Trindade Island’s UFO Sighting – Deep analysis
Trindade Island’s UFO Sighting – Deep analysis
The Trindade Island’s UFO sighting refers to an occurrence which took place on January 16, 1958. Island itself is a part of the archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean, 1000 km from the east coast of Brazil. Photographic evidence, along with people witnessing the sighting, makes it one of the most debated accidents involving UFO. So much so that the topic has been garnering attention even in 2010. When it became a subject of a major Brazilian TV show.
It was claimed that the sighting was a hoax and photographer had a history of manipulating photos. However, it should be noted, that investigation which followed the event did not reach the same conclusion. In fact, Brazilian officials and navy were heavily involved in the case and according to the photographer, were afraid of the consequences and panic that would ensue if the general public became aware of them.
The person of interest in Trindade Island’s UFO sighting was a well-known photographer, AlmiroBarauna. He was on a ship belonging to Brazilian navy – Almirante Saldahna. The expedition was part of an international scientific project, known as IGY (International Geophysical Year), whose purpose was to study phenomena associated with earth sciences (e.g. gravity, solar activity, and meteorology). The occurrence took place at 11 a.m. and was witnessed by a ship’s captain and team of scientists. After informing AlmiroBarauna about it, he was able to take several pictures, before the object disappeared.
After ship returned to the mainland, pictures were heavily analyzed by Brazilian Navy’s Aerial Reconnaissance Laboratory, which deemed them genuine. Even though there was an attempt to keep Trindade Island’s UFO sighting a secret, it received worldwide publicity when then President of Brazil, JuscelinoKubitschek decided to go public with it.
Allegations about the inauthenticity of the photos surfaced in 2010. On a TV show Fantastico, friend of AlmiroBarauna accused him of faking the pictures by photographing two spoons combined with his refrigerator on the background. This, however, gave rise to a new questions. Firstly, before the sighting, Barauna published an article in a newspaper, about how UFO sighting could be faked. The method described in the article was the same he allegedly used for this hoax. However, this does not make sense because of two reasons.
First, it seems unlikely that Barauna would himself publish an incriminating article and then proceed to use the same method to lie to the public. He was a well-known photographer and a highly skilled one. It is hard to imagine that, if he indeed planned to commit a hoax, he would not foresee how his article would work against him. Secondly, the statement about him using his refrigerator as a background does not make much sense. Photos were taken on a ship. This was confirmed by the ship’s captain and scientist present on board. Why highly respected people would commit to this hoax, remains an unanswered question.
Finally here is what naval report of this accident had to say about Trindade Island’s UFO sighting: “Finally the existence of personal testimonies and of a photographer, of some value given the circumstances, permit the admission that there are indications of the existence of UFO. Brazilian naval report.”
USS Nimitz UFO incident took place during November of 2004 when U.S. fighter pilots encountered an unidentified flying object, which later become known as “tic-tac”. In 2017 the footage of the occurrence was released to the public and became one of the most hotly discussed topics among ufologists.
The video itself does not offer a clear image, due to the nature of radar systems. However, there are several factors that make this case one of the most fascinating studies in the field. Firstly, the existence of an audio recording of pilots experiencing the visual contact the object. Secondly, Interview given by one of the pilots. Thirdly, a report was done by Washington post about Department of Defense’s operations to analyze the sighting and was later confirmed by the Pentagon itself, giving the sighting more legitimacy.
David Fravor, a Navy Pilot with decades of experience, is the centerpiece of USS Nimitz UFO incident. His skepticism in the subject quickly evaporated, when the training mission encountered something that could not be explained. Skeptics often explain such events by a secretive technology being tested, weather balloons, or unreliability of the witnesses. None of them applies to this eye witness.
Not only would he be aware of something that could be explained by our current technologic capabilities, but also the routine nature of their training operations would make the area unsuitable for any testing by different military branches. This also makes him immune to the claims of him not being able to differentiate something as mundane as a weather balloon, natural occurrence or mechanical dysfunction from UFO.
One of the main reasons that cause the USS Nimitz UFO incident to be a fascinating study is its continuous nature. The encounter with “tic-tac” was not a one-off incident. US Navy was following the unknown object for almost two weeks. At one point over 8 objects were seen on the radar. This was not some sort of the glitch on a radar system of the single ship. This was an organized operation by a fleet of ships to track down an unknown intruder.
The occurrence, in which David Fravor took part in when he and several other pilots directly encountered the UFO was a culmination of the chase. However, even after that event, several anomalies on the ocean surface where seen. Some point looked disturbed as if something has been hovering over them, however, no further visual contact was made. What truly transpired during USS Nimitz UFO incident is debated till this day. Several things are known for certain, the U.S. Navy fleet deemed the occurrence noteworthy enough to initiate the chase, which lasted for two weeks. No one who took the part in it can give an explanation of what happened.
David Fravor, a veteran Navy pilot was shaken by the incident and after 2 years retired from the navy. He said that after his jet returned to the carrier, his description of the events were ridiculed by his colleagues. What showed up on U.S. fleets radars for two weeks and what managed to evade most sophisticated military in the world, remains a mystery till this day.
Today, there are literally dozens of cases on file concerning the Black Eyed Children; however, the most important one of all, is, of course, the first case. Or, at least, the first reported case. It comes from a mannamed Brian Bethel, a respected journalist, whose story first began to circulate in the late 1990s. As fate would have it, and on the night in question, Bethel – of Abilene, Texas – realized he had forgotten to pay a bill, and so he got in his vehicle, with the intent of depositing a check in an after-hours drop-box. It was coming up to 10:00 p.m. when Bethel arrived at the location, which was situated at a shopping mall. As Bethel sat in his vehicle, writing out the check, he was interrupted in terrifying style by a loud tapping on the driver’s window.
As he quickly looked up, Bethel was confronted by a pair of young boys who, at first glance, in the darkness and the shadows, appeared normal. Matters very quickly became deeply strange, however. In no time at all, Bethel developed a disturbing sense that all was not well. It was as if a malignant atmosphere had suddenly descended and blanketed his vehicle, and as if out of nowhere. Bethel was careful to only wind the window down to a small degree, and asked the boys what they wanted. They came up with a story that sounded most unlikely and left Bethel feeling very uneasy; frightened, even. They claimed to need a ride back home, so that they could get some money and then go and see a movie. “C’mon mister, let us in. We can’t get in your car until you do, you know,” said one. It was at this point that Bethel finally saw the eyes of the pair: they were completely black, with no iris or pupil anywhere in sight. Bethel knew exactly what he had to do: he hit the accelerator and was gone. And so were the BECs: as Bethel looked back, they had seemingly vanished, and impossibly quickly, too.
Experiences like that of Brian Bethel abound. In 2011, I investigated the case of a woman named Alison who had a very similar experience in the previous year, 2010, at an Orange County, California motel. It was around 11:00 p.m. when a loud knock at the door made Alison practically jump out of her skin – as, at the time, she was laid out on the bed, engrossed in a movie. Rather weirdly, the movie was Roman Polanski’s 1967 movie, Rosemary’s Baby, which tells the story of a woman who gives birth to a demonic baby. Alison tentatively got up and tiptoed to the door, peering through the spy-hole. She could see two young boys, both in black hoodies, stood right in front of the door.
As if realizing that Alison was silently, and worriedly, watching them, one of the boys leaned into the spyhole and said, “Please let us in, we need to use the telephone.” Not only did the request send shivers throughout Alison’s, but the fact that the boy deliberately kept his face pointed downwards, while looming into view, and his eyes in shadow, only added to the menace.
Then, something very disturbing happened: Alison felt as if an evil force was taking over her own self-will and was trying to make her to open the door to her late night callers of the sinister kind. It took a supreme effort on Alison’s part not to unlock and open the door. Fortunately, she was able to fight off what became, she said, a “need” to let the children in. Having regained her wits and sense of self-preservation, Alison looked again through the spyhole, only to see the boy staring right at her…through a pair of solid black eyes. She screamed, jump back, and called the night-manager, who was on the scene in no time at all. The BECs were nowhere in sight.
It’s worth noting another UFO connection in the uncanny saga of the Black Eyed Children: they have deep parallels to the notorious Men in Black, who have, since 1947, terrorized and intimidated into silence numerous witnesses to UFOs. Just like the BECs, the Men in Black have a propensity for knocking on doors late at night. The two mirror each other in other fashions, too: like their child counterparts, the MIB will not enter a home until they are specifically invited to do so (shades of ancient vampire lore). Both the MIB and the BEC wear black. Both wear head-gear: hoodies for the Black-Eyed Children, and 1950s-era fedoras for the MIB. And there is another intriguing issue: very often the Men in Black wear thick, wraparound, black sunglasses. One has to wonder if this is done not just to provoke a menacing atmosphere, but to mask a pair of emotion-free, solid, black eyes. In that sense, and just perhaps, the Men in Black and the Black Eyed Children are one and the same: one in adult form and the other in child form, but both following the same secret agenda – whatever that may really be. So, where does that all leave us? Well, it admittedly leaves us with a lot of questions. But they are questions that a certain, acclaimed and dedicated researcher of the Black Eyed has done his very best to resolve.
Undoubtedly the leading investigator in this field, and the author of the book, The Black Eyed Children, David Weatherly has collected and studied dozens of such cases, demonstrating the sheer scale of these weird and unsettling events. David’s work has addressed a variety of theories for the presence of the BECs: that they might be demonic in nature, or predatory spirits, or possibly even products of the human mind, given some semblance of physical life in the real world. We will leave the final words on this issue to David: “An even more sinister theory that has followers, postulates that the grays are actually attempting to take over our world by slowly breeding us out and phasing in beings with alien DNA. Over time the human race will fade away to be replaced by the ‘superior’ DNA of the gray aliens, adherents say”
Spiraling Giants: Astronomers Witness the Birth of a Massive Binary Star System
Spiraling Giants: Astronomers Witness the Birth of a Massive Binary Star System
ALMA image of the IRAS-07299 star-forming region and the massive binary system at its center. The background image shows dense, dusty streams of gas (shown in green) that appear to be flowing toward the center of the system. Gas that is moving toward us — as traced by the methanol molecule — is shown in blue; motions away from us in red. The inset image shows a zoom-in view of the massive forming binary, with the brighter, primary protostar moving toward us shown in blue and the fainter, secondary protostar moving away from us shown in red. The blue and red dotted lines show an example of orbits of the primary and secondary spiraling around their center of mass (marked by the cross).

Scientists from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research in Japan,the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden,and the University of Virginia in the USA and collaborators used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to observe a molecular cloud that is collapsing to form two massive protostars that will eventually become a binary star system.
While it is known that most massive stars possess orbiting stellar companions it has been unclear how this comes about – for example, are the stars born together from a common spiraling gas disk at the center of a collapsing cloud, or do they pair up later by chance encounters in a crowded star cluster.
Understanding the dynamics of forming binaries has been difficult because the protostars in these systems are still enveloped in a thick cloud of gas and dust that prevents most light from escaping. Fortunately, it is possible to see them using radio waves, as long as they can be imaged with sufficiently high spatial resolution.
In the current research, published in Nature Astronomy, the researchers led by Yichen Zhang of the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research and Jonathan C. Tan at the Chalmers University,and the University of Virginia, used ALMAto observe, at high spatial resolution, a star-forming region known as IRAS07299-1651, which is located 1.68 kiloparsecs, or about 5,500 light years, away.

The observations showed that already at this early stage, the cloud contains two objects, a massive “primary” central star and another “secondary” forming star, also of high mass. For the first time, the research team was able to use these observations to deduce the dynamics of the system. The observations showed that the two forming stars are separated by a distance of about 180 astronomical units—a unit approximately the distance from the earth to the sun. Hence, they are quite far apart. They are currently orbiting each other with a period of at most 600 years and have a total mass at least 18 times that of our Sun.
According to Zhang, “This is an exciting finding because we have long been perplexed by the question of whether stars form into binaries during the initial collapse of the star-forming cloud or whether they are created during later stages. Our observations clearly show that the division into binary stars takes place early on, while they are still in their infancy.”

The grey background image shows the overall distribution, from all velocities, of dust emission from the dense gas streams.

Another finding of the study was that the binary stars are being nurtured from a common disk fed by the collapsing cloud and favoring a scenario in which the secondary star of the binary formed as a result of fragmentation of the disk originally around the primary. This allows the initially smaller secondary protostar to “steal” infalling matter from its sibling and eventually they should emerge as quite similar “twins”.
Tan adds, “This is an important result for understanding the birth of massive stars. Such stars are important throughout the universe, not least for producing, at the ends of their lives, the heavy elements that make up our Earth and are in our bodies.”
Zhang concludes, “What is important now is to look at other examples to see whether this is a unique situation or something that is common for the birth of all massive stars.”

Scientists may not know what or where dark matter is but they are pretty sure they know one thing it isn’t.
An international team of researchers has put a theory speculated by the late Stephen Hawking to its most rigorous test to date, and their results have ruled out the possibility that primordial black holes smaller than a tenth of a millimeter make up most of dark matter. Details of their study have been published in this week’s Nature Astronomy.
Scientists know that 85 per cent of the matter in the Universe is made up of dark matter. Its gravitational force prevents stars in our Milky Way from flying apart. However, attempts to detect such dark matter particles using underground experiments, or accelerator experiments including the world’s largest accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, have failed so far.
The Milky Way galaxy (left) and the Andromeda galaxy (right) are separated by 2.6 million light years. Compared with the areas where stars are clustered together, dark matter is believed to be distributed over a much larger volume.

This has led scientists to consider Hawking’s 1974 theory of the existence of primordial black holes, born shortly after the Big Bang, and his speculation that they could make up a large fraction of the elusive dark matter scientists are trying to discover today.
An international team of researchers, led by Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe Principal Investigator Masahiro Takada, PhD candidate student Hiroko Niikura, Professor Naoki Yasuda, and including researchers from Japan, India and the US, have used the gravitational lensing effect to look for primordial black holes between Earth and the Andromeda galaxy. Gravitational lensing, an effect first suggested by Albert Einstein, manifests itself as the bending of light rays coming from a distant object such as a star due to the gravitational effect of an intervening massive object such as a primordial black hole. In extreme cases, such light bending causes the background star to appear much brighter than it originally is.
As the Subaru Telescope on Earth looks at the Andromeda galaxy, a star in Andromeda will become significantly brighter if a primordial black hole passes in front of the star. As the primordial black hole continues to move out of alignment, the star will also turn dimmer (go back to its original brightness).

However, gravitational lensing effects are very rare events because it requires a star in the Andromeda galaxy, a primordial black hole acting as the gravitational lens, and an observer on Earth to be exactly in line with one another. So to maximize the chances of capturing an event, the researchers used the Hyper Suprime-Cam digital camera on the Subaru telescope in Hawaii, which can capture the whole image of the Andromeda galaxy in one shot. Taking into account how fast primordial black holes are expected to move in interstellar space, the team took multiple images to be able to catch the flicker of a star as it brightens for a period of a few minutes to hours due to gravitational lensing.
From 190 consecutive images of the Andromeda galaxy taken over seven hours during one clear night, the team scoured the data for potential gravitational lensing events. If dark matter consists of primordial black holes of a given mass, in this case masses lighter than the moon, the researchers expected to find about 1000 events. But after careful analyses, they could only identify one case. The team’s results showed primordial black holes can contribute no more than 0.1 per cent of all dark matter mass. Therefore, it is unlikely the theory is true.
Data from the star which showed characteristics of being magnified by a potential gravitational lens, possibly by a primordial black hole. About 4 hours after data taking on the Subaru Telescope began, one star began to shine brighter. Less than an hour later, the star reached peak brightness before becoming dimmer.

The researchers are now planning to further develop their analysis of the Andromeda galaxy. One new theory they will investigate is to find whether binary black holes discovered by gravitational wave detector LIGO are in fact primordial black holes.

This was reported on Twitter by a person that believed it to be a meteor strike into the mouth of a volcano. However I have found proof that this is 100% two alien craft entering an underground base. How you ask? Easy. I focused the smaller UFO to the left. The smaller UFO has outlines to it...as I added contrast I saw that the object was a cube UFO (as seen below photos). I also added contrast to the round meteor...and guess what? I found that within its center is a cubic UFO craft disgusting as a meteor. Look at the bottom of this post to see the actual craft within the fake meteor.
Why pretend to be something you are not? They have rules, and to come to earth and enter an underground base they must follow those rules. When they break those rules, there are always consequences that they must pay. Basically, they fear those consequences more than they fear humans seeing them. Kinda like the Star Trek Prime Directive, but these species are millions of years more advanced than the Star Trek crew.

The above 3 photos show the smaller UFO close up, entering the UFO. The bottom 3 photos shows the larger UFO close up.
The actual UFO within the large meteor light is clearly a intelligently built craft.

Cube UFO Over Glenrowan, Australia Caught On Video During Day Sighting, April 2, 2019, UFO Sighting News.
Did you notice that the above photo is a cube shape with a wing on each side?
Date of sighting: April 2, 2019
Location of sighting: Glenrowan, Australia
This amazingly beautiful UFO was seen over Australia yesterday. The UFO is not changing shape, but only fading in and out of our visual field. It has an electical field around it which is causing a blur every few moments. The UFO has a cube shape with two wings. We were lucky to have this eyewitness watching the skies for us in Glenrowan, otherwise this amazing evidence never would have come to light.
UFOs are everywhere, over every city, every country, every body of water in the world. So keep an eye out and post any catch to Youtube so I and others can find it.

UFO Fleet Hovering Over LAX Airport Area March 27, 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: March 27, 2019
Location of sighting: Los Angeles, California, USA
These UFOs were seen over Los Angeles near the LAX airport last week. The eyewitness is an experience person who often sees aircraft since they work for a company called Menzies Aviation...as seen on the side of the fuel truck in the video. The objects in the sky are dark black and hovering in place. They do strange fade in and out of focus. I don't believe its the cameras focus problem, but I do think its the UFO which is equipped with a camouflage shield that reflects the nearby colors of the sky and cloud. That shield is working off and on for some odd reason. I would guess that aliens accounted for our atmosphere when adjusting their shields, however probably did not take into account the depth of the air pollution in Los Angeles...which by the way, East Los Angeles is my place of birth, so yeah, I know its history with UFOs. My mom was there during the Battle of Los Angeles UFO sighting in the 1940s.

Mysterious UFO Flying Near A Secret Base Baffles US Military
Mysterious UFO Flying Near A Secret Base Baffles US Military
A UFO that fell near a top-secret military base has left the U.S. Air Force baffled after confirming to reporters that the object in question was not one of their planes. When residents in Anchorage, Alaska saw the UFO, they initially suspected the involvement of the local American base, but the Air Force stepped in to deny their participation.
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson spokeswoman Erin Eaton said the UFO sighting wasn’t linked to any experiment or test at the base. The base is the home of advanced stealth fighter jets and command planes.
She said that it did not look like any of their planes.
Federal Aviation Administration also confirmed that the object in the footage wasn’t an aircraft. FAA officials added that it had not received any reports of aviation concerns at the time.
However, director Peter Davidson of the National UFO Reporting Center in Washington said that the video showed a jet with a contrail behind it. He explained the high –altitude jet airliner usually appears to be falling when it is flying away from the camera. He said that the plane is in level flight, but parallax makes it look that it is falling.
As Yellowstone Awakens, Dr. Michio Kaku Warns That It Could “Literally Tear The Guts Out Of The United States Of America”
As Yellowstone Awakens, Dr. Michio Kaku Warns That It Could “Literally Tear The Guts Out Of The United States Of America”
One day it will happen. Scientists assure us that one day the absolutely massive Yellowstone supervolcano will once again experience a Category 8 eruption, and if it happened today it would “literally tear the guts out of the United States of America”.
That is why what has been happening at Yellowstone in recent months is so alarming. We know that the ground has been rising and that “a 465-mile-long piece of molten rock” is moving upwards directly under Yellowstone. And we also know that the major geysers at Yellowstone were more active last year than in any other year in any of our lifetimes.
Dr Kaku told Fox News: “Forget the image of Yogi Bear representing Yellowstone.
“We’re talking about a sleeping Godzilla underneath Yellowstone, that if it erupts in a maximum eruption called Category 8, it can literally tear the guts out of the United States of America.
“Instead of having 50 states of the Union, we would have 30 states of the Union.“
We live at a time when seismic activity has been increasing all over the world, and Yellowstone has also been exhibiting very unusual behavior.
“Unlike a meteor from outer space, where you get no warning whatsoever, we get warnings.
“If you see movies like Pompeii, you know that there are days, in fact, weeks of eruptions building up, rumbling inside, underneath the pocket of lava. “So there would be enough time, several weeks, to begin evacuation if and when such an unlikely event were to take place.”
But what if we have been ignoring the warnings that we have already been getting?
For example, Steamboat geyser erupted more times in 2018 than in any other year in history. The following comes from National Geographic…
The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory reports that Steamboat has now set a record by erupting a whopping 32 times in 2018, a personal best for the geyser for a single calendar year. Previously, this geyser made it as high as 29 paroxysms back in 1964.
Other nearby geysers have also been behaving fairly interestingly of late. Ear Spring Geyser, for example, has been pretty quiet since 1957, but it erupted spectacularly a few months back—and sprayed human garbage from the 1930s everywhere.
Prior to last year, there had not been an eruption of the Steamboat geyser for three and a half years.
In addition, the ground under Yellowstone has been steadily rising for the last few years, and the area was hit by 121 earthquakes in the month of December alone…
“In the area of Norris Geyser Basin, GPS data indicate a minor amount of uplift over the past few months, with a total uplift of about 2cm during 2018, also continuing the trend that has been ongoing since 2015.”
In the same Yellowstone update, the USGS revealed a total of 121 earthquakes were recorded in the Yellowstone area in December 2018 alone.
It is indeed possible that when Yellowstone finally erupts that we will get more of a warning than this.
But it is also possible that we will not.
When Yellowstone blows, life as you have known it will instantly be over. If you are not in the immediate kill zone, you will have an opportunity to try to survive, but it won’t be easy. One survivalist expert suggests that everyone should “head east as fast as you can”…
He added: “Zone one, which is a radius of 100 miles, could see 70,000 people die instantly.
“Zone two, which starts after 100 miles, would be covered in 10ft of volcanic ash at 450C.
“After the second zone, your chances of surviving increase, but still head east as fast as you can.
“Beyond zone six is where you would be the safest in the US for the short term, but the wind will greatly determine where ash falls.”
Personally, I don’t know if that is the best approach. The roads will be absolutely clogged, and there is no way that you are going to outrun the volcanic ash. If you get completely buried in volcanic ash in your vehicle, it will all be over.
Of course the truth is that if Yellowstone experiences a Category 8 eruption most Americans will eventually die no matter what they do. The following is an extended excerpt from one of my previous articles…
Hundreds of cubic miles of ash, rock and lava would be blasted into the atmosphere, and this would likely plunge much of the northern hemisphere into several days of complete darkness. Virtually everything within 100 miles of Yellowstone would be immediately killed, but a much more cruel fate would befall those that live in major cities outside of the immediate blast zone such as Salt Lake City and Denver.
Hot volcanic ash, rock and dust would rain down on those cities literally for weeks. In the end, it would be extremely difficult for anyone living in those communities to survive. In fact, it has been estimated that 90 percent of all people living within 600 miles of Yellowstone would be killed.
Experts project that such an eruption would dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away, and approximately two-thirds of the United States would suddenly become uninhabitable. The volcanic ash would severely contaminate most of our water supplies, and growing food in the middle of the country would become next to impossible.
In other words, it would be the end of our country as we know it today.
The rest of the planet, and this would especially be true for the northern hemisphere, would experience what is known as a “nuclear winter”. An extreme period of “global cooling” would take place, and temperatures around the world would fall by up to 20 degrees. Crops would fail all over the planet, and severe famine would sweep the globe.
In the end, billions could die.
Let us hope and pray that nothing like this happens any time soon. Those of you that regularly follow my work already know that I am far more concerned about an eruption of Mt. Rainier, and we should also keep a very, very close eye on Mt. Fuji in Japan.
As our planet becomes increasingly unstable, there will be unprecedented natural disasters in the years ahead, and multitudes of people will die in those disasters.
Unfortunately, most of the “experts” continue to assure the public that everything is going to be “just fine”, but meanwhile the shaking of our planet just continues to get even worse with each passing year.
WETENSCHAP“De ontdekking van de eeuw” binnen zijn vakgebied noemde geofysicus Jay Melosh van Purdue University het. Hij had het over een soort van fossielen-snapshot van de dag waarop bijna 66 miljoen jaar geleden een meteoriet insloeg op onze planeet. De gesteentelaag levert voor het eerst bewijs voor de theorie dat de meteoriet in één klap een einde maakte aan het bestaan van de dinosaurussen.
De aarde beefde zoals de moderne mens dat nooit nog ervaren heeft, vermoedelijk met een kracht van 10 of 11 op de schaal van Richter. Het regende vuur en gesteentes. 66 miljoen jaar geleden, aan het einde van het Krijt, werd bijna alle leven op onze planeet door de enorme inslag van een meteoriet uitgeroeid. De bekendste soort die eraan moest geloven: de dinosaurussen. Bekendste restant van de inslag: de Chicxulubkrater op het Mexicaanse schiereiland Yucatán.
Wetenschappers hebben onder leiding van Robert DePalma bewijzen van die fatale meteorieteninslag in Mexico ontdekt in een gesteentelaag in wat nu Noord-Dakota in de VS is, zo’n 3.000 km ten noorden van de krater. Ze vonden er al in 2014 vissen met gloeiend glas in de kieuwen, afkomstig van het brandende puin dat na de inslag hoog in de lucht werd geslingerd en daarna terug op aarde neerdaalde. Ze vonden ook verkoolde bomen, bewijs van de tsunami die na de inslag het land overspoelde en gesmolten barnsteen.
Op zijn beurt botste de Nederlander Jan Smit van de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam met zijn team op voetsporen van dinosaurussen, van net voor hun uitroeiing. Een van de voetafdrukken is afkomstig van een plantenetende Hadrosaurus, de andere van een vleesetende dino, mogelijk een kleine Tyrannosaurus Rex. “Definitief bewijs dat de dinosaurussen nog leefden op het moment van de inslag”, aldus Smit. “Ze liepen rond en zaten elkaar na” op het ogenblik dat ze weggevaagd werden door een helse vloedgolf. Maar er was méér dan alleen de dino’s. De tsunami-afzetting bevat ook mierennesten, wespennesten, kwetsbare bewaarde bladeren, en vissen die bewaard bleven zoals ze waren op het moment van hun overlijden.
Jay Melosh maakte geen deel uit van het onderzoeksteam, maar deed wel redactiewerk voor het wetenschappelijke artikel dat vandaag verscheen in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Hij is danig onder de indruk. “Dit is de dodelijke klap bewaard op één bepaalde site, dit is spectaculair”, zei de specialist. Hij noemde het zelfs de “ontdekking van de eeuw” binnen zijn vakgebied.
Andere experts hebben kritiek op het feit dat de bewuste site - die zich uitstrekt over de twee Dakota’s, Wyoming en Montana - afgeschermd wordt voor onderzoekers van buitenaf. Zij krijgen nauwelijks of geen toegang tot de beroemde Hell Creek-formatie, waar al die interessante fossielen als stille getuigen van de meteorieteninslag liggen. Het is een fossielenschat met resten van dinosaurussen, zoogdieren, reptielen en vissen, allemaal dieren die tussen 65 en 70 miljoen jaren geleden vastzaten in klei en gesteentes. Volgens Jan Smit is die beperkte toegang nodig als bescherming tegen plunderaars.
Ook kreeg Robert DePalma kritiek omdat hij in The New Yorker had gesproken over een heus dinokerkhof. DePalma’s collega, Jan Smit, heeft dat al “overdreven” genoemd, maar bevestigde dat de fossielenrijkdom enorm is.
WETENSCHAPArcheologen hebben in Israël voor het eerst bewijs bovengespit van het historische bestaan van de Bijbelse koning Josia. Het gaat om een zeldzame zegel in klei, gevonden onder een parkeerterrein.
Op de zegel staat in het oud-Hebreeuws de naam van Nathan-Melech, een hoge pief in Josia’s koninkrijk in Juda dat zich situeerde van 641 tot 609 voor Christus. Het Oude Testament vermeldt koning Josia uitvoerig. Het letterlijke opschrift van de zegel: “van Nathan-Melech, dienaar van de koning”, een verwijzing naar Josia. De naam van de hoveling komt zelf maar één keer voor in de Bijbel, in 2 Koningen.
Het artefact van amper 1 centimeter werd gevonden op een archeologische site City of David, waar zich vermoedelijk de oude ruïnes bevinden van een plaats die de Babyloniërs tijdens de verwoesting van Jeruzalem in 586 voor Christus platbrandden.

Methaangas gemeten op Mars, maar is het een teken van leven? - HLN.be
Methaangas gemeten op Mars, maar is het een teken van leven? - HLN.be
Spoiler: het is niet afkomstig van aliens
WETENSCHAPNadat de Marsrover Curiosity van NASA in 2011 gelanceerd werd richting Mars, registreerde het wagentje er regelmatig vlagen van methaangas in de atmosfeer. Verwarrend, want het organisch materiaal is meestal een teken van (buitenaards) leven. Nu weten onderzoekers eindelijk waar het methaangas op de rode planeet vandaan kan komen: gesmolten ijskristallen.
In 2009 suggereerden enkele metingen vanop de aarde dat er op Mars drie gebieden waren met vrij hoge concentraties van methaangas. Wetenschappers reageerden voorzichtig verrukt, omdat 99 procent van al het methaangas op aarde door levende organismen wordt geproduceerd, door koeien bijvoorbeeld.
Vervolgens landde de Curiosity Rover in 2011 op de rode planeet en ging die zelf metingen ter plaatse uitvoeren. Dat gebeurde aan de hand van bodemmonsters die geanalyseerd werden op teken van leven. De eerste deeltjes methaangas die de Marsrover vond, waren eerder verwaarloosbaar.
Maar in 2013 mat de Marsrover plots een aanzienlijke stijging van methaan in de lucht. Die stijging hield minstens twee maanden aan. Vermoedelijk had het iets te maken met de seizoenen, zo dachten de onderzoekers op aarde. Dat vermoeden werd bevestigd de jaren die daarop volgden, want op het einde van de winter in het zuidelijk halfrond van de planeet, werd keer op keer een piek op Mars gemeten.
Is dat methaangas dan afkomstig van organische verbindingen, biologische bronnen - levende organismen zeg maar - of niet? Methaangas werd regelmatig gemeten, maar niemand kon achterhalen waar het gas vandaan kwam. De metingen van het marswagentje zaaiden vooral verwarring. Daarom snelde het Europees Ruimtevaartagentschap (ESA) te hulp.

Samenwerking
De Mars Express was een onbemande ruimtemissie naar de planeet Mars, een project van het Europese Ruimtevaartagentschap (ESA). Dankzij die missie worden de metingen van de Curiosity nu voor het eerst bevestigd. Ook de Mars Express observeerde de atmosfeer van de rode planeet en de sonde nam eenzelfde stijging van methaangas waar in 2013. Dat zegt Marco Guiranna, hoofdonderzoeker van het Italiaanse Instituto Nazionale di Astrofisica in Rome.
“Terwijl eerdere observaties, waaronder die van Curiosity, bekritiseerd werden, maakt deze eerste onafhankelijke bevestiging de resultaten een pak geloofwaardiger”, aldus Guiaranna. Bovendien verklaart het team van Guiaranna meteen waar de boertjes methaangas van Mars vandaan kwamen.
Permafrost
Zoals verwacht, is het methaangas vermoedelijk afkomstig van permafrost. De koude ondergrond van Mars zou methaangas vasthouden, maar door “een meteorietinslag of temperatuurschommelingen” kan het ijs gedeeltelijk smelten waardoor methaangas ontsnapt.

WETENSCHAP“Vreselijk”, noemt NASA India’s geslaagde test om een satelliet in een baan om de aarde neer te halen. De Amerikanen vrezen dat de 400 brokstukken die nu in de ruimte rondzweven het Internationaal Ruimtestation ISS kunnen bedreigen. Dat zegt directeur-generaal Jim Bridenstine van NASA.
India kondigde vijf dagen geleden erg trots zijn succesvolle poging om een satelliet aan flarden te schieten aan. Intussen zijn er 400 brokstukken na de vernietiging geteld, die volgens Bridenstine niet allemaal te volgen zijn.
“Wij volgen objecten van tien centimeter of groter, en wij hebben er ongeveer 60 geteld”, zei de NASA-topman.
De satelliet is in een relatief lage baan op 300 km hoogte uitgeschakeld, ver onder die van het ISS (400 km) en van het merendeel van de kunstmanen die rondom onze planeet wentelen. Maar 24 stukken zijn boven ISS geraakt, zei Jim Bridenstine.
“Dat is een vreselijk, vreselijk iets om een evenement op te zetten dat puin naar een hoogtepunt stuurt dat boven het internationale ruimtestation gaat”, zei hij. Bridenstine voegde eraan toe: “Dat soort activiteit is niet verenigbaar met de toekomst van de bemande ruimtevluchten, het is onaanvaardbaar”.
Als gevolg van de Indiase test is het risico op een botsing met het ISS op tien dagen tijd met 44 procent gestegen, zei Bridenstine. Dat risico zal wel snel afnemen, omdat het merendeel van het schroot wellicht zal opbranden in de atmosfeer.
Het Amerikaanse leger houdt objecten in de ruimte in het oog om het risico van botsingen met het ISS en met satellieten in te schatten. Zo volgen ze 23.000 objecten groter dan tien centimeter. Tienduizend daarvan zijn brokstukken waarvan bijna 3.000 het gevolg zijn van een Chinese anti-satelliettest in 2007 met een kunstmaan op 860 km hoogte.
Het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken van India zei in een reactie dat de test in de lagere atmosfeer werd uitgevoerd om ervoor te zorgen dat er geen ruimteschroot zou zijn. “Wat er toch zou zijn veroorzaakt aan puin zal binnen enkele weken vergaan en terugvallen op de aarde”, klonk het.
Zelfs botsingen met kleine objecten kunnen catastrofaal zijn in de ruimte. Dat komt grotendeels door de snelheid waarmee ruimtevaartuigen in een baan om de aarde bewegen. Dat is minimum 7,8 km per seconde.

Journalist en schrijver legt in dit filmpje uit waarom Atlantis echt heeft bestaan
Journalist en schrijver legt in dit filmpje uit waarom Atlantis echt heeft bestaan
De Griekse filosoof Plato gaf ons het verhaal over Atlantis, een hoogontwikkelde beschaving die gigantische bouwwerken heeft neergezet en uiteindelijk werd verzwolgen door de golven.
Historici en wetenschappers zeggen dat het verhaal van Plato verzonnen is om een bepaald filosofisch of politiek punt te maken.
“Waarom zouden zij zeggen dat het verhaal verzonnen is?” vraagt journalist en schrijver Graham Hancock zich af. “Plato heeft herhaaldelijk gezegd dat het een waargebeurd verhaal is.”
Muren
Hij merkt op dat Plato precies vertelt wanneer Atlantis is vernietigd: 9000 jaar voor Solon, de eerste beroemde politicus van Athene.
“Rond 600 voor Christus bracht Solon een bezoek aan Egypte, waar priesters van een tempel in Sais hem het verhaal over Atlantis vertelden,” zegt Hancock.
“Ze zeiden dat het op de muren van de tempel was geschreven,” vervolgt hij.
Catastrofale periode
Solon vroeg de priesters wanneer deze grootse beschaving was vernietigd, waarop ze zeiden: ‘9000 jaar geleden’.
“Dat is 11.600 jaar geleden,” legt Hancock uit. “Dat was een catastrofale periode in de geologische geschiedenis.”
Smelten
Hij wijst erop dat deze periode ook wel meltwater pulse 1b (MWP1b) wordt genoemd omdat de zeespiegel toen drastisch steeg als gevolg van het smelten van de ijsmassa op Noord-Amerika en Noord-Europa.
Als Plato dit allemaal verzonnen heeft, hoe kan het dan dat hij precies goed zat?
Scientists have recorded a mysterious hum coming from deep inside the Earth and it had better bloody not be those worms from Tremors.
Scientists have captured a mysterious hum coming from deep inside the Earth, but they are still no closer to working out what it is.
It has long been known that the Earth constantly generates a low-frequency vibrational signal.
The first attempt to detect this hum was made in 1959, but it wasn't until 1998 that scientists finally proved its existence.
Since then, there have been hundreds of attempts to record the Earth's hum, but they have all been made using seismometers on land.
Hundreds of attempts have been made to record the sound since then using land based seismometers and now scientists have taken to the bottom of the sea to record the sound, The Mirrorreports.
The researchers first collected data from 57 seismometer stations located at the base of the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, between 2012 and 2013.
Now researchers have captured the hum for the first time using seismic instruments at the bottom of the sea.
The researchers first gathered data from 57 seismometer stations located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, between 2012 and 2013.
They then applied a combination of techniques to remove interference from ocean infragravity waves, currents and electronic glitches, and corrected for the signal generated by any earthquakes.
Eventually, they were able to determine that the Earth's natural vibration peaks at several frequencies between 2.9 and 4.5 millihertz.
These vibrations can't be heard by people, because they are approximately 10,000 times smaller than the lower hearing threshold of the human ear (20 hertz).
However, the fact that they have been detected at the bottom of the ocean, and around 70% of the planet's surface is covered by water, suggests that the hum is present across the entire globe.
The research team, led by Martha Deen at the Paris Institute of Earth Physics, hopes the new data will provide clues as to the source of the hum.
Seismologists have proposed many different theories to explain the continuous vibration - from atmospheric disturbances to ocean waves moving over the sea floor.
However, the study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, concludes that these theories can only explain part of the vibration.
Deen and her co-authors believe the data could also help scientists map the interior of Earth with more detail and accuracy than ever before.
Scientists traditionally study the Earth's interior during earthquakes, but this mean they are severely limited to specific times and areas where quakes commonly occur.
Using the hum signal as a source of seismic waves would avoid this problem, because it is generated continuously, and can be detected across the planet's surface.
Wetenschappers leggen mysterieus gebrom uit het diepste van de aarde vast, maar niemand weet wat het is
Wetenschappers leggen mysterieus gebrom uit het diepste van de aarde vast, maar niemand weet wat het is
Wetenschappers hebben een mysterieus gebrom vastgelegd dat uit het diepste van de aarde komt. Ze hebben alleen geen idee wat het is.
Het is al lange tijd bekend dat de aarde continu een laagfrequent geluid voortbrengt. In 1959 werd voor het eerst geprobeerd dit brommende geluid vast te leggen, maar pas in 1998 lukte dat.
Onderzoekers zijn er nu voor het eerst in geslaagd om het vreemde geluid vast te leggen met behulp van seismische instrumenten op de zeebodem.
Piekt
Ze verzamelden tussen 2012 en 2013 gegevens van 57 seismometers in de Indische Oceaan, ten oosten van Madagaskar.
Vervolgens werden alle achtergrondgeluiden verwijderd door middel van een combinatie van verschillende technieken.
Uiteindelijk stelden ze vast dat de natuurlijke trillingsfrequentie van de aarde piekt tussen 2,9 en 4,5 millihertz.
Overal ter wereld
Deze trillingen kunnen niet door mensen worden gehoord aangezien het menselijk gehoor in staat is om frequenties vanaf 20 hertz waar te nemen.
Gezien het feit dat ze op de bodem van de oceaan zijn gemeten, en ongeveer 70 procent van het planeetoppervlak bedekt is met water, lijkt het erop dat het gebrom overal ter wereld kan worden gehoord.
Het onderzoeksteam, dat geleid wordt door Martha Deen van het Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, hoopt dat de nieuwe gegevens kunnen worden gebruikt om de bron van het geluid te achterhalen.
Gedeeltelijk
Seismologen hebben verschillende theorieën bedacht om de trilling te kunnen verklaren, variërend van atmosferische storingen tot oceaangolven die over de zeebodem bewegen.
De nieuwe studie, gepubliceerd in Geophysical Research Letters, concludeert echter dat deze theorieën de trilling slechts gedeeltelijk kunnen verklaren.
VREEMDE DINGEN IN DE LUCHT EN OP DE GROND ( VIDEO )
VREEMDE DINGEN IN DE LUCHT EN OP DE GROND ( VIDEO )
Tot op de dag van vandaag doen autoriteiten er alles aan om vreemde dingen die men in de lucht ziet te verklaren als bijvoorbeeld ballonnen.
Zelfs waarnemingen van getrainde piloten worden afgedaan als gezichtsbedrog en het beste wat NASA kan bedenken is de camera bij het ISS uitzetten als er weer eens een ufo in beeld komt.
Venezuela is de laatste tijd regelmatig in het nieuws, maar niet vanwege het volgende verhaal dat zeker de moeite waard is.
Toen ze weer op de terugweg waren zag Rodriguez een licht waarvan hij eerst dacht dat het de zon was, maar realiseerde zich toen dat die zich op een andere positie bevond en bovendien lager aan de hemel.
Volgens het verhaal landde dit object, maar was Rodriguez te bang om te gaan kijken en was hij allang blij dat hij iets had kunnen vastleggen met zijn telefoon.
Hij zegt dat dit type ufo vrij bekend is in Zuid Amerika en wanneer men er dicht bij komt ziet het eruit als een fel oranje licht. Het is te fel om details te kunnen ontwaren en wanneer het object zich hoger in de lucht bevindt, kan het gemakkelijk worden aangezien voor de zon.
Verder zegt hij dat dit type ruimteschip hoort bij een buitenaards ras dat bijna goddelijk is. Zij kwamen hier in de hoop om de mensheid een vreselijke toekomst te kunnen besparen en zijn in de loop der jaren hier diverse keren geweest om mensen te ontvoeren en hen dan te vertellen dat er verschillende voor de mensheid dramatische scenario’s zich kunnen ontvouwen in de toekomst.
Zij hadden de hoop door enkele mensen in te lichten dat ze dit soort vreselijke scenario’s zouden kunnen voorkomen, maar volgens Scott hadden ze dit mis. De mensen die ze hadden ontvoerd waren te bang en hadden in het dagelijks leven totaal geen invloed of een groot bereik.
Wat dat betreft hadden ze beter ons kunnen ontvoeren, want dan hadden wij in ieder geval verslag uit kunnen brengen.
Op een andere website werd deze week een verhaal gepubliceerd dat zich weliswaar in 2014 afspeelde, maar desalniettemin fascinerend is.
Het speelt zich ook niet af in de lucht, maar op de grond waar een auto wordt achtervolgd door een orb.
Zoals in de volgende video wordt uitgelegd is het beslist geen reflectie of iets dergelijks, maar beweegt het onafhankelijk van de auto en volgt deze.
Wat het ook moge zijn, de orb bevindt zich onder één of andere intelligente besturing. Tips over wat dit zou kunnen zijn, zijn altijd welkom.
Enkele weken geleden vloog een ambulance helikopter, Mercy Air 21, een kilometer of 25 ten westen van Las Vegas toen de piloot een vreemd object waarnam in de lucht.
Hij meldde dit aan de verkeersleiding die aangaf niets te kunnen zien op hun radarscherm, waarop de piloot antwoordde dat hij het object alleen kon zien via zijn nachtkijker. De verkeersleider was nogal onder de indruk klaarblijkelijk want die antwoordde met: “that’s awesome”, dat is indrukwekkend.
In de volgende video van Tyler van Secureteam is te zien en horen hoe dat verhaal is afgelopen. Hoe eigenlijk altijd een soort standaard script wordt gevolgd om het publiek wijs te maken dat er helemaal niets aan de hand is.
In het tweede deel van de video een mooi voorbeeld van hoe NASA omgaat met ufo's die onuitgenodigd plotseling in beeld verschijnen bij het ISS ruimtestation.
De plek waar bovenstaand incident met de helikopter plaatsvond is eveneens vlakbij Nellis Airforce Base, waar Steven Barrone regelmatig opnames maakt van ufo’s.
Ter illustratie hierna een klein deel uit een eerder artikel en als je dat hebt gezien, dan weet je dat die helikopterpiloot wel degelijk een ufo heeft waargenomen:
Iemand die op een bijzondere plek woont waar altijd wat schijnt te gebeuren is de Amerikaan Steven Barone waarover wij al eerder schreven.
De man woont ongeveer naast een beroemde Amerikaanse luchtmachtbasis, Nellis Airforce Base. Het vliegveld waarvan wordt gezegd dat het ook de aardse thuisbasis is van een buitenaards ras, The Tall White Aliens.
Meerdere keren heeft Steven op die locatie al bijzondere opnames kunnen maken en zo ook dit keer.
Hij zegt er zelf het volgende over:
“Wat was dit een prachtig gezicht. Ik zag een licht aan de hemel net boven de berg op slechts een paar kilometer van mijn huis. Ik zag onmiddellijk dat het een UFO was en begon met filmen.
Ik zag de UFO net voordat deze begon met afdalen en uiteindelijk landen. Terwijl het aan de landing begon, gingen de lichten uit, maar er was genoeg maanlicht zodat ik het nog steeds in de lens van de camera kon zien.
Het bleef enige tijd hangen in het duister aan de voet van de berg en uiteindelijk was het weer even te zien.
Minuten later verscheen het weer net boven het dak van een gebouw dat je wel vaker tegenkomt in mijn video’s.
Aan het eind, toen het object vertrok, kon je goed zien dat het niet één, maar twee UFO’s waren. Ik kon het nog een paar seconden waarnemen op dezelfde plek als waar het landde en toen verdween het weer.
Patricia Straat served as co-experimenter on one of the most controversial experiments ever sent to Mars: the Labeled Release instrument on the Viking Mars landers. The experiment’s principal investigator, Gilbert Levin, insists to this day that the project found extraterrestrial life. Most scientists doubt this interpretation, but the issue has never been fully settled.
When Viking 1 and 2 touched down on Mars in 1976, each carried several instruments to study the planet and look for signs of life. The Labeled Release experiment mixed small samples of Martian soil with drops of water containing a nutrient solution and some radioactive carbon. The instrument then sampled the atmosphere of its internal chamber. If it detected the radioactive carbon, the thinking went, then microorganisms in the soil must have metabolized the nutrients and emitted the carbon. The air around a control version, in contrast, heated up to temperatures thought to kill microbes, should not have any radioactive carbon.
And that is essentially what the investigators found—yet Viking’s other experiments saw no signs of life or of the organic compounds needed to support life. Many scientists concluded that the results were too good to believe and that the findings might be explained by reactive chemicals such as perchlorates in the Martian soil.
Now Straat has published a memoir, To Mars with Love, telling the inside story of this chapter in space history (available at www.tomarswithlove.com). Scientific American spoke with Straat about the tumultuous process of planning the experiment and analyzing its results, and about the risks of Mars exploration if life does exist on the red planet.
[An edited transcript of the conversation follows.]
Were you always interested in space?
By the time I was 12, I could identify all the major constellations in the region where I grew up.
I watched the moon landing on television in 1969, and that really turned me on. At the time I was an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University working in molecular biology and enzyme systems, which was a long cry from anything involved in space. I decided I wanted to make a career move.
How did you get involved in Viking?
It was 1970 and Gil Levin, who designed the Labeled Release life detection experiment, heard I was considering a move and called me for an interview. At the time I was not really interested in leaving academia for private industry. But I met Gil and found him absolutely fascinating. He had just found out that his experiment had been selected by NASA to be sent to Mars, and he wanted someone to implement that experiment because he had a company to run. All my friends thought it was a suicidal career move, but it just sounded so fascinating.
What was the process like to develop the Labeled Release experiment?
It was a major, major, major effort. For the first few years we worked on refining the science and worked with the engineers developing the hardware, testing it as we went along.
The first test of all three life detection experiments in a flight instrument occurred in the fall of 1973. All three failed. That started a major crisis. It was nonstop meetings, and we worked 24/7 on fixing and testing the hardware to get it ready for launch. We were still analyzing data as the biology instrument was sent to the Cape [Cape Canaveral, Fla.] for the launch.
Viking launched in 1975 and landed on Mars in 1976. What was that like?
I went out to [the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in] California for the landing and half expected it to crash. The whole team was there. The lander was released from the orbiter, maybe about midnight or so, and it came in by parachute. We had a large TV screen that we could watch with columns of numbers on it, and the last column showed the altitude of the lander above the surface of Mars. I clearly remember watching those numbers flash by. As the lander approached the surface, the numbers I saw were 1,300 feet, 600 feet, 50 feet, then there was absolute dead silence. I thought to myself, “Surely it crashed.” All of a sudden over the loudspeaker came “We have touchdown.” It was just so thrilling. Everybody stood still for a second and then there were cheers all over JPL. I have tried to convey this excitement in my book.
What are your memories of when the first results started coming in?
The Labeled Release experiment started on sol 10 [Viking’s 10th Martian day on the planet]. The first data came in around 7:30 in the evening. I was at the computer surrounded by Gil Levin and several other team members. I worked the keyboard and hit the print button. Then the computer printed the data points from the first nine hours of data. I looked at it and said, “Oh my God, it’s positive.” Not only was the instrument working, but the results were positive. That was quite a thrill. We rounded up the entire biology team to try to understand what it meant, because there was a press conference the next morning where we would report these results.
Were most of the team members thinking you’d found life?
Oh no. We weren’t convinced either. The experiment consisted of two parts: one was adding micronutrients to the active soil sample; the second involved heat-sterilizing a duplicate sample of the soil before adding the nutrients to theoretically kill any microbes that might be there. The difference between an active sample and the heat-sterilized control sample would define a positive response. So we had to wait for the next cycle, another 15 sols downstream, before we ran the control. The surprise was that the control was negative. That’s when the controversy really started.
The results met the pre-mission definition of a positive life response. But of course as soon as we got it everyone came up with alternative proposals to account for the results nonbiologically.
What did you think at this point?
I was pretty astounded, but very interested in these nonbiological hypotheses. What we could say at the time was that the result was consistent with a life response. I wasn’t ready to say we had a life response, especially not in view of all the objections.
We tried to think of some way to distinguish whether it was a biological or chemical response. We had heat-sterilized the control sample at 160 degrees centigrade. The suggestion came up that if we could somehow lower the sterilization temperature, we might enhance the biological explanation. If 50 degrees, say, killed the active response, that would be a strong indication that the positive response had been biological. Very few chemicals are destroyed by 50 degrees centigrade. However, we would expect such a low temperature to have a significant effect on Mars microbes because Mars is a much colder environment than Earth.
Gil Levin has been outspoken in saying that the LR experiment found life on Mars. Do you agree?
Initially I didn’t. In the mid-’90s Gil decided that since nobody had found a suitable nonbiological agent, there was enough evidence to say we had discovered life on Mars. I didn’t agree with him. But when, four or five years later, more and more evidence was found for trace amounts of water on Mars, I began to agree that yes, we did find microbial life. The caveat is the lack of organic molecules. Some complex organics have been found on Mars, but they haven’t found simple organics like alanine and glycine [presumably required by life].
What do you think of the Mars missions that have followed Viking?
I’m disappointed that recent missions have not looked for life. They’ve studied the environment and its potential as a habitat. I just don’t understand it. They should have followed through with a second Viking mission to verify and further characterize the positive Labeled Release results.
Now they’re talking about Mars sample return missions and manned missions to Mars. While very exciting, I am concerned about the back-contamination problem. You can’t send people to Mars and return them without returning Mars soil to Earth. And it’s certainly a possibility that life does exist on Mars, whether or not the Labeled Release experiment found it. People really need to bear that in mind when they plan future missions. I think until we know more we should be very cautious about returning a sample.
What do you make of the continued controversy over your experiment’s findings?
I’d say it’s exciting. We might believe that we discovered life on Mars, but we won’t know the true answer for a long time.I would like to see more life detection experiments sent to Mars soon to either prove it or disprove it.
As someone who uses social media a lot, I get a great deal of feedback from people wishing to share with me their experiences of the weird kind. Those experiences range from the vaguely odd to the downright sinister. The account I’m going to share with you today definitely falls into the sinister category. On April 28, 2018, I got the following communication from someone who preferred not to use their real name. It reads as follows: “I’m 55 years old and have known about MIBsince the 70s. Personally, the majority of the visits are, in my opinion, demonically orchestrated. I have learned, due to my belief system, not to make these events complicated. It is exactly what it portrays itself to be! Having the gift of discernment reveals what these hybrids are, that is evil! I call the feelings and smells are all ‘symptoms’ of a demonic encounter! If you agree with this, then the obvious next conclusion is that these so-called ‘aliens’ are also demonic and what does the demonic dwell in? They dwell in shadows! They do not want to found out!
“UFO encounters out them and their hybrids and satanic agendas. After all, it is about soul collecting, is it not? I reside on the West Coast of Lake Michigan. My front door faces directly 8 miles from an active nuclear power plant that is, within months, being decommissioned. This process can take up to 20 years. I live in the ‘hot zone’ range of this very old plant. For three years, due to living on a hill with a spectacular view of the open sky, I have witnessed UFO activity coming directly from the nuclear power plant and fly slowly right over my head. With incredible lighting and maneuvers like your Father mentioned to you. Including complete ‘stand still hoovering.’ I have also felt that I have been discovered witnessing this and have had some type of acknowledgment from the crafts. It hard to explain. I just know they know that I see them! Usually I witness them around 11:00 p.m. and beyond.
“Anyhow, something different happened last August, 2017. As I stated, I live on a hill with a steep drop off approximately 30 feet from my door. This is a brand new apartment complex and a very short road runs in front of my back patio door. I should have originally said I’m witnessing these events from my back patio. The road runs to the right for about 100 feet and turns right to the front of the complex. Around 1:00 a.m. I felt compelled to go out unto my patio and look right. Now below the hill is nothing but woods. I saw 3 very tall, slender men come up the hill, unto the road, in perfect formation, walking extremely slow, dressed completely the same, all in black and suddenly stop!
“All 3 turned their heads directly towards me and just stood still! It seemed like minutes but I don’t think it was. I actually felt an electric charge go from my feet, straight up my back up to my head. Not only that, the fear I felt and also a sickness in my stomach was nothing I have felt EVER in my lifetime. I knew they were EVIL. They slowly moved their heads in complete synchronized fashion forward and slowly, and I mean slowly, continued to walk forward and disappeared from sight. I know exactly what i just witnessed! That was pure evil. Now, with that being said, I don’t know if it was a warning, a visit, or what. I have not spoken about this event until now! Summer is almost here again and I wonder what I will witness.”
