Homeowners should know that even a small crack in the ceiling, wall or floor is a sign that something bad is happening and shouldn’t be ignored. Residents of Kenya and African countries in the same longitude should have felt the same way when a crack formed across the Mai Mahiu-Narok road near Nairobi, but they didn’t seem too concerned … until geologists pointed out that the crack formed in the aptly-named Rift Valley where two active tectonic plates meet and scrape against each other for 3,000 km (1864 miles). Talk about a bad sign! How much plaster do you need to fill a 3,000 km crack?

The Kenyan news source Standard Digital reported that the first crack appeared on March 14th as rain washed away a one kilometer stretch of the road and flash floods killed at least one person. While rain and floods are common in the area, this relatively little crack was not. It was a sign that something was happening underneath it in Suswa, a shield volcano made by lava that flows in a river out of a volcano rather than from an eruption. By March 20th, the crack was 50 feet (15.5 km) wide, 50 feet deep and a number of miles long … and getting longer and wider by the day.

Worried yet? This is obviously more than a road problem that can be fixed by the local pothole crews working overtime. Geologists are looking closely at the movements of the African plate, which covers most of the continent, and the Somali plate, a minor plate which covers about half of the East coast of Africa, from the Gulf of Aden, between Somalia and Yemen, south to Durban, South Africa. Where the plates meet is called the East African Rift, and the Rift Valley where the crack opened is part of the eastern branch of the East African Rift known as the Gregory Rift (named for British geologist John Walter Gregory who explored the rift in 1892-93 and 1919).

Fossils of early hominins have been discovered in the Gregory Rift, but what concerns geologists at the moment is that the rift is on the Kenyan Dome, a geographic uprising formed by the interactions of the African, Somalian and Arabian plates – the Arabian covers the Arabian peninsula and has been moving northward to mash into the Eurasian Plate. That pulling-away is also impacting the East African Rift. The entire collection of rifts are considered to be active and moving because the magma plume beneath them is hotter than the average plume.

Now are you worried? The Kenyan media source Daily Nationinterviewed geologist David Ahede, who said the Somali plate is moving away from the African plate at a rate of 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) per year – a big gap in geological terms. He blames it all on the Suswa volcano, which is also active. All of that movement of plates away from each other causes earthquakes, which is what ultimately caused the Mai Mahiu-Narok road crack and its continual spreading north and south. This is the second time in five years that a crack has opened up at the same location in the Rift Valley.

Is the east coast of Africa going to break off into the Indian Ocean? Yes … eventually. Residents of Rift Valley have time to sell their homes before the property values – like their countries – plummet. The split is expected to be complete around 50 million years from now. However, the seismic and plate tectonic activity is expected to increase on a smaller scale, causing major cracks that can cause major accidents, landslides, flooding and other natural disasters.

For what it will look like when all of the plates break, think giant bull in continent-sized china cabinet.

NASA Scientists Say Alien Life May Exist in the Acid Clouds of Venus

Sequoyah Kennedy

Earth’s closest neighbor is about as close to a planetary evil twin as you can get. While very similar to Earth in terms of size, weight, and gravity, Venus—ironically named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty—is a blasted hellscape of extreme temperatures, crushing atmospheric pressure, and swirling clouds of sulfuric acid. Temperatures at the Venusian surface can be as high as 860 degrees Fahrenheit and the weight of that acid choked atmosphere is 90 times heavier than Earth. That’s the equivalent pressure of being 2970 feet under the ocean. Despite these unfortunate characteristics, a paper published in the journal Astrobiology on March 30, 2018 by a team of NASA scientists says this deadly nightmare planet might be our best chance of finding extraterrestrial life—and we may have found it already.

While the idea of life on Venus is not new by any means, the recently published paper lays out a new argument based on new discoveries both on Venus and here on Earth. Sanjay Limaye, the lead author of the paper and, noticed that bacteria on earth can form light-absorbing colonies that share properties with unexplained “dark patches” in the clouds of Venus. These dark patches have been shown, through spectroscopic observation, to be composed of sulfuric acid and some “unknown particles.”

Life on Venus might resemble algae blooms like the one shown here.

Limaye and the other authors of the paper argue that these mysterious and unidentified particles could be bacterial life akin to an algae bloom that can survive the punishing atmosphere of the solar system’s hottest planet. Limaye explains:

Venus shows some episodic dark, sulfuric rich patches, with contrasts up to 30–40 percent in the ultraviolet, and muted in longer wavelengths. These patches persist for days, changing their shape and contrasts continuously and appear to be scale dependent.

Strangely, the changing dark patches in Venus’ atmosphere share the same dimensions as some bacteria on Earth. The problem is the instruments examining Venus aren’t capable of distinguishing between organic and inorganic materials.

As far as chances for finding extraterrestrial life go, this one isn’t bad. Some models of Venus’ history suggest that Venus could have held a large amount of liquid water for as long as one billion years, which would have been a superb jumping off point for life to evolve and adapt to the changing environment. Recently, scientists have discovered a whole slew of bacteria and viruses on Earth that can survive at extreme temperatures and pressures, including some that make their homes in sulfuric acid.

Venus and earth share many similarities, and Venus may have even had liquid water long ago.

To test this idea, however, we would need to actually send a craft to the Venus surface. Limaye hopes that NASA will send a VAMP (Venus Atmospheric Maneuverable Platform), a plane-blimp hybrid that could study the middle atmosphere of Venus for up to a year to study the planet’s atmosphere and hopefully confirm his suspicions.

Currently, NASA is discussion possible collaboration in the Russian Venera-D mission, which will send an orbiter, lander, surface station and maneuverable aerial platform to Venus sometime next decade.

Strange greenish UFO hovers in the sky over Lar Mirada, California

A strange greenish disk-like object has been spotted while hovering in the sky over Mirada, California on March 30, 2018. 

The footage shows a fascinating object that moves slowly from the right to the left. 

Since it clearly flies behind certain objects, like a street light; we may assume that it is not a reflection of the camera but is it a UFO or is it something that can be explained.

Submerged pyramids off Yonaguni Island

Written by Luca Praderio

In the mid-80s, off southern Yonaguni, in Japan, some divers found amazing underwater stone structures which looked like stairs or balconies. Scientist like marine geologist Masaaki Kimura think these “pyramids” are man-made and that date back to thousand of years ago.

Take two robots and call me in the morning.

That may well be a legitimate prescription for future medical patients, thanks to a new kind of radically miniaturized soft robot that can be swallowed, injected, or inserted under the skin. The robot can then move around inside the body to target specific tissues or deliver precise doses of medicine.

Researchers with Germany's Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems unveiled last week details of the tiny robot in a paper published in the journal Nature. Unofficially dubbed the millirobot, it's a flexible, fabric-like robot that can walk, swim, and even carry cargo, despite having no mechanical elements or batteries.

The secret is magnetism. The millirobot, which resembles a very small rectangle of paper about four millimeters in length, is made of an elastic polymer threaded through with magnetic particles. Using existing magnetic-resonance technology, such as an ultrasound machine, doctors can control the movement of the bot inside the human body.

That means the robot can potentially be deployed anywhere that physicians need to deliver a particular drug or other medical material — in the digestive tract, say, or even within the blood stream.

Emailing from the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart, Germany, lead author Metin Sitti said the tiny soft robot can be used in different ways depending on where it's needed inside the body for drug delivery or other therapeutic use.

“In the case of digestive or urinary systems, where the current robot could get in with its current size, the robot would be swallowed,” Sitti told Seeker. “For internal organ applications, we would deploy the robot through a small incision, like in the case of laparoscopy. In vascular system applications, we could inject it omto the blood vessels.”

While other ingestible robots have been developed, the millirobot has several advantages over other techniques, according to the research team. Most importantly, the robot is very versatile in its modes of locomotion. Thanks to its biologically inspired design, the millirobot can easily transition from swimming in a liquid to scooting over a solid surface.

“We looked at the physical mechanism of locomotion of soft-bodied caterpillars and jellyfishes and took inspiration from them,” Sitti said. “The result is that our millirobot is a mix of small-scale soft-bodied animals, such as a beetle larva, a caterpillar, a spermatozoid, and a jellyfish.”

• RELATED: New and Improved RoboBee Flies, Dives, Swims, Then Flies Again

Thanks to its biomimetic design, the millirobot has multiple ways to get around, Sitti said. In a video released with the research publication the millirobot is shown inching along like a worm, swimming like a manta ray, and carrying cargo by encircling small objects then rolling them into place.

“After the robot is deployed inside the body, it can be navigated using seven different locomotion methods to reach to the taret disease area,” Sitti said. “Then, the robot can deliver drug locally in a controlled dose by using its shape-change control. This can remove possible side effects that some drugs could have and can also improve the drug delivery efficiency and amount control.”

Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems

Sitti and his research team have further plans for the millirobot, including possible cancer treatment options and a novel cauterization technique.

“As another medical use very soon, we could heat the robot in the target location remotely — using electromagnetic waves — and the heated robot could stop bleeding in a wound or kill cancer cells locally,” Sitti said.

The researchers hope that their soft robot will some day become a standard option for health care providers, offering a space-age option for non-invasive access to hard-to-reach places.

“Currently it is not possible to access many small regions inside the human body without surgery,” Sitti said. “But our target is to reach such regions non-invasively and conduct diagnostic and therapeutic operations with our soft robots.”

Newgrange: An 5,000-year-old Cosmic Monument That Predates the Pyramids by 500 years

A thousand years older than Stonehenge, and 500 years older than the Pyramids of Giza, Newgrange is an ancient monument that consists of approximately 200,000 tons of rock and other materials. It is 85 meters (279 ft) wide at its widest point.

One of the most famous ancient sites in Ireland is Newgrange, a monument built between 3,300-2,900 BC according to carbon 14 tests (Grogan 1991).

This makes it 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza of Egypt, and 1,000 years older than Stonehenge (although the first stages of Stonehenge are approximately about the same time as Newgrange). This ancient monument also predates the Mycenaean culture of ancient Greece.

It remained lost during more than 4,000 years due to a decrease of the mound until it was discovered in the XVII century by people who looked construction stones and described it as a cave.

Newgrange was excavated and restored between 1962 and 1975 under the supervision of Professor Michael J O’Kelly, of the Department of Archeology at the University College Cork (O’Kelly 1986).

The intricately carved monument predates the Pyramids of Giza by around 500 years.

Most of the stones (200,000 tons of rock) come from the vicinity of the construction, although the granite and quartz stones of the façade were transported from more distant places, probably from Wicklow and Dundalk Bay, respectively.

The true purpose of this ancient monument remains a mystery, although experts believe it was a religious center of some sort.

The Celtic triple spiral or triskele symbol is sometimes called the spiral of life and was found in the Newgrange site from the Bronze Age in Ireland. The triple spiral is an ancient symbol of Celtic beliefs, and was used consistently in Celtic art for 3 millennia.

Interestingly, Newgrange appears to be astronomically oriented: every year, on the morning of the winter solstice, sunlight penetrates the passage and illuminates the floor of the chamber for 17 minutes.

Newgrange features numerous examples of abstract Neolithic rock art.

Some have speculated that the Sun would have had great importance in the religious beliefs of the people who built it, and others have taken the finding as a reference for archaeoastronomic studies in other similar monuments although Newgrange’s alignment is the only one that has been reliably demonstrated and it could be the result of chance.

The entire monument was intricately carved.

Newgrange contains numerous examples of abstract Neolithic rock art carved onto it which provide decoration, although some authors have speculated that their design is more than just art, for researchers have demonstrate a close connection between the ancient site and the sun, specifically the Winter Solstice; the rising sun shines directly along the long passage, illuminating the inner chamber and revealing the carvings inside, notably the triple spiral on the front wall of the chamber.

The carvings at Newgrange fit into ten categories, five of which are curvilinear (circles, spirals, arcs, serpentiform and dot-in-circles) and the other five of which are rectilinear (chevrons, lozenges, radials, parallel lines, and offsets).

They are also marked by wide differences in style, the skill-level that would have been needed to produce them, and on how deeply carved they are.

As for the exact purpose of the monument, several authors believe Newgrange may have been centered on astronomy, engineering, geometry, and mythology associated with the Boyne monuments.

Researchers speculate that the monument was an important astronomical center and that the sun formed a crucial part of the religious beliefs of the Neolithic people who built it.

Pururauca—When Andean God Viracocha Turned Stones Into Soldiers

The legend of the Pururaucas soldiers or stone soldiers is an Inca legend that mystifies the victory of the Inca army over the Chanca army in 1438.

Mainstream scholars see the event an attempt to magnify the feat of the surprise Inca victory of the battle of Yahuarpampa.

The Andean legend speaks of a massive battle where the Incas saw themselves outnumbered against a terrifying enemy, but invoked their greatest deity, asking for help.

The god Viracocha responded to their call by turning rocks into soldiers, helping the Inca defend their city causing the enemy to retreat in fear.

But, is this a mere legend or is there more to this story than initially thought?

Let’s start from scratch.

The conflict of the Incas with the Chanca is perhaps the most known and decisive episode in Andean history.

It was in 1438 when Hanan Chanca Anccu Hualloc gathered more than 40,000 soldiers and undertook the conquest of Cusco, destroying everything in its path, eventually surrounding the city.

Legend has it that the Inca ruler Hatun Tópac (Huiracocha Inca) and his son, the Crown Prince Urco, cowardly fled the capital leaving the Cusco people to defend themselves upon the imminent arrival of the powerful Chanca army.

Anarchy reigned until the young Prince Cusi Yupanqui (Pachacutec Inca), who happens to be Urco’s younger brother and second in succession, courageously led a resistance. The young prince recruited a small army to defend the city from the enemy army, but nobody wanted to join them more than the ethnic group of the Canas.

Before this adversity, the prince turned to the gods. The young prince called for Viracocha, the mighty Andean god who eventually responded.

Was Viracocha an ancient alien God?

The Andean creator god Viracocha, appeared in a dream and told Prince Cusi Yupanqui that he will send soldiers to assist in the unequal fight, promising an overwhelming victory for the Inca.

After having dreamt what Prince Cusi Yupanqui saw as a powerful message from the Gods, the battle came.

The powerful Chanca army thought that an easy battle was upon them, waiting for an easy conquest. As the Chanca Army advanced, Prince Pachacutec’s dream comes true; the surrounding stones all of a sudden are transformed into warriors that attack the Chanca causing them retreat.

Just as the god Viracocha had promised the prince in the dream, the Incas—motivated by this “divine act”—win the battle and, once the Chanca Army retreated, the mysterious lithic soldiers returned to their original form.

But what really happened that day?

Mainstream scholars believe that the stone soldiers, called Pururaucas, were only part of a clever strategy put together by the young prince, and consisted of disguising mounds of rocks as soldiers and positioning them in such a way that the Chanca thought that the Incas had a much larger army.

via GIPHY

Other historical sources suggest that many of the local ethnic groups that initially refused to participate in the conflict, audaciously waited to see which side would gain an advantage on the battlefield and then join it, thus, say some historians, giving off the impression as having come out of nowhere, and perhaps even from the rocks themselves.

But, the Chanca were bloodthirsty and extremely violent. They were great fearless soldiers and for this reason, it is hard to believe that they would have retreated from the battlefield thanks to stones dressed up as soldiers.

Something much more powerful must have occurred for the powerful Chanca army to retreat.

Another version of this legend is that the Chanca army fled when they saw the large number of soldiers that the Inca army had, but it was not mounds of stone but llamas which Pachacutec had disguised after seeing the numerical disadvantage.

However, many say a much more incredible event occurred that day, pointing towards an otherworldly influence.

Is it possible that Viracocha, who is often referred to as an ancient alien god by numerous authors, did, in fact, create a ‘miraculous’ army thousands of years ago, that helped defend the Inca against the powerful Chanca army?

CHILLING CLAIM: 'Aliens in UFOs filmed observing the ISS are about to make CONTACT'

ALIENS allegedly monitoring the International Space Station (ISS) are about to make contact with us in an historic move that could change the world forever, it has extraordinarily been claimed. One skywatcher claims to have witnessed alien craft heading into the Earth’s atmosphere and observing us from the skies in livestreams from ISS cameras observing the planet.

By JON AUSTIN

NASA*Conspiracy Depot*YouTube

The man behind YouTube channel Conspiracy Depot even believes the "extraterrestrial beings" he is convinced are inside them will soon reveal themselves to astronauts on the ISS and the wider world.

The conspiracy theorist who has only released his first name Graham, spoke as he revealed live stream footage that he claims shows seven UFOs.

He said: “Sightings all over the world are increasing at a dramatic rate.

“We are being watched and observed like a large planet sized scale lab experiment, I am of the opinion that the other races visiting our planet are not hostile.

“After all, with the technology they must employ to travel vast distances etc, I’m sure they could wipe us out in the blink of an eye.

“And the fact we are still breathing on this beautiful planet means either they are here to help or observe.”

But, chillingly, Graham added that we could soon come face-to-face with aliens.

He revealed: “Eventually, they will make themselves known.

“There is a theory that a timescale has been firmly set and agreed by world leaders and the ET's and I think the time for disclosure will be within the next 15 years.

“Imagine how this will impact the Earth, new technology, medicines and way of life, our whole civilisation could change to reflect one of unity and peace.

"There may be other hostile races too which we are being protected from also which is very reassuring.”

Graham captured his "evidence" during a live feed from the ISS on March 31 and uploaded it to his YouTube channel Conspiracy Depot, Dailystar.co.uk reports.

He revealed that he spotted several UFOs between 11.20 and 11.50pm.

However, Graham has no evidence to back up his claims of advanced aliens visiting Earth and the "contact deadline."

Sceptics have pounced on and attempted to rubbish his claims.

Colin Hadley posted in response to the video: "Some if not all of those will be Tiangong-1 as it's falling to earth at the moment."

Scott Brando runs debunking website Ufoofinterest.org.

He regularly comments on similar videos uploaded by conspiracy theorists like Graham which show what appear like faint and glowing objects on camera.

Mr Brando has shown several times through his own videos how the objects are not actually there and are reflections from the ISS or lens flares inside the cameras that appear on the recorded footage.

Farewell, Tiangong-1: Chinese Space Station Meets Fiery Doom Over South Pacific

02-04-2018 om 22:55 geschreven door peter  

( Is this a SF-story, Peter2011)

In the three years that Corey Goode has been revealing his stunning information about secret space programs, extraterrestrial civilizations, and diplomatic meetings, there has been a steady build up to some major revelations about humanity’s future. It appears that a critical threshold was reached in a December 2017 meeting near the planet Saturn where multiple delegations met to discuss humanity’s future in light of the ending of 22 genetic experiments run by multiple human-looking extraterrestrial civilizations.

In a prior article, I discussed Goode’s report about an earlier December 16  “Super Federation” meeting he attended near the planet Jupiter involving over 60 human-looking extraterrestrial delegations, where he played the role of spokesperson for the Sphere Being Alliance. This is a group of higher density beings (6^th to 9^th density consciousness) who have been acting as a kind of Galactic umpire over the last few years to encourage diplomatic solutions to Earth’s multiple conflicts involving dozens of competing extraterrestrial groups, Inner Earth civilizations, global elites and secret space programs.

At the Super Federation meeting, Goode said he was told to relay to the assembled extraterrestrial delegations that their long term genetic experiments involving humanity needed to come to an end, and that humanity would be left alone to determine its own future. Despite some initial protests, Goode revealed that this decision was accepted by the Super Federation, making it possible for another diplomatic meeting a few days later (December 19-21, 2017) where the process for creating a new Super Federation governing human affairs would begin.

To some, what has been written so far may sound delusional and many will demand evidence to prove at least part of it before even considering it possible. At the moment, however, there is no hard evidence to substantiate Goode’s claims. On the other hand, there is no hard evidence to disprove any of them either, despite determined attempts by some critics to discredit his testimony and credibilty.

In the three years that I have been researching and writing about Goode’s incredible assertions, I have found no evidence of deception. Instead, I have found multiple sources corroborating his information from many different perspectives, e.g., whistleblowers/insiders, documents, and contemporary events.

My research has been documented in three books so far, which detail, compare, and analyze his amazing claims. Comprising over 1200 written pages and 1500 references, the clear conclusion reached in the Secret Space Program Series is that Goode is very credible, honest and truthful about the events he has witnessed, and taken part in.

In addition, I have met and communicated with senior military intelligence officials who have likewise accepted Goode’s information as accurate, and have quietly assisted him with some very high level national security information. If Goode was perpetuating a hoax, as some of his critics contend, I doubt such high level officials would be helping him.

For those drawn to the Corey Goode information, keeping an open and discerning mind is required to fully understand what he is telling us, and how it is relevant to our lives. Goode’s revelations not only inform us about key historical events and political processes that have not been publicly disclosed, but also what the future holds for us.

It’s quite clear that Goode has been chosen to play a unique and special role as a witness to extraordinary galactic events and meetings occurring today. He has no other formal role except occasionally acting as a spokesperson for the Sphere Being Alliance when they choose to appear at off-world diplomatic meetings. Where Goode is used to relay information to participants even when the Sphere Being Alliance members are physically present.

This was spectacularly demonstrated at a meeting in March 2015, where afterward Goode described how he appeared on stage along with two members of the Sphere Being Alliance before roughly 120 VIPs and delegates drawn from multiple secret space programs, global elites and private civilian groups at a secret facility on the Moon called Lunar Operations Command. It was this March 2015 meeting that launched Goode into a series of meetings, abductions, and encounters, which subsequently led to the December 2017 meetings that have become the most significant to have occurred so far.

It is Goode’s role as delegate for the Sphere Being Alliance, and the status this accords him from the perspective of other groups and forces both on and off-planet, that requires us to keep an open and discerning mind to what he is telling us. Goode is giving us all vital information about events that lie ahead, and we should not be distracted by the noise of competing voices wanting to distract us, intentionally or not, from important galactic developments.

This takes me to the most recent galactic meeting that Goode attended, only a few days after the December 16 Super Federation meeting near Jupiter. He discussed both of these meetings in a January 13 article and his March 27 Cosmic Disclosure interview. 

Goode described being taken to a nearly identical temporal anomaly near Saturn by representatives of seven Inner Earth civilizations. The craft that transported him had a total of 40 Inner Earth participants comprising the seven groups.

Intriguingly, Goode says that these Inner Earth beings are descendants of humanity’s future selves, a small group of whom time traveled into the distant past to maintain an optimal timeline. They did this to ensure that Draconian Reptilians would not overtly take over the planet, thereby establishing a global tyranny.

Goode says that when he arrived at the Saturn facility, he was met with representatives of 52 civilized worlds from the local cluster of stars in our region of the Milky Way. In his March 27 interview, Goode described the physical appearance of these representatives:

They were all humans of different types, and most of them were not Caucasian. They were different types of olive skin, brown skin, and even a kind of a tan skin. But they were representatives of each of the local 52 stars. And they are all basically our cosmic cousins. They are human beings, just different types. 

He pointed out that one of these groups, the famed Olmecs who had mysteriously helped develop human civilization, were in fact extraterrestrial refugees relocated to Earth due to the Draconian control of their home world. 

Goode elaborated about this in his March 27 interview:

Many, many, many times on Earth in our history, refugees have been brought from other planetary systems to stay here and live here. And they’ve lived here for many generations at times. That was the Mayans. But the Olmecs, when there was a major issue going on in their star system, many of them were brought here as refugees to survive here and wait out the issues there. Then they were brought back. 

In past interviews, Goode has described his interactions with “Mica”, the representative of the Olmec group, who had previously played Goode’s role as the Sphere Being Alliance representative for his civilization.

According to Goode, neighboring star systems have experienced similar histories to our own in terms of corrupt global elites secretly allied with a group of extraterrestrials described as Draconian Reptilians. In these adjacent star systems, the Sphere Being Alliance appeared and choose a single individual to be their delegate/spokesperson in the subsequent negotiations and struggle to rid the planet of the corrupt elite control systems that plagued these worlds.

In this regard, Goode said:

Each of them have either been in contact with the Blue Avians or the Triangle-Head being and gone through a similar thing that I have in their planetary system. 

Apparently, in all these worlds, the function of the Sphere Being Alliance delegate/witness was to relay what was being observed to the rest of the population. This was a critical aspect in the awakening of each planetary population, and gaining freedom from their corrupt elites and Reptilian overlords.

Goode explained:

Well, we were told that we were witnesses, that we were the conduits for each of our collective consciousnesses, that each of our groups was a collective consciousness on our planetary systems that we were on, like here on Earth. The information I was receiving, what I was witnessing, was on behalf of the collective consciousness here in this Solar System. 

At this Saturn meeting, Goode says he was chosen once again to play the spokesperson for the Sphere Being Alliance members before the assembled delegates. The three Blue Avians and Golden Triangle beings that were present said they would be leaving our physical reality and would be replaced by another two members of the Sphere Being Alliance, as Goode had previously announced in 2017.

All present at the Saturn meeting were subsequently introduced by Goode to the new Sphere Being Alliance members who “began to give us some cosmic ground rules for going forward.”

They would be responsible for assisting humanity in an unprecedented era where it would not be dominated by competing extraterrestrial groups. Essentially, humanity would be fully informed about the truth of their global situation, and would then be able to determine its future free of corrupt elites and extraterrestrial interference.

Of particular interest was the appearance of a group of entities called the “Sentinels” at the Saturn meeting, who are custodians of still functional Ancient Builder Race technologies that are up to two billion years old. Up to approximately 500,000 years ago, according to Goode. Builder Race technologies were used to establish a very powerful protective grid around our local cluster of 53 solar systems (52 + Sol), to keep out aggressive extraterrestrial races until it was destroyed in an internal Solar System wide war.

The Sentinels communicated with the Sphere Being Alliance in a spectacular light show that all participants witnessed. This was very significant since it suggested that the Sentinels would continue their present role, thereby ensuring that Builder Race technologies that continue to operate would only be accessed by individuals whose ethical standards and behavior meet with the high expectations set by the Sphere Being Alliance.

Goode has previously described how “Gonzales”, a U.S. Navy Lt Commander, had been turned away by the Sentinels when he approached one of the functional Builder Race installations. The Sentinel told Gonzales that he lacked humility, and a request was subsequently made for Goode to make the same trip later to learn about the installation.

Builder Race technology is particularly relevant to nations with military run secret space programs, such as the U.S. Navy’s  Solar Warden, wishing to extend contemporary military concepts such as “full spectrum dominance” into outer space battlefields. It is doubtful that the Sentinels would allow Builder Race technologies to be used in this way for the military benefit of a single nation or planet.

Goode was told that a new, and  more representative, Super Federation would be assembled. Then the newly liberated and now awakened humanity would interact on a more equal basis with the different extraterrestrial groups, and would be joined by representatives from the nearby 52 star systems.

Goode also said that at the December 16 Super Federation meeting had a representative from the “Council of 200” (a corrupt elite control group) seated as the head of the Earth delegation. Presumably, our newly awakened humanity will at some point choose a more representative individual as humanity’s spokesperson for Galactic affairs.

It will be very interesting to see what process is adopted by our planet’s seven billion inhabitants and/or their political representatives to choose one or more delegates to a newly reconstituted Super Federation. I highly doubt the global populace will accept major nations simply choosing a representative similar to how the United Nations Secretary General is appointed without any kind of grass roots participation.

In addition, the Inner Earth beings will be represented in this expanded Super Federation, presumably opening the door for them to further interact with surface humanity, and publicly reveal themselves in the near future.

As to when all these stunning changes are going to be publicly revealed, Goode has discussed an upcoming series of solar flash events that will act as the trigger for full disclosure and humanity’s awakening.

NASA’s next mission to Mars will map the planet’s interior, scheduled for May 5th

NASA’s next mission will provide InSight into the workings of Mars’ interior — and find out whether there is such a thing as a Marsquake.

No, that’s not a typo — NASA’s InSight mission, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport, leaves little room for doubt as to what it will entail — except that it will do it on Mars. There’s a lot of interest among planetary scientists about what secrets the red planet’s interior hides, and the mission aims to bring many of those to light. As part of this mission, the eponymous lander will blast off from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California as early as May 5, according to a news release.

Red to the core?

The InSight mission will be the first in many regards: it’s the first launch to another planet from the West Coast — usually, that’s a role reserved for Cape Canaveral, Florida. It’s also the first mission dedicated to studying Mars’ deep interior, the product of 25 years of planning and effort, says the mission’s lead investigator Bruce Banerdt.

Although the launch is scheduled for the 5th of May, it will still take the lander about six months to make the 301-million-mile treck to Mars, according to NASA estimates. Another 2-3 months will be needed to get the instruments all nicely calibrated and humming at peak accuracy; all in all, the mission should last about two Earth years, which is a little over one Martian year.

According to Banerdt, InSight will collect seismic data and chart heat flows beneath the planet’s crust, all while keeping a highly-accurate eye on Mars’ north pole. He’s confident that by the mission’s end, researchers will have enough data on hand to map out the interior structure of Mars — a feat that could finally tell us what turned the planet so barren. The craft will be beaming data back since day one, however, so maybe we’ll piece things together a bit faster.

InSight’s observations extend farther than Mars alone, though. Data gleaned from the lander will help scientists better understand how rocky bodies or planets form and evolve; Banerdt described the mission as a “scientific time machine that will bring back information about the early stages of Mars’ formation four-and-a-half-billion years ago”.

Having access to this story will even help scientists better understand how Earth and our moon came to be. Down here, because our planet is still keeping active (isn’t it making us all so proud?), the same clues InSight will be looking for just aren’t available anymore; they’ve been destroyed by millions of years of erosion, mantle convection, plate tectonics, and other geological processes. Mars, luckily for us, hasn’t been active enough to cover up the traces left by its formation and early processes, according to Banerdt.

“What InSight is going to do is, it is going to sort of fill in the last big hole in our understanding of Mars. We’ve sent orbiters to Mars which have studied the entire surface, [but e]verything more than just a few feet below the surface is completely unknown territory,” he explains.

“And InSight is going to fill in the gap in our knowledge of Mars and sort of finish the reconnaissance of the exploration of Mars.”

InSight’s launch is scheduled for May 5; if anything should interfere with that date and the mission needs to be delayed, its launch window is open until June 8.

Life may be hiding in Venus’ clouds, one team of researchers believes

BY ALEXANDRU MICU 

An international team of researchers thinks Venus might hide life — floating around merrily in its atmosphere. To find out, they plan to send a half blimp, half plane robot to the scorching planet.

Here on good ole’ Earth, microorganisms — mostly in the shape of bacteria — can and often do get swept up into the atmosphere. They don’t even mind it that much; using specially-equipped ballons, researchers have detected these critters alive and well at altitudes as high as 41 kilometers (25 miles) above sea level. We also know of several different strains that can survive in ridiculously harsh environments, from the hot springs of Yellowstone and deep ocean hydrothermal vents to acid lakes or radioactive sludge.

These tidbits might seem unrelated at first, but a research team led by planetary scientist Sanjay Limaye of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Space Science and Engineering Center believes that when you put the two together, they suggest life might exist on Earth’s closest neighbor — scorching Venus.

Lovely goddess, dreadful planet

So first thing first — does life have a realistic chance of sprouting up on Venus, given the planet’s notoriously hostile conditions? According to the team, yes. They note that some climate models of the planet’s history suggest that Venus had what we’d consider a habitable climate, with liquid water and stable surface temperatures, for about 2 billion years. That would be “plenty of time” for life to evolve on its own on Venus, according to Limaye — adding that it’s “much longer than is believed to have occurred on Mars”.

The second question is whether any indigenous life form could have survived the wanton climate change that turned Venus into the hellscape it currently is. According to paper co-author Rakesh Mogul, a professor of biological chemistry at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, life on Earth has already shown that biological systems can thrive in “very acidic conditions, can feed on carbon dioxide, and produce sulfuric acid”. That is actually a very important piece of the puzzle since Venus’ atmosphere is composed mostly of carbon dioxide, water droplets, and sulfuric acid.

Perhaps the most convincing argument in favor of life on Venus is the fact that a series of space probes launched to the planet between 1962 and 1978 showed that temperature and pressure levels in the lower and middle layers of its atmosphere (40 to 60 kilometers / 25 to 27 miles) could harbor microbial life as we know it. The surface, however, basking in a somewhat excessive average temperature of 450 degrees Celsius (860 degrees Fahrenheit), looks decidedly uninhabitable.

The idea to check for life in Venus’ atmosphere caught root by chance at a teachers’ workshop; it started with co-author Grzegorz Słowik from the University of Zielona Góra, Poland, who mentioned to Limaye that there are bacteria on Earth whose light-absorbing properties match those of unidentified particles that form dark patches in the iconic clouds of Venus.

“Venus shows some episodic dark, sulfuric rich patches, with contrasts up to 30-40 percent in the ultraviolet, and muted in longer wavelengths. These patches persist for days, changing their shape and contrasts continuously and appear to be scale dependent,” says Limaye.

Spectroscopic observations showed that the dark patches are composed of concentrated sulfuric acid and other unknown light-absorbing particles. The dimensions of the particles in these patches match some bacteria on Earth; however, none of the instruments we’ve so far sent to Venus could distinguish between organic and inorganic compounds, so beyond these observations, the particles remained a mystery.

Enter the VAMP

It would be quite easy to test for microorganisms in Venus’ atmosphere if we could get another robot to the planet. And, as luck would have it, one such craft is already in the works: Northrop Grumman’s Venus Atmospheric Maneuverable Platform, VAMP for short. This part plane, part blimp vessel was designed to roam the Venusian atmosphere and gather data that would help scientists understand what went wrong in Venus’ past to send it down such a different path from Earth — Venus is often called our planet’s twin, due to striking similarities in mass, gravity, chemistry, and general evolution (with the key difference that Venus is a boiling acid bubble).

The VAMP is already designed to stay aloft in Venus’ cloud layer for up to a year at a time to gather data. It will carry instruments used for this task — Limaye says a Raman Lidar, meteorological and chemical sensors, and spectrometers are likely — but it could be easily adapted to also carry a microscope to let it test for living microorganisms.

“To really know, we need to go there and sample the clouds,” says Mogul. “Venus could be an exciting new chapter in astrobiology exploration.”

The team is also harboring hopes that NASA might secure some extra shuttle space in Russia’s upcoming Roscosmos Venera-D mission, now slated for the late 2020s, for the task. Current plans for Venera-D include an orbiter, a lander, and a NASA-contributed surface station and maneuverable aerial platform. We’ll have to wait and see if the current political climate and Russia’s unenviable position in the global diplomatic pecking order will get in the way of exciting science. It might.

Whether the team manages to pack and ship their microscope aboard the Venera-D or VAMP remains to be seen. No matter how it goes, however, the team has a chance of being the first to discover alien life — in one of the places we’d have considered most inhospitable.

Let’s hope that the goddess of love will surprise us where the god of war has shown himself stubbornly — if character-fittingly — devoid of life.

The paper “Venus’ Spectral Signatures and the Potential for Life in the Clouds” has been published in the journal Astrobiology.

UFO Beam appears in strange orange sky over Stockholm, Sweden

Soheila Nickros was looking outside 3 am yesterday, Mach 31, 2018, when she saw a very strange sky that appears to be orange/reddish but even more strange was an object with a beam of light that seemly stands motionless in the sky.

Soheila already surprised by the strange colored sky wonders whether the object is a UFO or not.

Besides the strange colored sky that is currently being observed around the world, especially in the US, is it possible that the UFO Beam is a reflection of a street light or a camera reflection?

But comparing the UFO Beam with the outlines of the street light it is not the same, maybe a lens flare but since the camera moves a slightly, the lens flare must follow the motion of the camera, in this case the UFO beam still stays at the same spot.

Top 10 places in Russia to see a UFO

BORIS EGOROV

Did you know the country has its own Area 51? Even Mulder and Scully would have a hard time solving some of these mysteries.

1. Molyobka Triangle

Const st

The Molyobka anomaly zone - aka Molybka Triangle - in Russia’s Perm Region has a long extraterrestrial history. As far back as the early 19th century local peasants saw flying objects in the sky here. During the Soviet period the Molybka Triangle became one of the first areas in the country where UFOs were seen. Eyewitnesses spoke of mysterious flying objects of different sizes and forms, red and blue glowing balls, and huge black humanoid figures. Some even said that they had telepathic contact with these visitors.

2. Don Stonehenge

Veter TV

Ancient stones in the steppe, 120 km from Rostov-on-Don, are so reminiscent of the famous British landmark that they were named Don Stonehenge. Locals are sure the formation is some kind of spaceport for extraterrestrial ships. People claim UFOs regularly appear here in the night - but never during the day.

3. Alat village

Vzglyad

Apparently the inhabitants of Alat village in Russia’s Republic of Tatarstan are used to UFOs. They say a yellow spot always appears in the sky after sunset. Colorful rays come out of it, hang around for a while, and then disappear in different directions. Unfortunately, there are no photos of this mystery. Cameras can’t catch it, they say.     

4. Kyshtym

Legion Media

In 1996, the small Ural’s city of Kyshtym made the headlines when the body of a small unknown creature was found. Alyoshenka - or the Kyshtym Dwarf - as it was called couldn’t be attributed to a known species. Unfortunately, local police transferred the mysterious body to some unknown ufologists, and nobody has seen it since.

5. Olkhon Island in Lake Baikal

Legion Media

The breathtaking beauty of Lake Baikal hasn’t escaped extraterrestrial guests - so they say. In 1971, near Olkhon Island, a huge pyramid was seen silently moving over the water’s surface. The same pyramid was seen again in 1984, 1990, and 1998.  

6. Dalnegorsk, Height 611

Legion Media

On January 29, 1986 dozens of inhabitants of the Far Eastern town of Dalnegorsk breathlessly watched a UFO in the form of a red-orange ball crash into the local limestone hill known as Height 611, before burning up. People managed to find some tiny remains of the material the object was made of. According to scientists who studied the evidence, the technique used to alloy the metals is not known to humanity.

7. Sasovo village

Legion Media

The appearance of a UFO in Sasovo village in the Ryazan Region on Cosmonautics Day (April 12, 1991) didn’t go unnoticed. A huge explosion shook houses and broke windows - people thought it was a nuclear blast. Yet the reasons behind the event are not known. Some said they saw big white balls cross the sky soon after. The blast happened again a year later, but it was much weaker.

8. Medveditsky Ridge

Legion Media

UFO hunters say aliens often land their spaceships on Medveditsky Ridge in the Volgograd Region. Areas of scorched earth can sometimes be found, while grass nearby remains totally untouched. Broken down lawn mower or aliens?

9. Sverdlovsk Triangle

Roundme

Located near Yekaterinburg, the Sverdlovsk Triangle is the place where most UFO sightings occurred in the USSR during the 1980s and 1990s. Ufologists say the area spanned the prefered flight paths of aliens. Nowadays, it seems the extraterrestrial highway isn’t so busy, but locals sometimes claim they see spaceships flying past from time to time.

10. Okunevo village

Legion Media

Residents of the Siberian village Okunevo say that spaceships land on the lake located near their settlement before diving into its depths. The water then apparently emits a green light. Some people believe the ancient Khanumam temple is located on the lake’s bottom.

A UFO researcher spots two mysterious unidentified objects on the lunar surface

People around the world have been reporting sightings of UFOs and existence of extraterrestrial life on Earth, Moon and in the universe. In rather mysterious photographs scanned and analyzed by George Graham, a Scottish UFOlogist pointed out few photos calling them aliens on the moon. From among the plethora of videos posted on his YouTube channel StreetCap1, there are two distinct videos which show anomalies. According to George, the images were taken by Chinese lunar probe Chang’e 3 where a humanoid structure and a hidden alien spaceship can be seen.

In the first video, the UFOlogist explains a bizarre image that shows a humanoid creature. Although this can be a case of pareidolia where human brain creates an image between unrelated patterns to create a recognizable image. He states that the humanoid creature, probably an alien is wearing a helmet and a visor which can be clearly recognized. Also, the body parts are in the right proportion with the distance between shoulders to the head similar to any humans which are quite shocking.

In another video, he shows a UFO being hidden by a rock. The photo was captured by Chang’e 3 which shows a flying saucer-like creation hidden behind a rock which can be clearly seen. George’s channel on YouTube has plenty of videos referencing to aliens on the lunar surface with more than 70,000 subscribers and more than 44 million hits on his channel.

In another instance, people living in the SW part of Bristol, United Kingdom got to see an unidentified object with the moon as the background which has sparked speculations among people who believe in UFOs and aliens. According to a witness present at the moment, the incident took place on March 30 in Bristol street when suddenly, a strange glow hue was seen across the moon which took a flight at high-speed along with few other smaller objects accompanying it.

On January 31, 2018, when the first Super Blood Moon took place, it was live broadcasted by various news channels and websites for the viewers across the globe. During the feed, a bright flashing dot can be seen flying from the left side of the moon from flying at a high-speed from top to the bottom of the screen. What’s more bizarre was a seemingly beaming flash accompanying the bright dot and it flashed at regular interval. This spark debates and discussions between alien buffs and Ufologists regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life which NASA is trying to hide. A similar object was seen during the last moon on November 14 when a David McCarty, a YouTuber spotted the object flying at a great speed across the moon.

UFOlogists have spotted bizarre objects of the moon such as two missiles in the military formation on the moon or when a video of a circular UFO passing over the Moon was discovered. Conspiracy theorists believe that moon is not our satellite but a base created by aliens to keep a watch on humans and spy on us etc. A study conducted by NASA and published in 1962 states that the density of moon is lower in the inner surface as opposed to its outer surface which is dense. According to a theory, since the inside of the moon is hollow, aliens use it as a base keeping an eye on the activities done by people on Earth.

Wetenschappers ontdekken verste ster ooit op 9 miljard lichtjaar afstand van de Aarde - HLN.be

Bron: ANP

Individuele sterren zijn vanaf een afstand van ongeveer 100 miljoen lichtjaar niet meer van elkaar te onderscheiden. Het licht is daarvoor niet fel genoeg. Dat het nu wel kan, komt door de hulp van sterrenstelsels die tussen de ster en de aarde staan. Zij werkten als een soort loep en ‘vergrootten’ de ster meer dan tweeduizend keer. Dat licht werd opgevangen door de Amerikaans-Europese ruimtetelescoop Hubble.

De ster heeft de wetenschappelijke naam MACS J1149 LS1 gekregen, maar de ontdekkers noemen hem liever Icarus. Het is een zogeheten blauwe superreus. Zulke sterren zijn veel groter, zwaarder en heter dan onze zon, en ze kunnen een miljoen keer zo fel schijnen. De ontdekking staat in het wetenschapsblad Nature Astronomy.
