Is er dan toch leven op de maan? Mogelijk hebben we daar zelf met mislukte maanlanding voor gezorgd - HLN.be
Is er dan toch leven op de maan? Mogelijk hebben we daar zelf met mislukte maanlanding voor gezorgd - HLN.be
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETHet is een vraag die heel wat wetenschappers bezighoudt. Is er nu wel of geen leven op de maan? Een recente mislukte maanlanding zou er wel eens voor gezorgd kunnen hebben dat we vanaf nu van levende organismen op de maan mogen spreken.
Eind februari lanceerde Israël de eerste private maanlander Beresheet, tot in april plots alle contact werd verbroken. De maanlander zou nu toch voor een primeur hebben gezorgd. En wat voor één. De Beresheet had namelijk zogenaamde beerdiertjes mee, minuscule meercellige organismen die erom bekend staan te overleven bij extreme omstandigheden.
Volgens de Arch Mission Foundation, de organisatie achter de mislukte maanlanding, zouden deze ‘sterkste dieren op aarde’ wel eens “de enige overlevenden” kunnen zijn van de missie.
Op aarde leven beerdiertjes op hoge bergtoppen, in verzengende woestijnen en in het ijs op Antarctica. Dr. Karl Shuker schreef in zijn boek The Hidden Powers of Animals dat de diertjes zelfs overleven in vloeibaar helium en wanneer ze worden gekookt aan 149 graden Celsius.
De verborgen kracht van het beestje zit hem in de mogelijkheid om zichzelf als het ware te verschrompelen tot een ‘zaadachtige’, waarbij al het water afgestoten wordt en het metabolisme tot stilstand komt. Het is in deze toestand dat het diertje dergelijke extreme omstandigheden kan overleven.
Reëel
In 2007 ontdekten wetenschappers dat deze diertjes ook wel eens de zware condities van ruimtereizen zouden kunnen overleven. En dat zou bij deze dus gebeurd zijn.
Volgens Lukasz Kaczmarek, een astrobioloog aan de Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, is de kans reëel dat de diertjes de crash hebben overleefd. “Beerdiertjes kunnen een druk die ontstaat wanneer asteroïden crashen op aarde overleven, dus een dergelijke kleine crash betekent niets voor hen.” Hij voegde eraan toe dat de diertjes het waarschijnlijk nog enkele jaren kunnen uithouden.
Geen kolonisatie
Een kolonisatie van de maan is echter onbestaande. “Ze kunnen de maan niet koloniseren, omdat er geen atmosfeer en vloeibaar water voorhanden is,” aldus Kaczmarek. “Maar het zou mogelijk zijn om ze terug naar de aarde te brengen en opnieuw tot leven te wekken.” Gedehydrateerde beerdiertjes zijn namelijk in het verleden al opnieuw tot leven gewekt door hen in water te stoppen, waarna ze hun leven van voordien gewoon verderzetten.
Philippe Reekie, een collega-astrobioloog aan de Universiteit van Edinburgh, bevestigt de stelling van Kaczmarek. Maar, zo voegt hij er aan toe, als de beerdiertjes zich in hun normale toestand bevonden, is de kans groot dat ze de impact toch niet hebben overleefd. “In hun normale staat kun je de beestjes namelijk makkelijk doden.”

Facebook verwijdert evenementen die oproepen tot bestormen Area 51. Wat mogen we niet weten?
Facebook verwijdert evenementen die oproepen tot bestormen Area 51. Wat mogen we niet weten?
Een Facebookevenement dat opriep tot het bestormen van Area 51 werd binnen korte tijd een internetsensatie.
Meer dan twee miljoen gebruikers meldden zich aan, Jimmy Kimmel en Stephen Colbert besteedden er aandacht aan en de Amerikaanse luchtmacht riep mensen op om niet te komen.
Facebook heeft de pagina nu opeens verwijderd, schrijft CNET.
Zonder reden
Organisator Matthew Roberts liet via zijn persoonlijke Facebookpagina weten dat de social mediareus het evenement had verwijderd omdat het ‘in strijd is met de gemeenschapsnormen’.
“Ze hebben me nooit een reden gegeven,” zei hij tegen CNET.
“Ik heb een nieuwe pagina aangemaakt, waar 15.000 mensen zich hebben aangemeld, die inmiddels ook zonder reden is verwijderd,” vervolgde hij.
Festival
Roberts wil nu een festival gaan organiseren in Rachel in Nevada met Area 51 als thema. Hij maakte hier een evenement voor aan op Facebook, maar al snel werd ook die pagina verwijderd.
Area 51 is een geheime legerbasis op zo’n 250 kilometer van Las Vegas in Nevada. Niemand weet precies waar de basis voor wordt gebruikt.
Aliens
Volgens complottheorieën worden er buitenaardse ruimteschepen of aliens bewaard op de basis.
De locatie kreeg zijn naam in 1951, toen wrakstukken van de Roswell-UFO zouden zijn overgebracht naar de legerbasis.
In 2013 werd het bestaan van Area 51 voor het eerst officieel erkend.
Divers Uncover Ancient Temple Submerged Within The 'Egyptian Atlantis'
DAVID NIELD
The ancient Egyptian city of Heracleionwas once a bustling trading port. Now, it lies 45 metres (about 148 feet) under the Mediterranean Sea. Recently, divers have revealed perhaps the best find since the submerged city was rediscovered two decades ago.
In their most recent underwater expedition, Egyptian and European experts have found significant remains of a large temple under the sea, as well as several ships laden with treasure such as coins and jewellery.
Archaeologists led by Franck Goddio, who was also in charge of the very first underwater exploration of Heracleion, think they have found the stone columns from the city's main temple (called Amun Garp), as well as the remains of a smaller Greek temple.
The remarkable treasures show how the enchanting site is still revealing its secrets many years after it was first explored, as thousands of years of sediment and mud get sifted through.
Such discoveries have been made possible thanks to a range of sophisticated scanning tools that can discern objects on the seabed floor and even beneath it, despite the obfuscating sediment.
Joining together geophysical data from satellite positioning, echo sounders, nuclear magnetic resonance magnetometers and side-scan sonar, researchers have acquired such comprehensive scans, that the team discovered a group of ports close by Heracleion that weren't previously known about.
Armed with this information, archaeological divers then plunged down to the remains for a closer look. As for the other finds besides the temples, the divers report coming across bronze coins from the reign of King Ptolemy II(283 to 246 BCE), plus pottery, jewellery, and storage utensils found in the remains of several ships.
The archaeologists also dug up coins from the Byzantine era, which means it's likely that the city was inhabited from at least the fourth century BCE. Another finding was the missing part of a ceremonial boat that had been found on a previous excavation.
Further discoveries were made at Canopus, another nearby submerged city. These included coins from the Ptolemaic and Byzantine eras, plus rings and earrings from Ptolemaic times.
Recovered coins and jewellery.

Heracleion (also known as Thonis) is thought to have been built during the 8th century BCE on the banks of the Nile river, and is so named because the hero Hercules himself once visited it – or so the legend goes. It's now known informally as Egypt's Atlantis.
"The objects recovered from the excavations illustrate the cities' beauty and glory, the magnificence of their grand temples and the abundance of historic evidence," states a project description on Goddio's website.
"Colossal statues, inscriptions and architectural elements, jewellery and coins, ritual objects and ceramics – a civilisation frozen in time."
Exactly how it ended up underwater remains a mystery to historians, but the best guess is that rising sea levels, seismic activity, and crumbling foundations caused the entire city to slide into the Mediterranean, at least 1,000 years ago.
Now the team of deep sea archaeologists is preparing their findings for publication in a scientific journal. It's going to be fascinating to find out what Heracleion turns up next; Goddio estimates that only about 5 percent of the city has so far been revealed.
Archeologen hebben in de onderwaterruïnes van de Egyptische stad Heracleion meerdere ontdekkingen gedaan.
De ruïnes van wat ook wel het Egyptische Atlantis wordt genoemd, bevinden zich op zo’n 2,5 kilometer voor de kust op een diepte van ruim 10 meter in de Abu Qir-baai.
Tijdens een recente expeditie stuitten Egyptische en Europese duikers op een mysterieuze onderwatertempel en diverse scheepswrakken vol schatten.
Byzantijnse periode
De ontdekkingen konden worden gedaan met behulp van sonar, satellietgegevens, magnetometers en dieptemeters.
Duikers die de ruïnes verkenden, ontdekten ook munten, sieraden en aardewerk.
Sommige munten dateren van de Byzantijnse periode, wat betekent dat de stad tot tenminste de vierde eeuw voor Christus werd bewoond.
Kolossale standbeelden
Heracleion is naar verluidt in de achtste eeuw voor Christus gesticht langs de oever van de Nijl.
Het is nog altijd een mysterie waarom de stad, waar ook kolossale standbeelden zijn gevonden, ten onder is gegaan.
Vijf procent
De bevindingen worden binnenkort gepubliceerd in een wetenschappelijk tijdschrift.
Naar schatting is pas zo’n vijf procent van de stad blootgelegd. Wie weet wat voor geheimen Heracleion nog zal prijsgeven.
Spectaculair: kijk hoe een enorme ‘spookstad’ verschijnt op een meer in China
Spectaculair: kijk hoe een enorme ‘spookstad’ verschijnt op een meer in China
Beelden van een enorme ‘spookstad’ op een meer in China maken veel los. Het opmerkelijke verschijnsel deed zich zondag voor op het Hongzemeer in de stad Huai’an.
In een filmpje, dat al snel viral ging op Chinese social media, kunnen aan de horizon ‘oude gebouwen, torens, stadsmuren en huizen’ worden gezien.
Fata morgana
De luchtspiegeling was maar liefst 40 minuten lang te zien. Veel lokale bewoners keken verbaasd toe.
Dit fenomeen wordt ook wel een fata morgana genoemd. Het is een verschijnsel waarbij er grote temperatuurverschillen bestaan tussen verschillende luchtlagen.
Het scheidingsvlak tussen luchtlagen met verschillende temperaturen kan zich onder specifieke omstandigheden als spiegel gaan gedragen.
Niet bekend
Ook kan de luchtlaag met de laagste temperatuur zich zo als lens gaan gedragen.
Het is nog niet bekend van welke stad de ‘spookstad’ op het Hongzemeer een reflectie is geweest.
Residents in the Chinese city of Huai'an were stunned yesterday after a giant mirage of a 'ghost city' emerged over the horizon.
The rition appeared in the afternoon over the Hongze Lake in the province of Jiangsu in eastern China, according to local media.
Ancient Chinese buildings with curved roofs, trees and a giant wind turbine were among the eerie images rising up through the mist that had descended over the lake. There is usually nothing but sky across the horizon.appa
Residents of the Chinese city of Huai'an were yesterday stunned to see the ghostly apparition of an ancient city over a freshwater lake. The unusual sight appeared on a humid afternoon
Amazed residents rushed to see the unusual spectacle, which lasted about half an hour on the south-western part of the lake, reported Jiangsu News Broadcast.
Occupying 2,069 square kilometres (798 square miles), Hongze is the fourth largest freshwater lake in China.
One of the eyewitnesses, a photographer named Chen Kai, told newspaper Modern Express that he spotted the sight after a rainfall.
Mr Chen said he saw a cluster of ancient Chinese buildings which stood about a dozen stories, including octagonal gate towers, city wall and residential buildings.
The mirage was spotted by a photographer named Chen Kai who was taking pictures by the lake yesterday afternoon. It was believed to be one of the clearest mirage recorded in the area
It is believed that the sight was a mirage - a form of illusion that is common in humid weather.
The phenomenon is caused when moisture in the air becomes warmer than the temperature of water below.
As the rays of sunlight cross from the colder air into the warmer air it is 'bent' or refracted - creating a reflection in the air.
The patterns in the mirage are typically blurred and shimmering with a resemblance to human structures. They are similar to a reflection seen in water.

The director of the Hongze Lake Museum, Mr Pei, told reporters mirages had appeared in the region in the 1950s and 1960s, according to the city's archives.
The mirage yesterday was believed to be one of the clearest ever recorded in the area.
Footage of the 'ghost city' has caused a sensation on the Chinese social media, with web users flocking to identify the structures in the optical illusion.
Mr Chen said he was yet to find out the original site of the reflection captured on his footage.
Mass UFO sightings reported over Cincinnati as mystery lights filmed vanishing from sight
Mass UFO sightings reported over Cincinnati as mystery lights filmed vanishing from sight
SOCIAL media has been flooded with reports of UFOs appearing over Cincinnati, as baffling footage appears to show lights vanishing and reappearing.
Shocked witnesses Laina and Angie captured the bizarre sighting in the skies above the city in Ohio, US, on August 3
The clip begins with for bright objects moving in a line across the grey clouds.
But, one-by-one, they start to vanish from sight.
"They're gone, I just don't know," one of the camerawomen says as the objects then re-appear.
A fifth light then emerges on the left-hand side of the screen.
YouTube conspiracist MrMBB333 who uploaded the clip and said: “They didn’t go behind the clouds, they were in front of the clouds.
“Something comes in from the left, they appear to be in a straight row and at a slight angle.”
When the conspiracist switches the light formats, he claims the footage shows the planes turning “invisible”.
BIZARRE: The bizarre sightings were captured over multiple states in the US (Pic: YOUTUBE / MRMBB333 / THIRDPHASEOFMOON / ALBERT513TV )
“It was still daylight, so if they were some sort of physical craft, which I’m sure they probably were, how come you couldn’t see them?” he asks.
Another eyewitness captured the moment from a different location in Cincinnati and submitted it to YouTube star Blake Cousins, of thirdphaseofmoon.
The clip captured the lights changing from a triangular shape into a straight line before moving back.
Three of the four lights disappear for a few moments before gradually reappearing.
SIGHTINGS: The bizarre lights were spotted some 600 miles away (Pic: YOUTUBE / THIRDPHASEOFMOON)
Other videos have surfaced on Twitter since the sighting on Saturday and dozens of people have claimed they saw the lights as well.
One YouTuber uploaded a clip of the lights moving throughout the sky.
The cameraman shouts: “We’ve got aliens in Cincinnati.”
A viewer commented: "I saw the same lights!"

Area 51: 'UFOs' seen giving off bright lights from plane window
Another person said: "I saw that UFO move up in the air into some clouds and then down and side to side."
Over the last month, multiple sightings of a “snake-like” UFO have hit the headlines.
A conspiracy theorist told Daily Star Online that the series of snake-shaped UFOs spotted across the US could be military craft linked to the Space Force.
The first sighting of the mysterious object happened last month when YouTuber Cody Kennedy was stunned to discover a flashing light hovering above the Mojave Desert in California.
The remains of a microscopic drop of ancient seawater was used to re-establish the date that plate tectonics started on Earth.

Plate tectonics is Earth’s vital – and unique – continuous recycling process that directly or indirectly controls almost every function of the planet, including atmospheric conditions, mountain building (forming of continents), natural hazards such as volcanoes and earthquakes, formation of mineral deposits and the maintenance of our oceans. It is the process where the large continental plates of the planet continuously move, and the top layers of the Earth (crust) are recycled into the mantle and replaced by new layers through processes such as volcanic activity.
Where it was previously thought that plate tectonics started about 2.7 billion years ago, a team of international scientists used the microscopic leftovers of a drop of water that was transported into the Earth’s deep mantle – through plate tectonics – to show that this process started 600 million years before that. An article on their research that proves plate tectonics started on Earth 3.3 billion years ago was published in the high impact academic journal, Nature, on 16 July.

“Plate tectonics constantly recycles the planet’s matter, and without it the planet would look like Mars,” says Professor Allan Wilson from the Wits School of Geosciences, who was part of the research team.
“Our research showing that plate tectonics started 3.3 billion years ago now coincides with the period that life started on Earth. It tells us where the planet came from and how it evolved.”
Earth is the only planet in our solar system that is shaped by plate tectonics and without it the planet would be uninhabitable.
For their research, the team analysed a piece of rock melt, called komatiite – named after the type occurrence in the Komati river near Barberton in Mpumalanga – that are the leftovers from the hottest magma ever produced in the first quarter of Earth’s existence (the Archaean). While most of the komatiites were obscured by later alteration and exposure to the atmosphere, small droplets of the molten rock were preserved in a mineral called olivine. This allowed the team to study a perfectly preserved piece of ancient lava.
“We examined a piece of melt that was 10 microns (0.01mm) in diameter, and analysed its chemical indicators such as H2O content, chlorine and deuterium/hydrogen ratio, and found that Earth’s recycling process started about 600 million years earlier than originally thought,” says Wilson. “We found that seawater was transported deep into the mantle and then re-emerged through volcanic plumes from the core-mantle boundary.”
The research allows insight into the first stages of plate tectonics and the start of stable continental crust.
“What is exciting is that this discovery comes at the 50th anniversary of the discovery of komatiites in the Barberton Mountain Land by Wits Professors, the brothers Morris and Richard Viljoen,” says Wilson.

Linda Moulton Howe: MO41, the Incredible UFO Case Before Roswell
Linda Moulton Howe: MO41, the Incredible UFO Case Before Roswell
COAST TO COAST AM.Earthfiles investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe presented a report on the new book, “MO41, The Bombshell Before Roswell,” interviewing its author Paul Blake Smith, a longtime Missouri resident who decided to dig deeply into the 1941 crash of a UFO near Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
The incident began on the night of April 12, 1941, when local resident, Pastor William G. Huffman, was called by police authorities to travel immediately to a crash site to give ministerial rites to three passengers, two dead and one still alive, Smith recounted.
According to Huffman, when he was escorted to the site, he saw a crashed metal spaceship, and nearby were three identical Grey aliens, “almost as if they were released from a cookie cutter.” The recovered aliens were “incinerated from within” as though they could not breathe our atmosphere, Rev. Huffman recalled.
Are you ready for human-monkey hybrids? How about human-rat or human-mouse combinations? Can you accept the justification being given by scientists and government officials giving their approval that it’s for a ‘noble cause’ – creating much-needed human transplant organs – and that no actual hybrid creature will be brought to full development? That they will be interrupted or destroyed or ‘terminated’ before they reach that point? Well, get ready for some hybrids because the news out of China and Japan recently says they‘re either approved, just around the corner or already here. Can there be any scarier development in the world today?
Let’s start with the human-monkey hybrid. Announced by the Spanish news source El Pais, a team led by Juan Carlos Izpisúa genetically modified monkey embryos to deactivate the genes that create organs, then injected them with human stem cells that generated human organs instead. If his name sounds familiar, it could be because in 2017 Juan Carlos Izpisúa announced that he had created human-pig hybrids. Izpisúa works for the Salk Institute of the U.S. in conjunction with (ironically) the Catholic University of Murcia (UCAM) in Spain. The research is done in China where regulations against such experiments are lax at best. They also prefer to call the human-monkey combinations ‘chimeras’ because they’re not half-human and half monkey but merely monkeys developing human organs. Less creepy but still unethical enough that they destroy the embryos after 14 weeks to avoid more controversy. While his human-pig chimeras were ultimately unsuccessful, Izpisúa is confident it will eventually work and be accepted by the general public.
“History shows us again and again that, over time, our ethical and moral scales change and mutate, like our DNA, and what yesterday was ethically unacceptable, if that really means a breakthrough for the progress of humanity, today it is now an essential part of our lives.”
Is this the future?
This takes us to Japan, where that country’s education and science ministry issued new guidelines saying human-animal hybrids or chimeras can now be gestated to term and recently gave approval to renowned geneticist Hiromitsu Nakauchi at the University of Tokyo to create the first ones using rats and mice. In The Asahi Shimbun, Nakauchi described his plans to genetically modify fertilized eggs of rats and mice to deactivate the genes for making a pancreas, then inject them with humaniPS (induced stem) cells in the eggs, place them in rats and mice and allow them to be born, where their development will be monitored. As a precautionary measure, they will examine the brains of the rodent embryos after they reach a certain stage of development and end the experiment if the number of human cells in occupies more than 30 percent of the rat’s brain. That would signal that the human cells are taking over – a situation that is considered unethical … but still legal.
“We don’t expect to create human organs immediately, but this allows us to advance our research based upon the know-how we have gained up to this point.”
While the researchers say they plan to create human livers and kidneys as well as pancreas, Nakauchi tries to assail fears by saying the chances for living hybrids are nill.
“At that level, an animal with a human face will never be born.”
However, monkeys with human organs are already being recreated in China, where Nakauchi’s Japanese restrictions, minimal as they might be, are non-existent. You don’t have to have seen “Island of Lost Souls” (the 1932 pre-censorship horror film adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novel “Island of Dr. Moreau”) to come to the conclusions of Jiro Nudeshima, a life science specialist who co-heads a civic group focusing on the ethical concerns raised by life science research. He tells Asahi Shimbun:
“It is problematic, both ethically and from a safety aspect, to place human iPS cells, which are still capable of transforming into all types of cells, into the fertilized eggs of rats and mice. There is also a risk that a certain body part unexpectedly becomes chimera, a condition in which heterologous cells exist in one body, by mixing human cells into the brains or reproductive cells of rats and mice.”

Dr. Moreau had no restrictions and an isolated island filled with apes and big cats to experiment with. Could it happen in real life?
Not 1 but 3 cigar-shaped UFOs appear above Mougins, France
Not 1 but 3 cigar-shaped UFOs appear above Mougins, France
On July 31, 2019 the photographer spotted two cigar-shaped UFOs in the sky above Mougins in France.
UFO 1 - Mougins, France
UFO 2 - Mougins, France
Both UFOs move at high speed, with the first UFO flying through a cloud and the second UFO coming into view above the cloud.
Besides, there is a strange triangle structure is visible in the cloud.
Coincidence or not but nine days earlier, on July 22, 2019 a similar cigar-shaped UFO has been filmed while flying over the same location in Mougins, France.

Date of sighting: Aug 4, 2019 Location of sighting: Huntington Beach, California, USA Source: MUFON #102536 Witnesses caught a fleet of bright objects over Huntington Beach two days ago. The objects were glowing orbs, but there was a single orb that seems to have been metallic and not glowing. The eyewitness said they noticed the objects as they began to rise higher and higher into the atmosphere and out of sight. Its very possible that these UFOs were exploring under the ocean off California and then decided to end their mission and return to its own planet or space station. There is a well known alien base off Malibu, California, these UFOs may have come from there. Scott C. Waring

A hunter caught a glowing orb on his animal camera two weeks ago. The orb is actually watching and following a deer! The deer is caught in only the last photo, but its obvious that the alien probe is following it. Also I notice the date on the camera seems to be different than the date on his MUFON report. I think he may have never set the date on the camera correctly. I've been guilty of such things myself many times. Don't like wasting time trying to figure some of those things out. He says the photos were taken July 17 last month. This camera is using infrared which sees well at night and also will see any cloaked object. Awesome catch, and proof that aliens are interested in literally every form of life on Earth.

US Congressman Warns UFOs Could Pose a Serious Threat on National Security
US Congressman Warns UFOs Could Pose a Serious Threat on National Security
A US Congressman warns that UFOs could pose a severe security risk in a letter written to the Navy. North Carolina Republican Representative Mark Walker also asked if investigators had recovered physical evidence of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
These pictures show ‘tic-tac’ UFOs caught on camera by US Navy pilots
After hearing dozens of reports of strange encounters between highly advanced UFOs and naval aviators, the former pastor wrote to US Navy Secretary Richard Spencer.
In the past two years, information of unexplained sightings has been leaking out after details of Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which was a secret government programme, leaked into the public domain.
This is the letter Mark Walker wrote to Richard Spencer, Secretary of the US Navy
A declassified document which gives details of some of the research papers produced by AATIP investigators
This project was involved in investigating and exploring UFO encounters and exotic technologies such as antigravity, wormholes, cloaking, high energy laser weapons, and warp drives.
In his letter, Walker wrote: ‘Based on pilot accounts, encounters with UAPs often involved complex flight patterns and advanced manoeuvring, which demand extreme advances in quantum mechanics, nuclear science, electromagnetics and thermodynamics.
‘If the accounts are true, the unidentified crafts could pose a serious security risk to our military personnel and defence apparatus.
‘They could also represent a tremendous opportunity for advancements in science and technology that can contribute to the public good.
’ The letter also noted ‘reports of significant investments in advanced aerospace technologies’ by China and asked: ‘Does the department have any information regarding private companies or foreign nations who have made significant advancements in aerophysics?
In his letter, Walker believes too that details on encounters with UAPs are vital to the national security and scientific research as well as to public interest.
A number of US Navy pilots have reported encounters with mysterious UFOs which had no visible engine and produced no exhaust plumes but were capable of travelling at hypersonic speeds and soaring to incredible heights.
Nick Pope
We asked Nick Pope, former UFO investigator at the British Ministry of Defence, for his theories about the origins of these craft.
He said: ‘Even if the US government doesn’t have all the answers, somewhere in the system there will be a “best assessment” of the situation.
‘Even if much of it is classified and can’t be released, the assessment probably gives an indication of the official view on these encounters.
‘There are probably only four viable theories.
‘Firstly, the sightings and the videos we’ve all seen of US Navy jets chasing UFOs are attributable to some combination of pilot misperceptions, radar glitches and FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) system anomalies.
‘Secondly, we’re dealing with US black project technology. We hear a lot, for example, about drone swarms and hypersonic missiles. Is it possible that such technology is being ‘blind tested’ against the US Navy?
‘Thirdly, we’re dealing with foreign military aircraft, missiles or drones. Realistically, only Russia or China are likely to possess such technology and risk using it in this way.
‘The fourth and final option is that this is extraterrestrial. It would be interesting to know if this theory has been considered and forms part of any official assessment. Conversely, if it can’t be confirmed, has it at least been eliminated?
‘When I was working on this issue at the Ministry of Defence, we gave the extraterrestrial hypothesis serious consideration and while we didn’t have proof this was what we were dealing with, we didn’t rule it out – as some of the recently-declassified MoD UFO files show.
‘In relation to my list of options, if the first or second ones are the answer, this would be troubling on many levels, but if the third or fourth options turn out to be the solution, the defence and national security implications are staggering and frightening.
‘The fourth, of course, would take us into new and game-changing territory.’
Nick Pope greets fans and supporters at an AlienCon event
Nick Pope, a former investigator at the British Ministry of Defence, said the letter from Congressman Mark Walker is a sign of the growing political pressure for answers about UFOs and is consistent to the reports that many US Senators have received a classified briefing from Pentagon on the situation. Nick Pope also believes that Walker’s letter comes on the heels of the revelation from President Donald Trump that he had a meeting on the issue.
Pope said the newly-released letter from Congressman Mark Walker is a ‘hugely significant development and a sign of the growing political pressure for answers about UFOs’ which ‘comes on the heels of the revelation that a number of US Senators have received a classified Pentagon briefing on the situation, and the statement from President Trump that he had a meeting on the issue’.
He continued: ‘It’s a welcome sign that the taboo about discussing UFOs is less of a problem than it used to be. It wasn’t very long ago that politicians avoided the subject altogether, because of the perceived stigma and the fear of ridicule. It’s yet more proof that the subject has come out of the fringe and into the mainstream.
‘Mark Walker mentioned the US Navy’s recently-issued guidance to its pilots, telling them what to do if they encounter what the Navy refers to as “unidentified aerial phenomena” – UAP is the recognized government, military and intelligence community term for what the media and the public call UFOs. The Navy has refused to make this guidance public because it contains classified information, and while I understand this, I hope the Congressman will be able to press for the release of a redacted version, that might give people at least an indication of what we’re dealing with here.
‘I hope Congressman Walker will publish the reply he receives, will stay involved, and will encourage other members of Congress to get involved. And I hope he’ll write to the Secretary of the US Air Force too – it’s inconceivable that the USAF wouldn’t have something to add to all this. It would also be helpful to get some clarity over who’s leading on this topic in Congress: the Armed Services Committee, the Homeland Security Committee or the Intelligence Committee.
‘I hope that Congressman Walker will stay alongside this issue and I’d be happy to use my own official knowledge and experience of handling this issue to work with him – and anyone else in Congress – to try to get some clarity here. I know from my own experience in the MoD that information about military capabilities, intelligence assessments of other nations’ technology, and methods and sources of gathering intelligence must remain classified.
‘But it might be possible to find a way of producing an unclassified summary that would at least indicate whether the current best assessment is misidentification, US black project technology, foreign military activity, or extraterrestrial visitation.
‘Given that other Senators have already received classified briefings on the situation from US Navy officials, one obvious strategy would be for Congressman Walker to request the same briefing, after which he could give people an unclassified summary of what was discussed.’
That's the argument advanced by a pair of Japanese astrophysicists, who wrote a paper proposing a new search for millions of "isolated black holes" (IBHs) that likely populate our galaxy. These black holes, lost in the darkness, sip matter from the interstellar medium — the dust and other stuff floating between stars. But that process is inefficient, and a great deal of the matter gets expelled into space at high speeds. As that outflow interacts with the surrounding environment, the researchers wrote, it should produce radio waves that human radio telescopes can detect. And if astronomers can sift out those waves from all the noise that's in the rest of the galaxy, they might be able to spot these unseen black holes.
"A naive way to observe IBHs is through their X-ray emission," the researchers wrote in their paper, which has not yet been formally peer reviewed and which they made available July 1 as a preprint on arXiv.
Why is that? As black holes suck the matter from space, that matter at its fringes accelerates and forms what’s known as an accretion disk. The matter in that disk rubs against itself as it spins toward the event horizon— a black hole's point of no return — spitting out X-rays in the process. But isolated black holes, which are small compared to supermassive black holes, don't emit a great deal of X-rays this way. There simply isn't enough matter or energy in their accretion disks to create large X-ray signatures. And past searches for IBHs using X-rays have failed to produce conclusive results.
"These outflows can possibly make the IBHs detectable in other wavelengths," the researchers, Daichi Tsuna of the University of Tokyo and Norita Kawanaka of Kyoto University, wrote in their paper. "The outflows can interact with the surrounding matter and create strong collisionless shocks at the interface. These shocks can amplify magnetic fields and accelerate electrons, and these electrons emit synchrotron radiation in the radio wavelength."
In other words, the outflow sliding through the interstellar medium should get electrons moving at speeds that produce radio waves.
"Interesting paper," said Simon Portegies Zwart, an astrophysicist at Leiden University in the Netherlands, who was not involved in Tsuna and Kawanaka's research. Portegies Zwart has also studied the question of IBHs, also known as intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs).
"It would be a great way to find IMBHs," Portegies Zwart told Live Science. "I think that with LOFAR [the Low-Frequency Array in the Netherlands], such research should already be possible, but the sensitivity may pose a problem."
IBHs, Portegies Zwart explained, are thought of as a "missing link" between the two types of black holes astronomers can detect: stellar-mass black holes that can be two to possibly 100 times the size of our sun, and supermassive black holes, the gargantuan beasts that live at the cores of galaxies and are hundreds of thousands of times the size of our sun.
Stellar-mass black holes are occasionally detectable in binary systems with regular stars, because the binary systems can produce gravitational waves and companion stars can provide fuel for large X-ray bursts. And supermassive black holes have accretion disks that emit so much energy that astronomers can detect and even photograph them.
But IBHs, in the midrange between those two other types, are far more difficult to detect. There are a handful of objects in space that astronomers suspect might be IBHs, but those results are uncertain. But past research, including a 2017 paper in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, which Portegies Zwart co-authored, suggests millions of them could be hiding out there.
Tsuna and Kawanaka wrote that the best prospect for a radio survey of IBHs probably involves using the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a multi-part radio telescope due to be built with sections in South Africa and Australia. It's slated to have a total radio-wave collecting area of 1 square kilometer (0.39 square miles). The researchers estimate that at least 30 IBHs emit radio waves that the SKA will be able to detect during its first, proof-of-concept phase, which is scheduled for 2020. Down the road, they wrote, the complete SKA (scheduled for the mid-2020s) should be able to detect up to 700.
Not only should SKA be able to spot radio waves from these IBHs, they wrote, it should also be able to precisely estimate the distance to many of them. When that time comes, finally, all these missing black holes should start to come out of hiding.
Ground zero for the impact that caused a Marsmega-tsunami more than 3 billion years ago may have been found.
The meteor that spawned that ancient flood probably blasted out Lomonosov Crater, a 75-mile-wide (120 kilometers) hole in the ground in the icy plains of the Martian Arctic, a new study reports.
Lomonosov's large size suggests that the impactor itself was big — similar in scale to the 6-mile-wide (10 km) asteroid that hit Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula 66 million years ago, sparking a mass extinction that killed off 75% of Earth's species, including the dinosaurs.
Such big space rocks don't hit the Red Planet (or Earth) very often. So, the new study provides some important clues about Mars' ancient northern ocean, and the planet's past potential to host life as we know it, team members said.
"The implication is that the ocean would have retained a liquid component for a very long time," study co-author Alexis Rodriguez, a senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, told Space.com. He offered 4 million to 5 million years as a representative figure, but stressed that the number is just an estimate.
A cold and mysterious ocean
Mars' big, salty northern ocean likely formed about 3.4 billion years ago. The ocean's existence is widely accepted by Mars researchers, Rodriguez said, but there is considerable debate about its nature.
For example, some scientists believe the ocean was relatively long-lived, if quite cold. But others don't think the ancient Martian climate could have supported stable bodies of surface water for long, and therefore argue that the ocean froze over very quickly — perhaps in a few thousand years or less.
Thenew study, which was published in late June in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, bolsters the former viewpoint.
Rodriguez and his colleagues, led by François Costard of the French National Center for Scientific Research, built upon several years of previous research into the ocean and its imprints on the landscape of ancient Mars.
For example, Rodriguez led a 2016 study that identified huge lobes in the northern plains — features that strongly resemble marks left by tsunamis here on Earth. The team determined that the lobes were carved out by two different mega-tsunamis, which flooded the region more than 3 billion years ago.
Mars does not have significant plate-tectonic activity, so the big waves were probably unleashed by impacts. So, Costard, Rodriguez and their colleagues hunted for craters left behind by the cosmic culprits, narrowing the search over the next few years.
That search may now be over, at least for one of the two impactors. Multiple lines of evidence point to Lomonosov, the scientists report in the new study. For example, Lomonosov is in the right place, it's the right age (as determined by crater counts), and it looks a lot like marine craters here on Earth.
Lomonosov fits the bill in other ways as well. For instance, the crater is about as deep as scientists think the shallow northern ocean was at the time of impact. And part of Lomonosov's rim is missing, which is consistent with a mega-tsunami; the displaced water may have knocked this big chunk free as it raged.
While this evidence is suggestive, however, it does not yet rise to the level of a smoking gun, Rodriguez said.
"This crater is a candidate," he said. "I would not go so far as to say this is definitely the crater that produced the tsunami."
That tsunami, by the way, is probably the first of the two big floods that Rodriguez and his colleagues identified back in 2016. That earlier mega-tsunami featured both runoff and backwash flows, the latter of which are caused by water returning to the sea. Lomonosov seems to have been carved by both types of flows.
The second mega-tsunami caused runoff but not backwash, suggesting that Mars, and the ocean, may have been colder at the time. It's possible the northern ocean had a significant amount of ice cover when this other impactor came crashing down, he added.
Lomonosov is interesting enough on solely geological grounds.
"This is possibly the first time that a potential marine crater associated with a tsunami has been investigated outside Earth," Rodriguez said.
And then there are the astrobiological implications. As noted above, Lomonosov's size suggests the northern ocean — a potentially habitable environment — persisted for a relatively long time. It's statistically unlikely, after all, that the Lomonosov impact occurred right after this liquid ocean formed.
And even if the ocean were largely frozen at the time, the impact would have created an environment favorable to life as we know it: The tremendous energy unleashed would have melted lots of ice and created a hydrothermal system at Lomonosov, Rodriguez said.
The crater is therefore a tantalizing target for future life-hunting missions. Robotic explorers probably aren't up to the task, however, because the Lomonosov area is covered by an ice layer about 33 feet (10 meters) thick, Rodriguez said.
But human explorers could probably drill down through the ice and access sediments on the crater floor. And these pioneers could use the abundant water ice for life support, providing an exploration twofer.

RVEen omwonende zag enkele vreemde lichtpunten aan de hemel. Mogelijk gaat het om drones.
SINT-TRUIDEN Afgelopen maandag werd boven een graanveld in Bevingen een unidentified flying object (ufo) waargenomen. Ooggetuigen filmden enkele vreemde lichtflitsen, die even snel alweer verdwenen. “Het zouden gewoon drones kunnen zijn”, aldus het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt. “Maar of we daar zeker van zijn? Dat niet, nee.”
“Ik heb geen idee wat het was”, zegt Mathieu Helleputte. “Maandagavond omstreeks 22.10 uur zagen we plots drie zeer felle lichtpunten boven een graanveld in Bevingen tijdens het dassenspotten. Heel ongewoon, ze bewogen razendsnel. Ik heb net op tijd mijn gsm op ‘filmen’ kunnen zetten. Vier seconden later waren ze weg. We hebben nog dertig minuten staan wachten, maar er kwam niets meer. Vrienden van mij raadden mij aan het te melden bij het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt, wat ik ook gedaan heb.”
Lichtkogels
Frederick Delaere, coördinator van het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt, vertelt wat er mogelijk te zien is op de beelden: “Na het ontvangen van deze waarneming en het bekijken van het bijhorende foto- en videomateriaal, konden de onderzoekers van het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt voorlopig twee mogelijke verklaringen naar voren schuiven. Het uiterlijk en gedrag van het fenomeen doet in verschillende opzichten denken aan lichtkogels. Dergelijke kogels worden wel vaker ingezet in de omgeving van luchthavens om bijvoorbeeld vogels af te schrikken en zo het luchtverkeer veilig te laten verlopen.”
Het fenomeen doet op meerdere vlakken denken aan lichtkogels, al meldde de regionale luchthaven alvast dat die niet van bij hen kwamen
Frederick Delaere
De regionale luchthaven (Limburg Regional Airport bvba) liet echter weten dat er op dat moment geen lichtkogels werden afgevuurd. Delaere: “Dit sluit evenwel niet uit dat iemand anders buiten de luchthaven dergelijke kogels heeft afgeschoten. Wel werd door de luchthaven bevestigd dat er op het moment van de waarneming verschillende drones met ledverlichting in het luchtruim aanwezig waren.”
Getuige ondervragen
Dergelijke toestellen worden volgens Delaere regelmatig vanaf de desbetreffende luchthaven opgelaten. Bovendien strookt de kijkrichting van de waarneming met de richting waarin de drones op dat moment vlogen. Maar voorlopig kan niet met zekerheid worden meegedeeld of hier lichtkogels of drones te zien zijn. “Verder onderzoek en eventuele ondervraging van de getuige zullen hier binnenkort misschien uitsluitsel over geven. Momenteel is het nog te vroeg om een definitieve uitspraak over de herkomst van het verschijnsel te doen”, aldus Delaere.

3 mysterieuze lichtbollen verschenen boven graanveld in België. Check hier de beelden
Vorige maand is boven een graanveld in het Belgische dorp Bevingen een onbekend vliegend object vastgelegd op camera. Dat schrijft nieuwssite HLN.
In onderstaand filmpje zijn drie vreemde lichten te zien in de lucht.
Mathieu Helleputte zag op maandagavond 15 juli rond 22.10 uur plotseling drie felle lichten boven het graanveld verschijnen.
Razendsnel
“Heel ongewoon,” zei hij. “Ze bewogen razendsnel. Ik heb net op tijd mijn gsm op ‘filmen’ kunnen zetten. Vier seconden later waren ze weg.”
Helleputte besloot de waarneming op aanraden van vrienden te melden bij het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt.
Het meldpunt liet weten dat de mysterieuze bollen aan lichtkogels doen denken. Die worden soms ingezet in de omgeving van vliegvelden om vogels af te schrikken.
Niet met zekerheid
De enige luchthaven in de buurt liet weten dat er op dat moment geen lichtkogels werden afgevuurd.
Wel zouden er op het moment van de waarneming drones in de lucht aanwezig zijn geweest.
“Maar voorlopig kan niet met zekerheid worden meegedeeld of hier lichtkogels of drones te zien zijn,” aldus coördinator van het meldpunt Frederick Delaere.
Potentially habitable 'super-Earth' discovered just 31 light-years away
Potentially habitable 'super-Earth' discovered just 31 light-years away
Follow-up research could reveal if the planet is rocky or has oceans.
The GJ 357 system has three planets that we know of. One, named GJ 357 d, sits within the star's habitable zone and could sustain liquid water on its surface.

Astronomers announced Wednesday that they had discovered the nearest potentially habitable planet outside our solar system.
The newfound exoplanet — a so-called super-Earth named GJ 357 d — lies 31 light-years away from our solar system. It’s about six times more massive than our planet and orbits in its host star’s habitable zone, where water could exist in liquid form on the surface.
There’s no evidence at this point that life exists on the exoplanet, only that conditions there could support life as we know it.
“It’s a distance from the star that is not too hot and not too cold,” said Lisa Kaltenegger, an associate professor of astronomy and director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. The findings, published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, were presented Wednesday at an exoplanet conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Kaltenegger, who co-authored a study about the newfound exoplanet, said the discovery was totally unexpected. “It was like a freebie, because it was discovered in the follow-up,” she said of an analysis of observational data obtained from NASA’s planet-hunting TESS satellite and ground-based telescopes. “I was on vacation at the time, and I was completely surprised.”
Using TESS, a $337-million spacecraft that was launched in April 2018, the astronomers had detected another planet orbiting the same star, known as GJ 357. When they used ground-based telescopes at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands and the University of La Laguna to conduct follow-up research on that planet, known as GJ 357 b, the scientists found two more planets in the system, including GJ 357 d.
The other two known planets in the star system, GJ 357 b and GJ 357 c, are not thought to be habitable because surface temperatures on the two worlds would be scorching. The surface of exoplanet GJ 357 c, for instance, is estimated to be about 260 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Kaltenegger.
Little is known about the potentially habitable planet, which takes almost 56 days to orbit its host star at a distance roughly one-fifth of the distance between Earth and the sun. Kaltenegger said a pair of next-generation telescopes — the James Webb Space Telescope that is scheduled to launch in 2021 and the Extremely Large Telescope in Chile that is expected to begin operating in 2025 — should reveal more, including whether the planet is rocky or has oceans.
“This is definitely going to be one of the best targets for these telescopes because it’s so close and so bright,” Kaltenegger said. “This means we can collect that light and analyze it further to see the chemical composition of the atmosphere, or if we see signs of liquid water or oxygen. The closer the better and the brighter the better, and this one happens to be both.”
Elisabeth Adams, an associate research scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Somerville, Massachusetts, called the discovery of GJ 357 d “really exciting” — especially because the alien world is relatively close by in astronomical terms.
“This is going to be one of the best ones to go look at with the James Webb Space Telescope,” Adams said. “It’s a really good candidate to get atmospheric measurements, and that would tell us the composition or if there’s oxygen, and from there, that would tell us how habitable it is.”
Since GJ 357 d is so much more massive than Earth, Adams said any life that exists there would likely be very different from life on our planet. The planet’s mass suggests it could support a giant ocean, she added, “so it could have aquatic life.”
Kaltenegger said she and her colleagues plan to study the exoplanet more closely in the coming months, and will conduct additional observations of GJ 357 to look for other planets in the star system.
Editor's note:An earlier version of this article misstated Lisa Kaltenegger's role in the research. She was a co-author of the study in Astronomy & Astrophysics, not the study's leader.
That is the biggest bs description that I have ever heard in my life what a lousy excuse don’t believe your eyes that city is there as sure as I’m standing here this is got to be part of CERN the big Collider bringing another dimension in to ours!
Let me ask all the people that watch this one question how do you make a mirage of a giant generating fan spinning especially with photos as clear as those we’ve all seen the shimmering roads out in the distance where you can see the heat off the road.
An entire city with buildings roofs and a spinning fan? Not creepy at all is it? Why are government scientists out there already? G.M.
