Neanderthal Art Dated to 65,000-years-ago in Spain
Neanderthal Art Dated to 65,000-years-ago in Spain
New findings from cave sites in Spain suggest that Neanderthals had nothing to envy in respect to their cognitive skills when contrasted against their close cousins, fully modern humans. It is no longer easy to argue that our direct ancestors had the edge on Neanderthals when it came to displays of mental prowess with the confirmation of extremely ancient Neanderthal cave art.
Archaeological research across Europe has convincingly established that the ancestors of modern Europeans reached the continent around 45,000 years ago, this date not only matched fossils and tools found but also coincided with the earliest examples of cave art. Despite definitive evidence of a lengthy presence for Neanderthals across Europe cave art seemed to appear only after modern humans arrived.
In newly released studies three cave sites, La Pasiega in north-eastern Spain, Maltravieso in western Spain and Ardales in southern Spain, have produced new evidence which pushes back the date for complex art to at least 65,000 years ago. These three sites offer a number of paintings in red or black, incorporating animals, dots and geometric patterns alongside hand stencils, hand prints and engraved iconography.
“Our dating results show that [some of] the cave art at these three sites in Spain is much older than previously thought,” says team member Alistair Pike from the University of Southampton. “With an age in excess of 64,000 years it predates the earliest traces of modern humans in Europe by more than 20,000 years.
The logical conclusion is that Neanderthals are the most likely candidates for having painted the images, and although it remains possible that another sub-species was responsible for the work, such as archaic Homo sapiens, there is no clear evidence for their presence in Europe at the time.
Dirk Hoffmann, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology was able to date the art only due to the fact that the radioactive element uranium dissolves in water, but the element thorium doesn’t. When water soaks through soils into a cave uranium is carried with it and then gets trapped in mineral deposits, it then radioactively decays at a predictable rate becoming thorium. Measuring the relative amounts of uranium and thorium in minerals can reveal their ages and provide a minimum date for any paintings beneath these deposits.
A drawing of the art shows animals and other symbols around the ladder shape. It’s stiil unclear if they date to the same time or were painted later.
The three Spanish caves with paintings were found to have mineral crusts overlying the images that were at least 64,800 years old, although this is the minimum date for the art we must consider that it could be considerably older. This is without a doubt the oldest directly dates art in Europe and close in age to the oldest examples on the planet.
Results of a second study were announced to the media at the same time, researchers had determined the age of an archaeological cache at Cueva de los Aviones, a coastal cave in southeastern Spain. Among the artefacts examined were perforated sea shells, red and yellow compounds for painting along with shell containers with mixed pigments. The same Uranium-Thorium dating method was applied and revealed an incredibly early date, 115,000 years before present day. Consider that the very oldest signs of such artefacts in Africa are no older than 92,000 years in age, perhaps considerably younger.
“One wrong move, and you might remove some pigments from the wall that were there for thousands and thousands of years,” says Hoffmann, the lead author of both studies. “There’s this overwhelming feeling you get when you first get in.”
With the revelation that both Neanderthals and modern humans had an equal ability to produce rock art, as well as other discoveries showing near equality in tool use, ingenuity, ritual behaviour and genes associated with speech, some researchers are calling into question whether Neanderthals were truly a distinct species. There has long been a divide over whether Neanderthals might not properly be considered a sub-species of Homo sapiens and this new evidence supports the argument that they were an isolated subgroup of our own species. We certainly seemed to have interbred successfully with them which traditionally confirms membership of a single species.
A worker takes measurements of the stone rings inside Bruniquel Cave.
The new studies build on evidence for complex ritual artistic creations among Neanderthals previously highlighted by the discovery of a 176,000-year-old circle created from broken stalagmites deep within the Bruniquel Cave, located in France. Most scientists had already accepted that the Bruniquel Cave stone circles had been composed by local Neanderthal populations.
“According to our new data Neanderthals and modern humans shared symbolic thinking and must have been cognitively indistinguishable”, said Joao Zilhao of the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies in Barcelona, and who was involved in both studies. “On our search for the origins of language and advanced human cognition we must therefore look much farther back in time, more than half a million years ago, to the common ancestor of Neanderthals and modern humans.”
When a camera captures a star’s movement across the sky, it’s called a star trail. An astrophotographer explains how he does it.

Star trails are the continuous paths created by stars, produced during long-exposure photographs, as shown on this page. In other words, the camera doesn’t track along with the stars’ apparent motion as night passes. Instead, the camera stays fixed, while, as the hours pass, the stars move. The resulting photos show the nightly movement of stars on the sky’s dome.
Star trails reflect Earth’s rotation, or spin, on its axis. The Earth rotates full circle relative to the backdrop stars in a period of about 23 hours and 56 minutes. So, as seen from Earth, all the stars go full circle and return to the same place in sky after this period of time, which astronomers call a sidereal (stellar) day.
View larger. | Star trails (plus meteor) photo taken by Guy Livesay. Thank you, Guy! If you aim your camera northward in a long-exposure photo, the star trails will be seen to track around the north celestial pole. In fact, the stars move counter-clockwise around the sky’s north pole in the course of every night.

What this means is that, if you’re standing out under the stars, you see them move across the sky as night passes. Stars rise in the east, arc across the sky and set in the west, just as the sun does.
Stars near the celestial poles produce the smallest circles while those near the celestial equator produce the largest. The stars – like the sun during the daytime – move from east to west across the sky each and every night. Each and every star moves 15 degrees westward in one hour.
Star trails are really arcs, or partial circles, whose ever-circling motions forever tabulate the great passage of time.
Sometimes you can get cool non-star effects into your shot, as Michael A. Rosinski did in this photo.
Ken Christison captured these glorious star trails around Polaris, the North Star. He wrote, “For the most common and often the most spectacular star trails, you want to locate Polaris and compose the image so it is centered horizontally and hopefully you can have a bit of foreground for reference.”
EarthSky Facebook friend Ken Christison has some wonderful photos of star trails. He said the equipment needed for making startrails is pretty simple:
First, a camera that allows manual settings so you can set your f/stop and shutter speeds, as well as ISO.
Next, a wide angle lens, the wider the better.
A good steady tripod is a must.
Some cameras will have a built in intervalometer which can be set to shoot the desirable number of frames. In some cases the intervalometer has a bit of lag between shots, which is the reason I use a separate, remote attached to the camera that holds the shutter down and when the camera is set in continuous shooting mode will shoot 100 frames in succession with very little gap.
The remote I use is a simple one that can be found on eBay and uses a couple AAA batteries that last quite a while. I just use the remote controller attached to the 10 pin connector. There is no need to use the wireless receiver in this case.
I use a shutter speed of 30 seconds, ISO of 400 to 800, and with my 14-24mm lens at 14mm, shoot it wide open at f/2.8.
Next, he said, you’re ready to capture your star trail:
Make sure the camera is level, and after focusing on a star, make sure the autofocus is turned off. Then, using the settings mentioned above, click the shutter and stay around long enough to know that the shutter is actually actuating. I normally go back in the house, set the timer on our kitchen stove for 45 minutes, and do other things while the camera does its work.
When the timer sounds, go back out and reset the remote by turning it off, waiting for the shutter to close, then reset quickly.
Finally, you’ll want to process your photo. Ken said:
This is one of the most important elements in making star trail images. The program I use is free, works well and is simple to use: http://www.startrails.de/html/software.html.

You can also create a star trail of sorts with our local star, the sun. EarthSky Facebook friend Matthew Chin in Hong Kong created this sun trail on October 5, 2013. Thank you, Matthew!
Bottom line: Star trails are the continuous paths created by stars, produced during long time exposure photographs, as shown in the photos on this page.

436
The number of reported UFO sightings this year, according to the National UFO Reporting Center
Drew Millard
Yesterday, my favorite site on the internet, the National UFO Reporting Center, did my favorite thing: it updated its database of self-reported UFO sightings, and the 76 new entries it has added now make for a total of 436 sightings in 2018. The database itself is a fairly bare-bones affair, consisting mostly of anonymous accounts of weird stuff, many of which even the NUFORC thinks are people messing with them. But sometimes, the NUFORC posts something genuinely baffling, such as this video taken by a man in Pasadena featuring small white objects in the sky that don’t really look like planes or birds or anything. Could the man have just been taking a video of floating balloons or something like that? Yeah, probably, but it’s way more fun to just let the strangeness of it all — including the fact witness’s report notes that he took a break from UFO watching to play Pokémon Go — wash over you.
Relatedly, the theoretical physicist and author Michio Kaku — aka one of the pioneers of string theory — has been making the rounds plugging his new book The Future of Humanity, and recently took to Reddit to do an AmA in which he was asked to speculate what might happen if we ever made contact with aliens. In his answer, he wrote that he wouldn’t be surprised if we made “contact” of some sort with an extraterrestrial civilization “within this century.” Kaku’s answer, however, came with the caveats that A) even if we received a radio message from an alien civilization, it takes a really long time for radio waves to travel vast distances in space so if we responded it might take a while for our message and get back to them, and B) any alien civilization capable of “land[ing] on the White House lawn and announc[ing] their existence” probably wouldn’t bother doing so, because in order to travel to Earth they would need to be so much more technologically advanced than we were that they might not even recognize us as intelligent life.
I, personally, find Kaku’s comments fairly comforting — even if one of the NUFORC’s 436 UFO sightings were somehow legit, it’s nice to know that the aliens think we’re too dumb to destroy.
Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku believes that humans will make contact with alien civilization this century, but expects they will be largely peaceful – unlike robots, which pose a greater threat to humanity.
Kaku made the revelations during a Reddit AMA (Ask me Anything), where intrigued users asked questions relating to artificial intelligence and extraterrestrial life. “Let me stick my neck out. I personally feel is that within this century, we will make contact with an alien civilization, by listening in on their radio communications,” Kaku stated, adding that he expects they will see us like we see forest animals.
“And what are their intentions. Are they expansive and aggressive, or peaceful. Another possibility is that they land on the White House lawn and announce their existence. But I think that is unlikely, since we would be like forest animals to them, i.e. not worth communicating with.”
Kaku doubled down on this theory in another response, musing that humans will probably be seen as insignificant to alien society. At the core of their peaceful approach is knowledge, according to Kaku, who believes the extraterrestrials have had thousands of years to resolve sectarian, fundamentalist, nationalist questions.
The physicist admitted, however, that this neutral stance could shift if “we get in the way.” “They still might be dangerous if they simply don’t care about us and we get in the way. In War of the Worlds, the aliens did not hate us. We were simply in the way.”
“But for the most part, I think they will be peaceful, but view us like we view forest animals,” he concluded.
In contrast, Kaku suggested that robots will need chips implanted in their brains to control any “murderous thoughts.”Envisaging their future development, the scientist predicts that their intelligence level will go from that of a bug to a level on par with that of a monkey. “By that point they might become dangerous and even replace humans, near the end of the century. So I think we should put a chip in their brain to shut them off if they have murderous thoughts.”
Ultimately, humans may have to accept their fate and merge with their robot overlords, according to Kaku. “But what happens centuries from now, when robots evade even our most sophisticated fail-safe system?? At that point, I think we should merge with them."
“This may sound strange to some people, but remember that it is the people of the far future (not us) who will decide how far they want to modify themselves to deal with super smart robots.”
The dangers of AI and the grim possibility of a future with ‘killer robots’ have been addressed by several industry experts, including Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking. Musk was among more than a hundred tech leaders to call on the United Nations to ban the use of lethal autonomous weapons, or ‘killer robots, last year. The SpaceX and Tesla CEO believes AI is a “fundamental threat to human civilization.”
World-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking holds similar fears about the future of AI, warning that one day robots could entirely edge out human beings and become a new life form.
Astronomers assumed supermassive black holes and their host galaxies evolve together and affect each other. They call it “co-evolution.” But it’s not happening in the distant galaxy WISE1029.
Artist’s concept of gas outflow (in green) driven by a central supermassive black hole not affecting the star formation of its host galaxy. Maybe it happens when the gas is flowing especially perpendicularly to the galaxy’s flat disk.

In recent decades, astronomers have learned that almost all massive galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their hearts. More recent findings show that the masses of these black holes match that of their host galaxies; that is, the more massive the galaxy, the more massive the black hole. And so it’s been natural for astronomers to assume that supermassive black holes and their host galaxies have evolved together and affect each other. That’s why astronomers are so puzzled by new results from the ALMA telescope in Chile, suggesting no relationship between a distant galaxy and its supermassive black hole.
Yoshiki Toba of the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics in Taiwan led this new research. The team used the ALMA radio telescope, because it’s sensitive to millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths and thus good at studying distant gas clouds – for example, those that form stars and possibly planets within our own local Milky Way galaxy. Galaxies evolve in large part by forming stars, and ALMA can also be aimed toward distant galaxies, to study star-forming gas in their disks. Plus, it can peer at the gas flowing outward from the vicinity of a distant galaxy’s central supermassive black hole.
Toba and his colleagues aimed the telescope toward an active galaxy known as WISE1029+0501. This galaxy is known to have a strong ionized gas outflow, presumably from the supermassive black hole at its center. The team also clearly detected carbon monoxide (CO) gas associated with that distant galaxy’s flat disk. Such gas is known to be related to star formation. Yet, these astronomers found, the CO gas in the flat part of the galaxy is not affected by the strong ionized gas outflow launched by the supermassive black hole from the galaxy’s center. Yoshiki commented in a February 20, 2018,statement from ALMA:
… it has made the co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes more puzzling.
And he added:
… understanding such co-evolution is crucial for astronomy. By collecting statistical data of this kind of galaxies and continuing in more follow-up observations using ALMA, we hope to reveal the truth.
Yoshiki’s research was published in late 2017 in the peer-reviewedAstrophysical Journal.
The team has focused on a particular type of objects called Dust-Obscured Galaxy (DOG) that has a prominent feature: despite being very faint in visible light, it is very bright in the infrared. This image shows the DOG that the team studied, WISE1029. The left and right panels show an optical image from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and a mid-infrared image from WISE, respectively.

Bottom line:Astronomers thought that supermassive black holes and their host galaxies evolved together, but maybe – in at least some cases – they don’t.
You can’t survive a passage into a black hole … or can you? A UC Berkeley mathematician says you could enter certain types of black holes, but your past would be obliterated and you’d have an infinite number of possible futures.
A reasonably realistic simulation of falling into a black hole shows how space and time are distorted, and how light is blue shifted as you approach the inner or Cauchy horizon, where most physicists think you would be annihilated. However, a UC Berkeley mathematician argues that you could, in fact, survive passage through this horizon.
In the real world, your past uniquely determines your future. If a physicist knows how the universe starts out, she can calculate its future for all time and all space.
But a UC Berkeley mathematician has found some types of black holes in which this law breaks down. If someone were to venture into one of these relatively benign black holes, they could survive, but their past would be obliterated and they could have an infinite number of possible futures.
Such claims have been made in the past, and physicists have invoked strong cosmic censorship to explain it away. That is, something catastrophic – typically a horrible death – would prevent observers from actually entering a region of spacetime where their future was not uniquely determined. This principle, first proposed 40 years ago by physicist Roger Penrose, keeps sacrosanct an idea – determinism [cause and effect] – key to any physical theory.
That is, given the past and present, the physical laws of the universe do not allow more than one possible future.
But, says UC Berkeley postdoctoral fellow Peter Hintz, mathematical calculations show that for some specific types of black holes in a universe like ours, which is expanding at an accelerating rate, it is possible to survive the passage from a deterministic world into a non-deterministic black hole.
What life would be like in a space where the future was unpredictable is unclear. But the finding does not mean that Einstein’s equations of general relativity, which so far perfectly describe the evolution of the cosmos, are wrong, said Hintz. He said:
No physicist is going to travel into a black hole and measure it. This is a math question. But from that point of view, this makes Einstein’s equations mathematically more interesting. This is a question one can really only study mathematically, but it has physical, almost philosophical implications, which makes it very cool.
Hintz and his colleagues published a paper describing these unusual black holes in January 2018 in the journal Physical Review Letters.
Beyond the Event Horizon
Black holes are bizarre objects that get their name from the fact that nothing can escape their gravity, not even light. If you venture too close and cross the so-called event horizon, you’ll never escape.
For small black holes, you’d never survive such a close approach anyway. The tidal forces close to the event horizon are enough to spaghettify anything: that is, stretch it until it’s a string of atoms.
Still image taken from an animation by Andrew Hamilton, based on supercomputer simulation by John Hawley.
But for large black holes, like the supermassive objects at the cores of galaxies like the Milky Way, which weigh tens of millions if not billions of times the mass of a star, crossing the event horizon would be, well, uneventful.
Because it should be possible to survive the transition from our world to the black hole world, physicists and mathematicians have long wondered what that world would look like, and have turned to Einstein’s equations of general relativity to predict the world inside a black hole. These equations work well until an observer reaches the center, or singularity, where in theoretical calculations the curvature of spacetime becomes infinite.
Even before reaching the center, however, a black hole explorer – who would never be able to communicate what she found to the outside world – could encounter some weird and deadly milestones. Hintz studies a specific type of black hole – a standard, non-rotating black hole with an electrical charge – and such an object has a so-called Cauchy horizon within the event horizon.
The Cauchy horizon is the spot where determinism breaks down, where the past no longer determines the future. Physicists, including Penrose, have argued that no observer could ever pass through the Cauchy horizon point because they would be annihilated.
As the argument goes, as an observer approaches the horizon, time slows down, since clocks tick slower in a strong gravitational field. As light, gravitational waves and anything else encountering the black hole fall inevitably toward the Cauchy horizon, an observer also falling inward would eventually see all this energy barreling in at the same time. In effect, all the energy the black hole sees over the lifetime of the universe hits the Cauchy horizon at the same time, blasting into oblivion any observer who gets that far.
You Can’t See Forever in an Expanding Universe
Hintz realized, however, that this may not apply in an expanding universe that is accelerating, such as our own. Because spacetime is being increasingly pulled apart, much of the distant universe will not affect the black hole at all, since that energy can’t travel faster than the speed of light.

An observer traveling across the event horizon will eventually encounter the Cauchy horizon, the boundary of the region of spacetime that can be predicted from the initial data. Hintz and his colleagues found that a region of spacetime, denoted by a question mark, cannot be predicted from the initial data in a universe with accelerating expansion, like our own. This violates the principle of strong cosmic censorship.
Image via APS/Alan Stonebraker.
In fact, the energy available to fall into the black hole is only that contained within the observable horizon: the volume of the universe that the black hole can expect to see over the course of its existence. For us, for example, the observable horizon is bigger than the 13.8 billion light-years we can see into the past, because it includes everything that we will see forever into the future. The accelerating expansion of the universe will prevent us from seeing beyond a horizon of about 46.5 billion light-years.
In that scenario, the expansion of the universe counteracts the amplification caused by time dilation inside the black hole, and for certain situations, cancels it entirely. In those cases – specifically, smooth non-rotating black holes with a large electrical charge, so-called Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter black holes – an observer could survive passing through the Cauchy horizon and into a non-deterministic world. Hintz said:
There are some exact solutions of Einstein’s equations that are perfectly smooth, with no kinks, no tidal forces going to infinity, where everything is perfectly well behaved up to this Cauchy horizon and beyond.
Hintz noted that the passage through the horizon would be painful but brief.
After that, all bets are off; in some cases, such as a Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter black hole, one can avoid the central singularity altogether and live forever in a universe unknown.
Admittedly, he said, charged black holes are unlikely to exist, since they’d attract oppositely charged matter until they became neutral. However, the mathematical solutions for charged black holes are used as proxies for what would happen inside rotating black holes, which are probably the norm. Hintz argues that smooth, rotating black holes, called Kerr-Newman-de Sitter black holes, would behave the same way. Hintz said:
That is upsetting, the idea that you could set out with an electrically charged star that undergoes collapse to a black hole, and then Alice travels inside this black hole and if the black hole parameters are sufficiently extremal, it could be that she can just cross the Cauchy horizon, survives that and reaches a region of the universe where knowing the complete initial state of the star, she will not be able to say what is going to happen. It is no longer uniquely determined by full knowledge of the initial conditions. That is why it’s very troublesome.
Hintz’s paper has already sparked other papers, one of which purports to show that most well-behaved black holes will not violate determinism. But Hintz insists that one instance of violation is one too many. He said:
People had been complacent for some 20 years, since the mid ‘90s, that strong cosmological censorship is always verified. We challenge that point of view.
Bottom line: A UC Berkeley mathematician suggests that there are some types of black holes in which the law of determinism breaks down.

Today's Top Space Headline: "Communicating With Aliens" --Clues from Earth's 7,000 Languages (WATCH Video)
“We can’t use ourselves as a starting point,” said Sheri Wells-Jensen, an associate professor of linguists at Bowling Green State University. “We are an endpoint at looking at things. We are the product of evolution. We’re like pond scum.”
Studying alien languages might seem like a silly, science fiction fantasy reports today's Inverse. But at the rate we’ve discovered more habitable Earth-like worlds, we are bound to encounter an alien species pretty soon. Wells-Jensen is one of a tiny group of people who has actively thought about how an alien species will communicate with humans. The only thing she knows for sure is that there’s no way to know how they’ll communicate.
“It’s profoundly humancentric to think they’ll talk like us and look like us,” Wells-Jensen told Inverse. The fact that most sci-fi revolves around aliens who speak through voice boxes like us, are bipedal, and even have vaguely anthropomorphic faces limits our imagination as to how extraterrestrial beings will speak when they get here. In reality, more likely than not, their bodies won’t operate or look a single thing like ours. And that means their communication mechanism will be wildly different from ours.
“We’re only beginning to understand that the way we think and communicate and what we build is determined by the way our bodies are shaped and our sensory apparatus,” Wells-Jensen said. For example, if we didn’t perceive sound waves, then our use of sound as a communication device would not exist. Consider the way deaf people communicate so expressively with their hands and faces, and are unable to lasso their voices into the pitch and tone the way hearing humans do when they talk.
Before we can begin to hypothesize about any extraterrestrial language, we must examine our basis for understanding what language is. We should examine what we know—and, even more important, what we presume—about language.One approach linguistics has taken is to look deeply into the structure of a single language with the goal of capturing its essence in a series of descriptive principles; this approach assumes that each Earth language has within it a "universal" set of rules that characterize all potential human languages.
Another approach would be to study the 7,000 or so known Earth languages to identify what all of them have in common and distill the set of descriptive principles from there. Unfortunately, both approaches are quite human-centric, and even with a dataset of 7,000 languages to work with, we still have effectively only one data point. Still, defining this single data point is useful because we can't think outside the box until we have identified the box.
With this in mind, what we could do is examine those 7,000 languages to establish what is rare among them or what they all lack: That is, what presuppositions do they all make? What things are unsaid, or even unsayable, because these things are too obvious, too obscure, or somehow foreign to human cognition? We cannot know which of our assumptions about language might be natural outgrowths of intelligence and therefore truly universal, and which result from specifically human factors; the best we can do at this point is lay out the possibilities.
In the Denis Villeneuve space-opera Arrival, 12 pods from outer space land at various locations on Earth, each operated by a strange species of alien. The American government enlists a linguist — Louise Banks, played by Amy Adams — to try to figure out what these extraterrestrials want, but it’s not going to be easy.
The first, and most significant, hurdle is language. How is someone who’s learned only Earth-based languages supposed to communicate with a group of beings that gurgle out croaks and write in what look like inky floating coffee stains?
Anatomy and physiology do more than dictate how we speak; it’s our way of understanding the world, which is vital to how early humans developed the language, and how we comprehend the world around us. “What if you had a race of aliens that couldn’t see? In what ways would that change the way they built their civilization and how they understand their world?” Wells-Jensen proposed. “We have some data to suggest that the way we are physically built might influence the way our language is structured. It’s because we walk erect, our top appendages are free, and we have to use our hands to do things.”
Language, after all, is a verbal reflection of how we understand our world through our bodies: We crawl, we stagger, we cry, we laugh. We look to see the stars, taste our morning coffee, smell the garbage on the streets, rub our hands in nervousness. Which makes the heptopods that Louise Banks deals with in Arrival an especially hard one to understand, given that they experience the world with seven fingers, no obvious eyes or ears, and a language based purely on sound reverberations.
There’s also the fact that even if we did come to a point where we could speak the same language as an extraterrestrial species, we wouldn’t have the language to express certain concepts. “You see this with those lists of things in English that we don’t have a word for,” Wells-Jensen points out. And it could happen the other way around too — extraterrestrials might have phrases for concepts that they don’t have words for, which means we’ll have a rough time getting their worldview as well.

Alien Invasion: What Would Aliens REALLY Want With The Earth?
Alien Invasion: What Would Aliens REALLY Want With The Earth?
Let’s put aside the questions as to whether or not we’ve been visited by aliens. Let’s ask a better question: Why would aliens visit us at all? Is there anything about Earth that makes us prone to an alien invasion?
An Alien Invasion has Occurred, But For What Reason?
While there’s plenty of talk of human-alien hybridization programs & plans to take over our government and make us slaves, do these ideas make any sense? I mean, if a far advanced alien race came here with the intent of making us slaves, they wouldn’t need to infiltrate our government to do so. They’d just… do it. They would just do it because they’re so advanced relative to us. So let’s explore the possibilities…
The Most Unlikely Scenarios for an Alien Invasion
The first 2 scenarios really have good reasons why they’re unlikely. While they’re popular with hardcore alien enthusiasts, many of which believe these things are happening now or have in the past, a step back to reality doesn’t support these ideas. The likely scenarios are much more insidious and dire for humans in the event of a true alien invasion.
#1 Gold Mining
Gold is a very rare metal. For thousands of years, humans have mined it. We work for it. We kill for it. Aliens want gold too.
The idea is a cornerstone for Ancient Alien theorists. They believe that aliens came to the earth in ancient times to mine gold. In their desire for gold, they genetically modified ancient apes to make them more intelligent. The theory states that modern-day humans, us, are those genetically modified apes. Aliens designed us to have love and desire for gold so that we would mine it for them by our own ‘choice’.
Truth be told, there isn’t much evidence in support of this theory. Everyone who reads this blog knows my stance on the Ancient Alien religion. It’s undeniable that humans have a love and obsession with gold. We also have a love and obsession with lots of pretty stones and shiny metals that aren’t gold.
The Reality – Gold isn’t THAT Rare
While gold is a rare metal by certain standards, there’s no reason to think Earth has more gold than other rocky planets. Gold can only be created during a supernova and any planets forming in the resulting cloud of heavy elements will have some gold on them. So does it really make sense that aliens would travel here specifically for gold? Probably not. The fact of the matter is that from the perspective of an interstellar species, gold isn’t that rare or hard to find.
Alien technology would be so great, they wouldn’t need human ‘slaves’ to mine gold for them. They’d have machines that can do it much faster. Additionally, there’s no reason why they would choose an inhabited planet to mine when there are so many uninhabited ones out there. If they did choose to mine an inhabited planet such as the Earth, they’d probably wipe out all life first so that they wouldn’t have to deal with all the ankle biting from the pesky humans.
#2 Hybridization for Their Dying Species
Another popular theory by alien-believers is that aliens are running a hybridization program. The theory postulates aliens are a dying species, abducting humans, and taking DNA to merge with their own in order to strengthen their own biology. Many people believe it’s already happening.
The Arguments for an Alien Hybridization Program
The proponents of the theory point to cases of alien abduction & cattle mutilations as evidence. Sightings of cryptids, such as the Chupacabra, are cited as examples of alien hybridization having gone wrong.
Additionally, many female abductees describe being artificially inseminated and forced to carry fetuses only to be abducted later and having it removed. Male abductees frequently describe having semen extracted from them by their alien abductors. Some folks claim to have had sexual encounters with extraterrestrials.
The Reality – You Don’t Need Much DNA for Hybridization
By far, the weakest part of the entire theory is that a little DNA goes a long way. A single human carries enough DNA information to hybridize an entire generation of extraterrestrials. Aside from the fact that many abduction cases can be dismissed as instances of sleep paralysis, continued abductions for 50+ years would be unnecessary.
It’s also worth noting that a species capable of interstellar travel would have learned how to genetically modify themselves without the need for samples from a relatively primordial species such as ourselves.
The Most Likely Scenarios for an Alien Invasion
This set of scenarios for an alien invasion take into account what science knows about intelligent life and how it behaves. Of course, we only have ourselves to look at, but you work with what you’ve got right? These scenarios which come from real scientists are much more disturbing than some of the fantasy stories tossed around by the ancient alien and conspiracy crowds.
#1 Their Own Earth-like Planet was Destroyed
What if aliens weren’t very different from us? What if they came from a planet just like ours in a neighboring solar system? Maybe their planet died or became uninhabitable, and the entire species took the skies looking for a new place to call home.
As a skeptic, this scenario for an alien invasion is mind blowing because it could actually happen. No planet lives forever. Our own Earth has gone through several mass extinction events and there’s no reason to think other planets would be any different.
We’d likely be powerless to stop it, and if our own history of exploration is any indication, it wouldn’t turn out very well for us humans. Think about what happened to the Native Americans when Europeans discovered the New World…
#2 Natural Resources that Support Carbon-Based Life
If there’s one thing more rare in the universe than gold and diamonds, it’s life. At least, life as we know it – carbon-based life. Life with all its associated proteins & fats is likely the rarest thing in the cosmos. We know this because we’ve looked around and not found it anywhere else.
Earth’s Natural Resources Would be a Figurative Goldmine
While it rains diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn, the compounds necessary to support carbon-based life are much rarer. Earth’s trees, plants, animals, & humans might be so rare in the universe that aliens could invade in order to use these sources of energy.
The rarity of life in the universe makes the Earth a prime candidate for aliens wishing to create a planetary zoo or to rule us. They could also potentially farm the life on Earth for food much as humans currently do.
#3 Dominance
It could simply be that a space-faring race may come to the earth simply to rule the population. Remember Superman 2? Political and social power can be addictive and satisfying to intelligent beings. The desire to rule may even be a common trait of all intelligent species.
The Desire to Rule Depends on the Aliens
The culture of the aliens who happen to find us really determines the likelihood of this scenario. By all counts, it’s a true alien invasion of the type only seen in movies and cinema. The takeover could be quick and violent, or it could be slow and shadowy. Proponents say it’s already happening. They point to reports of reptilian aliens infiltrating our government and big corporations as evidence.
#4 They Might Be Looking for a Planetary Zoo
Zoos are pretty cool. Maybe aliens think so too? Perhaps aliens wouldn’t actually invade the earth as much as keeping it ‘caged up’ for observation.
Like the previous example, the planetary zoo is very possible. What’s really crazy? It might already be happening and we aren’t even aware of it.
#5 Food – Humans? Yummy!
There isn’t a single animal on this planet that humans won’t eat. We’ll eat anything except other humans (and there are even exceptions to that as well). Aliens might be the same way, especially if carbon-based life turns out to be a compatible food for their biology.
Based our own behavior towards other animals, this scenario is highly likely. Perhaps, it’s the most likely of all. And it’s utterly terrifying. With advanced intelligence and technology, humans would be raised as cattle scarcely aware of our true purpose. We might live out our lives without so much as a hint of our grisly ends at the hands of our alien farmers.
Other Reasons?
We can only guess at the motives of our potential alien invaders. Perhaps the alien invasion will have nothing to do with us at all, or maybe it will have everything to do with us. Regardless, if aliens ever do come to meet us with technology millions of years ahead of us, we won’t have much say in the matter anyway. And that’s the scariest part of the entire thing.
What do you think? Why would aliens invade the earth? Let us know below in the comments.
General Bible Discourses Vol 16. — Ezekiel's Wheel and the Extraterrestrial Question
There is a story in Ezekiel chapter 1, known as “Ezekiel’s Wheel”. This story is believed by many people both Christian and non-Christian alike, to represent an alien encounter experienced by the prophet Ezekiel. The four beasts in this story are often interpreted to be aliens, and the wheels are often interpreted to be flying saucers. However, the vision seen by the prophet Ezekiel in Ezekiel chapter 1, is likely a reference to the “Four Conquering Empires” of the Holy Bible namely Babylon, Persia, Macedon, and Rome. It should be noted that there are similar visions of four beasts had by the Prophet Daniel in the book of Daniel chapter 7, which turn out to be these same empires. In the book of Revelations Chapter 4, the Apostle John also documents his own visions that are similar to Ezekiel and Daniel’s visions in regards to beasts representing empires. Because of these similarities in representations concerning the dreams and visions had by prophets and apostles, I encourage the historical study of biblical narratives before reading and attempting to interpret dreams, visions, and revelations as they are presented in the Holy Bible.
... myself who had actually tried to figure out what the heck did Ezekiel see. Look at these artistic interpretations of what he saw … just look at them!
With the advent of the science fiction genre of entertainment, namely comic books, video games, television shows, and movies, the human imagination is more creative and vibrant than ever, making concepts such as aliens seem less impossible. The Bible does not address the existence of extra-terrestrial beings as we know them in the science fiction genre of entertainment. There are however, reports in the Bible of Angels appearing to man in modern times; Hebrews 13:2 tells us that these angels assume the appearance of everyday mortal men and that a person would not know that these men are of a divine nature. In my opinion, a person needs devout faith to believe in aliens, namely beings from distant galaxies that possess intelligence.
In my estimation, the sketchy photographs and imaginative artistic renderings of aliens and their spacecrafts and technology are not reliable as factual. Imagine if concrete evidence of Alien life was found. Whatever that evidence was, would be the centerpiece of every political address, film documentary, news story, magazine cover, religious sermon, and scientific inquiry all over the world. Museums would acquire the rights to these discoveries and charge healthy prices to the general public in order to view them. If living aliens were found, they would be placed in specialized zoos, open to any and all who could pay the money required to observe them. Scientists would dissect the bodies of deceased aliens and publish their findings in academic journals, and academic textbooks all over the world. The trajectory of human life would be forever changed based on these findings. Due to the absence of any of these historical, commercial, and scientific events, I conclude that the existence of extraterrestrials and their technology is a matter of personal belief, not much unlike the faith and personal belief that it takes to believe in angels or demons, albeit without the guidance of a holy book to contextualize the existence of such beings.
Did you know that NASA recently brought together scientists, philosophers and theologians from all over the planet to prepare the world for extraterrestrial contact? India’s greatest writings, the Vedas, talk about ‘flying ships’ or UFOs that visited the continent likely more than 6000 years ago.
NASA Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan recently said:
“I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade . . .I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within 20-30 years.” It isn’t going to take that long. UFOs have already been visiting us for centuries.
Stofan goes on to say:
“We’re on the verge of things that people have wondered about for millennia. Within all of our lifetimes we’re going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system. We’re going to understand the implications of that for life here on Earth.”
The truth is – people haven’t just wondered. They’ve known. Visitations by other-worldly beings have been happening through many cultures around the world, possibly for eons, and this is ‘disclosed’ in numerous ancient documents.
When the military industrial complex, or, NASA, as a small part of the cabal strong arm ‘discloses’ that ‘we’re going to have definitive evidence within decades’ it’s a ruse. Even JFK’s murder, and the silencing of thousands of whistleblowers is less astounding when you consider how long many human beings have been aware of the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial beings. While the efforts to hide this fact from modern humanity have been circumspect in the least, this news has very much been out in the open for those willing to look.
Only in very recent times have human beings questioned whether or not we were joined by other life forms in this universe. There is good reason for this.
The Vedas illustrated two main categories for UFOs. They are described in Sanskrit, using terms that are normally reserved to describe architecture, automata, military siege engines, and other mechanical contrivances, or in more recent works, such as the Mahabharata, the Puranas, and the Ramayana, there are more descriptions. One book called the Vaimanika Shastra (The Science of Aeronautics) is said to have been downloaded while a yogic sage was deep in trance, and it supposedly contains much knowledge from the Akashic records. Some of these texts infer that these crafts were controlled with our minds – essentially utilizing advanced technology which has been withheld from the masses in modern times.
Levitation and anti-gravity could have been utilized for centuries. Boeing, the world’s largest aircraft carrier manufacturer, recently declared that they were ‘working on’ anti-gravity and that it would ‘alter the entire aerospace industry,’ but they aren’t working on anything new.
Many believe that the Vedas speak of not only off-planet “flying ships” but also human-created craft.
Dr. V. Raghavan, a respected Sanskrit scholar of the University of Madras points to the ancient documents of India to prove that off-planet humans, and aliens alike visited the earth.
Raghavan says:
“Fifty years of researching this ancient work convinces me that there are living beings on other planets, and that they were visiting the earth as far back as 4000 B.C..” He goes on to explain:
“There is a just a mass of fascinating information about flying machines, even fantastic science fiction weapons, that can be found in translations of the Vedas (scriptures), Indian epics, and other ancient Sanskrit text”. The scholar explains different types of technologies that appear in the Mahabrahata, and the Ramayanas. Everything from ‘divine light’ to ray weapons, and even some kind of ‘hypnotic weapon’ is described.
When Boeing admits that they are working on anti-gravitation propulsion, “that will change the future of aerospace aviation as we know it,” and Eugene Podkletnov’s gravity beam is said to be able to “punch through brick and warp metal like a sledgehammer,” it becomes clear that some very powerful technologies have been suppressed.
Likely, beings that visited our planet over millennia shared at least some of their advanced technologies with humans.
Though some of these technologies can be used to wage war, some can be used to support life, and in our case, clean up a distressed planet. As Collective Evolution previously reported, multiple scientists have already confirmed that free energy exists.
As the Orion Project explains, “the U.S. Patent Office has a nine-member committee that screens patents in order to protect “national security.” This means that possibly tens of thousands of advanced devices and technologies exist right now.
When disclosure occurs – again – we will learn of technologies hidden in over 4000 ‘unnumbered’ patents that the US government keeps hidden, and likely even more than this.
For thousands of years, we’ve been kept in the dark, but this is all about to change – possibly as soon as September.
Mysterious Radio Blasts from a Distant Galaxy Draw Attention of Alien Hunters
Mysterious Radio Blasts from a Distant Galaxy Draw Attention of Alien Hunters

Repeating bursts of radio waves coming from a distant dwarf galaxy probably aren't signals from an extraterrestrial civilization, but that hasn't stopped a group of E.T. hunters from investigating this peculiar phenomenon.
In August, scientists with the $100 million Breakthrough Listen initiative began observing an object known as FRB 121102. The object is one of less than 40 known examples of a fast radio burst (FRB), an incredibly bright flash of radio waves. Scientists don't yet know what causes FRBs, which is why they took a particular interest in FRB 121102. While all other observed FRBs are single explosions of radio waves, this one was releasing bright flashes of light over and over again.
A new study, co-authored by scientists with Breakthrough Listen, reveals the conclusions of those August observations: nearly 100 percent of the light from FRB 121102 is polarized, meaning the orientation of the light waves are all in the same direction. Most radiating objects in the universe produce unpolarized light, so the uniformity of light from FRB 121102 could help scientists narrow down the type of object or environment that might be producing those flashes. (You can read our full story here.)
"As far as the FRB121102 goes, I don't think there is any slight possibility that [the pulses] are from an extraterrestrial intelligence," Vishal Gajjar, a scientist with Breakthrough Listen, said yesterday (Jan. 10) during a news conference at the 231st meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington, D.C.
The primary reason for Gajjar's skepticism is that the object is in a dwarf galaxy about 3 billion light-years away from Earth. A civilization trying to contact another civilization probably wouldn't bother to create such a powerful signal, simply because the time it would take to receive a reply would be prohibitively long. For example, the radio waves from FRB 121102 took 3 billion years to reach Earth — the civilization that sent the message might very well be dead and gone by the time it received a reply!
But Gajjar said Breakthrough Listen is also interested in investigating unexplainable phenomenon in the universe, even if those phenomena are naturally occurring.
Polarized light
One explanation for the polarized light coming from FRB 121102 could be the presence of a very strong magnetic field, according to a statement from the University of California, Berkeley, where the Breakthrough Listen laboratory is based. The only known place in the universe with such strong magnetic fields is in the vicinity of a massive black hole — such as the supermassive blackholes thought to lie at the centers of most galaxies — that has gas and dust falling into it, according to the statement. The authors of the paper hypothesize that the source of the radio waves could be another highly magnetized object, known as a magnetar, that lies near a massive black hole. A magnetar is a type of neutron star, an incredibly dense nugget of material about the size of a city, that forms when a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses.
If this is, in fact, the source of FRB 121102, Gajjar said that's another reason to suspect that the signal is natural, not artificial: An environment with such an extreme magnetic field wouldn't be very habitable because of the extreme conditions it would create, he told Space.com in an interview.
The polarization of light from FRB 121102 was also observed by a group of scientists using the William E. Gordon Telescope at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Breakthrough Listen used the Greenbank Radio Telescope in West Virginia, coupled with a massive computing system that consists of 32 computing nodes, each taking in 1 gigabyte of data per second. In an hour, that adds up to the equivalent of 18,000 DVDs, Gajjar said at the news conference.
The huge computing backend allows the researchers to capture a wide range of radio frequencies simultaneously, providing a more complete picture of the irregular pulses coming from FRB 121102.
The Breakthrough researchers observed the FRB in some of the higher-frequency radio waves emitted by the FRB, where they found pulses of light that lasted for between 0.00003 and 0.009 seconds in duration. Those incredibly short pulses can be used to indicate the size of the object emitting them, and, according to the paper, the object could be as small as 10 kilometers across, or the typical size of a neutron star, according to the statement. The researchers say they plan to study the repeating FRB in even higher frequencies than what was reported in the paper, which could potentially help them narrow down the possible sources of the burst even further, according to the statement.
At the news conference, the paper's authors said there are many other hypotheses that could explain FRBs. It is unclear yet if the peculiar behavior of FRB 121102 is unusual among all FRBs or just among those that scientists have been able to observe, they said, but there are new radio telescopes coming online soon that will be able to scan for these events and help researchers learn more about them.
Recently, Breakthrough Listen scientists have also studied the space rock 'Oumuamua that scientists believe came from another solar system, and "Boyajian's Star," which has mystified astronomers with its strange flickering.
Editor's note: This article previously stated that the dwarf galaxy is 3 billion miles away from Earth; it is 3 billion light years away.
Water may be widespread on the moon after all – new research
Water may be widespread on the moon after all – new research
Water on the moon is widespread across its surface and appears to be present at all times of the lunar day, according to a new analysis of two lunar missions.
The new evidence contradicts previous research suggesting water was confined to certain areas and depended on lunar days. “We find that it doesn’t matter what time of day or which latitude we look at, the signal indicating water always seems to be present,” said Joshua Bandfield, a senior research scientist with the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and lead author of a new study published in Nature Geoscience.
“The presence of water doesn’t appear to depend on the composition of the surface, and the water sticks around,” he added. It’s hoped the results will lead to a greater understanding of the origins of the moon’s water and offer insight into how it could be used as a resource.
It’s not yet clear how accessible the water supply is but if it is convenient to reach it could be used as a drinking water for future explorers or converted to use for rocket fuel, NASA said in a statement.
Water, water, everywhere, but is there a drop to drink? Data from 2 lunar missions finds evidence that the Moon’s water is widely distributed across the surface. If the Moon has enough accessible , it could be an essential resource to future explorers: http://go.nasa.gov/2EPwxX3
Earlier studies suggested that more water was detected at the moon’s polar latitudes and that the strength of the water signal waxes and wanes according to the lunar day. However, these analyses depended on remote-sensing instruments which were challenged by the mixture of reflected and emitted light. For this latest examination, Bandfield and his team created a new model to incorporate temperature information for more accurate results.
Their results showed widespread and relatively immobile water indicating that it may be present primarily as hydroxyl (OH), a more reactive relative of H2O that is made of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom. It also suggests that any H2O present on the moon isn’t loosely attached to the surface.
“By putting some limits on how mobile the water or the OH on the surface is, we can help constrain how much water could reach the cold traps in the polar regions,” said Michael Poston, of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas.
Discussions are still continuing among researchers about what exactly these new findings reveal about the source of the moon’s water. One theory is that the water is created by the solar wind hitting the lunar surface; however, the team hasn’t ruled out the possibility that the moon itself could be the source. It is conceivable that the water could be slowly released from deep inside minerals, where it has been locked since the moon was formed, NASA stated.
“Some of these scientific problems are very, very difficult, and it’s only by drawing on multiple resources from different missions that are we able to hone in on an answer,” said NASA scientist John Keller.
It was 1945, and science fiction writer Ray Palmer was working as the editor of a popular pulp fiction magazine called Amazing Stories. A diminutive fellow with a hunchback, Palmer had suffered a near-crippling accident early in life that broke his spine, and the resulting unsuccessful surgery stunted his growth. Thus, at the age of 35, Palmer had grown to a mere four feet in height.
It was on an afternoon during the year in question that Palmer happened upon an odd letter in the office slush pile. The letter was from a man who claimed he had managed to decipher a secret, coded ancient language, of which evidence could still be discerned from modern writing. Palmer wrote back to the author, a Mr. Richard Sharp Shaver of Pennsylvania, seeking clarification on the unusual matter. This prompted a long, rambling letter from Shaver, who claimed to learn of this, and other mysteries of our world, after psychically overhearing the communications of beings living in extensive caverns below ground.
Shaver was no great writer himself, if this grandiloquent offering was any indication, though Palmer saw potential nonetheless. From it, he began to construct an outline based on Shaver’s missive, and shaped it into a decent fantasy story, which eventually saw publication under the title, “I Remember Lemuria.”
Thus, the Shaver Mystery was born.
Initially intended to be read and enjoyed only as fiction, Shaver’s weird ramblings would inspire Palmer and the publishers of Amazing Stories to continue publication of “Shaver Mystery” stories for several years, during which the readership of the magazine reportedly increased by thousands. Throughout the period which saw the publication of stories based on his odd, rambling mythos, Shaver had always maintained that his “communications” with inner-earth dwellers were real and that the stories of cavern systems inhabited by strange beings beneath the Earth were based on fact.
Following the publication of the novella “I Remember Lemuria,” Palmer professed that letters his publication recieved–usually numbering less than fifty or so each month–were now close to 50,000. Equally impressive had been that many of these fan letters detailed strange experiences, expounding on the exploits of these deep-Earth denizens Shaver claimed to have met.
Among the letters Palmer received had been the story of a woman who, claiming to have served as a medical specialist in France during the Second World War, entered the sub-basement of an old building via an elevator. A cavernous opening existed in the lowest portion of the building, and upon her discovery of the entrance to an underground realm, the woman was captured by a group of monstrous creatures. She claimed to have been held prisoner by these beings for an indefinite period, after which she was finally discovered and released by a group of benign, human-like saviors. (An apparent nod toward this story was later featured in the works of science fiction writer Harlan Ellison, who wrote in a short story titled, “The Elevator People” that, “There are five hundred buildings in the United States whose elevators go deeper than the basement.” Ellison, however, was a vocal critic of the Shaver Mystery stories and had at one time badgered Palmer about his insistence on publishing them.)
Much like the story above outlines, Shaver categorized these subterranean inhabitants into two different groups: a monstrous, evil group called Deros (meaning “detrimental robots”), and their good-natured counterparts the Teros, who were nearly identical to humans in appearance.
Palmer himself had begun to wonder about the circumstances surrounding all this insanity, and Shaver’s claims that the events related in his letters to Amazing Stories were true. His curiosity finally prompted a visit to Richard Shaver’s home in Pennsylvania. After a late-evening coffee session, Palmer was led upstairs and shown to the spare bedroom, where throughout the evening he claimed, to his astonishment, to hear five individual voices of men, women, children, and even an “old gruff man.” According to Palmer, he was terrified to hear a discussion that pertained to the dismemberment of a human woman someplace four miles away–and presumably four miles down. Discussing the experience with Shaver the following morning, the strange host claimed he had asked the “beings” to “go easy on him (Palmer),” and Palmer, finally growing in his conviction regarding the Shaver Mystery himself, was able to get a night’s sleep uninterrupted.
This would be only one of many strange stories Palmer would recount, and though Richard Shaver’s own sanity would later come into question on many occasions, the prolific interest in his visions of an inner-Earth struggle would continue, inspiring a generation of devotees and researchers that included Timothy Green Beckley, who had known Palmer personally. Of his own discovery of Richard Shaver’s visions of conflict in a subterranean world, he admits being “chilled to the bone,” by the stories as a young reader, saying it was “stuff that nightmares were made of, and I was intrigued just as Ray Palmer had been.”
Palmer’s convictions about Shaver’s ideas would come and go over the years. After leaving Amazing Stories, the former editor was still under contractual obligations that prevented him from launching a competing publication. He did, however, do so anyway under a pseudonym, which led to the appearance of FATE, a magazine which, at the time, was mostly devoted to the burgeoning interest in flying saucers that followed pilot Kenneth Arnold’s observation of a group of objects over Mount Rainier, Washington in 1947.
Initially, Palmer had been convinced that the appearance of flying saucers might prove to be a vindication for Shaver’s claims, supposing that the seemingly advanced aircraft might actually belong to the subterranean dwellers discussed in his stories. With the founding of FATE, Palmer hoped in part to be able to get to the bottom of the saucer mystery, but after a few years, he left the operation which continued under the publication of his partner, Curtis Fuller.
Ultimately, what was Palmer to make of Shaver and his stories? Like many, it seemed by the 1970s that he had become disillusioned with Shaver and his claims, even noting in 1971 that during periods Shaver claimed to have lived underground amidst the warring factions of Deros and Teros, that he had instead been hospitalized in a mental institution.
The stories, of course, were purely imaginary, supplemented perhaps by the ramblings of a once disturbed mind; but in their heyday, the stories of Richard Shaver saw a kind of success and popularity that was nearly unrivaled in the science fiction genre.
UFO Fleet Caught On Video Moving Underneath a Passenger Jet
UFO Fleet Caught On Video Moving Underneath a Passenger Jet
Online community on UFOs has been debating about the video showing an inexplicable fleet of UFOs recorded on video from a plane. The footage was initially sent to US-based Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which keeps a global database of UFO sightings, for investigations and it went viral after several UFO and conspiracy theory websites shared it.
The video was allegedly shot above Taiwan. It shows apparent eight bright circular orbs flying slowly just beneath the plane. According to the report from an unnamed witness, they were on the aeroplane of Eva Airlines from Vancouver, Canada to Taipei, Taiwan when they saw bright lights flying underneath. They saw around eight UFOs flying under the plane.
They managed to get a slow-motion video of the UFOs until they were asked to shut down their camera as part of a landing policy.
Many online viewers of the video thought it was a fleet of UFOs moving beneath the plane.
The video was recorded in October 2014, but only recently it has been shared online.
Sceptics believe those are just reflections of small lakes as the plane appears to travel over mountains. Some even say that they are only ships in the sea as they are not moving and not above the clouds. Others suggest they are oil rigs as the plane is leaving them behind, which means they are either slower or stationary.
However, many firmly believe that those are evidence of UFOs.
Le phénomène extraterrestre et OVNI selon le scientifique Jacques Vallée…
Le phénomène extraterrestre et OVNI selon le scientifique Jacques Vallée…
…Une supercherie organisée par les gouvernements et par un système de contrôle “interdimensionel”
Voici quelques citations des livres du Dr. Jacques Vallée, docteur et expert dans plusieurs disciplines dont l’astrophysique, l’informatique et les mathématiques. Un scientifique qui s’est intéressé à l’ufologie tout au long de sa carrière professionnelle et qui, comme d’autres hommes de science, arrive à la conclusion que le phénomène “extraterrestre” fait partie d’un système de contrôle “interdimensionel” organisé en une hiérarchie d’entités spirituelles (qui s’approche de celui décrit dans Éphésiens 6:12) qui, par la psyché humaine ou l’inconscient collectif, manipulent l’humanité.
Comme plusieurs chercheurs et auteurs, il ne croit pas que ces entités sont “nos frères de lumière” et qu’elles vont nous envoyer un Messie Sauveur, mais il affirme que ces êtres surnaturels s’apparentent plutôt à des esprits démoniaques qui n’ont que pour seul objectif de tromper l’humanité. Vallée conclut que l’intrusion “extraterrestre” (interdimensionelle) est sinistre et prédatrice, que les “messagers” ou “contactés” sont tous manipulés et trompés.
Selon Vallée et d’autres scientifiques dont John Keel, J. Allen Hynek et le psychiatre Carl Jung, le phénomène ovni n’est pas d’origine extraterrestre, mais « il apparaît plutôt commeun effet interdimentionnel qui manipule les réalités physiques hors de notre propre continuum espace-temps », et plus loin il écrit, « mon hypothèse est qu’il existe un niveau de contrôle de la société qui fonctionne comme un régulateur de l’évolution de l’homme, et que le phénomène ovni doit être considéré sur ce plan » (extraits de «Autres Dimensions, Chronique des contacts avec un autre monde »).
Jacques Vallée croit que les théories physiques et cosmologiques actuelles n’arrivent pas à expliquer l’action d’un tel système. Il croit que les ovnis sont une réalité physique possédant une masse, une inertie, un volume, et des paramètres physiques mesurables, mais qu’ils agissent dans des dimensions inconnues de notre propre environnement.
Selon Jacques Vallée, le phénomène “extraterrestre” est entretenu telle une supercherie par nos élites parce qu’il a une profonde et décisive influence sur nos croyances et nos orientations spirituelles. Il croit que l’humanité est volontairement trompée de la façon suivante :
1°) la négation officielle qui s’exerce par une pression sur les témoins pour les décourager de témoigner;
2°) dès qu’un témoin parvient à expliquer ce qu’il a vu, il y a fabrication par les autorités, de toute une panoplie d’explications fantaisistes n’ayant aucun rapport avec le phénomène;
3°) le phénomène ovni contient un mécanisme pour s’expliquer lui-même. Il induit dans l’esprit des témoins une fausse interprétation de lui-même, pour nier, en quelque sorte, son existence. Il ne chercherait donc pas le contact, mais tenterait plutôt d’exercer un contrôle sur l’humanité.
Le Dr Vallée en est venu à penser au cours de ses recherches échelonnées sur de nombreuses années, que les ovnis ne devaient pas être d’origine extraterrestre mais plutôt provenir d’une autre dimension, dimension identifiée par lui comme étant celle ou vivent les êtres que l’on trouve dans tous les folklores. Il écrit dans son livreConfrontations: A Scientist’s Search for Alien Contact : “J’ai indiqué dans le Collège Invisible (groupe informel de scientifiques, précurseur de la Royal Society) que la structure des histoires d’enlèvements était identique à celle des rituels d’initiation occulte. Plusieurs années auparavant, j’avais déjà montré dans [le livre] “Visa pour la Magonie” que les contact avec les extraterrestres n’était qu’une extension moderne de la vieille tradition du contact avec une conscience non humaine prenant la forme d’anges, de démons, d’elfes et de Sylphes”.
Vallée reconnaît la réalité physique des ovnis, qu’il s’agit de phénomènes naturels inconnus, voire impliquant une autre dimension, mais il lui accole aussi une dimension sociologique obscure. Après avoir travaillé quelques années pour des institutions gouvernementales (NASA et pour le “Projet Blue Book”), il croit qu’il y a manipulation gouvernementale en ce qui concerne les ovnis, l’existence extraterrestre et tout ce qui entoure la divulgation d’une vie extraterrestre (“Disclosure project”). Selon Vallée, les gouvernements poursuivent des études psycho-sociologiques qui visent à expérimenter le contrôle de la psyché des foules (l’inconscient collectif). Il qualifie les chercheurs actuels, particulièrement ceux du CUFOS et du MUFON, comme des “amateurs diligents”!
Voici la transcription d’une entrevue avec Jacques Vallée:
Il me semble de plus en plus évident que la Bible pourrait nous révéler que la “grande apostasie” (perte de la foi) qui doit se produire à la “Fin des temps” sera causée par l’arrivée de ceux que l’on appelle les “extraterrestres”, et de l’Antéchrist, d’où la “puissance d’égarement”….
* Je me dissocie de la vue “prétribulationniste” du texte “La Grande tromperie de Satan”, cette théologie étant à mon avis biaisée. Toutefois, elle ne change en rien l’exhortation à la prudence et au discernement. Les croyants (la bonne semence) ne peuvent être “enlevés” (moissonnés) avant les habitants de la terre (l’ivraie) puisqu’il est écrit:
Les serviteurs lui disent : Alors, veux-tu que nous allions arracher l’ivraie ? Non, dit le maître : en arrachant l’ivraie, vous pourriez aussi déraciner le blé. Laissez-les pousser ensemble jusqu’à la moisson, et à ce moment-là je dirai aux moissonneurs : Ramassez d’abord l’ivraie, faites-en des bottes pour la brûler ; ensuite, ramassez le blé et mettez-le dans mon grenier. Matthieu 13: 24-30
Explique-nous la parabole de l’ivraie dans le champ. Il [Jésus] leur répond : “Celui qui sème le bon grain, c’est le Fils de l’homme; le champ, c’est le monde; le bon grain, ce sont ceux qui suivent ma Parole; l’ivraie, ce sont les méchants; l’ennemi qui l’a semée, c’est le diable; la moisson, c’est la fin du monde; les moissonneurs, ce sont les anges. A la fin du monde, ce sera la même chose: comme à la moisson on arrache d’abord l’ivraie pour la brûler, le Fils de l’homme enverra ses anges; ils ramasseront, pour les renvoyer dehors, tous ceux qui font le mal […] Alors les justes brilleront comme le soleil dans le Royaume de Dieu leur Père. Entendez bien, si vous avez des oreilles ! Matthieu 13: 36-43
WEERNIEUWSOok in Sint-Petersburg is het momenteel bijtend koud. Het kwik zakte er tot onder -20 graden Celcius en dat zorgde vrijdagnacht voor een speciaal weerfenomeen.
Inwoners van de Russische stad deelden op sociale media verschillende foto’s van lichtzuilen die er de nachtelijke hemel kleurden. Het spektakel duurde ongeveer een halfuur. Sommige internauten vermoedden dat het om noorderlicht ging, maar daar had de lichtshow niets mee te maken. De zuilen ontstaan wanneer licht gereflecteerd wordt op in de lucht zwevende ijskristallen. Als dat gebeurt door zonlicht spreken we van zonnezuilen. In Sint-Petersburg lagen kunstmatige lichtbronnen aan de basis. Ofwel: lichtvervuiling met een magisch kantje.

Strange Blue Rays of Light in the Sky over Hawaii
Strange Blue Rays of Light in the Sky over Hawaii
A very rare light pillar was captured on the night of February 13/14, 2018 by the Gemini skycam facing south from the top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Frankie Lucena who was checking the skycam came across this rarely seen event in this part of the world.
Blue Ray of Light Hawaii.
Light pillars usually occur in cold climates, so to see them this far south is indeed very rare. But not only the strange light pillar appeared over Hawaii, even stranger are the three blue rays of light that suddenly came out of nowhere.
The rare light pillar in Hawaii could be a natural phenomenon, like the amazing light pillar at sunrise photographed by our reader from Coventry in the UK on February 14, 2018. Thanks.
Light Pillar UK.
But what about the blue rays of light?
Blue Ray of Light and Light Pillar Hawaii.
Lightning, maybe but these blue rays of light are completely different from the specific lightning strikes as we know.

Mars wist bijna alle sporen van de Phoenix-lander uit
Mars wist bijna alle sporen van de Phoenix-lander uit
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Alleen de lander, zijn hitteschild en parachutes getuigen nog van de landing die bijna 10 jaar geleden plaatsvond.
De Phoenix-lander zette in mei 2008 voet op Mars. En dat zorgde voor behoorlijk wat beroering op de stoffige planeet. Dat blijkt onder meeruit onderstaande foto die de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter twee maanden na de landing van Phoenix maakte. De donkere vlekken zijn plaatsen waar de landende Phoenix stof heeft weggeslingerd. De lander zelf zie je linksboven, rechtsonder zijn de parachutes en het hitteschild van de lander neergekomen.

Inmiddels is het bijna tien jaar geleden dat Phoenix geland is en zijn de sporen die deze op Mars naliet, eigenlijk allemaal verdwenen, zo blijkt uit een nieuwe foto, opnieuw gemaakt door de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (zie hieronder). De plekken waar stof was weggeslingerd, zijn opnieuw met stof bedekt. En eigenlijk getuigen alleen de lander, zijn hitteschild en parachutes nog van de spannende missie die zich hier een decennium geleden voltrok.

Phoenix landde op misschien wel één van de spannendste plekken op Mars: de noordpool. Hoewel de rode planeet vandaag de dag koud en droog is, bevinden zich op de noordpool net onder het oppervlak behoorlijke hoeveelheden waterijs. Phoenix kreeg de opdracht om dat ijs op te zoeken. En dat lukte. Eind juli 2008 maakte NASA bekend dat de lander water had ontdekt in de Marsgrond. Een primeur. Want hoewel orbiters de aanwezigheid van dit water al suggereerden, was Phoenix de eerste die het water daadwerkelijk aanraakte.
De missie van Phoenix zou oorspronkelijk drie maanden duren, maar werd na afloop verlengd. Uiteindelijk zou de lander in totaal vijf maanden actief zijn op Mars. Langer kon deze door zonne-energie aangedreven lander het niet uithouden: hij was niet ontworpen om de donkere arctische winter te overleven.

Gluren in de buitenaardse ionosfeer.
De afgelopen jaren zijn er duizenden exoplaneten ontdekt en aardig wat van die planeten lijken geschikt voor leven (zoals wij dat kennen). Maar herbergen ze het ook? Dat is natuurlijk de grote vraag. Op dit moment proberen onderzoekers deze te beantwoorden door te zoeken naar een cruciaal element voor leven (zoals wij dat kennen): water. Maar er is een betere aanpak, zo stellen Amerikaanse onderzoekers in het blad Nature Astronomy. Ze stellen voor om de focus te verleggen naar de ionosfeer van exoplaneten. Dat is het dunne, bovenste laagje van de atmosfeer en het kan prima verraden of er ver daaronder, op het oppervlak van de planeet, leven is.
O+ Het idee ontstond toen onderzoeker Michael Mendillo de ionosferen van planeten in het zonnestelsel vergeleken. Het is al jaren bekend dat er grote verschillen zijn tussen de ionosferen en dat met name die van de aarde zich sterk onderscheidt: in de meeste ionosferen zijn gecompliceerde, geladen moleculen te vinden die voortkomen uit koolstofdioxide of waterstof, maar die van de aarde is vrij simpel en voornamelijk gevuld met een specifiek type zuurstof: O+. “Ik begon te denken, waarom is onze ionosfeer zo anders dan die van de andere zes (Mercurius heeft geen atmosfeer, red.),” vertelt Mendillo. Zijn onderzoeksteam zocht het uit en ontdekte dat het alles te maken heeft met de aanwezigheid van groene planten en algen op aarde.
ZOEKEN NAAR LEVEN
Op de afbeelding hierboven zie je een artistieke impressie van LHS 1140b: misschien wel de beste plek om naar tekenen van leven buiten het zonnestelsel te zoeken. Nieuwsgierig welke planeten nog meer goede kanshebbers zijn voor die titel? Klik hier!
De rol van planten De meeste planeten in ons zonnestelsel hebben wel wat zuurstof in hun lagere atmosfeer zitten, maar de aarde heeft er heel veel van. Dat komt doordat veel organismen op het oppervlak al heel lang (zo’n 3,8 miljard jaar) aan fotosynthese doen en licht, water en CO2 omzetten in zuurstof. “Verwijder alle planten op aarde en de zuurstof in onze atmosfeer zal in een paar duizend jaar verdwijnen,” vertelt onderzoeker Paul Withers. De zuurstof die al deze planten produceren, blijft echter niet nabij het oppervlak hangen; overtallige zuurstofmoleculen stijgen in de vorm van O2 op. Wanneer het op zo’n 150 kilometer hoogte komt, wordt het door UV-licht uiteengerukt en blijven enkele zuurstofatomen over. Die stijgen verder op, de ionosfeer in, waar nog meer UV- en röntgenstraling van de zon leidt tot een overvloed aan O+.
Biomarker En die overvloed aan O+ is dus een direct gevolg van leven op onze planeet en is daarmee een prima biomarker. Een biomarker is eigenlijk niets anders dan een molecuul dat wijst op de aanwezigheid van leven. Veel van de biomarkers die nu gebruikt worden – zoals de aanwezigheid van water – suggereren alleen dat er leven mogelijk is. Maar de ionosfeer kan ons veel meer vertellen, benadrukt Mendillo. “Waarom komen we niet met een maatstaf waarbij de ionosfeer de biomarker is, niet alleen van mogelijk, maar van daadwerkelijk leven?”
Minder aannames De nieuwe aanpak kan de zoektocht naar buitenaards leven volgens Mendillo een impuls geven, doordat we minder aannames hoeven te doen over wat buitenaards leven nodig heeft. Op dit moment richt de zoektocht zich voornamelijk op planeten die rond M-klasse sterren cirkelen en zich in de leefbare zone bevinden (en dus in theorie water kunnen herbergen). Dat is logisch, want het leven zoals wij dat kennen, kan niet zonder water. Maar onduidelijk is nog hoeveel water een planeet nodig heeft om leven te kunne herbergen. “Als we alleen de Middellandse Zee hadden gehad, zou dat dan genoeg zijn geweest? Hebben we de Stille Oceaan nodig, maar de Atlantische Oceaan niet? Als je kijkt naar de ionosfeer hoef je dat niet te weten.”
Er moeten wel twee belangrijke kanttekeningen bij het voorstel van Mendillo en collega’s geplaatst worden. Zo gaan ze ervan uit dat het leven op andere planeten in grove lijnen werkt zoals het leven op aarde (en dus aan fotosynthese doet). Daarnaast hebben we op dit moment de instrumenten niet om een ionosfeer op een exoplaneet te detecteren. Maar dat laatste is een kwestie van tijd, zo denken de onderzoekers.
