What Has Scientists Gripped in Fear? Is it Too Late to Control Their ‘Demonic Creation’?
What Has Scientists Gripped in Fear? Is it Too Late to Control Their ‘Demonic Creation’?
Should we be worried about the creation of artificial intelligence? For me, this is a simple question with an even simpler, three letter answer: yes. Many people, including the late physicist Stephen Hawking, have raised concerns that the rise of powerful AI systems could spell the end for humanity.
In the video below, I delve into a few reason technology should concern us all. Especially when scientists entertain the idea of giving machines their own ‘reasonings skills’ and the ability to deny a direct order from humans.
The polar vortex could sweep across the east coast this winter, bringing with it harsh conditions, climate scientists have warned.
Climate researchers are sounding the alarm on a polar vortex that’s predicted to sweep through the U.S.’ east coast later this month and inflict one of the harshest winters in years, The Washington Post reported.
Judah Cohen, a researcher from Atmospheric and Environmental Research, told the outlet his climate models indicate a vortex is likely to hit in late December or early January. A polar vortex disruption occurs when the stratosphere – which is above the troposphere where weather occurs – suddenly warms, causing winds to decrease or change direction. The vortex will then be displaced and split apart, spilling cold air into the mid-latitudes.
“Confidence is growing in a significant PolarVortex disruption in the coming weeks. This could be the single most important determinant of the weather this winter across the Northern Hemisphere,” Cohen wrote on his blog and Twitter feed last week.
Last year a vortex that originated in Eurasia swept eastern North America, causing windstorms that lasted weeks.
“We were still feeling the impacts into the end of April,” Cohen said.

Still, models are notoriously unreliable. American models and European models, for instance, yield different conclusions on when exactly a disruption will occur.
Amy Butler, a scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, tweeted: “[N]ot all other models on board yet so still reason to be cautious.”

Bittere kou in aantocht? Wetenschappers waarschuwen voor aanstaande poolwervel
Bittere kou in aantocht? Wetenschappers waarschuwen voor aanstaande poolwervel
Het kan wel eens bar koud worden. Wetenschappers waarschuwen dat een zogenoemde poolwervel later deze maand de oostkust van de Verenigde Staten zal bereiken en daar gaat zorgen voor één van de strengste winters in jaren, schrijft de Washington Post.
Judah Cohen, een onderzoeker van Atmospheric and Environmental Research, zei tegen de krant dat uit zijn klimaatmodellen blijkt dat de poolwervel eind december of begin januari aankomt.
Een poolwervel is een verschijnsel hoog in de atmosfeer dat invloed heeft op het weer aan het oppervlak.
Belangrijkste bepalende factor
Een poolwervel was ook de oorzaak van de koudegolf van 2013-2014 in Noord-Amerika.
Door een plotse opwarming van de stratosfeer verzwakte de poolwervel snel en zakte deze uit over het continent.
Steeds meer aanwijzingen voor een aanzienlijke verstoring van de poolwervel in de komende weken. Dit zou wel eens de belangrijkste bepalende factor kunnen zijn voor het weer deze winter op het noordelijk halfrond, schreef Cohen afgelopen week op zijn blog en op Twitter.

A new body discovered in the Solar System has beengiven the nickname “Farout” by the international team of astronomers who discovered it. The name seems to be fitting – as it is currently the most-distant body known in the Solar System at this time. It is around 100 times farther from the Sun than the Earth is. In fact, it is around 120 astronomical units (AU) away from the Sun. For reference, each AU is a measurement of the Earth’s distance from the Sun. Fallen-from-grace former planet Pluto – once considered the farthest planet from the Sun (when its orbit did not go inside Neptune’s) – is a mere 34 AU from the sun.
The previous holder of the farthest-known object in the Solar System was Eris at 96 AU. Farout was discovered as part of the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center’s search for the mysterious Planet X, or as it is more appropriately known with the (historically) recent demotion of Pluto from ninth planet to dwarf planet, Planet Nine.
Previous discoveries made by the team include a distant Solar System object discovered around Halloween in 2015, nicknamed The Goblin to keep with the holiday spirit. The Goblin is around 80 AU and has a strange orbit, which gives some credence to a theory many astronomers hold that there is a yet-to-be-discovered ninth planet whose gravity is affecting it.
This team first proposed the theory of a ninth planet (formerly theorized to be Planet X) in 2014 when they discovered another distant object (nicknamed Biden) around 84 AU. While these objects are far enough not to be directly influenced by the gravity of gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, they are still having their orbits influenced by what seems to be an object of immense gravity. It is too soon to state whether or not Farout, or 2018 VG18 as it is scientifically known, is influenced by the same mysterious pull.
Farout may be a dwarf object with a pinkish hue and icy consistency, similar to the former planet Pluto seen here
A scientist working on the discovery stated Farout is not only more distant, but also slower than other similar objects found in that area of space. However, it was found in a similar location and, while calculating its orbit may take a few years, scientists are expecting it to have similar orbital anomalies to its (somewhat close-by) neighbors. It is around 500km in diameter and is theorized to be spherical like other dwarf planets. It is assumed to have a pinkish hue like other ice-rich objects.
This discovery, coupled with the other discoveries leading back to Biden, or 2012 VP113, have given astronomers a more detailed look at the once vague and mysterious Oort Cloud thought to surround the Solar System. These discoveries are illustrating the cloud as full of rocky and icy orbs. If the gravitational influence on the orbits are proven to be from a yet-unknown ninth planet, however, that planet is most likely 10 times the size of the Earth – and potentially just as rocky. But, it is most likely not Nbiru.
It seems like there is no end to the videos of strange lights and objects reported in clips of live feeds from the International Space Station. All the usual sensational YouTube channels (you know the ones) are full of videos trying to make much ado about lens flares, small pieces of orbital debris, or video artifacts and glitches all in the name of The Truth is Out There. I usually barely even watch a few seconds of them before I move on. This one, though, feels somehow different. This week, a live stream from the ISS caught a mysterious, seemingly triangular object float by a SpaceX Dragon capsule as it arrived at the space station. Was this the elusive TR-3B caught on camera, or did something stranger make a Christmas cameo?
The Dragon capsule was there to deliver candied yams, green bean casserole and Christmas cookies to the astronauts. Plus the usual nerd stuff, of course.
As always, it’s difficult to tell. The object in the video is blurry as all unidentified objects in videos are, so it’s ultimately unclear what was captured on the live stream. However, it’s undeniable that the video is eerie. In the footage, the SpaceX Dragon capsule floats serenely against a total black backdrop before something dark floats quickly in and out of the frame behind the craft. The object is barely discernible in the darkness, but something is clearly there. Since the object is behind the capsule, it’s impossible to judge its size, but it sure seems to be as big as if not much bigger than the Dragon capsule.
Several UFO-themed YouTube channels have published videos in which filters have been added to the raw footage, enabling the object’s unmistakably triangular shape to emerge. While several news reports and press releases claim the live stream could have captured the long-rumored TR-3B aircraft or another one of the world’s innumerable triangular UFOs, the footage isn’t anywhere near high-quality enough to make out any details on the object. Space rock? Hunk of space garbage? Telepathic manta ray creature? Black knight satellite? Could be any of the above.
The triangular UFO is one of the most commonly reported types, perhaps second only to the saucer and the ambiguous light-in-the-sky.
Of course, while those theories are great fodder for the imagination, an explanation requiring less speculation is probably far more likely. With tens of thousands of known pieces of orbital debris floating around in orbit, there’s no telling what might float by the ISS cameras from time to time. In all likelihood, this footage shows nothing more than a piece of dumb space junk which happened to drift listlessly by the ISS at an opportune time. Given all of the unusual activity around the space station lately, there’s no telling what debris could be floating around up there.
Of course, when we do finally catch an alien spacecraft or other space-borne strangeness on camera, will we be able to tell it apart from a piece of dumb space junk? How do we know alien spacecraft don’t look exactly like our space junk (if they exist at all)? Don’t even get me started on camouflage. If the Millennium Falcon can cling to the side of a Star Destroyer undetected, an alien craft advanced enough to make it to Earth in the first place could definitely cloak or disguise itself.
With so many unknowns, there’s no telling what the object in the video could be – which is why we all can’t call this video proof of anything extraterrestrial or otherwise. While we’d all love it to be aliens, other explanations are far more probable.

A UFO The Size Of Planet Earth Seen Hovering Near Saturn
A UFO The Size Of Planet Earth Seen Hovering Near Saturn
IN BRIEF
The Facts:
The picture here comes from a long time NASA scientist, one of many photos covered-up and hid from the public from the Voyager mission in 1980. That mission was tasked with photographing Saturn, its rings and its moons.
Reflect On:
What does this mean for humanity? Why the cover-up? Are we ready to accept that this may be a reality? What kinds of implications are there from the realization that we are not alone, and that highly advanced, intelligent beings are out there?
The pictures NASA got back from the Voyager mission to Saturn in 1980 were apparently so mind-altering that they locked them up–at least that’s what retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major Bob Dean said in this lecture. He also showed numerous photographs from the Apollo missions that were never released to the public. You can view some of those photographs here. Multiple governments, like Russia, have been calling for an international investigation as to where photographs, footage and Moon rocks disappeared to.
The picture above does not come from Dean, it comes from one of his good friends Norman Bergrun, a scientist and engineer who was part of NASA’s voyager program. He worked at NASA for decades at the Ames Research Centre. He also worked at Lockheed Martin where he managed the Polaris missile tests. Unfortunately, he recently passed. You can view his obituary here.
He is a legend for going public.
Luminous Source
What is the picture of? It’s a “luminous source,” that comes from Bergrun’s Book, “The Ringmakers of Saturn.” He had to go through a lot of trouble to publish it, and had to leave the country in order to do so, as Dean explained in the lecture linked above.
According to Bergrun, there are several large craft “proliferating” out around Saturn and its moons. His book goes into much greater detail, and although it’s hard to find and costs thousands of dollars, it is linked online, here.
Frustrated By Non-Disclosure
According to Dean, Bergrun got frustrated later in life that the decision was made not to tell the public what they had photographed at Saturn. My previous article Long-Time Nasa Scientist Blows The Whistle On Tall Black Extraterrestrial Beings describes Bergrun exposing the existence of what he calls extraterrestrial ‘vehicles’ that were responsible for making the rings around Saturn.
In a rare interview he gave with Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot (below), he expressed his great concern of the UFO cover-up and stated with enthusiasm that “people have got to be made aware that those things are real.” I’ve presented this video in multiple articles, but you cannot present this interview if you’re writing an article about Norman Bergrun!
The Takeaway
In his book, Norman makes it a clear point to emphasize that these objects have probably been around much longer than we have. He also states that if there was any ill intent towards our planet, something probably would have happened by now and there is a reason that these objects (which he stated are intelligently controlled, not by us) have not come in close proximity to our planet. By coming closer than they already are they may, and already probably do have some effects on our own weather. This is something Norman also mentions in his book.
A lot of ridicule and fear exists behind this topic, and today it’s no longer taboo as mainstream disclosure has begun. We are becoming more aware, and despite mainstream media and the global elite having a lot to lose from the disclosure of this type of information (propulsion systems, oil, etc..), the truth is leaking out. It’s a field filled with information and disinformation, so one has to be cautious and remain skeptical. At the end of the day, we know that we are not alone, and it has huge implications for all areas of humanity–not the least of which is that it will ultimately force humanity to look within.
More awareness of this presence is coinciding with a massive ‘spiritual’ awakening that’s happening on the planet, and this is not by coincidence. It seems that a growing awareness of what’s out there will serve to help humanity better understand itself.
Long-Time NASA Scientist Blows The Whistle On Tall Black Extraterrestrial Beings
Long-Time NASA Scientist Blows The Whistle On Tall Black Extraterrestrial Beings
IN BRIEF
The Facts:
Dr. Bergrun has had a long career with Ames Research Laboratory, NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), and Lockheed Missiles and Space Company & NASA. In one interview, he mentioned tall black extraterrestrials.
Reflect On:
With all of the information coming out, how many species/beings do you think those who control this subject have catalogued? Could there be trillions of races doing star travel?
“There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth’s protective layers. There are places to go beyond belief” – Neil Armstrong (source)
Princeton physics professor and NASA astronaut, Dr. Brian O’Leary, once said that “there is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time.” Apollo 14 Astronaut, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, told the world that “yes, there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered” and that “there is no doubt that we are being visited.” One of the original seven astronauts for Project Mercury, Gordon Cooper, has also been quite outspoken regarding extraterrestrial vehicles that are spotted and tracked, not only in space – but in our own atmosphere. Clark C. McClelland, a former technician of the Space Shuttle fleet claimed he personally observed an 8-to-9-foot tall extraterrestrial. Dr. Jacque Valle co-developed the first computerized map of Mars for NASA in 1963, and he continues to create awareness today. Buzz Aldrin has spoken multiple times regarding a UFO that followed them for the majority of their mission, as well as a monolith on the moon of Mars. Maurice Chatelain, a former NASA communications expert has also been quite outspoken.
I recently wrote an article about a high ranking Ex-USAF Colonel (ret), Ross Dedrickson, who claimed that the technical failure experienced during Apollo 13 forced extraterrestrials to assist them with their trip home. Story Musgrave, an American physician and retired NASA member, has been making his rounds at UFO conferences for years, and Eugene Cernan, commander of Apollo 17 has stated publicly that he thought “UFOs were somebody else, some other civilization.” John Brandenburg, the Deputy Director for the Clementine Mission to the Moon as spoken about the known extraterrestrial presence, publicly, many times. He did so in a documentary called Aliens on the Moon.
These are just American astronauts and NASA personnel, and it’s not even the full list of employees who have made such comments and remarks, not to mention that there are just as many, if not more, from the space programs of other countries. This doesn’t even represent the tip of the iceberg. Retired Soviet Air Force colonel and cosmonaut trainee named Marina Popovic, for example, expressed that one of the last photographs received by the Russians from Phobos II showed “the silhouette of an odd-shaped object approaching the spacecraft.” Popovich said the picture was taken on March 25th, 1989, in deep space near Phobos (moon of Mars) shortly before contact with the craft was lost. She said the object very well may have been an alien spacecraft.” Her belief that this happened was also poorly expressed by the New York Times. You can read more about this story here.
The point is, there are uncountable amounts of people from within these space agencies, not to mention high ranking political, military and intelligence personnel who have all provided their testimony and experiences. Now that the UFO phenomenon is no longer taboo, and ‘officially’ declassified in the mainstream world, it’s time to bring attention to the extraterrestrial hypothesis.
Perhaps the biggest point I want to get across by mentioning all of the above is that the majority of astronauts and employees within multiple space programs have openly spoken up and out about this issue, yet none of them ever get or have received any mainstream air-time and attention. It seems those segments are reserved for astronauts like Chris Hadfield, who are placed on the most popular platforms only to debunk what all of the above are saying. If there are 50 astronauts saying yes, we are not alone and this is known, but one of them saying no, that’s the one that is the one who receives all of the attention.
Perhaps they are part of the “official campaign of secrecy and ridicule” that the very first CIA director, Roscoe Hiellenkoetter referred to regarding this subject.
Tall Dark Black Extraterrestrials
The video below is a clip of Project Camelot’s Kerry Cassidy interviewing Dr. Norman Bergrun about what’s really going on in space. A mechanical engineer, Dr. Bergrun has worked for Ames Research Laboratory, NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), and Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, now known as Lockheed Martin. He then went on to found Bergrun Engineering and Research.
You can view some of his publications for NASA, where he worked for more than a decade, here.
Bergrun revealed a lot in this interview, which centered around what appear to be giant extraterrestrial spacecraft that are situated around the rings of Saturn. He called them, “The Ringmakers,” and also spoke of evidence regarding this entire subject. He spoke of (not the first to do so), extraterrestrial vehicles that appear to be even bigger than our own planet.
People have asked me about…I call them vehicles. I do not call them objects…They have all of the qualities of a vehicle, so that much we can say about them, for sure, so I’m calling them vehicles.
Norman is a scientist and doesn’t like to speculate at all. What he is saying comes from the evidence he has been privy to.
He is then asked by the interviewer, “Are you not posting the idea that they, those vehicles contain beings who are, you know, maybe like us?”
In his response, he refers to images that he’s seen:
If you want to know about people kind of thing, um, there is the ship that picked up the Voyager Capsule at Alameda Naval Shipyard. And they have a picture there of, uh, I think it’s the Apollo flight that Buz and Niel were on, uh but anyway, there’s one image there that shows Black People getting off…
He described them as very tall, stating that “7 feet would be a conservative estimate.”
You can watch the full interview below.
It’s interesting that he mentions the Buzz and Neil. According to Ken Johnston, a Boeing engineer and a former fighter-jock and test pilot for Grumman Aerospace who was also a marine and an F-4 pilot, as well as a NASA employee, working as the chief Lunar Module test pilot at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston.
He has publicly stated, “While Neil and Buzz were on the Lunar surface, Neil switched to the medical channel, and spoke directly with the chief medical officer saying, they’re here, they’re parked on the side of the crater, they’re watching us.” You can read more about those comments in the article linked below.
Apparently, this is how it went:
Mission Control: What’s there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11.
Apollo 11: These babies are huge, sir … enormous….Oh, God, you wouldn’t believe it! I’m telling you there are other space craft out there… lined up on the far side of the crater edge… they’re on the moon watching us. (source)
Below is a picture that comes from Corey Goode, a supposed ‘whistleblower’ from the Secret Space Program. It’s the only other source I’ve come across to mention black extraterrestrials. Bergrun is the only source with a verified, incredible, background that mentioned these beings.
The Takeaway
The takeaway here is to ask ourselves, with all of the evidence, documentation and credible witness testimony, it’s easy to see how much power and ability those who are in control of this topic have with regards to keeping it hidden from humanity. This subject is now at the forefront of many peoples minds, and that’s clear if you browse through the most popular Google searches. Interest in this subject is going to keep growing, and more people are going to continue to ask questions. As we engage, and as we continue our interest, more information will continue to leak out. The truth is, it’s all out there for any independent researcher or critical thinker to see.
The implications of this are huge, and the cover-up might not have been for humanities best interest, but to serve those who profit off of this type of secrecy, like oil companies.
The main thing to think about is the implications of this, it would leave no aspect of humanity untouched. If all of this is true, it’s quite clear that they’ve been around quite a long time, I think we can rule a real “alien invasion” out, but perhaps a fake alien invasion isn’t out of the question.
Volgens de Britse miljardair Richard Branson is het nog maar een kwestie van maanden voor de eerste toerist de ruimte in vliegt. We blikken terug op de allereerste privé-vlucht, vijftien jaar geleden.
Welke wetenschappelijk nieuwsgierige tiener heeft er nooit van gedroomd? Zelf een raket in elkaar knutselen met de spreekwoordelijke spuug en plakband, en die vervolgens het ruime ruimtesop zien kiezen richting sterren, wow! En het kan nog volmaakter: daarna zelf het artikel mogen schrijven bij het lemma van je project in het meest prestigieuze naslagwerk ter wereld, de Encyclopedia Brittannica. En het kan niet op: er ook nog eens een wedstrijd mee winnen die je 10 miljoen dollar oplevert, de felbegeerde Ansari X Prize.
Heel binnenkort zal het voor iedereen mogelijk zijn een ruimtereis te maken voor een betaalbare prijs
Te mooi om waar te zijn? Toch niet, want bijna 15 jaar geleden, op 21 juni 2004, krijgt de Amerikaanse vliegtuigbouwer Elbert Leander ‘Burt’ Rutan het voor elkaar met zijn SpaceShipOne (SS1). Een experimenteel ruimtevaartuig voor sub-orbitale vluchten dat – een primeur – uitsluitend gefinancierd is met privékapitaal. Rutan krijgt namelijk geen financiële steun van een overheid maar van Microsoft-medeoprichter Paul Allen.
De eerste privé-ruimtevlucht, met andere woorden. Of nog anders gesteld: het begin van de commerciële ruimtevaart. Met betaalbare prijzen voor iedereen, zelfs. Zo lijkt het toch, op dat moment.
Rubber en lachgas
Vlaams ruimtevaart-blogger Kris Christiaens (Spacepage): ‘Rutan had als vliegtuigbouwer in 1996 al eens een opmerkelijk record gevestigd met zijn Rutan Voyager: het eerste vliegtuig dat non-stop en zonder bijtanken rond de wereld vloog. SS1 was trouwens niet alleen het eerste privé-ruimtetuig dat een bemande ruimtevlucht uitvoerde, het was ook het eerste privévliegtuig dat Mach 2 en Mach 3 haalde. Deze hoge snelheden kon men bereiken dankzij een hybride raketmotor, achteraan het ruimtetuig.’
SpaceShip One
Waarbij, en dat brengt ons bij de spuug en plakband uit de doe-het-zelversdroom, onder meer gebruik gemaakt werd van rubber en vloeibaar… lachgas. In de cabine konden naast de piloot twee passagiers plaatsnemen, en verder kon de stand van de vleugels aangepast worden. Christiaens: ‘Op deze manier gleed de SS1 als het ware terug naar de aarde, waarna hij landde op dezelfde landingsbaan als vanwaar hij enkele uren eerder was vertrokken.’
Puur vormelijk heeft de SS1 wel iets van een kleine Space Shuttle, maar er is een essentieel verschil. Hij wordt namelijk door een vliegtuig tot op een hoogte van 15 km gebracht. Zelfstandig landen kan wel, zoals gezegd, maar het lukt niet om voldoende snelheid te halen om een baan rond de aarde te maken. Wat nochtans wel de bedoeling was. Hoe dan ook, waar de SS1 wel in slaagt is de ambitie waarmaken die vereeuwigd is in zijn registratienummer bij de Amerikaanse Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): N328KF.
‘KF’ is een afkorting van de Angelsaksische maateenheid kilofoot (1000 voet). In combinatie met het getal legt het de link naar de zogenoemde Kármánlijn, die door wetenschappelijke consensus op een hoogte van 328 kilofeet is getrokken. Op 100 kilometer hoogte in onze vertrouwde lengtematen, als een grens tussen enerzijds het luchtruim van de aarde en anderzijds de ruimte. Het punt bijgevolg waarop de luchtvaart eindigt en de ruimtevaart begint, en de SS1 overschrijdt die grens.
Christiaens: ‘Piloten Mike Melville en Brian Binnie voerden (elk apart en solo, dus zonder passagiers; red.) met succes drie bemande sub-orbitale ruimtevluchten uit en mochten zichzelf dus officieel “astronaut” noemen. Alle vluchten van SS1, inclusief de eerste testvluchten, vonden plaats vanop het Mojave Airport Civilian Flight Test Center, in Californië. Dit vliegveld werd na de SS1-ruimtevluchten omgedoopt tot Mojave Air & Space Port en werd de eerste plaats in de Verenigde Staten die een vergunning kreeg voor het uitvoeren van commerciële ruimtevluchten.’
En daarvoor ligt de weg in 2004 op het eerste gezicht breder open dan ooit. Burt Rutan is zelfs nog vóór de eerste vlucht van de SS1 al bijzonder zeker van zijn stuk. Op de laatste persconferentie voor het vertrek voorspelt hij een schitterende toekomst voor de commerciële burgerruimtevaart. ‘Ons project zal bewijzen dat zelfs kleine bedrijven, zoals het onze, mensen in de ruimte kunnen sturen. Dat besef doen doordringen is het belangrijkste doel van deze missie. Haar succes zal investeerders aantrekken, en heel binnenkort zal het voor iedereen mogelijk zijn een ruimtereis te maken voor een betaalbare prijs.’
‘Money, money, money…’
Vandaag, 15 jaar later, kun je niet meteen zeggen dat die voorspelling uitgekomen is. Waar is het fout gelopen met de grote droom? Over die vraag buigt de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartspecialist Jeff Foust zich in juni 2017. ‘Op het moment dat Rutan die uitspraak deed, was zijn bedrijf een van de meer dan twee dozijn kandidaten die de Ansari X Prize wilden binnenhalen. De prijs die was uitgeschreven voor het eerste privé ontwikkelde, herbruikbare ruimtevaartuig. De verwachting was dat tenminste een paar van die bedrijven zouden doorgaan met hun inspanningen. Een logische kwestie van inspelen op een marktvraag die alleen maar leek te zullen groeien. Maar de meeste deemsterden stilletjes weg. Vaak net bij gebrek aan belangstelling bij investeerders.’
Foust gaat het rijtje af. Rocketplane? Genekt door de financiële crisis van 2008 en intussen failliet. Armadillo Aerospace, gefinancierd door gamemiljonair John Carmack (Doom, Quake…)? In permanente winterslaap bij gebrek aan fondsen. XCOR Aerospace? On hold gezet in afwachting van nieuwe investeerders. Enzovoort.
‘Misschien had Rutan het gewoon aan de basis fout’, stelt Foust. ‘Het is niet omdat hem één keer gelukt is, dat anderen dat zomaar én meermaals over zouden kunnen doen. Ik kan verder ook alleen maar vaststellen dat SS1 – of welk ander bemand privé-ruimtetuig ook, overigens – tot nog toe nog een vlucht heeft gemaakt nadat de Ansari X Prize binnen was. Volgens mij was het hem alleen dààrom te doen.’
’23.000 euro per minuut’
Jazeker, er kwam een vervolgtraject. ‘SS1 werd opgevolgd door SpaceShipTwo (SS2)’, schreef Burt Rutan zelf bij zijn lemma in de Encyclopedia Brittannica, ‘dat ontworpen is voor twee piloten en zes passagiers. SS2 werd voorgesteld in 2009 en de planning voorzag het begin van sub-orbitale toeristische ruimtevluchten in 2015.’ Onder de vlag van Richard Bransons Virgin Galactic, prijskaartje 200.000 dollar voor drie uur in de ruimte en zegge en schrijve zeven (7!) minuten gewichtloosheid. Omgerekend zo’n 23.000 euro per minuutje zweven. Veel werd er al bij al niet meer van vernomen. Of in elk geval toch weinig concreets over waar u een reis kunt boeken.
Toch nog even advocaat van de duivel spelen. Vorig jaar in september was er toch dat in enorme schijnwerpers badende nieuws over de eerste maanreiziger-tegen-betaling? Ja, en dat was inderdaad ook met een privébedrijf, SpaceX van Elon Musk. Over het prijskaartje werd behoorlijk mysterieus gedaan. Maar zou het louter toeval zijn dat de uitverkorene, Yusaku Maezawa, een miljardair is die eerder met de glimlach een kleine 90 miljoen euro aftikte voor een schilderij van Jean-Michel Basquiat? En in het kielzog van SS1 ging het zeer nadrukkelijk om ruimtetoerisme voor ieders beurs, nietwaar?
According to Sue Ann Penn, an astronaut who is a candidate to be part of the first human settlement on Mars, has detailed some of the ways humans are expected to evolve in the not-too-distant future.
Speaking to the History Channel for its Ancient Aliens series, she said: “One of the most amazing things about the human body is its ability to adapt.”
Sue explained humans grow two or three inches when they travel to space due to a drastic change in gravitational pull.
She continued: “When you have a human that’s born on Mars, the environment will change the structure of the human body.
“In a few generations, what you are going to see is humans that are taller and skinnier, because the gravity on Mars is less than that of Earth.”
As a result, author Mike Bara believes humans will start to resemble the big-eyed aliens which have been starring in sci-fi films for decades.
He said: “If humans evolve long enough on the planet Mars, they could grow to be taller, they’d have the bigger heads, they’d have the spindly limbs.”
Mike also claims as we move further from the Sun, humans may have larger eyes in order to see better in the dark.
Academic Jonathan Young explained these changes would be similar to the angels depicted in the Bible – backing up the theory fallen angels were actually from Mars.

Jonathan noted: “The fallen angels were giants – they were at least 10 feet tall, very striking to look at, [with] enormous eyes and no wings.”
He continued: “They could also end up looking like representations of angels and various other God-like beings that we’ve read about in the Bible and other ancient documents.”

This comes just weeks after claims humans “must escape to Mars” in order to avoid extinction.

Is NASA hiding something? Live ISS space feed CUT moments after mysterious orb appears
Is NASA hiding something? Live ISS space feed CUT moments after mysterious orb appears
THE live ISS space feed cut out just seconds after a mysterious unidentified object appeared in its camera field sparking wide-ranging conspiracy theories over what NASA "is hiding".
Online users have accused NASA of "lying" after the US space agency appeared "to cut" its live space feed on the International Space Station (ISS) cameras. Moments before the live feed was interrupted, a mysterious bright blue orb came into view on the screen. In a video posted to YouTube, one of the cameras on the side of the ISS record a huge bright blue object emerging behind one of the space station's solar panels.
Footage of the UFO was captured: "UFO? NASA Live shuts down right after this object appears next to the ISS."
The video feed follows the object for a few seconds, even zooming in on the orb, which is hovering above the planet.
The live space feed then cuts off promptly, asking viewers to "Please stand by".
A message appeared on the screen reads: "The High Definition Earth Viewing experiment is either switching cameras, or we are experiencing a temporary loss of signal with the International Space Station."

Viewers have speculated that the incredible blue UFO could be an alien spacecraft.
One user wrote: "NASA is lying."
A viewer added: "That was a weird looking blob next to the space station?”
Another noted the peculiarly blurred object, explaining: "If the European Space Agency can manage to film beautiful, ultra-high-def footage of things outside the space station, why can't NASA?"
One person claimed the footage proved that NASA was "hiding" something extraterrestrial from the public.
People desperately tried to explain the strange orb, saying the object could be a “space ice ball".
Other users claimed the object looked like “a drop of water in zero gravity".
UFO Appears On Live TV Newscast In Buenos Aires, Argentina
UFO Appears On Live TV Newscast In Buenos Aires, Argentina
Two reporters were surprised during a live news broadcast when a box-shaped UFO started to cross the top of the giant TV screen. As the two are talking, a UFO on the far right appears at 16 seconds into the video, but they fail to notice the UFO until 36 seconds into the video.
The size and shape of the UFO can be likened to the one that was spotted over New York a few days ago. The box shape UFO is somewhat more common than most of us think. The boxy UFO has no wings and propellers but moving across the sky at a very high speed, much faster than a balloon.
Several UFO enthusiasts believe the video is a remarkable proof that space aliens are slowly trying to get in the minds and hearts of the public.

Unknown lights filmed over Kite, Georgia 17-Dec-2018
These strange flashing objects were seen and filmed over Kite, Georgia on 17th December 2018.
Witness report:
Orange spheres moved across sky in line. They disappeared and reappeared in various spots, lighting up and replicating themselves. We were driving home on Pinetucky Rd when we saw orange spheres move across the sky together in a line that seemed to swish. We stopped the car to watch them. They disbanded and disappeared.
Then they began to reappear one by one in different parts of the sky and started replicating themselves. When they lit up another light would appear then another. 3 times every time this process started.
Then the objects would disappear and others would light up in other places. Sometimes the replicated objects were in a straight line, sometimes in an arc. This continued for a few minutes, but then just seemed to move farther away until they just appeared as glitter in the sky.
This daytime UFO video was filmed over San Antonio, Texas on 16th December 2018.
Witness report:

APIn de tunnel zouden auto’s en voetgangers met snelheden tot 240 kilometer per uur vervoerd kunnen worden op elektrisch aangedreven sledes.
AUTODe eerste tunnel van Elon Musks bedrijf The Boring Company is vannacht feestelijk geopend in Los Angeles. De techniek moet een revolutie brengen in het stadsverkeer. “Mooi dat er mensen als Musk zijn die hierin geloven.”
De beelden hebben iets futuristisch: een auto die op een slede op straatniveau gaat staan, verdwijnt en in een ondergrondse tunnel op hoge snelheid binnen vier minuten van de ene kant van de stad naar de andere kant vervoerd wordt. Bij de bestemming aangekomen, wordt de auto weer met een lift op straatniveau gebracht. Met de Dugout Loop van The Boring Company lijkt het realiteit te worden.
Afgelopen nacht gaf initiatiefnemer Elon Musk een demonstratie in een proeftunnel van bijna 2 kilometer voor journalisten. De tunnel in Los Angeles loopt onder deelgemeente Hawthorne, waar SpaceX en The Boring Company hun hoofdkantoor hebben. Eens in de tunnel zouden de voertuigen veilig kunnen rijden aan een snelheid van meer dan 240 kilometer per uur, met een tussentijd van een seconde.
“Aan die snelheid voelt het alsof je binnen een stad teleporteert”, schreef Musk voor de lancering op Twitter. “Ik vond het episch”, zei Musk achteraf. “Het werkt.” Twee jaar geleden tweette hij nog dat het verkeer in Los Angeles “hem gek maakte”. “Ik ga een boormachine voor tunnels bouwen en gewoon beginnen graven”, schreef hij op 18 december 2016.

Capable of traveling safely at over 150mph. At that speed, it will feel like teleporting within a city.
De Dugout Loop van Musk is een alternatief voor autovervoer in de stad. Innovatief en ambitieus, vindt de Nederlandse verkeersdeskundige Sjoerd Nota. “Het is mooi dat er mensen als Musk bestaan die het geloof en de financiën hebben om dit gewoon te gaan doen. Hij is een echte durfinvesteerder. Als je het niet een keer doet, weet je ook nooit of het wel of niet werkt.” Ook heeft The Boring Company sledes ontwikkeld waar voetgangers gebruik van kunnen maken.
Het is echter nog maar de vraag of mensen het dúrven te gebruiken. Denk aan de Kanaaltunnel, waarmee je met de auto vanuit Frankrijk naar Engeland kunt komen. “Veel mensen gaan alsnog met de boot, omdat ze onder het water rijden eng vinden. Dat is een heel dure oplossing, als er niet meer mensen gebruik gaan maken van die tunnel. En dat kan met de Dugout Loop ook zo zijn. Durven mensen zichzelf en hun auto’s toe te vertrouwen aan zo’n elektrische lift en tunnel?”
AP
Het succes van de Loop hangt af van veel factoren: werkt het goed? Is het veilig? Durven mensen het aan? “Gaat het vlekkeloos en is het comfortabel en snel, dan kan het zeker toekomst hebben”, aldus de expert.
Rendabel?
Voor een ritje betaalt de reiziger straks in ieder geval amper één dollar (0,88 euro). “Ik ben heel benieuwd hoe het businessmodel hierachter eruit ziet”, voegt Nota toe. “Want die tunnel moet wel heel veel mensen van A naar B vervoeren om rendabel te zijn en om voor minder verkeer op de weg te zorgen.”
The Boring Company sloot eerder dit jaar een contract met de gemeente Chicago om een tunnel te bouwen van vliegveld O’Hare naar het stadscentrum.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone says Neptune? Mercury? Pluto? Nothing exciting. Saturn? RINGS! Everyone knows about the rings. It’s the first planet anyone who gets a telescope for Christmas looks for. It’s the planet that’s hardest to make for a school project, but no one complains because those rings are so darned cool! Bad news, ring fans. NASA just announced that the planet is suffering from something called “ring rain” which is causing the rings to disappear and Saturn will soon be just another Uranus without the funny name jokes.
“We estimate that this ‘ring rain’ drains an amount of water products that could fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool from Saturn’s rings in half an hour.”
James O’Donoghue, NASA researcher and lead author of a new study published in Icarus, puts the ring rain in terms anyone who has been in a swimming pool or collected rainwater in a can can understand. The ring rain was first detected by the Voyager I and II fly-bys. The Cassini probe, which crashed through Saturn’s rings in a blaze of mission-ending glory last year, found that Saturn’s rings, which surprisingly are made of water ice chunks ranging from microscopic to yards in diameter, are actually dropping onto to the planet’s surface in massive hail-like downpours.
“From this alone, the entire ring system will be gone in 300 million years, but add to this the Cassini-spacecraft measured ring-material detected falling into Saturn’s equator, and the rings have less than 100 million years to live.”
While 100 million years seems like a long time, NASA says it’s a blink of an eye in planetary terms. Saturn is estimated to be 4 billion years old and the current condition of the rings suggests they’re in the second half of their lifespan. That means there was most likely a time when Saturn had no rings at all. What’s more, it implies that other planets may have also had rings at one point.
“However, if rings are temporary, perhaps we just missed out on seeing giant ring systems of Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, which have only thin ringlets today!”
Rings around Uranus! (We’ll pause while you insert your favorite joke here.) Thomas Cravens, University of Kansas professor of physics and astronomy and co-author of a second study on rain rings, waxes sentimental on the fact that we should be grateful we’re alive at a time we can enjoy Saturn’s rings … while they last.
“If it’s not being replenished, the rings aren’t going to last — you’ve got a hole in your bucket. Jupiter probably had a ring that evolved into the current wispy ring, and it could be for similar reasons. Rings do come and go. At some point they gradually drain away unless somehow they’re getting new material.”
Is anything replenishing Saturn’s rings? It doesn’t appear that way, and the wispy rings around Jupiter, Neptune and (here it comes again) Uranus show what future astronomers and explorers can expect to see. However, there’s one ray of hope … if Saturn acquired those rings later in life, perhaps Earth can too.
If there’s life on Uranus, they should start writing their revenge jokes now.
We keep finding things that remind us our view of history has a lot of holes in it. We seem to be findinglost cities, hidden temples, and the remains of civilizations that completely re-frame how we think of them at an ever increasing rate. Recently, the megalithic site Gunung Panang in West Java, Indonesia was confirmed to be an enormous “pyramid” structure possibly as old as 28,000 years.
According to Live Science, The finding was presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union on December 12. Gunung Padang has been on archaeologists radar for a long time, and embroiled in controversy. A hilltop archaeological site first discovered by archaeologists in the 19th century in West Java, Indonesia, Gunung Padang was long thought to hold more secrets than the assortment of stone columns visible at the top of the site. A imaging and excavation effort that begun in 2014 has now proved that it’s not a hilltop site at all, but in fact the entire hill is an artificial structure, which scientists believe to be a ancient temple. The structure is over 150,000 square meters big, and the the layers of construction date from 3,000 to over 9,000 years ago, with the deepest layer of construction possibly as old as 28,000 years.
According to Andang Bachtiar, an independent geologists who supervised core drilling and soil analysis:
“What is previously seen as just surface building, it’s going down — and it’s a huge structure”
Gunung Padang
Scientists began to suspect something was off about the site when they saw that the standing stones on the hill didn’t match some of the exposed features of the previous archaeological site. They also noticed that the hill stood out from the rest of the topography on Mount Padang. Lead researcher Danny Hilman Natawidjaja explained:
“It’s not like the surrounding topography, which is very much eroded. This looks very young. It looked artificial to us.”

Using ground-penetrating radar, X-ray tomography, core samples, and excavation, researchers began to put together what this huge pyramid looks like. Unlike the symmetrical Mayan pyramids, this is an elongated structure rounded in a half-circle in on the front. Different layers make up the pyramid, representing different periods of construction across the millennia. The first layer consists of basalt terraces, walls and paths. Ten feet below the surface is a second layer of stone columns thought to be 7,500 to 8,300 years old. Below that, a third layer stretches 49 feet below the surface and could be anywhere from 9,000 to 28,000 years old. Researchers also detected multiple underground chambers but those have yet to be excavated or imaged.
The site is still in use as a place of prayer and meditation serving the local people, and researchers think that this may have been its function since it was first built thousands of years ago. Yet, it will be some time before the temple, or whatever it is, will be fully unearthed and researchers know its true purpose or scope.
For centuries, Scottish folklore and legend have both been filled with tales of a wild and deadly beastknown as the Kelpie. The terrible beast, which has the ability to transform itself into numerous forms – even that of people – was greatly feared throughout the 1600s and 1700s, when reports of the Kelpie were at their height. As for its curious name,“Kelpie” is an ancient Scottish term meaning “water-horse.” There is a very good reason as to why that particular name was applied to the beast, as will soon become very clear. As its name strongly suggests, the water-horse spent much of its time lurking in the waters of Scottish lochs – specifically in the shallower, marshy areas of such locales. It would coldly and callously wait for an unwary passer-by to appear on the scene and then strike, mercilessly and without any hint of a warning. The beast’s mode of attack was, admittedly, ingenious, even if the end result for the victim was not a good one. In fact, it was almost always downright fatal.
Very much creatures of the night, Kelpies were said to dwell in the waters of literally dozens of Scottish lochs. As creature-seeker Roland Watson demonstrated in his book The Water Horses of Loch Ness, however, the vast majority of reports of such beasts emanate from none other than Loch Ness. We may never know, for sure, the real form of the Kelpie; only the guise that led to the creation of its name. But, what we can say for certain is that the small number of witnesses who encountered the beast, and who lived to tell the tale, described it as a large black or white horse. In most cases, the victim was a late-night traveler, walking along an old, well-known pathway near the water’s edge of the relevant loch. Suddenly, the huge horse would rise out of the water, dripping wet, and make its way to the shore, with its coat shining under the light of the Moon.
Under such strange circumstances, many might be inclined to make a run for it immediately. There is, however, a very strange aspect to many of the Kelpie stories. Namely, that the people who crossed its path felt as if their free will had been taken from them and that they were deliberately prevented from fleeing the scene. Today, we might justifiably suggest that the beast had the power to control the minds of those in its deadly sights. Perhaps, even by a form of supernatural hypnosis. Those fortunate enough to escape the icy clutches of the Kelpie described how they felt driven to climb on the back of the horse and grab its reins. Despite having a sense of dread and a fear of doing so, that’s exactly what so many did – and, in the process, failed to survive and tell their tale. It was at that point that the Kelpie made its move – an incredibly fast move.
With the entranced person now atop the monster, it would suddenly launch itself into the deep and cold waters of the loch, with the poor soul unable to let go of the reins. Death by drowning was all but inevitable, aside from that very lucky, aforementioned body of people who were fortunate enough to have survived and who related their stories – hence why we know of the creature and its terrible modus operandi. As for the reason behind these deadly attacks, it was said that the creatures sought one thing more than any other: the human soul.
Although the Kelpie was very much a monster of centuries long gone, there is a thought-provoking case which suggests a Kelpie may have been on the loose in England in the mid-1970s. In the summer of 1976, an encounter with the much-feared and legendary “Man-Monkey”of Bridge 39 on the Shropshire Union Canal occurred; a supernatural creature first reported in January 1879. It was a strange, spectral, ape-like beast. The 1976 witness was a man named Paul Bell, a keen fisherman and someone who, in July and August 1976, spent several Saturdays out at the canal with his rods, reels, bait, his cans of beer and his favorite beef and onion sandwiches,. Bell told me that, on one particular Saturday afternoon, he was sat near the water’s edge on a small wooden stool that he always carried with him, when he was “literally frozen solid” by the sight of “what at first I thought was a big log floating down the cut, about sixty or seventy feet away.” According to Bell, however, it was no log; it was something else entirely. As it got closer, Bell was both astonished and horrified to see a large “dark brown and black-colored’ eel or snake-like creature – possibly ten feet in length or a little bit more – moving slowly in the water, with its head – that “looked like a black sheep” – flicking rapidly from side to side.
Although he had an old Polaroid camera with him, said Bell, he never even thought to take a photograph. Instead, he merely stared in both awe and shock as the animal cruised leisurely and blissfully past him, before finally vanishing out of sight. Bell stressed that the creature apparently did not see him (“or, if it did, it never attacked me”), and did not appear to exhibit any outright hostile tendencies. What elevated Bell’s story to a far stranger level was the fact that he claimed, in quite matter of fact fashion, that the following Saturday he was fishing in practically the same spot when he had a sudden, out of the blue feeling of being watched. He was not wrong. Peering across the width of the canal, Bell was both horrified and petrified to see a dark, hairy face staring intently at him out of the thick, green bushes. It was the Man-Monkey. The head of the animal was unmistakably human-like, said Bell, who added that “as soon as it saw me looking at it, up it went and ran right into the trees and I lost it.” He further explained: “That was it; a second or two was all at the most. But as it got up and ran I knew it was a big monkey. There’s nothing else it could have been.”
The chances of two strange and unidentified creatures being seen in the same location, and only a week apart, are slim to absolute zero. In fact, we can forget the “slim” angle. The chances are 100 percent zero. My conclusion? That what Paul Bell saw was nothing less than a 1970s incarnation of an ancient Kelpie. Bell was lucky to leave the site alive.
I found a giant three sided pyramid on Mars in a gigapan photo today. They pyramid has one smooth side, which is probably the original outer coating that was made for it, but the other two sides have severely eroded. I also found a lot of unique and ancient structures and placed the screenshots below.
Pyramids have been found all over the world on many continents and most of them were created at about the same time. They mystery of pyramids have lead to speculation that they were created by extra terrestrials that were trying to settle in an area and follow their cultural beliefs. Much like the religious group Quakers that prefer not to include technology or todays modern advancements into their lives.
