Graham Hancock: An Entire Episode Of The Human Story Has Been Lost

Hancock describes an advanced civilization very different from our own, with advanced technological skills. This should have taken hundreds or even thousands of years to evolve, but it was brought into use almost overnight.

Amazing research and presentation. still coming into grasps with this. but really angry of those mainstream academics from the Dark-ages for freezing funds towards discovery and research.

Pentagon’s New Arms-Research Chief Eyes Space-Based Ray Guns

BY PATRICK TUCKERTECHNOLOGY EDITOR READ BIO

Neutral-particle beams, a concept first tried in the 1980s, may get a fresh look under Michael Griffin.

The next thing in space-based weapons could be decades old, according to Michael Griffin, the first defense undersecretary for research and engineering.

“Directed energy is more than just big lasers,” Griffin said. “That’s important. High-powered microwave approaches can effect an electronics kill. The same with the neutral particle beam systems we explored briefly in the 1990s” for use in space-based anti-missile systems. Such weapons can be “useful in a variety of environments” and have the “advantage of being non-attributable,” meaning that it can be hard to pin an attack with a particle weapon on any particular culprit since it leaves no evidence behind of who or even what did the damage.

Like lasers, neutral-particle beams focus beams of energy that travel in straight lines, unaffected by electromagnetic fields. But instead of light, neutral-particle beams use composed of accelerated subatomic particles traveling at near-light speed, making them easier to work with (though the folks that run CERN’s hadron collider may disagree). When its particles touche the surface of a target, they takes on a charge that allows them to penetrate the target’s shell or exterior more deeply.

This all makes neutral-particle beams attractive as space-based anti-missile systems. Over the years, various defense companies have released mockups of proposed designs that seem to come out of an issue of Popular Mechanics circa 1950.

The Pentagon first tested the concept in the late 1980s as part of a program called the Neutral Particle Beam, or NPB. According to a 1990 writeup that military scientists sent to lawmakers, it explored the possibility of a space-based weapon that could “kill missiles and reentry vehicles in the boost, post-boost, and mid-course portion of an ICBM trajectory as well as discriminated objects during the midcourse phase” — meaning a defensive system that could  knock out missiles as they were leaving the launch pad or flying in space toward their target.

Commercial Plane over Turkey almost hit by UFO

Kerry John together with his wife flew over Turkey somewhere over Izman and Khios Sea heading into Athens around 4.30 pm on March 21, 2018 when they noticed something that appears to be flying away at right angles from the commercial jet and somehow without either of them appearing to turn they end up almost following the black object.

Kerry states: In my days I was the vice president of the UFO society in Canberra Australia. We investigated sightings but I must admit this was odd even for me.

It was obviously close as the angle relative to the plane changed quite rapidly.

Up at altitude we often see in undisturbed air as this was a very calm air, white streaks like fine layers of crystalline clouds.

This was spotted by my wife a little before I filmed it. It was a thin black line. When I first saw it and to me incorrectly, it appeared to turn straight towards the plane I thought I had seconds to live and was relieved to realize it was facing away and we appeared to fly by.

Note: Black object is a UFO or a Missile? In case it is a missile better you think twice before you take a commercial plane that flies over Turkey!

A Viking spacecraft image of the Tharsis region of Mars. The scene shows the Tharsis bulge, a huge ridge covered by the 3 large aligned Tharsis Montes shield volcanoes (from lower left to right): Arsia, Pavonis, and Ascraeus Mons. To the left of the Tharsis Montes lies the huge Olympus Mons shield volcano. Read more about this image here.

A new study suggests oceans on Mars were shallower and formed several hundred million years earlier than thought, and links their existence to the rise of the planet’s Tharsis volcano system.

Tharsis is a vast volcanic plateau centered near the equator in Mars’ western hemisphere. The region is home to the largest volcanoes in our solar system.

Michael Manga, a University of California, Berkeley professor of earth and planetary science, is senior author of the paper, published Monday (March 19, 2018) in the journal Nature. Manga said in a statement:

Volcanoes may be important in creating the conditions for Mars to be wet.

The early ocean known as Arabia (left, blue) would have looked like this when it formed 4 billion years ago on Mars, while the Deuteronilus ocean, about 3.6 billion years old, had a smaller shoreline. Both coexisted with the massive volcanic province Tharsis, located on the unseen side of the planet, which may have helped support the existence of liquid water. The water is now gone, perhaps frozen underground and partially lost to space, while the ancient seabed is known as the northern plains.

Those who adhere to the theory that Mars never had oceans of liquid water often point out that estimates of the size of the oceans don’t jibe with estimates of how much water could be hidden on Mars today as permafrost underground, and how much could have escaped into space. These are the main options, scientists say, given that the polar ice caps don’t contain enough water to fill an ocean.

The new study proposes that the oceans formed before or at the same time as Mars’ largest volcanic feature, Tharsis, instead of after the volcanic system formed 3.7 billion years ago.

According to the study, Tharsis was smaller at that time, so it didn’t distort the planet as much as it did later – in particular the plains that cover most of the northern hemisphere and are the presumed ancient seabed.

The researchers say that the absence of crustal deformation from Tharsis means the seas would have been shallower, holding about half the water of earlier estimates. Manga said:

The assumption was that Tharsis formed quickly and early, rather than gradually, and that the oceans came later. We’re saying that the oceans predate and accompany the lava outpourings that made Tharsis.

Tharsis, now a 3,000-mile-wide (5,000 km) eruptive complex, dominates the topography of Mars. Earth, which is twice the diameter and 10 times more massive than Mars, has no equivalent dominating feature. Tharsis’ bulk creates a bulge on the opposite side of the planet and a depression halfway between. This explains why estimates of the volume of water the northern plains could hold based on today’s topography are twice what the new study estimates based on the topography 4 billion years ago.

The scientists suggest that Tharsis spewed gases into the atmosphere that created a global warming or greenhouse effect that allowed liquid water to exist on the planet, and also that volcanic eruptions created channels that allowed underground water to reach the surface and fill the northern plains.

A map of Mars today shows where scientists have identified possible ancient shoreline that may have been etched by intermittent oceans billions of years ago. The new study counters another argument against Mars oceans: that the proposed shorelines are irregular, varying in height by as much as a kilometer, when they should be level, like shorelines on Earth. The study says the irregular elevations of these shorelines can be explained by the growth of the volcanic province called Tharsis some 3.7 billion years ago, which would have deformed the topography and misaligned the shorelines. Arabia (magenta) is more than 4 billion years old, while the Deuteronilus (white) and Isidis (cyan) shoreline are several million years younger. The solid contour lines represent the Tharsis bulge (left) and the antipodal bulge it created (right), with dashed contour lines indicating the depressions in between.

Bottom line: A new study links water oceans on ancient Mars to the rise of the planet’s Tharsis volcano system.

The craft’s last data reveal new details about the gas planet’s clouds and rings

BY 

LISA GROSSMAN 

 

COMING INTO FOCUS  Saturn shines in this Cassini image taken in October 2013. Even though the spacecraft is gone, scientists are still learning from its 13 years’ worth of data.

JPL-CALTECH/NASA, SSI, CORNELL UNIV.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — It’s been six months since NASA’s Cassini spacecraft plunged to its doom in the atmosphere of Saturn, but scientists didn’t spend much time mourning. They got busy, analyzing the spacecraft’s final data.

The Cassini mission ended September 15, 2017, after more than 13 years orbiting Saturn (SN Online: 9/15/17). The spacecraft’s final 22 orbits, dubbed the Grand Finale, sent Cassini into the potentially dangerous region between the gas giant and its rings, and its final orbit sent it directly into Saturn’s atmosphere.

That perspective helped solve mysteries about the planet and its moons that could not be tackled any other way, scientists said March 19 at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas.

“In so many ways, the Grand Finale orbits provided information that was totally unexpected,” said Cassini project scientist Linda Spilker of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. “So many of our models were not correct.”

Here are five things we now know and a few outstanding mysteries.

1. Saturn’s clouds go deep

Those final daredevil orbits allowed Cassini to measure the gravity of Saturn and its rings independent of one another. Looking at the planet’s gravity field alone revealed that the swirling bands of clouds penetrate much deeper into the planet than expected.

Astronomers this month announced a similar discovery for an even larger gas giant, reporting that the Juno spacecraft, which is orbiting Jupiter, had found that the planet’s rotating cloud belts reach roughly 3,000 kilometers below the top of the atmosphere.

Saturn’s clouds reach a few times deeper than that. “This was an astonishing result,” Spilker said.

“People used to think that maybe Saturn was just a slightly smaller version of Jupiter, but it’s evident that that’s not the case,” says planetary scientist Paul Schenk of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, who was not involved in the gravity measurements. The difference speaks to how diverse planets are, he says. “Every place you look, everywhere we’ve been to, it’s just been so dramatically different and unique.”

2. Ring rain is eroding the innermost ring

Grains of ice from the rings are raining down into Saturn’s atmosphere, Cassini’s final orbits confirmed. This “ring rain” idea has been suggested since the 1980s, but only by tasting the atmosphere and directly sampling the space between Saturn and the rings could Cassini confirm the rains are real.

In its last five full orbits, Cassini found a zoo of organic molecules in and just above Saturn’s atmosphere, said planetary scientist Kelly Miller of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. The spacecraft found a lot of water, which wasn’t surprising — water makes up about 90 percent of the rings. But there were also a lot of hydrocarbons similar to propane, plus some methane and sulfur-bearing molecules.

The types of molecules became less well-mixed as the spacecraft looked deeper into Saturn’s atmosphere, which is what would happen if the particles came from the rings and sank at different speeds. The researchers think this material is especially raining from Saturn’s D ring, the thin innermost ring. Other Cassini data suggest this ring is losing mass.

“The D ring is slowly being eroded away and going into the planet,” Spilker said.

3. Organics could explain mysterious ring hues

The organics in the ring rain could solve a debate about why Saturn’s rings appear reddish in some spots.

“We’ve had this debate going on for a couple of years now — are they red because of good old-fashioned rust like Mars, or because of the same kinds of organic materials … that make carrots and tomatoes and watermelon red?” said planetary scientist Jeff Cuzzi of NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif. “To me, this answers the question of what makes the rings red: It’s organics.”

It’s still not clear where the organics come from, though. They could be created within the rings, or they could come from cosmic dust from the tails of comets. Miller and her colleagues are comparing the ring rain molecules with data on comet 67P, which the Rosetta spacecraft observed, to see how well they match up (SN: 11/11/17, p. 32).

4. Titan’s “magic islands” aren’t islands, or bubbles

Mysterious disappearing features in the lakes of Saturn’s moon Titan are caused by sunlight reflecting off giant waves, said planetary scientist Alexander Hayes of Cornell University.

SUN GLINT This infrared image taken by Cassini in 2014 shows a bright, mirrorlike reflection (yellow spot at upper left) in Kraken Mare, a northern sea on Saturn’s moon Titan. That reflection combined with radar data suggests that what were thought to be mysterious disappearing islands in the sea are actually tall waves.

JPL-CALTECH/NASA, UNIV. OF ARIZONA, UNIV. OF IDAHO

These features were named “magic islands” when they were first spotted in 2014. As recently as April 2017, planetary scientists thought they had the islands solved: They seemed to be the result of champagnelike bubbles of nitrogen burbling through the moon’s methane and ethane seas (SN Online: 4/18/17).

But Hayes presented newly analyzed data from August 2014, when Cassini looked at Kraken Mare, the moon’s largest northern sea, in radar and infrared wavelengths within two hours of each other. The radar images showed a magic island, and the infrared ones showed a peak in brightness at the same spot.

Because the observations were taken two hours apart, the island probably couldn’t have been due to bubbles, Hayes said — bubbles would pop or disperse too quickly. Instead, he thinks the brightening could be the glint of sunlight reflecting directly off of giant waves on the lake, like how the ocean ripples with gold at sunset. Simulations of Titan’s atmosphere suggest these waves could be raised by winds as slow as 0.5 meters per second, which would barely move a wind vane on Earth.

5. Enceladus’ plumes may brighten by the pull of another moon

Saturn’s tiny moon Enceladus has plumes that may be driven by nudges from another moon.

The spurts of liquid water were discovered in 2006. Over the next six years, scientists noticed that the plumes varied in brightness (a proxy for how much material is gushing from the moon) on a daily cycle, probably driven by Saturn’s different positions in Enceladus’ sky.

Then, in 2015 some researchers noted that the plumes’ overall brightness had been decreasing since the beginning of the Cassini mission.

One possible explanation was that the plumes changed with Saturn’s seasons. Another was that ice built up in the vents, clogging them and decreasing the flow. But looking at the full 13-year dataset, planetary scientist Francis Nimmo found that the plumes grow brighter in a regular cycle every four and 11 years. The pattern is too coherent to be explained by clogged vents, said Nimmo, of the University of California, Santa Cruz. Oddly, the plume grew brighter in 2017, so the seasonal explanation doesn’t fit either.

The variations could be explained by a neighboring moon, Dione. Every time Dione and Enceladus line up, their gravitational stress on each other could force Enceladus’ vents open a bit more, causing the plumes to grow brighter.

Unsolved enigmas

So far, analyzing data from Cassini hasn’t answered all of scientists’ questions. Is Enceladus the only moon with plumes? Dione showed signs of activity, too, but Cassini wasn’t able to confirm it. How thick is Enceladus’ ice sheet? Why are Titan’s smaller lakes full of clear, pure methane, when scientists expected the lakes to be clogged with hydrocarbon silt?

Even though the spacecraft is gone, it left decades’ worth of data to sift through in search of answers. “Cassini is going to keep on giving as long as we keep looking,” Hayes said.

By Lee Speigel

In 2005, astronaut Leroy Chiao was commander of the International Space Station for six and a half months. During a spacewalk with cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov, the two were installing navigation antennas. They were 230 miles above Earth, traveling at over 17,000 miles per hour, when something unusual caught Chiao’s eye.

“I saw some lights that seemed to be in a line and it was almost like an upside-down check mark, and I saw them fly by and thought it was awfully strange,” Chiao told The Huffington Post.

Chiao’s fellow spacewalker, Sharipov, hadn’t seen the lights because he was facing the opposite direction.

This experience, recreated in the above video (and still image below), launches “NASA’s Unexplained Files,” one of several programs presented as part of Science Channel’s week-long “Are We Alone?“ series, beginning March 2.

A down-to-Earth explanation is offered for Chiao’s sighting: the bright lights of a fishing boat hundreds of miles below him. But is that the only possible interpretation of what the astronaut saw?

It’s easy for many to have no doubt that he witnessed an intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft. But Chiao doesn’t believe there’s ever been any tangible evidence that someone else is visiting Earth or has done so in the past.

“I’m skeptical of claims that we’ve been visited by aliens from another planet or other dimension, but I don’t rule it out 100 percent. I have an open mind and I do believe there’s other life in the universe.

“If there is life out there that’s so much more advanced than we are and they know either how to travel great distances in short amounts of time, or they’re able to come from a parallel universe into ours, why don’t they just come and show themselves?”

“NASA’s Unexplained Files” episodes highlight possible out-of-this world UFOs either seen or photographed by astronauts over many years.

An alleged photographic piece of UFO evidence occurred on the 1972 Apollo 16 moon mission when astronauts returned to Earth with several film cannisters, one of which showed something intriguing above the lunar surface — something that looks very much like a “classic” flying saucer.

Watch this clip about the Apollo 16 object from ‘NASA’s Unexplained Files’:

Throughout the week, “Are We Alone?” targets both believers and skeptics with tantalizing presentations of:

“NASA’s Unexplained Files“ — exploring unusual discoveries and possible UFO sightings.

“Close Encounters“ — focusing on unsolved UFO stories and reports from around the world.

“Alien Planet Earths“ — zeroing in on the ongoing, exciting search for Earth’s twin planets that may harbor life.

“Through The Wormhole With Morgan Freeman“ — seeking answers to the question “Is God An Alien Concept?”

ANNOTATION: Astronaut Leroy Chiao contacted this writer to clarify the fishing boat theory about what he saw in 2005: “One minor point is that it wasn’t just one fishing boat, but a line of them strung out along the South American coast. That’s why it looked like five lights from the ISS.”

Big harpoon is 'solution to space junk'

Jonathan AmosScience correspondent@BBCAmos

Airbus is testing a big harpoon to snare rogue or redundant satellites and pull them out of the sky.

The 1m-long projectile would be attached, through a strong tether, to a chase spacecraft.

Once the target was captured and under control, the chase vehicle would then drag its prey down into the atmosphere to burn to destruction.

Airbus has been working on the concept for a number of years now, developing ever bigger systems.

It is a response to the growing problem of orbital junk - old pieces of hardware that continue to circle the globe and which now pose a collision threat to operational satellites.

• UK 'space drones' look to Proton ride
• Old satellites will need 'rapid disposal'
• Space junk mission prepares for launch

Image copyrightES

Something in the region of 20,000 items of 10cm or larger are currently being tracked.

The latest Airbus harpoon is being designed with the capability to capture one of the biggest rogue items of the lot - Europe's defunct Envisat Earth observation platform.

This 8-tonne behemoth died suddenly in orbit in 2012. "Envisat is the outlier," explained advanced project engineer Alastair Wayman.

"If we can design a harpoon that can cope with Envisat, then it should be able to cope with all other types of spacecraft including the many rocket upper-stages that remain in orbit."

The testing at the aerospace company’s facility in Stevenage, UK, involves firing the harpoon, using compressed air, into a panel that is representative of the kinds of material used to build satellite structures.

Typically, this takes the form of 3cm-thick, composite honeycomb panels that incorporate a lot of aluminium.

"The harpoon goes through these panels like a hot knife through butter," said Mr Wayman.

"Once the tip is inside, it has a set of barbs that open up and stop the harpoon from coming back out. We'd then de-tumble the satellite with a tether on the other end."

This is where harpoons should come into their own, over other methods of capture such as nets and robotic arms. A harpoon is relatively simple. You line up the target and shoot.

"Many of these targets will be tumbling and if you were to use a robotic arm, say, that involves a lot of quite complex motions to follow your target," Mr Wayman explained.

"Whereas, with the harpoon, all you have to do is sit a distance away, wait for the target to rotate underneath you, and at the right moment fire your harpoon. And because it's a really quick event, it takes out a lot of the complexity."

You still have to bring the tumbling satellite under control using thrusters on the chase vehicle - but computer simulations show this should be possible.

The European Space Agency, which is responsible for Envisat, is considering all options at the moment, and the demonstration missions that fly in the next few years will almost certainly go for easier, more cooperative targets first. Indeed, a miniature version of the Airbus harpoon is set to launch next month on a mission called RemoveDebris.

This demonstrator satellite, developed at the Surrey Space Centre, will carry its own piece of junk which it will release and then attempt to retrieve. It will trial a net, but will perform a harpoon test as well to further knowledge about how such systems will behave in the weightless environment of space.

For the big harpoon back in Stevenage, it is now ready to move to its next development stage. This will involve firing the projectile over a distance of 25m, the sort of separation over which the real flight model would have to work.

2 Weeks Before His Death, Stephen Hawking Predicted ‘The End Of The Universe’

According to a report by the Sunday Times, the world-renowned astrophysicists’ co-authored a mathematical study in which he and his colleagues sought to prove the multiverse theory, and how different universes exist out there.

In addition, he also predicted how the universe we currently live in would eventually fade to darkness as stars throughout the cosmos run out of energy.

His last scientific paper—titled ‘A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation’—is currently being reviewed by a leading scientific journal and is expected to be accepted for publication shortly.

A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation collects concepts from his theory of the lack of limits, which states that the universe expanded from a small point after the Big Bang.

As explained by the Sunday Times, this new proposal suggests that this great explosion was only one of an infinite number of explosions that occurred, each of which created its own universe.

In this context, Thomas Hertog, who collaborated with Hawking, explained that the work makes the multiverse easier to understand, by making it “a verifiable scientific framework.”

However, upon closer inspection, and as explained by follow-up articles published by Gizmodo and the Register, the study, which is yet to be peer-reviewed actually leans away from the multiverse theory, as the two scientists concluded; “we conjecture that the exit from eternal inflation does not produce an infinite fractal-like multiverse, but is finite and reasonably smooth”.

However, in the study, research shows that, if the correct mathematical tools are used, a space probe capable of discovering its existence could be sent. These mathematical tools are explored in the new study waiting to be peer-reviewed.

If this proposal of the British astrophysicist had succeeded while Hawking was still alive, Hertog assured that it would have allowed him to obtain the Nobel prize that “he had wanted for so long.”

“This was Stephen: to boldly go where Star Trek fears to tread,” said Hertog, professor of theoretical physics at KU Leuven University in Belgium.

“He has often been nominated for the Nobel and should have won it. Now he never can.”

However, this will not happen since the recognition is not delivered posthumously.

Meanwhile, the latest theory developed by the scientist is still being analyzed by specialists of the US scientific journal Physical Review Letters, who must give their approval before it is published.

A number of scientists around the world have said how Professor Hawking’s work may represent the breakthrough that cosmology needs, as it’s the first theory that may be verifiable through experiments.

Some 70,000 years ago, a rogue star duo whooshed by our solar system — and early humans probably saw it

BY MIHAI ANDREI

If you happened to be alive 70,000 years ago, you might have witnessed an extremely rare event: a duo of rogue stars passing relatively close to the Sun — close enough to gravitationally disrupt the comets and asteroids in the outskirts of the solar system.

In a time when humans were just leaving Africa and Neanderthals were still around, two small reddish stars were approaching our solar system. We now call them Scholz’s star, after the astronomer who discovered them (Ralf-Dieter Scholz). The system is currently some 20 light-years away from Earth, but 70,000 years ago, it was much closer. A team of astronomers now analyzed the orbit of nearly 340 objects in the solar system with hyperbolic orbits (very open, not quite typical elliptical), finding that the trajectory of some of them was influenced by Scholtz’s star. They report that some comets and asteroids in the Oort Cloud — the outer limit of our solar system — were disrupted by the passing of the star.

“Using numerical simulations we have calculated the radiants or positions in the sky from which all these hyperbolic objects seem to come,” explains Carlos de la Fuente Marcos, who together with the other coauthors publishes the results in the MNRAS Letters journal.

“In principle,” he adds, “one would expect those positions to be evenly distributed in the sky, particularly if these objects come from the Oort cloud; however, what we find is very different: a statistically significant accumulation of radiants. The pronounced over-density appears projected in the direction of the constellation of Gemini, which fits the close encounter with Scholz´s star.”

Despite the name, Scholz’s star is actually a binary system consisting of a red dwarf and brown dwarf, with the entire system having just 0.15 solar masses. Because it was so small, it didn’t disturb all the hyperbolic objects in the solar system. Authors explain that the disturbance might also just be a coincidence, completely unrelated to Schultz’s star — but since both the timing and the location of the disturbance fit so well, it’s highly unlikely.

Scholtz’s star passed approximately 52,000 astronomical units away from the Sun (1 astronomical unit is equivalent to the distance between the Earth and the Sun) — the equivalent of 0.82 lightyears. It’s estimated that a star passes through the Oort Cloud every 100,000 years. However, an approach closer than 50,000 astronomical units only happens every 9 million years, according to current models.

The results have been published in two papers:

Surreal, six-inch mummy with an elongated skull finally described by scientists

 BY MIHAI ANDREI

It’s the strangest human mummy you’ll likely ever see, and it’s not an alien.

The alien-like mummified specimen from Atacama region of Chile.

In 2003, researchers found an incredibly bizarre mummy in Chile. Measuring a mere 6 inches, with an extremely elongated skull and several extreme abnormalities, it only remotely looked human. The questions came in fast, and they poured in: what is? Is it human — and if it is human, why does it look so strange?  The specimen was auctioned off to a Spanish businessman which delayed proper studies but now, results from the first comprehensive analysis are finally in.

“This was an unusual specimen with some fairly extraordinary claims put forward. It would be an example of how to use modern science to answer the question what is it?” says senior author Garry Nolan from Stanford University.

Not an alien

Thankfully, Ata, as the skeleton was named (short for Atacama), contains some high-quality DNA which researchers were able to sequence. They compared Ata’s DNA with human and non-human primate reference genomes, including chimpanzee and rhesus macaque. To the chagrin of UFO hunters, researchers learned that Ata is very much human and even more — she has Chilean ancestry.

DNA results will certainly disappoint UFO conspiracists, but Ata is very much human — although she’s incredibly small and suffers from several malformations.

Although researchers believed Ata was a few years old, Nolan now believes she was either stillborn or only lived for a few days. It’s unclear exactly when Ata lived, though the skeleton seems to be at least several decades old — probably some 40 years.

Next, researchers moved on to look for more clues regarding Ata’s extremely short stature and unusual features, which aside from the obvious skull malformation, include an abnormal rib count and premature bone age. They found multiple mutations in genes associated with diseases such as dwarfism, scoliosis, and musculoskeletal abnormalities. Surprisingly, all these malformations can be explained with a relatively short list of gene mutations in genes associated with bone development, Nolan says.

However, Ata is more than just an interesting specimen. Since she had the grave misfortune of suffering such severe abnormalities, she can teach us quite a bit about how the gene mutations can affect the human body.

“This is a great example of how studying ancient samples can teach us how to analyze modern day medical samples” says co-author Atul Butte, from the UCSF.

Aside from her skeletal malformations, Ata also probably suffered from something called congenital diaphragmatic hernia — a fairly common, but also life-threatening condition where a baby’s diaphragm doesn’t form correctly. Nolan told The Guardian:

“She was so badly malformed as to be unable to feed. In her condition, she would have ended up in the neonatal ICU, but given where the specimen was found, such things were simply not available,” he said.

“While this started as a story about aliens, and went international, it’s really a story of a human tragedy. A woman had a malformed baby, it was preserved in a manner and then ‘hocked’ or sold as a strange artefact. It turns out to be human, with a fascinating genetic story from which we might learn something important to help others. May she rest in peace.”

My wife and I have made watching Saturday Night Live a ritual in our home. Say what you will about the quality of SNL today in relation to the ‘good old days,’ the show still has its finger on the pulse of American culture. As we sat on our couch this last Saturday night, beers in hand, host Bill Hader, and the SNL cast put on a sketch about alien abduction. My wife and I realized at that moment, when our eyes met, our perception of anything related to the subject of aliens or UFOs was no longer passive, and that SNL was playing a role in establishing this active participation.

Neither my wife nor I have ever had a strange paranormal experience. We have never seen a UFO, let alone been aboard one. We have never seen aliens or ghosts or Bigfoot. My personal and scholarly interest is that of the UFO community, the individuals who form the subcultural collective which engages with the UFO phenomenon and attached discourse. My wife, who has stood by me by some curious miracle, quietly, and with great patience, tolerates my Ufological interests. Yet, by association alone, or her polite way of listening to me talk about the latest UFO scandal or phone call I had to make to a UFO witness, the cultural impact of UFOs seems to have rubbed off on her.

When Roger, the Reiki healer, played by Bill Hader, explains why a tourist couple visiting Sedona should not hike up to the top of Spirit Rock because of extraterrestrial visitors, we both sat quietly through the entire sketch. While the sketch itself was a bit of a dud, compared to Kate McKinnon’s internet-breaking alien abduction sketch with Ryan Gosling, we both had the exact same question on our minds, but were being polite and refrained from hitting ‘Pause’ on the PVR.

Sedona, Arizona

You can view Hader’s sketch here.

Hader’s Roger, playing to a fairly common Ufological paradigm, goes on to explain that he often climbs to the top of the mountain to meditate and connect with his spirit and body. It all went south one night, however, when “she revealed herself…an alien lady with a head shaped like Mr. Peanut.” The alien “initiates intercourse…because they needed DNA for their little babies.”

However, due to the alien’s unfamiliarity with human anatomy, she flipped Roger over, “spread [his] cakes and blasted [his] Raisinette with a turkey baster.” Roger awakes in his bedroom after the experience with his pants on backwards, and on his pillow is a mint with a little note that read, “Great Job!” When the tourist couple inquires as to why they probed him, obviously pointing out the whole anatomy issue, Roger responds by saying, “I guess they had to figure out the lay of the land.” The sketch continues on with strange lights hovering from above, one of the SNL cast being beamed up to a UFO, and Roger getting to hold his new alien baby.

Mysterious lights in the sky, or just some clever photography?

When the sketch concluded, I managed to speak first, “Is there more UFO stuff on TV, or are we just noticing it more?”

My wife responded with,

“I think we just notice it more. We are prone to noticing it more because it is now a part of our lives; I notice it more. When people talk about UFOs or aliens or something paranormal, I usually stop and listen. I’m tuned into it more, as if it is starting to matter to me. This is your fault.”

Saturday Night Live is a cultural institution. As one journalist put it,

“with its weekly live broadcasts, the show can swiftly distill and cement public perceptions of current events.”

From a pop culture standpoint, it still has significant cachet no matter how “good” or “bad” the sketches or cast are. In regard to its coverage of UFOs and aliens, the show usually sticks to the usual and simple fare, however, it does make some interesting ideological claims. Furthermore, it puts the UFO debate into the pop culture realm, but in an approachable way.

Four years ago, Hader was in a sketch featuring actor Jon Hamm in which he was an alien poorly disguised as a sports announcer named Greg. The sketch featured Greg ‘infecting’ various others and turning them into aliens in order to invade the planet.

I previously mentioned the famous Kate McKinnon and Ryan Gosling sketch, that aired on December 5^th, 2015, which involves three alien abductees being interviewed by Pentagon staffers concerning their experiences. On September 30^th, 2017, Gosling returned to SNL to reprise his role with McKinnon to be interviewed again by Pentagon staff due to the lot of them being abducted a second time. Coincidently, the famous New York Times article concerning a secret Pentagon program which looked into “advanced aerial threats,” in other words, UFOs, was published on December 16^th of the same year.

It seems that the writers of SNL sketches do play to the conspiracy paradigm present in UFO discourse. The interviewers in both sketches are NSA agents and have been tasked with getting to the bottom of “three confirmed cases” of alien abduction. Furthermore, the abductees in both sketches have vastly different experiences. Ryan Gosling and Cecily Strong’s characters both enjoy peacefully divine interactions with the beautiful aliens bathed in light, while McKinnon’s character is on a different part of the ship, the lower decks perhaps, where little alien grays poke and prod at her, steal her pants, and stare at her while she pees in a bowl. As McKinnon puts it, she didn’t think she was “dealing with the top brass.” This is another common experiencer narrative; the stark difference between those who are contacted for some prophetic or higher purpose, and those who experience horrifying and frightening abductions.

They’re here…

This most recent alien sketch involving Hader plays upon the alien-human hybrid plot, which arguably gained great fame when Dr. David Jacobs published his book, The Threat, in 1997. While stories of breeding programs and the harvesting human ovum and sperm existed in the 1960’s, Jacob’s work showcased many individuals who claim to have taken part in such a program, and were continuously ‘re-abducted’ to see, hold and bond with their hybrid children, or to undergo more sexual acts.

More recently, the story of David Huggins hit the news cycle in mid-2017. Huggins claims to have engaged in sexual intercourse with a female extraterrestrial for the purpose of having a hybrid child, and a recently released documentary entitled Love and Saucers tells his story.

While many within the UFO community may get upset with SNL for turning these often frightening and heartbreaking experiences into a joke, the purpose of the show is to point to our collective cultural landscape and make fun of it. When SNL targets White House staff or some current cultural issue, we take it for granted. It is truly a right of passage for every American President to have one of the SNL cast to play him or her (soon hopefully). George W. Bush had Will Ferrel, Barack Obama had Fred Armison and Jay Pharoah, and Donald Trump has Alec Baldwin. Before every popular cultural event such as the Super Bowl, The Academy Awards, and St. Patrick’s Day, the cast and writers of SNL put it through the ringer, and ensure we see the humor in our common traditions, ideologies, paradigms, and assumed truths. The purpose of parody and farce is to satirize, to allow us to giggle at something truthful and even scary.

I am not suggesting that Saturday Night Live is some Ufological savior. Nor am I suggesting that the butt of their jokes, the UFO community and the countless people who have had strange paranormal experiences, should relax and laugh a little. I think we need to appreciate that, for better or worse, we are becoming more comfortable with the realization that the “truths” we used to hold dear are beginning to shift and change. If the show is a cultural mirror, a silly twisted mirror, but a mirror none the less, with every UFO related sketch, our reflection becomes a little more otherworldly. With every UFO sketch that we laugh at, it is also informing the broader popular culture that UFO phenomenon is something worth talking about. Perhaps SNL is unknowingly normalizing the UFO phenomenon; if we laugh about it, we can also talk about it.

Perhaps the more we engage with the UFO phenomenon, the more it seems to show up in our regular lives on Saturday nights. Regardless of whether you are a fan of the show or not, SNL continues to question and poke fun at UFOs and aliens. In some way, it normalizes the strange in its various sketches and turns UFOs and the related phenomenon into approachable.

Raadsel opgelost: vreemde mini-mummie is dan toch geen alien - HLN.be

Bron: ANP

De ontdekking in een verlaten, gortdroog en heet oord in de Chileense Atacama-woestijn baarde in 2003 wereldwijd opzien. Er werd zelfs een documentaire gewijd aan het alientje, dat Ata werd gedoopt naar de vindplaats. De film is nu definitief sciencefiction. In werkelijkheid had de kleine gemuteerde meid, die vermoedelijk een jaar of veertig geleden veel te vroeg werd geboren, een reeks genetische afwijkingen, die onder meer leidden tot misvorming van de schedel.

‘Schreeuwende’ mummie is al jaren een raadsel, nu zijn archeologen een stapje dichter bij de waarheid

Californische wetenschappers hebben dat in het vakblad Genome Research beschreven. Van veel van de aangetoonde gendefecten was bekend dat ze een rol speelden bij dwerggroei, verkromming van de ruggengraat (scoliose) en deformatie van spieren en botten. Andere geconstateerde mutaties waren wel in verband gebracht met het ontstaan van bepaalde ziektebeelden maar nog niet met dit soort ontwikkelingsstoornissen.

Bij het eerste onderzoek viel meteen op dat Ata tien in plaats van twaalf paar ribben had en dat sommige skeletdelen van een zes- of zevenjarig kind leken. Zou het kunnen dat zij ondanks alle misvormingen zo lang heeft geleefd? Nee, zeggen de specialisten dankzij het uit een rib gehaald erfelijk materiaal. Ata was een foetus en leed aan een zeldzame ziekte die botten snel doet verouderen.

BEDACHT WERNER VON BRAUN ELON MUSH ? ( VIDEO )

Toen de mensen eindelijk aankwamen op Mars met een tiental grote raketten, bleek dat er zich al een ondergrondse beschaving op de planeet bevond. 

De regering van de Marsbewoners werd gevormd door tien verschillende mannen die een leider hadden gekozen die bekenstond als Elon. 

We hebben ondertussen diverse artikelen gepubliceerd over het fenomeen Elon Musk. De held, de stripfiguur die alles kan en de meest onvoorstelbare capriolen uithaalt in de ruimte zoals het lanceren van een Tesla auto.

Niet zo vreemd natuurlijk dat er snel stemmen opgingen die zeiden dat Elon Musk niet een bepaald iemand is, maar meer een instituut, waarbij het karakter Musk wordt vertolkt door diverse acteurs. 

Zo schreven wij in een eerder artikel:

De conclusie van Tim Dunlop is dan ook als volgt:

Net zoals Harry Potter of Buffy The Vampire Slayer het ons mogelijk maken om de verschrikkingen van de moderne wereld onder ogen te zien door alles meer behapbaar en te overwinnen te maken, zo biedt Elon Musk ons een blik op de toekomst waar technologie niet al onze banen vernietigt, waar het kapitalisme niet alleen maar onze omgeving kapotmaakt en waar niet slechts zes mensen 99 procent van 's werelds rijkdommen beheren. Door de visie van "Musk" kunnen wij geloven dat ondanks dat alle voorgaande dingen gebeuren, we in ieder geval verder kunnen door te gaan wonen op Mars en ons te vermengen met robots.

Volgens voornoemde Tim Dunlop is de naam Elon Musk bedacht door een striptekenaar, maar nu komen er aanwijzingen boven tafel dat die naam misschien al veel eerder is bedacht. 

En dan komen we uit bij de beruchte Duitse raketgeleerde en Nazi, Dr. Wernher von Braun. Deze man was nauw betrokken bij de oprichting van het Amerikaanse NASA. Hetzelfde NASA dat recentelijk in samenwerking met Musk een raket lanceerde die tevens een Tesla auto met zich meedroeg. Dit instituut is louter en alleen in het leven geroepen om de mensheid te misleiden zoals we schreven in een eerder artikel: 

Sinds de oprichting van NASA in 1958 is er alles aan gedaan om de occulte oorsprong van dit instituut voor het publiek verborgen te houden. De oorsprong die direct leidt naar wat men wel het “slechtste mens ooit” op aarde noemt, Alistair Crowley. 

De hoogste rangen binnen NASA werden gedomineerd door leden van de geheime genootschappen zoals de Vrijmetselaars en voormalige Nazi’s, waarvan de meest bekende Wernher von Braun is. 

Dan is duidelijk dat je op iedere persconferentie wordt voorgelogen, dat er allang een geheime ruimtevloot bestaat, dat er mensen op Mars wonen en dat buitenaardsen overeenkomsten hebben gesloten met overheden. 

Dat alles wat NASA aan het grote publiek vertelt, gebaseerd is op leugens en dat ze met de technologie zoals ze die tonen aan de buitenwereld nog niet eens de Van Allen Gordel kunnen passeren met bemande ruimtevluchten.

Wat niet erg bekend is bij het grote publiek is dat Wernher von Braun in 1949 een roman schreef met de titel: Project Mars: A Technical Tale.

Het is een roman die speelt in de jaren tachtig waarbij de mens voor het eerst een poging doet om de planeet Mars te koloniseren. De reis wordt gemaakt met tien grote ruimteschepen en was alleen mogelijk door een verregaande internationale samenwerking. In die tijd is de Derde Wereldoorlog al achter de rug en bestaat er één wereldregering die dit alles mogelijk maakt. De grote schepen bevonden zich in een omloopbaan om de aarde en er waren meer dan 1.000 vluchten nodig vanaf de aarde om deze voor te bereiden en te bevoorraden voor de lange reis naar Mars.

Echter, wanneer de menselijke expeditie uiteindelijk aankomt op Mars, ontdekken ze dat er daar al een vreedzame beschaving woont, niet aan de oppervlakte van de planeet, maar ondergronds. 

Er komt echter iets bijzonders naar voren wanneer het boek rond hoofdstuk 24 beschrijft wie er de leiding heeft over de beschaving op Mars. 

De regering bestaat feitelijk uit 10 mannen en de door hen gekozen leider werd de Elon genoemd. Verder zijn er twee volksvertegenwoordigingen die de wetgeving mogelijk maken die door de Elon en zijn kabinet moeten worden uitgevoerd.

De vraag is dan ook: hoe komt een Wernher von Braun in 1948/49 aan de bijzondere naam Elon? Het is nu niet bepaald een veel voorkomende naam en de oorsprong van die naam is Joods en betekent iets als: een stevige eik. Ook in Afrika komt die naam af en toe voor en daar betekent het: God houdt van mij.

Heeft Wernher von Braun die naam verzonnen of was het ook al in die dagen onderdeel van de plannen van de geheime ruimtevloot en wist Von Braun dat die naam Elon later zou worden gebruikt voor een fictief karakter die te maken krijgt met het namens de mensheid mogelijk maken om naar Mars te reizen.

De naam lijkt te bijzonder om zomaar op toevalligheid te berusten, mede omdat we dus nu te maken hebben met een Elon Musk.

Nu wordt misschien gesuggereerd dat Elon Musk is vernoemd naar de fictieve leider van de planeet Mars omdat zijn ouders het boek hadden gelezen van Von Braun. Ook die vlieger gaat niet op, want nadat hij het boek had geschreven wilde niet één uitgever in Amerika zich daaraan wagen en is het pas jaren na de dood van Von Braun dat het boek in 2006 uiteindelijk werd uitgegeven. Jaren nadat Elon Musk was geboren. 

Von Braun wist heel veel over wat er zich allemaal in de achtergrond afspeelde. Daarom is het zo goed als zeker dat hij wist dat er in latere jaren een echt Mars project zou ontstaan en dat de naam Elon daar een belangrijke rol zou spelen. Wat in dat geval nogmaals een bevestiging is dat Elon Musk niet een echt iemand is, maar een fictief karakter dat door een aantal verschillende acteurs wordt gespeeld.

In dat licht is de samenwerking met overheidsinstelling NASA ook niet vreemd, terwijl eerder dit een privé aangelegenheid zou zijn. In onze ogen is dit laatste wederom bedoeld om een bepaalde indruk te wekken, alsof (rijke) privé personen dit soort initiatieven ongestoord zouden kunnen ontplooien. Alle particuliere initiatieven mislukken om uiteenlopende redenen en pas als Elon samenwerkt met overheidsinstelling NASA mag het ineens wel een succes zijn.

Wernher Von Braun is verder natuurlijk ook bekend geworden door de bekentenissen die hij deed tegenover Dr. Carol Rosin, waarover wij eerder schreven:

Ongeveer drie jaar voor zijn dood kwam hij in aanraking met Dr. Carol Rosin. Misschien kreeg hij aan het eind van zijn leven iets van wroeging, want haar vertelde hij een groot aantal geheimen. Om de gigantische kosten en de mega verdiensten voor de ruimtewapensystemen enigszins te rechtvaardigen en de agenda voor de New World Order te promoten, zouden er kunstmatige vijanden worden gecreëerd. 

Eerst zou dat Rusland zijn. Daarna de terroristen. Vervolgens de landen in het Midden-Oosten. Dan de laatste troefkaart: Een bedreiging uit de ruimte.

Hier een korte Nederlands ondertitelde video van Carol Rosin waarin zij haar verhaal vertelt:

GOUDKLEURIGE UFO'S WAARGENOMEN BIJ SEDONA  ( VIDEO )

De plaats Sedona in de Amerikaanse staat Arizona heeft een bijzondere reputatie omdat daar geregeld vreemde dingen gebeuren. 

Zo schijnen er diverse vortexen te zijn en is het ook een plek waar de scheidingen tussen dimensies lijken te verdwijnen. 

Sedona in de staat Arizona staat bekend als een soort magische plek waar jaarlijks duizenden toeristen naartoe komen om ook iets mee te krijgen van de aparte sfeer daar.

Ongeveer een maand geleden schreven wij een artikel over een man die er klaarblijkelijk in was geslaagd om in Sedona een poort naar een andere dimensie te openen om daarna spoorloos te verdwijnen. Voor zover wij kunnen nagaan is de man tot op dit moment nog steeds spoorloos en vermoeden sommigen dan ook dat hij erin is geslaagd om een andere dimensie te bereiken, maar niet in staat om terug te keren.

De volgende waarneming is afkomstig van Mufon en staat daar geregistreerd onder nummer 90899.

Afgelopen weekend was een man op bezoek in Sedona en zit een hapje te eten in Sinuaga Plaza aldaar, op de tweede verdieping, vanwaar hij een mooi uitzicht heeft over de bergen.

Hij besluit enkele foto's te nemen en wanneer hij later thuiskomt en de foto's bekijkt, dan ontdekt hij enkele goudkleurige UFO's op zijn foto's.

De foto's die hij maakte zien er als volgt uit:

Wanneer je goed kijkt op de eerste foto, dan zie je daar in de wolken ook nog een UFO.

Volgens ufoloog Scott Waring is er grote kans dat er zich onder de bergen bij Sedona ondergrondse buitenaardse bases bevinden.

Volgens één van zijn lezers moet er nog ergens een schip verborgen zijn in de wolken:

There's a triangle ship cloaked right above the peak on the mountain.

Nu zien we niet iedere dag goudkleurige UFO's, maar een plek waar ze wel regelmatig worden waargenomen is het bij het ISS ruimtestation.

Hierna een deel uit een eerder artikel uit 2014 waar ook de gouden UFO prominent in beeld komt:

Het lijkt dat de gouden UFO die we dit jaar al verschillende malen zijn tegen gekomen, kind aan huis is bij het ISS. 

Terwijl de censuurjongens bij NASA koffiepauze hadden en vergaten de camera uit te zetten, verscheen op 29 augustus wederom de gouden UFO in beeld.

Je ziet de UFO hangen achter de zonnepanelen van het ISS ruimtestation. Grote vraag is natuurlijk of hij van buitenaardse afkomst is of toebehoort aan de geheime ruimtevloot van de Bilderbergers. 

Wij hopen op het eerste en ook op dat er misschien zo langzamerhand wat buitenaardse beschavingen zijn die zich zodanig zorgen maken over de psychopaten die op onze aarde aan de touwtjes trekken, dat ingrijpen geoorloofd wordt.

Want een beetje hulp van andere beschavingen om de zaak weer goed op de rit te krijgen, lijkt gezien de huidige wereldsituatie geen overbodige luxe.

Eerst een deel uit het artikel dat wij in januari van dit jaar schreven: 

Scott Waring van Ufo Sightings Daily brengt een groot deel van zijn leven door met het publiceren over en het zoeken naar UFO’s en andere vreemde onverklaarbare zaken, vaak gerelateerd aan NASA's archieven. Zo komt hij nu met het volgende verhaal: 

"Ik was aan het kijken naar het ISS en luisterde naar de conversatie om erachter te komen waar ze het over hadden. Terwijl ik aan het luisteren was zag ik deze gouden bol die stil hing op ongeveer twee meter afstand van het ISS"

"Ik bleef kijken en zag dat de zonnenpanelen achter de UFO bewogen en ik kon duidelijk zien dat de UFO zich tussen de panelen en de camera bevond. Toen de zonnenpanelen zich langzaam weg van de UFO bewogen werd deze ineens duidelijker zichtbaar tegen de blauwe achtergrond".

"Toen werd het beeld door NASA ineens op volledig blauw gezet. Hadden ook zij de UFO gezien en besloten daarom het scherm op blauw te zetten? Ik denk het wel. Ik heb de onderstaande video opgenomen en ik sta ervoor in dat deze echt is".

En nu, enkele dagen geleden, op 15 augustus werd de volgende opname gemaakt nabij het ISS:

Wat deze UFO’s te zoeken hebben bij het ISS ruimtestation is nog steeds niet duidelijk. Naast deze bijzondere gouden exemplaren worden er bijna dagelijks ook allerlei andere soorten UFO’s waargenomen. 

Ondanks dat dit feit nu zelfs door mainstreammedia wordt gerapporteerd, is er nog steeds geen enkele reactie van NASA.

Glowing Triangular UFO photographed by an airplane passenger over Texas, March 2018, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: March 2018
Location of sighting: Over Texas, USA
Source: MUFON #90852

This triangle UFO was seen by a person on a passenger jet over Texas this week. The UFO is glowing, probably due to the angle of the setting sun and the plane. I do not believe that people on the ground could see this craft. Notice the clouds hide 90% of it below. The shape of the triangle and the fact its trying to hide itself is good evidence its real. Excellent video by UFOmania of Youtube. 
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

A plane passenger was taking pictures of the rising sun at 6:30 am, at the time he did not notice the UFO, but on his way home he noticed in the photos that strange, flaming-looking triangular UFO.

Unidentified Flying Objects in Space

The following footage is a compilation of unidentified flying objects in space captured by the International Space Station camera this year 2018.

Undoubtedly, different objects can be classified as satellites, meteors, space debris or rocket launches but there are a number of objects traveling through space that certainly fall outside these categories.

Amazing UFO sighting captured over Las Vegas!

Check out this remake of a very good sighting that happened over Las Vegas, Nevada back in 2015!

Witness report:

 I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of July 16, 2015. I had to remake this amazing video. Watch the UFOs and how they move and you will understand that they cannot possibly be anything conventional. The video begins with them sped up by four times so that you can see how unusual they are and then watch it at actual speed. I spent more than a year skywatching before I ever had any idea at all that these were in the northern sky and that they existed. They are doing this in restricted airspace so it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to assume that they might be ours. If they aren’t ours then whose are they, where are they from and why are they allowed to do this?

Amazing daytime UFO over Marco Island, Florida 17-Mar-2018

Check out this footage of a cigar-shaped UFO flying over the sky above Marco Island in Florida. This was filmed on 17th March 2018.

Witness report: 

To aerial devices traveling towards one another that seemed rather large to me and did not look like anything that I had seen before and struck me odd. I am very observant and detailed I am a firefighter and this is nothing that I have seen before.
I was outside throwing the football with my two young boys and noticed two vessels in the sky traveling towards one another. It struck me odd, so much that I stopped throwing the football and took a closer look and realize that these objects were very far away but really really large. And they were traveling towards one another at a very close distance apart from where I was standing it looked as though it might be a close call kind of thing. I did not think it was a large aircraft or drone or anything that I’ve seen before. It look like an (Advil with lights on the side but white & lights were yellow and orange.) normally Aircrafts don’t do that, fly directly forwards each other. The larger of the two UFOs were traveling north and the smaller of the two was traveling south. The one traveling south was leaving trails. And I lost track of the one traveling north and they both basically disappeared. Both of my boys and my ex-wife thought that it was very odd and that I was not making a big deal of nothing. After posting on Facebook my fire chief told me that I should contact you folks and let you see the videos and pictures. I’m just curious what it was? When you see the video you will be able to judge for yourself that it just seems so far away and to be so large in the sky it did not seem right.
