‘UFO’ spotted onboard US Navy aircraft carrier, EXTRAORDINARY YouTube footage shows
‘UFO’ spotted onboard US Navy aircraft carrier, EXTRAORDINARY YouTube footage shows
A “UFO” parked beside a Navy helicopter was spotted onboard a US aircraft carrier, YouTube footage of the landing of a US Navy F-15 fighter jet appeared to show.
The footage, slowed down for effect, was published by “Section 51”, a US-based conspiracy theory YouTube channel collecting footage of “unidentified flying objects”.
It shows a fighter shadowing a US jet as it comes into land, while a triangular object can clearly be seen beside a Navy helicopter.
Commenting on the video, many people believed the object was a TR-3B, a supposed anti-gravity spy plane vehicle some maintain the US air force is developing.
One amazed YouTube user wrote: “TR-3B. It really exists!"
Another offered a detailed explanation, writing: “I think it's a TR-3B, the latest of the US's black projects vehicles.
“This is the next generation of secret technology developed by the skunk works and other secret development programs.
“It is in any case not alien. It might have been developed with the use of reverse-engineered alien technology. But built on this planet.”
Others were not so convinced, with user Jim Hatch penning: “Pretty sure they wouldn't leave it parked on the deck of an aircraft carrier, was it an alien spacecraft or some sort of secret technology?”
The footage appeared to show a UFO-like object right next to a Navy helicopter

And others suggested the object was Photoshopped into the footage, joking about the triangle craft's “stealth shadow”.
One said: “Nice CGI.”
Another sceptic said: “So tell me why a craft which can defy gravity and travel faster than anything known by mankind, which doesn't use fossil fuel stands on the deck of an aircraft carrier?”
But there were some who were not sure what to think.
Matt Simon said: “The problem with today's CGI is that it's getting damn near impossible to know what is real and what is fake.
Section 51 says its videos are for entertainment purposes only

The existence of UFOs has never been proven

“Unless you're right there to actually witness it with your own eyes, when you see a compelling video and wonder if it's real or fake, sometimes all you can do is shake your head and shrug your shoulders.”
Eventually, ufoofinterest.org, which claims to “debunk hoaxes, conspiracies and misinformation”, rubbished the UFO claims.
The group tweeted a video which showed the original US Navy training footage with no UFO in sight, proving it had been doctored.
They said: “Triangle shaped UFO spotted on US Aircraft Carrier in the Mediterranean Sea?
“It's interesting to check out which sources the hoax promoter and CGI artist SECTION 51 used to fabricate his latest video.
“Here's a source without that fake UFO.”

US observatory denies involvement of aliens in its ‘security’ closure

An American solar observatory has denied that aliens were involved in its security-related closure in a state known for secretive military testing and a suspected UFO crash.
The New Mexico solar observatory remains closed after being evacuated for unknown reasons last week.
“I can tell you it definitely wasn’t aliens,” a spokeswoman for the National Solar Observatory, part of the Sunspot Solar Observatory consortium, toldThe Washington Post.
Meanwhile, an investigation was underway by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
“We don’t know anything. We’re just as curious as anyone else,” one guard said.
No local law enforcement was involved in the case as the FBI remained on the scene.
“They wouldn’t give us any details,” Otero County Sheriff Benny House said. “I’ve got ideas, but I don’t want to put them out there. That’s how bad press or rumors get started, and it’ll cause paranoia, or I might satisfy everybody’s mind and I might be totally off base.”
The observatory is also taking the chance to attract the people’s attention to its work.
“With the excitement this closure has generated, we hope you will come and visit us when we do reopen, and see for yourself the services we provide for science and public outreach in heliophysics,” it said.
Mars Explorers Could Live in 'Igloo' Near Red Planet's North Pole
Mars Explorers Could Live in 'Igloo' Near Red Planet's North Pole

Mars explorers could live in an igloo-like structure near the Red Planet's frigid north pole, to take advantage of the seasonally abundant solar energy in that region, a new study suggests.
The Martian poles are famous among scientists for their layered deposits of ice and dust, as well as for containing perchlorate. Perchlorate is commonly used as a rocket fuel here on Earth, and some microbes here actuallytap the stuff for energy.
According to the new Mars-outpost concept — which was outlined by researchers at Switzerland's Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne (known by its French acronym EPFL) — the base would initially host humans on the surface for a 288-day stretch: During that time, the north pole is bathed in sunlight continuously. [How Will a Human Mars Base Work? NASA's Vision in Images]
The outpost would be covered by a dome made of polyethylene fiber shrouded in a 10-foot-thick (3 meters) layer of ice — sort of like an igloo.
Underneath the dome would be a central core, which would include the living space, and three capsules that would serve as airlocks between that space and the exterior. Since the dome would overlie the core and capsules, it would protect Mars explorers against radiation and micrometeorite strikes, and keep internal atmospheric pressure constant as well.

"The poles may pose more challenges in the beginning, but they are the best location for the long term since they harbor natural resources that we may be able to use," study lead author Anne-Marlene Rüede, a student minoring in space technology at EPFL's space engineering center, said in a statement from EFPL.
"We wanted to develop a strategy based on technologies that have been selected accordingly and outline a test scenario so that, 20 years from now, astronauts will be able to carry out this kind of space mission," she added.
The explorers would live off the land for at least nine months at a time, harvesting water, oxygen and nitrogen from the nearby ice. The carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere, as well as the silicon, iron, aluminum and sulfur in the soil, could be used to manufacture bricks, glass, plastic and fuels (such as hydrogen or methanol), the researchers said.

Here's how the mission planning would go. First, robots would fly alone to the Martian north polar region to make a small living space for the crew, and to scout for locally available natural resources.
The crew would come next. During the second mission, astronauts would use a sort of crane system that would orbit around Mars and move equipment from spacecraft down onto the planet's surface.

"The crane vehicle could be reused several times and would be powered by fuel produced on Mars. It would reduce the payload that space shuttles would have to carry up to the research base," study co-author Claudio Leonardi, a scientist at EPFL, said in the same statement. "The vehicle's docking system would be similar to that used on the International Space Station: once a shuttle was docked, the vehicle would unload the cargo and crew and set them down on Mars."

The researchers envision the base initially supporting a crew of six explorers. But putting the idea into effect could potentially lead to even bigger things down the road, study team members said.

"We would need to conduct an initial mission to try everything out for the first time," Rüede said. "And the better that initial mission is thought out, the faster we will be able to get things going and move on to colonization."
The study has been accepted for publication in the journal Acta Astronautica. It was also presented last week at the International Tourism Talks of the Future conference in Vixouze, France.
YouTube Goes Nuts Over Apparent Footage of 'UFO' Aboard US Aircraft Carrier
YouTube Goes Nuts Over Apparent Footage of 'UFO' Aboard US Aircraft Carrier
The amateur footage, said to have been captured by a pilot filming the landing of a US Navy F-15 fighter jet aboard the USS Gerald Ford, sparked a debate about the video's authenticity.
The video, published by 'Section 51', a US-based YouTube channel collecting footage of unidentified flying objects, shows a fighter shadowing a US jet as it comes in for a landing aboard the carrier, accidentally sighting a grey metallic triangle-shaped object parked next to a Navy helicopter.
The footage, slowed down for effect and accompanied by appropriately eerie music, has racked up 500,000+ views on YouTube, and pitted users into a debate on whether the video has been tampered with.
Multiple users were sure that it was the TR-3B, an alleged ultra-secret anti-gravity spy plane vehicle some believe is being developed by the US Air Force.
"TR-3B. It really exists!" one YouTube user excited wrote. "I think it's a TR-3B, the latest of [the US's] black projects vehicles," another added, launching into a detailed explanation. "This is the next generation of secret technology developed by the skunk works and other secret development programs. It is in any case not alien. It might have been developed with the use of [reverse] engineered alien technology. But built on this planet."
Others suggested the object was Photoshopped into the footage, joking about the triangle craft's "stealth shadow." "Nice CGI," one user said, complementing the author.
"Pretty sure they wouldn't leave it parked on the deck of an aircraft carrier were it an alien spacecraft or some sort of secret technology," another skeptic noted. "So tell me why a craft which can defy gravity and travel faster than anything known by mankind, which doesn't use fossil fuel stands on the deck of an aircraft carrier?" another user asked.
Some simply weren't sure what to believe. "The problem with today's CGI is that it's getting damn near impossible to know what is real and what is fake. Unless you're right there to actually witness it with your own eyes, when you see a compelling video and wonder if it's real or fake, sometimes all you can do is shake your head and shrug your shoulders," one user said.
Eventually, ufoofinterest.org, a site whose self-described purpose is to 'debunk hoaxes, conspiracies and misinformation,' crashed the conspiracy party, showing the footage with the 'UFO', along with the original US Navy training footage, with no 'UFO' anywhere in sight.

Based on the best-selling book by George Knapp & Dr. Colm Kelleher, Hunt for The Skinwalker investigates the confidential, most extensive scientific study of a paranormal hotspot in human history. This is an exclusive OpenMinds.tv interview with filmmaker Jeremy Corbell at the friends and family pre-premeire screening in Las Vegas.
Get the book: Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utahhttps://amzn.to/2vYs6Tf
—Transcript of Interview—
Alejandro: Okay. So we’ve got an exclusive interview with Jeremy Corbell, we’re at a premiere of the movie. Of course, Open Minds listeners know who Jeremy is, and they know I’m a huge fan of your films-
Jeremy: Thanks, man.
Alejandro: … so this is really exciting, this has gotta be exciting for you.
Jeremy: This is, man. This is the premiere of Hunt for the Skinwalker, that film goes live on iTunes on September 11th for everybody to watch, but you and everybody gets to see today, really, the pre-premiere before it’s launched to the public. And man, this is an exciting movie, two hours and seven minutes, plus an hour and a half of bonus features. You have never seen footage from inside Skinwalker Ranch. This film shows you hours of it. During active investigations by the NIDS team. It’s incredible. So thanks to George Knapp and all the work that he’s done for over two decades, this movie is gonna show it to you. It’s gonna show all the goods.
Alejandro: So cool. So a couple of parts, cattle mutilations have happened on that ranch, there’s been UFO sightings, a lot of people feel that those are a type of phenomena related to aliens. Were there aliens at the ranch, you think?
Jeremy: Well, whatever is there certainly is alien to us. We don’t know for sure the nature of this reality. There seems to be something that’s been here longer than us, and recorded since the beginning of recorded human history. We see a pantheon of that at the ranch, it really, truly is like a paranormal Disneyland. And you might not believe it, or someone else might not believe it. They might dub it aliens or portholes or dimensional beings, I don’t know. Nobody knows. But the fact of the matter is yes, craft are visible there. Huge craft. Beings that we would call aliens, that are certainly alien to us, occur and interact, close encounters, with people not only on the ranch, but in the Uintah Basin. So look man, I don’t know what’s going on there. If I try to give you a theory it would be a guess. What I do now is that it’s worth and worthy of investigation, and that’s what this film is going to do, it’s going to light a fuse, man.
Alejandro: And it’s gonna show that the government felt it was worthy of investigation and spent millions of dollars doing that.
Jeremy: It’s gonna break the news, it’s gonna tell you in-depth the connection between the 22 million dollars from Harry Reid, that all began with Skinwalker Ranch, it was targeted and focused on Skinwalker Ranch. The majority of that funding went to Skinwalker Ranch. AATIP, what we were told through the New York Times, is a very small part of the bigger truth. And this film, with the bonus materials, will clarify that.
Alejandro: Last question is, with this film, what is your intent, what is your main goal, with getting this information out?
Jeremy: Alejandro, you know my main goal. That is to weaponize your curiosity, take you from being a passive observer and consumer to a participant. That’s it.
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.
Top political members asked how much taxpayers’ cash was spent on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) which investigated flying saucer reports for four years from 2008.
Mr Pope said: “I think the powerful House Armed Services Committee was as fascinated and mystified by the revelations about the Pentagon's UFO project as everyone else.
“Some committee members and staffers may have been angered that they were kept in the dark about AATIP, not least because the US government had previously denied there was any official interest in UFOs.
“The record of Congressional proceedings that mentions AATIP suggests to me that the committee asked for and received a brief on this UFO project from the Defense Intelligence Agency, possibly with a view to holding formal Congressional hearings.
“These hearings might be narrowly focused on AATIP, looking into how taxpayers' dollars were spent and what the DIA concluded.
“This would almost certainly include investigation of the three declassified videos that have been released, showing US navy jets chasing unidentified objects.
“Hearings should probably go wider than just looking at AATIP, and should look at the UFO phenomenon as a whole.
“It would be a great opportunity to get to the bottom of the UFO mystery.”
Mr Pope said he is aware from private sources that discussions are taking place and he would be happy to testify.
He said President Donald Trump has stayed quiet on the subject on the subject of UFOs but Hilary Clinton had indicated she would request information on Area 51.

Four New Technologies That Are Driving Archaeology Into the Future
Four New Technologies That Are Driving Archaeology Into the Future
Modern archaeologists are trading in the shovel and brush for innovative new tech.
By Sarah Sloa
When your profession is studying ancient temples and cultural artifacts, you need a toolbox that matches the magnitude of the job. Brushes, buckets, and sieves have long been the foundation of an archaeologist’s work, but today, those essentials are paired with groundbreaking technology to deepen human understanding of our collective past.
While studying the Cajamarca culture, which existed in the highlands of northern Peru, archaeologist Solsire Cusicanqui Marsano has a variety of high-tech tools that enable her to analyze without doing damage.
Marsano, a Ph.D. candidate at Harvard University, looks for evidence of their way of life by excavating settlements, pottery, bones, and other artifacts. A key part of her hunt is the use of high-tech tools, which allow her to identify the best sites before she has to grab the shovels and break ground.
“I´m using different types of technology in every step of my work,” Marsano tells Inverse. Below are just some of the high tech tools used by a modern archaeologist.
1. CAMERA DRONE
Marsano uses drones to survey the regions she suspects could reveal ancient clues — and to hunt for archeological sites in danger. Her drone of choice is the DJI Mavic Pro, a small and powerful unmanned aerial vehicle that can zoom around the arid, high-altitude mountains around her. With the Mavic, Marsano is as equally able to peer into the hard-to-reach Ventanillas de Combayo — a mountainside necropolis almost 10,000 feet above sea level — as she is able to spot the patches of looting holes that spread like chickenpox throughout the valley.
The DJI Mavic Pro, which can zip at 40 miles per hour, is complete with FlightAutonomy technology that allows it to sense obstacles up to 49 feet away — a crucial feature when you’re diving around ancient tombs. Importantly the drone also films at a 4k resolution frame rate at 30 frames per second and shoots 12 megapixel stills. Those features are important to Marsano, giving her both the gift of vision and information acquisition.
2. AGISOFT PHOTOSCAN
Marsano later processes the photographs taken with the Mavic with a sophisticated software program called Agisoft Photoscan. It allows her to create 3D models of her sites — virtual replicas that are geographically accurate representations of where she works. Marsano, and other archeologists who do the same, can layer these digital, 3D models over pre-existing maps to get a better sense of the areas tophography and elevation. Essentially, the photogrammetry software stitches together the hundreds of photographs taken with the drone, resulting in a composite image. Goodbye treasure map, hello perfectly accurate digital model.
But those aren’t the only technological tools that archaeologist use to amp up their work.
3. MUON TOMOGRAPHY
Muon tomography is an imaging technique first developed in the 1950s and then elevated by scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2002. Muons are elementary particles generated by cosmic rays, both naturally and artificially. With a technique called muon scattering tomography, archaeologists are able to visualize the inner structures within structures in a non-invasive way — whether the structure is an Egyptian pyramid or a subterranean mine.
It’s using particle physics to zoom into a void. Muons are high-energy particles with a mass 207 times that of an electron — meaning that they can penetrate deep into matter like limestone and granite. When employed by archaeologists, this tech helps them visualize spaces that haven’t quite breached, while locating and visualizing where they hope to go.

4. LIDAR
LIDAR is an acronym for Light Detection and Ranging and has a wide use of applications ranging from navigating autonomous cars to helping farmers sense where they should apply fertilizer. Archeologists also make use of the remote sensing method: In the hands of excavators, LIDAR is used to create highly accurate and detailed 3D maps of ground surface tomography. It not only maps hundreds of miles — it alerts archeologists to the possibly hidden temples and tombs on those maps as well.
A LIDAR instrument consists of a laser, scanner, and GPS receiver. The laser sends out light pulses capable of penetrating deep vegetation, which in turn generates 3D information about the surface characteristics of the region its evaluating.
In 2018, archeologists announced that they used LIDAR to map 470 deep-jungle square kilometers, a process that revealed more than 15,000 ancient Maya architectural remains — a huge jump from the eight square kilometers and 1,000 structures they had identified previously. Laser scans can expose networks of temples and palaces, if archeologists shoot them in the right direction.
The Andean people flourished as their own society in the Cajamarca valley until they were eventually conquered by the Incas in the late 1400s. And in 1533, Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro executed the last Incan emperor.
Human history can easily be covered by nature, but archaeologists like Marsano can use drones and LIDAR and Muon Tomography to uncover our past.
A new winged robot helps explain why airborne insects are so doggone hard to swat.
Scientists have wondered how these tiny pilots pull off such rapid twists and turns, but researchers haven’t been able to test all their ideas by monitoring real insects or using tethered robots. Now, a free-flying, insect-inspired robot, described in the Sept. 14 Science, gives researchers an alternative. Programming the bot with different flight control strategies and comparing its movement with real animal flights could reveal which techniques winged insects and other creatures use for airborne acrobatics.
The new robot can control how much it turns or rolls to the left or right — or pitches forward or backward — by precisely adjusting the flapping speed and angles of its wings. The bot is nimble enough to zip around at about 25 kilometers per hour and do aerial somersaults.
Matěj Karásek, a bioinspired roboticist at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, and colleagues used the robot to investigate how fruit flies execute rapid banked turns. The researchers had suspected a fruit fly doesn’t make these hairpin turns by intentionally turning to the left or right. Instead, the team thought that simply rolling to the side and pitching forward or backward would angle the insect in the proper direction. Their experiments with the bot supported this theory. When Karásek’s team programmed the robot to roll and pitch, but not to point itself left or right, the bot’s banked turns closely resembled those of real fruit flies.
This flapping robot could also help examine the flight methods of other animals, such as hummingbirds. Or it could be used for search-and-rescue jobs, building inspections or pollinating plants inside greenhouses, Karásek says.
SMOOTH MOVES
A nimble, insect-inspired bot that twirls and zips around in the lab could help scientists better understand how winged animals weave through the air.
Strange Two Kilometer Long Strip of Structures Unearthed By Melting Ice In Antarctica
Strange Two Kilometer Long Strip of Structures Unearthed By Melting Ice In Antarctica
A two-kilometer series of 22 eerie-looking buildings was unveiled by the thawing of ice in Antarctica - leading to the assertion that the installation was a fail-safe for the global elite or a World War III landing site.
Coordinates for unknown base Latitude 75° 0'46.98"S Longitude 0° 4'52.71"E
Experts say the bizarre-looking series of buildings is the size of a small town - and seems to have been buried for years.
North of the settlement deep in Antarctica, where temperatures can drop to -130F (-90C), there seems to be a runway, and the entire area is covered with apparent vehicle tracks.
According to a researcher who deals with the unexplained, the nearest official scientific research station is Troll, a Norwegian research station at Jutulsessen, 200 miles northeast of the structure near the Princess Martha Coast in Queen Maud's Land of Norway.

Imaginez un instant que des centaines de vaisseaux spatiaux et de sphères géantes, de la taille d’une planète, soient entrés dans notre système solaire. Quelle pourrait être la réaction ? De toute évidence, de tels événements ne se produisent généralement pas de façon régulière (du moins pas à notre connaissance). Par conséquent, les images que nous sommes sur le point de voir peuvent avoir un impact particulier pour nous.
Mise au point avant de commencer :
Avant de commencer, il est important de noter que bien que tout ce dont nous allons discuter soit basé sur des possibilités scientifiques, seul une partie des éléments sont vérifiés. Toutes les informations ne peuvent être pertinentes que pour notre propre spéculation personnelle. Si ces révélations s’avèrent vraies, elles pourraient mener à plusieurs changements très importants sur notre planète et au-delà. Certains éléments sont factuels et d’autres sont de l’ordre du «croisement d’infos» Cela étant dit, commençons les analyses!
Pour commencer la discussion, remontons les pendules à l’année 2012.
Tornades solaires :
Au début de 2012, les scientifiques étaient occupés à observer notre soleil pendant qu’il subissait son cycle de maximum solaire. Naturellement, de nombreux articles et commentaires ont été publiés à l’époque sur le thème des changements solaires et des diverses anomalies entourant le cycle solaire. Certaines de ces publications provenaient de sources officielles et d’autres de sources indépendantes. En général, cependant, toutes ces publications ont piqué la curiosité d’une grande partie du public américain.
L’une de ces sources officielles, Helioviewer, est devenue particulièrement populaire en raison de sa capacité à publier certains des plus beaux gros plans de notre soleil de SOHO(Solar and Heliosperic Observatory). Bien que plusieurs de ces images soient assez impressionnantes, l’une d’entre elles semblait révéler beaucoup plus que ce que l’astronomie conventionnelle pourrait vouloir admettre.
Vus souvenez-vous avoir vu cette image ? Nous savons que l’image provient du réseau télescopique SOHO et qu’elle a été présentée comme information officielle à l’époque, bien qu’il semble que, comme par hasard, le lien original ne fonctionne plus.
À l’époque, le sujet que les astronomes appelaient les tornades solaires était un sujet brûlant (petit jeu de mot ^^). Ces formations en spirale semblent avoir été le résultat de l’augmentation des énergies du soleil pendant le maximum solaire. Ces anomalies étaient assez impressionnantes, car chacune était en fait plusieurs fois plus grande que la Terre elle-même. Cependant, ces tornades ont en fait partagé la scène avec un autre phénomène remarquable.
Regardez à nouveau l’image. À quoi la tornade est-elle liée ? Tout porte à croire qu’il s’agit d’un objet sphérique invisible et pourtant parfaitement défini relié à la tornade. Si cet objet est réel, il éclipserait facilement la Terre. Il semble avoir la taille de Neptune ou même de Jupiter par rapport au soleil.
Si cette image est réelle, que pourrait-elle être ? Mettons ce mystère de côté pour un instant et considérons ce que nous savons de notre situation actuelle sur Terre.
7 Observatoires Solaires fermés simultanément :
La journée du 6 septembre a commencé par un incident très étrange impliquant le FBI qui a soudainement fermé un observatoire solaire à Sunspot, au Nouveau Mexique. Les médias n’ont pas expliqué pourquoi le FBI s’est soudainement pointé avec un hélicoptère «Blackhawk» et a fermé cet observatoire universitaire ainsi que la Poste qui est localisé à quelques centaines de mètres. Les autorités n’ont fait aucun commentaire, et les citoyens qui vivent à proximité de Sunspot ne semblaient guère au courant des raisons possibles de la fermeture. La police locale est également laissée dans l’ignorance totale.
Observatoire Solaire à Sunspot, au Nouveau Mexique
Selon une recherche en ligne, les données en direct de 6 autres observatoires solaires du monde entier semblent avoir été coupées exactement le même jour, peut-être seulement quelques heures avant ou après l’Observatoire AURA à Sunspot. Cela concerne les observatoires suivants : Australie (Network Dome Camera located in Sydney), Chili (SOAR Observatory), Espagne (BRT Tenerife Telescope), Hawaii (observatory at the University of Hawaii Hilo et Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope observatory), et Pennsylvanie (JAT Observatory)
Il serait compréhensible qu’un ou deux de ces flux soit interrompu périodiquement, étant donné que l’entretien régulier du matériel de streaming doit généralement être effectué. Cependant, il semble que les flux provenant de plusieurs pays se soient tous arrêtés presque en même temps (apparemment à quelques heures d’intervalle), laissant de nombreux astronomes professionnels dans l’impossibilité de voir les changements possibles autour de notre Soleil.
Depuis au moins une journée, nous n’avons que peu ou pas de données scientifiques enregistrées pendant ce qui pourrait être une «tempête géomagnétique importante». Dans des circonstances normales, il n’y aurait rien d’intéressant à cacher face à une tempête solaire comme celle-ci. La tempête n’était pas si puissante que ça et il ne semblait pas y avoir eu quoi que ce soit de notable pour qu’une agence comme le FBI aurait voulu la cacher. Cela peut nous amener à croire que quelque chose d’autre pourrait se produire à l’intérieur ou peut-être autour de notre soleil.
Apparition «d’Ovnis» proche du Soleil :
Le 11 septembre 2018, Maria G. Hill de Salem, Indiana, a photographié quelque chose d’extraordinaire près du soleil que l’on peut décrire comme de grands ovnis en forme de disque ainsi qu’une flotte énorme de petits ovnis qui accompagnent les ovnis massifs en forme de disque.
Gina a écrit sur son Facebook : 11 septembre 2018 à 8 h 02 Salem, Indiana.
«C’est ce qui est apparu dans mon appareil photo après que j’ai pris une photo du soleil dans le ciel dans l’est ce matin. iphone 8 avec un adaptateur d’objectif.»
L’objet rougeoyant au centre est une image quelque peu déformée du soleil. Il y a aussi des objets entourant le soleil qui sont inconnus.
Nous pouvons regarder ces petits objets tachetés et simplement supposer qu’il s’agit de particules de poussière sur l’objectif. Cependant, la forme et la disposition de la poussière sont généralement aléatoires. Ces petits objets ne le sont pas.
Ils semblent être des objets réels répartis dans l’espace tridimensionnel. Comme nous pouvons le remarquer, les objets de l’image centrale ci-dessus semblent tous avoir le même point de fuite à l’intérieur de l’image, ce qui m’amène à soupçonner que l’image représente une zone très volumineuse, comme l’espace extérieur.
Certaines images semblent représenter des objets identiques ou similaires aux autres. Il n’y a aucun moyen pour nous de déterminer les relations de taille, car nous ne savons pas ce que nous regardons réellement. Nous ne connaissons pas non plus la distance entre ces objets et le soleil. Cependant, à partir de l’image ci-dessus à gauche (F), nous voyons ce qui semble être une sorte de couronne ou ce qui pourrait être comparé à un choc d’arc solaire entourant chaque objet du côté tourné vers le soleil de chaque objet.
Si ces objets étaient des vaisseaux avancés d’une sorte ou d’une autre, nous pourrions nous attendre à voir quelque chose de très similaire – de grands vaisseaux voyageant par leur propre force tout en étant secoués par l’explosion des vents solaires.
En plus de ces objets plus petits, nous voyons ce qui semble être d’énormes sphères transparentes réparties en de multiples endroits sur chaque image. Si celles-ci ne représentent pas des taches sur une lentille. Ces images semblent dépeindre les sphères transparentes familières dont nous avons vu des images dans des photographies astronomiques officielles passées.
Remarquez comment, dans certaines de ces images, la lumière du soleil brille plus brillamment du côté des sphères les plus proches du soleil, tout comme on pourrait s’attendre à le voir sur un objet sphérique physique, transparent et légèrement opaque.
Cela me rappelle cette magnifique vidéo bien plus ancienne :
Un extrait de la mission STS-75 (navette spatiale Columbia – lancée le 22 février 1996) tiré des Archives Martyn Stubbs de la NASA :
Corrélation avec COBRA :
Cobra a publié des codes pour le Mouvement Résistance, comme il le fait souvent et deux de ces codes se lisaient comme suit : «L’invasion du domaine L2 a commencé» / «VITRIOL Keyhole activée» et «ALT4Y4LOC2».
Décryptage :
1) Dans le code donné plus haut à savoir «ALT4Y4LOC2» a été publié le 1er septembre et on peut reconnaitre «LOC» qui fait référence au «Lunar Operation Command» donc à des opération sur des bases lunaire militaires.
2) Le code «L1 domain invasion started» (L’invasion du domaine L1 a commencé) a été publié le 9 semptembre.
L1 étant un point de Lagrange : plus d’infos sur ce lien :
Ces deux codes importants on été donc publié le 1er et le 9 septembre donc quelques jours avant les fermetures des observatoires solaires et les observations «d’OVNIS». Cobra avait annoncé que les Forces Galactiques bienveillantes avançaient vers l’espace sublunaire et que d’autres Forces nouvelles arrivaient dans le système solaire au fur et à mesure que la Cabale est retirée et que les bombes Toplets ( bombes à Quark ) sont retirées.
Corrélation avec «L’Événement Céleste» de QAnon :
Pour ceux qui ont suivi la source QAnon (source confirmée par cobra avec 70 % d’informations véridiques), ce sujet pourrait être quelque peu familier. Cependant, pour ceux qui ne l’ont pas encore fait, je vais faire un bref rappel.
La source d’information QAnon est arrivé sur la scène publique vers octobre 2017. À l’époque, cette source était affichée sur l’obscur site Web, 4Chan, et ne semblait pas très importante. Ce n’est que lorsque Q a commencé à afficher ce qui semblait être des prédictions suggérées d’événements mondiaux majeurs que davantage de gens ont commencé à s’en rendre compte. Puis, lorsque certaines de ces prédictions ont commencé à se réaliser, une grande partie du public américain a vraiment commencé à comprendre.
S’agit t-il d’une prédiction de cet arrivage massif d’ovnis ? Ou une référence à l’événementdont parle Cobra et d’autres ? S’agit t’il d’un code qui n’a rien à voir ?
Mise à jour du 16 /09 2018 : La FEMA aux USA va tester pour la première fois une «Alerte présidentielle» :
Il ne s’agit pas d’un message politique, mais d’un message d’urgence envoyé par le président Donald Trump dans le cadre du système de l’Agence fédérale de gestion des urgences pour prévenir le public en cas d’urgence nationale.
La majorité des utilisateurs de téléphones cellulaires recevront une alerte le jeudi 20 septembre, avec l’en-tête «Alerte présidentielle» et le message «C’EST UN TEST du Système national d’alerte d’urgence sans fil. Aucune action n’est nécessaire.»
WEA a été techniquement lancé en avril 2012, mais ce sera la première fois que la FEMA testera le système au niveau présidentiel dans l’espoir de résoudre les problèmes, a déclaré l’agence dans un communiqué de presse cette semaine.
Plus de 100 opérateurs téléphonique, dont les plus grands (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile), participeront au test d’alerte d’urgence, selon la FEMA.
La FEMA effectuera également un test de son système d’alerte d’urgence (EAS) pour les radiodiffuseurs et les télédiffuseurs le même jour, deux minutes après le test de la WEA.
( Note ExoPortail : Ce genre de message sont généralement envoyé pour alerter d’une catastrophe naturelle, attaque terroriste ou, je cite, «tout autre situation d’urgence» )
Nous connaissons tous la discipline scientifique de l’astronomie. Bien que intéressante, l’astronomie dominante a tendance à être ennuyeuse, immuable et prévisible. Cependant, au sein de la communauté alternative, l’astronomie prend souvent une toute nouvelle dimension de possibilité.
Selon de nombreux dénonciateurs qui sont très populaires au sein de ces communautés, l’univers ne se compose pas seulement d’énergie électromagnétique. L’univers est également fondé sur l’énergie électroplasmique, et cette énergie est devenue la nouvelle base d’une grande partie de la version holistique et avant-gardiste de l’astrophysique.
Essentiellement, les étoiles ne sont pas simplement des boules de gaz qui brûlent ou fusionnent. Ce sont des générateurs électroplasmiques ainsi que des champs soutenus de ce que l’on appelle l’énergie de torsion. Nous ne parlerons pas de la physique des torsions pour gagner du temps. Pour l’instant, abordons ce sujet des étoiles électroplasmiques.
Selon la science de pointe, les étoiles se composent d’un noyau chargé négativement et d’un trou noir entouré d’une couronne chargée positivement. Ces composants interagissent avec l’espace-temps d’une manière très intéressante. Cependant, pour garder l’explication simple, nous dirons simplement que le noyau et la couronne travaillent ensemble pour créer une fusion nucléaire à la surface.
De plus, cette dynamique peut en fait se comporter comme une passerelle hyperdimensionnelle. Selon les témoignages de dénonciateurs et les révélations astronomiques courantes, il existe naturellement des liens à haute énergie entre les étoiles, qui traversent généralement de grandes distances dans l’espace. Ce sujet a été couvert par le site Web, le Daily Mail, parmi beaucoup d’autres, et il est assez détaillé et implicite. Examinons la situation.
Les astronomes ont exposé de nouvelles preuves qui renforcent la croyance en l’interconnexion entre les planètes et les galaxies dans le système solaire.
Le Dr Stephan Keller de l’École de recherche en astronomie et en astrophysique de l’Université nationale australienne a révélé les détails complexes des résultats, qui relient l’Univers entier.
Il a dit :
«En examinant la position d’anciens groupes d’étoiles, appelés amas globulaires, nous avons découvert que les amas forment un plan étroit autour de la Voie lactée au lieu d’être dispersés dans le ciel»
Bien que l’astronomie dominante puisse laisser beaucoup à désirer, pour la plupart, elle semble prouver le point ci-dessus plutôt correctement. Des étoiles, des planètes et des galaxies entières sont en fait reliées par ces filaments cosmiques qui peuvent être aussi vieux que chacune de ces galaxies elles-mêmes.
Bien que la science dominante suppose généralement que l’univers est dans un état constant de déséquilibre et de désintégration (ce qui est largement inexact d’après des découvertes scientifiques plus récentes), la réalité de cette connectivité énergétique dans notre univers suggère le contraire. Non seulement notre univers présente des preuves d’une fonction soutenue et équilibrée, mais il présente un potentiel intrinsèque et omniprésent d’évolution dans l’ensemble du cosmos.
Civilisations de type II
Beaucoup d’entre nous connaissent peut-être le travail d’un astrophysicien célèbre, le Dr Nikolia Kardashev. Kardashev est peut-être mieux connu pour ses expériences révolutionnaires dans la recherche d’une vie ET intelligente au moyen de divers signaux cosmiques provenant de l’espace lointain. Bien qu’il soit né en avance sur son temps, Kardashev a ouvert plusieurs pistes importantes dans le domaine de l’astrophysique.
Nikolia Kardashev était également connu pour ses théories sur les civilisations ET. Bref, il a mis au point une échelle – maintenant connue sous le nom d’échelle de Kardashev – qui pourrait nous aider à déterminer le niveau de développement technologique possible d’une civilisation.
Consommations énergétiques estimées des trois types de civilisations définies par l’échelle de Kardachev
Une civilisation de Type II – peut exploiter la puissance de leur étoile entière (non seulement transformer la lumière des étoiles en énergie, mais contrôler l’étoile). Plusieurs méthodes ont été proposées à cet effet. La plus populaire est l’hypothétique «Sphère Dyson». Ce dispositif, si vous voulez l’appeler ainsi, engloberait chaque centimètre de l’étoile, rassemblant la plus grande partie (sinon la totalité) de son énergie produite et la transférant sur une planète pour une utilisation ultérieure. Alternativement, si l’énergie de fusion (le mécanisme qui alimente les étoiles) avait été maîtrisée par la course, un réacteur à une échelle vraiment immense pourrait être utilisé pour satisfaire leurs besoins. Les géants gaziers voisins peuvent être utilisés pour leur hydrogène, lentement drainé de la vie par un réacteur en orbite.
Que la raison soit en rapport à des Ovnis ou à une activité absolument anormale du soleil, ou un « corps étranger », il se passe définitivement quelque chose avec la zone proche du soleil que les autorités ne veulent pas que l’on voit. J’espère que l’analyse vous aura intéressé, en continuant à suivre cette affaire.

History is amazing. It gives a peak and an insight into the whereabouts and future alike. However, it can be deceptive at times as well. Indeed, there have been instances when the facts about the royalty, repressive clan, elite or the despots, have been lied about, in accordance with the suitability.
As of present the phenomenon is continuing. History has pitfalls which indicate a disparate focus. Here are some pointers which instigate on the same:
So, there has been a map found in 1513 by Piri Reis. He was the admiral in the 16th century of a Turkish fleet. This map depicts Antarctica to be free of ice; the same is applicable for coastline of America. This cannot be possible. Especially, since apparently Antarctica had ice on it for millions of years! Yet again, the map utilizes math and the longitude and latitude system. While, the fact is that the latter was delved by Professor Charles Hapggod and ascertained that at that time, nothing of the sort ever existed.
piri-map The Piri Reis map shows the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica.
Pyramids have always welcomed queries, speculation and utmost fantasy. The author Semir Osmanagic discovery of the pyramids in Bosnia to be over 25,000 years old is indeed mind boggling. Again, the Egyptologists do not abide by this at all. It is indeed surprising that how is this possible, when the first civilization of humanity appeared 6,000 years ago.
The pyramids of Bosnia are hills, was claimed by an Egyptologist. But, the physicist Slobodan Mizrak has recorded high electromagnetic intervals at the tip, which is no ways a natural occurrence. In fact, the archaeologists have also taken concrete from the pyramid and tested them. In accordance with the tests, the construction material was witnessed to be 5 times stronger than ever analyzed by the PUT, Polytechnical University of Turin. Since, when have hills been made of such strong materials!
Studies suggest the pyramids in Bosnia are covered in soil aged around 12-15,000 years old
It has been said and claimed by the historians time and again that the first civilization dates back to 6,000 years ago. However, The Great Sphinx of Giza has been witnessed of having 15,000 years of water erosion, even when it is one of the driest places in the world. Indeed, the findings and claims do not match!
And, it is not done yet!
So, there is the statue of Ramses II, nestled in Luxor in Egypt. Fabricated of red granite, its density level is equivalent to quartz crystal. The statue is an epitome of sacred geometry and advanced mathematics. It is really surprising as to how the ancient Egyptians managed that with the hand tools. In fact, the archeologist Christopher Dunn documented and presented evidence that the Egyptians could not have made these.
The statue of Ramses II is an epitome of sacred geometry and advanced mathematics.
And, there are lies not just about the archeology there is much more to it.
So, every individual thinks that Hitler escaped his bunker. However, it has recently been unfurled by the FBI that he lived into his 70s in Argentina. In the year 1999 it was the US Government found guilty of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. So, do not just believe in history blind folded. There is a lot which remains to be explored and questioned.
How NASA's Mission to 'Touch the Sun' May Reveal Clues About Alien Worlds
How NASA's Mission to 'Touch the Sun' May Reveal Clues About Alien Worlds

NASA's new mission to the sun may reveal clues about alien worlds, too.
Every day, we rely on the sun for warmth and light, but we need Earth's atmosphere to protect us from our star's harsh conditions — and because in the end our sun is just another star, the same could be true of life on other worlds, planetary scientists told Space.com.
That means studying our sun up close could teach us about planets in distant solar systems as well. And a NASA mission may soon begin to do just that: This fall, the Parker Solar Probe, which launched in August, will start investigating how our star works. Exoplanet scientists are watching the mission to see what data it might offer them about exotic worlds. [Launch Photos! NASA's Parker Solar Probe Blasts Off to the Sun]
"We can learn so much from our sun and particularly for other sun-like stars," Evgenya Shkolnik, an astrophysicist and planetary scientist at Arizona State University, told Space.com. In particular, she wants a better sense of the high-energy particles and photons, or particles of light, stars produce. "It's critically important to understand all these things for exoplanet hosts, for sure," she said.
We know about the dangers of those particles and photons from our own experiences here on Earth, where the planet's atmosphere buffers us from the worst side effects of living near the sun: Only with extreme sunbathing do we absorb enough ultraviolet radiation to damage the DNA inside our cells enough to potentially kill us with cancer, and only during the most extreme solar outbursts, called coronal mass ejections, do its highly charged particles overwhelm Earth's magnetic field and thus interfere with our technology.
If an exoplanet is less fortunate in its natural protections or in its star's temperament, those high-energy particles and photons could be the deciding factors in an exoplanet's habitability, said Ravi Kopparapu, a planetary scientist at NASA. Even if a planet develops an atmosphere, if it's bombarded by too many stellar particles, that barrage can destroy the atmosphere. "They can strip away the atmosphere and then make the planet uninhabitable," Kopparapu told Space.com.
But both types of high-energy outflow are incredibly difficult to study at a distance — hence the appeal of piggybacking on the Parker Solar Probe.
The spacecraft's path through the sun's broiling outer atmosphere will allow it to get within 4 million miles (6 million kilometers) from what we consider the sun's surface — about the same distance many exoplanets are from their stars, Shkolnik said. In fact, in her lectures about these planets, she edits images of the solar eclipse and planet depictions to convey the incredible environment around these planets.
"I show the corona and put fake exoplanets in there because it is amazing to think that these planets are actually streaming through their suns' coronae," Shkolnik said. Many of those planets are what scientists have dubbed "hot Jupiters" and are uninhabitably gaseous themselves — but that might not be the end of the story.
"There is talk of whether or not moons around these hot Jupiters could be habitable," Shkolnik said. (Scientists haven't discovered any such moons yet, but they're still honing their ability to spot planets, which are much larger.) "That's not a crazy thought, because we think that the moons of Jupiter and Saturn might be places to look for life in our solar system," Shkolnik said.
So Shkolnik is watching for the data Earth's solar probe will beam home beginning later this year, in hopes of using it to isolate information about habitability near at least other sun-like stars. "I won't know how hard or easy that analysis will be until I see the data," she said. [The 7 Earth-Sized Planets of TRAPPIST-1 in Pictures]
And high-energy radiation like ultraviolet light doesn't just potentially destroy ill-shielded life; it can also trick scientists into thinking someplace is more lively than it really is. That's because ultraviolet radiation can break down water and create oxygen, one of the key molecules scientists look for as a potential signature of life. Extrapolating data from the Parker Solar Probe may stop scientists from being fooled by these fake biosignatures, Kopparapu said.
Perhaps most valuable will be any understanding the spacecraft can give us of how the sun's dynamics are shaped by its magnetic field, which seems to guide much of what happens in and around a star.
"Somehow, it's all related to the sun's magnetic field," Shkolnik said. "Even if we don't have the details, we know that much."

The Indian Space Research Organisation showed off the spacesuit it has designed in-house for its first human space missions at an event held on Sept. 6.
The display comes weeks after the country announced an ambitious timeline to launch its first crewed mission by 2022 in time to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the country's independence. The human-spaceflight program is called Gaganyaan and will build on the legacy of India's first astronaut, Rakesh Sharma, who flew in 1984. But this time, India is developing every aspect of the program, which means tackling problems like spacesuit design. [The Evolution of the Spacesuit in Photos]
According to reports by Indian news publications, the agency has already manufactured two of the bright-orange suits and will build a third before crewed flights begin. During the presentation last week, a suit was displayed with text explaining that it is made of four layers and weighs less than 11 lbs. (5 kilograms).
The spacesuits, which have been in the works for two years, are each equipped with an oxygen cylinder that can support an astronaut for an hour, local reports added.
The first crewed flight in the program is expected to last between five and seven days and carry three astronauts into orbit.
NASA Plans to Build a Moon-Orbiting Space Station: Here's What You Should Know
NASA Plans to Build a Moon-Orbiting Space Station: Here's What You Should Know
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
NASA is planning a deep-space habitat around the moon called the Lunar Orbiting Platform Gateway, as the next destination for astronauts. The cis-lunar space station will be a waypoint for future missions to the moon and beyond.

You've probably heard about the moon-orbiting space station that NASA plans to start building in the next half-decade.
This outpost, known as the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway, will help humanity extend its footprint out into deep space and also enable a variety of interesting scientific and commercial activities on and around the moon, NASA officials have said.
But maybe you're a little hazy on the details of the Gateway (a much nicer shorthand than the acronym LOP-G) — what it will look like, for example, or where exactly it will set up shop. If so, the following primer on the basics of this planned deep-space station should help. [21 Most Marvelous Moon Missions of All Time]
A small outpost
NASA plans to build and visit the Gateway using the agency's Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket and Orion deep-space capsule, both of which are still in development.
The first piece of the 55-ton (50 metric tons) outpost, its power and propulsion element (PPE), is currently scheduled to lift off in 2022. Other key components, such as a robotic arm, a crew habitat module and an airlock, will follow in relatively short order, if all goes according to plan. The Gateway could be ready to accommodate astronauts by the mid-2020s, NASA officials have said.
Those crewmembers won't have nearly as much room to roam as they do on the 440-ton (400 metric tons), Earth-orbiting International Space Station (ISS). As currently envisioned, the Gateway will feature a minimum of 1,942 cubic feet (55 cubic meters) of habitable volume, compared to the 13,696 cubic feet (388 cubic m) on the ISS.
The ISS typically houses six crewmembers at a time, who serve missions of five to six months apiece. And these missions overlap; rotating international crews have occupied the ISS continuously lsince November of 2000.

The Gateway, however, will support a maximum of four crewmembers at a time, and they will be more or less isolated, living and working at the station for 30- to 90-day stints. Because getting NASA astronauts out to lunar orbit will require expensive (and, therefore, relatively infrequent) SLS-Orion launches, the Gateway will likely be uninhabited for most of the year — unless other users want to take advantage of the outpost, that is.
"It doesn't have to be U.S. crew. We're trying to use interoperability standards for both the docking, power, avionics, a lot of other systems," John Guidi, deputy director of the Advanced Exploration Systems division of NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, said in June during a presentation with the space agency's Future In-Space Operations (FISO) working group.
"The attempt there is to open up the ability for other nations, other companies, to dock," Guidi added. "They would have to bring their own resources. We won't have food, water, etc. available for everybody. We're just planning enough for our missions. But that is a capability we want to have in this Gateway."
There will be lots for Gateway dwellers to do. They could operate rovers on the lunar surface with virtually no commanding latency, for example, or take sorties down there themselves. And they'll doubtless conduct lots of scientific experiments aboard the outpost, just as ISS crewmembers do today. (Meanwhile, doctors and mission planners will be carefully monitoring how these astronauts cope mentally and physiologically with their deep-space environment.) [Moon Base Visions: How to Build a Lunar Colony (Photos)]
But the outpost will host and support research year-round, no matter how often astronauts visit, NASA officials have said. The agency envisions affixing a variety of scientific gear to both the interior and the exterior of the mini-station, and many of these devices will gather data autonomously.
NASA has big plans for the Lunar Orbiting Platform-Gateway, a small, moon-orbiting space station that the agency aims to start building in 2022.

A jumping-off point
The Gateway will, of course, be much more distant from Earth's surface than the ISS, which circles a mere 250 miles (400 kilometers) above our planet.
NASA plans to assemble the Gateway in a highly elliptical "near-rectilinear halo orbit," which will bring the outpost within 930 miles (1,500 km) of the lunar surface at closest approach and as far away as 43,500 miles (70,000 km). (Reminder, the moon lies about 238,900 miles, or 384,400 km, from Earth on average.)
This six-day orbit will keep the Gateway out of the moon's shadow at all times, permitting constant communication with Earth, NASA officials have said. And with this orbit, the outpost can serve as a jumping-off point, both for landers headed down to the lunar surface and for vehicles venturing out into deep space.
"We eventually want to go to Mars, and the systems that are going to take crew to Mars and back are going to be fairly large — very large," Guidi said.
As much as possible, NASA wants to avoid having to haul this heavy gear out of Earth's deep gravity well, to make Red Planet treks more efficient and cost-effective, Guidi added. And the Gateway should be able to help with that.
"So, we're thinking if we can use the SLS-Orion to take us to cislunar space, [in other words, to] go to the Gateway, we can move the Gateway a little bit in orbit — and the PPE is capable of doing that — dock to Mars-type transportation-habitation systems and send them off," Guidi said. Then, when those craft return, they can "again rely on SLS-Orion to make the link between the lunar environment and home," he said.
Step by step
The ball is already rolling on Gateway hardware design. For example, NASA expects to announce the prime contractor for the PPE in March of next year.
And five different companies — Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Bigelow Aerospace, Boeing and Sierra Nevada Corp. — are scheduled to deliver "ground prototypes" of their proposed habitat modules for testing sometime next year. (NASA is also negotiating with a sixth potential habitat-module contractor, NanoRacks, agency officials have said.)
If everything works out, NASA astronauts could set foot on the moon before the end of the 2020s, Guidi said. This goal is in keeping with President Donald Trump's Space Policy Directive 1, which instructs the agency to set up a long-term, sustainable outpost on the lunar surface.
That same directive also makes clear, however, that humanity's push out into the solar system should not end at the moon.
"Mars is still important. It's still the long-term goal," Guidi said. "But the near-term focus is more about our neighbor in cislunar space."
Scientists are pushing the limits of 3D printing with these shape-shifting materials
Scientists are pushing the limits of 3D printing with these shape-shifting materials
The tech could be used to create magnetically controlled implants or "soft robots."

MIT researchers are developing 3D-printed materials that can change their shape in response to changes in magnetic fields.

Three-dimensional printing has been used to create all sorts of things, from car parts and experimental rocket engines to entire houses. Now scientists at MIT have found a way to 3D print objects that can change shape almost instantaneously in response to magnetic fields.
So far the researchers have created a few demonstration objects with the new technology, which uses plastic “3D ink” infused with tiny iron particles and an electromagnet-equipped printing nozzle. These include a plastic sheet that folds and unfolds, a star-shaped object that can catch a ball and a six-pointed structure that scrunches up and crawls like a spider.
But the researchers see broad applications for small shape-changing devices — what some call "soft robots" — especially in medicine.
“You can imagine this technology being used in minimally invasive surgeries,” said Xuanhe Zhao, a professor of engineering at MIT and a member of the team that developed the 3D-printed shape-shifting technology. “A self-steering catheter inside a blood vessel, for example — now you can use external magnetic fields to accurately steer the catheter.”
Other uses could include magnetically controlled implants to control the flow of blood, and devices that could be guided by magnet through the body — to take pictures, clear a blockage or deliver drugs to a specific location, Zhao said.
The technology might one day make it possible to 3D print entire soft robots, Zhao said. These could have information stored as magnetic data directly inside their structural materials, instead of needing additional electronics.
“The MIT soft robotics development is very cool ... It's an important step in terms of being able to control materials,” said Jim McGuffin-Cawley, an engineering and materials science professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, who was not involved with the MIT project. He noted that the technology allows researchers to make precise changes to the shape-shifting materials by using magnetic fields to control very small moving parts inside the materials themselves.
MIT is releasing free software and a recipe for its magnetic ink so that other scientists around the world can use the technology and print their own shape-shifting materials, Zhao said.
“With these three components they can design their own untethered, fast-transforming soft robots,” he said. “We hope this method can find very important applications in the fields of soft robotics [and] materials.”

SETI Neural Networks Spot Dozens Of New Mysterious Signals Emanating From Distant Galaxy
SETI Neural Networks Spot Dozens Of New Mysterious Signals Emanating From Distant Galaxy
The perennial optimists at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI, have joined the rest of the world in deploying AI to help manage huge data sets — and their efforts almost instantly bore fruit. Seventy-two new “fast radio bursts” from a mysteriously noisy galaxy 3 billion miles away were discovered in previously analyzed data by using a custom machine learning model.
To be clear, this isn’t Morse code or encrypted instructions to build a teleporter, à la Contact, or at least not that we know of. But these fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are poorly understood and may very well represent, at the very least, some hitherto unobserved cosmic phenomenon. FRB 121102 is the only stellar object known to give off the signals regularly, and so is the target of continued observation.
The data comes from the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia (above), which was pointed toward this source of fast and bright (hence the name) bursts for five hours in August of 2017. Believe it or not, that five-hour session yielded 400 terabytes of transmission data.
Initial “standard” algorithms identified 21 FRBs, all happening in one hour’s worth of the observations. But Gerry Zhang, a graduate student at UC Berkeley and part of the Breakthrough Listen project, created a convolutional neural network system that would theoretically scour the data set more effectively. Sure enough, the machine learning model picked out 72 more FRBs in the same period.

That’s quite an improvement, though it’s worth noting that without manual and traditional methods to find an initial set of interesting data, we would have little with which to train such neural networks. They’re complementary tools; one is not necessarily succeeding the other.
The paper on the discoveries, co-authored by Cal postdoc Vishal Gajjar, is due to be published in the Astrophysical Journal. Breakthrough Listen is one of the initiatives funded by billionaires Yuri and Julia Milner, of mail.ru and DST fame. The organization posted its own press release for the work.
The new data suggests that the signals are not being received in any kind of pattern we can determine, at least no pattern longer than 10 milliseconds. That may sound discouraging, but it’s just as important to rule things out as it is to find something new.
“Gerry’s work is exciting not just because it helps us understand the dynamic behavior of FRBs in more detail, but also because of the promise it shows for using machine learning to detect signals missed by classical algorithms,” explained Berkeley’s Andrew Siemion, who leads the SETI research center there and is principal investigator for Breakthrough Listen.
And if we’re being imaginative, there’s no reason some hyper-advanced civilization couldn’t cram a bunch of interesting info into such short bursts, or use a pattern we haven’t yet grokked. We don’t know what we don’t know, after all.
Whatever the case, SETI and Breakthrough will continue to keep their antennas fastened on FRB 121102. Even if they don’t turn out to be alien SOS signals, it’s good solid science. You can keep up with the Berkeley SETI center’s work right here.
On Saturn’s small moon Enceladus, perpetual fountains of alien seawater launch all sorts of curious stuff into space: water, salt, silica, and even simple carbon-containing compounds fly into the void—many of which are ingredients for life as we know it.
Now, scientists working with data from a dead spacecraft have discovered something even more potentially intriguing: heavy organic compounds containing hundreds of atoms arranged in rings and chains. These are the most complex organic molecules uncovered so far at Enceladus, and—sorry, Europa—they may make the moon the most promising place in our solar system to search for life beyond Earth.
“What we know today is telling us that Enceladus is an outstanding target to go look for life, and there may be microbes living in that ocean today,” says Cornell University’s Jonathan Lunine.
SATURN 101
How did the rings around Saturn form? How many moons does the planet have? See stunning NASA images of the gas giant studied by Christian Huygens and Giovanni Cassini.
Discovered by the Saturn-exploring Cassini spacecraft in late 2005, icy jets erupting from Enceladus were a surprise to most scientists. Blasting through fissures in the south polar region, the jets contain seawater from a global ocean locked beneath the moon’s icy shell. Over the years, scientists have been able to study those jets and calculate the salinity and acidity of the ocean, identify ejected organic compounds such as methane, and determine that hydrothermal vents in the seafloor are providing heat and energy.
But these newly detected complex molecules spin that story forward and raise questions about whether they’re the work of lifeless chemistry or a sign pointing toward alien life.
“We cannot decide this hundred-million-dollar question, but it certainly shows that something is going on there, that complex organic chemistry is happening and that we can probe it from space,” says Frank Postberg of the University of Heidelberg, lead author on the paper describing the results today in the journal Nature.
“The moon freely delivers its organic inventory at high concentrations to the Cassini spacecraft. That’s just an amazing finding.”

That includes information Cassini gathered while flying near the planet’s E ring. Thin and diaphanous, this ribbon is formed by dust and ice ejected by Enceladus. As Cassini skirted the E ring’s edge, some of its particles collided with an onboard instrument designed specifically to study cosmic dust and return information about its ingredients.
Postberg and his colleagues decided to look at data gathered during E ring flybys between 2004 and 2008, when the instrument was least contaminated by interplanetary dust from elsewhere in the solar system. Over 15 separate intervals, the spacecraft collected and studied about ten thousand dust particles. And in roughly one percent of those, Postberg and his colleagues identified the signatures of complex organic compounds.
“It was kind of a needle in a haystack problem,” he says.
Clinging to grains of water ice ejected by Enceladus, these heavy, carbon-containing molecules had been launched into space, just waiting for Cassini to come by and collect them upon impact. What’s more, the large compounds are likely fragments of even larger parent molecules that could weigh thousands of atomic mass units, Postberg says.
Floating Film
It’s the first time such heavy organics have been identified at Enceladus. Previously, Cassini detected lighter, gassy molecules such as methane and ethane, which contain one or two carbon atoms and a smattering of hydrogens; these molecules weigh in at around 15 atomic mass units.
But the newly detected molecules are as heavy as 200 atomic mass units and comprise anywhere between seven and 15 carbon atoms, handfuls of hydrogens, as well as nitrogen and oxygen.
“While we have found large molecules outside of Earth before, this is the first time they have been detected emerging from a liquid water ocean,” says Morgan Cable of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who looks for life in improbable places on Earth. (Recently, scientists also found complex organics on cold, dry Mars.)
“Many large organic molecules are not stable in liquid water for extended periods of time, so one of the next questions to ask is, where are these organic molecules coming from?”
Postberg and his colleagues think it’s likely that newly formed heavy organics rise to the top of the moon’s buried ocean and end up floating in a layer near areas where water erupts from fissures at the south pole. There, they stick to ice grains that are carried into space by bubbles rising from the seafloor to the surface.
“Our oceans have a thin film of organic molecules floating on top—think 'oil slick' but made up of life and its byproducts—that covers the ocean to a significant extent,” Cable says. “Now it seems that Enceladus has this too. But is it also made by life?”
Lying in Wait
Though tantalizing, this soup of carbon-containing riches is not an indication of life yet. Many processes could have crafted such structures in the absence of extraterrestrial metabolisms.
“Are they being made by abiotic processing at the bottom of the ocean, where the rock and water meet, or are they the waste products of microbes? That’s the question, with a capital Q,” Lunine says.
Fundamentally, the molecular soup tells scientists that the environment beneath Enceladus’s icy shell is capable of extremely complex chemistries. Whether those reactions are completely independent of life and fueled simply by chemistry and geology, are part of a prebiotic mix from which life could one day emerge, are currently building alien microbes, or are perhaps the waste products of extraterrestrial lifeforms already living in the Enceladian sea is still unknown.

“We should try to go back to Enceladus as soon as we can,” Lunine says. “It’s waiting for us. It’s not going anywhere, and think of all that microbial poo that could be spewed out into space and analyzed today.”
The instruments needed to answer these questions already exist—all it takes is a return trip. One such mission, designed by Lunine and his colleagues and called the Enceladus Life Finder, could have flown in the near future. But NASA declined to fund the project.
Soon, though, a fleet of spacecraft will be sent to explore another icy ocean world: Europa, which orbits Jupiter. Scientists don’t yet know what kinds of chemistry take place in that alien sea, or if the ingredients needed for life as we know it are similarly abundant.
For now, Enceladus will have to wait. And so will scientists, who will continue hoping that maybe someday soon, they won’t need to mine archival data to answer one of humanity’s most pressing questions, and instead coax this promising astrobiological target into revealing its secrets in real time.
Ruimteobservatorium dat middelpunt is van buitenaards complot vraagt om geduld. Ondertussen zijn webcams van deze andere observatoria uitgeschakeld
Ruimteobservatorium dat middelpunt is van buitenaards complot vraagt om geduld. Ondertussen zijn webcams van deze andere observatoria uitgeschakeld
Een ruimteobservatorium dat het middelpunt is van complottheorieën over aliens en dat nog steeds gesloten is, heeft mensen gevraagd om ‘geduld’ te hebben.
Het Sunspot Solar Observatory in Sunspot in New Mexico trok de aandacht toen het werd gesloten door FBI-agenten, die naar verluidt aankwamen in mysterieuze Blackhawk-helikopters.
Dit leidde tot suggesties dat het observatorium iets vreemds had ontdekt, zoals buitenaardsen of UFO’s.
Veiligheidsprobleem
Het observatorium is slechts een kleine 200 kilometer verwijderd van de plek waar het Roswellincident plaatsvond.
De FBI wilde alleen kwijt dat het gebouw was ontruimd vanwege een ‘veiligheidsprobleem’.
In de dagen erna liet de lokale sheriff weten dat hij geen idee heeft wat er aan de hand is. Ondertussen blijft het gebouw dicht.
Geheim
De National Solar Observatory (NSO), die het ruimteobservatorium beheert, schreef op Facebook dat het gebouw uit voorzorg tijdelijk is ontruimd.
Veel Facebookgebruikers vroegen waarom de NSO de feiten geheim blijft houden. Velen hadden het over complottheorieën over aliens of speculeerden dat er iets vreemds aan de hand is met de zon.
“Waarom vertellen jullie ons niet gewoon wat er aan de hand is?” schreef iemand. “De FBI moet eerlijk zijn.”
Opvallend is dat ook andere zonne- en ruimtecamera’s buiten werking zijn, aldus Zero Hedge. Het gaat daarbij om:
Een sterrenwacht of observatorium is een instituut van waaruit sterren en andere hemellichamen worden bekeken en bestudeerd. Er wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen professionele sterrenwachten en volks- of publiekssterrenwachten. In Amerika is een observatorium (National Solar Observatory) dat zich uitsluitend bezighoudt met het bestuderen van de zon. De hoofdvestiging hiervan bevindt zich in Boulder, Colorado, en er zijn een tweetal andere vestigingen waarvan er één zich bevindt in de plaats Sunspot in New Mexico en de andere in Kitt Peak in Arizona.
Nu was er iets bijzonders aan de hand bij het observatorium in Sunspot vorige week.
Sinds die tijd is er een storm aan speculaties losgebarsten over wat nu wel niet de reden is van het , in grote haast, sluiten van dit obsevatorium.
Sheriff Benny House vertelde dat de FBI razendsnel te werk ging, compleet met een Black Hawkhelikopter en teams met mensen die bezig waren met antennes en dergelijke. Hij vertelde geen flauw idee te hebben waarom de FBI zo snel hierbij werd betrokken.
Het feit dat de FBI zo snel kwam, betekent dat de tijdfactor in dit hele verhaal belangrijk is. De FBI werd erbij gehaald om te zorgen dat het observatorium heel snel werd gesloten, zodat niemand nog dingen vanuit de gebouwen kon communiceren met de buitenwereld. Ze hebben ook de gebouwen uitgekamd om te zorgen dat er geen verborgen USB sticks of iets dergelijks achterbleven waardoor men misschien een indicatie zou kunnen krijgen over de reden van de sluiting.
Eén van de theorieën die de ronde doen is dat men door het observeren van de zon heeft ontdekt dat we een soort echte mini ijstijd tegemoet gaan en dat dit iets is, dat niet in het officiële verhaal past en dat men er daarom alles aan heeft gedaan om alle bewijsmateriaal daar weg te halen. Het is tenslotte een observatorium dat zich bezighoudt met de zon, dus wat het ook is, grote kans dat het iets te maken heeft met de zon.
In de volgende video zie je hoe een vader en zoon voorbij de afzetting gaan en het terrein opwandelen.
Wat ze zien is verbazingwekkend. Auto’s staan overal alsof ze plotseling in de steek zijn gelaten, deuren van de gebouwen zijn open en je kunt zo naar binnen lopen. Ook uit de beelden blijkt dat mensen daar in grote haast zijn vertrokken.
En plots zien ze in een prullenbak een DVD van het X-Files spel Unrestricted Access liggen.
Terwijl ze verder rondlopen, ruiken ze een vreemde lucht en krijgen een beetje beklemmend gevoel. Het doet allemaal onwerkelijk aan, alsof je rondloopt in een spookstad.
Ook Tyler van Secureteam is nog druk aan het speculeren over wat het zou kunnen zijn en in zijn video hieronder zie je beelden van het complex die gemaakt zijn vanuit een drone. Op een gegeven moment heeft Tyler het over twee mannen die hij ziet lopen en vraagt zich af welke lui dat wel niet zullen zijn en of ze misschien gewapend zijn.
Die twee zijn waarschijnlijk de twee mannen uit de video hierboven, want die horen op een gegeven moment een drone als ze daar lopen.
Kortom, verwarring alom en het mysterie blijft voorlopig voortduren.
