Earth ‘Under Attack From Within’ & Could Face ‘Blackouts for Decades’ as the Poles Flip +Videos

By Amber William  /  My Daily Informer

Our planet’s magnetic field has weakened 15% in the past 200 years – which could be an early warning sign. If the poles flip, compasses will point south – and it could have significant effects on Earth’s power grid (although it’s not likely to happen immediately, despite doomsday-mongers’ obsession with the idea). A report by Undark suggests that the ‘flip’ could allow radiation to reach Earth’s surface, and play havoc with satellites.
Scientists are using satellites to analyse the shifts in Earth’s magnetic field – and seen that the north magnetic pole is ‘turbulent and unpredictable’, Futurism reports.

PARTS of the Earth could be “uninhabitable” due to pronounced exposure to solar radiation if the world’s north and south magnetic poles shift, leaving citizens facing a “domino run of blackouts lasting decades”, it has been claimed.

Originally published: By JOSEPH CAREY

Science author Alanna Mitchell has delivered the stark warning in an article that declares the Earth is “under attack from within” and that a shift in poles could have dire consequences.

Ms Mitchell warned that a shift means the important shield surrounding the Earth called a magnetic field could be “compromised for centuries”.

She wrote: “Because grids are so tightly coupled with each other, failure would race across the globe, causing a domino run of blackouts that could last for decades.

“The shield could be compromised for centuries while the poles move, allowing malevolent radiation closer to the surface of the planet for that whole time. Already, changes within the Earth have weakened the field over the South Atlantic so much that satellites exposed to the resulting radiation have experienced memory failure.

“It turns out that the dipole — the orderly two-pole magnetic field our compasses respond to — is under attack from within.

“The Earth’s magnetic field protects our planet from dangerous solar and cosmic rays, like a giant shield. As the poles switch places (or try to), that shield is weakened; scientists estimate that it could waste away to as little as a tenth of its usual force.”

Since the last shift, the world has changed drastically – there is now close to 7.6billion people inhabiting Earth, this is twice as many as in 1970 alone.

The European Space Agency’s Swarm trio claims that a flip could be imminent, according to their satellite data.

Scientists have added that molten iron and nickel are sapping vital energy from the Earth’s core – this is near the spot where the protective magnetic field stems from.

The situation inside the planet’s core appears to signify a flip.

The author went on: “That radiation isn’t hitting the surface yet. But at some point, when the magnetic field has dwindled enough, it could be a different story.”

Ms Mitchell cites from Daniel Baker, the director of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder, that believes the devastating galactic cosmic rays and ultraviolet B rays “from a radiation-damaged ozone layer” could kill “living creatures”.

Do you know about the gift of nature to save the life of people from various health problems and make them feel secure by curing significant issues? How to live healthy in this world without having chronic diseases or illness or any other health issues which may hurt you physically and mentally? Due to dense population, people are trying to demolish the forest, garden areas to create shelter, so they forced to destroy the nature’s gift such as natural ingredients, secret medicinal herbs and more which are grown in wild forest, mountains and other places. When you read this review entirely, sure you will get chance to know about secrets medicinal ingredients, herbs and more used by our ancestor to get back the lost health without losing your life. Claude Davis was highlighted all the stuff in the form of the e-book The Lost Book Of Remedies filled with a list of natural ingredients and remedies that you can quickly grow in the backyard or at free space to include it in your routine diet or external usage to get well soon.

In addition to harmful results to life, “satellite timing systems that govern electric grids would be likely to fail”, according to Ms Mitchell.

the last pole shift, the world has changed drastically

She added: “No lights. No computers. No cellphones. Even flushing a toilet or filling a car’s gas tank would be impossible. And that’s just for starters.”

Some have seen this problem coming for a long time and changed their entire way of life by going off-grid. They have found alternative sources such as solar, wind and diesel to power their homes and machinery. A majority of us, who have not gone off-grid, are making a concerted effort to avoid dependence on this ailing infrastructure and preparing for life without it.

The Earth is protected from harmful solar and cosmic rays thanks to the magnetic field – when the planet’s poles shift, which they typically do every 200,000 or 300,000 years, the proactive barrier is hampered.

Because the last flip occurred 780,000 years ago, to say Earth is due for a pole shift would be an understatement.

European Space Agency’s Swarm trio claims that a flip could be imminent

The author explained: “Today, we know that the poles have changed places hundreds of times, most recently 780,000 years ago. (Sometimes, the poles try to reverse positions but then snap back into place, in what is called an excursion. The last time was about 40,000 years ago.)

“We also know that when they flip next time, the consequences for the electrical and electronic infrastructure that runs modern civilisation will be dire. The question is when that will happen.

“Geophysicists have tried to answer that question through satellite imagery and math. They have figured out how to peer deep inside the Earth, to the edge of the molten, metallic core where the magnetic field is continually being generated.”

Now, contrast what I’ve explained the effects would be with what doomsday folks are saying, such as this article:

“As the shift approaches, things begin to go out of balance, and the magnetic field begins to fluctuate significantly over a very short period of time (about 3 – 6 months). This would be like a full moon getting bigger and bigger every day. What happens then is that people start to go crazy emotionally. This breaks down economical and social structures on the planet because it is only people who keep these structures together.”

So what about a large external magnetic force? There’s nothing large enough that’s nearby. Sure, if we were to pass by a magnetar, we’ll be in trouble. Those have magnetic fields on the order of ~1015 times stronger than Earth’s. But the sun’s magnetic field really shows no evidence of affecting ours to the point of flipping it. There is no evidence at all – historic or validated theoretical – to show that the sun’s magnetic field, which is only up to ~10x stronger than Earth’s, can flip ours. After all, if it could, then it would every 11 years, since that’s how often the sun’s field flips.

So I’ve now given two ways that this really could happen – if a planet-mass object or an extraordinarily large magnetic field were to hit us or come near us, that could affect Earth’s rotation or magnetic field to the point where we would get a magnetic pole reversal (or, I guess a really big “shift”). However, we now again get to the question of evidence: There is none. We would know of a planet-sized (or larger) object that is close enough to come near us in 4 years (the end of 2012), or even 40 years. You can read post on the Real Planet X for more information on that. Similarly, we would see effects of a gigantic magnetic field nearby that’s close enough to affect us in the near future, something we also do not see any evidence for.

Wetenschappers ontdekken gigantische Mayastad onder de jungle. Welke geheimen liggen hier verborgen?

Op internet circuleert momenteel een video over een reusachtige Mayastad die is ontdekt in Guatemala. De stad lag eeuwenlang verborgen onder de jungle.

Onderzoekers spraken van de belangrijkste ontwikkeling in de Maya-archeologie in 100 jaar.

Archeologen hebben de jungle in de regio Peten in Guatemala gescand met behulp van Lidar, een radartechnologie die werkt met laserlicht.

Op deze manier wisten ze een verborgen netwerk van piramides, huizen, verhoogde snelwegen en terrassen te ontdekken. Het zou gaan om ruim 60.000 onbekende bouwwerken.

Bergen verzet

De onderzoekers stellen op basis van de vondst dat het Maya-rijk veel omvangrijker was dan altijd is gedacht.

Met een complex stelsel van irrigatiekanalen en terrassen werd intensieve landbouw bedreven, op een schaal die enorme aantallen mensen kon voeden en die het landschap ingrijpend veranderde.

“De oude Maya’s hebben nooit gebruikgemaakt van het wiel of van lastdieren, maar deze beschaving heeft letterlijk bergen verzet,” zei archeoloog Marcello Canuto van de Tulane University.

Belangrijkste

“We gingen van de arrogante westerse houding uit dat complexe beschavingen niet in de tropen kunnen opbloeien,” zei hij.

“Maar door het bewijs van Lidar-opnamen kunnen we nu aannemen dat zich complexe samenlevingen in de tropen hebben gevormd,” voegde hij toe.

Archeoloog Thomas Garrison van het Ithaca College liet weten dat deze vondst de belangrijkste in ruim 100 jaar is.

Honderden verborgen steden

Archeoloog Francisco Estrada-Belli zei: “We hebben 100 jaar nodig om al deze gegevens te analyseren en echt te begrijpen wat we hier eigenlijk zien.”

De onderzoekers moeten nog een groot deel van de jungle onderzoeken en verwacht wordt dat er nog honderden verborgen steden ontdekt zullen worden.

“This may indicate that the radio emission is produced in a disk of infalling gas rather than by a radio jet. However, that would make Sgr A* an exception compared to other radio-emitting black holes. The alternative could be that the radio jet is pointing almost directly at us.”

This can’t be good news. Astronomers using a new array of telescopes for the first time managed to get a really good look at the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy and discovered that it has its radio jet pointed almost directly at planet Earth. Why? A better question might be “WTF does this mean and shouldn’t we be wearing foil while reading this?”

In a press release from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, which participated in this project, Sara Issaoun, a graduate student at the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands and led author of the study published in the Astrophysical Journal, describes what she noticed when reviewing data collected by the worldwide array of telescopes, including the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, while pointed at the formerly foggy center-of-the-Milky-Way black hole known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). It’s “formerly foggy” because the team used a technique called very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) which allowed them to effectively combine dozens of telescopes (there are 66 in ALMA alone) into one giant virtual telescope the size of the Earth and peer through the fog.

Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)

“Even though scattering blurs and distorts the image of Sgr A*, the incredible resolution of these observations allowed us to pin down the exact properties of the scattering. We could then remove most of the effects from scattering and begin to see what things look like near the black hole.”

Michael Johnson of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics developed the technique used to remove the scattering — an effect caused by density irregularities in the ionized material along the line of sight between Sgr A* and the Earth. Once the team got a clear view of Sgr A*, they saw that the radio jet spewing material and strong radio waves from the black hole at close to the speed of light was coming from a spot so tiny that the only way it could possibly be seen on Earth is if it was pointed directly or almost directly at us. (See the simulated images with scattering removed here.)

Sagittarius A*

Are we all gonna die? Well, yes … but not from the radio jet pointed at us by the evil Sgr A* black hole. It’s 25,640 light years away, so it’s not going to hurt even if you stare directly at it through the world’s larges telescope without proper eyeshades. However, researchers like Michael Johnson are absolutely giddy over the possibilities.

“If ALMA has the same success in joining the Event Horizon Telescope at even higher frequencies, then these new results show that interstellar scattering will not stop us from peering all the way down to the event horizon of the black hole.”

Will they see through the wormhole into a far corner of the universe? Into another dimension? Or will they see another group of researchers from the future peering back at them?

Will those future researchers be pointing and laughing?

In 2017, NASA scientists at the Goddard Space Flight Center published a study warning that because of recent anomalies in the Earth’s protective magnetic field, dangerous clouds of cosmic radiation could soon pose serious health risks to airline crews and passengers flying at high altitudes. Since then, several airliners have faced lawsuits from crews who say they experienced unexplained illnesses as a result of their time in the air. Are the two connected?

The Earth’s magnetic field serves as a shield against cosmic rays, but that field is weakening in places for reasons still unknown.

Hard to say, but a recent spate of mysterious illnesses on flights sure makes it seem like something weird is going on aboard airliners lately, whether or not it’s related to NASA’s 2017 warnings about cosmic radiation. On January 2, multiple passengers aboard Frontier Airlines Flight 1397 flight from Cleveland, Ohio to Tampa, Florida fell ill with a mysterious illness. Dozens of passengers suddenly became nauseated and many of them vomited, prompting the plane to land early. The sick passengers were moved to the front of the plane for triage while the rest had to be moved to the rear of the aircraft where they waited to deplane for 90 minutes.

Good thing those tiny paper bags were there among the germ-infested magazines.

It’s still unclear what caused the passengers of Flight 1397 to fall ill, but Frontier Airlines believe it may have something to do with a water fountain at the airport. Officials from the City of Cleveland stated they would conduct an investigation, but there has been no update in the weeks that followed.

Just this week, a Dubai-bound Ural Airlines aircraft which departed from Moscow, Russia had to make an emergency landing after many passengers all fell ill simultaneously. About 90 minutes into the flight, many passengers suddenly found it difficult to breathe and became nauseated. Some of those who fell ill were reported to have “greatly dilated pupils.”

Nausea is a symptom of radiation poisoning – and just about every other form of poisoning. Airline cabins and noxious fumes go hand-in-hand sometimes.

One passenger says that as more and more people fell ill, a sense of dread filled the cabin:

I was woken up by a young woman screaming for assistance. She yelled and screamed ‘Help, help!’ because her husband felt ill. He was feeling really bad. He was suffocating and couldn’t breathe in. His face went the colour green  — then a panic swept through the plane.

Similar to the Frontier Flight 1397 incident, this one currently remains unexplained. Mid-flight illnesses are nothing new, and there are plenty of things aboard a modern airliner that could make passengers ill including the stink of other passengers’ rotting flesh. Still, the sudden uptick in mid-flight illnesses coincides with recent discoveries of more and more anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field. Could NASA’s warning about cosmic radiation finally be coming true?

Reptilian Underground Bases "They Are Living Below Us"

There is a hidden reptilian empire which consists of alien cultures and lost civilizations, their presence explains many of the myths of gods walking among humans.

The reptoids may have sought out refuge underground after Earth underwent climate changes some 12,000 years ago.

The Shanidar Cave is a vast archaeological complex located on Bradost Mountain in the Erbil Governorate of Iraqi Kurdistan.

The remains of 10 Neanderthals, dating from 35,000 to 65,000 years ago have been found within the Shanidar Cave.

The cave also contains two later "proto Neolothie" cemeteries, one of which dates back about 10,600 years and contains 35 'humanoids' one such skill is extremely elongated and considered the Reptilian Elongated Race of Sumerians. Nobody know how vast the complex goes underground.

There are many accounts through history of lizard people and snake like bipedal's from Sumeria to the Hopi Indians.

We will also explore the many accounts at the Dulce underground facility and how this all ties together.

We hope you will become aware of many facts you may have been previously unaware of in this 37-minute Reptilian Documentary.

Secret film to prove that Russian KGB found Alien mummy on Giza Plateau

Conspiracy theorists believe that the builders of the Cheops Pyramid and the other two buildings were visitors from a different star. This would at least explain why the three pyramids were built according to the stars of the Orion constellation.

UFO Hunters Claim Solar Warden Is A fully Operational, Top-Secret ‘Black Budget’ Space Program

“…These programs exist and are known as Special Access Programs (SAP). From these, we have unacknowledged and waived SAPs. These programs do not exist publicly, but they do indeed exist. They are better known as ‘deep black programs.’ A 1997 US Senate report described them as “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress…” 

(source)

The Age of ‘information’ has allowed people around the globe to research accounts related to phenomenon and theories that are ‘unconventional’ and extraordinary.

For several years, proponents of the ‘Alien’ theory believe in the existence of a shadowy ‘world’ government, and a secret space armada, which monitors –among other things— alien life within our solar system and defends planet Earth from the dangers that lie in the cosmos.

Some would call this science fiction or the basis for a movie worth watching. Others, however, believe there’s truth to these accounts, and point towards scientists, government officials, and even military personnel who have come forward offering ‘evidence’ that tells us all of this is more than just a science fiction movie script.

Among the projects that allegedly exist in the ‘background’ is one commonly referred to as ‘Solar Warden.’

The term ‘Solar Warden’ refers to a SECRET space program which is being funded by a secret black budget.

The first reference to “Solar Warden” occurred in March of 2006.

Some might say that secret space fleet, military operations in space, and Solar Warden are the result of an overactive imagination or a science fiction novel. Others believe it’s real, and society is being widely deceived throughout the years.

If Solar Warden is real, it would most likely use an advanced technology equivalent to several generations ahead of what the military currently uses in the battlefield. Some speculate that alien technology or better said reverse-engineered alien technology is responsible for the rapid development of such systems.

I suspect that in the last 60 years or so, that there has been some back-engineering and the creation of this type of equipment, which is not nearly as sophisticated yet as what the apparent visitors have.” 

–Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth astronaut, to walk on the Moon

Check out video below:

As it turns out, there are many individuals who have obtained –through different ways— classified information that suggests secret space programs like Solar Warden actually exist.

Gary McKinnon –an individual which is accused of the biggest ever hack in the history of the United States by breaking into the computers of the Army, Air Force, Navy and NASA— believes that he came across the ultimate information that proves the US have a secret space program operated by the navy with fully operational warships that operate in Space.

Perhaps one of the most fascinating statement comes from Dr. Farouk El Baz, a NASA scientist who said that: “Not every discovery has been announced,” and from Ben Rich second director of Lockheed Skunkworks who said: “We have things out there that are literally out of this world, better than Star Trek or what you see in the movies. We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God ever to get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do it…”

According to many people, the statement from Ben Rich is a small tell-tale sign that indicates secret space programs like Solar Warden actually exist.

McKinnon and many others concluded that there is a fleet of spaceships belonging to the USA. This is also supported by comments from the United States Naval Service which revealed in private interviews that the US Navy is in charge of a policy in regards to the use of advanced technologies off planet Earth.

The space fleet, hidden and unknown to the public, operates under the US Naval Network and Space Operations Command (NNSOC) (formerly Naval Space Command). There are approximately 300 people involved in the project.

Solar Warden is said to consist of US aerospace contractors, black projects, but with some contributions of parts and systems from Canada. UK, Italy, Austria, Russia and Australia. It is also said that the program has been tested and operated from secret military bases, such as Area 51 in Nevada, USA.

According to numerous ‘whistleblowers’ Solar Warden has already established bases not only on the moon, but on Mars as well.

If Solar Warden is the correct call sign for a secret ‘antigravity space fleet’, then it designates a joint forces command project which draws upon different US military space commands.

Interestingly, when  Gary McKinnon first found his way into classified files of U.S. Space Command he said that he had found: “…a list of officers’ names … under the heading ‘Non-Terrestrial Officers’. It doesn’t mean little green men. What I think it means is not Earth-based. I found a list of ‘fleet-to-fleet transfers’, and a list of ship names. I looked them up. They weren’t US Navy ships. What I saw made me believe they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet.”

Furthermore, retired aerospace engineer, William Tompkins has given extremely well-detailed accounts of secret space operations and space flotillas that exist in the ‘background’, funded by a black budget.

During an interview, Tompkins revealed:

“Thousands, thousands, not just a few, thousands of people have joined the Navy here in the United States. They joined the Space Navy. They signed up for a 20-year tour. So these folks, men and women, were given a lot of examinations and a lot of information on what they were going to need.”

“Many of them went to the Moon, our Moon, and facilities there and got checked out and organized and established where is the best place they’re going to go, what their criteria is going to be, what major area they’re going to develop, like what class in the university. And then they get sent to a Mars facility for a short time.”

Tompkins even describes how secret space program personnel are assigned after the induction:

“…and then they get assigned to a specific base. And they work for a short time in the base before they’re assigned a naval cruiser, or a naval attack vehicle, or even a naval spacecraft carrier, which are one, two, and four kilometer long class. And we have eight of those battle groups out there. So there’s plenty of room for new people to come aboard…”

Just a few weeks ago, I did a radio show on UFOs that started off on the Men in Black, but which later became focused on the well-known document titled Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs, a part of which was focused on alien life. It was a document written by an employee of the Brookings Institution named Donald N. Michael. The report was contracted by the Committee on Long Range Studies, which was an arm of NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The document was completed and provided to the House of Representatives in the 87^th United States Congress on April 18, 1961.

The host of the show referred, on several occasions, to the “top secret” nature of the document. I pointed out that the document had not been top secret at all. “Yes, it was,” was the reply. “No, it was not,” I hit back. Other people who phoned in said the document had a high classification. One caller stated it had “been classified above top secret.” There is no “above top secret” category, by the way. Matters went on like this for around fifteen minutes. Afterwards, and for a few days, I decided to run a little experiment. I spoke to a few people in Ufology about the Brookings report and deliberately steered the conversation in the direction of the supposedly secret document. I was amazed at the number of other people who had assumed the document had been highly classified. One was sure there was a “top secret” stamp on his copy of the report, which is complete crap. All of this demonstrates just how unreliable our memories can be. How do we know this? Well, consider the following:

In the December 1960 / January 1961 edition of the NICAP UFO Investigator magazine, a feature appeared under the banner of Space-Life Report Could be Shock. It tells us this: “The discovery of intelligent space beings could have a severe effect on the public, according to a research report released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The report warned that America should prepare to meet the psychological impact of such a revelation. The 190-page report was the result of a $96,000 one-year study conducted by the Brookings Institution for NASA’s long-range study committee.”

As the above extract from NICAP (the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena) makes abundantly clear, the ufologists of the day – late 1960 / early 1961 – knew all aboutthe Brookings report. It was not a hidden report. In other words, there was nothing secret about it at all. NICAP added: “Public realization that intelligent beings live on other planets could bring about profound changes, or even the collapse of our civilization, the research report stated. ‘Societies sure of their own place have disintegrated when confronted by a superior society,’ said the NASA report. ‘Others have survived even though changed. Clearly, the better we can come to understand the factors involved in responding to such crises the better prepared we may be. Although the research group did not expect any immediate contact with other planet beings, it said that the discovery of intelligent space races ‘could nevertheless happen at any time.”

Brookings Institute in Washington DC

NICAP had more to say: “Even though the UFO problem was not indicated as a reason for the study, it undoubtedly was an important factor. Fear of public reaction to an admission of UFO reality was cited as the main reason for secrecy in the early years of the AF [Air Force] investigation. Radio communication probably would be the first proof of other intelligent life, says the NASA report. It adds: ‘Evidences of its existence might also be found in artifacts left on the moon or other planets.’”

And then there was this from NICAP: “…previous thinking by scholars who have suggested that the earth already may be under close scrutiny by advanced space races. In 1958, Prof. Harold D. Lasswell of the Yale Law School stated: ‘The implications of the UFOs may be that we are already viewed with suspicion by more advanced civilizations and that our attempts to gain a foothold elsewhere may be rebuffed as a threat to other systems of public order.’ The NASA warning of a possible shock to the public, from the revelation of more advanced civilizations, support’s NICAP’s previous arguments against AF [Air Force] secrecy about UFOs. All available information about UFOs should be given to the public now, so that we will be prepared for any eventuality.”

Even when I brought all of this to the attentions of friends and colleagues, some were still sure it had been a highly classified document, with one claiming it had remained classified until the 1990s. Garbage! This may have far more to do with the human mind and our memories, rather than sloppy research. I’m reminded of other similar situations and memories of the Fortean kind, such as those concerning the “missing Thunderbird photo,” a subject I’ll get to on another day.

Deep under ice it dwells: Scientists find ‘fully unexpected’ signs of life in subglacial Antarctic

The researchers were then thrilled to uncover a collection of higher lifeforms: crustaceans, the tendril of a plant or fungus, and an eight-legged tardigrade. Known as “water bear,” this micro-animal is an ultimate survivor, with experiments in the past seeing it withstand desiccation (total drying up of the body), solar radiation, both boiling and freezing temperatures, and even living over a week in outer space.

A previous drilling expedition at Lake Whillans in 2013, some 50km from Lake Mercer, found an environment brimming with microbes, but no signs of more complex life. Thinking that the specimens may have been initially introduced on contaminated equipment, the team cleaned the instruments and repeated the process only to find more ancient lifeforms in the mud.

Researchers used a hot-water drill to bore through 3,500 feet down into an Antarctic subglacial lake, and found tiny carcasses of preserved animals.

Calling the discovery “fully unexpected,” David Harwood, a micropaleontologist with the SALSA team, told Nature magazine that the discovered remains were in excellent condition.

“It looked really fresh,” he said of one crustacean found with tiny, delicate hairs still attached. “Like something that had been living.”Another shrimp-like crustacean was found with legs still hanging from it and discolored “like an old leaf that’s been sitting on the ground for a season,” Harwood added.

Theories are now sprouting as to how the organisms came to be in the lake. Some suggest they may have lived in nearby ponds and streams during warm periods of glacial retreat between 10,000 and 120,000 years ago, before being washed into the lake through underground rivers deep beneath the ice or a moving glacier.

After covering up the bored hole in January, the SALSA team are now using carbon dating and attempts to sequence the creatures’ DNA in a bid to date them accurately and compare them to modern specimens. This may provide answers to how far the continent’s glaciers retreated millennia ago.

However, the surprise discovery may also inspire hope for those waiting on future exploration of extraterrestrial subglacial worlds. NASA is planning to drill into the frozen crust of Jupiter’s moon Europa in search for alien life, while closer to home on Mars stunning photos of a crater filled with water ice have teased space lovers worldwide.

In 2017, the New York Times and Washington Post confirmed what many had had long suspected: the pentagon was still researching and investigating UFOs long after the bad old days of foo fighters and Project Blue Book.  The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) officially operated from 2007 to 2012, under the direction of Luiz Elizondo and funded at the insistence of then senate majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada. It was officially shut down due to lack of funding, much to the frustration of Elizondo and Reid who considered it a necessary function of the Defense Department. While this paints the picture of a short-lived and relatively cheap—in the five years it was operational, the AATIP officially cost $22 million—flight of fancy, vanity project, or black-ops cash funnel, new information was released last week that shows the AATIP was interested in much more than simply watching the skies.

According to Motherboard, the Defense Intelligence Agency released a list of 38 research projects funded by the AATIP in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists’ Project on Government Secrecy. The list was presented to congress in January, 2018. The projects funded include juicy titles like “Invisibility Cloaking”, “High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Communications”, “Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy”, and “Antigravity for Aerospace Applications.”

Of course, there’s nothing in FOIA document that explains anything about these titles, so the imagination is left to run wild. It could be that every single one of these projects came to the same conclusion: this is all useless and impossible. But that seems unlikely.

Looking at all of the project titles in one batch is overwhelming. It’s hard to find more techno-babble lumped together even in the pulpiest Sci-Fi movie. That the Defense Intelligence Agency was actually spending money on a project titled  “Warp Drive, Dark Energy, and the Manipulation of Extra Dimensions,” is hard to fathom, but here we are.

In an email to Motherboard, Aftergood wrote:

“The list of research papers tells us something more than previous reporting did about this odd program. Now we have a better idea of exactly what the Defense Intelligence Agency was up to, and what it produced.

I think anyone who looks at these titles will scratch their heads and wonder what on earth the Defense Intelligence Agency was thinking. These are the kinds of topics you pursue when you have more money than you know what to do with.”

I don’t know, Steven, I bet they knew exactly what to do with that money.

It must be asked: could this actually just be techno-babble? How seriously did the DIA take the idea of warp drives, or the “Cognitive Limits on Simultaneous Control of Multiple Unmanned Spacecraft?” Is there a chance this is some sort of misdirection? It’s not unheard of, and black projects need to be funded somehow. You can hide a whole lot in a good UFO story.

All the money was spent on developing those magnetic display stands that make Bud Light bottles float.

We can’t know what the actual point of this research was, but it doesn’t seem like the AATIP ran out of money and shut down like the Department of Defense claims. According to a 2017 article in the New York Times, despite the official shuttering of the AATIP, the project remained operating in secret. According to the Times, Luiz Elizondo resigned from his position in 2017, in protest of the “excessive secrecy and internal opposition.” Elizondo said there was a new director of the program, but he declined to name who it was.

What do you do when an intelligence project stumbles on something that would raise a few too many eyebrows? Send that bad boy underground, of course. Whatever the outcome of this research was we may never know, but our slide into the realm of science fiction seems to be happening faster and faster. For those of us who prefer our reality on the weirder side, we’re probably in for a treat.

Pyramid UFO Over Mountain In Clarens, South Africa, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Nov 22, 2010 but reported today

Location of sighting: Clarens, South Africa

Source: MUFON #97999

 

This report just came in today. A person was taking photos of a hillside are of Clarens, South Africa and the first photo shows nothing in particular, however the second shows an upside down pyramid UFO. Close up of the UFO shows it has a grey metallic surface with perfectly symmetrical sides. Clarens is a small city of 6,300 residents. 

 

This is not an insect flying past, because there are no legs, wings or head. This is not a kite, because it was gone in seconds. I have heard of pyramid UFOs, but until now never seen one. The object appears to be directly above the mountain and is approximately the size of a small car. Its incredible speed of being caught in only one photo...is an indicator that this was an alien craft.

Eyewitness states: 

Took 2 photos seconds apart. noticed the object years later.

Electric-Blue Clouds Appear over Antarctica

Data from NASA's AIM spacecraft show that noctilucent clouds are like a great "geophysical light bulb." They turn on every year in late spring, reaching almost full intensity over a period of no more than 5 to 10 days.

News flash: The bulb is glowing.

A new ScienceCast video explores the noctilucent clouds now swirling over Antarctica.   Play it

As December unfolds, a vast bank of noctilucent clouds is blanketing Antarctica. It started on Nov. 20th as a tiny puff of electric-blue and quickly expanded to overlie nearly the entire continent. AIM is monitoring the progress of the clouds as they swirl and ripple around the south pole.

"The clouds appeared over the south pole earlier than usual this year," says AIM science team member Cora Randall of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Colorado. "Since AIM was launched, only the 2009 season got an earlier start.

Noctilucent clouds--or "NLCs" for short--are Earth's highest clouds. Seeded by disintegrating meteoroids, they form at the edge of space 83 km above Earth's surface. When sunlight hits the tiny ice crystals that make up these clouds, they appear to glow electric blue.

Summer is when NLCs are at their brightest and most widespread.  Now is summer in the southern hemisphere. The clouds brighten over the south pole in November through February, and shift to the north pole in May through August.

Why summer?  The answer has to do with wind patterns and the flow of humidity in our atmosphere.  Summer happens to be the time when the greatest number of water molecules are wafted up from the lower atmosphere to mix with "meteor smoke" at the edge of space. Ironically, summer is also the time when the upper atmosphere is coldest, allowing the ice crystals of NLCs to form.

In recent years NLCs have intensified and spread.  When noctilucent clouds first appeared in the 19th century, you had to travel to polar regions to see them.  Since the turn of the century, however, they have been sighted as close to the equator as Colorado and Utah.

Some researchers believe this is a sign of climate change. One of the greenhouse gases that has become more abundant in Earth's atmosphere since the 19th century is methane.

"When methane makes its way into the upper atmosphere, it is oxidized by a complex series of reactions to form water vapor," explains Hampton University Professor James Russell, the principal investigator of AIM. "This extra water vapor is then available to grow ice crystals for NLCs."

A graphic prepared by Prof. James Russell of Hampton University shows how methane, a greenhouse gas, boosts the abundance of water at the top of Earth's atmosphere. This water freezes around "meteor smoke" to form icy noctilucent clouds. [Larger image]

If this idea, one of several, is correct, noctilucent clouds are a sort of "canary in a coal mine" for one of the most important greenhouse gases.  And that, says Russell, is a great reason to study them.

Studying NLCs is the prime mission of the AIM spacecraft. Since it was launched in 2007, AIM has made many key discoveries including the role of meteor dust in seeding NLCs and the way NLCs are affected by long-distance teleconnections in the atmosphere. More discoveries may be in the offing as NASA has just extended the mission for another two years.

Alien Worlds, Extraterrestrial Life: Space Artist Sketches The Cosmos

 Bill Retherford - Contributor

A buzzing phone brings Ron Miller back to Earth.

Till then, his mind was decidedly elsewhere—on the alien world HD 219134 b, 120 trillion miles from his artist’s studio in South Boston, Virginia.

“A great big rocky planet,” he says. “I was working on it when you called.”

Orbiting an ancient star in the constellation of Cassiopeia, HD 219134 b is colossal indeed, about four times the mass of Earth. The ground, Miller says, is “covered with dense aluminum compounds.” Gemstones, maybe? Scratch the otherworldly surface, he supposes, and perhaps the topsoil is crusted and dusted with “sapphire and rubies.”

That notion in tow, his stylus in hand, and a five-year-old version of Photoshop in place, Miller conjures up a bejeweled landscape in a couple of days. He finalized HD 219134 b just before 2019 arrived, his 47^th year drawing the surreal estate in outer space. His illustrations, in more than 60 books and hundreds of magazines (Astronomy, National Geographic, Scientific American), number in the thousands. It never gets old, he says: “Half the fun is trying something new and seeing what happens. Every picture is a surprise to me.”

Miller’s formative years were in the fifties. “The golden age of space,” he says. “Books and magazines about spaceships and rockets were everywhere. Public interest in space flight was intense.” Sputnik launched when he was ten, NASA commenced one year later; he watched Space Patrol on television, Forbidden Planet at the theater. Miller was captivated, but a career in science was out. “I wasn’t good at math,” he says. But he could draw, and his first sketches were “rocket ships and the moon.”

Eventually he drew the solar system: Jovian clouds, Plutonian cliffs, dust devils on Mars, the volcanoes of Venus. Saturn’s moons appear in 84 of his illustrations. Enceladus is a favorite, a tiny satellite about the size of New Mexico. Scientists say Enceladus shelters a salty subsurface ocean, and some sort of life—maybe microbial, maybe something more sophisticated—might swim in its mysterious deep. Miller’s drawings of the moon depict a geologically-dynamic world of fountains, fissures, springs, and snowfalls. “I love doing Enceladus pictures,” he understates.

Two decades ago, astronomers found the first exoplanets. Suddenly, whole new worlds opened up for Miller. Yet even today, exoplanets remain an enigma. “In most cases, all we really know is that the planet is there,” he says. “You have a rough idea of its size and distance from its star. And that’s about it.” Miller’s ingenuity fills in the blanks, a blend of science and supposition. “With exoplanets, there’s a lot of leeway,” he says. “But the picture has to be plausible.”

Something else changed too, this about a dozen years ago: Miller switched—with hesitation at first—from acrylics to digital. “I’m still drawing and painting,” he says, “but now there’s no paint at all. The cleaning and changing and fixing and mixing—the mechanical stuff that’s not creative—that’s all eliminated.” Now, in the same time he’d spend on a “traditional painting,” a piece “with twice the detail, that’s twice as finished” emerges.

Extraterrestrial life, he believes, exists. Some might reside on Earth analogues. Miller’s rendering of a rocky beach on GJ 1214 b resembles the coast along Malibu. A habitable zone planet festooned with vegetation evokes Walden Pond. (Thoreau, however, likely never considered a chartreuse sky.) Big monsters seldom appear in Miller’s art, with notably spooky exceptions. Balloon-like creatures, tentacles dangling, drift through the dark firmament of a gas giant; an alien fish, a scary fusion of squid and shark, leaps from a cold green sea. The stunning images arouse an awe that commingles with terror. But Miller—perhaps understating again—brushes accolades aside: “I don’t draw animals very well. I can’t do a horse to save my life.”

At 71, he has no plans to retire. “I try to incorporate in the next picture what I didn’t do in the last one,” he says. “There’s always something I could’ve done a little bit better.” Certainly, the universe offers plenty of opportunity for practice. At last look, NASA has confirmed 3,872 exoplanets, with billions more out there. Art, says Miller, is “a learning process that never ends.” Science is much the same. With golden days here again, Ron Miller’s just getting started.

Europe wants to mine the moon by 2025: European Space Agency reveals plan that could spark a new space race

• European Space Agency revealed it has signed up rocket maker ArianeGroup to develop plans
•  Project will 'examine the possibility of going to the Moon before 2025 and starting to work there'
• Aim is to mine  mine regolith on the lunar surface, which could be used to create rocket fuel
• ESA says 'In the longer term, resources in space may even be used on Earth.' 

By MARK PRIGG FOR DAILYMAIL.COM 

Plans for a European base on the moon have taken a major step forward.

The European Space Agency revealed it has signed up rocket maker ArianeGroup to develop plans for a moon base that could be used to mine material from the lunar surface.

The project will 'examine the possibility of going to the Moon before 2025 and starting to work there' - and could trigger a new space race as countries rush to harness lunar resources.

The European Space Agency revealed it has signed up rocket maker ArianeGroup to develop plans for a moon base that could be used to mine material from the lunar surface. The project will 'examine the possibility of going to the Moon before 2025 and starting to work there'. Industrial partners including renowned architects Foster+Partners have already worked with ESA to test the feasibility of 3D printing using lunar soil to create moon bases. 

The one-year contract aims to eventually mine regolith on the lunar surface. 

'As ESA and other agencies prepare to send humans back to the Moon – this time to stay – technologies that make use of materials available in space (in-situ resource utilisation) are seen as key to sustainability, and a stepping stone in humankind's adventure to Mars and farther into the Solar System,' the space agency said.  

'In the longer term, resources in space may even be used on Earth.' 

'Regolith is an ore from which it is possible to extract water and oxygen, thus enabling an independent human presence on the Moon to be envisaged, capable of producing the fuel needed for more distant exploratory missions, ESA says.

Ariane is hoping Ariane 64, the 4-booster version of Ariane 6, would enable this European mission to carry the equipment needed for a Moon landing.

'The use of space resources could be a key to sustainable lunar exploration and this study is part of ESA's comprehensive plan to make Europe a partner in global exploration in the next decade - a plan we will put to our Ministers for decision later this year at the Space19+ Conference.' added Dr. David Parker; Director, Human and Robotic Exploration at ESA. 

The mission will pit Europe against the US, Russia and China, all of whom are developing moon missions. 

Last year NASA revealed plans to take America back to the moon - but will rely on private firms to run the missions. 

The space agency plans to work with nine private firms, ranging from small startups to giants like Lockheed Martin, to develop robotic landers and systems to mine the natural resources on the moon.

This will help develop the technology need for eventual manned missions, and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine pledged to have a manned lunar base within a decade.  

Ariane is hoping Ariane 64, the 4-booster version of Ariane 6, would enable this European mission to carry the equipment needed for a Moon landing.

It is also working with a German start-up, PTScientists, which will provide the lunar lander, and a Belgian SME, Space Applications Services, which will provide the ground control facilities, the communications and the associated service operations. 

WHAT ARE EUROPE'S PLAN FOR A MOON BASE?

In 2016, the head of the ESA elaborated on plans to build a village on the moon, designed by London firm Foster + Partners.

'The future of space travel needs a new vision,' said Jan Woerner.

The concept is a base for lunar exploration by humans and robots, which would act as a stopover for spacecraft, and become a 'village' with mining and even tourism.

'Right now we have the Space Station as a common international project, but it won't last forever,' said Woerner.

'If I say Moon Village, it does not mean single houses, a church, a town hall and so on. No, that would be misleading. 

'My idea only deals with the core of the concept of a village: people working and living together in the same place. 

'And this place would be on the moon.

'In the Moon Village we would like to combine the capabilities of different spacefaring nations, with the help of robots and astronauts. 

Structures for a lunar base could be built by robots sent ahead of human astronauts. Experts said 3D printing technology can currently construct an entire building in around a week

'The participants can work in different fields, perhaps they will conduct pure science and perhaps there will even be business ventures like mining or tourism.'

Woerner said the village could even help man get to Mars.

'The Moon Village would also act as a 'pit stop' for the further exploration of the Universe,' he said. 

'Esa is eager to fly to Mars as well. 

For ESA's 3D-printed lunar base concept, Foster+Partners devised a weight-bearing ‘catenary’ dome design with a cellular structured wall to shield against micrometeoroids and space radiation, incorporating a pressurised inflatable to shelter astronauts

'For more than a decade, we have had a very successful spacecraft orbiting there. And now, with ExoMars, two unmanned missions are aiming at martian orbit and the surface. 

'Yes, the Americans want to send astronauts to Mars one day, but today's technology isn't prepared for this trip yet. 

'For example, we must develop countermeasures against the cosmic radiation that endangers the health of humans on long space trips. And we have to learn how to endure longer periods of time in space, not only in low orbit as on the Space Station.

'This is where our Moon comes into play – it is the perfect stepping stone to Mars.' 

The space agency has been touting the permanent lunar colony as a replacement for the orbiting International Space Station, which is due to be decommissioned in 2024 

'This first contract – symbolically announced on the day of a lunar eclipse – is a milestone for ArianeGroup, which has for a long time been working on technological proposals for space logistics servicing,' explained André-Hubert Roussel, CEO of ArianeGroup.

 'It is also an opportunity to recall the ability of Ariane 64 to carry out Moon missions for its institutional customers, with a payload capacity of up to 8.5 metric tons.'  

Researchers are planning to recreate the conditions of the lunar surface right here at home. A new facility in the works at ESA's Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany will soon serve as a three-part moon analogue environment on Earth. Artist's impression of the facility. Its final design has not yet been finalised.

A new facility in the works at ESA's Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany will soon serve as a three-part moon analogue environment on Earth, the agency announced this month.

There, scientists will simulate lunar soil and a moon habitat, powered by systems that could one day be used to support a real base on the moon. 

The new facility will be known as Luna, and will take up 1,000 square meters at the Astronaut Centre.

This will pave the way for future explorations to the surface of the moon, which numerous agencies around the world are now working to achieve.

'The moon is a major focus for ESA and the next step for human exploration,' said ESA project manager for strategic planning and future development, Andreas Diekmann.

'Developed in partnership with DLR, Luna will help us build our expertise, prepare for missions to the moon and provide a platform for researchers across Europe to test technology and procedures.'

Researchers are creating a lunar dust substitute from volcanic powder produced by eruptions at the nearby Eifel volcanic region 45 million years ago.

The moon habitat known as FlexHab (Future Lunar Exploration Habitat) is intended to be operational by the end of this year. 

Once it's finished, astronauts will live and work there, in a space roughly the size of a shipping container.

The space agency is currently eyeing solar energy as the most sustainable way to power operations on the moon.

'During the lunar day, energy from the Sun will be used directly via photovoltaic panels, but it will also be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen,' ESA says.

'These two elements will then be stored separately before being recombined in a fuel cell for use during the two-week-long lunar nights.'

NASA has also recently ramped up its efforts to get astronauts back to the moon, decades after the final landing of the historic Apollo missions.

The space agency is currently planning to get humans on the lunar surface no later than the 2020s, and set up an orbiting outpost by 2023.

These goals rely on recent advances in commercial space operations and the upcoming Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket.

'This will be the first chance for the majority of people alive today to witness a Moon landing – a moment when, in awe and wonder, the world holds its breath,' NASA said earlier this year.
