Apocalyptic Trumpet Sounds in the skies of Hawaii
Apocalyptic Trumpet Sounds in the skies of Hawaii
Not the first time to be heard, this time the strange sounds have been recorded in the skies of Hawaii on April 3, 2018.
Scientific research points to natural causes such as tidal waves, methane explosions, underground earthquakes, or shifting sand dunes as explanations for these aural phenomena which of course is nonsense and misleading.
More believable is the explanation of USGS scientist David Hill who says that although it's probable that these “weird apocalyptic” booming sounds seemingly coming from the skies have an earthly origin.

Date of sighting: April 4, 2018 Location of sighting: Earths sun Source:https://helioviewer.org
This UFO was found by The Watcher of Youtube today. The UFO shows that is a long glowing cylinder and that it left a trail behind it that seems to come from the sun. The UFO was traveling at such a high speed that it appears to be long, but is probably just round or disk like. This is more evidence that UFOs can and do enter and exit our sun. Scott C. Waring
NASA announced Tuesday that it has awarded Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company a $247.5 million contract to build and test a supersonic aircraft that “reduces a sonic boom to a gentle thump.”
This is exciting news for anyone looking to fly cross-continentally in two hours — which, considering the increasingly limited leg room, is really a win for all of us. Work under the Low-Boom Flight Demonstration contract is reportedly underway as of Monday and will continue through Dec. 31, 2021. In a Tuesday press release, NASA added: “Under this contract, Lockheed Martin will complete the design and fabrication of an experimental aircraft, known as an X-plane, which will cruise at 55,000 feet at a speed of about 940 mph and create a sound about as loud as a car door closing, 75 Perceived Level decibel (PLdB), instead of a sonic boom.”
NASA will conduct flight tests after the aircraft is accepted in 2021 to ensure safety standards and affirm the the low-boom supersonic technology is up to par.
“We look forward to applying the extensive work completed under QueSST to the design, build, and flight test of the X-plane, providing NASA with a demonstrator to make supersonic commercial travel possible for passengers around the globe,” Lockheed Martin program manager Peter Iosifidis said in a statement.
The X-plane is expected to take flight over U.S. cities in mid-2022, at which time it will collect data pertaining to community responses to the flights, which is great for those of us uninterested in ear-deafening booms being emitted from our skies. That data will then be shared with officials both in the United States and overseas for further consideration about regulations around supersonic air travel.
More updates on the Low-Boom Flight Demonstration and Lockheed Martin’s concept will no doubt continue to emerge in the coming months.

I've been to Mars and it's full of ALIEN bodies claims lawyer in bid to be US President
I've been to Mars and it's full of ALIEN bodies claims lawyer in bid to be US President
A TOP lawyer who hopes to be the next US president has sensationally claimed he once travelled to Mars as part of a secret space program that he says involved Barack Obama. Andrew Basiago, a trial lawyer who stood as an independent candidate for the US presidential election in 2016, has indicated he will contest the next one from 2020.
But he bizarrely claims that as a child in the 1960s he took part in an alleged CIA programme called Project Pegasus in which he travelled through space and time.
Mr Basiago, who claims time travel has been possible since then, said during his college years in the 1980s, he took part in another CIA project - the Mars Jump Room Program - which was part of an alleged secret space programme to send people to Mars.
Conspiracy theorists claim billions of dollars each year are mysteriously moved from the US Pentagon budget to fund so-called black space projects that have seen humans travel deeper into space than most of us would believe.
The theory claims NASA projects the public learn of are just a diversion from what we are really capable of.
Youtube*Getty
Outlandish claims that man has been to Mars have been made by a lawyer.
He said: "I certainly never saw anything like that on Mars the 40 or so times that I went there 30 to 35 years ago."
However, he said he had written a paper - The Discovery of Life on Mars - in 2008, which had evidence of a mass grave on the Red Planet.
He said: "I show that in a ravine west of the Home Plate in the Gusev Crater on Mars, there was a mass grave of several hundred humanoid bodies, both male and female, clothed in uniform blue clothes suggestive of regimentation.
"So I would urge objectified open mindedness. It's a crazy concept to believe it's not just Earthlings who have been kidnapped here, abducted here on Mars, but there might be children who have been enslaved there.
"The fact there was this ravine full of bodies that could have been an open air cemetery, a place of ritual human sacrifice or some genocide killing field has been in the pub domain now for 10 years, but has largely been ignored, I think because we are to easy to indulge in the giggle factor when those types of facts surface."
In 2008 he submitted the scientific paper which claimed to prove there were an array of creatures and humanoids living on Mars the the National Geographic Society, but they declined on grounds Mr Basiago was just experiencing pareidolia.
In almost identical research to Scott C Waring, editor if Ufosightingsdaily.com, Mr Basiago has spent hours looking at images taken by the NASA Spirit and Curiosity rovers on Mars and felt he spotted living things, NASA had overlooked.
However, pareidolia is when the brain tricks the eyes into seeing familiar objects or shapes in textures or patterns such as clouds or a rock surface.
Each year there are several conferences held around the secret space program, but there is no firm evidence for its existence.
Equally, there is no evidence to suggest any human has landed on Mars.
I show that in a ravine west of the Home Plate in the Gusev Crater on Mars, there was a mass grave of several hundred humanoid bodies, both male and female, clothed in uniform blue clothes suggestive of regimentation.
Andrew Basiago
Mr Basiago made a series of shocking claims during a Q&A with a panel of so-called whistleblowers at the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Symposium.
Mr Basiago introduced himself to the audience as "a trial lawyer admitted at federal and state level in Washington state USA”.
Speaking in a deadpan voice, he said: "I had two different periods of service in the secret space program, time travelling as a child in the late 1960s and early 1970s and going to Mars as a college student in the first half of the 1980s.
“We landed on Mars in 1964 - the documentary source I can cite, but can't proffer is a French external intelligence organisation dossier I was asked to read in the summer of 1980 which was also read by the future President Barack Obama which referred to a crash landing by an American team of astronauts on Mars who perished because they were not rescued by the Martain humanoids."
He was then asked by a woman in the audience who claimed to be an aliencontactee if it were true that there are races of aliens who enslave human adults and children and where they get them from.

Advocaat en oud-presidentskandidaat claimt massagraf te hebben gevonden op Mars. Heeft hij gelijk?
Advocaat en oud-presidentskandidaat claimt massagraf te hebben gevonden op Mars. Heeft hij gelijk?
Een advocaat en oud-presidentskandidaat heeft geclaimd dat hij eens naar Mars is gereisd als onderdeel van een geheim ruimteprogramma.
Hij zei dat hij in de jaren zestig als kind deel uitmaakte van een CIA-programma genaamd Project Pegasus, dat gericht was op tijdreizen.
Tijdens dit programma zouden mensen in het geheim naar Mars zijn gestuurd.
Massagraf
Basiago schreef in 2008 in een paper over leven op Mars dat hij bewijs had gevonden van een massagraf op de rode planeet.
“Ik laat zien dat in een ravijn in de Gusev-krater op Mars een massagraf was met daarin honderden lichamen van mensachtigen, zowel mannelijk als vrouwelijk, gekleed in uniform,” zei hij.
Basiago heeft veel foto’s geanalyseerd die zijn gemaakt door Marsrovers en denkt dingen te hebben gespot die de NASA over het hoofd heeft gezien.
Obama
Hij deed zijn uitspraken tijdens een vraag- en antwoordsessie op het MUFON Symposium.
“Ik deed tot twee keer toe mee aan het geheime ruimteprogramma,” zei Basiago. “Eind jaren zestig en begin jaren zeventig reisde ik als kind door de tijd naar Mars en begin jaren tachtig ging ik er als student naartoe.”
Hij beweert zelfs dat hij in de jaren tachtig samen met een jonge Barack Obama naar Mars is geteleporteerd.
Astronomen denken van wel en sluiten zelfs niet uit dat we het al gezien hebben!
De zoektocht naar buitenaards leven in ons eigen zonnestelsel richt zich momenteel met name op Mars. En ook manen als Titan en Enceladus (behorend bij Saturnus) en Europa (behorend bij Jupiter) worden gezien als goede kandidaten voor leven. Maar in het blad Astrobiology schrijven onderzoekers nu dat we eigenlijk nog een andere kandidaat aan dat lijstje moeten toevoegen: Venus.
Stikheet Zo op het eerste gezicht lijkt dat misschien een vreemde keuze. Want op het oppervlak van Venus is het allesbehalve aangenaam. Zo is het de heetste planeet die ons zonnestelsel rijk is; de gemiddelde temperatuur ligt er rond de 460 graden Celsius! En toch – zo betogen onderzoekers nu in het blad Astrobiology – maakt dat Venus niet per definitie onleefbaar. Want het is goed mogelijk dat organismen zich hoog boven het oppervlak van Venus wel weten te redden. Sterker nog; het zou zomaar kunnen dat we die levensvormen – zonder dat we ons daarvan bewust zijn – al hebben gespot.
Leefbare historie “Venus heeft voldoende tijd gehad om leven te ontwikkelen,” legt onderzoeker Sanjay Limaye uit. Je moet namelijk bedenken dat sommige modellen suggereren dat Venus ooit een leefbaar klimaat had en zelfs vloeibaar water op het oppervlak herbergde. Dat vloeibare water wist mogelijk wel 2 miljard jaar stand te houden. “Dat is veel langer dan vermoedelijk op Mars het geval was,” aldus Limaye.
Extreme plekken Daar komt nog eens bij dat we van onze eigen planeet weten dat leven hoog in de atmosfeer kan gedijen. Zo zijn eerder op tot wel 41 kilometer boven het oppervlak van de aarde organismen aangetroffen (voornamelijk microben). Onderzoek heeft bovendien uitgewezen dat bacteriën onder zeer extreme omstandigheden kunnen gedijen. En waarom zouden ze dat dan ook niet kunnen in de sterk reflecterende en zure atmosfeer van Venus die voornamelijk bestaat uit CO2 en waterdruppels die zwavelzuur bevatten?
Vlekken Leven in de wolken van Venus: het is geen nieuw idee; de beroemde Carl Sagan opperde het in 1967 al. Het idee raakte later wat in de vergetelheid, maar wordt nu nieuw leven in geblazen. Sterker nog: de onderzoekers sluiten niet uit dat we – zonder dat we het ons in eerste instantie realiseerden – al leven op Venus hebben gezien. Ze denken dan aan de mysterieuze, donkere vlekken in de wolken van Venus. “Deze vlekken houden dagenlang stand en veranderen voortdurend van vorm en contrast,” vertelt onderzoeker Sanjay Limaye. Onderzoek heeft uitgewezen dat ze bestaan uit geconcentreerd zwavelzuur en andere onbekende licht absorberende deeltjes. En die laatstgenoemde deeltje zijn ongeveer net zo groot als bacteriën op aarde. Bovendien hebben ze als het om lichtabsorptie gaat grofweg dezelfde eigenschappen als sommige microben op onze planeet. Zouden deze vlekken dan mede uit levensvormen zijn opgebouwd? De onderzoekers sluiten het niet uit. Zo zouden de vlekken het resultaat kunnen zijn van een proces dat grofweg te vergelijken is met algenbloei op aarde.
VAMP.

We moeten erheen! Maar hoe kunnen we erachter komen of de atmosfeer van Venus leven herbergt? Er is eigenlijk maar één mogelijkheid, aldus onderzoeker Rakesh Mogul. “Om het echt te weten te komen, moeten we daar naartoe gaan en de wolken bemonsteren. Venus kan een opwindend nieuw hoofdstuk binnen de astrobiologie worden.”
Het goede nieuws is dat er plannen zijn voor een missie naar Venus. De Russen denken momenteel na over de Venera D-missie. Deze voert naar Venus en zou tegen het eind van het volgende decennium werkelijkheid moeten worden. Mogelijk kan er tijdens deze missie – die bestaat uit een lander en orbiter – nog een derde sonde mee worden gestuurd. De onderzoekers denken dan heel concreet aan VAMP, het Venus Atmospheric Maneuverable Platform dat momenteel nog op de tekentafel ligt. Het is een sonde die vliegt als een vliegtuig, maar zweeft als een blimp (slap luchtschip) en tot wel een jaar in de atmosfeer van Venus kan ronddolen en informatie verzamelen.

In February, two airline pilots while flying over Arizona witnessed something that defied explanation. Was it a UFO or something else?
“The UFO phenomenon is real.” – Edgar Mitchell
Phoenix Lights 1997
I used to live in Phoenix, Arizona for six years. As a matter of fact, I moved there four years after the famous Phoenix Lights incident. In another bit of coincidence, South Mountain, the area where the lights were hovering, was a favorite hiking spot of mine.
Alas, while I lived there and in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I never once saw anything strange in the night skies. The funny thing about the 1997 incident is that everyone came out and debunked it.
There were actually two sightings. According to the Phoenix New Times, the first event occurred at 8:30 p.m. when a V shaped pattern of lights flew north to south over the state.
The second occurrence was the set of nine hovering lights over South Mountain. Many people recorded the incidents and called in to law enforcement. At the time, Fife Symington was the governor and when he went on camera to address the situation, he jokingly had one of his staff members dress up as an alien to defuse any attempt at serious discourse.
Years later, however, Symington admitted that he had also witnessed the lights and that they were in fact, not easily explained away. Interesting enough, the Phoenix New Times had two witnesses who claimed that neither sightings were extraterrestrial.
The large V formation according to Scottsdale resident, Mitch Stanley was actually planes. He was observing them from his high powered Dobsonian telescope. According to him, the planes appeared small and he could see wings. They were traveling at a high altitude and Stanley said, “They were planes. There’s no way I could have mistaken that.”
Phoenix Lights 2015
Supposedly in the second sighting of 1997, the Maryland Air National Guard were performing maneuvers in the South Mountain area that involved dropping flares. Evidently, the type of flares that were used were able to be extinguished one at a time and could hover in perfect symmetry.
Needless to say, segue to 2015 in February and the lights returned again. This time they were sighted in Goodyear near the Estrella Mountains. Several eye witnesses recorded videos.
Flares were again offered up as an explanation along with the possible stacking of planes awaiting touchdown in the city’s Sky Harbor airport. However, this particular incident remains unexplained. Which brings us to the most recent Arizona sighting.
Arizona UFO 2018
CBS News has reported that two airline pilots one flying a Learjet by Phoenix Air and an American Airlines plane were both buzzed by the same UFO. The pilot of the Learjet was the first to encounter the strange object. He immediately radioed the FAA which told him that there were no other aircraft in the sky near him.
Being cautious, the FAA alerted American Airlines Flight 1095 that there was a craft in the area and to keep their eyes open. Soon after that they were also buzzed by the same object. Of course, it was postulated that the object may in fact have been a Google balloon from Project Loon.
After a month, no one has been able to identify what passed over the two aircraft. Even the FAA has no explanation because nothing appeared on their radars. Then what was it? According to Flight 1095, the object had a “big reflection.”
What Is It?
The military or any other agency has not come forward with information. So, if the pilots of two craft are saying that this sighting was not any of the usual suspects (a weather balloon, for example) then what could it be?
In the case of the Phoenix Lights in 1997, the military wasted no time coming forth with an explanation. However, the 2015 sighting and the most recent one remain mysteries.
Listen to the audio below at the :12 second mark and draw your own conclusions:
Furthermore, could this be the case of letting the public think it is a UFO when in reality it is a top-secret government project? What do you think?
Tom DeLonge announces Sekret Machines: Book 2: A Fire Within, the latest in his ongoing UFO fiction series
Tom DeLonge announces Sekret Machines: Book 2: A Fire Within, the latest in his ongoing UFO fiction series
Though fiction, the books are informed by "facts and actual events gleaned from the authors' sources within the scientific, military and intelligence communities"
Ever since a New York Times report from late last year gave some credence to Tom DeLonge’s UFO research and To the Stars Academy, the world has been eying the former Blink-182 member’s activity a bit more closely. Well, slip on those reading glasses, because DeLonge’s got a new book on the way, Sekret Machines: Book 2: A Fire Within. It’s the sequel to 2016’s Sekret Machines: Book 1: Chasing Shadows, and, as the title implies, it’s the second book in a three-part series. Both were co-written with author and professor A.J. Hartley.
Though the books are fiction, DeLonge asserts that they’re informed by “facts and actual events gleaned from the authors’ sources within the scientific, military and intelligence communities surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena.” In multiple interviews, DeLonge has said that the books, as well as the sci-fi films on which he’s currently working in, serve as vessels to slowly introduce the truth regarding UFOs and the government’s method of exploring extraterrestrial life to the general public. That said, he’s also writing a companion non-fiction investigative series into the phenomena that kicked off with last year’s Sekret Machines: Gods.
“One of the largest areas of study when dealing with the UFO phenomenon is consciousness and the human mind,” DeLonge said in a press statement. “A.J. was able to weave that into the storyline with a tapestry of information never before released. He’s providing us with an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and the greatest story never told.”
“Book One focused primarily on the machines themselves–hardware, if you like–but in the second installment of the series we push the story into the gray areas between the normal and the paranormal in more clearly human terms, exploring the idea that as technology might make exponential evolutionary progress, so might people themselves,” added Hartley. “The result continues the story of the first novel, picking up pretty much where it left off, but shifts the tonality of the narrative into new territory, new adventures and new sekrets.”
Cool, now stop spelling secrets that way.
Sekret Machines: Book 2: A Fire Within will be available on September 18th.
Read a plot synopsis below:
A Fire Within continues the story of heiress Jennifer Quinn, journalist Timika Mars, pilot Alan Young and ex-Marine Barry Regis – four people bonded by the incidents they’ve witnessed and who are being hunted by agents of a wealthy corporate cabal desperate for unimaginable power and possessed of extraordinary abilities they don’t understand, much less control. Now the quartet is on a mission of their own: as Alan and Barry test the limits of their strange gifts inside the military complex known as Dreamland, Jennifer and Timika begin a quest to locate an ancient tablet that may hold the answers to humanity’s greatest question: Are we alone in the universe?”

President Ronald Reagan UFO Believer
President Ronald Reagan and personally sighted a UFO when Governor of California and closely followed UFO reports. He stated in his famous speech at the UN General Assembly in September 1987 the following: Significantly
“In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond.
I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside of this world. And yet I ask – is not an alien force already among us?
Reagan’s last question reveals that he did not believe that an alien invasion scenario was something that lay ahead in future decades.
Aliens would interfere with nuclear weapons not because they are dangerous to life here or elsewhere, but because nuclear weapons are a threat to what the aliens wish to collect from Earth.
It has been well documented that for 60 years or more, UFOs have been monitoring nuclear weapons facilities, and in some situations have actively interfered with nuclear weapons. Many UFO researchers have interpreted this as a sign that extraterrestrials were trying to warn humanity of the global threat posed by nuclear weapons. There is also reports of aliens attempting to clean up harmful radiation and even preventing explosions. Indeed, numerous individuals claiming to have been contacted of abducted by extraterrestrials since the 1940s have made a similar point.
Keep in mind that many of the greatest civilizations in human history have been formed, basically, to counter a common enemy. When you look at the great world powers of the globe today, you find a lot of them formed because of the fear of a common enemy.
It was a contingency humanity had to grapple with in the immediate moment – an extraterrestrial presence was already among us. Global unity was an imperative to deal with all the implications of such a presence! It appears that Reagan was secretly briefed about extraterrestrial life, and some of the threats this posed to humanity. It appears he was really warning the world about classified alien secrets withheld from the global public and launched the most expensive defense program to protect humankind? The Ballistic Missile Defense (Star Wars) can be effectively used against UFOs.
A false flag alien invasion scenario was first revealed by Dr. Werner Von Braun a founder of the US Apollo Space Program, to Carol Rosin shortly before the former’s death in 1977. What, however, would be the case if Reagan’s warning was authentic, and extraterrestrials are already here? I know there is much closer cooperation between nations when chasing and confronting UFOs. The news media doesn’t seem to have any reliable inside information concerning this entire field of research.
Are We Supposed To Be Seeing These Things?
What is John Lenard Walson videotaping with his proprietary telescope video cam technique? Are these just satellites or ET spacecraft Or, are we seeing large and very sophisticated spacecraft for the first time that we AREN’T supposed to see? Walson received the following comment about one of the videos:
“Hello again. And, again, my congratulations on your superb astrophotography. MIT Lincoln Laboratory is the group which has built some of the things you are seeing. Much of what they do is what used to be the Star Wars project, which no doubt involves some of your objects.” They examined crashed UFOs held at Wright Patterson AFB and likely back engineered these craft.
The military personnel who are encountering these phenomena tell remarkable stories. In one example, over the course of two weeks in November 2004, the USS Princeton, a guided-missile cruiser operating advanced naval radar, repeatedly detected unidentified aircraft operating in and around the Nimitz carrier battle group, which it was guarding off the coast of San Diego. In some cases, according to incident reports and interviews with military personnel, these vehicles descended from altitudes higher than 60,000 feet at supersonic speeds, only to suddenly stop and hover as low as 50 feet above the ocean. The United States possesses nothing capable of such feats.
On at least two occasions, F-18 fighters were guided to intercept these vehicles and were able to verify their location, appearance and performance. Notably, these encounters occurred in broad daylight and were independently monitored by radars aboard multiple ships and aircraft.
According to naval aviators I have spoken with at length, the vehicles were roughly 45 feet long and white. Yet these mysterious aircraft easily sped away from and outmaneuvered America’s front-line fighters without a discernible means of propulsion.
Russia’s New Missiles
If the origin of these aircraft is a mystery, so is the paralysis of the U.S. government in the face of such evidence. Sixty years ago, when the Soviet Union put the first manmade satellite in orbit, Americans recoiled at the idea of being technologically surpassed by a dangerous rival, and the furor over Sputnik ultimately produced the space race. Americans responded vigorously, and a little more than a decade later, Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. If these craft mean that Russia, China or some other nation is concealing an astonishing technological breakthrough to quietly extend its lead, surely we should respond as we did then.
Perhaps Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent claims about propulsion breakthroughs are not pure braggadocio. Or, if these craft really aren’t from Earth, then the need to figure out what they are is even more urgent. He also said that Russia in December had concluded a multiyear testing cycle for an underwater, nuclear-powered drone. The successful tests, he said, “will allow the development of a complete new type of weapon — a strategic complex of nuclear arms with rockets fitted with a nuclear-propulsion engine that can fly anywhere in the world and attack from any direction.”
On March 18 the 65-year-old Putin was elected to his fourth six-year presidential term since he first took power in 1999. The talk of high-tech weapons, analysts said, suggested to Russian voters that Putin was ensuring their security even if many domestic problems remained to be fixed. Putin claims, “Russia can carry out a global nuclear strike on any point it chooses.”
Recently, media coverage of the issue of unidentified aerial vehicles has focused on an expired $22 million congressional earmark for Bigelow Aerospace, a contractor with ties to former Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid (Nev.). The money mostly funded research and analysis by that contractor, without participation from the Air Force, NORAD or other key military organizations. Thanks to the NY Times.

In 2007, China was able to shoot down a satellite from space. After carefully analyzing U.S. operations in the Persian Gulf, Kosovo and Afghanistan, they believe they have uncovered a significant weakness. The advanced military might of the U.S. is inordinately dependent on a complex network of space-based command, control, communications, and computer-driven intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities that enables American forces to detect different kinds of targets and exchange militarily relevant information and destroy the targets. This network is key to the success of American combat operations.
These assets, however, are soft and defenseless unless the Star Wars craft are in fact operational; while they bestow on the American military definite asymmetric advantages, they are also the source of deep vulnerability. Consequently, Chinese strategists concluded that any effort to defeat the U.S. should aim not at its fundamental strength — its capacity to deliver overwhelming conventional firepower precisely from long distances — but rather at its Achilles’ heel, namely, its satellites and their related ground installations. To confuse matters a steady stream of reports claim we are at war with Reptoid Extra-Terrestrials.
Consistent with these calculations, China and Russia have pursued, for over a decade now, a variety of space warfare programs, which include direct attack and directed-energy weapons, electronic attack, and computer-network and ground-attack systems. These efforts are aimed at giving China and Russia the capacity to attack U.S. space systems comprehensively because these , calculations represent the best way of “leveling the playing field” in the event of a future conflict. On January 8, 2018 – A U.S. spy satellite that was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard a SpaceX rocket on Sunday failed to reach orbit and is assumed to be a total loss. Several US rocket launches have mysteriously exploded with UFOs in the vicinity. A space war may be occurring at this time according to William Tomkins. The Space Shuttle Columbia exploded after encountering a UFO. The Columbia disaster directly led to the retirement of the shuttle fleet in 2011. NASA has no spaceship to send astronauts to and from the International Space Station, but Russia does — and charges roughly $81 million per person to ride a Soyuz to the ISS and back again.
Neutral-particle Beams, May Get a Fresh Look under Michael Griffin
The next thing in space-based weapons could be decades old, according to Michael Griffin, the first defense undersecretary for research and engineering.
“Directed energy is more than just big lasers,” Griffin said. “That’s important. High-powered microwave approaches can effect an electronics kill. The same with the neutral particle beam systems we explored briefly in the 1990s” for use in space-based anti-missile systems. Such weapons can be “useful in a variety of environments” and have the “advantage of being non-attributable,” meaning that it can be hard to pin an attack with a particle weapon on any particular culprit since it leaves no evidence behind of who or even what did the damage.
Like lasers, neutral-particle beams focus beams of energy that travel in straight lines, unaffected by electromagnetic fields. But instead of light, neutral-particle beams use composed of accelerated subatomic particles traveling at near-light speed, making them easier to work. When its particles touché the surface of a target, they takes on a charge that allows them to penetrate the target’s shell or exterior more deeply.
This all makes neutral-particle beams attractive as space-based anti-missile systems. Over the years, various defense companies have released mockups of proposed designs that seem to come out of an issue of Popular Mechanics circa 1950. Thanks to Defense One daily.
Extra-Terrestrial Healing
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was a landmark 1982 movie E.T shown on this poster could heal with a touch of his finger. Another benefit of being part of the empathic group is that E.T. may heal injured members at a much greater distance, without having to touch them.
ET and angels who are visitors from other planets are known to heal people. There are thousands of stories where people have prayed for healing and have healed. Similar stories are told of telepathically asking for healing and being healed. Alice was on her deathbed as a child, and the Doctor visited her and told her parents she would be dead by morning. They prayed and asked for help. The next morning her parents entered her bedroom expecting the worst, but Alice was sitting up in bed asking for breakfast. She told them the angel came and healed her. Now she is older she feels it was ET. Maybe she was right both times.
Many abductees report fibromyalgia and other ailments after being on board craft usually flown by grays.
John Thompson who works in Security and is six feet five inches tall with an excellent physique called me to tell me he had been abducted the previous night. I visited his home where a 25 foot circle was cut into his back lawn showing a depression filled with stones. Tree limbs were broken from the tree above the circle. He was asleep when something woke him up and he looked out the window and saw a 25 foot disc. He stated a couple four foot aliens walked down the ramp of a disc and walked up to the bedroom window. Then they simply walked through the wall and window into John’s bedroom. They grabbed John and took him and kind of floated to the craft. They laid him down and undressed him and held a pen like object and then cut him across his chest from arm pit to arm pit.
After about an hour with some bleeding and pain, they took the pen and reversed the cutting action and closed the wound. They seemed to be searching for something under his skin near his heart and lungs. Later, I called a couple flight surgeons that came and examined John. They verified he had a two foot long scar about a month old and stated, “They had never seen a horizontal wound like that since there was no reason to cut a person like that. We speculated they may have done something to heal his heart. In succeeding weeks ETs frequently showed up in his home. He was willing to go on my TV Show “Investigations UFO” for several months to tell about his encounters. His wife became so upset by the alien visits she decided to divorce him.
A sixty year old Atlantic City lady was abducted with her daughter while driving on the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Pittsburg. Driving along the Pennsylvania Turnpike their car and the car following behind with the daughter’s husband and two children were picked up by a large alien ship. The cars were brought into a garage area with a dozen other cars. They were brought into a large room with human bodies standing upright in large glass containers. They were examined in detail on beds in a room with many other abductees. The grandmother was brought into the room with the bodies housed in round glass two and half feet in diameter. She was shown an attractive blonde twenty year old woman and asked if she would like to become that person. Her soul would be transferred but she would not remember her present life. She declined which made her captors upset. Later, their cars were let down on the Walt Whitman Bridge that crosses the Delaware River into New Jersey. They still had their Turnpike ticket and saved $15 in tolls and the gas tanks were full despite flying 300 miles between Pittsburg and Philadelphia in only two hours.. Both cars had what appeared to be small hand prints on the bodies but were not damaged.
Ongoing extraterrestrial activity is taking place in Israel since 1995. Alien medical teams from other realms or dimensions cure humans at Healers-Mediums alternative medicine clinics. Patients feel strange sensations during the treatments (itching, heat or cold, increase or decrease in gravity sensations and many more) and some even see and communicate with the Aliens medical teams.
The number of clinics has increased steadily and presently there are 50 clinics in Israel and 464 in the USA, (according to the Aliens). Alien alternative medicine clinics also exist in other countries (England, Denmark, Australia ). ET medical activity helps to raise public awareness and increase acceptance of Alien existence. Organized ET medical collaboration with Healers and Mediums is a leap forward in Alien-Human contact and collaboration beyond just UFO sighting, random contacts, encounters, abductions, or crash events as happened in Roswell. The Aliens treat humans in alternative medicine clinics only after the patients give their full consent. No abductions take place. In addition to the Alien medical activity, they willingly collaborate and answer questions on different issues including: information about Aliens and their activity on Earth, general science, astrophysics, and even Earth actuality events.
“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” ~ 3 John 1:2
“And my God will meet all your needs according to his riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 4:19
I was recently in the hospital when my primary artery was drilled through and I bled internally. I was black from my chest to my knees.I was brought very low and the Doctors didn’t think I would make it. Fortunately my wife, my church, hundreds of my friends, people on Facebook prayed for me. The bleeding was stopped with a stent and I’m alive and stronger than ever, but I believe the Lord saved me again! Don’t under estimate the power of prayer.
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Palm 91
Space-Based Weapons
The Pentagon first tested the concept in the late 1980s as part of a program called the Neutral Particle Beam, or NPB. According to a 1990 write up that military scientists sent to lawmakers, explored the possibility of particle beam weapons killing ICBMs and reentry vehicles. They could destroy the missiles in the boost, post-boost, and mid-course portion of an ICBM trajectory as well as discriminated objects during the midcourse phase” — meaning a defensive system that could knock out missiles as they were leaving the launch pad or flying in space toward their target.
UFO Sighting
Dr. Bruce Cornet writes, “This is a very interesting sighting, and is one of the first UFOs I photographed at 10:53 pm on 23 June 1992.” I am updating and adding sightings to Appendix I of my book. There were five anomalous craft flying around Ellen, Rich, and me that night, which was quite an introduction for me to Pine Bush phenomenon. Another sighting later that night (11:22 pm) of a cigar-shaped craft unfolding wings and stabilizers, and pretending to be a Boeing 707, got more attention. But this photo shows the UFO backing up right after I opened the shutter, oscillating movement of its lights, as well as a conventional aircraft (strobes) above it in the background for comparison. It also shows the silhouette of the ground (ridge) and trees. June 8. 1992, 23 (TE): 1 UFO (West Searsville Road. at dogleg bend; 10:53 pm; flew from north to south behind the ridge west of us, low, silently, disappearing behind the ridge) [Cornet, Ellen Crystall, and Rich Pascorella present] These are the first photographs Cornet took of UFOs exhibiting anomalous light signature of oscillations in 1992. http://www.sunstar-solutions.com/AOP/Boeing/boeing07.htm Thanks to Bruce Cornet
Mars Open Pit Mine
There is strong evidence that both our moon and Mars have been mined. Mining is occurring on our Moon and Mars. This appears to be a typical open pit mine. Mars may contain ores that would be very useful to potential colonists. The abundance of volcanic features together with widespread cratering are strong evidence for a variety of ores. The best places on Mars for valuable ores are volcanoes, lava flows and impact craters. – Mars’ different history, crust and atmosphere make it certain that minerals there will be different than those of Earth. – he most abundant chemical elements in the Martian crust, besides silicon and oxygen, are iron, magnesium, aluminum, calcium, and potassium. These elements are major components of the minerals comprising igneous rocks.
Yaw’ or ‘Yahweh’ is marked on the edge of the Mars mine indicating ownership. Interestingly the Hebrew God is spelled YHWH. In the Christian Bible God’s sacred name is spelled Yahweh. Blowing winds do not spell out words. So you can be sure alien intelligence on Mars made the sign. We can also speculate this intelligence came to Earth with sign language as is told in Sumerian, Hebrew and Egyptian ancient writings. Thanks to European Space Agency images.
Cylinder UFO Caught By Mars Curiosity Rover
The images released by Mars Curiosity Rover show what appears to be a very large cylindrical shaped UFOtraveling in the Martian night sky. The UFO appears in a sequence of five images over a ten minute period with the time stamp of April 28, 2014. Stephen Hannard
The images were uploaded on April 30 by NASA, and immediately aroused the attention of UFO researchers monitoring the Curiosity Rover camera feeds which are regularly released on a website owned by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, located at the California Institute of Technology.
Scott Waring from UFO Sightings Daily wrote the images are not a result of time lapse photography and appear to show a huge self-propelled craft traveling in a uniform direction. The first researcher to identify the cylindrical UFO was Waring who in his blog post dismissed the idea that the object was due to time lapse: The shape of the UFO is just as we see it, is a slow moving long cigar shaped. None of the Mars orbiters are cylindrical in shape or very large.
“The Day the Earth Stood Still”
I happened to meet Michael Rennie while sitting next to him on a flight from Los Angeles to Chicago. I was in my uniform, and he was very friendly talking about his frequent work with the US Air Force and that he had made many movies and training films for the Air Force. He asked if I had seen his picture “The Day the Earth Stood Still”, because it was very important and contained an Earth saving message. He implied the US Air Force had helped in making the film with shots of UFOs. The interior of the disc in the film for 1951 had some surprising technology. It was a warning about nuclear weapons and a warning the Earth would be destroyed if we move off the planet with weapons. Michael Rennie played Klaatu an alien who comes to Earth and is helped by a huge robot and Patricia Neal who plays Helen Benson.
The movie script states: “Helen Benson: I need to know what’s happening.
Klaatu: This planet is dying. The human race is killing it.
Helen Benson: So you’ve come here to help us.
Klaatu: No, *I* didn’t.
Helen Benson: You said you came to save us.
Klaatu: I said I came to save the Earth.
Helen Benson: You came to save the Earth… from us. You came to save the Earth *from* us.
Klaatu: We can’t risk the survival of this planet for the sake of one species.
Helen Benson: What are you saying?
Klaatu: If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives. There are only a handful of planets in the cosmos that are capable of supporting complex life.
Helen Benson: You can’t do this.
Klaatu: …this one can’t be allowed to perish.
Helen Benson: We can change. We can still turn things around.
Klaatu: We’ve watched, we’ve waited and hoped that you *would* change.
Helen Benson: Please…
Klaatu: It’s reached the tipping point. We have to act.
Helen Benson: Please…
Klaatu: We’ll undo the damage you’ve done and give the Earth a chance to begin again.
Helen Benson: Don’t do this. Please, we can change. We can change.
Klaatu: The decision is made. The process has begun.

Filer’s Files #13 – 2018 President Reagan Saw UFOs - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
Arizona Light
Tucson-March 15, 2018, My husband was inside the house when I was outside in our back yard taking pictures of a star right below the object that appeared out of nowhere . It was strange because I didn’t see the object in the lens of my phone as I took the pic. I noticed it afterwards as I looked at my pictures. I never saw it in the sky. The first photo does not show the object and the third photo doesn’t show the object I added them to show you the before and after. I tried to blow up the photo in the last two pics. The time says 8:01 and 8:02. I must of started clicking seconds before it changed to 8:02 . The after pic is 8:05. I was viewing my pics in between that time. When I saw the object in my photos I hurried and started to click some more pics to see if the object would appear again and it didn’t . The object is not seen coming or going. I don’t think anything was on my lens because it would have shown on the other photos. I was facing the south direction of my house and my house is on the edge of the southeast part of Tucson. I do believe the same day the ISS passed over Arizona, only I am not sure what time and if I could even get a view of it at 8.00 pm, at night. On the map it shows that the ISS would have been far north of me or far west depending on where it was at the time. My husband and I have been noticing a very huge bright star or object, or planet in the sky (not sure it changes colors and seems to have moved in a very slow speed going west to east. We have been keeping track of it for two weeks now. It has slowly changed its location. This was the same star that I was trying to photograph when this other unidentifiable object appeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Object
Eagle Rock — I was walking my dog up Fair Park Avenue on March 24, 2018, on a nice afternoon and I had never seen this view of Eagle Rock so I decided to take a photo of the actual rock in the distance. As I framed up the photo I thought. You may not be able to recognize the rock in the distance. I take the photo, immediately select it and enlarge it to see if you can recognize the Eagle Rock in the background. As I enlarged it I see this spec and was startled. Seconds later I look up and there is nothing there. I never actually saw it, only in the picture. There was no noise. It was strange enough that I felt compelled to put it right into social media. I knew enough about cameras that if it was a spec on my lens that it wouldn’t look like this. It would be blurry and not hard edges, and pixilation when enlarged. I even did an experiment later that day. I put a rather large piece of black pepper in the center of my lens and took a pic of the sky. It was so blurry that the camera basically focuses around it. When I flip through my iPhone still photos there is a split second of video of the object covering a ton of ground in the tiny moment! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
Marco — I was outside throwing the football with my two young boys on March 17, 2018, and noticed two vessels in the sky traveling towards one another. I took a closer look and realized these objects were very far away but really large. They were traveling towards one another at a very close distance apart like they could crash. It look like an (Advil with lights on the side but white lights were yellow and orange.) Normally aircraft don’t fly directly towards each other. The larger was traveling north and the smaller was traveling south. They both basically disappeared. After posting on Facebook my fire chief told me that I should contact you. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Hawaii Lights
Kahului— I was driving on Hana Highway when I spotted an object up in the sky and could not figure out what it was so I took a picture of it on February 18, 2018. As you can see in photo it was a very clear morning with no clouds what so ever.
Time was about 8 am and I did not stop to watch it. I just took the picture thinking it would not come out or that I was just imagining what I was seeing.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Louisiana Streak
Port Arthur — I was going back to my RV and I looked up at the stars on March 27, 2018, and saw something move. I saw it moving across the sky silently and I said well that must be a satellite and then it stopped. When it stopped a small white object came out and flew in the direction that the larger one had come from. I pointed my green laser at it and it stopped. It stayed still until I turned away. I’m not sure what it is on the video. When I stopped filming then it just ascended and went out of view slowly. I’m out here on the Gulf Coast working. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Minnesota Disc
Nimrod — This picture was taken on a 4th of July camping trip in 2011 on the Crow Wing River in Nimrod, Minnesota.
I was looking South down the river. I did not notice the object when I took the picture. I only discovered it when I was going through old photos this week. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nebraska Star
Moncton — His “star” seemed to really want to get my attention. The flashing lights were very noticeable against the night sky so I thought it would be interesting to try out my new camera. As I zoomed in, it was apparent that the star was changing shape as well as color. I didn’t observe any movement other than the rapid flashing of lights. I was able to capture this on video but unfortunately I didn’t have a tripod which resulted in camera shake. From this video, I screen grabbed some stills and enlarged the images. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Triangle
Dallas— Shortly after taking off on Spirit Airlines from Dallas around 6:30 am on March 18, 2018. I was taking photos of the sunrise. There was a little dot that I was attracted to but to me it seemed to be one of the city lights. I kept snapping photos to get the sunrise and the city lights. I took 12 photos total. When I got home and reviewed the photos I saw the last three had a glowing green triangle. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Lights
Everett – A sphere was observed flying above 500 feet altitude under cloud cover.
The sphere was captured on March 17, 2018, flying in a straight line path.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Canada Light
Scarborough — I have another fascinating UFO sighting to share on March 24, 2018. This report reveals a second UFO appearing and disappearing on film. When you examine the footage on full screen and slow speed to 0.25 at the 42 second mark in the clip, you will clearly see a second white UFO appear and disappear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtRB2HIvu1M&t=23s
Campbell River — On balcony taking photos of the mountain range 2. Did not notice when taking photos 3. I was sliding through photos when I noticed the motion. When you slide the photo you see its trajectory coming from the lower left of the photo. 4. The object looks like a cylinder and when you slide the photo it’s almost a blur coming up from the lower left of the photo. 5. I was surprised and happy I caught it. I didn’t see it when I took the photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ecuador Light
Jipijapa— A good friend shared these pictures of reddish orange disc that had just flown away from very close to his terrace. He had seen it the day before, about 11pm when it came up close to his home. He saw bursts of light and saw this circular object emitting a red orange glow, coming straight toward him. He called his wife and daughter in law and all watched in awe, until he got scared and started screaming. Neighbors listening to the screaming came out and also witnessed the craft. He took photos with his Samsung phone of the craft that was 1000 yards to the right of the moon. In the third picture the object flew to the left side of the moon.
In my area Bahia de Caraquez, on the central coast of Ecuador, we have had many sightings. One he was able to see the underbelly of a craft while sitting on the beachfront at about 7pm. One night his car suddenly stopped and all lights turned off. The lights on the disc started rotating around faster and faster and it flew off suddenly. Thanks to MUFON CMS
France Object
Santes — After discovering your existence while watching BTLV, my partner and I decided to share our observation made 10 years ago! On July 6, 2008. we went to our garden in the afternoon. My son (4 years old), my spouse and I looked at the strange “behavior” of a bird. Its wings seemed stuck to its body! He began to spin and maneuver without flapping his wings. I called my spouse and told him to look, but we were unable to determine what it was, It had an oval black shape that was not normal so I only get two shots as it flew northwest! This phenomenon was very strange and significant! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Italy Disc
Rome – A video was taken of a disc shaped object flying near the Vatican during the last week.
There is some question how the video captured the disc shaped object from the angle higher than the craft.
I have no details on how or who made the video. Also the disc shape is very unusual.
Spain Light
Santa Ponsa — I was sitting on the top floor of our five story building watching the Pleiades at 12:11 AM, on March 27, 2018. Suddenly I noticed a blinking powerful white light hovering above me in slow motion. The object was 80º above the horizon flying south. Some flashes were with less power than others, but the white light was pure and very clean. The object seemed to be taking photographs of the area. It was 3000 – 3500 feet away (~900 – 1000m.) I took my phone and I’ve started recording this light on video. I’ve got a two minute video of this object. The object changes its direction from South to East moving at 5 – 8 km/h) and vanished. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Sweden Lights
Årjäng — My friend and I were standing on the back porch of another friend’s house when we noticed six bright lights in the sky on March 24, 2018. They moved from the southwest to northeast before disappearing from view. We were both astonished by what we saw. They were moving at a steady pace and kept the same distance from each other. They seemed to move slightly faster than the average airplane. They shone with a very bright and intense orange light that was steady and did not flicker or dim. We saw them for four minutes and then they disappeared. I took some shots with my phone.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Turkey Object
Aegean Sea – I just flew from over Izmir and Khios, heading into Athens around 4.30pm on 21 March 2018. An object appears to be flying away at right angles from our commercial jet and somehow without either of us appearing to turn we end up almost following it. This is Kerry Forides; please share analyze, chop, enhance, stabilize, etc as I would love to know what I filmed and please refer to my Kerry Camerawork’s page as I am about educating in human nature sustainability and heritage food abundance by design. It is important to me to do something that gives back so our future generations can live in harmony with nature. If you make money from this clip a small kick back would be nice I’m at kerryforides@gmail.com.Video credit: Kerry Forides https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZmf5…
UK/England Light
Whitten — I was taking a moon picture and noticed a blue light on March 29, 2018. I went on to take the moon picture and can be seen on picture. Then walked little bit away and took another picture, which is more clear.
This happened few minutes ago, Uk/London time 1:00 am. I took the picture through my front door looking southeast.
My address is Whitten, tw3 2lp. (London). I wish I could know what I saw. Kind Regards Archie C Antil

NASA is really blurring the lines between science and fiction with this year’s NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) competition.
For Phase I, the space agency just chose 25 early-stage tech proposals that could make the stuff of sci-fi a reality with robotic swarms, spacecraft that change shape depending on what extraterrestrial cave or ocean they are heading to, and other visionary ideas that you may have trouble separating them from whatever sci-fi series you’ve been binge-watching on YouTube lately.
Here are some of the most mind-blowing things to emerge from the brains of contestants:
Shapeshifters exploring Kraken Mare by self-assembling/disassembling to different shapes.
Credits: Ali Agha, Jose Mendez, JPL
Shapeshifters (shown above) don’t just live in sci-fi and horror movies. These flying amphibious robots (FARs) meant to explore the methane lakes and subsurface oceans of Titan were brainstormed by NASA JPL scientist Aliakbar Aghamohammadi, who proposed a bot that can go from flying to rolling to floating, swimming and cave diving. Behind the shifting technology are cobots, mini robots which recombine to change the shape—something like autonomous Legos.
Graphic depiction of Biobot: Innovative Offloading of Astronauts for More Effective Exploration
Credits: D. Akin
How do you take weight off a spacesuit? You make a robot carry the portable life support system (PLSS) around. Wearing an extra 310 poundscan restrict how much of the mission astronauts can actually accomplish, even in low-gravity zones. BioBots can relieve their human companions of some of that weight by connecting to them with an umbilical cord and traveling with them. We’re going to need these if we have any intention of flying back to the moon.
Graphic depiction of Marsbee - Swarm of Flapping Wing Flyers for Enhanced Mars Exploration

If Swarm of Flapping Wing Flyers for Enhanced Mars Exploration doesn’t sound like the most awesome thing ever, then a bumblebee-sized flyer that hovers over the surface of the Red Planet definitely does. These insectile bots that scientist Chang-kwon Kang calls “bioinspired flapping vehicles” would buzz through the Martian atmosphere with wings the size of of a cicada’s and collect samples from the regolith. Like flying insects, they also weigh next to nothing, meaning they would add minimal weight toa spacecraft’s payload.
Graphic depiction of BALLET: BALloon Locomotion for Extreme Terrain
Credits: H. Nayar
Another genius acronym, BALLET is a balloon platform with six “feet” (which double as payloads) that crawl over terrain which would probably shred your average rover. The underside of the balloon is equipped with a camera to navigate. Five of these feet, which are each tethered to the balloon with three cables to keep it from drifting away, are supposed to stay grounded while one at a time “walks” over a planetary surface in a bizarre sort of space ballet.

So maybe humans aren’t zooming over to Proxima Centauri (yet), but scientist Chris Limbach of Texas A&M University has dreamed up a spacecraft that would literally beam itself over. This “Diffractionless Beamed Propulsion for Breakthrough Interstellar Missions” beats laser propulsion because of an innovative beam design that drastically amps the distance over which it accelerates while reducing the beam size. It would be unreal to see this thing in action, shooting through millions of miles of darkness to the next galaxy over, but it could also explore closer mysteries like the Oort cloud.

One of NASA’s current obsessions is ocean worlds like Europa, Titan and Enceladus, and this steampunk bot would be able to use propulsive hopping to get to the most interesting targets.

X-ray radiation may strip away alien life from many Earth-like planets, says study
X-ray radiation may strip away alien life from many Earth-like planets, says study
Intense X-ray radiation could eliminate the possibility of alien life on many Earth-like planets, by stripping away the ozone layer and rendering them uninhabitable, a study has found.
The astronomers are working to establish what the flare did to the known giant planet and any hypothetical planets further out.
Intense X-ray radiation could eliminate the possibility of alien life on many Earth-like planets, by stripping away the ozone layer and rendering them uninhabitable, a study has found. Astronomers now know of around 4,000 planets in orbit around other stars. A handful of these are both Earth-sized and in the habitable zones of the stars they orbit, where the temperature is right for liquid water. However, many candidate Earth-sized worlds are in orbit around red dwarf stars, much smaller and cooler than our own. To be in the habitable zone, the planets need to be much closer to their stars than we are to the Sun.
The problem, however, is that red dwarfs can produce significant X-ray emission, and often have large flares of radiation and eruptions of particles in so-called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). To try to assess the risk, researchers at the Thueringer Observatory in Germany are intensively monitoring low-mass stars where flares might take place. In February, they observed a giant flare from the star AD Leo, located 16 light years away in the constellation of Leo. AD Leo has a giant planet orbiting three million kilometres away (fifty times closer than the Earth to the Sun), and it may have Earth-sized worlds further out in its habitable zone.
The astronomers are working to establish what the flare did to the known giant planet and any hypothetical planets further out. Their initial results suggest the giant planet was unaffected, and that unlike similar events on the Sun, the radiation flare was not accompanied by a CME. This is potentially good news for life further out, as CMEs are thought to have a role in stripping away the atmosphere of smaller planets. From their monitoring, the team believe CMEs are generally less common in smaller stars. On the other hand, the X-ray radiation is dangerous. According to researchers, these would cut through the atmosphere and reach the surface of an Earth-like planet. Life on land would be badly affected by a stellar flare and might only survive in the oceans.
“Astronomers are mounting a global effort to find Earth-like worlds, and to answer the age-old question of whether we are alone in the universe,” said Eike Guenther of the Thueringer Observatory. “With sporadic outbursts of hard X-rays, our work suggests planets around the commonest low-mass stars are not great places for life, at least on dry land,” Guenther said. The next stage for the research group is to refine the details of their model. Some scientists suggest that giant radiation flares could deplete the ozone layer of a planet by 94 per cent for two years and could even be fatal for all life. If they are right, then talk of ‘Earth 2.0’ may be premature.
NASA has announced an unusual idea for exploring Titan, Saturn's largest moon: a shapeshifting robot that could both fly and swim while exploring its surface.
The robot, called Shapeshifter, is one of 25 ideas that NASA has decided to invest in during a current round of funding meant to support early-stage space exploration technology, called NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts funding. Scientists consider Titan a fairly strong contender among places where we might find extraterrestrial life.
Shapeshifter and 15 additional projects tackling other space exploration challenges were each awarded about $125,000 to spend over nine months. That money is meant to see them through analyzing the basic feasibility of a project.
A conspiracy theorist has claimed that the Nasa live stream from the International Space Station has produced evidence of seven UFOs lingering above Earth.
Not only is this thought to be proof of ET's existence, the theorist believes the aliens are probably friendly.
With so many 'sightings' from the ISS, the beings could come face-to-face with humans in 15 years, claims the unknown conspiracy theorist known only as 'Graham'.

A conspiracy theorist has claimed that the Nasa live stream from the International Space Station has produced evidence of UFOs lingering above Earth
The UFO-tracking conspiracy theorist told the Daily Star that aliens are here and making their way to us.
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.'
The evidence presented by Graham was obtained during a live feed from the ISS on March 31.
He then uploaded the edited footage to his YouTube channel Conspiracy Depot.
It was revealed that the UFOs were observed between 11:20 pm BST and 11:50 pm BST.
With so many 'sightings' from the ISS, these UFOs could house friendly beings that will come face-to-face with humans in 15 years, claims conspiracy theorist
More worrying than the claims of nearby, unknown powerful beings of unknown origin is the belief that we will soon be directly interacting with the aliens.
Graham 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.
The unknown conspiracy theorist known only as 'Graham' claims the unknown powerful beings of unknown origin is the belief that we will soon be directly interacting with the aliens
Graham believes that the anomalies are proof of UFOs. Some people have suggested that it could have been the Tiangong-1 space station reentering Earth's atmosphere instead
'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.'
Many have attempted to discredit the claims, saying that the anomalies could be fragments of the Tiangong-1 Chinese space station in one of its last orbits around Earth.
Whilst UFO conspiracies are commonplace, and increasing in frequency, there's almost always a simple explanation.
There are a number of common phenomena that can cause strange objects to appear in ISS footage, including lightning storms high over Earth's surface and tricks of the light.
In the past, a Nasa spokesperson has explained to Dailymail.com: 'Reflections from station windows, the spacecraft structure itself or lights from Earth commonly appear as artifacts in photos and videos from the orbiting laboratory.'
In a previous statement to MailOnline Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said: 'Nasa can't win when it comes to dealing with UFOs.'
He added: 'Even if it was debris, it doesn't turn it into a extraterrestrial scoutship filled with tentacled aliens.'
Multiple specks on the screen of the ISS live stream is 'proof' of extra-terrestrial visitors to Earth's orbit, claims Graham
WHAT IS THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION?
The International Space Station (ISS) is a $100 billion (£80 billion) science and engineering laboratory that orbits 250 miles (400 km) above Earth.
It has been permanently staffed by rotating crews of astronauts and cosmonauts since November 2000.
The space station is currently home to two Russians, three Americans and one Japanese.
Research conducted aboard the ISS often requires one or more of the unusual conditions present in low Earth orbit, such as low-gravity or oxygen.
The International Space Station (file photo) is a $100 billion (£80 billion) science and engineering laboratory that orbits 250 miles (400 km) above Earth
ISS studies have investigated human research, space medicine, life sciences, physical sciences, astronomy and meteorology.
The US space agency, Nasa, spends about $3 billion (£2.4 billion) a year on the space station program, a level of funding that is endorsed by the Trump administration and Congress.
A U.S. House of Representatives committee that oversees Nasa has begun looking at whether to extend the program beyond 2024.
Alternatively the money could be used to speed up planned human space initiatives to the moon and Mars.
Commercial pilots reported two separate UFO sightings over Arizona not far from Roswell, New Mexico.
Tony Sokol
Unidentified Flying Objects have been reported by such reliable sources as Ezekiel, who saw the wheel, through George Washington, to John Lennon and ex-President Jimmy Carter. Although, to be fair, a Man in Black on The X-Files pointed out that it was proven the former leader of our United States of America only saw the planet Venus. Two commercial aircraft pilots added to the growing dossier on possible alien craft when they issued two reports within minutes of each other on the afternoon of February 24.
The Federal Aviation Administration released radio traffic from pilots of an American Airlines flight and a Learjet skipper, who reported a UFO over southern Arizona last month, according to CNN. The mysterious encounter happened not far from Roswell, N.M., the site of the reported 1947 UFO crash that started flying saucer mania.
The FAA offered no explanation for the mysterious bright object the pilots saw.
"Was anybody, uh, above us that passed us like 30 seconds ago?" the CNNreport quotes the Learjet pilot asking.
Controller: "Negative"
Pilot: "Okay. It's a UFO!"
Controller: (laughing) "Yeah."
The tapes capture the controller warning another pilot.
Controller: "American 1095, uh, let me know if, uh, you see anything pass over you here in the next, uh, 15 miles."
Pilot: "Let you know if anything passes over?"
Controller: "American 1095, affirmative. We had an aircraft in front of you that reported something pass over him and, uh, we didn't have any targets. So just, uh, let me know if you see anything pass over you."
Pilot: "Alright."
Not long after the warning the commercial pilot confirmed the controller’s calculated trajectory of the object.
Pilot: "Hey, it's American 1095. Yeah, something just passed over us. I don't know what it was, but at least 2,000-3,000 feet above us. Yeah, it passed right over the top of us."
In an interview with Abilene, Texas TV station KTAB/KRBC-TV, the American Airlines pilot Blenus Green, a retired B-1 pilot who has been flying for 20 years, said the object was flying at about 40,000 feet. American Airlines Flight 1095, an Airbus A321, was flying from San Diego to Dallas. The object was seen over the Sonoran Desert between Picacho and Mammoth. Near the border with New Mexico, the area is home to three air force bases: Holloman, Davis-Monthan, and Luke, as well as Fort Huachuca, which berths unmanned aircraft units.
American Airlines referred all questions to the FAA.
"We have a close working relationship with a number of other agencies and safely handle military aircraft and civilian aircraft of all types in that area every day, including high-altitude weather balloons," the FAA spokesperson said.
The veteran American Airlines flyer said he wasn't sure "whether it was a balloon or whatnot." He said it had "a big reflection" and was "traveling several thousand feet above us, going the opposite direction."
The sighting follows a recent video footage upload from the independent research group To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science that captured a high-speed chase and some very excited Naval pilots.
Reward offered for return of stolen UFO alien grave marker in Texas
Legend has it that about 120 years ago, a spacecraft or airship of some sort crashed in the small town of Aurora northwest of Fort Worth and that the body of a little space man is buried in the cemetery there.

Reward offered for return of stolen UFO alien grave marker in Texas
BY GORDON DICKSON
AURORA, TEXAS
A Dallas lawyer is offering $1,000 for the return of a grave marker stolen from a cemetery in the small Texas city of Aurora where, according to local legend, the remains of an alien killed in a UFO crash were buried.
Stratton Horres, a Dallas civil defense attorney, said he doesn't necessarily believe the reported April 17, 1897, crash in the tiny city about 27 miles north of downtown Fort Worth involved an aircraft from outer space — or that there was even a crash at all. But he enjoys reading about and researching stories of unidentified flying objects, and wants to see if his financial offer might turn up some evidence one way or the other.
"It's a legend that persists after 120 years. It's pretty remarkable," Horres said in a phone interview. "I'm skeptical but would love to find some evidence that something has happened that we could not explain."
The grave marker was stolen in 1972, around the time that the nonprofit Mutual UFO Network published an investigative piece about the Aurora incident. A replacement marker also was stolen in 2012, said Aurora city administrator Toni Wheeler, a longtime area resident.
The marker was an asymmetrical stone that featured a crude etching of the cigar-shaped aircraft with three holes.
Today, the gravesite is marked only by a boulder, although some visitors to the cemetery have used ink to inscribe the rock with messages such as "Rest in peace, my alien brother." A small wooden cross and flowers also were seen at the gravesite during a recent visit.
On April 17, 1897, a story attributed to Aurora cotton buyer S.E. Haydon appeared in The Dallas Morning News: “About 6 o’clock this morning the early risers of Aurora were astonished at the sudden appearance of the airship which has been sailing through the country.”
The story went on to explain that an aircraft smacked into a windmill just a few hundred feet north of what is now Texas 114 and crashed into a field.
Supposedly, the pilot — who many people in the town have referred to by the nickname "Ned" for decades — was buried in the town cemetery.
The incident occurred six years before the Wright brothers’ historical first human flight at Kitty Hawk, N.C., and nearly 50 years before the much more famous unidentified flying object reportedly crashed in Roswell, N.M.
Horres said he got the idea for offering a reward after visiting the cemetery on a whim on a recent Saturday. He encountered a father and young son who also were visiting the site, and shared with them tidbits of information he had read about the Aurora UFO incident during his research.
"Another generation will remember that story because of that visit," he said..
If someone comes forward with the grave marker, Horres said he will not pursue criminal charges.
"It will be no questions asked. I don't want anyone to feel like they were in trouble," he said.
Horres said he will hire an investigator he uses for legal cases to oversee an investigation of the grave marker, possibly including a study into who did the etchings of the grave marker and where the stone material came from.
Once that work is complete, Horres said he will consider donating the grave marker to either Aurora city officials or the local cemetery association, or otherwise taking steps to ensure it is kept safely for future generations.
"It would be for the return and examination to the original gravesite, for everyone to see it."
Anyone wishing to contact Horres to discuss the reward or other aspects of the case may email stratton.horres@wilsonelser.com.
Officials in Aurora were unaware of Horres' interest in the grave marker, but would be delighted if he turned up any evidence new or old, Wheeler said.
Two years ago, the city held an Aurora Alien Encounter to celebrate the anniversary of the reported crash. A subsequent encounter event was canceled after the 2017 death of UFO researcher and former Star-Telegram reporter Jim Marrs, who created a documentary about the Aurora incident and wrote and spoke extensively about President Kennedy's assassination and numerous conspiracies.
This year, the city will host a more toned-down event to celebrate the 121st anniversary of the reported UFO crash, with a memorial service for Marrs and a tour of the cemetery and area near the crash site, she said. This year's event is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. April 28, and more information can be found on the city's Facebook page. Later, additional information will be provided on the city's website.
HERE’S THE MIND-BOGGLING REASON WE PROBABLY WON’T MEET ALIENS WHILE THEY’RE STILL ALIVE
HERE’S THE MIND-BOGGLING REASON WE PROBABLY WON’T MEET ALIENS WHILE THEY’RE STILL ALIVE
Space empires could rise and fall without us knowing.
The search for alien life goes on, but our chances of hearing from extraterrestrial beings that are still alive are very slim, according to new research.
The problem is that civilisations likely don’t last as long as signals travelling through space.
These latest calculations are an update of the legendary Drake equation, first proposed in 1961 by Frank Drake at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia, as a shorthand way of calculating how much alien life could be out there.
Using variables such as the number of stars born each year, the number of potentially habitable planets they have, and the chances of organic life developing, the equation gives us some idea of the likelihood of receiving signals from beyond Earth.
A model of signal spread.
(arXiv.org)
And according to the newly updated numbers, it’s not looking promising.
“If the civilisation emitted from the other side of the galaxy, when the signal arrives here, the civilisation will already be gone,” one of the team, Claudio Grimaldi from the Federal Polytechnical School of Lausanne in Switzerland, told Lisa Grossman at Science News.
The research team also includes Frank Drake himself, now professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Each of the variables in the Drake equation are open to debate, but the scientists assumed a civilisation lifespan of 100,000 years as a marker, which is how long it takes light to cross the galaxy. Even an alien empire that lasted that long would only fill “a small fraction” of the galaxy with signals, the study determines.
For reference, we’ve been sending signals out into space for 80 years now, and those rippling signals will only have covered under 0.001 percent of the Milky Way.
What’s more, given the frequency of the signals we send out into space, an alien civilisation would need to be within 50 light-years for us to have heard back from them at this point, the researchers found.
While a hardy group of aliens who survived longer than 100,000 years could fill the galaxy with bouncing signals, there could again be gaps if new civilisations don’t spring up often enough to fill them, the data shows.
Another interesting finding was that the number of extraterrestrial signals crossing Earth at any one time should correspond to the number of civilisations currently broadcasting, whether or not the signals we’re hearing are from past or current civilisations. The researchers are still writing up their thoughts on that one.
The aim of all these calculations is to get a better perspective on our lack of contact with alien lifeforms so far. Is it because no one else is out there? Or is it because we just have a very low chance of hearing anything?
Eventually the researchers hope that the revised Drake equation can help us improve our chances of finding radio signals in space, perhaps through an improved understanding of where to point our telescopes.
This is still all preliminary though – the paper produced by the team has yet to be peer-reviewed by other scientists, though it is available online.
For now though, we shouldn’t expect to be hearing signals from alien lifeforms that are still around – at least not with an assumed civilisation lifespan of 100,000 years.
“The transmissions arriving at Earth may come from distant civilisations long extinct, while civilisations still alive are sending signals yet to arrive,” write the researchers.

India Loses Contact with New Communications Satellite Just Days After Launch
India Loses Contact with New Communications Satellite Just Days After Launch
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
The Indian Space Research Organisation successfully launched the GSAT-6A communications satellite on March 29, 2018, on a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket, but lost contact with the satellite on March 30.

India lost contact with a communications satellite only days after the country launched the craft into space, according to multiple media reports and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Recovery efforts are ongoing as India faces its second possible mission failure in less than a year.
GSAT-6A initially launched as planned on a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket Thursday (March 29) from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, near the Bay of Bengal on India's southeast coast. At first, the satellite behaved normally, but then ISRO lost contact with GSAT-6A at an undisclosed time on March 31 (Indian time). Communications ceased after the satellite finished the second of three planned engine-firings meant to raise its orbital altitude around Earth.
The engine at first fired as planned for 53 minutes, ISRO said on its website yesterday (April 1). But then, GSAT-6A went silent. "When the satellite was on course to normal operating configuration for the third and the final firing, scheduled for April 1, 2018, communication from the satellite was lost," ISRO officials said in a statement.
The Times of India said that communications ceased only minutes after the second engine burn. "The agency received data from the satellite for about 4 minutes after the second orbit-raising operation, after which … it [satellite communications] went blank, a source said," the Times wrote yesterday (April 1).
ISRO is trying to re-establish the link. "The Mission Control is on the job continuously," said ISRO chair Kailasavadivoo Sivan, who only recently assumed that position, in another report from the Times. He added that data ISRO received shows it is possible to recover the satellite, but he did not offer specifics.
GSAT-6A was supposed to last 10 years and provide mobile communications in both S-band (microwave) and C-band (radio) frequencies, according to the Times. The satellite was also meant to improve communications for armed forces working in remote areas; in zones with little cellphone service, the military could receive satellite data using handheld ground terminals that would connect to this satellite.
Last week's launch marked the second possible mission failure since August 2017. At that time, a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket placed the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) 1H satellite into a lower-than-expected orbit. The satellite also remained stuck inside the rocket's payload fairing, which failed to deploy, according to multiple media reports in India.
The August incident was the first PSLV failure since September 1997, when the fourth stage of a PSLV put the IRS-1D remote sensing satellite into a lower orbit than planned.

Ever since a New York Times report from late last year gave some credence to Tom DeLonge’s UFO research and To the Stars Academy, the world has been eying the former Blink-182 member’s activity a bit more closely. Well, slip on those reading glasses, because DeLonge’s got a new book on the way, Sekret Machines: Book 2: A Fire Within. It’s the sequel to 2016’s Sekret Machines: Book 1: Chasing Shadows, and, as the title implies, it’s the second book in a three-part series. Both were co-written with author and professor A.J. Hartley.
Though the books are fiction, DeLonge asserts that they’re informed by “facts and actual events gleaned from the authors’ sources within the scientific, military and intelligence communities surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena.” In multiple interviews, DeLonge has said that the books, as well as the sci-fi films on which he’s currently working in, serve as vessels to slowly introduce the truth regarding UFOs and the government’s method of exploring extraterrestrial life to the general public. That said, he’s also writing a companion non-fiction investigative series into the phenomena that kicked off with last year’s Sekret Machines: Gods.
“One of the largest areas of study when dealing with the UFO phenomenon is consciousness and the human mind,” DeLonge said in a press statement. “A.J. was able to weave that into the storyline with a tapestry of information never before released. He’s providing us with an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and the greatest story never told.”
“Book One focused primarily on the machines themselves–hardware, if you like–but in the second installment of the series we push the story into the gray areas between the normal and the paranormal in more clearly human terms, exploring the idea that as technology might make exponential evolutionary progress, so might people themselves,” added Hartley. “The result continues the story of the first novel, picking up pretty much where it left off, but shifts the tonality of the narrative into new territory, new adventures and new sekrets.”
Cool, now stop spelling secrets that way.
Sekret Machines: Book 2: A Fire Within will be available on September 18th.
Read a plot synopsis below:
A Fire Within continues the story of heiress Jennifer Quinn, journalist Timika Mars, pilot Alan Young and ex-Marine Barry Regis – four people bonded by the incidents they’ve witnessed and who are being hunted by agents of a wealthy corporate cabal desperate for unimaginable power and possessed of extraordinary abilities they don’t understand, much less control. Now the quartet is on a mission of their own: as Alan and Barry test the limits of their strange gifts inside the military complex known as Dreamland, Jennifer and Timika begin a quest to locate an ancient tablet that may hold the answers to humanity’s greatest question: Are we alone in the universe?”
