WATCH THE BOSTON DYNAMICS ROBODOG TWERK AND MOONWALK TO “UPTOWN FUNK”
WATCH THE BOSTON DYNAMICS ROBODOG TWERK AND MOONWALK TO “UPTOWN FUNK”
KRISTIN HOUSER__FILED UNDER: ROBOTS & MACHINES
The last time we saw Boston Dynamics’s dog-like robot SpotMini, it was on the job, prancing around a construction site to demonstrate its surveying skills.
But all work and no play makes SpotMini a dull bot. Sometimes, a robodog just wants to dance.
Just Watch
On Tuesday, Boston Dynamics release a video of SpotMini dancing to Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk.”
In the clip, the bot demonstrates a bevy of surprising slick moves. It twerks. It moonwalks. It suggestively gyrates its robot hips while seemingly staring directly into your soul.
Clearly, if things don’t work out in the construction industry, SpotMini could always pursue a career as a backup dancer. And that’s great because even a robodog needs to have options.

Ik bestudeerde buitenaardse schepen in Area 51. Insider verbreekt na 30 jaar stilte over grootste UFO-verhaal aller tijden
Ik bestudeerde buitenaardse schepen in Area 51. Insider verbreekt na 30 jaar stilte over grootste UFO-verhaal aller tijden
Bob Lazar deed in 1989 heel wat stof opwaaien toen zijn interview met journalist George Knapp over zijn werkzaamheden in Area 51 werd uitgezonden.
Lazar vertelde onder meer dat hij werkte in S-4, een onderdeel van de geheimzinnige basis. Na het interview bleef het bijna 30 jaar stil.
Daar zal spoedig verandering in komen, want de afgelopen jaren liet Lazar filmmaker Jeremy Corbell toe in zijn leven. Binnenkort verschijnt er een documentaire over hem.
Enorme gevolgen
“Dit is het grootste UFO-verhaal aller tijden,” vertelde Corbell aan Daily Star Online. “Het zal de eerste keer zijn dat hij zijn hele verhaal doet.”
“Hij trok aan de bel, verbaasde de hele wereld en toen bleef het stil,” vervolgde hij. “In deze film spreekt Bob openlijk over zijn leven. Hij heeft nog nooit eerder zoiets gedaan.”
De filmmaker zei dat de documentaire voor de nodige ophef kan zorgen in Washington. “Als Bob Lazar de waarheid vertelt, dan heeft dat enorme gevolgen.”
Buitenaardse ruimteschepen
“Hij vertelt dat hij een buitenaards aandrijfsysteem bestudeerde in opdracht van het Amerikaanse leger – buitenaardse ruimteschepen,” zei Corbell.
“En dat de overheid dit voor ons geheim heeft gehouden,” vervolgde hij.
Zijn documentaire, Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers, komt uit op 8 december.
Are you tired of videos and photos of triangles, orbs, triangles made with orbs and other common UFO sighting? Then the past week was a good one for you. In China, thousands of people witnessed what could have been a rocket launch if any rockets had been launched that night. Meanwhile, in France, an outdoor security camera picked up a large green ring in the sky that stayed stationary while clouds seemed to move around it. Have aliens finally updated their equipment?
Let’s start with the luminous green ring since it was so unusual. It was allegedly taken in Saint-Pol-de-Léon, a villa on the northwestern coast of France. From the sole video (see it here) of what was reported to be an all-night phenomena, the glowing circle doesn’t seem to move, not does it reflect on the water below. There are some reports that the orb appeared again the following night on the same camera. With no other videos, no other reports, the orb never moving and disappearing as the sky becomes light, this one seems to be firmly in the camera anomaly zone.
The two-minute light over China (see a video here and photos here) has more substance, at least in numbers of sightings. It was seen the night of October 11 over Beijing, Shanxi province and Inner Mongolia and other areas, with videos and photos popping up on social media almost immediately. This was the same day as the aborted Soyuz launch, but that event occurred three hours before and all debris had fallen from the sky by the time this thing showed up.
After seeing more nighttime launches by both governments and private space companies, most people are getting better at recognizing their glows in the sky and avoid making embarrassing “UFO” or meteor reports. However, this one had movements different than a rocket’s straight-line trajectory that suggest something else. The Chinese government media hinted as such, saying the two-minute flight was made by an undefined high-altitude aircraft, not a rocket.
In the U.S. and Europe, a mysterious high-altitude craft is usually assumed to be the mysterious and unconfirmed TR-3 Black Manta triangular surveillance plane. In China, it’s assumed to be a mysterious hypersonic glide vehicle known as DF-ZF, which will eventually be able to a nuclear payload at Mach 10. Mach 10! It’s not known if it has reached that speed yet but China’s Ministry of National Defense at least confirms its existence and that it has been tested at least 7 – and now possibly 8 – times. The plane is said to be based at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre in Shanxi province, so the location of the recent sighting matches up.
DF-ZF
The orb in France is not, as some speculated, a portal opened by the folks at CERN. While that would be worrisome, it doesn’t exist. The DZ-ZF does. Was its flight on October 11 deliberately scheduled immediately after the Soyuz launch failure so China could show its space capabilities? Was it a threat or a job audition?
Keep watching the skies and have your cellphone ready.
The drone owner was filming with his GoPro Karma Drone at his former home in Clymer, New York, approx. 25 miles East of Lake Erie when he recorded a UFO (Fastwalker).
The UFO is flying toward the drone with an enormous speed.
The drone owner had to slow down the speed to 10% otherwise you cannot see the UFO due to its speed.
It is another proof that these mysterious objects flying through our skies without we seeing them.

Then input data EIT 284 Oct 15, 2018 10:06 I found an earth size UFO near our sun today...how you ask? BECAUSE ITS EARTH SIZE!!! Needles to say, its big. If you use the SOHO earth icon to compare, then its actually a bit bigger than earth, but I want to downsize the fear...and say its earth size. Feel better yet? Gooooooooooood. This UFO is seen on the official NASA-SOHO site using their program. Follow my instructions in the video and you too will see it with your own eyes on their site. How do aliens make something that big? Easy, aliens live forever. They tell a robot to create the spacecraft, tell it the size and requirements. Time is not important in its construction. One robot builds 10 more robots. Those 11 robots build more robots and so on until there is an army of thousand of robots working on getting materials, making tech and putting together this giant ship. Which could take millions of years to finish. But since you don't die, millions of years will pass by fast...so while you are enjoying your life, those little robots of yours are creating a space ship the size of earth. There you have it!

Two Weeks Ago We Also Saw The Same UFO Leaving The Sun!
Eerie footage of a white orb of light flying through the sky has been filmed close to South America's highest monument.
An eyewitness captured the dramatic footage on his phone from the observation windows of the 272-foot Cruz del Tercer Milenio - Third Millennium Cross, in northern Chile.
It appears to show a white ball of light in mid-air flying high over the city which at one point appears to shoot at speed towards the camera in broad daylight.
The clip was later posted on social media and video-sharing platforms where it sparked a lively debate and made national headlines.
The UFO was said to have been spotted in Chile

The sighting has sparked a nationwide debate
(Image: CEN)
Some people were virtually convinced that Chile had been visited by extra-terrestrials while others were equally positive it was just a reflection on the glass of the monument's windows.
One viewer said: "Amazing recording of mysterious light, UFO ", while another added: "Now all the channels are talking about the UFO."
But another said: "It's obviously the flash of the mobile phone," and others agreed: "How ridiculous, it's clearly the mobile phone flash, the man goes closer to the window and the UFO does too."
Chilean ufologist Marco Antonio Gomez, of the Marcc UFO group, called for caution.
He said: "We cannot say that everything we see is a spaceship.
"We see lot of strange things but 99 percent have an explanation - satellites, meteorological phenomenons or human stuff.
"If you see a UFO, stay calm and film it right until the end.
"A lot of videos cut off too soon and that can mean the cause remains unknown."
Mysterious moving white trail over China sparks UFO fear of TOP-SECRET military experiment
Mysterious moving white trail over China sparks UFO fear of TOP-SECRET military experiment
A MYSTERIOUS white light trail has been spotted in four different regions across China, prompting many onlookers to speculate about alien activity or a top-secret military test.
A mysterious UFO has been captured on camera across a huge region of China on Thursday evening, prompting wide-ranging conspiracy theories.
The unusual sight in the night sky was seen by residents of the Chinese capital Beijing, as well as people in the Chongqing reguion, the Shanxi province and Inner Mongolia.
Onlookers posted videos of the bizarre sightings on popular Chinese social media network Weibo.
Footage shows a bright light swirling above several cities, leaving behind a capitivating spiral effect.
The two-minute phenomenon was described by witnesses as a "massive tail" or "artificial light" slowly moving across the sky.
Many argued that it was the result of trails left by a high-altitude aircraft activity.
However, others suggested that the bright light cloud in the sky was confirmation of alien visitation.
One baffled user posted: "Aliens are coming!"

User on Weibo
Another witness referenced last week's Golden Week holiday when posting: "Is the UFO leaving China after celebrating its national holiday?"
More serious speculation was posted by a respected military magazine editor whose user name was Weaponmagazine-Xiaoning.
He suggested the footage was evidence of China's military testing a top secret hypersonic aircraft, DF-ZF - known to US officials as WU-14.
Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson claimed the footage looked like the trail of a rocket motor, similar to the phenomenon seen following a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch on Sunday night.
He said: "In both cases they are night launches where the rocket exhaust gases look very spectacular and can easily make people think this is a UFO."
For the past few years, he has let investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell into his home and life, to tell the full story in a documentary.
And Jeremy, who runs the website Extraordinary Beliefs, told Daily Star Online exclusively: "This is the biggest UFO story of all time.
"This will be the first time he has given his full story.
"He blew the whistle, shocked the world, then went relatively silent, until now
"Over the years, George Knapp would get him to talk for a couple of minutes to remind people of his story. But that’s hard to do. Bob has never liked to be in the public eye.
"In this film Bob has fully opened his life. He’s talking candidly. He has never done anything like this before."

EXPOSED: Bob Lazar gave his story
And The 41-year-old filmmaker admitted the documentary could rustle some feathers in the US government.
He added: "If Bob Lazar is telling the truth, the implications are huge.
"He is telling us that he studied an alien propulsion system for the US military - extraterrestrial spacecrafts. And that the government has been keeping that secret from us."
Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers comes out on December 3 on iTunes and Vimeo.
And Jeremy revealed he is excited to see how people react.

He detailed: "30 years has passed since Bob Lazar came forward to the world.
“It’s amazing what can be learned through the lens of time.
"You will have more footage of Bob Lazar and his testimony overnight than from the last three decades combined.
"Bob Lazar is the Elvis of ufology – people go crazy for him. Yet - he is a reluctant UFO messiah. He doesn’t like the attention.
"Ultimately it's up to individuals if they believe him but the movie will give you so much information to make that choice."

Bob has previously received criticism over his case, after holes appeared in his story.
He claims to hold degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology.
But investigations into his background could not find any records of him ever having attended either institution.
But Jeremy refuses to rule out the possibility of his story being the truth.

In 10 days time, NASA's Parker Solar Probe will embark on an unprecedented journey to the center of the solar system. The probe, destined for the sun, will skim through the sun's atmosphere in the closest flyby around a star to date, marking a historic encounter with the sun's corona.
Scheduled to launch August 11th, 2o18, the Parker Solar Probe will become humanity's first ever mission to visit a star. Inevitably, the probe will endure some of the most extreme conditions ever experienced by a spacecraft; protecting the onboard scientific equipment from the hostile conditions are some of the most sophisticated and robust cooling systems which will prevent the star exploring Parker Solar Probe from melting in the sun's atmosphere.
On its journey, the Parker Solar Probe will provide the first ever close up view of a star as it plunges through the Sun's atmosphere. From a distance of just a few solar radii away (the length of the Sun's radius), the probe will be able to directly observe the sun's atmosphere and grant the opportunity to investigate solar anomalies impossible to witness from the earth.
It will be one of the most autonomous systems ever to be launched and will undoubtedly provide profound and perplexing information about the star at the center of our solar system. But the greatest challenge will be keeping it cool.
The probe has a notable narrow profile and situated in front of most of the craft is a massive 2.5-meter wide heat shield which will keep a majority of the spacecraft out of direct line from the sun. Furthermore, the probe will follow a highly elliptical orbital path which will ensure the spacecraft will not be exposed to the sun long enough to drastically heat it up.
Keeping NASA's Parker Solar Probe Cool in the Sun's Atmosphere
Over the next few months, the Parker Solar Probe will be en route to the sun. The mission is set to last nearly 7 years, and in that time the probe will make 24 close range passes around the sun. It will come closer to the sun than any previous aircraft, and to do so it will employ a combination of thermal protection and cooling systems to keep onboard equipment at nominal operating temperatures.
"Parker Solar Probe will swoop to within 4 million miles of the sun's surface, facing heat and radiation like no spacecraft before it. To get there, it takes an innovative route," claims NASA.
At its nearest perihelion (closest orbit point to the sun), the probe will come seven times closer than any spacecraft before.
The solar probe will enter the sun's coronal plasma - an atmospheric layer comprised of an ionized gas of electrons, protons, and heavy ions. At its perihelion, the Parker Solar Probe will enter a region of space where temperatures can reach over 500,000 degrees Celsius. However, the atmosphere 6 million kilometers above the sun's surface is rather thin and so a minimal amount of energy will be transferred into the probe. While temperatures may be in excess of half a million degrees Celsius, the probe's heat shield will only have to endure temperatures of up to 1,400 degrees Celcius.
Understanding how the probe does not melt from the sun is a matter of differentiating between heat vs temperature. It is the difference between the measure of how fast a particle is moving (the temperature) versus the total energy particles can transfer (heat). While the temperatures surrounding the probe may be hundreds of thousands of degrees, there are few particles to actually transfer much heat at all. Inside the corona, despite having a high temperature, minimal heat will be transferred into the spacecraft itself.
Parker Solar Probe Heat Shield
Taking on the blunt heat of the sun and acting as the first line of defense is Parker Solar Probe's innovative heat shield. It is comprised of an 11 cm thick carbon foam core which is sandwiched between two panels of superheated carbon-carbon composite. On Earth, the foam core is 97% air, making it extremely light while minimizing heat conduction. In its entirety, the heat shield weighs in at approximately 73 kg - about the weight of the average woman.
Since only a minimal amount of heat will be absorbed through the atmosphere, the greatest concern is mitigating the amount of sunlight which is absorbed as heat by the spacecraft.
The sun-facing side of the heat shield features a highly reflective carbon material intended to deflect as much energy as possible back towards the sun. It is painted with a specially formulated white coating capable of reflecting most of the suns rays, specifically ultraviolet, infrared, and most of the visible spectrum of light.
The material is designed not to deteriorate or crack in the extreme heat of the sun on its low pass by, and on the contrary, it is also minimally affected by the extreme cold experienced at the opposing end of its orbit.
“We learned a lot about solar array performance from the [APL-built] MESSENGER spacecraft, which was the first to study Mercury,” said Lockwood. “In particular, we learned how to design a panel that would mitigate degradation from ultraviolet light.”
Despite the heat shield reaching temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees Celcius, the rest of the spacecraft situated behind the shield will remain at nearly room temperature.
"The eight-foot-diameter heat shield will safeguard everything within its umbra, the shadow it casts on the spacecraft. At Parker Solar Probe’s closest approach to the Sun, temperatures on the heat shield will reach nearly 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, but the spacecraft and its instruments will be kept at a relatively comfortable temperature of about 85 degrees Fahrenheit," claims NASA.
Preventing heat from reaching sensitive equipment requires extensive consideration not only of the material used but also how it should be mounted to the spacecraft.
Each point of contact between the heat shield and the rest of the probe creates a pathway for heat to travel; it is imperative to minimize connection points to prevent the transfer of heat through the truss while ensuring the craft remains structurally sound.
To prevent heat from transferring through the probe, the thermal protection system connects to the truss of the Parker Solar Probe at only 6 points, minimizing the transfer of heat to the rest of the spacecraft.
The thermal shield is a phenomenal defense against the extreme light of the sun, however, it is not designed to protect the whole of the craft. Some other systems, like the probe's solar arrays, must be designed in a way which can withstand direct sunlight from just a few solar radii away.
How the Solar Panels will Survive the Inferno
NASA's Parker Solar Probe is entirely dependent on the sun. While its focal mission is to investigate a star at an extremely close range, conducting such an investigation will require power, power which will also be entirely derived from the sun.
For most of the journey, the Parker Solar Probe's solar array will extend in front of the spacecraft directed towards the sun. But on its close approach, the panels will recess behind the heat shield leaving only a small portion of the outermost edges of the solar array to extend beyond the protection of the thermally protective shield. A small portion of the solar panels will always be exposed to the sun to provide the necessary power to the onboard systems.
"Parker Solar Probe is powered by two solar arrays, totaling just under 17 square feet (1.55 square meters) in area. They are mounted to motorized arms that will retract almost all of their surface behind the Thermal Protection System – the heat shield – when the spacecraft is close to the Sun." describes NASA.
The nature of the extreme range of sunlight the probe will be exposed to introduces problems typically not experienced by ground-based solar operations.
With a fixed solar array, on the close approach the sun, the solar panels would generate enough electricity to destroy themselves with heat, not to mention the heat absorbed from the sun itself.
“Unlike solar-powered missions that operate far from the Sun and are focused only on generating power from it, we need to manage the power generated along with the substantial heat that comes from being so close to the Sun,” said Andy Driesman, project manager from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. “When we’re out around the orbit of Venus, we fully extend the arrays to get the power we need. But when we’re near the Sun, we tuck the arrays back until only a small wing is exposed, and that portion is enough to provide needed electrical power.”
Parker Probe Cooling
Without any cooling systems, the solar panels mounted on the Parker Solar Probe would become severely damaged at its closest orbit in the direct light of the sun. Keeping the panels cool is a relatively simple cooling system; a heated tank which keeps the coolant from freezing during launch, two radiators to dissipate heat during close orbit, aluminum fins to maximize the cooling surface, and pumps to circulate the coolant through the system.
The water will be housed separately in a heated container to prevent it from freezing during launch. One in orbit, the water will return to the cooling systems where it will begin to circulate.
In total, the probe will only require a little less than four liters of deionized water to keep the solar panels cool at all times. In operation, the water will be exposed to temperatures varying between 10 C and 125 C - a range beyond what most liquids are capable of handling as effectively as water.
To prevent the water from boiling at its high range peaking of 125 C, the system will be pressurized to raise the boiling point beyond 125 C.
“Part of the NASA technology demonstration funding was used by APL and our partners at UTAS to survey a variety of coolants,” said Lockwood. “But for the temperature range we required, and for the mass constraints, water was the solution.”
The solar panel systems have already proven their competency to withstand the extreme temperatures expected on its journey through the sun's outer atmosphere.
The panels were tested earlier this year by passing a large current through the array, drastically heating them up to simulate what would happen if the panels were to absorb and generate too much energy.
During testing, each solar cell began to glow red, allowing scientists to examine each individual solar cell for potential defects. Fortunately, the array passed the tests and are expected to survive a near direct confrontation with the sun.
Parker Solar Probe Autonomous Control
On Earth, light travels almost instantaneously, making it a rather convenient tool to use in communications and control. Radio controlled devices act almost immediately once a controller is given an input. However, a few million kilometers away, the speed of light begins to create quite an issue.
The Parker Solar Probe will largely be alone for most of its journey. On the far side of the sun, besides a gigantic fusion ball blocking all chance of a signal getting through, any command given to the probe would take as long as 8 minutes to reach the spacecraft. Effectively, if engineers were required to manually control the probe, each input would take 8 minutes before a signal is read. Worsening the problem still is the fact that if the probe is to relay any information back, it will also take 8 minutes to reach the engineers. In effect, it will take 8 minutes for an issue to be reported, and another 8 minutes before it could be manually corrected. In a dire situation in an environment as hostile as the sun, waiting 16 minutes for each command is not an option. So NASA engineers decided to automate all of it.
Several sensors of about the same size of a cellphone are mounted around the body of the spacecraft, as well as along the edge of the heat shield. Should any detector sense direct sunlight, an alert is sent to the central computer of the spacecraft before subsequent corrections are made to realign the craft and keep the rest of the probe safe from the heat of the sun.
This all has to happen without any human intervention, so the central computer software has been programmed and extensively tested to make sure all corrections can be made on the fly." says NASA.
Keeping the Parker Solar Probe from melting in the sun's atmosphere is a daunting challenge backed by a slew of innovative technologies to bring humanity closer to a star than ever before. While it may raise more questions than it answers, scientists are excited about the journey and the knowledge which will undoubtedly be gained. There is still a long way to go, but there is certainly light at the end of the tunnel, and NASA plans on capturing all of it.
HYBRID HUMANS: Author Daniella Fenton claims ancient ETs engineered human race
Ancient astronauts travelled through a "wormhole" in the Pleiades star cluster but couldn't survive on Earth, it's claimed.
Extraterrestrials decided instead to "alter the genetic make up" of early human ancestors so they became more intelligent.
The proof is in the fusion of Chromosome-2 around 780,000 years ago based on the book Hybrid Humans written by Daniella Fenton.
Chromosone-2 is found in all large-brained humans, including Neanderthals and Denisovans, but no other primate species.
"The three species went on to become advanced humans with art, culture and increasingly complex technologies," said Mrs Fenton.
"The fusions site in on an active gene which expresses itself in brain structure, immunity and reproductive functions - important systems for upgrading to a new human species.
"Instead of a small number of humans having the fusion and a large group not having it, instead there was a rapid total replacement with all humans on Earth having 46 rather than 48 chromosomes, this tells us it gave enormous benefits to become so dominant.
"Approximately 800,000 years ago human brain size went into a sudden rapid increase in size and complexity which has long been a mystery to archaeologists."
DANIELLA FENTON
THEORY: Author Daniella Fenton said the DNA of humans changed dramatically due to alien science
She went on: "This was not the only change at this time and two very extraordinary changes are the sudden appearance of miR-941, which played a crucial role in human brain development.
"The gene is highly active in controlling decision-making and enabling language abilities and appeared suddenly formed out of junk DNA."
What Mrs Fenton claims are the "signature of aliens" is dramatic changes to a neocortex gene called ARHGAP11B – associated with sight and hearing in mammals.
The official explanation for Chromosome-2, the second largest in humans, does not involve aliens.
Researcher JW IJdo concluded Chromosome-2 "marks the point at which two ancestral ape chromosomes fused to give rise to human Chromosome-2."

HYBRID HUMANS: The book claims aliens engineered mankind 780,000 years ago
“Approximately 800,000 years ago human brain size went into a sudden rapid increase in size and complexity which has long been a mystery to archaeologists.”
Daniella Fenton
The Australian author, who studied equine genetic and is a spirtualist and certified shaman, claims to have physical evidence to support the ancient alien theory.
Her husband Bruce is also a writer who worked on the research.
They researched a book called Alcheringa which promotes the theory an alien spaceship exploded in our atmosphere hundreds of thousands of years ago and the survivors, who couldn't survive without the mother ship, engineered Homo sapiens.
Mrs Fenton claims the melted wreckage of the crashed craft explains the mysterious Australites tektite buttons, unexplained dark glass objects thought to be ejected in meteorite impacts.
She claimed that geologists have dated the remains of a 1km sized melted object to around 780,000 years ago.
She added: "According to a NASA study the resulting liquid glass (containing around 80% silica from melted quartz crystal) formed spheres in space which then instantly froze and began to fall into our atmosphere.
"As they entered they heated and melted to form unique button shapes before landing right across Australasia.
"These Australite tektite buttons are unique in the 4.5 billion year history of our planet and remain a total mystery to science because they can’t understand how they formed."
The Hybrid Human theory also believes the alien astronauts arrived from the Pleiades star cluster, thought to contain several thousand stars.
It is among the nearest star cluster to Earth and the one which is most visible to the naked eye.
It is believed one planet could exist around the star HD 23514 due to the exceptional number of hot dust particles surrounding it.
Mrs Fenton points to how Pleiades has been referenced repeatedly by various cultures.
She said: "All around the world ancient cultures talk about ancestral beings from the Pleiades and portals that connect those stars with this planet, this includes mythology in Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, American Indians, ancient Egypt, Sumeria and Aboriginal Australia."
Are Aliens in their UFOs paraphysical extradimensional entities?
Are Aliens in their UFOs paraphysical extradimensional entities?
Are Aliens in their UFOs paraphysical extradimensional entities? –
– by Norio Hayakawa,
Personally I believe this to be the case, even though it seems impossible to prove this by science as we understand it.
Therefore this is simply in the realm of personal belief.
I happen to believe in the existence of what I describe as paraphysical extradimensional sentient entities who are capable of temporarily materializing and dematerializing at will to a pre-selected observer or a group of observers (i.e, the “experiencers”) for reasons yet unknown, simply presenting to them as a physical extraterrestrial phenomenon and visitation.
Some people describe them as “interdimensional”, i.e., denoting their ability to interact between their dimension and ours. I like to use the term “extradimensional”, i.e., simply denoting their origin as from outside our physical dimension.
Some researchers point out that these entities with their “UFOs” seem to be able to affect our physical parameters (such as radar, etc.).
However, I personally believe that their intrusion into our physical realm is limited to a very brief period of time (such as a few seconds or a few minutes at a time).
In other words, I am talking about their inability to survive in our physical dimension, except for a very brief period of time.
What are their intentions?
Are some of them benevolent by nature?
Are some of them malevolent?
I have proposed all of the above because, as much as we like to believe, the UFO phenomenon does not seem to represent any conclusive evidence whatsoever of actual physical ET visitations.
So far, there is not a single, physical, tangible, solid as well as credible documentary evidence whatsoever that we have ever been visited by physical extraterrestrial biological entities in any physical extraterrestrial spacecraft of any kind.
The big question is “Are we the only sentient, intelligent physical biological entities in this entire universe?”
Unfortunately, we just do not know yet – – and this is the best answer we can give for right now.
The bottom line is that, so far, we have not come up with any concrete evidence whatsoever that there are intelligent, sentient, physical extraterrestrial biological entities commonly known as “Aliens” anywhere.
But is “life” limited to just physical, sentient, intelligent biological existence in this humongous universe?
Maybe there could be countless number of sentient, paraphysical entities of extradimensional origin in this huge cosmos – – that could include both the benevolent and the malevolent kinds.

Scientists Have Created Shape Shifting Liquid Metal That Can Be Programmed
Scientists Have Created Shape Shifting Liquid Metal That Can Be Programmed
This metal can be applied to many operations in the future, including soft robotics and even flexible computer displays.
By Danielle De La Bastide
In a terrifying breakthrough similar to the metal morphing villain in Terminator 2, scientists at the University of Sussex and Swansea University have discovered a way to apply electrical charges to liquid metal and coax it into 3D shapes such as letters and even a heart.
This discovery has been called an “extremely promising” new kind of material that can be programmed to alter its shape.
Yutaka Tokuda, the Research Associate, working on this project at the University of Sussex, says: “This is a new class of programmable materials in a liquid state which can dynamically transform from a simple droplet shape to many other complex geometry in a controllable manner.
“While this work is in its early stages, the compelling evidence of detailed 2D control of liquid metals excites us to explore more potential applications in computer graphics, smart electronics, soft robotics and flexible displays.”
The scientists used electric fields to shape the liquid; these areas are created by a computer meaning that both the position and form of the liquid metal can be manipulated dynamically.
Professor Sriram Subramanian, head of the INTERACT Lab at the University of Sussex, said: “Liquid metals are an extremely promising class of materials for deformable applications; their unique properties include voltage-controlled surface tension, high liquid-state conductivity and liquid-solid phase transition at room temperature.
One of the long-term visions of us and many other researchers is to change the physical shape, appearance, and functionality of any object through digital control to create intelligent, dexterous and useful objects that exceed the functionality of any current display or robot.”
The research was presented last month at the ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces 2017 conference in Brighton.
Carnegie Mellon Metal Alloy
This development is not the only one to emerge within the science community, research engineers at Carnegie Mellon University have created a new metal alloy that exists in a liquid state at room temperature and can capacitate liquid metal transistors, flexible circuitry and perhaps even self-repairing circuits in the far-flung future.
Created at the Soft Machines Lab at Carnegie Mellon by researchers Carmel Majidi, Michael Dickey, and James Wissman, this alloy is the result of a marrying of indium and gallium. It would only take two drops of this liquid metal to form or break a circuit thereby opening or closing an entry, similar to a traditional transistor.Better yet, it only requires a voltage of 1 - 10 volts.
Electronic Blood
These molten metals or “electronic blood” are set to completely change computing for upcoming generations. IBM has also been developing its own form of electric sustenance since 2013, REPCOOL, or Redox flow electrochemistry for power delivery and cooling, is a project modeled after the structure and power supply of the brain, where our blood capillary system both cools and supplies energy to this vital organ. With electronic blood, the researchers believe the same effect can be applied to overheated computers.
"Compared to today's top computers, however, the human brain is roughly 10,000 times denser and 10,000 times more energy-efficient. The research team believes that their approach could reduce the size of a computer with a performance of 1 petaflop/s from the dimensions of a school classroom to that of an average PC, or in other words to a volume of about 10 liters," said Dr. Bruno Michel from IBM Research.
The first applications of this Electronic Blood should take place in 2030.
An Amateur Astronomer Accidentally Caught The First-Ever Photo of an Exploding Star
"It's like winning the cosmic lottery."
MICHELLE STARR
Even with all the photos that have been taken of space, there are still new things to be seen.
And you don't always need to be a scientist to find them.
The first blooming light of a star that went supernova has been photographed for the first time - by an amateur astronomer testing a new camera.
Victor Buso from Rosario, Argentina has become the first person to ever capture the optical (or visible) light before and after the "shock breakout" of an exploding star.
This is the point right when the star explodes - when the supersonic shockwave from the star's core breaks out of the surface of the star, causing the gas there to heat and brighten very quickly.
In other words, that's the very, very first burst of light from a supernova.
They're super-difficult to capture, because the exact timing of a supernova is impossible to predict, and the shock breakout lasts such a short duration of time.
Astronomers have been chasing the phenomenon for years.
"It's like winning the cosmic lottery," said Alex Filippenko of UC Berkeley, who led a team following up observations of the supernova in the months that followed.
Indeed, obtaining the photographs involved a concatenation of lucky circumstances for Buso.
He was testing his camera on 20 September 2016, mounted on a 40-centimetre (16-inch) telescope.
To do this, he picked spiral galaxy NGC 613, located at a distance of about 80 million light-years away in the southern constellation Sculptor - a nice target because it was directly overhead.
Over the course of about one and a half hours, he took pictures of the galaxy at 20 seconds of exposure time, to avoid saturation by nearby city lights. During the first 20 minutes, the photos all appeared the same.
But then Buso noticed something - a single brightening point of light at the end of one of the spiral galaxy's arms.
It wasn't long before astronomers learned of the find, and realised that Buso had captured something extraordinary.

According to the researchers, the chances of such a discovery are one in 10 million - maybe even one in 100 million.
"Buso's data are exceptional," Filippenko said. "This is an outstanding example of a partnership between amateur and professional astronomers."
The research team used the Lick and Keck observatories to monitor the supernova, since named SN 2016gkg, for two months following Buso's discovery.
Spectral data revealed it to be a Type IIb supernova - a massive star that has already lost most of its mass prior to exploding.
The team calculated that SN 2016gkg started at around 20 times the mass of our Sun and lost three quarters of its mass, possibly to a companion star.
By the time it went supernova, it had shrunk down to around 5 solar masses.
The long-sought visual data will help astronomers find out more information about a star's structure just before it explodes, as well as information about the explosion itself.
"Professional astronomers have long been searching for such an event," Filippenko said.
"Observations of stars in the first moments they begin exploding provide information that cannot be directly obtained in any other way."
The research has been published in Nature, with Buso as one of the co-authors.
A space capsule carrying 2 passengers failed during launch, Apollo 7 celebrated its 50th anniversary and 2 missions are getting ready for upcoming target arrivals. These are just some of the top stories this week from Space.com.

1. Crew capsule fails during launch
A Russian Soyuz rocket was beginning its journey to the International Space Station when the spacecraft failed during its ascent on Thursday (Oct. 11). The passengers — Russian cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin and US astronaut Nick Hague — are in good condition after the malfunction sent the capsule falling back to Earth in a steep re-entry.
A spacecraft at the end of our solar system fired its engines briefly on Oct. 3 to speed up towards Ultima Thule, an object found far away in the Kuiper Belt. This is the first maneuver by NASA's New Horizons mission in which it used its own photos to make small path corrections to help arrive at the distant target.
The 50th anniversary of the first crewed Apollo flight happened on Thursday (Oct. 11). In addition to providing a crucial milestone for the program and the subsequent moon landing months later, Apollo 7 was also the first time humans broadcast live footage from space.
Researchers now say that the largest body in the asteroid belt — a dwarf planet named Ceres — experienced "true polar wander." In this phenomenon, the surface of a celestial body drifts over what lies beneath it, because the outer and inner parts of the dwarf planet spin at different rates.
Expert scientists came together to reflect on the field of astrobiology and published a paper on Wednesday (Oct. 10) with recommendations for NASA. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine gathered the panel together, and among many other things, their report emphasized a key challenge: identifying biosignatures, or the chemical changes that characterize life.
SpaceX made its first rocket landing on the West Coast this week. A Falcon 9 rocket launched from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base on Oct. 7 and brought an Argentine satellite into orbit.
NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission is scheduled to arrive at its target, asteroid Bennu, this December. The spacecraft performed a slowdown maneuver on Oct. 1 to reach it, and should be travelling at one-third of its previous speed as a result.
NASA released a statement on Oct. 8 saying that it expects the Hubble Space Telescope to start working again soon. Last weekend the space agency announced the probe was in safe-mode because of a failure in one of the telescope's steering mechanisms.
The two-stage Space Launch System megarocket is slated to perform a lot of future exploration for NASA. But a new report said the project is behind schedule and several billion dollars over budget.
The U.S. Air Force recently awarded a total of about $2 billion to 3 aerospace companies: Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance and Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems. The contracts are in place to bring about competitive launch system prototypes that would support the transport of national security payloads.
Here's What the Failed Soyuz Rocket Launch Looked Like to an Astronaut in Space
Here's What the Failed Soyuz Rocket Launch Looked Like to an Astronaut in Space
By Meghan Bartels, Space.com Senior Writer
Current International Space Station Cmdr. Alexander Gerst expected to be welcoming two additional crewmembers to the orbiting laboratory Thursday (Oct. 11) — but instead, he found himself photographing their failed launch.
NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin launched aboard a Soyuz rocket at about 4:47 a.m. EDT (0847 GMT) from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. But just a couple of minutes after liftoff, a failure in the rocket's booster triggered a ballistic re-entry for the pair of would-be space travelers. Investigations into the Soyuz launch failure will be performed by NASA and the Russian space agency Roscosmos. [In Photos: The Harrowing Soyuz Launch Abort in Pictures]
The astronauts landed safely and were picked up by a search-and-rescue team that was deployed as part of standard launch procedure.
Although the dramatic launch barely made it to space before the capsule tumbled back to Earth, it was certainly visible from space. Gerst was able to spot the rocket's climb from on board its hoped-for destination, capturing a majestic streak of white piercing Earth's atmosphere.
"Glad our friends are fine," Gerst wrote in a statement accompanying the image. "Thanks to the rescue force of over 1,000 search-and-rescue professionals! Today showed again what an amazing vehicle the Soyuz is to be able to save the crew from such a failure. Spaceflight is hard. And we must keep trying for the benefit of humankind."
Gerst and his colleagues on the space station were alerted to the launch failure and the safe landing of Hague and Ovchinin in a call from mission control management on the ground. Their schedule was adjusted because they didn't need to help new crewmembers acclimate to the station.
The three astronauts currently in orbit are due to return to Earth and be replaced by a new trio of astronauts in December. However, it's not yet clear how schedules will be adjusted to reflect Thursday's failed launch to ensure continuous staffing of the orbiting laboratory.
You’ll never guess what scientists call the moons of moons — well, you probably would. It’s submoons, but NewScientist’s Leah Carey has a better idea: moonmoons.
Saturn’s moon Iapetus might, in theory, have its own submoon.
Moonmoons
We know that moons orbit planets, planets orbit stars, stars orbit the center of the galaxy, and even galaxies sometimes orbit each other. But are moons also orbited by something, and if yes, then what do you call these objects?
In a new analysis published in arXiv, Juna Kollmeier at Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, California, and Sean Raymond at the University of Bordeaux,
“Each of the giant planets within the Solar System has large moons but none of these moons have their own moons (which we call submoons).”
The problem with (ahem) ‘submoons’ is that we’ve never seen one. There doesn’t seem to be one in the solar system, or at least we haven’t seen it yet.
“In all known planetary systems, natural satellites occur in a restricted dynamical phase space: planets orbit stars and moons orbit planets. It is natural to ask, can submoons orbit moons? If so, why don’t any of the known moons of the Solar System have their own submoons?”
But this, Kollmeier and Raymond argue, doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.
Could Earth's moon have its own moon? Science says: in theory.

Goldilocks moons
The biggest problem with such objects would be the moon’s planet. Moons are much smaller than their host planets, and therefore they have a much much smaller gravitational pull. If the moon would be too close to the planet, it would risk losing its submoon to the planet’s tidal force; if it would be too far, it might simply not be able to hold its submoon, which could shoot off in space.
So the conditions have to be just right, but they are possible, according to the researchers’ calculations. In theory, the Earth’s moon could have its own submoon, as could Saturn’s moons Titan and Iapetus and Jupiter’s moon Callisto. Except they don’t. So we might have to wait a bit before we can validate the theory.
But if we do identify submoons, it would do much more than just fulfill a stellar curiosity — it could help us learn more about how these systems, and the host planets, form in the first place.
“[..] the absence of submoons around known moons and exomoons where submoons can survive provides important clues to the formation mechanisms and histories of these systems. Further studies of the potential formation mechanisms, long-term dynamical survival, and detectability of submoons is encouraged.”
Regarding the name for these hypothesized objects, researchers would like to stick to ‘submoons’ — but that doesn’t mean they don’t like the alternatives. Taking to Twitter, Kollmeier says she’s also happy with some alternatives, including moonmoon. So as far as I’m concerned, moonmoons are now a thing.
Juna A. Kollmeier@thejunaverse
If you ask me, they are "Submoons" (hence the title of our article!!!) But the internet has brought forth a wide variety of names and associated joy and for this, I'm delighted: Moonlet, Moonmoon, Moonito, Moonette, Moonlet, Grandmoon, Metamoon...#letsasklevi

Although we’ve yet to find life outside planet Earth, astrobiology has certainly come a long way in the past decade alone. Our once crude assumptions are now more finessed and, thanks to the Kepler Space Telescope, we now know of thousands of exoplanets, some potentially habitable and only a couple light-years away. Bearing recent developments in mind, a new congressionally mandated report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine outlines some of the key steps NASA needs to take in order to bring alien hunting to the next level.
A plan to hunt alien life
The 196-page report starts by making a point of the fact that recent scientific advances have provided opportunities to strengthen the role of astrobiology in NASA. For instance, NASA’s Curiosity rover and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) have found evidence of organic molecules, atmospheric methane, briny surface water, and even an underground Martian lake filled with liquid water. Elsewhere, on Saturn’s moons Enceladus and Europa, scientists found evidence of plumes that shoot up hundreds of miles and which contain water and other organic compounds. In fact, it’s Europa — and not Mars — that is the most promising place where scientists think we’ll find life outside our planet.
It was also recently that biologists found strange Earth lifeforms which live deep underwater or underground, with no direct contact with the sun’s energy input. This means that life may be less capricious than once thought.
The committee that authored the new report, which is chaired by the University of Toronto’s Barbara Sherwood Lollar, claims that we need to expand our search for biosignatures. To this aim, they propose compiling a more “sophisticated catalog and framework will be important to enhance our ability to detect both life that might be similar to terrestrial life, and potential life that differs from life as we know it.”
In particular, the authors of the report call for NASA to focus on exploring the possibility of finding life below the surface of a planet or moon. They also recommend that NASA seeks to deploy better technologies, such as powerful telescopes and starlight-blocking instruments capable of more complex probing of alien planets.
But accurately finding and interpreting biosignatures will be a challenge. For instance, many biosignatures can be produced by abiotic chemical reactions. Methane is often touted as an important byproduct of biological activity, but it could very well be produced by non-biological processes.
The James Webb Space Telescope (artist's concept above) will be one of the primary instruments scientists use to continue the search for planets outside our solar system.

The report is also careful to mention how such an ambitious mission is actually a planetary goal. NASA needs to build or strengthen collaborations with other institutions and private organizations, the authors note.
Along with a similar survey of exoplanets released last month, the new report will be included into two decadal surveys covering astronomy, astrophysics, and planetary sciences. These decadal surveys ought to form the backbone of NASA’s decision-making process about which missions to pursue or prioritize.
Stephen Hawking warned superhumans would use gene editing to take over.
The late physicist Stephen Hawking’s last writings predict that a breed of superhumans will take over, having used genetic engineering to surpass their fellow beings.
In Brief Answers to the Big Questions, to be published on Oct. 16 and excerpted today in the UK’s Sunday Times (paywall), Hawking pulls no punches on subjects like machines taking over, the biggest threat to Earth, and the possibilities of intelligent life in space.
Artificial Intelligence
Hawking delivers a grave warning on the importance of regulating AI, noting that “in the future AI could develop a will of its own, a will that is in conflict with ours.” A possible arms race over autonomous-weapons should be stopped before it can start, he writes, asking what would happen if a crash similar to the 2010 stock market Flash Crash happened with weapons. He continues:
In short, the advent of super-intelligent AI would be either the best or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity. The real risk with AI isn’t malice, but competence. A super-intelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren’t aligned with ours we’re in trouble. You’re probably not an evil ant-hater who steps on ants out of malice, but if you’re in charge of a hydroelectric green-energy project and there’s an anthill in the region to be flooded, too bad for the ants. Let’s not place humanity in the position of those ants.
Earth’s bleak future, gene editing, and superhumans
The bad news: At some point in the next 1,000 years, nuclear war or environmental calamity will “cripple Earth.” However, by then, “our ingenious race will have found a way to slip the surly bonds of Earth and will therefore survive the disaster.” The Earth’s other species probably won’t make it, though.
The humans who do escape Earth will probably be new “superhumans” who have used gene editing technology like CRISPR to outpace others. They’ll do so by defying laws against genetic engineering, improving their memories, disease resistance, and life expectancy, he says
Hawking seems curiously enthusiastic about this final point, writing, “There is no time to wait for Darwinian evolution to make us more intelligent and better natured.”
Once such superhumans appear, there are going to be significant political problems with the unimproved humans, who won’t be able to compete. Presumably, they will die out, or become unimportant. Instead, there will be a race of self-designing beings who are improving themselves at an ever-increasing rate. If the human race manages to redesign itself, it will probably spread out and colonise other planets and stars.
Intelligent life in space
Hawking acknowledges there are various explanations for why intelligent life hasn’t been found or has not visited Earth. His predictions here aren’t so bold, but his preferred explanation is that humans have “overlooked” forms of intelligent life that are out there.
Does God exist?
No, Hawking says.
The question is, is the way the universe began chosen by God for reasons we can’t understand, or was it determined by a law of science? I believe the second. If you like, you can call the laws of science “God”, but it wouldn’t be a personal God that you would meet and put questions to.
The biggest threats to Earth
Threat number one one is an asteroid collision, like the one that killed the dinosaurs. However, “we have no defense” against that, Hawking writes. More immediately: climate change. “A rise in ocean temperature would melt the ice caps and cause the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide,” Hawking writes. “Both effects could make our climate like that of Venus with a temperature of 250C.”
The best idea humanity could implement
Nuclear fusion power. That would give us clean energy with no pollution or global warming.
