Why Everybody Is Mistaken Regarding Ufo Sightings and Why You Should Read This Article Right Now
Why Everybody Is Mistaken Regarding Ufo Sightings and Why You Should Read This Article Right Now
Usually once you speak about UFO sightings, most individuals believe that I mistook it for something else or they may think that it is merely a crap. UFO sightings are now able to easily be captured on video, while it’s through a telephone or video camera. They have become an ever-popular subject. In any event, UFO sightings aren’t something which’s new to society. On weekdays it appears that UFO sightings are driven by men and women that are routinely outside daily, rain or shine. During February in Minnesota, for instance, only 69 UFO sightings are reported since the start of the 21st century. The most typically known UFO sighting in america is called the Roswell UFO sighting of 1947.
There isn’t a great deal of in between when it has to do with UFOs. The UFO looks like it’s been seen by lots of individuals. Take for instance the lot of photographs that have been published of UFOs. Throughout that time period, there were two triangle UFOs sighted in the exact same location.
Why Almost Everything You’ve Learned About Ufo Sightings Is Wrong
UFO clubs operate on the internet to cover a huge geographical place. The video has become the fodder for quite a few arguments and debates about the authenticity of the same. It shows three different sightings of suspected UFOs in three different parts of the world. Take a look at the pictures and videos and you decide by yourself. Some video footage implies that the objects move quickly.
The Argument About Ufo Sightings
Starting a UFO club may sound unearthly as a means for young entrepreneurs to earn money. So, there’s no need to fret about the 156,353 UFO sightings and warnings. Why is everyone slightly obsessed with the concept of extraterrestrial life. There’s very little doubt that the web has played a part in the development of UFO reports in the past several years, though most can be explained by natural or human-caused phenomena. In the Washington Post Dan Drezner implies that the simple fact that the Department of Defense is starting to engage with the thought of UFOs weakens their thesis, but I am not certain that’s suitable. Most UFO sightings were reported in america, with 26 sightings happening during November.
Many still find proof of aliens. Before you make a decision as to what you believe, we implore you to comprehend the evidence. It is not easy to know what’s real evidence and what’s fake evidence. To begin with, so many men and women say reflexively that there’s no evidence of an ET presence engaging our planet, when they don’t really know the evidence. The unexplained cases appear to be similar in a lot of ways. Among the arguments that scientists use to debunk UFO sightings is that our planet has existed for over four billion decades, hence the odds are really small that the aliens would just chance to arrive here during the few decades that we’ve got technology.
What You Can Do About Ufo Sightings Starting in the Next Ten Minutes
Science isn’t too superficial. Someone has to cover science and every previous scientist. Mimicking science isn’t the exact same as doing science. Scientists have been on the lookout for about a hundred decades. Two decades afterwards the scientists publicized the results of their test that they argued revealed that the animal isn’t human. UFO experts claimed that the quantity of sightings has increased in recent decades. UFO enthusiasts think that the region is the ideal hotspot in the nation for UFO sightings.

UFOs from undersea secret bases are real and operated by undersea inhabitants
UFOs from undersea secret bases are real and operated by undersea inhabitants
Researcher Richard Sauder spoke about underwater bases associated with UFOs, as well as the secret government, and a coming economic implosion.
The late investigator and cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson concluded that underwater UFOs were real and operated by undersea inhabitants, said Sauder, who added that Lake Erie is a hotspot for such activity.
A remarkable UFO sighing over Lake Erie was reported last year when a resident of Huron, Ohio captured a strange large cone shaped metal looking object with two triangular bright lights came out of it over Lake Erie before it all disappeared. Large cone shaped metal looking UFO in the sky over Lake Erie
There are underground salt deposits in the lake area, which are easier to drill into and create caverns than regular rock, he explained. Intriguingly, he also suggested that the underground bases may be connected with time travel, as water has many unusual properties and it may somehow facilitate the malleability of time.
The newly-published YouTube video of NASA’s Apollo 15 Moon mission has attracted wide attention of UFO enthusiasts. Aside from the astronauts roaming around the moon’s surface, something so strange has been observed by curious viewers.
The shaky camera caught what many UFO pundits consider to be an alien spaceship parked in the background of the American astronauts rambling on the surface of the moon.
Meanwhile, some commentators are disappointed with the video quality as it difficult to verify the authenticity of the footage.
However, many others have remained convinced that there’s something visible on the Moon horizon. They believe the video seems to show a white-colored, alien spacecraft in the distance.
Apollo 15 was the fourth to land on the Moon and the 9th human-crewed mission in Apollo program of NASA. It was the first mission with a greater focus on science and had a more extended stay on the Moon than earlier landings. It also saw the first utilization of the Lunar Roving Vehicle.
“The Milky Way is on a collision course with Andromeda in about 4 billion years. So knowing what kind of a monster our galaxy is up against is useful in finding out the Milky Way’s ultimate fate.”
Navaneeth Unnikrishnan of Kerala, India, created this wonderful stacked image of the Andromeda galaxy with images taken in 2014.
Standing outside on a clear night, in a dark country location, you can look across vast space to see the Andromeda galaxy, aka M31 – the large spiral galaxy next door to our Milky Way – the most distant thing we humans can see with the eye alone. This huge galaxy is twice the diameter of our Milky Way at about 200,000light-years. It contains about a trillion stars, in contrast to the Milky Way’s 250-400 billion. To the eye, it looks peaceful, but, as astronomers have studied it, they’ve uncovered a violent past and future. For example, on October 1, 2019, astronomers announced evidence for two major “migration events” in the history of the Andromeda galaxy, that is, events where smaller dwarf galaxies merged with the larger galaxy. The more recent one happened a few billion years ago and the older event many billions of years before that.
The evidence for the two events comes from the relatively new field of galactic archaeology, that is, the use of the motions and properties of stars and star clusters – in this case, globular star clusters – to reconstruct a galaxy’s history. A statement from Gemini Observatory explained:
Gas and dwarf galaxies in the vast cosmic web follow the gravitational paths laid out by dark matter – traversing filaments, they migrate slowly toward collections of dark matter and assemble into large galaxies. As dwarf galaxies are pulled in by gravity, they are also pulled apart, leaving behind long trailing streams of stars and compact star clusters.
Astronomers study the leftover streams of stars – still visible in modern galaxies – to unearth a galaxy’s history. In this case, the astronomers analyzed data from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey, known as PAndAS. Their study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature on October 2. Australian National University researcher Dougal Mackey co-led the study with Geraint Lewis from the University of Sydney.

Lewis commented:
We are cosmic archaeologists, except we are digging through the fossils of long-dead galaxies rather than human history.
Dougal Mackey said:
By tracing the faint remains of these smaller galaxies with embedded star clusters, we’ve been able to recreate the way Andromeda drew them in and ultimately enveloped them at the different times.
View larger. | Here is part of the evidence for 2 ancient migration events in the Andromeda galaxy. Astronomers studied this galaxy’s globular star clusters (lower right insets), indicated by colored circles. They are located in the outer halo of the Andromeda Galaxy, beyond the bright disk of the galaxy (upper left inset). The clusters separate into 2 groups: one associated with stellar streams and one not associated with stellar streams. The orbits of these groups of globular clusters are very different from each other, a result that points to 2 separate migration events in the history of the galaxy. The color of each circle indicates the line-of-sight velocity of the corresponding star cluster.

The discovery presents several new mysteries, with the two bouts of galactic feeding coming from completely different directions. Lewis said:
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.
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.
Mackey and Lewis were part of a team that previously discovered such planes were fragile and rapidly destroyed by Andromeda’s gravity within a few billion years. Lewis said:
This deepens the mystery as the plane must be young, but it appears to be aligned with ancient feeding of dwarf galaxies. Maybe this is because of the cosmic web, but really, this is only speculation.
We’re going to have to think quite hard to unravel what this is telling us.
These astronomers also spoke of the future of the Andromeda galaxy and our Milky Way. The two large galaxies are currently approaching each other, and they are expected to collide several billion years from now. Mackey said:
The Milky Way is on a collision course with Andromeda in about four billion years. So knowing what kind of a monster our galaxy is up against is useful in finding out the Milky Way’s ultimate fate.

Bottom line: Astronomers used galactic archaeology – the study of star motions in a modern galaxy – to uncover past mergings of small galaxies with the Andromeda galaxy. They say this work will help them understand a collision due to occur between the Andromeda galaxy and our Milky Way billions of years from now.
Navy Pilot Who Reportedly Encountered UFO Reveals New Incidents About Alien ‘Dark Mass’
Navy Pilot Who Reportedly Encountered UFO Reveals New Incidents About Alien ‘Dark Mass’
In September, the US Navy confirmed that three videos which were previously released by To The Stars Academy of Arts, possibly showing UFO encounters, were of “unauthorised and unidentified” aircraft. One pilot that was among those who potentially exposed a UFO back in 2004 has shared more details about the US Navy’s alien encounters in the past.
Former US Navy pilot Commander David Fravor, who was among those who pursued the famous “Tic Tac”-shaped UFO near the coast of San Diego in 2004 - which later came out on one of the three videos revealed by To The Stars Academy - appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast this Saturday to discuss potential encounters with extraterrestrial life experienced by other airmen.
David Fravor first revealed his squadron’s encounter with a 12-metre-long “Tic Tac-looking object” during training exercises in the Pacific Ocean in a shocking article in The New York Times in December 2017. Back in 2004, the pilots first witnessed an unidentified Boeing 747-sized object under the surface of the water and then another one erratically moving just above it, which was later filmed by another member of Fravor’s squadron with the help of the plane’s infra-red targeting camera.
The footage, filmed on 14 November 2004 and titled “FLIR1”, later emerged among two other videos, titled “Gimbal” and “GoFast” and captured in January 2015, that were acquired by former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo and released by To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science, a UFO research organisation founded by Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge.
In mid-September, US Navy spokesman Joseph Gradisher confirmed for the first time that the videos really showed "unidentified phenomena".
In his first major interview since the videos were acknowledged, Commander Fravor revealed some other shocking stories about the US Navy’s potential UFO encounters that other pilots told him about following his revelation.
“They don’t feel alone”, Fravor said during the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, published on the PowerfulJRE YouTube channel. “One of the guys was a Navy helicopter pilot. He was flying a CH-53, a big heavy-lifter the Marine Corps uses for certain things. Off the East Coast they do a lot of shooting, at the time it was off Puerto Rico”.
According to Fravor, the pilot, whose job included retrieving BQM aerial target drones and submarine telemetry torpedoes in the 1990s, once encountered an unexplained “kind of dark mass coming up from the depths”.
“As they hoist the BQM up, he’s looking at this thing going, ‘What the hell is that?’’ Fravor said, while recalling the pilot’s story. “And then it just goes back down underwater. Once they pull the kid and the BQM out of the water, this object descends back into the depths”.
According to Favor, the incident was repeated a few months later.
“He’s out picking up a torpedo, they hook the diver up on the winch, and as they’re lowering him down, he sees this big mass. He goes, ‘It’s not a submarine’. He’s seen submarines before. Once you’ve seen a submarine you can’t confuse it with something else. This big object, kind of circular, is coming up from the depths and he starts screaming through the intercom system to tell them to pull the diver up, and the diver’s only a few feet from the water”, Fravor said.
“They reverse the winch and the diver’s thinking, ‘What the hell is going on?’ And all of a sudden he said the torpedo just got sucked down underwater, and the object just descended back down into the depths. They never recovered it”.
Fravor added that the helicopter pilot, whose story he shared, was sure that the torpedo “didn’t sink”, but rather “got sucked down”. The former Navy commander also added that objects that he encountered himself were potentially “manipulating the gravity field and just moving through a void” and could “in theory fly, go into the ocean” and even go to space, with up to a dozen of them being tracked by the USS Princeton’s systems prior to his squadron’s sighting in 2004.
In September, former Pentagon employee Luis Elizondo, who currently works for To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science,claimed that some of the extensive data and physical evidence that his organisation obtained could prove the existence of UFOs.
Giant molecules can be in two places at once, thanks to quantum physics.
That's something that scientists have long known is theoretically true based on a few facts: Every particle or group of particles in the universe is also a wave — even large particles, even bacteria, even human beings, even planets and stars. And waves occupy multiple places in space at once. So any chunk of matter can also occupy two places at once. Physicists call this phenomenon "quantum superposition," and for decades, they have demonstrated it using small particles.
But in recent years, physicists have scaled up their experiments, demonstrating quantum superposition using larger and larger particles. Now, in a paper published Sept. 23 in the journal Nature Physics, an international team of researchers has caused molecule made up of up to 2,000 atoms to occupy two places at the same time.
To pull it off, the researchers built a complicated, modernized version of a series of famous old experiments that first demonstrated quantum superposition.
Researchers had long known that light, fired through a sheet with two slits in it, would create an interference pattern, or a series of light and dark fringes, on the wall behind the sheet. But light was understood as a massless wave, not something made of particles, so this wasn't surprising. However, in a series of famous experiments in the 1920s, physicists showed that electrons fired through thin films or crystals would behave in a similar way, forming patterns like light does on the wall behind the diffracting material.
If electrons were simply particles, and so could occupy only one point in space at a time, they would form two strips, roughly the shape of the slits, on the wall behind the film or crystal. But instead, the electrons hit that wall in complex patterns suggesting the electrons had interfered with themselves . That is a telltale sign of a wave; in some spots, the peaks of the waves coincide, creating brighter regions, while in other spots, the peaks coincide with troughs, so the two cancel each other out and create a dark region. Because physicists already knew that electrons had mass and were definitely particles, the experiment showed that matter acts both as individual particles and as waves.
But it's one thing to create an interference pattern with electrons. Doing it with giant molecules is a lot trickier. Bigger molecules have less-easily detected waves, because more massive objects have shorter wavelengths that can lead to barely-perceptible interference patterns. And these 2,000-atom particles have wavelengths smaller than the diameter of a single hydrogen atom, so their interference pattern is much less dramatic.
To pull off the double-slit experiment for big things, the researchers built a machine that could fire a beam of molecules (hulking things called "oligo-tetraphenylporphyrins enriched with fluoroalkylsulfanyl chains," some more than 25,000 times the mass of a simple hydrogen atom) through a series of grates and sheets bearing multiple slits. The beam was about 6.5 feet (2 meters) long. That's big enough that the researchers had to account for factors like gravity and the rotation of the Earth in designing the beam emitter, the scientists wrote in the paper. They also kept the molecules fairly warm for a quantum physics experiment, so they had to account for heat jostling the particles.
But still, when the researchers switched the machine on, the detectors at the far end of the beam revealed an interference pattern. The molecules were occupying multiple points in space at once.
It's an exciting result, the researchers wrote, proving quantum interference at larger scales than had ever before been detected.
"The next generation of matter-wave experiments will push the mass by an order of magnitude," the authors wrote.
So, even bigger demonstrations of quantum interference are coming, though it probably won't be possible to fire yourself through an interferometer anytime soon. (First of all, the vacuum in the machine would probably kill you.) Us giant beings are just going to have to sit in one place and watch the particles have all the fun.

U.S. Air Force scientists developed liquid metal which autonomously changes structure
U.S. Air Force scientists developed liquid metal which autonomously changes structure

As reported by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, military scientists have developed a “Terminator-like” liquid metal that can autonomously change the structure, just like in a Hollywood movie.
The scientists developed liquid metal systems for stretchable electronics – that can be bent, folded, crumpled and stretched – are major research areas towards next-generation military devices.
Conductive materials change their properties as they are strained or stretched. Typically, electrical conductivity decreases and resistance increases with stretching.
The material recently developed by Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) scientists, called Polymerized Liquid Metal Networks, does just the opposite. These liquid metal networks can be strained up to 700%, autonomously respond to that strain to keep the resistance between those two states virtually the same, and still return to their original state. It is all due to the self-organized nanostructure within the material that performs these responses automatically.
“This response to stretching is the exact opposite of what you would expect,” said Dr. Christopher Tabor, AFRL lead research scientist on the project. “Typically a material will increase in resistance as it is stretched simply because the current has to pass through more material. Experimenting with these liquid metal systems and seeing the opposite response was completely unexpected and frankly unbelievable until we understood what was going on.”
Wires maintaining their properties under these different kinds of mechanical conditions have many applications, such as next-generation wearable electronics. For instance, the material could be integrated into a long-sleeve garment and used for transferring power through the shirt and across the body in a way that bending an elbow or rotating a shoulder won’t change the power transferred.
The U.S. Navy commissioned the newest littoral combat ship, USS Cincinnati (LCS 20) during a ceremony…
AFRL researchers also evaluated the material’s heating properties in a form factor resembling a heated glove. They measured thermal response with sustained finger movement and retained a nearly constant temperature with a constant applied voltage, unlike current state-of-the-art stretchable heaters that lose substantial thermal power generation when strained due to the resistance changes.
This project started within the last year and was developed in AFRL with fundamental research dollars from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. It is currently being explored for further development in partnership with both private companies and universities. Working with companies on cooperative research is beneficial because they take early systems that function well in the lab and optimize them for potential scale up. In this case, they will enable integration of these materials into textiles that can serve to monitor and augment human performance.
The researchers start with individual particles of liquid metal enclosed in a shell, which resemble water balloons. Each particle is then chemically tethered to the next one through a polymerization process, akin to adding links into a chain; in that way all of the particles are connected to each other.
As the connected liquid metal particles are strained, the particles tear open and liquid metal spills out. Connections form to give the system both conductivity and inherent stretchability. During each stretching cycle after the first, the conductivity increases and returns back to normal. To top it off, there is no detection of fatigue after 10,000 cycles.
“The discovery of Polymerized Liquid Metal Networks is ideal for stretchable power delivery, sensing and circuitry,” said Capt. Carl Thrasher, research chemist within the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate at AFRL and lead author on the Journal Article. “Human interfacing systems will be able to operate continuously, weigh less, and deliver more power with this technology.”
“We think this is really exciting for a multitude of applications,” he added. “This is something that isn’t available on the market today so we are really excited to introduce this to the world and spread the word.”
The first dead bull was found in a timbered ravine in eastern Oregon. There was no indication it had been shot, attacked by predators or eaten poisonous plants. The animal's sex organs and tongue had been removed. All the blood was gone.
In the next few days, four more Hereford bulls were found within 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) in the same condition. There were no tracks around the carcasses. Ranch management and law enforcement suspect that someone killed the bulls. Ranch hands have been advised to travel in pairs and to go armed.
Ever since the bulls were found over several days in July, Harney County Sheriff's Deputy Dan Jenkins has received many calls and emails from people speculating what, or who, might be responsible.
The theories range from scavengers such as carrion bugs eating the carcasses to people attacking the animals to cause financial harm to ranchers. One person suggested that Jenkins look for craters underneath the carcasses, saying it would be evidence the bulls had been levitated into a spaceship, mutilated, and then dropped back to the ground.
Jenkins, who is leading the investigation that also involves state police, has run into only dead ends, with no witnesses. 'If anyone has concrete information or knows of any cases that have been solved in the past, that would definitely be helpful,' he said from his office in Burns.
Colby Marshall, vice president of the Silvies Valley Ranch that owned the bulls, has another theory: 'We think that this crime is being perpetuated by some sort of a cult,' he said.
A Hereford bull lies dead in Burns, Oregon, one of five apparently healthy bulls that were found dead and with sex organs and tongues removed. Authorities suspect the bizarre deaths and mutilations were human caused, but have no leads
The case recalls mutilations of livestock across the West and Midwest in the 1970s that struck fear in rural areas. Thousands of cattle and other livestock were found dead with the reproductive organs, and sometimes part of their faces, removed, in territory ranging from Minnesota to New Mexico.
Ranchers began carrying guns. Folks said helicopters had been heard around the kill sites. A federal agency canceled an inventory by helicopter of its lands in Colorado, worried that it would get shot down.
A couple of U.S. senators urged the FBI to investigate, according to FBI documents. After saying it lacked jurisdiction, the FBI agreed to investigate cases on tribal lands. But the mutilations stopped. Former FBI agent Kenneth Rommel, who headed the investigation, said there was no indication that anything other than common predators were responsible.
Cases have emerged sporadically since then. In the 1980s, a few cows were found dead and mutilated in eastern Oregon. More recently, there have been cases on a ranch near Flagstaff, Arizona.
Some of the mutilations can be attributed to natural causes. An animal drops dead, the blood pools at the bottom of the carcass, the carcass bloats and the skin dries out and splits. The tears often appear surgical. Carrion bugs, birds and other scavengers go for soft tissues like rectum, genitals, udders and eyes.
Dave Bohnert, director of Oregon State University's Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center in Burns, said he believes people killed the Silvies bulls because there is no indication they were felled by predators or had eaten poisonous plants. However, the state of the carcasses could be attributable to nature, said Bohnert, who is not officially investigating the case.
If people killed the bulls, a motive could be to financially harm the ranch, he said, noting that breeding bulls cost thousands of dollars each, and the 100-plus calves each of them sire are collectively worth much more.
Marshall doubts it was a malicious attack on the ranch, which employs 75 people, many from local communities. Silvies Valley Ranch covers 140,000 acres (57,000 hectares) of deeded and leased National Forest lands around a mile above sea level.
Colby Marshall (above), vice president of Silvies Valley Ranch poses for a picture in Burns, Oregon. Silvies Valley Ranch owns five bulls that were found dead with sex organs and tongues removed. Here Marshall is pictured in September 2017
In 2006, a wealthy veterinarian bought the ranch and made it a combination working ranch and an elite destination resort. It has four golf courses, a spa, shooting ranges, fishing and luxury cabins going for up to $849 per night.
Marshall suspects the bulls were killed to get the organs of the free-ranging bulls for some reason. The bull parts would be available cheaply or free at a slaughterhouse, but he believes some people are going to a lot of trouble to get these parts on the range.
There's no sign that scavengers removed the organs of the bulls, and instead someone using a knife or scalpel probably did, Marshall said.
'To lose a completely healthy animal would be an oddity,' Marshall said. 'To lose five young, very healthy, in great shape, perfect bulls that are all basically the same age ... that is so outside the bounds of normal activity.'
Marshall speculates the bulls were darted with a tranquilizer that knocked them out. While some people acted as lookouts, others bled the animals out by inserting a large-gauge needle into the tongue and into an artery, then removed the organs after the heart stopped beating, he surmised.
Jenkins, the deputy, has a similar theory.
'Personally, I would lean more toward the occult, where people for whatever reason -- whether it's a phase of the moon or whatever rituals they're going to do with their beliefs -- are coming to different areas and doing that,' he said.
The Oregon Cattlemen's Association is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible. The ranch is offering $25,000.

A couple of U.S. senators urged the FBI to investigate, according to FBI documents. After saying it lacked jurisdiction, the FBI agreed to investigate cases on tribal lands. But the mutilations stopped. Former FBI agent Kenneth Rommel, who headed the investigation, said there was no indication that anything other than common predators were responsible.
Oregon ranchers on high alert as 4 bulls are mysteriously mutilated on a ranch.
Cases have emerged sporadically since then. In the 1980s, a few cows were found dead and mutilated in eastern Oregon. More recently, there have been cases on a ranch near Flagstaff, Arizona.
Some of the mutilations can be attributed to natural causes. An animal drops dead, the blood pools at the bottom of the carcass, the carcass bloats and the skin dries out and splits. The tears often appear surgical. Carrion bugs, birds and other scavengers go for soft tissues like rectum, genitals, udders and eyes.
Dave Bohnert, director of Oregon State University's Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center in Burns, said he believes people killed the Silvies bulls because there is no indication they were felled by predators or had eaten poisonous plants. However, the state of the carcasses could be attributable to nature, said Bohnert, who is not officially investigating the case.
If people killed the bulls, a motive could be to financially harm the ranch, he said, noting that breeding bulls cost thousands of dollars each, and the 100-plus calves each of them sire are collectively worth much more.
Marshall doubts it was a malicious attack on the ranch, which employs 75 people, many from local communities. Silvies Valley Ranch covers 140,000 acres of deeded and leased National Forest lands around a mile above sea level.
In 2006, a wealthy veterinarian bought the ranch and made it a combination working ranch and an elite destination resort. It has four golf courses, a spa, shooting ranges, fishing and luxury cabins going for up to $849 per night.
Marshall suspects the bulls were killed to get the organs of the free-ranging bulls for some reason. The bull parts would be available cheaply or free at a slaughterhouse, but he believes some people are going to a lot of trouble to get these parts on the range.
There's no sign that scavengers removed the organs of the bulls, and instead someone using a knife or scalpel probably did, Marshall said.
"To lose a completely healthy animal would be an oddity," Marshall said. "To lose five young, very healthy, in great shape, perfect bulls that are all basically the same age ... that is so outside the bounds of normal activity."
Marshall speculates the bulls were darted with a tranquilizer that knocked them out. While some people acted as lookouts, others bled the animals out by inserting a large-gauge needle into the tongue and into an artery, then removed the organs after the heart stopped beating, he surmised.
Jenkins, the deputy, has a similar theory.
"Personally, I would lean more toward the occult, where people for whatever reason -- whether it's a phase of the moon or whatever rituals they're going to do with their beliefs -- are coming to different areas and doing that," he said.
The Oregon Cattlemen's Association is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible. The ranch is offering $25,000.
The 4 bulls were found mutilated, without genitals and tongue, in the Malheur National Forest in Oregon
The so-called Drake equationis a probabilistic argument purposed to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy. The equation is:
where
R* represents the average rate of star formation in our galaxy
fl is the fraction of planets that could support life that actually do develop life at some point
fi is the fraction of planets with life that develop (intelligent) civilizations
fc is the fraction of civilizations that develop technology which emit detectable signals of their existance into space
L is the length of time for which extra terrestrial civilizations release detectable signals into space
Subject to the assumptions that give rise to these variables, estimates of the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy have ranged widely from as low as 0.000000000091 (we are probably alone in our galaxy) to as high as 15,600,000 (our galaxy is populated by millions of intelligent civilizations). The following animation eloquently explains the factors that go into the estimation:
The Drake Equation
The Drake equation in other words summarizes the factors which are thought to affect the likelihood that humans will be able to detect radio-communication from intelligent extraterrestrial life (Burchell, 2006). The argument was first proposed in 1961 by American astronomer Frank Drake, for the purpose of stimulating scientific dialogue at the meeting of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) community:
As I planned the meeting, I realized a few day[s] ahead of time we needed an agenda. And so I wrote down all the things you needed to know to predict how hard it’s going to be to detect extraterrestrial life. And looking at them it became pretty evident that if you multiplied all these together, you got a number, N, which is the number of detectable civilizations in our galaxy. This was aimed at the radio search, and not to search for primordial or primitive life forms.
— Frank Drake
The 1961 meeting of the SETI community was arranged following a surge of interest among various well-known physicists and astronomers’ in searching for extra terrestrial communications. Evidence of this interest includes Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison’s Nature article Searching for Interstellar Communications which first proposed the idea of using radio telescopes to try to detect transmissions broadcast by extraterrestrial civilizations. It also includes a newspaper article entitled Life on other Planets? in the Sydney Morning Harald (1959) in which Harlow Shapley (father of Nobel laureate mathematician Lloyd Shapley) and William Howells’ work for the Darwin Centennial celebration is highlighted.
Original estimates
Depending on the assumptions, as many skeptics have pointed out, the Drake equation can give a very wide range of values. Original “educated guesses” for each parameter proposed by Drake and his colleagues in 1961 were:
R* ≈ 1, the yearly average rate of star formation in our galaxy
fp ≈ 0.2– 0.5, one fifth to one half of all stars will have planets
ne ≈ 1–5, stars with planets will have between one and five planets in the habitable zone
fl ≈ 1, every planet in the habitable zone will develop life
fi ≈ 1, every planet will life will develop intelligent life
fc ≈ 0.1–0.2, between 10% – 20% of planets with intelligent life will be able to communicate
L ≈ 1000–100 000 000, the length of time for which extra terrestrials will send detectable signals into space and these signals’ duration
If we assume the lower estimates, the solution to the Drake equation then yields:
If we instead assume the higher estimates, the solution to the Drake equation then yields:
Suggesting that intelligent extra terrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way number somewhere between 20 (two zero) and 50 million. In other words, if one agrees with the 1961 assumptions of Drake and his colleagues’, it is likely that there currently exists intelligent extra terrestrial civilizations capable of communicating with Earth, as we speak. However, as should be clear, a few of these assumptions seem implausibly optimistic.
Better informed estimates
Although we have a fairly good idea of the rate of stellar formation, a dearth of data for the other components means that calculations are often reduced to the creative speculations of quixotic astronomers.
— Michael Shermer
Since the above first estimate was proposed in 1961, each factor of the Drake equation have been further researched, altering the original estimation drastically. The only factor we can claim to have empirically valid, statistically significant estimates for, as Michael Shermer points out, is the first, the rate of star formation in the Milky Way (Shermer, 2002):
The star formation rate
The first factor (R*) representing the rate of star formation in the Milky Way was in 2010 estimated by researchers Thomas Robitaille and Barbara A. Whitney to be approximately equal to between R* = 0.68 M☉ and 1.45 M☉, where M☉ represents a solar mass. Using the data from the GLIMPSE infrared survey conducted with NASA’s Spitzer infrared telescope, the study derived the galactic star formation rate (SFR) by comparing the number of young stellar objects (YSO) with a refined stellar-population synthesis model (Wanjek, 2015). The approximation yields a star formation rate of about 1.5–3 stars per year.
Fraction of stars with planets
The current best estimate of how many stars have planets (fp), perhaps surprisingly, argues that the fraction may approach 1, suggesting that not only do most stars have planets, every star does.
Fraction of planets in the habitable zone of sun-like stars
A 2013 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences purported that based on Kepler space mission data, there could be as many as 40 billion Earth-sized planets orbiting in the habitable zones of sun-like stars and red-dwarf stars in the Milky Way (Petigura et al, 2013). Considering that there are an estimated 100 billion stars in our galaxy, this implies that the fraction of planets in the habitable zone of sun-like stars (ne) is equal to 0.4.
Fraction of habitable planets that develop life
Considering no other planet than Earth have as of yet shown signs of life, estimations of the fraction of habitable planets that go on to develop life (fl) are speculative at best. If signs of life were to be found on e.g. Mars, Europa or Titan (which developed independently of life on earth), it could imply a value of fl approaching 1.
Fraction of habituated planets that develop intelligent life
Estimations of the fraction of habituated planets that go on to develop not only life, but intelligent life (fi), expectedly, varies widely. Among those who argue for low values, it is pointed out that among the billions of species on earth, only one (that we know of) has become intelligent, and so 1 divided by billions appears to argue for a small fraction. Among those who argue for high values, it is commonly pointed out that as the complexity of life increases over time, intelligence appears almost inevitable, given long enough time (Bonner, 1988).
Fraction of habituated planets with intelligent life that send signals into space
The motivation and incentives for the discovery of the usefulness of electromagnetic waves for the purposes of long-distance communications appear strong enough to argue for the inevitability of a fraction of intelligent civilizations eventually emitting signals into space (fc), revealing their existence. This would argue for a high fraction. Arguments for a low fraction vary widely from those who claim that civilizations broadcast detectable radio signals only for a brief period of time before superior technology takes over, to those who argue that civilizations tend to isolate themselves. Either estimate of course, varies widely and is essentially purely speculative.
Lifetime of an intelligent, communicative civilization
Although we do have empirical data to support estimations of the final factor, how long an intelligent, communicative civilization stays communicating (L), we lack an ability to extrapolate this data to other planets. Shermer (2002) argues that there have been 60 such civilizations thus far on earth (going back to Mesopotamia, Babylonia, Ancient Egypt and Greece, the Roman Empire, Chinese, Japanese, African, Indian and South American dynasties, and including six modern states of Europe and America) which survived a total of 25,234 years, giving an estimated average lifetime of an intelligent, communicative civilization to be L = 420.6 years. Others have added that at a certain level of complexity, civilizations overcome threats to their existence and go on forever. It has also been noted that as more civilizations arise and are extinct, future civilizations become increasingly sophisticated by learning from history.
A modern estimation
Inputing the estimates found above and using fractions of 0.5 where there is no data to rely on, we obtain:
Suggesting, somewhat nonsensically, that there are approximately 46 extra terrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way currently capable of communicating with earth.
Relationship to the Fermi paradox
The Drake equation has a relationship with the famous Fermi paradox which argues that there exists a contradiction between:
The lack of empirical evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations; and
The high estimates of the probability of extraterrestrial life (such as those arrived at by choosing high values for the factors in the Drake equation);
The argument for the paradox was formalized by Michael H. Hart in 1975, but bears Fermi’s name due to a well-known conversation about recent UFO reports between Enrico Fermi, Edward Teller, Herbert York and Emil Konopinski at the end of which Fermi supposedly proclaimed “But where is everybody?”.
Hart’s paper Explanation for the Absence of Extraterrestrials on Earth highlights the following axioms for the claim:
There are billons of other stars in our galaxy that are similar to our sun;
It is highly probable that some of these stars have Earth-like planets;
If the earth is typical, some of these planets may have developed intelligent life and interstellar travel;
Even at the slow velocity of envisioned interstellar travel, one could travel across the Milky Way in a few million years;
Following this reasoning, Hart argues, earth should already have been visited by extra terrestrial aliens or their probes, if they existed.
Howard: Are you not familiar with the Drake equation? Sheldon: The one that estimates the odds of making contact with extraterrestrials, by calculating the product of an increasingly restrictive series of fractional values, such as those stars with planets and those planets likely to develop life, N = R* × fₚ × nₑ × fₗ × fᵢ × f𝒸 × LHoward: Yeah, that one.

Zo groot als een Boeing 737. Voormalige gevechtspiloot doet boekje open over ‘reusachtig onderwaterobject’
Zo groot als een Boeing 737. Voormalige gevechtspiloot doet boekje open over ‘reusachtig onderwaterobject’
Een voormalige hooggeplaatste militair heeft in de podcast van Joe Rogan een boekje open gedaan over een enorm onderwaterobject waar hij mee werd geconfronteerd.
De voormalige marinepiloot David Fravor onthulde recentelijk tegenover de New York Times dat hij in 2004 tijdens een oefening voor de kust van San Diego een object ter grootte van een Boeing 737 had gespot onder het wateroppervlak.
Vlak boven het water en boven het onderwaterobject hing een 12 meter lang object in de vorm van een Tic Tac.
Ongelooflijke snelheid
Fravor probeerde het object te onderscheppen, maar het vloog weg met een ongelooflijke snelheid.
Hij speculeerde dat de objecten op de één of andere manier het zwaartekrachtveld kunnen manipuleren en door een soort leegte vliegen.
“Op die manier kun je de oceaan in vliegen, weer de lucht in vliegen en de ruimte in gaan,” zei hij.
Vreemde dingen
“Je verwijdert als het ware de barrières waar we met normale aandrijfsystemen mee te maken hebben,” vervolgde hij.
Hij zei dat veel van zijn collega’s ook vreemde dingen zien in de oceaan.
Eén van hen, een helikopterpiloot, zag op 15 meter boven het wateroppervlak een donkere massa omhoog komen uit de diepte.
Geen onderzeeër
Toen hij het object zagen verschijnen, verdween het weer snel richting de bodem.
“Hij zei dat het geen onderzeeër was,” aldus Fravor. “Hij weet hoe onderzeeërs eruitzien.”
Er werden op dat moment proeven gedaan met torpedo’s. Het leek erop alsof ze door het object omlaag werden gezogen.
THE SUPERMASSIVE black hole at the centre of the Milky Way exploded 3.5million years ago, according to astronomers.
This is considered to be 'astonishingly recent' in galactic terms and is changing what scientists thought they knew about our galaxy.
Professor Lisa Kewley, who worked on the study, said: "This is a dramatic event that happened a few million years ago in the Milky Way's history.
"A massive blast of energy and radiation came right out of the galactic centre and into the surrounding material.
"This shows that the centre of the Milky Way is a much more dynamic place than we had previously thought. It is lucky we're not residing there!"
The cataclysmic blast ripped through our galaxy and was likely felt 200,00 light years away in the Magellanic Stream.
It is considered to be a recent event because when it happened the dinosaurs had already been wiped out for 63million years and human ancestors were already walking on Earth.
This black hole blast phenomenon is known as a Seyfert flare.
The astronomers think it would have created two enormous 'ionisation cones' that would have sliced through the Milky Way.
They think it was caused by nuclear activity in the gigantic black hole, known as Sagittarius A.
It is estimated to have lasted for around 300,000 years, which is extremely short in galactic terms.
Co-author Magda Guglielmo from the University of Sydney said: "These results dramatically change our understanding of the Milky Way.
"We always thought about our Galaxy as an inactive galaxy, with a not so bright centre.
"These new results instead open the possibility of a complete reinterpretation of its evolution and nature.
"The flare event that occurred three million years ago was so powerful that it had consequences on the surrounding of our Galaxy.
"We are the witness to the awakening of the sleeping beauty."
The research was led by by Professor Joss Bland-Hawthorn from Australia's ARC Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (ASTRO 3D).
During the study, data was gathered by the Hubble Space Telescope and used to calculate when and how the explosion took place.
It will soon be published in The Astrophysical Journal.
What is a black hole? The key facts
Here's what you need to know...
What is a black hole?
A black hole is a region of space where absolutely nothing can escape
That's because they have extremely strong gravitational effects, which means once something goes into a black hole, it can't come back out
They get their name because even light can't escape once it's been sucked in – which is why a black hole is completely dark
What is an event horizon?
There has to be a point at which you're so close to a black hole you can't escape
Otherwise literally everything in the universe would have been sucked into one
The point at which you can no longer escape from a black hole's gravitational pull is called the event horizon
The event horizon varies between different black holes, depending on their mass and size
What is a singularity?
The gravitational singularity is the very centre of a black hole
It's a one-dimensional point that contains an incredibly large mass in an infinitely small space
At the singularity, space-time curves infinitely and the gravitational pull is infinitely strong
Conventional laws of physics stop applying at this point
How are black holes created?
Most black holes are made when a supergiant star dies
This happens when stars run out of fuel – like hydrogen – to burn, causing the star to collapse
When this happens, gravity pulls the centre of the star inwards quickly, and collapses into a tiny ball
It expands and contracts until one final collapse, causing part of the star to collapse inward thanks to gravity, and the rest of the star to explode outwards
The remaining central ball is extremely dense, and if it's especially dense, you get a black hole
Researchers have found evidence of a cataclysmic flare that punched outward in both directions from our galaxy’s center, reaching so far into intergalactic space that its impact was felt 200,000 light-years away.

These bursts of radiation must have exploded from the center of our Milky Way. Their effect is seen today as elevated H-alpha emission along a section of the Magellanic Stream.

Remember the vast and mysterious Fermi bubbles, apparent remnants of a titanic explosion close to the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy? They were widely discussed around the year 2010, noticeable in X-ray and gamma ray data from the ROSAT and Fermisatellites. Astronomers said today (October 6, 2019) that they’ve uncovered more evidence relating the Fermi bubbles – gathered using Hubble Space Telescope data – in the form of two enormous bursts of ionizing radiation that must have zipped through the poles of our galaxy and out into deep space. One burst must have been powerful enough to reach 200,000 light-years into space, so that its impact struck the Magellanic Stream, a long trail of gas extending from the nearby Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, dwarf galaxies orbiting our Milky Way.

All of this activity from our Milky Way’s center – the explosion and its aftermath – apparently occurred just 3.5 million years ago when, on Earth, the asteroid that triggered the extinction of the dinosaurs was already 63 million years in the past, and humanity’s ancient ancestors, the australopithecines, were roaming in Africa.
They estimate that the blast lasted for perhaps 300,000 years, a long time in human terms, but an exceedingly short time as measured on the scale of galaxies.
Artist’s concept of the Fermi bubbles. Hints of their edges were first observed in X-rays (blue) by ROSAT, which operated in the 1990s. The gamma rays associated with these vast bubbles – mapped by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (magenta) – extend much farther from the galaxy’s plane.
Image via NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
The astronomers who recently discovered the flare event – impacting the Magellanic Stream – said they noticed it because:
… some Stream clouds towards both galactic poles are highly ionized by a source capable of producing ionization energies up to at least 50 eV [electronvolts].
And these researchers associate this ionization with the blast that created the Fermi bubbles.
These new findings come from a team of scientists led by astronomer Joss Bland-Hawthorn from Australia’s ARC Centre of Excellence for All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (ASTRO 3D). They are soon to be published in the peer-reviewedAstrophysical Journal.
About 10% of all galaxies are known to have flares of this kind, which are called Seyfert flares. Our galaxy isn’t generally considered a Seyfert galaxy, or a particularly active galaxy at all. But the Milky Way is known to have a 4-million-solar-mass black hole at its heart, called Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A* (pronounced Sagittarius A-star). Even earlier this year, Sgr A* was caught having an unusually large meal of gas and dust.
So astronomers are learning that the Milky Way, too, can sometimes have a burst of activity, although it’s minor in contrast to true active galaxies.
The explosion 3.5 million years ago was too huge to have been triggered by anything other than nuclear activity associated with Sgr A*, said the team who studied it. Bland-Hawthorn commented:
The flare must have been a bit like a lighthouse beam. Imagine darkness, and then someone switches on a lighthouse beacon for a brief period of time.
This is a dramatic event that happened a few million years ago in the Milky Way’s history. A massive blast of energy and radiation came right out of the galactic center and into the surrounding material. This shows that the center of the Milky Way is a much more dynamic place than we had previously thought. It is lucky we’re not residing there!

Bottom line: Researchers have found evidence of a cataclysmic flare that punched outward in both directions from our galaxy’s center, reaching so far into intergalactic space that its impact was felt 200,000 light-years away. They associate this new discovery with the Fermi bubbles, apparent remnants of a titanic explosion close to the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, some 3.5 million years ago.
Oxford Lecturer: Aliens Are Breeding With Humans to Save Mankind From Climate Change Catastrophe (Video)
Oxford Lecturer: Aliens Are Breeding With Humans to Save Mankind From Climate Change Catastrophe (Video)
It was interesting that while I was researching my next video about Greta Thunberg potentially being a small grey alien I noticed this article from April 26th, 2019 in the UK DailyMail about a Korean instructor from Oxford University saying that aliens are interbreeding with humans all in the name of preserving life on Earth from the catalytic consequences of climate change. He originally presented this lecture in 2012. I refer his discussion on climate change to the recent speech made by another small grey alien named Greta who see’s Earth’s demise in the next ten plus years. This is further proof of the mainstream media pushing the fear factor of global climate crisis and using The Alien Agenda to further push this fall narrative.
I want to share this comment with you as I gave it a thumbs up in the comment section on dailymail.co.uk From reader Arthur Frayn_Vortex_United Kingdom: ‘This is part of an intense controlled media propaganda campaign, otherwise it wouldn’t be disseminated in the controlled media. The Elite want to turn the masses into perfect slaves, engineering people for docility. They will take the fight out of us by C.astration, turning us into “Gender Neutral” child like people. How to get the masses to accept the unacceptable? Portray it as evolving with the help of fictional higher beings. This is why the Aliens they’ve convinced the masses are real through Sci-Fi, the so called Grey pictured here in the “News” media, are always portrayed as Gender Neutral human figures. A consistent message. Gender will be portrayed as the cause of conflict, two sides make a conflict they’ll say, and this leads to war and all discord. Only “Neutrality” they’ll claim will bring “Balance”. It won’t be optional, it’ll be forced on us. They’ll claim the Alien Threat will destroy us otherwise. Of course the Elite and their minions will remain undomesticated.’ Now I see why they are trying to show us (subliminally) that Greta is a ‘neutral gender’ Little Grey Alien. See you on my next video. Mark @GlobalAgenda

I found this disk shaped craft in a SOHO/NASA photo today. Its dated Oct 6th, so its one of the newest out. This UFO is huge, moon size and has a raised upper and lower center hump on it, much like the classic disks seen in the 1950s. UFOs near the sun appear daily, yes I said that right. I would estimate that hundreds of UFOs if not more appear near our sun daily. The real question is why? Only two possible answers:
1: They are gathering some energy or rare energy substances.
2: They are using the center of the sun for their planets and a mini solar system. Much like a Dyson sphere.
Dark Ring UFO Seen Over Neighborhood In Colombia, Oct 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Dark Ring UFO Seen Over Neighborhood In Colombia, Oct 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Oct 4, 2019 Location of sighting: Cienaga, Colombia This woman noticed a dark ring UFO moving slowly through the clouds above her. She grabbed this quick video which shows the object moving in and out of the clouds. This is not the first time a UFO ring report has come in. On September, 1957, Private Stone was stationed at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. He was assigned to the Post Engineers. It was about 9 AM while he was working inside buildings in the Post Engineer section, when someone yelled to him and others to come outside to see the odd thing coming over head towards their area. Stone and five or six others ran out and spotted an odd, black ring, moving slowly, high above the tree tops but below the broken cloud cover. The ring seems solid enough, not a smoke ring and Private Stone guessed the size of the ring to be about 60 feet in diameter, with the ring width about five or 6 feet. (This was a guess, possibly incorrect.) Private Stone remembered his Kodak Brownie camera which was in his car. He ran over to the car, which was parked nearby, grabbed the camera and took six pictures in fairly rapid sequence. After the second picture was taken, the strange ring started to develop a mist around itself. The mist thickened rapidly until it was more like a small cloud and within 30 to 60 seconds the Black ring was completely enveloped within a small compact cloud of its own. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan
Baffling footage of a circular object in the sky above New York City has been likened to the Death Star from Star Wars by stunned conspiracy theorists.
The video begins with the view of the famous skyline of the city in New York, US.
A bright light then comes into shot above the buildings, as cameraman Mauricio Lopez voices his thoughts.
"I've got something in the sky, a blinking red light," he says.
"I believe in UFOs and I think I've got one right now."
When he zooms in, the object appears to have terrain on its surface – shown by the dark and light colours.
It also seems to have a black line striking through it, sparking the viewer to claim: "This is not a star, either."
The object appears to then change colour from white to red and at one point even seems to vanish from view before reappearing.
Mauricio posted the footage to YouTube on September 25 with the caption: "UFO over New York City".
It has since gone viral after being picked up by renowned UFO channel Mavi 77.
"It looks like the Death Star out of Star Wars," one viewer wrote.
The Death Star refers to the moon-sized space station built by the Empire in Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
In the popular franchise, it was able to destroy an entire planet with its laser beam.
Another user suggested it was "another planet", which a third agreed with.
"It is just an out of focus star, Venus perhaps," they added.
The footage comes after a series of snake-like UFOs were filmed across the US in recent months.
Daily Star Online recently revealed how the mystery "craft" appeared to have returned to the location of its first sighting above the Mojave Desert.
