8.7-Feet Long Sarcophagus Discovered In Egypt May Contain A Giant From The Past
8.7-Feet Long Sarcophagus Discovered In Egypt May Contain A Giant From The Past
Egyptian archaeologists have discovered the largest granite sarcophagus ever found
An ancient black granite sarcophagus which dates back to the Ptolemaic period between 305 B.C. and 30 B.C., was uncovered in the city of Alexandria, Egypt.

Dr. Mostafa Waziri, general secretary of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, announced that the 6-foot high sarcophagus, which is 8.7-feet long (2.65 meters) and 5.4-feet wide (1.64 meters), is the largest ever found in Alexandria reports Foxnews.
The sarcophagus was found buried 16.4 feet below the surface. A layer of mortar between the lid and experts say the ancient coffin has remained untouched since its burial thousands of years ago during the Ptolemaic period.

Archeologists also found a giant carved alabaster head – likely belonging to the giant who owned the tomb.
Throughout Egypt’s past there have been numerous examples of giants reported, excavated, depicted in art, and mummified examples that have been hidden from the public.
King Khasekhemui, ca. 2690 BC was the final ruler of the Second Dynasty of Egypt based near Abydos and he was something of a giant. King Khasekhemui was 2.44-2.60 meters long.

The new discovered sarcophagus may contain a giant from the past, and given the size of the sarcophagus it may contain one of the tallest giants ever found.

Enormous Flash after Ball Of Fire changes direction over ocean Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
Enormous Flash after Ball Of Fire changes direction over ocean Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
An enormous flash has been seen in the Rio Grande do Norte sky intrigued residents of several cities on Saturday night, July 7, 2018 around 10:35 pm.
Residents of the cities of Mossoró, Areia Branca, Assú, Baraúna, Severiano Melo and even in Ceará cities like Icapui said they had witnessed the flash.
The first information is that a ball of fire suddenly appeared upon which it changed direction before falling towards the ocean, eventually hitting the ocean.
"I saw it clearly here on the beach of São Cristóvão and it lit up all the sea. It seemed to me an explosion of something in space," reported witness Daniel Fortunato.
At first glance it looks like a meteorite but since meteorites are not changing direction the question arises what it could have been that exploded over the ocean.
This unexplained event comes shortly after a mysterious object splashed into the ocean off shore Washington.
Astronomers find new evidence of Organic Molecules in nearby Galaxy
Astronomers find new evidence of Organic Molecules in nearby Galaxy
Words by AC Speed | Senior Editor
A study led by the researcher of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) Ana Monreal Ibero proves the presence of organic molecules in galaxies beyond the Milky Way.
Astronomers find evidence of Organic Molecules in nearby Galaxy
By analyzing Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), the team was able to determine what parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, emitted by the galaxy, could only be explained by the presence of organic material.
The team used the MUSE instrument, and the VLT to carry out the analysis in the Antennae Galaxies.
"To our knowledge, we have derived the first maps for the DIBs at λ5780 and λ5797 in galaxies outside the Local Group."
These findings are important as it suggests complex organisms may well be able to develop outside of our own galaxy, increasing the probability that alien life is out there, somewhere.
Have we found alien life outside of our own galaxy?
We’ve essentially looked at the composition of another object in the universe and by looking at the spectrum of light it emits, we can determine the chemical composition of the object. In this case, we’ve simply found Organic Material that is more complex than a singular molecule.
What are the Antennae Galaxies?
The Antennae Galaxies, also known as NGC 4038/NGC 4039, are a pair of interacting galaxies in the constellation Corvus. They are currently undergoing a cosmic collision of gas, and dust.
These galaxies were separate about 1.8 billion years ago and it is thought that our very own Milky Way Galaxy will suffer the same fate in a few billion years.
What will alien life look like?
It’s hard to say, considering how many different variations of life we have here on Earth, it could take on an incomprehensible number of forms, many which we probably won’t even recognise.
Life on Earth is comprised of complex organic carbon molecules, and it’s very possible that evidence of complex organic material outside of our own galaxy could be proof that life can easily evolve in other parts of the universe.
I found a crashed alien ship on Mars today. It was in a gigapan photo and the ship is upside-down. The line down the middle from the tail section is similar to that of many military stealth craft. This is one of two craft I found in this photo, along with many faces of statues, walls and other structures.

“The Star Gate Project” What Is It? Did The US Government Really Shut It Down?
“The Star Gate Project” What Is It? Did The US Government Really Shut It Down?
“Star Gate” is a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) program which involved(s) the use of phenomena that many in the mainstream world still consider non-existent. Project “Star Gate” in particular lasted for 25 years before it was unexpectedly shut down.(1)(2)(3) Much of the material and research from the program still remain classified. “Star Gate” incorporated(s) consciousness, paranormal phenomena, ESP, remote viewing, and more for intelligence collection and research.(1)(2)(3) How can the Department of Defense have programs that study these phenomena for over 35 years when our mainstream world still doesn’t consider it real enough to study? I find the name “Star Gate” intriguing and wonder what inspiration lay behind the name chosen by those who initiated the program. It’s unfortunate that these concepts are not studied by major universities and our mainstream world, the significance of these realities can be far reaching. Having major educational institutions governing what type of “knowledge” is useful for learning isn’t fair. It’s simply a stepping stone for people to integrate themselves into a system that no longer resonates with the majority on the planet. As a result, extended human capacities, which are completely natural and lay dormant within all of us, remain unused, undiscovered, and not provided the opportunity to grow.
Star Gate was declassified in September of 1995, and the final report was released to the public which concluded that “a statistically significant effect had been demonstrated in the laboratory,” but that there is compelling evidence that the CIA set the outcome with regard to intelligence usage before the evaluation had begun. This was accomplished by limiting the research and operating data sets to exude positive findings, by purposefully not interviewing historically significant participants, by ignoring previous DOD extensive program reviews, and by using the questionable National Research Council’s investigation of parapsychology as the starting point for their review.(1)(3)
Although a statistically significant effect had been demonstrated in the lab, it was shut down because it remained unclear whether the existence of paranormal phenomenon, remote viewing, and more had been demonstrated phenomenon, because the origins and nature of the phenomenon remained unclear, assuming it exists, nor does it address an important methodological issue of inter-judge reliability.(1) It was concluded that even if paranormal phenomenon occurs under the conditions present in the setting of a laboratory, (which it did) conditions would still differ outside the lab and have limited applicability and utility for intelligence gathering operations in the real world.The review was done by a group of experts, one of them being Dr. Jessica Utts, a professor in the Division of Statistics at the University of California, Davis.(1)(3)
It is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established. The statistical results of the studies examined are far beyond what is expected by chance. Arguments that these results could be due to methodological flaws in the experiments are soundly refuted. Effects of similar magnitude of those found in government experiments have been replicated at a number of laboratories across the world.(1)
Dr. Utts
Star Gate, after a 25 year run was shut down due to it’s lack of applicability within the world of intelligence gathering. Most people these days know that the explanations for a previous, extremely classified subject are not always indicative of the truth. Could there have been another reason for the shut down? Did the US government really shut it down? Is there evidence to suggest that it was “shut down” for other reasons?
There is some evidence that suggests it was not shut down at all. First of all, these programs are called Special Access Programs, they are extremely classified and extremely secretive, the full extent and findings within these programs are not yet, and never have been known to the main stream world, but truth can’t remain concealed forever. They are so secretive that they do not even have to report to the congress, they are exempt.(4)(7) That means there is absolutely no oversight into these programs, no body has any idea about what is going on and who is involved. You can read more about the recent leak by Edward Snowden on the black budget here, it could be taking in trillions and trillions of dollars each year.
Another significant reason, some might call it definitive proof that the program is still running is the ‘whistle-blowing,’ of Ingo Swann. Ingo was the primary participant in multiple studies conducted by the CIA, NSA, the DOD, alongside researchers at Stanford University, on the subject of “Remote Viewing.”(1)(2)(3) Remote Viewing is the ability of an individual to describe a remote geographical location of up to several hundred thousand kilometers away from their physical location.
The FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) resulted in the government’s recent admission of its two-decade plus involvement in funding highly classified, special access programs in remote viewing and related psi phenomena. First at Stanford Research Institute and then at Science Applications International Corporation (SIAC), both supplemented by various in-house government programs.(2)
– H.E. Puthoff
During the experiments, Ingo was able to successfully remote view the rings around Jupiter before the NASA pioneer 10 made a fly by of the planet. All of this is documented in the literature.(2)(1)(3) What is not documented is the fact that Ingo Went on to write multiple books sharing is experience within the program. In his experience, he describes intelligence officers coming to get him, blind folding him, transporting him to locations that were underground where he would speak to another man in a suit.(5) We know that Ingo successfully remote viewed Jupiter (as documented), he claims he also remote viewed the back side of the moon, and that who ever was taking him to these locations and interrogating him were astounded to know that he was able to see what he saw a the back side of the moon. That means they (men in suits) were confirming what he (Ingo) was looking at, and already knew of what he was looking at.(5) You can read more about Ingo’s findings on the back side of the moon here.
Ingo expressed that the reason the program was declassified was so they (DIA) could say it was shut down and didn’t find anything worthy of use within the intelligence community. It was really shutdown and declassified so it could remain secret, and so they could say “it’s been declassified, nothing more to see here.” Ingo expressed that it was highly classified, and that they publicly shut it down because remote viewing and psychic phenomenon is one of the greatest threats to government secrecy.(6) This seems to me to be a much better explanation of the apparent shut down of the program.
According to our best estimates, more than half of all U.S. government records are classified. For an archivist seeking to preserve and understand our history, that means most of our history is kept secret from us, think about that for a moment

Using Extended Human Capacities For The Wrong Reasons
Human beings are capable of much more than they are currently aware of. Many of these capacities (as illustrated earlier) still remain known, but hidden. Regardless, truth cannot remain concealed forever, it will eventually make it’s way out over time. What is occurring here are natural phenomena, it’s nothing to fear. In our not-too-distant history, exploring concepts such as these was viewed as a heretic act. Fear was used as a form of control, and people were taught to be wary of these concepts and stay away from them as if they were the work of something not so pleasant. The dominant ruler on the planet in these times was the Catholic Church, and it was common for them to ban and forbid knowledge that did not fit the accepted framework, worldview or paradig. Things are changing, and extended human capacities like ESP are beginning to be seen in a new light.
The implications of this are far reaching. From birth we emerge into a world with so much to discover. As children, discovery is the joy of life. That sense of discovery is taken from us at a very early age. We are placed into the educational system very fast and told that “this” is how the world is and what we need to do to be “successful” in it. This immediately shifts our attention away from what is really important, into a framework of a robotic like existence, trapping ourselves into a program and way of life that does not resonate with our souls, and is not in balance with our natural selves. In the mean time, we let our planet suffer, and let others live in conditions that nobody deserves to live in.
We can live in a world that is built upon cooperation, and service to others. Where all needs are met, and the enthusiasm of discovery we had when we were children is encouraged and extended. If we did this, the human race would be living in world of more wonder and potential, far beyond the limitations we put on ourselves today. The only barrier that prevents us from getting there is the place at which the human race chooses to operate from. We don’t have the best track record in using our ‘scientific discoveries’ to benefit the whole. The only way we can continue forward with our exploration beyond this point is if our intention for creation has the entire planet and every living being on it first in their heart. Technological developments must work with nature, not against it. The same concept applies to extended human capacities, and specifically the place to which we choose to apply them.
Using extended human capacities and new technological discoveries with the intention of doing nothing but good for the entire collective, would be a really cool planet to live on.
No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it
On Monday, the Russian military scored a decisive victory over marauding extraterrestrials, said Russian Federal Service Bureau officer Isan Ivanov. His account expands on an official statement issued by the Ministry of Defense, which claims that Russian air defense batteries shot down a group of unmanned drones of unknown origin near Khmeimim Air Base in Syria.
Russia Destroys Alien Drones in Syria
Ivanov said the alien craft employed cloaking technology to penetrate Russian-controlled airspace but were detected by Russia’s next-generation Air Defense Identification Grid (ADIG) five kilometers from the airfield. Although he would not comment on technology used to defeat the cloak, Ivanov claims at least three aircraft, each approximately thirty-five feet long, were destroyed.
He admits Russia’s first attempt to destroy the drones failed. Upon detecting the intruders, the airbase commander used a combination of conventional weapons–23mm anti-aircraft shells and several short-range ground-to-air missiles. But the extraterrestrials possessed an energy screen that absorbed or repelled kinetic-based weapons. At that point, vehicle-mounted, high-energy lasers—a technology Russia has been developing to defeat extraterrestrial threats—engaged and destroyed the invaders.
Ivanov said this is not the first time extraterrestrials have overflown the airbase; in January, a two kilometer wide “mothership” appeared in the sky above Khmeimim, and in may a pair of smaller vessels travelling at over 7,000 mph flew over the airfield. In those instances, the intruding aircraft disappeared before they could be engaged.
There is a reason, Ivanov said, Khmeimim is such a hotbed of UFO activity: the airbase is a secret staging ground for Vladimir Putin’s clandestine war against species of malevolent extraterrestrials.
“They are constantly probing our defenses. Khmeimim has been a primary base of operations for assaults on alien life forms in this theater of operations. It is used to launch attacks on the Anunnaki and others that seek to extinguish human life. There are always two divisions of Special Services here and a compliment of extraterrestrial specialists from the Metzgoya outpost. We are dedicated to protecting humanity from non-terrestrial entities. We do not know what race Monday’s targets belonged to, but this shows our resolve.”
He said Russian scientists in hazmat suits examined the wreckage and were bewildered at the technology. A thorough analysis of salvaged components revealed neither a visible propulsion system nor a hint of the vehicle’s cloaking mechanism. One section contained “millions” of, what he described as, fiber optic-like cables through which pulsed a luminous amber liquid. The remnants were classified “above top secret” and flown to the Metzgoya extraterrestrial research station in the Ural Mountains. That location, he said, is the Russian equivalent of Area 51 and Dulce Base, and houses captured ETs and their respective technologies. He warns that alien superiority raises the risk of worldwide attacks and believes only a unified command, with all governments working in tandem, can defeat extraterrestrial threats to our planet.
“President Putin is working hard to understand these technologies and develop countermeasures,” Ivanov said. “But he knows he needs help, which is why he is soliciting assistance from other leaders across the planet. No one government can win this war alone.”

A woman in Arkansas filmed this interesting video. Two white objects flying close to each other at high altitude. At first, she thought it was planes.
In the video, however, you can see that these objects are something else. They seem to have wings. So they're very big birds? What kind of bird can be that big? Or are they something completely different?
Something Big Crashed into Uranus and Changed It Forever
Something Big Crashed into Uranus and Changed It Forever

Massive object damaged Uranus forever
It turns out that Uranus is so weird because of a massive collision billions of years ago.
A new study confirms that this collision with a huge object — which was approximately twice the size of Earth — could have led to the planet's extreme tilt and other odd attributes.
Uranus, the planet with the unforgettable name, is unique in a number of ways. "All of the planets in the solar system are spinning more or less in the same way … yet Uranus is completely on its side," Jacob Kegerreis, the new study's lead author and a researcher at Durham University's Institute for Computational Cosmology in the U.K., told Space.com. And this isn't the only thing that makes the planet so strange.
Uranus also has a "very, very strange" magnetic field and is extremely cold, even though it "should" be warmer, according to Kegerreis. In this study, Kegerreis and his team of astronomers seek to explain many of the planet's odd features by attributing them to a collision with a massive, icy object about 4 billion years ago. [Photos of Uranus, the Tilted Giant]
To better understand how the impact affected Uranus' evolution, the team used a high-powered supercomputer to run a simulation of massive collisions — something that has never been done before. This study confirms an older study that suggested Uranus' significant tilt was caused by a collision with a massive object.
The researchers suspect that this object was probably a young protoplanet, made up of rock and ice. This collision is "pretty much the only way" that we can explain Uranus' tilt, Kegerreis said.
Amazingly, Uranus retained its atmosphere after this impact. The researchers think that this is because the object only grazed the planet, hitting it hard enough to change its tilt but not enough to affect its atmosphere, according to a statement from Durham University.
It's likely that this type of event isn't uncommon in the universe: "All the evidence points to giant impacts being frequent during planet formation, and with this kind of research, we are now gaining more insight into their effect on potentially habitable exoplanets," Luis Teodoro, study co-author and researcher at the BAER/NASA Ames Research Center, said in the statement.
But this enormous object crashing into Uranus did more than just knock it into a new tilt. According to this research, when the object hit Uranus, some of the debris from the impact may have formed a thin shell that continues to trap heat coming from the planet's core. This could at least partially explain why Uranus' outer atmosphere is extremely cold.
According to Kegerreis, this collision could also explain two other oddities about the tilted planet. First, it could explain how and why some of Uranus' moons formed. The researchers think that the impact could have knocked rock and ice into the young planet's orbit — debris that later became some of Uranus' 27 moons. Additionally, they think that the collision could have altered the rotation of any moons that already existed at the time. Last year, a separate study also explored this aspect of the collision.
The researchers also suggest that the collision could have created molten ice and lumps of rock inside the planet, which tilted its magnetic field, according to the statement.
Following this study, the researchers hope to study this collision with even higher-resolution simulations to better understand Uranus' evolution, according to Kegerreis. He also noted that the team aims to study Uranus' chemistry and the different ways that an impact like this could have affected its atmosphere.

Dr. Brian O’Leary Alien Contact
Dr. Brian O’Leary, on 18th September 1994 made the following declarations publicly at the International Forum on New Science in Fort Collins, Colorado. Dr O’Leary said that “For nearly 50 years, the secrecy apparatus within the United States Government has kept from the public UFO and alien contact information.” He flatly stated that. “We have contact with alien cultures…” As for the non-disclosure of these facts, Dr O’Leary said, “The suppression of UFO and other extraterrestrial intelligence information for at least 47 years is probably being orchestrated by an elite band of men in the CIA, NSA, DIA and their like. This small group appears able to keep these already-hard-to-believe secrets very well. Those who have investigated this hydra-headed beast believe that the Cosmic Watergate of UFO, alien, mind-control, genetic engineering, free-energy, anti-gravity propulsion and other secrets will make Watergate or Iran-Gate…appear to be kindergarten exercises.” Brian O’Leary – NASA Astronaut
Alien Worlds and the Fate of Earth
It is estimated there are millions if not billions of exoplanets. Many of these planets are likely to have various kinds of alien life. Adam Frank deserves our gratitude for condensing so much fascinating material into the ‘Light of the Stars, Alien Worlds and the Fate of Earth,’ this highly readable book. Adam ably picks up where Carl Sagan left off, Intelligent life does not necessarily mean it will succeed. His book describes the emerging science of astrobiology very clear, succinct, and entertaining.”,
We are just one of almost countless planets in the Universe, and it’s likely that many of those planets hosted technologically advanced alien civilizations which may have faced the same challenges we’re facing today. Astrophysicist and NPR commentator Adam Frank tells of his latest research on the existence and trajectories of alien civilizations and what they may teach us about our own. He described science as “constrained imagination,” and discusses the famous Drake equation, which was formulated to give us an idea of the possibility of the number of extraterrestrial civilizations that may have reached an age of technological sophistication. Frank also speculated on the possibility of an earlier Earth civilization, which may have existed 10 to 100 million years ago, and would leave very little trace of itself after that amount of time.
Frank also discussed the record of Earth’s climate and the scientific consensus that temperatures on the planet have remained fairly constant for at least 10,000 years, and added that “we would have to be wrong” about the effects of the sun on climate change for it to be a factor in any warming or cooling trends. Frank also used the example of Easter Island, and the depletion of natural resources over a few hundred years and how this can be scaled up to a planetary level. He concluded that “climate change shows how powerful how we’ve become” as a technological species.
Astrophysicist Adam Frank is a leading expert on the final stages of evolution for stars like the sun, and his computational research group at the University of Rochester has developed advanced supercomputer tools for studying how stars form and how they die. A self-described “evangelist of science,” he is also committed to showing others the beauty and power of science, and exploring the proper context of science in culture.
Editors Note: An advanced civilization with its star dying would need to find a newer planet with a viable Sun such as Earth. This is likely responsible for some of the craft we are seeing in our skies.
Saturn’s Moons Enceladus, Titan and Rings Likely Have Life
In 2005, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft detected plumes of water vapor and icy particles erupting from Enceladus, revealing the existence of a giant ocean hidden under the moon’s frozen shell. Because there is life virtually wherever there is water on Earth, these findings suggested that life might also exist on Enceladus. Now, new data from the European Space Agency suggests that those plumes might contain complex organic (carbon-based) molecules.
A mix of saltwater and ice grains erupt from geysers on Saturn’s moon Enceladus according to the .European Space Agency
When a massive saltwater ocean was found hidden beneath the icy crust of ’Saturn’s Moon Enceladus in 2015, astronomers were cautiously optimistic that this watery world could have just the right conditions to host life. Now, thanks to a new study, Enceladus’ stock has gone up — way up. Complex organic molecules have been discovered for the first time coming from the depths of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Spacecraft scheduled to launch soon could explore what this new discovery says about the chances of life within icy moons like Enceladus. The sixth largest of Saturn’s moons, Enceladus is only about 314 miles (505 kilometers) in diameter. This makes the moon small enough to fit inside the borders of Arizona.
Using data from a spacecraft, an international team of astronomers has for the first time discovered complex organic (carbon-containing) molecules — the building blocks of life— spewing from Enceladus. The new finding, described in a paper published online June 27 in the journal Nature, makes the small icy moon the most promising place beyond Earth to find life in the solar system. “Enceladus’ subsurface ocean is a habitable place that may even produced intelligent life forms. The organics are then injected, together with the hot water, into the overlying cooler ocean by hydrothermal vents,” Postberg said. “Then, they can be transported upwards to the ocean surface on the walls of rising bubbles of gas.”
“This is the first-ever detection of complex organics coming from an extraterrestrial water world.” The big question is if it is inhabited,” Frank Postberg, a planetary scientist at the University of Heidelberg in Germany and the study’s lead author, told NBC News. Now, researchers have detected complex organic molecules from Enceladus, including some at least 15 carbon atoms in size
Titan Another Saturn Moon Has Atmosphere and Liquids
Saturn’s largest moon Titan is an extraordinary and exceptional world. Among our solar system’s more than 150 known moons, Titan is the only one with a substantial atmosphere. Titan is the only place besides Earth known to have liquids in the form of rivers, lakes and seas on its surface.
Jupiter’s moon Ganymede is just a little bit larger (by about 2 percent). Titan’s atmosphere is made mostly of nitrogen, like Earth’s, but with a surface pressure 50 percent higher than Earth’s. Titan has clouds, rain, rivers, lakes and seas of liquid hydrocarbons like methane and ethane. The largest seas are hundreds of feet deep and hundreds of miles wide. Beneath Titan’s thick crust of water ice is more liquid—an ocean primarily of water rather than methane. Titan’s subsurface water could be a place to harbor life as we know it, A close up of Titan shows a series of possible faces of humanoid appearing aliens. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
The Ringmakers of Saturn
A NASA scientist Dr. Norman Bergrun ‘who wrote the book The Ringmakers of Saturn has posted his excellent book in its entirety up on a website that is well worth reading. Having privy to top-secret documents during his time in NASA came at a cost, as Bergrun himself explained in a Project Camelot interview, “I had to sign my life away for thirty years.” He also intimated that there was a limit to what he can say even now, and revealed that his life would be in serious danger should he say too much.
With exclusive access to the raw NASA photographs been sent back from Voyager I in 1980, Bergrun saw firsthand what the general public was not allowed to see, making him the first legitimate, verified member of the scientific community to discover cylindrical vehicles.
Bergrun had the exciting experience of having sighted and photographed a mobile slender body fitting the specific properties of the two bodies shown later in the photos. This sighting at the time was experienced by the author’s wife and daughter. Through binoculars, this body appeared to be large and incorporated fine aerodynamic features at the fore and aft exhaust ends. That is, the ends did not terminate squarely cut-off as would result when a pole is sawed in two. Rather, the ends were rounded much the same as are cowls of jet engine intakes. Bulb like streamers were emitted from locations along the body. Control over these streamers was demonstrated by the modulation of their activity, and also by introduction of additional streamers which moved with definite periodicity. Drawing upon many years of aerospace experience, the author has no reservation about labeling the sighted body a vehicle.
He feels he sees similar vehicles on Saturn’s rings and has chosen to reveal his thoughts in his books.
Here is a little bit of the vehicle research he states in his book.
“Near the end of the 18th century, luminous points were observed on the edge of the ring planes of Saturn. One of these is reported to have moved off its position. None of the luminous points persisted very long (less than 16 hours), On 9 February 1917, two astronomers, Maurice Ainslie and John Knight of Great Britain, observed the source independently. Brightness of the source was so intense that Ainslie referred to the object as a “star”. The star traveled a straight-line course which, in effect, subtended a chord across the ring system. Length of the chord was of the order of 125,000 km (77,700 miles). Observed time to traverse this chordal distance across the ring system was 1 hour and 40 minutes, making the average velocity 21 km/sec (13 mi/sec) or 48.600 mph. This value compares with an average velocity for Voyager en route to Saturn of about 13.7 km/sec (8.5 mi/sec) or 39,500 miles per hour.. That is, the star was about 1 1/2 times faster.
During the observations when the star was in plain view, the light from the object appeared to be elongated. There was a strange aspect about the traversal itself. Seeming to move through the ring plane without difficulty, the star appeared to devour material ahead as it proceeded. Further, at no time did the rings completely block out the radiating light.
Results from Voyager 1 have added new puzzlements. For example, so-called “spokes” of light stretch across part of the ring system; the F ring, which is positioned alone outside the main ring plane, contains entwined strands or “braids”; intense electrical discharges. The NASA photographs picked up likely bases with points of light and heat plus a gigantic electromagnetic vehicle according to Dr. Bergrun who had excess to thousands of NASA photos.
SATURN’S RINGS EXPLAINED
He states, “Wherever you see some rings, that’s where I see the crafts, I call them ring makers,” explained Dr, Bergrun. “I say that it is electromagnetic because I can identify streamline patterns with respect to it that I knew were what we called ‘potential lines’ and that says it was electrical,” said Dr. Bergrun. “I could tell that those lines demarked the outside of an object.” The scientist argues that the some of the footage near the rings shows “exhaust” emanating from alien craft and he warned that things are getting “critical” in deep space as these space ships continue to proliferate throughout the solar system.”
The possibility of life on various moons of Saturn coupled with the appearance of spaceship like vehicles, and alien bases all points a possible civilization or at least an extraterrestrial way station.
This photo shows the length of a slender body exhausting at both ends generating the A ring. The slender body is orbiting clockwise and, in doing so, deposits a wide trail. This trail, which can be recognized as the A ring without the Enke division, is generated by efflux or something emanating from nearly the entire length of the body. While most of the efflux is generated along the top, some also appears to begin underneath and along the body sides in the form of streamers. These streamers pass over the side, proceed above the body and contribute to the A-ring trail. Presence of exhaust flames from each end of the body and the bulgy appearance of the streamers as they pass over the body suggest a circular cross-section for the body. A light source, somewhat greater in diameter than the body, is positioned below the right end. This source is attached to the body with inter-connecting emissions turning to an orange-red arc along the top edge. Emissions from the body can be viewed collectively as creating a net force on the unit. According to one of Isaac Newton’s laws of motion, forces can occur only in action-reaction pairs. The reaction of the body to the action of the emissions is to move the body, presumably in a direction so as to complete the ring. This physically inherent mobile capability is justification for calling the body a vehicle.
This photo shows formation of the Enke division ring that ends next to a vehicle. In the photo, the A and B rings as well as the Cassini division can be recognized. Once again, an electromagnetic vehicle is found depositing an orbital trail. Efflux emanating primarily from the radially outboard 2/3 of body length is responsible. Clearly, were the vehicle located at a slightly shorter radius, the gap would be lessened. Widths reported for the Enke division range from approximately 200 to 320 km (125 to 200 mi). Nominally, this gap width is equivalent to a variation in orbital radius of only about 1/4 of one percent.
The implication is that orbital radius of vehicle position is set very precisely in order to have a gap produced in the ring. Inspection of the vehicle reveals numerous jets issuing from many different positions around and along the body. A fan of three jets appears to form in the Photo: Formation of the Enke division. inboard part of the trailing efflux. Each jet appears to consist of a series of bulbous swellings. Such swellings are indicative of the form of electrically charged flows known as pinched plasmas. Length of the vehicle appears to be about 10 times its diameter. A dark jet crossing the body near the left end makes the vehicle appear as though there are two sections aligned longitudinally. In reality, the vehicle is integrally one. An attempt at sizing yields an apparent length of about 4700 km (2900 mi) and a diameter of 470 km (290 mi). Diameters of issuing jets are of the order of 0.1 to 0.2 body diameter, or about 47 to 94 km (29 to 58 mi). Numerous photographs have been examined with special attention being given to the outermost region of Saturn’s A ring The large lights are frequently attached to an electromagnetic vehicle that are huge. These vehicles may include plants for farming and enclosed large living quarters, and even enclosed towns.
Dr. Norman Bergrun, a distinguished mechanical engineer at NASA’s Ames Research Center argues that extraterrestrial life exists within the earth’s solar system arguing that UFOs spaceships that were first spotted in Saturn’s rings are “proliferating” to other planets that have rings including Uranus and Jupiter. “What I found out is, these things inhabit Saturn, that’s where I first discovered them, and they’re proliferating. You can find them around Uranus and Jupiter.” He explained why what he was seeing was an electromagnetic vehicle, “I say that it is an electromagnetic vehicle because I can identify streamline patterns with respect to it that I knew were what we called ‘potential lines’ and that says it was electrical”.
Bergrun thought it could be possible that these craft were actually making the rings, hence the book’s title, but other scholars have raised the possibility that they could be mining the precious metals and nutrients that make up the rings. Either way, what an incredible discovery, another one that appears to have been left out of the public domain. A reviewer commenting on Bergrun’s book wrote, “Saturn’s rings are ‘not’ natural, but are some type of effluent from massively huge, cylindrical objects, themselves measured in terms of earth diameters!”
On each extremity of Saturn’s rings, cylindrical bodies have been photographed spewing emissions. These emissions assume complicated patterns while contributing compositional material for the rings. A time-varying appearance of Saturn’s disc is a natural consequence of this process. The B ring and inner- and outer-A rings are separate entities because different vehicles fabricate these rings, intervening spaces, such as the Cassini and Enke divisions, are safety buffer regions to preclude vehicle collisions. The pink area is spaceship enhanced by the editor.
Bergrun has detected similar things around the other gas giants of the outer solar system such as Jupiter and Uranus. If he is to be believed, then the situation is “critical” as the solar system becomes infested with living alien spaceships, and if he is wrong then we all got a chance to imagine something unique for a moment. Electromagnetic vehicles possess obvious devastational capabilities which might evoke fear and anxiety in some people. These discomforting emotions can be alleviated upon realization that these powerful vehicles have been around for many, many centuries; and the human race still continues.
Artist’s Spaceship
Electromagnetic vehicles most likely originate outside the solar system. Hence, new avenues of inquiry can be considered concerning observed phenomena in the universe. The universe is laden heavily with nuclear energy; and apparently some societal intelligence has mastered its application on a large scale. Accomplishments include massively large engines, controlled nuclear fusion, planetary-satellite surface modification, lengthy transmission of huge electrical currents, and immensely high-power electro-potential fields. Electromagnetic vehicles have played, and continue to play a role in effecting change. Electromagnetic vehicles, however, also create. They create rings of different types and compositions. They create satellite surfaces, such as that of Saturn’s moon Iapetus. Is there any reason to think creation stops at this impressive level of achievement? Not at all. Saturn, has fairly ideal chemical broths containing life-form building blocks. Dry-lightning strikes from electromagnetic vehicles should be able to initiate life-form chemical reactions. The researchers conjectured that these organic materials were cooked up inside the hot, rocky and fragmented core
Richard Doty Interviews with Bill Moore and Jamie Shandera?
Robert Collins writes in his book, ‘Exempt from Disclosure,’ the Doty Chapter is very detailed as is the whole book, very analytical and well referenced and why Rick Doty tried to sue me in 2016 (Ron Pandolfi, works for DNI knows the case) claiming I fabricated the under the Reagan Disclosure Program and have nothing to do with any current interviews. However, Rick Doty since working for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is now trying debunk his own contributions to this book.
Richard Doty was a Special Agent for Counter-Intelligence for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI). For over eight years he was specifically tasked with the UFO/Extraterrestrial issue at Kirkland Air Force Base in New Mexico and also at Nellis Air Force Base (the so-called Area 51) and at other locations.
This Chapter was taken from a set of four interesting interviews done by both Bill Moore and Jaime Shandera in the 1980s and later updated in the. Book ‘Exempt from Disclosure” Pages 62 thru 64.
“So, where do I begin? Well, in August of 1968, I began my basic training at Lackland A.F.B., TX, which, lasted until November. After that I stayed at Lackland for a special duty assignment. After basic training, I went through air force security police school at Lackland. I then was assigned to the 1041st Combat Security Police Wing, where I went through 14 weeks of combat training in Hawaii. After training, I volunteered for a special duty assignment at Indian Springs AFB Nevada which required that I have a “Top Secret” clearance. There were a total of 10 security policeman selected for this TDY. After receiving our clearances, we were flown to Indian Springs AFB.
Indian Springs AFB is located approximately 60 miles northwest of Las Vegas and contained tactical firing ranges used by combat aircraft.
Approximately 15 miles southeast of Indian Springs was located a top secret Air Force facility and this is where my career as a security policeman began. Upon my arrival at this special facility the 10 security policemen and I were given a Top Secret briefing by a USAF Colonel. The briefing was quite generic; no details of the special facility were given. All we were told was that the facility tested special aircraft. We were housed in a new air-conditioned building containing a theater, dining facility and a recreational area. My special duty was to guard a very large hangar estimated to be 3500 feet by 4000 feet and at least 100 ft in height. The hangar was located inside a high security fenced in area with two entry points. It was one of the largest hangars I’d ever seen. I was assigned to security flight “C.”
My supervisor was a Master Sergeant. We also had two air force officers, one captain and one lieutenant. Another flight of security policemen guarded the interior of the building. These security policemen were E-6 or higher. During an extremely hot July day in 1969 at ~9:00 a.m., and under very tight security, the hangar doors were opened. I was amazed at the size of the object located inside (this scene was depicted in Steven Spielberg’s “Taken” which was televised on the Sci-Fi channel in December 2002). My first impression was that the object was a “flying saucer.”
Similar Hangar
It was pulled out of the hangar by a large USAF tug vehicle and because of my close proximity to the hangar door (about 50 ft), the object literally passed over my head. I was again stunned by its size as it was pulled out onto a runway. It sat on the runway for about an hour while several attempts were made to start it up, but it would not start. Technicians in white coveralls and civilian suits worked on the object for another hour. Finally, the large craft was pulled back into the hangar.
Later that afternoon, while off duty, I asked my supervisor what the object was. I was told it was an experimental aircraft. I joking replied that the object looked like a flying saucer. About that time, a man in civilian clothing asked me to meet with him in an unoccupied room.
Once inside, the room the civilian identified himself as Mr. Blake. Blake asked me what I knew about flying saucers. I mentioned that I had read some magazines, but that I was joking when I said the object looked like a flying saucer. Blake told me that he knew my uncle and how my uncle (Ed Doty) worked as an investigator on UFO sightings. I stated that I knew his and that my uncle had mentioned this to me in the past. Blake then said, “What if I told you that the object you saw today was a real flying saucer from another planet then what would you say?” I said I wouldn’t know what to say. Blake laughed and then he told me not to mention this to anyone. Blake then escorted me to the door saying, “Airmen Doty, someday you’ll know the true story about that object sitting in the big hangar.” I simply nodded and left the room. Little did I know how right he would be?
I saw the large “flying saucer” again several more times in the next 45 days. However, it never did fly. The day prior to my departure the same Colonel who gave the initial briefing debriefed me. I flew back to Nellis then eventually back to Sheppard AFB.” Thanks to Robert M. Collins Reference Exempt from Disclosure: http://www.ufoconspiracy.com/reports/efd_book.htm

Watch Liberals Protest ICE as the Agency Breaks Up a
Child Sex-Trafficking Ring
July 5, 2018
Amanda Prestigiacomo reports, As Democratic politicians’ calls for the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) grow intensely loud, a video of liberals protesting the agency as they break up a child sex-trafficking ring has resurfaced online. CBS San Francisco reported in August of 2017 that federal agents served a search warrant on a Guatemalan immigrant family home in Oakland in connection with an investigation concerning the sex trafficking of juveniles. The human trafficking operation was later confirmed by authorities.
Amazingly, as ICE officers were literally breaking up the child prostitution operation, they were being protested against by liberal neighbors who demonized the agency and advocated for the “rights” of illegal immigrants who 15% are thought to be criminals or terrorists.. Oakland is designated a “sanctuary city” for illegals. Hadar Cohen, a female neighbor protesting ICE said a “No person is illegal” sign in-hand. “We care for our neighbors, and we for immigration rights.”
Even after neighbors were informed that the raid was about sex-trafficking and not immigration, the ICE-bashing continued, Notes: The Federalist. “ICE is not welcome in this country.. ” Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is apparently the “future” of the Democrat Party, has called for the abolition of ICE. Following suit, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA), and other prominent Democrats have made similar demands.

Filer’s Files #27 – 2018 UFOs in Saturn’s Rings - PART II
Filer’s Files #27 – 2018 UFOs in Saturn’s Rings - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
Arizona Light
Glendale — We were watching fireworks when my wife pointed out that what she thought was a helicopter. It turned red andwas moving very fast. I noticed its still had a small white connected to the back of the object. It quickly lowered about 250-feet and began ascending in a wide sweeping circle. When it finished its circle it rose very quickly straight up another fewhundred feet. Then the object began moving south and-5 times faster. It looked like it was going straight twords the airport. Which is about 20 miles from my house. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Object
Kelseyville — I took this photo. The place was in, Soda Bay in Lake County, California on June
Note: The witness did not say anything about the object in the photo. Without a description little can be concluded about this sighting. We don’t even know if the witness saw the object or later discovered the object in the photo. A request has been sent to the witness to obtain more detail. Updates will be posted.
Cocoa Beach — I don’t really know if it’s anything, but I will send a short video and a still picture. I just thought it was really weird. This happened I don’t really know if it’s anything, but I will send a short video and a still picture. I just thought it was really weird. This happened on June 27, 2018, Wednesday night. It is not far from Cape Canaveral.
Note: The video taken by the witness did not show anything unusual. The photo shows a vertical beam of light. This is likely a natural phenomenon and not likely UFO related. The photo shows dense clouds in the area so the beam of light could be meteorological. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Illinois Light
Springfield — Pamela Stark writes that she took this photo on June 30, 2018, at 9:02 pm.
The light was changing shape. They seem to be back again.
Hope you are well. They are still hanging around.
Thanks to Pamela Stark
Louisiana Objects
New Iberia— My wife and I were in our front yard when I saw a low flying plane on November 11, 2017
I started the video and he started spraying what appeared to be poison. I was pissed off. Sorry about the language.
I didn’t notice the other objects flying around the plane until reviewing the footage. It appears one craft enters the cloud the plane has sprayed out. They don’t blink, they’re fast and camouflaged.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Missouri Lights
I was shopping and took photo of the storm in the sky on June 28, 2018. I didn’t notice the objects until I looked at the photo later that night After reviewing the objects I noticed the parking lot light group of 3 where on at the same time in the photo. Not sure if they the 3 objects in the sky are the reflection from them and my cell lens.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Lights
Yardville — This account was filmed at approximately 10 p.m. on Tuesday, July 3rd 2018 in Yardville Heights New Jersey. Hovering objects sighted seem to have a triangular design and glowed reddish orange and yellow and white. At first there were five, then 3, then two. The last two seem to dissolve upward. Thought this would be worth reporting. I have been studying the skies for many years and I have never seen anything quite like this. First thought that it was a sophisticated drone(s). I have spotted various drones hovering in the past .but. nothing quite like this.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Objects
Queens — We were in Breezy Point standing about 500 feet from the surf watching people shooting fireworks on the beach which were probably going as high as 200 feet. We looked way above the fireworks to 4 or 5 thousand feet to see jets from nearby airports Kennedy and LaGuardia so we new it wasn’t a plane or fireworks. Now I’m guessing , not knowing the altitude or the exact size of the object what took the jet to go from point a to b was 20 seconds this object disappeared in a cloud of smoke. It did this several times back and forth until it disappeared. It was impressive to say the least there were probably seven or eight of us that saw it, Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Objects
Mount Orab — I was outside with my dog and saw two objects in the sky. I’m not sure what they were for being that low in the sky on May 9, 2018 .They appeared to be still and then started to move toward my direction, with no lights and metallic looking below the clouds, They were big ( like small plane big) no sound. I got my phone and took photos and zooming in on one. same height in the sky i watched until they were out of line of sight. I’m. not sure what that is in the photo. they just caught my eye.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Light
Lake Buchanan — I just noticed the circle of light. I checked and the were no visible planets in the sky that morning.
I just noticed the object in the corner of the picture a few days ago.
Photo taken over Lake Buchanan on January 29, 2018
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Lights
Goldendale — Maryhill State Park — Mom saw a dot in sky on June 30, 2018, It could be a weather balloon or drone.
It was white/oval shaped half metallic with dots. There was white cloud cover then it was gone after being visible for more than an hour.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Canada Lights
Meteghan, Nova Scotia — A bright orange light appeared in the western sky at about 9:55 PM on June 27, 2018. It appeared to burn out and another one appeared.
Then it went out and two appeared. They disappeared at about 10:05 PM.
I was watching with binoculars and saw a plane circling the area and it continued for another half hour.
Santiago de Chile (La Flo) — My best friend walked (trekking) by a hill in the city of Santiago, approximately 2,000 meters above sea level, on August 19, 2017 and took many pictures of the landscape, when he arrived home at night he began to see the photos on his notebook and just then he realized that a photo contained an object in the sky, above the clouds, shaped like a saucer.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Cyprus Object
Limassol– I have been on watch at the bridge, onboard a vessel on April 29, 2018. I’ve seen the object a few degrees north of the setting sun. Its height was about 3 finger lengths from the horizon with my arm extended , at 15 m above sea level. I 1st noticed 3 planes with chemtrails above the sun that was about to set. Then I noticed it at ( 19:30:04-19:31:08 based on time between 1st and last photos) for about 2 minutes . It was hovering, not moving up and down or towards any direction, had no emissions, looked like a flower bud, whitish bright. It could have been 3 times bigger than an airplane in that distance. In all the photos I took it looks solid , enough although the top of it seems to fade out, if not exactly solid , it looked not changing shape . I went in to ask the chief officer to have a look but by this time it has been covered by a cloud. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Easter Island
Hanga Roa — My wife Margareth Boaventura and I were on vacation on Easter Island. We stayed at Hotel Victoria on March 14, 2018, we returned to the hotel and I saw a silver object entering the cloud and I warned my wife. Then my wife saw another object farther on and also disappeared into the cloud. I was able to get only one photo of the unidentified flying object at 5:23 p.m. on March 14, 2018. In the last few days we saw bright strange lights at night that were not airplanes, stars, balloons, or drones. It was strange. On the 14th we saw by day the two silver objects that reflected the light of the Sun. We would like an analysis in the photograph.
Coimbra — After filming the sunset on June 1, 2018 21, 2018, I watched a storm of lightning from which after reviewing the images I noticed several objects. a cylindrical other triangular. the cylindrical one hovered far below the very low black clouds that produced a rain of red color. the black triangular object seemed camouflaged in the clouds beyond the circular shape that seemed to cause electromagnetic discharges from the clouds. see the pictures and the full video. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Orb
Lincoln— I was getting ready for a Dr appointment in my dressing room on June 13, 2018, I looked out the window ( above my mirror ) and saw this very bright shiny silver oval object, I was in total shock, and disbelief I grabbed my IPhone and immediately started filming ….so sorry for my language, I lost sight of the object ,then ran to the back of the house south facing , there I continued filming for just over a minute .. as you will see in the pictures I screenshot the object from the filming I recorded, the three light in a triangle shame we’re not visible to the naked eye, I only noticed this when playing the recording back in very slow second by second motion .I lost sight over the oak tree in my garden ..This is nothing like I have ever seen in my life …

The Book Of Ezekiel And The Flying Chariot of Fire: Misinterpreted Ancient Alien Technology?
The Book Of Ezekiel And The Flying Chariot of Fire: Misinterpreted Ancient Alien Technology?
“I looked and saw a whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire was a glow like amber, and within it was the form of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had a human form…”
One of the most fascinating accounts of ancient flying machines can be found in a very unexpected place, The Bible.
There, in addition to descriptions of what many believe are details of flying machines, we find a number of odd details about ‘misinterpreted technology’ that existed on Earth thousands of years ago.
In the Book of Ezekiel, the prophet describes ‘a flying chariot’ that is supposedly composed of ‘wheels within wheels’ and was powered by no one other than Angels.
The Ancient Astronaut Theory presupposes that this reference is clear evidence of ancient flying machines.
On the other hand, skeptics and Bible scholars argue that the Book of Ezekiel does not describe literally flying machines, but suggest Ezekiel was speaking symbolically about powerful enemies that Israel was facing.
But descriptions of Flying Chariots can be found in a number of other cultures around the globe: The Ancient Hindu Culture for example.
This raises a number of questions. Is it possible that the book of Ezekiel describes mythological enemies?
Or, is it possible, as some authors suggest that the Book of Ezekiel offers the ultimate evidence of ancient alien visitation? And evidence of the existence of flying machines, thousands of years ago?
Ancient Astronauts and Ezekiel
Ezekiel is considered the 6th-century BCE author of the Book of Ezekiel that reveals prophecies about the destruction of Jerusalem, the restoration to the land of Israel, and what some refer to as the Millennial Temple visions or the Third Temple. Ezekiel happens to be one of the protagonists both in the Book of Ezekiel and in the Hebrew Bible. Ezekiel also is a protagonist in Judaism, and also in other Abrahamic Biblical Texts.
History suggests that Ezekiel arrived at Babylon in the first captivity of Israel and is mentioned, in a number of ancient texts, as a great Prophet.
The name Ezekiel means ‘God strengthens’.
One of the key parts of the book of Ezekiel and one of the main reasons why we take into consideration what is written in the book is the fact that The Book of Ezekiel was written in the first person. I saw this. I observed that. I went there.
The book describes something observed in the first person, unlike many other Biblical texts that are written in the third person.
One of the key parts of the Book of Ezekiel is when Ezekiel mentioned witnessing a ‘wheel chariot’ come from the heaven towards him. Inside this wheel chariot were beings with the ‘likeness of man’.
The Book of Ezekiel makes reference of a chariot—a flying vehicle—without clear means of propulsion, although it was powered by divine energy, celestial energy. An energy that moved. An energy that had sound. Those descriptions are interpreted by many people as technology. Modern technology, but it was modern technology that was misinterpreted by people in the past.
If we read the book of Ezekiel, specifically where the chariot of fire is mentioned we will notice its similarity to the landing and/or takeoff of a modern spacecraft. There’s a windstorm, there are flashes of lighting, there are clouds, lights and altogether it’s a magnificent spectacle, especially for someone who lived two thousand years ago.
Furthermore, Ezekiel even describes the composition of the chariot that came down from the heaven as appearing to be made out of glowing metal.
The Book Of Ezekiel, Chariots of Fire, and Spaceships
4I looked and saw a whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire was a glow like amber,
5and within it was the form of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had a human form,
7Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, gleaming like polished bronze.…
8Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four of them had faces and wings…
9and their wings were touching one another. They did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.…
10The form of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and also the face of an eagle.…
11Such were their faces. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching the wings of the creature on either side, and two wings covering its body.…
12Each creature went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they moved.…
13In the midst of the living creatures was the appearance of glowing of coals of fire, or of torches. Fire moved back and forth between the living creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.…
14The creatures were darting back and forth as quickly as flashes of lightning.…
And despite the fact that Ezekiel does his best effort in describing what he witnessed coming frown from heaven, most of the accounts portrayed in the bible artwork leave out key details of Ezekiel’s Flying Chariot; The Fire, the Lightning, and the omnidirectional wheels.
Furthermore, in the Book of Ezekiel we find a crystal-clear description of the mysterious, powerful flying device:
15When I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.
16The workmanship of the wheels looked like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their workmanship looked like a wheel within a wheel.
17As they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved.
18Their rims they were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
19So as the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
20Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
21When the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose alongside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was the shape on an awesome expanse, gleaming like crystal.
As you can see, Ezekiel describes in his book something fascinating coming down from heaven, making the Earth tremble.
It was something, unlike anything he had seen before. It was powerful, it was glowing. From it came beings that resembled humans but were altogether different.
In the 1970’s A NASA scientist called Joseph Blumrich decided he wanted to disprove the idea that Ezekiel witness ed a spaceship coming down from the heaven.
Blumrich was a top-notch NASA scientist who worked on the moon project, and he wa s a rocket engineer. From that standing point, he decided to see what was written down by Ezekiel in the first part of the Book of Ezekiel.
Despite his skepticism, and after months of tedious research and reading, Blumirch eventually concluded that what Ezekiel described in his eyewitness report, was indeed a type of spacecraft.
This conclusion led Blumrich to write a book titled The Spaceships of Ezekiel.
So what did Ezekiel witness, if he witnessed anything at all? Could he have really witnessed a flying chariot and angles resembling human beings?
Or, is it possible, as some like to suggest, that Ezekiel had witnessed, like many before and after him, physical evidence of extraterrestrial beings?
The Book Of Ezekiel And The Flying Chariot of Fire: Misinterpreted Ancient Alien Technology?
In a mission that sounds inspired by the myth of Icarus, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is expected to become the first spacecraft to enter the sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere. Although this daredevil mission has been delayed, the probe now includes an innovative new heat shield that will hopefully improve its odds.
On August 4, Parker Solar Probe will embark on what NASA calls “a mission 60 years in the making,” coming within four million miles of the surface to collect unprecedented data about the sun’s corona. Temperatures for expected to reach nearly 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit at the probe’s upcoming destination, but if the new heat shield is a success, the instruments inside the spacecraft will enjoy a balmy inside temperature of just 85 degrees.
The new and improved heat shield, known as the Thermal Protection System, is made of a lightweight carbon foam core that is flanked by two carbon-carbon composite panels. The sun-facing panel is sprayed with a white coating that will reflect as much of the sun’s energy away from the spacecraft as possible. While the Thermal Protection System was once attached to Parker Solar Probe during testing in 2017, this is the first time the heat shield has been fully integrated with the spacecraft.
The mission is expected to achieve many firsts, traveling nearly seven times closer to the sun than any previous spacecraft. Once launched, Parker Solar Probe will charge towards the sun at over 430,000 miles per hour, making it the fastest man-made object in the solar system. To understand that speed in context, that’s fast enough to travel from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C. in one second, leaving Elon Musk’s wildest dreams for a Hyperloop in the dust.
After launching on August 4, Parker Solar Probe will use Venus’ gravitational pull to shrink its orbit around the sun. These flybys will take roughly seven years, eventually bringing the probe as close as 3.7 million miles from the center of the solar system. Its final loop within the sun’s corona is expected in late 2024.
As part of NASA’s Living with a Star Program, Parker Solar Probe is meant to explore aspects of the sun that directly affect life and society. The results of this mission not only have the potential to improve scientists’ understanding of the sun’s atmosphere, but could mark a historic milestone in society’s longstanding pursuit of Helios.
Most residents of Botswana had no idea that a bright white fireball would explode in the sky on June 2. It lit up the sky as it zoomed through the upper atmosphere, illuminating the region in a strange white glow before it exploded in a flash of light. Since then, researchers have been scouring the area for traces of the asteroid, and on Monday, they announced their success: After days of searching in the desert, they’d found a piece of the once-great fireball.
Asteroid disintegrates over southern Africa
The fragment of asteroid 2018 LA was discovered in Botswana’s Central Kalahari Game Reserve, which, at 20,400 square miles, is the second-largest reserve of its kind in the world. To find it in that enormous swath of the Kalahari desert, researchers from theSETIInstitute, the University of Botswana’s Okavango Research Institute,NASA, and the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa combed throughsurveillancevideos and other footage to calculate the meteor’s exact position and altitude.
They got a headstart by using data collected by the University of Arizona’s Catalina Sky Survey, which actually spotted the asteroid eight hours before it raced toward Earth.
“The biggest uncertainty we faced was to determine where exactly the meteorites fell,” says SETI senior research scientist Peter Jenniskens, Ph.D., a subject expert of the SETI Institute in California, in a statement released Friday. The team discovered that the asteroid broke up into many fragments, which were scattered by the wind. Fortunately, they were able to narrow down the fragments’ whereabouts to a relatively small area of 77 square miles.
From there, the hunt became very low-tech and, at times, quite dangerous. Geoscientists from various Botswana research institutions, guided by Jenniskens, could do nothing but walk through the grass, shrubs, and sand looking for unusual stones while avoiding elephants, snakes, and lions. After five days, Lesedi Seitshiro, a student at Botswana International University of Science and Technology, spotted the small rock in the sand.
Tiny as it is, the meteorite is significant because it’s rare that anyone ever finds pieces of an asteroid first spotted in space. This is only the second time in recorded history that this has happened. In 2009, another team led by Jenniskens discovered pieces of a truck-sized asteroid that had blown up over an 18-mile stretch of the Nubian Desert in 2008. LA 2018, in comparison, was only about six feet across. As such, the Catalina Sky Survey team that spotted it deemed it non-dangerous and didn’t alert anyone, which is why it was such a surprise when the fireball lit up the Botswana sky.
Astronomers detected this small asteroid just 8 hours before it struck Earth’s atmosphere over southern Africa on June 2, 2018, producing a terrific explosion. Now researchers report finding its meteorites.

An international team of researchers in Botswana has found meteorites known to be fragments of asteroid 2018 LA, which astronomers detected just eight hours before it struck Earth’s atmosphere on June 2, 2018. The space rock was captured in videos (such as the one below) as it disintegrated at a height of 30 miles (50 km) in the atmosphere.
After searching for five days, the team found the first meteorite in Botswana’s Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
This is only the third time an asteroid has been detected before striking Earth’s atmosphere, and it’s the second time fragments of the inbound rock have been recovered. The first time was in October 7, 2008, when a 13-foot (4-meter) asteroid, designated as 2008 TC3, exploded over Sudan.
This time, astronomers discovered the small asteroid on a Saturday morning, June 2, and were surprised when its trajectory suggested it would pass very, very close to Earth just hours later. They detected the asteroid with the 60-inch (1.5-meter) telescope at Mt. Lemmon, which is part of the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona.

Trajectory models suggest small asteroid ZLAF9B2 impacted our atmosphere over South Africa on June 2, and U.S. government sensors and satellites confirmed the event. After mounting a search, an international team of researchers has now found fragments of the asteroid.
When it struck Earth’s atmosphere, asteroid 2018 LA produced an explosion with an intensity of about 1 kiloton, which suggests an estimated size for the space rock of 10 to 16 feet (3 to 5 meters) in diameter.
Peter Jenniskens, a meteorite expert from NASA Ames and SETI Institute, along with Jarmo Moilanen and Esko Lyytinen of the Finnish Fireball Network, made calculations to determine the area to search for meteorites.
The space rock will be investigated further by a research consortium of scientists.

Bottom line: Researchers have found meteorite fragments of asteroid 2018 LA in Botswana. The asteroid exploded in the atmosphere over southern Africa on June 2, 2018.
How These Astronauts Had Life-Changing Experiences With Aliens
How These Astronauts Had Life-Changing Experiences With Aliens
How often have we thought about the existence of life beyond Earth, and feared that if we ever encountered extraterrestrial beings, they might wreak all kinds of havoc on our planet, as shown in the movies.
But the pertinent question still remains, do aliens exist?
Some might think the only people who believe in aliens are "forum-dwelling internet conspiracy theorists," but several NASA astronauts believe extraterrestrials exist and have been in touch with humanity for a long period, reports said.
Data cruncher and blogger Sam Monfort in his blog on Feb. 21 said the number of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) sightings is currently at an all-time high. He wrote that one of the first recorded UFO sightings was in Portland in 1905, where a "buzzing sphere-shaped UFO descended from the clouds."
According to Monfort's report, there have been 104,947 reported sightings on record over the past 100-plus years. He used information from the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), which collects and disseminates objective UFO data and keeps careful logs of all UFO sightings worldwide.
Furthermore, there have been several astronauts such as Edgar Mitchell, Cady Coleman, Edwin Buzz Aldrin and Dr Brian O’Leary who have claimed to have seen UFOs. Aldrin, one of the first people to walk on the Moon, had shared his experience on board the Apollo 11, when he and fellow astronauts saw something flying alongside their spacecraft. Initially, they thought it was the final stage of a detached rocket, until mission control confirmed it was 6000 miles away from them.
Buzz Aldrin
Both Neil Armstrong and Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after their historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on July 21, 1969, according to unconfirmed reports. NASA astronaut Armstrong believed aliens have a base on the Moon and they apparently warned Armstrong and others to "get off and stay off the Moon."
During a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session, Aldrin said the "first humans to set foot on Mars should never return to earth."
When one user asked Aldrin if he believed in aliens and asked him about the sightings he saw on board Apollo 11, the astronaut replied: "On Apollo 11 en route to the Moon, I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us. There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world - it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the 4 panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft."
Although Aldrin was reluctant to describe the sighting as an extraterrestrial craft, he believes there are other life forms in space.
Edgar Dean Mitchell
In 1971, Mitchell became the sixth person to walk on the Moon, and the journey spiritually transformed his life in such a way that he devoted much of his time exploring "esoteric realms of science, psychic phenomena and the existence of extraterrestrial beings."
He was convinced after the journey to the Moon that "aliens have been observing us and have been here for some time." Mitchell once even claimed that "peace-loving" aliens had visited Earth to save humanity from nuclear war, and indicated the Vatican knew about the existence of extraterrestrials.
Mitchell, who had been outspoken about his belief in aliens, told Mirror Onlinethat top-ranking military sources had spotted UFOs during weapons tests. He also said that strange crafts flying over missile bases at the White Sands facility have been spotted by military insiders. The facility is a government-owned rocket engine test site where the world's first ever nuclear bomb was detonated in 1945.
Gordon Cooper
Cooper was one of the seven astronauts who took part in Project Mercury, the first human spaceflight program of the U.S., which ran from 1958 to 1963. Cooper, the last American to fly in space alone, had said he spotted UFOs flying over Germany seven years before he went into space.
In 1963, when he shot into space in a Mercury capsule for a 22-orbit journey around the world, Cooper told the tracking station he could see a glowing, greenish object appearing in front of him and approaching his capsule. The UFO was reportedly "real and solid," because even the tracking radar had picked it up, according to syti.net.
According to a taped interview by author, J.L. Ferrando, Cooper revealed how he felt he was living with a secret, which was imposed on all specialists in astronautics. "I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make them public," he said. He added: "Because authority is afraid that people may think of God knows what kind of horrible invaders. So the password still is: We have to avoid panic by all means."
O'Leary, who was one of the 11 astronauts named for a possible NASA Mars mission in the 1960s, authored three books that spoke about our connection to UFOs. He had also lectured on the subject across the world.
Regarding crop circles that he first saw in 1991 in England, he said in an interview: "The Crop Circle phenomenon, besides the hoaxed ones, is a very real phenomenon created by some unknown, probably non-human intervention," according to UFO Evidence.
O’Leary is also reported to have said, "There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted. Civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time and that their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view.”
'Apollo' Unpacks Urban Legends, Gossip, Speculation Behind First Moon Landing
'Apollo' Unpacks Urban Legends, Gossip, Speculation Behind First Moon Landing
By Forrest Helvie, Newsarama Contributor
"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
- Neil Armstrong.
We all know the famous words associated with the first moon landing from 1969, but how many of us know the real story behind those early space explorers?
Newsarama spoke with writers Chris Baker and Matt Fitch about "Apollo," which they completed with artist Mike Collins. The duo explained why this was a story they were excited to tell and the ways in which they might surprise readers with a chapter from our school history books that we already know … or do we?
Newsarama: "Apollo" aims unpacks the urban legends, the gossip, and speculation surrounding the historical moon landing that Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins were involved in back in 1969. Matt, Chris, In truth, are most American really aware of their being much "gossip and speculation" around this event? What led you to want to explore this little known "story behind the story"?
Matt Fitch: Most people know the broad strokes of the story but what we were interested in were the elements that you might not find in the official accounts - the resentment Buzz held against Neil for being first out of the Lunar Lander, the program being used as a political tool, the fact that not everybody in America thought it was a particularly good use of tax-payers money and wanted it shut down… overall the story is positive and full of hope, but when you look a little deeper, it isn't always as 'star-spangled' as the history books would have us believe.
Chris Baker: One piece of gossip we often hear is that the moon landing didn't happen. We didn't want to give this silly urban legend credence by overtly referencing it in the book but we hope that by exploring this piece of history on a more human level we can make people believe once and for all that this was a real event involving real people. They breathed, they felt, they loved. You can't fake that.
Nrama: Of the historical characters involved, whose narrative arc did you find most compelling and why?
Fitch: When Chris and I started writing "Apollo" I'd just become a new father, so Neil Armstrong's loss of his young daughter resonated strongly with me. He never admitted it himself, but many believe that this tragedy was what led him to throw himself into the space race and ultimately walk on the moon. Neil was an "everyman" and very easy to relate to, so using his arc to explore universal concepts of life, death and rebirth was something that I found very compelling.
Baker: Mike Collins (the astronaut, not the artist!), for me personally, was the most fun. He is that forgotten American hero. Because his story is largely untold, we felt most comfortable getting inventive with him. He had a list of jobs, which were pivotal to the mission, and we explored their importance. He ultimately succeeded and confronted the demons racing through his mind.
Nrama: By and large, the comic itself concerns itself with historical fact, or at least, realistic accounts of what took place surrounding the moonwalk in 1969. What sources did you use to help develop the dialogue we hear between son and father, husband and wife, and President and First Lady?
Fitch: Our main 'source' was our imaginations. Anybody can read up about these events on Wikipedia, but as writers, we wanted to put ourselves and our readers into the shoes of the key characters. How would Neil's wife Janet be feeling as her husband blasted off into the unknown? How would she act around other people? What would she say to her children? How would Apollo 11's message of peace and unity go down with the soldiers fighting in Vietnam? What would the loving wife of the President say to calm her husband on the eve of the launch as the press and naysayers closed in? As writers, it was up to us to give voices to these characters.
Baker: The conversation between the President and First Lady was something of a guess based on our understanding of the people and the way America reacts to events and assigns praise or blame. Richard Nixon was a man with a chip on his shoulder, and this scene used that. It's us using creative license to speculate about what a private conversation might sound like based on our understanding of the historical figures.
Nrama: There is one page in particular that seemed especially of interest when President Nixon recounts to his wife how the success of the Apollo mission would be attributed to John F. Kennedy but its failure would rest on him. How accurate would you say Nixon's assessment was given where we are now?
Fitch: Nowadays, when you think of the moon, you think of Kennedy. He was the man with the vision to get the ball rolling. Nixon… well, he'll be remembered for other things, won't he?
Baker: The whole thing feels a bit tainted by his presence when you stop and think. This 'crooked' guy has his signature on the moon right now. But the world may have remembered him if the mission failed.
Nrama: Because we're focusing on an historical account, it makes sense for the artwork to adopt a more realistic style for the story. Yet, there are times when Mike Collins deviates from a more linear approach especially with some of the flashback and dream sequences. Can you share your thoughts on why the decision was made to go in this direction, and how do you think it helps further tell the story of Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins?
Fitch: We wanted there to be a clear delineation between the more factual 'present day' mission scenes and the more 'point of view' nature of the flashbacks, so we worked with Mike, as well as colourists Kris Carter and Jason Cardy, to create a subtle change in style between certain scenes, which we think goes a long way to helping the reader get under the skin of what the characters were going through in those moments.
Baker: The art needed to adapt to the mood of the script to create the glowing dreamlike state the narrative is set up to be. The 'dream' sequences were purposely written to be less linear, with a looser panel structure and more whimsical, dreamlike dialogue.
Nrama: The Ben Day Dots were one method Kris and Jason used to help set the tone for the story. How else did you and both along with Collins and the art team help immerse the reader in the setting of the story?
Fitch: We originally approached Mike to draw "Apollo" because his overall style lent itself well to the classic comic book look we were aiming for. But what we didn't know when we gave him the script was that he was a keen space historian himself and knew the details of the mission inside out! Between the three of us we made sure that everything on the page, from the ships to the spacesuits to the switches on the flight consoles were accurate so that readers could be fully immersed in the world of the story.
Baker: We also made sure that all the dialogue was authentic to the era. Some of the in-ship stuff is adapted from actual NASA transcripts, but everything else came from us and we didn't want to ruin the experience for anybody by getting the lingo wrong! It was fun to research and write.
Nrama: For a final thought, what do you think it is about the 1969 moon landing that makes it a story worth telling almost fifty years after the event?
Fitch: The moon landing shows what we as a species can do when we put our mind to it. At the time, the optimists believed setting foot on another world would usher in an era of peace on this one. Sadly, that reality hasn't emerged yet, but maybe by reminding ourselves what we're capable of it can one day.
Baker: Nothing close to setting foot on another world has happened in nearly 50 years. This story is awe-inspiring and could do with more light on it. It was an adventure just reading about these three incredible men and having a chance to enhance and dramatically interpret their personal stories, and we hope to pass on some of that awe to our own readers.
HELSINKI, Finland — A senior designer with the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology has presented updated details for an upcoming series of new rockets to expand China's launch capabilities, including super-heavy-lift and reusable rockets.
Long Lehao, a chief designer with CALT, a major launch vehicle institute under the main contractor for China's space activities, revealed the details in a lecture at Tsinghua University in Beijing on May 31.
Long gave an overview of the history and progress of Chinese launch vehicles before providing updates on new projects under development, notably the Long March 9.
The Long March 9 will be a Saturn V-class super-heavy-lift rocket comparable in capacity to the Space Launch System currently being developed under NASA.
According to Long, the Long March 9 will be capable of lifting 140 metric tons to low Earth orbit, 50 tons to Earth-Moon transfer orbit, and 44 tons to Earth-Mars transfer orbit.
The 93-meter-high Long March 9 is expected to have a launch mass of over 4,000 metric tons, producing close to 6,000 tons of thrust.
The core stage will have a diameter of 10 meters while four boosters will each have a diameter of up to 5 meters. This would make the boosters comparable to the Long March 5, China's largest rocket so far, which debuted in 2016 and last July suffered a first stage engine issue that prompted a redesign. A third flight of the rocket is expected around November.
The Long March 9 is slated to be ready for a test flight around 2030, with Long adding that progress on the project includes successful forging of 10-meter-diameter alloy rings and breakthroughs related to 500-ton-thrust kerosene-liquid oxygen and 220-ton-thrust hydrolox engines.
Crewed lunar landings, Mars sample return
Escape Velocity - A Quick History of Space Exploration
The first major mission of the Long March 9 is expected to be a single-launch Mars sample return mission, while the rocket is also being designed to facilitate lunar missions, including crewed landings.
CALT has previously said that it is studying a mission profile which would see the Long March 5B—a variant of the Long March 5 to be used for low-Earth orbit launches, including lofting modules for the country's space station—be used to launch the crewed spacecraft which would then rendezvous in LEO with the lunar spacecraft stack launched by the Long March 9 ahead of trans-lunar injection.
Toward this goal, two versions of a new generation crewed spacecraft are being developed, with a scale return-capsule test having been carried out in 2016. The debut of the Long March 5B, expected to follow a successful return-to-flight of the Long March 5, will include a new test related to the spacecraft in summer 2019.
Long also stated that the Long March 9 would be able to launch components for a space-based solar power system, a project which has been previously stated by senior Chinese aerospace and military figures to be under consideration.
Move to reusability
Long explained in the lecture that the Long March 8 would be CALT's first rocket to attempt first stage reusability, which will launch for the first time in 2021.
As previously reported, the Long March 8 is based on the existing Long March rockets, using a core very similar to that of the 3.35-meter-diameter Long March 7, a new-generation medium-lift rocket that had its maiden flight in 2016, with the second stage to be based on the 3-meter-diameter liquid hydrogen-liquid oxygen second stage of the older Long March 3A. The rocket will also use two solid propellant boosters, likely based on the Long March 11.
Long stated that both the first stage and boosters will attempt vertical landing.
The Long March 8 was originally intended to be an expendable rocket to increase China's lift capacity for launches to sun-synchronous orbits, but the plans have changed to allow China to experiment with vertical landing and reusability.
China launched its first satellite into space in 1970, with a Long March 1 putting the Dongfanghong-1 satellite into orbit. The country has since developed a series of Long March rockets, which take their name from a mythologized retreat by the Red Army of the Communist Party of China in the 1930s.
The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), which owns CALT, released a long-term space transportation roadmap in fall 2017 which stated 2035 as the target for achieving full reusability for its launch vehicles. Long did not, however, appear to comment on the possible reusability of the Long March 9.

Enormous Flash after Ball Of Fire changes direction over ocean Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
Enormous Flash after Ball Of Fire changes direction over ocean Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
An enormous flash has been seen in the Rio Grande do Norte sky intrigued residents of several cities on Saturday night, July 7, 2018 around 10:35 pm.
Residents of the cities of Mossoró, Areia Branca, Assú, Baraúna, Severiano Melo and even in Ceará cities like Icapui said they had witnessed the flash.
The first information is that a ball of fire suddenly appeared upon which it changed direction before falling towards the ocean, eventually hitting the ocean.
"I saw it clearly here on the beach of São Cristóvão and it lit up all the sea. It seemed to me an explosion of something in space," reported witness Daniel Fortunato.
At first glance it looks like a meteorite but since meteorites are not changing direction the question arises what it could have been that exploded over the ocean.
This unexplained event comes shortly after a mysterious object splashed into the ocean off shore Washington.
Enormous Fireball Is Seen In The Sky Over Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. July 7, 2018
“The mutated bacteria showed high aggressiveness and resistance to antibiotics on their return to Earth.”
So, you may ask … why on Earth did Russian scientists bring these mutant bacteria back to Earth? For the answer, you have to attend the COSPAR 2018 convention being held July 12-22 in Pasadena, California. At this, the 60th anniversary of the first meeting of the International Committee for Space Research, the Russian scientists responsible for the mutant bacteria will present a paper about “Biorisk” (didn’t anyone look at the name before sending it back?), a 31-month experiment where eggs of crustaceans and African carp fish were sent to the International Space Station, placed in a container on the outside of it, exposed to 2.5 years of cosmic rays, brought back to Earth, hatched and then asked, “How did that make you feel?”
“In this way, it can be concluded that after the exposure of microorganisms to hostile conditions typical for the open cosmic space, the most resistant and aggressive strains survive.”
The results of the latest experiment confirmed what earlier tests found (yes, Biorisk has actually been on the ISS since 2005) — that bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis which spent time in space came back resistant to 6 out of 8 antibacterial products (no word on whether Purell was one of them – keep scrubbing!). The tougher eggs and embryos of other creatures were also more inclined to be the survivors, and they came back even stronger and more aggressive.
OK, we’ve heard enough. We believe. You can stop bringing the Biorisk mutants back to Earth … before it’s too late.
“The experiment is conducted to confirm the theory of panspermia. According to her, in space, spores of microorganisms are scattered, which move under the pressure of light rays, and falling into the sphere of gravity of the planet, settle on its surface and lay the beginning of the living on this planet. According to this theory, life could be brought to Earth from space. Probably the hit of living organisms of extraterrestrial origin with meteorites and cosmic dust.”
If you accept the idea of panspermia, then it’s too late. However, if you accept panspermia, then the life on Earth that descended from it should be better able to coexist with any life forms it encounters in space or from space — because we may all be related. Right? RIGHT?
If that’s the case, instead of fearing mutant space bacteria, we should welcome them to Thanksgiving dinners, family reunions and summer picnics. If they’re truly space-toughened, they should have no trouble with undercooked turkey or potato salad that’s been out in the sun too long.
Russian Scientists Warn Earth Must Defend Itself From Mutant Space Bacteria
Get ready for another round of doomsday predictions. A comet en-route to our solar system has dramatically increased in brightness and carries with it a giant, glowing green atmosphere twice the size of Jupiter, according to astronomers. The comet, PANSTARRS (C/2017 S3), is visible with low power telescopes now, but if it does continue to increase in brightness it may be visible to the naked eye in parts of the northern hemisphere in early August. It might also disintegrate due to the gas cloud, and as it’s the first time the comet has passed through our solar system, there’s no telling what might happen when the comet’s visit brings it inside Mercury’s orbit and it takes a face-full of unfiltered sunshine.
Comet PANSTARRS C/2017 S3 in Outburst - Its Atmosphere is Twice as Wide as the Planet Jupiter
Comet PanSTARRS (C/2017 S3), which had been chillin’ at magnitude 12.5, experienced an outburst some time on June 30th, rocketing to magnitude ~9.5 overnight. Located in Camelopardalis northeast of the Double Cluster, it was super obvious in the 15-inch [telescope] at low power on July 2.18 UT, appearing as a dense, tailless cotton ball about 3′ across. It looked suspiciously “gassy,” so I applied the Swan Band filter and both the brightness and size of the coma increased, a sure sign of a gas blast from the outburst.
Comet C/2017 S3 may reach magnitude 3 or 4 as it speeds sun-ward in the morning sky en route to an August 16th perihelion. Keep an eye on it…and expect the unexpected. The outburst could continue or even trigger the comet’s disintegration.
The comet’s approach will bring it inside Mercury’s orbit.
A gas outburst in this case refers to a crack or other sudden leak in a comet’s ice surface, which releases gas previously trapped in pressurized caverns. This gas reflects light and a continuing outburst may either increase the comet’s brightness to visible levels, inevitably sparking fearful YouTube videos and a non-trivial amount of references to Nibiru or it may just disintegrate before we get a chance to see it. Easy come, easy go.
Even if it never reaches brightness visible to the naked eye, you’ll still be able to see it with binoculars, according to Bob King:
As it scurries east through Auriga and Gemini C/2017 S3 quickly becomes a binocular object at magnitude 7. Even as it brightens rapidly, possibly reaching 6th magnitude on August 7th on its way to perihelion (August 16th), dawn encroaches. We’ll probably get our last views when it passes Castor and Pollux on August 4–5 before twilight and daylight finish it off. Thereafter the comet remains near the Sun and rapidly fades from view.

If you’re interested in trying to observe the comet, there’s more information on how to do so and where in the world the comet will be visible from at Sky and Telescope.
