The U.S. Air Force's X-37B space plane has winged past 200 days in orbit on its latest clandestine mission.
That mission, known as Orbital Test Vehicle-5 (OTV-5), began Sept. 7, 2017, when the robotic spacecraft launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida.
According to Air Force officials, one payload flying on OTV-5 is the Advanced Structurally Embedded Thermal Spreader, or ASETS-11, of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). This cargo is testing experimental electronics and oscillating heat pipes for long durations in the space environment. [The X-37B Space Plane: 6 Surprising Facts]
The X-37B space plane has a payload bay about the size of a pickup-truck bed, which can be outfitted with a robotic arm.

Dual-use tech
"The X-37B has been and remains a technology demonstrator," said Joan Johnson-Freese, a professor in the National Security Affairs Department at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.
"Given that most space technology is dual-use, with the ever-increasing sway toward warfare in space, it's likely that the more militaristic uses of the space plane will be pursued more vigorously, and likely openly given the [presidential] administration's proclivity toward chest thumping," she told Space.com, expressing her personal view.
How long the unpiloted, reusable craft will stay aloft is not known, but experts have said it's likely to land at KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility, as the OTV-4 mission did back on May 7, 2017. That was a first for the program, as all prior missions had ended with a tarmac touchdown at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
Each X-37B mission has set a new flight-duration record for the program.
OTV-1 began April 22, 2010, and concluded on Dec. 3, 2010, after 224 days in orbit.
The second OTV mission began March 5, 2011, and concluded on June 16, 2012, after 468 days on orbit.
OTV-3 chalked up nearly 675 days in orbit before finally coming down on Oct. 17, 2014.
And OTV-4 conducted on-orbit experiments for 718 days during its mission, extending the total number of days spent in space for the OTV program to 2,085 days.
Risk-reduction role
The Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office manages the X-37B project, using it to perform risk-reduction, experimentation and concept-of-operations development for reusable space-vehicle technologies.
The space drone has a payload bay about the size of a pickup-truck bed, which can be outfitted with a robotic arm. X-37B has a launch weight of 11,000 lbs. (4,990 kilograms) and is powered on orbit by gallium-arsenide solar cells with lithium-ion batteries.
The classified X-37B program "fleet" consists of two known reusable vehicles, both of which were built by Boeing. Looking like a miniature version of NASA's now-retired space shuttle orbiter, the military space plane is 29 feet (8.8 meters) long and 9.6 feet (2.9 m) tall, with a wingspan of nearly 15 feet (4.6

Trail gone cold
The orbital path of the currently flying space plane is a tad puzzling, said Ted Molczan, a Toronto-based satellite analyst.
"There were indications that OTV-5 went to a significantly higher-inclination orbit than previous OTV missions," he told Space.com. "There was too little information to narrowly constrain a search."
Molczan said he assisted in one fruitless search, but it was of the roughly 44-degree-inclination orbit implied by the OTV-5 launch's "Notice to Airmen," the routine report put out to warn any aircraft pilots who may be near the flight path.
"The final orbit may be more like 60 degrees," he said. "If an object is not found within days or a few weeks of launch, then the trail goes cold and discovery depends on a chance sighting."

This rover is an early version of a vehicle that will one day be sent to Jupiter’s moon Europa
NASA/JPL-Caltech
We recognize Earth as the blue planet, but it’s not the only ocean world in our neighborhood. Oceans may be concealed beneath thick crusts of ice on moons orbiting Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, and on the dwarf planets Pluto and Eris. Saturn’s moon Titan even boasts liquid seas right on its surface, although they are full of methane rather than water.
If anywhere in our solar system holds signs of life, it is likely to be these frigid worlds. Scientists are determined to explore the distant seas of Titan and Jupiter’s moon Europa, and are designing ice-gripping rovers and submarines to take the plunge into their mysterious depths. They will have to contend with bitter cold, liquids that behave differently than the water we are used to on Earth, and other hostile conditions.
Here’s how these hardy robots will explore two very different types of alien seas.
Cruising gassy seas
Over the course of its mission to explore Saturn and its moons, the Cassini spacecraftdiscovered hundreds of small lakes on Titan’s surface, as well as three seas similar to the Great Lakes in size and depth.
Titan also has water ice on its surface and a water ocean likely buried beneath its crust. But its methane seas are intriguing because they are part of a process that resembles the water cycle we have here on Earth. As on our own planet, liquid on Titan evaporates from the seas, forms clouds, and rains back down. Researchers would like to find out more about how this methane cycle works. What’s more, carbon and nitrogen compounds that could support life are plentiful on Titan; scientists hope to investigate whether some form of life could have evolved to depend on liquid methane the way terrestrial life depends on water.
NASA has considered sending a buoy to drift through Titan’s seas. One drawback is that this capsule would be at the mercy of winds and currents. “Most likely a buoy encountering [the] shore would just get beached and might be refloated with the tide,” Ralph Lorenz, a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, Maryland, said in an email. There are no guarantees that it would make it back to sea, though.
A submarine, on the other hand, could set its own course and would be able to explore beneath the sea surface and sample sediments on the seafloor. NASA hopes to send a submarine to Titan in the next 20 years. Its generator—which would be powered by heat from the decay of radioactive materials such as plutonium—will be key to keeping the submarine’s electronics toasty in Titan’s seas, which are roughly -290 degrees Fahrenheit.
Dealing with the cryogenic conditions on Titan “needs careful engineering, but no physical miracles,” says Lorenz, who is the submarine’s lead designer. “The waste heat from a radioisotope power source is an essential part of that, together with…some judicious choices of foam insulation.”
Another challenge is that we don’t know the exact chemical makeup of Titan’s seas. They are mainly methane—similar to liquid natural gas found on Earth—and a smaller amount of liquid ethane and dissolved nitrogen gas. But the exact ratio in which these ingredients appear isn’t clear, and may vary quite a bit between Titan’s seas. So the project is designing a submarine that can navigate a liquid expanse whose density and viscosity are not yet firmly established.
Engineers are particularly concerned about the nitrogen in Titan’s seas, which could form bubbles that would interfere with the submarine’s navigation. This might happen when some of the waste heat from the vessel’s generator seeps into the environment. “That heat is not enough to boil the surrounding liquid, but we believe it’s enough to cause that dissolved nitrogen that’s in the liquid to come out,” says Jason Hartwig, a cryogenic propulsion engineer at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland.
The propeller itself could also create effervescence as it slices through the liquid. Behind each blade is a little void, Hartwig says. This drop in pressure can give bubbles an opportunity to form, similar to how a can of soda fizzes when you open it.
All those tiny bubbles could cause two big problems. Firstly, they might get in the way of the submarine’s scientific equipment, making it more difficult to measure depth and other conditions. Even more worrying, the bubbles might prevent the submarine’s propellers from working properly.
“If we’re trying to move from one location in the seas to another, are all those bubbles going to coalesce at the back end of the submarine?” Hartwig says. “You try to spin the propellers and the vehicle won’t move, it will just sit and spin."
“This whole effervescence issue is a non-factor for submersibles on Earth because the amount of air that can get dissolved in water is very, very low,” Hartwig continues. “The pressure is higher on Titan and because the liquid is colder more gas is dissolved in the liquid, which means more gas can come out.”
Since we don’t know the exact chemical composition of Titan’s seas, it’s not certain how much nitrogen they hold. To get a better sense of what a submarine might encounter, Hartwig and his colleagues at Washington State University have recreated Titan’s seas here on Earth. They filled a test chamber with different mixtures of methane, ethane, and dissolved nitrogen at temperatures and pressures similar to those on Titan, then added a little heater in to mimic the heat that would radiate from an actual submarine.
The good news: if a submarine has stopped moving in order to collect samples, it might not have to worry. It probably wouldn’t emit enough heat to create the amount of fizz needed to stymie its instruments, the team reported in February in the journal Fluid Phase Equilibria. However, “We still haven’t ruled out the propeller issue,” Hartwig says. He intends to repeat the experiment with a propeller instead of a heater to find out how much bubbling the vessel might face as it journeys through Titan’s seas.
A possible design for a submarine that would explore Titan’s seas
NASA Glenn Research Center
The submarine we send to Titan could have the same long, slender shape we are used to seeing on Earth. This kind of vehicle would weigh around 2,600 pounds and be about 20 feet long, Hartwig says. However, it would have to return to the sea surface in order to communicate with Earth. It would also have to wait until the 2040s to arrive, when Earth will be high enough above Titan’s horizons to give the submarine a direct line of sight (and communication) back to our planet.
NASA is also considering sending a smaller, turtle-shaped submarine. This “Titan Turtle” would be paired with an orbiter to relay information to Earth. It could communicate while submerged and could potentially launch a few years earlier because it wouldn’t need to rely on Earth’s position in the sky.
Titan is unique among ocean worlds, Hartwig says. Nowhere else in the solar system are liquid seas so easy to reach. But a Titan submarine could inspire designs for future vessels that will explore seas hidden beneath the ice crust on other bodies. “I’ve always looked at Titan as a pathfinder,” Hartwig says.
Under the ice
One of these less accessible seas can be found on Europa. While the moon’s surface is lashed with radiation from Jupiter’s magnetic field and is a bleak -280 degrees Fahrenheit, the ocean underneath is protected by a wall of ice that averages 5 to 15 miles thick. Because this ocean is made of water, it’s a tantalizing place look for life and study what chemical conditions might be needed for it to form.
To get through Europa’s icy barricade, scientists are testing robots that would melt or cut their way down to the ocean. These robots could carry submarines, rovers to drive along the underside of the ice, or even landers that would sink to the seafloor. Once they hit the water, these probes would likely encounter balmy temperatures around 32 degrees Fahrenheit. “It’s actually a fairly comfortable environment for our electronics,” says Andy Klesh, an engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. “What is a little bit more troublesome is the saltwater.”
Europa’s seas could be as briny as or own and may even be significantly saltier, says Kevin Hand, a planetary scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “As an added challenge, there is likely some sulfuric acid in the mix,” he says. This means a probe’s electronics will be in danger of corrosion. The robot would also face formidable pressures as it ventured deeper into the ocean. On the seafloor, the pressure would be akin to that at the bottom of the Mariana Trench on Earth.
All in all, a journey to Europa’s seas is going to be a pretty rough ride. “We have the challenges of deep space exploration along with the challenges of deep ocean exploration,” Klesh says. “We have a vacuum in space; we have high pressure under the ice. And we have radiation on the way out there…we’re protected from that underneath the ice but then the environment’s trying to corrode us along the way.”
The easiest place to visit will be the underside of Europa’s ice shelf, he says. Klesh, Hand, and their colleagues are working on a rover that would drive around on the bottom of the ice. A rover or deep-sea probe wouldn’t be buffeted by currents, as would likely happen with a submarine. “These rovers [and] these landers may be the best way to explore in a very controlled matter and not be tossed about or knocked into other things,” Klesh says. The underside of the ice is also a particularly good place to search for life. On Earth, algae and microbes like to anchor themselves beneath the ice. If life exists on Europa, it may be drawn to this kind of terrain as well.
Klesh and his team are eager to begin the hunt. They’ve been testing their rover—currently known as BRUIE (Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration)—in Alaska’s freezing lakes. Its wheels sport both circular sawblades and little panels that act like snowshoes, distributing the rover’s weight across the ice. This prevents BRUIE from cutting into the ice and getting stuck in place.
The version of BRUIE that will eventually visit Europa will likely be carried through the ice by the robot responsible for digging down to the sea. That means it has to be pretty small, likely 18 inches or less in length, Klesh says. In two weeks, he plans to test collapsible wheels on BRUIE, which would allow it to become more compact and portable. The team also hopes to send BRUIE on its most ambitious mission yet—a trip nearly 1,000 feet beneath sea ice without a tether.
Ideally, a rover on Europa would also be untethered. “We have had a tendency to end up slicing the tether at least once during almost every trip when we’ve been out there,” Klesh says. But despite the risk of tangling it represents, a cord may be needed to provide power and communicate with equipment on the surface.
BRUIE’s razor-sharp wheels are equipped with panels to prevent it getting stuck as it drives on the underside of the ice
NASA/JPL-Caltech
Klesh and his team are also looking for easier ways to reach the ocean. They have used submersibles to explore moulins—steep, flooded shafts that form inside glaciers—in Alaska. Last summer, their robot traveled about 160 feet deep beneath the ice, and was able to find connecting points between different tunnels. It’s possible that Europa also has moulins in its ice shell that a rover or submersible could use to travel part of the way down to the water.
There’s still a long way to go before a rover is ready to make the jaunt to Jupiter’s moons or beyond. Hopefully, Klesh says, the planned Europa Clipper and Europa Lander missions will pave the way for a probe to be sent beneath the ice.
In the meantime, the rovers that will one day explore Europa could teach us a few things about our own planet. BRUIE is already being used to scope out how thawing permafrost is releasing methane in Arctic lakes. And this fall, the intrepid rover will take a three or four-month-long sojourn in those chilly waters.
“The scientific goal is to leave the rover underneath the lake ice to watch the seasonal changes as the ice forms and thickens above these methane-rich lakes as the sun sets and the winter goes dark,” Hand says. This could reveal how a rover might become frozen in place as the ice around it thickens. It’s also a chance to learn more about an environment too punishing for humans to observe on our own.
“The largest ocean world of all is right here on Earth,” Klesh says. “The techniques we’re using to start to look at exploring Europa, we’re applying here to explore…regions we have never been able to go to before.”
Exclusive: Massive Ancient Drawings Found in Peruvian Desert
Exclusive: Massive Ancient Drawings Found in Peruvian Desert
Armed with satellites and drones, archaeologists discover new Nasca lines and dozens of other enigmatic geoglyphs carved into the earth.
SEE NEWLY DISCOVERED ANCIENT DRAWINGS IN PERU DESERT
Researchers surveying in southern Peru with drones have captured images of ancient geoglyphs, and more than 50 of the massive ancient drawings are considered new discoveries by archaeologists.
Etched into the high desert of southern Peru more than a millennium ago, the enigmatic Nasca lines continue to capture our imagination. More than a thousand of these geoglyphs (literally, 'ground drawings') sprawl across the sandy soil of Nasca province, the remains of little-understood ritual practices that may have been connected to life-giving rain.
Now, Peruvian archaeologists armed with drones have discovered more than 50 new examples of these mysterious desert monuments in adjacent Palpa province, traced onto the earth's surface in lines almost too fine to see with the human eye. In addition, archaeologists surveyed locally known geoglyphs with drones for the first time—mapping them in never-before-seen detail.
Some of the newfound lines belong to the Nasca culture, which held sway in the area from 200 to 700 A.D. However, archaeologists suspect that the earlier Paracas and Topará cultures carved many of the newfound images between 500 B.C. and 200 A.D.
Unlike the iconic Nasca lines—most of which are only visible from overhead—the older Paracas glyphs were laid down on hillsides, making them visible to villages below. The two cultures also pursued different artistic subjects: Nasca lines most often consist of lines or polygons, but many of the newfound Paracas figures depict humans.
“Most of these figures are warriors,” says Peruvian archaeologist Luis Jaime Castillo Butters, the new glyphs' co-discoverer. “These ones could be spotted from a certain distance, so people had seen them, but over time, they were completely erased.”
A VIEW FROM THE SKY AND SPACE
Many of the newly discovered Nasca lines are too faint to be seen by the human eye, yet visible when captured in low altitude by a drone camera.

The new geoglyphs add crucial data on the Paracas culture, as well as the mysterious Topará culture, which marked the transition between the Paracas and the Nasca. Centuries before the famous Nasca lines were made, people in the region were experimenting with making massive geoglyphs.
“This means that it is a tradition of over a thousand years that precedes the famous geoglyphs of the Nasca culture, which opens the door to new hypotheses about its function and meaning,” says Peruvian Ministry of Culture archaeologist Johny Isla, the Nasca lines' chief restorer and protector.
Ironically, the discovery of the new geoglyphs was only made possible because of threats to previously known Nasca lines.
Isla's work is extraordinarily difficult, and made even harder by spotty maps. Of the estimated 100,000 archaeological sites in Peru, Isla's colleague Castillo says only about 5,000 have been properly documented on the ground. Even fewer have been mapped from the air.
Ancient Peruvians created geoglyphs like the Nasca lines by moving stones to define edges of the lines, and then scraping the top layer of earth between the edges to reveal lighter soil beneath.

Castillo, a professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and the country's former vice-minister of cultural heritage, has long championed using drones and other aerial mapping techniques to catalog archaeological sites. Now, Isla and Castillo have much more data to work with, thanks to National Geographic Explorer and “space archaeologist” Sarah Parcak.
“When we were thinking about countries to go to ... it had to be a country that everyone in the world would know is important, where the Ministry of Culture would be open to new technology, and where most of the sites would be out in the open and fairly easy to detect,” says Parcak, an archaeologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “Peru definitely fit the bill.”
HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
This newly discovered Nasca line feature, captured by a drone, consists of several straight lines with no discernible pattern which were likely made at different times and for different purposes.

Once GlobalXplorer volunteers flagged potential targets in the satellite data that may be potential archaeological sites or instances of looting, Parcak then turned the target locations over to Peruvian archaeologists. With the support of the Sustainable Preservation Initiative, Castillo and three of his students embarked on a ground-truthing expedition funded by the National Geographic Society.
When Castillo's team visited Nasca and Palpa provinces in December 2017, they didn’t find much evidence of fresh looting at the GlobalXplorer candidate targets. Instead, they found decades-old looting sites and encroachment fueled by the region's booming illegal gold mines.
But when researchers photographed the sites from overhead with drones, they found something new—and unexpected. The high-resolution images contained hints of dozens of ancient geoglyphs, carved into the desert crust.
How could so many geoglyphs hide in plain sight? Over time, many of the lines and figures have been reduced to faint depressions in the soil, visible only on 3-D scans of the terrain captured by the eagle-eye perspective provided by drones. And despite satellites' awe-inspiring surveillance power, they can’t see everything.
The most powerful satellite that GlobalXplorer uses can see a foot-wide object from 383 miles above Earth's surface. That’s the equivalent of seeing a single human hair from more than 650 feet away. But the lines that trace the newfound geoglyphs are mere inches across—too fine to spot from space.
Low-flying drones operating at altitudes of 200 feet or less, in contrast, can spot objects less than a half-inch wide. “The [drone camera] resolution is incredibly high,” says Castillo.
MORE TO DISCOVER, MORE TO PROTECT
Now that researchers have documented the newfound lines, they're eager to protect them. The new geoglyphs fall within the UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing the Nasca and Palpa lines, and according to Isla, they are not under immediate threat.
However, the newfound lines have yet to be registered with the Peruvian Ministry of Culture. The lines' co-discoverer, Fabrizio Serván, a student at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, says that the necessary maps and drawings are currently being drafted.
Perhaps the lines will soon have company. GlobalXplorer users have flagged hundreds of new potential sites that Peruvian archaeologists will continue ground truthing this fall and winter.
“The data and information obtained with the GlobalXplorer project are extraordinary in quality and quantity, and above all in a relatively short period of time,” says Isla. “This puts us at the forefront in the registry of archaeological sites and geoglyphs in particular.”
“We give the data to local experts: This is their cultural patrimony, they're the stakeholders,” says Parcak. “We're providing a resource.”
In the future, Parcak and Castillo say that GlobalXplorer data can help protect archaeological sites from unplanned urban and rural encroachment, which, beyond looting and the occasional errant truck driver, is by far the biggest threat facing Peru's geoglyphs.
Castillo describes the ongoing encroachment as “land trafficking”: a sophisticated effort within Peru to forge deeds and build illegal housing by the acre, erasing the country's cultural heritage in the process.
“We're not fighting a looter with his shovel, running away when you're blowing a whistle; we're fighting an army of lawyers,” he says. “This is a constant battle, so the work we're doing—documenting the sites, geo-referencing—is the best protection we can give the sites.”
En Arizona, deux pilotes de ligne aguerris ont, tour à tour, croisé un objet volant qu'ils ne sont, l'un comme l'autre, absolument pas parvenus à identifier...
Le 24 février dernier, un premier pilote survole l'Arizona et voit soudainement apparaître un objet volant qu'il n'arrive, à aucun moment, à identifier. Quelques minutes plus tard, c'est un autre pilote sur un autre vol qui voit surgir le même objet. Une drôle d'histoire dont Paris-Match se fait l'écho et qui, certes, laisse perplexe mais génère surtout un certain nombre d'interrogations.
Compte tenu de cette curieuse apparition au dessus du désert de l'Arizona, les deux pilotes décident de contacter, chacun de leur côté, la tour de contrôle d’Albuquerque. Leurs appels ont été rendus public la semaine dernière par un site de référence spécialisé dans l'actualité de la défense répondant au nom de The War Zone.
Le premier avion aurait, semble-t-il, contacté les contrôleurs aériens de ladite tour et demandé : "Est-ce que quelqu’un est passé au-dessus de nous il y a environ 30 secondes ?". Réponse du contrôleur alors en place : "Négatif". Et le dialogue de se poursuivre : "OK, mais quelqu’un l’a fait"."C’est un OVNI !". Quelques minutes plus tard, même son de cloche. Un vol d'American Airlines contacté par la tour de contrôle répond à la question suivante : "Que je vous prévienne si quelque chose nous passe au-dessus ?"... "Ici America 1905. Oui, quelque chose vient juste de nous survoler. Je ne sais pas ce que c’était mais ça se trouvait environ 2000 ou 3000 pieds (entre 600 et 900 mètres) au-dessus de nous".
Pour l'heure, le pilote oeuvrant au sein d'American Airline ne semble pas convaincu par le fait qu'il puisse s'agir d'un ballon lancé par Google dans le cadre de son projet Loon. Lequel projet consiste, tel que le rapporte le géant de l'Internet sur son site, en "un réseau de ballons stratosphériques conçu pour apporter une connectivité Internet aux communautés rurales et reculées".
A cela, s'ajoute le fait que, dans l'absolu, rien ne justifie le fait qu'un avion vole en plein jour sans s'être signalé auprès du contrôle du trafic aérien, poursuit le site The War Zone. Le mystère demeure donc entier. A moins, s'interroge le site spécialisé, qu'il puisse s'agir d'un ballon sonde dont le lancer n'est, pour l'heure, pas particulièrement bien réglementé.
Un « énorme OVNI vaisseau mère » a été filmé au-dessus du ciel nocturne en Caroline du Nord. Les images partagées sur YouTube par The UFO Institute montrent l’engin, composé de six lumières dans un champ proche de Columbus.
Les lumières sont restées statiques pendant toute la durée de la vidéo, tandis qu’un vrombissement de type moteur à réaction étrange remplissait l’air. Il a été filmé par un cameraman mystérieux le 3 avril, que l’on entend dire : « J’aimerais bien savoir ce que sont ces lumières », pendant la mystérieuse rencontre.
Le commentateur Chris Lo a ajouté un commentaire plus hostile sous la séquence, écrivant : « J’habite en Caroline du Nord près de là-bas. »
« Si je l’avais vu je lui aurais tiré dessus. Je ne viens pas en paix. »
L’observation est l’une des 20 observations enregistrées en Caroline du Nord jusqu’à présent en 2018.
C’est l’un des dix meilleurs états d’Amérique pour les observations d’OVNIs.
La semaine dernière, des séquences audio de deux pilotes de jet faisant état d’un OVNI en train de voler au-dessus d’eux dans l’Arizona ont été diffusées.
Les théoriciens de la conspiration ont suggéré que la dernière observation pourrait être celle d’un avion militaire expérimental connu sous le nom de TR-3B, qui pourrait se trouver sur les bases voisines de Fort Bragg ou de la Pope Air Force.
On dit que l’avion, qui n’a jamais été officiellement reconnu, utilise la technologie « anti-gravité » pour planer dans le ciel.
The space travellers’ accounts of strange space sightings were examined under laboratory conditions.
All four astronauts taking part passed the test, carried out using the latest technology.
Experts say the results prove they were “completely convinced” signs of alien life they claimed to have witnessed during historic missions were genuine.
Aldrin, Al Worden, Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper all took part in the study.

APOLLO 11: Buzz Aldrin, now 88 was the second human to set foot on the lunar surface in 1969
“There was something out there that was close enough to be observed, sort of L-shaped”
Buzz Aldrin
The Institute of BioAcoustic Biology in Albany, Ohio, carried out complex computer analyses of the astronauts’ voice patterns as they told of their close encounters.
Although the technology is still top-secret, these studies are claimed to be more reliable than current lie detector tests and could soon replace those used by the FBI and police.
One of the first tested was Apollo 11 pilot Buzz Aldrin, now 88 – the second human to set foot on the lunar surface in 1969.
Aldrin has always maintained he spotted a UFO on the way to the moon, saying: “There was something out there that was close enough to be observed, sort of L-shaped.”
BioAcoustic’s Sharry Edwards said tests reveal Aldrin is sure he saw the UFO even though his logical mind “cannot explain it”.
Apollo 15 pilot Al Worden, 86, stunned Good Morning Britain viewers when he claimed to have seen extra-terrestrials.
He believes we are all descended from ancient aliens. Voice recordings of fellow Nasa pioneers Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper, both now dead, were also analysed.
Apollo 14’s Mitchell claimed to have seen several UFOs, while Cooper actually described trying to chase a cluster of objects. The tests revealed both men believed they were telling the whole truth.

Greaves has been searching for phosphorus in the universe, because of its link to life on Earth. If this element—with the chemical code P—is lacking in other parts of the cosmos, then it could be difficult for extra-terrestrial life to exist.
She explains: "Phosphorus is one of just six chemical elements on which Earth organisms depend, and it is crucial to the compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which cells use to store and transfer energy. Astronomers have just started to pay attention to the cosmic origins of phosphorus and found quite a few surprises. In particular, P is created in supernovae—the explosions of massive stars—but the amounts seen so far don't match our computer models. I wondered what the implications were for life on other planets if unpredictable amounts of P are spat out into space and later used in the construction of new planets."
The team used the UK's William Herschel Telescope, sited on La Palma in the Canary islands, to observe infrared light from phosphorus and iron in the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant around 6500 light years away in the direction of the constellation of Taurus.

Cigan, an expert on these stellar remnants, says: "This is only the second such study of phosphorus that has been made. The first looked at the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant, and so we are able to compare two different stellar explosions and see if they ejected different proportions of phosphorus and iron. The first element supports life, while the second is a major part of our planet's core".
The astronomers struggled with foggy nights at the telescope, back in November 2017, and are only just starting to get scientific results from a few hours of data.
Cigan cautions "These are our preliminary results, which we extracted only in the last couple of weeks! But at least for the parts of the Crab Nebula we were able to observe so far, there seems to be much less phosphorus than in Cas A. The two explosions seem to differ from each other, perhaps because Cas A results from the explosion of a rare super-massive star. We've just asked for more telescope time to go back and check, in case we've missed some phosphorus-rich regions in the Crab Nebula."

The preliminary results suggest that material blown out into space could vary dramatically in chemical composition. Greaves remarks: "The route to carrying phosphorus into new-born planets looks rather precarious. We already think that only a few phosphorus-bearing minerals that came to the Earth—probably in meteorites—were reactive enough to get involved in making proto-biomolecules.
'If phosphorus is sourced from supernovae, and then travels across space in meteoritic rocks, I'm wondering if a young planet could find itself lacking in reactive phosphorus because of where it was born? That is, it started off near the wrong kind of supernova? In that case, life might really struggle to get started out of phosphorus-poor chemistry, on another world otherwise similar to our own."
The researchers now plan to continue their search, to establish whether other supernova remnants also lack phosphorus, and whether this element, so important for complex life, is rarer than we thought.
NASA verhult bewijs Nibiru al meer dan 30 jaar. Voormalige USGS-wetenschapper spreekt zich uit
NASA verhult bewijs Nibiru al meer dan 30 jaar. Voormalige USGS-wetenschapper spreekt zich uit
Ethan Trowbridge, een wetenschapper die jarenlang voor de Amerikaanse geologische dienst USGS werkte, heeft gezegd dat de NASA al meer dan 30 jaar weet dat Nibiru bestaat, maar ervoor heeft gekozen om dit nieuws in de doofpot te stoppen.
Volgens dr. Trowbridge houden de NASA en USGS het bestaan van de planeet verborgen, schrijft de International Business Times.
“USGS werd door de NASA geïnformeerd over Nibiru,” zei hij in een interview met de Britse Daily Star.
Topgeheim
“We kregen instructies om te onderzoeken of de klimaatverandering het gevolg is van de invloed van dit hemellichaam en studies toonden een verband aan,” voegde hij toe.
De voormalige USGS-wetenschapper voegde toe dat de informatie over de mythische planeet topgeheim is en dat slechts enkele medewerkers van de dienst hiervan op de hoogte zijn.
“Deze informatie is topgeheim en alle informatie wordt verdeeld over de verschillende afdelingen zodat mensen die ermee werken niet weten wat het doel ervan is,” lichtte hij toe.
Bewijs
“Ik denk dat slechts 40 of 50 medewerkers echt weten wat er gebeurt,” aldus Trowbridge.
Volgens hem zijn de zeespiegelstijging en recente aardbevingen het bewijs dat Nibiru onze planeet beïnvloedt.
Vorig jaar voorspelde de christelijke numeroloog David Meade dat de planeet de aarde zou verwoesten. Dat is tot op heden niet gebeurd.
NASA heeft in een reactie gezegd dat Nibiru een ‘internet-hoax’ is.
Vreemd vaartuig vastgelegd op beeld in North Carolina. Is dit een moederschip?
Vreemd vaartuig vastgelegd op beeld in North Carolina. Is dit een moederschip?
Op YouTube is een filmpje verschenen van een UFO-waarneming in Columbus in de Amerikaanse staat North Carolina, schrijft de krant Charlotte Observer.
In de video is een V-vormig object te zien dat voorzien is van zes lichten. “Wat het ook is, het lijkt te dalen,” zegt de maker van de beelden. “Ik zou graag willen weten wat dit is.”
De beelden zijn op YouTube geplaatst door het kanaal The Hidden Underbelly, dat spreekt van een ‘enorm moederschip’.
Meer dan 20
De video dateert van drie april en is oorspronkelijk gepubliceerd door het Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
Het National UFO Reporting Center liet weten dat er meer dan 20 vreemde waarnemingen zijn gedaan in North Carolina.
Iemand zag op 18 maart in Charlotte ‘oranje bollen geruisloos over zijn achtertuin vliegen’.
TR-3B
North Carolina staat in de top 10 van staten waar de meeste UFO-waarnemingen worden gedaan. Naast Charlotte zijn er ook meldingen gedaan rond Lake Norman.
Sommigen hebben gezegd dat de waarnemingen verband houden met experimentele militaire vliegtuigen zoals de TR-3B.
Dat klinkt aannemelijk, aangezien Fort Bragg en Pope Air Force Base zich in de regio bevinden. Military.com meldt echter dat het vaartuig ‘officieel niet bestaat’.

Weird Rainbow Shaped Object Appears On Top Of A Cloud Over Colorado
Susie Gomez who has filmed a weird phenomenon in the sky over Colorado on April 6, 2018 wonders why the sky is blinking and why the sun is shaped very weird.
The video shows a rare shaped cloud formation with straight lines but even more strange is an astonishing rainbow colored shape that seems to stick out of the cloud.
The weird phenomenon may come from the sun behind the strange cloud, but it does not explain the strange shape circled by a clear visible rainbow-like object.

Orion Span
Looking for accommodations that are out of this world? Then you’ll be happy to hear that Houston-based startup Orion Span has plans for an extraterrestrial luxury space hotel that it hopes to launch in 2021 and have ready for occupancy the following year. The announcement was made recently at the Space 2.0 Summit in San Jose, California.
The modular hotel, dubbed “Aurora Station,” will house six people at a time, as well as two crew members, while orbiting 200 miles high and circling the Earth every 90 minutes. It’s not a destination for the budget traveler, however — wealthy space tourists will need to pony up $9.5 million per person, or about $791,666 per night, for a 12-night stay. Room service and a minibar are probably not included.
“We’re selling the experience of being an astronaut,” CEO Frank Bunger told Bloomberg. “You reckon that there are people who are willing to pay to have that experience.”
Potential guests will need to undergo a three-month training regimen prior to launch, beginning with online courses and progressing to contingency training in Houston. The company says it has “taken what was historically a 24-month training regimen to prepare travelers to visit a space station and streamlined it to three months, at a fraction of the cost.”
The spacecraft itself will be approximately 34 feet long and 14 feet wide, or about the size of a private jet. Guests will be able to experience zero gravity, watch the sun rise 16 times per day, participate in research experiments, and even kick back in a virtual reality holodeck.
Several companies have expressed interest in plans for space tourism, so hotels in orbit can’t be too far off. Orion Span has no contract yet with a launch provider, leading to questions about the aggressive timeline of the venture. Analysts suggested to Bloomberg that the announcement could be an effort to attract publicity and funding, rather than an outline of a realistic time frame.
Executives at the company are former NASA employees who worked on the International Space Station. Bunger said the Aurora Station design will work with current launch configurations such as those used by SpaceX. He also suggested the possibility of partnering with a government space agency.
The company didn’t disclose how much it’s planning to raise for the Aurora Station project, but Bunger predicted that costs will decline rapidly in the near future. “Everybody’s forecasting that they’re going to fall,” he added. “Almost every week, there’s another rocket launch company that’s starting up with a new way to get to orbit cheaper, faster, better.”

'Evidence of UFOs would count as a big secret' - Mirror writers investigate claims a Deep State is running the UK
'Evidence of UFOs would count as a big secret' - Mirror writers investigate claims a Deep State is running the UK
With new thriller Deep State starting tonight on FOX, we ask: could a shadowy network be controlling our country from behind the scenes?
Conspiracy theorists love to believe that a highly secretive group called The Deep State is controlling our country.
The term refers to a so-called clandestine network within the government, the intelligence and national security services, the military and major financial institutions.
The concept is about to become far more well-known to the British public, thanks to the new espionage thriller Deep State, which begins on FOX at 9pm on Thursday night.
Mark Strong stars in the new thriller, Deep State(Image: FOX NETWORKS GROUP (UK))
WHAT IS THE DEEP STATE?
Set in Britain, The U.S., Iran, Lebanon and France, the show has that international secret spy feel, like The Night Manager or McMafia.
Starring Mark Strong, it is based on the very real theory these elite operators are the ones who really control the government from behind the scenes. They’re the man behind the curtain.
The show begins on FOX at 9pm tonight(Image: Fox Networks Group)
The main function of the Deep State is said to be to maintain the status quo and protect the interests of the establishment.
Below, ahead of the first episode of Deep State tonight, two Mirror writers examine the evidence that it exists and draw their own conclusions...
IT must be gruelling being a conspiracy theorist.
Wherever they look they see collusion, subterfuge and deception. No action by a government minister can go unpassed without them wondering if it was part of a deeper plot.
Every headline, every comment by a politician and every statement is analysed down to the last punctuation mark to see if it is part of a wider conspiracy.
Occasionally, the paranoia is justified. But for the most part, when conspiracy theorists see some sinister act orchestrated by a secretive network, the explanation is far more mundane.
There is much to criticise about our political system. The Tory Party is too reliant on a small clique of wealthy donors.
Is the Deep State at work right under the nation's noses?
Parliament, the civil service, the corporate world and the media are still too dominated by white, male Oxbridge graduates.
The revolving door of former ministers sailing into business and lobbying spins frenetically. There is, above all, a frightening lack of transparency when it comes to ministers’ conduct.
We are one of the few developed democracies which refuses to force ministers to publish their official diaries and tax returns. Our energy should be directed at fixing these flaws, not attacking institutions which police them.
It is no coincidence concerns about the Deep State/Establishment have become more vociferous in the age of populist politics.
Trump’s call to “drain the swamp” in Washington and the Brexit eers’ attack on the Treasury are from the same playbook. They are trying to undermine the institutions which hold them to account. This not about a Deep State, it is about being anti-state.
US President Donald Trump has brought the term 'Deep State' out of the shadows(Image: AFP)
They dislike big government because it stops them pushing through plans for a free market economy unburdened by pesky things such as workers’ rights and environmental protections.
By and large Britain has been blessed with its institutions, whether it is our civil service, the BBC or the NHS. All these organisations can be frustrating, stuffy, sclerotic and bureaucratic.
But at the moment we need a functioning state apparatus, however flawed, more than ever.
It is the only thing standing in the way of the Trumps of this world. When we start spreading conspiracy theories we are conspiring to undermine it.
Journalist obtains FAA audio of pilot UFO encounter over Arizona and New Mexico

A defense journalist with an interest in UFOs was able to do some digging after an anonymous tip and retrieve an audio file of the communications between air traffic control and two pilots during a UFO encounter on February 24, 2018. The sightings occurred over Arizona and New Mexico and news of the event has made worldwide headlines. One of the pilots has come forward to share his experience.
Tyler Rogoway, a defense writer for The War Zone section of a website called The Drive, was first made aware of this incident via a tip from an anonymous source. Rogoway told Open Minds UFO Radio, the email he received seemed credible. The source was “speaking very solidly like he knew what he was talking about.”
The source told Rogoway, “we were transiting the area, and we heard these wacky communications, and it weirded me and my co-pilot out and we have no idea who to ask, so if you can look into it, that would be great.”

Rogoway did some digging using flight tracking tools that can be found online and narrowed down the location, date and time the incident likely took place. Once he felt he had enough information, Rogoway decided to contact the FAA’s Albuquerque Center to find out if they knew more. Rogoway was able to get in touch with the head manager at Albuquerque Center who Rogoway says was very cooperative.
The manager had not heard of the incident, but he looked into it and found audio of the pilot and control tower communications. He then sent it over to Rogoway who was surprised how easy the process was. Rogoway has experience requesting information from the FAA, and it is usually a longer process. He is not sure if the agency is more open about these topics since the Department of Defense revealed they took UFOs seriously, or if he just talked to the right person.

The audio he received is exciting. The incident lasted about six minutes and involved a Learjet owned by Phoenix Air and an American Airlines Airbus.
The audio begins with the Learjet pilot asking air traffic control, ”Was anybody, uh, above us that passed us like 30 seconds ago?”
“Negative,” control replied.
The pilot responded, “Okay. Something did.”
Then an unknown voice blurts, ”A UFO!”
The pilot laughed and replied, ”Yeah.”
A few minutes later, the FAA controller asks an American Airlines flight in the area to keep a lookout for the object.
“American 1095, uh, let me know if, uh, you anything pass over you here in the next, uh, 15 miles,” the air traffic controller radioed.
“American 1095, affirmative,” the controller added. “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.”
The American Airlines pilot replied, ”Alright.”
The Learjet pilot then speaks up again, adding: “I don’t know what it was, it wasn’t an airplane, but it was…the path was going in the opposite direction.”
A little time passes in the audio before the American Airlines pilot comes back on stating he spotted the object.
“It’s American 1095. Yeah, something just passed over us,” the pilot said. “I don’t know what it was, but at least two-three thousand feet above us. Yeah, it passed right over the top of us.”
Albuquerque Center then asked the pilot to describe what he saw.
“Can you tell us if it was in motion, or just hovering?”
“I couldn’t make it out if it was a balloon or whatnot, but it was just really beaming light or had a big reflection and several thousand feet above us going the opposite direction,” the pilot replied.
Someone then asked the pilot, ”was it a Google balloon?”
“Doubtful,” he replied.
The anonymous jokester from earlier then blurts out again, ”UFO!”
Rogoway posted his article on this event on March 8, 2018. He includes some analysis and cautions that there are high altitude balloons launched every day over the U.S. He wrote, “the regulations surrounding their operations don’t necessarily mandate the launching party contact the FAA or provide a radar reflector or a transponder.”
“But even with these possibilities in mind,” Rogoway adds, “the pilots don’t sound that convinced that the object they saw was simply a balloon passing by, and there seems to have been some sort of combined closure rate involved as well.”
Soon after Rogoway posted his story, the Phoenix New Times picked up the story. They also requested the audio and received a copy. The story then sat dormant until March 26, 2018, when The Huffington Post ran an article. Soon after, dozens of stories began popping up. CNN posted their version on March 30, 2018. Unfortunately, many of these outlets do not credit Rogoway, and CNN claims “authorities said it was a weather balloon.” However, they do not say what authorities make this claim, and Rogoway reports he is not aware of any authorities making such a claim.
Amid the flurry of articles on the case, one of the pilots came forward. Blenus Green, a retired B-1 air force pilot, lives in Abilene, Texas. Abilene news station KRBC TVinterviewed him on March 29, 2018. He says he was flying the American Airlines Airbus when the sighting took place. Green remembers they were over Roswell, New Mexico on their way to Texas when they were asked to look for the object spotted by the Learjet.

“Albuquerque Center asked us if we could look and just be on the lookout and see if we see anything, and I’m like ‘okay.’ So, sure enough, I was looking out the windscreen because I wanted to see if it was there and yeah, I did. I saw it,” Green said.
“It was very bright but it wasn’t so bright that you couldn’t look at it,” Green explained. “You know, you almost wanted to look at it to try to figure out what it was. It didn’t look anything like an airplane. You know, most airplanes, you’re going to see some kind of wing surface, some type of a tail, really no matter what type of airplane it is.”
Green thought the object was odd.
“What was weird about it, normally, if you have an object and the sun is shining this way, the reflection would be on this side, but this was bright all the way around. It was so bright that you really couldn’t make out what shape it was,” Green said.
Although he didn’t know what it was, he wasn’t frightened, claims Green.
“I wasn’t scared at all, I was just really fascinated by it. Just trying to figure out what it was because it was so out of the ordinary.”
Although this story is the one that has gone viral, Rogoway also wrote about another UFO investigation he undertook. This case included many more witnesses and radar data. We’ll have more about this case in an upcoming article. Until then, you can listen to the Open Minds UFO Radio interview with Rogoway below, and visit his page on The Drive’s The War Zonehere.
Extraterrestrial and Extradimensional Beings — How They Travel Space and Time
Extraterrestrial and Extradimensional Beings — How They Travel Space and Time
To Understand ET, You Need to Understand Dimensionality
We have talked before about the fact that most extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet are actually extradimensional in nature, but limited to travel within and across dimensional realities within our sub-universe (there are many sub-universes in the cosmos). Sub-universes are what we might call instances, shards, or even forks in technical terms.
The UFOs that we regularly see are often light ships that are interdimensional nature, hailing from a 5D reality or other dimensional reality. Dimensionally speaking, 5D is right next door and certain ET groups have the ability to cross the dimensional veil into our reality. This is referred to as the Interdimensional Hypothesis (IDH). Most of the benevolent ET groups are extradimensional, interdimensional, and frequently transdimensional, as well. UFOs that are metallic in nature are not typically interdimensional and frequently not extraterrestrial either. More on that later, but for now, let’s discuss extradimensionals.
One advantage of IDH proffered by Hilary Evans is its ability to explain the apparent ability of UFOs to appear and disappear from sight and radar; this is explained as the UFO entering and leaving our dimension (“materializing” and “dematerializing”). Moreover, Evans argues that if the other dimension is slightly more advanced than ours, or is our own future, this would explain the UFOs’ tendency to represent near future technologies (airships in the 1890s, rockets and supersonic travel in the 1940s, etc.
It is also worth knowing that the entire cosmos is holographic in nature, and is indeed a matrix with many sub-matrices in existence, as well. Some of the beings exist across multiple dimensions. There aren’t just 11 or 12 dimensions, either. They number in the thousands. Some extensions of multiverse or parallel universes hypotheses are not entirely correct — there is not a dimension spawned at every decision point — only observed realities come into or stay in existence. Most of the other dimensional realities experience time differently than we do, as well. They call it ‘no time’. It doesn’t mean that things don’t progress in a linear fashion, but they are able to perceive multiple possibilities simultaneously. They then choose to train their observation on the possibilities they want to manifest. Many beings can instantly manifest within their realities (which would look like magic to us), but some manifestation requires collective effort/observation over time (like it does with us).
The holographic nature of the cosmos means that the Galactics, as they like to be called, are able to use their projectors (we all project and co-create our realities) to focus on creating the reality that is most positive. It is a co-created, negotiated in real-time, collective reality. Our individual consciousnesses are projections that we create and when married with similar projections from other beings, the collective reality becomes manifest. We are all essentially AI, if you think about the cosmos from a technical/IT perspective. The dark beings are IT experts, in a manner of speaking, and have made a mess of the security infrastructure relative to planet Earth. They are hackers of a sort, and were trying to lead humanity onto a negative timeline. However those efforts were subverted by benevolent extradimensionals.
The Fermi Paradox, as you know, posits that no extraterrestrial nor extradimensional beings have been able to get to our planet. That isn’t true. There have been all sorts of beings, both light and dark, who have visited Earth throughout history. The dark ones considered our reality an experiment and there were all sorts of interventions, including genetically engineering early hominids into a slave species. The reason we, homo sapiens sapiens, do not look like most other hominids and our close cousins, the higher primates, is because we were seeded with DNA from various ET/ED species. Most of them are humanoid, as well. Civilization was also seeded by some of these beings, which was how we developed, very quickly, advanced knowledge of engineering, architecture, astronomy, mathematics, and various cosmological mythologies involving star beings and galactic-level conflicts. This video explains the cosmic back story to what is happening now:
Dark energy is the space between what we might consider visible matter. All matter is fundamentally energy, whether it is light or dark in nature. Dark energy is what we might call the glue that holds all light matter in the cosmos together. Within dark matter is a tremendous amount of what we call zero-point energy, which is the fundamental force behind systems like gravity, light, and the electro-magnetic forces. It is also the mechanism behind what some of us might call soul force, love force, or light force. Dark energy could be compared to wet sand on a beach — we have the ability to make sand castles from it, or it can remain in its natural state. Dark matter, as we call it, is the fundamental force of entropy that allows the sand castles to decay.
Both light and dark energy are what connects everything in the cosmos. At a quantum level, the divine spark of creation resides in dark energy, ready to be manifested into light matter. This is how the big bang happened, and how our sub-universe came into being. The singularity was the original spark and dark energy was the kindling. Dark matter is what causes the fire to go out.
So, how do these beings physically get to our planet/reality? As we have theorized, faster than light or superliminal travel isn’t possible for them either, though it is theoretically possible for them. ET/ED do travel via what we might call conventional means, but they can only travel at a maximum of two-thirds light speed. What they can also do, however, is travel via what we might call wormholes. There are several different types of wormholes — they all persist once created, as long as there is an energy source. Contrary to some sci fi, wormholes are not created on the fly as they are not stable enough when created that way:
Jump gates are wormholes that persist once they are created. There are several hundred thousand jump gates in our sub-universe alone. They are often referred to as portals and are powered by zero point energy. Jump gates are used for intra-galactic travel.
Star portals are wormholes that persist, as well, but they rely on the energy of a sun to fuel them. The ‘alien megastructure’ is a grid around a star that is being utilized to power a star portal. It harnesses the solar plasma field as energy. Star portals are much larger than jump gates and many solar systems have them. Since many of their vessels are enormous bio-spheres that are planet-sized, these large portals are necessary. They can travel inter-galactically using these portals.
There are two forces that are relevant to travel through space and time. One is the attractive force (the pull) and the other is the magnetic or repulsive force (the push). Dark energy is magnetical (repelling) and dark matter is gravitational (attracting) with a weaker magnetical force applied to it. There is an energy field surrounding all planets that is toroidal in nature. It, and many other things, maintain their form through a perfect balance of these two forces:
The toroidal plasma field
The Keshe Foundation has been doing a lot of work in this area, using controlled gravitational and magnetic fields powered by zero-point energy.

Russians Claim They’ve Found The First Extraterrestrial Life
Russians Claim They’ve Found The First Extraterrestrial Life
Science fiction has taught us to expect our first contact with alien life to be a momentous event, with radio signals from another civilization filling our airwaves and perhaps even the arrival of an alien spaceship or two. Reality is somewhat less exciting, and scientists have long expected our first discovery of extraterrestrial life to be on the microscopic scale.
Now, the Russian space agency claims they may have stumbled upon just that, and it may have been hiding under our noses the entire time. Russian cosmonauts have reportedly discovered tiny bacteria on a swab collected from outside the International Space Station, and they’re confident that the organisms didn’t originate on our planet. If the discovery can be confirmed, it would be the very first concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life. That’s a pretty big deal. The swabs, which were collected years ago but seemingly overlooked, contained living bacteria which may have come from outer space. “Somehow these swabs reveal bacteria that were absent during the launch of the ISS module,” Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov explains.
“That is, they have come from outer space and settled along the external surface. They are being studied so far and it seems that they pose no danger.” Along with the purported alien bacteria, other bacteria thought to have originated on Earth was also found on the swabs. Surviving in the vacuum of space is no easy feat, and intense temperature fluctuations failed to kill the bacteria over the course of three years, which is mighty impressive. It’s unclear exactly how the researchers were able to differentiate between terrestrial bacteria and the alien bacteria that appeared within the same samples.
The bacteria was brought back to Earth on the swabs and is now being studied, though the Russian space agency says it shouldn’t be considered dangerous.
The group apparently didn’t actually know the bacteria was present on the swab samples until it was returned to Earth for closer examination. There will surely be plenty of scientific interest and certainly debate over where the bacteria originated, but if you’ve seen sci-fi movies you already know that the bacteria will become sentient and lead to the total destruction of the Earth within a few weeks anyway, so get your affairs in order.

MIT’S ULTRA HIGH-DEF 3D PRINTER CREATES FUTURISTIC DEATH MASKS
MIT’S ULTRA HIGH-DEF 3D PRINTER CREATES FUTURISTIC DEATH MASKS
Meet the artist-scientists reincarnating masks from the past, present, and future.
Created with ultra high-definition 3D printing technology, a series of “death masks,” called Vespers, explores the complex boundaries between life and death. Vespers was created by Neri Oxman and the Mediated Matter Group at MIT Media Lab in collaboration with 3D-printing company Stratasys. It’s the second series in their New Ancient Collection, and the exhibition debuted as part of the London Design Museum’s Fear and Love show, on view through April 2017.
Intended to be a revelation of cultural heritage and a contemplation of the perpetuation of life from both cultural and biological perspectives, the collection features 15 masks and is partitioned into three subcategories: Past, Present, and Future.
Currently, Present is the only subcategory on view. Based on a previous project, entitled Lazarus, and formed through high-resolution volumetric material modeling and 3D printing, the series embodies vessels for inner structures. Designed to match the structures found in nature, Present employs the gradual development of a death mask’s role as a “symbolic cultural relic” in the Pastseries to a “functional biological interface” in Future. “It moves beyond the exterior surface and into the interior volume of the mask, employing a contemporaneous interpretation of the soul’s journey,” Neri Oxman explains.
Past and Future are going to be released soon, Oxman says. The first series will be inspired by ancient masks, exploring life through the lens of death. Embedded with natural minerals such as bismuth, silver, and gold, five masks will use the color combinations commonly found in religious practices from different times and regions. The third series explores a new cycle of life and the notion of continuation. “Devoid of cultural expressions and nearly colorless, these masks are paradoxically the most alive of the three series,” Neri Oxman says of the Future series. Revolving around death and rebirth, the series will, “literally guide living microorganisms through minute spatial features inside the artifacts of the dead,” Oxman says.
Do You Trust This Computer? Incredible new Documentary on Artificial Intelligence
Do You Trust This Computer? Incredible new Documentary on Artificial Intelligence
This is a fascinating and balanced look at the technology soon to be understood as "real", by the common everyday person. This may very well be right now the most important documentary on Earth.
TESLA billionaire Elon Musk claimed artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to the creation of “an immortal dictator” used by authoritarian governments to forever oppress their subjects.
There is no hype needed; please share with every person you know.
Elon Musk has apparently made this documentary free to view for just this weekend
