Mysterious Flashing Object Caught In The Sky Over New Jersey
Mysterious Flashing Object Caught In The Sky Over New Jersey
On July 5, 2018 the witness recorded unknown flashing lights in the sky over New Jersey.
According the witness the flashing lights are not the typical light in the sky, this one's much stranger.
The mysterious flashes are probably not fireworks otherwise the witness would certainly have mentioned it but a rare aerial phenomenon or eventually unknown object or portal in the sky over New Jersey none the less.
A spooky UFO with pulsating lights crash landed and exploded just 80 miles from the Russian city hosting England's World Cup quarter final clash with Sweden.
Two glowing balls were seen lighting up the midnight sky over the west of the ex-Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.
The eerie UFO crashed near the village of Bostandyk some 1,000ft from the Zhalpakatal-Karasu highway, say police.
The object “exploded” on landing - causing local houses to “tremble” and igniting a blaze on the parched steppe destroying bushes and grass covering 100 hectares.

Immediately, mobile communications in the remote area were cut, say frightened locals.
Residents rushed to the scene and amid the flames found a silver-coloured object partially buried in the ground.
It has a sealed hatch with a protruding valve. Locals evidently tried to open the hatch without success.
The crash landing ignited a blaze on the parched steppe

A smaller but similar object was nearby.
One witness said: “The UFO material does not look like metal. It is soft like fabric.”
A law enforcement source said the weird object that fell from the sky was like “a ball that had been welded shut”.
The edges of the UFO had melted possible oil entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
The UFO is described as ball-shaped and 10ft in diameter
(Image: east2west news)
Residents of Karasu village saw the object spinning in the sky with bright lights pulsating before it crash landed.
Local woman Assel Mukhambetkaliyeva explained: “This glowing sphere seemed to be spinning around and turning over our village.
“Then it fell down somewhere behind the village and exploded. There was a loud rumble. The house trembled.
“A large flame and smoke appeared over the place of the fall. We ran out of the house in fright. It's good that no one was hurt.”
Locals crowded to the scene to inspect the alien object

The UFO is described as ball-shaped and 10ft in diameter.
A second spherical object - smaller in size - was found nearby, according to witnesses.
It took firefighters four hours to put out the flames on the burning steppe.
Locals have crowded to the scene to inspect the alien object.
One theory is that it was a satellite or spacecraft that crashed to earth in spectacular fashion.
However, there was no announcement about Russian space launches coinciding with the UFO’s appearance.
There was no immediate official comment from the Kazakh authorities nor from space officials in neighbouring Russia.
The first call to police was at 12.07 am local time on Thursday.
News about the curious UFO has only just emerged from this remote area of Kazakhstan.
Humanity is facing now the dawn of a new technological era involving quantum mechanics in almost all aspects of social life, from computation to communication. It might be natural to ask if we shouldn’t consider search for quantum messages from extraterrestrial intelligence.
China has launched the first quantum communication satellite last year bringing the humanity on the verge of a huge jump in communication technology. Considering light as the carrier of the quantum information, the Chinese satellite is primarily designed to test the robustness of quantum entanglement, a bizarre property of quantum systems responsible for quantum computation and quantum communication. Furthermore, this first quantum satellite will probe not only high security data encryption but also a new way of data transfer as quantum information encoded in properties of the light particles, photons.
The quantum communication revolution may prove importance in transferring data at far distances and so, in communicating with our peer intelligence life in the universe.
Is quantum communication through light the answer to our long search for the Extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) signals?
Quantum information processing in Nature
As weird as may sound considering our actual technology of exploring the physical reality, quantum communication might be the primarily way of information transfer in the universe, as a recent article suggests [1] . According to the article, light travelling in the deformed spacetime close to the spinning black holes is constrained to encode and process quantum information pretty much like the information is manipulated in our actual laboratory quantum computers.
Following the curved and twisted lines of the distorted spacetime photons encode quantum bits of information in defined sequences that could make one to think of computer program lines of a code. When eventually escape the black hole influence, photons in the light beams are endowed with simple quantum codes that we may interpret and asses the information they contain.
Since quantum computation and quantum communication seem natural phenomenon occurring in the universe, it might look genuine to consider quantum communication with light as the proper way advanced civilization exchange information.
Will We Ever Find and Understand Extraterrestrial Messages ?
Searching for extraterrestrial quantum messages
We already have the technological capabilities to detect and measure quantum information encoded in light. Accordingly, many university laboratories and private companies around the world are testing quantum technology in all aspects of their applicability, from encoding quantum algorithms in photons, to transferring quantum bits at significant distances and to storing quantum information.
The technological equipment researchers are using now in labs may well serve to analyze the light captured by telescopes from outer space and measure the quantum information stored in every photon. Moreover, pointing the telescope in the right direction in space, considering all the earth-like exoplanets [2] lately discovered by NASA, our chances to detect quantum signals increase.
Initially, we may only detect and measure elementary quantum states exhibiting a certain extent of quantum entanglement or even maximally entangled Bell states. This is a clear sign that we are not alone.
Although, we may detect and decode fragments of quantum information stored in the astronomical light, to properly identify the encoded message we need some special tools.
Quantum computation
Detection the quantum information encoded in light might be the premise to quantum communicating with ETI, but still it not resolves the problem of interpreting the content of the message. The required instrument that hypothetically may arrange the detected quantum states in the right sequence to decipher the quantum message is the quantum computer. Harnessing the computation tremendous power of quantum computers quantum states of photons may be put together in the right order to form the intelligible output.
The efforts to create a functional quantum computer are now in the final stage of moving the final product out of laboratory and implement it on the industrial level. In the not so distant future quantum computation will be part of our daily routine.
Still, the fact that we will not be able to properly interpret the quantum message we may detect from outer space intelligent life should not affect our quantum search for ETI; even the SETI program if will one day detect an extraterrestrial signal, most probably won’t be able to immediately decrypt its content.
Instant alert
Another key ingredient in the attempt to quantum communicate with other intelligent forms of life in the universe is a mean to decrypt quantum messages. We should need a quantum key. The quantum key ensures the security of the communication and endow the receiver with the necessary tool to properly asses the content of the message. In the absence of the quantum key we may not be able to properly decipher a hypothetical quantum message ETI may communicate.
Although the quantum key is missing, we should emphasize here a remarkable property of quantum entanglement. Thus, the measurement of the quantum state of one photon of an entangled pair instantly decays the state of the other. Roughly speaking, when we will first detect and measure the quantum information encoded in photons by ETI, the sender of the message will intently be avert. Our first quantum measurement acts like an “alert button”, instantly alerting the sender ETI that another technological superior civilization in the universe is raising.
In conclusion, all we have to do is to measure the quantum information stored in one tiny photon to connect ourselves to the “universal quantum internet”.
The past month has seen several fairly major developments with regards to the discovery of organic molecules at different locations in the solar system. First NASA announced the discovery of variations in methane concentrations on Mars, followed by the discovery of organic molecules in Martian mudstone. More recently it was revealed that the Cassini probe had observed even more massive organic molecules on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. But if organic can have abiotic origins, what is it about these recent discoveries that point to the possibility of life elsewhere in the Solar-system?
The news of the observations listed above and in more detail below has generally been met with one of two reactions. Some are excited about the revelations and believe that they indicate that we may finally be on the trail of evidence that life has or does exist elsewhere in our solar system with implications for the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Sceptics correctly point out, however, that the phrase ‘organic molecules’ simply refers to molecules comprised of rings or chains of carbon with other common elements such as oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. As such, these molecules can’t be too closely associated with life. Organic molecules, they point out, can be created by mechanisms that don’t involve life and it’s wrong to see ‘organic molecule’ and immediately assume biology. They also point out that methane has been discovered on Mars before and that this discovery didn’t immediately lead to speculation of life.
So who is right here?
The answer is a little from column A, a little from column B.
Consider complexity
Whilst the recent discoveries resemble similar finds in the past and there remains a possibility that these molecules arose through processes other than life, what makes these discoveries so significant is the circumstances that surround them, the situations that we have found these carbon-rich molecules in and the patterns in those observations.
When it comes to the discovery of life elsewhere in the solar system, the devil is in the details, or perhaps more accurately in the complexity.
Lee Cronin, a chemist at the University of Glasgow indicates why astrobiologists look for complex organic molecules as potential signs of extraterrestrial life by pointing out that the more complex the more likely these molecules are a sign of biological processes. “Biology has one signature: the ability to produce complex things that could not arise in the natural environment,” Cronin suggests the use of a system to count the number of unique steps such as chemical side groups or ring structures in the formation of a compound to indicate molecules which are biological in origin. He suggests that any structure requiring 15 or so unique steps would indicate a strong chance of biological origin.
Life on Mars?
The idea of life on Mars has been explored in various forms of media, not least lurid science fiction
Without a shadow of a doubt the most interest in extraterrestrial life concerns our neighbour Mars. This is perhaps to be expected as the idea of life having existed on Mars has been popularised by the media and fiction writers for decades. To the scientific community though, Mars represents perhaps the most logical first step in the search for life in the solar system for several reasons. In terms of proximity, it’s our easiest option for exploration and sample collection. In addition to this, there are some similarities between Mars and Earth that would favour the type of life that has thrived on Earth or would have at some point in our neighbour’s history.
the fact that Mars has a similar axial tilt to Earth means that it has similar changes in seasons
These similarities include a similar axial tilt leading to seasonal variability, similar atmospheric conditions, similar land surface area, the presence of polar ice caps and crucially the presence of surface water. Evidence also suggests that Mars may once have had a magnetosphere as Earth does now. This is crucial in the development of early life as it would have protected the surface from solar and cosmic radiation allowing early molecules to flourish and grow in complexity without the risk of being broken down or destroyed by harmful radiation.
Since landing on the surface of Mars in 2012, the Curiosity Rover has detected traces of atmospheric methane, albeit in far scarer supply in the atmosphere of Mars than it is found in Earth’s atmosphere, 0.4 parts per billion (ppb) in comparison to 1800 ppb. On Earth, the majority of atmospheric methane is generated by microbial life but before ascribing the same cause to Mar’s methane one must consider that methane can be generated in other ways. Ways that don’t involve biology. Hydrothermal reactions with olivine-rich rocks underground can generate it, as can reactions that are driven by ultraviolet (UV) light striking the carbon-containing meteoroids and dust that constantly rain down on the planet from space.

What is interesting about Mars’ atmospheric methane isn’t its presence alone though. Rather, it’s the fact that Mars seems to have an excess of methane and also displays seasonal variation in its atmospheric methane concentration. This variation is approximately three times higher than can currently be explained by known events such as the thinning of the atmosphere caused by the freezing of carbon dioxide at the planet’s southern polar cap. Even though we’ve been aware of methane in Mars’ atmosphere since at least 2004 thanks to Earth-based remote sensing and telescopes, this seasonal variation and some variations in time and location weren’t seen until we were able to make in-situ observations.
One of two pieces of recent research concerning organic molecules on Mars published in Science earlier this month concludes that the observed spikes in methane concentration are consistent with it being released from small localized sources on the surface or subsurface reservoirs. The seasonal variation indicates a process by which methane is held at the surface and released at times of higher temperature. This could indicate methane is stored at or just under the planet’s surface and is released in greater volume when heat causes cracks and fissures in the surface layer to expand.
This would seem to indicate that Mars possesses methane-rich sedimentary rock, much like Earth. The question remains how did this methane become trapped in sedimentary rock in the first place?

A second study also published in Science this month indicates that the storage and preservation of methane and other organic molecules geologically is key to understanding the possibility of ancient life having once existed on Mars. To analyse this, researchers collected samples of mudstone from various sites on the planet’s surface including a dried out lake bed. These samples were baked in Curiosity’s onboard oven, breaking down to release aromatic, aliphatic and thiophenic vapours. These substances could well be the breakdown products of even larger organic molecules.
Aromatic molecules such as benzene are formed with one or more hexagonal carbon rings
They concluded that carbon-rich molecules such as benzenes are widespread in the Martian rock record and there could well be an abundance of such materials further beneath the planet’s surface protected from solar radiation.
Of course, this doesn’t tell us that biological processes are definitely responsible for depositing organic molecules in the geological record of Mars. But it’s encouraging because it does tell us that at some point some process that we are currently unaware of is responsible for these overabundances in carbon-rich organic molecules. We can couple this with the knowledge that in our own planet’s geological record the presence of an excess of organic molecules is a result of biological processes.
Again, a little from column A, a little from column B.
Tantalising signs of life from Saturn’s moon Enceladus?
Perhaps even more significant than the traces of organic molecules found on Mars are the traces of more massive organic compounds from Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Enceladus, a mere 500 km in diameter with a gravitational force 1% that of Earth’s, has long been an interest of astrobiologists due to its global ocean which lies between a surface ice sheet and a rocky core.
Enceladus’ composition makes it a primary candidate for simple life (NASA/Caltech)
The collection of samples from Enceladus is possible via a fly-by from the Cassini probe due to the fact that ice-grains and gas are ejected from the moon to space in cryo-volcanic plumes at the moon’s southern pole. These plumes are likely the result of hydrothermal activity deep within the moon’s porous core. Cassini made several passes through these gas plumes collecting samples to examine.
An artist’s impression of Cassini’s Enceladus flyby
Research published in Nature this month discussed the discovery of molecules of 200 atomic masses and above on Saturn’s moon. To put that into context, molecules 10 times more massive than methane. The finding suggests a thin-film of organic macromolecules on the top of Enceladus’ water table. The sheer size of these molecules has taken researchers by surprise and when coupled with some of Enceladus’ other characteristics, a salty-liquid water ocean, hydrothermal vents and sub-surface geysers, it makes Enceladus a tantalising prospect for extraterrestrial life. The molecules found aren’t amino acids, but they aren’t far away from that size and complexity.
Unfortunately, as Cassini, the probe which collected these samples has now crashed meaning that the collection of further samples may have to wait for now.
Increasingly scientists are coming around to the idea that Enceladus should now be made our primary focus in the search for life in the solar system overtaking previous best candidate, Jovian moon Europa. Carolyn Porco, a prominent planetary scientist who has worked on several key NASA missions, is a strong supporter of Enceladus becoming a primary focus of research. “We simply know more about Enceladus,” Porco stated at the National Geographic Awards in June. “We just don’t know that much about Europa with certainty,” Porco said. “There is a lot of excitement, but it’s speculation at this point. Of course, I’d choose Enceladus. We know it’s the best, and it stands the greatest chance of making that next big step.”
Again, it must be noted that there are possible abiotic pathways to the creation of these molecules, but what remains striking here is that some of the detected organic compounds bare a strong resemblance to compounds found on Earth as a result of the decomposition of biological life.
A little from column A… you get the point.
Don’t call this evidence of life… yet
You’ll notice that articles discussing these findings generally tend to avoid the word ‘evidence’. That’s simply because that as the sceptics point out, at this stage, we simply can’t conclude that detected organic molecules are a result of biological activity. But what we should also consider that the more data points like those we’ve described above that are collected the more likely we are to find something extraordinary. Something else like the extremely massive compounds or seasonal variations in concentration detailed above. Maybe something more significant. It is these outliers in the normal data that make scientists sit up and pay attention.
Other options for the discovery of life elsewhere in the solar-system also exist. As mentioned above, Europa is believed to be a primary candidate due to the fact it hosts the largest ocean in the solar system that we are aware of. In addition to this, another Jovian moon Ganymede is believed to possess a subsurface ocean similar to Enceladus. Saturn’s moon Titan has a subsurface ocean and surface hydrocarbon liquids which could increase the probability of life.
A cross-section of Europa’s surface shown its subsurface salty water ocean
This is coupled with further research recently published that reveals complex organic molecules, the necessary building blocks for life, are far more abundant in the Universe than previously suspected.
Though clearly caution is of the utmost importance when considering the discovery of complex organic molecules and that discovery’s possible significance with regards to the possibility of biological systems, the future does seem promising. These recent discoveries though, suggest we may well be on the verge of discovering extraterrestrial life in our solar system, whether extant or extinct.
This Discovery Shows Life Might Have Come From Space
Who Or How Were Earth’s Ancient Structures Built? Ancient Aliens or Forgotten Technology? … Or Both?
Who Or How Were Earth’s Ancient Structures Built? Ancient Aliens or Forgotten Technology? … Or Both?
Exactly how were the great pyramids in Egypt and Mexico built?
How were the famous Inca & Mayan stones squashed into each other?
How was the great stones of Stonehenge placed high on top of each other
These questions and many more have fascinated people for centuries. Not only are they structures which were built during periods where technology was supposed to be very basic but the more we learn about them the more they baffle us.
For example, the Sphinx and the Pyramids in Egypt are thought to be older than what we are being told. Geologists say that weathering patterns on the Sphinx show rain damage which puts the building date of the Sphinx well past the date of the Egyptians we are lead to believe were responsible for building it.
The pyramids themselves hold many mysteries, much of it appears as scientific code. The layout of the pyramids in Giza are an exact copy of the stars in the Orion’s Belt constellation. Spread out over miles of Egypt’s land the smaller pyramids also line up with the stars of the same constellation. Is Egypt a star map of where our ancestors came from,
More interesting is the coordinates of the pyramids at Giza in Egypt . Their coordinates are 29.9792458 degrees North and what is the speed of light in a vacuum? 299.792,458 metres per second. Coincidence or planned as a message to modern man?
However it should be mentioned that modern latitude is set so that the prime meridian goes through Greenwich England which did not exist at the time the pyramids were built so whatever system they would have used would not have been this one… unless… they were time travellers and knew what system would be in place several thousand years later. Now that would blow the socks of modern man if that were true!
The pyramids are also mentioned on an ancient Sumerian tablet. The Sumerians were in Egypt thousands of years before the ancient Egyptians who are believed to be responsible for building them. This ages them thousands of years more than what is publicly believed.
The Great pyramid hasn’t dropped more than a feet yet the weight of the structure is immense. Modern skyscrapers are designed to drop more once built. The blocks of stone that the pyramids are made from are huge and weigh so much that even modern cranes would struggle to move them. As far as we know there were no modern cranes around.
So how were they built? How were the big stones of Stonehenge lifted? Were there aliens involved in the construction? Was alien technology used? Was there an Atlantis type super race of ancient humans building these structures or did basic man know more about physics than we believe.
The Mayans, Egyptians and Incas are all supposed to have cosmology knowledge and understanding which far surpassed that of which we believe they should have so did they have a better understanding of quantum physics and the little known vibrational physics than we first thought?
The reason I say vibrational physics is that there is a story of a Swedish dr who went to Tibet in 1939 to visit the Dalai Lama. It is said that while he was there the monks were building a high wall using heavy stones. The story goes that he observed the monks lifting up the heavy stones by levitating them using sound.
The monks set up drums and horns in an arc shape a certain distance away from the stones and then began to make sounds which lifted up the heavy stones and they were then pushed into place. Meditation and Eastern philosophies put a lot of emphasis on sound. Especially the Ohm sound which is the Universal vibration rate sound.
Did our forefathers know something that we are just beginning to understand? Was this kept a secret from us?
The Swedish doctor apparently recorded this on film but the film was confiscated from him by British authorities and never seen again. Funny that?
We know about the law of attraction, things which vibrate with the same or similar frequency are drawn to each other like magnets. We have seen what some metals do when they are near magnets but everything has a vibration and a specific rate so that means that everything can be lifted up like a magnet if you hit the right frequency.
Acoustic Levitation in Egypt – Ancient High Technology
Alien abductees talk about being lifted up out of houses. Do aliens know something about acoustic levitation or vibrational physics? Did they give that knowledge to us years ago and has been kept secret by those in the know or did ancient man know about it but it somehow got forgotten about? Maybe it was lost when modern style governments were formed and knew that there would be no profit or tax in construction if everyone had access to this knowledge.
If you are not sure whether you have been abducted by aliens then use this checklist here to find out:
Another puzzling ancient mystery is the stone walls in south and central America. They have been cut and shaped to fit so tight and snug that even to this day people cannot slide pieces of paper between them.
They are also oddly shaped which is interesting. What people do not know is that how they were carved and made. There have been stories and theories that say that the Ancient Mayan and Incan builders were able to soften the stones and mold them into position.
Megalithic Softening of Stone Part 1
A very old story spoke about how an explorer discovered that a mixture made from plants which were found in central America would somehow soften the stone which was then pushed and molded into shape. How true this is no one knows.
What is interesting is that there are very little scratch and tooling marks to see. We do have thousands of years of weathering so the smallest marks might have been eroded but the stone work across central and south America is pretty impressive.
Maybe the stone was an ancient version of concrete and were molded and fashioned into shapes. This is another theory being put forward today.
What do you think? Were our ancestors smarter than we give them credit for using technology we no longer use or were these impressive structures built by or with the help of Ancient Aliens?

Clearest Photo And Video Ever Of An Unexplained Aerial Object
Clearest Photo And Video Ever Of An Unexplained Aerial Object
Generally, photos taken of UFOs or unidentified aerial objects are blurred with the object being difficult to make out. This time a photograph has been taken that is one of the clearest seen but is it proof of a UAO?
Strange Object Was Filmed by Man Over 45 Minutes
The photograph in question was sent to MUFON dating back to 2014 taken in San Diego, California by a man who was pulling into his driveway. The information that was posted with the photograph says the man watched the object for around 45 minutes.
According to MUFON, the man saw a bright orb hovering over the home of a neighbor as he was going into his driveway. He said the sunset was reflecting on the orb that was why he noticed it.
The man then went into his backyard to get a better look at the mysterious orb; it was around a mile away from his home. He set up a tripod with a camera to take photos and video, continuing to do so for about 20 minutes. Sometimes the strange object would go behind a tree but then come back into view. It was stable in the sky but drifted slowly in a southwest direction. Eventually, it became too dark to see the orb.
No Tethers or Rotors on the Object
When the man posted the footage and images online, he received many comments. Many people thought it was a drone or balloon or some kind, just a terrestrial object. However, the man pointed out that there were no tethers on the object or rotors to suggest it was a drone. The object drifted away slowly according to the person who captured the footage, but there is no evidence that supports this in the footage.
What was strange about the footage is the fact that at first, it seems to just sit in the sky, but then it begins to bob about in the sky. It is also difficult to determine the size of the object as there is nothing to compare it against.
Is The Object Terrestrial or A Unidentified Aerial Object?
What the object is remains unknown, it may have been a terrestrial object such as a balloon or a drone, or it may have been something more alien. However, many people believe the person taking the footage fakes it. One person suggested it was a model of Sputnik that had been used; another said it looked like the person had made a ball from Styrofoam, then put sewing pins in it along with drawing on it using a black marker pen.
Another person went into a lot more detail when they commented. They pointed out the images were said to have been taken using a Nikon D80 10.2 Mega Pixel digital camera but the image did not reflect that. They said the image had grain on it that comes from a chemical film. They also mentioned vertical discolorations, saying they thought it had been printed out with a color laser and then re-scanned to reduce the color range. This would also do away with fine details in the photo, possibly getting rid of the tether of a balloon.
The same person pointed out the light along with dark areas were not consistent. While the “out of round” on the object did suggest to them, it might be a balloon that was tethered. The person finally concluded it was a fake thanks to the lighting inconsistency along with the image having been manipulated.
This image is from U.S. military footage of the Tic Tac.
Are we alone? Unfortunately, neither of the answers feel satisfactory. To be alone in this vast universe is a lonely prospect. On the other hand, if we are not alone and there is someone or something more powerful out there, that too is terrifying.
As a NASA research scientist and now a professor of physics, I attended the 2002 NASA Contact Conference, which focused on serious speculation about extraterrestrials. During the meeting a concerned participant said loudly in a sinister tone, "You have absolutely no idea what is out there!" The silence was palpable as the truth of this statement sunk in. Humans are fearful of extraterrestrials visiting Earth. Perhaps fortunately, the distances between the stars are prohibitively vast. At least this is what we novices, who are just learning to travel into space, tell ourselves.
I have always been interested in UFOs. Of course, there was the excitement that there could be aliens and other living worlds. But more exciting to me was the possibility that interstellar travel was technologically achievable. In 1988, during my second week of graduate school at Montana State University, several students and I were discussing a recent cattle mutilation that was associated with UFOs. A physics professor joined the conversation and told us that he had colleagues working at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana, where they were having problems with UFOs shutting down nuclear missiles. At the time I thought this professor was talking nonsense. But 20 years later, I was stunned to see a recording of a press conferencefeaturing several former US Air Force personnel, with a couple from Malmstrom AFB, describing similar occurrences in the 1960s. Clearly there must be something to this.
With July 2 being World UFO Day, it is a good time for society to address the unsettling and refreshing fact we may not be alone. I believe we need to face the possibility that some of the strange flying objects that outperform the best aircraft in our inventory and defy explanation may indeed be visitors from afar - and there's plenty of evidence to support UFO sightings.
De Fermiparadox - Waar Zijn Alle Aliens? (1/2)
The Fermi Paradox II — Solutions and Ideas – Where Are All The Aliens?
The Fermi paradox
The nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi was famous for posing thought provoking questions. In 1950, at Los Alamos National Laboratory after discussing UFOs over lunch, Fermi asked, "Where is everybody?" He estimated there were about 300 billion stars in the galaxy, many of them billions of years older than the sun, with a large percentage of them likely to host habitable planets. Even if intelligent life developed on a very small percentage of these planets, then there should be a number of intelligent civilizations in the galaxy. Depending on the assumptions, one should expect anywhere from tens to tens of thousands of civilizations.
With the rocket-based technologies that we have developed for space travel, it would take between 5 and 50 million years for a civilization like ours to colonize our Milky Way galaxy. Since this should have happened several times already in the history of our galaxy, one should wonder where is the evidence of these civilizations? This discrepancy between the expectation that there should be evidence of alien civilizations or visitations and the presumption that no visitations have been observed has been dubbed the Fermi Paradox.
Carl Sagan correctly summarized the situation by saying that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." The problem is that there has been no single well-documented UFO encounter that would alone qualify as the smoking gun. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that many governments around the world have covered upand classifiedinformation aboutsuch encounters. But there are enough scraps of evidence that suggest that the problem needs to be open to scientific study.
UFOs, taboo for professional scientists
When it comes to science, the scientific method requires hypotheses to be testable so that inferences can be verified. UFO encounters are neither controllable nor repeatable, which makes their study extremely challenging. But the real problem, in my view, is that the UFO topic is taboo.
While the general public has been fascinated with UFOs for decades, our governments, scientists and media, have essentially declared that of all the UFO sightings are a result of weather phenomenon or human actions. None are actually extraterrestrial spacecraft. And no aliens have visited Earth. Essentially, we are told that the topic is nonsense. UFOs are off-limits to serious scientific study and rational discussion, which unfortunately leaves the topic in the domain of fringe and pseudoscientists, many of whom litter the field with conspiracy theories and wild speculation.
I think UFO skepticism has become something of a religion with an agenda, discounting the possibility of extraterrestrials without scientific evidence, while often providing silly hypotheses describing only one or two aspects of a UFO encounter reinforcing the popular belief that there is a conspiracy. A scientist must consider all of the possible hypotheses that explain all of the data, and since little is known, the extraterrestrial hypothesis cannot yet be ruled out. In the end, the skeptics often do science a disservice by providing a poor example of how science is to be conducted. The fact is that many of these encounters - still a very small percentage of the total - defy conventional explanation.
The media amplifies the skepticism by publishing information about UFOs when it is exciting, but always with a mocking or whimsical tone and reassuring the public that it can't possibly be true. But there are credible witnesses and encounters.
Why don't astronomers see UFOs?
I am often asked by friends and colleagues, "Why don't astronomers see UFOs?" The fact is that they do. In 1977, Peter Sturrock, a professor of space science and astrophysics at Stanford University, mailed 2,611 questionnaires about UFO sightings to members of the American Astronomical Society. He received 1,356 responses from which 62 astronomers - 4.6 percent - reported witnessing or recording inexplicable aerial phenomena. This rate is similar to the approximately 5 percent of UFO sightings that are never explained.
As expected, Sturrock found that astronomers who witnessed UFOs were more likely to be night sky observers. Over 80 percent of Sturrock's respondents were willing to study the UFO phenomenon if there was a way to do so. More than half of them felt that the topic deserves to be studied versus 20 percent who felt that it should not. The survey also revealed that younger scientists were more likely to support the study of UFOs.
UFOs have been observed through telescopes. I know of one telescope sighting by an experienced amateur astronomer in which he observed an object shaped like a guitar pick moving through the telescope's field of view. Further sightings are documented in the book "Wonders in the Sky," in which the authors compile numerous observations of unexplained aerial phenomena made by astronomers and published in scientific journals throughout the 1700s and 1800s.
Evidence from government and military officers
Some of the most convincing observations have come from government officials. In 1997, the Chilean government formed the organization Comité de Estudios de Fenómenos Aéreos Anómalos, or CEFAA, to study UFOs. Last year, CEFAA released footageof a UFO taken with a helicopter-mounted Wescam infrared camera.
The countries of Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Ecuador, France, New Zealand, Russia, Sweden and the United Kingdom have been declassifying their UFO files since 2008. The French Committee for In-Depth Studies, or COMETA, was an unofficial UFO study group comprised of high-ranking scientists and military officials that studied UFOs in the late 1990s. They released the COMETA Report, which summarized their findings. They concluded that 5 percent of the encounters were reliable yet inexplicable: The best hypothesis available was that the observed craft were extraterrestrial. They also accused the United States of covering up evidence of UFOs. Iran has been concerned about spherical UFOs observed near nuclear power facilities that they call "CIA drones" which reportedly are about 30 feet in diameter, can achieve speeds up to Mach 10, and can leave the atmosphere. Such speeds are on par with the fastest experimental aircraft, but unthinkable for a sphere without lift surfaces or an obvious propulsion mechanism.
In December 2017, The New York Times broke a story about the classified Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, which was a $22 million program run by the former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo and aimed at studying UFOs. Elizondo resigned from running the program protesting extreme secrecy and the lack of funding and support. Following his resignation Elizondo, along with several others from the defense and intelligence community, were recruited by the To the Stars Academy of Arts & Science, which was recently founded by Tom DeLonge to study UFOs and interstellar travel. In conjunction with the launch of the academy, the Pentagon declassified and released three videos of UFO encounters taken with forward looking infrared cameras mounted on F-18 fighter jets. While there is much excitement about such disclosures, I am reminded of a quote from Retired Army Colonel John Alexander: "Disclosure has happened. ... I've got stacks of generals, including Soviet generals, who've come out and said UFOs are real. My point is, how many times do senior officials need to come forward and say that this is real?"
A topic worthy of serious study
There is a great deal of evidence that a small percentage of these UFO sightings are unidentified structured craft exhibiting flight capabilities beyond any known human technology. While there is no single case for which there exists evidence that would stand up to scientific rigor, there are cases with simultaneous observations by multiple reliable witnesses, along with radar returns and photographic evidence revealing patterns of activity that are compelling.
Declassified information from covert studies is interesting, but not scientifically helpful.This is a topic worthy of open scientific inquiry, until there is a scientific consensus based on evidence rather than prior expectation or belief. If there are indeed extraterrestrial craft visiting Earth, it would greatly benefit us to know about them, their nature and their intent. Moreover, this would present a great opportunity for mankind, promising to expand and advance our knowledge and technology, as well as reshaping our understanding of our place in the universe.
“And the second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it turned to blood like that of the dead, and every living thing in the sea died. Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they turned to blood.”
Here we go again. Every time something red falls from the sky, this passage from the Book of Revelations gets pulled out and talk turns to apocalypse. It’s never been a good sign – Zeus made it rain blood before a battle in Homer’s Iliad. A blood rain reportedly preceded the Black Plague in Germany. Even Charles Fort in The Book of the Damned wondered if blood rain was a sign …
Mysterious Blood Rain Falls in Siberia
| Mysterious Universe
“… that our whole solar system is a living thing: that showers of blood upon this earth are its internal hemorrhages.”
While colored rain is not all that uncommon and can often be explained by human inventions or interventions, it sometimes occurs in locations that makes one wonder if there might be something more going. That’s the case in Norilsk, Siberia, where a recent mysterious red rain is being blamed on many unnatural things while its “official” cause and official admonitions that it’s “nothing to worry about” are being questioned.

This is somehow going to be turned around and blamed on Trump. — Robert (@SlytherinRob) July 5, 2018
Nuclear fallout — Mike Walton (@MikeWaltonSR) July 5, 2018
Photographs and videos on various Russian media sites showed a parking lot in Norilsk covered in red water, cars dripping with thick red slime and people cautiously stepping in red goop. That fact that the only pictures were from this particular parking lot were one clue to the “official” solution given by the lot’s owner — the Nadezhdinsky processing plant owned by the city’s largest employer, the Russian industrial giant Nornickel. A spokesperson said that the plant had just removed a massive amount of iron oxide (rust … what color is that?) from the factory floor and had it stored outside when a pre-storm gust of wind blew it into the air and the subsequent rain came down red. Nothing to see here … move along … don’t touch it … the Control and Analytical Department is here to carry out analysis of the collected samples.
That might be enough to allay fears if the Doldykan River running alongside the plant wasn’t already red long before the storm. In the U.S., problems like this are blamed on the previous presidential administration. According to Nikolay Utkin, director of the Polar Division of Norilsk Nickel, speaking to the Siberian Times, here it’s a little different.
“The reason why the water in the Doldykan River got the reddish-brown colour is the active melting of snow, a powerful flood, which washes off the stuff that had been gathering here for decades. Unfortunately, during the Soviet era, the environmental issues were resolved on a residual basis.”
Red rain in Russia … it’s always the Soviets.
Well, not quite always. Norilsk is an unusual city. It’s a recent development (late 1920s), the world’s northernmost city with more than 100,000 inhabitants, the second-largest city inside the Arctic Circle and one of only two large cities in the continuous permafrost zone. It’s covered with snow up to 270 days a year, so anything falling from the sky that’s not white is strange. That sounds like the kind of remote location where the “Soviets” conducted nefarious activities. It is also home to the northernmost Muslim mosque in the world, whose congregation seems to get along just fine with its Russian Orthodox and Ukrainian Orthodox neighbors.
Is there something more to the “blood rain” of Norilsk than the local biggest employer or government officials want residents to believe? Is it time to start treating industrial pollution as an apocalypse? Now THAT would be revelation!

Aliens might consider collecting and storing stars to power their futuristic civilisations, according to a senior scientist.
Because of dark energy, our universe is expanding at an increasing rate. Over the next 100 billion or so years, that expansion will mean that any stars apart from those nearby will not only be impossible to see but also entirely unreachable.
Could Alien Civilizations Predict the Fate of Our Planet?
That means that it will be difficult to extract energy from them. That is probably going to be very difficult for any advanced civilisations that rely on those stars to harvest that energy.
Now Dan Hooper, a senior scientist with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, has written a paper exploring what those civilisations might do in response to that event.
He claims that civilisations could expand quickly outwards, build huge structures around those stars, and use the power generated to direct them back towards the civilisation.
Such megastructures have long been seen as a potential mark of advanced civilisations. Though it is very difficult to imagine what a future alien race might do, it is likely they will search out ways of harnessing renewable energy, such as building power plants around stars – those structures, known as Dyson spheres, have never been seen but are the object of keen astrophysical investigation.
But the new paper makes clear that could only work for so long, and would become impossible once the universe filled with dark energy and the stars were too far apart. That would force them to reach out, grabbing stars before they become inaccessible.
"Given the inevitability of the encroaching horizon, any sufficiently advanced civilization that is determined to maximize its ability to utilize energy will expand throughout the universe, attempting to secure as many stars as possible before they become permanently inaccessible," the paper reads.
To make sure they didn't get lost, the civilisations would be able to move the stars closer to their home – with the hope that they would eventually become stuck in their own orbit, and would not stray too far away to become useful.
Having worked out what such activity might look like, the paper then aims to look at how we might be able to see if that activity is happening already. If it were, we would be able to look for stars that seem to be moving in an unexpected way, or to spot holes in galaxies where a star might normally be expected

Aliens kunnen mogelijk hele sterren verplaatsen. Wetenschappers hopen er op deze manier achter te komen of dat al gebeurt
Aliens kunnen mogelijk hele sterren verplaatsen. Wetenschappers hopen er op deze manier achter te komen of dat al gebeurt
Aliens kunnen mogelijk sterren verzamelen en opslaan om het voortbestaan van hun beschaving te verzekeren. Dat heeft een wetenschapper gezegd.
Vanwege de uitdijing van het heelal komen sterren steeds verder van elkaar te staan. Daardoor wordt het moeilijker voor hoogontwikkelde beschavingen om er energie uit te halen.
Dan Hooper van het Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory heeft nu een paper geschreven over de manier waarop dergelijke beschavingen het hoofd zullen bieden aan dit probleem.
Energiecentrales
Hij beweert dat beschavingen enorme structuren om die sterren kunnen bouwen en de energie die hiermee wordt opgewekt kunnen gebruiken om ze weer dichter in de buurt van de beschaving te brengen.
Dergelijke megastructuren worden al lange tijd gezien als teken van hoogontwikkelde beschavingen.
Hoewel het moeilijk voor te stellen is wat een buitenaards ras zou doen, is het waarschijnlijk dat ze energiecentrales rond sterren zullen bouwen, aldus Hooper.
Dysonbollen
Die structuren, Dysonbollen genoemd, zijn nog niet ontdekt, maar er wordt wel veel onderzoek naar gedaan.
Elke voldoende geavanceerde beschaving […] zal zich uitbreiden in het universum in een poging zoveel mogelijk sterren veilig te stellen voordat ze onbereikbaar worden, schrijft Hooper.
Gaten
Om ervoor te zorgen ze binnen hun bereik blijven zouden de beschavingen ze dichter bij huis plaatsen, in de hoop dat ze uiteindelijk dichtbij zullen blijven.
Er is volgens Hooper een manier om erachter te komen of dit al gebeurt. We zouden namelijk kunnen zoeken naar sterren die zich vreemd lijken te gedragen of naar ‘gaten’ in sterrenstelsels waar je normaal gesproken een ster zou verwachten.
ATLANTIS FOUND? '8.5-mile pyramid' discovered at bottom of the ocean
ATLANTIS FOUND? '8.5-mile pyramid' discovered at bottom of the ocean
COULD this bizarre object, described as a giant ancient pyramid and found at the bottom of the sea, be a clue to the site of the mythological City of Atlantis?
The structure, estimated as being between 3.5 and 11 miles across, was spotted on Google Earth in the Pacific Ocean just west of Mexico.
A video about the discovery uploaded to YouTube has drawn vast speculation about what it could be, including an ancient sunken city, a bizarre UFO, or even an alien base.
The "discovery" was made by Argentinian Marcelo Igazusta.
He says in a video about the find it is an alien UFO left underwater.
The video commentary described it has being "an intense light in the Pacific Ocean" of 3.5 miles in length, with a shape similar to a plane.
Scott C Waring, an alien conspiracy theorist, said: "It is a perfect pyramid that measures over 8.5 miles across one side of its base. Thats a conservative estimate, it could be up to 11 miles across.”
He suggested it could symbolise an ancient civilisation, or even something alien.
GOOGLE
Conspiracy theorists claim it could be an undersea ancient pyramid or even connected to aliens.
Viewers of the video have said it could be the site of an ancient submerged city or even Atlantis.
Simon Clark posted that it should be investigated to see exactly what it is.
But another poster pointed out there was no evidence it was anything more than an undersea mountain.
He said: "I don't understand why you're calling this a UFO? It is unidentified, yes (though most likely just the mountains of the sea floor) but it's not flying, so not a UFO."
The fabled Atlantis is an Ancient Greek myth – the name means Island of Atlas – and was first mentioned by the philosopher Plato.
The Atlantis military attempt to storm Ancient Athens but despite overwhelming odds the Atheneans repel them.
The allegory is supposed to suggest that the power of the organised democratic state will beat the power of a tyrannical system – the basic theme of his later work The Republic.
Atlantis and its inhabitants incur the wrath of the gods for the attack and the whole lot is submerged by the ocean, giving rise to the myth.
14 kilometer grote piramide ontdekt op de zeebodem? Argentijn doet vreemde vondst
14 kilometer grote piramide ontdekt op de zeebodem? Argentijn doet vreemde vondst
De Argentijnse ufoloog Marcelo Irazusta zorgt voor consternatie. Op de bodem van de Grote Oceaan heeft hij iets vreemds ontdekt. Mogelijke verklaringen variëren van een gecrashte UFO tot de resten van een oude beschaving.
De Argentijnse onderzoeker, die zich specialiseert in buitenaardse levensvormen, heeft naar eigen zeggen op Google Earth een UFO gevonden voor de kust van Mexico.
Het object is 5,5 kilometer lang en lijkt qua vorm nog het meest op een vliegtuig.
Piramide
Andere ufologen zijn er niet zo zeker van dat hij op een UFO is gestuit. Scott Waring, die verschillende boeken over het onderwerp heeft geschreven, zei volgens de Britse Daily Express dat hij er een piramide in ziet.
“Het is een perfect gevormde piramide, die een doorsnee heeft van meer dan 14 kilometer,” zei hij.
Atlantis
Volgens hem gaat het om de grootst bekende piramide. Het bouwsel is zo indrukwekkend dat het moet zijn gemaakt door leven van een andere planeet, aldus Waring. “Enkel aliens zijn in staat om zoiets te bouwen.”
De Daily Express meldt dat het volgens sommigen gaat om de resten van het mythische eiland Atlantis, dat werd beschreven door de Griekse filosoof Plato. Anderen zeggen dat het bouwwerk is achtergelaten door de Maya’s of Azteken.
Perhaps they will not be millions as some say, but the cases of people who claim to have been abducted by aliens are now numerous all over the world and rising even in Italy as even Fanwave.it has already reported.
BARNEY AND BETTY HILL INCIDENT
Many cases have been classified as simple hallucinations, when not even overt scams. Some however remained unresolved even decades later, like that of US spouses Barney and Betty Hill, who in 1961 claimed to have been abducted by alien entities in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in the night betweenDecember 19th and 20th. It is indeed what may be considered the first famous case of “alien abduction” of modern era.
Mixed couple, rare for the time (Barney was African American, Betty white), the Hills were also activists of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and were therefore rather in sight.
According to their testimony, rendered during sessions of regressive hypnosis recorded on tape and still publicly available, December 19th, around 10pm, the couple was coming home, being near the White Mountains, when they noticed a bright object in the sky that they thought was a plane in distress or a satellite.
Reconstruction encounter with UFO
MEMORIES RE-EMERGE THANKS TO REGRESSIVE HYPNOSIS
Returning home they discovered that it had been several hours, without them being aware of it. Thanks to the regressive hypnosis the two, who in the meantime had started to experience migraines, burns and nightmares, managed to reconstruct what would happen in the time frame of which they had no memory (the so-called "missing time").
Barney would in fact at first come down from the car and approached the strange light that in the meantime had landed to the ground, only to realize that it was a vehicle of extraterrestrial origin from a porthole of which he seemed to see humanoid figures. At that point he would return to the car explaining to his wife that he had the feeling that those beings wanted to capture him.
The car left trying to sow the aircraft without succeeding. At a certain point the car would have been, indeed, stopped and beings would surround them, inviting them to board. Here they would have been subjected to physical tests and from there would have arisen had the illness of which later suffered the Hills.
Zeta Reticuli map drawn down by the Hills
STAR MAP ON THE UFO
The most surprising thing, as also mentioned by the Italian tv show Mistero Adventure, was however that Mrs. Hill in a further session of regressive hypnosis would be able to rebuild a star map seen on board the UFO, also describing the extraterrestrials on board the UFO as humanoid beings of short stature, with big head and eyes and with a gray skin.
Ufologist Marjorie Fish then declared to identify the Zeta Reticuli system on the map (a binary system distant 39.2 light years from the Earth), suggesting that the “gray” could come from there. Here ends the story of the Hill and begin discussions on the veracity of the case and on the possible further interpretation of the episode.
ASSUMPTIONS OF TRAVELERS OF THE TIME
The “extraterrestrial” according to Mistero Adventure, could have been some time travellers and having seen the interest that has often been shown towards humanity could have been nothing but humans from a distant future, perhaps archaeologists or historians returned to visit "critical" historical periods for the future of humanity. The hypothesis is fascinating, but for the time being travel through time are as theoretical as intergalactic journeys at subluminal speeds.
It is not however said that a company with a few hundred thousand (or million) years of evolution in more than those currently experienced by humanity can not be able to bend to its needs those that today seem to be physical laws and impassable limits. Never say never, therefore,at least until it is possible to offer a complete and convincing explanation of incidents like this of Hills mates.
A meteorite crashed near the American Pacific coast on March 7.
NASA is now analyzing two fragments found on the seabed to establish whether they came from the same meteorite.
The meteorite could contain extraterrestrial metal that scientists haven't come across before.
NASA hopes to use any findings to learn more about the behavior of meteorites.
A meteorite that crashed near the American Pacific coast on March 7 has been causing quite a stir for the past few days.
A NASA researcher named Marc Fries is on a research expedition seeking remains of the meteorite, believed to have landed on the seabed. Fragments of the meteorite could contain extraterrestrial metal that scientists haven't come across before.
The NASA mission reports its first success
The official website of the expedition's research vessel, Nautilus, has reported that meteorite fragments have already been found. Two fragments thought to be from the crashed meteorite are being investigated by Fries and his team.
E/V Nautilus✔@EVNautilus
So...did we find meteorites in the ocean?
After 7 hours exploring @OlympicCoast seafloor, we brought back several samples. @NASA_Johnson Cosmic Dust Curator Dr. Marc Fries conducted a visual analysis of these possible spacerocks--preliminary findings: https://nautl.us/2KDVgzB
Fries' expedition was planned in June in conjunction with the Nautilus, which happened to be operating in the same area as the crash site.
The Nautilus is equipped with state-of-the-art deep-sea robots, called ROVs, designed to scan the seabed with cameras and special sensing instruments. A kind of "magnetic rod" is used to scan the floor for metallic material.
As the researchers are hoping to make further discoveries in as large an area as possible within a short time, the vessel is also using wave technology to find hard objects among the soft areas of the seabed. The harder the object, the more the measuring device deflects waves.
Fries believes the impact location is most likely limited to an area of about 1 square kilometer.
The success of this NASA project could be a huge scientific milestone
With this mission, NASA hopes to learn more about the composition and behavior of meteorites — the debris left over when a meteor burns through the Earth's atmosphere. This meteorite could contain heat-resistant materials, an area on which researchers have been trying to focus their efforts in recent years.

Complex organics bubble up from ocean-world Enceladus
Complex organics bubble up from ocean-world Enceladus
by Staff Writers Washington DC (SPX) Jun 28, 2018
Data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft reveal complex organic molecules originating from Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, strengthening the idea that this ocean world hosts conditions suitable for life. Research results show much larger, heavier molecules than ever before.
Powerful hydrothermal vents mix up material from the moon's water-filled, porous core with water from the moon's massive subsurface ocean - and it is released into space, in the form of water vapor and ice grains. A team led by Frank Postberg and Nozair Khawaja of the University of Heidelberg, Germany, continues to examine the makeup of the ejected ice and has recently identified fragments of large, complex organic molecules.
illustration only
Previously, Cassini had detected small, relatively common organic molecules at Enceladus that were much smaller. Complex molecules comprising hundreds of atoms are rare beyond Earth. The presence of the large complex molecules, along with liquid water and hydrothermal activity, bolsters the hypothesis that the ocean of Enceladus may be a habitable environment for life.
Such large molecules can be created by complex chemical processes, including those related to life, or they can come from primordial material in some meteorites.
At Enceladus, it's most likely they come from hydrothermal activity driving complex chemistry in the core of the moon, Postberg said.
"In my opinion, the fragments we found are of hydrothermal origin; in the high pressures and warm temperatures we expect there, it is possible that complex organic molecules can arise," Postberg said.
The organic material is injected into the ocean by hydrothermal vents on the floor of Enceladus' ocean - something akin to the hydrothermal sites found at the bottom of the oceans on Earth, which are one of the possible environments that scientists investigate for the emergence of life on our own planet.
On Enceladus, bubbles of gas, rising through miles of ocean, could bring up organic material from depths, where they could form a thin film floating on the ocean surface and in cracks of vents, in the interior of the moon, beneath its icy shell.
After rising near the top of the ocean, the bubbles may burst or otherwise disperse the organics, where they were detected by Cassini.
"Continuing studies of Cassini data will help us unravel the mysteries of this intriguing ocean world," said Cassini Project Scientist Linda Spilker of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini spacecraft deliberately plunged into Saturn on Sept. 15, 2017. JPL designed, developed and assembled the Cassini orbiter. The radar instrument was built by JPL and the Italian Space Agency, working with team members from the U.S. and several European countries.
Scientists just changed their mind about that ‘Alien Probe’ asteroid again
Scientists just changed their mind about that ‘Alien Probe’ asteroid again
The bizarre interstellar visitor that whizzed through our Solar System late last year stunned scientists the world over. The object, named Oumuamua snuck up out of nowhere, cruising around the Sun and then slingshotting back out into space before most astronomers even knew what to make of it. Its strange shape and odd coloring were so strange that some researchers thought it might have been an alien probe checking us out.
Once that was put to rest, one of the more humorous twists to the story was the repeated flip-flopping of scientists who couldn’t decide whether it was a comet or an asteroid. It was initially thought to be a comet, but its lack of an iconic tail suggested otherwise. So, it was an asteroid, at least for a little while, but subsequent rounds of research suggestedit was a comet again… then an asteroid, again. Now, yet another study has been published in Nature and, well, it’s definitely a comet. Again.
The new paper, which was led by an astronomer with the European Space Agency (ESA), takes a close look at the strange visitor as it speeds away from our Solar System. The data reveals that the object is speeding up as it exits our neighborhood, which shouldn’t be possible if it were just a rocky asteroid being flung by gravity.
Instead, the researchers say, the object being a comet would explain its acceleration. The idea being that gasses heated during Oumuamua’s close brush with our Sun are actually pushing it faster and faster, matching what we know about comets.
So, the cigar-shaped object is actually a comet after all… or so the scientists say.
It’s hard to overstate just how bizarre Oumuamua really is. It’s confounded so many researchers in so many ways that it’s not hard to see why some have pushed the theory that it might actually be a spacecraft of some sort. In fact, the entire situation was so odd that the Breakthrough Listen project aimed its electronic ears at the object in an attempt to hear if it was sending out signals, perhaps being controlled remotely from some unseen intelligence. That experiment turned up nothing but silence.
For now I guess we’ll just have to accept the very little we know about Oumuamua. That is, unless it decides to turn around and come back, and at this point that might not be entirely out of the question.
Jupiter's Moons Spin Intricate Auroras at Planet's Poles
Jupiter's Moons Spin Intricate Auroras at Planet's Poles
By Sarah Lewin, Space.com Associate Editor

New research shows the closest-ever views of features in Jupiter's swirling auroras, revealing the complicated footprints left by its moons Io and Ganymede.
As Jupiter's moons orbit close over the gas giant, they interact with its powerful magnetic field, influencing the electron auroras that form at the planet's poles. The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged the bright dots and trails left by each of the four Galilean moons as they pass by — the footprint of the farthest moon, Callisto, was finally pinned down this year. But Hubble's (and Earth's) view of Jupiter makes it hard to clearly see the planet's poles, and its distance doesn't allow a good-enough resolution — so to dig deeper into those footprints, scientists needed a different perspective.
Enter NASA's Juno spacecraft, currently orbiting Jupiter and giving researchers their closest look at the gas giant. New images from Juno's Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument are revealing that the moons' auroral footprints are much more complicated, and tailored to the individual moons, than previously thought. [In Photos: Juno's Amazing Views of Jupiter]
Swirls behind Io
As Jupiter's moons pass through the charged particles called plasma that surrounds it, researchers think the plasma interacts with Jupiter's magnetic field to spark features in the planet's electron auroras. Those auroras aren't visible to the naked eye, but can be picked up by infrared and ultraviolet sensors.
Juno swings by Jupiter's poles every two months, giving Juno's aurora-mapper instrument the chance to observe the auroras up close for about an hour.
"During Orbit 8 [in] September of 2017, we decided to look close, very, very close to the footprint of Io," Alessandro Mura, lead author on the new work and a researcher at the National Institute for Astrophysics in Italy, told Space.com. "We were not expecting anything special, because so far there was no particular reason why to expect anything different than a big spot."
But what they did find was surprising: Rather than one big spot, the volcanic moon Io generates a pattern of vortices swirling off the footprint's "tail," resembling the swirls that form when a cylindrical object passes through a fluid.
"The discovery of the footprint itself is not new, it is that we now see how they are shaped — and the shape is very, very strange," Mura said.
The footprint of the moon Io in Jupiter's aurora resembles a Von Kármán vortex street, a pattern that forms when a fluid flows by a cylindrical object.
The pattern streaks for hundreds of kilometers after the moon passes by, leaving a spot on an alternating side about every 62 miles (100 km), for 10 or more spots. Mura noted that it's simply a physical resemblance to that fluid dynamics pattern at this point — researchers don't have the models yet to explain why Io traveling through Jupiter's magnetic field would spark that particular pattern.
"Io, being the closest [moon to Jupiter], has the most intense footprint," Mura said. "Io is so close that tracing the magnetic field from Io to Jupiter is a very powerful tool to understanding the magnetic field." Jupiter's intense field of plasma, which Io seems to contribute to, also plays a role in the imprint.

Doubled-up at Ganymede
And when they investigated the footprint of the planet Ganymede, the researchers saw something unusual as well: rather than one spot, they saw two separated by about 100 km — a never-before-seen double footprint.
That feature probably reflects something unique about the moon, Mura said: "There's only one moon which has its own magnetic field, which is Ganymede."
At "Ganymede, what we're seeing is not the interaction of the moon itself with the plasma of Jupiter," he added. "We are seeing the interaction of the magnetosphere of Jupiter inside another magnetosphere."
And as Io's complicated footprint gives researchers a rare chance to better understand the moon's interactions with the plasma around Jupiter, Ganymede's gives a key observation opportunity as well: "This is the first time we can have an image of the size of the magnetosphere of Ganymede by looking to its projection on top of Jupiter," Mura said.

Lucky break
Mura said that getting more data from the auroras — including analyzing the footprints of other Galilean moons — is the easy part of future research. After all, Juno is already set to pass over Jupiter's poles for many more orbits, providing plenty of opportunity for analysis.
"But one important thing is that we are refining our pointing," Mura said. "Because actually, the footprints are not exactly the place that we expected them, because the magnetic field models have to be improved."
"The chance we had to observe the Io footprint was very lucky, because we caught both of them during the first shot during Orbit 8… the chances were that we could miss the footprint by, say, 1,000 km [600 miles]," he added. "Now that we have better models and better understanding, we can try to have even better images." And those images will tell researchers more about the great gas giant as well as the moons that pass through its magnetic field.

Einsteins gelijk opnieuw bewezen: alle objecten vallen op dezelfde manier
Einsteins gelijk opnieuw bewezen: alle objecten vallen op dezelfde manier
Een internationaal team van astronomen heeft dit getest met behulp van drie sterren die om elkaar heen draaien: een neutronenster en twee witte dwergen
Einsteins zwaartekrachttheorie, de algemene relativiteitstheorie, voorspelt dat alle objecten op dezelfde manier vallen, ongeacht hun massa of samenstelling. Maar geldt dit principe ook voor objecten met extreem sterke zwaartekracht? Een internationaal team van astronomen heeft dit getest met behulp van drie sterren die om elkaar heen draaien: een neutronenster en twee witte dwergen. Hun bevindingen bewijzen dat Einsteins theorie de test ook doorstaat in dergelijke extreme omstandigheden (Nature, 5 juli).
Een hamer en een veer vallen met dezelfde versnelling op de maan. En als een lichte en zware kanonskogel van de toren van Pisa worden gegooid, raken ze op hetzelfde moment de grond. Zelfs de aarde en de maan vallen op dezelfde manier naar de zon toe. Einsteins theorie heeft alle tests in laboratoria en elders in ons zonnestelsel doorstaan. Maar de meeste alternatieve zwaartekrachttheorieën voorspellen dat objecten met extreem sterke zwaartekracht, zoals neutronensterren, anders vallen dan objecten met geringe zwaartekracht.
Dankzij de ontdekking van een ‘natuurlijk, kosmisch laboratorium’ hebben astronomen deze theorie nu kunnen testen in extreme omstandigheden: het drievoudige stersysteem PSR J0337+1715, op 4200 lichtjaar afstand van de aarde. In dit unieke, in 2012 ontdekte systeem draaien een neutronenster en een witte dwerg in 1,6 dagen om elkaar heen. En dit paar cirkelt in een baan van 327 dagen om een andere witte dwerg, veel verder weg. Volgens sommige alternatieve zwaartekrachttheorieën zouden de neutronenster en de binnenste witte dwerg elk op een andere manier naar de buitenste witte dwerg moeten vallen.
Einsteins gelijk opnieuw bewezen: alle objecten vallen op dezelfde manier
‘We hebben dit getest door de neutronenster te volgen’, licht eerste auteur Anne Archibald (postdoc aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en ASTRON, het Nederlands instituut voor radioastronomie) toe. ‘De neutronenster, een millisecondepulsar, gedraagt zich als een klok: hij wentelt 366 keer per seconde om zijn as, en bundels radiogolven roteren mee. Ze zwaaien met regelmatige tussenpozen als een kosmische vuurtoren over de aarde en produceren pulsen. We hebben deze radiopulsen gebruikt om de beweging van de neutronenster te volgen.’
Het team van astronomen volgde de neutronenster zes jaar lang met de Westerbork Synthese Radiotelescoop in Nederland, de Green Bank Telescoop in West Virginia, VS en het Arecibo Observatorium in Puerto Rico, VS. ‘We kunnen elke puls van de neutronenster nagaan sinds het begin van onze waarnemingen’, zegt Archibald. ‘En zijn locatie weten we tot op een paar honderd meter nauwkeurig. We weten daarom heel precies waar de neutronenster is geweest en waar hij naartoe gaat. Als de neutronenster anders zou vallen dan de witte dwerg, zouden de pulsen op een ander tijdstip aankomen dan verwacht.’
Archibald en haar collega’s ontdekten dat een eventueel verschil tussen de versnelling van de neutronenster en van de witte dwerg te klein is om te detecteren. ‘Als er al een verschil is, is het niet meer dan drie op een miljoen’, zegt Nina Gusinskaia, promovenda aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. “En dat is heel erg weinig. We ontkrachten hiermee een deel van de alternatieve zwaartekrachttheorieën. Ook hebben we de nauwkeurigheid van de beste zwaartekrachttest ongeveer tien keer verbeterd, zowel binnen het zonnestelsel als met andere pulsars.’

The Asteroid Belt Was Formed By Destroyed Ancient Alien Worlds, Study
The Asteroid Belt Was Formed By Destroyed Ancient Alien Worlds, Study
A new study has found that the asteroid belt of our solar system consists of destroyed former planets that collided with each other.
Before this study, such thoughts were called pseudo-science and were always rejected by mainstream scientists.
I wonder what planets they were, what destroyed them and whether they might have been inhabited. Maybe humans inhabited these worlds?
Study CONFIRMS that the asteroid belt was created from destroyed planets. Mainstream scientists have debunked themselves once again, previously denying any possibility that the asteroid belt was made up of a planetary collision... sometimes called those who suggested it “pseudoscientists”.

NASA: A Giant Star System Is Blasting Cosmic Radiation In Our Direction
NASA scientists have revealed radiation is heading on a collision course with Earth with it coming from a huge star system.
The star system has two huge suns, which blast cosmic rays out intospace, with the radiation moving thanks to intergalactic winds.
Cosmic radiation from giant star system heading towards Earth – NASA
Scientists have been puzzled about high-energy observations in the southern constellation of Carina but have had the puzzle solved, thanks to the orbital telescope of NASA. NASA revealed the energy source is on Eta Carinae. This is a double star system around 7,500 light years from Earth.
Rays containing energy larger than 1 billion electron volts are sent out into the solar system. The expanse into which they are sent out is vast, while the energy is erratic in its movement, both of which combine to make it very difficult in regards to being able to locate the sources.
NASA pointed out that stellar winds from Eta Carinae are the reason behind the energy patterns. Kenji Hamaguchi, an astrophysicist for NASA, said, “Similar processes must occur in other extreme environments. Our analysis indicates Eta Carinae is one of them.”
NASA used the NuStar telescope to collect data about the cosmic rays, saying that some of them have bounced off the magnetic field of Earth. A researcher claimed that before the use of the NuStar telescope, they did not know where the origin of the radiation was.
