The Pyramids Of Giza As Seen From Space Photographed By the ESA
The Pyramids Of Giza As Seen From Space Photographed By the ESA
Who said you can’t see the Pyramids of Giza from space? A new image provided by ESA’s Proba-1 spacecraft has captured in stunning detail the Pyramids of the Giza plateau, proving that you can, in fact, see the magnificent structures from space.
The Great Pyramid of Giza and its accompanying structures located on the Giza plateau have remained an enigma for archaeologists and scholars for hundreds of years.
Shrouded in mystery, the Great Pyramid of Giza is without a doubt one of the most mind-boggling monuments ever erected on Earth, and its beauty is even visible from space.
The European Space Agency recently published a stunning image of the Giza plateau starring the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.
As the ESA’s Proba-1 Spacecraft passed over Egypt, its cameras caught a glimpse of the stunning ancient monuments. Proba-1 is a Belgian satellite that was outfitted with two cameras capable of capturing high-resolution images of the planet. The minisatellite, launched in 2001, is the ESA’s longest-serving Earth-observing mission, reports CNET.
A view looking north to south of Egypt’s famous Giza Pyramid Complex, as seen by ESA’s Proba-1 minisatellite.
The space agency decided to share the image of the bird’s-eye view of the Giza pyramid complex on Wednesday.
ESA’s photograph offers a perspective from north to south.
At the center of the image is we can see the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, said to have been built to house the tomb of the fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh for which it is named.
If we take a look to the left of Menakure, we will spot the larger pyramid of Khafre standing tall at 488 feet.
Next to it, below and to the left of Khafre, we can spot the largest of the pyramids at the Giza plateau, the Great Pyramid of Giza, aka the Pyramid of Khufu.
It is believed that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built thousands of years ago by the ancient Egyptians which erected the stunning monument in around 20 years.
The structure is believed to have been completed in 2560 BC.
Thousands of years ago, the ancient builders of the Pyramid used more than 2,300,000 stone blocks that weigh from 2 to 50 tons each to build a structure that would stand the test of time.
The outer mantle of the Great Pyramid of Giza was composed of 144,000 casing stones, all of them highly polished and flat to an accuracy of 1/100th of an inch, about 100 inches thick and weighing approximately 15 tons each.
Astrophysicist: ETs May Have Already Lived And Died In Our Solar System
Astrophysicist: ETs May Have Already Lived And Died In Our Solar System
As science continues to search the cosmos for evidence of intelligent extraterrestrials and, at the very least, for habitable planets that might harbor even non-intelligent life, one scientist is raising another eye-opening question: Was there a time in the far distant past when an advanced civilization actually lived on one of the planets of our solar system, long before earthlings evolved?
Pennsylvania State University astrophysicist Jason T. Wright suggests that ancient aliens may have lived on nearby planets hundreds of millions of years ago, before vanishing without a trace.
In a new scientific paper, “Prior Indigenous Technological Species,” published in Cornell University’s research archive, ArXiv, on April 24, Wright speculates:
One of the primary open questions of astrobiology is whether there is extant or extinct life elsewhere in the solar system. Implicit in much of this work is that we are looking for microbial or, at best, unintelligent life, even though technological artifacts might be much easier to find.
But if a prior technological, perhaps spacefaring, species ever arose in the solar system, it might have produced artifacts or other technosignatures that have survived to present day.
Here, I discuss the origins and possible locations for technosignatures of such a prior indigenous technological species, which might have arisen on ancient Earth or another body, such as a pre-greenhouse Venus or a wet Mars.
HuffPost asked Wright how far back in time he thinks aliens might have lived in our solar system and if some of them may still be lingering out there.
“It seems pretty clear there aren’t any now. That’s become more clear as we’ve explored the solar system robotically. In terms of large, intelligent, technological civilizations, that seems pretty case closed,” he said in an interview Friday.
While Wright pays tribute to the imaginations that created tales of Martians and moon dwellers in his paper, he remained cautiously open-minded about what’s possible in time and space. “While the applications of this idea in science fiction are usually fanciful, it is unclear to what degree the existence of such species in reality is allowed or disallowed by evidence,” he wrote.
In the interview, he said he thinks it’s interesting to wonder if there could have been a previous species on Earth that used technology like we do and if there’s any room in the geological or fossil record for that, or have we completely foreclosed it?
“My guess is that we can rule out big swaths of the Earth’s history. The farther back you go, the harder it is to rule something like that out. If they’re very old, there may not be any traces. Things don’t last long. If you put something in orbit around the sun, it’ll be subject to collisions with asteroids and meteors.
“So, anything, including planetary surfaces in the solar system, just gets constantly hit with these things. When you’re on the surfaces of objects, like asteroids or moons or planets, those surfaces can also completely turn over, given enough time.”
NASA defines astrobiology as “the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe. This multidisciplinary field encompasses the search for habitable environments in our solar system and habitable planets outside our solar system.”
Wright told HuffPost of two important ingredients in looking for signs of life somewhere in space.
“In the field of astrobiology, we talk about what are called biosignatures. If you look at a planet or a moon that has life on it, how would you know? What is the signature ― the signal ― that says this is life and not a completely sterile object? So, that’s a biosignature.
“A technosignature is the same idea but not for any life― it’s for the technology that’s been engineered and constructed and designed by life. For instance, a radio transmitter would be one of our most obvious technosignatures. And we build large structures. The Empire State Building is a technosignature.”
According to Wright, it’s important to keep searching.

NASA Scientist Finds Massive Alien Spacecraft Hiding In Saturn’s Rings
NASA Scientist Finds Massive Alien Spacecraft Hiding In Saturn’s Rings
“I say it is electromagnetic because I can identify streamline patterns with respect to it I knew were what we called ‘potential lines’ — and that says it was electrical. I could tell that those lines demarked the outside of an object,” he added.
A Former NASA Engineer has made headlines around the globe after claiming that supermassive alien spacecraft exist in our solar system and are hiding within Saturn’s massive rings.
Dr Norman Bergrun@DrNormanBergrun
Is Enceladus an electromagnetic vehicle supplying material for Saturn's E-ring? Enceladus
These claims were quickly spread by both American and Russian mainstream media outlets—which is kinda’ weird—suggesting that not only are there alien spacecraft around Saturn, but these mysterious objects exist around other planets like Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune.
The former NASA engineer, Dr. Norman Bergrun—who happens to be a vivid UFO researcher—believesthe alien spacecraft are actually ‘feeding off of the energy of the planet’ via the rings, in order to “proliferate,” which he believes is a worrying situation.
And these spacecrafts aren’t new to the solar system says Dr. Bergrun. The former NASA boffin has been saying how alien spacecraft are proliferating in our solar system since 1986, when he published his book “Ringmakers of Saturn.”
As noted by the Inquisitr: “Bergrun is a distinguished former NASA research engineer who has made major innovative contributions to multiple U.S. aeronautic, missile and rocket programs. He has also won many top science and engineering awards, including the California Society of Professional Engineers Archimedes Engineering Achievement Award.”
But Bergrun’s statements have been heavily criticized since he appeared on the controversial YouTube Channel of SecureTeam10, noted for posting countless UFO related videos, which many skeptics have called out as being fake.
Dr. Bergrun has spoken not long ago in a video published by SecureTeam10’s YouTube channel where he explains the mystery behind Saturn’s, its rings, and the numerous alien spacecraft that he claims reside there.
In the video, Dr. Bergrun speaks of “long cylindrical objects” in the rings that appear to have “exhaust systems” among other apparently amazing findings, reports Sputnik News.
In his book Ringmakers of Saturn, published in 1986, Dr. Bergrun claimed that not only were Saturn’s ring ‘plagued’ by alien spacecraft, these otherworldly visitors may have been responsible for the ‘creation of the rings’.
In 2016, Dr. Bergrun said that these mysterious crafts inhabit Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter: “I say it is electromagnetic because I can identify streamline patterns with respect to it I knew were what we called ‘potential lines’ — and that says it was electrical. I could tell that those lines demarked the outside of an object,” he added.
UFO hunters and paranormal researchers believe in Dr. Bergrun’s story, saying that Bergrun most likely witnessed top-secret NASA images during his time working on the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and Lockheed Martin on highly classified aerospace projects.
His conclusions, according to UFO researchers, are based on the evidence he gathered from the images.
MIT computer scientists have developed SoFi – a soft, robot fish made of silicone rubber – that can swim alongside real fish in the ocean.
Computer scientists at MIT have unveiled a new, soft robot fish that can independently swim alongside real fish in the ocean. They call their robot fish SoFi and described the work in an article published March 21, 2018, in the peer-reviewed journal Science Robotics. The article is online here.
During test dives in the Rainbow Reef in Fiji, SoFi swam at depths of more than 50 feet [15 meters] for up to 40 minutes at once, nimbly handling currents and taking high-resolution photos and videos using (what else?) a fisheye lens.
Using its undulating tail and a unique ability to control its own buoyancy, SoFi can swim in a straight line, turn, or dive up or down. The team also used a waterproofed Super Nintendo controller and developed a custom acoustic communications system that enabled them to change SoFi’s speed and have it make specific moves and turns.
Robert Katzschmann is a Ph.D. candidate at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and lead author of the new research. He said:
To our knowledge, this is the first robotic fish that can swim untethered in three dimensions for extended periods of time.
We are excited about the possibility of being able to use a system like this to get closer to marine life than humans can get on their own.
The research team pointed out that, even with many technological advances in recent years, documenting marine life up close remains a challenging task. They pointed to recent rare footage of an elusive Greenland shark that can live more than 400 years. It revealed how little we know about life in the coldest oceans, and in the oceans in general.
These scientists hope that SoFI can help shed light on the ocean’s mysteries.
Bottom line: MIT computer scientists have developed SoFi – a soft, robot fish made of silicone rubber – that can swim alongside real fish in the ocean.

Finding Aliens: Scientists to take help of Artificial Intelligence to trace Alien Life on exoplanets
Finding Aliens: Scientists to take help of Artificial Intelligence to trace Alien Life on exoplanets
For the study, scientists have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks (ANNs) to classify planets into five types, based on the likelihood of supporting extraterrestrial life. Based on these groups, scientists will further conduct interstellar missions to find the alien life.
Search for alien life has gained pace in recent times and space agencies are working hard to find the proof of extraterrestrial life. Meanwhile, a team of scientists from the Plymouth University believes that we should take help of artificial intelligence to find the alien life. According to researchers, artificial intelligence has witnessed rapid developments and it can help us in predicting the probability of life on other planets.
For the study, scientists have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks (ANNs) to classify planets into five types, based on the likelihood of supporting extraterrestrial life. Based on these groups, scientists will further conduct interstellar missions to find the alien life.
Lead study author Mr Christopher Bishop explains that planets in all the five groups have an atmosphere and possibility of life. Some planets are very similar to present day earth and are present in Goldilocks zone while some are more like Mars and Venus.
Mr Bishop comments, “We’re currently interested in these ANNs for prioritising exploration for a hypothetical, intelligent, interstellar spacecraft scanning an exoplanet system at range.”
He adds, “We’re also looking at the use of large area, deployable, planar Fresnel antennas to get data back to Earth from an interstellar probe at large distances. This would be needed if the technology is used in robotic spacecraft in the future.”

As per wiki, Artificial neural networks(ANNs) or connectionist systems are computing systems vaguely inspired by the biological neural networks that constitute animal brains. Such systems “learn” (i.e. progressively improve performance on) tasks by considering examples, generally without task-specific programming. For example, in image recognition, they might learn to identify images that contain cats by analyzing example images that have been manually labeled as “cat” or “no cat” and using the results to identify cats in other images. They do this without any a prior knowledge about cats, e.g., that they have fur, tails, whiskers and cat-like faces. Instead, they evolve their own set of relevant characteristics from the learning material that they process.
An ANN is based on a collection of connected units or nodes called artificial neurons (a simplified version of biological neurons in an animal brain). Each connection (a simplified version of a synapse) between artificial neurons can transmit a signal from one to another. The artificial neuron that receives the signal can process it and then signal artificial neurons connected to it.
Mr Bishop further revealed that his team has trained the ANN by supplying data of hundreds of planets and different spectral profiles to determine the habitability of a planet.
Astronomers Find 3 Nearby Super-Earth Exoplanets in Newly Discovered Solar System
“Given the results so far, this method may prove to be extremely useful for categorising different types of exoplanets using results from ground-based and near Earth observatories” says Dr Angelo Cangelosi, the supervisor of the project.
Scientists believe that the study will give specific targets for Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Telescope to examine a particular planet for the presence of alien life.
( Note ExoPortail : J’en publie rarement car sinon je ne ferai que ça de la journée avec la multitude d’apparitions vraiment intéressantes, mais ici ce sont des cas très intéressants que l’on peut clairement comparer au Brevet divulgué il y a quelques années. )
Première Observation du 16 Mars :
La vidéo suivante analyse une série de cinq photos prises dans une région éloignée d’Orlando, en Floride, par ma source anonyme, JP, le 16 mars 2018. Les photos montrent une embarcation dont JP estime qu’elle vole à une altitude de 2 000 à 5 000 pieds et de la taille de deux gros-porteurs.
La vidéo montre des gros plans de l’engin sur les photos et à quel point il est similaire à un modèle breveté en 2004 pour un engin spatial en forme de triangle.
La géométrie symétrique de l’engin dans les photos de JP, les bords lisses, la largeur apparente de l’engin, et une sorte de grand générateur hémisphère au centre, sont tous très similaires à la conception brevetée rendue public en 2004 pour un engin spatial Triangulaire comme le montre la comparaison côte à côte suivante.
Par coïncidence, les photos de la vidéo n’ont été prises que trois jours après que le président Donald Trump a prononcé un discours appelant à la création d’une force spatiale.
Ce qui suit sont les originaux des première et quatrième photos utilisées dans mon analyse vidéo des photos du 16 mars pour ceux qui souhaitent effectuer d’autres analyses photographiques.
Deuxième Observation du 23 Mars :
Les cinq photos de la vidéo ci-dessous montrent une embarcation triangulaire volante près d’Orlando, en Floride, qui pouvait à la fois planer et voler rapidement dans n’importe quelle direction. L’embarcation pouvait changer de couleur, passant du blanc à mesure qu’elle émergeait des nuages, à des couleurs plus foncées comme l’illustrent les photos, ce qui suggère une caractéristique de furtivité.
Les photos m’ont été envoyées par JP, une source anonyme que je connais depuis 2008. Il a donné la taille approximative de l’embarcation comme à peu près la taille de deux gros porteurs. L’embarcation est identique à une observation du 16 mars par JP dans la région d’Orlando qui a de nouveau été capturée par des photos.
Ce qui suit sont les originaux des première et cinquième photos utilisées dans mon analyse vidéo des photos du 23 mars pour ceux qui souhaitent effectuer d’autres analyses photographiques.
As the universe's only known harbor for life, Earth is arguably one strange rock. But light-years from our solar system, other intelligent beings on a similar planetary oasis might be gazing in our direction and seeing us as a sign that they're not alone in the universe.
To date, astronomers have confirmed the existence of nearly 4,000 planets beyond our solar system, including some that just might have the conditions necessary to support life as we know it. As our technology improves, we should be able to learn more about these worlds and their chances of hosting plants, animals, and maybe even civilizations.
ONE STRANGE ROCK
Hosted by Will Smith, ONE STRANGE ROCK is a mind-bending, thrilling journey exploring the fragility and wonder of our planet.
That means if aliens are out there, they could just as easily discover us.
First, they'd need to find Earth from afar, either by watching our sun wobble as the planet's gravity tugs against it, or by seeing the sun dim as Earth blocks a tiny fraction of sunlight during its orbit. Nine known alien worlds can see Earth transit across our sun, just as we've seen thousands of alien planets dim their host stars.
Once spotted, our planet would likely intrigue E.T. Our sun is relatively stable, not prone to disastrous flares that'd rip our atmosphere to shreds. What's more, we fall squarely within our sun's habitable zone, the area around a star where liquid water can persist on a planet's surface. (These are just some of the things that make life as we know it possible on Earth.)
Faraway scientists might then attempt to spot our atmosphere, to see whether life's thumb is on the chemical scales. But what would they be looking for? And could they really infer life's presence across trillions of miles?
Oxygen is a highly reactive element, glomming on to other atoms and molecules with such alacrity that it's tough to find it in abundance by itself—unless something is breaking down oxygen-rich compounds and pumping out loads of O2. On Earth, you can thank photosynthetic plants for being generous oxygen factories.
But oxygen alone wouldn't be enough for E.T. to prove our existence. “We have discovered several ways in which O2 can accumulate in the absence of life,” says Stephanie Olson, an astrobiologist at the University of California, Riverside. “High levels of O2, or the processes culminating in high levels of O2, may actually preclude the emergence of life on some planets.”
In addition to oxygen molecules, alien astronomers would look at our atmosphere's levels of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane. Only life could keep Earth chemically off-kilter enough for all these gases to persist at once.
TERRA COGNITA?
Beyond those chemical clues, alien astronomers with truly massive telescopes might even be able to map Earth's surface from afar, down to major urban areas.
As a proof-of-concept for this telescope, called the ExoLife Finder, or ELF, Berdyugina and Kuhn simulated how nearby aliens using the telescope would see Earth. From 25 trillion miles away, E.T. could not only map Earth's continents, but they'd also be able to see signs of intelligent life.
“The ELF telescope has the sensitivity to see a Los Angeles basin,” says Kuhn. “We don't see the lights, but we see the heat signature.” Their group, the Planets Foundation, is now building a single-mirror telescope in Hawaii to test the underlying tech. If all goes to plan, they say it's possible to build ELF within a decade.
“It would be like Star Trek, the reality show,” says Berdyugina. “We could virtually visit these planets.”
ADVANCED INTELLIGENCE
If intelligent life is nearby, the most straightforward way to find earthlings would be to listen for us. For the last century, human civilization has been broadcasting its existence to the cosmos via our leaky radio transmissions. Occasionally, we've broadcast messages to E.T. intentionally, and sent golden records into the void on the off-chance that aliens stumble across our interplanetary spacecraft.
Aliens wouldn't be able to detect our radio presence, much less our golden records, unless they're within 590 trillion miles of Earth. If intelligent life is any farther away than that, our earliest radio signals simply haven't reached them yet.
The sun sets over South America, as seen by astronauts on board the International Space Station.

But in several centuries' time, intelligent aliens may see other signs of our tech-savviness. In a study recently accepted to The Astrophysical Journal, for example, astrophysicist Hector Socas-Navarro says we could find intelligent life by looking for artificial satellites orbiting alien worlds. And that means they could find us using similar methods.
As a satellite-fringed world drifts in front of its home star, its satellites would block some starlight in front of and behind the transiting planet. This metallic belt would look unnatural when compared to known planetary rings.
Currently, Earth's satellite network isn't anywhere near dense enough to be detected, nor will it be anytime soon. But our footprint in space is growing exponentially: If we keep launching satellites at our present pace, Socas-Navarro says in his study, nearby aliens armed with telescopes as powerful as the ones we have today could spot our satellites by 2200.
WINDS OF CHANGE
Of course, Earth is more than 4.5 billion years old, and life has changed a lot over the eons. What if alien astronomers had looked our way even a billion years ago?
In a 2018 paper in Science Advances, Olson and her colleagues simulated how Earth's atmosphere has changed over time. Even three billion years ago, aliens may have been able to infer life by sniffing out methane and carbon dioxide in the early atmosphere. But our modern atmosphere—a literal beacon for life—arrived only about 500 million years ago.
“For more than a billion years of Earth history, an alien astronomer may have even been sufficiently misled to conclude that Earth was sterile—despite the fact that life was flourishing in our ocean at the time,” says Olson.
Still, if the aliens were advanced and committed enough, even an early Earth would yield compelling clues for life, says study coauthor Joshua Krissansen-Totton of the University of Washington.
“The presence of life on Earth has been fairly obvious for the last 4 billion years to anyone who could build a big telescope,” he says in an email. “If there was anything nasty out there, then they would have extinguished life on Earth long ago. I think we are safe inviting them over to visit and exchange notes on the cosmos.”
If aliens are anything like us, perhaps the news that they aren't alone in the cosmos wouldn't be their equivalent of earth-shattering. In a study published in Frontiers in Psychology in February, researchers found that people, at least, would take the discovery of alien life in stride.
“People will be able to accommodate even high-impact scientific discoveries without their worldviews collapsing,” theologian Ted Peterssaid at the time.
But like us, aliens may fear the prospect of hostile, intelligent extraterrestrials—in this case, humans—arriving unannounced on their cosmic doorstep.
“Of course,” added study author Michael Varnum of Arizona State University, “I would also predict that if a hostile armada showed up near Jupiter, we wouldn’t be happy.”

X-Rays Could Spell Doom for Life on Planets Around Red Dwarfs
X-Rays Could Spell Doom for Life on Planets Around Red Dwarfs
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor

Intense radiation from red dwarf stars could make their planets uninhabitable or restrict life on such worlds to the oceans, a new study suggests.
Red dwarfs are smaller, and shine less brightly, than our sun. These dim stars make up about 75 percent of the Milky Way's stellar population, and many of them are known to host planets in the "habitable zone" — the range of distances that could theoretically support the existence of liquid water on a world's surface.
But it's unclear just how habitable such worlds actually are. Because red dwarfs are so dim, their habitable zones lie quite close-in. The trouble is, red dwarfs can produce nasty X-ray emissions — not to mention radiation from coronal mass ejections (CMEs), eruptions that blast massive amounts of charged plasma out into space.
"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," lead author Eike Guenther, an astronomer at Thueringer Observatory in Germany, said in a statement released by the London-based Royal Astronomical Society. "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's team observed a flare from the red dwarf star AD Leo in February. The star is just 16 light-years from Earth and may host small, rocky planets in its habitable zone. Astronomers already know of a gas-giant planet that is very close to the parent star, at just 0.02 astronomical units (AU). That's 50 times closer than the equivalent distance between Earth and the sun. (One AU is the average Earth-sun distance — about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.)
The data are still being analyzed, but early results hint that the flare did not appreciably affect the giant planet. Better yet, the flare was not accompanied by a CME, which commonly happens at the sun. Since such ejections could potentially strip a small planet of its atmosphere, this might be good news for life, according to the statement.
However, the star's bursts of X-ray radiation may still be a factor in the system. Such radiation could hit surface life on a habitable-zone planet hard, although ocean creatures might be safe, the researchers said.
The team is still refining its model to understand the emissions' impact on nearby planets. Some research suggests that a giant radiation flare could destroy the ozone layer of a planet, reducing it by 94 percent for around two years. If that happened, all surface life might be doomed, they said.
"If they are right, then talk of 'Earth 2.0' [around a red dwarf] may be premature," Royal Astronomical Society representatives said in the statement.
The work was presented today (April 3) at the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science conference in Liverpool, England.
A person used the Shroud of Turin to create a 3D printed Jesus. This is the first time such and end ever was ever taken and its amazing. The statue is 5 foot 10 inches tall. His position is the same as when he was hanging on the cross, but rigomoutus sets in soon after death, making the body hard, staying in place. Thats why he look like his head is raised and his knees are raised. Alien or god, or both, this is just freaking amazing to see! Scott C. Waring
News states:
One of the most-well known relics in archeological history is leading researchers to believe that they know "the precise image of what Jesus looked like on this earth". The Shroud of Turin is a 14-foot linen cloth that is believed to have wrapped the body of Jesus Christ after the crucifixion. Researchers in Padua (Italy) have unveiled a 3-D carbon copy of what Jesus looked like based on the precise measurements of the cloth.
Mint's newest coin showcases famous Falcon Lake UFO encounter in Manitoba
Mint's newest coin showcases famous Falcon Lake UFO encounter in Manitoba
Ovoid coin depicts Stefan Michalak's close encounter, glows in the dark
Elisha Dacey · CBC News
The new coin from the Royal Canadian Mint depicts Stefan Michalak after a close encounter in 1967 at Falcon Lake.
(Royal Canadian Mint)
One could be forgiven for describing the mint's newest coin as rather otherworldly.
The Royal Canadian Mint's newest offering features Manitoba's most famous UFO encounter, which happened in 1967 when Stefan Michalak went looking for precious metals near Falcon Lake.
"I was very surprised, frankly. They called me out of the blue and said 'I have this idea,'" said Stefan's son, Stan Michalak.
"It's not every day the mint calls and says, 'Hey, we're going to do a coin.'"
Stefan, whom his son says was a "rock nut," was searching for gold, silver and other precious metals and gems in Whiteshell Provincial Park one May long weekend in 1967. At about noon, two craft appeared in the sky, he said, and one landed about 50 metres away from Stefan on a flat rocky area.
The other craft left, but the first stayed, said Stefan. He observed it from the bush for about half an hour before approaching it.
"In his mind, he reasoned, 'This must be some sort of a military experimental craft. They've landed here by mistake or maybe out of need. Maybe they're in trouble,'" said Stan. "'I'll offer to help them out.'"
When Stefan approached the craft, which he later described as saucer-shaped and made of a stainless steel material, he touched it and the heat melted the fingertips of his heavy gloves. There was an opening he put his head through, said Stan, but he didn't enter.
The craft then expelled a cloud of gas and lifted off, knocking Stefan off his feet, setting his shirt aflame and leaving a distinct pattern of burns on his chest.
There will be only 4,000 of the collectors coins minted. (Royal Canadian Mint)
The coin shows the moment the craft lifted from the rock, with a figure lying on the ground with a hand in the air, as if to ward something off. In the dark, the craft on the coin glows, as does the gas coming from the ship.
The coin is ovoid and uses more colours than traditionally found in a coin, said Stan.
"They sent me a proof that had their original thought, which was kind of cute," said Stan. "Originally, it was going to have alien eyes on it, so it looked like the shape of an alien head."
Erica Maga, product manager for the coin, said the idea came to the team during their annual research.
"We thought it was such an interesting story that it was one that we had to share with Canadians," said Maga. "Everyone is sort of fascinated by this subject matter and we thought it would make a really interesting coin design."
The coin has been in production for a few months but went on sale Monday, said Maga. The coin's egg shape, while unusual, was also used for coins with a hot air balloon and featuring Ukranian pysanka.
Maga confirmed one of the earliest designs featured glow-in-the-dark alien eyes.
"We had talked around a lot of really wacky ideas and interesting concepts for this one, but in the end, we wanted to try and stay as faithful and true to the story as we could."
Despite the Manitoba connection, the coin is being minted in Ottawa instead of Winnipeg, said Alex Reeves, external communications advisor for The Mint. The Winnipeg facility does currency coins, while the Ottawa facility specializes in collector coins.
Stan, who co-wrote a book about his father's encounter, said he hopes the coin helps end his family's saga.
"We just decided to put this to rest, and I think the mint, giving me a call and saying 'We have this idea,' I think it just puts the ribbon on the box to finally close it forever."
The $20 legal tender coin can be ordered from the mint's website. It retails for $129.95.
We'd long suspected them, but in 2015 astronomers for the first time captured visual evidence of tubular plasma structures in the inner layers of the magnetosphere surrounding the Earth.
"For over 60 years, scientists believed these structures existed but by imaging them for the first time, we've provided visual evidence that they are really there," said Cleo Loi of the ARC Centre of Excellence for All-sky Astrophysics (CAASTRO) and the School of Physics at the University of Sydney back in 2015.
Loi was lead author on this research, done as part of her award-winning undergraduate thesis and published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
"The discovery of the structures is important because they cause unwanted signal distortions that could, as one example, affect our civilian and military satellite-based navigation systems. So we need to understand them," she said.
The plasma structures are explained in this clip:
The region of space around the Earth occupied by its magnetic field, called the magnetosphere, is filled with plasma created by the atmosphere being ionised by sunlight.
The innermost layer of the magnetosphere is the ionosphere, and above that is the plasmasphere. They are embedded with a variety of strangely shaped plasma structures, including the tubes.
"We measured their position to be about 600 km above the ground, in the upper ionosphere, and they appear to be continuing upwards into the plasmasphere. This is around where the neutral atmosphere ends, and we are transitioning to the plasma of outer space," Loi said.
Using the Murchison Widefield Array, a radio telescope in the Western Australian desert, Loi found that she could map large patches of the sky and exploit the the array's rapid snapshot capabilities to create a movie - effectively capturing the real-time movements of the plasma.
Loi was awarded the 2015 Bok Prize of the Astronomical Society of Australia for her work.
A version of this article was first published in June 2015.
Er zweven reusachtige plasmabuizen boven de aarde. Zo zien ze eruit
Er zweven reusachtige plasmabuizen boven de aarde. Zo zien ze eruit
Astronomen hebben in 2015 voor het eerst bewijs gevonden voor het bestaan van buisvormige plasmastructuren in de onderste lagen van de magnetosfeer.
“Wetenschappers dachten al meer dan 60 jaar dat deze structuren bestonden en wij hebben nu het eerste bewijs dat ze echt bestaan,” zei Cleo Loi van de Universiteit van Sydney.
Het onderzoek van Loi is gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Geophysical Research Letters. “De ontdekking van de structuren is belangrijk omdat ze onze navigatiesystemen kunnen verstoren,” zei ze. “We moeten ze dus leren begrijpen.”
De plasmastructuren worden in onderstaand filmpje uitgelegd:
Het gebied rond de aarde binnen de invloedssfeer van het magnetisch veld wordt de magnetosfeer genoemd.
Het magnetisch veld beschermt ons tegen de straling van de zon en tegen kosmische straling. De magnetosfeer is gevuld met plasma dat ontstaat doordat de atmosfeer wordt geïoniseerd door zonlicht.
De onderste laag van de magnetosfeer is de ionosfeer en erboven bevindt zich de plasmasfeer. Ze bevatten een aantal vreemd gevormde plasmastructuren, waaronder de plasmabuizen.
“We hebben ze op 600 kilometer boven de grond waargenomen, in de bovenste laag van de ionosfeer, tot en met de plasmasfeer,” zei Loi. “Daar houdt de neutrale atmosfeer op en gaan we over naar het plasma van de ruimte.”

WETENSCHAP & PLANEET Ons universum kan abrupt vernietigd worden door een botsing met een bubbel van negatieve energie gecreëerd door het higgsdeeltje. Dat stellen fysici van de universiteit van Harvard. Het proces kan al ingezet zijn in een verre uithoek van ons universum. Dit doemscenario hoeft ons en de komende generaties echter niet echt te verontrusten: het ligt nog triljoenen jaren van ons verwijderd.
Experts stellen dat de massa van het higgsdeeltje - dat massa verleent aan alle materie - kan wijzigen en dat dit nefast zou zijn voor de processen die leven mogelijk maken. Dit kan in gang gezet worden door interactie tussen het zogenaamde Godsdeeltje en een zwart gat. Dat kan al gebeurd zijn in een verre uithoek van het universum.
Het einde van het universum wordt voorspeld door het zogenaamde Standaard Model van de deeltjesfysica, dat stelt dat donkere energie de expansie van het universum drijft tot alles zal eindigen in een koude, vormeloze afgrond.
De nieuwe studie zet die denkwijze nu echter op zijn kop door te stellen dat het einde plots zal komen. En dit over 10^139 jaar. Dat is 10 gevolgd door 139 nullen, of tien miljoen biljoen biljoen biljoen biljoen biljoen biljoen biljoen biljoen biljoen biljoen biljoen jaar. Zelfs al waarschuwen wetenschappers vandaag dat het proces al kan ingezet zijn, het is dus geen reden om een decadent eind-van-de-wereld-fuif te organiseren.
In hun studie stellen de vorsers dat ze 95% zeker zijn dat het universum nog meer dan 10^58 jaar zal meegaan, wat ook nog geen zorg oplevert voor onze achterachterkleinkinderen. Die 5% onzekerheid betekent dat ze onzeker zijn dat het minder dan 10^58 jaar zal duren.

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.

Giant UFO Exits The Sun On NASA Camera April 4, 2018, UFO Sighting News.
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.

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.

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?
