As the number of newly discovered exoplanets – planets orbiting distant suns – continues to rise, so do unexpected surprises. Scientists say that giant exoplanet GJ 3512b shouldn’t even exist around its tiny star, but it does.

Scientists have learned a lot in the past few decades about how planets form, but there is still much left to be figured out. Unexpected discoveries can sometimes make that more difficult, but also that much more interesting, of course. Now, another one of those discoveries has been made, an exoplanet 30 light-years away that – according to current theoretical models – shouldn’t exist, but does. An observatory in Spain discovered the planet, called GJ 3512b, and now researchers at the University of Bern in Switzerland are trying to solve the mystery.

The intriguing peer-reviewed results were published in Science on September 27, 2019.

This planet – GJ 3512b – was discovered by a Spanish-German research consortium called CARMENES using a telescope at Calar Alto Observatory in southern Spain. A major goal of CARMENES is to find planets orbiting the smallest stars, using an infrared spectrograph.

The puzzle here is that the planet is too big for its star, GJ 3512, according to the conventional understanding of modern-day astronomers. The star itself is a dwarf star, only about a tenth the mass of our sun. But this tiny star is orbited by a giant planet, half the mass of our solar system’s largest planet Jupiter. That shouldn’t be possible, scientists thought. As Christoph Mordasini, a professor at the University of Bern, explained:

Around such stars there should only be planets the size of the Earth or somewhat more massive super-Earths. GJ 3512b, however, is a giant planet with a mass about half as big as the one of Jupiter, and thus at least one order of magnitude more massive than the planets predicted by theoretical models for such small stars.

Mordasini continued:

Our model of the formation and evolution of planets predicts that around small stars a large number of small planets will be formed. Our model predicts that there should be no giant planets around such stars.

The exoplanet GJ 3512b was discovered by the CARMENES consortium with an instrument installed at the Calar Alto Observatory in southern Spain.

Mordasini is one of the leading experts in the theory of planet formation, and CARMENES reached out to him about their unusual discovery.

So how to explain this?

The current model of planet formation – core accretion – says that planets form “from the bottom up,” starting off small and gradually accreting material to grow larger. But maybe that’s not the case with GJ 3512b. Maybe it formed by gravitational collapse. According to Mordasini:

A part of the gas disk in which the planets are formed collapses directly under its own gravitational force. A top-down process.

But there are problems with that idea, he said:

Why hasn’t the planet continued to grow and migrate closer to the star in this case? You would expect both if the gas disk had enough mass to become unstable under its gravity. The planet GJ 3512b is therefore an important discovery that should improve our understanding of how planets form around such stars.

Giant exoplanets similar to Jupiter or Saturn have been discovered orbiting many stars now and are apparently common, at least in our own galaxy. Understanding how they form – around both larger and smaller stars – will help scientists better understand how planets form overall. The discovery of GJ 3512b shows, again, that we should also expect the unexpected, that the universe is full of surprises. When scientists find something that shouldn’t be able to exist – but does – that is an exciting moment in science.

• Bottom line: Astronomers have discovered a giant exoplanet that current planet formation theory says shouldn’t be able to exist – but it does.

What lies behind ghosts, demons and aliens – according to sleep researchers

If you believe in the paranormal you might not be surprised if you hear stories of deceased loved ones appearing during the night, huge explosions heard just as someone is drifting off with no obvious cause, and other peculiar occurrences. But what if you don’t?

My interest in the paranormal started with an impromptu coffee with a colleague, Chris French, who researches reports of paranormal experiences. He told me stories of countless people who had recounted such events. These experiences tended to start while lying in bed. Then something unusual would happen – perhaps a demon would appear or the environment would seem strange or there would be a sensed presence. The person having this experience might also report being glued to their mattress, tarmacked into the bed, totally unable to move.

It’s unsurprising that people who experience such things might interpret them as paranormal. But certain phenomena such as sleep paralysis provide an alternative to paranormal explanations for such occurrences. Hence my interest in the subject, as a sleep researcher.

Sleep paralysis

When we sleep, we cycle through different stages. We start the night in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep – which gets progressively deeper. We then cycle back until we hit rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. During REM sleep we are most likely to have vivid dreams. At this stage we are also paralysed, perhaps as a safety mechanism to stop us acting out our dreams so that we don’t end up attempting to fly.

But during sleep paralysis, features of REM sleep continue into waking life. Those who experience it will feel awake yet might experience dream-like hallucinations and struggle to move. This experience is pretty common, occurring in around 8% of people (although estimates vary dramatically depending on who we are asking). It’s even possible to induce sleep paralysis in some people, by disrupting their sleep in specific ways.

Certain researchers, French among them, believe that this explains a huge number of paranormal accounts. Information about sleep paralysis is finally seeping into public awareness, but we now need to understand more about this common complaint.

Our preliminary work, which I recount in my new book Nodding Off: The science of sleep from cradle to grave, hints at possible genetic and environmental explanations for why some people are more likely than others to experience sleep paralysis. This now needs to be replicated using much larger samples. Reviewing the literature, we have also highlighted a host of other variables associated with this common experience, including stress, trauma, psychiatric difficulties and physical illnesses.

Exploding head syndrome

Sleep paralysis aside, how else are sleep researchers helping to explain paranormal experiences? People sometimes describe experiencing huge explosions during the night which simply can’t be explained. There is no sign that a shelf has fallen down or a car has backfired. There is no one playing the electric guitar next to their head.

Again, this can be linked to our sleep – this time explained by “exploding head syndrome”, a term coined relatively recently by the neurologist JMS Pearce. When we fall asleep, the reticular formation of the brainstem (a part of our brain involved in consciousness) typically starts to inhibit our ability to move, see and hear things. When we experience a “bang” in our sleep this might be because of a delay in this process. Instead of the reticular formation shutting down the auditory neurons, they might fire at once.

As with sleep paralysis, this phenomenon is also under-researched. For this very reason, in 2017 my colleagues and I joined forces with BBC Focus and Brian Sharpless, a leading expert on this phenomenon, to collect data on this topic.

Imps and ghouls

Finally, what might scientists make of precognitive dreams? We might dream of a friend we haven’t seen for years only to have them call us the very next day. French thinks science can provide an explanation for this too. Referencing work by John Allen Paulos that focuses on probabilities, he explains how such an occurrence may be surprising on any single day, but over time, quite likely to occur.

Researching my book, I spoke to Mrs Sinclair, who is 70, and lives alone. She told me about what she had thought was a ghost living in her house, an imp throttling her during the night and other things that had left her petrified. Having scientific explanations provided her with immense comfort and she no longer believes in paranormal explanations for the things that she experienced.

Our hope is that scientific explanations of paranormal experiences might help others by lowering anxiety. Decreasing anxiety has also been hypothesised as a potential method by which to reduce sleep paralysis. So, perhaps providing more information about these unusual experiences might even mean that things are less likely to go bump in the night.

'Fleet' of strange glowing objects seen off North Carolina coast in baffling clip

Conspiracy theorists claim the footage shows a fleet of 14 UFOs

By Katy Gill Video News Reporter

A "fleet" of bizarre objects has been captured hovering off the coast of North Carolina.

William Guy was travelling on a ferry across the Pimlico Sound when he spotted 14 bizarre objects in the sky.

He immediately started recording and the footage has left the conspiracy world in shock.

The video begins with the sight of the sky, seemingly showing the sun setting.

William pans the camera across the horizon showing nothing in sight.

The lights were spotted in the sky aimlessly floating above the ocean 

(Image: William Guy / YouTube)

"Look, nothing in the sky, at all," he said.

As he cuts across the sky the lit up cluster is seen floating aimlessly.

"Can anybody tell me what that is?" William asks.

He adds: "We're in the middle of the ocean, on a ferry.

"There's nothing around, no land, no nothing."

After posting it to YouTube only days ago, William told viewers the lights disappeared from sight before coming back some two minutes later.

Several well-known conspiracy YouTube channels have re-posted the footage, including mavi 777 who labelled the objects a "UFO fleet".

Fellow conspiracy site UFOMania also saw the video and wrote: "Fleet of mysterious lights appear above the sea."

Other views chimed in with their thoughts, with one saying: "The outer orbit of the Earth is swarming with alien advanced craft.

"Earth is under heavy observation."

But another had a perhaps more logical explanation, saying: "It's not a UFO, they're training targets for military aircraft."

The Cassini–Huygens space-research mission launched aboard a Titan IVB/Centaur on October 15, 1997.

It was active in space for nearly 20 years, with 13 years spent orbiting Saturn and studying the planet and its system after entering orbit on July 1, 2004. The voyage to Saturn included flybys of Venus (April 1998 and July 1999), Earth (August 1999), the asteroid 2685 Masursky, and Jupiter (December 2000). The mission ended on September 15, 2017, when Cassini's trajectory took it into Saturn's upper atmosphere and it burned up.

After studying a great portion of its photographs Galactic Hurricane noticed strange anomalies that he couldn't really defy according to our laws of physics.

Strange spheres seemed to literally stretch within the rings of Saturn. Some did follow the spacecraft and seemed to signal to the Cassini craft. Did we make contact with some kind of lifeform that has yet to be named?

But the strangest thing happened that on September 25, 2019 when Mauricio Lopez filmed exactly the same object above New York what Galactic Hurricane saw on the Cassini's pictures.

That to me made it clear that something from Saturn could be around or maybe within our Earth's atmosphere?

Former CIA Agent and Alien Hunter Derrel Sims talks about his lifelong quest for the truth with the alien presence on Earth and their nefarious agendas!

He hunts these extraterrestrials and collects evidence, data, witness testimonies and fights to expose the true intentions behind these sinister beings with their human experiments.

Derrel explains how these aliens are “Made, Hatched, Cloned, and Manufactured” by some rogue element within our government.

He states that the aliens don’t have a planet, their “DNA comes from here”. Then he explained how all aliens are genetically modified. He goes on to connect the dots with the extraterrestrial presence of today with that of the ancient past.

He also gave his take with Zecharia Sitchin, the Anunnaki, Fallen Angels, and the Sumerian Civilization.

A few talking points in the interview:

His time with the CIA
His first Encounter with Aliens
Why he hunts Aliens
Transgenics Chimeras and the tampering of DNA
Alien Hybrids
Different types of alien races
Cloned and Manufactured Aliens Greys
Reptilians, Nordics, 7 Foot Preying Mantis beings
Alien Abductions
Alien Experiments on the Human Race
His research and evidence with Alien Abductions
The agenda behind Alien Abductions
The Alien Agenda

Although the statements made by Derrel Sims are very controversial, there is some truth in his explanations that correspond to the statements made by the late Phill Schneider.

Phill Schneider once said that at the Dulce underground secret Base under Mt. Archuleta, Dulce, New Mexico not only "gray" humanoid extraterrestrials worked side by side with American technicians but also humans and aliens work together on horrific bio genetic experiments, human alien hybrid breeding programs, atomic manipulation, cloning, studies of the human aura, advanced mind control applications, animal/human crossbreeding, visual and audio human chip implantation and abduction (See our article: The largest reptilian and grey base in America).

According to Schneider, the Secret Government cloned humans by a process perfected in the world's largest and most advanced biogenetic research facility in Los Alamos too.

NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter has now successfully executed a 10.5-hour propulsive maneuver. It’ll keep Juno – a solar-powered spacecraft – out of a mission-ending shadow due to have been cast by Jupiter onto the craft in November.

View larger. | In this animated gif, you’re riding on the Juno spacecraft – now in orbit around Jupiter – as it approaches Jupiter. An orbit adjustment this week has ensured the solar-powered spacecraft won’t end its mission in Jupiter’s shadow on November 3. Here, you can see Jupiter’s rings and auroras. The distant sun is depicted as the yellow dot rising up just to the left of the planet.

Image via NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI.

Since its launch in 2011, the Juno mission to Jupiter has been the little spacecraft that could, thanks to the persistence of its controllers. The craft – first to orbit Jupiter since the Galileo mission (1995-2003) – traveled nearly 2 billion miles to Jupiter and entered a highly elliptical, 53-day polar orbit around the planet on July 5, 2016. The craft was expected to enter a 14-day science orbit a few months later, but a suspected problem in Juno’s main engine nixed that idea. So Juno has remained in its 53-day orbit. It flies out a million miles from the giant planet on each circuit, then sweeps in to within 3,000 miles (5,000 km) from Jupiter’s cloudtops, all the while doing science and advancing our knowledge about our solar system’s largest planet. Then, more recently, space engineers realized that – during the solar-powered spacecraft’s next close flyby of the planet on November 3, 2019 – Juno would be flying through Jupiter’s shadow for some 12 hours. That would have been long enough to drain the spacecraft’s batteries and end the mission! But now a successful propulsive maneuver has saved the day. Its controllers confirm it will now stay out of the shadow … and survive to continue doing science.

Space engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, began executing the maneuver on September 30, 2019, at 7:46 p.m. EDT (23:46 UTC) and completed it early on October 1. In all, the maneuver lasted 10.5 hours, an extraordinarily long time by Juno mission standards. NASA said in a statement:

Using the spacecraft’s reaction-control thrusters, the propulsive maneuver lasted five times longer than any previous use of that system. It changed Juno’s orbital velocity by 126 mph (203 kph) and consumed about 160 pounds (73 kilograms) of fuel. Without this maneuver, Juno would have spent 12 hours in transit across Jupiter’s shadow – more than enough time to drain the spacecraft’s batteries. Without power, and with spacecraft temperatures plummeting, Juno would likely succumb to the cold and be unable to awaken upon exit.

The lunar calendars are here! Get your 2020 lunar calendars today. They make great gifts. Going fast.

Speaking of shadows, here’s the shadow of Jupiter’s moon Io, falling on Jupiter’s cloudtops, as captured by the Juno spacecraft on September 11, 2019. Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill created this enhanced-color image using data from the spacecraft’s JunoCam imager. Read more about this image.

Image via Juno Image Gallery.

Scott Bolton of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio is Juno’s principal investigator. He said:

With the success of this burn, we are on track to jump the shadow on November 3.

Jumping over the shadow was an amazingly creative solution to what seemed like a fatal geometry. Eclipses are generally not friends of solar-powered spacecraft. Now instead of worrying about freezing to death, I am looking forward to the next science discovery that Jupiter has in store for Juno.

Ed Hirst, Juno project manager at JPL, said:

Pre-launch mission planning did not anticipate a lengthy eclipse that would plunge our solar-powered spacecraft into darkness. That we could plan and execute the necessary maneuver while operating in Jupiter’s orbit is a testament to the ingenuity and skill of our team, along with the extraordinary capability and versatility of our spacecraft.

Thus – despite its initial difficulties and this most recent potential heart-stopper – Juno will survive to continue its mission and its contributions to science.

JunoCam’s raw images are available for the public to peruse and process into image products

Not your typical view of Jupiter, is it? Juno took the 4 images used to produce this color-enhanced view on May 29, 2019, as the spacecraft performed its 20th science pass of Jupiter. At the time the images were taken, the spacecraft was between 11,600 miles (18,600 kilometers) and 5,400 miles (8,600 kilometers) above Jupiter’s cloud tops, above a northern latitude spanning from about 59 to 34 degrees.Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill created this image using data from the spacecraft’s JunoCam imager. Read more about this image.

• Bottom line: On September 30 to October 1, 2019, NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter successfully executed a 10.5-hour propulsive maneuver designed to enable the spacecraft to avoid Jupiter’s shadow on November 3. Without the maneuver, the craft would have spent some 12 hours in the shadow, draining its solar-powered batteries and perhaps ending its mission.

Five Ancient Petroglyphs and Cave Paintings that depict ‘Ancient Aliens’

Thousands of years ago, ancient people around the globe created a number of petroglyphs and cave paintings. Why ancient man depicted strange beings with 5 or 6 fingers, helmets, sandals, and what appear to be space suits is a mystery no one has been able to answer.

Millions of people around the world firmly believe we have been visited by extraterrestrial beings for millennia.

But if such highly advanced beings visited us in the distant past… how did ancient cultures react 2000-3000 years ago? Did ancient man freak out when ‘highly advanced’ spaceships landed on our planet? Or did ancient cultures glorify the visitors, referring to them as gods? Strangely, many ancient civilizations like the Ancient Chinese, Maya, Aztec and Inca, speak of visitors that came from the heavens bringing great knowledge to mankind.

But even before ancient civilizations recorded their legends and spoke of gods that came down to Earth, people were recording what today is interpreted as ‘alien visitations’.

If we take a look at cave art and petroglyphs around the globe, we will notice that in all corners of the planet, ancient man drew on rock all sorts of important events, and in nearly all petroglyphs found to date, there are representations of mysterious and strange beings that do not resemble human beings.

However, what is even more fascinating is that even though these petroglyphs are found scattered across the entire planet, the depictions of the mysterious creatures are eerily similar. This has lead many  to believe that ancient mankind that carved and painted the mystery beings must have seen them at one point in history.

Let us go ahead and take a look at some of the most amazing depictions of ancient aliens discovered to date!

1. The Wandjina cave paintings

The Wandjina cave paintings are one of our favorite cave paintings discovered to date. There are a number of interesting details about the cave art found in Kimberley, Australia, in 1838. First of all the age of the cave paintings has become a subject of debate among numerous researchers. Some even suggest that the mystery art called the Wandjina could be well over 100,000 years old (yes you read right).

Among the numerous pieces of ‘ancient Picasso art’ ancient people depicted beings that measure up to six meters in height.

Locals refer to the mystery beings as the “wandjinas”. These mysterious beings are said to have brought civilization and prosperity to the people, and like many other ancient cultures around the globe indicate, the enigmatic “wandjinas” also came from the sky. Even more impressive is the fact that numerous ancient cultures around the globe have in their destroy a serpent or dragon. Strangely, the “wandjina’s” symbol was a feathered serpent. Quetzalcoatl anyone?

But even more fascinating are other depiction of the Wandjina, who are depicted as strange humanoid figures without mouths, with huge black eyes and pale white faces that are surrounded by strange halos.  These mysterious paintings have received all kinds of interpretation: strange representation of human beings, gigantic owls, down to the theory of Ancient Astronauts, as beings who visited Earth in the distant past.

2. 10,000-year-old cave paintings in India depict ancient aliens

Another fascinating discovery of what could be interpreted as ancient aliens can be found in India where researchers discovered a number of strange pieces of ancient art resembling what many have interpreted as otherworldly beings and disc-shaped objects.

According to Indian experts, it’s as if people, 10.000 years ago made these paintings while looking at science fiction movies.

The set of curious ancient art is located inside caves located near the town of Charama in the Kanker district.

One archaeologist from India firmly believes that this art clearly reflects that 10,000 years ago, people knew we were not alone in the universe.

Archaeologist JR Bhagat made some very interesting comments while speaking about the enigmatic cave art: „The paintings are done in natural colors that have hardly faded despite the years. The strangely carved figures are seen holding weapon-like objects and do not have clear features. Especially, the nose and mouth are missing. In few pictures, they are even shown wearing space suits.“

3. Tassili n’Ajjer: Proof of Ancient Astronauts?

It seems that there is plenty of evidence of ancient alien visitations.

In addition to the above-mentioned cave paintings, ancient art found in Tassili n’Ajjer seems to illustrate mysterious creatures with helmets gloves and strange suits.

Today, experts have managed to catalogue around 5,000 cave paintings in the region. Regrettably, around 20% of them remain visible today, since most of them were destroyed by erosion.

The age of the cave art is believed to be around 10,000 to 15,000 years old. Among the sheer number of rock art found, ancient man drew giraffes, ostriches, elephants, oxen, alligators and even hippos; demonstrating that the Sahara region was full of life in the distant past. However, the most incredible feature are the mysterious depictions of strange beings with helmets and suits, which according to a number of researchers resemble modern-day astronauts.

Why would the ancient inhabitants of Tassili n’Ajjer depict the humanoid figures with helmet-like objects and spacesuits unless they did not seem them? Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that the natives of the Tassili Caves depicted the ancient astronaut that visited them in the past 10,000 years ago? According to many researchers, it is a possibility.

4. The Toro Muerto Petroglyphs

Another set of intriguing pieces of ancient art depicting strange beings can be found in Peru at the mysterious Petroglyphs of Toro Muerto, which according to many depict strange humanoid figures that do not resemble human beings.

The petroglyphs cover an area of several kilometers in length. Toro Muerto, which translated, means Dead Bull was named because of the herds of livestock that commonly died because of dehydration in the area.

Among the countless carvings at Toro Muerto, there are interesting depictions of what appear to be, shepherds, hunters, and semi-realistic figures, zoomorphic figures like jaguars, condors, camels, and fish. The ancients also depicted sunflowers and trees without branches, geometric symbols, zig-zags, square, diamond shapes and some inscriptions, intaglios, and bizarre writings all over an area of approximately four kilometers.

The most intriguing depictions at Toro Muerto are those of beings that do not share much resemblance to normal human beings. Even more fascinating is the fact that some of the petroglyphs of Toro Muerto bear a freakish resemblance to petroglyphs found in Australia where ancient man also depicted mysterious beings with ‘halos’ around their heads. The beings depicted at Toro Muerto were carved with a number of strange characteristics, like antennas on top of their heads.

5. The Petroglyphs at Karahunj, Armenia’s Stonehenge

This ancient site located in modern-day Armenia is fascinating for a number of reasons. First of all, many researchers claim that the site itself predates both Stonehenge in England and the Pyramids of Giza.

This ancient complex occupies over 7 hectares and offers its visitors a number of strange carvings created by early civilizations that inhabited the region thousands of years ago.

Among the numerous carvings, ancient man depicted what appeared to be strange beings with elongated heads and almond-shaped eyes, eerily similar to ‘modern-day’ representations of Grey Aliens.

Maar Green vreest dat de mensheid de aankondiging van leven op Mars niet zal aankunnen. “Het zal revolutionair zijn”, vertelt hij aan de Britse krant The Telegraph over een nakende aankondiging van NASA over aliens. “Het zal zijn zoals met de woorden van Copernicus: ‘Nee, wij draaien rond de zon’. Revolutionair. Het zal het begin zijn van een hele nieuwe manier van denken. Ik denk niet dat we voorbereid zijn op de bevindingen. Nee, dat zijn we niet.”

NASA spot wereldberoemd logo van Star Trek op Mars

Volgend jaar in juli stuurt NASA een nieuwe robot naar de Rode Planeet om er diepere boringen dan ooit in de bodem uit te voeren, op zoek naar sporen van levende organismen. De ‘Mars 2020’-rover zal in februari 2021 landen bij de Jezero-krater. Wetenschappers gaan ervan uit dat de oppervlakte van Mars radioactief is en dat eventueel leven daarom waarschijnlijk ondergronds moet worden gezocht. “Het principe is: waar water is, is leven”, zegt Green. Ook op onze planeet Aarde vonden onderzoekers meer leven diep in de aardkorst dan erboven.

De Europese Ruimtevaartorganisatie zet in 2021 de robot ExoMars in, die ook naar aliens zal speuren met boringen in de Marsbodem. De twee missies zijn de beste kans ooit voor de mensheid om buitenaards leven te vinden. Jim Green verwacht dat minstens een van beide Marsrovers succesvol zal zijn in hun zoektocht naar bewijs van water en dat de ontdekking van leven op een andere planeet zich al binnen enkele jaren zal aandienen.

Maar dat zal verregaande gevolgen hebben, waar de Aarde niet klaar voor is, vreest hij. “Een hele nieuwe reeks wetenschappelijke vragen zullen zich opdringen”, aldus Green. “Is dat leven zoals het onze? Hoe zijn we met elkaar verbonden? Kan dat leven van de ene planeet naar de andere gaan?”

A Building-Sized Asteroid Will Fly Closer To Earth Than The Moon Today

Sized-asteroid-will-fly-closer-to-earth-than-the-moon-today/

There are a lot of space rocks out there and we know very little about them. Most of them remain completely unknown to us, others get discovered only when they get too close to our planet. This is the case of asteroid 2019 SP3 which is flying over our heads today, October 3.

The celestial body is roughly the size of a building, between 15 and 33 meters (49 to 108 feet) in diameter. SP3’s orbit is taking it slightly closer than the Moon is to Earth, roughly 370,000 kilometers (230,000 miles) from the planet surface, according to NASA’s data.

While this is certainly a “close approach” in cosmic terms, there’s nothing to worry about. The rock will continue in its orbit around the Sun undisturbed. It moves with a speed of 8.53 kilometers (5.3 miles) per second and does a full orbit in 1,416 days, almost four years.

While this object specifically poses no threat to us, it is a reminder of the potential risk we face from the heavens. The asteroid was only discovered on September 22. Other asteroids have discovered just hours before they flew by, and others have just hit us.

To get an idea of what would happen if 2019 SP3 were to hit our planet we can look to the Chelyabinsk event that occurred in 2013 when a meteor roughly the same size exploded over the Russian town. The asteroid burned up in the atmosphere creating a bright flash of light and releasing enough energy that a sonic boom shattered windows for 518 square kilometers (200 square miles), with over 7,200 damaged buildings and a collapsed factory roof. Over 1,600 non-direct injuries occurred, mainly due to flying glass.

Orbit of the planets and 2019 SP3. Position are exactly one year from now, for clarity.

NASA

There are roughly 20,000 known near-Earth Asteroids divided into four families depending on their orbital parameters. About 10 percent of these are considered Potentially Hazardous Asteroids, or PHAs. Space agencies such as NASA and ESA are keeping an eye on the all and observatories and amateurs worldwide often serendipitously spot new ones.

The agencies also run “Asteroid Impact Simulation” exercises to plan and prepare for an asteroid impact. They win some, and lose some. The last one held earlier this year saw New York accidentally destroyed to save its projected target of Denver, highlighting the challenges we are likely to witness both before, during, and after the event if such a threat was discovered.

Two scientists, Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki, working off the coast of Cuba and using a robot submersible, have confirmed that a gigantic city exists at the bottom of the ocean.

The site of the ancient city — that includes several sphinxes and at least four giant pyramids plus other structures — amazingly sits within the boundries of the fabled Bermuda Triangle.

According to a report by Arclein of Terra Forming Terra, Cuban Subsea Pyramid Complex, the evidence points to the city being simultaneously inundated with rising waters and the land sinking into the sea. This correlates exactly with the Atlantis legend.

The disaster may have occurred at the end of the last Ice Age. As the Arctic icecap catastrophically melted it caused sea levels to rise quickly around the world, especially affecting the Northern Hemisphere. Coast lines changed; land was lost; islands (even island continents) disappeared.

At the end of last Ice Age sea levels were nearly 400 feet lower than present day levels. Once the waters began to rise, they rose swiftly. Conceivably, no technology then, or now, could have saved Atlantis from its watery grave. The evidence that land in what’s now the Caribbean also sank into the sea concurrently seems pretty certain.

Arclein observes:

“At the time uplifted portions of the Mid Atlantic Ridge subsided also including Lyonese and the home islands and land mass around the Azores. Even if that had not happened, this subsidence was amply large enough.

“This would have produced an orthogonal pressure forcing subsidence to either East or West. Since the ridge between Cuba and Yucatan is the natural point of weakness between the Gulf subsidence basin and the Caribbean subsidence basin, it naturally subsided deeply. The driver for all this was the hydrostatic changes brought about by both the original crustal shift of 12,900 years ago that I have called the Pleistocene Nonconformity and the slow uplift of the Hudson Bay Basin brought about by the ending of the Ice Age.”

Cuban missile crisis stops research

According to journalist Luis Mariano Fernandez, the city was first discovered decades ago, but all access to it was stopped during and after the Cuban Missile Crisis.

“The U.S. government discovered the alleged place during the Cuban missile crisis in the sixties, Nuclear submarines cruising in the Gulf (in deep sea) met pyramid structures. They immediately shut down the site and took control of him and the objects, in order that it will not come to Russians hands.”

The science team of deep ocean experts, archaeologists and oceanographers found ruins of ancient buildings 600 feet below the ocean. They say the city is Atlantis.

Evidence that the island of Cuba is the vestige of a once mighty culture is supported by Zalitzki’s discovery on the island of extremely ancient symbols and pictograms identical to those seen on the underwater structures.Pyramids and sphinxes bigger than Egypt’s
Incredibly the ancient city also has magnificent sphinxes and “stones that arranged like Stonehenge, and a written language engraved on the stones,” reports Fernandez.Using exploration submersibles, they discovered amazingly huge pyramid structures similar to (but larger than) the pyramids in Giza, Egypt. They estimate the Atlantis pyramids are constructed with stones weighing many hundreds of tons.!

Fernandez writes, “It has confirmed that the stones were cut, carved and polished to make them fit together and thus form larger structures. On the strange inscriptions, some of them similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics, very little is known, except that they are very abundant and found in almost all parts of the field. They have also appeared symbols and drawings whose meaning is unknown.”

The exploration of Atlantis, called Project Exploramar, is expanding to discover more of the mysteries of the mega-city.

Speaking with a scientist about the possibility that the ruins are indeed Atlantis, Fernandez reports the expert replied:

“…in the Yucatan cultures today is possible that what still remains of the aborigines of those places perhaps the Olmecs or some very primitive civilization of Yucatan, the northern part of Central America—originated according to them on an island that sank by a cataclysm. This island is called Atlanticú.”

That too fits the stories about the sudden demise of the wondrous Atlantis. Atlanticú is, of course, Atlantis. The aboriginal natives still call it that in their history.

“When we published the first news of this finding,” she said, “the University of Veracruz was interested in our work and we had recorded images of these structures on the seabed. Specifically, the Institute of Anthropology of the University excavations invited me. They were doing [studies] on parts and ruins of the Olmec civilization.During an interview about the exploration of the mega-city, Fernandez asked lead scientist Pauline Zalitzki about the civilization that built it.

“When they saw these submarine images [they] found similarities and parallels with the ruins found in these excavations that the Institute was undertaking.

“The Olmecs and other native peoples all have primary morphology marking the arrival of this continent. This mean coming from the direction of Cuba, and had to occur in a very large earthquake where their land sank.

Morphologies indicate that they belong to three families who were saved. One of these families came to the coast of Veracruz, which are supposedly the Olmec. Others came to Central America and traveled to the Pacific coast, and these families created the civilization of the Americas as we know it today, because they distributed all their knowledge.

When these anthropologists saw underwater images of this city, and saw some stone monoliths, some symbol, and inscriptions, they identified with Olmec motifs. They were very surprised.”

The Olmecs devolved from the survivor of Atlantis, a much superior culture destroyed aft the end of the Ice Age flooding. The world was reshaped and a super-civilization destroyed, remembered for millennia only in legend and a passing refernce by the philosopher Plato.

But Atlantis was real, is real: scientists Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki have found it.

The above work of art was once part of the old Maya city of Tikal, in Guatemala. It probably illustrates the demise of Atlantis. Since this does not fit the prevailing picture, a German archaeologist took it to Germany, where it was “accidentally” destroyed in the Second World War —

On October 3, 2019, sky-watcher BruceSeesall while using his telescope he captured a series of unidentified bright spherical objects moving across the surface of the moon.

The Italian Astronomer Alberto Mayer discovered on April 29th 2007 a dark moving object on the moon by using his telescope. The object is moving over moon`s surface and changes the direction after a while!.

Below the live view of these anomalies that BruceSeesall believes could be constructed. The second live video shows the dark object captured by astronomer Alberto Mayer.

Despite space agencies deny that there is any form of activity on the moon's surface or underground both videos prove the opposite, there is indeed alien activity on the moon.

U.S. Organization of Alien Hunters Claims to Have Obtained Exotic Material on UFOs

An American organization of extraterrestrial hunters, led by Tom DeLonge, claims to have discovered exotic material that’s proof of UFOs. The former Blink-182 singer and guitarist co-founded the group To the Stars Academy of Arts & Science Inc. together with a former Defense Department official Christopher Mellon in 2017 to research space aliens.

Earlier in September, the U.S. Navy confirmed three gun-camera videos of F-18 released by the group in December 2017 showed unidentified aerial phenomena, a term the government prefer to use over UFOs.

Now, former Pentagon intelligence official Luis Elizondo, who is the group’s director of global security and special programs, brought another teaser in connection to the subject.

Elizondo revealed that they had found exotic material samples from UFOs. However, he refused to go into specifics at this point.

He explained that they have to allow the process to take its course and they don’t want to be presumptive either way. He said that they do not want to jump to any conclusions prematurely. He pointed out that the data is going to decide what something is not and what something is.

However, Elizondo also acknowledged that the material might come from a variety of sources. He added that their organization was seeking to conduct scientific analysis, such as molecular, chemical, and nuclear, with the most qualified and most respectable individuals and institutions.

Noted Astrophysicist Says The Evidence on UFOs Is Overwhelming

This is another exciting interview we wanted to share with UFO enthusiasts who may have missed it. It talks about those three videos of UFOs captured by the military. As you may have read already, the Navy has finally confirmed that the videos are real and considered the objects in question “unidentified.”

Since that time, renowned astrophysicist Michio Kaku has been discussing the subject on several occasions, including during a conference in Spain, which caught the attention of the mainstream media. He’s since been doing various interviews where he provides more details on the subject. Recently, he was on Fox News with Tucker Carlson. He revealed that he had seen enough evidence at this point to draw some scientific conclusions.

Before you get into the video, we just wanted to highlight some points from this interview. First of all, Michio previously said that the onus was now on the government to prove that these UFOs were not extraterrestrial origin. However, Michio declared on the interview this weekend the videos to be “a gamechanger.” He explained that reviews of the videos and reports of the pilots had provided some complicated, testable science to work, including velocities and acceleration rates. Michio called the evidence “overwhelming.”

Having said all of that, however, Professor Michio appears to step back just a bit when Tucker throws him with the hard question twice. Tucker asks Michio if humans could have been built the craft based on what we know of physics. The first time, Michio responds by discussing millions of planets orbiting other stars and the interesting possibility that someone up there might be monitoring us.

The second time, he comes somewhat closer, but still won’t call it impossible that these machines are human-made. Michio said that he was still waiting for explanations from someone how humans can create a craft with no visible means of propulsion but can hover in place over the ocean and take off at Mach 5.

YouTube Video Shows UFO Hovering Over Earth

A mysterious object was observed on live footage of NASA from the International Space Station (ISS), prompting speculations that the triangular UFO may be a real American Space Force ship.

YouTube user MrMBB333 shared a bizarre video showing the UFO apparently flying in the ISS vicinity.

According to the user, this isn’t a reflection but an actual sizeable triangular object that reflects light itself.

They claimed that the UFO sped up prior to vanishing in the live feed. When the user zooms in the clip and brings it in slow motion, the light seems reflecting off it and appears glistening.

The exciting video instantly attracted the attention of UFO enthusiasts and other conspiracy theorists who have suggested the clip could reveal proof of the existence of the US Space Force.

US President Donald Trump proposed in August the establishment of US Space Command (SPACECOM), stressing that US military assets must get the freedom in space operation to detect and destroy missiles launched against the nation.

Professional astronomers and citizen scientists have been combing through a region of our galaxy where cosmic bubbles are being inflated by wind and radiation from young, massive stars. Hundreds to thousands of stars may emerge from each bubble, in time.

Yellow circles and ovals outline star-forming bubbles in this infrared image from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. This region – in the direction of our constellation Aquila the Eagle – is full of these bubbles, which are being blown by young stars. The bubbles are estimated to be 10 to 30 light-years across.

Image via the Spitzer mission.

Multiple bubbles and bow shocks from young stars seen in this new infrared image from the Spitzer Space Telescope were recently identified as part of The Milky Way Project, a citizen science initiative on Zooniverse.org. The project enabled citizen scientists to look through images from Spitzer’s public data archive and identify as many of these sorts of cosmic bubbles as they could. More than 78,000 unique user accounts contributed, which enabled astronomers to publish a catalog of the bubble candidates that multiple citizen scientists had identified. The full Milky Way Project catalogs, which list a total of 2,600 bubbles and 599 bow shocks, are described in a paper published recently in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. This new infrared image from the Spitzer Space Telescope was made possible by this work; it enabled astronomers to know where to look. The image shows a cloud of gas and dust full of bubbles, which are inflated by wind and radiation from young, massive stars. Each bubble is filled with hundreds to thousands of stars, which form from dense clouds of gas and dust.

NASA said in a statement on September 30, 2019:

The bubbles are estimated to be 10 to 30 light-years across, based on what astronomers know about them and other cosmic bubbles. However, determining the exact sizes of individual bubbles can be difficult, because their distance from Earth is challenging to measure and objects appear smaller the farther away they are.

Flows of particles emitted by the stars, called stellar winds, as well as the pressure of the light the stars produce, can push the surrounding material outward, sometimes creating a distinct perimeter.

In an accompanying annotated image, yellow circles and ovals outline more than 30 bubbles.

This active region of star formation is located within the Milky Way galaxy, in the constellation Aquila (also known as the Eagle). Black veins running throughout the cloud are regions of especially dense cold dust and gas where even more new stars are likely to form.

Spitzer sees infrared light, which isn’t visible to the human eye. Many interstellar nebulas (clouds of gas and dust in space) like this one are best observed in infrared light because infrared wavelengths can pass through intervening layers of dust in the Milky Way galaxy. Visible light, however, tends to be blocked more by dust.

The colors in this image represent different wavelengths of infrared light. Blue represents a wavelength of light primarily emitted by stars; dust and organic molecules called hydrocarbons appear green, and warm dust that’s been heated by stars appears red.

Also visible are four bow shocks – red arcs of warm dust formed as winds from fast-moving stars push aside dust grains scattered sparsely through most of the nebula. The locations of the bow shocks are indicated by squares in the annotated image and shown close up in the accompanying detail images.

• Bottom line: Citizen scientists identified a total of 2,600 bubbles and 599 bow shocks from young, hot stars. A new NASA Spitzer Space Telescope image shows one of these regions.

Aliens Using Nearby Asteroids To Spy On Earth, Scientist Warns

By Inigo Monz

An American physicist claimed through a new study that aliens might be using asteroids that fly near Earth to spy on the planet. The scientist then called for new missions to visit the near-Earth objects (NEO) to find the alien observers.

In a new study published in The Astronomical Journal, physicist James Benford theorized that extraterrestrial beings might be using space probes or “lurkers” to study civilizations on other planets, such as Earth.

He noted that these probes may have been following the progression of Earth’s technology for decades or even centuries.

“A probe located nearby could bide its time while our civilization developed technology that could find it, and, once contacted, could undertake a conversation in real time,” Benford wrote in his paper.

“Meanwhile, it could have been routinely reporting back on our biosphere and civilization for long years,” he added.

According to Benford, one possible way aliens could spy on Earth without being detected is by using the NEOs, or the asteroids that fly close to Earth on a regular basis. These asteroids visit Earth’s neighborhood so frequently that the planet gets at least one flyby from a NEO every day.

As Benford explained, these kinds of asteroids serve as the ideal platforms for alien space probes.

“A recently discovered group of nearby co-orbital objects is an attractive location for extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) to locate a probe to observe Earth while not being easily seen,” Benford wrote.

“These near-Earth objects provide an ideal way to watch our world from a secure natural object,” he added. “That provides resources an ET might need: materials, a firm anchor and concealment.”

Due to the possible presence of alien probes on asteroids, Benford called on space agencies as well as alien-focused organizations to take on a more proactive approach in finding extraterrestrial life. The physicist suggested using a combination of satellite data and asteroid missions to check on the alleged probes aboard the NEOs.

“We should move forthrightly toward observing them, both by observing them in the electromagnetic spectrum and planetary radar, as well as visiting them with probes,” he said.

How the apocalypse will happen: Earth will be swallowed by neighbouring galaxy as it envelops the Milky Way in four billion years' time (IF we make it that far)

• Scientists say the Andromeda galaxy has been eating others for billions of years
• Our own Milky Way galaxy is on a collision course and could be destroyed
• Images show the remnants of other galaxies inside the Andromeda nebula 

By SAM BLANCHARD FOR MAILONLINE

The Milky Way will one day be cannibalised by the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy, which has been gobbling up smaller star systems for billions of years.

Scientists have mapped the Andromeda, which is twice the size of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and found remnants of other galaxies floating inside it.

This means it has already gobbled up smaller galaxies over the last ten billion years, scientists have found after the theory that it would eventually devour the Earth was first devised 15 years ago.

They predict it will be four billion years before the Earth and surrounding planets are consumed by their giant neighbour.

The result of the collision could be catastrophic and destroy planets and stars in both galaxies if they smash together or get too close to one another.

However, there is some skepticism surrounding this disastrous event as it is unlikely to occur as stars in galaxies are spaced sufficiently sparsely that direct collisions between stars are rare. 

Research by the Australian National University revealed traces of other cannibalised galaxies inside the Andromeda galaxy, which scientists say has been absorbing other stars and planet systems for billions of years

'The Milky Way is on a collision course with Andromeda in about four billion years,' said Dr Dougal Mackey, from the Australian National University.

'So knowing what kind of a monster our galaxy is up against is useful in finding out the Milky Way's ultimate fate.

'Andromeda has a much bigger and more complex stellar halo than the Milky Way, which indicates that it has cannibalised many more galaxies, possibly larger ones.'

However, Mackey told CNN that this event is unlikely to wreck havoc on our world.

'I think it's unlikely the Earth will be physically destroyed by the collision with Andromeda,' Mackey told CNN. 

'It's not out of the question, but in general the stars in galaxies are spaced sufficiently sparsely that direct collisions between stars are rare.

' However, it's possible that the Sun could be thrown out of the merged Andromeda and Milky Way system by the collision, into intergalactic space, and/or a nearby close passage with another star could perturb the Earth's orbit such that the Earth can no longer support life.' 

The Andromeda galaxy is about 10billion years old and has grown larger over that time by absorbing other, smaller, collections of stars and planets.

Our own galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years across.

And although the Andromeda had long been thought to be far larger – around 220,000 light years – research last year suggested the Andromeda may actually be a similar size.

Even if Earth doesn't smash into anything when the galaxies collide, it is predicted to be flung out of position and out of reach of the Sun's vital warmth, spelling disaster.

The Milky Way will inevitably collide with Andromeda galaxy in about four billion years' time, which will devastate the Earth

But Dr Mackey and his colleagues' research reveals the Andromeda, some 2.5million light years away from us, is no stranger to gobbling up other galaxies.

A galaxy named Triangulum has been found alongside stellar streams – the remains of smaller galaxies or star clusters – within the Andromeda nebula.

Tracing how these collections of stars and planets were absorbed into the Andromeda has given an insight into how the galaxies have merged together.

One confusing element, the team found, was that they appeared to have collided from different directions.

'This is very weird and suggests that the extragalactic meals are fed from what's known as the 'cosmic web' of matter that threads the universe,' said Professor Lewis from the University of Sydney.

'More surprising is the discovery that the direction of the ancient feeding is the same as the bizarre 'plane of satellites', an unexpected alignment of dwarf galaxies orbiting Andromeda.

'This deepens the mystery as the plane must be young, but it appears to be aligned with ancient feeding of dwarf galaxies.

'We're going to have to think quite hard to unravel what this is telling us.'

The research was published in the journal Nature. 

HOW OLD IS THE OLDEST STAR IN THE MILKY WAY?

Scientists in Spain have discovered one of the oldest stars in the Milky Way

A newly discovered star is thought to be one of the oldest in the Milky Way.

Scientists at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in Spain believe that it might have formed about 300 million years after the 'Big Bang'.

IAC researcher Jonay González Hernández said: 'Theory predicts that these stars could form just after, and using material from, the first supernovae, whose progenitors were the first massive stars in the Galaxy.'

Researchers hope the star, known as J0815+4729, which is in line with the Lynx constellation, will help them learn more about the Big Bang, the popular theory about the galaxy's evolution.

IAC director Rafael Rebolo said: 'Detecting lithium gives us crucial information related to Big Bang nucleosynthesis. We are working on a spectrograph of high resolution and wide spectral range in order to be able to measure (among other things) the detailed chemical composition of stars with unique properties such as J0815+4729.'
