Kan een afbeelding zijn van hond

Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    ‘Crispr-tweeling’ roept heftige reacties op

    Het nieuws uit China over de geboorte van een ‘genetisch verbeterde’ meisjestweeling, slaat in als een bom. Terwijl de straffe claim van geneticus He Jiankui – die inmiddels op slag beroemd is – nog moet worden gecontroleerd, reageren wetenschappers met afkeuring.

    Eerst de feiten.

    Gisteren vertelde de Chinese geneticus He Jiankui tijdens een persbabbel dat er enkele weken geleden ‘ergens in China’ een meisjestweeling is geboren met een doelbewust aangebrachte genmutatie. De genetische ingreep zou de meisjes minder vatbaar maken voor hiv, het virus dat aids veroorzaakt. Jiankui was tot begin dit jaar verbonden aan de Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, maar opmerkelijk genoeg is hij sindsdien op ‘onbetaald verlof’, zo meldt de universiteit. Jiankui deed zijn aankondiging in Hong Kong. Uitgerekend vandaag begint daar een belangrijke internationale conferentie rond genoombewerking bij mensen.

    De universiteit in Shenzhen distantieerde zich al, omdat Jiankui de genbewerking niet in hun labs heeft uitgevoerd

    De tweeling werd geboren uit een ouderpaar dat bij Jiankui een ivf-behandeling onderging. De wetenschapper zou met de genetische knip-en-plaktechniek crispr, die sinds enkele jaren volop in de schijnwerpers staat, een welbepaald gen hebben uitgeschakeld dat een rol speelt in de hechting van het hiv-virus aan onze witte bloedcellen. Dat gen, ccr5 genaamd, is al langer bekend bij virologen die onderzoek doen naar (gedeeltelijke of volledige) aidsimmuniteit. Zo zijn er mensen met een gemuteerd ccr5 gen op wie het aidsvirus geen vat lijkt te hebben. De vaststelling dat deze mutatie voornamelijk voorkomt bij Europeanen (of mensen met een Europese afkomst), voedt de hypothese dat de genvariant vroeger ook bescherming bood tegen middeleeuwse ziekten zoals de builenpest.

    Jiankui sleutelde (naar eigen zeggen) al tijdens de vroegste embryonale fase aan de genen van de twee meisjes, vlak na de bevruchting van de eicellen. Na de ingreep met de crispr-technologie plantte hij de eicellen weer in bij de moeder, maar niet voordat hij had gecontroleerd dat de ingreep geen andere wijzigingen had veroorzaakt, buiten de gewenste ccr5-mutatie.

    He Jankui vertelde dat hij het experiment uitvoerde om de tweelingzussen levenslang te beschermen tegen HIV-infectie.

    René Custers, responsible research manager bij het Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie, houdt desgevraagd nog een slag om de arm, vooraleer hij het nieuws van gisteren als historisch wil bestempelen. ‘We wachten nog op wetenschappelijke bevestiging. Bovendien heeft de universiteit in Shenzhen zich al gedistantieerd van het verhaal, ook al omdat Jiankui de ivf-behandeling en de genbewerking niet in de labs en gebouwen van de universiteit heeft uitgevoerd.’

    Maar als het verhaal klopt, dat is het ongetwijfeld dé wetenschappelijke gebeurtenis van het jaar. Niet omdat het om een grote technologische doorbraak gaat, maar omdat er ethische en morele grenzen zijn overschreden. ‘De oppuntstelling van de crispr-techniek enkele jaren geleden, dát was een grote doorbraak’, zegt Custers. ‘Vandaag wordt die techniek heel breed toegepast in het wetenschappelijk onderzoek.’

    "Niet het technologische, maar het controversiële aspect maakt het nieuws van de crispr-tweeling breaking"

    Het is dus het controversiële aspect dat het nieuws van de crispr-tweeling breaking maakt. Custers: ‘In het veld wordt er al jaren gesproken over de wetenschappelijke, ethische en beleidsmatige aspecten van menselijke genoombewerking. Bijvoorbeeld over wat er in fundamenteel onderzoek verantwoord is, en wat niet. En welke toepassingen er mogen worden ontwikkeld. Ook over de veiligheid van toepassing bij de mens wordt nog volop gediscussieerd.’

    Een gezaghebbend Amerikaans rapport uit 2017, opgesteld door de National Academy of Science en de National Academy of Health, vermeldt een reeks strikte voorwaarden waaraan genetische experimenten die als doel hebben zware ziekten te voorkomen of te genezen, moeten voldoen, willen ze ethisch verantwoord zijn. Voor de casus van Jiankui is dat zeker niet het geval. Bovendien beschouwen de auteurs van het rapport experimenten met het doel de mens te ‘verbeteren’, duidelijk als een stap te ver.

    Tot nu beperkte het (gepubliceerde) wetenschappelijke crispr-onderzoek op mensen zich tot klinische tests waarbij verschillende types menselijke lichaamscellen in het lab worden gewijzigd, en daarna teruggeplaatst. Daarbij worden de geslachtscellen niet gewijzigd, zodat de veranderingen niet kunnen doorgegeven worden aan het nageslacht (dat is bij de Chinese tweeling dus wel het geval). Daarnaast zijn er ook menselijke embryo’s ‘behandeld’ met crispr, maar steeds zonder de intentie om ze te laten uitgroeien tot mens. Dat laatste is dan ook in heel wat landen bij wet verboden.

    CRISPR-Cas maakt het mogelijk met ongekende precisie DNA te wijzigen en genen uit te schakelen. De genbewerkingstechniek ontketent een ware revolutie in de biologie: niet alleen biomedici, maar ook neurowetenschappers en plantbiologen gaan ermee aan de slag.

    Het DNA is een soort uitgebreide catalogus waarin alle instructies te vinden zijn die de eigenschappen van een organisme bepalen. Of het nu gaat om de kleur van ogen bij een mens, de vorm van de bladeren bij een plant of het soort antibioticum waartegen een bacterie resistent is, het zijn allemaal kenmerken die vast liggen in de code van het DNA.

    Deze code bestaat uit een opeenvolging van 4 bouwstenen of basen, die aangeduid worden met de letters A, T, G en C. In het geval van Escherichia coli, een darmbacterie bij mens en dier die vaak als modelorganisme in het labo bestudeerd wordt, omvat de genetische code meer dan 4,6 miljoen posities of baseparen, terwijl het menselijk genoom opgebouwd is uit ongeveer 6 miljard baseparen. Een fout op slechts één van deze posities, ook wel een mutatie genoemd, kan zorgen voor een ingrijpende verandering in het organisme.

    Zo zijn verschillende menselijke ziektes een gevolg van mutaties, zoals taaislijmziekte of de ziekte van Huntington. Niet alleen om deze fouten te corrigeren, maar ook om de informatie die in het DNA opgeslagen zit beter te begrijpen, zijn wetenschappers op zoek naar manieren om de genetische code aan te passen. De technieken die tot voor kort beschikbaar waren, bleken vaak zeer tijdrovend en arbeidsintensief. Zo kon het wel enkele maanden tot een half jaar duren om slechts één verandering aan te brengen in het DNA. Tot in 2012 CRISPR op de wereld werd losgelaten...

    Wat is dat nu, CRISPR?

    Bacteriën kunnen aangevallen worden door virussen. Ze vallen de bacteriën namelijk aan om zich voort te planten. Hierbij injecteert het virus een stukje DNA in de bacterie dat dan alle informatie bevat die nodig is om nieuwe virussen op te bouwen. Om zich te beschermen zal de bacterie dit stuk DNA dus moeten vernietigen nog voor de nieuwe virusdeeltjes gevormd worden. Een tijdje geleden werd ontdekt dat bacteriën zich tegen deze virussen konden beschermen door middel van het CRISPR/Cas systeem. Het CRISPR/Cas systeem is dus eigenlijk niet meer dan het immuunsysteem van bacteriën, zoals ook mensen een immuunsysteem hebben om zich tegen ziekteverwekkers te beschermen.  

    Het CRISPR systeem zal eerst en vooral stukjes uit het vreemde virus-DNA halen en inplakken in het eigen DNA. Deze stukjes worden telkens in dezelfde regio in het DNA van de bacterie ingeplakt, ook wel de CRISPR regio genoemd. Deze regio bevat dus een verzameling van stukjes van alle vreemd DNA waar de bacterie al mee in contact is gekomen en kan aangewend worden om later infectie met diezelfde virussen snel te herkennen en onschadelijk te maken.

    Het stukje DNA dat opgeslagen wordt doet vervolgens dienst als een soort gids voor het Cas9 eiwit, een moleculaire schaar. Cas9 is in staat om het DNA te knippen en wel op een zeer specifieke plaats die volledig bepaald wordt door het stukje dat eerder uit het vreemd DNA werd gehaald. Dus bij een aanval van een virus zal het Cas9 gegidst worden door het reeds opgeslagen stukje DNA van dat virus in zijn CRISPR regio en heel specifiek het geïnjecteerde DNA van dat virus kunnen knippen. De enorm hoge nauwkeurigheid van dit systeem en de mogelijkheid om heel specifiek op een bepaald stuk DNA te knippen bracht onderzoekers een paar jaar geleden op het idee om CRISPR/Cas te gebruiken voor genmodificatie in andere organismen.

    Knippen in het DNA voor genmodificatie?

    Inderdaad, dat klinkt op het eerste zicht een beetje vreemd. Het oorspronkelijke CRISPR/Cas systeem in bacteriën is namelijk bedoeld om DNA weg te knippen. Toch kunnen we dit gebruiken voor genmodificatie. Wanneer het DNA van een organisme geknipt wordt, zal het er alles aan doen om deze breuk te herstellen, zoniet zal het organisme sterven. Dit herstel kan gebeuren door het terug aan elkaar plakken van de twee losse eindjes. Daar treden echter heel wat fouten bij op wat niet gewenst is als je een specifieke verandering wil aanbrengen.

    Gelukkig kan de cel de breuk in het DNA nog op een andere manier herstellen. Zo kan de cel een voorbeeldstukje DNA gebruiken om de plaats waar geknipt is terug te herstellen. Dit voorbeeldstukje DNA heeft identieke stukken met het oorspronkelijke DNA voor en achter de knipplaats. Daardoor kan het herkend worden en gebruikt worden voor herstel. We kunnen daar als onderzoeker nu zelf gebruik van maken door in dit stukje DNA onze gewenste veranderingen aan te brengen. Op die manier kunnen we één basepaar veranderen, extra stukjes invoegen, stukjes verwijderen of zelfs stukjes van richting veranderen. Zo opent CRISPR/Cas oneindig veel mogelijkheden voor het aanpassen van DNA.  

    De CRISPR-revolutie

    Uitvinders Emmanuelle Charpentier, Jennifer Doudna en Feng Zhang kwamen op het idee om de CRISPR/Cas moleculaire schaar van de bacteriën te gebruiken om DNA te knippen in andere organismen zoals planten, dieren en mensen. In 2012 kwamen de eerste berichten binnen dat CRISPR/Cas gebruikt kon worden voor het aanpassen van genetisch materiaal in menselijke cellen. Dit was het beginpunt voor de CRISPR-revolutie in de biologie.

    Onderzoek naar het CRISPR systeem explodeerde in de daaropvolgende jaren en het gebruik van de techniek werd aangetoond in steeds meer verschillende organismen. Vele bedrijven werden opgericht om de techniek te commercialiseren. CRISPR/Cas wordt ook wel de 'Wetenschappelijke ontdekking van de eeuw' genoemd. De impact van CRISPR is zo enorm groot dat zijn uitvinders de afgelopen twee jaar kans maakten op de Nobelprijs, ware het niet dat er ondertussen ook een verwoede patentoorlog tussen hen aan de gang is die moet beslissen aan wie de CRISPR-rechten toebehoren.

    Waarvoor kan CRISPR gebruikt worden?

    Vele menselijke ziektes worden veroorzaakt door mutaties. Met CRISPR zouden deze fouten in het DNA gecorrigeerd kunnen worden. Ook voor verschillende soorten kanker zou CRISPR een oplossing kunnen bieden. Uiteraard staan nog heel wat ethische kwesties het effectief toepassen van CRISPR voor genetische manipulatie van mensen in de weg. Gezien de enorme kracht van CRISPR is het van groot belang dat de techniek enkel kan ingezet worden voor ethisch verantwoorde doeleinden.

    CRISPR werd wel reeds ingezet voor het aanmaken van gewassen die meer bestand zijn tegen droogte of ziekteverwekkers. Ook algen werden reeds gemanipuleerd voor het optimaliseren van de productie van bio-brandstoffen. Door de brede toepasbaarheid zullen doorbraken in verschillende andere domeinen volgen in de nabije toekomst.

    Have astronomers found another Tabby’s Star?

    Remember when astronomers found Tabby’s Star and said they’d never seen anything like it? Now there’s another one … maybe.

    Artist’s concept of Tabby’s Star. It’s possible that dust causes its mysterious dips in brightness, which are similar to those in a newly found star, called VVV-WIT-07.

    Image via NASA/JPL-Caltech.

    Remember Tabby’s Star? It periodically dims in a sporadic and mysterious way. For a while, astronomers thought it might have an alien-built Dyson sphere around it, but now they think not. Astronomers have now found another mysteriously dimming star, perhaps similar to Tabby’s Star!

    Tabby’s Star – aka Boyajian’s Star – created a lot of public interest last year and earlier this year when it started to “act up” again, periodically dimming in brightness in ways that astronomers still haven’t fully explained. It even brightened significantly more than usual sometimes. Although astronomers now know that fine dust near Tabby’s Star is at least part of the answer, they don’t yet know where this dust might come from, or why it is behaving the way it does. So the mystery of Tabby’s Star continues.

    This month (November 2018), astronomers have been hashing over what may be a newly discovered second star similar to Tabby’s Star. At least, the new-found star displays some similar characteristics. The star – called VVV-WIT-07 (for “What is this?”) – was found by astronomers in Chile using the VISTA telescope in the Atacama Desert. Roberto Saito of the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Florianópolis, Brazil, and his colleagues first reported the star’s odd flickering November 6, 2018, in a peer-reviewed paper on arXiv.org. The findings were then reported in Science News on November 16. As Saito simply put it:

    We don’t know what the object is, and that’s interesting.

    The team wasn’t actually looking for something like VVV-WIT-07, rather they were searching for supernovas – exploding stars – part of a larger survey of the center of the galaxy called the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea, or VVV.

    But this star, like Tabby’s Star, suddenly dimmed. The star had been observed to periodically dim and brighten again before, between 2010 and 2018, with no set pattern, similar to Tabby’s Star. But while Tabby’s Star has been seen dimming as much as about 22 percent, this star was observed to suddenly dim as much as 80 percentAccording to astronomer Tabetha Boyajian of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, who Tabby’s Star is named after:

    If this phenomenon is the same as what’s happening with Tabby’s star, then we can’t invoke an elaborate explanation for what’s happening in both systems. If you’re starting to see stars similar to this all over the place, then it’s got to be a really common thing that happens in nature. That’s really cool.

    If other stars could be found which dim in a similar manner, then they may be fairly common.

    Astronomers are still not even exactly sure what type of star VVV-WIT-07 is. It lies in the plane of the galaxy from our viewpoint, so there is a lot of dust that partially obscures it. If it’s a young variable star, then the dimming might simply be internal to the star itself. But if it’s not, then it is still a largely open question. As Boyajian noted:

    Pretty much everything’s on the table for it right now. We need more data.

    There is also another star –  J1407 – that may be an even closer match to Tabby’s Star. that star has been observed to periodically dim by up to a whopping 95 percent. Astronomer Eric Mamajek of the University of Rochester in New York and his colleagues reported the discovery in 2012. Astronomers think that J1407 hosts an orbiting young giant planet or brown dwarf with an enormous ring system – much larger and heavier than Saturn’s – that periodically eclipses the star.

    According to Mamajek:

    This planet is much larger than Jupiter or Saturn, and its ring system is roughly 200 times larger than Saturn’s rings are today. You could think of it as kind of a super Saturn.

    As Matthew Kenworthy at Leiden Observatory in The Netherlands added:

    The details that we see in the light curve are incredible. The eclipse lasted for several weeks, but you see rapid changes on time scales of tens of minutes as a result of fine structures in the rings. The star is much too far away to observe the rings directly, but we could make a detailed model based on the rapid brightness variations in the star light passing through the ring system. If we could replace Saturn’s rings with the rings around J1407b, they would be easily visible at night and be many times larger than the full moon.

    VVV-WIT-07 may also turn out to be more similar to J1407, where a giant young planet or brown dwarf with a gigantic ring system orbits the star.

    Figuring out what is causing the weird dimming of VVV-WIT-07 – as with Tabby’s Star – will require further observations. Saito and his colleagues are hoping to be able to follow up using bigger telescopes, like the twin 8.1-meter Gemini telescopes or the Atacama Large Millimeter Array, both in Chile. Until then, astronomers can mostly just make educated guesses and come up with theories to explain the star’s behavior.

    Bottom line: The mystery of Tabby’s Star still hasn’t been solved yet, and now there is another star that seems to be behaving in a similar manner – VVV-WIT-07. The findings made about one of them may help to solve the enigma of both – or it may turn out that there are two different exotic explanations for why these stars suddenly dip in brightness so much. Either way, what we learn about them should be very interesting.

    Why aliens might turn to star collecting to save themselves

    As galaxies spread apart, extraterrestrials might want to assemble a nuclear "nest egg."
    Dyson sphere
    Aliens could build huge swarms of solar panels around stars to move them.
    Kevin Gill
    By Seth Shostak

    It’s often said that the search for aliens is too parochial — that our continuing efforts to locate cosmic radio broadcasts or laser beams are really just quests for analogs of ourselves.

    Why so? Well, these efforts presume that extraterrestrials have enough curiosity to reach out to others in the galaxy, or at least send messages skyward for their own purposes (perhaps as a galaxy-wide newscast). These are motives we can understand because our descendants might do something similar.

    But what about truly advanced beings? What would a higher-than-high-tech society do that others in the galaxy might notice? This is worth thinking about because broadcasting might not be their thing.

    One possibility is that they would build or rearrange big stuff — in other words, engage in civil engineering on the scale of planets or larger. That would produce the kind of artifacts that astronomers might hope to see with their telescopes. Such undertakings would be a burden on Klingon taxpayers, so whatever they did would have to be worth the money.

    THE ULTIMATE BUMMER

    Can we imagine a super-sized infrastructure project that would be a justifiable expense for the galaxy’s truly superior societies? Dan Hooper, a physicist at Fermi National Accelerator Lab near Chicago, believes he’s thought of one.

    He notes that if you’re a long-lived culture, planning to hang around for semi-eternity, then the expansion of the universe is the ultimate bummer. The star-filled galaxies are now known to be moving away from one another (although the stars within a galaxy won’t do this). Worse, the speed of their sprawl is increasing. Even a Hubble-like space telescope will someday be a bad investment for our distant descendants, as very few galaxies will be close enough for it to observe.

    That would frustrate future astronomers, of course. But an alien populace might see the thinning of the cosmos as an existential threat. Stars are useful energy sources, and each galaxy contains a few hundred billion of them. But every day, these fuel reserves retreat to greater and greater distances.

    NUCLEAR NEST EGG

    Hooper suggests that aliens would have the foresight to grab these stars while the grabbing’s good. They would snag them from surrounding galaxies and park them in their backyards for future use — a kind of nuclear nest egg that would provide sustenance during a dark and lonely future.

    Hooper doesn’t offer a detailed description of how aliens might accomplish this stellar roundup. But he notes that the energy for transportation could be harvested from the cargo itself — by building huge swarms of solar panels (so-called Dyson spheres) around the stars to be moved, and then using the collected energy to power some sort of rocket engine.

    In other words, the stars’ own glow could be used to carry them off to someone else’s galaxy.

    From the standpoint of discovering extraterrestrials, Hooper’s scenario has an interesting consequence: If any extraterrestrials have been collecting stars, we might be able to find their stockpiles simply by making detailed photos of galaxies — a routine activity for astronomers. If we see extended patches of light with the brightness of, say, thousands of stars — or a galactic region where stars seem to be missing — then we’ll know that someone (or something) was thinking long term: preparing for the inevitable cosmic winter by stocking up on necessities while they can.

    There are problems with Hooper’s idea. If there are many super societies out there, taking stars might be equivalent to cattle rustling on the final frontier. After all, you might be depriving someone of their future livelihood, and who knows if they’d fight back?

    And as a matter of physics, you’d have to transport the stars quickly. You can’t spend more than a few billion years hauling them home because stars are perishable goods — they burn out.

    The need for speed complicates the problem, because a high velocity requires lots of energy. As an example, suppose someone lugs a star from 10 million light-years away to our galaxy at one percent the speed of light, or nearly 7 million miles per hour. That’s a long ride, and even at this formidable speed, it would take a billion years. That might be OK, as most stars won’t expire in that time. But the fuel’s the rub, because rather few bright stars radiate enough energy in a billion years to accelerate themselves to one percent of light speed.

    So paying for the haulage with starshine is dicey. It’s roughly equivalent to buying something by mail order and having to pay many times the item’s cost for shipping. That’s clearly unattractive, but you can always say it’s a technicality to be left to the aliens to figure out.

    Hooper’s idea is imaginative, even if its practicality is uncertain. But at least it doesn’t assume that the extraterrestrials are like us. In the movies, the gray guys spend their time filching our resources, leveling our cities or assaulting our bodies. They’re no more than hairless hooligans. But for a society that’s millions or billions of years beyond us, there might be more important things to do.

    Cattle Mutilations: The History and Mystery Behind Them

    Cattle Mutilations: The History and Mystery Behind Them

    Freya KukaFreya Kuka

    Cattle mutilations have been plaguing the farmers that suffer from them since the early 1600s, and an end to these unexplained incidents does not seem to be in sight.

    In case you are reading this and are unaware of cattle mutilations, these are incidents that have been reported regarding dead animals mostly in farms with certain organs missing and no proof of anyone coming or going.

    Investigators in the 1960’s started taking it as a strong indication of alien involvement, and stories spread far and wide about extraterrestrial beings lifting creatures up into their spaceships to conduct gruesome experiments on them before sending back the mutilated carcasses.

    First Cattle Mutilations

    The first occurrences in the 1600s were said to be of similar nature to what happens today, where the sheep that were found had very specific organs missing. People who spoke about the cattle mutilations at the time said it was a satanic force that was causing it or something that was of an unearthly nature.

    The first reported incident was witnessed by Alexandra Hamilton who on April 21, 1897, said that he heard humming noises that he followed only to witness what he describes as an airship hovering over his cattle.

    He described it as a cigar-shaped craft that carried six of the strangest creatures he has ever seen. This is a snippet of some of the exact words Alexandra used to describe the incident that later spread like wildfire:

    It seemed to pause and hover directly over a two-year old heifer, which was bawling and jumping, apparently fast in the fence. Going to her, we found a cable about a half-inch in thickness made of some red material, fastened in a slip knot around her neck, one end passing up to the vessel, and the heifer tangled in the wire fence. We tried to get it off but could not, so we cut the wire loose and stood in amazement to see the ship, heifer and all, rise, slowly, disappearing in the northwest.

    Unfortunately, this incident was later admitted to being fake, and only spread because of the time period that it happened in. The only reason people continue to talk about it today is because it so closely matches the facts that surround mutilations seen now.

    The first modern incident was seen in 1967 with the infamous “Lady mutilation”, wherein press really seemed to focus on the possibility that it was extraterrestrials behind the occurrences.

    Agnes King and her son found there horse, Lady, mutilated with certain organs missing, which led to subsequent press involvement.

    The articles during that time focused on the fact that there were unearthly reasons behind the death of the horse and that the cuts were far too precise for it to be an animal.

    There were also no footsteps leading to or away from the horse, which gave more attention to the possibility that aliens and UFOs are conducting gruesome experiments in the name of science.

    The FBI and their role in what we believe in today

    fbi cattle mutilation report

    Like many aspects of modern society, when people become too paranoid, officials are forced to step whether they deem it worthy or not.

    This is precisely what happened in the 1970s when the FBI had to begin investigations regarding cattle mutilations, because there were simply too many people complaining. The conclusions that the FBI came to gave absolutely no credence to the conspiracy theories that were being talked about.

    The FBI came to the conclusion that foxes were responsible for the attacks where genitals, lips, ears and other soft body parts went missing in particular.

    The final 32-page report explained the smooth, precise cuts as being the work of the smooth teeth that worked like scissors for foxes because they were small and swift creatures.

    The FBI ended the investigation a little half-heartedly as well, due to the fact that at the time there was no law against cattle mutilation, which made the investigation low on the priority list.

    Even though the FBI narrowed the incidents down to natural death and scavengers, conspiracies still persisted, insisting that these organs were taken in specific because soft tissue is more easily attracted to natural inorganic substances in the environment which makes them great test subjects for, you guessed it, extraterrestrials.

    fbi cattle mutilation investigation

    The conclusion is that there are far too many incidents with unexplainable factors surrounding them for all of the incidents to be because of foxes and scavengers. This leaves room for other guesses to be made.

    Cattle mutilations today and what has changed

    Fast forward to 2018. The idea of a cow floating up into the sky with a mysterious light surrounding it, and its tongue gaping out is still believable for a lot of people around the world.

    In Argentina, history seemed to be repeating itself in August of 2018 when farmers were convinced that aliens were making cuts and marks over the bodies of mutilated animals, far too precise for any other explanation.

    Farmers in the area were blaming a South American mythical creature or aliens for the mutilations which shows that the way the incidents are perceived has not changed all that much.

    These samples were then sent for further research and no proof of the cow being shot and poisoned seemed to further convince the farmers that it was an unearthly cause.

    Experts on the subject did end the argument by saying that a hocicudo, which is an animal native to the region, is the most logical cause since these ‘natural scavengers’ seem to target the softer parts of the body for food.

    In regard to the cause of death, experts said exposure to the changing weather and lack of food is probably what caused the deaths.

    This answer is also extremely similar to the one given by the FBI during the investigations in the 70s.

    Although this explanation is logical, it is not exactly satisfactory for the farmers.

    They and other believers insist that the cuts are too precise and the mutilations happen at different times during the year. So as logical as the explanation is, it does seem to leave certain parts of the mystery clouding cattle mutilations unexplained, which leaves room for more speculation.

    De vreemde golven rolden van het eiland Mayotte naar Canada, Chili en zelfs Nieuw-Zeeland.

    De vreemde golven rolden van het eiland Mayotte naar Canada, Chili en zelfs Nieuw-Zeeland.
     Van Madagaskar tot Canada en zelfs Nieuw-Zeeland: op 11 november rolden bizarre seismische golven over de aarde en wetenschappers zitten drie weken later nog altijd met de handen in het haar. 

    Op 11 november pikten seismologische stations over de hele wereld twintig minuten lang golven op die afkomstig leken van een zware aardbeving. Maar nergens ter wereld deed er zich die dag een zware aardschok voor. Wetenschappers staan nog altijd voor een raadsel: wat heeft die golven dan wel veroorzaakt?

    Onderzoekers hebben intussen de oorsprong van de golven kunnen achterhalen: het eiland Mayotte ten noorden van Madagaskar in de Indische Oceaan. Maar daar gebeurde op 11 november niets noemenswaardigs. “Ik denk niet dat ik ooit al zoiets heb gezien”, vertelt seismoloog Göran Ekström van de universiteit van Columbia aan National Geographic.

    Wat wetenschappers vooral verbaast, is de zuiverheid van de golf en de precieze frequentie waarmee de verschillende golven op elkaar volgden. De meeste aardbevingen sturen namelijk verschillende golven uit met verschillende frequenties, maar het signaal vanuit Mayotte was een zuivere golf die zich elke 17 seconden herhaalde. 

    Intussen doen verschillende theorieën de ronde. Mogelijk werd een meteorietinslag niet gedetecteerd of barstte een onderwatervulkaan uit. Die laatste theorie lijkt ook plausibel volgens de Franse geologische dienst: “Het kan een teken zijn dat magma onder een vulkanisch eiland aan het bewegen is.”

    Ook Ekström is van mening dat de bron van de trilling veel minder ‘exotisch’ is dan de waarneming doet vermoeden. Bij Mayotte heeft sinds mei een aantal bevingen voorgedaan. De zwaarste daarvan, met een kracht van 5,8 op de schaal van Richter, was echter al op 8 mei.

    Sindsdien is het aantal bevingen in aantal en magnitude afgenomen, terwijl de mysterieuze trilling zich deze maand liet zien. “Het was alsof de hele planeet rinkelde als een bel’’, omschrijft de seismoloog de bijna muzikale gebeurtenis. Het onderzoek gaat verder.

    Wetenschappers blijven zoeken naar de oorsprong van de vreemde golven, maar tot dusver tasten ze allemaal in het duister.

    De MarCo maakte een prachtige foto van Mars kort na de landing.
     Dat de wereld maandag de geslaagde landing van de Amerikaanse robot InSight op Mars in real time kon volgen, is dankzij twee meegereisde cubesats. Maar de missie van die kleine cubesats deed nog veel meer en geeft interplanetaire missies nieuwe perspectieven, zo schrijft space. com op gezag van het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau NASA.

    Toen in mei vanop de basis Vandenberg in Californië een Atlas-V draagraket vertrok met de InSight, had die nog twee “passagiers” bij: de MarCo-A en MarCo-B. Die legden (autonoom) mee het 484 miljoen kilometer lange traject naar de Rode Planeet af. Dat was in het kader van een 18 miljoen dollar kostend project om na te gaan of dergelijke ruimtetuigen ter grootte van een aktetas een missie zoals InSight kunnen ondersteunen en of zij ook op hun eentje kunnen instaan voor kleinere en minder risicovolle interplanetaire missies.

    En dat kunnen ze blijkbaar. De vluchtleiding moest namelijk niet wachten tot een -rond Mars cirkelende- sonde in een zodanige positie was om data over de afdaling en landing van InSight door te sturen. De communicatie verliep via de twee MarCo’s.

    Foto van Mars

    Meer nog, minuten na de triomfantelijke landing van de robot - die met medewerking van de Belgische Koninklijke Sterrenwacht vooral het binnenste van de Rode Planeet moet onderzoeken - stuurde een camera al een foto van Mars door.  Die foto werd door een van de Marco’s gemaakt op een afstand van 7.600 kilometer. En er valt allicht nog veel meer data te vergaren. 

    Zo hebben beide cubesats volgens de NASA ook geprobeerd de Marsmanen Phobos en Deimos te fotograferen. Of het gelukt is, voegde het ruimtevaartbureau er niet aan toe. Beide MarCo’s reizen ondertussen verder door ons zonnestelsel.

    Is het Bulgaarse leger op buitenaardse technologie gestuit? Kolonel doet boekje open over Area 51 van Bulgarije

    Is het Bulgaarse leger op buitenaardse technologie gestuit? Kolonel doet boekje open over Area 51 van Bulgarije

    Het Bulgaarse plaatsje Tsaritsjina wordt ook wel het Area 51 van Bulgarije genoemd. In de jaren negentig groef het Bulgaarse ministerie van Defensie er een groot gat.

    Uiteindelijk werd het project stilgelegd en het gat volgestort met beton.

    Veel lokale bewoners en onderzoekers maakten melding van vreemde lichten in het gebied. Sommigen claimden te zijn geraakt door een ‘krachtige lichtstraal’.

    Buitenaards

    Ook zeiden verschillende lokale bewoners dat ze stemmen hoorden.

    Complotonderzoekers claimden dat het leger een driehoekig object had opgegraven, dat buitenaards zou zijn.

    Uit een documentaire die in 2007 werd uitgezonden op de Bulgaarse staatstelevisie bleek dat de meeste legerdocumenten over het gat waren verdwenen of vernietigd.

    In 1992 gaf de Bulgaarse kolonel Tsvetko Kanev een tv-interview over het project, waarin hij onder meer verwees naar een boek dat hij erover had geschreven.

    Humanoïde figuur

    Kanev vertelt daarin dat het leger op een diepte van zo’n vijf meter op een rechthoekige steen was gestuit.

    Het leger besloot dieper te graven en stuitte al snel op een tweede barrière, een plaat in de vorm van een holle lens.

    Rechts ervan was een muur te zien in de vorm van een humanoïde figuur die vele malen groter was dan een mens.

    Onbekende metaalsoort

    Volgens een soldaat die anoniem wilde blijven werden onderzoekers geraakt door een krachtige lichtstraal toen ze de plaat, die ‘bestond uit een onbekende metaalsoort’, probeerden op te hijsen.

    Plotseling stonden ze voor een 1,5 meter hoge tunnel met een zilvergrijze vloer en extreem gladde muren, die waren voorzien van onbekende tekens.

    Onzichtbare muur

    Kolonel Kanev claimde dat één van zijn collega’s iedere keer dat hij erdoorheen wilde gaan, werd teruggeworpen alsof hij tegen een onzichtbare muur opliep.

    Angst voor het onbekende en gevaren en mysteries die verborgen lagen in de tunnel zorgden er volgens Kanev uiteindelijk voor dat het leger besloot om het gat te dichten.

    UFOs and Censorship: Managing Minds Through Media

    The panel further stated that its debunking goals should “be accomplished by mass media such as television [and] motion pictures…”  The extent to which the Robertson Panel’s recommendations were implemented is not entirely clear. However, even as late as 1966 the panel wielded a demonstrable influence over media representations of UFOs in the CBS TV broadcast of UFOs: Friend, Foe, or Fantasy?—an anti-UFO documentary narrated by Walter Cronkite. In a personal letter addressed to former Robertson Panel Secretary, Frederick C. Durant, panel member Dr. Thornton Page confided to having “helped organize the documentary around the Robertson Panel conclusions,” even though this was thirteen years after the panel had disbanded and despite the fact that he was personally sympathetic to the existence of flying saucers.

    Also notable is the 1956 docudrama Unidentified Flying Objects: The True Story of Flying Saucers. Neatly in line with the recommendations of the Robertson Panel, USAF to drew up contingency plans to counteract the anticipated fallout from the movie upon its release. The director of the USAF’s official UFO investigations unit Project Blue Book, Captain George T. Gregory, was tasked with monitoring not only the movie’s production process, but its public and critical reception. Believing the docudrama would stir up a “storm of public controversy,” the USAF set about preparing a special case file that would debunk every saucer sighting examined and even went so far as to have three of its Blue Book officers provide “technical assistance” to the filmmakers in an effort to control content.

    Major Donald Keyhoe.

    The mentality of the CIA-Robertson Panel was reflected in other productions during the 1950s. On 22 January 1958, the popular CBS television show Armstrong Circle Theatre presented an entire program dedicated to the subject of Unidentified Flying Objects, titled, “UFO: Enigma of the Skies.” Among the high-profile experts invited to speak on the show was retired US Navy Major Donald Keyhoe, Director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). Keyhoe was notable for his outspoken views on government secrecy surrounding the UFO phenomenon. Arguing against UFO reality on the program were astronomer and vehement UFO skeptic, Donald Menzel, and Air Force representative, Col. Spencer Whedon of the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC). Their task should have been an easy one as the show’s content had been scripted in advance by CBS in conjunction with the US Air Force (USAF), and all guests, especially Keyhoe, had been instructed to read their pre-approved material from a teleprompter.

    When it came time for Keyhoe to speak, in frustration, he veered from his script and stated to the nation: “And now I’m going to reveal something that has never been disclosed before…” 1 The rest of his announcement went unheard by television viewers. Unbeknownst to Keyhoe, his microphone had been cut by the station. He continued:

    For the last six months, we have been working with a congressional committee investigating official secrecy about UFOs. If all the evidence we have given this committee is made public in open hearings, it will absolutely prove that the UFOs are real machines under intelligent control.

    After the show, CBS was inundated with calls and letters from viewers demanding to know why Keyhoe’s audio had been cut. “Call it what you like,” wrote one viewer, “but it appeared to be a very shocking display of censorship; and certainly offensive to the intelligence of the American public…” Nine days later CBS admitted it had been subject to official censorship. In a letter to a disgruntled viewer dated 31 January 1958, CBS director of editing, Herbert A. Carlborg, stated:

    This program had been carefully cleared for security reasons. Therefore, it was the responsibility of this network to ensure performance in accordance with predetermined security standards. Any indication that there would be a deviation might lead to statements that neither this network nor the individuals on the program were authorized to release.

    Yet another case in this vein relates to a UFO-themed episode of the Steve Canyon TV show (1958–1959). Backed by Chesterfield Cigarettes and produced at Universal Studios with the full cooperation of the USAF, the NBC show chronicled the live-action exploits of Milton Caniff’s famous comic strip character. The episode to which the USAF took objection, “Project UFO,” saw Colonel Steve Canyon investigate a spate of flying saucer sightings reported to a local Air Force base. According to aviation historian, James H. Farmer, “This was an episode that the Air Force did not really want to be aired,” because the UFO subject was “a hot potato.”

    By the time the USAF had finished with the script, it was, according to Farmer, “pretty tame… compared to the earlier renditions.” In the episode as aired, the UFO sightings are attributed to a combination of hoax-induced hysteria and, in support of the USAF’s original Roswell cover story, misidentifications of weather balloons. Producer, John Ellis, of the Milton Caniff Estate (which owns Steve Canyon) told me, “Every single page got re-written, and re-written, and re-written…” David Haft, the show’s producer, was more to the point in his recollection of the USAF’s reaction when he submitted the first script draft for official approval, “Oh, oh, oh, oh! No, no, no, no!” Haft also noted that the USAF had difficulty in deciding what was acceptable for broadcast.

    In one of the earliest drafts of “Project UFO,” Steve Canyon speaks to his Commanding Officer, Colonel Jamison, in defense of a civilian UFO witness, “Why call him a jerk?” asks Canyon, “Seems to me like he acted like a pretty solid, clearheaded citizen…” This dialogue was removed. Elsewhere in the draft, Canyon appears to be enthusiastic about flying saucers. At one point, when a fresh UFO report comes into the base from the local town, Canyon “Jumps to [his] feet, rushes to [the] door,” and cries “This I gotta see!” before making “a hurried exit.” In the final scene as originally written, Canyon is actually seen opening a book on flying saucers, “and sits there quietly reading…” This scene failed to make it into the final draft, and, in the version as aired, Canyon’s excitement about UFOs is replaced with skepticism or plain indifference. An entire plot strand concerning the recovery and scientific analysis of what is initially suspected to be flying saucer debris (shades of Roswell) was also predictably removed. The draft included dialogue like, “That thing [flying saucer] dropped a small metal ball enclosing an electrical apparatus so intricate, so ingenious, nobody yet has been able to figure out its purpose,” and, “the metal wouldn’t respond to any of the standard tests.”

    Despite the rewrites, the USAF insisted that the episode not be aired at all. “It got stuck on a shelf,” Ellis explains in his Steve Canyon DVD commentary, “it was finished… but they held on until near the end of the series to air it.” Indeed, it was only through a last act of defiance on the part of the show’s producers toward the end of its run in 1959 that the episode was screened at all.

    This is all just the tip of a very large iceberg when it comes to the history of government and military attempts to manage popular perceptions of UFOs. To document all such examples—from past to present—would require writing a book, which precisely is what I did. But the cases presented in this article at least provide a historical snapshot of just how seriously the powers that be have responded to what, for most audiences, would surely be considered harmless entertainment.

    As the years have progressed, the activities of the CIA and military in Hollywood have evolved from debunking and demystifying to more subtle strategies of perception management. Heavy-handed censorship no longer plays well in liberal Hollywood, nor does it serve the evolving interests of the national security state in relation to UFOs.

    In certain cases throughout the Cold War, the Robertson Panel’s recommendations may have been followed to the letter–using media to “debunk and demystify” UFOs. But CIA and military would soon have recognized this approach as illogical and unsustainable. It is impossible to disprove the existence of a phenomenon through media channels if the phenomenon persists in publicly and spectacularly manifesting itself–as has continued to happen in the United States and around the world. However, it is possible to manage how the public perceives the phenomenon. As such, as the Cold War thawed, the national security state began making concerted efforts to manage popular perceptions of UFOs by inserting itself into the production process of big and small screen entertainment products at every available opportunity, bringing their plots in line with their own mythologized, self-serving UFO narrative–a narrative that emphasises the potential threat of otherworldly visitors, justifying historical secrecy surrounding the subject while promoting the the the heroism and might of the American defense apparatus. In other words, officialdom’s attitude towards Hollywood eventually became “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, and exert what influence you can from within.”

    Of course, none of this should come as any real surprise. Governmental structures have long recognized the power of the media—especially entertainment media—to subtly mould our perceptions of the world around us. In his book, The Power of Movies: How Screen and Mind Interact, Professor Colin McGinn notes that “In the movie-watching experience we enter an altered state of consciousness, enthralling and irresistible.” And this, of course, makes cinema the perfect tool for perception management. When watching a film, says McGinn [or equally a TV show], “The critical faculties are reduced, the mind entering a state of dreamlike susceptibility and suggestibility—this is fertile ground for persuasion of one kind or another.”

    More recently, a former head of the CIA’s Entertainment Liaison Office, Paul Barry, remarked to propaganda studies expert Professor Tricia Jenkins: “You cannot underestimate Hollywood’s influence… most Americans are content to accept Hollywood’s message… very few ever conduct any research to determine the truth.”

    Today, the interlocking of Hollywood and the national security state is as tight as ever, as famed ex-CIA operative Robert Baer(whose life inspired the 2005 George Clooney thriller, Syriana) told me:

    “All these people that run studios, they go to Washington, they hang around with senators, they hang around with CIA directors, and everybody’s onboard.”

    A sweeping statement, to be sure, and perhaps not intended to be taken literally, but it is now a matter of historical record that the US national security apparatus has gone to great lengths over the years to ensure that all those individuals it requires to be “onboard,” are. After all, film and televisual media are far too potent to be left unexploited, too powerful to be left unchecked.

    Energy anomaly filmed in Pacific ocean

    Glowing Pink Energy Anomaly Filmed in the Pacific Ocean

    Sometimes complexity can be the opposite of interesting. We’ve all read things that are just manage to use 500 obscure five-dollar-words without saying anything at all, and we’ve all heard guitar solos that use every single possible note without hitting any emotional resonance whatsoever. Complex is not always what you need. The same is true for anomalous sightings. What’s weirder, a flying craft with all sorts of bells and whistles, lights and widgets sticking off its sides, or just a big pink square sitting in the middle of the ocean?

    It’s certainly debatable, but there’s something especially strange about geometric shapes and solid colors. While that last sentence reads like the internal dialogue of an infant musing over the mobile hung above his crib, it remains true. Certain things don’t show up in nature all that much, and when they do it can spark a sense of awe, excitement, and even fear, despite the likely mundane explanation. It’s just strange. Such is the case for a recent piece of footage, filmed in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

    Uploaded to the YouTube channel Disclose Screen ‘The Grimreefar,’ the video (which you can watch in full here) was allegedly captured somewhere in the western Pacific by a crew of fishermen. It shows a very bright pink rectangle on the horizon that seems to morph and change shape. The cameraman and the rest of the crew are shouting excitedly. They aren’t speaking English, so I have no idea what they’re saying. However, the Disclose Screen narrator is. He calls the video the one of the weirdest pieces of footage he’s seen, and refers to the glowing rectangle as “a massive energy” (sic). He also says that it looks like a Viking ghost ship, despite it being nowhere near Viking territory. He says it could also be aliens or “the government” (which government? It’s the middle of the ocean.)  The narrator also says that he sees “Loch Ness monster-type things” popping out of the water, and other strange anomalies in the sky, including UFOs.

    Ghost ship

    Wrong color scheme for a ghost ship, dude.

    When the video is slowed down and these other anomalies are circled, there are a couple of dark saucer shapes that appear, however briefly, in the sky. They appear too briefly to give any reasonable analysis. That’s not the case for the rest of the claims, which we will now tackle one by one.

    First, the Loch Ness monster-type things. What are they? We can answer that question with another: what do fishermen do? They fish. Those are fish. Or dolphins. Or birds. Or any other animal that lives in a part of the sea specifically targeted by fisherman, presumably on the knowledge that a lot of animals live there.

    Next, the “massive energy” itself. You know, I think he’s right. It is “a massive energy.” It’s the sun! It looks like it’s changing shape because of the rolling of the waves, the reflection off the water, and the low resolution footage. It’s a beautiful sunset poking through the clouds on the horizon, captured by fisherman who are freaking out because it’s a stunning and beautiful natural phenomenon. If you can’t recognize when people are gushing about a fantastic sunset, then that is the canary in the coal mine, choking out it’s death rattle, telling you to go outside once in a while, for the love of all that is holy.

    Sunset

    Look, on the horizon, a massive explosion of nuclear energy!

    But that’s the thing. Sometimes nature appears in a way that seems utterly alien to us. It’s human nature to stand in awe and wonder when we see it. Otherworldly phenomena may indeed exist, but don’t let the search for it cheapen your appreciation for beautiful sunsets.

    Scientists Unravel the Mystery of the Siberian Unicorn

    The unicorn might be a fantastical creature found only within the pages and filmstrips of fiction, but at least one real-life unicorn has walked the Earth before – that we know of at least. The Elasmotherium sibiricum, or “Siberian unicorn,” is an extinct type of one-horned ancient rhinoceros which once roamed the area that is now Eurasia from about 2.5 million years ago to right up until the Stone Age. In fact, there is some archaeological evidence that the Siberian unicorn and humans once lived side-by-side on the steppes of Western Siberia

    Size of siberian unicorn

    The Siberian unicorn (light gray) would have dwarfed even the largest humans.

    While scientists have known about the Siberian unicorn for around a century, they have had only a few scattered fossil records to go on. As a result, the creature has remained somewhat of a mystery. However, an international team of researchers were recently able to assemble a collection of 23 different Siberian unicorn bone specimens in order to try and uncover more about this relatively unknown creature. After performing radiocarbon dating and DNA analyses on the specimens, the team has now published a new study on Elasmotherium sibiricum which sheds some light on the lives of this “unicorn.”

    Siberian unicorn

    Not exactly the cuddly rainbow-pooping unicorns of Lisa Frank.

    According to the study, most of the Siberian unicorn fossil specimens were found to date to time rangers long after the animals were thought to be extinct, as recent as 35,000 years ago. Furthermore, the study determined that Elasmotherium sibiricum is not closely related to modern rhinoceroses as was previously thought, but instead split off of the rhino’s evolutionary lineage over 40 million years ago.

    Paleolithic cave art

    Paleolithic cave art from as far west as France suggests the animals may have roamed a much larger area than previously thought, too.

    The new timeline for the Siberian unicorn also sheds some light on the likely cause for its extinction. During the time to which the most recent specimens were dated, a period of colder winters meant there was far less grass for the animals to graze on throughout Eurasia. According to Alan Cooper of the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA at the University of Adelaide, the unicorn’s extreme specialization in eating grass meant that was its main food source died off, the animals likely starved to death:

    It looks like this unicorn thing was so specialised to eat grass it couldn’t survive. Its head was a whopping great big thing, it was kind of extended really really low, sitting right at grass height, so it really doesn’t have to lift its head up. There’s question of whether it could even lift its head at all! It was highly specialist so once the environment shifted it appears to have died out.

    Yikes. While the Siberian unicorn might have died out tens of thousands of years ago, this new timeline makes you wonder: if these “unicorns” and humans lived side-by-side for thousands of years, is that why unicorns are such a common legendary creature around the world? Depictions of unicorns are fairly ubiquitous worldwide. Like all beasts of lore and legend, the unicorn likely has its roots in the ancient human consciousness.

    Cloaked Triangle UFO caught on camera above Homesteadt, Florida near Naval Base

    On November 17, 2018 a triangular UFO has been filmed over Homestead, Florida close to the Naval Base.


    The cloaked object stays motionless in the sky, only the three bright lights in the form of a triangle are visible.

    It looks like it is a TR3B.

    Now, according to Smith, a top scientist, there are secret space stations approximately 10 times larger than the International Space Station, which are serviced by these TR-3B antigravity spacecraft.

    During his insider testimony on these secret space stations he claims work is taking place on extraterrestrial technology harvested from alien beings and their crashed or captured spaceships which would change the world as we know it.

    Below the footage of a possible TR-3B captured above Homesteadt, Florida.

    The sky is not the limit: Sir Richard Branson plans new submarine adventure

    He is better known for conquering the skies and is even planning to go to infinity and beyond with his ambitious space tourism programme. But now Sir Richard Branson has turned his attention to that other great undiscovered world, the depths of the ocean.

    The Virgin founder and all-round adventurer has unveiled his latest challenge, to explore the deepest points in each of the world's five oceans in a single-seated submarine, called Virgin Oceanic.

    Scroll down for video

    Mission impossible: Sir Richard Branson and American sailor Chris Welsh plan to take this eight-foot mini-submarine to explore the deepest points in the world's oceans

    Mission impossible: Sir Richard Branson and American sailor Chris Welsh plan to take this eight-foot mini-submarine to explore the deepest points in the world's oceans

    Sir Richard announced the project in Newport Beach, California, and said he was looking forward to learning more about 'the blue heart of the planet.'

    If all goes well, the deep sea exploration will break as many as 30 Guinness world records, including the five deepest dives in history.

    Sir Richard will take it in turns with U.S sailor and explorer Chris Welsh to pilot the snub-nosed submersible for five dives planned over a two-year period.

    The first dive - the deepest  - will take place in the western Pacific later this year.

    On their journeys to the bottom of the sea, Sir Richard and Mr Welsh will spend up to 12 hours in complete darkness and freezing cold in the submarine's tiny cockpit.

    Final frontier: The single-seated Virgin Oceanic sub is made of titanium and carbon fibre and is capable of withstanding pressures 1,500 greater than those exerted on aeroplanes

    Ready for anything: Sir Richard said reaching the bottom of the ocean is the 'last great challenge' for explorers

    It has been built to withstand the extreme pressure found 36,000 feet below the surface, which is 1,500 times the pressure exerted on an aeroplane.

    The eight-foot long craft, made of carbon fibre and titanium, has stubby wings and a cockpit. It can cruise for about 6.2miles and can stay submerged without help for 24 hours.

    Sir Richard said: 'With space long ago reached by man, and commercial space flight tantalizingly close, the last great challenge for humans is to reach and explore the depths of our planet's oceans.

    'There are enormous amounts of the oceans that have not been explored. More men have been to the moon than have been down further than 20,000 feet.'

    Mr Welsh will be the chief pilot for the first dive later this year. He will plunge into the Pacific's Mariana Trench, which goes down to 36,201 feet (11,033 metres).

    Sir Richard, back-up pilot on the first attempt, is then scheduled to pilot the red, white and blue submersible into the Atlantic's 28,232-feet deep (8,605 metres) Puerto Rico trench, which has never been explored before.

    He said the greatest danger is if the sub gets snagged on nets or shipwrecked galleons on the bottom.

    He said: 'It is like being lost on the dark side of the moon. There is nothing that is going to rescue us down there.'

    The 60-year-old is well known for his past adventures, including trying to circumnavigate the globe in a balloon.

    Going solo: Sir Richard will pilot the mini-sub on a trip to the bottom of the Atlantic's Puerto Rico trench, which has never been explored before

    Only two people have ever been deeper than 20,000 feet in the ocean, back in 1960. Sir Richard said these will be the first solo attempts.

    Much of life at such depths is still unknown: He said: 'We will be discovering life forms that have never been seen by human eyes.

    'It is one of the last great challenges for humans to explore the depths of our oceans. We will be seriously pushing the boundaries of human exploration.'

    The Oceanic project was originally conceived by Steve Fossett, Sir Richard's former adventurer partner, who died in a mysterious plane crash in California in 2007.

    He said: 'It will be very much in his honour and memory that we'll make the dives.'

    Is Richard Branson Trying To Contact Aliens? Taking Submarine Into Great Blue Hole. Nov 2018, UFO Sighting News.

     
    Date of news: Nov 29, 2018
    Location of hole: Caribbean, coast of Belize
    News source: 
    Richard Branson is about to take his mini submarine down a deep hole he named the Great Blue Hole. The hole is big enough for two 747 jets to fit easily across its opening. But the real question is...is Sir Richard Branson attempting to make contact with an alien species? 
     
    You see, this giant hole is well located so that people would almost never be around it, leaving it very secluded of a location and safe for UFOs to exit and enter without worries of being seen. However it seems that Branson wants to explore it and if he does actually come near an underground alien base...what will aliens do to him?
     
    Thats an interesting question and one of the answers is that they may capture him and keep him, forbidding him to leave so that no one would find out about the base. 
    Another scenario might have aliens instantly destroying the submarine...seeing it as a threat to their territory and not giving a damn who is in the submarine. 
     
    That last one scares the hell out of me and may have a higher chance of happening if he encounters aliens. Lets just hope he comes back safe.

    Video: UFO spotted over Spike Island

    IT APPEARS Spike Island is not just a popular destination for tourists if the latest UFO sighting in Cork is to be believed.

    A Cork photographer has said he is baffled after he captured video of an object hovering over Spike Island before ascending at speed into the sky on Monday.

    Cobh-native Luke Kelly-Wilmot was leaving his home in the harbour town when he spotted the object over the island. While travelling as a passenger in his girlfriend's car, he began filming and the video has gone viral since he shared it on social media.

    “My girlfriend was driving and we were travelling about 50km/h. A lot of people are saying it was a drop of water on the window but that's not possible as the window was down and we were travelling from left to right," he told the Evening Echo.

    “We were hopping into the car and I thought I could see something. As we were walking to the car I asked my girlfriend if she could see it but she didn't have her glasses on but I was sure I could see something over Spike.

    “At the time I didn't think anything of it but when we started moving and got up a bit higher I could see it hovering and that's when I took my phone out. I didn't see it take off with my own eyes because I had turned to say something to my girlfriend but when I watched it back I could see that it just took off and then it was gone. I put it up on social media and it has blown up online.

    “It's funny watching all the theories unfold on Facebook but I'm definitely going to keep my eye out now,” he added.

    Some have dismissed the object as a drone or a bird caught in a crosswind.

    However, the sighting is yet another unexplained event in Cork this month.

    Douglas resident Donal Brady was in Bishopstown on November 10 at a friend’s house when he spotted a bright light travelling across the sky slowly. His video has since been viewed 165,000 times on Youtube Both a British Airways pilot and a Virgin Airlines pilot reported sightings of a UFO to Shannon Air Traffic Control on Friday, November 9.

    The Irish Aviation Authority has launched an investigation into these incidents.

    UFO hunter Jeff Woolwine spots alleged Phoenix lights over his residence; alien debate on

    UFO hunter Jeff Woolwine has shared some eerie photos and videos that show bright flying objects hovering in the night skies of Phoenix, Arizona

    UFO Phoenix
    Jeff Woolwine: Facebook

    Jeff Woolwine, a popular UFO hunter based in Arizona, has released some eerie videos and pictures on his Facebook account that show bright flying objects hovering above his apartment. In the Facebook posts, Woolwine reveals that these glowing orbs were shot on November, and he argues that Phoenix lights are making its appearance again.

    It should be noted that Phoenix lights were a series of widely sighted unidentified flying objects (UFO) observed in Arizona initially on March 13, 1997. Later, the lights reappeared in 2008, and a few days back, conspiracy theory YouTube channel Mavi777 released a video that shows glowing orbs in the night sky of Surrey Park Phoenix, Arizona which many people considered the reappearance of Phoenix lights.

    In the video and photographs released by Jeff Woolwine, multiple lights can be seen hovering across the night skies, and interestingly, at the first glance, it looked like a giant triangular structure with lights on its edges.

    However, at some point in time, these lights seem to be individual bright orbs hovering in the skies. The objects apparently spotted above the apartment of Woolwine seem to be moving at times in the eeriest manner, and it literally resembled the objects that appeared above Surrey Park Phoenix a few days back.

    In one of the comments answered by Jeff Woolvine to a fan, the UFO researcher claims that each light spotted in the skies are actually living entities. Jeff Woolwine also believes that ancient Indian cave carvings hold the real secrets behind these weird skylights.

    this video looks way better on a computer screen then the phone.

    Jeff Woolwine can be also seen requesting his followers to read his new book 'Petroglyphs In The Sky' to understand more details about these flying UFOs in Phoenix.

    However, some skeptics argue that Jeff Woolwine is trying to popularise his new book through these videos.

    In the meantime, a section of conspiracy theorists has started claiming that these lights are actually alien spaceships from deep space. These theorists believe that aliens have been visiting the earth for hundreds of thousands of years and they even argue that governments all around the world are aware of their existence.

    Then aliens, now star cave paintings: Were ancient humans aware of Universe's dark secrets?

    Many people believe that ancient humans came to know about the dark secrets of space with the help of alien visitors from deep space.

    A few years back, archeologists discovered pre-historic paintings dated back to 10,000 years that depicted aliens and unidentified flying objects (UFO). These rock paintings discovered in Charama, India soon became a hot topic among extraterrestrial buffs, and many people considered it an authentic proof of alien existence.

    Humans knew what was happening on space

    Now, a team of researchers at the University of Edinburgh has spotted another set of ancient cave paintings which made many experts believe that early humans were aware of astronomy. The cave paintings supposedly more than 40,000 years old were discovered at various sites across Europe, and they suggest that ancient humans used to keep track of time using the knowledge of how the position of the stars slowly changes over thousands of years.

    Researchers who took part in this study revealed that symbols depicted in the caves are actually constellations, and they were used to represent dates and mark catastrophic events like asteroid hits. If the speculations of these researchers are right, ancient people were well aware of the effects which happen on earth due to its gradual shift of rotational axis.

    "Early cave art shows that people had advanced knowledge of the night sky within the last ice age. Intellectually, they were hardly any different to us today. These findings support a theory of multiple comet impacts over the course of human development, and will probably revolutionize how prehistoric populations are seen," said Martin Sweatman, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh and the lead author of the study, Eurekalert.org reports.

    Conspiracy theorists speculate alien angle

    Soon after the discovery of these European cave paintings, conspiracy theorists soon jumped to the conclusion that aliens from deep space have direct involvement in teaching ancient humans about astronomy and space. As per these conspiracy theorists, aliens have been visiting the earth for hundreds of thousands of years, and depiction of these extraterrestrial beings on Indian caves is a strong sign of their existence.

    Conspiracy theorists argue that ancient aliens which visited earth were often called 'Starmen' by humans. Due to their impeccable advancement in technology, humans often misunderstood them as Gods, and some section of people even started worshipping these extraterrestrial visitors.

    UFO

    Hair-Raising Footage Pops Up of 'Triangle UFO' Devouring Lightning Storm

    Less than two weeks earlier, conspiracy lovers eagerly chewed over alleged UFO sightings in the Irish skies; however, even non-believers were about to switch sides having learnt a probe was launched over the cases.

    A video has emerged on the YouTube channel UFO Today showing ‘a black triangle UFO feeding’ on the energy of 200,000 ampere lightning strikes ‘to load their intergalactic batteries’, the caption below the footage stated, adding that the incident recorded on 22 November was not the first time that an alleged UFO was caught on camera, bringing up one case in 2017 in the US.

    Conspiracy theorists further depicted the vehicle, which goes by the abbreviation TR3B – ‘a terrestrial aircraft that was built on re-engineered technology from an extra-terrestrial civilization when their aircraft crash landed into earth’.

    ‘Scientists were able to re-engineer the technology in order to create anti-gravity propulsion systems’, the website writers pointed out, asking readers to give their take on the matter.

    Some chose to make a couple of amendments to the conspiracy theory:

    ‘Just because this is a triangle does not mean this is TR3B… these are THEIRS not ours… ARCTURIAN to be exact’, one stated, with another one suggesting that it could be man-made, for instance, a surveillance plane.

    The news came shortly after reports over ‘apparent’ UFO sightings in Northern Ireland this month, as dash-cam footage uploaded by conspiracy channel Disclose TV appeared to showcase two weird, brightly-lit objects flying across the sky.

    In a parallel development, at least three pilots asserted in mid-November that they saw the same glittering object disappearing into thin air in a matter of seconds, even as authorities claim that no military training was underway at the time in the area. The first of the sightings reportedly occurred while one of the pilots was on board a Boeing 787, while en route from Heathrow to Montreal.

    Two more pilots chimed in, sharing the same impressions, with one expressing relief that it wasn’t ‘just him’, which prompted the Irish Aviation Authority to go as far as kick off a probe into the UFO sightings.

    THERE WAS AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATION ON EARTH BEFORE US

    These civilizations would have existed millions of years ago on Earth, to be precise almost 60 million years ago.

    Now, scientists ask if there would be evidence of such civilizations existing on Earth.

    If you take a look at the long history of our planet, you will see that almost sixty million years ago, our planet experienced temperatures much warmer than today, and the poles of the planet melted.

    THIS HISTORICAL FACT

    It has led some scientists to venture into the unknown and reflect on whether it is possible that this event, the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM), is the result of global warming caused by a civilization existing on Earth before humanity. Professor Frank writes: “Here is an enigma.

    If the industrial activity of a previous species is of short duration, we probably can not see it easily. “Therefore, he could take new and dedicated detection methods to find evidence of a truly ephemeral event in ancient sediments. In other words, if you are not looking for it explicitly, you may not see it. ”

    Professor Frank wondered: What could our civilization leave if it perishes one day and what other potential civilizations can find on Earth?

    Will they find us because of the chemicals we have been using? Or will they find evidence of an ancient civilization on Earth before them because we have been using fossil fuels?

    PROFESSOR FRANK CLARIFIES

    That although there is no evidence of an ancient advanced civilization that existed on Earth before us, the idea raises several possibilities with respect to the life cycle and how it can operate on other alien alien worlds.

    “It opened the possibility that some planets would have cycles fueled by fossil fuels of construction and collapse of civilization.

    If a civilization uses fossil fuels, the climate change they cause can lead to a large decrease in ocean oxygen levels. ”

    These low levels of oxygen (called oceanic anoxia) help to liberate the necessary conditions to make fossil fuels like oil and coal in the first place.

    In this way, a civilization and its demise could sow the seed of new civilizations in the future.
