Torpedo looking UFO flying over Ohio filmed by plane passenger
Torpedo looking UFO flying over Ohio filmed by plane passenger
A fast flying UFO has been filmed by a plane passenger at the moment the plane was at an altitude of 30,000 feet.
Plane passenger said "Taking video and pictures from 30,000 + feet is my favorite thing to do while flying and on May 3, 2019, I happen to catch this torpedo looking UFO."
"As you can see it has no wings or engines, heading west very very fast under the clouds/radar."
"I believe it was Imperial Ohio but I would have calculate the time we left California and the time of my video."
Researchers have discovered water in tiny dust particles from asteroid Itokawa. Japan’s Hayabusa spacecraft brought the asteroid dust to Earth in 2010.
Asteroid Itokawa is the much-battered remnant of a larger parent body. The samples studied by Jin and Bose came from the feature called the Muses Sea, which is the smooth area in the middle of Itokawa.
Two cosmochemists have made the first-ever measurements of water in dust grains from the surface of an asteroid. The samples came from asteroid Itokawa and were collected by the Japanese space probeHayabusa.
The team’s findings suggest that as much as half of our planet’s ocean water could have arrived via impacts by similar asteroids early in Earth’s history.
Ziliang Jin is a postdoctoral scholar in Arizona State University’s School of Earth and Space Exploration and lead author on the paper published May 1, 2019, in Science Advances. Jin said in a statement:
We found the samples we examined were enriched in water compared to the average for inner solar system objects.
The scientists worked with samples provided by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). In 2005, the Hayabusa spacecraft (Japanese for falcon) collected a small amount of dust from the Itokawa surface and delivered it to Earth five years later in June 2010. The samples that the researchers analyzed were each about half the thickness of a human hair.
The Itokawa particles studied by Jin and Bose are tiny: for comparison, a human hair is 100 to 500 microns in diameter.
Maitrayee Bose, Assistant Professor of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University is the study’s co-author. She said:
To figure out if asteroids like Itokawa were the source of water on Earth, we looked at the ratio of two forms – or isotopes – of hydrogen: hydrogen and deuterium. The planetary science community uses hydrogen as a proxy for water – which is made from two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It uses the ratio of deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) as a type of fingerprint to make connections between planetary bodies and question how the different objects received their water.
Ziliang and I found that Itokawa and Earth have the same D/H ratio, which suggests that they share a common source of water. Some objects, comets and asteroids from the outer solar system, have high D/H ratios, and if they collided with Earth and provided water, then our planet’s D/H ratio would be much higher. But we don’t see that. This led us to conclude that Earth got its water from Itokawa-like asteroids.
The measurements revealed the samples were unexpectedly rich in water. They also suggest, said Bose, that even nominally dry asteroids such as Itokawa may in fact harbor more water than scientists have assumed. Bose said:
Our results support the idea that several Itokawa-like bodies may have collided with the proto-Earth and provided water. These small bodies may be considered the fundamental building blocks of planets, bringing water and other materials like organics to the planets.
Ziliang Jin (left) and Maitrayee Bose prepare Itokawa samples for analysis.
Asteroid Itokawa is more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) long and between 700 – 1,000 feet (213 – 305 meters) wide, roughly 10 times the size of a football field. It has a kind of peanut shape, like a pair of rubble piles crunched together. Itokawa circles the sun every 18 months at an average distance of 1.3 times the Earth-sun distance. Part of Itokawa’s path brings it inside Earth’s orbit, and at farthest, it sweeps out a little beyond that of Mars.
Itokawa is the remnant of a parent body that was at least 12 miles (19 km) wide, said the researchers. The parent body suffered several large shocks from impacts, with one final shattering event that broke it apart. In the aftermath, two of the fragments merged and formed today’s Itokawa, which reached its current size and shape about 8 million years ago.
Bottom line: Researchers have discovered water in tiny dust particles from asteroid Itokawa.
NASA believes exoplanets like TRAPPIST-1f could have the right conditions for liquid water, meaning they could support life.

Whether you grew up in the '60s under a cloud of Area 51 conspiracies or you were a '90s alternative kid with a die-hard love ofDavid Duchovny, you've probably entertained theories aboutalien life.
But turns out, you're not alone. (In your wild theorizing, that is, not "not alone in the universe." We could very well be the only ones here, so if you're the last one to survive, please turn out the lights.)
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (also known as SETI) has been a serious pursuit of modern scientists as far back as the early 1900s, when Guglielmo Marconi first claimed to pick up radio signals "seeming to come from beyond the Earth." (Nikolai Tesla suggested they could be from Mars -- thanks, Nik.)
Over the years, the search has only intensified.
On this week's episode of Watch This Space, we take a look at the entirely scientific, entirely credible search for extraterrestrial intelligence being undertaken by scientists, astronomers and researchers around the world.
So, failing some kind of alien mothership landing on our planet, how do we search for proof? There's a few key ways to do it.
Messages from afar
Just like Marconi imagined, it's possible that we could pick up radio signals from distant planets and finally find out the truth about our (very, very distant) neighbours. Back in 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman was picking through datafrom Ohio's "Big Ear" radio telescope when he found a radio signal lasting roughly 1 minute. Its origin still remains a mystery, but it's known as the "WOW Signal" for the word Ehman wrote in the margins of his reading printout.
The California-based SETI Institute is continuing this work. One of the leading agencies in the field of SETI research, the SETI Institute has a team of more than 80 researchers working across fields such as astronomy and astrobiology, and they continue to search for radio signals using their Allen Telescope Arraylocated in California's Cascade Mountains. The Institute says we could well find signs of extraterrestrial intelligence in the next two decades.
Exoplanets
So how do we choose where to point our telescopes? Well, the most likely candidates for life outside our solar system are exoplanets -- they're planets that orbit stars like our sun where conditions (such as the availability of surface water) could make them ripe for life.
The now-retired Kepler Space Telescope and the new Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have hunted out these exoplanets by pointing toward stars and looking for dips in their brightness. If a star is bright and then dims before becoming bright again, it could be a sign that a planet is orbiting that star. We've found hundreds of exoplanets this way, including a raft of Earth-like planets that could well support life.
Secret programs and wild conspiracies
It wouldn't be a search for alien life if we didn't look at the crazy programs launched by government agencies over the years.
Back in 2017, the New York Times revealed that the Pentagon had been working on a secret UFO program, funded to the tune of $22 million by the federal government. While the Department of Defense decided to defund the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program in 2012, it reportedly still exists.
Then in April 2019, Politico reported that the US Navy is working on procedures for reporting unidentified aircraft, though the Navy said it wouldn't be making the results of this program public.
While the secret details of Area 51 have now been declassified and many conspiracy theories remain just that -- theories -- there are still plenty of organisations showing a keen interest in what lies beyond our solar system. All that's left to do is find what's out there.
Pluto’s orbit is very elongated. Right now, it’s in a part of its orbit where its distance from the sun is steadily increasing. That fact is devastating its atmosphere.
The spectacular layers of blue haze in Pluto’s atmosphere, captured by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft.
At the time, astronomers had no way of knowing what dramatic changes were in store for the little world’s thin envelope of nitrogen, methane and hydrocarbons.
A cosmic coincidence
By a cosmic coincidence, the last decades of the 20th century and first decades of the 21st also saw a lucky alignment of Earth, Pluto and the dense stellar fields of the distant centre of the Milky Way.
This animation combines various observations of Pluto over the course of several decades. Image via NASA.
This coincidence means Pluto passes relatively often between us and a background star. When this happens, its shadow falls on Earth, an event astronomers refer to as an occultation.
During an occultation, any observatory that happens to lie within the path of the shadow can watch the star seem to disappear as Pluto passes in front of it, and then to reappear as the planetary alignments shift. For any given place on Earth’s surface, a Pluto occultation lasts a couple of minutes at most.
The technique of occultations has been widely used to study the orbits, rings, moons, shapes and atmospheres of the worlds of the outer solar system, including asteroids, comets, planets and dwarf planets.
By comparing what observers see at different locations on Earth, the size and shape of the occulting world can be worked out. If the object has an atmosphere, then for a few brief seconds as the starlight winks out and then comes back on, the starlight can be altered by absorption and refraction as it passes through the planetary atmosphere.
Since the first successful occultation measurements in the 1980s, a succession of observations have established increasingly precise measures of Pluto’s radius, as well as continually sharpening our understanding of the temperature and pressure of its atmosphere.
Long orbit and seasons
Like Earth, Pluto has a seasonal cycle due to the inclination of its poles to the plane of its orbit. Over the course of Pluto’s long year – equivalent to 248 Earth years – first the north pole and then the south pole are angled toward the distant sun.
A drawing of the solar system shows Pluto’s tilted orbit, which is also more elliptical than that of the planets.
But unlike Earth, Pluto’s orbit is stretched into an extreme elliptical shape. Its orbit is so elongated that its distance from the sun varies from 4.4 to 7.4 billion kilometers [2.7 to 4.6 billion miles] (30 to 50 times as far as the Earth-sun distance).
By contrast, Earth’s distance from the sun varies by only 3.4 percent over a year. Pluto’s atmosphere was discovered just before Pluto reached its closest approach to the sun, which happened in 1989.
Since 1989, Pluto has been retreating from the sun. The temperatures have been decreasing accordingly.
Under pressure
At the time Pluto started moving away from the sun, astronomers expected that this would cause its atmospheric pressure to drop, in much the same way that the pressure in an automobile tire decreases with cold weather and increases in the heat. On the contrary, observations from 1988-2016 have shown a steady increase in the atmospheric pressure.
Immediately before the arrival of NASA’s New Horizons probe in 2015, occultation measurements discoveredthe atmospheric pressure on Pluto has tripled since 1988 (the equivalent on Earth would be to compare the pressure at the top of Mt. Everest to that at sea level).
What is the cause of the discrepancy? Any thought that the occultation measurements were in error was banished by the Radio Science Experiment (REX) aboard New Horizons, which returned direct measurements in agreement with the Earthbound observers.
The new research has solved the mystery using a seasonal model for the transport of gas and ice around the surface of the planet.
Even though Pluto is moving farther from the sun every year, its north pole is continuously sunlit during this part of its orbit, causing its nitrogen ice cap to revert to the gas phase.
This explains the rapid increase of atmospheric pressure over the past three decades.
But the climate modeling shows this trend will not continue.
The frozen canyons of Pluto’s north pole captured by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft.
Pluto will continue to move farther from the sun until the year 2113, and the weak sunlight will not be sufficient to similarly warm the southern polar regions.
During the long northern autumn and winter, Pluto’s atmosphere is expected to collapse, frosting out onto the surface like ice on a car windscreen on a clear and cold winter night.
At its lowest ebb, the atmosphere is predicted to have less than five percent of its current pressure. The combination of Pluto’s close approach to the sun and northern hemisphere spring won’t recur until the year 2237.
Until then, it will be of critical importance to test our understanding of planetary atmospheric models under extreme low-temperature and low-pressure conditions through continued occultation measurements.
But these opportunities will become less frequent as Pluto’s orbit takes its apparent position farther from the dense starfields of the galactic center that helped us make the observations.
US Military UFO Investigator Says He Still Has A UFO Part Today From Crash! Will Analysed Show Public, UFO Sighting News.
US Military UFO Investigator Says He Still Has A UFO Part Today From Crash! Will Analysed Show Public, UFO Sighting News.
Youtube UFO investigator channel ThirdPhaseofMoon are onto some really interesting and dangerous evidence of a UFO crash. Of course the US government always denies everything. Thats their official stance on all UFO crashes, but it happens more often than the public would ever dream.
In the video he states on the phone that he has in his possession a metal piece he pulled from a UFO crash and kept for himself. ThirdPhaseofMoon investigators will take that metal, photograph it, have its metal alloys analysed to find out if the metals are of unknown origin and if the metal may have a bio mechanical or living AI metal within its atomic structure itself. I have to tell you...I am really looking forward to seeing their next revealing video about this case. But it is dangerous...such evidence could undermine government intel and thats when people die. The death of my friend, the world famous UFO researcher Streetcap1, not long after a Russian interview he did. I warned him of the dangers, but he did the interview in his home anyways! I am too familiar with what can happen to UFO researcher. Lets wish ThirdPhaseofMoon luck and safely alone the way.
In space, the Event Horizon Imager (currently at concept stage) could have a resolution more than five times that of the Event Horizon Telescope on Earth, which took the first-ever picture of a black hole. Left: Model of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at an observation frequency of 230 GHz. Right: A simulation of what type of image EHT could produce of Sagittarius A*.
Thefirst-ever photo of a black hole amazed people across the world. Now, astronomers are aiming to take even sharper pictures of these enigmatic structures by sending radio telescopes into space.
The historic photo became public on April 10, when the worldwide research collaboration known as Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) unveiled the hazy but nevertheless incredible photo of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87.
Astronomers at Radboud University in the Netherlands have recently shared their plans to work with the European Space Agency (ESA) and others to get a better look at black holes by placing two to three satellites in a circular orbit around Earth. The concept is called the Event Horizon Imager (EHI).
The resolution of a radio image is limited by the size of the telescope that receives the signal, and that's why EHT used a network of dish telescopes around the world to essentially turn Earth into a planet-size virtual telescope. By expanding the distances between the radio observations, astronomers could someday present the public with a clearer, more detailed view of a black hole, researchers said in a statement from Radboud University.
"There are lots of advantages to using satellites instead of permanent radio telescopes on Earth, as with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)," Freek Roelofs, a researcher at Radboud University and lead author of an article describing this potential project, said in the statement.
The Event Horizon Telescope, a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration, captured this image of the supermassive black hole and its shadow that's in the center of the galaxy M87.
"In space, you can make observations at higher radio frequencies, because the frequencies from Earth are filtered out by the atmosphere," Roelofs added. "The distances between the telescopes in space are also larger. This allows us to take a big step forward. We would be able to take images with a resolution more than five times what is possible with the EHT."
A crisper look would offer more than just aesthetics. According to the statement, imagery by EHI could be used to test Einstein's Theory of General Relativity in greater detail, because ''you can take near perfect images to see the real details of black holes,'' Heino Falcke, radio astronomer at Radboud University and co-author on the new work, said in the statement. ''If small deviations from Einstein's theory occur, we should be able to see them."
EHI would initially function apart from EHT, but a hybrid system to combine space observations with those taken from the ground could be a possibility.
The plans are detailed in a forthcoming article in the scientific journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
Water worlds that each possess thousands of times more water than Earth does may be more common than Earth-like rocky planets in theMilky Way galaxy, a new study finds.
Over the past 20 or so years, astronomers have confirmed the existence of thousands of exoplanets, or planets around other stars. NASA's recently deceasedKepler spacecraftdiscovered 2,702 confirmed exoplanets, and several thousand more "candidates" it found are awaiting confirmation.
Many exoplanets are quite unlike any planets in our solar system. For example, so-called super-Earths have diameters up to twice that of Earth, and "sub-Neptune" worlds are two to four times wider than Earth. (Neptune's diameter is about four times Earth's.)
Much remains hotly debated about sub-Neptunes, such as how they formed. Their compositions remain unknown, and understanding them could help shed light on these exoplanets' origins. Previous research suggested that sub-Neptunes were either gas dwarf planets with rocky cores surrounded by envelopes rich in hydrogen and helium, or water worlds with major amounts of liquid and frozen water in addition to rock and gas.
To investigate the makeup of sub-Neptunes, scientists ran computer simulations of planetary growth to see what scenarios might best explain the masses and diameters seen to date among exoplanets. Knowing the mass and diameter of a planet can help astronomers estimate its average density, and computer simulations of planetary growth can help reveal whether compositions of gas, rock, ice or water might best explain these densities.
The researchers found that sub-Neptunes are more likely to be water worlds than gas dwarfs. They suggested that each sub-Neptune is at least 25%, and possibly more than 50%,liquid or frozen water by mass. (In contrast, Earth is only 0.02% water by mass.)
"Our study suggests that there are on the order of 1,000 water worlds in just the Kepler confirmed and candidate planets," study lead author Li Zeng, a planetary scientist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, told Space.com. "Statistically speaking, these water worlds may be more abundant than Earth-like rocky planets. Perhaps every typical sunlike star — a star of about one solar mass — has one or more of these water worlds."
The researchers divided exoplanets around sunlike stars into four main types:
Rocky worlds up to twice Earth's diameter.
Water worlds two to four times Earth's diameter that are each made up of more than 25% liquid or frozen water.
Transitional planets four to 10 times Earth's diameter that are rich in ice and possess substantial gaseous envelopes.
Gas giants more than 10 times Earth's diameter that are made up primarily of hydrogen and helium gas.
It remains a mystery why our solar system lacks planets between Earth and Neptune in size, and why the planetary systems that Kepler has seen often have more planets closer to their stars than our solar system does. Solving these puzzles might help shed light on how planetary systems typically form.
"Perhaps our solar system is less typical," Zeng said. Instead, planetary systems "with close-in rocky super-Earths and water-rich sub-Neptunes may be more common than our own solar system in our Milky Way galaxy."
The scientists detailed their findings online April 29 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The moon’s south pole has never been explored from the ground, but India’s new Chandrayaan-2 mission will attempt a 1st-ever landing there, with a rover, this September.
Artist’s concept of Chandrayaan-2 approaching the moon. If all goes well, a lander and rover will land near the lunar south pole in September of this year.
So far, only three countries have successfully landed on the moon – the United States, the former Soviet Union and China – but that might change soon, if all goes according to plan. India is preparing to launch its second lunar mission this summer, and this time the goal is to actually land on the surface, near the moon’s south pole. If successful, India would become the fourth nation to land on the moon and the spacecraft,Chandrayaan-2, would be the first of any country to land in that region.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) announced the plans via Twitter on May 1, 2019. As of now, the spacecraft is scheduled to launch sometime between July 9 and July 16, 2019, from the ISRO launch facility on Sriharikota, an island off India’s southeastern coast.
We are ready for one of the most exciting missions, #Chandrayaan2. Launch window between July 9-16 & likely Moon-landing on Sept 6, 2019. #GSLVMKIII will carry 3 modules of this #lunarmission - Orbiter, Lander (Vikram), Rover (Pragyan).
This new mission is more ambitious than any previous Indian mission to the moon, and will include an orbiter, lander (Vikram) and rover (Pragyan). The landing itself won’t happen until September 6, 2019. As ISRO said in a statement:
All the modules are getting ready for Chandrayaan-2 launch during the window of July 9, to July 26, 2019, with an expected moon landing on September 6, 2019. The orbiter and lander modules will be interfaced mechanically and stacked together as an integrated module and accommodated inside the GSLV MK-IIIlaunch vehicle. The rover is housed inside the lander.
After landing, the rover is designed to operate for at least 14 days on the surface and drive 1,300 feet (396 meters). That may not sound like a lot compared to NASA’s rovers on Mars, which have been able to drive for many years and travel at least several miles (as well as the Apollo rovers on the moon), but it will be a big accomplishment for ISRO if it succeeds, since it will be their first-ever moon rover. As K. Sivan, ISRO chairman, toldThe Times of India that, once Vikram lands on the lunar surface on September 6, the rover Pragyan will come out of the lander and roll out onto the lunar surface for about 300 to 400 meters (yards). It will spend 14 Earth-days on the moon, carrying out different scientific experiments. Altogether, he told The Times, there will be 13 payloads in the spacecraft: three payloads in rover Pragyan and the other 10 payloads in lander Vikram and orbiter.
Infographic detailing the lander and rover, as well as the landing site near the moon’s south pole.
The rover will use three scientific instruments including spectrometers and a camera to analyze the content of the lunar surface and send data and images back to Earth through the orbiter.
The launch of this mission had originally been planned for April 2018, but it was delayed to changes in the spacecraft design. The four-legged Vikram lander (a qualification model) had also suffered a fracture in one of its landing legs during testing earlier this year, contributing to the delay.
The landing near the moon’s south pole will be uncharted territory, where no other spacecraft has landed before. Previous orbiter missions, including India’s Chandrayaan-1, have found evidence for water ice in craters in this region, in locations where there is permanent shadow. With no atmosphere to speak of, temperatures remain exceedingly cold in those areas – about minus 250 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 157 degrees Celsius) – even though they can be boiling hot in sunlit regions. Water ice would be a valuable resource for future crewed missions back to the moon.
This will be India’s second lunar mission. The first, Chandrayaan-1, orbited the moon but did not land. It launched in October 2008 and operated for 312 days, until August 2009. By all measures it was a great success, with the orbiter circling the moon about 3,400 times.
Artist’s concept of the Chandrayaan-2 rover on the moon, near the south pole.
On April 11, 2019, Israel’s Beresheet spacecraft attempted that country’s first landing on the moon – and the first landing of a commercial mission – but unfortunately it crashed after a problem with the main engine in the last few moments before landing. A little earlier, however, on January 3, 2019, China’s Chang’e-4 spacecraft didland successfully on the far side of the moon, another first in lunar exploration.
Hopefully this next mission from India will fare better, as a follow-on to the successful first Chandrayaan-1 mission. If so, this will be the first view from the ground near the moon’s south pole that we will have ever had from any spacecraft. Although studied from orbit, this part of the moon is still virtually unexplored, so it is an exciting opportunity to learn more about our nearest neighbor in space.
Bottom line: If all goes according to plan, India will become the first nation to land a spacecraft near the moon’s south in September of this year. Godspeed!
On Thursday, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ space company Blue Origin presented its plansto reach the Moon, including a brand new design for its “Blue Moon” lander.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk thentook to Twitterto crudely imply that Bezos was building unwarranted hype for a plan that wasn’t going anywhere — a move that could be read as the ultimate example of “pot calling the kettle black” irony.
Twitter Tease
In the tweet, Musk writes “Oh stop teasing, Jeff,” along with a winky face emoji and a photoshopped image of the lander with “Blue Moon” replaced by the words “Blue Balls,” a reference to the uncomfortable feeling that can follow sexual excitement without release.
Maybe Elon Musk has never heard the proverb about how visionary CEOs who consistently fail to make good on their own ambitious promises about space travel shouldn’t throw stones. That’s how the saying goes, right?
He said: "We can help meet that timeline but only because we started three years ago.
"It's time to go back to the moon, this time to stay."
The billionaire unveiled a model of one of Blue Moon's proposed rovers, which was roughly the size of a golf cart, and presented a new rocket engine called BE-7 which can blast 10,000lbs of thrust.
Mr Bezos unveiled the rocket engine that Blue Moon will use
Blue Origin is developing its New Shepard rocket for short space tourism trips and a heavy-lift launch rocket called New Glenn for satellite launch contracts.
It is aiming to deliver the New Glenn rocket by 2021, while launching humans in a suborbital flight later this year atop its rocket-and-capsule New Shepard.
Blue Origin has also previously discussed a human outpost on the moon.
Mr Bezos has talked about his broader vision of enabling a future in which millions of people live and work in space.
Mr Bezos has spoken of his desire to colonise space
Unveiling his moon landing plan, he spoke of the importance of future human colonisation of space and mentioned two important issues: reducing launch costs and using resources already in space.
He said: "One of the most important things we know about the moon today is that there's water there.
"It's in the form of ice. It's in the permanently shadowed craters on the poles of the moon."
Mr Bezos' vision is shared by other billionaire-backed private space ventures including Elon Musk's SpaceX and aerospace incumbents such as United Launch Alliance, a partnership between Boeing Co and Lockheed Martin.
While Mr Bezos is angling to become a leading player in space exploration and win business from the US government, he has been the target of repeated criticism from President Donald Trump, who has referred to him as Jeff "Bozo".
Mr Bezos also owns the Washington Post, which Mr Trump has frequently branded "fake news".
Humans colonized South America with impressive ease and speed, but some 8,000 years ago, a sharp decline started taking place. Now, researchers have shown that climate change was responsible for this decline.
Image in public domain.
The initial human colonization of South America was a rapid process. Hunter-gatherers arrived on the continent some14,000 years ago, and within a few millennia, they covered every biome on the continent. However, while colonists were largely successful in their attempts, there was a period of about 4,000 years when things didn’t go so well. Researchers have found that a period called the Middle Holocene (8200 to 4200 cal BP) featured numerous shifts in climatic events.
“Archaeologists working in South America have broadly known that some 8,200 years ago, inhabited sites in various places across the continent were suddenly abandoned. In our study we wanted to connect the dots between disparate records that span the Northern Andes, through the Amazon, to the southern tip of Patagonia and all areas in between,” said Dr. Philip Riris (UCL Institute of Archaeology), lead author of the new study.
Through the analysis of radiocarbon dates using computer algorithms, they found that long-term rain patterns greatly correlate with the archaeological evidence. In other words, when the climate started to change, populations started to decline.
“Unpredictable levels of rainfall, particularly in the tropics, appear to have had a negative impact on pre-Columbian populations until 6,000 years ago, after which recovery is evident. This recovery appears to correlate with cultural practices surrounding tropical plant management and early crop cultivation, possibly acting as buffers when wild resources were less predictable,”added Dr. Riris.
However, it wasn’t the absolute magnitude of climate change that did most of the damage, but rather the frequency of exceptional climatic events. This is particularly interesting for us since while the overall trend of climate change is, in rough terms, rather clear, extreme weather events caused by climate change are much harder to foresee.
In other words, it wasn’t necessarily that there was more or less rainfall, but rather that the changes from low to high occurred much quicker than they were supposed to. Dr. Riris explained:
“We studied ancient records of rainfall such as marine sediments for evidence of exceptional climate events. Within windows of 100 years, we compared the Middle Holocene to the prevalent patterns before and after 8,200 years ago. Normal patterns of rainfall suggest on average an unusually dry or wet year every 16-20 years, while under highly variable conditions this increases to every 5 years or so.”
Climate change
If you’re a climate change denier, I know what you’re thinking: Aha! So climate has changed before in the past. Absolutely, our planet’s climate has changed and is changing all the time. However, there is overwhelming evidence that the current warming trends, along with all the events and consequences that derive from it, are caused by mankind’s emission of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide.
This graph, based on the comparison of atmospheric samples contained in ice cores and more recent direct measurements, provides evidence that atmospheric CO2 has increased since the Industrial Revolution.

Dat er objecten rondvliegen die door niemand kunnen worden geïdentificeerd is op zich geen nieuws meer.
Wat wel nieuws is, is dat de herkomst van deze objecten misschien wel een heel andere is dan wij denken.
Er zijn op dit moment eigenlijk twee gangbare theorieën over de herkomst van ufo’s, oftewel niet geïdentificeerde objecten in de lucht.
De eerste is dat ze afkomstig zijn van andere planeten en dat het onze ruimtebroeders zijn die ons komen bezoeken. De tweede is dat de mensheid al veel verder is voor wat betreft technologie dan dat het publiek wordt verteld. Dat we al lang een geheime ruimtevloot hebben, gebaseerd op van buitenaardsen afkomstige technologie en dat er al talloze menselijke nederzettingen zijn zoals bijvoorbeeld op Mars.
Beiden zijn uiteraard ook mogelijk en om een idee te krijgen welke vreemde dingen er zoal in de lucht gebeuren, onderstaand een videoclip van Tyler van Secureteam.
Met daarin onder andere iemand die vanuit een vliegtuig opnamen maakt en opeens met hoge snelheid een object dat hij omschrijft als een soort torpedo, langs ziet schieten.
En een andere waar een man geschrokken naar buiten rent vanwege een soort harde knal, allerlei dingen in de lucht ziet en waar vervolgens de complete hemel rood kleurt.
Naast bovengenoemde mogelijkheden is er sinds kort ook nog een derde.
En die mogelijkheid is afkomstig van een Amerikaanse professor die denkt dat voor wat betreft de herkomst van ufo’s, we dit veel dichter bij huis moeten zoeken dan bij andere planeten.
Michael M. Masters is professor aan Montana Tech University en zegt dat we hier heel goed te maken kunnen hebben met mensen uit de toekomst die een kijkje komen nemen in hun evolutionaire verleden.
Met andere woorden, de inzittenden van deze ufo’s zijn geen buitenaardsen, maar tijdreizigers.
Masters heeft hier een uitgebreid boek over geschreven, getiteld “Identified Flying Objects”.
Hij gebruikt zijn opleiding antropologie om te verklaren hoe het komt dat mensen die contact hebben gehad met buitenaardsen, allemaal ongeveer hetzelfde verhaal vertellen.
Ze praten over wezens die net als wij twee benen hebben, rechtop lopen, vingers hebben aan handen en tenen aan voeten en een symmetrisch gezicht bezitten met twee ogen, een mond en een neus en daarnaast zijn ze in staat om met ons te communiceren.
Masters staat helemaal achter de door hem ontwikkelde theorie en is bereid om met eenieder die dat wil erover in discussie te gaan.
Hij zegt dat hij het boek heeft geschreven voor zowel zijn wetenschappelijke collega’s als iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in het ufo fenomeen.
Zou Masters gelijk kunnen hebben en zijn het mensen uit de toekomst die ons bezoeken of toch wezens afkomstig van andere planeten?
Enkele jaren geleden hebben wij een soort handleiding gepubliceerd, afkomstig uit Rusland, met daarin alle buitenaardse wezens zoals die bekend zijn. En dat zijn er heel wat, dus misschien moeten we dan in plaats van twee mogelijkheden vanaf nu maar gewoon drie mogelijkheden aanhouden. Drie mogelijkheden die uiteraard ook allemaal tegelijk kunnen voorkomen.
Hierna een deel uit dat eerdere artikel en mochten er lezers zijn die slimme ideeën hebben over dit onderwerp, laat het ons weten.
In Rusland zijn ze over het algemeen wat verder met betrekking tot het fenomeen buitenaards leven en dat is dan ook het land waar veel nuttige informatie te vinden is.
Zo is er in Rusland sinds 1946-47 een boek bijgehouden over buitenaardse rassen.
Gelukkig is dit boek inmiddels vertaald in het Engels.
Er komen de meer bekende rassen in voor zoals de Pleijadiërs, de Reptilians, de Zeta’s en de Anunnaki.
Ook wordt in het boek de zogenaamde Council of Five genoemd. Die wordt gevormd door vijf buitenaardse rassen die klaarblijkelijk al miljoenen jaren de aarde en haar bewoners beschermen.
Deze Council besefte dat toen de Anunnaki eenmaal begonnen te knoeien met ons DNA, wij uiteindelijk zouden samenkomen met andere goedwillende sterrenfamilies.
Deze Council, of Raad, bestaat uit de vijf volgende buitenaardse rassen: Orela, Egarot, Ginvo, Redan en Emerther.
Het schijnt dat de Emerther één van de meest invloedrijke rassen zijn volgens dit boek. Zij zijn degenen die drie keer een ontmoeting hebben gehad met de Amerikaanse president Dwight Eisenhower en ook drie keer met hooggeplaatste Sovjet autoriteiten.
Klaarblijkelijk waren ze ook geïnteresseerd om de Amerikaanse president Nixon te bezoeken, maar deze wees het verzoek af, omdat hij te bang was dat de buitenaardsen in staat zouden zijn om zijn (mogelijk kwaadwillende) gedachten te lezen.

Zeer merkwaardige zonsondergang leidt tot theorieën over aliens. Bekijk de foto’s
In Canada is een wel heel vreemde zonsondergang vastgelegd. Rond de zon waren mysterieuze kringen te zien, die op internet voor de nodigde consternatie zorgden.
Christine McNaughton uit Canada plaatste onderstaande foto’s op Twitter. Ze zijn gemaakt op Manitoulin Island, nabij Toronto.
“Jongens, kijk die zonsondergang!” schreef ze erbij.
Vliegende schotel
De beelden trokken onder meer de aandacht van mensen die zich bezighouden met buitenaards leven.
Scott C. Waring van de website ET Database zei bijvoorbeeld dat de vreemde kringen werden veroorzaakt door een opstijgende vliegende schotel.
De UFO zou overdag schuilen in een nabijgelegen meer en ’s avonds tevoorschijn komen.
Cirruswolken
Volgens website Earthsky.org ging het echter om cirruswolken, waarin ijskristallen zitten. Die breken het zonlicht en weerkaatsen het.
Dat proces zou volgens de website de vreemde kringen veroorzaken die op de foto’s te zien zijn.
The scenario involves oftentimes, a late night knock at the door. Once the door is opened, either one or two young children are seen standing on the porch with their heads down. As they raise their heads though, it becomes clear that there is something just not right about them. Their eyes are pitch black.
The new nature of warfare in many parts of the world has made it increasingly difficult to identify who is a target and who is an innocent civilian. Terrorist groups, in particular, often have no reservations about placing their leadership among civilian populations or even schoolchildren in order to shield them from attacks. To combat this, the U.S. and its allies have been testing new methods of “reducing collateral damage,” or “blowing up innocent people” to use a non-sterilized term.

While this has most often meant reducing the explosive payloads of traditional munitions, it turns out that the CIA has been using a terrifying and highly advanced new weapon which could radically change the nature of warfare as we know it. According to a Wall Street Journalreport published today, it turns out the CIA has been using a high-precision kinetic warhead known as the RX9 packed with “a halo of six long blades that are stowed inside and then deploy through the skin of the missile seconds before impact, shredding anything in its tracks.” Yikes. Military news site Task and Purposewrites that “this is basically like dropping a rocket-assisted meteor full of swords on someone.”
Details about the RX9 are still scarce, and The Wall Street Journal has not disclosed its source for the existence of the RX9 but writes that it can confirm the CIA and Department of Defense are indeed using the weapon.
A typical Hellfire missile, believed to be the platform for this kinetic blade warhead.
There is some suspected evidence of its use, too. In 2017, Al-Qaeda second-in-command Abu Khayr al-Masri was killed in a precise drone strike by something which smashed right through the top of his car and yet caused very little other damage. Photos of the smashed car show 4 distinct ‘slice’ marks in the windshield and roof of the car; could they have been made by an RX9’s halo of six long blades as they shredded whatever was in its tracks in the car? Ouch.
Just wait until these things start being dropped from space. By soulless AIs. I don’t know of any deterrent more effective than the fear of a freakin’ sword falling from the heavens directly on one’s head after being dropped by an omniscient non-physical entity. It’s got a mythological ring to it. Still, while these secret missiles might prevent civilian casualties and sound objectively rad, they’re still instruments of death. How impersonal can we make killing from a distance until warfare loses all of its meaning?
For the past several months, I’ve been conducting interviews with leading UFO researchers from countries around the world in an effort to paint a clearer picture of global UFOlogy today.
RG: Who have been the defining figures in Norwegian UFOlogy over the past 70 years, for better or for worse, and why?
TT: As the main investigator of the Hessdalen UFO-phenomenon and an internationally established lecturer on these topics, Dr. Erling Strand is certainly a defining figure in Norwegian UFOlogy. Also important are Mentz Kaarbø and Ole Brænne for their role as editors of the only Norwegian UFO magazine since the seventies. Being the present leader of Norwegian UFO Center, Oftedal is a significant figure. This list should also include individuals such as Kenneth Jacobsen and Arnulf Løken, who are long-time leaders of local UFO groups. Also worthy of inclusion are Bjørnar Hvidsten, an Oslo-based event organiser and UFO activist, and Terje Wulfsberg, a Westcoast-based event organiser and UFO activist. I would also include myself as the producer of two internationally rewarded documentaries on the UFO subject: The Portal – The Hessdalen Light Phenomenon and The Day Before Disclosure, both of which are available on Vimeo through my website.
Dr. Erling Strand, of Project Hessdalen.
RG: Aside from the anomalous lights often sighted around Hessdalen, what do you consider to be the most compelling Norwegian UFO incident on record, and why?
TT: There are so many, from the “Ghost Rockets” of the 1940s, to several reports of close encounters with landed craft and face-to-face meetings with ETs. Many retired airliner pilots I have met with have told me privately about numerous incidents with UFOs during their careers.
RG: Why is Hessdalen so important? What clues, if any, might it offer as to the underlying nature of the UFO enigma?
TT: Hessdalen received national attention from February 1981, as reports came of daily observations of lights and structured craft moving up and down the small valley. For more information about this, I would recommend my documentary, The Portal. Hessdalen has been visited by many researchers and scientists from all over the world, among them Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who proclaimed that Hessdalen was a “UFO-laboratory” due to the high frequency of observations there in the 1980s.
A famous time-lapse image of the mysterious Hessdalen lights.
RG: Is Hessdalen still an active area for UFO sightings?
TT: Yes, still active but not as much so as in the 1980s and 1990s.
RG: What is the Norwegian government’s official stance on UFOs? When was the last time it issued a statement on the subject?
TT: The subject of UFOs doesn’t seem to be a noticeable to our government, and I cannot recall any comments made by any officials.
The Norwegian Ministry of Defence building in Oslo.
RG: Does the Norwegian Ministry of Defence have an official UFO investigations unit?
TT: Not to my knowledge.
RG: Has the Norwegian government shown more or less transparency on the UFO subject than the US government?
TT: No files have been released from our government. It’s simply not a topic here.
RG: Does Norway have a national UFO investigations organisation today, and how many smaller Norwegian UFO groups are you aware of?
TT: We have a group called Norwegian UFO center that collects reports and presents them in their magazine, together with articles on the subject. It is published four times a year. Some smaller private groups of engaged people have been organised over the years, but nothing significant. Actually, just recently, in May 2019, we had a full-day conference on the UFO subject in Oslo, and it gathered 100 attendees. Not bad!
RG: What are the most active regions of Norway for UFO sighting reports hotspots?
TT: Hessdalen is probably still the place, and, as far as I know, some fjords on the west coast.
RG: Have you personally had any UFO sightings?
TT: Once, in Hessdalen. Around midnight, sitting on a mountain top with several people. Two bright lights appeared right above us, hovering side-by-side for 20 seconds before they shot into the stars. No sound. Pretty amazing!
RG: How long have you been involved in the UFO subject; roughly how many cases have you personally investigated; and what conclusions, if any, have you drawn about the underlying nature of UFO phenomena?
TT: I have been interested in the subject since I was a 12-year-old boy in 1962 and came across a book on my father’s bookshelf: George Adamski’s The Flying saucers have landed. He bought it in 1954 after a UFO incident on a Norwegian airfield where he worked at the time. A large disc had hovered over the remote military airfield and was seen on radar and by many of the personnel there. This incident triggered my father’s interest, and later my own. I have pursued the subject all my life and I’m convinced of its legitimacy and importance. I believe we are being visited—or, perhaps more accurately, monitored—by many ET groups. All the ongoing craziness on this planet must be of great anthropological interest to anyone out there watching. I also believe that an apparent alien hybridisation programme is a key part of this story, which is still unfolding. Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs, John Mack, Barbara Lamb and many others have done a great job exploring this.
But, as Edgar Mitchell once pointed out to me: “Beware, you are entering a minefield!” So much dis-and-mis-information; so many wild conspiracy theories; so many self-proclaimed experts and prophets with and big egos, and so on… these are choppy waters to sail. The truth is out there—unfortunately, it’s not always down here. That’s one of the reasons the media has kept its distance, as a great deal of UFO reports are hard to verify. Quoting someone who is later proved to be a fraud does not well serve the publishing businesses. I can understand the editors’ reluctance. It can be very unclear at times what one should believe or not.
RG: How can Norwegian UFOlogy, and UFOlogy in general, better itself?
TT: It depends on what your goals are. Are UFOs something we “need” to force on the general public, or is this a phenomenon that by itself attracts the people who are ready for it? I kind of feel the latter is where I stand at the moment. What we can best do is to help make credible information available, but people must decide for themselves whether or not they wish to engage with it. It is an evolutionary process; one that that cannot be pushed too much. It must follow a natural flow. We cannot save the planet by yelling out that UFOs are real, but by presenting credible information through quality presentations, we can create a curiosity for this and other “paranormal” phenomena, showing that they are not paranormal at all, but actually completely normal and explicable. Mainstream science has just not arrived here yet. Discovering that we are not alone in the universe and becoming a part of a galactic brotherhood is likely to be a natural part of our evolution and it will come when the world is ready for it. But we probably have to grow up first as a civilisation, and to discipline our barbaric nature, which still haunts us and keeps visitors at safe distance. Meantime, we UFO-nerds can enjoy the ride.
One of the foremost authorities on British UFO research has come forward to urge the British government to re-open its investigation of anomalous aerial phenomena. Nick Pope, former head of the Ministry of Defence UFO desk, has publicly called for the MoD to restart its research into unidentified flying objects and other aerial anomalies. Will the Ministry of Defence take heed?
Nick Pope
Nick Pope served at the Ministry of Defence from 1991 to 2006 where he was tasked with investigating reports of UFOs to determine if they posed any risk to British defense. In reality, as our own Nick Redfern has pointed out, Pope was likely merely there to serve as a lightning rod to attract reports which were then actually investigated by members of the Defense Intelligence Staff (DIS) with security clearances.
Still, like Tom DeLonge, Pope was given a level of access to information and institutions that few civilians ever do – even if either one or both were merely part of a government disinformation or public appeasement campaign of some kind. Like DeLonge, Pope also now makes quite a bit of money and publicity off of his legit UFO researcher cred, regardless of if he ever came across any ‘real’ proof of anything anomalous.
Thus, make of it what you will when Pope pops up in the news with some big development. This week, Pope is making the rounds in the British tabloids with his call for the MoD to follow the lead of the U.S. Navy and draft a new policy for documenting and reporting UFOs. “I strongly support the US Navy’s policy, which is a sensible response to the defence, national security and air safety issues raised by the phenomenon – whatever its true nature,” Pope told Metro. “I hope the US policy initiative will lead to the UK following suit. It’s time either to re-open the MoD’s UFO project or put some new reporting arrangements in place.”
Footage alleged to show U.S. Navy aircraft tracking advanced unknown objects surfaced in 2017, bringing the topic of disclosure into the public eye.
Pope even drafted a set of guidelines of his own for reporting unidentified aerial phenomena, writing that the MoD should create a new dedicated unit for collecting these reports:
A new MoD unit should be set up to investigate all such occurrences. All aircrew of all branches of the military who see such objects/phenomena, all civilian aircrew, all radar operators who detect uncorrelated targets, and any other military, MoD or defence contractor witnesses should make a full report to this unit as soon as possible.
Pope writes that the MoD should take each report seriously, cross-checking each with military, civilian, and space radar operated by the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System at RAF Fylingdales. Given the number of times the Royal Air Force has been scrambled in response to unidentified objects lately, I’d say they likely already do, but who knows?
A Eurofighter Typhoon at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, England.
Will the MoD follow the U.S. Navy and publicly release new guidelines for reporting UFOs? If all of this is in fact a matter of national security in the U.K. and U.S., why is it receiving so much press? Wouldn’t these two governments want to suppress knowledge and reports of incursions into their airspace by unknown incredibly advanced aircraft?
Maybe all of this is misinformation designed to muddy the waters. If the public is convinced these incursions are being committed by inter-dimensional beings or aliens, no one will freak out that the Russians or Chinese or whoever are flying reality-bending aircraft above our heads. Is any of this leading to any ‘real’ disclosure, or this yet another smokescreen?
Nick Pope's guidelines for the reporting of unidentified aerial phenomena
A recent US Navy policy initiative concerning “unidentified aircraft” making incursions into military-controlled ranges and designated airspace has highlighted the need for similar policy guidance in the UK.
Current reporting is patchy. The 2009 termination of the MoD’s UFO research and investigation program may have created a false perception that military authorities were unconcerned by such reports. The term “UFO” is, in and of itself, unhelpful, in view of the pop culture baggage associated with it. Military and civilian pilots have thus been deterred from making reports, resulting in potentially significant occurrences going unreported. On occasion, to avoid such loaded terminology, phrases such as “unusual aircraft” or “unconventional helicopter” have been used, or – as in the case of recent incidents at Gatwick Airport – sightings have been attributed to drones, which may or may not be the explanation in this instance. To ensure continuity of terminology, the term UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) should be used.
The recent US Navy initiative has brought the requirement into focus, in parallel with US Department of Defense acknowledgement of some aspects of their AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat and Identification Program) program. This is a program designed to assess “foreign advanced aerospace weapon threats from the present out to the next 40 years”, and which included the study of “anomalous events, such as sightings of aerodynamic vehicles in extreme manoeuvres, with unique phenomenology, reported by US Navy pilots or other credible sources.” A new MoD unit should be set up to investigate all such occurrences. All aircrew of all branches of the military who see such objects/phenomena, all civilian aircrew, all radar operators who detect uncorrelated targets, and any other military, MoD or defence contractor witnesses shokd make a full report to this unit as soon as possible.
The MoD should investigate each occurrence thoroughly, cross-checking visual sightings with military and civilian radar data, and the space-tracking radar at the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System at RAF Fylingdales
Self-evidently, HMG, the MoD, HM Armed Forces and the CAA need to be aware of all activity in the UK Air Defence Region, because of the clear defence, national security and air safety issues raised. Unusual aerial activity (actual or perceived) may have a number of different causes, including:
Foreign (or non-state actor) military activity, involving aircraft, missiles or drones engaged in operational activity, flight testing, espionage, terrorism, narcotics smuggling, or attempts to assess the capabilities of our air defence network by means of unauthorized penetrations aimed at eliciting a military response.
‘Black projects’ involving prototype technologies operated by another part of HM Armed Forces, allied nations, or defence contractors, in circumstances where the project may be highly classified, with information held only by a very few individuals with the appropriate security clearances and ‘need to know’.
Drone activity from commercial companies or private individuals engaged in legitimate or illegitimate aerial photography, or in deliberately dangerous and/or disruptive activity.

Google Attacks My Discovery Of A UFO Over Cape Of Good Hope, South Africa, Deleting It. UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: 2011 Location of discovery:Cape of Good Hope, South Africa Google Earth Coordinates (deleted): 34°21'12.33"S 18°29'24.02"E Guys, I found this UFO way back in 2011 and had it on my old channel, but I just transitioned from a windows computer to an Apple computer and was still learning the ropes. So there was no sound on it. It was taken by others and some said it was a fake because of no sound. Its 100% real and I know because I made the video in 2011 on my old channel UFOTeamTNT. This UFO is the exact same craft worked on by Area S4 Nuclear engineer Bob Lazar. This leads me to believe that there is a USAF top secret base in the area of Cape of Good Hope. The fact that the UFO was deleted within 4 weeks of announcing it to the world is evidence that Google Headquarters is infiltrated by aliens trying to control the minds of the public by controlling what we see and don't see on Google maps, searches and more. Thats right. I am accusing the higher ups in Google of actually being alien species that believe they are our overlords. Please watch the video below to see the original and learn why Google deleted it. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan UFO Researcher

Zero gravity can become a nuisance. Astronauts will Velcro themselves in place while they sleep so they don’t drift away, but there are fewer ways to keep things inside their body in place.
For instance, it turns out fluids float upward into astronauts’ brains during long spaceflights, causing their brains to expand. Even months after they’ve returned to Earth, the astronauts’ ventricles — the sacs in the brain that contain cerebrospinal fluids — remain enlarged, causing vision problems and other medical issues, according to research published Monday in the journal PNAS.
Water Balloons
The study, conducted by a large team of European neuroscientists, found that the ventricles of 11 Russian cosmonauts who returned to Earth had expanded by more than 11 percent, stretched out by the fluid buildup in their brains.
Seven months after they returned, the ventricles were still six percent larger than normal, according to the study, which connected the swollen ventricles to existing reports of worsening astronaut eyesight.
Brain Trust
But because this is an emerging field of medicine, doctors don’t know whether the effect increases during longer spaceflights.
“We need to really check the brain, check the visual system, check cognition because we do not know if this has any effect on that, and check people who spent different durations in space to tell if the effect keeps increasing,” University of Antwerp neuroscientist Angelique Van Ombergen told New Scientist. “Currently, nobody knows.”

Four Glowing UFOs Seen During Day Over Majave Desert, California, Dec 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: December 2018
Location of sighting: Giant Rock, Mojave desert, California, USA
The eyewitness said the group was meditating and then the UFOs appeared. Meditation does work, but only if its done with 100% relaxed mental state. Its hard to achieve for me, but has worked.
I have seen a similar sighting long ago here in Taiwan. Seen from the mountain my son goes to school on. Its called Yuming Mountain in Taipei, Taiwan. Back in 2004 a similar sighting occurred, glowing UFOs were seen in a similar formation, but for a longer amount of time. Watch the videos and compare. They are the same craft in both videos.
It is my belief that these UFOs appeared from above at high speed and stopped in their position. Waiting...for the underground base to bring them in. Which happens so fast, that the UFOs seem to shrink and vanish. But in reality, they were transported underground to the alien base 4-6km below. So, we now know there is an alien base below Giant Rock.

Eyewitness states:
These light orbs suddenly appeared following a large group meditation at Giant Rock, in the Mojave desert.
