Geheim ruimtevliegtuig X-37B gespot boven Leiden. Bekijk hier de foto’s
Geheim ruimtevliegtuig X-37B gespot boven Leiden. Bekijk hier de foto’s
Het mysterieuze ruimtevliegtuig X-37B van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht is door satellietspotter Marco Langbroek waargenomen boven Leiden.
Hoewel details over de omloopbaan van het vliegtuig geheim worden gehouden, is Langbroek er zeker van dat hij het op camera heeft vastgelegd, zo laat hij weten aan Space.com.
Volgens de satellietspotter vloog het mysterieuze vliegtuig op een hoogte van 300 tot 325 kilometer, in een zeer lage baan.

Bij eerdere missies vloog de X-37B op ongeveer dezelfde hoogte, aldus Langbroek. Het ruimtevliegtuig werd op 7 september 2017 gelanceerd vanaf het Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Het toestel cirkelt dus al bijna een jaar om de aarde.
Hoewel het Amerikaanse leger niets kwijt wil over de huidige missie, blijkt uit gelekte informatie dat zich aan boord van het vaartuig een warmtemanagementsysteem bevindt. Dat zou momenteel in de ruimte worden getest.
Raadsels
De Amerikaanse luchtmacht heeft twee van deze ruimtevliegtuigen, die allebei zijn gebouwd door Boeing.
De X-37B is met raadsels omgeven. Volgens sommigen wordt het gebruikt om andere landen te bespioneren, terwijl anderen zeggen dat het satellieten kan uitschakelen.
Wanneer je naar een octopus kijkt dan zie je een wezen dat er vreemd uitziet en in niets lijkt op welk ander dier op deze planeet.
Een nieuw wetenschappelijk onderzoek stelt dat de octopus miljoenen jaren geleden als een bevroren ei naar de aarde is gekomen door middel van kometen. (Redactie: Dat lijkt de standaard verklaring voor fenomenen die niet te verklaren zijn voor wetenschappers.)
Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd door 33 wetenschappers die de resultaten hebben gepubliceerd in het zogenaamde peer-reviewed journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology.
Zij komen tot de conclusie dat leven hier op aarde is ontstaan door wat zij noemen “levendragende” kometen. Dit gebeurde op een moment dat de atmosfeer op aarde geschikt was om leven te kunnen herbergen en dat was zo’n 270 miljoen jaar geleden, volgens hen.
Een van de levensvormen die zo van buiten de aarde op onze planeet terecht is gekomen, zou de octopus zijn, een dier met 3 harten, 9 stel hersenen en blauw bloed.
Met dit in het achterhoofd is het volgende verhaal helemaal niet zo vreemd. Het vertelt dat het voorval plaatsvond op het strand in Portugal, maar als je zoekt op de naam Cyrene Beach dat wordt genoemd, kom je uit bij een Egyptische badplaats aan de Rode Zee.
Het artikel is van enkele dagen geleden, maar na het zoeken van de originele opname blijkt het voorval al vijf jaar geleden te hebben plaatsgevonden. Desalniettemin is het een prachtig voorbeeld van intelligentie bij dieren en in dit geval de octopus.
De man, Pei Yan Hang, loopt op het strand en ziet daar een kleine octopus, niet in staat om de zee weer te bereiken en die wachtte op een zekere dood.
De man liep gelukkig niet door, maar gebruikte een plastic kop om de kleine octopus voorzichtig op te pakken en weer los te laten bij het water.
Wat er dan gebeurt is te zien in de volgende video en het is niet voor niets deze video inmiddels bijna 12 miljoen keer is bekeken.

Astronomer Jan Kowsky managed to capture in just one night, from August 15 to 16, 2018, images and videos of almost all rare atmospheric phenomena, including sprites, elves, airglow, meteors, fireballs, northern lights over Irbit, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia.
Moon-mining enthusiasts were particularly gleeful this week when researchers claimed that they had found definitive evidence that water ice exists on the surface of the Moon. There’s even more water ice than we thought up there, too, and we know exactly where a lot of it is. That may make it even easier to mine this water in the future.
Long before this discovery, researchers have been eager to scoop up any water that may be lurking on the lunar surface. It’s a resource that could be incredibly valuable for future long-term missions on the Moon since water is essential for life to function here on Earth. It could be recycled inside a lunar habitat or used for drinking water or bathing. It could also be used to help plants grow on the Moon, which are needed to nourish future lunar inhabitants.
But perhaps the biggest and most immediate application for lunar water is making rocket propellant. The main components of water — hydrogen and oxygen — are two of the biggest materials that are used to power rockets right now. And making rocket propellant out of the water on the Moon could drastically cut down on the cost of doing ambitious missions in space. Right now, rockets leaving Earth must carry all the propellant they need with them. But by leveraging lunar ice, rockets could potentially refuel once they get to space, allowing them to reach distant locations for less money.
“The idea would be to get a sort of supply chain started outside of Earth for certain products — in particular, for water as a propellant — so that it could be much easier to navigate to space from one body to another,” Julie Brisset, a research associate at the Florida Space Institute, tells The Verge.
Getting anything into space is expensive. If you want your satellite to break free of Earth’s gravity, you need a lot of propellant to fuel the ride to orbit. In fact, most of the weight of a rocket at launch is just the propellant needed to get the thing into space. And the deeper into space you want to go, the more propellant you need. Greater energy is needed to get farther and farther away from the planet’s pull. So missions into deeper space become even more costly to pay for all the extra propellant needed to get there and the bigger rocket to house that propellant.
But what if instead of taking all the propellant you need with you from Earth, you refill your gas tank with propellant that’s already in space? Then, deep-space missions become more like cross-country road trips. “Just imagine if you had to drive out to Denver and there were no gas stations along the way and you had to bring all your gas with you from New York,” George Sowers, a professor at the Colorado School of Mines and former vice president at the United Launch Alliance, tells The Verge. “You probably couldn’t do it in your car. You would have to tow all the fuel you need.” That’s why the idea of lunar mining is so enticing. Water from the Moon could be mined, broken apart into rocket fuel, and transported to a propellant depot either near the Moon or in low Earth orbit. Then, rockets wouldn’t have to be so big to house all their propellant. They could simply dock with a depot and refuel for longer trips to space.
Transporting propellant from the Moon to other locations in space is nowhere near as pricey as transporting it from Earth. The Moon has one-sixth the gravity of Earth, meaning it takes less energy to break away from the surface. Sowers recently did an analysis on how much it would cost to transport lunar propellant to different locations from space. And getting lunar water to low Earth orbit, for instance, is still cheaper than sending it from Earth, even though our planet is closer. “If you’re going to use that propellant in low Earth orbit, it’s still maybe a 20 or 30 percent savings, using lunar propellant versus Earth propellant,” says Sowers.
Scientists have been fantasizing about turning lunar water into rocket fuel for decades now, as evidence has mounted that the lunar poles may be prime for mining. In 1994, a joint probe from NASA and the US military called Clementine found evidence that water exists in craters at the Moon’s poles. These places never see the Sun’s light and never reach temperatures above -250 degrees Fahrenheit. Multiple missions to the Moon since have indicated that water may be present in these locations as well. In 2009, NASA slammed a spacecraft called LCROSS into a crater at the Moon’s south pole, to see what kind of materials the impact kicked up. NASA found that there was about 5 percent water in what was ejected.

However, research published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences indicates that some areas of the Moon may be overflowing in water. Researchers at the University of Hawaii and Brown University analyzed data gathered from India’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, which launched to the Moon in 2008. Using one of the vehicle’s instruments, they were able to pinpoint areas of ice on the Moon by measuring the reflectiveness of the water. They also observed these locations in infrared light, which allowed them to determine if the water was in ice form and not vapor or a liquid. Not only did they confirm that water ice is exposed on the lunar surface, but some areas of the ground are made up of 20 to 30 percent ice. Depending on how deep into the surface the ice goes, that could be ample fodder for rocket propellant.
“We really don’t need to be that concentrated everywhere,” says Phil Metzger, planetary physicist at the University of Central Florida and co-founder of NASA’s Swamp Works at Kennedy Space Center. “We only need some locations to be higher concentration in order to have enough water to provide all of the space transportation needs for the next 30 years.”
A propellant depot in low Earth orbit opens up a lot of opportunities for new kinds of missions in space. One idea is something called a space tug — a rocket that stays in space, refueling over and over, in order to ferry satellites to their final destinations. Right now, satellites going into high orbits above Earth are deployed into an initial transfer orbit and then spend six months to a year slowly raising themselves higher with onboard thrusters. During that time, the satellite can’t do its job, so it doesn’t make any money. But with a space tug, satellites could be deployed into much lower orbits with smaller rockets, and then a reusable rocket already in space could “tug” the probe to its final orbit in just a few days. That saves satellite operators money: they don’t need as big of a rocket to get their payload into space, and they have more time to make money from their probes.
So yes, Moon-water-as-fuel is appealing, but it won’t be easy to start mining water in space. First, there needs to be an extensive prospecting campaign. Thanks to the PNAS study, researchers have basically created a map showing where to find the juiciest chunks of water ice at the lunar poles. The next step is to send landers and rovers to those areas to figure out the best location to target and what the consistency of the ice is. Scientists still don’t know if the ice is in the form of slush mixed in with the dirt or if it’s like solid bricks fused together with other surface material. “We know how to design the equipment to extract it. We just don’t know which set of equipment to use,” says Metzger.
NASA has been working on robot designs that could be used to scoop up Moon and Mars dirt. Image: NASA
One idea is scooping up the lunar soil with an excavation robot that hauls the materials to a processor. That processor then separates the ice from the soil through heating and breaks the water into its basic parts with electricity. Some of the resulting fuel is then used to launch the rest of the water off of the Moon on a transport vehicle, sending it to whatever propellant depot needs it in space.
Of course, all of this will be expensive. “It comes down to a cost analysis,” says Metzger. “Is it cheaper to launch rocket fuel from the Earth, or is it cheaper to launch the equipment into space one time and then maintain that equipment and use it to continually create rocket fuel in space?” Based on analysis done by Metzger, Brisset, and Sowers, they estimate that it’ll take a decade for investing in Moon mining to be profitable. But because lunar mining is so risky, it’s possible not a lot of venture capitalists will want to jump in right away.
That’s why the team suggests that NASA should get involved by partially funding early mining development efforts. That way, commercial investors will be more likely to pitch in if a credible government agency is involved and bearing some of the costs.
NASA wouldn’t just be doing investors a favor, either: the space agency has suggested that it might need up to 100 metric tons of propellant each year to power vehicles leaving the lunar surface from a base, according to Sowers’ analysis. If they had to ship all of that from Earth, it would cost around $3.5 billion per year. The savings from making Moon fuel could make missions to the Moon and Mars cheaper. “It would make Mars missions lower cost, and it makes pretty much everything we do beyond Earth affordable,” says Sowers. For example, using lunar propellant to refuel rockets would lower the cost of going to the Moon from Earth by a factor of three, according to Sowers. That’s an important detail, given NASA is looking to do human missions to the Moon once again.
“I’ve been saying for years now that water is the oil of space,” says Sowers, adding: “If NASA’s plans are to create a permanent human presence on the Moon, the first thing NASA needs to do is build a production facility for propellant.”
Some have theorized that we made contact with a form of intelligent life but they aren't from outer space, they are ultraterrestrials from other dimensions. AMR IMAGE/GETTY IMAGES
People have been looking for signs of intelligent life in our universe for decades to no avail. Many believe the reason we haven't been successful is because our universe is just too vast for us to find extraterrestrials.
But others say we're just not looking in the right place. Meaning we shouldn't even be focusing on searching for life on other planets — but we should instead be searching for life in other dimensions. Stuff They Don't Want You To Know hosts Ben Bowlin, Noel Brown and Matt Frederick tackle particle physics, superstring theory and parallel dimensions in this podcast What are Ultraterrestrials?
Particle physics seeks to explain the origins of the universe and the fundamental building blocks of matter by studying the irreducibly small particles that make up atoms. It's often called the theory of everything, working toward one single elegant solution to explain how matter and energy work.
In the Standard Model of physics, particles are understood to be point-like, like impossibly tiny dots. The Standard Model is still theoretical because there's still a lot we don't understand about the force of gravity. String theory is another model of physics, where instead of dots, particles are actually tiny strings, all vibrating together to create size and mass.
But for string theory to be accurate, it means there could be more than 10 dimensions, instead of the four we're used to experiencing: length, width, depth and time. Some of these dimensions could theoretically be places where the Big Bang never happened and the universe had an entirely different starting point. What would a creature from a dimension like that look like to humans from the fourth dimension? Lovecraftian monsters? Demogorgons?
Or maybe demons, or fairies from folklore? The late ufologist John Keel was a believer in extraterrestrials, but moved away from that after a time. He began to think that all the stories from folklore and religious texts were actually proof that humanity has indeed made contact with another form of intelligent life, but that they weren't from outer space. Instead, they were beings from other dimensions: Ultraterrestrials. Keel theorized that these beings could shape shift to look like anything, and attributed them to stories of demons, monsters, angels, ogres and changelings. He thought these ultraterrestrials likely had a sense of right and wrong, and that they were capable of manipulating mankind.
But why? If there are ultraterrestrials, what would be the motivation of a fifth, sixth or seventh dimension creature coming to the fourth dimension to make mischief? And how do they move between dimensions? Keel thought there were magnetic anomalies that made it easier for ultraterrestrials to materialize, but wasn't sure how they got to the fourth dimension.
What do you think? Does it make sense — or sound like nonsense? To hear all about the complex science and infinite possibilities of utraterrestrials and fifth, sixth and seventh dimensions, listen to the entire podcast as Ben, Noel and Matt delve deep into the strange theory of ultraterrestrials.

Instead of cave dwellers gathered around a campfire, roasting mastodon meat, imagine an octopus tribe floating around a hydrothermal vent at the seafloor, boiling lobsters.
That’s the scenario sketched out by Dirk Schulze-Makuch, an astrobiologist at Germany’s Technical Institute Berlin who’s also an adjunct professor at Arizona State University and Washington State University.
Earth’s oceans provide an example in the form of cephalopods. Octopuses and squid are thought to have evolved strictly in the oceans, in contrast to dolphins and whales, which spent part of their evolutionary history on land. Octopuses are also arguably tool users, based on what they can do with coconut shells.
Under the right conditions, could such water-dwelling creatures develop technology on an alien water world? That may be more challenging than it was for our forebears, Schulze-Makuch says.
“Fire can’t exist underwater, and fire is thought to have been essential for humans to develop technology,” Schulze-Makuch notes. However, there’s one potential avenue that he and co-author William Bains explore in their book, “The Cosmic Zoo: Complex Life on Many Worlds.”
“Perhaps smart ocean creatures could use thermal vents on an alien planet’s seafloor to supply concentrated heat energy,” Schulze-Makuch says. “Such energy wouldn’t be as portable or controllable as fire, but the underwater civilization could farm fish without fire, or perhaps use other resources to make tools and technology. As an example, long strands of kelp could be ideal for making rope.”
The prospect of finding life on water worlds isn’t merely a matter for science-fiction speculation: Astrobiologists suspect that hydrothermal activity could support life within the hidden oceans of Europa and Enceladus, ice-covered moons that orbit Jupiter and Saturn.
Live footage from the International Space Station (ISS) appeared to show the apparent structures speed up and change shape.
And conspiracy theorists are convinced the clip shows the Black Knight, a hypothersised extra terrestrial satellite.
The ISS, an artificial satellite in low Earth orbit launched in 1998, is a space research laboratory in which crew members from various nations experiment in areas such biology, physics and astronomy.
However in this instance the two seemingly metallic objects are caught on camera for seven minutes before the camera cuts out.
One YouTube commentator said: “At first I thought lens flare or dust on the lens, but after four minutes they looked more and more like solid 3D objects.
“Very good capture and very interesting.
"Solar guardians?”
Another said: “Looks to me these flares clearly have structure.
“Secret space program.”

BLACK KNIGHT: Has the space station camera captured mystery satellite
“Secret space program.”
The objects have been described as simply flares from a camera lens, the Hubble satellite or the Black Knight.
Extraterrestrials control the supposed satellite and it has been orbiting the Earth for 13,000 years, according to wild theories online.
A famous photo in 1998 captured during a space shuttle mission is said to show the Black Knight.
Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera could make intergalactic history this fall. If she wins Tuesday’s primary in Florida she would be in position to become the first person elected to Congress who says she was once abducted by aliens.
That possibility has given immense pleasure to one of Washington D.C.’s most peculiar lobbying shops: the Paradigm Research Group, which advocates for discussing and unveiling “facts surrounding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.”
“This is a milestone,” Stephen Bassett, executive director of the group, said of Aguilera’s candidacy. “If she were to win the election, she would be the first open contactee to serve in Congress.”
Aguilera, a Republican, is running in Florida’s 27th Congressional District, a Miami-area seat being vacated by Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. She is not a fringe figure. The Miami Herald endorsed her candidacy recently. But even in doing so, they acknowledged she is a bit “unusual.”
That’s because Aguilera has asserted that as a child, she was taken aboard a UFO by aliens who looked like the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil. In a series of YouTube videos, Aguilera said the aliens told her “God is a universal energy, not a person,” that the center of the world’s energy is in Africa and that thousands of non-human skulls were discovered in a cave on Malta.
“I stick to my guns when I believe in something,” she told the Associated Press in a recent interview, also claiming that she has been communicating with the extra-terrestrials telepathically after the abduction.
Now a business consultant, Aguilera said she doesn’t want to be defined by the happenstances she said occurred when she was just seven years old. “It has nothing to do with what I have done,” she told the AP.
But for Bassett, this is not a topic from which to shy away. Instead, it represents a watershed moment and the culmination of the work done by his group, which was founded in 1996. He said that Aguilera is part of a larger story about the ultimate lifting of the “truth embargo,” during which time the government will reveal what it has hidden about extraterrestrials. The problem, for now at least, is that everyone is too preoccupied with the ongoing scandals of the White House to pay attention.
“The biggest story in human history is taking place right now, the ultimate end of the truth embargo,” Bassett said. “The Trump hurricane is simply sucking everything up.”
Despite the chance to achieve fuller enlightenment about the scope of our universe —or, at least, the occupants within it—Bassett is, for now, playing it cool. There are no plans to campaign with Aguilera, he said, lest it backfire.
“I don’t want to make anything more difficult for her,” he explained. “It’s one of those things in retrospect that will be seen as a big deal but in the current moment not a big deal"
The Kaikoura Lights remain one of New Zealand's biggest mysteries.

There have been 30 sightings of unidentified flying objects reported to the Civil Aviation Authority CAA) since the dawn of the millennium.
Auckland had the most sightings - seven - followed by Hamilton and Christchurch with three each.
The first sighting since the millennium bug failed to strike took place in Wellington on June 1, 2000, in Evans Bay. While the CAA document supplied to Newshub doesn't go into any detail, the Press in 2010 reported there were two ships - one "a small triangular shape with an orange light at the back and a white beam of light at the front" and the other "larger, with a white light".
A witness said the larger "mothership" beamed a light across Evans Bay Pde.
The next reported sighting didn't come until October 26, 2003, when a "disc-shaped silver UFO with erratic vertical and horizontal movements" was seen in Tauranga. According to the witness, it entered via the city's harbour and hung around Seventh Ave.
Later that year in November, a bright light was seen moving side-to-side on two days in row at Tokomaru Bay.

In 2004, Auckland got its first UFO of the new millennium - red, green and white lights seen in Mt Richmond, with nothing showing up on radar. And down in Whanganui, two objects were seen flying "very high" without making any noise or leaving a vapour trail.
In 2007, several people at St Cuthbert's College in Auckland's swanky Epsom saw "UFO-type bright lights" near the Southern Cross constellation, while Palmerston North had a slightly less impressive report of "an aircraft or UFO".
In 2009, a witness in the small Manawatu town of Kimbolton saw a UFO "similar to a light aircraft but with flames coming out of it", which shouldn't be happening.
In 2011 a North Shore resident saw something similar - a "red fiery ball about a third the size of the moon" moving southeast at low speed. Meanwhile, a "fast-moving" UFO wowed Lower Hutt residents in the early hours of the morning.
The following year 10 bright but silent UFOs were spotted west of Hamilton, and a fast-moving craft with a light at the front was spotted in Seddon. Down south in Dunedin, a "bright light" was seen falling from the sky, getting bigger as it got closer to the ground.
2013 was a bumper year for UFO spotters in New Zealand. Two silent lights were seen in Cambridge, four orange lights travelling in unision about a kilometre apart wowed Christchurch, and a strange light appeared more than once over Whangaruru Bay in the Far North.

There were also sightings in the Bay of Plenty and Masterton. In Greytown, witnesses were concerned a UFO that appeared the week before Christmas "may be a hazard", while "UFO movement [was] quite heavy over Hamilton central".
In 2014, a reported UFO seen in west Auckland was probably an internet-carrying Loon balloon, the CAA said. There were also sightings in Christchurch and west Hamilton.
Over the next couple of years an orange "blob" was seen over Orewa, a red and orange light in Harewood, Christchurch, and a UFO that looked like a "dark coloured blimp-shaped balloon" about a metre long came close to a passing aircraft.
New Zealand's most infamous UFO sighting came in 1978 in Kaikoura. The Air Force was even asked to investigate by then-Prime Minister Robert Muldoon.
Unexplained lights over Hamilton, flying objects near Seddon and bright orbs close to Dunedin are just some of the UFO descriptions collected by the Civil Aviation Authority over the past two decades.
The figures, released under the Official Information Act, show that across New Zealand the public have contacted the agency and recorded seeing a range of unexplained objects.
The data, which spans from 2000 to 2017, records 30 sightings of UFOs reported to the CAA.

While the sightings were recorded, only those where there was a risk to safety were investigated, according to the agency.
Some of the sightings include reports of a silent object flying through the skies near Cambridge in 2012 and a white circular object near Titirangi, Auckland, in 2014.

Aliens and spaceships are usually confined to the world of conspiracy theories, but former Pentagon analyst Dr Paul Buchanan said it wasn't silly for governments to record UFO data.
It was less about making contact with intelligent life, and more about states protecting and monitoring the space above them.
"The race for space is full on. The hard fact of the matter is space will be militarised within the next 20 years. No treaties are going to stop that. That is why Trump has thought up the Space Force idea.
President Donald Trump announces that he is directing the Pentagon to create the 'Space Force' as an independent service branch.
"From time to time we get a Chinese signals boat coming into Auckland to replenish. It is basically a spy ship. It's cover though is it's a satellite ship for the Chinese space fleet."
The New Zealand Defence Force told Stuff they do not investigate sightings of UFOs, and all potential sightings reported to NZDF were handed to New Zealand Police or the CAA to investigate.
However, in the briefing to the incoming minister Ron Mark, the NZDF stated there were increasing threats to New Zealand from space due to geopolitical reasons.

Aliens have long been the fodder of conspiracy theories and sci-fi movies. However, both the U.S and China have invested money into searching for intelligent life.
"New Zealand is becoming increasingly reliant on access to space-based systems and infrastructure such as satellites. At the same time, threats to these systems have been increasing."
Due to its agreement with the Five Eyes alliance, New Zealand relies heavily on the other partners when it comes to satellite technology, Buchanan said.
"We can rely on the space-based assets of our partners, by and large, for all strategic intelligence we get in New Zealand... For the moment, we don't need a space fleet."
And while the New Zealand government didn't spend resources looking into reported UFO sightings, other states were, Buchanan said.
The Pentagon confirmed last year that there was a US$22 million (NZ $31.4m) government programme to collect and analyse "anomalous aerospace threats" between 2007 and 2012.
The agency, called Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, was classified and predominantly created to research the possibility of extra terrestrial life.

Dr Paul Buchanan believes the race to arm space is on.
More recently, President Donald Trump announced his hope for a Space Force - a sixth arm of the US defence forces which would, in part, focus on space warfare.
Meanwhile in Asia, Beijing has poured billions into building a huge dish to search for signals from stars, galaxies and perhaps extraterrestrial life. Measuring 500 metres in diameter, the radio telescope is nestled within the southern Guizhou province.
"Any strategic forecasting centres will think if an adversary gets first contact then they can form alliance with extraterrestrial beings against one's own country," Buchanan said.
"Let's say the Chinese or Russians establish contact, tell them the Five Eyes are evil doers and need to be destroyed. That would be of concern."
However, those worried that aliens will soon take over the town square in Havelock North or run amok in Dargarville don't need to, Buchanan said.
"I still have friends in [the intelligence] community and let's just say they are are extremely concerned about Earthly things. It may be a while off.

‘I was abducted by ALIENS!’ Republican election favourite reveals bizarre UFO encounter
A REPUBLICAN congressional candidate claims she was abducted by aliens when she was seven and they have “telepathically communicated” with her several times.
Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, a Republican vying to replace outgoing Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in Florida’s 27th congressional district, claimed she learnt a great deal from her encounter.
In a 2009 interview, she claimed she boarded a spaceship occupied by aliens when she was seven years old.
Two CNN news anchors were unable to keep a straight face when they were discussing the story.
One said: “I can’t believe you just said that line, ‘they acknowledged her comments about past issues with aliens.”
She described three blond, big-bodied beings — two females, one male — visited her when she was seven years old and have communicated telepathically with her several times in her life.
Rodriguez Aguilera said: “I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship — not like airplanes.”
The encounter has lead to the congressional candidate making, unfounded claims.

And one that there are 30,000 skulls — “different from humans” — in a cave in the Mediterranean island of Malta.
The local Miami Herald said in its endorsement of her that the experience is a “non-issue”.
The paper said: “We realise that Rodriguez Aguilera is an unusual candidate.
“Her bona fides as a former elected official, and now a businesswoman who spends time in other countries training women to run for office are solid.”

Editorial page editor Nancy Ancrum, said: “Here’s why we chose her: She’s not crazy.
“We chose not to see her as a two-dimensional figure. And we chose not to make that an overriding concern. We’re more thoughtful than that.”
Ms Aguilera, in a statement, said: “For years people, including Presidents like Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter and astronauts have publicly claimed to have seen unidentified flying objects and scientists like Stephen Hawking and institutions like the Vatican have stated that there are billions of galaxies in the universe and we are probably not alone.
“I personally am a Christian and have a strong belief in God, I join the majority of Americans who believe that there must be intelligent life in the billions of planets and galaxies in the universe.”

It’s Time To Finally Elect A UFO Abductee To Congress
It’s Time To Finally Elect A UFO Abductee To Congress
JAZZ SHAW
Florida’s primary is coming up one week from today and the race for the GOP nomination in the 27th district has taken an interesting turn. There are a number of viable candidates in the field and the GOP has held the seat for decades. (The demographics have been shifting of late, however, so the race is seen as being more competitive.) The Miami Herald released their editorial endorsements for each party this weekend. They selected newcomer David Richardson for the Democrats, a seemingly safe choice. But on the Republican side, they picked Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera.
Rodriguez Aguilera also looks like a solid pick at first glance, having experience as a county legislator, a business consultant and a campaign trainer for female candidates. But the Herald was also quick to point out that she’s an “unusual” candidate in that she claims to not only believe in extraterrestrials but to have been abducted by them and taken aboard a spaceship as a child. (Miami Herald)
Media has seizures after Republicans lament the death of Mollie Tibbetts (Update: NY Times changes headline)
The Editorial Board was most impressed by Rodriguez Aguilera, now a business consultant.
We realize that Rodriguez Aguilera is an unusual candidate. Last year, she told the Miami Herald — and several Spanish-language media outlets — that she believes in extra-terrestrials. She says when she was 7, she was taken aboard a spaceship and, throughout her life, she has communicated telepathically with the beings, which remind her of the concrete Christ in Brazil. There you have it.
“This is a non-issue,” she told the Board. We agree. Her bona fides as a former elected official, and now a businesswoman who spends time in other countries training women to run for office are solid.
Rodriguez Aguilera is a strong candidate in the race with plausible conservative ideas. The daughter of a Cuban political prisoner, Rodriguez Aguilera became an activist, volunteering with the Cuban American National Foundation. She said that she was coached by its former leader, Jorge Mas Canosa, who taught her that, “If you don’t have a solution to a problem, don’t raise your hand to complain.”
The Hill has some additional details of the candidate’s testimony regarding her experience with the aliens. From her description, they sound like the “Nordics” which show up in many abductees’ stories rather than the more common “Grays.”
“I went in. There were some round seats that were there, and some quartz rocks that controlled the ship — not like airplanes,” Rodriguez said in the interview. She said she was visited by three large, blonde beings.
In a separate interview with the Herald last year, she said she joins “the majority of Americans who believe that there must be intelligent life in the billions of planets and galaxies in the universe.”
In some ways, it seems nice that the Miami Herald would write off Rodriguez Aguilera’s extraterrestrial experiences as a non-issue and focus on her qualifications and experience. And it’s certainly true that a significant number of Americans believe in the possibility of technologically advanced alien beings visiting the Earth. (Those numbers may have gone up a bit after the government recently released some footage of our Navy pilots chasing what certainly looked like a UFO of some sort.) So if that’s what she believes, why hold it against her?
But at the same time I find myself suspicious of the motives of the editorial board at the Herald. Are they really putting their weight behind Rodriguez Aguilera in the primary because they think she’s the best candidate? Or do they want the GOP to nominate someone who can readily be painted as a kook so they can help flip that seat from red to blue?
Maybe I’m being a bit too suspicious here. Discussions of extraterrestrial phenomena have certainly become more mainstream of late. But I’d still put my money on the newspaper trying to pull a fast one.
Alien Rave? Michigan Man Spots Mystery UFO Putting on Light Show (VIDEO)
Alien Rave? Michigan Man Spots Mystery UFO Putting on Light Show (VIDEO)
Timothy Woodruff, a Michigander living near the coastal community of Petoskey, found himself witnessing a curious light show earlier this month, one he says was the work of an unidentified flying object.
*Cue "The X-Files" theme song*
According to Woodruff, the incident took place August 11, 2018, at roughly 11:15 p.m. local time. The footage, which was posted on YouTube Monday, shows three lights blinking, and a non-blinking light is seen hovering above the others to the left.
"The lower row of lights are the city of Petoskey, or what I can see of the city of Petoskey. The upper flashing lights are the UFO," Woodruff explains in the video post. "There were four lights in a row… the two outer lights were red, and the two center lights were flashing randomly between red, green, blue and white."
He later noted that "the object itself did not move" and that he was able to observe it for more than 20 minutes.
It's unclear what the mysterious object might have been.
Woodruff's sighting follows that of a North Carolina man who claimed to have spotted a "spacecraft" hovering above some trees near the Tar Heel State's Lake Norman last week. It was later revealed that the mysterious UFO was actually the Goodyear Blimp, which was in the area for NASCAR's Coca Cola 600 race.
Looking though the gigapan Mars photos, I found something that closely resembles an ancient clay bottle. Its very similar to this 2,000 year old Roman bottle which I include into the photo for you to compare. Again I am showing you a NASA Mars photo which has been altered by NASA into a False Color...which makes the surface look red and brown. But in reality, Mars surface looks more similar to a desert on Earth. NASA adds False Color to hide from the public the fact that Mars is more hospitable than they want you to know. This way, there is no other country racing to Mars and NASA will have no competition...which gives them a lot of time to get there.
Sure this is not a UFO, but it is one hell of a great space photo that the public has not seen before. Here is a photo that has never been seen in the news before. It's an astronaut chucking a satellite into space like a baseball. Sounds fun and probably worried NASA a lot since these mini satellites are also delicate and easily broke. Truly an amazing photo of a historic and important event in human history.

Two Giant UFO Hover Over Florida Beach Area, Aug 2018, 2 Videos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Aug 21, 2018 Location of sighting: Florida, USA
Now these UFOs have been seen before. I remember seeing similar UFOs in a Steven Greer (Renowned UFO researcher) video from 2015. This is a different time and different instance, however these are 100% the same UFOs at the same location. I will include the video during sunset at the bottom of this post. You can see there are no boats or ships in the area. There are no planes, jets or helicopters heard or in the area. No flares...there is no logical explanation for this sighting. However if you do research, you will find Steven Greers video from 2015 is the exact same location watching the same exact UFOs. Its obvious that 4-6 miles off the coast of Florida lays an underwater alien base where UFOs enter and leave at about 5-7pm, since both sightings took place around sunset. Amazing discovery and we need to explore this area with underwater recording technology so that we can find the exact location of this base. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan
Wild Claim – Face and Name Of An Alien Overlord Are Printed on Dollar Bills
Wild Claim – Face and Name Of An Alien Overlord Are Printed on Dollar Bills
A group of UFO hunters has claimed that the US dollar bills are hiding an alien overlord’s picture.
They discovered an image depicting the face of the space alien rulers of Planet Earth on the same side of the banknotes showing the infamous pyramid.
They believe that extraterrestrials have placed hidden messages in the currency. Adding contrast (shadow) to the original will turn it into the alien head, they explained.
Alien enthusiasts have been saying that extraterrestrial arts are made of many levels of understanding, making them too complicated for human’s primitive minds. They explain that humanity is a primitive species controlled by primitive decision making and instincts.
They think that the classic one dollar US bill is proof that extraterrestrial has infiltrated the US government and possibly has permanent control.
This sector of alien enthusiasts thinks that there are secret signs all over Earth that aliens have been controlling humankind’s destiny for their benefits.
They point out the visible letters MERICA at the top, saying that it may mean Me Rica, the name of a particular alien overlord.
So, does this observation prove aliens run the world? What do you think?
Martian 'Ghost Dunes' Could Preserve Signs of Ancient Life
Martian 'Ghost Dunes' Could Preserve Signs of Ancient Life
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
The footprints of long-gone sand dunes stretch across the Hellespontus region of Mars west of the Hellas basin in this image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Scientists can identify consistent winds from the east (blowing from top to bottom in this image) that formed them. The dunes migrated with the wind and sometimes merged or extended to form new dunes, NASA officials said.

Could pits hold evidence of ancient Mars life? Researchers just found hundreds of crescent-shaped depressions on the surface of the Red Planet. These pits likely used to be sand dunes — each one the size of the U.S. Capitol building, according to researchers.
These 'ghost dunes' remain preserved because of their composition. Lava or sediments washed into the area with water and partially buried these dunes as it streamed around them. Like a mold, the buried part of the dune hardened over time. After wind blew the exposed sand away, the mold inside remained and showed where the full dune used to be.
And maybe life is hiding there. In a statement from the American Geophysical Union, the research team said the tip of the trailing ends of each of these dunes might have enough shelter to preserve a bit of sand. Inside this sand could be signs of ancient life, protected from the radiation-heavy Mars environment. [Boiling Blood and Radiation: 5 Ways Mars Can Kill]
"We know that dunes on Earth can support life, and dunes on Earth are very similar to dunes on Mars," lead author Mackenzie Day, a planetary geomorphologist (someone who studies planetary surface changes) at the University of Washington in Seattle, said in the statement.
"One problem that Mars has that Earth doesn't is the surface radiation. If you are inside a dune, or at the bottom of a dune, and you are microbial life, the dune is protecting you from a lot of that radiation," Day added. "There is probably nothing living there now. But if there ever was anything on Mars, this is a better place than average to look."
The making of a ghost dune. a) Crescent-shaped barchan dunes form with the steep face away from the prevailing wind, seen with the black arrows. b) A slow-moving liquid such as lava or sediment in water flows around the dunes and buries them halfway before hardening into rock. c-e) Wind blows away the exposed sand and is directed inward to eventually mostly hollow out the pit. f) Some ancient sand may still lurk in the pits' deep crevices, protected from radiation.

Similar to active dune fields
Features like this aren't unique to Mars. The first ghost dunes were found on Earth in 2016 in the Snake River Plain, in eastern Idaho. On Mars, the new study uncovered similar-looking features in Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter images of the southern hemisphere at Hellas (an ancient impact crater) and Noctis Labyrinthus (a set of deep valleys.)
The ghost dunes probably stood about 40 meters (130 feet) tall at Noctis Labyrinthus and 75 meters (246 feet) tall at Hellas basin just before they were buried. They also appear to be barchan dunes – common dune types on both Mars and Earth. Barchan dunes are crescent-shaped features that occur on flat surfaces with little sand, in zones where the wind blows mostly from one direction.

The observations also suggest these pits have a similar size and shape to active dune fields on Mars, especially because the pits are aligned in the same way as today's dunes.
"Any one of these pits is not enough to tell you that it's a dune, or from an ancient dune field. But when you put them all together, they have so many commonalities with dunes on Mars and on Earth that you have to employ some kind of fantastic explanation to explain them as anything other than dunes," Day said.
"They are all going the same way," she added, "which you would expect for dunes, because they are all migrating and forming in the same wind regime. So just the shape and size tell us that these are features that are coming from an ancient dune system." [Gullies Streak Down Mars Crater in Stunning NASA Photo]
Reconstructing the ancient environment
The ghost dunes probably were buried about 2 billion years ago, during the late Hesperian or early Amazonian period on Mars. The Hesperian is a transitional period in Martian history, when the planet changed from a wetter environment into the drier and wind-swept planet observed today. Researchers are still trying to understand why the climate changed; according to a leading hypothesis, the atmosphere thinned, making it impossible for water to flow on the surface.
The two sets of dunes might have been buried differently, the researchers said. Noctis Labyrinthus lies near previously active volcanoes, while the Hellas basin dune field is downstream of two large canyons that likely were shaped by water.
"If some of the water that carved those valleys made it downstream far enough, it could have gotten to the dune field," Day said. "The only thing that we know for sure is that the flow had to be relatively low energy, relatively slow, otherwise it would erode the dunes and we wouldn't get the shapes that we see today."
The first ghost dunes were discovered by David Gaylord in 2015 on Idaho's eastern Snake River Plain (111 degrees 36 minutes 11.06 seconds latitude and 44 degrees 4 minutes 54.2 seconds north longitude).

Besides giving clues of ancient life, the dunes could also show how the winds used to blow during earlier parts of Mars' history. This knowledge would help researchers better understand how sediments moved over the surface, the formation of large features and how the climate of the ancient past is different from atmospheric conditions observed today.
"The fact that the wind was different [when the ghost dunes formed] tells us that the environmental conditions on Mars aren't static over long timescales, they have changed over the past couple billion years, something we need to know to interpret the geology on Mars," Day said.
The new work was detailed June 5 in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.

On les appelle UFO aux Etats-Unis, d’où l’ufologie, la science de ceux qui les étudie, en France on dit OVNI, pour objet volant non identifié, certains parlent de MOC, pour mystérieux objet céleste.
Une série de d’acronyme pour parler d’un phénomène qui, en France, s’est invité avec fracas au cœur de l’actualité à la fin de l’année 1979. Le 26 novembre de cette année-là, à Cergy-Pontoise, un jeune homme, Franck Fontaine, disparait. Deux de ses deux amis expliquent qu’avant cette disparition subite, ils ont vu, tous les trois dans le ciel, un ovni, un objet volant non identifié. Voilà le point de départ d’une incroyable affaire, qui tient la France en haleine pendant plusieurs mois et qui mobilise journalistes, institutions et ufologues. Rapidement tous les Français s’interrogent : s’agit-il d’un canular ou d’un phénomène paranormal ?
Raconter cette histoire, c’est se plonger au cœur de ces énigmes, à la frontière de la science, de la psychologie, des mythes, du secret d’Etat, et des sourires narquois, parfois, que déclenche la croyance en l’existence d’une vie extraterrestre.
Car tout de même : Comment expliquer ces témoignages multiples, à travers le monde, qui affirment avoir vu des ovnis ? Comment comprendre ces récits, tout aussi nombreux, qui racontent leur rencontre ou leur enlèvement par des extraterrestres ? Comment la science, les gouvernements et les hommes se sont-ils interrogés et ont-ils fait évoluer leur méthode, leur discours et leur recherche, ces dernières années ?
Ces questions, nous les poserons en seconde partie d’émission à Franck Maurin, ufologue, spécialiste des ovnis, donc, et auteur du livre Les mystères du phénomène OVNI.
