Easter Island Heads May Have Been Markers for Drinking Water
Easter Island Heads May Have Been Markers for Drinking Water
Let’s say you’re living on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean with a population far larger than the supply of available fresh drinking water, which is limited to rainwater. Let’s say you and your fellow islanders have adapted to drinking brackish, slightly-salty water that occasionally springs from the ground, but those springs and reservoirs are difficult to find. When you do find them, wouldn’t it be a good idea to leave a marker so you can locate it again … a marker big enough to see from remote spots on your island? Believe it or not, that’s the new theory being proposed as to why the people of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) built their huge iconic Moai statues. Does it hold water?
“The porous volcanic soils quickly absorb rain, resulting in a lack of streams and rivers.”
In a study published in Hydrogeology Journal and reported in Newsweek, Binghamton University (New York) Professor of Anthropology Carl Lipo explained the major problem prehistoric Easter islanders faced in trying to survive on Rapa Nui. With no rivers and just two small lakes located in extremely remote areas, one would expect that the first inhabitants would build cisterns or ponds to capture and retain rainwater. While a few small ones were found, they’re not sufficient to support the thousands of residents inhabiting the island at its peak.
While they lacked fresh water, they had brackish water, and the explorers who eventually visited the island saw the residents drinking it without suffering any ill effects. What the islanders also had was a volcano sloped to run any kind of water downhill to the coastal areas. That’s where Lipo and his team found evidence of discharge points where brackish water would have been collected in reservoirs or trenches. That’s where they also found the statues.
nowing the details of the island’s hydrology and understanding that fresh water was a key ingredient in monument location now allows us to start generating hypotheses about the role that statues/monuments played in the community … This may well help unravel the secret to why this island boasts so many massive statues.”
Lots of water holding points … lots of statues. While there is definitely a connection between them, the team isn’t sure if the statues were carved and hauled there as markers, offerings of thanks to some brackish water god or for some other reason. Whatever the case, the water points are symbols of how a large population not only survived but thrived for centuries, growing food and working together to quarry, carve, haul and position the enormous statues precisely at the sources of their success.
“What they did was an incredible feat—but one that has been misinterpreted by outsiders who make European assumptions about what the island ‘should look like.’”
Planet Earth is weird. Some of us might like to think of ourselves as separate from or somehow apart from the Earth, but the fact is we are the Earth. All living things are intertwined in the massive, complex chemical reaction that is planet Earth. Photosynthesis, respiration, decay – all of the various natural processes and reactions all stem from the fact that our home is one big ball of elements being pulled together by their own gravity. As our scientific instruments and techniques continue to improve, we’re beginning to discover that all things living and nonliving are much more interconnected than we think.
Case in point: a new paper published in the journal Current Opinion in Microbiology suggests that massive colonies of microorganisms floating high above us in the stratosphere might actually have a profound influence on the weather down here on the surface. Scientists have been uncovering evidence of this atmospheric bacteria for a few decades, but this study is the first to suggest that this ecosystem has an impact on weather.
The process, known as bioprecipitation, is fairly simple: ice crystals and droplets of water more condense more easily around the membranes of tiny microorganisms; thus, the more microorganisms in the sky, the more precipitation and cloud coverage there is. Understanding this process is difficult, as collecting specimens or even reaching this upper layer of the atmosphere is expensive and doing so without contaminating samples with terrestrial microbes is near-impossible.
Forget HAARP: these are the real weather manipulators.
Even more worrisome, this study suggests that this microbial layer of our atmosphere has the potential to spread diseases around the world – although some scientists think that claim might be far-fetched without more data to support it. Still, as the Earth’s climate continues to change in unexpected ways, understanding and identifying the role of these atmospheric bacteria becomes increasingly important.
This study adds to the growing body of research which suggests tiny microbes play much more important roles in nearly every biological or natural process than we realize. Human beings are basically all singing, all dancing colonies of microbes and our bacterial passengers have been found to exert a profound influence on all sorts of functions like metabolism, immune function, and even mental health. Might human beings merely be the giant exosuits of colonies of intelligent bacteria? It’s a neat thought.

To me this looks like someone on the ground is trying to keep them in a line by remote control? It could be a few drones. That's our opinion here at USF. But still, we could be wrong? Until the Aliens come forward everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Our guess is that the objects are real (wait, keep reading) and the objects are definitely Unidentified Flying Objects - but with the surge of drones and the way that drones can be absolutely tricked out with LED's and other lightweight materials that a simple plus very inexpensive, a drone can get a city on lockdown in an instant. Maybe the reason why this kind of attention wasn't given to this particular "UFO encounter" makes me think that this is nothing more than a few drones with a few teenagers pranking everyone. Knowing that all they need to do is fly a few drones around the city from a concealed vantage point and participate in a few modest maneuvers and the next day they're on the internet on all the big sites like MUFON, and NUFORC's - and the rest as they say, is literally a history story? Or is it, it could be indeed Aliens but probably lost Aliens tapping on their GPS devices and sayings to on another like "hey dude", I think we should of took a left at Neptune brah!
I'm sorry but if it's too good to be true, then it's usually untrue. Don't get me wrong, UFO encounters are always going to be a little extraordinary but this is ridiculous. They're over a city, just high enough not to see them that well, just the lights and well, if it is Aliens then when they come forward and say "yep, it was us" as far as we're concerned it's a hoax and until then we are saying no to this.
UFO Sightings Footage opinion: Not a UFO. Drone or another type of manipulation at play or hoax.
Static glowing objects in the night sky. Ensenada, Baja Norte Mexico Shape:
Light -Duration: 18 minutes Ensenada, (Baja Norte)(Mexico) - 08-29-18 - Multi-witness sighting of multiple nearly static glowing objects in the night sky at the Pacific coastline on 08-29-2018.
Yesterday, evening at approximately 8:17 PM (PDT), I heard our neighbor loudly and urgently calling my wife’s name. When we went outside we were told to come up to the balcony and to hurry. After climbing the steps I could see the line of lights in the sky they were watching.
The line of lights were not in motion and I decided to grab my cell phone to shoot video of the event before it ended. With the phone in hand I quickly climbed the steps to the balcony and began shooting video. Facing west we could see approximately 20 glowing objects aligned north to south.
They were all nearly stationary with some small movement near the center of the line. A second pair of lights appeared above and to the right (north) of the formation and slowly descended near the formation. Shortly afterward, lights began to go off in place. It was only a minute or two before the lights appeared again in the same formation and location they appeared before.
I used the balcony rail to steady my shot but the vibrations of the balcony and movement up or down the staircase were causing vibrations to distort the video clarity. Being fully zoomed in to enhance the view exaggerated the vibrations.
I estimate the distance we stood from the formation of lights to be only 2 miles distant or less. The width of the formation was nearly a quarter mile. No sound could be heard but ambient highway sounds may have drowned out our ability to hear softer sounds.
I have seen videos of similar events and heard there had been a similar sighting near this area only four months earlier. I felt no sense of dread during the event. I noticed no particular pattern in the pulsations that seemed to affect each light simultaneously.
Almost all the event is captured on video between 4 separate clips and a couple of poor quality still shots that I have not posted anywhere online yet. Upon request, I will provide links to the videos captured for your analysis.
NUFORC Note:
Video link forwarded by witness indicates a row of approximately a dozen white lights that appear to be hovering above the surface of the ocean. Witness does not indicate the exact location of the witnesses at the time of the sighting.
Video of the Baja, Norte Mexico. This is a good UFO sighting but if it's real, well I'll leave that up to you to decide but I think this is a few drones with lights on them. The color of the lights give this away big time because they're man made lights. Sorry but they are and what are man made lights doing on a UFO, lol.
The universe has so many galaxies, stars, planets, and moons that many scientists believe intelligent aliens should exist within detectable range of Earth.
Hundreds of billions of galaxies drift through the visible universe, each one harboring hundreds of billions of stars, and each of those stars in turn shelters roughly a handful of planets. Even if the trillion-or-so planets in every galaxy aren’t habitable, countless water-rich moons orbiting these lifeless worlds might be.
And yet, in spite of these numbers, humans have yet to identify any signals from intelligent aliens. The prescient question that physicist Enrico Fermi posed in 1950 – “where is everybody?” – remains unanswered.
However, an upcoming study in The Astronomical Journal, which we learned about from MIT Technology Review, suggests humanity has barely sampled the skies, and thus has no grounds to be cynical.
According to the paper, all searches for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, have examined barely a swimming pool’s worth of water from a figurative ocean of signal space.
“We haven’t really looked much,” Shubham Kanodia, a graduate student in astronomy who co-wrote the study, said during a NASA “technosignatures” workshop in Houston, Texas on September 26.
The study suggests that somewhere in that ocean of space – right now, within the Milky Way galaxy – intelligent aliens might be saying, “hello, we are here.”
But we’d have no way of knowing, at least not yet.
Defining a ‘cosmic haystack’ in the search for aliens

Over the past 60 years, multiple SETI projects have looked and continue to look for alien signals. Some scan large swaths of the sky for powerful signals, while others target individual star systems for weaker signals.
Yet aside from a few anomaly signals that never repeated (like the “Wow!” detection of 1977), these searches have turned up empty-handed.
Kanodia and his colleagues at Penn State University wanted to know how much of the figurative “cosmic haystack” SETI projects have covered, and to what extent they could improve the hunt for the alien “needle.”
The group agrees with famous SETI astronomer Jill Tarter, who said in 2010 that it’s silly to conclude intelligent aliens do not exist nearby just because we haven’t yet found their beacons. Even if such signals exist and are aimed right at Earth, her thinking goes, we’ve scanned so little of the sky and may not be looking for the right type of signal, or for long enough, to find them.
“Suppose I tell you there’s a cool thing happening in Houston right now,” Kanodia said during his NASA talk. “I do not tell you where it is. I do not tell you when it is happening. I do not tell you what it is. Is it in a book store? Is it a music concert? I give you absolutely no priors. It would be a difficult thing to try and find it.”
He added: “Houston, we have a problem. We do not know what we’re looking for … and we don’t know where to start.”

In their study, Kanodia and his colleagues built a mathematical model of what they consider a reasonably sized cosmic haystack.
Their haystack is a sphere of space nearly 33,000 light-years in diameter, centered around Earth. This region captures part of Milky Way’s bustling core, as well as some giant globular clusters of stars above and below our home galaxy.
They also picked eight dimensions of a search for aliens – factors like signal transmission frequency, bandwidth, power, location, repetition, polarization, and modulation (i.e. complexity) – and defined reasonable limits for each one.
“This leads to a total 8D haystack volume of 6.4 × 10116 m5Hz2 s/W,” the authors wrote.
That is 6.4 followed by 115 zeros – as MIT Technology review described it, “a space of truly gargantuan proportions.”
How much of this haystack have we searched?
Foto: Instead of asking, “Where is everybody?” we should be asking, “Why are we barely looking?”
sourceSETI Institute
Kanodia and his colleagues then examined the past 60 years’ worth of SETI projects and reconciled them against their haystack.
The researchers determined that humanity’s collective search for extraterrestrials adds up to about 0.00000000000000058% of the haystack’s volume.
“This is about a bathtub of water in all of Earth’s oceans,” Kanodia said. “Or about a five-centimeter-by-five-centimeter patch of land on all of Earth’s surface area.”
Those numbers make humanity’s search efforts seem feeble. But Kanodia views it as an opportunity – especially because modern telescopes are getting better at scanning more objects with greater sensitivity and speed. For example, he said, a 150-minute search this year by the Murchison Widefield Array covered a larger percentage of the haystack than any other SETI project in history.
“That’s the purpose of this haystack … to help better-inform future search strategies,” Kanodia said.
He also noted that the team’s calculations assume there is only one alien civilization within range of Earth, and not any more than that. But more than one may exist relatively close by.
“In the ocean analogy, we do not have to drain the entire ocean to find a fish,” he said. “In the Houston analogy, if there were two cool things, you wouldn’t have to look as hard.”
Still, there’s no guarantee that a figurative fish or needle or cool thing is out there at all.
Another group of scientists, this one at Oxford University, recently took a different approach to the question of aliens. Instead of focusing on the likelihood of finding “technosignatures” that could be detected, they examined the likelihood that intelligent alien life exists at all.
The Oxford researchers examined dozens of authoritative studies about variables in the Drake Equation. The team then analyzed the results and calculated a bleak 2-in-5 chance that humans may be entirely alone in the Milky Way galaxy.

Martian 'Ghost Dunes' Could Preserve Signs of Ancient Life
Martian 'Ghost Dunes' Could Preserve Signs of Ancient Life
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
The footprints of long-gone sand dunes stretch across the Hellespontus region of Mars west of the Hellas basin in this image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Scientists can identify consistent winds from the east (blowing from top to bottom in this image) that formed them. The dunes migrated with the wind and sometimes merged or extended to form new dunes, NASA officials said.

Could pits hold evidence of ancient Mars life? Researchers just found hundreds of crescent-shaped depressions on the surface of the Red Planet. These pits likely used to be sand dunes — each one the size of the U.S. Capitol building, according to researchers.
These 'ghost dunes' remain preserved because of their composition. Lava or sediments washed into the area with water and partially buried these dunes as it streamed around them. Like a mold, the buried part of the dune hardened over time. After wind blew the exposed sand away, the mold inside remained and showed where the full dune used to be.
And maybe life is hiding there. In a statement from the American Geophysical Union, the research team said the tip of the trailing ends of each of these dunes might have enough shelter to preserve a bit of sand. Inside this sand could be signs of ancient life, protected from the radiation-heavy Mars environment. [Boiling Blood and Radiation: 5 Ways Mars Can Kill]
The making of a ghost dune. a) Crescent-shaped barchan dunes form with the steep face away from the prevailing wind, seen with the black arrows. b) A slow-moving liquid such as lava or sediment in water flows around the dunes and buries them halfway before hardening into rock. c-e) Wind blows away the exposed sand and is directed inward to eventually mostly hollow out the pit. f) Some ancient sand may still lurk in the pits' deep crevices, protected from radiation.

"We know that dunes on Earth can support life, and dunes on Earth are very similar to dunes on Mars," lead author Mackenzie Day, a planetary geomorphologist (someone who studies planetary surface changes) at the University of Washington in Seattle, said in the statement.
"One problem that Mars has that Earth doesn't is the surface radiation. If you are inside a dune, or at the bottom of a dune, and you are microbial life, the dune is protecting you from a lot of that radiation," Day added. "There is probably nothing living there now. But if there ever was anything on Mars, this is a better place than average to look."
Similar to active dune fields
Features like this aren't unique to Mars. The first ghost dunes were found on Earth in 2016 in the Snake River Plain, in eastern Idaho. On Mars, the new study uncovered similar-looking features in Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter images of the southern hemisphere at Hellas (an ancient impact crater) and Noctis Labyrinthus (a set of deep valleys.)
The ghost dunes probably stood about 40 meters (130 feet) tall at Noctis Labyrinthus and 75 meters (246 feet) tall at Hellas basin just before they were buried. They also appear to be barchan dunes – common dune types on both Mars and Earth. Barchan dunes are crescent-shaped features that occur on flat surfaces with little sand, in zones where the wind blows mostly from one direction.

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

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

Alien-Hunting Agents Seek the Truth About UFOs in 'Project Blue Book'
Alien-Hunting Agents Seek the Truth About UFOs in 'Project Blue Book'

Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Aidan Gillen) encounters an alien subject in History's "Project Blue Book."

NEW YORK — During the 1950s and 1960s, were extraterrestrials visiting the United States? At the time, a spate of panicky sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) thought to be "alien" in origin were reported across the country, prompting the U.S. Air Force to create a top-secret program dedicated to the investigation of unexplained phenomenon related to UFOs.
Under the code name "Project Blue Book," the Air Force documented and scrutinized 12,000 UFO sightings from 1952 to 1969, led by J. Allen Hynek, a former astronomy professor at The Ohio State University. The project's efforts — set against a suspenseful undercurrent of political intrigue — come to life in a new dramatic television series, which shares some of the long-buried secrets of this mysterious initiative.
At a New York Comic Con (NYCC) panel on Oct. 6, actors and creators of the History channel's "Project Blue Book" introduced the audience to the story of federal agents hunting UFOs and the manipulation of the truth happening behind the scenes. Based on declassified files in the federal archive — including 700 cases of UFO-related incidents that remain unsolved — the series confronts a question that still fascinates humans decades after the project's end: Are we alone in the universe? [9 Strange, Scientific Excuses for Why Humans Haven't Found Aliens Yet]
Each of the perplexing and unsettling UFO sightings that appears in the series is based on an actual event described in the recently declassified government records, executive producer and writer Sean Jablonski told the panel audience.
"Every case you see — that really happened," Jablonski said.
One standout incident took place in Washington, D.C., in July 1952. The repeated appearance of mysterious radar blips prompted the Air Force to launch a group of fighter jets to intercept what they thought were unidentified aircraft, according to Jablonski.
But the blips vanished every time the jet fighters drew close, only to reappear when the jets pulled away from the blips' presumed location, one of the pilots reported in an oral history recorded in 1999.
The founder of "ufology"
"Project Blue Book" stars Aidan Gillen (Littlefinger in HBO's "Game of Thrones") as Hynek, the scientist recruited by the Air Force to investigate UFO sightings and related phenomena. Though Hynek was a UFO skepticwhen he began working for the Air Force, much of what he saw and heard over his years with the project defied easy explanation. Eventually, the experience transformed him into a passionate believer in UFO encounters representing possible contact with alien life, Gillen told the panel audience.
In fact, Hynek went on to become what is now known as a "ufologist" (UFO expert). He authored several books about UFOs, founded the Center for UFO Studies — a private organization for scientific UFO investigation — and served as a technical advisor for one of the most iconic films about UFOs, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977).
The series also reveals that working on Project Blue Book brought unexpected conflicts for Hynek. Even when his investigations of baffling UFO-related incidents raised more questions than they answered, Air Force agents pushed for debunking and quick closure, frustrating his efforts to uncover the facts about what people saw, according to Gillen.
"He just wanted to find the truth," Gillen said.
But was the U.S. government after the truth? In the show, Hynek soon learns that his Air Force colleagues aren't really interested in getting to the bottom of events that seem impossible to understand. Instead, they seek tidy, reassuring explanations that tell the public there is nothing to be alarmed about. The government's deliberate deviation from witnesses' accounts and evidence — essentially creating "the original 'fake news'" — was an integral part of the "Project Blue Book" narrative, executive producer and writer David O'Leary told the panel audience.
"On the subject of UFOs, part of the story is the cover-up, the lying, the misinformation campaign to control public perception," O'Leary said.
"Project Blue Book" premieres on the History channel on Jan. 8, 2019, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, 9 p.m. CT.
Open Minds UFO Radio: In March 1942 the military opened fire on an object that flew over Los Angeles. The incident is referred to as the Battle of Los Angels and is best-known by the icon image of searchlights converging on an object while explosions from anti-aircraft fire erupt nearby. Researcher David Marler has researched this case, and when he puts together all of the facts, media stories from the time and government documents on the incident, it is more mysterious than ever. In this episode of David shares with us what he found and why this case remains unsolved.
David is a UFO researcher and author. He’s had a lifelong interest in the subject of UFOs and joined the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) as a field investigator trainee in 1990. Since then he held several positions within MUFON before becoming an independent researcher. Since then he has written a highly regarded book on triangle shaped UFOs, Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation, and has been featured on several television programs. David has one of the most extensive personal libraries of UFO books, journals, magazines, newspapers, and case files from around the world that covers the last 65 years.

RUSSIA PLANS TO CLONE EXTINCT ANIMALS AND BUILD A REAL LIFE JURASSIC PARK
RUSSIA PLANS TO CLONE EXTINCT ANIMALS AND BUILD A REAL LIFE JURASSIC PARK
Russian scientists have begun their quest to clone prehistoric animals, including but not limited to a woolly mammoth, hoping that Siberian permafrost will give them a competitive advantage and a good possibility of finding undamaged DNA samples to resurrect the ancient species.
The new laboratory at the Mammoth Museum of the Institute of Applied Ecology at the North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk has begun searching through its vast library of samples that were found nearly perfectly preserved in the extreme cold conditions of the Arctic, according to Ogonek magazine.
Scientists hope to extract live DNA by carefully scanning through more than 2,000 rare exhibits contained in the lab, which is especially equipped to preserve tissue samples in freezers of -87 degrees Celsius. The new lab will also be used to swiftly analyze any newly found samples, without the risk of damaging them while transferring them to a distant laboratory.
The researchers’ overarching aim is to create a real-life “Jurassic Park” (or scientifically speaking a “Pleistocene Park”) full of extinct animals living in a specially designed nature reserve located on the Kolyma River in Yakutia. The project is currently aiming to recreate the pre-ice age environmental conditions, including the grasslands, by the time the extinct animals are resurrected.
Besides mammoths, scientists will focus their efforts in searching for the DNA of a woolly rhinoceros, early ancestors of bison and bulls, cave bears and cave lions.
After all, the lab’s collection includes a perfectly-preserved mummified puppy, found sealed in the Siberian permafrost after more than 12,400 years, a sample of a pre-historic 4,500 year-old horse, in addition to ancient bison species some 8,000-years-old. One of the world-s best-preserved woolly mammoths, 39,000-year-old Yuka, is also at scientists’ disposal.
Current efforts to clone ancient animals are being conducted by scientists worldwide, including at Harvard and the University of Chicago. So far they have been held back by the quality of their mammoth DNA.
Russian experts hope that they could find live DNA in its samples but anticipation remains bleak as the thawing process can destroy nuclear genetic information. On the other hand, the vast majority of all ancient animals’ soft tissues ever discovered had been found in Siberia.
Scientists hope that once extracted, the DNA would be crisscrossed with an Asian or Indian elephant to give birth to its historic predecessor. The Russian researchers are working with a Korean biotech firm Sooam and the Beijing Genomics Institute in China, utilizing their experience to ensure the success of the project.

REUTERSEen Belgisch team van wetenschappers van de UGent, de Belgische Geologische Dienst (onderdeel van het Koninklijk Belgisch Instituut voor Natuurwetenschappen in Brussel) en de universiteit van Luik heeft samen met Japanse collega's als allereerste mogen boren in de heilige meren rond Mount Fuji in Japan.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETEen Belgisch team van wetenschappers heeft samen met enkele Japanse collega’s als allereerste mogen boren in de heilige meren rond vulkaan Mount Fuji in Japan. Zelfs de Japanners zelf hadden nooit toestemming gekregen om er te boren.
Mount Fuji (Unesco-werelderfgoed) is één van de belangrijkste toeristische trekpleisters van Japan, met honderdduizenden bezoekers die de berg jaarlijks beklimmen. Volgens de overlevering moet elke Japanner ooit één keer de berg opstappen.
Maar wat als de vulkaan uitbarst? En wat met aardbevingen? Daar komen de Belgen in het verhaal. Hun boringen moesten de uitbarstingsgeschiedenis van de heiligste berg van Japan in kaart brengen en kaderden in een breder onderzoek naar natuurlijke risico’s zoals aardbevingen.
“Op voorhand schatten we onze kansen om er effectief boringen te mogen doen op ongeveer 0 procent”, lacht professor Marc De Batist van de UGent. “Maar met het juiste team, het juiste voorstel en de juiste timing is het ons toch toegestaan.” In Japan zijn ze ongetwijfeld blij dat ze het Belgische team toelieten. Want het onderzoek bracht enkele opvallende onthullingen.
GettyEen vulkaanuitbarsting zou voor een ramp kunnen zorgen, zeker in de zomermaanden als de wandelpaden naar de top open zijn.
Niet drie maar vijf keer uitgebarsten
In Lake Motusu, één van de vijf meren die de vulkaan omzomen, werd een boorkern uit het sediment gehaald van vier meter. “De aslagen van de meerbodem zijn hier beter bewaard waardoor we de lagen beter konden dateren”, zegt Vanessa Heyvaert van het Koninklijk Belgisch Instituut voor Natuurwetenschappen. “Gelijkaardig onderzoek van de Japanners op de flanken van de vulkaan wordt bemoeilijkt door bodemvorming. Hun dateringen zijn daarom minder accuraat.”
Bij nader onderzoek van de sedimentatie in het meer bleek dat Mount Fuji niet drie maar vijf keer is uitgebarsten in de loop van de voorbije achtduizend jaar. Twee uitbarstingen, respectievelijk 2.458 en 2.438 jaar geleden, waren tussen de plooien van de geschiedenis verdwenen.
Gevaar nog groter dan gedacht
De laatste uitbarsting van Mount Fuji is inmiddels al ongeveer 2.300 jaar geleden. Toch is het onderzoek nu heel relevant voor de veiligheid van de bevolking in de omgeving van de Japanse reus. “Mount Fuji wordt beschouwd als een actieve vulkaan”, zegt De Batist. “Het is een berg die zeer goed gemonitord wordt. De voorbije jaren wordt weer wat meer activiteit vastgesteld. Na de zware aardbeving van 2011 was er zelfs even paniek, omdat men lichte trillingen waarnam onder de vulkaan en men vreesde dat er door de beving een uitbarsting getriggerd kon worden.”
Uit ons onderzoek blijkt dat het gebied rond de vulkaan dat risico loopt veel groter is dan eerst gedacht en dat vulkanische as zich over een veel groter oppervlak kan verspreiden
Een vulkaanuitbarsting zou ook echt voor een logistieke ramp kunnen zorgen, zeker in de zomermaanden als de wandelpaden naar de top open zijn. ”Uit ons onderzoek is immers ook gebleken dat het gebied rond de vulkaan dat risico loopt tijdens een uitbarsting veel groter is dan eerst gedacht en dat vulkanische as zich over een veel groter oppervlak kan verspreiden”, aldus De Batist.
“De Japanners nemen ons onderzoek daarom mee in de aanpassingen die ze momenteel aan het doen zijn van hun hazard maps, met risico-analyses voor aardbevingen en andere natuurrampen.”

BIJZONDERE UFO VAKER GEZIEN BOVEN NEDERLAND
BIJZONDERE UFO VAKER GEZIEN BOVEN NEDERLAND
De bijzondere UFO die onlangs door verschillende mensen boven de Amerikaanse staat Minnesota is gesignaleerd, blijft de gemoederen bezighouden.
Onlangs publiceerden wij het verhaal van een lezer die een identiek object boven Nederland had waargenomen en hij was niet de enige….
Wat het ook is dat die mensen hebben gezien, gefotografeerd en gefilmd boven de Amerikaanse staat Minnesota enkele weken geleden, het lijkt een bijzonder object te zijn dat ook door andere mensen is gezien in ons land.
Een klein stukje voor degenen die het originele artikel niet hebben gelezen:
Het gaat om drie onafhankelijke waarnemingen in de Amerikaanse staat Minnesota van een behoorlijk groot cirkelvormig object dat er als volgt uit zag:
Naar aanleiding van ons artikel, ontvingen wij de volgende mail (dank!):
This evening while looking at your site I saw “Ruimteschip hangt vier minuten boven weg Update”
This gave me the goosebumps! This is exacly what my X wife and myself saw in 1996 From Oeffelt To Our House In Boekel, I didn’t have a camera with me so I didn’t take a picture but now I see it and thank you for that.
Op die website staat inderdaad het hele verhaal wat er die zomeravond in juni 1996 gebeurde tijdens een autorit van Oeffelt naar Boekel, een afstand van zo’n 26 kilometer.
De man in kwestie was samen met zijn toenmalige vriendin op bezoek geweest bij vrienden die in een vrij afgelegen boerderij in de buurt van Oeffelt woonden.
Hij kan zich die avond van 22 juni 1996 nog goed herinneren, want dat was de avond dat Nederland tegen Frankrijk speelde voor de wereldkampioenschappen.
Rond middernacht vertrekt het stel omdat de volgende dag een werkdag was en ze een beetje op tijd in bed moesten liggen. Het eerste wat de man ziet is een rond object met vele lichten dat rondcirkelt boven de boerderij waar ze op bezoek waren. Het was identiek aan die die nu wordt waargenomen in Minnesota.
Nu komt er wederom een verhaal van een lezer die eveneens een soortgelijke ervaring heeft gehad en ook niet zo gek ver van bovenstaande waarneming. Het bovenstaande verhaal speelt zich af rond Oeffelt en het hiernavolgende in de buurt van Posterholt, zo’n 80 kilometer verder naar het zuiden.
Het verhaal van auteur Peter Diepstraten die dit meemaakte vindt plaats enkele jaren na het bovenstaande:
Naar aanleiding van het artikel over de UFO uit Minnesota ook in Nederland gesignaleerd van de datum 04 oktober j.l. het volgende. Het betrof hier een ervaring van een man die met zijn vriendin een bijzondere ervaring had tijdens een autorit naar huis in Boekel. U vroeg onderaan het artikel of er meer mensen zouden zijn die iets dergelijks zich zouden kunnen herinneren dan wel of die iets soortgelijks hebben ervaren. Aangezien het jaartal juni 1996 toch al beduidend lang is geleden is mijn soortgelijke ervaring van iets recentere datum. Dit betreft de zondag 19 december 1999.
Mijn ervaring heb ik in een uitgegeven eigen boek opgenomen. Ik zal u de letterlijke tekst uit mijn boek weergeven. Deze ervaring cq. manifestatie is frappant identiek aan datgene wat in uw artikel werd omschreven.
"Het was op 19 december 1999 in de vroege ochtenduren dat moet geweest zijn tussen 05.45 uur en 06.00 uur, op de weg tussen St. Odiëlenberg en Posterholt, op de provinciale weg de N293. Ik had die nacht dienst gehad en was richting huiswaarts naar Koningsbosch. In die tijd hadden wij nog onze vaste post de dependance in het Bedrijvencentrum te Roermond. Ik had deze weg al talloze malen gereden dus ik ken deze weg op mijn duimpje. Ik weet nog goed dat het die ochtend, een week voor kerstmis trouwens dat het een druilige regenachtige ochtend was. Verder kan ik me nog herinneren dat toen ik de bebouwde kom verliet van Sint Odiëlenberg, ik voorbij hectometerpaaltje 6.0 reed en de lange weg voor mij zag opdoemen.
Op een gegeven moment had ik het idee gekregen dat de combinatie van de koplampen geprojecteerd op de wegdekstrepen alsook de regen alsook het mistige weersbeeld, want het was behoorlijk mistig die ochtend met een beperkt gezichtsveld, mij wat in verwarring bracht. De rustige cadans alsook de statische situatie alsook het monotone rijden was ineens voor mij erg opmerkelijk. Nochthans had ik het idee dat deze factoren gezamenlijk mij het idee gaven dat het effect hiervan mij parten speelde want ik meende hierdoor lichtschijnsels waar te nemen. Ik dacht ook sterk dat de vermoeidheid hierin ook een rol speelde.
Maar toen ik dan ter hoogte van hectometerpaaltje 7.0 van de provinciale weg reed werd ik geattendeerd op een vreemdsoortig lichtverschijnsel. De snelheid die ik had was niet al te hard ik reed rustig, er was die ochtend geen verkeer toen, het was trouwens ook nog op een zondagochtend. Ik bracht de snelheid aanzienlijk terug tot zelfs bijna stapvoets. Vervolgens naderde ik het industriegebied van Posterholt en kwam ter hoogte van [het bedrijf] Cuypers kozijnen en Geelen beton. Daar dacht ik te concluderen dat het vreemdsoortige lichtschijnsel te hebben kunen situeren of plaatsen in de vorm van een mogelijke draaiende bouwlamp of een mogelijke ventilator die voor een lamp aan het draaien was. Dat was aanvankelijk mijn eerste veronderstelling want ik nam waardat het verschijnsel afkomstig was van het terrein van Geelen beton. Door de mist kon ik het terrein niet goed onderscheiden maar ik kon wel vaag de grote mobiele [hijs] kraan waarnemen.
Plotseling zag ik naarmate ik dichterbij kwam dat er een gevaarte [object] boven de mobiele kraan hing [aanwezig was] wat een draaiende [roterende] beweging had. Ik was toen ter hoogte van hectometerpaaltje 7.8. In de verte recht voor mij zag ik uit de weg links een auto stilstaan net of deze voor mij stopte maar dat was totaal niet nodig want ik was daar nog veel te ver voor uit de buurt. Pas later realiseerde ik mij dat dit voertuig daar is blijven [stil] staan om ook naar het vreemde verschijnsel te kijken. Ik stond toen bijna stil en heb mijn hoofd uit het [portier]raam gestoken om goed te kunnen observeren naar wat het zou kunnen zijn wat ik daar zag. Ik had totaal geen idee maar om het te beschrijven is de volgende omschrijving de meest voor de hand liggende. Het zag eruit als een soort tolvormig voorwerp van ettelijke meters hoog, breed uitlopend naar boven en naar beneden toe in een puntvorming. Althans ik kwam tot die analyse omdat er gekleurde, ik noem het maar verlichte ramen of schijnwerpers van verschillende kleuren waren gepositioneerd. Ik schat zo'n 6 lagen onder elkaar met de kleuren geel, groenachtig en paars-roodachtig. De vorm van een driehoekachtige positie, ik kom toch op de term tol, was een soort van obeliskachtige manifestatie van enkele meters hoog. En ik schat de diameter op het breedste punt ook ettelijke meters. Maar dat was absoluut niet te taxeren. Ik blijf erbij dat dit voorwerp enkele meters boven de mobiele [hijs] kraan van Geelen Beton hing en draaide. Ofschoon het ook erg mistig was kon ik toch voldoende het aanschouwen hetgeen toch zeer en zeer afwijkend was en dat het eigenlijk op het griezelige af was.
Maar nu komt het. Ik was inmiddels al zachtjes doorgereden want ik had ook in de gaten dat de auto links er nog steeds stond. Ik hoopte deze automobilist[e] te kunnen aanspreken over het vreemde schouwspel waar hij [zij] ook naar heeft staan kijken. Maar plotseling reed deze auto voor mij weg. We waren inmiddels al verder op de provinciale weg N 293 gevorderd op het gedeelte Karkenerweg, met ook inmiddels links de Vlodropperweg en rechts de Boomstraat van Posterholt. De auto voor mij ging rechtdoor naar Karken richting Duitsland maar ik moest rechtsaf de N 274 op richting Koningsbosch. Nu doet het vreemde zich voor. Nadat ik dacht het verschijnsel achter me te hebben gelaten zag ik ineens op de kruising Vlodropperweg links en rechts de Boomstraat Posterholt, het voorwerp rechts van mij meevliegen. Toen had ik het niet meer dat kan ik je verzekeren. Het voorwerp (manifestatie) had dezelfde snelheid als wat ik reed. Een kleine honderd meter zou ik dan vervolgens rechtsaf de N274 opdraaien in de veronderstelling dat het dan of zou verdwijnen of wellicht rechtdoor zou gaan. Opeens zag ik het voorwerp links van mij meegaan, ik schat zo'n 50 meter hoog alsook zo'n 50 meter bij me vandaan. Ik passeerde hectometerpaaltje 21.3 op de N274 op het gedeelte Brunssummerweg. Deze gaat op een gegeven moment over in de Echterboschbaan. Pas toen ik bij hectometerpaaltje ik meen 18.9 was toen heb ik het voorwerp niet meer waargenomen. Maar al die tijd heeft het links van me meebewogen. Toen ik daar tijdens mijn volgende dienst met collega's over sprak zei men dat ik maar eens met een psycholoog moest gaan praten. Ik had het waarschijnlijk "tussen de oren" niet goed zitten, zo oordeelde men over mijn ervaring."
Tot zover even mijn relaas zoals o.a. opgetekend in mijn boek alwaar ik als beveiliger een reeks van ervaringen heb laten opnemen. Mijn naam is Peter Diepstraten. Inmiddels gepensioneerd.
Tot zover het bijzondere verhaal.
Peter Diepstraten is auteur en dus gewend om zaken goed te observeren en te kunnen beschrijven, waardoor dit een heel waardevolle waarneming is (dank!).
In de volgende video vertelt hij wat meer over het boek dat hij heeft geschreven.
En om het verhaal compleet te maken, vinden wij een 12 seconden durende opname van dezelfde soort UFO, hangende naast/boven auto’s, wederom in de Amerikaanse staat Minnesota, maar dit keer gemaakt op 19 januari 2017. Een video die nog door bijna niemand is bekeken op een kanaal waar alleen deze video op staat.
While “Swedish hum” sounds like what you do when you don’t know the words to an ABBA song (how is THAT possible?), it’s actually a mysterious and somewhat seasonal noise heard often in Sweden in multiple locations and generally in the winter (yes, Sweden does have other seasons that last longer than a week). What’s causing these strange sounds and will they be in the next Mama Mia! movie?
“It was a constant sound, it was as if the sound gave vibrations in the air. It was for about 45 minutes and then it was very slow as if the sound moved somewhere else.”
That’s from the YouTube site of Rene Krupinksi, which seems to be fast becoming a repository of Swedish hums and other strange Scandinavian sounds. Krupinksi was describing a sound he heard and recorded (hear it here) in December 2017 – a sound that went on for 45 minutes and felt to him as if it was surrounding him rather than coming from any definitive direction. The recording has been making the rounds again recently, indicating it still hasn’t been resolved.
“Early morning in Gothenburg in Sweden i heard this strange trumpet sound. People was looking up when the sound came.”
That trumpet sound (hear it here) was recorded on August 10, 2018.
“I have heard this sound many times, i the middle of the night at at day time. I was reading in the news, the same sound was too in US and England at same time, and it was raported and many people have taking contact to the police to ask. No one knows what it was, but it also was in northern Germany and Denmark.”
To compete the strange sound triple-play of hum, trumpet and boom, Krupinksi uploaded a recording of a boom in Germanyhe claims to have also heard himself. How is it that one person has personally experienced so many strange sounds? Looking at the rest of his YouTube page, Krupinksi appears to be a fan of (and possibly a producer of) electronic music. Perhaps he just has a sensitive ear and recording equipment ready at a moment’s notice to capture the sounds.
“Strange trumpet sound in the sky!!! (trying to film the aurora in the sky). At 2.34 in this vid, the sound is very close. I was experimenting with my camera this evening to film northern lights.”
Or perhaps he lives in the right place. In his comment on an April 2018 recording (hear it here), Krupinksi reveals he was watching the Northern Lights when he heard a trumpet sound. Researchers admit that so-called ‘aurora sounds’ frequently occur during northern lights activities. However, they’re generally short sounds ranging from crackles to machine gun bursts to claps and booms. Because the intensity of these solar magnetic disturbances varies, the sounds are different as well.
That ‘sounds’ reasonable … except to the millions of people in the north who hear the sounds in the Northern Lights off-season, or in the south where there’s no aurora borealis at all. There’s obviously more to these mysterious hums, trumpets and booms than meets the ear. Help solve the mystery by following the example of Rene Krupinksi and spending time outside with audio and video recording devices.
Three college students in Phoenix have reported having a supernatural experience during a recent hike on Arizona’s Dreamy Draw Mountain. According to the students, a strangely familiar robed, long-haired figure appeared on top of the mountain, only to vanish as the girls appeared. Even stranger, the apparition left them the best gift three college students could hope to receive: an envelope full of cash.
Just think of all the pumpkin spice lattes that could buy!
It all began as Allisa Miller, Jen Vickman, and Kassi Sanchez were having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day in the way that only privileged college students can have. “It was one of those days where as soon as you wake up, nothing really goes as planned,” Miller told AZFamily.com. “We slept through our alarms so we were really late to get here,” said Vickman. “It was already hot, like we didn’t want to hike,” said Sanchez. “Like something we had to do almost, forced fun,” laughed Miller. Poor girls. First world problems sure are the worst.
The girls overcame the unbearable adversity of waking up late and being hot and made it to the mountain where they began their hike. That’s when things got mysterious. The girls saw a curiously Jesus-like figure standing atop the mountain, but when they reached the spot where he stood, he had vanished.
Probably had a pancake to appear on somewhere.
“We just see a silhouette of this man, it looks like he has long hair and he’s in a robe,” said Miller. “He was like right there on the top of the mountain. We were all just kinda shocked, we just kinda sat there.” While just kinda sitting there, the girls spied an envelope stashed between a few rocks. Opening the envelope, the girls discovered a note with a curious, somewhat rambling inscription quoting the Bible and contemporary Christian rock music and signed only with the letter J. Even better, the envelope contained three $100 bills – one for each hiker.
Of course, the girls believe the experience was a miracle and have found religious meaning in it. As such, they say they won’t spend the money but will save it for the right opportunity to help someone in need.
Experiencing miracles is great and all, but something about this one just feels a bit too coincidental: three girls, three $100 bills, a robed, long-haired man and a noted signed “J.” Was this a miracle on Dreamy Draw Mountain, or merely a good Samaritan hoping to lure a few young people into organized religion? Why go through the effort of wearing a robe up to the top of a mountain? Then again, if the girls plan to merely pay the cash forward, why report it to the news?
The coastline of the Carolinas has become a hotspot for mysteries lately. Just this week, a large unidentified object washed ashore not far from Charleston, South Carolina before being quickly whisked away by unnamed officials. A few months ago, a similarly large and unknown object was discovered a few hours to the north in North Carolina’s Outer Banks and has likewise yet to be identified.
To add to these maritime mysteries, a curious video filmed in South Carolina’s popular tourist haven of Myrtle Beach has Carolinians wondering what exactly is going on in the skies over the coastline. MUFON and UFO Stalker both posted the video which seems to depict either a formation of small lights or one massive object flanked with multiple lights, somewhat similar to the Phoenix Lights. The video was reportedly filmed on August 5th but was reported to MUFON on October 4th.
The Phoenix Lights remain among the most widespread mass sightings in UFO history.
The unnamed individual who filmed the time lapse video was photographing a lightning storm over the Myrtle Beach oceanfront strip of hotels and resorts and reportedly didn’t notice the lights until processing the video later. “I was taking the pictures off the edge of a long pier after dark, so there were no reflective surfaces around,” the videographer toldMUFON. “I did not notice the objects until i returned home and checked the photograph and video.”
Like most photographic or videographic evidence, it’s difficult to tell exactly what we’re seeing and reflections or other artifacts certainly are plausible and probable explanations – especially given the amount of bright lights along this stretch of the Myrtle Beach strip. Of course, the comments sections on both Myrtle Beach local news sites and UFO Stalker are full of skeptics and believers alike. On MyrtleBeachOnline.com, the prevailing consensus seems to be that the lights are merely reflections or lens flares. Some commenters have pointed out that the formation of lights is somewhat similar to the arrangement of buildings below.
South Carolina is home to both Joint Base Charleston Air Force North and Shaw Air Force Base, both known to conduct drills and exercises along the coast.
Then again, with so many strange things washing ashore along the Carolinas’ coastlines, who knows what the video might depict? Reflections, a military drill, or something stranger?
Saturn has to be both the coolest and weirdest planet in the solar system. It’s so strange that it’s inspired countless conspiracy theories including the, admittedly awesome, idea Saturn is where demons live. No other planet is cool enough to justify that level of insanity. In 2017, the spacecraft Cassini engaged its final suicide mission, hurling itself with all haste into the gas giant and topping off the slew of astounding images it already sent back Earth-side with a detailed analysis of the chemical composition of Saturn’s atmosphere and its signature rings. And wouldn’t you know it, Saturn got even weirder.
According to a new study published in Science, the chemical composition of Saturn’s rings is a far cry from what scientists initially expected. It was long assumed that the rings of Saturn were composed of almost entirely water, but the data from Cassini shows that amidst all that water are other complex chemicals—including a large amount of organic matter such as methane.
Now, the word organic is a pretty loaded term. We’re not talking organic farming here, and they didn’t find the demons. Organic, in the chemical sense, means chemicals that include carbon in their molecular structure. While they are certainly not saying that they found life in Saturn’s rings, organic compounds do form the basis of all life.
Artist’s depiction of the Cassini spacecraft
According to Thomas Cravens, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Kansas and co-author of the paper:
“What was a surprise was the mass spectrometer saw methane — no one expected that. Also, it saw some carbon dioxide, which was unexpected. The rings were thought to be entirely water. But the innermost rings are fairly contaminated, as it turns out, with organic material caught up in ice.”
The researchers also found that the rings are expelling these chemical compounds into Saturn’s atmosphere, and may be gradually changing the chemical makeup of the planet. According to Cravens:
The material is coming into Saturn at high speeds because the rings are moving faster than the atmosphere quite a bit. It doesn’t just drop in gently. It comes flying in there like a satellite re-entering our own planet. These dust grains moving at satellite speed, depositing energy that can dissociate the atmosphere.
How can you not love this huge, weird, and creepy thing?
According to the scientists, this new understanding of Saturn’s rings and atmosphere can help us better understand the underlying processes of the solar system at large, including how planetary rings are formed in the first place, and how long they last. Unfortunately for old Saturn, the data seems to suggest that the rings are slowly being depleted. They’re expelling matter faster than they’re being refilled. As Cravens put it, there’s “a hole in the bucket.” This may also suggest that Jupiter’s now nearly invisible ring was once as impressive as Saturn’s.
It seems that the more we learn, the more unanswered questions are revealed. With our technology progressing faster and faster, giving us more detailed windows into our mysterious neighbors there’s no telling what we could find. It’s probably demons, though.
Amazing UFO Near Trees At Sterling City, Texas On Oct 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Amazing UFO Near Trees At Sterling City, Texas On Oct 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: October 2018 Location of sighting: Sterling City, Texas, USA Now I passed this by for a second, dismissing it as a fake...but then decided to take a second look and carefully look at the photos. I took the screenshot and added light, which revealed the ground and the trees nearby. I then realised its 100% legit...and that was exciting. Its not often a UFO of this size and focus is captured. The UFO was captured by a UFO researcher channel called Sterling City UFOs...in Texas. Click that name to subscribe to their channel or miss out. I put the screenshots into a gif so you can see me adding light and see the full picture. The first photo in the gif is the original, unaltered. Wow, this reminds me of the legendary Billy Meier UFO photos, which also had UFOs of this detail near trees. So awesome. This made my week. Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
I awoke at 130 am to shut the window, and this large UFO was sitting close to the trees about 60 meters away. I grabbed my camera put it on a stand and was able to get 2 raw photos with a 2 second exposure. it lit the object up. fantastic clear shot.

UFO Descends From Space and Then Splits Into Two Over Ohio, Oct 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Oct 2018 Location of sighting: Ohio, USA Source: MUFON #95464 When an object falls from space with a trail this big...it should in world news...yet nothing about this object exists except this one video by an eyewitness. The object is moving too slow to be a meteor or space junk. The speed is slow and controlled...and I don't want to say its aliens...but it's aliens. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan Eyewitness states:
"Thought maybe a plane was crashing saw a light descending then a black piece came off...My daughter and I were driving to the store. We both noticed a light in the sky ahead of us and it looked like it was descending. I said is that a plane crashing ? We couldn’t figure out what the orange like light was. I pulled over and we saw a black piece come off. I thought maybe an explosion was next and we stopped the car to look.
Then the light moved and a trail seemed to follow. But then it hovered. We watched as it began to move again stop and then a trail. It was very slow. We were bewildered. Never saw anything like it. We decided to drive the direction but then lost it in the trees. We were both very confused for quite a while we kept looking for another half an hour. Not sure what it was, seemed to slow for a meteor or fireball. The black piece that came off was also very confusing"
Mysterious Humming Sound in the Sky recorded in Sweden
Mysterious Humming Sound in the Sky recorded in Sweden
A puzzling piece for footage from Sweden features a mysterious humming sound that was said to have reverberated through the air for an astounding 45 minutes. The eerie scene was filmed back in December.
According to the witness, he noticed the odd sound while in northern Sweden at what looks to be a snow-covered mountaintop. He says that the humming noise was constant and seemed to almost vibrate the air.
Although he expressed certainty that the hum was coming from the sky, the witness conceded that he couldn't quite determine from which direction it was emanating as it appeared to be coming from every direction.
He also noted that he has visited the location before and that it is "usually a very quiet place," what made the odd hum all the more mystifying. Eventually, after nearly an hour, he says, the noise dissipated as if it had "moved somewhere else."
The sound heard by the witness in Sweden may be connected to the larger mystery hum phenomenon which has been reported in various parts of the world in recent years.
According to coasttocoastam, theories for what may be causing these sounds range from the conspiratorial, such as clandestine military weaponry, air displacement caused by slow-moving huge UFOs to prosaic possibilities involving natural events surrounding the magnetic field of the Earth.
