We Could Be Witnessing the Death of a Tectonic Plate, Says Earth Scientist
We Could Be Witnessing the Death of a Tectonic Plate, Says Earth Scientist
A gaping hole in a dying tectonic plate beneath the ocean along the West Coast of the United States may be wreaking havoc at Earth's surface, but not in a way most people might expect.
This gash is so big it may trigger earthquakes off the coast of Northern California and could explain why central Oregon has volcanoes, a new study found.
The researchers in the new study aren't the first to suggest that the Michigan-size Juan de Fuca (pronounced "wahn de fyoo-kuh") plate has a tear. But thanks to a new, detailed dataset, they're the first to say so with certainty. [The Science of Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift (Infographic)]
"Where other people had debated whether or not it [the tear] was there, we can pretty confidently say that it's real," study lead researcher William Hawley, a doctoral student in the Earth and Planetary Science Department at the University of California, Berkeley, told Live Science.
The Juan de Fuca plate is long, stretching about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) along the Pacific Northwest coast, from Vancouver Island, Canada, to Cape Mendocino, California. "No part of it is above the water. It's a total oceanic plate" that's subducting, or diving beneath another plate, in this case the North American plate (a continental plate), Hawley said.
From 2011 to 2015, scientists boated out over different parts of the Juan de Fuca plate, dropped ocean-bottom seismometers underwater and let these sensors collect seismic data from earthquakes all over the world for a year.
Scientists aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson recover a seismometer, part of the Cascadia Initiative, off the coast of Oregon and Washington. This instrument spent a year on the seafloor, recording earthquakes from all over the world.

When the year was up, the researchers returned, fished up the seismometers and uploaded the data, which allowed them to create a tomography, or layout, of the plate. Then, they deployed the devices to other spots on the plate. "It was an enormous community effort," Hawley said.
The data from these seismometers showed how seismic waves traveled through the plate, which, in turn, revealed information about the plate's composition and varying temperatures. One region under central Oregon showed a gap in high-velocity seismic waves, which Hawley interpreted to be the hole.
But why does this hole exist? Hawley and study co-researcher Richard Allen, director of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, hypothesized that there is a weak zone in the Juan de Fuca plate that exists because the plate formed at two overlapping ridge segments. As this weakened zone of the oceanic plate goes under the continental plate, it unzips from the bottom up (from the underside upward), creating a gash.
"This tearing may eventually cause the plate to fragment, and what is left of the small pieces of the plate will attach to other plates nearby," the researchers wrote in the study. In other words, "we're witnessing the death of a plate," but it will take at least a few million years to die, Hawley said.
The volcanoes in central Oregon may have arisen because of a tear in the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate.

Hawley and Allen estimated that the hole is located at a depth of between 155 and 60 miles (250 and 100 km). The tear itself, which is narrower on top and widens with depth, is about 120 miles (200 km) wide. [Hidden Undersea Mountains Uncovered with Satellites (Photos)]
Moreover, it appears that material is getting pushed up through the tear, which may have led to the formation of the volcanoes in central Oregon's High Lava Plains about 17 million years ago, Hawley noted. In fact, it's incredible how many geographical and seismic features in the Pacific Northwest fit into the researchers' hypothesis, he said.
"The story links the hole in the tomography with this known weak zone in a plate and with a series of volcanic centers in Oregon and with a series of earthquakes and faults off the coast of Northern California," Hawley said.
The research is a "thought-provoking idea paper," said Ray Wells, a research geologist emeritus with the U.S. Geological Survey in Portland, Oregon, who was not involved with the study.
"I'm happy to see more data indicating a hole in the Juan de Fuca plate," Wells told Live Science in an email. "The coincidence of the hole with the location of a subducted zone of weakness in the Juan de Fuca plate is interesting and could help to produce a tear."
UK’s ‘Area 51’ revealed where ‘alien abductions’ happened, flying saucers were monitored and UFO-style aircraft were tested REVEALED
UK’s ‘Area 51’ revealed where ‘alien abductions’ happened, flying saucers were monitored and UFO-style aircraft were tested -- REVEALED
Daniel Hall
OVER a million alien enthusiasts recently signed up to a Facebook event to storm Area 51 — the secretive US military base believed by some to hold the wreckage of crashed UFOs.
But if Brits want to don tin foil hats and look for evidence of extraterrestrials in the UK, where should they go?
The Taranis UAV – real RAF technology that looks like it could be alien
The Facebook plan to storm the American base to “see them aliens” began as a joke which is now being taken seriously — deadly seriously.
Not only did Facebook pull down the page, the Air Force issued a chilling warning to potential raiders that: “The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets.”
It’s not known exactly what secrets the shadowy base has that authorities are desperate to defend.
But conspiracy theorists in the UK don’t need to look as far afield as the States for mysterious government facilities linked with UFOs.
Nick Pope ran the Ministry of Defence’s UFO project in the 1990s, looking into reports of flying saucers, crop circles, and even abductions.
Here he reveals the secret spots that might be “Britain’s Area 51”.

RAF Rudloe Manor, Wiltshire
Theory: Alien technology being kept in secret underground lab
For years, conspiracy theorists believed the government was hiding something at RAF Rudloe Manor in Corsham, Wiltshire.
And to some extent, they were right — documents made public in 2010 admitted that the base WAS used in UFO investigations.
That’s because Rudloe Manor was home to the Flying Complaints Flight, a unit of the RAF Police which gathered reports of UFO sightings from RAF bases and passed them to the MoD HQ.
And the secret site came under even more scrutiny when it was revealed there was a vast network of underground tunnels beneath the base.
Ufologists had suspected this for years but instead of the tunnels being used to hide alien technology they were nuclear bomb shelters.
The vast subterranean bunkers would be where government ministers and royals would’ve been evacuated to if there was a nuclear strike on Britain.
Even though Rudloe Manor was closed in 2000, it still attracts conspiracy theorists — some have been arrested by MoD Police for breaking in.
Nick himself had a brush with the authorities when he was filming a documentary there with presenter Giorgio Tsoukalos a few years ago.
He said: “As a former MoD employee I didn’t feel it was appropriate for me to approach the site, so Giorgio went alone.
“Within moments, military police turned up and halted filming, further fuelling the conspiracy theories.”

Theory: UFO investigations team officially shutdown but still running in secret
Inside Room 8245 in the MoD Main Building in Whitehall, the government’s main UFO project looked into the strange reports of flying saucers around the UK.
In the 50 years the project ran until 2009, around 12,000 cases were looked into by the team.
Although most were debunked, around five per cent of the cases couldn’t be explained.
And although the project was officially closed down a decade ago, Nick believes it still operating but now in secret.
He claims a source in the MoD told him Americans were now running the project.
And another told him investigations have just moved to a new part of the building where the investigators are jokingly referred to as Mulder and Scully.
Nick even says protesters have already turned up at the site to demand answers in October 1995.
He said: “It wasn’t quite on the scale of what’s threatened for Area 51.
“Around 20 people assembled outside Parliament and then marched over to Main Building, waving signs that said ‘UFOs are real’, before handing in a letter demanding an end to UFO secrecy.
“I’d left the UFO project by then, but they somehow got hold of my new phone number and I had to meet them and formally take possession of their letter.”

Britain’s X-Files
The National Archives, Kew
Theory: Sensitive documents about aliens kept secret after sham public release
The UK’s National Archives in Kew are the final repository of the MoD’s real-life X-Files.
Last year, declassified files there showed the government had spent 50 years looking into UFOs in the hope we could steal alien technology to develop super weapons during the Cold War.
The once-secret files showed UFOs were real and being taken seriously.
They also detailed near misses between RAF aircraft and UFOs which posed a dangerous threat to the crew’s safety.
The first load of these files was made public in the National Archives in 2008 — and Nick was enlisted to help with their publicity.
And over the next 11 years, more and more information came out, but some files were still redacted.
This made some people think the government was holding information back.
But Nick says: “The blacked-out material is often just names and addresses of UFO witnesses, withheld to protect people’s privacy.
“If people could see the uncensored files, all people will find out is that Mr Smith of 22 Acacia Avenue saw a UFO while out walking his dog sometime back in 1985!”

Secret weapons research centre
RAE Farnborough, Hampshire
Theory: Site of ‘alien abductions’ is primary location where alien tech would be kept
The Royal Aerospace Establishment at Farnborough, Hampshire has previously been called Britain’s Area 51.
RAE Farnborough was originally set up as an aircraft and weapons research facility at the turn of the twentieth century and closed in the late 1980s.
In 2015, a lengthy report by conspiracy theorists claimed the site was well-connected to UFO sightings — and even alien abductions.
Rumours persist, and Farnborough is currently home to QinetiQ, a defence technology company that researches and develops cutting-edge equipment including weapons, robotics and space-related tech.
And Nick says if the UK ever did get hold of extraterrestrial tech, it probably would’ve been sent to Farnborough for study.
But he also wants to pour cold water on the claims that the site ever did have alien tech — as he had a close relationship with someone who knew for a fact there were no UFO weapons there.
Nick said: “I’m sceptical about this, for a very good reason — one that’s generated a few conspiracy theories.
“My late father, Dr. Geoffrey Pope, was the Director of RAE Farnborough, before ending his MoD career as the Deputy Chief Scientific Adviser.”
“As he once joked: ‘If there was spaceship in a hangar somewhere in the UK, it would have been my hangar!'”

UFOs by numbers
In 2018, a proposed NASA Budget included $10 million to find aliens.
There were 2, 579 reported sightings in 2019 alone in the US.
3,000 attended the world’s largest UFO conference, ‘Contact in the Desert’ in 2019.
It took 8 years for the US Military to acknowledge the existence of Area 51 (they confirmed in 2013, after a 2008 FOI).
30,000 Lloyds of London insurance policies claim to have been sold for alien abduction.
The sci-fi aircraft factory
BAE Warton, Lancashire
Theory: Next-generation aircraft developed from UFOs
BAE Systems is one of the world’s biggest defence companies and Warton is its manufacturing and testing facility.
It’s the birthplace of some of the most innovative fighter jets ever made, including the Typhoon and the Tornado.
But multiple conspiracy theorists say they’ve seen UFOs flying over the airfield, sparking rumours of alien technology at the site.
In fact, the MoD even had to officially deny that it had been testing its new unmanned aircraft, Taranis, after a UFO was blamed for the destruction of a wind turbine.
And Nick says you only have to look at the development of cutting-edge aircraft to be confident BAE Warton has technology the public don’t know about.
He said: “People would be staggered if they knew how long ago stealth technology was being developed, many years before anything was officially acknowledged.
“The RAF’s proposed Tempest aircraft – BAE Systems is one of the partners – will be armed with lasers and hypersonic weapons, and accompanied by a drone swarm.
“If this is the stuff they’re telling you about, what aren’t they telling you?”
BAE Systems’ testing facilities in Warton has been the source of many supposed UFO sightings

An artist's illustration of a massive impact on earth. Some single-celled organisms may be able to survive extreme impacts such as these, scientists say.
Life has had plenty of opportunities to spread throughout the Milky Way galaxyover the eons, a recent study suggests — and our own Earth may be one of the key dispersal points.
The sun's random motion through space has brought it close to many other stars over the past 4.6 billion years. These close encounters likely jostle far-flungcometsfree from both systems, sending them careening toward the passing star, said study author Robert Zubrin, president of the Colorado-based company Pioneer Astronautics.
This "comet swapping" is probably responsible for many of Earth's past mass extinctions, Zubrin found. But the phenomenon has also likely aided life in the bigger picture, helping it hop from island to island across the vast ocean of space, he said.
"It's a mechanism whereby life could have been delivered to us, and whereby we have probably delivered life to lots of other places over the past 3.5 billion years," Zubrin told Space.com. "And if you simply extrapolate off of that and say, 'Everybody's doing this,' you've got the galaxy as a supercritical reactor, saturating itself with life."
This conclusion is based on some straightforward calculations, which take into account the average stellar density in the sun's neighborhood (0.003 stars per cubic light-year), the sun's velocity relative to this star field (about 22,370 mph, or 36,000 km/h) and the makeup of the Milky Way's stellar population (about 75% small, dim red dwarfs, for example).
Zubrin also assumed that other stars harbor huge comet repositories on their outskirts, like our own sun's Oort Cloud. The extent of the Oort Cloud is unknown; its outer edge is estimated to lie anywhere between 30,000 and 100,000 astronomical units (AU) from the sun. (1 AU is the average Earth-sun distance — about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.)
Zubrin employed a relatively conservative size estimate, setting our Oort Cloud's radius at 40,000 AU. He then used that figure to estimate the average radii of other star types' Oort Clouds. Red dwarfs, for example, should be able to hold onto comets out to about 20,000 AU, he determined.
It's unclear how many comets lie in the Oort Cloud. Zubrin assumed a population of 1 trillion — an estimate that's thrown around frequently — and therefore arrived at a density of four comets per 1,000 cubic AU.
The sun can gravitationally capture another star's Oort Cloud object if it gets within 10 AU of that object, Zubrin determined. So, there could be a lot of captures per stellar encounter. For example, say the sun gets within 20,000 AU of another star. The sun would carve a roughly 20,000-AU path through that alien Oort Cloud, potentially capturing 25,000 objects (assuming alien Oort Clouds also harbor about four objects per 1,000 cubic AU.)
These captured bodies would come barreling toward the inner solar system, drawn by the sun's powerful gravitational tug. And some of our Oort Cloud objects would do the same, in the other direction.
"The great majority of impacts caused by disrupted objects would no doubt be delivered to gas-giants type planets," Zubrin wrote in the study, which was published in June in the International Journal of Astrobiology. "However, with such a large number of objects released per pass, Earth-sized worlds would likely be impacted as well."
The numbers are different for stars of different sizes, because they have stronger or weaker gravitational pulls depending on their masses. A red dwarf with 30% the mass of the sun, for example, would have to get within 3 AU of another star's Oort Cloud object to snag it, Zubrin found.
He used all of this information (and more) to calculate the frequency of close stellar encounters, and to get a handle on their consequences. And the results were striking, if you'll pardon the pun.
He found that our sun has had about 47 close stellar encounters per billion years over the course of its 4.6-billion-year life, with about half of those flybys involving red dwarfs. That works out to about one encounter every 21 million years.
This latter figure is intriguingly close to the inferred periodicity of mass extinctions here on Earth, which seem to occur every 20 million to 40 million years. Scientists have proposed that comet impacts are dealing these death blows, and have therefore come up with possible mechanisms that could send these icy wanderers screaming toward Earth at regular intervals.
For example, some researchers have posited that the sun has an undiscovered companion, dubbed Nemesis, which jostles our Oort Cloud every 26 million years or so. Others think this destabilization comes courtesy of a disk of galactic dark matter, which our solar system travels through on a similar timescale.
But Zubrin's work fingers alien comets, not those native to our own solar system, as the primary agents of destruction.
His calculations also suggest that solar systems frequently trade material via such comet bombardments. For example, dust blasted off Earth by impacts can be pushed outward by sunlight pressure at 67,000 mph (108,000 km/h), Zubrin wrote — considerably faster than two stars are moving relative to each other in a typical close encounter.
That means microbes could make the jump from our system to a temporary neighbor. And they could do so relatively quickly, avoiding extensive exposure to damaging deep-space radiation. (The idea that life has hopped from world to world, and perhaps even from solar system to solar system, is known as panspermia. There are multiple variants. For example, some scientists think Earth life was seeded intentionally by intelligent aliens — a concept known as directed panspermia.)
"Furthermore, even if ejected material fails to hit the passing solar system, it could become captured in the home solar system’s Oort Cloud," Zubrin wrote. "Such material, as well as dust particles containing microbes previously driven outward by the pressure of sunlight, could be stored for long periods in Oort Cloud objects in deep freeze under effective ice shielding until a subsequent encounter with a different passing stellar system causes it to be released and transferred at that time."
Our sun is more massive than 90% of the stars in the Milky Way, so our Oort Cloud is more extensive than most. This means that we've been the dominant donor in most stellar encounters, delivering about three times more cometary bombardments on other solar systems than we ourselves receive, Zubrin said.
The overall implication of these results is exciting for astrobiologists, and anyone else who hopes Earth life isn't alone in the universe.
"The galaxy has been seeded with life, if from no other source than the Earth," Zubrin said.

Dark matter is already one of the oddest and biggest mysteries in the universe. However, a new study out of Johns Hopkins University is putting an even bigger cloud over it. The study outlines a new theory that dark matter may have actually predated the Big Bang and offers methods to identify it with astronomical observations.

“The study revealed a new connection between particle physics and astronomy. If dark matter consists of new particles that were born before the Big Bang, they affect the way galaxies are distributed in the sky in a unique way,” says Tommi Tenkanen, a postdoctoral fellow in Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins and the study’s author. “This connection may be used to reveal their identity and make conclusions about the times before the Big Bang too,”
Previously, dark matter was thought to have arisen from the Big Bang like regular matter and that dark matter must be just leftovers. However, the paper — published in Physical Review Letters — says maybe not so much.
Data gathered by the Hubble Space Telescope informs a map of dark matter.
While not much is known about dark matter’s origins, astronomers have shown that it plays a crucial role in the formation of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Though not directly observable, scientists know dark matter exists by its gravitation effects on how visible matter behaves and is distributed in space.
The study shows that dark matter — which is believed to make up 80 percent of the matter in the universe — might have been produced prior the Big Bang during a point in time known as the cosmic inflation when space was expanding very rapidly. The rapid expansion is believed to lead to copious production of certain types of particles called scalars. But so far, only one scalar particle has ever been found, the infamous Higgs boson.
While the idea that dark matter existed before the Big Bang is not new, other theorists have not been able to come up with calculations that support the idea.
The new study shows that researchers have always overlooked the simplest possible mathematical scenario for dark matter’s origins. The new report offers up a way to test the origin of dark matter by observing the signatures it leaves on the allocation of matter in the universe.
“While this type of dark matter is too elusive to be found in particle experiments, it can reveal its presence in astronomical observations,” said Tenkanen. “We will soon learn more about the origin of dark matter when the Euclid satellite is launched in 2022. It’s going to be very exciting to see what it will reveal about dark matter and if its findings can be used to peak into the times before the Big Bang.”
New research centering around the Unruh effect has created a set of necessary conditions that theories of quantum gravity must meet.
Quantum physics has, since its development in the early years of the 20th century, become one of the most successful and well-evidenced areas of science. But, despite all of its successes and experimental triumphs, there is a shadow that hangs over it.
Despite successfully integrating electromagnetic, the weak and strong nuclear forces — three of the four fundamental forces — quantum physics is yet to find a place for gravity.
As such, it cannot link with one of physics other great triumphs, that of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Thus, physicists are currently working hard to develop a quantum theory of gravity.
Now researchers led by the SISSA (Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati), the Complutense University of Madrid and the University of Waterloo — have identified the sufficient and necessary conditions that the low-energy limit of quantum gravity theories must satisfy to preserve the main features of the Unruh effect.
Any new theory of physics must factor in this effect — this means quantum gravity theories too, must have a place for the Unruh effect and its predictions (which are detailed below).
The new study — published in the journal Physical Review Letters — provides a solid theoretical framework to discuss modifications to the Unruh effect caused by the microstructure of space-time.
Eduardo Martin-Martinez, an assistant professor in Waterloo’s Department of Applied Mathematics, elaborates on the team’s work: “What we’ve done is analyzed the conditions to have Unruh effect and found that contrary to an extended belief in a big part of the community thermal response for particle detectors can happen without a thermal state.”
The team’s findings of importance because the Unruh effect exists in the boundary between quantum field theory and general relativity, and quantum gravity, which we are yet to understand.
“So, if someone wants to develop a theory of what’s going on beyond what we know of quantum field theory and relativity, they need to guarantee they satisfy the conditions we identify in their low energy limits.”
What is the Unruh effect?
The Unruh effect was first described by Stephen Fulling in 1973, followed by Paul Davies in 1975 and William G Unruh — after whom it was named — in 1976.
W.G Unruh, one of the developers of the Unruh effect, after whom it was named.
It predicts that an observer in a non-inertial reference frame — one that is accelerating — would observe photons and other particles in a seemingly empty space while another person who is inertial would see a vacuum in that same area.
In other words; a consequence of the Unruh effect is that the nature of a vacuum in the universe is dependant on the path taken through it.
As an analogy, consider a universe with a constant temperature of zero and in which, no heat arises from the effects of friction or kinetic energy contributions. A still thermometer would have its mercury-level sat permanently at zero.
But the Unruh effect posits that if that thermometer was waved from side-to-side, the temperature measured would no longer be zero. The temperature measured would be proportional to the acceleration that the thermometer undergoes.
Raúl Carballo-Rubio, a postdoctoral researcher at SISSA, Italy, explains further: “Inertial and accelerated observers do not agree on the meaning of ‘empty space.
“What an inertial observer carrying a particle detector identifies as a vacuum is not experienced as such by an observer accelerating through that same vacuum. The accelerated detector will find particles in thermal equilibrium, like a hot gas.”
He further explains that as a result of this, it is reasonable to expect that any new physics that modifies the structure of quantum field theory at short distances, would induce deviations from this law.
Carballo-Rubio continues: “While probably anyone would agree that these deviations must be present, there is no consensus on whether these deviations would be large or small in a given theoretical framework.
“This is precisely the issue that we wanted to understand.”
Defining the conditions theories of quantum gravity must satisfy
The researchers analyzed the mathematical structure of the correlations of a quantum field in frameworks beyond standard quantum field theory.
The result of this analysis was then used to identify the three necessary conditions that are sufficient to preserve the Unruh effect.
Low-energy predictions of quantum gravity theories can be constructed from the results. The findings of this research provide the tools necessary to make these predictions in a broad spectrum of situations.
Having been able to determine how the Unruh effect is modified by alterations of the structure of quantum field theory, as well as the relative importance of these modifications, the researchers believe the study provides a solid theoretical framework to discuss and perhaps test this particular aspect as one of the possible phenomenological manifestations of quantum gravity.
This is particularly important and appropriates even if the effect has not yet been measured experimentally, as it is expected to be verified in the not so distant future.

Are Alien Messages Encoded in our DNA?
Are Alien Messages Encoded in our DNA?
Are we alone in the universe? This is a question most people have pondered at one time or another.
Since the distances between us and the nearest habitable planets can only be measured in light years, direct proof of alien life will remain incredibly difficult to come by. The SETI project has been searching for radio signals beamed out into space by aliens, but so far this quest has proved fruitless. If we one day develop warp drive, or if other intelligent life forms discover it, perhaps a visitation will take place that settles the question once and for all.
But then again, perhaps aliens already have visited here in the past. Or maybe they’re visiting right now and have been doing so all along. But for reasons we cannot fathom, they’re either unable or unwilling to contact us openly. If that is the case, they may have left coded information behind somewhere announcing their presence, waiting for us to become advanced enough to find it and correctly interpret its meaning.
If extraterrestrials have left behind some hidden but decipherable proof of their existence, to test our intelligence and level of scientific advancement, they might have left it inside the cells of our body – in our DNA, the ultimate building block of life on Earth.
Some researchers believe data revealing the truth about our origins and about our connection to alien life can in fact be found by searching within. They posit that human beings were created as biological mirror images of our progenitors, a superior extraterrestrial civilization that paved the way for our existence millions of years ago.
This is a provocative thesis, to be sure. If true, it would give a whole new meaning to the Biblical phrase “for you were made in my image.” Under this scenario, the voice of God might actually have been the voice of a scientific genius from another planet.
We might expect the discussion of such a concept to be confined to the fringes of the alternative science milieu, or to be incorporated into the plotline of a science fiction show or movie. But surprisingly, the idea is being taken seriously in at least one bastion of mainstream astronomical science.
A Biological SETI
In 2013, two scientists affiliated with the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute in Kazakhstan published an article in the journal Icarus suggesting that the search for extraterrestrial life should be expanded to include a survey of human DNA.
Physicist Vladimir Sherbak and astrobiologist Maxim Makukov are convinced we’ve been genetically engineered by beings from another star system. These founders may have done so directly while visiting here hundreds of millions of years ago. Or, they may have sent an information-packed signal into space that reached Earth and somehow triggered alterations in our DNA. Or, they may have seeded our planet from space with alien genetic material that evolved elsewhere (presumably on their planet of origin).
The latter thesis is known as panspermia, and it has attracted the support of some influential scientists, including by Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of the DNA molecule. Makukov and shCherbak believe this is the most likely alternative, and that our creators intentionally chose Earth as a landing site for their genetic payload.
“Once fixed, the code [in our DNA] might stay unchanged over cosmological timescales,” the two scientists from Kazakhstan wrote in Icarus. “Therefore it represents an exceptionally reliable storage for an intelligent signature.”
Makukov and shCherbak say human DNA looks as though it has been created with mathematical precision. “Simple arrangements of the code reveal an ensemble of arithmetical and ideographical patterns of symbolic language. Furthermore, it includes the use of decimal notation and logical transformations that are accurate and systematic.”
In support of their imaginative theory, Makukov and shCherbak have spotted a specific repeating numerical pattern in the human genetic code. By looking closely at the various mathematical ratios, fractions and constants that show up in calculations and measurements of human DNA, they’ve uncovered multiple instances where the number ‘37’ seems to play a prominent role . In their Icarus research paper, the scientists listed nine instances where the number ‘37’ could be derived by performing calculations somehow related to DNA’s chemical structure, and they calculated the odds of that happening by random at 10 trillion to one against.
“It was clear right away that the code has a non-random structure,” Makukov told an interviewer. “The patterns that we describe are not simply non-random. They have some features that, at least from our point of view, were very hard to ascribe to natural processes.”
Expressed in the metric system, the normal body temperature of a human being is 37 degrees Celsius . And according to the latest estimates, there are approximately 37 trillion cells in the human body . So even outside its inclusion in our DNA, the number ‘37’ does help define who we are in some fundamental ways. This is just as we might expect, if that number were included in DNA as a sign.
Evolution or Panspermia? Why Not Both?
The two Kazakhstan scientists are not the first to note certain patterns or regularities in DNA that may be difficult to fit in a Darwinian evolutionary framework. Hardcore Darwinists refuse to accept this, and they have a tendency to reflexively dismiss skeptics as Intelligent Design advocates, conflating their objections with Creationist religious beliefs.
But these tactics have not stopped people with legitimate scientific credentials from asking hard questions about the conventional story of evolution, or from offering alternative ideas to explain the origin and development of life on Earth. Creationists aren’t the only ones expressing doubts about the ability of Darwinism or neo-Darwinism to explain every aspect of our development as a species.
In fact, there is nothing in the Makukov and shCherbak hypothesis that is incompatible with the principles of evolution, not even the Darwinian version. Even if this planet was somehow helped along on the path to producing intelligent life, evolutionary factors may still have been active contributors to the production of the final result. The creation of life on Earth may have involved both natural processes and outside intervention, the latter helping to shape the course of evolution without replacing it.
One thing is for sure, and that is that we really know very little for certain about the origin of life on this planet. There are many mysteries and contradictions in our evolutionary history that are yet to be unraveled.

Zitten er buitenaardse boodschappen verscholen in ons DNA? Deze wetenschappers zeggen van wel
Zitten er buitenaardse boodschappen verscholen in ons DNA? Deze wetenschappers zeggen van wel
Kazakse wetenschappers stellen dat er in ons DNA een genetische code van buitenaardse wezens zit.
Zij schreven in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Icarus over hun onderzoek, dat moet uitwijzen dat het menselijk DNA door een oude buitenaardse beschaving werd gecodeerd.
Volgens de onderzoekers van de Universiteit van Kazachstan en het Fesenkov Astrofysisch Instituut kan de wiskundige code van het menselijk DNA niet alleen worden verklaard door de evolutietheorie.
Buitenaards signaal
Ze denken dat 97 procent van het menselijk DNA bestaat uit een genetische code afkomstig van buitenaardse levensvormen.
Een oude beschaving heeft in de Melkweg lang geleden een buitenaards signaal uitgezonden, dat uiteindelijk de weg naar de aarde vond en een genetische code in het DNA van mensen implanteerde, aldus de wetenschappers.
Astrobioloog Maxim Makoekov van het Fesenkov Astrofysisch Instituut in de Kazakse stad Alma-Ata stelt dat al het aardse leven uit de ruimte is gekomen.
Stempel
Hij zegt bovendien dat het leven op aarde miljarden jaren geleden is geschapen door aliens. Volgens Makoekov bevat ons DNA een buitenaardse ‘stempel’.
“Deze stempel kan gedurende vele kosmologische tijdperken onveranderd blijven; het is de meest duurzame constructie die we kennen,” schreef hij.
Anders verlopen
“We werden miljarden jaren geleden buiten het zonnestelsel gemaakt. De mensheid speurt de ruimte af met telescopen op zoek naar aliens, maar een buitenaardse boodschap kan net zo goed al in onszelf zitten,” zei hij.
“Vroeg of laat moeten we accepteren dat al het leven op aarde de genetische code van onze buitenaardse familie bij zich draagt en dat de evolutie anders is verlopen dan gedacht,” besloot hij.
INTERESSANT DIMENSIEVRAAGSTUK VOOR ZEER SLIMME LEZERS
INTERESSANT DIMENSIEVRAAGSTUK VOOR ZEER SLIMME LEZERS
We weten dat we beschikken over zeer slimme lezers die soms met verbazingwekkende dingen komen.
Zo ook nu, maar nu is er hulp nodig van anderen om een revolutionaire theorie een stap verder te brengen.
Hierna volgt een verhaal/theorie van een lezer (dank!) dat we publiceren precies zoals we dat hebben ontvangen.
Het is geen gemakkelijke kost en zal menigeen boven de pet gaan. Desondanks, mochten er lezers zijn die behulpzaam kunnen zijn bij het uitwerken bij het verdere traject, laat ons alsjeblieft weten via redactie(apenstaart)niburu.co (geschreven als normaal emailadres).
Beste Niburu redactie,
Alles bevindt zich in twee dimensies: een bewegende en een stilstaande dimensie. Beide dimensies hebben omgekeerde eigenschappen, zijn reciprook, zeg maar zijn x en 1/x In beide dimensies is voortplanten, propagatie, van elektrische signalen mogelijk. Tot op heden maakt men alleen gebruik van propagatie in de bewegende dimensie, dit zijn de em-golven.
Nog niet ontdekt is propagatie in de stilstaande dimensie. Deze zien eruit als pulsen in het audio gebied en worden (voorlopig) me-pulsen genoemd. Hersengolven lijken hierop. Nikola Tesla maakte hier al gebruik van, met wat hij dacht, zijn telecommunicatie met mars.
Tussen alle twee vaste punten met een zelfde afstand is een zelfde vaste tijd. Deze tijd is de tijd dat licht erover doet om deze afstand te overbruggen. Deze vaste tijd s zoals wij dit waarnemen, is in de omgekeerde vaste dimensie een trilling, is 1/s Dit bepaalt de selectiviteit van het signaal, net als dit het geval is bij elektromagnetische golven.
em-golven bewegen van binnen naar buiten me-pulsen bewegen van buiten naar binnen
Mijn vraag aan jullie is, weten jullie iemand binnen jullie netwerk, die hier eens op een verstandige manier naar zou kunnen en willen kijken.
Dit verklaart waarom nog steeds geen buitenaardse intelligente signalen zijn ontvangen. Er wordt alleen maar gekeken naar em-golven.
Deze me-pulsen bevinden zich in de vaste dimensie. Hebben als groot voordeel, kunnen zeer grote afstanden overbruggen zonder noemenswaardige tijdsvertraging en kunnen bijna oneindig veel data bevatten. Hiermee vergeleken zijn de tot nu toe gebruikte elektromagnetische golven primitief en inferieur.
Dit is een puls waarmee 1E30 data mee te coderen is. Puls breedte is 0,002 sec. ! (klik op plaatje voor grotere afbeelding)
Heb deze pulsen bij toeval ontdekt, mede op aanwijzingen van Nikola Tesla. Volgens hem zouden er elektrische signalen bestaan die omgekeerde eigenschappen zouden hebben als elektromagnetische golven. Hier werkte hij zelf ook mee. Omdat bekend is hoe em-golven werken kun je uitzoeken hoe omgekeerde elektrische signalen eruit zouden kunnen zien, en hoe dit verder allemaal werkt. Bijzonder is dat me-pulsen in een kooi van Faraday te meten zijn, een geheel afgesloten blikken doos, ook doos in doos en al af niet aan aarde, dit maakt allemaal niet uit. De toegepaste sensor zijn twee vaste punten, in de stilstaande dimensie, zoals eerder is beschreven.
Deze sensor heeft iets elektrische lading nodig om te kunnen functioneren en mag niet belast worden. De afstand tussen deze twee vaste punten ligt rond de 830 nanometer, dit bepaalt de selectiviteit. Dit komt overeen met de golflengte van infrarode straling, toeval? Zeer veel verschillende signalen zijn hier mee te meten. Met ongeveer 50% van alle sensoren zijn signalen te meten.
Omdat deze te meten zijn, moet er ook een manier zijn om deze te genereren. Na wat speurwerk is ontdekt hoe dit werkt. Verplaatsen van elektronen binnen een geleider geeft em-golven. Elektronen uit een geleider laten wegvloeien geeft me-pulsen. Bijvoorbeeld: een Teslaspoel genereert me-pulsen. Is aan een kant niet aangesloten en werkt ook in een kooi van Faraday, een doos.
Heb destijds een demonstratie gegeven op het kennispark bij de UTwente. Naar aanleiding hiervan is contact gezocht met afdelingen en wetenschappers.
Hier heeft men inderdaad op gereageerd. Probleem was dat dit nieuwe elementaire wetenschap betreft, en dit eerst wetenschappelijk, wiskundig, aangetoond en bewezen zou moeten worden, ook voordat met hier praktisch mee aan de gang zou kunnen gaan. Omdat wetenschappers razend druk zijn en een eigen agenda hebben, zou ik dit zelf moeten uitzoeken, en hier moet ik passen, dat red ik niet. Ben geen Maxwell. En voor verder onderzoek heb je toch een plek aan een universiteit nodig.
Verder heb ik contact gezocht met Innovation Lab TU Eindhoven, maar nog geen reactie terug gehad. Volgens mij zien ze water branden als ze dit horen.
Als het klopt wat hier beschreven is, heeft dat nogal wat consequenties.
Surprisingly, some sites appear to get a strong knowledge of the bizarre nature of the phenomena and a couple well-placed sources of information. The source states it has been foggy for the previous 3 days in the region. The CIA files contain a succinct overview of the events and can be considered on the agency’s website. Meditative images are also consciously utilised in yoga, as an example, to focus the mind to be able to yield a particular spiritual outcome. Within seconds the 2 objects place a tremendous distance between themselves. The objects appear at various occasions and at distinct points. There are lots of strange artifacts on earth and very frankly I didn’t expect to find one.
UFOs aren’t so hampered. The UFO looks like it’s been seen by plenty of individuals. There isn’t a great deal of in between when it has to do with UFOs.
With the numbers of UFO sightings increasing each calendar year, it’s important that you know just where to report a UFO sighting and what information will be necessary as a way to report it successfully. Usually once you speak about UFO sightings, most folks feel that I mistook it for something else or they may think that it is merely a crap. UFO sightings aren’t a modern phenomenon, they’re not a US-only phenomenon. During February in Minnesota, for instance, only 69 UFO sightings are reported since the start of the 21st century. Recently, among the most renowned mass sightings was the Phoenix Lights.
Ufo Sightings – Dead or Alive?
Project Blue Book provides a helpful example. Clearly, fake stories appear to find the most positive attention should they promise something spectacular. History has proven they need to. Science isn’t so superficial. Someone has to cover science and every previous scientist. Mimicking science isn’t the exact same as doing science. Actually, scientists and a great deal of non-believers make no fuss about expressing their scepticism in regards to extrasensory perception.
What the In-Crowd Won’t Tell You About Ufo Sightings
Extrasensory perception is used for several reasons like holistic wellbeing and energy healing methods to list a few. For that reason, it IS reality. Because of the remoteness of the area, their existence was considered to be a myth for many decades. There’s very little doubt that the world wide web has played a part in the development of UFO reports lately, though most can be explained by natural or human-caused phenomena. So, there’s no need to be concerned about the 156,353 UFO sightings and warnings. Despite the fact that there are plenty of questions regarding the JFK assassination, it is a prime example of individuals attempting to earn sense about something which you can’t make sense of. My issue with channels that concentrate on conspiracy theories, is that so a lot of them just state things as a fact rather than presenting it as a potential outcome.
Ufo Sightings for Dummies
The processing capability to create an entire universe would be enough to predict the future outcomes of such rules. UFO sighting levels depend on not only the presence of unrecognizable objects, but in addition, naturally, on the probability of actually reporting such observations. The growth of social media means that now, everybody has a voice. The trend is tough to notice in the beginning, mostly because there only a couple of dozen reports each month for a lot of the 20th century. The coming shift, or ascension because it’s called, will be a lot more subtle in nature than you could think.
Dead planets send out 'zombie' radio waves by forming a magnetic circuit with their star and these signals can be detected on Earth, scientists discover
Dead planets send out 'zombie' radio waves by forming a magnetic circuit with their star and these signals can be detected on Earth, scientists discover
When stars like the sun expand they can strip planets down to just their cores
These dead worlds for a magnetic circuit with their star and emit radio waves
Researchers calculated how long these planetary corpses could survive for
Some may last for a billion years meaning some should be detectable from Earth
Dead men don't tell tales — but dead planets may, with researchers planning to hunt for their corpse-like cores based on the radio signals they emit.
When stars like the sun get old and burn all their fuel, they expand into red giants before shedding their outer layers and then collapsing into a so-called white dwarf.
In the process, any orbiting worlds get their surface and upper layers flayed off — leaving behind a small, dead, remnant core. One day, this will be Earth's fate.
In the meantime, however, researchers from the UK and the US have determined the best white dwarf stars to study in the hope of finding such dead planets.
The metallic cores of these dead worlds form a magnetic circuit with their host star, emitting radiation that should be detectable from the Earth.

Dead men don't tell tales — but dead planets may, with researchers planning to hunt for their corpse-like cores based on the radio signals they emit. Pictured, an artist's impression of the surviving core of a 'dead' planet orbiting a white dwarf
Astrophysicists Dimitri Veras of the University of Warwick and Alexander Wolszczan of the Pennsylvania State University assessed the likelihood of planets surviving long enough for us to spot them after their star transitioned into a white dwarf.
From their models, the duo found that some planetary cores could survive for more than 100 million years — and, in some cases, even for as long as a billion years.
Lasting this long, they say, means that we have a chance of being able to spot some of these dead worlds from the Earth — a feat the pair hope to accomplish from Puerto Rico's Arecibo observatory and the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia.
'We will use the results of this work as guidelines for designs of radio searches for planetary cores around white dwarfs,' said Professor Wolszczan.
'Given the existing evidence for a presence of planetary debris around many of them, we think that our chances for exciting discoveries are quite good.'
The dead planets should be detectable because their metallic remains and the white dwarf star they orbit can form a type of magnetic circuit that emits radio waves.
In fact, this same induction effect can be seen in our solar system, in which Jupiter and its moon Io for a circuit of their own.
'There is a sweet spot for detecting these planetary cores: a core too close to the white dwarf would be destroyed by tidal forces, and a core too far away would not be detectable,' said Dr Veras.
'Also, if the magnetic field is too strong, it would push the core into the white dwarf, destroying it.'
The dead planets should be detectable because their metallic remains and the white dwarf star they orbit can form a type of magnetic circuit that emits radio waves. Pictured, an artist's impression of a white dwarf star sitting at the heart of a dead planetary system
Given these limits, the researchers are only planning to look for planets around white dwarfs with relatively weaker magnetic fields and that orbit at distances between three times the sun's radius and the distance between the Sun and Mercury.
'Nobody has ever found just the bare core of a major planet before, nor a major planet only through monitoring magnetic signatures, nor a major planet around a white dwarf,' Dr Veras added.
'Therefore, a discovery here would represent "firsts" in three different senses for planetary systems.'
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO EARTH WHEN THE SUN DIES?
Five billion years from now, it's said the sun will have grown into a red giant star, more than a hundred times larger than its current size.
Eventually, it will eject gas and dust to create an 'envelope' accounting for as much as half its mass.
The core will become a tiny white dwarf star. This will shine for thousands of years, illuminating the envelope to create a ring-shaped planetary nebula.

While this metamorphosis will change the solar system, scientists are unsure what will happen to the third rock from the sun.
We already know that our sun will be bigger and brighter, so that it will probably destroy any form of life on our planet.
But whether the Earth's rocky core will survive is uncertain.
A discovery would also help reveal the history of these star systems,' said Dr Veras.
'For a core to have reached that stage it would have been violently stripped of its atmosphere and mantle at some point and then thrown towards the white dwarf.'
'Such a core might also provide a glimpse into our own distant future, and how the solar system will eventually evolve.'
While most astronomers are looking for signs of life on other planets, a few on the apocalyptic side are looking for signs of dead stars and dead planets in an attempt to look into Earth’s hopefully far-off future. What they have found so far is mysterious zombie signals coming from these planets that are no more than giant balls of metal orbiting dead white dwarfs. What is making these strange zombie sounds? Are they calling around the universe for brains?
“Nobody has ever found just the bare core of a major planet before, nor a major planet only through monitoring magnetic signatures, nor a major planet around a white dwarf.”
That is, nobody before Dr. Dimitri Veras from the University of Warwick’s Department of Physics and his team in May of 2019 discovered SDSS J1228+1040 – a white dwarf star (a dead star with no fusion occurring) located about 411 lights years away. According to the press release announcing their new study in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, they also found the remains of one planet. Specifically, the rock orbiting SDSS J1228+1040 appears to be the core of the planet – what’s left after the dying star stripped it of its atmosphere and outer layers, leaving just a cold mass of hardened metals.
It’s a zombie planet … not a planet of zombies
They also discovered something else – a radio signal coming from the zombie planet. Based on a similar signal coming from Jupiter and its moon Io, they determined that the white dwarf and the planet core formed a unipolar inductor circuit with the metallic core acting as a conductor. The radiation from the unipolar inductor circuit forms radio waves which can be picked up by radio telescopes on Earth. Why is this a big deal?
“There is a sweet spot for detecting these planetary cores: a core too close to the white dwarf would be destroyed by tidal forces, and a core too far away would not be detectable. Also, if the magnetic field is too strong, it would push the core into the white dwarf, destroying it. Hence, we should only look for planets around those white dwarfs with weaker magnetic fields at a separation between about 3 solar radii and the Mercury-Sun distance.”
Veras points out that astronomers now have an excellent tool for finding other dead planets. And why is THAT a big deal?
“A discovery would also help reveal the history of these star systems, because for a core to have reached that stage it would have been violently stripped of its atmosphere and mantle at some point and then thrown towards the white dwarf. Such a core might also provide a glimpse into our own distant future, and how the solar system will eventually evolve.”
Yep. Looking at SDSS J1228+1040 and its signal-sending zombie planet are a look into our future. How far into our future? That depends on us (oh boy) and the lifespan of our sun, which is estimated to be about five billion more years. What this new discovery does tell Veras is how long a dead Earth will continue to exist and send its own zombie signals to other galaxies … one billion years.
Which do you think will come first … the end of the Sun or the end of the Earth? Don’t bother betting – there won’t be any bookies left anyway.
We’ve all read the endless headlines. Millions of people may or may notbe “storming” Area 51 next month only to find impenetrable roadblocks manned by heavily armed private security forces equipped with gear we didn’t even know existed. Regardless of what becomes of the “Storm Area 51” phenomenon, the highly classified United States Air Force research and testing facility located deep within the Nevada desert has become somewhat of a cause célèbre.
Companies large and small and celebrities from all walks of public life are jumping on the social media bandwagon to try and attach their name to the event which, if nothing else, has provided the year’s best memes and reminded us just how soullessly devoid of a sense of humor the Armed Forces are. But hey, maybe that’s their job.
There’s nothing funny about the business of killing people.
Case in point: declassified documents from the CIA’s CREST database were unearthed recently revealing the great lengths the USAF went to in an attempt to lure the nation’s best mindsto the desolate Area 51 facility. The documents were dug up by government accountability and transparency advocates MuckRock who regularly publish declassified FBI and CIA files.
The documents detail the difficulties the Air Force faced in both attracting and retaining personnel during the OXCART program, the above top secret research project which led to experimental aircraft such as the A-12 OXCART and its successor, the SR-71 Blackbird. That project required the extraordinary talents of the nation’s best aerospace engineers – engineers who weren’t too keen on moving to a remote facility in the middle of the scorching, desolate Nevada desert.
The internal CIA memo describes how the Air Force struggled to keep its best scientists for various reasons, although those who remained at the base did so solely to avoid taking their children out of school or avoid selling their houses during low-demand times:
That memo goes on to describe the Air Force’s attempts to avoid a “mass exodus” of scientists and engineers fed up with the bleak living and working conditions, noting that “personnel problems at Area 51 and throughout the OXCART project continue to be a point of issue”:
To help attract and retain the personnel necessary to keep the OXCART program running, the CIA put together a list of selling points which could be pitched to prospective Area 51 employees. These include descriptions of Las Vegas as “an affluent metropolis” full of “high-priced homes” and “a population as transient as a desert thunderstorm.” Sign me up!
For the Area 51 base itself, the CIA recommended promoting it to USAF staff by advertising free lodging and meals, television, air conditioning, and, I kid you not, “pies and cakes”:
The USAF’s personnel retention campaign must have worked, because the CIA was able to successfully develop the A-12 and SR-71, two of the world’s most advanced spy aircraft. To this day, the SR-71 holds the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft and is likely the cause of many UFO sightings and much misinformation as the USAF and CIA worked to keep their most advanced aircraft in the dark.
Forget seeing them aliens. When we storm Area 51 next month, let’s go for the real prize: America’s unsung heroes, the pies and cakes of Area 51.

UFOs Caught Visiting The Space Station, Close Up, High Detail! Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: May 12, 2019
Location of sighting: Space Station
This is one of the most extraordinary UFOs I have ever seen at the space station. Youtube user Tom Brown caught something on the space station live cam that is mind blowing. Two triangle UFOs move upward and within view of the camera, at that point the UFOs realise that they have been seen and move away, vanishing into the darkness of space. The camera also notices the UFOs and tries to move away from that location. UFOs often move in pairs, I have seen orbs in pairs move like this, but never triangle UFOs and never this close with such amazing detail. And we see each one is a different color, one red larger craft and one smaller grey-brown craft. These are 100% alien craft watching over the space station.
In an interview with Joe Rogan, the Democratic presidential candidate promised to reveal information related to aliens and unidentified flying objects if elected president in 2020.
Sanders, one of the leading 2020 Democrats, told podcast host Joe Rogan on Tuesday that his wife would "demand" he tell people about the mysterious phenomena.
“Well I tell you, my wife would demand I let you know," he told Rogan who asked whether Sanders would disclose that information.
When Rogan asked whether his wife was a UFO nut, he said she wasn't but said she has previously asked him about the information he might have as a senator. “No, she’s not a UFO nut. She goes, Bernie, ‘What is going on do you know? Do you have any access?’"
Warner's spokesperson indicated that the senator sought to probe safety concerns surrounding "unexplained interference" naval pilots faced, according to Politico. The outlet reported more briefings were being requested as news surfaced that the Navy revised its procedures for personnel reporting on unusual aircraft sightings.
As part of a program investigating the issue, Navy personnel reportedly told Pentagon officials that they encountered aircraft that appeared to defy the laws of physics and aerodynamics while in military airspace.
Navy strike group pilots also reported seeing strange objects flying above 30,000 feet at hypersonic speeds with no visible engine or infrared exhaust fumes, according to the New York Times.
President Trump has said that he doesn't believe UFO's exist but is open to the idea. "Well, I don't want to really get into it too much. But personally, I tend to doubt it," he previously told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. "I'm not a believer, but you know, I guess anything is possible."
Mysterious object spotted lurking in background of ISS before NASA 'cuts' live feed
Mysterious object spotted lurking in background of ISS before NASA 'cuts' live feed
NASA cameras captured a UFO hovering near the International Space Station before the live feed was mysteriously cut, conspiracy theorists have claimed.
While experts often dismiss them as space junk, the conspiracy flames are often fuelled further when the live feeds seem to cut almost immediately after the objects appear – leading to bizarre claims NASA is covering up alien life.
Footage of a mystery object lurking in the background of the ISS has now emerged to reignite the conspiracy.
The video shows what appears to be a craft with two legs coming off it hovering near the station
YouTube conspiracist Of Sound Mind and Body said in the clip: “As you can see, there is a massive object lurking in the background.
“The object is completely illuminated by the sun and it is very hard not to notice its bizarre shape.”
The screen then turns blue, leading the theorist to suggest NASA deliberately cut the feed.
“After a few moments of the object being completely in the open for all to see, guess what happens next?” he continues.

“Viewers were then hit by the infamous NASA blue screen – we say ‘infamous’ due to the number of times it happens when a UFO is seen.”
Renowned truth-seeker Streetcap1 originally spotted the object back in 2016, but the frenzy around it has reignited after Of Sound Mind and Body posted it last month.
Prominent alien hunter Scott C Waring also weighed in on the footage on his blog ET Database.
This giant lenticular cloud appeared over the Turrialba Volcano on November 6, 2015.
“[The video] shows an extraordinary UFO with a shape unlike anything I have ever seen before,” he said.
“The object was recorded on live NASA space station cam and has a very strange appearance. It is clear to me that UFOs frequently visit the space station to keep an eye on humanities progress.”
But some viewers dismissed the sight as nothing more than a reflection on the space station’s window.
NASA onderbreekt livestream door UFO in beeld. Wat mogen we niet zien?
NASA onderbreekt livestream door UFO in beeld. Wat mogen we niet zien?
Al jaren zien mensen die naar de livestream van het internationale ruimtestation ISS kijken vreemde objecten boven de aarde.
Volgens experts gaat het in de meeste gevallen om ruimtepuin, maar anderen zijn daar niet zo zeker van. Sommigen beweren dat de NASA probeert te verdoezelen dat we worden bezocht.
Er zijn nu beelden opgedoken van een mysterieus object in de buurt van het ISS, zo schrijft de Britse Daily Star.
Enorm object
Onderstaand filmpje toont een object met twee poten bij het ruimtestation.
“Zoals je kunt zien bevindt zich op de achtergrond een enorm object,” aldus het YouTube-kanaal Of Sound Mind and Body.
“Het object wordt volledig verlicht door de zon en zijn bizarre vorm is bijna niet te missen,” klinkt het.
Vaker
Het scherm kleurt binnen enkele seconden helemaal blauw, wat er volgens het kanaal op wijst dat de NASA de stream doelbewust heeft onderbroken.
Volgens het kanaal gebeurt het vaker dat het beeld blauw wordt op het moment dat er een UFO in de buurt van het ruimtestation komt.
Bernie Sanders belooft dat hij informatie over aliens zal vrijgeven als hij wint. Heeft hij toegang?
Bernie Sanders belooft dat hij informatie over aliens zal vrijgeven als hij wint. Heeft hij toegang?
De Amerikaanse senator Bernie Sanders heeft beloofd dat hij als president informatie over aliens en ongeïdentificeerde objecten zal vrijgeven.
De Democratische presidentskandidaat zei dinsdag in de podcast van Joe Rogan dat zijn vrouw zou ‘eisen’ dat hij de mensen alles vertelt over het mysterieuze fenomeen.
Hij ontkende dat zijn vrouw een UFO-enthousiasteling is, maar zei wel dat ze hem eerder vragen had gesteld over informatie waar hij als senator mogelijk toegang tot had.
Serieus
“Weet jij wat er speelt? Heb jij toegang?” vroeg ze aan hem.
Onlangs werden Amerikaanse congresleden geïnformeerd over UFO’s die worden gespot door marinepiloten.
De Amerikaanse marine neemt dit soort meldingen sinds kort serieus en doet onderzoek naar de waarnemingen.
Alles mogelijk
Piloten lieten functionarissen van het Pentagon weten dat ze vaartuigen in de lucht zagen die de natuurkundige wetten leken te tarten.
Dezelfde piloten zagen op zo’n 10 kilometer hoogte ook vreemde objecten die hypersonische snelheden bereikten en geen motor of uitlaat leken te hebben.
President Trump heeft gezegd dat hij niet in UFO’s gelooft, maar hij voegde daaraan toe dat ‘alles mogelijk is’.
To understand the challenge of capturing data on fast radio bursts, it pays to spend some time on a late summer night watching kids trying to catch fireflies. The bugs blink rapidly and unexpectedly in places whether they’re not looking, and are gone by the time they get to the location … only to see them blink somewhere else. Fast radio bursts – the mysterious radio waves from other galaxies – act in a similar manner, with the added challenge that their blink happened billions of years ago, so tracing the light back to the source – catching the FRB firefly – is impossible without being able to look right at it when it flashes. While it won’t help the firefly chasers (good news for the bugs), artificial intelligence may have allowed a group of astronomers to watch fast radio bursts in real time.
“It is fascinating to discover that a signal that travelled halfway through the universe, reaching our telescope after a journey of a few billion years, exhibits complex structure, like peaks separated by less than a millisecond.”
That explains why Wael Farah, a Swinburne University of Technology (Australia) PhD student, was inspired to develop a Fast Radio Burst detection system, and is the first person to discover FRBs in real-time with a fully automated, machine learning system. But how did he do what no other scientist has done before? With machine learning. As described in a press release from the university announcing the publication of Farah’s study (with others) in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Farah used the on-site computer at the Molonglo Radio Observatory near Canberra to recognize the signs of FRBs and immediately capture them, filtering out the signals of cell phones, earth transmission, pulsars and other radio waves. Is this a big deal?
“By using a real-time FRB detection system, we captured raw voltages for five of the six events, which allowed for coherent dedispersion and very high time resolution (10.24 μs) studies of the bursts.”
The study reveals that Farah’s FRB detection system found five FRBs in real time in the short period between June 2017 and December 2018. To put that in perspective, the first FRB was detected in 2007 and only about 40 have been seen since. Farah found five more in just 18 months, including an FRB described as “the most energetic one yet.”
But wait … there’s more.
The study did not find any repeating bursts, which shows just how difficult they are to find, and estimated that there are about 59 to 157 FRBs occurring every day, which is seven times lower than previous estimates. This is all the more reason to congratulate Farah and his team for developing their detection system.
Now, can he come up with a phone app for detecting fireflies? Asking for a friend.
