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.

    Scottsdale UFO conference: 'We're not alone in the universe'

    Travis Walton talks about his extraterrestrial encounter at the International UFO Congress on Feb. 17, 2018.

    Scottsdale became a landing spot this weekend for those who believe in UFOs, alien abductions and large-scale government cover-ups.

    A panel Saturday at the International UFO Congress in Scottsdale gave accounts of what some say were extraordinary contacts with extraterrestrial life. 

    Although UFO "sightings" often turn out to be explicable phenomena, such as the streak of light caused by a recent SpaceX rocket launch in California, the U.S. Department of Defense has confirmed previous funding of UFO research.

    While no human contact with aliens has ever been verified by the government, attendees at the Saturday conference say it's clear that we are not alone in the universe. 

    MORE: If U.S. government is tracking UFO sightings, Arizona is fertile ground

    And if you get a rush from hunting for any sign of paranormal evidence, Arizona is the place to be, they say. 

    Travis Walton, an Arizona resident and one of the speakers, inspired the 1993 science-fiction film "Fire in the Sky." He said he believes he was abducted by a UFO near Snowflake on Nov. 5, 1975"

    He was in a truck, returning with co-workers from a logging job in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, when, he said, they saw a bright light hovering over a break in the trees.

    Once they got closer to the light, Walton said, there was "no doubt of what we were seeing," and one co-worker exclaimed, "It's a flying saucer."

    Walton said he had an "impulse to see it" and threw open the truck door, getting closer to the craft for a better look.

    "It was kind of a foolish move in retrospect," Walton said, drawing laughter from the audience.

    Walton said he felt like it was his own impulse that drew him there, and not anything extraterrestrial.

    It was both 'frightening' and 'beautiful'

    The closer he got, Walton said, the more frightened he and his co-workers became.

    "This was not only frightening, but it was beautiful," Walton said. "It just looked smooth as glass. It was glowing, it was shiny and metallic. The surface was so shiny that even though it was giving off light, it was also reflecting its surroundings."

    After a few moments, Walton said, the UFO began to move, and the sound it was making got louder, filling the night air.

    Walton said he decided to run, and that's when he heard a powerful blast. 

    His co-workers fled the scene, he said, leaving him behind. 

    "It was the most commonsense thing to do, was to get the (heck) out of there," Walton said.

    Former law-enforcement officer Chuck Ellison and his wife were about to have supper at their Heber home when the phone rang.

    On the other end of the line was a frantic voice. Ellison drove to meet Walton's six "hysterical" co-workers.

    Ellison, who was also at Saturday's panel alongside Walton, said that several of Walton's co-workers were crying.

    Finally, one of the co-workers told Ellison that a flying saucer had abducted Walton and that they had left the scene. 

    "I said that was kinda a sorry thing to do," Ellison said to laughter from the audience. 

    The story continues 

    Walton said he was missing for five days, and his co-workers were accused of inventing the UFO story. 

    Others said that Walton was playing a hoax on his family and the surrounding community. 

    Walton's brother, Don, was the third speaker on the Saturday panel and said his mother showed up at his house around 3 a.m. Nov. 6, saying that Walton was missing. 

    "She was hysterical, and my mother did not do hysterical," Don Walton said.

    Over the next few days, media hounded the Waltons, demanding interviews, Don Walton said.

    An incredible tale 

    The Arizona Republic sifted through more than 100 reports from the Project Blue Book files, searching for the interesting, the bizarre and the unbelievable stories from Arizona's UFO sightings. Many of the names and specific locations within the reports were redacted by the U.S. Air Force.  Thinkstock

    4 p.m. July 7, 1947- The 30-year-old Mr. Rhodes of

    4 p.m. July 7, 1947- The 30-year-old Mr. Rhodes of Phoenix heard the approach of an incoming jet . He stepped out his backdoor to look, but saw nothing. After several seconds however, a gray disc appeared over the horizon to the northeast. Mr. Rhodes ran to his workshop, grabbed his camera and snapped two pictures as the disc dipped under the clouds again. The disc then disappeared over the western horizon. The entire event lasted about 60 seconds.  United States Air Force

    5:45 p.m. April 28, 1949- A Tucson florist stood with two friends, when a silver object appeared over the rim of the Catalina Mountains. "It appeared sausage like in shape," the florist noted in his firsthand account. It had no wings, windows, fins or visible openings, facts corroborated by all three men. The sausage seemed to revolve in a slow roll, similar to an airplane at speeds estimated about 500 miles per hour, and at a height of about 5 to 10 miles above the Earth. The sighting lasted for about 12 minutes.  United States Air Force

    2:30 p.m. May 9, 1949- A U.S. Air Force sergeant spotted

    2:30 p.m. May 9, 1949- A U.S. Air Force sergeant spotted two flying objects while reclining on the front lawn of his home in northeast Tucson. The objects were flat, silver, reflective and "perfectly round." They appeared in the southwest of the sky, about the size of washtubs, approximately 10,000 feet in the air traveling between 750 and 1,000 miles per hours.. The pair headed northwest, banked to the left, then abruptly to the right, fading from view over the Catalina Mountains.  United States Air Force
    7:45 a.m. April 3, 1952- A civilian pilot instructor
    7:45 a.m. April 3, 1952- A civilian pilot instructor landed at Marana Air Base. While taxiing, the instructor noticed an object described as a "bright star" in the morning sky. The pilot instructor continued to keep his eye on the object. "It never moved the slightest fraction in relation to the canopy of my aircraft," he said in the report. After about 45 minutes of observation, the object suddenly vanished. "The object was bright and shone like polished aluminum. I've been flying for 25 years and never saw anything like it. It was weird," Logan said in a news article about the incident.  United States Air Force
    7:15 p.m. Jan. 27, 1953- A Cottonwood man stood outside
    7:15 p.m. Jan. 27, 1953- A Cottonwood man stood outside his home watching an airplane fly overhead when he noticed the illuminated object.It appeared as a yellow-orange light, larger and brighter than any of the stars in the night sky. The man ran inside, grabbed a pair of binoculars and returned to see the light heading south. Through the binoculars, he could see the object was made of two lights, one brighter light near the head of the object, and a second fainter light near what he assumed was the tail. The man followed the object for about five minutes before it faded into the night.  United States Air Force
    Dec. 23, 1954- Kenneth Hite was a first lieutenant
    Dec. 23, 1954- Kenneth Hite was a first lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force stationed at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson. Hite was flying a local combat air patrol mission when he encountered an unidentified object near Nogales. He was flying at an altitude of 15,000 feet, and noted the object was about 5,000 to 10,000 feet above him. Hite followed the object, which appeared about 10 miles ahead of him, he said. He continued pursuit at an altitude of 28,000 feet and a speed of 350 knots. After reaching Douglas, it turned south and Hite, again, gave chase. Not long after, Hike began to run low on fuel and had to return to base.  United States Air Force
    Oct. 17, 1955- Reports from a missing case file indicate
    Oct. 17, 1955- Reports from a missing case file indicate that approximately 12 pale, yellow lights appeared over Yuma. The observer, described as a military source, said the formation of the pale lights was a wide "V" at a high altitude. The lights grew dimmer, smaller and faded away over the course of about three to four seconds. Air Force conclusion: The duration and height of the sightings led military officials to believe the observer saw a meteor shower.  United States Air Force
    7:45 p.m. April 8, 1958- Two men in their 20s saw an
    7:45 p.m. April 8, 1958- Two men in their 20s saw an unidentified flying object speeding from north to south while driving west on Main Street in Mesa. At first, the men said it had the appearance of a falling star with an approximate size of a grapefruit held at arm's length. What was peculiar, according to the report, was the object's movement and speed. The light rapidly descended to about 1,500 feet over the city of Mesa then slowly pulled into a steep climb until it performed a near vertical ascent, all the while accelerating. The object disappeared from view after a total of 10 seconds.  United States Air Force

    6:27 p.m. Oct. 19, 1958- A group of astronomers set

    6:27 p.m. Oct. 19, 1958- A group of astronomers set up about nine miles outside of Benson to watch the Russian space satellite, Sputnik 1, and the third-stage rocket that helped it get into orbit. The observers instead saw a bright object over the southeastern horizon. It traveled rapidly across the sky then vanished out of view over the north-northwestern horizon after about five minutes.It was traveling in the opposite direction of the satellite's projected path, and was much too bright to be airplane lights, the observer wrote in the account.  Dr. Bruce Maccabee
    6:20 p.m. Feb. 24, 1960-The sun had just set behind
    6:20 p.m. Feb. 24, 1960-The sun had just set behind the mountains when a 31-year-old Tucson man and his wife encountered a white, globular light while driving outside of downtown. He pulled to the side of the road to more closely examine the object. The object appeared over the mountains to the west, heading east over the city. As it flew, the object made drastic maneuvers, changing direction and slanting. After about 5 minutes, the diagonal streaks broke off the initial band of light, circling the object, then absorbed back into the original band. It appeared to glide over the sky, gently rising and then fading away to the south.  United States Air Force

    4:30 a.m. Aug. 10, 1964- An object with a trail of whitish-yellow flames and sparks skittered across the early-morning sky over Phoenix, according to reports from civilian and military observers. Two of the reports indicated the object looked like a fireball and could have been a meteor. Most agree, the source was very bright and came from a single object. No sound was reported. Most on the ground observed the object heading from west to east, but two flight crews reported the object moving southwest to northwest.  United States Air Force

    Sept. 7, 1965- A Tempe liquor-store clerk watched as six whitish-yellow objects flew low over the city as if they were going to land, before disappearing to the southeast over the mountains. Each of the objects were oval-shaped, and had windows that emanated a pinkish light, according to the clerk. Two of the lights were side by side, and four together. They emitted a high-pitched hum that hurt the ears of the observer, and gave her a headache.The officer producing the report noted that the clerk was convinced UFOs exist and had seen numerous UFOs during the four years prior. The clerk also said she had hypersensitive hearing that allows her to hear UFOs before she sees them.  United States Air Force

    Oct. 25, 1965- Nine miles southeast of Luke Air Force

    Oct. 25, 1965- Nine miles southeast of Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, a military official watched the night sky from home. The observer noticed a bright object to the southwest. At first, the observer thought it resembled a star or planet. It oscillated from white to orange and black to white. Then it began to move. It changed directions from south to north, then moved to the southeast and east. It changed elevation, disappeared, then reappeared an hour after its first appearance. The observer described the movements as "erratic" and emphasized it moved at high speed.  United States Air Force

    8:05 p.m. Nov. 26, 1965- A husband, wife and son standing

    8:05 p.m. Nov. 26, 1965- A husband, wife and son standing outside watched an explosion in the sky similar to Fourth of July fireworks, except that the rocket burst into a perfect circle of blue starlike objects.The cluster of 30 to 50 objects then moved south over Phoenix. Ten to 15 seconds after the first sighting, the cluster began "swarming like bees, resolving into two undulating 'V' formations," then melding back into a single V before disappearing while heading due south, according to a summary of the event from the husband, who included his qualifications as an astronomer and a teacher of aircraft identification during World War II.  Dr. Bruce Maccabee

    5:40 p.m. Oct. 9, 1967- A 13-year-old boy said he watched

    5:40 p.m. Oct. 9, 1967- A 13-year-old boy said he watched a UFO take off from the desert. He described the object as looking like a large, silver water heater with 2 legs, each fitted with a curved pad. The boy said the UFO made a humming sound as it took off, and left an indescribable taste in his mouth. The report includes pictures of impressions in the sand the boy alleges were created by the UFO. The Aerial Phenomena Branch received the report, took pictures and soil samples, then sent them to the Ohio River Division Laboratory for testing. In turn, the lab found that the UFO could not possibly have been the size or dimensions described by the boy.  United States Air Force

    While his family was dealing with chaos on the ground, Walton said, he believes he was contending with aliens in the extraterrestrial aircraft that had abducted him. 

    Walton said he lost consciousness when the blast hit him on the ground before he was taken aboard. But he said he eventually regained consciousness and woke up to see two figures on board.

    The first creature fit the description of stereotypical alien depictions — small, hairless creatures with a large head and very large eyes, Walton said.

    The other creature appeared humanlike and came aboard as Walton regained consciousness.

    The next thing Walton said he recalls is being dropped off in Heber, where he found a pay phone to contact his family. It was snowing and about 20 degrees, Ellison said. 

    Walton says he believes he saw the craft departing.

    "I was wondering why they didn't take me home to my house!" Walton said, prompting another round of laughter from the audience. 

    Walton said the movie "Fire in the Sky" deviates from what he recalls when it implies that Walton was dropped back on Earth completely naked.

    "I was fully clothed, but that's Hollywood for you," he said. "They gotta have that nude scene!"

    'The townspeople put us through hell'

    The fabled Project Blue Book, the Air Force's files on UFO sightings and investigations, have tantalized and frustrated extraterrestrial enthusiasts for decades. But this past week, nearly 130,000 pages of declassified UFO records were put online. VPC

    Although Walton made light of some aspects of his alleged experience, he was serious about the scrutiny that he and his family endured following his return.

    "Quite literally, the townspeople put us through hell," Don Walton said of his family's experiences as they stayed in the sleepy town of Snowflake. "We were shunned, we were taunted, teased, called liars." 

    'We're not alone in the universe'

    In the years that have passed since 1975, Walton said, it appears that more people believe his story and give credence to the notion of extraterrestrial life. 

    His main message, though, is for the naysayers.

    "So many people form an opinion and then gather all the so-called facts they can to support the theory," he said. "Instead, they should gather the facts and let facts dictate what their theory becomes."

    Walton said his experience has been costly to him and his family. He said he'd rather it never happened, but it did.

    "It's become my mission to promote understanding so that people will know that this is real, these things do happen and we're not alone in the universe," Walton said. "That shouldn't be alarming, either; that should just be something that we're aware of."

    We zijn niet alleen in het heelal. Abductee vertelt openhartig over zijn ontvoering door aliens

    De afgelopen dagen vond in Scottsdale in Arizona het International UFO Congress plaats. Eén van de sprekers was Travis Walton, die naar eigen zeggen op 5 november 1975 werd meegenomen aan boord van een UFO, schrijft The Arizona Republic.

    Indertijd werkte Walton als houthakker in de Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests toen hij plotseling een fel licht zag hangen boven een open plek in het bos.

    Samen met enkele collega’s reed hij richting het licht. Hij werd er als het ware naartoe getrokken. Een collega riep: “Het is een vliegende schotel.”

    Mooi

    Hoe dichter hij in de buurt van het object kwam, hoe banger hij en zijn collega’s werden. “Het was niet alleen beangstigend, het was ook mooi,” zei Walton.

    “Het zag eruit als glas. Er kwam een gloed vanaf. Het glom en was metaalachtig,” voegde hij toe. “Het oppervlak glom zo erg dat het leek alsof er licht uit kwam.”

    Na een tijdje begon de UFO te bewegen en besloot hij het op een lopen te zetten. Toen hoorde hij een harde knal.

    Zijn collega’s lieten hem in de steek en belden de politie. De zes ‘hysterische’ collega’s vertelden aan politieagent Chuck Ellison, die ook op het congres was, in tranen dat Walton was ontvoerd door een vliegende schotel.

    Twee figuren

    Vijf dagen lang werd niets van Walton vernomen. Zijn collega’s werden ervan beschuldigd het UFO-verhaal te hebben verzonnen. Anderen zeiden dat het een hoax was.

    Ondertussen bevond hij zich aan boord van een buitenaards schip dat hem had meegenomen.

    Walton zei dat hij bewusteloos raakte na de knal. Toen hij weer bij kennis kwam zag hij twee figuren aan boord van het schip.

    Het eerste wezen was klein en had een groot hoofd, grote ogen en geen haar, aldus de abductee.

    Hel

    Het tweede wezen zag er mensachtig uit en kwam aan boord toen Walton weer wakker werd.

    Het enige wat hij zich verder herinnert is dat hij werd afgezet in het plaatsje Heber, waar hij contact opnam met zijn familie.

    Hij zag nog hoe het schip wegvloog.

    De familie Walton ging door een hel. Ze werden gemeden als de pest, bespot, gepest en uitgemaakt voor leugenaars.

    Niet alleen

    Travis richtte zich vooral tot de critici. “Veel mensen vormen een mening en verzamelen daarna alle zogenaamde feiten waarmee ze hun theorie kunnen ondersteunen,” zei hij.

    “In plaats daarvan zouden ze eerst de feiten moeten verzamelen en die laten bepalen hoe hun theorie eruit komt te zien,” vervolgde hij.

    Hij wil mensen naar eigen zeggen laten weten dat dit echt is, dat deze dingen echt gebeuren en dat we niet alleen zijn in het heelal.

    Naburig sterrenstelsel Andromeda is minder oud dan de aarde - HLN.be

    Bron: Belga

     Thinkstock
     Ons naburig sterrenstelsel, Andromeda, is minder dan drie miljard jaar geleden geboren door een botsing van twee verzamelingen van sterren. Dit staat in het wetenschappelijke vakblad Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Onze buurvrouw bevindt zich op 2,5 miljoen lichtjaar van ons.

    François Hammer van het Observatorium van Parijs en zijn Frans-Chinees team hebben miljoenen bytes aan data onderzocht. Met behulp van de krachtigste computersimulaties konden de wetenschappers het traject van de twee oorspronkelijke sterrenstelsels opnieuw uittekenen. Zo bleek dat ze 1,8 tot drie miljard jaar geleden zijn gebotst.

    Dat betekent dat Andromeda -  een afgeplatte schijf - geboren is toen de Aarde al bestond.  In de gigantische schijf van Andromeda ondergaan alle sterren van meer dan twee miljard jaar oud ongeordende veranderingen, luidt het. Ter vergelijking: de sterren van onze Melkweg volgen netjes bewegingen van rotatie. Enkel een recente botsing kan het gedrag van de sterren in Andromeda verklaren.

    Andere studies wijzen uit dat er een botsing zal plaatsvinden tussen Andromeda en onze Melkweg, maar dat zal pas binnen vier miljard jaar gebeuren.

     Moskou wil de komende jaren zo’n 90 miljoen euro investeren in het Europees-Russische onderzoeksproject ExoMars. Met het project zoeken het ruimtevaartagentschap Roskosmos en zijn Europese partner ESA naar sporen van leven op de Rode Planeet. 

    Het grootste deel van de investering staat gepland voor 2019 en 2020, meldt het persagentschap Interfax. Met ExoMars zoeken Rusland en ESA naar sporen van leven op de Rode Planeet. België speelt een belangrijke rol bij ExoMars.

    Al in oktober 2016 hebben beide organisaties een sonde in een baan rond Mars gebracht. Een lander crashte. De verwachting is dat de sonde medio maart gereed is met de laatste manoeuvres om een analyse van de atmosfeer te beginnen. België is toonaangevend in dat atmosfeeronderzoek. Exomars heeft nog een tweede luik met de lancering in 2020 van een robotjeep.

    Why Extraterrestrial life in Outer Space Probably Exists on Eyeball Exo-Planets

    While we have still not found life off-Earth, we have found many exo-planetary systems. The planets most likely to sustain life are eyeball exo-planets–and they’re drastically different than our home planet.

    What is our planet made of? How does it work? Where does the Earth belong in the universe? Is life an unlikely happenstance?

    Humans have pondered these delicate questions since the dawn of civilization.

    According to the histories we’ve retained, Greek philosophers were among the first to try to answer these questions.

    They perceived the Earth as a flat disk surrounded by an endless circular river. Above, there was a dome-like firmament of Heaven. Here, Zeus and Hera ruled the domain of the gods.

    Aristotle and Ptolemy defended the theory of Geocentrism. According to this theory, Earth is a motionless body at the center of the universe. Around this version of Earth, all celestial bodies, including the Sun and stars, orbit.

    As you may know, the Geocentric model lasted until the end of the 16th century when Copernicus challenged it with his Heliocentrism theory, claiming that the Earth revolves around the Sun. This theory extrapolated that the Sun was now the center of the universe, not Earth.

    Since then, we’ve come to know that neither the Earth nor the Sun is the center of the universe.

    In fact, the Milky Way is only one of the hundreds of billions of galaxies in an expanding universe. In all, the human-centric theory of us being the focal point of the universe was rendered meaningless.

    Eyeball #exoplanets our best hope to find alien life.CLICK TO TWEET

    This mysterious, infinitely enormous universe of ours gave rise to sentient life, at least here on Earth.

    This raises the question: what are the chances of humans being the only sentient life in the universe?

    Before we get to answer this question, we have to identify the “habitable” worlds that could support life.

    The Goldilocks Zone, Habitability, and Earth Twins

    An exoplanets’ theoretical ability to host life, or habitability, is largely based on one reference: Earth.

    There are about 100 billion stars, give or take a few billion, in the Milky Way alone. As far as galaxies go, that’s on the low end. Estimates for this figure can go up to 400 billion stars.

    Most stars have solar systems with at least one planet, so we can safely assume there are more planets than stars in the universe.

    In 2016, researchers simulated the number of terrestrial (rocky) planets using a model of the universe that integrates all the known physical variables.

    According to their conclusions, there are hundreds of billions of billions (≈2×1019 to ≈7×1020) of terrestrial planets orbiting around stars. Some of these stars are like our Sun, while many others are less-luminous types like red dwarfs.

    In searching for alien life, scientists generally focus on worlds that resemble Earth. As such, in addition to being telluric, candidate exoplanets need to meet two major criteria: their size, and the distance from their home star.

    To be eligible for consideration, a rocky planet must be neither too big nor too small.

    They also have to be located in the habitable zone of its star for the temperature to allow for liquid water to exist on the surface.

    As of writing this article, there are 3,605 exoplanets that have already been confirmed, with another 4,496 candidates needing further evaluation. Among these, 890 are rocky planets.

    Taking into account the above criteria, the Habitable Exoplanets Catalog estimates the number of potentially habitable planets at 53, including 22 Earth-size ones.

    The HEC even assigns an ESI score (Earth Similarity Index) to each of these planets, with Proxima Centaury b and Trappist-1e topping the list with 0.85s.

    Red Dwarfs, Best Hope to Find ET Life

    The hunt for alien planets likely to host life is in full swing.

    In the last couple of years, more and more planets are being discovered outside our solar system, with many believed to be potentially habitable.

    To most of these researchers, habitability boils down to liquid water flowing on the surface of a planet.

    One of the most significant scientific landmarks of last year was the discovery of the alien solar system known as Trappist-1.

    Recent studies revealed that these alien worlds are mostly rocky planets and are up to about 5% water. That’s 250 times more than Earth’s 0.02%!

    These seven Earth-like planets orbit around the Trappist-1, which is a red dwarf star.

    While the habitability zone or even the existence of liquid water can’t guarantee there will be life, this discovery should encourage astronomers to zero in on red dwarfs and planetary systems they may host.

    The reason why we should make red dwarfs the main target is simple: red dwarfs are believed to be the most common star type (up to 70% of all stars) in the universe.

    Then there’s also the fact that they tend to exist longer, sometimes for trillions of years, giving life a better chance of evolving.

    Eyeball Exoplanets and the Twilight Ring

    The habitability zone of a system depends on the nature of the star. The bigger the star, the farther out its habitable zone will be.

    In the case of red dwarf stars, their habitable zone is much closer. Red dwarfs are about 20% of the mass of the sun and up to 50 times less radiant.

    The relatively small size of red dwarfs means that any planet orbiting them would be much closer.

    That also means that they orbit their host star more frequently, which makes their detection easier using the transit method or other observation techniques.

    However, any planet lying near a red dwarf star is likely to be subjected to a strange phenomenon.

    As it orbits the red dwarf very closely, these planets are usually forced by the star’s gravitational pull into synchronous rotation, which will make it permanently show the same side to the star.

    This phenomenon, also known as tidal locking, isn’t actually so uncommon as a concept.

    Earth exerts the same effect on the Moon, which takes four weeks to rotate around its axis and the same to turn around the Earth. That’s why we always see only one side of the Moon.

    Tidally-locked exoplanets are called “Eyeball” planets because of the look they might give, with one side permanently facing heat and the other frozen in a night without end.

    Your imagination can really go wild on these planets. For example, in some cases, there could be an ocean covering the bright side with ice all around it.

    However, in between these two extremes, there is a twilight temperate zone that runs through the Eyeball planet’s middle and could gather the conditions for life to thrive.

    Here’s how astronomer Sean Raymond describes the situation in his article: “Forget Earth-Like, We’ll First Find Aliens on Eyeball Planets”:

    The day side is roasting and dry. The night side is frigid and icy. In between, it’s just right! The sweet spot—let’s call it the “ring of life”—is at the terminator, the boundary between night and day. The ring of life is bounded by deserts on one side and ice on the other. There is a constant flow of water from the night side to the day side—a series of rivers, all flowing in the same direction. The Sun is fixed in the sky right at the horizon, and the area is in permanent light.

    If the exoplanet is an “eyeball”, the hemisphere that is always facing the star would be the pupil. Per Raymond, there are many types of Eyeball planets, such the “hot Eyeball planets” and the “cold Eyeball planets”.

    The concept of Eyeball exo-planets was first suggested with the discovery of Gliese 581g, the first exoplanet that was thought to have potentially habitable signs. It was then revealed that Gliese 581g might not exist at all.

    Based on the hypothetical prevalence of tidally-locked Eyeball planets (based on the prevalence of red dwarfs), statistically-speaking, it’s most likely that we’d find alien life on one of these planets than other types of planets.

    In all, the question of whether we are alone in the Universe or simply not looking with the right methods is a debate which is likely to continue until we either find life, or we run out of places to look. For now, these exo-eyeball planets give us hope for the possibility that we might not be the only intelligent life in existence.

    Can you imagine what forms of life would exist in the twilight ring of Eyeball planets, between the scorching heat and the deathly cold?

    Isaac Newton’s Philosopher’s Stone Recipe Discovered

    According to reports, researchers have re-discovered Isaac Newton’s recipe for alchemists’ mercury.

    The document, which dates back to the seventeenth century is believed to have been handwritten by Isaac Newton himself and explains the fundamental part of the process to create the mythical Philosopher’s Stone, a substance that alchemists believed could transmute base metals into gold.

    The papers written by Newton on theology and alchemy far exceed in volume those dedicated to Physics, Astronomy, and Mathematics, sciences in which he is a leading figure.

    However, it is important to mention that Newton wrote more than a million words about alchemy, something that was known only after his death since ‘proto-science’ was illegal in his time.

    His forbidden texts were written under the pseudonym of Jeova Sanctus Unus.

    The document contains text copied from another alchemist’s writings as well as descriptions of Newton’s own experiments

    © Courtesy of the Chemical Heritage Foundation

    The philosopher’s stone was, according to the tradition of alchemists and necromancers, a substance with extraordinary properties capable of transmuting any metal into gold, it was also capable of curing diseases and granting immortality, through the elixir of life.

    One of the great cultivators of these secrets was Isaac Newton, one of the fathers of physics, who practically devoted himself to the Great Work—Latin: Magnum opus, in an exhaustive way.

    The Great Work is an alchemical term for the process of working with the prima materia to create the philosopher’s stone. It has been used to describe personal and spiritual transmutation in the Hermetic tradition, attached to laboratory processes and chemical color changes, used as a model for the individuation process, and as a device in art and literature.

    The manuscript which contained the extraordinary recipe, was in the possession of a private collector, and auctioned in Pasadena, California, and purchased by the Chemical Heritage Foundation of Philadelphia.

    It is an instructive guide that details the process for preparing ” alchemists mercury “, a recipe that Newton copied from the American alchemist George Starkey, whom he probably considered a better alchemist.

    Starkey (1628 – 1665), considered the first man of American science, also wrote under a pseudonym; Eirenaeus Philalethes.

    According to website Chemistry World, ‘Philosophic mercury was [thought to be] a substance that could be used to break down metals into their constituent parts,’ explains James Voelkel, the CHF’s curator of rare books. ‘The idea is if you break the metals down you can then reassemble them and make different metals.’ The process was part of the effort to make the philosopher’s stone, he adds, a mythical substance that alchemists believed could turn lead into gold.

    Translated from Latin, the manuscript title is: ‘Preparation of the [Sophick] Mercury for the [Philosophers’] Stone by the Antimonial Stellate Regulus of Mars and Luna from the Manuscripts of the American Philosopher’. The manuscript is believed to describe the necessary process to make ‘sophick’ – short for ‘philosophic’ – mercury.

    Researchers Unearth Sophisticated Engineering And Metal-Work Beneath Ancient Greek ‘Pyramid’

    As noted by experts, this ancient ‘pyramid’ composed of a number of terraces of would have blazed in the Greek sun, visible from far off. Beneath the structure, researchers discovered traces of complex engineering and metal-working.

    A group of archaeologists from three countries has found evidence of advanced engineering work under the terraces of the pyramidal sanctuary of the islet Daskalio.

    New excavations on the remote Greek island of Keros have revealed evidence of spectacular engineering feats and monumental architectural works that, according to researchers, make it one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the Aegean.

    According to reports, more than 4,000 years ago, to be precise 4,500 years ago, the ancient builders carved the entire surface of a natural promontory in the form of a pyramid on the Greek island of Keros. They formed it in terraces covered with 1,000 tons of gleaming white stone specially imported to give it the appearance of a giant stepped pyramid that rises from the Aegean, making it the most imposing artificial structure of the entire Cycladic archipelago.

    However, what’s inside is even more impressive, say archaeologists.

    Experts have found below the surface of the terraces still-undiscovered engineering and craftsmanship feats that rival the impressive exterior of the structure.

    As noted by the Guardian, Archaeologists have found evidence of a complex of drainage tunnels – constructed 1,000 years before the famous indoor plumbing of the Minoan palace of Knossos on Crete – and traces of sophisticated metalworking.

    Experts are still unsure whether the ancient tunnels were designed as a system for wastewater or fresh water.

    This is an aerial image of the promontory of Dhaskalio, rising from the Aegean sea. According to experts, it was once joined to the major sanctuary of Keros.

    Researchers uncovered the first traces of advanced metalworking ten years ago on the site. Since then, new discoveries have shown the ancient inhabitants of the Mini-Islands were far more sophisticated than researchers imagined, as experts have excavated two workshops full of metalworking debris, and a number of artifacts including a lead axe, a mold for copper daggers, as well as countless ceramic fragments from metalworking equipment, used by the ancient builders, thousands of years ago.

    “What we are seeing here with the metalworking and in other ways is the beginnings of urbanization,” said Joint director of the excavation Michael Boyd, of the University of Cambridge in an interview with the Guardian. Far-flung communities were drawn into networks centered on the site, craft and agricultural production was intensified, and the architecture became grander, gradually overshadowing the original importance of the sanctuary.

    It is noteworthy to mention that the Dhaksalio promontory is now essentially a small islet due to the rise in sea level.

    However, 4,500 years ago it was attached through a narrow channel to Keros, which, according to previous research, was a maritime sanctuary, center of power and destination of pilgrimage where mysterious rituals were carried out with broken marble objects.

    The Mysterious UFO Incident with Many Witnesses above Gosford, Australia (1994)

    On New Year’s Eve 1994, police switchboards suddenly lit up with reports of an unidentified illuminated object flying over the waters around Gosford on the Central Coast of New South Wales.

    According to Sergeant Bob Wenning, callers reported seeing a “huge ball-shaped object with bright lights on the bottom”. To many of the witnesses, it appeared as though the illuminated craft was sucking up water from the bay with beams of light shining down from the object, penetrating the water.

    Some thought that these beams were turning the water to steam, while others described the water frothing.

    Fragments of Famed ‘UFO’ Discovered in Archives of London Museum

    Though experts deemed it a hoax, the ‘Silpho Saucer’ created a sensation when it was discovered in the 1950s

    In 1957, three men were driving by the Silpho Moor near Scarborough, England, when they saw a glowing object light up the sky and crash to the ground. One of the men got out of the car to investigate, and found a metallic saucer lying in the bushes. Though experts were emphatic that the object was not a UFO, the incident caused a sensation in the UK, with headlines proclaiming that “a real flying saucer” had been found.

    The saucer was studied and taken apart. Eventually, it disappeared, prompting some to speculate that it had been deliberately concealed. But six decades after the initial discovery, parts of the so-called “Silpho Saucer” have surfaced once again. As Sarah Knapton reports for the Telegraph, fragments of saucer were recently found inside a cigarette box in the archives of London’s Science Museum.

    The objects were identified by David Clarke, a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University and a consultant for the National Archives UFO project. He was giving a talk on the Ministry of Defense’s UFO files at the Science Museum when a staff member approached him and asked if he was aware that fragments of a “flying saucer” had been stored at the museum for decades. According to the BBC, the staffer in question, exhibition developer Khalil Thirlaway, had discovered the fragments in the cigarette tin while looking through folders connected to the aviation historian Charles Harvard Gibbs-Smith.

    “I was absolutely amazed when later we opened the tin box and saw the wreckage,” Clarke tells Knapton. “It was obvious these were the remains of the missing Silpho Saucer.”

    The saucer was covered in hieroglyphics when the men discovered it in 1957. After it was pried open, a book made of 17 thin copper sheets, each one inscribed with additional hieroglyphics, was found inside. According to Rafi Letzter of Live Sciencea local café owner subsequently claimed to have deciphered the hieroglyphics as a message from an alien named “Ullo,” who warned of impending atomic war and promised Earthlings that they “will improve or disappear.”

    Researchers at London’s Natural History Museum studied the object and concluded that the metal had no extraterrestrial properties and showed no signs of having hurtled through the high temperatures of Earth’s atmosphere. But despite experts’ assurances that the Silpho Saucer was just an elaborate hoax, the public was captivated, and the object drew comparisons to the Roswell “UFO,” ​the wreckage of a weather balloon, which was discovered in New Mexico in 1947, that excited similiar extraterrestrial fervor.

    On his website, Clarke cites UFO expert Jenny Randles, who says she believes the Silpho Saucer incident holds the distinction of being “the most costly and well organised hoax that has ever taken place in Britain.”

    As Knapton of the Telegraph reports, pieces from the saucer came to the Science Museum in 1963 and were promptly forgotten. The fragments may not have much scientific value, but Thirlaway, the exhibition developer, says his conversation with Clarke has illuminated the Silpho Saucer’s rich history.

    “We didn’t know there was this massive cultural history behind it, it really brought the items to life for us,” Thirlaway tells the BBC. “There’s a chance they may go on display as we’re now aware of their cultural significance.”

    Disc-shaped UFO spotted soaring above Mount Everest in spooky footage

    UFO watchers say the spooky object causes a silhouette and its height means it can't be a drone or helicopter

    By 

    A bizarre UFO has been spotted above Mount Everest.

    The disc-shaped object can be seen in the sky over the Himalayas.

    UFO watchers say the spooky object causes a silhouette and its height means it can't be a drone or helicopter.

    The image is one of 477 stitched together by mountaineer and filmmaker David Breashears as part of an amazing two-billion-pixel photo.

    The mosaic image is intended to show Mount Everest in all its glory and stretches from the camp of 500 prospective climbers at the base to the sky above.

    While it was created in 2012 it remains unclear exactly what the object is.

    UFO Today adds in its coverage that there have long been rumoured to be secret underground 'Area 51'-type bases in the area, especially in the virtually inaccessible Ladakh border area between India and China.

    Last year declassified CIA files revealed seven sightings of UFOs were reported in the skies above Nepal and neighbouring India and Bhutan in 1968.

    Two of those were in Nepal including one in which "a blazing object, flashing intermittently and accompanies by a big thunder sound" was seen disintegrating above the western part of the country.

    The report goes on to state that a "huge metallic disc-shaped object with a six-foot base and four feet in height was found in a crater, five miles north east of Pokhara."

    Portions of a similar object were found nearby.

    A former UFO hunter reveals why too many sinister happenings forced him to give up

    Image result for Why too many sinister happenings forced UFO hunter to give up

    A former UFO tracker claims Government phone-tappers forced the closure of his own organisation, the Unidentified Flying Object Information Bureau.

    Brian Leathley-Andrew chronicled reports of a plethora of strange craft in the late 1960s.

    Press cuttings at the time suggest that, in the Swinging Sixties, the truth was definitely out there – and lurking in the skies over the West Midlands.

    But his work made shadowy figures in the halls of power twitchy, Brian – who now refers to himself as Lord Brian Leathley-Andrew – believes.

    Brian Leathley-Andrew

    Brian Leathley-Andrew 

    They were concerned, he reckons, that he’d tripped upon dark technology being developed in secret locations.

    Now 71 and living in Bedworth, Warwickshire, the former electrical engineer says: “Society is being watched by the Department of Them. Say hello to System X.

    “Quite clearly, I had problems with phone tapping, bloody crude phone tapping. You could hear the click.

    “There were too many people looking, in hindsight.”

    It has been more than 50 years since Brian turned his back on the UFO bureau and his interest in Close Encounters has diminished.

    “These days I’m retired,” he admits. “I struggle to find time to tie my shoelaces.”

    But he’s convinced of the validity of some of the sightings, even if work was sometimes bogged down by hoaxers.

    UFO over a city

    He is also adamant that Big Brother was, indeed, watching – and listening in.

    His personal security, even safety, he says, were compromised.

    “There were a lot of mickey-takers,” he admits. “One man sent me pictures of a UFO.

    “It was the lid of exactly the same handcream my wife used. The jar was there on the table in front of me.”

    Half a century on, the work of Brian’s bureau lives on through the yellowed archives of our sister newspaper, The Coventry Telegraph.

    On December 3, 1968, Brian publicly admitted he was a scared man.

    Under the banner headline “Worried UFO Man Gives Up”, he announced the organisation’s closure.

    In the bombshell article, Brian alleged:

    • He had been watched by a man with a glowing orange face;
    • His phone cut off whenever he attempted to talk about UFOs;
    • He had a phone message from a caller “speaking unusual English”.

    “I have given this thing up and destroyed all the papers,” he told the Telegraph. “There have been happenings which have worried me and frightened my wife.”

    UFO

    UFO 

    For Brian, the alarm bells rang while repairing his mother’s car.

    “Suddenly, I noticed a man standing by the next door garage,” he told the paper. “Nobody had been there before.

    “His face was glowing orange. As I watched, the face changed to that of an old man before my eyes.

    “Then he turned and walked away.

    “You could not describe the first face in normal terms. It had eyes, nose and mouth in the proper places – but not of the shape that we associate with the human figure.”

    Soon afterwards, a visit to a fellow UFO watcher in Stoke was strangely scuppered.

    “All the lights in the house suddenly dimmed as though a huge electrical load had been put in the circuit,” he said.

    “This will happen once in a while normally, but it kept on happening. This is most unusual.

    “All this started two days after I opened my bureau. I want to publicly warn all teenage hobbyists that this is nothing to dabble in lightly.”

    Did ET get sent to Coventry?

    Judging by the flood of reports, Brian was in the right place to experience extra-terrestrial activity.

    At the time, the Coventry Telegraph carried page after page of sightings.

    And he was not alone in being gripped by ET fever.

    He believes the flood of sightings coincided with experimental research by the Government. The Rolls Royce factory was nearby, he pointed out.

    Coventry folk – even city policemen – were experiencing close encounters on a daily basis.

    The dramatic reports can best be described as “of their time”. Frankly, some of the Coventry Telegraph reporters seem to have approached the topic with tongue firmly in cheek.

    For example....

    “UFO Became A Mum” (September 28, 1968): 

    “A flying saucer which gave birth over Willenhall has been reported to the Unidentified Flying Object Information Centre of Mr Brian Leathley-Andrew.

    “An eye-witness phoned Mr Leathley-Andrew to report that the mother UFO was a giant sphere-like object seen in 1953. Sparks came from the underside of the UFO which gave birth to a small sphere. The incident was seen by people in a bus queue near Willenhall traffic island.”

    And there’s more...

    “Flying Saucers Not A Load of Tripe” (September 24, 1968): 

    “Flying saucers were the greatest mystery of our time and should not be dismissed as a load of tripe, Mr Wilf Grunau told Nuneaton Rotary Club.

    “Mr Grunau is managing director of the Awson Motor Carriage Company which has works at Solihull and Nuneaton. Mankind, he said, had been seeing strange things in the sky since the beginning of recorded history. Mr Grunau spoke of making two sightings himself over Coventry through binoculars. He said: ‘As a result, I believe in UFOs. All I can repeat is UFOs must be piloted by beings from other worlds or else they are a natural phenomena in our atmosphere’.”

    And yet more...

    “Saucer Over City Say Women” (March 31, 1969): 

    “Two Coventry women believe there may have been a flying saucer over the city during the weekend after they were woken by an ‘unearthly’ high-pitched whining accompanied by a glowing light.

    “‘I have been over all the possibilities and that is the only explanation I can think of,’ said 28-year-old Patricia Hughes.”

    ‘Do not be too sceptical about UFOs’

    Back in the 1960s and early 1970s members of the constabulary were less shy about admitting they had seen UFOs.

    After all, the whole nation were closet believers.

    On February 24, 1971, four bobbies gave their story to the Coventry Telegraph.

    It reported: “PC Brian Hewitt of B sub-division said: ‘We were attending a job in Lythall’s Lane at 6.15am when we all saw a strange object in the sky.

    “‘It was not a meteorite or anything like that. There were three single white lights in the sky over the Nuneaton area and moving at a great spread in a westerly direction towards Birmingham. They then turned northwards.

    “‘They were at the height of about two miles and the lights did not belong to the same object because they were so far apart. They appeared to be in formation.

    “‘They were also travelling at a tremendous speed because an aircraft flying at, say, 600mph at that height would appear to be going very slowly.

    “‘I don’t know what they could have been. I don’t believe in flying saucers or anything like that and I have tried to look at it in a reasoned way. I have checked with air traffic control at Birmingham Airport and the first aircraft to land there was later than the time we saw those lights. I cannot explain it.’”

    Such was the space fever that the police actually appealed for UFO sightings.

    On January 4, 1972, Warwickshire police sergeant Mike Davies told the Telegraph: “Don’t be too sceptical about UFOs.

    “I ask people to whom sightings are reported to listen to what is said. Then they can deduce what the object was not, and speculate what it was. I believe there is something beyond our comprehension and our technology.

    “The tendency is to take a few statements and then to make a sweeping statement about what an object was. People are too prepared to dismiss the subject.”

    The officer added: “I have yet to be convinced that some information about UFOs is not withheld by the authorities.

    “But supposing there was a statement that we were being invaded by people from another planet, what do you think the reaction of the public would be?”

    Google Maps: UFO CRASH alien landing discovered in ‘no-fly’ Arizona mountains

    GOOGLE MAPS: Satellite footage taken from a restricted access site in Arizona, US points to existence of alien UFO spacecraft.

    Google Maps, created in 2007, is a brilliant platform to spot suspected UFO sightings around the world.

    One such fascinating sighting is in footage taken from Arizona, which seems to showcase a UFO crash landing. 

    Situated in the deserted Arizona mountains, the footage shows a mysterious round black shape.

    Pointed blobs are seen on the top of the suspected spacecraft, in a formation that resembles the bottom of an overturned UFO, suggests a crash landing.

    Google Maps: This footage shows what seems to be a UFO crash

    Leafy trees surround the craft, which would provide a handy hiding place for an escaped aliens who might have survived a crash.

    Although there is no light coming from the object – usually characteristic of UFOs – it is possible the light function may have been broken in the crash.  

    The bizarre, unexplained UFO shape was first spotted by alien hunting team, @secureteam10 on Youtube.

    According to the person who posted it, the site where the suspected UFO was found is not only remote – it is also a no-fly zone.

    In the video, which he created to showcase this UFO alien conspiracy, he said the no-fly restrictions “interested him”.

    “As I said, it could be a crash site, or it could be a testing site.

    “What really interests me is not only the military no-fly restriction put on this exact area, but the SECOND no-fly restriction literally placed dead-centre on the location of this object.

    "That's a hell of a lot of military-grade restriction overkill for whatever this thing is.”

    Recently, two men were spotted on Google Maps fighting in boiler suits on an island in Norway.

    On an empty road, the two figures can be seen in bright orange costumes.

    They appear to be fighting with one man raising a stick against the other.

    However, it appears to just be a prank that is common with citizens who spot the famous Google car.

    WHAT IS UP WITH THOSE PENTAGON UFO VIDEOS?

    According to a New York Times story, a secretive Pentagon program analyzed reports of UFOs. But the associated videos raise some questions.
    BILL CLARK/CQ ROLL CALL/GETTY IMAGES

    ON DECEMBER 17, 2017, a newspaper printed a story titled“Real U.F.O.’s? Pentagon Unit Tried to Know.” No, the headline wasn’t surrounded by text about post-baby bods and B-listers’ secret sorrows. Because it was on the front page of The New York Times.

    The article describes a federally funded program that investigated reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs, the take-me-seriously acronym that includes UFOs). And within the story, the Times embedded videos of two such UAPs.

    Although the article was careful not to say that unidentified meant extraterrestrial, the Department of Defense acknowledged the program, and it was easy enough for readers to draw the conclusion that these videos could show alien aircraft. The Times supplemented one of the clips with a first-hand account of a Navy pilot who was sent to investigate “mysterious aircraft” that appeared—poof!—at 80,000 feet, dropped down to 20,000, and then seemed to hover before either leaving radar range or launching straight up. Weird, right?

    The discovery, and federal acknowledgement, of a UFO of non-earthly origin would be revelatory—and the Times’ scoop seemed to suggest that such a worldview-shifting scenario is at least not not-true. That the videos came courtesy of the Defense Department made it easier for readers to put faith in their validity.

    “The video footage, in this case, is what captures people’s imagination and is part of what made this case more compelling,” says historian Greg Eghigian, a recent NASA and American Historical Association Fellow in Aerospace History.

    But there are a few missing links in this narrative chain, links that need to be forged before anyone has enough information to accurately interpret these videos, let alone conclude they even remotely suggest anything extraterrestrial.

    But wait, this story broke the news that the DOD had a secret UFO program and had released secret video! That’s huge!

    Here’s what happened. About a decade ago, the Department of Defense inaugurated a UFO program, budgeted at $22 million according to the Times. It went by AATIP, for Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, though the Times story refers to it as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Its purpose was to investigate flying foreign weapon threats—ones that exist now or could be developed in the next 40 years. The product of legislation cosponsored by senators Harry Reid of Nevada and Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, the program, according to Pentagon spokesperson Audricia Harris, was primarily executed through a contract with Bigelow Aerospace—a company owned by Reid’s constituent and donor Robert Bigelow. (The wealthy businessman, who is best known for his inflatable space habitats, still owns a company called Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, which has also researched UFO reports.)

    The Pentagon program was run by Luis Elizondo, who told WIRED he took the lead position in 2010. (WIRED was unable to verify that Elizondo worked on AATIP, but Harris does confirm that he worked for the Defense Department.) The AATIP team, Elizondo says, took strange-sighting reports from pilots, as well as associated data like camera footage and radar returns, and tried to match them with known international aircraft signatures. “What we found many times was the fact that the aircraft did not belong to anybody,” Elizondo says. Sometimes, he says, the craft displayed behavior the AATIP team couldn’t explain.

    Elizondo has become a kind of celebrity—in the wider world, arguably, but definitely in the UFO community. This week, those UFO researchers and enthusiasts and skeptics gathered in Fort McDowell, Arizona, for their annual International UFO Congress. And Elizondo, who had brought them closer to the capital-D Disclosure they’ve long sought, was supposed to be there. Instead, this evening at 6 pm Eastern, the Congress will show a prerecorded interview in which Elizondo will answer submitted questions from the community— “many of the questions that have gone unanswered,” according to a press release.

    People have been clamoring for those answers—and Elizondo characterizes himself as being all about the answers. He says he wanted, for instance, to speak more publicly about the crafts’ non-nationality. “That fact is not something any government or institution should classify in order to keep secret from the people,” Elizondo told the Times, and the website linked to his new venture makes reference to the declassification processes the films had to undergo. The Times portrays the program as “shadowy” and possessing “excessive secrecy.”

    But those are all funny things to say, because it doesn’t seem like the Pentagon ever held the program’s data or documents that close, and it doesn’t seem like the videos in that story ever were classified.

    “If they were officially declassified, they would have to have been officially classified,” says Nate Jones, director of the Freedom of Information Act Project at the National Security Archive. And a classified video would likely have a markingat least at the beginning and end, even after it was okayed for public consumption. Someone—at the Times, at To The Stars—could have cut those introductory and closing seconds from the video, but why would they do that, when both groups were emphasizing the direct-from-DOD legitimacy of the videos? “It looks very strongly like these weren’t released through any proper DOD declassification channels that I’ve ever seen,” says Jones. “I’ve seen a lot of DOD declassification in response to FOIA, in response to mandatory declassification review, in response to proactive disclosure. And it doesn’t look like this.”

    Here is, perhaps, why: While the details of the program weren’t widely known, Harris says that the program files the Pentagon has pored over so far—Pentagon staffers have been reviewing AATIP documentation since around the time the Times story broke—were unclassified.

    Of course, there are endless quibbles to be had over classification. Elizondo, for his part, clarified to WIRED that he didn’t believe the videos themselves were ever classified: They were just stored on a classified system. Either way, though, it seems that they made their way into the world without the typical release process, which the Department of Defense requires of “all documents that are submitted for official public release.”

    Information is classified, according to the National Archives, if its improper release would present a national security problem. So why would a secret program looking at aerial anomalies—“aerodynamic vehicles engaged in extreme maneuvers, with unique phenomenology,” says Harris—remain unclassified? Sounds like those UAPs weren’t so threatening after all.

    Well, fine. But the videos were still part of the program, even if they weren’t classified. It even says right there: “Courtesy of US Department of Defense.”

    It’s true, that’s what the December Times story says about the videos. But there are two important things to know about that credit.

    First of all, Harris maintains the Pentagon isn’t the source of the videos. “The official who is authorized to release this video on behalf of DOD did not approve the release of this video,” she says. She’s adamant: “I stand firm that we did not release those videos.”

    Which means that although the videos may have originated within the DOD, which Harris acknowledges they may have, there’s no public proof or Pentagon acknowledgement of their association with AATIP. Of course, perhaps the Pentagon wants it that way. In the 1950s, according to a bookby investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen, the CIA’s Psychological Strategy Board concluded that the public’s potential reaction to UFOs (belief, followed by hysteria) constituted a national security threat. The '50s were a long time ago, but we still enjoy Jell-O salad every so often, so maybe we would still be susceptible to social chaos if we were to learn about flying objects of questionable origin.

    And in any case, one of the Times’ video credits has since changed. WIRED contacted the Times reporters in late December, asking them to comment on how the paper obtained the videos, and on the Defense Department’s denial that it had released them. Reporter Ralph Blumenthal replied on behalf of the three coauthors in early January, “We don't discuss the processes by which we obtain information.” But he added, “We have official documents showing the origin of the videos and the process of review provided within the DOD before they were released.”

    In mid-January, though, the Times changed the caption of the lead video in its story. Both videos still have captions stating they were “released by the Defense Department’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.” But the page now simply says the first video is “by,” not “courtesy of,” the Department of Defense.

    Journalists gonna journalism, though. Of course they’re protecting their sources. But I just so happen to know that there’s another place that has original video straight from the DOD, and they’re up-front about everything.

    Ah, you must be talking about To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science.

    In case other readers are not already caught up, To the Stars is a company cofounded by former Blink-182 member and longtime paranormal enthusiast Tom DeLonge. The company wants to collect data on unexplained phenomena, maybe even building out tech based on what they observe. Oh, and sell books, movies, music, and merchandise related to To the Stars’ efforts

    It also, coincidentally, now employs Luis Elizondo. Elizondo says he wanted to speak about what he says the AATIP team had seen, but he didn’t think that was possible from within the Pentagon. So he resigned in October 2017, he says, signing on with To The Stars soon thereafter (although WIRED’s FOIA request for Elizondo's resignation letter, which was quoted in the Times, turned up no records, according to the Office of the Secretary of Defense/Joint Staff).

    Also coincidentally, To the Stars launched a video-centric site on the same day the Times story came out—carrying the same two fighter-jet clips that appeared with the article. The so-called Community of Interest currently hosts one pilot report and one video interview along with the gun-camera videos—“the first official UAP footage,” the page says, “ever released by the USG.” (That’s the US government, for all you sheeple.)

    While the academy’s site may make bolder claims than the Times did, that doesn’t make those claims more true. The Community of Interest page says the videos come from the Defense Department, have gone through the official declassification review process, and have been approved for public release. Further, it boasts that the academy can prove it with chain-of-custody paperwork. Its two UAP videos, together, have garnered nearly 3 million views on To The Stars’ YouTube channel, where the footage begins with on-screen text characterizing the videos as official and released.

    Those chain-of-custody files aren’t public, but To The Stars did show WIRED some paperwork suggesting that the videos had gone through the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review (DOPSR), which is one part of the DOD’s document release procedure. DOPSR, says this guide, conducts “security and policy reviews on all documents that are submitted for official public release.” “It means that one of the steps for the review of a product has been completed,” says the Pentagon’s Harris.

    But that documentation doesn’t actually clear material for release. “An approval from DOPSR does not equate to public release approval,” says Harris. To release AATIP videos by the book, someone would have had to coordinate with the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs. So the videos on the To the Stars don’t carry any more weight than the same videos published by the Times.

    OK, fine. But those videos are still spooky. If we can’t trust the feds or the paperwork, we can trust our own eyes, right?

    True, the videos show some weird stuff. But without a clear chain of custody, we can’t even know whether they were part of AATIP at all, or trust that they haven’t been tampered with.

    And a copy of one of the much-touted videos has been online since at least 2007. UFO researcher Isaac Koi (a pseudonym under which he writes about the topic) established that the second video in the Times story, of an event in 2004, appeared online in 2007. Someone posted it on the conspiracy website Above Top Secret, and Koi delved into its origins. The first appearance he could find was on a website for a company called Vision Unlimited—a film production company. An archived 2007 version of vision-unlimited.de confirms that the footage was hosted there back then.

    That archival film matches the Times video.1

    After all the unclassifications and release-denials, this information shouldn’t surprise you. We’ve pretty clearly established that whatever these videos show, they don’t seem important enough for the Pentagon to get in a tizzy over. And while the fact that one of them has shown up online before doesn’t prove that they didn’t originate with the military, it does call that chain of custody into question. Without official confirmation or available documentation (and more documentation than WIRED saw), you can’t be sure what you’re viewing is unadulterated footage, and you can’t be sure who recorded it first.

    To The Stars Academy acknowledges that the 2004 video has existed elsewhere; its explanation is that those incarnations were leaked versions and that theirs is original. But there’s no public proof for that statement.

    It’s true, a Navy pilot named David Fravor did give an account to the Times of his 2004 experience with a UFO, and an unnamed source provided a report in September 2017 of the same events to To The Stars Academy. But squint just a little to see that there’s no definitive link between these accounts and that video. The witnesses give a description of an alleged strange event, and the video shows an encounter with a strange object. But without a time and location stamp of some sort, viewers can’t know whether the witnesses are actually describing what’s in the video. And, beyond that, there’s no definitive link between this video and AATIP.

    In the end, also, there’s no way for the public to know whether, five seconds after the other film ends, the pilots don’t discover the “fleet” of crazy flyers wasn’t from Finland. Or the Air Force.

    Fine, hater. What would it take to make you believe?

    In lieu of federal nondenial, or more public paperwork, there should exist hard data—like air traffic control reports, or the radar returns Elizondo mentioned—that could help establish the videos’ actualness and officialness, as well as the UAPs’ strangeness. If someone—in an aircraft, on the ground, on a ship—sent radio waves up, and they bounced off a flying object, the timing of their return and the way those waves had changed could reveal the object’s speed, its distance, and sometimes its shape.

    Will To The Stars Academy be releasing those?

    Yes, Elizondo says. But how and when and where, he doesn’t know.

    How Will Humans React If We Discover Alien Life? This New Study Just Found Out (and Surprised Us)

     Image result for How Will Humans React If We Discover Alien Life? This New Study Just Found Out (and Surprised Us
    IN BRIEF
    Though many have speculated that humans would respond negatively to the discovery of alien life, we have very little scientific research on the subject. According to a new study, however, people in the U.S. would likely have a positive reaction to the news.

    If science fiction’s to be believed, humans are going to absolutely freak out when we first encounter extraterrestrials — we’re talking pandemonium, nothing short of out-and-out hysteria. From Independence Day to Alien, your average human in a movie doesn’t take well to meeting our newly-discovered alien neighbors, who, to be fair, are usually threatening the widespread elimination of humans in some way.

    But if you talk to the average person, you might get a different picture of what a reaction to first contact might look like. Most people aren’t so alarmed. In fact, they’re pretty optimistic about what meeting aliens might mean. Most of us are like the kids in E.T., rather than the terrified adults: A reaction that’s less reflexive hostility, more peaceful curiosity.

    A new study suggests that, in the event of an extraterrestrial encounter, the rioting and looting would be kept to a minimum — humans would actually react pretty positively to the news.

    Michael Varnum, assistant professor of psychology at Arizona State University, took several different approaches in his study, which he presented during a press briefing at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Austin, Texas.

    For the first part, he and his team used a computer program to analyze the language used in news articles about discoveries that indicated the possibility of alien life. The program focused on the emotional timbre of the articles and found that the media coverage was generally positive. The researchers also made a (hypothetical) announcement that humans had detected extraterrestrial microbial life, and asked more than 500 people to offer their written responses. Again, the language the authors used was largely positive.

    As for something that feels a bit more real? In the final part of the study, the researchers asked 500 people to respond to one of two articles in the New York Times about real scientific discoveries: evidence of microbial life on a Martian meteorite and the creation of synthetic life in a lab. Interestingly, participants reacted more positively to the possibility of alien life than the human capacity to create life.

    “[T]aken together, this suggests if we find out we’re not alone, we’ll take the news rather well,” said Varnum in a press release.

    Varnum’s studies, it should be noted, only took American perspectives into account. First contact would affect the entire human population (and probably some other types of organisms, too), and different cultures might respond to the news very differently.

    Plus, it’s easy to be optimistic about something that you know hasn’t happened. Many of us are simply rosy about going to the gym, but hate it once we’re actually there (or, conversely, we hate the idea of going to the gym, but love it once we’re actually exercising). After all, we are humans, and we do tend to do a great job of tricking ourselves into looking forward to things.

    If scientists have their way, the question of whether extraterrestrials exist won’t be hypothetical for long — increasingly sophisticated technology will help us detect aliens, if in fact they’re out there. Playing out possible scenarios and getting a sense for how humanity would react to such a discovery could help governments come up with better-informed policies for how to handle first contact, when and if it arises.

    Ultimately, we can at least hope that humans would have an upbeat reaction to the discovery of alien life. We can test the waters, make policies, or play out different scenarios in the fictional space all we like.

    But the best way to figure out how humans will react to extraterrestrials? Find the aliens. Then we’ll really get to see if humans are as upbeat as researchers predict.

    Aliens and Extraterrestrial Life: An Islamic Look

    Questioner

    Irfan

    Reply Date

    Sep 19, 2017

    Question

    Where does Islam stand on extraterrestrial life forms? Does Islam say they exist?

    Consultant


    Answer

    Extraterrestrial Life

    Salam Dear Irfan,

    Thank you for your question and for contacting Ask About Islam.

    Before we speak about the Islamic view on extraterrestrial life forms, we need to be clear about what they are.

    They are not creatures like angels, whose existence is a matter of faith for Muslims as well as for some other religious people.

    If they indeed exist, extraterrestrial (literally, “outside earth”) beings have a material existence in the world of space and time on some planets other than the earth.

    Such beings may be simple one-celled creatures similar to bacteria, but most people commonly use the term extraterrestrial to mean intelligent life on other planets.

    A Scientific Understanding

    From a scientific point of view, there are a few important points we should not lose sight of when discussing life forms.

    Life requires complex and subtle chemical reactions for it to come into being as well as to exist. And such reactions require a liquid medium to facilitate them.

    But we should know that liquids cannot exist isolated in space or on bodies without gaseous pressure pressing down on a solid surface.

    Now of all the known objects in our solar system, only the earth is definitely known to have the conditions needed for liquid to exist under the prevailing conditions.

    It is also possible that Jupiter’s moons Europa and Ganymede as well as Saturn’s moon Titan may have liquid on or below the surface.

    So there is a distant possibility that they may have some life forms existing there.

    And we know that of all liquids, it is water that actually does have some very special properties that are crucial to the formation of life.

    Possibilities in the Quran

    In this context, it is well worth remembering how the Noble Quran teaches us of the connection between water and life:

    Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before We cleaved them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? (Quran 21:30)

    Today, scientists tell us that life began in the sea when simple molecules bonded together and became self-replicating.

    And Allah said He created all life from water and raised a protective canopy over the Earth. Allah knows best, and all we can do is to study, to research, and to reflect.

    There are verses in the Quran that apparently favor the belief in the existence of such creatures, though we cannot find any particular verse explicitly stating their existence.

    For example, the very phrase “rabbul `aalameen” (meaning “the Lord of the worlds”) as a description of God points to the possibility of the existence of beings in many worlds.

    We read in the Quran several verses where God’s creatures of various kinds are mentioned:

    Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills. (Quran 42:29)

    Based on the above verse, among others, some of our scholars of the Quran permit the belief in the existence of life on other planets or anywhere other than the earth according to one’s judgment.

    Note the expression in the above verse “living creatures He has scattered through them.” There is a reference here to creatures on planets other than earth.

    Aliens and Extraterrestrial Life

    The word used for “living creatures” is dabbah and according to the famous Quran translator Muhammad Asad:

    The word dabbah denotes any sentient, corporeal being capable of spontaneous movement; it is contrasted here with the non-corporeal, spiritual beings designated as angels.

    - (Asad, Muhammad. The Message of the QuranEngland: Book Foundation, 2003, 449)

    On the same verse, Abdullah Yusuf Ali comments:

    It is reasonable to suppose that Life in some form or another is scattered through some of the millions of heavenly bodies scattered through space.

    - (Ali, Abdullah Yusuf, The Quran: Text, Translation and Commentary, Ad-Dar Al-`Arabiah, Beirut, 1938, 1314).

    So one day, if scientists come forward with solid proof for the existence of extraterrestrial beings, it should not be a surprise for Muslims.

    Cultural Obsession

    Aliens and UFOs have provided great scope for the kind of fiction that appeals to people’s imagination while drawing heavily on their increasing interest in the wonders of science and technology.

    Particularly in the United States, there is fertile ground for all kinds of “fashionable” myths to be advanced and propagated.

    Think of the number of psychics, clairvoyants, spiritualist mediums, and other self-proclaimed experts who flourish there on the “educated ignorance” of the gullible public.

    People in the East, who have almost forgotten all these superstitions, are led to believe by the media that these are part of the postmodern lifestyle now renovated and closely followed by a glamorous West.

    People in the East tend to swallow almost anything spewed out by the American visual media, falling easy prey to such beliefs.

    Aliens and Extraterrestrial Life

    From the Islamic point of view, it is all left to science, as the Quran clearly and categorically supports all kinds of honest scientific investigations.

    Scientific Exploration Encouraged!

    Islam encourages humankind to explore the universe, as this helps to lead to deeper faith in the Almighty Creator.

    Scientifically, no conclusive proof has been discovered so far of the existence of life on other planets or in other galaxies.

    But the universe is such an enormous entity that we cannot discount the possibility of life existing, as on earth, in some remote planet in one of the millions of galaxies.

    This is the sound scientific stand towards everything that is yet to be known conclusively.

    We do not know all the secrets of the universe, nor can we know them.

    And finally, this issue of the existence of extraterrestrials is not related to our fundamental faith, and a belief or disbelief with regard to them need not trouble us overmuch.

    I hope this answers your question. Please stay in touch.

    Salam.
