6 Amazing ‘Pieces Of Evidence’ That Hint Giants Existed On Earth
6 Amazing ‘Pieces Of Evidence’ That Hint Giants Existed On Earth
Countless ancient texts—including the Bible—mention a time when Giants walked on Earth.
But we all know Giants aren’t real, right?
Countless ancient civilizations around the globe mention in their folklore and mythologies creatures of immense stature. Giants. Massive humanoids, that once walked the Earth.
They are spoken of both in the Bible and in the Mahabharata, and similar stories can be found in the sacred Thai texts of Ceylon, in Greek mythology, as well as in the Aztec, Egyptian, Irish or Basque traditions.
The Ancient Aztecs mention in their mythology the so-called Quinametzin.
In Aztec mythology, the Quinametzin Giants populated the world during the previous era of the Sun of Rain
(Nahui-Quiahuitl).
A Quinametzin stands more than 10 feet tall and weighs about 600 pounds. They were punished by the gods because they did not venerate them, and their peak-civilization came to an end as a result of great calamities and as a punishment from the heavens for grave sins they had committed.
The construction of the pyramid of Cholula and the City of Teotihuacan (The Place Where Men Become Gods) was attributed to the Quinametzin Giants.
In Odyssey, Homer mentions giants who were a race of large and wild beings ruled by Eurimedon, who lived in the far west, on the island of Thrinacia. These beings were exterminated by Eurimedon himself because of their insolence towards the gods.
Notice how both in Greek Mythology and in Aztec mythology, Giants were punished by the Gods?
1—The Book of Giants
A small piece of the Book Of Giants and the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Discovered more than half a decade ago, the so-called Book of Giants is considered one of the most fascinating, yet controversial discoveries ever made on Earth.
Discovered together with thousands of ancient scrolls, the Book of Giants describes the demise of the ancient Nephilim.
The ancient manuscript speaks about the creatures that inhabited our planet in the distant past and how they were destroyed.
2—The Nephilim of the Bible
According to Genesis 6:1-4, The Nephilim were the offspring of the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men” before the Deluge.
When people began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that they were fair, and they took wives for themselves of all that they chose. Then the Lord said, “My spirit shall not abide in mortals forever, for they are flesh; their days shall be one hundred twenty years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went in to the daughters of humans, who bore children to them. These were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown.— Genesis 6:1–4, New Revised Standard Version.
“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also, after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” -Genesis 6:4
Numbers 13:33 ESV: “And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”
3—QuinametzinGiants
According to Aztec Mythology, the so-called Quinametzin Giants, populated this world during the previous era of the Sun Rain. These mighty creatures are mentioned in the Codex Rios, also called the Vatican A codex. According to the Italian translation of the ancient manuscript written during the Spanish Conquest, Giants lived in Mesoamerica.
According to the depictions of the codex, Aztec warriors even fought against giant beings.
Dominican Fray Diego Duran tells us a lot about Aztec history and culture. His writings offer some of the oldest texts about the ancient Aztecs, their life, religion, customs, and mythology.
“It cannot be denied that there have been giants in this country. I can affirm this as an eyewitness, for I have met men of monstrous stature here. I believe that there are many in Mexico who will remember, as I do, a giant Indian who appeared in a procession of the feast of Corpus Christi. He appeared dressed in yellow silk and a halberd at his shoulder and a helmet on his head. And he was all of three feet taller than the others.” ‑Fray Diego Duran, The Aztecs (New York: Orion Press, 1964), pp. 5-6.
4—Newspaper reports detailing the discovery of Giant humanoid fossils
Countless newspaper reports dating back more than 100 years detail the discovery of massive bones of what many people believe to have belonged to real Giants.
In this article, we have compiledover 15 reports where newspapers write about giant skeletons that could alter the course of history.
5—A Giant Finger, the ultimate evidence of Giants?
A finger of what is believed to have belonged to a creature of immense height was found in Egypt around 50 years ago. The finger—believed to be authentic—has 28 centimeters in length. Some reports suggest that the being it belonged to was at least 5 meters in height.
The images here displayed were taken in 1988 and were published by one of Europe’s leading newspaper, BILD.de
6—Kap-Dwa—a two-headed giant?
Said to have originally been captured by Spanish sailors in the 1600’s, a Giant being called Kap-Dwa was a two-headed, 3.5-meter tall massive humanoid that is believed to have lived on Earth hundreds of years ago.
Here’s The UFO Footage NASA Doesn’t Want You To See
Here’s The UFO Footage NASA Doesn’t Want You To See
During a live stream event from the Progress spacecraft, two unidentified objects appear out of nowhere and are clearly visible in NASA’s Live Stream. The two ‘unidentified objects’ quickly disappear in a way that many conspiracy theorists say, makes the footage look edited, giving UFO hunters plenty to think about.
Most importantly, it isn’t the first live stream that NASA has tried editing, say UFO hunters.
We’ve come across plenty of videos on YouTube showing what many believe is the ultimate evidence our plant is beings monitored and constantly visited by beings, not from Earth.
And while some of these videos are easily explained as reflections or camera glitches, other videos make you wonder whether or not there really is something out there we are not being told about.
One extremely controversial video was filmed by NASA’s cameras on board the international space station on July 9.
What do you think this object is? It was photographed by the Gemini X mission.
As the Space Station was orbiting Earth, a mysterious whiteish object appears to move towards our planet’s atmosphere.
Just as the object approaches the planet’s atmosphere, it comes to an abrupt stop, and NASA’s live stream is cut off.
This isn’t the first time NASA has cut off the live stream warn UFO hunters and conspiracy theorists.
On numerous occasions has NASA abruptly cut off its live stream from space, every time a mysterious UFO appears near the space station.
This strange behavior has prompted conspiracy theorists and UFO hunters to call NASA out for trying to cover-up evidence of alien visitations on Earth.
But is NASA really trying to hide evidence of alien spaceships entering and leaving Earth’s atmosphere? Or are UFO hunters and conspiracy theorists just being paranoid about it, and what if the mysterious objects are only space junk and debris floating around?
But if the alleged UFOs filmed in space are nothing more than just space junk or satellites, how come these objects have the ability to change directions or stop and move abruptly?
And If they are only space debris and satellites, why does NASA turn off their cameras nearly every single time such an object enters the cameras field of view?
Coincidence?
These ae some of the questions UFO skeptics have been unwilling to answer when asked about NASA, the International Space Station, and the countless UFO’s seen leaving and entering Earth’s atmosphere.
Enjoy the video:
“I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets… Most astronauts were reluctant to discuss UFOs.”
– Major Gordon Cooper, astronaut, testifying under oath to the United Nations.
And one of our favorite quotes comes from Dr. Brian O’Leary, a former NASA Astronaut, and Princeton Physics Professor:
“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, which seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon.”
UFOs have reportedly been caught on camera by a man from Bristol who is convinced he saw ships “bouncing off the moon”.
Bright lights in the sky were captured by the man from his flat in Easton in the early hours of Good Friday.
The 35-year-old man, who asked not to be named, said he saw a “mothership” as well as several other smaller aircraft moving across the sky at speed.
“I witnessed it from my flat in Easton,” he said. “The main UFO was some distance away – it looked like it was bouncing off the moon.
“I saw spheres and balls and I saw a mothership. I have seen UFOs before but this is the first time I have had the opportunity to record it.
“I reckon the mothership was the size of two to three football fields, at least. There were two or three altogether but the mothership was the focus – it was so big, even from a distance.”
His excited reaction to seeing he what he believes was a UFO can be heard in the video above.
Although intriguing, the man’s footage is not the first time mysterious lights have been spotted in the skies over Bristol.
In August last year, a man from Kingdown captured what appeared to be three lights hovering over the BS15 area of the city.
The sightings prompted some conspiracy theorists to suggest Bristol is a hotbed for extra-terrestrial activity – with one Bristol Post reader even suggesting Purdown BT Tower was a UFO refuelling station.
Een academisch schandaal van de eerste orde. Reactie Steven Greer op onderzoek naar ‘buitenaardse’ mummie
Een academisch schandaal van de eerste orde. Reactie Steven Greer op onderzoek naar ‘buitenaardse’ mummie
In 2003 werd een kleine mummie gevonden in de Atacamawoestijn in Chili. Het lichaampje was slechts 15 centimeter lang en misvormd.
De schedel was uitgerekt, de oogkassen stonden schuin en het lijfje had maar 10 ribben. Mensen geloofden dat Ata, zoals het wezen werd genoemd, buitenaards was.
Een DNA-studie van de Stanford-universiteit zou nu uitgewezen hebben dat het om een foetus van een misvormd meisje gaat.
Schandaal
De wetenschappers vermoeden dat het misvormde lijkje na een miskraam of vroeggeboorte in de woestijn is achtergelaten.
De mummie was te zien in de film Sirius van dr. Steven Greer. In een nieuwe video reageert hij op het onderzoek, waar zo’n beetje alle grote media over berichtten.
Greer vertelt dat hij na de publicatie van de studie werd gebeld door een topgeneticus waar hij mee samenwerkt.
De geneticus, die anoniem wil blijven omdat hij zijn baan niet wil verliezen, zou gezegd hebben dat we hier te maken hebben met een academisch schandaal van de eerste orde.
Slecht uitgevoerd
Het onderzoek werd gepubliceerd in het gerenommeerde blad Genome Research, maar volgens de topgeneticus is de collegiale toetsing ronduit slecht uitgevoerd.
Willekeurige mutaties zouden zeven genen van de mummie tegelijkertijd hebben beïnvloed. Als zulke mutaties echt willekeurig waren, zouden ook andere genen moeten zijn beïnvloed, merkte de geneticus op.
Epidemische vormen
Op basis van dit slecht uitgevoerde onderzoek wordt nu gesteld dat de zaak gesloten is, aldus Greer.
Hij voegde toe dat de corruptie binnen de wetenschap en de verspreiding van dit soort wetenschappelijke onzin epidemische vormen begint aan te nemen.
WAAROM SPLITST AFRIKA ZICH JUIST NU IN TWEE DELEN?
WAAROM SPLITST AFRIKA ZICH JUIST NU IN TWEE DELEN?
Enkele dagen geleden verscheen er een enorme scheur in Kenia die door wetenschappers wordt verklaard als het begin van een breuk die Afrika in twee delen zal splitsen.
Iedereen slaapt rustig verder, want, zo zeggen ze, dit proces zal nog zeker enkele miljoenen jaren in beslag nemen.
Het is eigenlijk best verbazingwekkend hoe gemakkelijk de bevolking weer in slaap wordt gesust nadat er weer eens iets heel heftigs met onze aarde is gebeurd.
Wetenschappers denken dat Afrika weleens in tweeën kan gaan splitsen. Het oostelijke deel zal een nieuw continent gaan vormen. De verschuiving is al begonnen; de breuk ontstond begin vorige week in Kenia.
De drukke Keniaanse weg Mai Mahiu-Narok stortte hierdoor deels in. De breuk is daar op sommige plekken twintig meter breed en vijftien meter diep. En de breuk zal sneller verbreden dan verwacht.
Wetenschapper Lucia Perez Diaz, verbonden aan de Royal Holloway universiteit van London, ziet hierin het bewijs dat het oostelijk deel van Afrika een nieuw continent zal vormen. Kenia, Tanzania, Somalië en een deel van Ethiopië zullen uiteindelijk worden afgescheiden, schrijft The Mirror naar aanleiding van haar publicatie in het blad Conversation.
In het artikel beschrijft ze hoe dit geologisch proces zich voltrekt diep in de aarde. Afrika bestaat nu nog uit één tektonische plaat: de zogeheten Afrikaanse plaat. Alleen, die wordt in het oosten geleidelijk uit elkaar gespleten, ter hoogte van Somalië.
Daardoor zullen er op termijn twee platen ontstaan: de Somalische plaat (de oostelijke plaat) én de Nubische plaat (de westelijke plaat).
Waar met geen woord over wordt gerept, is dat dit een verschijnsel is dat zich op veel meer plekken op aarde voor doet. Het is niet alleen in Kenia dat er scheuren in de aarde verschijnen.
Enkele voorbeelden uit dit jaar.
Eind februari wordt een enorme scheur ontdekt in de woestijn van Saoedi Arabië:
Begin maart verschijnen er scheuren in de aarde in Peru:
In januari verschijnt er een enorme scheur in de Amerikaanse staat Washington:
Begin maart een enorme scheur in de grond in Macedonië:
Zoals we vaker schrijven; het is niet één bepaald voorval, het is een optelsom van alle vreemde en ongewone dingen die er wereldwijd plaatsvinden. En niemand schijnt zich af te vragen waarom dit alles juist nu gebeurt.
En met het tempo waarmee dit nu allemaal gebeurt, gaat het echt niet over miljoenen jaren, maar over een veel korter tijdsbestek.
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.
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 Astrobiologyon 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
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.
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.
YONAGUMI PYRAMIDS ON TV
Story has been enhanced by History Channel (in the episode “Lost cities of the deep” of Ancient Discoveries series), by Bbc and by Discovery Channel, but the question remains: are they wildlife structures or were they created over the surface by a vanished civilization and then were flooded by ocean beacause of a volcanic eruption or an earthquake?
Yonaguni pyramids consist of a series of stone structures, comprising massive layers, as well as various pillars. They lie at a depth between 5 to 40 meters above the surface. The most remarkable structure was named “turtle” because of its similarity with such an animal.
THE CIRCULATION OF MARINE CURRENTS
Because of very strong marine currents, and a large population of hammerhead sharks, diving in these waters isn't fully safe, but this didn't prevent the area to become the most famous for diving in Japan.
Some scientists think that exactly the strong maring currents, jointly to the natural process of erosion, turned for millenia the ocean floor.
TOO MANY CORNERS AND STRAIGHT EDGES
Yonagumi pyramids would therefore be just part of a rock formation. Other experts continue to believe they were man-made, as would seem to indicate the huge number of corners and straight edges, as witness many photos taken over the years.
Whether this view proved to be correct, would arise louder a second question: why, fromwho and for what purpose were built Yonaguni pyramids. Before even gets the the mythical Atlantis, were they and ancient fortified complex, temples, or a mausoleum?
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.
“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.”
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
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
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.
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?
Gone are the days when we could count on the Arctic landscape to be painted in shades of white. The permafrost beneath the snow and ice is no longer permanently frosty, and as it melts, write researchers in a new study, it’s muddying up the once-pristine terrain — quite literally. In a startling photo accompanying the study, an array of Arctic and sub-Arctic lakes seem to spew filth from within, making the landscape look like the surface of an alien world.
The paper, published in Limnology and Oceanography Letters on Friday, describes the visible effects the thawing permafrost has on the surface of the neighboring terrain, many feet above it. As climate change warms the Earth and coaxes the permafrost out of its continually frozen state, a process called “browning” occurs, the researchers write. During this process, organic carbon once trapped deep in the permafrost seeps upward into the region’s lakes and ponds, suffusing them with a filthy brown hue. Meanwhile, the way the permafrost cracks the landscape above it creates fissures that divide the surface into eerie polygonal shapes.
In the image below, supplied in a release by Quebec, Canada’s INRS (*Institut national de la recherche scientifique), the muddiness of the browning lakes sharply contrasts with the clear blue of the larger body of water alongside them, though even it too shows sinister brown tendrils curling up along its edges.
Here’s an aerial photo of Bylot Island, which lies off the northern side of Baffin Island in the Nunavut territory of Canada, southwest of Greenland:
Browning doesn’t just make the collection of lakes look like the sickly cells of an alien organism’s skin. The biggest downside of all that organic carbon seeping to the surface, INRS biologist Isabelle Laurion, Ph.D. and her co-authors write, is that this carbon is really good at absorbing sunlight, which drives up the temperature — and thus the rate of permafrost melt — even faster.
Laurion and colleagues determined this by analyzing the different types of dissolved organic matter in 253 ponds around the North Pole, which showed them that the waters affected by thawing permafrost contained much more terrestrial carbon and less algae (a key element to the food chain in these waters).
“Our results demonstrate a strong terrestrial imprint on freshwater ecosystems in degrading ice-rich permafrost catchments, and the likely shift toward increasing dominance of land-derived organic carbon in waters with ongoing permafrost thaw,” they write.
In a paper published in Scientific Reports in 2015, researchers outlined the ecological effects of browning. In the lake they studied, over the course of 27 years, surface water temperatures increased by 2–3 degrees Celcius, the lakes became five times more transparent to UV light, and levels of zooplankton (near the bottom of the food chain) decreased.
But perhaps the worst effect of browning is that it creates conditions even more conducive to releasing even more carbon into the air — particularly in the form of the greenhouse gas methane — which will in turn speed up the climate change process by which the permafrost melts in the first place.
“Land-derived organic carbon is having a growing influence on Arctic and subarctic ponds, which carries over into the food web,” the authors said in a statement. “The browning of these systems leads to oxygen depletion and cooler water at the bottom of the ponds, which can have a major impact on the microbial activity responsible for the production and consumption of greenhouse gases, particularly the production of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.”
Stefan Michalak had a close encounter with a flying saucer in Whiteshell Provincial Park more than 50 years ago, but you could soon have one even closer — in your pocket.
That’s because Michalak and the Falcon Lake Incident are being immortalized in silver with a special limited-edition $20 coin being released by the Royal Canadian Mint today.
Michalak’s son, Stan, calls the coin "a super honour."
"I feel very privileged they are doing it... and if my dad was still around, he would be floored. He would be pleasantly surprised. And if my mother was still here, she would say everything has a reason. Everything is connected. You do something here and there will be repercussions," he said.
On one side of the coin is the standard engraving of the Queen, but on the other is a full-colour depiction of Stefan Michalak falling onto the ground, with forest and a lake behind him, while a flying saucer hovers above him.
Erica Maga, the mint’s product manager, said only 4,000 of the one-ounce silver coins are being produced. They will retail for $129.95.
"Part of our job is to discover these really interesting stories," Maga said, noting that during the research for the coin, they read last year’s Winnipeg Free Press feature on the 50th anniversary of the incident, headlined "Close encounter of the Manitoba kind."
The coin has two things to make it extra special, she said.
"This one has a very special technology to enhance the storytelling component," Maga said. "The reverse with Stefan and the UFO, if you use the black light flashlight sold with it, will make an otherworldly glow."
The coin is also not round. Special dies needed to be cast to allow for the creation of the specially ovoid-shaped blanks the coin is shaped in, so more time was needed to produce these compared to the ones in people’s pockets.
"We can only make a couple of hundred coins per shift. A lot of hands go into something like this," Maga said.
Although Winnipeg is home to the country’s main mint, which produces regular circulation coins, the Falcon Lake Incident coin was produced at the one in Ottawa, which creates special commemorative pieces, she said.
But if you’re thinking of buying the coin because you want to sell it when it goes up in value, that’s not necessarily going to happen, cautions Jasmine Allen, manager of Gatewest Coin on Corydon Avenue.
"The new stuff the mint produces is really hit or miss," Allen said. "When people are buying mint products, we recommend you have it because you enjoy it and not as an investment."
The younger Michalak, who last year co-wrote a book with Chris Rutkowski about the incident and his family’s experiences with the unwanted attention from authorities and the media, said he never would have thought someday a coin would commemorate the event.
"Who knows? Maybe the postal service will call me up. It wouldn’t surprise me now."
Sometimes the best scientific discoveries happen by accident, and even though there aren’t any test tubes to spill in an astronomical observatory, the field of space science is no exception. Most recently, an incident of cosmic happenstance has led scientists to discover a star that’s farther away from Earth than any star that’s ever been observed by humans — 9 billion light-years away. The best part? They weren’t even looking for it. Here’s what happened.
While observing a galaxy cluster designated MACS J1149+2223 with the Hubble Telescope, a team led by Patrick Kelly, Ph.D. noticed a distant star. Through an effect called gravitational lensing, a result of the massive cluster’s gravity distorting space-time, objects beyond it appear magnified. This allowed astronomers to observe the otherwise very dim star they’ve named “Icarus,” a blue supergiant star that’s bigger and hotter than our sun. Kelly, an assistant professor of astronomy and physics at the University of Minnesota, and his colleagues published their findings in a paper Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy, in which they give the star the much less exciting name: MACS J1149+2223 Lensed Star 1.
“This is the first time we’re seeing a magnified, individual star,” Kelly said in a statement. “You can see individual galaxies out there, but this star is at least 100 times farther away than the next individual star we can study, except for supernova explosions.” If not for the gravitational lensing, which the study’s authors write magnified Icarus more than 2,000 times, the star would have remained unnoticed.
Besides the fact that this star is much farther away than anything astronomers have ever directly observed, the discovery also has big implications for the study of dark matter, the mysterious substance that constitutes most of the mass in the universe but which scientists have never directly observed. One of the major hypotheses explaining the source of dark matter is that it came from primordial black holes in the early universe. But the study’s authors’ observations provide evidence that counters this hypothesis. Observing the galaxy cluster and the background star over a number of years, researchers did not see the kind of light fluctuations that would come from these primordial black holes.
Astronomers hope to get more insight into the nature of dark matter when the James Webb Space Telescope launches in 2020. Until then, indirect observations like this one are the best we can hope for.
CHILLING CLAIM: 'Aliens in UFOs filmed observing the ISS are about to make CONTACT'
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.
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.
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.
Graham
“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.
“Some people call them 'watchers' or 'observers' I think these quotes are correct.
"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.
One viewer even pointed out that his footage was taken at the same tie that the Chinese satellite Tiangong-1 was plummeting towards the Earth.
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.
Alien abduction? Unsolved case of man ‘who disappeared after building UFO' re-opened
Alien abduction? Unsolved case of man ‘who disappeared after building UFO' re-opened
A SKILLED mechanic who built a replica UFO in his backyard was never seen again after disappearing following claims he was in constant contact with aliens. Granger Taylor vanished from his parents' home at Duncan, on Vancouver Island, British Colombia, Canada, without a trace at the age of 32 in 1980.
His most memorable project was constructing a UFO-like shelter from two satellite dishes that he fitted with furniture, a TV and a stove.
But his fascination with the possibility of alien visitations became more serious when he alleged to experience constant contact from alien beings who promised to take him to their world.
The tale is often retold on alien conspiracy theory websites as alleged evidence of an alien abduction.
The reports all state that no trace of him was ever found.
But, the March 31 edition of the Montreal Gazette in 1986, five-and-a-half-years after the disappearance, said two pieces of bone that could have been Granger Taylor's, and parts of what was believed to be his truck, had been found in a dynamite blast site on Mount Prevost.

Farewell, Tiangong-1: Chinese Space Station Meets Fiery Doom Over South Pacific
Farewell, Tiangong-1: Chinese Space Station Meets Fiery Doom Over South Pacific
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
Tiangong-1 is no more.
China's prototype space station, whose name translates as "Heavenly Palace 1," met a fiery end in Earth's atmosphere today (April 1), breaking apart and burning up in the skies over the southern Pacific Ocean at about 8:16 p.m. EDT (0016 April 2 GMT), according to the U.S. Strategic Command's Joint Force Space Component Command (JFSCC).
"The JFSCC used the Space Surveillance Network sensors and their orbital analysis system to confirm Tiangong-1's re-entry," U.S. Air Force officials wrote in a statement. [Tiangong-1: China's Falling Space Station in Pictures]
Some pieces of the school-bus-size Tiangong-1 almost certainly survived the fall, but the odds that they caused any damage or injury are extremely small: You had a less than 1-in-1-trillion chance of getting hit by a flaming chunk of the heavenly palace, according to experts with the Aerospace Corporation.
By the way, if you do manage to find such a chunk of Tiangong-1, don't pick it up or breathe in any fumes emanating from it. The space junk may be contaminated with hydrazine, a toxic rocket fuel, experts have said.
Tiangong-1 was about 34 feet long by 11 feet wide (10.4 by 3.4 meters), and it weighed more than 9 tons (8 metric tons). The space lab consisted of two main parts: an "experimental module" that housed visiting astronauts and a "resource module" that accommodated Tiangong-1's solar-energy and propulsion systems.
The craft launched without anyone aboard on Sept. 29, 2011, to an orbit about 217 miles (350 kilometers) above Earth. That's slightly lower than the orbit of the much larger International Space Station, whose average altitude is 250 miles (400 km). Tiangong-1's main mission was to help China master the technologies required to assemble and operate a bona-fide space station in Earth orbit, a goal the nation aims to achieve by the early 2020s, the country has said.
On Nov. 2, 2011, the robotic Shenzhou-8 spacecraft visited Tiangong-1, executing China's first-ever orbital docking. Another big milestone came in June 2012, when a crew of three spaceflyers linked their Shenzhou-9 vehicle to the heavenly palace and came aboard for a spell.
Three more "taikonauts," or Chinese astronauts, visited in June 2013, traveling on the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft. Each of these crewed missions lasted about two weeks.

Tiangong-1's design lifetime was just two years, and the space lab's work was mostly done after Shenzhou-10 departed. The empty space lab continued to do some Earth-observation work, however, and researchers and engineers kept in touch with it until March 2016, when data transmission between Tiangong-1 and its handlers stopped, for reasons that China never explicitly specified. At that point, an uncontrolled atmospheric re-entry was apparently inevitable.
This is the view of outside researchers. But Chinese space officials dispute such terminology, said Dean Cheng, a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation who's an expert on China's space program. [The Biggest Spacecraft to Fall Uncontrolled From Space]
"The Chinese insist that it is controlled," Cheng told Space.com. "They're very, very unhappy when you use this term 'uncontrolled.'"
Chinese officials have said that they know where Tiangong-1 is and can provide location updates at any time, Cheng added. But for other spacefaring nations, a "controlled" re-entry is one performed under the guidance of a spacecraft's handlers — for example, the intentional de-orbiting of the Soviet/Russian Mir space station over the Pacific Ocean in March 2001.
"We should be diplomatically, and in the space-policy world, pushing China to accept a definition of 'control' that is comparable to that of the rest of the rules-based world. You don't get your own definition," Cheng said. "To support that, there need to be some sticks here," he added, referring to consequences.
The re-entry of Tiangong-1 was tracked by the JFSCC, the U.S.-based analysis group Aerospace Corp., the European Space Agency and scientists around the world with the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee.
"The JFSCC works alongside government, industry and international partners to track and report reentries, to include today’s Tinagong-1 reentry, because the space domain is vital to our shared international security interests," JFSCC deputy commander Maj. Gen. Stephen Whiting, commander of the 14th Air Force, said in the JFSCC statement. "One of our missions, which we remain focused on, is to monitor space and the tens of thousands of pieces of debris that congest it, while at the same time working with allies and partners to enhance spaceflight safety and increase transparency in the space domain."
"All nations benefit from a safe, stable, sustainable, and secure space domain," Whiting said. "We're sharing information with space-faring nations to preserve the space domain for the future of mankind."
Tiangong-1's successor, Tiangong-2, launched to Earth orbit in September 2016 and hosted three visiting astrpnauts a month later. And a robotic vessel called Tianzhou-1 rendezvoused with Tiangong-2 a few months later, performing several automated docking and refueling operations from April 2017 to September 2017.
The success of these missions apparently has China poised to start building a permanent space station. The nation aims to begin construction and assembly operations next year, and the first crewed missions to the outpost could come in 2022, Chinese space officials have said.
Tiangong-1 is not the biggest spacecraft ever to fall from the sky. That distinction goes to the 140-ton (127 metric tons) Soviet/Russian space station Mir, which was guided to a controlled destruction over the Pacific Ocean in March 2001.
The largest craft ever to come down at least partially uncontrolled is NASA's 100-ton (91 metric tons) space shuttle Columbia, which broke apart as it was returning to Earth on Feb. 1, 2003, killing all seven astronauts aboard. An investigation later pinned the cause of the disaster on a piece of foam insulation from Columbia's external fuel tank, which broke off and punched a hole in the heat shield on the orbiter's left wing during launch, two weeks before the tragedy.
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 (6th to 9th 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
