UFO Investigations: Revealing Documents from HISTORY's 'Unidentified'

AATIP/Pentagon UFO Hotspot Map

During the May 26th, 2019 edition of Coast to Coast AM, George Knapp and Luis Elizondo spoke of a Pentagon UFO hotspot map in episode two of To the Stars Academy‘s new breakthrough television series Unidentified.

George Knapp: “Gary Vorhis…I hope I’m not giving too much away, but he’s in an episode. He was a radar guy. I dont know… Im trying to remember what ship he was on, maybe he was on the Princeton too, backing up the same story. He comes close to talking about something that was underwater. That he had contact with a submarine and somebody on the sub about a sonar ping. I tried to pin down Dave Fravor about this as well, about what object was seen in the water cause there was something really big. If he hadn’t seen this really big thing that was under the water, sort of creating white caps, he may not have not seen the Tic Tac at all cause it was so small. Can you address that at all? Was there something under the water, or are you going to dodge me like Dave Fravor did?

Luis Elizondo: You know what? As I’ve said before in a few…the few times I’ve spoken publicly, there seems to be some interesting correlations, and in my resignation to the Secretary of Defense, one of them was potentially our nuclear capabilities, and I won’t go into detail about that but certainly you can imagine why that would be important. But there also seems to be some very interesting…some congruences as it relates to water. Now does that mean large bodies of water, small bodies of water, running bodies of water? You know of course there is still a lot of unknowns. But there is reporting out there, alot of reporting in fact, that for some reason UAP activity is associated many many times near or above water.

George Knapp: “Um, I guess that’s all I’m going to get out of you. Let me try it this way…So this is kind of a hint from episode two, if you can talk about it. There is a UFO map. It is created by and for the Pentagon. It will be shown for the first time, highlights…I guess you could call it UFO/UAP hotspots…anything you can say about it?”

Luis Elizondo: “Um, I can say that it’s an authentic map, that is correct, and there were areas designated where UAP activity had been observed.”

AATIP’s use of hotspot maps is interesting. The majority of researchers subscribe to the idea that hotspots exist, but UFO hotspots have been a debated topic. Dr. Eric Davis and possibly the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) organization didn’t seem to agree with the notion after studying it, saying that you could throw a dart on a map randomly and find a hotspot. However, and possibly before coming to that conclusion, they investigated Skinwalker Ranch among other hotspot areas.

After I tweeted about the map, researcher Jason Goldthorpe mentioned this quote by Unidentifiedtelevision series producer, Anthony Lappé, during Anthony’s interview with Martin Willis:

Martin Willis: “And you know, the thing that I’ve always thought as I’ve looked at this subject over the years, is that it is so strange that there is reoccurring what they call ‘flaps’ or whatever. You know, it just makes you wonder why they’re in one area. You know, it’s a big world to explore.”

Anthony Lappé: “And that is one of the topics that we actually get into. That’s a really good point. That is one of the questions that we ask because we clearly are seeing that there are some sort of what they call ‘hotspots’ for these incidents that are happening in certain parts of the world. And even as, I believe you see in episode one (two), AATIP even created a map in 2009 that we reveal that shows some of…just a very small smattering of plot points on a global map where the military had reporting seeing incidents. So that is one of the enduring mysteries of this whole thing which is fascinating and we delve into that question. Again, probably raising more questions than we have answers, but we definitely are…this show I hope will push the needle forward in this conversation…”

Now the History Channel and Unidentified have seemed to release a version of the map:

Detractors of TTSA’s efforts and critics of the show have speculated wildly, claimed and even hoped that Unidentified would not include any new information, thus being written off quickly and forgotten – proving their disparaging comments right and returning the UFO research community to the doldrums of previous decades where the flow of information was much slower, and sometimes nonexistent. A place where they apparently feel comfortable and thrive in. But we do not.

I expect there will be serious information bombs dropped (including the map) in the show, or surrounding it, that will change the UFO “conversation” as Luis Elizondo has stated. If the recent Navy reporting guideline changes, the Pentagon admitting AATIP studied UFOs, and the blockbuster NY Times article (elements of which have appeared in Silva Record over the past days and months – before the NY Times – thanks to public comments from TTSA, Lue Elizondo, Chris Mellon, George Knapp, Dave Fravor, Jeremy Corbell, Dr. Eric Davis and Dave Beaty) aren’t enough to do so, then maybe unverified but seemingly solid rumors of partnerships between TTSA and Lockheed Martin/Boeing coming to fruition will. Highly plausible partnership scenarios aside, Unidentified will have already released new information immediately proving the detractors wrong in episode two, namely the Pentagon/AATIP UFO hotspot map. Episode two is also slated to discuss trans-medium travel, or the ability to travel through space, air and water almost equally. An ability no known man-made technology possesses. Less than two years ago we would have never imagined the pentagon releasing gun camera footage of UFOs/UAP. Since then, the Navy has admitted multiple sightings and interactions with UFOs around each coast of the United States and the middle east. Apparently in episode two we will also be able to confirm the government’s ufo program, AATIP, tracked these occurrences in many more locations than previously known. An admittance of a government UAP hotspot map by ex-government employees is shocking and yet another piece we can fit into the greater confirmation/disclosure puzzle.

Is this the map featured in episode two or just a promotional version? We will have to wait until June 7th to find out.

UFO Watch: 8 Times the Government Looked for Flying Saucers

03-06-2019 om 00:23 geschreven door peter

DANIEL W. DREZNER, THE WASHINGTON POST

The term "UFO" automatically triggers derision in most quarters of polite society.

One of Christopher Buckley's better satires, "Little Green Men", is premised on a George F. Will-type pundit thinking that he has been abducted by aliens, with amusing results. UFOs have historically been associated with crackpot ideas like Big Foot or conspiracy theories involving crop circles.

The obvious reason for this is that the term "UFO" is usually assumed to be a synonym for "extraterrestrial life." If you think about it, this is odd. UFO literally stands for "unidentified flying object."

A UFO is not necessarily an alien from another planet. It is simply a flying object that cannot be explained away through conventional means. Because UFOs are usually brought up only to crack jokes, however, they have been dismissed for decades.

One of the gutsiest working paper presentations I have witnessed was Alexander Wendt and Raymond Duvall presenting a draft version of "Sovereignty and the UFO."

In that paper, eventually published in the journal Political Theory, Wendt and Duvall argued that state sovereignty as we understand it is anthropocentric, or "constituted and organized by reference to human beings alone."

They argued that the real reason UFOs have been dismissed is because of the existential challenge that they pose for a worldview in which human beings are the most technologically advanced life-forms:

UFOs have never been systematically investigated by science or the state, because it is assumed to be known that none are extraterrestrial. Yet in fact this is not known, which makes the UFO taboo puzzling given the ET possibility.... The puzzle is explained by the functional imperatives of anthropocentric sovereignty, which cannot decide a UFO exception to anthropocentrism while preserving the ability to make such a decision. The UFO can be "known" only by not asking what it is.

When Wendt and Duvall made this argument, there were a lot of titters in the audience. I chuckled, too. Nonetheless, their paper makes a persuasive case that UFOs certainly exist, even if they are not necessarily ETs.

For them, the key is that no official authority takes seriously the idea that UFOs can be extraterrestrials. As they note, "considerable work goes into ignoring UFOs, constituting them as objects only of ridicule and scorn."

In recent years, however, there has been a subtle shift that poses some interesting questions for their argument.

For one thing, discussion of actual UFOs has been the topic of some serious mainstream media coverage.

There was the December 2017 New York Times story by Helene Cooper, Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean about the Defense Department's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which was tasked with cataloguing UFOs recorded by military pilots. DoD officials confirmed its existence.

Though this story generated some justified skepticism, it represented the first time the US government acknowledged the existence of such a program.

Then, there were the reports last November about Oumuamua, "a mysterious, cigar-shaped interstellar object [that] fell through our solar system at an extraordinary speed," according to New York's Eric Levits.

Oumuamua's shape and trajectory were unusual enough for some genuine astrophysicists to publish a paper suggesting the possibility that it was an artificial construction relying on a solar sail.

Again, this prompted skeptical reactions, but even those skeptics could not completely rule out the possibility that extraterrestrial activity was involved.

Then, on Monday, the New York Times came out with another story by the same reporters who broke the 2017 story:

The strange objects, one of them like a spinning top moving against the wind, appeared almost daily from the summer of 2014 to March 2015, high in the skies over the East Coast. Navy pilots reported to their superiors that the objects had no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes, but that they could reach 30,000 feet and hypersonic speeds.

"These things would be out there all day," said Lt. Ryan Graves, an F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot who has been with the Navy for 10 years, and who reported his sightings to the Pentagon and Congress. "Keeping an aircraft in the air requires a significant amount of energy. With the speeds we observed, 12 hours in the air is 11 hours longer than we'd expect."....

No one in the Defense Department is saying that the objects were extraterrestrial, and experts emphasize that earthly explanations can generally be found for such incidents. Lieutenant Graves and four other Navy pilots, who said in interviews with The New York Times that they saw the objects in 2014 and 2015 in training maneuvers from Virginia to Florida off the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, make no assertions of their provenance.

The Times reporters broke new ground by getting pilots on record. What is interesting about this latest news cycle, however, is that DoD officials are not behaving as Wendt and Duvall would predict.

Indeed, Politico's Bryan Bender reported last month that, "The US Navy is drafting new guidelines for pilots and other personnel to report encounters with 'unidentified aircraft,' a significant new step in creating a formal process to collect and analyze the unexplained sightings - and destigmatize them."

My Post colleague Deanna Paul followed up by reporting that "Luis Elizondo, a former senior intelligence officer, told The Post that the new Navy guidelines formalized the reporting process, facilitating data-driven analysis while removing the stigma from talking about UFOs, calling it 'the single greatest decision the Navy has made in decades.'"

What appears to be happening is that official organs of the state are now acknowledging that UFOs exist, even if they are not literally using the term. They are doing so because enough pilots are reporting UFOs and near-air collisions so as to warrant better record-keeping.

They are not saying that these UFOs are extraterrestrials, but they are trying to destigmatize the reporting of a UFO.

Still, the very fact that this step has been taken somewhat weakens the Wendt and Duvall thesis. This was always a two-step process: (a) Acknowledge that UFOs exist; and (b) Consider that the UFOs might be ETs.

In recent years, the US national security bureaucracy has met the first criterion. What happens to our understanding of the universe if great powers meet that second one?

How Did Earth Get Its Water? Scientists Now Look to 'Hyperactive' Comets for Clues

By Elizabeth Howell 

New research offers insight into how much of Earth's water came from long-ago comets.

Fresh observations of Comet 46P/Wirtanen, which swung by Earth in December 2018, suggest that more of Earth's water came from comets than previous studies suggested.

How Earth got its oceans is a field of active debate. While comets are icy bodies that contain water, previous studies showed that the ratio of elements in many comets' ice is different than elements contained in terrestrial water. But in the absence of comet deliveries, it's hard to say where Earth's water came from.

"According to the standard theory, the Earth is thought to have formed from the collision of small celestial bodies known as planetesimals," officials from the French space agency CNRS, which participated in the research, said in a statement. "Since such bodies were poor in water, Earth's water must have been delivered either by a larger planetesimal, or by a shower of smaller objects such as asteroids or comets."

• Related: Living on a Comet: 'Dirty Snowball' Facts Explained (Infographic) 

Researchers use a metric called isotopic ratios to learn what kind of water lies in different space objects, particularly the ratio of deuterium (a heavier form of hydrogen) to hydrogen. So far, studies of comets indicated this "D/H ratio" (as scientists call it) of comets was three times that of ocean water on Earth. This implies that comets crashing into Earth provided only 10% of our planet's water.

But this new study, based on observations of Comet 46P/Wirtanen in December 2018, shows that the family of comets it belongs to,  known as "hyperactive comets," has water with a similar D/H ratio as water on Earth. But the research gets even more intriguing when taking into account how comets lose ice as these frigid bodies draw closer to the sun.

Most comets originate in an area of the solar system known as the Oort Cloud, a region of icy objects beyond the orbit of Neptune. Occasionally, a gravitational perturbation — perhaps a star passing by at some distance — moves one of these bodies closer to the sun. As the comet approaches the sun, the cometary ice sublimates, or passes directly from a frozen form into a gas. Often this sublimation produces a large tail that stretches for thousands of miles, or kilometers.

Researchers examined Comet 46P/Wirtanen to see what happened as it drew close to the Earth (and the sun) in December 2018. They used the SOFIA airborne observatory, which is carried aboard a Boeing aircraft that flies above much of Earth's atmosphere — providing a better view of space objects. 

As a "hyperactive" comet, 46P releases more water than what is available on the surface of the comet's nucleus. That's because 46P has a lot of ice-rich particles in its atmosphere that have previously been released from the nucleus, according to a statement from SOFIA. These particles melt as the comet draws closer to the sun, just like the comet's surface does.

The new study gave more insight into why hyperactive comets have isotopic ratios similar to Earth water. Specifically, the researchers discovered a correlation between the comet's D/H ratio and its active fraction — that is, the fraction of the nucleus service needed to provide the water in the comet's atmosphere. Scientists found that the more hyperactive a comet is, the more its D/H ratio resembles Earth water — so comets that produce more water vapor from ice-rich atmospheric particles than from their nucleus have water more like Earth's.

Many comets, however, are not hyperactive and do not have ice in their atmosphere available to melt; instead, all the ice seen in their atmosphere comes directly from the surface. However, the D/H ratio in the surface ice of these other comets may not reflect what melts in the atmosphere — something about ice sublimating from the surface may favor particular isotopes, skewing the ratio, according to the SOFIA statement. 

"If this hypothesis is correct, the water in all cometary nuclei may in fact be very similar to terrestrial water, reopening the debate on the origin of Earth's oceans," the research team added in the CNRS statement.

A study based on the research was published March 26 in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. The research was led by Dariusz (Darek) Lis, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory who also is affiliated with the Paris Observatory.

7. Lightning

Mysterious UFO sightings may go hand-in-hand with a natural weather phenomenon known as sprites flashes high in the atmosphere triggered by thunderstorms. Sprites suddenly appear when lightning from thunderstorms excites the electric field above the storm, producing dancing flashes of bright light.

Sprites can take the form of fast-paced balls of electricity, although they can also form streaks or tendrils. "Winter sprites" are common in the northern hemisphere during winter months.

6. Missile Tests

In December 2009, a spectacular spiral light show appeared in the sky above northern Norway: A giant spiral, with a green-blue beam of light shooting from its center, lit up the sky in a raindrop-ripple effect pattern.

It looked like a wormhole to another dimension, but it turned out that the lights were caused by a Russian missile that failed just after launch, according to Russia's defense ministry. The botched Bulava ballistic test missile spun out of control, thus creating the mysterious rotating spiral effect.

3. Venus

The planet Venus often gets mistaken for a UFO. To viewers on Earth, the second planet from the sun appears as a bright light that hangs in the sunset sky, seeming to slowly hover in the twilight as it outshines every star except for the sun. Because Venus orbits the sun inside our own orbit, from our perspective it constantly darts out on the either side of the sun, which people often mistake for a moving UFO.

1. Military Experiments

The late 1940s and early 1950s were a great time for spotting UFOs and aliens in New Mexico, primarily because that's where the Air Force was conducting some of its top-secret research. One such program was known as Project Mogul and involved floating microphone-carrying balloons to high altitudes in an attempt to pick up the sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests. The Air Force has since confirmed that a 1947 crash of one of those balloons created the debris that birthed the Roswell UFO Incident.

Another military experiment provided the bodies for that UFO. In the 1950s, Air Force scientists dropped several dozen anthropomorphic dummies from planes to test new high-altitude parachutes and determine whether the bodies would enter a dangerous spin as they fell. Results from these studies contributed to designs for the parachutes and pressurized suits that fighter jet pilots and early astronauts would wear. The Air Force was more than happy to allow Russian spies to think New Mexicans were a little kooky than to reveal the true military origin of the sightings.

Ten Bizarre Mysteries Across Time and Space

All through history and time people have been trying to solve unexplained phenomena and bizarre mysteries. As humans, we’re often fascinated and sometimes frightened by what we don’t understand. But try as we might to solve the puzzles, sometimes there is no obvious answer.

1. Bizarre Cart Ruts in Prehistoric Stone: Who Left These Behind?

Cart Ruts at Misrah Ghar il-Kbir, Malta. (Lysy/ CC BY SA 3.0 )

The islands of Malta and Gozo in the Maltese archipelago are scarred with hundreds, if not thousands, of parallel lines seemingly cut deep into the stone. These ancient grooves have puzzled experts for centuries. Some of the strange tracks deliberately plunge off cliffs or continue off land and into the ocean. Who made these enigmatic tracks, and why?

The tracks are gouged into the rock, crisscrossing the islands, most notably at Misrah Ghar il-Kbir, a prehistoric cliff site on Malta. The so-called “cart ruts” of Malta are thought to be indications of transportation or industry— railways of the ancient world.

These clearly man-made ruts are dual channels, parallel grooves etched into the limestone bedrock of the islands. The channels measure about eight to 15 centimeters deep, but can be as deep as 60 centimeters. Width between the tracks extends about 140 centimeters, but not in all instances. The tracks measured at the San Gwann site in Malta are said to be half a meter in depth, making them the deepest to be found – making it unlikely that a vehicle could have been dragged along them since the platform/axle would have to be a meter or two high.

Similar tracks can be found in Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, France, and Germany, but they’re not of the same origins and were created for different and known purposes. Some of those tracks were built purposefully with masonry, and some of the patterns were caused by natural erosion on wagon tracks. These differences make the Malta tracks unique in the world.

2. Spontaneous Human Combustion: A Burning Mystery

“Power in the palm of my hand.” ( Matthew/Flickr)

Over the past 300 years, there have been more than 200 reports of Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC), which occurs when a person supposedly burns to death by a fire believed to have started from within the person’s body. Of the hundreds of accounts on record, there seems to be a similar pattern.

A solitary victim is often consumed by flame, usually inside his or her home. However, the extremities, such as the hands, feet, or parts of the leg often remaining intact. The torso and head are charred beyond recognition and, in rare cases, the internal organs of a victim remain unscathed. The room the victim was in usually shows little to no signs of fire, aside from a greasy residue left on furniture and walls. Often there is a sweet, smoky smell in the room where the incident has occurred.

The history of SHC can be traced back to medieval literature and some even believe there are several passages in the bible referencing it. There are several theories behind why it happens including: alcoholism, flammable body fat, acetone buildup, static electricity, methane, bacteria, stress, and even divine intervention.

The theory explaining SHC which is most approved by science is called the “wick effect.” It likens the body of an SHC victim to a candle. A candle is composed of a wick on the inside surrounded by a wax made of flammable fatty acids. Fire ignites the wick and the fatty wax keeps it burning. However, it doesn’t explain why the victims remain motionless during the episode of combustion and burning, nor does it provide enough explanation why surrounding furniture is so often unaffected by the fire.

3. What Did the Ancients See? UFOs in Early History

Hand-colored woodprint by Samuel Coccius, Basle Switzerland 1566. August 7th many black globes moved before the sun at great speed and seemed to be fighting. Was this an ancient UFO sighting or celestial event? ( Public Domain )

The oldest recorded sighting of a UFO took place in 1440 BC. The incident was documentedby the royal scribe of an Egyptian Pharaoh. Before the modern-era, UFOs were also recorded by ancient Greeks, Romans, Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, and more. These sightings cannot be as readily explained.

The Romans accumulated a number of reported sightings made by such reputable historians as Pliny the Elder , Livy, and Plutarch. They are widely regarded as accurate (as far as the witnesses understood) because of the rigorous procedures Roman authorities demanded before any event could be recorded in the official annals. That being said, the incidences could be talking about meteorites or comets, which to ancient eyes would have seemed otherworldly.

It seems that throughout much of antiquity the UFO-like phenomena were merely recorded. The first known official investigation into a possible alien/time-traveler/UFO presence was carried out in Japan in 1235. Today, we only have the descriptions and analysis given by ancient historians. These are undoubtedly genuine accounts of things people witnessed but what exactly they saw may never be known.

4. The Man from Taured: Traveler from Parallel Universe?

The man from Taured. ( lechemindeleveil)

The story of the ‘Man from Taured’ begins on a hot day in July 1954 when a man arrived at Haneda Airport, aka Tokyo International Airport. This man has been described as Caucasian-looking with a beard. His primary language is said to have been French, but he apparently spoke Japanese and other languages as well.

The sequence of events then differs. In one version, this man hands over his passport to be stamped, and the Japanese immigration officer notices something strange – the passportlooked authentic, but the country where it was issued, ‘Taured’, was recognized as non-existent, indicating that the man should be taken away for interrogation. In another version, the man mentioned that he was from Taured, and when the immigration officer did not believe him, he showed him / her his passport.

The man tried to convince the immigration officers that Taured does indeed exist. According to the traveler, Taured was located between France and Spain, in the area of Andorra, and had by then been in existence for 1000 years. Eventually, the man was held by the officers, as they were suspicious that he might be some kind of criminal. They brought him to a nearby hotel for the night and continued their investigation.

Two guards were placed outside his room, but the next morning when the officers went to the man’s room, they realized that he had simply vanished. There were no signs of his escape and all of his personal documents, which may serve as evidence for the story’s validity, had apparently disappeared as well, making this strange story unsolvable.

5. The Curious Acambaro Figurines: Did Dinosaurs Live Among Us?

In 1944, the German shopkeeper Valdemar Julsrud claimed to have stumbled upon mysterious figurines while on horseback near Acámbaro in Guanajuato, Mexico. He said that he found over 30,000 of them with the help of a farmer. The figurines depict dinosaurs and humans living together and strange figurines that many people say resemble flying saucers and even aliens. Their authenticity has been debated ever since.

Those who believe that the artifacts are genuine are: cryptozoologists who say that the figurines are evidence of a relict population of dinosaurs in the region who happened to come into contact with humans, those who believe that the figurines were left behind by interdimensional aliens who could travel back to the time of the dinosaurs and bring knowledge of them to Central American peoples, and young earth creationists who claim that humans and dinosaurs had to coexist to fit in with their interpretation of Genesis chapters 1-11 in the Bible.

Thermoluminescence dating was used on some figurines between 1969 and 1972 and produced a date of about 4500 years BP (Before Present), placing the age of the artifacts around 2500 BC. However, studies in 1976 and 1978 revealed that the figurines did not meet the temperature conditions required for reliable thermoluminescence dating. The dates that could be attained revealed that the objects were from the late 1930s or early 1940s – shortly before they were “discovered”.

6. The Tamam Shud Enigma: Dead Body in Australia found with Ancient Persian Code

Book cover and illustration from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

On December 1, 1948, authorities were called to Somerton beach in Adelaide, South Australia. They found a dead body on the sand of a middle-aged man in top physical condition, smartly dressed in a suit, tie, and polished black shoes. Despite the hot weather, he wore a knit pullover and suit-jacket.

His corpse revealed no obvious cause of death. Nobody knew who he was or where he had come from. After collecting the body, police examined his possessions and clothes for a hint of who he was, but the tags and labels had been carefully removed, leaving no trail.

Investigators were perplexed when they found what appeared to be a secret message stuffed in his trouser pocket. The words Tamam Shud were printed on a rolled-up scrap of paper. They found that the scrap was torn from the last page of a rare copy of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Eerily, Tamam Shud is a phrase meaning “the end” or “finished.”

In 1949, a copy of The Rubaiyat was recovered bearing the tear-marks that matched the scrap found on the body. It had been placed in the backseat of an unlocked car which had been parked along a jetty a week or two before the body was found. The car owner turned the book in to police, but requested to remain anonymous.

Under close inspection, the book revealed letters scrawled on the back cover, grouped together in no recognizable language. Detectives determined it was a secret code, and due to the tense times of the Cold War, speculated that Somerton Man was a Soviet spy murdered by unknown enemies. No governments or intelligence agencies have ever admitted to knowing the man. The Rubaiyat code was made public and many have tried to decipher it in vain – it remains uncracked.

7. Skeleton Lake and the Puzzle of Ancient Remains Frozen in Time

Human Skeletons in Roopkund Lake, aka Skeleton Lake. (Schwiki/ CC BY SA 4.0 )

Covered in ice and surrounded by rocky glaciers, Roopkund Lake appears to be a typical, albeit beautiful, natural wonder in the Indian Himalayas. However, during one month of the year, when the ice melts away and the bottom of the shallow lake becomes visible, 300 human skeletons can be seen.

The first reports of the skeletal remains date to the 19th century, but the remains were re-discovered by Nanda Devi game reserve ranger H K Madhwal in 1942. No one knew who the remains belonged to, how long they had been there, or what had happened to them, but since the skeletons were rediscovered during World War II the first assumption was that they were Japanese soldiers who had died from exposure to the elements while traveling through India. Investigations quickly found that not to be true – the remains were far too old.

Frigid temperatures and dry, cold air allowed bits of flesh, nails, and hair to be preserved as well.  In addition, pieces such as wooden artifacts, iron spearheads, leather slippers, and jewelry were discovered. Radiocarbon dating shows that the remains are from 850 AD.

Without any evidence of a nearby settlement, it is believed that the individuals were traveling when they died. In 2013, researchers concluded that it likely that the individuals had been killed in a hailstorm. The injuries on the remains indicate that each person was killed by one or more blows to the head, neck, and shoulders. But it is still a mystery who they were and how their remains came to be at the bottom of the lake.

8. Abominable Creature: The Weird Fiji Mermaid

[Top] Fiji Mermaid, in the Folklore section at the Haus der Natur (House of Nature), a natural history collection in Salzburg, Austria. ( CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 ) [Bottom] P.T. Barnums Feejee mermaid ( Public Domain )

The story of the Fiji mermaid in the United States begins with the arrival, in the middle of July 1842, of an Englishman by the name of ‘Dr. J. Griffin’ (who was actually Levi Lyman, an associate of P.T. Barnum’s), a supposed member of the ‘British Lyceum of Natural History’, in New York. Griffin, it seems, brought with him a mermaid, which was claimed to have been caught near the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific.

News of Griffin’s arrival, along with his strange specimen was known by the press, and reporters went to Griffin’s hotel, demanding to see the mermaid. When he had given them a glimpse of what he had brought with him, they were convinced that it was real.

The Fiji Mermaid was displayed in 1842 by P.T. Barnum in Barnum’s American Museum, New York and attracted many curious visitors. It would later be revealed that the Fiji mermaid was actually the top half of a juvenile monkey sown onto the bottom half of a fish.

 This creature is thought to have been made in Japan around 1810, where this was allegedly a traditional art form amongst fishermen. Barnum’s mermaid is said to have been destroyed in a fire, however some people claim the mermaid was rescued from (either one of) the fires, and is still being displayed today.

9. The Curious Disappearance of the Eilean Mor Lighthouse Keepers

In 1900, shortly after the one-year anniversary of the Eilean Mor lighthouse’s completion, something changed on the quiet little island. A captain who was passing by the area on route to Leith, Scotland, on December 15, noticed that the lighthouse’s lamp was not shining. He sent a wireless to the Cosmopolitan Line Steamers (CLS) headquarters to report the outage but, CLS failed to notify the Northern Lighthouse Board because other more pressing matters caused it to escape from memory.

Bad weather delayed the arrival of the fourth attendant who was going to replace one of the three men attending the lighthouse on December 20; he could not make the sea journey until things cleared up on December 26. That day the relief attendant was sent ashore to investigate why things seemed strange at the lighthouse.

He found it unlocked, and no fire was lit to ward off the damp coldness, the beds were unused, and the clocks had stopped. The man became worried about his fellow keepers and, returning with help, he searched the lighthouse from top to bottom. He also discovered that the light was in working order.

Three volunteers offered to stay with the fourth attendant and conduct an even more thorough search of the small island the next morning. The captain headed to the nearest telegraph station, on the Isle of Lewis, and sent a message to his employer: “A dreadful accident has happened [...]” Even now, the mystery of the lighthouse keepers disappearance remains just that, a mystery.

10. The Mystery of the Mary Celeste: Crew Vanishes from Seaworthy Ship

The Mary Celeste was a merchant brigantine captained by Benjamin Briggs, a man said to be a staunch abstainer from alcohol, a brave man, and a devout Christian. The first mate, Albert Richardson, was also considered fit to command, and was hand-picked by Captain Briggs. Additionally, Captain Brigg’s wife, his infant daughter, and six other crew members were on board the ship when the loading of the ship’s cargo – 1701 barrels of poisonous denatured alcohol took place in the end of October 1872.

On November 7, the ship left New York Harbor and sailed into the Atlantic. On December 4, the British brigantine Dei Gratia discovered the Mary Celeste sailing aimlessly between the Azores and Portugal. Upon closer inspection, the Dei Gratia crew discovered that there was no one on board the Mary Celeste and the last entry in the ship’s daily log was written on November 24 . In spite of this, the ship was still in seaworthy condition, her cargo still largely intact, and her food and water supply sufficient for six months.

It seems the crew left the ship in a panic. The ship’s only lifeboat, as well as its chronometer and sextant, were missing. Oddly, the main halyard, a sturdy rope about 8cm in circumference, was found to be broken and hanging over the side of the ship.

Nevertheless, there has not been any real consensus as to the cause of Captain Brigg’s panic, and numerous theories have been put forward why the ship was abandoned– ranging from fire to a giant squid , to the lucky discovery of a derelict ship containing treasure that led to the desertion of the Mary Celeste , and a happy ending in Spain for all who were on it.

A Family of Comets Reopens the Debate about the Origin of Earth’s Water

Where did the Earth’s water come from? Although comets, with their icy nuclei, seem like ideal candidates, analyses have so far shown that their water differs from that in our oceans.

 Now, however, an international team, bringing together CNRS researchers at the Laboratory for Studies of Radiation and Matter in Astrophysics and Atmospheres (Paris Observatory – PSL/CNRS/ Sorbonne University/University of Cergy-Pontoise) and the Laboratory of Space Studies and Instrumentation in Astrophysics (Paris Observatory – PSL/CNRS/Sorbonne University/University of Paris), has found that one family of comets, the hyperactive comets, contains water similar to terrestrial water.

The study, published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics on May 20, 2019, is based in particular on measurements of comet 46P/Wirtanen carried out by SOFIA, NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy.

According to the standard theory, the Earth is thought to have formed from the collision of small celestial bodies known as planetesimals. Since such bodies were poor in water, Earth’s water must have been delivered either by a larger planetesimal or by a shower of smaller objects such as asteroids or comets.

To trace the source of terrestrial water, researchers study isotopic ratios1, and in particular the ratio in water of deuterium to hydrogen, known as the D/H ratio (deuterium is a heavier form of hydrogen). As a comet approaches the Sun, its ice sublimes2, forming an atmosphere of water vapour that can be analysed remotely. However, the D/H ratios of comets measured so far have generally been twice to three times that of ocean water, which implies that comets only delivered around 10% of the Earth’s water.

When comet 46P/Wirtanen approached the Earth in December 2018 it was analysed using the SOFIA airborne observatory, carried aboard a Boeing aircraft. This was the third comet found to exhibit the same D/H ratio as terrestrial water. Like the two previous comets, it belongs to the category of hyperactive comets which, as they approach the Sun, release more water than the surface area of their nucleus should allow. The excess is produced by ice-rich particles present in their atmosphere.

Intrigued, the researchers determined the active fraction (i.e. the fraction of the nucleus surface area required to produce the amount of water present in their atmosphere) of all comets with a known D/H ratio. They found that there was an inverse correlation between the active fraction and the D/H ratio of the water vapour: the more a comet tends towards hyperactivity (i.e. an active fraction exceeding 1), the more its D/H ratio decreases and approaches that of the Earth.

Hyperactive comets, whose water vapour is partially derived from icy grains expelled into their atmosphere, thus have a D/H ratio similar to that of terrestrial water, unlike comets whose gas halo is produced only by surface ice. The researchers suggest that the D/H ratios measured in the atmosphere of the latter are not necessarily indicative of the ice present in their nucleus. If this hypothesis is correct, the water in all cometary nuclei may in fact be very similar to terrestrial water, reopening the debate on the origin of Earth’s oceans.

A video shared on Twitter shows a bright UFO passing the Popocatépetl Volcano's crater.

Over the years, there have been countless UFO sightings and mysterious light flying across the Popocatépetl volcano.

Two well known UFO events are for example a brightly lit, cigar-shaped UFO appearing to plunge right into the top of Popocatepetl captured on November 6, 2012 and an unknown luminous flying object over the erupting volcano captured on December 19, 2000.

Chile Navy Record Proof That UFOs Make Clouds! Nov 11, 2014, Video, UFO Sighting News.

 

Date of sighting: Nov 11, 2014

Location of sighting: Chile

Source: Chilian Navy

Camera: Infrared

Most of the public around the world still is in the dark about an important fact about UFOs. That they can create clouds fast and easily to hide within. We all have seen fighter jets and passenger jets creating these clouds called contrails behind them, but have you ever seen a UFO do a similar trick? In this video taken in 2014 by the Chilean Navy as they follow a UFO we see some very important things that give us deep insight into the tech capabilities of UFOs.

1. They can make a thick and huge chem trail instantly, just as fighter jets do.

2. They can shoot out clouds from 4 or more directions to help hide its true shape and probably to make clouds to hide within. 

3. Infrared camcorders break through any cloaks and reveal any invisible craft in the sky. (Although invisible to the naked eye).

I don't believe the UFO was aware that the Navy craft was recording in infrared, revealing the alien ship. Otherwise the UFO would not have tried to distract the Navy craft by making a chem trail, which was meant to take the attention onto the cloud, and away from the UFO. Also the three facts that I cite above help UFO researchers worldwide. They are only three things, but it gives us three more facts that we didn't have earlier about identifying UFOs.  

A few more facts...from other cases I studied.
4. UFOs make holes though clouds when they move at high speeds. (O'Hare Airport case).
5. Holes in clouds made by UFOs can remain for up to 20 minutes after the event. (O'Hare Airport Case).

There are many more, but...lets save something for later.

Dark UFO Crossing Over UFO Over Poland, Warsaw, May 12, 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: May 12, 2019

Location of sighing: Warsaw, Poland

 

This UFO was caught flying over a neighbourhood of Warsaw, Poland this week. The UFO has an odd shape of a layered square. It has no wings, strings, or anything that would indicates its anything other than a UFO. The eyewitness was Wolfik555 of Youtube and shows a half minute of this UFO crossing overhead. I also noticed there is a distorted field around it. This is often normally seen for real UFOs, due to the alien propulsion system causing a energy build up around it.

THE MEDIA LOVES THIS UFO EXPERT WHO SAYS HE WORKED FOR AN OBSCURE PENTAGON PROGRAM. DID HE?

Keith Kloor

ONE OF THE first images in the opening episode of the new History Channel show “Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation” is a 2017 headline from the New York Times projected on a flickering screen: “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious UFO Program.”

It’s the story that launched Luis Elizondo into the public eye, the article that “shocked the world,” the narrator of “Unidentified” declares, before continuing, “A clandestine U.S. government program had been investigating UFOs. For eight years, the secret program was run by this man, Lue Elizondo.” The camera then pans to a visual of the former military intelligence case officer in a darkened house peering out warily through half-drawn window shades.

It’s an odd scene. Is Elizondo on the lookout for aliens or a bad guy from his old spook life? Either way, the History Channel show, which premiered on Friday and is being promoted as “groundbreaking nonfiction,” goes on to follow Elizondo as he re-investigates strange UFO incidents he says he learned of when he was at the Pentagon running the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, known as AATIP. It’s as if Agent Mulder had handed off his X-Files to another paranoid government agent, this one with a pug face and billy-goat beard. In the screener I saw for “Unidentified,” the narrator says that Elizondo quit the Pentagon because he was “frustrated by what he says was a cover-up.”

Whatever the truth about otherworldly UFOs (cue a collective eye-roll from scientists), there is one crucial detail missing from “Unidentified,” as well as from all the many stories that have quoted Elizondo since he outed himself nearly two years ago to a wide-eyed news media: There is no discernible evidence that he ever worked for a government UFO program, much less led one.

Yes, AATIP existed, and it “did pursue research and investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena,” Pentagon spokesperson Christopher Sherwood told me. However, he added: “Mr. Elizondo had no responsibilities with regard to the AATIP program while he worked in OUSDI [the Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence], up until the time he resigned effective 10/4/2017.”

That directly contradicts an email sent by a spokesperson for To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science, a UFO research and entertainment company that Elizondo joined after he left the Defense Department.

There is no discernible evidence that Luis Elizondo ever worked for a government UFO program, much less led one.

The email was sent over a year ago by Kari DeLonge, a public relations representative for To the Stars, to John Greenewald, a UFO researcher who runs an online archive of Freedom of Information Act-obtained government documents on a website called the Black Vault. At the time, Greenewald had become frustrated at the lack of tangible information about AATIP and Elizondo’s role; additionally, Elizondo had spurned Greenewald’s interview requests.

Greenewald told me that he had asked DeLonge specifically where Elizondo worked within the Department of Defense when he ran AATIP.

“Hi John – Thanks for reaching out,” DeLonge wrote. “The program was initially run out of [the Defense Intelligence Agency] but when Lue took it over in 2010 as Director, he ran it out of the Office for the Secretary of Defense (OSD) under the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USDI). Hope that clarifies.”

I tried contacting Elizondo multiple times via email and his cellphone. He has not responded. It’s not as if he is on retreat somewhere; I noticed that in the run-up to his star turn on the new History Channel show, he has been speaking to everyone from the New York Times to UFO media personalities and military bloggers.

Indeed, judging by all the UFO stories lighting up the internet this week, the self-described “career spy” is having another big moment in the media spotlight. The timing is either an auspicious coincidence or the “flying saucers are here” brigade’s well-oiled PR machine is working overtime.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT DETAIL being glossed over or entirely left out of the breathless coverage surrounding the release of “Unidentified” is the relationship between its executive producer, Tom DeLonge, Elizondo, and other former Pentagon officials and members of the intelligence community who appear in the show.

DeLonge, a musician of Blink-182 fame and longtime UFO enthusiast, is the co-founder and interim CEO of To the Stars, the company Elizondo joined in October 2017, several days after he resigned from the Department of Defense. Since the company’s inception, certain members of its “elite team,” including Elizondo, have appeared frequently in the news media.

This week is a prime example. Another former Pentagon official with a prominent role in “Unidentified” appeared several days ago on “Fox & Friends.”

“We know that UFOs exist,” Chris Mellon, a deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence in the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, pronounced on the show. “This is no longer an issue. The issue is why are they here? Where are they coming from? And what is the technology behind these devices that we are observing?”

Mellon, like Elizondo, works for To the Stars (his title, according to the company’s website, is national security affairs adviser). “Fox & Friends” neglected to mention this connection, along with the fact that the History Channel show was made by the company Elizondo and Mellon work for.

I’m not surprised. By now, Elizondo and Mellon have come to rely on a largely passive and credulous press to generate sensational UFO headlines.

AMID THE MOUNTAIN of media coverage of Elizondo in the last two years, I have found only one story that provides official confirmation that he headed the government UFO program known as AATIP.

“Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White confirmed to Politico that the program existed and was run by Elizondo,” Bryan Bender wrote in December 2017. (Earlier this year, White, a Trump administration political appointee, resigned amid an internal probe into charges of misconduct.)

But Pentagon spokesperson Christopher Sherwood told me that he “cannot confirm” White’s statement.

As it happens, Bender, who is Politico’s defense editor, had a recurring role in the first episode of “Unidentified.” He appeared on camera numerous times as a kind of authoritative character witness for Elizondo, Mellon, and their UFO investigations.

“If you were trying to come up with the A-team of former, high-level government officials who would come forward on this issue, you can’t really think of a better team,” Bender says in the screener. “Lue Elizondo, Chris Mellon — these guys still have security clearances, still have networks in Washington, still are in the business, if you will.”

“We know that UFOs exist. This is no longer an issue. The issue is why are they here? Where are they coming from? And what is the technology behind these devices that we are observing?”

That last part sounds like a cryptic reference to contract work they might be doing for a U.S. intelligence agency or some other government entity. Elizondo confirmed to me earlier this year that he is, in fact, working as a government contractor, “but it’s not what you think it is,” he said. Mellon did not respond to my request for comment.

In the feverish UFO community, in which conspiracy theories have long thrived like a mutating virus (sometimes with good reason), somesuspect that DeLonge is being played like a useful idiot — and that his To the Stars Academy is a front for some kind of black ops project.

If he is not a stooge, he is certainly an odd figure for Mellon and Elizondo to hitch their wagons to.

In fact, the whole origin story of To the Stars, which DeLonge recapped in a bizarre public rollout in October 2017 and in an even more bizarre interview with podcast host Joe Rogan, is pretty bananas. In sum, DeLonge claims that he is the military’s chosen vessel for UFO disclosure.

“Why you?” Rogan asked on his podcast. “What could you do?”

“Communication,” DeLong responded. “They don’t have a way to make a movie, a book. They don’t have a way to go on a show like this.”

It’s worth noting that, several years before DeLonge took on this momentous communications assignment, he created a website called Strange Times that was essentially a clearinghouse for UFO news and conspiracies. “Think of it as a Huffington Post for the tin-foil-helmet wearing crowd,” wrote one music blogger.

Somehow, we are to believe that this is the mindset with which staid former members of the military and intelligence community sought to join forces. But perhaps there’s a more innocent answer. To the Stars, which raised more than $2 million from investors, was originally hyped as a UFO research company that would explore the “outer edges of science,” but its Security and Exchange Commission filing identifies it as a “Motion Picture & Video Tape Production” concern.

That designation seems appropriate now with the making of “Unidentified,” which lists DeLonge as executive producer. (He is also prominently featured in the show.) He appears to be having the last laugh at everyone who called him looney tunes for having chased after Bigfoot and flying saucers in the Nevada desert.

THE ADVANCED AEROSPACE Threat Identification Program received widespread press coverage after Elizondo disclosed its existence almost two years ago. “You can laugh if you want, but a lot of people are taking this revelation seriously,” Brett Baer said on Fox News days after the New York Times broke the story with its lavish front-page Sunday spread on December 17, 2017.

Virtually overnight, Elizondo went from living “in the shadows,” in his words, to hopscotching between cable news studios, where he talked gravely about  hypersonic, gravity-defying “unidentified aerial vehicles” that, in recent years, had encroached on military training areas in restricted airspace. Many of these reports were conveniently illustrated with videos taken from cockpit cameras of F-18 fighter jets that Elizondo had arranged for the Pentagon to release just before he quit. The grainy footage of tiny, darting objects, combined with Elizondo’s earnest claims of “compelling evidence” for “phenomena” he couldn’t identify, made for great television. (Sherwood, the Pentagon spokesperson, said the videos were released “for research purposes … and not for general public release,” which seems a meaningless distinction given their widespread use by news organizations.)

Months later, after the attention from the mainstream media died down, Elizondo hit the UFO banquet circuit, where he stroked the egos of believers. “People may have associated you with being fringe or out there,” he told one rapt audience of hundreds at a UFO conference last July. “All along, you were right.” It was the first public forum in which Elizondo laid out the history and objectives of the AATIP; soundbites from his talk were sprinkled throughout the first episode of “Unidentified.”

By then, though, longtime UFO researchers were having trouble finding out what the program exactly did, as well as the scope of Elizondo’s role. FOIA requests were turning up dry.

The grainy footage of tiny, darting objects, combined with Elizondo’s earnest claims of “compelling evidence” for “phenomena” he couldn’t identify, made for great television.

Elizondo was ready for them. “In the Department of Defense, there’s always a paper trail,” he told the audience at the UFO conference. “When you establish an organization, there’s a paper trail. When you dis-establish an organization, there’s a paper trail. You won’t find one for this program.”

Some dubious, unofficial documents leaked out to George Knapp, a Las Vegas TV journalist who, for decades, has been a fixture in the UFO media orbit. Knapp has been a vocal defender of Elizondo and DeLonge for the past two years, pushing back on critics who have raised thorny questions about To the Stars. Knapp also purchased stock in the company, something he has not always revealed to readers and viewers in his reporting.

In an email to The Intercept, Knapp acknowledged buying 400 shares of the academy’s stock in 2018, “not as an investment, but as a way to support their fledgling company and their work.” He wrote that he had “made that information public” and “informed” his employer” at KLAS-TV in Las Vegas. Knapp also said that he put the shares in a trust that “would be donated to a charity.” He believes that transaction has been completed and that he now owns “zero stock” in the company, he wrote.

As it happens, Knapp also appeared in the first episode of “Unidentified,” lauding DeLonge for his “unprecedented” efforts in advancing the UFO issue.

Another fixture in the UFO orbit is John Greenewald, the FOIA researcher and a sort of antithesis to Knapp. Initially enthusiastic about To the Stars, Greenewald became increasingly skeptical when he was unable to verify many of Elizondo’s claims about the government’s UFO program through FOIA requests and conversations with Pentagon representatives. So last year, Greenewald reached out to To the Stars spokesperson Kari DeLonge (Tom’s sister) for more information about Elizondo’s involvement in AATIP.

Former US defense official: We know UFOs are real - here's why that's concerning

By Anna Hopkins | Fox News

New History Channel series explores UFO sightings by Navy pilots

'Unidentified' gives military personnel on the frontlines a voice about what they are encountering in the skies.

After a bombshell report detailing near-daily interactions with unidentified flying objects by Navy pilots in 2014 and 2015, Christopher Mellon has argued that this information is nothing new, and the government needs to do something about it.

Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, is involved with a new History Channel series, 'Unidentified,' which will expand on topics discussed in a recent New York Times article. In numerous interviews, Navy pilots revealed that they saw UFOs moving at hypersonic speeds, performing acts “beyond the physical limits of a human crew,” and emitting "no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes."

In a Wednesday morning interview with "Fox & Friends," Mellon, who has written extensively on the topic before, outlined the reasons the Navy is concerned about these sightings.

"We know that UFOs exist. This is no longer an issue," he said. "The issue is why are they here? Where are they coming from and what is the technology behind these devices that we are observing?"

There are indications, Mellon said, that the objects reported by Navy pilots in 2014 and 2015 were doing things that aren't possible in this physical realm.

The speeds being reported (about 5,000 miles per hour, according to Mellon) were only sustainable for about an hour by an aircraft in the air, and these objects would be flying around all day long, the pilots said.

"Pilots observing these craft are absolutely mystified and that comes through clearly in their public statements," Mellon continued.

Fascination turned to fear one day, however, when a Super Hornet pilot said he almost collided with one of the objects — which he described as a sphere encasing a cube. An official report was filed, and the incident shattered the previous theory by Navy pilots that the objects were a part of some sort of extremely classified drone operation.

"These are reactions between intelligently controlled vehicles operating in and around U.S. military facilities, hence the concern," Mellon explained.

"One: there have been near mid-air collisions so there is a safety issue. Two, there is a vital national security issue which is that our sovereignty is being violated by vehicles of unknown origin," he continued.

Although all of this information is old news to Mellon, it's taken America by storm, and he says we're hardly the only country to have interactions with these objects. Having written extensively about UFO sightings before, Mellon said he's frustrated with the lack of action being taken by the government, as are the Navy pilots who experienced the sightings.

He decided that the only way to make progress was to release this information to the public in the form of his new show, and television interviews.

"We are giving military personnel on the front line a voice," he said. "We are helping them get out the message of what it is they are encountering and why they are so concerned about it."

NOG EVEN  EN WE WORDEN OVERAL OP AARDE LEVEND GEROOSTERD ( VIDEO )

Afgelopen week was er veel opwinding over de vermeende ufo’s in de lucht boven ons land. 

Iedereen was het erover eens dat de stroom Space X 5G satellieten een prachtig gezicht is aan de hemel

Je kunt er even van genieten, maar dan…… 



Het betrof hier de lancering van 60 5G satellieten, een klein voorproefje van wat er gaat komen. Het bedrijf SpaceX (Elon Musk) gaat in totaal 12.000 van dit soort satellieten in een omloopbaan om de aarde brengen, gevolgd door nog eens 8.000 van andere bedrijven. 

Dit feit zal er voor zorgen dat onze nachthemel er voor altijd anders uit zal zien en je straks waarschijnlijk meer satellieten aan de hemel ziet dan sterren. Een beetje vergelijkbaar met een enorm windmolenpark in zee. 

Astronomen beginnen nu al te klagen over dat dit ook straks grote gevolgen zal hebben voor hun onderzoek in de ruimte, niet alleen door de vervuiling in de lucht, maar ook door de straling die de ruimte in wordt gestuurd. Dit zal vooral onderzoek naar bijvoorbeeld zwarte gaten kunnen verstoren, omdat men ook daar gebruikmaakt van elektromagnetische golven. Elon Musk kan daar niet zo van wakker liggen en zegt: “Dan sturen ze hun telescopen maar de ruimte in”. 

Wanneer alle 5G satellieten eenmaal operationeel zijn, dan zal er geen plekje op aarde meer zijn dat vrij van straling is. Deze straling is hoog frequent en valt in het 12 tot 42 GHz gebied. 

De satellieten zijn nodig als ondersteuning van de miljoenen zendmasten die op aarde geplaatst zullen worden. Die ondersteuning is weer nodig omdat de golflengte van 5G signalen vele malen korten is dan de huidige 4G. 

Alle huidige apparaten, inclusief Wifi opereren onder 3GHz, het zogenaamde microgolf spectrum. De golflengtes in dit gebied zijn vele centimeters groot. Een smartphone die opereert op 800 MHz heeft bijvoorbeeld een golflengte van 37,5 centimeter. Wifi gebruikt de 2,4 GHz frequentie en opereert met golflengtes van ongeveer 12 centimeter. 

Wanneer we in de hogere frequenties terechtkomen worden de golflengtes aanmerkelijk korter. Bij een frequentie van bijvoorbeeld 30 GHz praten we over een golflengte in millimeters en komen we terecht in de regio van extreem hoge frequenties. Tot op heden is dit soort frequenties nog heel weinig gebruikt en met de komst van 5G komen we dan in een totaal nieuw scenario voor wat betreft de gevolgen voor mens en natuur. 

Omdat de golflengtes vele malen korter zijn is het bereik ook vele malen minder en dat betekent dat er minimaal iedere honderd meter ergens een zendmast moet staan om een voldoende krachtig signaal te krijgen. 

Dat betekent ook dat bomen bijvoorbeeld obstakels vormen. Omdat 5g straling minder krachtig is vanwege de korte golflengte zullen er ook meer obstakels zijn zoals bijvoorbeeld bomen. Dat is de reden dat overal massaal bomen worden gekapt en een goed voorbeeld hiervan ontvingen we van Bert (dank!) waar je tussen de gekapte/gekortwiekte bomen in Sneek de zendmast ziet opdoemen. 

Het volgende is wat Bert schrijft:

In Sneek zijn we er klaar voor, alle wijken hebben nu hun eigen 5G toren. We hebben al contact opgenomen met de gemeente wat en wanneer er iets staat te gebeuren echter niemand daar weet ook maar iets te vertellen over 5G. Impressie foto, twee prachtige bomen volledig gekortwiekt voor de 5G toren op de achtergrond, tussen de bomen.

Omdat de golflengtes kort zijn bij 5G, worden talloze kleine antennes/zenders gebundeld, waardoor je een heel krachtige straal krijgt. De antennes/zenders die straks bijvoorbeeld in lantaarnpalen worden gemonteerd zullen zo'n 1.000 antennes bevatten, waardoor er toch een heel krachtige straal zal ontstaan. 

En wanneer jij als mens door zo’n sterk geconcentreerde straal loopt, treedt er nog een ander effect op en dat heeft te maken met de zogenaamde Brillouin precursors. 

De bewegende lading die het lichaam binnenstroomt gaat functioneren als een aantal antennes/zenders die het elektromagnetisch veld nog eens veel dieper het organisme in stuurt. Deze opnieuw gestraalde golven worden Brillouin precursors genoemd, vernoemd naar de Franse natuurkundige Leon Brillouin die deze in 1914 ontdekte. Onderzoek wijst erop dat deze precursors een verwoestend effect hebben op levende cellen. 

Door voorstanders van 5G wordt altijd gezegd dat omdat er een hogere golflengte wordt gebruikt deze minder diep het menselijk lichaam in zouden komen dan bij 4G. Dat is dus niet waar, het omgekeerde is het geval, dankzij de Brillouin precursors. In je eigen lichaam bevindt zich dan een zender die de stralen nogmaals verstuurt, steeds dieper je lichaam in. 

Ondanks dit alles vindt onze overheid het totaal overbodig om onderzoek te doen naar de gezondheidsaspecten van 5G. 

Ter herinnering, maak misschien nog even gebruik van de Orjana aanbieding van deze week om je lichaam te helpen. Koop een fles uitstekende kwaliteit Orjana colloïdaal zilverwater met tien procent korting. Via deze link vind je een aantal artikelen die vertellen hoe colloïdaal zilverwater je kan helpen bij een scenario aan gezondheidsproblemen zoals ontstekingen.

Vul bij het afrekenen de code (zilver) in en ontvang de korting. Aanbieding is geldig tot en met maandag 3 juni 2019. Codes die niet in het daarvoor bestemde kortingsbonnenveldje worden ingevuld maken geen aanspraak op de korting.

MEER DAN 500 TORNADO's IN 30 DAGEN in USA ( VIDEO )

Amerika is afgelopen week opgeschrikt door een niet aflatende stroom tornado’s. 

Niet alleen werd een record aantal tornado’s geregistreerd, maar ook hier speelt weer een sinistere agenda, die weinig met de natuur te maken heeft.

Een zwerm tornado’s, zo dicht op elkaar gepakt dat de één soms niet van de ander was te onderscheiden, heeft een enorme ravage aangericht in de Amerikaanse staten Indiana en Ohio. Eén persoon kwam om het leven en zeker 130 anderen raakten gewond. Zo’n 5 miljoen mensen zitten zonder stroom. 

Door de kracht van de tornado’s werden daken van huizen geblazen, ramen gebroken en vielen bomen en elektriciteitspalen om. Voor sommige scholieren werd het schooljaar extra vroeg beëindigd vanwege schade aan schoolgebouwen, zo meldt persbureau AP. 

De mainstream media brengen braaf de verhalen en spreken over situaties die nog niet eerder zijn voorgekomen. Zo veel tornado’s in een kort tijdsbestek zo vroeg in het jaar. 

En dat het er veel zijn is duidelijk; meer dan 500 tornado’s in de afgelopen 30 dagen in de Verenigde Staten is nu niet bepaald normaal te noemen. 

Afgelopen dinsdag was de 12e dag op rij dat er minimaal 8 tornado’s voor kwamen en dat is een absoluut record. De schade in de Midwest is dan ook enorm en veel plaatsen zien eruit alsof er een allesvernietigende oorlog heeft plaatsgevonden. 

De schade loopt in de miljarden dollars en het einde lijkt nog lang niet in zicht. 

De vraag die zich dan vervolgens aandient is of deze tornado’s natuurlijk zijn of bewust gecreëerd door de mens? Dat deze technieken er zijn is niets nieuws en wij schrijven er dan ook al jaren over. 

Het zal dan misschien ook niemand verbazen dat ook hier de sporen weer wijzen naar geo-engineering.

Zes jaar geleden schreven wij al het volgende over systemen zoals HAARP, waarmee men in staat is het weer te beïnvloeden.

De ontwikkeling van de zogenaamde “weerwapens” zoals HAARP, wordt door de meeste mensen aan de kant geschoven als een paranoïde verhaal, het werk van een scriptschrijver voor een sciencefiction film en aanhangers van samenzweringstheorieën, maar het is een feit dat ze al tientallen jaren bestaan. 

Niemand minder dan de vroeger Amerikaanse Minister van Defensie, William Cohen, heeft diverse keren gesproken over de ontwikkeling van aan weer gerelateerde wapens, of om meer specifiek te zijn, de technieken om weersituaties te creëren die offensieve militaire operaties kunnen ondersteunen. 

Het zijn wapens die nu ingezet worden tegen de eigen bevolking om hoe dan ook de klimaatagenda erdoor te rammen. Of beter gezegd, Agenda21 die later is veranderd naar de 2030 Agenda. 

oor meer achtergrondinformatie hierover verwijzen naar eerdere artikelen, waarin duidelijk wordt gemaakt hoe het beruchte Agenda21 plan is ontstaan. 

Een duivels plan dat inmiddels is vervangen door de 2030Agenda en er op is gericht om het gepeupel onder te brengen inmini appartementen in megasteden, terwijl de rest van de wereld in ongerepte staat beschikbaar zal blijven voor de elite en uiteraard is het de burger die voor dit alles betaalt. 

Het moet en zal er bij de bevolking in worden geramd dat zij verantwoordelijk zijn voor al deze rampen en dat zij daarvoor nu de prijs moeten gaan betalen in de vorm van steeds hoger wordende belastingen voor “het klimaat” en het steeds meer verliezen van vrijheden om “het milieu te beschermen”. 

De onderstaande video geeft een beeld van wat er gebeurde de afgelopen dagen en toont ook aan dat HAARP wel degelijk een systeem is waarmee dit soort tornado’s kunnen worden gemaakt.
