Alien Anthropocene: How Would Other Worlds Battle Climate Change?
Alien Anthropocene: How Would Other Worlds Battle Climate Change?
The problem would likely plague every technological civilization throughout the universe, says astrophysicist Adam Frank
Much has been written about the Anthropocene—a proposed new division of geologic time in which humans are a dominant force for planetary change: When did it begin? How might it unfold? And can we, the supposed masters of Earth, actually use our powers to make our planet a better place? Understandably, most of the Anthropocene’s literature to date both in the popular press and peer-reviewed publications has been decidedly Earth-centric. But in a recent series of papers and a new book, Light of the Stars: Alien Worlds and the Fate of the Earth, the astrophysicist Adam Frank argues the Anthropocene’s origins and implications are best understood in the context of astrobiology, the study of life in the universe. The climate change and other environmental effects associated with humankind’s global ascendance, he says, are likely to be universal phenomena manifest for any and every technological civilization that emerges somewhere in the cosmos. Which means the most crucial insights governing the Anthropocene may come less from studying the ground beneath our feet and more from turning our gaze to the heavens.
Scientific American spoke with Frank, a professor at the University of Rochester, about the lessons to be learned from speculations about alien civilizations battling climate change.
What motivated you to write this book?
The book was inspired by some frightening conversations I ended up having with climate change denialists in response to my pieces on that topic for National Public Radio and The New York Times. It was terrifying, really, to see how locked into their perspective these people are and to realize there’s this false narrative about climate change, which we’re stuck in. So this was motivated, in part, by my thinking about how to change the discussion.
Over the years what I’ve come to understand is that human-driven climate change is really an astrobiology problem. It’s not a problem of politics. It’s not a problem of businessmen versus environmentalists. We are talking about something much bigger—a planetary transition, which some scientists label as the Anthropocene. Climate change is just one aspect of this new human-dominated period. My argument is that Anthropocenes may be generic from an astrobiological perspective; what we’re experiencing now may be the sort of transition that everybody goes through, throughout the universe. And there are probably some common features to long-lived civilizations and the planets they inhabit.
I really started exploring this in 2014, when I co-authored a paper with Woody Sullivan of the University of Washington that proposed using dynamical systems theory to model some of these planetary transitions. We argued that it’s possible to identify the basic paths that “exocivilizations” might follow and the feedbacks that might occur when they begin altering their planetary climates. In my latest paper, just published with several colleagues, we went ahead and actually did some of that modeling.
Why would you have any faith in models examining the behaviors of exocivilizations—something no one has ever seen?
I like to draw a parallel to the Higgs boson. This is a fundamental particle that was “discovered” in 2012, but really you could say it was discovered in 1964. That was when three papers appeared extrapolating from well-understood physics to propose this particle that would wait nearly a half century before actually being seen. The details obviously would have to be filled in by actual data, but in that intervening time physicists went quite far in thoroughly extrapolating the particle’s nature.
So, when it comes to thinking about the interactions between an advanced technological civilization and its planet, well, we actually know a lot more about that today than people knew about the Higgs boson 50 years ago. We have lots of examples of planetary climates that we’ve studied right here in the solar system—Venus, Mars, Titan, Jupiter and so on. And we’ve got computer models that can nicely forecast, for instance, the weather on Mars! So we really do understand climate pretty well. And a civilization, to some degree, is just a mechanism for transforming energy on a planetary surface. This gets us into the realms of thermodynamics on global scales, which is super cool.
So as long as we ask the right sort of question—“What is a planet’s response to having this energy dumped into it?”—we have reasonably good “guardrails” that allow us to address it.
But that’s mostly planetary science. What about the social or biological aspects here? How are you modeling that?
Well, just as we understand planetary climates pretty well, we can use the basic, fundamental tenets of life to guide us, too. Organisms are born, some of them reproduce and they die. Living things consume energy and they excrete waste. That should be true even if they’re made of silicon, or whatever.
So the next step is to incorporate principles of population biology, in which the idea of “carrying capacity”—the number of organisms that can be sustainably supported by the local environment—is very important. This approach can be mathematically applied to the state of a planet, too. So in our latest modeling work we’ve got an equation for how the planet is changing and an equation for how the population is changing. What ties them together is the predictable result that as environmental conditions on a planet get worse, the total carrying capacity goes down. A civilization with a population of n will use the resources of their planet to increase n, but at the same time by using those resources they tend to degrade the planet’s environment.
In our study we used these basic ideas to address the question of if, and how, exocivilizations can get through their own versions of the Anthropocene. Our first models were pretty simple but gave us a pretty rich view of the possible trajectories for exocivilizations.
What were the results of your modeling? And do they make you feel optimistic or pessimistic about our own prospects?
In the models we saw these three classes of behaviors, three trajectories: A “die-off,” where the population overshoots the carrying capacity and then dwindles; a “steady state,” where the population growth slows and ends up within the bounds of carrying capacity; and then a “collapse,” where the population and the carrying capacity both just drop like a stone.
It’s important to remember we aren’t trying to say any particular history is bound to play out on any particular planet. We are looking at the average properties of “successful” versus “unsuccessful” trajectories for civilizations reaching this Anthropocene-like planetary transition.
The results actually made me feel both optimistic and pessimistic. I was happy to see we did find sustainable steady states—it could’ve turned out that they didn’t exist. So our models predicted that long-term civilization/planet co-evolution is possible. Hooray!
But we also found trajectories where equilibrium could only be reached after 90 percent of your population died off. It’s not even clear that a complex technological civilization could survive losing nine out of every 10 individuals. It might well just descend into chaos.
And, there was also a fourth and really chilling trajectory we found. It popped up when we looked at how a civilization might switch from high-impact to low-impact energy sources—such as switching from fossil fuels to solar power, for instance. In some of those scenarios, where the population is soaring and the planet is heating up, the civilization shifts to the low-impact energy resource and everything seems to get better at first—but then a collapse occurs anyway. This fourth trajectory is really scary, because it suggests you can make all the right choices and still have things not work out.

Why would that happen?
Because planets are complex systems that exhibit nonlinear dynamics. Messing around with a planet’s climate can be like rolling a big rock down a hill. Once the rock really gets going there’s no turning back, and maybe it just shoots right off a cliff.
The climate is basically a giant planet-sized machine with lots of moving parts—the atmosphere, the lithosphere, the cryosphere, the biosphere—and the interactions between those moving parts may be quite sensitive. So if you push it hard enough, even if you stop pushing it shortly after, there isn’t always a way to recover. That’s one of the big messages of the book. We have to start thinking like a planet. Our view of climate change—the faux political debate—is so narrow because we think we’re the first time this has ever happened. We’re kind of like cosmic teenagers who are stuck in our own immaturity.
So where do you think the Earth is in this spectrum of possibilities?
I don’t know the answer yet. I don’t think anyone knows. There needs to be more work done—better models with more realistic climates. There has certainly been a lot of discussion in the Earth science literature about planetary “tipping points,” the idea that you push too far and, woops, now you’re tipped over to another state. People worry about this a lot, that’s clear. But it’s unclear as to where and what exactly the tipping points are, and where we may be relative to them.
Right, but back to the idea of “changing the discussion”—your motivation for writing the book. Surely we could do more with these ideas than just discuss them. Don’t they recommend some action?
Of course they do—but most of those actions are indistinguishable from ones that follow from lots of other work in climate science and policy.
I really do think, though, that the route to our making it through the Anthropocene runs through other planets. We aren’t going to become a sustainable planetary civilization by only dealing with the Earth. I give lots of examples in the book, but one of the best is the fact that the climate models that revealed the possibility of “nuclear winter”—a global cooling caused by the atmospheric effects of a nuclear war—relied heavily on data about Martian dust storms. Talk about cross-fertilization! Those nuclear winter models totally changed the debate about nuclear weapons, and they came from understanding another world.
So we can’t just sit here studying tipping points on Earth at the expense of going out and exploring other worlds and looking for life and intelligence elsewhere, because the knowledge we gain from that is probably essential for our own future. Think of it this way: If you’re sick and you go to the doctor to be cured, the doctor will have pretty limited abilities if he only has ever studied [just] you. If he has studied you and lots of other people, [however,] he’ll have a much clearer picture of what ails you. It’s probably like that with planets and civilizations, too.

Astronomers have been searching for a Planet Nine – a world about 10 times Earth’s mass – for about 2 years and have yet to spot it. Maybe there’s another explanation?
Caltech astronomers suggested in 2016 that orbits of these 6 extreme trans-Neptunian objects (in magenta) – all mysteriously aligned in one direction – might be explained by the presence of a Planet Nine (in orange) in our solar system. Despite searches, no Planet Nine has yet been found.

As recently as late May, an international team of researchers presented new evidence for an unknown Planet Nine at the fringes of our solar system. The evidence came from analysis of an oddball object in the outer solar system – 2015 BP519 (aka Caju) – whose unusual orbit had been predicted by computer models used by astronomers who’ve been searching for Planet Nine since 2016. Last week, however, other astronomers – members of the Eccentric Dynamics group at University of Colorado, Boulder – presented evidence that Planet Nine might not need to exist, after all. Ann-Marie Madigan, who leads the group, presented the group’s findings at last week’s American Astronomical Society meeting, which ran from June 3-7, 2018 in Denver. Her team’s statement said:
Bumper car-like interactions at the edges of our solar system — and not a mysterious ninth planet — may explain the the dynamics of strange bodies called “detached objects” …
In the new study, Madigan and colleagues Jacob Fleisig and Alexander Zderic, also of CU Boulder, looked carefully at the orbits of some of these objects. For example, they looked at the small outer solar system body 90377 Sedna, which orbits our sun at a distance of nearly 8 billion miles (13 billion km). The orbits of Sedna and a handful of other bodies at that distance look separated – or detached – from the rest of the solar system. These strange orbits are what led Caltech astronomers Mike Brown and Konstanin Batygin to propose a Planet Nine in the first place.
Brown and Batygin had suggested that an as-yet-unseen ninth planet – four times the size of Earth and 10 times Earth’s mass – may be lurking beyond Neptune. They suggested the unknown planet’s gravity was influencing the orbits of the “detached objects.” Since 2016, astronomers around the world have been searching for Planet Nine, but no one has found it yet.
Does Planet 9 exist? Collective gravity theory DISPROVES mysterious ninth planet in system
Meanwhile, Madigan, Fleisig and Zderic have explored a new idea about the orbits of these outer solar system bodies. The new calculations show the orbits might be the result of these bodies jostling against each other and debris in that part of space. In that case, no Planet Nine would be needed. Madigan said:
There are so many of these bodies out there. What does their collective gravity do? We can solve a lot of these problems by just taking into account that question.
Ann-Marie Madigan, Jacob Fleisig and Alexander Zderic of the Eccentric Dynamics group at CU Boulder.
Madigan pointed out that the outer solar system is:
… an unusual place, gravitationally speaking.
Once you get further away from Neptune, things don’t make any sense, which is really exciting.
Her team’s statement explained:
Among the things that don’t make sense: Sedna. This minor planet takes more than 11,000 years to circumnavigate Earth’s sun and is a little smaller than Pluto … Sedna and other detached objects complete humongous, circle-shaped orbits that bring them nowhere close to big planets like Jupiter or Neptune. How they got out there on their own remains an ongoing mystery.
Madigan’s team didn’t originally intend to look for an alternate explanation for the orbits of detached bodies. Instead, Jacob Fleisig, an undergraduate studying astrophysics at CU Boulder, was engaged in developing computer simulations to explore the dynamics of orbits. Madigan said:
He came into my office one day and said, “I’m seeing some really cool stuff here.”
Fleisig had calculated that the orbits of icy objects beyond Neptune circle the sun like the hands of a clock. Some of those orbits, such as those belonging to asteroids, move like the minute hand, or relatively fast and in tandem. Others, the orbits of bigger objects like Sedna, move more slowly. They’re the hour hand. Eventually, those hands meet. Fleisig said:
You see a pileup of the orbits of smaller objects to one side of the sun. These orbits crash into the bigger body, and what happens is those interactions will change its orbit from an oval shape to a more circular shape.
In other words, Sedna’s orbit goes from normal to detached, entirely because of those small-scale interactions. The team’s findings also fall in line with recent observations. Research from 2012 noted that the bigger a detached object gets, the farther away its orbit becomes from the sun — exactly as Fleisig’s calculations show.

These astronomers say their findings may provide clues about another phenomenon: the extinction of the dinosaurs. As space debris interacts in the outer solar system, the orbits of these objects tighten and widen in a repeating cycle. This cycle could wind up shooting comets toward the inner solar system on a predictable timescale. Fleisig said:
While we’re not able to say that this pattern killed the dinosaurs, it’s tantalizing.
Madigan added that the orbit of Sedna is one more example of just how interesting the outer solar system has become. She said:
The picture we draw of the outer solar system in textbooks may have to change. There’s a lot more stuff out there than we once thought, which is really cool.
Astronomers Mike Brown and Konstanin Batygin (@KBatygin on Twitter), both of Caltech, proposed Planet Nine in 2016 and are still trying to investigate it.
Bottom line: Astronomers at Caltech proposed a Planet Nine in 2016, and other astronomers around the world have been searching for it. Yet no one has spotted it. Meanwhile, there’s research suggesting we might not need a Planet Nine to explain the strange orbits of small bodies in the outer solar system.
It’s awesome to be back on the site and bringing new and fresh knowledge for you all to feast on.
I took a long hiatus to contemplate, meditate, and investigate. The knowledge that I have been given to in turn give to humanity is vastly extensive and threads throughout the very thing we all know as reality. You could call me a translator. I somehow know how to explain this very difficult and fantastic revelation to a population that has been subdued and limited.
In a nutshell, I have discovered Ancient Aliens, where they are, where they have been hiding, and the evolution they are now experiencing in harmony with the consciousness evolution of the Human specie.
I did not need a telescope, nor did I need a microscope, although I can show you the existence of Ancient Aliens with either. There is one thing wrong with the mind, once it decides something does not exist, it will try its hardest to keep it that way.
The mind and the brain must become one, trusting each other to provide pure knowledge and insight into what IS, and not so much what is not.
I am here to provide answers to questions that have been pondered for centuries.
I am here to connect dots for researchers that have hit wall after wall by limiting their research to only what is already known.
I can provide an extensive amount of assistance to organizations researching space, searching for extraterrestrials and analyzing the latest changes on the planet.
Humans, in this day and age, tend to think they know everything, and even more-so, that everything is known. This is a limiting factor in the revelation of these Ancient Aliens.
I am the conduit, the ambassador to Ancient Aliens, the one who has been bestowed the sacred ancient knowledge. I am humbled to be the holder of such a delicate and unraveling ball of wisdom. And although I feel humbled, I also feel empowered to spread this knowledge amongst the people of Earth before it is once again locked up.
The true curse of this realm called 3D is the illusion of “reality”.
The Webster Phenomena, the realization of this illusion will actually break the illusion, or the curse of not knowing the truth.
A foolish world is one that does not heed the wisdom of Nature.
Knowledge is the ultimate power.

En décembre 2017, le New York Times dévoilait tout : Le Pentagone a investi plus de 100 millions de dollars dans la recherche sur les ovnis, entre 2007 et 2012. Cette révélation s’accompagnait de la déclassification de documents, et surtout d’une vidéo montrant, en 2004, de pilotes de chasse américains à la poursuite d’un étrange objet ovale blanc, aujourd’hui surnommé le « Tic Tac volant ». Celui-ci avançait à une vitesse folle sans pour autant visiblement posséder de moyen de propulsion.
Ovni : la vérité est au Pentagone - 28 minutes - ARTE
Aujourd’hui, une équipe de chercheurs de Las Vegas, menée par le journaliste George Knapp, a mis la main sur un document officiel de 13 pages contenant l’analyse militaire des événements qui se sont déroulés ce jour-là, rapportait Motherboard le 24 mai.
D’après le rapport, l’ovni vu par les deux pilotes aurait réalisé un piqué, passant de « 60 000 pieds à environ 50 pieds d’altitude en quelques secondes ». Qui plus est, aussitôt repéré par le radar, celui-ci a disparu à une vitesse incroyable, grâce à une « capacité d’accélération, d’aérodynamique et de propulsion avancée ». L’un des deux pilotes a également signalé avoir observé une « perturbation » à la surface autrement calme de l’océan « d’un diamètre de 50 à 100 mètres, quasiment circulaire ». Elle lui a fait penser « aux images d’un appareil plongeant rapidement sous la surface comme un sous-marin ou un navire en train de couler».
Le fichier contient également le témoignage d’un membre expérimenté du porte-avion à l’origine de la découverte. Selon lui, l’ovni ressemblait à un missile balistique. Et la raison pour laquelle il a échappé aux radars est simple : il était réglé de sorte à surveiller les avions conventionnels et non pas les missiles. Si cela peut rassurer ceux que les extraterrestres effraient, l’hypothèse de voir un missile inconnu flotter dans les airs avant de disparaître n’est guère plus rassurante ou logique.
What’s worse than having your city battered and broken by a violent storm? Getting smacked in the head by a flying octopus while it’s happening, adding insult to injury or, depending on the size of the sky-surfing cephalopod, just more injury. While there are no reports of anyone being hurt by an octopus-turned-missile, a recent storm in the Chinese city of Qingdao bring a mass of octopus, starfish, squid and other sea creatures falling from the sky in the most recent case of bizarre “fish rain.”
Apocalypse Octopus Rain Sea creatures fall from the sky
The storm on Wednesday, June 13 fizzled out before pushing far inland but it did hit the coastal city of Qindao, and the Chinese Meteorological Administration confirmed that the photos of starfish, shrimp, mollusks, and octopus gripped on to cars and homes were, in fact, real. The photos out of Qingdao also included fake images of robots and “monsters” amidst the damage. Aren’t flying octopus enough? Do you really need to add robots to the mix?
The likely cause of the “seafood rain” (as it’s infuriatingly being referred to on social media) is believed to be waterspouts in the Yellow Sea which presumably sucked the animals out of the water and dropped them on Qingdao.
The phenomenon of “fish rain” or “animal rain” is a rare, but very real, weather phenomenon which has been documented for centuries. Reports of thousands of falling fish, frogs, and other animals that have no business in the sky have occurred since the Roman empire. Pliny The Elder wrote about storms dumping frogs and fish into the streets as early as the first century CE. Since then, fish rain has been seen all over the world.
In the rural town of Yoro, Honduras, residents say that a fish rain happens every year, coinciding with the first major rainfall of May or June and has been occurring for centuries. In 1998, Yoro began a yearly festival to mark the fish rain, called the lluvia de peces, complete with a carnival and parade, much to the chagrin of the fish.
While waterspouts are widely believed to be responsible for the phenomenon, the process of waterspouts sucking animals out of the sea has never been directly observed. This explanation certainly makes sense for Qingdao, China. It’s a coastal city, and this fish rain was accompanied by a large and powerful storm system. There’s probably a causal effect happening there.
Yet, with the yearly lluvia de peces in Honduras, that explanation doesn’t quite hold up. Yoro is not close enough to the ocean for a waterspout to carry a mass of fish all the way to the town every single year. Some believe that when the heavy rains fall, fish migrating through subterranean waterways and caves are drawn up to the surface by the overflowing water and left stranded when the water recedes. If that’s true then it’s sort of the opposite of a fish ran, come to think about it.
Perhaps there’s an alternate explanation. It could be—hear me out—that the scarily intelligent (and possibly alien) octopus is planning an invasion and subsequent takeover of humanity, using fish and frogs as the initial foot soldiers (the vanguard, if you will) before bringing out the big guns. Don’t say I didn’t warn you when a giant squid lands on your house and starts bossing you around.
If you’ve driven anywhere on the U.S. East Coast from Maine to Florida, you’ve probably traveled on some portion of Interstate 95. While your concerns while driving (assuming you’re not texting – stop it if you are) likely focus on things on the surface – traffic, potholes, rest stops, etc. – a new study has issued a warning that the biggest dangers encountered while traveling on that freeway are deep underground and on the surface of the sun. Wait, what?
“It’s an active problem that a lot of people are trying to solve and understand.”
“It” — according to space scientist Christopher Balch at the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado — is a geoelectric field running along I-95 from Richmond, Virginia, to Portland, Maine. Geoelectric fields are created during intense magnetic solar storms and can cause severe damage to the electrical power grid infrastructure. Concern for these storms was heightened on March 13, 1989, when a geomagnetic storm caused by a coronal mass ejection four days prior resulted in a nine-hour power outage for 6 million people served by Hydro-Québec’s electricity transmission system. Quebec was hit the hardest because it sits on a rock shield that reflected the current back up to the surface instead of letting it pass harmlessly into the earth.
Guess what lies underneath I-95?
According to an article in Bloomberg, the U.S. Geological Survey has been looking for other geological insulators like Quebec’s 300-million-year-old Paleozoic-era rock layer in order to pinpoint areas in danger of being affected in a similar manner during the next 100-year solar storm, which they fear will be happening far more often than once-a-century. Jeffrey Love, a research geophysicist with the Geological Survey and author of an upcoming report, has been mapping the geoelectric fields in the U.S. and found the rock insulation under I-95 and the electrical power grids serving Washington, Boston, New York and other major eastern cities.
Now that they know they’re in danger of a major outage during the next massive solar storm, what are power companies doing to prepare for and prevent problems? Anyone? Bueller?
“We only really have roughly 35 years of digital data. Earth conductivity is something that is just beginning to be available in more realistic types of models.”
Christopher Balch delivers the bad news that the best anyone can do right know is model the areas that would be affected and simulate the catastrophic aftermath. Digging up the rock layer is not an option.
What should you do if you’re driving on I-95 and notice the street light flickering and a lot of cars taking the next exit west? Get in line!

WETENSCHAPIn ons land, Nederland, Duitsland én Frankrijk hebben mensen gisteravond een enorme vuurbal gespot. Ook tijdens het optreden van de Foo Fighters op Pinkpop verscheen de lichtflits aan de hemel.
In totaal zijn er al negentig meldingen binnengekomen over de zogenoemde ‘fireball’, zo blijkt uit een inventarisatie van de Internationale Meteorieten Organisatie. Het ging om een lichtblauwe en lichtgroene lichtflits die in ons land werd gespot in onder meer Haasrode, Beveren en Scherpenheuvel-Zichem.

Een bezoeker van Pinkpop zag de flits in zijn ooghoeken en legde hem vast op video tijdens een optreden van de Amerikaanse rockband Foo Fighters, blijkt uit een filmpje op Dumpert.
“Gisteren een #vuurbal gespot tijdens Foo Fighters op #Pinkpop, dat is toch een stuk meer rock ’n roll dan een regenboog #pp18", constateert Ruben den Boer op Twitter droogjes.

De Duitser Uwe Reichert is één van de weinigen die de vuurbal zag én op de foto wist vast te leggen. Met zijn Canon EOS met 180 millimeterlens wist hij de vuurbal in beeld te brengen. “Met beeldbewerking iets opgelicht”, geeft Reichter wel toe op Twitter.
Dag en nacht
De Duitser is wetenschapsredacteur en ‘bedrijft dag en nacht astronomie’, zoals hij zelf zegt. Op Twitter kreeg hij zoveel reacties dat hij er niet in slaagt om iedereen persoonlijk te bedanken. Zijn tweet met de bewuste foto werd meer dan honderd keer gedeeld en honderden keren leuk bevonden.

Een bezoeker van Pinkpop zag de flits in zijn ooghoeken en legde hem vast op video tijdens een optreden van de Amerikaanse rockband Foo Fighters, blijkt uit een filmpje op Dumpert.
“Gisteren een #vuurbal gespot tijdens Foo Fighters op #Pinkpop, dat is toch een stuk meer rock ’n roll dan een regenboog #pp18", constateert Ruben den Boer op Twitter droogjes.

De Duitser Uwe Reichert is één van de weinigen die de vuurbal zag én op de foto wist vast te leggen. Met zijn Canon EOS met 180 millimeterlens wist hij de vuurbal in beeld te brengen. “Met beeldbewerking iets opgelicht”, geeft Reichter wel toe op Twitter.
Dag en nacht
De Duitser is wetenschapsredacteur en ‘bedrijft dag en nacht astronomie’, zoals hij zelf zegt. Op Twitter kreeg hij zoveel reacties dat hij er niet in slaagt om iedereen persoonlijk te bedanken. Zijn tweet met de bewuste foto werd meer dan honderd keer gedeeld en honderden keren leuk bevonden.
Kurz nach dem Foto im letzten Tweet gelang mir um 23:11 Uhr MESZ dieser Schnappschuss: #Mond#Venus#Feuerkugel. Canon EOS 6D, f=180mm, ISO 4000, Bl. 10, t=1,6sec; mit Bildbearbeitung etwas aufgehellt. pic.twitter.com/16RGhWZk6s
WEERNIEUWSEen tsunami, maar dan vanuit de lucht. Zo omschrijft bergbeklimmer Peter Maier (27) het opmerkelijke weerfenomeen dat hij kon vastleggen aan de Millstätter See in Oostenrijk. Het gaat om een zogenaamde downburst of microburst.
Bij een downburst of microburst is er een zeer lokale, plotselinge verandering in de wind, waarbij de lucht plots heel fel versnelt op weg naar het aardoppervlak. In dit geval lijkt het wel alsof iemand plots een emmer water in het bergmeer giet. Dat heeft een lengte van 12 kilometer en is tot 1,5 kilometer breed, en ligt op een hoogte van ongeveer 600 meter. “Een lucky shot”, zegt de fervente bergbeklimmer die toch altijd verschillende camera’s bij zich heeft om de wonderen der natuur vast te leggen. “Zo’n beelden, dat kan je niet plannen.” Op Facebook werd de timelapse al 1,6 miljoen keer bekeken.
Het weerfenomeen zelf is overigens een van de grote gevaren voor de luchtvaart. De meeste vliegtuigen zijn wel uitgerust met veiligheidssystemen om piloten te waarschuwen voor windschering.

UFO Above Prime Minister’s Residence Causes Security Panic
Spotting a UFO might be a source of wonder and curiosity for most of us, but for those individuals tasked with upholding security, spotting anomalous objects whizzing around in the sky can be incredibly stressful. UFOs have been known to penetrate restricted airspace or stalk military vehicles, leading to all sorts of alarms and tense situations. While the skeptic in me tends to think that these sightings are the result of adversarial nations spying on sensitive locations, some might claim that these events demonstrate unknown beings’ interest in our defensive capabilities.
Whatever the explanation for these sightings is, security forces in India recently responded to an unidentified aerial object seen hovering above Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence in New Delhi. On the evening of June 7th, security forces spotted a round object directly above the residence, causing a mild panic and sending personnel scrambling to locate and identify the orb. According to the Hindustan Times, the Prime Minister’s own security forces searched the area with the assistance of the Indian Air Force, Central Industrial Security Forces, and Delhi International Airport, but nothing was found.
Delhi police chief spokesperson Dependra Pathak confirmedthat some type of object was indeed seen above the PM’s residence but refused to give any more information:
The Delhi Police was also roped in, which ensured a temporary additional deployment on the outer periphery of the PM’s residence, while other security agencies performed the drill to hunt the suspected threat down. The sighting was reported but nothing threatening was found. More details cannot be shared keeping security reasons in mind.
While many Indian Twitter users have taken to mocking this breach of security, breaches of airspace are no laughing matter – especially given that Modi was recently the subject of a foiled assassination plot. In all likelihood, the UFO was likely a drone. Could it have been related to the assassination attempt? As the recent violence in Gaza demonstrates, however, even small drones can be fitted with explosive or incendiary devices powerful enough to cause personal injury. What can be done about this growing threat?
In December 2015, the U.S. edition of The Guardian stated: “Cultural analyst Sherry Turkle warns we’re rapidly approaching a point where: ‘We may actually prefer the kinship of machines to relationships with real people and animals.’ Certainly we have long had a fascination with these half-women, from The Bionic Woman in the 1970s to Her in 2013, where Joaquin Phoenix fell in love with his computer’s operating system…”
The late Mac Tonnies, who wrote three books – The Cryptoterrestrials, After the Martian Apocalypse, and Illumined Black – had a particular interest in this field. More than a decade ago I interviewed Mac about his growing interest in the field of sex with robots (he died in 2009). And, while going through a box of old files yesterday I stumbled on the Word document of the Q&A for the first time in years. So, I thought I would share it with you today.
It was, Mac told me, Blade Runner that caught his attention and led him to start digging into the world of robot-human sex: “”I saw that movie for the first time in high-school. It had Darryl Hannah playing a robot called Pris, who is described as a ‘pleasure model.’ She’s all punked-out: big-hair, eye-liner, and looks like your typical genetically-engineered hooker. But she’s essentially human: she’s an individual. So, the whole idea of having intimate relations with machines began to interest me.”
Mac continued: “As things stand now, we’re in the infant stage of development, and the closest things we have to full-on human-robot sex are, effectively, high-tech dildos. But in 20 years we’re liable to see sex-oriented technology transformed and revolutionized; many will choose robotic partners. My interest in robot-sex is actually kind of clinical. I would probably do it out of sheer interest and curiosity. She would have to pass for human though; right down to the pores on her skin. I wouldn’t make a habit out of it; but as a curiosity, I’d try it.”
He added: “Most people think of robots as being something clunky and mechanical – something we’re not attracted to on the sexual level. But if we get to the point where science is now heading – where we have very realistic human-like robots – they would bear very little resemblance to the sci-fi image that people have from Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. If you look at the robots in Blade Runner, you’ll see they actually aren’t mechanical at all: they’re genetically engineered. So, in the future we might grow an artificial embryo in a vat and then plug in a computerized brain, into which we’ll download sex-based software.”
He speculated on how the phenomenon of human-robot sex might progress: “I think shallow relationships, closed-minded ones, would be the first to suffer if one of the people in the relationship brought a robot home. However, more robust relationships might thrive. It will be the underground, alternative couples that embrace this. The people who might be swingers, who go to sex clubs, or who have three-ways; these would probably be the ones more likely to experiment with robot-sex and make it a part of their sexual lifestyle.”
Mac had more to say, too: “I can easily foresee companies selling themed robots. You’ll have just as many themed robots as there are sexual kinks. Robotic lovers, perhaps complimented by virtual reality, will allow people to live out whatever fantasies they want with surprising realism. Even further ahead, I also think that this sexual revolution will blur the lines of sexuality: gay, lesbian, bi or whatever may become somewhat outdated as people start to experiment with future-sex.
“Some sex-robots might even be reproductions of celebrities: for example, you could go online and have delivered to your front-door a life-like Pamela Anderson robot. And, maybe, for people who are nervous about bringing a real girl into the bedroom, but who are also really curious about trying it, a machine just might work. We’ll probably be able to download different personalities into our sex-robots, too: kind of like switching avatars in an online chat-room.”
Mac also addressed the matter of our sex-machines becoming intelligent. He said: “Right now, we program our machines to work for us. They don’t have intelligence. But it’s only a matter of time before we develop robots that think for themselves and become individual, living beings. The only difference is that whereas we are carbon-based, they will be synthetic: grown instead of born. When that happens, everything changes. We might even see the robots refusing to have sex with us, and just wanting to have sex with each other. But on the other hand, knowing that we are having sex with a machine that has intelligence – rather than just with a mindless, blow-up doll – might be a turn-on for both us and them.”
Mac concluded: “Religious groups will probably see this as an affront to humanity. But there are people out there who will pay handsomely to have sex with machines, if they are sufficiently human-like. I don’t think it denigrates the human condition. After all, we’re lusty creatures. And it’s not terribly offensive. At first, it might be seen as being that way. But when they begin to look and act like us, it will be no big deal to say: ‘My girlfriend’s a robot.'”
As someone who used to regularly write features for Penthouse, who promoted (for the now-defunct DFW Nites) strip-clubs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and who doesn’t have any hang-ups, I don’t see any harm in this at all. But, personally, I’ll stick to real women. Of course, fifty years from now, my preference might very well be seen as outmoded. Completely redundant, even!
We’ve all heard about the search for life on other planets, but what about looking on other moons?
Europa a watery moon
(May harbor Life)
In a paper published June 13 in The Astrophysical Journal, researchers at the University of California, Riverside and the University of Southern Queensland have identified more than 100 giant planets that potentially host moons capable of supporting life. Their work will guide the design of future telescopes that can detect these potential moons and look for tell-tale signs of life, called biosignatures, in their atmospheres.
Since the 2009 launch of NASA’s Kepler telescope, scientists have identified thousands of planets outside our solar system, which are called exoplanets. A primary goal of the Kepler mission is to identify planets that are in the habitable zones of their stars, meaning it’s neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water — and potentially life — to exist.
Terrestrial (rocky) planets are prime targets in the quest to find life because some of them might be geologically and atmospherically similar to Earth. Another place to look is the many gas giants identified during the Kepler mission. While not a candidate for life themselves, Jupiter-like planets in the habitable zone may harbor rocky moons, called exomoons, that could sustain life.
“There are currently 175 known moons orbiting the eight planets in our solar system. While most of these moons orbit Saturn and Jupiter, which are outside the Sun’s habitable zone, that may not be the case in other solar systems,” said Stephen Kane, an associate professor of planetary astrophysics and a member of the UCR’s Alternative Earths Astrobiology Center. “Including rocky exomoons in our search for life in space will greatly expand the places we can look.”

The researchers identified 121 giant planets that have orbits within the habitable zones of their stars. At more than three times the radii of the Earth, these gaseous planets are less common than terrestrial planets, but each is expected to host several large moons.
Scientists have speculated that exomoons might provide a favorable environment for life, perhaps even better than Earth. That’s because they receive energy not only from their star, but also from radiation reflected from their planet. Until now, no exomoons have been confirmed.
“Now that we have created a database of the known giant planets in the habitable zone of their star, observations of the best candidates for hosting potential exomoons will be made to help refine the expected exomoon properties. Our follow-up studies will help inform future telescope design so that we can detect these moons, study their properties, and look for signs of life,” said Michelle Hill, an undergraduate student at the University of Southern Queensland who is working with Kane and will join UCR’s graduate program in the fall.
Video – Very rare footage of the Belgium UFO Wave of 1989
Video – Very rare footage of the Belgium UFO Wave of 1989
This clip of a flying triangular object in the Belgian skies is one of the best and rarest UFO video footage out there.
This video footage is so rare that it is hard to find on the Internet. The UFO with the 3 light was filmed during the popular UFO flap in 1989.
It is only the footage of the object with the three triangular lights that is interesting. Even the military did not know what this was. There was radar confirmation by multiple sources of these objects and outmaneuvered any human-made airplane at that time.
Understanding Grays is an enigma to contactees and ufologists.
There are those times when you know that something is clicking, it’s working. We received a voicemail from Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove regarding his most recent interview with Dr. Jorjani. It was surprising to say the least. Dr. Mishlove has discussed many things on his show New Thinking Allowed, with some attention paid to extraterrestrial races occasionally.
High strangeness and strange encounters have evolved our experience beyond the fearful impressions that the unknown often evokes in humans. Still, we tend to view things only from a human-centric perspective. How could we not? But, can we move beyond it?
Conversations That Matter
The conversation covers much more than you might expect and goes deeper into the history of many well-known explorers of associated events with various types of what we’ve called extraterrestrials. Perhaps they are interdimensional, ultradimensional or extradimensional and we just don’t have a reference point for which to determine an appropriate label.
There are a number of races interacting with us. A quick Google search might even reveal names of star systems from which they may come. Are they us in the future or, more likely, are they reaching out to us because all planetary civilizations go through certain process in their evolution toward higher types of civilizations, as in the Kardashev scale. They have been through the process already and seek to share with us the wisdom garnered.
The aspect of fearing ‘what is,’ that which is beyond our experience or understanding, is crucial to our ability to withstand the confrontation of a new experience beyond human. The transformation is, in essence, recognizing the consciousness we carry in these bodies. The aspects of self-actualization and self-realization may indeed be the process of becoming aware of the fact. It can be said that we are cosmic consciousness condensed into form.
The Business of Beings
Perhaps the beings, whether physical or pure energy, hold the key to understanding and just want to share, helping us to emerge into a more evolved form, not necessarily from out of the future but in the present with an expanded awareness we have yet to understand.
Linear thinking has limited us, kept us in the human-centric point of view. We are more. Perhaps non-linear thinking might allow us to consider the interesting fact that in the table of elements, there is only one element that does not have a proton, electron and neutron configuration of some sort, indicating the potential of the ‘trinity’ from the macro being present in the micro. Hydrogen is both the bonding agent for our DNA and it powers our sun. There is a potential correlation there, perhaps.
The idea of being able to ‘take’ the gift being offered us, as Jason refers to the message given by the Grays, is to withstand the fear while embracing the love or new living conditions that appear to be the prudent path to a new world order of harmony among people and planet. The Grays understand the necessity to be in harmony with the universe, a step beyond people and planet. It would seem, from historical accounts and the conversation with Jeffrey and Jason, that moving beyond the human-centric view is essential.
Seeing Clearly
Imagery presented during experiences are relative to our ability to perceive the message as it is intended. Jason mentions that Whitley’s understanding of the Wolfen was they were precursors to the appearance of the Grays. How many subtle, or not so subtle, hints are we offered in our own experiences as precursors to something else because we wouldn’t be able to handle the direct approach? I’d imagine that most contactees and even preverts would acknowledge that they’ve experienced similar paths to understanding.
Being gifted a new world if we can take it, for me, has nothing to do with stealing. The polarity of either giving or taking is, again, human-centric. What if it just ‘IS’? The gift alludes to the progression of human consciousness beyond our current constraints, fear-based models. Can we handle it? Can we drop the fear of the unknown so embedded in our mental processing?
So far there is no definitive answer for the ‘missing link’ and perhaps the form needed to evolve in order to house a larger brain with the capacity for self-awareness and more. Like many species on Earth that have experienced ‘evo-leaps’ or mutations into different forms more capable of handling the environment they are in is consistent with this possibility. No genetic manipulation, from outside, was or is necessary let alone actually done. It was a natural thing.
We’re All the Same
Carbon is both life-giving and and life-taking in certain forms. We are carbon-based beings. Nanostring technology offer next-level computing. Too much carbon in our air destroys life. Not that I’m a religious person, but like Jason I look for patterns and similarities in historical accounts. It occurred to me that the number of man, 666, is perhaps the carbon atom. It is a number of knowledge and wisdom, or so we are informed just prior. There is a perfected human, perhaps the imago Jason notes. Perhaps the next missing link we are discovering is the evo-leap of consciousness beyond fear, beyond the constraints of human-centric perception.
Tricksters have always been present in the evolution of our lives, like the Archons of old, who are really benign or benevolent, but because of their teasing and testing of our faith we often see them as malevolent. Any time we are confronted and forces to think or have faith, we project a sense of evil on the one presenting the challenge. They aren’t really, but we sure think so. It is the surrender of will to the Divine (something greater than our personal will), the release to unconditional love or where perfect love eliminates all fear that we seek to reside.
The idea of these visitors being refugees seems logical from Jason’s point of view, but I’ve never encountered the idea of any kind of refugee program. I do, however, agree they are attempting to nurture us into something greater than we are currently. A long time from now we may be able to visit other worlds as easily as they do, but we have to learn to get along here first. Everything hinges on that activity, which is a ‘gift’ – poison to the dominant culture.
In conclusion,
the interview was excellent in cross-referencing material and people who’ve sought to understand the nature and purpose of these encounters. The open-minded approach to possibilities was engaging, yet fell short of the greater view I thought was possible. Human-centrism is a challenge we are being asked to overcome in order to understand a much bigger picture, imho. Perhaps further discussions like this will help pave the way.
The Metaphysical Implications of Free Will with Jason Reza Jorjani
Dharma and Tantra with Jason Reza Jorjani
Jason Reza Jorjani
Jason Reza Jorjani is a philosopher and author of Prometheus and Atlas, World State of Emergency, Lovers of Sophia, and Novel Folklore: The Blind Owl of Sadegh Hedayat.
Here he reviews the history of tantric practices and distinguishes tantra from conventional forms of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) and Buddhism. He notes that a major thrust of tantra is to challenge the conventional mores of society. Therefore, today's tantric practitioners will, necessarily, have different challenges than in earlier generations. He relates tantric practice to modern philosophical traditions, particularly Friedrich Nietzsche's Will to Power.
New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness exploration.

Superfast Horseshoe UFO Performing High-Speed Maneuvers, June 2018
An Orb of Light/UFO was filmed 6/14/2018 in France. On the video, you can see it perform high-speed aerial maneuvers and execute intelligent control and then phase out of our reality perhaps into a higher dimension. This is awesome footage.
Luis Elizondo On The UFO Phenomenon: 'What is mankind? What if it's mankinds?'
Luis Elizondo On The UFO Phenomenon: 'What is mankind? What if it's mankinds?'
Luis is back out in public - this is from late May 2018.
Halfway in he drops the idea that this has to do with what we call paranormal and fringe physics that maybe isn't so fringe.
"What is mankind? What if it's mankinds?"
This is clearly referring to the breakaway civilization "conspiracy theory".
Here's a TLDR with timestamps:
1:12 What does it mean to be human? Elizondo talks about what it means to be human and poses questions as well.
3:32 Explains that for the past decade he's been pondering that question due to working at AATIP. Starting with a small scope of "What was it? How does it work?"
4:43 Explains how they approached studying the phenomenon.
6:11 Explains 5 Observables of the Phenomenon:
Sudden & Instantaneous Acceleration
Hypersonic Velocities Without Signatures
Low Observability
Trans-Medium Travel
Positive Lift
7:13 They have mathematical formulas, scientific models, and observations coming together. As to "What they are?”, Elizondo says were probably not much closer. Elizondo is excited because they just about figured out "how do they work?" in their opinion. There is a better understanding now than two and half years. They are able to replicate some of the physics in a laboratory.
8:41 Explains challenges that exist through a test and explains how paranormal is paranormal until it becomes normal. 12:27 Why did [Elizondo] decide to leave the department? Old saying, "Sometimes if you like an organization, you stay with it. If you love an organization you leave it" Short answer: Bureaucracy
13:51 Does [Elizondo] believe in extraterrestrial life?Believes it's possible, but needs more data.
15:07 Does [Elizondo] believe we're close to how they work?Yes, really close. Elizondo guesses technology is 20 years out. They are currently replicating some of it at a small level. Issue is scalability from small to large.
16:19 What was the largest single credit of success for AATIP?The people. Hard working people without credit most of the time.
17:04 How important is Latin America is helping understand the phenomenon?Absolute critical. Can't do it without Latin America for many reasons. One reason, many Latin American countries have openly acknowledged they have a UAP program. Reason two, there seems to be a lot of incidents down there.
18:44 They are in the process of creating a community of interest electronically. Powerful, complicated, and expensive tool. It is going to be done in phases. As things are happening, you might get an alert. One will be able to provide information in, take information out, and tailor the tool to their personal curiosities.
This massive looking, multi-colored UFO was filmed over Houston Texas and submitted to the MUFON UFO network. This footage gives an incredibly detailed at the craft that was in the sky that night. Some of the best UFO footage comes out of Texas.
Texas oil worker escapes abduction by UFO – and has pictures to ‘prove it’
Texas oil worker escapes abduction by UFO – and has pictures to ‘prove it’
A Texas oil worker escaped the clutches of alleged alien abductors – and has pictures showing an extraterrestrial with an alarmingly large horn on its forehead, which may or may not double as an anal probe.
Ronny Dawson, an oil tanker driver, said, ‘This thing came right in from outer space, and flew right over me.
‘I was standing on top of these petrol tanks and taking photographs. I hid between the tanks, because it scared the Hell out of me.’
Sadly, as is so often the case, Dawson seemed only to have a really low-resolution flip-phone camera with him, so the pictures are a little blurred.
He says, they show, ‘an actual UFO, an alien in the UFO, and an alien mothership,’ – but you’ll have to take his word for it.
‘It was a ship that was travelling above the trees, and the lights went out,’ he says, in a video on Disclose TV.
‘He either has a horn on his head or a helmet. He isn’t a little green man, is he?’
Mercifully, Dawson escaped his clutches without discovering the uses of the horn.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigator’s Manual, says, ‘It is not often we get pictures of aliens and UFOs and here the witness seems sincere – and is not an anonymous YouTuber. The frustrating thing is that the images are, as he admits, fuzzy, and it certainly helps that he describes what they represent in more detail.’
‘From his testimony he clearly saw these things but whatever they were is as hard to say, are they evidence of an alien visitation or something more mundane?’

Want to Take a 10-Day Trip to the Space Station? It'll Cost You $55 Million
Want to Take a 10-Day Trip to the Space Station? It'll Cost You $55 Million
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
Want to Take a 10-Day Trip to the Space Station? It'll Cost You $55 Million
You can now sign up for a 10-day mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS) — if you've got $55 million to spare.
That's the price just announced by Axiom Space, a Houston-based company that's organizing expeditions to the ISS and working to build the first commercial space station. The $55 million covers the orbital stay, transportation to and from the ISS, and a 15-week astronaut-training program.
"It is an honor to continue the work that NASA and its partners have begun, to bring awareness to the profound benefits of human space exploration and to involve more countries and private citizens in these endeavors," Axiom Space CEO and President Michael Suffredini, who managed NASA's ISS program for a decade, said in a statement.
Axiom Space is also developing its own station, the modules of which will launch toward, and link up with, the ISS. The Axiom station will be ready to accommodate paying passengers by 2022 if all goes according to plan, company representatives have said.
The commercial outpost will still be attached to the ISS at that point. When the huge, $100 billion orbital outpost is ready to be deorbited, the Axiom station will detach and begin flying freely. (Exactly when this will happen is unclear; the ISS is currently funded through 2024, but it's possible that operations could be extended beyond that date.)
The commercial station's interiors are being designed in partnership with French architect Philippe Starck, so they'll be quite a bit different from the utilitarian spaces of the ISS.
"This is a dream project for a creator like me with a genuine fascination for aviation and space exploration," Starck said in the same statement. "The greatest human intelligence in the world focuses on space research. My vision for the habitation module on Axiom Station is to create a comfortable egg that is inviting, with soft walls and a design perfectly in harmony with the values and movements of the human body in zero gravity."
Tourists have visited the ISS before. Seven folks took a total of eight trips to the orbiting lab from 2001 through 2009, paying an estimated $20 million to $40 million each time.
And Axiom Space isn't the only company working to develop a commercial space station. For example, in April, a startup called Orion Span announced that it aims to have a "luxury space hotel" operating in Earth orbit by 2022.

Bigelow Aerospace, a company that makes expandable space habitats, has also expressed a desire to set up outposts in Earth orbit, as well as in other locales, such as the surface of the moon.
Have I finally driven myself insane by researching every conspiracy I can find? Maybe. Is this going to stop me? Absolutely not. This week’s theory is definitely one for the books, so let’s get right to it.
In 1994, Quebec journalist and conspiracy theorist Serge Monast alleged NASA had plans to implement a New Age religion with a technologically simulated Second Coming of the Antichrist, kick-starting the New World Order.
In his book “NASA Blue Beam Project,” Monast outlines this process in four simple steps.
Step One
Monast said he believes the first step will be the breakdown of all archaeological knowledge. Using artificially created earthquakes in precise locations on earth, falsified discoveries will show the people the errors of all the fundamental religious doctrines, thus convincing them that they have misunderstood these doctrines all along.
“Psychological preparations for that first step have already been implemented with the film, ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ the Star Trek series, and ‘Star Wars;’ all of which deal with invasions from space and the coming together of all nations to repel the invaders,” Monast said. “The last films, ‘Jurassic Park,’ deals with the theories of evolution, and claim God’s words are lies.”
Monast states these science fiction films were produced in an attempt to brainwash and prepare humans for the ways of the New World Order.
In short, the first step is meant to “destroy the beliefs of all Christians and Muslims on the planet.”
Step Two
“The second step involves a gigantic ‘space show’ with three-dimensional optical holograms and sounds, laser projection of multiple holographic images to different parts of the world, each receiving a different image according to predominating regional national religious faith,” Monast explained.
The space show will ultimately show people the new messiah, Maitreya, calling for the immediate implementation of this new world religion.
The appearance of the messiah, Monast said, will result in holy wars and an insurmountable loss of human life. With various forms of mind control, Monast said even the most learned humans will be fooled.
Step Three
The third step in the Blue Beam Project is called Telepathic Two-Way Communication. This is also the part where I began to wonder why I even started reading this nonsense.
Anyway, the third step outlines the possibility that artificial knowledge can be transferred through satellite, resulting in the complete mind control of the planet.
“If people do not believe this kind of technology is possible, or that it is science fiction, those people put themselves in great jeopardy,” Monast said, “during the night when the new messiah will be presented to the world, they will not be prepared and will have no time to prepare to save themselves against that kind of technology.”
Honestly, where is he getting this stuff?
Step Four
The fourth and final step concerns the supernatural manifestation by electronic means and contains three orientations.
First, the United Nations will stage an alien invasion, provoking countries with nuclear weapons to use them in defense. The second orientation is to convince the Christian population the rapture is coming, explaining aliens will invade to save them from the savage demons among them.
The last orientation will use a combination of electronic and supernatural forces in order to drive the population into mass hysteria, suicide, murder and permanent psychological disorders.
After these four steps are completed, the world as we know it will no longer exist. Mankind will be forced into a totalitarian regime; those who object to the implementation of this police state will be subjected to medical experiments, slave labor or worse.
In 1996, just two years after he published his allegations, Monast and another Canadian journalist both died of heart attacks. Neither had a history of heart disease.
Also, proponents of his theory allege that the Canadian government kidnapped Monast’s daughter in an attempt to deter him from researching Project Blue Beam. His daughter was never found.
Wow, talk about a wild ride. I am not saying I believe in Project Blue Beam, but I am not saying I don’t. It all seems a little too far-fetched. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
If we one day find ourselves victims to mind control, an alien invasion or the Antichrist, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
