Weird UFO emitting bright light filmed by Beijing Residents
Weird UFO emitting bright light filmed by Beijing Residents
A mysterious UFO emitting a white light was captured on film by stunned onlookers across China on Thursday evening, in what appears to be the result of some unknown high-altitude craft activity over Beijing.
Similar sightings were reported in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and northwestern Shaanxi Province.
According to RT some speculated that it may have been the failed Soyuz mission carrying Roscosmos and NASA astronauts to the ISS, but that took place at 4:40pm China Standard Time Thursday, and the UFO sightings weren't reported until around 7pm local time.
One expert said it resulted from exhaust gas released by a man-made aircraft flying at an altitude high enough to reflect sunbeams while others suggest it was missile test launched from Taiyuan.
Below a video of the captivating spiral effect left in the wake of the unknown craft.
Scientists have built an amoeba-like robot with 32 individually controlled legs in a bid to find the perfect combination of stability and control.
The theory for the unusual robot comes from previous experience with robot building that found a robot with more legs is often easier to control.
The robot is called Mochibot and is based on a shape called a rhombic triacontahedron - a polyhedron with 32 vertices and 30 faces made of rhombuses (or rhombi).
Scroll down for video
The robot Mochibot (pictured) and is based on a shape called a rhombic triacontahedron - a polyhedron with 32 vertices and 30 faces made of rhombuses (or rhombi)
The ideal shape for an robot that can travel in any direction at any moment is a sphere.
However, this shape is flawed because they rely on only a single point of contact with the floor, making the machine unstable.
Mochibot is based on a sphere but the team made some improvements to make it easier to control.
Its deformability allows it to adapt to the terrain and how much ground contact it has.
The innovative design moves by retracting the arms inthe direction of motion and simultaneously extending arms on the other side.
To stop it flattens itself out parallel to the ground, as per IEEE Spectrum.
The deformability comes from the individually telescoping legs as each one is made of three sliding rails (which behave like linear actuators).
This allows them to extend to just over half a meter in length or contract to less than a quarter meter.
In practice, these extreme differences are not practical and the maximum diameter of Mochibot is about a meter (40 inches).
It weighs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) including the batteries, and has plenty of room inside for a payload.
A variety of cameras, sensors, or sampling devices could be integrated into the arms.
It’s somewhat similar to one of the tensegrity robots that Nasa has been working on for a while but Mochibot isn’t squishy in the same way that a tensegrity robot is.
The Nasa robot can survive being thrown from a roof, the Mochibot is not quite this durable.
Tensegrity robots locomote by flopping over themselves in a series of motions so complex that it’s taken machine-learning algorithms to figure out how to get them to move efficiently.
This makes them unfathomably complicated and very difficult to steer in a particular direction.
Mochibot’s big advantage over a tensegrity robot is that it can move smoothly and continuously in any direction you like by altering its shape.
Nasa said in a report on its tensegrity robots: 'Nasa desires lightweight, deployable and reliable devices.
'Thus, the long term goal of this work is to develop actively controlled tensegrity structures and devices, which can be deployed from a small volume and used in a variety of applications including limbs used for grappling and manipulating the environment or used as a stabilizing and balancing limb during extreme terrain access.'

The plethora of legs give the urchin-like robot an advantage over wheeled exploration robots as well as all directions can be optimal for movement, rather than just forward and backward.
The designers also suggest that Mochibot is better at dealing with deformable terrain like sand or loose rock, because its method of rolling locomotion is much less traction dependent.
For applications like planetary exploration or disaster response, Mochibot has the potential to be a versatile platform.

The next step is to experiment with different kinds of terrain, making sure that Mochibot can roll itself up and down slopes and over rocks and gullies without any problems.
Robots are an integral part of life and they continue to cease the attention of the public with the ever-widening guises and uses they come in.
Boston dynamic's robo-dog went viral when a video surfaced of the machine climbing stais and opening doors.
Since then the company has developed a humanoid robot called Atlas.
According to the company, Atlas is a 'high mobility, humanoid robot designed to negotiate outdoor, rough terrain'.
Atlas measures 1.5m (4.9ft) tall and weighs 75kg (11.8st).
WHAT IS BOSTON DYNAMICS' ATLAS HUMANOID ROBOT?
Atlas the most human-like robot in Boston Dynamic's line-up.
It was first unveiled to the public on 11 July 11 2013.
According to the company, Atlas is a 'high mobility, humanoid robot designed to negotiate outdoor, rough terrain'.
Atlas measures 1.5m (4.9ft) tall and weighs 75kg (11.8st).
The humanoid walks on two legs, leaving its arms free to lift, carry, and manipulate objects in its environment.
Atlas is able to hold its balance when it is jostled or pushed by an external force. Should it fall over, the humanoid robot is capable of getting up again on its own
Stereo vision, range sensing and other sensors allow Atlas to walk across rough terrain and keep its balance.
'In extremely challenging terrain, Atlas is strong and coordinated enough to climb using hands and feet, to pick its way through congested spaces,' Boston Dynamics claims.
Atlas is able to hold its balance when it is jostled or pushed.
If the humanoid robot should fall over, it can get up on its own.
Atlas is designed to help emergency services in search and rescue operations.
The robot will be used to shut-off valves, opening doors and operate powered equipment in environments where human rescuers could not survive.
The US Department of Defence said it has no interest in using Atlas in warfare.
Executive producer and writer David O’Leary told a panel at Comic-Con this week, ‘On the subject of UFOs, part of the story is the cover-up, the lying, the misinformation campaign to control public perception.’

In one chilling encounter, Air Force pilots encountered radar blips which seemed to ‘disappear’ every time their planes got near in 1952.
In Project Blue Book, researchers led by a former astronomy professor, J Allen Hynek (played by Gillen) analysed 12,618 UFO sightings.
While the research officially concluded that there were no aliens, Hynek became a passionate believer in UFOs, who wrote books on the subject and founded the Center for UFO Studies.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, said, ‘The USAF set up Project Blue Book on 25 March 1952. It had a policy of demystifying UFO reports and its powers to investigate cases were severely reduced.
‘Blue Book became the public face for official UFO investigations, but it mainly operated as a repository of information and an outlet for debunking cases.
‘After collecting 12,618 sighting reports, of which 701 remained unsolved, it ended on 30 January 1970, based on the view that: “Careful consideration of the record as it is available to us leads us to conclude that further extensive study of UFOs probably cannot be justified in the expectation that science will be advanced thereby.’It’s worth noting, however, that the Project Blue Book archives are now freely available online – and they don’t contain any evidence of crashed spaceships or alien autopsies.
Watson, says, ‘At least 10,000 UFO reports collected by the US, Project Blue Book, have been put online and many other governments have released their UFO files.
Photo NewsDe lancering in Kazachstan liep gisteren mis.
WETENSCHAPDe twee bemanningsleden van de Sojoez-capsule die gisteren een noodlanding moest maken, zullen in het voorjaar van 2019 opnieuw naar het internationaal ruimtestation ISS kunnen gaan. Dat heeft het Russische ruimtevaartagentschap Roskosmos meegedeeld.
De lancering op de basis Bajkonoer in Kazachstan was gisteren misgelopen. De capsule kon gelukkig wel een noodlanding maken. De twee inzittenden -Nick Hague en Alexey Ovchinin- bleven ongedeerd. Ze keren vandaag terug naar Moskou.
“Die jongens zullen zeker vliegen”, laat de directeur van Roskosmos via Twitter weten. “We plannen hun vlucht in het voorjaar van volgend jaar.”
De bemande lanceringen van Sojoez-raketten worden opgeschort tot de juiste oorzaak van het ongeval bekend is. Daardoor dreigt ook het schema voor de bemanningswissels in het ISS in de war te raken.
Roskosmos benadrukt wel dat het in principe mogelijk is om het internationaal ruimtestation onbemand achter te laten. “In theorie kan het ISS zonder bemanning worden gelaten. Er is een onbemande procedure vastgelegd”, zegt Sergei Krikalyov, de Roskosmos-directeur voor de bemande ruimtevluchten. “Maar we zullen al het mogelijke doen om dat te vermijden.”
Uitstel van experimenten
De verschillende experimenten aan boord van het ISS zullen in ieder geval wel vertraging oplopen. Dat zegt het Europees ruimtevaartagentschap ESA. Hoeveel experimenten exact beïnvloed worden, is nog niet duidelijk. De tests zullen wel degelijk plaatsvinden, maar op een later tijdstip benadruk ESA-topman Jan Wörner.
De drie astronauten die zich op dit moment in het ruimtestation bevinden, voeren onder meer testen uit naar het effect van gewichtloosheid op mensen.

Chinese soldaat ziet vliegende schotel crashen op legerbasis. Dit zei hij over de inzittenden
Chinese soldaat ziet vliegende schotel crashen op legerbasis. Dit zei hij over de inzittenden
Enkele dagen geleden verscheen op de website van het Amerikaanse National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) een buitengewoon waarnemingsverslag.
Het gaat om een waarneming die op 30 juni 1997 is gedaan op een legerbasis in de Chinese provincie Shanxi, en die op 27 september jongstleden is gemeld door een Chinese oud-soldaat.
De gepensioneerde Chinese soldaat was naar eigen zeggen getuige van een UFO-crash op de basis.
Twee gewonde aliens
De crash trok veel aandacht, gezien de locatie en het feit dat er twee gewonde aliens zouden zijn geborgen.
Op de bewuste dag zag de soldaat van het 28e Leger een vliegende schotel crashen op de basis. Hij rende naar de rampplek en zag een zilverkleurig object ter grootte van een satellietschotel.
Hij schatte dat de UFO zo’n twee meter hoog en zes meter breed was.
De UFO leek aan de buitenkant niet beschadigd te zijn, wat erop wijst dat het object waarschijnlijk niet uit de lucht is geschoten door het Chinese leger.
Vacht
De soldaat dacht dat de UFO mogelijk was geraakt door de bliksem, aangezien het die avond onweerde.
De deur van de UFO was open en ernaast lagen twee slanke aliens, waarvan één dood of bewusteloos leek te zijn. De andere alien was zwaargewond.
De twee aliens waren ongeveer een meter lang en hun huid was bedekt met een vacht. De wezens leken volgens de soldaat een beetje op buidelratten.
Hij voegde toe dat de bewusteloze alien van het mannelijke geslacht was en de zwaargewonde van het vrouwelijke.
Onbekende taal
Toen hij de gecrashte UFO naderde, sprak de gewonde aliens in een onbekende taal tegen hem. Hij was te bang om nog dichterbij te komen.
Later die avond werden de wrakstukken en gewonde aliens geborgen door de militaire politie. De hele basis werd afgesloten.
Alle getuigen kregen te horen dat ze hierover geen informatie naar buiten mochten brengen.
Onderzoek
Wat er met de gewonde aliens en gecrashte UFO is gebeurd, is onbekend. Eén ding is duidelijk: de Chinese overheid doet net als andere overheden onderzoek naar buitenaardse technologieën.
De Chinese overheid heeft nog geen commentaar gegeven op deze vermeende crash.
Disturbing Claim – US Officials Hold Secret UFO Investigations and Tests At Ranch
Disturbing Claim – US Officials Hold Secret UFO Investigations and Tests At Ranch
Alleged leaked documents have revealed that the US Department of Defence has done multiple undercover tests at the widely known UFO sighting area.
Skinwalker ranch has become the hotbed of UFO sightings with residents reporting a series of bizarre incidents.
In 2017, the former secret UFO study under the US Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was first made public.
Now, Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) has presented documents revealing the programme also operated a secret investigation at the controversial Skinwalker ranch.
The BAASS manager said that their investigation offered new lines of proof showing that the UFO phenomenon was a lot more than machines that military aircraft encountered.
BAAS claimed that the phenomenon also involved mysterious creatures, invisible entities, poltergeist activity, orbs of light, animal and human injuries and much more.
Jeremy Corbell of Extraordinary Beliefs revealed the more extensive investigation of Pentagon looked into mysteries far more disturbing and profound than alleged alien aircraft. Jeremy explained that Pentagon’s other research focuses on a living laboratory and paranormal hotspot called Skinwalker Ranch.
Last year, American investigative journalist George Knapp revealed the secret document but claimed they left out some critical information.
Mr Corbell and Mr Knapp have produced an exclusive documentary “Hunt for the Skinwalker’ recounting Mr Knapp’s series of investigations at Skinwalker ranch.
Mr Knapp said that the documentary was like a paranormal Disneyland, focusing weird activities that took place on and around the ranch for hundreds if not thousands of years. Sightings include poltergeist-type activity, animal mutilations, unknown creatures, orbs, UFOs and several other inexplicable events.
“We’ve found 20 fast radio bursts in a year, almost doubling the number detected worldwide since they were discovered in 2007.”
They’re ba-ack! Well, actually, they never went away. Neither did the theories (or hopes) that they’re signals from or sign of alien life. We’re talking, of course, about fast radio bursts – those rare and mysterious millisecond pulses from deep space that have baffled astronomers since the first one was discovered in 2007. An excited Dr. Ryan Shannon from the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing at Swinburne University of Technology in Australia co-authored a new studyin Nature describing the recent discovery of more FRBs, including both the closest and the brightest bursts seen so far. Are they any closer to a bright answer as to what they are?
“Our analysis shows that beams used for powering large light sails could yield parameters that are consistent with FRBs.”
In a different study published in 2017, Manasvi Lingam and Abraham Loeb speculated that the fast radio bursts are signs that extraterrestrials think like we do about using light sails and laser beams to traverse the stars, only on a much bigger scale. That’s tough to prove for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that fact that, at the time, only 36 FRBs had been detected. That number is now 56 with the new discoveries by Shannon and his team using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder to scan a much wider piece of the sky than in previous searches. While their cause has not been determined (yet), the new study shed light on where FRBs are coming from.
Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder
“Using the new technology of the Australia Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), we’ve also proved that fast radio bursts are coming from the other side of the Universe rather than from our own galactic neighbourhood.”
In a statement from The International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), Shannon explains that timing the wavelengths as they reached the telescope told them how far the bursts had traveled, along with how much matter they passed through. The big reveal was that the FRBs are coming from galaxies outside of our own. Almost as exciting, when extrapolating what the ASKAP might find if it were able to scan the entire sky at once, they determined that FRBs are arriving at a rate between 30 and 45 per day. Finally, the bursts seem to have an upper threshold of energy, indicating that whatever is creating them has some limits.
So, the discovery of so many more fast radio bursts is big, but far from moving us any closer to determining what … or who … is sending them. “From where?” will probably be solved as the scanning continues. The rest will have to wait … unless a giant sail suddenly shows up.
Throughout human history and across cultures there has been one aspect of the paranormal world that has seemingly always been with us, that of ghosts, wraiths, specters, whatever you want to call them. These apparitions have always roamed about the periphery of our understanding, lurking in the shadows and the spooky places of our world to incite wonder, speculation, and of course fear and terror. Yet for all of their pervasiveness throughout the world and their presence upon the landscape of the human psyche, there has always been a profound question lingering, and that is: just what exactly are ghosts? What is their nature and what place do they hold in reality as we know it? The question of just what ghosts are has been contemplated, discussed, and debated for a very long time, but what answers do we really have, and do you think you know the solution? Here are just some of the musings on what these mysterious entities might be.
The most traditional idea, and the one most pervasive among most people, is the idea that ghosts are the spirits of the dead, that the soul has somehow transcended the death of the physical body to continue on to inhabit our realm for reasons unknown. In this view, ghosts are basically us, just living on into the afterlife while tethered to the world of the living for reasons we cannot comprehend. Maybe they are unwilling to “move on,” or maybe it is that some tragedy or unfulfilled goal has fueled some power to linger on the physical plane. When people think of ghosts, this is perhaps the most common vision that many will have, and how most people would probably define them, that they are our lost dead.
One of the interesting conundrums about this particularly prevalent idea, other than the fact there is no proof at all that anything survives us after death, is that there are innumerable religions, faiths, each with ideas on the afterlife as varied as the cultures who believe them. In some there is a form of Heaven or some form of Hell, some new realm away from the we are in now, while in others we are reincarnated or even become one with the universe. There is often little mention, if any, of wandering spirits loitering about Earth and interacting with it, or details on what those spirits should be like. There is also the oddity that despite all of these different ideas on death and the afterlife, regardless of the differences ghostly phenomena are often remarkably similar across the spectrum in many ways, so what are we to make of this? Is there any chance that ghosts are not the spirits of the living at all, and if not what could they be?
One alternative idea to the theory of ghosts as the spirits of the dead involves the concept that these are not independent entities at all, but rather a sort of echo of what once was. Commonly referred to as “residual hauntings,” the basic idea is that for some reason past events have been imprinted upon the building or the landscape and are merely playing back like images on camera film, or sounds on an audiotape, residual memories of a time lost. In this theory, what we see are not spirits in the traditional sense at all, but more like watching a video, with the film being the area around it.
This theory is especially applied to those cases wherein the apparitions seem to mindlessly repeat the same series of actions over and over again, perhaps for all eternity, and do not seem to realize that they are being watched or that they are dead, no more than an image on film “knows” it is being looked at. Why and how these particular past events should have been transplanted onto the landscape, as well as how they are played back, are unknown, but there has been speculation. For instance, it has been postulated that death, pain, suffering, tragedy, and other events involving strong emotions might somehow stain the location, imprint upon it, and cause these incidents to be replayed, and this fits in with hauntings often occurring at places where something terrible has happened. There is also the idea that the composition of the surrounding soil or rocks itself may have some part to play in these residual hauntings. Are ghosts perhaps, at least in some cases, merely history playing back on an endless loop?
Another intriguing theory is that ghosts do not come from the outside world atb all, but rather from within. In this line of reasoning, ghosts are not a product of supernatural energy or strange forces of nature, but are rather extensions of the mind reaching out through little understood psychic powers, creating seemingly real constructs projected onto the physical world solely through the power of the subconscious mind. These thought forms are often referred to as tulpas, and can even be generated by people who are not even aware that they are doing it, the forms often appearing to materialize or vanish at will, depending on the mental state of the individual or individuals projecting them.
An interesting historical example of a ghost as a tulpa occurred in the 1960s, when a paranormal researcher by the name of Hanz Holzer was looking into a series of hauntings in the building at 12 Gay Street, in New York City, which involved an apparition most commonly described as a tall gentleman dressed in black formal clothing and with a top hat, black cape, and cane. This phantom was said to walk about the darkened premises and surrounding area at night startling people only to disappear, Holzer would go on to publish the case in his 1966 paranormal book Yankee Ghosts, and this is where things get rather bizarre indeed.
According to an author named Walter B. Gibson, he had lived in that very same building not long before Holzer began his investigation. Gibson claimed that he had been living there in order to do research for an installment for his series of novels starring a Batman-like crime fighter called The Shadow. So absorbed was he in his writing and in envisioning The Shadow roaming about the streets and the premises that he would often even hallucinate his character, who just happened to wield a cane and wear formal evening clothes, a cape, and a top hat. The author likely would have attributed this to pure tiredness and obsession with his character if he had not happened to read Holzer’s book. He was immediately taken aback by the similarities between the ghost and his character, as well as the fact that the sightings were taking place in the exact same place he had lived while writing his novel at around the same time, and he became convinced that what had been seen was an actual projection of his character from his mind, which had somehow been transferred into reality.
Related to the idea of these thought forms materializing into reality from the mind are mental powers running amok in other ways. For instance, it is believed even among many paranormal researchers that some poltergeist infestations could be caused by psychokinetic energy, that is, the mind reaching out to touch the physical world, unleashed to cause disturbances such as moving objects or anomalous noises. As with some cases of tulpas, these outbursts can strike out even without the knowledge of the person producing them, but they usually follow some general tendencies, for instance in most cases, psychokinetic poltergeist activity originates with younger individuals, and is most likely linked to some inner turmoil, stress, or emotional strife. This sort of ghostly activity is typically not confined to any one location, as it is tethered to a person or persons, and it could be a possible explanation of “hauntings” that follow a family from place to place.
Even more outlandish than any of those theories is the idea that ghostly phenomena come from neither our physical or mental worlds, but rather a whole other realm beyond ours entirely. The idea has to do with the concept of multiple dimensions, parallel realities beyond our own that may bump up against ours and may even allow us to travel between them. This idea is dependent on the theory that rather than just one reality or physical universe as we know it, there is “multiverse” of many other, possibly even infinite other universes that all lie side by side with each other, but which are generally imperceptible to us. If this is so, then the reasoning is that inhabitants of these parallel dimension may bleed over into ours or even intentionally break through the mysterious veil that separates us from time to time.
The researcher and author John Keel, as well as UFOlogist Jacques Vallée, were among the first in the paranormal world to suggest the link between multiple dimensions and paranormal phenomena when they theorized that UFOs and their occupants may not be from other faraway planets, but rather from parallel dimensions next to our own, beings that he termed “ultra-terrestrials.” This basic concept would later be expanded to include a possible explanation for all manner of paranormal phenomena, from strange entities, to ghosts, demons, and even cryptids or out of place animals. In this case, these phenomena are proposed as being caused by the denizens of these other universes bursting forth into our own, intentionally or otherwise.
With ghostly phenomena this interdimensional angle could go down a few different ways. It could be that these entities are somehow becoming temporarily entangled with our reality, where they are sighted and even interact with our physical world before vanishing back to their own, which could very well be seen as ghosts or phantoms by witnesses. Or it could be that these are basically those ultra-terrestrials Keel spoke of, dimensional travelers coming to visit us for reasons unknown, but in this case rather than coming down in spaceships or UFOs they are appearing as ghosts, wraiths, and specters. It has even been theorized that aliens, ghosts, and other strange entities might all be basically the same thing, merely appearing differently to different individuals depending on witness expectations. So, if they think they are being abducted by aliens, that is what the entities appear as, whereas in a spooky old house they may appear as ghosts because that is what the witness is keyed up for.
With apparitions of recognizable people or those who have died, this could also be indicative of other parallel dimensions that are nearly identical to ours, but a bit different. One of the theories of the multiverse is that there may very well be countless versions of our own dimension, with many of them almost the same but with some subtle or profound differences. For instance, there could be a reality where you wore a red shirt today instead of blue, where you made different choices, have a different job, or where you don’t even exist. Maybe in one reality a different team won the World Series, the Beatles never broke up, or one where dinosaurs never went extinct. Maybe a person who died in your own universe didn’t die in that one, but yet still inhabits the same place, where they go about life overlaid on this version of reality where they died. It this case, it is speculated, they might sort of overflow into our dimension from time to become visible for short durations or with a somewhat intangible or unearthly quality, only to fade away, making us think we’ve seen someone’s spirit rather than just a version of them from a different timeline.
These have so far been ideas that are far from proven and remain mostly in the realm of conjecture and speculation, so what of other, more scientifically grounded explanations for ghosts? One popular theory in recent times has been that ghosts and similar entities could have their basis in naturally occurring phenomena rather than the supernatural, and that the main culprit could be what are known as ultra-low frequency soundwaves, or infrasound. These are sounds that register just below the threshold of human hearing, but which our bodies sense and are affected by all the same. Infrasound is known to create a wide range of physical and mental effects, including disorientation, dizziness, shortness of breath, faintness, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and nausea, as well as emotional and mental effects including fear, sorrow, panic, and anxiety, and also effects on perception, like both aural and visual hallucinations, and since the one being affected cannot actually hear what is causing the disturbances, it could very well seem like the work of supernatural beings. Infrasound is actually quite common in nature as well, created by all manner of physical forces such as earthquakes, volcanoes, waves crashing upon rocks, wind, rain, and thunder, so perhaps the ghosts are really all in our head, the result of natural forces that we can’t hear.
There is also the idea that our minds can play tricks on our perceptions in other ways as well. One good example would be some studies that show that electrical stimulation of certain areas of the brain can create a profound sense of other entities nearby or of “shadow people” lurking about taunting us. There was once interesting case illustrating this in action that was published in the journal Nature, which was carried out by researchers from University Hospital in Geneva, Switzerland, and described the case of an epilepsy patient who witnessed a separate entity in the room with her when a region of the brain known as the temporoparietal junction was stimulated.
The woman apparently perceived this shadow figure as a very real autonomous entity separate from herself, rather than just a hallucination, and she often complained that the entity would touch her or embrace her. In some experiments this shadow person was described as interfering with her tasks, such as trying to pull cards out of her hands or distracting her in other ways. This strange phenomenon likely has to do with a crossing of the wires in this part of the brain, which distinguishes oneself from others, and one researcher in the study would say of the patient and the study:
Electrical stimulation repeatedly produced a feeling of the presence of another person in her extra-personal space, a shadow who did not speak or move, and whose position beneath her back was identical to her own. The strange sensation that somebody is nearby when no one is actually present has been described by psychiatric and neurological patients, as well as by healthy subjects. Our findings may be a step towards understanding the mechanisms behind psychiatric manifestations such as paranoia, persecution and alien control.
Similarly, ghostly phenomena could be the result of a range of optical illusions or hallucinations that emerge for a myriad of reasons. Psychological circumstances, stress, sleep deprivation, sleep paralysis, hypnagogia, or when a person is in a dream-like state halfway between sleep and waking, schizophrenia, drugs, side effects of medication, these can all combine with trigger visual cues such as a spooky locale to perhaps produce the perception of paranormal phenomena. The phenomenon known as pareidolia, wherein the human brain tries to make sense of random patterns by giving them a recognizable identity, could also play a role, in that something half glimpsed in one’s peripheral vision could be misconstrued as something more supernatural in nature. Combined with an over active imagination, visual cues, and an expectation to see something strange, all of these things could possibly contribute to experiences of ghostly phenomena when in fact there is nothing really there at all. Is it possible that ghosts are just all in our head?
In the end it is perhaps impossible to explain the full range of ghostly phenomena with any one of these factors. Ghosts seem to be an area of the paranormal that is a lot more varied, nuanced, and complicated than it may at first seem, to the extent that to call something a “ghost” might be considered akin to calling a “dog” a “vertebrate.” The permutations and possible descriptions are vast. There are many factors at play here, all equally strange and all intertwined to the point that they may never be unraveled. What we can be sure of is that people since time unremembered have experienced ghostly phenomena, beyond the scope of mere tall tales and hoaxes, and something truly odd is going on, whatever that may be.
During its brief trip through our solar system, the interstellar space object named ’Oumuamua was at one time or another speculated to be an asteroid, a comet or a spaceship that may or may not be occupied by living beings. It has since left the solar system for destinations unknown, but the arguments about what it is continue. The latest theory replaces “none of the above” with “an ejected protoplanetary disk object.” A what?
The interstellar object ’Oumuamua raced through the solar system a year ago. Astronomers continue to argue about what it is made of.
Its rare cigar shape made ’Oumuamua a puzzle from the start, as did its rotation, which American football-loving astronomers described as not a tight quarterback spiral but a botched end-over-end field goal kick. (Female astronomers assumed their best Captain Picard facepalm poses.) This caused speculation that the object may have been involved in a violent interstellar collision. While its seemingly dry surface said ‘asteroid’, the erratic spin said ‘comet’. This theory was strengthened with other observations that the object seemed to accelerate on its way out, implying it was getting some sort of boost from gases released when the icy surface melted on its close turn around the Sun.
Not football references again!
That was accepted for a while, until it was pointed out that comets have tails and ’Oumuamua didn’t even have a Doberman’s nub, let alone a gaseous trail or fuzzy aura about it. Also, that acceleration combined with the tumbling rotation should have broken a cigar of ice and dirt apart. Then there’s the fact that this was the first interstellar object ever discovered. What kind of force could have propelled it across light years from one sun to another?
“Basically, it’s a messenger from a dead star.”
In a new study, Roman Rafikov, an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge, proposes that ’Oumuamua is actually a sliver of a planet that was blown to pieces as its sun collapsed and died and transformed into a white dwarf. In an interview with Quanta magazine and in the study’s abstract, Rafikov builds his case by process of process of elimination of other causes combined with a comparison to the behavior of other tidal disruption events like the death of a star and destruction of its planets.
“Based on these arguments, as well as the lack of direct signs of outgassing, we conclude that the classification of ‘Oumuamua as a comet (invoked to explain its claimed anomalous acceleration) is questionable.”
Exploding star captured by Kepler space telescope.
Well … that settles it — ‘Oumuamua is a messenger from a dead star. Or is it? There’s little chance of tracing it back to its white dwarf because the event occurred millions of years ago. The data on it is limited because it showed up unexpectedly, was not detected until it was leaving and passed through in a hurry. At best, astronomers are hoping to spot another one in the future with a better telescope.
In the meantime, Outgassing would make a great name for a band whose first prog-rock album is “Messenger From A Dead Star.”
I thought they’d been shot. I didn’t realize what had happened. There were parts missing — they were mutilated.
Arizona rancher John Mahan discovered a cow and a bull mysteriously killed and mutilated on his property near the Grand Canyon. Both animals had organs removed including their reproductive organs, and both were drained of blood. Curiously, as in similar cases of unexplained cattle mutilations, there were no tracks and very little blood found around the animals’ carcasses. Who could have done this to these cows?
I just assumed they had been shot. I didn’t realize what had happened to them until the inspector showed me. They didn’t take any edible meat, just the genitals.
Why is it always the genitals? In most of these cases, the sex organs of the animals are surgically removed, sometimes including the entire anal or vaginal cavity. Who – or what – would go to such lengths while leaving the other choice cuts of meat?
Maybe things that don’t meat.
Arizona Livestock Inspector Royal Reidhead examined the dead animals, and says he knew right away that something was amiss when he saw the carcasses. “These animals weren’t shot, these animals were mutilated,” Reidhead told Williams-Grand Canyon News, “They were basically killed for their body parts.” Even stranger, the animals’ carcasses weren’t touched by scavenger animals as they lay undiscovered for a week after their brutal mutilation.
Reidhead has seen several similar cattle mutilations in the Grand Canyon area of Arizona, and says that the wounds inflicted on the animals are always surgically precise and leave behind little blood. While Reidhead believes that poachers are mutilating these animals, I just have to wonder why someone would go to the lengths of surgically removing only a few organs and leaving the rest to rot in the sun. Again – why the genitals? Do people eat those?
Livestock mutilations remain one of the weirdest unexplained phenomena.
Even stranger, how could someone go about draining these animals’ blood and removing their organs without leaving as much as a single footprint or drop of blood? As much as I try to remain skeptical about alien abductions and similar alleged phenomena, these cattle mutilations always leave me wondering what on Earth or off Earth is capable of such clean, precise surgeries with no discernible evidence. But why would aliens be so interested in cow genitals?

Astronauts escape Soyuz Rocket after major launch failure on way to ISS
Astronauts escape Soyuz Rocket after major launch failure on way to ISS
On August 30 a small leak was spotted in a Russian-made capsule on the International Space Station (ISS) and the astronauts were instructed to search for the air leak. They found it, a 2mm-wide breach and while till now it remains a mystery it is said that the hole has been deliberately drilled in a section of the Soyuz capsule.
Today, October 11, 2018 another and more serious incident has happened with a Soyuz rocket.
According to Russianspaceweb the launch of the Soyuz MS-10 at 4:40 a.m. EDT this morning run into a "booster problem" near the time of the first-stage separation around two minutes after liftoff.
The spacecraft entered a "ballistic reentry mode" according to NASA. Rescue helicopters lifted off from Baikonur in the direction of the projected emergency landing site.
Around 5:20 a.m. EDT The crew, the American Nick Hague and the Russian Alexei Ovchinin were forced to make an emergency landing.
The spacecraft landed about 20-25 kilometers from Zhezkazgan, central Kazakhstan. Reports say both survived.
The live broadcast of the launch appears to show much debris separating from the rocket around two minutes after the launch.
Now these artifacts were found by a close friend of mine and UFO researcher Christian Mace in France. He was looking over a Gigapan Mars Spirit rover photo and found many alien artifacts in high detail. He's got a good eye for finding these things and is one of Frances leading UFO researchers. The things he found will blow you away. Its hard to believe that the rover almost ran over two of the alien faces we see in this photo. Are they there to learn and explore, or are they there to Scott C. Waring Please visit my friend Christian Maces' UFO site by clicking here.
Often I say that storms, lightning, tornadoes and even earthquakes are sometimes caused by alien craft. Here we have proof that the hurricane was created by aliens too. Greys to be exact...were the species that did it. It was a Tweet from Jim Dickey a Morning Meteorologist for ABC7 WZVN Ft. Myers, FL that first noticed the face. Then it spread from there. He caught this and and told the world about it getting loads of attention. Aliens control our planet and in more ways than I can say. They were here long before us, and they will be here long after us. Scott C. Waring
AFPDe Australia Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder of ASKAP
WETENSCHAPAstronomen hebben met een radiotelescoop in het westen van Australië vorig jaar twintig mysterieuze en krachtige “fast radio bursts” alias radioflitsen ontdekt. Dat is dubbel zoveel als het aantal dergelijke signalen dat sinds een eerste waarneming in 2007 is gedetecteerd.
In het vakblad Nature staat donderdag te lezen dat het team met de Australia Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) ook de meest nabije en meest “heldere” snelle radioflitsen heeft waargenomen. “Door de technologie van de ASKAP te gebruiken hebben wij ook bewezen dat snelle radioflitsen eerder van een andere zijde van het universum komen dan vanuit onze galactische omgeving”, schrijft Ryan Shannon van de Swinburne University of Technology. Snelle radioflitsen duren slechts een paar milliseconden. Astronomen weten nog niet hoe ze ontstaan, maar er komen enorme hoeveelheden energie bij vrij: ruwweg 80 keer de totale jaarproductie van onze zon. Volgens Jean-Pierre Macquart van de Curtin University reizen de flitsen miljarden jaren en doorkruisen ze occasioneel gaswolken.
On a day when NASA, Roscosmos and the rest of the world breathed a collective sigh of relief as a Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft and its crew returned safely to Earth after an aborted launch, news emerges of a leading Russian astronomer who believes we are not alone in the universe. How soon can one of these civilizations get here with a replacement?
“I admit the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent civilizations.”
Dmitry Bisikalo is the director of the Astronomy Institute at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow and a specialist in the gas dynamics of interacting binary stars and accretion disks. How does this qualify him to proclaim that aliens exist? It doesn’t, but his research includes studying the components of a star’s gases and those of any exoplanets around them. As he told Sputnik News, those gases – especially oxygen, ozone and methane – are biological markers that can be indicators of civilizations making things and polluting their atmospheres just like we do.
“It is important to note that many biomarkers appear in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, which will be studied by the Spektr-UF space observatory, which will be launched into orbit in 2024.”
Spoken like a true bureaucratic astronomer making sure he has a job in a few years by plugging the Spektr-UV or World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet (WSO-UV) — a proposed joint (Russia, Spain, Germany, Ukraine and Kazakhstan) space telescope that has been planned since 2007 and needed well before 2024 with the gyroscope problems currently being experienced by the Hubble space telescope. While waiting for the launch, Bisikalo is also generating interest in both astronomy and space travel with comments like his recent one.
“After all, if our civilization exists, by analogy there may be others, and probably many of them.”
Bisikalo is channeling American astronomer Frank Drake and his famous equation putting the probability of the existence of alien civilizations at ‘high’. Unfortunately, like Drake, Bisikalo is dealing in possibilities, not proofs, and he brings in his own theory as to why we haven’t seen any extraterrestrials yet.
“[They] do not want to contact.”
Of course they don’t. We’re big polluters just like themselves and are on our way to destroying our planet, just as they may have. All they need to do is sit quietly and wait.
“For example, until the beginning of the twentieth century, our civilization did not radiate anything. Now the Earth is full of electronic signals at different intervals, but the general tendency is to reduce losses and consequently decrease signal level.”
“Decrease signal level.” In other words, die off. That may be what happens (spoiler alert) to all civilizations before they can change their ways or develop the technology to go somewhere else.
Based on the Soyuz incident today and the previous and still unsolved manmade hole found in the Soyuz capsule currently docked at the International Space Station, our signal level may be decreasing before we can leave too.
Bisikalo is still confident he and the rest of us will be around for the launch and usage of the Spektr-UV space telescope.
“Probably with the help of this infrared space telescope we will see something really interesting.”
Let’s hope it’s a starship delivering reliable space vehicles.
Oh boy, it’s been quite a run for Egyptian archaeology. We’ve had the big and spooky black sarcophagus, discoveries of new Sphinxes, pyramid energy focusing allegations, and now a discovery of a tomb built for a mysterious priest named Kaires who, according to the inscriptions on his statue, was the “sole friend of the king” and the “keeper of the secret of the Morning House.” Which king he’s referring to is unknown, just like everything else about this fellow despite his tomb’s insistence that he’s someone to know about.
The remains of the tomb were discovered near a pyramid in Abusir, Egypt. It was found in a small chapel that had been ransacked and looted some time in the distant past. Despite the looting, archaeologists found the statue of Kaires and his laundry list of important roles. Whether these were real titles or just egotistic boasts is unknown, however the tomb and chapel were found to have floors made of basalt, which was reserved only for the most important of people. Here’s the list of titles from a press release by the Czech Institute of Egyptology, and even they had to leave a few out for brevity’s sake:
Kaires was the sole friend (of the king), overseer of all king’s works, keeper of the secret of the Morning House, steward of the royal palace, foremost of the House of Life, inspector of the priests serving in the pyramid complexes of kings Sahure and Neferirkare, priest of the goddess Hathor, mistress of the sycamore, in Cusae (a city in southern Egypt), custodian of the two thrones (i.e. of southern and northern Egypt), as well as a holder of several other titles.
What remains of the entrance to an ancient Egyptian temple.
While Egytologists aren’t sure which pharaoh Kaires says he was the “sole friend” to, the tomb is near the pyramid built for the pharaoh Neferirkare who ruled from 2446 to 2438 BCE and that’s the pyramid Kaires was apparently the inspector of.
Now, as to the secret of Morning House and what “the foremost of the House of Life” could be, the archaeologists had this to say:
The Morning House was a specific location, where the king would come in the morning to eat breakfast and get dressed, whereas the House of Life was an institution, where Egyptians stored texts recorded on papyrus scrolls containing their knowledge and religious-philosophical treatises.
That’s right, he was the keeper of the secret of breakfast. Who knows, maybe that was an important secret to keep. What if the king was a picky eater? Maybe he only ate cream of wheat. That’s no kind of fit ruler. Perhaps society would have crumbled if the secret was ever let out.
But there’s also the matter of the House of Life, which seems far more important. Being the foremost of a massive library where all knowledge and religious writing was stored probably involved more secret keeping than being the breakfast wizard. There have been remarkably few papyrus scrolls discovered from this time period so we don’t know just what was in the House of Life, but it was likely on the extreme side of impressive.
Egyptian temple at Aswan
The ancients had a certain knack for pompous and egotistical titles that we’ve lost in the 21st century. Go around calling yourself the keeper of anything and likely all that will happen is a truck drives by and splashes you with mud while the driver hangs his head out of the and calls you a nerd. The problem with finding these sorts of titles in archaeological excavations is we don’t know whether or not these people were just old nerds. Now we dig up their tombs and we assume some dude’s made up titles have connotations of esoteric importance, which is exactly what he wanted us to think. We may never know how important this Kaires character was, but one thing has been true since time began: if you have to go around saying you’re the god-king’s only friend, maybe you’re just the breakfast wizard.
Record breaking number of new 'alien' fast radio bursts found: Australian study DOUBLES the number of mysterious signals spotted from Earth
Record breaking number of new 'alien' fast radio bursts found: Australian study DOUBLES the number of mysterious signals spotted from Earth
Researchers discovered 19 signals believed to be emanating from deep space, which nearly doubles the total number of known fast radio bursts
Some of the blasts were the closest and brightest FRBs ever found, they said
It's still unclear what causes FRBs, but experts posit they may be coming from a giant cosmic object, such as a neutron star, or a new and far-flung alien race
The latest bursts were picked up by the Australia Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, which is equipped with 36 dishes total
Researcher also proved the FRBs are coming from the other side of the universe
Australian researchers have discovered a record breaking number of brief but powerful bursts of radio waves emanating from deep space.
CSIRO radio telescopes in Western Australia detected 19 of the mysterious blasts, which nearly doubles the total number of known fast radio bursts (FRBs).
Among the 19 signals observed were some of the closest and brightest FRBs ever detected, researchers from the Swinburne University of Technology found.

CSIRO radio telescopes (shown in a rendering) in Western Australia detected 19 of the mysterious blasts, which nearly doubles the total number of known fast radio bursts (FRBs)
Fast radio bursts are elusive signals that last just a few milliseconds, and are thought to originate billions of light-years away – but, scientists don’t yet know what causes them.
They also generate an intense blast of energy - enough that it's almost equivalent to the amount released by the sun over the course of 80 years.
'We've found 20 fast radio bursts in a year, almost doubling the number detected worldwide since they were discovered in 2007,' Ryan Shannon, lead author of the study, said in a statement.
The scientists say they've also proved that the FRBs are coming from the other side of the universe, 'rather than from our own galactic neighborhood.'
FRBs typically travel for billions of years, occasionally passing through clouds of gas.
Scientists pay close attention to the arrival of the different wavelengths to learn how much material the burst has traveled through on its journey.
'Each time this happens, the different wavelengths that make up a burst are slowed by different amounts,' Jean-Pierre Macquart, a co-author of the study, noted.
'Eventually, the burst reaches Earth with its spread of wavelengths arriving at the telescope at slightly different times, like swimmers at a finish line.
Artist's impression of CSIRO's Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope observing 'fast radio bursts' in 'fly's eye mode'. Each antenna points in a slightly different direction, giving maximum sky coverage
'...And because we've shown that fast radio bursts come from far away, we can use them to detect all the missing matter located in the space between galaxies - which is a really exciting discovery.'
Scientists now know that FRBs come from about halfway across the universe, but it's remains unclear what causes them or which galaxies they come from.
Astronomers have previously suggested that the bursts could be coming from a giant cosmic object, such as a neutron star.
Others have even wilder theories that they may originate from a far-flung alien race that's yet to be discovered.
Fast radio bursts are elusive signals that last just a few milliseconds, and are thought to originate billions of light-years away – but, scientists don’t yet know what causes them
WHAT ARE FAST RADIO BURSTS AND WHY DO WE STUDY THEM?
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are radio emissions that appear temporarily and randomly, making them not only hard to find, but also hard to study.
The mystery stems from the fact it is not known what could produce such a short and sharp burst.
This has led some to speculate they could be anything from stars colliding to artificially created messages.
Scientists searching for fast radio bursts (FRBs) that some believe may be signals sent from aliens may be happening every second. The blue points in this artist's impression of the filamentary structure of galaxies are signals from FRBs
The first FRB was spotted, or rather 'heard' by radio telescopes, back in 2001 but wasn't discovered until 2007 when scientists were analysing archival data.
But it was so temporary and seemingly random that it took years for astronomers to agree it wasn't a glitch in one of the telescope's instruments.
Researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics point out that FRBs can be used to study the structure and evolution of the universe whether or not their origin is fully understood.
A large population of faraway FRBs could act as probes of material across gigantic distances.
This intervening material blurs the signal from the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the left over radiation from the Big Bang.
A careful study of this intervening material should give an improved understanding of basic cosmic constituents, such as the relative amounts of ordinary matter, dark matter and dark energy, which affect how rapidly the universe is expanding.
FRBs can also be used to trace what broke down the 'fog' of hydrogen atoms that pervaded the early universe into free electrons and protons, when temperatures cooled down after the Big Bang.
The team from the Swinburne University of Technology is now focusing on pinpointing the locations of the bursts on the sky.
'We'll be able to localise the bursts to better than a thousandth of a degree,' Shannon said.
'That's about the width of a human hair seen ten metres away, and good enough to tie each burst to a particular galaxy.'
They added that the latest discovery of FRBs is largely due in part to the Australia Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope used to find them.
ASKAP's massive dish has spotted numerous FRBs over the years, earning it the nickname of Sauron, after the fictional dark overlord that's the 'all-seeing eye' of the Lord of the Rings series.
It's gotten so good at spotting FRBs that scientists say it could soon spot new FRBs every few days.

The instrument is equipped with 36 dishes in total, which can be used either to look at one point of the sky, or be pointed in different directions to like the segments of a fly’s eye, according to CSIRO.
Using eight dishes, the telescope can see 240 square degrees all at once.
'The telescope has a whopping field of view of 30 square degrees, 100 times larger than the full Moon,' said CSIRO's Keith Bannister, who engineered the systems that detected the bursts.
'And, by using the telescope's dish antennas in a radical way, with each pointing at a different part of the sky, we observed 240 square degrees all at once - about a thousand times the area of the full Moon.
'ASKAP is astoundingly good for this work,' Bannister added.

“Door de technologie van de ASPAK te gebruiken hebben wij ook bewezen dat snelle radioflitsen eerder van een andere zijde van het universum komen dan vanuit onze galactische omgeving,” schrijft Ryan Shannon van de Swinburne University of Technology.
Snelle radioflitsen duren slechts een paar milliseconden.
80 keer
Astronomen weten nog niet hoe ze ontstaan, maar er komen enorme hoeveelheden energie bij vrij: ruwweg 80 keer de totale jaarproductie van onze zon.
Volgens Jean-Pierre Macquart van de Curtin University reizen de flitsen miljarden jaren en doorkruisen ze zo af en toe gaswolken.
Bij de lancering van een raket op weg naar het ruimtestation ISS is iets misgegaan. De twee bemanningsleden aan boord moesten een noodlanding op aarde maken. Dat is goed gelukt, melden de NASA en persbureau AFP.
Meteen na de noodlanding gingen reddingsdiensten naar de plaats waar de mannen geland waren. „Ze zijn daar inmiddels aangekomen en melden dat de bemanningsleden in goede conditie zijn”, zo meldt de NASA.
De Amerikaanse Nick Hague en de Russische Aleksej Ovtsjinin waren op weg naar het internationale ruimtestation ISS. Ze zijn ergens in het midden van Kazachstan geland, in de buurt van de stad Dzjezkazgan. Zoals alle ruimtevaarders zijn ze uitgebreid getraind op zulke omstandigheden.
Het ging mis toen de eerste trap, waarmee de raket loskwam van de grond, moest worden losgekoppeld. Elke raket kan tot een bepaald punt na lancering de vlucht afbreken en terugkeren naar de grond.
Een crash waarbij astronauten zijn betrokken komt zelden voor. Niet dat het onmogelijk is, want in 2003 was er de ontploffing van de Space Shuttle Columbia, waarbij alle zeven bemanningsleden om het leven kwamen.
Na het einde van de Space Shuttle werd een nieuwe Space Shuttle gevonden in de vorm van de Russische Soyuz raketten die nu astronauten op een neer pendelen naar het ISS ruimtestation.
Een crash met een dergelijke Space Shuttle is dermate opvallend dat het kan worden gebruikt om een bepaald ijkpunt op een tijdlijn te markeren.
Iets dat gedaan is door remote viewer Ed Dames, die een aantal zogenaamde ijkpunten heeft geïdentificeerd die aangeven hoe dicht we bij de Apocalyptische toestanden zijn die hij heeft voorzien. In eerste instantie bracht hij datgene wat hij had gezien in verband met een enorme zonnevlam, de zogenaamde Killshot, later veranderde dat in de komst van de planeet Nibiru.
Remote viewing is het (red.: het woord paranormaal halen we hier weg omdat we dat eigenlijk niet meer van toepassing vinden. Het gaat namelijk om een voor iedereen fysiek aanwezige en toegankelijke gave) vermogen om plaatsen, personen en gebeurtenissen waar te nemen die zich niet binnen het bereik van de (ons algemeen bekende) zintuigen bevinden. De CIA en het Amerikaanse leger vonden remote viewing (zien op afstand) geloofwaardig genoeg om miljoenen Dollars van de belastingbetalers uit te geven aan dit project.
Remote viewing is zoals Ed Dames dat uitlegt, iets wat je ziet zoals bijvoorbeeld bergen in de verte, maar waarbij het onmogelijk is om te bepalen hoe ver het van je verwijderd is. Zo is het ook met de rampzalige zonnestormen. Ze zien de gebeurtenis, weten wat er gaat gebeuren en ook dát het gaat gebeuren, maar wanneer dat is de grote vraag. Het beste wat je in dat soort omstandigheden dan kunt proberen is om één of meerdere voorvallen te identificeren die plaatsvinden vóórdat de eigenlijke gebeurtenis plaatsvindt.
In de aanloop naar deze ultieme Killshot (en/of Nibiru) zijn er door Ed Dames in totaal vijf van dit soort "ijkpunten" aangegeven. Hiervan zijn er inmiddels drie uitgekomen en dus twee nog niet.
4) Nog voordat bekend was dat Noord Korea beschikte over kernbommen, vertelde Ed Dames dat één van de aanwijzingen dat de grote zonnestormen op het punt staan los te barsten het moment is waarop Noord Korea daadwerkelijk gebruikmaakt van een kernbom. Geen test, maar daadwerkelijk gebruiken op een agressieve manier. Moet nog gebeuren.
5) De laatste aanwijzing die zal plaatsvinden net voordat de storm komt is de gedwongen landing/noodlanding/crash van een Space Shuttle. Dit is de term die Dames altijd heeft gebruikt, omdat op het moment dat hij kwam met deze voorspelling de Space Shuttle enig in zijn soort was. Inmiddels is de Shuttle met pensioen, maar zijn er talloze andere militaire objecten in de ruimte die er qua uiterlijk hetzelfde uitzien. Het zal dan waarschijnlijk één van deze objecten zijn die Dames heeft gezien. Moet nog gebeuren.
Gezien de recente ontwikkelingen is er steeds minder kans dat Noord Korea daadwerkelijk kernbommen zal gooien, maar toch komt er een opmerkelijk bericht van Ed Dames waarin deze meedeelt dat zijn vierde voorspelling wel degelijk is uitgekomen.
Wat hij stelt, is dat mensen goed moeten kijken naar wat hij heeft gezegd destijds via de nationale radio en ver voordat bekend was dat Noord Korea beschikte over kernwapens.
We geven hier letterlijk de Engelse tekst zoals Dames die destijds op de radio gebruikte:
"North Korea would use a nuke in anger, resulting in the loss of human life".
Wat Dames nu zegt, is dat mensen er altijd gemakshalve maar vanuit gingen dat Noord Korea daadwerkelijk een kernbom zou gebruiken op een tegenstander. Dat heeft hij inderdaad niet gezegd. Sterker nog, Dames heeft zelf op de radio verklaard dat hij zelf dacht dat er een ontploffing ondergronds of op de grond zou plaatsvinden en niet een bom afgeleverd via een raket.
Waarmee er dan nog één voorwaarde blijft open staan en dat is het ruimtevaartuig/object dat een soort noodlanding op aarde zal maken.
We hebben nu vandaag letterlijk een crash met een Space Shuttle want dat is de rol die de Soyuz vervult, een shuttle van en naar het ISS Space Station.
Wanneer de grote gebeurtenis dan echt plaatsvindt dan ziet hij beelden van vechtende soldaten wereldwijd die allemaal naar de lucht staren omdat daar iets heel indrukwekkends gebeurt. Zij zullen dan massaal hun wapens neerleggen en naar huis gaan. Waar Ed Dames vooral de nadruk op wil leggen is dat het niet het einde van de wereld is, maar wel het einde van een leven zoals wij dat nu kennen.
De remote viewers hebben zich ook beziggehouden met “veilige” gebieden op aarde. Daar waar men een betere overlevingskans heeft. Op het zuidelijk halfrond hebben ze er daar heel weinig van gevonden, afgezien van een paar plaatsen in Australië. Op het noordelijk halfrond heeft de bevolking een grotere kans om te overleven. Wel raadt Dames iedereen aan om te zorgen voor een “veilige” plek, weg van de dichtbevolkte gebieden als steden.
Hij zegt, “Misschien zal iedereen je nu voor gek verklaren als je je daarmee bezig gaat houden, maar als het één keer zo ver is, dan zullen familieleden en goede vrienden maar wat blij zijn dat je dat gedaan hebt en dat ook zij een plek hebben waar ze naartoe kunnen”. Als er niet of nauwelijks communicatie mogelijk is en er komt geen gas uit de leiding of het licht gaat niet aan als je de knop omdraait, dan moet je zorgen voor een aantal basisdingen die je absoluut nodig hebt om te kunnen overleven”.
Het allerbelangrijkste volgens Dames is water. Er zal waarschijnlijk een groot tekort zijn aan drinkwater. Zorg dus dat je voldoende hebt en uiteraard ook voedsel en brandstof. Deze hele gebeurtenis zal niet eeuwigdurend zijn. Na verloop van tijd zal de zon zich weer normaliseren en kan weer worden begonnen met de opbouw op aarde. Het zijn de beelden die Ed Dames en zijn ervaren team van remote viewers zien.
Wel heeft Ed Dames kort geleden in een interview op Coast to Coast radio gezegd dat wij als mensheid hulp zullen krijgen van buitenaardsen in deze ongetwijfeld moeilijke periode.
Over de betrouwbaarheid van remote viewing en Ed Dames in hij bijzonder, nog het volgende:
Iedereen kan zich nog de enorme aardbeving voor de kust van Japan herinneren in maart 2011. Er was niet alleen sprake van een aardbeving, maar ook van een tsunami en dien ten gevolge grote schade aan de kernreactoren bij Fukushima. Ook dit werd correct voorspeld door Ed Dames en zijn team en ook dit werd voor de aardbeving uitgebreid besproken bij Coast to Coast. Dit wekte de belangstelling van een Japans televisiestation en zij vlogen naar Amerika om Ed Dames te interviewen. Dit programma werd vervolgens uitgezonden op de televisie in Japan, waarbij ze de voorspelling van de beschadiging aan Fukushima weglieten omdat dit te beangstigend zou zijn.
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.’”
