Aliens May Be Real, But Are Probably Trapped On Their Planets Say Scientists
Aliens May Be Real, But Are Probably Trapped On Their Planets Say Scientists
Scientists analyzed in two different scientific papers how hard it would be for aliens living on Super Earth’s—planets ten times the size of Earth—to reach space using rockets.
Elon Musk is currently developing the ‘Big F*cking Rocket’, but as it turns out Aliens would need an even Bigger F*cking Rocket to reach space, due to the gravitational pull of Super Earth’s.
According to a recent research paper that discusses alien life, if extraterrestrial beings are out there somewhere, they might be trapped by the gravity of their home planet.
Experts have researched just how hard it would be to launch a rocket into space from a Super Earth—planets in the universe believed to be up to TEN times the size of our world.
Astronomers have found that a large number of Super-Earth’s orbit their host star in the so-called Goldilocks-zone, the area in space around the star where the planet’s surface temperature is ideal to support life as we know it.
Now, scientists have analyzed just how hard it would be to reach space from such a world.

Experts calculated the gravitational pull of Super-Earth’s and found that it would be nearly impossible to launch a spacecraft into space, from the surface of these supermassive planets.
That is, using the technology we’ve developed on Earth.
Experts have calculated that to launch a spacecraft like the one that took mankind to the moon, a rocket would need a mass of approximately 400,000 metric tons, because of fuel requirements, researchers have found.
This means that for an alien civilization to reach space, they’d have to come up with rockets that don’t necessarily rely on chemical fuel.
study author Michael Hippke, an independent researcher affiliated with the Sonneberg Observatory in Germany, told Space.com that: “Many rocky exoplanets are heavier and larger than the Earth and have higher surface gravity, This makes space-flight on these worlds very challenging, because the required fuel mass for a given payload is an exponential function of planetary surface gravity.”
“On more-massive planets, spaceflight would be exponentially more expensive. Such civilizations would not have satellite TV, a moon mission or a Hubble Space Telescope,” added Hippke.
Here on Earth, we can overcome the gravitational pull of our planet with the use of massive rockets. For example, there’s Elon Musk’s upcoming space vehicle dubbed ‘Big Fucking Rocket.’
However, aliens on distant Super Earth’s might need an evenBigger f*cking rocket.
Two separate studied have taken a look whether it would be possible even to build a rocket powerful enough to beat the gravitational pull of distant super-Earth’s.
In one scientific paper, Hippke investigated just how hard it would be to launch a rocket into space from a hypothetical super-Earth that was around severity percent wider, and ten times more massive compared to Earth. Curiously, these are the approximate dimensions of an alien world dubbed Kepler-20b, located some 950 light years from Earth.
Falcon Heavy lifts off on its maiden flight, putting out about 5 million pounds of thrust, February 6, 2018. The 710-metric-ton rocket can put about 32 tons into low-Earth orbit.

Hippke found that in this super world, the escape velocity needed to reach space would be 2.4 times greater than that on our home planet.
Here on Earth, spacecraft need to achieve an escape velocity of around 40,000 kilometers per hour.
“Civilizations from super-Earths are much less likely to explore the stars. Instead, they would be to some extent arrested on their home planet and, for example, make more use of lasers or radio telescopes for interstellar communication instead of sending probes or spaceships,” said Hippke.
One possibility is that potential alien civilizations inhabiting super-Earth’s could use their home planet’s tallest mountaintops to launch a vehicle to space.
However, given the severe gravity on the planet, mountains would grow very tall, suggest scientists.
All of this doesn’t mean that aliens on super Earth’s cant go to space. It only means—hypothetically—that they would need to come up with different methods to achieve their goals.
In addition to Hippke’s scientific paper, another study, published by Dr. Abraham Loeb from Harvard University suggests that nuclear-powered spaceflight may be achieved by distant alien civilizations on large massive planets, helping them overcome strong gravitational pulls.
“An advanced extraterrestrial civilization could use other propulsion methods, such as nuclear engines or light sails which are not constrained by the same limitations as chemical propulsion and can reach speeds as high as a tenth of the speed of light. Our civilization is currently developing these alternative propulsion technologies, but these efforts are still in their infancy,” said Dr. Loeb.

NURSE REVEALS TOP SECRET ALIEN INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTS FROM ROSWELL, 1947
NURSE REVEALS TOP SECRET ALIEN INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTS FROM ROSWELL, 1947
It has been nearly 5 years since the Alien Interview transcripts were published, as requested by Army Air Force Nurse MacElroy. (Read her letter below) It has now been 66 years since the Roswell crash incident in 1947 revealed that we are not alone in the universe. The pilot of the crashed saucer revealed a great deal during the interviews that were conducted over the following 6 weeks. ALL of that information was suppressed by the U.S. Government, until 2008 when the interview transcripts were published in the book ALIEN INTERVIEW. If you have read these transcripts, you will realized WHY the Roswell incident, and the interview transcripts were so heavily and thoroughly hidden and covered-up!
These interviews reveal — for the first time in Earth history — the straight forward, simple fact that Earth is a Prison Planet! Further, that all of the Immortal Spiritual Beings (Is-Bes) on this planet are NOT native to this planet. Finally, that the “Old Empire” beings who established Earth as a prison planet more than 10,000 years ago, has been conquered by a new intergalactic invasion force, called The Domain.
The influence of the “Old Empire” prison system operation are can be seen everywhere on planet Earth, if you are brave enough to LOOK. The “prison guards” — who are also prisoners with amnesia — are quickly advancing a new Global Totalitarian Socialist Police State in the name of a “New World Order”. The ONLY PURPOSE and ACTIVITY of these criminally psychotic beings is to PREVENT ESCAPE FROM THIS PRISON!
In an excerpt from the following letter written by the Army Air Force nurse who conducted the
“alien interviews”, she reveals the following advice that isVITALLY IMPORTANTto the existence of every living being on Earth. Therefore, a small group of individuals have now dedicated themselves to the task ofCOMMUNICATINGthis information to as many people as possible! I invite you to join us in this effort. Factually, if we continue to remain silent and inactive, every being on this planet will perish here on Prison Planet Earth, and will be lost for all Eternity.
It was a landmark feat: a space mission entered the orbit of a distant comet for the first time.
The European Space Agency’s Rosetta rendezvoused with Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in the outer reaches of the Solar System.
After ten years of traveling through deep space, powered mainly by solar cells, Rosetta neared the comet not far (relatively speaking) from the orbit of Jupiter, and started circling it.
In November 2014, Rosetta released a tiny lander onto the mysterious comet to have a closer look — the first time we’ve ever dispatched a robotic lander on a comet’s rocky surface.
And the view was breathtaking. The lander sent back a series of images straight from the surface of 67P. A couple of years later, Twitter user Iandru79 created this animated short clip from a series of long exposures, taken back in 2016.
You know what, you should really just watch it:

Amid a series of setbacks with NASA’s James Webb Telescope, the astronomycommunity is understandably bummed. This much-hyped ‘scope could allow scientists to peer into the atmospheres of exoplanets like the ones found in TRAPPIST-1 with unprecedented detail. The problem is, the mission is having a really hard time getting off the ground, literally and figuratively.
Faherty, an astrophysicist, tells Inverse on episode four of I Need My Space(available now on Apple Podcasts), that this massive data dump — which drops Wednesday morning at 6 a.m. Eastern — could be even more extensive than JWST. It just hasn’t gotten much publicity in the states.
“Gaia I think, was always going to rival or exceed JWST in some ways,” she tells me on INMS. “Because it’s a European mission from ESA, very few people in the United States are paying attention to it. Even astronomers who know it’s coming are not preparing like I think they should, because the European missions have far less publicity.”
The Gaia space observatory orbits the sun, remaining about 1.5 million kilometers (roughly 93,200 miles). Launched in 2013, the ESA says the project’s mission is “to create the most accurate map of the Galaxy to date.” So far, it seems well on its way to doing that.
Gaia’s first data set, made public in September 2016, provided information about the luminosity and location of about 1.1 billion stars. The ESA writes that in the second data release, the spacecraft will provide the “positions and brightnesses for nearly 1.7 billion stars, distances, motions and color information for 1.3 billion, and a number of additional parameters for smaller subsets of stars and other celestial objects.”
“[INMS listeners] may have never even heard of this mission, I will tell you out of the gate this revolutionizes astronomy,” Faherty tells me. “It’s the most ambitious astronomy mission of all-time. Far more ambitious than JWST, arguably, and it will change everything we know about stars in our galaxy.”
Wednesday’s release will be celebrated in its own way on at a hackathon in New York City, which Faherty is attending along with other astrophysicists in astronomers. Together, they’ll be figuring out how to best synthesize this massive amount of information. It’ll be a herculean effort for sure, but one Faherty feels it’ll all be worth the sleepless nights. After all, the result is kind of the biggest deal there is: a true map of the Milky Way.
“It’s not just going to fill the hole of JWST,” Faherty says. “It’s its own magical new thing which everyone should be excited about.”
How Would Alien Life Forms Look And Behave On A Habitable Planet Around A Red Dwarf Star?
How Would Alien Life Forms Look And Behave On A Habitable Planet Around A Red Dwarf Star?
The largest population of stars in the galaxy hide in the shadows, too dim to be seen with the naked eye from Earth. Their limited radiance helps to extend their lifetimes, which are far greater than that of the sun. Scientists think that 20 out of the 30 stars nearest to Earth are red dwarfs; however, none of them can be seen with the naked eye. The closest star to the sun, Proxima Centauri, is a red dwarf.
Take the example of the recently discovered planet called Kepler 186f. It orbits a red dwarf star that has only 4% of the sun’s luminosity. It appears to have liquid water and to be habitable and it seems to have gravity similar to Earth. Due to their low luminosity, how do you think lifeforms would look like on a planet like this? There are a lot of factors that need to be considered, and most exoplanets are too far for those factors to be observed directly with current instruments.
Let’s first ponder the possible environments of a planet circling a red dwarf.
What would the sky look like?
For a blue sky: A planet needs to have a thick atmosphere with an abundance of oxygen, and preferably a clear ocean of water or methane. To have a thick atmosphere the planet will need to have a strong magnetosphere. To have a strong magnetosphere the planet will need to have a large, solid iron inner core rotating quickly within a fluid iron outer core. To have such a core, the planet must be larger than a certain size and must have been born after a certain amount of time after the big bang, and in a region of space relatively populated by iron dust created largely through supernovae and nucleosynthesis.
For a red sky: consider Mars. Its atmosphere is 1% of Earth’s and appears red because the ground is red. It’s literally rust. To have such a minimal atmosphere, Mars or any planet would likely have lost its magnetosphere. For that to be the case geological activity and core motion would need to have been dropped nearly to nothing (Mars, in fact, has some magnetism in the southern hemisphere). To be rust the planet must have a considerable amount of iron, so it needs to have accreted during a period when Iron has been nucleo-synthesized in abundance, and it needs to have formed in a region of space in which that is the case.
Let’s assume the planet has the same mass as Earth and is in the circumstellar habitable zone which, around Red Dwarfs, would be very close to the star. Tidal-locking would be inevitable, but models predict that atmospheric equilibration is potentially possible between the starward side and it’s opposite if CO2 and H20 are present. Still, the climate might be pretty turbulent, so expect the need for sturdy shelters capable of thermo-regulation.
The luminosity of a Red Dwarf is no more than 10% of our sun’s, so it will be like living in perpetual twilight.
Plants will need to photosynthesize much more efficiently, perhaps via black analogues of chlorophyll.
Life forms could have very similar metabolisms to earthly organisms. But who knows they might not even be carbon-based lifeforms. Metabolisms are a function of the chemical environment they evolve in. A life that evolves in an ammonia-rich atmosphere would be very different than on that evolved in a sulphur-rich atmosphere.
I would think that they would evolve big, big eyes or light sensors. It is logical to assume that their visual system would extend into the infrared end of the electromagnetic spectrum, since a red dwarf’s visible light emission peaks in the red portion of the spectrum.
They would not see colours like we do. They could see inside thick dust clouds, obscured galactic cores, and other hidden regions of the cosmos. These unique abilities are thanks to the infrared light, a wavelength invisible to the human eye.
Space would look like this to them:
This is how they would see us, humans:
How might they observe us?
In infrared, our petty reasons for racism and xenophobic behaviour completely vanishes.
Looking at us humans in the infrared like these aliens would, it would be impossible for them to understand our human failing of unenlightened racism. They would not see the superficial characteristic of white, black, red or yellow skin. In infrared, we would all appear to be the same.
We are all the SAME even when not viewed in infrared but many people still do not understand that.
Their physical size and bodily configuration depend on the gravity of the planet. On the massive planet, massive life forms. The Smaller planet, thinner lighter life forms. If there are aquatic life forms, they are probably on the level of algae and flagellates. Colors of organisms will be in the white to a pale region.
Red Dwarfs are thought to have frequent stellar flares. If you’re caught outside at the start of one, you better have a radiation-resistant coat that will envelop you rapidly.

The US Military's Secretive X-37B Space Plane: 6 Surprising Facts
The US Military's Secretive X-37B Space Plane: 6 Surprising Facts
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

Introduction
The U.S. Air Force's X-37B space plane has been zipping around Earth since May 2015 while it performs a number of hush-hush activities. The current mission is the fourth for the robotic X-37B, which is also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV). The other three OTV flights launched in April 2010, March 2011 and December 2012. Here are a few surprising facts about the military space plane.

1. It's tiny
The X-37B looks a lot like NASA's iconic space shuttle, but the two types of vehicles don't resemble each other in size. The X-37B is just 29 feet (8.8 meters) long, with a wingspan of 15 feet (4.6 m). The now-retired space shuttle orbiters, by contrast, were 122 feet (37 m) long, and measured more than 78 feet (24 m) from wingtip to wingtip. Two X-37Bs could fit inside the shuttle's cavernous payload bay. Indeed, the X-37B's designers originally envisioned the shuttle carrying the smaller space plane to orbit but ultimately decided that launching the X-37B atop a rocket would be more economical. The X-37B currently rides to orbit aboard United Launch Alliance's Atlas V rocket. Like the space shuttle, the X-37B lands on a runway, plane-style, but does everything autonomously (in contrast to the piloted shuttle, which usually carried a crew of seven astronauts).

2. Its missions are classified
Although the Air Force has disclosed some of the payloads that have flown to orbit on the X-37B, most of the space plane's onboard gear is classified, as are the details of its orbital activities. This secrecy has led to some speculation that the vehicle is some sort of space weapon, perhaps one designed to take out or capture satellites. However, the Air Force has always denied this notion, insisting that the X-37B is just testing out technologies for future spacecraft, and carrying various experiments up to space and back. Some of these technologies being tested may be sensors and other equipment for future spy satellites, outside experts have said.

3. It has NASA roots
The X-37 program started in 1999 with NASA, which initially planned to develop two separate vehicles: an Approach and Landing Test Vehicle (ALTV), and an Orbital Vehicle (OV). But NASA transferred X-37 development to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 2004, at which point it became a classified program. In 2006, the Air Force announced it would develop its own X-37 vehicle, which it dubbed the X-37B, or OTV. The design of the space plane was based heavily on the original OV, which was never built. (DARPA did construct and test the ALTV, however.) Boeing has been the primary contractor for the X-37B program dating back to its inception in 1999. To date, the company has apparently built two X-37B space planes for the Air Force. (Two different vehicles have flown the program's four space missions.)

4. The missions are incredibly long
The Air Force's X-37B fact sheet states that the space plane is designed to spend up to 270 days in orbit at a time. However, the vehicle has already zoomed past that limit multiple times. The first X-37B mission, known as OTV-1, stayed aloft for just 225 days. But OTV-2 and OTV-3 lasted 469 days and 674 days, respectively. OTV-4 circled Earth for a record-shattering 718 days before it landed on May 7, 2017. This longevity may be a key part of the X-37B. After all, engineers testing technologies for future satellites want to see how this gear behaves in the space environment for long periods of time, experts have said.

5. You can see it from the ground
Though the Air Force doesn't disclose the X-37B's precise orbit, keen-eyed amateur astronomers have managed to track the vehicle from the ground — and so can you, thanks to their efforts. Check out Space.com’s satellite tracker to see where the X-37B is overhead during a mission. The view won't be dramatic; the space plane usually looks like a star of middling brightness moving across the sky.

6. Future versions might be coming
The current version of the X-37 may not be the last to reach space. In 2011, Boeing representatives announced that they were considering developing a larger variant called the X-37C, which could carry up to six astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS). In addition, an engineering team led by former NASA astronaut Stephen Robinson has proposed using a modified version of the X-37B as an ISS emergency-evacuation vehicle. But this is just a concept at the moment, and there's no indication that Boeing is investigating this "astronaut ambulance" variant.
This 3D Color Map of 1.7 Billion Stars in the Milky Way Is the Best Ever Made
This 3D Color Map of 1.7 Billion Stars in the Milky Way Is the Best Ever Made
By Megan Gannon, Space.com Contributor
BERLIN — Nearly 1.7 billion stars have been plotted in unprecedented detail with today's (April 25) highly anticipated release of data from the European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft.
The new 3D map, which was unveiled here at the ILA Berlin Air Show, offers the best-ever look at the Milky Way — now in color — and promises to unleash hundreds of scientific discoveries about our galactic home and beyond.
"The first time I saw this I was at home, I turned off all the lights, and I just sat there in the dark for a while staring at this image because it's really so beautiful," Anthony Brown, an astronomer at Leiden University in the Netherlands, said during a press conference. Brown, who is chair of the consortium of 450 scientists and software engineers who are processing and validating the Gaia data, encouraged others to download the map and "go to a dark place and admire it." [How the Gaia Galaxy-Mapping Satellite Works (Infographic)]
The $1 billion (750 million euros) Gaia spacecraft launched in 2013 for a five-year mission to map the night sky with unmatched accuracy. The spacecraft is perched far beyond the moon's orbit, in the Lagrange-2, or L2, point, a gravitationally stable spot about 1 million miles (1.5 kilometers) away from Earth. Unlike space telescopes such as Hubble that orbit the Earth, Gaia can scan the cosmos without Earth blocking a large chunk of its view. As it rotates in space, Gaia measures about 100,000 stars each minute and covers the whole sky in about two months. Each star is measured 70 times on average.
"Over the lifetime of five years of Gaia, we will actually get 29 independent measurements of whole sky," Günther Hasinger, the European Space Agency's (ESA) director of science, said at the ILA.
Gaia's first data release in 2016 offered information on the positions and brightness of 1.142 billion stars, but it included only the distances and motions of a subset of 2 million stars. The new publicly available catalog includes the positions, distances, motions, brightness and colors (which allowed the scientists to synthesize the new color image) of more than 1.3 billion stars. The star census also reveals the surface temperatures of about 100 million stars and the effect of interstellar dust on 87 million stars.
These measurements can be used for much more than Milky Waymapmaking. The properties of stars can tell scientists about the origins, evolution and structure of the galaxy. The Gaia scientists today announced some of their preliminary findings from poring over the new data. Independently, other teams of researchers around the world were eagerly waiting to get their hands on the data to run their own studies.
The huge trove of data went online at noon CET (6 a.m. EDT) and had 256 users in the first 2 minutes alone, according to a tweet from the Gaia mission. Brown told Space.com that he expects the first scientific manuscripts using the new Gaia data to be uploaded to preprint servers (such as arXiv) by tomorrow or Friday (April 26-27). An average of a paper a day had been published from the first Gaia data release until now, Brown said, and he expects there to be many more studies based on the new cache.
During today's release, Brown and his colleagues unveiled several images, including a new map of the clouds of gas and dust in the galaxy and a new visualization of the orbits of 75 ancient globular clusters and 12 dwarf galaxies that revolve around the Milky Way. The Gaia archive also contains the largest-ever radial velocity survey, with measurements on how fast more than 7 million stars are moving toward us or away from us, and the resulting map of this data was another "'Wow!' image" for Brown.
"Basically, you see the whole Milky Way in motion around its axis in this one image," he said.
Antonella Valenari, a Gaia scientist from the University of Padua in Italy, introduced a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram based on the new Gaia data. This type of diagram compares the brightness of stars with their color as a way to examine populations of stars and their evolution.
"In our Milky Way, we have different families of stars that are born more or less at the same time and more or less with the same chemical composition and same characteristics," Valenari explained, adding that reconstructing these families can help scientists understand when and how the Milky Way was formed. "For us this diagram is like opening a chocolate box. It's very, very exciting."
Valenari also said that the Gaia data reveals groups of stars "moving in a strange way" inside the Milky Way at similar speeds. She compared the pattern to ripples in a pond, and that smaller neighboring galaxies merging with the Milky Way billions of years ago might have caused this perturbation. "This is something we still have to study to be sure of it," she said.
The Gaia spacecraft has even made observations of our own solar system, mapping the positions of more than 14,000 known asteroids. And Gaia is still operating and collecting measurements. The final data release is expected for the 2020s, according to ESA.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot Swirls in Stunning Up-Close Photo by Juno Probe
Jupiter's Great Red Spot Swirls in Stunning Up-Close Photo by Juno Probe
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
A new photo by NASA's Juno spacecraft captures Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot in all its angry, swirling glory.
The new image is a composite of three photos Juno took with its JunoCam instrument on April 1, during the probe's latest close flyby of the solar system's largest planet. Juno's altitude above the cloud tops ranged from 15,379 to 30,633 miles (24,749 to 49,299 kilometers) when the spacecraft snapped the images, NASA officials said in a statement.
Citizen scientists Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Doran processed these raw photos into the color-enhanced final product, which NASA released Saturday (April 21). [See more stunning photos of Jupiter's Great Red Spot]
The Juno mission team encourages anyone to do such processing work with the spacecraft's photos. You can try your hand atmissionjuno.swri.edu/junocam.
The Great Red Spot is about 10,150 miles (16,330 km) across — roughly 1.3 times wider than Earth. But the monster storm used to be much bigger. For example, records suggest that it spanned about 35,000 miles (56,300 km) in the 1800s. If the shrinkage continues unabated, the Great Red Spot could disappear entirely within a few decades, some astronomers have said.
The $1.1 billion Juno mission launched in August 2011 and arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016. The spacecraft orbits the gas giant once every 53.5 Earth days on a highly elliptical path, making scientific observations during close passes such as the April 1 encounter.
During these flybys, Juno maps Jupiter's gravitational and magnetic fields and studies the composition, temperature and movement of the planet's thick atmosphere. Such data are helping scientists better understand Jupiter's interior structure, as well as its evolutionary history — how the giant planet took shape and has changed over time.
Should Mankind Be Worried? Here Are 5 Alarming Prophecies Written By Nostradamus
Should Mankind Be Worried? Here Are 5 Alarming Prophecies Written By Nostradamus
Michel de Notre Dame, historically known as Nostradamus is without a doubt one of the greatest prophets to ever exist. The French apothecary is believed to have foreseen countless historical evens long before they occurred. According to reports, Nostradamus is said to have predicted the US Moon Landing, Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, he is believed to have accurately predicted the Death of Henry II, and the JFK & RFK Assassinations among many other historical events.
2018, is of particular interest for those who analyze and study his work. The years has been extremely interesting both scientifically and historically, and despite the fact that many people believe not much will change in comparison to previous years, there are those–specifically those following Nostradamus’ work–believe great changes are upon us.
The French apothecary and seer is believed to have started having visions of the future at a relatively early age.
If we take a look at his greatest work written down in his book ‘The Prophecies’, Nostradamus composed over a thousand four-line poetic verses called “quatrains.” It is precisely in these quatrains where his secrets lay embedded.
Despite the fact that many academic scholars argue that the associations made between historic events and Nostradamus’s quatrains are mostly the product mistranslations, there are millions of people around the world, including news portals around the world that credit him with predicting countless major historic events.
Some of his most famous predictions are listed here below.
The Death of Henry II
“The young lion will overcome the older one, On the field of combat in a single battle; He will pierce his eyes through a golden cage, two wounds made one, then he dies a cruel death.”
In the summer of 1559, King Henry II of France referred to as the older one lined up to joust the Comte de Montgomery, the young lion, six years his junior, on the fields of France or combat. In the final pass, Montgomery’s lance burst through the king’s visor splintering to pieces. Both of them did have lions on their shields. Two shards injured him, one pierced his eye and lodged in the Kings head. Henry II suffered for 10 days before dying in his bed.
The US Moon Landing
He will come to travel to the corner of Luna, where he will be captured and put in a strange land, The unripe fruits to be subject of great scandal, great blame, to one, great praise.
He referred to the Astronauts traveling to the moon, Luna. He, the astronaut was captured on film. Nostradamus used the phrase “the Eagle” as an allusion to the U.S.A. Is it a coincidence that the American lunar landing craft happened to be named “the Eagle”?
Oh, did I say he predicted Donald Trump as becoming President of the United States?
But, what does Nostradamus have for 2018?
1. The Largest Recorded Earthquake
So far, 2018 and even a part of 2017 was marked by catastrophic earthquakes around the globe. However, it is said that Nostradamus foresaw the largest earthquake in the history of the United States, especially affecting the western area of the United States. However, despite predicting the earthquake in the US, it is believed that the power of the earthquake will be felt in other countries around the world. Let’s hope he was wrong.
2. People will live more than 200 years
It is believed that the great French seer predicted great advances in medicine, which will extend the average lifespan of human to about 200 years. It is said that Nostradamus wrote how an 80-year-old will look like a 50, year old according. Numerous advancements in medicine have been made and Nostradamus’ predictions may soon become a reality.
3. Radiation will burn the planet
“Kings steal forests, the sky will open; the fields will be burned by heat,” Nostradamus wrote. This is believed to be a warning that the destruction of Earth’s rainforests will lead to a dangerous hole in the ozone layer and how Earth could be exposed to harmful ultraviolet radiation. Maybe it’s time to pay attention.
4. Language differences will disappear
“After the invention of a new engine, the world will be like in the days before Babel.” According to some interpretations of Nostradamus’ work, this new ‘engine; could be used like modern-day computers.
5. The collapse of the global economy
“The rich will die many times,” the French prophet wrote in his quatrains. Curiously, many other ‘Prophets’ like Baba Vanga, Edgar Cayce predicted the same.
The map shows the total brightness and colour of stars observed by the ESA satellite in each portion of the sky between July 2014 and May 2016. Brighter regions indicate denser concentrations of especially bright stars, while darker regions correspond to patches of the sky where fewer bright stars are observed.

ESA’s Gaia mission has now released the richest star catalogue to date, accurately pinpointing the position of more than 1.7 billion stars. The painstaking work, which required more than 22 months of charting the sky, will enable astronomers to investigate the formation and evolution of the Milky Way in unprecedented detail.
“The observations collected by Gaia are redefining the foundations of astronomy,” says Günther Hasinger, ESA Director of Science.
“Gaia is an ambitious mission that relies on a huge human collaboration to make sense of a large volume of highly complex data. It demonstrates the need for long-term projects to guarantee progress in space science and technology and to implement even more daring scientific missions of the coming decades.”
The €750 ($920) million Gaia satellite’s journey started in December 2013, and its first data release, which was based on just one year of observations, was published in 2016. This initial survey mapped the distances and motions of two million stars — very impressive, by all means. But, this latest data release, which was collected between 25 July 2014 and 23 May 2016, outshines its predecessor, pinning down the positions of nearly 1.7 billion stars. What’s more, the precision with which some of these stars have been mapped is simply mind-blowing. For instance, some of the brightest stars in the survey have been pinpointed with the same level of precision required for Earthbound observers to be able to spot a Euro coin lying on the surface of the Moon.
“The second Gaia data release represents a huge leap forward with respect to ESA’s Hipparcos satellite, Gaia’s predecessor and the first space mission for astrometry, which surveyed some 118 000 stars almost thirty years ago,” says Anthony Brown of Leiden University, The Netherlands.
Unwinding the Milky Way’s history
Armed with these far more accurate measurements, astronomers can now differentiate between the parallax of stars — the apparent shift in the sky caused by Earth’s yearly orbit around the sun — from their true movements relative to the galactic center. From the most accurate parallax measurements, about ten percent of the total, astronomers can directly estimate distances to individual stars.
All of this is a “big deal” for researchers whose careers are about understanding the Milky Way and its formation, a quest where the accuracy in pinning down the relative movements of its stars is of the utmost importance. Until recently, much of the galaxy’s contents have been obscured by gas and dust, making it difficult to discern its structure from our vantage point. And because the satellite traces how the stars move, scientists can trace their movements back in time, as if winding a clock backward — in the process, which some call galactic archaeology, it’s possible to see how the galaxy evolved over the past 13 billion years.
That’s not all. Gaia also observes objects in our Solar System, like the positions of more than 14,000 known asteroids. An even larger asteroid sample will be compiled in Gaia’s future releases.
Gaia also has locked on to the positions of more than half a million quasars — extremely remote celestial objects, emitting exceptionally large amounts of energy, powered by black holes a billion times as massive as our sun. These objects are used in the survey as beacons that define a reference frame for the celestial coordinates of all other objects in the Gaia catalogue, something that is routinely done in radio waves but now, for the first time, is also available at optical wavelengths.
All in all, scientists expect to make a wealth of new discoveries as a direct result of the new Gaia data release. Already, some astronomers are using the Gaia survey to distinguish between various populations of stars of different ages that are located in different regions of the Milky Way — such as the disc and the halo — and that formed in different ways
“Gaia will greatly advance our understanding of the Universe on all cosmic scales,” says Timo Prusti, Gaia project scientist at ESA.
“Even in the neighbourhood of the Sun, which is the region
It’s easy to get disheartened about the utter lack of evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life. The universe is an unimaginably large place, yet so far it seems like we’re all alone. Of course, it could just be that aliens are too far away or perhaps we’re just looking for the wrong things in the wrong places. Maybe we’re an aberration, or, given the unfathomably long timelines of the cosmos, it could be that civilizations rarely develop in close proximity at the same times. Still, scientists with SETI and other organizations remain optimistic that we’ll discover alien life within the next few decades. There’s never been a better reason to take care of your health.
To add to the list of reasons why we’re so utterly forever alone out here in the terrifyingly empty reaches of space, a German astrophysicist has just published a new theory for why we haven’t found any aliens. According to Michael Hippke, a scientist at the Sonneberg Observatory, one of the most significant challenges facing distant alien races could be their own planets’ immense gravitational pulls. Recent exoplanet discoveries have revealed that so-called “Super-Earths” are fairly common in the habitable zones of their stars. However, as Hippke points out, the immense size of these Super-Earths can create incredibly strong gravitational forces which essentially ‘trap’ aliens on the surface due to the energy requirements needed to escape them.
Hippke toldSpace.com that any advanced alien civilizations on these types of planets might be unable to leave the surface by means of spaceflight, and thus might look for other means of reaching out:
Civilizations from super-Earths are much less likely to explore the stars. Instead, they would be to some extent arrested on their home planet and, for example, make more use of lasers or radio telescopes for interstellar communication instead of sending probes or spaceships.
Hippke says humans are pretty luck to find ourselves on a planet lightweight enough to support spaceflight, but that “other civilizations, if they exist, might not be as lucky.” Still, Hippke concludes his study by theorizing that space elevators or nuclear-powered rockets might be an option for these civilizations. As with all of these studies, I can’t help but wonder if our thinking about aliens is limited by the facts of our own existence.
The limits of our senses and our own technology lead us to think that all other life must ‘work’ the same ways life on Earth does. We think that any potential alien races would only be able to reach space by means of spacecraft, or that they even want to reach space at all, but who knows what hypothetical aliens on other planets might be like? Maybe they want to be left alone. Maybe they can send their consciousnesses through space. Maybe their bodies are spacecraft. The point is, we have no Earthly idea what’s out there, on Super-Earths or any other types of planets.
This Super-Earth, called 55 Cancri e, is nearly twice the size of our home planet. The gravity here would be far larger than on Earth.
Which concept is more believable (or unbelievable) … that the Milky Way galaxy has wandering supermassive black holes or that supermassive black holes (wandering or otherwise) could be hiding advanced alien civilizations? Both concepts have been seen in models and both could someday have an impact on Earth. Is it too soon to either run or put out a welcome mat … or both?
Supermassive black holes are the largest type of black hole and as such usually occupy the premier location in a galaxy – namely, smack dab in the middle. That’s the case with the Milky Way galaxy, whose supermassive black hole is at its center at Sagittarius A* (A-star), which is near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius. While not yet proven, astronomers assume that every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center. It’s also likely that some may have two in that same center location. Now, a new study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters proposes that some galaxies, including the Milky Way, have wandering supermassive black holes whose cause and possible effects are a concern for other stars.
Study lead author Michael Tremmel (who summarizes it in this video) reports that researchers from Yale, the University of Washington, Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris, and University College London used a new simulation model appropriately named Romulus (one of the twin founders of Rome) to predict the existence of these wandering supermassive black holes – appropriate because the secondary wandering holes are likely the result of the incomplete merging of two galaxies where the bigger SMBH didn’t assimilate the smaller one. The smaller SMBHs, being too far out to absorb gas and generate radiation, are invisible, but could still be deadly to a nearby star and its planets. Like us?
“It is extremely unlikely that any wandering supermassive black hole will come close enough to our Sun to have any impact on our solar system. We estimate that a close approach of one of these wanderers that is able to affect our solar system should occur every 100 billion years or so, or nearly 10 times the age of the universe.”
The amount of money wagered on lotteries shows how little humans respect long odds, but something far different that annihilation might also occur if our solar system is approached by a SMBH … alien contact. With the news of the wandering SMBHs, it’s worth revisiting an older report where Russian cosmologist Vyacheslav Vyacheslav Dokuchaev at Moscow’s Institute for Nuclear Research and the Russian Academy of Sciences proposed that supermassive black holes are so large, their centers may have enough space that their gravitational pull is less, allowing for planets to potentially exist. And not just planets, but also …
“We hypothesize that the advanced civilizations may live safely inside the supermassive black holes in the galactic nuclei being invisible from the outside.”
Really? Dokuchaev says supermassive black holes have two ‘point of no return’ event horizons with a space between them.
“The naked central singularity illuminates the orbiting internal planets and provides the energy supply for life supporting. This internal black hole domain, hidden by the two horizons from the whole external universe, is indeed a suitable place for safe inhabitation.”
REALLY? Dokuchaev admits that this advanced civilization would have to be advanced enough to deal with “huge tidal forces and massive energy densities … [and] causality violations, where the rules of space-time don’t apply.” If they’re so advanced, why don’t they move to a better galactic neighborhood?
So, a simulator shows that supermassive black holes are wandering the Milky Way, a Russian cosmologist says they may contain advanced life forms, and the odds of either getting close to us are worse than the lottery … but not impossible.
What do we know for sure? Supermassive Black Hole is already a great song and the Naked Singularities would be a great name for a band.
On the weekend of April 13-15, I spoke at the annual Ozark Mountain UFO Conference on the subject of the Men in Black. As so often happens at such gigs, people have questions for the speakers. One of the questions put to me went something like this: “Why don’t the aliens intervene and do something for us?” It was a question provoked by my speculation that within a century or so from now we will have well and truly irreversibly fucked up not just ourselves but the planet and everything that shares it with us. Yes, contrary to what some might think, it’s not just our world: there are plenty of other animals that will suffer as a result of our reckless stupidity.
Given that we may well end up wiping ourselves out, it might seem reasonable to think that, at the last moment, the aliens will step in and disable every nuke on the planet and prevent destruction on a worldwide scale (slight shades of 1951’s The Day The Earth Stood Still). Of course, this all assumes that the aliens actually care about us and the many other lifeforms on the planet. There are those who believe that the aliens are indeed our friends and that they are here to keep us on a road that takes us far away from destruction via nuclear war and ecological collapse – and who knows what else? But, is that really the case? Probably not. Although, no doubt, such a scenario may help some get to sleep at night.
Yes, there are indications that our visitors (from wherever) may have concerns for our existence and our extinction. But, those same concerns never really seem to be anything but halfhearted in nature and content. Take, for example, the Space Brothers of the 1950s. Those long-haired hippy types who dropped in to say “Hi, Earthling!” to the likes of George Adamski, George Van Tassel, Truman Bethurum and Orfeo Angelucci, and who warned them of the dangers of the A-bomb, certainly did state that we were on a road to destruction. But, if they really cared, why just share their concerns with a bunch of people in the deserts of California, Nevada, and Arizona? Yes, Adamski’s first book, Flying Saucers Have Landed(co-written with Desmond Leslie) sold well. And, yes, George Van Tassel’s annual gigs at Giant Rock, California attracted audiences in the thousands at their height.
For the most part, though, more than a few of the Contactees languished in obscurity and had to settle for selling a few of their self-published pamphlets, booklets and books to fairly small crowds. And today, many of those Contactees are forgotten and turned to dust. So, what was the point behind the actions of the Space Brothers? If it really was to save us from ourselves, they failed miserably. The reason being that chummy chats with a few people out at Giant Rock is not going to save the planet. Scaring the crap out of a bunch of people in desert locations in the early years of the Cold War achieved nothing – except for creating the image of caring ETs. Which may have been the point all along. And don’t bother me with theories concerning real-life equivalents of Star Trek’s “Prime Directive.”Bringing the likes of something as yawn-inducing and crappy as Star Trek into the equation does nothing but turn matters into a nerd/geek fest.
It’s pretty much the same with the black-eyed, big-headed, emotionless entities known as the Greys. Countless numbers of alien abductees have reported seeing images in their minds of the final days of planet Earth, of worldwide destruction, and of the end of humanity. We’re led to believe that this is because the Greys like us a lot; they’re warning us of what lurks ominously around the corner. They love us and they really want to see us make it. If that’s the case, then why do they not make themselves known to one and all (again, please don’t mention Star Trek…)? Why target a very small handful of the overall human population and encourage them to patiently write books and hit the road and speak at conferences, when doing so achieves absolutely nothing outside of the realm of Ufology?
The fact is that we only have their word that they are our friends (or, at least, that they have a desire for us not to end up as a combined pile of radioactive ash). We even only have their word that they are alien (in the extraterrestrial fashion). Maybe they are actually Mac Tonnies’ Cryptoterrestrials (doubtful, but I guess not completely impossible), John Keel’s Ultraterrestrials(a theory I like a lot), or even time-travelers from our very own future (Flying Saucers but no DeLoreans?).
UFO witnesses, contactees and abductees are all too quick to embrace the aliens, their words of friendliness, and their fears for our future. But, I kind of see it all as something, in a somewhat skewed fashion, that is akin to Stockholm Syndrome. Hanging onto the words of entities that may not be what they appear to be, and whose primary goal seems to be to ensure that we see them as our friends (when they may not be), is not a good thing. The Space-Brothers and the Greys don’t just try to be our friends. They try too hard. Our mysterious visitors do not care; they just try and convince us they do. And, that should be a cause for concern and alarm.
Seriously: what’s going on with all of the unexplained explosions and booms being heard throughout the United States? Over the last year, loud mystery booms have been consistently rattling homes and people from coast to coast with little explanation. All sorts of possible causes have been thrown out – underground frostquakes, natural gas emissions, atmospheric disturbances – but so far no single, official explanation has been offered.
This week, the booms continued in America’s northeast, being heard in rural Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. In Richland Township, Pennsylvania, residents in several towns were left confused after loud booms were reported multiple nights around 2:00 a.m., waking up residents and leaving a mystery in their wake. “It is quite loud,” says Donna Weaver of Quakertown, “It went boom, boom, that’s what it sounds like to me and that sounds like an explosion.” You’re absolutely right, Donna. Explosions do go ‘boom boom.’
Weaver told local news WFMZ that without an official explanation, residents are left to guess wildly as to what the source of the booms might be:
Nobody can figure out what it is. Some people were saying maybe they think it’s kids throwing M-80’s or cherry bombs, others are saying aliens.
Others always say aliens. A little farther north, residents of Plaistow, New Hampshire were awakened early in the morning hours of Monday, April 23 when a “mysterious loud noise” woke them up. Plaistow resident Joseph Pageau says he heard a sound “louder than fireworks” and feared the worst, but upon heading in the direction of the sound found nothing:
I was awake in bed and heard the explosion. I got up and looked out the window expecting to see a fire or something. I got in my truck and took a ride over expecting to see a house explosion. But there was nothing.
Police responded to several concerned calls about the sound, but discovered nothing. Fire crews were called when a small brush fire was found in the vicinity of many of the mystery boom reports, but it’s unclear if the fire and the noise were related.
A similar incident occurred today in Bellingham, Washington, where a large boom was heard throughout several surrounding cities. Like in the New Hampshire incident, smoke from a small fire was seen afterwards, although a local fire department spokesperson said this was likely from a nearby permitted brush burn. The Whatcom County Fire Marshal is still investigating the cause of the unexplained boom.
Me, I can’t help coming back to the theory that these noises could be the result of test flights of hypersonic unmanned aerial vehicles. Russia, China, and the U.S. have all been rumored to be testing faster-than-sound suborbital spacecraftcapable of delivering airstrikes to anywhere in the world in minutes. Are these mystery explosions actually the sonic booms caused by secret aircraft or weapons tests, spread out throughout the country to avoid detection? It’s certainly within the realm of the possible.

Witness 'will now undergo hypnosis' after sighting which has been made public due to a leading ufo hunter
By Ian Johnson
A UFO expert has released a file over a sighting made in Tyneside which the witness claims may have been a UFO - and has left the expert baffled
(Image: Ian Johnson)
Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
Or is it an extra-terrestrial craft from outer space?
That’s the question puzzling alien hunters after a “shape shifting” vessel was spotted hovering over Tyneside.
And the person who snapped it thinks it could be a UFO.
“I was in my back garden and when I looked up I noticed that the clouds had a wake in them as if an invisible force had pushed through them” reads a witness report of the sighting.
“As I looked about in the sky I saw nothing. I then looked North West over my fence and seen a triangular craft about the size of a Transit van.
“It was black in colour and seemed to be changing shape.”
The witness rushed to get their camera. When they returned the craft had “changed shape” and was smaller.
“It then started to ascend up into the clouds (and made) no sound at all,” adds the witness.
“When the UFO was at a certain height, three boomerang type crafts flew around it. The UFO was constantly changing shape.”
A report of last June’s Westerhope sighting was filed with North East UFO expert Glen Richardson.
He’s now made snaps of the sighting public, and praised the witness for going public, in a bid to try and establish what the mystery craft was.
“At the moment the investigation is at the early stage so it is difficult to say what it is,” admits Hartlepool’s Glen.
“There can be many explanations to what it might be. For example a bird is a common explanation.”
He’s getting the snaps analysed to try and shed some light.
“I’ve spoken to the witness via email and the witness has explained they’ve had many experiences over the years and is wanting to go through hypnotic regression,” he added.
“But again this is showing the popularity of ufo activity in the North-East and hopefully more and more people will come forward.”
Open Minds UFO Radio: Bryce Zabel has a long list of achievements in the feature film and television industry. Much of this includes UFO and alien related projects. This includes writing and producing the NBC series Dark Skies and the Syfy movie Official Denial. He also was on the writing staff of Steven Spielberg’s Taken and ABC’s Lois and Clark (don’t forget, Superman is an alien). More recently, he co-wrote the book A.D. After Disclosure: When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact with Richard Dolan. He is currently working on two UFO related movies. One is about the Betty and Barney Hill abductions and the other is a movie about the work of Roswell researchers Stanton Friedman and Don Schmitt.
Bryce also co-wrote a book titled A.D. After Disclosure: When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact. It is a fictional book that tries to imagine what would happen if the government announced that we are being visited by aliens. In this interview, we discuss with Bryce if we are living in a bit of a post-disclosure environment now, since the revelation that the government has been investigating UFOs. We also discuss Art Bell who recently passed away. Bryce knew Art and even cast him in an episode of his TV series Dark Skies.

NASA | The Search for Human’s Original Home
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was launched April 18, 2018, and will discover thousands of exoplanets in orbit around the brightest stars in the sky. In a two-year survey of the solar neighborhood, TESS will monitor more than 200,000 stars for temporary drops in brightness caused by planetary transits. This first-ever space borne all-sky transit survey will identify planets ranging from Earth-sized to gas giants, around a wide range of stellar types and orbital distances. No ground-based survey can achieve this feat. It is expected to discover thousands of exo-planets one may be Heaven or the original home of humans. Thanks to NASA
Sumerian Anunnaki Came to Earth
These ancient tablets hold the secrets of our true history because they contain evidence of the oldest recorded events in history. The main focus of study is looking at the first occurrences of themes, stories and language found in the archeological record, and then comparing them to the historical record. The consistencies between them may reveal our true history. By looking at the original tablets, some dated thousands of years before the Bible, that were utilized to make up our borrowed stories. The Sumerian was one of the first cultures of humankind. It was developed between 5300 BC and 2000 BC, it is still one of the most advanced civilizations known to have existed on Earth. Sitchin claims the cuneiform text describe an alien race named the “Anunnaki” who came to the earth from an undiscovered planet in our Solar System, beyond Neptune called Nibiru.
Expert says You’re Aliens— We Were Brought to Earth of Thousands of Years Ago
Ancient Code reports, “What if Humans are the aliens we’ve been looking for all along?” According to experts, humans were most likely crossbred with another species, perhaps from the star system Alpha Centauri –which is one of the closest solar systems to Earth—in the distant past, giving birth to modern humans.
Tell Al-Uhaymir modern-day Iraq, where the ancient Sumerian city of Kish used to be, archaeologists found one of the oldest ancient documents on the planet, the tablet of Kish which is believed to date back to the year 3500 BC.
The Sumerian king list states that Kish was the first city to have kings following the deluge, beginning with Jushur. Jushur’s successor is called Kullassina-bel, but this is actually a sentence in Akkadian meaning “All of them were lord”. Thus, some scholars have suggested that this may have been intended to signify the absence of a central authority in Kish for a time.
This ancient document is believed to precede the cuneiform writing of the Sumerians, and the Egyptian hieroglyphs for almost one hundred years. Developing the ability to express thoughts through written language is one of the first ways in which man differed from the animal kingdom.
Highly advanced civilizations have been here before us, just to be destroyed by some great global catastrophe. But for each race that has died out, another has taken its place, with a selected few holding on to the memories and sacred knowledge of the past race. In our vanity we think we have discovered some of the great truths of science and technology, but we are in fact only just beginning to rediscover the profound wisdom of past civilizations. In many ways, we are like an awakening Species with Amnesia, yearning to reclaim our forgotten past.
Five thousand years since, humans have developed electricity, divided the atom, developed computers, and led man to the moon. We have achieved things that other species have still not. No other species on earth can attribute such unique achievements in such a short period of time. Interestingly, compared to other species of the earth, our ‘evolution’ is relatively short.
It has been a short period of time, most likely a few million years since the first hominid walked on Earth. Precisely this is one of the biggest scientific questions of all times: Why have only our species emerged to this truly advanced technological intelligence?
Evidently, there is nothing more advanced than humans on planet Earth.
While there are different ‘intelligent’ species on Earth, none of them makes use of technology like us. Just imagine for a second, if for some reason, mankind had to return to the jungle, and survive there. Many experts agree that most of them would not survive for a very long period of time. Many scientists agree that humans, in addition to their intelligence, are not very capable to occupy a wide range of environments. In other words, we are very limited when it comes to our planet.
In addition to our fascinating intelligence, biologists have also noticed contrasts between human physiology and that of other animals on earth. Many scientists agree that compared to other species on earth, humans are rather strange. For example, a baby horse when born is able to walk and function almost independently, but this a human baby cannot do, which makes us quite helpless. In other words, we are born before being neurologically ready for life. Many researchers agree that there are many vulnerabilities that accompany our intelligence.
Humans on earth are bipeds, which freed up our superior extremities allowing us to manipulate objects, create tools and much more. But for all this, experts believe that our species has paid an expensive price. Back and Lumbar pain a sign that according to many experts could tell us a lot about our species. Curiously, other animals on Earth do NOT have this problem. It’s as if only humans are affected by some of these problems. Furthermore, as noted by Robert Sepher, according to modern DNA sequencing, it is demonstrated that humanity as we know it, isn’t just ONE single ‘race’ that descended from the same ancestor in Africa, but a hybridized species, with a far more enigmatic truth behind it all.
Many questions have been raised in the discussion about Rh negative blood. If mankind did, in fact, evolve from a mutual ancient African ancestor, theories state that everyone’s blood would be compatible, but regrettably, this is not the case. This raises numerous questions that science alone has not been able to fully answer. Where did Rh-negative blood come from? And why is it that a Rh-negative mother carrying Rh positive children tries rejecting her own offspring? Is it possible that this can be explained by a rather controversial theory? A theory which suggests that humanity isn’t in fact one race, but a hybridized species.
The book was written by Robert Sepehr, “Species with Amnesia: Our Forbidden History” tells us more about the enigmatic blood type Rh-negative. Not only does Species with Amnesia suggest mankind is, in fact, a hybridized species, the author suggests that highly advanced civilizations have been on Earth before us, just to be destroyed by some great global catastrophe, as mysteriously, history tells us.
Sepehr argues that for each race that has died out, another has taken its place, with a selected few holding on to the memories and sacred knowledge of the past race. In our vanity, we think we have discovered some of the great truths of science and technology, but we are in fact only just beginning to rediscover the profound wisdom of past civilizations. In many ways, we are like an awakening Species with Amnesia, yearning to reclaim our forgotten past. –
The Basque people of Spain and France have the highest percentage of Rh-negative blood. About 30% have (rr) Rh negative and about 60% carry one (r) negative gene. There are 612 primate species and subspecies recognized by the International Union for Conversation of Nature (IUCN), and not one has Rh-negative blood”. – Robert Sepehr, Species with Amnesia: Our Forbidden History
Professor Milton Wainwright from the University of Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology and his team inspected and analyzed the rock and its biological contents. They theorized that it not only pointed to the existence of extraterrestrial life, “but to complex and civilized beings watching our planet.” Could this be true? Have aliens been seeding Earth since the beginning of time and are now watching us to see how we respond? If so, what is their purpose and why do they not make themselves known to us?
A Missing Planet May Be a Clue
In the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, scientists have noted there appears to be a missing planet. Was the asteroid belt formed by an exploding planet whose ancient civilization escaped to earth? Could we be descendants from an alien race that previously occupied another planet? Could some of those aliens still be living among us, either unrecognized or in hiding? Perhaps the progenitors of life on Earth escaped the annihilation of life on their own planet and are now hiding on Earth, watching to see if we destroy ourselves.
Mysteries of the Solar System
While the search for scattered remains of ancient aliens on Earth continues, greater mysteries stretch throughout the solar system before us. Explore how our solar system was once the staging ground for an ancient civilization such as Venus or Mars which propagates life throughout the universe.
Humans are not from Earth
According to one expert, it means that we are the aliens we’ve we been looking for all along. A new theory proposed by Dr. Ellis Silver states that there are several tell-tale signs present in the human race that suggest human beings did not evolve ALONGSIDE other life forms on Earth.
The book called ‘Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence’ is basically a resume of theories for and mostly against man’s evolution on Earth. In the book, leading environmentalist and ecologist Dr. Ellis Silver goes through an evaluation of thirteen leading hypothesis and seventeen factors which suggest HUMANS ARE NOT FROM EARTH.
Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more said Dr. Ellis in an interview.
According to Dr. Ellis, humans might suffer from back pain because our species initially evolved on another planet with a lower gravity. Adding to the mysteries, Dr. Ellis also indicates that it is strange that newborns have large heads and make it difficult for mothers to give birth, which can result in fatalities for both mother and child.
So where do we come from? According to Dr. Ellis, Neanderthals were most likely crossbred with another species, perhaps from the star system Alpha Centauri –which is one of the closest solar systems to Earth— in the distant past, giving birth to modern humans.
According to Dr. Ellis, there are millions of people around the globe who ‘feel’ that they do not belong on Earth.
Dr. Ellis explains: “This suggests (to me at least) that mankind may have evolved on a different planet, and we may have been brought here as a highly developed species. One reason for this … is that the Earth might be a prison planet since we seem to be a naturally violent species and we’re here until we learn to behave ourselves.”
Here’s what you’ll discover: 53 factors that prove we couldn’t have evolved on Earth. Why we’re here on Earth, and how and when we got here. Where our true home planet is.
This is an a page from the book.
In China there are a hundred pyramids thousands of years old with the remains of blue eyed blonds buried nearby. White skin humans were first developed at this time.
Dr. Ellis concludes that mankind did not evolve from that particular strain of life, but evolved elsewhere and was transported to Earth (as fully evolved Homo sapiens) between 60,000 and 200,000 years ago.

Is Human Life on Earth Related to Extraterrestrials?
Panspermia is a mechanism that allows biology to spread through space without needing a spaceship. living matter “hitches a ride on sunlight or inside rocks.” Some scientists believe that Mars was indeed inhabited at one time. Some space rocks were “kicked” off the planet and landed in the Antarctic. Biological material from Mars that was in the rocks may spur exploration into the search for the solution to the age-old question: Where do we come from and why are we here? There are several theories that relate to extraterrestrials.
For example, did aliens escape from an unknown planet and come here due to dire circumstances on their home planets? Are we descendants of this race? Environmentalist and ecologist turned author Dr. Ellis Silver believes this is the case.
In his book, Humans are not from Earth: A Scientific Evaluation of the Evidence, Dr. Silver presents 17 reasons why humans are not suited for living on this planet. He believes these reasons indicate we originated from another planet. He says that while Earth meets some of our needs as a species, it is not as good a fit for us as much as “whoever brought us here initially thought.”
Silver gives some examples of our unsuitability for living on Earth. For example, he states that humans do not do well with large doses of sunlight, which we receive every day. He also notes there are a large number of people in the world who have chronic back aches, which he attributed to evidence that we originated from a planet with lower gravity. He also notes that we are better programmed to exist with a 25-hour day instead of a 24-hour one.
Silver suggests we may have come from Alpha Centauri. The planet may have suffered some type of cataclysmic event from which a few residents were able to escape and come to Earth.
ARE WE DESCENDANTS OF REFUGEES FROM MARS?
Face on Mars
Scientists and researchers believe that, eons ago, Humanoids inhabited Mars but a war destroyed the livability of the planet. This could have been due to the equivalent of two hydrogen bombs exploding on Mars 300,000 to 1 million years ago. Is it possible some living beings were able to escape to Earth before the destruction?
ARE ALIENS AMONG US?
In 1999, a contact inside the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency told a reporter his job was to analyze and monitor three extraterrestrial groups who were, and likely still are, inhabiting Earth. The source said the alien species lives inside mountains, under the earth and sea in deep caverns.
The source expressed his belief that the ETs have a great deal of control over the planet and its inhabitants. He said the aliens have links to Mars, Sirius and Zeta Reticuli 1 and 2. The aliens living on Earth look very similar to humans. They have a head, two eyes, a mouth, two legs and two arms. They regularly study humans and take sperm, DNA and other bodily samples.
The aliens may be trying to manipulate human genetics in order to create artificial mutations. Is it is possible we are a product of an ancient alien species that continues to study, observe and manipulate humans for reasons we don’t know? One possible reason is our immunity to various types of bacteria and viruses that could kill the visitors.
There are many deep space mysteries for which there seems to be more questions than answers. Immerse yourself in Deep Space: Mysteries of the Solar System for an adventure into the study of extraterrestrials and their influence and control of humans.
DNA an Efficient Information Storage System
Paleontologists for some reason have ignored the possibility of intervention by extraterrestrials. They admit thousands even millions of mutations would be required to develop cells from the primordial soup to fish, primitive land creatures, then apes to hominids or primitive man. We know now that our DNA molecule is probably the most efficient information storage system in the entire universe.
The immensity of complex, coded and precisely sequenced information written on the DNA is amazing. The evidence speaks of intelligent, information-bearing design. Complex DNA coding would have been necessary for even the hypothetical first ‘so-called’ simple cell(s).
A single cell is unbelievably complex being roughly equivalent to New York City in a bubble or the outer membrane of one cell. As we move in closer to examine the cell we see the huge buildings, roads, subways, bridges, auto traffic that represent the various parts of the cell. As we move closer inside the various buildings we find a network of electrical wiring, heating and air conditioning systems, elevators carrying people. Inside the offices are millions of computers and wiring chips. Now you have an idea of the complexity of one of your single cells in your body, that can duplicate itself in minutes.
From his discovery of the structure of DNA, he felt life did not originate on earth, and suggests a theory called Panspermia. That the seeds of life are all through the universe. This concept basically infers that life, DNA, virus, bacteria, bombarded from space aboard meteorites or even space ships.
Francis Crick proposed, in a book called “Life Itself,” that some form of primordial life was shipped to the earth billions of years ago in spaceships—by supposedly ‘more evolved’ (therefore advanced) alien beings. This concept basically infers that life, DNA, virus, bacteria, bombarded Earth from space aboard meteorites and comets. Personally, I have seen the spaceships and tracked them on radar and have spoken with dozens of people including astronauts and key heads of state who conclude that extraterrestrials visit Earth.
The Neanderthals had brow ridges to keep the sun out of their eyes, but why don’t we? When a leading scientist walked into a wall and broke his nose, he decided to find out. In this fascinating and wide-ranging book, Dr. Ellis Silver examines the evidence that’s all around us … and discovers that we evolved on a world distinctly different from the one we live on today and what it’s like to live there. The logical conclusion is that we came from a planet with lower levels of UV radiation, which didn’t give us skin cancer. The light levels there must have been relatively consistent throughout the year, which implies a lack of seasons. Venus is one planet that lacks seasons but is said to be very hot. Most of our vitamin D – and perhaps all of it must have come from our diet, and whatever we ate must have been rich in vitamin D and enjoyable to eat. It appears that this type of food is unavailable on planet Earth. The only source on Earth is the livers of oily fish which most people won’t eat even if it could save their lives.
Why valid evidence is ignored, denied and covered up by scientists and governments. (There’s actually a very good reason.) What we really know about extraterrestrials and their spacecraft
Dr. Silver also uncovers: The origins of RNA and DNA, and how life evolved – on Earth and elsewhere, A more accurate timeline of human evolution – without the gaps and mistakes. Why the Theory of Evolution is wrong – and how to fix it. Why the Out of Africa theory is wrong – and what really happened.
Enceladus Saturn’s Moon May Have Alien Life
Humanity may need look no further than our own Solar System in the search for alien life, researchers probing one of Saturn’s moons said Tuesday.
The icy orb known as Enceladus may boast ideal living conditions for single-celled microorganisms known as Achaeans found in some of the most extreme environments on Earth, they reported in the science journal Nature Communications.
A methanogenic (methane-producing) Achaean called Methanothermococcus okinawensis thrived in laboratory conditions mimicking those thought to exist on Saturn’s satellite, the team said.
On Earth, this type of Achaean is found at very hot temperatures near deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas into methane.
Traces of methane were previously detected in vapor emanating from cracks in Enceladus’ surface.
“We conclude that some of the CH4 (methane) detected in the plume of Enceladus might, in principle, be produced by methanogens,” the researchers in Germany and Austria wrote.
They also calculated that sufficient hydrogen to support such microbes could be produced by geochemical processes in Enceladus’ rocky core.
The authors had set out to test the hypothesis that conditions on the satellite may be good for hosting methanogenic archaea.
The data, based purely on laboratory study, showed this “could be” so, said Simon Rittmann of the University of Vienna who co-authored the scientific paper.
But the results provide “no evidence for possible extraterrestrial life,” he underlined to AFP.
“Our study only concerns microorganisms. I would like to avoid any speculation about intelligent life,” he said. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun, separated from Earth only by Mars and Jupiter. It has dozens of moons.
Previous research suggested that Enceladus sports an ocean of liquid water — a key ingredient for life — beneath its icy surface. The moon is also thought to contain compounds such as methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia, and its south pole sports hydrothermal activity — a combination of traits that makes it a key target in the search for extra-terrestrial life.

Art Bell Broadcaster Passes Away at 72
Arthur William Bell III (June 17, 1945 – April 13, 2018) was an American broadcaster and author. He was the founder and the original host of the paranormal-themed radio program Coast to Coast AM, which is syndicated on hundreds of radio stations in the U.S. and Canada.[4]He also created and hosted its companion show Dreamland.
In 2003, Bell semi-retired from Coast to Coast AM. During the following four years, he hosted the show many weekends on Premiere Networks. He announced his retirement from weekend hosting on July 1, 2007, but occasionally served as a guest host through 2010. He attributed the reason for his retirement to a desire to spend time with his new wife and their daughter, born May 30, 2007. He added that unlike his previous “retirements”, this one was permanent, but he left open the option to return to broadcasting. He treated the subject of UFOs seriously and millions of late night listeners.
Bell hosted classic episodes of Coast to Coast AM that can be heard in some radio markets on Saturday nights under the name Somewhere in Time. I spoke with Art on several occasions and he was always pleasant and knowledgeable, He has served in Vietnam the same time I had.
Bell died at his Pahrump, Nevada home on April 13, 2018. [9]
