Geen warmtebronnen te vinden nabij vermeende waterpluimen op maan Europa
Geen warmtebronnen te vinden nabij vermeende waterpluimen op maan Europa
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Het roept de vraag op of die waterpluimen dan überhaupt wel bestaan.
Onderzoekers weten al langer dat Saturnus’ maan Enceladus waterpluimen genereert. En op de plek waar die waterpluimen ontstaan, vinden we een duidelijke temperatuurverhoging: een hotspot. Aangenomen wordt dat de maan – die opgebouwd is uit een rotsachtige kern met daarboven een oceaan en daar weer boven een ijskorst – over hydrothermale bronnen beschikt die de ijskorst op sommige plekken dunner maakt en zelfs laat scheuren. Door die scheuren zou waterdamp – afkomstig uit die oceaan – ontsnappen (zie afbeelding hieronder).
Hydrothermale bronnen zouden aan de waterpluimen op Enceladus ten grondslag liggen.

Europa De laatste jaren vinden onderzoekers steeds meer aanwijzingen dat Enceladus niet de enige maan in ons zonnestelsel is die over dergelijke geisers beschikt. Ook Europa – een maan van Jupiter – zou waterpluimen genereren. Zo maakte Hubble in 2016 foto’s van Europa waarop mogelijk waterpluimen te zien zijn. En recent dachten onderzoekers ook in oude data – verzameld tijdens de Galileo-missie – aanwijzingen te zien voor de aanwezigheid van waterpluimen.
Niets bijzonders Wetenschappers hebben zich nu nog eens over die vermeende waterpluimen op Europa gebogen en gekeken of er ook op de plek waar deze pluimen zouden ontstaan, sprake is van een temperatuurverhoging. Ze bogen zich daartoe opnieuw over data verzameld tijdens de Galileo-missie (Galileo bestudeerde Jupiter en zijn manen tussen december 1995 tot september 2003). “Een nieuwe analyse van de temperatuurgegevens die tijdens de Galileo-missie werden verzameld, laat niets bijzonders zien op de plekken waar de pluimen mogelijk zijn waargenomen,” vertelt onderzoeker Julie Rathbun. “Dat is verrassend, omdat de Enceladus-pluimen duidelijk gepaard gaan met een verhoogde temperatuur.”
Implicaties Maar wat betekent dat dan precies? “Het suggereert dat de pluimen of Europa óf heel anders zijn óf slechts incidenteel opduiken óf dat ze niet bestaan óf dat de lokale temperatuurverhoging zo klein is dat we die in de huidige data niet opmerken.”
Hoe het precies zit? Daarvoor zouden we Europa eigenlijk van wat dichterbij moeten kunnen bekijken. Gelukkig worden daar plannen voor gesmeed. Zo wil ESA in 2022 de JUpiter ICy moons Explorer(kortweg JUICE) lanceren. Deze zou zeven jaar later bij Jupiter arriveren en specifiek onderzoek gaan doen naar Europa, Callisto en Ganymedes. Ondertussen werkt NASA aan de Europa Clipper: een missie die ergens tussen 2022 en 2025 werkelijkheid moet worden en moet uitzoeken of Europa geschikt is voor leven.

In dit actieve stervormingsgebied gebeurt van alles.
ESO heeft een bijzondere foto vrijgegeven van het actieve stervormingsgebied NGC 2467. Op de foto is goed de grote, grijzende mond van het doodshoofd te zien, waar dit stervormingsgebied bekend om staat. De foto is gemaakt met het FORS-instrument van de Very Large Telescope.
Het actieve stervormingsgebied NGC 2467. Op deze foto is alleen de gapende mond van de Doodshoofd-met-gekruiste-beenderen-nevel te zien.
Afbeelding: ESO
Schedel Het stervormingsgebied heeft de bijnaam ‘Doodshoofd-met-gekruiste-beenderen-nevel’. En op zich is dat niet zo heel verwonderlijk. De jonge, heldere formatie heeft namelijk veel weg van een menselijke schedel; zo is er – in een uitgezoomde weergave – een dreigend hol gezicht met een gapende mond te zien.
Schip NGC 2467 verschuilt zich in het sterrenbeeld Puppis – ofwel Achtersteven – dat verwijst naar het verhoogde achterste deel van een schip. Samen met de sterrenbeelden Carina (Kiel), Pyxis (Kompas) en Vela (zeilen) maakt Puppis deel uit van een groep die aan de zuidelijke hemel te zien is. Samen vormden zij het voormalige sterrenbeeld Argo Navis (Schip Argo). In zekere zin maakt NGC 2467 dus deel uit van een enorm piratenschip, een gepast onderkomen voor de Doodshoofd-met-gekruiste-beenderen-nevel.
Deze kaart toont de locatie van NGC 2467 in het sterrenbeeld Puppis.
Afbeelding: ESO, IAU and Sky & Telescope
Sterrenhopen Hoewel het lijkt alsof er een open sterrenhoop te zien is, bestaat NGC 2467 eigenlijk uit meerdere nevels. Toevallig lijken deze nevels vanuit de aarde gezien op één lijn te staan, waardoor het de illusie wekt dat het om één sterrenhoop gaat. Daarnaast is NGC 2467 erg actief; zo worden er in de kleurrijke nevel talloze nieuwe sterren geboren als gevolg van een overmaat van waterstofgas.
Hoewel de foto voor astronomen niets nieuws vertelt, levert het ons wel een prachtig plaatje op dat zowel onheilspellend als mooi is. Daarnaast krijgen we een bijzonder inkijkje in de kolkende zuidelijke hemel.
NASA ziet ene na andere ruimtemissie in de problemen komen
NASA ziet ene na andere ruimtemissie in de problemen komen

Na Hubble, Opportunity, Curiosity en Kepler is ook ruimteobservatorium Chandra tijdelijk uit de running.
Het ruimteobservatorium ging eind vorige week opeens in veiligheidsmodus, zo laat NASA in een korte verklaring weten. Onduidelijk is nog waarom.
Veiligheidsmodus Wanneer Chandra in veiligheidsmodus gaat, verandert de oriëntatie van het observatorium, waardoor de zonnepanelen de maximale hoeveelheid zonlicht opvangen. Ook wordt de belangrijkste hardware ontlast. Voor zover we nu weten, is Chandra succesvol in veiligheidsmodus gegaan en functioneren alle systemen zoals men in zo’n situatie zou verwachten.
Gyroscoop Tot zover het goede nieuws. Het slechte nieuws is namelijk dat NASA nog niet weet waarom het observatorium uit de running is gegaan. Mogelijk is het het resultaat van een probleem met een gyroscoop. Vervolgonderzoek moet dat uitwijzen.
Negentien jaar Chandra is in zekere zin al ver over de datum; oorspronkelijk had de missie maar vijf jaar moeten duren. Maar inmiddels is Chandra al negentien jaar actief. Toch verwachtte NASA tot voor kort dat het observatorium zeker nog een aantal jaren mee zou kunnen.
Chandra is niet het enige zorgenkindje van NASA. Al enkele maanden zijn er grote zorgen omtrent Marsrover Opportunity waarvan nog altijd onduidelijk is of deze de heftige stofstorm op Mars heeft overleefd. En ook Marsrover Curiosity is nog herstellende van technische problemen. Ook heeft NASA al enkele maanden de handen vol aan Kepler; de planetenjager loopt op zijn laatste benen en heeft er zo langzamerhand een gewoonte van gemaakt om in slaapstand te gaan. En vorige week werd duidelijk dat ook ruimtetelescoop Hubble met technische mankementen kampt. Eind vorige week was er temidden van al die tegenslagen gelukkig ook een beetje goed nieuws. Zo is het NASA gelukt om Kepler wakker te maken en zover te krijgen dat deze het laatste beetje data dat tijdens de laatste waarneemrun is verzameld, gaat downloaden.
Update (16 oktober) Inmiddels is duidelijk wat er met Chandra aan de hand is: er is inderdaad iets mis met één van de gyroscopen. NASA verwacht in staat te zijn om een andere gyroscoop in te schakelen en het falende exemplaar voorlopig op de reservebank te zetten. Naar verwachting kan Chandra tegen het eind van deze week weer aan de slag.
This Hunk of Metal Fell From Space and Landed in California
This Hunk of Metal Fell From Space and Landed in California
By Rafi Letzter, Live Science Staff Writer
What would you do if you saw this thing in your walnut orchard?

A walnut farmer in central California found a strange metal object in his orchard on Oct. 13.
He called the local sheriff's office, according to a KGET report. The sheriffs reached out to Vandenberg Air Force Base, and experts there reportedly said the burnt husk was likely a fuel tank from an Iridium communications satellite. Specifically, it came from Iridium 70, which according to the satellite tracking site n2yo.com fell out of its orbit three days earlier, on Oct. 10.
Iridium 70 was part of a constellation of communications satellites first launched in the late 1990s. This one, according to Astronautix.com, rode a Delta 7920-10C rocket into space on May 17, 1998 along with Iridiums 72, 73, 74 and 75. (Coincidentally, the launch site was Vandenberg Air Force Base.) Of those satellites, only Iridium 73 is still in orbit.
Iridium 70 hung in low-Earth orbit for 20 years, 4 months and 23 days; and for its operational lifetime, it supported satellite phone calls on the global Iridium network. According to KGET, this is the first piece recovered from an Iridium satellite after re-entry. As Live Science has previously reported, it's wildly unlikely that any given de-orbiting object will drop significant debris on land, let alone anywhere where the debris might be recognized.
Though photographs may present the barren landscapes of Antarctica as eerily calm and peaceful, at least when no storms are raging, the largely lifeless continent and the ice shelves surrounding it produce a medley of bizarrely beautiful sounds. As noted by Earther, the frozen region’s ambient sounds include the Rice Crispies-like crackle of melting ice releasing long-trapped air bubbles to the steady groans, screeches, and pops of massive floating ice sheets shifting and breaking apart as they buckle under the weight of fresh snow in the winter or melt during the summer.
The only catch is that you might not be able to hear all the notes in this spectacular natural symphony if you’re listening with human ears, because many occur on timescales or at frequencies that are not compatible with our auditory abilities. But if you have the right equipment to first capture and then remix the acoustic waves, a whole new soundtrack can be revealed. On top of being really cool to listen to, these recordings help scientists better understand the climatological and geologic processes that shape the Antarctic.
In an astounding new example, a team led by Julien Chaput of Colorado State University and the University of Texas, have revealed how the "songs" created by vibrations in the Ross Ice Shelf can be used to continuously monitor the changing conditions within the ice mass' top five meters (16.4 feet).
“Deploying sensitive seismographs across Earth’s largest ice shelf (the Ross Ice Shelf) for 2 years, we discovered that the shelf nearly continuously sings at frequencies of five or more cycles per second, excited by local and regional winds blowing across its snow dune-like topography,” they wrote in their paper, now published inGeophysical Research Letters. “We find that the frequencies and other features of this singing change, both as storms alter the snow dunes and during a (January 2016) warming event that resulted in melting in the ice shelf’s near surface.”
The Texas-sized ice shelf floats on the Southern Ocean, fused to the mainland off western Antarctica. From this position, the shelf – itself composed of glacier ice that spilled out from the interior of the landmass – acts as a buttress to lessen the flow of ice melt that occurs each warm season. Climate change-driven increases in temperatures have already caused other ice shelves to thin and recede, resulting in sea level rise from unblocked glacier drainage. Currently holding back enormous glaciers that would contribute 5 meters (16.4 feet) of sea level rise if introduced into the water, researchers are anxious for ways to measure the integrity of the Ross Ice Shelf.
As part of that endeavor, Chaput and his colleagues had buried 34 extremely sensitive seismographs under the snow on the ice’s surface and analyzed the vibrations recorded between late 2014 and early 2017.

Soon into the project, the team realized that the snowy coating on the shelf is, in fact, vibrating nearly constantly from the effects of heating and wind. And, similar to a musical instrument, different tones are created when different forces act upon it.
"It's kind of like you're blowing a flute, constantly, on the ice shelf," Chaput said in a statement. "Either you change the velocity of the snow by heating or cooling it, or you change where you blow on the flute, by adding or destroying dunes," he said. "The response of the ice shelf tells us that we can track extremely sensitive details about it."
Mercury capsule exhibit to preview Cosmosphere satellite location
Mercury capsule exhibit to preview Cosmosphere satellite location
The Mercury spacecraft "Liberty Bell 7," seen here on exhibit at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas, will be the early centerpiece of a new exhibit at the museum's satellite location in Overland Park opening in February 2019. µ
(Cosmosphere)
— The historic capsule that carried the second American to fly into space is set to land in the second most populous city in Kansas in early 2019.
"Liberty Bell 7," the Mercury spacecraft that was piloted by NASA astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom on a 1961 suborbital spaceflight, will be the early centerpiece of a new exhibit by Cosmosphere Innovation Space at Bluhawk in Overland Park. The Innovation Space is the planned satellite facility for the Cosmosphere International SciEd Center and Space Museum in Hutchinson, Kansas, which hosts the largest combined collection of U.S. and Russian space artifacts in the world.
Bluhawk is a $750 million, 277-acre mixed-use development that in addition to the Cosmosphere will feature an indoor multi-sport complex, hotel and restaurant and retail marketplace.
"We have an exceptional plan that meets the needs of Cosmosphere, Bluhawk and the public, which is eager to see tremendous exhibits like Liberty Bell 7 as soon as possible," said Jim Remar, president and CEO of the Cosmosphere, in a statement. "Opening a temporary Cosmosphere location in early 2019 is a big win for all parties as we continue forward with the plans for our satellite location."

Launched on July 21, 1961 on Grissom's 15-minute Mercury-Redstone 4 mission, Liberty Bell 7 sank due to a premature hatch jettison soon after splashing down. It remained on the ocean floor for 38 years until July 1999, when it was recovered by a private expedition organized by Discovery Channel and the Cosmosphere. The museum's SpaceWorks division restored the spacecraft before sending it on a six-year nationwide tour.
Liberty Bell 7 is slated to return from Indiana to the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson in mid-December.
The capsule's new temporary exhibition will give visitors to Bluhawk the chance to learn more about space history and the role the Mercury spaceflights played in the United States winning the space race with the former Soviet Union.
"We are very pleased that Overland Park residents and visitors will have an early look at this historic exhibit and others," said Doug Price, president of Price Brothers, the developer of Bluhawk. "This new exhibition is a great venue for the Cosmosphere to test new ideas while we are developing extensive plans for its new satellite location."
The Liberty Bell 7 exhibit at Bluhawk is scheduled to open in February 2019. It will be followed a few months later by an exhibit devoted to Mission Control, featuring consoles restored by the Cosmosphere and used in the filming of the movie "First Man." Other displays are anticipated to rotate on a regular basis.

Cosmosphere Innovation Space is planned as a 60,000 square foot facility located at 159th Street and U.S. Highway 69 in Overland Park. The Bluhawk site is not intended as a substitute for the Hutchinson museum, but will expose more people to the Cosmosphere brand, allow them to experience the SciEd Center's approach to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and see artifacts currently not on display due to space limitations.
Cosmosphere Innovation Space is part of the first phase of Bluhawk, scheduled to break ground in 2019 and open the following year.
La NASA cacherait, aux yeux du monde, l’existence de la vie sur Mars. Récemment, une énorme explosion s’est produite sur la planète rouge, ravivant de nombreuses théories …
La NASA a été au centre de nombreuses théorie du complot au cours de ces derniers mois. En septembre, le Rover Curiosity, de l’agence spatiale américaine, a subi une mystérieuse anomalie qui a provoqué une panne complète de son système.
Quant au rover Mars Opportunity, il est hors ligne depuis des mois après qu'une énorme tempête de poussière ait envahi la planète rouge à la fin du printemps.
Après cette multitude de pannes, toutes plus étranges les unes que les autres, une activité étrange a été photographiée à la surface de la planète rouge.
Une série de clichés semble montrer un panache de fumée provenant peut-être d'un volcan à la surface de la planète rouge. Toutefois, aucun rapport de la NASA n’y fait référence.
Les théoriciens du complot pensent que la vérité est soigneusement dissimulée au monde entier.
Tyler Glockner a utilisé sa chaîne YouTube pour informer ses abonnés de cette nouvelle sensationnelle. Sa vidéo a déjà enregistré plus de 320 000 visites.
«Il y a eu une explosion - je ne sais pas s'il s'agissait d'un volcan ou de quelque chosed’autrequi a explosé», a-t-il déclaré sur sa chaîne baptisée secureteam10.
Les internautes qui suivent cet ufologue semblent être d’accord avec lui.
« Le gouvernement doit commencer à dire la vérité sur ce qui se passevraimentdans l'espace », affirme l’un d’eux.
Un autre a ajouté : « Si cela estvéridique, cela pourrait être énorme - je pensais que Marsn’avait aucune activité volcanique. »
Un troisième s'est écrié : « La NASA n'adéfinitivementplus aucune crédibilité ».
Ces images constituent-elles une preuve que Mars est habitée par une quelconque civilisation ? Ce genre d’hypothèse semble difficile à croire et pourtant ces images ne peuvent que nous faire douter …
Conspiracy theorists went into overdrive after spotting a ‘mysterious plume of smoke’ near a dormant Martian volcano, with many claiming this as proof that alien life exists on the red planet and we’re being lied to here on Earth.
Allegations of a NASA-led cover up spread like wildfire online, with popular conspiracy theory YouTube channel secureteam10 producing an eight-minute long exposé entitled, ‘Something MAJOR Happened On Mars.. Are They Hiding It?’
"There was an explosion – I don't know whether it was a volcano or something detonated," Tyler Glockner of secureteam10 told his audience, during a video which has amassed almost 390,000 views since publication on October 20.
One commenter on the video drew upon his welding experience to lay bare the terraforming operations already underway on Mars, citing craters formed by lightning strikes as evidence of alien technology reshaping the planet’s atmosphere. “Too many coincidences here to ignore any more. NASA needs to stop being the police of the scientific community.”
“NASA is a BS agency, staffed by self-sanctimonious liars. Mars is a living planet, as anyone who has studied Mars for the last 50 years [knows],” another commenter agreed.
This secureteam10 video was then picked up by a British tabloid, which fanned the conspiratorial flames while connecting the disparate dots of NASA’s clever ruse: the Mars Curiosity Rover suffered a mysterious glitch, rendering it offline for months after a huge dust storm in late Spring; the Hubble and Chandra telescopes were recently put in “safe mode” allowing for only basic functionality; and NASA was conspicuously silent about the 2,000km-long plume of smoke stretching across Martian skies. Wake up, sheeple!

Reddit was also abuzz, though the comments were more climatological than conspiratorial, discussing atmospheric conditions that might lead to such cloud formations. To spoil the fun and settle the debate, RT.com contacted the ESA for an explanation of the contentious images of the red planet.
“No ground or space based observations of Mars or its atmosphere have produced any credible evidence for active volcanism occurring in the present day or recent history,” party-pooper and planetary scientist Elliot Sefton-Nash, who works on several ESA projects including Mars Sample Return, ExoMars and Mars Express, told RT.com.
“Observations made on 24th September by the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) aboard ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, show a cloud oriented approximately east-west and around ~2,000km long, as well as the shadow that it cast onto the Martian surface below.”
“Clouds are known to form seasonally in this region, and are associated with the volcanoes because their topography influences atmospheric conditions,” he continues. “This is a well documented phenomenon and several scientific articles exist documenting and explaining the process and highlight the seasonal regularity of the occurrence in this region.”
For comparison, Sefton-Nash highlighted a very similar cloud caused by these topographical forces at Arsia Mons, observed in 2015 (in higher resolution) by the Indian Mars Orbiter Mission.
Right now, the ESA is concentrating on Mercury, which is posing some interesting questions about the formation of our Solar System.
"We have a problem with #Mercury..." because it’s falling out of our overall understanding of the Solar System. We don't understand how such a planet could have formed and evolved, so we not only need to send outstanding instruments there: we send a full laboratory #BepiColombo
Something Big Is Coming! NASA's Planetary Defense Budget Suddenly Increased
Something Big Is Coming! NASA's Planetary Defense Budget Suddenly Increased
Recent developments at NASA have revealed that the proposed budget for NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination office (PDCO) has increased by 90 million dollars.
Our current political climate consists of a budget that is stretched to its’ maximum. This fact about the current budget makes this significant increase for the PDCO a strange occurrence. The PDCO is only two years old and oversees finding near-Earth objects such as asteroids that could cause harm to the planet. The PDCO is important because one hit from an asteroid could significantly damage Earth and its’ inhabitants. In years past, NASA has consistently stated that there is no serious threat. This significant increase in the budget brings into question this assumption.
Humanity is unprepared for a catastrophic event
A recent Politico article stated that the Trump administration increased the PDCO budget because humanity is unprepared for a catastrophic event, such as an asteroid impact. The significant increase is, according to the Trump administration, a defensive measure rather than a reaction to an imminent threat.
According to NASA, there are more than 25,000 asteroids near us of 140 meters in size at a minimum. Additionally, there are plenty of other near-Earth objects that could be a threat to our planet. The PDCO has stated that it plans to be prepared in case an object is threatening.
Russia: Asteroid will surely hit Earth sometime in the 2030s
The asteroid Apophis was discovered on June 19, 2004.
NASA has insisted there is no current threat to be worried about. The PDCO states that such an event would, however, be devastating, and that preparation is vital to ward off an attack or to prepare government agencies and the public if such a threat cannot be stopped. For example, the head of the Russian space agency has recently stated that a large asteroid named Apophis will surely hit Earth sometime in the 2030s. The PDCO recognizes this and asserts that now is the time to either stop this asteroid from hitting Earth, or to be prepared when it does.
Does the shutdown of multiple satellite telescopes and earthbound telescopes have anything to do with the sudden increase in budget? Do they want to protect humanity from something we don't know yet? Or is this a normal increase because you want gold-plated toillets?
A planetary nebula isn’t related to planets. It’s an old star, sloughing off its outer layers. Now astronomers have spied 2 ultra-close stars at a planetary nebula’s heart. The pair orbits in only 3 hours!
The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of the planetary nebula M3-1. Its central star is a binary system – 2 stars orbiting a common center of gravity – extremely close together, moving around each other very fast.
An international team of astronomers have discovered two stars in a binary pair that complete an orbit around each other in a little over three hours, residing in the planetary nebula M3-1. Remarkably, the stars could drive a nova explosion, an entirely unexpected event based on our current understanding of binary star evolution. The team, led by David Jones of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and the Universidad de La Laguna, reporttheir findings in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters.
Planetary nebulae are the glowing shells of gas and dust formed from the outer layers of stars like our own sun, which they throw off during the final stages of their evolution. In many cases, interaction with a nearby companion star plays an important role in the ejection of this material and the formation of the elaborate structures seen in the resulting planetary nebulae.
The planetary nebula M3-1 is located in the constellation of Canis Major, at a distance of roughly 14,000 light-years from Earth. M3-1 was a firm candidate to host a binary central star, as its structure with prominent jets and filaments is typical of these binary star interactions.
Using the telescopes of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile, Jones’s team looked at M3-1 over a period of several years. In the process they discovered and studied the binary stars in the centre of the nebula. Brent Miszalski, researcher at the Southern African Large Telescope, and co-author of the study, commented:
We knew M3-1 had to host a binary star, so we set about acquiring the observations required to prove this and to relate the properties of the nebula with the evolution of the star or stars that formed it.
The two stars are so close together that they cannot be resolved from the ground, so instead the presence of the second star is inferred from the variation of their observed combined brightness – most obviously by periodic eclipses of one star by the other which produce marked drops in the brightness. Henri Boffin, researcher at the European Southern Observatory in Germany, said:
When we began the observations, it was immediately clear that the system was a binary. We saw that the apparently single star at the center of the nebula was rapidly changing in brightness, and we knew that this must be due to the presence of a companion star.
The team discovered that the central star of the planetary nebula M3-1 has one of the shortest orbital period binary central stars known to date, at just over three hours. The ESO observations also show that the two stars – most likely a white dwarf with a low-mass main sequence companion – are almost touching.
As a result, the pair are likely to undergo a so-called nova eruption, the result of the transfer of material from one star to the other. When this reaches a critical mass, a violent thermonuclear explosion takes place and the system temporarily increases in brightness by up to a million times. Paulina Sowicka, a Ph.D. student at the Nicolas Copernicus Astronomical Center in Poland, said:
After the various observing campaigns in Chile, we had enough data to begin to understand the properties of the two stars – their masses, temperatures and radii. It was a real surprise that the two stars were so close together and so large that they were almost touching one another. A nova explosion could take place in just a few thousand years from now.
Theory suggests that binary stars should be well separated after the formation of a planetary nebula. It should then take a long time before they begin to interact again and events such as novae become possible.
In 2007, astronomers observed a different nova explosion, known as Nova Vul 2007, inside another planetary nebula.
Jones commented:
The 2007 event was particularly difficult to explain. By the time the two stars are close enough for a nova, the material in the planetary nebula should have expanded and dissipated so much that it’s no longer visible.
The new event adds to the conundrum, said Jones:
In the central stars of M3-1, we’ve found another candidate for a similar nova eruption in the relatively near future.
The team now hopes to carry out further study of the nebula and others like it, helping to shed light on the physical processes and origins of novae and supernovae, some of the most spectacular and violent phenomena in the universe.
Bottom line: Astronomers have spied 2 ultra-close stars at the heart of a planetary nebula called M3-1. The two stars are almost touching and orbit each other in only 3 hours!

Open Minds UFO Radio: Nick Pope – Renewed Government Interest in UFOs
Open Minds UFO Radio: Nick Pope investigated UFOs for the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) for several years in the early 1990s. He was skeptical about the phenomenon when he began looking into the matter. However, after having reviewed several credible cases Nick concluded that there was UFOs pose a real mystery, and unidentified vehicles in our airspace could pose a threat to national security. Since he has left the MoD, Nick has authored a book on the UK’s most credible and famous UFO case, Encounter in Rendlesham Forest: The Inside Story of the World’s Best-Documented UFO Incident. He is also a journalist and media commentator.
In this episode, we discuss the renewed interest the U.S. government appears to be showing in the UFO topic since the revelation that the Pentagon has its own UFO research program, that allegedly continues to this day. We discuss the fact that several individuals have addressed congressional subcommittees recently, and what that means to the future of government involvement in UFO research. Nick gives his unique perspective a being one of the few who has worked on a government-sponsored UFO research program. For more about Nick visit: http://nickpope.net/

UFO Recorded On Video In Clear Daylight Above Mexico City
A worker in Mexico observed an unidentified flying object in broad daylight.
The mysterious craft was seen travelling in the sky above Mexico City, and the witness captured the strange aerial activity on video.
As the UFO was moving across the sky, a couple of metres off the ground, it emanated a blurry field that was commonly reported from UFO enthusiasts.
Many viewers of the video believe the latest UFO sighting is substantial evidence of the existence of space aliens visiting Earth and it would have been definitive proof of the existence of extraterrestrials had the camera quality been better.
YouTube user Carlos Sanchez originally captured the video and conspiracy theorists around the internet quickly picked it up.
Some UFO hunters believe it is a genuine sighting of an alien spacecraft.
The dark craft reportedly came right out into the open, and a worker noticed it when they came outside for their break.
Some observers said that the UFO somewhat tilted as it moved, which was what many unidentified flying objects did to control their direction.
Unfortunately, the video looks blurry.
Some UFO enthusiasts think the video would be definitive proof of the existence of space aliens has it been an iPhone 7 or 8 being used.
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI) is using off-the-shelf machine learning technology from Nvidia and Google to advance its mission of finding other forms of life in the universe.
Using these tools, a newly hired graduate student last fall discovered the richest signal dataset found to date.
“I didn’t believe him, actually, but eventually that was borne out to be true. And in fact the thing that took the longest was actually writing the paper and getting it through peer review,” Berkeley SETI Research Center director Andrew Siemion said.
Siemion spoke with Pandorabots CEO Lauren Kunze today at VB Summit 2018, a two-day conference for company executives held at the Seminary in Mill Valley, California.
The work consists of searching for signals that could come from technology used by an intelligent life form — such as electromagnetic activity or radio or laser signals.
“So fast radio bursts or FRBs are some of the most exciting sources that we know about in astronomy,” Siemion said. “We just discovered them about 10 years ago. We know of about 50 or so sources of them, and one of them is known to repeat — it’s in fact the only one that’s known to repeat. And as far as we know, for the moment it’s the only source that behaves this way. Some have suggested that the actual progenitor of the source might be some kind of technology.”
SETI looks for these signals by placing large telescopes around the world that are capable of producing hundreds of gigabytes of data a second, petabytes of which are stored by the SETI Breakthrough Listening program on an annual basis. Machine learning is then used to scour the data for anomalies.
Last fall, the team detected 21 FRBs over the span of six hours from data generated by the Green Bank telescope in West Virginia. A month later, an algorithm developed by a graduate student found an additional 72 bursts, making it the richest dataset SETI has ever come across.
Commodity hardware helps keep costs down for SETI, a nonprofit organization, and prevent it having to rely on old tools. In radio astronomy, Siemion said, building instrumentation for a telescope is traditionally done by creating something from scratch that takes years to develop and is outdated by the time it’s ready to be used.
“We only have about a dozen full-time employees in the group at Berkeley, and certainly not enough people — or certainly the expertise — to develop a machine learning framework and algorithm and pipeline from the ground up,” he explained.
We are not alone, Siemion said, adding that an approach that uses commodity technology rather than custom solutions is becoming more and more common in astronomy.
“There are all kinds of opportunities to leverage these kinds of algorithms, software tool kits that are being developed, and we’re very interested in continuing to apply these to make additional discoveries. In fact, we probably have many, many more FRBs, and perhaps even some signals from extraterrestrial intelligence, buried in our data that are just waiting to be uncovered,” he concluded.
The Purported Plumes of Jupiter's Moon Europa Are Missing 'Hotspot' Engines

If Jupiter's moon Europa has geysers, the natural engines that power them are well-hidden.
Scientists have re-examined data from NASA's Galileo mission in greater detail in search of regions on Europa warm enough to be linked to plumes of water vapor. If hotspots exist on this moon — which harbors a huge ocean of liquid water beneath its icy shell — they will most likely remain hidden until NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft arrives at Jupiter in the late 2020s or early 2030s, the researchers determined.
In 2016, scientists announced the provisional detection of a faint plume on Europa using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. A second unconfirmed plume was announced the following year. Since then, the moon has remained quiet, and scientists have debated whether the features spotted by the space telescope were actually caused by wafting water vapor. [Possible Water Plumes on Europa: The Discovery in Images]
In an effort to solve the mystery, Julie Rathbun and her colleagues turned to data collected by Galileo when it orbited Jupiter in the 1990s and early 2000s. Rathbun is a senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona. The researchers had searched the moon for heat signals almost a decade ago, before the potential plumes were spotted. Now, they returned to examine the two potential source regions more closely, looking for signs of heat that might indicate geological activity. The results were less than encouraging.
"We didn't see any hotspots at those locations," Rathbun said yesterday (Oct. 22) during a news conference at the American Astronomical Society's annual Division for Planetary Sciences meeting in Knoxville, Tennessee.
But that doesn't necessarily mean Europa isn't spouting off, added Rathbun.
The case of the missing hotspot
Plumes are common throughout the solar system. Jupiter's moon Io is constantly shooting volcanic material into the air. Saturn's icy moon Enceladus famously blasts water vapor and other material from its subsurface ocean into space via a set of geysers near the south pole. And Earth is rich in geysers, from Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful to Iceland's Great Geysir.
Firing off the gas that makes up these plumes requires an energy source, which usually heats up the ground around the plume source. Enceladus, Io and Earth all have hotspots around their geysers and volcanoes.
But not Europa, as far as we can tell. Rathbun and her colleagues saw no hotspots at either of the purported plume locations described in the Galileo data.
There are four possible reasons for this result, Rathbun said. First, it's possible that the jets don't exist. It's also possible that the hotspots exist but are subtler than could be detected with Galileo or the Earth-based Atacama Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA). Another option is that the plumes are sporadic and just didn't fire off while Galileo was nearby. Finally, Europa's plumes may operate differently from the geysers on other worlds.
Both Europa and Enceladus are icy moons, and each is thought to host a subsurface ocean. So, it's no surprise that the planetary scientists based their Europa search on the geysers confirmed on Enceladus. The geysers from Saturn's moon come from long, narrow "tiger-stripe" fissures with roughly the same area as that probed on Europa, and the expected temperatures are also similar.
It's possible, however, that Europa's plume regions have a different configuration than those of the Saturn satellite.
"I don't think it's a tiger stripe [that produced the plume], but there could be some small source that's there that we're just not detecting," Rathbun said.
Timing is another concern. Galileo explored Jupiter and its moons from 1995 to 2003, more than a decade before Hubble spotted the plumes. If Europa's fountains are sporadic, their hosting sites may not yet have become active while Galileo was looking. Similarly, ALMA peered at the moon several months after Hubble's observations, potentially giving the area time to cool off.
Sunlight further complicates the issue. At the beach, sand and rocks heat up and cool at different rates based on their composition. After the plumes were first spotted, ALMA identified a region near a young crater called Pwyll that seemed warmer than surrounding areas. However, Rathbun said that Galileo showed that the same region is coolerthan its environment on the nightside; ALMA's observations, like all those made from Earth, show only the moon's dayside. Rathbun said that the variations most likely originated from features with different compositions.
"It's much more consistent with different thermal properties than there being a hotspot," she said.
Ideally, the same instrument would compare daytime and nighttime observations to rule out heat from the sun as an explanation for the temperature differences, but unfortunately, Galileo didn't gather daytime images of the puzzling region.
Rathbun said the final possibility is that the plume-generating mechanism on Europa doesn't heat things up the way familiar geyser features do. It's currently unknown what kind of mechanism could do that, but she said the possibility can't be ruled out.
"I am constantly amazed at how many things we find in the outer solar system that don't make any sense," she said.
While there isn't enough data to determine which of the four explanations likely represents reality, Rathbun said that her favorite option is the bizarre answer.
"I'd love it if there's something different going on," she said. "That's always the most fun."
Europa probably won't be able to keep such secrets for much longer. NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft, which is currently scheduled to launch in 2022, will make 45 flybys of Europa at altitudes ranging from 1,700 miles to 16 miles (2,700 kilometers to 25 km).
One of the instruments Clipper will carry is the Europa Thermal Emission Imaging System (E-THEMIS), a heat detector that will take thermal images of the moon at various wavelengths.
"If there is a hotspot somewhere on Europa, then E-THEMIS will see it," Rathbun said.
NASA's Found a Weird, Rectangular Iceberg in Antarctica
NASA's Found a Weird, Rectangular Iceberg in Antarctica

Look at that iceberg. It's beautiful. Perfectly rectangular. An object of near geometric perfection jutting into a polar sea of the usual squiggly, chaotic randomness of the natural world. It calls to mind the monolith from "2001: A Space Odyssey.
But, unlike the monolith from that very weird movie, this iceberg was not deposited on this world byspace aliens. Instead, as Kelly Brunt, an ice scientist with NASA and at the University of Maryland, explained, it was likely formed by a process that's fairly common along the edges of icebergs.
"So, here's the deal," Brunt told Live Science. "We get two types of icebergs: We get the type that everyone can envision in their head that sank the Titanic, and they look like prisms or triangles at the surface and you know they have a crazy subsurface. And then you have what are called 'tabular icebergs.'" [In Photos: Huge Icebergs Break Off Antarctica]
Tabular icebergs are wide and flat, and long, like sheet cake, Brunt said. They split from the edges of ice shelves — large blocks of ice, connected to land but floating in the water surrounding iced-over places like Antarctica. This one came from the crumbling Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula.
From yesterday's #IceBridge flight: A tabular iceberg can be seen on the right, floating among sea ice just off of the Larsen C ice shelf. The iceberg's sharp angles and flat surface indicate that it probably recently calved from the ice shelf.
Tabular icebergs form, she said, through a process that's a bit like a fingernail growing too long and cracking off at the end. They're often rectangular and geometric as a result, she added.
"What makes this one a bit unusual is that it looks almost like a square," Brunt said.
It's difficult to tell the size of the iceberg in this photo, she said, but it's likely more than a mile across. And, as with all icebergs, the part visible above the surface is just the top 10 percent of its mass. The rest, Brunt said, is hidden underwater.
In the case of tabular icebergs, she said, that subsurface mass is usually regular-looking and geometric, similar to what's visible above. This iceberg looks pretty fresh, she said — its sharp corners indicate that wind and waves haven't had much time to break it down.
But despite the berg's large mass, Brunt said, she wouldn't advise going on a walk on its surface.
"It probably wouldn't flip over," she said.
The thing is still much wider than it is deep, after all. But it's small enough to be unstable and crack up at any moment.
So, it's probably best to marvel at the thing from a distance.
Asteroid or Comet? Weird Blue Space Rock 'Phaethon' Gets a Close-Up
Asteroid or Comet? Weird Blue Space Rock 'Phaethon' Gets a Close-Up

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A bizarre, blue asteroid that acts like a comet and appears to be responsible for the annual Geminid meteor shower made a close flyby of Earth last year, giving astronomers an opportunity to study the object in unprecedented detail. They found that the asteroid is even weirder than they had imagined.
Asteroid 3200 Phaethon is a special space rock with a rare blue color and an extremely eccentric orbit that has the object pass superclose to the sun and then out past the orbit of Mars. One orbit takes about 1.4 Earth years. This kind of orbit is more typical for comets than asteroids.
But while Phaethon acts like a comet, it doesn't look like one. When comets get close to the sun, they form a cloud known as a "coma" and a long tail of dust and gas. Phaethon, however, always looks like a tiny speck floating through space. [The 7 Strangest Asteroids in the Solar System]
On Dec. 16, 2017, the asteroid Phaethon made its closest approach to Earth since 1974, passing within 6.4 million miles (10.3 million kilometers) of our planet. While backyard astronomers pointed their telescopes toward the space rock to catch a glimpse of the historic flyby, astronomers in observatories around the world took the opportunity to learn more about what the object is and where it came from.
Teddy Kareta, a graduate student at the University of Arizona who led an international effort to investigate Phaethon during the flyby, presented his team's findings here at the 50th annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences today (Oct. 23). Kareta and his colleagues observed Phaethon's close approach using NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility on Mauna Kea in Hawaii and the Tillinghast telescope on Mount Hopkins in Arizona.
One of their findings may overturn the current prevailing theory about the origin of Phaethon. Astronomers have long suspected that Phaethon is a fragment of the much larger blue asteroid Pallas. "However, Pallas' albedo [or reflectivity] is about twice what we found for Phaethon's albedo," Kareta said. With an albedo of about 8 percent, Phaethon is slightly brighter than charcoal and only about half as bright as Pallas, Kareta said.
The researchers also found that the surface of Phaethon is equally blue all around, which means that the object has been "evenly scorched" or "cooked" by the sun's heat. Phaethon's blue color indicates that the rock has undergone intense heating, Kareta said. During Phaethon's trips around the sun, it gets heated to temperatures of up to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit (800 degrees Celsius), which is "so hot that metals on the surface turn to goo," he said.
Creating the Geminid meteor shower
The Geminid meteor shower, which arrives every year in December, is the only meteor shower that appears to have originated from anything other than a comet. Comets are icy bodies containing a mixture of ice, rock, dust and frozen gas. When a comet gets close to the sun, some of this material gets vaporized and small pieces of the comet break loose, leaving behind a trail of comet crumbs in space. When Earth passes through such a trail of debris, we get meteor showers.
Asteroids like Phaethon are rocky objects that don't behave the same way as comets do when they get close to the sun, and astronomers aren't sure how Phaethon could have created the Geminids. Before Phaethon was discovered, in 1983, astronomers had no idea where the Geminids came from. Having observed that Phaethon's orbit matched the trail of debris that causes the annual meteor shower, though, astronomers determined that Phaethon must be the source.
This diagram shows the highly eccentric orbit of 3200 Phaethon.

Exactly how Phaethon created that trail of debris remains a mystery, Kareta said. While it is possible that material swept off the asteroid's surface could contribute to the debris, "the amount of dust that gets swept off is nowhere near enough to sustain the Geminids," he said. One possibility is that Phaethon collided with another object in space and the Geminids are the debris from that "catastrophic breakup," he said. "So, in that case, you're essentially seeing dust, which is kind of like blood splatter, to be gruesome, from this really violent event."
Another possibility is that Phaethon is a dormant comet, or a comet that turned into an asteroid over time. "If it was cometary at some point in the past, maybe it made the meteor shower the normal way and left behind those comet crumbs … but since then, it's been cooked through and turned off and it just looks like a rock," Kareta said.
Phaethon may look more like an asteroid than a comet, but it displays qualities of both types of objects. It doesn't have the coma and tail that are characteristic of comets, but it does release "a tiny dust tail when it gets closest to the sun in a process that is thought to be similar to a dry riverbed cracking in the afternoon heat," University of Arizona officials said in a statement. "This kind of activity has only been seen on two objects in the entire solar system — Phaeton and one other, similar object that appears to blur the line traditionally thought to set comets and asteroids apart."
A mission to Phaethon: DESTINY+
Findings from this new research will come in handy for scientists with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), which is currently planning a mission to Phaethon. The mission is called DESTINY+ (an abbreviation for Demonstration and Experiment of Space Technology for Interplanetary Voyage, Phaethon Fyby and Dust Science), and it is currently scheduled to launch in 2022.
DESTINY+ will fly by Phaethon and other near-Earth objects to study how dust is ejected from these objects. This should help to explain Phaethon's tiny dust tail. DESTINY+ could help scientists figure out whether Phaethon is an asteroid, a comet or something else. "It's probably somewhere in the middle," Kareta said.

Secrets of the Saucer Scientists
Photo of Oberth and Von Braun
William F. Hamilton III writes, “In all probability the first saucer scientists were rocket scientists. Without a doubt one of these great men was the pioneering rocket scientist, Professor Hermann Oberth was a writer, scientist, and visionary from Austria-Hungary whose paper.”The Rocket into Interplanetary Space was published in 1923 and served as an inspiration to the rocket designers that followed. Influenced by Verne’s books and ideas, Oberth constructed his first model rocket as a school student at the age of 14. In his youthful experiments, he arrived independently at the concept of the multistage rocket. By 1917, he showed how far his studies had reached by firing a rocket with liquid propellant in a demonstration to Hermann von Stein, the Prussian Minister of War.
Werner von Braun read Oberth’s work in 1925 and joined him in rocket experiments in 1930. Oberth is considered the Father of Rocketry.
In letters to Donald Keyhoe, Oberth mentions his belief that saucers are spaceships manned by superior beings. He says that the marvelous aerodynamics of the saucers is accomplished by generating an artificial gravity field. This is the famous G-field theory. The saucers create their own gravitational fields which enables them to hover motionless above the earth, accelerate at tremendous speeds, or execute violent turns that would cause ordinary aircraft to disintegrate. Even with swift changes of speed and direction, the passengers would feel no effect. It would also explain the silence of UFOs in flight as the artificial G-field would drag the surrounding air along with it. And, because the air is not flowing pass the hull, it would eliminate heating caused by friction.
Statements have been made that saucer behavior defies the laws of physics. It seemed impossible that a manned craft could execute such tremendous accelerations from a hovering position to a high-speed linear velocity or in high-speed acute-angled turns. Inertial forces caused by such accelerations would tear apart an aircraft frame. And, often, the picture came to mind of a human pilot ending up flat as a pancake against the cabin wall. Gerald Heard, in his book, “Is Another World Watching?” hypothesized that the saucers were being flown by insects because only insects could survive those wrenching turns. All of these concerns evaporate when one considers the physics of G-field propulsion.
Aerospace Research & Development.
David Mathes writes, I cannot speak to what you may have seen. Let me talk in general terms about aerospace R&D. When new and improved effects or technologies are developed, the services all take a look at and see how it fits with present inventory. In the case of an airframe or propulsion improvement, one would take that technology and do studies applying the new principles to missions involving scouting, intelligence, gathering, interceptors, fighters and bombers.
One would do trades which include scaling the power, propulsion and airframe in a SWaP-C analysis (Size, Weight, Power and Cost). Scaling tradeoffs would be made in theory, modeling, simulation and experiment to find stable configurations and survivable solutions. Velocity and acceleration numbers would matter. Jolt/jerk (acceleration change) would be calculated as well as higher order derivatives especially for changes in angular momentum which includes pitch, roll and yaw
SU 57 Russian Stealth Fighters
There have been past efforts, notably the Russians (see Jane’s Aircraft in the late 1980s, early 1990s) to use a combination of technologies to extend the performance specifications of aircraft. One notable jet-powered craft was an inflatable saucer design with four ballutes internally. The surface material was not defined but look liked aluminum. The craft appeared to be designed for swift transit over a long range. But the lighter than air components would be usefully useable only to about 10k ft. Even so, the craft could be used in a variety of ways. Fighter versions of B-1 and B-2 are possible. Keep in mind that with less lift, more thrust is required to maintain a velocity. For me, the most interesting engine is the transonic engine. No more violent transition to Mach velocities.
Dream Chase
The U.S is developing a new ‘Shuttle to carry seven astronauts, called Dream Chaser that can pay for itself by carrying astronauts to the International Space Station rather than paying Russia millions for each trip. Best David Mathes
Night Siege: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings
The “”Westchester Boomerang” was a UFO reported by hundreds of people in New York State and Connecticut between 1983 and 1986 and described by most witnesses as a hovering, immense V-shaped series of flashing lights connected by a dark structure. UFO investigators Imbrogno (Crosswalks Across the Universe) and Pratt write in detail about the “close encounters” of some 900 people who filled out “witness forms.” (Famed UFO author Hynek died in 1986, “as the book was being written,” but the authors maintain that he participated in the investigation and include the transcript of a Hynek interview with a witness.) They note a “feeling” common to the witnesses: “They felt as if the object or whatever intelligence that was behind it was trying to communicate with them in some way.” After a two-year analysis, the authors conclude that there is “no conventional explanation for the Hudson Valley UFO.” The illustrations include photos, drawings and sequential frames from a videotape of the lights.
The sightings of the craft were mostly in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts. The craft was virtually silent, and measured between 300 to 900 feet across. The craft was seen hovering over busy highways, rivers and lakes. It was often seen over the Hudson River. It was reported by pilots, air traffic controllers, doctors, lawyers, police, fireman, women, and computer operators. The craft appeared to have structural girder and cross beam construction like a truss bridge.
Bruce Cornet reports, Michael Schratt presents one of the most detailed and well-illustrated accounting of the Hudson Valley or Westchester Boomerang I have seen. Perhaps his diagrams and schematics are more imagination than factual. He documents in this video the thousands of sightings which occurred over the Hudson Valley between 1982 and 1989.
The March 24, 1983 sighting was spectacular with hundreds of witnesses from Westchester and Putnum seeing the craft. Police switchboards where jammed with frantic calls from local residents between 8:30 and 1o;30 PM. The TV show sightings ran a special on the sightings. At the intersection of Routes 202 and 35, traffic was halted in a tangled jam as motorists stopped, got out of their cars and looked at the object. Motorists stopped on the Taconic Parkway in groups to observe the hovering object. A slow moving silent V shaped craft with multi-colored lights was flying low just above the treetops. It cruised in a looping pattern over Yorktown, Somers and Carmel for more than an hour.
Rarely has this enormous craft been seen since, yet I have documented a much smaller version, which I call the Manta Ray. His diagrams closely resemble the B-2 Bomber, but his description of its construction from eye witness reports is nothing like the military copy cat. Surprised this video has only received 8,179 views since January 7, 2017. Why so little public interest? It is well worth seeing.

A Picture We May Not Wish to Gaze Upon by David Jacobs, PhD
The abduction phenomenon is something so strange, so unusual; it is very difficult to gain an understanding of it. When I was a UFO researcher strictly examining the outside shells of anomalous objects in the sky, most people thought the abduction phenomenon was purely and totally psychological. Even though there was, of course, the Barney and Betty Hill case. The Hills were obviously not 1950s-style contactees. One was required to have a lot of evidence to accept the idea that not only were there complex individuals inside the UFOs, but they were kidnapping humans. Furthermore, the Barney and Betty Hill case had embarrassing elements in it, such as a sperm sample taken from Barney, and a needle put in Betty’s navel (which she said was a pregnancy test, although it almost certainly was not). When more abduction cases were reported and researchers began to study them, the Hill case provided a model for understanding what was happening. What happened to the Hills, and to others, seemed to suggest an experimental model; this was a learning situation. Aliens were running tests on humans to understand our physiology and our mental processes. The experimental model fit and there was little reason to doubt it. The model became so strongly accepted it seemed to explain most of the evidence from 1966 to the early 1990s. I fully accepted this model in the first seven years of my abduction research. Then as the evidence mounted, I realized the experimental model was not holding. The evidence did not explain how this could be an experiment when they are doing certain procedures on people repeatedly around the world. For example, how many times does one have to run an experiment to learn that when people see horrible scenes of death and destruction, they experience anxiety?
Rather than an experimentally-based endeavor, the evidence began to conform more to a “program” model. As a program it has a beginning, a middle, and an end, and it is goal-directed. The ultimate objective of this program has eluded both Budd Hopkins and me. We do not know why this phenomenon is happening. But, we have an enormous amount of information about what is happening, how it is happening, what the plans are, and how they have been developing it over the years. It is something I find extremely disquieting. From the beginning, this program had many facets. One was a strong reproductive aspect, and another was a neurological feature. Budd Hopkins had discovered egg harvesting and sperm extraction taking place in sterile-looking environments.
David Jacobs
Oftentimes I found these procedures were accompanied by a strange procedure in which an alien might stare into an abductees’ eyes from a distance of a few inches away or closer. The abductee is unable to avert his or her gaze. They feel something happening inside of their minds. They “see” both static and flashing images. Emotions are generated of one sort or the other. Memories are looked at. A whole world of neurological patterns is happening in their minds while this kind of neural engagement is occurring—which I unfortunately called “Minds can” in my book Secret Life. I have regretted using that term ever since, because it sounds so “science fiction-y” but, in a sense, everything is “science fiction-y” about this phenomenon.
The taking of sperm and ova, the insertion of embryos into the woman, and the extraction of fetuses from her, are also commonly reported aspects of abduction activity. After these types of procedures, a small alien might take an abductee into a room filled with tanks containing a liquid in which
fetuses are suspended—an incubatorium. When a woman is shown these tanks she is led to believe this is a gestation area in which the fetuses are growing and some of them might be hers. Budd Hopkins also first discovered the “baby presentations” in the early 1980s. These entail aliens taking an abductee into another room onboard a UFO and having the abductee hold one or more babies in sequence. Sometimes abductees are required to feed the babies.

The War Over Men’s Souls
Brett Alen reports that in 30 years of researching the paranormal, I always believed there had to be some correlating unifying theory to both ghosts and UFOs. My research into the paranormal has proven one thing… spirit orbs I once thought were hooey, are very real. They appear to be the manifestation of the human soul after we die; only visible to ultraviolet and infrared non-filtered cameras. To days cameras pick them up because it is much cheaper to manufacture them without such filters. This is why both UFOs (who the ancient s said were “spirit” gods who could take human form-cloaked in the UV and IR) and ghosts can be captured by today’s technology, when not visible to the human eye. The ancient Mesopotamia bible spoke of both spirits and the soul. Nearly every ancient civilization makes reference to the soul; Egypt built a technological civilization around them. They were quite obviously doing something with high voltage; Tesla coils and particle accelerators, to harness and launch the soul. From the Zoroastrians, to Mesopotamia, even the Maya and pre-Columbians, all had this knowledge.
My work with spirit orbs, both in my own haunted study location, and in photos sent to me by friends, shows obvious faces show up in these orbs. I believe even the Mayan calendar round was a spirit orb, as they also knew that night was “the realm of the dead.” But perhaps UFOlogists and NASA/CIA insider John Lear puts it all in perspective when he claims there was a soul capturing and processing machine that the alien’s operate on our moon. In fact NASA’s recent bombing of the Moon may have been to destroy one such structure.
Recent photos captured over my own home, on a lake where some 4000 graves were opened may also vindicate his claims. A bright light on a rectangular UFO was seen with what the ancients referred to as a GATE hanging off the end of the rectangle. I believe the craft was sweeping the area for “lost souls.” If this is not true, why are there so many references to the soul in ancient cultures. In our own Bible there are 457 references to the soul and Christians are promised to go to heaven when the body dies. The soul or the spirit of humans is immortal. However the soul can be lost Mark 8-36 states, “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”
“We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against ‘principalities,’ against ‘powers,’ against the ‘rulers of darkness of this world’ , against ‘spiritual wickedness’ in high places” Eph 6-12
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. There are red orb seen all over the world and in Egypt they are often called serpent of the dragon. In the Solomon Islands, dragon orbs can be seen going in and out of the sea where battles are fought. Often in war UFOs and Foo Fighters are everywhere. Why is the human soul so important? It is disturbing, but your own search will surely lead you to the same conclusion.
Extraterrestrials once called Angels are here for one thing, the soul. How many reports come back from abductees saying the aliens seemed to be interested in my soul. It’s as if they separated me from my soul; because they did?. The scary part is I came to this conclusion before over hearing of John Lear or his claim. In the 90s I had a very strange visitor who refused to identify himself, only that we worked with a group that was aware of my work; and if I was deemed worthy, they might release to me the answers. He interviewed me, a journalist and media professional, about my world views on religion, aliens and the paranormal. Since that time, although seeing them since youth, I have seen many more UFOs, and many red orbs. There is a long list of UFOlogists who have come to these same unorthodox conclusions. On Sunday 21st, March 2004, John Lear (who brought the world Bob Lazar, at first scoffed at, but now being validated).Lear has flown all types in all types of aircraft and has 19,000 flying hours. While on the Art Bell Show he delivered some very disturbing information.
Cube on Moon
Lear stated on Coast 2 Coast AM, that a massive cube has been found on the moon, and that this cube is responsible for not only holding human souls here on Earth, but that after you die, the cube pulls your soul to it, and then erases your memory, and reinserts your soul into a new baby to repeat the process over again.
Our moon was brought here from another star system long ago, as part of the experiment. Earth was taken over about 200 thousand years ago, humanity was genetically engineered race, but it is the souls of light that are the real reason for all of this. The souls of light are used as food by the Reptilians. They need a constant supply of emotional food to enable them to do anything. Without a fuel source, negative souls are dead in the water, and are completely powerless. On the Day of Judgment it is the soul (nafs) which will appear before Allah as stated in the Holy Quran:“And every soul comes, with it a driver and a witness” (50:21).
This soul (nafs) will enter into hell or heaven. In short, since soul is the essence of man, everything that is given in this earthly life is given to the soul, and so too will be the rewards and punishment of the Hereafter. “To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth.” Mankind is an alien controlled experiment. All religions were created by the aliens to give us a set of rules and regulations to live by so that we wouldn’t hurt ourselves. The secret government knows about this experiment but is hiding it from us. This experiment has something to do with the soul. The aliens refer to us as containers. The aliens are busy collecting the souls of the sixty million aborted babies since Roe vs. Wade with Planned Parenthood killing most. There is a cube on the Moon with an antenna. The antenna sends and receives souls.
The two mile high tower on the Moon may house the antenna.
When there is a major disaster like 911 the aliens send down giant soul collectors to recover the souls. From the assignation of Kennedy, from Forestall to the Anunnaki, everything has been orchestrated to keep this information silent, and those who do try to decimate it, usually end up dead. This is either by design or there is a fault with the cube. This cube falls right in line with what I’ve said before. Check it out.
Our Moon was towed here and placed in orbit around the Earth by a very large space machine. There was a time in the recorded history of man when the Earth had no Moon. The Moon has an atmosphere which contains clouds. The Moon does not revolve which proves it is artificial. US astronauts went to the Moon, saw all the alien machinery and structures and were told to keep silent about it by NASA.
John Lear says it is NASA itself that is doing the tampering with signals to the Mars rovers.. NASA knows that Venus is a normal planet just like Earth. Venus has beings that are similar to us. We already have bases on the Moon and Mars but for anyone to go there it is a one way trip. NASA knows there are spaceships in the rings of Saturn. If mankind gets too close to discovering the experiment it will be cancelled and started all over again. A sort of cleansing that happens on Earth every 25,000 years.
John Lear, a retired airline captain logged over 19,000 hours of flight time. He is the son of Lear Jet inventor Bill Lear and flew over 100 different airplane designs. John accumulated 17 aviation world records and claimed to have flown CIA missions in Central and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa between 1966 and 1983.. John met Bob Lazar in 1988; the scientist/physicist who broke the story of Area 51 and the US back-engineering ET craft at S-4 near the infamous Area 51. Lazar and Lear made startling claims of an element 115 that powered alien craft; an element now proven to exist. In March 1989, Lazar took Lear to our government’s Rachel Nevada’s facility where they observed the flight of a flying saucer at the exact time and place Lazar said it would occur. Two weeks later, security forces caught Lear, Lazar and 3 others. The next day, Lazar lost his job over his breach of security. John Lear has lectured and learned incredible information about life in our Solar System; alien structures on the Moon; cities on Mars and even huge ET ships mining the rings of Saturn, and n much more. John Lear passed away in 2009. Thanks to Bret Allen
The Starry Sky-2, which is an experimental design known as a wave rider – for its ability to ride on the shock waves it generates – completed its first test flight on Friday at an undisclosed location in northwest China, the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics said in a statement issued on Monday.
The aircraft was carried into space by a multistage rocket before separating and relying on its own power. During independent flight it conducted extreme turning man oeuvres, maintained velocities above Mach 5.5 (five-and-a-half times the speed of sound) for more than 400 seconds, and achieved a top speed of Mach 6, or 7,344km/h (4,563mph), the statement said.
hypersonic missile test.
Mike Ward: China is getting more dangerous by the minute.
On Friday, astonishing footage was revealed showing strange plumes of light over Beijing skies – a phenomenon created by a secret hypersonic missile test.
Though Chinese officials haven’t confirmed this latest round of testing, the writing is on the wall…
Beijing has already released footage and boasted that its new aircraft could deliver nuclear missiles at such high speeds that they’d be nearly impossible to defend against.
These new weapons can move through the sky at speeds up to 15,300 mph – 20 times faster than the speed of sound – and can strike anywhere on the globe within minutes or even seconds, rendering current nuclear weapons completely useless.
And the Pentagon reported to Congress earlier this year that China has piloted 20 times more hypersonic flight tests than the U.S. Make no mistake: China’s stealthy test marks a disturbing escalation in this arms race. You need to be prepared for this. Thanks to Mike Ward Strategic Tech Investor.

Filer’s Files 42 – 2018 The War Over Human’s Soul - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
California Object
Manahtten Beach — This was bright and reflective. Stationary over the Pacific Ocean flying low west of LAX airport on .
Slowly headed north in a straight line and then disappeared. I took pictures and a witness was there next to me. It was definitely not a drone. This is too far away and still was able to see that this was a UFO..
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Beverly Hills — While I was walking in the open-air Beverly Connection shopping complex, on Octoberr16, 2018, I noticed, to the south, what I initially thought was Venus but I realized it seemed too bright to be Venus. It was round, white, bright, and stationary. It was 6 pm, and the sun was to the west of the object. Then, another object came into view from the west, flying almost directly east. Its position was 5-10 degrees below the first object. It had three white and yellow pulsating lights from high illumination, to low in one second. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
Jacksonville— I was outside on my porch doing my nightly sky watching on October 12, 2018, and turned around and there were 30 to 40 white orbs flying in a boomerang formation as they towards the south. I held my hand out and some of the orbs moved out of formation then went back to their spots again. We were a bit startled at first as I was not expecting to see them. They were just above the tree tops. A bit later an all black boomerang shaped object flew over me fast heading north. I saw another one a couple days before the hurricane hit as well. that It was round in shape and reflected light on the edges. Just within the past couple weeks are the first encounters with them so close to me. I feel honored that they are doing this for me as I asked of them.
Key Largo– On October 11, 2018, I work at a sailing resort and take care of the property from 2 a.m. until 7 a.m. as I take care of the docks. I monitor Miami arc and the app. Plane finder to watch what flies overhead. This craft was not on radar. Moved very slow until overhead. I took my photos then it accelerated at amazing speed to the northwest. No sound at all.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maine Object
Bethel–There are several reports across the, Albany, Lovell and Waterford of two military jets chasing a sphere with blue lights. The jets were flying very low and reported to suddenly change directions. The planes were low enough to shake resident’s houses. Earlier on Wednesday two military helicopters landed at our local airport that don’t normally use the airport. The helicopters were in tight formation. Some posts on social media have been removed. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nevada Triangle
Battle Creek — While scanning earth for artifacts after reading about an old crash story I saw this triangle on Octoberr13, 2018. I believed it to be cattle ranch but on further looks believed it may be tourist fake. After realizing after a month of research it can’t be, I became scared. The only American I reached was Kristen Desilva. She then suggested George Knapp. He never responded and next day deserve had blocked me. The object shows water drainage proving it is part of the landscape. Water drains around it and across it. Soil looks to have come from lakebed. Explaining lack of vegetation due to salt content. Three phase power line to site is way too much power for a mini ranch not to mention expensive to install. Object is visible in the very first Google map from us geological survey sight proving it existed pre satellite maps. Shape can be seen in some hikers photos of region proving it isn’t a Google Easter egg. What appear to be two large HVAC units sit on a building. Far too much air handling for a small building. There is even a perfect circular puddle visible on top. Everything points to being the crash site of the ELY sighting. My belief is Area 51 is far away as a slight of hand to prevent expanded searching. The lack of security here is to serve as to not draw attention, or maybe this is just weird large equilateral triangle in sand, who builds a triangular 1069 meter triangle, before it could be seen from above! Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Dark Metallic Square
Medford— Several objects I first thought were birds but then. I observed reflections from object. I was in my bathroom and looked out of my skylight and observed what I thought was a group of birds circling in sky on October 18. 2018.
I am a bird watcher. When I realized they were silver and reflecting light. First a couple then several more joined then they appeared to disappear and reappeared circling faster and faster then they left viability at extremely high rate of speed.
Millville — This is the scariest thing that has ever happened to me when I saw a UFO with orbs of light on the ground on October 13, 2018. I’m reporting it because I want to see if anybody else saw anything in my area. I live in southern New Jersey about halfway between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. This sighing happened at 1145 PM, I went out on my front porch when I start to notice movement across the four way stop about 20 yards in the distance. To me it looked like white looking mist moving across the road in a periodic nature. Also in the woods was metallic banging and movement sounds. Where the woods are across the street is just wilderness for miles until you hit the Delaware Bay.
Right after that happens this white light rises up out of the woods and just sits there for about 3 minutes. It just looked like a ball of light from that distance when it started to move it moved right towards me. This thing moved at a slow steady rate until it’s literally about 500 yards from my face. It was a dark metallic almost plate or square looking object with the lights underneath flashing red upside down double v shaped patterns.
It scared the living hell out of me. It looked unlike any aircraft I’ve ever seen before. There always wasn’t any sound except for a slight electric charge I felt in the air. While it was flying at increasing speed away from me the other phenomenon I experienced first the mist free flowing forms crossing the street. I notice voices what feels like all around me. A lot of orb lights were moving around in the woods and street. The lights were looking. The lights almost looked like people I couldn’t see where holding flashlights while they walked but I just couldn’t see who or why was holding it.
I was focusing on the orbs so when I looked back for the craft it was already gone. That’s when there was this loud scrapping noise of metal on metal which scared me. These really were ufos. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Mexico Object
Driving into Albuquerque nm on Route 40 we observed a white/blue object in the NE sky on Octoberr15, 2018. I thought it was a star but upon going through the city we could see that it was in the shape of an inverted pyramid,
Driving further east as the sun was setting we noticed that it was reflecting sunlight and was stationary. It changed from a bright white to a light blue then orange as the sun set so it was reflective, We are wondering if there were any other reports that day. Thanks to MUFON CMS
South Carolina Object
Rock Hill— It was really clear, bright and beautiful Saturday afternoon on Octoberr13, 2018. I was sitting outside when I just happened to look up to see this white object heading my direction. I first thought it was a very odd balloon, but then it changed its shape right before it got just about directly over my home. It slowed down, stopped and hovered for a few minutes the first time and then 3 minutes the second time. It started slowly moving towards the back of my home directionally then it stopped again and hovered. A few seconds later a commercial airplane flew by and the object just stayed locked in position. During this time my dog was going bananas barking nonstop. I did have some ringing in my ears and nauseous.. Before it turned and started heading East. Upon reviewing the footage there were 3 different sphere shaped things Thanks to MUFON CMS
Utah Object
Kayenta – On Octoberr15, 2018 I gassed up in Santa Clara and drove Highway 91 west through the Piute Indian Reservation and just before the Summit Highway I saw the UFO. I thought it was a comet at first but it kept the same altitude and speed. I would guess attitude at 7 to 10 thousand feet and about 3 miles south of me, kind paralleled the highway. It was a bright spot with an orange tint, with a single white trail about 8 times length of UFO with space between them. I started taking pictures with cell phone and stopping at the summit I got two pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Lights
Richmond — While at work I occasionally go outside to smoke like I did on Octoberr17, 2018.. It was about a year ago when I first saw the strange object in the sky. I could clearly see there were no wings on it and it wasn’t making any sound at all. Plus, it seemed to be moving too slowly to stay in the sky if it was a plane. It looks like a airplane fuselage moving at the speed of a blimp. I have seen them on 4 or 5 different occasions and it has always been in the evening around 6-7pm. The objects are usually moving west to east except today it was moving south to north. The object appears to be white cigar shaped and the size of a tic-tac. It makes no sound or contrail and moves in a slow straight line. It is visible until it goes behind a building or trees and out of view. A couple of times a second one has appeared shortly after the first has gone out of sight. CNS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Disc
Sydney— I took this picture from my window at a hotel I was staying at in Sydney Australia on September 24, 2018.
I sent it to my partner it wasn’t too much later in the day my partner called and said to zoom in on the image. i then noticed this yellow shape in the clouds as she had told me I noted the planes. Sydney was over cast yesterday.Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada ‘Objects
Spruce Grove— Spotted Saturday at 7:30 pm September 29, 2018, at my buddies just about to get out of the hot tub, he went inside and all of a sudden I noticed these things… they were travelling west to the east. really not sure what these are, They were dead quiet for how many of them there were. They had no visible wings or tail and moved across the sky too quick. The objects were way too big at the altitude they were at (above the clouds) to be a flock of birds. I finally caught them just before they went behind the clouds and you can even see them a bit through the clouds before losing them on my Samsung. Thanks to MUFON CMS
France Orb
Paris — First of all I’m not supposed to be driving and filming at the same time but I just wanted to show my wife how beautiful the weather is in Paris on April 21, 2018.
I was driving from the 16th district of Paris France to the 15th and when I passed over the bridge of Garigliano in front of France television I turned the camera in the direction of the Eiffel Tower and I noticed this orb. It was very bright and staying stationary over Paris. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Greece Delta Craft
Athens— Chevron/delta shaped black craft with soft orange glow in places underneath craft. My girlfriend and I were staying in the rooftop apartment in Kos Perdis family resort in Kos town It was 1:30 am on the September 7, 2018, and had made the bed outside so we could sleep under the stars. We had a clear view of the sky. chatting, and said, “Would you come with me if aliens would beam us up?” Five streaks of light above us which were red/orange glow, theses moved very fast. Moving from north to south was very easy to define the front edge of the craft having a triangle/swept wing front and was completely silent, steady and constant in motion. As it was dark we could see a faint orange glow on the underbelly of the craft. Photo is a depiction/ Thanks to MUFON CMS
Netherlands Triangle
Volendam — One evening in 1988 my brother and I were playing outside on September 25. I was on a skateboard while my brother’s bike pulled me forward. I looked up and saw a similar to the Phoenix boomerang ufo flying up only 1 meter above the rooftops. We were less than 20 yards away from it, in astonishment I shouted my brother’s name and said “Look!!!” It was a boomerang shaped UFO,, with lights surrounding its edges that were clearly turned off. The boomerang ufo floated without making any noise in a straight line over the houses to the east over the city. We tried to chase it to no avail, the two of us running back in complete panic back to our parents house while screaming “ufo ufo UFO.” .she said ” Yeah right, and doesn’t believe us.” My father was showing more compassion by saying “Well it could be that they saw something right.” We saw a 10 yard small pitch black boomerang .CMS
Spain Orb
Valencia— The 15th of September of 2018 a blue static orb was seen floating above the Parc Benicalap, in the city of Valencia, Spain.
A blue static orb was seen floating in the sky that was very large.

Shape Shifting UFO Caught Following Space Station On Live Cam, Oct 24, 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Shape Shifting UFO Caught Following Space Station On Live Cam, Oct 24, 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Oct 24, 2018 Location of sighting: Earth orbit at space station Source:NASA Live cam I was watching the live cam and noticed this UFO in the far distance. The UFO moved slightly and changed shape from a round appearance to a long cigar shape. Its also odd that a new NASA red screen kept popping up about 6 times during the sighting. I believe the new color indicated an emergency that needs dealt with...a UFO. It may be a new AI system for detecting anomalies flying past. Scott C. Waring
