NASA Announces Spacecraft Flyby of Object Four Billion Miles from Earth

by Penny Starr 

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists held a “science chat” on their Facebook page on Wednesday outlining the “farthest planetary encounter in history” as the New Horizons spacecraft heads to the edge of the solar system to inspect a mysterious “object.”

The spacecraft will have a “close encounter” with the object just after midnight on Jan. 1, 2019. 

“We’re coming down on what is going to be a truly historic event,” said Mike Buckley, a public affairs specialist with the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland where the scientists manage the New Horizons mission.

“In just over 100 days the New Horizons spacecraft will add another chapter to its remarkable story with a flight past the Kuiper Belt object nicknamed ‘Ultima Thule,’” Buckley said. The new nickname for 2014 MU69 comes from medieval literature and refers to a distant, unknown world.

Ultima Thule is four billion miles away from Earth, having passed Pluto, the last target of the spacecraft’s flyby, in 2015. It’s located in a previously unknown part of the solar system, according to Alan Stern, New Horizons principal investigator, who took part in the chat from the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

He said the story started with the discovery of Pluto decades ago.

“Its discovery was the harbinger of our knowledge now that there’s a whole third zone to the solar system,” Stern said.

“We’re a billion miles beyond Pluto now traveling at 32,000 thousand miles per hour over 24/7 — on our way to the first flyby to an object out in the Kuiper Belt,” Stern said.

The New Horizons will be the first spacecraft to explore what scientists say is a sea of stars in a deep freeze in deep space.

The flyby will be three times closer to the Ultima Thule than it was to Pluto, an encounter that captured some stunning images of the dwarf planet and its moons.

Scientists compared the Kuiper Belt to an archeological dig because that part of space is like going back in time to when the solar system first formed.

They expressed excitement about the flyby, which will begin on Christmas Day and culminate on the first day of 2019.

Astronomers Discover A Planet Right Where Star Trek's Vulcan Would Be

Real-life “Planet Vulcan” discovered by astronomers.

The creators of Star Trek made the decision to base Spock’s home solar system around one that exists in real life- the triple star system that houses primary star 40 Eridani A. The star, also known as Keid or HD26965, has been revealed to possess at least one planet in orbit. The other two stars, Eridani B and C, have been dismissed as possessing any habitable planets due to the environmental hazards posed by the two suns, which include dangerous flares and the sterilization effects of a white dwarf. Eridani A, however, is thought to have a “habitable zone” where it is possible for a planet to support life.

40 Eridani A, The Real-Life Planet Vulcan

Characteristics of 40 Eridani A that are similar to our own sun have given rise to hopes that the planet in question may be host to lifeforms, in whatever shape they come, or at least have the potential to support life. While the planet is not quite in the habitable zone, the possibility of life has not been ruled out yet. It is double the size of Earth and has a much shorter year, lasting only 42 days. Like the planet Vulcan in the hit series Star Trek, the new planet will likely be fairly hot, due to its close proximity to its sun.

The find has been hailed as the first Earth-like planet of its size found by the Dharma Planet Survey, a project that is in the process of detecting and categorizing large Earth-like planets that may be of interest in future exploratory missions.

It was not caused by extraterrestrials. It was not caused by secret military operations. It was not caused by unusual sunspot activity or incoming asteroids. It was not caused by foreign hackers. Those were all possible reasons given since September 6th when the Sunspot Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, was mysteriously shut down and evacuated, along with some of the surrounding area, by the FBI, which kept local law enforcement in the dark while allowing surveillance by Blackhawk helicopters. It was a sight and a secret operation made for conspiracy theories and they flourished. In fact, they barely dissipated when the facility was reopened on September 17th with the vague explanation that there was a criminal investigation.

It turns out there was. When you hear the real reason, you may wish it was one of the others.

“According to a search warrant filed in U.S. District Court in Las Cruces, the FBI began investigating after a wireless signal at the observatory, located on Sacramento Peak in the Lincoln National Forest, accessed child porn multiple times since January. During an interview on Aug. 21, the facility’s chief observer told agents he had found a running laptop with child porn on it in an empty office several months before.”

The Albuquerque Journal had access to the search warrant and reports that someone whose job is identified as “chief observer” first believed that the laptop belonged to a research student but nothing was done because he was “distracted by an urgent matter within the facility.”

It gets worse.

Further investigatin determined the laptop actually belonged to a part-time janitor under a contract to the facility which gives him entry authorization and full access to all areas. After the laptop was secretly seized, the janitor began to act suspiciously, at first complaining about “missing some cleaning supplies.”

“(The janitor) had continued to look feverishly through the facility and continued to make comments about the lax security.”

Those comments were made to the chief observer, who became even more concerned, according to the search warrant, when the janitor predicted that the poor security would cause the facility to be “hit” – possibly by a serial killer who would “enter the facility and execute someone.”

News channel KTSM.com reports that, while the janitor is identified by name in the warrant as the main suspect, charges have not yet been filed. If that makes the returning employees, local residents and Sunspot law enforcement officials nervous, CBS Albuquerque affiliate KRQE reports that the observatory director and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, which runs the observatory, say there’s nothing to worry about.

“Given the significant amount of publicity the temporary closure has generated, and the consequent expectation of an unusual number of visitors to the site, we are temporarily engaging a security service while the facility returns to a normal working environment.”

Normal? Is anything normal anymore?

Eerie Ring of UFO Lights over Minnesota captured by several witnesses

A strange ring of lights like a flying saucer type has been spotted in the sky over Minnesota by several witnesses on different locations on September 14, 2018.

A couple drove home when they suddenly saw something strange above the road at Stillwater in the state of Minnesota.

The man and his girlfriend are absolutely convinced that it is not a reflection or something like that because after the object had been hanging over the road for about four minutes, it suddenly flew away with great speed.

They managed to capture two images of the UFO.

Another witness noticed the UFO above Shakopee Archery Range, Jackson Township, Minnesota and recorded the object, see below video.

No doubt it is the same object despite it has changed its color, but what is it?

White UFO Seen On Live NASA Space Station Cam, Sep 20, 2018, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Sept 20, 2018
Location of discovery: Earths orbit at space station

I was watching the NASA live space station cam looking for UFOs when I spotted this little guy. A white disk moved over the space station. It was small so I'm sure NASA didn't notice it, otherwise they would have gone to blue screen to hide it. The UFO passes the space station, but at a great distance, as if it didn't want to be noticed by the astronauts.

PROJECT BLUE BOOK: THE STUNNING TRUE CASES BEHIND HISTORY'S NEW UFO SHOW - IGN FIRST

 

The truth is out there, and it's declassified.

BY LAURA PRUDOM All September long, IGN is highlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2018-2019 season. Today, we're delving into the mysterious world of Project Blue Book, executive produced by Robert Zemeckis. The sci-fi drama tells the story of Dr. Allen Hynek, a genius college professor recruited by the U.S. Air Force to spearhead the titular operation that researched thousands of real-life cases involving Unidentified Flying Objects, many of which were never solved. The series premieres this winter on History.

It's often said that truth is stranger than fiction, but nowhere is that more evident than in History Channel's new scripted drama series Project Blue Book, based on the real-life, previously classified government investigations into UFOs that took place during the 1950s and '60s.

The show stars Game of Thrones alum Aidan Gillen as Dr. Allen Hynek, an inquisitive but practical scientist who became one of the world's leading ufologists thanks to what he encountered while working on the top-secret government project.

Gillen admits that Hynek's real-life trajectory proved to be one of the most surprising and compelling aspects of the series for him. "For somebody who joined the US Air Force as a scientific advisor, to ultimately become the person who sets up the Center for UFO Studies, and a leading figure in that world, and still retain his credibility as a scientist... He wasn’t a quack who was convinced human beings were visited daily by little green men, you know? That’s really interesting," Gillen tells IGN.

"He started as a skeptic, and did not end as a skeptic. He was a very open-minded scientist who would never take an easy out and always thought logically. At the same time, he didn’t jump to explain things away in illogical ways, like, 'well these are definitely visitors from other planets.' In fact, he was quite wary of that kind of assumption. He wanted people to keep an open mind about the possibility that there was stuff there, but not be too quick to assume where it came from."

In the show, as in reality, Hynek is recruited by the Air Force to investigate inexplicable phenomena, but rather than seeking the truth, it soon becomes clear that the government is far more interested in providing palatable, mundane answers for these extraordinary encounters in an attempt to prevent mass hysteria. Thus, he's partnered up with Captain Michael Quinn (Michael Malarkey), a by-the-book military man who is initially happy to toe the party line without asking too many questions. Quinn is an amalgam of real-life characters, but was initially based on Edward J. Ruppelt, an Air Force Captain who oversaw Project Blue Book and its predecessor, Project Grudge.4

IGN has an exclusive first look at a scene from Project Blue Book's premiere, which sees Quinn insisting on a logical explanation for an unsettling close encounter, while Hynek maintains that he needs firsthand evidence in order to be convinced that a potential UFO is nothing more than a weather balloon. Check it out below:

Malarkey offers us some insight into what's going through his character's head in the pivotal scene. "I think he’s starting to realize that Hynek is not the kind of guy who’s just gonna be bossed around and be an underling, which he was kind of hoping for," he says. "And he’s kind of realizing, 'okay, this guy is brilliant, but this is going to be a problem if it continues like this. So, maybe I need to teach this guy a lesson, and show him just what we’re up against here and what we’re dealing with, so he can have a firsthand experience that this isn’t a game, this is life or death. If we stall, we’re holding back proceedings.' It’s the first time we see the conflict of interest, where Quinn’s going, 'we need to close the cases,' and Hynek’s going, 'well, we can’t close the cases if it’s not one hundred percent sure that that’s what happened.' And I’m like, 'you’re missing the point, buddy.' And that’s the first time we see that difference of motive for why they’re doing what they’re doing."

Adds Gillen, "It’s pretty important for Quinn to see that Hynek is game, or for Hynek to test Quinn - [although] he’s really testing himself. And as our story progresses, we will possibly see little shifts in that dynamic, and that relationship. And I don’t mean in that it’s an endless power play, or anything like that - it’s just them getting comfortable with each other, and inspiring each other to go further in their own ways to get to the truth. And ultimately, to find themselves as a team or a union that’s more powerful [together] than individually."

Despite Quinn's attempts to keep things moving and keep his superiors happy, Malarkey admits that teaming up with Hynek "appeals to parts of Quinn’s intellect as well. He’s been used to dealing with meatheads and people who are just barking orders. And it’s the first time he’s had to go in depth and chat back and forth with another person. He’s been used to working alone. And I think he’s realizing, as time goes by that, yeah, he actually is interested. He’s spent so long shoving off that part of him that would even allow himself to be interested, and once that door is opened, he starts seeing a lot more of the subtextual things that are going on in the chain of command. And starting to get a little upset about being left in the dark about all that stuff."

While the show takes some artistic liberties in adapting Hynek's story, Project Blue Book truly is based on real-life reports and investigations into UFOs, many of which were classified up until a few years ago. There were approximately 12,000 cases reported during that period, and while many sightings did have earthbound answers, there are still 700 cases that are unexplained to this day - something that Malarkey admits helped convince him that there may indeed be other life out there in the universe.

"What surprised me the most, I think, was the sheer quantity of stories, and especially ones that are unsolved... Seeing images, hearing actual accounts. I’m a hundred percent positive there’s a lot of fake stuff in there, but the fact that there’s that much stuff, some of the stories that are just so detailed and realistic … it just made me think about it a lot more than I ever have, and, I think, tip into the point of going, 'yeah, I know pretty much for sure that there’s something else going on.' I was a considerer, now I’m a believer."

Over the course of his research and filming the show, Malarkey says he discovered some pretty disturbing stories that made him think twice about possible explanations for these cases. "I think the most disconcerting thing for me is the amount of Air Force pilots who are up there in the skies, continuously seeing these things, and also mysteriously disappearing or being silenced or having issues or dying. There’s obviously cover-ups going on. And the fact that no one is telling us why it’s so serious to cover something like this up or what it is, it makes me believe that there is something huge to be covered up," he admits. "And also, working closely with the Air Force and learning nonverbals and how things work, this was a serious national crisis. It wasn’t just 'oh, let’s check out the flying saucers!' It's like, 'This is a crisis, we’re at breaking point. Potentially there’s gonna be anarchy and complete mayhem in the United States.'"

Sounds like a pretty good justification for a cover-up, right?

To delve deeper into the mysteries of Project Blue Book, keep an eye out for it this winter on History, with a premiere date to be announced soon.

Ovni : la vérité n’est pas forcément ailleurs

1er juillet 1977 à chabeuil : Envoûtés par Vénus

“Le 1er janvier 1977, entre 19 h 30 et 19 h 45, deux personnes en voiture ont leur attention attirée par un objet très lumineux. Ils décrivent d’abord une boule très brillante immobile de couleur blanche située à 150 mètres�environ d’altitude puis un engin émettant une lumière très intense. L’observation a duré� environ 10 minutes avant que l’objet ne décrive une courbe de 45° et disparaisse en direction du Sud. La cartographie du ciel établie a posteriori montre la présence de Vénus dans le secteur du ciel observé.”

30 août  1979 à lus-la-croix-haute : des champignons pourtant pas hallucinogènes

“Le 30 août 1979, un cultivateur se rend dans un champ de seigle et aperçoit au sol un rond brûlé�de 10,50 mètres de diamètre. Il remarque que l’herbe est plus verte à l’intérieur du cercle que dans la prairie avoisinante. Aux environs du 20 septembre, ce même témoin découvrira que des champignons du type rosés des prés ont poussé à l’intérieur et extérieur du cercle.”

25 juillet 1993 à Saint-Etienne-de-Lugdares : la piste à l’Ovni devient piste de danse

“Dans la nuit du 24 au 25 juillet 1993, entre 2 h 45 et 3 h 30, trois témoins observent un phénomène lumineux blanc qui se déplace en tournant sur lui-même avec de nombreux points lumineux. L’enquête montrera rapidement qu’il s’agit d’un projecteur multifacettes d’une discothèque voisine, dont la lumière se reflétant sur le plafond nuageux bas peut s’apercevoir de très loin.”

1er décembre 2004 à Annonay : Débris

“Le 1er décembre 2004, vers 19 h 30, un témoin observe, dans le ciel, une boule blanche fort lumineuse qui descend à très grande vitesse. Avant d’atteindre le sol, cette boule se transforme en un petit point rouge et disparaît. Un autre témoin observera �également ce phénomène qui lui fait penser à une fusée éclairante. Les témoins ont probablement observé une rentrée atmosphérique (météorite ou bout de satellite entrant dans l’atmosphère).”

19 juin 2007 à Nyons : une navette spatiale pas si extraterrestre

“Une personne rapporte son observation faite le 19 juin 2007 à 22 h 10. Depuis son balcon, le témoin a son attention attirée par le passage silencieux Nord-Sud d’un phénomène très lumineux suivi de près par un second au volume beaucoup plus important. L’ensemble se déplace à vitesse constante et disparaît derrière une colline dans une trajectoire descendante. Un passage de la station spatiale internationale (ISS), accompagné de la navette qui venait de se séparer de la station, a eu lieu ce jour-là.”

Ceci est un… avion.

“Le 26 octobre 2011, vers 20 h 30, un témoin observe dans le ciel (région de la constellation du Verseau) une étoile extrêmement brillante. Le témoin s’étonne de constater que l’intensité lumineuse diminue progressivement pour finir en un tout petit point dans le ciel. L’observation fait penser à un avion vu de face, phare allumé, vu à une distance de plus de 10 km (qui rend les feux vert et rouge invisibles) et qui aurait changé de direction.”

Surrey Space Centre

by Kristin Houser

NASA/NANORACKS

Image captionThe RemoveDebris is a demonstration satellite that was launched from the space station in June

JUNKY SKIES

If aliens ever visit our planet, their first impression could be that Earthlings are a messy bunch: There’s an estimated 7,500 tonnes worth of discarded satellites, rocket parts, and other debris currently floating in our planet’s orbit.

Now, efforts are underway to clean it up. One such effort: RemoveDEBRIS. In April, the team out of Surrey Space Centre (SSC) sent its RemoveDEBRIS satellite to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft; on Sunday the satellite launched from the ISS to demonstrate one of several debris-wrangling technologies.

The short sequence shows a small, shoebox-sized object tumbling end over end about 6-8m in front of the University of Surrey spacecraft.

Suddenly, a bright web, fired from the satellite, comes into view. It extends outwards and smothers the box.

"It worked just as we hoped it would," said Prof Guglielmo Aglietti, director of the Surrey Space Centre.

"The target was spinning like you would expect an uncooperative piece of junk to behave, but you can see clearly that the net captures it, and we're very happy with the way the experiment went."

• Big harpoon is 'solution to space junk'
• UK 'space drones' look to Proton ride
• Old satellites will need 'rapid disposal'

AIRBUS

If this were a real capture, the net would be tethered to the deploying satellite, which would then tug the junk out of the sky.

As this was just a demonstration, the net and the box (which was actually pushed out from RemoveDebris to act as a target) will be allowed to fall to Earth on their own. Their low altitude means it should take only a couple of months before they burn up in the atmosphere.

There has been much talk about the need to clean up space, but the Surrey satellite is the first to try out practical solutions.

Shortly, RemoveDebris will test a new camera system to track space junk - again, on a target it has brought along for the experiment.

Later, perhaps early in the New Year, there will be a demonstration of a harpoon that can snare junk. And finally, RemoveDebris will deploy a large membrane - what is termed a "drag sail", which will brush against the high atmosphere and pull the whole mission into a destructive dive towards the planet.

There are now millions of discarded pieces of metal and other materials in orbit - everything from old rocket segments to accidentally dropped astronaut tools, even flecks of paint.

The fear is that if we do not soon start taking this litter out of the sky, it will become a significant threat to active satellites.

Alastair Wayman is an engineer with the aerospace giant Airbus, which is also involved in the RemoveDebris project.

"If there are collisions, as there have been previously, then they will create lots of space debris. That debris then collides with more spacecraft, and you get even more space debris. It's a kind of snowball effect," he told BBC News.

The issue of space junk is particularly pressing because a number of companies are in the planning stages of launching thousands of new satellites.

Already there are calls for a tough new approach to licensing these spacecraft that would demand operators be able to bring down rapidly any of their hardware that fails in orbit.

The miniature harpoon to be tested on the mission

DEBRIS DEMO

For this demo, the satellite released a shoebox-sized object to act as its target, then fired a spider-like web that wrapped around the box.

“It worked just as we hoped it would,” SSC Director Guglielmo Aglietti told BBC News. “The target was spinning like you would expect an uncooperative piece of junk to behave, but you can see clearly that the net captures it, and we’re very happy with the way the experiment went.”

In a full-scale version of the technology, the net will remain tethered to the RemoveDEBRIS satellite so it could pull the captured junk out of the sky when it dives toward the Earth at the end of its mission.

But since this was just a demonstration, both the box and the net will simply burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere within the next couple of months. Had the demo occurred higher up in the atmosphere, though, both would have continued to orbit the planet along with the rest of the space junk.

TRASHTOR BEAM

In 2019, the RemoveDEBRIS satellite will demonstrate another technology — a harpoon that snares space junk. Russian scientists are also building a gigantic space laser to zap junk out of the sky, and NASA is working on a large, flat sheet it hopes to use to envelop debris.

And, really, we have no time to waste. This debris already threatens the rockets and satellites already in commission. More cluttered space could make it difficult to launch new spacecraft. If that happens, we might be stuck hoping aliens do find us — after all, we won’t be able to go out hunting for them.

IS ER NOG IEMAND DIE HET SPROOKJE VAN DE PIRAMIDEN GELOOFT ? ( VIDEO )

Op school wordt ons geleerd dat de piramiden van Gizeh zo rond 2.500 voor Christus zijn gebouwd. 

Ieder normaal logisch denkend mens zal tot de conclusie komen dat dit een onmogelijkheid is, gezien de mathematische precisie waarmee deze zijn gebouwd, het enorme gewicht van de stenen en de, volgens de historici, gebrekkige gereedschappen uit die tijd. 

Het volgende is wat in de Wikipedia staat over de piramiden van Gizeh: 

De Piramiden van Gizeh in Egypte behoren tot de bekendste en oudste bouwwerken van de mensheid. De piramiden zijn tevens de bekendste van de Egyptische piramiden. Ze bevinden zich ongeveer acht kilometer ten zuidwesten van de stad Gizeh. 

De piramiden werden gebouwd tijdens de vierde dynastie (tussen circa 2551 en 2472 v.Chr.) en zijn dankzij hun zeer stabiele constructie goed bewaard gebleven. 

Deze piramiden zouden dus gebouwd zijn in een tijd waarin in ons land het volgende gebeurde: 

Even voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog werden ten zuiden van Buurse in het Zendvelderveld interessante vondsten gedaan: twintig scherven van handgevormd aardewerk, acht stukken bewerkt vuursteen en een gedeelte van een stenen bijl. De vondsten wijzen op een prehistorische nederzetting die daar moet hebben gelegen. Twee van de scherven zijn versierd met een visgraatmotief. Deze versiering maakt het mogelijk om de vondsten nauwkeuriger te dateren, omdat elk tijdperk zijn eigen materialen, vormen en versieringen kent. 

De versierde scherven uit het Zendvelderveld horen bij het aardewerk van wat archeologen de Enkelgrafcultuur noemen. Dit volk van boeren leefde aan het eind van de nieuwe steentijd (het neolithicum), tussen ongeveer 2900 en 2500 v. Christus. Een paar families woonden in een kleine nederzetting van niet meer dan enkele boerderijen op nog geen kilometer van de huidige Duitse grens. 

We praten letterlijk over het stenen tijdperk. Misschien waren ze in Egypte iets verder gevorderd, maar toch, het gaat over volkeren op de rand van of net uit het stenen tijdperk. Neem een kwartier de tijd om de volgende video te bekijken en daarna zal je absoluut tot de conclusie komen dat deze piramiden niet door de Egyptenaren gebouwd kunnen zijn rond 2.500 voor Christus. 

De redenen waarom dit zo is, zijn overweldigend en je vraagt je af hoe een zichzelf respecterende wetenschapper kan vasthouden aan het sprookjesverhaal. 
 
Er is dan ook maar één antwoord mogelijk op de vraag waarom wij en onze kinderen de onzin over de piramiden krijgen voorgeschoteld. 

De reden is dat wij onze werkelijke geschiedenis niet mogen kennen. Want, als die bij ons bekend zou zijn, dan vallen de huidige machtsstructuren zoals religies met donderend geraas ineen en gaan mensen ineens zelf nadenken. 

Het zou het einde betekenen van de programmering van de bevolking, want niemand zou nog een woord geloven van wat ze wordt voorgespiegeld. De mens zou in opstand komen en zou opnieuw contact willen met de verre voorouders. 

Daarom is het grootste gevaar voor de machthebbers het ontdekken van onze werkelijke geschiedenis, want dat zou onmiddellijk het het einde van hun heerschappij inluiden. 

Maak vandaag een begin met het zelf nadenken. Je zult merken dat wanneer je dat eenmaal doet, je veel beter bent dan je ooit had kunnen vermoeden en dingen ineens logischer zijn. 

Sloop de machtsbolwerken door met nadenken te beginnen, de rest volgt vanzelf.

What (or who) created Siberia's 'Eagle's Nest'? A meteorite, a nuke or gulag inmates? Scientists baffled

• The site in Irkutsk, Siberia, was discovered in 1949 by a geologist
• Scientists now think the Patomskiy crater was created by a meteorite but no traces of material have been found to support the theory
  
• It is thought to be 250 years old and changes shape constantly 
  

By SARAH GRIFFITHS

When one geologist stumbled across a massive mound 65 years ago, he had no idea his discovery would spark one of the world’s strangest scientific mysteries.

The site in Irkutsk, Siberia was discovered in 1949 and is a huge convex cone with a funnel-shaped recess and a rounded hill in the middle, which looks a little like an eagle’s nest with an egg nestled inside it.

The origin of the Patomskiy crater has baffled scientists for decades and theories for its existence have ranged from a nuclear blast to a secret gulag mine and even a meteorite strike.

The site in Irkutsk, Siberia was discovered in 1949 and is a huge convex cone with a funnel-shaped recess and a rounded hill in the middle, which looks a little like an eagle's nest with an egg nestled inside it

The current thinking is that the site was indeed created by a meteorite strike, but no evidence has been found to support the theory.

The cone is 80metres tall and has a diameter of 150metres at its widest. The depth of the inner circle ditch is around 10metres.

It was named Patomskiy after a nearby river and was discovered by a geologist called Vadim Kolpakov who tried and failed to arrange a scientific trip to examine the site, but numerous expeditions have taken place since and one last year collected samples.

Theories that the mound is a giant slagheap have been thrown out as there were not enough people living nearby when the crater is thought to have formed to create such a pile.

And there were never labour camps or gulags in the region.

Half a tonne of samples were taken from the site and removed by helicopter last year.

The samples led scientists to dismiss ideas of a uranium ore explosion as the background radiation at the site is low and no uranium has been found nearby either.

This left them with two main theories – one of a volcano and another of a meteorite.

However, the mysterious site has not given up any meteoritic material and the area is not thought to be volcanic. 

In fact there are no volcanoes within thousands of kilometres of the Patomskiy crater and it also seems to be relatively new.

The origin of the Patomsky crater has baffled scientists for decades and theories for its existence have ranged from a nuclear bomb blast, a secret Gulag mine and meteorite strike

The cone is 80metres tall and has a diameter of 150metres at its widest. The depth of the inner circle ditch is around 10metres

Scientists thought the crater was only between 100 and 500 years old and could be the result of the Tunguska meteorite, which fell in the Krasnoyarsk region in 1908, but whose crater has never been discovered.

It is thought the meteorite was sighted just 70km away from the ‘eagle’s nest’ and that distance is a mere 10 to 15 seconds of flight.

As the Tunguska event occurred in 1908, the age coincides, but modern tests have shown that the crater is actually 250 years old – so it could have been formed by a previous meteorite that fell when the area was virtually unpopulated.

The strange mound was found in Irkutsk, Siberia (pictured) was discovered in 1949 but it was only last year that scientists took samples from the site

The crater was named Patomsky after a nearby river and was discovered in Siberia (pictured) by a geologist called Vadim Kolpakov who tried and failed to arrange a scientific trip to examine the site. The first expedition only took place last year

Scientists now think that there is something with a high iron content and ferromagnetic materials buried between 100 and 150 metres underneath the crater.

They believe it could be a meteorite or another incredibly dense object, but they are not certain.

The fact that the crater is ‘alive’ as its shape changes constantly - by rising and falling - and that the trees nearby the site are reported to grow abnormally fast, adds to the mystery.

It was first thought to be a meteorite crater … but it acts mysteriously like a UFO crater … and it’s in Siberia where locals fear it and some believe it could be the result of a neutron star drilling completely through the planet. So, what IS it? ‘It’ is the Patom Crater and it has baffled scientists for decades while scaring both researchers and locals with its strange and allegedly deadly powers. Now a team has developed a new theory explaining its existence that isn’t has cool as a neutron star drilling through the center of the Earth but perhaps more plausible.

The Patom or Patomskiy crater, aka “Fire Eagle Nest,” was discovered in 1949 by Russian geologist Vadim Kolpakov in the Irkutsk region of southeastern Siberia, a remote area hundreds of miles from the nearest big city. Kolpakov himself was puzzled by what he found – a circular mound made of crushed limestone measuring 520 feet (160 meters) in diameter and 139 feet (40 meters) in height, with a mound in the depressed center of the ring standing 39 feet (12 meters) high. That’s a pretty unusual 250,000 cubic meter (8,800,000 cu ft) pile of limestone weighing about one million tons. What could have caused it … or put it there?

“I thought I was mad. From a distance it reminded me of a giant pit mine and I even wondered if people were there. Why would they be? This is a dense area of the taiga. Plus there were no NKVD labor camps around here – I knew it for sure. Secondly, I thought that it might be an archeological artefact, but the local Evenk and Yakut people were not ancient Egyptians. They can’t built rock pyramids.”

Kolpakov bravely climbed the mound, despite warnings from the indigenous people he had just insulted that “Fire Eagle Nest” had an evil power that caused deer and other animals to stay away from it and eventually and mysteriously killed anyone who stepped inside of it. While it didn’t affect Kolpakov, the leader of an expedition in 2005 died shortly afterward of a heart attack. Coincidence?

Kolpakov believed he was standing in a meteorite crater near the Patomskiy river. While some who agreed with him suggested it was from a fragment of the 1908 Tunguska meteorite, brave expeditions after the fateful one in 2005 determined it to be about 500 years old. Theories formed from data collected during those expeditions (and subsequently rejected) included a volcanic eruption (too small, no other craters), a super-dense, metallic, cylindrical object crashed (no one has found any metal), an underground nuclear explosion (no radiation), a spaceship landed there (and left a pile of limestone?), a fragment of a neutron star drilled through the Earth (where’s the entry hole?) or some sort of Siberia-only, warming-freezing, possibly methane-related phenomenon like the Siberian craters.

A recent article in Russia Beyond reveals the latest and most plausible theory for the Patom crater:

“A phreatic (steam) explosion, that happened either during magma emplacement into hydrous rocks or due to the faulting and decompression of heated hydrous rocks.”

A what? A hydrous rock or mineral is one which has undergone a chemical reaction that added water to its crystalline structure (amphibole, lawsonite, zoisite, chloritoid, talc, etc.). Magma emplacement is the vertical migration of magma that is driven by gravity. So, magma hits the water-filled rocks, heats up the water, creates steam, causes an explosion and leaves a crater and a mound behind to baffle natives and scientists.

This theory explains why Kolpakov felt heat, which may be the reason why animals avoid it and why vegetation may be unable to grow around it. However, if there was enough magma and hydrous rocks to form one crater, why aren’t there more?

Science, especially geology, is still leading in the race to explain the Patom Crater, despite efforts to promote pseudoscience reasons. One thing is certain — never insult or underestimate the abilities of indigenous peoples.

In what can only be considered one of the most bizarre information leaks of 2018, an alleged DARPA whistleblower known only as ‘Sam’ appeared on Clyde Lewis’s Ground Zero radio show on Wednesday where he made the claim that Chinese bad actors are likely to blame for hacking the National Solar Observatory (NSO) in Sunspot, New Mexico, and may have been using or intended to use the facility as a solar weapon which is what prompted the FBI to take over the facility last Thursday along with a nearby post office and several homes, reports Intellihub.

The reason they want to hack it is because the NSO in Sunspot is part of an intranet that also includes HAARP, HAMMER, and SMACC,” he explained. “Through this network we have been very successful at manipulation the solar surface and the coronasphere to the point that we can actually trigger coronial mass ejections of controlled size, duration, density, and intensity.”

The whistleblower told Lewis “they are using scalar waves to trigger them” which are “transmitted through HAARP” at “unheard of” power levels.

“Understand, HAARP is capable of transmitting signal strengths in excess of 50 gigawatts,” he said. “They require so much energy and the energy has to be such a high quality that it can only be provided by SMACC.”

'Black Triangle' aircraft spotted above Seattle is top-secret US air force surveillance aircraft - according to UFO conspiracy theorists

'Black Triangle' UFOs have been spotted before and online speculation suggests a US spy plane is to blame - though authorities insist they don't exist

By Mark Morris

A top secret US military aircraft has been spotted in the skies above Seattle, according to bizarre claims online.

A video, posted by an account called 'Ufo disclosure' on September 18, shows a triangular UFO speeding across the sky, not far from another aircraft.

The clip, which is captioned 'Triangle UFO or TR-3B filmed in Seattle', shows what some claim is a US Air Force spy plane.

TR-3 planes do not officially exist, but according to conspiracy theorists, they are a class of US surveillance aircraft, developed in complete secret.

'Black Triangles' have also been spotted above Australia and Russia.

'Black Triangle' UFO sightings have become relatively common in recent years, particularly above the United States, but they have also been 'spotted' above Australia and Russia.

It's thought TR, which it has been suggested stands for 'Tactical Reconnaissance', might be to blame for the sightings.

According to some claims online, the class of aircraft was first used during the 1991 Gulf War, to pick out targets for US stealth bombers.

Of course, there is no proof these planes actually exist, but they remains subject to almost relentless Internet speculation, and sightings like this will only add fuel to the fire.

“We often think of plants as being passive and at the mercy of their environment. My jaw literally dropped when I first saw these videos … They beautifully illustrate how active and complex plants really are.”

New research explores how plant communication systems respond to threats from hungry insects. The study, published September 14, 2018, in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, suggests that once wounded, plants use calcium signals to warn distant tissues of future attacks.

The study found that a chemical called glutamate – which is an abundant neurotransmitter in animals, including humans – activates a wave of calcium when the plant is wounded.

A hungry caterpillar, first working around a leaf’s edges, approaches the base of the leaf and, with one last bite, severs it from the rest of the plant. Within seconds, a blaze of fluorescent light washes over the other leaves, a signal that they should prepare for impending attacks by the caterpillar or its kin. That fluorescent light tracks calcium as it zips across the plant’s tissues, providing an electrical and chemical signal of a threat.

Gregg Howe is a professor at Michigan State University and a study co-author. Howe said in a statement:

We often think of plants as being passive and at the mercy of their environment. My jaw literally dropped when I first saw these videos … They beautifully illustrate how active and complex plants really are.

When a plant’s leaf is wounded, an electrical charge races across the plant to warn other tissues of possible danger. Howe said:

For decades, it’s been known that leaf damage, inflicted by mechanical wounding or caterpillar munching, rapidly activates defense responses in distant, undamaged leaves of the plant. But what triggers this rapid response has largely remained a mystery.

The researchers thought the trigger might be calcium. That’s because it’s ubiquitous in cells and often acts as a signal of a changing environment. And because calcium carries a charge, it can produce an electrical signal. But it is hard to track because its concentration levels spike and dip quickly.

The researchers created a method to see the calcium in real time. According to a Michigan State University statement:

[The researchers] developed plants that produce a protein that fluoresces around calcium, letting the researchers track its presence and concentration. Then came caterpillar bites, scissor cuts, and crushing wounds.

In response to each kind of damage, the plants light up as calcium flows from the site of damage to other leaves. The signal moved quickly, about one millimeter per second, reaching out to distant leaves in just a couple minutes.

A few minutes later, levels of a defense hormone – called jasmonate – spiked in those distant leaves. They were preparing the plant for future threats by producing noxious chemicals that ward off predators.

The results suggest that glutamate exiting a plant wound leads to rapid propagation of a calcium wave, which in turn leads to production of jasmonate and defense responses.

Bottom line: In a video from a new study, a caterpillar eats a leaf, and the plant sends a warning signal to other leaves.

Retired Air Force Commander Claims New Evidence Will Blow The Lid Off Rendlesham UFO Event

A retired Air Force worker claims he holds strong evidence on the 1980 UFO event the Rendlesham Forest. He said he saw “some type of superior intelligence” that could “change size and shape”.

The colonel named Charles Halt gather statements from air traffic controllers who were on duty the due day close the Bentwaters Royal Air Force Base in the UK.

They told him they saw a UFO performing amazing aerial movements. They didn’t speak up until their retirement because they were scared.

The military personnel on duty in the base RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge witnessed a fast triangle UFO in the field of Rendlesham Forest. Same encounters had resumed the next night again.

Halt, who was a deputy base commander at Bentwaters, underwent a series of inexplicable lights which involved a mysterious craft moving through the trees and dropping a hot matter.

Along with a tape recording, Halt also filed a report, describing a laser-like light one of the UFOsemitted as his men were observing.

Halt told The Huffington Post that what he and the others saw in the Rendlesham forest was beyond their imagination.

“The military has nothing to do with it, other than the cover-up, but I can tell you, there is some type of superior intelligence that can change size, change shape, do funny things. What I saw, I’m firmly convinced, didn’t have anything that we know or could relate to, inside it. Maybe they’re not a being as we know, maybe they’re an entity that just has intelligence, and we just can’t relate to it.”

Moreover, Halt explained how after many years he managed to retrieve some sworn statements from air traffic controllers who were witnesses at the same time.

“They saw the object go across their scope — a 60-mile scope — in two or three seconds. Thousands of miles an hour,” he told the BBC. “It came back across their scope again, stopped near the water tower. They observed it. They watched it go over into the forest where we were.”

A few years after the Rendlesham event passed, the air traffic controllers retired. Then, they decided to tell Halt everything they detected that night.

“They told me that they knew anytime an air traffic controller reported a UFO, they got de-certified. So they said nothing.”

Charles Halt recently blamed the US government for concealing important UFO data. Furthermore, he claims a presence of a top-secret bureau dealing with extraterrestrial activities.

Halt told the HuffPost that there is a contract civilian agency in charge of everything. He alleged this agency consists of former military and top-notch scientists.

However, his biggest frustration is the years of lies and misinformation about the Rendlesham incident. This includes the disappearance of essential files concerning the case.

In 2011, the UK declassified thousands of UFO files, but the ones connected with this one weren’t among them.

Halt said: “It doesn’t surprise me at all, because they were probably taken from them by somebody, or sent somewhere by direction. Trust me — that’s the way it works. It’s very disappointing on one hand, and it’s also frightening. Who knows what else is going on?”
