the size of human skulls, with moveable jaws that were said to speak or sing. The legend tells that these crystal skulls contain important information about some of the great mysteries of life and the universe. They contain knowledge about the past history of our species on this planet, and information about mankind’s true purpose and future destiny.

    The Cherokee version of the legend says that there were originally twelve planets in the universe inhabited by human life and that there was one skull for each of these planets, together with a thirteenth skull which was vital to reconnecting all of these worlds.

    The legend also says that one day, at a time of great need, all of these crystal skulls will be rediscovered and brought back together to reveal their information vital to the very survival of the human race. But the legend also warns that when that time arrives mankind must first be sufficiently developed, suitably evolved both morally and spiritually, so as not to abuse this great knowledge.

    When we first heard this legend, whilst visiting the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal in Guatemala, we considered it merely a colourful story, until we found out that a real crystal skull had actually been discovered on an archaeological dig in Central America, way back in the 1920’s.

    The Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull

    Frederick Mitchell-Hedges (1882-1959) was your archetypal British adventurer-explorer; a member of the Maya Committee of the British Museum and a real Indiana-Jones type character determined to make his mark in the twilight years of the British Empire. He was of the opinion that the cradle of civilisation lay not in the Middle East, as is commonly supposed, but instead he was convinced that Atlantis was a real civilisation which had disappeared after some natural catastrophe. He believed that the remnants of this Atlantean civilisation could still be found somewhere in Central America, and he was determined to prove it.

    To this end, he gathered together a party of explorers who set sail from Liverpool in 1924 bound for British Honduras (now Belize). One day, deep in the jungle, his party stumbled upon some mounds of stone overgrown with moss and foliage, and suffocated by roots and vines. So they set fire to the undergrowth. When the fire had subsided the ruins of a once great city emerged from the flames.

    It was a place known to the local Mayans as ‘Lubaantun’ or ‘The City of Fallen Stones’, and it was in this lost city that Mitchell Hedges’ adopted daughter Anna found a magnificent and perfect crystal skull, buried beneath an altar in the ruins of one of the great temple-pyramids. The Mayan helpers on the dig went wild with joy on the emergence of the skull. They seemed to recognise it. They kissed the ground crying, placed it on an altar, and performed ceremonial rituals and dances around it.

    But what was this mysterious object and did it have anything to do with the ancient legend?

    In a lost city in a remote jungle, located in what is now Belize, Central America, Anna Mitchell Hedge found this magnificent and perfect crystal skull, buried beneath an altar in the ruins of a great temple-pyramid.

    In a lost city in a remote jungle, located in what is now Belize, Central America, Anna Mitchell Hedge found this magnificent and perfect crystal skull, buried beneath an altar in the ruins of a great temple-pyramid.

    The crystal skull is a mystery as profound as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Sphinx, the Nasca Lines of Peru, or Stonehenge. Ever since its original discovery the crystal skull has been the source of much archaeological controversy – nobody seems to know quite how old it really is, how it was made, what it was used for, and where it originally came from. All that is known for sure is that ever since it emerged from the temple ruins, the most incredible claims have been made about the crystal skull and there have been a whole host of reports of strange and unusual phenomena surrounding the skull.

    As mentioned above, Anna Mitchell-Hedges is the woman who first uncovered the crystal skull as a teenager back in the 1920’s. Although the crystal skull was found on what most archaeologists consider to be a Mayan site, Anna Mitchell-Hedges and many others like her believe that it is actually much older than this, and that it belonged to some mysterious pre-Mayan civilisation that has now long since disappeared from this Earth.

    The crystal skull has been valued at several millions of dollars, but it is far more than just an expensive and exotic ancient artefact. For, over the years, people have reported all kinds of strange and unusual experiences in the skull’s presence. In particular, it is said to have incredible ‘psychic’ and ‘healing’ powers. According to Anna Mitchell-Hedges, who passed away at the age of 100 in 2007, it is thanks to the ‘healing power’ of the skull that kept her alive. She said that all through her life the skull kept her in good health and happiness. The skull, she said, ‘protected’ her and ‘communicated’ with her all through her long life, and she is not the only person to have reported such experiences.

    Anna allowed many visitors into her home and she accumulated hundreds of letters from the many people who came to her house to sit with the skull and who claim to have been ‘healed by the skull’ or that it somehow ‘communicated’ with them. Many of those who have spent time alone with the skull claim to have seen or heard things in its presence. Many say they have seen a gentle glow, like an aura, extending around the skull, or that they have heard sounds, like the soft chanting of human voices, emanating from it, such that it has now earned the title ‘the talking’ or ‘singing skull’, just as in the old legend.

    Others claim to have seen things inside the skull. When they have sat with the skull for a long time it has started to present them with images, almost like watching a bit of cinema film. Hundreds of visitors attest to having seen incredible images from the past or the future deep inside its crystalline structure. The reports include images of ancient sacred sites, with ceremonies being performed beneath great pyramids. Others say they have seen whole periods of planetary history with great shifting of continents, the rising of sea levels and destruction of land masses, and geological cataclysm on a global scale. One of the most commonly reported images is considered by many to be the holographic image of a UFO appearing within the crystal skull – and this has even been photographed! This image in particular has led many to suggest that perhaps the crystal skull has some kind of strange unearthly origin?

    But, just as the ancient legend suggests, this is not the only crystal skull to be discovered. Several other crystal skulls have since come to light. All are of mysterious origin and all are surrounded by claims of strange or unusual phenomena and tales of inexplicable, paranormal powers.

    Max, the ‘Talking’ Crystal Skull

    A woman named Joann Parks, who lives in Houston, Texas, also has a crystal skull. She, too, claims that her crystal skull has the power to heal and can communicate with her telepathically. The story of how Joann Parks came into possession of her crystal skull starts with a very sad story. In 1978 Joann’s eldest daughter, Diana, was diagnosed as having bone cancer and the conventional medical doctors gave her only three months to live. Joann turned to the help of a Tibetan Lama and healer named Norbu Chen. This man owned a crystal skull, and with the help of this healer and his crystal skull, her daughter managed to live for a further three years. When her daughter eventually died, the healer gave Joann the crystal skull, telling her nothing about it except that he had originally received it from a Guatemalan shaman and that one day Joann would understand it and know what it was for.

    Not knowing what to do with it, Joann put the crystal skull in a box in the bedroom closet. A few years later the skull started to appear in her dreams. Then it started “speaking to her,” saying that it wanted out of the closet. She tried to ignore this ‘voice’ but it started “talking to her” at all times of day, saying “You must let me out of this closet. I am important to mankind,” and “I will be remembered.” Joanne thought she was losing her mind and even spoke to her family doctor about it, but the voice just wouldn’t go away, and so she eventually found herself sitting in the bedroom closet “talking to this lump of rock” and telling it to go away, saying “Just leave me alone skull!” She slammed the skull away in a case and pushed it to the back of the wardrobe, but as she ran back down the stairs the skull kept talking to her. “It was very persistent,” explained Joann and it was determined that I take it out of the closet and “tell mankind” of its existence. It even added that, “By the way, my name isn’t skull, it’s Max!” And since that time Joann has been showing the skull all over the United States where she says “Max has now spoken to and healed many people.”

    The skull had also told Joanne that it came many thousands of years ago from a civilisation far in advance of our own, and from a dimension different from our own, and that one day soon this is something mankind would understand!

    What can we learn from the other crystal skulls that have now been discovered? Recently a massive crystal skull turned up at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington under very sad and mysterious circumstances. It had been sent through the post by an anonymous donor whom it transpired had taken his own life, apparently on account of the ‘curse’ the skull had brought on him since it came into his possession.

    The British Museum also has a crystal skull which is kept in The Museum of Mankind, just off Piccadilly Circus, in London. Like the Mitchell-Hedges specimen, this skull is made from highly transparent crystal and displays an incredible degree of anatomical accuracy. This skull has been in the museum’s possession since 1898 and is reported by staff to have been seen moving around by itself in its sealed glass case. The museum’s cleaners are said to be so frightened of this skull that it has to be covered by a cloth before they will go anywhere near it. Where did this skull come from?

    The British Museum have always considered their skull to be of Aztec origin. The note accompanying the Smithsonian skull also said that it had once belonged to the mighty Aztecs of Central America. Anna Mitchell-Hedges and Joann Parks said their skulls are at least as old as the ancient Mayan civilisation of Central America, if not far older and perhaps of extraterrestrial origin.

    The ancient Aztec and Mayan people built up highly developed civilisations in an incredibly short period of time. These civilisations appeared as if from nowhere and the Mayan civilisation, just as suddenly, mysteriously disappeared.

    Many archaeologists are baffled as to where they got their advanced knowledge from and why they suddenly disappeared. All the evidence that remains of this civilisation suggests they were great watchers of the skies and the heavenly bodies. They were great scientists, mathematicians and astronomers. They had a complex calendar based on the movements of the planets and the stars and which they used to predict the future. They were able to predict eclipses, even ones they could not see and that were happening elsewhere in the world. They even managed to accurately predict eclipses that have happened recently – over a thousand years after their own civilisation mysteriously disappeared.

    Some researchers claim the Mayan records say their people came from Atlantis and their ancestors before that ‘came from the stars’. The Mayan civilisation was also obsessed with the image of the skull, which made up an important part of their sacred, divinatory calendar.

    Modern Fakes?

    Many archaeologists, however, unable to explain the strange phenomena associated with the crystal skulls, claim they are simply ‘modern fakes’. So how old are the crystal skulls and where did they really come from? Are they modern, Aztec, Mayan, or did they come from some other civilisation altogether?

    In an attempt to try to answer these questions, Anna Mitchell-Hedges loaned her skull to one of the world’s leading computer companies, Hewlett-Packard, for rigorous scientific testing. The scientists in their crystal laboratories were completely unable to determine the age of the skull, as crystal cannot be carbon-dated. But what surprised the scientists was that both the skull and its detachable lower jawbone were made from the same massive piece of pure, natural rock crystal. As crystal is only slightly softer than diamond, this finding was truly incredible.

    The scientists concluded that even with modern diamond-tipped power tools, it would have been impossible to carve such an object without it shattering. At first they thought the skull must have been made by hand using sand and water to slowly abrade the material over several generations – a process they estimated must have taken around “300 man-years of effort!” But soon they were forced to revise even this conclusion. For when the skull was examined under intense magnification the scientists were in for an even bigger surprise – they were completely unable to find any evidence of tools having been used to make the skull at all! A fact which led one member of the team to comment: “This skull shouldn’t even exist!”

    The crystal skull challenged all conventional opinion. Here was an object that simply defied explanation. It showed no evidence of any existing technology used in its construction, no evidence of tool markings either ancient or modern. But the scientists at Hewlett-Packard said they were simply not prepared to countenance the only alternative explanation – that the skull had not even been made by humans.

    The scientists other interesting discovery was that the skull had been made from precisely the same type of quartz now used in modern electronic equipment. Modern science has established that among the unusual properties of quartz crystal is its ability to hold under control electrical energy and to oscillate at a constant and precise frequency. In other words, the crystal skull is able to hold electrical energy – potentially a form of information – and send out vibrating impulses – or waves of energy information. This is why quartz crystal is used for the ‘brain cells’ of electronic equipment such as watches and computers. The silicon crystal chip inside a computer, for instance, is where the information is actually stored. This finding raised the distinct possibility that the crystal skulls are in fact some kind of information storage system, just as the ancient legend suggests. But what might that information be, and where do the crystal skulls really come from?

    The Legend of the Crystal Skulls

    Native Americans have long believed in the power of quartz crystal. They refer to quartz crystals as “the brain cells of Mother Earth” and have traditionally used them for healing. The crystal skulls have long been a part of Native American teachings but until now they have been forbidden to speak about them. Now, they say, the time has come for them to speak out about these amazing artefacts and to reveal their secret knowledge.

    Professor Paula Gunn-Allen of the University of California is of Laguno Pueblo origin. She specialises in Native American literature and is well versed in the mythology and oral history of Native America. According to her the crystal skulls were created by beings “who are not humans like we are.” She says the crystal skulls were designed specifically for the purpose of communication with extraterrestrial life. As she explains, “What they are is transceivers – devices to help us communicate with the other quadrants of the galaxy.” She said that we might think of them “as like telephones” that get you connected with Galactic Central and enable you to stay in touch with “civilisations beyond our littie bitty modern world.”

    Native American medicine woman Jamie Sams says that “the crystal skulls contain information about our own ancestors, about our own past and our own future that will very soon change the whole way we see ourselves, our world, and our true place in the universe.”

    According to Metis Cherokee medicine man Harley Swiftdeer, the full version of the legend of the crystal skulls says that there were originally twelve planets in the universe inhabited by human life; that there was one skull for each of these planets, and a thirteenth skull which was vital to finally reconnecting all of these worlds. According to Harley Swiftdeer and other native Americans, the crystal skulls were brought to this Earth as “gifts from the gods” – brought long ago by these beings from elsewhere in the universe.

    These crystal skulls contained the wisdom necessary to found civilisation on this Earth and when all thirteen crystal skulls are brought back together again, we will have finally found the key to reconnecting with our brothers and sisters elsewhere in this beautiful universe.

    Ancient—draft—manuscript of the Bible found, reveals shocking details

    Some argue that this ancient manuscript proves how the Bible is in fact a work of fiction. The King James Bible was created after King James I ordered 47 translators to produce an ‘authorized’ version of the Bible that would support the English Church over Puritan influence in earlier texts.

    Kept hidden away for centuries among ancient manuscripts lodged in the Cambridge college remain an ancient manuscript which turned out to be the EARLIEST known DRAFT of the King James Bible—arguably the most widely read work of literature in the English language.

    But why does this matter so much? Well, the Bible is a compilation of ancient early texts and translations, and this ancient manuscript shows how one of the translators in charge of translating the King James Bible—Samuel Ward—made several drafts and corrections—based on earlier versions of the Bible—in order to obtain the King James Bible.

    Author Samuel Ward was one of a team of seven men in Cambridge who worked on the translation of the King James Bible.

    The manuscript was discovered by American scholar Jeffrey Miller who came across some 70 handwritten papers believed to date back between 1604 and 1608 in ancient archives, containing biblical commentary, with Greek and Hebrew notes. The manuscript had eluded researchers in the past because it was mislabeled—remaining undetected and without any study for centuries.

    Miller argues how the discovery of the manuscript will help fill in gaps that will allow us to better understand how the bible—which was published d in 1611—came to be.

    “There was a kind of thunderstruck, leap-out-of-the-bathtub moment,” Miller, told the New York Times in an interview.

    “But then comes the laborious process of making sure you are correct.”

    The King James Bible is the English translation of the Christian Bible made for the Church of England which begun in 1604 and was completed in 1611. The books of the King James Version contain the 39 books of the Old Testament, as well as intertestamental section containing 14 books of the Apocrypha, and the 27 books that make up the New Testament.

    The KJB is the result of 7 translators working in teams working in London, Oxford, and Cambridge. King James I ordered them to produce an ‘authorized’ version of the Bible that would support the English Church over Puritan influence in earlier texts.

    Many authors argue that entire sections of the original texts of the Bible were cut out from the ‘finished product’ and notable people and events were entirely omitted from the finished text.

    Writing about the discovery, Miller— from Montclair State University in New Jersey—indicates how Ward’s ‘draft’ “helps to reveal about one of the 17th century’s most extraordinary cultural achievements.”

    “It points the way to a fuller, more complex understanding than ever before of the process by which the KJB, the most widely read work in English of all time, came to be,” added Miller.

    Discoveries like these raise questions on how much translators influenced the final product and whether or not, the King James Bible is today an ancient text based on the actual truth and events that occurred thousands of years ago.

    New Study Claims Life May Have Existed On Earth More Than 4 Billion Years Ago

    According to a new scientific study, life may have existed on Earth more than 4.6 Billion years ago, during the so-called Hadean Era.

    Scientists believe that soon after our planet formed, it was a hellish world with an unstable crust, bombarded by alien objects which caused the temperature of the Earth to rise extremely.

    Despite the fact that Earth went through hellish early years, a new study claims that life may have survived somehow.

    Scientists have estimated the direct effects caused by the ‘intense bombardment’ during the Hadean era and discovered that even the harshest scenarios were not enough to render our planet completely sterile.

    Scientists have found that heavy bombardment from space rock would have certainly heated the subsurface region of the planet, but despite this, would still have remained habitable for microbial life.

    The Study, which will be published in the Journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, written by scientists from the Southwest Research Institute in Colorado, takes a look at the habitability just below the surface of the Earth during the Hadean and early Archean eons.

    Scientists investigated the upper few kilometers of earth’s subsurfacee environment, taking into consideration the discoveries made by an earlier study on the thermal evolution of the planets crust.

    Scientists have found that heavy bombardment from space rock would have certainly heated the subsurface region of the planet, but despite this, would still have remained habitable for microbial life. Furthermore, scientists found that the subsurface habitable zone on Earth would have eventually grown across two eons, as fewer and fewer space rocks impacted Earth.

    Researchers were only able to discover a worldwide sterilization scenario when they simulated more impacts occurring over shorter periods of time. Scientists found that asteroid and comet collision may have caused dramatic changes to our planet by melting Earth’s sheets and altering its surface.

    However, researchers say that even in this scenario life on Earth may have been able to emerge.

     

    Surprising discoveries

    For a long time have numerous scientists maintained that life could not have existed on earth before 3.9 billion years ago, but the new findings support previous studies which indicate that a biosphere may have been present some 4.4 billion years ago, reports ScienceNews.

    “Even in the Hadean, melt sheets have little effect on habitability because cooling times are short compared to resurfacing intervals, allowing subsurface biospheres to be locally re-established by groundwater infiltration between major impacts,” the authors wrote in the study.

    “Therefore, the subsurface is always habitable somewhere, and production of global steam or silicate-vapor atmospheres are the only remaining avenues to early surface sterilization by bombardment.”

    While our planet looked quite differently billions of years ago, for microbial life beneath the surface “an average day in the Hadean did not spell doom,” lead author Robert Grimm told ScienceNews.

    Wetenschappers waarschuwen voor veel meer en veel zwaardere bevingen in 2018: 3 hevige bevingen in januari zijn geen toeval

    Wetenschappers waarschuwen voor veel meer en veel zwaardere bevingen in 2018: 3 hevige bevingen in januari zijn geen toeval

    Onze planeet trilde sinds het begin van dit jaar al minstens 3 keer met een kracht van meer dan 7 op de schaal van Richter. Ter vergelijking: vorig jaar waren er 7 aardbevingen met een magnitude van 7 op meer op een heel jaar tijd. Drie dergelijk zware aardbevingen op korte tijd heeft de aandacht van wetenschappers gewekt. Zij voorspellen dat er dit jaar bijna dubbel zoveel aardbevingen kunnen zijn dan vorig jaar.

    Een paar dagen geleden trilde de aarde hevig voor de kust van Alaska. Diezelfde dag was er ook al een aardbeving in Jakarta. Eerder deze maand vielen er al doden door een aardbeving in Peru. En ook Mexico werd al opgeschrikt door bevende ondergrond, net als Honduras. Japan werd getroffen door een aardbeving met een magnitude van 6.2.

    Zowel in Honduras, Alaska en Peru ging het om een aardbeving met een kracht van meer dan 7 op de schaal van Richter.

    Wetenschappers waarschuwen voor veel meer en veel zwaardere bevingen in 2018: 3 hevige bevingen in januari zijn geen toeval

    Die frequentie en die hevigheid is volgens geologen geen toeval. Zij zeggen dat er een sterk verband is tussen de snelheid waarmee de aarde roteert en de seismische activiteit. Sinds 2011 draait onze Aarde een héél klein beetje trager om z’n as dan normaal. Daar hebben we zelf niks van gemerkt, want het gaat om slechts een paar duizendsten van een seconde. Toch kan die minieme fluctuatie leiden tot een intense activiteit die onder de grond.

    Professor Roger Bilham van de Universiteit van Colorado en Rebecca Bendick van de Universiteit van Montana onderzochten dat fenomeen. Afgelopen maand nog presenteerden ze hun onderzoek tijdens de jaarlijkse meeting van de Geological Society in de VS. Uit hun onderzoek bleek dat in de laatste historische periodes waarin er een verhoogde seismische activiteit was en er ongeveer dubbel zoveel aardbevingen waren, onze planeet in de jaren daar voorafgaand telkens iets trager rond haar as draaide. “De Aarde geeft ons eigenlijk een waarschuwing met dat trager draaien voor toekomstige aardbevingen”, zegt Bilham. “De gevolgtrekking is duidelijk. In 2018 zullen we een significant toegenomen aantal van zware aardbevingen zien.”

    Waar de Aarde zal beven , dat is moeilijk te voorspellen. Maar Bilham zegt wel dat uit het verleden is gebleken dat de meeste aardbevingen die plaatshebben na die tragere rotatie, vooral in tropische regio’s voorkomen. Sowieso komen aardbevingen vooral voor in de buurt van de grenzen tussen tektonische platen. In Azië en Latijns-Amerika zijn het vooral landen die in de zogenaamde ‘Ring van Vuur’ liggen die veel met bevingen geconfronteerd worden. Zo zijn wetenschappers ervan overtuigd dat er sowieso nog heel zware bevingen zitten aan te komen voor onder andere Japan, Nieuw-Zeeland en andere landen die in de ‘Ring van Vuur’ liggen. Daarnaast gaan onderzoekers ook uit van een bijzonder grote aardbeving die de Verenigde Staten, vooral de westkust, zal treffen, een die een kracht heeft tussen 8.7 en 9.2 op de schaal van Richter. Over die ‘ergste natuurramp in de geschiedenis van de VS’ wordt al jaren gesproken. De Amerikaanse staat Californië werd vorige week op één dag drie keer getroffen door (lichte) bevingen. Maar het is onmogelijk te zeggen of dit een voorbode is van die gevreesde ‘mega-aardbeving’.

    LEES OOK. Vrees voor mega-aardbeving: “De vraag is niet óf die er komt, wel wanneer het zal gebeuren”

    Risicogebieden in Europa zijn Italië, Griekenland en Turkije, die vlakbij de grens tussen de Afrikaanse en Euraziatische tektonische plaat liggen. Volgens het Wereld Risico Rapport van het UNU-EHS (De VN-Universiteit voor Milieu en Menselijke Veiligheid) behoren Turkije en Griekenland tot de Europese landen waar het risico op een natuurramp, zoals een aardbeving dus, vrij hoog is. In 2011 nog kwamen 604 mensen om het leven na een aardbeving in Turkije. Een dikke 10 jaar eerder, in 1999, stierven meer dan 17.000 mensen na een aardbeving met een kracht van 7.6 in Izmit in Turkije.

    Het risico op een natuurramp in België is volgens het rapport vrij laag. In het geval van ons land zou het dan bijvoorbeeld om overstromingen en stijgende zeeniveau gaan. Voor zware aardbevingen hoeven we in ons land dus niet te vrezen.

    Wanneer?

    Maar nog moeilijker dan te voorspellen waar de aarde zal beven, is voorspellen wanneer dat zal zijn. Op korte termijn valt zoiets nauwelijks te voorspellen. Al kunnen meerdere kleine bevingen wel een grotere aankondigen. Zo waren er in 2009 meerdere kleine bevingen in de regio rond L’Aquila, in Italië. Uiteindelijk werden al die kleintjes gevolgd door een heel zware aardbeving. Zes Italiaanse wetenschappers die hadden aangegeven dat het risico op een grote beving in de stad klein was na de meerdere kleine beving, werden trouwens veroordeeld tot 6 jaar cel. Bij de aardbeving in L’Aquila kwamen 309 mensen om het leven. De schade van de beving liep in de miljoenen{

    Onze planeet trilde sinds het begin van dit jaar al minstens 3 keer met een kracht van meer dan 7 op de schaal van Richter. Ter vergelijking: vorig jaar waren er 7 aardbevingen met een magnitude van 7 op meer op een heel jaar tijd. Drie dergelijk zware aardbevingen op korte tijd heeft de aandacht van wetenschappers gewekt. Zij voorspellen dat er dit jaar bijna dubbel zoveel aardbevingen kunnen zijn dan vorig jaar.

    Een paar dagen geleden trilde de aarde hevig voor de kust van Alaska. Diezelfde dag was er ook al een aardbeving in Jakarta. Eerder deze maand vielen er al doden door een aardbeving in Peru. En ook Mexico werd al opgeschrikt door bevende ondergrond, net als Honduras. Japan werd getroffen door een aardbeving met een magnitude van 6.2.

    Zowel in Honduras, Alaska en Peru ging het om een aardbeving met een kracht van meer dan 7 op de schaal van Richter.

    Wetenschappers waarschuwen voor veel meer en veel zwaardere bevingen in 2018: 3 hevige bevingen in januari zijn geen toeval

    Die frequentie en die hevigheid is volgens geologen geen toeval. Zij zeggen dat er een sterk verband is tussen de snelheid waarmee de aarde roteert en de seismische activiteit. Sinds 2011 draait onze Aarde een héél klein beetje trager om z’n as dan normaal. Daar hebben we zelf niks van gemerkt, want het gaat om slechts een paar duizendsten van een seconde. Toch kan die minieme fluctuatie leiden tot een intense activiteit die onder de grond.

    Professor Roger Bilham van de Universiteit van Colorado en Rebecca Bendick van de Universiteit van Montana onderzochten dat fenomeen. Afgelopen maand nog presenteerden ze hun onderzoek tijdens de jaarlijkse meeting van de Geological Society in de VS. Uit hun onderzoek bleek dat in de laatste historische periodes waarin er een verhoogde seismische activiteit was en er ongeveer dubbel zoveel aardbevingen waren, onze planeet in de jaren daar voorafgaand telkens iets trager rond haar as draaide. “De Aarde geeft ons eigenlijk een waarschuwing met dat trager draaien voor toekomstige aardbevingen”, zegt Bilham. “De gevolgtrekking is duidelijk. In 2018 zullen we een significant toegenomen aantal van zware aardbevingen zien.”

    Un cratère fumant de 8 mètres fait penser aux habitants qu’un OVNI s’est écrasé

    cratère fumant

    Les spéculations du crash d’un OVNI ont pris le devant de la scène à la suite de mystérieuses images montrant un trou fumant découvert sur le bord d’une autoroute très fréquentée.

    Les autorités enquêtent toujours sur ce qu’elles ont découvert. Le clip montre une brume épaisse qui remplit l’air au-dessus d’un trou noir.

    Le cratère mesure huit mètres de large et de profondeur, on peut voir une grande quantité de fumée s’en échappée, ce qui suggère que l’événement mystérieux venait tout juste de se produire.

    Il y avait des gens sur les lieux peu de temps après l’incident, mais il n’y avait pas encore de preuves pour expliquer ce qui s’était réellement passé.

    On a laissé entendre qu’un OVNI ou une météorite qui s’écrasait sur la Terre aurait pu être la cause du trou noir.

    Cet étrange événement s’est produit le 17 janvier au Mexique et a été téléchargé sur YouTube le lendemain.

    La vidéo originale a accumulé des milliers de vues et a été partagée sur plusieurs autres médias.

    Les téléspectateurs se sont empressés de suggérer ce que cela pouvait être.

    Un commentaire dit qu’il ressemblait à un OVNI qui a atterri et décollé, laissant un cratère.

    Cependant, d’autres ont suggéré qu’il s’agissait d’un trou brûlant utilisé pour jeter les ordures. Ils ont expliqué qu’il ressemblait à un trou de combustion et qu’il n’y avait aucun impact sur la terre puisqu’il n’y avait pas de débris.

    Les gangs peuvent aussi avoir utilisé le trou pour brûler de la drogue, des armes et des corps.

    D’autres croyaient que les observations accrues de météores récemment pouvaient être liées au cratère.

    Roswell Incident Of The Soviet Union: The Dalnegorsk UFO Crash

    Roswell Incident Of The Soviet Union: The Dalnegorsk UFO Crash

    An alleged UFO crash in Russia also known as the Roswell Incident of the Soviet Union  occurred on January 29, 1986, at 7:55 pm in Dalnegorsk, small mining town in Primorsky Krai, Far East of Russia.

    That cold January day an orange-reddish sphere flew over this town from the southeast, crossed part of Dalnegorsk, and crashed at the Izvestkovaya (Lime) Mountain; also known as Height or Hill 611, because of its size. The object flew noiselessly and parallel to the ground. Its shape was described of being near perfectly round with no projections, wings or windows and its color was similar to that of burnished stainless steel.

    Crash witnesses

    V. Kandakov, an eyewitness, recalled that the speed of alleged UFO was close to 15 meters per hour.  The object ascended and descended slowly and its glow heated up each time it rose. On reaching Hill 611, the object jerked and fell like a rock. Other witnesses reported about bumps and jumps and also a weak thump. The object burned at the cliff’s edge for almost an hour.

    Descriptions of the descent to Hill 611 differ from witness to witness. Some stated the object clearly crashed, fell in an uncontrolled manner, crashing into Hill 611 in a flash of light (possible explosion). Others claimed it varied in altitude above the hill, giving off light of different intensities as it gained and lost altitude (like pilot trying to regain control of ship) prior to the crash.

    About 3 days after the crash a group of scientists led by Valery Dvuzhilni, Head of the Far Eastern Committee for Anomalous Phenomena, found the the probable crash site on Hill 611. It was reported to be approximately 3m square and reports indicate the ground within the site had been charred due to exposure to very high temperatures. The rocks at the impact site were covered with a black film and remains of a burned tree were found within the landing ground.

    Analyses of Recovered Objects

    Various evidence of “alien remains/activity” were reported to be found. Surrounding rocks had deposits of a “silver metal” which was determined to be common lead. There are also reports (unconfirmed) of other materials being recovered including an “alien mesh” (possible part of the crashed UFO’s construction) containing high levels of gold and other rare terrestrial elements.

    Dvuzhilni claimed he received a report from the IZMIRAN Institute of Earth magnetism, ionosphere and radiowaves propagation (the Leningrad branch). This institute was involved in the secret Soviet UFO research program from 1978 to 1991 (SETKA AN). They conducted analyses of lead balls from Height 611. The conclusions arrived to by scientists were as follows: the balls were made on Earth, but the lead was not from Dalnegorsk deposit, but from the Kholodnensky deposit, in the North Baikal region.  Source: Visota 611: zagadki ostayuts, article by A. Lyakhov, published by Sostialisticheskaya industriya, issue dated July 9, 1989; Inopanetyane dobivayut nash svinets, article by N. Ostrovskaya, published in Komsomolskaya Pravda, issue dated June 9, 2003.

    Dvuzhilni was certain that the alien probe that crashed on Height 611 was capable of using metals from Earth deposits for its repair needs.

    More anomalies in the area

    Furthermore numerous anomalies were reposted in the area of Hill 611: according to an article in the Soviet digest Tainy XX Veka (Moscow, 1990, CP Vsya Moskva Publishing House). Even photos taken at the site, when developed, failed to show the hill, but did clearly show other locations. Members of an expedition to the site reported later that their flashlights stopped working at the same time. They checked the flashlights upon returning home, and discovered burned wires.

    Eight days after the UFO crash at Hill 611, on February 8, 1986, at 8:30 p.m., two more yellowish spheres flew from the north, in the southward direction. Reaching the site of the crash, they circled it four times, then turned back to the north and flew away. Then on November 28, 1987 (Saturday night, 11:24 p.m.), 32 flying objects had appeared from nowhere. There were hundreds of witnesses, including the military and civilians.
