UFO Recorded When Texas Woman Was Watching Sunset, Nov 19, 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.
I have said it before and I will say it again...if you have never seen a UFO and want too...then watch seven sunsets in a row and I promise you will see something that cannot be explained away.
Here a woman in Texas was watching the sunset and was lucky enough to catch a UFO as it hovered in the background. The setting sun really lights it up like a roman candle. During sunset, UFOs become vulnerable to the angle of the sun, human witness and UFO combined. This triangle will allow the UFO to be seen for a few minutes.
Nicolas Dumont could not be more casual as we chat about alien abductions. "It's not a hallucinatory experience or a spiritual one," says the clinical psychologist. "The experience leaves physical marks behind, plus victims get extraordinary powers, like the gift of healing or clairvoyance."
Dumont's patients believe they've experienced an alien abduction, with some saying they've been taken multiple times. The claims are so convincing in their detail, says Dumont, that he's fairly certain something must have happened.
Dumont isn't the first psychologist to specialize in this. John Edward Mack, a professor at Harvard and former psychiatrist, spent part of his life studying this same phenomenon, following nearly 200 cases of people who believed they had been abducted by aliens. In 2003, he explained in an interview: "When you're talking to a psychotic who's telling you something that seems like a psychosis, you do get the feeling that it never happened. But in these cases, it's nothing like that. These people are healthy. They question themselves sometimes. But they're describing an experience that's real and intense—something being done to their bodies."
A while ago, I spoke to some of Dumont's patients about their experiences. This time, I wanted to chat to the psychologist about how he thinks he can tell whether someone has been abducted or not and why he's convinced that more medical professionals should be open to believing in the supernatural.
VICE: How many patients have you seen who think they've been abducted by aliens?
Nicolas Dumont: Firstly, it's not as if they all come in saying "I was abducted by aliens," but lots of them think that it might be what happened. In the four years I've been doing this, I've seen about 100 patients, all French, who have shown signs of an abduction. I still see five of them regularly, several years after they first came to me. One of them, Sonia, has been experiencing these kinds of abductions since she was little.
What do you do when someone shows up at your office saying they were taken?
I have a two-pronged approach. First of all, the diagnosis: I want to understand who I'm talking to. A person is, first and foremost, a very precise personality and from a very precise culture. Their cultural context and their approach to the world are fundamental to this part of my approach. Then I go into the exploration phase with the patient. The goal is to clarify what they want. Some want to understand what happened, others want to end it, and, of course, many want confirmation of the idea they were abducted. Lots of them ask me for hypnosis, but that doesn't always work.
Watch: China Built a Space Base in Argentina to Explore the Dark Side of the Moon
So what's the evidence you look for that makes you believe a patient may have been abducted?
Often these people tell me they were awoken in the middle of the night and found themselves paralyzed. They saw non-human beings around them, whether they were at home or in an external place that might have been a spaceship. Sometimes they were in both. Some hadn't experienced anything until they woke up at home thinking it was morning before realizing 48 hours had just gone by. We call that "missing time"—it's very common. The best-known case is that of Betty and Barney Hill in 1966.
From there, whatever your culture and background, the same elements are always there. Almost universally, my patients talk about the presence of a table, very specific beings and telepathic contact. Mentioning these specifics right away focuses my thinking toward whether the person has actually experienced something or not. Very often, these people claim to have new powers. Some people can float out of their bodies, while others acquire healing powers. And most have marks on them from the experience.
"There are also the little gray men who are particularly invasive and devoid of empathy. They’re the worst because their coldness is very often traumatizing."
You talk about "beings." Are there multiple races of aliens trying to contact us?
After several years of research and interviews, I'm convinced there are. It seems like there are reptile aliens who sometimes provoke terror, other times a kind of love. Then you have the blond humanoids who are very tall and paternal; patients feel good around them. There are also the little gray men, who are particularly invasive and devoid of empathy. They're the worst because their coldness is very often traumatizing. Some patients also tell me of contact with insectoid creatures, whom they perceive as superior entities—the ones in charge.
I see. And what are some of the personal traits of the patients who come to see you?
In the vast majority of cases, I'm seeing people who've experienced childhood abuse, accompanied by deep emotional deprivation. Of course, that's immediately used by skeptics who make a connection between their trauma and the experiences they claim to have had. But in reality, those two things have nothing to do with each other.
Why?
I truly believe that people who've been abused in the past have already been in contact with a certain "otherness." Their past experiences have created an ontological shock. We might compare this to going outside after having been in a dark room. When you've experienced an intrusion like having been abused as a child, I think you might, unfortunately, be more prepared than others to experience this kind of terrifying contact.
And what are they like after their experience?
What's interesting to me is the very particular link that forms between the abductee and these beings. They can feel the next abductions coming in advance. I think it's an initiation of sorts. After such an experience, you feel an overhaul of the self. Your guidance center in life isn't your specific personality any longer, but rather this mystery within you, something that's bigger than yourself. So basically, the person emerges from an individualist vision and acquires a vaster conscience. It's an awakening of the heart.
"I don’t fear for my reputation; I want to understand and help people. Other psychologists are afraid to talk about this to their colleagues. I’m not bothered by anything about it because I approach it with clinical psychology tools."
I imagine it must not be very common to specialize in all of this.
There are people who live through extraordinary things, like having out-of-body experiences. That's just how it is. Same goes for these abductees. I don't fear for my reputation; I want to understand and help people. Other psychologists are afraid to talk about this sort of stuff to their colleagues. But nothing about this bothers me because I approach it scientifically. Sure, I run into plenty of reticence—but I also meet people with open minds. I'm only ever looking to have conversations. Those who don't want to hear about it simply haven't ever seen the evidence.
How about you? Have you ever had an experience with aliens?
I saw a UFO when I was young. But I completely put the memory aside. It came back to me three years ago. Also, my siblings practiced spiritism when we were young—I'd see glasses moving on the table. It was incredible, being in contact with an invisible phenomenon.
And is that where your interest in abductions came from?
I studied psychology in college in the most classical sense. But even then, I was already curious about everything relating to extraordinary experiences. When I read the testimonies of people who’d had near-death experiences, and realized just how much those experiences had changed their lives, I asked myself, 'What’s the point of doing therapy for decades if a single experience can change everything?' And after that, I never shut the door on people's experiences. I went to the INRES (Institute for Research on Extraordinary Experiences) where I met the writer Stéphane Alix [author of "Aliens: An Investigation"]. It was thanks to him that I got so deeply into abductions. I think you have to have gone through all these steps in order to understand what people say they have experienced.
And what do you do when you are certain that a patient hasn't been abducted?
It depends on the case. If we're looking at a pathological liar, he won't allow us to dispute his version of events. I saw a patient a while back who had already managed to indoctrinate UFOlogists—he was really feeding off of that, that feeling of being special. That's typical with pathological liars. On the other hand, some do accept that it wasn't an abduction after all. But on my end, I never tell them that they weren't abducted; I never tell someone they're a liar. It's a discussion, and my job is simply to point the person in the right direction.
Do you think that alien beings come to visit us?
It's my job to calm my patient's suffering when they've been through some thing that could potentially destroy them.

Franse psycholoog behandelt mensen die zijn ontvoerd door aliens. Na jaren van onderzoek komt hij tot deze opzienbarende conclusie
Franse psycholoog behandelt mensen die zijn ontvoerd door aliens. Na jaren van onderzoek komt hij tot deze opzienbarende conclusie
Patiënten van de Franse klinisch psycholoog Nicolas Dumont claimen dat ze zijn ontvoerd door aliens. Sommigen zijn naar eigen zeggen meerdere keren meegenomen.
De verhalen die ze vertellen zijn zo gedetailleerd dat Dumont er vrij zeker van is dat er echt iets is gebeurd.
“Het is geen illusie of een spirituele ervaring,” zei hij in gesprek met VICE France. “Slachtoffers krijgen de beschikking over buitengewone krachten. Ze kunnen opeens genezen of zijn helderziend.”
Echt en intens
Dumont is niet de eerste psycholoog die zich heeft gespecialiseerd in buitenaardse ontvoeringen.
Ook John Edward Mack, een professor van de Harvard-universiteit, bestudeerde dit fenomeen. Hij behandelde bijna 200 gevallen.
“Het gaat hier om gezonde mensen die een ervaring beschrijven die echt en intens is,” zei hij in 2003 in een interview. “Er gebeurt iets met hun lichaam.”
Dumont heeft inmiddels zo’n 100 Franse patiënten gehad die beweren dat ze zijn ontvoerd.
Telepathisch contact
Eén van zijn patiënten, Sonia, wordt al van jongs af aan meegenomen door aliens.
Vaak zeggen mensen dat ze midden in de nacht wakker worden en zich niet kunnen bewegen. Ze zien niet-menselijke wezens om zich heen, in huis of in een ruimteschip.
Sommigen beseften pas wat er was gebeurd nadat ze waren wakker geworden en dachten dat het ochtend was, om er vervolgens achter te komen dat het 48 uur later was.
Vrijwel alle patiënten hebben het over een tafel, zeer specifieke wezens en telepathisch contact, aldus Dumont.
Sporen
Vaak beschikken deze mensen ook over nieuwe krachten. Sommigen zweven uit hun lichaam, terwijl anderen kunnen genezen.
En in de meeste gevallen laten de ervaringen sporen na op het lichaam.
“Na jaren onderzoek en interviews ben ik ervan overtuigd dat meerdere buitenaardse rassen contact met ons proberen te maken,” zei de psycholoog.
“Er zijn reptielachtigen die soms angst opwekken en op andere momenten juist een gevoel van liefde,” legde hij uit.
Inwijding
“Dan heb je nog de blonde mensachtigen die heel lang en ouderlijk zijn; patiënten voelen zich op hun gemak bij hen,” zei hij.
“Er zijn ook kleine grijze mannetjes, die erg vervelend kunnen zijn en die niet empathisch zijn. Hun kilte werkt vaak traumatiserend,” klonk het.
Sommige patiënten vertelden Dumont ook over contact met insectachtigen, die ze zien als superieure entiteiten.
De psycholoog merkte op dat mensen de eerstvolgende ontvoering al van tevoren kunnen aanvoelen. Hij denkt dat het een soort inwijding is.
Ontwaking
“Na zo’n ervaring ben je getransformeerd. Het leven draait niet meer alleen om jouw persoonlijkheid, maar om iets wat groter is dan jijzelf,” zei hij.
“Zie het als een ontwaking van het hart,” vervolgde hij.
Dumont, die als kind eens een UFO heeft gezien, zegt niet te vrezen voor zijn reputatie. “Ik wil mensen begrijpen en helpen. Andere psychologen zijn bang om hierover te praten met hun collega’s.”
Bible scholars believe the legendary Ark of the Covenant may have landed in Africa after it was taken out of Israel.
The Ark is said to be a gold-covered wooden chest containing two stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments – which Moses brought down from Mount Sinai – are written.
It is also said to contain other biblical items such as Aaron’s rod, which is thought to have magical powers.
Since it vanished there have been several theories as to where the Ark is now, including Mount Nebo in Israel, southern Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt and even several locations in Europe.
Christian monks in the African country have long claimed the Ark is being kept under guard at the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Axum.
In a blog post on the organization’s website it said: "As unusual as this may sound, the BASE team has uncovered compelling evidence that the Ark may well have been spirited up the Nile River to an eventual resting place in the remote highlands of ancient Kush — modern-day Ethiopia.”
According to their research, the Ark was taken out of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the reign of Manasseh, where it was first taken to a Jewish colony on Elephantine Island in Egypt.
After that, it is thought it was taken down the Nile to Lake Tana in Ethiopia and in particular Tana Kirkos Island, which is considered to be a holy island only populated by Christian monks.
From there the Ark was moved to Axum, or Aksum, a city in the north of the country.
The BASE Institute claims to have spoken to a man at the church who was “The Guardian of the Ark of the Covenant” and who spent his life inside a fenced-off area surrounding the church and claimed he would not leave the compound until he died and a new guardian took over the role.
The man claimed he was the only person who could look on the Ark because it was a holy object and he and the villagers would protect it with their lives, if necessary.
When an investigator from the Smithsonian approached the guardian in 2007, he was told: "I'm the guardian of the Ark, I have no other name."
While the BASE Institute did not claim the Ark had been found, it did say: “At this juncture, we cannot say with certainty that it is, but neither can we say for certain that it isn’t. What we have concluded is that St. Mary’s of Zion church in Axum, Ethiopia, is the resting place either of an incredible replica of the biblical Ark of the Covenant, or of the actual Ark of the Covenant itself.”
Bijbelonderzoekers ervan overtuigd dat legendarische ark van het verbond verborgen ligt in Afrika. Is dit de plek?
Bijbelonderzoekers ervan overtuigd dat legendarische ark van het verbond verborgen ligt in Afrika. Is dit de plek?
Bijbelonderzoekers denken dat de legendarische ark van het verbond zich in Afrika bevindt. De ark is een draagbare kist, met daarin twee stenen platen die de tien geboden bevatten.
In de ark zou verder de staf van Aäron liggen. Aan deze staf worden magische krachten toegeschreven.
Sinds de verdwijning van de ark circuleren er verschillende theorieën over de plek waar het voorwerp nu verborgen zou liggen.
Overtuigend bewijs
Christelijke monniken uit Ethiopië claimen al lange tijd dat de ark wordt bewaard in de kathedraal van onze heilige Maria van Zion in de Ethiopische stad Aksum.
Het Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration Institute (BASE) besloot op onderzoek uit te gaan.
“Hoe vreemd dit ook mag klinken, het team van BASE heeft overtuigend bewijs gevonden dat het goed mogelijk is dat de ark in het afgelegen hoogland van Ethiopië ligt,” schreef de organisatie in een blogbericht.
Beschermer
Uit onderzoek blijkt dat de ark van de Tempelberg in Jeruzalem is overgebracht naar het eiland Elephantine in Egypte en vervolgens via de Nijl naar het Tanameer in Ethiopië is vervoerd.
Daarna is de ark naar Aksum gebracht, een stad in het noorden van het land, aldus BASE.
Het instituut claimt te hebben gesproken met een man die zich voordeed als de beschermer van de ark van het verbond.
Heilig voorwerp
Hij beweerde dat hij de enige persoon was die de ark mocht aanschouwen omdat het een heilig voorwerp was.
Toen een onderzoeker van het Smithsonian hem in 2007 benaderde, zei hij: “Ik ben de beschermer van de ark, ik heb geen andere naam.”
De overheid bedreigde me en houdt me in de gaten. Man die Area 51 ontmaskerde en aan buitenaardse schepen sleutelde doet verhaal
De overheid bedreigde me en houdt me in de gaten. Man die Area 51 ontmaskerde en aan buitenaardse schepen sleutelde doet verhaal
De man die Area 51 ontmaskerde wordt nog altijd in de gaten gehouden door de Amerikaanse overheid, zo claimt hij zelf.
Bob Lazar beweerde in een tv-interview in 1989 negen geborgen UFO’s te hebben gezien op de geheimzinnige basis en te hebben gewerkt aan een aantal van deze buitenaardse ruimteschepen.
In een nieuwe documentaire wordt dieper ingegaan op het leven en de theorieën van Lazar.
Element 115
Dertig jaar geleden claimde hij dat hij in hangar S-4 bij Area 51 had gewerkt, waar hij UFO’s zag die waren gemaakt van element 115.
“Het aandrijfsysteem is gebaseerd op zwaartekracht. De energiebron is een antimateriereactor. Deze technologie bestaat helemaal niet,” zei Lazar, die indertijd een schuilnaam gebruikte.
Tot enkele jaren geleden heeft de Amerikaanse overheid het bestaan van Area 51 altijd ontkend. Vijf jaar geleden bleek uit vrijgegeven CIA-documenten dat de basis wel degelijk bestaat.
Lazar omschreef deze cover-up als ‘een misdaad tegen de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap’.
Mond te snoeren
Hij zei later dat zijn vrouw, zijn familie en hijzelf werden bedreigd door de overheid in een poging hem de mond te snoeren.
In de documentaire zegt Lazar, die nu met zijn vrouw Joy in Michigan woont, spijt te hebben dat hij zijn mond heeft opengedaan over Area 51.
Hij liet weten dat de FBI ooit een inval heeft gedaan in zijn laboratorium. “Ik heb altijd het gevoel dat ik in de gaten wordt gehouden,” zei hij.
De klokkenluider zegt zich vandaag de dag niet meer bezig te houden met verhalen over aliens en ruimteschepen.
Psychologische spelletjes
“Ik ben niet geïnteresseerd in onderzoek naar leven buiten de aarde,” zei hij. “Ik ben vooral geïnteresseerd in de ongelooflijk geavanceerde technologie. Ik weet dat we deze technologie, die de wereld kan veranderen, zelf ook kunnen ontwikkelen.”
De journalist die hem in 1989 interviewde, George Knapp, zei dat er geregeld is ingebroken in Lazars auto, dat er psychologische spelletjes met hem werden gespeeld en dat hij werd bedreigd.
“Lazar en anderen werden gevolgd en het lijkt er sterk op dat iemand hem bang wilde maken zodat hij zijn mond zou houden, of misschien probeerden ze hem gek te maken,” zei Knapp.
“Ik was er vaak bij en heb hen met mijn eigen ogen gezien,” klonk het.
As a follow-on to my previous article, “Bob Lazar, Area 51, UFOs and Russians,” I thought I would expand on why it would be so important for U.S. authorities to keep a careful watch on any potential Russian penetrations of Area 51 in the 1970s and 1980s. And also to mislead the Russians as to what was going on at the legendary base. When it comes to the matter of Area 51 and the 1970s, there is one important issue that cannot be ignored. And it should not be ignored. It was the early development of what has become known as “Stealth” technology for aircraft. It was in 1988 that both the LockheedF-117 Nighthawkstealth fighter and the Northrop GrummanB-2Spiritwere unveiled for one and all to see. The completely black, triangular-shaped aircraft caught the world’s attention, primarily because of their strange, angular shapes. It’s intriguing to note that in 1982 a wave of encounters with what became known as “Flying Triangles” began over portions of New York State, specifically in Hudson Valley.
In their 1988 book, Night Siege, authors Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Philip J. Imbrogno and Bob Pratt wrote: “Can 7,000 eyewitnesses be wrong? They were there to witness the huge, hovering object in the sky, the flashing lights, the eerie silence. They are ordinary people from all walks of life: stay-at-home moms, kids, business people, engineers. They tell their stories here, and they all agree on one thing: they saw the same massive object cruising over their backyards. And it was like nothing they had seen before…”
At the time when the Hudson Valley encounters were at their peak, it was reasonably assumed by UFO researchers just about here, there and everywhere that aliens had arrived and were scoping out the area to a massive degree. When, however, the Stealth planes were unleashed in 1988 – planes that looked eerily like the Hudson Valley “UFOs,” more than a few of those same ufologists came to wonder if what was seen over Hudson Valley was actually a top secret variation on the Stealth Fighter and the Stealth Bomber. Regardless of whether or not the Hudson Valley UFOs originated in the United States, or on a world far, far away, one of the most intriguing revelations that surfaced when the Stealth planes were revealed was the startling fact that they had been secretly flying not just for a few years, but since the 1970s – at Area 51. And, the secret (the top secret) had been skillfully contained for more than a decade.
If there is one thing that just about any and all military agencies want, it’s for their aircraft to be completely invulnerable. Well, while that’s a tall order, steps were taken in the early 1970s to create an aircraft that could not be detected on radar. It would, then, be the ultimate predator: quietly and carefully approaching its completely oblivious target. That is, until it was all too late. Lockheed Martin, the company which was secretly contracted to come up with a stealth-driven fighter, state that a pair of engineers, Dick Sherrer and Denys Overholser, “developed a computer program based on obscure German and Russian theories, which postulated that radar beams could be reflected by a series of carefully angled triangular panels,” which is precisely why both the B-2 and the F-117 look so odd. But, cool, too.
The most important development came in 1976. That was the year in which a program designated “Have Blue” was established as, to quote Lockheed Martin, “the stealth demonstrator that would lead to the F-117A Nighthawk.” Built out of aluminum and not much else, the aircraft was typified by the angular shape and futuristic-look. Although the Nighthawkremained unknown to virtually everyone until 1988, it was first test-flown on June 8, 1981, just one year before the Hudson Valley “UFOs” were first seen. Notably, the Nighthawk – while in test stage – was flown exclusively at night. And, while it seems unlikely that the F-117A was the culprit at Hudson Valley, perhaps a far more advanced stealth plane was.
One of the most notable of all the missions that the Nighthawkstook part in revolved around the invasion of Iraq in January of 1991. The radar-systems of the Iraqi military were woefully inadequate and, as a consequence, they flattened close to forty targets in no time at all; something which helped to bring the conflict to a close in a little more than forty days. Today, the Nighthawk is no more. It has been mothballed. But, how many other stealth aircraft – of highly advanced forms and technologies – remain hidden from prying eyes is anyone’s guess. Now, let’s take a look at the Stealth Bomber: the Spirit.
The brainchild of Northrop Grumman, the B-2 stealth bomber is, to quote the team that brought it to fruition, “a key component of the nation’s long range strike arsenal, and one of the most survivable aircraft in the world. Its unique capabilities, including its stealth characteristics, allow it to penetrate the most sophisticated enemy defenses and hold at risk high value, heavily defended targets.” It has played major roles in numerous conflicts, including Operation Iraqi Freedom in Afghanistan, in Kosovo, and in Libya. Not only that, the Spirit is capable of flying for 6,000 miles without refueling and can soar through the skies for 10,000 miles when refueled just once. And, it is armed with nuclear weapons. The B-2, then, is a decidedly formidable craft. Twenty-one such aircraft were built and deployed, of which only one came to grief, while taking to the skies from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam in February 2008. Just like the Stealth Fighter, early versions and incarnations of the Spirit were secretly flow from Area 51.
It goes without saying that hiding (from the Russians) the existence of early Stealth planes out at Area 51 would have been paramount to those working on the highly-classified projects. And, to the extent that they may even have used tales of UFOs to act as convenient covers for what was really afoot – all of which could have led to additional operations, such as the one involving Bob Lazar in the late eighties.
Duke Universityin North Carolina is known for its excellent academic programs, high number of Rhodes Scholar graduates and outstanding basketball teams. All of that pales in comparison to the recent announcement that Duke will now offer a course in UFOs taught by a religious studies professor who is also a well-known UFO researcher. Is that enough to convince your parents not to cut off your tuition money when they find out you’ve changed majors to UFOlogy?

“It’s not the first time I’ve taught a course on UFOs. In the spring semester of 1996, when I was a professor in UNC-Chapel Hill’s Department of Religious Studies, I gave a seminar called “Special Topics in Mysticism: Heavenly Ascensions and UFO Abductions.” One of my colleagues indulgently labeled it “a funny course.” He didn’t understand. Whatever UFOs are, they aren’t funny.”
David J. Halperin, Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, offers this bit of his own history on his website as an introduction and an aid for students wondering of a course entitled “UFOs – Encounter, Mystery, Myth” is a good elective. Professor Halperin is no slouch in either of his fields. After receiving his Ph.D. from Berkeley he taught Judaic studies in UNC’s Department of Religious Studies and had a special interest in religious traditions of heavenly ascensions and otherworldly journeys, resulting in five books on Jewish mysticism and messianism. He’s also the author of a novel, “Journal of a UFO Investigator,” and has a non-fiction book, “Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO,” coming out in 2020.
Halperin’s 1996 course covered the abduction story of Barney and Betty Hill, a class assignment to read and discuss Whitley Strieber’s Communion, and student research and presentations on, among other topics, the “X-Files” TV series, alien contact and different aspects of the UFOs’ impact on African-American culture. Halperin retired in 2000 and never taught the UFO course again … until now. Why resurrect it?
“UFOs are still with us, however, enjoying a surprising new respectability in the world that’s emerged from the 2016 Presidential election.”
He’s referring to when candidate Hillary Clinton said she would reopen the real X-files if she were elected president. Halperin’s new course will update his old one, then cover the alleged 1966 UFO landing at Westall High School in Melbourne, Australia; the “Men in Black”; the experience of alien abduction’ and a look at what happened in 1947 near Roswell, New Mexico. He’ll finish with more on what has happened since the 2016 election and conclude by discussing the same question about UFOs he attempted to answer in 1996: “What do they mean?”
What DOES it mean? It means one of the top universities in the country is offering a course in UFO studies, thus providing a little more legitimacy to a subject begging for it. “UFOs – Encounter, Mystery, Myth” will be offered through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Duke from January 7 to March 25, 2019.

Geoscientists exploring the remote Canadian wilderness have discovered a massive cave in British Columbia’s Wells Gray Provincial Park which may have never been explored by humans. In a nod to The Return of the Jedi, the cave has been nicknamed the “Sarlacc Pit” due to its gaping hole-like appearance – although us real fans know that the actual name was the “Pit of Carkoon” and that the Sarlacc was the ancient carnivorous beast inside the pit, not the name of the pit itself. Filthy casuals.
Kinda like calling this guy “Frankenstein.”
The cave in British Columbia was spotted by helicopter crews conducting a caribou count. It’s believed that the entrance has been covered in snow up until the last few decades, hence why it hasn’t yet been documented by either indigenous First Nations peoples or the Canadian Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. While we’d all like it to be named after the Sarlacc, consultations are underway with First Nations representatives to determine if they would like to name it.
The cave has not yet been given an official name or explored, and researchers aren’t exactly sure how it avoided detection for all of these years. “My immediate reaction was that there can’t be a cave there, it’s impossible,” said scientist Catherine Hickson. “It is huge. It is enormous. When you first see it, you just gasp because it’s just this huge hole in the ground.” The entrance measures 100 meters by 60 meters – the same size as a football field – and opens onto a shaft extending 100 meters underground. Check out Canadian Geographic‘s coverage for some breathtaking photos of the massive, unexplored cave.
Just what exactly may lie at the bottom of this cave remains unknown, as are its exact dimensions; once the cave is explored, it very well could become Canada’s largest cave. For now, scientists are keeping the location of the cave a secret until more research can be done and in order to protect it from intrepid spelunkers seeking to find a new definition of pain and suffering as they are slowly digested over a thousand years.
Scientists from the LIGO and Virgo scientific collaborations have released data regarding a black hole collision detected further than five billion light years from Earth, which resulted in both a larger black hole and ripples through space-time. Laser detectors in the United States and Italy detected the collision on July 29, 2017, but data has finally been checked and confirmed by the various institutions involved since that initial collection through a recent re-analysis of all the collected data by LIGO and Virgo from 2015, 2016 and 2017.
The collision took place between a black hole more than 50 times the mhttps://cdn.zmescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tumblr_inline_o2fi9hdAQ21srob4n_500.gifass of the Earth’s sun and another at least 34 times the mass of the sun. This collision created a new black hole more than 80 times the mass of the sun. After that reanalysis, this event is now the 11th event recorded resulting in the release of gravitational waves. Most of the other 10 were also collisions between black holes, but one was a collision of neutron stars.
But what are gravitational waves? They were predicted by Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, but instrumentation available to properly measure them was decades away from construction when he first considered them. They are best described as ripples or waves in the very fabric of space-time created by massive astronomical chaos events – such as black holes colliding.
They are measured due to the fact the waves move at the speed of light due to accelerating masses. The LIGO and Virgo sites fire lasers into long tunnels shaped like the letter L. These waves traveling through space-time reach the lasers and disrupt the light. Such measurements can help scientists better understand the dramatic nature of neutron stars, which release strange radiation when they are destroyed. Some of that radiation produces rare elements like gold.
When the laser labs in the United States began their research in September 2015, they almost instantly discovered a black hole merger on September 14 of that same year. That discovery earned the team a Nobel Prize. Before the celebration of that initial discovery could be had, however, the team became bombarded with similar signals alerting them to more collisions and more gravitational waves through space-time.
As of this moment, though, the labs are not detecting anything. During data reanalysis, the labs are undergoing upgrades. They should be back running by spring of 2019. According to a report by the BBC, the labs will be able to see twice the distance, which could result in as much as eight times the rate of previous detection – meaning gravitational wave detection could become a daily occurrence.
Green Triangle UFO Seen Taking Off From Back Yard During Lightning Storm In Australia, Dec 2018, 2 Videos, UFO Sighting News.
Green Triangle UFO Seen Taking Off From Back Yard During Lightning Storm In Australia,Dec 2018, 2 Videos, UFO Sighting News.
The above UFO was seen just seconds after it rose up from the ground at 3:03 into the longer video. Must put into slow motion or you will miss it.
Date of sighting: December 2018 Location of sighting: Kalgoorlie, Australia At 3.03 into the 5 minute video if you put it into slow motion .25 in settings, you will notice the UFO rise up from the ground. It had landed in someones yard and was causing the lightning storm as UFOs often do. However the lightning strike unexpectedly hit near the UFO causing a static charge around it for a few minutes. The UFO rising can only be seen in slow motion, I almost didn't catch it in normal speed, but was lucky to see it. I made a gif, which is a moving image below for you to better see it rise from the ground. Clearly the UFOs technology was causing the storm by accident or causing it on purpose to make people go into their home so they will not see the UFO land or taking off. Did you notice the four landing legs were down? Still visible in most screenshots of the event. Now either it was taking off from the ground, or...it was shooting though a temporary tunnel in the ground that came from an underground alien base 4-6km below the surface. The way this UFO shot up and stopped suddenly...makes me think it was traveling fast through an opening and in a hurry, because would you want to get caught that deep below the ground when the tunnel closes up again? Yeah...me neither, so hauling butt thought just makes sense. Scientists have no name for any natural event that causes such a phenomenon to happen. What we are seeing is a triangle UFO rising up from the ground with a static charge around it due to the lightning strikes. Notice its incredible speed when rising...its enough to fool a person into thinking it came down from the sky, when it really rose up from the ground leaving. They are not gods, they are not angels or demons, they are just flesh and blood intelligent creatures that make mistakes and get seen a lot more than most people would think. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
This event took place on December 3, 2018 and was filmed by an Australian resident Leigh Stevens. The footage has left many people wondering what this could be with many speculations ranging from project blue beam, a mothership materialising, a portal opening and St. Elmo's Fire but there is one thing we can all agree on is that this footage is damn impressive. Many thanks to Leigh Stevens for allowing me the use of his footage and to view the full & unedited.
NASA Foto Toont het wrak van een 'vliegende schotel', maar het echte verhaal is nog verbazingwekkender
NASA Foto Toont het wrak van een 'vliegende schotel', maar het echte verhaal is nog verbazingwekkender
Elke specimen, datde sterren wilt bereiken, heeft zeker zijn vingertoppen al geschroeid. Waarschijnlijk meer dan eens.
Een van de laatste berichten van NASA op de Astronomy Picture of the website Day is een iconische herinnering van de ongelukken in onze spacefaring geschiedenis.
“Een vliegende schotel maakte vanuit de ruimte een noodlanding in de woestijn van Utah na met radar gevolgd te zijn en achtervolgd door helikopters,” zegt de foto beschrijving, hoewel NASA niet zinspeelde op een buitenaards bezoek hier.
De sloeg-up gerecht, half begraven in de woestijn zand, was eigenlijk de terugkeer van de capsule van het Genesis ruimtevaartuig. En het was niet de bedoeling om naar beneden tekomen in zo'n brutale manier.
Gelanceerd op 8 augustus 2001 was de Genesis missie vol ambitieuze inspanningen van het ruimte agentschap om een ruimtevaartuig te sturen in zonnewindnaar een ster, het verzamelen van monsters daar en het terugbrengen ervan naar de aarde.
Door het verzamelen van gegevens over de samenstelling van de geladen deeltjes streamen vanaf corona van de zon, hoopten de onderzoekers om de samenstelling van de ster precies te bepalen, en meer informatie over de elementen die in de buurt waren toen de planeten van het Zonnestelsel werden gevormd.
Om ons de zonnewind monsters terug te brengen, werd het Genesis vaartuig uitgerust met een sample return capsule met een bus van zonnewind materialen. Deze monster waren verzameld toen het vaartuig twee jaarlang in een baan om Lagrange punt 1 - een van de plekken in de ruimte waar de zwaartekracht van de aarde en de zon zijn precies in evenwicht - reisde.
Het vaartuig gevangen zonnewind door vouwen uit een reeks collector arrays, elk beladen met een hoge zuiverheidsgraad materialen als aluminium, saffier, silicium en zelfs goud.
“De materialen die we hebben gebruikt in de Genesis collectorvelden waren fysiek sterk genoeg om gelanceerd te worden zonder te breken te zijn; behouden terwijl het monster tijdens het verzamelen door de zon verwarmd; en zuiver genoeg dat we de zonnewind elementen na de Aarde-return kon analyseren,” verklaarde project wetenschapper Amy Jurewicz op 3 september 2004.
Vijf dagen later stortte de monster capsule en zijn kostbare stalen neer in de grond in Utah, met een geschatte snelheid van 310 km / h (193 mph).
Wat moest gebeuren was nogal anders - 127 seconden na het opnieuw binnenkomen van de aardse atmosfeer, zou een mortier aan boord van de capsule ontploffen en zo een voorlopige parachute voor het vertragen en het stabiliseren van de afdaling vrijgeven.
Dan, een van de belangrijkste parachute op te blazen en zo een zachte afdaling in de Utah Test en Training Range van de capsule optimaliseren .
In de crash foto kan u helicopters zien - ze zweven in de buurt, klaar om de capsule te onderscheppen en rechtstreeks naar een cleanroom te brengen om verontreiniging van de monsters te voorkomen.
Geen van deze parachutes is ingezet geraakt
Na een grondig onderzoek, werd de fout teruggevoerd naar een set sensoren, nauwelijks de grootte van de metallische uiteinde van een potlood. Ze waren naar achteren geplaatst.
Deze kleine apparaten moesten de toenemende G-krachten op sporen als de capsule naar de grond daalde, en leiden tot het openen van de parachutes.
Zoals u zich kunt voorstellen, de crash leidde tot ernstige schade, het breken van een aantal van de arrays en besmetting van de kostbare lading binnenin.
Zodra de capsule met de monsters werd opgehaald van de plaats waar ze crashte, werd het projectteam ingesteld op het punt om te controleren of er nog iets kon terug gevonden worden, dat nog bestudeerd kan worden.
Gelukkig werd de Genesis missie niet volledig geruïneerd, zelfs na zo'n dramatische aankomst van de monster-capsule. Een deel van de robuuste materialen van de collector overleefde de crash, en de onderzoekers zijn erin geslaagd om de oppervlakken schoon te maken zonder het zonne-materiaal dat is ingebed te verontreinigen...
Na drie jaar werden een reeks documenten gepubliceerd om de Genesis bevindingen te openbaren. Dankzij deze gewaagde missie, hebben we ongekende details over de samenstelling van de Zon en de elementaire verschillen tussen onze ster en de binnenste planeten van het zonnestelsel geleerd.
“The Sun herbergt meer dan 99 procent van het materiaal dat op dit moment in ons zonnestelsel aanwezig is, dus was heteen goed idee om deze missie te doen en de samenstelling beter te leren kennen,” verklaarde Genesis hoofdonderzoeker Don Burnett van California Institute of Technology zei in 2011.
“Hoewel het een grotere uitdaging was dan verwacht, hebben we een aantal belangrijke vragen beantwoord, en net als alle succesvolle missies,nog veel meergegenereerd”
NASA Shows The Wreck of a ‘Flying Saucer’, But The Real Story Is Even More Amazing
NASA Shows The Wreck of a ‘Flying Saucer’, But The Real Story Is Even More Amazing
Any species reaching for the stars is bound to have its fingertips singed. Probably more than once.
One of NASA’s latest posts on the Astronomy Picture of the Day website is an iconic reminder of the mishaps in our spacefaring history.
“A flying saucer from outer space crash-landed in the Utah desert after being tracked by radar and chased by helicopters,” states the photo description, although NASA is not hinting at an alien visit here.
The banged-up dish, half-buried in the desert sand, was actually the return capsule of the Genesis spacecraft. And it wasn’t supposed to touch down in such a brutal way.
Launched on 8 August 2001, the Genesis mission was the space agency’s ambitious effort to send a spacecraft into our home star’s solar wind, gather samples, and return them to Earth.
By gathering data on the composition of the charged particles streaming from the Sun’s corona, researchers hoped to precisely determine the composition of the star, and learn more about the elements that were around when the Solar System’s planets were formed.
To bring us solar wind samples, the Genesis craft was equipped with a sample return capsule holding a canister of solar wind materials, gathered when the craft spent two years orbiting Lagrange point 1 – one of the spots in space where the gravity from Earth and Sun are precisely balanced.
The craft captured the solar wind by folding out a series of collector arrays, each loaded with high-purity materials such as aluminium, sapphire, silicon, and even gold.
“The materials we used in the Genesis collector arrays had to be physically strong enough to be launched without breaking; retain the sample while being heated by the Sun during collection; and be pure enough that we could analyse the solar wind elements after Earth-return,” project scientist Amy Jurewicz explained on 3 September 2004.
Five days later, that sample capsule and its precious arrays smashed into the ground in Utah, at an estimated speed of 310 km/h (193 mph).
What was supposed to happen was rather different – 127 seconds after re-entering the atmosphere, a mortar aboard the capsule would blow, releasing a preliminary parachute for slowing and stabilising the descent.
Then, a main parachute was to inflate, providing the capsule with a gentle descent into the Utah Test and Training Range.
In the crash photo, you can see helicopters – they were hovering nearby, ready to snag the capsule mid-air and ferry it directly to a cleanroom to avoid contamination of the samples.
Neither of those parachutes deployed.
After a thorough investigation, the error was traced back to a set of sensors, barely the size of the metallic end of a pencil. They had been installed backwards.
These tiny devices were supposed to detect the increasing g-forces as the capsule plummeted towards the ground, and trigger the deployment of the parachutes.
As you can imagine, the crash led to severe damage, breaking several of the arrays and contaminating the precious cargo within.
Once the sample capsule was retrieved from the heart-sinking site of its demise, the project team set about to retrieve anything that could still be recovered and studied.
Thankfully, the Genesis mission wasn’t completely ruined, even after such a dramatic arrival of the sample capsule. Some of the sturdy collector materials survived, and researchers managed to clean the surfaces without disturbing the solar material embedded within.
Within three years, a series of papers were published on the Genesis findings. Thanks to the daring mission, we learned unprecedented details about the composition of the Sun and the elemental differences between our star and the inner planets of the Solar System.
“The Sun houses more than 99 percent of the material currently in our Solar System, so it’s a good idea to get to know it better,” Genesis principal investigator Don Burnett from California Institute of Technology said in 2011.
“While it was more challenging than expected, we have answered some important questions, and like all successful missions, generated plenty more.”

Oumuamua Is Not Alone: Four More Interstellar Visitors Spotted In Our Solar System
Oumuamua Is Not Alone: Four More Interstellar Visitors Spotted In Our Solar System
Researchers Discover More Celestial Visitors to Our Solar System.
Astronomers from Harvard have determined that several celestial objects they have been tracking could have possibly come from beyond this solar system. The four asteroid-like masses are located between Jupiter, and the Sun, which the astronomers have determined is a section of the solar system that potentially catches and traps objects due to its gravitational pull.
Harvard Professor Abraham Loeb and his student Amir Siraj, wrote a paper together detailing this theory and speculating that there could be dozens or hundreds of space objects from outside this system trapped in this section. The paper points to four, in particular, named 2011 SP25, 2017 RR2, 2017 SV13, and 2018 TL6. These objects do come within a noteworthy distance of Earth and have been put forth as candidates for future NASA missions, without which it will be at least 20 years before one of them comes close enough to Earth. The four objects are not as yet classified as asteroids or comet, another detail a mission would solve.
This discovery comes in the wake of the first known interstellar traveler spotted last year spinning through our solar system. Oumuamua has been classified as an asteroid but it's confusing characteristics, some being more in line with a comet, mean that the jury is still out on this. Oumuamua, which is Hawaiian for “scout”, was detected by the University of Hawaii in October 2017 and its odd properties including the reddish color, ultra reflectiveness, and cigar-shape have led some to speculate that it may be artificial. The idea that the four interstellar visitors in Siraj and Loeb’s paper could also be artificial was addressed by Siraj who claimed that there is no current evidence to back this. Referring to Oumuamua, Professor Loeb states that some of the data collected so far on the object could lend support to the idea that it may have been deliberately formed.
Why Harvard Scientists Think This Object Is An Alien Spacecraft
While a picture painted on the wall of a cave appears to show a hunter collapsing in front of a disemboweled beast over 15,000 years ago, it may also indicate a more astronomical meaning. The ancient cave art, which was found at Lascaux (near Montignac) in France, were positioned in such a way that they may have been signs of the zodiac and was telling the story of a cataclysmic event.
A group of teenagers discovered the cave paintings in the 1940s and experts have been trying to understand the meaning of the art ever since. While it’s unclear exactly when the 600 images were created, it is believed that they are up to 17,000 years old.
Cave art found at Lascaux
The paintings found at Lascaux were being compared to zoomorphic artworks that were discovered at Neolithic sites from Göbekli Tepe and Çatalhöyük in Turkey. The research was conducted by experts from the Universities of Edinburgh and Kent. They indicated that instead of lions, bulls, and scorpions portraying animals that are seen on Earth, they could have been drawn to represent constellations in the sky.
Chemical engineer Martin Sweatman, who was one of the study’s authors, claimed “Early cave art shows that people had advanced knowledge of the night sky within the last Ice Age.” If this is indeed factual, that would mean that the cave art found at Lascaux was created to record a significant event that occurred during the annual Taurid meteor shower approximately 17,000 years ago.
At first glance, it looks as though the painting was of a man collapsing in front of a disemboweled animal while a bird watches and a rhinoceros looking away. There was also a horse head that was drawn on another part of the wall. And there were geometric shapes, odd lines, and dots drawn throughout the pictures. But after further analysis, they could very well have indicated constellations in the sky.
The disemboweled bison-like animal, called an auroch, could represent the Capricorn constellation during the summer equinox, while the bird could indicate Libra during the spring equinox. While it’s unclear what the other animals are symbolizing, they could be representing Leo and Taurus during other equinoxes. These paintings could indicate that around 15,150 BCE, a cataclysmic event could have affected humans. In fact, the climate started to shift at around 15,300 BCE according to records that were taken from Greenland’s ice cores.
Last year, the stone carvings that were discovered at Göbekli Tepe were examined and it is believed that they were indicating a comet that struck Earth that was more than likely responsible for a brief return to the Ice Age climate approximately 13,000 years ago.
Another example of potential art work hinting at an astronomical event is a 40,000-year-old carving of an upright lion that was discovered in the Hohlenstein cave located in Germany. Sweatman explained, “These findings support a theory of multiple comet impacts over the course of human development, and will probably revolutionize how prehistoric populations are seen.”

Grey Aliens Show UFO Abductee Sherry Wilde the Future of Planet Earth
Sherry Wilde tell some of her fascinating story remembering her encounters with extraterrestrial beings from another race and world. In this lecture she shares highlights and intimate details of that journey and talks about the differences between being an abductee and a volunteer.
When Sherry was 17 years old, she had an incident of missing time. She always wondered what had happened, but put it in the back of her mind for many years. She finally had a hypnotic regression, where Sherry realized that she had been taken aboard spacecraft many times from a young age. Through her regressions, Sherry came to understanding that she came to Earth at this time be a volunteer, to be of assistance, and to transmute negative energy.
The case of mysterious lights in the sky above Kelowna has been solved.
Carol McGowan, Kelowna Golf and Country Club Food and Beverage Manager called Castanet this morning after they saw our story.
"There was a Coldwell Banker Christmas party at Kelowna Golf and Country club Friday night with a "Great Gatsby" theme and we had the lights going all night," says McGowan.
Nico Boesten, the manager with New Horizon Productions in Kelowna was responsible for setting up the lights. "We call them the Batman or Hollywood lights. We just got them and we've been using them a lot at different galas and rock concerts and the like."
Boesten tells Castanet, "I love that somebody called in, this is crazy!"
ORIGINAL 6:58 a.m.
A faithful Castanet reader has sent us a video of what he describes as strange lights in the sky above Kelowna.
Brett Wade says he saw the lights on Friday night when he stepped outside while at work.
"First of all, I'm not really one of those UFO guys, I don't wear aluminum hats or anything," Wade says.
Wade says he walked out of work and looked up to see what he describes a formation of two lights spiraling around each other in a consistent pattern. "I thought at first it must be spotlights because I've seen that before but I couldn't see a lights source below so I ruled that out."
The first thing he did after recording the strange sight was to check Castanet to see if there were any other reports of the strange phenomenon. "I didn't see anything, the next day still nothing, so I thought I'd send this video to you guys to see if there is an explanation."
Wade says he and his co-worker watched the lights for a total of ten minutes before moving on and that the lights seemed to be drifting in a northwest direction.
"We were both wanting to write this off as nothing," Wade says and at this point, it remains an Okanagan mystery.
A planetary alignment this week will see seismic unrest around the globe and potentially exacerbating an extremely powerful earthquake. The Earth, moon, Venus and Uranus will align in pour solar system in the coming days which could cause worldwide destruction. The gravitational pull of the celestial bodies either side of our planet could pull on Earth’s tectonic plates, according to the prediction.
As the plates are tugged apart, they could cause earthquakes around the globe.
This is according to ‘New-age earthquake forecasting’ website Ditrianum, run by researcher Frank Hoogerbeets, who said an earthquake as strong as a magnitude eight could hit.
Writing on his website, Mr Hoogerbeets said: “Seismic unrest is expected in the coming days, possibly peaking high 6 to 7 magnitude.
“Throughout the week doesn't look much better. Especially from the 7th to the 10th may be highly critical with the potential of a magnitude 8+ earthquake.”
Major earthquake WARNING: ‘Totally DESTRUCTIVE’ tremor predicted by December 10
(Image: GETTY)
A magnitude eight quake would be truly catastrophic.
It is categorised as a “great earthquake” and according to Michigan Tech, it “can totally destroy communities near the epicentre.”
Mr Hoogerbeets made the prediction using his Solar System Geometry Index (SSGI) which “is the computation of a dataset for a specific time-frame of values given to specific geometric positions of the planets, the Moon and the Sun”.
He added: “After three years of observations, it became clear that some planetary geometry in the Solar System clearly tends to cause a seismic increase, while other geometry does not.”
Mr Hoogerbeets believes earthquakes are caused by the alignment of planets
(Image: GETTY)
But experts have dismissed Mr Hoogerbeets’ claims, saying that there is no way earthquakes can be predicted.
John Bellini, a geophysicist at the US Geological Survey (USGS) has said: “We can't predict or forecast earthquakes.
"Sometimes before a large earthquake you'll have a foreshock or two, but we don't know they're foreshocks until the big one happens.”
