Army Remote Viewer Peers Into The Origins of Humanity To Find Out If Humans Were Created
Army Remote Viewer Peers Into The Origins of Humanity To Find Out If Humans Were Created
Joseph Mcmoneagle, one of the most successful Army-trained remote viewers, peered into the past to look into the possible origins of human history. He saw that we were created by intelligent beings in what he called a 'laboratory.'
Reflect On:
Why is the mainstream story of human history still limited to Darwin's Theory of Evolution? Why have so many discoveries, like giants, and life on other planets, been completely concealed and brushed off as a conspiracy theory?
The true origins of human history remain a mystery, but that’s not what mainstream academia would have us believe. Since Darwin, human evolution and ‘the survival of the fittest’ has been pushed on the population as some sort of scientific truth, despite the fact that it remains a theory with multiple loopholes and ‘missing links.’ If you question it, in some circumstances, you are almost considered a nut.
This continues to happen in many different fields of knowledge; when you question beliefs that have been ingrained for so long you get a harsh response, and in some cases, you’re liable to be fined, put in jail or at the very least you receive tremendous amounts of hate and censorship. What we don’t hear about is the fact that there are several hundred scientists, if not several thousand, who have spoken up against the scientific validity of the theory of evolution. I recently wrote an article about more than 500 scientists coming together to reject Darwin’s theory of evolution and explain why it’s not really valid at all.
Our DNA Originated Somewhere Else
Even one of the founding fathers of DNA, Francis Crick, believed that human DNA must have originated from somewhere else in the galaxy, whereby “organisms were deliberately transmitted to earth by intelligent beings on another planet.” You can read more about that here. I also recently wrote about a paper that was publishedby 33 scientists in the Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology Journal suggesting that the flourishing life during the Cambrian era (Cambrian Explosion) originated from the stars.
“With the rapidly increasing number of exoplanets that have been discovered in the habitable zones of long-lived red dwarf stars (Gillon et al., 2016), the prospects for genetic exchanges between life-bearing Earth-like planets cannot be ignored. ”(The study)
There is a great little blurb from Cosmos Magazine, one of the few outlets who is talking about the study.
Serious inquiry into the origins of human history are not encouraged in the mainstream. Yet as we dig a little on what’s being done, there is a lot to find out, with new theories and discoveries that seem to be popping up every single year. Modern day education is hardly keeping up with this, and in fact continues to promulgate old theories and notions that have long been disproven. As a result, nobody beyond ardent self-motivated researchers are learning about new developments or have any knowledge of these viewpoints.
Opening Our Minds
The suppression of the discoveries of giant humanoid skeletons falls directly into this category, though the secrecy that wraps up the Smithsonian is a topic for another article. Suffice it to say that successful cover-ups of information are possible in part due to the phenomenon of ‘cognitive dissonance’, which speaks to the extreme discomfort that a piece of information that disrupts the worldview you grew up with can have on you. Many of us have and do experience this, including myself. In today’s day and age, it’s important to practice overcoming the discomfort to keep an open mind.
Consider entertaining new ideas without necessarily accepting them, just give them a chance to swirl in your mind a bit. With new information constantly emerging at a rapid pace in all fields, an open mind is what serves us best. If we stay closed and refuse to even look at or acknowledge evidence that contradicts what we believe, we will never advance towards actual truth, and simply be caught up in an agnostic state while never really getting to the bottom of the questions that are naturally on our mind.
The StarGate Program
The StarGate program was co-founded by Russell Targ (watch his banned TED talk about ESP here), Hal Puthoff, who is now a member of the ‘To The Stars Academy’ with Tom Delonge, and other notable names who have worked on Deep Black Budget programs within the U.S. government. They are currently spearheading an effort to let the American public know that UFOs are real and that there is sufficient evidence to suggest that, as Louis Elizondo says, “we are not alone, whatever that means.”
The StarGate program investigated parapsychological phenomenon like remote viewing, telepathy, telekinesis, and clairvoyance. The program yielded high statistically significant results and was used multiple times for intelligence gathering purposes. A lot of interesting information came out of the literature that was declassified in 1995 after the program ran for more than two decades.
It was a complete mystery why the program was shut down: remote viewing, for example, which is the ability to describe the physical characteristics at a given location irrespective of distance, was found to be repeatable, even more than findings in the hard sciences, with a success rate of over 80 percent. Remote viewing was how the rings around Jupiter were actually discovered by Ingo Swann before NASA was able to measure them. You can read more about that here.
To summarize, over the years, the back-and-forth criticism of protocols, refinement of methods and successful replication of this type of remote viewing in independent laboratories has yielded considerable scientific evidence for the reality of the [remote viewing] phenomenon. Adding to the strength of these results was the discovery that a growing number of individuals could be found to demonstrate high-quality remote viewing, often to their own surprise. . . . The development of this capability at SRI has evolved to the point where visiting CIA personnel with no previous exposure to such concepts have performed well under controlled laboratory conditions.”(source)
The Breadth Of Remote Viewing
There are examples in the literature, from remote viewers looking at classified Russian technology during the cold-war era, locating a lost spy plane in Africa and the prediction of future events. Yes, along with remote viewing comes the ability to view into the past, and view into the future. Obviously, this gets tricky, especially if we look at quantum physics, which works in tandem with parapsychology. In quantum physics, experiments have also shown how what happened in the past can change the future, and what happens in the future can change the past, on a quantum scale. You can read more about that here.
There were multiple people working within the Remote Viewing Program, which was conducted at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in conjunction with multiple intelligence agencies, and one of them was Joseph Mcmoneagle. Many of these people, after decades in the program, continued on with their research and experimentation long after the program was declassified. Joseph was one of the most successful Army-trained remote viewers, and one of the original members of project Stargate. He was actually awarded the Legion of Merit for “producing crucial and vital intelligence unavailable from any other source” to the intelligence community.
The Origins Of Humanity
In 1983, McMoneagle worked with Robert A. Monroe, founder of the Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia, which provided basic out-of-body orientation for many of the military remote viewers. There, he conducted a session seeking to discover the origin of humanity. As the late great author and researcher Jim Marrs points out in his best selling book Our Occulted History points out:
During the 129-minute session, he described a shoreline on what appeared to him to be a primitive Earth. He later estimated a time of about thirty million to fifty million years after the time of the dinosaurs. Cavorting on this shoreline was a large family of protohumans-hairy animals about four feet in height, walking upright and possessing eyes exhibiting a spark of intelligence despite a somewhat smaller cranial capacity. Two things surprised McMoneagle in this session. These creatures appeared to be aware of his psychic presence, and they did not originate at that location.
McMoneagle described his experience in his 1998 book, The Ultimate Time Machine:
This particular species of animal is put…specifically in that barrier place…called the meeting of the land and the sea…I also get the impression that they’re…ah…they were put there. They mysteriously appeared. They are not descended from an earlier species, they were put there (by a) seed ship…no, that’s not right. Keep wanting to say ship, but it’s not a ship. I keep seeing a…myself…I keep seeing…oh, hell, for lack of a better word, let’s call it a laboratory, where they are actually inventing these creatures. They are actually constructing animals from genes. Why would they be doing that? Can we do this yet…here and now? Like cutting up genes and then pasting them back together. You know, sort of like splicing plants…or grafting them, one to another…Interesting, it’s like they are building eggs by injecting stuff into them with a mixture of DNA or gene parts of pieces.
He described these creatures as delicate-looking aquiline-featured humanoids, unclothed, in possession of a prehensile tail and large “doe-like” eyes. They seemed to be using some sort of light that McMoneagle had a hard time describing, but eventually described it as a “grow light.”
Marrs got the impression that it was like someone tending to a garden, and planting seeds, but “there isn’t any concern about the seeds after they are planted…It’s simply like…well…put these seeds here and on to better and bigger business. No concern about backtracking and checking on the condition of the seeds. They can live or die, survive or perish.” The session ended with him moving closer in time and perceiving these beings growing in size and ability, eventually becoming herding humans.
The surveillance of and interference with humanity is documented in the lore of almost all civilizations that have roamed the planet. Although some have called this mere ‘interpretation,’ it reminds me of people referring to the confirmation of spiritual and metaphysical realms as a result of quantum physics. It is simply labelled as an interpretation due to the fact that it upsets so many belief systems and long-held preconceived ideas.
The Takeaway
The story of human history has a lot of holes. From the UFO extraterrestrial phenomena to the discovery of strange skeletal remains, to the rejection of Darwinism all the way to the existence of intelligence ancient civilizations like Atlantis, and others that thrived possibly millions of years ago, we are like, as author Graham Hancock coined, a species with amnesia. But perhaps we are starting to remember. Perhaps our only two explanations are incorrect, or perhaps they’re both correct, combined with other factors. The point is, what we’ve been told is not true, and the recognition of that fact will lead us on the path towards true discovery, and away from the concealment and manipulation of information and truth.
I’m not saying this is how humans are created, perhaps it is just some sort of glimpse into something much bigger that took place billions of years ago?
Is de mens gemaakt in een laboratorium? Officier vertelt wat hij zag tijdens het Stargate Project
Is de mens gemaakt in een laboratorium? Officier vertelt wat hij zag tijdens het Stargate Project
Het Stargate Project werd in 1978 in het leven geroepen door het Amerikaanse leger om onderzoek te doen naar parapsychologische fenomenen zoals remote viewing, telepathie, telekinese en helderziendheid.
Inmiddels zijn veel geheime documenten over het project openbaar gemaakt. Het is onduidelijk waarom het succesvolle project plotseling werd beëindigd.
Het Stanford Research Institute (SRI) en verschillende inlichtingendiensten experimenteerden met remote viewing.
Oorsprong van de mensheid
Eén van de mensen die deelnamen aan deze experimenten was Joseph McMoneagle. Hij was één van de meest succesvolle remote viewers.
Hij werd zelfs opgenomen in het Legioen van Verdienste, een Amerikaanse onderscheiding, omdat hij cruciale inlichtingen had aangeleverd die niet via andere bronnen verkregen konden worden.
Eén van de experimenten had betrekking op de oorsprong van de mensheid.
Laboratorium
Gedurende een 129 minuten durende sessie zag officier McMoneagle naar eigen zeggen een kustlijn van iets wat leek op een primitieve aarde, zo’n 30 tot 50 miljoen na het uitsterven van de dinosaurussen.
Langs de kust zag hij protomensen, harige dieren die rechtop liepen en die ongeveer 1,2 meter lang waren.
Hij kreeg de indruk dat ze daar waren neergezet. “Ze stamden niet af van eerdere soorten, maar waren gemaakt in een laboratorium,” zei hij.
Mensen
“Ik zie een laboratorium waar ze deze dieren maken met behulp van genen,” aldus McMoneagle tijdens de sessie. “Waarom zouden ze dat doen? Kunnen wij dat ook?”
“Het is alsof ze eieren maken door ze te injecteren met een mix van DNA of delen van genen,” klonk het.
Tegen het einde van de sessie zag hij hoe deze wezens steeds groter werden en over meer vermogens beschikten, en uiteindelijk mensen werden.
A triangular UFO that photographs show resembled a flying stingray was seen recently in Ohio near the site of a famous encounter 45 years ago between a UFO and a military helicopter – an encounter the military acknowledged but has never resolved. Have the aliens returned? Why was there no encounter this time? Or is it one of ours?
“It looked just like a sting ray and was all black. I have the original 2 photos of the craft as well as zoomed screen shots which show the craft in very plain view.”
This report comes from the site UFOStalker.com (includes five photos) which covers sightings on MUFON. The witness saw the UFO on September 3rd, 2018, and admitted that he was taking photos of a drill site with his father and neither heard nor saw anything unusual. However, they spotted the UFO in two photos taken no more than two seconds apart. Even under magnification, they admitted being unable to tell if the UFO was ascending or descending, but figured, because of the location of the pointy end, it was heading towards the Mansfield Lahm Air National Guard Base in the nearby city of Mansfield where the 179th Airlift Wing (179 AW) unit is stationed.
That’s where the story gets interesting. He claims the father showed the photo to “10-15 airmen from the wing” and none would admit to knowing what it is nor were any aware of unusual base activity on September 3rd. However, Perrysville is also the location of another report of a triangular UFO in 2016. Also, the witness claims that the photo becomes “distorted” when it is forwarded via email.
Then there’s the famous incident over Mansfield on October 6, 1973, when an Army Reserve helicopter with four crew members returning to Cleveland “encountered a near midair collision with an unidentified flying object” and filed an official signed report to their superiors. It has become known as the “Coyne/Helicopter” incident because the commander of the chopper was Major Larry Coyne, who retold the story numerous times.
“We were flying along at about 2,500 feet when the crew chief on the helicopter observed a red light on the east horizon. He then informed me that the light was closing on the helicopter — that it was coming at us on a collision course. I looked to the right and observed that the object became bigger and the light became brighter, and I began to descend the helicopter toward the ground, to get out of the collision course path. We were descending and this object was like a missile locked onto the helicopter, only it came at us on a perpendicular angle, to hit us almost broadside. It looked like we were going to collide with it and we braced for impact, and then I heard the crewmen in the back say, ‘Look up!’ and I observed this craft stopped directly in front of us — stopped — it was hovering, right over the helicopter! It was a bright green light. And all of the red night lights that we utilize for night navigation were dissolved in this green light — the whole cabin turned green. It hit all of us directly in the face. We assumed it was a high-performance fighter, but when it stopped directly in front of us, then all four of us realized that was no high-performance aircraft. This craft, from the angle that we saw it, was cigar-shaped. It had no wings, no vertical or horizontal stabilizer, was approximately 60 feet long, 15-20 feet in height.”
So, the Mansfield, Ohio, area has another unexplained UFO incident. While the shapes are dissimilar, the proximity to an air base is not, lending credence to them being secret military aircraft sightings that the military is not interested in revealing, even to its own personnel. Also, the “cigar shape” was a common UFO descriptor in the UFO-crazy 70’s while the “triangle” is popular today, matching the description of the rumored TR-3B. Forty-five years later, the question still remains … is the military becoming more open about UFOs or is it (or some other foreign military) responsible for the sightings?
If you live in the Mansfield area, have your phone ready and keep looking!
History is filled with all manner of mysteries that continue to perplex us well into modern times, and in many ways it almost seems as if there is just as much that we don’t know as that which we do. Among some of the oddities that tend to emerge from the depths of history are various artifacts and objects that defy easy classification and manage to confuse and compel. Such strange items might simply puzzle us, while others threaten to change history as we know it, but all are elusive oddities we struggle to understand. From out of place artifacts that should not exist, to strange objects that defy understanding, to just plain weird discoveries, here is a selection of strange historical oddities that have been found over the years.
Many such strange discoveries take the form of ancient artifacts that have turned up in places where they have no business being. In 1933, an archeological dig headed by archaeologist José García Payón in Mexico’s Toluca Valley, just 43 miles from Mexico City, came across a rather strange find among the many pre and post-Columbian artifacts uncovered at the site. The area was determined to have been a grave site, and as such had many grave offerings left by long forgotten visitors, such as various objects made of gold, copper, turquoise, rock crystal, jet, bone, shell and pottery, all dated to between 1476 and 1510 AD, but there amongst them was found a small terra cotta head that did not fit any of the known designs for the people of that region. Indeed, it was to prove far stranger.
When the head was examined, it was immediately apparent that it was very old, and that it had a distinctive style very similar to artifacts found in ancient Rome, which didn’t seem to make any sense at all, as this was a pre-Columbian grave site in Mexico. Later carbon dating done on the head itself put its origins at somewhere between around the 9th and 13th century AD , making it far older than the site it was found at, and generating theories that it was evidence of some sort of contact between the ancient Romans and the Mesoamericans. For his part, Payón himself sort of swept the strange find under the carpet, not publishing anything on the finding until 1960. In later years what has come to be known as the Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca head has been further discussed and analyzed, and in 2001 it was examined by the archeologist Romeo H. Hristov, of the University of New Mexico. Hristov came to the conclusion that it actually dated to the 2nd century AD, and that due to its age and the distinctive hairstyle and beard of the head that it must have been a Roman artifact that had been brought to the region in pre-Columbian times, an assertion that would be shared by Bernard Andreae, a director emeritus of the German Institute of Archaeology in Rome, Italy, who would write:
[the head] is without any doubt Roman, and the lab analysis has confirmed that it is ancient. The stylistic examination tells us more precisely that it is a Roman work from around the II century A.D., and the hairstyle and the shape of the beard present the typical traits of the Severian emperors period [193-235 A.D.], exactly in the ‘fashion’ of the epoch.
The Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca head
The origins of the mysterious head and how it would up in Mexico have continued to be discussed and debated, and there have been many other ideas on the matter. For some it was simply an artifact brought over by early European explorers or even Vikings in pre-Columbian times, although how it ended up at the Mexican grave site is unclear. It could have also been brought over at some point by traders from Asia, such as China or India, where it somehow managed to venture out to that site. It could even have somehow drifted to Mexico from some far away Roman shipwreck or could just be a complete hoax that was planted at the site as a prank. For now the mysteries swirl, but one thing for sure is that an ancient Roman terra cotta head is certainly a strange thing to turn up outside of Mexico City.
Almost as strange was a discovery made in 1954, when an amateur archeologist by the name of Guy Mellgren stumbled across something decidedly while exploring in the state of Maine, in the United States. Mellgren had been poking around at the site of what was once a Native American settlement at Naskeag Point on Penobscot Bay in Brooklin, Maine, when he found a treasure trove of old Native artifacts, but as he sifted through his find he came across what appeared to be an ancient silver coin, which seemed jarringly out of place there amongst the Native relics. Unsure of what he had found, Mellgren brought the coin to specialists and things would get even weirder still.
Experts who examined the highly corroded coin at first thought it to be a 12th century British penny, and it was subsequently sorted of filed away with the other relics, but in 1978 the coin was re-examined and found to in fact be a very old Norwegian coin, dating all the way back to the reign of Olaf Kyrre, who was King of Norway between the years of 1067 to 1093 AD. This has been confirmed by other experts and is not really in dispute, but what is less clear is how it ended up in a Native American settlement that dates to 1180 to 1235. Although Norse Vikings from settlements in Greenland are known to have reached areas of Newfoundland long before Columbus arrived on these shores, how would a Viking coin find its way to Maine in pre-Columbian America, far south of where Vikings were ever thought to have ventured? Theories have ranged from that the Vikings did travel south, where they made contact with the Natives of the region, which would rewrite history as we know it, or that Natives from further north traded the coin with other tribes, after which it made its way to Maine being passed along. What makes it all even more baffling is that among the 30,000 artifacts found at the site this one coin is the only thing at all that is of Norse origin. Of course there is also the idea that the coin was a hoax, but in the end the “Goddard Coin,” also called the “Maine Penny” remains a curious unsolved mystery.
The Maine Penny
Other much larger out of place artifacts have been found on occasion, and a good example would be a gigantic, 80-ton boulder found on a hillside at Hidden Mountain, in Los Lunas, New Mexico in 1933. In this year a Frank Hibben, an archaeologist from the University of New Mexico, was led to the monolithic stone by a local guide, who claimed it had first been found in the 1880s. Upon this enormous slab of solid rock was a flattened area upon which was inscribed a passage written in ancient Hebrew, which is odd considering the inscription was estimated as being anywhere between 500 to 2,000 years old, putting it well out of the time frame for ancient Paleo Hebrew to have any business being in North America.
Experts that have examined what has come to be known as the Los Lunas Decalogue Stone believe it may have been used as an ancient Samaritan mezuzah, which were boulders placed at synagogues and other important places and etched with passages from the Decalogue, but this still doesn’t explain why or how it ended up all the way over in New Mexico up to 2,000 years ago. While there has been much talk that it is evidence of pre-Columbian visitation by Semitic explorers, there is also much criticism that it is likely a hoax, either by settlers in the 1800s or perhaps even carried out by Hibben himself to support his own fringe theories on Pre-Clovis migration to North America. Archaeologist Kenneth Feder is among the skeptics, and has flat out denied the authenticity of the stone, saying:
There are no pre-Columbian ancient Hebrew settlements, no sites containing the everyday detritus of a band of ancient Hebrews, nothing that even a cursory knowledge of how the archaeological record forms would demand there would be. From an archaeological standpoint, that’s plainly impossible.
The Los Lunas boulder
However, the stone has still managed to be widely discussed and debated, and it is far from solved. It is hard to study, as its immense size make it unable to be moved to a museum, vandals have destroyed portions of the inscription, and there has never been a consensus on where this mysterious boulder came from or why it holds ancient Hebrew. Is this monstrous boulder with its enigmatic markings evidence of the pre-Columbian presence of Hebrew speaking settlers in the New World, or is it all fake? Who knows?
Some odd historical objects are not necessarily out of place, but still manage to remain confounding and anomalous all the same. In 1929, German theologian Gustav Adolf Deissmann was cataloging items at the vast library of the Topkapı Palace, in Istanbul, Turkey, when he came across an old, dusty bundled up wad of seemingly discarded gazelle skin parchment. It would have seemed like just basically garbage at the time, but when the parchment was unfurled it would prove to hold within it quite an amazing discovery indeed.
There upon the parchment was a portion of an intricate map, unlike anything Deissmann had ever seen, and when it was analyzed by experts it was found to have been made by the Ottoman admiral and cartographer Piri Reis in 1513 AD. Although only a third of the map was intact, the rest missing, it was found that this was not just any ordinary old map, as it seemed to be part of an actual map of the world, and it was shockingly accurate for its time. Here was a map that correctly outlined such far flung lands as Europe, Africa, Caribbean islands, and even South America, islands such as the Azores and Canary Islands, and Japan, as well as uncharted areas such as Nova Scotia, the coast of Antarctica, and the Andes Mountains, at a time when many of these places had not even been discovered yet and all with impressive accuracy that should have been impossible at the time. Indeed, some experts have even said that it simply could not have been done with anything less than satellite imagery, and this is a map drawn up in 1513.
The Piri Reis map
No one could figure out how this could have been done, but there were hints in that the map listed some of its sources, including numerous other Arab and Indian maps, and even mentioning a long lost and nearly mythical map supposedly compiled by Christopher Columbus, which is thought to have been the first map of the world that he is speculated to have made while in the West Indies. This map has never been found, but it is strongly believed that somehow Piri Reis had seen it and used it together with around 20 other maps to craft his own, although none of the source maps mentioned, nor the missing portions of the map, have ever been located. To this day the stunning accuracy of the Piri Reis Map remains a baffling anomaly. How did he get this information? How was he able to map out places not even known to have been discovered at the time? What would the lost portions reveal? We may never know.
Some historical anomalies are rather numerous, yet still manage to baffle as no one is really sure what they are. Throughout many portions of what was once the Roman Empire there have been found over 100 small bronze objects measuring around 2 to 5 inches across and with a unique shape of 12 flat pentagonal faces with holes and knobs upon them. While many examples of these artifacts have been found, and they are most certainly Roman in origin, the problem is no one has the slightest idea of what they were used for. There are no known written records or design plans for them, and these “dodecahedrons” have been speculated as being everything from navigational tools, to zodiac instruments, to astronomy tools, knitting instruments, calendars, candlestick holders or even children’s toys. Your guess is as good as anyone’s, and although there are many of these objects and they seem to have been rather common they will likely nevertheless remain an impenetrable mystery.
A Roman dodecahedron
Not all enigmatic historical objects are so old, and there have been a few such oddities in more recent times as well. In 1968 a building in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States was being renovated when a wall was torn down to reveal hiding behind it a brand new looking World War I era motorcycle with a distinctive design no one had ever seen before. It had a unique engine design not seen in any other motorcycle of the time, an innovative and one-of-a-kind brake system, had specially made parts not found in any other motorcycle then or since, and overall it was far more advanced than anything else of its era. It also still ran smoothly and seemed none the worse for wear after decades hidden away forgotten behind a wall. Most oddly of all, the one-of-a-kind bike had the word “Traub” written upon it, its meaning just as cryptic as anything else about it.
When the first owners of the building were tracked down they were able to shed a bit of light on the mystery, saying that their son had stolen the motorcycle and hidden it behind the wall before leaving to fight overseas during the war, but this did little to explain where it came from in the first place or who built it. The mysterious motorcycle has since become part of the collection of the Wheels Through Time Museum, and to this day there has not been found any other example of this bike and its design, nor any other parts for it, no one knows who made it, and it remains a cipher.
The Traub Motorcycle
Even more recently was an unusual find made in 2014 by rangers at the Great Basin National Park, in Nevada. As they were patrolling a rather remote area of the park they found a tree in the middle of nowhere that had leaning against it a very old looking rifle, just neatly propped up and abandoned out there in the wilderness. It was soon found that the rifle was an antique Model 1873 Winchester rifle that had been manufactured between the years of 1873 and 1919, and which would have been considered a valuable heirloom. It was also in very good condition, and even now no one can figure out why anyone would just leave this old-fashioned antique weapon out there against that tree. Was it left there by some pioneer, gold prospector, or hunter from the 19th century? Was it put out there by a gun collector for reasons we will never know? Was it left behind by a time traveler? Who knows? The gun sits in a museum with no known owner.
Here we have looked at just a sampling of odd and unusual historical objects that have managed to evade understanding either by being out of place, coming out of nowhere, or being just plain weird. It is interesting to think that for as much as we think we like to know about history and for as much progress we have made in chronicling it there can still be these oddities that pop up from time to time to challenge our perceptions and serve as frustrating riddles we may never solve. It certainly seems that history is far from fully illuminated, and hiding out there in the nooks, crannies, and shadows are plenty of anomalies that manage to stay obscured in the mists of time, teasing us from the recesses of past eras.
Here’s one really interesting footage that was filmed over Albufeira in Portugal. This was recorded on 13th August 2017 but it was just published online now,
Witness report:
Two big balls flying by with different speeds
I was walking the dog, and when I looked back to call him, I saw this two big balls flying by. They have different speed. It was really weird… I stopped the video to take a picture. It’s not so good one… I thought immediately it was an UFO, I am near the Faro Airport and know exactly how are the planes and helicopters. When I get home I showed the video to everyone and everyone says it was really very weird. I tried to get some answers online in portuguese, and nobody could explain anything, or others didn’t even respond my emails. Someone gave me this website to report it, but I didn’t do it for a long long time, just because I don’t understand some of this questionary. Recorded with Samsung Galaxy S5
Famous 86-mile UFO Hot Pursuit Still Defies Air Force Explanation
Famous 86-mile UFO Hot Pursuit Still Defies Air Force Explanation
Two Portage County, Ohio sheriff deputies spotted an abandoned vehicle along a road near Ravenna at 5 am on April 17, 1966. Deputy Dale Spaur got out of his car while Wilbur “Barney” Neff remained his.
Deputy Spaur heard a strange humming noise, and when he turned around, he saw a giant unidentified flying object. The UFO reportedly rose from behind the trees and hovered over them as the ground drenched in bright light.
An 86-mile chase then followed at speeds of over 100 mph from Ohio to Pennsylvania that took the deputies and a few more on a harrowing ride.
The bizarre trek ended in Conway, Pennsylvania but for law enforcement officers involved, it would last for the rest of their lives.
The close encounter marks the fourth instalment of The Parajournal, The Times video series by award-winning videographer Gwen Titley.
The dispatcher initially instructed to shoot the object but Sgt. Henry Shoenfelt told Spaur and Neff to stand down, wondering if the two have found a government weather balloon.
Police Chief Gerald Buchert, who was on patrol in nearby Mantua, heard the call of the deputies about lights in the sky. He immediately went home to get his camera. He snapped photos of what he described as two table saucers put together.
As the UFO zipped away toward the east, Spaur and Neff gave chase.
Spaur said that the UFO looked like the head of a flashlight from the ground. He estimated the object to be approximately 40 feet wide and 20 feet tall.
He later would say to reporters that the lines of the object were very distinct and it looked like somebody had control over it as it was not just floating around. It could manoeuvre, he added.
Spaur said the chase slowed down near Rochester as cars got tangled up in a mess of bridges.
When Spaur came out from under the bridge, the UFO came down and waited for them as if it knew these two cars were following.
As Spaur and Neff got too close to the object, it would speed up. The two did not able to follow it as they were now low on gas and their tires were balding. They decided to pull into an Atlantic service station where Conway Patrolman Frank Panzanella met them.
By 6:15 am, Spaur noticed three fighter jets chasing the aircraft. He then alerted the dispatch about it. The officers could pick up chatter on their police radios from the pilots.
The object hovered then shot straight out of sight.
Unfortunately, Buchert’s photos were severely fogged and had processing defects. It proved nothing.
The U.S. government has been keeping an eye on unidentified flying objects. Here’s everything they’ve been keeping from you.
1. The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program

In December 2017, a blockbuster report in The New York Times revealed that the U.S. Department of Defense had been funding a program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), focused on investigating reports of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs. The Defense Department told the newspaper that the secret program started in 2007 and had been shut down in 2012, but Luis Elizondo, the military intelligence officer who came forward to say he had been in charge of it, insisted that the investigation efforts had continued after that date without specific funding. Find out 10 other secret U.S. government operations that have also been revealed.
2. Fighter jets catch UFO on video

Although the revelation that the U.S. government had been studying UFOs was exciting, the two videos that accompanied the article got lots more play—they show 2004 infrared footage of an unexplained object filmed from Navy fighter jets. One of the pilots, David Fravor, described the scene to the Times: “It accelerated like nothing I’ve ever seen.” He told the paper the encounter left him feeling “pretty weirded out.”
3. Scientists aren’t convinced the footage shows extraterrestrial visitors

“The only real piece of evidence that was widely available were some short videos showing a peanut-shaped object in front of a Navy jet,” says Seth Shostak, senior astronomer and fellow at the SETI Institute, which is dedicated to exploring the origins of life and intelligence in the universe. James Oberg, a space journalist and historian and a former NASA engineer, is similarly skeptical: “Nobody’s seen the original material and its context,” he says. Oberg also points out that although we think of pilots as particularly reliable witnesses, they are also susceptible to the tendency of the brain to try to make sense of confusing sights by using past experiences to fill in gaps. He explains that fireball swarms caused by satellites re-entering Earth’s atmosphere have been perceived as “a structured object with lights mounted on it” by people of varying education levels watching from both rural and urban areas of many countries. These are the 12 UFO myths scientists wish you would stop believing.
4. AATIP was requested by Congress

Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who was Senate majority leader in 2007, requested funding for the project, which was cosponsored by Alaska Republican Ted Stevens and Hawaii Democrat Daniel K. Inouye. Reid told The New York Times that he’s proud of the program: “I’m not embarrassed or ashamed or sorry I got this thing going.” While it ran, the program collected pilot reports, camera footage, and radar data, and tried to match it all with known aircraft. Luis Elizondo, the official who ran the program, told Wired that they often couldn’t match aircraft they investigated with anything they knew about. Check out these famous people who said they saw UFOs.
5. UFO enthusiasts were ecstatic

Jan Harzan, the executive director of the Mutual UFO Network, which collects and investigates sightings, told Space.com columnist Leonard David that the publicizing of AATIP data would “make it safe for our scientists and engineers to study this phenomenon without fear of ridicule or retribution, but with funding provided by Congress and private industry.”
6. The Pentagon shut down AATIP in 2012

Still, Seth Shostak points out that the closure of the program doesn’t exactly make him think that it was finding lots of useful UFO information. “If there were compelling evidence for out-of-this-world craft, I would expect that the AATIP study would have continued, and not been canceled,” he says. “Programs are killed for lack of progress, not in the face of significant progress!” Check out more about the secrets of Area 51.
7. To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science

Elizondo resigned from his post at the Defense Department around the same time he was speaking to the press about AATIP, and he took a job with a new private organization called To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science. The new venture aims to raise money for UFO research, new technology development, and entertainment projects, including documentaries and science-fiction novels. To the Stars released a new video clip in March 2018 that shows Pentagon footage of an object being tracked by a Navy jet over the East Coast three years earlier. This new video isn’t any more convincing to James Oberg, who thinks the releases are part of the To the Stars publicity push. “These selected portions [of military footage] were released by a private group raising money,” he says.
8. AATIP collected metal alloys from unidentified aerial phenomena

This point in the AATIP exposé included very few details, but The New York Times specified that the company running the Defense Department program (a private contractor) had modified buildings in Las Vegas to properly store the materials for study. A Live Sciencearticle by Rafi Letzter ran this idea past some metallurgists and chemists, who didn’t think there could be any metal alloys (mixtures of elements) that would be difficult to identify. May Nyman, a professor in the Oregon State University Department of Chemistry, told the site that it would be possible to determine if an alloy had come from space by studying it for signs of ionization. (And alloys do come from space—most often in the form of nickel-iron meteorites.) Find out just how many Americans believe in aliens.
9. Project Blue Book

AATIP isn’t the first U.S. government UFO investigation program—between 1947 and 1969, Project Blue Book collected more than 12,000 reports of UFO sightings. More than 90 percent were explained away (as being weather, known astronomical events, etc.), but 700 didn’t have ready explanations. However, after a research committee headquartered at the University of Colorado examined the unexplained reports and found no evidence of extraterrestrial visitations, Project Blue Book was shuttered.
10. Other countries keep UFO files, too

The United Kingdom’s Air Ministry (and later Ministry of Defence) collected UFO files between 1959 and 2009, when it too closed down its program. In France, a UFO program started in 1977—known now as GEIPAN, it’s still operating. Residents who see something they can’t explain file official reports, and the agency collects them for researchers and scientists but doesn’t independently investigate them. When GEIPAN put its archives online in 2007, so many people logged on to read them that the website crashed. As of May 2018, more than 2,700 cases had been submitted to the database.
11. China’s new radio dish was built to listen for extraterrestrial signals

It’s more than 1600 feet in diameter, which is twice the size of the biggest U.S. radio telescope, the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. That means it will be sensitive enough to find celestial objects such as distant galaxies and pulsars, but China’s government also specifically built it in order to search for signals sent from intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe.
12. Project 1794
M. Cornelius/Shutterstock
In the 1950s, during flying-saucer fever, the U.S. government actually tried to build a disk-shaped aircraft. They were hoping it would go as high as 100,000 feet and fly at around 2,600 miles per hour, and it was meant to take off and land vertically. After spending more than $3 million (that would be more than $26 million today) on the top-secret development program, it didn’t pan out and was scrapped. Next, find out about 12 crazy conspiracy theories that actually turned out to be true.
Still, Seth Shostak points out that the closure of the program doesn’t exactly make him think that it was finding lots of useful UFO information. “If there were compelling evidence for out-of-this-world craft, I would expect that the AATIP study would have continued, and not been canceled,” he says. “Programs are killed for lack of progress, not in the face of significant progress!”
Merrylin Cryptid Museum: Proof for the Existence of Mythical Beings or Elaborate Hoaxes?
Numerous mythical creatures have been created Over the course of human history. Most of them were based on misunderstandings of real animals, plants, or even other human populations. Greek Legends of satyrs and dog-faced barbarians, for example, may have been based on distorted traveler’s accounts of apes and monkeys. Is it possible, however, that some mythical creatures may actually exist more or less as they were described in legend and myth? This is the claim of the Merrylin Cryptid Museum, which contains what it claims to be the bodily remains of a variety of fantastic creatures ranging from dragons to aliens. They could be genuine, but they also resemble specimens that turned out later to be hoaxes.
The creatures in the museum were apparently found in the 1960s in the basement of a mansion owned by Thomas Theodore Merrylin, a crypto-zoologist and an eccentric archaeologist. The specimens were found enclosed in boxes and resembled the withered skeletal remains of various fantastic creatures: mermaids, faeries, gnomes, dragons, vampires, and even some extraterrestrials. In addition to skeletal remains, some of the original tissue such as fur and scales were preserved on the remains.
Not all the specimens are fantastic. There are a few dinosaurs, for example, and some specimens which could just be unusual animals. On the other hand, items like regalia related to Cthulhu and the remains of an ancient pharaoh are less likely to be genuine, since they imply much more improbable things than just the existence of mythical creatures.
Just because the remains of creatures like werewolves have been found doesn’t mean that we can conclude that they exist. There was at least one case where the body of a fantastic creature was found but later turned out to be fake and was created through sewing together corpses of different animals. This example would be the Fiji Mermaid.
The Fiji Mermaid gained a surge of fame when, in the year 1842 in New York City, it was presented by a man claiming to be an English naturalist by the name of Dr. J. Griffin of the “British Lyceum of Natural History.” The tale he told was that he found the mermaid off the coast of the Fiji Islands in the south Pacific. Dr. Griffin was approached by a man named P.T. Barnum. According to the story, P.T. Barnum tried to pressure Dr. Griffin into putting the mermaid on display at his museum by publicizing the existence of the mermaid by giving woodcuts of mermaids to the press and claiming that they were depictions of the mermaids found by Dr. Griffin.

After the creature was displayed, it was quickly revealed to be a hoax. It turned out that P.T. Barnum and Dr. Griffin were working together all along to pull off the deception. Dr. Griffin was not even a real naturalist but a conman named Levi Lyman. The Fiji Mermaid was in fact not a mermaid but a creature created by sewing the tail of a fish to the torso of a monkey. This particular act of sewing the tales of fish to the upper bodies of primates was an artform in Japan and the East Indies used to create half-monkey, half-fish figurines for religious purposes. The Fiji Mermaid was probably one of these.
The Fiji Mermaid was most likely made around 1810 by a Japanese fisherman and sold to a British sea captain named Samuel Barret Eades in 1822 by Dutch merchants who had been to the East Indies or Japan. Eades attempted to make a profit from presenting it as a genuine mermaid. But his effort to gain a fortune through this turned out to be unsuccessful. After his death, it was passed to his son who sold it to a showman named Moses Kimball. P.T. Barnum in fact leased the Fiji Mermaid from Moses Kimball to present it as an actual creature discovered by Dr. Griffin.
A depiction of what would later come to be known as the Fiji mermaid, commissioned by Captain Samuel Barrett Eades.
A more recent version of this kind of hoax was done with photography, when during a photoshop contest, human skeletons were superimposed onto paleontological excavation sites involving the excavation of mammoth bones to make it appear as if they were unearthing the bones of giant humans. This was of course done with photography, not sewing together animal corpses, but it shows how easy it is to make a mythical creature look real in the modern world.
Could the specimens at the Merrylin Cryptid Museum be genuine? There are too many to dismiss them all, but there are some issues to consider. The astronomer Carl Sagan once said that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The reality of the Ctulhu regalia found at the museum, for example, would imply that H.P. Lovecraft’s fiction was really history disguised as fiction, something he never claimed and something that is not supported by any other evidence.
Some of the creatures also do not follow known biological and physical laws. If these creatures turned out to be real, we would not just have to revise our views of what is mythical, but also our understanding of biology and natural history. This would certainly be the case if the dinosaur specimens were genuine.
Another example of this would be one specimen of a lycanthrope, which supposedly represents the remains of a human in the process of transforming into a lycanthrope. The problem with this being real is that the process described would likely kill anyone who went through it, making it improbable that this is a genuine lycanthrope.

For the moment, we cannot come to conclusions since none of these specimens have been examined by teams of experts. Until then all we can do is guess. From the available data though, the proponents of the reality of these extraordinary creatures will require some extraordinary evidence.

A video of the strange anomaly was captured on September 11, and Ms Gilley uploaded it to her YouTube page.
In the video Ms Gilley says: “I bumped up contrast and saturation; I have seen many forms of pixels even square one but never have seen laser beam pixels?
“That's a new one!”
Many people agreed with Ms Gilley, coming up with their own theories about what the lights could be.

One person asked if the beams were a “message home”.
Others pointed out that the lights may not be coming from Saturn, but rather are being pointed at the massive planet instead.
However, some were unconvinced by the sighting, believing that it is just rendering issues.
A user by the name of MaceMan commented beneath the YouTube video: “The short answer is that it is probably compression artifacting.
Some have claimed Saturn is home to aliens

“As you said before, it wasn't the ‘original’, and by copying the file over (as well as compression in your video editing software) this effect shows up.”
Some people are convinced that Saturn is a hotspot for alien activity.
One of NASA’s former top engineers previously claimed that there are alien spaceships hiding in Saturn’s rings.
The claim was made by Dr Norman Bergrun, a well respected engineer who held a position at NASA’s Ames Research Centre.
Dr Bergrun said that "living alien UFO spaceships” are using the rings of Saturn as a hiding spot

Dr Bergrun said that "living alien UFO spaceships” are using the rings of Saturn as a hiding spot and that they are “proliferating” at am alarming rate.
The former NASA employee has previously said that the amount of spaceships has reached “critical” levels, and that authorities should keep an eye on it.
He added that the rings have become so compact with UFOs that they are now starting to gather around the likes of Jupiter and Neptune.
DIERENVoordat het een van de grootste toeristische trekpleisters in Amerika werd, liepen er uiteenlopende wezens door de Grand Canyon. Zo zijn de oudste pootafdrukken afkomstig van een primitief dier dat 310 miljoen jaar geleden op vier poten door de kloof dwaalde. Diagonaal.
De restanten werden onlangs teruggevonden, nadat het gesteente rondom afgebrokkelde. Normaal vervagen zulke voetafdrukken als deze, maar door een gelukkig toeval verhardden de afdrukken van dit dier tot zandsteen, waardoor paleontologen zich over een nieuw vraagstuk kunnen buigen. De sporen zijn immers bijzonder eigenaardig door hun vreemde oriëntatie. Elke pootafdruk is in een hoek van veertig graden ten opzichte van de looprichting in het zand getekend. Daardoor lijkt het wel alsof het dier niet recht vooruit, maar diagonaal ging.
Hoe dan ook gaat het om een bijzondere vondst volgens Stephen Rowland, paleontoloog van de University of Nevada in Las Vegas. Het zijn immers afdrukken van 310 miljoen jaar geleden. Maar de mysterieuze gang van de duinenloper roept toch wat vragen op. Zo hebben paleontologen geen enkel idee over welke diersoort het zou gaan.
Stephen RowlandHet dier liep met een diagonale tred.
Rond die tijd was er in ieder geval voor het eerst sprake van reptielen die op zoogdieren begonnen te lijken. Ze waren niet langer afhankelijk van water voor hun voortplanting en hadden een harde huid die hen beschermde tegen uitdroging.
Schots soortgenootje Eerder zijn er in Schotland al eens soortgelijke pootafdrukken gevonden. Die zouden afkomstig zijn van een soortgelijk, maar geëvolueerd reptiel dat er 229 miljoen jaar geleden leefde. De eigenaar van de afdrukken in de Grand Canyon kan daardoor wel eens de voorloper zijn van een soortgenootje dat later in Schotland voorkwam.
Voor zulke besluiten zullen onderzoekers jammer genoeg op zoek moeten gaan naar meer details. Een skelet en tanden zouden bijvoorbeeld al helpen. Ook over de tred van het dier kan men geen uitspraak doen zonder verdere aanwijzingen. Het dier kon ook gewoon diagonaal zijn gegaan omdat het bergafwaarts liep en zo probeerde om niet uit te schuiven.
WETENSCHAPDe Parker-zonnesonde, in augustus gelanceerd vanop Cape Canaveral in het Amerikaanse Florida, is maandag tot op 42,73 miljoen kilometer van de zon gekomen. Nooit eerder kwam een ruimtevaartuig zo dicht bij het hemellichaam. Dat heeft de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie Nasa gemeld.
Op 12 augustus werd de sonde gelanceerd. Sindsdien is hij op volle snelheid onderweg naar de zon. Parker heeft maandag de zon benaderd tot op 42,73 miljoen kilometer: een record. Het vorige record was in handen van de Duits-Amerikaanse ruimtesonde Helios 2. Die kwam in 1976 tot op 43,43 miljoen kilometer van de zon.
“De sonde werd 78 dagen geleden gelanceerd en we zijn al dichter bij onze ster gekomen dan ooit tevoren”, zegt projectleider Andy Driesman. Intussen zet Parker zijn weg naar de zon verder: in 2024 moet de sonde zich op iets minder dan 7 miljoen kilometer van de zon bevinden.
1.217 graden Celsius
Het ruimtevaartuig kost 1,5 miljard dollar. Die kosten zijn deels te verklaren door het zeer dikke zonneschild: Parker zal te maken krijgen met de bijzonder hoge temperaturen binnen de corona, de atmosfeer rond de zon. Tijdens de missie, die zeven jaar duurt, zal de sonde 24 banen rond de zon afleggen en daar temperaturen tot 1.217 graden Celsius tegenkomen. Op topsnelheid bereikt de sonde snelheden tot 690.000 kilometer/uur.
Belgisch
De missie heeft ook een Belgisch kantje. Zo ontwikkelde het ruimtevaartcentrum van de universiteit van Luik een van de vier instrumenten aan boord, de WISPR of Wide-Field Imager For Solar Probe Plus. Het gaat om twee telescopen die opnames maken van de corona en de zonnewind.

ENORM OBJECT ONTDEKT OP JUPITER ( VIDEO )
ENORM OBJECT ONTDEKT OP JUPITER ( VIDEO )
Wanneer je op reis gaat in de ruimte vertrekkend vanaf de zon, dan komt er na Mars, de enorme planeet Jupiter.
Een planeet die 1321 keer groter is dan de aarde, met talloze manen en waar veel meer dingen gebeuren dan wij denken.
Er is weer eens iets merkwaardigs verschenen op een door NASA vrijgegeven foto. Het betreft hier een opname van de planeet Jupiter en daar, aan de rand van de planeet, is iets merkwaardigs te ontdekken.
Volgens Scott Waring bestaat er geen enkele twijfel over dat we hier te maken hebben met een door buitenaardsen neergezette constructie op het oppervlak van Jupiter. Je ziet het gebouw als het ware uitsteken boven de wolkenlaag waarmee Jupiter is omringd en Waring zegt dat die bewolking bewust door buitenaardsen is gemaakt om de aanwezige beschavingen aan het oppervlak van de planeet te verbergen.
Wat ze daar volgens hem doen is een soort variatie van het cloaken (verbergen) van hun ruimteschepen door het maken van een wolk. Er kan tijdelijk iets misgegaan zijn, waardoor het cloaking mechanisme even niet goed werkte en dit gebouw zichtbaar werd.
Wanneer je de grootte van het object vergelijkt met de planeet en dan bedenkt dat Jupiter 1321 keer groter is dan de aarde, dan moet ook dit gebouw enorm groot zijn.
Het is niet de eerste keer dat de planeet Jupiter in het nieuws komt dit jaar voor wat betreft buitenaards leven. Dat wil zeggen, niet de planeet zelf, maar wel één van haar vele manen.
Formeel breken wetenschappers zich het hoofd over een maan die hoort bij de enorme planeet Jupiter. Deze maan, Ganymedes, is de grootste in ons zonnestelsel en is tevens iets heel anders dan men ons wil doen geloven.
In het midden van de jaren negentig werd er veel gesproken over een man met de naam Alex Collier. Deze man kwam met heel interessante informatie omtrent ons zonnestelsel en vooral ook buitenaards leven.
Hij verkreeg al deze kennis omdat hij als kind al was ontvoerd door buitenaardsen en dat hij als gevolg daarvan in contact staat met iemand van het sterrenstelsel Andromeda.
Eén van de dingen waar hij over vertelde tijdens zijn presentatie was één van de manen van de planeet Jupiter, Ganymedes genaamd.
Ganymedes is de grootste maan van Jupiter en tevens de grootste maan van ons hele zonnestelsel. Ze is groter dan de planeet Mercurius, maar heeft slechts half zoveel massa als die planeet. Ganymedes is ongeveer anderhalf keer zo groot als de Maan van de Aarde, twee keer zo groot als de dwergplaneet Pluto en heeft drie vierde van de omvang van Mars.[1] Aan de hand van het aantal kraters per vierkante kilometer wordt geschat dat de maan 3,5 tot 3 miljard jaar oud is, wat vergelijkbaar is met onze Maan.
En net zoals er vaak wordt gezegd dat onze maan een kunstmatige satelliet is, zo is dat volgens Collier ook het geval met Ganymedes. Het is een centrale hub voor veel buitenaards verkeer en volgens Collier was er water, zuurstof en een atmosfeer op Ganymedes.
In de tijd was er echter geen manier om te kunnen controleren of dat hetgeen Collier vertelde ook daadwerkelijk klopte.
Maar, sinds die tijd zijn er meer en meer opnames gemaakt door satellieten en ruimtetelescopen van deze bijzondere maan en lijken een aantal zaken de theorie van Collier te ondersteunen.
Eén van die dingen is een soort aurora op Ganymedes, die alleen maar veroorzaakt kan worden door een magnetisch veld, wat er weer op wijst dat Ganymedes inderdaad over water beschikt, heel veel water en zelfs meer dan al onze zeeën en oceanen bij elkaar.
Daarnaast zijn er andere bijzondere ontdekkingen gedaan op Ganymedes zoals te zien op de volgende afbeelding. Iets dat lijkt op een enorme donker getinte koepel, waarop zelfs de reflectie van het zonlicht is te zien.
Bovenstaande is wederom afkomstig van de man die de Men in Black op zijn dak heeft, de bekende Tyler van Secureteam en hij denkt dat net zoals met de planeet Venus waar we eerder over schreven, dat Ganymedes veel belangrijker is dan men ons wil doen geloven en dat ook in het geval van deze maan er alles aan wordt gedaan om de aandacht af te leiden.
The search for extraterrestrial life has been a dominant theme of both science fiction and astronomy for decades now. “Are we alone?” remains one of the burning questions of humanity, one that, depressingly, we may never answer. Aliens may be extinct, hiding from us, trapped by their own planets’ immense gravity, or maybe they don’t exist in the first place.
Wouldn’t that be the biggest bummer of all? In order to avoid the horrible realization that we may be the only living things stinking up the cosmos, one Netherlands-based company plans to take matters into their own hands by breeding bona fide extraterrestrials all on their own – extraterrestrial humans, that is.
SpaceLife Origin hails themselves as the world’s first “bio-tech & mission development company,” meaning their interests lie in developing both specialized medical equipment and then sending that equipment to space. According to their website, the company’s ultimate goal is to “make embryo conception in space feasible by 2021 and enable real human birth in space by 2024.”
Like many other tech visionaries, SpaceLife Origin Founder and CEO Kees Mulder says that his company wants to enable humanity to break the chains holding us onto this dying planet and secure a future among the stars:
If humanity wants to become a multi-planetary species, we also need to learn how to reproduce in space. SpaceLife Origin is thrilled to announce its Missions Program to enable sustainable life beyond earth. A world’s first and truly unique critical step in the future of mankind. We believe that any space company, agency or nation with ambitions for colonization of other planets will benefit from partnering with us for the successful execution and completion of their own plans.
SpaceLife Origin has three missions currently in development. The first, Mission Ark, is scheduled to launch in 2020 and will send special capsules into space containing human “Seeds-of-Life” cells to act as an interstellar insurance policy for all of humankind. The second mission, Mission Lotus, will launch a “Space-Embryo-Incubator” in 2021 and see human embryos form in low-Earth orbit before returning to Earth for in-utero fertilization and terrestrial birth.
What would aliens do with they human ‘seeds of life’ if they ever recovered it from one of these probes?
Finally, Mission Cradle is planned for 2024 and will see the world’s first extraterrestrial human born – if all goes according to SpaceLife Origin’s plan. The Mission Cradle mission proposes sending a pregnant woman into space for 24-36 hours to “give birth at 250 miles above Earth, accompanied by a trained, world-class medical team” aboard a space station. No word yet on how they plan to keep an extremely pregnant woman calm and healthy throughout a launch into space – not exactly the most stress-free environment.
While giving in birth in space makes for one heck of a story, a successful extraterrestrial birth would also lend hope to the dream of someday sending colonies of humans on multi-generational voyages to strange and distant new homes out among the stars. Could it happen in our lifetime?

Pterodactyl UFO Over Perrysville, Ohio Throws Shadow On Clouds, Sept 3, 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Sept 3, 2018
Location of sighting: Perrysville, Ohio, USA
Source: MUFON #95976
This is a report from MUFON that just came in yesterday. The person was looking at the photos when they got home an noticed a triangular UFO in excellent detail in one photo. The UFO is also throwing a shadow onto the cloud below...which is 100% amazing, because this means that UFO was freaking huge! I'm talking several times bigger than a 747. This UFO must have been cloaked because something that big would normally stand out like a sour thumb. So I say the digital eye caught this because it is more precise of an instrument than our flawed eye which misses out on a lot of the spectrum. The object also resembles a Pterodactyl...a flying dinosaur. Because its throwing a huge shadow on the cloud, that means this was giant in size, ruling out remote control planes, drones, kites, balloons...this one is a true mystery.
ISS astronauts return to Earth amid US-Russia tensions
ISS astronauts return to Earth amid US-Russia tensions
by Dana Rysmukhamedova
In space, US-Russia cooperation has been tight. On Earth, not so much
Two American astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut returned to Earth on Thursday wrapping up a six-month mission at the International Space Station as tensions between Washington and Moscow threaten a rare area of cooperation.

NASA astronauts Drew Feustel and Ricky Arnold and Oleg Artemyev of Roscosmos touched down on steppe land southeast of the Kazakh town of Dzhezkazgan at the expected time of 1145 GMT.
The landing came with Russian and US officials investigating the appearance of a mysterious hole in a Russian space craft docked at the orbiting station.
Detected in August, the hole caused an air leak on the ISS but was quickly sealed up.
This week the outspoken chief of the Russian space agency, Dmitry Rogozin, said investigators believed the small hole had been made deliberately and was not a manufacturing defect.
The official, who was placed under US sanctions over the Ukraine crisis in 2014, also bemoaned "problems" in the Russian space agency's cooperation with NASA that he attributed to interference from unnamed American officials.
Last month the Russian daily Kommersant reported that an investigation had probed the possibility that US astronauts deliberately drilled the hole in order to get a sick colleague sent back home—something Russian officials later denied.

ISS commander Feustel has called the suggestion that the crew was somehow involved "embarrassing" and NASA on Wednesday expressed doubts over the theory that the hole was the result of sabotage.
The US space agency said that ruling out defects "does not necessarily mean the hole was created intentionally or with mal-intent."
ISS astronauts are planning a spacewalk in November to gather more information on the hole.
The ISS is one of the few areas of tight Russia-US cooperation that had until now remained unaffected by the slump in ties, including after Washington's sanctions against Russia over Ukraine and other crises.
Earlier the ISS hosted the usual emotional goodbyes as the returning trio left Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency, NASA's Serena Auñón-Chancellor and Roscosmos' Sergey Prokopyev waiting for the next three-person crew's arrival.
The next launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan is scheduled for next Thursday.

The crew was all smiles on return to Earth, with Artemyev first out of the descent module and shown tucking into a fruit and vegetable feast that included a giant cantaloupe melon in footage broadcast by Roscosmos.
He also wrote "spasibo" (thank you) and signed his name on the craft in chalk.
Feustel, 53, invoked Hollywood comedy actor Jack Black's character Nacho Libre as he tweeted farewell to life on the space station.
"I have had my 'glory days in the hot sun' and now it's time to come home," he wrote late Wednesday in a tweet that included a photo of the sun taken from the ISS.
While he was on his third mission in space, 47-year-old Artemyev and 54-year-old Arnold had previously only served on one mission each.

Their journey that began with a blastoff from Baikonur in March was particularly poignant for Arnold, who during his debut mission in 2009 helped build the space station he has now spent 197 days living in.
While aboard the ISS, Arnold, who has a teaching background, gave lessons on space that Sharon Christa McAuliffe—one of seven crew members killed in the Space Shuttle Challenger accident in 1986—had originally been supposed to teach.
In a NASA video, Arnold revealed that fellow educator McAuliffe's death in an explosion just over a minute after the challenger crew blasted off was one of the things that prompted him to take up teaching.
Since the official claim is that mankind did not learn to extract and manufacture metallic aluminum until around 200 years ago, news of finding aluminum that dates back as early as 250,000 years ago leaves people with a lot of questions.
With this type of discovery, many theories emerge, some feeding challenges of science while others fiercely debate and reject any non-empirical claims.
It must be admitted that it’s intriguing to peek into another possible theory of human life and civilization on our planet than the commonly accepted one.

Reportedly, the discovery of a sensational object that challenged ideas about aluminum took place in Romania in the town of Aiud, near the banks of the Mures River, during the 1970s. At this time the country was under Communist and the news was not exposed to the public in detail.
At the time, builders who worked on a project on the banks of the aforementioned river excavated three objects, of which one was later thought to be made by a human.
Alum crystals have been used in a wide range of industries since antiquity.
In the 1970s examination, two massive bones of an extinct mammal, which vanished from the face of the Earth 10,000 to 80,000 years ago, were reportedly discovered next to a piece of lightweight metal.
These discoveries were analyzed by Swiss scientists in Lausanne, who concluded that the metal object contained around 90 percent aluminum and was around 250,000 years old.

The primary claim was quickly dropped as the scientists revised the calculation and said that this metal piece might be anywhere from 400 to 80,000 years old, a possibility that still created problems because aluminum was first produced by humans 200 years ago.
The object when found was noted as 7.8 inches long, 4.9 inches wide, and 2.8 inches thick. The experts who investigated its structure were perplexed by the concavities in the metal, which led them to believe that the object was formerly a part of an unknown mechanical system. The scientists searched for clues about the object’s etymology, use, or significance.
The aluminum puzzle led to speculations that the piece might have been, in fact, part of an unidentified flying object and proof that aliens once visited the Earth. This supposition was supported by those who assert that we Earthlings are not the only advanced life forms in the universe.

George Cohal, the director of the Ufologists Association of Romania, stated: “The substances of which the object is compromised are combined of an obviously unavailable technology on Earth.” On the other hand, according to the Daily Record, Romanian historian Mihai Wittenberger opposed any UFO speculation, claiming that the metal piece was actually part of a WWII aircraft.
Today, the ancient aluminum piece is displayed in the History Museum of Cluj-Napoca, the main city of the Romanian region of Transylvania, with the notation “origin still unknown.”

The history of the artifact has been the subject of a heated viral debate.
While conspiracy supporters believe the story of an extraterrestrial life bringing it to our planet, others doubt the claims over the discovery and suggest that the scientists should consider revising human capacity to produce aluminium alloys before the official date of the invention.
Some people even discuss possible evidence of advanced human civilizations that might have lived on Earth long before the generally known beginning of civilization.
According to several historians, the following passage, citation unknown, may refer to the creation of an early aluminum artifact:
“Once a certain Roman jeweler was allowed to show the Emperor Tiberius a chalice made of a new metal. The chalice was remarkable for its unusually lightweight, and it shone just as brightly as silver. The goldsmith told the emperor that he made this metal from ordinary clay. He also assured the ruler that the means of obtaining this metal from clay was known only to him and the gods. The emperor was intrigued by the craftsman’s words, and the financial side of the matter did not concern him much. But soon he was struck by the thought that if people master the production of this bright metal from ordinary clay, all the stores of gold and silver in his treasure trove would instantly become worthless. Therefore, instead of the expected reward, the craftsman lost his head.”
L’affaire “Roswell” du Royaume-Uni : Un OVNI repéré dans la forêt de Rendlesham confirme bien la réalité du phénomène
L’affaire “Roswell” du Royaume-Uni : Un OVNI repéré dans la forêt de Rendlesham confirme bien la réalité du phénomène
Les chasseurs d’OVNI sont retournés dans le plus grand foyer extraterrestre du Royaume-Uni et ont découvert que les extraterrestres ciblent encore le site, selon des chercheurs dans le paranormal.
Le 26 décembre 1980, une patrouille autour de la RAF Woodbridge a signalé avoir vu des lumières qui semblaient se poser près de la forêt Rendlesham.
Ils se sont précipités sur le site, pensant qu’il s’agissait peut-être d’un avion humain écrasé, mais ils ont prétendu avoir trouvé un objet métallique rond et brillant avec une lumière colorée qui faisait peur aux animaux dans une ferme voisine.
Aujourd’hui, les enquêteurs paranormaux sont retournés sur les lieux du crime et ont repéré des activités plus étranges dans un endroit surnommé le Roswell du Royaume-Uni.
Au cours des 8 et 9 octobre, un groupe connu sous le nom de Ghostech Paranormal Investigationsa passé du temps dans la forêt de Rendlesham à la recherche d’activités extraterrestres.
À leur grande surprise, ils ont repéré ce qu’ils croyaient être des ovnis et ont même obtenu des images.
Jeff Young, enquêteur principal de Ghostech Paranormal Investigations, a déclaré à express.co.uk que les talkies-walkies ne fonctionnaient plus et que “pas un seul oiseau, écureuil, hibou, pas un seul animal sauvage” n’avait été vu pendant leur enquête, alors que les lumières d’un OVNI étaient visibles de loin.
M. Young a dit : “Le premier soir, nous avons réussi non seulement à voir les lumières par nous-mêmes, mais nous les avons aussi filmées.”
“Nous étions les seules personnes dans la forêt et nous avons dû marcher 5 kilomètres à travers la forêt pour atteindre l’endroit, il n’y a donc pas de routes ou toute autre explication pour ce que nous avions vu.”
“Sachant où nous avions vu les ovnis se déplacer à l’intérieur de l’arbre, la deuxième nuit, nous avons placé nos caméras face à ces zones, mais cette fois-ci j’ai marché un kilomètre vers le côté opposé pour pouvoir observer toute la zone ainsi que mon équipe se trouvant sur le site d’atterrissage afin que nous puissions mieux voir ces objets.”
“Cette fois, nous avons tous vu les ovnis se déplacer à travers l’arbre et nous les avons à nouveau capturés sur pellicule, mais cette fois-ci beaucoup plus clairement qu’auparavant.”
À ce stade, M. Young dit que des hélicoptères Apache planaient au-dessus des enquêteurs, qui semblaient suivre les lumières vives de la forêt.
Il a poursuivi : “Alors que nous observions les ovnis, un hélicoptère Apache Longbow est apparu au-dessus de moi, et il s’est ensuite dirigé vers l’endroit où le reste de mon équipe se trouvait sur le site d’atterrissage, l’hélicoptère nous a encerclés plusieurs fois, puis un autre l’a rejoint et un troisième a suivi.”

“On s’est alors rendu compte qu’ils suivaient aussi ces OVNIs ainsi que nous avec nos caméras.”
L’équipe a alors décidé de quitter la forêt car elle craignait d’être persécutée et de voir leurs preuves confisquées.
Après l’incident initial de la forêt de Rendlesham en 1980, les recrues de l’armée sont retournées sur les lieux le lendemain matin et ont trouvé un certain nombre de traces triangulaires sur le sol.
Un témoin de l’événement, l’officier à la retraite de l’armée de l’air américaine Steve Longero, a déclaré en Décembre 2016 : “Je pense que ce n’était pas quelque chose de ce monde.”
Il a dit de l’objet trouvé dans les bois : “D’après ce dont je me souviens, c’était comme une lueur rougeâtre, verdâtre, elle brillait vraiment comme une lumière rougeâtre.”
“Elle brillait vraiment, comme si quelque chose était vraiment chaud et qu’elle brillait.”
Il a également rappelé comment l’objet a disparu. Il a ajouté : “Au fur et à mesure que les gens se sont approchés de cette chose, elle s’approchait un peu plus de nous, puis elle s’est mise à aller de l’avant, puis vers l’arrière et tout à coup elle a disparu, comme dans Star Trek, c’était comme une vitesse de distorsion et nous étions tous là en mode ‘quoi?'”.
Interstellar Visitor Found to Be Unlike a Comet or an Asteroid
Interstellar Visitor Found to Be Unlike a Comet or an Asteroid
The mystery of ’Oumuamua, the first interstellar object ever observed, continues to deepen. A new analysis argues that if it were a comet, it would have broken apart as it passed near the sun.
The interstellar object ’Oumuamua raced through the solar system a year ago. Astronomers continue to argue about what it is made of.
Like a hit-and-run driver who races from the scene of a crash, the interstellar guest known as ’Oumuamua has bolted out of the solar system, leaving confusion in its wake. Early measurements seemed to indicate that it was an asteroid — a dry rock much like those found orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. Then by this past summer, astronomers largely came around to the conclusion that it was instead a comet — an icy body knocked out of the distant reaches of a far-off planetary system.
Now a new analysis has found inconsistencies in this conclusion, suggesting that ’Oumuamua may not be a comet after all. Whether it’s actually a comet or an asteroid, one thing is clear: ’Oumuamua is not quite like anything seen before.
The object was first spotted a year ago by scientists with the Pan-STARRS telescope in Hawaii. ’Oumuamua (a Hawaiian word meaning “scout”) appeared to be a rocky, elongated asteroid at first, a stubby cosmic cigar.
Other astronomers quickly joined in the hunt, measuring everything they could. (One team even trained radio telescopes on it to check whether it might be transmitting extraterrestrial broadcasts. It was not.) By last December, a team of astronomers published ’Oumuamua’s electromagnetic spectra, which can be used to probe what an object is made of. The researchers found that ices with organic material similar to those seen in comets in our solar system lurked just below ’Oumuamua’s surface; that ice could have survived a long interstellar journey.
They also looked at ’Oumuamua’s rotation. Many asteroids tend to spin around their long axis like an expertly thrown football. ’Oumuamua, by contrast, tumbled like an errant pass by Charlie Brown.

A few months later, another collaboration found that ’Oumuamua wasn’t just being pulled by the sun’s gravity. Instead, it was being slightly accelerated by an unseen force, which they argued could only be attributed to comet “outgassing” acting like a thruster. With this additional information, the case appeared to be closed. “Interstellar asteroid is really a comet,” read the headline of a press release put out by the European Space Agency.
The explanation seemed to fit with what we know about our own solar system. In the distant reaches beyond Neptune, countless comets orbit our sun. Anytime one of these comets gets too close to a planet, it could be ejected out into the galaxy. In contrast, there are far fewer asteroids in the asteroid belt, and they orbit closer to the sun, where they’re harder to knock into interstellar space. “There are more comets, and it’s easier to fling them away from a planetary system,” said Ann-Marie Madigan, an astrophysicist at the University of Colorado, Boulder. “For the first interstellar traveler that we see in our solar system, for that to be an asteroid, would be shocking.”
Yet comets have tails. And ’Oumuamua, if it was indeed made out of icy rock and propelled by jets of gas as it passed by the sun, should have displayed a tail that would settle the question of its origin. Yet no tail was ever found.
Now in a new study that is currently under peer review, Roman Rafikov, an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge, argues that the same forces that appeared to have accelerated ’Oumuamua — the same forces that should have also produced a tail — would have also affected its spin. In particular, the acceleration would have torqued ’Oumuamua to such a degree that it would have spun apart, breaking up into smaller pieces. If ’Oumuamua were a comet, he argues, it would not have survived.
“There’s very strong and unequivocal evidence on both sides,” said Rafikov. “If it’s an asteroid, then it’s really unusual, with exotic scenarios for its formation.” He proposed such a scenario earlier this year, whereby an ordinary star dies, forming a white dwarf, and in the process rips apart a planet and launches the shards clear across the galaxy. ’Oumuamua is one of those shards. “Basically, it’s a messenger from a dead star,” he said.
In part to help resolve the impasse, researchers have tried to identify the star system where ’Oumuamua originated by combing through the newly released data troves of the Gaia space telescope. Perhaps it came from a binary star system, or a system with a giant planet, either of which could have launched the object into interstellar space.
’Oumuamua’s path through the solar system. Distances of the closest passage between ’Oumuamua and other objects are measured in astronomical units (AU); 1 AU is the distance between Earth and the sun.
But of all the possible candidate star systems, none provided a match. ’Oumuamua’s trajectory was at least two light-years away from all the candidates anyway — too far for them to be its source. And if ’Oumuamua got launched hundreds of millions of years ago, all the local stars will have shifted quite a bit since then. “It’s unlikely you’d ever be able to track it back to a single individual parent system, which is a shame, but it’s just the way things are,” said Alan Jackson, an astronomer at the University of Toronto.
Ultimately the transient nature of the observations has frustrated astronomers’ ability to solve the mystery of our first interstellar guest. “We had only a few weeks, with almost no planning, to make the observations,” said Matthew Knight, an astronomer at the University of Maryland. “Everybody’s trying to wring out every last bit of information they can from what data we were able to collect as a community.” Had ’Oumuamua been spotted earlier, or had Hurricane Maria not taken Puerto Rico’s Arecibo Observatory out of action, astronomers would have more to go on.
One takeaway for a number of astronomers is that space rocks don’t necessarily fit into one of two wholly separate categories. “There’s much more of a gradation between what’s a comet and what’s an asteroid,” said Michele Bannister, an astronomer at Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland. “I feel like we’re fighting over an unnecessary binary here.”
And although ’Oumuamua was the first visitor from outside the solar system, astronomers will soon have more to puzzle over. Estimates are that the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, scheduled for “first light” in 2021 in Chile, could find as many as one such object every year for a decade.
“What I hope ’Oumuamua brings home is that planetary systems grow and evolve. They create trillions of little planetesimals throughout the galaxy, and some of those will come and visit us every once and a while,” Bannister said. “Our planetesimals are no doubt visiting other stars.”
Black Knight Satellite (Dark Knight) - de UFO die over ons waakt ( of ons in de gaten houdt?)
Black Knight Satellite (Dark Knight) - de UFO die over ons waakt ( of ons in de gaten houdt?)
De geschiedenis van de Black Knight Satellite, een object dat rond onze planeet cirkelt in een polaire baan, zou niet zo controversieel mogen zijn. De polaire baan is een baan die in de tegenovergestelde richting ligt van degene die onze planeet op natuurlijke wijze roteert. Deze polaire baan wordt gebruikt voor toezicht en noch de Verenigde Staten noch Rusland hadden de technologische mogelijkheid om satellieten in die baan en op die hoogte te brengen toen de Black Knight Satellite (vermoedelijk) in 1954 voor het eerst werd ontdekt.
Momenteel op de NASA-site:
Op 7 september 1958 werd de eerste Black Knight Missile uit het Verenigd Koninkrijk gelanceerd vanuit het AustralischeWoomera en bereikte het een hoogte van meer dan 300 mijl; de tweede Black Knight Satellite wordt beschreven als een Britse satelliet die in 1959 op 12 maart ook in Australië werd gelanceerd en 350 voet hoogte heeft bereikt en een gewicht van 1000 pond had.
Op 28 februari 1959 werd de 1450-pond ARPA Discoverer I-satelliet met succes in een polaire baan gebracht door de USAF Thor-Agena A Booster van de Pacific Missile Range; maar stabilisatieproblemen maakte het moeilijk om de overname te volgen.
Op 20 februari 1962 maakte de Amerikaanse astronaut, John Glenn,met succes een baan rond de aarde in de missie van Friendship 7 en werd zo de eerste Amerikaan in de ruimte. Hij was de vijfde persoon in de ruimte na de voorgaande 4 astronauten uit Rusland., die hem vooraf gingen.
Geen enkele van de rapporten op de NASA-website geeft enige geloofwaardigheid dat deze Black Knight-satelliet verbonden kan worden met één van hun verkenningsactiviteiten in de ruimte, noch van die van Rusland en noch aan die van de Verenigde Staten uit die periode. De Black Knight Satellite weegt duidelijk veel meer dan 1000 pond en is veel groter. De meeste personenauto's wegen meer dan dat. We zijn er bijna 100% zeker van dat in 1958 geen enkel land de technologische mogelijkheid bezat om meer dan een paar honderd pond te lanceren en in een baan om de aarde te brengen en zeker niet in een polaire baan. De geschiedenis vertelt ons dat.
En dan zwijgen we nog van al die ruimteafval die we actueel terugvinden in een baan rond de aarde (meer dan 20.000 stukken). En toch is deze bijzondere satelliet er in geslaagd om niet te worden beschadigd door botsingen met dit rondzwervend ruimte afval, noch beschadigd door andere natuurlijke verschijnselen in de ruimte, zoals meteoren, zonnevlammen, ed.
Grumman Aircraft Corporation zou naar verluidt op 3 september 1960 met behulp van een trackingcamera een foto hebben gemaakt van de Black Knight in een baan rond de aarde. Ik vind wel heel toevallige gelijkenissen met de Grumman F-14 Tomcat en de afbeeldingen van de Black Knight terug gevonden op het internet. De eerste vlucht van de F-14 Tomcat was in 1970 en hij ging met pensioen in 2006.
Grumman F-14 Tomcat tijdens de vlucht
Astronauten aan boord van Space Shuttle Endeavour namen in 1998 naar verluidt satellietfoto's van de Black Knight en deze foto's circuleren nog steeds op het internet met de uitleg dat het hier gaat om ruimtepuin van een vorige missie. Het was een afgebroken brokstuk dat daar bleef rondzwerven.
In 1954 beweerde de UFO-onderzoeker en gepensioneerde commandant van de luchtvaart Donald Keyhoe, in verschillende kranten, dat het object van de US Air Force zelf was. Hij had twee satellieten ontdekt die rond de maan in de buurt van de aarde cirkelden. Later trok hij zijn verklaringen terug in.
Naar aanleiding van deze verklaringen, analyseerde de auteur, Duncan Lunan, de herhaaldelijke radiosignalen die Nikola Tesla tijdens zijn radio-experimenten in 1899 had gehoord, en ook de lange echo's van onbekende oorsprong in 1928 verzameld door de amateur radio-operator, Jorgen Hals, Oslo uit Noorwegen. Hij beweerde dat de signalen kwamen van een buitenaardse sonde die sinds ongeveer 13.000 jaar geleden in een baan rond onze maan draaide. Deze sonde, zei hij, is voortgekomen van een ster uit het zonnestelsel Epsilon Bootis. Lunan trok later zijn verklaring in en beweerde dat hij rekenfouten had gemaakt toen hij de signalen decodeerde.

Jij zal deze foto's , in1998 op internet geplaatst, zeker ook al gezien hebben. Ik heb er vaak over nagedacht. De eerste keer dat ik die foto's zag, herinnerde deze mij aan de film Spaceballs. Het lijkt op Harry's vacuümschip, maar het mist wat stukken.
Het idee om zo'n duister en sinister object te benaderen in de geïsoleerde grenzen van de onmetelijkheid van de volledig onbekende ruimte beangstigt me een beetje. Indien dit echt al meer dan 13.000 jaar toertjes draait rond onze planeet, wie heeft dat daar geplaatst? Er kan misschien wel het lichaam van een overleden man of zelfs een vrouw binnen in zitten hebben... Desondanks denk ik nog steeds dat het niets meer is dan een afleiding is voor ons. Zo niet, dan zou er een duidelijke, betere en beknopte verklaring voor zijn.
Ik denk dat regeringen zich voorbereid hebben en ingecalculeerd om mensen te verliezen tijdens ruimtemissies en dat sinds het begin van de bemande ruimtevaart in de jaren 1950. Het is altijd een mogelijkheid geweest. Ik denk dat de NASA van "nature" vele onverklaarbare gebeurtenissen veroorzaakt heeft die wij als ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten beschouwen. Zeker omdat alle regeringen nog steeds geheimen verbergen voor hun burgers.
In 2018 kijken we naar de hemel, net zoals Nostradamus en Galileo, anderen vóór hen deden. Niet in de wereld om ons heen.
En blijft het voor ons geen droom, geen ultiem verlangen om eens andere intelligente wezens uit het heelal te ontmoeten?
