Man infiltrates Solar Observatory and finds X-files Unrestricted Access DVD in a building!
Man infiltrates Solar Observatory and finds X-files Unrestricted Access DVD in a building!
Mystery continues to surround the sudden shutdown last week of the national Sunspot Solar Observatory in New Mexico, and has remained closed since without explanation.
The observatory, nearby “White Sands Missile Range”, built by the U.S. military in 1947 has been involved in solar research since that time, when it realized the sun could interfere with radio communications.
Since authorities are tight-lipped, people are starting to carry out research on their own.
One man has filmed the Solar Observatory with its drone, see video here, but another man has infiltrated the restricted area and has filmed it all.
The video is outright eerie, but the most bizarre moment, albeit in a coincidental way, is when he spots an X-Files Unrestricted Access DVD laying out prominently in one of the buildings.
The man who found the X-files Unrestricted Access DVD said that there was a weird smell inside the building.
He also talked to other people outside the gate who said that every single house is empty and nothing has cleaned up, they moved out very quickly.
Why do astronomers have such a DVD in their possession and later on to put the dvd for the video game X-files Unrestricted Access in the trash just inside of a locked door at the abandoned Sunspot Solar Observatory is very suspicious or it must be that they deliberately have placed the dvd in plain sight for a reason.
It is just speculation but the X-files Unrestricted Access DVD could be a hint that they accidentally have transmitted signals to aliens and got a response? Did they have received signals or messages from an extraterrestrial race or eventual astronomers with ‘unrestricted access’ already had contact with aliens in our solar system or near the sun and something went wrong?
Throughout human history there have been those mysterious books, artifacts and relics said to hold some sort of vast powers or mystical knowledge. History is steeped in such tales, and there have been many who have spent their whole lives trying to find these lost artifacts. One such item that has managed to elude clear understanding is an ancient text etched upon stone, which would go on to become one of the most influential manuscripts on the practice of alchemy and a basis for much occult knowledge, but which remains buried in the mists of time. It is an item of alleged great power, holding secrets of magic, alchemy, the human mind, and possibly even the universe itself.
One of the cornerstones of early alchemy was a mysterious tablet said to contain a vast trove of secrets of magic and the universe and which would go on to become one of the most revered and sought after pieces of magical documentation in all of Western Occultism. Referred to variously as the Smaragdine Table, Tabula Smaragdina, or more commonly simply the Emerald Tablet, this elusive object is said to be one or even a series of rectangular green plaques, onto which are etched various symbols and inscriptions that spell out all manner of magical knowledge, in particular having to do with alchemy and the transmutation of matter from one form to another, as well as the method for creating the legendary Philosopher’s Stone and for manipulating the very matter of the universe itself. It is even said to hold the secrets to transforming one’s own consciousness and attaining a sort of enhanced conscious state and enlightenment.
While the appearance and the secrets contained within are mostly agreed upon, the tablet has a murky history wreathed in the unknown, which has obfuscated its true origins and author. The most commonly cited version has it that the tablet was originally written by the father of Hermetic magic and alchemy himself, the legendary 5th century philosopher and priest Hermes Trismegistus, back in ancient Greece. Hermes supposedly wrote the Hermetic Corpus, a series of sacred texts that are the basis of Hermeticism, and the Emerald Tablet is said to have been his masterpiece. Other myriad theories include that the tablet was written by the son of the biblical Adam and Eve, Seth, that it was discovered clutched in the priest’s dead hands in a tomb under the statue of Hermes in Tyan in the 8th century by an Arabic mage named Balinas, that it was unearthed by Alexander that Great in an Egyptian tomb, or even that it was created by Thoth, the king priest of Atlantis a full 38,000 years ago.
Whatever the case may be, legends flock to and surround the tablet and where it went off to. One common tale is that it was buried under the Pyramids in Egypt, while others claim it was sequestered away within the Ark of the Covenant or that is was returned to the buried ruins of Atlantis. With so many legends and myths spiraling about the Emerald Tablet, it is hard to say who wrote it or when, or where it is now. What is known is that it was first translated into Latin by Hugo von Santalla in the 12th century, and that at least in this version Hermes Trismegistus is credited as the author. It is also known that the alleged writings upon it were highly influential in alchemy at the time, and this makes it all the more curious that no evidence of the actual physical existence of the lost tablet has ever been uncovered. We only know of it from written accounts and various translations, and some of these were from highly influential people, including Roger Bacon, Michael Maier, Aleister Crowley, Albertus Magnus, Eric John Holmyard, Julius Ruska, and Carl Jung, who claimed to have been visited by the tablet in his dreams.
A reconstruction of what the Emerald Tablet might look like.
None of these translations is exactly the same and may or may not be based on what was actually written on the physical tablet, and further complicating matters is the fact that interpretations of what is written vary from writer to writer. Perhaps the most well-known and intriguing of the various translations and commentaries on the Emerald Tablet was penned by none other than the English scientist, mathematician, astronomer, theologian, and philosopher Sir Isaac Newton, who actually wrote a surprising amount of work on the subject of alchemy. Newton allegedly spent much time working with the text of the tablet, and managed to produce one of the more famous translated sections, which reads:
Tis true without lying, certain and most true.
That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing
And as all things have been and arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse.
The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.
Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry.
It ascends from the earth to the heaven and again it descends to the earth and receives the force of things superior and inferior.
By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
Its force is above all force. For it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.
So was the world created.
From this are and do come admirable adaptations whereof the means (or process) is here in this. Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world
That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished and ended.
The meaning seems very open to interpretation, but Newton purportedly was very impressed by the knowledge and processes written of on the tablet, and it has been postulated that it could have even had an influence on his theories of the laws of motion and universal gravitation. He is also said to have believed that the tablet contained the literal recipe for creating the legendary Philosopher’s Stone, and that if one could comprehend the text and its intricate, arcane messages and geometrical patterns then they would acquire the ability to fashion the stone. Newton was by many accounts actually quite obsessed with the Philosopher’s Stone, writing much about it, and he believed the Emerald Tablet was the key. He also supposedly found within the text all manner of alchemical secrets, which he believed to be not merely symbolic, but that these were literal processes that could be carried out and performed in a laboratory setting. He would write of the tablet:
I am a skeptic by nature but I have no alternative than to offer subjective support to the claim that the Emerald Tablet has transformative properties. There are other things besides the transmutation of metals which none but they understand.
Isaac Newton
Did Newton gain any secrets from the tablet and did it indeed influence his work? No one really knows. It is all very intriguing, but in the end there is no certainty that any of those who have translated the tablet ever even saw the actual tablet themselves. It seems more likely that they worked with alleged transcripts of the original tablet, and that there is a very good chance that much of the information was changed or corrupted over time and through subsequent translations throughout history. There is also the possibility that this seemingly almost mythical tablet may have never even existed at all, that this is all merely a legend that has taken on a life of its own. Considering all of the conflicting and often confusing information on the Emerald Tablet, as well as the uncertainty over who actually supposedly wrote it or where it came from, we are left with very little that is concrete, and cannot adequately unravel the myth from any possible reality.
We are in the end left with many questions and few answers. Was there ever this mystical Emerald tablet upon which were emblazoned profound secrets of the universe? How did this come to be such a foundation for alchemy throughout history? Who wrote this and where did it go to? What exactly did it contain, and was it literal methods of alchemy and magic or merely symbolic? Did any of it actually work and if so, how? Did the tablet ever even exist at all? The possible answers to this historical enigma are varied, but we will likely not know until that mysterious green tablet is finally found, buried out there somewhere and lost to time.
In May 1951, one year into the Korean War, PFC Francis P. Wall and his regiment found themselves stationed near Chorwon, about 60 miles north of Seoul. As they were preparing to bombard a nearby village with artillery, all of a sudden, the soldiers saw a strange sight up in the hills—like “a jack-o-lantern come wafting down across the mountain.”
What happened after—the pulsing, “attacking” light, the lingering debilitating symptoms—would mystify many for decades to come.
As the GIs watched, the craft made its way down into the village, where the artillery air bursts were starting to explode. “We further noticed that this object would get right into...the center of an airburst of artillery and yet remain unharmed,” Wall later told John P. Timmerman of the Center for UFO Studies in a 1987 interview. Suddenly, the object turned, Wall said. And whereas at first, it had glowed orange, now it was a pulsating blue-green brilliant light. He asked his company commander for permission to fire at the object with armor-piercing bullets from an M-I rifle. As the bullets hit the body of the craft, he recalled, they made a metallic “ding.” The object started behaving still more erratically, shunting from side to side as its lights flashed on and off.
Wall’s recollections of what happened next are stranger still. “We were attacked,” he said, “swept by some form of a ray that was emitted in pulses, in waves that you could visually see only when it was aiming directly at you. That is to say, like a searchlight sweeps around and the segments of light...you would see it coming at you.”
He remembered a burning, tingling sensation sweeping over his body, as if he were being penetrated. The men rushed into underground bunkers and peeped through the windows, watching as the craft hovered above them and then shot off, at a 45-degree angle. “It's that quick,” he said. “It was there and was gone.”
Three days after the incident, the entire company of men was evacuated by ambulance, with special roads cut to haul out those too weak to walk. When they finally received medical treatment, they were found to have dysentery and an extremely high white- blood- cell count. “To me,” says Richard F. Haines, a UFO researcher and former NASA scientist, “they had symptoms that sounded like the effects of radiation.”
Was it an experimental new Soviet weapon?
In the wake of the Korean War, which ended in July 1953, dozens of men have reported seeing similar unidentified flying objects over the course of the 37-month conflict. The craft often resembled flying saucers. According to unofficial reports, as many as 42 were corroborated by additional witness reports—an average of more than one a month in just over three years.
At first, according to Korean war historian Paul M. Edwards, many researchers believed that the sightings were Soviet experiments, based on German technology and foreign research in anti-gravity. “These were supposedly so large they could carry 50 tons of weight and were powered by electromagnetic propulsion,” he writes in Unusual Footnotes to the Korean War. “What was being sighted, it was suggested, were discs the Russians were testing over the Korean skies.” But in the years since the fall of the Soviet UnionIron Curtain came down, a number of Soviet reports of sighting UFOs over Korea have trickled in, discrediting these theories.
Why were there so many UFO sightings throughout the Korean war? Were they the product of thousands of exhausted men under incredible stress—or a sign of something more mysterious? From 1952 until 1986, the United States Air Force ran Project Blue Book, a systematic study into unidentified flying objects and their potential threat to national security. When it was shuttered, in December 1969, the Air Force announced they had found nothing of note, and terminated all activity under the auspices of the study.
But many believe that the project ended abortively, and that there was more work to be done—leading to similar interviews with witnesses and other investigations being done by dozens of volunteers for decades after the project ended. Haines is one of them. He describes himself as a scientist with an open mind, rather than someone with something to prove. “I don't believe in them, I don't not believe in them,” he says. “I'm trying to let the data convince me one way or the other, which is the scientific approach.” But, he says, it’s striking how many accounts there are of similar sightings in the Korean War and other conflicts.
Other explanations?
In the early years of the Cold War, it was often theorized that these crafts might be Soviet or Chinese vessels, with technology unknown to American troops. Haines believes this theory has been conclusively disproved.
“If they were,” he says, “they would have been building those crafts for use in later wars like the Vietnam War, for instance.” The Soviet UFO sightings Edwards describes make it similarly unlikely—as do the impossibly high-tech specifications of some of the sightings. In Wall’s case, for instance, he described a kind of force field taking effect a while after he began shooting, where his bullets simply ricocheted away from the craft.
Haines, for his part, believes the rash of sightings across the Korean war might suggest that something in the universe is especially interested in how human beings behave in the throng of military action. “We tend to be very creative to fight a war,” Haines says, listing off the various sciences and technologies that might come into play in military action. “If you were interested in how another country or another race of people fought their wars, you’d want to collect information on that, wouldn’t you?” He trails off. “That’s one possible explanation. There may be others.”
But the vast majority of UFO sightings—as much as 80 percent—are later found to be totally ordinary phenomena, like clouds or human crafts, rather than anything otherworldly. In Wall’s case, precisely what he saw that day has never been conclusively proven or disproven. Without the testimony of other men in Wall’s regiment, it’s hard to ascertain whether they too had the same strange experience—, even if it can be corroborated that many did get very ill.
Why such long-lasting after-effects?
In the years following the war, Wall lost contact with many of the men in his regiment. After the experience, he remembered his company agreeing that they would not file a report, “because they'd lock every one of us up, and think we were crazy,” he told Timmerman. What made him choose to make a testimony, however, was the lasting after-effects of his illness, including permanent weight loss from 180 pounds to 138, stomach problems and periods of disorientation and memory loss after returning to the United States.
He retired in 1969, at the age of just 42, his daughter Renae Denny says, and spent 30 years out of work, struggling with the after-effects of the war. “Back then they didn’t know the name of it, but I guess you could say it was a form of PTSD,” she says. Over the years, he would tell and retell the tale of his strange UFO sighting. “The story was always the same,” says Denny. “It never changed through the years.” But there was other fallout: He was especially affected by the sounds of airplanes and once knocked his mother and sister to the ground after mistaking them for enemy troops. “I guess he would have flashbacks,” she says.
Wall’s recollections of the UFO sighting were consistent and acute. But whether what he remembered actually happened is harder to prove. Fighting conditions were almost intolerably stressful, and it’s entirely possible that he may have experienced some kind of hallucination, brought on by the terror of the situation, where he regularly feared for his life. It might also have been a moment of feverish delirium: Even the raised white-blood cell count that surprised army doctors, and Haines, is consistent with many of the bacterial infections which might also cause severe dysentery—as are hallucinations. In a later interview with Haines, Wall described how he had discussed what he saw with some 25 other men—but none ever came forward or could later be traced.
In 2002, British researchers demonstrated a link between UFO sightings and Cold War hysteria—and pointed out how the number of sightings had nosedived as radar improved. “That cannot be a coincidence,” David Clarke told the Guardian. “Those early confirmations were just a product of a primitive radar system.” The flurry of UFO sightings Haines describes may have been the dual effect of these two threats: a potentially world-destroying war on the horizon, and the incredible pressure of being in the military.
Wall had experiences in those years in Korea that would scar him until his death in 1999. One night, Denny says, he managed to make his way through a pitch-dark minefield, praying for his life as he went. Others who made the same journey were not so fortunate. “When he went in [to the war],” she says, “he was happy-go-lucky, just a totally different person to when he came out.”
Whether the UFO sightings that Wall and so many other men reported were a product of this personality-altering trauma, or the effects of something requiring much greater investigation, remains a mystery.

Major-General Wilfred de Brouwer and UFOs
General de Brouwer states, “In any case, the Air Force has arrived to the conclusion that a certain number of anomalous phenomena has been produced within Belgian airspace. The numerous testimonies of ground observations compiled in this [SOBEPS] book, reinforced by the reports of the night of March 30-31 [1990], have led us to face the hypothesis that a certain number of unauthorized aerial activities have taken place. Until now, not a single trace of aggressiveness has been signaled; military or civilian air traffic has not been perturbed nor threatened. We can therefore advance that the presumed activities do not constitute a direct menace. The day will come undoubtedly when the phenomenon will be observed with technological means of detection and collection that won’t leave a single doubt about its origin. This should lift a part of the veil that has covered the mystery for a long time. A mystery that continues to the present. But it exists, it is real, and that in itself is an important conclusion. Major-General Wilfred de Brouwer, Deputy Chief, Royal Belgian Air Force, “Postface” in SOBEPS’ Vague d’OVNI sur la Belgique – Un Dossier Exceptionnel, Brussels: SOBEPS, 1991.
Major General Wilfried De Brouwer headed the Operations Division in the Belgian Air Staff and helped investigate a rash of sightings over Belgium in 1989. For two years hundreds of people in Belgium saw a triangular craft of hundred and twenty feet on each if three sides. Usually its brilliant beaming spotlights were spotted.” The triangle flew slowly above the Belgian countryside and was spotted by police and military personnel as well as by the public. It made no noise but could accelerate instantly and easily outrun the fastest fighter aircraft. Belgium’s defense minister, Guy Coeme, asked De Brouwer to handle the sightings personally and visual and radar sightings proved unbelievable maneuverability and speed far in advance of any known aircraft. The triangle was invading Belgian airspace despite NATO cooperation. De Brouwer interviewed hundreds of eyewitnesses including high ranking military officers. The US, UK, France and Germany all denied that the craft was theirs. Thirteen different police officers spotted and chased the craft with rectangular windows and a dome on the top.

Charlie Quinn writes, “I think that Bill Clinton tried to gradually sensitize the American people to the evident reality of penetration of our air space by UFOs and the clear and present danger that they represent.”
Documents released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal the deep involvement of Mrs. Clinton in the Rockefeller Initiative to try to force the White House to release an alleged stash of confidential files on UFO and alien sightings and research across all departments.
Yesterday, Express.co.uk told how the Clintons had refused to discuss their respective roles in the failed bid to ensure the release of such files 21 years ago.
Their involvement came after a briefing on the disclosure movement from the late billionaire philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller at his extensive ranch in August 1995.
Today, in the second part of our investigation, we reveal how the powerful businessman’s bid to get the truth out there seemingly pitted the controversial husband and wife against each other, with the latter helping Rockefeller with drafts of the letter.
Further confirmation of that fact can be gleaned from the motion picture “Contact”. In that movie, which clearly tended to ESTABLISH alien contact with human beings, Clinton allowed videotapes of himself to be used in the context of the movie. While there was an official declaration that the President did not endorse the theme of the movie, he is shown in one film clip saying… “Yes, this is true. It is a fact”.
Jodie Foster in Contact
Webb Hubbell , in his book, stated that Clinton, as President, assigned him to find out as much as possible about the existence of UFOs and Hubbell, as we know, remains a loyal supporter of Clinton and friend. Is all of this just coincidence? I think not. In his book, “The Day after Roswell”, Colonel Corso stated, “Clearly that S.D.I- the so-called Star Wars program was developed to provide a shield of protection , not against Russian aggression, but against the aggression of alien cultures.” It has been successful in shooting down some UFOs. I also believe that the Egyptian air crash was due to a complete power failure while in flight – a power failure that could – – – I emphasize the word “could”– be explained by interference caused by UFOs. Thanks to Charlie Quinn
Hillary and Bill Clinton pictured separately with Laurence Rockefeller at his ranch in August 1995
The buzz is noises from the camp of presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton amid claims she will force “UFO disclosure” if she makes it to the White House. The disclosure movement seeks release of ALL top-secret and confidential files held by US authorities on anything to do with aliens and UFOs. Conspiracy theorists and Ufologists claimed various governments have evidence of alien visitations which have been withheld from the public amid fears over potential impacts on religion, science and the rule of law.
Bill and Hillary have long intrigued the movement after making little publicized moves in the 1990s to bring about disclosure after meeting with Laurence Rockefeller. Things really heated up in January when Mrs. Clinton said she wanted to open up on what is happening at the mysterious Area 51 military base in Nevada, where UFO conspiracists believe evidence of alien technology is hidden away.
Responding to questions about UFOs during an interview in New Hampshire, she said: “I am going to get to the bottom of it.” Thanks to Paradigm Research Group. Washington (CNN)There has long been an air of conspiracy surrounding theories of alien life, and the head of Hillary Clinton’s campaign said Thursday, “It’s time to do away with the secrecy. On May 16, 2016, 2016, Hillary Clinton promised if elected she would investigate the alien phenomenon. Could this be the actual reason she lost the election?
CNN’s Jake Tapper pulled aside Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, who was a guest on “The Lead,” to talk aliens. “The U.S. government could do a much better job in answering the quite legitimate questions that people have about what’s going on with unidentified aerial phenomena,” Podesta said.
Podesta has made his interest in the possibility of alien life and conspiratorial leanings toward Area 51 well known. During his time serving in the Obama administration, Podesta tweeted, “Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files. #thetruthisstilloutthere cc: @NYTimesDowd and Wikipedia.”
Mars Town and Writing
Norman Bryden writes, “Images show a probable travel system laid out on Mars as a grid, with buildings located within the matrix.
Some of the light-colored road-like structures appear as two lanes of traffic separated by dividers. Bridges and underpasses are present.
There may also be vegetation growing in the photo. The dark areas suggest a large
group of trees or large plants.
Z AEgO L CL
Many places on Mars have large signs that can be seen from space while ground level rocks frequently contain what appears to be an alphabet similar to English letters. The modern English alphabetis a Latin alphabet consisting of 26 letters, each having an uppercase and a lowercase form: The same letters constitute the ISO basic Latin alphabet. The Latin script, was introduced by Christian missionaries into England that began to replace the Anglo-Saxon futhorc from about the 7th century. In the year 1011, a monk namedByrhtferð recorded the traditional order of the Old English alphabet. He listed the 24 letters of the Latin alphabet first (including ampersand), then 5 additional English letters, starting with the Tironian noteond (⁊), an insular symbol for and: A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P Q R S T V X Y Z & ⁊ Ƿ Þ Ð Æ.
It seems logical that Martian lettering is much older than English,: tin pr Greek and suggest Martian writing was transferred to Earth. The similarity of the letters appears to be more than a coincidence. There is speculation Martians brought writing from Mars to Earth thousands of years ago possibly after a disaster on Mars. Gravity on Mars is only one third 0.375 that of Earth and less than half the speed is needed to blast off from Mars than from Earth…
Are These Relics from a Lost, Ancient Martian Civilization?
Cosmonaut Victor Afanasyev Sees UFO in Orbit
Victor writes, “It followed us during half of our orbit.We observed it on the light side, and when we entered the shadow side, it disappeared completely.
It was an engineered structure, made from some type of metal, approximately 40 meters long with inner hulls.
The object was narrow here and wider here, and inside there were openings. Some places had projections like small wings.
The object stayed very close to us. We photographed it, and our photos showed it to be 23 to 28 meters away.“Cosmonaut Afanasyev commented on sightings of an alien UFO sighting that occurred while traveling to the Solyut 6 space station, April of 1979.
Ohio Telepathic Contact
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB– De, Bob, Kay Allen, Cyndie LePori, and Sandi Duffy were in the car driving to see the Serpent Mound in southern Ohio. We were driving on the peripheral road around Wright-Patterson AFB, and Bob was telling us about working and retiring from W-P AFB. All of a sudden, clear as day, Cyndie, Kay, and Sandi received an unexpected telepathic communication from an ET that is on the base in an underground bunker behind the Air Force Museum runway. The ET was very excited for he knew we could communicate and visualize him. Someone in the car suggested we ask questions from the alien
We asked his name. First we got Kay said it sounded like Alvin. We asked again and got Kelvin. We finally settled on Elfin, because he said he was a little like an elf and he liked the comparison. We asked if he was okay. He said, ‘yes’ that he was not being held without his consent. He had the ability to leave at any time, but that he stays to up-grade the vibrational energies of those he comes in contact there. He said, “He was doing well and was having fun with everyone”. We got the distinct impression that everyone who comes into contact with him gets a rather large dose of ‘unconditional love’ and instantly falls in love with him.
He is small, with human characteristics; his eyes are a little larger and have a greater function than ours. His head is slightly larger, too, but not overly large. He doesn’t have much hair on his body like we do and he’s not quite as ‘pink’ skinned as we are, a little more ‘green-grey’ but not like the ‘grays’. The difference is similar to being ‘olive’ rather than being ‘light’ skin tone. He’s much more ‘olive’ than we are as depicted in artist’s rendition… We did not asked how he got there or from which crash. We just knew he had been there for many years—the feeling was at least 50 and that he had not aged much, only the humans around him have aged. He had been injured, initially, but healed easily. They had done some test on him in the early years, but now, they mostly watch him to make sure his health is stable & good—which it is.
We asked him about how he could leave if he wanted to and we got a visual that a ship would come over head and he would be transported up thru a light beam, but that he was not concerned about staying—he is being ‘in service’ by interacting with those around him. It is easy to remote view him, he is quite happy to have the visit. On our return trip by the base later that evening, he bid us ‘hello’ once again. We told him about our increditable day and he sent us a ‘wave of unconditional love’ for sharing with him. We all felt it and were lulled into silence of appreciation.
It is with his permission that I tell you these things. He said, “He would like disclosure because he says that secrets do not serve the greater good of all.
In conclusion, I’m sure that all this can be easily substantiated by any remote viewer and welcomed for interacting with him. Elfin is more than willing to communicate, all you need to do is ask! It was great meeting you at the IUFOC. Joyfully, Sandi

Dr. Hovind writes “Aircraft have been found buried in ice in Greenland that are more than 3,000 years old according to the ice melting rings . You’re kidding!” laughed the lab worker quipped Kent. “! In case you don’t know, I work at the Denver National Ice Core Laboratory here in Colorado. And we’ve been taking cores of ice from Greenland and Antarctica. It’s dry… very cold… the glaciers are MILES THICK… but their annual growth rings are very THIN.” “We’ve measured the ice… and I tell you, man, it’s 135,000 years old! Your 4,000 years is a joke.” “I’d like to see your lab,” said Kent, calmly. The next day my friend Kent met the worker at the lab. The employee ushered him into the giant freezer which stored the long cores from ice drilling. “See this core from Greenland?” said the worker. “We drilled down and brought it up from 10,000 feet. See the rings? This core takes us back 135,000 years. You’ll notice the rings along its length… dark – light – dark – light.“Well, these represent annual rings, because in summer the top layer of snow melts and then re-freezes as clear ice, which shows up dark here. In winter, the snow doesn’t get a chance to melt, so it packs – and shows up as a white layer. These layers of dark – light – dark – light, indicate 135,000 summers and winters.”
Dr. Hovind looked him in the eye. “Aren’t you assuming those are annual rings?” Let’s step back a few years… to the famous lost squadron.
THE LOST SQUADRON
In 1942, during World War II, some war planes landed in Greenland. When the war ended, those planes were left there and forgotten. In 1990, an aircraft enthusiast came up with the bright idea to find them and fly them off again. He organized a group and they went searching. As it turned out, they had to use radar, because the planes were under the ice… in fact, so deep under the ice, the men had a hard job finding them. Do you know, that lost squadron had got covered by 263 feet of ice in 48 years!
Let’s do some arithmetic. * 263 feet divided by 48 years… that’s an ice growth of about 5.5 feet per year. Now divide 10,000 feet by 5.5. And you get 1,824 years for ALL of the ice to build up. We should allow longer for the fact that the deeper ice is pressed into finer layers. Note: those planes did not sink into the ice, due to pressure on the ice. The ice had grown OVER them.
ARE THESE ANCIENT AIRCRAFT IN ICE?
P-38 Lightning Aircraft
Okay, would you do some math? Can you work this out,? The Denver National Ice Core Laboratory said that 10,000 feet of ice had to be 135,000 years old! So the 263 feet deep of “Lost Squadron” ice – how old should that be? That’s right… 3,419 years old. Does that mean those aircraft are 3,419 years old? What do you think?
HERE COMES THE SEQUEL
In April, 1999, Kent visited Bob Cardin at his museum in Middleboro, Kentucky. Cardin had dug out and was restoring the P-38. You may be wondering, how did they get that plane out? Ingenious. They had melted a hole down to the airplane, broken it apart and brought up the pieces through the hole.“When you dug it out,” asked Kent, “did you see any layers of ice… dark – light – dark – “Yeah, I did, as a matter of fact.”“How many layers of ice were there?”“Many hundreds of them.”HUNDREDS OF RINGS IN 48 YEARS? “How could there be many hundreds of annual rings in only 48 years?”“THOSE ARE NOT ANNUAL RINGS. That’s not summer and winter,” replied Cardin. “ It’s warm – cold – warm – cold – warm –cold. You can get ten of those in one day.”And that’s a fact!
Yet, the scientific elite was still calling them annual rings. Somebody’s either is ignorant… or lying.
I’m worried. The textbooks you read today are textbooks not only about science, but about evolution. They’re trying to sneak evolution in with the science. Sneaking beer ads in with football matches doesn’t mean beer is football. Sneaking evolution in with the science doesn’t make it science.
Radiocarbon dating involves determining the age of an ancient fossil or specimen by measuring its carbon–14 content. Carbon–14, or radiocarbon, is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope that forms when cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere strike nitrogen molecules, which then oxidize to become carbon dioxide. Radiocarbon dating methods are frequently used in determining the ages of ancient artifacts and fossils. These methods invariably give a great age for the ancient item in question. Radiocarbon dating is based on the fact that carbon-14 (an isotope of the extremely common element carbon) decays into another carbon isotope, carbon-12, at an exact rate. By measuring the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12, experts can determine the age of something that dates from ancient times.
However, according to the journal Science News, “The older an artifact is, the less certain scientists can be about its age” (Barry 2007: 344). Chris Turney of the University of Exeter in England similarly noted: “With radiocarbon, it’s not possible to obtain absolute dates—there’s always a bit of an unknown” (ibid).
One of the biggest factors in throwing off carbon dates is the fact that nuclear testing, which began around 1950, “blasted out radiation [into the atmosphere] that scientists see clearly as a spike in the radiocarbon record” (ibid.). Most problematic in absorbing this spike in radiation has been charcoal, which scientists use frequently in their dating of ancient finds. To rectify this, Michael Bird of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland created ABOX, a specialized cleaning protocol that rids archaeological samples of nearly all modern nuclear contamination.
According to Richard Gillespie of the Australian National University (the institution at which Prof. Bird first created his technique), “ABOX showed some dates are seriously wrong” (ibid.). Referring to the fact that many Australian fossils were re-dated under the ABOX technique, Gillespie commented, “Something like a hundred dates were wrong and we ended up chucking them all out. Some of the dates were 10,000 years out” (ibid.).
Jeff Pigati of the U.S. Geological Survey has improved on the ABOX method. His system is, in his own words, “especially important for very old samples. Even very small amounts of modern contamination can be fatal for old samples” (ibid., 345).
There is another problem with carbon dating, one that goes beyond adjusting for the increased presence of radiation post-1950. This fact was suspected by no less than Willard Libby, the Nobel Prize-winning inventor of carbon dating, as Science News reported:
Even in the early days, Libby suspected that the carbon-12 to carbon-14 ratio had not remained constant through time. Work on solar cycles and the Earth’s magnetic field proved him right. Both phenomena are known to influence radiocarbon amounts by altering the level of cosmic radiation entering the atmosphere (ibid.).
The uncertainties surrounding science’s most popular dating method underscores how cautious scientists must be before setting in stone any date for an artifact or fossil. In the words of Prof. Gillespie, “Although 26,000 [years ago, according to modern dating assumptions] is pretty well nailed down now, there’s a sort of best guess for what comes after that” (ibid.). Until an infallible dating method is discovered, the dates of ancient discoveries will remain dubitable and controversial.

Filer’s Files #36 – 2018 – UFOs Are Real - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
Arizona Light
San Tan Valley — Was video recording a storm and saw a streak go past the clouds on September 2, 2018.
I was filming and later went through the video frame by frame on IPhone and see a long cylinder shaped figure dart past the clouds in 1-2 seconds. Frame 31 seconds to 32 seconds in the video. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Object
Los Angeles — I was in my backyard building a wooden bench when I looked to my right and immediately saw a white balloon like orb floating in the sky. I initially thought it was a balloon but it was at a good distance away and would have to have been a very large balloon. Because of the size I took my phone out and started to film. It remains somewhat stationary in the sky for a few minutes and then starts to move in a southwestern direction toward the sun. My neck was getting sore from filming because it was there for so long. In some of the video it appears that an emission comes from the bottom of it as it starts to move like a small thruster. My camera and I are moving so much that it’s hard to tell how direct of a path the object is flying.. It became harder to see as it flew toward the sun and I eventually lost it. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Light
Denver–- On August 18th, 2018, I was on an airplane flying from North Carolina to Los Angeles. When we were passing Denver, Colorado I saw a thunderstorm a couple of miles away directly in front of my window. I pulled out my phone to take a video of the lightning because I thought it looked pretty cool from how high up we were. While I was filming, I noticed a flashing red and white light flying. It was flying the opposite direction in straight line of the plane I was in. The object started to descend and stopped blinking for a second, and then when it started blinking again, it climbed and kept flying away. It looked almost like a drone, but because of our 30,000 feet altitude there is no way it was a drone. It moved to quickly to be a plane.
Note: I believe that the witness may have seen a distant aircraft which was passing in the opposite direction. The apparent abrupt change in altitude and the reversal of direction could have been due to movement of the cell phone camera. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
Kentucky Triangle
Monticello — I was outside on September 1, 2018, and the UFO photo was taken at 5:07 PM. A storm was coming in very slowly from the south west form Albany Ky. I thought I’d try take some picture of the sky and captured a triangle or V shaped UFO. I captured it when I took the pictures. It have been moving very fast for the picture was only 1 to 2 seconds apart. It seem black and has a white glow around it in the photo. Maybe it way of shielding its self or anti gravity propulsion? Photos were taken with a ZTE N817 phone sorry for the pixels. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maryland Light
Baltimore Not much to say since I never observed the object it wasn’t until I reviewed my pictures. I saw the glow on the right side of the picture on the outdoor event on September 1,/2018 from 20:00 – 21:00 hours on Pier 5 across from MECU Pavilion.

Massachusetts Disc
South Chatham–My wife and I were down at Forest Beach on September 3, 2018, when off in the distance we saw an orb rising to the level of the star. Then it started to proceed towards us in a north easterly direction and it literally went right over our heads spinning and doing weird shapes. It was flashing different lighted designs around the circumference of the object etc. etc. I shot some video on my iPhone that shows basically what we saw. It looked much more intense. …. On June 11 of this year my wife and I had a major citing here in Cape Cod. We saw between 11 and 22 UFOs in the sky at the same time. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Michigan Lights
Manistee — Going to restaurant to take out and noticed the bright light in the SE sky. Thought it was a star but the brightest star was smaller and just white. This object glowed yellow/orange and moved slow. Took pictures and starred at it over an hour. Call wife out and she saw it too.
Photo was taken on August 31, 2018. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nebraska Disc
Lincoln— I took a photo of sky because it was going to rain. I did not see object in photo personally until I looked at photos on my phone. Taken from inside a vehicle.
Photo was taken on September 2. 2018.

New Jersey Cigar
Sandy Hook — On Labor Day 2018, I had just arrived to the beach on the Jersey Shore when I laid down to get some sun around 3 pm. Almost immediately, I noticed an object of unknown size at an altitude between 70,000 and 140,000 feet 2 to 4 times larger than a typical commercial airliner. The sky was mostly clear The object was parallel to the shoreline and shaped like a slender cigar. When I first laid eyes on it the object vacillated from white to platinum-silver on the edge of the cloud, effectively removing itself from camouflage. This color-change action is what allowed it to be plainly visible to me, in effective giving up it cloud-white camouflage. It moved at the pace of satellite and then continued to change colors from platinum-silver to blue and red to invisible to white and so on repeatedly. The object moved from the north to the east, then stopped. It moved back about 10% toward its original position toward north, then stopped again. It was among the most beautiful sights I have ever seen and the color and lights that is exuded were unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. After staring for over a minute, all the while it vacillating between invisibility and it’s 4 colors, I began to perceive a circular aura about the object and sense in some way that it was trying to communicate. I turned to my friend to ask if he could see it too which he affirmed. Neither of us saw anything like it before.
I turned to some strangers a few feet away one screamed, “Oh my God! What the @& is that?!” Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Mexico Orb
Deming— My husband gets home from work on September 4, 2018. He kissed us hello and I said lets go feed the ducks. We headed outside at 6:30pm and my husband and I immediately saw this huge “star” hovering above the setting sun. We are always looking at the sky, my husband is a flight director at the Deming Blimp site. Mars is the first one in the sky and it appears over the Florida Mountains. This “star” was the opposite direction over the setting sun. I grabbed our camera because phone cameras can’t pick up stars well. My husband and I called our neighbors and they went outside and saw it as well. We watched it for 40 minutes. During that time it never moved with the earth and never blinked like a star, just shown like a spotlight. It did however change from a circle to a guitar pick shape. Another bright light appeared above and to the left of the original light and moved straight down toward earth and disappeared. Then 3 lights appeared around the original light and moved straight down and disappeared. The original light seamed to join them at this point and moved down and disappeared but it shrank to disappear. The orb came back about 8:30 pm with another light hovering to its left for 10 minutes and then disappeared.

Texas Triangle
El Paso— I was on my way to work the morning of August 31, 2018, at 6:25 in the morning. I stared at the sunrise as usual because I have to stop at a damn red light, right before I get on the freeway to work. I glanced to the right and saw a glowing triangle and thought it was weird. So I took several pictures and a short video with my Samsung Galaxy S8. It’s still new to me and noticed afterwards that the phone does an amazing thing automatically…..it stabilized the video on its own. Yes I did zoom in on the object and luckily it worked perfectly. Even if it’s explainable, it is an interesting video and pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings
Canada Light
Thunder Bay — I was sitting beside my kitchen window and typing on my computer on August 23, 2018. I had a funny feeling and turned my head towards the sleeping giant and witnessed the blue UFO hovering. The object looked blue and seemed to change form as if an electrical current was pulsating within. Well I was amazed and a little peeved my phone wouldn’t focus. Lost sight of it when it went south behind trees. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS
France Triangle
Bobigny— I was going home, and I passed by a construction site and saw a triangular shape behind a building. The top emitted a blue light, but no traces of propulsion or movement of air, or electro-magnetic phenomena (MHD or others).
It was a very slow flight, which seems impossible for a human vehicle with such a shape.
I was very surprised, compared to the planes I see coming and going from Le Bourget airport, that’s located not far away.
By the time I found the right setting, I just had time to film 5 seconds and it disappeared behind a housebreak on the right. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Italy Disc
Naples— May 8, 2018, first day of a weeklong tour: “Pompeii, Herculaneum and classical campania (Andante tour company). in the morning we were on our way from the hotel to the (Greek) temples site and museum at Paestum. I sat at the back of the bus. i stood up to take two pictures of the Bay of Naples as we passed by. i didn’t notice the object. There was a little stairwell to the rear bus exit. i sat in the same seat throughout the tour and never noticed a spot on the window: I’m sure if there had been, someone would have pointed it out. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mexico Disc
Mexico City — The event occurred in the morning of September 15, 2017″ stepping out of the tour bus, this was the first photo I took that day. I wanted to get the statue and church tower in the same frame. I don’t know if I noticed the object. Down lower to the right was a building one of the three tour guides said was located there since the time of Cortes. Behind me was a long park at the end of which is the Coyote Fountain. I was showing my album of pictures to the couple who own the shop where I get my photos processed, one said, “that looks like a ufo” she was the first to notice it. always before she said she wouldn’t believe in ufos unless she saw one.
UK Object
London— I was sunbathing on the bank of a pond in Bushy Park, Hampton, West London when I witnessed a strange round grey shape moving through a thin layer of white cloud above me travelling in a straight line. The best way to describe it would be a round grey shadow in the cloud, like a smudge. I watched the shadow move through the clouds but once clear I was unable to see it anymore. I’m not sure of the size or height but the object itself was pretty high up in the sky as I could see a commercial aircraft which appeared very small in the sky in comparison. The sky itself was pretty clear. I wondered if there was anything that could have cast the shadow up into the sky. The following day I returned to the same location where I witnessed 4 dark military helicopters travelling in the same direction as the shadow had. Between the military helicopters there was a single white and blue helicopter. I believe the date was on or around the 25th June 2018 in the afternoon. Thanks to MUFON CMS

HYBRID HUMANS: Author Daniella Fenton claims ancient ETs engineered human race
Ancient astronauts travelled through a "wormhole" in the Pleiades star cluster but couldn't survive on Earth, it's claimed.
Extraterrestrials decided instead to "alter the genetic make up" of early human ancestors so they became more intelligent.
The proof is in the fusion of Chromosome-2 around 780,000 years ago based on the book Hybrid Humans written by Daniella Fenton.
Chromosone-2 is found in all large-brained humans, including Neanderthals and Denisovans, but no other primate species.
"The three species went on to become advanced humans with art, culture and increasingly complex technologies," said Mrs Fenton.
"The fusions site in on an active gene which expresses itself in brain structure, immunity and reproductive functions - important systems for upgrading to a new human species.
"Instead of a small number of humans having the fusion and a large group not having it, instead there was a rapid total replacement with all humans on Earth having 46 rather than 48 chromosomes, this tells us it gave enormous benefits to become so dominant.
"Approximately 800,000 years ago human brain size went into a sudden rapid increase in size and complexity which has long been a mystery to archaeologists."
DANIELLA FENTON
THEORY: Author Daniella Fenton said the DNA of humans changed dramatically due to alien science
She went on: "This was not the only change at this time and two very extraordinary changes are the sudden appearance of miR-941, which played a crucial role in human brain development.
"The gene is highly active in controlling decision-making and enabling language abilities and appeared suddenly formed out of junk DNA."
What Mrs Fenton claims are the "signature of aliens" is dramatic changes to a neocortex gene called ARHGAP11B – associated with sight and hearing in mammals.
The official explanation for Chromosome-2, the second largest in humans, does not involve aliens.
Researcher JW IJdo concluded Chromosome-2 "marks the point at which two ancestral ape chromosomes fused to give rise to human Chromosome-2."

HYBRID HUMANS: The book claims aliens engineered mankind 780,000 years ago
“Approximately 800,000 years ago human brain size went into a sudden rapid increase in size and complexity which has long been a mystery to archaeologists.”
Daniella Fenton
The Australian author, who studied equine genetic and is a spirtualist and certified shaman, claims to have physical evidence to support the ancient alien theory.
Her husband Bruce is also a writer who worked on the research.
They researched a book called Alcheringa which promotes the theory an alien spaceship exploded in our atmosphere hundreds of thousands of years ago and the survivors, who couldn't survive without the mother ship, engineered Homo sapiens.
Mrs Fenton claims the melted wreckage of the crashed craft explains the mysterious Australites tektite buttons, unexplained dark glass objects thought to be ejected in meteorite impacts.
She claimed that geologists have dated the remains of a 1km sized melted object to around 780,000 years ago.
She added: "According to a NASA study the resulting liquid glass (containing around 80% silica from melted quartz crystal) formed spheres in space which then instantly froze and began to fall into our atmosphere.
"As they entered they heated and melted to form unique button shapes before landing right across Australasia.
"These Australite tektite buttons are unique in the 4.5 billion year history of our planet and remain a total mystery to science because they can’t understand how they formed."
The Hybrid Human theory also believes the alien astronauts arrived from the Pleiades star cluster, thought to contain several thousand stars.
It is among the nearest star cluster to Earth and the one which is most visible to the naked eye.
It is believed one planet could exist around the star HD 23514 due to the exceptional number of hot dust particles surrounding it.
Mrs Fenton points to how Pleiades has been referenced repeatedly by various cultures.
She said: "All around the world ancient cultures talk about ancestral beings from the Pleiades and portals that connect those stars with this planet, this includes mythology in Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, American Indians, ancient Egypt, Sumeria and Aboriginal Australia."
A painted rock shows that humans tried their hand at symbolism as early as 73,000 years ago, pointing to the roots of modern cognition patterns.

International researchers report discovering the oldest evidence of abstract drawing to date. The artifact in question is a fragment of polished rock painted with a crosshatch pattern of nine fine lines, unearthed from a 73,000-year-old archaeological stratum at the Blombos Cave in South Africa.
“Do you do portraits, too?”
It’s not easy determining symbolism from art when dealing with some of the earliest graphic productions humanity has ever created. The main difficulty lies in determining whether the splotches of pigment were applied deliberately or not. After intentionality is established, the next step is to determine whether the images you’re dealing with are doodles or storytelling crutches, or whether they held particular meaning.
Needless to say, across the huge divides of time and culture that separate us from our ancestors, both points can be very tricky to handle.
The oldest known sample of art we’ve found before now is the shell of a freshwater mussel engravedwith a zigzag pattern discovered in Tirnil, Java, in a 540,000-year-old archaeological layer. Decorated trinkets discovered in several archeological sites in Africa, likely used for personal adornment, have been dated to roughly 70,000 years ago.

Still, art does not necessarily a symbol make. A symbol is a mark, sign, or word that represents an idea, another object, or a relationship. While the main trait of art is beauty or its ability to encapsulate an emotional message, a symbol is, foremost, an abstraction. As such, accurately telling apart art and symbolism is very important for anthropology. Both art and symbols “are a prime indicator of modern cognition and behavior”, the team writes — the latter especially so, since abstraction requires that extra bit of intellectual brawn to handle.
Well, we have new evidence pointing to the roots of abstract thinking at least 30,000 years earlier than previously discovered works suggested.
Abstrart
The artifact, detailed by an international team that includes scientists from Norway, France, South Africa, and Switzerland, is a fragment of siliceous rock (silcrete) adorned with nine fine lines in a crosshatch pattern. It was found during excavations at the Blombos Cave, South Africa, in a 73,000-year-old archeological stratum. According to the team, the lines were drawn using an ocher (the iron ore from which the eponymous color is derived) pencil.
Ocher and silcrete implements used in the reconstruction efforts. Image credits Christopher S. Henshilwood et al., 2018, Nature.
Determining whether the pattern was deliberately drawn fell primarily on the shoulders of the team’s French members, who have a background in the chemical analysis of pigments.
They started by trying to reproduce the lines through various techniques — an approach known as experimental or experiential archeology, as it relies on direct experience gained from experimentation — that were available to the people living around the cave at the time. These included whittling ocher fragments to a point or an edge to see which shape better recreates the lines, as well as applying watery solutions of ocher powder using brushes.

They then compared the lines against their ancient counterparts from a microscopic, chemical, and tribological (the science of friction and wear) standpoint. According to the team, the lines were intentionally drawn with a pointed ocher implement (akin to a pencil). As such, the pattern represents the earliest known abstract drawing to date.

With intentionality established, the next step was to decide whether the team was looking at a symbol or just pretty doodles. This step was surprisingly simple, however. Blombos Cave is the site of an ongoing excavation by teams from the University of Bergen (Norway) and the University of Witwatersrand (South Africa) that began in 1991. Over the years, many other objects with symbolic markings — including ocher fragments that feature very similar crosshatched engraving — were uncovered in the same archaeological stratum in which the present artwork was discovered.
It’s been two weeks since the International Space Station’s crew repaired a small leak, but there are far more questions than answers.
On the evening of August 29, ground control operators in Houston and Moscow identified a pressure loss in the ISS, which cosmonauts and astronauts traced to a leak in the hull of the Russian Soyuz MS-09 capsule and repaired with a patch kit. The hole was quite small — about two millimeters in diameter — and didn’t pose a significant safety risk to the crew. Though it didn’t cause the space station to lose much air, it did raise eyebrows.
In the days since, Russian officials have entertained rumors of sabotage to the point that NASA and Russia’s space agency Roscosmos found it necessary to issue a joint statement on Thursday announcing plans for top administrators to meet face-to-face over the matter.
“NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and Roscosmos General Director Dmitry Rogozin met for the first time yesterday via teleconference to discuss the status of International Space Station (ISS) operations in response to a request from Roscosmos.”
As a result of this teleconference, Bridenstine and Rogozin agreed to an in-person meeting at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan sometime around October 10.
Bridenstine already has a visit to Russia and Kazakhstan planned for that time, as the Russian Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft is scheduled to launch from Baikonur Cosmodrome on October 11, when it will carry NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin to the ISS.
And while the whole joint announcement may sound extremely diplomatic and collaborative, it is hard to ignore the darker subtext. The release alludes to rumors that have swirled since the leak was repaired. Initially attributed to a micrometeoroid impact, the hull leak has since been blamed on a power drill of some sort. It’s not clear whether the hole happened on Earth or in space.
“We want to find out the full name of who is at fault — and we will.”
“We are able to narrow down the cause to a technological mistake of a technician. We can see the mark where the drill bit slid along the surface of the hull,” Rogozin told RIA Novosti on September 3, as translated for Ars Technica. “We want to find out the full name of who is at fault — and we will.”
Again, it’s not clear whether this hole was made accidentally or intentionally, nor whether it was made in space or on the ground — where perhaps a patch was applied that later dried out and came loose in space, an event that has occurred on a previous Soyuz craft — but Rogozin’s resolve has resulted in the formation of a Roscosmos-led commission into the matter.
Since then, Russian news outlets have speculated on possible sabotage by NASA astronauts, suggesting that the astronauts sought to create an emergency situation in order to get a sick colleague back to Earth sooner.
According to Russian newspaper Kommersant, this version of events is being considered a top possibility. But Rogozin and Bridenstine’s announcement doesn’t hint at this tension, instead laying the bulk of the blame on media reports.
“The Administrator and the General Director noted speculations circulating in the media regarding the possible cause of the incident and agreed on deferring any preliminary conclusions and providing any explanations until the final investigation has been completed,” reads Thursday’s joint statement.
For his part, Rogozin has rejected the rumors.
“The recent gossip and rumors circulating about the incident at the ISS hinder the work of Roscosmos experts and are designed to subvert the friendly relations among the crew members of the space station,” he wrote on Facebook, reported state-owned Russian news outlet TASS on Wednesday. “All statements citing unnamed sources are inadmissible until Roscosmos special commission concludes its work,” he wrote, referring to the anonymous sources on which the news stories fueling the rumors have relied.
Despite this public caution and diplomacy, though, Ars Technica reports that Roscosmos sources have continued to leak inflammatory theories and accusations to the Russian press. Among these leaked accusations is the leading theory, as suggested by Kommersant, that NASA damaged the module in an attempt to force an emergency evacuation for an ill crew member. The logic behind this theory is that because it would require a joint evacuation of astronauts and cosmonauts, NASA could get the evacuation it wanted without having to pay the estimated $85 million for a new Soyuz pod.
Sources for Russian news outlets cited the scratch marks around the hole, which suggest that somebody was drilling in microgravity since it would be harder in that environment to get firm footing for a drill bit.
For its part, NASA crew aboard the ISS has vehemently denied the notion. In an interview with ABC News on Tuesday, station commander Drew Feustel said those claims are ridiculous.
“The crew had nothing to do with this on orbit.”
“I can unequivocally say that the crew had nothing to do with this on orbit, without a doubt, and I think it’s actually a shame and somewhat embarrassing that anybody is wasting any time talking about something that the crew was involved in,” Feustel said.
Needless to say, this whole thing has become a mess.
The Soyuz spacecraft is produced by Russian firm RKK Energia and is the only spacecraft model that currently carries humans between Earth and the International Space Station.
SpaceX, Boeing, and NASA are developing their own capsules. Just a month ago, NASA announced that it would test the Boeing-made CST-100 Starliner capsule in mid-2019 and it would test the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule in April 2019. The NASA/ESA-operated Orion spacecraft, which is being built by Lockheed Martin and Airbus and would carry four people to and from the ISS, is also in development. These new capsules would reduce or eliminate US dependence on Russia’s Soyuz capsule.
This he-said-she-said situation represents a rare lapse in the usually friendly relationship between US and Russian space programs, a relationship that has remained mostly cordial despite the icy diplomatic relations the countries are experiencing back on Earth. Regardless of how this mess shakes out, the US will soon be able to ferry astronauts to the ISS without Russia.
Employees from the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, were told to leave as agents rushed to the research centre last Thursday.
The building remains on lockdown, surrounded with yellow tape, as no timeframe has been given to local police for it to re-open.
A post office nearby was also cleared out and employees have been transferred to another branch.
And no one has given an explanation why.
“Maybe one of the employees tried to mail out their finding”

"We have temporarily vacated this facility as a precautionary measure," a spokeswoman for the Association for Universities for Research in Astronomy said.
"We're working with the proper authorities on this issue."
But Tyler Glockner, who runs YouTube conspiracy channel secureteam10, thinks astronomers in the observatory spotted something the government did not like.
He speculated, while taking images of the sun, they may have come across a secret military project or even extraterrestrial life.
Tyler went on to add that the FBI would have been brought in to remove any evidence of this.

And viewers were quick to share their thoughts.
"They don't even close a school for this long after a shooting, something big has happened," one person claimed.
Another added: "Maybe one of the employees tried to mail out their findings."
And a third claimed: "Suspicious considering that NASA just launched a probe to go within 6million miles of the Sun to take images."

Why Social Stigma About Unexplained Phenomena Holds Humanity Back
Why Social Stigma About Unexplained Phenomena Holds Humanity Back
Like most other biological systems on this planet, humans are largely motivated by self-preservation and conflict avoidance.
As a species, we tend to avoid associating ourselves with anything that will isolate us from the larger group or make us sound strange, or that might draw negative attention from our peers.
In essence, stigma results in a paralysis of communication.
And when left unaddressed, it exerts a chilling influence over society and across generations. This is true whether we are trying to find the cause for diseases, reasons for environmental change, or primers for global conflict.
Throughout history, there are times when we, as a society, found it more convenient and socially acceptable to ignore uncomfortable topics. The results were often catastrophic both to our moral fiber and the health of our species. Stigma regarding certain psychological conditions once led to a life sentence in an asylum and forced lobotomies simply because stigma prevented families having a conversation about mental illness.
There has been similar social stigma in recent decades around the topic of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), or UFOs — a topic that has been relegated to conspiracy theorists, B-Movie villains, and the weird uncle no one wants to talk to anymore. As was the case with other topics that hold stigma, many people would rather look the other way than be associated with what’s been labeled “crazy,” or “fringe.”
When I was assigned Director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), my colleagues and I experienced enough to know with absolute certainty that UAPs exist. Furthermore, they don’t seem to care if whether or not we believe in them and they are here with or without our permission.
How can we have an honest conversation about National Security and humanity if we can’t even address the topic of a potential threat or opportunity?
Consider this example from pop culture. In the famous Harry Potter series, the evil wizard Voldemort is so vile that other wizards are afraid to even utter his very name. The idea is if you don’t mention his name, it minimizes the threat and makes him less real. But ironically, the stigma of his name only makes him more powerful.
Refusing to acknowledge UAPs in our airspace is no different.
If we don’t overcome the social stigma about UAPs and address them, we may end up on the wrong side of history — only in this case, we’re not talking about fantasy and wizards, we are talking about reality and national security.
Here’s why we can’t afford to allow stigma to drive our fears and bury our heads in the sand:
Social stigma hinders government processes.
Social stigma is often the product of fear concerning topics that have no answers and are poorly understood. Project Blue Book provides a useful example.
From 1952–1969, the U.S. Air Force conducted a series of studies on UAPs. The goals of Project Blue Book were to determine whether UAPs were a national security threat and to scientifically analyze UFO-related data. For 17 years, Project Blue Book compiled reports of tens of thousands of UFO sightings, classifying 700 of these incidents as “unidentified.”
In 1966, the Air Force requested another committee, headed by Dr. Edward Condon, to look into these sightings. Two years later, they released the “Condon Report,” which concluded that the sightings they examined showed no signs of unusual activity. This prompted the Air Force to shut down Project Blue Book the following year.
Upon its dismantling, the project announced that despite nearly one thousand unidentified sightings, there was no evidence of extraordinary phenomena in our airspace.
These dismissive conclusions in the public versions of both Project Blue Book and the Condon Report simply weren’t supported by the facts. There were hundreds of credible eyewitness reports by trained observers, many with high-level security clearances, who witnessed these objects. Our country has put people in the electric chair based on the testimony of just two corroborating witnesses who aren’t particularly trained in the art of observation.
As is the case with other controversial topics, this verifiable evidence was suppressed and diluted due to stigma surrounding the topic of UAPs.
But there are always two sides to an argument.
During the time of the inquiries, the U.S. Government was in the middle of a cold war and, in all fairness, could not afford to be distracted on a wild goose chase for which they had no answers. As long as Americans weren’t under attack from these unusual phenomena, attention was rightfully placed towards more tangible matters. I don’t necessarily agree with that mindset, but I understand it.
Self-imposed stigma often makes a problem worse.
Tabloids and social media have certainly not helped the issue of stigma. These outlets frequently provide their consumers with sensationalized stories that only reinforce the stigma of certain topics.
The rise of social media means that now, everyone has a voice.
But many of those voices are less motivated by truth and instead seek to spread their own agendas. A simple search on Google about the program I once helped run, AATIP, results in hundreds of hits, many of these from purportedly reputable sites with “Deep-State” sources. These sites are run by the same individuals who claim to have inside knowledge of UAPs but have never provided one shred of evidence or proof that they have access to Government insiders.
But not all social media sites or Youtube channels have it wrong. Those sites which emphasize data collection, facts, and objectivity are usually on the right track. Surprisingly, some sites appear to have a strong understanding of the bizarre nature of the phenomena and a few well-placed sources of information. One specific example I have found is “UFOJesus,” a humorous YouTube channel that seems to have some credible inside information and insight.
No matter the medium, frank and honest conversation is crucial to moving forward as a society.
Overcoming stigma is key to our survival as a species.
If there is one thing that nature has shown us time and time again, it’s that we either adapt, or we die out.
As a species, it’s crucial to understand the things we can’t explain, in order to survive. And that means being open to new ideas, possibilities, and data. It’s always been this way, dating back to when mankind lived in caves. If you heard something roaming outside, you had to investigate. If you didn’t, you and your family would be unaware of a potential predator.
At the same time, an animal wandering around outside your cave could also mean food, which would keep your family alive so they could then flourish. If you stayed in the cave and never ventured outside, you might survive the night but probably not in the long run.
When it comes to UFOs, ignoring the unknown is similarly harmful because it might mean failing to seize upon opportunities and new understandings.
As a society, we have to recognize that stigma serves only to keep our heads in the sand. Our future depends on transparency and truth.
Corners of the internet are atwitter about a possible alien coverup after reports that a Blackhawk helicopter and federal agents swooped in and inexplicably evacuated a remote part of New Mexico, including a prominent solar observatory.
The Dunn Solar Telescope at the Sunspot solar observatory hides most of itself underground.
"There was a Blackhawk helicopter, a bunch of people around antennas and work crews on towers, but nobody would tell us anything," Otero County Sheriff Benny House told the Alamogordo Daily News. "I don't know why the FBI would get involved so quick and not tell us anything."
Five days later, the observatory's website confirms the entire facility is closed to both staff and the public until further notice.
"The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) who manages the facility is addressing a security issue at this time," AURA spokesperson Shari Lifson said in an emailed statement. "It's a temporary evacuation of the facility. We will open it up as soon as possible."
The FBI field offices in Albuquerque and in El Paso, Texas, didn't respond to a request for comment.
Meanwhile, in the vacuum created by the lack of an official explanation, plenty of people on YouTube and social media and in tabloid publications have stepped in to suggest their own.
Some say the evacuation could be part of a government effort to cover up a discovery involving aliens, an impending solar flare or something else extra-planetary. Others on Reddit and elsewhere think the security issue may involve a foreign power attempting to use the observatory's antennas to spy on nearby White Sands Missile Range.
The observatory was built by the military in 1947 when it realized the sun could interfere with radio communications. The National Science Foundation ran the facility from the 1960s until this year, when operation was transferred to AURA and New Mexico State University.
Hopefully it isn't now in the process of being unwillfully transferred to aliens or foreign spies. We shall see.
Thousands are embedding microchips under their skin to 'make their daily lives easier'
Thousands are embedding microchips under their skin to 'make their daily lives easier'
Thousands of Swedish people are having microchips embedded under their skin instead of using ID cards, key cards and even having to purchase train tickets.
3,000 Swedes Have Microchips Installed
It is estimated that 3,000 people have had a microchip installed in Sweden and the chip is smaller than a single grain of rice. The increase in people having chips installed under their skin has been on the increase over the last three years. The microchip technology was first used in Sweden in 2015.
Ulrika Celsing said that the microchip in her hand had helped her to replace the need to carry around many daily necessities. This includes her office key card and gym card. When the 28-year-old arrives at work, she simply has to wave her hand close to a small box and then enter a code, and the door opens.
Rail Line Scans Passengers Hands to Take Fares
SJ Rail Line, which is owned by the state, began to scan passengers hands with microchips to take their fare when they were onboard the train. It has been said that the chips could also be used to make purchases in much the same way as a contactless credit card, but up to now, no one has tested it.
The procedure to insert the microchip is much the same as having a piercing. The chip is inserted by syringe into the hand of the person. Celsing said that she had her chip installed during a work event and all she felt during the procedure was a slight sting. Ben Libberton, a microbiologist for the MAX IV laboratory in Sweden, said that the microchip implants might cause a reaction or infection in the immune system of the body.
Group Micro-chipping Is Becoming the In-thing
There is also the risk of biohacking, modification of bodies using technology. This is said to be on the increase as more people use technology such as Fitbit and Apple Watches. Bionyfiken, a biohacking group from Sweden, began organizing implant parties where people in groups had chips inserted en masse in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Mexico.
50 employees at a vending machine company in Wisconsin had microchips inserted into their hands, and they could use them to purchase snacks, log into their computers and use other office equipment.
The 10 million strong country has proven that Sweden is more willing to share their personal details. Details have been recorded by the social-security system of the country and are readily available. It was said that people could find out the salaries of other people by calling up the public tax authority. Many people in Sweden do not have the belief that the technology is at risk of being hacked. A microbiologist said that the data that is collected is and shared is limited, so there should be no fear of hacking.
The Body Might be the Next Big Platform for Technology
It has been estimated that the human body will become the next big platform for technology. All of the wearable technology of today will be implanted within the body within the next 5 to 10 years. No one wants to carry around a smartphone or smartwatch that is clumsy when they can have the same technology installed in their body.
NASA has selected the five winning designs in the latest stage of its 3D-printedHabitat competition, which include a community of modular pods made from the Martian surface, and a vertical egg-like container.
The On-Site Habitat Competition invited groups to design a sustainable shelter for a crew of four astronauts on a mission to Mars, using construction techniques enabled by 3D printing technology.
Teams had to come up with a solution that tackles the issues of transporting materials from Earth to Mars, as well as the differences in atmosphere and landscape on the new planet.
Each was required to create digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of a house on Mars using specialised software tools.
"We are thrilled to see the success of this diverse group of teams that have approached this competition in their own unique styles," said Monsi Roman, programme manager for NASA's series of Centennial Challenges.
"They are not just designing structures, they are designing habitats that will allow our space explorers to live and work on other planets. We are excited to see their designs come to life as the competition moves forward."
The top five teams were selected by NASA in partnership with Bradley University of Peoria, Illinois, out of 18 groups from around the globe. Ranked using a points system, they will all share part of a $100,000 prize depending on what score they achieved.
The winning Zopherus habitat is built from materials taken from the Martian surface
Arkansas-based team Zopherus was awarded first place with its modular habitat for humans on Mars, 3D-printed without human interference with materials made from the Martian surface.
In the concept, a lander would scan its surroundings and select an optimum print area, while autonomous robots are deployed from the vessel to gather materials for the 3D printer.
The lander seals to the ground to provide a protected, pressurised print environment, and then mixes materials, and begins to print the hexagonal structure.
Thanks to its hexagonal structure, multiple Zopherus habitats can be printed to stand close to one another, creating a community.
Each structure is built using a specialised composite Martian concrete material – made from ice, calcium oxide and Martian aggregate – which are collected by rovers and fed into the lander for mixing.
A large window on the mezzanine level of each habitat provides expansive views of the Martian landscape, as well as allowing light to nurture a small hydroponic garden for growth of vegetation and production of oxygen.
AI SpaceFactory's habitat boasts an egg-shaped design to deal with atmospheric pressure
AI SpaceFactory came in second place with its vertical, egg-shaped structure, which is designed with a double shell system to deal with the internal atmospheric pressure and structural stresses that would occur on Mars.
Like the Zopherus habitat, the Marsha design is made using materials harvested from the Martian surface, removing the dependency on rockets to transport materials from Earth.
The team developed an innovative mixture of basalt fibre, extracted from Martian rock, and renewable bioplastic (polylactic acid) derived from plants that would be grown on Mars.
Unlike the communal format of the Zopherus habitats, each Marsha habitat stands alone as a separate structure.
Kahn-Yates' design features a series of holes to allow daylight in
Third place team Kahn-Yates also designed its habitats as individual volumes, with sleek, oblong forms intended to minimise the impact from potential dust storms.
After the space-faring module arrives on Mars, its exterior shell would split off as it lands, leaving behind a pre-fabricated core. After landing, a five-axis print arm would extends from the top of the core and print a foundation using materials found on the Martian landscape.
The arm then prints a concrete shell, while secondary nozzles print HDPE (high-density polyethylene) layers on either side of the shell, effectively sandwiching the Martian concrete in the middle.
Daylight is allowed into the habitat by means of reducing or eliminating portions of the central concrete layer in the exterior shell makeup, to have just the HDPE layers as the skin. This would aid gardening and food production, according to the team.
SEArch+/Apis Cor's habitat features a double-shell structure to provide protection from solar radiation
In fourth place is SEArch+/Apis Cor, which submitted a habitat boasting a double-shell design to shelter the structure from galactic solar radiation. The habitat designed by the fifth-place team, Northwestern University, features a unique spherical shell and outer parabolic dome.
The On-Site Habitat Competition is the third phase in NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Centennial Challenge, which was created to explore construction technologies needed to create sustainable housing solutions on Earth, the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Northwestern University designed a dome-shaped habitat with a unique entryway system
Phase one, the Design Competition, took place in 2015 and required teams to submit architectural renderings. Submissions included Foster + Partners' proposal for a 93-square-metre habitat printed from regolith, the loose soil and rocks found on the surface of the Red Planet.
Phase two, the Structural Member Competition, took place in 2016-2017 and focused on material technologies, asking teams to create structural components.
There are still four more phases of the challenge to follow, culminating in a head-to-head print of finalists' designs in early 2019.
Triangular UFO Caught On Video Moving In The Sky Over El Paso, Texas
Triangular UFO Caught On Video Moving In The Sky Over El Paso, Texas
A driver passing by El Paso, Texas recorded something strange in the sky of what appears to be a glowing triangular-shaped UFO. Ufologists are at a loss with the object moving completely silent.
The video shows the strange object moving at high speed in the sky. The UFO appears to be a glowing triangle with a bright backlight, flying without any sound. Some believe that it could be an extraterrestrial aircraft.
Many reports of triangle-shaped craft around the world but not often they are captured on any media. The capture of this type of flying craft surprised American researchers of extraterrestrial civilizations and the aliens.
As apparent aliens appear on the planet every year more often than before, they are also manifested more and more in a fantastic way. Some observers shared their thoughts about the video after analyzing and verifying its authenticity. They note that it was strange the car appeared to pace the UFO so well.
According to the videographer, he was driving to work and noticing a mysterious light in a triangular shape toward the horizon. He took his Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone out and snapped photos and a short video.
The incident reportedly took place on August 31, 2018, at 6:25 in the morning. He stared at the sunrise as usual because he had to stop a red light. Before he got on the freeway to work, he noticed the UFO to the right. He thought it was weird, so he took multiple pictures and a short video.
SpaceX Will Fly a Private Passenger Around the Moon on Its Giant BFR Rocket
SpaceX Will Fly a Private Passenger Around the Moon on Its Giant BFR Rocket
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
SpaceX's giant Mars vehicle has a crewed moon mission on its docket.
A "private passenger" has signed up for a trip around the moon aboard SpaceX's BFR rocket-spaceship combo, company representatives announced via Twitter this evening (Sept. 13). SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk will fill in the details Monday (Sept. 17), during a webcast that begins at 9 p.m. EDT (0100 GMT on Sept. 18). You can watch the SpaceX moon shot webcast live here, courtesy of SpaceX.
Musk may already have given us a clue about the private space explorer's identity. Somebody on Twitter asked Musk if he was the passenger, and the billionaire entrepreneur responded by tweeting an emoji of the Japanese flag. [The BFR: SpaceX's Giant Spaceship for Mars in Images]
SpaceX has signed the world’s first private passenger to fly around the Moon aboard our BFR launch vehicle—an important step toward enabling access for everyday people who dream of traveling to space. Find out who’s flying and why on Monday, September 17.
Even without the mystery of whom, exactly, SpaceX has signed for the "BFR Lunar Mission" (as SpaceX dubbed it), it sounds like it will be an epic trip.
"Only 24 humans have been to the Moon in history," SpaceX wrote in a subsequent Twitter post. "No one has visited since the last Apollo mission in 1972." NASA's last Apollo lunar mission was Apollo 17, which sent astronauts Gene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt and Ron Evans to the moon in December 1972. Cernan and Schmitt landed on the moon while Evans remained in orbit.
SpaceX announced in February 2017 that two people had signed up for a weeklong trek around the moon, which the company aimed to launch before the end of 2018. That mission was to use SpaceX's Dragon crew capsule and Falcon Heavy rocket. Had SpaceX followed through with that plan, it could have returned humans to the moon near the 50th anniversary of NASA's historic Apollo 8 mission around the moon in December 1968.
But this June, The Wall Street Journal reported that the flight had slipped into 2019 at the earliest. SpaceX representatives told the WSJ that such a mission remained in the company's plans, but they didn't lay out a timeline or other details. Presumably, we will get a timeline on Monday and perhaps learn if the passenger flying on the BFR trip is one of the folks who signed up for the original Dragon-Falcon Heavy flight.
The BFR — which is short for "Big Falcon Rocket" (or the "Big F------ Rocket") — is still under development. It will consist of the most powerful rocket ever built and a spaceship capable of carrying 100 or so passengers at a time to and from Mars, Musk has said. Both of these elements will be reusable.
The BFR's main job will be to help enable Red Planet settlement — that's the chief reason that Musk founded SpaceX back in 2002, after all — but it will also perform a variety of other tasks.
Indeed, Musk has said that SpaceX plans to phase out all of its rockets and spacecraft, letting the BFR take over everything eventually. The company envisions the BFR performing satellite launches, cleaning up space junk, carrying folks on superfast "point-to-point" trips here on Earth — and, of course, helping our species spread out into the solar system, to the moon, Mars and beyond.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETSpecialisten hebben nieuwe sporen van boorpraktijken in de aan het Internationaal Ruimtestation ISS hangende capsule Sojoez MS-09 gevonden, zo heeft een niet nader genoemde bron uit de Russische raket-en ruimtevaartindustrie aan het Russische staatspersbureau Tass gezegd.
Op 30 augustus ontsnapte er even zuurstof uit het ISS omdat er een gaatje van 2 mm was in de wand van de Sojoez MS-09 die voor bemand transport naar en van de spacemeccano instaat. Het gat werd gedicht, de zes opvarenden waren en zijn niet in gevaar.
De oorzaak van het geboorde gaatje, in een deel van de Sojoez dat niet naar de Aarde terugkeert, is nog steeds niet gekend, allerhande speculaties deden de ronde.
“Er zijn niet alleen binnen de leefruimte van het ruimtetuig sporen van boren gevonden, maar ook op het scherm van het schild, aan de buitenzijde, dat tegen meteorieten moet beschermen en dat zich 15 mm van de drukromp bevindt”, aldus de bron. Bij het boren is door de drukromp gegaan en is de niet-gasdichte wand geraakt, luidde het ook.
Assemblage
Een andere bron uit de ruimtevaartindustrie zegt dat de niet-gasdichte bescherming tegen meteorieten wordt aangebracht vóór de finale assemblage van de Sojoez. In die werkplaats is het ruimtetuig gedetailleerd gefotografeerd. Er zijn geen sporen van boren of een gaatje gevonden, het boren moet later hebben plaatsgevonden, zei de bron. Ook het meteorietenschild is vóór plaatsing gefotografeerd en daar was ook niets aan te zien.
Het ruimtetuig kan dus ofwel tijdens het allerlaatste assemblagewerk of tijdens zijn negentig dagen durend verblijf in de testruimte beschadigd zijn geraakt. Het is zeer onwaarschijnlijk dat dit tijdens het transport naar de lanceerbasis Bajkonoer of daar gebeurde.
Geen nieuwe lekken
Maar een ander staatspersbureau, Sputnik News, meldde op gezag van een eveneens niet nader genoemde bron uit de Russische raket- en ruimtevaartindustrie dat er geen nieuwe lekken zijn gevonden.
Een bron bij de commissie van raketbouwer Enes aargija, die het lek in de Sojoek onderzoekt, sprak tegenover Tass tegen dat nog meer schade aan de capsule is vastgesteld. “Sommige berichten in massamedia omtrent meer schade die op het ruimtetuig Sojoez MS-09 is gevonden stroken niet met de werkelijkheid”, luidde het bij het staatsbedrijf.
Zowel de Russische vicepremier Joeri Borisov als ruimtevaartbureau Roscosmos heeft de berichten van de hand gewezen dat Amerikaanse astronauten verantwoordelijk zouden zijn voor het gaatje in de aan het Internationaal Ruimtestation (ISS) hangende Sojoez-capsule.
Op 30 augustus ontsnapte er even zuurstof uit het ISS omdat er een gaatje van 2 millimeter was in de wand van de Sojoez MS-09. Het werd gedicht en de zes opvarenden waren nooit in gevaar.
De oorzaak van het gaatje is nog altijd niet gekend, maar allerhande speculaties doen intussen wel de ronde. Tot zelfs de insinuatie in de krant Kommersant dat een Amerikaanse opvarende van het ISS verantwoordelijk zou zijn, omdat die zo zijn terugkeer naar huis had willen versnellen.
“Het is absoluut ontoelaatbaar om een schaduw te werpen op zowel onze kosmonauten als de Amerikaanse astronauten”, zei vicepremier Borisov. “Er is een onderzoek aan de gang. Het is verkeerd om een dergelijk verdict uit te spreken.”
Dat het drukverlies zich voordeed nadat het ruimtetuig al maanden in de ruimte was, is wel een “vaststaand feit”, voegde de politicus eraan toe. Het ISS is niettemin een plaats “waar geen politieke onmin is of mag zijn”.
“Roddels”
Als hoofd van het Russische ruimtevaartbureau Roscosmos viel Dmitri Rogozin de vicepremier bij. De “roddels” ondermijnen de vriendschappelijke relaties onder de zeskoppige bemanning, die uit Amerikanen, Russen en een Duitser bestaat. De geruchten “hinderen” ook het werk van de deskundigen van Roscosmos, zo klinkt het. “Alle uitlatingen op gezag van niet nader genoemde bronnen zijn ontoelaatbaar zolang de speciale (onderzoeks)commissie van Roscosmos haar werk niet heeft afgerond”, aldus Rogozin.
Forget about Area 51. That’s old news. A joke. The newer, hipper secret facility is Area 52, and Ancient Aliens has the scoop.
Area 51 is so old and well known that it’s the butt of jokes on movies like Independence Day. People with dial-up know about Area 51. Virtually everyone knows of the “secret” facility. What if, however, as Ancient Aliens suggests, Area 51 were just a coverup for a bigger, experimental extraterrestrial facility?
To make the conspiracy even deeper, what if there were multiple Area 52 facilities? Is there a massive secondary covert operation being obscured by the now not-so-top-secret Area 51?
People who live near Area 51 have reported all sorts of oddities and extraterrestrial tech for decades. There’s no denying something is going on there. Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, the CIA declassified documents that acknowledged Area 51 in 2013. Located in Southern Nevada, this top secret facility has been the location where revolutionary technology is developed. The military and government, however, have not provided much other than saying the facility is there. No word on the function of the facility.
Giorgio A. Tsoukalos went to meet with a former employee of Area 51 to get more information. According to TD Barnes, a radar and electronics employee for over four decades at Area 51, there is a considerable amount of evidence related to extraterrestrials. There is extensive reverse engineering of top secret craft, with everything from antimatter propulsion and warp drive on the agenda. At one point in the 1980s, they even developed an antiquated bunker-busting tech called “Rods from God.” For all intents and purposes, it was a secret space program.
Hiding decades of alien contact evidence, Area 51 may have outlived its purpose as a strategic military asset. If that’s the case, is it just a decoy?
Tsoukalos took another trip to Rachel, Nevada in 2018. He met with a researcher and a lifelong mining expert. The miner said he’s seen various shady activities, and believes heap mining is being used at Tempiute Mine to hide massive amounts of dirt being removed during the creation of underground facilities. Furthermore, that may be just the tip of the underground iceberg. It’s likely one of many secret government facilities connected by underground high speed trains including the following locations:
Cheyenne mountains in Colorado Springs
Dulce, NM – Archuleta Peak is where UFOs have been sighted
Los Alamos, NM
Albuquerque, NM
Roswell, NM
Area 51, NV
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
On the doorstep of where Orville and Wilbur Wright defied reality, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base serves as one of the most high techs locations in the military. Indeed, it may hold greater strategic importance than Area 51. Furthermore, there have been rumors of aliens at Wright-Pat for a long time, and some underground as well.
Going as far back as the 1947 Roswell crash, the location has been involved with news of UFOs. Wright-Patterson was the home of the Foreign Technology Division, which conducted Project Sign and Project Blue Book. The most famous UFO and foreign technology program, Project Blue Book tracked over 12,000 sightings. Most were categorized as high altitude air planes, but over 700 cases still remain.
Additionally, a former employee named LTC Marion Magruder worked at infamous Hangar 18, and saw quite a bit during his 38 years there. The first day he arrived in 1973 he was told there were aliens.
Montauk Air Force Station
Decommisioned in 1981, the Montauk Air Force Station is widely believed to be a cover for an underground facility. Multiple whistle-blowers say a secret facility under the base is still onging, and the entry is from far away at the Brookhaven National Laboratories. Furthermore, the facility is notorious for experiments using other-worldly technology and human test subjects in what’s commonly called the Montauk Project.
Declassified documents reference something called MKUltra, a program run by the Army and CIA to develop mind control and remote influence abilities. To that end, something called the Montauk Chair, harnessing ET technology & innate psychic abilities, was used to transform reality, to manifest thought into physical reality (telekinesis, remote viewing, teleportation). It’s compared to the Throne of Ptah, who was the god before all other gods in Egyptian mythology. Is the Montauk Chair the same as the Throne of Ptah?
Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program
AATIP and Bigelow Aerospace has been discussed before, and it’s compelling evidence. AATIP allows exception to FOIA requests, allowing the government to be even more covert. Combined with all of the aforementioned, it paints a picture of massive government cover-up.
There you have it. Ancient Aliens proposes a massive government cover-up of alien technology, and it’s all being done under our feet. Do you believe there are secret facilities being obscured by the attention given to Area 51?
Je hebt vast al eens gehoord van Area 51. Maar wat weet je van Area 52?
Je hebt vast al eens gehoord van Area 51. Maar wat weet je van Area 52?
Vrijwel iedereen is intussen wel bekend met Area 51. Maar wat als er naast Area 51 nog een grotere geheime basis is waar bijna niemand iets over weet? Wat als er meerdere van zulke Area 52’s zijn?
Mensen die in de buurt van Area 51 wonen melden al decennialang vreemde waarnemingen.
In 2013 werd het bestaan van de basis officieel bevestigd toen geheime CIA-stukken over Area 51 werden vrijgegeven.
Reverse engineering
In het nieuwe seizoen van Ancient Aliens wordt gesproken met iemand die in Area 51 heeft gewerkt.
Volgens T.D. Barnes, die meer dan 40 jaar op de basis werkte, is er een aanzienlijke hoeveelheid bewijs dat verband houdt met buitenaardsen.
Hij zei dat met behulp van reverse engineering technologieën uit topgeheime vaartuigen werden verkregen. Denk daarbij aan antimaterie-aandrijving en de warp drive.
Rods from God
In de jaren tachtig zou er zelfs een technologie zijn ontwikkeld die Rods from God werd genoemd. Die technologie had te maken met een geheim ruimtevaartprogramma.
Er kwam ook een onderzoeker en mijnbouwexpert aan het woord, die zei dat hij in de omgeving van de basis vaak verdachte activiteiten heeft gezien.
Hij suggereerde dat de Tempiute Mine in Nevada wordt gebruikt om een enorme hoeveelheid grond te verbergen die naar boven is gehaald tijdens de aanleg van diverse ondergrondse bases.
Aliens
Volgens hem zijn er vele geheime bases die middels een ondergronds netwerk met elkaar verbonden zijn. Daaronder vallen Dulce, Los Alamos, Roswell en Area 51, aldus de onderzoeker.
Verder werd een oud-medewerker van de beruchte Hangar 18 op Wright-Patterson Air Force Base geïnterviewd.
L.T.C. Marion Magruder, die 38 jaar in Hangar 18 werkte, maakte gedurende zijn carrière heel wat vreemde dingen mee.
Zo kreeg hij op zijn eerste werkdag in 1973 te horen dat er aliens waren.

Before 2012, if you had voiced suspicions that the Australian government had been anything but open and honourable in dealing with East Timor – its newly independent but impoverished neighbour – you would likely have been dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. But it was then revealed Australian Secret Intelligence Service agents had bugged East Timor’s cabinet office during treaty negotiations over oil and gas fields.
Yesterday’s conspiracy theories often become today’s incontrovertible facts. In the mid-1990s, journalist Gary Webb’s claims that CIA officials conspired with drug dealers bringing crack cocaine into the United States were dismissed by many as a prime example of a conspiracy theory. But the claims were true.
It’s reasonable to suppose many of the views that are now dismissed or mocked as conspiracy theories will one day be recognised as having been true all along. Indeed, the net effect of terms such as “conspiracy theory” and “conspiracism” is to silence people who are the victims of conspiracy, or who (rightly or wrongly) suspect conspiracies may be occurring. These terms serve to herd respectable opinion in ways that suit the interests of the powerful.
Ever since the philosopher Sir Karl Popper popularised the expression in the 1950s, conspiracy theories have had a bad reputation. To characterise a belief as a conspiracy theory is to imply it’s false. More than that, it implies people who accept that belief, or want to investigate whether it’s true, are irrational.
On the face of it, this is hard to understand. After all, people do conspire. That is, they engage in secretive or deceptive behaviour that is illegal or morally dubious.
Conspiracy is a common form of human behaviour across all cultures throughout recorded time, and it has always been particularly widespread in politics.
Virtually all of us conspire some of the time, and some people (such as spies) conspire virtually all of the time. Given people conspire, there can’t be anything wrong with believing they conspire. Hence there can’t be anything wrong with believing conspiracy theories or being a conspiracy theorist.
Thinking of conspiracy theories as paradigmatically false and irrational is like thinking of phrenology as a paradigm of scientific theory. Conspiracy theories, like scientific theories, and virtually any other category of theory, are sometimes true, sometimes false, sometimes held on rational grounds, sometimes not.
It’s a striking feature of much of the literature on conspiracy theories, like much of the literature on terrorism, that authors assume they are referring to the same phenomenon, while a glance at their definitions (when they bother to offer them) reveals they are not.
But seeking a fixed definition of the term “conspiracy theory” may be an idle pursuit, since the real problem with the term is that, although it lacks a fixed meaning, it does serve a fixed function.
A new Inquisition?
It’s a function similar to that served by the term “heresy” in medieval Europe. In both cases these are terms of propaganda, used to stigmatise and marginalise people who have beliefs that conflict with officially sanctioned or orthodox beliefs of the time and place in question.
If, as I believe, the treatment of those labelled as “conspiracy theorists” in our culture is analogous to the treatment of those labelled as “heretics” in medieval Europe, then the role of psychologists and social scientists in this treatment is analogous to that of the Inquisition.
Outside the psychology and social science literature some authors will sometimes offer some, usually heavily qualified, defence of conspiracy theories (in some sense of the term). But among psychologists and social scientists the assumption that they are false, the product of an irrational (or nonrational) process, and positively harmful is virtually universal.
Whenever we use the terms “conspiracy theory”, “conspiracism” or “conspiracist ideation”, we’re implying, even if we don’t mean to, there is something wrong with believing, wanting to investigate, or giving any credence at all to the possibility people are engaged in secretive or deceptive behaviour.
One bad effect of these terms is they contribute to a political environment in which it’s easier for conspiracy to thrive at the expense of openness. Another bad effect is their use is an injustice to the people who are characterised as conspiracy theorists.
Following the philosopher Miranda Fricker, we may call this a form of “testimonial injustice”. When someone asserts that a conspiracy has taken place (especially when it is a conspiracy by powerful people or institutions) that person’s word is automatically given less credence than it should because of an irrational prejudice associated with the pejorative connotations of these terms.
When professional psychologists imply these terms it can constitute a form of gaslighting; that is, a manipulation of people into doubting their own sanity.
I hope and believe that in the future these terms will be widely recognised for what they are: the products of an irrational and authoritarian outlook. Prior to Popper, we got along perfectly well without these terms. I’m sure we can learn to do so again.
