Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

    Cloaked UFO sticking out of the clouds filmed over Reykjavik, Iceland

    The photographer saw something in the sky directly over the N1 gasoline station in Artun, Reykjavik, Iceland and decided to film it.


    The short video shows a flying saucer type object, most likely a lenticular cloud but left to the this UFO cloud there is another object partially cloaked that is sticking out of the cloud formation.


    Despite the photographer refers to the flying saucer like cloud it is the second partially cloaked object that makes it interesting, see above image.

    The photographer says: I was amazed by clouds during my way from home to work so I made many pictures and videos. But there was also UFO. I think that this is UFO so I’m sending this material to Mufon report 94745.

    Black square UFO appears from the clouds above Wisconsin



    The photographer says: I was riding in a car to go to the airport and flying back to Canada.

    The sky is still very dark when I left River Falls, Wisconsin. The sky was lightening on the middle of our trip and I took some photos of the thunder and lighting.

    I took a lot of images of the sky when the lighting flashed every 20 to 40 seconds. At the beginning, I didn't notice the object till I checked my iPhone camera in the car. It was the first photo that showed this object. Other photos that I took at the same time didn’t show the object.


    I was so happy to be able to take a very special photo so I posted it on my Facebook right away when I landed in Toronto. Mufon report 94740.

    Top-secret US technology SPOTTED? Mysterious ‘triangle UFO’ linked to military experiments

    A SHOCK "triangular UFO" has been spotted close to a secretive US military base, amid speculation that the aircraft is the mysterious TR-3B on a test-run in Texas.

    Bizarre triangular shaped 'UFO' spotted GLOWING in the sky

    Incredible footage has captured a bizarre "triangle UFO" flying across the El Paso sky in Texas this week.

    The mysterious sighting has been linked to top-secret US technology developed at a nearby military research base.

    Online viewers speculated that the aircraft, which has left many baffled, was a TR-3B aircraft, which is part of a "black government project".

    Several sightings of "black project" aircrafts have been recorded close to military testing areas, such as Edwards Air Force Base in California, and United States Air Force Plant 42.

    The man who filmed the latest footage stopped his car on his way to work to capture the unusual object before it vanished.

    The video of the supersonic aircraft has already racked up thousands of views after being posted online.

    The man told the Daily Star: ""I stared at the sunrise as usual because I have to stop at a red light, right before I get to work.

    "After a few minutes, I glanced to the right and saw a glowing triangle and thought it was weird. So I took several pictures and a short video."

    The nearby White Sands Missile Range has been blamed for a series of sighting among El Paso residents

    The nearby White Sands Missile Range has been blamed for a series of strange sighting in El Paso. 

    The US Army base is the largest and one of the most secretive military installations in the US.

    White Stands has primarily been used to test newly developed weapons and is infamous as the world's first testing ground for the atomic bomb.

    Almost all the experimental weapons research carried out at White Sands is highly classified.

    One viewer, who claimed to be a resident of El Paso, said the mysterious UFO sightings were a common occurence in the area.

    Another viewer said: "Looks to me like a TR-3B craft with the circles under each corner of the triangle if that makes sense."

    One person commented: "It's probably secret military technology monitoring the skies."

    A number of sightings of the covert spy plane have been spotted over Russia and Australia in recent weeks.

    Neil Armstrong: We were ordered to 'move away' by ALIENS on the Moon

    Watch out conspiracy theorists. The truth is, America really did make it to the moon, but what happened when they were there is the real question. Neil Armstrong claims that there was an alien species on the moon when they visited and that they were made to move away.

    Armstrong claims that there were ships and structures on the moon that were not human-made. The idea is both thrillings and terrifying that an alien species could exist so close to the planet humans call home.

    Armstrong was not the only one to have encountered and recalled these abnormalities. Buzz Aldrin also took videos of the strange occurrences, and they both reported back to Houston who censored this information from the American people to keep the country from rising in panic.

    Aliens on the Moon

    The interview transcription is below:

    “Professor: What really happened out of Apollo 11?

    Armstrong: An amazing thing, even though we have always known of this possibility. The fact is that they (aliens) have ordered us to turn away!

    Professor: What do you mean “warned to move away”?

    Armstrong: I cannot go into details; there are structures on the Moon, and not ours. I can only say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology. Wow if you were big! … And menacing!

    Professor: But NASA also sent to the moon missions after Apollo 11 ….

    Armstrong: Naturally, NASA had already announced at that time, and could not risk panic on Earth.”

    Personally I will always believe that humans have been to the moon. There is not much that can be done to change my thoughts on that. But the possibility that there was something happening on the moon that we were not told about seems all too likely. How’s that for an explanation of video inconsistencies.

    UFO in Seborga “Italy” REAL or FAKE?

    Thus began the story of a man who spotted a UFO in Seborga in the province of Imperia, Italy.

    Our witness comment: It is about 8 am, in the direction of the hill I see two illuminated objects with a disc form, so fast “almost at supersonic speed” that I had difficulty following them with my phone.

    ufo in seborga

    Immediately after the report was taken in the event by the Italian association alien research or better (A.I.R.A), which after a series of checks, inspections and interviews have come to the conclusion that this is an exceptional case and really consists of unidentified intelligent objects.

    The president of the association, the ufologist Roberto Maggioni has come to the conclusion that the witness was very reliable after three direct interviews and investigations, confirming that the video is interesting and unique.

    There are many ufologists involved in this case, including a well-known Italian ufologist which comment:

    On the scene we have two unidentified luminous objects, one of them makes small rotary movements, while after we have a second object arrive at a moderate speed, then after a pause, splashes away at supersonic speed. Among the objects appear bright points that seem crazy and head in all directions: the witness states that they were not visible to the naked eye and so we are inclined to think it is just “dust” in backlight.

    The behavior of the two UFOs in our eyes is meaningless and devoid of connections, this could be a confirmation that it was not a human creation, but a alien behavior to us unknown. With this we can say that we have filed another extraterrestrial phenomenon? It is not 100% sure but ufologists of every nation are working on the case to determine more precisely if it is a fake or a real encounter with two floating UFOs in the Italian skies, what do you think about the UFO in Seborga?

    Dr. Gil Levin’s NASA experiment found PROOF of life on Mars in 1976… but it was memory-holed by the government

    (Natural News) Gilbert Levin served as the lead investigator of the Labeled Release life detection experiment that was carried out on the two Viking Landers that NASA sent to Mars in 1976. Although his instrument ultimately yielded positive results at both locations, the finding has been largely memory-holed.

    In a video posted to REAL.video, Levin talks about how his job working for the Health Department of the State of California determining water health inspired him to create his revolutionary approach using radioactive tagging. This eventually led to him being awarded a NASA contract in 1958 to develop a method to find extraterrestrial life, and his method was used in the Viking Missions in 1976.

    In the video, he details how the experiment worked. Essentially, it entailed adding a drop of specially engineered radioactive food into a small cup of soil from Mars and monitoring the air above it to look for any radioactive gas that microorganisms would breathe out if present.

    Few believed this would be successful on Mars, but with the first drop of the nutrient on Martian soil, a big amount of gas came out and was present for the full week of the experiment. Similar results were seen at the other landing site 4,000 miles away.

    Could it have been related to chemicals in the soil rather than microorganisms? Just in case, they had an experiment ready to figure this out. They took a duplicate sample of the same soil and heated it to 160 degrees C to kill any microorganisms – a temperature that would at least kill those known on Earth – but not so high that it would destroy any oxidizing chemicals that would give a false positive. This “control” was carried out more than once and replicated on Viking 1 and Viking 2, ruling out the possibility that chemicals were responsible. In addition, the active sample was held in a chamber and after a few months, nothing showed up on the test, likely indicating that the microorganisms had died.

    Naysayers first said the effect must be due to ultraviolet light, but when they sent out an arm to move a rock and take a sample from underneath it, the result was the same – yet for some reason, NASA wrote it off as containing “no organic matter.”

    For the next 37 years, NASA and other scientists have been trying to explain away Levin’s results, but none have succeeded, nor have they reproduced any chemical that would explain away those results in a lab or even in theory.

    Since his experiment, NASA has refused to send in similar life-finding experiments and rejected his proposals to carry out additional missions. Ambiguous answers would hurt their program, he believes, saying that this is motivated by politics and not science. After all, scientists who get positive results replicate and expand them, and NASA is clearly uninterested in doing that.

    If there is life on Mars, he believes it must exist throughout the universe, but NASA and the government are doing everything they can to keep this information under wraps. Recently, he told The Space Show: “I am certain that NASA knows there is life on Mars” adding that there is “substantial and circumstantial evidence for extant microbial life on Mars.”

    Lots of signs point to life on Mars

    There are plenty of signs to support that notion. For example, NASA’s Curiosity rover discovered that methane on Mars has cyclical and seasonal spikes. With more than 90 percent of Earth’s atmospheric methane being created by living organisms like microbes, this is pretty solid evidence of life. Not surprisingly, team members on the Curiosity mission have already tried to explain it away, saying that water rock chemistry could be responsible.

    In July, the Mars Express orbiter from the European Space Agency found an underground lake under a mile of ice toward the south pole of Mars. Although evidence of water has been seen on the planet before on a smaller scale, an underground lake it pretty hard to ignore.

    In fact, Levin says that with everything we know about the planet now, it would be more surprising to prove that there isn’t life on Mars than that there is life on the Red ?Planet. He said that “it’s getting to the point where the shoe is on the other foot. It’s very hard to image a sterile Mars.”

    Les triangles nocturnes et suite de l'immense ovni triangulaire prés de l’aéroport de Genève

    Un article de Daniel Robin, Responsable du Réseau Ovni Investigation

    Après l’affaire de Viry (publiée sur le site Ovnis-Direct) dans laquelle deux témoins ont observé un immense triangle noir, stationnaire dans le ciel, près de l’aéroport de Genève, je présente dans cet article un nouveau cas impliquant ces mystérieux « triangles de la nuit » qui sont très présents dans nos espaces aériens en ce moment. 

    En ce qui me concerne, j’estime que ces manifestations de « triangles noirs » sont à prendre très au sérieux.

    Bien que ces engins ne semblent pas se comporter de façon agressive quand ils se manifestent, nous ne connaissons pas leurs réelles intentions à notre égard.

    Je pense que ces affaires devraient susciter beaucoup plus d’attention et de réactions de la part du public.

    Une prise de conscience générale s’impose selon moi, car les populations pourraient être confrontées, dans un avenir peut-être proche, à des situations auxquelles elles n’ont pas été préparées. Elles pourraient mal réagir face à des événements étranges.

    Monsieur Aurélien M. (la grande majorité des témoins souhaite garder l’anonymat) m’a adressé un mail le samedi 11 août 2018, dans lequel il indiquait vouloir me faire part de ce qu’il avait vu avec un collègue de travail dans la nuit du 4 au 5 août 2018 à 2h30 du matin.

    Dans un premier temps, je pris contact avec lui par téléphone, lui demandant de m’envoyer un récit détaillé de son observation.

    Voici son témoignage :

    « Bonjour Monsieur Robin,

    Suite à notre conversation téléphonique d’hier, je ne peux pas vous envoyer des photos de notre site (usine), car c’est un site privé (désolé).

    Par contre, comme je vous l’ai expliqué hier par téléphone voici ce qu’il m’est arrivé :

    Je travaillais dans la nuit du 4 août au 5 août (le témoin est pompier professionnel et travaille souvent la nuit).

    Les faits se sont déroulés le 5 août 2018 à 2h30 du matin sur la commune de Hordain (59111, située dans le nord-est de la France, près de Valenciennes).

    Le ciel était dégagé, étoilé, pas de vent, c’était très agréable (une nuit d’été).

    Avec mon collègue de travail, nous étions à la fenêtre lorsque nous avons aperçu deux lumières blanches au-dessus d’un bâtiment à une hauteur d’environ 70 à 80 mètres, et à une distance de deux-cents mètres.

    Ces lumières éclairaient, mais elles n’étaient « agressives ».

    Elles n’éclairaient pas le sol.

    J’ai dit à mon collègue : tu as vus c’est bizarre, ces deux lumières au-dessus du bâtiment. 

    Il me répondit : oui, c’est peux être un avion.

    Du fait que nous ne puissions pas voir la troisième lumière, nous n’avons plus suivi les deux lumières. De plus, il y avait un arbre en face de notre fenêtre.

    Cinq minutes plus tard, nous vîmes de nouveau une lumière passer au-dessus de l’arbre puis deux autres en forme de triangle a une vitesse estimée à cinq km/h, et passer ensuite au-dessus d’un tunnel d’usine situé sur notre site.

    La masse était importante. J’estime les dimensions de l’engin à environ vingt mètres sur vingt mètres sur vingt mètres et une épaisseur environ la moitié du tunnel (six à sept mètres environ). Sur le coup, nous sommes restés « scotchés » par l’évènement.

    Peu après, j’ai pris une lampe torche très puissante, puis je suis sorti pour éclairer la masse qui survolait le tunnel. Cette masse était noire. Elle était plus foncée que la nuit, mais je ne peux pas vous dire de quelle matière elle était faite.

    Elle  était comme faite de métal.

    De plus, au passage du triangle aucun bruit n’était perceptible. Il n’y avait pas de bruit de moteur ni de bruit d’hélice, pas de souffle, rien.

    Sans les trois lumières qui étaient à chaque extrémité du triangle, nous n’aurions rien remarqué.

    Une fois le triangle passé de trois quarts au-dessus du tunnel, j’ai pris un véhicule pour le suivre.

    J’ai dépassé le tunnel et je me suis m’arrêté à une vingtaine de mètres au-dessus de lui, puis je suis descendu du véhicule. J’ai pris ma lampe torche et j’ai éclairé en direction du tunnel, et la, plus rien, le triangle avait disparu.

    J’ai fait une reconnaissance aux alentours, et plus rien, le triangle c’était comme « évaporé ».

    Je suis revenu vers mon collègue et nous avons reparlé de ce phénomène étrange, car nous étions deux à l’avoir vu.

    Voilà notre nuit du 4 au 5 août 2018, que je n’oublierais  jamais. Le plus bête dans cette histoire, c’est qu’aucun de nous deux a eu l’idée de prendre son téléphone pour filmer l’ovni.

    Je reste à votre disposition pour plus de renseignements. Désolé de ne pas faire plus…

    Salutations, Aurélien M. »

     Comme il l’indique dans son récit, Aurélien M. prit une lampe torche puissante pour éclairer la masse triangulaire noire qui survolait le tunnel de l’usine.

    Sur les photos envoyées par le témoin, le tunnel dont il s’agit est une vaste structure surélevée qui traverse l’usine.

    Au cours d’une seconde conversation téléphonique avec le témoin, il revint sur cet épisode de son observation et il me fit part d’un phénomène étrange.

    Il m’expliqua, en effet, qu’il avait dirigé le faisceau de sa lampe en direction de l’engin, mais que le faisceau « passait au travers de la masse noire » (sic).

    C’est comme si le faisceau lumineux de la lampe torche ne touchait pas la masse sombre et n’était pas arrêtée par elle. Elle ne faisait pas barrage au faisceau.

    Pourtant, il m’affirma que la masse semblait faite d’une sorte de métal avec des motifs en forme de crans. La surface inférieure du triangle était crantée, c’est-à-dire qu’elle comportait des motifs en relief comme dans l’image ci-dessous.

    Ce phénomène étrange décrit par le témoin pose de nombreuses questions sur la technologie mise en œuvre par ces mystérieux « triangles noirs ».

    Il suggère une grande maîtrise de la matière et de l’énergie par une physique qui semble très en avance sur la nôtre.

     

    Ci-dessus : Une surface crantée avec des motifs en relief à sa surface. La surface inférieure de l’engin triangulaire observé par Aurélien M. offrait les mêmes motifs en relief. D’après le témoin c’était comme de la « tôle » qui aurait été travaillée. Le plus troublant est que le faisceau de la lampe torche du témoin semblait passer à travers la masse métallique.

    Le 18 août 2018, soit 13 jours après son observation, Aurélien M m’adressa une série de photos dans lesquelles étaient incrustés des dessins de l’engin triangulaire.

    La reconstitution est fidèle à la scène vécue par les témoins.

    La masse triangulaire noirs dont on voit les dimensions imposantes est passée à très basse altitude et très lentement au-dessus des bâtiments de l’usine. Elle ne faisait aucun bruit.

    Ci-dessous deux documents (publiés avec l’autorisation du témoin) montrant le triangle passant à basse altitude (20 mètres environ) au-dessus du tunnel de l’usine. Tout en bas, reconstitution en 3D du triangle.

    THIS IS THE VERY FIRST IMAGE OF A BLACK HOLE

    Black holes are so outlandish that the scientists who first thought them up figured they couldn't possibly exist in reality. They form from massive, collapsed stars and are so dense that nothing can escape their gravitational pull, including light. Black holes mess with spacetime so badly that scientists have long wondered.
    How do these things look, exactly? We may be on the cusp of seeing one thanks to the Event Horizon Telescope, but back in 1979, Jean-Pierre Luminet created the first "image" using nothing but an early computer, lots of math and India ink. The problem with imaging a black hole is that, by definition, they don't emit light or radiation.

    Luckily, large black holes are usually next to other stars and suck away their matter, something astronomers can see.
    "As [gases from stars] fall towards the black hole, it becomes hotter and hotter and begins to emit radiation. This is a good source of light: the accretion rings shine and illuminate the central black hole," writes Luminet in his e-Luminesciences blog.  The distinguishing feature of a black hole is its "event horizon" boundary, the point of no return for matter and light.

    At its periphery, materials sucked in from adjacent stars form an "accretion disk," famously depicted in Interstellar (below) as two bright, perpendicular disks. That's just an illusion, though -- there's only one disk at the equator, but the light is bent upward by the black hole's extreme gravity (via gravitation lensing).

    Luminet's image depicts two other important phenomena not seen in Interstellar. One is the fact that the energy and light are stronger near the edge of a black hole and weaker farther out. Another is the Doppler and Einstein effects caused by the accretion disk's rotation, which would make light appear to be brighter on one side, depending on the spin direction. In Luminet's image, the accretion disk spins counter-clockwise, so its light approaches the viewer on the left and recedes on the right, making the left-hand side look brighter.

    All that causes the black hole to be much brighter in the center and left, as depicted in Luminet's image, but not on the "Gargantua" black hole created by Interstellar's effects team.

    "A realistic image must show a strong asymmetry of the disk's brightness, so that one side is far brighter and the other is far dimmer," he says. (Interstellar's black hole expert Kip Thorne was very aware of that, but director Christopher Nolan left it out so as not to confuse the audience.)
    Luminet calculated all of that back in 1979 using the IBM 7040 mainframe, an early transistor computer with punch card inputs. The machine generated isolines for his image that were "directly translatable as smooth curves using the drawing software available at the time," he told Engadget in an email.

    To create the final image though, he relied on his other passion: art. Using numerical data from the computer, he drew directly on negative image paper with black India ink, placing dots more densely where the simulation showed more light. “Next, I took the negative of my negative to get the positive, the black points becoming white and the white background becoming black.”

    The result is an image that still holds up and is closer to reality than the CGI done by Interstellar's whiz kids. What's more, subsequent computer simulations created by NASA Goddard and others still show the same defining elements -- a thin "photon ring" at the center, Doppler and Einstin-shifted light and a double accretion disk caused by gravitational lensing. Not bad for someone with just punch cards and India ink.

    Some viewers were so taken aback they thought the video must have been a fake, which prompted Mr Maier to post the original version.

    An avid mountaineer, Mr Maier always carries five or six cameras in his backpack to capture the wonders of the natural world on camera.

    A microburst is an intense small-scale downdraft produced by a thunderstorm or rain shower. There are two types of microbursts - wet microbursts and dry microbursts.

    Several fatal and historic air crashes have been attributed to the phenomenon and flight crew training now goes to great lengths on how to recover from microbursts.

    Everything You Need To Know About The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (Video)

    () What is the extraterrestrial hypothesis? (ETH)  It’s one of the multiple hypotheses’ which exist in order to explain the UFO phenomenon. Yes, objects performing manoeuvres that defy our belief and understanding of physics have been spotted, filmed, and tracked on radar. With all of the UFO disclosure that’s happened over the past few years, a trend that doesn’t seem like it’s going to stop, the ETH is one that holds strong over multiple others, or as explained in the lecture below,  a combination of others, to explain what is going on here. The lecture is given by Richard Dolan, historian and one of the world’s leading UFO researchers.

    If, for instance, if it turns out that all physical evidence is consistent with a mundane interpretation of the causes of UFO reports, there will be little reason to continue to speculate about the role of extraterrestrial beings. If, on the other hand, the analysis of physical evidence turns up very strong evidence that objects related with UFO reports were manufactured outside the solar system, then one must obviously consider very seriously that the phenomenon involves not only extraterrestrial vehicles but probably also extraterrestrial beings.” –

    Peter Andrew Sturrock(source

    The ETH separates itself from the others for a couple of big reasons, one is the fact that multiple people from ‘within’ have come forward explaining that not only has there been a UFO cover-up, but an extraterrestrial cover-up as well. Secondly, the observed highly advanced, physics-physics manoeuvres these crafts that have been seen and filmed by people and military agencies are not produced by any nation on Earth. Lastly but not least, all of the supposed encounters between people and extraterrestrial beings, there is no shortage found within the lore.

     There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, . That 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.

    – Dr. Brian O’Leary (Physics professor, NASA Astronaut)

    At the same time, we have to think about extra dimensions, parallel universes, and more…There could be multiple explanations for the UFO phenomenon, and multiple cases that don’t actually represent the same thing.

    There are many factors to consider here, and the lecture below is great for discussing that. I (the ETH) opens up new science, new paradigms, and leaves no aspect of humanity untouched. Science, history, technology, consciousness, and more will all be changed and transformed at a more rapid pace. This is one of the greatest stories in human history, and as independent media, we must keep talking about it because mainstream media always seems to have some sort of agenda, with all topics, from terrorism to UFOs and GMO’s and as I’m sure you know, much more.

    Here is a couple of articles that goes into more detail regarding the latest on that:

    We have, indeed, been contacted — perhaps even visited — by extraterrestrial beings, and the US government, in collusion with the other national powers of the Earth, is determined to keep this information from the general public.

     EPA
     Na zes jaar voorbereiding is de grote schoonmaak van oceanen met de plasticvanger van ‘Ocean Cleanup’  officieel begonnen. Dat is een opkuissysteem dat snel en efficiënt plastic vuilnis uit de zee moet halen. Hoe werkt dat dan juist?

    De oceaanschoonmaker is een buis van meer dan zeshonderd meter lang. De installatie drijft los in zee, dus zonder verankering aan de bodem. Door wind en golven beweegt de buis zich sneller dan ronddrijvend afval. Plastic dat zich aan en vlak onder de oppervlakte bevindt, wordt door de buis en het 3 meter brede scherm eronder ‘opgeveegd’. Vissen en andere zeedieren zullen met de neerwaartse stroom die voor de buis en het net ontstaat onder de installatie door zwemmen, dat is althans de bedoeling.

    Onder invloed van wind en met behulp van kabels neemt de buis een U-vorm aan, waardoor het plastic zich tussen de armen verzamelt. Als het goed is, verplaatst de installatie zich vanzelf naar plekken waar het meeste afval drijft. Om de paar maanden haalt een schip het plastic op. Dat wordt aan land gebracht en zoveel mogelijk gerecycleerd.

    De bedenkers lieten het ding gisteren te water aan de Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. De eerste opkuis vond plaats tussen Hawaii en San Francisco, een gebied van bijna 4.000 kilometer breed, dat drie keer zo groot is als Frankrijk. Voor de eerste Ocean Cleaner, bedacht door de toen 18-jarige Nederlander Boyan Slat, werd maar liefst 27 miljoen euro aan crowdfunding ingezameld.

    “Plastic is niet de vijand”

    “Dat mensen plastic gebruiken, is niet het probleem. Dat we dat plastic zomaar weggooien en dat het dan in zee belandt, dat is wel een probleem.” Dat zegt Lonneke Holierhoek van The Ocean Cleanup. 

    “Plastic is niet de vijand”, klinkt het. “Plastic is een mooi product, het is bestendig, het is goed op verschillende manieren toe te passen. We vinden alleen dat het niet in de oceaan moet belanden.” Dat kan door überhaupt minder plastic te gebruiken, maar er zijn meer manieren. “We zijn gebaat bij betere recycling. Dat we verpakkingen bijvoorbeeld slimmer plannen. Zodat we niet nog meer plastic creëren, maar het plastic dat er is beter benutten.”

    En daar zit volgens Holierhoek een probleem: “Er is te weinig stimulans om waarde te halen uit het plastic dat we al hebben. Zeker bij een lage olieprijs is het goedkoop om nieuw plastic te maken. Daarmee maak je de plasticberg alleen maar groter.” Zij vindt dat ook de industrie daar een taak in heeft. “Producenten kunnen plastic zo maken dat het goed te recyclen is. De recyclingindustrie kan nog een hoop innovatie gebruiken.”

    Veel plastic in de Grote Oceaan is afkomstig uit landen als Indonesië, de Filipijnen en China. Holierhoek: “Het heeft te maken met armoede. Veel mensen wonen op plekken waar geen infrastructuur is die elke week het vuilnis ophaalt.”

    Testfase van de plasticvanger in Amerika, eerder dit jaar.

     RV 
    Testfase van de plasticvanger in Amerika, eerder dit jaar.
     Morgen is het eindelijk zover. Na zes jaar begint de grote schoonmaak van de de oceanen met de plasticvanger die gelanceerd werd door de toen 18-jarige Nederlander Boyan Slat.

    Degenen die zaterdag in San Francisco over de Golden Gate Bridge rijden of lopen, zullen hun ogen uitkijken. In de loop van de middag komt daar een bijzonder gevaarte voorbij: een honderden meters lange zwarte buis die naar open zee wordt gesleept. Het is de eerste plasticvanger van Boyan Slat, de jonge Nederlandse uitvinder die zich ten doel heeft gesteld het plastic in de oceanen op te ruimen.

    Na jaren van voorbereiding gaat de grote schoonmaak nu echt beginnen. Het wordt de lakmoesproef voor de plannen van de 24-jarige Slat, die zes jaar geleden zijn idee lanceerde om afval in zee op te ruimen met lange drijvende armen. Het leverde hem een cultstatus op. Hij wist wetenschappers en sponsors aan zich te binden. Zijn groepje medewerkers groeide uit tot een professionele organisatie waarin miljoenen omgaan. Nu moet blijken of hij de hooggespannen verwachtingen kan waarmaken. De wereld kijkt mee.

    Drijvende vuilnisbelt

    Slats organisatie, The Ocean Cleanup, wil een drijvende vuilnisbelt opruimen die zich bevindt in de Stille Oceaan, tussen Hawaï en Californië. Daar heeft zich onder invloed van zeestromen een immense hoeveelheid plastic verzameld: 80.000 ton in een gebied drie keer zo groot als Frankrijk. Van visnetten tot verpakkingen, van kratten tot microplastics. De afvalberg weegt ruwweg evenveel als 450 Jumbo Jets.

    Voor de ambitieuze opruimactie heeft The Ocean Cleanup een 600 meter lange metalen pijp ontworpen, waaronder een flexibel scherm hangt dat het plastic moet tegenhouden. Deze enorme sliert gaat zaterdag vanaf een voormalige basis van de Amerikaanse marine op weg naar zijn plaats van bestemming en zal daarbij onder de Golden Gate Bridge door komen.

    Zodra de constructie – System 001 gedoopt – op zijn plek ligt, moeten de voorbereidingen voor de bouw van de tweede installatie beginnen. Het is de bedoeling dat uiteindelijk een vloot van zestig van deze drijvers op de plasticsoep wordt afgestuurd. Zo denkt Slat in vijf jaar de helft van de zogeheten Great Pacific Garbage Patch weg te kunnen werken. Of die ambitie haalbaar is, zal afhangen van het resultaat dat hij bereikt met System 001.

    Hoe werkt de plasticvanger?

    De installatie drijft los in zee, dus zonder verankering aan de bodem. Door wind en golven beweegt de buis zich sneller dan ronddrijvend afval. Plastic dat zich aan en vlak onder de oppervlakte bevindt, wordt door de buis en het 3 meter brede scherm ‘opgeveegd’. Vissen en andere zeedieren zullen met de neerwaartse stroom die voor de buis en het scherm ontstaat onder de installatie door zwemmen, dat is althans de bedoeling.

    Onder invloed van wind en met behulp van kabels neemt de buis een U-vorm aan, waardoor het plastic zich tussen de armen verzamelt. Als het goed is verplaatst de installatie zich vanzelf naar plekken waar het meeste afval drijft. Om de paar maanden haalt een schip het plastic op. Dat wordt aan land gebracht en zoveel mogelijk gerecycleerd.

    Geen zekerheid

    Proeven met schaalmodellen en prototypes hebben Slat en zijn team vertrouwen gegeven dat het systeem gaat doen wat het moet doen. Maar geen zekerheid. De vraag is hoe het gevaarte zich zal houden midden op de oceaan, met stormen en golven die 12 meter hoog kunnen worden. Welk effect hebben corrosie, uv-straling en levende organismen die zich aan het materiaal hechten? Het moet allemaal duidelijk worden in de praktijk.

    Het is makkelijker om spullen in de ruimte heel te houden dan op zee, zegt Slat op zijn kantoor in Rotterdam. “Een poos geleden zou dat mijn grootste zorg zijn geweest. Ons prototype op de Noordzee ging al vrij snel kapot. Daar hebben we veel van geleerd. Nu heb ik er meer vertrouwen in dat het systeem intact blijft.” Het spannendst is voor hem de vraag hoe efficiënt het systeem het plastic vangt en vasthoudt. “Hoe gedraagt het plastic zich als het stormt? Gaat het dan onder de drijver door? Daar zit voor mij de onzekerheid”, aldus Slat.

    Kansrijk project

    Gerbrant van Vledder, oceanograaf aan de TU Delft, helpt The Ocean Cleanup met computersimulaties van golfbewegingen. Als de wind draait, moet ook de installatie draaien. Als het stormt, moet het plastic binnen de U-vorm blijven. “Ik zie het als een kansrijk project, maar ik kan geen garantie geven. Het gaat erom dat het systeem tijdens een storm minder plastic verliest dan het in rustig weer verzamelt.”

    System 001 is uitgerust met stabilisatoren, camera’s om de omgeving in de gaten te houden, verlichting, reflectoren voor radar en akoestische boeien om zeedieren weg te houden als het plastic wordt opgevist. Ook drones houden een oogje in het zeil. Met GPS is de positie van het systeem te volgen. 

    Nederlandse vlag

    De Nederlandse overheid houdt de veiligheid op zee en gevolgen voor het milieu in de gaten. Daarover heeft Slat dit jaar een overeenkomst getekend met het ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat. Het systeem, dat buiten de territoriale wateren ligt, ‘vaart’ onder Nederlandse vlag. Verder is er samenwerking met de Amerikaanse kustwacht, het Amerikaanse milieuagentschap EPA en de oceanische dienst NOAA.   

    In de loop der jaren zijn de plannen van Slat verscheidene malen gewijzigd. Aanvankelijk was het de bedoeling om armen van 100 kilometer in zee te plaatsen, verankerd aan de zeebodem. De uitvoering van dit idee zou extreem duur en ingewikkeld zijn geworden. Daarna werd gedacht aan drijvers van 1 of 2 kilometer lang met zwevende ankers. De versie die nu naar de Garbage Patch gaat is nog korter. De zwevende ankers zijn verdwenen.

    Kritiek

    The Ocean Cleanup wekt niet alleen bewondering. Uit wetenschappelijke hoek klinkt ook kritiek op de methode-Slat. Onlangs gaven vijftien Amerikaanse experts nog te kennen dat ze twijfelen aan het nut van zijn operatie. Een van hen is Eben Schwartz van de California Coastal Commission. “De enorme aandacht voor dit project leidt ons af van het echte probleem”, zegt Schwartz. “Verreweg het meeste plastic in de oceanen komt van het land. Daar moeten we de vervuiling tegengaan, bij de bron.”

    Volgens Schwartz drijft slechts 3 procent van al het plastic dat in de oceanen terecht komt aan de oppervlakte in zogeheten gyres, cirkelvormige oceaanstromingen waarin afval zich concentreert. Waar de rest blijft, is niet helemaal duidelijk. Vast staat dat veel plastic op kusten aanspoelt en – afgebroken tot kleine stukjes en microplastics – zinkt of wordt opgegeten door zeedieren. Schwartz: “Ik hoop dat het project van Boyan Slat een succes wordt, maar ik vrees dat we ons richten op een heel klein deel van het probleem.”

    Half procent

    Jan Andries van Franeker, marinebioloog bij Wageningen Marine Research, rekent voor hoe weinig de schoonmaak volgens hem oplevert. “The Ocean Cleanup schat zelf dat in de Pacific Garbage Patch zo’n 80.000 ton plastic drijft. Jaarlijks verdwijnt naar schatting 8 miljoen ton in zee. Slat zegt in vijf jaar de helft van het afval in de Garbage Patch te kunnen opruimen: dus 40.000 ton. In die tijd verwijdert The Ocean Cleanup dus een half procent van wat de mens er jaarlijks in stopt.”

    Boyan Slat en zijn team zouden hun kennis en creativiteit beter kunnen richten op oplossingen om de hoeveelheid afval te beperken, zegt Van Franeker. Zoals het opvangen van plastic in riolen en rivieren of het ontwerpen van volledig recycleerbaar verpakkingsmateriaal. “Als je dan toch aan opruimen op zee denkt, denk dan aan technieken die toepasbaar zijn bij riviermondingen of op de kustlijn.”

    Aanvulling

    Slat verweert zich tegen deze kritiek door erop te wijzen dat opruimen en voorkomen van vervuiling elkaar niet uitsluiten maar aanvullen. Veel organisaties zijn bezig met preventie, maar niemand ontwikkelde technologie om het afval in de oceanen op te ruimen, zegt hij. “Wij vinden ook dat voorkomen moet worden dat plastic in zee komt. Maar zelfs als dat vandaag stopt, drijven er nog grote hoeveelheden rond die schadelijk zijn voor het zeeleven. Dat willen we opruimen voordat het plastic in microdeeltjes uiteenvalt en niet meer kan worden weggehaald.”

    Volgens Slat komt veel kritiek voort uit een zekere afkeer van het grootschalige, bedrijfsmatige en technologische karakter van zijn methode. “In milieukringen hebben altijd vooroordelen bestaan tegen grootschaligheid, ondernemerschap en technologie. Allemaal eng.”

    Een kleinere modulaire versie van de Ocean Cleanup gepresenteerd door CEO en oprichter van de Ocean Cleanup, Boyan Slat in 2017.

    Eben Schwartz denkt dat de schoonmaak vrijwel onmogelijk zal zijn zonder schade aan het zeeleven. Hij vreest dat vissen op het plastic afkomen om ervan te eten en dat zeeschildpadden, zeehonden en dolfijnen verstrikt raken en slachtoffer worden als het plastic uit het water wordt gehaald. Onnodige bezorgdheid, reageert Slat. Ook nu eten vissen plastic en kunnen zoogdieren vast komen te zitten in ronddrijvende netten. 

    Hij liet onafhankelijk onderzoek doen naar de milieu-effecten van zijn onderneming en daaruit blijkt dat de extra risico’s voor dieren vrijwel verwaarloosbaar zijn, zeker als een aantal aanbevolen maatregelen wordt genomen om dierenleed te voorkomen. “We houden de situatie in de gaten met camera’s. Tijdens het ophalen van het plastic kijken biologen of er dieren tussen zitten.”

    Ondanks zijn kritiek wil Van Franeker gezegd hebben dat hij waardering heeft voor het wetenschappelijk onderzoek dat The Ocean Cleanup heeft gedaan naar verspreiding en typering van plastics in zee. “Dat hebben ze gedaan op een schaal die niemand anders voor elkaar heeft gekregen. Daarvoor verdienen ze een compliment. Met de media-aandacht die hun projecten trekken werken ze mee aan bewustwording. Aan de andere kant kan de boodschap dat we onze rotzooi kunnen opruimen het gevoel van urgentie doen afnemen.”

    Recycleren

    Twijfel is er ook bij critici over de bruikbaarheid van het plastic dat uit zee wordt gehaald. Als dat een tijd in het zoute water heeft gelegen en aan zonlicht heeft blootgestaan is er niet meer zoveel mee te doen, wordt gezegd. Slat wuift de bedenkingen weg. Zijn zonnebril, gemaakt met oceaanafval, moet het ongelijk van de critici bewijzen. 

    “Over drie maanden vaart de eerste boot uit om plastic op te halen. Het verwerken van het afval tot korrels is al geregeld met recyclingbedrijven in Californië. Ik denk dat we over een jaar kunnen onthullen welke producten we gaan maken. Meer dan vijftig ondernemingen hebben belangstelling getoond. Zij begrijpen dat de waarde van het materiaal schuilt in het verhaal: dat het product afkomstig is uit de Great Garbage Patch.”

    We leven hoogstwaarschijnlijk in een simulatie. Elon Musk vertelt in deze populaire podcast waarom

    Elon Musk denkt dat we allemaal gevangen zitten in een Matrix-achtige schijnwereld.

    Het universum is 13,8 miljard jaar oud, dus beschavingen die elders in de kosmos zijn ontstaan hebben meer dan genoeg tijd gehad om zich te ontwikkelen, legde de baas van SpaceX uit tijdens de populaire podcast van komiek Joe Rogan.

    “Computergames zullen uiteindelijk niet te onderscheiden zijn van de realiteit, of de beschaving komt ten einde,” zei Musk. “Eén van die twee dingen gaat gebeuren.”

    Multiversum

    “Om die reden leven we hoogstwaarschijnlijk in een simulatie, omdat we bestaan,” vervolgde hij.

    Ik denk dat er heel veel simulaties zijn, aldus Musk. “Je kunt ze realiteit noemen, of het multiversum.”

    Het ‘substraat’ waar deze simulaties op draaien, wat het ook moge zijn, is waarschijnlijk nogal saai, in ieder geval in vergelijking met de simulaties zelf, vertelde hij.

    Zeker niet de enige

    “Waarom zou je een simulatie maken die saai is?” vroeg hij. “Je maakt alleen simulaties die veel interessanter zijn dan de basisrealiteit.”

    Hij voegde toe dat videospelletjes en films die mensen maken ook gaan over de dingen die het leven interessant maken.

    De miljardair is zeker niet de enige die stelt dat we in een simulatie leven. Er zijn veel natuurkundigen, kosmologen en filosofen die openstaan voor deze theorie.

    Unidentified Metal Object Near Air Force Base Raises Alarm

    It’s not often discussed in America, but military bases and testing sites are all around us. Depending on where you live, you might be only a few miles away from some seriously spooky stuff and not even realize it. Such is the case for a few perplexed and concerned homeowners in Satellite Beach, Florida this week after they discovered a strange, unidentified metal object in their backyard. Metal debris from our nation’s past is everywhere, but what makes this case curious is the home’s proximity to Patrick Air Force Base.

    All the weirdest stuff happens near Air Force bases. It is known.

    Patrick AFB is the current home of the 45th Space Wing which manages all of the unmanned launches at the Eastern Range, consisting of Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral. That means this wing oversees most launches of satellites for the military, National Reconnaissance Office, and National Security Agency. Prior to that, the base served as a base for anti-submarine operations during World War Two. With such a history, there’s no telling what might lay under the ground surrounding the base.

    Which is why homeowners are so concerned about what might lie underneath their house. Residents of Satellite Beach, Florida have for years been telling urban legends the area, and this mysterious discovery might have proven some of them true. Satellite Shores resident Sandra Sullivan discovered an unidentified metal object in her yard with a metal detector and is now concerned that the object might be leaching harmful chemicals into the ground around her home – or worse. Upon discovering the object, Sullivan got in touch with federal investigators who confirmed that the ground upon which her home sits was in fact used as a military dump. 

    Just the thing to drive property values up. For the right buyer.

    The only concrete information coming from experts who have examined the object is that it’s not a bomb and it’s not a chemical drum. That leaves, well, just about everything else. Fuel rods? Depleted uranium shells? De-engineered alien warp drives? Who knows?

    Despite the alarm, Satellite Beach City Manager Courtney Barker says that while the presence of old military hardware is alarming, noone has been harmed by any discarded materials – yet:

    I’ve heard rumors all my life because I’ve grown up here. We checked with Brevard County and our records here at the city and we’ve never received any complaints ever about anybody digging up anything in their yards.

    Barker says Satellite Beach city council members are consulting with state and federal safety experts to develop a new set of guidelines for potential dangers stemming from the area’s past as a landfill for the military’s space launches.

    And who knows what some of those satellites might have been carrying?

    While this unidentified object is in all likelihood a piece of inert scrap metal, it really makes you wonder what else might have fallen into the seas or deep underground during the last several decades of rocket launches, experimental aircraft tests, and who knows what else. The real losers in war are always civilians – even if only due to the toxic aftereffects of research, development, and testing here on good ol’ American soil. We should have listened to Eisenhower.

    Military Bases and Strange Encounters With Supernatural Entities

    When it comes to the paranormal, there seem to be certain places that are well-suited to or seem to draw the most activity. Old abandoned places, ruins, graveyards, dilapidated houses, these are the usual suspects for haunted places, but there are always exceptions to this, and certainly one of these would be military bases, and these locations also have on occasion drawn to them strange stories of the unexplained. It seems that the men and women stationed here would already have enough to worry about besides ghosts and ghouls, but here we will look at some very curious accounts of encounters with strange entities from beyond our understanding at military installations.

    One report comes from a witness called Sergeant M., who in 2015 was assigned to 24-hour-desk duty, which entails keeping a full 24-hour watch at a barracks. One of their duties was to keep an eye on soldiers who were demonstrating psychological issues or who had been confined to their barracks to protect those around them and were considered “high risk.” The witness relates a tale about one such individual, who had been kicked out for being a troublemaker and an “angry, hate filled individual that never progressed past Private Second Class in his 20 months in uniform.” The mysterious individual was also apparently rumored to be into black magic and Satanism, and most of the others had kept well away from him. According to the witness, this unruly individual left the barracks without making any effort at all to clean out his filthy room, which would be described thus:

    When he was kicked out, he left his barracks room a complete mess. I’ve seen portable toilets cleaner than his room. The toilet had been broken and didn’t flush, but he had continued to use it. In the closet there were mountains of trash, and rotten food in the sink and refrigerator. The shower was also filled with garbage and water. Aside from the mess, there were strange things as well. When the commander, First Sergeant and myself, the Supply Sergeant, went into his room, we found chicken bones tied together, hanging from strings from the ceiling. They had been lashed together to make seemingly archaic symbols. We counted roughly two dozen before we quit counting. The floor was covered in grime and candles had been lit in a circle. All of the furniture had been stacked out of the way or shoved in the closet. I’ll spare you the description of the smell. But the whole room had an unsettling feeling to it. The air in the room felt wrong. I couldn’t tell at the time if it was the smell or the filth. Whatever the reason, I didn’t want to be in there. We called a special cleanup team and put in a work order to have the room stripped and cleaned by professionals. After they were finished, the room was spotless.

    Not long after this, there allegedly began to trickle in reports of strange phenomena surrounding the room in question. Even though it was still unoccupied there were claims that things could be heard banging around within, and odd odors would also emanate from the room, such as a scent of burning plastic that could not be identified. The witness says that he ended up being assigned to the duty roster that put him into close proximity to the “haunted” room, and one evening he had a very terrifying experience as he was on duty with a private. It started when they suddenly heard a roar come from the room, which he describes as sounding “like metal tearing while someone played a recording of a scream, except distorted and in reverse.” The startled men then warily approached the room, and the witness would say of what happened next thus:

    Being the senior ranking, I instructed the soldier to call the Barracks Representative (LNO) and have him get to the desk as soon as possible. Five minutes later, he and I are using his master key to gain access to the room while my Private covers the hallway from the desk, staying with the phone and also watching our backs. As soon as we enter the foyer, we’re hit with the smell of dog poo and burned plastic. Neither of us can identify the source, but the room is completely empty. We sweep and clear every nook and cranny, later agreeing that we felt like we were being watched the whole time. We found nothing but the smell remained.

    We decided to re-secure the room and not log the incident, because I, for one, didn’t want to look like a crazy idiot when my boss’s boss read my report. We move for the door. We exit, turn and go to close the door behind us when a massive force hits the door from inside the room, shoving the Barracks Representative out of the doorway and slamming the door shut. None of the doors are allowed to slam, they all have hydraulic arms at the top to prevent that. They’re not even quick to close if a 200 lb male leans on them, so one slamming so hard it could move a grown man is impossible – especially considering it had worked moments prior when we entered the room.

    We tried to open the lock again, but this time the keycard wouldn’t work. We agreed that neither of us wanted to go in again anyway, and we agreed not to report any of it, because we would be taken as seriously as anyone else. After that incident, I kept an ear out but didn’t hear anything nearly as dramatic again. On another occasion, it sounded like there was some kind of shuffling coming from the room, like someone moving around, but I kept a stalwart face about it and ordered my private to stay away from it as well. To this day, I cannot explain what happened in that room.

    What was this? Was it some sort of demonic entity conjured up by the troubled soldier who had left? It is hard to say. In another case defying classification the tale is told by the nephew of the eyewitness, but it is no less spooky. The uncle, called Bob, was reportedly a new soldier in the Army in 1985, and at the time he was on fence patrol duty at a base in Arizona. As he and a partner made their way around the perimeter, he claimed that they had heard an anomalous noise from behind them, and turned to see a strange sight indeed. According to the one relaying the account:

    When they turned around, they saw an old man dressed in buckskin with long hair in braids. Bob described it was being so grey that “it almost glowed”. The man was standing approximately thirty feet behind them. Both men drew their weapons, as the old man was in a “shoot to kill” area, with warning signs all over the place. Neither Bob or the other man wanted to shoot an old man. They figured that he must have Alzheimer’s, and had wandered into the base or something. After all, he was not being threatening, and appeared harmless.

    The men shouted to the old man, telling him he was in a restricted area and that he needed to put his hands in the air. Bob thought they’d walk him to post call and call the local police department who would be able to get him back home. Bob tried the radio, but it was just static. Calling his friend to help, both he and Bob turned to tinker with the walkie. Although they only looked away for “half a second”, to quote my uncle, when they turned back the old man was gone. In his place was a massive cottontail (rabbit), just sitting there, watching them.

    The two startled men looked around to see if the old man was still around, but the mysterious stranger was gone, nowhere to be seen. All that was there was this rabbit sitting there staring at them in the desert night. They warily continued on with their duty, and shortly after heard the noise again, this time from the opposite side of the perimeter fence. When they looked, they were shocked to see the same old man standing there on the other side, staring in at them. Since this was a military base, the fence was very high, around 10 feet, and decked out with razor wire, very secure, so it seemed impossible that the old man could have gotten over the fence so quickly without being detected. This was frightening enough that the two men quickly got out of there and never spoke of it with their commanding officer.

    This case is particularly interesting due to the location, Arizona, and the apparent shapeshifting quality of the strange intruder. One phenomena often reported from the southwest United States is that of what are called Skinwalkers, basically shape changing entities from Native lore that have been sighted all over the region by often very reliable witnesses. Is that what these two men saw? Unfortunately, this is a second hand account that is impossible to verify, so it is all left to imagination and speculation.

    If it was a Skinwalker it certainly wouldn’t be the only one reported by military personnel. In the wake of my own article outlining my personal experiences with a group of what could have very well been these creatures, I was given a curious account by a reader who says he encountered one in New Mexico, where he had been stationed at the White Sands Missile Range. According to the witness, he had been on guard duty one evening along with a partner and it was typically a rather uneventful, even boring duty, yet on this night they would have a frightening  encounter that has stayed with them ever since.

    White Sands Missile Range

    The witness says that as they conducted their patrol his partner stopped him and pointed off into the barren surrounding desert wilderness, where there appeared to be two pinpoints of light hovering over the scrub, around 6 feet in the air. Thinking it was perhaps just a wild animal, they crept closer to its position to find that it seemed to be a tall, dark figure just standing out there in the middle of nowhere in the dark. It then became apparent that this cloaked individual was a man, although with a deeply wrinkled face that looked “ancient.” The witness would describe what happened next:

    We were a little spooked because there should have been no one out there at this time, especially that close to the base. And this guy, he gave off a weird vibe, just standing there staring at us even as we approached. His face, he looked like he was maybe Native American, and I couldn’t tell so well but his skin looked creased, craggy and pockmarked, somehow ancient. He was wrapped up in some kind of cape or cloak and we couldn’t see his hands or feet. We called out to him to identify himself but this guy, he didn’t flinch. I don’t even know if he heard us or not.

    Well, now we are a bit unsettled, and think we are dealing with a seriously disturbed individual or some senile old fart from a reservation, so we know we have to apprehend him or at least get him out of there. We start getting closer to this guy, who is still standing stock still like a statue and that is when it happens BOOM, he just sort of drops, there is a flutter of the cape, and he is gone. Just gone. My partner calls out in surprise and right then a coyote runs right past us, practically close enough to touch, before dashing off into the night. That old guy, there is no sign of him. It freaked us out for sure.

    It seems like a classic Skinwalker encounter. What did those guys see out there? There have been strange paranormal encounters reported from bases in other areas of the world as well. One account was given by a witness named Adolph Schäfer, who claims to be the equivalent of a sergeant in the unified armed forces of Germany, called the Bundeswehr. He claims to have had a very anomalous experience when he was just a cadet at boot camp in East Germany. One evening at around 5 PM they were apparently out doing drills when they heard some sort of “eerie, unexplainable noises” coming from one of the nearby buildings. They did not think much of it at the time, but then at 8PM the power grid began to go on the fritz, with lights flickering everywhere, which was odd as it had been inspected just a few days before.

    The base drill sergeant was convinced that it was just a faulty generator, and had the witness go out with three others to fix it. The men then made their way to the basement where the generators were kept, and there they found that two of the generators worked fine, although one had inexplicably been turned off. It was when they got to the larger third generator when things would get ominous down there in the dank basement, and the witness says of what happened thus:

    The third generator was the largest main source of power in the base. The first thing I noticed were the scratches: this seemingly super-hard-to-break hunk of metal had what I think were scratches and cuts – claw marks – piercing its outer metal shell like a buzzsaw. So deep, the scratches had cut the cords inside and had damaged the batteries as though they were paper. After a moment of thinking I knew this couldn’t have been a person doing this, seeing as nothing any cadet had could cut through that tough metal so easily, I immediately rushed up the stairs to tell my drill sergeant, hoping he would know what to do. He told me, “The most we can do is tell base command and put someone guard the door, and have the generator replaced. Good thing reporting this, cadet Schäfer.

    After getting a pat on the back, I resumed my daily training routines without anything too odd happening. But some hours later, sometime in the night (I can’t be exactly sure when), I heard scratching noises, but not from the basement, they were too close and too loud… as if they were in the sleeping quarters. After that moment of realization, I opened my eyes and looked around. I saw what I thought was someone in the corner, going through a bag… But, when I looked around the room, sheer terror came into me: all the bunks were full, every one.

    “Wait….the hell?”, I thought to myself. But, then, as if it had heard what I was thinking, the “thing” in the corner turned to face me. It was a pale grey, with no nose, and claws like razors. This thing was skinny and two feet taller than my six-foot self. After that I just froze in a blank stare of horror. In my mind seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned to hours and hours turned to days….I think I passed out of terror, because all I remember after that is waking up to my buddies and sergeant looking at me, while talking to me, telling me I looked sick. And I felt sick too, like all energy from me was drained for days on end.

    Also strange is another case from way over in Afghanistan, where a witness named Jerry Aberdeen saw something very unusual during his tour of duty out in that forsaken wasteland. It is an account that seems hard to really categorize, but seeming to deal with ghosts, demons, or some other supernatural being.

    The incident happened to him while he was stationed at an air base in in Mosul, Ninewah Province in 2004, and the witness would say:

    I was attached to 2/3 INF 3 SBCT at FOB Patriot. A call went out on the radio that FOB Diamondback (the airfield) was under attack. Everyone on every FOB from, Courage, Blickenstaff, Patriot and Marez jumped into the closest vehicle and headed to the airfield to counter the attack. I was in a vehicle with some other infantry guys, an engineer and a PsyOps guy. When we got to the airfield we saw some dudes trying to climb over the wall. The gunner opened up on them and the rest of us took up a position in a ditch on the other side of the road and opened fire. There were three of us side by side, the engineer, the PsyOps guys and myself. We fired and one guy and he dropped from the top of the wall (hard to tell who actually shot him). Right after he fell there was stream of black smoke coming out of him. The engineer made that comment that he must have been wearing a suicide vest and it malfunctioned. A few seconds later the black smoke grew larger and started to take a human looking form. What happened next all three of us saw and there was no doubt. The now fully materialized black smoke was standing upright and now had red smoky glowing eyes and a weird looking mouth. The damn thing actually smiled at us and turned to, sort of run but it just dissipated after it took a few steps. Very hard to describe how it all happened. All three of us just looked at each other wide eyed for a second or two. After it was all over we only spoke about once then never again.

    What sort of entity was this, if it ever really existed at all? There is no way to know. And that seems to be a recurring theme with all of these reports. Here we have looked at an assortment of cases of what seem to be very odd paranormal entities of some sort, but which seem to elude easy categorization. What are these things and what do they want? Are we looking at ghosts, Skinwalkers, demons, or all of the above? Considering the range of differences between these cases there is probably no clear answer that can explain all of them, and they probably represent very different disparate phenomena, but one common question we can ask why have they been drawn to these military installations? Or are these merely creepy campfire stories being told by some soldiers for a good laugh? As usual we are left with some very jolting accounts and hints, but no clear answers to any of these, and once again we have more to pile onto the great big pile of weird things we may never understand.

    One of the Wildest UFO Yarns of All

    Born in Township, Minnesota in 1908, Daniel William Fry claimed a distinctly close encounter of the alien kind while working at the White Sands Proving Ground, New Mexico: he asserted he took a flight in an extraterrestrial spacecraft – on Independence Day, 1949, no less – to New York and back in barely half-an-hour! So the story went, Fry intended to celebrate the holiday period with colleagues and friends from the base in the nearby town of Las Cruces. Unfortunately, he missed the bus and was forced to remain on-base – utterly alone.

    It was, said Fry, a blisteringly-hot night; and given the fact that the air-conditioning system in his quarters was pretty much useless and made the room “unbearably hot and stuffy,” he decided to do a bit of exploring in the vast expanse of desert that makes up what is today called the White Sands Missile Range. It’s highly unlikely that Fry ever anticipated coming into contact with a being from another world while he roamed the isolated area; and yet that is precisely what he said did happen.

    White Sands Missile Range Museum

    “I headed first in the direction of the old static test stand, on which we were mounting our largest rocket motor,” said Fry. “About two thirds of the way to the test stand, a small dirt road intersects the main road, and leads off to the right toward the base of the Organ Mountains.” He added: “Directly ahead of me, and just over the peaks of the Organ Mountains, an especially bright group of stars seemed to beckon to me as I walked leisurely along. Then, suddenly, the brightest of the stars simply went out…something I could not see was eclipsing the light of the star.” Fry soon found out what that something was. Out of the skies descended “a spheroid, considerably flattened at the top and bottom. The vertical dimension was about sixteen feet, and the horizontal dimension about thirty feet at the widest point…if viewed from directly below it might appear to be saucer shaped, but actually it was more nearly like a soup bowl inverted over a sauce dish.”

    As Fry looked on in complete and utter awe (“as a child might stare at the rabbit which a stage magician has just pulled from his hat”), a disembodied voice – that went by the name of A-lan – told the shocked Fry that the fantastic device appearing before him was being remotely-controlled by a “mother-ship” orbiting the planet at a height of around 900 miles. Then there came a truly bombshell-style question: would Fry like to take a ride across the country in the alien craft? Of course, the answer was: Yes! And so – Fry maintained – that’s exactly what he did. He jumped aboard and was whisked across the night-sky to New York and back in no more than half-an-hour. The journey may not have been a long one; but it was said to have been a highly profound one. While Fry was on-board the futuristic flying machine, the voice of A-lan related a wealth of data relative to the forgotten and lost history of human culture:

    “Tens of thousands of years ago, some of our ancestors lived upon this planet, Earth. There was, at that time, a small continent in a part of the now sea-covered area which you have named the Pacific Ocean. Some of your ancient legends refer to this sunken land mass as the ‘Lost Continent of Lemuria or Mu.’ Our ancestors had built a great empire and mighty science upon this continent. At the same time, there was another rapidly developing race upon a land mass in the southwestern portion of the present Atlantic Ocean. In your legends, this continent has been named Atlantis.”

    According to A-lan, “increasing bitterness” between the two cultures, as well as “their constantly increasing command of destructive energies,” led to a catastrophic war. He explained to Fry: “…the resulting nuclear radiation was so intense and so widespread, that the entire surface became virtually unfit for habitation, for a number of generations.” Before departing (having thoughtfully returned Fry to White Sands), and in a fashion that would become all-too-typical of the Space-Brothers, A-lan gave Fry a message pertaining to the potential for overwhelming atomic disaster that faced modern-day humanity: “As nuclear weapons proliferate among your nations, it should always be remembered that ‘An ounce of understanding is worth a megaton of deterrent.’”

    In 1954, shortly after going public with his fantastic story, Fry outright flunked a lie-detector test; and it was later learned that his much-flaunted “doctorate,” bestowed upon him around early 1960, had, in reality, been obtained via a London, England mail-order organization called the Saint Andrews College. But this did not stop Fry from developing a large following of like-minded individuals. From 1954 onward, Fry delivered numerous lectures across the United States, and wrote such publications as Atoms, Galaxies and UnderstandingTo Men of EarthSteps to the StarsCurve of DevelopmentCan God Fill Teeth?; and Verse and Worse.

    One year later, he established a group that went by the name of Understanding Inc., and which, in 1959, was described as follows: “From a start of nine members at El Monte, California in 1955, Understanding Inc., has grown into an international organization of more than sixty units and many members-at-large throughout the world. These units and members have sponsored hundreds of lectures and meetings, circulated thousands of books and magazines to reach many people in the spirit of ‘bringing about a greater degree of understanding among all the peoples of the earth and preparing them for their eventual inevitable meetings with other races in space.’”

    Such was the interest in Fry’s claims of alien contact thatUnderstanding Inc. went on to publish a monthly newsletter that ran for no less than 23 years: nearly 250 issues were published between 1956 and 1979. Moreover, at its height, in the early 1960s, Understanding Inc. was able to boast of almost 1,500 members, and became the recipient of an impressive 55-acres of land near Tonopah, Arizona that had been donated by a Reverend Enid Smith. The true irony of this was that the buildings, first intended by Smith to act as a religious college, were shaped like classic flying saucers. Understanding, Inc. took full control of the property by 1976; however, with membership of Understanding, Inc. falling by that point, and with Fry’s finances not being what they once were, the site ultimately fell into disrepair: in late September and early October 1978, the kitchen and the library were burned to the ground by an arsonist and were never rebuilt. And further tragedy followed: one year later, Fry’s second wife, Florence, died from breast-cancer – he had divorced wife number-one, Elma, in 1964.

    Although Fry’s place within the annals of Ufology was largely over by the dawning of the 1980s, he continued to give the occasional lecture and interview, before ultimately passing on in December 1992 – still standing by his every claim of that strange, long-gone,  }4, 1949 night when he sailed high across the starlit skies of the United States, with nothing but an intergalactic disembodied voice for company.

    My view on all this? Fry was a great storyteller. And I do mean stories. His photos and footage of alleged flying saucers were far from being credible. He failed a lie-detector. And his “doctorate” came via mail-order. Time to move on to far more credible things, methinks…

    Strange fireball-shaped object hovering in the sky over Toronto

    The city’s skies lit up Thursday evening with what appeared to be a fireball-shaped object hovering in the night sky.


    The mysterious, large ball appeared before midnight, prompting reports of UFO sightings in Pickering and Scarborough.

    The strange glowing orb flickering in the eastern sky caused quite a stir on social media, one user said just hovered in the sky instead of moving or disappearing.

    It looks like the mysterious light source, is coming from below a disk shaped object then the footage shows also a smaller orb flying away from the light source.

    Mile Long UFO Caught During Sunset Over Reykjavik, Iceland On Sept 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.


    Date of sighting: Sept 9, 2018
    Location of sighting: Artun, Reykjavik, Iceland
    Source: MUFON #94745

    This UFO was caught just today and was seen during sunset over Iceland. The UFO measures over a mile across has a shape of large disk, AKA flying saucer. This is a fantastic video of the UFO and it appears he didn't see the craft till viewing the video at home, otherwise he probably would have focused in it a lot more. 


    I often say its easiest to record a UFO during sunset, because the angle of the setting sun, the UFO and the eyewitness makes a perfect triangle which causes the cloaked UFO to be revealed...for a few minutes only. This is one beautiful alien craft. 


    Such UFOs have been seen recently by a pilot over the ocean near the UK back in 2007. Click here to see interview with pilot

    Scott C. Waring

    Eyewitness states: 

    I saw it directly over the N1 gasoline station in Artun, Reykjavik.
