Egyptian CURSE? Six archaeologists DIE mysteriously within MONTHS of opening sarcophagus
Egyptian CURSE? Six archaeologists DIE mysteriously within MONTHS of opening sarcophagus
SIX archaeologists died mysteriously just months after they opened up an ancient Egyptian coffin, a bombshell documentary has revealed.
The curse of the pharaohs is an alleged spell said to be cast upon any person who disturbs the mummy of a powerful Egyptian. This curse, which apparently does not differentiate between thieves and archaeologists, is said to cause bad luck, illness or even death. Since the mid-20th century, many historians have even argued the curse is real, due to the unexplainable circumstances that occur after the ancient coffin.
Soon after the discovery mysterious deaths were reported among the team of archaeologists
Netflix’s Top 10 Secrets and Mysteries
For many years, pharaohs were buried in the Valley of the Kings on the banks of the River Nile in Egypt, with 64 tombs already opened.
However, Netflix documentary series "Top 10 Secrets and Mysteries" series revealed how one discovery left researchers both baffled and terrified.
“The famous tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered in 1922,” the 2017 documentary detailed.
“Soon after the discovery, mysterious deaths were reported among the team of archaeologists who found the tomb.
“The deaths were ascribed to a curse cast by the pharaohs to ward off grave-robbers.

“Most of the deaths can be explained medically, however, of the 12 people present during the opening of the sarcophagus, six died mysteriously within a few months.”
Today, archaeologists wear protective masks when entering such resting places.
They are aware that bacteria active in the decomposed organic material can enter open wounds and spread infection.
However, not all deaths can be accredited to this, in addition to the bizarre experiences some researchers still have following the openings.
Some have detailed how they experienced very vivid dreams, claiming to be “haunted” by the mummies they apparently disturbed.
Egyptische vloek? Zes archeologen sterven onder mysterieuze omstandigheden na openen sarcofaag
Egyptische vloek? Zes archeologen sterven onder mysterieuze omstandigheden na openen sarcofaag
Zes archeologen zijn op mysterieuze wijze om het leven gekomen kort nadat ze een oude Egyptische grafkist hadden geopend, zo blijkt uit een documentaire die op Netflix te zien is.
De vloek van de farao is het volksgeloof dat beweert dat diegene die het graf van een farao opent, hiervoor gestraft zal worden.
In graven van vooral de koningen van het Oude Rijk zijn inscripties gevonden die verwijzen naar het afschuwelijke lot dat grafschenders zou treffen bij betreding van de tombes.
Onverklaarbare gebeurtenissen
De vloek zou leiden tot pech, ziekte of zelfs sterfte.
Al sinds halverwege de 20e eeuw zeggen historici dat de vloek echt bestaat. Ze verwijzen naar onverklaarbare gebeurtenissen die soms plaatsvinden nadat tombes worden geopend.
Jarenlang werden farao’s begraven in de Vallei der Koningen aan de Nijl, waar inmiddels 64 tombes geopend zijn.
Toetanchamon
De documentaire ‘Top 10 Secrets and Mysteries’ onthult wat er gebeurde nadat één zo’n tombe werd geopend.
De tombe van Toetanchamon werd in 1922 ontdekt. Kort na de ontdekking werden er mysterieuze sterftegevallen gemeld onder archeologen die de tombe hadden gevonden.
Zeer levendige dromen
Van de 12 mensen die aanwezig waren bij de opening van de sarcofaag, stierven er zes binnen enkele maanden onder mysterieuze omstandigheden.
Sommige onderzoekers maakten na het openen van tombes melding van zeer levendige dromen waarin ze achterna werden gezeten door de mummies die ze hadden gevonden.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, die op 3 januari aantreedt als jongste vrouwelijke congreslid ooit, kreeg de grote media over zich heen nadat ze op Twitter had geschreven dat het Pentagon 21 biljoen (ja, biljoen) dollar aan uitgaven niet kan verantwoorden.
Alleen al in 2015 lijkt een bedrag van 6,5 biljoen dollar in rook te zijn opgegaan.
Meer dan 16.000 documenten waarin iets zou kunnen staan over de bestemming van al dat geld, waren ‘verwijderd’.
Zwegen in alle toonaarden
Econoom Mark Skidmore kwam tot de ontdekking dat heel, heel, heel veel geld bij het Pentagon in een zwart gat lijkt te belanden en schreef er een artikel over voor Forbes.
Het artikel ging viral, maar het Amerikaanse Congres en de overige mainstream media zwegen in alle toonaarden.
Iets opvallends
Enkele weken geleden gebeurde er iets opvallends. Tijdens een persconferentie in het Pentagon merkte onderminister van Defensie Patrick Shanahan terloops op dat het Pentagon zijn allereerste audit niet heeft doorstaan.
Het was voor het eerst dat het Pentagon werd onderworpen aan een audit, hoewel dit eigenlijk al sinds de jaren negentig wettelijk verplicht is.
Opnieuw bleef het oorverdovend stil. Pas twee weken na de persconferentie schreef de New York Times er iets over.

Donald Trump may have launched US Space Force army after learning about America’s UFO secrets, expert claims EXCLUSIVE
Donald Trump may have launched US Space Force army after learning about America’s UFO secrets, expert claims
EXCLUSIVE
By Emma Parry, Digital US Correspondent
PRESIDENT Donald Trump must know America’s UFO secrets - and it may have contributed to his plans for a military Space Force, according to a defence insider.
Nick Pope, who used to run the Ministry of Defence’s UFO project, said it would be “nonsense” to suggest the President is being kept in the dark about potential UFO threats, as some conspiracy theorists believe.
Pope - often dubbed the real-life Fox Mulder for his official UFO research - says Trump must know about the Pentagon’s secret UFO research project - AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program), which was uncovered earlier this year.
He will be aware that the influential US Armed Services Committee has been investigating the money spent on the shadowy AATIP project, according to Pope.
Trump will also know that a Senate committee is currently investigating a 2004 incident in which US Navy pilots chased and filmed an unidentifiable white “tic-tac” shaped object which travelled at “balistic missile speed” off the coast of Mexico, Pope said.
Pope believes that this knowledge may have contributed towards the president's plans to create a Space Force, a new military branch dedicated to fighting wars in space.
The Space Force is due to be created by 2020, and has been championed by Trump, who tweeted in August: "Space Force all the way!"
Pope told Sun Online: “There are conspiracy theories suggesting President Trump's plans for a Space Force reflect a need to protect Earth against hostile aliens. There were similar conspiracy theories about President Reagan's Star Wars plan.
“While there may not be an alien connection, President Trump surely knows all of America's UFO secrets - some of which were released earlier this year as part of the AATIP project - and this may have contributed to his keenness to develop a military Space Force.
“And of course he knows that the two key battlespaces in any future conflict are going to be cyberspace and outer space, so it's vitally important for the US to dominate those battlespaces.
“In the 2016 Presidential campaign both Hillary Clinton and her campaign chairman John Podesta made some fairly strong 'pro-UFO' statements, but we don't know what President Trump knows or thinks about the issue.
“He'll know that the House Armed Services Committee is taking an interest in the Pentagon's AATIP project, which looked at the UFO phenomenon, and he'll know that the Senate Armed Services Committee is looking into the 2004 incident where US Navy pilots chased and filmed a UFO around the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.
“But we don't know - for example - whether he supports the move to hold formal Congressional hearings on this.”
Pope says that despite the conspiracy theories it was unbelievable to think that Trump would not know about any UFO secrets the US may be keeping from the public.
And he even suggested that those conspiracy theorists currently waiting for full disclosure of the US government's extra-terrestrial knowledge
“Many people in the UFO community believe in a conspiracy so vast, shadowy and deep that even the president doesn't know,” he said.
“They use phrases like 'need to know' and 'plausible deniability' to suggest POTUS is out of the loop.
“This is nonsense. If the US had proof that aliens have visited Earth, the President would have to know, because in his role as Commander-in-Chief he might have to make immediate top-level strategic decisions, if the situation suddenly became hostile.
“The President needs to know all the big, important things, as part of a culture of no surprises. If anyone in the military industrial complex is keeping UFO secrets from President Trump, or suggesting he keep quiet about things, they may be in for a rude awakening.
“He's a particularly forceful and strong-willed president, and won't take kindly to being kept in the dark or told how to play the UFO issue.
“The UFO community fantasize about 'Disclosure' - maybe President Trump will just Tweet it one evening.”
Pope, who ran the UK’s now defunct UFO project from 1991 to 1994 said he hopes the president takes an interest in the issue - and would be happy to use his expertise to help him.
“I hope President Trump takes a personal interest in this and I'd be happy to get involved,” he said.
“The UK government axed its UFO project in 2009, so there's no current subject matter expert, but having done this job in the Nineties I'm happy to help in any presidential briefings and Congressional hearings, to explain what some of us in the MoD concluded about the threats and opportunities that arise from the UFO phenomenon, whatever its true nature.”
The Pentagon and US Department of Defence have been tasked with creating the new force to ensure what Trump called "American dominance" of space.
Trump said he wants to counter Russian and Chinese developments in space tech.
And he said he wants US agencies to "implement a state-of-the-art framework for space traffic management".
Announcing the decision on 18 June 2018, Trump said: "We are going to have the Air Force, but we are going to have the Space Force — separate but equal."
Vice President Mike Pence later said Space Force was needed to ensure America's dominance in space amid heightened competition and threats from China and Russia.
He added that while space was once peaceful and uncontested, it was now crowded and adversarial.
Heeft Trump een ruimtemacht opgezet omdat hij achter de Amerikaanse UFO-geheimen is gekomen? Ingewijde spreekt zich uit
Heeft Trump een ruimtemacht opgezet omdat hij achter de Amerikaanse UFO-geheimen is gekomen? Ingewijde spreekt zich uit
President Trump moet weet hebben van de Amerikaanse UFO-geheimen, die mogelijk direct verband houden met zijn plannen voor een militaire ruimtemacht. Dat stelt een voormalige defensieambtenaar.
Nick Pope, die jarenlang het UFO-bureau van het Britse ministerie van Defensie runde, zei dat de president op de hoogte moet zijn van het geheime UFO-project van het Pentagon.
Trump moet ook weten dat een Senaatscommissie momenteel een incident uit 2004 onderzoekt waarbij marinepiloten een onbekend vliegend object in de vorm van een tic tac filmden en achtervolgden, aldus Pope.
UFO-geheimen
Hij meent dat dit alles heeft bijgedragen aan de plannen van de president om een ruimtemacht in het leven te roepen.
Die ruimtemacht moet in 2020 gereed zijn.
“President Trump kent vast en zeker alle Amerikaanse UFO-geheimen,” zei Pope tegen de Sun Online.
Vijandige aliens
“Er zijn complottheorieën in omloop die suggereren dat de ruimtemacht nodig is om de aarde te beschermen tegen vijandige aliens,” vervolgde hij.
“Tijdens de presidentsrace in 2016 deden zowel Hillary Clinton als haar campagnemanager John Podesta enkele stevige ‘pro-UFO’ uitspraken, maar we weten niet hoe president Trump hierover denkt,” aldus Pope.
Disclosure
“We weten bijvoorbeeld niet of hij voorstander is van congressionele hoorzittingen over dit onderwerp,” klonk het.
De UFO-gemeenschap fantaseert over ‘Disclosure’. Misschien zet Trump er op een dag wel iets over op Twitter, besloot Pope.
Baseball has its Oldtimers games. Golf has its Seniors Tour. Dancing with the Stars brings back past champions. Perhaps the Fortean world needs a place for those classic old sightings that keep coming back and baffling many – even when the cause of the event is usually known or easy to explain. The best example of this creatures falling from the sky. While cows, elephants, pythons and other large or strange animals would certainly warrant attention, fish falling from the sky have become more common and even an annual event in some locations. Yet the overnight or sudden appearance of thousands of flopping fish still gets people excited. That was the case this week in India, where yet another classic fish fall was reported.
“According to sources, a resident of Amalapuram captured the video of the “fish rain” at around 4pm and circulated it among his friends.”
Fortean phenomena are a lot more fun now that we have cell phones and social media. The WhatsApp video quickly made it to the Times of India, which interviewed the unnamed videographer from Amalapuram, a town in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh located in the delta of Konaseema, which places it between two tributaries of the Godavari River and the Bay of Bengal. Do you need a bigger hint as to where the fish may have come from? (Photos and video here.)
It’s happened before.
“A meteorologist from Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said that strong winds of the storms like Cyclone Phethai sometimes carry displaced fish, frogs from the water bodies and drop on the land.”
The news was big enough to be picked up by the Weather Channel, which just happened to have reporters hanging on to lampposts as they covered the (hint alert) Cyclone Phethai,which made landfall in Andhra Pradesh on December 17, destroying over 10,000 farm and, even worse, damaging an estimated total of 12,094 mobile towers, which could explain why there was only one video circulating of the fish rain.
While no greater source than the Weather Channel said it, all good Forteans know that there’s still never been scientific observation of fish rising out from a body of water due to a cyclone, waterspout, hurricane or other phenomena – only their falling from the sky or mysteriously appearing on the ground. And it’s often the case that they were brought by flooding, not rain. Still, there are times when there seems to be no weather explanation for falling fish, frogs, snakes and other non-flying creatures. Thus, they continue to be reported.
Stay tuned to Legends of Forteana for future coverage of fish rain, spontaneous human combustion, alien big cats, levitation and much, much more.
Mysterious Light Seen In Skies Across Northern California
Mysterious Light Seen In Skies Across Northern California
A mysterious light was spotted in the sky on December 19, 2018 after 5:30 p.m., a time when most are making their way home from work.
ABC7 News interviewed several witnesses of the strange phenomenon in the sky:
Dathao Becker was visiting the Bay Area from San Diego and said "I just thought it was a kind of weird formation."
"I thought somebody was trying to spell something out in the sky, but I couldn't read what it was, so, I just moved on with the rest of my night" said Aparna Sarna.
Palo Alto resident, Ransom "I saw a moving cloud, then it formed into a question mark. I don't know, maybe it's a sign."
In the next video an official from the California Academy of Sciences explains why the strange light that glowed across California Wednesday night was likely a meteor but Elizabeth Matuzak who is a big believer in UFO phenomenon told ABC7 News; "I definitely think it's a UFO."
I found a really nice resolution moon photo of IO. Its one of the moons of Jupiter. IO has a lot of evidence of intelligent life on it which I determined from the massive structures strewn across its surface. I found a really cool long black spaceship with bat-like back fins. Kinda looks like something Batman might fly around, but this thing is huge, about 10-15km across or more. Thats a hell of a ship. Also I found a round thick disk structure that appears to be sinking into the surface of the moon at an angle. The disk is large and probably parked on the surface but was too heavy and began sinking over thousands of years. IO has is an inhabited moon of Jupiter. Scott C. Waring
Mysterious Light Seen In Skies Across Northern California Likely A Meteor
Mysterious Light Seen In Skies Across Northern California Likely A Meteor
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – Social media was filled with photos, videos and questions Wednesday night about the bright light and strangely illuminated smoke contrail seen in the skies that were visible across the Bay Area and California.
Dozens of people called and emailed the KPIX 5 newsroom asking what the phenomenon was, but the reason behind the light and smoke initially was a bit of a mystery.
“It was far too big to be a firework,” said Gus Graves of San Francisco. “I’m thinking it’s some sort of high-tech rocket that they’re working on, possibly? Or aliens. One of the two.”
“I was thinking it was a jet or something,” said Kira Bulger of Oakland. “Like a fighter pilot that was leaving a crazy streak in the sky.”
Bing Quock, assistant director of the Morrison Planetarium at the California Academy of Sciences, said that the Lick Observatory determined the mysterious light trail was a bright meteor.
“A very bright meteor that fell through the atmosphere, and it took place shortly after sunset so that the contrail that was left behind was still lit by the sun,” Quock said.
He said that the reason for the meteor trail’s question mark shape was high level wind in the atmosphere.
“And when upper winds in the atmosphere blew the contrail into nicely contorted shapes that looked like a strange glowing curlicue in the air that baffled a lot of people. But very likely just a bright meteor.”
A bright meteor was visible in the skies over the Bay Area shortly after sunset this evening, leaving a bright trail that was visible for many minutes in the western sky. Elinor Gates got a few photos showing how the trail was illuminated by the Sun after sunset and changed shape with the upper level winds in the atmosphere. Update: From Dr. Peter Jenniskens (SETI) "CAMS@Lick Observatory detected the flash of the meteor at 01:34:48 UTC (17:34:48 PST). At least three flares."
Shortly before 7 p.m., the National Weather Service posted on Twitter that, while not 100 percent confirmed, the object seen was probably a meteor.
A key ingredient for 'night shining clouds' comes from outer space. Scientists have detected bits of 'meteor smoke' imbedded in them.

Many took to social media to post pictures of the phenomenon. Reports of the sightings were made as far away as Sacramento, the Tahoe area and Southern California.
In some photos, a large illuminated circle was visible on the top of the smoke plume. There appeared to be an increasing likelihood that the object was a meteor burning up in the atmosphere.
There was some initial speculation that the lights could be related to a scheduled rocket launch at Vandenberg Air Force Base, but that launch was scrubbed early Wednesday evening.

Astronomers used the giant dish to spot a pair ofpulsarsthousands of light years away, heralding big things for what is now the world’s largest single dish radio telescope.
The stars, called PSR J1859-01 and PSR J1931-01, were detected by the telescope back in August, but it took a few extra months until the Parkes telescope in Australia could confirm them as the real deal.
Both objects are dense, rapidly spinning stars surrounded by strong magnetic fields. These fields channel electromagnetic radiation into a beam that describes a circle with every rotation, much like a cosmic lighthouse.
Seen from Earth, the stars seem to pulse with every sweep, giving them their name pulsar. Their positions and timing make for useful landmarks in space, not to mention handy cosmic clocks for testing general relativity.
The pair discovered by FAST – also dubbed FP1 and FP2 – don’t stand out in terms of size, speed, or distance.
“FP1 is a pulsar with a spin period of 1.83 second and an estimated distance of 16 thousand light-years, and FP2, is a pulsar with a spin period of 0.59 second and an estimated distance of 4,100 light years,” says deputy chief engineer of FAST, Li Di.
For a comparison, the fastest pulsar turns on its axis an insane 642 times per second.
In February the European Space Agency found a pulsar that was a thousand times brighter than ever thought possible, 50 million light years away.
But give it a chance – FAST exceeds the 305 metre wide Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico as the largest dish of its kind, so far more impressive discoveries are surely yet to come.
“The two new discovered pulsars symbolise the dawn of a new era of systematic discoveries by Chinese radio telescopes,” says Yan Jun, director of the National Astronomical Observatories of China.
The US$185 million facility was built to collect radio waves washing over the planet from the far reaches of deep space, allowing researchers to pick up faint traces of radiation from ancient clouds of hydrogen gas, distant black holes, pulsars, or … just maybe … alien wifi.
The dish sits inside a giant sinkhole in Guizhou Province, southwest China, where limestone has dissolved away to leave a massive depression.
The stats are impressive; 4,450 panels give the dish a collection area of 196,000 square metres (about 2,109,700 square feet), more than doubling Arecibo’s coverage.
A bigger dish can collect more radio waves, which means detecting fainter signals; just the thing we need to see deeper into space, and therefore further back in time.
This hollow amid the surrounding hills provides a natural shelter from more Earthly radio waves, giving FAST a quiet spot to stare at the heavens.
Closer to home, the giant dish could also be used to track spacecraft travelling to Mars as part of China’s burgeoning space program.
China has been making extraordinary leaps in space-based technology in recent years, such as facilitating the first quantum-encrypted satellite link-up just a few weeks ago.
Earlier this year the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation announced it would be conducting a record 30 launches into space this year, maintaining a trend in recent years that could see it meet its goal of landing technology on Mars by 2020.
FAST is just one more example of the nation’s rapid progress in space technology. While it still has a few more tests to conduct to fine tune its processes, it won’t be long before the facility is available to astronomers all over the globe.
Scientists have long said that Saturn’s glorious rings may be only temporary. New research confirms a “ring rain” onto Saturn that’ll leave the planet ringless in 300 million years, or sooner.
Saturn’s wide, iconic rings make this planet the telescopic showpiece of the solar system, but new research confirms the planet’s rings are only temporary. The new work was publishedDecember 17, 2018, in the peer-reviewedjournal Icarus. It describes a process whereby ice particles from the rings are being pulled by gravity onto Saturn, falling as a dusty ring rain.
James O’Donoghue of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is lead author of the new study. O’Donoghue said in a statement:
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.
Saturn’s rings consists of countless separate particles with sizes ranging from pea-sized to that of giant boulders. These particles are composed mainly of water ice, with a trace of rocky material. There are two basic possibilities for how Saturn got its rings. It is conceivable that Saturn formed with the rings from the great cloud of gas and dust that also formed our sun and the other planets, 4 1/2 billion years ago. Or – as now seems more likely – the rings started out as moons for Saturn that collided, or a moon that came too close (within Saturn’s Roche limit) and was shattered by tidal forces.
The new research favors the idea that the rings are recent and temporary. Like some previous studies, it suggests a much younger age for the rings than 4 1/2 billion years. The ring rain alone indicates that the rings will last no more than 300 million years, these scientists said. Earlier research suggested an even shorter timeframe for the rings, giving them less than 100 million years to live. O’Donoghue said:
We are lucky to be around to see Saturn’s ring system, which appears to be in the middle of its lifetime. 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!
Artist’s concept of how Saturn might look in the next hundred million years. According to this scenario, the innermost rings would disappear first as they rain onto the planet. They’d be followed more slowly by the outer rings.
The first hints that a ring rain existed came from Voyager spacecraft observations in the early 1980s. Now, according to a statement from NASA:
Ring particles are caught in a balancing act between the pull of Saturn’s gravity, which wants to draw them back into the planet, and their orbital velocity, which wants to fling them outward into space. Tiny particles can get electrically charged by ultraviolet light from the sun or by plasma clouds emanating from micrometeoroid bombardment of the rings. When this happens, the particles can feel the pull of Saturn’s magnetic field, which curves inward toward the planet at Saturn’s rings. In some parts of the rings, once charged, the balance of forces on these tiny particles changes dramatically, and Saturn’s gravity pulls them in along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere.
Once there, the icy ring particles vaporize and the water can react chemically with Saturn’s ionosphere. One outcome from these reactions is an increase in the lifespan of electrically charged particles called H3+ ions, which are made up of three protons and two electrons. When energized by sunlight, the H3+ ions glow in infrared light, which was observed by O’Donoghue’s team using special instruments attached to the Keck telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii.
Their observations revealed glowing bands in Saturn’s northern and southern hemispheres where the magnetic field lines that intersect the ring plane enter the planet. They analyzed the light to determine the amount of rain from the ring and its effects on Saturn’s ionosphere. They found that the amount of rain matches remarkably well with the astonishingly high values derived more than three decades earlier …
The Cassini spacecraft – which orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017 – scanned across Saturn on April 25, 2016, capturing three sets of red, green and blue images to show the planet and its main rings. Cassini was approximately 1.9 million miles (3 million km) from Saturn at the time.
Image via NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute.
The team also found that one region in the south of Saturn was receiving most of ring rain.
And they discovered a glowing band at a higher latitude in Saturn’s southern hemisphere. This is where Saturn’s magnetic field intersects the orbit of the Saturn moon Enceladus, which was discovered by the Cassini spacecraft to be shooting geysers of water ice into space.
It’s been thought for some years that some of this material from Enceladus rains onto Saturn as well, and this new work confirms that moon rain exists as well.
Saturn’s moon Enceladus drifts before the rings and the tiny moon Pandora in this view that NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured on November 1, 2009. The entire scene is backlit by the sun, providing striking illumination for the icy particles that make up both the rings and the jets emanating from the south pole of Enceladus, which is about 314 miles (505 km) across. Pandora, which is about 52 miles (84 km) wide, was on the opposite side of the rings from Cassini and Enceladus when the image was taken. This view looks toward the night side on Pandora as well, which is lit by dim golden light reflected from Saturn.
Image via NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute.
Bottom line: New research confirms the idea that the iconic rings of the planet Saturn are only temporary. A ring rain is apparently falling onto Saturn, which, within some 100 to 300 million years, should cause the rings to disappear.

A series of pictures and videos that were shared in the social media show a large trail of smoke. Initially, it was not clear what caused it. Over time, more photos and videos of the incident were posted.
It was a meteor, according to the University of California's Lick Observatory near San Jose:
A bright meteor was visible in the skies over the Bay Area shortly after sunset this evening, leaving a bright trail that was visible for many minutes in the western sky.

I wasn't too sure where to put this video... I mean it's kinda 'Nature', kinda would be 'Preppers' but allegedly coming from the CIA, I guess it could be a 'Conspiracy Theory'
People have been 'doomin' and gloomin' since the global floods last receded.... People talk about polar flips, tidal waves and killer bees.... This allegedly comes right from the CIA's website, but I wasn't clickin no links or going to their site.... Says it's from a report that was eventually released but is heavily redacted...

So far, Earth is the only place in the universe that we know for sure is home to life, but there's evidence that its chemical building blocks may start stacking up in space. Now, NASA astrophysicists have managed to create DNA sugars in a vacuum chamber that simulates interstellar space, and in follow-up studies found other sugar derivatives in meteorite samples.
Exactly how life got started on Earth remains a mystery, particularly the leap from non-living matter to living cells. The current leading theory is that surface hot springs or deep-sea hydrothermal vents provided the right conditions and ingredients to give birth to simple life, but there are still some plot holes to be patched up.
An emerging alternative is that Earth was merely the "oven" for the cake of life – the batter may have been mixed in space. It may sound far-fetched, but the evidence for this is growing. Light signatures of sugars and molecules with the right structure and geometry for life have been detected out in space, while water and compounds essential for life have been found in meteorites.
The new study adds to that evidence. Scientists from NASA's Ames Research Center set out to see whether DNA sugars could be created in interstellar space. To do so, they cooled an aluminum substance almost to absolute zero, and placed it in a vacuum chamber that recreated the conditions of deep space. Then, the team added a gas mixture of water vapor and methanol – components of the interstellar medium – and finally they beamed UV light into the chamber to mimic radiation from stars.
Thanks to the extremely cold temperature, an icy layer was found to form on the aluminum, which was then warmed up by the UV radiation. The team then analyzed the substance and found that the sugar molecule 2-deoxyribose – which puts the D in DNA – had been created, along with several other sugar derivatives.

But just because these vital molecules can be created in the lab while simulating a deep space environment, doesn't necessarily mean that the process does happen in nature. To investigate, the team examined several carbonaceous meteorite samples and found traces of more simple deoxysugar acids and alcohols. Nothing as complex as 2-deoxyribose was found, but the team says this could be because they haven't checked many samples yet.
"For more than two decades we've asked ourselves if the chemistry we find in space can make the kinds of compounds essential to life," says Scott Sandford, an author of the study. "So far, we haven't picked a single broad set of molecules that can't be produced. The universe is an organic chemist. It has big beakers and lots of time — and the result is a lot of organic material, some of which is useful to life."
Finding these vital molecules in meteorites could help explain the origin of life on Earth, as well as ramping up the likelihood of it being widespread throughout the universe. Asteroids and comets could be exposed to this cosmic dust, going on to seed planets and moons with life as they crash to the surface.
"We don't yet know whether life is common in the universe, but we're pretty sure the presence of life's building blocks is not a limiting factor," says Michel Nuevo, lead author of the study.
So I thought, totally unrelated to disclosure .....I was looking at camera zoom lense options out there and I came across this guys video on YouTube.
The video goes through different magnification strengths using this particular Leica lens.
Being that this video is purely about this guys lense I don't think he maybe even knows this but if you jump to the 2:55 mark in the video and watch the moon at the right side of the screen you'll see a shadow fly from bottom to top. Very clear and easy to spot.
Is there something easy to explain away this shadow? Some common phenomenon that I may not know about?
Google Earth: Are these the secret S4 UFO hangars of Area 51?
Google Earth: Are these the secret S4 UFO hangars of Area 51?
Pictures on Google Earth show something that could be a hangar for aircraft.
The video shows an area that Lazar called S4 or Site 4 at the time - and which he said was a hangar hidden in a mountain where the UFOs were located. The place looks like a huge construction site, and you see at least three big hangar gates.
Yes, I know Tyler has a questionable reputation, but the Google Earth discoveries are still interesting:
Robbert Van Den Broeke – Real Alien Proof, Harassment From the Dutch media, Psychic Ability Demonic? Natalee Holloway’s Location, the Incredible Story of Robbert
Robbert Van Den Broeke – Real Alien Proof, Harassment From the Dutch media, Psychic Ability Demonic? Natalee Holloway’s Location, the Incredible Story of Robbert
Robbert van den Broeke was born in Breda, Holland, and grew up in a small West-Brabant village, with an older and a younger sister. At a very young age, he found he had psychic ability and ‘saw’ things which his parents were unable to comprehend.
Because of this lack of understanding about what he could see and feel his growing up was difficult and he developed traumas, phobias, and insecurities plus anxiety syndromes. It was not until he was 13 years old that his gifts and talents were recognized and under the excellent professional guidance of psychologist Rens Hendriks he was able to develop consciously in paranormal and spiritual areas.
It was in February 1996 that Robbert first found he was able to predict exactly where crop circles would appear. Once with his naked eye (and later also in company with others) he saw a crop circle as it was actually forming.
These experiences brought him a unique understanding and inspirations but sometimes the events were so extreme that, to avoid misunderstandings, his parents kept it all to themselves.
During this time Robbert’s perceptions and senses were becoming more acute and heightened and he found he was able to give information and statements to others about things he could not normally have known about.
He also began seeing energetic phenomena such as glowing spheres and streaks of light in and above crop circles.
The conversation turned to photographs and Video, of an encounter with octopus-like Aliens. They have left tentacles in a field and he would like them to be studied scientifically. He is not asking for money, he simply wants them to be studied.
Robbert is a controversial figure in his homeland, the media has not taken too kindly to him. The conversation takes a turn when the topic of Natalee Holloway, was mentioned. Robbert van de Broeke says he knows where the body of the missing Natalee Holloway lies. Van den Broeke indicates that Van der Sloot admitted in a skype conversation that Holloway is indeed in a grave of the Sint Anna cemetery. “I am particularly glad that he has told us on video that he did not want to say anything about Sint Anna and that I believe that it is correct, and of course we also pass this on to the police, but they do not take us seriously.”
“someone sent us to the police station in Aruba, we called and we have mailed, but they say that there are so many psychics who say they know where they are, that they do not even investigate it anymore, which is embarrassing and enormously frustrating. you know that another medium, without me knowing it, has appointed the same place. This cemetery, also grave 15 “, says Van den Broeke. The Hoevens medium now exclusively informs the editors of the Halderbergse Bode that he very recently also received a precise location; cemetery Saint Anna, grave 15. He is convinced that the police will meet the remains of Natalee Holloway there.
WETENSCHAPEen Russische Sojoez-capsule is vandaag veilig geland in een dorpje in Kazachstan. Met de capsule keerden drie ruimtevaarders terug op aarde na een verblijf van bijna 200 dagen in het Internationaal Ruimtestation ISS.
De Sojoez-capsule was om 2.40 uur Belgische tijd afgemeerd van het ISS en landde net na 6 uur in Kazachstan, een minuut eerder dan gepland. De terugkeer werd van zeer nabij gevolgd, want in augustus was er drukverlies ontstaan in het ISS door een gaatje in de wand van de leefmodule van de bewuste Sojoez. Het euvel werd snel verholpen, maar de oorzaak is nog niet bekend. Mogelijk gaat het om sabotage.
Aan boord van de capsule zaten de Duitser Alexander Gerst namens het Europese ruimtevaartbureau ESA, de Russische Sojoez-gezagvoerder Sergej Prokopjev en de Amerikaanse astronaute Serena Aunon-Chancellor. De Duitser was na Frank De Winne de tweede Europeaan om gezagvoerder van het ISS te zijn. Hij heeft tijdens zijn twee missies 363 dagen in het complex doorgebracht, aldus ESA.
In het ISS blijven de Rus Oleg Kononenko, de Amerikaanse Anne McClain en de Canadees David Saint-Jacques achter.
Mislukte Sojoez-lancering in oktober
Sergej Prokopjev en Alexander Gerst moesten normaal op 13 december al terugkeren. Maar in oktober mislukte de lancering van de Sojoez MS-10, waardoor de Rus Aleksej Ovtsjinin en de Amerikaan Nick Hague niet in het ISS, maar weer in Kazachstan belandden. Pas toen de Russische ruimtevaartautoriteiten er zeker van waren dat de Sojoez-draagraket alsnog betrouwbaar was, kon de huidige bemanning van het ISS vertrekken.
Riskante ruimtewandeling
Twee kosmonauten hebben vorige week tijdens een riskante ruimtewandeling ook in de buitenwand van de Sojoez gekerfd om stalen te vergaren. Die stalen vlogen met de Sojoez mee voor analyse bij de geheime dienst FSB. De Sojoez ondergaat tijdens de terugkeer in de atmosfeer temperaturen tot 2.500 graden Celsius.
Columbia
Op 1 februari 2003 verging het Amerikaanse ruimteveer Columbia, doordat tijdens de lancering een brokje piepschuim een gaatje in een vleugel had geslagen en waardoor tijdens de duik in de dampkring hete gassen het ruimteveer konden binnendringen. De zeven inzittende astronauten kwamen toen om het leven.

The Origin Of Humankind – The Big Historical Cover-Up [2018]
The Origin Of Humankind – The Big Historical Cover-Up [2018]
Is everything we learned in school, including science and scientists along with everything else just a big lie?
Many unsolved mysteries around ancient structures like the Egyptian pyramids or the Sphinx suggest alternative timelines of history.
Is there a cover-up of the true origin of humankind?
Timeliness are drastically skewed to align with the life of Jesus ,which no matter which story you believe humans have been here far longer than the writers of the biblical story would have you believe ,and even though a lot of it is to keep the believers in line and giving to the church ,there is a god a master creator that even other life forms would tell you , but we as a race are far older than than any of the established experts will admit !
The problem with modern science is that government pays for the vast majority of it. When you are funded by the government you say what the government tells you to say. Otherwise you lose your career. No true science can be had under those circumstances.
As one would come to realise, while traversing such fields of research as we do, you will inevitably come face to face with a worthy adversary.
That foe, of course, is modern paradigm. Often scoffed at when discussing the possible existence of a highly trained, highly secret group of worldwide individuals, who are tasked with the protection of a profitable lie.
Often labelled a conspiracy theorist due to the vast array of missing evidence and stolen relics. Yet alas, regardless of this, we feel it is our duty to vindicate all those who have suffere, for doing nothing more than tell the truth.
Many thanks to will hart over at nexus magazine in Spain for his exhaustive research. Let’s start with a familiar friend, The great sphinx.
In 1993, NBC aired a show titled, The Mysteries of the Sphinx, during the show, geological evidence was shown which indicated that the Sphinx was vastly older than Egyptologists currently claim. This evidence, has subsequently become popularly known as the “water erosion controversy”. The Self-taught Egyptologist John Anthony West, first brought the evidence to the attention of geologist Dr Robert Schoch.
Now, after thoroughly studying the Sphinx first hand, numerous geologists share West’s conclusions, and many have announced their findings to the world… Dr Zahi Hawass, along with the Egyptian antiquities, have launched a barrage of public criticism at this new evidence.
Renowned Egyptologist Dr Mark Lehner, who is regarded as the world’s foremost expert on the Sphinx, also joined this attack. Publicly declaring West and Schoch as “ignorant and insensitive”.
The smear campaign was ultimately a success, and squashed any further exploration of the theory. This, regardless of the overwhelming evidence supporting their claims. And this intellectual “mudslinging” is unfortunately, quite common.
The case of author Michael Cremo, could be seen as a well-documented example of this, and it also exposes just how the scientific establishment, openly uses pressure tactics on the media and government to stifle historical truths. In Michaels book, Forbidden Archaeology, he examines many artefacts that prove modern man’s antiquity, far exceeds the age currently accepted by academia. In 1996, when NBC broadcasted a special programme called The Mysterious Origins of Man, they covered material from Cremo’s book.
The reaction from the scientific community could be seen as verging on ridiculous. NBC was deluged with letters from furious scientists and others within certain fields, who all called the producer “a fraud” and the whole program “a hoax”.
Even attempting to force NBC to not rebroadcast the popular program ever again. They went to the tremendous effort of presenting a case to the federal government, requesting that the Federal Communications Commission step in and bar NBC from airing the program again.
This was not only an apparent infringement of free speech and a blatant attempt to thwart commerce, but up until that point, it was an unprecedented effort to censor intellectual discourse.
During the 1970’s, Dr Virginia Steen-McIntyre would also feel the cold hands of the conspiracy, a geologist working for the US Geological Survey, she was dispatched to an archaeological site in Mexico, with the task of dating a group of artefacts .
This particular case, again, perfectly illustrates just how far this illusive establishment, is willing to go to guard orthodox tenets. McIntyre used state-of-the-art equipment to date the relics, but her results were off the charts. The lead archaeologist expected a date of 25,000 years or less, yet she found dates of 250,000 years or more on multiple occasions.
A dating of 25,000 years, is conveniently critical to the Bering Strait crossing theory. Once her results were realised, the head archaeologists decided to dispose of Steen-McIntyre’s results, subsequently asking for a new series of dating tests. Steen-McIntyre was given a chance to retract her conclusions, but she graciously refused.
She has since found it hard to get her papers published, and she also lost a teaching job at an American university. These sorts of scenarios from these particular types of people, is what drives us to expose the truth. No one should lose their career because they do are doing it correctly.
Unfortunately however, unless there is a dramatic shift within our own society, stories such as these are likely to continue.
