Overal ter wereld, van China tot Nederland, worden de laatste weken vreemde dingen waargenomen in de lucht.
Van een lichtbron aan de hemel voordat de zon opkomt, tot grote bizarre vreemde wolken die niets anders zijn dan grote ruimteschepen in vermomming.
Iedere week opnieuw worden er vreemde dingen waargenomen boven onze hoofden. Een aantal daarvan zal te maken hebben met de eindtijd, weer anderen met buitenaardse bezoekers en voor weer andere fenomenen zal een natuurlijke verklaring te vinden zijn.
Vandaag een aantal van die bijzondere dingen te beginnen in China, waar een vrouw, Zhi Ruo Lu, de volgende opname maakte.
Ze liep buiten op straat toen ze het fenomeen opmerkte. Eerst dacht ze dat ze hier te maken had met een bijzondere wolk, maar toen ineens begon het te gloeien en zich te verwijderen van de andere wolken.
Van China naar Tenerife waar de volgende opnames werden gemaakt. We ontvingen deze via een lezer (dank!) die het volgende zegt:
Hierbij een paar mooie foto's van een vreemde "wolk" die in Tenerife (Puerto de la Cruz) werd gefotografeerd eind 2017 (september-oktober). Ik heb de foto van een vriendin die er woont ontvangen en vond het een zeer vreemd fenomeen.
Dan komen we in Nederland en daar worden vreemde luchten gefotografeerd (dank!):
Hoi, naar aanleiding van het bericht over het paarse licht heb ik misschien wel een heel bijzondere foto voor jullie die mijn dochter enkele weken geleden naar mij stuurde.
De foto is gemaakt in etten-Leur vlak bij Breda. Vandaag las ik over het paarse licht en moest gelijk aan deze foto denken dus dacht ik stuur hem even naar jullie op want het is idd vreemd en dat is voor mij vrij normaal want ik weet gewoon dat ons iets te wachten staat.
Ik hoop dat jullie wat aan de foto hebben maar daar ben ik wel van overtuigd en ben al meer dan 10 jaar dit soort berichten aan het volgen dus denk dat dit soort berichten wel belangrijk zijn.
De foto is genomen met een nieuwe Iphone en is zeker nooit bewerkt
En dan een ander vreemd verschijnsel in Nederland:
Een lezer filmt de lucht in Bodegraven (dank!) voordat de zon opkomt en er is duidelijk een soort tweede lichtbron te zien die er niet hoort te zijn.
Alsof er voordat de "normale" zon opkomt er zich al een tweede zon boven de horizon bevindt.
De lezer die de opname maakte, schrijft het volgende:
Ik denk dat mijn filmpje wel interessant is, hoop dat jullie eens tijd hebben ernaar te kijken, lijkt of er een planeet of iets dergelijks voorbij komt? Benieuwd naar jullie visie. Tijdstip filmje 7:47 VOOR de zon op kwam dus
En omdat veel van de tekenen die nu voorkomen volgens menigeen te maken hebben met de eindtijd en een mogelijke opname in verband met de vele ruimteschepen bij de zon, hier een mening van een christen (dank!), die de volgende theorie heeft:
Graag wil ik in gaan op het gezegde ( EINDTIJD)
Dat is een begrip dat veelzijdig is ;
Maar beginnend bij de (opname). Als die genoemd word, en gebeurd dan begint dan pas de eindtijd .( openbaring 12 de zoon weggerukt tot Gods Troon)
Na de opname verschijnt Jezus Christus na 7 jaar op de Olijfberg als een overblijfsel in Jeruzalem dat nog niet verwoest is, Hem zullen aanroepen en de berg zal splijten voor een doorgang.
En Hij zal die ,die door de doorgang kunnen ontsnappen leiden naar een plaats in de woestijn ( de vrouw die een plaats in de woestijn heeft openb. 12)
Daarna als de gelovigen in de Hemel aankomen zal er een gevecht zijn volgens openb 12 vanaf vers 7 ; zij gaan er namelijk uit !( hier kom ik later op terug)
Dan gaat Jezus Christus aan het werk met het Israël dat in de woestijn is ,en zij gaan het land opruimen. Daar vestigt Hij namelijk Zijn Koningschap , en van daar uit over de wereld in een tijds bestek van om en na bij 33 jaar, daarna komen de 1000 jaren nog ( de leeuw bij het schaap/de slang speelt met het kind / de ouden worden niet ouder , staat allemaal in de Bijbel.
Dus eind der dagen nog lang niet, maar je bekeren tot God kan al vanaf nu!(hoe dat moet staat ook in die zelfde bijbel )…..
Dan de objecten die jij aangeeft met zeer kolossale ruimte schepen ,die voor de zon langs gaan, de zon is in jou gedachte iets heel groots ;wat volgens het b
Bijbels principe niet zo is . de zon zit volgens dat geburen in de aarde met de maan en de andere sterren (de aarde omgekeerd ). Aardschaal naar buiten en alles er midden in .
(stichting vlichthus heeft hier wel een verdere beschrijving voor)
Als de waarheid dit uitbeeld dan is alles in een keer heel klein, en is de aarde de grootste diameter .
Terug komen op hen die uit de hemel gaan ,zijn zij die vermeld staan als de duivel en zijn engelen , die moeten dus een ander plek in nemen en dat is hier alleen nog op aarde ,waar zij ook geoordeeld zullen worden.
Geloof is niet moeilijk ,maar gewoon doen .
Onderzoek de schriften want zij zullen van Mij getuigen (Jezus de Christus)
WETENSCHAPAstronauten moeten zich tijdens hun missie niet langer uit hun ruimtepak wrikken als ze hun behoefte willen doen. Met de nieuwe Orion Crew Survival Systems Suits (OCSSS) zullen ze voortaan makkelijker hun behoefte kwijt kunnen. NASA werkt immers aan het ontwerp van een ruimtepak met een ingebouwd toilet.
Tot nu toe bedraagt de gemiddelde tijd die een astronaut zich in zijn ruimtepak bevindt ongeveer tien uur. Vooral luiers worden als noodoplossing gebruikt. Ideaal is het echter niet. “Het werkt niet altijd naar behoren. Soms is er een lek, maar het zorgt er wel voor dat je je ruimtepak niet hoeft uit te trekken om naar het ruimtetoilet te gaan. Dat is altijd een lastig karwei”, vertelt Kirstyn Johson, een ingenieur van het NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Bovendien kunnen astronauten tijdens een wandeling buiten het ruimtetuig niet naar het ruimtetoilet. Ze dragen dan een luier onder hun pak, maar kunnen die niet te lang aanhouden vanwege de hygiëne. Ontlasting gaat momenteel nog in zakjes en urine in speciale tanks die teruggaan naar aarde en daar worden verbrand. De garderobe van de astronauten was dan ook dringend aan een update toe vonden ze bij NASA.
Het resultaat is een nieuw ruimtepak dat door de astronauten zes dagen lang gedragen kan worden. Ze kunnen in dit pak zowel eten als hun behoefte doen op een ingebouwd toilet zonder dat ze hiervan hinder zullen ondervinden. Het ingebouwde toilet is overigens niet het enige voordeel van het nieuwe pak. Zo worden astronauten voortdurend voorzien van schone lucht, water en voldoende zuurstof. Genoeg om het zes dagen uit te houden.
Last November, an unusual incident over Oregon made headlines after a mystery aircraft–resembling a jet by some descriptions–was tracked by various aviation authorities. The incident produced no results in terms of who had been piloting the aircraft, and for what reason, although attempts to communicate with and track the aircraft ultimately proved unsuccessful, as it had reportedly been “invisible” on radar at the time.
However, new details about the case have now emerged, following a new Freedom of Information Act request which provides further details on the unusual incident.
Tyler Rogoway, a writer for The Drive‘s “The Warzone,” first heard about the story from associates of his in aviation, as well as via a Reddit thread that appeared seemingly in relation to the incident. This information was later confirmed through dialogue with the FAA, NORAD, and USAF officials.
Along with a summary Rogoway penned for The Warzone, a series of Freedom of Information Act appeals were made in relation to the incident. Now, several months after the incident took place, FOIA data released to The Drive helps to further corroborate the incident, and according to Rogoway, represents what “could be one of the most insightful instances of official documentation surrounding such an encounter that had already been confirmed to have occurred by both the FAA and the USAF.”
Included with the release were a number of audio recordings of telephone conversations between officials, discussing the incident and the actions that were taken by official agencies in response to it.
According to the newly released data, the object was described as being a large aircraft by the pilots who saw it, who most commonly referred to it as a jet. Its coloration appeared to be white, or at least light-colored, and the aircraft was flying at an altitude of approximately 37,000 feet. It was also reported that the object was “moving at a clip” (fast, in other words) and that it was neither responding to attempts at radio communication nor was it being detected on radar or by traffic collision avoidance systems on the nearby aircraft.
What can we determine from this, and do any observations come to mind immediately? One thing that seems clear is that the object was probably not an experimental drone, as some suggested previously since it is unlikely that any unmanned remote-controlled aircraft would have to be as large as the aircraft seen over Oregon. Also, while it may be tempting to treat the object as an “unknown,” most descriptions did indicate that the object most closely resembled a jet (although distance had been a prime factor in making further details about its appearance less easily determinable).
Altogether, Rogoway has done a fine job reporting on the incident and gathering additional information about it. Also, he acknowledged what the circumstances here seem to entail, in light of the New York Times report on the Pentagon’s “secret” UFO program, noting that, “after recent reports unmasking how the Pentagon remains highly interested in encounters just like this one, it holds even more weight than it did three months ago.”
As to the origins of the aircraft that was observed over the northwest last fall, there is still a lot that remains unclear. Despite reports that likened the object’s appearance to that of a large jet, we can’t be certain as to what kind of plane the incident involved. Equally perplexing is the question of what it was doing flying at this altitude, and in broad daylight, while remaining unresponsive to queries from the FAA and other agencies (and let us not forget that concern over the aircraft’s presence prompted the scrambling of a group of F-15s, with the mission of intercepting the object).
As with the more esoteric incidents involving unexplained aerial phenomenon, this one leaves a lot to the imagination and even more questions than answers with the release of the new FOIA data. Pending further data in the future, this UFO “cold case” will for now remain one of the many mysteries of the skies that occasionally still transpire in modern times.
An unexplored underwater labyrinth full of ancient mysteries might sound like the stuff of adventure fiction, but archeologists in Mexico have discovered just that. The recent discovery of the underwater cave network is being described as “the most important submerged archaeological site in the world.” That’s according to Guillermo de Anda, an underwater archaeologist from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History who is working on exploring and excavating the underwater tunnels system beneath Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. The tunnels, known as the Sac Actún System, were discovered last year and immediately stunned geologists with their size. So far, researchers have discovered a subterranean labyrinth of tunnels stretching for 347 kilometres (216 miles), but it is believed that there are more tunnels which haven’t been discovered yet.
Some of the entrances are so small, divers must remove their breathing equipment to enter.
While the tunnel network itself is fascinating, it’s what’s been inside the tunnels that has archaeologists so excited. The labyrinth is believed to have flooded sometime between 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, creating the perfect conditions to preserve all of the archaeological wonders inside. So far, some of the most tantalizing finds are human remains believed to belong to ancient Maya people. The Maya weren’t known to be this far east in Mexico during those years, leading researchers to speculate that this underwater labyrinth could have once been a cave system used as a shelter on a long-forgotten ancient trade route before it flooded.
Footage from one of the dives shows the cave is full of human remains waiting to be analyzed. Or, you know, left in peace.
Also found in the caves are Maya burial sites, ceramic fragments, and remains of extinct plant life dating back to before the end of the last Ice Age. One of the archaeologists working at the site calls the Sac Actún System “a tunnel of time that transports you to a place 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.” Guillermo de Anda adds that these tunnels occupied an important place in Maya belief systems and cosmology, possibly meaning there could be even more mysterious discoveries waiting at the bottom of this underwater labyrinth:
It is a very powerful, magical region, where the supernatural reigns, where the gods and deities lived, where the good and the bad coexist, and it was also where men came from.
Who knows what could be down there in tunnels yet to be explored? The blind race of Morlocks descended from ancient Maya traders know. But they’ll never tell.
We'll start in the outback, where a traumatised family was allegedly lifted off the ground by aliens.
It was still dark in the early hours of January 20, 1988, when the Knowles family was driving along the remote Nullarbor Plain.
The seemingly mundane trip from Perth to Melbourne quickly turned to terror when they encountered an unidentified flying object that tormented them for 90 minutes.
A large glowing object "like a big ball"chased Faye Knowles and her adult sons Patrick, Wayne and Sean down the highway, before landing on their roof and plucking them into the air.
"It apparently picked the car up off the road, shook it quite violently and forced the car back down on the road with such pressure that one of the tyres was blown," a police spokesman told media at the time.
In a state of shock, Sean Knowles put his foot on the accelerator as his mother screamed but, according to reports, their voices distorted like time was slowing down.
"I wound down the window and I felt this thing on the roof... all of this smoke stuff started coming into the car, the car was covered in black stuff," Faye Knowles told reporters after the incident.
"It was a small light and all of a sudden it became big like this, like a big ball.
"We thought we were dying, then we got out the car and we hid behind a little tree and the bushes and it couldn't find us."
The family eventually made it to Ceduna and reported the bizarre events to police who took the report seriously, given the state of the car, which was dented and had dust over it.
The story made headlines around the world with sceptics and believers alike trying to make sense of what happened on that lonely stretch of road.
UFO reports in the state can be traced back to the beginning of the twentieth century but it wasn't until the early Cold War that they started appearing all over the place.
It seems that, in an atmosphere of heightened political tension, people became spooked by strange lights in the sky.
UFO researcher Keith Basterfield said Port Augusta was home to one of the state's first sightings.
"Even in the beginning of the flying saucer era in 1947 when the whole thing took off, we had one of the earliest sightings in Port Augusta," Mr Basterfield said.
"Five metallic objects were seen by three people working at the Commonwealth railways there.
"Even the government astronomer — we had such a person at the time — couldn't explain that sighting."
Four people in three separate cars all spotted it in a clearing they passed — an orange rectangle similar to an illuminated door in the scrub, with a strange figure standing inside.
Police were baffled, so Mr Basterfield and his team drove out to investigate.
"We had a look at the site, we took soil samples from the area, we had the samples analysed looking for something unusual there," he said.
"That's not your typical flying metallic saucer but it's a very, very strange set of observations by a group of independent people.
South Australia's Astronomical Society's Paul Curnow said it's pretty common.
"The average city person doesn't look at the sky very often and sometimes when they do look up and see something strange, they can't really explain it," Mr Curnow said.
When Curious Adelaide phoned SA Police to check whether it could shed some light on the matter there was a moment of silence, before some laughter.
Senior constable Mick Abbott did however make the following comment:
"If you stay on the line, I'll transfer you to agents Mulder and Scully from our X-Files division."
When the ABC contacted the CSIRO there was a similar reponse.
According to Paul Curnow, it's still common to get several dozen to hundreds of UFO reports each year in South Australia alone.
But what's being reported is changing, he told us, with fewer sightings of flying saucers hovering over the land.
"Probably for every 10 cases you get, nine can be explained in mundane terms," Mr Curnow said.
The majority of cases, unfortunately for those hoping for an encounter with the extra-terrestrial, have a logical explanation.
"Quite often people report a little silver dot in the sky [and it] turned out to be an aircraft," he said.
"A lot of these things like planes, satellites, planets, even searchlights sometimes, can all add to what people are reporting."
So is the truth really out there?
UFO researcher Keith Basterfield was based in Adelaide when the Knowles family incident occurred.
"My first thought was 'here is a very interesting story that we can carry out some hard science on'," he said.
"We've got a vehicle, we've got reported unusual dust on a vehicle, we've got a number of witnesses.
"If we could document all that we'd have a very strong case for saying something unusual occurred."
However, the conclusion he reached was far from the extra-terrestrial encounter portrayed by the media.
The car had been forensically tested with nothing unusual found, and Mr Basterfield had a more ordinary explanation for the bright light.
"We figured it was potentially a mirage caused by a temperature inversion that night," he said.
That kind of mirage can make lights a long way in the distance curve over the Earth's horizon and appear to be much closer than they actually are.
"Although they saw the light approaching them, they never saw the [source of the] light reach them, so it never actually got to them," Mr Basterfield said.
"It disappeared at that point in front of them so we figured a mirage of a track light several kilometres away could explain that."
He also had a simple explanation for the car jumping and vibrating.
"If a tyre explodes under your car going at really high speed you're going to get vibrations, you're going to get brake dust entering the vehicle," Mr Basterfield said.
"It was simply a case of misunderstanding, of seeing a light in the distance, a tyre bursting and those things had built up into a story."
While it seems science offers an explanation for many of the sightings in the state, you'll need to decide for yourself whether it's more tale than truth.

UFO METAL MYSTERY: Material allegedly stored by Pentagon is 'not from this earth'
UFO METAL MYSTERY: Material allegedly stored by Pentagon is 'not from this earth'
SUBSTANCES allegedly recovered from a UFO were found to be made of materials "not from this earth”, it has staggeringly been claimed. A top UFO expert told Express.co.uk he has been assured that the material has been tested and has been found to have inexplicable properties.
Alejandro Rojas says he was told the material was not from the earth.
In December, a New York Time article revealed details of a top-secret £16 million US Pentagon study into the potential threat posed by UFOs.
The report claimed the Department of Defense (DoD) Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Programme (AATIP) even recovered "unknown alloys" believed to have come from a UFO that had been tested and found to have properties unknown to science.
The project was run by military intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, on the fifth floor of the Pentagon’s C Ring.
He has revealed two former classified videos of suspected UFOs that were looked at, but nothing to confirm the metal actually exists.
However, he has given an exclusive interview to the organisers of the UFO Congress, which is the world's biggest UFO conference, and took place in Phoenix, Arizona, this month.
Alejandro Rojas, host of the UFO Congress said Mr Elizondo had told him more about the metal during the exclusive interviews that were screened at the event.
Mr Rojas said: "I can tell you it is not an alloy like the New York Times claims.
"I shared at our conference that Elizondo has told me it is a 'meta material' with strange isotopic values indicating it is not from earth."
A metamaterial is a material engineered to have a property that is not found in nature. They are made from assemblies of multiple elements fashioned from composite materials such as metals or plastics.
No other details have so far surfaced, with some people claiming the materials were provided by UFO investigators, and others believing they were recovered by the government.
Mr Elizondo said in the interview: "The question is do they come from outer space or inner space or somewhere in between. I don't know.
"The data we have been seeing is so advanced it is hard enough for us to replicate our observations with our understanding of quantum mechanics. But for this type of technology to be available when we first started seeing it, I think is beyond improbable, I'm not going to say impossible, but I think it is really, really unlikely to come from another country like Russia or China.
I shared at our conference that Elizondo has told me it is a 'meta material' with strange isotopic values indicating it is not from earth.
Alejandro Rojas
"It leads to the next quest if it is not ours and not theirs, then whose is it?
"I don't know whose it is and that is why we are asking the questions and why we did what we did for the last 10 years and why we need to continue doing what we are doing because we need to ask those questions.
"We don't know who they belong to, we don't know who they are or what they are, but we know they are real."
The bulk of the money allocated by the DoD for the project reportedly went via a contract to Bigelow Aerospace in Las Vegas, run by billionaire US businessman Robert Bigelow, who is also working with NASA to create a new expandable spacecraft.
Last May, Mr Bigelow stunned the world by declaring during an interview with prime time CBS current affairs show 60 Minutes intelligent aliens are secretly living on Earth, and the government knows.
The report claimed under the billionaire's direction buildings at the company headquarters were “modified” to allow the storage of the materials.
However, no images have surfaced of the alleged material, nor have any details of where the objects was found, or any reports of tests carried out.
No further details were released at the time about where they were found, how many there are, or what happened to them.
It also does not appear any official reports on the materials have been released,
Express.co.uk asked Mr Rojas why there had been no release of the material, or images or further details.
He did not directly respond, but said: "I find Mr Elizondo to be genuine, and although some UFO researchers feel we should be careful to trust a government insider with a background in intelligence, the revelations he has shared thus far are extraordinary.
"Many have been skeptical of Nick Pope, who held a similar position as Mr Elizondo in the UK Ministry of Defence, but Nick has turned out to be invaluable in legitimising the need to investigate UFO cases, and I believe Elizondo will prove to be the same."
The SETI Institute is a collective of scientists looking for evidence of alien life in the cosmos.
In a radio podcast of the Big Picture Science Skeptic Check, produced at the SETI Institute, a panel of experts discussed the New York Times article and looked at the staggering claims in the New York Times article about the metal being found.
Show host Seth Shostak said more details should be given on the material and what exactly was done to the buildings to store the product.
He said: "Why would the government give the material to business entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, why not to science experts in atmospheric physics or even aviation?
"Look people have been clamoring for physical evidence for decades. If that evidence is stacked up in some buildings in Las Vegas, let's open the doors.
"At the moment the promise of exotic artefacts in storage is nothing more than that.”
Fellow host Molly Bentley said: "Why aren't the artefacts from unidentified aerial phenomena in his building being made available to material scientists or other researchers for study.
"If the evidence isn't released, no one can evaluate it.”
Express.co.uk has approached Mr Bigelow through Bigelow Aerospace to try to find out what happened to the material.
We have also contacted Mr Elizondo through To The Stars Academy, asking if they know what became of the materials.

Un OVNI a été observé au-dessus de La Garde dans le Var
Un OVNI a été observé au-dessus de La Garde dans le Var
Le vendredi 16 février 2018, dans la soirée, des habitants de La Garde, dans le sud de la France, ont observé « une lumière rouge stationnaire au-dessus du plan de la Garde ». Cet OVNI a filé « brutalement vers le littoral » avant de virer « au vert ».
Michel Durbano est agriculteur et conseiller municipal. Ce soir-là, il a, lui-aussi, été témoin de cet phénomène inexplicable. Il raconte qu’au moment des faits, il « n’avait rien bu ». Il a expliqué ce qu’il a vu :
« Nous avons aperçu mon épouse, un ami et moi-même vers 18h35, une lumière rouge intense dans le ciel nous avons d’abord pensé à un drone. La hauteur semblait raisonnable (une centaine de mètres). Elle ne bougeait pas et était silencieuse. »
« Puis d’un coup cette lumière s’est élevée rapidement et est devenue verte. Mon ami, qui a un drone, a dit que ça allait trop vite et trop haut pour un drone, sauf peut-être un drone militaire. La lumière est ensuite rentrée dans les nuages en restant juste à la limite. Le plafond était plus haut que le sommet de la Colle noire et du paradis qui nous entourent, nous avons continué à l’observer. »
Après 2 minutes d’observation, l’OVNI est parti à une vitesse inimaginable :
« Puis toujours en silence elle est partie plein sud à très grande vitesse. En 2 ou 3 secondes, elle est passée de l’aplomb à la limite La Garde – Le Pradet (vers le carrefour de la Diligence) à l’aplomb de la mer . Ensuite après quelques secondes sur place toujours en limite des nuages, elle s’est dirigée toujours à très grande vitesse vers l’est et est passée derrière la Colle noire et nous l’avons perdue de vue. »
Malgré son scepticisme et sa prudence, l’homme avoue que ce qu’il a vu ce soir-là est difficilement explicable :
« Compte tenu de la vitesse de déplacement, ça ne pouvait pas être un hélico. Ni un avion parce qu’il tournait à angle droit et sans un bruit. Il n’est pas possible non plus que ce soit une lanterne thaïlandaise parce que la lumière se déplaçait à contresens du vent. »
Tony C., un autre habitant de la commune de la Garde, a aussi assisté à ce phénomène. Il témoigne :
« Mot pour mot, je peux faire la même description s’étonne-t-il. C’était en début de semaine dernière et je promenais mes chiens à la sortie de La Crau, derrière le nouveau cimetière. Il était environ 18h30 quand on a aperçu, mon fils et moi, une lumière rouge qui planait au-dessus des champs. »
« Tout d’un coup, elle s’est mise à monter à la verticale et la lumière est devenue verte. Après quelques instants elle a complètement disparu, sans doute à cause de l’altitude. Mon fils a pensé à un drone mais la vitesse à laquelle l’engin est monté laisse septique. Depuis je continue de scruter le ciel tous les soirs quand je sors mes chiens mais je ne la vois plus. »
The Mutual UFO Network recently announced a new Director of Research, Dr. Christopher Cogswell. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and "hopes to bring a seriousness and strong research focus to this field," according to the MUFON website.
While we wish the doctor the highest degree of success, we would be remiss if we failed to observe the organization where he chooses to volunteer has an infamous history of substantially obstructing the very efforts he claims to undertake. His predecessor, Robert Powell, bailed for reasons reportedly including the MUFON choices of speakers at its annual symposium in 2017. In a nutshell, the organization's missionstatement of dedication to scientific study is miles apart from many of its actual activities. If Dr. Cogswell is going to help the situation a number of circumstances will need to be addressed, from employing hypnosis as a memory retrieval tool to endorsing psychic channeling, and those are just some of the problems.
A lack of transparency and public accountability has long plagued MUFON. We have explored it at length on The UFO Trail, including posts such as UFO Community Members Weigh in on Dubious MUFON Speakers. Long before Powell's concerns became more widely known, writers and researchers such as Nigel Watson, Frank Warren, Robert Sheaffer, and several more expressed relevant points about the quality of MUFON speakers and contributed to the 2015 post.
Back in 2014 we attempted to obtain explanations of what MUFON termed a collaboration with a French government agency, GEIPAN, that investigates unexplained aerial phenomena. Statements from MUFON leadership arguably were embarrassingly vague, while, in stark contrast, the head of GEIPAN proved quite willing to discuss the circumstances when contacted.
Other posts, such as parts one and two of the 2013 offering, MUFON, Science and Deception, further demonstrated the leadership's lack of willingness to field questions. MUFON's Jan Harzan has been contacted numerous times, including for comment on how an org dedicated to scientific study could promote such entirely speculative notions as Barbara Lamb's claims surrounding ET-human hybrids, but did not respond.
Likewise, Harzan failed to respond to inquiries about the criteria used to grant David Jacobs a lifetime achievement award. Jacobs is a historian who practices hypnosis as a memory enhancer, claimed to have been harassed by an ET-human hybrid that sent him instant messages, and suggested to Emma Woods to wear a chastity belt during a long distance telephone hypnosis session, among numerous other dubious actions.
In preparation for a 2013 article on a reported UFO crash in Casselberry, Florida, attempts were made to consult several MUFON personnel. Multiple emails inquiring about the case were sent to the Executive Director, Director of Investigations, Florida State Director, and a former Florida Chief Field Investigator. None responded. We could go on at length, but the issues run even deeper still than irresponsibly promoting unsubstantiated conjecture under the guise of science or failing to share information about investigations.
From where I sit, it is significant that the Pentagon indirectly admitted funneling funds to MUFON via Robert Bigelow. This was clearly done through Bigelow's now known receipt of funds and subsequent MUFON-BAASS initiative, yet it is virtually a non-story in UFO Land. Community members for years accused MUFON of acting as an arm of the federal government, and are now validated for all practical purposes, yet the wheels of sensationalism continue to turn with hardly a pause. You can't say we weren't warned.
After serving as MUFON International Director from 2006 to 2009, James Carrion wrote in a 2011 blog post that it was not Robert Bigelow who funded MUFON's work for Bigelow Aerospace, but "sponsors" Bigelow revealed to John Schuessler but not the rest of the MUFON Board of Directors. Carrion's statements have aged well (See my post, Pentagon-UFO Story Reflects Fundamental Problems, for further info and commentary).
The Pentagon acknowledges the Defense Intelligence Agency invested money in the UFO community. Up until that time, such interests and circumstances were officially denied. They were taboo, scandalous. It was out of bounds to so much as speculate the IC was in bed with UFO researchers and their organizations. Capital "S" Skeptics cried conspiracy and called for proof. Now it's confirmed and met with a shrug on both sides of the UFO community aisle.
I'd like to direct our attention for a while, please, to the fact the intelligence community has full on acknowledged involvement in the UFO community - this century, here and now. Others told us so and they are now validated, yet it's seemingly not a story, in lieu of analyzing film clips, exchanging opinions on inconclusive claims about alleged aliens, and minimizing its potential significance. In my opinion, if funding sources for one project are called into question, then funding sources for many projects are called into question, especially those involving the same individuals and organizations.
MUFON has a long way to go to gain any credibility, not to mention competently addressing who's been running its organization. Please join me in considering some of the circumstances that brought us to the point in which the Pentagon casually confirmed what amounts to funding the Mutual UFO Network.
During the 1990's, the org's lead alien abduction researcher "confidentially," as he put it to me in a series of emails, provided Robert Bigelow - the guy who would later play point man on the DIA's Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program - with data from case files of alleged abductees in exchange for a reported $14,000. John Carpenter, a Missouri social worker and hypnosis advocate, defended his actions, which included choosing not to obtain consent from the 140 people prior to releasing their files to Bigelow and his National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS).
MUFON officials, including John Schuessler, who sat on a NIDS board, primarily chose the stance of silence on the topic. Col. John Alexander, a former employee of the Bigelow-founded NIDS, declined comment in 2013. Alexander was asked about any interest he may have had in the files; why he suspected his employer, Bigelow, may have desired to obtain them; if other alien abduction researchers also shared files with Bigelow as Carpenter claimed may have been the case; and if Alexander was at liberty to discuss any relationships between Bigelow corporations and intelligence agencies. Alexander, a man who has repeatedly presented himself as willing and able to talk inside baseball on UFOs and the intelligence community, didn't want to discuss it.
The above image is a copy of the second page of a 1996 letter apparently composed from Carpenter to Bigelow, discussing copying and sending 140 case files, as well as expressing thanks for payment. The image was obtained from researcher Gary Hart, who included the letter and other items in complaints filed to MUFON and the State of Missouri Division of Professional Registration. Read more in the 2013 blog post on the Carpenter Affair linked above.
NSA Memo
In 2017 I published a post about NSA largely releasing a document via my FOIA request about an NSA assignee's attendance at a UFO symposium. The existence of the document, though previously withheld, was long known to researchers such as Philip Klass. Although we did not previously know its specific contents, Klass confidently suspected it was authored by Tom Deuley. Klass was in all likelihood correct for reasons provided and linked in my 2017 post. The document proved to be a memo, titled Information request solicitation, in which its author informed NSA of events and actions of researchers at the 1978 MUFON Symposium.
From the now mostly declassified memo:
Ambient Monitoring Project
In 2014 I did a blog post on the ill-fated Ambient Monitoring Project (AMP). The undertaking was initially titled the Abduction Monitoring Project, but was changed for reasons that reportedly included efforts to increase credibility and attract qualified researchers. The initiative involved placing instruments to measure environmental changes in the homes of individuals reporting alien abductions. It was headed up by long time ufology staple and career intelligence officer Tom Deuley, who likely composed the above NSA memo and served in leadership capacities of multiple UFO organizations, including MUFON. Funding sources for the AMP were not clearly disclosed and details of project results were never released. From the 2014 blog post:
Deuley wrote in the 2008 Journal article that the AMP was jointly proposed to MUFON, FUFOR [Fund for UFO Research] and the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS). The collaboration reportedly resulted in the UFO Research Coalition, or the URC, as Deuley dubbed it. Exactly where the funding originated, however, was not clear, and Deuley did not at all address the amount and specific terms of project funding.
The proposal was given to the Fund for UFO Research, Deuley stated in the article, “with the intention that they in turn offer the idea to some prospective donors who might be interested in this project.”
“Over time,” he continued, “the Fund’s efforts led to sufficient funding for the work.”
“With a good prospect for a sponsor,” Deuley not so clearly explained further, “the URC continued to fine-tune the proposal. After several rounds of changes and negotiation with the prospective funding organization, the proposal for the Ambient Monitoring Project was accepted.”
Who ever the “prospective funding organization” of which Deuley may have been referring, how ever the proposal may specifically have been “accepted,” and where ever reported “sufficient funding” may have actually originated, Richard Hall told UFO Updates List the project was out of money. Hall informed them of that nine months before Deuley's July, 2008, article which suggested funding was in hand and data was in the process of being analyzed.
[...]
In 2008 I emailed inquiries about the project to various board members of the UFO organizations involved. An email was sent to Deuley, who I requested provide details that might be available for public release, particularly concerning such information as final analysis and project personnel. He replied August 2, 2008:
“The analysis is in progress and will include a full report when all of the cases have been analyzed. Until then we feel it is prudent to not publicize who is doing the analysis or where it is being conducted. The report is most likely to be printed in theMUFON Journal, and if extensive to be published for sale by the UFO Research Coalition.”
I sent a similar inquiry to David Boras of CUFOS, who briefly replied on August 3, 2008, “Statistical analyses are ongoing and not yet available.”
Astronomer Dr. John Carlson, also of FUFOR, and I exchanged some brief messages. Even after I made him aware Deuley had just days prior stated in an email to me that AMP data was in the process of being analyzed, Carlson wrote in an August 5, 2008 email there were no funds to analyze the data, so he believed the project was effectively dormant.
Such discrepancies and contradictions within MUFON and UFO orgs have now become common to the point of no longer attracting meaningful discussion. Inaccuracy and a lack of direct answers from leadership have come to be expected.
UFO Research Coalition
Robert Bigelow
It was repeatedly stated by those familiar with and involved in the AMP that it was a collaboration of CUFOS, MUFON and FUFOR. Tom Deuley reported in his 2008 MUFON Journal article that the collaboration resulted in the forming of the UFO Research Coalition. The FUFOR website indicated the Coalition was formed at the suggestion of Robert Bigelow.
"Disagreement over control of the UFO Research Coalition lead to a complete break with Robert Bigelow," the website further stated, indicating the "disagreement" culminated in 1994. The conflict was apparently resolved by the time of the MUFON-BAASS venture of 2009, when many of the same organizational leaders were on deck, as can be explored in detail at the bottom of the 2014 blog post, What Happened to the Ambient Monitoring Project?.
Conclusions
There may be some events of interest under the descriptions of high strangeness or things in the sky. I don't claim to know, and as regular readers are aware, my primary area of focus migrated into social aspects of the UFO community. While I don't profess to conclusively know much about what all is being reported and witnessed, I'm pretty confident you aren't going to get any substantial explanations from the latest crowd of self-proclaimed insiders, researchers, and disclosure activists. We simply have no reason to think so, barring extreme changes of operating procedures. It is more than reasonable at this point, if not arguably naive not to call into question the funding sources and agendas of those directing the UFO research community.
It is also reasonable to desire financial accountability from tax-funded projects, such as the AATIP, and nonprofit corporations, namely MUFON, that collect public financial support while enjoying tax benefits. You are entitled to expect accurate and reasonably transparent reporting of budgets and activities. We clearly have a long, long way to go to achieve such transparency in the UFO community. I am strongly of the opinion its obstruction and the related issues are much more worthy of attention than the unsubstantiated sensational claims promoted by the involved parties.
TRUTH IS OUT THERE - Baffled US intelligence officers leak UFO footage THEMSELVES to get help from unwitting public in IDing mystery objects, Pentagon ‘X files project’ chief claims
TRUTH IS OUT THERE - Baffled US intelligence officers leak UFO footage THEMSELVES to get help from unwitting public in IDing mystery objects, Pentagon ‘X files project’ chief claims
Luis Elizondo said military bosses declassified and released the unexplained videos in a bid to solve the mystery
EXCLUSIVE
By Emma Parry, Digital US Correspondent
THE former head of the Pentagon’s real life X-Files programme revealed that defence officials released top secret UFO videos to the public - in a bid to find answers.
Luis Elizondo, the former head of the top secret programme, said that two mysterious videos of UFO encounters, published late last year were released so that people could look at them and help “put together more pieces of the puzzle”.
Now in a video clip shared exclusively with Sun Online, Elizondo claims that he did not “trick” or gain the videos by “false pretense” - but that defence officials willingly declassified and released the footage - so members of the public could try and identify the mysterious objects in them.
When asked how the once-classified videos were released, Elizondo said: “No, there was no trick and there was no false pretense.
Elizondo said the Department of Defense declassified the views and allowed them to be released
“The videos were released in accordance with the strict manner that DoD (Department of Defense) prescribes, following DoD manuals and regulations involving the release of information…. furthermore, an additional step was taken to have the videos reviewed by foreign disclosure representatives - in fact the most senior foreign disclosure representatives - in the department.
“Ultimately it required OCA or “original classification authority” approval and review to release the videos.
“So in essence, I didn't really release anything - the Department of Defense released those videos.
New footage shows 'UFO' recorded by US fighter jet pilots
"The documentation is held by the Department of Defense and the justification for releasing those videos were exactly as stated that was to create an unclassified database that people could then access and try to help us identify the signatures we were seeing.”
He adds: “I suspect we will always get more information as people with, with additional expertise, experience and background continue to look at the videos … we will begin to put together more pieces of the puzzle.
“There are experts I would submit now that are out there, perhaps within this audience that is watching this video now, that have the ability to look at some of these videos and help us have a better understanding of what exactly we're looking at.”
YOUTUBE
Luis Elizondo oversaw the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program
A full recorded interview with Elizondo was shown at the International UFO Congress - in which the former AATIP manager revealed his opinion on the existence of UFOs and whether or not they should be presumed a threat.
Nick Pope, who used to do a similar job to Elizondo for Britain’s Ministry of Defence told Sun Online: “The whole situation is bizarre. The idea seems to have been that when the Pentagon's imagery analysts drew a blank, they decided to put two or three videos into the public domain, to see if anyone else could solve the mystery.
“Maybe this was limited to specialist aviation forums at first, but inevitably these things get cross-posted and end up on YouTube.
TWITTER @NICKPOPEMOD
Ex-MoD employee Nick Pope is an expert on UFOs
“While I never did anything like this with any of the 'unknowns' we received at the MoD, it's certainly an imaginative tactic.
“The Pentagon's processes are complicated, and declassifying something isn't quite the same as authorizing something for public release, so despite Luis Elizondo's detailed explanation, there's still controversy about whether due process was followed.”
He added: "These bombshell revelations give us the clearest insight yet into the Pentagon's secret UFO project.
“So far, all we've heard from Luis Elizondo are a few carefully crafted quotes in the original newspaper story, and some brief TV news interviews that lasted just a few brief minutes.
The Pentagon revealed in December that they have been secretly investigating UFO sightings for five years
“In this new video we learned a lot more about AATIP, and the man who ran it: his background, how he got involved in AATIP and became director, how they got cases from not just the military but also from the intelligence community, and how the UFO videos got into the public domain.
“There's also more speculative material where Elizondo reveals what he thinks about UFOs, and the related question of whether or not he thinks they're a threat.
“On this point, his view - which was the same as mine when I did a similar job in the MoD - is that until you can prove something isn't a threat, the sensible military presumption should be that it might be.”
JOHN CHAPPLE
UFO expert Alejandro Rojas said getting official information about the videos had been difficult
Ufologist Alejandro Rojas, who organized the International UFO Congress and shared the clip with Sun Online, said: "Elizondo's revelations regarding the UFO videos they have released thus far are a bit of a mixed bag.
"It is fascinating to hear the scrutiny the release went through when the DoD chose to release the videos. It also great to hear more about what Elizondo and his group ruled out as they attempted to identify the objects in the video.
"He addresses many of the questions some of the more skeptical researchers have posed.
"To me, it sound like the videos were released in order for members of the general public to look at and scrutinize them to help find answers in a citizen science or crowd-sourcing type project. However, getting more official information about the videos sounds difficult.
"So far, apart from what has been shared by Elizondo and the New York Times, the DoD has not been forthcoming with additional information.
"Fortunately, Elizondo has promised us a follow-up interview and it seems he intends to continue to share information as long as it has been approved for release. His insider's view is invaluable."
The congress organizers will be releasing more from Elizondo's video later this week on their YouTube channel.
When it comes to identifying existential threats posed by technological innovations, the popular imagination summons visions of Terminator, The Matrix, and I, Robot — dystopias ruled by robot overlords who exploit and exterminate people en masse. In these speculative futures, a combination of super-intelligence and evil intentions leads computers to annihilate or enslave the human race.
However, a new study suggests that it will be the banal applications of A.I. that will lead to severe social consequences within the next few years. The report — “Malicious Use of Artificial Intelligence” — authored by 26 researchers and scientists from elite universities and tech-focused think tanks, outlines ways that current A.I. technologies threaten our physical, digital, and political security. To bring their study into focus, the research group only looked at technology that already exists or plausibly will within the next five years.
Image recognition software has already surpassed human competence.
What the study found: A.I. systems will be likely expand existing threats, introduce new ones and change the character of them. The thesis of the report is that technological advances will make certain misdeeds easier and more worthwhile. The researchers claim that improvements in A.I. will decrease the amount of resources and expertise needed to carry out some cyber attacks, effectively lowering the barriers to crime:
The costs of attacks may be lowered by the scalable use of AI systems to complete tasks that would ordinarily require human labor, intelligence and expertise. A natural effect would be to expand the set of actors who can carry out particular attacks, the rate at which they can carry out these attacks, and the set of potential targets.
The report makes four recommendations:
1 - Policymakers should collaborate closely with technical researchers to investigate, prevent, and mitigate potential malicious uses of AI.
2 - Researchers and engineers in artificial intelligence should take the dual-use nature of their work seriously, allowing misuserelated considerations to influence research priorities and norms, and proactively reaching out to relevant actors when harmful applications are foreseeable.
3 - Best practices should be identified in research areas with more mature methods for addressing dual-use concerns, such as computer security, and imported where applicable to the case of AI.
4 - Actively seek to expand the range of stakeholders and domain experts involved in discussions of these challenges
How A.I. can make current scams smarter:example, spear phishing attacks, in which con artists pose as a target’s friend, family member, or colleague in order to gain trust and extract information and money, are already a threat. But today, they require a significant expenditure of time, energy, and expertise. As A.I. systems increase in sophistication, some of the activity required for a spear phishing attack, like collecting information about a target, may be automated. A phisher could then invest significantly less energy in each grift and target more people.
And if scammers begin to integrate A.I. into their online grifts, it may become impossible to distinguish reality from simulation. “As AI develops further, convincing chatbots may elicit human trust by engaging people in longer dialogues, and perhaps eventually masquerade visually as another person in a video chat,” the report says.
We’ve already seen the consequences of machine-generated video in the form of Deepfakes. As these technologies become more accessible and user friendly, the researchers worry that bad actors will disseminate fabricated photos, videos, and audio files. This could result in highly successful defamation campaigns with political ramifications.
In just four years, generative neural networks learned to create photorealistic human faces.
Beyond the keyboard: And potential malfeasance isn’t restricted to the internet. As we move toward the adoption of autonomous vehicles, hackers might deploy adversarial examples to fool self-driving cars into misperceiving their surroundings. “An image of a stop sign with a few pixels changed in specific ways, which humans would easily recognize as still being an image of a stop sign, might nevertheless be misclassified as something else entirely by an AI system,” the report says.
Other threats include autonomous drones with integrated facial recognition software for targeting purposes, coordinated DOS attacks that mimic human behavior, and automated, hyper-personalized disinformation campaigns.
The report recommends that researchers consider potential malicious applications of A.I. while developing these technologies. If adequate defense measures aren’t put in place, then we may already have the technology to destroy humanity, no killer robots required.
If you’ve ever wished you were taller, you might want to consider becoming a space traveler. The absence of gravitational pressure in orbit has been shown to stretch out the spines of astronauts, an effect that’s fictionalized in The Expanse franchise with the belters, a super-tall human population raised in microgravity.
While this might seem like the kind of therapeutic treatment you’d get in a specialty salon, it comes with all kinds of drawbacks, including back pain while in space, and a greater chance of slipped discs after returning to Earth’s gravity. That’s the catch to this magic height-enhancing technique—like belters, astronauts experience pain when their bodies are rejiggered by differing gravity environments (though not quite to the torturous extent shown in the scifi series).
To address these negative impacts, scientists at King’s College London and ESA’s Space Medicine Office have been developing a “Skinsuit,” which is a tight spandex outfit designed to squeeze astronauts so that they retain their normal skeletal structures.
It’s understandably tough to develop a unitard that can trick the human body into thinking it’s still under Earth’s gravity, without making astronauts feel like they’ve been freeze-wrapped. Early versions of the Skinsuit, designed to simulate 80 percent of Earth’s gravitational pressure, were too constrictive to be worn for periods longer than a few hours.
However, the most recent “Mark VI” model of the Skinsuit dialed the pressure back to 20%, which provided a better tradeoff for astronaut wellbeing.
“The first concepts were really uncomfortable,” said Philip Carvil, a space physiologist at King’s College’s Centre of Human & Aerospace Physiological Sciences, in an ESA profile of the Skinsuit project posted Wednesday. “The Mark VI Skinsuit is extremely comfortable, to the point where it can be worn unobtrusively for long periods of normal activity or while sleeping.”
Carvil and his colleagues use half-filled waterbeds as a stand-in for microgravity when they test out these Skinsuits in the lab, but earlier versions have also been worn in space by ESA astronauts Andreas Mogensen and Thomas Pesquet during stints on the International Space Station.
As humans push farther into space, and spend longer periods away from the gravity well we evolved to inhabit, these suits will become more important to our comfort and survival.
Animation Tool Helps Alien-Hunting Scientists Track a Planet's Habitable Zone
Animation Tool Helps Alien - Hunting Scientists Track a Planet's Habitable Zone
By Calla Cofield, Space.com Senior Writer
A planet orbiting in the "habitable zone" of its parent star has the potential to host liquid water on its surface — a critical ingredient for life as we know it. But what if a planet is in the habitable zone only some of the time? Can life still thrive there?
It's lucky for life on Earth that the sun's habitable zone is effectively stationary and unmoving, providing life with a steady source of radiation. But that isn't the case in every star system. Physicist Tobias Müller and astrophysicist Nader Haghighipour wrote a computer program that demonstrates how the position and shape of habitable zones can change rapidly in double- and triple-star systems, which are thought to be extremely common in the universe.
On a website the two scientists created to host the program (and make it available to other researchers) is an animation of the star system KIC 4150611.
The three-star system KIC 4150611 has a peculiar orbit that creates a rapidly changing "habitable zone" (in dark green). The black dots are stars.
The animation shows three stars engaged in a complicated orbit — two of them (K1 and K2) orbit close together, completing a single orbit in less than two Earth days. The third star (A) orbits farther away, looping around the close-knit pair on the order of months. But star A's orbit is not circular, so its distance to K1 and K2 changes. When the three stars come close together, they form a single habitable zone. But as they move apart that zone separates into two separate habitable zones. (In the video above, the dark green area is the habitable zone; the light green areas show places where scientists think habitability might be possible, but that would depend on other factors including the nature of the planet's atmosphere.)
The oddly-evolving habitable zone of the three-star system KID 5653126. The black dots are stars and the dark green region is the habitable zone.
In another extreme scenario, in the star system KID 5653126, a stellar pair orbit closely around each other and create a mostly stable habitable zone. But a third star orbits the pair and wanders erratically through the habitable zone — a potentially disastrous event for any planets that might reside there.
These sample animations can be found here: http://astro.twam.info/hz/. A complete description of the HZ calculator can be found here: http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0004-637X/782/1/26/meta. There are no known planets around the two star systems mentioned above, but there are star systems with unstable habitable zones that are known to host planets. If researchers are going to go hunting for life on those worlds, it would be good to know ahead of time how a changing habitable zone affects a planet's habitability.
At home on Tatooine
The fictional planet of Tatooine from the "Star Wars" universe orbits two suns. The planet is a harsh desert, but was supposedly temperate enough for life to evolve. Scientists have shown that planets around double-star systems exist in the universe, and that they could even support life. But how would the orbits of the two parent stars affect temperatures on the planet?
The HZ calculator provides some insight to this question. The real-world double-star system Kepler 453 is home to two stars, one of which is about five times larger than the other. That means the smaller star effectively orbits the larger one (as opposed to the two stars both orbiting a point in space between them). At least one planet is known to orbit both stars, but the movement of that smaller star means the amount of radiation reaching the planet changes regularly.
The orbit of two stars in the system Kepler 453 causes the surrounding habitable zone to shift. The white dot shows a potential planet in the system that might be affected by the changing levels of radiation.
In the animation produced by the HZ calculator, the planet's position in the habitable zone is an illustration of how much radiation the planet is receiving from its parent stars. Over the course of a year, the planet drifts from the middle of the habitable zone (the dark-green region) to the very inner edge of that zone (the light-green region), where temperatures might be too hot to support liquid water on the planet's surface.
This would result in large seasonal swings on the planet's surface, according to Elizabeth Tasker, an associate professor in solar system science at the Japanese Aerospace Agency (JAXA). She addressed this issue during a recent talk on planet habitability at a meeting of the committee on Astrobiology Science Strategy for the Search for Life in the Universe for the National Academy of Sciences. The meeting was held at the University of California, Irvine.
"If you have very extreme seasons brought on by an eccentric orbit, can you still discuss habitability? Can life survive this?" Tasker said. "Well, of course, we don't really know, but the outlook isn't completely bleak."
Tasker said exoplanet scientists have theorized that planets that drift across the inner edge of the habitable zone during an orbit might experience extreme seasons, but could potentially retain liquid water during those swings. Perhaps on the fictional planet of Tatooine, Luke Skywalker's aunt and uncle harvest moisture during the cooler seasons, and live off their harvest through the harsher periods brought on by the movement of the two suns.
It could also be that life-forms on the planet go underground or hibernate during the hot periods; but if that's the case, it could be difficult for Earth-bound scientists to detect those life-forms.
This kind of information is becoming relevant as scientists get closer to being able to look for signs of habitability on alien worlds. With thousands of planets to choose from, where will scientists go looking? The HZ calculator is one tool researchers can use to help narrow the list of planets to target for follow-up study, according to Tasker.
Müller, a professor of mathematics and computer science at the University of Groningen in Germany, told Space.com in an email that the HZ calculator has been helpful in illustrating that habitable zones are not static, something that can be difficult to understand without a visual aid, he said. He and Haghighipour, a researcher at the Institute for Astronomy and the NASA Astrobiology Institute at the University of Hawaii-Manoa, have collaborated on scientific papers that made use of the HZ calculator.
No guarantees
This illustration shows the "habitable zone" of Earth's sun. Earth lies inside the habitable zone, while Venus and Mars lie just outside it, in a region where certain conditions could make liquid water possible.

A planet that lies in the "habitable zone" of a star has no guarantee of being "habitable." But a planet in the habitable zone receives enough radiation from its parent star (or stars) that the temperature on its surface could be right for hosting liquid water on its surface, an essential ingredient for life as we know it. Too much heat and liquid water evaporate; too little heat and the water would freeze.
For a planet to have liquid water on its surface, it has to have a surface, which means it has to be rocky, like Earth, not a gas giant like Jupiter or Saturn. The planet also has to have an atmosphere, but that atmosphere has to be moderate — Venus' atmospheremakes the planet's surface far too hot for water to remain a liquid, but that may not have always been the case. And scientists think it's likely that many planets migrate through their solar system, so they could move out of the habitable zone, killing off any life that might have emerged there. Most stars experience a change in their radiation output near the beginning of their lifetimes, which could have the same effect.
"When we talk about 'the habitable zone,' we're really just talking about a crude sample selection technique," Tasker said. "It is not a quantitative measurement of a planet's habitability."
Tasker also mentioned that there are multiple scenarios in which life might survive outside the habitable zone. Take, for example, a moon orbiting a very large, hot planet around a star. The moon not only receives heat from the star, but may also receive heat from the planet. In addition, if the moon has an eccentric orbit (meaning not circular), it could experience extreme tidal heating (wherein the gravity of a planet pulls on the interior of a moon, creating a potential internal heat source for the moon). In that case, the moon might be too hot if it lies in the habitable zone of the parent star, but could be perfectly habitable if it lies just outside the habitable zone.
In total, researchers have identified thousands of alien planets, and there are new instruments coming online that will identify even more. Advanced instruments, like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), set to launch in 2019, will allow scientists to study those known planets in more detail, and search for complex "biosignatures" in the exoplanet atmospheres, or chemical combinations that are typically produced by life-forms. The upcoming Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WFIRST), set to launch in the mid-2020s, and the proposed Large UV/ Optical/Infrared Survey (LUVOIR), could also search for signs of habitability on exoplanets.
"I personally think this is perhaps the most exciting time for our field," Tasker said during her presentation. "I think, perhaps, in the next 10 years we're going to be able to really start talking about habitability on another planet.
"Now whether we will discover — conclusively — life, I think that's more questionable, but the amount of information we're going to get from things like JWST or WFIRST or LUVOIR is going to be game changing," she said. "It's going to be amazing."

Victor Buso picked the right patch of sky for camera testing.
On Sept. 20, 2016, the Argentine amateur astronomer was trying out a new camera he'd affixed to his 16-inch (41 centimeters) telescope. He took some shots of the spiral galaxy NGC 613 — which lies about 80 million light-years from Earth, in the southern constellation Sculptor — and spotted something interesting: a brightening pinprick of light near the end of a spiral arm.
Astronomers at the Astrophysics Institute of La Plata, just outside Buenos Aires, quickly got wind of the find. They fielded an international team that began studying the light source with bigger and more powerful scopes, both on the ground and in space, less than a day later. [Supernova Photos: Great Images of Star Explosions]
The researchers determined that Buso had imaged the "shock breakout" phase of a supernova — the first burst of visible light from an exploding star — according to a new study.
Nobody had ever captured this elusive event before. In getting his random lucky shots, Buso had bucked odds of 1 in 10 million, or perhaps even 1 in 100 million, study team members said.
"It's like winning the cosmic lottery," said study co-author Alex Filippenko, an astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley who helped observe the newborn supernova using the Lick and Keck observatories in California and Hawaii, respectively.
"Buso's data are exceptional," Filippenko added in a statement from UC Berkeley. "This is an outstanding example of a partnership between amateur and professional astronomers."

The professionals tracked the evolution of the supernova, which is known as SN 2016gkg, for two months. They determined that the object is a Type IIb supernova — a once-massive star that exploded after collapsing rapidly under the force of its own immense gravity.
Modeling work performed by the study team suggests that the dead star was originally about 20 times more massive than our sun. But, over the years, it had a lot of mass siphoned away, likely by a companion star, and probably harbored about five solar masses when it exploded, researchers said.
A powerful pressure wave from that explosion heated up the dead star's surface gas, causing it to brighten and emit light — the "shock breakout" that Buso captured.

"Professional astronomers have long been searching for such an event," Filippenko said. "Observations of stars in the first moments they begin exploding provide information that cannot be directly obtained in any other way."
The study, which was led by Melina Bersten of the Astrophysics Institute of La Plata, was published online today (Feb. 21) in the journal Nature.
1962 UFO Crash at Nellis Air Force Base Outside of Las Vegas, NV
1962 UFO Crash at Nellis Air Force Base Outside of Las Vegas, NV
April 18, 1962 UFO Incident Facts & Figures
Date: April 18, 1962
Time:Between 8:15 and 8:19 PM Local Time, though the incident in its entirety lasted 32 minutes as the object, tracked by NORAD, crossed a total of ten states.
Location:The incident actually began on the east coast, first spotted in Oneida, New York, just outside of Syracuse. It crossed ten states, including Kansas, Colorado and Utah, before disappearing from Nellis Airforce Base radar at 10,000 Feet.
Response:The Air Defense Command was alerted after the object was tracked by NORAD. The object apparently landed at one point, confirmed by an Air Force Spokesman. During the 42 minutes it was on the ground, all power was lost from a nearby power station. Power was restored once it left, at which time it was pursued by jet interceptors summoned from Phoenix and Stead Field in Reno, NV.
Outcome:Jets pursued the object until it exploded over the Mesquite Range in Nevada "in a brilliant glare that was visible over five states."
Witnesses:Having crossed from the east to west coast, the object was seen by literally thousands of people.
It has been described as a red or blue fireball; a red-flaming sword across the sky; an object resembling a tadpole; a very bright, white light was a smoke trail behind it with twenty-to-thirty explosions.
Witnesses in Utah claimed it was no more than 500 feet above their truck, causing it to nearly stall at the time.
According to Captain Herman Gordon Shields, who was interrogated at Hill Air Force Base by Douglas M. Crouch, the chief of the criminal investigation sections:
"It had a long slender appearance comparable to a cigarette in size, that is, the diameter with respect to the length of the object. The fore part, or the lower part of the object was very bright, intense white such as a magnesium fire. The second half, the aft section, was a clearly distinguishable yellowish color. I would say the object was just about divided in half, the fore part being intensely white, the aft section having a more yellow color to it."
Air Force Intelligence Report - April 24, 1962: [1b]At 0319& on 19 April 1962 a brilliant mid-air Illumination appeared over Nephi, Utah, visible in Idaho, California, Arizona and Kansas. One violent explosion and 20-30 sharp explosions followed illumination.
AF pilot in area reported clearly defined white object falling toward ground after illumination.
Resident of Lynndyl, Utah, stated a bright white object passed over him traveling north-west at 3OO-5OO feet altitude, having bright white trail, turning to smoke trail after object passed.
Observers at Jericho, Utah, (39 ^5M, 112 11W) stated object passed east of Jericho in north-west direction.
Observer 3 miles south-west of Eureka, Utah reported object passed over in northwest direction, alternately emitting gasping sound, retarding forward movement, and surging ahead three or four times, before flame at tail of object turned from bright yellow to blue. Observer stated object arced over and estimated that object landed in vicinity of M6.
[2]At 06202 on 19 April 1962 Captain Herman O. Shields, Troop Carrier Squadron, a reserve AF pilot and civilian Attorney at Law was interviewed at Bill AF3, with a tape recording being made of the interview. The following information and answers received to questions...
15a(l) Shape - A long cylinderical shape like a cigarette.
15a(2) Sisse - At the distance object appeared to be the size of a cigarette.
15a(3) Color - The forward or lower part of object was a bright intense white. the after half was a clearly distinguishable yellow color.
Conclusion:Apparently only one newspaper initially covered the incident, The Las Vegas Sun.
Dr. Robert Kadesch, an associate professor of physics at the University of Utah, dismissed it as probably being a "Bolide," an extremely bright meteor.
The radar sighting at Nellis Air Force Base initially reported the object as "unidentified," but later changed it to "Insufficient Data For Scientific Analysis."

The Crop Circle Mystery: A Closer Look
The Crop Circle Mystery: A Closer Look
THE PHENOMENON OF crop circles is one that we regard as being a relatively recent mystery, but strange patterns have actually been appearing in fields for over three hundred years. Sometimes occurring ins and, ice or even snow, five thousand of these beautiful geometric shapes have manifested themselves in over forty countries across the globe. However, Man is still no closer realising their significance. Some are undoubtedly hoaxes but what do the steersman? Are they messages from space, Mother Earth, or perhaps another dimension?
Over the years,
those who live in the country side, particularly those who live along Ley lines and channels of natural energy, have come to regard the circles as part of rural life and a few witnesses have actually seen them made. They say an invisible line snakes its way at high speed through a field, pushing the stalks of crops aside. When it reaches a certain point it begins to spin round, pushing the crop down radially, as would the hands on a clock.When it has turned the full 360 degrees the force just vanishes, leaving the crop perfectly matted on the field floor.
No stalks spring up,and no stalks are crushed, they are all carefully and permanently bowed.The question as to who or what actually determines that the patterns should be made is still up for debate. Tales of UFOs and delights above fields the night before new formations appear are common. Similarly,there are a substantial proportion of hoax circles, but these are often easily discernible as they have trampled, crushed crops rather than gently bent stalks. Many people are convinced freak weather conditions such as mini, localised whirlwinds cause the patterns.
There is also a continuing study into the scientific qualities of cropcircles ,where investigators hope a rational, serious approach will reveal the truth.Perhaps the most popular explanation for the appearance of cropcircles is connected with earth forces. The great majority of good,reputable patterns in England appear in Wiltshire, around historic areas of high natural energy. They also often occur close to ancient forts, burial mounds, standing stones and fertility symbols therefore suggesting an affiliation with Britain’s traditional heritage.Indeed, many people are convinced the ancient forces of Mother Earth have a hand in their creation.One aspect of cropcircles’ character that is not questionable is the effect they have on electronic equipment. Tape recorders are known to speed up once inside a circle and then slow down again outside.
State-of-the-art
video equipment malfunctions without good cause, and even ordinary photographic cameras have produced severely distorted images. A rather ironic reaction circles have is on farm machinery. Not only are good crops flattened during a circle’s production,but many farmers have witnessedtheir harvesting equipment refusing to work anywhere near the circles.The circles have striking effects on humans. Some experts suggest that stepping inside certain patterns can cause extreme emotion change.
Some people feel an improved physical well-being and vitality in certain circles, whilst in others feelings of nausea, migraine, fatigue and light-headedness can be brought about. Just by sitting inside stone circles people with a longstanding medical conditions are said to have been significantly improved or even cured;the effect of a crop circle’s power on animals is equally impressive. Horses and cats in particular become agitated near patterns, and often refuse to enter them.
Flocks of birds have been seen flying straight towards a crop formation, only to drastically steer around them at the last minute, whilst some dogsfeel compelled to bound right into the centre of some circles, only to drop down asleep when they reach it.It seems a shame that some people do create hoax cropcircles. Of all unexplained phenomena, they are one of the most deserving of scientific study.
Unlike the fleeting images of monsters, aliens and ghosts, cropcircles are their own record of some unknown power. Whatever causes these formations undoubtedly leaves a trace of its inexplicable force. Country folk are well aware that, for centuries, something with which they have grown to live has been going on in their fields, but it is still something they do not quite understand.....
Manhattan reported more UFO sightings than any other borough
Manhattan reported more UFO sightings than any other borough
ByDean Balsamini
Houston Street, we have a problem.
Manhattan has gone from Studio 54 to Area 51, leading the five boroughs in sightings of unidentified flying objects over the last two years, data from the National UFO Reporting Center reveals.
Otherworldly tourists have included travelers in a “round orange orb,” a crew in a “cigar-shaped” craft and even “an unknown creature” that rudely “teleported” into one New Yorker’s back yard, according to reports made to the Washington-based group.
One Manhattan true believer claimed a close encounter — just by looking outside the gym window.
“It was rotating like a drill as it was also moving off axis and in a line towards the east,” the person explained. “As it rotated, you would be able to see four lights that would only be on one side and seen after it fully rotated. It has to be hundreds of feet long. Then after it appeared, four other smaller craft appeared that were to me saucer or spherical that blipped in and out.”
In all, there have been 27 spacey sightings in Manhattan since 2016, with Brooklynites close behind, reporting 24 strange objects — from a “very bright, round-shaped light in the sky” to a “fireball” of lights.
Queens denizens described 20 unexplained episodes, with a particularly impressive arrival last June.
“Group of about 7 UFOs, with a leader to the side, and a cluster to its north,” one witness reported.
Just eight mysterious incidents originated out of the Bronx, while Staten Island residents got interstellar a paltry six times.
“Surprised a UFO that was hovering silently above me, then it shot away,” one Staten Islander shrugged last January.
The reports include time and general place of occurrence, but can be painfully short of detail. Last May 3, someone in Brooklyn simply reported, “UFO.”
The center’s director is confident that the truth is out there.
“Do I believe in UFOs? I absolutely believe . . . I believe what the data says,” Peter Davenport insisted. “Read the cases and you come to the realization that these objects we’ve been calling UFOs for 70 years are being seen across the country and around the world on a daily basis.”
The most common claim the center receives is “lights in the sky that they can’t identify.” Davenport noted that, since May 2012, “we started seeing a type of report of clusters of red, orange, amber, yellow or gold lights.”
“Good photos, reliable photos” of UFOs are “scarce” because people have just seconds to capture “objects capable of moving at tremendous speeds,” he explained.
The group says it has catalogued more than 128,000 mysterious sightings worldwide since 1974, with most in the United States — 13,033 — originating in California. New York has collected just 4,500 in that time.
“There’s this sense that this is New York . . . there can’t be a UFO,” Davenport said. “Or they just don’t want to get involved.”
The space rock, named Asteroid 2017 DR109, is expected to hurtle past the planet at a hair-raisingly close distance on Saturday February 24, NASA has warned.
At around 5.18am on Saturday, DR109 will come within 0.007AU of Earth, the distance between the US and China 85 times over.
Flying at speeds of 16,553mph, the asteroid will shoot by the planet at a minimum distance of more than one million km away.
However, the asteroid only measures a tiny 11 metres in diameter, meaning its impact on Earth would be negligible.
GETTY
CLOSE SHAVE: Asteroid 2017 DR109 is set to brush past Earth on Saturday February 24
NASA does not consider 2017 DR109 to be a Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) – a space object that makes an exceptionally close approach to Earth.
PHAs are larger than 100 metres in diameter and come within 0.05 AU – approximately 19.5 lunar distances – to Earth, according to NASA’s classification.
NASA monitors all asteroids that come within close range of planet under its Near Earth Object programme.
Using Sentry – a highly automated collision monitoring system – NASA keeps a handle on celestial objects threatening to smash into Earth within the next 100 years.
Ancient civilisation used sound energy to 'LEVITATE and contact aliens' – shock claim
Ancient civilisation used sound energy to 'LEVITATE and contact aliens' – shock claim
ARCHAEOLOGICAL findings suggest previous civilisations used circular structures as energy-generating devices to create man-made portals in time, according to boffins online.
The research – which extended over a two-year period – suggested that human beings from thousands of years ago produced natural sound harmonic frequencies produced from the surface of the Earth.
In the clip, the narrator explains that the Sumerian civilisation may have inhabited parts of southern Africa thousands of years ago.
The Sumers are one of the earliest known civilisations known to walk the Earth.
They are said to date back to 3,000BC.
UFO MANIA - THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
ALIEN CONTACT: Could previous civilisations spoken with extraterrestrial beings
The technology they apparently used is said to be similar to the way we use laser technology today.
Some of the frequencies recorded are believed to reach more than 380 gigahertz – much greater than any levels used today.
The discovery has left many confused as to what this previous society could possibly have done with the energy they created and whether they could have possibly known more about our planet than we do today.
The video was uploaded to YouTube channel UFOmania yesterday, and has already racked up more than 5000 hits.
And viewers suggested that previous societies have been in contact with extraterrestrial life.
One comment read: “Sound is one of the most abundant forms of free energy on the planet.
“It is the primordial source of all things and is the common denominator of all creation.
“With that being said, if an extraterrestrial race wanted to harvest energy from the planet, it could create such energy with sound.
“Sound was used as energy to levitate objects in order to create the monuments that opened vortices which allowed spacecraft to come and go."
And another added: “I always thought that many ancient rock carvings show a spiral, which could be some kind of sound wave.
“This is something they can only draw and couldn't put into words.
“Many petroglyphs around the world show a spiral of some kind I think it's some kind of sound energy that we cannot understand at this point in time.”
