NASA Photographs Giant Starfleet Emblem from ‘Star Trek’ on Mars
NASA Photographs Giant Starfleet Emblem from ‘Star Trek’ on Mars
Are Martians obsessive Star Trek fans? How infuriating would it be if Mars turned out to be inhabited by a civilized society that was absolutely ruined by the re-runs TV shows we’ve been blasting out in all directions? Perhaps a friendly debate over who was the best captain of the USS Enterprise (it’s Picard, and yeah that’s probably the most common answer but it also happens to be correct) would be a good icebreaker when we make first contact. These are things we need to start thinking about, as apparently there’s a giant Starfleet logo on the surface of Mars. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) recently photographed a geological structure on the surface of Mars that looks nearly identical to the insignia worn by the members of Starfleet through every iteration of “Star Trek.”
The formation was spotted on a sand dune in the volcanic plain of Hellas Plantia on Mars. Ross Beyer of the SETI Institute tweeted the picture and said:
“Enterprising viewers will make the discovery that these features look conspicuously like a famous logo.”

Yep. It sure does. But Beyer says that it’s only a coincidence that it looks like the Starfleet logo. Meaning that it wasn’t drawn by Martians who’s only reprieve from their boring, boring world is our TV shows. According to Beyer, the structure is a result of the complex interactions between sand, lava, and wind. He writes:
Long ago, there were large crescent-shaped (barchan) dunes that moved across this area, and at some point, there was an eruption. The lava flowed out over the plain and around the dunes, but not over them. The lava solidified, but these dunes still stuck up like islands. However, they were still just dunes, and the wind continued to blow. Eventually, the sand piles that were the dunes migrated away, leaving these “footprints” in the lava plain. These are also called “dune casts” and record the presence of dunes that were surrounded by lava.

Although, the coincidences do go a little bit further. In the pilot episode of the latest Star Trek series, “Star Trek: Discovery,” Captain Philippa Georgiou and Commander Michael Burnham are stranded on Mars and draw a giant Starfleet logo in the sand to signal their location.

In any case, it’s just about the best pop-culture reference we could ask to find on an alien planet. In a world that seems to be heading towards a future more reminiscent of “Blade Runner” than the optimism and spirit of exploration in “Star Trek,” perhaps we need a heavenly reminder to boldly go where no one has gone before.
In 1997, three years after the Air Force published its report suggesting that what came down on the Foster Ranch, Lincoln County, New Mexico in early July 1947 was a Mogul balloon designed to monitor for early Soviet atomic tests, its staff came up with a new theory for the Roswell affair. This one addressed the highly controversial issue of bodies having been found on the ranch and near to the huge debris site discovered by rancher William Brazel. The 1997 report was titled The Roswell Report: Case Closed. Although I don’t personally endorse the Air Force’s angle on the bodies, I did at least read the report from start to finish. Over the years, though, I have come across more than a few people in Ufology who didn’t even bother reading what the Air Force had to say – which is certainly not the best way to evaluate the data, correct or not. So, I figured that today I would share with you what the Air Force had to say in its 1997 report. In a foreword to the report, Sheila Widnall, the Secretary of the Air Force at the time, said the following:
“The ‘Roswell Incident’ has assumed a central place in American folklore since the events of the 1940s in a remote area of New Mexico. Because the Air Force was a major player in those events, we have played a key role in executing the General Accounting Office’s tasking to uncover all records regarding that incident. Our objective throughout this inquiry has been simple and consistent: to find all the facts and bring them to light. If documents were classified, declassify them; where they were dispersed, bring them into a single source for public review. In July 1994, we completed the first step in that effort and later published The Roswell Report: Fact vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert. This volume represents the necessary follow-on to that first publication and contains additional material and analysis. I think that with this publication we have reached our goal of a complete and open explanation of the events that occurred in the Southwest many years ago. Beyond that achievement, this inquiry has shed fascinating light into the Air Force of that era and revitalized our appreciation for the dedication and accomplishments of the men and women of that time. As we celebrate the Air Force’s 50th Anniversary, it is appropriate to once again reflect on the sacrifices made by so many to make ours the finest air and space force in history.”
On its decision to finally address the matter of the bodies allegedly found on the Foster Ranch, the Air Force began as follows: “The July 1994 Air Force report concluded that the predecessor to the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army Air Forces, did indeed recover material near Roswell in July 1947. This 1,000-page report methodically explains that what was recovered by the Army Air Forces was not the remnants of an extraterrestrial spacecraft and its alien crew, but debris from an Army Air Forces balloon-borne research project code named Mogul. Although Mogul components clearly accounted for the claims of ‘flying saucer’ debris recovered in 1947, lingering questions remained concerning anecdotal accounts that included descriptions of ‘alien’ bodies. The issue of ‘bodies’ was not discussed extensively in the 1994 report because there were not any bodies connected with events that occurred in 1947. The extensive Secretary of the Air Force-directed search of Army Air Forces and U.S. Air Force records from 1947 did not yield information that even suggested the 1947 ‘Roswell’ events were anything other than the retrieval of the Mogul equipment.”
The Air Force then got to the point: “Subsequent to the 1994 report, Air Force researchers discovered information that provided a rational explanation for the alleged observations of alien bodies associated with the ‘Roswell Incident.’ Pursuant to the discovery, research efforts compared documented Air Force activities to the incredible claims of ‘flying saucers,’ ‘aliens’ and seemingly unusual Air Force involvement. This in-depth examination revealed that these accounts, in most instances, were of actual Air Force activities but were seriously flawed in several major areas, most notably: the Air Force operations that inspired reports of ‘bodies’ (in addition to being earthly in origin) did not occur in 1947. It appears that UFO proponents have failed to establish the accurate dates for these ‘alien’ observations (in some instances by more than a decade) and then erroneously linked them to the actual Project Mogul debris recovery. This report discusses the results of this further research and identifies the likely sources of the claims of ‘alien’ bodies. Contrary to allegations that the Air Force has engaged in a cover-up and possesses dark secrets involving the Roswell claims, some of the accounts appear to be descriptions of unclassified and widely publicized Air Force scientific achievements.”
The military expanded: “Air Force activities which occurred over a period of many years have been consolidated and are now represented to have occurred in two or three days in July 1947. ‘Aliens’ observed in the New Mexico desert were probably anthropomorphic test dummies that were carried aloft by U.S. Air Force high altitude balloons for scientific research. The ‘unusual’ military activities in the New Mexico desert were high altitude research balloon launch and recovery operations. The reports of military units that always seemed to arrive shortly after the crash of a flying saucer to retrieve the saucer and ‘crew’ were actually accurate descriptions of Air Force personnel engaged in anthropomorphic dummy recovery operations. Claims of bodies at the Roswell Army Air Field hospital were most likely a combination of two separate incidents:
1) a 1956 KC-97 aircraft accident in which 11 Air Force members lost their lives; and,
2) a 1959 manned balloon mishap in which two Air Force pilots were injured.”
That amounted to the Air Force’s final words: nothing stranger than crash-test dummies, and not a single alien anywhere in sight. Let’s now jump back and see how, specifically, the Air Force reached that conclusion. The report stated: “The most puzzling and intriguing element of the complex series of events now known as the Roswell Incident, are the alleged sightings of alien bodies. The bodies turned what, for many years, was just another flying saucer story, into what many UFO proponents claim is the best case for extraterrestrial visitation of Earth. The importance of bodies and the assumptions made as to their origin is illustrated in a passage from a popular Roswell book: ‘Crashed saucers are one thing, and could well turn out to be futuristic American or even foreign aircraft or missiles. But alien bodies are another matter entirely, and hardly subject to misinterpretation?'”
In a section of the Air Force’s report titled “Test Dummies Used by the U.S. Air Force,” the Air Force provided the following words: “Since the beginning of manned flight, designers have sought a substitute for the human body to test hazardous new equipment. Early devices used by the predecessors of the U.S. Air Force were simply constructed parachute drop test dummies with little similarity to the human form. Following World War II, aircraft emergency escape systems became increasingly sophisticated and engineers required a dummy with more humanlike characteristics.” The Air Force continued with a history of how and under what circumstances the military decided to make good use of crash-test dummies: “During World War I research and development of the first U.S. military parachute was underway at McCook Field, Ohio. To test the parachute, engineers experimented with several types of dummies, settling on a model constructed of three-inch hemp rope and sandbags with the approximate proportions of a medium-sized man. 30 The new invention was soon known by the nickname ‘Dummy Joe.’ Dummy Joe is said to have made more than five thousand ‘jumps’ between 1918 and 1924.
“By 1924, parachutes were required on military aircraft with their serviceability tested by dummies dropped from aircraft. For this routine testing, several types of dummies were used. Parachutes were individually drop- tested from aircraft until the early stages of World War II, when, due both to increased reliability and large numbers of parachutes in service, this routine practice was discontinued. Nonetheless, test dummies were still used frequently by the Parachute Branch of Air Materiel Command (AMC) at Wright Field, Ohio, to test new parachute designs.”
The Air Force then turned its attention to the matter of what was undertaken in the 1949 and onward era (which is decidedly strange, indeed, since the Roswell affair occurred midway through 1947, two years earlier): “In 1949, the U.S. Air Force Aero Medical Laboratory submitted a proposal for an improved model of the anthropomorphic dummy. This request was originated by the renowned Air Force scientist and physician John P. Stapp, now a retired Colonel, who conducted a series of landmark experiments at Muroc (now Edwards) AFB, Calif., to measure the effects of acceleration and deceleration during high-speed aircraft ejections.”
As the Air Force noted: “Stapp required a dummy that had the same center of gravity and articulation as a human, but, unlike the Ted Smith dummy, was more human in appearance. A more accurate external appearance was required to provide for the proper fit of helmets, oxygen masks, and other equipment used during the tests. Stapp requested the Anthropology Branch of the Aero Medical Laboratory at Wright Field to review anthropological, orthopedic, and engineering literature to prepare specifications for the new dummy. Plaster casts of the torso, legs, and arms of an Air Force pilot were also taken to assure accuracy. The result was a proposed dummy that stood 72 inches tall, weighed 200 pounds, had provisions for mounting instrumentation, and could withstand up to 100 times the force of gravity.
“In 1949, a contract was awarded to Sierra Engineering Company of Sierra Madre, Calif., and deliveries began in 1950. This dummy quickly became known as “Sierra Sam.” In 1952, a contract for anthropomorphic dummies was awarded to Alderson Research Laboratories, Inc., of New York City. Dummies constructed by both companies possessed the same basic characteristics: a skeleton of aluminum or steel, latex or plastic skin, a cast aluminum skull, and an instrument cavity in the torso and head for the mounting of strain gauges, accelerometers, transducers, and rate gyros. Models used by the Air Force were primarily parachute drop and ejection seat versions with center of gravity tolerances within one quarter inch.”
Now, we get to the heart of the matter: the Air Force’s rationale for believing that Roswell’s “alien bodies” were really nothing stranger than dummies. The report states: “Over the next several years the two companies improved and redesigned internal structures and instrumentation, but the basic external appearance of the dummies remained relatively constant from the mid-1950s to the late 1960s. Dummies of these types were most likely the ‘aliens’ associated with the ‘Roswell Incident.’ Anthropomorphic dummies were transported to altitudes up to 98,000 feet by high altitude balloons. The dummies were then released for a period of free-fall while body movements and escape equipment performance were recorded by a variety of instruments. Forty-three high altitude balloon flights carrying anthropomorphic dummies were launched and recovered throughout New Mexico between June 1954 and February 1959. 44 Due to prevailing wind conditions, operational factors and ruggedness of the terrain, the majority of dummies impacted outside the confines of military reservations in eastern New Mexico, near Roswell, and in areas surrounding the Tularosa Valley in south central New Mexico. Additionally, 30 dummies were dropped by aircraft over White Sands Proving Ground, N.M. in 1953. In 1959, 150 dummies were dropped by aircraft over Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio (possibly accounting for alleged alien ‘sightings’ at that location).
The Air Force expanded: “For the majority of the tests, dummies were flown to altitudes between 30,000 and 98,000 feet attached to a specially designed rack suspended below a high altitude balloon. On several flights the dummies were mounted in the door of an experimental high altitude balloon gondola. Upon reaching the desired altitude, the dummies were released and free-fell for several minutes before deployment of the main parachute. The dummies used for the balloon drops were outfitted with standard equipment of an Air Force aircrew member. This equipment consisted of a one-piece flight-suit, olive drab, gray (witnesses had described seeing aliens in gray one-piece suits) or fuchsia in color, boots, and a parachute pack. The dummies were also fitted with an instrumentation kit that contained accelerometers, pressure transducers, an ocscillograph, and a camera to record movements of the dummy during free-fall.”
Since the final portion of the document concludes the Air Force’s report on why its personnel were as sure as they could be that the strange bodies were really dummies, I’ll present it without interruption: “Recoveries of the test dummies were accomplished by personnel from the Holloman AFB Balloon Branch. 53 Typically, eight to twelve civilian and military recovery personnel arrived at the site of an anthropomorphic dummy landing as soon as possible following impact. The recovery crews operated a variety of aircraft and vehicles. These included a wrecker, a six-by-six, a weapons carrier, and L-20 observation and C-47 transport aircraft — the exact vehicles and aircraft described by the witnesses as having been present at the crashed saucer locations. On one occasion, just southwest of Roswell, a High Dive project officer, 1st Lt. Raymond A. Madson, even conducted a search for dummies on horseback.
“On a typical flight the dummies were separated from the balloon by radio command and descended by parachute. 57 Prompt recovery of the dummies and their suspension racks, which usually did not land in the same location resulting in extensive ground and air searches, was essential for researchers to evaluate information collected by the instrumentation and cameras. To assist the recovery personnel, a variety of methods were used to enhance the visibility of the dummies: smoke grenades, pigment powder, and brightly colored parachute canopies. Also, recovery notices promising a $25 reward were taped to an exposed portion of a dummy. 59 Local newspapers and radio stations were contacted when equipment was lost.
“Despite these efforts, the dummies were not always recovered immediately; one was not found for nearly three years and several were not recovered at all. When they were found, the dummies and instrumentation were often damaged from impact. Damage to the dummies included loss of heads, arms, legs and fingers. This detail, dummies with missing fingers, appears to satisfy another element of the research profile: aliens with only four fingers.
“What may have contributed to a misunderstanding if the dummies were viewed by persons unfamiliar with their intended use, were the methods used by Holloman AFB personnel to transport them. The dummies were sometimes transported to and from off-range locations in wooden shipping containers, similar to caskets, to prevent damage to fragile instruments mounted in and on the dummy. Also, canvas military stretchers and hospital gurneys were used (a procedure recommended by a dummy manufacturer) to move the dummies in the laboratory or retrieve dummies in the field after a test. The first 10 dummy drops also utilized black or silver insulation bags, similar to ‘body bags’ in which the dummies were placed for flight to guard against equipment failure at low ambient temperatures of the upper atmosphere. On one occasion northwest of Roswell, a local woman unfamiliar with the test activities arrived at a dummy landing site prior to the arrival of the recovery personnel. The woman saw what appeared to be a human embedded head first in a snowbank and became hysterical. The woman screamed, ‘He’s dead!, he’s dead!'”
The Air Force came right to the point, making an authoritative statement: “It now appeared that anthropomorphic dummies dropped by high altitude balloons satisfied the requirements of the research profile.” Of course, the UFO research community was not impressed and scoffed at the idea that those who claimed to have seen alien bodies had actually witnessed nothing stranger than a crash-test dummy. It’s eye-opening to note, though, that when the report was released in July 1997 (the 50th anniversary of the incident) even the mainstream media doubted the odd theory. Indeed, they noted that the bulk of the report was focused on the usage of dummies in the 1950s and certainly not in 1947. At the July 1947 press conference, a journalist asked the following question: “How do you square the UFO enthusiasts saying that they’re talking about 1947, and you’re talking about dummies used in the 50’s, almost a decade later?”
Air Force spokesman, Colonel John Haynes replied, slightly and noticeably awkwardly: “Well, I’m afraid that’s a problem that we have with time compression. I don’t know what they saw in ‘47, but I’m quite sure it probably was Project Mogul. But I think if you find that people talk about things over a period of time, they begin to lose exactly when the date was.” End of story.

SOHO/NASA sun cameras, EIT 284 A, June 8, 2019, 13:06
I was checking out the SOHO images and noticed this UFO shooting out of the sun. If it were material from the sun it would be spread out like a hand and shooting straight out, not shooting to the side at an angle. This has a metallic shiny appearance and is 5-6 times the size of Earth. I have long believed that the sun is hollow and holds its own mini solar system inside of it which harness the energy of the sun to power the alien worlds. This UFO...is proof the theory is correct.
Mitchell also alleged that UFOs had been seen above nuke bases and often disabled the missiles held within Cold War-era weapons silos.
The spaceman firmly believed the American government covered up the famous Roswell incident in 1947, when a flying disc allegedly crashed near a small town in New Mexico.
“The reason for the denial is they didn’t know if they [the aliens] were hostile and they didn’t want the Soviets to know so they devised to lie about it and cover it up,” he reportedly said.

Cooper was one of the seven astronauts who took part in Project Mercury, the first American manned mission which ran from 1958 until 1963.
The craft he piloted was dubbed "spam in a can" because it was automatically controlled, rather than piloted by the astronauts on board.
But even before he underwent the life changing experience of becoming the first man to sleep in space, he claimed to have seen UFOs flying over Germany in 1951.
The spaceman also said he saw flying saucers spying on a secret airbase where experimental American aircraft were being tested.
“I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which are a little more technically advanced than we are on Earth," he told the UN in 1984.
"We may first have to show them that we have learned how to resolve our problems by peaceful means rather than warfare, before we are accepted as fully qualified universal team members.
"Their acceptance will have tremendous possibilities of advancing our world in all areas."

Slayton was also part of Project Mercury, before enjoying an illustrious career which saw him serve as NASA's Director of Flight Crew Operations.
“I didn’t have any cameras otherwise I would have shot some pictures.
“At that time – for whatever reason – it just took off climbing and just accelerated and disappeared.”
4. Brian O'Leary
He never made it into space, but he was one of 11 astronauts named for a possible Nasa Mars mission in the 1960s.
Later in his life, O'Leary had a near-death experience which changed his perspective on life and reality.
Dr. O’Leary, who became respected physics professor at Princeton University after leaving Nasa, said: “There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted.
Civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time and that their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view."
Since 2006, NASA’s Mars Reconnoissance Orbiter (MRO) has been exploring Mars from orbit, capturing some of the most detailed — and interesting — images of the surface of the Red Planetwith its HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) camera.
But one recent MRO sighting had some sci-fi fans exclaiming “Beam me up, Scotty!”
“Enterprising viewers will make the discovery that these features look conspicuously like a famous logo,” the MRO HiRise team posted on Twitter.
The image was acquired on April 22, 2019.

Of course, the Starfleet logo taking shape on the Red Planet is just a coincidence.
The chevron-like shape, spotted in the southeast Hellas Planitia in the southern hemisphere of Mars, is actually the result of a complex story of dunes, lava, and wind, according to the HiRise team.
“Long ago, there were large crescent-shaped (barchan) dunes that moved across this area, and at some point, there was an eruption. The lava flowed out over the plain and around the dunes, but not over them. The lava solidified, but these dunes still stuck up like islands,” the team explained.

“However, they were still just dunes, and the wind continued to blow. Eventually, the sand piles that were the dunes migrated away, leaving these ‘footprints’ in the lava plain.”
The footprints are also called “dune casts” and record the presence of dunes that were surrounded by lava.
The videos were posted by Youtuber Adventures With Christian. Christian spends a lot of time curiously exploring the Nevada Test and Training Range(NTTR) and sometimes to an eyebrow-raising degree. This latest video series shows him and his son hiking to the summit of Tickaboo Peak—the closest existing viewpoint into Area 51—as a snow front moved in. It serves as a good reference as to how rough the trail is leading to the summit.
It also shows the weather station installed near Tickaboo's apex that almost certainly also serves as a remote surveillance node that allows the powers that be to be aware of anyone on the peak at any given time. It has long been theorized that the presence of observers on Tickaboo Peak curtails some clandestine flight test operations out of the base.
In the subsequent videos, Christian gets some great shots of the newer and quite massive hangar facility located on the south end of the base, as well as some sporadic activity happening around the installation. This includes the sudden appearance of one of the HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters that provides security and other functions for Area 51 and one of the Janet 737s taking off towards the south. Heat distortion is quite low, offering decently sharp views.
One thing I noticed was the tall hangar located across from the revamped A-12 hangars that had its roofpartially torn off two yearsago still appears to be damaged. In fact, it appears worse now. The rupture occurred between June and July of 2017, according to satellite imagery. One has to wonder what caused the damage and why it hasn't been fixed.
The video also shows some curious activity on the south end of the runway, but it isn't clear exactly what these vehicles are. The dark vehicle is interesting looking as it appears to have some sort of vertical appendage at its rear making it looks somewhat like an aircraft. Then again it could be something else entirely.
With the country entering into another period of 'great power competition' and expanded defense spending—especially on research and development programs—Area 51 is likely to become busier than it has been in decades. We can only speculate and wonder about all the intriguing flying machines that currently traverse its aprons and have done so secretly in the past.
If you can’t keep track of all the new action around the moon, you’re not alone. At least five countries have lunar exploration missions underway and more are in the works, some robotic and some with human crews. In coming years, more are likely, including commercial ventures focused on making money from the moon, perhaps by mining or tourism.
Right now many are heading for the same target, the moon's south pole, which is believed to have significant deposits of ice. That ice could be the key to helping humans learn to live and outside of Earth's atmosphere.

A new innovative airplane design known as the Flying-V embraces an entirely different approach to aircraft design. Named after the iconic Gibson Flying-V electric guitar, this plane is designed by researchers from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands. Dutch airline KLM is funding this revolutionary aeronautical project.
Professor Henri Werij, dean of the university’s faculty of aerospace engineering, said, “New and energy-efficient aircraft designs such as the Flying-V are important, as are new forms of propulsion. Our ultimate aim is emission-free flight.”
Here are some of its salient features:
Aerodynamic shape and reduced weight of this highly energy-efficient plane allow it to use 20% less fuel than the most efficient plane.
The wings of this pioneering aircraft would host the passenger space, cargo hold, fuel tanks and all other infrastructure.
Total width of ‘Flying-V’ is 215ft (65m) and its length will be slightly shorter, at 180 ft (55m).
Having the same wingspan as existing planes, it will be able to carry up to 314 passengers.
If all goes well, we won’t have to wait for long, as a prototype model is expected to take flight later this year.
“Numbers of reported UFO sightings remain high. Several theories for this can be suggested: more UFOs are present and physically observable by witnesses; more secret or overflights are occurring over populated areas; more people are unaware of the nature of conventional or natural objects in the sky; more people are taking time to observe their surroundings,” read the annual report.
It said 41 per cent of all Canadian sightings were in Quebec; there were 84 in Montreal alone in 2018. Ontario was a distant second with 24 per cent of sightings where there were 82 in Toronto. Vancouver had 52, but British Columbia was third on the list with just 13 per cent of sightings.
In Southwestern Ontario, the most sightings were in London. The city had 18 including a sighting on March 16 where a boomerang-like UFO with worm-like lines coming out of it was reported. In Mt. Brydges, two massive, luminous orbs were spotted. The most bizarre of sightings in the London area was in Ingersoll where a witness said he spotted an object with what appeared to be a door flying overhead.
There were seven in the Windsor area including a witness who reported being abducted several times by a so-called “Grey”. The report said the abductee produced physical evidence.
In Tilbury, a rectangle UFO was reported by a witness who said they were just 300 ft. away before it flew away on May 20. Also, witnesses in Sarnia said they spotted a light moving in the sky that did not look like an airplane on January 28.
Reports are classified under seven categories ranging from a light source in the night sky to a close encounter of the first kind which is within 200 m of a witness, and a close encounter of the fourth kind, an alleged abduction or contact.
The report points to polls that ten per cent of Canadians believe they have seen UFOs, about 3.7-million people.
“UFO witnesses range from farmhands to airline pilots to teachers and police officers,” said the report.

Thomas Jehl, qui dit ne pas être complice, aurait donc subi ce qu'on appelle un crop circle, pour cercle de culture. Les fanatiques d'histoires paranormales le perçoivent comme un signe venu d'ailleurs. Il n'en est rien, à en croire le youtuber AstronoGeek. Avec sa bande, il avait réalisé son propre crop circle en Moselle pour démonter cette prétendue origine extraterrestre.
"Il avait fallu qu'on trouve quelqu'un et qu'on lui dise :«écoute, on va écraser une partie de ton champ et on va te dédommager»", nous avait-il indiqué début juin, lorsque nous l'avions rencontré pour notre émission Pourquoi chercher plus loin ?. On a payé l'agriculteur et on lui a dit qu'on faisait ça chez lui, tel jour. C'était notre complice. Et on a gardé ça secret."
Thomas Jehl, lui, affirme ne pas connaître l'identité des personnesqui lui ont redessiné son champ. "Je ne sais même pas quand cela a été fait. Entre ce week-end et mercredi j'imagine", témoigne-t-il. Il indique ne pas savoir encore s'il portera plainte.

Immense graancirkel verschenen in Frankrijk. Bekijk deze indrukwekkende beelden
Een Franse boer heeft woensdag een immense graancirkel aangetroffen in zijn graanveld, meldt France 3 Regions.
“Ik werd gebeld door een collega,” zei Thomas Jehl uit Guemar in het departement Haut-Rhin. “Hij vertelde me dat er iets vreemds was te zien in het veld.”
“In eerste instantie kon ik niet zien wat het was,” vervolgde hij. Vanuit de lucht was het gigantische geometrische patroon wel goed zichtbaar.
Geometrische cirkels
De graanformatie bestaat uit een aantal geometrische cirkels.
De boer zei niet te weten wanneer de graancirkel precies is verschenen. “Dat moet ergens tussen afgelopen weekend en woensdag zijn gebeurd,” zei hij.
Hij zei nog niet te weten of hij aangifte gaat doen. Jehl baalt wel dat een deel van zijn oogst verloren is gegaan.
Niet gebroken
Volgens sommigen worden graancirkels gemaakt door buitenaardsen, schrijft L’Alsace.
De boer merkte op dat de graanstengels niet gebroken, maar gebogen zijn. Toch zei hij te denken dat het mensenwerk is.
“Maar ik heb niets gezien, dus ik kan het niet met zekerheid zeggen,” klonk het.

Tijdens luchtaanvallen op Syrië verscheen er een UFO-vloot. Straaljagerpiloot doet schokkende bewering
Er komt steeds meer informatie naar buiten over de vreemde objecten die door Amerikaanse legerpiloten worden gezien in de lucht.
Zo werd de eenheid van piloot Ryan Graves maandenlang gevolgd door een aantal mysterieuze objecten.
Opnieuw
De objecten verschenen opnieuw toen hij op weg was naar de Perzische Golf, schrijft website The Drive.
Zijn getuigenis zal te zien zijn in de nieuwe serie ‘Unidentified’ op History Channel.
Midden-Oosten
Er blijken sporadisch onregelmatigheden te worden waargenomen op de radar, die de piloten niet kunnen thuisbrengen.
Luitenant Graves claimt in de serie dat in het Midden-Oosten meerdere ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten verschenen boven de Perzische Golf, op het moment dat er vanaf het schip waarop hij was gestationeerd, de USS Theodore Roosevelt, luchtaanvallen werden uitgevoerd op Syrië.

Swarms of UFO's Seen During Soyuz Docking With the International Space Station
Swarms of UFO's Seen During Soyuz Docking With the International Space Station
The footage shows the moment the Soyuz arrives at the International Space Station when several unknown space objects come into view and passing the Soyuz and the ISS.
These objects are certainly not ice crystals nor artifacts created by the camera. The most remarkable object is a donut-shaped UFO that appears from the left. Then the object makes various maneuvers while passing the Soyuz.
Next a sphere comes from the right, continues its flight path and passes the Soyuz to disappear into space.
The Black Knight Satellite Origins Discovered... Can New Evidence Prove its Existence?
The Black Knight Satellite Origins Discovered... Can New Evidence Prove its Existence.
In this video we’ll look new evidence that could prove the existence of the infamous Black Knight Satellite UFO that has allegedly orbited the Earth for thousands of years?
The Black Knight satellite conspiracy theory claims that there is a spacecraft in near-polar orbit of the Earth that is of extraterrestrial origin, and that NASA is engaged in a cover-up regarding its existence and origin. This conspiracy theory combines several unrelated stories into one narrative.
WETENSCHAPInternationale archeologen hebben in de Mexicaanse ruïnestad Teotihuacán meer dan 2.400 fragmenten van menselijke beenderen ontdekt. Dat heeft het Mexicaanse Nationale Instituut voor Antropologie en Geschiedenis (INAH) bekendgemaakt. De vondsten zouden wijzen op eerste uitwisselingen tussen de Teotihuacán-cultuur in Centraal-Mexico en de zowat duizend kilometer zuidoostelijker bloeiende Maya-cultuur.
Tot dusver hadden wetenschappers de eerste contacten in het jaar 378 van onze tijdrekening gesitueerd. De nieuwe vondsten aan de Patio van zuilen in Teotihuacán zijn volgens het INAH echter ouder.
Naast de menselijke beenderen trof het team van onderzoekers ook keramiek aan met Maya-motieven. Dat zou volgens de wetenschappers van een groot banket kunnen komen. Ook werden resten van muurschilderingen in Maya-stijl aangetroffen. De vaststellingen wijzen erop dat de elite van de Maya’s aan belangrijke evenementen op die plaats deelnam.
Tandenschade Ten minste drie van de gevonden schedels zouden vervormingen en tandenschade vertonen die niet frequent voorkwamen in Teotihuacán, maar wel in het gebied van de Maya’s. Eerste contacten tussen beide culturen zouden al tussen de jaren 300 en 350 tot stand gekomen zijn, zegt antropologe Naya Sugiyama.
De ruïnestad Teotihuacán ligt op 50 kilometer ten noordoosten van Mexico-Stad. Op zijn hoogtepunt (de vijfde en zesde eeuw; nvdr) was Teotihuacán de belangrijkste metropool van Meso-Amerika en een van de grootste steden ter wereld. Wat tot de ondergang van de cultuur geleid heeft omstreeks het jaar 800 is tot dusver onduidelijk. De site werd in 1987 Unesco-Werelderfgoed en is een van de belangrijkste toeristische attracties van Mexico.
WETENSCHAP Diep onder de oppervlakte van de maan zit een enorme massa onbekend materiaal. Dat hebben onderzoekers van Baylor University ontdekt. De massa komt overeen met een gigantische hoeveelheid metaal, meer dan vijf keer zo groot als het eiland Corsica.
De onverwachte massa bevindt zich onder het Zuidpool-Aitken-bekken, een enorme inslagkrater op de maan van 13 km diep en ongeveer 2.000 km breed. De ovale krater - een van de grootste in het zonnestelsel - is niet zichtbaar vanop de aarde, omdat hij zich aan de achterkant van de maan bevindt.
De ontdekte massa is er een van minstens twee triljoen kilogram - 350 miljoen keer zwaarder dan de Piramide van Cheops - en zou tot meer dan 300 km diepte onder de oppervlakte van de maan begraven liggen. De massa werd ontdekt op basis van gegevens verzameld tijdens de Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory-missie van NASA in 2011. Die data werden gekoppeld aan de topografie van de maan zoals de Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter die in kaart bracht. Bleek dat de instrumenten onder het Zuidpool-Aitken-bekken iets erg abnormaals hadden opgepikt. Waarschijnlijk is de mysterieuze massa afkomstig van een inslag op de maan meer dan vier miljard jaar geleden, zo stelt het team van professor Peter B. James.
De maan zelf zou 4,5 miljard jaar geleden gevormd zijn na een botsing tussen de aarde en een planeet met de omvang van Mars. De meest plausibele verklaring is, volgens de wetenschappers, dat de maan zich kort na haar vorming stabiliseerde en dat daarna een grote asteroïde aan relatief lage snelheid is ingeslagen op de maan. Met vervolgens de kolossale metaalmassa als restant.
Maar professor James heeft nog een andere verklaring: de massa zou ook een concentratie van dichte oxiden kunnen zijn die kristalliseerden in de maankorst tijdens de latere stadia van het stollen van het magma van de maan. Verder onderzoek dringt zich dus nog op. De huidige studie werd gepubliceerd in Geophysical Research Letters.
WEERNIEUWSWie de gelegenheid had om afgelopen nacht een bijzonder natuurverschijnsel te aanschouwen, kwam niet bedrogen uit. De zogenoemde lichtende nachtwolken gaven een bijzonder fraai beeld. Zo waren de oplichtende wolken boven Vlaanderen en Nederland.
Lichtende nachtwolken zijn de hoogste wolken die we kennen. Ze komen voor op een hoogte van 85 kilometer. Ze kunnen zich vormen wanneer zeer kleine ijskristallen ontstaan op stofdeeltjes op grote hoogte. In tegenstelling tot wat de naam doet vermoeden, geven deze wolken zelf geen licht. Het licht is afkomstig van de zon en wordt door de ijskristallen weerkaatst naar het aardoppervlak.
Pas nadat de zon ondergegaan is, wordt deze bewolking zichtbaar als een zilverblauwe streperige structuur. Zolang de lichtende nachtwolken nog door de zon worden beschenen, zijn ze waar te nemen. Zodra de zon te ver onder de horizon is gezakt, verdwijnen de wolken weer. Het moet dus én donker zijn én de zon moet de wolken toch beschijnen- en dat zien we dus enkel als de nachten op hun kortst zijn.
Lichtende nachtwolken in ons land! Ofwel NLC's (noctilucent clouds). Deze wolken geven overigens geen licht, maar is weerkaatsing van zon op ijskristallen op 80 tot 85 km hoogte (waar de ijskristallen op stfdeeltjes ontstaan bij temperaturen tussen -90 en -145 graden!)

Wow wat een indrukwekkend natuurverschijnsel in de betuwe rond 0.30 uur vannacht, dit was absoluut de moeite waard om te bekijken #lichtendenachtwolken#TimeLapse@OmroepGLD@BuienRadarNL@Lingestreek
WETENSCHAPDe NASA-ruimtesonde Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter heeft een opvallende afdruk in de duinen van de rode planeet gespot. “Vermetele kijkers zullen tot de ontdekking komen dat deze trekken opvallend veel weg hebben van een beroemd logo”, tweette NASA, met woordspelingen op Star Trek-schepen.
De Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter en Marsrover Curiosity hebben al heel wat gekke figuren uit het landschap van de rode planeet gelicht: van Muppet Beaker over Jabba the Hutt tot Pac-Man. Ditmaal is het bekende logo van Starfleet, zeg maar de krijgsmacht van het Star Trek-universum, aan de beurt. Te zien in de zandduinen van Mars.
“Enterprising viewers will make the discovery that these features look conspicuously like a famous logo”, grapte het NASA-team. De oorspronkelijke Engelse tekst bevat in de vertaling verloren gegane verwijzingen naar sterrenschepen Enterprise en Discovery van Starfleet. Het bedoelde logo is dan ook inderdaad dat van Starfleet.
“Deze worden ook wel ‘duinafgietsels’ genoemd”, zegt planetair onderzoeker Ross Beyer over de bewuste zandformaties op Mars. “Ze tekenen de aanwezigheid van duinen op die omringd waren door lava.” Er zijn in dat hele landschap wel meer insigneachtige afdrukken te vinden. Beyer benadrukt dan ook dat de gelijkenis met het Star Trek-logo “puur toeval” is.
