Alternative suggestions to UFOs
Alternative suggestions to UFOs
Professor Chris French offers alternative suggestions to UFOs.
A researcher who discovered peculiar material at the site where many believe an alien spacecraft crashed is saying the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) may be confiscating the material next week. He says he is on the brink of proving the material is of extraterrestrial origins and is seeking help to keep the BLM from stopping his research.

Frank Kimbler teaches Geology and other earth sciences at the high school and college level at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell. When he first arrived in Roswell to begin work at the Institute, he says he thought it would be fun to look into the local UFO legend. Roswell is famous for the alleged crash of an extraterrestrial spacecraft in 1947 in the nearby desert. Kimbler examined satellite photos of the area and found areas where it appeared the ground had been burnt. He has searched these areas and has found fragments of material he feels are unusual.
An initial isotopic ratio test done in conjunction with the Roswell International UFO Museum and Research Center was inconclusive, but suggested the material may be of unearthly origins. Kimbler has continued research on the material and says he is close to proving the “ET origins of Roswell.”

However, now the BLM is inquiring about the materials and Kimbler is terrified that they may want to take it from him. Kimbler was recently contacted by them and asked to bring the materials in on Monday, June 25. This news comes less than two weeks before the annual Roswell UFO festival.
Kimbler says the BLM was told about his work when the BLM was looking into plans by festival organizers to take people out the site. However, Kimbler says according to a BLM pamphlet, he is not breaking any of their rules. Indeed the booklet does say it is OK to take a “reasonable” amount of material, barring that it is not historically or culturally significant. The material Kimbler collected would not fit either of these specifications, unless he proves otherwise, which he has not done yet, and will not be able to do if the material is taken from him.

In an email sent to me after a conversation about Kimbler’s concerns, he writes (edited for clarity):
The Bureau of Land Management contacted me today and requested that I bring the artifacts that I found down to their office in Roswell. They want their enforcement officer to look at the material and see if I’m in violation of US laws. [Their] own published document clearly says that anything less than 100 years old is not an artifact. It also says of human origin in all US laws. This a prelude to confiscation or fines or both. Seriously, folks, I’m one scientific test away from proving the ET origins of Roswell.
The meeting with the BLM is Monday morning 10:15 AM in the Roswell District office. Contact your friends especially the ones in high places, send me a good free lawyer and contact as many media people as you can. I want CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, CNN. I’m serious; the government is attempting to take the material that was found at the crash site. They are trying to stop the research.
This kind of government control needs to stop, and we as Americans have the power to do it. I can’t do by myself. I NEED HELP!
BLM may just be doing their due diligence to make sure Kimbler is in compliance, but Kimbler’s concern is understandable. It would be tragic if he could not continue his work, especially when it does not appear he is breaking any BLM regulations.
Prior to Einstein, the laws of Isaac Newton were used to understand the physics of motion. In 1687, Newton wrote that gravity affects everything in the universe. The same force of gravity that pulled an apple down from a tree kept the Earth in motion around the sun.
But Newton never puzzled out the source of gravity.
Philosopher David Hume's 1738 "A Treatise of Human Nature" was a big influence on Einstein's thinking about space and time. Hume was an empiricist and skeptic, believing that scientific concepts must be based on experience and evidence, not reason alone. He also held that time did not exist separately from the movement of objects.
"It is very well possible that without these philosophical studies I would not have arrived at the solution," Einstein wrote.
In 1905, Albert Einstein based a new theory on two principles. First, the laws of physics appear the same to all observers.
Second, he calculated that the speed of light – 186,000 miles per second (299,338 kilometers per second) – is unchanging. Prior to Einstein, scientists believed that space was filled with luminiferous aether that would cause the speed of light to change depending on the relative motion of the source and the observer.
As a result of these principles, Einstein deduced that there is no fixed frame of reference in the universe.
It is known as special relativity because it applies only to special cases: frames of reference in constant, unchanging motion. In 1915, Einstein published the general theory of relativity, which applies to frames that are accelerating with regard to each other.
Time does not pass at the same rate for everyone. A fast-moving observer measures time passing more slowly than a (relatively) stationary observer would. This phenomenon is called time dilation.
A fast-moving object appears shorter along the direction of motion, relative to a slow-moving one. This effect is very subtle until the object travels close to the speed of light.
Mass and energy are different manifestations of the same thing. Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2, means "a quantity of energy is equivalent to a quantity of mass times the speed of light squared." This is what enables the release of a huge amount of energy from a nuclear explosion.
As a result of E=mc^2, a fast-moving object appears to have increased mass relative to a slow-moving one. This is due to the fact that increasing an object’s velocity increases its kinetic energy and, therefore, its mass (since mass = energy).
The increase in mass is the reason that Einstein says that matter cannot travel faster than light. The mass increases with velocity until the mass becomes infinite when it reaches light speed. An infinite mass would require infinite energy to move, so this is impossible.
Space and time are part of one continuum, called space-time.
In Einstein's mathematics, space has three dimensions, and the fourth dimension is time. More recent theories presume extra dimensions that we do not perceive.
Space-time can be thought of as a grid or fabric. The presence of mass distorts space-time, so the rubber sheet model is a popular visualization.
Relativity explains where gravity comes from. The rubber sheet model shows that gravity results from massive objects warping space-time. The warp is called a gravity well.
Orbiting objects follow the path that is shortest and requires the least amount of energy. The planets move in ellipses, the most energy-efficient path in the gravity well of the sun.
Gravity bends light. This phenomenon is called gravitational lensing. When we observe a distant galaxy, the gravity of matter between Earth and the galaxy causes light rays to be bent into different paths. When the light reaches the telescope, multiple images of the same galaxy appear.
A new 10-year plan authored by NASA describes a number of steps that we need to undertake in order to prepare for an incoming asteroid, including some ways to deflect them.

An impact with an asteroid isn’t the likeliest thing to happen in the universe. However, despite its low probability, such a scenario is a high-consequence event which requires “some degree of preparedness,” according to the authors of the new 18-page document titled the “National near-Earth Object Preparedness Strategy and Action Plan”.
NASA has so far cataloged about 18,310 objects of all sizes, of which just over 800 are 140 meters or bigger. A 2005 congressional mandate tasked the agency with tracking 90 percent of the near-Earth objects larger than 140 meters. NASA is just one-third of the way there, however.
But while big asteroids, such as the kind that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, are absolutely brutal, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be worried by anything smaller. For instance, a 40- to 60-meter asteroid that exploded over Tunguska, Russia, leveled 2,000 square kilometers of forest. If the same were to happen over New York City, it would cause millions of casualties. Today, an asteroid of this size can’t be detected with more than a couple weeks of warning — this is why the new NASA master plan is so important.
This year, an asteroid the size of a football field came mighty close to Earth, whizzing past our planet at about half the distance from here to the moon. The really scary part is that the asteroid was detected a mere couple of hours before the flyby.
The new document establishes five strategic goals to reduce the risk of an asteroid strike. The first is improving capabilities for detecting and tracking asteroids by investing in new telescopes and computers. Secondly, NASA would like to see better modeling and simulation of impacts in order to assess potential risks. This kind of information would then be disseminated to able government bodies in order to form contingency plans and quick-response missions. Increased international cooperation is also outlined as an important strategic step in improving the planet’s security in the face of an asteroid threat.
The document also lists some potential deflection plans in the event that NASA does, in fact, detect a dangerous asteroid on a collision course with Earth. It’s worth noting that were this to happen today, there wouldn’t be much we could do.
According to the authors of the new plan, it would take as much as ten years to deflect a killer asteroid — a couple of years to design and build a spacecraft specifically designed to rendezvous with the asteroid, and another couple of years for the spacecraft to reach the cosmic body.
To deflect an asteroid or comet, a powerful robotic spacecraft would be put on a collision course with the object in the hope of changing its path. Another option is launching a nuclear device — not to blow it up but rather to superheat it enough so that the blown-off material is enough to divert the asteroid.
Meanwhile, scientists hope to learn about asteroids with some upcoming very important missions. NASA’s Osiris-Rex spacecraft is expected to travel to the asteroid Bennu later this year and return samples in 2023, while Japan’s Hyabusa 2 is close to asteroid Ryugu, with samples to be returned in 2020.
“We also discuss the observable signatures of a civilization elsewhere in the universe that is currently in this state of stellar harvesting.”
Stellar harvesting! If this were a movie, the opening would show a scientist played by Jeff Goldblum peering into a telescope, then looking up, rubbing his eyes, peering in again, then looking up again with a suitably concerned face, turning to a scientist played by Jodie Foster and saying, “You need to take a look at this!” In the real-life version, “this” is a Dyson sphere – one of those alien-built megastructures imagined to be large enough to surround a star and harvest its energy – except “this” is actually “these” … and it may not be your imagination.
Are Aliens Harvesting The Energy Of Stars?
Theoretical astrophysicist Dan Hooper from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has written a new study entitled “Life Versus Dark Energy: How An Advanced Civilization Could Resist the Accelerating Expansion of the Universe” in which he lays out the scenario of how and why …
“… a sufficiently advanced civilization would chose to expand rapidly outward, build Dyson Spheres or similar structures around encountered stars, and use the energy that is harnessed to accelerate those stars away from the approaching horizon and toward the center of the civilization.”
“A sufficiently advanced civilization” – well, Hopper isn’t talking about us. But … is he talking about a civilization that already exists and is collecting star power to navigate the galaxies, potentially conquer the universe and possibly save themselves? The “saving” part is what he focuses on in the paper. Hooper points out that the universe is expanding and that growth is accelerating, which means civilizations, us included, will start seeing stars disappear over the horizon of the universe (a great name for a progressive rock album) like ships on the ocean.
Hopper sees this as a big problem and he sees Dyson spheres as the energy harvesting tool of choice for advanced civilizations. It makes sense. We have to wait a whole eight minutes for solar energy to reach Earth. Just think how much power we’d have with a Dyson sphere around the Sun? Sure, it would block the light (see Tabby’s star) but it would provide power for plenty of lamps, not to mention ships to find more stars to suck the energy out of.
Dyson sphere cut-away
If this is already happening, Hopper says we would know it because there would be unexplained holes in the sky where there should be stars. Or stars inexplicably moving across the sky because they’re being propelled by their Dyson sphere spaceship to the star of the advanced civilization. The fact that we haven’t seen any yet doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t exist. The process may just be too complex for our less-advanced civilization to detect.
Yes, this is very sci-fi. Or is it? Anyone? Bueller? Tabby?

Fantastic Documentary Reveals How Ancient Aliens Built The Pyramids of Ancient Egypt
Fantastic Documentary Reveals How Ancient Aliens Built The Pyramids of Ancient Egypt
If there are two things that are perplexing to the human being then those are most likely Ancient Egypt and its amazing structures and the extraterrestrial beings. What if we tell you they both are somehow interconnected?
From the mysterious history of ancient Egypt emerge so many unanswered questions. Mainstream scholars are completely clueless and that’s probably because of their traditional beliefs. But what if the truth hides beyond our imagination?
When it comes to Ancient Egypt, probably, the most remarkable attribute is the Pyramids. Theconstruction of these megalithic structures thousands of years ago develops lots of mysteries.
The Ancient Alien Theory implies that otherworldly beings – guests on Earth, lend a hand on the building of the Pyramids at the Giza Plateau.
This theory asserts that our ancestors, with the technology they had thousands of years ago, couldn’t create not only the pyramids but other amazing structures within our world.
Going further from this point, the theory claims it was the intelligent alien beings who actually did it.
When it comes to pyramids, the most baffling one is clearly the Great Pyramid of Giza. This pyramid is precisely lined up and faces straight north with an only 3/60th range of error.
North Pole’s position changes with the time. This pyramid was exactly aligned at one time.
The centers of the four sides are calculated with an amazing precision bringing into existence this extraordinary eight-sided pyramid.
Namely, this result is not noticeable when you stand on the ground or from a larger distance. However, above in the air, under suitable brightness, this phenomenon glows into our perception.
In addition, these proper lights require being dawn or sunset in the spring and autumn equinoxes when the sun spreads shadow on the pyramid.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and the largest pyramid of Ancient Egypt. It measures fascinating 481 feet in height. Moreover, the shape carved into the faces of the pyramid accurately suits the radius of the Earth.
Given these facts, a few questions are inevitable: How exactly did ancient Egyptians succeed to create this world wonder of the ancient world? Did they do everything by themselves? Or did they have a helping hand from someone from the other world?
The subsequent documentary gives another, different insight into the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Its intriguing yet provocative content proposes another possible choice that explains the history of Ancient Egypt.
Watch it and leave us your comment and thoughts on the pyramids’ construction. Do you think aliens helped to build such vast structures that no doubt deserved their place in the world wonders’ list?
"'Enormous petrified mulberries': a new dimension on carved stone balls" -
"'Enormous petrified mulberries': a new dimension on carved stone balls"
By Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark Curator of Early Prehistory, Scottish History and Archaeology
Carved stone balls are one of Scotland’s most enigmatic prehistoric artefacts. Created some 5000 years ago in the Late Neolithic, their distinctive knobbed forms were carefully pecked and ground to shape by communities across the north east of Scotland. A small number, such as the Towie Ball, were elaborately incised with circles and spirals and represent some of the finest examples of Neolithic ‘passage grave’ art in Europe.
Yet we still don’t know how carved stone balls were used; in the words of archaeologists Stuart Piggott and Glyn Daniel (1951) ‘their use is wholly unknown’. It has long been postulated that they were weapons – mounted as maceheads or bound with sinew or twine and thrown like South American bolas. But other authors have suggested they were used as weights, measures, mnemonic devices or symbols of power; some mathematicians have even viewed them as representations of platonic solids. It’s easy to see why these artefacts have captured the imagination for more than two centuries.
Around 525 carved stone balls are known, the vast majority being from Scotland, with rare finds from England, Ireland and one example from Norway. National Museums Scotland holds the largest collection of carved stone balls in the world, with some 140 originals and casts of a further 60 examples from other collections. Some of our finest carved stone balls are on display in the Early People gallery, but as these artefacts are so popular we have decided to bring 60 of our carved stone balls to you as 3d models via our Sketchfab account. These examples represent a broad cross-section of the different known forms and raw materials in our collections; from three to six knobbed stones in granite, to sandstone examples covered in numerous rounded projections. The latter infamously described by Sir John Evans in his book Ancient Stone Implements (1897) as resembling ‘enormous petrified mulberries’.
Carved stone balls are probably Scotland’s most enigmatic ancient artefacts.
These models were made using photogrammetry, which uses around 150-200 images of each artefact to produce an exceptionally high-resolution 3D model. The resolution allows you to examine and appreciate these artefacts in unprecedented detail. Indeed, the model of one carved stone ball (X.AS 91) revealed traces of fine concentric circles on one projecting knob that had never been recorded before, despite the artefact having been in the museum for more than 100 years and examined by dozens of scholars. Traces of decoration and working are particularly clear in ‘matcap’ mode, which makes the artefact look like shiny metal, emphasising any irregularities in the surface.
Sharing these models on Sketchfab allows you explore these wonderful artefacts in 3d and Virtual Reality from the comfort of your own home, anywhere in the world. Enjoy!

Chinese satellite could link world to Moon's far side: space expert
China Launches Relay Satellite to Explore Moon's Far Side
A satellite with a huge golden umbrella-shaped antenna is in an orbit more than 400,000 km from Earth, waiting for Chang'e-4, which is set to be the first ever probe to land softly on the Moon's far side. The relay satellite for Chang'e-4 will establish a communication link between the Earth and the far side of the Moon, and might serve probes from other countries, contributing to international scientific exploration, said Ye Peijian, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one of China's leading space experts. The satellite, named Queqiao, or Magpie Bridge, was launched on May 21 and has entered the Halo orbit around the second Lagrangian (L2) point of the Earth-Moon system, where it can "see" both the Earth and the Moon's far side. The Chang'e-4 probe, including a lander and a rover, is expected to be launched later this year. Its mission to explore the far side of the Moon was proposed by Ye, who has worked in China's lunar exploration program since Chang'e-1 more than 10 years ago. Chang'e-4 follows on from Chang'e-3, which was launched at the end of 2013 and became the first Chinese spacecraft to soft-land on and explore an extraterrestrial object.
After Chang'e-3 accomplished its mission, China's space sector debated Chang'e-4's destination. Some were in favor of landing on the near side of the Moon again, because it's safer.
"I disagreed with that. Why should Chang'e-4 repeat what Chang'e-3 had done? We should not be afraid of failure in scientific exploration. We need innovation," Ye said.
He suggested sending the Chang'e-4 to the Moon's far side. This would be unprecedented and innovative.
He believed the United States and Soviet Union had wanted to do that in their lunar programs, but hadn't because of technological restrictions at the time.
Since the Moon's revolution cycle is the same as its rotation cycle, the same side always faces the Earth, and most of the other side is never seen from Earth. Landing and roving on the far side of the Moon require a relay satellite to transmit signals.

The first ever satellite operating on the Halo orbit around the L2 point, Queqiao used relatively small amounts of fuel during its journey to the planned orbit as it was under precise control. Its designed life is three years, but Ye said it might work for seven or eight years.
That means it could also provide communications for probes from other countries if they intend to explore the Moon's far side in the near future.
"That's the significance of going to the far side of the Moon. China will not only be the first to go there, but will also contribute to world scientific exploration," Ye said.
A reliable long-distance data transmission link is a key technological goal for space experts around the world. Queqiao carries an umbrella-shaped antenna with a diameter of 4.2 meters, the largest communication antenna ever used in deep space exploration.
The antenna was the central difficulty of the relay satellite, and took engineers a long time to develop, according to Ye.
Profile of the communication links among the Chang’e-4 relay satellite Queqiao, the Earth ground station, and the lunar lander and rover.
Its name, Queqiao, was selected from more than 100 candidate names in a public naming contest.
In a Chinese folktale, magpies form a bridge to enable Zhi Nyu, a daughter of the Goddess of Heaven, to meet her beloved husband, cowherd Niu Lang, after they were separated by the Milky Way.
"We think the name is easy to understand, and it signifies the establishment of a bridge of communication," Ye said.
The ONC-T (Optical Navigation Camera - Telescopic) captured images of Ryugu on June 17, 2018 at around 15:00 JST and June 18 at around 06:00 JST. At 15:00 JST on June 17, the distance to Ryugu was approximately 330 km, which had decreased to 240 km by June 18 at 06:00 JST.
The following figures show the original images taken by the ONC-T, without any pixel smoothing. The order of the photographs is not chronological, but show the sequential rotation of the asteroid. The change in distance is compensated by keeping the size of the asteroid constant through the image set.

Comment by Project Scientist, Sei-ichiro Watanbe
The vertical direction in these images is tilted by 10 degrees counterclockwise compared to the vertical direction of the orbital plane of Ryugu. From looking between the multiple images in this set, you can see that the vertical direction is nearly perpendicular to the plane of revolution of the asteroid. We call this direction the asteroid's axis of rotation. The direction of the rotation is reversed compared to the Earth, with a rotation period of about 7.5 hours.
The diameter of Ryugu is about 900m, which is consistent with the prediction from ground observations. However, since the distance between the spacecraft and Ryugu is not precisely determined, there is still some uncertainty in the exact diameter at this time.
The shape of the asteroid looks like a spinning top (called a "Coma" in Japanese), with the equatorial part wider than the poles. This form is seen in many small asteroids that are rotating at high speed. Observed by radar from the ground, asteroid Bennu (the destination of the US mission, OSIRIS-REx), asteroid Didymous (the target of the US DART project), and asteroid 2008 EV5 that is approaching the Earth, all have a similar shape.
On the surface of asteroid Ryugu, you can see a number of crater-like round recessed landforms. In the first image, one large example can be seen with a diameter exceeding 200m. This moves to the left and darkens as the asteroid rotates and the lower part becomes cast in shadows.
The bulge at the equator forms a ridge around the asteroid like a mountain range. Outside this, the surface topology appears very ridge-shaped and rock-like bulges are also seen. These details should become clearer as the resolution increases in the future.
Comment by Mission Manager, Makoto Yoshikawa
When I saw these images, I was surprised that Ryugu is very similar in shape to both the destination of the US OSIRIS-REx mission, asteroid Bennu, and also the target of the previously proposed MarcoPolo-R mission by Europe, asteroid 2008 EV5. Bennu and 2008 EV5 are about half the diameter (and 1/8 the volume) of Ryugu, with rotation periods about half as long. In other words, these celestial bodies are small and rotating fast compared to Ryugu. On the other hand, Bennu is a B-type asteroid, which is very similar to C-type asteroids such as 2009 EV5 and Ryugu. Therefore there should also be common properties due to the asteroid type. So we have both differences and similarities that have combined to produce very similar shapes... why is that? I think this is very interesting. So far, the asteroids we have explored have been different in shape, so Ryugu and Bennu could be the first time two similar-shaped asteroids have been examined. It will be interesting to clarify exactly what this similarity means scientifically.
If the axis of rotation for Ryugu is close to the vertical direction in this image, there is a big advantage as it will be possible to know almost the entire appearance of Ryugu at an early stage after arrival. This makes the project planning easier. However, it is also possible that potential landing sites may be limited to the equator of Ryugu. I hope we can find a suitable place to set down the lander and rovers.
Japanse sonde ontdekt kraters en gebergte op planetoïde Ryugu
Japanse sonde ontdekt kraters en gebergte op planetoïde Ryugu
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Dit zijn de beste beelden die tot op heden van de ruimtesteen zijn gemaakt!
De Japanse sonde Hayabusa2 – die zich nog deze maand in een baan rond Ryugu moet nestelen – maakte de foto’s van 245 tot 332 kilometer afstand. De nieuwe beelden zijn alweer een stuk scherper dan de foto’s die de Japanse ruimtevaartorganisatie eerder deze week vrijgaf en waarop voor het eerst – in grove lijnen – de vorm van Ryugu te zien was. Op de nieuwste beelden zien we die vorm nog beter én zijn ook de eerste details op het oppervlak zichtbaar.
Afbeelding: ONC team: JAXA, University of Tokyo, Koichi University, Rikkyo University, Nagoya University, Chiba Institute of Technology, Meiji University, University of Aizu & AIST.
Kraters en een gebergte Zo blijkt de planetoïde meerdere kraters te hebben. “Op de eerste foto zie je een voorbeeld daarvan met een diameter groter dan 200 meter,” vertelt projectwetenschapper Sei-ichiro Watanbe. “Deze beweegt naar links en wordt donkerder naarmate de planetoïde roteert en het lager gelegen deel (van de krater, red.) in de schaduw komt te liggen.” Naast kraters lijkt de planetoïde ook over een gebergte te beschikken. “De bobbel op de evenaar vormt een richel rond de planetoïde als een soort bergketen.”
Hier zie je dezelfde foto’s als hierboven, maar dan enigszins bewerkt, zodat de pixels minder hoekig zijn.

Rond de 900 meter Bovendien kan de Japanse ruimtevaartorganisatie op basis van de beelden ook meer zeggen over de omvang van de planetoïde. “De diameter van Ryugu is ongeveer 900 meter en dat is in lijn met voorspellingen gebaseerd op observaties vanaf de aarde,” vertelt Watanbe. Hij benadrukt dat het nog een schatting is. “Aangezien we niet exact weten hoe groot de afstand tussen het ruimtevaartuig en Ryugu op dit moment is, is er op dit moment ook nog enkele onzekerheid over de exacte diameter.”
Herkenbare vorm Wat we op basis van de beelden wel met zekerheid kunnen zeggen, is dat de vorm van Ryugu ons bekend voor komt. “De vorm van de planetoïde lijkt op een tol, waarbij de evenaar veel breder is dan de polen,” vertelt Watanbe. “Deze vorm zien we bij heel veel kleine planetoïden die met een hoge snelheid roteren. Radarobservaties vanaf de aarde laten zien dat planetoïde Bennu – de bestemming van de Amerikaanse missie OSIRIS-REx, planetoïde Didymos (waar het DART-project zich af moet gaan spelen) en planetoïde 2008 EV5 allemaal een vergelijkbare vorm hebben.” Het roept een interessante vraag op, zo vertelt missiemanager Makoto Yoshikawa. “Bennu en 2008 EV5 hebben een diameter die de helft kleiner is dan die van Ryugu (en 1/8 van het volume) en rotatietijden die ongeveer de helft zo lang zijn. In andere woorden: deze hemellichamen zijn klein en roteren snel in vergelijking met Ryugu. Aan de andere kant: Bennu is een B-type planetoïde, waardoor deze erg lijkt op C-type planetoïden zoals 2008 EV5 en Ryugu. Op basis daarvan zou je dan ook verwachten dat ze bepaalde kenmerken met elkaar gemeen hebben. Dus: er zijn verschillen en overeenkomsten en samen brengen die heel vergelijkbare vormen voort…waarom? Dat is heel interessant, denk ik. De planetoïden die we tot op heden bestudeerd hebben, hadden allemaal verschillende vormen, dus het kan met Ryugu en Bennu wel eens voor het eerst zijn dat we twee planetoïden met een vergelijkbare vorm gaan bestuderen.”
De komende dagen zullen we nog betere beelden van Ryugu te zien krijgen. En naar verwachting nestelt de ruimtesonde zich in de loop van volgende week in een baan rond de planetoïde. Het is het begin van een prachtige missie waarin een lander en rover op het oppervlak zullen worden gezet en Hayabusa2 zelfs een inslag zal veroorzaken op het oppervlak om dieper gelegen materiaal bloot te leggen. Uiteindelijk zal de sonde een deel van dat materiaal verzamelen en terug naar de aarde brengen.

Schotten maken prachtige 3D-modellen van de meest mysterieuze ballen op aarde
Schotten maken prachtige 3D-modellen van de meest mysterieuze ballen op aarde
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Niemand weet welke functie de ballen – die zo’n 5000 jaar oud zijn – hadden.
Het zijn de meest mysterieuze prehistorische objecten die in Schotland zijn teruggevonden en misschien zelfs wel de meest mysterieuze ballen op aarde. We hebben het over de Carved Stone Balls. Een groot aantal ervan is opgenomen in de collectie van de National Museums Scotland. Maar dankzij curator Hugo Anderson-Whymark hoef je niet meer naar Schotland af te reizen om de ballen te bewonderen. Hij heeft er namelijk prachtige 3D-modellen van gemaakt die je vanuit je luie stoel vanuit alle mogelijke hoeken kunt bekijken.
Als je de 3D-modellen ziet, rijst ongetwijfeld de vraag waarvoor deze ballen gebruikt werden. Het antwoord is enigszins teleurstellen: niemand die het weet.
Graven Op dit moment zijn er zo’n 525 van deze ballen teruggevonden. De meeste doken op in Schotland. Maar ook in Engeland en Ierland zijn ze ontdekt. En er is er zelfs eentje in Noorwegen teruggevonden. De ballen werden stuk voor stuk aangetroffen in ganggraven: grafmonumenten die bestaan uit een lange gang die leidt naar één of meerdere grafkamers.
Wapens? Waarom overledenen deze ballen – die vaak rijkelijk versierd zijn – mee kregen, is tot op de dag van vandaag onduidelijk. Wel is er al veel over gespeculeerd. Zo dachten sommige onderzoekers dat het wapens waren: de ballen werden daarbij wellicht aan een touw vastgemaakt en weggeslingerd. Anderen dachten weer dat het machtssymbolen waren of gewichten.
De 3D-modellen zullen naar verwachting niet meer inzicht geven in de functie van de ballen. Maar ze onthullen wel dat de ballen voor de prehistorische mensen belangrijk moeten zijn geweest. Dat blijkt onder meer uit het feit dat ze met zorg en oog voor detail zijn vormgegeven.
A well-known Russian expert, Ernst Rifgatovich Muldashev, ophthalmic surgeon by profession and researcher by passion, has long been looking for traces of ancient civilizations disappeared before the mankind appeared on Earth.
Muldshev, who in 2002 published three volumes of “In Search of Cities of the Gods”, followed by numerous other volumes (among which “Where do we come from” e “Between the arms of Dracula”), is convinced that the existence of more ancient civilizations of man is confirmed by archaeological finds, rock carvings, references to airplanes and Ufos in stories and legends. According to the expert, the civilizations that inhabited the planet would have been four.
ASURAS, THE NATIVES
The Asuras, or the natives, according to Muldashev were the first race appeared on Earth 10 million years ago. They were incredibly tall beings, up to 50 meters, they had an etheric body, they lived for up to ten thousand years and used telepathy to communicate with each other. In reality they were not natives of the Earth: they moved there after the death of the Phaethon planet.
The White Aryan Race, Atlantis and Unwanted Truths
ATLANTEANS, THOSE BORN AFTER
As the millennia passed, the Asuras changed, their bodies became denser. Thus a new race would develop, the Atlanteans, i.e. “those born after”. They were slightly smaller than the Asuras, they still did not have bones, but they had a third eye, located between the eyebrows.
LEMURIANS, THE BUILDERS OF THE SPHINX
After the Atlanteans, appeared on Earth the Lemurians. Much more similar to modern humans, they possessed a bone skeleton and were differentiated according to sex. The third eye was still present, but not as well developed as the Atlanteans.
Lemurians were about 7-8 meters tall and lived about a thousand years. According to Muldashev, they were the ones who built the Sphinx, Stonehenge and many other wonderful monuments of antiquity.
BOREI, THE MOST SIMILAR TO MAN
Lastly the Borei would have appeared: this race was formed long after the other, its members were much lower, did not exceed 3-4 meters in height, their third eye was more hidden while the other organs were very similar to those of man.
What happened to all these beings? According to Muldashev, about 25-30 thousand years ago on our planet occurred a nuclear catastrophe following a conflict between Lemurians and Borei. Some of the Lemurians took refuge in the caves, where they fell into a hibernating state, the other side flew away on space ships.
ARYANS, AFTER THE FALL OF ATLANTIS
After the Lemurians left the scene, the Boers and the Atlanteans reached unprecedented development peaks, but they could not avoid the disappearance of their civilizations that would have happened about 12 thousand years ago.
According to Muldashev a fifth race would have developed just before the disappearance of Atlantis, whose myth survived so far: the "aryan" race. The ancestors of modern man did not have a third eye and that's why our society would be developing more slowly.
Will it be true, or as official science says it's just about fantastic theories without any concrete proof? The experts have spoken, but this does not interest the readers of Muldashev.
This study supports our current understanding of gravity and provides more evidence for the existence of dark matter and dark energy — two mysterious concepts that scientists know about only indirectly by observing their effects on cosmic objects.
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, published in 1916, explains how gravity is the result of a concept known as the fabric of space-time. Simply put, the theory predicts how much the mass of an object — in this case, a galaxy — curves space-time. [Einstein's Theory of Relativity Explained (Infographic)]
Since the theory was first published, it has been tested a number of times within our solar system. But this new study, conducted by an international team of astronomers led by Thomas Collett of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth in the U.K., is the first precise test of general relativity on a large astronomical scale, the researchers said.
Using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, the research team found that gravity behaves the same way in a faraway galaxy as it does in our solar system — just as Einstein's theory predicts.
The researchers tested the assumption that "the same laws of physics we see working here on Earth are true anywhere else," Terry Oswalt, an astronomer and chair of physical sciences at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, said in an email to Space.com. Verifying general relativity "at all possible scales (especially the largest scale) is fundamentally important to physics as a whole, and to cosmology in particular," added Oswalt, who was not involved in the new study.
Dark matter appears to be spread across the cosmos in a network-like pattern, with galaxy clusters forming at the nodes where fibers intersect. By verifying that gravity acts the same both inside and outside our solar system, researchers provide additional evidence for the existence of dark matter and dark energy.

In validating general relativity, the findings also serve as additional evidence for the existence of dark matter and dark energy, Collett told Space.com. Dark matter and dark energy are two of the "weird things" that exist in the standard model of cosmology, Collett said.
The standard model is a theory which describes how fundamental forces and particles in the universe work and behave together, and it aims to explain our observations and experiments. However, our lack of understanding and explanation of dark matter and dark energy, "the two biggest mysteries in cosmology today," according to Oswalt, lead some to question the standard model.
"I doubt astronomers will be giving up the standard model of cosmology anytime soon," Oswalt said. So, instead of abandoning the standard model, researchers look to "make the models more precisely explain the observed data," he added.
In the standard model, dark matter is required to explain how fast stars orbit around galaxies and dark energy is required to explain why the universe is expanding faster, according to Collett.
Some scientists have suggested that "alternative gravity theories," as Collett described, could eliminate a need for dark matter and dark energy in the standard model. However, because this team has found that gravity functions outside our solar system like it does inside our solar system, for now it appears that our understanding of gravity is correct and dark matter and dark energy still fit in the standard model.
Collett noted that this study isn't concrete "proof" of dark matter and dark energy, but it serves as additional evidence that they exist.

To validate general relativity outside our solar system for the first time, the research team used strong gravitational lensing, a technique in which a massive object — in this case, a galaxy — acts like a huge lens by bending light so much that the image of a background object, also a galaxy, is distorted. This team of astronomers used the galaxy ESO 325-G004 because it's one of the closest lenses to Earth, only about 500 million light-years away.
If the two objects are well aligned, this effect creates a ring of images, known as an "Einstein ring," of the background galaxy. The radius of this ring "is proportional to the deflection of the light," Collett said, "so if you measure the radius of the ring, you can measure the curvature [of space-time]."
In addition to measuring the space-time curve, the researchers had to determine the galaxy's mass, because general relativity predicts how much curvature is created by a mass. They calculated this mass by measuring how fast the galaxy's stars travel. Then, by comparing this measured mass with the measured curvature of space-time, the team found what general relativity predicts for this mass, or galaxy.
So now, as far as we know, even outside our solar system, general relativity is the correct theory of gravity, Collett said. This team of astronomers hopes to study even farther galaxies and lenses, further verifying that gravity works the same throughout the cosmos.
"It is so satisfying to use the best telescopes in the world to challenge Einstein, only to find out how right he was," team member Bob Nichol, director of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, said in a statement.
The work is published today (June 21) in the journal Science.

Daniel Nemes scientist and inventor, originally from Spain but residing in Colombia, since he was 14 years old he became interested in astronomy and science. He was a member of the astronomical group of Madrid, Spain.
He says that the project started when he read an article in a magazine about the Dark Matter of the universe and the multidimensional universe momentarily interested him and called attention so he had the initiative to perform mathematical calculations and optical experiments to be able to capture images of ” the beyond”.
He discovered a method of capturing far superior to infrared, ultraviolet, black light, video camera with TV without antenna, etc. And that method I call ENERGIVISION . I use special lenses, ultrasensitive screens of his invention and above all sunlight. The images that he captures are of unknown origin. He explains that his theory is that they are images of other planes. However he says he has not traveled to other places to expose the invention. He has tried to make known to the scientific community and only answered a scientific body of the USA and in a rude way. The media have ignored and silenced the discovery along with the images captured.
Daniel Nemes says: “The only way I have to publicize my invention and the captures are by Facebook, since 2015 I have posted 1000 photos on my facebook. When I started to publish my images on my social network I had a lot of rejection, it was very hard and even insults towards me, fortunately my images are now more known and when I post on my facebook or in other groups it is rare to receive a disqualification or insult ” .
Judge for yourself the following images, the note is at the discretion of each person.

A model of the nonexistent Nazi UFO "Haunebu II" produced by model company Revell will no longer be produced after criticism about its historical inaccuracy. The model's packaging, which falsely proclaimed the "round aircraft" was the first object able to fly in space with a top speed of 6000 kph (over 3700 mph), failed to mention that the craft was never built, drawing fire from The German Children's Protection Association (DKSB) and Dresden's Military History Museum (MHM), according to German publication, The Local.
While Revel produces plenty of models depicting fictional spacecraft and real-life Nazi war machines this crossover product drew criticism because its lack of disclosure that the craft never existed or flew plays into prevalent, ahistorical narratives that overestimate the Nazi's level of technology and scientific innovations and serve to mythologize the fascist regime.
"At that time it was technologically impossible to build something like this. ... Enthusiasts can use this as a strategy to cast doubt on what we know today about National Socialism."
The true legacy of many of the Nazi's most ambitious technological projects is not success, but unrestrained excess and abject failure. Look no further than Hitler's frenzied dreams of the Landkreuzer P.1000 Ratte, a tank so large as to be a land battleship. The project was ultimately a boondoggle, abandoned because its gargantuan size would have rendered it both extremely vulnerable and tactically useless.
Revell, for its part, agrees with the criticism, saying in a statement: "Unfortunately, our product description does not adequately express this and we apologize for it."
WETENSCHAP Een nieuwe theorie over de beroemde oude site Stonehenge gaat stilaan de wereld rond. De stenen zouden gebouwd zijn met behulp van de beroemde stelling van Pythagoras, maar de Griekse filosoof vond die stelling pas 2000 jaar later uit. Betrapten wetenschappers de filosoof op plagiaat?
Het nieuwe boek “Megalith: Studies in Stone” beweert dat de geometrische principes van Pythagoras terug te vinden zijn in het mysterieuze Stonehenge. De wereldberoemde stenen cirkel werd 5000 jaar geleden gebouwd en staat bekend om zijn speciale positie ten opzichte van de zon. Elk jaar trekken duizenden toeristen naar de site om het eeuwenoude mysterie te bewonderen.
a² + b² = c²
Een van de auteurs van het boek, Robin Heath, beweert dat een grote driehoek van Pythagoras te zien is op de Engelse site in Wales, waarvan de bluestones zijn afgesneden. Een rechthoek van vier zandstenen vormt volgens het boek een perfecte driehoek van Pythagoras wanneer de zandstenen diagonaal in tweeën worden gedeeld.

Niet alleen de onderzoekers van Stonehenge, maar ook andere experts zeggen dat ze bewijs hebben gevonden dat de beroemde stelling al lang voor Pythagoras bestond. Vorig jaar nog onthulden wetenschappers de geheimen van een mysterieuze 3.700 jaar oude Babylonische kleitablet, waarop de oudste goniometrische tabel te lezen staat. De Griekse filosoof leefde pas in 6de en 5de eeuw voor Christus en kan dus niets met die tabel of Stonehenge te maken hebben.
Zonsopgang
Duizenden nieuwsgierigen keken donderdag naar de zon op Stonehenge. De zon kwam op achter de Heel Stone. Die steen markeert de plaat voor zonsopgang aan de horizon. De toeschouwers stonden versteld van het fenomeen en verspreidden foto’s op sociale media, terwijl de stralen door het monument stroomden. Die stralen kondigden de langste dag van het jaar aan op het noordelijk halfrond.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEET Astronomen hebben met de Europese VLT-telescoop en de Amerikaans-Europese Hubble Ruimtetelescoop (nog eens) vastgesteld dat de algemene relativiteitstheorie van Albert Einstein klopt, zo heeft de Europese Zuidelijke Sterrenwacht ESO meegedeeld. Het was de meest precieze test ooit van de theorie, buiten de Melkweg.
Met het MUSE-instrument van de VLT in Chili heeft een team onder leiding van Thomas Collett van de Universiteit van Portsmouth eerst de massa van het nabije sterrenstelsel ESO 325-G004 berekend door de bewegingen van sterren in dit relatief nabije elliptische sterrenstelsel te meten.
De wetenschappers namen met de Hubble ook een Einsteinring waar die is ontstaan doordat ESO 325-G004 het licht van een ver verwijderd sterrenstelsel vervormt. Aan de hand van deze waarnemingen konden de astronomen meten hoe de enorme massa van ESO 325-G004 licht, en daarmee dus ook de ruimtetijd, afbuigt.
Einsteins algemene relativiteitstheorie voorspelt dat objecten de hen omringende ruimtetijd vervormen, waardoor passerend licht wordt afgebogen. Dit resulteert in een verschijnsel dat het zwaartekrachtlenseffect wordt genoemd. Dit effect valt alleen op bij objecten die heel veel massa hebben. Inmiddels zijn een paar honderd van die sterke zwaartekrachtlenzen bekend, maar de meeste zijn te ver weg om hun massa exact te kunnen meten. Met een afstand van ‘slechts’ 450 miljoen lichtjaar is het sterrenstelsel ESO 325-G004 een van de meest nabije gravitationele lenzen.
De onzekerheid van de test bedraagt ‘slechts’ 9 procent. Daarmee is dit de meest precieze test van de algemene relativiteitstheorie buiten de Melkweg tot nu toe, zegt Collett.
Belangrijke gevolgen
Deze bevindingen kunnen belangrijke gevolgen hebben voor alternatieve zwaartekrachtmodellen, benadrukt de ESO ook. Deze alternatieve theorieën voorspellen dat de effecten van de zwaartekracht op de kromming van ruimtetijd ‘schaalafhankelijk’ zijn. Dit betekent dat de zwaartekracht zich op extragalactische lengteschalen anders zou moeten gedragen dan op de kleinere schaal van het zonnestelsel. Collett en zijn team hebben vastgesteld dat dit waarschijnlijk niet het geval is tenzij de verschillen alleen optreden op lengteschalen van meer dan 6000 lichtjaar.

Piloot ziet vreemde UFO boven New York. Zie hier hoe de luchtverkeersleiding erop reageerde
Piloot ziet vreemde UFO boven New York. Zie hier hoe de luchtverkeersleiding erop reageerde
Er is een geluidsopname opgedoken van een verbijsterde piloot die bij de luchtverkeersleiding een UFO meldt boven Long Island in New York.
De piloot vloog op 26 mei jongstleden op zo’n twee kilometer hoogte boven de plaats Huntington in New York.
Hij maakte zich klaar om te landen op JFK International Airport toen hij plotseling iets vreemds zag en besloot de luchtverkeersleiding in te lichten.
Te groot
“Ik zie voor me een object,” zegt de piloot. “En ik weet niet wat het is.”
De luchtverkeersleiding antwoordt: “Is het een drone of iets dergelijks?” De piloot laat weten dat het object te groot is voor een drone.
Het wordt allemaal nog vreemder als de luchtverkeersleiding aangeeft de UFO niet op de radar te zien.
De piloot vraagt toestemming om een bocht naar links te maken omdat hij anders recht op het object af zou vliegen.
Lichten
Kort daarna zegt hij dat het object achter een wolk lijkt te zijn verdwenen. “Er was zeker iets te zien,” zegt hij.
De enigszins verbouwereerde luchtverkeersleider besluit: “We moeten aannemen dat het een drone is geweest. Ik weet niet of dat een veilige veronderstelling is, maar daar gaan we van uit.”
De piloot is het daar niet mee eens en legt uit dat het leek alsof het object lichten had. “Dat is erg interessant,” klinkt het. “Ik weet niet wat ik moet zeggen.”
“Ik heb geen waanvoorstellingen,” benadrukt de piloot.
Nul op het rekest
De luchtverkeersleider laat de piloot vervolgens weten dat ‘één van de managers’ hem wil spreken over zijn waarneming en ‘zijn telefoontje verwacht’.
Er is verder vrijwel niets bekend over het voorval. De Amerikaanse luchtvaartautoriteit FAA heeft bevestigd dat een piloot die dag een object heeft gezien, maar bood verder geen details.
Website The Drive probeerde het rapport van de piloot op te vragen, maar kreeg nul op het rekest.
Matthew Williams captured the stunning formation, near Amesbury, Wiltshire, about a mile next to the world heritage site.

The 180ft formation contains five spokes and five off-set petal-like shapes, as well as Aztec-style patterns.
The 47-year-old crop circle expert reckons it might have been created to symbolise the passage of time.
Matthew, of Avebury, said: "I think it's quite timely that it appeared in the area right before the Solstice.
Speculators have been left wondering what the meaning behind the crop formation might be, especially because it has appeared near Summer Solstice(Image: Matthew Williams/SWNS)
"To me, it kind of looks like a combination lock - but the flowers obviously represent the passage of time and the changing of the seasons.
"It's very unusual to see offset shapes in these geometric designs, so that's why I think this is a special formation.
"Plus, it's right next to an ancient barrow - so it just adds to the history of the area."
