Skinwalker Ranch UK Documentary 2018 Werewolves, Bigfoot, Men in Black and UFO (Video)

So what is going on here? Inter-dimensional visitors from the Otherworld? Advanced military projects? Extraterrestrials? Black magic? Spirits of the land? We live in a more unusual world than most of us ever really notice. The type of incidents detailed in this documentary occur the length and breadth of our island and planet and have done arguably for as long as we have existed.

This is a classic piece of citizen investigation. Strange lights in the sky, people disappearing, big cats stalking the landscape, werewolves in the woods, fairy folklore, little humanoid creatures, this is high strangeness galore! The veil between worlds seems to be very thin in this area of East Yorkshire.

Military Abductions: Covert Disclosure of Rectangle Antigravity UFO (Video)

On the morning of October 23, Exopolitics long-time source JP (a pseudonym) was once again instructed to look up into the sky by a nearby covert operative where he saw a rectangle platform shaped UFO.

He used his camera phone to take five photos of the UFO. He then noticed that he had missing time and when he tried to recall what had happened he had memory flashes of being inside the flying rectangle he had just photographed.

It seems the military use antigravity rectangle UFOs to carry out special abduction and mind control operations!

1942: Is This Original Footage of the Battle of Los Angeles UFO Incident? (Video)

The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as The Great Los Angeles Air Raid, is the name given by contemporary sources to the rumored enemy attack and subsequent anti-aircraft artillery barrage which took place from late 24 February to early 25 February 1942 over Los Angeles, California.

The incident occurred less than three months after the United States entered World War II as a result of the Japanese Imperial Navy’s attack on Pearl Harbor, and one day after the bombardment of Ellwood on 23 February 1942.

Initially, the target of the aerial barrage was thought to be an attacking force from Japan, but speaking at a press conference shortly afterward, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox called the incident a “false alarm.” Newspapers of the time published a number of reports and speculations of a cover-up.

NASA's Sun-Kissing Solar Probe Survives 1st Flyby of Our Star

The German-American Helios 2 mission had held both the speed and close-approach records. In April 1976, that probe reached 153,454 mph (246,960 km/h) and got within 26.55 million miles (42.73 million km) of the sun.

The Parker Solar Probe will break both of its new records many times over the next seven years. The spacecraft will make 23 additional solar flybys during this span, getting closer and closer to our star.

The final close approach, in late 2025, will take the Parker Solar Probe to within just 3.83 million miles (6.16 million km) of the sun's surface. During that dramatic flyby, the sun's gravity will accelerate the spacecraft to around 430,000 mph (690,000 km/h), NASA officials have said.

The $1.5 billion Parker Solar Probe mission launched on Aug. 12, tasked with helping scientists better understand the sun's structure, composition and activity. The observations the spacecraft makes during its flybys should help solve two longstanding solar puzzles, mission team members have said — why the sun's outer atmosphere, or corona, is so much hotter than the surface, and how the flow of charged particles known as the solar wind gets accelerated to such high speeds.

UFOs spotted off Irish coast under investigation

Image copyrightGETTY IMAGESImage caption

The pilots spotted fast flying objects and bright lights in the sky

The Irish Aviation Authority is investigating reports of bright lights and UFOs off the south-west coast of Ireland.

It began at 06:47 local time on Friday 9 November when a British Airways pilot contacted Shannon air traffic control.

She wanted to know if there were military exercises in the area because there was something "moving so fast".

The air traffic controller said there were no such exercises.

The pilot, flying from the Canadian city of Montreal to Heathrow, said there was a "very bright light" and the object had come up along the left side of the aircraft before it "rapidly veered to the north".

She was wondering what it could be but said it did not seem to be heading for a collision.

Another pilot from a Virgin plane joined in and suggested it might be a meteor or another object re-entering the earth's atmosphere.

He said there were "multiple objects following the same sort of trajectory" and that they were very bright.

The pilot said he saw "two bright lights" over to the right which climbed away at speed.

One pilot said the speed was "astronomical, it was like Mach 2" - which is twice the speed of sound.

What could it have been?

Apostolos Christou, an astronomer from the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium, said what the pilots saw was probably a piece of dust entering the earth's atmosphere at very high speed.

"It was most likely what are commonly called shooting stars," he said.

"It appears the matter was extremely bright so it must have been quite a large piece of material.

"I cannot say from the pilots' description, but it could have been the size of a walnut or an apple."

The astronomer said November tended to be a very busy month for such activity.

"It also appears there were bits coming off the object and flying past the aeroplane, that is also what you would expect if it was a particularly large rock from space hitting the atmosphere, it would tend to fragment."

"Following reports from a small number of aircraft on Friday 9 November of unusual air activity the IAA has filed a report," the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) said.

"This report will be investigated under the normal confidential occurrence investigation process."

A spokesperson for Shannon Airport said it would not be appropriate for the airport to comment while the IAA investigation is ongoing.

Climate change caused the demise of flourishing Ancient civilization

BY MIHAI ANDREI 

Some 4,000 years ago, the Harappa culture thrived in the Indus River Valley of what is now modern Pakistan and northern India. They had big, prosperous cities, invented sewage centuries before the Romans, and established far-reaching trade routes to Mesopotamia. But in less than two centuries, their culture faded and their cities fell — and the main culprit may have been climate change.

The Indus Valley civilization was a primarily urban culture sustained by surplus agricultural production and commerce. They preferred urban settlements and built at least two major cities: Harappa and Mohenjo Daro, which were remarkably advanced for their time.

But things started to change around 2500 BCE. Shifting temperatures and weather patterns all over the Indus Valley caused a gradual dry-up of the summer monsoons, which made agriculture more and more difficult.

Liviu Giosan, a geologist at WHOI and lead author of the new paper, says this is what ultimately brought their demise and forced them to slowly retreat to smaller villages in the Himalayan foothills.

“Although fickle summer monsoons made agriculture difficult along the Indus, up in the foothills, moisture and rain would come more regularly,” Giosan says. “As winter storms from the Mediterranean hit the Himalayas, they created rain on the Pakistan side, and fed little streams there. Compared to the floods from monsoons that the Harappans were used to seeing in the Indus, it would have been relatively little water, but at least it would have been reliable.”

The end of an era

This isn’t a new theory, but evidence for these shifting patterns has been difficult to find in soil samples. So instead, Giosan and colleagues took to the ocean. They looked at microscopic fossils called foraminifera. Foraminifera are primitive “living fossils,” living from the Cambrian (542 million years ago) on to the present. They have a fossil commonly made of calcium carbonate, which means they often fossilize, especially in the environment of the Indus area. However, instead of looking for fossils, researchers looked one step deeper: they looked for DNA fragments.

“The seafloor near the mouth of the Indus is a very low-oxygen environment, so whatever grows and dies in the water is very well preserved in the sediment,” says Giosan. “You can basically get fragments of DNA of nearly anything that’s lived there.”

“The value of this approach is that it gives you a picture of the past biodiversity that you’d miss by relying on skeletal remains or a fossil record. And because we can sequence billions of DNA molecules in parallel, it gives a very high-resolution picture of how the ecosystem changed over time,” adds William Orsi, paleontologist and geobiologist at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, who collaborated with Giosan on the work.

This is an interesting type of indirect evidence: during winter monsoons, strong winds bring nutrients from the deeper parts of the ocean towards the surface, feeding a surge in plant and animal life — evidence of this surge is recorded in DNA sequences in sedimentary layers of the ocean floor. The DNA evidence revealed that winter monsoons seemed to become stronger, and summer monsoons weaker towards the later years of the Harappan civilization, corresponding with the move from cities to villages. It’s not clear exactly when and how quickly this process took place, but it was the end of an era.

“We don’t know whether Harappan caravans moved toward the foothills in a matter of months or this massive migration took place over centuries. What we do know is that when it concluded, their urban way of life ended,” Giosan says.

A lesson for today

This event signifies a very important warning for today. Unlike us, the Harappans didn’t bring this climate change on themselves — the source of this climate change actually came from very far away. A mini ice age settled in, releasing colder air from the Arctic into the Atlantic and subsequently, into northern Europe. In turn, this pushed the cold (but relatively warmer air) of northern Europe around, creating storms into the Mediterranean, which led to a surge in winter monsoons over the Indus valley — it was a remarkable series of domino pieces falling into place and sparking doom for the Harappan cities.

A similar process is happening today, and climate change is setting in motion a complex mechanism that will affect all areas of the globe.

“It’s remarkable, and there’s a powerful lesson for today,” he notes. “If you look at Syria and Africa, the migration out of those areas has some roots in climate change. This is just the beginning–sea level rise due to climate change can lead to huge migrations from low lying regions like Bangladesh, or from hurricane-prone regions in the southern U.S. Back then, the Harappans could cope with change by moving, but today, you’ll run into all sorts of borders. Political and social convulsions can then follow.”

Deze mensen horen altijd en overal een bromtoon, maar niemand die weet waar het geluid vandaan komt - HLN.be

Bron: Trouw

Dirk van der Plas (57) noemt het niets minder dan een constante marteling. Hij formuleert bedachtzaam en zachtjes. Dan staat de man met donkergrijs kuifje op van de rode bank in zijn kleine woonkamer en knijpt zijn ogen halfdicht. “Ik hoor het nu heel hard.”

Wat precies? De brom. Voor veruit de meeste mensen klinkt het doodstil hier in het Groningse Saaksum, een pittoresk dorpje met zo’n honderd inwoners en omgeven door ­weiland. Nou ja, vogels hoor je, en op deze  ­zonnige dag ook het zachte geritsel van de ­bladeren van zijn walnootboom. Maar Van der Plas heeft de pech daarbovenop een snoeihard laagfrequent geluid te horen.

Lage tonen dus, iets wat zij die het horen als een constante bromtoon omschrijven. “Alsof hier voor de deur een vrachtwagen stationair staat te draaien. En niet minder zacht ook.” Veel van hen voelen de trillingen ook, alsof ze voor een grote luidspreker in een concertzaal staan. “En ik ervaar ook een soort elektrische prikkel tegen mijn oren, alsof iemand er een batterij tegenaan houdt.”

Inmiddels hoort en voelt bijna 10 procent van de mensen het gebrom soms, blijkt uit een rapport dat het Nederlandse RIVM onlangs uitbracht. Dat is veel. Van die mensen ondervindt ongeveer 2 procent ‘ernstige hinder’. En hun aantal groeit, zo toont een inventarisatie van alle meldingen die gemeentes binnenkregen de laatste jaren. Stichting Laagfrequent Geluid, waar Van der Plas voorzitter van is, kreeg vorig jaar 633 meldingen binnen – een record van zijn jonge stichting. Vier op de vijf melders slaapt er slecht door. Zij zijn verspreid over het hele land, al is de problematiek in sommige steden en regio’s groter dan elders.

Duister

Experts tasten nog bijna volledig in het duister over de oorzaken. Soms is er een duidelijke bron, maar vaak registreren zelfs de scherpst afgestelde microfoons helemaal niets. In die gevallen lijken de problemen niet te verklaren met een beter gehoor van mensen als Van der Plas. Daar moet iets anders aan de hand zijn. Ondertussen merken de meeste buren of visite er niets van. Eén buurman hoort het soms, vooral in de winter. Af en toe horen ze de brom tegelijkertijd aanzwellen, als ze samen koffiedrinken.

Het is fijn als er een duidelijke bron is. “We zagen veel casussen langskomen die gewoon te verhelpen waren”, zegt RIVM-onderzoekster Irene van Kamp. “Denk aan een woonschip dat zijn eigen elektriciteit opwekt met een zwaar dreunende dieselmotor. Die kun je dan beter isoleren, en dat kan veel klachten van omwonenden ineens doen verdwijnen.” In andere gevallen is het een warmtepomp waarmee de buren hun stroom opwekken in de tuin, of een cv-ketel die niet goed hangt. “Bij het Zuid-­Hollandse Nesselrode bleek wegverkeer de boosdoener.”

Lange geluidsgolven

De pech is dat lage tonen van windmolens, ­fabrieken of snelwegen zich door bijna niets ­laten stoppen. De lange geluidsgolven van lage tonen glijden moeiteloos door geluidswal en muurisolatie, en ook zogeheten ‘stil asfalt’ helpt alleen tegen ‘gewoon’, voor iedereen hoorbaar geluid. Dat maakt dat je soms heel ver moet fietsen om op de bron te stuiten. “En het maakt dat veroorzakers vaak niet weten dat zij mensen zo ver weg verstoren met ­gebrom”, zegt Van Kamp.

Maar vaak lijkt er überhaupt geen bron in de omgeving te zijn en dan begint de wanhoop pas echt. Van der Plas krijgt daar dagelijks mailtjes over. “Soms beginnen die met het woord ‘HELP’. Anderen moeten spontaan ­huilen, zodra ze voor het eerst op de site van mijn stichting kijken. Zij zien dat ze niet de enige zijn die het gebrom hoort. Ze beseffen: ‘Ik bén niet gek’.”

Van der Plas en zijn lotgenoten hebben drie problemen. Ten eerste natuurlijk het constante gebeuk in hun oren en lichaam. Maar ook dat de medische wetenschap hun tot op heden geen enkel zicht op oplossingen of uitleg kan bieden. En tot slot het onbegrip van hen die niets horen – de ruime meerderheid van de wereldbevolking.

Want dit probleem beperkt zich niet tot Nederland. In Canada woont biofysicus Glen MacPherson, werkzaam aan de universiteit van British Columbia. Hij heeft zelf last en richtte er een meldpunt voor op: thehum.info (the hum is Engels voor ‘de brom’). Iedereen kan op een wereldkaart precies aangeven waar hij ‘de stationaire vrachtwagen’ hoort. Die ­wereldkaart is inmiddels goed roodgekleurd van iedereen die dat deed. ‘We proberen ­daarmee zo goed mogelijk uit te zoeken wat de geplaagde regio’s gemeen hebben’, mailt MacPherson. ‘Dat antwoord is er nog niet.’

Omdat het dus moeilijk is de bron te ­vinden, en er vaak überhaupt geen geluid ­gemeten wordt, wijst Van der Plas in Saaksum op een andere mogelijke schuldige: straling. “Bijvoorbeeld van telefoonmasten of elektriciteitskabels.” Volgens hem zouden elektro-magnetische velden het binnenoor zo kunnen stimuleren dat iemand geluiden ervaart.

“Ook activeren die velden het brein wellicht op andere plekken, waardoor het gevoel van trilling ontstaat.” Hij wil dat er veel meer onderzoek komt naar straling als veroorzaker van de bromtoon. “Ik weet niet hoe het precies zou moeten werken – ik ben geen wetenschapper. Ik zoek gewoon naar mogelijke oorzaken.” Het zou wel verklaren waarom hij en anderen er in het hele land last van hebben, zegt hij.

Maar volgens MacPherson lijkt elektromagnetische straling geen gemene deler, zegt hij op basis van eigen experimenten. Daarvoor ging hij in een zelfgebouwde ruimte staan die alle straling buitenhield, waarop de brom in zijn oren onverminderd doorzong. Ook de ­Nijmeegse biofysicus Bernhard Englitz heeft vraagtekens bij het stralingidee. “Als straling zo hard staat dat het zenuwen activeert, ­verwacht je dat probleem ook in andere ­organen zoals het oog. Maar daar lijken deze mensen geen last van te hebben.”

Tinnitus

MacPherson houdt rekening met een paar ­mogelijke oorzaken. Misschien zorgt ­ondergrondse activiteit – lang doorzeurende aardbevingen, bijvoorbeeld – voor de gehoorde trillingen. Maar waarschijnlijker lijkt hem iets vergelijkbaars met tinnitus, de hoge piep die beter bekendstaat als oorsuizen. Dat is ‘intern geluid’ dat de hersenen dénken te horen. In de oren van tinnituspatiënten zijn de trilhaartjes beschadigd. Daardoor geven die minder ­signalen door aan de hersenen. Die gaan die leegte dan maar zelf invullen, waardoor het lijkt of er een constante piep aanwezig is.

Ook onderzoeker Englitz oppert dat een deel van de groep een variant van tinnitus zou kunnen hebben. “Door lang in hard en laag ­geluid te staan, beschadigt vooral het gedeelte van het oor dat dat lage geluid registreert. Dan kan het brein dat hiaat aan signalen daaruit zelf gaan inkleuren, waarop de persoon juist die lage toon constant hoort.” Een soort ‘brom-tinnitus’.

MacPherson heeft tegelijkertijd sterke twijfels en kanttekeningen bij zijn meest waarschijnlijke hypothese. De door hard geluid ­veroorzaakte tinnitus is van alle tijden, maar de bromtoon lijkt een recent fenomeen. En ­patiënten die lijden aan zowel tinnitus als de brom stellen dat deze twee totaal verschillend bij ze binnenkomen. Ook Van der Plas zegt vanachter zijn koffie dat zijn brom echt van buiten komt, terwijl hij tijdelijke oorsuis na een hard optreden van binnenuit ervaart.

Hij wil zelfs niets weten van de suggestie dat het iets als tinnitus kan zijn. “Dat leidt de aandacht af van onderzoek naar de echte oorzaken. En ik weet zeker dat het iets anders moet zijn. De bestuursleden van mijn stichting en ik horen de brom soms op dezelfde dagen harder worden. Maar we zitten verspreid over Nederland – Almere, Haarlem, Deventer en ik in Saaksum. Dan kán het dus niet in ons eigen hoofd zitten.” Voor dat laatste heeft ook biofysicus Englitz geen verklaring.

Bij Van der Plas begonnen de problemen op 22 november 2009. “Specifiek, ja. Bijna ­iedereen die er last van heeft, herinnert zich de precieze dag nog dat het begon. Zo intens is het.” Dan begint het zoeken. “Hoofdschakelaar in huis uitdoen, rondjes door de buurt ­fietsen, met de buren praten of zij ook last hebben.”

Al is dat praten voor veel mensen lastig, vervolgt hij. “Ze schamen zich. Zij horen iets waar de rest stilte ervaart. Ook in mijn dorp zullen sommigen me wel voor gekke gerritje hebben uitgemaakt.” Dat is een van de redenen dat zo weinig mensen ervan weten, stelt hij. “Gelukkig komt daar langzaam verandering in. Het helpt dat het RIVM onze problemen erkent.”

Cognitieve gedragstherapie

Niet elke instantie gaat er zo mee om. Gemeentelijke gezondheidsdiensten (ggd’s) handelen meldingen van een bromtoon vaak bot af, vindt Van der Plas. “Ze zeggen: ‘Het uitvoeren van een meting heeft geen zin, er wordt toch geen bron gevonden’. En bieden daarna cognitieve gedragstherapie aan om met de hinder te leren omgaan.” Dat steekt hem enorm. “Ze spreken je vaak belerend toe.”

Het helpt daarbij niet dat laagfrequent ­geluid niet verankerd is in milieuwetgeving. Voor hoger geluid bestaan duidelijke normen, gemeenten kunnen daarop handhaven. Voor het toegestane geluidsniveau van bromtonen bestaat geen bovengrens. Het is daarvoor nog te moeilijk te bepalen bij welke geluidssterkte die schadelijk zijn voor het lichaam.

Van der Plas heeft weinig hoop dat zijn klachten binnenkort verholpen kunnen worden. Hij zit er nu tien jaar chronisch vermoeid door in de ziektewet. Tussen zeven en acht uur gaat hij naar bed, om door de onvaste slaap net zo vermoeid weer wakker te worden. “Bij thuiskomst gisteren was de brom loeihard”, mailt hij een dag na het interview. “Dat is ­amper te overleven. Het feit dat geen enkele instantie dit oppakt, dat je er dus nergens mee heen kan, is zeer pijnlijk.”

When it comes to the matter of UFOs, there’s one question that I get asked more than any other. Namely, “Have you ever seen a UFO?” Well, in the terms that most people think of UFOs, my answer to that question can only be a firm “No.” By that, I mean I have never seen a nuts and bolts-type object flying in the sky that baffled me. But, I did have one experience that some might suggest (and, indeed, have suggested) should cause me to change my stance. The story goes back more than a decade. Along with the late Rob Riggs (the author of several books, including In the Big Thicket), and several other friends and colleagues, on June 11, 2005 I headed out to Texas’ Big Thicket. It’s a large area of forestland that has a couple of weird legends attached to it: (a) the many and varied Bigfoot reports that have surfaced from the area; and (b) the Big Thicket’s resident “Ghost Lights,” as they have become known.

If, late at night, you have hung out in the Big Thicket’s Bragg Road (or Ghost Road and Ghost Light Road, as it’s known locally), you’ll know it’s very easy to mistake car headlights for something much stranger. But, that doesn’t take away the fact that there are far more than a few cases on record which stand the test of time. My very own late-night encounter in the area in 2005 was one of them. Here’s how I described the brief affair in my 2007 book, Memoirs of a Monster Hunter:

“We were on our way back to the vehicles to grab a bite to eat and some drinks when, as we entered a clearing in the trees, a basketball-sized bright light floated over us at a height of about 35 feet. It was moving from right to left, and sailed slowly, yet, purposefully on its journey. The ghost light was present for barely 10 seconds, but I managed to quickly capture the strange visitor on camera before it blinked out, never to return. Indeed, it all happened so fast that I almost convinced myself it had merely been a dream or the result of wishful thinking. But it was neither.  The photograph had clearly recorded the ghost light. And more importantly, several members of the group could be seen in the picture, too, as could the road and the surrounding trees. In other words, I had secured an almost perfectly framed image of one of the Big Thicket’s mysterious ghost lights.”

And that was about it, a brief view of…well…something. So, to return to the theme of this article (did I see a UFO?), it all very much depends on how you, me and anyone and everyone interested in the subject interprets the term “UFO.” What I saw in the Big Thicket in the summer of 2005 was certainly unidentified. I can’t say it was flying, though. It was more like it was slowly, gently floating. And I saw no evidence at all that it was an “object.” At least, not in the way the word is used by ufologists. Rather, it just appeared to be a light. I suppose, something along the lines of the equally-controversial matter of ball-lightning.

In view of all the above, some might say that I really did see a UFO. Others might even go so far as to claim I saw an alien spacecraft (but, if it was, it would have been a hell of a small one!). Me? All I can say for sure is that I saw a fairly significantly-sized ball of light – and for a very short time – that was briefly there and which was then suddenly gone. At a veryconsiderable stretch, I guess I could claim to have seen a UFO. But, I would be deceiving myself. All I can say for sure is that I saw an odd light.

Solar storms have taken root as a modern boogeyman. Solar flares, or coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are fast approaching the top spot in many people’s minds as the probable cause for the collapse of society, the end-of-days, and the justification for buying that stupid shovel with the sharpened edge and the paracord wrapped around the handle (no, not the one they sell at Walmart, the nice one).  Maybe it’s due to all the technology we’re completely and hopelessly addicted to being the prime victims should a solar flare backhand us out of nowhere.

We’ve spent the last century stockpiling electronics and hurling satellites into orbit and putting increasingly more faith in those satellites and not a lot of time into insulating that network from the inevitable belch of solar radiation coming our way sometime soon. It would be pretty inconvenient, perhaps even society shattering, if that were all to get fried even for a day. But you know what else we’ve been stockpiling for a century? Bombs! We have so many bombs. If you tried to count how many bombs we have, you’d give up. Because it’s a lot.  And if you needed just one more push to get on the solar storm fear-hype-train, here it is. According to U.S. Navy documents from the Vietnam war, a solar storm in August of 1972 detonated 4,000 of the United States’ undersea mines. That’s right, solar storms are wielding heavy ordinance now.

In a recent paper published in the journal Space Weather, researchers dug up Navy records from the Vietnam War to asses the full extent of the solar storm’s impact. Here is a passage from the paper detailing the effect of the solar storm on Naval operations

The sudden detonation of a large number of U.S. Navy magnetic‐influence sea mines (designated as Destructors, DSTs) dropped into the coastal waters of North Vietnam only 3 months earlier…. Tucker…wrote that “… on 4 August (1972) TF‐77 aircraft reported some two dozen explosions in a minefield near Hon La over a thirty‐second time span…Ultimately the Navy concluded that the explosions had been caused by the magnetic perturbations of solar storms, the most intense in more than two decades

Further research suggested that the number was actually much higher:

Aerial inspections revealed additional evidence of detonations elsewhere along the coast. The wartime memoirs of a U.S. Navy Mineman‐Sailor, Chief Petty Officer Michael Gonzales, state that “During the first few weeks of August, a series of extremely strong solar flares caused a fluctuation of the magnetic fields, in and around, South East Asia. The resulting chain of events caused the premature detonation of over 4,000 magnetically sensitive DSTs (Destructor mines) … ”

The Destructor mine. These mines were launched into the ocean by aircraft, hence their aerodynamic features.

So, how did this even happen and what was the mechanism for the detonation? These undersea mines were equipped with magnetic sensors to trigger their detonation. When a solar flare hits Earth, it triggers a geomagnetic storm. the resulting fluctuations in the Earth’s magnetic field were sufficient enough to trigger the detonators.

And that’s not all. The August 1972 solar storm also damaged solar panels on satellites in space, caused a “mission-ending” power failure on one defense satellite, and caused Air Force sensors to register that a nuclear bomb had been detonated somewhere on Earth. I’m starting to connect nuclear false alarms and the old children’s story “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and I’m beginning to feel very anxious for some reason.

Due to this event, the Navy replaced the magnetic detonation systems on their undersea mines, and great strides have been made since then, in general, to insulate our technology against solar storms. But is it enough? We won’t know till we know, I guess. As a last note—because it wouldn’t be doom porn without bringing nukes up twice—this solar storm happened in 1972 and then the Navy stopped using those magnetic sensors, but we built a lot of nuclear warheads before 1972. I’m sure work has been done to stop a solar storm from triggering our nukes’ detonators (I have to be sure because otherwise I’ll never sleep again), but I think we, as a global society, should agree to begin every single news broadcast, from now on, with a reassurance that the sun can’t nuke us.

Three pilots report Many UFOs Over Ireland, coast of Kerry Nov 2018, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: November 12, 2018
Location of sighting: Ireland

I am searching for some photos of these UFOs. They reported multiple UFOs, glowing flying twice the speed of sound one after another and that just incredible. We have to believe aircraft pilots...we put our families lives at risk when flying with them...trusting them to do their job well. They are trained pilots who have trained for everything...except this. Listen to this audio tape and just maybe it will open some eyes about the existence of aliens.

News states: 

At 6.47am on November 9, 2018, the pilot of a British Airways flight contacted Shannon Air Traffic Control (ATC) to report a mysterious object travelling at high speed, and to ask if there were military exercises taking place in the airspace through which her Boeing 787 was passing. She was told that no military exercises were taking place, and that there was nothing unusual showing up on radar.

The pilot responded: “OK. It was moving so fast.” The controller then asked: “Alongside you?” She described how the UFO came up along the left-hand side of the aircraft, “then rapidly veered to the north”. She said it was “a very bright light” that “disappeared at very high speed”. The pilot of a Virgin Airlines Boeing 747 then joined the conversation and said there were “multiple objects following the same sort of trajectory”. Shannon ATC asked if the pilots knew which direction the objects were heading.

The Virgin Airlines pilot said it was in his “11 o’clock position” with “two bright lights over to the right”, that then climbed away at speed. The Irish Aviation Authority has begun an investigation into the sighting.

Multiple Aircrafts Report UFO Sighting Over Ireland

Last Friday, the Irish Aviation Authority launched an investigation into the sighting of an unidentified flying object (UFO) by a number of aircraft over the southwest coast of Ireland.

At around 6.47 a.m. on 9 November, the pilot of a British Airways flight, Speedbird94, contacted Shannon Air Traffic Control (ATC) to ask whether military exercises were taking place in the airspace through which her Boeing 787 was passing. Shannon ATC then asked if the pilots knew in which direction the objects were moving.

Another pilot said the speed of the object was astronomical, it was like Mach 2, or twice as fast as the sound.

In a statement, the agency said the following reports from a small number of aircraft on Friday, November 9, of unusual air activity, the IAA submitted a report.

HE RECORDED AN IMPRESSIVE UFO SIGHTING DURING A LIVE BROADCAST IN MEXICO

A video filmed this October 28 in Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico, around 4:23 am, caused a great debate on social networks.

The author of the video, Esteban Zavala, claims to have shared live on Instagram the strange event that was “happening”.

“I was driving back to San Diego, California, with my grandmother. We were having a normal conversation when suddenly she stays silent and starts pointing to the sky. I looked and there were five of these things about the houses and the beach.

I parked and immediately began to broadcast it live on Instagram, hence its quality, to save me future speculations on video editing, “writes Zavala in the description of the video posted on YouTube.

In the comments, the cybernauts express their astonishment before huge flying saucers that seem to have a row of white lights covering their side.

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL VIDEO:

Einstein Reveals The Existence Of Aliens On Earth In This Document Written With Oppenheimer

This ice type was only discovered occurring naturally in March, trapped inside diamonds deep underground, and this latest study looks in detail at how exactly it takes shape – apparently in a way that's completely different to how water usually freezes into ice.

Based on a mathematical model devised by researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, there's a certain pressure threshold across which Ice VII will spread with lightning speed. This process of near-instantaneous transformation is known as homogeneous nucleation.

"This is a regime where the limits of our physical understanding are being tested," says one of the team, physicist Alex Chernov.

Scientists had already worked out that Ice VII could form under high temperatures coupled with intense pressure – around 100,000 times greater than normal atmospheric pressure – but experiments had shown it forming both homogeneously (almost all at once) and heterogeneously (from the surface inwards).

Up until now, that had physicists scratching their heads. This new research suggests a specific tipping point is the reason for the variations – as well as a difference in temperature between the liquid water and the ice crystals being formed.

These types of ice, or ice phases, also have different atomic structures in their crystals, which have a crucial impact on how the liquid water turns into solid ice. The researchers were able to determine that Ice VII initially forms in molecule clusters before spreading in nanoseconds across a body of water.

That's partly because there's no layer of heat at the point of nucleation – the point where the liquid turns solid – as there would be in ice that's freezing at normal pressures.

"There is no need for the slow process of latent heat removal and the interface velocity is controlled only by very fast molecular ordering at the interface," Chernov explains.

Now that we have a mathematical model that fits the experimental data, we can apply it in all kinds of other areas of research. The existence of Ice VII itself was theorised and created in a lab first before being found packed away in diamonds.

The new explanation of how Ice VII forms at a fundamental, molecular level could have implications for the study of memory storage, material synthesis, and much more, according to the team behind the new model.

It could also prove prove useful in our hunt for life on other planets. The existence of water is used as a key indicator of whether life can exist on planets other than Earth, but if that water is pressurised enough to get zapped into Ice VII, then there might not be any life left to find.

"Water on these ocean worlds, under bombardment from other planetary bodies such as meteors or comets, undergoes intense changes for which life might not survive," senior author and materials chemist Jonathan Belof told Physics Central.

It's another clue for working out if an icy planet might be habitable, as well as just a fantastically cool example of how the boundaries of physics keep getting pushed.

• The research has been published in Physical Review Letters.

For The First Time, Scientists Have Captured 'Alien Ice' Crystallising on Earth

PETER DOCKRILL

Not all ice is the same. In distant realms far beyond this world's Slurpees, melting glaciers, and the Ice Bucket Challenge, water hardens into a solid state in strange ways that just aren't possible here on Planet Earth.

Now, for the first time, scientists have managed to catch one of these alien, otherworldly ices in the act as it crystallises – recording water freezing into a structure called Ice VII (aka 'ice seven') under extreme, controlled conditions in the lab.

"These experiments with water are the first of their kind, allowing us to witness a fundamental disorder-to-order transition in one of the most abundant molecules in the Universe," says geophysicist Arianna Gleason from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

But wait – if you're wondering what happened to Ices I through to VI already, you've got another thing coming. There are actually around 20 known crystalline phases of ice, and only two of them – hexagonal ice and cubic ice – occur naturally on Earth.

Hexagonal ice, also known as Ice Ih (ice one h), is the structure of pretty much all the frozen water humans ever come into contact with on Earth's surface, while cubic ice (Ice Ic, or ice one c) is thought to sometimes form in our planet's upper atmosphere.

All the other kinds of ice would only occur in conditions involving extreme temperatures or pressures not found here on Earth. Sometimes scientists can replicate those parameters in the lab and artificially create foreign ice structures, while at other times they only exist in simulations, being too difficult to actually synthesise.

In the case of Ice VII, this incredibly dense form is thought to naturally occur when icy planetary bodies collide in space, bringing an insane amount of pressure to bear on any liquid water molecules caught in the squeeze.

To recreate the intensity of such a hypothetical clash, Gleason's team fired a laser at a layer of diamond adjacent to a small cell containing liquid water.

Doing so vaporised the diamond and generated an intense shock wave, compressing the water to a pressure some 50,000 times greater than the Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level and triggering the phase change from liquid to solid.

At the exact same instant, pulses from a strobing X-ray laser imaged the water as it underwent its transformation, providing the first record of Ice VII crystallising on Earth.

"It really is like a tiny rocket effect," Gleason told Sarah Lewin at Space.com.

"We discovered that we can transform the liquid into a solid just by moving the shock wave through. And during that tiny, short amount of time – it really is only a few nanoseconds, that's a billionth of a second – we probe with these ultrafast and brilliant X-ray pulses."

According to the team, this kind of laser setup could help scientists to capture some of the other mysterious ice structures at the moment of crystallisation – and the things we can learn from studying these molecular transitions aren't purely theoretical.

With Ice VII, for instance, knowing how ice crystals form on icy moons and comets could help us prepare for future space exploration to destinations like Jupiter's moon Europa, and help us understand why impact craters form the way they do on battered off-world landscapes.

According to planetary scientist Sarah Stewart from the University of California, Davis, who wasn't involved with the study, there's no shortage of demand for these kinds of insights.

"Looking at the fundamental materials that are everywhere in the Solar System to understand what happens under dynamic pressure," she told Space.com, "as a materials scientist, you eat this up."

• The findings are reported in Physical Review Letters.

Harvard-experts over ‘vliegende sigaar’: “Wat als dit sonde van aliens is?”

De piloot vroeg omstreeks zeven uur ’s ochtends de verkeersleiding van het vliegveld Shannon of er een militaire oefening gaande was, nadat hij een voorwerp nabij had gespot dat zich “razendsnel verplaatste”. Dat bleek niet het geval.
Vervolgens meldde de piloot een “zeer helder licht” te zien en een voorwerp dat aan de linkerkant van zijn vliegtuig vloog en snel naar het noorden verdween.

“Astronomische snelheid”

Een andere piloot zegt “twee felle lichten” te hebben gezien, die met hoge snelheid omhoog vlogen. Hij spreekt van iets met een “astronomische snelheid, bijna twee keer dat van het geluid”.

De piloot van een Virgin-toestel suggereert dat het mogelijk een meteoriet was die de atmosfeer binnenkwam. Volgens de man volgden meerdere objecten dezelfde baan.

De Ierse luchtvaartautoriteiten nemen de meldingen serieus, maar heeft nog geen verklaring. “De IAA heeft een rapport ingediend, nadat een aantal vliegtuigen melding heeft gemaakt van ongewone luchtactiviteit”.

‘Oumuamua, that Hawaiian-named, cigar-shaped comet / asteroid / spaceship / planet fragment / something else and the controversy surrounding what exactly it is keeps getting more heated … now with personal attacks, rebuttals and more. Less than a week after many media sites reported that Avi Loeb, chairman of Harvard’s astronomy department, said in a letter in The Astrophysical Journal Letters that ‘Oumuamua could be a spaceship or a “lightsail of artificial origin “from an alien civilization, his and his co-author’s intelligence and opinions were called into question by scholars in numerous fields.

llightsail

“Like most scientists, I would love there to be convincing evidence of alien life, but this isn’t it. It has already been shown that its observed characteristics are consistent with a comet-like body ejected from another star system. “And some of the arguments in this study are based on numbers with large uncertainties.”
— Dr. Alan Fitzsimmons, Queens University Belfast.

And …

“The thing you have to understand is: scientists are perfectly happy to publish an outlandish idea if it has even the tiniest *sliver* of a chance of not being wrong. But until every other possibility has been exhausted dozen times over, even the authors probably don’t believe it.”
— Astrophysicist Dr. Katie Mack, North Carolina State

The Daily Galaxy contacted Dr. Loeb and he clarified the contents of the letter. Here are portions of his response:

“I was very surprised about the reaction of the media to our paper … It is exciting to live at a time when we have the scientific technology to search for evidence of alien civilizations. The evidence about `Oumuamua is not conclusive but interesting. I will be truly excited once we have conclusive evidence … The excess acceleration of `Oumuamua was detected at multiple times, ruling out an impulsive kick due to a break up of the object. The only other explanation that comes to mind is the extra force exerted on `Oumuamua by sunlight. In order for it to be effective, `Oumuamua needs to be less than a millimeter in thickness, like a sail. This led us to suggest that it may

be a light-sail produced by an alien civilization. I welcome other proposals, but I cannot think of another explanation for the peculiar acceleration of `Oumuamua.”

‘Oumuamua’s path through the solar system

Loeb’s co-author, Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, also responded. Here are portions of his answer/defense:

“It’s true that the Harvard paper suggesting that this object might be engineered, rather than simply the ten millionth rock from the Sun, has certainly provoked a lot of interest by the public. But one should keep in mind that the idea of alien company has perennially been interesting to the public … One-third of the public seems to think that we really are being visited by extraterrestrial tourists … It’s obviously far less interesting to suggest that Oumuamua might be no more than an insensible, random hunk of ice.”

Loeb is an adviser to Breakthrough Starshot, an initiative working to send a fleet of tiny laser-powered lightsails to the nearest star system. Is his study about ‘Oumuamua possibly just a justification for this project? Is his quest to find alien life blinding him to scientific principles? What does Harvard think about all of this attention from the UFO world?

One thing is for certain … the controversy circling ‘Oumuamua is far from over.
